Ce que les machines ont vu et que nous ne savons pas encore
Authors: di Lenardo Isabella , Kaplan Frédéric 
Published: May 2023

Cet article conceptualise l’idée qu’il existe une « matière noire » composée des structurations latentes identifiées par le regard machinique sur de grandes collections photographiques patrimoniales. Les campagnes photographiques de l’histoire de l’art, au xx e siècle, avaient pour ambition implicite de transformer toutes les œuvres d’art en documents plus facilement étudiables. Au fil du temps, la création de ces collections visuelles a permis de produire un corpus d’informations potentiellement plus dense et plus riche que ce que ses créateurs avaient initialement imaginé. En effet, la conversion numérique de ces immenses corpus visuels permet aujourd’hui de réanalyser ces images avec des techniques de vision par ordinateur, l’intelligence artificielle ouvrant ainsi la voie à des perspectives d’études bien différentes de celles envisageables au siècle dernier. Nous pourrions ainsi dire qu’il y a dans ces images un immense potentiel latent de connaissance, un réseau dense de relations qui n’a pas encore été mis en lumière. Qu’est-ce que les machines ont vu ou vont pouvoir voir dans ces collections d’images que l’homme n’a pas encore identifié ? Quelle étendue la connaissance visuelle de l’homme couvre-t-elle par rapport à ce que la machine a pu analyser ? Les nouvelles techniques d’indexation des images et des motifs qui les constituent nous rapprochent d’une révolution copernicienne du visuel dans laquelle l’homme peut, grâce à la machine-prothèse, analyser beaucoup plus d’images qu’il ne pouvait le faire par une simple activité mnémonique et sélectionner des perspectives spécifiques en comparant des ensembles de motifs les uns par rapport aux autres. Cette vision augmentée est fondée sur une pré-analyse conduite par la machine sur l’ensemble de ces corpus visuels, un entraînement qui permet de retrouver la structure sous-jacente du système d’images. La vision humaine est ainsi étendue par le regard artificiel préalable de la machine. Pour comprendre les enjeux de cette nouvelle alliance, il faut étudier la nature de ce regard artificiel, comprendre son potentiel pour découvrir des structures jusqu’à présent inconnues et anticiper les nouvelles formes de connaissances humaines auxquelles il pourra donner naissance. L’enjeu sera donc, pour les prochaines années, de comprendre ce que les machines ont vu et que nous ne savons pas encore.

Published: May 2023

Introduction:
Dental implants have emerged as the treatment of choice for restoring missing teeth in situations that require functional and aesthetic replacements. The aim of the study was to assess the dimensional accuracy of (1) the resultant casts made from different impression techniques for implants, (2) implant impressions using two types of splinting material for open tray technique, auto-polymerising acrylic resin and light-cure acrylic resin and impression techniques, including non-sectioning and sectioning and rejoining with the same splinting material.

Materials and Methods:
The present study was conducted to compare the accuracy of direct splinted implant impression techniques. There were four impression techniques selected: (1) direct impression technique with autopolymerising acrylic resin splint, (2) direct impression technique with autopolymerising acrylic resin splint sectioned 17 min after setting and welded with the same resin, (3) direct impression technique with light-cure acrylic resin splint and (4) direct impression technique with light-cure acrylic resin splint sectioned and welded with the same resin.

Results:
Comparison within the four impression groups with respect to distances X and Y with a master model by Tukey’s post-hoc procedures shows a statistically significant difference only for Group 1, showing P < 0.05.

Conclusion:
There is a significant difference in the accuracy of the direct splinted implant impression technique with auto-polymerising acrylic resin without sectioning. Sectioning the auto-polymerising acrylic resin splint after 17 min and rejoining before impression making markedly increase the accuracy of implant impression. Splinting with light-cure acrylic resin shows a more accurate impression than the splint with auto-polymerising acrylic resin.

Published: May 2023

Introduction:
This cross-sectional interview-based study aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of probable anxiety and depression in patients with traumatic open-globe injury and to identify factors associated with anxiety and depression following open-globe injury.

