Exploitation d'images satellitaires Landsat de la région du Cap (Afrique du Sud) pour le calcul et la cartographie d'indices de végétation à l'aide du logiciel GRASS GIS
Authors: Lemenkova Polina 
Published: May 2024

Le développement de techniques de programmation et de langages de script intégrés aux SIG a amélioré le traitement des images satellitaires pour obtenir des informations spatiales à partir des données de télédétection. Dans cet article, l'efficacité de l'intégration des données multi-temporelles d'observation spatiale avec des techniques de script est démontrée à travers un exemple pris en Afrique du Sud. Quatre images Landsat couvrant la région côtière du Cap ont été acquises auprès de l'USGS pour les années 2016, 2018, 2021 et 2023. Leur traitement a permis le calcul de quatre indices de végétation à l'aide du module 'i.vi' de GRASS SIG : DVI, NDVI, SAVI et CI. Les valeurs des indices ont été cartographiées pour chacune des images traitées. Ces cartes traduisent les changements de l'occupation du sol depuis 2016, notamment la déforestation et l'expansion des terres agricoles.
« Mais », entre figure de langue et figure de pensée dans le discours d’Emmanuel Macron
Authors: Djeradi Kheira 
Published: May 2024

Cet article se concentre sur les figures de langue et les figures de pensée ponctuées par l’emploi du connecteur d’opposition « mais » dans les interventions d’Emmanuel Macron lors du débat de l’entre-deux-tours des élections présidentielles de 2022 face à Marine Le Pen. En effet, par le déploiement récurrent de ce connecteur, le candidat a tenté d’assurer l’effet de persuasion, de clarté, de nuance et surtout, de concessions dans le processus de l’argumentation. Cependant, la perception et l’interprétation de cette récursivité par les électeurs peut varier et risque d’entrainer d’autres incidences, telles que la manipulation ou la partialité. Pour circonscrire cet état des lieux, nous nous proposons d’adopter l’approche pragmatique conative. Elle mettra en lumière l’efficacité des figures de langue dans la communication et leur rôle dans la persuasion et la création de sens. Elle offre une compréhension plus approfondie de la rhétorique en la plaçant au centre des interactions.
L’aditus du théâtre antique de Béziers
Authors: Macario Raphaël 
Published: May 2024

