L’univers idéologico-politique des peuples autochtones au Québec*
Authors: Renaud Nicolas , Salée Daniel 
Published: July 2023

Bien que l’univers idéologico-politique des peuples autochtones présents au Québec puisse sembler à première vue faire écho au vocabulaire et à la grammaire politiques qui émaillent le corpus idéologique québécois, il s’en démarque considérablement. On peut dans les faits parler d’un univers idéologico-politique parallèle. Un univers qui s’articule à l’évidence au contexte sociopolitique québécois, mais que l’on ne saurait ranger d’emblée pour autant dans la catégorie des « idéologies québécoises », car il se déploie en opposition au processus historique d’imposition de la norme sociétale québécoise (et canadienne) et donc d’une colonialité dont le monde autochtone a toujours récusé les termes et les conséquences. C’est principalement ce que tend à démontrer le présent texte à travers un tour d’horizon des principaux référents qui informent la parole et l’agir politiques autochtones au sein de la société québécoise. La démarche procède en examinant d’abord le processus de structuration de l’univers idéologico-politique autochtone au Québec. Elle se penche ensuite sur le tournant dé-colonial que semblent avoir pris la pensée et l’action politiques autochtones au cours des deux ou trois dernières décennies et montre que l’unicité philosophique et conceptuelle qui sous-tend l’agir et les aspirations politiques des peuples autochtones au Québec participe de la résurgence culturelle autochtone qui a cours depuis la deuxième moitié du vingtième siècle. Le texte conclut en mettant en relief les difficultés du discours politique autochtone à s’instituer à l’encontre du récit national québécois.

Authors: Eskişehirli Beyaz 
Published: July 2023

The differential operator Df = f′ is a canonical example of unbounded operators in many Banach spaces. In this study, we identify a class of weighted Fock spaces in which the differential operator is bounded. Then, we obtain some properties of the differential operator on these spaces in terms of its C*-algebraic structure in the one and two-dimensional cases.

Published: July 2023

Background: Body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), are acceptable indicators in accessing health status that are used to assess cardiometabolic disorders and to predict future health risks. The aim of the study assesses the health status of Ikwerres and Okrikas ethnic groups using BMI and WHR.
Methods: The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional study design where it comprises of 300 respondents (139 females and 161 males) between the age of 18-37 years were randomly selected. BMI was deduced from the division of body weight by the square root of standing height and WHR by direct division of waist circumference and hip circumference.
Results: A study of 300 subjects from Ikwerre and Okrika ethnic groups in Rivers State found that 11.8% were underweight, 76.4% normal weight, 7.5% overweight, and 4.3% obese in males. The association of BMI was significant with gender differences, and the waist-to-hip ratio showed that 69.6% of males were within the normal range. BMI and waist-to-hip ratio are significant.
Conclusion: BMI shows gender differences and the association between BMI and WHR is significant.

AbstractPassive solar desalination with interfacial heating is a promising technique to utilize solar energy to convert seawater into fresh water through evaporation and condensation. However, the current freshwater flux of solar desalination is much below industrial requirements (> 20 L m−2 h−1). Herein, it is demonstrated that a 3D plasmonic evaporator with an efficient heat‐mass evaporation interface (HM‐EI) achieves a freshwater flux of 29.1 L m−2 h−1 for 3.5 wt.% NaCl, which surpasses the previous solar evaporators and approaches the level of reverse osmosis (the highest installed capacity in industrial seawater desalination technology). The realization of high freshwater flux solar desalination comes from the efficient HM‐EI comprising a grid‐like plasmonic macrostructure for enhanced energy utilization in heat properties and a large‐pore microstructure for accelerated ion transport in mass properties. This work provides a new direction for designing next‐generation solar evaporators with high freshwater flux for industrial requirements.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe development of bioelectronic neural implant technologies has advanced significantly over the past 5 years, particularly in brain–machine interfaces and electronic medicine. However, neuroelectrode‐based therapies require invasive neurosurgery and can subject neural tissues to micromotion‐induced mechanical shear, leading to chronic inflammation, the formation of a peri‐electrode void and the deposition of reactive glial scar tissue. These structures act as physical barriers, hindering electrical signal propagation and reducing neural implant functionality. Although well documented, the mechanisms behind the initiation and progression of these processes are poorly understood. Herein, in silico analysis of micromotion‐induced peri‐electrode void progression and gliosis is described. Subsequently, ventral mesencephalic cells exposed to milliscale fluid shear stress in vitro exhibited increased expression of gliosis‐associated proteins and overexpression of mechanosensitive ion channels PIEZO1 (piezo‐type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1) and TRPA1 (transient receptor potential ankyrin 1), effects further confirmed in vivo in a rat model of peri‐electrode gliosis. Furthermore, in vitro analysis indicates that chemical inhibition/activation of PIEZO1 affects fluid shear stress mediated astrocyte reactivity in a mitochondrial‐dependent manner. Together, the results suggest that mechanosensitive ion channels play a major role in the development of a peri‐electrode void and micromotion‐induced glial scarring at the peri‐electrode region.

