Re-enchanting urban play-parks
Authors: Ahonen Kalle Samuli 
Published: September 2023

In the secular, rationalistic worldview, ancient ideas of magic and enchantment are seen as primitive illusions. Banishing magic and mystery from the cultural tradition leads to the disenchantment of the world. It can be argued further that the world's disenchantment ultimately manifests as disengagement, boredom, apathy and depression. The concept of re-enchantment suggests a countermove to the process of disenchantment. What are the practical methods of re-enchantment?In 2018, I worked as a community artist in Helsinki City Play-parks. In my work, I conducted a series of art projects with children that focused on imagination and material play. The artistic process is not confined by the borders of the rational mind but advances through imaginative and intuitive insight. Working artistically with images, sounds, and movements opens us to the creative life forces. Communal art allows us to become the active creators of our collective environment and may lead to the re-enchantment of our lives.If the dominance of the rigidly rational mind is the cause of disenchantment, re-enchantment must find new ways of acting beyond the rational. The origin of the word enchantment suggests a casting of a magical spell through chanting. From the perspective of deep psychology, the spellbinding effect of enchantment can be seen as an unconscious projection of mental or emotional energy to a person, object or idea.My research draws upon the work on imagination done by Carl Gustav Jung and Gaston Bachelard. Jung developed the idea of the archetypes that are expressed in the images of the collective unconscious. Bachelard's work on material imagination reveals how poetic and artistic imagery rises from our relationship to different states of matter. The paper shows how the activation of the imaginative unconscious can lead to a re-enchanted view of ourselves and the world around us.
Condition moderne et renversements du temps
Authors: Labrusse Rémi 
Published: September 2023

Dès la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l’histoire de l’art et l’archéologie ont été des champs privilégiés au sein desquels deux rapports au temps se sont affrontés : celui, objectif et spatialisé, de la « période » ou de l’« époque », capsules appelées à ordonner dans leurs limites comptables le flot des choses matérielles qu’on y range et auxquelles on demande, ce faisant, de conférer une substance à cette temporalité abstraite ; et celui, subjectif et incernable, d’une présence sensible des œuvres outre-temps, trouée vécue à travers les classifications chronologiques, par laquelle s’est largement définie l’expérience esthétique. La tension entre une valorisation exacerbée de cette expérience et, à l’inverse, une historicisation totale du réel peut être considérée comme le foyer central de la condition moderne. Cette attirance simultanée pour deux temporalités irréconciliables ouvre sur un abîme : par sa puissance de déstabilisation, elle induit un rapport critique à soi et suscite, pour le manifester, l’invention de lieux, de pratiques, de discours spécifiques, articulés à l’expérience esthétique, auxquels la conscience collective a accordé une importance symbolique majeure. Au premier rang de ces structures de sens figurent le musée et le site archéologique. Ces matérialisations spatiales du temps se sont installées en position dominante dans les représentations collectives au XIXe siècle, moins en tant que vecteurs d’élucidation de la nuit du temps qu’en tant qu’espaces critiques d’affrontement entre temporalités contradictoires. Là, en effet, le temps spatialisé simultanément s’institutionnalise et se défait : au-delà des discours savants qui tendent à la circonscrire, une expérience fondamentale de déchirement se déploie, entre représentations mélancoliques du passé et intuitions de l’immémorial. Les jeux de l’anachronisme, explicitement mis en œuvre ou obscurément désirés, opèrent entre ces pôles et les font parvenir à la conscience de soi. Deux exemples serviront à le montrer : dans la sphère du musée, celui de la period room, ou pièce d’époque ; dans le cadre archéologique, celui de la préhistoire humaine avec, en son cœur, la grotte ornée. Plus que d’exemples parmi d’autres, à vrai dire, il s’agit de points d’incandescence – aussitôt perçus et débattus comme tels – où se trouvent exaltées les contradictions essentielles de notre rapport moderne au temps.
The Landscape of Prehistory: Mesa Verde and the Framing of the Past in American Archaeology
Authors: Johnston Matthew N. 
Published: September 2023

