Decadent and Anti-Decadent Colonial Networks of the Belle Époque: Littérature coloniale as a Rhetorical Alliance
Authors: Kapor Vladimir 
Published: January 2023

This chapter contends that the expression littérature coloniale française did not designate a unified literary movement or tendency when it first appeared near the end of the Belle époque. Rather, focussing on the criticism and programmatic writings produced by two literary networks, ‘Les Français d’Asie’ (1909-1914) and La Grande France (1900-1903), I argue that this watchword should be viewed as the ensign of a rhetorical alliance between proponents of decadent and anti-decadent aesthetics and discourses, also divided along geographical and generational lines. Colonialist tropes of societal renaissance and national regeneration through overseas expansion, borrowed from the turn-of-the-century political arena, afford a rallying point and a respectable social purpose to a range of diverse and sometimes opposed literary aesthetics, uniting the contrasting representations of French-governed Asia and Africa under the banner of littérature coloniale.
Identifying Diffuse Spatial Structures in High-energy Photon Lists
Authors: Fan Minjie , Wang Jue , Kashyap Vinay L. , Lee Thomas C. M. , van Dyk David A. , Zezas Andreas 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Data from high-energy observations are usually obtained as lists of photon events. A common analysis task for such data is to identify whether diffuse emission exists, and to estimate its surface brightness, even in the presence of point sources that may be superposed. We have developed a novel nonparametric event list segmentation algorithm to divide up the field of view into distinct emission components. We use photon location data directly, without binning them into an image. We first construct a graph from the Voronoi tessellation of the observed photon locations and then grow segments using a new adaptation of seeded region growing that we call Seeded Region Growing on Graph, after which the overall method is named SRGonG. Starting with a set of seed locations, this results in an oversegmented data set, which SRGonG then coalesces using a greedy algorithm where adjacent segments are merged to minimize a model comparison statistic; we use the Bayesian Information Criterion. Using SRGonG we are able to identify point-like and diffuse extended sources in the data with equal facility. We validate SRGonG using simulations, demonstrating that it is capable of discerning irregularly shaped low-surface-brightness emission structures as well as point-like sources with strengths comparable to that seen in typical X-ray data. We demonstrate SRGonG’s use on the Chandra data of the Antennae galaxies and show that it segments the complex structures appropriately.
Chromospheric Heating by Acoustic Waves Compared to Radiative Cooling. II. Revised Grid of Models
Authors: Abbasvand Vahid , Sobotka Michal , Heinzel Petr , Švanda Michal , Jurčák Jan , del Moro Dario , Berrilli Francesco 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Acoustic and magnetoacoustic waves are considered to be possible agents of chromospheric heating. We present a comparison of deposited acoustic energy flux with total integrated radiative losses in the middle chromosphere of the quiet Sun and a weak plage. The comparison is based on a consistent set of high-resolution observations acquired by the Interferometric Bidimensional Spectrometer instrument in the Ca ii 854.2 nm line. The deposited acoustic-flux energy is derived from Doppler velocities observed in the line core and a set of 1737 non-local thermodynamic equilibrium 1D hydrostatic semi-empirical models, which also provide the radiative losses. The models are obtained by scaling the temperature and column mass of five initial models by Vernazza et al. (1981; VAL) B–F to get the best fit of synthetic to observed profiles. We find that the deposited acoustic-flux energy in the quiet-Sun chromosphere balances 30%–50% of the energy released by radiation. In the plage, it contributes by 50%–60% in locations with vertical magnetic field and 70%–90% in regions where the magnetic field is inclined more than 50° to the solar surface normal.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Camera 3 multiband imagery of N103B, which is the remnant of a SN Ia in the Large Magellanic Cloud, as well as HST/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) ultraviolet spectroscopy of the brightest radiatively shocked region. The images show a wide range of morphology and relative emission-line intensities, from smooth Balmer-line dominated collisionless shocks that are due to the primary blast wave to clumpy radiative shock filaments that are due to secondary shocks in density enhancements. The COS data show strong FUV line emissions, despite a moderately high extinction along this line of sight. We use the COS data with previous optical spectra to constrain the shock conditions, we refine the abundance analysis, and we find abundances that are typical of the local interstellar medium within the uncertainties. Under an assumption that the material being shocked was shed from the pre-supernova system, this finding places constraints on any significant enrichment in that material, and thus on the non-degenerate star in what was presumably a single-degenerate SN Ia.
Possible Discrimination of Black Hole Origins from the Lensing Rate of DECIGO and B-DECIGO Sources
Authors: Liu Bin , Li Zhengxiang , Zhao Shaoxin , Zhou Huan , Gao He 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we forecast the expected detection rates and redshift distributions of gravitationally lensed gravitational waves (GWs) from three different mass distributions of primordial black holes (PBHs) and two stellar formation models of astrophysical black holes (ABHs) in the context of the DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO) and its smaller-scale version B-DECIGO. It suggests that DECIGO will be able to detect 104–105 GW signals from such binary black holes each year and the event rate distributions for PBHs will differ from those for ABHs due to their different merger rate with respect to redshift. The large number of event rates makes 5–70 detections of lensed GW signals possible. After considering the gravitational lensing effect, the difference between the detection rates and distributions for PBHs and ABHs will be more significant. Therefore, this can be served as a complementary method to distinguish PBHs from ABHs.
Ghost in the Shell: Evidence for Past Active Galactic Nucleus Activities in NGC 5195 from a Newly Discovered Large-scale Ionized Structure
Authors: Xu 许 Xiaoyu 啸宇 , Wang Junfeng 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The early-type galaxy NGC 5195 (alternatively known as M51b) possesses extended gas features detected in the multiwavelength, postulated to be associated with previous activities of the central supermassive black hole. Using integral field spectroscopic observations from the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope/SITELLE, we report on the discovery of a new large-scale ionized gas structure traced by [O iii], [N ii], and Hα line emission, extending to ∼10 kpc from the nucleus of NGC 5195. Its bipolar morphology, emission-line ratio diagnostics, and comparison with the X-ray image from Chandra and low-frequency radio data from LOFAR all indicate that it is likely an outflow inflated by a past episode of elevated active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity. Assuming the ionized gas is outflowing from the central region of NGC 5195, the estimated mass and energy outflow rates are