AbstractBackgroundGeneral emergency physicians provide most pediatric emergency care in the United States yet report more challenges managing emergencies in children than adults. Recommendations for standardized pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) curricula to address educational gaps due to variations in pediatric exposure during emergency medicine (EM) training lack learner input. This study surveyed senior EM residents and recent graduates about their perceived preparedness to manage pediatric emergencies to better inform PEM curricula design.MethodsIn 2021, senior EM residents and graduates from the classes of 2020 and 2019 across eight EM programs with PEM rotations at the same children's hospital were recruited and surveyed electronically to assess perceived preparedness for 42 pediatric emergencies and procedures by age: infants under 1 year, toddlers, and children over 4 years. Preparedness was reported on a 5‐point Likert scale with 1 or 2 defined as “unprepared.” A chi‐square test of independence compared the proportion of respondents unprepared to manage each condition across age groups, and a p‐value < 0.05 demonstrated significance.ResultsThe response rate was 53% (129/242), with a higher response rate from senior residents (65%). Respondents reported feeling unprepared to manage more emergency conditions in infants compared to other age groups. Respondents felt least prepared to manage inborn errors of metabolism and congenital heart disease, with 45%–68% unprepared for these conditions across ages. A heat map compared senior residents to recent graduates. More graduates reported feeling unprepared for major trauma, impending respiratory failure, and pediatric advanced life support algorithms.ConclusionsThis study, describing the perspective of EM senior residents and recent graduates, offers unique insights into PEM curricular needs during EM training. Future PEM curricula should target infant complaints and conditions with lower preparedness scores across ages. Other centers training EM residents could use our findings and methods to bolster PEM curricula.

AbstractCommon leaf rust (CLR) and turcicum leaf blight (TLB) are the key foliar diseases of maize in Ethiopia. However, in Eastern Ethiopia, information related to the distribution and abundance of CLR and TLB and the relationship of the diseases with independent variables are lacking. Therefore, this study was initiated with the objectives of assessing the distribution of CLR and TLB and their association with biophysical factors and cropping systems. A survey was conducted in the 2019 cropping season in different agroecological zones of East and West Hararghe zones and a total of 120 fields were surveyed. For each field assessed, disease parameters and information on cropping system were recorded. Data were analyzed by using the SAS GENEMODE procedure. Result showed that CLR incidence ranged from 16.84% to 100% in Kombolcha and Kuni districts, respectively. The severity level ranged from 6.0% for Kombolcha to 58.2% for Kuni and Chelenko districts. However, the TLB incidence ranged from 13.4% to 100% at Kobo and Haramaya districts, respectively. Similarly the severity level ranged from 6.0% to 58.0% at Kombolcha and Kuni districts, respectively. Result also showed the presence of higher values of CLR incidence, and severity (>61.7% and >32.1%, respectively) and higher level of TLB incidence and severity (>58.1% and >30.2%, respectively) were highly associated with the West Hararghe Zone, Altitude >2000 m.a.s.l., Kuni and Haramaya districts, fields without any type of fertilizer, un weeded fields, intercroped with sorghum, maize verities sown in June, and seeds collected from previous yield resulted in the highest disease incidence and severity. Among the independent variables, district was the most important variable in its association with CLR incidence (χ2 = 647.93 and 341.18, 7 df) and severity (χ2 = 219.56 and 112.83, 7 df) and with TLB incidence (χ2 = 758.91 and 350.03, 7 df) and severity (χ2 = 330.92 and 124.04, 7 df) when entered first and last into the logistic regression model, respectively. Hence, it is concluded that CLR and TLB are the most widely distributed and important foliar diseases of maize in the Hararghe highlands. Information from this study is very useful to maize growers to device an ecologically sound, and effective management options against these diseases in the study are and elsewhere where the diseases are common and prevalent.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONFinding low‐cost methods to detect early‐stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a research priority for neuroprotective drug development. Presymptomatic Alzheimer's is associated with gait impairment but hand motor tests, which are more accessible, have hardly been investigated. This study evaluated how home‐based Tasmanian (TAS) Test keyboard tapping tests predict episodic memory performance.METHODS1169 community participants (65.8 ± 7.4 years old; 73% female) without cognitive symptoms completed online single‐key and alternate‐key tapping tests and episodic memory, working memory, and executive function cognitive tests.RESULTSAll single‐key (R2adj = 8.8%, ΔAIC = 5.2) and alternate‐key (R2adj = 9.1%, ΔAIC = 8.8) motor features predicted episodic memory performance relative to demographic and mood confounders only (R2adj = 8.1%). No tapping features improved estimation of working memory.DISCUSSIONBrief self‐administered online hand movement tests predict asymptomatic episodic memory impairment. This provides a potential low‐cost home‐based method for stratification of enriched cohorts.Highlights
We devised two brief online keyboard tapping tests to assess hand motor function.
1169 cognitively asymptomatic adults completed motor‐ and cognitive tests online.
Impaired hand motor function predicted reduced episodic memory performance.
This brief self‐administered test may aid stratification of community cohorts.

