Authors: Arts Sebastian , Delye Hans , van Lindert Erik J. 
Published: November 2017

OBJECTIVETo compare minimally invasive endoscopic and open surgical procedures, to improve informed consent of parents, and to establish a baseline for further targeted improvement of surgical care, this study evaluated the complication rate and blood transfusion rate of craniosynostosis surgery in our department.METHODSA prospective complication registration database that contains a consecutive cohort of all pediatric neurosurgical procedures in the authors’ neurosurgical department was used. All pediatric patients who underwent neurosurgical treatment for craniosynostosis between February 2004 and December 2014 were included. In total, 187 procedures were performed, of which 121 were endoscopically assisted minimally invasive procedures (65%). Ninety-three patients were diagnosed with scaphocephaly, 50 with trigonocephaly, 26 with plagiocephaly, 3 with brachycephaly, 9 with a craniosynostosis syndrome, and 6 patients were suffering from nonsyndromic multisutural craniosynostosis.RESULTSA total of 18 complications occurred in 187 procedures (9.6%, 95% CI 6.2–15), of which 5.3% (n = 10, 95% CI 2.9–10) occurred intraoperatively and 4.2% (n = 8, 95% CI 2.2–8.2) occurred postoperatively. In the open surgical procedure group, 9 complications occurred: 6 intraoperatively and 3 postoperatively. In the endoscopically assisted procedure group, 9 complications occurred: 4 intraoperatively and 5 postoperatively. Blood transfusion was needed in 100% (n = 66) of the open surgical procedures but in only 21% (n = 26, 95% CI 15–30) of the endoscopic procedures. One patient suffered a transfusion reaction, and 6 patients suffered infections, only one of which was a surgical site infection. A dural tear was the most common intraoperative complication that occurred (n = 8), but it never led to postoperative sequelae. Intraoperative bleeding from a sagittal sinus occurred in one patient with only minimal blood loss. There were no deaths, permanent morbidity, or neurological sequelae.CONCLUSIONSComplications during craniosynostosis surgery were relatively few and minor and were without permanent sequelae in open and in minimally invasive procedures. The blood transfusion rate was significantly reduced in endoscopic procedures compared with open procedures.

Published: November 2017

Mechanical rice transplanting is gaining attention to the Bangladeshi farmers. However, service business on mechanical rice seedlings transplanting has not yet been developed due to various reasons. The 4-row walking type transplanter (model DP488) was operated in 54 farmer’s field at Ghaghatpara, Rangpur Sadar and Kaliganjpara, Pairaband, Rangpur in late boro 2016 season to explore the entrepreneurial opportunity of commercial mechanical rice transplanting service for small holder farmer in Bangladesh. The field capacity and field efficiency of rice transplanter was obtained 0.15 ha hr-1 and 75%, respectively. Field capacity depended on the size and shape of the plots. Small plots having less than 250 m2 should be avoided for 4-row walking type rice transplanter to get the good machine performance. Fuel consumption was obtained 4 L ha-1 and varied over plot size, soil settlement time, presence of obstacle, plot to plot travelling distance and operator’s skill. Scattered plots increased travelling distance hence fuel consumption raised and reduced daily area coverage. Soil setting time should be allowed for 12-24 hrs for satisfactory machine performance. Mechanical transplanting took 18 man-hr ha-1 whereas mat loading, machine transport and cleaning took 1.6 man-hr ha-1 labors. Depending on the combination of seedling density in tray and density settings in machine the tray requirement varies from 153 ha-1to 222 ha-1. Tray distribution was observed as 90% in transplanting, 6% in gap filling and 4% pocket area. Gap filling by manual labor required 18-20 man-hr ha-1. Time distribution depended on managerial combination and relation between transplanting team and farmers. Seed rate showed negative correlation with seedlings population in tray and positive correlation with seedlings mortality. Number of turning events in plots can be minimized by selecting larger plot and operating transplanter in length-wise. Increasing daily coverage, minimizing fuel consumption and selection of sensible consumer group can draw good return from marginal input and establish business in secure environment.Progressive Agriculture 28 (3): 230-239, 2017
Le cheminement des controverses dans la globalisation néo-libérale
Authors: Fouilleux Ève , Jobert Bruno 
Published: November 2017

