Distribution-free Bayesian analyses with the DFBA statistical package
Authors: Chechile Richard A. , Barch Daniel H. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Nonparametric (or distribution-free) statistics have been widely used in psychological research because behavioral data can be messy and inconsistent with the Gaussian model for measurement error. Distribution-free procedures only use categorical or rank information, so they avoid the problems of outliers and violations of distributional assumptions. Yet frequentist nonparametric procedures are still subject to the limitation of relative frequency theory, which stems from the founding assumption that population parameters cannot be represented by probability distributions. Bayesian statistical methods, by contrast, allow for prior and posterior probability distributions for population parameters, so they rigorously provide experimental scientists with a probability representation of the population parameters of interest. The Bayesian counterpart for a set of distribution-free statistical methods is a relatively recent development. This paper is a detailed discussion of the DFBA package of R functions, which is designed for doing distribution-free Bayesian analyses for the common nonparametric procedures. Included in the package are functions that enable the user to explore the relative power for computer-based data that can be sampled from nine different probability models. The distribution-free procedures have almost the same power as the t test when the data are normally distributed, but for eight other alternative probability models, the distribution-free Bayesian procedures have greater power than the frequentist t.
L’objet de l’histoire du cinéma et l’épistémologie des dispositifs
Authors: Tortajada Maria 
Published: February 2025

Les historiens le savent, l’objet de l’histoire du cinéma ne va pas de soi. Et pourtant, le discours historique cherche constamment à instaurer des limites et à circonscrire un territoire à partir duquel il construit son récit ou développe son analyse, décidant ce qui relève ou non du « cinéma ». Il est une autre manière de connaître ce dernier. Elle consiste à défaire les frontières et à le replacer dans le réseau de relations qui se tissent à une époque donnée entre des appareils les plus improbables, des représentations et des usages qui échappent à son histoire. Bergson et son cinématographe, par exemple. Ou encore Fourtier et ses plaques de lanterne magique au statut particulier. L’épistémologie des dispositifs de vision permet cela. Elle fait vaciller les frontières entre des grands ensembles historiques, comme la lanterne magique, la chronophotographie mareysienne ou ce qu’on appelle le cinéma. La question de la représentation du mouvement les fédère et les divise, source de variations généalogiques troublantes.
Alceste et le Ciné Monde : sur les traces d’un cinéphile ordinaire
Authors: Juan Myriam , Sellier Geneviève 
Published: February 2025

Cet article propose une enquête, inspirée des méthodes de la micro-histoire, sur un spectateur actif quelques mois entre 1962 et 1963 dans « Potinons », le courrier des lecteurs de Cinémonde. De celui-ci nous connaissons peu de choses, pas même le nom, seulement un prénom – Pierre – et un pseudonyme – Alceste. À partir de l’examen d’une lettre adressée à sa mort par l’une de ses amies à « Jean Talky », nom de plume sous lequel la journaliste Suzanne Chantal tenait alors la rubrique dans le magazine, croisé avec l’étude de ce dernier et en particulier son courrier des lecteurs, il s’agit de déterminer ce que le bref passage d’Alceste parmi les « potineurs » de Cinémonde nous apprend sur la cinéphilie ordinaire dans la France du début des années 1960.

Aim of the study. Inhaled ammonium persulphate (AP) reduces non adrenergic, non cholinergic (NANC) relaxation in the guinea pig trachea, as a part of its inflammatory effects. Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) stimulation has shown anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed at evaluating whether the PPAR-α agonist WY 14643 can prevent the reduction in NANC relaxation caused by inhaled AP in the guinea pig trachea. Materials and Methods. Four groups of ten male guinea pigs were treated for three weeks with inhaled AP (10 mg/m3, 30 min per day, group A), saline (group B), AP and WY 14643 (0.36 uM/die, per os, group C), and AP, WY 14643 and the PPAR-α antagonist GW 6471 (0.36 uM/die, per os, group D). NANC relaxations to electrical field stimulation (EFS) at 3 Hz. were evaluated in whole tracheal segments as intraluminal pressure changes. Results. The tracheal NANC relaxations were reduced by 90.3% in group A, as compared to group B. In group C, they were reduced by only 22.2%. In group D, they were reduced by 92.6 %. PPAR-α receptors were detected in inhibitory nerve fibers within the trachea as shown by immonohistochemical analysis. Conclusions. The PPAR-α agonist WY 14643 protects the NANC inhibitory system of the guinea pig trachea from the effect of inhaled ammonium persulphate and its protective effect is antagonized by GW 6471. PPAR-α might be exploited as a pharmacological target in asthma therapy.

