Variations of Heavy Ions in Interplanetary Shock Driven by Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections and Stream Interaction Regions
Authors: Wang Cong , Ye Qian , Li Mu , He Fei , Zhang Xiaoxin 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In the solar wind, the fluctuation of heavy ion abundance serves as a crucial physical metric. This not only mirrors the attributes of the solar wind’s originating solar region but also signifies its influence on Earth’s magnetosphere. Utilizing data from the Advanced Composition Explorer satellite, this investigation scrutinizes heavy ion variations in stream interaction region (SIR)- and interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME)-driven shocks. We further delineate the disparities in heavy ion fluctuations between these two types of interplanetary shocks across diverse solar activity cycles. Our findings reveal that ICME-driven shocks typically manifest elevated shock velocities and magnetic field strengths relative to their SIR-driven counterparts. Additionally, heavy ion abundance ratios, such as C6+/O4+, O7+/O6+, He/O, Si/O, and Fe/O, are consistently higher in ICME-driven shocks than in SIR-driven shocks. During varying solar activity cycles, these ratios surge postarrival of ICME-driven shocks. At solar maximum, these elevated ratios persist, whereas they revert to baseline levels swiftly during solar minimum. For SIR-driven shocks, the alteration in heavy ion abundance ratios is comparatively subdued, yet a noteworthy correlation with the solar activity cycle is evident.
Réceptions (anti)dialectiques de Nietzsche
Authors: Falconieri Alessandro 
Published: April 2024

En se situant à cheval entre plusieurs disciplines comme la géographie radicale, la sociologie urbaine et la philosophie politique, les tentatives de faire dialoguer la pensée de Michel Foucault et le marxisme « hétérodoxe » d’Henri Lefebvre ont enrichi, surtout dans les dernières décennies, une vaste littérature, au risque cependant de cacher un nœud théorique fondamental et commun à la pensée de ces deux auteurs, à savoir la philosophie de Friedrich Nietzsche. L’objectif de cet article sera donc d’explorer l’importance que la philosophie nietzschéenne a eue dans les parcours intellectuels de Foucault et Lefebvre à la fois, dans la tentative d’en souligner les points d’incompatibilité conceptuelle censés nous mettre en garde face à la tentation d’établir des voisinages parfois trop immédiats entre deux approches théoriques radicalement différentes et marquées par un rapport tout à fait singulier à Marx, au marxisme français, mais aussi à la philosophie de Nietzsche.
Macron : bilan du « septennat »

Près de quatre ans après la défaite arménienne contre l’Azerbaïdjan en 2020 et un an après la tragédie dans le Haut-Karabakh, vidé de sa population arménienne en quelques jours dans l’indifférence de la communauté internationale, comment l’Arménie évolue-t-elle, entre guerre en Ukraine et en tensions au Proche-Orient ? Quels enseignements a-t-elle tiré de ces récentes épreuves pour conforter son avenir en tant qu’État souverain ?
Le secret de l’accompagnement spirituel doit-il être remis en question ?
Authors: Langue Patrick 
Published: April 2024

Dans le contexte de la formation sacerdotale (propédeutique et séminaire) comment articuler for interne et for externe alors que le récent Rapport de la Ciase a désabsolutisé le secret dans l’accompagnement spirituel au nom de la protection des victimes d’abus dans l’Église ? On rappellera les fondements du secret de la « direction spirituelle », on montrera les difficultés rencontrées par l’incitation de la Commission, et on suggérera des voies pour que le gouvernement des séminaires puisse contribuer à une meilleure sécurité dans l’Église et la société.
La critique théâtrale dans la presse Indochinoise : le cas de L’Avenir du Tonkin et La Fille du Tambour-Major entre 1895 et 1900
Authors: Nguyen Khieu Anh 
Published: April 2024

Comment peut-on parler du théâtre dans un contexte colonial ? Quels sont les modèles à suivre et quelles écritures puissent y émerger ? Le présent article propose d’étudier le cas de L’Avenir du Tonkin (1884-1941), le doyen des quotidiens publiés à Tonkin (Indochine) à l’époque coloniale et ses comptes rendus des représentations entre 1895 et 1900 de La Fille du Tambour-Major (1879), l’opéra-comique en 3 actes et 4 tableaux de Jacques Offenbach, une pièce aux couleurs patriotiques.
Les pollutions dues aux accidents : un angle mort ?
Authors: Bonnemains Jacky 
Published: April 2024

