An Assessment of the Utilisation of IPPIS and GIFMIS as Modes of Payments in Tertiary Educational Institutions in Ogun State, Nigeria
Authors: Olabode Balikis , Adetoro Rasheed Adenrele 
Published: October 2023

The study aassessed the utilisation of Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) and Government Integrated Financial Management and Information System (GIFMIS) as modes of payments in Tertiary Educational institutions in Ogun State, Nigeria with the objectives of investigating the level of awareness of end users on the new government payment policies, and also to determine the relevance of the policies, identify their problems and proffer solutions. The theoretical framework for this study was based on realistic evaluation, a form of theory-based evaluation developed by Pawson and Tilley (1997, 2006), that showcased that outcomes of policies equals mechanism plus concept. Primary data was gathered via close-ended questionnaires. Descriptive statistical tools such as frequencies, percentages in cross tabulations were utilized in analyzing the responses to the questionnaire items. Findings from the study revealed that majority of the respondents have knowledge of the meaning of IPPIS and GIFMIS, and they see the policies as a much needed change in the federal government payment system. Though for now, they delay access to overhead allocations and its utilization, workload seems repetitive and complicated, they debar research donors, make reconciliation of accounts cumbersome, discourage innovations of intellectual properties in Tertiary Educational Institutions, delay contractors payment due to weak communication signals, and seen to be used as a tool to silence unionism, among other findings. It was concluded that contrary to majority belief and apriori expectations, introduction of these policies, though relevant (centralization of government funds) may not curb corruption in federal government financial system, but it will rather get it re-directed elsewhere unless the needful are done. It was therefore recommended that for the policies to work economically, effectively and efficiently there should be timely release of research funds for tertiary educational institutions without sabotage. Adequate monitoring and supervision for checks and balances of the Ministries/Departments/Agencies (MDAs) for effective achievement of the objectives of the new policies are paramount. Furthermore, the new policies should be administered alongside good governance which entails accountability, transparency and probity to ensure adequate and prompt payments to those entitled.

Published: October 2023

Aim: Nanopropolis has become the subject of interest in medicine and dentistry as a natural product due to its outstanding properties, particularly antimicrobial activity. This study aimed at investigating the effect of nanopropolis on flexural strength of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Materials and methods: Three groups of two acrylic resin brands namely Acropars and Triplex containing 0 (control group), 0.5%, and 1% of nanopropolis were prepared in 64×10.0×3.3 mm according to ISO 20795-2 (2013). Fifteen samples were allocated to each concentration. Flexural strength was determined following immersion in water and incubation at 37°C for 50±2 hours using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 5±1 mm/min. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, Tukey HSD, and t-test. P&lt;0.05 was set as statistical significance.
Results: Control groups of Acropars and Triplex showed the highest mean flexural strength within their own group which both were higher than the recommended 50 MPa. The mean flexural strength of Triplex incorporated with 0.5 and 1% of nanopropolis was higher than that of Acropars with the same percentage.
Conclusions: The mean flexural strength of Triplex remained above the recommended value of 50 MPa after incorporation of both 0.5 and 1% nanopropolis. However, that of Acropars dropped below it.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Pleural cavity drainage is a crucial component of the surgical management of patients with various chest diseases. Digital drainage systems are increasingly used in contemporary thoracic surgical procedure, which is likely a result of their effectiveness in achieving early postoperative ambulation, cutting down on hospital stays and lowering costs. The vast majority of thoracic surgeons worldwide prefer digital drainage systems to traditional ones. The advantages of the former, however, are disputed by some researchers.
Aim: The objective of this study was to compare the two types of pleural drainage mechanisms, conventional and digital, in terms of duration of pleural drainage in days, financial cost, and postoperative air leak duration.
Materials and methods: The study focused on 80 patients who underwent various thoracic surgical interventions in the Clinic of Thoracic and Abdominal Surgery at St George University Hospital in Plovdiv. They were divided into two groups: group 1 consisted of 42 patients who were postoperatively attached to a conventional non-mobile pleural drainage system, and group 2 consisted of 38 patients in whom a mobile digital pleural drainage system was used. The main analyzed data were duration of pleural drainage, duration of postoperative air leak, hospital stay, and financial costs.
Results: The average duration of pleural drainage, regardless of surgery and type of drainage system applied was 4.86±0.8 days. The average duration of pleural drainage in patients attached to the mobile digital drainage system was shorter than that in patients with a conventional pleural non-mobile drainage system, regardless of the type of surgery done. This difference was statistically significant in favor of the digital pleural drainage system. The study also found a statistically significant difference in terms of financial costs in favor of digital draining system. The average cost of a hospital stay for patients attached to a mobile digital drainage system was BGN 119.40±7.15, whereas the average cost of a hospital stay for patients connected to a traditional pleural drainage system (PDS) was BGN 159±10.50. Regarding the duration of postoperative air leak, the difference between the types of pleural drainage mechanism used was not convincing.
Conclusions: Digital pleural drainage systems provide clinicians with an opportunity to assess the postoperative air leak more precisely, track its dynamics, shorten hospital stays, reduce postoperative costs, and optimize the time to remove the chest drain. Based on these features, they will undoubtedly continue to enter everyday surgical practice.

