La valeur parenthétique de la musique au cinéma : fondements musicologiques et picturaux
Authors: Adobati Mario 
Published: July 2024

À plus d’un titre, la séquence d’ouverture des Harmonies Werckmeister (2001, Tarr Béla, Hongrie) se présente comme la synthèse des multiples problématiques qui irriguent le travail du cinéaste et de ses collaborateurs récurrents. Un facteur illuminé fait jouer à un groupe d’hommes ivres une éclipse du Soleil. Cependant, alors que la représentation de Valuska fait disparaître la lumière du soleil derrière la lune, une musique extra-diégétique résonne et la caméra entame un travelling arrière ascendant, élevant le cadre jusqu’à l’irradier de lumière derrière la vieille ampoule nue du bar. Cette association synesthésique de la musique et de la lumière, de l’immobilité des corps et de la mobilité du cadre, est une invitation à penser ce qui constitue, au plus profond, la « valeur parenthétique de la musique » (M. Chion) et le registre iconique de l’image au cinéma, soit la façon dont ce dernier puise dans les propriétés ontologiques de la musique (structure, harmonie, instrumentation) et de la peinture (motifs de l’Incarnation et de l’Ascension, ordre du visuel de l’image) pour signifier l’altérité absolue, la sortie hors du temps cinématographique et de sa diégèse : « lorsque s’avance la matière de la représentation, tout le représenté est en risque d’écroulement » (Didi-Huberman).
Du rythme visuel au « rythme spatial du visible » : pour une musicalité spécifique au cinéma
Authors: Gaudin Antoine 
Published: July 2024

Cet article commence par préciser la portée sémantique de la notion de rythme, et par dresser un bref panorama de ses occurrences dans les discours esthétiques sur le cinéma – que ces derniers émanent de réalisateurs ou de critiques/théoriciens. Cela permet de souligner la grande diversité des acceptions qu’a prise cette notion, en lien avec les contextes historico-culturels qui encadraient ses formulations respectives.Une attention particulière est portée à la contribution décisive que livre Jean Mitry, dans son ouvrage Esthétique et psychologique du cinéma (1965). Anticipant le mouvement de redécouverte du rhuthmos héraclitéen, Mitry tente de dégager le « rythme visuel » de ses analogies métriques « platoniciennes » (comme production d’équivalents visuels aux rythmes-cadences de la musique, conception particulièrement en vogue dans les années 1920, dont il souligne l’incohérence en termes ontologiques et psycho-perceptifs) pour le penser comme l’organisation, par le montage, d’un flux inscrit dans le mouvement global du monde visible à l’écran. L’enjeu pour Mitry est en fait de réfléchir à une conception du rythme cinématographique qui en ferait un « pouvoir signifiant principal », le principe primordial de l’organisation de la « vie des formes » cinématographiques.Cette conception dynamique et cosmogonique du rythme sous-tend notre approche de l’espace cinématographique, non comme un cadre stable et figé, mais comme une substance en évolution perpétuelle, un matériau intrinsèquement mobile de la composition, engageant le corps spectatoriel dans une épreuve essentielle du mouvant. Ce que nous appelons « rythme spatial du visible » n’est donc pas un équivalent pour la vue du rythme-cadence de la musique, mais un ressenti du mouvement dans la forme : un flux de contractions et de dilatations affectant les volumes de plein et de vide au sein du défilement continu des images.Ce lien intrinsèque entre le rythme et l’espace nous conduit à retrouver la « musicalité », non comme transposition pour l’œil des principes de composition musicale, mais comme puissance d’abstraction nichée au principe même du cinéma (et compatible avec la nature narrative et figurative de ses images) : une musicalité spécifique au cinéma, en somme, plutôt qu’un simple jeu de correspondances ou qu’une importation des procédés de composition de la musique au sein de ce dernier ; une musicalité qui, à rebours de toute référence picturale statique, nous invite à retourner à la source rythmique de notre expérience spatiale du monde courant.
Créations ciné-lyriques de l’entre-deux-guerres
Authors: Sergent Marion 
Published: July 2024

