Authors: Nilla Saima Sharif , Khan Md Anisur Rahman , Khan Md Mahmudur Rahman , Ahsan Dewan Ali , Mustafa Md Ghulam 
Published: December 2012

The bacteriological quality of mola fish (Amblypharyngodon mola) from three local fish markets as fresh and as frozen from three departmental chain shops of Dhaka metropolis were analyzed. The microbial quality parameters varied with different sources and the quality was found to be poor for local market fish samples. In total 24 samples were considered for bacteriological quality analysis and 10 pathogenic isolates for antibiotic sensitivity test to 12 antibiotics. The total bacterial count ranged from 1.8 ± 0.25×104 to 6.5 ± 0.75 × 106 cfu/g for fresh and 5.5 ± 0.55 × 103 to 7.0 ± 0.80 × 105 cfu/g for frozen mola. The highest total coliform count of mola was 8.0 ± 0.55 × 104 and 6.1 ± 0.40 × 103 cfu/g for local market and departmental chain shop, respectively. All fresh and frozen samples were observed having high quantity of E. coli above 102 cfu/g. Furthermore, Salmonella-Shigella was identified in 67% samples (75% of fresh and 58% of frozen samples) varied from 0.9 ± 0.00 ×102 to 5.3 ± 0.30 × 103 cfu/g whereas Vibrio spp.was confirmed in 79% samples (83% of fresh and 75% of frozen samples) of which 90% samples exceeded 102 cfu/g. Similar pattern was observed in Staphylococcus spp. with 83% of fresh and 58% of frozen samples (63% of total samples) beyond 103 cfu/g. In case of antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the indicator and pathogenic isolates, all of them were resistant to amoxicillin and penicillin. Most of the isolates were sensitive to bacitracin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin and streptomycin. The findings proved that mola fish under this study was more or less contaminated and local fish market samples were highly privileged with food borne pathogens which confirmed the unhygienic condition of the market as well as the presence of antibiotic resistance bacteria in mola fish may threat to public health safety.

Authors: Nasiruddin Munira , Roy Rasel Chandra 
Published: December 2012

A survey of rice field insect pests was conducted during the rice growing seasons in two areas of Hathazari, Chittagong for a period of one year to prepare a preliminary list of rice field insect pests, in three rice growing seasons (Boro, Aus and Aman). During the study period 35 species belonging to 30 genera under 13 families under four economically important insect orders were recorded. These were: order Hemiptera- five families with 14 species, order Orthoptera- four families with nine species, order Lepidoptera- three families with 11 species and order- Coleoptera- one family with one species. On the basis of numerical records of the rice field insect pests, the ranking of the seasons was: Boro > Aman > Aus;of the stages was: Seedling > Transplanting > Flowering; of the orders was: Hemiptera > Orthoptera > Lepidoptera > Coleoptera; and of the spots was: Spot 2 > Spot 1.

Published: December 2012

About 185 leather processing industries have been operating in Hazaribagh and discharging solid and liquid wastes to the downstream areas of the river Buriganga and to the canals around. The physico-chemical parameters and biological examination of tannery effluents sewage water were carried out in relation to phytoplankton abundance at four selected points (viz. Kamrangirchar: K1, K2 and K3; Hazaribagh Tempo Stand: H) of the Buriganga river from October 2009 to September 2010. Altogether 27 genera of Phytoplankton belonging to the families Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Cryptophyceae were identified from the above points. Merismopedia was the most abundant form (3.6×104 - 2.4×106 cell/L) compared to those (1.4-72 ×103 cell/l) genera of other phytoplankton (Nitzschia, Synedra, Pleurosigma, Euglena , Strusastrum, Crucigenia, Ourococcus ) at K1, the station closest to the tannery effluent outfall. The abundance of Merismopedia increased gradually (K2: 6.45×104 - 3.68×106, K3: 6.95×104 -1.68x107 and H: 1.0×105 - 2.06×107) along with the decreasing pollutant concentrations of the water.

