LâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques progresse en France : que faut-il savoir ?
See on Scoop.it - EntomoNews
Les cas annuels dâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques augmentent en Europe. Potentiellement grave, cette infection virale, pour laquelle un vaccin existe, est Ă dĂ©claration obligatoire depuis 2021. Que faut-il savoir ?
 Nathalie Boulanger, Université de Strasbourg; Aurélie Velay, Université de Strasbourg et Yves Hansmann, Université de Strasbourg
 Publié: 12 octobre 2023, 19:30 CEST
 "LâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques est une infection virale potentiellement grave qui sĂ©vit dans les zones tempĂ©rĂ©es de lâEurasie, dans une bande gĂ©ographique allant globalement du sud-est de la Grande-Bretagne au Japon, en passant par une partie de la Scandinavie, la Russie et une large portion de la Chine.
 Comme son nom lâindique, le virus responsable de cette maladie est transmis par les tiques. Il appartient aux Flavivirus, un genre viral dont font aussi partie les virus de la dengue et Zika (qui eux sont transmis par le moustique tigre).
 LâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques nâest pas une pathologie rĂ©cente, puisquâelle a Ă©tĂ© formellement dïżœïżœcrite (et le virus isolĂ©) en 1937, lors dâune expĂ©dition en ExtrĂȘme-Orient russe. Elle est cependant en augmentation dans toute lâEurope, y compris en France.
 Si le nombre de cas dâinfections annuelles dans notre pays demeure actuellement beaucoup moins Ă©levĂ© que le nombre de cas dâinfection par la bactĂ©rie responsable de la maladie de Lyme, les autoritĂ©s sanitaires prennent cependant la situation au sĂ©rieux. Voici ce quâil faut en savoir.
Des contaminations en augmentation partout en Europe
Depuis que le virus de lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques (TBEV, pour « Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus » en anglais) a Ă©tĂ© isolĂ©, au dĂ©but du XXe siĂšcle, trois sous-types majeurs ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©crits. Il sâagit, par ordre dĂ©croissant, dans la sĂ©vĂ©ritĂ© des symptĂŽmes du virus dâExtrĂȘme-Orient, du virus sibĂ©rien et du virus europĂ©en.
 En Europe, le virus TBE est propagĂ© par les tiques appartenant Ă lâespĂšce Ixodes ricinus. En ExtrĂȘme-Orient (ainsi quâen Europe centrale), le vecteur de la maladie est une autre espĂšce, Ixodes persulcatus. Il faut toutefois souligner que cette rĂ©partition nâest plus aussi stricte quâauparavant. Cependant, la tique Ixodes persulcatus a aussi Ă©tĂ© dĂ©tectĂ©e en Europe, dans les Pays baltes, oĂč elle se superpose avec I. ricinus. Les oiseaux migrateurs pourraient ĂȘtre responsables de cette importation.
 Ce sont les mĂȘmes espĂšces de tiques qui transmettent Ă©galement la bactĂ©rie responsable de la maladie (ou borrĂ©liose) de Lyme, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Il est donc intĂ©ressant de faire le parallĂšle entre ces deux maladies transmises par les tiques.
Une maladie beaucoup plus rare que la maladie de Lyme, mais qui progresse
Premier constat : lâĂ©pidĂ©miologie de lâencĂ©phalite Ă tique et celle de la maladie de Lyme sont lĂ©gĂšrement diffĂ©rentes. Les tiques infectĂ©es par le virus TBE constituent gĂ©nĂ©ralement des microfoyers oĂč les petits rongeurs et les insectivores jouent un rĂŽle important, tandis que les tiques infectĂ©es par la bactĂ©rie responsable de la maladie de Lyme sont uniformĂ©ment rĂ©parties dans lâenvironnement.
 Second constat : les taux dâinfection des tiques sont trĂšs diffĂ©rents Ă©galement : 10 Ă 20 % pour la bactĂ©rie Borrelia, contre moins de 1 % pour le virus TBE.
 Enfin, le nombre de personnes contaminĂ©es diffĂšre trĂšs fortement Ă©galement, puisquâon estime que 50 000 Ă 60 000 cas de borrĂ©liose de Lyme surviennent chaque annĂ©e (selon le rĂ©seau Sentinelle), tandis que jusquâen 2016, moins dâune dizaine de cas par an Ă©tait recensĂ©e pour lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques.
 Mais les choses Ă©voluent et les cas augmentent partout en Europe. En France, 30 cas ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©tectĂ©s en 2021, et 36 en 2022, selon la derniĂšre Ă©tude de SantĂ© publique France. Partie de lâAlsace, rĂ©gion oĂč le premier cas avait Ă©tĂ© diagnostiquĂ© en 1968 et qui a Ă©tĂ© pendant plusieurs annĂ©es la seule zone endĂ©mique, la maladie sâĂ©tend Ă prĂ©sent en Auvergne-RhĂŽne-Alpes et en Franche-ComtĂ©.
 Face Ă cet accroissement, les autoritĂ©s sanitaires ont dĂ©cidĂ© en 2021 de classer lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques parmi les maladies Ă dĂ©claration obligatoire.
Quelle gravitĂ© pour lâĂȘtre humain ?
Une infection avec le virus TBE peut conduire chez certains patients à des atteintes du systÚme nerveux central avec des méningites (inflammation des méninges, les membranes qui enveloppent le cerveau) et des méningoencéphalites.
 Le virus europĂ©en est le moins dangereux des trois virus, puisque le risque mortel qui lui est associĂ© est dâenviron 1 %, contre un taux de mortalitĂ© dâenviron 30 % pour le virus dâExtrĂȘme-Orient.
Le traitement consiste à traiter les symptÎmes. Pour les personnes particuliÚrement exposées au risque de contracter la maladie, comme les forestiers, il existe une vaccination efficace, qui protÚge contre les trois sous-types viraux.
Comment se transmet lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques ?
La transmission du virus de lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques peut se faire non seulement par piqĂ»re de tique, mais aussi par consommation de produits laitiers fabriquĂ©s avec du lait cru provenant dâanimaux infectĂ©s.