Les pollutions après les accidents sur les Installations Classées pour la Protection de l’Environnement sont de mieux en mieux prises en compte. Mais après de nombreux accidents et notamment des incendies, la banalisation reste une priorité. Les clichés habituels, « plus de peur que de mal », « les déchets sont partis en fumées », « le vent les a dispersées », les propos rassurants des pompiers repris par les préfets poussent au plus vite au retour à la normale quand bien même s’est produit un évènement anormal et pénalisant l’environnement et la santé publique. Un angle mort majeur concerne les installations non classées. La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris en est l’exemple le plus frappant. Les catastrophes de demain avec les nouveaux modes de propulsion décarbonés ne sont pas anticipées. Les pollutions de l’extraction du lithium, du cobalt et des autres métaux rares à l’étranger et en France sont elles aussi masquées. Il est urgent que le public soit informé de ces risques nouveaux et que les moyens de lutte proportionnés soient appréciés, financés et mis en place.
Polluer moins ici, polluer plus ailleurs ? La compétitivité de l’Europe
Authors: Bourdon Éric , Normant Emmanuel , Prudhon Philippe 
Published: April 2024

Polluer ici ou ailleurs, c’est d’abord apporter des solutions ici et ailleurs ! Les entreprises se développent en premier lieu là où les marchés sont vigoureux, et beaucoup des entreprises françaises sont au cœur de la transformation environnementale de leur chaîne de valeur par les solutions et les services qu’elles développent. Et elles agissent de même au quotidien pour diminuer leur empreinte environnementale. Mais elles font face à une concurrence forte, à la fois pour choisir où se développer, mais aussi face à des concurrents qui pourraient venir de zones avec des contraintes plus faibles. La décarbonation de notre économie, la souveraineté de notre pays sont autant d’opportunités pour investir sur notre territoire. Pour réussir et accélérer ces transitions, il est nécessaire d’intégrer un certain nombre de paramètres clés (coût de l’énergie, équité de la réglementation, équité technologique, délai d’instruction pour ouvrir une usine…) afin d’assurer la souveraineté de la France et de l’Europe et de minimiser les impacts environnementaux.
Les défis des technologies quantiques
Authors: Pavel Ilarion 
Published: April 2024

Le développement des technologies quantiques est aujourd’hui l’objet d’importants efforts de recherche, mais les résultats seront-ils à la hauteur des attentes ? L’ordinateur quantique peut résoudre certains problèmes difficiles, qui demandent à l’ordinateur classique un temps de calcul trop important, et peut également attaquer les schémas actuels de cryptage. Cependant, la réalisation d’un ordinateur quantique suffisamment puissant pour résoudre des problèmes pratiques demeure un véritable défi technologique. Il existe plusieurs technologies d’implémentation hardware , chacune avec ses avantages et ses inconvénients. Comme ils sont plus faciles à réaliser, la recherche se dirige également vers la mise au point d’ordinateurs quantiques analogiques et de simulateurs quantiques. Parallèlement, ces travaux ont pour conséquence la conception de capteurs extrêmement sensibles, qui ont de nombreuses applications dans l’industrie de la prospection géologique, dans l’imagerie médicale, dans les technologies militaires et la mise au point de nouvelles méthodes de cryptage immunes contre l’attaque par un algorithme quantique.
Architectenwoningen in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest (1830-1970)
Authors: Voorde Stephanie Van de , Raaffels Linsy , Wee Barbara Van der , Bertels Inge 
Published: April 2024

