Determining collaboration between University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension agents and secondary school-based agricultural educators
Authors: Emerson Case , Myers Brian E. , Bunch J. C. , Dossett Jason 
Published: July 2024

Successful and beneficial collaboration relies on the dedication individuals to cooperate, the established culture of collaboration and cooperation and a desire and willingness to collaborate. Agricultural educators and Extension agents often find themselves in competition for members rather than cooperation to develop members. Working in conjunction with one another in a concerted effort allows the two groups to develop youth into more efficient and effective leaders and citizens. This study utilized the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1985). As applied to this study, this theory would hold that the variables of interest, personal and professional demographics within the two groups, to influence collaboration levels between agricultural educators and extension agents because these factors can shape and include attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral controls. This study found perceptions between school-based agricultural educators and Extension agents do hold positive views of cooperation. However, this cooperation does not happen very often outside of well-established instances. Upon examination of this study, we recommend further research be done to maintain an accurate reading of cooperation between these two entities and delve further into what motivates them.
Toward Robust Corrections for Stellar Contamination in JWST Exoplanet Transmission Spectra
Authors: Rackham Benjamin V. , de Wit Julien 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Transmission spectroscopy is still the preferred characterization technique for exoplanet atmospheres, although it presents unique challenges that translate into characterization bottlenecks when robust mitigation strategies are missing. Stellar contamination is one such challenge that can overpower the planetary signal by up to an order of magnitude, and thus not accounting for it can lead to significant biases in the derived atmospheric properties. Yet this accounting may not be straightforward, as important discrepancies exist between state-of-the-art stellar models and measured spectra and between models themselves. Here we explore the extent to which stellar models can be used to reliably correct for stellar contamination and yield a planet’s uncontaminated transmission spectrum. We find that discrepancies between stellar models can significantly contribute to the noise budget of JWST transmission spectra of planets around stars with heterogeneous photospheres, the true number of unique photospheric spectral components and their properties can only be accurately retrieved when the stellar models have sufficient fidelity, and under such optimistic circumstances the contribution of stellar contamination to the noise budget of a transmission spectrum is considerably below that of the photon noise for the standard transit observation setup. Therefore, we advocate for further development of model spectra of stars and their active regions in a data-driven manner, empirical approaches for deriving spectra of photospheric components using the observatories with which the atmospheric explorations are carried out, and analysis techniques accounting for multimodal posterior distributions for photospheric parameters of interest, which will be increasingly revealed by precise JWST measurements.

Abstract
Ultrahot Jupiters (UHJs) are likely doomed by tidal forces to undergo orbital decay and eventual disruption by their stars, but the timescale over which this process unfolds is unknown. We present results from a long-term project to monitor UHJ transits. We recovered WASP-12 b’s orbital decay rate of

ms yr−1, in agreement with prior work. Five other systems initially had promising nonlinear transit ephemerides. However, a closer examination of two—WASP-19 b and CoRoT-2 b, both with prior tentative detections—revealed several independent errors with the literature timing data; after correction, neither planet shows signs of orbital decay. Meanwhile, a potential decreasing period for TrES-1 b,

and likely does not result from orbital decay if driven by dissipation within the host star. Nominal period increases in two systems, WASP-121 b and WASP-46 b, rest on a small handful of points. Only 1/43 planets (WASP-12 b) in our sample is experiencing detectable orbital decay. For nearly half (20/42), we can rule out

as high as observed for WASP-12 b. Thus, while many UHJs could still be experiencing rapid decay that we cannot yet detect, a sizable subpopulation of UHJs are decaying at least an order of magnitude more slowly than WASP-12 b. Our reanalysis of Kepler-1658 b with no new data finds that it remains a promising orbital decay candidate. Finally, we recommend that the scientific community take steps to avoid spurious detections through better management of the multi-decade-spanning data sets needed to search for and study planetary orbital decay.
Faulkner, Claude Simon et le collectif Inculte

Figurabilité de la métamorphose chez La Fontaine
Authors: Leplatre Olivier 
Published: July 2024

Un parcours à travers les Fables, Les Amours de Psyché et de Cupidonet Le Songe de Vaux illustre la
manière dont la métamorphose travaille l’œuvre de La Fontaine au point
de constituer l’un de ses schèmes structurants et explicatifs. Plus ou
moins sensibles ou rétives, en fonction de leurs genres, aux charmes
de la métamorphose dont la Fable est le principal référent, les
fictions lafontainiennes passent au crible du beau et du bon ses
qualités et sa valeur ; elles l’appréhendent alternativement ou
simultanément comme une illusion ou un miracle ; elles relèvent son
défi, qu’il soit chance ou malédiction, aidant alors le poète à
définir l’identité de son art comme preuve de la vie active des
formes, accueil des possibles et expérience régénératrice.
Le cycle des BalestaJoachim et les Ombres
Authors: Jean Françoise 
Published: July 2024