Le théâtre antique de Béziers a été découvert en 2014 à l’occasion d’une fouille préventive dans le centre-ville. Le tiers de l’édifice environ est visible avec un diamètre restitué de 80 à 85 m. Bien conservées à la faveur d’un remploi dans des caves modernes, les maçonneries du bâtiment de scène et de la première travée de soutènement des gradins encadrent l’aditus maximus du théâtre. Large de 2,80 m et visible sur 21 m de long, son niveau de sol est partiellement conservé et permet de réfléchir aux circulations entre les différentes parties du théâtre. Un collecteur trouvait son exutoire à l’extrémité nord-est du couloir tandis que les maçonneries au sud-ouest ont fait l’objet d’une mise en œuvre différente à proximité du débouché dans l’orchestra.
Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness with a variable presentation across three generations within a pedigree, South Africa
Authors: Makgopa Herbert , Kemp Tanja , Meldau Surita , Honey Engela M. , Chale-Matsau Bettina 
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is caused by the m.3243AG pathogenic variant in maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA. Diabetes is prevalent in our setting; however, MIDD is rarely diagnosed. This study, undertaken in Pretoria, South Africa, highlights the variable presentation of MIDD in different patients within the same family.Case presentation: A 45-year-old man (proband) with hearing impairment was referred to the endocrine unit in July 2015 due to poor glycaemic control (HbA1c = 13%). His clinical and biochemical features were in keeping with MIDD. A genetic study of accessible maternal relatives was pursued. His mother had difficulty hearing and reportedly died from an unspecified cardiovascular cause. Two sisters with diabetes and deafness died of cardiac-related conditions. One nephew had diabetes (HbA1c = 7.7%), hearing loss and tested positive for m.3243AG. A third sister tested positive for m3243AG, but aside from bilateral mild hearing loss in higher frequencies, showed no other signs of target organ damage. Her daughter developed end-stage kidney failure necessitating a transplant, while her son had no biochemical abnormalities and was negative for m.3243AG.Management and outcome: A multidisciplinary team managed and screened for complications of the patient and his maternal relatives. Proband died prior to genetic testing.Conclusion: Most MIDD patients initially present with symptoms of diabetes only, and it is probable that many cases remain undiagnosed. A high index of suspicion is necessary when encountering a family history of both diabetes and impaired hearing, and screening should be offered to the patient’s maternal relatives.What the study adds: This study demonstrates the importance of proper assessment when evaluating a patient with diabetes and a family history of hearing loss.
Allergy/Atopic March and United Airway Disease: What We Know and What We Need to Know?
Authors: Das Rashmi Ranjan , Ramakrishna Golla , Gulla Krishna Mohan , Kumar Ketan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
“Allergy/atopic march” refers to a typical sequence in which the allergic or atopic features appear at a certain age, and may or may not persist thereafter. In general, atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema occurs first, which progresses to immunoglobulin-E-mediated food allergy, asthma, and then allergic rhinitis (AR). However, this sequence may not be conspicuous in many cases. AR is an independent risk factor for asthma; in fact, AR often precedes that of asthma. United airway disease (allergic rhino-bronchitis) means the coexistence of AR and asthma. This has been shown in clinical and experimental studies, which suggest a similar immune pathology between the upper and lower airways in allergic subjects. In children with asthma, coexistent AR leads to an increased risk of asthma exacerbation leading to hospitalization and/or emergency visits as well as increased health-care cost. Treatment of AR in asthmatic children results in a lowered risk of asthma-related hospitalizations and emergency visits, and improved quality of life. In this article, we have discussed the current evidence for the clinically relevant effects that allergic conditions (from food allergies to atopic march, united airways disease, and AR) can have on children with asthma along with the future of allergic diagnosis (precision allergy molecular diagnosis) and allergen immunotherapy.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
A 9-year-old Hispanic female, initially diagnosed with asthma, presented with recurrent respiratory infections, poor growth, a persistent cough, and chest congestion. Targeted gene sequencing testing confirmed cystic fibrosis (CF) with two F-508del mutations. Following referral to a specialized CF center, the patient received comprehensive clinical care, including patient and parent education, nutritional support, CF-specific therapies, and concurrent management of a pulmonary exacerbation. The introduction of CF modulator therapy resulted in substantial improvements in body mass index and forced expiratory volume in 1 s. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and access to CF care in improving clinical outcomes, especially in underserved populations.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background and Objectives:
Approximately half the world uses biomass fuel for domestic energy, resulting in widespread exposure to indoor air pollution from biomass smoke. It is not clear what relationship exists between biomass use and pulmonary function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke in children on pulmonary function test (PFT) parameters and its association with the particulate matter load.

Materials and Methods:
Children residing in rural houses in Central Karnataka using biomass fuel for cooking and heating water were selected and evaluated for PFTs by RMS Helios 401 spirometer. Particulate matter <2.5 (PM2.5) concentrations were measured using an air quality pollution monitor. The association between PM2.5 and lung functions was studied.

Results:
A total of 150 children were included in the study. The study participants were assessed for the amount of exposure to particulate matter. Significant exposure to PM2.5 and hydrocarbons with a mean exposure of 42.25 mcg/m3 and 160.47 mg/m3, respectively, was recorded. Exposure to formaldehyde in the kitchen and living area showed a statistically significant decrease in forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume 1 (FEV1) and a normal FEV1/FVC ratio indicating a restrictive pattern. It also showed a statistically significant effect on forced expiratory flow 25%–75% indicating a small airway obstructive pattern.

Conclusion:
Long-term exposure to PM2.5 and formaldehyde from biomass fuel burning is associated with reduced lung function. This study reinforces the urgency of global strategies to mitigate indoor air pollution for the improvement of pulmonary health.

