Alexandre d’Aphrodise et l’existence des intermédiaires
Authors: Bonelli Maddalena 
Published: December 2022

Dans le commentaire d’Alexandre d’Aphrodise sur la Métaphysique d’Aristote, nous trouvons plusieurs passages concernant « les intermédiaires » (τὰ μεταξύ). Dans cet article, j’en considérerai quelques-uns, tirés des commentaires sur les livres Alpha (6, 987b14-18) et Beta (2, 997a34-b3 ; 997b25-28 ; 998a7-9), car dans ces passages on ne trouve pas une simple paraphrase de ce qu’Aristote dit (comme c’est fréquent chez Alexandre), mais une prise de position qui me semble fort originale. À partir de cette analyse, nous trouverons une confirmation de ce que l’on dit souvent, à savoir qu’Alexandre ne s’intéresse pas aux philosophes (passés et contemporains) en tant que tels, mais seulement en tant qu’objets de considération, souvent polémique, d’Aristote et des aristotéliciens « purs et durs » comme lui. On trouvera aussi une autre confirmation, à savoir qu’Alexandre essaye toujours et à tout prix d’expliquer systématiquement Aristote, même lorsque les thèses aristotéliciennes ne paraissent pas cohérentes ou bien harmonisées entre elles. D’ailleurs, il faudra constater aussi que les passages du commentaire d’Alexandre que l’on analysera ont le mérite de souligner et d’expliquer clairement les difficultés sérieuses que nous rencontrons lorsque nous réfléchissons sur les μεταξύ des Platoniciens : la difficulté de concevoir leur rapport avec la réalité sensible si on les considère comme les objets de certaines sciences mathématiques ; la difficulté de considérer leur existence si on les conçoit comme des objets immanents au réel.
« Problème ethnique », par le professeur Yaron Tsur. Traduction commentée par Yann Scioldo-Zürcher Levi
Authors: Tsur Yaron 
Published: December 2022

Cet article est une traduction de l’hébreu en français du texte, célèbre parmi les historiens d'Israël, « Problème ethnique » du Professeur Yaron Tsur. S’interrogeant sur les premières émeutes ethniques juives qui se sont déroulées en 1959 dans la ville de Haïfa, son auteur détaille à la fois la chronologie qui a conduit les migrants orientaux à s’imposer dans le paysage politique de l'État, mais aussi les processus sociaux-politiques qui les avaient contraints de devoir vivre aux marges de la société israélienne. Cette traduction commentée s’adresse évidemment aux lecteurs-trices intéressé(e)s aux études aréales israéliennes mais aussi à celles et ceux qui réfléchissent à la façon avec laquelle les populations « sont construites » par les États créés dans la seconde moitié du vingtième siècle
The “bed’s scandal” in Middleton and Rowley’s The Changeling
Authors: Vienne-Guerrin Nathalie 
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role played by the bed-trick performed by Beatrice-Joanna and Diaphanta in Thomas Middleton and William Rowley’s The Changeling and, beyond that, to study the tension between what is seen and what remains unseen of the play’s bedchamber episodes.The paper shows that the play indeed offers several sorts of bedchamber scenes by suggesting and concealing the sexual encounter between Beatrice-Joanna and De Flores; by dramatizing a bed-trick; by setting Diaphanta’s chamber on fire and finally by representing Alsemero’s closet as a substitute for the bedchamber where De Flores and Beatrice-Joanna can “rehearse again” their “scene of lust” (V.iii.115-116). These four variations of a bedchamber scene lead to the image of the bed as a “charnel” (V.iii.84) and play on the tension between showing and not showing, giving the spectators of this “bed’s scandal” the impression that they see it without seeing it. This article explores the four moments of this “bed’s scandal” in which the absence-presence of the bed is conspicuous.