Questions autour de la psychosociologie : fondements et technique de l'intervention
Authors: Guerra Giovanni 
Published: December 2012

Résumé Dès son origine, la revue Connexions a été un lieu ouvert de débat et de réflexion autour de la psychosociologie. Dans l’analyse de deux articles parus dans les premiers numéros de 1972, on met en évidence la présence de deux thématiques : le positionnement épistémologique de la psychosociologie et la théorie de la technique de l’intervention. Ces deux thématiques sont toujours actuelles. Ce qui peut apparaître comme des questions non résolues constitue en réalité l’expression du caractère singulier de la psychosociologie : l’interrogation continue des catégories de construction du réel conduit inévitablement à l’interrogation de la psychosociologie sur ses propres fondements théoriques et techniques.
La cybernétique « américaine » au sein du structuralisme « français »
Authors: Geoghegan Bernard Dionysius 
Published: December 2012

À partir de la lecture des archives de correspondances, archives institutionnelles et travaux publiés, cet article reconstruit la convergence des sujets d’intérêt de la Fondation Rockefeller, de Roman Jakobson et de Claude Lévi-Strauss autour de la cybernétique entre les années 1940 et 1950. Le soutien de la Fondation pour ces deux chercheurs a contribué à la formation d’une synthèse partielle de la cybernétique et de son intégration dans les conceptions de recherche structurelle de l’après-guerre et a favorisé le transfert des conceptions américaines et des sciences de l’ingénieur dans les sciences humaines européennes. Mais cette synthèse et ce transfert ont été contestés et partiels : durant les années 1950 les travaux de Jakobson et de Lévi-Strauss se sont écartés des conceptions véhiculées par la Fondation mais ont aussi largement divergé l’un de l’autre.
Explorer les sept mers
Authors: Torma Franziska 
Published: December 2012

L’intention de cet article est de montrer comment les expéditions océanographiques ont, simultanément, redéfini et popularisé les tropiques comme un espace de science postcoloniale et l’imaginaire européen occidental. Entre 1950 et 1970 n’était pas simplement un champ de recherche scientifique. Jacques-Yves Cousteau et Hans Hass, figures populaires, ont navigué à travers les sept mers et réalisé de nombreux films documentaires. Les animaux marins, et la future discipline du comportement animal, devenaient indispensables à la perception populaire des tropiques. En saisissant la science et la perception comme étant deux pratiques reliées, structurant le contact des Européens avec l’environnement océanique, cet article met l’accent sur la continuité et la discontinuité des idéologies et pratiques coloniales. Par exemple, la « nouvelle » science du comportement animal a été structurée par des anciennes vues coloniales, du « paradis », les pratiques à bord des navires de recherche pourraient être rapprochées des aventures de pirates et la représentation du paysage tropical reliée à la tradition des films ethnographiques. Méthodologiquement, un concept multi-niveau de la connaissance qui combine l’imagination et la science, le discours et la pratique, est essentiel : la connaissance n’est pas seulement l’information obtenue par l’observation de la faune marine, mais plutôt un modèle d’interprétation par lequel les gens perçoivent le monde et donnent un sens à leur propre existence dans un environnement donné. Le but de cet article est d’esquisser un concept de la « tropicalité » dans une perspective océanique : les stéréotypes coloniaux des mers ne présentent pas seulement une « violence épistémique » (Spivak) mais aussi une façon de produire de nouvelles significations pour les environnements non européens dans cette époque de décolonisation et de transition globale.
La science et la victime statistique
Authors: Jasanoff Sheila 
Published: December 2012

L’apparition des litiges de masse dans le dernier tiers du XXe siècle a accéléré la modernisation d’une institution qui n’était pas préparée à une approche standardisée de la résolution des litiges. Face aux grandes catastrophes technologiques, en particulier, les tribunaux ont peiné à réformer à la fois leurs procédures et leurs méthodes d’investigation dans le but de traiter les demandes multiples concernant plusieurs instances à la fois. Avec pour cas d’étude les litiges liés aux implants mammaires au gel de silicone, cet article entend démontrer qu’en cherchant à associer des préoccupations d’ordre judiciaire visant la justice individuelle avec des préoccupations d’ordre administratif visant la rapidité, l’efficacité et l’économie, on a produit des anomalies. Les témoignages du médecin clinicien et de la victime sont devenus moins pertinents car les voies de recours judiciaire prennent en compte les préjudices infligés aux groupes de plaignants. Le droit subjectif du corps humain est soumis à des corrélations statistiques entre le risque et les recours collectifs. Par ailleurs, de nouvelles règles de preuves ont attribué au juge l’autorité compétente pour mener l’enquête (dont le jury était détenteur), privilégiant les connaissances générales et le bon sens de la magistrature, au détriment de ceux du jury. Il est certes possible que ces changements accélèrent le traitement des affaires, mais cet article remet en cause la légitimité du choix des tribunaux dans les affaires liées à la question du risque et de la justice sociale dans les sociétés industrielles contemporaines.
Quand l’amateur rend le numérique analogique

