Questions esthétiques et pratiques constructives dans la musique de Soft Machine entre les années 1960 et 1970
Authors: Caporaletti Vincenzo 
Published: September 2022

La musique de Soft Machine, entre la fin des années 1960 et le début des années 1970, présente des caractéristiques formelles et soulève des questions esthétiques qui dépassent la spécificité artistique du groupe, pour investir la nature de l’esthétique du jazz et du rock et leur relation mutuelle. Ce processus agit sur les deux niveaux distincts de la dialectique du matériau musical et sur celui de l’interaction symbolique et de l’organisation sociale du groupe d’artistes. L’infrastructure conceptuelle de la Théorie des musiques audiotactiles sera utilisée à cet égard pour reformuler certaines questions d’une importance cruciale et, sur la base de transcriptions en notation des morceaux de Soft Machine avec le protocole spécifique créé par l’auteur, une analyse musicale sera conduite avec des partitions intégrales sonorisées, pour relever les aspects de ces problèmes esthétiques inscrits dans la dimension des mêmes matériaux et pratiques performatives implémentées.
“Les Feuilles mortes” de Prévert et Kosma. À propos de l’expérience du temps et de l’amour dans la chanson française
Authors: Henschel Alice 
Published: September 2022

Cette recherche s’attache à comprendre les raisons du succès et de la postérité de la chanson « Les Feuilles mortes » de Jacques Prévert et Joseph Kosma en mobilisant un appareil pluridisciplinaire – littéraire, prosodique, musicologique et anthropologique – ainsi qu’en étudiant l’histoire de sa diffusion. Il s’agira de comprendre ce qui participe à faire de l’œuvre un prototype de la chanson d’amour « idéale » et ainsi à démultiplier ses temporalités et ses variantes pour aboutir à une réflexion plus large autour de l’expérience du temps et de l’amour en chanson – thèmes ici fédérés sous l’égide du topos poétique de l’automne.
Soft Machine, la « Scène de Canterbury » et le rock progressif italien
Authors: Marzà Ruben , Palazzetti Nicolò 
Published: September 2022

La réception du rock progressif anglais dans la culture musicale italienne constitue un phénomène complexe et multiforme. À partir de la fin des années 1960, le rock progressif anglais connaît un large succès en Italie tandis que des groupes italiens tels que Premiata Forneria Marconi parviennent à s’imposer auprès d’un public international. Dans ce contexte, le rôle joué par les artistes associés à la « scène de Canterbury », dont Robert Wyatt et Soft Machine, est significatif et pourtant largement négligé dans la littérature. Après une présentation générale du rock progressif italien du début des années 1970, cet article aborde la réception de la musique « de Canterbury » en Italie et tente d’en saisir l’influence sur les groupes italiens (tels que Perigeo et Picchio dal Pozzo). Une prééminence est donnée ici à Soft Machine en tant que cas d’étude privilégié du fait de la bonne disponibilité des données historiques portant sur sa réception en Italie, mais également pour l’importance de l’association entre ce groupe et ses origines « canterburiennes », et ce en dépit des changements dans sa formation. L’article se conclut sur un aperçu de la politisation du rock progressif italien, notamment dans la deuxième moitié des années 1970, sans perdre de vue ses rapports avec l’univers de Canterbury.

Background: The rollout of GeneXpert aimed at increasing early diagnosis of tuberculosis to improve treatment outcomes and global tuberculosis targets.Objective: This study evaluated trends in tuberculosis diagnosis and outcomes pre- and post-introduction of GeneXpert in three African countries – the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Nigeria and South Africa.Methods: Data from 2001 to 2019 were extracted from the World Health Organization’s data repository. Descriptive analysis, paired t-tests and interrupted time series models were used.Results: Estimated tuberculosis incidence decreased from 327/100 000 to 324/100 000 in the DRC, and from 1220/100 000 to 988/100 000 in South Africa. Incidence remained at 219/100 000 in Nigeria. The tuberculosis case notification rate did not change significantly. Increases in the new case treatment success rates were statistically significant (DRC: p = 0.0201; Nigeria: p = 0.0001; South Africa: p = 0.0017); decreases in mortality were also statistically significant (DRC: p = 0.0264; Nigeria: p = 0.0001; South Africa: p 0.0001). Time series models showed insignificant increases in new tuberculosis cases in DRC (n = 1856, p = 0.085) and Nigeria (n = 785, p = 0.555) from 2011 to 2019; and a statistically significant decrease in South Africa (n = 15 269, p = 0.006).Conclusion: Improvements in tuberculosis treatment outcomes were achieved, but little progress has been made in new case notification due to varied implementation and scale-up of GeneXpert across the three countries. Implementation barriers need to be addressed to achieve the required tuberculosis targets.