Methods:
Two hundred and twenty-five patients with open-globe injury were identified at the UC Davis Medical Center between 2008 and 2019. Prisoners and patients under 18 at the time of recruitment were excluded from the study. One hundred and twenty-four patients provided consent to participate in the study, which involved a phone interview and chart review. The interview consisted of a section on sociodemographic data and potential associations followed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, a standardized 14-question survey that has been validated in previous studies as an excellent predictor of anxiety and depression. A score of 8 for anxiety or depression was considered a positive test, and patients with a positive test in either category were advised to seek further evaluation with their primary care doctors. The prevalence of probable anxiety and depression was calculated, and linear regression was used to identify factors associated with anxiety and depression.

Results:
The average age was 50.5 ± 19.2, and 75.8% of patients were male. The anxiety score was positive in 37.9% of patients and the depression score was positive in 28.2%. The mean anxiety and depression scores were 6.3 ± 4.7 and 5.5 ± 4.8, respectively. The P value of the linear regressions for anxiety score and depression score were both < 0.001, with R
2 = 0.429 and 0.363, respectively. Younger age (P = 0.002) and unemployment at the time of the interview (P = 0.038) were associated with higher anxiety scores. Patients who were bothered by the appearance of their injured eye had higher anxiety scores (P < 0.001) and depression scores (P < 0.001). Patients without a high school diploma had higher depression scores (P < 0.001). Gender, enucleation status, number of people in support network, use of a prosthetic or scleral shell, final logMAR visual acuity, marital status, months since the initial injury, and presence of an intraocular foreign body were not significantly associated with anxiety or depression scores.

Conclusions:
Traumatic open-globe injury is associated with a high prevalence of probable anxiety and depression. Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the injured eye was associated with higher anxiety and depression scores. Younger age and unemployment were associated with increased anxiety scores, and lack of a high school diploma was associated with higher depression scores.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
The objective was to study the association between the clinicopathological stage of breast cancer and lymph node (LN) involvement with respect to Ki-67, P53, human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2/neu), estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR) status.

Methods:
This observational cross-sectional study, conducted in a tertiary care hospital, included 100 adult female patients with operable breast carcinoma. The histopathological investigations, including histopathological typing and immunohistochemistry (IHC) (ER, PR, HER2/neu, Ki-67, and p53), were done. For IHC, a cutoff of 10% stained cells or more was considered positive for ER, PR, p53, and HER2/neu, and a cutoff of >14% stained cells was considered positive for Ki-67 expression. The interrelation of markers with clinical stage and LN involvement was evaluated.

Results:
ER, PR, and HER2/neu status were positive in 56%, 42%, and 22% of cases. Ki-67 ≥14% was present in 94% of cases. P53 was positive in 14% of cases. P53 and Ki-67 showed a significant association with tumor (T), nodes (N), and metastases (M) staging. As for the IHC of axillary LN s, only Ki-67 increased expression (≥14%) showed a significant association with P = 0.01. For the clinical staging, no markers among ER, PR, HER2/neu, Ki-67, and p53 showed a significant association.

Conclusion:
To conclude, p53 increased mutation and Ki-67 expression hold a significant association with the increasing stage of breast cancer and axillary lymphadenopathy.

ABSTRACT

Background:
As illustrated by the magic words “Open, sesame” from the Arabian night stories meaning “unlocking of treasures,” the use and benefits of sesame oil have been mentioned in ancient literature of Egypt, Greece, and China, Ayurveda of India, and various prospective studies. Hence, it is anticipated that its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effect might be effective for preventing chemoradiotherapy-induced acute oral mucositis (OM). Furthermore, soda-saline mouthwash (SSM) potentiates its impact through saponification.

Materials and Methods:
It was a single-arm, open-label, prospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Northeast India. Sixty-six patients with head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma planned for definitive chemoradiation were enrolled in the study. The patients rinsed their mouths with 2 tablespoons of virgin sesame oil six times/day and SSM 15 ml ten times/day from the 1st day of radiotherapy (RT) until 6-week post-RT. OM was graded using Radiation Therapy Oncology Group criteria.

Results:
Out of finally analyzed 58 patients, most were male with a mean age of 55 years. The mean time of development of Grade I and Grade II OM was 4.71 ± 0.92 and 5.86 ± 0.80 weeks, respectively. The incidence of grade ≥3 OM was 12.1%.

Conclusion:
Sesame oil + SSM remarkably helped in delaying the onset and severity of mucositis as compared to other studies. It is simple to practice with good compliance and no side effects. Additional replication studies, including randomized studies comparing this with other mouthwashes, using large sample sizes are required for its routine use.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Objective:
This study analyzed different planning target dose–volume evaluation parameters, target mean dose, homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI), and Target Coverage Index (TCI) for different conformal techniques. The purpose of this article was to analyze these three parameters in the assessment of the treatment plans in ten patients undergoing postoperative conformal radiotherapy treatment.

