House of the Dragon et Game of Thrones : récurrence en variations sonores
Authors: Garnier Antoine 
Published: June 2024

L’agrégation de House of The Dragon à Game of Thrones pose des questions auxquelles une approche musicologique peut répondre du fait même que le compositeur Ramin Djawadi construit un vaste système ekphrastique donnant une cohérence sémiologique à la (aux deux) série(s). HOTD altère l’harmonie du système djawadien établi dans GOT : comment sonne alors l’ensemble GOT/HOTD ? Cet article veut éclairer les conséquences de la formation de ce polyptyque télésérial en expliquant comment Djawadi traite ces questions formelles, structurelles. Riche d’un recensement des musiques présentes dans l’oeuvre double, l’analyse aborde les questions des génériques d’ouverture, des signaux sonores, de la pratique sémiotique de l’instrumentation, de l’usage du système thématique et de son déploiement évolutif à travers l’oeuvre ainsi que du rapport en évolution entre les musiques diégétiques et extra-diégétiques. Cette lecture de loin d’un GOT du monde d’avant couplée à une lecture de près d’une HOTD tout juste entamée apporte un éclairage supplémentaire sur la récurrence en variation tellement propre à la télévision, elle-même feu central dans notre culture contemporaine.
« Affronter ensemble la crise sanitaire » : les effets de l’épidémie de Covid-19 sur les relations de travail en ehpad

Published: June 2024

Comment les professionnelles des établissements d’hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes ( ehpad ) ont – elles fait face à l’épidémie de Covid – 19 ? À partir d’une enquête menée entre 2021 et 2022 qui articule méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives, cet article vise à étudier la dimension relationnelle des conditions de travail dans les ehpad pendant la première année de la crise sanitaire. Il montre que les travailleuses de première ligne du secteur (aides-soignantes, infirmières, agentes de service) ont surmonté l’aggravation de leurs conditions de travail et l’incertitude liée à l’épidémie grâce à la solidarité qui s’est exprimée sous la forme d’un soutien moral mais aussi d’une forte entraide concrète au travail. L’épidémie a par ailleurs bouleversé l’organisation du travail en ehpad en amenant certains cadres à « remettre la blouse ». Si ces pratiques n’ont pas perduré sur le long terme faute d’une institutionnalisation de la part des établissements, les sentiments d’injustice et de manque de reconnaissance partagés par de nombreuses soignantes et agentes de service depuis la sortie de la crise risquent d’affaiblir leur engagement et la force des collectifs de travail à moyen et long terme.
Dialoguer avec les brahmanes : de l’œuvre missionnaire aux Voyages philosophes
Authors: Atlas Yasmine 
Published: June 2024

Cet article explore le dialogue avec les brahmanes – en tant que forme discursive et rapport aux croyances hindoues –, tel qu’il s’illustre dans l’apostolat jésuite avec le Père Roberto de Nobili avant d’être réinvesti, avec toujours plus d’ambiguïté et d’effets en retour, sous la plume de voyageurs comme François de La Boullaye-Le Gouz et François Bernier.
Apports de la carte géomorphologique et des matrices de Harris dans l’analyse des aménagements anthropiques : application à la grotte de La Garma (Espagne)
Authors: Kemper Jules , Delannoy Jean-Jacques , Jaillet Stéphane , Ontañon-Peredo Roberto , Arias Pablo 
Published: June 2024

La découverte récente d’importants aménagements anthropiques dans des sites ornés (ex : grotte Chauvet, Nawarla Gabarnmang) ou non (ex : grotte de Bruniquel), réinterroge notre connaissance sur ces espaces souterrains et sur la manière dont ils ont été investis par les sociétés passées. La grotte de La Garma (Cantabrie, Espagne) constitue un cas d’étude exemplaire. On y relève plusieurs structures anthropiques directement associées à d’anciennes phases d’occupation et d’ornementation magdaléniennes. Cette cavité constitue de ce fait un site idéal pour développer des outils méthodologiques visant à identifier et à décomposer le palimpseste des nombreuses interventions humaines passées. L’accent est mis dans cet article sur la zone VII de la Galerie Inférieure, éloignée de près de 300 m de l’entrée paléolithique. L’utilisation conjointe de la cartographie anthropo-géomorphologique à haute résolution spatiale et des diagrammes de Harris a permis d’identifier plusieurs périodes d’aménagement de la grotte depuis le Paléolithique jusqu’à la période médiévale. La cartographie géomorphologique a permis d’identifier d’anciens aménagements parfois difficiles de lecture ; les diagrammes de Harris ont permis de décomposer dans le temps les enchaînements des gestes humains et de rendre compte de leur répartition dans la grotte. Le croisement de ces deux approches permet de reconstituer l’évolution du paysage souterrain au temps de ses fréquentations passées et de souligner ses modifications anthropiques anciennes. Cette démarche méthodologique offre un nouveau regard sur cette cavité et sur l’engagement des sociétés passées au sein d’espaces souterrains parfois éloignés des zones d’entrée.
Evolving belief and being human: The emergence of religion in science and theology
Authors: Serfontein Bernice 
Published: June 2024