Published: February 2025

Background: Hyperuricaemia is a risk factor for gout and independently predicts hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease development. While elevated uric acid levels occur in HIV patients, and weight gain is linked to dolutegravir-based therapy, data on the obesity-hyperuricaemia relationship in this population remain limited.Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate the association between obesity and hyperuricaemia among HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy in South-Western Uganda.Methods: Between April 2024 and June 2024, this study conducted a secondary analysis of data on uric acid level and factors associated with obesity from a 2023 cross-sectional study of HIV-positive participants. We used logistic regression to assess the factors associated with hyperuricaemia, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to assess the predictive performance of body mass index for hyperuricaemia.Results: Among 328 participants, hyperuricaemia prevalence was 23.48% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 19.19–28.39%) higher in male participants (31.6%) than female participants (20.0%, p = 0.023). Overweight (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.01; 95% CI: 1.01–4.00; p = 0.046), obesity (aOR: 2.50; 95% CI: 1.09–5.73, p = 0.030), and male gender (aOR: 2.31; 95% CI: 1.07–5.01, p = 0.033) were significantly associated with hyperuricaemia.Conclusion: Our findings indicate a relationship between hyperuricaemia and obesity in HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy in Uganda. Nationwide studies using primary data are needed to better understand this relationship’s epidemiological spread.What this study adds: This study is the first to link obesity with hyperuricaemia among HIV-positive Ugandans on antiretroviral therapy, highlighting obesity as a key metabolic complication of HIV treatment.
Missional view of the Good Samaritan parable in handling neighbourliness in Christ’s view
Authors: Muswubi Takalani A. 
Published: February 2025

Diverse perspectives, be it, theoretical or theological, of the parable of the Good Samaritan, have shaped the mainstream thinking and practices of the global community (that is, global and local churches and communities). Many relief and developmental programmes were shaped, influenced and motivated by Jesus’s parable of the Good Samaritan. The double-sided question about attaining God’s Kingdom and who my neighbour is remains the relational challenge of loving God and loving others, respectively – the whole mark of law and life. Loving God and loving others is a missional call, which should be expressed in handling the issue of neighbourliness. To do so, the question is: what the motive of Jesus’s parable of the Good Samaritans is? This article is set to discuss the selfless love versus the self-righteous love uncovered in the parable of the Good Samaritans using the three main schools of thought, which represent the three Rules that govern human relationships namely, the Iron Rule, the Silver Rule and the Golden Rule.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article is adding a voice to the ongoing debate about the main message, motive and missional call behind the parable of the Good Samaritans. The selfless love as opposed to self-centred and selfish love is not only in demand in the socio-economic and political policies and practices but also should find its concrete expression in handling the issue of neighbourliness among those who are marginalised and underprivileged in South Africa and beyond.
Gender and personal safety sensitization in schools: A qualitative inquiry into response practices to children’s disclosures of sexual abuse
Authors: Ramakrishna Sathish K. , Sharma Eesha , Jangam Kavitha V. , M Rajendra K. 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Schools provide opportunities to educate children on health and safety and encourage disclosures of difficult experiences. Policies and response mechanisms for disclosures are critical in the impact of preventive programs.

Aim:
To understand school policies and practices for disclosures of child sexual abuse (CSA).