Les tiers-lieux de transition sociétale en région ouest de la France : penser un « transitio-mètre » pour comprendre leurs effets transitionnels au niveau local
Authors: Glémain Pascal , Billaudeau Valérie 
Published: December 2022

Les « nouveaux » espace de travail que nombre d’acteurs, tels que : élus, citoyens, ou les gestionnaires de projets désignent par « tiers-lieux », apparaissent comme des nouveaux vecteurs de développement durable. Mais, pour d’autres, ces nouveaux espaces constituent une « innovation sociale », notion moins démodée que celle de « développement durable ». Pouvons-nous, dès lors, les considérer comme des opérateurs « de » transition afin de rompre avec ce qu’ils produisent en termes de modèles de développement local ? Pour les décideurs locaux, c’est une possibilité de relever les nouveaux défis des politiques publiques, y compris sur la question conjointe du social, de l’économique et de l’environnement. En première partie, nous tentons, au moyen d’une revue de la littérature, de définir ce que nous devons comprendre par « transition » dans le cas des tiers-lieux de Transition Sociétale (TLTS). En deuxième partie, après avoir présenté notre « transitio-mètre » comme un outil de gestion pour les TLTS, nous rendons compte de notre expérimentation sur les premiers espaces situés dans l’Ouest de la France.
Sociodemographic Factors, Attitudes, and Tobacco use among Adolescent Areca-Nut Users in Mumbai, India
Authors: Gupte Himanshu A. , Mandal Gauri , Chatterjee Nilesh 
Published: December 2022

Introduction:
Areca nut, initiated in adolescence, is considered a gateway for tobacco use and an important cause of oral cancers in India. This study examined differences in sociodemographic factors, attitudes and beliefs, and tobacco use between current (last 30 days) areca nut users and past users, who have ever used areca but not in the last 30 days.

Material and Methods:
A cross-sectional survey with school students attending grades 7, 8, 9 provided data to compare differences in age, gender, beliefs, attitudes, and concurrent tobacco use among self-reported areca users. Of 1909 participants surveyed, 641 (33.57%) reported use of areca nut; of which 355 (55.38%) current users had consumed it in the last 30 days.

Results:
A logistic regression model revealed that male gender, using tobacco concurrently, inability to refuse a friend’s request to use, and intention to use areca nuts in the next 12 months were significant predictors of current areca use.

Conclusion:
More research is needed to understand adolescent areca-nut use, including different types of users such as experimenters and those with established habits. This will help design targeted areca-nut prevention and cessation programs.
Significance of Cartridges and Resins used in a Purification Column during 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose Synthesis
Authors: Kumar Rajeev , Kumar Amit , Kumar Arunav , Tripathi Madhavi , Sharma Anshul 
Published: December 2022

Aims and Objective:
The aims and objective of this study to share the 15 years of working experience regarding importance of cartridges and resins used in a Purification Column during 18F-FDG synthesis.

Materials and Methods:
18F- flourodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) is common radiotracer used in positron emission tomography (PET). 18F-FDG is synthesized in a PET radiochemistry synthesis module and purification column is an integral part of 18F-FDG synthesis. The purification column has four integral parts, namely of ion exchange retardation resin, cation exchange resin, C18 bonded silica, Neutral Alumina.

Conclusion:
The purification column plays a very important role during the synthesis of 18F-FDG. If all parts of the purification column are intact, then maximum transfer of produced 18F-FDG from reaction vessels to the final product vial takes place. The total yield of 18F-FDG is also dependent upon the purification column. If all components of purification column placed tightly and properly charged then there is a high possibility of maximum yield of final product without impurities.