AbstractDynamisch kovalente Chemie (DCvC) ist ein wertvolles und breit eingesetztes Werkzeug in der modernen Synthesechemie, das auf dem reversiblen Knüpfen und Brechen kovalenter Bindungen basiert. Eine der inhärenten Stärken dieses Ansatzes ist das Potential, in einfachen Syntheseprotokollen reversibel neue Strukturmotive generieren zu können, die mit anderen Methoden nur schwer oder gar nicht zugänglich sind und eine Vielzahl von Bindungsbrüchen und ‐knüpfungen erfordern. Bislang sind diese fundamentalen synthesechemischen und konzeptionellen Herausforderungen in der DCvC verstärkt mit leichteren p‐Block‐Elementen angegangen worden, obwohl schwerere p‐Block‐Elemente angesichts geringer Bindungsdissoziationsenergien ideal geeignet für den Einsatz in der DCvC erscheinen. Wir zeigen hier, dass eine zweikernige metallorganische Bismutverbindung, bestehend aus zwei Thioxanthen‐verbrückten BiMe2‐Einheiten, bereitwillig selektive und reversible Bi−C Bindungsbrüche vollzieht, wenn sie externen Stimuli ausgesetzt wird. Das Ausnutzen von DCvC in der metallorganischen Chemie schwerer p‐block‐Elemente gewährt Zugang zu präzedenzlosen Makrocyclen und oligonuklearen Komplexen mit Fass‐ähnlicher Struktur.

Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundCardiovascular diseases are prevalent in autistic patients. As exercise is useful in the treatment of medical conditions, this study aimed to identify the effect of low‐intensity endurance exercise (LIEE) and moderate‐intensity endurance exercise (MIEE) on cardiovascular events in autistic rats.MethodsValproic acid (VPA) was administrated once on gestational day 12.5 to pregnant rats to produce autism‐like symptoms in offspring. Thirty‐day‐old offspring were divided into 12 groups: Male‐CTL, Male‐VPA, Male‐CTL + LIEE, Male‐CTL + MIEE, Male‐VPA + LIEE, Male‐VPA + MIEE, Female‐CTL, Female‐VPA, Female‐CTL + LIEE, Female‐CTL + MIEE, Female‐VPA + LIEE, and Female‐VPA + MIEE. LIEE and MIEE were performed 5 days a week for 30 days. Twenty‐four hours after the last exercise session, electrocardiogram and hemodynamic and cardiac function indices were recorded.ResultsThe results indicated that +dp/dt max and contractility index (CI) decreased in the Female‐VPA group compared to the Female‐CTL group. LIEE increased these parameters in the Female‐VPA + LIEE group. However, MIEE normalized CI in the Male‐VPA + MIEE compared to the Male‐VPA group. Tau increased in the Female‐VPA group compared to the Female‐CTL group and it decreased in the Female‐VPA + MIEE group compared to the Female‐VPA group. LIEE and MIEE recovered the reduction of heart rate and the increase in P, R, and T amplitudes in Male‐VPA group. LIEE and MIEE increased heart rate variability in the Male‐VPA and Female‐VPA groups.ConclusionsThe findings showed that LIEE and MIEE alleviated cardiac dysfunction and disturbances in heart rhythm in the autistic offspring. Exercise may be recommended as a routine program for autistic patients to prevent and treat the harmful cardiovascular consequences of autism.

