Abstract
We present a method to estimate distances to asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Galaxy, using spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the near- and mid-infrared. By assuming that a given set of source properties (initial mass, stellar temperature, composition, and evolutionary stage) will provide a typical SED shape and brightness, sources are color matched to a distance-calibrated template and thereafter scaled to extract the distance. The method is tested by comparing the distances obtained to those estimated from very long baseline interferometry or Gaia parallax measurements, yielding a strong correlation in both cases. Additional templates are formed by constructing a source sample likely to be close to the Galactic center, and thus with a common, typical distance for calibration of the templates. These first results provide statistical distance estimates to a set of almost 15,000 Milky Way AGB stars belonging to the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution (BAaDE) survey, with typical distance errors of ±35%. With these statistical distances, a map of the intermediate-age population of stars traced by AGBs is formed, and a clear bar structure can be discerned, consistent with the previously reported inclination angle of 30° to the GC–Sun direction vector. These results motivate deeper studies of the AGB population to tease out the intermediate-age stellar distribution throughout the Galaxy, as well as determining statistical properties of the AGB population luminosity and mass-loss-rate distributions.

Abstract
This article presents new astronomical source catalogs using data from the BUFFALO Survey. These catalogs contain detailed information for over 100,000 astronomical sources in the six BUFFALO clusters: A370, A2744, AS1063, MACS 0416, MACS 0717, and MACS 1149 spanning a total of 240 arcmin2. The catalogs include positions and forced photometry measurements of these objects in the F275W, F336W, F435W, F606W, F814W, F105W, F125W, F140W, and F160W HST bands, Keck-NIRC2/VLT-HAWKI Ks band, and IRAC Channel 1 and 2 bands. Additionally, we include photometry measurements in the F475W, F625W, and F110W bands for A370. This catalog also includes photometric redshift estimates computed via template fitting using LePhare. When comparing to a spectroscopic reference, we obtain an outlier fraction of 8.6% and scatter, normalized median absolute deviation, of 0.059. The catalogs are publicly available for their use by the community (https://archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/buffalo/).
Reimagining Academic Performance Management in the Age of AI
Authors: Dare Richard 
Published: July 2024

The university’s initial response to the spectre of artificial intelligence nullifying the efficacy of traditional academic performance assessments may present us with, if the reader will indulge an old chestnut, a case of ‘c’est vouloir prendre des li`evres au son du tambour’. That is to say, the unexpected 2022 arrival of ChatGPT (to say nothing of the progeny rapidly evolving AI systems will likely spawn next) is at this very moment spreading like an intellectual pandemic – whether professors wish to acknowledge its presence or not.
As a community dedicated to thoughtful education, this new technology compels us to choose between three entirely distinct strategies:

Ignore the impact of large language models on learning and assessment altogether and watch our students’ skills erode – the default non-response if we fail to act; or

Fight against the inevitable incursion of cut-and-paste technologies such as ChatGPT by categorising them as forms of plagiarism, banning their use in academia, and trying to identify their offspring so we can apply largely feckless punishments as imagined remedies; or

Embrace the new technologies and harness them in ways that radically recast core international educational and assessment practises, making them more suitable for the world in which we actually live.

This paper imagines just such a third way.
By contextualising technological advances as useful tools that can decolonise ailing education systems, the author imagines new evidence-based teaching and assessment strategies that can challenge students to achieve higher academic standards, making higher education increasingly impactful on the real world.
The opportunity, this paper argues, is for international educational systems to ‘go beyond the unknown to meet the known’.
Dépasser les ancrages disciplinaires. Pour des logistics studies de terrain
Authors: Blaszkiewicz Hélène 
Published: July 2024

Cet article a pour objectif de réfléchir à la place des logistics studies dans les sciences sociales. À partir d’une revue des travaux ayant fait de la logistique un thème important dans leurs traditions scientifiques respectives, l’étude cherche à dépasser les ancrages disciplinaires et à faire de la logistique un objet d’étude transversal aux sciences sociales s’intéressant aux transformations des géographies économiques et des pratiques commerciales. L’article souhaite particulièrement mettre en exergue ce que les logistics studies peuvent apporter à l’étude de l’économie des pays des Suds (et de l’Afrique en particulier). Les travaux analysés sont classés suivant deux pôles : d’un côté, nombre d’entre eux se placent à l’échelle internationale pour comprendre les effets de la logistique, tendant à naturaliser l’ambition globale de cette industrie. De l’autre, ce sont les particularités locales des circulations marchandes et des outils logistiques qui retiennent l’attention. Je conclus en proposant un programme méthodologique et théorique capable de lier ces différentes traditions scientifiques et développer pleinement les potentiels des études logistiques.
Quid du secteur informel dans les politiques publiques de modernisation du système de transport urbain de Dakar ?
Authors: Sakho Papa , Diongue Momar 
Published: July 2024

