Estimation of Crust and Lithospheric Properties for Mercury from High-resolution Gravity and Topography
Authors: Goossens Sander , Genova Antonio , James Peter B. , Mazarico Erwan 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
We have analyzed the entire set of radiometric tracking data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission. This analysis employed a method where standard Doppler tracking data were transformed into line-of-sight accelerations. These accelerations have greater sensitivity to small-scale features than standard Doppler. We estimated a gravity model expressed in spherical harmonics to degree and order 180 and showed that this model is improved, as it has increased correlations with topography in areas where tracking data were collected when the spacecraft altitude was low. The new model was used in an analysis of the localized admittance between gravity and topography to determine properties of Mercury’s lithosphere. Four areas with high correlations between gravity and topography were selected. These areas represent different terrain types: the high-Mg region, the Strindberg crater plus some lobate scarps, heavily cratered terrain, and smooth plains. We employed a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to estimate crustal density, load density, crustal thickness, elastic thickness, load depth, and a load parameter that describes the ratio between surface and depth loading. We find densities around 2600 kg m−3 for three of the areas, with the density for the fourth area, the northern rise, being higher. The elastic thickness is generally low, between 11 and 30 km.
Évaluer les compétences transversales dans l’enseignement supérieur
Authors: Letor Caroline 
Published: June 2022

Dans un contexte de réforme de l’enseignement supérieur, les compétences transversales acquièrent un statut particulier : ellessont désormais placées au cœur des programmes d’enseignement. L’auteure questionne les implications et les conditions organisationnelles de la formation et de l’évaluation de ces compétences dans l’enseignement supérieur. Leur introduction remet en question les objets autour desquels s’organisent les curriculums, ouvrent l’enseignement à d’autres méthodologies d’enseignement apprentissages et tendent à modifier les modes de coordination du travail enseignant régulés traditionnellement par la formule : un professeur, une discipline, une période de cours.
Définir et repérer la dimension sociale de la compétence
Authors: Manach Marlène , Archieri Catherine , Guérin Jérôme 
Published: June 2022

La notion de compétences sociales est au cœur d’une problématique sociétale actuelle : favoriser l’insertion sociale et professionnelle de chacun tout au long de la vie. Cette contribution propose une revue de la littérature scientifique autour de quatre appellations en lien avec la dimension sociale de la compétence : compétences sociales, compétences transversales, compétences génériques et compétences émotionnelles. L’objectif est de montrer dans quelle mesure ces quatre appellations s’appliquent aussi bien au champ scolaire qu’au champ universitaire ou professionnel.
La compétence interactionnelle : un instrument de développement pour penser la formation des adultes
Authors: Filliettaz Laurent 
Published: June 2022

Dans un contexte caractérisé par le recours croissant au langage et le renforcement des activités de services, les adultes font face à des exigences accrues en matière de conduite des interactions verbales et non verbales avec des « usagers ». Ces exigences ne laissent pas intact le champ de la formation. L’article thématise quelques-unes de ces mutations et leurs effets sur les apprentissages et la formation. L’auteur définit le concept de « compétence interactionnelle » pour cerner les exigences pratiques auxquelles les individus font face lorsqu’ils doivent ajuster leur engagement dans l’action à celui d’autres individus.
Former les enseignants à l’empathie pour favoriser l’inclusion des élèves en situation de handicap ?
Authors: Dugas Éric 
Published: June 2022

Les formes ordinaires de l’enseignement concernent l’ensemble des élèves. Or le risque est grand de mettre l’enseignant en difficulté si on ne tient pas compte de ses préoccupations face aux altérités. Des dimensions telles que l’empathie professionnelle et l’intérêt de faire évoluer ses pratiques professionnelles peuvent-elles réduire les risques liés à l’épreuve du handicap ? L’analyse de ces deux processus dévoile que la présence de certains facteurs peut soit faciliter soit contrarier l’ambition affichée.
Sites of Hladnikia pastinacifolia on the southern edge of the Trnovski Gozd Plateau / Rastišča vrste Hladnikia pastinacifolia na južnem robu Trnovskega gozda
Authors: Dakskobler Igor , Rojšek Daniel , Velikonja Elvica 
Published: June 2022