 Rappelons que les tiques Ixodes vivent sur la vĂ©gĂ©tation, dans les feuilles mortes et dans lâhumus, surtout en zone forestiĂšre. Elles Ă©voluent en trois stases Ă partir de lâĆuf : la larve, la nymphe et les adultes mĂąle et femelle. Si toutes les stases sont impliquĂ©es dans la transmission du virus, la nymphe joue un rĂŽle particuliĂšrement important, car elle est prĂ©sente dans lâenvironnement de façon uniforme. En outre, sa petite taille fait quâelle passe facilement inaperçue.
 Un point est important Ă souligner : dans le cas de lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques, la transmission du virus se fait immĂ©diatement, dĂšs le dĂ©but de la piqĂ»re, car il est prĂ©sent dans les glandes salivaires de la tique. Cela diffĂšre de la transmission des bactĂ©ries responsables de la maladie de Lyme, qui elles doivent maturer dans lâintestin de la tique avant la transmission dans la salive (ce qui requiert un dĂ©lai dâenviron 24h, et implique que retirer la tique avant cette limite Ă©vite gĂ©nĂ©ralement dâattraper la maladie de Lyme).
 Le cycle de transmission du virus TBE implique trois acteurs principaux : le virus, la tique (vecteur de lâinfection) et un hĂŽte naturel. Les hĂŽtes naturels sont gĂ©nĂ©ralement des petits mammifĂšres forestiers (les mulots Apodemus spp. ou les campagnols Myodes spp.), mais les oiseaux pourraient constituer Ă©galement des rĂ©servoirs. Les cervidĂ©s et plus particuliĂšrement les chevreuils (Capreolus capreolus), quant Ă eux, participent activement au maintien des populations de tiques.
 Mais le rĂ©servoir du virus est dâabord constituĂ© par la tique, qui transmet le virus de stase Ă stase (transmission transtadiale), ainsi que de la femelle aux Ćufs (transmission transovarienne). Cela permet au virus TBE de bien se maintenir dans lâenvironnement. Les tiques peuvent Ă©galement sâinfecter par « co-feeding » (« co-repas ») lorsquâelles sont regroupĂ©es sur un animal (ce qui est souvent le cas sur les animaux sauvages, chevreuil par exemple).
Si lâune dâentre elles est infectĂ©e, elle va transmettre le virus lors de la piqĂ»re Ă celles qui se nourrissent autour dâelle. En effet, la tique porteuse du virus lâinocule le virus avec sa salive dans la peau de lâhĂŽte. Les autres tiques Ă proximitĂ© aspirent ainsi le sang et le virus inoculĂ©.
 Il est Ă noter que des Ă©tudes rĂ©centes en Allemagne et en Europe confirment le rĂŽle dâune autre tique dans la circulation du virus dans lâenvironnement : la tique du genre Dermacentor. Comme la tique Ixodes, sa population est en expansion suite aux changements climatiques, environnementaux et socio-Ă©conomiques. Dans le cas de Dermacentor, contrairement Ă Ixodes, seuls les adultes piquent (ils se fixent principalement au niveau du cuir chevelu).
 La cohabitation de ces deux espĂšces de tiques dans les mĂȘmes Ă©cosystĂšmes (on parle de « sympatrie ») explique la circulation particuliĂšre du virus de lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques chez Ixodes et Dermacentor.
Comment sâexplique lâaugmentation du nombre de cas ?
Lâaugmentation globale des cas dâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques en Europe ces derniĂšres annĂ©es sâexplique non seulement par des changements environnementaux, mais aussi par des changements socio-Ă©conomiques.
 Les pays baltes, la SlovĂ©nie ou la TchĂ©quie par exemple, sont particuliĂšrement touchĂ©s par lâinfection. Lâaugmentation des cas survenue dans ces rĂ©gions sâest produite aprĂšs la chute du bloc soviĂ©tique, et son origine est multifactorielle. Notamment, pour pallier la perte de pouvoir dâachat liĂ©e Ă la crise Ă©conomique qui a suivi lâeffondrement, certaines populations auraient davantage frĂ©quentĂ© les forĂȘts pour collecter des baies sauvages et des champignons. Sâajoutent Ă cela une baisse de la couverture vaccinale et de lâutilisation des pesticides.
 Actuellement, on explique aussi lâaugmentation des cas dâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques par lâexpansion gĂ©ographique de la tique Ixodes, qui est, lĂ encore, multifactorielle. Elle rĂ©sulte en effet non seulement de la modification de son Ă©cosystĂšme forestier, dĂ©sormais plus vĂ©gĂ©talisĂ© et plus fragmentĂ©, mais aussi de lâaugmentation de certains ongulĂ©s sauvages comme le chevreuil.
Quelle prévention ?
Pour cette maladie Ă tique, la meilleure prĂ©vention est la vaccination. Un vaccin, mis au point en 1976, est disponible et a montrĂ© son efficacitĂ©. LâAutriche, pays particuliĂšrement touchĂ© par le virus de lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques en raison non seulement des piqĂ»res de tiques, mais aussi de la consommation de fromage au lait cru contaminĂ©, a pratiquĂ© une vaccination massive de sa population, ce qui a permis de rĂ©duire trĂšs fortement lâincidence de cette maladie.
 La vaccination est dâautant plus importante que, comme mentionnĂ© prĂ©cĂ©demment, la transmission du virus de lâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques se fait instantanĂ©ment, au moment de la piqĂ»re.
 Concernant la transmission du virus par voie alimentaire, en Europe, 1 % des infections humaines y sont associĂ©es. Il convient donc dâĂȘtre prudent dans les trois rĂ©gions de France oĂč des cas dâencĂ©phalite Ă tiques se sont dĂ©jĂ dĂ©clarĂ©s, lors de la consommation de produits Ă base de lait cru, notamment de chĂšvre. Soulignons que dans le cas dâune infection par voie alimentaire, lâincubation est plus courte, la symptomatologie clinique est moindre, et la survenue est caractĂ©risĂ©e par des cas groupĂ©s autour de la consommation de produit contaminĂ©.
 Pour conclure, rappelons que la pĂ©riode dâactivitĂ© des tiques est maximale dâavril Ă juin puis moindre de septembre Ă novembre, quand les tempĂ©ratures baissent. En climat ocĂ©anique, avec les modifications climatiques en cours (hivers doux), les tiques Ixodes sont actives toute lâannĂ©e ; en climat continental, elles observent une diapause hivernale, et recommencent Ă ĂȘtre actives quand les tempĂ©ratures remontent au-delĂ de 7 °C.
