Abstract

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder characterised by self-starvation. Accounts of AN typically frame the disorder in individualistic terms: e.g., genetic predisposition, perceptual disturbances of body size and shape, experiential bodily disturbances. Without disputing the role these factors may play in developing AN, we instead draw attention to the way disordered eating practices in AN are actively supported by others. Specifically, we consider how Pro-Anorexia (ProAna) websites—which provide support and solidarity, tips, motivational content, a sense of community, and understanding to individuals with AN—help drive and maintain AN practices. We use C. Thi Nguyen’s work on epistemic “echo chambers”, along with Maria Lugones’ work on “worlds” and “ease”, to explore the dynamics of these processes. Adopting this broader temporal and intersubjective perspective, we argue, not only helps to further illuminate the experiential character of AN but also has important clinical and therapeutic significance.

Abstract

Background: In addition to their great optical properties, nanodiamonds (NDs) have recently proved useful for two-photon-excited photodynamic therapy (TPE-PDT) applications. Indeed, they are able to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) directly upon two-photon excitation but not with one-photon excitation; Methods: Fluorescent NDs (FNDs) with a 100 nm diameter and detonation NDs (DNDs) of 30 nm were compared. In order to use the gems for cancer-cell theranostics, they were encapsulated in a bis(triethoxysilyl)ethylene-based (ENE) periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) shell, and the surface of the formed nanoparticles (NPs) was modified by the direct grafting of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and amino groups using PEG-hexyltriethoxysilane and aminoundecyltriethoxysilane during the sol–gel process. The NPs’ phototoxicity and interaction with MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were evaluated afterwards; Results: Transmission electronic microscopy images showed the formation of core–shell NPs. Infrared spectra and zeta-potential measurements confirmed the grafting of PEG and NH2 groups. The encapsulation of the NDs allowed for the imaging of cancer cells with NDs and for the performance of TPE-PDT of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells with significant mortality. Conclusions: Multifunctional ND@PMO core–shell nanosystems were successfully prepared. The NPs demonstrated high biocompatibility and TPE-PDT efficiency in vitro in the cancer cell model. Such systems hold good potential for two-photon-excited PDT applications.

Abstract

International audience; Background: We aimed to provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of oral vitamin supplementation on symptoms and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Methods: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials including patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases were performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE and abstracts from recent international rheumatology congresses. Studies were reviewed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. We analysed clinical outcomes according to each type of vitamin supplementation.Results: The initial search yielded 606 articles. Of these, 13 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis: eight studied vitamin D supplementation, two assessed vitamin E supplementation, two folic acid, and one vitamin K, all of them on RA patients. No studies on SpA or PsA were selected. Oral vitamin supplementations were not associated with a reduction in RA activity (DAS-28 or pain) or RA flares.Conclusions: Despite their beneficial effects, the effects of vitamin supplementation on RA activity, if any, seem to be limited. Evidence on their efficacy on SpA or PsA activity is lacking. However, folic acid supplementation should be suggested to prevent methotrexate-related side effects, and vitamin D should be given to patients with vitamin D deficiency to prevent musculo-skeletal complications.

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to study Image Aesthetic Assessment (IAA) indicating images as high or low aesthetic. The main contributions concern three points. Firstly, following the idea that photos in different categories (human, flower, animal, landscape, &hellip, ) are taken with different photographic rules, image aesthetic should be evaluated in a different way for each image category. Large field images and close-up images are two typical categories of images with opposite photographic rules so we want to investigate the intuition that prior Large field/Close-up Image Classification (LCIC) might improve the performance of IAA. Secondly, when a viewer looks at a photo, some regions receive more attention than other regions. Those regions are defined as Regions Of Interest (ROI) and it might be worthy to identify those regions before IAA. The question &ldquo, Is it worthy to extract some ROIs before IAA?&rdquo, is considered by studying Region Of Interest Extraction (ROIE) before investigating IAA based on each feature set (global image features, ROI features and background features). Based on the answers, a new IAA model is proposed. The last point is about a comparison between the efficiency of handcrafted and learned features for the purpose of IAA.

Abstract

The author presents an empirical study on Vietnam’s national competitiveness by using mixed methods research (qualitative and quantitative) with a combination of hard and soft data. The result shows that production resources (human, infrastructure, capital and natural resources) have played the most important role in improving competitiveness, productivity and living standard in Vietnam in the last two decades. The author also analyzed and evaluated the competitiveness of the Vietnamese economy, and pointed out the remaining weaknesses of competitiveness compared to the selected regional countries such as shortage of production resources supply, a dominance of inefficient state-owned enterprises and its slow reform, and weak public institutions as well as inefficient government governance. These weaknesses have led Vietnam’s competitiveness, productivity and economic growth to remain low, especially compared to China. Finally, the author attempts to provide some recommendations enhancing the competitiveness, productivity, and citizens’ living standard in Vietnam in the long term.

11. Sida, ONG et la politique du témoignage en Afrique de l’Ouest

Author

Nguyen, Vinh-Kim and Nguyen, Vinh-Kim

Abstract

Cet article étudie la pertinence de la notion d’une « souveraineté mouvante » pour l’analyse de l’humanitaire à travers l’étude d’une petite ONG burkinabè active dans la lutte contre le sida. Il démontre comment cette ONG occupe un espace intermédiaire — une « interzone » — entre les discours des agences de développement et une réalité locale où les besoins matériels sont l’enjeu majeur. Le souci de la communauté internationale de privilégier les personnes vivant avec le VIH dans la lutte contre cette épidémie s’est traduit par un marché local pour les témoignages de ces individus. Le recrutement et la circulation de ces témoignages sert à mobiliser des ressources, mais a également comme effet l’introduction de nouvelles formes de subjectivité. Celles-ci sont interpellées par les différentes relations de réciprocité et d’échanges — des « économies morales » — qui sont tracées par la circulation de ces récits. La négociation de ces économies morales par les acteurs impliqués aboutit à de nouvelles revendications politiques qu’on identifie comme une « citoyenneté thérapeutique » et, possiblement, un nouvel espace politique dans le monde contemporain., This article examines the relevance of the notion of “moving sovereignties” to the analysis of humanitarian aid through the case study of a small burkinabè NGO responding to the AIDS epidemic. It shows that this NGO occupies an intermediary space between the discourses of development agencies and a local reality characterised by material need. The concern of the international community to empower persons living with HIV in the fight against the epidemic translated into a local market for testimonials by those living with HIV. The recruitment and circulation of these narratives serve to mobilise resources, and also introduce new forms of subjectivity. These are challenged by different relations of reciprocity and exchange-“moral economies”- that are traced by the circulation of these narratives. The negotiation of these moral economies by the actors involved results in new political claims that define “therapeutic citizenship” and, through it, perhaps a new political space in the contemporary world.
