Existe-t-il un style constitutionnel ?
Authors: Pluen Olivier 
Published: October 2023

Appuyée sur une très riche histoire constitutionnelle et révisée à vingt-quatre reprises, la Constitution de la V e République paraît notamment et a priori offrir un excellent sujet de réflexion, afin de savoir s’il existe un style constitutionnel. Mais le style des textes normatifs, déjà peu étudié en tant que tel en légistique, l’est encore moins à l’égard de l’écriture constitutionnelle, nécessitant alors de faire appel au regard de la linguistique juridique. Perdu dans le style législatif, le style constitutionnel, pour être distingué, implique de partir à la recherche de marques empiriques et de tenter de dégager un cadre juridique propre à son développement.
Protéger la constitution
Authors: Paour Raphaël 
Published: October 2023

Protéger la constitution ne revient pas à préserver un trésor hérité des pères fondateurs. La garantir implique de prendre part à la création de la norme constitutionnelle. Alors, pourquoi un tel pouvoir serait-il abandonné par les acteurs politiques à des juridictions constitutionnelles, réputées indépendantes ? Contrairement à ce qui est enseigné par la vulgate constitutionnaliste, il ne l’est pas. Car non seulement les mécanismes de protection politique de la constitution demeurent omniprésents, mais surtout les juridictions constitutionnelles ne fonctionnent pas, le plus souvent, comme des organes indépendants susceptibles de contrarier de manière significative les majorités.
Variations textuelles et discursives d’un souvenir d’enfance d’Albert Cohen
Authors: Adam Jean-Michel 
Published: October 2023

Mettant en relation l’analyse du discours littéraire, la rhétorique et la théorie de l’argumentation, la présente étude porte sur un « souvenir d’enfance » d’Albert Cohen qui réapparaît dans quatre textes autobiographiques et trois entretiens. Les différentes occurrences de cet épisode des insultes proférées, le jour de ses dix ans, par un camelot antisémite, sont intéressantes pour ce qui se répète d’une occurrence à l’autre, mais surtout pour ce qui varie. En prolongeant l’étude par Claire Stolz du récit paru dans La France libre, en 1945, j’insiste ici sur la rhétorique épidictique qui traverse sa reprise dans la revue Esprit, en septembre 1945, et sur la dimension judiciaire et délibérative de Ô vous, frères humains (1972) et de Carnets 1978. L’analyse des insultes racistes met en avant la façon dont le blâme épidictique traverse l’usage perverti de la parole qui caractérise l’éloquence du camelot.
Ethos et scénographie éditoriaux : analyse sémio-discursive de deux réécritures numériques de classiques littéraires
Authors: Amadori Sara 
Published: October 2023

Cette étude propose une analyse sémio-discursive des réécritures numériques de deux classiques, Le Horla et Voyage au centre de la terre, réalisées par un éditeur de littérature jeunesse français, L’Apprimerie. L’analyse des paratextes éditoriaux du corpus révèle que l’« ethos éditorial » projeté est celui d’un éditeur qui souhaite, d’une part, réaffirmer la filiation de ses ouvrages avec la tradition littéraire imprimée, mais qui, d’autre part, entend la renouveler en proposant à son public des expériences littéraires immersives de type nouveau. Un tel ethos reflète l’image de soi que l’éditeur projette dans l’espace public, et qui lui permet de se présenter comme un acteur qui, en conjuguant innovation et tradition par le biais du numérique, offre des produits inclusifs et ayant une considérable valeur esthétique et pédagogique.
L’activité de l’encadrant : savoir adopter la perspective de l’activité d’autrui
Authors: de Bisschop Hervé , Métral Jean-François 
Published: October 2023

