Photometric Properties within the Reiner Gamma Swirl: Constraining Formation Mechanisms
Authors: Domingue Deborah , Weirich John , Chuang Frank , Courville Samuel , Clark Roger , Sickafoose Amanda , Palmer Eric , Gaskell Robert 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The area in the Reiner Gamma swirl studied by Weirich et al. for topographic correlations also displays correlations with the Hapke-model-derived single-scattering albedo, surface roughness, and particle scattering properties with swirl unit. The correlations with single-scattering albedo associate compositional variations in plagioclase and FeO content with swirl unit. The correlations with photometric surface roughness show a rougher surface on-swirl, implying a potentially more porous surface on-swirl compared to off-swirl. This suggests the variations in single-scattering albedo are dominated by the compositional differences and not structural differences, such as compaction. Grain-size differences could still contribute to the albedo variations. Differences in particle scattering properties between on-swirl and off-swirl are counter-indicative of the trend expected from variations in space weathering, unless there is a process to initiate either size sorting or compositional differences. The photometric properties point to a complex interaction of multiple processes to form the swirl units, not a singular dominant process. Variations in weathering, dust mobilization and entrapment, and impact modification may all play a key role.
Job insecurity and moral disengagement in frontline employees: A moderated mediation effect of perceived organizational support and occupational regret
Authors: Gautam Prakash Kumar , Gautam Dhruba Kumar 
Published: July 2024

Purpose: The study's purpose is to analyze the effect of job insecurity on the moral disengagement of frontline employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also analyzes the moderated mediation model incorporating occupational regret and perceived organizational support.Design/Methodology: This study used analytical research design to analyze the moderated mediation effect. Frontline employees working at least three days a week were selected as the respondents and data were collected through the structured questionnaire survey. Hayes's approach was used to examine the moderated mediation model adopting a 95% level of confidence.Findings: The result revealed that job insecurity is a significant predictor of moral disengagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, occupational regret mediated the predicting ability of job insecurity and moderated by organizational support. This study highlights the essence of organizational support to reduce moral disengagement as a consequence of job insecurity and occupational regret.Implications: This study contributes to the social cognitive theory. In addition, it recommends that management practitioners ensure organizational support to minimize employees’ disengagement. Further, it supports minimizing employees’ feelings of job insecurity and occupational regret by maintaining a supportive organizational environment. Originality/Value: This study adds value by examining the mediation effect of occupational regret in the relationship between predicting variable job insecurity and outcome variable moral disengagement. It also examines the moderation effect of perceived organizational support in the mediation model. Thus, this study suggests an integrated model. Further, this study provides recommendations for future research that gauge the level of understanding to manage employees’ moral disengagement during the crisis because of intense job insecurity feelings and occupational regret.
Examining Factors Associated With Intention to Seek Professional Mental Health Support Among First-Generation Iranian Americans

Published: July 2024

Purpose
Research suggests immigrants are at a greater risk of mental health disorders compared to native-born populations. Thus, the current study investigated factors associated with professional mental help-seeking intention among American immigrants.

Method
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 207 first-generation Iranian Americans, and data were collected using survey questionnaires.

Results
Younger Iranians living in western states in the United States and those with positive attitudes toward professional mental health services had greater intention to seek these services. Unexpectedly, those with better mental health literacy (MHL) held more mental health stigma (MHS).

Conclusion

Findings elucidated valuable insights into the complex dynamics among sociodemographic factors, acculturation, MHL, MHS, attitudes, and intentions toward professional mental health help-seeking. We also highlighted the intricate relationship between MHL and MHS, suggesting that strategies to improve MHL may not necessarily mitigate MHS within this community. Therefore, integrating anti-stigma, contact-based approaches to MHL programs could effectively reduce stigma while facilitating mental health help-seeking. [

Quand les ateliers s’animent : du slam à l’écridire
Authors: Vorger Camille 
Published: July 2024

Au fil de ce volume, la notion d’Atelier est envisagée avec un grand « A », s’agissant d’en explorer les diverses acceptions : de l’Atelier des artistes qui nous ouvrent une fenêtre sur la création poétique jusqu’aux Ateliers slam qui nous conduisent à revisiter les Ateliers d’écriture. En quoi ce terme est-il révélateur d’un travail artisanal de la langue/des langues comme matière(s) ? Qu’est-ce qui fait Atelier ? Quels en sont les piliers ? À quoi, à qui s’attelle-t-on ? Que fait l’Atelier à la créativité ? Induit-il une dimension collaborative ? En quoi favorise-t-il l’émergence d’une dynamique collective ? En quoi les Ateliers amènent-ils à relier l’écrire, le dire, et le faire, via le corps ? Quid des postures adoptées et émotions en jeu ? Sous l’amalgame « écridire », notre propos vise à explorer les allers-retours, le slam se situant à la confluence, au cœur de cet espace de je(u) donnant lieu à une expression lyrique autant que ludique. Au gré de ces enjeux, l’Atelier apparaît comme un espace ouvert à tous les possibles – grâce à l’horizon d’écoute qui s’y déploie – offrant une expérience de solidarité poétique active.
Musicalisation de la voix et du geste à l’écran dans les films anglophones contemporains, de V pour Vendetta (McTeigue, 2005) à Us (Peele, 2019)
Authors: Huvet Chloé 
Published: July 2024