This paper is part of a larger project investigating how American archaeological work in the Southwest gradually elides ongoing acts of displacing native and Mexican peoples in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War. Some of the earliest American encounters with ruins and abandoned settlements belonging to Ancestral Puebloan civilizations occurred in the context of demarcating the new boundary between Mexico and the United States. For example, John Russell Bartlett’s Personal Narrative of the U.S.-Mexican Boundary Survey (1854) is noteworthy for the way such ruins are a major focus within it. However, Bartlett actively associates these ancient ruins with processes of forced removal that he can see happening right in front of him, which result in another, more recent kind of ruin. Over time, though, the recognition of a complex and often violent history of relocation that both shapes and continues into the present drops out of later archaeological work in the region. From the perspective of anachronism, this general change in how Southwest archaeology relates past and present involves superimposing a wished-for present, specifically one devoid of native inhabitants, onto the past ruin to the extent that that ruin is understood to be devoid of any relevance for contemporary indigenous peoples living in the region. Put another way, numerous critics of nineteenth-century European and American archaeological practice have pointed out how it “produces archaeological subjects by splitting contemporary non-European peoples off from their precolonial, and even their colonial past. To revive indigenous history and culture as archaeology is to revive them as dead” (Mary Louis Pratt, Imperial Eyes, 1992). This paper extends this critique further by exploring how such an operation is essentially a special form of anachronism and how it arises out of archaeological practices that, at least initially, are not.In particular, this paper tracks how this change in archaeological practice depends on a notion of prehistoric time which is developed by privileging certain kinds of archaeological evidence (especially pottery and architectural remains) and certain ways of presenting and interpreting that evidence, looking at the history of excavations at Mesa Verde at the turn of the century. Key texts include Gustaf Nordenskiöld’s Cliff Dwellers of the Mesa Verde (1893), and Jesse Walter Fewkes’s Antiquities of the Mesa Verde National Park (1909 & 1911). In reinforcing the perception of Mesa Verde as a historically-disconnected, prehistoric site, Fewkes’s report differs from its forerunner in several aspects, specifically its consolidation of distinct structures (namely, how many there are and which are noteworthy), its shift from an analytical to a descriptive mode of writing, and finally its cultivation of a photographic aesthetic that bolsters the sense of a timeless ruin.
Déconstruction et redéfinition du ‘clandestin’ dans Il ladro di merendine et L’altro capo del filo d’Andrea Camilleri
Authors: Mazzariol Hélène 
Published: September 2023

Andrea Camilleri disait regretter que ses romans suscitent plus de divertissement que de réflexion dans l’esprit de ses lecteurs. Son œuvre est en effet militante, porteuse d’idées d’extrême gauche. Dans ses récits, l’auteur opère un travail de déconstruction des schémas et des définitions traditionnels et propose de lire le réel selon d’autres prismes. Ainsi, dans ses deux romans intitulés Il ladro di merendine et L’altro capo del filo, Camilleri déconstruit et redéfinit le concept de ‘clandestinité’, tant au moyen de l’inventio que par le truchement d’objets symboliques. La frontière se déplace : elle ne sépare plus le licite de l’illicite mais l’intime du visible.
Un clandestin espagnol en Espagne : le personnage du morisque Ricote dans le Don Quichotte de Miguel de Cervantès (1615)
Authors: Ansquer Marine 
Published: September 2023

