Un itinéraire distinct du simple prêtre ?
Authors: Hou François 
Published: November 2024

Le xixe siècle concordataire est marqué par une transformation profonde du recrutement sacerdotal : les vocations proviennent désormais massivement du monde paysan tandis qu’elles deviennent très rares dans la bourgeoisie comme dans l’ancienne noblesse. S’interroger sur les perspectives de carrière qu’ouvre dans la première moitié du xixe siècle l’entrée dans l’état ecclésiastique à partir du cas des chanoines des chapitres reconstitués dans les cathédrales françaises à partir de 1802 donne l’occasion d’examiner la place qu’occupe la vocation sacerdotale dans la société française postrévolutionnaire. En effet, plusieurs évêques, dans les premières années du Concordat, désignent le canonicat comme un état analogue à celui qu’occuperaient dans le monde les enfants de la bourgeoisie. Revaloriser le canonicat, dont l’évêque peut désormais librement disposer grâce à son monopole sur les nominations aux titres ecclésiastiques, serait ainsi un moyen de favoriser l’éclosion de vocations parmi les enfants des élites. Les chanoines du xixe siècle présentent incontestablement un profil social distinct de la majorité des prêtres de l’époque concordataire : les prêtres issus des couches supérieures de la société sont surreprésentés au sein des chapitres. Cependant, si les ecclésiastiques socialement favorisés bénéficient d’avantages indéniables pour obtenir le canonicat, la disparition de l’ancien système bénéficial, la nécessité, dans les deux premières décennies du siècle, d’affecter aux paroisses les jeunes prêtres et l’affirmation d’une conception méritocratique de la carrière cléricale empêchent le canonicat de redevenir l’horizon naturel de la vocation pour les fils de la bourgeoisie : le canonicat cesse en effet d’être un état pour devenir une étape, ou, plus souvent, l’aboutissement possible d’une carrière ecclésiastique normalisée.
Introduction : Penser les usages artistiques des traces sonores

Published: November 2024

Les archives sont aussi bien des lieux de pouvoir que des lieux de mémoire. De ce fait, les pratiques artistiques qui explorent des archives sonores ont la capacité de transformer de façon sensible nos visions du passé et de produire de nouveaux savoirs. Les articles de ce numéro de Filigrane interrogent le potentiel créateur des archives sonores. Comment, à partir des archives sonores, les artistes proposent-ils ou elles des récits contre-hégémoniques de l’histoire ? Quels sont les processus de création mis en œuvre dans la réutilisation de ces archives ? Comment les artistes et leurs œuvres réactivent-ils par l’écoute les voix du passé, proposent-ils de nouveaux récits, explorent-ils les dits et non-dits de la mémoire collective et de l’histoire officielle, et font-ils résonner les luttes du passé pour comprendre celles du présent ?

Authors: Klein Yolandy , Lubinga Stellah , Masiya Tyanai 
Published: November 2024

Background: Internal controls in the supply chain management (SCM) are very important as they are the checks and balances that ensure compliance with rules and regulations. Internal controls further promote compliance, increase transparency and accountability and reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions.Objectives: The study examined the factors influencing internal controls within the SCM function in the Department of Social Development (DSD), South Africa.Method: Using a qualitative research approach and a case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Thematic analyses were used to interpret the findings.Results: The study’s findings established that there are challenges affecting the effectiveness of internal controls in the SCM function, namely, poor policy implementation, outdated SCM policy, a lack of training on policies and procedures, inadequate monitoring and evaluation of SCM, non-compliance with SCM rules and regulations, capacity constraints in the SCM directorate and a lack of consequence management.Conclusion: Effective internal controls are crucial for organisations to compete successfully in the supply chain environment. In this regard, there must be adherence to financial management processes and procedures that guide and serve as internal controls.Contribution: The study contributes towards the strengthening of internal controls in the DSD by paying particular attention to the five essential components of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework.
A review of trauma-informed neuroscientific theory to unpack the early childhood education teacher’s pastoral role in South Africa
Authors: Meier Corinne 
Published: November 2024

