Published: June 2022

Engine mounts play a vital role in reduction of noise and vibration. For an internal combustion engine, there exist two basic dynamic disturbances: a) the firing pulse due to the combustion of fuel in the cylinder and b) the inertia force and torque caused by the rotating and reciprocating parts. The firing pulses will cause a torque to act on the engine block about an axis parallel to the crank. The inertial forces are both parallel to the piston axis and perpendicular to the crank and piston axes. This dissertation describes the finite element approach for modal and static structural analysis of the engine mount used on an inline four-cylinder petrol engine. A 3D model of the mount was created with the help of Solid-Edge V19 software and the same was analysed for natural frequencies and total deformation using Ansys Workbench software. Further, torsional stiffness of the mount was obtained using finite element analysis and validated using experimental testing. Viscoelastic behaviour of rubber has also been discussed with the help of a Generalized Maxwell model (GMM). GMM was chosen after reviewing all the commonly used models. Later, an in-depth analysis of transmissibility was carried out using finite element analysis approach and a 6-DOF Mathematical model approach. Random vibration analysis was carried out and the resulting RMS accelerations were compared with the ISO-2631 standard.

The purpose of the study is to analyse the impact of the investment component on the development of the Recreational and Tourist Industry (RTI), and to perform a comprehensive analysis in order to elaborate a strategic development plan for the sector. Using the matrix method of research and mathematical method of rating, the general strategic direction of development of the recreational and tourism sphere of each region of Ukraine was estimated and chosen. We have developed a matrix "Recreational potential – RTI investment support", which consists of six quadrants and characterizes the long-term attractiveness of the recreational and tourist sphere and its investment level in the market of recreation, entertainment, and sports. The level of income per capita and the level of investment in collective accommodation facilities were investigated. This allowed to determine: (1) which regions need investments for the development of the recreational and tourist sphere as one of the priority areas; (2) which regions already have a sufficient level of cash flow in the recreational sphere, and finally, (3) which regions need careful analysis with the following elaboration of an alternative direction for recreation development in these regions. Based on two indicators, i.e. investment level and recreational potential, a matrix consisting of 6 quadrants was constructed. All regions of Ukraine were classified in this matrix. The results of the study will have implications for the industry, allowing authorities of different levels to formulate a rational policy for the development of the tourism industry.

Abstract

Acute appendicitis is associated with a relatively high mortality rate among elderly patients due to the unusual clinical presentation that often leads to misdiagnosis and, in turn, severe complications.
This report describes an extremely uncommon clinical manifestation of acute appendicitis in an elderly patient - a subcutaneous abdominal wall abscess initially treated as cellulitis. Despite the initial misdiagnosis, contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a circumscribed inflammatory process of the appendix that was in close proximity to the abdominal wall. The patient underwent a surgical drainage of the abscess, received broad-spectrum antibiotics, and was discharged on day 12 following an uneventful course.
Diagnosis of acute appendicitis in elderly patients is challenging due to the atypical clinical presentation and co-existing comorbidities that can be misleading. Early application of high-resolution imaging techniques is necessary to identify the cause of acute abdomen in the elderly population.

Abstract

Bezoars are accumulations in the gastrointestinal tract caused by intentional or unintentional consumption of indigestible materials. After food and mucus impaction they become solid masses with different sizes, presenting with various non-specific symptoms. Current treatment options for bezoars include enzymatic dissolution, endoscopic fragmentation and removal, and surgical removal.
Herein, we report two cases with an abdominal trichobezoar due to trichophagia presenting with mild atypical symptoms and requiring surgical removal. The patients had no underlying psychological and behavioral deviations, psychiatric disorders, stressful or traumatic live events that may trigger the condition. We present our approach to making the diagnosis, the challenges we met, and our treatment strategy.
Trichobezoar should not be forgotten as part of the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and abdominal mass in children and adolescent.
Mieux qu’un compromis, une troisième voie : le panier de brevets pour accélérer l’accès aux vaccins et traitements contre la COVID-19
Authors: Billette de Villemeur Etienne , Dequiedt Vianney , Versaevel Bruno 
Published: June 2022

