Massacres négrophobes aux frontières de Ceuta et Melilla
Authors: Tyszler Elsa 
Published: February 2024

Depuis deux décennies, la répression des exilés qui tentent d’accéder aux enclaves espagnoles de Ceuta et Melilla se déploie de part et d’autre de leurs frontières de façon brutale. Cette guerre aux migrants prend notamment pour cible ceux désignés comme des « Subsahariens » et plus récemment des « Soudanais », révélant ainsi la construction de catégories racialisées de l’étranger indésirable. Dans un silence glaçant, les massacres racistes s’y succèdent en toute impunité.
La Responsabilité Territoriale des Entreprises, agenda de recherche
Authors: Filippi Maryline 
Published: February 2024

Dans une société soumise aux demandes croissantes de prise en considération de l’environnement et du social, le territoire s’affirme plus que jamais comme le lieu des transformations et des réponses aux défis complexes. Alors que les entreprises peinent à établir leur responsabilité sociétale, cet article souligne l’originalité de la notion de Responsabilité Territoriale des Entreprises procédant à un changement radical d’approche. À partir d’une analyse de la littérature, nous étayons l’idée qu’il s’agit d’un entreprendre en collectif et en responsabilité pour le bien commun, renouvelant les cadres d’analyse des processus de développement territorial. Si l’Économie Sociale et Solidaire apparait comme un levier d’action pour impulser des dynamiques de coopération au sien des communautés, la RTE repose sur un basculement d’une conception individuelle à un construit collectif au plus près des besoins des acteurs dans les territoires, invitant à renouveler l’agenda de recherche.
Retour vers le Futur(oscope) : un développement territorial « bricolé » par un entrepreneur politique ?
Authors: Coussi Olivier , Bernela Bastien 
Published: February 2024

Les politiques publiques de développement économique territorial s’inspirent depuis de nombreuses années de symboles comme celui de la Silicon Valley, alimentant les rêves des élus locaux. Si les processus d’évaluation permettent de dresser un état des lieux de l’efficience et de la performance ex post des chemins de développement territorial empruntés, ils ne permettent pas totalement de comprendre les mécanismes à l’œuvre dans leur fabrique. Cette recherche s’intéresse, de façon inductive, à la genèse et au développement du Futuroscope, figure emblématique et atypique du développement d’un territoire rural, au travers d’une étude de cas qualitative sur un temps long. Alors que la théorie du développement territorial néglige la dimension « action publique » et le rôle de l’élu comme entrepreneur politique, nous contribuons à cette littérature en proposant le concept de « bricolage territorial » comme mécanisme de production d’un chemin de développement territorial.
L’ uchi-komi en judo à l’épreuve du discours des enseignants
Authors: Terret Cédric , Morlier Julien , Mikulovic Jacques 
Published: February 2024

L’ uchi-komi est un dispositif utilisé en judo depuis plus d’un siècle pour l’enseignement des techniques de projection, c’est-à-dire des techniques qui permettent de faire chuter un adversaire sur le dos. Il possède à première vue les caractéristiques d’un dispositif de médiation d’objets culturels et de médiation de savoirs. Toutefois, les mouvements réalisés par les élèves en uchi-komi et ceux produits en contexte écologique d’opposition ou de combat divergent. Ces disparités gestuelles interrogent l’efficacité du dispositif et finalement les raisons de sa pérennité dans les leçons. Trois hypothèses sont explorées dans l’article : (1) malgré ces divergences, le dispositif est réellement efficace pour la transmission à la fois d’objets culturels et de savoirs moteurs, (2) le dispositif est utilisé par tradition, (3) le dispositif est exploité avec des objectifs autres que sa fonction théorique.
De la tsiganologie à la cosmologie : hommage à Patrick Williams
Authors: Poueyto Jean-Luc 
Published: February 2024

