Dans le cadre de la réévaluation du Laborien, ensemble chronoculturel daté autour de 12 500-11 000 cal BP et calé stratigraphiquement entre l’Azilien récent et le Mésolithique sauveterrien, l’étude interdisciplinaire menée sur le site de plein air de Port-de-Penne est l’occasion de soulever des questions autour des variations socio-économiques et fonctionnelles des sites durant cette période. Vingt-cinq ans après les travaux menés sur le terrain et un premier réexamen du matériel pour la séance SPF de Bordeaux en 2012 (Langlais, Naudinot, Peresani, org.), une nouvelle équipe s’est réunie afin de croiser l’approche «pétro-techno-typo-fonctionnelle » des restes lithiques avec l’étude archéozoologique des restes de faune, d’industrie osseuse et de quelques coquillages. Les archives et les enregistrements de terrain ont permis de réaliser des projections sur un plan vertical – précisant ainsi l’archéoséquence – et sur un plan horizontal pour appréhender l’organisation spatiale des vestiges. Ce travail a permis de souligner la succession de deux unités archéostratigraphiques (ou UA) présentant une homogénéité culturelle, notamment dans la structuration de l’espace domestique (autour d’un foyer bilobé et de structures secondaires). Les datations radiocarbone appuient l’hypothèse d’une attribution au Laborien ancien des deux UA, livrant par ailleurs des morphotypes identiques de pointes à dos (type Malaurie), et une identité technique sur les productions laminaires. Du point de vue pétroarchéologique, l’UA ancienne indique un comportement pionnier avec une importation massive de silicites allochtones (Charentes, ouest du Périgord) tandis que l’UA récente se distingue par un resserrement de l’approvisionnement sur des matériaux régionaux (vallées du Lot et de la Dordogne). Les données techno-économiques des équipements lithiques croisées aux analyses des vestiges fauniques illustrent une parenté des occupants successifs tout en soulignant des variations fines (part d’armatures impactées, taux de recyclage des couteaux en outils d’extrémité, activités principales et secondaires…). Confrontées au modèle classique d’opposition «résidentiel vs logistique » des sites, les données obtenues sur Port-de-Penne permettent de relativiser ce débat en montrant une imbrication et des variations dans les comportements socio-
économiques mais également dans la temporalité des occupations.

Published: February 2023

Meropenem (MER) antibiotic is removed from an aqueous solution using Mg-Al-layered double hydroxide (Mg/Al-LDHs) which serves to functionalize the principal object of enquiry in this paper–sunflower husks (SFH). The former sample demonstrated a 51% removal of MER while the latter demonstrated a 67% removal of MER. One of the areas explored was the impact of the rise calcination temperatures resulted in a concurrent increase in the surface area and porosity of LDHs which, in turn, provoked a heightened removal efficacy of MER at calcination temperatures between 300 °C and 350 °C. Nonetheless, LDHs experienced structural deformation and thus, diminished removal efficacy of MER when the calcination temperature was over 350 °C. The ideal adsorption conditions were determined via the undertaking of multiple batch studies. Adsorption process was implemented successfully with removal efficiency of 98% under optimal conditions. The adsorption of MER was found to be regulated by the chemisorption mechanism of the best suited second order kinetic model. The adsorption process seemed to be heterogeneous and on a multi-layer as suggested by the high determination coefficient with Freundlich model. Enhanced functional and structural properties were witnessed in this novel adsorbent’s adsorption capacity, thereby highlighting its proficiency as an alternative.

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can improve plant development and protect plants from diseases and abiotic stresses. Plant-bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere are important factors in soil fertility and plant health. Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria include the cyanobacteria of the genera Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Azorhizobium, Allorhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Mesorhizobium. Therefore, to investigate the effect of co-inoculation of Bradyrhizobium and phosphate solubilizing microbes (PSM) on groundnut crop under field conditions using normal soil, divided into eight different study groups i.e., control (T1), Bradyrhizobium isolate -1 (T2), Bradyrhizobium isolate -2 (T3), Bradyrhizobium isolate -3(T4), Phosphate solubilizing microbe (PSM) (T5), T2 + PSM (T6), T3 + PSM (T7), T4 + PSM (T8). The results showed maximum groundnut pod yield (2428 kg ha-1) was obtained in treatment where inoculation with bacterial isolate-2 applied as compared to control. In case of plant height and shoot dry biomass, maximum response was observed in T7 (59.4 cm, 4733 kg ha-1) as compared to control i.e., 40.5 cm, 3156.7 kg ha-1 respectively. It was concluded that this technique might be useful and applicable to cut down the high input cost of phosphate fertilizers for the production of other crops also
An Anomalous Cosmic-Ray Mediated Termination Shock: Implications for Energetic Neutral Atoms

