Analyse de la prise en compte des modes de vie dans les scénarios de prospective énergétique
Authors: Chagny Clotilde , Leray Louise 
Published: February 2025

Depuis l’accord de Paris de 2015, des scénarios de prospective énergétique ont été publiés pour la France, l’Europe ou le monde par divers acteurs. Ils soulignent qu’une hausse trop forte de la consommation énergétique dans les pays développés n’est pas soutenable. Elle doit y être maîtrisée voire réduite, ceci doit passer par une modification des modes de vie. La notion de « sobriété » a fait son apparition. Une comparaison entre des scénarios français, européens et mondiaux est effectuée dans cet article. Une première étude qualitative globale est proposée. Chaque scénario est analysé à l’aune d’une grille de 12 indicateurs permettant de construire un indice d’évolution des modes de vie qui donne une idée de l’ampleur des modifications envisagées. Une étude quantitative est également effectuée pour les scénarios français. Si la comparaison entre les différents scénarios s'avère délicate par manque d'homogénéité des méthodologies, un nombre croissant intègrent des ruptures dans les modes de vie à l'horizon 2050. Les leviers de sobriété identifiés sont communs mais ils impliquent des choix sociétaux comportant des modifications parfois radicales de certains usages, ce qui pose la question de la faisabilité de telles trajectoires. Des pistes de recherche sont indiquées. L’industrie et l’offre de sobriété, des études de terrains sur des communautés en situation de sobriété subie ou choisie, des questionnements sur les paradigmes de modélisation de la société dans les modèles économiques, ainsi que la construction de narratifs collectifs désirables sont par exemple proposés. Ces recherches doivent inclure un large éventail de champs disciplinaires.
Explorer la sobriété : Enquête participative en contexte de crise énergétique
Authors: Cordellier Maxime , Dobré Michelle 
Published: February 2025

La « sobriété collective » involontaire qui était annoncée en France pour l'hiver 2022-2023 a constitué une occasion de mise en discussion dans l’espace public des différents scénarios de transition énergétique et réactualisé la notion de sobriété. En poursuivant une méthodologie propre aux sciences participatives (living lab en anglais), nous avons interrogé les représentations profanes des enjeux actuels de la crise énergétique. Quatre ateliers participatifs menés dans la ville de Caen ont permis d’explorer l’univers des solutions envisagées par les contributeurs. Nous avons identifié quatre thèmes qui soulèvent des questions pour les publics participant aux ateliers : la surconsommation, les modes de vie entendus comme matérialisations de l’organisation sociale dominante, l’encadrement réglementaire des pratiques énergivores et la question des niveaux de décision démocratique. Face aux enjeux de sobriété énergétique, les imaginaires du changement se répartissent entre des solutions individuelles et collectives, entre régulation institutionnelle et restrictions consenties ou subies. Les réponses proposées sont de quatre ordres : l’accroissement des réglementations d’usage, l’appel à un volontarisme politique et à une exemplarité des élites ; une éducation à la sobriété, la transformation des usages et des modes de vie. Cet article entend examiner les ressorts sociaux de ces représentations des problèmes et des solutions qui ont émergé dans des Ateliers participatifs organisés selon la méthode des living lab. Il discutera également les intérêts et les limites de la méthodologie living lab pour accéder aux ressorts des innovations sociales.

Authors: Colledge Brooke S. , Schofield Emma C. , Clarke Benjamin J. , Popovic Gordana , Vattekad Mohandas , Figtree Penelope E. 
Published: February 2025