Pour Patrick Williams, décédé en janvier 2021, anthropologue des Tsiganes, du jazz mais aussi de la ville, écrivain, poète, homme de théâtre… la vie et la recherche ne firent qu’un. Venu à l’ethnologie après avoir beaucoup fréquenté les Manouches de la Creuse dans sa jeunesse puis fondé une famille rom dans la banlieue parisienne, il n’eut de cesse d’interroger les périphéries aussi bien physiques qu’intellectuelles pour tenter de les comprendre à travers des formes d’écriture, de lecture, de théâtre aussi innovantes que rigoureuses.
Phosphorylation of hnRNP A1–Serine 199 Is Not Required for T Cell Differentiation and Function
Authors: White Tristan L A , Jin Ye , Roberts Sean D A , Gable Matthew J , Morel Penelope A 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
hnRNP A1 is an important RNA-binding protein that influences many stages of RNA processing, including transcription, alternative splicing, mRNA nuclear export, and RNA stability. However, the role of hnRNP A1 in immune cells, specifically CD4+ T cells, remains unclear. We previously showed that Akt phosphorylation of hnRNP A1 was dependent on TCR signal strength and was associated with Treg differentiation. To explore the impact of hnRNP A1 phosphorylation by Akt on CD4+ T cell differentiation, our laboratory generated a mutant mouse model, hnRNP A1-S199A (A1-MUT) in which the major Akt phosphorylation site on hnRNP A1 was mutated to alanine using CRISPR Cas9 technology. Immune profiling of A1-MUT mice revealed changes in the numbers of Tregs in the mesenteric lymph node. We found no significant differences in naive CD4+ T cell differentiation into Th1, Th2, Th17, or T regulatory cells (Tregs) in vitro. In vivo, Treg differentiation assays using OTII-A1-Mut CD4+ T cells exposed to OVA food revealed migration and homing defects in the A1-MUT but no change in Treg induction. A1-MUT mice were immunized with NP− keyhole limpet hemocyanin, and normal germinal center development, normal numbers of NP-specific B cells, and no change in Tfh numbers were observed. In conclusion, Akt phosphorylation of hnRNP A1 S199 does not play a role in CD4+ T cell fate or function in the models tested. This hnRNP A1-S199A mouse model should be a valuable tool to study the role of Akt phosphorylation of hnRNP A1-S199 in different cell types or other mouse models of human disease.
Effect of Virtual Reality Therapy with Brain Gym Exercises for Sleep-deprived Individuals: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Eremita Marissa De Souza , Chitra Jeba 
Published: February 2024

Background and Aim:Sleep deprivation refers to getting less than the required amount of sleep, which for adults range between 7 and 9 h per night and can be caused due to social and biological factors. Virtual reality therapy (VRT) allows individuals to experience a computer-generated virtual environment so that they can be exposed to stimuli that imitate real-world experiences and have been used in other psychological conditions with positive outcomes. Brain Gym (BG) is a kinesiology program that engages the participant in a number of activities that teach the body how to comprehend the primary behavior and coordinate the brain and body.Materials and Methods:A randomized clinical trial was performed by screening 51 samples, from which 32 individuals were recruited, using purposive sampling, based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) which was used as the inclusion criteria. VRT session was for 15 min and BG exercises were given thrice a week for 4 weeks. The PSQI and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) were used as the outcome measures and were assessed after the intervention. The Shapiro–Wilk test, pairedt-test, and independent samplet-test were used for the statistical analysis of the data.Results:There was a significant difference between the pre- and postscores of the PSQI of Group A (Pre – 7.00 ± 1.55; Post – 6.31 ± 2.06;P= 0.029) and Group B (Pre – 8.44 ± 2.63; Post – 6.19 ± 2.97;P= 0.001), although Group B showed a better improvement, based on the effect size (1.06) and Group B (Pre – 7.13 ± 2.58; Post – 5.63 ± 2.60) showed a significant difference in the pre- and postvalues of the AIS (P= 0.011).Conclusion:The study concluded that VRT and BG exercises were effective interventions, although BG exercises were shown to be more effective than the virtual reality intervention.
A Study on Uniqueness of Lip Print Patterns: Sexual Dimorphism, Twins, and Across Three Generations
Authors: Sultana Qudusia , Fernandes Vanessa , Shetty Ashwini 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background and Aim:
Lip prints just like fingerprints follow unique patterns in every individual and are said to vary significantly even within the same family. Lip prints can be recognized from 6th week of intrauterine life and remain unchanged throughout their life. The objective of the present study was to evaluate personal identification through lip print patterns with additional reference to twins and members of the same family.

