Unequal Transitions: Two Métis Women in Eighteenth-Century Île Royale
Authors: Lane Jonah Anne-Marie 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Cette étude établit une comparaison entre deux françaises coloniales nées dans deux communautés périphériques d’Acadie au XVIIIe siècle (aujourd’hui la Nouvelle Écosse péninsulaire et le sud du Nouveau Brunswick). Ces deux femmes, qui avaient des pères européens et des mères d’origines mixtes, européennes et amérindiennes, ont déménagé pour s’installer dans la colonie française de l’île Royale (aujourd’hui le Cap-Breton), puis se sont mariées dans la société de ce centre colonial administratif, militaire et commercial. L’une a fini ses jours comme femme d’affaires accomplie et épouse d’officier, intégrant ainsi l’élite coloniale. L’autre fut l’objet d’un processus juridique qui mit fin à son mariage avec un officier. Les ressemblances entre ces femmes et les différences entre leurs sorts démontrent la nature contingente des idées que se faisaient les français coloniaux des notions de race, de classe, et de sexe. Durant leur vie, l’interprétation et la manipulation de ces facteurs qui constituent l’identité par ces femmes, leurs familles et les autorités coloniales, ont déterminé la réussite des efforts qu’elles ont fait pour passer d’une société coloniale à une autre.
Traître au colonialisme? The Georges Boudarel Affair and the Memory of the Indochina War
Authors: Edwards M. Kathryn 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Le 13 février 1991, le Professeur Georges Boudarel a été interpelé, lors d’un congrès au Sénat sur "L’actualité vietnamienne," par un groupe d’anciens combattants, qui l’ont accusé d’avoir été ’commissaire politique’ dans le camp Viêt minh 113 et d’être ainsi responsable d’un nombre élevé de morts. "L’affaire Boudarel" a éclaté, provoquant un débat public intense, centré non seulement sur les actions de Boudarel (qu’il qualifiait lui-même d’anticoloniales), mais sur la nature de la guerre d’Indochine et les mérites du projet colonial. La complexité de la guerre, qui était à la fois une guerre coloniale et un point chaud de la guerre froide, a retenti dans ces débats, les défenseurs de Boudarel insistant sur la nature coloniale du conflit, tandis que ses détracteurs ne reconnaissaient que l’objectif anticommuniste des forces françaises. Cet article analyse les débats concernant la nature de la guerre, ainsi que les enjeux médiatiques de la question de la ’mémoire’ de la guerre d’Indochine, avant d’élargir la discussion afin de replacer l’affaire Boudarel dans le contexte plus large de la question mémorielle en France.
Après l’Empire: Violences institutionnelles dans le Djibouti colonial tardif
Authors: Imbert-Vier Simon 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article presents and analyzes a set of institutional manifestations of violence that took place in a late colonial situation—the French Territory ofAfars and Issas from 1966 up to its independence in 1977—with the announced aim of blocking migratory movements and maintaining French sovereignty over the territory. The present article describes this violence mostly performed by military forces (“barrage,” endless physical control of the inhabitants of the autochthonous areas, evictions, indexing, etc.), and the way it was legitimized by an identity assignation process, the methods and ideological resources of which are explained. This example from a recent past shows the stakes and methods of migration control, and the possible infringement on the rule of law it can cause in a postcolonial state. Its study, however, shows that the colonial situation is not sufficient in itself to explain this use of extraordinary coercive procedures. They participate in the construction of national identity, but are also responsible for the difficulties of its construction. This situation is part of the evolution of the technologies of institutional violence after World War II, mostly applied to “foreigners.”
