La Corée et le monde francophone : Le patrimoine, les arts et la culture coréenne dans l’espace culturel et scientifique de l’Indochine française
Authors: Paquette Jonathan 
Published: July 2024

La Corée a longtemps été décrite comme un « royaume ermite » par les sociétés occidentales. Cette perception a été entretenue jusqu’au tournant du XXe siècle. Plusieurs transformations politiques ont fait en sorte de remettre en question la politique d’isolement de la Corée. Cet isolement a contribué à éveiller chez les Européens une certaine curiosité pour la Corée. À travers les missionnaires, les expéditions scientifiques, les missions commerciales, les missions géographiques et la littérature, la France a grandement contribué à la connaissance de la Corée dans le monde occidental et par extension, elle a contribué à la production de représentations et d’un discours sur la société et la culture coréenne. Alors que les relations diplomatiques formelles s’établissent entre la France et la Corée en 1876, la France de la IIIe République est aussi une France qui se déploie sur de nouveaux espaces coloniaux. Cet article porte une réflexion sur les marges de la France et en particulier sur l’espace colonial comme espace de production d’une idée de l’Orient. À ce titre, cet article porte un regard sur l’Indochine française et sur sa position – en tant qu’espace colonial, espace marginal de la France – mais aussi en tant qu’espace d’avant-plan et à ce titre d’espace de traduction et de production d’un imaginaire spécifique de l’Orient. En somme, cet article a pour objectif de mettre en relief la contribution de l’Indochine française à la constitution de l’imaginaire culturel de la Corée pour la France et le monde francophone.

Published: July 2024

The application of management has an essential role in increasing the existence of mass media. This study aims to determine the strategic management of online media as a digital communication channel through women's media based on Islamic principles. Along with the development of technology in Indonesia, online media is increasingly being used, leading to competition with one another, including in the women's segment. However, online media in the women and Islam segment still receives less attention, even though it has the same potential as other segments. For this reason, the study of strategic management in women's and Islamic online media has a role in creating an effective and efficient management system structure to achieve mass media goals. Theoretically, this study analyzes the pattern of implementing the Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling (POAC) management functions in online media. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to women's and Islamic online media to determine the management strategy used. Furthermore, this study identifies the factors that influence managing online media through POAC and provides an overview of the management strategies implemented to increase public existence. The results of this study contribute to the development of mass media for online media management, readers, and regulators.

The physicochemical quality of rice is evaluated to ensure that it is fit for consumption and meets established quality standards. This study aims to analyze the physicochemical properties of rice strains resulting from crosses between four high-yielding varieties of rice and two wild rices so that the appropriate genotype is obtained for the development of quality rice. The research was conducted from November 2019 to March 2020 at the Quality Laboratory, Muara Experimental Garden, Rice Research Center, Bogor. The rice genotypes used were 22 strains resulting from crosses between high-yielding varieties of rice (Ciherang, Inpari 13, Inpari 10, and Situ Bagendit), and wild rice (Oryza glaberrima and O. rufipogon), 4 comparison varieties of crossbred elders, and two comparison varieties of organoleptic tests (Memberamo and IR42). Physical and chemical qualities were observed in terms of grain moisture content, grain density, broken skin rice yield, milled rice yield, head rice yield, rice length, rice shape, and rice liming, amylose content, gelatinization temperature, and organoleptic. The results showed that the strains 44-F-C21, 58-F-C21, and 59-F-C21 provided fairly good rice quality with head rice yields above 80% and higher than their respective elders (Situ Bagendit and Ciherang), and water content below 14%. These strains had characteristic characteristics, namely medium rice form, amylose content of 26.38%, and alkali score of 2-3. Most of these genotypes also exhibited high gelatinization temperatures, medium rice texture, and savory rice flavors. The genotype selected from the results of crosses between high-yielding varieties of rice and wild rice has the potential to be developed because there are genetic improvements from its elders on several physicochemical characteristics of rice.

