BackgroundThis study evaluates the implications of blood pressure homeostasis in bilateral vs. unilateral carotid surgeries, focusing on the incidence of postoperative hypertension, hyperperfusion syndrome, and stroke as primary outcomes. It further delves into the secondary outcomes encompassing major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.MethodsSpanning two decades (2002-2023), this comprehensive retrospective research encompasses 15,369 carotid referrals, out of which 1,230 underwent carotid interventions. A subset of 690 patients received open carotid procedures, with a 10-year follow-up, comprising 599 unilateral and 91 bilateral surgeries. The Society for Vascular Surgery Carotid Reporting Standards underpin our methodological approach for data collection. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were utilized to identify factors associated with postoperative hypertension using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22 (SPSS®, IBM® Corp., Armonk, N.Y., USA).ResultsA marked acute elevation in blood pressure was observed in patients undergoing both unilateral and bilateral carotid surgeries (p &lt; 0.001). Smoking (OR: 1.183, p = 0.007), hyperfibrinogenemia (OR: 0.834, p = 0.004), emergency admission (OR: 1.192, p = 0.005), severe ipsilateral carotid stenosis (OR: 1.501, p = 0.022), and prior ipsilateral interventions (OR: 1.722, p = 0.003) emerged as significant factors that correlates with postoperative hypertension in unilateral surgeries. Conversely, in bilateral procedures, gender, emergency admissions (p = 0.012), and plaque morphology (p = 0.035) significantly influenced postoperative hypertension. Notably, 2.2% of bilateral surgery patients developed hyperperfusion syndrome, culminating in hemorrhagic stroke within 30 days. Intriguingly, postoperative stage II hypertension was identified as an independent predictor of neurological deficits post-secondary procedure in bilateral CEA cases (p = 0.004), attributable to hyperperfusion syndrome. However, it did not independently predict myocardial infarction or mortality outcomes. The overall 30-day stroke rate stood at 0.90%. Lowest incidence of post operative hypertension or any complications were observed in eversion carotid endartrertomy.ConclusionThe study identifies postoperative hypertension as a crucial independent predictor of perioperative stroke following bilateral carotid surgery. Moreover, the study elucidates the significant impact of bilateral CEA on the development of post-operative hyperperfusion syndrome or stroke, as compared to unilateral CEA. Currently almost 90% of our carotid practice is eversion carotid endartrerectomy.

Published: April 2024

The colour of seafood flesh is often not homogenous, hence measurement of colour requires repeat measurements to obtain a representative average. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal number of repeat colour measurements required for three different devices [machine vision (digital image using camera, and computer processing); Nix Pro; Minolta CR400 colorimeter] when measuring three species of seafood (Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, n = 8; rockling, Genypterus tigerinus, n = 8; banana prawns, Penaeus merguiensis, n = 105) for raw and cooked samples. Two methods of analysis for number of repeat measurements required were compared. Method 1 was based on minimising the standard error of the mean and Method 2 was based on minimising the difference in colour over repeat measurements. Across species, using Method 1, machine vision required an average of four repeat measurements, whereas Nix Pro and Minolta required 13 and 12, respectively. For Method 2, machine vision required an average of one repeat measurement compared to nine for Nix Pro and Minolta. Machine vision required fewer repeat measurements due to its lower residual variance: 0.51 compared to 3.2 and 2.5 for Nix Pro and Minolta, respectively. In conclusion, machine vision requires fewer repeat measurements than colorimeters to precisely measure the colour of salmon, prawns, and rockling.
La phonétisation automatique du français : émergence de règles ou de lexiques ?
Authors: Aubergé Véronique , Belrhali Rahia 
Published: April 2024