La grande ville africaine, figure emblématique de la métropole des infrastructures, symbolise l’entrée du continent dans la modernité. De Rabat au Cap et de Dakar à Nairobi, chaque métropole dispose de son métro, tram, train express, système de Bus rapid transit (BRT), en exploitation ou en projet. La mise à l’agenda politique de ces grandes infrastructures de transport de masse vient se superposer à la gestion d’un système préexistant faisant coexister un secteur public et un système dit informel, ou artisanal, de transport en commun. La fluidité incarnée par les nouvelles infrastructures se diffuse-t-elle vers les acteurs ordinaires du transport ? Dakar est le terrain d’observation de ces politiques publiques. Les données mobilisées résultent de l’analyse des discours des autorités politiques et gestionnaires et d’une enquête quantitative et qualitative, menée en octobre 2019 sur un échantillon de 180 acteurs du système de transport, dans six gares routières de transport informel devant être déplacées par le BRT. La modernisation du système des transports urbains de Dakar est marquée par l’incertitude des réformes institutionnelles encouragées par les bailleurs internationaux dans une perspective néolibérale. Elle peine encore à apporter une réponse globale, cohérente et efficace articulant internationalisation des infrastructures et de l’offre de services de mobilité et informalité des systèmes préexistants.
La structure d’horizon au sein des axiomatiques : la phénoménologie entre réalisme et idéalisme
Authors: Pradelle Dominique 
Published: July 2024

Faut-il entériner la thèse de l’objectivisme sémantique et admettre qu’il existe du sens en soi, doué d’identité absolue et ontologiquement indépendant de la conscience ? ou faut-il maintenir, dans le domaine des idéalités mathématiques, la thèse selon laquelle tout sens renvoie à une donation de sens par la conscience ? Nous examinons ici la question dans le cadre des mathématiques axiomatisées : les systèmes axiomatiques ne sont-ils pas clos a priori par la position des axiomes ? Partant, ce que Derrida affirmait des objets mathématiques (le fait qu’ils soient reconductibles à une donnée adéquate et s’épuisent dans leur phénoménalité) ne vaut-il pas pour les systèmes formels ? Nous voulons montrer que toute visée d’objets idéaux possède une structure d’horizon excédentaire, et que c’est à celle-ci que se réduit l’être en soi de tels objets. L’axiomatisation des théories renforce en effet le statut holiste de la visée d’idéalité mathématique, les formes d’objet n’ayant d’existence qu’intrathéorique et étant fonction du contexte théorique. Des divers sens de la thèse réaliste, on ne retiendra en définitive que la validité intersubjective des objets idéaux et leur obéissance à des lois idéales, sans admettre la thèse de leur indépendance ontologique.
Des modes d’objectivité dans l’apprentissage des mathématiques : le structuralisme mathématique à la lumière d’une épistémologie expérimentale
Authors: Hausberger Thomas 
Published: July 2024

La présente étude questionne l’objectivité des mathématiques à travers l’analyse de la pratique mathématique, dans une modalité didactique. À travers des dialogues en classe (dans l’esprit de Lakatos), nous examinons la thèse, inspirée des travaux de Granger, que le développement de mathématiques formelles selon la méthode abstraite structuraliste ne se réduit pas à un langage mais engage un « contenu formel » qui se déploie dans une intuition symbolique. La didactique ou épistémologie expérimentale contribue ainsi à la philosophie par un commentaire d’expériences et l’interprétation de significations, dans des regards croisés.
Objectivity and Rigor in Classical Italian Algebraic Geometry
Authors: Toffoli Silvia De , Fontanari Claudio 
Published: July 2024

The classification of algebraic surfaces by the Italian School of algebraic geometry is universally recognized as a breakthrough in 20th century mathematics. The methods by which it was achieved do not, however, meet the modern standard of rigor and therefore appear dubious from a contemporary viewpoint. In this article, we offer a glimpse into the mathematical practice of the three leading exponents of the Italian School of algebraic geometry: Castelnuovo, Enriques, and Severi. We then bring into focus their distinctive conception of rigor and intuition. Unlike what is often assumed today, from their perspective, rigor is neither opposed to intuition nor understood as a unitary phenomenon –Enriques distinguishes between small-scale rigor and large-scale rigor and Severi between formal rigor and substantial rigor. Finally, we turn to the notion of mathematical objectivity. We draw from our case study in order to advance a multi-dimensional analysis of objectivity. Specifically, we suggest that various types of rigor may be associated with different conceptions of objectivity: namely objectivity as faithfulness to facts and objectivity as intersubjectivity.
L’adaptation comme variation thématique : les œuvres d’Henry James dans La Chambre verte de François Truffaut
Authors: Jardonnet Évelyne 
Published: July 2024