Quelle place occupent dans l’œuvre de Bosco Les Balesta (1955), Sabinus (1957) et L’Épervier (1963) ? Ce cycle méconnu
raconte l’histoire d’une famille inspirée de celle de Bosco : venus
d’Italie au xviie siècle, les Balesta se sont
installés dans l’aimable petite ville de Pierrelousse, en Provence. Or
le clan, pacifique, est affligé d’un « don » aux allures de
malédiction : le Ciel châtie sans pitié celui qui s’en prend à l’un
d’entre eux ! Pourtant, il n’empêchera pas le déclin de la famille.
Cent ans plus tard, l’étrange et très bosquien narrateur de la
trilogie, Joachim, dernier des Balesta, et hanté par la mémoire de ses
ancêtres, revient à Pierrelousse… Sous le classicisme apparent de la
forme, son récit foisonnant, entre conte et tragédie, est celui d’une
quête orphique sans fin.
Le paysage virgilien comme état d’âme. Des Bucoliques aux Géorgiques et à l’Énéide
Authors: Thomas Joël 
Published: July 2024

L’idéal de vie selon Virgile passe par une représentation utopique
du monde, identifié à une Arcadie heureuse. Le paysage y est un état
d’âme : la terre italienne est indissociable de la pensée des bergers,
elle en est le reflet. L’œuvre virgilienne apparaît alors comme le
lieu d’une réflexivité entre espace intérieur et espace extérieur. Les
trois poèmes majeurs de Virgile, les Bucoliques, les Géorgiques et l’Énéide, correspondent alors à trois moments
de son évolution personnelle et de sa relation au monde : l’idéal
holiste de fusion dans la nature, avec les Bucoliques ; puis l’idée d’une mise en
ordre de la nature sauvage, qui va de pair avec une géométrisation du
paysage, avec les Géorgiques ; enfin, l’idée, plus vaste
encore, d’une mise en ordre politique, avec l’Énéide, où l’ordre du monde se reflète dans
la cité, et dans l’Empire. Mais, à la fin, on voit poindre chez
Virgile le sentiment déceptif que tout ceci a été dévoyé par Auguste,
qui a transformé le rêve en impérialisme brutal : Virgile, déçu, fait
alors son adieu à la politique : c’est avant tout un poète, il ne peut
finalement être heureux que dans le monde utopique des Bucoliques.
L’Anatomie du réel. Le récit de deuil chez Annie Ernaux : une poéthique du récit d’orphelinage
Authors: Granereau Sarah 
Published: July 2024

Annie Ernaux a publié deux récits sur la perte de ses parents : La Place (1983) et Une femme(1988). Ils
permettent de définir le récit d’orphelinage, un récit du deuil d’un
ou des deux parents. Quête de soi et de vérité, cette narration
dessine une trame faite d’analepses et de différents récits allant
interroger le passé et le présent. La poéthique d’Annie Ernaux est de
trouver la forme qui puisse rendre compte du réel. Le récit de
l’agonie est celui de cet espace-temps unique, ni vie ni mort, les
deux. L’écriture, courageuse, opère cette anatomie.
Sirens’ Songs and Music: Their Representations and Significance on Archaic and Classical Attic Vase-Paintings
Authors: Liveri Angeliki 
Published: July 2024

Dans la religion grecque antique, les sirènes étaient souvent
associées à l’au-delà et aux rituels funéraires. Leur rôle dans la
littérature et la philosophie de la Grèce antique était également très
important. Le motif des sirènes peut être interprété de plusieurs
points de vue, a de nombreuses significations différentes et est
associé à diverses divinités. Cet article présente les sirènes dans
leur rôle de chanteuses et musiciennes, individuellement ou en groupe.
Des représentations choisies de sirènes, principalement sur des vases
attiques, sont combinées avec des sources littéraires, en se
concentrant sur les périodes archaïque et classique (vie-ve siècles avant notre
ère). Nous tentons d’examiner l’évolution de leur iconographie et de
leur signification, soit dans des scènes mythologiques inspirées des
épopées (Odyssée ou Argonautique), soit dans des scènes différentes, où
les sirènes anonymes sont liées à divers concepts (par exemple,
religieux-eschatologique). Les sirènes sont représentées sur des vases
à figures noires et rouges de formes et d’usages divers. En général,
elles chantent ; parfois, elles tiennent des instruments de musique,
généralement l’aulos et la lyre, rarement la
crotale. La comparaison avec des thèmes similaires représentés sur des
peintures de vases montrera les similitudes et les différences dans
leur iconographie et leur symbolisme.
Le centre et les périphéries à l’aune de l’esthétique « tremblée » d’Édouard Glissant : une approche artistique et géoculturelle transversale
Authors: Rhimi Mohamed Lamine 
Published: July 2024

