Accelerating Spherical Harmonic Transforms for a Large Number of Sky Maps
Authors: Tian Chi , Li Siyu , Liu Hao 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The spherical harmonic transform is a powerful tool in the analysis of spherical data sets, such as cosmic microwave background data. In this work, we present a new scheme for spherical harmonic transforms that supports both CPU and GPU computations, which is especially efficient on a large number of sky maps. By comparing our implementation with the standard Libsharp-HEALPix program, we demonstrate a 2–10 times speedup for the CPU implementation, and an up to 30 times speedup when a state-of-the-art GPU is employed. This new scheme’s software package is available via an open-source GitHub repository.
Multiple Stellar Populations of Globular Clusters from Homogeneous Ca–CN–CH–NH Photometry. VII. Metal-poor Populations in 47 Tucanae (NGC 104)*

†
Authors: Lee Jae-Woo 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
We present new large field-of-view (∼1°×1°) Ca-CN photometry of the prototypical metal-rich globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104). Our results are the following. (1) The populational number ratios of the red giant branch (RGB) and red horizontal branch (RHB) are in excellent agreement: n(CN-w):n(CN-s) = 30:70 (±1–2), where the CN-w and CN-s stand for the CN-weak and CN-strong populations, respectively. Both the CN-s RGB and RHB populations are more centrally concentrated than those of CN-w populations are. (2) Our photometric metallicities of individual RGB stars in each population can be well described by bimodal distributions with two metallicity peaks, [Fe/H] ∼−0.72 and −0.92 dex, where the metal-poor components occupy ∼13% of the total RGB stars. The metal-poor populations are more significantly centrally concentrated than the metal-rich populations, showing a similar result that we found in M3. (3) The RGB bump V magnitudes of individual populations indicate that there is no difference in the helium abundance between the two metal-poor populations, while the helium enhancement of ΔY ∼0.02–0.03 is required between the the two metal-rich populations. (4) The RHB morphology of 47 Tuc appears to support our idea of the bimodal metallicity distribution of the cluster. We suggest that 47 Tuc could be another example of merger remnants of two globular clusters, similar to M3 and M22.
La police du consentement
Authors: Pérona Océane 
Published: November 2022

Bien qu'absente de la définition des violences sexuelles donnée par le code pénal français, la question du consentement est centrale dans les enquêtes policières pour viol. À partir d'une ethnographie de 10 mois dans un service d'investigation spécialisé dans les violences sexuelles sur adultes et de 20 entretiens avec des policiers travaillant en brigade des mineurs, cet article examine le travail policier de qualification des récits des plaignantes. Il montre que celui-ci consiste en l'écriture d'un script pénal de sexualité contrainte, qui comporte une dimension situationnelle, relationnelle et fait intervenir les positions des plaignantes dans l'espace social. L'existence ou l'absence du consentement sont appréciées par les policiers à l'aune de différentes normes, socialement situées, qui travaillent les conduites sexuelles féminines, de la relation entre les plaignantes et les mis en cause, ainsi que de l'éventuelle distance sociale qui les sépare.
Territorial Fantasies, Sexual Nuances, and Savage Energy: Orientalism and Tropicality in Eugène Delacroix and Johann Moritz Rugendas
Authors: Gaete Miguel Ángel 
Published: November 2022

In 1822, the German Romantic painter Johann Moritz Rugendas undertook his famed three-year journey across Brazil. Later, between 1831 and 1846, encouraged by Alexander von Humboldt and other Romantic artists, he would make a second trip through Mexico and South America. In 1832, Eugène Delacroix started a six-month journey to Spain and North Africa as a part of a diplomatic mission. Both artists profusely translated their travels into words and rich images of tropical America and the Orient. Their paintings and illustrations of remote lands and people became milestones in their respective careers while being prime examples of how Europe viewed and perceived the rest of the world in the nineteenth century. In hindsight, they were not only mere agents and promoters of two crucial aesthetic trends of that time: Orientalism and Tropicality but the embodiment of two ways of seeing and imagining the Others. This article places these two artists against each other, contrasting the set of ideas and cultural preconceptions resting behind a sizeable number of paintings, drawings, and illustrations of their Eastern and South American experiences. The central argument is that Tropicality and Orientalism were comparable phenomena based on similar tropes and assumptions. It brings forward recurring themes of Rugendas and Delacroix’s works, such as the eroticisation of female bodies and the linkage between South America and the East with everlasting ideas of violence, adventures, and savageness to prove such an equivalence.
The image of Spain as a tourist destination through audiovisual productions. The case of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (Zoya Akthar, 2011)
Authors: Ramón Gabriel María 
Published: November 2022

