Seed Germination and Early Seedling Growth of Pterocarpus Osun (Craib) on Different Sowing Media and Soil Amended With Different Organic Manure
Authors: Olujobi O.J. , Imole T.D , Olowere A.C. 
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the effect of different sowing media and soil amendments on seed germination and early seedling growth of Pterocarpus osun. The study was carried out at the nursery site of the Department of Forest Resources and Wildlife Management, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti. Sixty seeds were sown in plastic bowls filled with the different sowing media (sawdust, river sand, and topsoil). Watering was done twice daily, while seed germination was monitored for four weeks. The number of seeds germinated per day was recorded for each treatment till no further germination was observed. For the growth experiment, seedlings with relatively uniform height were selected and transplanted into polythene pots filled with topsoil amended with different organic manure (poultry dropping, cow dung, poultry dropping + cow dung). The treatments were replicated ten (10) times. Growth parameters viz; (heights, stem diameter, and number of leaves) were measured over 12 weeks. The study revealed that seeds sown in sawdust had the lowest mean germination time (MGT) of 19.93 days. Time spread of germination (TSG) shows that seeds sown in river sand had the longest germination circle of 12 days. While seeds sown in sawdust had the highest germination percentage (GP) of 96.65 %. The result revealed that seedlings grown on soil amended with cow dung performed best for all the parameters measured throughout the growth period. It is recommended that sawdust should be adopted for germination of Pterocarpus osun and cow dung should be used as organic manure for raising the seedlings in the nursery.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
We present the first fluorine measurements in 12 normal K giants belonging to the Galactic thin and thick disks using spectra obtained with the Phoenix infrared spectrometer on the 2.1 m telescope at Kitt Peak. Abundances are determined from the (1−0) R9 2.3358 μm feature of the molecule HF. Additionally, sodium abundances are derived in 25 giants in the thin disk, thick disk, and halo using the Na i line at 2.3379 μm. We report fluorine abundances for thin and thick disk stars in the metallicity range −0.7 < [Fe/H] < 0. We add two abundance measurements for stars with [Fe/H] < 0.5 dex, which are at a critical metallicity range to constrain models. We find a larger dispersion in fluorine abundances than sodium abundances despite both species having similar overall uncertainties due to atmospheric parameters, suggesting this dispersion is real and not observational. The dispersion is slightly larger in the thick disk than the thin. The thin and thick disk average [F/Fe] for our sample of stars combined with the literature differ by 0.03 dex. The observations are compared to available chemical evolution models.
La psychologie clinique transculturelle
Authors: Sturm Gesine 
Published: May 2024

Cette fiche propose une brève introduction aux fondements conceptuels et aux orientations permettant de penser la question culturelle dans la clinique. Trois conceptions sont discutées dans leurs implications pour le travail psychologique : la culture en tant que système symbolique, la culture en tant que manière de définir des appartenances, la culture dans le sens d’un « raffinement » des productions culturelles.

Published: May 2024

Les politiques de la transition s’inscrivent-elles dans une approche d’égalité territoriale ? En analysant la distribution des fonds par quatre financeurs publics majeurs, nous souhaitons évaluer la transition écologique en termes de justice spatiale. Pour ce faire, nous mobilisons un cadre d’analyse pluridisciplinaire, déployant des méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives. L’analyse statistique et cartographique nous permet de mettre en évidence des territoires sous-dotés et sur-dotés. Nous cherchons ensuite à identifier les déterminants quantitatifs du captage de financement, avant d’observer les facteurs locaux, de nature qualitative, qui expliquent les inégales capacités des collectivités territoriales à capter les subventions. Au final, l’article montre que la régulation politique locale apparaît cruciale pour comprendre la capacité différenciée des territoires à capter des fonds. Dès lors, l’insuffisante prise en compte de la dimension territoriale par les bailleurs de la transition empêche cette dernière d’apparaître comme un levier de lutte contre les inégalités socio-spatiales.
Dans les paradoxes du virage numérique en santé
Authors: Ghis Malfilatre Marie 
Published: May 2024

De nombreux acteurs – politiques, industriels, médicaux – plaident pour « accélérer le virage numérique » en santé. Dans un contexte de réduction des ressources et des dépenses allouées à ce secteur, de crise de l’hôpital public et de la médecine libérale, la transformation numérique du système de santé suscite de fortes attentes et porte de nombreuses promesses. Cet article propose d’analyser le déploiement de la santé numérique en partant du point de vue des activités concrètes des médecins qui la mettent en œuvre et des contextes dans lesquels elle prend place, ainsi que les différents sens que les professionnels lui donnent. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur une ethnographie du travail médical au sein de SOS Médecins, la médecine d’urgence libérale offrant un terrain original pour étudier les manières dont les acteurs se saisissent des technologies numériques et les conditions dans lesquelles ces dernières peuvent être investies de qualités soignantes.
¿Podía el Preste Juan bloquear o desviar las aguas del Nilo?Fortuna de una leyenda medieval en la Península Ibérica a lo largo de los siglos xvi y xvii
Authors: de Lama de la Cruz Víctor 
Published: May 2024

