Occupational Therapy Practitioners’ Perspectives on Occupation-Based Interventions for Clients With Hip Fracture
Authors: Wong Carin , Fagan Brenda , Leland Natalie E.
Published: May 2018

OBJECTIVE. Occupational engagement is the foundation of occupational therapy. We identified perspectives of 18 occupational therapy practitioners on integrating occupation-based interventions during postacute care (PAC) rehabilitation for persons with hip fracture to identify occupational therapy’s distinct contribution.

METHOD. We conducted six focus groups derived from a purposive national sample of occupational therapy practitioners (N = 18). A secondary analysis was conducted to analyze the transcripts for major subthemes around occupation-based interventions.

RESULTS. Three major themes arose from practitioners’ perspectives regarding the role of occupation in rehabilitation: (1) conducting an occupational profile, (2) integrating occupation-based intervention in the facility, and (3) identifying goals for occupational engagement after discharge. Challenges and strategies for integrating occupation-based interventions were also identified.

CONCLUSION. Identifying practitioners’ perspectives on integrating occupation into rehabilitation may inform strategies to facilitate occupation-based interventions in PAC and define occupational therapy’s role in this setting.
Alternative approaches to community participation beyond formal structures: evidence from Langa within the municipality of Cape Town
Authors: Andani Adam
Published: May 2018

While ward committees and Integrated Development Planning (IDP) representative forums constitute formal participatory mechanisms in South Africa’s local government, little is known about the potential of local approaches in enhancing participation in municipal planning. This paper examines alternative approaches to participation based on research conducted in Langa – a township situated on the Cape Flats of Cape Town. The paper highlights approaches to residents’ participation in planning tested during the ‘interregnum’ – the period when ward committees are in abeyance due to elections. The study found that, while IDP participatory processes facilitated awareness of participation, ward councillors were crucial in operationalising participation that reflects the diversity of the community.
Who is responsible? Local government and accountability for service delivery in Kenya’s devolved health sector
Authors: Okwaroh Ochieng Kenneth
Published: May 2018

One of the arguments in favour of local governments is their ability to deliver public services better because of their proximity to demand. This is typically achieved through decentralisation – the transfer of some level of formal responsibility, authority and/or resources to smaller, lower tiers of government. This paper examines service delivery in the health sector in Kenya within the context of the country’s newly introduced devolved system of government, which created 47 county governments under the 2010 Constitution. It examines three key responsibilities: i) resource mobilisation, distribution and administration, ii) decision-making, and iii) political accountability, and their bearing on outcomes for delivery of health services. The paper argues that devolution of the health function in Kenya has been only partial, leading to challenges of coordination between the national and county governments and ambiguity over responsibility for service delivery; both factors which risk undermining the opportunities that devolution creates or promises.

Abstract. Atmospheric simulation chambers are exploratory platforms used to study various atmospheric processes inrealistic but controlled conditions. We describe here a new facility specifically designed for the research on atmospheric bio-aerosol as well as the protocols to produce, inject, expose and collect bio-aerosols. ChAMBRe (Chamber for Aerosol Modelling and Bio-aerosol Research) is installed at the Physics Department of the University of Genova, Italy, and itis a node of the EUROCHAMP-2020 consortium. The chamber is made in stainless steel with a total volume of about 2.2 m3. The lifetime of aerosol with dimension from a few hundreds of nanometres to a few microns varies from about 10 to 2 hour. Characteristic parts of the facility are the equipment and the procedures to grow, inject and extract bacterial strains in the chamber volume while preserving their viability. Bacteria are part of the atmospheric ecosystem and have an impact at several levels as: health related issues, cloud formation, geochemistry. ChAMBRe will host experiments to study the 25 bacterial viability versus the air quality level, i.e. the atmospheric concentration of gaseous and aerosol pollutants. In this article, we report the results of the characterization tests as well as of the first experiments performed on two bacterial strains belonging to the Gram positive and Gram negative groups. A reproducibility at the 10 % level has been obtained in repeated injections and collection runs with a clean atmosphere, assessing this way the chamber sensitivity for systematic studies on bacterial viability vs. environmental conditions.