Le débat sur la propriété intellectuelle qu’a suscité l’épidémie de COVID-19 tend à considérer vaccins et traitements comme de simples produits dont il suffirait de diffuser la recette de fabrication pour permettre leur accès à tous, et notamment aux populations des pays en développement. Quand on prend en compte le fait que la production des vaccins et traitements fait en réalité appel à de multiples technologies brevetées par plusieurs entités distinctes, ce débat s’enrichit : une troisième voie peut être identifiée, qui est à la fois plus équilibrée que les options du simple maintien ou au contraire de la suspension des brevets sur lesquelles se focalisent les discussions, sans pour autant se réduire à un simple compromis entre ces deux extrêmes. Cet article propose un modèle permettant d’analyser les conséquences de la mise en place d’un panier de brevets dont la mission est d’améliorer l’accès aux produits sur le marché final. Sa politique tarifaire est comparée avec deux scénarios de référence correspondant à l’absence de panier de brevets, d’une part, et à l’existence d’un panier cherchant à maximiser le profit des innovateurs, d’autre part. L’analyse permet de mettre en lumière le rôle positif que peut jouer une organisation à but non lucratif telle que le Medicines Patent Pool dans la gouvernance mondiale de la réponse à la pandémie.
Clint Eastwood ou la possibilité du miracle
Authors: Nieuwjaer Raphaël 
Published: June 2022

Plus vieux cinéaste hollywoodien en activité, Clint Eastwood, né en 1930, est aussi le plus productif conteur de la mémoire américaine, de ses légendes comme des vies plus ordinaires, hanté par la question de la transmission de l’héritage et la possibilité du salut. Ce texte propose un parcours à travers quelques-uns des huit films réalisés durant la dernière décennie marquée par les conséquences politiques et psychologiques des attentats du 11-Septembre, de J. Edgar (2011) à Cry Macho (2021).
Regard sociolinguistique sur les arts de faire d’élèves plurilingues en classe de français
Authors: Miguel Addisu Véronique 
Published: June 2022

Pour des élèves plurilingues apprenant à l’école en français, le français est un enjeu majeur de la construction identitaire. Quelles sont leurs stratégies langagières pour apprendre ? Nous les étudierons en tant qu’arts de faire « certaliens » (liés à la pensée de Michel de Certeau), sociolinguistiquement situés. L’étude ethnographique menée dans trois contextes contrastés suggère que les stratégies d’accommodation aux normes sociolangagières relèvent de logiques domestiques évolutives et peu didactisées, mais dépendantes de l’école. Elles peuvent à la fois soutenir les apprentissages et être perçues (ou investies) comme résistantes à l’ordre scolaire.
Le graffite de la villa de Poulainville (cité des Ambiens) : devis ou jeu de marelle ?
Authors: Hoët-Van Cauwenberghe Christine 
Published: June 2022

Le graffite de la villa de Poulainville a été réalisé à la pointe post cocturam sur un fragment d’amphore. On distingue deux éléments : un quadrillage simple et un texte d’une ligne. Le tesson a été brisé, endommageant à la fois le texte et l’image. Les croisillons font penser soit à ceux d’une balustrade ou d’un balcon et le texte pourrait être lu comme une référence, peut-être suivie d’un prix, désormais disparu, à des travaux. L’autre hypothèse serait d’y reconnaître une grille de jeu et le nom de la personne à qui il était destiné. Ce serait alors un jeu de marelle classique.
Les mosaïques de Daphné : découverte, premières études, problèmes de datation
Authors: Balty Janine 
Published: June 2022

La mosaïque de chasse de Yaqto (Daphné) avait été datée par J. Lassus vers 459, en raison de la représentation, sur sa bordure, du bain d’Ardabur (présent à Antioche de 450 à 466). Cette date était reprise par D. Levi. Cinq autres pavements à thèmes animaliers y étaient en revanche estimés plus tardifs (vers 520). Cette étude vise à montrer que l’important décalage de dates (de 459 à 520) est la conséquence d’une analyse stylistique erronée (confondant style et facture) ; de nombreuses découvertes récentes permettent d’affirmer que la mode des thèmes de chasse sur mosaïque s’est implantée en Syrie du Nord dès avant le milieu du ve siècle, atteignant son apogée entre 460 et 490. En outre, le type de coiffure des chasseurs trouve des parallèles sur les portraits en ronde-bosse du ve siècle.
Le temple ionique de Bziza : architecture et transformations
Authors: Kahwagi-Janho Hany 
Published: June 2022

