Unité en diversité juridique au niveau communautaire: promouvoir le français par le droit
Authors: Ciobaca Carmen-Ecaterina 
Published: December 2024

Nuestro estudio se centra en la situación del derecho francés en el mercado jurídico europeo. En primer lugar, destacamos la influencia de la cultura jurídica francesa en el pasado, empezando por el Código Napoleónico. El derecho francés forma parte del derecho continental y comparte principios y valores similares con muchos países europeos. Además, tiene fuertes vínculos con el derecho europeo, manifestados por procedimientos y técnicas comunes, pero también por la migración de conceptos jurídicos específicos. En la parte final del artículo, analizamos las estrategias recomendadas por las autoridades francesas para promover la lengua y el derecho franceses y frustrar, por un lado, la hegemonía del inglés como lengua franca del mundo globalizado y, por otro, la prevalencia del sistema anglosajón, que se ha vuelto cada vez más popular. Valores europeos como el multilingüismo y la diversidad ayudan a promover la lengua y el derecho franceses en el continente.
Our study focuses on the status of French law on the European legal market. First, we emphasize the influence of the French legal culture in the past, starting with the Napoleonian Code. French law is part of continental law and shares similar principles and values with many European countries. Also, it has strong ties with the European law, manifested by common procedures and techniques, but also by the migration of specific legal concepts. In the final part of the paper, we analyze the strategies recommended by French authorities to promote French language and law and to thwart, on one hand, the hegemony of English as the lingua franca of the globalized world, and, on the other hand, the prevalence of the Anglo-Saxon system, which has become increasingly popular. European values such as multilingualism and diversity help to promote French language and law on the continent.
Mandatos de género y consumos de sustancias en contextos de vulnerabilidad social: Una mirada crítica desde la perspectiva de género.
Authors: Di Mare Milagros 
Published: December 2024

Resumen:“Dársela en la pera”, “pasarse”, “estar re loco”, son conceptos asociados al placer cuando se habla del consumo de sustancias de los varones. Pero, ¿qué pasa con las mujeres que consumen? ¿Y qué pasa si esas mujeres se encuentran en situaciones de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica? En este artículo se exponen algunos de los resultados de mi tesina de grado de la Licenciatura en Trabajo Social. El trabajo de campo se desarrolló en el año 2023 en un dispositivo de salud territorial ubicado en el Barrio Ricciardelli de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. El presente trabajo tiene un enfoque cualitativo y para llevarlo adelante se realizaron observaciones y ocho entrevistas semiestructuradas a usuarixs y profesionales del dispositivo. Realizamos una aproximación a los procesos de estigmatización guiados por los mandatos de género que condicionan la vida de mujeres y varones de sectores populares que consumen sustancias psicoactivas en diversos contextos. Reflexionamos desde una perspectiva de género cómo los roles asignados a través de los mandatos de género impactan en las trayectorias de consumo de varones y mujeres. Intentaremos responder algunas preguntas que surgen en el ejercicio de la práctica y también dejaremos algunas preguntas para la reflexión personal.Palabras clave: Consumo problemático de sustancias - Mandatos de género - Vulnerabilidad. Summary“Getting it on,” “getting over the top,” “being crazy,” are concepts associated with pleasure when talking about men’s substance use. But what happens to women who consume? And what happens if these women find themselves in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability? This article presents some of the results of my bachelor’s thesis in Social Work. The field work was carried out in 2023 in a territorial health facility located in the Ricciardelli neighborhood of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. This work has a qualitative approach and to carry it out observations and eight semi-structured interviews were carried out with users and professionals of the device. We make an approach to the stigmatization processes guided by gender mandates that condition the lives of women and men from popular sectors who consume psychoactive substances in various contexts. We reflect from a gender perspective on how the roles assigned through gender mandates impact the consumption trajectories of men and women. We will try to answer some questions that arise in the exercise of practice and we will also leave some questions for personal reflection.Key words: Problematic substance use - Gender mandates - Vulnerability.

Motor competence of children in Singapore using Movement ABC-2 test
Authors: Tan Jernice S.Y. , Chia Michael 
Published: December 2024

Introduction
The Movement Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd Edition (MABC-2) test is a valuable tool for identifying motor delays in children globally. However, there has been a lack of data for children in Singapore.

Methods
This study compared 175 children in Singapore (SG) aged 3–6 years to MABC-2 data based on the United Kingdom (UK) population, using statistical tests to analyze age, country, and gender effects on motor competence.