Abstract. Plasmaspheric hiss was observed by Van Allen Probe B in association
with energetic electron injections in the outer plasmasphere. The energy of
injected electrons coincides with the minimum resonant energy calculated for
the observed hiss wave frequency. Interestingly, the variations in hiss wave
intensity, electron flux and ultra low frequency (ULF) wave intensity exhibit remarkable
correlations, while plasma density is not correlated with any of these
parameters. Our study provides direct evidence for the first time that the
injected anisotropic electron population, which is modulated by ULF waves,
modulates the hiss intensity in the outer plasmasphere. This also implies
that the plasmaspheric hiss observed by Van Allen Probe B in the outer
plasmasphere (L > ∼ 5.5) is locally amplified.
Meanwhile, Van Allen Probe A observed hiss emission at lower L shells
(< 5), which was not associated with electron injections but
primarily modulated by the plasma density. The features observed by Van Allen
Probe A suggest that the observed hiss deep inside the plasmasphere may have
propagated from higher L shells.
Aromatic acids in an Arctic ice core from Svalbard: a proxy record of biomass burning
Authors: Grieman Mackenzie M. , Aydin Murat , Isaksson Elisabeth , Schwikowski Margit , Saltzman Eric S.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. This study presents vanillic acid and para-hydroxybenzoic acid levels in an Arctic ice core from Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard covering the past 800 years. These aromatic acids are likely derived from lignin combustion in wildfires and long-range aerosol transport. Vanillic and para-hydroxybenzoic acid are present throughout the ice core, confirming that these compounds are preserved on millennial timescales. Vanillic and para-hydroxybenzoic acid concentrations in the Lomonosovfonna ice core ranged from below the limits of detection to 0.2 and 0.07 ppb, respectively (1 ppb  =  1000 ng L−1). Vanillic acid levels are high (maximum of 0.1 ppb) from 1200 to 1400 CE, then gradually decline into the twentieth century. The largest peak in the vanillic acid in the record occurs from 2000 to 2008 CE. In the para-hydrobenzoic acid record, there are three centennial-scale peaks around 1300, 1550, and 1650 CE superimposed on a long-term decline in the baseline levels throughout the record. Ten-day air mass back trajectories for a decade of fire seasons (March–November, 2006–2015) indicate that Siberia and Europe are the principle modern source regions for wildfire emissions reaching the Lomonosovfonna site. The Lomonosovfonna data are similar to those from the Eurasian Arctic Akademii Nauk ice core during the early part of the record (1220–1400 CE), but the two ice cores diverge markedly after 1400 CE. This coincides with a shift in North Atlantic climate marked by a change of the North Atlantic Oscillation from a positive to a more negative state.
Field-Test of Wind Turbine by Voltage Source Converter
Authors: Espinoza Nicolás , Carlson Ola
Published: May 2018

Abstract. One of the main challenge for the wind energy development is to make the wind turbines efficient in respect of costs while maintaining a safe and reliable operation. An important design criterion is the fulfilment of Grid Codes given by transmission system operators (TSO). The Grid Codes state how wind turbines/farms must behave when connected to the grid in normal and abnormal conditions. In this regard, it is well known that not all the technical requirements can be tested by using the actual impedance-based testing equipment. For this reason, a new type of testing equipment which comprises the use of fully-rated Voltage Source Converter (VSC) in back-to-back configuration is proposed. Thanks to the full controllability of the applied voltage in terms of magnitude, phase and frequency, the use of VSC-based testing equipment, provides more flexibility as compared with actual testing systems. In addition, the AC grid is decoupled from the tested object when performing the test; meaning that the strength of the grid is not a major limitation. Finally, test results of a 4 MW wind turbine and an 8 MW test equipment, located in Gothenburg, Sweden, are shown in order to validate the investigated grid code testing methodology.

