L’« hyper-ritualisation » en images. Photographie, publicité et féminisme à la lumière de Gender Advertisements d’Erving Goffman
Authors: Grosjean Damiens 
Published: October 2024

Dans Gender Advertisements (1979), son unique ouvrage comportant des illustrations, le sociologue Erving Goffman publie une analyse novatrice des postures corporelles dans une perspective de genre, en se fondant sur le concept inédit d’« hyper-ritualisation » : celui-ci promeut le recours à des images publicitaires, pour révéler, via des mises en scène exagérées, la codification des gestes quotidiens. Par là même, Goffman adapte à un nouveau contexte une tradition anthropologique qui remonte à Balinese Character (1942) de Gregory Bateson et Margaret Mead, consacrée à l’étude visuelle des comportements. En cela, Goffman s’oppose à l’approche, incarnée notamment par Ways of Seeing (1972) de John Berger, qui attribue à la publicité le pouvoir de construire un imaginaire « mystificateur ». On observe parallèlement une résonance de ces interrogations chez de nombreux artistes ; l’analyse des clichés de genre dans la publicité ou au cinéma, chez Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman ou Robert Heinecken, ou celle des postures corporelles chez la plasticienne féministe Marianne Wex, constituent un ressort critique central dans la production photographique de cette époque.
L’image de compagnie. Le bien‑être animal dans le portrait photographique d’enfant au XIXe siècle
Authors: Lavoie Vincent 
Published: October 2024

Dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, à la faveur de l’émergence aux États-Unis et au Canada des sociétés de protection des animaux, la culture visuelle devient le vecteur de nouveaux discours de bienveillance envers les bêtes. Les périodiques illustrés (Our Dumb Animals, Humane Journal, etc.) publiés par ces sociétés abondent alors en images d’enfants caressant des animaux de compagnie. Plus que les adultes, les enfants s’imposent à l’époque comme les ambassadeurs des ambitions réformatrices des organismes dédiés à la promotion du bien-être animal. Les préceptes éthiques de cette iconographie du bon sentiment percolent dans les portraits photographiques au chien, notamment ceux réalisés par le Canadien William Notman. Cet article entend interroger les registres affectifs convoqués par la photographie dans sa mise en scène des rapports interspécifiques, cela en exposant les mécanismes et les limites de cette pédagogie visuelle de la sollicitude.
Pouvoir, domination et hiérarchie dans les organisations autogérées : des phénomènes riches d’enseignements pour un management éthique
Authors: Canivenc Suzy 
Published: October 2024