En los siglos xvi y xvii se difundió ampliamente por España y Portugal la leyenda según la cual el Preste Juan podría bloquear o desviar el curso del Nilo, hecho que ocasionaría funestas consecuencias para Egipto. Para conocer los orígenes de esta leyenda en Occidente, debemos remontarnos a principios del siglo xiv, cuando se tuvo el convencimiento de que los dominios de este emperador se encontraban en tierras africanas, concretamente en Etiopía. Pero lo que no podían sospechar los viajeros occidentales es que ya circulaban versiones de dicha leyenda mucho antes de que se situase en África el reino del Preste Juan, incluso con antelación a la aparición en la escena política del siglo xii de este rey sacerdote que vendría a vengar a los reinos cristianos del fracaso de las Cruzadas.
Characters in Search of an Ending in Laura Wade’s Stage Adaptation of Jane Austen’s The Watsons
Authors: Parey Armelle 
Published: May 2024

This article proposes to consider the notion of transmission in relation to the process of adaptation since adaptations, whatever form they take, bring a text—transmit a text—to a new audience while submitting the text to a process of transformation and appropriation. Jane Austen’s relatively small body of work has given rise to countless television or film adaptations, stage adaptations but also narrative expansions and continuations that all revisit Austen’s characters and plots. The intermedial adaptation under consideration here is that of a fragment written by Austen in 1805, The Watsons, by English playwright and screenwriter Laura Wade in 2018. The aim of this article is to examine how Wade’s play establishes and reflects on its own status as an adaptation in the twenty-first century while tackling the issue of authenticity inevitably raised by adaptation and continuation. Following a few remarks on the adaptation of unfinished texts, I will examine the metafiction and metatheatricality at work before focusing on the issue of the ending.
Espaces et politiques de la frontière au Groenland. Les projets miniers comme voie de territorialisation de l’État ?
Authors: Bailleul Pia 
Published: May 2024

Depuis les années 1990, le Groenland développe l’industrie minière autour de la « zone frontière », stratégie d’exploration et de cartographie des sous-sols. Cette orientation vise à permettre l’accession économique à l’indépendance vis-à-vis du Danemark, fondant une définition nationaliste de la frontière des ressources. Le projet minier de Kuannersuit, qui permettrait d’amorcer la bascule vers l’exploitation, génère pourtant entre 2013 et 2021 une opposition sociale massive. S’appuyant sur des données ethnographiques relatives à ce conflit récoltées entre 2016 et 2022, ainsi que sur des documents industriels établis par la compagnie minière, cet article examine ce conflit à l’aune de son engagement dans cette frontière nationale. De quelles manières l’intervention industrielle affecte-t-elle son déploiement, et dans quelle mesure l’État opère-t-il sa propre territorialisation par le développement industriel ? L’article souligne d’abord le phénomène de redéfinition spatiale autour d’un volume de ressources contrôlées par l’État – un volume frontalier – généré par l’enclavement minier. Il analyse ensuite la territorialisation par la décharge au secteur privé. Il interroge pour finir le paradoxe de cette frontière se faisant simultanément espace de ressources et de régulation étatique, et espace de spéculation et d’appropriation marchande. Il se veut ainsi une contribution à la littérature sur les zones frontières et l’extractivisme.
Processus de marchandisation de la faune sauvage, tensions et conflits dans le parc transfrontalier du Grand Limpopo (parc national Kruger en Afrique du Sud et parc national du Limpopo au Mozambique)
Authors: Mazzero Hugo 
Published: May 2024