Cosmopolitisme impérial et nationalisme: La vie circulaire d’Albert Rakoto Ratsimamanga (1907–2001)
Authors: Galibert Didier 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Albert Rakoto Ratsimamanga arrived in France with the Malagasy delegation to the Colonial Exposition of 1931. The founder of the Association des Étudiants d’origine malgache (1934) and of the Mouvement démocratique pour la Rénovation de Madagascar (1946), he was a physician and a biologist, and he joined the Centre national de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) as a senior researcher, pursuing his scientific career and his nationalistic involvement in the postwar Paris of the 1950s. He was the first ambassador of the Malagasy Republic to France, for 13 years, before he returned to settle permanently in Madagascar in 1975. The transversality of his life course can be interpreted along several lines: chronologic straddling of this diasporic projection with political independence, loyalty to an aristocratic ethos with a progressive rallying to a republican conception of citizenship, and imperial circulation of knowledge attested to by the foundation of the Institut malgache de Recherches appliquées in 1957. Moreover, the paper points out the heuristic significance of the memorialization of his part as the nation’s father, standing up for the hypothesis of a retrospective enlightening of the state’s transmission continuum, within an ideological and institutional framework that was constantly being negotiated with the former colonial power.
Moving Day in the House Divided: Contextual Substantiation and Constitutional Unionism in Vice President John C. Breckinridge’s Address on the Removal of the Senate to its New Chambers, January 4, 1859
Authors: Griffin Charles J. G. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This essay examines the speech delivered by Vice President John C. Breckinridge on the occasion of the removal of the United States Senate to its new chambers on January 4, 1859. Drawing upon Kenneth Burkes concept of contextual substance, I argue that Breckinridge constructs the Senate’s transition to its new quarters as a defense of constitutional unionism, a conservative political ideology holding that the survival and prosperity of the Union depended upon its continued adherence to the compromises enshrined in the Republics founding document. In an age dominated by increasingly strident rhetorical extremes, constitutional unionism represented a beleaguered vision of Union that was soon eclipsed by the Civil War and today is all but forgotten. Analysis of the Removal Address thus illumines the rhetoric of an important yet neglected political ideology while disclosing the rhetorical "alchemy" by which geometric, familial, and directional substance reconcile continuity and change in leave-taking discourse.
"Nigh unto Death": NDE Research and the Book of Mormon
Authors: Christensen Kevin 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article suggests that contemporary near-death research casts light on several episodes in the Book of Mormon. Alma’s conversion while "nigh unto death" fits a common pattern of experience. Modern researchers have noticed distinctive aftereffects among NDErs. In the Book of Mormon, both Alma and the resurrected Christ demonstrate these aftereffects. Lehi’s dream invites comparison with the otherworld journey literature of many nations. Nephi’s interpretation of Lehi’s dream casts light on the tension between the literal and the symbolic elements of visionary experience. Finally, just as accurate out-of-body observations made by NDErs argued for the reality of their experiences, so the testable aspects of the Book of Mormon give Joseph Smith a significance apart from others who may have experienced similar visions.
Basic Methodological Problems with the Anti-Mormon Approach to the Geography and Archaeology of the Book of Mormon
Authors: Hamblin William J. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Anti-Mormon criticisms of the Book of Mormon are frequently based on a questionable set of assumptions concerning the nature of historical and archaeological evidence, the role of governing presuppositions, and the nature of historical proof. Using arguments found in a recent anti-Mormon critique by Luke Wilson as a foundation, this article analyzes issues of the difficulties of reconstructing ancient geographies, problems with the discontinuity of Mesoamerican toponyms, the historical development of the idea of a Limited Geography Model, and difficulties of textual and artifactual interpretation when trying to relate the Book of Mormon to archaeological remains.
Hubris and Atē: A Latter-day Warning from the Book of Mormon
Authors: Draper Richard D. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Civilizations fall due to complex pressures, but the Book of Mormon points to one sin which assisted if not drove the demise of both the Nephite and Jaredite peoples. This sin was pride. This essay ties pride to the Old World concepts of hubris and atē as a means of revealing the dynamic nature of this sin and exploring its deadly character. It shows that pride leads to hubris, the attempt by individuals and nations to become a law unto themselves, and that the consequence of hubris is atē, a spiritual blindness that impels the individual or society toward its doom. The paper warns the Latter-day Saint about this vice.