–7.9 × 1040 erg s−1, respectively, which cannot be provided by current star formation and the low-luminosity nucleus. Alternatively, considering the history of gravitational interaction between the M51 pair and the presence of the H i tidal tail, the northern large-scale ionized gas could very likely be associated with tidally stripped material illuminated by a luminous AGN in the past.
Evaluation of diaphragmatic omental hernias by radiology
Authors: Çankal Fatih , Demir Berin T. , Köksal Ali 
Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:
This study aimed to describe the radiological features of omental hernias originating from the diaphragm and their localization on the diaphragm, examine their relationship with the thoracic and abdominal organs, and present guiding data to clinicians in operational planning.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This study was obtained as a result of retrospective scanning of the images of 824 patients aged 18–65 who applied for thorax and/or upper abdomen computerized tomography (CT). The patients’ thorax and upper abdomen regions were examined in detail and divided into two groups of individuals with and without hernias. Hernia types, content, localization, and effect types of patients with hernia were recorded and analyzed separately.

RESULTS:
Diaphragmatic hernia was detected in 197 (23.9%) of 824 patients. While 50.8% of these patients were female, 49.2% were male. Of the patients diagnosed with diaphragmatic hernia, 49.2% (n = 97) had Morgagni hernia, 30.5% (n = 60) had Bochdalek hernia, and 17.8% had hiatal hernia. While Morgagni hernia had anterior localization in 82.5%, Bochdalek hernia was generally localized on the left side (75.8%), and hiatal hernias were sliding type with a rate of 84.2%. The highest effect was observed in Bochdalek hernias (71.1%). Omental tissue (59.4%) was observed most frequently in Morgagni hernias, while stomach content (91.9%) was found to be the highest in hiatal hernias (P < 0.05).