Dans cet article, nous analysons les conséquences de la coprésence d’acteurs variés (populations locales, acteurs de la conservation, touristes) au sein du parc du Grand Limpopo en termes d’utilisation de l’espace et des ressources, en l’occurrence la faune sauvage. L’article porte plus précisément sur les liens de coopération et les relations transfrontalières entre le parc national Kruger en Afrique du Sud et le parc national du Limpopo au Mozambique, deux parcs nationaux contigus qui font l’objet d’un processus de conservation transfrontalière (parc du Grand Limpopo) à partir de 2002. L’objectif de l’article est de mettre en perspective différents processus de marchandisation de la faune sauvage (tourisme de vision, mode de production conservationniste, braconnage), et d’analyser dans quelle mesure ces processus sont, à la fois, un révélateur et un amplificateur des tensions et des conflits qui existent entre les catégories d’acteurs de part et d’autre de la frontière entre l’Afrique du Sud et le Mozambique. Après avoir exposé des éléments d’analyse sur les forts contrastes qui existent entre les deux parcs nationaux en termes de développement et de densité faunistique ; nous proposons une typologie des catégories d’acteurs en présence pensées en fonction de différents rapports à la faune sauvage. Enfin, l’article analyse les tensions et les conflits qui résultent de la diversité des logiques et des pratiques spatiales questionnant la pérennité du processus de conservation transfrontalière en cours. Cette recherche propose une analyse conjointe des dynamiques liées aux frontières et aux politiques de conservation en s’appuyant notamment sur des données empiriques. Nous nous basons sur des données issues d’enquêtes sur le terrain en Afrique du Sud et au Mozambique, auprès de touristes dans le parc national Kruger (n = 135), de communautés locales dans le parc national Limpopo (n = 87), et de personnes liées à la gestion des parcs ou au secteur de la conservation (n = 15).

Published: May 2024

Introduction:
A substantial number of patients continue to have symptoms even after testing negative for COVID 19. Ours is a single-center, observational, cross-sectional study that describes the prevalent symptoms in patients who have recovered from mild-to-moderate COVID 19 disease.

Materials and Methods:
In a span of 3 months, from November 2020 to January 2021, we collected self-reported data from all post-COVID patients who consulted the post-COVID 19 outpatient department. Data on the pertinent history related to their diagnosis of COVID-19 disease like the date of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction positive and negative reports and length of stay in hospital were collected. Self-reported data were collected in simple Yes/No format for the presence of common respiratory and general post-COVID-19 symptoms. The final data were analyzed and presented using the using R software version 4.0.2.

Results:
The mean age of the patients was 42.89 years with majority being from the age group of above 50 years of age. The mean duration of hospital stay was found to be 14 ± 7 days. A higher percentage were admitted for >10 days among all age groups, more predominantly among >60 years of age. Only 5 male patients gave a history of receiving noninvasive ventilation. Significantly a greater number of females complained of fatigue. Other symptoms that were found more commonly in females were headache, loss of hearing, and wheeze.

Conclusion:
In our study, fatigue is the most common presenting symptoms followed by cough and breathlessness. Further evaluation and regular follow-up required to substantiate this observation.
Characterization of the infectivity of an Indonesian Zika virus strain in mammalian cell lines
Authors: Sievers Justus Thomas Obiajulu , Bowolaksono Anom , Tedjo Sasmono R. 
Published: May 2024

Objective:
To characterize the infection patterns and growth characteristics of the Zika virus (ZIKV) strain JMB-185 from Indonesia in various mammalian cell lines.

Methods:
ZIKV was grown in human (A549, HEK293, HepG2, Huh7, Jurkat, and THP-1) and non-human mammalian (RAW264.7, Vero, and Vero76) cell lines. Viral replication kinetics were measured using plaque assay, while intra- and extracellular viral RNA concentrations were assessed using RT-PCR. Flow cytometry was used to quantify the infected cells and cell viability was measured using an MTT assay. The ability of ZIKV to infect cell lines was visualized using a fluorescence immunostaining assay.

Results:
This ZIKV strain preferentially infected the lung, kidney, and liver cell lines A549, HEK293, Huh7, Vero, and Vero76, but not the immune cells Jurkat, RAW264.7, and THP-1. By contrast, the ZIKV showed no sign of infection in HepG2 cells, while maintaining viral titer over 3 days post-infection, with no infection recorded in immunostaining, no increase in viral RNA, and no indication of cell deterioration.

Conclusions:
The Indonesian ZIKV strain has a similar infection profile as other strains, except for its poor infectivity on HepG2 cells. Information on the growth characteristics of Indonesia ZIKV will help expand our understanding of the biology of ZIKV which will be useful for various applications including antiviral discovery.
Moisturizing Nanoemulgel of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Rhizome Extract Ameliorates Atopic Dermatitis-like Skin Lesions in Mice Model through Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin, Interleukin-13, and Interleukin-17
Authors: Suryawati Nyoman , Wardhana Made , Bakta I Made , Jawi Made 
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Various moisturizers have been developed for mild and moderate atopic dermatitis (AD). Turmeric (Curcuma longa), containing a potent anti-inflammatory substance, is one of the promising ingredient for moisturizers. By formulating turmeric into nanoemulgel preparation, cutaneous absorption is enhanced. This study aims to determine the effect of 1% turmeric rhizome extract moisturizing nanoemulgel on thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin (IL)-13, IL-17 levels, histopathological feature, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) value, and dermatitis score in an AD-like mouse model induced by dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB).