Cette analyse apporte un nouvel éclairage sur la dichotomie (Centre/Périphéries), sous le signe de laquelle opère la machine coloniale. Il s’agit de rendre compte de la méthode et de la logique dont Glissant procède pour déconstruire la dialectique qui unit historiquement les dominants et les dominés, les Occidentaux et les périphériques. L’écrivain s’inscrit dans le sillage de Deleuze et Guattari, se revendique des schèmes de « rhizome » et de « l’identité-relation » et met à contribution la poétique baroque pour mettre en place une philosophie archipélique et cultiver une esthétique transversale, l’autorisant à subsumer les différentes communautés et les diverses régions du monde, sous les auspices du vivre-ensemble, loin de toute propension de centralisation monolithique.
Autophagy in erectile dysfunction: focusing on apoptosis and fibrosis
Authors: Luo Pei-Yue , Zou Jun-Rong , Chen Tao , Zou Jun , Li Wei , Chen Qi , Cheng Le , Zheng Li-Ying , Qian Biao 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In most types of erectile dysfunction, particularly in advanced stages, typical pathological features observed are reduced parenchymal cells coupled with increased tissue fibrosis. However, the current treatment methods have shown limited success in reversing these pathologic changes. Recent research has revealed that changes in autophagy levels, along with alterations in apoptosis and fibrosis-related proteins, are linked to the progression of erectile dysfunction, suggesting a significant association. Autophagy, known to significantly affect cell fate and tissue fibrosis, is currently being explored as a potential treatment modality for erectile dysfunction. However, these present studies are still in their nascent stage, and there are limited experimental data available. This review analyzes erectile dysfunction from a pathological perspective. It provides an in-depth overview of how autophagy is involved in the apoptotic processes of smooth muscle and endothelial cells and its role in the fibrotic processes occurring in the cavernosum. This study aimed to develop a theoretical framework for the potential effectiveness of autophagy in preventing and treating erectile dysfunction, thus encouraging further investigation among researchers in this area.
Effects of intranasal dexmedetomidine versus intranasal midazolam as premedication in children with tetralogy of Fallot undergoing corrective cardiac surgery: A randomized trial
Authors: Srivastava Sarvesh , Das Sambhunath , Makhija Neeti , Chauhan Sandeep 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
This prospective, randomized, double-blind trial was done to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine and intranasal midazolam as premedication for sedation and ease of child–parent separation in pediatric patients of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) undergoing corrective cardiac surgery.

Materials and Methods:
Forty children with TOF, between 1 and 10 years, undergoing corrective cardiac surgery were included in the study and, after randomization, were given intranasal midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) or intranasal dexmedetomidine (1 µg/kg), 30 min before shifting to the operation room (OR). Patients were assessed for sedation and child–parent separation, along with hemodynamic parameters, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation (SpO2) 30 min after drug administration, at the time of shifting inside the OR, and at the time of induction of anesthesia.

Results:
Both groups had comparable child–parent scores, hemodynamic parameters, SpO2, and respiratory rate. However, the dexmedetomidine group had significantly better sedation levels than the midazolam group patients at the time of shifting inside the OR (dexmedetomidine group: 3.55 ± 0.82 vs. midazolam group: 2.80 ± 0.83; P = 0.007) and at the time of induction of anesthesia (dexmedetomidine group: 3.40 ± 0.75 vs. midazolam group: 2.70 ± 0.86; P = 0.009).

