The study is devoted to numerical approximations in Russian and Italian, in particular to the so-called “round” numbers, as main vehicles of semantic vagueness. Both languages provide for the possibility of a dual cardinal and approximate reading of numbers. In Russian, a particularly privileged environment for the observation of round numbers is the approximate inversion of which are investigated the main mechanisms, the compatibility with certain numbers, the relationship of solidarity with the referents within the phrase. The analysis is supported by the list of frequencies of the main round numbers and nouns within the approximate phrases, based on the occurrences of the National Corpus of the Russian Language. The last part of the study is devoted to the translations of the approximate inversions into Italian and the main translation strategies detected by the Russian-Italian parallel corpus.

Despite the fact that the relations between games and religious facts have quite early been a topic of concern for researchers in French social sciences, like Marcel Mauss and Émile Durkheim, this theme has not developed much in social sciences and humanities (SSH) since then. However, since 2010, a new interest has grown among researchers studying digital games, mostly in the Anglo-Saxon world. After presenting a brief state of the art on those questions, this introduction presents some leads to enter this research field, which has lately gained some new interest : cultural borrowings, syncretism forms, representations of religious elements linked with structuration processes, identification strategies and religions, religious polemics and moral panics, and, lastly, porous borders between playful and religious activities.

El artículo analiza formas de politización de la muerte de jóvenes asesinados por la policía, a partir de la reconstrucción de una intervención teatral que integró el repertorio de protesta con motivo de la muerte de Jonatan Herrera por parte de policías de la provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina; hecho que resultó en un “caso paradigmático”. Dicha intervención teatral fue realizada por familiares, amigos y amigas del joven junto a artistas locales, activistas y militantes de distintas organizaciones sociales, y se diseñó en torno a tres preguntas: ¿Quién era Jonatan Herrera?, ¿cómo lo mataron? y ¿cómo fue el proceso de búsqueda de justicia? Interesa detenerse en esta intervención, por un lado, porque fue una acción que procuró de manera novedosa denunciar, limitar y/o resistir el uso de la fuerza policial, además de permitir indagar prácticas, sentidos y valores asociados a las luchas por la justicia; por otro lado, porque constituyó una intervención significativa dentro de las estéticas de la protesta social en casos de “violencia policial” en esta ciudad. Se sostiene que dicha intervención se constituyó en una instancia relevante de politización de la muerte, en tanto significó una forma de reasignación de humanidad al joven asesinado, a partir de la recomposición de su biografía mientras vida digna de ser vivida; porque implicó una forma de construcción de verdad y justicia, que excedió la arena jurídica y, por lo tanto, supuso una intensa y creativa implicación corporal por parte de sus familiares, amigos y amigas.

Migration by sea is a phenomenon which is largely associated with irregular flows and growing concern by destination States about border control and integrity of restrictive migration policies. Only incidentally, the human rights’ costs are extensively debated. The Mediterranean Sea is a crucial scenario which highlights the difficulty encountered by the Search and Rescue regime to cope with the techniques adopted by smugglers and with the additional tensions provoked by some features of EU migration law. The SAR provisions are inherently accompanied by certain elasticity, in order to take into account the variety of concrete situations. In a regional context characterized by political divergences among European states and between the latters and transit countries, some IMO and EU’s attempts to draw a solution are evaluated: it clearly emerges that the failures to find out a reasonable compromise are due to factors external to maritime law. Such factors must be addressed with more courage by the EU member states: the hot issue of the burden sharing; a really comprehensive dialogue with origin countries and transit countries on the complex subject of international migration; the renunciation to ask the cooperation of states with a negative human rights record. Absent a more far reaching policy, dramatic events and hidden deaths will sadly continue, as far as the crocodile tears of European politicians when some incident eventually reaches the attention of media and of public opinion.

