Which training of occupational gesture as lever for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders? Reflection based on an interdisciplinary action biomechanical/clinical activity
Authors: Simonet Pascal , Savescu Adriana 
Published: June 2024

Cet article pose la question de la conception de la formation comme contribution à la prévention des TMS (Troubles musculosquelettiques). Il est adossé à une expérience d’interdisciplinarité entre biomécanique et psychologie du travail clinique de l’activité réalisée pour les besoins de l’analyse de l’activité de fossoyeurs municipaux 1 . Dans cette contribution, nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement à la valorisation de l’un des aspects de cette action interdisciplinaire construite avec la participation des fossoyeurs : la conception d’un outil de formation. Ce dernier permet de discuter de la conception de la formation entre développement du geste, formation professionnelle et prévention continue des TMS. A partir de l’étude de ce cas et des questionnements autour de différents types de formation (apport de connaissance et développement du geste), nous proposons de réfléchir à un contenu de formation pour la prévention, organisé entre savoirs scientifiques sur les TMS et savoirs de métier.
Désinformer pour mieux régner
Authors: Schuwey Christophe 
Published: June 2024

Parmi les phénomènes liés à la désinformation, on constate la multiplication de termes et d’expressions – tels que « journalope », « mainstream media », « fake news », – qui, selon les usages, permettent de disqualifier n’importe quel article ou n’importe quel journaliste. Le présent article retrace cette pratique de disqualification au XVIIe siècle, en étudiant les cas de l’Angleterre, de la France et de l’Espagne. Dans chacun de ces trois royaumes, des professionnels de l’écrit mobilisent différentes formes (théâtre, romans, pamphlets, etc.) pour diffuser des stéréotypes négatifs discréditant toute information ou comportement contrevenant aux objectifs du pouvoir. L’analyse vise ainsi trois objectifs : envisager le phénomène dans un temps long et le détacher de tout déterminisme technologique (il n’est pas spécifiquement lié aux réseaux sociaux ou à l’industrialisation) ; identifier des invariants dans cette technique de contrôle ; enfin, mettre en lumière le rôle des productions culturelles (littérature, théâtre) dans la construction d’une culture de la (dés)information.
Services de renseignement et médias en Amérique du Sud pendant la guerre froide
Authors: Lafuente Víctor Manuel 
Published: June 2024

Dans le cadre de la guerre froide se sont déroulées en Argentine des campagnes de (dés)information à travers un journalisme jaune, qui dénonçait une supposée infiltration communiste et louait ou dissimulait la répression exercée contre la population par les forces de sécurité. Le cas du journal Freie Presse, basé à Buenos Aires et qui était à l'époque la plus grande publication de langue allemande dans un pays non germanophone, est exemplaire. Son rédacteur en chef, Federico Müller, entretenait des relations avec les services de renseignement allemands et argentins et obtenait d’eux des moyens financiers pour la publication de son quotidien, ainsi que des informations reçues de première main qui faisaient alors la une dans les journaux argentins et sud-américains. En retour, Müller se faisait l'écho de campagnes de diffamation contre des institutions prétendument « cryptocommunistes » et contre les diasporas européennes en Argentine. Ces accusations ont convergé avec les vicissitudes de la politique intérieure argentine, créant ainsi une prédisposition de la population à accepter les mesures répressives du gouvernement. L'article propose donc d'analyser le modus operandi des services de renseignement et du journal Freie Presse à travers l'étude de trois actions de désinformation menées par eux en 1962.
La bataille des opinions dans les événements de 1955 au Cameroun
Authors: Tetam Gildas Igor Noumbou , Wandji Hervé 
Published: June 2024

En mai 1955, une manifestation anticolonialiste organisée à Mbanga, dans le Littoral camerounais, se mue en émeute. Insufflée par les cadres et les militants de l’Union des populations du Cameroun (UPC), un mouvement nationaliste créé à Douala le 10 avril 1948, cet événement embrase l’ensemble des localités du sud du Cameroun et s’achève le 30 mai, c’est-à-dire une semaine plus tard, par des arrestations et l’exil de la quasi-totalité des responsables de l’UPC. Depuis un bureau de liaison installé au Cameroun britannique et le maquis, ces derniers multiplient les communiqués et les écrits confidentiels pour alerter l’opinion publique sur les « massacres » qui ont, dit-on, ensanglanté le Cameroun lors des émeutes. De son côté, l’administration publie les rapports et les communiqués pour livrer sa version des faits. À partir des modèles de l’analyse du discours de Patrick Charaudeau et des documents d’archive collectés au Cameroun et à l’extérieur, le présent travail étudie le dispositif et les formes d’expression qui furent utilisés pendant ce conflit, ainsi que son impact sur le champ politique et la mémoire collective au Cameroun.

