Published: October 2023

The abilities of students’ public speaking are different at some level. This study investigates the students’ speaking skills in describing people in the Non-English Department. The type of this research was a quantitative descriptive study design. The instrument of this study was the test; the type of the test was public speaking in describing people. The population of this study was 37 students in the 2nd semester of sports and health education. The sampling technique was total sampling. The sample was 37 students. Primarily based on the result, the researcher discovered that one student (2%) has a good score, 17 students (46%) have an average rating, and 19 college students (51%) have a fair rating. It means that the score of students' speaking skills in describing humans became a truthful stage. It brought about mispronunciation of phrases (body, eyes, nose, and colour), messy grammar, lack of vocabulary, fluency gradual, and comprehension most effective a little and quite simple.
EVALUASI KEBIJAKAN PERLINDUNGAN SOSIAL BAGI PEKERJA MIGRAN INDONESIA (PMI) YANG DIDEPORTASI DARI MALAYSIA DI KOTA TANJUNG PINANG

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTThe problem of the deportation of Indonesian Migrant Workers from Malaysia in Tanjung pinang City is a complex problem. Thus, the Government presents a social protection policy that is based on strong legal rules and applies before work, during work, and after work. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the social protection policies implemented by relevant stakeholders have been implemented properly or vice versa. Another objective is to obtain data, information and programs related to social protection policies. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive research type. In order to obtain primary data, in-depth interviews were conducted with informants. Secondary data is obtained through literature study, namely searching for data through journals, articles, and internet sources. The results of the discussion and research referring to William N Dunn's policy evaluation theory show that social protection policies have worked well in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, equity, responsiveness and distribution. Five of the six indicators are met thanks to the commitment and good cooperation of each stakeholder. However, in terms of the adequacy indicator, the budget spent is not sufficient. There must be an increase in the budget from the central government so that stakeholders are more flexible and creative in implementing and making programs so that social protection policies will improve in the future.

Investigación relacional, integrativa, complejizante, transdisciplinar o transmetódica
Authors: Andrade Salazar José Alonso 
Published: October 2023

PROBLEMA: toda investigación precisa de relaciones, en otras palabras de interacciones investigativas, puesto que, desde, a través y más allá de ellas los investigadores logran relacionar los diversos objetos de estudio y con ello, las disciplinas, epistemes y métodos. Reconocer esta oportunidad permite comprender en clave de complejidad el aporte de apuestas investigativas que trascienden las limitaciones o barreras propias del paradigma de la simplificación. OBJETIVO: explorar las características de la investigación relacional, también reconocida como integrativa, transdisciplinar, complejizante o transmetódica. MÉTODO: se implementa la investigación relacional como metodología que propende por religar los saberes acudiendo a la integración dialógica de elementos antagónicos que se tornan a la vez complementarios, concurrentes y reorganizacionales, lo que posibilita una apertura mayor a la comprensión conjunta de los fenómenos. RESULTADOS: la integración dialógica entre métodos, metodologías, técnicas y saberes además de experiencias, interpretaciones, sentidos, epistemes, modelos y disciplinas, entre otros, se representa como alternativa y desafío para religar los saberes separados de toda posibilidad de diálogo gracias a la lógica fraccionaria y lineal del paradigma de la simplificación. REFLEXIÓN INCONCLUSA: la investigación transmetódica tiene como base relacional el paradigma de la complejidad, la transdisciplinariedad y el rizoma investigativo, así, a partir de su integración dialógica se construyen, deconstruyen reorganizan tanto los saberes, como los métodos, metodologías, discursos y praxis pedagógicas e investigativas.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: The muscles connected to the anatomical snuff box are crucial for stabilising the wrist. De Quervian's Syndrome and tendinitis are conditions caused by morphological abnormalities in these muscles, which are often developing in nature. There is limited information available about the tendon types in the Nepalese population, despite studies showing distinct tendon-splitting patterns of the abductor pollicis longus (APL), extensor pollicis longus (EPL), and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB).
Methods: A routine dissection of 30 upper limbs from 15 cadavers was carried out according to Cunningham’s Manual of Practical Anatomy, Volume 1. Age estimation was not done, but all the cadavers in the department that had entire upper limbs were examined. The forearm's flexor and extensor compartments were dissected. It was done to trace the muscle’s tendons up to their insertion. The investigation eliminated any upper limbs with fractures or wrist or forearm deformities.
Results: Seven upper limbs, out of 30, only possessed one tendon. All the upper limbs have a trapezium and the base of the first metatarsal bone where the APL was inserted. It was noted that neither EPB nor EPL had changed. APL and EPL did not split within a single osseo-fibrous tunnel in any specimen.
Conclusions: Anatomical information on the muscles' fibres and their insertion at anatomical snuff boxes is provided in this study. When considering alterations at the wrist joint under pathological situations, these statistics could be considered.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Tuberculosis is a global health concern, and its prevalence can vary widely from one region to another. Factors such as altitude, climate, population density, and healthcare infrastructure can all influence the dynamics of Tuberculosis in a particular area. This study aimed to provide insights into whether altitude played a role in the occurrence of tuberculosis and its different forms in the specific region of Jumla the western rural district of Nepal.
Methods: Jumla is a high-altitude mountainous region ranging from 915m- 4679 m with a population of 119,337 (2021) having 8 municipalities. Data were collected from all the municipalities over a period starting from July 15th2021-July 14th2022 and were compared with prior years in number and diagnosis with national data of Nepal.
Results: A total of 84 cases were recorded of which 52.4% (n=44) were females. The group affected most was between the ages 16-30 years (34.5%) and 61-75yr (22.6%). The cases detected by the sputum Xpert MTB/RIF testing were 54.7%, with positive sputum Acid-fast bacilli being 27.4%. Most of the patients were diagnosed to have pulmonary bacteriologically confirmed (PBC) tuberculosis 52.4%, PCD (Pulmonary clinically diagnosed) 16.7%, Extra-pulmonary 28.6% with one case of each multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), and Pre-XDR (Extensive drug resistant) TB. Among them, 12% of people had a history of TB undergone ATT (anti-tuberculosis drugs) in the past with 6% having a close contact history.
Conclusions: Tuberculosis infection, disease, and mortality seem to be less common at high than low altitudes. As in Karnali Province, Humla with the second being Jumla has the lowest number of TB patients than other parts of Nepal, affecting younger people.

