L’acculturation footballistique du club de Bischwiller au tournant de la Grande Guerre (1911-1923)
Authors: Schon Lucas , Saint-Martin Jean 
Published: March 2023

Entre 1911 et 1923, la petite ville de Bischwiller, située à 20 km au nord de Strasbourg, voit s’implanter progressivement des pratiques footballistiques du fait de nombreuses circonstances favorables. Ce processus d’acculturation est rendu possible notamment par l’action permanente des militaires français, véritables passeurs culturels grâce à leur activité footballistique qui représente autant d’opportunités pour renforcer les contacts entre « l’en-groupe » dont ils font partie et les membres du groupe « receveur », la population bischwilleroise. Porté par un comité dynamique et stable, un public énergique, une municipalité consciente des apports du football pour son image et ses habitants, le Football Club de Bischwiller – FCB 07 – voit ses succès se renforcer d’année en année. Ceux-ci sont d’une part sportifs, à travers le titre officieux de 1923 puis le titre officiel de champion d’Alsace en 1925. D’autre part, ces succès se concrétisent lors des nombreuses épopées en coupe de France ou des multiples victoires lors des matchs de « gala ». Le rôle de « l’en-groupe », composé de civils formés et des militaires, semble ici primordial pour inscrire dans le temps un transfert culturel que bon nombre de Bischwillerois souhaitent et dont les Affiches de Bischwiller , qui constitue ici la source principale d’investigation, rendent régulièrement compte. En définitive, deux facteurs expliquent le succès de ce transfert culturel par le biais du FCB 07. Le premier correspond d’une part à la présence et l’activité, sur le territoire bischwillerois, des membres de « l’en-groupe » à la fois composés de civils ayant été en contact d’Anglais ou d’une culture anglophile et footballistique. D’autre part, par le fait que ce sont les militaires qui œuvrent à démocratiser le football à Bischwiller, non seulement durant les quatre années de guerre, mais aussi dès son lendemain. Le second facteur de ce contexte propice à une acculturation footballistique massive est celui de l’espace-temps particulier de la ville de Bischwiller qui, par sa dimension patriotique, festive, industrielle et son attachement aux valeurs de modernité, tourne résolument le dos au modèle traditionnel germanique, imposé du temps de la première annexion et auquel les Bischwillerois ont eu des difficultés à se soumettre.

ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the design of a net-zero single-family house in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which was proposed for the 2022 Solar Decathlon Design Challenge entry. The site was in a 100-year flood zone and registered as a national and local historic district. The interdisciplinary team consisted of University of Tennessee Chattanooga (UTC) students from the interior architecture and engineering departments who embraced the challenges of the local climate and the restrictions of the historic district guidelines. This entry, Moc House, focused on the integration of passive design and active HVAC systems including photovoltaic systems in the process. In responding to recent housing market changes in Chattanooga due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a young professional couple in their 30s who have two children was identified as the target market which guided the space planning. Market analysis, including ROI, was conducted in addition to construction cost calculations. Building materials were selected to enhance the durability and resilience of the house structure. Finally, energy analysis was conducted to check the project’s Home Energy Rating using Ekotrope and found it less than zero.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT

Background and Aims:
Mechanical ventilation is an essential but limited resource worldwide. Appropriate perioperative utilisation of such useful resource demands in time prediction where literature does not have enough data. High C-reactive protein (CRP) and low albumin both represent a state of exaggerated inflammation and poor nutrition, the combination of which might represent the sick surgical patients. Therefore, we tried to evaluate the performance of ratio between preoperative CRP and albumin (CAR) for the prediction of postoperative mechanical ventilation.

Methods:
After approval from the ethics committee and trial registration, the study was carried out over 2 years. It included 580 adults undergoing non-cardiac surgeries under general anaesthesia. Blood samples were collected for estimation of CRP and albumin, and all were followed up for the need of mechanical ventilation in the postoperative period till hospital discharge.