Materials and Methods:
We retrospectively evaluated that the treatment plans of ten patients with a prescribed dose was 60 Gy delivered at 2.0 Gy per fraction using 6 MV photon energy. The dosimetric comparison was done by performing two plans for the same patient; prescription dose and normal tissue constraints were identical for both plans. A total of ten patients underwent computed tomography treatment planning in conjunction with magnetic resonance imaging fusion. Prescription dose and normal tissue constraints were identical for both conformal plans. The irradiated patients were retrieved and replanned with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) techniques, and a dosimetric comparison was done by performing two plans for the same patient.

Results:
The Student’s t-test was used to perform statistical analysis to determine the differences between the dose–volume constraints used for planning. The cumulative dose–volume histogram of target volumes (TVs), target coverage, target homogeneity, target conformity, and normal tissue sparing with two different conformal planning was compared. The intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plan yielded superior target coverage as compared with the 3D-CRT plan. Specifically, minimum and mean planning TV cone-down doses were 46.80 ± 4.16 Gy and 60.72 ± 1.00 Gy for IMRT and 49.06 ± 4.98 Gy and 61.04 ± 1.15 Gy for 3D-CRT P < 0.519, respectively. The CI was approximately equal in both the modalities with an average value of 0.962 ± 0.041 in IMRT compared to 0.969 ± 0.039 in 3DCRT (P < 0.481). The average HI in IMRT was 0.187 ± 0.176 and 0.099 ± 0.0500 in 3DCRT (P < 0.165). Therefore, IMRT achieved an improvement in HI. The target coverage index (TCI) in IMRT was 0.7213 ± 0.2050 and 0.5970 ± 0.194 in 3DCRT. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the differences.

Conclusions:
These indexes can all be objective tools for the evaluation of plan quality. The IMRT plan yielded superior target coverage and reduced radiation dose to the brain, brainstem, and optic chiasm. With the availability of new cancer imaging tools and more effective systemic agents, IMRT may be used to intensify tumor doses when minimizing toxicity, therefore potentially improving outcomes in patients.
Comparison between En bloc Resection and Conventional Resection of Bladder Tumor in Perioperative and Oncological Outcomes
Authors: Chiang Ping-Chia , Chiang Po-Hui , Luo Hao-Lun 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Purpose:
Conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumors (cTURBT) has been the main technique for treating visible bladder tumor for decades. However, the reported rate of detrusor muscle presence in cTURBT specimen was lower than 80%, which is associated with imprecise staging and poor prognosis. Here, we present a retrospective analysis to compare the detrusor muscle detection rate and outcomes between en bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) and cTURBT.

Materials and Methods:
Between January 2016 and December 2019, a total of 150 procedures performed by single surgeon in single institute were reviewed in this study. Of these procedures, 41 (27.3%) were ERBT and 109 (72.6%) were cTURBT. The two techniques were compared for pathological detrusor muscle detection, history of upper tract urothelial cancer, number of tumor lesions, histopathological grading and staging, time of operation, and time of catheterization and hospitalization.

Results:
The muscularis propria detection rate was statistically significantly higher in the ERBT group than in the cTURBT group (82.9% vs. 43.1%, P < 0.0001). The multivariate analysis showed resection method as an independent factor of detrusor muscle presentation (P < 0.0001). The mean Foley catheter indwelling and hospitalization days were longer in the ERBT group but were only 1 day longer than in the cTURBT group.

Conclusion:
ERBT significantly increases the muscularis propria detection rate than cTURBT. ERBT can provide more accurate cancer staging and contribute to proper decision-making. This study strengthens ERBT as a feasible and promising management of bladder cancer.

