Les habitants et l’eau dans la ville de Vendôme du xe au xve s. : entre usages et structuration de l’espace
Authors: Simon Gaël 
Published: January 2025

Vendôme est ce que l’on peut nommer une « petite Venise », dont le réseau hydraulique relativement dense et complexe (plus de 11 km de canaux sur une distance de 2,3 km entre la première et la dernière dérivation du Loir à son apogée au xviie s.) s’est mis en place progressivement et principalement entre la fin du xe s. et la fin du xve s. Le creusement de ces nombreux canaux répondait à des besoins divers et variés tels que l’installation de systèmes de défense aux xe, xie et xiiie s., l’utilisation de la puissance motrice de l’eau pour les sept moulins du xie s. et les dix-sept du xve s., les ressources halieutiques, la fabrication du cuir ou encore la lutte contre les crues fréquentes. Ce réseau et ses usages ne résultent pas d’une seule autorité, mais d’une multitude d’acteurs aux intérêts divers qui semblent négocier au jour le jour leur usage. Le dossier vendômois permet également d’enrichir les études sur la fabrique urbaine et plus précisément sur la résilience des formes comme celle des paléochenaux en montrant comment la forme d’un paléochenal du Loir s’est transmise sur plusieurs millénaires en étant constamment réactivée pour des fonctions diverses et successives (fossés de lutte contre les inondations, système de défense, approvisionnement des moulins, etc.).

Authors: Ng Ka T. , Lim Wei E. , Teoh Wan Y. , Fadzli Ahmad N. B. , Abidin Mohd F. B. Z. 
Published: January 2025

Background and Aims:
Recent trials showed that transurethral lignocaine for bladder irrigation provides excellent analgesic effects and can minimise catheter-related bladder discomfort. The primary objective was to determine the efficacy of intravesical lignocaine on the incidence of catheter-related bladder discomfort in adult patients undergoing urologic surgery.

Methods:
The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases were searched from their start date until December 2024. Randomised clinical trials (RCTs) were included, comparing intravesical lignocaine and control for bladder irrigation in adults undergoing urological surgery. The odds ratio (OR) of the incidence of severe, moderate, and mild catheter-related bladder discomfort and the incidence of rescue analgesia were assessed. The revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for RCTs was applied to evaluate the risk of bias in all included studies. GRADEpro was used to evaluate the quality of the evidence.

Results:
Compared to the control group, our pooled analysis of three RCTs showed that intravesical lignocaine significantly reduced the incidence of severe catheter-related bladder discomfort (OR: 0.27, 95% confidence interval (Cl): 0.12, 0.58, P = 0.0008, grade of evidence: low) and the incidence of moderate catheter-related bladder discomfort (OR: 0.31, 95% Cl: 0.14, 0.67, P = 0.003, grade of evidence: low). It also statistically decreased the incidence of rescue analgesia (OR: 0.06, 95% Cl: 0.02, 0.15, P < 0.00001, grade of evidence: low).

Conclusions:
The intravesical administration of lignocaine statistically reduced moderate and severe catheter-related bladder discomfort. There was a significant decrease in the number of patients requiring rescue analgesia in the intravesical lignocaine group.

Spontaneous Rupture of Pelvicalyceal System in a Horseshoe Kidney Presenting as Acute Abdomen
Authors: Danish Syed , Puthalath Rajeev Thekke 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Horseshoe kidney is the most common congenital renal fusion anomaly. It is more prone to complications such as pelviureteric junction obstruction and renal stones. Spontaneous rupture of the urinary collecting with urinoma has never been reported in a horseshoe kidney in literature. Spontaneous rupture of the renal pelvis is a rare event even in orthotopic kidneys and can be due to obstructing calculus. Spontaneous rupture in the horseshoe kidney can mimic acute abdominal conditions. We report a case of a 29-year-old man who presented in the emergency department with severe mid-abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) evaluation of the abdomen showed contrast extravasation outside the right pelvicalyceal system with pelviureteric junction obstruction in a horseshoe kidney with extensive collection in the subhepatic, subdiaphragmatic, and right pleural region. The patient underwent a double-J stent placement which was followed by complete healing of the urinary leak and underwent definitive open pyeloplasty after 3 months. Diagnosis and therapeutic challenges in this rare case are being discussed.
Immunohistochemistry Expression of Chemokine Ligand 14, Periostin, and Suppressor of Mothers against Decapentaplegic 2 in High-grade Serous Carcinoma of Ovary and Its Potential Clinical Utility

Published: January 2025

Introduction:
High-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary is the second most common cause of death from gynecological cancers. The debate about the sequence of treatment choice, between surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) continues due to the lack of substantial evidence and biomarkers for determination of surgical outcome. The present study is conducted to evaluate chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand14 (CXCL14), periostin (POSTN), and suppressor of mothers against decapentaplegic 2 (SMAD2) expression on immunohistochemistry (IHC) and to find out the association of these markers with the disease outcome.