Alors que les sciences exactes ont le microscope, les sciences sociales pourraient-elles compter sur l’appareil photo et la caméra ? En 2017, Daniel Vander Gucht publie aux Impressions Nouvelles Ce que regarder veut dire	1 . Derrière ce titre en forme de décalque bourdieusien, l’auteur entreprend non pas un tournant visuel de la sociologie, mais bien plutôt d’analyser et de formaliser les pratiques relatives à l’usage des images dans les recherches en sociologie : au-delà de l’analyse des images, il promeut une sociologie en images et par les images, sur laquelle il revient dans l’entretien qui suit.
Des relations étudiants-institution sur WeChat . Étude de publications lors d’une cérémonie de remise de diplômes en Chine
Authors: Rocher Jean-Maurice 
Published: October 2023

Cet article 1 questionne les pratiques d’étudiants chinois utilisateurs du réseau socionumérique Moments de WeChat , en regard de leur appartenance à une institution universitaire, et plus particulièrement de leur participation à la cérémonie de remise de diplôme 2020 organisée par celle-ci. Il s’agit de saisir comment les relations entre l’administration universitaire et les étudiants se perpétuent à travers les pratiques éditoriales en ligne de ces deux catégories d’acteurs interdépendants en présence, et quels sont leurs intérêts propres à activer le « dispositif communicationnel » au centre duquel figure WeChat . Le recours à l’analyse qualitative et comparative des messages publiés sur Moments par les étudiants et des articles diffusés par l’université fait entre autres apparaître un « jeu », plutôt qu’une tension, entre l’institué et l’instituant.
Quelles sublimations ? Quels équilibres ?
Authors: Danon-Boileau Laurent 
Published: October 2023

On oppose sublimation « d’exception », productrice de biens culturels (quelle qu’en soit la qualité), et sublimation ordinaire, sans production particulière, mais préservant le plaisir du sujet dans la vie quotidienne. Si la première peut avoir partie liée avec l’excès économique et la pulsion de mort, la seconde se place d’emblée sous l’égide du principe de plaisir. Toutefois l’articulation de ces deux formes de sublimation, pourtant décisive, s’avère souvent délicate. Certains créateurs ont recours au clivage fonctionnel, maintenant leur conviction de toute-puissance dans le registre de la sublimation d’exception et du travail de l’œuvre, mais limitant ses effets dans le registre du quotidien et de la sublimation ordinaire. Pourtant, cette « solution » ne permet pas la prise en compte de la castration. Shakespeare le montre quand, à la fin de La tempête, Prospero l’alchimiste sacrifie son savoir civilisateur sur l’autel de la transmission, relançant alors son appétence sublimatoire.
La tentation psychobiographique. Autour des archives de Marie Bonaparte
Authors: Amouroux Rémy 
Published: October 2023

La récente publication de la volumineuse correspondance entre Sigmund Freud et Marie Bonaparte a mis en lumière l’importance des archives de cette dernière. De Paris à Washington, en passant par le Texas, ce sont des dizaines de mètres linéaires qui sont aujourd’hui disponibles. Il ne s’agit pas seulement de textes techniques liés à sa production scientifique, mais aussi et surtout, de documents biographiques : lettres, journaux intimes et productions enfantines. Cette pionnière française de la psychanalyse et adepte convaincue de l’approche psychobiographique nous a en effet légué tout le matériel nécessaire pour que l’on se penche sur sa vie psychique intime. Malgré tout l’intérêt de cette démarche, cet article invite à ne pas céder trop rapidement à cette tentation psychobiographique, et à considérer ses archives comme un construit plutôt que comme un témoignage brut.
Job stressors and health of SME directors
Authors: Parmentier Clément , Truchot Didier , Lheureux Florent 
Published: October 2023