AbstractMeet the Metaorganism is a web‐based learning app that combines three fundamental biological concepts (coevolution, community dynamics, and immune system) with latest scientific findings using the metaorganism as a central case study. In a transdisciplinary team of scientists, information designers, programmers, science communicators, and educators, we conceptualized and developed the app according to the latest didactic and scientific findings and aimed at setting new standards in visual design, digital knowledge transfer, and online education. A content management system allows continuous integration of new findings, which enables us to expand the app with the dynamics of the research field. Students can thus gain a close insight and connection to current research, and at the same time learn that knowledge is not static but grows dynamically. Especially in the realm of the easily accessible metaorganism research, visualization plays an essential role to keep complex processes understandable and memorable. Meet the Metaorganism is freely available online and can be accessed here: www.metaorganism.app.

Published: July 2023

Key Clinical MessageLinezolid (LZD) is an efficient addition antibiotic against multidrug‐resistant strains. However, clinicians should pay attention to the adverse reactions such as hypoglycemia and anemia in using LZD, especially in elderly patients and patients with abnormal liver and kidney function who need to use LZD for a long time.AbstractSevere hypoglycemia and anemia caused by linezolid (LZD) are rare, with potentially serious adverse effects. The report of LZD‐induced hypoglycemia and anemia is extremely rare. Thus far, this is the first report. We presented LZD‐induced recurrent hypoglycemia and anemia in a 93‐year‐old patient who has been prescribed LZD 600 mg once daily for 42 days for treatment of tuberculosis (TB) pleurisy and pneumonia. The patient began to experience recurrent hypoglycemic episodes and anemia 5 days and 2 weeks after LZD medication, respectively. Using Naranjo's Adverse Drug Reaction Assessment Scale, the patient scored 8 points with the category of “probable”. His hypoglycemia and anemia gradually improved 1 month after LZD withdrawal. Clinicians should pay attention to the adverse reactions such as hypoglycemia and anemia in using LZD, especially in elderly patients and patients with abnormal liver and kidney function who need to use LZD for a long time. Patients should regularly monitor blood routine, blood glucose, and liver and kidney functions during LZD exposure, which may avoid adverse reactions and improve their prognosis.

Key Clinical MessageEven if cardiac rhythm deteriorated to asystole in the clinical course of fulminant myocarditis, cardiac function may recover, and the patient may be discharged without brain damage, if circulation could be maintained by appropriate mechanical cardiac supports.AbstractA 69‐year‐old man was diagnosed with fulminant myocarditis with circulatory collapse. His cardiac rhythm deteriorated to asystole on the second day; however, circulatory status was maintained through extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and intra‐aortic balloon pumping. After 38 h‐lasting asystole, his heart resumed beating. He was discharged without neurological deficits on Day 25.

Published: July 2023

Key Clinical MessageWe present a patient with cri‐du‐chat syndrome secondary to a rare cytogenetic mechanism. Our patient was the product of a dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy initially flagged with soft markers on ultrasound and uninformative single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)‐based noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for chromosome 18. Subsequent NIPT using proprietary‐targeted amplification methodology returned low risk for chromosomal aneuploidies 13, 18, and 21. Due to postnatal clinical findings, a clinical microarray and chromosomal karyotype confirmed cri‐du‐chat syndrome due to a de novo psu dic(5;18) (p15.2, p11.32). In this report we focus on these cytogenetic changes and discuss some of the current guidelines for prenatal microarray indications.

Published: July 2023

Key Clinical MessageOsteochondromas (OCs) are developmental anomalies that originate from the periosteum and typically form during enchondral ossification near the joints. Retro‐patellar OC caused by exostosis forms in various intracapsular, intra‐tendon, and joint‐adjacent positions within the knee joint. In this case, a 19‐year‐old male presented with swelling and a mass in his left knee, which raised suspicion of bone tumors. After evaluating x‐ray images and conducting histopathological examinations, the diagnosis was confirmed as retro‐patellar OC.
