L’harmonisation des mesures d’adaptation au changement climatique dans la planification territoriale
Authors: Neglo Asseye 
Published: June 2022

Les catastrophes naturelles et leurs conséquences, couplées à la vulnérabilité des populations et auxproblématiques sociales, ont provoqué des réformes politiques, sociales, économiques et environnementales dans plusieurs régions du monde. Ces évènements ont des impacts sur le développement des sociétés et ont entraîné un changement de paradigme dans la vision du développement des territoires. À cet effet, la planification territoriale ne se limite plus aux aspects socioéconomiques, mais aussi aux aspects environnementaux et éthiques intégrés au concept de développement durable. Cependant, les mesures d’adaptation à ces problématiques causées par le changement climatique mondial ne sont pas réellement prises en compte dans les plans de développement des territoires, ce qui met en évidence un problème d’harmonisation des mesures, sur lequel portera notre analyse.
Natural disasters and their consequences, along with the vulnerability of populations and social issues, have led to political, social, economic and environmental reforms in numerous areas of the world. These events had impacts on the development of societies and led to a paradigm shift in the vision of territorial development. Land use planning is therefore no longer limited to socio-economic aspects, but also to environmental and ethical aspects that are integrated into the sustainable development concept. However, the adaptation measures taken against problems caused by global climate change are not actually taken into account in territorial development plans. This highlights a problem of measure harmonization, that our analysis focuses on.
Innovation sociale et barrières institutionnelles : cheminer des acteurs externes vers les institutions
Authors: St-Pierre Mikael 
Published: June 2022

L’innovation sociale suscite un intérêt grandissant de la part des administrations municipales. Or, l’adoption de processus d’innovation sociale par une organisation municipale comporte son lot d’ajustements auxarrangements institutionnels. Cet article s’intéresse au développement et à la promotion de processus d’innovation sociale par des acteurs non gouvernementaux à l’échelle municipale. L’objectif est d’identifier les barrières institutionnelles et bureaucratiques à l’innovation sociale, et d’offrir un cadre conceptuel aux praticiens faisant face à cet enjeu afin de favoriser le franchissement de ces barrières.
Social innovation is attracting growing interest from municipal governments. However, the adoption of social innovation processes by a municipal organization involves adjustments to the institutional arrangements. This article focuses on the development and promotion of social innovation processes by municipal non-governmental actors. The objective is to identify the institutional and bureaucratic barriers to social innovation, and to offer a conceptual framework to practitioners facing this problem to help overcome these barriers.
Wilhelm Wundt through the Eyes of a Student from Lithuania: Records in the Diary of Vytautas Civinskis Related to Psychology Lectures at Leipzig in 1905
Authors: Almonaitienė Junona S. , Girininkaitė Veronika 
Published: June 2022

The article addresses aspects of the connections between Wilhelm Wundt and Lithuania. It is introduced by briefly mentioning facts known from previous research about Lithuanians who studied at Wundt’s Institute of Experimental Psychology at Leipzig, and those who chose Wundt’s work as the object of their research. In the main part of the article, for the first time, excerpts from a manuscript with Lithuanian student’s impressions about Wundt’s psychology lectures he attended are published in Lithuanian and in original multilingual text. It was written by Vytautas Civinskis (Polish Witold Cywiński, 1887–1910), the student of agricultural sciences at Leipzig University, in his Diary in 1905. Although small in volume and written by a very young person, these recordings are interesting as an authentic testimony. According to the available data, this is the only surviving archival document of such kind written by a student from Lithuania. From the document, it is possible to deduce how the student evaluated Wundt as a lecturer, what were the content and form of his lectures, as well as the physical, social and intellectual environment at Leipzig, and what opportunities all that provided for students. The mentioned aspects are discussed in the comments of the archival materials. It is concluded that bringing to awareness the fact of existence of the student’s Diary entries related to Wundt’s lectures complements the Lithuanian psychology history quite significantly, and their content reveals Wundt’s attention to the philosophical basis of experimental psychology, psychophysiology, the details of several experiments he demonstrated.