Le cinéma contemporain a particulièrement concentré l’attention des chercheurs sur son esthétique audiovisuelle « intensifiée », visant une stimulation sensorielle maximale et globale. Cette sensorialité exacerbée ne s’exprime pourtant pas dans les seules stratégies audiovisuelles d’immersion du spectateur au cœur de l’action, mais dans des formes d’hybridation revivifiées entre musique et images cinématographiques. De nombreux films anglophones des deux dernières décennies se démarquent par une interaction subtile et dynamique entre les différents paramètres cinématographiques favorisant le déploiement d’une approche musicale globale, qui se concrétise au travers des stratégies de mise en scène et d’agencements audiovisuels spécifiques dans un contexte propice à leur plein déploiement. En nous appuyant sur un corpus vaste et diversifié, nous nous proposons ainsi d’aborder plusieurs films récents par le prisme sensible d’une « musicalité » audiovisuelle, en interrogeant ses conditions de possibilité et de manifestation ainsi que ses effets à l’aune du traitement cinématographique de la voix et du geste chorégraphié.
Les mutations de genres dans la production culturelle espagnole
Authors: Sabuco Cantó Assumpta 
Published: July 2024

L’objectif de notre article est d’analyser les influences de la production culturelle en Espagne en tant que technologies de genre. À partir des épistémologies du Sud, nous appliquons le concept de modèles de sexuation pour retracer la pluralité des genres qui, en interaction avec d’autres variables telles que l’ethnicité, le nationalisme et la classe sociale, opèrent comme « autres » manières de savoir et de ressentir. Cartographier les écologies des savoirs à travers les recréations sexuelles et de genre aux marges élargit diachroniquement le cadre binaire et patriarcal dominant. À travers les films et la musique populaire, l’État franquiste a inculqué des références rigides de masculinité et de féminité qui ont été remises en question comme une résistance vécue sur laquelle élargir les options de genre et de sexe. De nos jours, ces mutations marginales et plurielles acquièrent une grande prévalence tant au niveau académique que socio-politique.
« Vivre en accord avec la nature » ou « vivre en accord avec Zénon » ?
Authors: Dherbey Gilbert Romeyer 
Published: July 2024

Il existe deux témoignages divergents de la définition du telos de la vie humaine par le stoïcien Zénon : celui de Diogène Laërce et celui de Stobée. Or, ces témoignages ne se recoupent pas exactement, puisque le premier affirme que le telos est de « vivre en accord avec la nature » (formule longue), alors que le second le définit comme « vivre accordé (à soi-même) » (formule courte).Après avoir examiné les philosophique des deux formules présentée par Joseph Moreau et, à partir de la critique de cette interprétation, tente d’établir le bien-fondé du témoignage de Diogène Laërce, c’est-à-dire de l’attribution à Zénon de la formule longue.
Sur les polémiques des anciens stoïciens
Authors: Babut Daniel 
Published: July 2024

Pour élucider les motivations des stoïciens à polémiquer contre les autres écoles philosophiques, on est amené à s’interroger sur la place et la fonc­tion de la dialectique dans le système stoïcien. Or il apparaît que, au lieu de la fonction heuristique qui est la sienne dans l’enseignement de l’Académie, la dia­lectique n’a chez les stoïciens qu’une fonction défensive : elle ne sert pas à découvrir la vérité par l’examen critique des arguments opposés, mais à défendre contre les objections une vérité déjà connue. Cette certitude des stoïciens de posséder la vérité se rapprocherait donc en quelque sorte d’une foi religieuse.
Association of Prior COVID-19 Infection with Risk of Breakthrough Infection Following Vaccination: A Cohort Study in Isfahan, Iran
Authors: Manteghinejad Amirreza , Rasti Sina , Nasirian Maryam , Javanmard Shaghayegh Haghjooy 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background:
Many people worldwide have developed a combination of natural and vaccine-induced immunity to COVID-19. This study investigated whether exposure to SARS-CoV-2 before full vaccination promotes protection against a breakthrough infection.