Results
The results showed a positive age effect across all tasks, with SG children excelling in balance but lagging in aiming and catching tasks compared to UK children. The interaction between age and country yielded mixed results, favoring different groups at various ages. Additionally, girls displayed better manual dexterity and static balance than boys.

Conclusion
Encouraging more physical activities, especially those involving object manipulation, is crucial for SG children. Establishing local norms for the MABC-2 in Singapore and considering country-specific factors in motor competence evaluations can enhance early intervention strategies. These findings emphasize the importance of tailored approaches to address motor skill development in SG children.
A systematic review of depression literacy: Knowledge, help‐seeking and stigmatising attitudes among adolescents

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTIntroductionDepression is a common mental health disorder and affects many adolescents worldwide. Depression literacy can improve mental health outcomes. The aim of this study was to collate and analyse the extant evidence on depression literacy among adolescents, with particular focus on tools used to examine depression literacy and the findings on components of depression literacy.MethodsNine electronic databases and 1 grey literature source were searched for studies published in English between January 2006 and December 2018 and involving adolescents aged 10–19 years. We included studies that reported on components of depression literacy such as knowledge, help‐seeking and stigmatising attitudes. We excluded qualitative studies. Two independent reviewers verified that the studies met the inclusion criteria, assessed the quality of the studies and extracted their characteristics. The data were descriptively analysed and appraised using the Newcastle‐Ottawa Scale (NOS), Cochrane Collaboration's tool and the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies (QATSQ).Results and conclusionFifty of the 14,626 references identified met the inclusion criteria. Depression literacy was most commonly (58%) assessed using tools that utilize a vignette‐based methodology. A lack of uniformity in reporting of depression literacy was noted. Adolescents were poor at recognising depression, likely to seek help from informal sources and tended to attach stigma to depression. The implications of the findings are discussed and suggestions made for future research.

Authors: AlFawaz Tariq , Alzumar Omar , AlShahrani Dayel , Alshehri Mohammed 
Published: June 2019

Introduction:
Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide. It has a spectrum of clinical manifestations. However, SCD is more prone to have invasive infection compared with normal individual, and one of the main pathogen of concern is salmonella, where the individual with SCD is more susceptible to salmonella infection. Furthermore, several distinct clinical syndromes can develop in children infected with salmonella, depending on both host factors and the specific serotype involved

Objectives:
We aim to describe the infection patterns and whole range of potential complications in children with SCD exposed to invasive salmonella infection.

Method:
This is a retrospective observational cohort study which was conducted at King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between 2012 and 2018. All sickle cell patients who are exposed to invasive salmonella infections and treated in our hospital over the last 6 years were included in our study.

Results:
Six patients were enrolled in the study, five males and one female with ratio of (M: F) 5:1, age range from 20 months–14 years, and the diagnosis at admission were as follows: (three as vasooclusive crisis, three as infection) with different kind of infections (three sepsis, three septic arthritis, four osteomyelitis, one meningitis, one myositis, one periorbital cellulitis, one diskitis), where three (50%) suffered multiple sites of infections and the other three (50%) with one site of infection, two (50%) of osteomyelitis patients suffered multifocal infection. Species identification is as follows: (three group D, one group C, and two were not specified), only two occasions where resistant to ciprofloxacin while all others were pan sensitive. Fever was prolonged (take more than seven days to subside even with appropriate therapy and intervention) in five out of six.

Conclusions:
Multiple site of infection, sever osteomylitis, and delay in fever response consolidated the fact of high virulence of salmonella in SCD patients. We did not encounter significant resistant rate to both quinolone and cephalosporin.
Broadband heterodyne detection of terahertz‐waves using rectangular‐waveguide‐input Fermi‐level managed barrier diode module
Authors: Ito H. , Ishibashi T. 
Published: June 2019

A zero‐biased Fermi‐level managed barrier diode that was packaged with a WR‐3 rectangular‐waveguide‐input port was developed. For direct (square‐law) detection operations, the fabricated module exhibited a 3 dB bandwidth covering the whole WR‐3 band. The intermediate frequency bandwidth in heterodyne detection was, therefore, dominated by the bandwidth of the integrated preamplifier, and it was measured to be about 40 GHz. The minimum noise‐equivalent power obtained was as low as 7 × 10−18 W/Hz at around 300 GHz even with a very low local oscillator power of 30 μW.