Abstract

Introduction:
There is high prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), and available evidence suggests higher prevalence of NASH and advanced stages of fibrosis among T2D. Data regarding prevalence of clinically significant liver fibrosis (CSLF) in individuals with T2D is scarce. We investigated the prevalence of transient elastography (TE)-proven CSLF among patients of T2D attending a diabetes clinic at a tertiary care center.

Methods:
A cross-sectional descriptive evaluation study of 603 consecutive adults with T2D was conducted to detect CSLF using TE. Steatosis was diagnosed using a controlled attenuation parameter >237 dB/m.

Results:
The prevalence of CSLF was 22.7%, and the prevalence of steatosis was 58.9% in our study. A higher body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.001), aspartate aminotransferase (AST; P = 0.0001), alanine aminotransferase (ALT; P = 0.0001), and low platelets (P = 0.0001) were independent factors associated with CSLF. Elevated ALT and AST (≥40 units/L) levels were present in only 27.7% and 37.2% of individuals with CSLF, respectively. Twenty-six (4.31%) individuals had LSM > 13.0 kPa.

Conclusion:
CSLF is highly prevalent in T2D patients attending a diabetes clinic at a tertiary care center, and the majority of such individuals have normal transaminase levels. Higher BMI, AST, and ALT values and lower platelet counts are associated with liver fibrosis.

Background/aim
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, which causes macrovascular complications that account for most of the morbidity, hospitalizations, and deaths. The goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship between macrovascular complications and associated risk factors in Al-Madinah Al-Munawara patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Patients and methods
This descriptive cross-sectional study involved 275 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who resided in Al-Madinah Al-Munawara and visited the diabetic clinic at King Fahd Hospital on a regular basis. Participants in the study ranged in age from 20 to 65. Hemoglobin, glycated hemoglobin, serum calcium, fasting blood glucose, and lipid profile were analyzed.

Results
Out of 275 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 113 have had macrovascular complications. A significant association (P<0.05) has been observed between the age of the patients and different forms of macrovascular complications, which impact 62.7% of the elderly (41–65 years old). The prevalence of macrovascular complications was higher among females. Glycated hemoglobin levels positively correlated with the number of hospitalizations, high blood pressure, hemoglobin, and serum cholesterol levels. Macrovascular complications are positively correlated with age, sex, hypertension, and therapy type (P<0.05), while physical activity has a negative significant effect on the appearance of macrovascular complications by multiple regression analysis.

Conclusion
In this study, diabetic macrovascular complications were prevalent. The age, sex of participants, and type of treatment were independent predictors of macrovascular complications. Hypertension has a significant positive effect on the appearance of macrovascular complications. Physically inactive patients have a higher risk of macrovascular complications.

Published: June 2024

Background/aim
Lateral epicondylitis known frequently as tennis elbow, is a common disease affecting the elbow joint. It affects 1 to 3% of the population yearly especially individuals in their forties, although the pain has usually a gradual onset, it may occur abruptly. Laser acupuncture is a complementary modality that is used to stimulate the acupoints by low-power laser beam instead of the traditional needles. The present study aims to evaluate the efficiency of laser acupuncture in the management of chronic lateral epicondylitis in adolescents.

Patient and methods
This study is a randomized controlled trial study on sixty adolescent patients with lateral epicondylitis visiting the acupuncture and laser clinic in excellence Medical Centre, National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt, during the first of November 2023 till the end of January 2024. The patients were divided into two groups (30 each). The first group was subjected to low-power laser and brufen 400 mg twice daily for 4 weeks, while the patients in the second group were given just the same dose of brufen and used as a control. Pain score, patient rated elbow score, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured before and after the end of treatment. IL-6 was measured by Elisa techniques.

Results
The present study exhibited insignificant differences (P>0.05) between the studied groups of adolescents with chronic lateral epicondylitis regarding pain score and Patient elbow score before intervention and then it became significantly lower (P<0.05) in both groups group at the end of treatment with Laser and brufen or without Laser. However, adolescent patients subjected to laser and brufen exhibited more reduction (P<0.01) than in the control group treated with brufen only. In addition, the levels of IL-6 exhibited more reduction in the Laser group (P<0.01) than in the control group.

Conclusion
Low-power laser is efficient in pain reduction and improvement of elbow joint function when 200 mw power, continuous wave, and 12 Joules energy is applied on each acupoint in chronic lateral epicondylitis adolescent patients.