1492 est une année clé pour l’Espagne : c’est celle de la fin de la Reconquista, avec la prise de Grenade, de l’expulsion des Juifs de la Péninsule, et du premier voyage de Christophe Colomb en Amérique. Tout au long du siècle suivant, l’Espagne fait face à une multitude de reconfigurations et cherche à se définir, avant tout, comme un royaume chrétien ; après la minorité juive, l’autre grande minorité religieuse du pays, celle des musulmans, doit alors choisir entre la conversion ou l’exil. A l’orée du XVIIe siècle, cependant, c'est un processus encore inédit qui se met en route : la monarchie décide d’expulser du territoire espagnol tous les morisques, c’est-à-dire les descendants des derniers musulmans du royaume grenadin qui se sont convertis au Christianisme de manière plus ou moins volontaire selon les cas et les régions. La mesure fait polémique : ce sont des Espagnols chrétiens que l’on prétend bannir. Selon des estimations récentes, ce sont 275 000 morisques qui prennent alors le chemin de l’exil. Pourtant, de ceux-là, beaucoup vont revenir en Espagne, malgré les décrets d’interdiction et les risques de sanctions : ils sont obligés de se cacher, de se faire discrets, et ils deviennent ainsi des clandestins dans leur propre patrie. Le phénomène des retours clandestins des morisques est amplement documenté par la critique ; nous en avons aussi des témoignages significatifs dans les textes législatifs de l’époque, ainsi que dans des œuvres littéraires. L’un des romanciers les plus connus de cette période, Miguel de Cervantès, s’empare de ce problème d’actualité dans la seconde partie, très attendue par le public, de son Don Quichotte. Au chapitre 54, en effet, l’un des personnages principaux, Sancho Panza, rencontre sur la route aragonaise un ancien voisin, Ricote, un morisque qui a dû quitter l’Espagne et qui est revenu clandestinement, à la recherche d’un trésor qu’il a laissé enterré et de sa famille. Ce travail cherchera tout d’abord à approfondir la figure de Ricote (de quelles façons les stigmates de l’exil et de la clandestinité se révèlent-ils en lui ? Comment, et à partir de quels éléments, son identité diffractée se reconfigure-t-elle ?), mais aussi à déterminer les enjeux de la mise en scène de la clandestinité par Cervantès, dans cette oeuvre de grande diffusion et de grand succès public : est-elle en mesure de proposer une autre vision de l’altérité morisque ? En quoi le personnage de Ricote se singularise-t-il par rapport à ses homologues littéraires, et qu’apporte cette vision du clandestin à la problématique morisque ? Enfin, dans quelle mesure cet épisode, qui fait de la question de la clandestinité sa pierre de touche, se constitue-t-il, paradoxalement, en une matrice au sein de laquelle se cristallise une nouvelle conception de la fiction, celle qui fera son chemin, après le Don Quichotte, sous la forme du roman moderne ?
Le Carnet de Marie Laurencin. Une écriture rose pâle
Authors: Borghino Elisa 
Published: September 2023

Dans ce travail nous entendons montrer que Marie Laurencin est à la fois le peintre connu par le grand public pour la grâce et l'élégance de ses tableaux et l'auteur d'un journal, Le Carnet des Nuits, un important témoignage de son époque : c'est dans ce Carnet qu'elle raconte sa jeunesse et les années du Bateau-Lavoir avec la même délicatesse utilisée dans sa peinture. Marie Laurencin nous a également laissé d'intéressants poèmes, dont certains sont cités dans la bibliographie de Flora Groult. Nous proposons alors d'analyser quelques textes de Marie Laurencin et d'étudier les relations qu'elle a instaurées avec certains représentants des avant-gardes historiques du début du XXe siècle : à partir de l'analyse entre sa peinture et son écriture poétique, nous souhaitons proposer une nouvelle approche de son travail de créatrice.
A Contrastive Analysis of Disagreement Speech act Used by Native Speakers of English and Iraqi EFL Learners in light of Politeness Strategies
Authors: Al Jaid Zeinab , Ghazanfari Mohammad 
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Effective communication often involves expressing disagreement while maintaining social harmony, which is influenced by cultural and linguistic norms. Native speakers of English typically employ various politeness strategies in their disagreement speech acts. However, Iraqi EFL learners may navigate these strategies differently due to variations in cultural norms and language proficiency. Therefore, the current study aimed to contrastively analyze the way Iraqi EFL learners and native English speakers perform the speech act of disagreement in light of politeness. Methodology: In this regard, a discourse completion test (DCT) was administered to 66 participants, comprising 33 Iraqi EFL students studying English as a foreign language (TEFL) and 33 native English speakers. The DCT was made up of scenarios that mirrored real-life circumstances in order to provoke responses from people who disagreed with them. Brown and Levinson’s (1987) theory of politeness was employed to analyze participants’ utterances. Results: The findings indicated that while expressing disagreement with people of higher, participants in both groups were more concerned with keeping their interlocutors’ positive faces. Furthermore, the study findings indicated that despite differences in the two groups of participants, Iraqi EFL learners utilized positive indirect politeness strategies more frequently than English native speakers. On the other hand, English native speakers applied direct and negative politeness strategies. Conclusion: Generally, the findings indicated that both groups tended to use the most direct type of disagreement as the social distance and power relation decreased.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Introduction
Obesity is commonly associated with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia and is the most important risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Visfatin is an adipokine that exerts insulin-mimetic effects that stimulate muscle and adipocyte glucose transport and inhibit hepatocyte glucose production.