Les maisons d’architecte constituent une catégorie de logements à part, qui revêtent une signification particulière en tant que « carte de visite » de l’architecte, projet expérimental, aboutissement ou synthèse de l’ensemble de son œuvre, englobant des caractéristiques stylistiques, géographiques, techniques, sociales et autres. Toutefois, afin de saisir pleinement l’importance et la valeur ajoutée de ce genre architectural, il est essentiel de disposer d’un cadre théorique et typologique bien défini pour comprendre les maisons d’architecte. Sur la base des données recueillies à partir d’inventaires et de documents existants, de recherches dans les archives et de visites sur le terrain, un vaste registre dans lequel sont recensées 370 maisons d’architecte de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale a été établi, qui constitue le point de départ de l’analyse. Ce registre se concentre sur la période de 1830 à 1970, au cours de laquelle la construction de maisons d’architecte et de logements en général s’est intensifiée. Il comprend des maisons d’architecte emblématiques et célèbres, ainsi que des exemples moins connus, dans des proportions à peu près égales : nombre de ces édifices n’étaient pas répertoriés auparavant et peuvent désormais être qualifiés à juste titre de maisons d’architecte. Témoignant de la diversité de ces maisons, le registre constitue la base indispensable pour apprécier de manière approfondie les différents cas, ainsi que la maison d’architecte en tant que type de bâtiment particulier.
Continuity and innovation in glazed tableware consumption in North Africa from the Fatimid to Zirid periods
Authors: Salinas Elena , Reynolds Paul , Pradell Trinitat 
Published: April 2024

Excavations in the former Roman port of Utica (North Tunisia) by the University of Oxford and the INP (Tunisie) have revealed an area of medieval Islamic houses in the area of the Roman forum. Stratified sequences of pottery have established four main phases of occupation which would appear to span the mid-10th to mid-11th century. The range of glazed wares and other classes of pottery is summarised per phase and a detailed study of the glaze technologies of 23 samples through time can now be compared with the study of 14 vessels previously published from Bir Ftouha, near Carthage. The Utica assemblage demonstrates that there were major changes in the consumption of glazed wares from the late Fatimid period to Zirid independent rule, not only in relation to forms and types of decoration but also in terms of glazing techniques. Up to six different glazing techniques have been identified, including transparent and opaque glazes and overglaze and underglaze decoration. Moreover, the presence of several glaze imports has been detected, showing that glazed pottery other than those produced in the central region of Ifriqiya was being consumed in North Tunisia. This work also provides relevant information with regard to the production and consumption of glazed wares in medieval Tunisia during the 10th and 11th centuries.

Published: April 2024

Meningioma represents the most frequent tumor of the central nervous system (CNS). Correlations between the presence of mast cells (MCs) and grade or other histological features of meningioma are still debated. Our study aimed to better understand the relationship between mast cells and meningiomas and to compare our results based on specific histological subtypes and novel 2021 CNS WHO grading system. We observed some differences as regards the number of MCs and meningioma grade. In low-grade (grade 1) meningiomas, MCs were observed in 7/22 cases, while they were consistently present in all eight high-grade cases (grade 2 and grade 3). Among the grade 1 meningiomas, we observed two “low-positive”, two “intermediate-positive”, and three “high-positive” cases. Among the group of high-grade meningiomas, the six cases grade 2 were considered as “low-positive”, while the two grade 3 cases showed a higher number of MCs and were included in the “intermediate-positive” group. Even though with no statistical significance, due to the low number of cases, our results seem to confirm a sort of relationship between meningioma grading and the number of MCs, as demonstrated by the higher percentage of high-grade meningiomas showing MCs infiltrates, compared to low-grade meningiomas.
The colonial state, land-use policy and local responses in Seke Reserve, Rhodesia: 1935 to 1958
Authors: Makombe Eric K. , Masakure Clement 
Published: April 2024

From the late 1920s onwards, the state in colonial Zimbabwe began reordering African areas to arrest an impending ecological disaster while increasing their carrying capacity. The state introduced far-reaching land-use measures anchored on several immutable tenets, such as that African reserves had to finance their own progress and sustain themselves within the demarcated boundaries. The reordering within Seke Reserve began with centralisation in 1935 and was reinforced following the passage of the Natural Resources Act of 1941 and the Native Land Husbandry Act (NLHA) of 1951. This article is one of the few studies that grasp these three colonial policies simultaneously and highlights the knock-on effects each had on the other. It sheds light on these land-use measures, explores their implementation and impacts and shows how the locals responded to these changes. The period under review in this article has generally been given cursory attention as a fleeting backdrop to why the colonial state implemented the NLHA. Nonetheless, this article maintains that the critical factors that led to the demise of the NLHA are certainly discernible in this period. Hence, we assert that the colonial state’s insistence on proceeding to enact the NLHA was just another classic example of colonial arrogance and the scapegoating of Africans for the agroecological problems in the reserves. The article made extensive use of archival material from the Native Affairs Department as well as from the phenomenological recollections of several elderly inhabitants within the Seke Reserve captured through oral history interviews.Contribution: The clarification of the interdependence of the three colonial programmes regarding existing land-use policies, their implementation, impacts and local responses significantly adds to the limited body of knowledge currently available.
Cryotherapy in chronic plaque psoriasis: an effective therapeutic modality
Authors: Kumar Rajiv , Mahajan Mohita , Mahajan Bharat Bhushan 
Published: April 2024