Published: October 2023

En esta investigación se propuso un modelo para identificar la enfermedad HLB en imágenes de hojas de limón persa mediante una red neuronal artificial (RNA). Se utilizaron imágenes de hojas de limón persa enfermas y no enfermas de HLB, éstas se convirtieron a escala de grises, se les manipuló el brillo y se les asignó una resolución de 200 por 350 pixeles para cada una de ellas. Posteriormente se les aplicó el algoritmo de Canny para detectar bordes. Se utilizó la técnica de Análisis de Componentes principales (PCA) para reducir la dimensionalidad del tamaño de las imágenes, alcanzando una reducción del 50 por ciento para cada imagen. Para el proceso de clasificación se implementó una RNA y se empleó el algoritmo de validación cruzada para validar el modelo. Los resultados muestran que el modelo de red neuronal obtiene una exactitud máxima del 80% utilizando validación cruzada con 5 k-folds y tipo de aprendizaje supervisado. Por lo tanto, se recomienda el modelo con validación cruzada k folds para validae el modelo, debido a que alcanzó una mejor exactitud, además demuestra la utilidad de la aplicación de las herramientas de la Inteligencia artificial para la identificación de enfermedades en el sector agrícola.

Background. Septal myectomy is currently the «gold» standard of surgical treatment of patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In some cases, isolated septal myectomy does not eliminate SAM-induced mitral insufficiency. Cardiac surgeons sometimes perform combined interventions on the mitral valve, such as «edge-to-edge» mitral valve repair.Aim. Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of combined edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in septal myectomy compared with isolated septal myectomy.Methods. Recruitment to the study was carried out for the period from 2019 to 2022 at the Meshalkin National Medical Research Center of the Ministry of Health of Russia. Twenty patients was performed combined «edge-to-edge» mitral valve repair with septal myectomy, 20 patients with isolated myectomy were included in the control group. The study assessed immediate and mid-term results after 12 months.Results. Combined edge-to-edge mitral valve repair demonstrates better intraoperative efficacy compared with isolated septal myectomy (95,0% versus 50,0%, p=0,001), but is accompanied by increased transmitral peak (6,8±2,1 vs 4,9±3,2 mmHg, p=0,03) and medium (3,4±1,4 vs 2,5±1,7 mmHg, p=0,05) gradients. Both techniques are associated with a low level of hospital mortality and complications in the early postoperative period, high survival after 12 months.Conclusion. Combined mitral valve repair using the «edge-to-edge» technique is comparable safe to isolated myectomy, but better eliminates SAM-induced mitral insufficiency. «Edge-to-edge» mitral valve repair is characterized by increased transmitral gradients.