Results:
Sixty-six of the analysed 569 patients (11.6%) required postoperative mechanical ventilation in whom the median CAR was higher {0.38 (0.10, 1.45)} than those who did not require the same {0.20 (0.07, 0.65)}, although not statistically significant. A ROC curve analysis found that there is a 58% chance that a CAR will distinguish between the patients requiring postoperative mechanical ventilation from those who do not (AUC = 0.58), which is statistically significant (P value = 0.024). Logistic regression did not result in a significant odds of mechanical ventilation with higher ratio {Odds ratio = 1.06 (0.98, 1.16)}.

Conclusions:
High CRP–albumin ratio was found to be associated with higher need for mechanical ventilation in patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia, but failed to predict the need for mechanical ventilation.

ABSTRACT

Background and Aims:
Ultrasound-guided central venous (CV) cannulation is the standard of care for inserting CV catheter in the right internal jugular vein (RIJV). However, mechanical complications can still occur. The primary objective of this study was to compare the incidence of posterior vessel wall puncture (PVWP) using conventional needle holding technique with pen holding method of needle holding technique for IJV cannulation. Secondary objectives were comparison of other mechanical complications, access time and ease of the procedure.

Methods:
This prospective, randomised parallel-group study included 90 patients. Patients requiring ultrasound-guided RIJV cannulation under general anaesthesia were randomised into two groups P (n = 45) and C (n = 45). In group C, the RIJV was cannulated using the conventional needle holding technique. In group P, the pen holding method of needle holding technique was used. Incidence of PVWP, complications (arterial puncture, haematoma) number of attempts for successful cannulation, time to insertion of guidewire and performer’s ease were compared. The data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 24.0). A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
In our study, there was no significant difference in incidence of PVWP and complications between the two groups. Number of attempts and time for successful guidewire insertion were comparable. Ease of the procedure was scored a median of 10 in both the groups.

Conclusion:
There was no significant difference in the incidence of PVWP between the two techniques in this study, necessitating further evaluation of this novel technique.

Authors: Kasongo Laura 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The study sought to analyze the impacts of the hospitality and tourism industry on social economic development in democratic republic of Congo (DRC).
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The results show that the greatest perceived socio-economic impacts of the hospitality sector are increased employment, improved living standards, greater tax revenues to State and local governments and growth in local retail sales. The hospitality industry generates substantial direct and indirect revenues for local and regional economies.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social exchange theory and Otus theory may be used to anchor future studies in the tourism sector. The study results will also benefit other stakeholders such as the policy makers as well as researchers and scholars from different parts of the world. The top management of hospitality industries in the country will also use the study findings to improve tourism performance in all their activities and programs. The study recommends that the adoption of effective social protection development policies in the tourism and hospitality sector will help to improve efficiency in their major operations and activities.
Analysis of Anxiety and Depression in the Context of Commercially-Available Energy Beverage Consumption
Authors: Ming Nathan , Cavanaugh Chloe 
Published: March 2023

Energy drinks are common in the diets of teenagers. Despite the increase in consumption in American teenagers, little has been done to study its effects on the anxiety and depressive behaviors of teenagers. 25 participants were selected including a majority of Asians and Caucasians between the ages of 12 to 22. The participants filled out a survey that recorded a baseline for a week, and then drank increasing dosages of energy drinks the following week while continuing to fill out a survey. They filled out a survey that was designed with SIG E CAPS indicators on each day, and the results were compared using a student’s t-test. The results were not statistically significant, but this supports that the caffeine limit set by the Food and Drug Administration does indeed prevent negative effects of caffeine on adolescents. One participant, with a pre-existing psychiatric condition, withdrew from the study after his markers of anxiety were significantly higher in the week that he took the energy drinks. While the study was limited in both scale and dosage, it did fall in alignment with the body of literature that preceded it. To formulate a statistically significant study with results that have a higher confidence level, the dosage of caffeine and the number of participants who consume it would need to be increased. The study, while not being statistically significant, reinforced the pediatric limit of caffeine and opened the door to further studies that involve a higher dosage or more participants.