Conclusion:
Intranasal dexmedetomidine provides better sedation than midazolam, with similar child–parent separation scores and hemodynamic parameters, respiratory rate, and SpO2. No adverse events were observed in both groups. A study on a larger population will help in further establishing the safety and superiority of dexmedetomidine and will further its regular use as an intranasal premedication.
Zero-contrast transcatheter closure of sinus venosus defect in advanced renal failure
Authors: Thejaswi Puthiyedath , Sagar Pramod , Sivakumar Kothandam 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Transcatheter closure of sinus venosus defect (SVD) is an emerging intervention that utilizes a covered stent to redirect the right upper pulmonary vein to the left atrium. Preprocedural computed tomography analysis, as well as the interventional procedure, necessitates the use of radiographic contrast media. Contrast use is prohibited in patients with advanced kidney disease, who also carry high surgical risks of cardiopulmonary bypass. Transesophageal echocardiography-guided catheter intervention with zero contrast use is presented in this report, along with technical details about planning the procedure. Covered stent exclusion of SVD without contrast use has not been reported in the literature so far.

Abstract
In the past, transvaginal surgery, native tissue restoration, or obliterative methods have been used in the majority of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgeries. Since laparoscopy has gained popularity, other procedures have been created to provide additional POP repair alternatives. Laparoscopic technique offers many advantages compared to open or transvaginal surgery when it comes to anatomical and surgical outcomes, recurrence rates, and patient’s acceptance. Furthermore, we encouraged incorporating different laparoscopic techniques into urogynecology training to attract young gynecologists. Based on our own clinical and surgical experience, we present various laparoscopic techniques for treating POP. We think that by giving patients a variety of surgical alternatives, we can treat them all more effectively.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Objectives:
In our previous article, we proposed the novel four-handed technique (FHT) for total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), which, according to us, is more helpful compared to the traditional TLH route. The objectives of the study were to analyze the FHT-TLH feasibility and efficiency by comparing some surgical outcomes recorded from 750 FHT-TLH performed in our hospital to literature data about the traditional TLH route and to underline the great opportunity this novel technique offers to the young specialists and residents to be more confident with gynecological laparoscopy.

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective analysis carried out by collecting data regarding patient characteristics and surgical outcomes (operative time, blood loss, surgical complications, use of analgesics, and length of hospitalization) from 750 hospital records of women who underwent FHT-TLH (with or without adnexectomy) due to benign or malignant pathology from January 2015 to December 2021 at our hospital.

Results:
We performed a total of 750 FHT-TLH, with or without adnexectomy. The mean skin-to-skin operative time for a FHT-TLH was 50 min, and the mean blood loss was 150 mL. No visceral damage was caused during surgeries. Only two patients underwent exploratory laparotomy with total abdominal hysterectomy due to the inability to proceed laparoscopically. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were administered only twice a day as analgesics, with advantage. The mean length of stay in the hospital after the procedure was 1.5 days, with discharge on the evening of the 1st day after surgery. No major postoperative complications occurred. The only minor postoperative complication described, in just three patients, was cellulitis of the vaginal vault.

Conclusion:
Our FHT-TLH experience represents an alternative to the traditional TLH route, which allows to apply a minimally invasive approach with some advantages for patients compared to the traditional TLH route, such as early recovery and reduced operating time, blood loss, use of analgesics, and hospital stay. Moreover, it allows young specialists and residents to be more confident with gynecological laparoscopy, particularly when operating as the first assistant, to improve their laparoscopic surgical skills faster than the traditional TLH route allows them.
A cross sectional study on detection of COVID 19 antibodies in laboratory personnel at Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad
Authors: Udayasri B , Sudharani V , Reddy P. Shashikala , Lakshmi G Jyothi 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) associated with COVID-19 disease was first reported from Wuhan Hubei Province, China, in December 2019.

Aim and Objective:
The current study is aimed to evaluate seroprevalence of SARS-COV-2 antibodies in laboratory personnel working in association with COVID-19 diagnostic work.

Methodology:
A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2020 and December 2020 to evluate seropositivity of COVID-19 in laboratory personnel by using COVID-19 IgG ELISA.

Results:
A total number of 91 laboratory personnel were included in the current study. Out of them, 45 (49.45%) were males, 46 (50.55%) were females. Out of 91 participants, 44 (48.35%) were doctors, 19 (20.8%) were Lab technicians, 13 (14.28%) were sample collection technicians, 7 (7.69%) were transport persons, 4 (4.39%) were research scientist, and 4 (4.39%) were data managers. Out of 91 samples, 25 were positive. Out of 44 doctors, 11 were positive contributing for (25%); out of 19 laboratory technicians, 5 were positive contributing for (26%); and out of 13 sample collection technicians, 5 were positive contributing for (38.46%).

Conclusion:
Seropositivity in asymptomatic individuals means that we need to be even more cautious in hospitals with masks, hand washing, and sanitization. Repeated serosurveys will help in the implementation of infection control policies in a systematic way, which in turn helps in protection of health care workers against COVID-19.
