La délibération échelonnée
Authors: de Briey Aurian , Vandamme Pierre-Étienne 
Published: September 2022

Doit-on renoncer à l’idéal d’une grande délibération structurée incluant l’ensemble des membres d’une communauté politique ? Pas forcément. La délibération échelonnée, étudiée dans cet article, consiste à multiplier les délibérations par groupes de 20 personnes et à en faire remonter les conclusions provisoires, à la façon d’une pyramide, par le biais de représentant·es des délibérations antérieures. Étant donné le caractère exponentiel de la réduction du nombre de participant·es entre les échelons de délibération, il ne faudrait que six étapes pour arriver à la délibération finale. Cet article explore la plausibilité théorique d’un tel modèle et examine les principales objections qu’on pourrait lui adresser.
SWIFT : de la neutralité à l’arme géopolitique ?
Authors: Collomb Alexis 
Published: September 2022

Après l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie, les pays occidentaux ont adopté plusieurs paquets de sanctions contre Moscou. Parmi ces mesures, la déconnexion du système SWIFT – qui facilite les échanges interbancaires – a été décrite comme une « arme nucléaire financière ». Il est encore difficile de mesurer l'impact précis de ces sanctions, mais on s'achemine vraisemblablement vers la mise en place progressive d'un « rideau de fer financier » entre la Russie et l'Occident.
Evaluating the Efficacy of Nagarmotha (Cyperus rotundus Linn.) Churna in the Management of Obesity in Comparison with Garcinia cambogia Extract
Authors: Chaudhary Shikha , Yadava Rama Kant , Kajaria Divya 
Published: September 2022

Introduction:
Obesity is considered a major public health problem because of its increasing prevalence and risk of other secondary chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders to name a few. Several drugs exist for managing obesity, but they are of passable fleeting effects and in some instances have raised safety concerns too. In addition, dietary supplements have been postulated to promote weight reduction. The best-known fad among many is believed to be Garcinia cambogia to date. Although it is widely used in Asia and Africa, still the use of Garcinia extract remains controversial. Hence, it is imperative to look for new and safer ways to treat obesity.

Methodology:
The present study was an open labeled randomized clinical study for a duration of 90 days, conducted at All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi. Patients with body mass index >30 to 40 from both gender and age ranging from 20 to 45 years old were included in the study. The intervention for the trial group was Nagarmotha churna (powder of Cyperus rotundus Linn.) which was given orally for three months.

Results:
The trial group has shown significantly higher weight loss in comparison to Garcinia extract (4.8 vs. 3.02, t value = 4.2, P < 0.05) in the present study. Furthermore, no adverse effects of any intervention were reported in the period of trial.

Conclusion:
It is concluded that treatment with Nagarmotha churna and G. cambogia extract is useful in reducing weight. However, the trial herb is more well tolerated, safe, and effective for weight management in obese persons as substantiating the fact that the herb used in its classical form have a better result over that of extract used.
Autologous stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma in the novel agent era: Systematic review of Indian data and implications for resource constrained settings
Authors: Singh Suvir , Sharma Rintu , Singh Jagdeep , Jain Kunal , Paul Davinder 
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT
Treatment of multiple myeloma has undergone significant advances in the last two decades, leading to meaningful improvement in overall and progression free survival. The incurable nature of disease necessitates serial sequencing of treatment options and continuous therapy once disease remission is achieved. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has continued to offer a meaningful survival advantage with a consistent reduction in toxicity and costs. Despite the advent of newer drugs leading to deeper and sustained responses, ASCT continues to be the standard of care for all eligible patients and is ostensibly more cost effective than continued treatment with newer agents. However, ASCT continues to be underutilized in India, due to concerns about cost, safety, and sporadic expertize. We present a systematic review of available data on ASCT for multiple myeloma from India to evaluate safety and efficacy of the procedure, and provide evidence re-affirming its utility in resource constrained settings.

Authors: Aleidan Fahad A. S. , Albilal Sara , Alammari Maha , Al Sulaiman Khalid , Alassiri Mohammed , Abdel Gadir Abdel Galil 
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND:
Systemic infections are one of several risk factors leading to the development of inflammation and venous thromboembolism (VTE) formation. This study aimed to assess the risk factors associated with the development of VTE in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A retrospective-matched case − control study of patients with VTE in the period between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019. We included all adult patients who stayed more than 2 days in ICU before the development of VTE.

RESULTS:
Univariate and multivariate analyses uncovered three of six factors to have significant influence in the development of VTE in ICU patients: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobactereaceae (CRE) infections (odds ratio [OR] 2.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21–7.33, P = 0.010), length of ICU stay (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01–1.04, P = 0.011), and the sequential organ failure assessment score (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01–1.20, P = 0.031); all were found to be independent risk factors in the development of VTE.