BACKGROUND
Cognitive dysfunction is the main manifestation of central neuropathy. Although cognitive impairments tend to be overlooked in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), there is a growing body of evidence linking DM to cognitive dysfunction. Hyperglycemia is closely related to neurological abnormalities, while often disregarded in clinical practice. Changes in cerebral neurotransmitter levels are associated with a variety of neurological abnormalities and may be closely related to blood glucose control in patients with type 2 DM (T2DM).
AIM
To evaluate the concentrations of cerebral neurotransmitters in T2DM patients exhibiting different hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels.
METHODS
A total of 130 T2DM patients were enrolled at the Department of Endocrinology of Shanghai East Hospital. The participants were divided into four groups according to their HbA1c levels using the interquartile method, namely Q1 (< 7.875%), Q2 (7.875%-9.050%), Q3 (9.050%-11.200%) and Q4 (≥ 11.200%). Clinical data were collected and measured, including age, height, weight, neck/waist/hip circumferences, blood pressure, comorbidities, duration of DM, and biochemical indicators. Meanwhile, neurotransmitters in the left hippocampus and left brainstem area were detected by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
RESULTS
The HbA1c level was significantly associated with urinary microalbumin (mALB), triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and beta cell function (HOMA-β), N-acetylaspartate/creatine (NAA/Cr), and NAA/choline (NAA/Cho). Spearman correlation analysis showed that mALB, LDL-C, HOMA-IR and NAA/Cr in the left brainstem area were positively correlated with the level of HbA1c (P < 0.05), whereas HOMA-β was negatively correlated with the HbA1c level (P < 0.05). Ordered multiple logistic regression analysis showed that NAA/Cho [Odds ratio (OR): 1.608, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.004-2.578, P < 0.05], LDL-C (OR: 1.627, 95%CI: 1.119-2.370, P < 0.05), and HOMA-IR (OR: 1.107, 95%CI: 1.031-1.188, P < 0.01) were independent predictors of poor glycemic control.
CONCLUSION
The cerebral neurotransmitter concentrations in the left brainstem area in patients with T2DM are closely related to glycemic control, which may be the basis for the changes in cognitive function in diabetic patients.

ABSTRACT.
In the Americas, onchocerciasis has been eliminated in 11 of 13 endemic foci by mass administration of ivermectin. The remaining at-risk population resides in a contiguous cross-border transmission zone located in the Amazon jungle in northwest Brazil and southern Venezuela, known as the Yanomami Focus Area. Here, we describe the development and implementation of a data-driven tool, called the Scorecard Approach (SCA), for the 393 communities that comprise the Venezuela South Focus. The SCA was first applied in 2018 and is reassessed on an annual basis. This operational strategy seeks to prioritize communities with low ivermectin coverage while taking into account the nature and variation of other epidemiological and logistical variables. Numeric scores are assigned for each factor and added together to yield a composite score for each community that is categorized as high, medium, or low priority. In this way, the SCA serves as a valuable and comprehensive strategy for planning, monitoring, and maximizing programmatic efficiency. In addition, it has allowed the country to face the main challenges of this endemic area: its remoteness, its large areas of territory to cover, the semi-nomadic nature of the Yanomami people, and their continuous cross-border movements. For 2022, the SCA categorized 54 (13.7%), 108 (27.5%), and 231 (58.8%) communities as high, medium, and low priority, respectively. The results presented here show that prioritizing communities at risk and with greatest needs increases the feasibility of interrupting the transmission of onchocerciasis by 2025 in the last endemic focus in the Americas.

Published: June 2024

This study evaluated the impact of integrating students' cultural backgrounds into online learning to improve understanding and participation. It employed "Simple House Theory" and projective geometry in designing traditional houses to make complex mathematical concepts relatable. The Ethnomathematics project and the Hypnoteaching model were two instructional strategies that successfully enhanced active student participation in distance learning.Data was collected from a joint course between Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM Makassar), Indonesia, and Tunghai University, Taiwan. The study involved 36 students: 20 from UNM Makassar’s international mathematics education program (Group I) and 16 from Tunghai University’s applied mathematics department (Group II). Various tools like surveys, tests, and projects were employed for data collection. The survey had 23 Likert-scale questions, allowing a thorough evaluation of student feedback. Quantitative analysis of this data revealed that incorporating the Ethnomathematics projects and Hypnoteaching model into the curriculum significantly increased student engagement in remote learning. This was further evidenced by improved student performance in project work. The research underscores the benefits of culturally relevant teaching methods in enhancing engagement and understanding in online mathematics education. It highlights the effectiveness of embedding local cultural elements into online learning environments, creating more engaging and relatable experiences. The study suggests the potential of these approaches in other educational contexts and disciplines for future research.