Authors: Reinberg Maria Alice , Heckscher Benjamin 
Published: March 2023

The presented article examines the ways Soviet propaganda continues to influence ex-Soviets' perception of life 30 years after the collapse of the USSR. This article examines to what extent the opinions and values of ex-Soviets align with ones enforced by Soviet propaganda of a chosen time period: the 1970s. The extent and causations of the success of Soviet propaganda of the 1970s are explored through promotional media analysis and interview conduction.
In the article, a set of beliefs, enforced by propaganda is created through the review of propaganda media of the 1970s. These beliefs are compared with ones held by a group of ex-Soviets. The results of the performed comparison indicate that propaganda continues to influence the worldviews of ex-Soviets. Features of Soviet propaganda of the 1970s that made it effective are discussed.
Trauma and Mental Health Impacts from Indirect Exposure to Stressful Media on Adolescents in the Houston Area
Authors: Kavuri Navya , Gresham John 
Published: March 2023

Past research on trauma has indicated that indirect exposure to violent crises causes post-traumatic stress (PTS) in adults, but no such studies have been conducted on children. Thus, the objective of this study was to explore the question: To what extent does media coverage of traumatic global issues influence the development of complex PTS in adolescents in Greater Houston? The conclusions of this study aim to explore PTS prevention and mitigate long-term physiological consequences of increased cortisol levels. The study utilized a mixed-method approach of a quantitative survey on 49 adolescents from ages twelve to eighteen in the Houston region and was measured through a Likert Scale system of participants’ relatability to presented scenarios. The second part of the method conducted qualitative interviews with a parent and a psychologist to qualify the survey results and provide a scientific perspective respectively. Results were analyzed through thematic analysis of major internal and environmental factors that contribute to child PTS including amount of exposure, Covid-specific circumstances, gender, personality, and previous trauma. The study concludes that children have more media exposure in the Digital Age and are experiencing increased anxiety, causing growing concern of long-term effects on emotional health. Further research will need to be conducted to determine whether media exposure is the primary trigger of stress and how personality plays a role in an individual’s perception of media.
Effect of Taurine on the Proliferation of Leishmania tarentolae Cells in Culture
Authors: Rao Srihas 
Published: March 2023

Taurine (Tu), an amino acid which has antioxidant and wound healing effects, is being used to treat the wounds of individuals infected with Leishmania. Leishmania are parasitic protozoans that cause the leishmaniasis disease. The purpose of this experiment is to determine if taurine can be used to directly reduce the proliferation of Leishmania cells. Treatment of leishmaniasis is getting complicated due to multiple side effects and drug resistance to first-line drugs. The MTT viability assay was used to determine the effect of taurine on Leishmania tarentolae cells in culture. Leishmania cells were incubated with 20µM taurine, 200µM taurine, 500 µM taurine or 200µM Vanadium which is a known inhibitor of acid phosphatase activity. Control cells did not have any additions. Incubations with and without additions were carried out for 48 hours. This study showed the ability to improve cell proliferation, although taurine had no direct anti-leishmaniasis effect. Further studies are needed to determine if higher amounts of taurine are effective for treatment of Leishmania cells.
Evaluation of Wind Energy Potential in Omu Aran, Nigeria Using Weibull and Rayleigh Models
Authors: Komolafe Clement A. , Fadare David , Oladeji Lawrence , Gbadamosi Abiodun 
Published: March 2023

The depletion of resources and emission of hazardous gases have been identified with conventional sources of energy. The negative influence of conventional sources of energy on the environment necessitates the call for the use of renewable and sustainable energy sources, such as wind. Wind power is one of the available renewable energy sources in Nigeria with huge potential that can be tapped in order to contribute to its energy mix. Wind energy utilization in Nigeria is poor because the available data in all six geopolitical political regions for system design have not been fully analysed and implemented. Wind energy projects are liable to failure if proper analysis is not done. Therefore, before any location could be considered suitable or unsuitable for wind power generation, the power density must be determined using the standard approach. This study, therefore evaluated the wind energy potential of Omu Aran, Nigeria using Weibull and Rayleigh models. Five years data collected from the metrological station of the Landmark University on Lat. 8.14 oN; Long. 5.10 oE were processed and analysed in Matlab computer software using a code developed for two statistical modelling methods (Weibull and Rayleigh). The actual mean yearly wind speed of 3.964 m/s for Kwara falls in the low wind speed. Although, the power density for hours of the day, months, and seasonal variation ranged from 24 to 141 W/m2. More than 50% of the power density for daily hours was less than 100 W/m2 which indicated that Omu Aran, Nigeria belongs to class 1. The coefficient of efficiency (COE) for Weibull probability distribution ranged from 39.95 to 94.9 while the coefficient of determination (COD) R2 ranged from 0.66 to 0.98. This range of performance values for the Weibull model, when compared to the Rayleigh model, were within the acceptable limits for prediction accuracy, hence the Weibull probability distribution function can be used for the preliminary design of wind power plants for Kwara State, Nigeria. Therefore, it would help the relevant stakeholders in wind power project investment to make the appropriate decision.