This article studies the tourist image of Spain projected by the Bollywood film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, directed by Zoya Akhtar. Released in 2011, the film is a paradigmatic example of tourism promotion of the Spanish territory by foreign audiovisual media, that identifies the country as a destination with a wide tourist offer characterized by important cultural, landscape, artistic, and gastronomic attractions. The text is divided into two sections. In the first, the tourist implications of audiovisual productions are analysed in general terms and, more specifically, the economic impact and marketing activities, as well as the shaping of geographical imaginaries, derived from film screenings. Later, this conceptual framework is applied to the specific case of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, explaining the possible correlation between its premiere and the increase in Indian visitors to Spain within the framework of the I need Spain campaign (2010-2016). Next, the film is studied as a road movie that promotes experiential tourism and generates specific geo-touristic imaginaries through landscape beauty, neo-romantic exoticism, and gender stereotypes.
Les minorités raciales, la justice et la peine de mort dans les séries télévisées américaines de networks, 1950-1977
Authors: Richard Julie 
Published: November 2022

Un corpus de 139 épisodes de séries télévisées américaines (diffusés pour la première fois entre 1950 et 1977), présentant le sujet de la peine de mort, et de l’exécution légale plus particulièrement, a été analysé pour décrire les conventions narratives et de mises en scène concernant les minorités raciales et leurs relations au crime et au système judiciaire. Cet échantillon est éclairé par sa confrontation avec le contexte historique, mais aussi un ensemble d’archives sur le développement de certains épisodes (scénarii et interviews de scénaristes et de producteurs actifs à la période étudiée). Dans un contexte de bouleversements majeurs aux États-Unis, ce sujet prête à polémique et peut repousser les spectateurs et les annonceurs. En effet, les tensions raciales sont rarement mises en scène à l’écran, de même que les violences interraciales. Dans la fiction, les minorités raciales apparaissent protégées de la discrimination par un système judiciaire insensible à la couleur de peau, ou condamnant le racisme le cas échéant. Cette forme de discrimination positive apparaît aussi dans la mise en scène des rares exécutions de condamnés non blancs (utilisation du hors champ, absence d’humiliation du condamné). Par ailleurs, les figurants de couleur apparaissent de plus en plus, en tant qu’acteurs du système judiciaire. Les archives nous renseignent sur les réticences des chaînes et des annonceurs à traiter ce thème, et sur les stratégies de « contournement » employées, qui permettent plusieurs interprétations des épisodes : choix du cadre historique et/ou géographique et de la minorité opprimée, représentation « équilibrée » des points de vue. Les épisodes diffusés peuvent par conséquent satisfaire un public aux opinions variées et contradictoires.
The X-Files : aux frontières du fantastique
Authors: Achemchame Julien 
Published: November 2022

Cet article se propose d’analyser la série X-Files (Fox, 1993-2002 / 2016-2018), série feuilletonnante majeure des années 1990, généralement associée au genre de la science-fiction, à partir de la notion de fantastique. En nous appuyant sur quelques éléments de définitions canoniques de ce genre, notamment en littérature (R. Caillois, T. Todorov, D. Mellier), nous voulons mettre en lumière le système narratif et esthétique original que met en place la série, notamment à travers l’analyse du pilote. Il s’agit dès lors de voir comment le récit, s’ancrant dans le registre réaliste, et alternant les points de vue des deux protagonistes, Mulder, le profiler, croyant au « surnaturel », et Scully, « la scientifique », tenante d’une pensée rationnelle, permet l’apparition du genre fantastique et laisse les téléspectateur.trice.s face à l’indécidable d’un monde vacillant où règne le questionnement permanent. Nous souhaitons également montrer comment l’image, à travers ses paramètres audiovisuels, que ce soient par le cadrage, le montage, l’utilisation de la profondeur de champ, mais également par une ambiguïté de certains signes au sein des images, développe une friction entre volonté d’un cadre réaliste nécessaire et trouble surnaturel venant y faire « effraction » afin de proposer au public une lecture fondamentalement ambiguë du monde fictionnel de nature proprement fantastique et questionnant le réel même. Enfin, nous souhaitons voir comment ce mo(n)de fantastique, grâce à son indécidabilité caractéristique et son hybridité générique, devient l’articulation nécessaire à la série, alternant épisodes isolés et épisodes liés à la mythologie extra-terrestre, et permet, grâce à l’hésitation et aux récits souvent incomplets, la relance permanente d’un désir de fictions du public.
Hyperviscosity syndrome revisited
Authors: Gangopadhyay Debasree , Roy Mahua , Laha Somrita , Nandi Debabrata , Sengupta Rhitajyoti , Chattopadhyay Amitabha 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT
Secondary erythrocytosis occurs in cyanotic heart disease as a physiological response to chronic hypoxia, and this leads to hyperviscosity and various complications of the same. Microvascular stasis due to hyperviscosity results in symptoms including headache, fatigue, paraesthesia, and loss of vision. An important and dreadful feature of hyperviscosity is overt thrombosis in organ systems, resulting in cerebrovascular accident and myocardial infarction. Limited body iron store in a state of secondary erythrocytosis brings forth iron-deficient microcytic red cells; these being more rigid and less deformable than normocytic cells, further aggravate vascular occlusion. The management of hyperviscosity syndrome starts with intravenous hydration and correction of latent iron deficiency. However, therapeutic phlebotomy may be employed as a rescue measure if symptoms persist despite correction of dehydration and anemia. We present a series of four patients with uncorrected cyanotic congenital heart disease who presented with a spectrum of features of hyperviscosity and discuss pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of hyperviscosity in detail.
Characterization of Genus Proteus Isolated from Various Clinical Specimens and Detection of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Production
Authors: Anju M. , Kuruvilla Thomas S. 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Among Gram-negative bacteria, the presence of beta-lactamases is a defined modality of resistance to antibiotics of the beta-lactam group. Proteus species also has been showing various degrees of resistance to these groups of antibiotics and thereby appearing multidrug resistant. The aim of our study was to know the occurrence of Proteus species from different clinical samples their antibiotic susceptibility, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production, and the associated patient risk factors.

