Intrepid Teacher Abroad
Authors: Cotner Teresa 
Published: May 2019

This study describes development of teacher knowledge through a short term, early field experience, for preservice teachers who taught place-based art lessons in a community-center in Japan. Eight U.S. undergraduate, pre-credential students participated in this study. The author of this paper, a participant observer, collected and examined pre- and post-questionnaire responses, participant observation field notes, photographs, and one three-years-after reflection, through constant comparison, thematic analysis, and explanatory case study. This study found no negative outcomes for preservice teachers. Findings from this study concur with a growing body of literature that explores how a short term, international, early field experience can foster the development of teacher knowledge, including pedagogy, subject matter, students and environmental context, and further suggest that short term, international, early field experiences teaching place-based art can foster professional achievement.

Background: HIV infection is a risk factor for a variety of endocrine problems. Objectives: This study investigated the body mass index (BMI), Systolic blood pressure (SBP), Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and serum cortisol level as stress factor/index symptomatic HIV/AIDS male subjects on ART who are negative to malaria parasite in Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria. Methods: A total of 274 adult male participants aged between 18 and 60 (42 ±13) years were randomly recruited at the Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) Centre in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital and grouped based on WHO criteria for staging HIV into symptomatic HIV (stage 11) infected male participants on ART (A: n=69), Symptomatic HIV subjects not on ART (B: n= 69), Asymptomatic HIV positive subjects (C: n= 68) and HIV seronegative subjects (D: n= 68). Blood samples were collected from the participants for the determination of HIV status by immunochromatography and HIV confirmation by Western Blot. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to assay for cortisol level. Results: The results showed a significantly increased BMI and decreased mean serum cortisol level in HIV/AIDS seropositive participants on ART than in those, not on ART (p<0.05). Also, the BMI and mean serum cortisol level were significantly decreased and increased respectively in HIV/AIDS seropositive participants not on ART than in Asymptomatic HIV positive subjects and control respectively (p<0.05). However, the mean SBP and DBP did not differ significantly between the groups studied (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study revealed a decreased stress index in HIV/AIDS subjects on ART with hypercortisolism and lower BMI in symptomatic HIV participants, not on ART.

Published: April 2019

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders are a major public health problem in industrialized and developing countries. The present study was aimed to find out the prevalence of acute and chronic WMSD’s in Industrial workers. Methodology: This cross-sectional observational study was carried out in 60 workers of the Adon Block department workers of the electrical & automation industry, Ahmednagar. Pre-structured occupational Performa was filled by asking questions in the worker’s local language. The Nordic pain Questionnaire was filled by asking the subjects to mark the sites of pain on body chart paper. The risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal problems were assessed by the working posture of workers and repetitive movements in industrial set up. The data collected were interpreted and analyzed. Results: In the present study, 60 workers were selected, of which a number of females were 39 (65%) while males were 21 (35%). The Neck (20.2%) followed by the shoulder (14.9%), elbow (14.4%) and knee (14.4%) were most commonly involved. There was a statistically significant variation in the number of workers involved according to the posture (sitting vs standing) and part of the MSK system involved. Conclusion: The WMSD’s are common in Adon block department workers. The involvement of neck, shoulder, lower back and arm was common in sitting position, while the involvement of upper back, elbow and knee were common in standing position. The disorders are commonly seen in workers irrespective of their duration of work and gender.

Introduction: Considering the immunity enhancing property of melatonin, a study on the evaluation of the effect of melatonin on the hematological parameters in patients suffering from Periodontitis. Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Periodontics, Rural Dental College, Loni. Patients of chronic Periodontitis, of age between 18 to 65 years of either gender ready to give informed consent to participate in the study were included. Postoperative patients, patients having night duties, drivers and those using heavy machinery, pregnant women, lactating mothers, patients with any clinically significant systemic disease and patients on any other drugs were excluded from the study. Patients were divided into two Groups. Group B received scaling and root planning (SRP) and melatonin 3 mg per day were compared to Group A which received SRP only. The Total Leukocyte count, Differential Leukocyte count and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate of each patient was studied at a baseline, 1st (30 days) visit, 2nd (60 days) visit and 3rd (90 days) visit. Results: Both the groups consisted of 80 subjects each. Group A consisted of 71.25% male and 28.75% female patients. There were 56.25% male and 43.75% female patients in Group B. With respect to visit 3, the TLC was statistically lower in Group B. The neutrophil count of Group B was significantly lower during visit 3 as compared to Group A. The lymphocyte count of Group B was significantly lower than that of Group A during the visit 1, and also significantly higher during visit 3 on comparison with Group A. There was no statistically significant difference in the groups with respect to eosinophil and basophil count. The Monocyte count of Group B was statistically lower when compared to that of Group A. There was no statistically significant difference between ESR of Group A & Group B. Conclusions: It can be concluded that melatonin has a positive effect on TLC and differential count of patients of periodontitis, conferring a new facet to the management of periodontitis and an attempt to impede the disease progression.