Purpose
The aim of this study was to assess levels of visfatin and its relationship to obesity and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Patients and methods
This study included 40 patients with type 2 diabetes as the patient group: 20 of them were obese (BMI ≥ 30) and 20 were not (BMI < 25). Forty apparently healthy individuals matched for age and sex were included as the control group: 20 of them were obese (BMI ≥ 30) and the other 20 were not (BMI < 25). All patients and controls underwent history taking, physical examination including determination of BMI, and the following laboratory investigations: determination of levels of fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, serum cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting insulin, and fasting visfatin; kidney and liver function tests and calculation of homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were also performed. Neither the patients nor controls suffered from any chronic disease other than diabetes.

Results
The results of this study revealed a highly significant increase in the fasting serum insulin level, HOMA-IR, and fasting serum visfatin level among diabetic patients (26.10 ± 6.04μIU/ml, 12.18 ± 5.24, 36.70 ± 6.86 ng/ml, respectively) when compared with controls (12.10 ± 3.45μIU/ml, 2.42 ± 0.79, 13.63 ± 3.98 ng/ml, respectively; P < 0.01). Fasting insulin levels, HOMA-IR, and visfatin levels were significantly higher in obese diabetic patients (31.13 ± 4.34μIU/ml, 14.71 ± 6.22, 42.36 ± 4.11 ng/ml, respectively) than in obese controls (14.31±3.11mIU/ml, 2.89±0.77, 16.72 ± 3.16 ng/ml, respectively; P < 0.01). Visfatin levels were higher in nonobese diabetic patients than in nonobese controls. Moreover, visfatin levels were higher in obese diabetic patients (31.04 ± 3.49 ng/ml) than in nonobese diabetic patients (10.54 ± 1.53 ng/ml; P < 0.01). The present study revealed a highly significant positive correlation between levels of visfatin and fasting insulin in both obese and nonobese diabetic patients. Although there was a significant positive correlation between visfatin levels and HOMA-IR, there was no significant correlation between visfatin levels and BMI in obese diabetic patients.

Conclusion
Visfatin levels are increased in patients with type 2 diabetes regardless the degree of adiposity.
Comorbidities associated with Egyptian diabetic foot disease subtypes
Authors: Rizk Mary N. , Ameen Ashraf I. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Introduction
Diabetic foot problems are highly prevalent, responsible for almost 50% of all diabetes-related hospital admissions and a 10-year reduction in life expectancy. The main factors involved in the pathology of diabetic foot are neuropathy, ischemia, and infection. The comorbidities of diabetes are hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Because of the huge premature morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes, prevention of complications is a key issue and, therefore, it is essential to understand the basic mechanisms that lead to tissue damage.