Method:
A school-based program on gender, sexuality, and personal safety was implemented in 162 schools between June 2022 and February 2024. The program addressed health, safety, boundaries, help-seeking, gender, sex, love and attraction, and decision-making. It encouraged children to discuss difficult experiences. A standard operating procedure was followed for responding to health or psychosocial issues, focusing on emotional support, avoiding retraumatization, and activating child protection mechanisms. School response practices were observed through extensive field notes maintained during the program implementation.

Results:
The program reached 21,234 students. There were 44 instances of CSA disclosure. Fifteen were high-risk disclosures (recent/proximity to alleged perpetrators/poor psychosocial support). A report was shared with the school/child protection system for further action. There were challenges noted in organizing appropriate responses to children’s health and psychosocial needs at all levels. Schools lacked uniform policy and were unfamiliar with the state and national level provisions for child protection. Schoolteachers conveyed invalidating, disbelieving, and evasive attitudes toward children’s disclosures, and there was no existing coordination between schools and the child protection system.

Conclusion:
Despite national and state level child protection policies, ground realities of response to CSA are highly deficient. Implementation of sexuality education programs, planned in several national endeavors, would be contingent upon school readiness and intersectoral collaborations.
Hindi translation and validation of perinatal grief scale (short version): Assessing grief following stillbirth in bereaved mothers
Authors: Sharma Bharti , Gill Gursahiba , Kumar Ashok , Jindal Har Ashish , Nehra Ritu , Grover Sandeep , Suri Vanita , Aggarwal Neelam 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Perinatal grief is the experience or emotions of parents following the loss of an infant by miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, or elective termination for fetal anomalies.

Aim:
We aimed to translate and adapt the Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) into Hindi and evaluate its psychometric properties in a sample of women who had recently experienced a stillbirth.

Method:
The PGS was translated and adapted into Hindi following the process of translation and adaptation recommended by the World Health Organization. Internal consistency reliability was assessed by calculating Cronbach’s alpha. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were carried out to assess discriminant validity and composite reliability. Additionally, the participants were assessed on four other questionnaires (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire) to test the convergent validity.

Results:
The mean age of the participants was 27.57 years (SD = 4.42), and 7% of the mothers were of advanced age. The Cronbach’s alpha of the three subscales of PGS was more than 0.85, which confirms the reliability of PGS-H. A significant positive correlation was found between PGS-H and scores of STAI, EPDS, GAD7, and PHQ9 (P < 0.05). EFA identified three domains of PGS. In CFA, the goodness of model fit was confirmed with a root mean square error of approximation of 0.06, a comparative fit index of 0.915, and a goodness of fit index of 0.812.

Conclusion:
The PGS-H has been demonstrated to be a reliable and valid instrument for assessing grief in women following pregnancy loss.
Escitalopram-induced hypnic jerks: An overlooked side effect
Authors: Maravi Prashant , Mathur Rahul , Choudhary Richa , Sandhu Simran , Pal Virendra S. 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Hypnic jerks, also known as sleep starts, are sudden, involuntary muscle contractions that occur during the transition from wakefulness to sleep. These typically benign but sometimes distressing movements have been linked to certain medications, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Cases:
This article explores three cases of escitalopram-induced hypnic jerks. A 45-year-old female with major depressive disorder experienced sudden jerks after increasing her escitalopram dose from 10 mg to 15 mg, which improved after reducing the dose and adding clonazepam. A 28-year-old male with adjustment disorder developed involuntary jerks after starting escitalopram 10 mg, with symptoms improving upon clonazepam addition without altering the SSRI dose. A 31-year-old female switched from venlafaxine to escitalopram 10 mg and developed jerky head movements during sleep, which resolved after discontinuing escitalopram and starting fluoxetine.

Implications:
These cases suggest that escitalopram-induced hypnic jerks, though rare, may arise due to serotonin-related motor control changes during sleep. Recognizing these movements as benign can help alleviate patient anxiety. Clinicians should monitor for such symptoms, educate patients, and consider dose modifications or adjunctive treatments like clonazepam to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
A survey of factors affecting parental satisfaction regarding patient care in pediatric intensive care unit at a tertiary hospital in Northern India
Authors: Sahota Lovneet Kaur , Agrawal Nitika , Kumar Rakesh , Simalti Ashish Kumar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
The pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is undoubtedly a stressful environment for parents. Understanding parental satisfaction with the care provided is crucial for enhancing the services offered by healthcare providers and improving families’ experiences during hospitalization. Data regarding parental satisfaction with care in PICU are sparse from India. This study aimed to assess the satisfaction levels of parents whose children were admitted to the PICU and to examine the factors influencing their satisfaction.

