Authors: Chandak Kamala , Dabhekar Shalaka , Bhuya Archana , Umekar Dr. Milind 
Published: June 2022

Background: Andrographis paniculata (Acanthaceae) is an annual herb and the whole herb is traditionally reported to be used in treatment of diabetes mellitus.
Objective: To investigate the anti-diabetic potential of dried juice of Andrographis paniculata leaves in alloxan induced diabetic rats as the decoction of whole plant is used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus traditionally.
Method: The fresh leaves of A. paniculata herb were collected and grinded with distilled water into a fine slurry. The resulting juice was filtered and concentrated and used for the study. Three doses (50mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg) of dried juice of leaves were orally administered to the diabetic rats to evaluate blood glucose lowering effect. Metformin hydrochloride drug (120mg/kg) was used as a reference standard. The blood glucose level was measured at 0, 1, 3 and 5 hours after the treatment.
Results: After single administration of dried juice of leaves with 50 mg/kg dose there was significant reduction of blood glucose level at 3rd and 5th hour of administration and the % reduction was 24.8 and 37.51 respectively. Similarly 100mg/kg of extract dose showed significant reduction in blood glucose level at1st, 3rd and 5th hour of administration with % reduction of 20.6, 35.2 and 48.28 respectively whereas 200 mg/kg dose caused significant reduction in blood glucose level after 1st, 3rd and 5th hour of intervals and the % reduction was of 21.48, 41.0 and 52.6 respectively.
Conclusion: All the three doses of dried juice (50, 100 and 200mg/kg) showed the maximum% reduction in blood glucose level after 5th hour of administration (37.51%, 48.28% and 52.6% respectively) as compared with diabetic control. This in vivo study shows that A. paniculata leaves has significant antidiabetic potential in a dose dependant manner and the results are comparable with the reference standard drug.
A critical discourse study of the portrayal of immigrants as non-citizens in a sample from the Spanish press
Authors: Martínez Lirola María 
Published: June 2022

This study intends to contribute to critical discourse analysis (CDA) by observing how the discourse of the press represents immigrants. The objective of this paper is to observe the main linguistic characteristics used by the press to portray sub-Saharan immigrants as non-citizens, in a sample from the Spanish press. The corpus consists of the news items published in the digital editions of the newspapers El País and ABC from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2019. The main discursive characteristics analysed to observe the representation of immigrants as non-citizens are lexis, the use of figures and the passive voice. The methodology combines qualitative and quantitative data.
The analysis will show that the discourse of the press tends to represent immigrants in a negative way, to reproduce the dichotomy ‘we-they’ and to represent immigrants as ‘the other’. The findings indicate that the recurrent use of certain words to refer to immigrants, the use of figures that evoke a sense of invasion and the representation of them as passive individuals do not favour integration but on the contrary the exclusion of immigrants from Spanish society, which thus promotes non-citizenship.
60 Candidate High-velocity Stars Originating from the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy in Gaia EDR3

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Using proper motions from Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) and radial velocities from several surveys, we identify 60 candidate high-velocity stars with a total velocity greater than 75% of the escape velocity that probably originated from the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr) by orbital analysis. Sgr’s gravity has little effect on the results and the Large Magellanic Cloud’s gravity has a nonnegligible effect on only a few stars. The closest approach of these stars to the Sgr occurred when the Sgr passed its pericenter (∼38.2 Myr ago), which suggests they were tidally stripped from the Sgr. The positions of these stars in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and the chemical properties of 19 of them with available [Fe/H] are similar to the Sgr stream member stars. This is consistent with the assumption of their accretion origin. Two of the 60 are hypervelocity stars, which may also be produced by the Hills mechanism.