Background
Psoriasis is a common, chronic, inflammatory, and proliferative condition of the skin in which both genetic and environmental factors have a critical role. Various topical and systemic drugs which are given as rotational and sequential therapies are commonly prescribed as treatment. However, these are often not effective in prolonging the remission of chronic plaque psoriasis.

Aims and objectives
To assess the therapeutic efficacy of cryotherapy in chronic plaque psoriasis.

Methodology
A prospective study on 50 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis was undertaken. Patients were treated with six consecutive sessions of cryotherapy at weekly intervals and further followed-up for another 6 weeks.

Results
It was observed that among 128 plaques of psoriasis vulgaris, 63 (49%) plaques showed G5 improvement while 40 (73%) among 55 plaques of palmoplantar psoriasis had G5 improvement. Thus, palmoplantar lesions responded better as compared with cutaneous lesions.

Conclusion
Cryotherapy using nitrous oxide as cryogen has been proven to be an effective therapeutic modality not only for treatment but also for prolonging the remission in localized plaque psoriasis.
Proportion of Urinary Tract Infection in Children between 6 Months to 5 Years of Age Presenting with Fever
Authors: Mundada Shivprasad , Kumar Ayush 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Purpose:
Fever serves as the most frequent cause of visits to emergency/outpatient pediatric departments among children under the age of five. Very frequently, the youngster is given antibiotics on an arbitrary basis without receiving the proper examination for a urinary tract infection (UTI). This study’s goals were to assess the prevalence of UTIs in febrile children between 6 months and 5 years of age. To study the proportion of UTIs in children between 6 months and 5 years presenting with fever. To study the association of various risk factors with UTI.

Methodology:
This Cross-sectional Descriptive observational research was done in the Pediatric department of tertiary care hospital from August 2020 to December 2022, in febrile kids between 6 months and 5 years age group using different variables. Association between two qualitative variables was seen by using Chi-square/Fischer’s exact test. A P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant whereas a P < 0.001 was considered highly significant.

Results:
Among the total study population, it was found that 5.58% of the patients with fever without focus had a UTI, while the majority of patients, 94.42% did not have a UTI but had fever without a specific focus. In UTI cases, urine culture growth patterns showed the presence of different isolates, including Escherichia coli (30.43%), Klebsiella (56.52%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.7%), and Candida (4.34%).

Conclusion:
In the present research, the overall occurrence of UTI in children <5 years with fever without focus was 5.58%. Patients with significant pyuria and positive urine culture (UTI) were 43.75% and with significant pyuria but the sterile culture was 56.25%. So, it is concluded that significant pyuria can be sterile pyuria and cannot be labeled as UTI without confirmation on the urine culture report.

Authors: Bhuyan Chinmoy , Saha Dipankar , Rabha Bipul 
Published: April 2024

Background & objectives:
At present, use of synthetic pesticides to manage insects and other arthropods creates a number of issues that are related to the environment and public health. The goal of the present study is to find repellent activity of Vitex negundo and Curcuma longa herbal extracts against the wild species Simulium (blackfly) bite.

Methods:
We have studied Simulium biting behavior and tested the repellency of herbal extract obtained from Vitex negundo L. (Lamiales: Lamiaceae) and Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberal: Zingiberaceae) along with their essential oils in three locations in Arunachal Pradesh, India on human volunteers’ resistance to Simulium (blackflies). The reported herbal extracts were incorporated to topical drug delivery vehicle as a cream and gel.

Results:
The methanolic extract of Vitex negundo cream and gel formulation showed >2 h safety at 5% concentration and >5 h safety at 10% concentration in all the testing sites followed by ethyl acetate extract. Whereas, chloroform extract of Curcuma longa cream and gel formulation provided >1 h safety at 5% concentration and >4 h safety at 10% concentration.