Objectif: Les dysbétalipoprotéinémies (type III, classification de Frederikson) sont des dyslipidémies primitives rares, lors desquelles les diabétiques de type 2 (DT2) sont surreprésentés (10 à 30 % des séries). Pour préciser l’interaction entre ces pathologies nous avons comparé dans une cohorte de malades dysbétalipoprotéinémiques, ceux présentant un DT2 et ceux indemnes de diabète, et considéré la survenue de décompensation en hypertriglycéridémie majeure (> 15mmol/L) de type V (HTGM). Matériels et méthodes: Étude cas-témoin rétrospective de 24 patients dysbétalipoprotéinémiques. Nous avons étudié les paramètres cliniques (IMC, âge, sexe), biologiques (triglycéridémie, cholestérolémie, HDL, LDL, apoB, génotypage apoE), les marqueurs phénotypiques diagnostiques (CT-VLDL (mmol/L)/Tg-total (mmol/L) > 0,30, CT-VLDL (mmol/L)/Tg-VLDL (mmol/L) > 0,40 et apoB (g/L)/CT (mmol/L) < 0,15), les facteurs environnementaux précipitant une hypertriglycéridémie secondaire et les variants génétiques associés aux hypertriglycéridémies (gènes LPL, apoAV, ApoCII, ApoCIII, GPIHBP1). Résultats: Les patients diabétiques (n=12) sont plus âgés que les non diabétiques (n=12) : 65,7±14,6 ans vs 50,1±14,6 ans, p=0,005, mais sont comparables en termes de sexe (60 % d’hommes) et d’IMC (29,7±4,5kg/m2). La proportion de décompensation est similaire chez les diabétiques (3/12) et les non diabétiques (5/12), p=0,6. Le phénotype lipidique est similaire. Les ratios diagnostiques de dysbétalipoprotéinémie fonctionnent pour les patients diabétiques et non diabétiques. Cependant le ratio CT-VLDL/Tg-total en période de suivi est moins élevé chez les patients diabétiques, mais reste valable (0,32±0,09 vs 0,43±0,13, p=0,04). La prévalence des facteurs environnementaux de décompensation et celle des variants génétiques de susceptibilité aux hypertriglycéridémies sont similaires. Le polymorphisme C14F du gène GPIHBP1 est retrouvé uniquement chez les diabétiques (n=4, p=0,09), 2/3 des patients diabétiques présentant une HTGM sont porteurs de ce polymorphisme, ce résultat est non significatif en raison des faibles effectifs. Conclusion: Les patients dysbétalipoprotéinémiques diabétiques sont comparables aux patients non diabétiques. Le DT2 n’apparaît pas comme un facteur de risque prépondérant de décompensation en HTGM. Les méthodes diagnostiques habituellement utilisées demeurent fiables même en présence d’un DT2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aortic pseudocoarctation is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by elongation and deformity of the aortic arch and is known to be associated with aneurysmal formation. Several studies unite to say it leads to a surgical sanction as soon as symptomatic or associated with aneurysms of the aortic arch. Our patient is a 12 years old boy, followed since birth for a little tight pseudocoarctation with a cervical aortic arch and transverse aortic arch hypoplasia. Close clinical and paraclinical monitoring including angioscans, showed the gradual enlargement of the superior mediastinum, in relation with the appearance of three aneurysms of the aortic arch. The intervention, performed by sternotomy, has consisted of the resection of the aneurysmal area and the interposition of a Dacron tube to repair the aortic arch and the reimplantation of the left subclavian artery into the left carotid artery. The postoperative course was uneventful. Management of pseudocoarctation associated with cervical aortic arch and aneurysms remains surgical. Close monitoring of patients with pseudocorctation, seems to be essential to avoid fatal complications such as aneurysmal rupture.

Progressively, a kind of paradox is created through the scientific literature related to the game and play fields. The number of works dedicated only to video games conceals gradually the works dedicated to traditional games, although there are always strong links between those two kinds of games. It seems thus clear that a mutual lighting should make us wonder about the singularity or complementarities of the two areas. We propose to look at some of these existing links and contrasts between traditional and digital games. To this end, the introduction to this issue of Sciences du jeu will show a variety of research questions surrounding these phenomena. We will show how the articles help to address some open questions and offer contemporary perspectives for the analysis of games of all categories.