Book of Mormon Event Structure: The Ancient Near East
Authors: Smith Robert F. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The Book of Mormon annals open in an ancient Near Eastern context. The archaeological-historical context is carefully outlined here within a systematic chronology that is tied to fixed, absolute dates of recorded astronomical events—particularly those from cuneiform eponym calendars. The resultant matrix allows those early Book of Mormon events to be understood in a rational, familiar, and meaningful way, i.e., in a biblical context. In addition, an excursus is devoted to understanding the Arabia of the Book of Mormon as the Lehite exiles must have known it. Throughout it is clear that the world depicted by the Book of Mormon dovetails remarkably well with what we know of the ancient Near East.
Cell-Surface Autoantibody Targets Zinc Transporter-8 (ZnT8) for In Vivo β-Cell Imaging and Islet-Specific Therapies

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disease in which autoimmune attacks are directed at the insulin-producing β-cell in the pancreatic islet. Autoantigens on the β-cell surface membrane are specific markers for molecular recognition and targets for engagement by autoreactive B lymphocytes, which produce islet cell surface autoantibody (ICSA) upon activation. We report the cloning of an ICSA (mAb43) that recognizes a major T1D autoantigen, ZnT8, with a subnanomolar binding affinity and conformation specificity. We demonstrate that cell-surface binding of mAb43 protects the extracellular epitope of ZnT8 against immunolabeling by serum ICSA from a patient with T1D. Furthermore, mAb43 exhibits in vitro and ex vivo specificity for islet cells, mirroring the exquisite specificity of islet autoimmunity in T1D. Systemic administration of mAb43 yields a pancreas-specific biodistribution in mice and islet homing of an mAb43-linked imaging payload through the pancreatic vasculature, thereby validating the in vivo specificity of mAb43. Identifying ZnT8 as a major antigenic target of ICSA allows for research into the molecular recognition and engagement of autoreactive B cells in the chronic phase of T1D progression. The in vivo islet specificity of mAb43 could be further exploited to develop in vivo imaging and islet-specific immunotherapies.

Background and purpose: The interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block is a novel anesthetic technique for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our objective was to compare the effect of IPACK and adductor canal block (ACB) and periarticular injection (PAI), relative to ACB and PAI only, from baseline to postoperative day 3, in patients undergoing unilateral primary TKA.Patients and methods: This was a single-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Adults over the age of 50 who were scheduled for unilateral primary TKA were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to ACB and PAI block (control group), or ACB, PAI, and IPACK block (IPACK group). The primary outcome was mean pain at rest during 24–48 hours post-operation using a numerical rating scale (0–10). We also investigated opioid use and ambulation pain.Results: 89 patients were evaluated, 45 from the control group and 44 from the IPACK group. Despite slightly higher mean pain score at rest in the control group, no statistically significant difference was found during 0–24 hours (0.13; 95% CI –0.19 to 0.46), 24–48 hours (0.42; CI –0.06 to 0.89), and 48–72 hours (0.35; CI 0.00 to 0.69) postoperatively as well as in maximum pain scores at rest. Neither pain during ambulation nor the number of opioids used differed between the trial groups at any given time point.Conclusion: The addition of the IPACK block to ACB and PAI did not reduce postoperative pain intensity or opioid usage. Therefore, IPACK block may not offer any benefit for pain management in patients undergoing unilateral primary TKA who are already receiving ACB and PAI.

The Impact of Time on Learning Outcomes: Lessons from the Delivery of High School Mathematics Curriculum in Ghana
Authors: Mensah Farouq Sessah , Yarkwah Christopher 
Published: November 2022

A student’s productive learning time is proportional to the length of time they spend working during their lessons. However, it is important to remember that the issues with educational time are not just about optimizing “in-school time.” The study is prompted by the time spent in school and how it impacts students learning outcomes in core mathematics, considering two different year groups for the May/June 2013 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE-standardized examination written by Anglophonic countries of West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and the Gambia)). The study compares students’ learning outcomes in the May/June 2013 WASSCE. The study uses a descriptive survey design and conveniently collected data from 10 Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the Central Region of Ghana. The results of the study showed no statistically significant difference in core mathematics grades between students who spent four years and those who spent three years in SHS. Thus, time is not the sole determinant of a student’s learning outcome, as has been suggested by some studies.