In 2020 and 2021 we sampled 43 relevés with endemic Hladnikia pastinacifolia on the southern edge of the Trnovski Gozd Plateau. We confirmed the literature data dating back more than half a century: the site between Selovec and Krnica. Here, at Veliki Rob and elevation point 1215 at Mt. Čaven (1,185 m), are its southwesternmost known sites. The recorded stands are classified in communities of rock crevices, stony grasslands, scree slopes and stone piles undergoing overgrowth, and in open secondary black pine forests. Populations on most of the investigated localities are vital, with the exception of the easternmost locality at the pasture Šunik at Predmeja, where we identified only a few specimens.

IZVLEČEK
V letih 2020 in 2021 smo na južnem robu Trnovskega gozda naredili 43 fitocenoloških popisov, v katerih uspeva endemit Hladnikia pastinacifolia. Potrdili smo literaturni podatek izpred več kot pol stoletja: med Selovcem in Krnico. Med tema krajema sta Velik rob in kota 1215 m pri vzpetini Čaven (1185 m), kjer so za zdaj njegova najbolj jugozahodna nahajališča. Popisane sestoje uvrščamo v združbe skalnih razpok, kamnitih travišč, melišč in kamnišč v zaraščanju in svetlih drugotnih gozdov črnega bora. Populacije na večini pregledanih nahajališč so vitalne, izjema je najbolj vzhodno nahajališče na pašniku Šunik na Predmeji, kjer smo našli le nekaj primerkov.
Travailleurs migrants âgés en foyer. La prise en compte des situations d’interculturalité pour lutter contre la vulnérabilité en santé
Authors: O’Deye Adrienne , Berot-Inard Thierry , Joseph Vincent , Brenon Gérald 
Published: June 2022

À partir d’une démarche d’anthropologie pratique initiée par le cabinet Anthropos, cet article rend compte d’éléments d’analyse des situations de vulnérabilité en santé de travailleurs migrants âgés vivant en habitat social adapté (foyer ou résidence sociale). Les constats partagés par les professionnels des foyers et par les intervenants en santé soulignent que les résidents âgés de 60 ans ou plus cumulent plusieurs facteurs aggravant leur vulnérabilité et qu’ils recourent moins souvent aux soins que les autres résidents.L’étude a permis de mieux comprendre la faible participation des travailleurs âgés aux actions de santé et de repérer l’existence de nombreux « mal-entendus » persistants, mais non révélés, rendant impossible la compréhension des messages entre les résidents et les professionnels de santé.La vulnérabilité en santé des migrants âgés est aggravée par la non reconnaissance des situations d’interculturalité. Lutter contre la vulnérabilité en santé se situe moins dans le changement de posture à opérer par les « patients » eux-mêmes que dans les modes opératoires que cette étude propose de repenser.
Étude de trois situations de vulnérabilité chez les personnes âgées de 55 à 85 ans en France
Authors: Léon Christophe , Pin Stéphanie , Roscoät Enguerrand du 
Published: June 2022

L’objectif de cet article est d’identifier le profil de personnes âgées de 55 à 85 ans vulnérables et les facteurs de vulnérabilités associés. À partir des données du Baromètre santé 2010, trois situations de vulnérabilité ont ainsi été définies : l’absence de lien social récent, la faiblesse des revenus du foyer et la forte limitation fonctionnelle dans les activités de la vie quotidienne. Plus d’une personne âgée de 55-85 ans sur dix est vulnérable du fait de l’absence de lien social récent ou d’une limitation fonctionnelle forte, et un quart financièrement. Des inégalités sociales existent et les vulnérabilités sont associées à des comportements de santé moins favorables. Ainsi, l’absence de lien social concerne davantage les hommes, les fumeurs réguliers et les personnes ayant des troubles psychiques. Les faibles revenus du foyer concernent davantage les moins diplômés et s’accentuent avec l’avancée en âge. La forte limitation fonctionnelle est plus probable en cas de revenus peu élevés et quand les personnes vivent seules, elle est associée également à des habitudes de vie défavorables à la santé et à des troubles psychiques. Enfin, le cumul de ces situations de vulnérabilité est amplifié par de mauvaises habitudes de vie, de la détresse psychologique, des pensées suicidaires et un moindre accès aux soins.Cet article souligne, dans une approche de promotion de la santé, qu’il est utile de cibler les personnes âgées vulnérables, en adoptant une perspective large de la vulnérabilité ne se limitant pas aux seules dimensions physiques des personnes.
Les femmes et les hommes migrant‑e‑s d’Afrique subsaharienne face au VIH-SIDA en France : des réseaux sexuels et des pratiques de protection genrés
Authors: Marsicano Élise 
Published: June 2022