Background: The very low carbohydrate diet (VLCHD) is gaining popularity as a therapy for metabolic syndrome. However, its effect on renal function in patients with comorbid moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) is currently unclear.Aim: This study analyses markers of kidney function in patients with metabolic syndrome and stages 3 and 4 CKD who undertook a VLCHD for at least 3 months.Setting: The study was conducted in a Mid North Coast general practice located in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, 2020–2022.Methods: Clinical data were analysed retrospectively from 18 participants with metabolic syndrome and CKD stages 3 and 4, who were prescribed a VLCHD ( 30 g carbohydrates/day). A linear mixed model was used to analyse markers of metabolic health (glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), lipid profile (triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum creatinine, bicarbonate and urea)).Results: Strong evidence was found for reduced BMI (p 0.001) and HbA1c (p 0.001), despite reduced diabetic medications in 13/14 participants. Antihypertensive medications were reduced in 6/14 participants with no change in systolic BP. No changes were detected in eGFR or bicarbonate, while creatinine (p ≤ 0.001) and urea (p = 0.002) were reduced. No participants deteriorated to a more advanced stage of CKD; rather an absolute eGFR increase was found in 15/18 participants.Conclusion: For the first time, the VLCHD was demonstrated to reduce BMI, HbA1c, BP and medication burden in patients with CKD stages 3–4 without evidence of kidney damage.Contribution: The VLCHD could be a safe and effective therapy to improve metabolic health and consequently reduce cardiovascular disease risk in patients with metabolic syndrome and CKD.
The University of South Africa’s contributions to Lutheran theological training in higher education
Authors: Mashabela James K. 
Published: February 2025

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa (ELCSA) through its Oscarsberg Lutheran Theological College and Umphumulo Lutheran Theological College has been largely involved in the history of Lutheran theological training with the University of South Africa (Unisa). The ELCSA was very passionate to improve the quality of theological training and decided to further train their theological students at a university level. Oscarsberg Lutheran Theological College (OLTC) leadership started negotiations with Unisa for its theological students to be trained at Unisa.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article focuses on the history of Lutheran theological education in Southern Africa. It discusses a cooperation of Lutheran theological students to be trained at Unisa, the importance of Lutheran Pre-seminary School as a foundation of theological training, a spouse theological training programme, a struggle of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa (UELCSA)’s white theological students training and a call for Africanisation and decolonisation of Lutheran theological education.

Authors: De Fina-Ramírez Katia Jhazmín , Uchima Koecklin Karin Harumi , Dulanto-Vargas Julissa Amparo , Carranza-Samanez Kilder Maynor 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:
To determine the dimensional changes of the airways with the use of fixed functional appliances (FFA) in growing individuals with Class II malocclusion.

Materials and Methods:
The search was performed in five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase Cochrane Library, and LILACS) until April 2022. Volume, area, or distance measurements of the global airway or by retropalatal (RP), nasopharynx (NP), oropharynx (OP), hypopharynx, and laryngopharynx (LP) regions were analyzed with intragroup or intergroup radiographs versus fixed orthodontic treatment (FOT) or no treatment (NT). Risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle–Ottawa scale.

Results:
Out of 754 articles, six cohort studies were included. At least one airway parameter was found to increase with FFA, with better results in the oropharyngeal airway. In six studies, airway dimensions significantly increased with Herbst with or without FOT (↑12.9%–139.2%), Forsus with FOT (↑28.7%) and mandibular anterior repositioning appliance (MARA) with FOT (↑22.6%–61%), with five studies reporting significant results (P < 0.05). The increase was in volume (14.8%–139.2%), areas (24.1%–61%), and distances (12.9%–39.3%) and in the RP (26.2%–100.7%), NP (7.8%–20.4%), OP (5.3%–139.2%), and LP (24.8%–94.7%) regions. Four cohorts showed significantly higher values of OP and LP volume and distance and cross-sectional areas with Herbst with or without FOT and MARA with FOT compared to FOT or NT (P < 0.05). Low risk of bias was more frequent (n = 4) than high risk (n = 2).

Conclusion:
Airway measurements were not standard between studies, thus limiting the group comparison. Various measurements of airway regions limit intergroup comparisons, and thus, a standard protocol is needed in future studies. Herbst, MARA, and Forsus FFAs used in growing patients with Class II malocclusion and showed benefits in the airways, especially by increasing the volume of OP in comparison to NT or FOT.