Le générique de La Chambre verte comporte une singularité. Alors qu’elle est à l’origine du film, la nouvelle d’Henry James « L’Autel des morts » n’y est pas créditée. La référence à l’œuvre est remplacée par la mention « sur des thèmes d’Henry James ». Une telle précision n’a rien d’anecdotique, car elle cristallise la complexité du processus d’adaptation inhérent au film. On en prend la pleine mesure grâce à l’analyse des nombreux documents d’archives disponibles. Leur exploration met au jour deux phénomènes. Le premier concerne le jeu de tensions entre le texte source et l’abondante masse textuelle convoquée par les scénaristes pour combler les blancs que comportait, à leurs yeux, le texte source. Porté à son paroxysme par l’introduction de « La Bête dans la jungle », ce jeu de tensions implique également d’autres écrits de James. Des incessantes réécritures du scénario qui en découlent, surgit un autre phénomène. En effet, on observe l’existence d’un intertexte filmique très prégnant, dont la cohérence retient l’attention. Or, loin de faire glisser l’œuvre de James au second plan, celui‑ci jette sur ses réseaux thématiques un éclairage saillant
Écrit dans les coins pour liaisons secrètes : se passer le (petit) mot dans les films de François Truffaut
Authors: Vasse David 
Published: July 2024

Toute fiction truffaldienne met en scène une logique de compromission entre la visibilité de la norme et la pression des attractions clandestines. Trouvant probablement son origine dans ses longues heures de lecture à l’écart des adultes, la relation du cinéma de Truffaut à la lettre se caractérise par une ponctualité de l’écrit en filigrane de l’histoire principale, jusqu’à devenir le paraphe d’un destin fatidique. Ainsi trouve‑t‑on fréquemment dans ses films l’interaction de la valeur contrebandière de l’écrit et du développement d’une liaison secrète. Le texte développe cette réflexion à propos de La Peau douce (1964), Domicile conjugal (1970) et La Femme d’à côté (1981).
Un maquis urbain ? Participation et légitimation du militantisme armé dans une petite ville de l’Est de la RDC
Authors: Malipo Kabiona Yves 
Published: July 2024

Le rapport entre le rural et l’urbain dans la formation et la structuration des groupes armés de l’Est du Congo demeure encore peu questionné. Cet article vient combler cette lacune. Il analyse l’engagement direct et indirect des citadins d’Uvira, une petite ville du Sud-Kivu, dans les groupes armés locaux de la région, souvent considérés comme opérant depuis les maquis ruraux. L’article s’appuie sur des données diverses : entretiens avec les acteurs, observations sur les lieux d’exercice des groupes armés, documents écrits, sources de presse ainsi que les réseaux sociaux. Il montre que l’engagement ex situ, c’est-à-dire l’engagement en ville, à distance du maquis rural, joue un rôle très important pour la survie des groupes armés : extension des réseaux, mobilisations des ressources et légitimation de l’entreprise guerrière par des actions légales et symboliques.
Protamine and Heparin Interactions: A Narrative Review
Authors: Crivellari Martina , Landoni Giovanni , D’Andria Ursoleo Jacopo , Ferrante Luca , Oriani Alessandro 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Protamine, first isolated from salmon fish sperm and now produced through recombinant biotechnology, is an antidote that neutralizes the anticoagulant properties of heparin. Protamine function is based on the capacity to dissociate the heparin–antithrombin III (AT III) complex (an important link that promotes blood fluidification by inhibiting coagulation), forming the inactive heparin–protamine complex. Protamine has itself dose-dependent anticoagulant properties: It interferes with coagulation factors and platelet function; it stimulates fibrinolysis; it can lead to thrombocytopenia and reduction in thrombin-related platelet aggregation; it decreases platelet response to thrombin receptor agonist in a dose-dependent manner. In this review, we will focus on protamine and its interaction with heparin. Notably, protamine is able to antagonize not only unfractionated heparin (UFH) but also low molecular weight heparins to various degrees. Protamine-allergic and anaphylactoid systemic reactions may affect up to 1 in 10 people and should be prevented and treated early.
A Rare Case of Early-Onset Postpneumonectomy Syndrome After Right Pneumonectomy in Patient with Small Cell Carcinoma Right Lung
Authors: Soni Richa , Mandal Banashree , Negi Sunder L. , Singh Harkant , Mandal Meenakshi , Singh Nehal 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Postpneumonectomy syndrome (PPS) is a rare, life-threatening complication characterized by dynamic airway obstruction due to mediastinal rotation at any time point following pneumonectomy. This can produce life-threatening respiratory and cardiovascular complications. We report a case who developed PPS following right pneumonectomy in a 55-year-old female patient with small cell carcinoma (SCC) right lung.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Objective:
This study aims to determine the clinical characteristics, treatment methods, and outcomes of individuals diagnosed with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) at a single tertiary center in Saudi Arabia.