Le temple ionique de Bziza est l’un des temples les mieux conservés du Liban. Prostyle tétrastyle, le monument se dresse sur un podium bien plus large que la surface de sa cella et qui semble avoir fait partie du projet avorté d’un temple périptère. Le portail à l’entablement richement décoré et l’aspect décoratif des chapiteaux nous permettent de dater le monument du milieu du iie s. apr. J.-C. À l’époque médiévale, le monument fut transformé en une église biconque, dont il ne subsiste aujourd’hui que le chevet, constitué de deux absides qui occupent son côté nord-est.
Sur la route de Palmyre à Apamée. Note préliminaire à propos des bornes milliaires romaines retrouvées à l’ouest de Palmyre et de leur contexte géomorphologique

Published: June 2022

Lors d’une prospection archéologique menée en Palmyrène occidentale par la Mission syro-italienne ont été mises au jour 16 bornes milliaires, dont certaines portaient des inscriptions encore lisibles. Découverts sur la route menant de Palmyre à Apamée sur l’Oronte, ces milliaires datent principalement de l’époque des Sévères, avec une première intervention en 198, suivie d’une restauration en 212 (ou 213). Des travaux plus tardifs semblent pouvoir être mis en lien avec l’achèvement de la Strata Diocletiana à la fin du iiie s. Les milliaires montrent que cette route constituait un axe majeur entre Palmyre et les centres de la vallée de l’Oronte, ce qui lui confère d’importantes fonctions stratégiques, militaires et commerciales. Une étude préliminaire de l’état actuel de la route et de ses milliaires permet aussi de restituer l’évolution des conditions environnementales de la région entre la période romaine et l’Antiquité tardive. L’oasis de Palmyre était plus étendue que de nos jours et entourée par une bande de terres propices à l’agriculture. L’emplacement des bornes milliaires le long de la traversée de l’un des principaux oueds de la région semble indiquer la stabilité des conditions hydrographiques à l’époque romaine. Plus tard, à l’époque tardive, la région a connu une dégradation environnementale majeure qui a entraîné une érosion éolienne intensive des sols et des inondations catastrophiques.

More attention is needed for the protection of adolescent's mental health and fills mental health gaps in services.
Factors Influencing Survival Outcome in Deceased Renal Transplant Recipients
Authors: Pal Dilip Kumar , Chaudhury Arpita Ray , Verma Ankit , Jana Debarshi 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Renal replacement therapy is the gold standard treatment of end-stage renal disease. Since the number of cases of chronic kidney diseases are increasing exponentially in our country, only live-related transplant is not enough to bridge the gap between disease and their treatment which increased the demand for deceased renal transplant program in our country.

Objective:
The objective is to study donors and recipients' characteristics for association with survival of patients in deceased renal allograft transplant.

Materials and Methods:
It is an ambispective observational analysis of 42 deceased donor renal transplants performed in our institute from January 2012 to December 2019. The difference among donors and recipients' characteristics was analyzed for association with the outcome for survival or death of the patient. Statistical analysis was done using SSPS 21.0 software and P value < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.

Results:
In association with survival and expired outcomes, donors and recipients age, donors sex, cause of brain death (traumatic/nontraumatic), standard or extended criteria of donor, serum creatinine at the time of death, dialysis vintage period, warm and cold ischemia time, duration of hospital stay had shown no significant association with survival. While donors' urine output at the time of death, recipients sex, previous sensitization of recipients either by previous episodes of blood transfusion or pregnancy, achievement of normal renal function at day 14 of transplant, and tacrolimus level at 1 month of transplant shown significant association with the outcome.

Conclusion:
Deceased donors' characteristics, mainly urine output at death, recipients characteristic, namely any previous sensitization, achievement of normal renal function at day 14, serum tacrolimus level at 1-month posttransplant have a significant association with survival of deceased renal allograft transplant recipients. Sepsis and severe acidosis were the main complications contributing to mortality.
A Prospective Comparative Study from India between Living Genetically Related and Unrelated Donor Renal Transplants
Authors: Agarwal Nitin , Rana Anil Kumar Singh , Jain Aakansh 
Published: June 2022

Background:
India has a significant backlog in terms of renal transplant waiting lists, and progress of deceased donor transplant is limited by social and cultural hurdles. Newer strategies in living donation are needed.

