Abstract
We present millimeter and submillimeter continuum observations for 36 sources with potentially large black hole shadows at 230 and 345 GHz using the Submillimeter Array. The sources are selected based on the criterion of the large diameter of the black hole shadows. Our motivation is to explore the nature of the accretion flow of the potential candidates of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) through photometry at millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths. The detected result serves as the pathfinder of future high-angular resolution observations such as the Event Horizon Telescope. As a result, we successfully detected 17 and eight sources at 230 and 345 GHz, respectively. We reveal that three of the detected sources (IC 310, NGC 1277, and NGC 5846) show significant excess at millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths in comparison with the extrapolation both from low-frequency radio and infrared, which are considered to be attributed to the extended jet and dust component, respectively. One possible explanation is that these excesses are associated with the hot accretion flow onto the supermassive black holes of the LLAGNs. By adopting the advection-dominated accretion flow model's semi-analytic model, we obtained the upper bound of the mass accretion rate. Those are less than 10−2

is the Eddington mass accretion rate computed via the Eddington luminosity. This is in good agreement with the expected range of the LLAGNs. The ∼200 mJy flux densities and negative spectral index of IC 1459 within millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths make it a promising candidate for future submillimeter high-angular resolution experiments for imaging the black hole shadow.
Triple Evolution: An Important Channel in the Formation of Type Ia Supernovae

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are thought to be the result of thermonuclear explosions in white dwarfs (WDs). Commonly considered formation pathways include two merging WDs (the double-degenerate channel) and a single WD accreting material from a H or He donor (the single-degenerate channel). Since the predicted SN Ia rates from WDs in binaries are thought to be insufficient to explain the observed SN Ia rate, it is important to study similar interactions in higher-order multiple-star systems such as triple systems. We use the evolutionary population synthesis code Multiple Stellar Evolution (MSE) to study the stellar evolution, binary interactions, and gravitational dynamics of the triple-star systems. Also, unlike previous studies, prescriptions are included to simultaneously take into account the single- and double-degenerate channels, and we consider triples across the entire parameter space (including those with tight inner binaries). We explore the impact of typically ignored or uncertain physics such as flybys and common envelope prescription parameters on our results. The majority of systems undergo circular mergers to explode as SNe Ia, while eccentric collisions contribute to 0.4%−4% of SN Ia events. The time-integrated SN Ia rate from the triple channel is found to be

Abstract
We present the mid-infrared (MIR) morphologies for 64 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at 0.2 < z < 2.5 with stellar mass M

M
⊙ using James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) observations from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science survey. The MIRI bands span the MIR (7.7–21 μm), enabling us to measure the effective radii (R
eff) and Sérsic indexes of these SFGs at rest-frame 6.2 and 7.7 μm, which contains strong emission from Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features, a well-established tracer of star formation in galaxies. We define a “PAH band” as the MIRI bandpass that contains these features at the redshift of the galaxy. We then compare the galaxy morphologies in the PAH bands to those in the rest-frame near-ultraviolet (NUV) using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)/F435W or ACS/F606W and optical/near-IR using HST WFC3/F160W imaging from UVCANDELS and CANDELS. The R
eff of galaxies in the PAH band are slightly smaller (∼10%) than those in F160W for galaxies with M

M
⊙ at z ≤ 1.2, but the PAH band and F160W have similar fractions of light within 1 kpc. In contrast, the R
eff of galaxies in the NUV band are larger, with lower fractions of light within 1 kpc compared to F160W for galaxies at z ≤ 1.2. Using the MIRI data to estimate the SFRIR surface density, we find that the correlation between the SFRIR surface density and stellar mass has a steeper slope than that of the SFRUV surface density and stellar mass, suggesting more massive galaxies having increasing amounts of obscured fraction of star formation in their inner regions. This paper demonstrates how the high-angular resolution data from JWST/MIRI can reveal new information about the morphology of obscured star formation.
Resonant Mode Coupling in δ Scuti Stars
Authors: Mourabit Mohammed , Weinberg Nevin N. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Delta Scuti (δ Sct) variables are intermediate-mass stars that lie at the intersection of the main sequence and the instability strip on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. Various lines of evidence indicate that nonlinear mode interactions shape their oscillation spectra, including the particularly compelling detection of resonantly interacting mode triplets in the δ Sct star KIC 8054146. Motivated by these observations, we use the theory of three-mode coupling to study the strength and prevalence of nonlinear mode interactions in 14 δ Sct models that span the instability strip. For each model, we calculate the frequency detunings and nonlinear coupling strengths of ∼104 unique combinations of mode triplets. We find that all the models contain at least ∼100 well-coupled triplets whose detunings and coupling strengths are consistent with the triplets identified in KIC 8054146. Our results suggest that resonant mode interactions can be significant in δ Sct stars and may explain why many exhibit rapid changes in amplitude and oscillation period.
Développement durable et environnement
Authors: Degron Robin 
Published: June 2023

Dans le cadre de l’ONU, dix-sept Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) ont été établis en 2015 avec un horizon de réalisation à 2030. Ils prennent en compte le fait que la notion de développement s’est mitigée depuis les années 1990 de préoccupations environnementales. Mais ces objectifs, de nature globale, suscitent de nombreuses questions dans un monde caractérisé par des réalités géographiques diversifiées. Prennent-ils en compte la diversité des civilisations ? Les approches différenciées de la notion d’égalité ? La variété des échelles géographiques ? Parviennent-ils à résoudre les enjeux des interactions entre ces dix-sept objectifs ? Ne mettent-ils pas en évidence des contradictions géopolitiques ? L’examen des réponses à ces questions permet d’éclairer sur les possibilités d’appliquer une même grille d’analyse du développement durable dans tous les pays du Monde.