Materials and Methods:
This is a retrospective study conducted in a single tertiary center at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The clinical characteristics, treatment methods, and outcomes from patients with sJIA between January 2012 and December 2022 and diagnosed before the age of 14 years were collected at diagnosis, at 3 months, and at 12 months intervals.

Results:
Out of 21 patients, 52% were female, with an average age at diagnosis of 6 years. The majority (73%) presented with fever, arthritis, and rash. Initial treatment involved steroids (59%), methotrexate (24%), and tocilizumab. Three months posttreatment, 73% showed improvement, and five patients had active disease. After 1 year, 5 out of 15 patients persisted with symptoms, necessitating additional treatments. The average follow-up duration was 50 months, with 73% achieving remission, but one patient died due to an allergic reaction to tocilizumab.

Conclusions:
The study highlights the heterogeneity of sJIA at presentations. The disparities in treatment reflect evolving guidelines and medications availability. The study emphasizes the importance of a national registry as well as the development of local recommendations.
Comparative study of conventional exfoliative cytology and centrifuged liquid-based cytology in oral leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma patients
Authors: Jayabalan R. , Murugesan Ambika , Balakrishnan Sekar , Ramesh Maya 
Published: July 2024

Background:
This study aims to compare the efficacy between conventional exfoliative cytology (EC) and centrifuged liquid-based cytology (CLBC) in control, leukoplakia, and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Oral leukoplakia and oral cancer require an early definitive diagnosis for better prognostic outcome. Oral EC, a minimally invasive technique that involves the examination of desquamated cells from the tissue surfaces used as a method of early diagnosis. CLBC is a modified technique that is used to achieve improved quality of the cytology findings.

Materials and Methods:
A comparative study was done in 30 subjects, of which, 10 cases from control group, 10 oral leukoplakia, and 10 OSCC cases. These subjects were selected according to the appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria. The cases in each group underwent conventional as well as CLBC. The comparison was carried out between these groups with respect to the cellular and background stromal factors. Appropriate qualitative evaluation of the samples was collected and statistical analysis was done using the Chi-squared test. The significance level of value was P < 0.05.

Results:
Significant results were obtained for certain parameters such as cellular overlap clear background, uniform distribution in control, leukoplakia, and OSCC with a P = 0.004**, P = 0.001**, P = 0.006** using CLBC.

Conclusion:
CLBC is better and give clearer vision as compared to conventional cytology and can be used in the early diagnosis.
Is Physical Activity Related to Depression and Anxiety among Adults? Observations from a Noncommunicable Disease Screening Clinic in North India
Authors: Verma Madhur , Kaur Amandeep , Upneja Ankush , Dhoat Preeti , Aneja Jitender , Kakkar Rakesh 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Physical activity (PA) offers innumerable benefits and is a promising intervention against common mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety. We examined the association between PA and depression or anxiety in adults.

Materials and Methods:
A study was conducted between March 2021 and August 2022 using a cross-sectional study design. We recruited 334 participants >40 years of age from the noncommunicable disease (NCD) screening clinic of a tertiary care institute in North India. Health-enhancing PA (HEPA) was estimated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while depression and anxiety were screened using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scales. Bivariate and univariate analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 to depict our results.

Results:
Engagement in HEPA was 23.4%. The HEPA depicted significant socioeconomic disparities. The mean total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were considerably higher in the HEPA active group, despite having lower GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scale scores. The prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms was 59.0% and 13.4%. PA depicted better odds against depression but not against anxiety symptoms.

Conclusions:
Low HEPA engagement in adults is a matter of concern, and it is high time we look beyond NCDs toward the risk factors. It is essential to incorporate PA counseling universally and not be restricted to a particular clinical department to realize its full potential in restraining the growing NCD burden.