Comme activité « d’intervention sur l’activité d’autrui » (Barbier, 2011, p. 62), celle de l’encadrant, lorsqu’elle est conçue comme l’expérience qui émerge du couplage dynamique entre un acteur et son environnement en situation d’animation d’un collectif de travail, reste largement cachée pour un observateur extérieur. En conséquence, sa compréhension exige des méthodes de dévoilement de la manière avec laquelle l’encadrant se construit un point de vue sur l’activité de celles et ceux qu’il dirige. Dans une visée compréhensive, la présente recherche se propose de documenter les variables de la situation relatives à l’activité des encadrés, à leurs états et à leurs évolutions au gré des transformations de la situation, qui sont prises en compte par l’encadrant pour savoir, faire et contrôler ce qui est à faire (Tourmen, 2014). À cette fin, elle s’intéresse à l’expérience vécue par les élèves-officiers de l’armée de terre au cours d’un stage d’aguerrissement. Les résultats montrent comment, pour déployer son activité, l’encadrant combine deux perspectives simultanées sur la situation : la sienne ; celle qu’il attribue à autrui et qu’il infère des combinaisons de prises d’informations sur le groupe et ses membres, l’environnement, la réalisation de la tâche et sa propre activité (ce qu’il pense, fait et ressent). Cette recherche propose un éclairage complémentaire à ce que l’approche par l’activité peut apporter à l’intelligibilité d’une activité complexe comme celle de l’encadrant, en particulier en la documentant non plus seulement à partir de la description de ce qu’il fait (Mintzberg, 1984), mais de ce qu’il vit et expérimente en lui et avec autrui. Elle débouche sur quelques propositions de perspectives pour la formation des futurs encadrants.
Concevoir pour l’activité de travail orientée vers l’action publique : le cas d’un Plan Climat‑Air‑Énergie Territorial
Authors: Guibourdenche Julien , Fréjus Myriam 
Published: October 2023

Que signifie d’instrumenter l’activité de travail des responsables et contributeurs d’un plan de transition écologique sur le territoire d’une grande métropole ? Notre article présente les résultats d’une recherche en ergonomie visant initialement à concevoir un outil permettant de coordonner un Plan Climat-Air-Énergie Territorial (PCAET). 20 acteurs d’un établissement public de coopération intercommunal (EPCI) français et 5 acteurs métropolitains et régionaux extérieurs à l’EPCI ont été consultés entre 2021 et 2022 (entretiens, remise en situation, observations, ateliers). Nos résultats dévoilent 5 classes d’activités interdépendantes ayant des implications fortes pour la conception de l’interaction humain-machine et la compréhension de cette activité de travail : concevoir, communiquer, rechercher, analyser et suivre. Ces résultats nous amènent à discuter des conséquences pour la conception de l’outil, des différences entre instrument d’action publique et instrument dans l’activité de travail, ainsi que des points communs et différences entre cette activité de travail (orientée vers l’action publique) et les notions de travail politique, travail de territorialisation et travail d’intermédiation. Prendre soin de l’activité de travail orienté vers l’action publique sur les enjeux écologiques est certainement un moyen important de contribuer à identifier, reformuler et atteindre effectivement les objectifs cruciaux des prochaines années.
NITR12+ NK Cells Release Perforin to Mediate IgMhi B Cell Killing in Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)
Authors: Wang Wei , Wang Ying , Yang Jin , Liu Qin , Zhang Yuanxing , Yang Dahai 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
B lymphocytes engaged in humoral immunity play a critical role in combating pathogenic infections; however, the mechanisms of NK cells in regulating the responses of B cells remain largely unknown. In the present study, we established an Edwardsiella piscicida infection model in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and found that the production of IgM was decreased. Meanwhile, through establishing the head kidney-derived lymphocyte infection model, we revealed that the impairment of IgMhi B cells was associated with bacterial infection–induced perforin production. Interestingly, we reveal that perforin production in NK cells is tightly regulated by an inhibitory novel immune-type receptor, NITR12. Moreover, we confirm that inhibiting NITR12 can result in elevated perforin production, engaging the impairment of IgMhi B cells. Taken together, these findings demonstrate an innovative strategy of NK cells in mediating B lymphocyte killing in turbot and suggest that relieving NK cells through NITR12 might be the target for the development of efficacious vaccines.

Authors: Sharma Riddhi , Oberoi Naveen , Kaur Jaswinder , Kaur Gurpreet , Singh Ravpreet 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Aim:
The study aimed to evaluate and compare the dimensional stability, accuracy, and reproducibility of two commercially available interocclusal recording materials.

Settings and Design:
This study was an in vitro study.