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective and observational study of a total number of 57 patients of operated high-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary. IHC was performed on pre-NACT tissue samples including ascitic fluid cell blocks and core biopsies using Roche Ventana Benchmark XT autostainer.

Results:
Using the mean Q score as cutoff value, we found cutoff value for CXCL 14, POSTN, and SMAD2 expression as 155.44, 52.32, and 116.93, respectively. CXCL14 expression was found to be significantly associated with T staging (P = 0.0187). POSTN expression was associated with short disease-free survival only after multivariate analysis (P = 0.012). SMAD2 expression was significantly associated with the mesenteric deposit (P = 0.0229). High CXCL14 expression was associated with short disease-free survival (P = 0.020).

Conclusion:
CXCL14 expression can be used as a potential prognostic tool in High-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary. Evaluation of these surrogate IHC markers of inherent aggressive tumor biology did not show an association with surgical outcome in a limited sample size of tumors with suboptimal debulking and needs further evaluation to find out as a preoperative determinant of surgical outcome in clinical practice.

Abstract: Overweight and obesity are one of the major health problems worldwide. Today, it is a pressing problem in the world's navy as well. A retrospective analysis was conducted to determine the prevalence of overweight among Georgian sailors.
450 sailors aged 20-60 who underwent medical professional examinations from 2021 to 2023 at the Batumi Seafarers' Medical Center were examined. Body mass index was calculated and compared across different age groups.
The normal weight of the examined seafarers was recorded in 9.5% of cases, overweight in 84.4% and obesity in 6%. The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity was 90.5%. The overall average body mass index (BMI) was 26.9±0.5 kg/m². There was an age-dependent increase in BMI.
The study reveals a widespread prevalence of obesity among Georgian seafarers. It is necessary to continue the research and implement measures to combat obesity and prevent it.

Regional Equity and Fiscal Decentralization: Which States Stay Robust During the Economic Downturn?
Authors: Park HyungGun , Park Ji Min , Park Hyung Jun 
Published: January 2025

Location and level of government are critical factors that promise statewide economic growth. While existing research is prone to focus on the role that the factors consistently contribute to growth, there is limited understanding of how the structural varieties of geographical concentrations and decentralization could be effective during economic crises. Based on data from 29 OECD countries between 2000 and 2019, this study finds mixed empirical findings. First, the result shows the degree of concentration standing for regional inequity per se has adverse effects on the growth, while allowing states to withstand economic crises, having a modest decline. Second, oppositely, the fiscal decentralization rapidly enhances nationwide economic growth but is prone to experience far more losses than its less decentralized counterparts. The patterns point out some limited application of both regional equity and fiscal decentralization for economic development, leaving an implication that local governance may be differently managed in consideration of economic shocks.
Serum calcium and its relationship with immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels in prepartum buffaloes from the Venezuelan humid tropics
Authors: Uzcátegui-Varela Juan Pablo , Urbina Andueza Anacelmira , Caamaño Carrero Janeth 
Published: January 2025