Nous montrons comment une méthodologie basée sur un principe d’optimisation logique des unités de correspondances lettres-sons dans un large corpus (un lexique déformés canoniques du français, Le 60 000, et les références phonétiques du Petit Robert,), permet de faire émerger une classification linguistique des phénomènes de phonétisation.
Une grammaire substrat primitive, constituant le noyau de la phonétisation, a été étendue en adoptant une méthodologie de bootstrapping. Cette description est donnée en langage formel TOPH, qui permet d’intégrer règles et lexiques au sein d’une même logique de phonétisation. Une unité minimale de correspondance, le graphone, permet de reconstituer les variations du graphème. Des sous-systèmes, décrivant des sous-lexiques, sont clairement isolés comme des transferts phonologiques de langues-source vers le français.
Variants/invariants linguistiques dans les « enfantines » du folklore des écoliers
Authors: Chauvin Carole 
Published: April 2024

L’intérêt des spécialistes pour le folklore enfantin a débuté vers les années 1930-1940. Cet intérêt relativement tardif est sans doute lié à ce que Brian Sutton-Smith (Sutton-Smith, 1970 : 1-8) a appelé « the triviality barrier ». Étudier les coutumes apparemment simples et triviales des enfants semblait relever d’une activité elle-même triviale. Pourtant, le folklore enfantin est particulièrement riche quant aux traditions langagières, musicales et gestuelles qui perdurent, se transmettent et évoluent.
Dans le cadre de nos recherches, nous nous sommes intéressée à l’étude du folklore des écoliers (constituant une partie du folklore enfantin), le milieu scolaire/récréatif nous apparaissant comme l’un des plus favorables à l’observation et à l’analyse des pratiques ludiques enfantines.
Nous décrirons ici les phénomènes de variabilité et/ou de stabilité linguistique concernant le lexique et la structure formelle de l’énoncé.

Сенсоневральная тугоухость различной степени выраженности и эпилепсия могут сосуществовать при различных клинических синдромах, в том числе в рамках орфанных генетических заболеваний. В статье представлен клинический случай электроакустической коррекции слуха у пациента с синдромом эпилепсии, потери слуха и умственной отсталости, ассоциированным с мутациями в гене SPATA5. Электроакустическая стимуляция у пациентов с эпилепсией и снижением слуха теоретически сопряжена с риском возникновения эпилептических эпизодов, поскольку у этих пациентов имеются структурные или метаболические нарушения ЦНС, связанные с повышенным риском развития судорог. Слухоречевая реабилитация пациента проводилась посредством бинаурального слухопротезирования вначале и далее, в связи с неэффективностью слуховых аппаратов, проведения кохлеарной имплантации и последующей бимодальной стимуляции. В процессе динамического наблюдения за данным пациентом при использовании слуховых аппаратов, речевого процессора кохлеарного импланта, а также при дальнейшей бимодальной стимуляции увеличения эпиактивности на ЭЭГ не отмечалось. Электроакустическая коррекция слуха позволила расширить слуховые возможности данного пациента и улучшить качество его жизни.
Sensorineural hearing loss, of varying severity, and epilepsy can coexist in various clinical syndromes, including orphan genetic diseases. The article presents a clinical case of electroacoustic hearing correction in a patient with the syndrome of epilepsy, hearing loss and mental retardation associated with mutations in the SPATA5 gene. Electroacoustic stimulation in patients with epilepsy and hearing loss is theoretically associated with the risk of epileptic episodes, since these patients have structural or metabolic disorders of the CNS associated with an increased risk of seizures. Hearing-speech rehabilitation of the patient was carried out by means of binaural hearing aids at the beginning and later, due to the ineffectiveness of hearing aids, cochlear implantation and subsequent bimodal stimulation. In the process of dynamic monitoring of this patient with the use of hearing aids, the speech processor of the cochlear implant, as well as with further bimodal stimulation, no increase in EEG epiactivity was noted. Electroacoustic hearing correction allowed to expand the auditory capabilities of this patient and improve his quality of life.