Published: April 2019

Introduction: Ankle injuries comprise a major group of lower limb trauma. Many of these injuries can be treated by manipulative reduction and conservative treatment and some of these yield satisfactory results, so present study was undertaken to know the effectiveness of surgical management of ankle fractures. Method: 42 surgically treated displaced fractures are included and studied in detail of age, sex, occupation, type of fracture, mode of injury, type of treatment, Clinical evidence of fracture union, Radiological evidence of fracture union, Relation of talus in the ankle mortise, Range of mobility of the ankle, Residual disability and pain, Ability to walk and time of return to duty and complications were noted. Result: 42 cases were surgically treated, most of the patients were operated on an emergency basis within 24 hours of injury. Based on the mechanism of injury Pronation- External Rotation (30.9%) and Based on Ao Classification Type B - B2 (53.3%) were the major type of fractures. In the majority of cases, Malleolar screws type of implants used. In overall the final status of patients is good (ability to walk). Conclusion: Displaced ankle fractures need accurate open reduction and internal fixation and postoperative immobilization for 6 weeks. This will suffice to get good results. Post-operative rigid immobilization and protected weight bearing for 12 weeks is minimal to achieve good union followed by physiotherapy to restore the maximum range of movements

Du pont au seuil : Un autre espace de la traduction
Authors: Sofo Giuseppe 
Published: April 2019

Le discours sur la traduction regorge de métaphores censées décrire la nature de ce processus linguistique et culturel, mais qui risquent souvent d’enfermer ses finalités dans des limites figées, qui ne nous permettent pas d’en saisir jusqu’au fond les possibilités multiples. Parmi ces métaphores, l’image de la traduction comme pont nous permet de passer d’une langue à l’autre et d’une culture à l’autre. L’image des deux rives a sûrement été fructueuse dans la traductologie, mais voir la traduction comme un pont risque de nous donner une fausse image du rôle joué par cette pratique linguistique et culturelle. Cette image présuppose des rives distinctes et distantes, et un voyage d’aller simple qui ne prévoit pas de vrai échange entre les deux espaces, alors qu’il faudrait imaginer la traduction comme un espace fluide, dans lequel ce qui compte n’est plus l’opposition entre les deux rives, que le pont permet, au lieu de l’effacer, mais plutôt l’échange, le contact direct et non médié, l’espace de fluidité construit par l’« entre-deux », ce qui nous renvoie aux concepts de ‘in-between’, de ‘troisième espace’ si chers aux études sur la traduction, surtout dans les contextes postcoloniaux. Utiliser l’image du pont en tant que représentation du rôle de la traduction n’est donc pas seulement erroné, mais potentiellement dangereux, parce que cette image va contre le refus des dichotomies binaires et des identités uniformes qui est à la base d’une vision de la traduction en tant que pratique essentiellement interlinguistique et interculturelle, plurilingue et qui se construit à travers le partage. Plutôt qu’un pont, la traduction est un seuil, un espace liminaire, un contre-point qui offre la possibilité de découvrir le texte depuis des perspectives différentes, et de plonger dans le flux en mouvement éternel des mots, dans une tentative de traduire l’indicible, cette partie non-exprimée, non-traduite de tout texte et de toute langue qui peut se lire seulement à travers ce jeu de travestissements, de fluidité et de rencontres de soi et de l’autre qu’est la traduction.
La Passion christique au théâtre : réinterprétations des symboles sacrés dans le Mystère de la Passion d’Arnoul Gréban et Partage de midi de Paul Claudel
Authors: Averseng Hélène 
Published: April 2019

Cet article propose une mise en regard de deux œuvres déterminantes du théâtre français, le Mystère de la Passion d’Arnoul Gréban et Partage de midi de Paul Claudel, autour de la notion de réécriture de la Passion christique. De la poétique du mystère médiéval à la relecture intimiste claudélienne, sont observées les intertextualités thématiques qui se jouent dans la construction d’un imaginaire sacré, au sein d’une évolution générique. Nous souhaitons ainsi définir les traits symboliques de la Passion théâtrale, par la transmission des symboles « Passionnels ». À travers les deux grands groupes thématiques pris en considération, l’espace-temps et les personnages, nous proposons de définir les intérêts – génériques, poétiques, métaphysiques – que présentent les réécritures des symboles sacrés.
Quand « la ligne part en queue de poisson ». Paradoxes des figures de pont dans les œuvres de Francis Alÿs, Bridge / Puente (2006) et Don’t cross the bridge before you get to the river (2008)
Authors: Ducoux Antoine 
Published: April 2019