La permanence d’un référentiel de politique publique n’est jamais garantie ; à tout moment il peut être confronté à des interprétations rivales menaçant son hégémonie. L’objet de cet article est de proposer un cadre d’analyse agonistique des politiques publiques, visant à saisir les controverses résultant de ces confrontations. Il pose que leur cheminement est conditionné par le régime de débat de politique publique en place, c’est-à-dire par la configuration et les articulations existantes entre les forums et arènes où se déroule le débat. À partir de ce cadre conceptuel, nous analysons le régime de débat de la globalisation libérale, caractéristique de la période contemporaine, qui promeut et organise une refonte anti-politique des arènes, la transnationalisation des forums de l’expertise et la marchandisation des forums scientifiques. Le régime de la globalisation néo-libérale offre des modalités spécifiques de canalisation des controverses, comme le dépaysement, le déminage discursif, et la concertation excluante, que nous illustrons par divers exemples. La canalisation des controverses permet au référentiel dominant de perdurer en intégrant des thématiques ou des formes institutionnelles nouvelles ; toutefois sous certaines conditions, des mobilisations peuvent déboucher sur des changements de référentiel.
Être dans une administration sans en être
Authors: Lecler Romain 
Published: November 2017

Outre les diplomates de carrière sur lesquels l’essentiel de l’attention des chercheurs s’est portée, le ministère des Affaires étrangères envoie à l’étranger de nombreux autres agents qui ne sont d’ailleurs pas forcément fonctionnaires. C’est le cas des « attachés audiovisuels » étudiés dans cet article. Recrutés au sein du secteur audiovisuel, ils sont censés y retourner au terme de leur contrat. À cheval entre le public et le privé, ils incarnent un cas limite, dans un ministère très peu étudié sous cet angle, d’une « hybridité organisationnelle » qui serait caractéristique des nouveaux « métiers flous » des administrations « post-bureaucratiques ». « Petites mains » d’une diplomatie audiovisuelle au programme flou, ils se distinguent de leurs collègues diplomates par leur statut – fragile, leur spécialité – contestée – et leur carrière – peu codifiée, tout en bénéficiant des fortes rétributions financières et symboliques associées à l’expatriation diplomatique. Leur cas permet ainsi de repérer et d’analyser, à partir d’une catégorie « marginale » dans la diplomatie, de l’hétérogénéité de l’emploi public au sein d’un ministère régalien comme les Affaires étrangères.
L’influence de la culture sur les pratiques de MRH. Étude qualitative
Authors: Ferar Driss 
Published: November 2017

Nous examinons à travers une littérature croisée non exhaustive, si l’influence de la dimension culturelle peut constituer un frein ou un levier de bonnes pratiques de MRH. Afin de cerner cette question problématique, nous avons adopté une méthodologie qualitative basée sur l’entretien semi-directif de quarante-cinq acteurs connaisseurs de la réalité de MRH dans les entreprises marocaines, que nous avons choisies dans divers secteurs d’activités socio-professionnels. Il découle, des résultats des représentations mentales des acteurs interrogés, un nouveau paradigme de gestion culturelle, appelé « révolution culturelle », qui cherche un positionnement entre discours théoriques et pratiques réelles.
Le schisme luthérien de 1883 : orthodoxes contre libéraux
Authors: Vogler Bernard 
Published: November 2017

Une grave crise éclate en 1882-1883 dans le luthéranisme alsacien, à la suite d’un conflit entre libéraux et orthodoxes. Les libéraux détiennent le pouvoir à Strasbourg, où le consistoire supérieur dirigé par Kratz encourage l’élection d’un pasteur libéral dans la paroisse commune des villages de Schillersdorf et Mülhausen. Les deux maires entrent en conflit, car Mühhausen est libéral et Schillersdorf orthodoxe. L’élection d’un nouveau conseiller par les deux villages ensemble aboutit à donner une majorité de trois voix sur cinq aux libéraux dans le conseil presbytéral, qui élit alors un pasteur libéral. Les autorités allemandes auraient voulu créer deux paroisses séparées, mais Kratz s’y oppose. Le schisme éclate alors à Schillersdorf, où une paroisse libre est créée et entraîne d’autres églises libres dans son sillage en Alsace, entre autres à Mulhouse. Il y a toujours deux paroisses luthériennes à Schillersdorf. Les pasteurs luthériens libres ont été en partie formés aux États-Unis par l’Église du Missouri. Aujourd’hui cette Église libre a des lieux de culte en Alsace du Nord, à Paris et en Belgique. (Bernard Vogler).
Raconter l’ivresse à l’époque mamelouke
Authors: Marino Danilo 
Published: November 2017

Dans cet article nous nous demandons à quelle époque et comment le motif de mangeurs de haschich apparaît dans la littérature arabe de la période mamelouke (1250-1517) et comment ce motif se situe par rapport à l’anecdotique arabe classique. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuierons sur un corpus de textes recueillis dans la Rāḥat al‑arwāḥ fī al‑hašīš wa‑l-rāḥ du polygraphe syrien Taqī al‑Dīn Abū al‑Tuqā al‑Badrī (m. 894/1488), la plus complète anthologie d’écrits en prose et en vers inspirés par le haschich.
جريمة اغتصاب النساء في بلاد المغرب
Authors: محمود خالد حسين 
Published: November 2017