Face aux discours incantatoires mais flous sur un nouveau rôle managérial qui se présente comme plus éthique, en incitant à développer des pratiques plus horizontales et « humaines » à l’encontre de la hiérarchie et de l’autoritarisme traditionnels, cet article propose de faire un double pas de côté : 1) en délaissant cette éthique « prescriptive » (qui édicte ce qui doit être en distinguant le bien du mal) au profit d’une éthique « descriptive » (confrontant les principes moraux idéaux à la réalité des pratiques) ; 2) en s’intéressant aux organisations autogérées, qui expérimentent le principe de « solidarité égalitaire » au cœur de la « morale anarchiste » en cherchant à fonctionner sans hiérarchie et hors de toute relation de pouvoir et de domination. Ces organisations atypiques sont ici considérées comme un miroir grossissant ayant valeur de test pour mettre à l’épreuve les idéaux affichés par les discours contemporains.Si les quatre organisations autogérées étudiées dans cet article peinent à s’abstraire de toute forme de pouvoir, de domination et de hiérarchie, elles permettent cependant de renouveler la façon avec laquelle nous envisageons ces phénomènes en entreprise : la domination y est acceptée car considérée comme légitime à certaines conditions ; le pouvoir devient distribué et participatif ; la hiérarchie y est plurielle et mobile. Autant de pistes concrètes pour éclairer ce que pourrait être un management éthique, pistes qui restent cependant peu exploitées par les organisations et les autogestionnaires eux-mêmes.
Una oración hebrea de alabanza general
Authors: Véliz Catalán Néstor 
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo é desenvolvida uma abordagem, a partir da análise estrutural e da análise do imaginário religioso do Pérek Shirá ou "Canção da Criação". Uma das principais ênfases é revelar seu humor e estrutura, bem como os principais temas doseus seis capítulos ou subdivisões. Da mesma forma, trata‑se de encontrar a forma como os elogios que o editor ou editores sistematizadas em seu texto, correspondem a uma tendência geral no contexto da Tefilah ou orações hebraicas. Seguindo comuma orientação analítica, procuramos encontrar a forma como a oração, como discurso, revela uma orientação panteísta oude reconhecimento da onipresença da presença Divina, o que leva a verificar se esta tem paralelos com outras tradições, como o franciscano, com o “Cântico ao Irmão Sol” ou “Cântico das Criaturas” ou a gratidão que David reflete no Salmo 148 entre suas outras criações. Por fim, estabelece‑se como um aspecto abrangente relevante para estabelecer diferenças entre o Tefilah hebraica e orações cristãs, o que leva a aprofundar o significado profundo subjacente às linhas do Perek Shirá.
“You shall surely die”. Elijah Montalto’s Tratado and the Critique of Original Sin
Authors: Testa Francesco 
Published: October 2024

This essay focuses on Elijah Montalto’s critique of original sin, as articulated in his anti-Christian work Tratado sobre o capitulo 53 de Isaias. The aim of this paper is to investigate the argumentative strategy employed by Montalto against the Christian doctrine of Adam’s Fall, which will be referred to as the “philological argument”. The analysis begins with an examination of the translation of Gen 2:17 (“but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die”) in Jerome’s Vulgate and its reception by Augustine. Following this, the focus shifts to Montalto’s exegesis of the same verse and his use of the Ferrara Bible to contest the Christian interpretation of the Gan Eden narrative. Finally, the discussion will address Montalto’s employment of the medical concept of radical moisture to explore Adam’s prelapsarian condition. By analyzing Montalto’s arguments, this essay seeks to demonstrate that the notion of mors duplex – encompassing both physical and spiritual death –, which Christians associate with Gen 2:17, is not explicitly articulated within the verse itself.
Bioaccumulation and health risks of chromium and cadmium in <em>Basella alba</em> with emphasis on Urea, muriate of potash and triple super phosphate mixtures
Authors: Amarasena M. D. M. C. K. , Wijeyaratne W. M. D. N. 
Published: October 2024

Basella alba is a commonly consumed green leafy vegetable in South Asian countries and it is considered as an economical source of essential vitamins and dietary fibers. Urea, muriate of potash (MOP) and triple super phosphate (TSP) mixture is the most commonly used inexpensive fertilizer mixture in the commercial cultivation of B. alba. This study was conducted to assess the effect of using a mixture of Urea-MOP-TSP on the bioaccumulation potential of cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) by the leaves of B. alba. Pots treated with the Urea-MOP-TSP mixture and compost were maintained in a greenhouse with controlled light and temperature settings. The concentrations of Cd and Cr in the root zone soil, roots and leaves of B. alba were analyzed using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer after acid digestion. The health risk of consuming B. alba was evaluated using the daily intake of metals, health risk index and cancer risk index. The results showed that Cd and Cr can bioaccumulate in the leaves of B. alba. The bioaccumulation potential of Cr was higher than that of Cd. Although the daily intake of Cd and Cr from B. alba were below the maximum values stipulated by the WHO, the cancer risk index indicated potential cancer risks based on Cd intake due to consumption of B. alba cultivated using the Urea-MOP-TSP mixture. Furthermore, the health risks associated with the hyper-accumulation of Cd and Cr in the edible parts of B. alba cultivated using compost were significantly less compared to that of the plants treated with the Urea-MOP-TSP mixture. Therefore, if B. alba is cultivated using chemical fertilizer, it is recommended to regularly monitor the concentrations of Cd and Cr in the cultivation soil, chemical fertilizer and in the edible parts of B. alba to prevent the excessive buildup of Cd and Cr along the food chain. In addition, it is recommended to identify the potential microbial assemblages that can be inoculated to the cultivation soil to reduce the bioavailability of Cd and Cr.
A comparative of theosophical sufism in Syarah al-Hikam by Sholeh Darat and ‘Abdullah Gangohi
Authors: Anis Muhammad Yunus , Arifuddin Arifuddin 
Published: October 2024