Durant l’entre-deux-guerres, le public parisien pouvait découvrir des spectacles entremêlant cinéma et opéra. Si le Gaumont-Palace inaugure en 1921 un type de créations mélangeant les deux formes avec Les Valses de l’Amour et de la Mort de Jean Nouguès, l’Opéra de Paris n’est pas en reste qui déjà à la fin du xixe siècle utilisait les lanternes magiques. Après une collaboration avec la cinéaste Germaine Dulac en 1927, le décor par projection s’y développe dans les années 1930 sous l’impulsion de son directeur Jacques Rouché et de l’artiste Ernest Klausz. Le cinéma apparaît comme l’un des moyens les plus efficaces pour moderniser le décor, aussi bien pour renforcer l’illusion réaliste que pour explorer une esthétique avant-gardiste. Mais cette hybridation n’est jamais tout à fait la même selon les œuvres, d’autant que le cinéma peut se comprendre aussi bien comme industrie, technique de projection ou encore lieu d’une expérience collective nouvelle. Au-delà des questions artistiques et esthétiques se révèlent des enjeux économiques et sociaux, visant notamment à dépasser l’opposition entre culture savante et culture populaire.
L’étude des pyrrhiques d’amphithéâtre sous l’empire : l’apport de l’iconographie
Authors: Berlan-Gallant Anne 
Published: July 2024

Des sources littéraires, mais aussi des documents iconographiques, témoignent de l’introduction à Rome, dans le programme des spectacles de l’amphithéâtre, de brèves mises en scène de thèmes mythologiques qui portaient le nom de pyrrichae (pyrrhiques). Qu’il s’agisse d’exécutions de condamnés, de spectacles reconstituant les exploits cynégétiques de tel ou tel héros proche des uenationes, ou encore d’extraits de mimes, leur représentation dans l’arène, d’abord à Rome puis dans les provinces, impliquait le choix d’un thème mythologique déjà diffusé par des vecteurs accessibles à tous, comme le théâtre ou le décor des objets d’usage courant. À leur tour, ces spectacles d’amphithéâtre ont pu contribuer à confirmer et prolonger le succès des mêmes thèmes dans l’iconographie du monde romain, qu’il s’agisse des décors des plus riches demeures ou d’objets du quotidien produits en série. Cette place des spectacles dans la constitution de ce que l’on pourrait appeler un « dénominateur commun » des références mythologiques présentes dans le décor et dans l’imaginaire de tous les habitants de l’empire pose en même temps la question de l’influence du pouvoir impérial, premier organisateur de ces spectacles, sur le choix des thèmes ainsi privilégiés.
Le stoïcisme :une métaphysique de l’informationou le matérialisme impossible
Authors: Duhot Jean-Joël 
Published: July 2024

La philosophie s’est construite sur le dualisme. Esprit et matière, âme et corps s’opposent dans une évidence qui traverse presque toute l’histoire de la philosophie, et sur laquelle s’articule la question du matérialisme. Or il y avait une autre voie que ce dualisme qui, renouvelé par Descartes, a conduit la philosophie classique dans ses impasses : celle que les stoïciens avaient ouverte en toute connaissance de cause. L’âme est corps, la pensée est incarnée, sans que cela conduise au matérialisme, puisque l’univers est totalement finalisé. Cette solution, qui peut nous sembler artificielle, est en réalité parfaitement cohérente et s’appuie sur une métaphysique de l’information, qui permet de comprendre ce qui passait jusqu’à présent pour des subtilités plus ou moins gratuites, et dont nous pouvons aujourd’hui mesurer toute la pertinence. Le cosmos est organisé sur le modèle du langage, celui d’un sens encodé dans de la matière.
La « prohairesis » chez Épictète :décision, volonté, ou « personne morale » ?
Authors: Gourinat Jean-Baptiste 
Published: July 2024