Materials and Methods:
Two commercially available interocclusal recording materials were taken—polyvinyl siloxane and bis-acrylic. Two groups each of 40 specimens were made, and a stainless-steel master die was prepared according to American dental association specification no. 19. The die consisted of cylindrical ruled block with a diameter of 38 mm, height of 31 mm, mold, and a metal riser. Materials were homogenously mixed and loaded in the prepared die to obtain the specimen in the form of a disc measuring 3 mm in thickness and 30 mm in diameter with three parallel lines on the surface designated as X, Y, and Z, and two vertical lines marked as CD, C’D’. The specimens were submerged in a 36 ± 1°C water bath for 3 min. Distance between lines was measured with the contour measuring device Contracer at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h time intervals, and the values were statistically analyzed.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The samples were statistically analyzed using the statistical software (STATA 15.0), t test was used to access the significant differences, and the results were presented. The level of statistical significance was set at less than 0.05.

Results:
Both the materials showed maximum accuracy and dimensional stability in the initial stages but decreased as the time factor increased. The results showed a less significant percentage of dimensional change for bis-acrylic-based material, whereas polyvinyl siloxane exhibited significant dimensional changes up to 48 h.

Conclusion:
Dimensional changes were influenced by both material and time factors, and the difference exhibited by the materials were statistically significant at 1, 24, and 48 h.
Assessment of knowledge and awareness about the relationship between periodontitis with pregnancy outcome and preterm low birth weight infants among pregnant and nonpregnant women: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Patil Sharashchandra , Chakote Savita , Gaidhankar Sapnil , Patil Ambika Y , Chambole Anjali , Kalluraya Swasthik B , Narshima Raju Kulkarni B 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background:
Periodontal diseases are risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes like preterm low birth weight infants. Lack of awareness and attitudes regarding oral health leads to neonatal mortality and preterm low birth weight among infants; hence, prenatal health care should include an assessment of oral health during pregnancy. Hence, it is essential to the assessment of knowledge and awareness about the relationship between periodontitis and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the knowledge and awareness among the female population using a questionnaire in S. B Patil Institute of Dental Science and Research Bidar in association with Bidar Institute of Medical Sciences Bidar, Karnataka. A total number of 100 patients (50 pregnant women and 50 nonpregnant women) aged between 25 and 35 years were selected. Data were collected using a questionnaire.

Results:
The responses of the patients regarding the knowledge and awareness about periodontitis have shown that both pregnant and non-pregnant women share similar results. About 55% of women know about the fact that periodontal disease occurs during pregnancy, and only 16% know about preterm low birth infants. A total of 74% of women agreed that counseling was necessary about periodontal disease during pregnancy.

Conclusion:
The study indicates a lack of awareness of the association, or it might reflect their disagreement with the association despite being aware of the evidence.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background:
Nigeria was recently congratulated for successfully eradicating wild poliovirus, but this does not mean that all under five years children are fully vaccinated. The country was encouraged to sustain regular vaccination to prevent mortality among children under five. This study explores mothers’ characteristics associated with the immunization status of children under five in northern Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted in six states in northern Nigeria among mothers/caregivers with under-five children. A multistage random sampling technique was employed using a structured questionnaire to collect data. Data collected were inputted into were analyzed using IBM-SPSS, version 25.0.

Results:
Of the 3511 children whose mothers were interviewed in this study, 1838 (52.3%) were males, whereas 1673 (47.7%) were females. Children older than 3 years were adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 7.432 (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.585–9.889; P < 0.001) times, 31–40 months were AOR 7.285 (95% CI, 5.430–9.773; P < 0.001) times, 21–30 months were AOR 5.084 (95% CI, 3.993–6.474; P < 0.001) times, and those aged 11–20 months were AOR 4.312 (95% CI, 3.525–5.275; P < 0.001) more likely to be fully vaccinated than children aged 10 months and below. Women over 50 years were 3.904 times more likely to have fully vaccinated their children than women aged 20 and below. Mothers with Quranic education (P = 0.004) were 1.503 times more likely to fully immunize their child(ren) than mothers with tertiary education.

Conclusion:
It is recommended that the government support ongoing campaigns and enlightenment programs on the benefits of full immunization through healthcare professionals and intervention programs.
Effectiveness of Dexmedetomidine as premedication to modify the heart rate response to modified electroconvulsive therapy: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Kalyanshetti Nikhita , Shivapujimath Manjunath , Kalal Raghavendra 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background:
The present study aims to examine whether using Dexmedetomidine as a premedication can reduce heart rate (HR) and peak HR during modified electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). It is known that the acute hemodynamic stress induced by ECT may elevate the risk of cardiovascular complications in psychiatric patients. Previous research has suggested that β-blockers and α-2 adrenergic agonists effectively alleviate the hyperdynamic responses to ECT. Therefore, the current study seeks to determine whether Dexmedetomidine can offer similar benefits in regulating HR fluctuations during the modified ECT procedure.