The immune system partially recognizes specific antigens due to the role of calcium (Ca2+) as an intracellular second messenger that regulates the humoral immune response. To consider a physiological association between serum Ca2+ levels and its modulatory effect on immunoglobulin G (IgG) synthesis before calving in dairy buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in southern Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, twenty clinically healthy Murrah x Mediterranean crossbred female buffaloes with excellent body condition were considered for this study. Ten were young females of 33.6±14.15 months, with nine months of gestation and 432±44.27 kg body weight. The other ten were adult buffaloes of 563±53.6 kg body weight at nine months of gestation and reproductive history of four calvings. The sampling consisted of collecting 6 milliliters (mL) of blood by jugular venipuncture in tubes without anticoagulant; then, the serum was separated by centrifugation at 3,300 r.p.m. for 20 minutes at 25 °C using a BOECO®-Germany centrifuge. Next, 1 mL of serum was taken to determine the serological parameters under study. Ca2+ was found in the blood through the Arsenazo III method using a Selectra ProsS ELITech®- Netherlands Analyzer and, to quantify the levels of IgG; the immunoturbidimetry technique was used with the Cobas c311 Roche® Analyzer®-USA. The data were subjected to the Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test and Spearman correlation analysis. According to the results obtained, primiparous B. bubalis females close to parturition presented serum Ca2+ levels (8.03±0.25 mg/dL) similar to multiparous buffaloes (8.07±0.7 mg/dL) adjusted to the reference range (6.05-11.98 mg/dL) for water buffaloes. In contrast, IgG in young females was higher (761.33±21.81 mg/dL) concerning adult buffaloes (735. 83±17.39 mg/dL) with no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between groups for both variables; however, the correlation test indicated that, in first calving buffaloes, the circulating Ca2+ level is negatively associated (r=-0.56) with IgG concentration, a physiological response that was statistically different (p<0.05) concerning multiparous buffaloes (r=0.83). There is evidence of an association between serum calcium concentration and IgG levels that depends on the number of calvings, possibly because different metabolic pathways for Ca 2+ exchange determine the immune response among the categories of buffaloes included in the study. Thus, the functional significance of Ca2+ signaling for the prepartum B. bubalis immune system is just beginning to emerge.
Steps in Time

This paper argues that the aporia at the heart of Derrida’s essay on hospitality — its absence, its transgressions, its digressions – perfectly describes the narrative landscape of Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 novel, The Road. Following Derrida along McCarthy’s post-apocalyptic road allows the reader to explore the impossible hospitality of a world in which a man and his son must travel without the comforts of home or the safety of houses. It also suggests the opposite – revealing the experience of homelessness as the pre-condition, both ethical and imaginative, for defining hospitality, our ways of relating to others, as others. The novel’s aporetic conclusion reduces the novel’s protracted engagement with hospitality and its absence to the simple gesture of accepting what comes (à venir), a gesture that will, in the end, provide a future (l’avenir). Derrida’s meditations on hospitality repeatedly invoke the mythic figure of Oedipus, and this essay concludes by suggesting that reading Oedipus’ death as a final, transgressive act of hospitality might spark new insights into the man’s death in The Road as well as how a Derridean reading of the impossible poetics of hospitality in The Road prompts a similarly productive engagement with time in Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus.
Проблема доверия между гражданином и государством в условиях цифровизации: к вопросу о связи суверенитета с общением и правом на риск
Authors: Белоус В.Г. , Никифоров А.А. 
Published: January 2025

Авторы статьи анализируют политику, общение и восприятие риска на примере современной России в контексте широкого спектра политико-философских идей: от Аристотеля до М. Фуко. Политика рассматривается как сфера общения и культуры. Авторов интересует, каким образом в условиях цифровой трансформации осуществляется взаимосвязь между и суверенитетом граждан, с одной стороны, и преодолением рисков – с другой. Подчёркивается, что игнорирование ценностей и перспектив внутригосударственного общения является показателем кризиса современной политики. Авторы указывают на эволюцию способов управления рисками от принятия индивидуальной ответственности к делегированию этой ответственности государству. Кроме того, рассматривается влияние цифровизации на доверие между государством и гражданами, подчёркивается важность симметричного анализа доверия как к государству, так и к гражданам. В итоге делается вывод о необходимости выработки новых практических методов анализа цифровых дискурсов для оценки доверия между государством и гражданами. Лейтмотивом статьи является поиск новых подходов к общению, управлению рисками и установлению доверия в современной политике, особенно в условиях цифровизации; данные аспекты представлены как ключевые для социокультурного развития общества.
The given article analyzes politics, communication and risk-perception in the context of contemporary Russia. Research design is based on the ideas of Aristotle, and the concept of governmentality of M. Foucault. The authors investigate the relationship between politics as an area of communication, and culture, and the sovereignty of citizens, on the other hand, the paper reflects on the role of risk in formation of civic sovereignty. It is emphasized that ignoring the values and prospects of domestic communication is an indicator of the crisis of modern politics. The authors point to the evolution of risk-management approach from taking individual responsibility to delegating this responsibility to the state. In addition, the arguing is considered the impact of digitalization on trust between the state and citizens. It is emphasized the importance of a symmetrical analysis of trust in both the state and citizens. As a result, the article reflects on the need to develop new practical methods of analyzing digital discourses to assess trust between the state and citizens. The general theme of the article is the search for a new approaches to communication, risk management and building trust in modern politics, especially in the context of digitalization, that presents such important aspects of socio-cultural development of society.