Les femmes et les hommes migrant‑e‑s d’Afrique subsaharienne sont très touchés par l’épidémie de VIH-SIDA en France. En mobilisant une enquête quantitative menée en 2005 auprès de 973 femmes et 901 hommes nés en Afrique subsaharienne et vivant en Île-de-France, cet article se propose de montrer que la ségrégation des réseaux sexuels et le multipartenariat contribuent à rendre compte de la diffusion de l’épidémie parmi ces migrant‑e‑s. La ségrégation des réseaux sexuels conduit à des relations entre des migrant‑e‑s originaires de pays à faible prévalence et à prévalence élevée. En outre, les hommes et les femmes de cette enquête n’ont pas les mêmes réseaux sexuels : les femmes ont plus souvent des partenaires d’Afrique subsaharienne et ont également plus souvent des partenaires sexuels ayant plus de partenaires qu’elles, ce qui peut entraîner des situations d’exposition au risque majorée pour les femmes. Quant aux hommes, ils sont engagés dans des relations simultanées de longue durée, ce qui peut constituer un contexte propice à la transmission.
Alboserpin, the Main Salivary Anticoagulant from the Disease Vector Aedes albopictus, Displays Anti–FXa-PAR Signaling In Vitro and In Vivo

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Blood-feeding arthropods secrete potent salivary molecules, which include platelet aggregation inhibitors, vasodilators, and anticoagulants. Among these molecules, Alboserpin, the major salivary anticoagulant from the mosquito vector Aedes albopictus, is a specific inhibitor of the human coagulation factor Xa (FXa). In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of Alboserpin, in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, Alboserpin inhibited FXa-induced protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1, PAR-2, PAR-3, VCAM, ICAM, and NF-κB gene expression in primary dermal microvascular endothelial cells. Alboserpin also prevented FXa-stimulated ERK1/2 gene expression and subsequent inflammatory cytokine release (MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-18). In vivo, Alboserpin reduced paw edema induced by FXa and subsequent release of inflammatory cytokines (CCL2, MCP-1, IL-1α, IL-6, IL-1β). Alboserpin also reduced FXa-induced endothelial permeability in vitro and in vivo. These findings show that Alboserpin is a potent anti-inflammatory molecule, in vivo and in vitro, and may play a significant role in blood feeding.

Introduction:
Bladder exstrophy is a major malformation in paediatric urology. The treatment results are not still completely satisfactory, and their management is an enormous problem in Sub-Saharan Africa. While outlining our challenges, we report our management experience to improve our results.

Subjects and Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients undergoing surgical repair of classic bladder exstrophy at our department between January 2010 and December 2019 (10 years). Epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolution data were analysed.

Results:
Twenty-five children with classic bladder exstrophy were treated. Our series included 16 boys and 9 girls with a sex ratio of 1.7. Age ranged from 0 day to 6 years. Twenty-five bladder closures were performed, associated to pelvic osteotomy in 11 cases. Epispadias repair was performed on nine boys. Eight cases of bladder neck reconstruction and three cases of bladder enlargement were performed. We observed six bladder fistulas, four wound dehiscence, of which three partial, two parietal suppurations and six cases of urinary tract infection. Eight children had a continence of 1–2 h.