INQUISIÇÃO PORTUGUESA NA ÁFRICA: DENUNCIAÇÕES DO REINO DO CONGO E ANGOLA NO SÉCULO XVII
Authors: Santos Tahinan Da Cruz
Published: May 2018

O Tribunal da Santa Inquisição português foi criado com o objetivo de vigiar, investigar e punir crimes considerados heréticos, dentro da área de influência territoriais de Portugal, dentre os quais incluíam-se os Reinos do Congo e Angola. Diante disso, estudar os autos de Denunciações do reino do Congo e Angola mostra-se muito importante. Entre os anos de 1620-32, foi arrolada uma série de denúncias contra quase cem pessoas. Estas foram acusadas de judaísmo, feitiçaria, simonia e até mesmo calúnia e injúria contra o Santo Oficio. Este processo, composto por 214 páginas microfilmadas, encontra-se aos cuidados do Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo. Trata-se de uma fonte riquíssima, por mostrar os tentáculos da Inquisição, assim como as crenças e o cotidiano religioso das populações européias e africanas nos Reinos do Congo e Angola.
O "ORIENTALISMO" NA LITERATURA DO SÉCULO XIX: O CASO DE A VOLTA AO MUNDO EM OITENTA DIAS.

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a análise de relatos produzidos durante o século XVI sobre as Américas Portuguesa e Espanhola, a fim de verificar a realização do embarque de indígenas para a Europa. Estes deslocamentos evidenciam que a posse da América pelos europeus não se restringiu aos territórios, estendendose também aos grupos humanos. Procurou-se identificar como, sob a ótica européia, os indígenas americanos foram tomados e incorporados a uma nova cultura, mesmo que embarcados por vontade própria. Os principais documentos foram: Os Diários de Colombo (1492-1502); a Relação da viagem do Capitão de Gonneville às Novas Terras das índias de Binot Palmier de Gonneville (1503-1505); a Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva Espana, de Bernal Diaz dei Castillo (1632); o ensaio Dos Canibais (1580), de Montaigne e, Une fête Brésilienne en Rouen (1850) de Ferdinand Denis, que apresenta o manuscrito que descreve a participação dos indígenas brasileiros levados para a França em 1550 na entrada do rei Henrique II na cidade de Rouen.

Published: May 2018

Background: Respiratory virus infections often cause a wide spectrum of symptoms including gastrointestinal presentations (GP). The epidemiology of respiratory viruses in patients with GP needs to be better described.Methods: Throat swabs were collected and tested for 15 respiratory viruses from pediatric patients (≤14 years old) with acute respiratory illness in Guangzhou over a 3-year period. The features of respiratory virus infections were analyzed among those with GP.Results: Of 4,242 patients enrolled, 1,223 (28.8%) had GP. Among those, 647 (52.9%) were positive with one or more of the 15 tested respiratory viruses. The most frequently detected viruses were respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (21.1%, 258), enterovirus (EV) (10.1%, 124), influenza A virus (infA) (7.8%, 95), adenovirus (ADV) (5%, 61), human metapneumovirus (HMPV) (4.1%, 50), and human bocavirus (HBoV) (3.5%, 43). More RSV (p = .001) and EV (P<0.001) infections were found in patients with GP than in patients without GP. 734 (60.0%) patients with GP presented with “Poor appetite”, 480 (39.2%) with “Vomiting”, 301 (24.6%) with “Diarrhea” and 73 (6.0%) with “Stomachache”. Significant differences in the virus positivity rate were found for RSV (p < .001), EV (p = .002) and PIV3 (p = .037). 90.6% (1,108/1,223) of patients with GP were under 5 years old. Among different age groups, significant differences in the virus positivity rate were found for infA (p = .005), influenza B virus (infB) (p = .006), RSV (p < .001), parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) (p = .019), ADV (P<0.001), and HBoV (p = .009). RSV was mostly detected in patients under 2 years old (90.3%, 233/258) with frequency declining with age, while frequency of infA and infB increased with age. ADV, HBoV, and PIV3 reached their highest peaks in the age groups of 6-10 years old (11%), 7-12 months (8%) and 4–6 months (5.8%), respectively. In general, sample positivity rates in patients with GP increased when seasons changed. RSV, EV, infA, ADV, HMPV, and HBoV formed the bulk of the positive samples.Conclusions: In this study, the epidemiology of respiratory virus infections in patients with GP was analyzed. This information increases our understanding of respiratory virus infections and may help in clinical diagnosis of these viruses.
Revision Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
Authors: Bruce Jeremy R. , ElAttrache Neal S. , Andrews James R.
Published: May 2018

