Abstract
We present the fourth Open Gravitational-wave Catalog (4-OGC) of binary neutron star (BNS), binary black hole (BBH), and neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers. The catalog includes observations from 2015 to 2020 covering the first through third observing runs (O1, O2, O3a, and O3b) of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. The updated catalog includes seven BBH mergers that were not previously reported with high significance during O3b for a total of 94 observations: 90 BBHs, 2 NSBHs, and 2 BNSs. The most confident new detection, GW200318_191337, has component masses

Quelle aide à mourir pour ceux qui la demandent ?
Authors: Aubry Régis , Sarthou-Lajus Nathalie , Euvé François 
Published: March 2023

Le dernier avis du Comité consultatif national d’éthique (CCNE) s’interroge sur une évolution de la loi actuelle sur la fin de vie. Il recommande un développement préalable de l’accès aux soins palliatifs et plus largement la diffusion d’une culture palliative pour accompagner les personnes en situation de vulnérabilité, du fait de leur santé. Mais il suggère la possibilité d’une évolution législative autorisant en fin de vie l’assistance au suicide qu’il distingue de l’euthanasie. Huit membres ont émis une réserve sur cette évolution législative. Dans quelle mesure est-il possible d’envisager une application éthique de l’aide active à mourir ? Qu’est-ce qui distingue le suicide assisté de l’euthanasie ? Quels sont les retours sur ces pratiques dans d’autres pays ?
Marie de la Trinité et les « grands désordres » de la Filiation
Authors: Arènes Jacques 
Published: March 2023

Paule de Mulatier (1903-1980), dont le nom de religion fut ensuite « Marie de la Trinité », eut une trajectoire tourmentée, en proie à des épisodes dépressifs, ce qui l’amena à suivre une analyse auprès de Jacques Lacan (1901-1981). Les carnets spirituels de la religieuse dominicaine sont particulièrement intéressants car ils sondent notamment la dynamique de la filiation, au croisement de sa dimension spirituelle et humaine. Ils éclairent les difficultés et les ambiguïtés du vœu d’obéissance dans la vie religieuse, les abus d’autorité auxquels il peut donner lieu et, d’une manière plus générale, la signification profonde et possiblement libératrice de la filiation spirituelle dans un monde en proie à de grands désordres généalogiques.
Les deux formes de méditation
Authors: Larroque Michel 
Published: March 2023

Le terme « méditation » est imprécis car il connote des expériences différentes. Nous avons cherché, dans un souci de clarté, à inventorier et classer les divers types de méditation. Les méditations peuvent se répartir en deux catégories : les méditations d’autohypnose et la méditation de pleine conscience. Les premières cherchent à reproduire, dans un contexte individuel, le schéma de l’hypnose caractérisée par la passivité du sujet hypnotisé. Les méditations d’autohypnose exigent donc le lâcher-prise et ses corollaires : mise en veilleuse de la conscience, abolition de la volonté et de l’esprit critique, répétition machinale d’une formule ou d’une séquence sonore. La conscience, au contraire, comme Maine de Biran l’a montré, est toujours le fruit d’un effort. Elle inaugure la réflexion et clive la personne. La méditation de pleine conscience s’oppose donc point par point aux méditations d’autohypnose. Cette opposition est, peut-être, l’indice révélateur d’une polarité du psychisme. Les méditations d’autohypnose pourraient constituer des retours à la vie animale, inconscient normal et de constitution, sous-jacent à la vie humaine selon Maine de Biran ; les méditations de pleine conscience exercent au contraire des aptitudes plus récentes et participent à leur restauration lorsqu’elles ont été endommagées par la maladie. Ces deux méditations se complètent. En outre, à la lumière des neurosciences, elles autorisent, toutes les deux, l’espoir de modifier le cerveau dans le sens d’un progrès.