Published: July 2024

Komoditas tanaman pangan merupakan komoditas yang dominan dan dikembangkan secara intensif terutama jagung. Setelah jagung dipanen perlu dilakukan beberapa langkah penanganan salah satunya dengan cara pengupasan kulit dan pemipilan jagung, sebelumnya para petani melakukan proses pengupasan kulit dan pemipilan jagung secara manual yang membutuhkan tenaga kerja dan biaya yang sangat banyak serta waktu yang panjang. Hal ini menyebabkan hasil yang didapat sangat lah sedikit, dan tak jarang banyak jagung yang kualitasnya buruk akibat proses pengolahan yang kurang efektif. Dari masalah yang ada penulis merancang dan membuat kombinasi mesin pengupas dan pemipil jagung. Perancangan alat pengupas dan pemipil jagung menggunakan motor listrik dengan kapasitas 0,5 HP sebagai penggerak. Dari hasil pengujian mesin pengupas dan pemipil jagung uji coba dillakukan sebanyak tiga kali pengujian dengan masa 2 kg, 3 kg, dan 4 kg jagung yang masih utuh dengan kulit. Setelah jagung selesai ditimbang selanjutnya jagung dimasukan ke dalam mesin pengupas dan pemipil jagung dengan perlakuan yang berbeda, yaitu memasukan jagung kedalam mesin satu persatu dengan jeda, memasukan jagung secara satu persatu, dan uji coba ketiga yaitu memasukan jagung secara satu per satu tanpa jeda, sehingga rata-rata waktu yang dihasilkan 1 menit 6 detik dari proses pengupasan dan pemipilan.
Caregivers’ perceptions of and experiences with severe acute malnutrition among children aged 6 to 59 months in the Ari Zone, South Ethiopia: An exploratory-descriptive qualitative study.
Authors: Hareru Tagay Sahelu 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background: Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) threatens millions of lives of children under 5 years old worldwide. People sometimes do not perceive SAM symptoms in children as a problem, and most often, consult traditional health practitioners to solve the situation when it worsens. As studies have shown, there are different factors that hinder service from the context of awareness to practical situations.
Objective: To explore caregivers’ perceptions of and experiences with severe acute malnutrition among children aged 6 to 59 months in the Ari Zone, South Ethiopia, 2023.
Results: The ways in which caregivers manage SAM and its shared challenges were described using four predominant themes, namely, community-related challenges, hygiene and sanitation, food insecurity, and health system-related challenges.
As a result, malnutrition is not well understood by families of children, and traditional practices, especially kella, have predominantly been performed in study areas with paradoxical diagnoses and identical symptoms of SAM. Economic incapability influences tackling SAM in children. The health system has limitations in terms of supplies, service delivery, and professional ethics. These situations need to be improved by working on community awareness and empowerment, strengthening the system and further investigating traditional practices.

Abstract

Substance use disorder (SUD) represents a substantial challenge in neuropsychiatric medicine, with the molecular mechanisms underlying its etiology remaining elusive. The molecular underpinnings of SUD suggest a pivotal role for circular RNAs (circRNAs) in its pathophysiology. Herein, we present a study on circHomer1, a circRNA enriched in neurons, which is abnormal expression upon cocaine exposure. Employing models of repeated cocaine exposure and conditioning place preference (CPP), alongside virus-mediated gene regulation techniques, we revealed the contributory function of circHomer1 in cocaine-induced rewarding effects and synaptic adaptations. We found a notably downregulation of circHomer1 expression in the prelimbic cortex consequent to repeated cocaine exposure in both rat model and patients with cocaine use disorder. Elevation of circHomer1 levels resulted in a pronounced attenuation of cocaine-induced CPP, whereas suppression of circHomer1 expression enhanced the rewarding effects. These outcomes were specifically observed in excitatory neurons, implicating a cell type-specific function of circHomer1. Furthermore, the restoration of circHomer1 rescued the reduction of mushroom-type dendritic spines and rectified deficits in the frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents associated with prolonged cocaine exposure. The modulatory actions of circHomer1 on cocaine-induced behavioral and synaptic responses were mediated by the dopamine receptor D1. Intriguingly, the effects of circHomer1 were selective to psychostimulant drugs, with no influence on food or opioid reward. Our findings highlight the significant role of circHomer1 in regulating psychostimulants reward and identify a novel molecular regulator of the actions of psychostimulants on the brain’s reward circuitry, providing a new strategy for treating drug addiction.
Flute-like marks at the base of Plinian pumice-fall deposits at Ohachidaira caldera, Hokkaido, Japan
Authors: Yasuda Yuki , Maeno Fukashi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