This study elaborated on the explanation of theosophical Sufism in the book of al-Hikam by two well-known Islamic academics, Kyai Sholeh Darat (Indonesia) and Shaykh ‘Abdullah Gangohi (India). The data in this study are the text of Syarah al-Hikam, written by Kyai Sholeh Darat and the text of Syarah Al-Hikam in the perspective of Shaykh ‘Abdullah Gangohi. This qualitative research study used a Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) approach from M.A.K. Halliday. Data analysis in this research applied the Spradley model, namely: (1) domain analysis, (2) taxonomy analysis, (3) componential analysis and (4) analysis of cultural themes. The domain analysis tried to map the information structure in the explanation of al-Hikam based on the theory of SFL. This information structure is the basis for the genre analysis as a semiotic representation of social society. Meanwhile, the taxonomic analysis tried to elaborate on the Sufism thoughts of both the thinkers based on the Syarah al-Hikam text. Componential analysis synergised the results of the information structure and the theosophical Sufism thought in al-Hikam. Finally, the analysis of cultural themes endeavoured to elaborate on the theosophical Sufism thoughts of the two Sufism thinkers and to draw the relationships and the contributions to the universal Sufism. The conditions of theosophical Sufism can be elaborated based on the information structure. The limitation of this study is the lack of researcher’s efforts to investigate the substance of theosophical Sufism, because this research is only limited to the outer layer of language.Contribution: This article shows that the thought of theosophical Sufism showed that Islam in Southeast Asia is Islam that carries the spirit of Islam Rahmatan lil-alamin. In addition, the thought of theosophical Sufism in Syarah al-Hikam has had an impact on the socio-cultural transformation, especially on the Sufism movement [thariqah] spread across Indonesia and India.

Published: October 2024

Background and Objectives:
Cervical flexion-induced myelopathy, also known as Hirayama disease (HD), is a lower motor neuron disorder seen mainly in adolescents and young adults, affecting the C7–T1 myotomes, presenting as asymmetric weakness with wasting of one or both the distal upper limbs. We aimed to describe the clinical features, electrophysiology, and radiologic features of HD in a tertiary care institute in northern India.

Methods:
One hundred and forty patients between 2017 and 2022 with clinical and imaging features consistent with HD were retrospectively reviewed from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences-Comprehensive Neuromuscular Diseases center database.

Results:
Majority were males with the mean age of onset of illness being 17.8 years. The median duration of the symptoms was 3 (1.5–4) years. Sixty-nine (49%) patients had unilateral involvement, and the disease was actively progressing in 88 (63%) patients at presentation. Two families had history of HD in two (1.4%) siblings. Electromyography showed abnormal findings in the clinically involved limb in all the patients and in the clinically uninvolved limb in 17/50 (34%) patients. Flexion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated forward dural displacement in 134 (96%) patients and asymmetric cord flattening in 124 (88.5%) patients. Disability was graded as mild, moderate, and severe; 12 (13%) had severe disability. The majority were managed conservatively, and four underwent surgery for HD.

