« Ceux qui sont partis d’Omelas ». Littérature et science-fiction dans une formation en génie mécanique et productique
Authors: Collomb Cléo 
Published: September 2023

Cet article présente une séquence pédagogique déployée dans une formation universitaire technologique pro­fes­sion­nalisante (Génie Mécanique et Productique) et articulée autour du texte « Ceux qui partent d’Omelas », d’Ursula K. Le Guin, autrice reconnue pour ses œuvres de fictions spéculatives, incluant la science-fiction. J’y soutiens que la science-fiction, dans ce contexte d’enseignement orienté vers une approche fonctionnelle de la langue, revêt une dimension politique dans la mesure où elle est un opérateur de repartage du sensible particulièrement efficace. La SF en effet, par son caractère minoritaire et son ouverture sur la culture technique, permet d’éviter certains effets de domination symbolique, ce qui la rend particulièrement inclusive vis-à-vis des étudiantes et étudiants en Génie Mécanique et Productique. De plus, dans ce texte, Ursula Le Guin peut être comprise, d’après Le maître ignorant de Rancière, comme une autrice ignorante qui postule une forme d’égalité entre ses lecteurs et elle. Le résultat est que les étudiantes et étudiants ont appris, non pas à développer des compétences communicationnelles, mais à jouir du langage, c’est-à-dire à sortir de la place qui leur est assignée de personnes qui doivent s’insérer professionnellement et qui n’ont pas le temps pour la littérature.
Optimising global landscape evolution models with 10Be
Authors: Ruetenik Gregory A. , Jansen John D. , Val Pedro , Ylä-Mella Lotta 
Published: September 2023

Abstract. By simulating erosion and deposition, landscape evolution models (LEMs)
offer powerful insights into Earth surface processes and dynamics.
Stream-power-based LEMs are often constructed from parameters describing
drainage area (m), slope (n), substrate erodibility (K), hillslope diffusion (D), and a critical drainage area (Ac) that signifies the downslope transition from hillslope diffusion to advective fluvial processes. In spite of the widespread success of such models, the parameter values are highly uncertain mainly because the advection and diffusion equations amalgamate physical processes and material properties that span widely differing spatial and temporal scales. Here, we use a global catalogue of catchment-averaged cosmogenic 10Be-derived denudation rates with the aim to optimise a set of LEMs via a Monte Carlo-based parameter search. We consider three model scenarios: advection-only, diffusion-only, and an advection–diffusion hybrid. In each case, we search for a parameter set that best approximates denudation rates at the global scale, and we directly compare denudation rates from the modelled scenarios with those derived from 10Be data. We find that optimised ranges can be defined for many LEM parameters at the global scale. In the absence of diffusion, n∼1.3, and with increasing diffusivity the optimal n increases linearly to a global maximum of n∼2.3. Meanwhile, we find that the diffusion-only model yields a slightly lower misfit when comparing model outputs with observed erosion rates than the advection-only model and is optimised when the concavity parameter is raised to a power of 2. With these examples, we suggest that our approach provides baseline parameter estimates for large-scale studies spanning long timescales and diverse landscape properties. Moreover, our direct comparison of model-predicted versus observed denudation rates is preferable to methods that rely upon catchment-scale averaging or amalgamation of topographic metrics. We also seek to optimise the K and D parameters in LEMs with respect to precipitation and substrate lithology. Despite the potential bias due to factors such as lithology, these optimised models allow us to effectively control for topography and specifically target the relationship between denudation and precipitation. All models suggest a general increase in exponents with precipitation in line with previous studies. When isolating K under globally optimised models, we observe a positive correlation between K or D and precipitation > 1500 mm yr−1, plus a local maximum at ∼300 mm yr−1, which is compatible with the long-standing hypothesis that semi-arid environments are among the most erodible.
La personalización como estrategia editorial en la cobertura de escándalos políticos: el caso de la monarquía española
Authors: Ortiz-González Azahara , Berganza Rosa 
Published: September 2023

El análisis del uso de la personalización en los contenidos periodísticos de los escándalos de corrupción política es escaso. De ahí el objetivo de la presente investigación: estudiar su uso como estrategia político-editorial de los medios impresos y digitales españoles cuando se trata de cubrir escándalos. El análisis se realiza a partir de la medición de distintas variables ideadas por Just y Crigler (2019) y por Van Aelst et al. (2012) aplicadas a un estudio de caso: los escándalos del rey emérito Juan Carlos I. Para ello, se realiza un análisis de contenido cuantitativo de 334 piezas publicadas por cinco diarios. Los resultados muestran que las responsabilidades se atribuyen principalmente al rey emérito y no a la institución monárquica, aunque las diferencias entre medios son relevantes en función de su línea editorial. elDiario.es y El Español son los que dan mayor cabida a la atribución de responsabilidades a la monarquía.