Abstract
The Voyager 2 crossing of the termination shock indicated that most of the upstream energy from the thermal solar wind ions was transferred to pickup ions (PUIs) and other energetic particles downstream of the shock. We use hybrid simulations at the termination shock for the Voyager 2, flank, and tail directions to evaluate the distributions of different ion species downstream of the shock over the energy range of 0.52–55 keV. Here, we extend the work of Gkioulidou et al., which showed an energy-dependent discrepancy between modeled and energetic neutral atom (ENA) observations, and fit distributions to a hybrid model to show that a population of PUIs accelerated via diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) to become low-energy anomalous cosmic rays (ACRs) can bridge the gap between modeled and observed ENA fluxes. Our results with the inclusion of DSA via hybrid fitting give entirely new and novel evidence that DSA at the termination shock is likely to be an important physical process. These ACRs carry a significant fraction of the energy density at the termination shock (22%, 13%, and 19% in the Voyager 2, flank, and tail directions, respectively). Using these ACRs in global ENA modeling of the heliosphere from 0.52 to 55 keV, we find that scaling factors as large as 1.8–2.5 are no longer required to match ENA observations at energies of ∼1–4 keV. Large discrepancies between modeled and observed ENAs only remain over energies of 4–20 keV, indicating that there may be a further acceleration mechanism in the heliosheath at these energies.

La politique de coopération au développement de l’Union européenne avec les pays ACP
Authors: Mainguy Claire , Kern Francis 
Published: February 2023

L’aide publique au développement de l’Union européenne (UE) dans son ensemble constitue environ la moitié de celle des pays membres de l’OCDE. Sa politique de coopération au développement comporte aussi un volet commercial qui a considérablement évolué entre la première convention de Lomé (1975) et l’accord post-Cotonou signé en 2021. Cette évolution de la politique commerciale de l’UE ainsi que celle du financement de son action extérieure au travers de la mise en place de l’instrument européen pour le voisinage, le développement et la coopération internationale, tendent à montrer une uniformisation de l’aide européenne.

Population et développement : la contribution au débat de la revue Mondes en développement (1973-2022)
Authors: Requier-Desjardins Denis 
Published: February 2023

L’article s’intéresse à l’ensemble des articles de la revue, depuis sa création en 1973, qui abordent la question des liens entre la démographie et les trajectoires de développement. Leur prise en compte est le reflet de l’évolution de la problématique générale de la relation entre démographie et développement : on est passé d’un accent mis sur l’impact de la croissance démographique dans les contributions de la fin du XX e siècle, à une prise en compte dans les deux dernières décennies, de l’effet de la transition démographique sur la structure par âge de la population et de son impact éventuel sur le rythme de croissance économique et de développement. Parallèlement, un thème comme celui des migrations est présent dans les sommaires de la revue tant à la fin du XX e siècle que plus récemment. Classification JEL : J11, J13, J14, J16, J18, J61, O11
Quels enjeux des éducations environnementales et de développement durable entre transition écologique, urgence climatique et Anthropocène ?
Authors: Barthes Angela 
Published: February 2023

Les éducations environnementales et de développement suivent les grands enjeux de l’actualité. Aujourd’hui devant l’incertitude, entre transitions écologiques, économies vertes ou circulaires, Anthropocène ou urgences climatiques, plusieurs voies éducatives de nature différente se profilent. On assiste à une remise en cause du modèle cumulatif des savoirs et à une politisation de l’éducation. Divers modèles d’approches par enjeux se développent, qui tendent à s’organiser en deux temps : (1) penser les changements et (2) mener des actions. Cela incite à poser la question : quelle éducation voulons-nous ? Pour quelles finalités et quelles actions ? Qu’est-ce qui relie ou différencie les courants éducatifs actuels concernant les questions environnementales et de développement ?
Disposal of spectacles and contact lenses: Optometrist and lens wearer perspectives
Authors: Pillay Rayishnee , Hansraj Rekha , Rampersad Nishanee 
Published: February 2023

