Biopolitique de la Naissance : generatio et lex nova chez Maître Eckhart
Authors: Desjardins Pierre-Luc 
Published: July 2023

Le présent article se donne pour fin d’étudier le sens que revêt, chez Maître Eckhart de Hochheim (1260-1328), l’emploi du couple formé par les notions de pouvoir « politique » et de pouvoir « despotique ». Plus précisément, il y est question de replacer cet usage dans le contexte de la conception eckhartienne de la nature et d’y trouver un dédoublement de la notion de sujétion. De fait, pouvoir politique et pouvoir despotique se présentent comme deux manières, pour un agent, d’interagir avec le principe passif qui se soumet naturellement à lui — le pouvoir despotique demeurant extérieur à ce qu’il gouverne, là où le pouvoir politique oeuvre au sein même de ce qu’il gouverne pour se l’assimiler. Une telle contextualisation de la conceptualité « politique » eckhartienne doit faire ressortir la manière dont elle s’inscrit dans une conception plus globale des rapports entre Dieu et la création, entre l’agent suprême et l’être imparfait qui lui est soumis.
Le Discours sur la théologie naturelle des Chinois et la controverse Leibniz/Descartes sur la substance
Authors: Qian Jin 
Published: July 2023

Dans son Discours sur la théologie naturelle des Chinois, Leibniz produit une interprétation du premier principe de la philosophie chinoise. Le présent article s’interroge sur les conditions de cette interprétation en la comparant avec la controverse entre Leibniz et Descartes par rapport à la conception de la substance. Il sera montré que, bien que Leibniz utilise un « principe herméneutique » dans son interprétation de la philosophie chinoise, ce principe n’est pas suffisant mais repose sur des conditions plus fondamentales. La comparaison avec la controverse Leibniz-Descartes sur la substance permet d’identifier deux conditions majeures de l’application de ce principe herméneutique, à savoir la théorie dynamique de la substance et la conception de la théologie naturelle comme fondement de la physique, deux points sur lesquels divergent Leibniz et Descartes.

Published: July 2023

Apprivoiser et penser le mourir par le biais du cinéma, c’est peut-être une des possibilités offertes par ce long métrage d’Emmanuelle Bercot mettant en vedette Benoît Magimel et Catherine Deneuve. Le film De son vivant aborde de manière frontale la question de la fatalité, au travers du récit de vie, et de mort, d’un jeune quadragénaire atteint d’une maladie dont le sombre pronostic ne fait aucun doute. Nous y suivons Benjamin, dans la dernière année de sa vie, alors que ce dernier affronte, l’inéluctable de sa finitude annoncée dans ce délai posé clairement : de six mois à un an. Se faisant, il se trouve plongé, ainsi que ses proches, de manière radicale, au coeur de ses questions existentielles, placé devant une série de choix qui se posent à lui, malgré – ou grâce à – la réalité de sa mort. Les nombreux enjeux éthiques rencontrés tout au long de son parcours sont exposés pour toutes les personnes impliquées : soignants, patient et proches.

Diallel analysis assumes that the genetic interactions contributing to trait variation can be adequately captured by GCA and SCA effects. However, in reality, genetic interactions can be more complex, involving higher-order epistatic interactions, pleiotropy, and other factors that are not accounted for in the traditional diallel analysis, for this purpose, studies were conducted to study the combinatorial ability of wheat varieties widely planted in Uzbekistan.
The mode of inheritance for the 1000- kernel weight, vegetation period, plant height, vitreousity, grain yield, mass of grain in the ear and productive accumulation of 4x4 full diallel crosses of wheat varieties was estimated in F1 generation. The results indicated significant differences between the parents for Generаl Combining Ability and cross for Specific Combining Ability, reciprocal effect for 1000- kernel weight, vegetation period, plant height, vitreousity, grain yield, mass of grain in the ear and productive accumulation. However, analysis of variance of combining capable for grain yield indicated that Generаl Combining Ability and Reciprocal effects were highly importance while Specific Combining Ability. Highly significant Generаl Combining Ability and Specific Combining Ability variances showed the predominance of additive, epistatic and dominant genes in controlling this character.
In the process of hybridization, the application of the original biped gene is important, and for its appearance in the generation, it is necessary to choose a positive line of General Combining Ability. In this way, it will be possible to pre-estimate the characteristics of the future.
A positive and negative heterozygosity for the parent was found for the studied trait, which increased the genetic diversity of the parents.