Authors: Корякина А.А. 
Published: January 2025

Данная научная работа посвящена проблеме построения идентичности в контексте межкультурных взаимодействий. Идентичность является актуальной сферой исследования в социальной философии, и взаимодействие между различными культурами может существенно влиять на формирование и переосмысление личностной и коллективной идентичности. Автором исследованы основные подходы, влияющие на построение идентичности в межкультурной среде. Цель – изучение процесса построения идентичности в контексте межкультурных взаимодействий с позиций этих подходов. В статье представлены и сопоставлены постструктуралистский и гуманистический подходы к исследованию идентичности в межкультурной коммуникации, используемые исследователями. Показано, на каком основании люди конструируют идентичность других и как люди реагируют на несоответствие между тем, как они себя идентифицируют, и тем, как их воспринимают. Согласно постструктуралистской традиции, предлагается модель межкультурной коммуникации, применимая в полиэтнических обществах. Модель рассматривает процесс коммуникации с позиции человека. Согласно гуманистическому подходу, показано, насколько актуально конструировать идентичность другого человека в соответствии с его самоидентификацией в конкретный момент.
This scientific work is devoted to the problem of identity construction in the context of intercultural interactions. Identity is an actual field of study in social philosophy, and interactions between different cultures can significantly influence the formation and redefinition of personal and collective identities. The article studies the main approaches that influence the construction of identity in an intercultural environment. The purpose of the article is to study the process of identity construction in the context of intercultural interactions from the perspective of these approaches. The article presents and compares poststructuralist and humanistic approaches to the study of identity in intercultural communication used by researchers. The article shows how people construct the identities of others and how people respond to discrepancies between how they identify and how they are perceived. According to the poststructuralist tradition, a model of intercultural communication is proposed that is applicable in multiethnic societies. The model considers the communication process from a human perspective. According to the humanistic approach, it is shown how relevant it is to construct the identity of another person in accordance with his self-identification at a particular moment.
Феноменология чистого музыкального бытия А. Ф. Лосева
Authors: Бочаркин Д.В. , Матюшова М.П. 
Published: January 2025

Феноменологический подход к изучению видов искусств имеет свои особенности, которые складываются с момента появления данного направления. Феноменология интересуется музыкой в большей степени в силу её абстрактности, ведь несмотря на то, что она не имеет материальной формы, как скульптура, живопись или архитектура, музыка так или иначе крайне сильно способна влиять на психоэмоциональное состояние человека. Может показаться, что именно физиология, психология и физика должны быть основой подобных исследований, однако, как показывает А. Ф. Лосев в работе «Музыка как предмет логики», данная база не может в полной мере объяснить феномен подлинной музыки. Чтобы постигнуть или как минимум прикоснуться к настоящему феномену музыки, мыслитель вводит понятие «чистое музыкальное бытие», которое имеет свои основные положения. Целью статьи является рассмотреть и проанализировать предложенный А. Ф. Лосевым концепт чистого музыкального бытия в своей специфике и структурности. Исследуя основоположения по А. Ф. Лосеву, формируется вывод, что чистое музыкальное бытие есть бытие гилетическое, проявляющееся в хаотичной форме; музыка представляет собой борьбу с самостью, но имеет в себе жизнь чисел, отсюда и становится очевидной опора философа на античную идею связи математики с музыкой, однако мыслитель наделяет первое логичностью, а второе – алогичностью.
Phenomenological approach to the study of arts has its own peculiarities, which have formed since the emergence of this direction in philosophy. Phenomenology is interested in music to a greater extent due to its abstract nature; although it does not have a material form like sculpture, painting or architecture, music is extremely capable of influencing the psycho-emotional state of a person. It may seem that physiology, psychology and physics should be the basis of such studies, but, as A. F. Losev shows in his work “Music as a Subject of Logic”, this basis cannot fully explain the phenomenon of real, authentic music. In order to comprehend or, at least, to touch the real phenomenon of music, the thinker introduces the concept of “pure musical existence”, which, in turn, has its own basic provisions. The aim of the article is to examine and analyse the concept of pure musical existence proposed by A. F. Losev in its specificity and structure. By examining the fundamentals, according to A. F. Losev, a conclusion is formed that pure musical existence is a hyletic being, manifesting itself in a chaotic form; music is a struggle with selfhood, but has in itself the life of numbers, hence the philosopher's reliance on the ancient idea of the connection between mathematics and music becomes obvious, but A. F. Losev endows the former with logicality and the latter with illogicality.