Background: This review explores the pastoral role of early childhood development (ECD) teachers through a trauma-informed lens, grounded in neuroscience. Traumatised learners experience neurobiological changes that hinder cognitive and physical functioning. The review highlights the importance of pastoral support in ECD because of learners’ increasing mental health needs. Teachers must be equipped with various strategies to support emotional development, and collaborate with school nurses, counsellors, and psychologists, especially those specialising in ECD, to foster learners’ well-being and growth.Aim: This study aimed to examine the ECD teacher’s pastoral role, informed by neuroscience, in supporting learners with childhood trauma.Setting: The study focuses on ECD teachers in South Africa working with young learners affected by trauma.Methods: A contextual and conceptual literature review was conducted using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analysed through hermeneutics and interpretivism.Results: Understanding neuroscientific principles can transform the ECD teacher’s role, offering insights into trauma’s neurological effects. Teachers can implement resilience-building strategies and create trauma-informed environments that support learners’ emotional, cognitive, and social development.Conclusion: Neuroscientific theories can reshape the ECD teacher’s pastoral role, fostering safe, trusting spaces for learners’ growth. This approach helps to mitigate the effects of trauma, promoting resilience and social competence in learners, and contributes to a supportive learning environment.Contribution: Trauma-informed, neuroscience-based practices enable ECD teachers to prioritise empathy, safety, and trust, addressing the needs of traumatised learners and promoting resilience through early intervention.
Comparing the Doppler flow parameters of orbital vessels among healthy nonsmokers, diabetic nonsmokers, and diabetic smokers visiting a tertiary health-care center
Authors: Mahesh Babu , Manjegowda Nidhi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

PURPOSE:
The present study aimed to assess the impact of diabetes mellitus and smoking in orbital vessels, utilizing resistive index (RI) through color Doppler imaging (CDI).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The cross-sectional study consisted of 90 participants divided into three groups of 30 each. Group A consisted of normal individuals, Group B consisted of patients with diabetes, and Group C consisted of patients with a history of diabetes and smoking. The RIs were obtained for the orbital vessels for both eyes using CDI. Analysis of variance with post hoc Tukey’s HSD test was conducted for pairwise comparison of the groups. Pearson’s correlation test was used to correlate between RI and the amount of smoking.

RESULTS:
Significant differences were observed in the mean RI values of the ophthalmic artery, central retinal artery (CRA), and central retinal vein (CRV) in all three groups bilaterally (P < 0.001). Compared with patients in Group A, those in Group B had significantly larger RIs for all orbital vessels in both eyes (P < 0.01 for all). Patients in Group C had significantly larger RI for all three vessels (P < 0.001 for all) except for the CRV in the right eye than those in Group A. Compared with patients in Group B, those in Group C had significantly larger RI in CRA bilaterally (P = 0.05 for the right eyes and P = 0.024 for the left eyes). In Group C, a positive correlation was observed between RIs of all orbital vessels and the amount of smoking.

CONCLUSION:
RIs of the orbital vessels are significantly increased in patients with diabetes and higher in diabetic smokers, suggesting that diabetes affects the retinal vasculature, and smoking exacerbates this pathology.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
The effect of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on the efficacy of nucleoside analogues (NAs) in antiviral therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains controversial.
AIM
To investigate the influence of NAFLD on virological response in CHB patients undergoing NAs treatment.
METHODS
Logistic regression analysis was conducted on a cohort of 465 CHB patients from two hospitals to determine whether NAFLD was a risk factor for adverse reactions to NAs. CHB patients were followed up for more than 28 months after initial antiviral treatment, and further validation was performed using different viral load populations.
RESULTS
NAFLD was identified as an independent risk factor for partial virological response following antiviral therapy with NAs (odds ratio = 1.777, P = 0.017). In our subsequent analysis focusing on CHB patients with high viral load, the NAFLD group exhibited significantly longer virus shedding time and lower proportion of the complete virological response compared with the non-NAFLD group (16.8 ± 6.1 vs 13.0 ± 6.8, P < 0.05). During the 24-month period of antiviral treatment with NAs, hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels decreased slowly in the NAFLD group, and the negative conversion rate of HBV was notably lower than that observed in non-NAFLD group (P = 0.001). Similar results were obtained when analyzing patients with low baseline HBV viral load within the NAFLD group.
CONCLUSION
Coexistence of NAFLD may diminish virological response among CHB patients receiving antiviral treatment with NAs.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Neurocognitive impairment, including minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) and overt hepatic encephalopathy, is one of the most common complications of all types of primary liver diseases, such as hepatitis B, biliary cholangitis, and autoimmune hepatitis. The EncephalApp Stroop test is a smartphone application-based test that is time-saving for MHE screening. However, neurocognitive impairment is different between alcoholic cirrhosis patients and nonalcoholic cirrhosis patients, so the cutoff value for MHE diagnosis might be inflated.
AIM
To validate the Stroop test in nonalcoholic cirrhosis patients.
METHODS
This external validation was performed at the National Center for Infectious Diseases (Beijing). Liver cirrhosis patients aged between 18 and 65 years who voluntarily enrolled in the study and provided signed informed consent were included. The Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score (PHES) test was used as the standard diagnostic criterion for MHE. The EncephalApp Stroop test was then performed on the iPad, including two sessions of tests (“off” and “on”) to measure patients’ ability to differentiate between numbers and letters. We assessed the performance of the EncephalApp Stroop test in terms of the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, with the PHES as the standard criterion.
RESULTS
A total of 160 nonalcoholic cirrhosis patients were included in this validation study, including 87 (54.4%) patients without MHE and 73 (45.6%) patients with MHE. Taking the PHES as the gold standard, the EncephalApp Stroop test performed well for nonalcoholic liver cirrhosis patients in terms of “off” time [AUC: 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.79-0.91] and “on + off” time (AUC: 0.85, 95%CI: 0.80-0.91); however, total runs of “off” session (AUC: 0.61, 95%CI: 0.52-0.69), total runs of “on” session (AUC: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.48-0.65), and “on – off” time (AUC: 0.54, 95%CI: 0.44-0.63) were comparatively low. The optimal cutoff points were “off” time > 101.93 seconds and “on + off” time > 205.86 seconds, with sensitivities of 0.84 and 0.90, specificities of 0.77 and 0.71, positive predictive values of 0.75 and 0.72, and false-positive values of 0.85 and 0.89, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Our results suggest that different cutoffs should be used for the EncephalApp Stroop tool for MHE screening between alcoholic and nonalcoholic living patients, which is a critical check before generalization to screen for neurocognitive impairment among the whole population of chronic liver diseases.