We describe flute-like marks at the boundary between the sub-Plinian and overlying Plinian units of the 34 ka eruption at the Ohachidaira caldera and discuss their formation mechanisms. These scours are observed at a proximal section ~ 1.8 km from the caldera center (~ 0.9 km from the rim) and show asymmetric cross-sectional shapes that closely resemble flute marks typically found in subaqueous sedimentary rocks; they cut into underlying strata of the immediately preceding sub-Plinian fallout deposits and are filled with pumice lapilli of the Plinian phase. Another characteristic erosional feature is shear deformation of the top ash layer of the sub-Plinian deposits; this ash layer is locally bent, folded, split, or fragmented. These erosional features appear to be coeval with the basal part of the Plinian unit. We interpret these features, based upon their field characteristics, to have been formed by dilute turbulent pyroclastic currents that occurred at the beginning of the Plinian phase. Observations allow the estimation of timescales for formation of the flute-like marks to be at ~ 0.5–5 min, which is rarely obtained from flute marks in sedimentary rocks. The only deposit left by the erosive currents is a thin fine ash lens that occurs at the bases of the flute-like marks, and no pyroclastic current deposits or erosional features were observed at the base of the Plinian sequence beyond 1 km from the caldera rim, suggesting short runout distances of the dilute pyroclastic currents; such small currents might have resulted from a local collapse along the margin of the Plinian column.

Abstract

Accelerated warming has been reported in the Arctic in recent years. Climate change forcing has been detected in many aspects of high-latitude ecosystem ecology. Given previous reports of shifts within the Arctic benthos, we anticipated changes when revisiting the structure of epibenthic assemblages colonising the shallow subtidal zone in Svalbard’s largest sill-less fjord, Isfjorden. To investigate that, experimental constructions holding replicate settlement plates (artificial substrata) were set up at two stations on the rocky bottom of southern Isfjorden in the summer of 2004 and were retrieved after a year of immersion. The same procedure was conducted again after 15 years, in summer 2019. The comparison of the samples from those two periods showed significant differences in assemblage structure. The most substantial change observed was a shift in species dominance suggesting a reorganisation of the assemblage. Most notable was a difference in the abundance of the typically Arctic bryozoan Harmeria scutulata (from 100 to 0 ind. per 100 cm2 between 2005 and 2020), which before 2004 was found to account for more than 50% of bryozoan individuals encrusting stones around Svalbard. The overall taxonomic composition was, however, representative of West Spitsbergen. The Arctic, particularly the Eurasia sector, has been under sustained climate change forcing long prior to the establishment of our field experiment, thus even the 2005 results may showcase an epibenthic assemblage in an already altered state. We think this emphasises how important robust baseline data are to provide crucial reference points to measure and understand change.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Accurate triage is required for efficient allocation of resources and to decrease patients’ length of stay. Triage decisions are often subjective and vary by provider, leading to patients being over-triaged or under-triaged. This study developed machine learning models that incorporated natural language processing to predict patient disposition. The models were assessed by comparing their performance with the judgements of emergency physicians (EPs).
METHOD:
This retrospective study obtained data from patients visiting EDs between January 2018 and December 2019. Internal validation data came from China Medical University Hospital (CMUH), while external validation data were obtained from Asia University Hospital (AUH). Nontrauma patients aged ≥ 20 years were included. The models were trained using structured data and unstructured data (free-text notes). The primary outcome was death in the ED or admission to the intensive care unit, and the secondary outcome was either admission to a general ward or transferal to another hospital. Six machine learning models (CatBoost, light gradient boosting machine, logistic regression, random forest classifier, extremely randomized trees, and gradient boosting models) and one logistic regression model were developed and evaluated using EPs' predictions as reference.
RESULT:
A total of 168,235 and 27,645 patients were enrolled from CMUH and AUH, respectively. EPs achieved AUC values of 0.752 and 0.659 for the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. Among the machine learning models, CatBoost exhibited the highest AUCs (0.935 for primary outcome and 0.857 for secondary outcome) and F1 scores (0.488 for primary outcome and 0.610 for secondary outcome). In external validation, gradient boosting achieved the highest AUC (0.933) for the primary outcome, while light gradient boosting machine achieved the highest AUC (0.817) for the secondary outcome.
CONCLUSION:
The machine learning models outperformed the reference model in predicting clinical outcomes. Integrating these models into triage systems may enhance triage processes and resource allocation.
A randomized controlled trial of a self-guided mobile app targeting repetitive negative thought to prevent depression in university students: study protocol of the Nurture-U Reducing Worry prevention trial
Authors: Watkins ER , Phillips D , Cranston T , Chouieri H , Newton M , Cook H , Taylor G 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
Tackling poor mental health in university students has been identified as a priority in higher education. However, there are few evidence-based prevention initiatives designed for students. Repetitive Negative Thought (RNT, e.g. worry, rumination) is elevated in university students and is a well-established vulnerability factor for anxiety and depression. Furthermore, there are now evidence-based cognitive-behavioural interventions to tackle RNT. A mobile self-help cognitive-behavioural app targeting RNT, adapted for students may therefore be an effective, scalable, and acceptable way to improve prevention in students.
Methods
An online single blind, two-arm parallel-group Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) to examine the incidence of major depression and symptoms of anxiety and depression across 12 months in university students aged over 16 who screen into the study with self-reported high levels of worry and/or rumination and no current diagnosis of major depression. Eligible participants will be randomised to the active intervention arm (usual practice plus using a self-guided mobile app targeting RNT) or to the control arm (usual practice). In total, 648 participants aged over 16, with no current major depression, bipolar disorder or psychosis will be recruited from UK universities. Assessments will take place at baseline (pre-randomisation), 3 months and 12 months post- randomisation. Primary endpoint and outcome is incidence of major depression as determined by self-reported diagnostic criteria at 12-month follow-up. Depressive symptoms, anxiety, well-being, health-related quality of life, functioning and academic outcomes are secondary outcomes. Compliance, adverse events, and potentially mediating variables will be carefully monitored.
Discussion
The trial aims to provide a better understanding of the causal role of tackling RNT (worry, rumination) using a self-help mobile app with respect to preventing depression in university students. This knowledge will be used to develop and disseminate innovative evidence-based, feasible, and effective mobile-health public health strategies for preventing common mental health problems.