Introduction: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin used by the body for bone development and maintenance through the increased absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate. Vitamin D deficiency, or insufficiency, has been identified as a global problem that affects at least one billion people worldwide. The presence of muscle weakness, falls, and fractures associated with vitamin D deficiency is frequent in the elderly; however, its impact on young people is little known.
Clinical Case: We present the case of a 34-year-old male with no sun exposure and a history of consuming alcoholic beverages, presenting with progressive muscle weakness and a non-traumatic bilateral humeral fracture associated with vitamin D deficiency. We also describe the diagnostic-therapeutic approach as well as review the literature and its current importance.
Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is common and often unrecognized, yet it can play an important role in exacerbating underlying pathologies, especially in vulnerable populations. Proximal humerus fractures are common among elderly patients, but not in young people, and less in the absence of trauma. In low-energy fractures without obvious traumatic mechanisms, greater prevalence has been observed in patients with low vitamin levels.
La transe afro-brésilienne, un travail sur le corps pour communiquer avec les dieux
Authors: Guméry Claude 
Published: April 2024

Dans les religions afro-brésiliennes, le contact avec les divinités s’établit par le biais de la transe. L’article, qui se fonde sur les travaux de Roger Bastide et Pierre Verger, identifie qui sont les personnes aptes à entrer en transe pour communiquer avec les dieux. On étudie ensuite comment elles préparent leur corps à recevoir leur dieu, et comment elles l’entretiennent de façon à ce que la transe puisse se répéter au cours de la vie religieuse d’une communauté. Ces personnes jouissent d’un statut social particulier au sein de la communauté, car d’une part elles ont commerce avec les dieux, et d’autre part ce commerce leur donne pouvoir à orienter la vie de la communauté. Il y a donc interaction entre le corps de l’individu et le corps social qui l’entoure et qui adhère à la croyance. L’anthropologie moderne a redonné un statut à la fois aux « possédés » et aux cultes afro-brésiliens, alors que les premiers scientifiques qui les ont étudiés ne voyaient en la transe que la manifestation d’une folie.
Analyse d’une chanson de tradition orale : articulation entre poétique et imaginaire
Authors: Charnier Brigitte 
Published: April 2024

Analyser une chanson de tradition orale française dans le cadre d’une thèse de littérature et dans une perspective mythique nécessite une démarche atypique d’autant que cette complainte se décline en plus d’une vingtaine de versions. Ce sujet étant peu traité, il a fallu tout d’abord définir l’objet « chanson de tradition orale », ce qui a eu comme mérite de mettre en relief les différents acteurs ayant présidé à la création de cette notion : folkloristes et médiévistes ont montré les pistes à suivre et jalonné les investigations menées dans le cadre de cette thèse. Grâce à leurs analyses, il a été possible de rendre visibles des critères poétiques spécifiques à la tradition orale et de constituer un corpus représentatif de l’oralité. Il est rapidement apparu qu’une analyse formelle était indissociable d’une quête du sens, de même que croiser les disciplines et pratiquer l’art du comparatisme afin de débusquer à travers contes, légendes et tradition orale un éventuel scénario mythique originel. Face à l’originalité de la complainte, celui‑ci est vite apparu comme réducteur et ce n’est qu’à travers l’étymologie, l’hagiographie et l’onomastique qu’il a été possible d’affiner les analyses et de proposer une interprétation herméneutique.
Carte d’identité linguistique des odeurs
Authors: Kleiber Georges 
Published: April 2024

Nous ne nous intéresserons ici qu’au problème bien connu de l’identification des odeurs. Nous exposerons d’abord, dans une première partie, quelle est la situation dénominative à laquelle donnent lieu les noms d’odeurs, en examinant le statut des noms généralement reconnus comme tels. Nous montrerons qu’il ne s’agit pas de véritables odoronymes, mais qu’ils se divisent en deux catégories, les noms « généraux », qui fonctionnent au même niveau qu’odeur, et les faux noms d’odeurs qui sont uniquement des spécifieurs d’odeurs. Notre seconde partie analysera la construction odeur de N à laquelle on recourt habituellement pour identifier les odeurs particulières. Nous essaierons de dégager, à partir de ses caractéristiques, les raisons de son succès.
L’Analyse de scènes audio‑visuelles : un paradigme venu de la Gestalt, en plein essor pour l’étude de la multimodalité du langage
Authors: Troille Émilie 
Published: April 2024