Published: June 2019

Conflicting results have been published considering the role of head-up tilt test (HUTT) positivity as a prognostic factor in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The relationship between HCM patients' genotype and their HUTT results has not been previously reported.The aim of this study was to evaluate patients with HCM and their HUTT results in regard to its value for outcome prediction and to investigate the relation of patients' genotype and their HUTT results.Seventy-four (51 ± 15 years; 42% women; median follow-up 72 months) HCM patients were divided into two groups based on their HUTT results and were retrospectively analyzed. In 67 (90.5%) subjects included in the analysis, next-generation sequencing-based genomic testing was performed. A composite end point of unexplained syncope, heart failure hospitalization, and death was defined.A total of 14 patients (18.9%) had positive HUTT (HUTT+), whereas 60 (81.1%) had negative HUTT (HUTT–). Except for the New York Heart Association functional class (p = 0.01), both groups had similar characteristics. Positive genotype was evenly distributed between the two groups. Composite end point occurred in 5 patients (35.7%) in HUTT+ group versus 14 (23.3%) patients in HUTT– group (p = 0.33).We did not find a relationship between HUTT results and long-term outcome. We found no association between HUTT results and genotype.

Published: June 2019

AbstractPatients with myocardial infarction (MI) are at increased short-term risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The mechanisms behind this association are unclear. We aimed to investigate the impact of acute MI as a transient risk factor for incident VTE while taking other concomitant VTE risk factors into account. We conducted a case–crossover study of VTE patients (n = 707) recruited from the fourth survey of the Tromsø Study. VTE risk factors and hospitalizations were registered during the 90-day period preceding the VTE diagnosis (hazard period) and in four 90-day control periods. Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for VTE according to acute MI and after adjustment for other risk factors. Additionally, we applied a mediation analysis to quantify how much the known transient risk factors account for the observed effect of MI on VTE risk. MI was recorded in 13 (1.8%) of the hazard periods and in 6 (0.2%) of the control periods, which yielded a crude OR of 11.9 (95% CI: 3.9–36.7). Adjustment for immobilization and infection yielded an OR of 2.7 (95% CI: 0.6–11.2). The OR was attenuated to 2.6 (95% CI: 0.6–11.9) after further adjustment for major surgery, trauma, red blood cell transfusion, and central venous catheterization. Approximately 60% of the association between MI and VTE was mediated through infection and immobilization. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the increased VTE risk after MI may to a large extent be explained by concomitant conditions related to MI, particularly infections and immobilization.
Laboratory Monitoring in Emicizumab-Treated Persons with Hemophilia A

Published: June 2019

AbstractHemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked hereditary bleeding disorder caused by deficiency of coagulation factor (F) VIII activity. One of the greatest complications in the treatment of HA is the development of neutralizing alloantibodies, known as FVIII inhibitors. HA patients who develop FVIII inhibitors have limited treatment options available to them and experience greater disease- and treatment-related burdens than HA patients without FVIII inhibitors. Emicizumab, a recently approved bispecific monoclonal antibody, mimics the function of FVIIIa by bridging FIXa and FX to restore effective hemostasis. Although emicizumab and FVIII show some functional similarities, several key differences influence the results of standard laboratory assays when conducted in the presence of emicizumab, and can result in a misleading interpretation of coagulation assays in emicizumab-treated patients. Here, we discuss current laboratory monitoring methods, including activated partial thromboplastin time, FVIII one-stage clotting assays, FVIII chromogenic assays, and global coagulations assays; address why these conventional methods may be inappropriate for monitoring of HA patients receiving emicizumab; and suggest alternative methods applicable to monitoring HA treatment in an evolving treatment landscape.
Cormac McCarthy, Marilynne Robinson, and the Responsibility to Protect
Authors: Morrison Spencer 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThis essay describes a new context for understanding the political stakes of US fiction described as postsecular—namely, the emergence of global human rights consciousness in the later twentieth century. Placing Americanist literary criticism’s recent “religious turn” in dialogue with the field of literature and human rights yields new insights for each, I argue. To demonstrate the benefits of this critical dialogue, I interpret two major novels studied by the “religious turn”—Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead—in relation to the United Nations’ responsibility to protect doctrine, which has reshaped the concept and practice of humanitarian intervention in the twenty-first century. Each novel dramatizes a dying father’s strained deliberations over the ethics of intervention on behalf of a vulnerable child—the subject whose maturation provides the figural foundation for human rights consciousness—against potentially grave harm. Each, moreover, deploys language and concepts of spiritual ambiguity to illuminate ethical and epistemological dilemmas that beset decisions regarding whether or not to intervene. Locating sacredness in the subject of human rights, McCarthy’s and Robinson’s texts enmesh rights claims and spiritual idioms in ways that suggest new critical paths for both Americanists and scholars of human rights and literature.