Published: December 2012

Alors que les technologies recourant à la numérisation ne cessent de croître et d’étendre leur périmètre, nombreux sont ceux qui s’interrogent sur les effets de ces outils. Soutenu par une recherche de terrain, cet article s’intéresse à la façon dont de jeunes musicien·ne·s de rock, rap et techno utilisent ces technologies. Les observations montrent la grande diversité des modes d’appropriation et plus généralement qu’on ne saurait envisager le « numérique » sans sa composante analogique.
Die belang van die verrekening van metateoretiese vertrekpunte vir prediking en wetenskaplike navorsing in Homiletiek
Authors: De Wet Fritz W. , Pieterse Hennie J.C. 
Published: December 2012

Hierdie artikel vorm deel van die tweede fase van die navorsingsprojek Metateoretiese vertrekpunte in Praktiese Teologie. Die probleem wat ondersoek word, het te doen met die onvermoë om rekening te hou met verskuiwings in die onderliggende metateoretiese voorveronderstellings in die praksis van prediking, sowel as in die aanpak van wetenskaplike navorsing in die vakgebied van Homiletiek. Ons fokus op die invloed van metateoretiese voorveronderstellings in die kommunikatiewe dimensie van werklikheidsbeskouing, hermeneutiese beskouinge rakende die kommunikatiewe veld wat werksaam is tydens die homiletiese proses, asook op die verrekening van wetenskapsteoretiese beskouinge met die oog op ’n verantwoordelike uitvoer van die wetenskaplike taak. Die artikel kulmineer in ’n beskrywing van hoe een van die navorsers ’n voorbeeld van sy eie onlangse homiletiese navorsing rakende profetiese prediking in ’n konteks van armoede interpreteer, wanneer die onderliggende metateoretiese standpunte eksplisiet verreken word.The importance of reckoning with metatheoretical assumptions in preaching and scientific research in Homiletics. This article forms part of the second phase of the research project Metatheoretical assumptions in Practical Theology. The research problem has to do with the inability to reckon with shifts in underlying metatheoretical assumptions in the praxis of preaching as well as in embarking on scientific research in the field of homiletics. We focus on the influence of metatheoretical assumptions in the communicative dimension of worldview, hermeneutic notions regarding the communicative field at work in the homiletic process and theoretical notions underlying the researcher’s approach in complying with the scientific task of homiletics in a responsible manner. The article culminates in a description of one of the researchers’ interpretation of an example of his own recent research in prophetic preaching in a context of poverty when the underlying metatheoretical assumptions were explicitly reckoned with.
Die noodsaak daarvan om metateoretiese vertrekpunte in ’n prakties-teologiese wetenskapsbeskouing en -beoefening te verreken
Authors: De Klerk Ben J. , De Wet Fritz W. , Pieterse Hennie J.C. 
Published: December 2012