Methods:
We studied a total of 2,902,545 people in the Isfahan COVID-19 Registry. All the participants had received two doses of either Sinopharm BIBP, ChAdOx1-nCoV-19, Gam-COVID-Vac, or BIV1-CovIran vaccines. A cohort study examined the association between prior COVID-19 infection and the risk of a breakthrough infection for each vaccine. Cohorts in each pair were matched by gender, age group, calendar week of the first dose, the interval between the first and second doses, and the proportion of healthcare workers. The probable virus variant for the previous infections was also considered. Each individual’s follow-up started 14 days after their second vaccine dose until either the end of the study censoring date, occurrence of a COVID-19 infection, or death. The breakthrough infection risk was compared between each cohort pair by using the hazard ratio (HR) and incidence rate ratio (IRR).

Results:
Total breakthrough HRs (95% confidence interval) (previously infected over infection-naïve matched cohort) were 0.36 (0.23–0.55), 0.35 (0.32–0.40), 0.37 (0.30–0.46), and 0.43 (0.32–0.56) for the BIV1-CovIran, Sinopharm BIBP, Gam-COVID-Vac, and ChAdOx1-nCoV-19 vaccine groups, respectively. The breakthrough infection IRRs were approximately similar to the total HRs mentioned above.

Conclusion:
Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection conferred additive immunity against breakthrough after vaccination, no matter which vaccine brand was injected. Such a result could guide health authorities to codify low-cost high-benefit vaccination protocols and protect the community’s well-being.
Solitary Functioning Kidneys Attenuate Renal Hemodynamics Responses to Angiotensin II in Male But Not in Female Rats
Authors: Pezeshki Zahra , Nematbakhsh Mehdi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Backgrounds:
People with solitary functioning kidneys (SFK) are prone to renal failure with time. Accordingly, local renin angiotensin system (RAS) and renal functions in subjects with SFK may act differently compared to normal condition. This study was designed to determine the renal hemodynamics responses to angiotensin II (Ang. II) in SFK male and female rats.

Methods:
Fifty to sixty-day-old male and female Wistar rats were subjected to unilateral renal artery obstruction, and 28 days later basal renal hemodynamic responses to Ang. II were examined in SFK groups compared to sham groups.

Results:
The findings indicated lower renal vascular resistance (RVR) and renal blood flow (RBF) responses to Ang. II in male SFK compared to sham group. Such observation was not seen in female animals.

Conclusions:
An increase in renal metabolism due to hyperfunction, especially in SFK male rats, may cause a decrease in RVR. Moreover, the lower RBF response to Ang. II may be related to alteration to Ang. II receptors in the remnant kidneys in SFK rats.
Advancing Diabetes Self-Management: A Novel Smartphone Application Featuring a Scoring Algorithm for Tailored User Engagement
Authors: Tebianian Mohammad A. , Jahromi Soodeh Razeghi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background:
We developed and evaluated an intelligent diabetes assistant application (Diabetter) for the self-management of diabetes. It suggested that increasing the patient’s interest and participation in using smartphone apps is important for the effectiveness of diabetes management apps.

Methods:
After evaluating all-encompassing features for diabetes management, we divided the selected factors into sub-factors for use in the application. Then, we created the first high-fidelity prototype using related programs and conducted early user testing to validate and improve Diabetter. To handle the user transaction time and keep them motivated, we designed and implemented a scoring system based on the nudge theory rules within the app.

Results:
To evaluate Diabetter’s impact on diabetes self-management, we measured HbA1c levels after a prolonged period. The Diabetter prototype was developed and modified in a revised version for better user interaction with the app. The scoring system increased the input of users’ information, which resulted in more analysis and recommendations to users. Clinical studies showed that as a result of continuous input of information from users who had been using the application for a longer period of time, their HbA1c levels were within the healthy range.

Conclusions:
The results demonstrate that the Diabetter application has been able to play an effective role in diabetes self-management by increasing users’ app usage time. However, future study is needed to provide a better interpretation.
Ayurveda Treatment for Cardiorespiratory Endurance Enhancement in a Marathon Runner—A Case Study in a 21-Year-Old Athlete
Authors: Lakshmi Vasantha 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Marathon runners are a group of endurance athletes who spend a remarkable amount of energy during which they may manifest fatigue and restlessness. However, these athletes are prone to musculoskeletal and cardiovascular disorders when not under ideal dietary recommendations or medical supervision. The existing medical remedies seem to be self-administered “commercial supplements” for the improvement of cardiopulmonary endurance (CPE), which may affect the functioning of the kidney. We present a case of a marathon runner who presented with generalized weakness/fatigue during running, lack of sleep, and appetite, seeking improvement in overall health condition for his run. We considered the case to be of an endurance athlete in need of improved CPE and initiated an ayurvedic treatment and dietary plan. Ashwagandha, Triphala, and Gokshura churnas significantly improved the CPE while simultaneously improving his generalized weakness after treatment.
Are primary care physicians familiar enough with potentially inappropriate medications in geriatric care? A cross-sectional study in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alharkan Khalid S. , Alfarea Abdulaziz M. , Alkhateeb Abdulrahman F. , Alsousi Safaa A. , Althwaiqb Sarah A. , Alshammari Malak O. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:
Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and polypharmacy constitute increasing healthcare costs and significant risk for adverse outcomes in older adults. The American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria form a screening tool for the identification of PIMs and guidance for healthcare providers in prescribing appropriate medications. However, primary care physicians’ knowledge of screening tools, of Beers Criteria, in particular, is not known. Therefore, this study was to investigate primary care physicians in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and their awareness of Beers Criteria and knowledge of PIMs.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This cross-sectional study was conducted among primary care physicians working in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using an online self-administered questionnaire that consisted of sections on the general characteristics of respondents and their knowledge of Beers Criteria as a screening tool. Eight clinical-based vignettes concerning different therapeutic areas of medication use in the elderly were included, with a score of 1 and 0 for correct and wrong answers, respectively. Data presented as frequency and percentage. Chi-square test was used to determine the association between duration of practice and the level of awareness about Beers criteria.