Interpretation & conclusion:
At an optimum concentration of 10%, the methanolic extract of Vitex negundo cream provided complete protection times (CPTs) 320.4, 358.6, and 346.4 min, respectively. These findings offer confirmation of the methanolic extract and chloroform extract potential for use in new blackfly repellents.
Transperineal biopsy as a new technique versus well-established transrectal biopsy for diagnosis of prostate cancer – A comparative study
Authors: Eltafahny Abdelrahman , Alshamlan Yosef , Almazeedi Abdulrahman , Aldousari Saad , Salem Shady Mohamed 
Published: April 2024

Introduction:
Transrectal (TR) prostate biopsy has been the gold standard for prostate cancer diagnosis for years. With the emergence of transperineal (TP) prostatic biopsy, there is a shift in practice across medical services to adopt TP biopsy as the primary method of prostatic biopsy.

Objective:
The objective of the study is to compare cancer detection rates and complications between TP and TR biopsies in our region providing single-center experience with introduction of TP biopsy.

Patients and Methods:
This is a retrospective study utilizing a prospectively designed database comparing consecutive 80 cases of TP biopsy to 80 cases of TR biopsy in a single center.

Results:
Prebiopsy PSA was 14.2 ± 24.9 ng/dl in the TP group versus 23.7 ± 71.3 ng/dl in the TR group with P = 0.108. Prostate Imaging–Reporting and Data System (PIRAD) 4 and 5 lesions were found in 47 (58.9%) cases of TP biopsy versus 44 (60.3%) of TR group cases and P = 0.131. Cancer was detected in 49 (61.25%) patients in the TP group versus 45 (56.25%) in the TR group with no statistically significant difference and P = 0.665. No cases of hematochezia was reported in TP group, vs 14 (17.5%) reported in TR group with P value <.001. There were no statistically significant differences regarding the incidence of febrile urinary tract infection (UTI), hematuria, and hematospermia in the TP group 0 (0%), 7 (8.75%), and 3 (3.75%) versus 2 (2.50%), 14 (17.50%), and 5 (6.25%) in the TR group with P = 0.497, 0.159, and 0.719 consecutively.

Conclusion:
TP and TR biopsy have comparable cancer detection rates. TP biopsy has a significantly lower rectal bleeding rate than TR biopsy. There is a trend toward lower febrile UTI in the TP group; however, it did not reach statistical significance.
Chemical composition and in vitro neutral detergent fibre digestibility of treated rice straw supplemented with pigeon pea (<i>Cajanus cajan</i>) hay
Authors: Ansah T. 
Published: April 2024

The study investigated the chemical composition and in vitro neutral detergent fiber (NDF) digestibility of treated rice straw supplemented with pigeon pea hay. The treated rice straw comprised fungi-treated (Pleurotus sajor-caju) rice straw (FTRS), ammonia- treated rice straw (ATRS) and untreated rice straw (UnTRS). The three treated rice straws were supplemented with or without 50% pigeon pea hay in a completely randomised design experiment. The crude protein (CP) concentration of fungi (4.4%) and ammonia (8.3%) treated rice straw appreciated relative to the untreated (2.8%) rice straw. Similarly, the treatment of rice straw influenced the NDF (FTRS [63.9%], ATRS[73.8%],UnTRS[73.4%]) and ADF(ftrs[38.6%], ATRS[41.1%] UnTRS[40.4%]) concentration. The supplementation of rice straw with pigeon pea hay reduced NDF (FTRS [54.8%], ATRS [59.4%] uNtrs [62.5%]) and and ADF (FTRS [27.4%, ATRS [13.6%] UnTRS [30.7%]) concentrations compared with the un-supplemented. In vitro dry matter true digestibility (IVDMTD) of the UnTRS was about 20% (P<0.05) less than the NH3TRS + Pigeon pea. The neutral detergent fibre digestibility (NDFD %) was significantly lower in the UnTRS compared to the other treatments. The digestible neutral detergent fibre (dNDF %) decreased in the order of NH3TRS + Pigeon pea < FTRS < FTRS + Pigeon pea < Sole Pigeon pea hay < UnTRS + Pigeon pea < UnTRS. The UnTRS had a significantly higher indigestible neutral detergent fibre (iNDF) than the other treatments. In conclusion, rice straw's nutrient composition and digestibility improved when treated with ammonia or fungi and supplemented with pigeon pea hay.