Conclusion:
The treatment of bladder exstrophy in our context is still limited because of financial difficulties encountered by the population and the insufficient technical platform in our country.
Elastic Stable Intramedullary Fixation Using Epibloc versus Crossed Kirschner Wires Fixation for Distal Forearm Fractures in Children
Authors: De Vitis Rocco , D'Orio Marco , Passiatore Marco , Perna Andrea , Cilli Vitale , Taccardo Giuseppe 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Childrens' distal forearm fractures (DFFs) could be treated conservatively with closed reduction and immobilisation, but post-reduction displacements often occur. Displaced DFF should be surgically fixed, to avoid further displacement. Nevertheless, immobilisation after surgery is recommended. Epibloc system (ES), a system of stable elastic nail fixation, is widely used to stabilise adults extra-articular distal radius fractures, with advantages to not requiring post-surgical immobilisation. The present investigation represents a retrospective analysis of paediatric patients with DFF treated with ES applied with a minimal technical variation, to fix both ulna and radius fractures using a unique device.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective analysis was performed on 44 children (age 6–11 years) who underwent closed reduction and internal fixation because of DFF (both ulna and radius). Group A (21 patients): ES fixation. Group B (23 patients): K-wires and short arm cast fixation. The primary outcome was the subsistence of reduction monitored through X-rays. The secondary outcome was the measurement of active range of motion (AROM) and the time of recovery.

Results:
No differences were observed comparing Group A and B in terms of the maintenance of reduction (P > 0.05). Seven days after the implant removal, patients in Group A reached significantly better results compared to patients in Group B in terms of AROM (P < 0.05). No differences were revealed in terms of complications between the two groups.

Conclusion:
ES applied with a minimal technical variation is safe and effective in treating distal ulna and radius fractures, with minimal requirement of post-surgical rehabilitation.
Laparoscopic Fundoplication after Oesophageal Atresia Repair
Authors: Scarpa Maria-Grazia , Codrich Daniela , Duci Miriam , Olenik Damiana , Schleef Jürgen 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare congenital malformation. A high incidence of GER unresponsive to medical management is noted with EA. Literature suggests that complications from GER can persist in adulthood. In paediatric age, laparoscopic treatment is a valid option even if recurrence rate is not negligible.

Aims and Objectives:
To evaluate our experience with gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) treatment after esophageal atresia (EA) repair.

Materials and Methods:
We retrospectively analysed 29 consecutive patients treated for EA at birth and studied for GER at our Institute in a period of 11 years.

Results:
24/29 (82,7%) cases had symptoms of reflux, 17/29 (58,6%) cases were treated with laparoscopic fundoplication (LF). Three infants were younger than 6 months and had apparent life threatening events (ALTE) condition as principal indication for surgery. No intra-operative complications occurred. 3/17 LF had open surgical conversion due to technical problems. 2/17 cases required a second operation. At the last follow-up: (1) 6/17 (35,3%) of patients healed after the last operation, (2) 8/17 (47,1%) have GER improvement (four still in medical treatment), (3)2/17 (11,8%) have persistent GER, (4)1/17 (5,9%) died for causes not related to antireflux surgery.

Conclusions:
According to literature and to our retrospective analysis, LF for GER after EA repair is feasible, even if recurrence risk is not negligible. Infants less than 6 months old with associated conditions (malformations, gastrostomy/jejunostomy) seem to have a higher failure rate with a greater risk of conversion. Longer follow-up and multicenter experiences would guarantee an adequate surveillance for patients with EA.

Authors: Kota V. Subbalakshmi , Settem V. V. Jagadeesh , Roy Khyati 
Published: June 2022

Background and Aim:
With the advent of pharmacological agents, there were many changes in prescription patterns for modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) over time across the globe. This study aims to evaluate the main indications and prescription patterns of MECT in a tertiary care center.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective medical record review was done in a tertiary care hospital after the institutional ethics committee approval, accessing the MECT records of 310 patients who underwent the procedure during the 5-year study period using a semi-structured pro forma.

Results:
In our file review, we found that the most common diagnosis, for which MECT was prescribed, was schizophrenia 146 cases (47%), and the common indication was augmentation of therapy/to speed up the rate of improvement. Depressive disorder was the primary diagnosis in 81 (26%) cases followed by mania in 46 (15%) cases. Among the major symptomatology which led to the primary use of MECT, suicidality accounted for 72 (23.2%) cases and catatonia in 34 (11%) cases. The mean number of MECTs during the course was 6.4 (2.5) in bipolar disorder, and in schizophrenia, it was 6.3 (2.3). A response rate of 85% was observed. Patient acceptability of MECT was good as only seven (2.3%) patients withdrew consent after initiation of treatment.

