A raridade no contexto da observação de aves: o caso da ararinha-azul (Cyanopsitta spixii) e os desafios futuros
Authors: Corbari Sandra Dalila 
Published: June 2022

Birdwatching, ou observação de aves, é uma atividade que une lazer e ciência cidadã. A prática contribui positivamente nas regiões de destino dos viajantes, mas também em seus locais de origem, gerando impactos sociais, econômicos e ambientais positivos. Não obstante, também pode gerar impactos diretos e indiretos negativos, relacionados à degradação do habitat e perturbação das aves, podendo levar à alteração de comportamentos, diminuição da população ou extinção de espécies. No caso de aves raras, as interferências antrópicas podem ser ainda mais danosas. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo tem como recorte analítico o caso da espécie ararinha-azul (Cyanopsitta spixii), originária do nordeste do estado da Bahia (Brasil). Essa espécie, considerada extinta na natureza, é objeto de um projeto de conservação que visa sua reintrodução na natureza em 2024. Frente a esse contexto, o presente artigo foi elaborado tendo como problema central de pesquisa o seguinte questionamento: Quais desafios futuros poderão se apresentar frente à atratividade das ararinhas-azuis que serão reintroduzidas na natureza no contexto do turismo de observação de aves? O objetivo geral foi discorrer e refletir sobre os desafios futuros em relação ao turismo de observação de aves e seus impactos na população de ararinhas-azuis a serem reintroduzidas na natureza. Esse artigo tem um caráter analítico com base em dados secundários (páginas da internet, livros, artigos científicos e documentos), tanto em relação ao objeto de estudo quanto no embasamento teórico para a análise. Com a pesquisa, verificou-se que a observação de aves, enquanto atividade sistemática, pode gerar impactos negativos no habitat e nas populações animais e isso tem potencial de se agravar em caso de espécies raras. Desse modo, as instituições envolvidas no projeto de conservação da ararinha-azul devem inserir em sua agenda de debates e ações futuras, a estruturação e gestão da observação dessas aves, a fim de garantir a integridade das ações de conservação e o bem-estar das aves.

Abstract
The ability to recognize someone’s voice spans a broad spectrum with phonagnosia on the low end and super-recognition at the high end. Yet there is no standardized test to measure an individual’s ability of learning and recognizing newly learned voices with samples of speech-like phonetic variability. We have developed the Jena Voice Learning and Memory Test (JVLMT), a 22-min test based on item response theory and applicable across languages. The JVLMT consists of three phases in which participants (1) become familiarized with eight speakers, (2) revise the learned voices, and (3) perform a 3AFC recognition task, using pseudo-sentences devoid of semantic content. Acoustic (dis)similarity analyses were used to create items with various levels of difficulty. Test scores are based on 22 items which had been selected and validated based on two online studies with 232 and 454 participants, respectively. Mean accuracy in the JVLMT is 0.51 (SD = .18) with an empirical (marginal) reliability of 0.66. Correlational analyses showed high and moderate convergent validity with the Bangor Voice Matching Test (BVMT) and Glasgow Voice Memory Test (GVMT), respectively, and high discriminant validity with a digit span test. Four participants with potential super recognition abilities and seven participants with potential phonagnosia were identified who performed at least 2 SDs above or below the mean, respectively. The JVLMT is a promising research and diagnostic screening tool to detect both impairments in voice recognition and super-recognition abilities.

AbstractEarly detection of risk of failure on interactive tasks comes with great potential for better understanding how examinees differ in their initial behavior as well as for adaptively tailoring interactive tasks to examinees’ competence levels. Drawing on procedures originating in shopper intent prediction on e-commerce platforms, we introduce and showcase a machine learning-based procedure that leverages early-window clickstream data for systematically investigating early predictability of behavioral outcomes on interactive tasks. We derive features related to the occurrence, frequency, sequentiality, and timing of performed actions from early-window clickstreams and use extreme gradient boosting for classification. Multiple measures are suggested to evaluate the quality and utility of early predictions. The procedure is outlined by investigating early predictability of failure on two PIAAC 2012 Problem Solving in Technology Rich Environments (PSTRE) tasks. We investigated early windows of varying size in terms of time and in terms of actions. We achieved good prediction performance at stages where examinees had, on average, at least two thirds of their solution process ahead of them, and the vast majority of examinees who failed could potentially be detected to be at risk before completing the task. In-depth analyses revealed different features to be indicative of success and failure at different stages of the solution process, thereby highlighting the potential of the applied procedure for gaining a finer-grained understanding of the trajectories of behavioral patterns on interactive tasks.