Hierdie artikel is die vierde publikasie wat uit die navorsingsprojek Metateoretiese vertrekpunte in die praktiese teologie voortvloei. In die voorafgaande artikels is ’n saak uitgemaak vir die noodsaak daarvan om rekening te hou met die eie metateoretiese vertrekpunte rakende werklikheidsbeskouing en met kriteria waarvolgens die hermeneutiese proses wat in handelinge in die navorsingsveld van die praktiese teologie ter sprake kom, geïnterpreteer word. In hierdie artikel verskuif die fokus na die metateoretiese vertrekpunte wat in die navorser se wetenskapsbeskouing en -beoefening ter sprake kom. Die rol wat metateoretiese faktore speel in die manier waarop die wese en taak van die wetenskap gedefinieer word, kry aandag. ’n Poging word aangewend om ’n model te ontwerp waarin die teenwoordigheid en uitwerking van die navorser se metateoretiese vertrekpunte integraal verreken word in die proses van prakties-teologiese wetenskapsbeoefening. ’n Huidige navorsingsprojek, waarmee een van die medeskrywers van hierdie artikel besig is, word bespreek as voorbeeld van die impak wat metateoretiese vertrekpunte op die ontwerp van ’n studie kan hê.The necessity of taking account of meta-theoretical assumptions in the scientific approach and task envisaged for practical theology. This article is the fourth in the research project Meta-theoretical assumptions in practical theology. In the preceding articles, a case was made for the necessity of expressing the own meta-theoretical assumptions regarding the view on reality and the hermeneutical process involved in understanding the actions of faith in the research field of practical theology. In this article, the focus is on the meta-theoretical assumptions at play in the researchers’ vision for engaging the research field on a scientific level. The role that meta-theoretical factors play in defining the nature and task of scientific activity, is discussed. An attempt is made to develop a model that integrates the presence and effects of meta-theoretical assumptions in the researchers’ specific vision regarding the scientific task of practical theology. An example of an actual research project is given to illustrate the impact that meta-theoretical assumptions can have on the design of a scientific study.
Effectiveness of HP-hMG vs r-FSH in Patients undergoing IVF/ICSI Cycles with Moderate Male Factor Infertility
Authors: Dalal Rutvij Jay 
Published: December 2012

ABSTRACTAimThe aim of this case-control study was to compare the efficacy of highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (HPhMG) vs recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (r-FSH) treatments following GnRH agonist suppression in patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with moderate male factor infertility in terms of oocyte and embryo quality and clinical pregnancy outcomes.Materials and methodsA total of 240 infertile women were treated with HP-hMG group (n: 120 patients) or (r-FSH group, n: 120 patients) following GnRH agonist suppression (long regimen). Inclusion criteria for the study groups were infertility due to moderate oligoastheno-teratospermia with no associated female infertility factor, previous ART cycles <2, female patients aged 19 to 35 years with normal basal FSH, regular ovulatory cycles and BMI <30 kg/m2.ResultsTreatment durations and gonadotropin doses were similar in both groups. Cycle cancellation rates, clinical pregnancy and miscarriage rates, total and metaphase II oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate, number of embryos transferred were all similar in both groups. The clinical pregnancy rates were 45.9% (n: 50/109) in the r-FSH group and 40.4% (n: 44/109) in the HP-hMG group.ConclusionHP-hMG is effective as r-FSH in terms of oocyte and embryo quality and clinical pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing ICSI with moderate male factor infertility.How to cite this articleDalal RJ, Pai H, Palshetkar N.

First Postembryo Transfer Beta-hCG Level and Pregnancy Outcome in an Assisted Reproductive Technology Program
Authors: Pandiyan Radha , Jayachandran Krithika Devi , Natarajan Pandiyan 
Published: December 2012

ABSTRACT

Aim
To evaluate the prognostic value of first postembryo transfer beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels in pregnancy outcome in an assisted reproductive technology (ART) program.

Subjects
Seventy-one women with an initial beta-hCG value of greater than 5 mIU/ml postembryo transfer in the ART program were taken in to the study. The beta-hCG test was done 14 days after embryo transfer. The period of study was from January 2008 to August 2010.

Observations
A significant correlation was found in beta-hCG values between viable and nonviable pregnancies. In women who had a day 2 embryo transfer the mean beta-hCG value was 608 ± 580 mIU/ml, in comparison to women who had a day 5 transfer 1,527 ± 2,024 mIU/ml, and this was statistically significant.
Women who had a single embryo transfer had a mean betahCG level of 168 mIU/ml, two embryos 464 mIU/ml and three embryos 612 mIU /ml.
Mean beta-hCG value was highest in women who developed gestational diabetes [2,074 mIU/ml] women with pregnancyinduced hypertension (PIH) had a mean beta-hCG value of 674 mIU/ml, and with antepartum hemorrhage the value was lower 220 mIU/ml.