Published: June 2022

The paper presents a comparative analysis of sociological data concerning teachers working in the Sverdlovsk region (Russian Federation). The data were collected in 1989, 2016, and 2021. The surveys investigated social ideas and stereotypes reflecting public attitudes towards teachers in Russia and teaching communities. The research is based on a hybrid multi-paradigm methodology comprising systemic, structural, functional, generalized, temporal, and procedural descriptions. We used the data obtained from questionnaires surveying teachers in 1989 (n = 1183 participants), 2016 (n = 529 participants), 2021 (n = 412 participants). Data processing was carried out with the help of the VORTEX software application.The comparative data analysis demonstrated that, while the proportion of female teachers and teachers of older age groups has increased over three decades, this has been accompanied by an increase in the education level. It is significant that the motivation for selecting the teaching profession and overall levels of satisfaction remained the same. However, at the same time, assessments of the possibility to advance through a teaching career and professional well-being have noticeably deteriorated. Among key factors affecting teachers’ satisfaction are physical conditions, low wages, lack of time for private life and the stress of endless school reforms. All of this has led to a decline in the prestige of the teaching profession along with the formation of a negative image. The paper describes efforts required to ensure the enhancement of the teaching profession in the Russian Federation.

Aim. To assess the clinical efficacy of preventing gastroesophageal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis.Materials and methods. From 2008 to 2019, the surgical treatment of 710 patients with cirrhosis was considered. The long-term results of preventing gastroesophageal variceal rebleeding were studied in three groups of patients: portosystemic shunt placement (367 patients), total esophagogastric disconnection (62 patients), and endoscopic procedures (281 patients). Observation periods varied from 1 to 115 months.Results. The lowest rebleeding rate of 15.5% was observed following shunt placement (χ2 = 9.728; df = 2; р = 0.008), while the highest rate of 40.9% was observed following endoscopic treatment. By the 5th year of follow-up, only 37.5% of patients showed no signs of bleeding following endoscopic procedures. The percentage of patients who did not experience true gastroesophageal variceal rebleeding amounted to 44%, 76%, and 85% following shunt placement, total esophagogastric disconnection, and endoscopic procedures, respectively (p < 0.05).Conclusion. Irrespective of the selected procedure, all patients with cirrhosis suffer from portal rebleeding in the longterm period. However, the lowest rebleeding rate is observed following portosystemic shunt placement.

Aim. To analyze various strategies aimed at mitigating complications of the portal hypertension syndrome at the Minsk Scientific and Practical Center for Surgery, Transplantology, and Hematology.Material and methods. Patients who had undergone different types of treatment were retrospectively observed: shunt surgery to form portacaval anastomoses, transjugular portosystemic shunt placement, and liver transplantation. The following parameters were analyzed: incidence of complications, hospital mortality rate, survival rate, and perioperative indicators.Results. Since 1980, 131 shunt surgeries have been performed at the Center, while 880 liver transplantations and 232 transjugular portosystemic shunt placement procedures have been performed since 2008. Among 68 patients with compensated cirrhosis who had undergone shunt placement, no hospital mortality rate was reported, whereas in patients with Child-Pugh B cirrhosis and Child–Pugh C cirrhosis, it reached 19.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Following TIPS, the overall case mortality rate amounted to 9.9% (following TIPS prior to transplantation – 8.2%, following TIPS used as the final treatment – 12.8%). After liver transplantation, in-hospital mortality rate reached 7.7%.Conclusion. Over 50 years, the strategy for managing portal hypertension has undergone significant changes due to the establishment of institutions providing a complete cycle of all treatment measures for such patients. Patients suffering from the complications of the portal hypertension syndrome tend to receive the most effective treatment in hospitals having experience in rational conservative therapy, endovascular procedures, and transplantation.