Every human society as well as almost all human life is infused with ethics. There is common acknowledgement that morality and ethics are indispensable in addressing the serious global challenges humanity is faced with today. However, we seemed to have lost our grip on what morality is. How do we best understand human morality and ethics? This research argues that responsible ethics rests on a credible understanding of what it means to be human. The following exploration of the emergence of religion within the science and religion discourse formed part of a series of three seminars that have as their main objective to address a giant void regarding ethical and moral reflection within our society. This research was part of the discourse of the first seminar with the following main research question: What do we learn from the empirical study of morality (in the evolutionary sciences, the neurosciences, cultural anthropology, sociology, and moral psychology) about the sources, functions and characteristics of morality, and its relation to religion? This study offers an exploration of our capacity for religious awareness and belief against the background of niche construction theory. The capacity for imagination seems to have contributed to human evolutionary success and consequently our religious disposition. This transdisciplinary study combines perspectives of some of the most prominent interlocutors in the contemporary discourse on the emergence of religious awareness. By integrating the numerous perspectives evident in this study, this research explores how evolutionary thought can be constructively appropriated to interdisciplinary theology and ethics.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article explores the origin of religious awareness and belief as part of a larger discourse on morality in history. The interdisciplinary conversation covers the fields of evolutionary anthropology and theology within the contemporary science-theology discourses.
Mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration presenting with pure motor neuropathy: A rare case report and review of the literature
Authors: Lakhanpal Vikas , Peer Sameer , Singh Ramandeep , Sharma Bhawna 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation is a collective term for neurodegenerative disorders characterized by excessive deposition of iron in the brain, especially in the globus pallidus and substantia nigra. Mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration mainly affects the pyramidal and extrapyramidal systems, and patients can present with various manifestations during disease progression, including gait disorder, dystonia, ataxia, swallowing dysfunction, neuropsychiatric abnormalities, cognitive disabilities, optic atrophy, and, sometimes, peripheral neuropathy. We report a patient of mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration with peripheral neuropathy as the predominant symptom.

Authors: Amiri Rezvan , Karimi Maskooni Mahbooba , Farsinejad Alireza , Karvar Mehran , Khalili Maryam , Aflatoonian Mahin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background:
Response to the current available treatments of melasma, dermal type, in particular, is usually gradual and can result in possible side effects.

Aim and Objectives:
In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) and topical 4% hydroquinone (HQ) in comparison with monotherapy using topical 4% HQ alone in the treatment of dermal type of melasma.

Materials and Methods:
This is a single-blinded, randomized, split-face clinical trial on twenty female patients with dermal type of melasma. Patients were asked to apply topical 4% HQ on both sides of their face at night for 6 months. In each participant, one side of the face was randomly chosen to receive monthly intradermal injections of PRGF for 3 sessions. Efficacy of the treatment was assessed using hemi melasma area and severity index (MASI) score, physician’s global assessment (PGA), and patients’ global assessment (PtGA).

Results:
Both groups revealed significant improvement in hemi-MASI score during the treatment course. Mean percentage of improvement at the end of study was 40.38 ± 6.04% and 33.42 ± 3.23% in the combination therapy and monotherapy groups, respectively (P = 0.31). PGA demonstrated excellent-to-marked improvement in melasma in 25% and 5% of patients in the combination therapy and monotherapy groups, respectively (P = 0.31). PtGA showed high levels of satisfaction in 15% of patients in the combination therapy group (vs. 0% in the monotherapy group) (P = 0.05).

Conclusion:
Differences between the two treatment groups in terms of hemi-MASI and PGA scores were not statistically significant; however, patients demonstrated higher satisfaction with combination of PRGF and topical 4% HQ compared with topical HQ alone. Thereby, combination of PRGF and topical 4% HQ can be suggested as a safe alternative therapeutic approach and may hold promise in the development of future therapeutic options for dermal type of melasma.