CONCLUSION:
Our findings suggest that, CRE infection is a strong trigger to the development of VTE in patients admitted to the ICU, and draw the attention of the treating clinicians to prioritize these infections in the management protocols to control infection-driven VTE in ICU patients.
Tumor Lysis Syndrome in Pediatric Patients with Hematological Malignancies
Authors: Elkhatib Lamis Hani , Bayoumy Mohamed Salaheldin , Ahmed Abdulatef Mohammed , Alam Muhammad Matloob , Abosoudah Ibraheem Faisal , Altrabolsi Hassan Ali 
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND:
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a common complication of hematological malignancies and consists of either hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia, or hypocalcemia. These metabolic derangements may result in clinical tumor lysis syndrome in the form of acute kidney injury (AKI), arrhythmias, seizures, and sudden death.

OBJECTIVES:
This study was conducted to determine the incidence and outcome of TLS and to identify local risk factors in children with hematological malignancies.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This was a retrospective chart review of children ≤18 years diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma between 2014 and 2018. TLS was diagnosed and stratified according to the risk of developing tumor lysis using the Cairo and Bishop definition and Cairo stratification.

RESULTS:
Among 180 patients, only 11 patients (6%) developed TLS. Four patients had laboratory TLS (LTLS) (36.3%) and six had CLTS (54.5%). The male-to-female ratio was high (2.4:1 in the TLS group). Hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia were the most frequently occurring criteria for LTLS (81.8%). The strongest predictors for TLS were hyperuricemia and hypocalcemia at presentation (P < 0.001) followed by diagnosis of T-cell ALL, preceding AKI splenomegaly, high initial white blood cell, and lactate dehydrogenase, with P < 0.05. AKI secondary to tumor lysis occurred in six patients (54.5%), of which five needed dialysis. One patient had seizures secondary to tumor lysis (9.1%) and no patient died from TLS.

CONCLUSION:
There is a wide variation in reported incidence of TLS from 6% to 45%, likely due to different TLS definitions applied, diverse cohorts and duration. A universal definition and risk-stratified approach to prevent tumor lysis in patients with hematologic malignancies is needed to help in proper comparison between studies.
Two-moment characterization of spectral measures on the real line
Authors: Pietrzycki Paweł , Stochel Jan 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn Kiukas, Lahti, and Ylinen (2006, Journal of Mathematical Physics 47, 072104), the authors asked the following general question. When is a positive operator measure projection valued? A version of this question formulated in terms of operator moments was posed in Pietrzycki and Stochel (2021, Journal of Functional Analysis 280, 109001). Let T be a self-adjoint operator, and let F be a Borel semispectral measure on the real line with compact support. For which positive integers
$p< q$
do the equalities
$T^k =\int _{\mathbb {R}} x^k F(\mathrm {d\hspace {.1ex}} x)$
,
$k=p, q$
, imply that F is a spectral measure? In the present paper, we completely solve the second problem. The answer is affirmative if
$p$
is odd and
$q$
is even, and negative otherwise. The case
$(p,q)=(1,2)$
closely related to intrinsic noise operator was solved by several authors including Kruszyński and de Muynck, as well as Kiukas, Lahti, and Ylinen. The counterpart of the second problem concerning the multiplicativity of unital positive linear maps on
$C^*$
-algebras is also provided.
Improving global foods system, human health, and alleviating poverty through small ruminant production: the nigerian gains
Authors: Adetunmbi Tella, , .A. Chineke C 
Published: September 2022

Small ruminant has great potential in enhancing the global food system, improving human health, and alleviating poverty. Nevertheless, on average, small ruminant production has not been able to keep pace with the overall food demand globally. Meaning that without drastic action, the world food crisis will continue to persist and many people around the world will continue to live in abject poverty. To avert this ongoing phenomenon, this paper examines how the global food system and human health can be improved and poverty alleviated through small ruminant production; and how Nigeria will benefit from it. To properly articulate the theme of this paper, the discussion will focus on what small ruminant animals are; their benefits and constrain; the global food system, small ruminant production and its relation to human health and poverty eradication, efforts at improving small ruminant production and how this will have an impact on the Nigerian economy. Furthermore, the paper provides recommendations for the improvement of small ruminant production in Nigeria