Published: March 2023

La Covid-19 est venue bouleverser notre quotidien et les territoires ont dû s’adapter en conséquence pour faire face aux effets de cette pandémie. Le présent article s’intéresse aux réponses politiques locales apportées par les villes et les départements dans l’Union Européenne pour faire face aux effets socioéconomiques du confinement. À partir d’une étude qualitative fondée sur 34 études de cas, nous analysons quels types de réponses ont été apportés et dans quelle mesure ils peuvent être expliqués par les caractéristiques des territoires. Nous mettons en évidence que l’ampleur de la mortalité liée à la Covid-19 est un élément d’explication de la plus ou moins grande réactivité des collectivités locales. Nous montrons également que certaines collectivités se sont saisies de la crise pour mettre en œuvre des politiques de résilience de long terme.
Les commis des secrétaires d’État en France à la Renaissance. Entre domesticité et structuration d’une administration
Authors: Fontvieille Damien 
Published: March 2023

La création des secrétariats d’État en 1547 entraîne le développement d’une administration destinée à appuyer le secrétaire dans ses fonctions de plus en plus étendues. Symboles de ce phénomène, les commis ont pu être vus comme des représentants de la naissance d’une administration moderne. L’examen des commis des premiers secrétaires d’État dans la seconde moitié du xvi e siècle permet d’interroger cette question en portant le regard sur les rapports entre ces commis et les secrétaires. Il s’agit alors de restituer la singularité de ces premières administrations, entre développement de fonctions bureaucratiques et maintien de logiques de gouvernement domestique, marquées par les liens très étroits et les rapports personnels avec un patron.
Le papier-monnaie et le temps révolutionnaire. Assignats et régimes d’historicité
Authors: Orain Arnaud 
Published: March 2023

L’assignat est cet instrument monétaire étrange qui devait permettre de solder le passé – les dettes de l’Ancien Régime – tout en reposant sur l’avenir – la vente future des biens nationaux. Sa nature semblait entrer en écho avec le nouveau régime d’historicité qui était en train d’émerger en cette fin de xviii e siècle, celui d’un passé devenu inutile pour comprendre un présent accéléré, de plus en plus tourné vers les promesses du futur. Toutefois si ce régime, tendu vers le « progrès », devenait dominant, d’autres rapports au temps subsistaient sous la Révolution. Ainsi l’attente chrétienne eschatologique ou la vieille « histoire maîtresse de la vie » n’avaient pas disparu. Or l’assignat offre un point d’observation incomparable pour discuter des rapports au temps divergents des contemporains. Du geste transactionnel de l’assignat qui déchire le passé, et avec lequel on croit pouvoir contrôler l’avenir, jusqu’à sa dissection statistique présentiste, qui vise à refermer les attentes d’un futur radieux, en passant par le « temps naturel » de l’économie, la vitesse de circulation de la monnaie, le soi-disant jubilé des richesses et les apocalypses en miroir des contre-révolutionnaires fanatiques et des républicains « exagérés », chacun tente tant bien que mal d’articuler le papier-monnaie et ce nouvel espace-temps qu’a été la Révolution française.

Pumpkin seed ethanolic extract protects against escitalopram-induced reproductive toxicity in male mice
Authors: Karuna Agrawal , Lata Shahani , Pradeep Bhatnagar 
Published: March 2023

Objective:
To investigate the protective role of pumpkin seed ethanolic extract against escitalopram-induced reproductive toxicity in male mice.

Methods:
Swiss albino male mice were randomly divided into five groups with six mice in each group. Group I received normal water orally, Group II, III, IV and V received escitalopram oxalate (10 mg/kg), pumpkin seed extract (300 mg/kg) plus escitalopram oxalate (10 mg/kg), escitalopram oxalate (20 mg/kg), and pumpkin seed extract (300 mg/kg) plus escitalopram oxalate (20 mg/kg), respectively. All test doses were continuously administered orally once daily per animal body weight for 30 days and 60 days. Body weight and sexual organ weight were evaluated on day 31 and 61. Effects of pumpkin seed extract on sperm parameters, biochemical parameters and histology of testis were also investigated.

Results:
Escitalopram 10 or 20 mg/kg caused reproductive toxicity in male mice after 30 and 60 days of treatment. However, simultaneous administration of escitalopram oxalate (10 or 20 mg/kg) with pumpkin seed extract (300 mg/kg) attenuated escitalopram-induced testicular toxicity. Significant increase in the body weight and relative organ weight was observed. Sperm count, sperm motility and viability significantly increased (P<0.05). The histopathological alterations caused by escitalopram was also ameliorated.