Peu d’études explorent les facteurs de stress et la santé au travail des dirigeants de petites et moyennes entreprises (PME), notamment dans le contexte français. La présente étude vise à identifier les stresseurs professionnels des dirigeants de PME françaises (dirigeants propriétaires et dirigeants salariés). Elle compare également les stresseurs observés en contexte français avec ceux identifiés dans la littérature internationale. Enfin, elle évalue l’impact réel des stresseurs sur l’épuisement émotionnel, la satisfaction au travail et les troubles du sommeil. Basée sur une méthode mixte, une étude qualitative par entretiens a d’abord été menée auprès de 14 dirigeants français de PME puis une étude quantitative par questionnaire auprès de 881 dirigeants français de PME (répartis en dirigeants propriétaires et salariés). Enfin, plusieurs analyses ont été menées notamment des analyses factorielles exploratoires et confirmatoires. L’étude qualitative a abouti à une liste de 36 principaux stresseurs présentés sous la forme d’items. Les analyses factorielles ont permis d’identifier quatre facteurs de stress : les ressources humaines et les problèmes de gestion, les facteurs de stress économiques et éthiques, les facteurs de stress relationnels liés aux clients et la pression du temps. Ces facteurs de stress étaient significativement associés aux trois résultats. Bien que partageant les mêmes quatre types de facteurs de stress, des différences existent entre les directeurs propriétaires et les directeurs salariés. Cette étude contribue aux connaissances et fournit des informations utiles pour les interventions pratiques des professionnels de santé (par exemple, meilleur ajustement des actions de prévention, baromètre social) et en tant qu’outil d’auto-évaluation pour les dirigeants de PME.
ACTUALIZACIÓN DE ENFOQUES DIAGNÓSTICOS Y TERAPÉUTICOS EN ADENOMAS HIPOFISIARIOS PRODUCTORES DE PROLACTINA: REVISIÓN NARRATIVA
Authors: Almeida Alvarado Jhoanna Cristina , Falconi Valencia María Cristina , Flores Arévalo Gladys Cristina , Escobar Bermeo Naomi Salomé 
Published: October 2023

Introducción. Un prolactinoma es aquel adenoma productor de prolactina que puede clasificarse en dependencia de su tamaño e invasión local como microadenoma o macroadenoma. Es una patología muy común que afecta a 50 por cada 100.000 personas. Su fisiopatología se basa en un desequilibrio en la función del eje hipotálamo-hipofisiario. Objetivo. Identificar los enfoques diagnósticos y terapéuticos en adenomas hipofisiarios productores de prolactina en la actualidad. Método. Revisión bibliográfica de tipo narrativa. Se incluyó información de revistas, libros e informes, que tuvieran como máximo 6 años de anterioridad y que hablaran de los temas señalados, excluyendo documentos realizados en idiomas diferentes. Resultados. Se encontraron 65 documentos de los cuales se incluyeron 31 bibliografías que cumplieron con los criterios de selección propuestos. Discusión. El diagnóstico actual se basa en la presencia de hiperprolactinemia (niveles altos de prolactina en sangre), que puede estar acompañado de otras manifestaciones como aumento de peso, hipogonadismo, e incluso síntomas compresivos. Se confirma con una resonancia magnética de silla turca simple y contrastada. En cuanto al tratamiento, puede ser quirúrgico o farmacológico. Se opta por el primero cuando el prolactinoma está causando síntomas compresivos, y el segundo cuando aún es posible que este disminuya su tamaño. Conclusiones. El diagnóstico del prolactinoma se basa en manifestaciones clínicas por hiperprolactinemia y la resonancia magnética con gadolinio. Descartar otras causas de hiperprolactinemia es importante. La terapia inicial son agonistas dopaminérgicos, preferentemente cabergolina, pero la extirpación quirúrgica puede ser considerada según el tamaño del adenoma y respuesta a fármacos.