Ulnar collateral ligament injuries continue to occur despite efforts to educate pitchers, coaches, and families at the amateur and professional levels about pitch counts, mechanics, and injury prevention. Although the data on the incidence of ulnar collateral ligament reconstructions are inconclusive, an increase in these reconstructions may mean a corresponding increase in the number of reconstruction failures and revision reconstruction surgeries. Less is known about the outcomes of revision ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction; not unexpectedly, early results are not as promising as those observed with primary reconstruction. In response, interest in revision techniques, rehabilitation, and outcomes of revision ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction surgeries has grown.
Functional Outcomes and Complications After Oncologic Reconstruction of the Proximal Humerus
Authors: Nota Sjoerd , Teunis Teun , Kortlever Joost , Ferrone Marco , Ready John , Gebhardt Mark , Raskin Kevin , Hornicek Francis , Schwab Joseph , Lozano Calderon Santiago
Published: May 2018

Background:

No consensus exists on the best method of articular reconstruction in patients who require proximal humerus resection for the management of primary bone sarcomas, soft-tissue sarcomas extending into the bone, benign and locally aggressive primary bone tumors, and metastatic disease.

Methods:

We identified patients from two institutions who underwent wide resection of the proximal humerus along with oncologic reconstruction using osteoarticular allografts (OAs), endoprostheses, or allograft-prosthesis composites. We prospectively collected functional outcomes and retrospectively assessed complications and implant survival.

Results:

A total of 150 patients were included in this study. The average Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire score was 26 for 25 patients, of which we gathered their functional data, with no differences in physical function among the three constructional methods according to the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire, upper extremity Toronto Extremity Salvage Score, upper extremity Musculoskeletal Tumor Society, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scores. Overall, the survival rate of the prosthesis was >50%. A trend was noted for a higher risk of failure in the OA group secondary to the allograft fracture.

Discussion:

All three articular oncologic shoulder reconstructions were comparable in terms of function. This large series confirms a higher fracture rate in OAs, which explains the observed higher revision rate and apparent lower survival rate in this subgroup.
Language Policy and Its Consequences on Sindhi Language Teaching in Sindh, Pakistan
Authors: Pathan Habibullah , Shah Syed , Lohar Shoukat , Khoso Ali , Memon Sadia
Published: May 2018

This paper examines the language teaching policy in Pakistan and its consequences on Sindhi language in Sindh province. The paper argues that such language policy has attempted to marginalize other local and indigenous languages of the country in general and Sindhi language in particular. Politics is actively engaged in determining the status of languages in the country. English and Urdu being the languages of the dominant social group, that is, the ruling elite in the country enjoy status of official and national languages respectively whereas languages of the marginalized group are excluded from the domain of education, literacy and power. The paper, thus, draws attention of the language policy makers to linguistic human rights and argues that all the languages should be treated equally. Education being inborn right of human being should be acquired in one’s own mother tongue; this is the only solution to cope with present and future challenges in Pakistani educational system.
Teachers’ Views about the Teacher Training Program for Gifted Education
Authors: Sayi Aysin Kaplan
Published: May 2018

Gifted children are a special group within the scope of the special education so it is needed to be used by a number of special techniques and teaching methods. However, most teachers do not receive any training about gifted students. This situation-teachers lack of necessary education- can cause gifted students to underachieve or quit the school. The number and variety of professional tranings on gifted students is rather limited. In the study, a teacher training program which aimed to provide teachers experience about the applications on gifted education “Teacher Training Program for Gifted Education” were presented to teachers and teacher views were gathered about the program. Therefore, in order to identify teachers' views on the strengths and limitations of the Teacher Training Program for Gifted Education” constitutes the aim of this study. The research was carried out on 71 teachers in a semi-experimental design on one single group from the experimental models. As data collection tool, a questionnaire consisting of 16 likert type and four quasi-structured in total 20 questions was used developed by the researcher. Accordingly, the participants had a positive opinion with all parts of the training; program, the qualifications of the instructors related to the field, the pedagogical qualifications of the instructors, course progress and testing/assessment. They emphasized the duration of the program and application as the limitiations of the program so they suggest longer duration, branch based training and more applications opportunity.
Semi-Compliant labor migrants in South Korea: Koryo-saram diaspora and their lessons for global development
Authors: An Evgenia , Frigerio Alessandro
Published: May 2018