Published: December 2022

Purpose of the Study:
Renal mass lesions in majority of the cases are due to malignant etiology and about one-third of them are reported with metastatic lesions at the time of presentation. Thus proper investigational workup is needed for staging and thereby treatment planning. The current fluorine18 fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F18-FDG PET/CT) study was designed to characterize renal mass lesions metabolically and identifying other metabolically active lesions in the body suggesting metastatic disease.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 24 patients (males – 18 and females – 6) with a mean age of 53.8 ± 12.3 years were recruited in this study for dual time-point PET/CT scan. All patients with renal mass lesions underwent contrast-enhanced CT prior to PET/CT. Metabolic parameters such as maximum standardized uptake value (max.SUV) with a cut off ≥2.5 and retention index (RI) of ≥10% were used to label the lesion as malignant and remaining less than cutoff as benign. The final diagnosis of lesion on imaging was confirmed with a histopathological examination (HPE).

Results:
Using max.SUV cut off value, 17/24 renal mass lesions were characterized as malignant and remaining 7/24 renal lesions of benign etiology. PET/CT showed sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 80%, 75%, 94.1%, 42.8%, and 79.1%, respectively, by considering HPE as a gold standard. Nine patients were diagnosed with distant site involvement suggestive of metastases.

Conclusion:
F18-FDG PET/CT can efficiently characterize solid renal mass lesion as benign and malignant using metabolic parameters such as max.SUV and RI. In addition, whole-body survey identified distant site involvement in 25% of the patients, thus contributing change in management.
On The Calculation Of The Average Value Of The Strong Coupling Constant α_s, Using The Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (Blue) Method
Authors: KALLOUCHE LAAMRI 
Published: December 2022

Experiments to measure a single physical quantity often produce several estimates based on the same data, and which are hence correlated. We describe how to combine these correlated estimates in order to provide the best single answer, and also how to check whether the correlated estimates are mutually consistent.
We discuss the properties of our technique, and illustrate its application by using it for a specific experiment which measured the strong coupling constant .In this work, we computed the mean value of the strong coupling constant by relying on the three measurement values of ATLAS.
We present a method to calculate the mean value of the strong coupling constant and the uncertainty about this value at a centre of-mass energy 7Tev, 8Tev and 13Tev based on the results obtained in ref[1].
We get the result , we will compare it with the result obtained by the authors of ref[1], which is .

A hypothetical therapeutic effect of light peripheral panretinal photocoagulation in neovascular age-related macular degeneration
Authors: Mansour Ahmad M , Tripathy Koushik , Parodi Maurizio Battaglia 
Published: December 2022