Conclusion
To summarize, beta-hCG level is an useful marker for prognosticating early pregnancy well being, for predicting multiple pregnancies. When interpreting the first beta-hCG level uniformly after 2 weeks of embryo transfer, day of transfer of embryos should be taken into account. The number of embryos transferred does not alter the beta-hCG level significantly. BetahCG level implications in pregnancy complications, like gestational diabetes (GDM), PIH, APH, require further research and would be a useful tool for early screening and surveillance of pregnancy.

Risk Factors for Ceramic Liner Fracture after Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Traina Francesco , De Fine Marcello , Bordini Barbara , Toni Aldo 
Published: December 2012

The aim of this study was to detect risk factors for ceramic liner fractures. 26 cementless ceramic on ceramic (COC) total hip arthroplasties (THA) revised because of ceramic liner fracture in 24 patients were compared with 49 well-functioning COC THA performed in 49 patients. Demographic parameters, type of ceramic of the liner, size and neck length of the femoral head, cup abduction angle, cup anteversion, femoral off-set, height of the centre of rotation and the incidence of noisy hips during follow-up examination were compared. A greater number of cups placed outside the optimal range of cup anteversion was found in the fracture group (p = 0.03). An audible noise was detected in 21 cases (80.7%) in the fracture group and in 3 cases (6.1%) in the non-fracture group (p = 0.001). A cup anteversion angle out of the optimal range of 15°+/-10° was found to be a risk factor for ceramic liner fracture and the presence of a noisy hip frequently anticipated the failure. In our opinion neck-to-cup impingement with head subluxation and edge loading on the liner rim could have an important role in the onset of noise and subsequent liner failure, and cup malposition contributes to this mechanism of failure.

Published: December 2012

Purpose Photo-crosslinking is a technique that can accelerate the development of novel polymeric biomaterials. Methods Here we show the development of a combinatorial platform to synthesize numerous synthetic biodegradable and biocompatible networks by photo-crosslinking mixtures of macromers. Results Combinations of dimethacrylate-terminated macromers based on hydrophobic D,L-lactide (DLLA), trimethylene carbonate (TMC), ∊-caprolactone (CL), and hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) were crosslinked into polymer networks with widely differing properties. The interaction of cells with the network surfaces was assessed by an in vitro cell seeding experiment in which cell proliferation was assessed using a DNA proliferation assay. Conclusions In this way, a hydrophilic material was identified that unexpectedly supported the proliferation of cells very well.
The “Sovereign Individual” and the “Ascetic Ideal”: On a Perennial Misreading of the Second Essay of Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality
Authors: Rukgaber Matthew 
Published: December 2012

Abstract
This article supports Lawrence Hatab's and Christa Davis Acampora's interpretation that the “sovereign individual” is not Nietzsche's positive ethical ideal. I draw on overlooked evidence from the Nachlass that bears on the notion of sovereignty, in conjunction with offering a close reading of the passages concerning this figure within the second and third essays of On the Genealogy of Morality. I argue that the second essay is not concerned with the fundamentals of agency; rather, it is focused on promising as a moral phenomenon. I demonstrate how the ambiguous traits attributed to the sovereign individual are deconstructed one after another, resulting in this figure appearing to be the culmination of the history of asceticism and moral responsibility. The sovereign individual is the modern individual who only stands apart from the herd insofar as the herd instinct has been perfectly internalized.
Apollinian Scientia Sexualis and Dionysian Ars Erotica?: On the Relation Between Michel Foucault's History of Sexuality and Friedrich Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy
Authors: Haueis Philipp 
Published: December 2012

Abstract
This article explores how a nonreductionist account of Nietzsche's influence on Michel Foucault can enrich our understanding of key concepts in singular works of both philosophers. I assess this exegetical strategy by looking at the two dichotomies Apollinian/Dionysian and ars erotica/scientia sexualis in The Birth of Tragedy and volume 1 of The History of Sexuality, respectively. After exploring the relation between these two dichotomies, I link the science of sexuality to the Apollinian art instinct via the existence of Socratic culture and argue against the “pleasure of analysis” as a sublated form of (Dionysian) ars erotica. These considerations lead to the notions of history in Nietzsche's and Foucault's philosophies that result in situating the polyvalent Ursprung of Greek tragedy and the descent of ars erotica and scientia sexualis in an antimetaphysical and nonteleological picture of historical development.