Conclusion:
A high index of suspicion of HD needs to be kept in a young male presenting with distal upper limb weakness and atrophy. Dynamic MRI of the cervical spine in young adults presenting with hand wasting is inevitable. This disease needs to be managed aggressively and early to prevent serious dysfunction and loss of productivity.
Effectiveness of Home-Based Self-monitoring of Blood Pressure in a Primary Care set-up of India (EASE-BP): Protocol for an Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Bhatia Rohit , Haldar Partha , Longkumer Imnameren , Srivastava Madakasira Vasantha Padma , Misra Puneet , Sharma Gautam , Singh Mamta Bhushan , Kumar Rakesh , Salve Harshal Ramesh 
Published: October 2024

Background and Objectives:
Rising hypertension from inadequate detection, noncompliance with treatment, and poor control presents a major public health challenge. Previously, adopting the strategy of self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) showed better hypertension detection, control, and medication adherence. However, evidence from India is scarce. Here, we present the trial protocol for the effectiveness of SMBP intervention in hypertension detection, blood pressure (BP) control, and medication adherence in a primary care set-up.

Methods:
EASE-BP is an open-label randomized trial in two distinct adult populations – part-A self-reported non-hypertensive population (total sample size: 400) and part-B known hypertensive population (total sample size: 332). The two populations will be sampled from two separate villages under the Ballabgarh Health and Demographic Surveillance System. In both the populations, participants randomized in the intervention arm will receive a validated electronic BP device and will be advised to self-monitor BP for at least twice a month (or more). Those in the control arm will be advised to monitor BP for at least twice a month (or more) at the nearby health center. Participants in both arms will receive education on hypertension and atherosclerotic disease. In addition, adult family members in the households of randomized participants will be encouraged to monitor their BP. All participants and family members will be instructed to maintain a log of BP recordings in a diary that will be provided to them. Data will be collected at baseline and then every month for three-months. The primary outcome in part-A will be the incidence of new cases of hypertension during 3 months follow-up and in part-B will be the difference in SBP and rate of medication adherence at 3 months follow-up. Secondary outcomes will include (1) uptake of the intervention, (2) any stroke, myocardial infarction, or death, (3) additional yield of new cases of hypertension among the family members, and (4) integrating the intervention into the national programs for long-term noncommunicable disease goals.

Conclusion:
EASE-BP will help understand if SMBP improves hypertension detection, BP control, and medication adherence. Consequently, this will appraise policymakers on whether provision of BP instruments may be added to the national program for hypertension prevention and control.

Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of tribulus terrestris methanolic extract against Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus: An in vitro study
Authors: Azarm Ali , Ayoobi Fatemeh , Zare-Bidaki Mohammad , Taheri Mohammad , Zarandi Ebrahim Rezazadeh 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Tribulus terrestris (TT) extract has shown good antibacterial activity against some bacteria. However, there are limited data on its cariogenic properties. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of TT extract against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), Streptococcus sobrinus (S. sorbinus), and Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) as the important cariogenic bacteria.

Materials and Methods:
This study was designed in an experimental model (in vitro). Phytochemical tests were carried out to detect herbal compounds in the TT extract. Agar well diffusion was performed to compare the extract (500–62.5 mg/mL) with different concentrations of chlorhexidine (2–0.25 mg/mL). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the TT extract and chlorhexidine were also determined. The lowest concentration showing ≥50% inhibition of biofilm formation (MBIC50) was determined using crystal violet assay. Further, the time-kill assay (Log of CFU/mL) was performed, and acid production (pH) was measured at 1 × MIC concentration in 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h. Data analysis conducted using SPSS software (v26, IBM) involved One-way analysis of variance, Tukey post hoc tests, and t-test to compare concentrations and groups. Significance level is set at 0.05.

Results:
The TT extract mostly consisted of flavonoids. Its inhibition zones in the well diffusion test were statistically comparable with chlorhexidine in some concentrations (P > 0.05). The MIC of the TT extract was 15.625 mg/mL for all tested bacteria, whereas the MBC ranged from 31.25 to 62.5 mg/mL. Further, the MBIC50 ranged from 7.8125 to 15.625 mg/mL for the extract. Time-kill assay showed that the bactericidal activity of the TT extract lasted for 8, 12, and 2 h for S. mutans, S. sobrinus, and L. acidophilus, respectively. The acid production decreased obviously after 8 h.