Le rôle de l’artiste est-il de bâtir des ponts et de combler les fossés entre les peuples ? Les figures de la traversée et du passage dans les œuvres de l’artiste belge Francis Alÿs sont des édifices inachevés, autour desquels l’artiste construit une dramaturgie symbolique instable, qui déroute le spectateur en multipliant les paradoxes et les impasses logiques. Cet article propose une étude des œuvres Bridge/Puente (2006) et Don’t cross the bridge before you get to the river (2008). Son objectif est d’explorer les ambivalences d’une démarche « bizarre » qui s’est confrontée à de véritables contraintes d’ordre politique. En bâtissant des ponts à la fois réels et imaginaires, Francis Alÿs fait signe vers l’horizon utopique d’un lien entre les peuples, tout en refusant de l’actualiser. Au cœur de ce système symbolique, l’idée de « jeu » est primordiale car elle oppose à l’idée de clôture, de comblement, une économie du manque, qui permet de susciter la rêverie du spectateur.
Il kitsch e il vuoto di valori tra romanzo e saggio.
Authors: Borys Carola 
Published: April 2019

Il problema del kitsch accompagna l’opera di Hermann Broch dagli anni Trenta alla sua morte nel 1951 e influenza l’intera sua pratica del romanzo. In questo testo, cercherò in un primo momento di estrarre una definizionedas welt di kitsch a partire da alcuni saggi di Broch ; in un secondo momento, la metterò in relazione con la scrittura romanzesca, concentrandomi sull’esempio de I sonnambuli.
Le dérèglement poétique à l’âge des Lumières
Authors: Capriotti Marco 
Published: April 2019

Cette étude vise à analyser le concept d’ « enthousiasme » tel qu’il fut pensé en Angleterre et en France aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. . Il s’agit d’abord de décrire comment le terme a été utilisé pour indiquer certains mouvements protestants radicaux pendant les Guerres de Religion. Ensuite, nous nous appuierons sur les catégories philosophiques employées par les intellectuels de l’époque pour considérer un phénomène, celui des « inspirations privées », qu’on jugeait presque comme pathologique. À travers Locke et Shaftesbury, qui envisagèrent une notion d’ « enthousiasme » positive et limitée au domaine esthétique, nous montrerons la façon dont cette notion fut conçue dans les traités d’esthétique français et par Voltaire : une théorie classiciste du dérèglement poétique, aux traits pareils à ceux d’un ravissement rituel.
Awareness during CPR on cardiac arrest due to aortic dissection
Authors: Lundsgaard Rune Sarauw 
Published: May 2019

Awareness during CPR is formerly reported in the literature but only in rare cases and it is still not clear whether these cases have anything in common.
A case report regarding a 69-year old male patient.
The patient was admitted to the hospital due to 3 days dyspeptic symptoms and sudden onset of dyspnoea a few hours before arriva. During admission a short period of tachycardia (250/min) is followed by asystolic cardiac arrest. CPR is immediately initiated. By the arrival of the cardio-resuscitation-team, the patient has a peripheral hemoglobin saturation of 100% and a high level of awareness with open eyes and movement of the head and both arms and legs. Re-evaluation of the hearts rhythm after 3 minutes still shows asystoli. A total of 10 mg of Epinephrine is administered in boluses of 1 mg every 3-5 minutes. By the 3ed hand-off for rhythm evaluation, the patient is orally intubated. A total of 5 arterial gas samples are done during the 90 minute CPR, and despite a decrease in pH to 7,11 and lactate of 18 after 90 minutes all other markers remain within the normal range, and both the arterial and peripheral hemoglobin saturation remains 100%. The level of awareness does not decrease notably during the 90 minutes. Echocardiography shows a heart with no noticeable ultrasonic movement. A projection visualizing the aortic arch raises suspicion of an aortic dissection. The autopsy shows he has have suffered a complete aortic dissection
High level of awareness plus saturation and arterial gas almost within the normal range through all 90 minutes indicate very effective chest compressions and peripheral and cerebral blood flow. Even though the patient had a poor prognosis (complete aortic dissection and refractory asystole), termination of CPR raised ethical questions in the team as the patient was still conscious once the resuscitation was terminated by 90 minutes. Awareness during CPR also raises the question of proper sedation doing resuscitation, which is currently not part of the guidelines. Further research regarding pain relief during CPR as well as increased focus on communicative and ethical aspects during CPR is needed.