Authors: Ishiwari Mayuko , Kono Yuta , Togashi Yuki , Kobayashi Kenichi , Kikuchi Ryota , Kogami Mariko , Suekawa Ami , Miyazawa Yasushi , Abe Shinji 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
Studies of nutritional status in geriatric patients with respiratory diseases are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the mortality risk of older patients undergoing urgent hospitalization for various respiratory diseases.
Methods
This was a retrospective study of patients aged ≥ 65 years with respiratory diseases who were urgently hospitalized between April 2022 and March 2024. The Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) was evaluated at the time of urgent admission, and the risk of malnutritional status was defined by the MNA-SF score of 0–10. Biomarkers of inflammation and acute respiratory failure such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), ROX index, and the pulse oximetric saturation (SpO2)/ fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) [S/F] ratio were calculated and analyzed as risk factors of in-hospital mortality.
Results
A total of 99 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study with median age of 78 (IQR: 73–85) years. Twenty-six patients (26.3%) died during hospitalization, and the mean period until death was 19 (IQR: 11–37) days. Univariate analysis demonstrated that older age (> 79), low S/F ratio (< 315), low ROX (< 8.3), low NLR (< 7.7) and low MNA-SF (< 11) were associated with in-hospital mortality, multivariate analysis revealed that older age and low MNA-SF were independent predictors.
Conclusions
MNA-SF is a mortality risk factor in older patients undergoing urgent hospitalization for various respiratory diseases.

Authors: Yoon Sang-woo , Kim Suhn-yeop 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a neuromuscular control exercise program for knee joint using non-elastic taping on pain, functional disability, quality of life, balance ability, thickness, and contraction ratio of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL), and vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) muscles in adults aged 65 years and older with knee osteoarthritis.
Objects: A total of 46 elderly individuals aged 65 years and older with knee osteoarthritis participated in the study. Using a randomization process, participants were allocated into an experimental group (n=23) and a control group (n=23). Both groups underwent a knee joint neuromuscular control exercise program. In addition, the experimental group received a non-elastic taping application, while the control group received sham taping. All interventions were conducted for approximately 30 minutes per session, three times a week, for a total of four weeks. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Korean version of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (K-WOMAC), Euro Quality of Life 5 Dimension (EQ-5D), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), muscle thickness, and contraction ratio were measured before and after the intervention to compare the effects.
Results: Both groups showed significant differences in VAS, K-WOMAC, EQ-5D, BBS, muscle thickness, and contraction ratio before and after intervention (p<0.05). In addition, the experimental group showed more significant differences in the amount of change in K-WOMAC stiffness, K-WOMAC function, EQ-5D, BBS, muscle thickness, and contraction ratio values than the control group.
Conclusion: A neuromuscular control exercise program using non-elastic taping for knee joints is an effective intervention method for improving knee joint pain, function, quality of life, balance ability, muscle thickness and contraction ratio in elderly patients aged 65 years, and older with knee osteoarthritis.