Background: The increase in global waste generation has adverse impacts on the environment. Significant volumes of waste are generated in the lifecycle of spectacles, contact lenses (CLs) and associated products, and there is a lack of published data on their disposal practices.Aim: To determine optometrists’ recommendations to their patients, and lens wearers’ practices regarding the disposal of ophthalmic lenses and associated lens products.Setting: Optometrists and lens wearers in South Africa.Methods: Surveys were distributed via online platforms to optometrists and lens wearers and paper copies of the surveys were also available. Data from both surveys were analysed using IBM SPSS version 24.Results: Responses from 353 optometrists and 603 lens wearers were analysed. Optometrists were highly likely to recommend that patients should discard their old spectacle lenses (24%), and used CLs into wastewater systems (10%), or make no recommendations on either, respectively, (16%, 12%). Lens wearers were highly likely to retain their old spectacles upon new purchase (57%) and dispose used CLs into wastewater systems (37%). Less than 20% of optometrists and lens wearers were highly likely to recommend and engage in recycling of associated ophthalmic products.Conclusion: The disposal of CLs into wastewater systems, which contributes to microplastic pollution, must be highlighted and avoided. Optometrists should incorporate disposal instructions with all products sold to patients and promote recycling. Lens wearers should also be mindful of the environmental impact of their disposal practices.Contribution: This study provides previously unknown data on ophthalmic lens disposal practices in South Africa, and emphasises the need for environmental awareness.
By Scripture and Plain Reason: A historical retrieval of the relationship between faith and reason to better engage with present-day secularism
Authors: Maritz Daniël J. 
Published: February 2023

The formal principle of the Reformation, sola Scriptura, has sometimes been thought to imply that the Reformed minister and church member need not concern themselves with the use of reason and philosophy in matters of faith and theology. This misconstrued understanding of sola Scriptura led to a low regard for reason in matters of faith among Reformed folk. A low regard for reason, in turn, gave anti-intellectualism and fideism a foothold in local Reformed churches and left secularism and its progressive ideas unchallenged as it infiltrated the minds of Reformed church members, especially at churches in bigger cities and close to universities. This phenomenon can be addressed by establishing apologetics training platforms at local Reformed churches where church members can be trained to better defend the truth against secularism. To establish apologetics on a local church level, however, one must first retrieve the correct role of reason in matters of faith. This article accordingly embarked on an historical retrieval within the broad Reformed tradition. Different Reformers and subsequent Reformed theologians were examined to retrieve the proper relationship between faith and reason. This was accompanied by a focus on other relevant themes such as the concept of common notions and the three acts of the intellect. Through an historical retrieval, this article consulted the primary sources of figures in the Reformed tradition spanning from the early 1500s to the early 1700s. Additionally, modern interpreters of these figures have also been introduced for their insights. It became evident that reason plays a ministerial role in matters of faith. Moreover, the concept of common notions establishes a grounding for the undeniable role of reason in dialogues with secularism. By introducing the three acts of the intellect, the discussion also moved on to function as a critique of mainstream secularism, as it pertains to its disordered approach to reality in the form of expressive individualism. Although this article is the first of two in a series, it nevertheless accomplished its own end to emphasise the need for apologetics on a local church level and to retrieve the role of reason in matters of faith.Contribution: As a historical retrieval within the Reformed tradition, this article fits perfectly within the scope of In the Skriflig. It reminds the Reformed minister of the rich heritage within the Reformed tradition regarding the relationship between faith and reason, and brings it to bear on the challenge of secularism.
The Study of Postoperative Recall in Patients under Total Intravenous Anesthesia
Authors: Parate Leena Harshad , Kaur Navdeep , Iyer Sadasivan S , Geetha C. R. 
Published: February 2023

Background:
The incidence of postoperative recall under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is not yet fully established. Avoidance of inhalational agent is a known risk factor for awareness. In addition, lack of reliable technique to monitor drug concentration needed for adequate depth of anesthesia makes TIVA challenging. Hence, we intend to evaluate our standard anesthesia practice for postoperative recall.

Methodology:
This questionnaire-based observational study was done over the period of 2 years. We enrolled 1080 adult (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Class I or II) patients undergoing TIVA for Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). All patients received fentanyl, midazolam and propofol-based anesthesia. Manual boluses of propofol were given to achieve adequate sedation. (Ramsay sedation scale of 5) in accordance with clinical signs as judged by the primary anesthesiologist. Postoperatively within 12–24 h, patients were assessed for recall using Brice questionnaire. Primary outcome was number of patients reporting postoperative recall in the Brice interview. Secondary outcome was the incidence of dreaming.

Results:
On postoperative interview, none of the patients reported awareness. 12.5% of patients had dreams which were pleasant. None of the dreams was unpleasant. The worst thing about surgery was pain.