The study aims at enlightening the crime of rape in the Maghreb from the Berber Revolution (122 h.) to the Arabs attacks (443 h.). The motives and causes of that crime varied according to the nature of the circumstances that pushed to commit it, and with the perpetrators’ and their victims’ personality; however, these motives show the context of security chaos, political turmoil and military conflicts that overcame Maghreb countries during that period. It was mostly related with the desire of taking vengeance from opponents and rebels, of humiliating them by violating their wives’ sanctity. The study found that rape did not become a ­criminal phenomenon, as the result of the spread of comfort women. It affected so negatively the victims’ psychology, that some of them dared to commit suicide in order to escape from a life of humiliation and scandal. The study establishes also that Maliki jurists were the most comprehensive in qualifying the crime of rape and scrutinizing its signs, the most insistent on the man’s behaviour, emphasising on his role in the event.
Cytokeratin 20/p53 dual immunocytochemistry for improving the diagnostic accuracy of urine liquid-based cytology in the detection of urothelial neoplasm: A retrospective study
Authors: Kim Hyun-Jung , Yoo Ji-Hyeong 
Published: November 2017

Backgrounds:
Dual immunocytochemistry (DIC) with cytokeratin (CK) 20 and p53 in liquid-based cytology is a tool for improving the accuracy of urine cytology (UC). This study was conducted to compare the diagnostic accuracy of UC alone with that of UC combined with CK20/p53 DIC.

Methods:
We retrieved urine samples collected between January 2015 and March 2016 stored in PreservCyt®solution that were from cases categorized as malignant, highly suspicious, suspicious, and atypical and that were matched with a subsequent biopsy. We re-prepared 63 samples of 28 patients for DIC and blindly evaluated 63 pairs of original Papanicolaou smears and DIC.

Results:
Of the 63 samples, 11 could not be analyzed because of the low number of atypical urothelial cells, and the results of the remaining 52 samples were as follows: 34 positive and 18 negative. The positive predictive value of DIC was 100%, and the negative predictive value was 78%. Fifteen DIC-positive cases, histologically proven as malignant were originally diagnosed as highly suspicious (4), suspicious (8), and atypical (3), which were strongly suggestive of “urothelial carcinoma”. Four negative cases, histologically confirmed as non-neoplastic cases, were filtered from false positivity.

Conclusions:
Despite the small sample size, this study demonstrated the diagnostic utility, high sensitivity, and positive predictive value of CK20/p53 DIC, especially in cases with a small number of single malignant cells or cellular clusters of reactive atypical urothelial cells. Thus, CK20/p53 DIC can be used for improving diagnostic accuracy of UC, either as an ancillary method to cytology or as a part of a potential future diagnostic panel to improve patient diagnosis and management.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the cytotoxic and the proliferative effect of cuttlefish bone on MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell line. Materials and Methods: MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with 0.5, 1, 5, 25, 50, 100, or 200 μg/ml cuttlefish bone powder (CBP). Cytotoxicity was evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. This assay was also used to determine cell proliferation over 16 days of treatment with 0.5, 25, or 100 μg/ml CBP. Results: CBP was not cytotoxic to MC3T3-E1 cells at any concentration. The percentage of cell viability in the 0.5–200 μg/ml CBP groups dose dependently decreased from 107.52 ± 11.03 to 92.48 ± 5.60%; however, the differences between the groups or the negative control group were not significant. At 16 days, 0.5, 25, and 100 μg/ml CBP groups showed 123.19 ± 10.07%, 126.02 ± 15.69%, and 133.33 ± 11.74% proliferation, respectively, that were significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusion: These results indicate that CBP promotes osteoblast proliferation and may be a potential material to increase the number of osteoblasts in a bone defect in the oral cavity.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of acetazolamide combined with different agents as intracanal medication in late reimplanted rat teeth. Materials and Methods:In 100 Wistar rats, divided into 5 groups of 20, one of the following medications was used: Acetazolamide liquid (AL); AL with calcium hydroxide powder (ALHC); acetazolamide powder with AL; acetazolamide powder with physiological solution; and calcium hydroxide with physiological solution (control). At 30 and 60 days after reimplantation, the animals were sacrificed, tissues were processed, and cuts were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. An optical microscope was used to determine the following: percentage of inflammatory root resorption (RRI); percentage of substitute root resorption (RRS); and presence of ankylosis. The data obtained was submitted for statistical analysis. Results: Group ALHC had a significantly higher RRS than the control group at 60 days (P = 0.01). Group AL showed significantly less ankylosis than the other groups, including the control, at 30 days. AL showed results similar to those of the control group with respect to RRS. Conclusion:Acetazolamide has the potential to be an effective intracanal medication.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of trained dental professionals and laypersons toward the esthetic impact of variations in the vertical position, width, and gingival height of the maxillary lateral incisor. Materials and Methods: The present study analyzed the perspective of smile photographs by dental professionals such as “fifty orthodontics and fifty general dental practitioners (GDPs)” as well as fifty laypersons, consisting of an equal number of male and female participants. Photographs edited to depict alteration of golden proportion, incisal length, and gingival height of lateral incisor. SPSS software was used to analyze the data and determine the significant difference within all the participants, at 0.05% level (95% confidence interval). Results: There was no significant difference in ranking between the genders. Golden proportion of 62%–67% were ranked the highest by orthodontists, whereas GDPs and laypersons preferred 67%. Regarding gingival display, corrected height of −0.5 and −1 mm received highest ranking from all the three groups. In case of lateral incisal length, −0.5 mm was ranked highest by laypersons, in contrast to −1 mm by orthodontists and GDPs. Conclusion: Specific differences were observed in the ranking of smile esthetics by health-care professionals and laypersons. Golden proportion of 62% and 67% were ranked the highest by orthodontists, whereas GDPs and laypersons preferred 67%. Corrected gingival height of −0.5 and −1 mm received highest ranking from all the three groups. In case of lateral incisal length, −0.5 mm was ranked highest by laypersons, in contrast to −1 mm by orthodontists and GDPs.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the torque and detorque values of screw intermediates of external hexagon, internal hexagon, and Morse taper implants in single restorations before and after mechanical cycling. Materials and Methods: The study sample was divided into three groups (n = 10) as follows: group EH - external hexagon implant, group IH - internal hexagon implant, and group MT - Morse taper implant. Universal abutments were screwed on the implants, and metal crowns were cemented onto the abutment. The samples were submitted to a mechanical testing of 1 million cycles, with a frequency of 8 cycles per second under a 400 N load. The application and registration of the screw torque (T0) and detorque (T1) values of the intermediate were performed before and after the test. The results were statistically evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey′s test (α = 0.05). Results: There was no difference between the values of T0 and T1 in the intra-group samples. However, the inter-group difference in T0 between the EH (12.8 N cm) and MT (18.6 N cm) groups and in T1 between the EH (10.4 N cm) and IH (13.8 N cm), EH and MT (19.4 N cm), and MT and IH (P = 0.001) groups were significant. The MT group showed a lower variation of T0 and T1. Conclusion: The internal implants, particularly MT, showed better stability in these cases when used for single restorations.