 En pĂ©riode dâactivitĂ© des tiques, une façon de se protĂ©ger est dâobserver quelques rĂšgles lors des sorties dans les zones infestĂ©es, parmi lesquelles, notamment, le port de vĂȘtements couvrants, si possible de couleur claire : cela permet de limiter les piqĂ»res, et de mieux repĂ©rer les tiques."

All credit to the delightful Submas Bros who got me back on this train (ha) with some much needed motivation, so here we go again;
Pokémon Super DanganRonpa 2 Good Bye Despair; this time it's personal.
Hajime: There's something about small unassuming Eevee with all that potential inside 'em which they just can't access on their own. Also there's been a fair few storylines with an Eevee trainer being bullied by a bunch of Eeveelution trainers for not evolving . . . Nagito: I know Absol is a fave to give him but regardless of the fact I gave Absol to Kyoko, I wasn't quite feelin' it. Hear me out here: Diancie. One a kind mythical pokemon, crystalised- not evolved- from a Carbink, insanely valuable, with very good mega evolution stats, equal to Makoto's Tyranitar, all of which Nagito would brush off depreciating that he couldn't even catch a 'normal Carbink' And on a meta level; may be based on the HOPE Diamond (given one of the Diancie event's was named 'Hope Diancie') a gem that's reputed to curse the holder with ill luck. Mikan: Hubris has caught me since I gave Hifumi a Blissey, but Audino is another nurse Joy staple and has the hidden ability 'Klutz' Chiaki: what self respecting gamer wouldn't jump at the chance to have an 8-bit pokemon? Ibuki: Electric Guitar pokemon? Low key Toxtricity even matches her colour pallet Kazuichi: Isn't sentient gear box Klinklang a mechanic nerd's dream? Sonia I'm sure every other pokemon she has is a terrifying ghost type; but nothing quite says 'princess' like a Galarian Rapidash Gundham: "Cower before the 4 Dark Dedennes of Destruction!" (also the Ultimate breeder would have shinies out the wazoo) Teruteru: A Rotom controlled oven is perfect for all his cooking needs, with none of the morality questions about FarFetch'd and it's leek. Twogami: So I may have played myself giving Togami a shiny factory Ditto; but who's a better companion to the lonely imposter with no identity of their own than insecure mimikyu who copies beloved pokemon to seek acceptance? Kindred spirits Akane: Both Gluttonous and Athletic? Greedent is a good match for that Nekomaru: it's like looking in a mirror, Machamp is a classic. Hiyoko: The Ultimate traditional dancer gets a Sensu style traditional dancing Oricorio. Call the presses. Mahiru: I'd admit this was a headscratcher since the most famous pokemon photographer DOESN'T HAVE ANY POKEMON; so for your consideration, Chinchou. Lures out shy pokemon for that perfect poke-snap, plus can be an impromptu flash in low visibility Fuyuhiko: Honchkrow the mafia boss pokemon is a no brainer, but more than that the villain groups are basically the pokemon yakuza; so that would make Fuyuhiko the ultimate. . Evil Team Boss? Not a great ring to it, but he's definitely the boss of this generation's Team Rocket Peko: A Honedge for the Ultimate Swordswoman, and the Jessie to Fuyuhiko's James. (I couldn't bring myself to call her simply a Team Kuzuryu Grunt) Izuru: Nothing outside of Type Null, the artificial pokemon created by combining all the greatest strengths and type advantages of all pokemon would be good enough for the artificial being known as Izuru Kamakura created by combining all known talent within one person. . . If this lad stepped out after you defeated the Elite Four. . . Imagine the Despair. . .
A coupla extras for you since I was in the zone
Genocider Syo: Taking Toko's love of bug pokemon and slapping some blades onto 'em? match made in heaven for a Poke-serial killer Ishida: "Chandeleur? What're ya talkin' about? That's just my bro backing me up! 'sides don't Chandeleurs hypnotise folks to see what they wanna see? I ain't dumb enough to fall for that baloney! Ain't that right Kyoudai?!"
Once again this was a blast! Maybe I've got one more in me . . .

Do you want to elaborate on the choices of pokemon for Torque or Set?
sure! so torque was dark type bc that type is known for being the âunderhandedâ and âplaying dirtyâ type, and set is ghost type bc honestly his thing is more thriller night than desert nightÂ
- grimmsnarl: signature attack is using hair to slam people around just like tape does w tape. also purple :)
- pangoro: based on a japanese gangster type, like japanese tape
- krookodile: chosen mostly bc of the delinquent vibes
- skuntank: pompadour. also purple :)
- honchkrow: based on an american gangster type, like american tape
- scrafty: again... delinquence
- cofagrigus: cursed coffin in the cursed temple. you do the math
- marowak: ghost... dancer - mimikyu: theming around not seeing the âtrue faceâ fit nicely for hp i thought, also the idea that it looks weird-cute but lift up the tarp and a horrible fate befalls you kinda like how hole punch is just a dancin bro who will attack you.Â
- oricorio: set breaking the fucking rules bc he COULD add the sensu (ghost) oricorio. but he likes the yellow ones vibes better.
- chandelure: disco ball... but also a niche reference to pokepark 2 because chandelure is the leader of the dance zone and forces pokemon to Dance Forevarrrr (sound familiar?)
- palossand: cursed sand. drags people under sand. you connect the dots

posting this link because the post going around with it is no longer rebloggable, and itâs such a great read.
...how can anyone exposed to the bilious schizo-intractability of The Fall, the phantasmagoric derangement of The Pop Group or the spasmodic abjection of The Birthday Party possibly lower their expectations such that they are satisfied with what Ray calls the "tepid, flannelly, terminally uninvolving college alt-rock" of Sonic Youth?