DISCUSSION–CONCLUSION:
Diaphragmatic omental hernias are rare. The rarity, as well as the uncertain and nonspecific presentations, contributes to the retard in diagnosis. Commonly, the presentation in the adult age group is that of recurrent chest infection and rarely with gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis. Physicians caring for these patients should be aware of this, and a high index of suspicion is recommended to obviate delay in diagnosis with its associated morbidity. We think the radiological features of diaphragmatic hernias should be detailed in determining and applying the optimal treatment approach. In addition, contrary to what was thought, we found that the prevalence of diaphragmatic hernia in our population is higher than that reported in the literature.
Management of an inguinal mixed Littré hernia and incidental cryptorchidism
Authors: Gamboa Miño Sofía N. , Zeledón Manuel E. , Solari Aníbal J. , Alcántara Gustavo H. 
Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Littré hernia is defined as the presence of a Meckel’s diverticulum in any hernia sac. The case of an adult with Littré hernia associated with a cryptorchidic testicle in the inguinal canal has not been previously reported. Treatment of this rare case is controversial on many fronts. This report highlights the management of a case with an inguinal mixed Littré hernia and incidental cryptorchidism.

CASE PRESENTATION:
A 32-year-old male patient with an incarcerated right inguinal hernia presented to the emergency department. An incarcerated mixed Littré hernia was discovered associated with a cryptorchidic testicle. A Lichtenstein hernioplasty and an orchidopexy were performed without resection of Meckel’s diverticulum.

DISCUSSION:
There is currently no consensus on the treatment of a Littré hernia nor incidental cryptorchidism in an adult patient. Controversies arise on whether to perform diverticulectomy or not and the type of hernia repair. This case had the added unique feature of an undiagnosed cryptorchidic testicle in an adult, a pathology that also prolongs controversies on whether it is necessary to resect.

CONCLUSION:
Treatment of a Littré hernia, Meckel’s diverticulum, and cryptorchidism in adult patients continues to be a challenge. Given the lack of guidelines that establish appropriate treatment, it must be decided on a case by case basis; however, a conservative approach seems to be safe.

Published: January 2023

Background:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory condition attributed to a complex interaction between imbalances in the gut microbiome, environmental conditions, and a deregulated immune response. The aim of the study was to investigate the composition of the gut microbiome of Saudi patients with IBD.

Methods:
After obtaining an informed consent, fecal samples were collected from 11 participants with IBD (patients) and 10 healthy individuals (controls). The bacterial components of the microbial population were identified by next-generation sequencing of partial 16S rRNA. Statistically significant dissimilarities were observed between samples for all metrics.

Results:
The key finding was three negative bacterial biomarkers, Paraprevotellaceae, the Muribaculaceae families of Bacteroidetes phylum, and the Leuconostocaceae family of Firmicutes phylum, which had a higher relative abundance in healthy individuals compared to IBD patients. It was also found that primary microbiota signatures at certain genera and species levels, including Prevotella copri, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Ruminococcus callidus, Coprococcus sp., Ruminococcus gnavus, Dorea formicigenerans, Leuconostoc, Dialister, Catenibacterium, Eubacterium biforme, and Lactobacillus mucosae, were absent in almost all IBD patients, while Veillonella dispar was absent in all healthy individuals.

Conclusions:
The results of this study provide an overview of the variations in microbiota diversity present in Saudi IBD patients compared to healthy controls.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT.
Clinical classification of advanced schistosomiasis japonica is important for treatment options and prognosis prediction. Network analysis was used to solve the problem of complexity and co-occurrence complications in classification of advanced schistosomiasis. A total of 4,125 retrospective patients were enrolled and divided randomly into a training cohort (n = 2,888) and a validation cohort (n = 1,237). Network analysis was used to cluster the isolated complications of advanced schistosomiasis. The accuracy of the network was evaluated. Nomograms based on the clustered complications were built to predict 1- to 5-year survival rates in advanced schistosomiasis. The predictive performance of the nomogram was also evaluated and validated. Fifteen isolated complications were identified: metabolic syndromes, minimal hepatic encephalopathy, hepatic encephalopathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, right heart failure, gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, gastrointestinal ulcer bleeding, splenomegaly, fibrosis, chronic kidney disease, ascites, colorectal polyp, and colorectal cancer. Through network analysis, three major clustered complications were achieved—namely, schistosomal abnormal metabolic syndromes (related to chronic metabolic abnormalities), schistosomal abnormal hemodynamics syndromes (related to severe portal hypertension and portosystemic shunting), and schistosomal inflammatory granulomatous syndromes (related to granulomatous inflammation). The nomograms showed a good performance in prognosis prediction of advanced schistosomiasis. The novel classification-based nomogram was useful in predicting the survival rate in advanced schistosomiasis japonica.

