Les adaptations scéniques de contes pour le jeune public, un terrain de jeu pour l’imaginaire
Authors: Pépin Jeanne-Lise 
Published: July 2019

Depuis la parution de l’ouvrage La Psychanalyse des contes de fées de Bruno Bettelheim en 1976, il semble difficile de voir dans le conte autre chose qu’un récit à analyser, décortiquer, et interpréter. En France, dans le domaine du théâtre jeune public, ce dernier occupe une place considérable et ne cesse de donner lieu à de nouvelles adaptations qui s’expriment à la fois sur scène et dans le milieu de l’édition. La tentation est alors grande d’étudier ce phénomène à l’aune des vertus pédagogiques et didactiques que nous accordons communément au conte et qui tendent à faire de lui un outil précieux pour aider l’enfant dans sa construction psychologique et plus précisément pour le préparer à son entrée dans le monde des adultes. Cependant une autre voie semble possible, celle d’envisager le conte comme un terrain de jeux pour l’imaginaire. En proposant des réécritures et des adaptations scéniques de conte, des dramaturges et des metteurs en scène ne cessent de jouer avec l’horizon d’attente du spectateur/lecteur, ce dernier ayant presque toujours une connaissance partielle ou fragmentaire de l’histoire. Ainsi, un nouvel espace narratif lui est proposé dans lequel se déploient des images ludiques et insolites – images parfois détournées ou réactualisées – et qui finalement contribuent à une forme de réenchantement du conte.
L’entrée en scène d’un premier rôle d’acteur indien : ses apports pour l’analyse anthropologique et esthétique du « jeu »
Authors: Johan Virginie 
Published: July 2019

Enfant, tout Cākyār – membre de la caste des maîtres-acteurs de Kūṭiyāṭṭam – doit monter sur la scène de l’un des « temples du jeu » des temples hindous du Kerala. Il y joue un premier rôle d’Acteur. Ce rite d’institution ancien met en abyme la société et l’art des Cākyār. Il nous fait réfléchir sur les relations entre théâtre et société et sur les méthodes d’analyse anthropologique du théâtre, puis sur la nature duelle du « jeu », marquée par un acteur distancié, à la présence ostensible, mais capable de s’identifier profondément à la fiction.
Relationship between body mass index and percentage of body fat, estimated by bio-electrical impedance among adult females in a rural community of North India
Authors: Misra P , Singh AK , Archana S , Lohiya A , Kant S 
Published: July 2019

Introduction:
Body adiposity measured by percentage of body fat (BF%) is found to be better predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than body mass index (BMI). Limited information exists showing relationship between BMI and BF% in North Indian population.

Objectives:
To study the relationship between BMI and BF% among North Indian adult females across various age strata and level of BMI.

Materials and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Ballabgarh Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (HDSS) among randomly selected females. BMI using standard techniques and BF% using bioelectrical impedance analysis was estimated. Linear regression was performed using general linear model with BF% as dependent variable and BMI as main independent variable.

Results:
Mean (±2 SD) age of participants was 41.3 ± 15.7 years. Mean BMI (±SD) was 23.3 (±4.6) kg/m2, whereas mean fat mass (±2 SD) and BF% (±95% CI) was 19.2 (±7.9) kg and 33.6 (±6.9) %. BMI and BF% were highly correlated among obese (r = 0.77), whereas least correlated (r = 0.32) in underweight females. Across age strata, correlation between BMI and BF% was maximum in 18–35 years age group (r = 0.95), whereas least in females ≥56 years (r = 0.67). Age and BMI together predicted 73% of variability in BF% in hierarchical linear regression model.

Conclusions:
In this population, we have found strong correlation between BMI and BF% particularly at higher level of BMI and in younger females. There is need to conduct more robust prospective longitudinal studies to assess BF%, which is a better predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Patients with psoriasis have a higher risk of schizophrenia
Authors: Ungprasert P , Wijarnpreecha K , Cheungpasitporn W 
Published: July 2019

Background and Objectives:
Patients with psoriasis are known to be at a higher risk of several comorbidities, but little is known about their risk of developing schizophrenia.