Authors: Yu Yong-Bo , Fu Xiu-Juan , Xu Guo-Fen , Niu Ling-Yun , Duan Ruo-Nan , Yao Jia , Zhao Ning-Hui 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Patients with liver cirrhosis are universally malnourished and the nocturnal snacks intervention is the currently recommended nutritional intervention for patients with liver cirrhosis. Body composition is an important indicator for the assessment of nutritional conditions. We investigated the effects of nocturnal snacks (200 kcal/day) for 3 months on body composition in patients with liver cirrhosis.
AIM
To investigate the effect of nocturnal snacks on body composition in patients with cirrhosis.
METHODS
Seventy patients with liver cirrhosis and 30 healthy controls were enrolled, and differences in body composition were detected using InBody 720, a body composition analyzer. The patients were further randomized into a normal diet group (three meals a day) and nocturnal snacks group (three meals a day + nocturnal snacks). The effect of nocturnal snacks on the body composition of patients with cirrhosis was assessed after 3 months of intervention.
RESULTS
Body fat mass (BFM), skeletal muscle mass (SMM), fat free mass, visceral fat area (VFA), and body cell mass (BCM) were significantly lower in the liver cirrhosis patients than in the healthy controls. After 3 months’ intervention, BFM, VFA and BCM were significantly higher in the nocturnal snacks group than in the normal diet group, with no significant differences in total caloric intake and daily activity. However, there was no significant difference in SMM between the nocturnal snacks and normal diet groups.
CONCLUSION
Long-term nocturnal snacks may improve body composition indices such as BFM, VFA and BCM in patients with cirrhosis. However, the improvement was minor for SMM.

BACKGROUND
Liver transplantation (LT) has demonstrated favorable efficacy in managing end-stage alveolar echinococcosis. Nevertheless, the current research focal points and advancement trends remain ambiguous.
AIM
To map the research landscape to underscore critical areas of focus, influential studies, and future directions of LT for echinococcosis treatment.
METHODS
Publications on LT for echinococcosis treatment published between 1900 and 2023 were searched in the Web of Science database and analyzed using bibliometrics.
RESULTS
A total of 14 countries/regions, 75 institutions, and 499 authors have published research articles, with China, Turkey, and France being the three most productive countries. The four institutions with the most contributions were Sichuan University, Xinjiang Medical University, the University de Franche Comte, and Inonu University. The three authors who contributed the most were Wen Hao, Wang Wentao, and Bresson Hadni Solange. The four most common keywords were alveolar echinococcosis, LT, ex-vivo liver resection and autotransplantation, and echinococcosis multilocularies.
CONCLUSION
Our study found that the treatment of complications after LT for echinococcosis treatment and the preoperative surgical plan based on the anatomical relationship between the lesion and the blood vessel are early research hotspots. Recent research focuses on the treatment of complications after ex-vivo liver resection and autotransplantation, especially vascular complications.

