Écouter et voir : identifier et analyser des connaissances musicales lors de transcréations visuelles avec un outil numérique
Authors: Chatelain Sabine , Trajanoski Antonio , Chapuisat Florence 
Published: January 2025

Les pratiques informelles d’écoute musicale via internet impliquent des liens entre le sonore et le visuel, notamment dans des animations visuelles d’œuvres musicales disponibles sur YouTube. Afin de tirer profit de ces pratiques dans le cadre scolaire, une situation d’écoute musicale permettant aux élèves de 11 à 16 ans de créer leurs propres animations vidéo par un outil numérique a été co-conçue par trois enseignants et une équipe d’enseignants-chercheurs. Dans une démarche de recherche-action itérative, ces situations ont été observées et analysées dans trois classes de la scolarité obligatoire et post-obligatoire en Suisse romande. Dans cet article, nous présentons une partie de cette étude en répondant à la question : comment identifier les connaissances musicales mobilisées par les élèves dans un dispositif d’écoute musicale de transcréation visuelle via un outil numérique ? En référence aux recherches sur l’interprétation des liens entre le sonore et le visuel à travers les concepts d’analogie et d’homologie, nous proposons une analyse qualitative des interactions verbales récoltées en classe. Les résultats montrent que le lien avec le visuel peut soutenir l’identification d’éléments musicaux selon les catégories d’analogie et d’homologie. Dans certains cas, les analogies établies écartent les élèves des apprentissages musicaux visés. La conception de l’outil semble jouer un rôle dans cette interprétation. Le concept d’homologie d’expérience permet d’identifier les références au ressenti corporel comme élément de compréhension musicale. Quelques implications de notre cadre d’analyse pour l’activité enseignante dans une situation d’écoute musicale en lien avec le visuel seront discutées.
La dimension culturelle dans l’aménagement du milieu au sein des processus ethnodidactiques mis en œuvre dans la transmission de musiques afro-brésiliennes au Brésil et en France
Authors: Guillot Gérald 
Published: January 2025

En France, depuis les années 1990, un dispositif didactique de pratique musicale collective, la batucada, a été introduite dans un certain nombre de classes d’enseignement secondaire. Des difficultés didactiques affectant l’apprentissage ont été observés, questionnant directement l’éducation interculturelle dans le domaine musical. Initialement identifiées comme le produit d’un double filtrage cognitif et culturel opéré inconsciemment par le sujet face à certains savoirs, ces difficultés sont à présent analysées selon un point de vue anthropo-didactique ; une hypothèse de travail formule qu’une situation didactique en lien avec l’enseignement-apprentissage de la musique est susceptible d’être perturbée par le différentiel entre les arrière-plans culturels respectifs des protagonistes de la relation didactique. Ces perturbations s’exprimeraient dans les formes d’aménagement du milieu didactique initial et dans les régulations subséquentes. Plusieurs brèves études de cas (en France, au Brésil) alimentent la réflexion.
Impacts of elevated carbon dioxide on the development and reproductive biology of Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Authors: Findlay Shelby , Zaman Rashaduz , Ishangulyyeva Guncha , Ullah Aziz , Erbilgin Nadir 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations are a major driver of climate change, posing a significant challenge to global ecosystem functions. This challenge is compounded by the potential effects of elevated CO2 on forest pest insects like the eastern spruce budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a major mortality agent in Canadian boreal forests. To better understand these impacts, this study investigates how elevated (1000 ppm) and ambient (469 ppm) CO2 concentrations affect budworm development across different life stages. In vitro experiments revealed that budworms exposed to the elevated CO2 concentration exhibited accelerated development, with increased larval weight gain from third to sixth instars, faster pupation and adult emergence, and earlier oviposition compared to those exposed to the ambient condition. However, elevated CO2 concentration led to reduced realised fecundity. These findings highlight the direct impact of elevated CO2 concentrations on budworm biology, with important implications for its role in forest ecosystems under climate change.

A Cross-Sectional Epidemiological Study of Abortions in a Rural Area of Delhi
Authors: Yadav Priyanka , Meena Gajendra S. , Kumar Rajesh , Sharma Nandini 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Abortions in India are increasing despite the laws to legalize them. Many abortions are conducted through unsafe practices and are underreported. To determine the prevalence of abortions in women of a reproductive age group in a rural area of Delhi and to determine associated factors.

Methodology:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among married women in the reproductive age group residing in Barwala village, Delhi/NCR. An interview schedule was used to interview 315 women, and information was obtained for socio-demography, use of contraceptives, medical history, and history of abortions. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test were used for analyzing the association of abortions with other variables.

Results:
Of all 315 women, 47% had a history of one or more abortions. Of all pregnancies (n = 953), 25.6% ended in abortions (n = 244). Of the total number of abortions reported, 60.7% (n = 148) were induced, while 39.3% (n = 96) were spontaneous. Of induced abortions, only 35% were safe, while 65% were unsafe abortions. Age of mother, age at marriage, history of contraception use, and gender of first child were significantly associated with abortions. However, no significant association was found with socio-economic status, education, and occupation of women and their spouses. Only 1.3% women knew that abortions are legal in India.