Abstract
The rotation rates of main-sequence stars slow over time as they gradually lose angular momentum to their magnetized stellar winds. The rate of angular momentum loss depends on the strength and morphology of the magnetic field, the mass-loss rate, and the stellar rotation period, mass, and radius. Previous observations suggested a shift in magnetic morphology between two F-type stars with similar rotation rates but very different ages (88 Leo and ρ CrB). In this Letter, we identify a comparable transition in an evolutionary sequence of solar analogs with ages between 2–7 Gyr. We present new spectropolarimetry of 18 Sco and 16 Cyg A and B from the Large Binocular Telescope, and we reanalyze previously published Zeeman Doppler images of HD 76151 and 18 Sco, providing additional constraints on the nature and timing of this transition. We combine archival X-ray observations with updated distances from Gaia to estimate mass-loss rates, and we adopt precise stellar properties from asteroseismology and other sources. We then calculate the wind braking torque for each star in the evolutionary sequence, demonstrating that the rate of angular momentum loss drops by more than an order of magnitude between the ages of HD 76151 and 18 Sco (2.6–3.7 Gyr) and continues to decrease modestly to the age of 16 Cyg A and B (7 Gyr). We suggest that this magnetic transition may represent a disruption of the global dynamo arising from weaker differential rotation, and we outline plans to probe this phenomenon in additional stars spanning a wide range of spectral types.

Abstract
We use time-resolved spectra from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) to examine the distribution of radial velocity (RV) variations in 249 stars identified as members of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy by Hayes et al. We select Milky Way (MW) stars that have stellar parameters (

log
(
g
)

, T
eff, and [Fe/H] ) similar to those of the Sagittarius members by means of a k-d tree of dimension 3. We find that the shape of the distribution of RV shifts in Sgr dSph stars is similar to that measured in their MW analogs, but the total fraction of RV variable stars in the Sgr dSph is larger by a factor of ∼2. After ruling out other explanations for this difference, we conclude that the fraction of close binaries in the Sgr dSph is intrinsically higher than in the MW. We discuss the implications of this result for the physical processes leading to the formation of close binaries in dwarf spheroidal and spiral galaxies.
Potential risk resulting from the influence of static magnetic field upon living organisms. Numerically simulated effects of the static magnetic field upon porphine
Authors: Ciesielski Wojciech , Girek Tomasz , Oszczęda Zdzisław , Soroka Jacek A. , Tomasik Piotr 
Published: June 2022

Background: Recognizing effects of static magnetic field (SMF) of varying flux density on flora and fauna is attempted. For this purpose the influence of SMF upon the porphine molecule is studied.
Methods: Computations of the effect of static magnetic field (SMF) of 0.0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 AFU (1 AFU &gt; 1000 T) flux density were performed in silico for SMF changes distribution of the electron density in that molecule. HyperChem 8.0 software was used together with the AM1 method for optimization of the conformation of the molecule of porphine. The computations of polarizability, charge distribution, potential and dipole moment for molecules placed in SMF were performed for molecule situated subsequently in the x-y, y-z and x-z planes of the Cartesian system. The computations involved the DFT 3-21G method.
Results: Static magnetic field (SMF) decreased stability of the porphine molecule. This effect depended on the situating the molecule in respect to the direction of SMF of the Cartesian system. An increase in the value of heat of formation was accompanied by an increase in dipole moment.
Conclusions: Observed effects resulted from deformations of the molecule which involved pyrrole rings holding the hydrogen atoms at the ring nitrogen atoms and the length of the C–H and N–H bonds. In a consequence that macrocyclic ring lost its planarity.
Clinical-electrodiagnostic correlates in three cases of Riche-Cannieu anomaly (all-ulnar hand)
Authors: Alajmi Abdullah , Khuraibet Adnan , Shamov Todor , Rousseff Rossen 
Published: June 2022

Abstract

The Riche-Cannieu anastomosis is a neural connection between the deep branch of the ulnar nerve and the recurrent motor branch of the median nerve to the thenar. Rarely, it provides complete or nearly complete ulnar innervation of the thenar muscles (all-ulnar hand). This may lead to confusing clinical and electrodiagnostic findings in patients with median or ulnar nerve pathology, or during workup for suspected nerve lesions.
Two patients referred for electrodiagnostic assessment of carpal tunnel syndrome and one patient with suspected peripheral neuropathy presented with absent or very low compound motor action potential from the thenar after median nerve stimulation. This occurred in spite of normal thenar muscles’ bulk and function, in one hand (one subject) or both hands (two subjects). Ulnar nerve stimulation at wrist and elbow while recording over abductor pollicis brevis, first and second lumbrical muscles and needle electromyography allowed us to recognize Riche-Cannieu anastomosis and avoid diagnostic errors.
The rare innervation variant of all-ulnar hand should be considered in less typical presentations of hand disorders, especially when there is a discrepancy between the clinical findings and the expected electrodiagnostic changes.
Le fardeau des travailleurs vulnérables dans les pays en développement : une évaluation des effets du confinement en Tunisie
Authors: Le Phuong Minh , Marouani Mohamed Ali 
Published: June 2022