Published: September 2022

Background: There has been an increased emergence of the use of telerehabilitation by speech-language therapists (SLTs) in South Africa since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.Objectives: To explore the criteria that SLTs use when recommending telerehabilitation for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the technical skills required, strategies used by SLTs, the restrictions encountered when conducting telerehabilitation and the views of SLTs on telerehabilitation in comparison to face-to-face therapy for children with ASD.Method: A descriptive, phenomenological, qualitative study design was utilised. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were employed. Six SLTs from the private sector, who had experience providing telerehabilitation to children with ASD, were recruited from three provinces in South Africa. Data were gathered via semistructured online interviews and analysed using thematic analysis.Results: Two out of five themes that emerged from this study are presented in this paper, i.e. approaches to telerehabilitation and the benefits of telerehabilitation. Results revealed that telerehabilitation was used to provide assessment and therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns as an alternative method of service delivery. Assessment and treatment strategies included synchronous and asynchronous methods, family collaboration, social stories, frequent breaks and interactive sessions. Telerehabilitation reduced the client’s and SLT’s travel costs and increased caregiver and clinician satisfaction. Client progress and increased awareness of SLT were viewed as further benefits.Conclusion: Telerehabilitation was found to be beneficial to most children with ASD, and in most cases, the benefits far outweighed the challenges encountered. Clinical implications included the need for caregiver support in facilitating effective carryover, an increase in SLTs’ knowledge and the opportunity to provide services to a broader geographical range. Limitations of the study are included.

Purpose:
The purpose of this study is aimed to assess the impact of simulation in addition to conventional training on knowledge and self-efficacy of the nursing students in handling common pediatric conditions covered under integrated management of neonatal and childhood illnesses.

Methods:
In a pretest–posttest control group design, 61 nursing students were randomly assigned to an experimental and control groups. The intervention for the control group consisted of 30 h conventional teaching on the management of common pediatric conditions, while the experimental group received additional simulation training of 5 h duration along with conventional teaching.

Results:
Both experimental (n = 30) and control groups (n = 30) were similar in demographic characteristics and baseline academic qualifications. There was a significant increase in knowledge and self-efficacy scores in both the groups (P < 0.001) with postintervention scores being significantly higher for knowledge (17.8 [2.1] vs. 15.5 [1.9], P < 0.001) and self-efficacy (34.4 [2.5] vs. 32.3 [2.9], P = 0.004) in the experimental group.

Conclusion:
An add-on simulation-based training to conventional teaching led to better knowledge and self-efficacy level in handling common pediatric conditions.
Optimization of Neochetina eichhorniae Warner and Neochetina bruchi Hustache for the management of water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms in the Central Rift Valley lakes through the use of different nutrient levels in Ethiopia

Published: September 2022

Water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms, is an alien invasive weed in Ethiopia that has been established in freshwater bodies. Eichhornia crassipes negatively affects water transportation, fishing and biodiversity among others. Hence, implementation of eco-friendly management option such as biological control is a mandatory. The weevils, Neochetina eichhorniae Warner and N. bruchi Hustache, are the principal biocontrol agents against E. crassipes in their native ranges and have been introduced to Ethiopia for the management of the weed. The weevils and their host are affected by the nitrate and phosphate contents of the water body. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of N. bruchi and N. eichhorniae in relation to water nutrient contents in the management of E. crassipes. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a 4x4x3 factorial arrangement. Eight weeks after the treatments’ application, the population of the weevils and E. crassipes growth parameters were recorded. The larval population was significantly (p < 0.05) affected only by the interaction effect of N. bruchi and the nutrient levels. Among the treatments, the highest mean number of larvae was found on the plants given high and medium nutrient levels. There was also a significant interaction (p < 0.05) between the two weevils adult density. The mean number of emerged adult density of the weevils increased with increasing nutrient levels. The nutrients and weevils exhibited a significant interaction effect on E. crassipes leaf scarring and petiole tunnel. Leaf scarring at the highest weevil density and nutrient level was sixfold greater than that at the lower nutrient level and weevil density. The tunnel length of the weed was threefold higher at the highest nutrient level regardless of the weevil density. The growth parameters of E. crassipes were found to be greater at high nutrient level, except for the mean number of flowers. Conversely, the growth parameters showed a non-uniform trend with the increasing density of the weevils. The current result suggests reduction in E. crassipes could be achieved by lowering the water nutrient levels and use of N. bruchi and N. eichhorniae.