Authors: HOUAGA Rachelle Pélagie , MOUMOUNI Ismail M. , GOUROUBERA Mori W. 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Innovations are necessary for the development of agricultural sector. However, there are questions about their appropriation and sustainability. This article analyzes policies and intervention approaches challenges in promoting local innovation in the cashew sector in Benin.
Methodology: This study combines a literature review on policy and intervention approaches and qualitative information from nine cashew project managers to collect data.
Finding: The results reveal the following three main intervention approaches: (i) Capacity-building approaches, which include training, experience sharing, experimentation and demonstration, (ii) approaches facilitating access to finance and organizational support, and (iii) Business relationship development approaches that focus on relationship building and training. The choice of approaches is generally based on the priorities given to the challenges related to the development of the sector
Unique Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice: However, investment and consideration of weaknesses in the implementation of intervention approaches would contribute to the development of innovation and the sustainability of innovation support services in the agricultural sector.
Multi-event assessment of typhoon-triggered landslide susceptibility in the Philippines
Authors: Jones Joshua N. , Bennett Georgina L. , Abancó Claudia , Matera Mark A. M. , Tan Fibor J. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract. There is a clear need to improve and update landslide susceptibility models across the Philippines. This is challenging, as landslides in this
region are frequently triggered by temporally and spatially disparate typhoon events, and it remains unclear whether such spatially and/or
temporally distinct typhoon events cause similar landslide responses, i.e. whether the landslide susceptibility for one typhoon event is similar
for another. Here, we use logistic regression to develop four landslide susceptibility models based on three typhoon-triggered landslide inventories
for the 2009 Typhoon Parma (local name Typhoon Pepeng), the 2018 Typhoon Mangkhut (local name Typhoon Ompong), and the 2019 Typhoon Kammuri (local
name Typhoon Tisoy). The 2009 and 2018 inventories were mapped across the same 150 km2 region of Itogon in Benguet Province, whilst the
2019 event was mapped across a 490 km2 region of Abuan in Isabela Province. The four susceptibility models produced are for the 2009,
2018, and 2019 inventories separately, as well as for the 2009 and 2018 inventories combined. Using the area under the receiver operator curve (AUROC) validation, the accuracy of the models is found to
be 78 %–82 % for the Itogon models and 65 % for the Abuan model. To assess landslide time dependency, we use the AUROC validation and the
Itogon models to quantify the degree to which susceptibility models derived from one event(s) in time can forecast/hindcast the landslides triggered
by another. We find that using a susceptibility model for a typhoon event in one year to forecast/hindcast a typhoon in another leads to a
6 %–10 % reduction in model accuracy compared to the accuracy obtained when modelling and validating each event separately. This suggests
some degree of time dependency in typhoon-triggered landslides in the Philippines. However, using a susceptibility model for two combined typhoon
events (2018 + 2009) to forecast/hindcast each typhoon event separately led to just a 1 %–3 % reduction in model accuracy. This
suggests that combined multi-event typhoon-triggered landslide susceptibility models will be more accurate and reliable for the forecasting of
future typhoon-triggered landslides. Finally, by undertaking a high-level comparison of the Abuan and Itogon susceptibility models through space, we
preliminarily suggest that there may be spatial dependency in typhoon-triggered landslides in the Philippines but that further work into issues of spatial dependency in this region is required.