Basée sur l’intervention d’opérateurs extérieurs en lien avec le monde de l’entreprise, l’expérimentation vise à soutenir les élèves dans leur orientation et à les aider à « être entreprenants ». L’enquête qualitative réalisée auprès des formateurs et des enseignants ou personnel de direction de ces collèges souligne les enjeux mais également les difficultés de ce projet, du fait notamment de la diversité des attentes entre les acteurs impliqués.
La politique communautaire du tourisme dans la zone CEMAC. Une analyse à la lumière des enjeux de l’intégration sous-régionale (2001-2012)
Authors: Dang A Goufan Paul Derrick 
Published: June 2023

L’objectif de la présente réflexion est d’étudier la politique communautaire du tourisme dans la zone CEMAC (Communauté économique et monétaire de l’Afrique centrale) afin de faire ressortir son rôle dans le processus d’intégration sous-régionale. Cette vision touristique commune se déploie autour de trois piliers fondamentaux : la Commission permanente du tourisme de la CEMAC ; l’École de l’hôtellerie et du tourisme de la CEMAC ; et le Conseil des ministres du Tourisme de la zone CEMAC. Pour étayer notre propos, nous avons eu recours à une méthodologie qui repose essentiellement sur la collecte et l’analyse de documents d’archives, d’ouvrages, de travaux académiques, de rapports et d’entretiens directifs en lien avec le tourisme et l’intégration sous-régionale dans cette zone. L’ancrage disciplinaire est celui de la tourismologie au sens de Jean-Michel Hoerner (sciences du tourisme) et de l’histoire des relations internationales. Au-delà des insuffisances (absence d’une réelle volonté politique, moyens financiers limités et problématique des ressources humaines dans le secteur touristique) qui démontrent que le tourisme demeure un souci annexe, cette vision communautaire du tourisme apparaît comme un atout pour parachever le processus d’intégration sous-régionale en zone CEMAC. Suite à la crise sanitaire du Covid-19, dont les effets s’estompent progressivement, cette étude propose également des éléments nouveaux afin d’assurer une meilleure relance de l’activité touristique dans l’espace CEMAC.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Introduction:
To investigate the differences in the professional and personal life and the perception of gender-bias, among Italian female surgeons working in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS), as compared to those involved in other surgical fields (overall group [OG]).

Materials and Methods:
An online survey was administered to female medical doctors working in all surgical fields in Italian hospitals.

Results:
Of the 1963 responders included, 153 (7.8%) were part of the ONHS group and 1810 (92.3%) of the OG. In both cohorts, female represented approximately one-third of the surgical staff. At least one female in the staff did not regularly attend the operating room (OR), especially in the OHNSG group. OHNS responders had to abandon the surgical activities in favour of outpatient services more than OG. A higher proportion of OHNS surgeons encountered gender-related difficulties in the OR.

Discussion:
Several gender-related issues emerged among OHNS responders, the most relevant being involvement in surgical activities and number/complexity of surgical cases.
Soft-Tissue Augmentation in Periodontally Compromised Patients during Immediate Placement and Immediate Loading Dental Implant Surgery - A Retrospective Study
Authors: Lazarov Aleksandar 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Introduction:
The purpose of this article is to describe a soft-tissue augmentation procedure for multiple tooth extraction sites during immediate placement and immediate loading (IPIL) dental implant surgery in periodontally compromised patients and to present follow-up results of its effectiveness.

Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted on data from patients who underwent IPIL dental implant surgery between 2018 and 2021 at an oral implant centre in Bulgaria. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 103 patients were included, 53 of whom had pre-operative indications for connective tissue grafts (CTGs) and 50 of whom did not. The post-operative incidence of gum recession was evaluated in the two patient groups.

Results:
The majority of the 53 patients (56.60%) had six, seven or eight tooth sites grafted. A significant proportion (87%) needed CTGs at the canine teeth (13 and 23), P < 0.001. The post-operative data showed a low incidence of gum recessions in both the patient groups, with a lower rate in the CTG group at tooth no: 13 (2.20% vs. 18%, P = 0.016) and in the total sum of 10 tooth sites with CTGs (P = 0.001). A reduction in gum problems and increased satisfaction with gum health and aesthetics were reported by 100% of the CTG patients.