What's at stake here is the very difference between pulp modernism and postmodernism. The Birthday Party, The Pop Group, The Fall up to 1983, were all impelled by the conviction that the only way in which rock could continue to justify its existence was by perpetually reinventing itself; they were death-driven forward by a nihilative motor which wouldn't allow them to resemble anything pre-existing, even themselves: never settle, never repeat yourself, never give the audience what they want, were the unwritten maxims inducing them into further convulsions. It's easy to forget now, after Smith and Cave's Sunday supplement canonisation, how divisive this music was, how it engendered revulsion and denunciation as much as adoration, how it shattered any sensus communis. And then there is the Vision thing: listening to The Fall, The Birthday Party and The Pop Group, you tuned into a unique way of seeing the world - whereas SY offer only a bleary, weary confection of familiar alt.rock postures and signifiers. Importantly, also: The Fall, The Pop Group and The Birthday Party kept the Sixties behind them. (It's not a coincidence that the moment that The Fall started faltering was marked by a Stooges' citation: the hijacking of the "I Wanna Be Your Dog" bassline in Wonderful And Frightening World's "Elves".) Punk and postpunk's significance was to have overcome the Sixties, to have fingered the Sixties as the problem, whereas SY, with their even handedness and informed good taste, re-established a continuum between punk and the Sixties, mending the bridges that punk had incinerated. [cut]
Better for beat music to have expired in the terminal throes of Marsâ âN.N. Endâ than to have limped on ignominiously into the persistent vegetative state known as âindependent rockâ. There was no need for rock to have survived. If it was a case of 'that or die', why not choose death? But even in 1984, retrenchment was by no means the only possible strategy: compare SY with their NY contemporaries Swans - a group who, even in the mid-80s, maintained a ferocious fidelity to No Wave's austere interdiction against reiterating the past. Swans literally prolonged rock's dead end into a inhumanly distended, super-tense grind, astonishing and unprecedented in its brutal starkness.
Punk, Zone writes,
âthe real touchstone for SY (and No Wave), was rhetorically a tabula rasa, but surely everyone knows by now that punk was no Year Zero: it created its own precursors for you wholesale: Jonathan Richman, the VU, The Stooges, the mods whose drainpipe jeans and skinny ties Blondie would hunt down in thrift stores, The Who, covered by Patti Smith (in a b-side which pretty much invented, explored and foreclosed upon the entire musical ground of 90s riot grrl). And who compiled Nuggets? Patti Smithâs guitar player, Lenny Kaye. Now that's what I call curatorial.â
But the most interesting trajectory out of punk involved the rejection of this year zero in favour of a series of new year zeros, each of them razing settled rock (and rock) history by inventing new precursors. SY, meanwhile, operated by precisely not creating their own precursors but in bolting an already-constituted punk lineage onto other established rock and alt. canons. Curating can have an important function to play, but with SY there has been a conflation of art and curatorialism - the alibi for their music's increasingly poverty at a textural and textual level is the way it supposedly makes a wider audience aware of marginal material. Sonic Youth are 'art' in all the worst senses (they possess a certain insitutional prestige, a certain standing and position, a cetain set of meta-rationales for what they do); but they are not art in the sense that there is a compelling reason for them to exist - there is no more at stake here than just another cool leisure product with all the right credentials.

when I was a toddler I'd attend mass at the hip of my mother, and because I was so focused on the stain glass, and couldnât see over the heads of the crowd, did not see the man at the pulpit, and assumed God talked to us directly from the ceiling. the voices did fill the room in such a holy, present way. the choir were his angels because I couldnât see them, too. I am not sure when I realized it was just a microphoned man speaking from a book, but I held some part of me that once thought Godâs voice boomed in the churches every Sunday, and spoke the same message around the world. that mass was a miracle.
I went to Catholic school where they shuttled us to mass every Thursday morning and sat us boy-girl-boy-girl, which kept the girls from giggling and the boys from being rowdy, allegedly, but seemed cruel and unreasonable. My palms sweated in the stocky hands of an Alex a Nick or a Lucas, all biblical names, when our balding priest led our recital of the Our Father. later we learned prayer was meant to be private and abandoned the 70s Kumbaya manner of joining hands, and instead we were urged to fold only our hands, to bow our head, to recite privately, to respond âwith your spiritâ rather than âand also with you.â the pews smelled fermented, the sweat and perfume of hundreds of humans melding into the varnish, the whisper thin pages of gospel ripping too easily. the decor of the church had the preserved nature of things hoarded in a garage.Â
I am not sure when I realized I had a choice in it all. That plenty people did not go to mass, or went to a different type, and functioned well. When I did realize, it became a chore rather something I just did. I was 14 and fell out of it and didnât believe God was more than the watchmaker casting aside the ornate trinket of our world. Never did God abandon me, rather it just ceased to be a thing of any concern. The more the world taught me the more it seemed backwards to apply what Iâd been taught religiously. It didnât make sense so I let it go.
In college the first friend I had was a private school boy who was reckless, mean, sardonic, insulted me out of love- the biting, grimly personality Iâd dreamed about but never experienced in a Minnesota Nice town. He went to mass every day, invited me after our study sessions, and to understand him, I wanted to get whatever it was he was getting out of it. If I could not replicate the feeling of being an infant with a direct line to God, or that of a child in ritual doing just what Iâm told, then I wanted to hear the messages. It was lost on me. Iâd zone out and stare at the stain glass.Â
When you are 18 it is a hideous secret that everyone wants to believe in something, no matter how apathetic or burnt a person may appear. Their career, the dignity of their fathers, the hope in the structure that exists or could, a contentness, a future family. All my ambitions had been shamefully beat out of me. I was a shell, egg white and fragile. What would the Bible be for me but material to paper mĂąchĂ© to my outsides in flimsy strips? I did not read The Book. I did not eat The Bread but I believed it to be life. I found the most hideous people went to church all the time. Maybe they needed it, but it hadnât made them more pleasant or beautiful.
I dated the son of a pastor on accident, in a clumsy horrible way. We drove around in his 94 Honda as I explained-Â âIf you and your dad get in a car accident, and you need his blood transfusion to survive, he can decline for any reason at all. He can say he hates needles. He is not obligated to give you a drop of blood, and for a doctor to take it against his consent would be illegal. You can die and he would have done nothing wrong.â
âI still think abortion is the most evil thing a person can do.â
âForcing a woman to carry a baby for any reason turns women into cattle.â
This is the first time God talked to me. The faithful have reasonable authority above the magistrate. Sensus Fidelium. Iâd hear the voice resonate in the pangs of Catholic Guilt, not confirming what the church taught us to do in rote, but urging to reform myself against it. I am not sure what it meant. I was just no longer scared to trust my own thoughts and impulses, the ones I was told to resist like a Victorian resisting hunger, thirst, desire.Â

ALIGNĂ AVEC LE CIEL
ADOPTER LA LANGUE DE DIEU
Lâenvironnement pour entendre la voix de lâEsprit
« Je rends grùces à Dieu de ce que je parle en langue plus que vous tous » (1 Corinthiens 14.18 LSG)
Pour lâapĂŽtre, parler en langue nâĂ©tait pas seulement un Ă©tat, ou un Ă©vĂšnement accidentel. Mais il avait dĂ», au travers des annĂ©es, avoir une discipline, un dĂ©sir, un objectif de parler de plus en plus en langues, de sorte quâil peut affirmer aux Corinthiens quâil est devenu un champion en ce domaine. En fait, Paul va expliquer pourquoi parler en langue a une fonction si importante dans la vie du croyant.