Purpose: to assess the state of mitochondrial membrane potential of blood leukocytes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) depending on the presence and absence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Material and Methods. The study involved 100 people hospitalized at the regional vascular center (RCC) of the Vladivostok Clinical Hospital No. 1 with a diagnosis of ACS, aged 35 to 65 years. The control group consisted of 30 apparently healthy volunteers of the same age and sex. At the time of admission, all patients underwent studies for the diagnosis of ACS, including an assessment of the content of troponin I (TrI), and the marker of the precursor of the cerebral natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and the membrane potential of mitochondria (MPM) of blood leukocytes were determined.Results. Indicators of the state MMP made it possible to assess the content of dead and living cells in the blood of the examined persons. An increase in non-viable leukocytes in the blood patients with all types of ACS, including myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina (UA), was established. A direct relationship was found between the increase in the number of these cells and the content of TrI in MI and a direct relationship between it and NTproBNP both in MI and NS. In patients with ACS, no significant difference was found between the MMP values of leukocytes depending on the presence of T2DM.Conclusion. An increase in the MPMP of blood leukocytes in patients accompanies of the redox balance disturbance in ACS. The established relationship between MPMP indices in MI and the content of TrI can be considered as a confirming fact of the participation of cells with mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of ischemic necrosis. The found relationship between the increase in blood leukocyte MPMP in patients with ACS and the level of NTproBNP indicates a certain contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction of leukocytes to the development of myocardial remodeling, regardless of the clinical form of ACS and the presence of DM2.

À la suite de la Conférence de Durban de 2001, d’anciennes puissances impériales ont engagé des processus de reconnaissance et de réparation des crimes coloniaux. Au contraire, en France, le passé impérial demeure largement « hors champ », quand l’« œuvre » de la colonisation n’est pas réhabilitée par les droites de gouvernement.

La colonisation n’est pas qu’une « mémoire à décliner au passé ». Elle a impacté durablement les pays colonisateurs et notamment la société française, où elle se fait encore sentir de nos jours, sous la forme d’une « après-vie » faite de réelles et concrètes injustices.
La « désoccidentalisation » : une géopolitique contemporaine au prisme de la colonisation et de la décolonisation
Authors: Billion Didier , Ventura Christophe 
Published: October 2023

De plus en plus mobilisé, le terme de « désoccidentalisation » du monde est cependant polysémique. Il importe d’en débattre, de déterminer les réalités qu’il recouvre, d’en saisir tant les points d’appui que les contradictions et les limites. Ceci notamment afin de mieux cerner l’évolution des relations et des rapports de force entre pays occidentaux et du Sud.

Published: October 2023

Cet article s’intéresse au rôle de la confiance dans l’adoption de mobile money au Gabon. La revue de la littérature s’intéresse aux théories et modèles d’acceptation de technologies. Pour mettre en évidence le rôle de la confiance dans l’adoption et l’acceptation des technologies, nous avons utilisé un modèle d’équations structurelles. En prenant appui sur des théories existantes telles que celles du TAM (Technology acceptance model) de Davis, des mesures de la confiance de Mcknight, Chervany, du modèle de Gefen et bien d’autres, nous avons construit un modèle conceptuel. Pour rendre opérationnel le modèle construit, nous avons eu recours à un recueil des données à l’aide d’un questionnaire auto administré. Ce questionnaire fut administré auprès de 180 utilisateurs de mobile money. Les résultats de cette étude nous montrent que la confiance n’influence pas directement l’adoption de mobile money au Gabon. En revanche, la confiance influence l’utilité perçue et la facilité d’utilisation qui, tous deux influencent l’adoption de mobile money au Gabon. L’influence de la confiance sur l’adoption est donc une influence indirecte via l’utilité perçue et la facilité d’utilisation qui joue le rôle de variables médiatrices entre la confiance et l’adoption de mobile money.
Le traumatisme et ses destins
Authors: Licot Monique 
Published: October 2023