The paper analyses the case of labor migration of CIS ethnic Koreans (Koryo-saram) to South Korea. Because of an ethnicity-based preferential policy, they are offered better conditions than other migrants, but in many cases they choose to switch to a condition of semi-compliance by voluntarily taking jobs in sectors that fall out of their visa requirements. This option is dictated by the absence of Korean language skills and better remuneration in the illegal market, but at the same time exposes them to worse working conditions and vulnerability caused by illegality. This situation, that is convenient for all parties – the state, employers, sub-contracting recruitment agencies and in the short term also migrants – can be explained by two factors – a neoliberal distortion of the local job market in the interests of companies and the resilience of Koryo-saram workers – that are marked by an underlying inequality of power structures. An approach focused on political feasibility suggests that trade unions could be the best answer at hand to address this condition with possible mid-term improvements deriving from forms of transnational social protection.

Inicialmente são introduzidos os principais conceitos sobre o ﬁltro de Kalman. O ﬁltro de Kalman é usado com amostras de aço-ligas. O sinal ﬁltrado é usado na calibração multivariada para construir um modelo matemático com boa capacidade preditiva. A eﬁciência do ﬁltro é demonstrada utilizando um conjunto de dados obtidos por um espectrofotômetro de emissão atômica em plasma com baixa resolução para tratar o problema da determinação simultânea do Manganês (Mn), Molibdênio (Mo), Cromo (Cr), Níquel (Ni) e Ferro (Fe). Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o ﬁltro de Kalman pode ser aplicado com vantagens em relação a outras técnicas tradicionais em quimiometria como ﬁltro de média móvel.
Flow Theory to Promote Learning in Educational Systems: Is it Really Relevant?
Authors: Oliveira dos Santos Wilk , Bittencourt Ig Ibert , Isotani Seiji , Dermeval Diego , Brandão Marques Leonardo , Frango Silveira Ismar
Published: May 2018

Flow Theory has been increasingly applied to Computers and Education to address several topics within this field (e.g., motivation, engagement, learning performance and so on). At the same time, in comparison with other recent theories related to Computers and Education, (e.g., Self-Determination Theory, S-Curve Theory, Intrinsic motivation, etc.), is a young topic, with different open research questions. Additionally, the Computers and Education community still lacks a comprehensive understanding of how Flow Theory is used in the area. Thus, this paper presents a Systematic Literature Review aiming to identify how students' flow state are measured during learning activities, how such activities are designed, which are the flow models used in Computers and Education and which are the main benefits of being in the flow state for the students. The main findings of this work are: (1) there is positive evidence about the benefits of applying Flow Theory in Computers and Education, especially, for increasing students’ learning, to generate students’ satisfaction, and to enable exploratory behavior; (2) the majority of studies use questionnaires to manual identify students’ flow state; (3)  a great diversity of flow state scales have been used; (4) the majority of studies are not designing activities for leading students to the flow state, and (5) the Csikszentmihalyi’ flow model is more used. Finally, we conclude this work by showing some promising and interesting research opportunities that are underexplored in current research and practice.
Reconhecimento Automático de Representações de Rúbricas em Agrupamentos de Soluções de Exercícios de Programação
Authors: De Oliveira Márcia Gonçalves , Reblin Leonardo Leal , Souza Mateus Batista de , Oliveira Elias
Published: May 2018

The evaluation of programming exercises is a complex process because, for each exercise that a teacher applies, there are common possibilities for solutions. As the teacher does not always know all the possible solutions of an exercise, it is always a challenge for him to justify all the criteria of his evaluation. In order to support the programming evaluation process, this work proposes a strategy based on clustering techniques and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to recognize, from solutions developed by students, examples of solutions that represent, in a rubric scheme, the scores assigned by a teacher. The results of the experiments in real programming exercises solutions indicate that our method recognizes representations of rubrics demanding little teacher evaluation effort.
Socrates as the Mimesis of Piety in Republic
Authors: Fendt Gene ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2018