« En effet, celui qui parle en langue ne parle pas aux hommes (âŠ) et câest en esprit quâil dit des mystĂšres. » (1Corinthiens 14.2 LSG)
Le mot « mystĂšres », en grec, signifie « les choses cachĂ©es, les secrets, les mystĂšres rĂ©servĂ©s aux initiĂ©s, la volontĂ© secrĂšte ». Il y a donc clairement un lien entre parler en langue et avoir accĂšs Ă une zone de rĂ©vĂ©lation dans lâEsprit, de choses intimes que Dieu ne partage quâĂ une catĂ©gorie spĂ©cifique de personnes. Quelle pensĂ©e quâil existe une volontĂ© secrĂšte de Dieu Ă dĂ©couvrir pour ma vie. VoilĂ donc la premiĂšre dimension de parler en langue. Sâaligner au Saint-Esprit et crĂ©er lâenvironnement pour recevoir de puissantes rĂ©vĂ©lations.
« Car si je prie en langue, mon esprit est en priÚre, mais mon intelligence demeure stérile. » (1 Corinthiens 14.14 LSG)
Le mot intelligence signifie ici « mes facultés de compréhension, mes perceptions humaines, ma faculté de jugement, et mes sentiments ». Contrairement à une définition, stricto sensu, qui viserait seulement ma faculté intellectuelle, le grec fait référence aux voix qui encombrent de maniÚre permanente mon esprit. Alors que je parle en langue, je suis en train de mettre mes pensées sur « off ». Ce qui signifie que petit à petit, le volume du flot de mes pensées humaines va se mettre à diminuer afin de laisser, à terme, seulement les voix spirituelles en moi.
VoilĂ pourquoi, vous avez remarquĂ© quâalors que vous parlez en langue, il vous arrive dâavoir des pensĂ©es spontanĂ©es, inspirĂ©es. VoilĂ pourquoi vous arrivez dans ces moments lĂ Ă recevoir la paix de Dieu plus facilement ou encore revĂȘtir un Ă©tat dâesprit de combat pour faire face Ă vos gĂ©ants.
Rappelez-vous toujours quâune des plus puissantes armes de lâennemi est la confusion. Quand, je suis confus, je ne peux pas prendre de dĂ©cision, ni activer ma foi et encore moins capter la voix de Dieu. Maintenir le volume de vos pensĂ©es Ă un haut niveau est un bon moyen pour le diable de distiller en vous, ses craintes, peurs, rĂ©flexes religieux sans que vous ayez la possibilitĂ© de les discerner.
Mais, quand je comprends la puissance de parler en langue, et quâalors, je le pratique de maniĂšre continuelle, mes pensĂ©es se taisent, il ne reste en moi que la voix du Roi, et la voix de lâennemi, la distinction est alors facile, et je peux avancer avec assurance sur le chemin de Dieu pour ma vie.
Je prie que vous débordiez de la puissance de Son Esprit. Soyez bénis.

PARUTION CE VENDREDI 6 AOUT DANS LE DAUPHINĂ LIBĂRĂ DâUN FORT ARTICLE, BIEN DOCUMENTĂ ET INFORMĂ QUI RELATE LâINVASION DU MOUSTIQUE TIGRE AU CENTRE VILLE DE CHABEUIL. Lâarticle confirme les informations publiĂ©es dans ce mĂȘme blog par les Amis Du Canal des Moulins (ACMC) dĂšs le 23 juillet dernier relayant une alerte de certains riverains. La zone concernĂ©e par cette invasion est situĂ©e au quartier dit du PrĂ© des Dames, au centre ville, entre le Temple et la rue Jean Moulin, dans une partie de la ville trĂšs jardinĂ©e, trĂšs arborĂ©e, et donc trĂšs propice Ă la prolifĂ©ration du moustique. Rappelons que le moustique tigre est vecteur de maladies virales ; il fait lâobjet dâune surveillance Ă©pidĂ©miologique suivant un plan national ; câest en effet un agent de dissĂ©mination du chikungunya, de la dengue et du virus zika. LâAgence RĂ©gionale de SantĂ© (ARS) RhĂŽne-Alpes dĂ©veloppe le sujet sur son site, en prĂ©sente les dangers et explique les gestes pour Ă©viter la prolifĂ©ration du moustique tigre. [Relativisons toutefois : depuis la mise en place dâun plan spĂ©cifique en 2006, seuls 83 cas de transmission dâarboriose ont Ă©tĂ© signalĂ©s en France.] Lâarticle relate la visite longue, patiente et dĂ©taillĂ©e dâun technicien spĂ©cialisĂ© de lâEntente InterdĂ©partementale de DĂ©moustication (EID), sur demande de lâAgence rĂ©gionale de SantĂ© (ARS) le 28 juillet dans la matinĂ©e, en prĂ©sence des services techniques de la ville, des ACMC et des propriĂ©taires. Son diagnostic est trĂšs net : il sâagit bien dâune prolifĂ©ration de moustique tigre, prĂ©sent en grand nombre dans ce quartier oĂč situation Ă©tait rĂ©cemment devenue âinvivableâ, aux dires des familles concernĂ©es. Pic de prolifĂ©ration : juillet, suivie dâune attĂ©nuation rĂ©guliĂšre jusquâĂ mi-novembre (on nâest pas sorti de la moustiquaire...). DeuxiĂšme leçon de la visite : on nâĂ©radique pas le moustique tigre, on ralentit sa prolifĂ©ration par piĂ©geage et par Ă©limination des lieux de ponte, quâil convient donc de bien connaĂźtre et identifier. Il est donc trĂšs nĂ©cessaire de mettre en place, rapidement, une information large Ă la population. DĂšs le dimanche qui avait suivi un premier courrier des ACMC Ă la Commune, Lysiane Vidana, maire de Chabeuil, sâĂ©tait rendue sur place, diligentant ensuite lâintervention des services techniques, prĂ©sents Ă la visite du spĂ©cialiste, le 28 juillet. Lâadjoint Ă lâenvironnement, absent lors de cette fructueuse visite  se contentant quant Ă lui dâun courrier de portĂ©e trĂšs gĂ©nĂ©rale, tout Ă fait inopĂ©rant, adressĂ© aux riverains touchĂ©s et aux ACMC (courrier reproduit dans le post du 23 juillet). Animal des creux de rochers et des creux dâarbres, le moustique tigre profite par chez nous des fonds dâarrosoirs, des coupelles de pots de fleurs, des avaloirs dâeau de toute sorte, des tabourets de descente de pluviales : tout ce qui forme rĂ©ceptacle dâeau stagnante oĂč se dĂ©veloppent ses larves. Il va jusquâaux plots de supports de terrasses, dans des constructions rĂ©centes, comme on en trouve dans le sud de la zone concernĂ©e. Il faut