Materials and Methods:
This observational descriptive study was done from December 2020 to December 2021. All Proteus isolates obtained from various clinical samples, were biochemically identified, antibiogram, and screening for ESBL production was done using a combination of cefotaxime and cefotaxime clavulanic acid antibiotic discs.

Results:
Seventy-nine Proteus isolates were obtained from hospitalized patients. In that, Proteus mirabilis was the most common isolate followed by Proteus vulgaris. Proteus infections were common in the age groups of 41–60 years and males were affected more than females. Out of the 79 Proteus isolates 12 were ESBL producers. Among these, 25% of ESBL producers were P. mirabilis and 75% of them were P. vulgaris.

Conclusion:
The most common isolate was P. mirabilis among hospitalized patients and P. vulgaris was the main ESBL producers when compared to P. mirabilis. These pathogens mainly caused wound and urinary tract infections. The patient age groups ranged mainly from 49–60 years. Diabetes mellitus was the most significant risk factor in these Proteus infections.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Compared to conventional microscopy, the cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT, Xpert MTB/RIF, Cepheid, USA) has the dual advantage of higher sensitivity to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), and the ability to detect rifampicin resistance.

Aim:
To evaluate the impact of the CBNAAT on the detection of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis from private and public healthcare facilities in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

Materials and Methods:
The study included specimens received between June 2015 to February 2017 from public and private health sectors for tuberculosis diagnosis at a national reference laboratory for tuberculosis in Bhubaneswar, where the CBNAAT was initiated in February 2016. We retrospectively collected the patients’ socio-demographic characteristics from their test request form, CBNAAT results from the CBNAAT register and PMDT culture and drug susceptibility testing (DST) register and validated the data by comparing the patient details and test results from the CBNAAT software.

Results:
From June 2015 to January 2016, 106 samples were received from Bhubaneswar at the reference laboratory, of which there were zero referrals from the private sector and zero referrals of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) samples. After initiation of the CBNAAT, from February 2016 to February 2017, 1262 specimens were received, of which 55.2% (696/1262), 17.8% (225/1262), 17.2% (217/1262), and 9.8% (124/1262) were from government hospitals and medical colleges, private hospitals, private practitioners, and district TB centers, respectively.

Conclusion:
The availability of TB diagnostics at public sector facilities to patients from private sectors and the rollout of the CBNAAT increased the referral of patients from private health facilities and the referral of paucibacillary non-sputum samples.
Totally extraperitoneal versus transabdominal preperitoneal approach
Authors: Aslam Mohammad , Alam Junaid , Singh Manisha , Kujur Maikal 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Groin hernia surgery is one of the most common procedures performed by surgeons worldwide. With the advent of minimal access surgery, the procedure for repair is now done either by transabdominal preperitoneal approach Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) or totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach. The advantage of one procedure over the other is still controversial.