Published: September 2023

O artigo explicita as relações encontradas entre ensinar, aprender e cognição em trabalhos publicados em cinco edições do ENPEC, que incluem esses termos em seus descritores. Foram localizados 154 trabalhos, analisados com o auxílio dos softwares ALCESTE e Nvivo, coadjuvados pela análise de conteúdo. Entre as características, destaca que a maioria é procedente da região Sudeste, de natureza empírica e têm, nos questionários e nos alunos, respectivamente, os principais instrumentos para a coleta de dados e os sujeitos de pesquisa. O referencial teórico nem sempre é definido de forma clara e aprofundada. O ensino, a aprendizagem e a cognição são expressos em métodos, conteúdos e técnicas didático-pedagógicas, e não nos fundamentos epistemológicos e cognitivos dos quais são decorrentes. Ressalta-se que a complexidade envolvida no ato de ensinar e aprender ciências deveria estar no estudo, na pesquisa e no aprofundamento dos fundamentos pedagógicos, epistemológicos, cognitivos e sociais envolvidos nesses processos
A Techno-Economic Comparison of a Stand-alone Hybrid System for a Household: A Case Study for the Royal Commission in Saudi Arabia
Authors: AMIN MAJDI 
Published: September 2023

The trend is now to use renewable energy sources to improve energy efficiency in the building sector and preserve the environment. The use of sources as renewable off-grid applications for driven applications in home sector (micro-grids) is very interesting nowadays. The economic factor and the cost of establishing these grids is the main obstacle to these investments. One of the key solutions to reduce the cost and increase the reliability of these grids is how to optimally determine the ratings and combination of some renewable sources based on the location of the house. This paper presents an effective techno-economical design of a stand-alone hybrid system. The system contains a photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine, battery, and diesel generator. This design is performed through an extensive examination of the techno-economical design of a standalone system to provide the desired energy load for a typical household building for both Albaha and Buraydah cities in Saudi Arabia. These two cities have different geographical locations as Albaha is located at latitude 20.0217 degrees north while Buraydah is located at 26.3592 degrees north. These two cities were selected due to the difference in their geographical locations to study the effect of the weather on the building performance in terms of cost of energy, energy penetration, and load met. To enhance the performance of the proposed hybrid system, some constraints were selected, such as Net Present Cost (NPC), and Total Annual Cost (TAC). Results demonstrate that stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems can be applied to improve energy efficiency and economics of the existing buildings. Integration of PV system, wind turbine, battery, and diesel generator in the best configuration can provide a minimum cost of energy of about $0.596/kWh and $0.603/kWh for Albaha and Buraydah cities, respectively.

Published: September 2023

Probiotics and their derivatives are becoming increasingly popular in the fight against pathogenic biofilms. This research work explores the use of probiotic bacteria and their potential as antimicrobial agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms and the infections they cause. P. aeruginosa strains were grown on LB (Lysogeny Broth) for 24 hours and characterized using biochemical tests. The biofilm-forming strains were quantified using polystyrene microtiter-plates in a spectrophotometric assay supplemented with M63 minimal media. LAB (Lactobacillus fermentii and Lactococcus lactis) were isolated from fermented maize paste (ogi), Cheese (Waara), Fura and fermented milk (Nunu) on Skim milk agar and were characterized based on colony morphology, cell morphology and biochemical tests. From the isolates, two strains of LAB were selected as probiotics. They were tested for their inhibitory potential against biofilm-forming P. aeruginosa using liquid co-culture assay. The Lactic acid content and Hydrogen Peroxide was estimated by titration for three days. Lactococcus lactis had more stable lactic acid production than Lactobacillus fermentii (2.70 g/L) although both peaked on Day 2 with Lactococcus lactis producing slightly more lactic acid (2.72 g/L). With liquid co-culture assay, there was a 63% decrease observed in the optical density of biofilms.

Perceptions of Preference Signaling in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Survey of Applicants and Program Directors
Authors: Minhas Arjun , Berkay Fehmi , Hudson Tanner , Barry Kenton , Froehle Andrew W. , Krishnamurthy Anil 
Published: September 2023

Introduction:
To improve transparency between candidates and training programs, a preference signaling program (PSP) was implemented before the 2022 to 2023 orthopaedic surgery match. The PSP allows applicants to ‘signal’ up to 30 programs, informing the program of the applicant's particular interest in interviewing for their available position(s). This study reports the perspectives of orthopaedic surgery residency applicants and program directors (PDs) on the effects of preference signaling on the orthopaedic match.

Methods:
Electronic surveys were distributed to PDs and applicants.

Results:
Almost all programs participated in the PSP (90%), and most of the applicants (97.6%) used 25 to 30 of their allotted preference signals. Most of the applicants (67.2%) thought that their likelihood of obtaining an interview was improved at ‘signaled’ programs but decreased at programs without a ‘signal’ designation (85.3%). Both applicants and PDs considered preference signaling to be one of the three most important factors for interview selection, along with Step 2 CK score and letters of recommendation. The applicants did not think that their likelihood of matching would improve with fewer allotted signaling tokens (35.2%), and 55.2% of PDs believed 21 to 30 tokens were optimal.