ĂȘtre trĂšs vigilant, surveiller les environs de son jardin, dans les parties nĂ©gligĂ©es qui lâentourent (tenter dâinformer et de sensibiliser les voisins !), bien observer les espaces publics et les zones humides proches. JusquâauxâŠboitiers TĂ©lĂ©com logĂ©s sur les trottoirs, comme le montre la photo de lâarticle, trĂšs dĂ©monstrative Ă ce sujet. Et le Canal des Moulins dans cette affaire ? Sâil irrigue le quartier quand il y a de lâeau, il ne constitue pas, stricto sensu, un biotope du moustique tigre. Mais la frontiĂšre nâest pas si nette : on rencontre dans le Canal bien de ces fameux rĂ©ceptacles, avaloirs, siphons etcâŠquâapprĂ©cie tant le moustique tigre. Dâautant que le Canal reçoit une partie des eaux pluviales de Chabeuil, et que juillet a Ă©tĂ© bien arrosĂ© et donc : le Canal voit prolifĂ©rer toute sorte de moustiques, aussi mĂ©chants et assoiffĂ©s de sang que le tigre, aussi gĂȘnants. Et maintenant ? Le Directeur GĂ©nĂ©ral des Services a Ă©crit aux riverains : la Commune prĂ©voit semble-t-il lâinstallation de bornes Ă moustiques, sorte de piĂšges Ă femelles tigre. Et va lancer une information large sous forme dâune campagne de sensibilisation et de prĂ©vention. Mais il faut agir vite pour soulager les riverains. En tout Ă©tat de cause, les ACMC demandent que la prochaine commission Environnement, prĂ©vue semble-t-il le 2 septembre, soit saisie de cette grave question et mette le moustique tigre Ă son ordre du jour. Les ACMC.

2021 Volvo V60 Cross Country is an automotive chef's kiss
New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/2021-volvo-v60-cross-country-is-an-automotive-chefs-kiss-2/
2021 Volvo V60 Cross Country is an automotive chef's kiss
Aside from additional exterior moldings compared to the standard V60, Cross Country models also feature a unique grille.Â
Craig Cole/Roadshow
A car or truck doesnât have to be the best in every measure to be highly desirable. The 2021 Volvo V60 Cross Country isnât the most versatile vehicle available today, nor is it the quickest, fanciest or best equipped. But man, itâs a terrific all-around package, one that feels like more than the sum of its Scandinavian parts.Â
Like
All-weather performance
Sound driving dynamics
Sumptuous interior
Donât Like
Infotainment tech could be better
Some issues with Pilot Assist
Starchy ride quality
Riding about 2.5 inches taller than the V60 wagon (with a generous 8.3 inches of ground clearance) and fitted with standard all-wheel drive as well as hill-descent control, the Cross Country is designed for mild off-roading, to get you up that icy driveway or across a meadow to your favorite fishing spot. Special wheel-arch trim and exterior moldings provide a more robust look and are a nod to that enhanced capability. You might think these injection-molded add-ons would spoil a beautiful design, but the Cross Country is just as pretty and elegantly proportioned as the standard V60.
But unlike its lower-riding stablemante (which is available with a potent plug-in hybrid powertrain), the V60 Cross Country is only offered with one engine, a 2.0-liter turbo-four that belts out 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Smooth, servile and nearly silent, this little dynamo nonetheless provides plenty of giddy-up and an estimated 0-to-60-mph time of 6.4 seconds.
This Volvoâs engine is backed by an incisive eight-speed automatic transmission thatâs as smooth as sandwich spread â except when itâs cold, then itâs a bit slow to shift. Fortunately, this sluggishness disappears once the drivetrain thaws out. Speaking of warmth, for what itâs worth, the V60 Cross Country has the quickest-acting steering-wheel heater Iâve ever experienced, and the butt-warmers are similarly effective.
Driven in frigid Midwestern weather with plenty of winter precipitation, this Volvo is a capable steed, never losing its footing or causing me to second-guess its poise. Get overzealous with the accelerator and it will go playfully sideways on snow or ice before the stability-control system gently intervenes to get you pointed in the right direction.
Among other things, the $2,800 Lounge Package gets you sumptuous Nappa leather for a super-premium feel.
Craig Cole/Roadshow
The V60 Cross Countryâs steering is light to the touch but still reasonably precise. A bit more front-wheel feedback would be nice, as would softer springs. The ride is certainly well controlled, but I find it a lot stiffer than it needs to be. At least somewhat offsetting the stony ride is this Volvoâs posh cabin. The front seats are supremely comfortable and for an extra $500 can give you a gentle massage. The backseat also offers plenty of passenger space, at least for the outboard riders; anyone relegated to the middle position will have to contend with a large hump in the floor.
Aside from its annoyingly wide sills that streak your pant legs with dirt if youâre not careful when disembarking and the cheap-feeling, non-extending sun visors, the rest of this V60 Cross Countryâs cabin is sumptuous. This exampleâs beautiful, brown Nappa leather and laminated, open-pore wood accents look richer than an aristocratâs study. The $2,800 Lounge Package also gets you a stitched dashboard cover, four-zone climate control, ventilated front seats and a few other niceties. If things feel a bit too cozy, just retract the standard panoramic sunroofâs shade to let a little light shine in. This interiorâs overall design is generally warmer and friendlier than what you get from German automakers these days, though some of the tech could be improved.