RESULTS:
Of the 121 physicians who returned completed questionnaires, 41.3% of respondents knew about Beers Criteria. Most respondents (52.9%) were confident in prescribing appropriately for elderly patients. The association between the duration of practice and confidence level was statistically significant (P = 0.040). Respondents showed an above-average knowledge of the clinical vignettes with a correct answer rate >50% in all clinical scenarios. Online search (84.2%) and physician colleagues’ knowledge and experiences (39.2%) were the primary source of information reported by the respondents.

CONCLUSION:
Awareness of Beers Criteria of primary care physicians in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province is low. Therefore, our results will educate healthcare workers on the importance of Beers Criteria in Geriatric patients’ prescriptions, in order to significantly improve the well-being of the elderly.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Fasting denotes abstinence from food or drink or both for well-being, ritualistic, and spiritual purposes. This study was conducted to explore the effect of Navratras fasting on anthropometric parameters, biochemical factors, and pro-inflammatory biomarkers.

Materials and Methods:
This study was a short-term longitudinal follow-up study conducted during Navratras (Oct 2020) in a residential medical college campus in western Maharashtra. Assessment of the participants based on anthropometry, biochemical, and pro-inflammatory markers was done at three-time points 7 days before the start of intermittent fasting (T1) (before the start of Navratras), at the end of intermittent fasting (the last day of the festival) (T2) (during Navratras), and 1 week after completion of intermittent fasting (T3) (after the end of Navratras).

Results:
A total of 50 subjects participated in the study, and the mean age of study participants was 33.6 ± 10 years. There was a significant reduction in body weight (P = 0.001), waist circumference (P = 0.001), and hip circumference (P ≤ 0.05) during the intermittent fasting period (T2). Significantly lower levels of total cholesterol (P < 0.01) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) (P < 0.01) were observed in the T2 and T3 time points of sampling. However, a significant increase in TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8 levels was observed during the T2 phase (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The current exploratory study evaluating the importance of intermittent fasting during Navratras showed a significant reduction in certain anthropometric as well as biochemical parameters. It is recommended that intermittent fasting may be considered by individuals who are overweight and need to improve overall health. However, it is important that like any other weight-loss program, intermittent fasting should also be undertaken under medical supervision.
Coblation-Assisted Endoscopic Approach for Airway Stenosis
Authors: Gupta Vikas , Upadhyay Kiran , Datta Rakesh , Raina Sheetal , Bhatia Ritika , Lohith BR 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Acquired laryngotracheal stenosis is a challenging condition for the otolaryngologist. The gold standard of treatment for a long time has been open surgical procedure but not without significant morbidities. To avoid morbidities, various endoscopic approaches like balloon dilatation, stenting, CO2 laser, and cryotherapy have emerged in the last decade. Coblation-assisted tracheoplasty is one such novel approach which enables the removal of target tissue with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Aim and Objectives:
The aim of this case series is to evaluate the use of bipolar radiofrequency plasma ablation (Coblation) in the treatment of acquired adult tracheal stenosis.

Materials and Methods:
This is a retrospective case series in a tertiary care center. The medical records of six patients with tracheal stenosis who were treated with coblation from March 2020 to December 2020 were reviewed. Patient presentation, surgical intervention(s), post-operative course, and complications were analyzed.

Result:
All six patients had acquired tracheal stenosis post-tracheostomy. Coblation along with balloon dilatation and Mitomycin-C were done for these patients. All six patients could be successfully decannulated without complications, perioperative, or post-operative sequalae.

Conclusion:
The results of this study suggest that coblation may be an effective endoscopic tool for the treatment of tracheal stenosis. Further studies with a large number of patients are required as this technique comes more in application.