KESETARAAN GENDER DALAM PERSPEKTIF MEDIA IKLAN
Authors: Zarra Zarra Audina Vika Melatie , Muhammad Rashda bintang muhammad 
Published: January 2023

Iklan pada hakikatnya merupakan pesan yang disampaikan oleh komunikator ke khalayak untuk mengenalkan produk barang dan jasa. Iklan bersifat memengaruhi seseorang agar tertarik untuk menggunakan produk tersebut. Namun, kebanyakan iklan dalam menyampaikan pesan belum berperspektif gender. Padahal iklan dengan visualisasinya dapat memengaruhi khalayak. Kenyataannya, peran wanita serta laki-laki selalu membuat laki-laki merasa lebih tinggi kedudukannya dari wanita seringkali akan menjadi 'hidup' dalam periklanan. Padahal jika dilihat dari hak asasi manusia tidak ada perbedaan yang mendasar dalam peran wanita dan laki-laki di media. Visualisasi iklan yang demikian lebih memperkuat sistem patriarki yang selama ini sudah ada dalam masyarakat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perempuan di tayangan iklan televisi belum mendorong kesetaraan gender. Perempuan masih menjadi objek dalam media yang ditampilkan dari sisi seksualitas dan daya tarik fisik bukan potensi intelektualitas yang dimiliki.

Charming and Praying: the Soft Power in the Lithuanian Charms
Authors: Vaitkevičienė Daiva 
Published: January 2023

For a long time, folklore researchers from various countries struggled to determine if charms and prayers belonged to the same folklore genre, or two different ones. In Lithuania, this question used to be discussed in somewhat smaller extent, mainly concentrating on the comparison between charms and prayers addressed to the deities of the ancient Lithuanian religion (Žemyna, Gabija, the New Moon, etc.). The goal of this article is clarifying the features that enable establishing affinity between charms and prayers to gods, and what this says regarding the interconnection between these genres. Having discussed the problematic terminology in the 20th century Lithuanian folklore research, the author goes on to analyze the charms that are characterized by direct addressee and peculiar form of communication akin to prayers, namely employing the soft power, i. e. the action strategy based on mutual agreement. Such kind of charms in the article are defined as soft.
According to the author’s research, soft charms display numerous features characteristic to the prayers addressed to gods; in terms of communication, such common components as direct address, exaltation, formulaic invitations and offerings, and requests for help can be discerned. Although some of these features are less pronounced in charms than in prayers, it still seems obvious that the soft charms and prayers constitute the same corpus of texts. Distinction between these genres could perhaps be sought only on the performative level, i. e. by analyzing the way and circumstances of uttering charms and prayers.
Mythical Notion of the Children’s Diseases and Their Liminal Expression in the Traditional Lithuanian Worldview
Authors: Džekčioriūtė-Medeišienė Vita 
Published: January 2023

Children’s diseases in the Lithuanian folk medicine have not been coherently investigated so far. This article focuses on the mythical notion of the children’s diseases in the traditional Lithuanian worldview. The study embraces the period from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. The author of the article scrutinizes folklore and ethnographic data that gives evidence of the folk medicine practices reflecting the mythical view of the human body and its ailments.
The main supporting axis of the study rests on the boundaries and their symbolic expression. In folk medicine, when establishing notion of the diseases and various healing practices, boundaries can be drawn in various ways: as the body boundaries, as the boundaries of the surrounding spaces, time boundaries or those introduced by the liminal states and rites of passage. The manifestation of these boundaries in terms of the children’s diseases is exhibited in the article by exemplifying three children’s ailments typical to the folk medicine: bristles, whooping cough, and moonlight. Analysis of their etiology, symptoms and healing methods proves that in case of bristles, the liminal expressions employ the body boundaries (i. e. skin) and those related to the rites of passage (i. e. pregnancy); whereas in case of whooping cough and moonlight, the liminal expressions of time, space and body boundaries are relevant. Bristles tend to be envisaged as a disease without a personified shape, while whooping cough and moonlight are pictured as some mythical beings that can be addressed and mislead.