Pour de nombreux pays en développement, notamment en Afrique, les dommages de la première vague de COVID-19 ont été principalement économiques et sociaux en raison des mesures de confinement. Cet article vise à évaluer leurs conséquences sur les travailleurs en utilisant l’Enquête nationale sur la population et l’emploi conduite par l’Institut national des statistiques tunisien (2017). Trois principaux facteurs de vulnérabilité sont étudiés : l’impossibilité de travailler à domicile, le fait de travailler dans une industrie non essentielle et pour le secteur privé. Les plus touchés sont les artisans et ouvriers des métiers de type artisanal, les conducteurs d’installations et de machines et les ouvriers non qualifiés dans des activités non agricoles. Le travailleur typiquement non protégé et vulnérable possède un faible niveau d’éducation, c’est un jeune homme s’il est indépendant et une femme avec un contrat temporaire et des revenus plus faibles s’il est salarié. Les régions côtières (à l’exception de la capitale) sont les plus fragiles malgré leurs avantages, car la plupart des activités manufacturières, touristiques et de transport international sont situées dans ces régions.
Perception de la Covid et comportement des ménages au Burkina Faso : Analyse des données d’enquête par sondage
Authors: Mathonnat Jacky , Audibert Martine , Nossek Vincent 
Published: June 2022

Très rapidement après l’apparition des premiers cas de Covid-19 sur le continent africain, les gouvernements ont adopté une série de mesures visant à en limiter la propagation. Pour être efficaces, ces mesures exigent qu’elles soient très largement acceptées et respectées par la population nonobstant les coûts de diverses natures qui en résultent pour chacun. Or l’observance des dispositions dépend de nombreux facteurs individuels et collectifs d’ordre culturel, socio-économique, institutionnel et environnemental, ainsi que de la perception que chacun a des risques encourus et de la gravité des conséquences protéiformes que la pandémie peut engendrer. Nous examinons ces différentes questions à partir des données d’une enquête effectuée au Burkina Faso sur un échantillon de 1000 adultes en mai – juin 2020. Il en ressort que les mesures préconisées par les autorités pour limiter la propagation de la pandémie sont très inégalement respectées. La grande majorité des répondants prend la pandémie très au sérieux et considère que les conséquences sanitaires et, plus encore économiques, en seront graves. L’enquête montre également qu’une grande partie des répondants est soucieuse des conséquences de la pandémie sur le creusement des inégalités et sur l’accentuation potentielle de la violence et de l’insécurité. Les résultats mettent en évidence à la fois des traits communs et une grande hétérogénéité de perception et de réponse comportementale au niveau individuel et au niveau régional. Les décideurs burkinabés pourront utiliser ces résultats pour mieux calibrer les stratégies de prévention à mettre en œuvre alors que la perspective d’une large couverture vaccinale demeure lointaine, et pour être prêts à répondre rapidement aux futures pandémies.
De l’éclectisme à l’approche intégrative
Authors: Boutte Virginie 
Published: June 2022

Héritant à la fois d’une posture gestaltiste en PGRO et des outils de l’approche Vittoz, l’auteur différencie la supervision intégrative d’autre formes de supervision et cherche à montrer l’importance de la compétence affective comme socle commun à toute formation et comme particularité de chaque thérapeute. L’activation de cette compétence affective permet l’intégration non seulement de différentes approches mais surtout la mise en mouvement de ce processus vital qu’est ce « self augmenté » de la conscience corporelle que l’auteur essaie de définir comme « le laboratoire ».
L’auto-soutien en situation
Authors: Falgas Claude 
Published: June 2022