Subjects and Methods:
The survey was conducted in PICU of a tertiary care hospital of Northern India over a period of 12 months. Family representatives or guardians of the children were queried using the Pediatric Family Satisfaction-Intensive Care Unit 24R Questionnaire. The questions inquiring about the child’s death were completed via telephone 2–3 weeks after child’s death.

Results:
Majority 82 (72.6%) of parents were “completely satisfied or very satisfied” with a patient care score of 72.19 ± 20.60, a decision-making summary score of 76.91 ± 17.82, and an overall satisfaction score of 74.51 ± 17.97. The lower score was recorded for satisfaction with their participation in daily rounds (70.80 ± 24.52) and frequency of communication with nurses (68.36 ± 20.05).

Conclusions:
Overall most of the parents were satisfied with the care in the PICU. Apart from the parent’s level of anxiety (P = 0.001), factors such as the severity of the child’s illness, hospital finances, or the parent’s level of education did not significantly impact their satisfaction.

Analysis of Teaching Practices in Mathematics and Language Teachers of Public Institutions in Valledupar
Authors: Maria Nelly Rodriguez Estrada  
Published: February 2025

This article underscores the importance of teaching practices in mathematics and language teachers as a fundamental tool that goes beyond writing simple numbers and formulas on a blackboard. Their objective is to analyze the teaching practices of mathematics and language teachers in Valledupar. When identifying the methodologies used by teachers in the teaching of mathematics and language in current education and when analyzing their effectiveness, it is observed that, in the classroom, a traditional approach that hinders students' deep and meaningful learning continues to predominate. Despite the fact that teachers are aware of innovative methodologies, there is resistance to change due to factors such as lack of resources, training and institutional support.
This qualitative, descriptive, non-experimental research is based on semi-structured interviews and observations; A sample of 10 students and 15 teachers from 5 public institutions of Valledupar - Cesar was taken, where the great knowledge of teachers about innovative tools that come before their usual pedagogical practices was evidenced, a continuous improvement in the teaching work is proposed, where active tools are involved with the intention of promoting skills and abilities in students, that help them improve their quality of life. It is based on pedagogical theories such as the processes of mathematical thinking from the initial age of Margarita Marín, the significant learning of David Ausubel, the flipped classroom of Ana Elena Coto, the STEAM approach of Chris Beers and the logical, social and critical thinking of Clavijo and Fresneda, a call is made to educators to imagine the teaching of mathematics.

The purpose of this study is to explore how influential Egyptian women (social media influencers and celebrities) express themselves and how they are perceived by the public. It also investigates the social roles and traits associated with the sample, Instagram post objectives, common topics discussed in Instagram posts, tone of voice delivered through post content and accompanying captions. The current study is a descriptive study that conducted a thorough visual content analysis of posts on Instagram taken and posted by five of the most influential women on Instagram as selected by Egyptian teenagers through a questionnaire. This study uses visual, quantitative content analysis to examine how influential Egyptian women are portrayed on Instagram. The researcher used a sample of 350 Instagram posts from five female Egyptian Instagram influencers, and celebrities. The study results demonstrate that influential Egyptian women on Instagram are primarily positive and evolving. The study results confirmed the existence of a statistically significant correlation between having a modern context of identity and showing sexualized body parts. In addition, there is a correlation of statistical significance between wearing a headscarf and having a "modest" context of identity. In addition, Instagram's representation of powerful Egyptian women indicates that they are primarily self-assured models who positively appeal to their audience about beauty and fashion. Most of their Instagram posts feature veiled women who seem to be self-sufficient. Almost all their Instagram posts are images accompanied by English-language captions.