ObjectiveHealth-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important aspect in the management of chronic diseases such as spondyloarthritis (SpA). A promising approach to reduce respondent burden when measuring HRQOL is the use of shorter patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) delivered using computerized adaptive tests (CATs). However, the lack of an item bank that covers the entire continuum of the HRQOL domain impedes the development of CATs to measure HRQOL among patients with SpA. We aimed to develop an item bank for an HRQOL measure among patients with SpA based on the items from existing validated PROMs.MethodsThis study is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) and Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) standards. Relevant articles were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, and PsycINFO (Ovid) databases. Items from existing PROMs were binned and winnowed according to the facets of HRQOL in the World Health Organization (WHO) quality of life framework.ResultsWe identified 147 relevant articles, from which written permission was obtained for including 31 PROMs into the item bank. PROMs contained 1039 items, which underwent binning and winnowing. This resulted in 968 items covering 23 domains of HRQOL in the WHO framework, with the number of items within each domain ranging from 1 to 453.ConclusionWe created an item bank to measure HRQOL among patients with SpA using items from validated PROMs. This set can provide the foundation for the development of CATs to measure HRQOL among patients with SpA.

ObjectiveOur objective was to assess the effectiveness of conventional and targeted disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (cDMARDs and tDMARDs, respectively) in treating enthesitis in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).MethodsPatients with active enthesitis, defined as ≥ 1 tender entheses (of the 29 enthesis sites included in the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada Enthesitis Index, the Leeds Enthesitis Index, and the Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score), who were enrolled in a large PsA cohort were included. Medications at baseline were classified into 3 mutually exclusive categories: (1) no treatment or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) only; (2) cDMARDs ± NSAIDs; and (3) tDMARDs ± cDMARDs/NSAIDs. Complete resolution of enthesitis (no tender enthesis) at 12 months was the primary outcome. Logistic regression models were developed to determine the association between medication category and enthesitis resolution.ResultsOf the 1270 patients studied, 628 (49.44%) had enthesitis. Of these, 526 patients (51.71% males; mean [SD] age 49.02 [13.12] years; mean enthesitis score 2.13 [2.16]; median enthesitis score 2 [IQR 1-2]), with adequate follow-up were analyzed. Complete resolution of enthesitis was noted in 453 (86.12%) patients, within a mean period of 8.73 (3.48) months from baseline. In the regression analysis, though not significant, DMARDs (categories II and III) had higher odds ratios (ORs) compared to category 1 for resolution of enthesitis. Enthesitis resolution was associated with lower joint activity (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95-0.99;P= 0.01) and male sex (OR 1.66, 95% CI 0.97-2.84;P= 0.06).ConclusionResolution of enthesitis was observed in 86% of patients in an observational setting regardless of the medication used. Future effectiveness studies may warrant evaluation of enthesitis using advanced imaging.

ObjectivePatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) commonly demonstrate disordered pain processing associated with high pain sensitization. Pain sensitization is often assessed using quantitative sensory testing (QST), which is burdensome to patients. The self-administered Fibromyalgia Survey Questionnaire (FSQ) has been proposed as a low-burden, surrogate measure of central pain sensitization. We examined the correlation between FSQ and QST in patients with active RA.MethodsParticipants in the Central Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis (CPIRA) cohort underwent FSQ and QST evaluation at enrollment. QST measures included pressure pain threshold (PPT) at the thumb, trapezius, wrist, and knee; temporal summation (TS) at the wrist and arm; and conditioned pain modulation (CPM). Partial Spearman correlation between FSQ and each QST measure was assessed, adjusted for demographic factors, study site, disease characteristics, and pain catastrophizing. Sensitivity analyses included (1) stratified analysis by sex and (2) evaluation of how each component of FSQ associates with the QST measures.ResultsAmong 285 participants with active RA, FSQ was weakly but statistically significantly correlated with PPT (r range = –0.31 to –0.21), and TS (r range = 0.13-0.15) at all sites in unadjusted analyses. After adjustment, statistically significant correlations persisted for TS at the wrist and PPT at all sites (except the thumb). Sensitivity analyses did not identify differences in association based on sex or with individual FSQ components.ConclusionFSQ and QST were correlated among participants with active RA, but the strength of association was weak. QST and FSQ are not interchangeable measures of pain sensitization.