La notion de prohairesis est l’une des notions centrales du stoïcisme d’Épictète. Alors que cette notion avait dans l’ancien stoïcisme une place mineure, celle d’une forme d’impulsion consistant en un « choix avant un choix », et n’avait que rarement (notamment chez Diogène de Séleucie) un sens plus large, c’est bien à l’aristotélisme qu’Épictète paraît avoir emprunté une notion de la prohairesis comme choix préférentiel étroitement liée à celle d’eph’ hemin (« ce qui dépend de nous »). Mais Épictète a introduit de nombreuses transformations au sein de cette notion, l’étendant à toutes les facultés actives de l’âme, y compris l’assentiment, et faisant de la prohairesis la seule chose qui dépende de nous, et non pas un choix portant sur ce qui dépend de nous comme chez Aristote. Une analyse des différents sens de la prohairesis montre que cette notion apparaît à la fois comme une décision ponctuelle, comme la faculté de prendre des décisions, et, dans un sens plus particulier, comme le choix préliminaire d’un mode de vie ou d’un personnage. De ce fait, la prohairesis n’est pas à proprement parler une « personne morale », comme on le soutient souvent, mais contribue à la constituer parce que c’est elle qui constitue l’essence du bien et du mal.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Unmet healthcare need among elderly is the want for essential healthcare which is not fulfilled. Health needs of the elderly often go unrecognized. Functional limitation is one of the contributors in this unmet health need. The situation is worse in rural areas due to lack of awareness and lower socio-economic status. The study aimed to estimate the burden of unmet health needs among the elderly of Budge-Budge II block in West Bengal, to assess their morbidity pattern and to evaluate the predictors of this unmet health need.

Materials and Methods:
A community-based descriptive study, cross-sectional in design was conducted for a period of 3 months in selected villages of Budge-Budge II block, West Bengal. Data on unmet need were collected by face-to-face interview of 396 participants selected by simple random sampling using EASYCare standard (2010) questionnaire.

Results:
The most prevalent unmet health need was for preventive care (87.37%), followed by mental health and wellbeing (84.09%). Hypertension was the most common morbidity (52.02%) reported among the study population. Belonging to the age group of 60-69 years had a lower odds of experiencing unmet health needs, whereas being a homemaker or engagement in agricultural work had higher odds of facing unmet health needs among the study participants.

Conclusions:
The unmet health need of the elderly is a major public health problem that is influenced by age, marital status, and nature of work.

The enaminone derivatives of sulfonamides (1–11) were obtained in good yield and high purity. Choline esterase (ChE) inhibitory activities of the novel compounds against AChE and BChE were determined by Ellman’s method. Ki values of compounds for AChE and BChE enzymes were obtained in the ranges of 14.28˗160.17 µM, and 8.30˗324.27 µM, respectively. Compound, 9 presented good activity towards AChE and BChE with Ki values of 14.28 µM and 8.30 µM, respectively. Compounds 2 and 10 were found to be the most potent compounds showing cytotoxic effect (IC50 = 71.54 µg/mL and IC50 = 83.59 µg/mL), respectively, on lung cancer cell line (A549) and normal cells (Beas-2B) (IC50 = 164.62 µg/mL and IC50 = 155.64 µg/mL), respectively. The compounds have interacted with various proteins like AChE enzyme protein (PDB ID: 4M0E) and BChE enzyme protein (PDB ID: 5NN0). Finally, ADME/T analysis was performed to predict the movements of molecules in human metabolism.

Published: July 2024

Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS) were effectively prepared using ultrasonication-assisted synthesis. The high hydrophobicity and excellent dispersibility of the synthesised CdS nanoparticles in ethanol could increase their anti-penetrant effect against corrosive media. We evaluated and examined the corrosion prevention properties of CdS nanoparticle coatings on MS steel using Tafel polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in HCl, NaCl, and KOH. The experimental results demonstrated that CdS nanoparticle coatings had higher corrosion performance than uncoated MS plates. Besides, CdS nanoparticles may be adsorbed on steel to produce a hydrophobic anti-corrosion layer, enhancing corrosion resistance. The impedance of CdS coatings increased continuously during electrolyte immersion. The results show that CdS acted as a suitable inhibitor and this inhibition efficiency and the polarization curves indicated that CdS nanoparticles performed as mixed inhibitors. The inhibition effect on the surface of the MS plate using CdS nanoparticle coating was investigated with inhibitors confirmed by nanoindentation techniques. The revolutionary approach for creating hydrophobic CdS nanoparticles suggested in this exertion may stimulate the development of high-performance anticorrosion materials and their corrosive protection applications.