Aim of the work
The aim of our study was to detect the association between patient comorbidities, chronic complications, and different diabetic foot types for the early detection and management of these conditions.

Patients
We carried out a cross-sectional study of 80 consecutive outpatient Egyptian patients with diabetic foot disease in the National Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology.

Results
Sixty-three percent were purely neuropathic, followed by 19% that were neuroischemic, whereas 18% were of the ischemic type. Hypertension is the most common comorbid condition and coronary artery disease is highly prevalent in the ischemic and neuroischemic types. The coexistence of hypercholesterolemia, smoking, diabetes, and male sex appears to significantly increase the incidence of ischemic diabetic foot. Nephropathy and retinopathy are significantly associated with neuropathic foot ulcers. Hypertriglyceridemia correlates positively to ischemic and neuroischemic ulcers whereas low HDL and proteinuria correlate positively to both neuropathic and neuroischemic ulcers.

Conclusion
Special attention should be paid toward the identification of patients who are at risk of foot ulceration to help prevent foot problems. Comorbid conditions must also be identified early and managed aggressively.
Study of recurrent antrochoanal polyps: causes and how to minimize recurrence
Authors: Saafan Magdy Eisa , Tomoum Mohamed Osama 
Published: September 2023

EnAbstractObjectivesTo conduct a prospective study investigating the causes of repeated recurrences of antrochoanal polyps (ACPs) in an attempt to minimize recurrence.Materials and methodsTwenty-two patients, with an established diagnosis of a recurrent ACP, were included in the study. A subjective visual analogue scale, endoscopic examination, and computed tomography, both coronal and axial, were performed preoperatively.Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed in all cases, combined with transcanine antrostomy in some cases, aiming at the complete removal of the polyp.Postoperatively, improvements in clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings were evaluated using visual analogue scale and endoscopic examination.ResultsThe study included 22 patients with recurrence of an ACP one to five times (a total of 38 previous surgeries). The endoscopic transnasal approach was used in 14 cases, whereas a combined endoscopic transcanine approach was used in eight cases. The success rate was 85.7% in the endoscopic transnasal approach and 100% in the combined endoscopic transcanine approach. All patients showed a subjective improvement after surgery but endoscopic recurrence was detected only in two cases after 18–24 months of follow-up.ConclusionThe main cause of recurrence of ACPs is incomplete removal. Every effort should be made to completely remove the polyp (especially antral part) to avoid recurrence. Endoscopically, this can be performed using 30–45 and 70π telescopes, angled forceps, and performing a very wide middle meatal antrostomy and may be assisted with a canine fossa puncture. The operation preserves healthy antral mucosa and promotes epithelization and mucociliary clearance of the antrum.
Endoscopic management of a pediatric nasoethmoidal mucocele with intraorbital extension

Published: September 2023

EnAbstract
Objective
To evaluate the transnasal endoscopic marsupialization of a pediatric nasoethmoidal mucocele with intraorbital extension in terms of technique, difficulty, and surgical outcome.

Design
Prospective study.

Patients and methods
Seven patients presented with a mucocele with intraorbital extension; they ranged in age from 8 to 14 years (average 11 years), and were treated using the transnasal endoscopic approach from March 2008 to March 2010. All patients underwent transnasal endoscopic marsupialization and were monitored clinically, radiologically, and endoscopically for a mean follow-up period of 15.3 months.

Results
Postoperative nasal examination showed no findings with improved orbital manifestations in all cases. Also, nasal congestion, obstruction, and postnasal discharge disappeared completely. Postoperative computed tomography evaluation indicated a significant improvement on comparison with the preoperative computed tomography score. No major complications were found in the study.

Conclusion
Transnasal endoscopic marsupialization of a pediatric mucocele with intraorbital extension is a safe technique and can be carried out successfully. Combined intensive medical treatment with surgery is important in a mucocele with an orbital manifestation. Nevertheless, this technique requires good experience with the relevant anatomy in a pediatric age group.