This research is a meta-analysis of the influence of student worksheets on students' critical and creative thinking skills. Education currently uses the 2013 curriculum. The curriculum demands to learn that provides opportunities for students to develop all their potential. This meta-analysis study aims to determine the effect size value of the effect of using worksheets on students' critical and creative thinking skills based on education level, material unit, and learning model. The sample of this study used 20 national and international articles. The articles used in this study have been analyzed and meet the categories for effect size calculations and are grouped based on three indicators. There are three group indicators analyzed, namely based on education level, based on material units, and based on learning models. The results of this meta-analysis study are 1) Based on junior high and high school education levels, the effect of using student worksheets is equally effective against improving critical and creative thinking skills, but when compared to the effect size results, the SMA level has a higher value, 2) Based on the material unit, fluid material units are more effectively used to improve critical and creative thinking skills, and 3) Based on the learning model, the cooperative learning model is effectively used to improve critical thinking skills and problem-solving is effective to improve students' creative thinking skills.

Microbially-Produced Organic Acids as Leaching Agents for Metal Recovery Processes
Authors: Cruz-Rodríguez Itzel A. , Rojas-Avelizapa Norma G. , Rivas-Castillo Andrea M. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Minerals have been important throughout history, but nowadays, their use has increased, as well as their extraction needs. Therefore, due to the growing demand for metals, and both the depletion of high-grade ores and their related environmental concerns, the mining industry has been forced to leave behind the past traditional techniques of metal recovery (use of inorganic acids), and adopt eco-friendlier alternatives, such as the utilization of weaker leaching agents, such as organic acids. Thus, the present review is focused on the use of microbially-produced organic acids as a promising alternative to conventional techniques in the mining industry, with emphasis on the following topics: a) the advantages and disadvantages of the use of organic acids for leaching purposes, b) the main microorganisms studied for the production of these organic acids, c) a summary of the latest reports on bioleaching as well as a comparison of the existent techniques; d) the explanation of leaching mechanisms where organic acids may be involved, to fulfill metal recovery; and, e) interactions between metallic ions and organic acids. The review of the current knowledge regarding the use of organic acids for leaching purposes seeks the visualization of relevant strategies that may be improved for metal-recovery processes, intending to develop circular economy practices that may have the potential to be implemented at an industrial scale.
Opportunistic Pathogens of the Genus Cryptococcus in Louis Pasteur Days and in 200th Anniversary of his Birth
Authors: Dyląg Mariusz 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This year we are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis Pasteur, one of the fathers of microbiology. Interestingly, the time when Pasteur disproved the doctrine of „spontaneous generation” and announced the “germ theory of disease” coincides with the discovery of Cryptococcus neoformans and its role in cryptococcosis. Today, only in the realm of guesswork can remain the correct answer to the question „whether the observed parallelism of these events was accidental?” or „whether Pasteur’s discoveries constituted a solid foundation of the research on the etiological factors of cryptococcosis?”. Until recently, it might seem that all major virulence factors of pathogenic fungi of the Cryptococcus species complex have been thoroughly described. Meanwhile, the simultaneous publication in 2018 of three in vitro protocols for the induction of Titan cells, also known as giant cells, opened up new possibilities for research on the relatively uncharacterized virulence factor that is crucial for Cryptococcus spp. Research on the titanization process makes us realize how little we know about the virulence factors of these fungi, and how much more can be improved in the context of the treatment and prevention of cryptococcosis. The following review is not only a historical outline of research on Cryptococcus spp. and cryptococcosis, but also synthetically describes the virulence factors of these basidiomycetous yeasts, with particular emphasis on the titanization process. The phenomenon of titanization as a process of a specific morphological transformation, like Titan cells, are completely new terms in Polish literature, which will be introduced to readers here. We live in a post-antibiotic era where the lack of effective and non-toxic drugs affects patients all over the world. Specifically, the availability of only fluconazole, amphotericin B and flucytosine in therapy of cryptococcosis constitutes a significant limitation. For this reason, research on the virulence factors of Cryptococcus spp. will allow to find new effective antimycotics, including inhibitors of the titanization process.