Materials and Methods:
In this prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled study, a total of 60 psychiatric patients aged between 18 and 50 years, categorized as per the American Society of Anaesthesiologists score I and II, and scheduled for ECT, were included. These patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group D, which received 50 mL of normal saline (NS) with 1 µg/kg of Dexmedetomidine, and Group C, which received 50 mL of NS only. HR measurements were taken every 15 s for 5 min following the modified ECT, and any changes in peak HR were carefully recorded and analyzed.

Results:
The mean age (years) and weight (kg) in groups C and D were 29.5 ± 7.82 and 32.5 ± 8.37, 59.4 ± 5.33 and 58.6 ± 4.57, respectively. Both groups did not differ significantly concerning age (P = 0.157) and weight (P = 0.519). Statistically, no significant difference in mean HR (baseline, before ECT, and peak HR following ECT within 5 min) was observed between study groups. In group D, the rise in HR was significantly less when compared to group C (P = 0.001). The groups had a significant (P = 0.001) difference in HR before ECT.

Conclusions:
The administration of Dexmedetomidine at a dose of 1 µg/kg as premedication resulted in a notable decrease in HR and peak HR responses during the modified ECT.
Cetirizine-induced anaphylactic reaction refractory to steroids: A case report
Authors: Benny Rose Merin , Kurian Savya , Joseph Siby , Rodriguez Romia , Puthuran Paul 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Cetirizine is the first choice over-the-counter drug for all types of allergic reactions. Belonging to the second-generation antihistamine, it has a very high affinity for peripheral H1 receptors. It rapidly relieves symptoms, has additional anti-inflammatory effects, and is well tolerated by most people. Despite this, some adverse effects include fatigue, pharyngitis, dizziness, headaches, and dry mouth. Hypersensitivity reactions induced by cetirizine are infrequent. Here, we are reporting a case of cetirizine-induced anaphylaxis found refractory to steroid therapy.

Published: October 2023

AbstractBackground:The growing occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially those resistant to multiple drugs found in pyogenic infections, presents considerable challenges in effectively managing and curing these infections.Objective:This current research aimed to determine the prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria with multidrug resistance in cases of pyogenic infections treated at a tertiary care hospital located in Haryana, India.Materials and Methods:An observational cross-sectional investigation was conducted over 8 months, from June 2022 to January 2023, at a tertiary care hospital located in Haryana, India. Throughout the study, 376 samples of pus and wound swabs were gathered from patients visiting the outpatient and inpatient departments. Subsequently, specimens that exhibited noteworthy aerobic bacterial growth were identified following established bacterial testing procedures, and their antibiotic susceptibility profiles were determined using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.Results:Out of the total 376 collected pus and wound swab specimens (n= 376), significant aerobic bacterial growth was observed in 116 cases (30.9%), with 113 instances (97.4%) showing monomicrobial growth and the remaining three cases (2.6%) exhibiting polymicrobial growth. Consequently, a sum of 119 bacterial isolates was obtained, with 70 (58.8%) being Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) and 49 (41.2%) being Gram-positive cocci. Among the GNB isolates, 37 (52.9%) were identified as Gram-negative fermenters (belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family), while the remainder were categorized as Gram-negative non-fermenters. The prevalent isolate wasPseudomonas aeruginosa, accounting for 42.9% of the cases,Escherichia coliat 25.7%, andEnterobacterspecies at 7.1%. Of these isolates, 31 (44.3%) were multidrug-resistant, 24 were Gram-negative fermenters, and seven were Gram-negative non-fermenters. Approximately three-quarters of the Enterobacteriaceae isolates showed potential for producing extended-spectrumβ-lactamases, whereas a quarter exhibited potential for producing carbapenemases. Similarly, a quarter of the Gram-negative non-fermenters were identified as potential carbapenemase producers.Conclusion:The present study underscores the prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains within the pathogens, particularly among Enterobacteriaceae isolates responsible for pyogenic infections. Additionally, these findings will play a pivotal role in shaping a community-specific antimicrobial stewardship initiative, which stands as one of the most essential strategies for addressing the challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