Aim. To analyze the results of minimally invasive techniques to prevent and treat gastroesophageal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis.Materials and methods. The study included 997 patients with liver cirrhosis: Child-Pugh class A – 21.7%; class B – 48.8%; class C – 29.5%. Esophageal varices of Grades III–IV were diagnosed in 95.5% of the patients, while gastric varices were observed in 17.4% of the patients. The following methods were used: endoscopic ligation, endoscopic sclerotherapy, TIPS, laparoscopic azygoportal disconnection, and distal splenorenal anastomosis.Results. Following endoscopic procedures aimed at preventing the onset of gastroesophageal bleeding, variceal recurrence and bleeding were observed in 35.9% and 18.6% of cases, respectively. The efficacy of endoscopic ligation in case of bleeding amounted to 91.2%. Multiple endoscopic procedures provided means to treat esophageal and gastric varices in 56.2% of the patients. Rebleeding was observed in 9.3% of the patients, while esophageal and gastric varices persisted in 34.3% of the patients. TIPS was found to significantly reduce portal pressure and the grade of varices, with encephalopathy developing in 41.4% of the patients. In the long-term period, stent dysfunction was diagnosed in 22.5% of cases, while bleeding recurred in 10%. Laparoscopic azygoportal disconnection contributed to the regression of esophageal and gastric varices. In the long-term period, bleeding recurred in 42.3% of cases. Laparoscopic distal splenorenal anastomosis reliably prevented the recurrence of bleeding. No shunt thrombosis or lethal outcomes were observed, while the incidence of encephalopathy amounted to 14.7%.Conclusion. A sufficient number of minimally invasive methods are currently available in the treatment and prevention of gastroesophageal portal bleeding. A case-specific approach to the choice of measures aimed at treating and preventing gastroesophageal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis is required, taking into account the degree of decompensation of portal hypertension and the severity of liver dysfunction.
Audit Committee and the Amendments of Quarterly Financial Reports among Malaysian Companies

Published: June 2022

One of the tasks of an audit committee is to ensure the reliability of financial reports. The prevailing amendments of the quarterly reports among companies however question the effectiveness of audit committees. This paper examines the association between audit committee characteristics (independence, expertise, and activities of audit committees) and the amendments of quarterly financial reports of Malaysian companies. Control variables, namely size of the board of directors, size of company, profitability, and auditor are also included in this study. In this study, each of the 63 sampled companies that amended their quarterly reports in 2005 is matched with a company that did not make any amendments. The univariate analysis shows that companies that amend their quarterly reports are likely to be those having audit committees that are less independent, and are comprised of less than two financial experts. They also tend to have a smaller board of directors. Consistent with the univariate test, results of the regression test indicate that companies having audit committees with two or more financial experts are less likely to amend their quarterly reports. Although other variables (except for auditor) appear to have a negative association with amendments, statistically the association is insignificant. This study also observed that most of the amendments are due to oversight, mathematical mistakes, and typographical errors. The findings suggest that to be effective, audit committees should have more than one financial expert.

Published: June 2022

To highlight the clinical and electroencephalographic features, treatment strategies and outcome in atypical variant of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS). Subject underwent video electroencephalograph (EEG), high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), neuropsychological evaluation and language assessment and response to medication was followed up. In addition to sodium valproate, treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone (given as monthly bolus doses) was given as the seizures remained refractory to anti-seizure medications (ASM) alone. Earlier onset, increased frequency and duration of focal seizures compared to prototype Rolandic epilepsy are cardinal features suggestive of atypical variant of BECTS. Head drop and truncal sway due to axial or axiorhizomelic atonia occurring several times per day or week was the key manifestation. When the atypical seizures commenced, one or more of the following problems can occur: hyperactivity, attention deficit, and mild cognitive or language dysfunction. Child became seizure free on a combination of intravenous methylprednisolone, with sodium valproate and his hyperactivity reversed. BECTS in children with an early age of onset, frequent and prolonged seizures and scholastic decline pari passu with seizure onset are more likely to evolve into atonic-BECTS. Carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and some benzodiazepines may worsen these seizures. They can become seizure free with immunomodulatory therapy, namely methylprednisolone (given as monthly bolus doses) or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and have complete resolution of the transient motor and cognitive impairment. Atonic-BECTS needs to be differentiated from Lennox–Gastaut syndrome since it is potentially treatable and children recover with no sequel.