Conclusion:
Preference signaling is highly regarded by applicants and PDs. Signaling a program will likely improve an applicant's chance to interview. The optimal number of signaling tokens remains unknown, although both groups favored a larger allotment of tokens than has been seen in other specialties. Universal guidelines and recommendations for applicants and PDs would improve the utility of preference signaling.

Published: September 2023

The aim of this scientific paper is to investigate different aspects of insecurity which cause the brain drain in Pakistan, witnessing numerous challenges to the human security for a long time. The research encompasses the period from 2000 to 2021 covering various threats to human protections such as personal, community, economic and political securities in the country. The authors applied process tracing method of qualitative approach under applied research model for examining chains of the events related to absence of human security causing brain drain in Pakistan. The secondary data was used to extensively probe the issues concerning brain drain and its reasons. The study identified the aforementioned characteristics of the human insecurity which exacerbate the brain drain in Pakistan. For example personal security which became under threats due to rising violent extremism and terrorism in the post 2000 era. The community security as a part of human security, also faced threats from the violent extermist and militant organizations. The economic insecurity was aggravated by inequitable socio- economic conditions in the country, which trigger brain drain among unemployed youth. The country’s political system as a part of political security faced instability and insecurity due to conflictual political environment in the country.

Published: September 2023

Lignin reduced the adhesion between the polymeric matrix and natural reinforcement in composite materials by its hydrophobic characteristic. Removal of lignin can be a solution to improve fiber function in composite use. This study aimed to determine the degradation of lignin at different times of pulping. The soda process was conducted at 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 minutes of pulping using heat in a room atmosphere. Yields, lignin content, and lignin spectrum (FT-IR analysis) were measured. The result showed the highest degradation of lignin was in 100 minutes of pulping with 80.34% lignin degradation and 3.57% lignin left in fibers. However, the yield of fibers decreased with increasing pulping time due to lignin removal. 100 minutes of pulping time showed the highest loss of fiber yield. This study showed the best pulping time for kapok fiber is 100 minutes with 3.57 % lignin remaining in the pulp.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome presenting as “a window'' to HIV diagnosis in 48 year old African female: A case report
Authors: Chinyathi Achieve Denhere , Chiweza K B , Kapembwa K C 
Published: September 2023

Background: Ramsay Hunt syndrome in adults is reported in a number of case reports as an uncommon presentation of Varicella - zoster Virus infection. Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when there is reactivation of the latent Varicella - zoster virus present in the ganglia due to previous varicella infection. Following a breakdown of the immune system, latent Varicella - zoster infection can be activated. Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV), causes immunosuppression and hence reactivation of Varicella - zoster. The diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome, gives a window of opportunity to investigate for HIV. Here we report our first case of Ramsay Hunt syndrome as a presenting feature of HIV disease in an apparently healthy looking 48 year old black African female who was unaware of her HIV status at the time of presentation.
This case is reported in order to highlight the need to use Ramsay Hunt syndrome as a window of opportunity to screen for underlying HIV.
Case presentation: A 48 year old black African female who was unaware of her HIV status, presented to our outpatients department with a two day history of painful right ear pain, vesicles on the right pinna and inability to completely close her right eye, her mouth was deviated to the left, with a wrinkle free frown. She denied any alteration in taste sensation and hyperacusis. She had a grade IV House-Brackmann facial paralysis. A diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome was made and an HIV test was offered, the test was positive for HIV. A subsequent Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) work up, revealed Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3B (CKD 3B) and a cluster of differentiation 4(CD4) count of 217 cells/μl .She was started on antiretroviral therapy 2 weeks after completing a 10 day regimen of acyclovir. In addition to her drug treatment she received ocular care and physiotherapy. Four months on her facial nerve function has improved modestly.
Conclusion: An HIV test should be an indispensable part of the Ramsay Hunt syndrome workup, as its diagnosis gives a window of opportunity to diagnose HIV and offer life- saving HAART.

EU-burgers zonder (t)huis. De aanpak van dakloosheid en de staat van EU-burgerschap in Nederland
In de praktijk blijken veel Nederlandse gemeenten EU-burgers als ‘niet-rechthebbenden’ te weren uit de reguliere daklozenopvang. Dit werpt de vraag op welke rechten dak- en thuisloze EU-burgers kunnen ontlenen aan hun status als EU-burger in Nederland. Dit artikel beantwoordt deze vraag door middel van een bespreking van (1) de rechtenopbouw van EU-burgers, (2) hun recht op gelijke behandeling en (3) de bevoegdheidsverdeling tussen de gemeenten en de staatssecretaris van Justitie en Veiligheid. Door in te gaan op de unieke wisselwerking tussen het Europees en Nederlandse bestuursrecht ontstaat tevens een hernieuwd beeld van de huidige staat van EU-burgerschap binnen de Nederlandse verzorgingsstaat.