Applicability of Multispectral Images to Detect Soil Organic Carbon Content in Land Suitability Assessment: A Case of a Sugarcane Plantation
Authors: Yapa L. K. K. , Piyasena N. M. P. M. , Herath H. M. S. K. 
Published: July 2023

Soil organic carbon is important for sugarcane production as it plays a significant role in the development of soil aggregates and soil improvement in any agricultural soil, hence increasing soil health. Increasing soil organic matter encourages soil aggregation and slows the rate of organic matter breakdown. Soil aggregates act as nuclei for soil stabilization with time. It improves soil attributes by increasing organic carbon content in the soil and enhances the physical properties of the soil that favor water infiltration and retention. However, traditional methods of SOC determination like laboratory analyses are expensive and time-consuming. The objective of the study was to assess the applicability of multispectral images to determine SOC content in the surface soil. The research adopted two means to determine SOC of sugarcane. Under the first method, the lands were selected according to the sugarcane productivity in the study area, namely: low (35-54 t ha-1), medium (55-79 t ha-1), and high (80-100 t ha-1) productivity. Soil samples were collected up to 15cm depth. Walkley and Black Method was used for SOC determination in the laboratory. Simultaneously, multispectral images of each land were obtained using a drone platform. Multispectral images were then used to calculate Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Bare Soil Index (BSI), and Modified Secondary Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI2). These indices were used to predict SOC. The outcome was compared with SOC obtained from the laboratory analysis results. The results showed that the soil organic carbon (SOC) varied between 2.72 and 3.63% from the mean for the the highest and lowest productivity lands respectively. The results of regression analysis observed a moderate correlation between SOC and the BSI values (0.4828). Weak correlations were observed in MSAVI2 (0.0269) and NDVI (0.0858). Future research should focus on improving these indices for SOC determination with increasing sample quantity.

Aim: The aim of this investigation was to analyze the physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical characteristics of cotton seeds at three different moisture content levels, ranging from 8% to 14% on a dry basis to develop a power tiller-operated pneumatic planter.
Study Design: Completely Randomized Design and Tukey pairwise test in done on the SAS On Demand for Academic platform was used for the study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering (FMPE), Department of Agricultural Processing and Food Engineering (APFE) and Department of Agricultural Structures Civil and Environmental Engineering (ASCEE), College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (CAET), Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), between July 2022 and August 2022.
Methodology: This study was conducted to determine the engineering properties of cotton seeds namely BS–279, RCH–659 and KCHH–2739 as a function of moisture content. The different properties of these cotton seeds were studied in the engineering property laboratory and UTM laboratory of the CAET, OUAT, Bhubaneswar. The objective of this study was to investigate some moisture-dependent physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical properties of cotton seeds. The aim of this investigation was to analyze the physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical characteristics of cotton seeds at three different moisture content levels, ranging from 8% to 14% on a dry basis. These moisture content levels were referred to as M1 (8-10%), M2 (10-12%), and M3 (12-14%).
Results: The geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, thousand seed weight, angle of repose and terminal velocity were found to be in the range of 5.05–6.57 mm, 60–67%, 0.51–0.59,78.70–103.67 g, 39.75–44.75˚ and 9.26–13.28 ms-1 respectively as moisture content of seed increased from 8 to 14% dry basis. The mean diameter, volume, porosity, terminal velocity and coefficient of friction showed a positive correlation with the moisture content. The bulk density, true density and porosity of seed decreased from initial range of 637.82–696.12 to 524.12–607.60 kgm-3, 1155.00–1266.12 to 868.28–1007.60 kgm-3 and 43.23–44.96 to 39.75–41.55% respectively with an increase in moisture content. Rupture force was found to be negatively correlated with moisture content and loading rate.
Conclusion: The effect of moisture content on all dependent parameters was found to be significant (α=0.05) under Tukey pair wise test but these were non-significant for the varieties of cotton seeds considered under the study. These engineering properties can be considered while designing of planters and other sowing machinery, harvesters, ginning, and oil extraction machines of cotton seed.