Materials and Methods:
A prospective comparative study was conducted at our tertiary hospital over 3 years, between living related donor (LRD) and living unrelated donor (LURD) renal transplant outcomes, chiefly acute rejection and graft dysfunction. Confounding variables and outcome parameters such as mortality, hospital stay >21 days, and complications were recorded for 6 months.

Results:
LRD (n = 78) and LURD (n = 42) groups differed significantly in median recipient age (25 [22–34] vs. 40 [33–50] years; P < 0.001) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches >3 (3/78 [3.8%] vs. 32/78 [76.2%]; P < 0.001, respectively). Yet, there was no significant difference in donor age, gender, immunosuppression, preoperative hemodialysis, nephrectomy time, or warm ischemia time. No significant difference was noted between LRD and LURD in acute rejection rate, graft dysfunction at 1 week and 6 months, mortality, hospital stay >21 days, or complication rate. Among factors predictive for acute rejection, only anastomotic time had a significant association (β coefficient = 0.006 [0.001–0.010]; Pearson's coefficient “r” =0.208; P < 0.01), while for early graft dysfunction, it was only mean donor nephrectomy time in minutes (β coefficient=-0.002 [−0.004–0.000]; Pearson's coefficient “r” = −0.158; P = 0.042).

Conclusion:
Despite differences in HLA-mismatches and age, LRD and LURD had a similar short-term outcome with respect to acute rejection and graft dysfunction. This is linked to better and standardized immunosuppression available, making it possible to expand the scope of LURD beyond spousal, within the legal and ethical boundaries.

Authors: Hemrajani Priyanka , Sharath Kumar B. C. , Sharma Mona 
Published: June 2022

Introduction:
Ichthyosis are a heterogeneous group of hereditary skin disorders characterized by dryness, hyperkeratosis, and desquamation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate quality of life (QoL) of patients with ichthyosis and their families.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 72 patients were enrolled and 60 patients completed the study. The study instrument included Infants' Dermatitis Life Quality Index and Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index for pediatric patients (5–16 years) and Dermatitis Family Impact Questionnaire (DFI) for family members.

Results:
Questionnaires were completed in 60 children. The patients had predominantly ichthyosis vulgaris (n = 46), lamellar ichthyosis (n = 10), nonbullous ichthyosiform erythroderma (n = 3), and bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma (n = 1). Male: female ratio was 1:1.5. Large effect on QoL was seen in 77.8% and 66.6% of ichthyosis vulgaris and lamellar, ichthyosis, respectively. Mean score of DFI was 9.94 ± 7.23.

Conclusion:
The present study reports a poor QoL among pediatric patients suffering from ichthyosis and their families. Psychosocial and mental support is needed for patients and their immediate caregivers/families for this chronic skin disease.
Compliance with COTPA (Packaging and Labeling) Rules, 2008 and its amendments in smokeless tobacco products sold across Mangaluru taluk, Karnataka, India
Authors: Dinakar Chethana , Shetty Deepthi , Shetty Pushparaja 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
India introduced the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) (Packaging and Labeling [P and L]) Rules in 2008. These rules utilize the tobacco package to communicate tobacco-caused harms; it also seeks to restrict the delivery of misleading information about the product on the pack. The enormous burden of tobacco-related oral cancers in India necessitates the compliance with the law regarding presentation of information in powerful and salient ways, intentionally designed to increase the awareness in target individuals.

Objectives:
The objectives of the study are to assess the compliance to implementation and enforcement of the COTPA (P and L) Rules, 2008 and its amendments in 2014 and 2018.

Materials and Methods:
Chewing tobacco products were retrieved and evaluated for compliance with the law. The specified pictorial and textual health warnings, area, clarity, rotation, and language were assessed as per the recommendations.

Results and Conclusion:
Even though chewing tobacco products in India have introduced pictorial and textual health warnings, majority of them do not comply with the law. The products displayed the specified health warnings on a total of 70.6% on average, failing to abide by the government-specified average of 85%. 50% of the products did not follow the rotation of pictorial and textual health warning even after completion of the interregnum period of 12 months (September 2019). To ensure consumers’ right to be informed about the health risks from a product, all the details regarding the contents, health warnings and messages, and product care instructions must be mentioned as specified under the law.