Dans cet article nous déclinerons langage et images, en parole et visage, en mouvements anticipés, imaginés et en illusions du son par l’image. Ce sera l’occasion pour nous de revisiter la notion de Gestalt dont on a pu dire, depuis le structuralisme, qu’elle était définitivement dépassée. En ce qui concerne Les Structures anthropologiques de l’imaginaire de Gilbert Durand, on rappellera que la Gestalt n’est — même pas implicitement — une approche exclusivement statique de la cognition. Bien au contraire, nous montrerons que c’est à partir des mouvements qu’émergent les formes et que se stabilisent en mémoire la morphologie des gestes audibles et visibles de la bouche, saisis au vol dans le décours d’un flux de quelque quatre à six syllabes à la seconde, via la perception des coordinations motrices qu’il est nécessaire de maîtriser pour l’expression courante du langage entre humains. Nous appliquerons ici, pour les flux perceptifs du langage, l’Analyse de scènes, héritière de la Gestalt, y compris pour l’expression gestuelle du visage et de la main chez les sourds qui pratiquent la Langue française Parlée Complétée (LPC), adaptée du Cued Speech du Dr Richard Cornett (1967).
Calculation of the interaction between an overlapping spherical lens and a pin-type second optical element for spherical lens microtracking concentrator photovoltaic with a wide angle of incidence
Authors: Nakatani Masakazu 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) can efficiently convert light into electricity; however, conventional CPVs require large and heavy tracking systems. Microtracking CPVs (MTCPVs) can solve this significant problem. Most MTCPV systems have a limited angle of incidence (AOI). If diffuse light was used, MTCPV required traveling light from top to bottom. In this study, a spherical-lens-based microtracking CPV (SMTCPV) with a pin-type second optical element (SOE) was developed. In SMTCPV, the light travel light from above to below. Pin-type SOEs were inserted between the spherical lenses, thus increasing the acceptable wide AOI. Optical analysis and calculations of the interaction between overlapping spherical lenses and pin-type SOEs were performed. An optical efficiency of 59% was maintained at any angle when the gap was considered. The maximum AOI was 64.7° in the direction of adjacent spherical lenses and 90° in the gap direction.
The Correlation Between Working Posture and Work Duration and Non-Specific Neck Pain Symptoms in Computer User Employees
Authors: Mustafah Andi Siti Irfa Fidia , Hasbiah Nurhikmawaty , Rahmaniar Andi 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Longer work processes with non-ergonomic working postures by employees who use computers can certainly cause musculoskeletal tension. One of the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) associated with computer use is complaints of non-specific neck pain caused by a non-ergonomic posture of the neck muscles over a long period, which causes muscle tension. This study aims to determine the relationship between working posture and duration of work using a computer on non-specific neck pain complaints among Hasanuddin University Rectorate employees.Method: A cross-sectional research design was carried out on 121 administrative employees aged 22 years who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Assessment of working posture uses the Baseline Risk Identification of Ergonomic Factor (BRIEF) questionnaire, and for non-specific neck pain complaints using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. The Spearman's rho correlation test analyzes the relationship between variables.Results: 49 out of 121 respondents had a high-risk working posture for non-specific neck pain, and 59 out of 121 had a long working duration. Working posture is positively correlated with symptoms of non-specific neck pain (p = 0.001; r = 0.598). In contrast, work duration did not correlate with symptoms of non-specific neck pain (p = 0.063; r = 0.169).Conclusion: High-risk working postures can predict the incidence of non-specific neck pain in office administration employees. This can be a consideration for office leaders to pay attention to the working posture of their employees.Key words: Duration, non-specific neck pain, working posture
Deep Brain Stimulation for Alzheimer’s Disease: A Review of a Potential Treatment in Neurosurgery
Authors: Husodo Kharisma Ridho , Fa'izah Chintya Nur 
Published: April 2024