The Bartholin glands are paired glands that are typically non-palpable whose function is to secrete fluid onto the mucosal surface of the labia. Disorders with the Bartholin’s glands include cysts and abscesses. Bartholin’s cyst rarely grows so large as to be confused with the fetal head at crowning. What we are familiar with is either the gynaecological emergency of Bartholin’s abscess or the day case cyst of the gland which is considered a registrar's operation list, both of which are best treated by marsupialization.
We came across this unusual presentation of giant Bartholin cyst in a private specialist clinic setting. Our intention is not to create an avenue for lighter mood, but to add to numerous issues with inimical nature of diseases, poverty and ignorance (triad of health problems)peculiar to Sub-Sahara Africa.
The widow in discussion who is burdened with care of her family alone, ought to have been partnered with holistically. She had a sexual partner. The sexual partner, the nuclear family members and the society has their roles to play so that she won’t be viewed as a neglected widow. Clinicians should be aware of this entity, although it can be rare.

ImportanceThe potential association of low-volume paracentesis of less than 5 L with complications in patients with ascites remains unclear, and individuals with cirrhosis and refractory ascites (RA) treated with devices like Alfapump or tunneled-intraperitoneal catheters perform daily low-volume drainage without albumin substitution. Studies indicate marked differences regarding the daily drainage volume between patients; however, it is currently unknown if this alters the clinical course.ObjectiveTo determine whether the incidence of complications, such as hyponatremia or acute kidney injury (AKI), is associated with the daily drainage volume in patients with devices.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective cohort study of patients with liver cirrhosis, RA, and a contraindication for a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt who received either device implantation or standard of care (SOC; ie, repeated large-volume paracentesis with albumin infusion), and were hospitalized between 2012 and 2020 were included. Data were analyzed from April to October 2022.InterventionsDaily ascites volume removed.Main outcomes and MeasuresThe primary end points were 90-day incidence of hyponatremia and AKI. Propensity score matching was performed to match and compare patients with devices and higher or lower drainage volumes to those who received SOC.ResultsOverall, 250 patients with RA receiving either device implantation (179 [72%] patients; 125 [70%] male; 54 [30%] female; mean [SD] age, 59 [11] years) or SOC (71 [28%] patients; 41 [67%] male; 20 [33%] female; mean [SD] age, 54 [8]) were included in this study. A cutoff of 1.5 L/d or more was identified to estimate hyponatremia and AKI in the included patients with devices. Drainage of 1.5 L/d or more was associated with hyponatremia and AKI, even after adjusting for various confounders (hazard ratio [HR], 2.17 [95% CI, 1.24-3.78]; P = .006; HR, 1.43 [95% CI, 1.01-2.16]; P = .04, respectively). Moreover, patients with taps of 1.5 L/d or more and less than 1.5 L/d were matched with patients receiving SOC. Those with taps of 1.5 L/d or more had a higher risk of hyponatremia and AKI compared with those receiving SOC (HR, 1.67 [95% CI, 1.06-2.68]; P = .02 and HR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.04-2.18]; P = .03), while patients with drainage of less than 1.5 L/d did not show an increased rate of complications compared with those receiving SOC.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, clinical complications in patients with RA performing low-volume drainage without albumin infusion were associated with the daily volume drained. Based on this analysis, physicians should be cautious in patients performing drainage of 1.5 L/d or more without albumin infusion.

Authors: Wang Zhihua , Tang Ze , Park Ju H. , Feng Jianwen 
Published: July 2023

SummaryIn this article, the global and exponential synchronization of Lur'e networks with hybrid time‐varying delays is investigated. For sake of saving control costs, a novel impulsive adaptive controller is presented, where the adaptive feedback control input is utilized to compensate the control effects of the impulsive signal. Meanwhile, suitable control gains are obtained according to the designing on adaptive updating laws. In view of the definition of average impulsive interval, the generalized comparison principle and the formula of parameter variation, sufficient conditions for achieving global and exponential synchronization of Lur'e dynamical networks are eventually derived. Two relevant numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of theoretical analysis and the control scheme.