Objectives:
This prospective study was conducted to find out the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of TEP and TAPP for inguinal hernia repair in terms of operative time, intraoperative complications, conversion to open, visual analog scale (VAS) score, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and recurrence of hernia and chronic pain.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 88 patients of inguinal hernia enrolled prospectively between November 2017 and November 2019 and patients aged 18 years and above admitted in Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital were included in this study. Forty-four patients were included in TEP group, while 44 patients were allocated to TAPP group.

Results:
The statistical analysis was done using Chi-square test and unpaired t-test, respectively. The mean operative time in TEP was 91.14 ± 11.14 min and in TAPP repair was 103.16 ± 6.79 min, which was found to be significantly significant. The mean pain score on VAS score on postoperative day 1 was 5.70 ± 0.95 in laparoscopic TEP group and 5.86 ± 0.97 in laparoscopic TAPP group. The mean pain score on VAS score on postoperative day 2 was 3 ± 1.27 in laparoscopic TEP group and 2.95 ± 1.29 in laparoscopic TAPP group. Similarly, the mean pain score on VAS scale on postoperative day 7 was 0.863 ± 1.26 in laparoscopic TEP group and 0.659 ± 1.21 in laparoscopic TAPP group. No significant difference was observed in VAS between TEP and TAPP groups during follow-up. Both TEP and TAPP mesh techniques were comparable in terms of the intraoperative complications and postoperative complications (seroma [during hospital stay, after 1 week of discharge, after 1 month of follow-up]; hematoma [during hospital stay, after 1 week of discharge]; wound infection) and in conversion to open and length of hospital stay. The difference in mean cost of surgery was found to be statistically significant.

Conclusion:
Although the mean operative time and cost of surgery were significantly more in TAPP than in TEP group, no significant difference could be found between the intraoperative and postoperative complication rates, conversion to open, and length of hospital stay. Recurrence was observed in one case of TEP groups during follow-up. Our study supports the view that both laparoscopic TEP and TAPP mesh repairs of inguinal hernia are safe and efficacious.

Published: November 2022

Objective: to study the variability of the heart rate of athletes during hypoventilation training, which provides an increase in the result of speed-strength load.Materials and methods: Athletes performed speed-strength load with their hands on a training apparatus against the background of maximum voluntary breath holding before and after hypoventilation training. The duration of breath holding, the number of power movements, parameters of heart rate variability and electromyography were measured.Results: After hypoventilation training of athletes at rest, parasympathetic influences on the heart rate increased, which led to an increase in the total power of the heart rate spectrum from 3201 ± 520 to 4047 ± 585 ms2, the power of the low frequency of the heart rate spectrum from 1458 ± 216 to 2055 ± 392 ms2 and the standard deviation of the duration of adjacent cardiac cycles from 45 ± 5 to 52 ± 4 ms. Sympathetic influences increased during exercise against the background of maximum voluntary breath holding. The longer maximum voluntary breath holding was, the more power movements the athletes performed.Conclusion: Hypoventilation training changed the vagosympathetic balance of the athletes’ body, increasing their performance and hypoxic resistance.

Published: November 2022

The morphology of track membranes based on polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene with different track diameters and their surface densities were studied by UV, IR, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM method was used to plot the distribution curves of the number of tracks depending on their average size (diameter). Similar distribution curves were obtained using UV and IR spectroscopy. Good agreement was found between the data of independent methods of optical spectroscopy
and SEM. It is shown that with an increase in the surface density of tracks, the background elastic scattering in the Raman spectra increases linearly. It is proposed to use the observed effect in the Raman spectra to estimate the surface track density of polymer track membranes.
REPRESENTATION OF FORMAL AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS IN COMPUTATIONAL MEDIA: A CASE STUDY OF NATIONAL ASSEMBLY BUILDING IN DHAKA
Authors: Rahaman Hafizur , Hossain Sk. Maruf 
Published: November 2022

In architecture, the primary goal of a design analysis and its representation is to expose the underlying concept, organizational pattern, design characteristics, and ‘tectonics’ through simplified diagrams. Last few years there shows a distinct elevation of general mass education in graphics and audio-visual media. In contrast, the average level of understanding architectural representation is still much lower than most other visual media. The advent of computers recently has added 3D models and 3D motion models (animations) into the spectrum of representation. This study investigates the strength and limitations of conventional computer aided 3D diagrammatic modelling techniques and their related representative capabilities in the context of architectural form and space analysis. Here, National Assembly Building, Dhaka is used as a case study. The authors hope, the findings of this study will help to understand the new media and it’s significant importance in the context of architectural analysis and design teaching.