Abstract:
Current implant therapy is a frequently employed treatment for individuals who have lost teeth, as it offers functional and biological advantages over old prostheses. Concurrently, active exploration of intervention strategies aims to prevent the progression of peri-implant diseases and manage the existing peri-implant tissue damage. Indian Society of Periodontology has recognized the need for systematic documents to update the everyday clinical practice of general dental practitioners and has provided evidence-based consensus documents, namely good clinical practice recommendations from time to time to raise the oral health-related awareness and standards of oral health-care delivery across the country. The current clinical practice recommendations focused on peri-implant care to bridge the gap between academic theory and clinical practice by compiling evidence-based suggestions for preventing and treating peri-implant diseases. Twenty-eight subject experts across the country prepared these recommendations after a thorough literature review and group discussions. The document has been prepared in three sections covering peri-implant health and maintenance, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis. It will be a quick and concise reference for oral implant practitioners in patient management. The guidelines provide distinct definitions, signs, and symptoms, treatment required; recall visit specifications for plausible clinical case situations, and home-care recommendations regarding maintaining peri-implant health. The document advocates combined efforts of oral implant practitioners and the population at large with evidence-based, integrated, and comprehensive peri-implant care. By providing accessible, applicable guidance, these guidelines would empower dental professionals to uphold the well-being of implant patients and ensure the long-term success of implant therapy.
Expression dynamics of microRNA-223/Ras-associated binding protein 12 axis in Stage III/Grade B periodontal disease: A case–control analysis
Authors: Bandi Dhathri Priya , Sudhakar Uma , Parthasarathy Harinath , Rajamani Snophia Rani , Krishnaswamy Balasubramanian 
Published: June 2024

Abstract:

Background:
The intricate interplay between periodontal polymicrobial flora and an altered immune response is the central cause of periodontal disease. Multiple cell death methods and their interactions, along with the associated signaling pathways, significantly impact the initiation and advancement of periodontitis. Our speculation revolves around the role of the miR-223/Ras-associated binding protein (RAB12) signaling axis in regulating autophagy-induced pyroptosis, contributing to the pathophysiology of periodontitis. Thus, this study aimed to investigate miR-223 and RAB12 expression patterns in Stage III/Grade B periodontal disease.

Materials and Methods:
The study included 50 healthy individuals and 50 patients diagnosed with Stage III/Grade B periodontal disease. Clinical parameters were cataloged for each participant. miRNA-223 underwent an in silico analysis to identify its potential target genes. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were collected from the subjects for real-time polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the expression of both miR-223 and the RAB12 gene.

Results:
The miRTargetLink2.0 analysis highlighted the RAB12 gene as a prime target for miR-223. In periodontal disease patients, miR-223 and RAB12 gene expressions significantly increased (15.21 and 34.70-fold changes, respectively; P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic analysis suggested that miR-223 is a potential biomarker for periodontal disease, with 76% diagnostic accuracy and an area under the curve of 0.777 (P < 0.01).

Conclusion:
MicroRNA-223 and its target gene RAB12 exhibit high expression levels in GCF samples from individuals with periodontal disease. This suggests modulation of autophagy and the signaling mechanism for pyroptotic cell death in periodontal tissues during pathogenesis. Consequently, the miR-223/RAB12 axis might represent a plausible link for periodontal disease.
Comparative evaluation of mucin and total protein in periodontal disease before and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy
Authors: Vishnu J. P. , Gautam Anju , Mishra Surendra Pratap , Durrani Farhan , Imran Fouzia , Kumari Ekta 
Published: June 2024

Abstract:

Background:
Periodontal ailments cause a quantum leap in the biomarker profile of the saliva. This profile is, in fact, the epiphany of the scale and extent of the disease. Both gingivitis and periodontitis are chronic inflammatory diseases with a step-grade progression. The study aimed to determine the response of the host in these conditions by analyzing concentrations of salivary mucin and total protein activity, before and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT).

Materials and Methods:
Sixty adult subjects were clinically examined and divided into three groups (n = 20) according to the clinical assessment and categorized as Group I (healthy), Group II (gingivitis), and Group III (chronic periodontitis). Whole saliva was collected, and salivary mucin and total protein levels were quantitatively measured at baseline in all the groups and additionally after NSPT in Groups II and III.

Results:
Levels of mucin and total protein increased in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis. There was a slight decline in mucin levels in periodontitis patients in comparison with the gingivitis group. A positive correlation was found between the respective clinical parameters of both the groups along with their levels of salivary mucin and total protein. It indicated that the response of salivary glands to increase their protective potential caused the change among the groups.

Conclusion:
Periodontal diseases induce an increase in the levels of mucins and proteins, which is believed as the action of the salivary glands to protect the oral cavity and put off the chaos caused by the microorganisms.