Discussion:
Soft-tissue augmentation at multiple tooth extraction sites during IPIL dental implant treatment may benefit periodontally compromised patients through an improved prosthesis–tissue interface in the aesthetic area and a reduction in gum infections, swelling, bleeding and pain.
Current Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy Services for Children with Cerebral Palsy in India
Authors: Missal Sujata , Bidhya K. M. 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common cause of chronic childhood disability and constitutes a substantial portion of paediatric occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) practices. An analysis of current rehabilitation practices is necessary to use more recent, evidence-based, and effective treatment modalities. This study intends to explore the current rehabilitation trends in assessing and planning interventions for children with CP in India and finding the focus and gaps in treatment.

Objectives:
To describe the focus of therapy practices in OT and PT for children with CP and better understand whether it is congruent with recommended practices.

Study Design:
A cross-sectional survey.

Methods:
An India-wide web-based survey on “Rehabilitation services for children with CP: A survey of what we do and how we individualize treatment for different children” (self-designed questionnaire) was completed by 50 occupational and 12 physical therapists to identify assessments and treatment interventions based on their clinical practice. Data were coded using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) definitions for “body functions and structure,” “activity and participation,” and “environment.” Descriptive and quantitative statistics were used to identify the focus and gaps.

Results:
Both professions focused primarily on body structure and function assessment (OT: 28 [56%] and PT: 8 [66.7%]) when assessing and intervening. “Activity and participation” related assessment was focussed more by physiotherapists 4 (33.3%) than occupational therapists 15 (30%). Majority 44 (71.09%) of the therapists chose interventions that came under the ICF category: Activity and participation. While the percentage of therapists focussing on body structure and function and contextual factors interventions were 28 (45.02%) and 32 (52.27%), respectively. Attention, however, was mainly directed toward task-oriented activities such as activities of daily living and mobility 49 (79%). Participation in leisure or community-based activities received comparatively least attention 35 (56.5%). The environment received limited attention for assessments, although it was an important focus of intervention (environment modifications: 47 [75.8%]).OTs focused more on sensory components (U = 173.000, P = 0.019, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.017 to 0.022, mdn = 1.00) and, PTs focused more on gait (U = 192.000, P = 0.046, 95% CI: 0.0.039 to 0.047, mdn = 2.00) and trunk impairment (U = 129.000, P = 0.001, 95% CI: 0.0.000 to 0.001, mdn = 1.00).

Conclusion:
While body functions and structure are well-addressed, other ICF elements, specifically participation, are poorly integrated into practice. The emerging focus on the environment in therapy intervention, by modifying the context rather than changing aspects of the child, is consistent with current approaches and evidence. Knowledge translation implementation initiatives are recommended to bridge identified gaps.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia. Diabetes mellitus is a silent killer because sufferers are often not aware of it when it is realized, complications have occurred. Treatment for this disease must be done for life to control blood sugar in the body; however, oral antidiabetic drugs often produce unwanted side effects such as bloating, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. One of the treatments for diabetes is to find sources of treatment using natural ingredients that are relatively safe, including using plants as medicines. Based on several studies, Binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia Ten. Steenis), brotowali (Tinospora crispa L.), and cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) are medicinal plants that can be used to reduce blood sugar levels. This study aims to test the antidiabetic activity using in vivo and in vitro testing methods of extracts of binahong leaves, cherry leaves, brotowali stems and their combinations.

Methods:

In vivo method uses animal modeling of insulin deficiency, whereas in vitro method with alpha glycosidase inhibition activity assay. The administration of extracts was repeated every day for 14 days and blood glucose levels were measured on the 0, 7th, and 14th days. Then surgery was performed on the pancreas and calculated the area of the islets of Langerhans, and the number of alpha and beta cells in the pancreas. The inhibitory activity of the alpha-glucosidase enzyme with the IC50 value of each extract and its combination was determined, with acarbose used as a standard.

Result:
The combination of binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia Ten.Steenis) and cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura L.) and the combination of brotowali stems (Tinospora crispa (L.) and binahong leaves showed in vivo antidiabetic activity with insulin deficiency method. The combination of these extracts was able to reduce blood sugar levels until the observation on day 14. In in vitro testing by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase enzymes, binahong leaves extract, brotowali stems, and cherry leaves were able to inhibit alpha-glucosidase enzymes at IC50 of 35.07 ± 2.35; 29.42 ± 1.40; and 26.63 ± 1.15, respectively.

Conclusion:
The best combination of extracts by in vitro and in vivo methods was shown in the combination of binahong leaf and brotowal stem extract binahong leaves, brotowali stems (2:1).

Published: June 2023

Aim: Family functioning and quality of life are related. This study was to examine the association of family functioning in families of children/adolescents who had undergone organ transplantation and the quality of life of these children/adolescents and their parents. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study collected research data using the following tools: Child Information Form, Parent Information Form, Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire, Parent Quality of Life Assessment Scale, and Family Assessment Device. Results: This study found that the quality of life mean scores of children and parents were low. There was a positive relationship between the general quality of life of children who underwent organ transplantation and their psychosocial quality of life and the quality of life of their parents. This study also found a negative relationship between the psychosocial quality of life of children who had undergone organ transplantation and the subdimensions of roles, affective responsiveness, behavioral control, and general family functioning. Conclusion: This study showed that the quality of life levels of children who have undergone organ transplantation and of their parents may be low and may be associated to each other, which may lead family functioning to be negative.