Published: September 2022

AIM
This study aims to investigate whether second-trimester fetal adipose tissue components reflect glycemic control in diabetic pregnancies and their role as an auxiliary method in predicting gestational diabetes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study was designed prospectively, cross-sectionally in 300 pregnant women 24-28 weeks of gestation between April 2020 and July 2020. The adipose tissue thickness of the humerus, femur, scapula, and abdominal circumference was examined by transabdominal ultrasound. The age, body mass index, family history of diabetes, and diabetes history in previous pregnancies of the groups were questioned.
RESULTS
The anterior abdominal wall adipose tissue thickness of the fetuses we included in the study was 5 ± 0.8 mm, femur adipose tissue thickness was 4 ± 0.7 mm, humerus adipose tissue thickness was 3.7 ± 0.7 mm, scapula adipose tissue thickness was 4.1 ± 2,2 mm. The total adipose tissue thickness was 16.9 ± 2.9 mm.
A statistically significant correlation was found between femoral adipose tissue thickness (p = 0.001) and humeral adipose tissue thickness (p = 0.023) in gestational diabetes groups.
Patients with a diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (n = 60) constituted the first group, patients without GDM (n =240) constituted the second group. In our independent analysis of two groups, femur and humerus adipose tissue thickness were found to be statistically significantly different between both groups (p= 0.002, p = 0.043, respectively). Other parameters did not differ significantly between groups.
Between three groups (healthy, impaired glucose tolerance, and gestational diabetes groups). Femoral adipose tissue thickness was statistically significant among the three groups (p = 0.005). As a result of binary logistic regression, if the femoral adipose tissue thickness was above 4.1 mm, the possibility of developing GDM was observed with 63.8% sensitivity and 65% specificity.
CONCLUSION
In the prediction of gestational diabetes, fetus femoral adipose tissue thickness may be significant

Abstract
Introduction: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent, progressive inflammatory disease caused by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. In women of reproductive age, it is a prevalent cause of pelvic pain. Surgical intervention may be required in the insufficiency of conservative treatments and laparoscopic procedures should be prioritized for surgery. The objective of our study was to compare the efficacy of laparoscopic fenestration-cauterization and cyst excision in patients with ovarian endometrioma on dysmenorrhea, non-menstrual pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and dyschezia symptoms.
Materials and methods: The study comprised 112 patients with endometrioma who underwent laparoscopic surgery and whose data could be obtained. In 76.8% (n=86) of the patients, laparoscopic cystectomy was conducted, and in 23.2% (n=26) of the patients, laparoscopic fenestration+cauterization were performed. The patients' preoperative examination findings and VAS (Visual Analog Scale) pain levels were retrieved retrospectively. Patients were contacted again during the study, VAS pain scores were recalculated, and a gynecological ultrasound scan was performed to check for recurrence. The collected data were analyzed comparatively.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 35.5 ± 6.8 years in the fenestration-cauterization group and 32.3 ± 5.9 years in the cystectomy group. 12.5% (n=14) of the cases were classified as stage I, 3.5% (n=4) as stage II, 32% (n=36) as stage III, and 52% (n=58) as stage IV. The operative time was significantly shorter in the fenestration+cauterization group compared to the cystectomy group (respectively/min 50.0±18.4 /61.3.±16.8, p=0.014). In both groups, the number of patients with dysmenorrhea, NMPP, dyspareunia, and dyschezia who had high VAS pain scores decreased significantly (p<0.005). In both procedures, there was no difference between recurrence rates (p=0.801). After surgical treatment, there was a significant decrease in the number of stage III-IV patients with dysmenorrhea and NMPP who had high VAS (p<0.005).
Conclusion: We emphasize the significance of laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of endometriosis. Both laparoscopic fenestration + cauterization and laparoscopic cystectomy significantly reduced pain symptoms, especially in patients with advanced endometriosis. The efficacy and recurrence rates of both treatments were not significantly different.