Methods:
A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort and case–control studies that reported relative risk, hazard ratio, odds ratio (OR), or standardized incidence ratio comparing risk of schizophrenia in patients with psoriasis versus subjects without psoriasis was conducted. Pooled OR and 95% confidence interval were calculated using random-effect, generic inverse-variance methods of DerSimonian and Laird.

Results:
A total of five studies (one retrospective cohort study and four case–control studies) with more than 6 million participants met the eligibility criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled OR of schizophrenia in patients with psoriasis versus subjects without psoriasis was 1.41 (95% confidence interval, 1.19–1.66). The statistical heterogeneity was low with an I
2 of 33%.

Conclusion:
This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated a significantly increased risk of schizophrenia among patients with psoriasis.
On the evaluation of the phase relation between temperature and wind tides based on ground-based measurements and reanalysis data in the middle atmosphere
Authors: Baumgarten Kathrin , Stober Gunter 
Published: July 2019

Abstract. The variability in the middle atmosphere is driven by a variety of waves covering different spatial and temporal scales. We diagnose the variability in the thermal tides due to changes in the background wind by an adaptive spectral filter, which takes the intermittency of tides into account. We apply this diagnostic to temperature observations from daylight-capable lidar at midlatitudes (54∘ N, 12∘ E) as well as to reanalysis data of horizontal winds from Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2). These reanalysis data provide additional wind information in the altitude range between 30 and 70 km at the location of the lidar as well as on a global scale. Using the global data gives information on the tidal modes seen at one location. A comparison of the temperature and wind information affirms whether there is a fixed phase relation of the tidal waves in the temperature and the wind data. We found that in general the local tidal signatures are dominated by migrating tidal modes, and the signature is weaker in temperatures than in winds. While the meridional wind tide leads the zonal wind tide by 90∘, the phase relation between the temperature and the wind tide is more complex. At certain altitudes the temperature tide follows the zonal wind tide. This knowledge helps in improving the interpretation of the seasonal variation in tides from different observables, especially when only data from single locations are used. The findings provide additional information about the phase stability of tidal waves, and the results clearly show the importance of a measurement acquisition on a routine basis with high temporal and spatial resolution.
Age stratigraphy in the East Antarctic Ice Sheet inferred from radio-echo sounding horizons
Authors: Winter Anna , Steinhage Daniel , Creyts Timothy T. , Kleiner Thomas , Eisen Olaf 
Published: July 2019

Abstract. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains a wealth of information that can be extracted from its internal architecture such as distribution of age, past flow features, and surface and basal properties. Airborne radar surveys can sample this stratigraphic
archive across broad areas. Here, we identify and trace key horizons across several radar surveys to obtain the stratigraphic information.
We transfer the age–depth scales from ice cores to intersecting radar data. We then propagate these age scales across the ice sheet using the high fidelity continuity of the radar horizons.
In Dronning Maud Land, including Dome Fuji, we mapped isochrones with ages of 38 and 74 ka. In the central region of East Antarctica around Dome Concordia, Vostok
and Dome Argus, we use isochrone ages of 38, 48, 90 and 161 ka.
Taking together both regions, we provide isochrone depths traced along a combined profile length of more than 40 000 km and discuss uncertainties of the obtained stratigraphy, as well as factors important to consider for further expansion.
This data set is the most extensive distribution of internal horizons in East Antarctica to date. The isochrone depths presented in this study are available on PANGAEA (https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.895528; Winter et al., 2018).
Wildland fire potential outlooks for Portugal using meteorological indices of fire danger