Le trauma est au cœur de la psychanalyse. Il garde cette place tout au long du développement de l’œuvre de Freud, en subissant d’importants remaniements en partie suite aux propositions avancées par Sándor Ferenczi. Après le tournant des années 1920, Freud privilégie le point de vue économique et relègue au second plan l’aspect événementiel du trauma. Ferenczi, quant à lui, poursuit l’idée de la réalité du trauma et cherche des voies pour l’amener à la remémoration et à l’élaboration. En m’appuyant sur l’œuvre de Ferenczi, je vous propose, à partir d’exemples issus d’œuvres artistiques et d’une situation clinique, d’explorer les différentes formes et destins du traumatisme. Quels sont en effet les devenirs possibles de l’être humain si sa souffrance déborde ses capacités d’élaboration ?
Le traumatisme de la naissance psychique
Authors: Joly Fabien , Golse Bernard 
Published: October 2023

La naissance psychique (ou plus justement la naissance « à » la vie psychique dans les régimes originaire) ne se superpose pas tout à fait à la césure manifeste de l’évènement de la naissance physique. D’une certaine manière la naissance à la vie psychique précède cette césure, comme à d’autres aspects et sur d’autres niveaux elle en découle et la prolonge ou lui succède (parfois de manière bien éloignée de l’acte de naissance proprement dit). Nous nous arrêtons dans cet article sur cet écart, cette tension, et cette différence… Mais aussi sur le processus même et les particularités de fonctionnement (entre corps et psyché et entre intrapsychique et intersubjectif) des régimes de symbolisations primaires, d’émergence du sujet comme de la matière psychique elle-même et de l’épaississement du Moi dans la trajectoire pulsionnelle, et donc des modalités de naissance à la vie psychique. Peut-être plus fondamentalement tentons nous de montrer ici (en revenant sur et en dépassant la notion de « traumatisme de la naissance » chère à Rank) sur l’économie traumatique de la naissance psychique , autant que sur la valence économique et traumatique des fonctionnements originaires du coté de la naissance du sujet, dans son double lien au corps et à la psyché (de l’autre).
The Spectrum of Intracranial Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis at an Eastern Indian Tertiary Care Center
Authors: Das Suman , Ray Biman Kanti 
Published: October 2023

Introduction:
Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a treatable, rare inflammatory disease, either primary or secondary to systemic causes.

Aims:
To characterize the etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment outcomes of HP patients and determine the factors influencing the radiological resolution of the pachymeningeal enhancement and recurrence of symptoms within the follow-up period.

Materials and Methods:
We collected data for this prospective observational study between March 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022, at the Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, Kolkata, and the patients were followed for a 6-month period. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment-related data were collected. A univariate logistic regression model was used for comparison between patients with and without radiological resolution of pachymeningitis and between patients with and without symptom recurrence.

Results:
Among 44 patients, the male: female ratio was 1.2:1. The median age at disease onset was 35.5 (28.5–49.5) years. The etiologies were idiopathic (56.8%), tuberculosis (22.8%), immunoglobulin G subtype 4 (IgG4) disease (9.2%), other infections (6.8%), and neoplastic (4.4%). Headache was the most common presentation (95.4%), followed by cranial neuropathies (68.2%). Optic and oculomotor neuropathies were the most common. In terms of radiological features, 27.27, 29.54, and 43.18% of patients had diffuse, focal regular, and focal irregular enhancement, respectively. Temporal (50%), followed by cavernous sinus (38.63%) enhancement, was the most common. Recurrence occurred in 36 and 50% of idiopathic and IgG4-related HP cases, respectively. Mycophenolate mofetil was added to their steroid regimen with no further recurrences.

Conclusion:
The cohort had a marked absence of (antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) ANCA-associated HP. The severity of clinical manifestations or distribution of pachymeningitis did not differ significantly among the etiological groups. The presence of idiopathic etiology and focal regular enhancement had a significantly higher chance of radiological resolution. The response to therapy was satisfactory. Recurrence was significantly related to shorter steroid courses (<median duration of 5.2 months).