Conclusion:
Most common diagnosis, for which MECT was prescribed, was schizophrenia followed by depression. MECT was most commonly used as an augmentation strategy; however, in case of depression, it was used as first line of management. Response rate to MECT and acceptability were good in majority.
Effect of Foam Rolling of Quadriceps, Hamstring, and IT Band on Knee Passive Range of Motion and Physical Function in Patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome - Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Vaidya Shlesha Maulik 
Published: June 2022

Background and Aim:
There are several techniques for limited and painful knee flexion, but there are very few evidences about the effect of foam rolling in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). A Randomized control study was designed to determine the effect of foam rolling as well as of stretching on knee passive range of motion (ROM) and functional status in patients with patellofemoral pain and to compare the effect with that of static stretching.

Materials and Methods:
Thirty patients diagnosed with chronic knee pain were randomized into two groups (experimental and controlled groups) with 15 subjects in each group. The experimental group received foam rolling exercises on quadriceps, hamstring, and IT band muscles. Passive stretching of all the abovementioned muscles was given to the controlled group. The intervention was given for 3 alternate days per week for 4 weeks per patient. Strengthening exercises were given to both the groups. Outcome measures were passive ROM and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score scale.

Results:
Within-group analysis (P < 0.05) showed that both the interventions had a significant effect on passive range of motion and physical function in patients with PFPS. However, intergroup analysis (P > 0.05) showed that there is no significant difference between the two groups in terms of outcome measure.

Conclusion:
Both foam rolling and conventional treatment (stretching) are effective in improving knee ROM and functional status in patients with PFPS. However, the myofascial release (foam rolling) treatment showed slightly better (however, not significant) clinical improvement in terms of improving knee ROM and functional status in patients with PFPS.
Blood Use in Haematological Malignancies in Calabar
Authors: Akaba Kingsley , Igwilo Hilary , Akaba Edakabasi 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Patients with haematological malignancies are often multiply transfused. Blood use by this patient has both medical, economic, and social implications, and the frequency of blood transfusion among this cohort of patients is being scrutinized.

Aim:
The study aimed at profiling the blood use by patients with haematological malignancies managed at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH).

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective study that was conducted based on the frequency of blood use among haematological malignancies patients at UCTH, Calabar. Data on blood use by haematologic malignancies (HM) patients at the UCTH from July 2019 to June 2021 were retrieved from the medical records in terms of sex, age, type of HM, and frequency of blood use during the period of review. The data and results collated were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2016 and IBM SPSS version 21. The data were analyzed using simple statistics (frequencies and percentages), and the results were presented in tables and charts.

Results:
A total of 48 HMs patients managed in our facility were included in the cohort, and a total of 102 blood was used during the period of review. Overall, the frequency of blood transfusion varies from one type of HM to another. Patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL), and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) account for 92.2% of blood transfused, whereas Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), multiple myeloma (MM), and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) represent 7.8%. The male-to-female ratio was 1.5:1. Overall age ranges from 20 to 89 years, the mode was 54 years, and the median age was 53 years. NHL is said to consume 45 units of the whole, followed by CLL and AML, both used 17 units each, whereas CML and HL were said to have used 15 units and 8 units, respectively, with MM and ALL nil. There is also a significant association between type of haematological malignancies and blood transfusion (P = 0.0016).

Conclusion:
This study presents an overview of blood transfusion use in patients with haematological malignancies. The implication of blood utilization is the shortage of blood and increased incidence of blood complications such as transfusion-transmissible infections and alloimmunization with HM patients. Furthermore, the financial burden on the patient, the cost implication of procuring a unit of whole blood which is between 20 and 30 dollars, especially in a low-resource country, where remuneration blood donation is still the major source as compared to the standard voluntary donation in a low-resource setting like ours where the poor attitude toward blood donation still remains a great challenge.