Materials and Methods:
Lips of 75 males, 75 females, and 30 twins were studied in various quadrants. In addition, the pattern in the middle 10 mm of the lower lip was also evaluated to note the pattern distribution and dominance of the type of pattern in different genders. Lip print patterns in five families across three generations (eight members each of the same family) were observed for the existence of inheritance of patterns from their ancestors.

Results:
Among males and females, the most common pattern in the middle 10 mm of the lower lip is Type III (34.66%) and Type IV (32%), respectively. In the middle 10 mm of the lower lip, 33.33% of twins have similar lip patterns but with differences in its arrangements. The result showed different lip print patterns even in twins and among the members of the same family across three generations, with some similar patterns which suggesting hereditary influences in lip prints.

Conclusion:
In the present, we can see that lip prints are unique and permanent for every human being even among twins and individuals of the same family.

Authors: Mahajan Divya , Saini Bhupender , Kamaraj Theepanraj , Pandey Awadesh Kumar 
Published: February 2024

Abstract:
NHL Primary of the breast is rare accounting 0.1% of the total malignancy. DLBCL is the most common histology for Primary NHL breast. It presentation is similar to carcinoma breast so biopsy followed by IHC is only method to differentiate between both. Due to rarity of the tumor there is lack of literature on proper diagnosis and treatment. RCHOP is the chemotherapy regime used and radiotherapy role is not clear. Some studies suggest role of CNS irradiation in high risk patient because of high chances of CNS spread in advance stage patient. In this paper we aim to highlight the diagnostic difficulties we faced and the treatment we followed. Here we bring to the knowledge of the reader about the review over diagnosis, clinical feature and treatment of NHL breast along side with two clinical cases to enhance clinical interest of the reviewer.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
University students’ motivators and preferences for yoga as their course of study can influence their future as yoga instructors and therapists.

Materials and Methods:
Six hundred and thirty-six students of both genders (251:385, male: female) from four North Indian universities offering graduate and postgraduate courses in yoga were the respondents to a convenience sampling survey about their preferences and motivators.

Results:
The three most common reasons why students chose to study yoga were (i) “I can help many people through knowledge of yoga” (32.2%), (ii) “I will become a better person by studying yoga” (21.9%), and (iii) “I find yoga interesting” (18.9%). After completion of the course, most students wished (i) “to study another course in yoga” (28.8%), (ii) “to work in yoga and education in a university” (17.5%), and (iii) “to work in yoga and research” (14.3%). Students appreciated positive effects which they attributed to yoga (e.g. good health, feeling peaceful, and positive behavior changes).

Conclusion:
Students did not like regulations such as early wakening and dietary restrictions. The available information about the scope, benefits, safety considerations, and requirements of yoga can help student aspirants make an informed choice about their future careers. Students of yoga can be further motivated by evidence informed interactive sessions.

Abstract

Introduction:
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder that affects the shape and function of red blood cells (RBCs), which can lead to several health problems affecting the quality of life. SCD can be treated with certain expensive treatments such as RBC transfusion, hydroxyurea, stem cell transplantation, gene therapy, or bone marrow transplant. However, some of the most common symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and stress can also be alleviated with alternative therapies like yoga. In light of this, there is a need for the development of a specific yoga module (YM) for SCD that can complement the current therapies.

Objective:
To develop and validate a YM for SCD.