L’essor de l’informatique puis de l’intelligence artificielle ont transformé notre rapport au monde. Ces outils et la prééminence du virtuel nous poussent à fragmenter, rationaliser, homogénéiser pensées et comportements au détriment des processus du vivant, y compris dans la relation. Toutefois, en situation, nous témoignons aussi tous, à des degrés divers, d’un auto-soutien composé de sentiments suffisants de sécurité, d’efficacité personnelle et d’identité. C’est quand la conscience de l’adaptation de l’un fait écho à l’auto-soutien de l’autre que des processus vivants de croissance et d’autonomisation peuvent surgir. Quel dommage de les entraver !
Une thérapie à deux voix
Authors: Van Damme Pierre 
Published: June 2022

L’auteur est attaché à la Gestalt-thérapie malgré ses imperfections ; elle l’aide à trouver une cohérence interne sans se sentir dispersé ou dilué. Il illustre son propos en proposant une lecture à deux voix d’un parcours thérapeutique récent avec une patiente ; à deux voix parce que le Gestalt-thérapeute ne se présente pas comme un sachant mais comme le partenaire d’une relation : c’est le patient qui sait. À partir de sa parole, le thérapeute commente, donne son point de vue et relie pratique et théorie gestaltiste. Deux êtres humains écrivent la même partition d’un récit, chacun dans sa tonalité.
Assignation identitaire à l’école primaire en France : cas de l’arabe dans les ELCO et EILÉ
Authors: Ellouzi Houria 
Published: June 2022

La contribution s’intéresse à la façon dont l’institution scolaire et son action agissent sur la construction identitaire des enfants. Notre point de vue n’est pas celui des savoirs transmis mais celui des catégorisations qui émergent de dispositifs comme les ELCO et EILÉ, visant plus ou moins explicitement un public d’élèves particulier. Dans ce cas précis, les observations en immersion faites dans plusieurs écoles d’Eure-et-Loir montrent comment le suivi des ELCO et EILÉ d’arabe marocain enferme les enfants concernés dans la catégorie « enfants issus de l’immigration », quelle que soit la réalité du lien qui unit, en fait, les enfants et la culture/langue qu’ils ont en héritage. Ce conditionnement contraint à ne pas se reconnaitre pleinement français en inscrivant le fait migratoire au premier plan.
Marque de luxe et marque écologique, congruence ou dissonance ? Une approche sémiotique comparative par la valeur de la consommation
Authors: Thevenin Virginie , de Barnier Virginie 
Published: June 2022

Cette recherche exploratoire a pour objectif de mieux comprendre le système de valeurs associé à l’achat d’une marque écologique et de luxe afin d’en faire émerger des valeurs communes et complémentaires. L’analyse qualitative mobilisant la sémiotique comprend deux séries d’entretiens semi-directifs individuels réalisés auprès de consommateurs et de consommateurs de luxe. Les résultats montrent que la théorie de la valeur est un cadre théorique intéressant pour mieux comprendre les représentations des marques écologiques de luxe. Quatre profils de consommateur de marque de luxe écologique sont mis en évidence : l’égoïste, le pragmatique, le vrai écologiste, le génératif inquiet.
Dans l’ornière de la prison : l’institutionnalisation de la rétention de sûreté en France
Authors: Bauduin Barbara 
Published: June 2022

Cet article propose d’éclairer l’institutionnalisation de la rétention de sûreté en France à travers l’histoire de l’un de ses équipements : le centre socio-médico-judiciaire de sûreté de Fresnes. Cette contribution s’intéresse en particulier à la place et au rôle de la prison dans son édification. À partir de sources publiques, médiatiques, législatives et critiques, et d’un matériau issu d’une enquête de type ethnographique, cet article met en évidence un processus d’isomorphisme singulier, intervenant en dépit des efforts déployés pour distinguer rétention et prison et favorisant finalement la vacuité du dispositif inauguré.
Physician perceptions of surveillance: Wearables, Apps, and Chatbots for COVID-19
Authors: Linares Alexandra R. , Bramstedt Katrina A. , Chilukuri Mohan M. , Doraiswamy Murali P. 
Published: June 2022

Background and Purpose:
To characterize the global physician community’s opinions on the use of digital tools for COVID-19 public health surveillance and self-surveillance.