Methods:
This study used 35 female BALB/C mice aged 6–8 weeks, weighing 20–30 g. Mice were divided into the treatment group (DNCB and 1% turmeric rhizome extract moisturizing nanoemulgel) and the control group (DNCB and vehicle gel). The DNCB application was carried out twice a week, from day 14 to day 29. On day 30, skin tissue samples were taken to examine TSLP, IL-13, IL-17 levels, and histopathological examination.

Results:
The treatment group showed lower TSLP, IL-13, and skin tissue IL-17 levels than the control group (P < 0.05). In addition, applying 1% turmeric rhizome extract, moisturizing nanoemulgel improved the treatment group’s dermatitis score and histopathological features compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The 1% turmeric extract moisturizing nanoemulgel decreased the TEWL but was statistically insignificant compared to the control group (P > 0.05).

Conclusions:
Applying 1% turmeric rhizome extract moisturizing nanoemulgel ameliorates AD-like skin lesions by decreasing TSLP, IL-13, and IL-17 levels in the DNCB-induced BALB/c mouse model.

Authors: Das Suman , Naskar Somnath , Das Dilip Kumar 
Published: May 2024

Context:
Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) had been implemented in India to improve access to quality health care, reducing out-of-pocket (OOP) and catastrophic health expenditure.

Aims:
We aimed to evaluate the current status of RSBY in rural areas of a district in West Bengal.

Settings and Design:
A cross-sectional study was done in erstwhile “Burdwan Health District,” West Bengal.

Subjects and Methods:
This study was conducted from September 2016 to August 2018. Primary study units were below poverty line (BPL) families; members of selected families comprised the study subjects. The calculated sample size was 350 families, out of which 324 could be studied covering 22 blocks following multistage sampling technique. Data were collected by interviewing head of the family (HOF).

Statistical Analysis Used:
Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.

Results:
Awareness on different benefits and features of RSBY varied widely from 6.8% to 97.2%. Overall current enrollment rate was 79.6%, while 20.4% of families remained nonenrolled. On the multivariable logistic regression, type of family, socioeconomic status of the family, and education of HOF were significant variables predicting nonenrollment. Among enrolled BPL families, 24.0% and 8.1% utilized services under RSBY since their enrollment and in the last 1 year, respectively. OOP expenditure, nonprovision of free food, inadequate posthospital treatment, inattentiveness of doctor and hospital staff, etc., were major difficulties faced in utilization of services.

Conclusions:
Nonenrollment in RSBY was quite high in the area with few predicting variables. Low level of utilization of services was also noted with some obstacles.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:
Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder with significant consequences involving the joints, leading to debilitating functions. Prophylactic replacement therapy is limited in lower-middle-income countries, and often it is the episodic or intermittent factor replacement which is feasible. Although many tools are available to evaluate the assessment of joints at the time of initial contact, its utility in response evaluation to intervention is limited.

Materials and Methods:
In this quasi-experimental study, we compared the Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) and Functional Independence Score in Hemophilia (FISH) scores pre and postphysiotherapy with intermittent factor support.

Results:
Forty-eight patients with hemophilia (PwH) were screened, and 18 PwH consented and completed the treatment protocol. The mean duration of physiotherapy was 11 days, with an average total factor consumption of 120 U/Kg. The pre and postphysiotherapy HJHS was 40 ± 18.8 and 19.5 ± 11.9 with a standardized response mean (SRM) of −2.41 (95% confidence interval [CI] −3.25–−1.53) and FISH, 16.89 ± 3.44 and 22.33 ± 3.36 with SRM of 1.78 (195% CI.29–2.23). Both the SRMs were statistically significant (both the P values were 0.000).

Conclusion:
This study highlights the utility of HJHS and FISH in assessing responsiveness to intermittent prophylaxis and physiotherapy.

Objective:
The objective of the study was to identify the incidence of anxiety, depression, and stress in health-care workers managing COVID-19 patients in a tertiary care hospital in North India.

Methodology:
A cross-sectional online survey was conducted using Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 Questionnaire (Google Form). All health-care workers (HCWs) of the hospital were included in the study. HCWs with a past or current history of psychiatric illness and on psychotropic medication were excluded from the study.

Results:
Two hundred and twenty HCWs answered the questionnaire, of whom 114 (51.8%) were female. Of the 220, 128 (58.2%) were single, 97 (44.1%) were physicians. Level one exposure (direct interaction with COVID-19 patients) was seen in 111 (55.5%). One hundred and thirty-three (60.5%) HCWs worked for 8–12 h/day.

Conclusions:
Our findings highlight the factors which need to be taken into consideration to protect the mental well-being of doctors while fighting with a disaster that has major impacts on society worldwide.