Acute appendicitis in pregnancy; A single center experience
Authors: Turgut Emre , Cakir Ilker , Dikiser Fatma , Tuncer Korhan , Teker Kenan 
Published: September 2022

Objective
Appendicitis is the most common cause of extrauterine acute abdomen during pregnancy. There are scoring systems, such as Alvarado, based on physical examination and laboratory values developed for the diagnosis of appendicitis in the general population. However, when it comes to pregnant women, the effectiveness of the methods used in daily practice decreases considerably. In our study, we aimed to share the data of our patients who were diagnosed with acute appendicitis during pregnancy in our clinic.
Material methods
Pregnant women who were operated for acute appendicitis between April 2008 and May 2021 were included in the study. Demographic data of the patients, gestational week, physical examination and laboratory values at the time of admission, USG findings, type of surgery performed, surgical findings, pathology results and fetal-maternal complications that developed during postoperative follow -up were reviewed retrospectively through the hospital system.
Results
From the clinicopathological features of the patients, only re-operation due to appendiceal stump leakage (p:0.04) and drain placement during operation (p:0.046) were significantly associated with miscarriage. Although complications and abortion rates were higher in patients with perforation and periappendicular abscess, the difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusion
Detailed history and physical examination are key for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in pregnant women. Any patient with right lower quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting and fever, who has tenderness and defensive rebound in the right lower quadrant on physical examination should be considered as appendicitis after obstetric causes are excluded, until proven otherwise.

Influence of Knowledge of Assessment on Test Construction Skills among Tutors of College of Education in Ghana
Authors: Asamoah-Gyimah Kenneth 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: A tutor’s ability to develop and incorporate assessment data into classroom instructions is a function of their assessment literacy. While the tutors’ assessment literacy level is a determinant of the quality of education delivery, research in the area of test construction skills competency among teacher educators remains sparse. The main aim of the study was to explore the influence of tutors’ knowledge in assessment on their test construction skills.
Methodology: The descriptive survey design was used in the study to investigate the predictive relationship between tutor knowledge in assessment and test construction skills. Hundred and fifty (150) tutors were sampled using proportionate stratified sampling technique. The Teacher Knowledge in Assessment Scale (TKAS) and Test Construction Skills Inventory (TCSI) were administered to 150 College of Education (CoE) tutors to solicit their views. Descriptive statistics, specifically, mean and standard deviations, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approaches were used to test the study hypotheses.
Findings: The study's findings revealed that tutors had a high level of assessment knowledge and test construction skills. Also, tutors’ knowledge of assessment was found to significantly predict test construction skills.
Recommendations: The study recommended the frequent use of literacy standards provided by AFT, NCME, and NEA (1990). The study further recommended that CoE management frequently organise workshops on state-of-the-arts modules of assessment to maintain the knowledge level of tutors. Finally, CoE management should take the interest in engaging measurement and evaluation experts frequently, not only as a strategy to updates tutors’ knowledge but also to promote efficient implementation of multiple assessment procedures.
A study of changes in Mean Ocular Perfusion Pressure and Intra-Ocular Pressure among patients undergoing hemodialysis
Authors: Seethalakshmi DK , Kanakapur Savitha , DK Supriya 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Background:During hemodialysis there is decrease in both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and hence Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) due to decrease in body fluid volume. Due to reduction in MAP there is decrease in Mean Ocular Perfusion Pressure (MOPP) and also there is increase in IOP during dialysis.

Objective:To study changes in MOPP and IOP among patients undergoing hemodialysis

Methods:An observational study was carried out among 100 patients undergoing hemodialysis Under aseptic condition, Proparacaine eye drops were instilled in both eyes, IOP was measured by Schiotz Indentation Tonometer 30 min before, during hemodialysis and 30 min after hemodialysis in supine position. Tonometer was sterilized by Isopropyl alcohol and was washed with normal saline before using on next patient. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured by using sphygmomanometer 30 min before, during and 30 min after hemodialysis.

Results:The variations in the SBP, DBP and MAP before, during and after hemodialysis were not statistically significant (p>0.05). There was significant differences for IOP between before, during and after hemodialysis and same for MOPP except before and 30 min after hemodialysis (p < 0.0001).

Conclusion:Significant fluctuations were seen from the present study in the intra-ocular pressure and mean ocular perfusion pressure during, before and after hemodialysis.