Published: July 2019

Abstract. Portugal is recurrently affected by large wildfire events that have serious
impacts at the socio-economic and environmental levels and dramatic
consequences associated with the loss of lives and the destruction of the
landscape. Accordingly, seasonal forecasts are required to assist fire
managers, thus contributing to alter the historically based purely reactive
response. In this context, we present and discuss a statistical model to
estimate the probability that the total burned area during summer will
exceed a given threshold. The statistical model uses meteorological
information that rates the accumulation of thermal and vegetation stress.
Outlooks for the 39-year study period (1980–2018) show that, when the
statistical model is applied from 26 May to 30 June, out of
the six severe years, only one year is not anticipated as potentially severe
and, out of the six weak years, only one is not anticipated as potentially
weak. The availability of outlooks of wildfire potential with an
anticipation of up to 1 month before the starting of the fire season, such
as the one proposed here, may serve to provide clear directions for the fire
community when planning prevention and combating fire events.
Social Movements for Freedom An Anti-Oppressive Approach to Literacy and Content Area Learning in an Urban Fourth Grade Classroom
Authors: Bryce Nadine 
Published: July 2019

In a unit on social movements for freedom, urban fourth grade students examined the activities and lives of activists who worked for social change. Using an integrative and strategic approach to literacy, children researched, wrote, and presented their ideas to family and community members through visual, textual, digital and artistic expressions. In this autoethnography, I present several stories of my encounters with children, to describe how they synthesized learning, explored the intersection of race, economics and power, identified tensions in approaches to civil rights, and challenged heteronormativity. Children learned the struggle for justice is complex and ongoing, and that people must work together and persist to bring about social change.

Published: July 2019

Objective: This study highlights the importance of understanding the impact of cultural diversity on work engagement in Saudi Arabia. Nurse leaders are appointed the challenging task of maintaining and promoting state-of-the art, work engagement efforts within hospitals that differ in structure, ownership, the various generations of nurses and their cultural diversity.Methods: The study utilized an inductive, interpretive, and explanatory multiple case study interview design of 16 nurses across 8 hospitals in Saudi Arabia.Results: We identified three main themes: family values and background, diverse personal culture and perceived organizational microclimate.Conclusions: This study showed that cultural differences between Saudi and expatriates nurses had an impact on work engagement. These findings are generalizable to other countries that rely heavily on immigrant nurse workers to fill the shortage. The findings from this study will create awareness of cultural interaction among nurses and its impact on nursing practice as the country transitions through a women empowerment movement while attaining Saudi’s “Vision 2030”.
Categorías de exclusión en el acceso a la asistencia sanitaria de las personas migrantes en Canadá: una perspectiva comparada
Authors: La Spina Encarnación 
Published: July 2019

Dentro del ámbito de los derechos sociales, para las personas migrantes el derecho a la protección de la salud es un ejemplo prototípico de vulnerabilidad dada su compleja materialización por medio del acceso universal al derecho a la asistencia sanitaria. Durante el reciente periodo de crisis económica, las condiciones de acceso a la asistencia sanitaria para las personas migrantes han sido objeto de importantes reformas en diferentes Estados liberales. Por ejemplo, en el sur de Europa, países como España, Grecia e Italia han restringido el acceso universal a la asistencia sanitaria de forma significativa y, en ocasiones incompatible con los estándares internacionales de protección. Así pues, esta propuesta trata de observar los efectos de la tendenciosa y progresiva «globalización» restrictiva del derecho a la asistencia sanitaria para las personas migrantes en latitudes geográficas diferentes a España: Canadá. De un lado, se plantea revisar las diferentes categorías jurídicas de personas migrantes y aquellas asociadas al paradigma del «inmigrante enfermo» con vistas a justificar porque son objeto de exclusión pese a la situación de vulnerabilidad en la que se encuentran. Y, de otro lado, se analizan las categorías de exclusión del derecho a la salud de las personas migrantes poniendo especial énfasis en las reformas y contrarreformas más importantes de tales países. A partir del 2012, con la aprobación del controvertido Real Decreto-ley 16/2012 y los efectos de la Bill C-31 en la reforma IFHP ambos han marcado en términos cualitativos un punto de inflexión en la protección al derecho a la asistencia sanitaria para las personas migrantes y refugiadas en el territorio canadiense y español. Ahora bien, pese a los paralelismos, el acceso fragmentado «por categorías» a la asistencia sanitaria y el impacto del paradigma del inmigrante enfermo aporta evidencias sobre la peligrosa tendencia a perpetuar sine die por medio de procesos de categorización excluyente, situaciones graves de vulnerabilidad, discriminación y exclusión social en contextos migratorios globales.
La reforma constitucional de 2016 y sus razones
Authors: Olivetti Marco 
Published: July 2019