Authors: Suthawal Deepak Kumar , Rajawat Govind Singh , Koolwal Suresh , Chaudhary Komal 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
In this study we evaluated the utility of RAPID score in Parapneumonic effusion and empyema. Both of which are most common causes of exudative pleural effusion and this score was developed by Rahman et al by using multicentre intrapleural trial 1[MIST1 and MIST2]. Most of the patients with parapneumonic effusion usually recovers but mortality rate still around 10% along with long hospital stay, surgical interventions requirement, morbidity (3-month follow up) despite of advances in treatment specially in empyema cases. For this reason, this study was done as there is no such study have done by anyone in our knowledge specially in India. After calculating RAPID score in pleural infection then patients were stratified in the different risk categories and association was compared with these risk categories with different variables.

Methods:
This is a prospective study at tertiary in which clinical utility of RAPID score in pleural infection in INDIAN population where tuberculosis infection is predominant. Baseline RAPID score was calculated on admission and stratified into risk category according to RAPID score. Primary outcome both mortality and morbidity, secondary outcome need of surgical interventions, length of hospital at 3-months in different risk category.

Results:
Overall, 120 patients were included in this study. Mortality was 7 (5.83%) in our study. Total 17 (14.17%) patients needed surgery and length of hospital study was compared in all three categories of RAPID score. Total 26 (21.67%) patients had <7 days and 94 (78.33%) >7 days hospital stays. Most common organism isolate was mycobacterium tuberculosis. RAPID score was compared in Tubercular And non-tubercular organisms.

Conclusion:
Prognostic utility of RAPID score is well established especially in non-tubercular organisms. Here, in our study management utility of RAPID score also found useful. It performs good some aspects in tubercular aetiology.

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support is associated with chest radiograph changes commonly referred to as “drowning ECMO lung” ECMO lung presents as white-out of both lung fields, involving all lobes of the bilateral lungs. While the clinical significance of chest radiograph findings over time has been described in the general ARDS population, it has not been evaluated specifically in VV ECMO patients. This subpopulation suffers the most severe disease as well as the confounding effects of ECMO support.

Materials and Methods:
We identified 28 patients requiring VV ECMO cannulation for influenza-related ARDS between September 2009 and January 2018. Interpretation of chest X-ray images was divided into zones that correspond to anatomical lobes on computed tomography. Progression of radiologic injury was assessed by analysing the number of zones involved on the chest radiograph (X-ray) at days 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 from cannulation and discharge. The primary endpoint was survival to hospital discharge.

Results:
The majority of patients had complete opacification on days 1, 3, and 7 after VV ECMO cannulation. Patients with persistent complete opacification on chest X-ray infiltrate by day 14, following cannulation had an increased mortality. Survival to hospital discharge was increased in patients demonstrating improvement in radiological findings at day 19 compared to patients without significant radiologic improvement (100% vs 53%, log-rank P = 0.003).

Conclusion:
The evolution and recovery of lung injury reflected by serial chest X-ray imaging studies after influenza-related ARDS requiring VV ECMO support is associated with improved survival in this single centre, retrospective cohort.

Authors: Fakhar Mahdi , Hosseininejad Zahra , Sharifpour Ali , Hosseini Fatemeh Z. , Zakariaei Zakaria 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives:

Lophomonas blattarum is an emerging protozoan agent that mainly causes pulmonary lophomoniasis. Given that cigarette smokers are predisposed to various diseases while some conditions are less common among them, the current study aimed to compare the relationship between smoking status and the prevalence of pulmonary lophomoniasis in patients registered at the Iranian National Registry Center for Lophomoniasis (INRCL). Additionally, we examined common risk factors associated with Lophomonas infection among these registered subjects.