ObjectiveIn antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) nephropathy, activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) contributes to endothelial cell proliferation, a key finding of aPL microvascular disease. Here, we examined mTOR activation in the skin of aPL-positive patients with livedo.MethodsThree patient groups with livedo were studied: (1) persistently aPL-positive with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); (2) persistently aPL-positive without SLE; and (3) aPL-negative SLE (control). After collecting aPL-related medical history, two 5-mm skin biopsies of livedo were performed on each patient: (1) peripheral (erythematous-violaceous lesion); and (2) central (nonviolaceous area). We stained specimens for phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) and phosphorylated S6 ribosomal protein (p-S6RP) as mTOR activity markers, CD31 to identify endothelial cells, and Ki-67 to show cellular proliferation. We counted cells in the epidermis and compared mTOR-positive cell counts between peripheral and central samples, and between patient groups, using Freidman test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.ResultsTen patients with livedo reticularis were enrolled: 4 aPL-positive without SLE (antiphospholipid syndrome [APS] classification met, n = 3), 4 aPL-positive SLE (APS classification met, n = 3), and 2 aPL-negative SLE (control). In all aPL-positive patients, epidermal p-AKT and p-S6RP staining were significantly increased in both peripheral and central skin samples when compared to aPL-negative SLE controls; both were more pronounced in the lower basal layers of epidermis.ConclusionOur study demonstrates increased mTOR activity in livedoid lesions of aPL-positive patients with or without SLE compared to aPL-negative patients with SLE, with more prominent activity in the lower basal layers of the epidermis. These findings may serve as a basis for further investigating the mTOR pathway in aPL-positive patients.
Anamorphoses dystopiques dans Contagion de Steven Soderbergh. L’Autre du désir. L’Autre de la mort
Authors: Cohen Alain J.-J. 
Published: June 2022

Pour Proust, on le sait, la mémoire fouille dans les ruines ce que le Temps a détruit, et ce que l’Art peut parfois sublimer. Face à un traumatisme soudain et dévastateur, le passé récent “convertit” (dans le sens alchimique, religieux, hystérique du terme) sa banale quotidienneté pour s’investir après-coup en paradis à jamais perdu. (Or les paradis ne sont-ils pas toujours des paradis perdus –Milton, Proust, Freud, et al.) ? Anticipant par une dizaine d’années le vécu de notre présent mondialement pandémique, le film de Soderbergh met en scène la monstruosité inexorable du virus, avec le chaos, la dépression universelle et l’agressivité qui en résultent, – illustrant ainsi comment le quotidien se transforme en une invivable dystopie. Cependant /u-topie/ et /dys-topie/ s’entrelacent et se reconfigurent dans une dynamique dialectique : De même que le passé (rétrospectivement) utopique contenait déjà le code de sa propre auto-destruction, de même le présent (prospectivement) dystopique engendre endurance et lutte à mort pour sur-vivre, ne serait-ce que dans un mode d’être différent du passé perdu et du présent mortel. Ce faisant, comme le montre notre analyse, Soderbergh surprend par la dimension féministe de son film.
L’utopie de la santé 3D
Authors: Sannella Alessandra 
Published: June 2022

La plus immédiate des questions de l’ère actuelle est liée à la possibilité de sortir de situations pandémiques à l’aide des progrès scientifiques, au cœur de la IVe révolution industrielle : le recours à l’intelligence artificielle et à l’apprentissage automatique. Créer des machines capables d’anticiper les épidémies, d’identifier les moyens susceptibles d’améliorer la vie des populations relève des objectifs utopiques de la santé 3D, à savoir le droit, la dignité des soins et la réduction des inégalités, conformément à l’Agenda 2030 de l’ONU. Or ce but ne peut être atteint sans une approche transversale et globale de la société, voire de l’humanité, c’est-à-dire en mobilisant concrètement le concept de « Une seule santé » (One Health) et en luttant contre toutes les inégalités. Cet article tente d’articuler ces différentes voies afin de dessiner les contours d’une utopie de la santé.

Published: June 2022

Comment le premier supermarché consacré exclusivement aux articles de sport en France est-il devenu en une trentaine d’années un leader innovant de la distribution et de la conception d’articles de sport dans le monde ? Ce distributeur spécialisé s’est différencié des formes plus anciennes de la distribution. Il s’est appuyé sur les passionnés sportifs non pas seulement comme clients soucieux de qualité et porteurs de renouveau mais encore comme cadres et membres de son réseau. Il a développé une organisation pertinente de la R&D et a rassemblé une pluralité de compétences pour la rapprocher des clients. Il a segmenté par utilisateur. Il s’est étendu à l’international. L’actionnaire familial a manifesté une résilience face aux difficultés. L’entreprise Décathlon a pu ainsi devenir un acteur économique et social complet.
L’anarchisme chrétien
Authors: Cassan Margaux 
Published: June 2022