The absence of any discussion of the virtue of piety in Plato’s Republic has been much remarked, but there are textual clues by which to recognize its importance for Plato’s construction and for the book’s intended effect. This dialogue is Socrates’s repetition, on the day after the first festival of Bendis, of a liturgical action that he undertook—at his own expense, at the “vote” of his “city”—on the previous day. Socrates’s activity in repeating it the next day is an “ethological” mimesis of properly pious liturgy. In the course of that liturgy we find that piety is specifically discussed, but in a (mimetic) mirror, and darkly (in its absence). The mirror of piety is the laws about stories of the gods. The absence is in the (missing) discussion of the best city, that is, one above aristocracy.
Imperatives of Right
Authors: Israelsen Andrew ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2018

The relationship between Kant’s “Doctrine of Right” and his broader moral philosophy is a fraught one, with some readers insisting that the two domains are mutually supporting parts of a cohesive practical philosophy and others arguing for their conceptual and legislative independence. In this paper I investigate the reasons for this disparity and argue that both main interpretive camps are mistaken, for Kant’s Rechtslehre can neither be reconciled to his moral philosophy nor stand on its own. I argue that this failure results from Kant’s confused attempt to define the sphere of right as one that functions independently of (yet analogously to) the moral domain through the construction of non-moral yet categorical imperatives. The result is a fundamental tension in Kant’s text that can only be solved through either collapsing juridical duties into broad moral duties or denying any categorical status to duties of right.
Circularity in Setiya’s Knowing Right from Wrong
Authors: McBee Joshua D. ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: May 2018

Recently, Kieran Setiya suggested that we might respond to evolutionary debunking arguments by arguing that, even if we cannot explain our reliability in ethics, we might justify believing ourselves reliable using a track record argument. Not surprisingly, several critics have claimed that this response is circular. I consider two senses in which they might be right, concluding that, though Setiya’s argument does not beg the question, it is epistemically circular. Perhaps surprisingly, its epistemic circularity need not prevent Setiya’s argument from justifying its conclusion; nevertheless, I argue, reflection on this issue helps to bring out why realists would do well to eschew the strategy Setiya explores, focusing instead on showing that there is a suitable explanatory connection between our ethical beliefs and the facts.
Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Pathologist's Guide to Creating an Informative Report and Improving Patient Care
Authors: Moreno Prats Mariana , Sasatomi Eizaburo , Stevenson Heather L.
Published: May 2018

Context.—

In this era of minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, pathologists are at the forefront of analyzing specimens and are expected to make more specific diagnoses, providing additional information from the material they receive.

Objective.—

To familiarize pathologists with the essential components of surgical pathology reports for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) resections.

Data Sources.—

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the world and the liver is the most frequent site of metastases. Not all patients are candidates for surgery initially and may be treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, most commonly with FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil/leucovorin and oxaliplatin) and FOLFIRI (5-fluorouracil/leucovorin and irinotecan), after which they may become surgical candidates. When CRLM resections are received post neoadjuvant, the pathologist needs to not only report margin status but also report details regarding the tumor's response to treatment, and should evaluate the nonneoplastic parenchyma for chemotherapy-related injury, such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and/or steatohepatitis that may be caused by treatment. If ancillary tests, such as molecular studies (eg, KRAS, BRAF, NRAS, and microsatellite instability), have been previously conducted, these results should be included in the report. If not, they should be ordered for the resection specimen.

Conclusions.—

In this review, we will describe strategies and practical approaches to maximize the information gained from CRLM resections. A checklist is provided that may be used while signing out these cases to remind pathologists of additional components they may wish to include in their reports to best guide patient management.
Lealtad a la práctica deportiva: Una aplicación de la TPB a los servicios públicos para la práctica deportiva
Authors: Colorado Arango A. L. , Tavera Mesías J. F.
Published: May 2018

La Teoría del Comportamiento Planificado (TPB) ha sido utilizada en múltiples sectores y mercados para explicar el comportamiento de los individuos. En el sector deportivo colombiano nunca se ha utilizado como herramienta para modelar el comportamiento de lealtad de los individuos hacia la práctica deportiva ofertada por las instituciones públicas.