Methodology:
Concise literature reports on yoga practices used for varied symptoms/comorbidities associated with SCD were compiled and presented to focus groups. Based on the presented report and personal experience, the focus group created a preliminary version of the module. The preliminary module was further refined based on content validity ratio (CVR) following module validation by 33 yoga experts.

Results:
One hour ten minutes module developed by the focus group had in total 27 practices including, loosening exercises, asanas, pranayama, relaxation techniques, and meditation. After validation by the experts, 21 practices with a CVR ≥ 0.33 were retained. The predominant reason for excluding 12 practices was intensity, which may have some adverse effect on sickle cell comorbidities.

Conclusion:
The module developed is the first validated module for SCD.
Comparative Analysis of Heart Rate Variability Parameters between Surya Namaskar and Stationary Bike Exercise Groups
Authors: Malhotra Varun , Pathak Tanusha , Javed Danish , Wakode Santosh , Thakare Avinash , Shrivastava Ragini , Chouhan Sunil , Filho Francisco J. Cidral 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background:
Yoga practice has multiple health benefits. Surya Namaskar (SN) also known as sun salutation presents mental and physical health benefits equivalent to physical exercise. It consists of a sequence of 12 Hatha yoga postures with coordinated breathing.

Aims:
This study evaluated the effect of SN against mild intensity stationary cycling exercise (SCE) on parameters of heart rate variability (HRV).

Methodology:
This study was conducted in the department of physiology of a nationally important institute after obtaining ethics approval. A total of 40 healthy participants (males aged 46 ± 2.3 years) were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups, namely SN group and exercise group (SG and EG). The allocation on the group was based on subjects’ choice and interest in performing SN or SCE. Baseline HRV, anthropometric measurement, and blood pressure were assessed. SG was subjected to 14 rounds of SN in about 20 min and EG to a 20-min mild-intensity stationary cycling session (30%–50% maximal heart rate). Assessments were conducted preexercise and postexercise recovery. HRV was assessed with the NeuralChek device.

Results:
SN led to increased SDNN, pNN50, RMSSD, and total power, indicating improved autonomic balance, cardiovascular health, and parasympathetic dominance. Conversely, SCE decreased SDNN, pNN50, and RMSSD, suggesting immediate postexercise sympathetic dominance. Spectral analysis of HRV highlighted autonomic balance differences, with SN increasing low frequency (LF%) reflecting both sympathetic and parasympathetic dominance, whereas exercise reduced LF% due to sympathetic activation. Minimal changes were observed in high-frequency percentage. SN combines flexibility, strength, and balance, providing a balanced physical activity. This balance results in a mixed autonomic response, with sympathetic activity for the physical effort and parasympathetic activity for the relaxation components.