Conclusion:
Our study suggests that if adequate doses of propofol are adhered to and necessary action is taken against responses indicating wakefulness, postoperative recall under TIVA is an uncommon occurrence.
Comparison between Dexmedetomidine and Clonidine as an Adjuvant to Ropivacaine in Ultrasound-Guided Adductor Canal Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Total Knee Replacement
Authors: Krishnamurthy Bharath Kumar , Aparna Bathalapalli , Chikkegowda Sangeetha , Kumar K. S. Lokesh 
Published: February 2023

Background:
Total knee replacement (TKR) surgeries are associated with significant postoperative pain. Ultrasound-guided adductor canal block is associated with better pain scores. The addition of Clonidine and Dexmedetomidine as additives to local anesthetics was the recent focus of interest. However, there are minimal studies comparing the duration of analgesia as additives to Ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided adductor canal block for TKRs.

Materials and Methods:
Prospective, randomized, double-blind design was followed. One hundred and two American Society of Anesthesiologists I to III patients undergoing unilateral TKR surgeries were included in the study and randomized into two groups. Group C received Clonidine 150 mcg and Group D received Dexmedetomidine 100 mcg as an add on to 30 mL of 0.2% ropivacaine for adductor canal block. Postoperatively, duration of analgesia, sedation score, rescue analgesic requirement, hemodynamics, and any other adverse effects were monitored.

Results:
The total duration of analgesia in Group D (16.01 h [standard deviation [S. D]-0.5]) was significantly higher as compared to Group C (13.02 h [S. D-0.5]) (P < 0.0001). The numerical rating score (NRS) was significantly lower in Group D compared to Group C (P < 0.05) at multiple postoperative timelines. Group D (2.25(S. D-0.44)) had better sedation scores as compared to Group C (2 [S. D-0]) (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:
Dexmedetomidine has longer duration, lower pain, and better sedation scores as compared to clonidine in adductor canal blocks for postoperative pain relief in TKR surgeries.
The Outcome of Ultrathin-Strut Biodegradable Polymer-Coated Sirolimus-Eluting Stents in Coronary Artery Disease Patients – A Feasibility Study
Authors: Panduranga Prashanth , Mohammed Azzam 
Published: February 2023

Background:
Drug-eluting coronary stents with ultrathin struts and biodegradable polymers have been shown to reduce inflammation, neointimal proliferation, and thrombus formation, leading to less early and late complications in patients with coronary artery disease as compared to thinner strut and durable polymer second-generation stents. In Oman, currently, second-generation stents are used for all patients.

Objective:
The purpose of this feasibility study was to evaluate the clinical safety and performance of ultrathin-strut (60 μm) biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stents in an all-comers patient population.

Methods:
This was a prospective, observational, single-center, and single-arm investigator-initiated study from August 2018 to August 2019. Inclusion criteria: 18 years of age, patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease indicated for percutaneous coronary intervention, and stenting of at least one coronary lesion. All patients were followed clinically or telephonically at 12 months after the index procedure.

Results:
A total of 88 patients were recruited in the study, but 10 patients were lost to follow-up and hence excluded from the analysis. The overall mean age was 63 ± 13 years and 78% were males. The main comorbid conditions were hypertension (58%), diabetes mellitus (49%), and hyperlipidemia (26%). Fifty-three percent presented with unstable angina or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI), 10% with ST elevation MI, recent MI 16%, 18% with stable angina, and 1.3% in cardiogenic shock. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction of the cohort was 46 ± 14%. Angiographically, Type A lesions were seen in 25%, Type B in 32%, and Type C in 42%. Left anterior descending stenting was done in 44%, right coronary artery in 32%, left circumflex artery in 14%, left main in 5%, and graft stenting in 4%. Device success was 96%. Procedural success was seen in 97% of patients. At 1-year follow-up, 93% were asymptomatic; overall device-oriented clinical events were 6.8% including cardiac death in 2.7%, target-vessel MI in 2.7%, and target-lesion revascularization in 1.3% which all occurred in uncontrolled diabetic patients.

Conclusions:
At index admission and 1 year, ultrathin-strut biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent study showed low device-related adverse clinical events which are comparable to published data for the second-generation stents. This feasibility study shows that these stents can be used in all types of stent-indicated patients with added advantages of biodegradable polymer and ultrathin struts. In addition, measures to prevent, diagnose, and control diabetes need to be taken in Oman as this cohort of patients develop ST after stenting.