Published: July 2023

AbstractSingle molecule techniques are particularly well suited for investigating the processes of protein folding and chaperone assistance. However, current assays provide only a limited perspective on the various ways in which the cellular environment can influence the folding pathway of a protein. In this study, a single molecule mechanical interrogation assay is developed and used to monitor protein unfolding and refolding within a cytosolic solution. This allows to test the cumulative topological effect of the cytoplasmic interactome on the folding process. The results reveal a stabilization against forced unfolding for partial folds, which are attributed to the protective effect of the cytoplasmic environment against unfolding and aggregation. This research opens the possibility of conducting single molecule molecular folding experiments in quasi‐biological environments.

Published: July 2023

AbstractFilms of the quasi‐2D perovskite based on 1‐naphthylmethylamine (NMA) are promising as the gain medium for optically pumped lasing and future electrically pumped lasing because of its low lasing threshold and small electroluminescence efficiency rolloff. However, reasons for the low threshold and small efficiency rolloff are still unclear. Therefore, exciton dynamics are investigated in NMA‐based quasi‐2D perovskite films. It is found that quenching of bright excitons by other excitons or charge carriers is unlikely in NMA‐based quasi‐2D perovskite films, which is one reason for the low lasing threshold and small efficiency rolloff. Moreover, thermally stimulated current measurements reveal that the defect levels inside the band gap of the NMA‐based quasi‐2D perovskite are shallow, with a depth of ≈0.3 eV, causing a decrease in nonradiative exciton recombination through the defects. Therefore, population inversion can be easily achieved, leading to the low lasing threshold as well. For fabrication of NMA‐based quasi‐2D perovskite laser devices with even lower lasing thresholds, a circular‐shaped optical resonator, and small‐molecule‐based defect passivation are used. Optically pumped lasing can be obtained from these devices, with a threshold of ≈1 µJ cm−2, which is one of the lowest values ever reported in any perovskite lasers.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe application of lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) is immensely impeded by notorious shuttle effect, sluggish redox kinetics, and irregular Li2S deposition, which result in large polarization and rapid capacity decay. To obtain the LSBs with high energy density and fast reaction kinetics, herein, a heterostructure composed by nitrogen‐deficient graphitic carbon nitride (ND‐g‐C3N4) and MgNCN is fabricated via a magnesiothermic denitriding technology. Lithophilic C3N4 with abundant nitrogen‐deficient acts as a conductive framework, together with the sulfiphilic MgNCN, lithium‐polysulfides (LiPSs) can be effectively captured followed by a regulated Li2S nucleation. Furthermore, the oxidation conversion kinetics can be accelerated as well. As expected, the LSBs with catalytic MgNCN/ND‐g‐C3N4 as the interlayer exhibit remarkable electrochemical performance with a discharge capacity of 650 mAh g−1 at 4 C. Meanwhile, a low capacity decay of 0.008% per cycle can be reached at 1 C after 400 cycles. Even with a high areal sulfur loading of 5.1 mg cm−2, outstanding capacity retention can be achieved at 0.5 C (64.18%) and 1 C (90.46%). The presented strategy unlocks a new way for the LSBs design with highly efficient catalyst.

AbstractCorrelated 2D layers, like 1T‐phases of TaS2, TaSe2, and NbSe2, exhibit rich tunability through varying interlayer couplings, which promotes the understanding of electron correlation in the 2D limit. However, the coupling mechanism is, so far, poorly understood and is tentatively ascribed to interactions among the orbitals of Ta or Nb atoms. Here, it is theoretically shown that the interlayer hybridization and localization strength of interfacial Se pz orbitals, rather than Nb orbitals, govern the variation of electron‐correlated properties upon interlayer sliding or twisting in correlated magnetic 1T‐NbSe2 bilayers. Each of the layers is in a star‐of‐David (SOD) charge‐density‐wave phase. Geometric and electronic structures and magnetic properties of 28 different stacking configurations are examined and analyzed using density‐functional‐theory calculations. It is found that the SOD contains a localized region, in which interlayer Se pz hybridization plays a paramount role in varying the energy levels of the two Hubbard bands. These variations lead to three electronic transitions among four insulating states, which demonstrate the effectiveness of interlayer interactions to modulate correlated magnetic properties in a prototypical correlated magnetic insulator.