Materials and Methods:
Cross-sectional, random, stratified survey done on Sermo, a physician networking platform, between September 9 and 15, 2020. We aimed to sample 1000 physicians divided among the USA, EU, and rest of the world. The survey questioned physicians on the risk-benefit ratio of digital tools, as well as matters of data privacy and trust.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Descriptive statistics examined physicians’ characteristics and opinions by age group, gender, frontline status, and geographic region. ANOVA, t-test, and Chi-square tests with P < 0.05 were viewed as qualitatively different. As this was an exploratory study, we did not adjust for small cell sizes or multiplicity. We used JMP Pro 15 (SAS), as well as Protobi.

Results:
The survey was completed by 1004 physicians with a mean (standard deviation) age of 49.14 (12) years. Enthusiasm was highest for self-monitoring smartwatches (66%) and contact tracing apps (66%) and slightly lower (48-56%) for other tools. Trust was highest for health providers (68%) and lowest for technology companies (30%). Most respondents (69.8%) felt that loosening privacy standards to fight the pandemic would lead to misuse of privacy in the future.

Conclusion:
The survey provides foundational insights into how physicians think of surveillance.
A new approach to Maslach Burnout Inventory: Measuring burnout syndrome in health-care staff with fuzzy conjoint analysis
Authors: Gürsel Güney , Turunç Ömer 
Published: June 2022

Background and Purpose:
Burnout syndrome (BOS), the popular phenomenon of our pandemic era, is examined in three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and cynicism, and personal inefficiency. One of the known and accepted ways of measuring BOS is Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), in which these three dimensions are measured by 22 items, using 5- or 7-point Likert scales. The aim of this study is to eliminate the loss of precision in BOS measurement and handle the subjectivity and uncertainty, as a result, to get rid of the bias caused by the classical way.

Methods:
To do this, fuzzy conjoint analysis (FCA) is used together with MBI. In the classical way, the calculations are made by assigning crisp values to the answers, which causes scientific bias and loss of precision because Likert scale type answers have subjectivity and uncertainty.

Results:
When the scores obtained with FCA are examined, all the scores and some BOS levels differ. When the position of the values according to the borders of the BOS levels is taken into account, it can be said that these tiny differences caused by the loss of precision make this difference.

Conclusion:
Findings show that the resulting scores changed significantly when calculations are made with FCA. Especially, when these scores are interpreted as intervals or grades, as in MBI, even tiny differences may result in significant scientific bias.
What brings people to government urban primary care facilities? A community-based study from Delhi, India
Authors: Virmani Nitish , Mittal Ishaan , Lahariya Chandrakant 
Published: June 2022

Introduction:
Mohalla or Community Clinics of Delhi, India, provides free primary care services to the general population, with special focus on the underserved and marginalized. This study was conducted to analyze the perception and experience of target beneficiaries and to understand and document the determinants of people visiting these clinics.

Material and Methods:
A community-based study was conducted from October 2019 to April 2020. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Correlation and comparative analysis were used. Thirty-seven Mohalla Clinics and their catchment areas were visited. A total of 391 respondents (including 35 health staff and 356 community members) were included.

Results:
Proximity of clinics, waiting times, age, perceived quality of treatment, and cleanliness at facilities were the factors that influenced the usage of clinics. Lack of first-aid facilities and long waiting time (at a few facilities) were identified challenges. There is a need for wider publicity and awareness about the clinics and regular analysis of data to determine an appropriate mid-course action to further increase utilization.

Conclusion:
Community Clinics of Delhi, India, have brought people back to government primary healthcare (PHC) facilities. The popularity of these clinics has encouraged a number of Indian states to set up similar facilities. The factors behind their success need to be studied in detail to derive lessons for making urban PHC accessible in other low- and middle-income countries.