Conclusions:
Ethanolic extract of pumpkin seeds (300 mg/kg body weight) protects again reproductive toxicity induced by escitalopram. Therefore, dietary intake of pumpkin seed extract might be useful for male patients who expose to antidepressant drug due to depression.
Cytokine changes and embryo attachment in mouse endometrial cells following treated with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) expressing ectopic hCG, and hCG–activated PBMCs
Authors: Rezaee Delsuz , Bandehpour Mojgan , Kazemi Bahram , Bastaminejad Saiyad , Najafi Sajad , Salehi Mohammad 
Published: March 2023

Objective:
To compare the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-producing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and PBMCs activated by hCG in vitro and expressions of related immune genes in mouse implantation.

Methods:
hCG-producing PBMCs (transfected PBMC) and PBMCs activated by hCG in vitro were introduced into isolated mouse endometrial cells, while cell cultures were divided into four groups: the control, PBMC, transfected, and activated PBMC groups. The expression of studied genes (IL-lβ, IL-6, Lif, and Vegf) was evaluated and blastocyst attachment on the cocultured cells (isolated endometrial cells and PBMC cells) was monitored in all four groups.

Results:
Data showed that expression decreased in the PBMC group compared to the treated PBMC (transfected and activated PBMCs) and increased in transfected PBMC compared to the activated PBMC. Attachment and migration of blastocysts were dramatically enhanced in the transfected PBMC group compared to the activated PBMC group (P<0.05).

Conclusions:
Use of hCG-producing PBMCs (transfected PBMC) has more influence on endometrial receptivity.

Authors: Arora Nidhi , Jiwan Triza , Juneja Sunil Kumar , Tandon Pooja 
Published: March 2023

Introduction:
The problem of infertility is experienced as a crisis or major life stressor with potentially serious negative effects on the couple’s relationship and preparation toward the parenthood. According to Sharlip et
al., it has been estimated that about 15% of couple would have trouble in conception, and at present, 48.5 million couples experience infertility globally. To decrease the stress among parents to be and to promote healthy parenting for bringing out healthy parent–child relationships, an intervention of Parent Education Program was planned and executed. A study was conducted with the aim to assess the effectiveness of parental preparedness package (PPP) on physical health among couple conceived with artificial reproductive techniques (ART).

Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of PPP in fifty couples conceived with ART at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana. Quantitative approach was used to collect the data of couples by doing pre- and postinterventional assessment of physical health of couple using the Structured Physical Health Assessment Scale. Analysis was done with the help of descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results:
The study revealed that mean score of physical health of couple (both husband and wife) increased significantly after the intervention which infers the effectiveness of PPP (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:
Our study concludes that PPP should be incorporated in the antenatal care protocol in all couples who conceive using ART.

Published: March 2023

Context:
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is established as the gold standard for benign gallbladder disease. This study was done for the evaluation of preoperative scoring system given by Randhawa and Pujahari considering various preoperative parameters to predict difficulty in LC.

Aims:
Preoperative prediction of difficult LC using a scoring system considering various preoperative factors in elective/interval LC to predict difficult gallbladder.

Settings and Design:
A prospective study of 120 patients admitted for LC from January 2020 to June 2021 was analyzed.

Subjects and Methods:
All the patients were evaluated on the basis of Randhawa and Pujahari scoring system with the following variables: age >50 years, male sex, body mass index 25.1–27.5 and >27.5 kg/m2, previous abdominal surgery, prior hospitalization for gallstone disease, palpable gallbladder, gallbladder wall thickening, impacted stone, and pericholecystic collection. Each variable had given a score. Based on these findings, the surgical procedure was defined as easy, difficult, and very difficult.

Results:
One hundred and twenty cases satisfying the inclusion criteria were studied comparing different variables and assigned preoperative scoring. A score >5 was considered significant and compared with intraoperative findings. Out of 53 patients having preoperative scores >5, 40 were difficult gallbladders and 13 were easy to operate. Prediction came true in 93.0% of difficult cases and 83.1% of easy cases.

Conclusions:
From this study, we can conclude that the preoperative scoring system is statistically reliable to predict difficulty in LC in the majority of the cases (area under receiver operator characteristics = 0.935).

Bone Age Assessment from Lateral Cephalograms Using Deep Learning Algorithms in the Indian Population
Authors: Agarwal Sandhita , Agarwal Sonahita 
Published: March 2023

Purpose:
The assessment of bone age has applications in a wide variety of fields: from orthodontics to immigration. The traditional non-automated methods are time-consuming and subject to inter- and intra-observer variability. This is the first study of its kind done on the Indian population. In this study, we analyse different pre-processing techniques and architectures to determine the degree of maturation (i.e. cervical vertebral maturation [CVM]) from cephalometric radiographs using machine learning algorithms.