Authors: Dangar Nikhil S. , Vataliya Pravin H. 
Published: September 2022

The objective of the research was to investigate the relationship among production traits i.e., lactation milk yield, lactation length and lactation peak milk yield of the first three lactations using principal component analysis and formulation of prediction equation to predict lifetime milk production in Gir cattle. Data were from multiparous dairy cows of the University farm. Principal component analysis with correlation matrix was used to find the relationship among lactation milk yield, lactation length and lactation peak milk yield of first three lactation and other fixed effects, including the year of calving, season and parity with random effect of sire. The principal components were fitted to identify the best-fitted model for predicting lifetime milk yield using all principal components as a predictor in different combinations. The first six principal components (first lactation milk yield, lactation length and peak milk yield, second lactation milk yield, lactation length and peak milk yield), explained 98% variation in the estimated values with adjusted R2= 59.85% variation in the estimated values. The curve estimation analysis revealed that the first six principal components as the predictor was the most fitting model for predicting lifetime milk yield. The prediction equation found most fitted will be useful for the selection of Gir cattle at an early stage of lactation.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionIt is challenging for radiologists to distinguish between venous malformations (VMs) and lymphatic malformations (LMs) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thus, this study aimed to differentiate VMs from LMs using non-contrast-enhanced MRI texture analysis.Material and methodsThis retrospective case-control study included 12 LM patients (6 men and 6 women; mean age 43.58, range 7-85 years) and 29 VM patients (7 men and 22 women; mean age 53.10, range 19-76 years) who underwent MRI for suspected vascular malformations. LM and VM patients were identified by histopathological examination of tissues excised during surgery. The texture features of VM and LM were analysed using the open-access software MaZda version 3.3. Seventeen texture features were selected using the Fisher and probability of error and average correlation coefficient methods in MaZda from 279 original parameters calculated for VM and LM.ResultsAmong 17 selected texture features, the patients with LM and VM revealed significant differences in 1 histogram feature, 8 grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features, and 1 grey-level run-length matrix feature. At the cut-off values of the histogram feature [skewness ≤ –0.131], and the GLCM features [S(0, 2) correlation ≥ 0.667, S(0, 3) correlation ≥ 0.451, S(0, 4) correlation ≥ 0.276, S(0, 5) correlation ≥ 0.389, S(1, 1) correlation ≥ 0.739, S(2, 2) correlation ≥ 0.446, S(2, –2) correlation ≥ 0.299, S(3, –3) correlation ≥ 0.091] had area under the curves of 0.724, 0.764, 0.773, 0.747, 0.733, 0.759, 0.730, 0.744 and 0.727, respectively.ConclusionsNon-contrast-enhanced MRI texture analysis allows us to differentiate between LMs and VMs.
The influence of near-surface sediment hydrothermalism on the TEX86 tetraether-lipid-based proxy and a new correction for ocean bottom lipid overprinting
Authors: Bentley Jeremy N. , Ventura Gregory T. , Walters Clifford C. , Sievert Stefan M. , Seewald Jeffrey S. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract. The diversity and relative abundances of tetraether lipids produced by
archaea and bacteria in soils and sediments are increasingly used to assess
environmental change. For instance, the TetraEther indeX of 86 carbon atoms
(TEX86), based on archaeal isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol
tetraether (iGDGT) lipids, is frequently applied to reconstruct past
sea-surface temperatures (SSTs). Yet, it is unknown how the ratio fully
responds to environmental and/or geochemical variations and if the produced
signals are largely the adaptive response by Thaumarchaeota to oceanographic
effects associated with climate or seasonal temperature changes in the upper
water column. We present the results of a four push-core transect study of
surface sediments collected along an environmental gradient at the Cathedral
Hill hydrothermal-vent system in Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California. The
transect crosses a region where advecting hydrothermal fluids reach 155 ∘C within the upper 21 cm below the seafloor (cm b.s.f.) close to the
vent center to near-ambient conditions at the vent periphery. The recovered
iGDGTs closest to the vent center experienced high rates of turnover with up
to 94 % of the lipid pool being lost within the upper 21 cm b.s.f. Here, we
show that the turnover is non-selective across TEX86 GDGT lipids and
does not affect the ratio independently. However, as evident by TEX86
ratios being highly correlated to the Cathedral Hill vent sediment porewater
temperatures (R2=0.84), the ratio can be strongly impacted by the
combination of severe lipid loss coupled with the addition of in situ iGDGT
production from archaeal communities living in the vent sediments. The
resulting overprint produces absolute temperature offsets of up to 4 ∘C based on the
TEX86H calibration relative to modern
climate records of the region. The overprint is also striking given the flux
of iGDGTs from the upper water column is estimated to be ∼ 93 % of the combined intact polar lipid (IPL) and core GDGT lipid pool
initially deposited on the seafloor. A model to correct the overprint signal
using IPLs is therefore presented that can similarly be applied to all
near-surface marine sediment systems where calibration models or climate
reconstructions are made based on the TEX86 measure.