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is still a disease with abundant enigma. Moreover, the prevalence of AD increases every year by about 10 million new cases. This disease is well known for its degenerative feature with age being the most influencing factor. Pathophysiologically, the deposition of beta-amyloid and tau proteins is the culprit for disrupting the neural connections in the brains of AD patients. Some studies have stated that drug medications are not effective in treating AD patients.Content: Currently, there is no drug to cure the disease. In conditions in which drugs fail to take effect, there is a therapy called deep brain stimulation (DBS), which allows the brain to be stimulated electrically using electrodes that are implanted into certain brain areas as targets. In AD patients, the nucleus basalis of meynert (NBM) and fornix are frequently selected as targets in DBS. This intervention is performed surgically by the neurosurgeon. Several potential mechanisms of this treatment include controlling connections among neurons, decreasing beta-amyloid and tau protein levels, and inhibiting the inflammation process in the brain.Conclusion: DBS can improve AD patients, both clinically and molecularly. Despite the promising effects of DBS, this treatment has limitations, so it cannot be applied to every patient with AD.
Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors: Rahma Sitti 
Published: April 2024

Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) is a rare disorder characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema that occurs in the first three months of life. The incidence of CNS is about 1.5% of all cases of nephrotic syndrome in children, while the incidence in children is about 2 per 100,000. The pathogenesis of CNS is thought to be due to genetic defects in the components of the glomerular filtration barrier, particularly nephrin and podocin, which cause most similar cases. A perinatal infection may also cause CNS. The most common type of primary CNS is the Finnish type, inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. We report a case of a six-month-old male patient who presented with swelling of the face, abdomen, and genitals since the age of 3 months, which had worsened a week before admission to the hospital. There was no history of nausea, vomiting, fever, or seizures, and the child could drink milk. Physical examination revealed ascites with positive shifting dullness and pretibial, dorsum pedis, and scrotum edema. The liver and spleen were difficult to assess. Laboratory examination revealed leukocytosis (27.8x103/µL), anemia (7.7 g/dL), thrombocytosis (537x103/μL), hypoalbuminemia (1.5 g/dL), dyslipidemia (total cholesterol 374 mg/dL, HDL 7 mg/dL, LDL 69 mg/dL, triglycerides 1196 mg/dL), proteinuria (+3/300), and hematuria (+3/200). A history of urological ultrasound showed right and left nephropathy with mild hydronephrosis and ascites. To sum up, we reported male patient 6 months with congenital nephrotic syndrome. Chromosomal analysis is recommended in this case.
The Awakening of a Blazar at Redshift 2.7 Temporally Coincident with the Arrival of Cospatial Neutrino Event IceCube-201221A

Abstract
We report on multiwavelength studies of a blazar NVSS J171822+423948, which is identified as the low-energy counterpart of 4FGL J1718.5+4237, the unique γ-ray source known to be cospatial with the IceCube neutrino event IC-201221A. After a 12 yr long quiescent period undetected by Fermi-LAT, γ-ray activities with a tenfold flux increase emerge soon (a few tens of days) after the arrival of the neutrino. Associated optical flares in the Zwicky Transient Facility g, r, and i bands are observed together with elevated Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer infrared fluxes. Synchronized variations suggest that both the γ-ray emission and the neutrino event are connected to the blazar. Furthermore, the optical spectrum reveals emission lines at a redshift z = 2.68 ± 0.01. Thus, it is the first candidate for a neutrino-emitting blazar at the redshift above 2. Discussions of theoretical constraints of neutrino production and comparisons with other candidates are presented.