ABSTRACT
Objectives: After tooth loss, dimensional alterations on the alveolar bone ridge can occur that can negatively affect the placement of dental implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the synthesis, and mechanical properties of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds coated with bioabsorbable polymers, namely, collagen and poly (D, L-lactic acid) (PDLLA). Materials and Methods: β-TCP powder was obtained by reactive milling and then characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). β-TCP scaffolds were obtained by replica method, in which polyurethane foams are immersed in β-TCP suspension and thereafter submitted to a thermal treatment to remove the polyurethane and sinter the ceramic. Type-I collagen or PDLLA were used to coat the β-TCP scaffolds by dip-coating method. Scaffolds were separated in four groups depending on the coating material: noncoated (Group A), double immersion in collagen (Group B), double immersion in PDLLA (Group C), and ten immersions in PDLLA (Group D). Samples were characterized by compressive tests and SEM/EDS. Data were statistically analyzed through two-way ANOVA (p = 0.05). Results: Chemical and microscopic analyses revealed proper morphology and chemical composition of powder particles and scaffolds with or without polymeric coatings. Scaffolds coated with PDLLA showed higher compressive strength (0.11 ± 0.054 MPa) than those of collagen (0.022 ± 0.012 MPa) or noncoated groups (0.024 ± 0.012 MPa). Conclusions: The coating method of β-TCP with PDLLA revealed a potential strategy to increase the mechanical strength of porous ceramic materials while collagen can enhance cell migration.

Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of agents available in whitening toothpastes (Crest® and Sensodyne®) in vitro on the force decay of elastomeric chains used in orthodontics. Materials and Methods: A total of 300 specimens of elastomeric chains were divided into five groups (n = 60) and were evaluated. These groups included (1) the regular Crest® toothpaste and distilled water solution, (2) whitening Crest® toothpaste and distilled water solution, (3) regular Sensodyne® toothpaste and distilled water solution, (4) whitening Sensodyne® toothpaste and distilled water solution, and (5) distilled water as a control group. The samples' force was measured using Instron at intervals of 0, 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: At the initial time point, the difference in the force values of elastomeric chain between any of the groups was not significant (P > 0.05). On the 1st day, there was a significant difference (P < 0.05) between all groups except the groups of whitening Crest®, regular, and whitening Sensodyne® (P > 0.05). On days 7, 14, and 28, the rate of decline for all groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions: According to the results obtained in the present study, it seems that toothpastes without whitening agents have less effect on force decay of elastomeric chain over time.