Materials and Methods:
This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional registry-based study was conducted on 600 registered subjects through microscopic examination (wet mount smears) and conventional polymerase chain reaction assay between 2021 and 2023. We analysed the smoking status and smoking intensity of 135 Lophomonas-positive patients and 465 Lophomonas-negative patients who were referred to the INRCL. Baseline data were collected from participants using a questionnaire.

Results:
Our results showed the prevalence of Lophomonas infection among enrolled subjects was estimated to be 22.5% (135/600). Also, we studied 135 Lophomonas positive patients (male = 92, female = 43). Furthermore, most patients testing positive for Lophomonas (74.8%; 101/135) also had at least one comorbidity condition. Our findings showed a statistically significant occurrence of Lophomonas infection among non-smokers (70.4%; n = 95), in contrast to smokers (29.6%; n = 40) (P = 0.001). Correspondingly, among the 40 Lophomonas-positive smokers, the majority (62.5%) were classified as light smokers. Moreover, based on the multiple logistic regressions, Lophomonas infection was 2.123, 3.142, and 2.353 times higher in men compared to women, patients aged 51–70 years compared to other age groups, and non-smokers compared to cigarette smokers, respectively (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:
Our findings reveal that Lophomonas infection is significantly lower among cigarette smokers compared to nonsmokers. Our data shed light on a new hypothesis about lophomoniasis among smokers. Further research is needed to assess the role of smoking in the pathophysiology of lophomoniasis.

Authors: Prado Ortega Mauricio Xavier , Chamba Ojeda Silvia , Centeno Sandoval Máxima , Rueda Rodríguez Luis Armando , Chamba Gómez Franklin 
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the integration of inclusive learning spaces in educational ecosystems, inspired by architect Rosan Bosch, to enhance entrepreneurship and inclusion in higher education. The concept of “ecosystem” is crucial in fostering environments where students, including those with disabilities, can thrive. Using the HomeByMe application, a design is proposed for implementing these spaces in educational institutions. Literature emphasizes the importance of involving diverse stakeholders and using ICT management to promote creativity, cooperation, and effective communication. In Ecuador, inclusion in higher education is a priority, driven by global and national organizations advocating for diversity. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing participant observation and interviews to explore learning ecologies and inclusion. Results demonstrate that learning ecosystems foster entrepreneurial skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking. The study recommends that higher education institutions integrate social dimensions into their policies, use technology for personalized learning, and encourage collaboration among diverse student groups. These efforts aim to create equitable educational opportunities, addressing socio-economic and cultural barriers while promoting an entrepreneurial mindset through interactive and challenging content.

Published: February 2025

Особый интерес в области изучения идеологии и политической мысли в XIX веке в Чосон представляет деятельность Чхинчхонпха, процинской фракции, которая выступала за сохранение отношений с Китаем. В этот период в Цинской Империи после Опиумных войн (1840—1842, 1856—1860) усилилось влияние западных государств и перед Кореей также встал вопрос об открытии страны для внешнеполитических и экономических обменов с западными неоколониальными странами и Японией. Это также порождало огромное количество конфликтов о судьбе государства в области международных отношений и использовании европейского опыта между реформаторами и консерваторами. В статье рассматриваются отдельные деятели Чхинчхонпха () и анализируется, почему они продолжали поддерживать позицию сохранения вассально-сюзеренских отношений с Китаем.
The study of ideology and political thought in 19th century Choson reveals significant insights into the activities of the Chincheongpa (), a pro-Qing faction that advocated for the preservation of relations with China. This period was marked by increased Western influence following the Opium Wars (1840—1842, 1856—1860) within the Qing Empire, prompting Korea to confront the pressing question of whether to open itself to foreign policy and economic exchanges with Western neo-colonial powers and Japan. Consequently, this situation gave rise to numerous conflicts regarding the future direction of the state in international relations, as well as debates over the applicability of European experiences among reformers and conservatives. This article examines the key figures associated with the Chincheongpa and analyzes the underlying reasons for their sustained support of maintaining vassal-suzerain relations with China.