Authors: Falodun Olutayo Israel , Buekor Nyornebari Grace , Victor Azu 
Published: June 2024

Objective:
To determine the antibiotic resistance patterns and resistance genes in enterococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated from poultry farms and nearby wells in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Methods:
Poultry litter and well water samples were collected from three farms. Isolation of bacterial isolates were done using bile esculin azide agar and presumptive identification was done using conventional methods and confirmed by 16S rRNA using PCR. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was by disk diffusion method, while antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs) was detected by PCR.

Results:
Of the 86 Gram-positive cocci isolated, 71 (82.6%) were CoNS comprising Staphylococcus (S.) sciuri (69.0%) and S. xylosus (31.0%), while the remaining 15 (17.4%) were Enterococcus spp. comprising Enterococcus (E.) faecalis (60.0%) and E. faecium (40.0%). Antibiotics resistance of the isolates showed that 91.5% (CoNS) and 93.0% (enterococci) were resistant to penicillin, 90.1% and 86.7% to tetracycline and 94.4% and 66.7% to erythromycin, respectively. Also, all the 15 (100%) Enterococcus spp. and 68 (95.8%) CoNS were multidrug resistant. The ARGs detected in the CoNS include: tetM (45.4%), tetL (9.0%) and ermB (27.3%), while tetM (9.1%), tetL (4.5%) and ermB (4.5%) were found in Enterococcus spp.

Conclusions:
This study revealed that poultry litters in the study area are pools of antimicrobial resistant enterococci and CoNS, as well as, the corresponding ARGs. Therefore, necessary monitoring and ample treatment of poultry waste should be done before their release into the environment.
Enhanced perioperative communication elevates patients’ understanding, perception, and satisfaction for anesthesia services: Insights from a survey study
Authors: Jaju Rishabh , Varshney Saurabh , Bihani Pooja , Paliwal Naveen , Karim Habib Md. R , Bhuyan Dipak 
Published: June 2024

Background and Aims:
Anesthesiologists’ services extend to many critical areas of any healthcare setup. However, there needs to be more understanding among the public regarding their crucial role. Preanesthesia evaluation (PAE) visits can disseminate information about anesthesiologists and services. We aimed to evaluate patient’s knowledge and the impact of interview-based surveys on increasing knowledge about anesthesiologists and anesthesia services.

Methodology:
It was a single-center, cross-sectional survey involving 550 patients aged 18–65 undergoing elective surgeries. Pre- and postoperative interviewer-assisted questionnaires were administered to assess patients’ baseline knowledge and perception of anesthesia and anesthesiologists. Statistical analysis focused on demographic, educational, and previous anesthesia exposure among subgroups; a P-value <0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
Less than half comprehended anesthesia’s role as a specialist in inducing unconsciousness. 55.3% were unaware of general anesthesia, and 69.6% were unaware of regional anesthesia as a technique. Higher education and previous anesthesia exposure correlated with better awareness with regard to the perioperative role of anesthesiologists and their fields of work (P < 0.05). The postoperative survey indicated good satisfaction with anesthesiologists’ services, which might be attributable to the survey-based interaction.

Conclusion:
A significant need for more understanding regarding anesthesia and anesthesiologists’ roles still prevails. Interview-based effective communication during PAE visits, perioperative period, and shared decision-making (SDM) improves patients’ knowledge, comprehension, and satisfaction.

Published: June 2024

Com o avanço da tecnologia o ambiente educacional também vem sofrendo modificações resultantes da inserção de novos recursos tecnológicos no processo de ensino aprendizagem, como por exemplo o emprego de lousas digitais nas salas de aula, porém o custo das lousas digitais convencionais limita a popularização desta ferramenta didática. Partindo então da limitação do custo das lousas digitais convencionais, este trabalho propõe, baseado no princípio de funcionamento desenvolvido pelo pesquisador Jonny Chung Lee, desenvolver uma lousa digital de baixo custo, aproveitando as tecnologias comuns disponível no dia a dia como Bluetooth e IrDA e conhecimentos básicos de eletrônica e informática, além de outros dispositivos. Portanto este trabalho apresenta os resultados alcançados ao longo do desenvolvimento de uma lousa digital de baixo custo, denominada lousa mágica interativa devido à ausência de elementos físicos entre a tela interativa e o projetor utilizado, além de apresentar algumas aplicações didáticas disponíveis no ambiente virtual que poderiam ser aplicadas no protótipo em desenvolvimento proporcionando assim uma maior interatividade e dinamismos das aulas.