Conclusion:
A high proportion of women are going for induced abortions, of which a greater proportion is that of unsafe abortions. There is also lack of knowledge about the legalisation of abortions in India.

Published: January 2025

Background:
Sensitization plays a pivotal role in raising awareness about critical youth issues and encouraging them to access support services, contributing to the success of programs like Yuva Spandana, a youth-centric mental health promotion initiative in Karnataka, India. For youth to access support within YSKs, the quality and effectiveness of sensitization programs (SPs) are crucial. A standard quality assessment through indicators for SPs is required to provide recommendations for improvement. To enlist quality indicators and assess the quality of SP conducted under Yuva Spandana (YS) program across Karnataka.

Material and Methods:
We performed secondary data analysis (utilizing data available within the computerized management information system over 5 years; 2017-2022) and direct/in-person observation of SPs (by the researcher and the core team of YS between June and July 2022 using a specifically developed checklist). Quality indicators were developed using a process of consensus building. Each attribute within the checklist was scored, and a composite mean score and mean percentage scores for quality were calculated.

Results:
Overall, 33257 SP reports and 31 in-person SPs were assessed. A total of 36 quality indicators (10 quality indicators based on SP reports and 26 based on in-person observation) were developed. The average quality score of report-based SPs was 10.93 (±2.59; range 1-20) and in-person assessment was 63.06 (±6.61; range 50-73).

Conclusion:
The study emphasizes the importance of addressing all youth issues, including sensitive topics like gender, sex, and sexuality, to ensure a holistic approach to youth mental health. Challenges faced during program execution and the distribution of Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials also contribute to program quality. This research offers valuable insights for improving the conduct of SPs, enhancing youth access to services, and guiding future community-based health promotion initiatives.
Relevance of ‘Lentiform fork sign’ on MRI in definitive early diagnosis of uremic encephalopathy
Authors: Lahel Ranjit Singh , Vohra Gaurav , Chail Amit , Kumari Anju 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Uremic encephalopathy (UE) is a metabolic and neurological disorder related to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is frequently associated with metabolic acidosis. Typical imaging findings in the form of Lentiform fork sign under the gamut of ‘Central posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome’ have been considered specific in early diagnosis of UE.

Methods:
This descriptive hospital-based cross-sectional study was done including 23 patients with ESRD who were diagnosed as having UE over a period of 2 years, with a review of their clinical presentation, biochemical profiles, and imaging findings.

Results:
In patients with metabolic acidosis due to ESRD on irregular treatment, the Lentiform fork sign is characteristic and representative of a definitive diagnosis of UE.

Conclusion:
The affliction of the basal ganglia to severe metabolic acidosis and uremia makes the Lentiform fork sign a characteristic sign to diagnose UE in patients with ESRD on irregular treatment. Characteristic imaging findings contribute to establish a definitive diagnosis of UE and help institute early treatment to curtail mortality in such cases.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Postmenopausal osteoporosis and its complications cause significant morbidity and mortality, in elderly women. Having knowledge about bone health in young adult women is crucial to gain good bone strength and maintain it at an optimal level after menopause. The level of knowledge about postmenopausal osteoporosis in young adult women in diversified Indian society is largely unknown.

Aims and Objectives:
The aim of this study is to know the level of knowledge and awareness in young adult women, about postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Materials and Methods:
82 women of childbearing age attending the orthopedic outpatient department were studied during the month of December 2016 as cross-sectional study. Answers were recorded for a pre-structured questionnaire. Responses were recorded, and the results were analyzed and presented.

Results:
As per the individual total scores, the levels of knowledge and awareness of postmenopausal osteoporosis were low in 21.96%, moderate in 60.97%, and high in 17.07% of the women. 23.18% of the women had no knowledge about bone health, and 24.39% did not know any measures to maintain optimal bone strength. 80.49% of the women did not know what osteoporosis medically means. 92.68% did not know there is a risk from osteoporosis after attaining menopause.

Conclusion:
Education and health providers contributed considerably to the individual levels of knowledge and awareness of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Introducing knowledge of bone health and osteoporosis from high school level will be more effective. Media, posters, and SMS on mobile phones are the fields to be fully utilized for swift escalation of results.
A rare case of median nerve schwannoma in the cubital fossa
Authors: Mohan A. Ravi C. , Poldas Jyostna , Thobbi Vaibhav 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Schwannoma is a tumor that develops from the nerve sheath. The authors report an unusual case of schwannoma of the median nerve (MN) that presented with a swelling over the left elbow with symptoms of median neuropathy for a period of 2 years. The diagnosis was based on the location of the tumor, associated clinical symptoms, and signs coupled with magnetic resonance imaging and fine needle aspiration cytology results. Schwannomas are indolent tumors that can go undiagnosed for extended periods of time owing to their slow-growing nature and low propensity for malignancy. Schwannomas are most commonly observed in the MN, the commonest location being the carpal tunnel.