Se contiene en este texto un breve análisis sobre la reforma constitucional rechazada en referéndum en Italia, en el año 2016. La reforma más importante fue la del sistema bicameral, que pretendía aclarar el papel del Senado y convertirlo en una Cámara de representación territorial. Esto habría servido tambien para modificar el modelo de relación entre Estado y regiones. También se intentaban reducir costes del funcionamiento de las instituciones representativas. A pesar de que la reforma constitucional fracasó, en el artículo se defienden algunos elementos valiosos de la reforma, que al no haberse aprobado han provocado que, en este momento, siga habiendo disfunciones en el sistema político constitucional italiano.
A la búsqueda de la identidad constitucional: una aproximación al caso español y europeo en clave de pluralismo constitucional y diálogo judicial
Authors: Martínez López-Sáez Mónica 
Published: July 2019

En los últimos años, la noción de «identidad constitucional» se ha convertido en un recurso político-constitucional popular a la vez que en un concepto jurídico indeterminado. Resulta difícil tratar de definir la noción enigmática de «identidad constitucional» y su ámbito de aplicación, debido a la falta de consenso entre la doctrina académica, por lo que el presente artículo trata de proporcionar una definición amplia o integradora a través de una serie criterios e instrumentos para su identificación y aproximación jurídica. Con tal premisa, se efectúa un análisis de lo que constituye tanto la identidad constitucional nacional como europea, con especial interés en la identidad constitucional española y la de la Unión Europea. Además, el presente estudio trata de abordar los retos para la integración europea como resultado del conflicto inherente entre la primacía del Derecho de la Unión Europea y el contralímite que consagra en su artículo 4.2 TUE sobre el respeto a la identidad nacional de los Estados que la componen. Finalmente, la autora concluye con unas propuestas de mejora y acercamiento a los problemas planteados, a través de un dialogo activo, constructivo y continuado, impulsado por el procedimiento prejudicial europeo.
Comparison of Cancer Burden and Nonprofit Organization Funding Reveals Disparities in Funding Across Cancer Types
Authors: Kamath Suneel D. , Kircher Sheetal M. , Benson Al B. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractBackground: Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) in oncology are vital for patient advocacy and funding research for rare cancers, young investigators, and innovative projects. However, some cancers may be underfunded relative to their burden. This study examined the alignment of cancer burden by histology with NPO funding for each histology. Patients and Methods: This nationwide, cross-sectional study conducted from October 2017 through February 2018 included all oncology NPOs with >$5 million in annual revenue. Total revenue from NPOs supporting individual cancer types with the incidence, mortality, and person-years of life lost (PYLL) for each cancer type was compared using scatter plots and Pearson correlation coefficients. Correlation of expenditure types (eg, fundraising, patient education) with revenue was assessed using Pearson correlation coefficients. Effect of disease association with a stigmatized behavior (eg, lung cancer and smoking) was evaluated using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 119 cancer-related NPOs were included, generating approximately $6 billion in annual revenue in 2015. Cancers with the largest revenue were breast cancer ($460 million; 33.2%), leukemia ($201 million; 14.5%), pediatric cancers ($177 million; 12.8%), and lymphoma ($145 million; 10.5%). Breast cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, and pediatric cancers were all well funded compared with their incidence, mortality, and PYLL. Gastrointestinal (colorectal, pancreas, and hepatobiliary), gynecologic (ovarian, cervical, and endometrial), brain, and lung cancers were poorly funded in all 3 metrics. All cancers associated with a stigmatized behavior were poorly funded in at least 2 metrics. Increased spending on fundraising, administrative costs, patient education, and treatment was highly correlated with increased revenue (Pearson correlation coefficients all >0.92). Conclusions: NPO funding by cancer type is not proportionate with individual cancer burden on society. Disease stigma negatively impacts funding. A significant need exists to increase awareness and funding for many undersupported but common and highly lethal cancers.
Visual complexity modelling based on image features fusion of multiple kernels
Authors: Fernandez-Lozano Carlos , Carballal Adrian , Machado Penousal , Santos Antonino , Romero Juan 
Published: July 2019