Conclusion:
The TT extract showed good time-dependent antibacterial and antibiofilm activity, as well as acid production inhibition, against cariogenic bacteria in laboratory experiments.

Authors: Saeki Shinichiro , Fukui Atsushi , Yamaya Ayano , Shibahara Hiroaki 
Published: October 2024

Objectives:
The objective of this study was to investigate the safety and utility of hybrid uterine septal resection.

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective cohort trial included 16 patients who underwent hybrid uterine septal resection at Hyogo Medical University Hospital between January 2017 and September 2021. Hysteroscopic uterine septum resection was performed in 16 patients, whereas 5 patients with vaginal septal complications underwent an additional vaginal septectomy under supervision by thin laparoscopy and fluoroscopy. The main outcome measures were pregnancy success rate and procedure safety.

Results:
The results showed that the median operative time was 77 (46–114) min, and no cases of intraoperative or postoperative adverse events were identified. The postoperative pregnancy rate was 100.0% (7/7) and the live birth rate was 71% (5/7) in women with recurrent pregnancy loss. Among women with infertility, the postoperative pregnancy rate was 55.5% (5/9), and the live birth rate was 20% (1/5).

Conclusion:
These findings indicate that our hybrid septal resection technique reduces patient burden and ensures safe and reliable surgery, with good results in terms of postoperative complications, pregnancy, and miscarriage rates.

Published: October 2024

Objectives:
Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is a procedure with a high rate of postoperative adhesions, which can lead to complications such as bowel obstruction and subsequent surgical problems, making anti-adhesion measures important. Various anti-adhesion materials are already on the market and have shown efficacy, but dextrin hydrogel spray (AdSpray™), an anti-adhesion material launched in 2017, has not yet been reported in the field of gynecology, although there are papers showing its usefulness in the surgical field such as repeat hepatectomy and ileostomy closure. Thereby, we investigated the postoperative status of AdSpray™ in LM.

Materials and Methods:
We report 24 cases in which AdSpray™ was used at Teine Keijinkai Hospital from 2018 to 2021 for LM, followed by cesarean section (CS) from 2019 to 2022. Adverse effects related to AdSpray™ and the presence of uterine adhesions in CS were examined.

Results:
Adhesions were observed in 4 (16.7%) cases, none of which resulted in significant adverse effects of AdSpray™.

Conclusion:
AdSpray™ was effective in preventing adhesion and may be an option as an anti-adhesion material in LM.
A novel case of Takenouchi-Kosaki syndrome: Focus on hearing and language rehabilitation
Authors: Caragli Valeria , Genovese Elisabetta , Parretta Sara , Pellegrino Michele , Ciorba Andrea 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Takenouchi-Kosaki syndrome (TKS) is a rare congenital condition, caused by a mutation in the cell division cycle 42 gene. This gene typo impacts various physiological processes, including hearing, hematopoiesis, immunologic functioning, and neurodevelopment. Despite the high prevalence of hearing impairment in TKS, existing literature has concentrated primarily on pharmacological treatments for hematoimmunologic diseases. This case report presents a novel case of TKS, highlighting the importance of audiological assessment and rehabilitating interventions in children with TKS. We discuss the case of a prematurely born boy who was diagnosed with TKS and who presented with profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and associated developmental delays. Following comprehensive audiological evaluation and intervention – including hearing aids, sign language, and alternative augmentative communication systems – a multidisciplinary approach was adopted to enhance his communicative abilities. From this study, it emerges the increasing need for tailored rehabilitation strategies for TKS patients to improve communication skills and overall quality of life. Further researches are needed to develop standardized protocols for assessment and treatment in patients with TKS.