Authors: Vara Aarthi , Kalyani K , Swarajya M Lakshmi , Rekha Koppala , Anisha Cheriyaveetil Kozhukunon , Mansoor Ali Kodugade 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Nonfermenter bacteria which were previously considered as contaminants have now emerged as major cause of life-threatening healthcare-associated infections and as multidrug-resistant pathogens. Infections caused by them are predominantly secondary to some predisposing conditions like immunosuppression, burns, long-term antibiotic usage etc.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and antimicrobial resistance pattern of Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter spp. by comparing the results from ICUs to other units at a teaching hospital in Telangana.

Methods:
A retrospective study over a 2-year period where all the nonfermenter GNBs isolated from various clinical samples sent to bacteriology section of microbiology department between 2022 and 2023 were collected.

Results:
During the period of study, a total of 263 nonfermenter GNBs were obtained out of 1792 IP-positive cultures accounting for 14.6% of their prevalence. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (182/263) 69% was the common NFGNB isolated followed by Acinetobacter baumanii (81/263) accounting to 31% of NFGNB. Most common culture specimen received from ICU was endotracheal aspirate (33%), whereas from other units, pus was the common specimen (45%). Overall antimicrobial resistance rate was less toward carbapenems 15% and 32% in both Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanii, respectively.

Conclusion:
Our study shows high rate of NFGNB which raises the concern for rapidly emerging multidrug resistance. This requires the control of hospital environment and strict adherence to hand hygiene practices as well as rationale use of antibiotics by formulating the local antibiogram.
Stratified annual antibiogram and antimicrobial resistance trend report from a teaching hospital in Hyderabad, India

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Antibiograms are a vital tool in healthcare facilities, particularly in guiding empiric antimicrobial treatment. Antibiograms created by aggregating hospital-wide susceptibility data can be misleading and may not be appropriate for different settings in the hospital such as intensive care units, in-patient, and out-patient departments. In this study, we have stratified the antibiogram based on the hospital setting.

Materials and Methods:
The percentage susceptibility of the most common isolates, stratified by location, to individual antibiotics was calculated based on the CLSI 2022 recommended breakpoints. The breakpoints are interpreted as either susceptible (S) or non-susceptible (NS). Only the isolates that were >30 in number were included in the analysis.

Results:
A total of 947 first isolates (excluding duplicate isolates) of the common organisms isolated from clinical specimens, including urine, blood, pus, sputum, body fluids, etc., were analysed and described in charts. The most common organisms isolated were Escherichia coli (n = 365), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 290), Staphylococcus aureus (n = 135), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 80), and Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 77) in that order.

Discussion:
A higher prevalence of the overall resistance in the critical care setting of the ICU compared to inpatient (IP) and outpatient (OP) settings is concerning. This could be due to the higher antibiotic usage and selection pressure in ICUs, leading to a greater emergence of resistant strains. There is no denying that the AMR is only on the rise and our data goes on to testify the trend.

Conclusion:
Ongoing education of prescribers on the appropriate use of antibiograms is essential to ensure optimal therapy and outcomes. Multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship programs are vital to accomplishing these goals.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Antimicrobial resistance has assumed a global threat in worldwide. Due to unnecessary antibiotic use, there is an increase in the number of multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO). Hence, the present study is to know the antibacterial resistance pattern of microorganisms.

Aims and Objective:
The study estimates the prevalence of MDRO and the spectrum of clinical infections caused by these organisms in different wards of a tertiary care hospital in southern Odisha.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted by collecting all relevant data pertaining to the various clinical samples and their isolated bacterial culture along with their antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance pattern from microbiology record section.

Results:
Out of 706 cultures, urinary tract infection (UTI) was the most common infection (46.74%), followed by respiratory tract infection (RTI) which was about 25.92%. 42.20% of culture isolates showed multidrug resistance (MDR) pattern, whereas 23.79% of isolates showed possible extremely drug resistance pattern. Escherichia coli was the most common cause of UTI, and Staphylococcus aureus was the most commonly isolated pathogen causing RTI. Most of the organisms were susceptible to higher antibiotics only.

Conclusion:
The study concludes that irrational use of antibiotics leads to emergence of MDR organisms.
Distal renal tubular acidosis type I: A rare genetic disorder
Authors: Desai Roopali , Dandinavar Siddappa , Wari Prakash 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) comprises a group of disorders in which the excretion of hydrogen ions or reabsorption of filtered bicarbonate ions is impaired leading to metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap. Type I or distal RTA is a rare chronic genetic disorder characterized by an inability of the distal nephron to secrete hydrogen ions. An 8-year-old female child with normal growth and development till the age of 2 years, when the child was diagnosed with “Vitamin D-deficient rickets” and was put on treatment as per the protocol. At the age of 4 years, in another hospital, she was diagnosed with “Vitamin D-resistant rickets with pathological fractures.” At the age of 8 years, she presented to teaching hospital, with lower respiratory tract infection. The child had features of rickets and bony abnormalities, suggestive of rickets. Investigations revealed persistent metabolic acidosis and hypokalemia. A provisional diagnosis of “distal RTA” was made, and necessary investigations were done, which confirmed the diagnosis. Genetic studies revealed “homozygote for a likely pathogenic gene and transcript: SLC4A1 NM_000342.4 variant: c.2573>A p.Ala858Asp location: exon 19 homozygote.”