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a significant modulator of ocular angiogenesis, including that of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF is the benchmark treatment for most retinal vascular diseases, including nAMD, diabetic maculopathy, and macular edema secondary to retinal venous occlusion. Anti-VEGF treatment is a high-frequency, time-consuming, non-cost-effective therapy, especially in countries and regions with limited resources. This treatment is easily restricted, and in practice, maintaining long-term periodic care is challenging for patients.
Hypothesis: Light peripheral panretinal photocoagulation (PPRP) is applied in a mild form (barely visible mild light gray mark) anterior to the equator so as not to jeopardize the visual field. PPRP lessens the ischemia that causes neovascularization and decreases the metabolic demand in the peripheral retina. PPRP reduces serum angiopoietin-2 and VEGF levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. We propose using light PPRP to suppress VEGF secretion, aiming to attenuate the VEGF drive and halt choroidal neovascular growth in eyes with nAMD. Our regimen is based on two concepts: first, nAMD is a diffuse or generalized disease that affects the posterior segment; and second, PPRP is very effective in regressing diabetic retinopathy. PPRP has reportedly been successful in cases of macular edema (diabetic or following venous occlusion) resistant to VEGF antagonists. Light PPRP may be used as prophylaxis, adjunctive treatment, or monotherapy in nAMD when intravitreal injections of VEGF antagonists are not feasible.
Conclusions: The established light PPRP therapy could be promising as a one-time, cost-effective therapy or prophylaxis in patients with nAMD or at high risk. This proposed modality could be suitable for patients who have injection phobia or prefer a one-time affordable therapy to the long-term monthly visits to retinologists. Future trials are necessary to verify the safety and efficacy of this proposed treatment modality in selected patients with nAMD.
Cluster-based characterization of multi-dimensional tropospheric ozone variability in coastal regions: an analysis of lidar measurements and model results
Authors: Bernier Claudia , Wang Yuxuan , Gronoff Guillaume , Berkoff Timothy , Knowland K. Emma , Sullivan John T. , Delgado Ruben , Caicedo Vanessa , Carroll Brian 
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Coastal regions are susceptible to multiple complex dynamic and chemical mechanisms and emission sources that lead to frequently observed large
tropospheric ozone variations. These large ozone variations occur on a mesoscale and have proven to be arduous to simulate using chemical
transport models (CTMs). We present a clustering analysis of multi-dimensional measurements from ozone lidar in
conjunction with both an offline GEOS-Chem chemical-transport model (CTM) simulation and the online GEOS-Chem simulation GEOS-CF, to investigate the vertical and temporal
variability of coastal ozone during three recent air quality campaigns: 2017 Ozone Water-Land Environmental Transition Study (OWLETS)-1, 2018
OWLETS-2, and 2018 Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study (LISTOS). We developed and tested a clustering method that resulted in five ozone profile
curtain clusters. The established five clusters all varied significantly in ozone magnitude vertically and temporally, which allowed us to characterize
the coastal ozone behavior. The lidar clusters provided a simplified way to evaluate the two CTMs for their performance of diverse coastal ozone
cases. An overall evaluation of the models reveals good agreement (R≈0.70) in the low-level altitude range (0 to 2000 m), with a
low and unsystematic bias for GEOS-Chem and a high systemic positive bias for GEOS-CF. The mid-level (2000–4000 m) performances show a high
systematic negative bias for GEOS-Chem and an overall low unsystematic bias for GEOS-CF and a generally weak agreement to the lidar observations
(R=0.12 and 0.22, respectively). Evaluating cluster-by-cluster model performance reveals additional model insight that is overlooked in the
overall model performance. Utilizing the full vertical and diurnal ozone distribution information specific to lidar measurements, this work provides
new insights on model proficiency in complex coastal regions.
A conditional approach for joint estimation of wind speed and direction under future climates
Authors: Wu Qiuyi , Bessac Julie , Huang Whitney , Wang Jiali , Kotamarthi Rao 
Published: December 2022

Abstract. This study develops a statistical conditional approach to evaluate climate model performance in wind speed and direction and to project their future changes under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 scenario over inland and offshore locations across the continental United States (CONUS). The proposed conditional approach extends the scope of existing studies by a combined characterization of the wind direction distribution and conditional distribution of wind on the direction, hence enabling an assessment of the joint wind speed and direction distribution and their changes. A von Mises mixture distribution is used to model wind directions across models and climate conditions. Wind speed distributions conditioned on wind direction are estimated using two statistical methods, i.e., a Weibull distributional regression model and a quantile regression model, both of which enforce the circular constraint to their resultant estimated distributions. Projected uncertainties associated with different climate models and model internal variability are investigated and compared with the climate change signal to quantify the robustness of the future projections. In particular, this work extends the concept of internal variability in the climate mean to the standard deviation and high quantiles to assess the relative magnitudes to their projected changes. The evaluation results show that the studied climate model captures both historical wind speed and wind direction and their dependencies reasonably well over both inland and offshore locations. Under the RCP8.5 scenario, most of the studied locations show no significant changes in the mean wind speeds in both winter and summer, while the changes in the standard deviation and 95th quantile show some robust changes over certain locations in winter. Specifically, high wind speeds (95th quantile) conditioned on direction in winter are projected to decrease in the northwestern, Colorado, and northern Great Plains locations in our study. In summer, high wind speeds conditioned on direction over the southern Great Plains increase slightly, while high wind speeds conditioned on direction over offshore locations do not change much. The proposed conditional approach enables a combined characterization of the wind speed distributions conditioned on direction and wind direction distributions, which offers a flexible alternative that can provide additional insights for the joint assessment of speed and direction.