Volvoâs familiar Sensus Connect infotainment system is as intricate as itâs ever been. And even though it seems noticeably snappier on this Cross Countryâs 9-inch touchscreen than Iâve come to expect, itâs still not my favorite multimedia array. Thankfully, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, though they do show up a bit small on the portrait display since itâs so tall and narrow. Augmenting that panel is a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster thatâs reconfigurable but always seems a bit washed out.
The V60 Cross Country is damn nice.
Craig Cole/Roadshow
When it comes to safety and driver-assistance features, this is a Volvo, so, yeah, thereâs plenty. The usual goodies like lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring are all standard and work pretty much seamlessly. Full-LED exterior lighting is also included at no extra charge. Beyond all that, this V60 Cross Country is also fitted with Pilot Assist, Volvoâs adaptive cruise-control system with lane centering. It comes bundled along with a head-up display, a 360-degree camera and a wireless phone charger in the $1,900 Advanced Package. This ever-attentive cruise-control system smoothly regulates the Cross Countryâs speed relative to other traffic, though the lane-centering could be improved. Occasionally it gets confused and will tug back and forth on the steering wheel, which is a bit unnerving.
Stick to the highway where Pilot Assist is in its element and the V60 Cross Country should return 31 miles per gallon. Around town, itâs rated at 22 mpg and combined it should deliver 25. In mixed use, Iâve been averaging around 24 mpg, which is not too shabby considering the cold weather.
Even though Volvo is not the only automaker to offer a lifted station wagon, the V60 Cross Country is kind of in a class of its own. The lovely Audi A6 Allroad and new Mercedes-Benz E450 All-Terrain are a riff on the same formula, though theyâre bigger, more powerful and really a better rival to Volvoâs own V90 Cross Country. Still, itâs conceivable buyers might cross-shop these German offerings with the smaller V60 Cross Country, and if they do, theyâll find it significantly more affordable. As tested, this example checks out for $57,290 including $995 in delivery fees, a figure that also incorporates a smattering of options, by far the priciest of which is the $4,000 Bowers and Wilkins premium sound system. Eschew any extras and you can take one of these elevated station wagons home for less than $47,000, around 20 grand less than an entry-level Allroad or All-Terrain.
The 2021 Volvo V60 Cross Country may not excel in any particular area, but itâs still beautiful and upscale, offers plenty of features and is pleasant to drive. With ample comfort, enhanced versatility and Swedish good taste, itâs proof you donât have to be the best to be a winner.

Volvo XC40 Plug-In R-Design alia estilo, performance e eficiĂȘncia
O Volvo XC40 Plug-In Hybrid, oferecido aqui apenas na versĂŁo R-Design, Ă© a proposta de eficiĂȘncia energĂ©tica da Volvo, mas nĂŁo Ă© a definitiva, esta Ă© a Recharge do XC40.
O menor dos SUVs da Volvo traz um pequeno motor 1.5 de trĂȘs cilindros, combinado com um motor elĂ©trico e ainda cĂąmbio de dupla embreagem, entregando 262 cavalos.
A promessa é de uma boa média de consumo, ainda mais por ser plug-in, no entanto, o resultado ficou bem parecido com o do Toyota Corolla Hybrid, por exemplo.
A vantagem estå na propulsão elétrica e no baixo custo de carregamento, jå que ela tem o tamanho suficiente para poucos quilÎmetros.
Bem equipado, o Volvo XC40 Plug-In Hybrid R-Design tem visual esportivo e desempenho correspondente, custando R$ 245.950, sendo o topo de linha da gama.
Por foraâŠ
Visual mais esportivo por causa da versĂŁo R-Design, o Volvo XC40 PHEV marca sua presença com os farĂłis full LED dotados do Martelo de Thor como DRLâs.
Detalhes em preto brilhante, como grade, retrovisores, teto e colunas, por exemplo, chamam atenção, assim como as belas rodas aro 20 polegadas com pneus 245/45 R18.
Podem-se adquirir opcionalmente rodas aro 21 polegadas. O teto solar panorùmico e a antena em formato de barbatana também fazem parte.
Na traseira, as lanternas em LED, envolvem-se junto à tampa e colunas C que, aliås, são bem largas e forçam a impressão de segurança e robustez.
Por dentroâŠ
O ambiente do XC40 R-Design Ă© todo escurecido e traz assentos de couro com camurça, tendo costuras brancas. O painel vem com aplicação de alumĂnio texturizado.
O volante em couro tem a mesma costura e base em alumĂnio, tendo ainda paddle shifts no mesmo material. JĂĄ a alavanca de cĂąmbio Ă© revestida em couro e alumĂnio.
Com cluster digital de 12,3 polegadas e 4 estilos de grafismos, o Volvo XC40 R-Design tem conta-giros apenas no modo Power. Aliås, ele também tem os modos Pure, Hybrid, Off-Road e Individual.
A multimĂdia Sensus vem com navegador GPS, Android Auto e CarPlay, cĂąmera de rĂ© e sistema de som Harman Kardon com 660 watts e 13 alto-falantes, com função de graves intensificados.
Em sua tela de 9 polegadas, a Sensus vem com configuraçÔes de todas as funcionalidades do carro, e seleciona os modos de condução, bem como configuraçÔes do cluster e apresentação como um tablet.
Os bancos possuem ajustes elétricos com 2 memórias para o motorista, mas a extensão do assento é manual. Jå o ar condicionado é dual zone e tem monitoramento de qualidade do ar.
Atrås, o espaço é mediano e o banco bipartido tem encosto bem vertical, mas vem com apoio de braço com porta-copos.
Existem saĂdas de ar condicionado e luzes de leitura em LED, alĂ©m da abertura do vidro para o ambiente todo. JĂĄ o porta-malas tem 460 litros e bom espaço, com o cabo de recarga sob o assoalho.
Por ruas e estradasâŠ
O Volvo XC40 Plug-In Hybrid R-Design tem uma proposta de eficiĂȘncia energĂ©tica, porĂ©m, seu desempenho tambĂ©m Ă© de esportivo.