The common phonological, lexical, and morphosyntactic characteristics of different varieties of Spanglish are presented, and the case for understanding Spanglish as a distinctive and legitimate set of language varieties in the US context is offered. Finally, the role played by raciolinguistic ideologies in the marginalization of Spanglish in the United States will be discussed and critiqued.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0005/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
GENDER ROLES, WOMEN AND THE POLITICS OF BECOMING IN ABIMBOLA ADELAKUN’S UNDER THE BROWN RUSTED ROOF
Authors: Udoette Monica , Akpan Kufre A. 
Published: May 2023

Society’s strict insistence on prescribed gender-typed roles and behaviours has eventually become a parameter that defines the expectations for each sex. These expectations, among other things, include how men and women, as well as boys and girls, should behave and look like, and what they ought to do and also not to do. This has consequently created, reinforced, and perpetuated male dominance and female subordination. Thus, the construction of masculine/feminine, father/mother, husband/wife, and superior/inferior becomes a social process of gendering power in society. In literature, the situation has led to a negative portrayal of women, especially in male-authored literary works. Against this backdrop, this paper addresses the conflict of power and interest within the family and societal structure, through analysis of Abimbola Adelakun’s Under the Brown Rusted Roof. The paper adopts Judith Butler’s Gender Performativity as its theoretical standpoint and succinctly establishes that male dominance is not only sexist, but promotes the belief that women are inferior to men. In conclusion, the paper argues that the way women are portrayed in female-authored texts, exemplified in Adelakun’s text, revises the canon and attempts to justify the need for the dismantling of power structures within the family.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0008/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study intends to explore Moroccan English pre-service teachers’ experience with using cell phones during their internships. Nineteen instructors were picked at random from the Rabat CRMEF (Regional Center for Education and Training Professions). Interviews were conducted with all nineteen participants. The results displayed that trainees’ preconception on the complexity of using smartphones may affect their tendency on employing this mobile tool as an instructional medium. The findings also revealed that pre-service teachers are not ready to integrate smartphones in EFL classrooms due to the lack of ICT training, distractions that smartphones bring about, and schools’ policies banning the use of this gadget.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0029/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
EFFECTS OF SELF-LEARNING AND EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF BIOLOGY STUDENTS IN DELTA CENTRAL SENATORIAL DISTRICT, NIGERIA
Authors: Omeligwe J. A. , Kpangban E. 
Published: May 2023

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of self-learning and explicit instructional strategies on the achievement of biology students in Delta Central Senatorial District. The study adopted the pre-test post-test control group quasi-experimental design. Seven research questions and seven hypotheses were raised and formulated to guide the study, respectively. A sample of three hundred and thirty-five senior secondary II students randomly selected from six public mixed secondary schools xusing simple random sampling techniques was used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was the Biology Achievement Test (BAT). The reliability of the BAT was established using Kuder-Richardson formula 21 which yielded a coefficient of 0.87. The data obtained were analysed using Means, Standard Deviation, paired sample t-test, Scheffe post hoc test and Analysis of Covariance at 0.05 level of significance. The results obtained revealed that there was a significant effect of self-learning and explicit instructional strategies on biology students’ achievement, compared to the lecture method; there was a significant difference in the achievement of biology students taught with self-learning and explicit instructional strategies in favour of students taught with explicit instructional strategy; there was no significant difference between the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught biology using self-learning and explicit instructional strategies; there was no significant effect of the interaction of teaching method and sex on biology students achievement. Based on the findings, it was concluded that self-learning and explicit instructional strategies are effective strategies in boosting students’ achievement in biology. It was, therefore, recommended that science teachers, especially biology teachers, should expose biology students to self-learning and explicit instructional strategies that promote active participation and ultimately enhance achievement.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0008/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
OPTIMIZATION OF THE 3D PRINTING AND TEST OF MATERIALS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR STUDENTS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT
Authors: Caruso Renata Cury , Dos Santos Thiago Roberto , Rutz da Silva Sani de Carvalho 
Published: May 2023

The article presents the studies and steps followed to optimize the 3D printing of an inclusive material, the “Adapted Multiplication Domino”. This material is a game that follows the same rules as a traditional domino, but with numerical representation at the ends of each piece with mathematical operations (multiplication and division), so that students can calculate, play, and fix math contents, which can be played by students with and without Visual Impairment. During the printing of the first prototype of this material, the printed pieces contained stringings (traces of filament in empty spaces of the piece), which made it difficult for blind students to read the braille operations. A literature review about problems in 3D printing was realized, using databases and platforms such as SciELO, Google Scholar, and Capes Periodical Portal, to be able to identify and solve the problem that was occurring. With that done, the complete game was printed and tested, to collect feedback, and based on that, making the necessary changes and obtaining a satisfactory and adequate result.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0009/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