Depuis Bakounine, les anarchistes voient dans la religion une aliénation, en tant que tradition associée à des valeurs imposées par des institutions comme les Églises. Mais, au cri bien connu de ralliement des anarchistes « Ni Dieu ni maître », des auteurs chrétiens très divers, comme Léon Tolstoï, le jeune Paul Claudel ou encore Jacques Ellul, ont opposé une compréhension de la foi chrétienne plus subversive, qui emprunte à bien des égards à l’anarchisme.
Власть и собственность: населенные имения правящей элиты России 1725-1762 гг.
Authors: Черников Сергей В. 
Published: June 2022

En 1725-1762, la couche dirigeante – qui comprenait les personnes en service actif ayant atteint les rangs 1 à 5 de la Table des rangs, ainsi que les membres des autorités supérieures, les chefs des institutions centrales et provinciales –, comptait 1 159 personnes, dont 772 Russes (67 %) et 387 étrangers (33 %). Sept cent quatre-vingt-dix d’entre elles avaient des propriétés dans la partie européenne de la Russie, qui regroupaient plus de 1,8 million de serfs : 709 propriétaires étaient russes (92 %) et 81 étrangers (21 %). D’après les données du premier et du troisième recensement, l’élite dirigeante possédait de 21 à 24 % des paysans serfs du pays. Selon les indicateurs médians, on comptait 623 paysans pour un membre de l’élite, et la part des petits propriétaires (jusqu’à 20 âmes) n’était que de 3 %. L’article montre l’existence d’un lien étroit entre la propriété et le service : de bons états de services étaient un facteur important pour la préservation et l’expansion de la propriété, et la taille du fonds patrimonial dépendait du rythme de l’évolution de la carrière, des grades reçus et du temps passé au sein de la classe dirigeante.

Published: June 2022

Background:The impact of uncontrolled hypertension results in undesirable cardiovascular events. Hence, there is a need to emphasize on adequate control of blood pressure.Objectives:The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence and determinants of controlled blood pressure and the complications of hypertension in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.Materials and Methods:This was a retrospective study of 257 patients of Cardiology Unit of University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital diagnosed with hypertension from 2014 to 2018. A proforma-designed questionnaire was used to retrieve responses from the patients’ medical records. Data were entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20. The level of significance was set at 0.05.Results:The prevalence of controlled blood pressure was 35.8% with mean blood pressure of 112.39/72.72 mmHg. Adherence to drug therapy was found to be associated with controlled blood pressure (χ2= 8.370,P= 0.005). Two-thirds of patients diagnosed with hypertension developed complications of which hypertensive heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney diseases were the commonest. Age (χ2= 9.629,P= 0.008) and the initial presenting diagnosis (χ2= 7.662,P= 0.004) were factors associated with the development of complications.Conclusion:Adequate blood pressure control is still a challenge among hypertensive patients in the study population. A comprehensive program is advocated for the control of blood pressure that will accommodate drug adherence in addition to education, and socio-behavioral change modifications.
Management of acute corneal hydrops with compression sutures and air tamponade
Authors: Singh Mamta , Prasad Nagendra , Sinha Bibhuti P 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Acute corneal hydrops is a vision threatening complication of corneal ectasia like keratoconus, keratoconus, keratoglobus, Pellucid marginal degeneration, Terrien’s marginal degeneration and post refractive surgery keratectasia. The associated risk factors for development of corneal hydrops (CH) are early onset of keratoconus, microtrauma associated with contact lens use, eye rubbing, allergic conjunctivitis, atopy, and Down’s syndrome. With the conservative approach of management of CH, it takes longer time (in months) for corneal oedema to get resolved and there is development of vascularization and scarring. This video presents the simple technique of using compression sutures along with pneumodescemetopexy by intracameral air injection for management of CH. It led to rapid resolution of corneal oedema. It is a simple technique, with no need of special gases like C3F8 or SF6 and can be easily performed at a very basic set up.

Purpose:
To highlight the efficacy of simple technique of applying compression sutures and air tamponade in management of CH and to demonstrate the efficacy of anterior segment OCT in diagnosis and to assess the prognosis of a case of CH.

Synopsis:
A 9-year-old boy presented with CH, with anterior segment OCT showing torn descemet’s membrane and fluid pockets in corneal stroma. Four full-thickness compression sutures were applied and intracameral sterile air was used for pneumodescetopexy. The serial post operative clinical and OCT picture showed rapid resolution of corneal oedema.

Highlights:
This video highlights the use of OCT imaging in the diagnosis of CH and full-thickness compression sutures as the safe and effective technique in the management of acute CH.