Published: July 2024

Digital advertisement promotes goods and services using digital media and technology. These digital advertisement images contain important information on the product and services being advertised and seek to persuade potential customers to take specific actions toward contacting the advertiser. Manual extraction of information from the advertisement images is tedious and prone to errors. The literature on text detection from images, billboards, and signposts using Single-shot detection (SSD) is vast. However, the literature has not explored its performance for text detection on advertisement images. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the performance of these models on advertisement images. The performance of three selected Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models (Resnet-50, Mobilenetv2, and Resnet-101) with SSD for text detection in advertisement images was evaluated. A total of 400 digital advertisement images were manually collected and annotated for use in this study. Results of comparing the performance of selected CNN models with the SSD architecture for text detection from advertisement images showed that Resnet-50 performed well with the detection of small texts with a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.736, AP(small) of 0.692 and AR(small) of 0.781.

Background: Malaria induces a recession of the near point of convergence and a reduction of the amplitude of accommodation of the eye with symptoms such as blurred vision at near, difficulty reading, asthenopia, exophoria at near, and low accommodative convergence ratio occurring, all these symptoms lead to an interference in visual functioning and performance. Artemether- Lumefantrine anti-malaria drug is widely used and very effective as a first line treatment for uncomplicated plasmodium falciparum malaria infection. There is a need to determine if artemether-lumefantrine can reverse the effects of malaria on the amplitude of accommodation and near point of convergence.
Methods: This was a clinical study carried out using the convenient sampling method at the medical center and department of Optometry teaching clinic of the Federal University of Technology Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria to evaluate amplitude of accommodation and near point of convergence after treatment with artemether-lumefantrine. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects that participated in the study and ethical clearance from the Ethics Committee of the School of Health Technology, Federal University of Technology, Owerri. 143 subjects aged 18 to 30 years diagnosed with malaria were recruited for the study. The amplitude of accommodation was measured using the push-up to blur method with an accommodative target, and near point of convergence was determined using the push-up to break and recovery method with an accommodative target. Both measurements were taken after the diagnosis of malaria was made through laboratory analysis and before the administration of the drug. After drug administration, amplitude of accommodation and near point of convergence measurements were repeated 24-, 48-, 72-, and 336 hours. Effects of drug administration on parameters were analyzed using T-test and ANOVA.
Results: There was a significant increase in the amplitude of accommodation with time following administration of artemether-lumefantrine drug combination (p<0.001) while near point of convergence was not affected (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Artemether-lumefantrine used for the treatment of malaria countered the effect of malaria parasite on amplitude of accommodation by increasing it but had no significant effect on near point of convergence.
Enhancing sexual and reproductive health services uptake in Sub- Saharan Africa: the role of community Pharmacists in promoting self-care interventions: a systematic review
Authors: Ndayishimye S. , Oladokun A. , Mukanyangezi M. F. 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Low uptake of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services is influenced by system-level and socio-cultural barriers. Despite the potential of community pharmacists to offer self-care interventions on SRH, their role remains underutilized in the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region due to a lack of guidelines and awareness.
METHODS: A systematic search strategy was employed to identify peer-reviewed articles published in the English language between 2013 and 2023. The search was conducted from January 2023 to June 2023 in Research4life, PubMed, and Cochrane databases. Eligible studies focused on community pharmacists' interventions related to self-testing, self-management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), self-abortion management, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP), and self-management of contraception in SSA.
RESULTS: The initial database search produced 7487 articles after removing duplicates, out of which 65 articles were appraised for full-text screening after the title and abstract screening. Ultimately, 11 articles were included in the review, covering selfcare interventions for sexual and reproductive health services, including modern contraceptives, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), medical abortion pills, and HIV self-testing. The studies highlighted that community pharmacists play a crucial role in offering counseling, education, and faster service delivery, particularly for adolescent girls and young women.
CONCLUSION: Community pharmacists in sub-Saharan Africa contribute in promoting access to, and use of self-care interventions for sexual and reproductive health services. Governments and policymakers should prioritize the development of standardized guidelines to support community pharmacists in delivering quality SRH services.