Humans’ perception of visual complexity is often regarded as one of the key principles of aesthetic order, and is intimately related to the physiological, neurological and, possibly, psychological characteristics of the human mind. For these reasons, creating accurate computational models of visual complexity is a demanding task. Building upon on previous work in the field (Forsythe et al., 2011; Machado et al., 2015) we explore the use of Machine Learning techniques to create computational models of visual complexity. For that purpose, we use a dataset composed of 800 visual stimuli divided into five categories, describing each stimulus by 329 features based on edge detection, compression error and Zipf’s law. In an initial stage, a comparative analysis of representative state-of-the-art Machine Learning approaches is performed. Subsequently, we conduct an exhaustive outlier analysis. We analyze the impact of removing the extreme outliers, concluding that Feature Selection Multiple Kernel Learning obtains the best results, yielding an average correlation to humans’ perception of complexity of 0.71 with only twenty-two features. These results outperform the current state-of-the-art, showing the potential of this technique for regression.
Optimal Exercise Time to Control Glucose in type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Ohemeng M. O. , Otoo D. , Donkoh E. K. , Andoh H. 
Published: July 2019

Diabetes is a lifelong disease that affect the way the body regulates blood glucose. Type 2 diabetes occurs when β cells do not produce enough insulin to regulate glucose in the blood. In this paper the authors used exercise as a tool to predict the optimal effect of glucose regulation in a diabetic patient using simulation. Computer simulations were performed on the proposed mathematical model to determine the number of heartbeats a diabetic patient need to train in other to regulate the glucose level to normalcy. This cross-sectional study took place at Sunyani Regional Hospital, one of the 10 regions in Ghana, between September 2018 and May 2019. The simulations show the effects of different rate of exercise on glucose level. The results shows that the optimal heartbeat for a diabetic patients is 140 beats per minute corresponding to a rate of 0.8. If this is done continuously for at least 3 times in a week, the glucose level could be regulated to normal within 50 weeks.

Published: July 2019

Background: Self-medication is defined as the use of medicines to treat self-recognized or self-diagnosed conditions or symptoms, instead of seeking advice from professionals.
Aim: Our study was aimed to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of self-medication among undergraduates in different colleges of Kathmandu valley.
Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among undergraduates of Kathmandu valley. A semi-structured questionnaire was distributed to students in 4 different colleges. Chi-square test was used to determine statistical significance. Likert’s scale was used to measure attitude.
Results: 240 students participated in this study. Totally, (92.9%) students had known and taken medicine without doctor’s prescription. More than half of the participants (56.6%) had good knowledge on self-medication and nearly three quarter (74.7%) of the respondents had a positive attitude regarding self-medication. Fever, cough/cold and aches/pain were the most common symptoms for self-medication, thus making antipyretics and analgesics the most popular self-medication drugs. Pharmacists and family were the major source of information regarding self-medication.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, the prevalence of self-medication was high (94.9%). Majority respondents had good knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of self-medication but still practiced it.