Abstract

Background and Objective:
Children with neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) face a higher risk of recurrent pneumonias. Mechanical insufflation–exsufflation (MI-E) is a technique designed to enhance cough effectiveness, improve mucus clearance, and ultimately enhance lung health by boosting expiratory airflow and cough peak flow in coordination with a cough. We assessed the safety and adverse effects of MI-E in our cohort.

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective study was conducted over a period of 1.5 years at a tertiary care hospital in Bangalore, South India. Children between 1 and 18 years of age were included in the study. The demographic details of each child were collected from hospital records, along with the indication for starting MI-E and the duration of usage of MI-E.

Results:
Thirty-three children (18 boys) were started on MI-E. The most common indication was spinomuscular atrophy. Before the start of MI-E, 30 children were on noninvasive ventilation and 13 had a tracheostomy. The median insufflation and exsufflation pressures used were in the range of +15 to 25 cm H2O and −15 to −25 cm H20, respectively. Auto mode was used in all the cases, and 28 children used it on a long-term basis. There was a decrease in the frequency of hospitalization (especially in children with NMD). Adherence was very good without any evidence of barotrauma or any other complications.

Conclusions:
We found that the MI-E device is a valuable tool for aiding airway clearance in children with NMDs. Its use not only prevents intensive care unit admissions, reducing hospital stay duration but many times mitigates the need for hospital admissions altogether.

Published: May 2024

Background: In Ayurveda, Galaganda which is characterized by neck swelling is well known. Galaganda is often compared with Goiter which is related with Thyroid disorders. Aaharaja and Viharaja Hetus cause vitiation in Vata, Kapha and Meda. These vitiated Doshas reach the neck and the Nape of the neck gets lodged therein causing swelling in the neck which gradually develops having their respective symptoms. Case Report: In this present study an Indian Female Patient aged 30 years known case of Hyperthyroidism and swelling over the neck for 1 year was treated by Viddha Karma Therapy.
Result: The 7 consequent sittings of Viddha Karma led to regression of the size of Thyroid Gland as well as reduction of cervical lymphadenopathy and thus provided relief in signs and symptoms. Also, there were positive significant changes observed in the Thyroid profile and USG reports. This is an effort to find a better and faster treatment for Galaganda by successfully treating the case of Galaganda with Viddha Karma Therapy.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the problems of Islamic Religious Education taught in non-Islamic educational institutions. Learning Islamic Religious Education in schools is a basic learning that students must learn. However, many students are bored and take part in PAI learning in the classroom. Even though the hope is that Islamic Religious Education is able to encourage students to behave and have good ethics. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach that adopts a descriptive model from literature studies. The analysis process uses content analysis methods, with the main focus on various journals that discuss challenges in Islamic religious education in various schools in Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that PAI problems in schools are caused by two factors, namely internal and external factors. Internal factors are caused by school management, education, facilities and infrastructure, and based on the curriculum. While the external factors are caused by the low interest in learning students and the mini-motivation to learn.

Published: May 2024

С момента независимости в странах постсоветского региона особенно острым встал вопрос правового регулирования государственно-конфессиональных отношений. Связано это, прежде всего с демократизацией государственного строя стран СНГ, Кыргызской Республики в том числе, и распространением новых течений традиционных верований, а также возникновение и внедрение совершенно новых для региона религиозных учений. Государству, как главному регулятору правоотношений в обществе, необходимо создавать эффективную нормативную правовую базу для реализации права на свободу совести и вероисповедания всеми участниками конфессионально-религиозных правоотношений. Целью данной статьи является изучение и выявление проблем в законодательстве в сфере регулирования государственно-конфессиональных отношений.
Since independence, the issue of legal regulation of state-confessional relations has become particularly acute in the countries of the post-Soviet region. This is primarily due to the democratization of the state system of the CIS countries, including the Kyrgyz Republic, and the spread of new trends of traditional beliefs, as well as the emergence and introduction of completely new religious teachings for the region. The State, as the main regulator of legal relations in society, needs to create an effective regulatory legal framework for the realization of the right to freedom of conscience and religion by all participants in confessional and religious legal relations. The purpose of this article is to study and identify problems in legislation in the field of regulation of state-confessional relations.