Conclusions:
SN positively impacted HRV, promoting parasympathetic dominance and cardiovascular health, whereas exercise induced sympathetic activation with potential recovery benefits. Monitoring HRV offers insights into cardiovascular fitness and well-being. The study underscores the merits of incorporating yoga such as SN into daily activity routines.
From Inner Balance to Visual Health: Unraveling the Therapeutic Role of Yoga in Optic Neuropathy and Ocular Manifestations – Narrative Review
Authors: Tiwari Prabhakar , Dada Rima , Dada Tanuj 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The optic nerve comprises approximately 1.2 million axons of retinal ganglion cells and is vulnerable to degeneration due to a myriad of causes. While traditional treatments have been the cornerstone of ocular care, emerging evidence highlights the benefits of integrative approaches, which can be used as an adjunct in the management of optic neuropathy. Yoga is a mind–body energy medicine encompasses physical postures, breath control, and meditation. Currently, it has gained attention for its holistic effects on well-being, by promoting health, preventing onset of diseases, adjunct in disease management, and for its rehabilitative potential. In addition, the underlying mechanisms through which yoga exerts its therapeutic influence, evaluates clinical outcomes, and explores potential synergistic effects with conventional treatments remain largely unexplored. Neuroprotective mechanisms of yoga, such as enhancing retinal ganglion cell function, reducing oxidative stress, coupled with its ability to modulate inflammatory processes and improve circulation, contribute to its potential benefits in visual health. Analysis of clinical studies reveals promising outcomes, including improvements in visual acuity, visual fields, quality of life, and functional outcomes in individuals with optic neuropathy and ocular manifestations who undergo yoga intervention (especially dhyaan) with awareness of breath. Furthermore, the integration of yoga with conventional treatments and complementary modalities unveils the possibilities of multidisciplinary approaches in ocular care that need evaluation. By unraveling the role of yoga intervention in ocular health, this review provides valuable insights for clinicians and researchers, fostering a deeper understanding of the mind–body connection and paving the way for enhanced visual health outcomes. Embracing yoga as an adjunctive therapy may has the potential to revolutionize the management of optic neuropathy and ocular manifestations, offering individuals a holistic approach to optimize visual well-being, reduce comorbid depression and caregiver burden, and improve overall quality of life.
Yoga and Mental Well-being: A Qualitative Exploration of the Lived Experiences of Yoga Practitioners
Authors: Vogler Suzanne , Salyer Rachel Elizabeth , Giacobbi Peter R. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Context:
Participation in yoga has increased dramatically amongst all demographic groups in recent decades. While studies have explored the physical and mental benefits of yoga, few have focused on the lived experiences of those practicing yoga and why they continue their involvement.

Aims:
The purpose of this study was to assess practitioners’ views about the impact of yoga on mental well-being and explore how these benefits may support their continued practice.

Settings and Design:
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 individuals, the majority identified as female (M age = 44.25, standard deviation = 11.80). The majority of participants were White (86.36%) and had practiced yoga for an average of 8–10 years (40.91%).

Methods:
A pragmatic qualitative approach was taken that included the adoption of a constructivist, narrative, meaning-making ontology, hermeneutic epistemology, and interpretivist axiology. Interviews were conducted on Zoom, recorded, and transcribed verbatim.

Analysis Used:
Interviews were coded independently by two team members following reflexive thematic analysis procedures.

Results:
Two major themes, structural and functional components, covered the five main subthemes that explained why yoga was beneficial for mental well-being and highlighted the self-sustaining nature of yoga practice: (1) the yoga environment, (2) personnel, (3) strengthening of mind and body during practice, (4) transfer of skills, and (5) giving back. The practitioners described how their yoga journeys supported their mental well-being and encouraged the long-term maintenance of their yoga practices. A conceptual model will be presented that incorporates the major themes and provides an explanation of why practitioners continue to practice yoga.

Conclusions:
This study provides insight into how yoga’s mental well-being benefits affect adherence, and ultimately, informs our understanding of yoga as a self-sustaining practice.
Reducing Stress with Yoga: A Systematic Review Based on Multimodal Biosignals
Authors: Khajuria Aayushi , Kumar Amit , Joshi Deepak , Kumaran S. Senthil 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Stress is an enormous concern in our culture because it is the root cause of many health issues. Yoga asanas and mindfulness-based practices are becoming increasingly popular for stress management; nevertheless, the biological effect of these practices on stress reactivity is still a research domain. The purpose of this review is to emphasize various biosignals that reflect stress reduction through various yoga-based practices. A comprehensive synthesis of numerous prior investigations in the existing literature was conducted. These investigations undertook a thorough examination of numerous biosignals. Various features are extracted from these signals, which are further explored to reflect the effectiveness of yoga practice in stress reduction. The multifaceted character of stress and the extensive research undertaken in this field indicate that the proposed approach would rely on multiple modalities. The notable growth of the body of literature pertaining to prospective yoga processes is deserving of attention; nonetheless, there exists a scarcity of research undertaken on these mechanisms. Hence, it is recommended that future studies adopt more stringent yoga methods and ensure the incorporation of suitable participant cohorts.