Mental disorder features unhealthy situations such as sleep disturbance, social withdrawal and impaired role functioning, all of which are treated with herbal formulations, by traditional healers. Aframomum melegueta and Bidens pilosa are medicinal plants applied traditionally to treat psychosis. Hence, this study investigated the antipsychotic effect of the two plants in ketamine induced psychosis in mice. Pulverised plant samples consisting of Aframomum melegueta seeds and leaves, and stem of Bidens pilosa were macerated in absolute methanol for 72 h. Extracts were evaluated in mice for hyper-locomotion in open field and stereotype behaviour in transparent chamber models. Statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA at p < 0.05. Aframomum melegueta seeds, and B. pilosa leaves at 500 mg/kg and B. pilosastem at 250 mg/kg, decreased hyperactivity in mice, when compared to the negative control group (ketamine only). Furthermore, the highest dose (500 mg/kg) of Aframomum melegueta seeds, B. pilosa leaves and 250 mg/kg of B. pilosastem gave total tranquilising effect at 60 min into the experiment. Findings from this study revealed that seeds of Aframomum melegueta, and the leaves as well as stem of Bidens pilosa possess constituents responsible for the treatment of psychosis. This in turn justifies the traditional use of both plants in the treatment of mental illness. Different ratios of both plants under study may be combined as formulations and tested in future research, as a step towards drug development.

Introducción: la lepra es una patología infectocontagiosa crónica producida en la mayoría de los casos por el bacilo Mycobacterium leprae y en menor porcentaje por el Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Ambos comprometen principalmente la piel, los nervios periféricos y en ocasiones los órganos internos. En 2019 se comunicaron a nivel mundial 10.813 casos de lepra con discapacidad grado 2, la proporción de discapacidad fue del 5,3% de los casos nuevos. A pesar de que la tasa de prevalencia en Argentina y el Chaco es menor al 1 por 100.000 habitantes, es preocupante la discapacidad presente en los nuevos casos detectados, que se estima entre el 10% y el 40%.
Objetivos: describir la discapacidad por lepra y sus factores asociados en la provincia del Chaco entre 2009 y 2019 para identificar los grupos de riesgo e implementar políticas sanitarias más adecuadas.
Materiales y métodos: estudio de cohorte retrospectivo, transversal y correlacional. Se realizó un relevamiento de los pacientes notificados en la provincia del Chaco (Argentina) en el transcurso de 11 años (2009-2019). Las técnicas estadísticas que se utilizaron fueron descriptivas y de verificación de diferencias (media, mediana, rango, porcentaje, prueba t de Student y chi-cuadrado).
Resultados: en total se incluyeron 377 pacientes con lepra en la provincia del Chaco que ingresaron al programa provincial de 2009 a 2019, de los cuales 175 (46,4%) tenían discapacidad y 202 (53,6%) no. De los 175 pacientes con discapacidad, los factores de riesgo con significado estadístico fueron el sexo masculino (65,14% pacientes; p=0,006), y de las manifestaciones clínicas se hallaron formas multibacilares (95,43% pacientes; p=0,0001), lepra borderline (41,95%; p=0,001) y lepra lepromatosa (51,72%; p=0,001). Los pacientes con episodios reaccionales y discapacidad fueron 46,24%, con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p=0,0002).
Conclusiones: los factores que tuvieron significado estadístico de riesgo fueron el sexo masculino, las formas clínicas cargadas de bacilos (lepromatosa, multibacilar, borderline) y la presencia de episodios reaccionales. La información obtenida es muy importante para tomar medidas más eficientes en la problemática y también para futuras investigaciones en factores asociados a la discapacidad en casos de lepra.

Published: November 2024

Cekungan Jawa Timur bagian utara merupakan salah satu cekungan penghasil hidrokarbon di Indonesia dengan lapisan batuan induk yang tebal dan menarik untuk dipelajari sebagai potensi reservoar nonkonvensional di masa mendatang. Integrasi analisis data sumur dan inversi seismik digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik batuan induk dalam penelitian ini. Analisis data sumur dapat memberikan informasi litologi pada formasi pembawa batuan induk hidrokarbon, yaitu serpih Formasi Prupuh, serpih Formasi Kranji, dan batugamping Formasi Ngimbang. Data log juga dapat memberikan informasi prediksi nilai Brittleness Index (BI) dan Total Organic Carbon (TOC) di zona target. Regresi linier digunakan untuk menyebarkan BI, porositas, dan TOC pada data seismik. Untuk membantu proses penyebaran nilai TOC dan BI pada parameter seismik, inversi Acoustic Impedance (AI) dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode model based hard constraint untuk memprediksi distribusi AI. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa zona target merupakan zona potensial dengan kategori menengah hingga potensial dari distribusi TOC 1,5%-2,2%, BI 0,2-0,46, dan porositas 0,03-0,15. Data inversi seismik juga membantu penyebaran parameter petrofisika pada kondisi lateral yang baik mengikuti persebaran horizon batuan induk serpih.