Methods:
Cephalometric radiographs—labelled with the correct CVM stage using Baccetti et al. method—from 383 individuals aged between 10 and 36 years were used in the study. Data expansion and in-place data augmentation were used to handle high data imbalances. Different pre-processing techniques like Sobel filters and canny edge detectors were employed. Several deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures along with numerous pre-trained models like ResNet-50 and VGG-19 were analysed for their efficacy on the dataset.

Results:
Models with 6 and 8 convolutional layers trained on 64 × 64–size grayscale images trained the fastest and achieved the highest accuracy of 94%. Pre-trained ResNet-50 with the first 49 layers frozen and VGG-19 with 10 layers frozen to training had remarkable performances on the dataset with accuracies of 91% and 89%, respectively.

Conclusions:
Custom deep CNN models with 6–8 layers on 64 × 64–sized greyscale images were successfully used to achieve high accuracies to classify the majority classes. This study is a launchpad in the development of an automated method for bone age assessment from lateral cephalograms for clinical purposes.
Role of machine learning techniques in classification of peripheral pulse morphology
Authors: Patil Nishant B , Bhat Sushma N , Christopher Janisha J , Abhane Rameshwari V , Bagal Uttam R , Nagare Gajanan D 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Recording of peripheral pulse serves as a very important and essential non-invasive tool used widely by doctors for the diagnosis of various diseases. The morphology of pulse is seen to vary as a function of time in a given individual and also from individual to individual. There are many variations in morphological patterns of peripheral pulse in different disease conditions, which lead to difficulty in accurate diagnosis. The peripheral pulse waveforms are extracted from radial arteries as time series data using a peripheral pulse analyzer which is designed on the principle of impedance plethysmography. It was first introduced by Nyober in the mid-nineteen hundreds and ameliorated further by Kubicek. It involves the recording of the instantaneous blood volume by the measurement of electrical impedance as a function of time. Therefore, the study of peripheral pulse morphology has gained much attention in the past few years among researchers. Physiological variability is one of the recent investigations added during the last two decades for the objective assessment of autonomic function and the assessment of prognosis in severe sicknesses namely myocardial infarction, diabetic neuropathy, etc. In addition to heart rate variability studied worldwide, few researchers have studied blood pressure variability and peripheral blood flow variability. In this computer era, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques have become more important day-by-day, and different types of algorithms were used for the identification of hidden patterns from plethysmographic observations on the radial pulse such as support vector machine as well as crisp and fuzzy clustering. Eight patterns were classified with a yield of 80%–90% and helped with the diagnosis of disorders such as myocardial infarction, pulmonary tuberculosis, coronary artery disorders, cirrhosis of the liver, and bronchial asthma. This paper briefly describes the use of machine learning techniques for the classification of peripheral pulse morphologies.
Prevalence and predictors of depression among college going youth of Meghalaya: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Diengdoh Ibanlumlin , Ali Arif 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Backgrounds:
College years are characterized by transitioning from pre-adult to adulthood, a period of turmoil, adjusting to the new condition, separation from parental supervision, independence, and countering new things throughout everyday life. Depression and health-risk behaviors, including alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug, are often found in college students, particularly during their first year.

Aim:
To study the prevalence and predictors of depression among college-going youth of Meghalaya, India.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional community-based study has been undertaken to find the prevalence of depression, alcohol use, and drug use in college-going youth in Shillong, Meghalaya. A random sampling technique was used for the selection of colleges, and total enumeration was used for the selection of college-going students. A total of 358 respondents were selected for the present study. Permission from the college authority was obtained, and written informed consent was taken from the students. The participants have been explained the purpose of the study and the samples were selected voluntarily. The present study’s data were analyzed and interpreted using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.0. Socio-demographic datasheet, Beck Depression Inventory-II, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test, and drug abuse screening test were administered.

Results:
In the present study, 40.5% fall under the normal range of depression, while 38.3% had mild mood disturbance, 10.3% had borderline clinical depression, 9.7% had moderate depression, and severe depression was found in 1.1%. Alcohol use, drug use, and gender contribute significantly to the prediction of depression among college-going students (F[5,19.551] = 855.3, P = 0.000) accounting for 21.7% variance.

Conclusion:
Our findings highlight the need for a college mental health program for early identification and screening of substance use and depression in college students.