: Posterior circulation strokes account for approximately 15% of all strokes with diverse clinical presentation. They are different from anterior circulation strokes, with reference to risk factors, clinical features, management stratergy and prognosis. We conducted a study in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Eastern India to understand the clinical profile of patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke. : The study was conducted at Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, with a total of 282 patients during the period from January 2020 to June 2021 (Eighteen months). A detailed medical history and clinical examination aided with neuro-imaging was done in all patients. : Incidence of posterior circulation ischemic stroke was 16.2%. The male to female ratio being 2.27:1, the mean age at presentation was 54.4 (± 13.6) years. Diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and tobacco use were identified as the major risk factors. The common clinical manifestations were motor disturbances, vertigo, gait ataxia, cranial nerve deficits, altered sensorium and visual disturbances. Infratentorial infarcts were seen more frequently and most common anatomical site of involvement was cerebellum (30.5%). Large artery diseases (58.8%) were the most common aetiological causes and 15.6% had cardioembolic source according to TOAST Criteria. Posterior cerebral artery involvement was the most common (43.6%) finding and the incidence of mortality was 6.3% noted in our series.

To report the clinical features, radiological features and outcomes of patients with diffuse axonal injury in a tertiary care centre. Fifty five patients with history of trauma with low GCS and radiological evidence of DAI were studied from August 2016 to December 2018. It consisted 46 (84%) males and 9 (16%) females. Majority of the patients were in age group of 16-25. Most common modality of injury was RTA. Seven (12.7%) patients had grade 1 DAI, 36 (65.5%) patients had grade 2 DAI and 12 (21.8%) patients had grade 3 DAI. Follow up was done after 3 months of injury. Patients outcome was analysed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale. Patients with GCS 3-8 had GOS 1-3. Patients with GCS of 9-12 had GOS of 3-4 and Patients with GCS of 13-15 had GOS of 4-5. Most patients in our study had grade 2 DAI and GOS 4. Diffuse axonal injury is devastating types of traumatic brain injury. The acceleration-deceleration mechanism is responsible for DAI. It is most commonly analyzed based on the outcomes of GOS Scale. Most of the patients in this study had grade 2 DAI. Good recovery was seen in grade 1 and 2 DAI and high mortality in grade 3 DAI.
Periodontitis and pregnancy outcomes
Authors: Mehta Anita , Mittal Isham , kaur Mandeep 
Published: June 2022

Placental and Periodontal environment have common aspects which suggests that periodontal microorganisms that enter the circulation and seed the placenta may find a niche that can support infection. When periodontal pathogens are being assessed, the timing of the seeding of the placenta for their possible contribution to adverse pregnancy outcomes can be challenging to determine. Samples from the placenta are generally taken at the time of delivery, and therefore when infection occurred, it is unknown. If a woman is considering becoming pregnant, and periodontitis is present, periodontal treatment should occur prior to the pregnancy as seeding occurs in the first trimester. The presence of periodontal bacteria (i.e. F.nucleatum and P.gingivalis) in the placenta does not itself constitute evidence of cause and effect regarding adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Immediate implant placement is becoming a routine procedure in esthetic dentistry. The need for placing implant immediately post extraction helps reduce the alveolar ridge resorption and also maintain good soft tissue contours post placing the implant and during rehabilitation. However, a cause of concern occurs when the buccal cortical plate is thin, especially in the upper anterior region. This poses a direct implication in the maintenance of primary stability and buccal contour of both hard and soft tissues, thus compromising esthetics. Socket shield technique is a recent advancement in placing immediate implant post extraction. The maintenance of buccal root section helps retain both the compromised buccal cortical plate and soft tissue contour thus providing a better esthetic profile. In view of the same, two patients were provided immediate implants with socket shield technique; one with immediate loading of implant and other with delayed loading method and post operative radiographic analysis was carried out to evaluate bone density around the implant.