Equipado com motor 1.5 de trĂȘs cilindros com turbo e injeção direta, que entrega 180 cavalos a 5.800 rpm e 26,5 kgfm a 1.500 rpm, ele tem um som que parece com o do ciclo diesel.
AlĂ©m dele, o XC40 hĂbrido leva ainda um motor elĂ©trico de 82 cavalos e 16,3 kgfm, montado dentro da caixa de transmissĂŁo automatizada de dupla embreagem e sete marchas.
No caso do XC40 PHEV, sua tração Ă© totalmente dianteira. Esse conjunto hĂbrido Ă© ainda alimentado por uma bateria de lĂtio de 10,7 kWh.
O SUV âcompactoâ se inicia silenciosamente no modo Hybrid, que Ă© onde a coisa toda acontece mais eficientemente no dia a dia.
Com a bateria cheia, o propulsor sĂł entra se o carro for muito exigido. Se nĂŁo quiser usar essa energia, basta bloqueada na central Sensus para poder usar o carro no modo Pure.
Tendo impulso extra da eletricidade, o XC40 tem saĂdas bem rĂĄpidas e surpreende, ainda mais tendo um motorzinho que tem força para fazer a diferença sem a hibridização.
No cluster digital, um econÎmetro indica a recuperação de energia nas desaceleraçÔes e frenagens, assim como a faixa de economia e também a de desempenho.
à por aà que se tem uma ideia de como andar de forma eficiente com o XC40. Se a opção for usar a energia da bateria unicamente, então, saiba que då para rodar 48 km.
Em realidade, dependendo do condutor, essa autonomia é até um pouco maior, dependendo ainda da topografia e do uso da recuperação de energia. Oficialmente, a Volvo fala em 47 km.
Também då para andar na rodovia usando apenas o motor elétrico de 82 cavalos. Contudo, é na cidade que a bateria dura mais tempo. Quando a autonomia acaba, o 1.5 Drive-E entra.
Essa gestão de energia entre Hybrid e Pure precisa ser bem dosada para se obter uma média de consumo boa, pois, o SUV pode ser gastão se o condutor não souber uså-lo.
Nem Ă© preciso ir ao modo Power para verificar isso, mas os recursos estĂŁo lĂĄ para serem usados. Chegamos a fazer 13,4 km/l acumulando carga para bateria.
Na média, conseguimos 22,5 km/l na cidade e 20,9 km/l na estrada, usando esses modos. No Power, o XC40 rende todo seu potencial, entregando os 262 cavalos e 43,2 kgfm combinados.
Com conta-giros no painel, o Volvo mescla o som do diesel com um zunido tĂpico de motores elĂ©tricos e arranca com vigor. Se preferir, vocĂȘ pode mudar as sete marchas manualmente.
A intervenção pode ser feitas em todos os modos, mas o ideal â com exceção do Power â Ă© nĂŁo usa-la para evitar alteraçÔes no rendimento.
Segundo a marca, o XC40 PHEV vai de 0 a 100 km/h em 7,3 segundos e alcança 205 km/h. NĂșmeros bons para esse hĂbrido.
Com excelente handling, o XC40 R-Design segura bem nas curvas e tem Ăłtimo controle direcional. A suspensĂŁo Ă© firme, e os pneus sĂŁo 245/45 R20, ajudando na aderĂȘncia.
Tendo pouca rolagem de carroceria, o SUV nórdico se comporta bem. Em pisos irregulares ele sofre um pouco, mas passa a impressão de robustez e filtra boa parte das condiçÔes da via.
O XC40 tem ainda um modo Off Road, que varia a força entre as rodas dianteiras entre 20 km/h e 40 km/h. Não é sua praia, é verdade, mas ajuda em eventualidades.
Existe ainda o modo Individual, onde o condutor escolhe suas preferĂȘncias tiradas dos modos de condução.
Freando de forma imediata, o XC40 se apoia no pacote de segurança da Volvo, o City Safety, sempre pincelando os discos ao menor vacilo do condutor.
Mesmo em uma rua onde é necessårio ficar desviando de buracos ou carros parados, ele entende que a situação pode ser de risco e aciona os freios com alarme ativado.
Isso sem contar os desnĂveis em juntas de pontes, onde muitas vezes, dependendo da velocidade, o carro fica milĂ©simos de segundo no ar.
Nesse caso, o sistema puxa os ocupantes nos cintos instantaneamente, jĂĄ que entende que pode ser o inĂcio de um capotamento.
O XC40 se beneficia ainda de belos farĂłis adaptativos que varrem a frente, projetando seus feixes de luz de LED em locais onde nĂŁo prejudiquem os demais motoristas.
Ele também tem o Pilot Assist, que funciona até 130 km/h, controlando parcialmente a direção. Hå também o controle de cruzeiro adaptativo.
AtĂ© a rĂ© possui frenagem autĂŽnoma em caso de veĂculo vindo em trĂĄfego cruzado. A Ășnica ausĂȘncia sentida em todo esse pacote de segurança Ă© o estacionamento automĂĄtico.
Por vocĂȘâŠ
O Volvo XC40 Plug-In Hybrid R-Design Ă© um SUV com bom nĂvel tecnolĂłgico, sĂł nĂŁo te entregarĂĄ tração nas quatro rodas.
Com pacote de segurança ativa e passiva de primeira qualidade, como em todo Volvo, ele foca num belo visual esportivo para chamar atenção.
O conforto na frente Ă© muito bom, mas mediano atrĂĄs. Seu porta-malas Ă© bom e o sistema de recarga que estava a bordo era Ăștil apenas para recarga pĂșblica eventual.
A Volvo fala em 3 horas num carregador rĂĄpido, sendo interessante dado sua autonomia de 48 km. Para o dia a dia urbano, pouca ou nenhuma gasolina serĂĄ usada.
Bom de dirigir, o XC40 hĂbrido tem uma boa mĂ©dia de consumo e representa o futuro do produto, que na Europa ainda tem duas variantes mais fracas.
O preço estĂĄ dentro do esperado para sua categoria. SĂł o Toyota RAV4 SX Hybrid jĂĄ custa R$ 241.990. EntĂŁo, pouco menos de R$ 4.000 o nĂłrdico aparece com mais eficiĂȘncia, apesar de ser menor.