En el presente estudio se propone la TPB como modelo de hipótesis para explicar los antecedentes de la lealtad hacia la práctica deportica, se recoge una muestra empírica de 411 usuarios de los programas de deporte y actividad física del INDERE (La Estrella, Antioquia), se ejecuta un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio para garantizar la fiabilidad y validez del modelo de medida y se contrastan las hipótesis mediante ecuaciones estructurales.

El estudio evidencia que la TPB provee un buen ajuste para modelar el comportamiento de lealtad a la práctica deportiva y concluye que el Control Percibido es el principal antecedente de la lealtad a la práctica deportiva de dichos programas.
Propriété de soi et indifférence morale du rapport à soi
Authors: Maillard Romagnoli Nathalie
Published: May 2018

Je m’interroge dans cet article sur les implications du principe libertarien de la pleine propriété de soi sur la question du rapport moral à soi-même. À travers le principe de la pleine propriété de soi, les libertariens défendent la liberté entière de chacun de vivre comme il l’entend, pourvu que les droits des autres soient respectés. Apparemment, ce principe n’a pas grand-chose à nous dire sur ce que nous sommes moralement autorisés à nous faire à nous-mêmes ou non. Certains libertariens, comme Vallentyne, soutiennent toutefois que le principe de la pleine propriété de soi est incompatible avec l’existence de devoirs envers soi. La pleine propriété de soi impliquerait l’indifférence morale du rapport à soi. Je soutiens dans cet article que le principe de la pleine propriété de soi n’implique pas que ce que nous nous faisons à nous-mêmes soit moralement indifférent. Je veux aussi montrer que même si les libertariens, et en particulier Vallentyne, soutiennent la thèse de l’indifférence morale du rapport à soi, celle-ci n’est pas liée à la thèse de la pleine propriété de soi, mais bien plutôt à leur subjectivisme moral.
Penser la question des rapports aux savoirs en éducation : clarification et besoin de recherches conceptuelles
Authors: Gagnon Mathieu
Published: May 2018

Ce texte examine la question des rapports aux savoirs par la mise en évidence d’enjeux conceptuels, auxquels se rapportent des enjeux éducatifs et éthiques. À cet égard, l’auteur propose un essai de classification et d’organisation par le recours, notamment, à quatre types de rapports aux savoirs.
Savoirs disciplinaires scolaires et savoirs de sens commun ou pourquoi des « idées vraies » ne prennent pas, tandis que des « idées fausses » ont la vie dure
Authors: Lefrançois David , Éthier Marc-André , Demers Stéphanie
Published: May 2018

Les savoirs de sens commun sont solidement ancrés dans les usages, notamment grâce à l’habitude et à la sécurité ontologique qu’ils engendrent. Cet article examinera d’abord pourquoi les savoirs disciplinaires appris à l’école ne sont pas automatiquement réinvestis dans des contextes de nature extrascolaire et pourquoi les savoirs de sens commun résistent à leur déconstruction. La première partie de l’analyse sera marquée par le croisement de discours épistémologiques concernant la nature et la place des savoirs de sens commun dans les conceptions familières de la science. Cet article explorera ensuite les dynamiques qui marquent les relations qu’entretiennent les savoirs disciplinaires scolaires et les savoirs de sens commun en contexte scolaire. Le langage propre à la seconde partie se rattachera davantage aux débats en éducation sur l’importance prépondérante des savoirs de sens commun dans l’apprentissage disciplinaire par concepts. Enfin, nous montrerons qu’il existe des stratégies d’enseignement qui peuvent optimiser l’appropriation intellectuelle des savoirs disciplinaires scolaires et leur transfert dans les interactions quotidiennes.
Théories à processus duaux et théories de l’éducation : le cas de l’enseignement de la pensée critique et de la logique
Authors: Beaulac Guillaume , Robert Serge
Published: May 2018

Plusieurs théories de l’enseignement de la logique et de la pensée critique prennent pour acquis que l’apprentissage théorique, celui des règles formelles par exemple, et son application pratique sont suffisants pour maîtriser les outils enseignés et pour prendre l’habitude de les mettre en usage. Toutefois, tout indique que cet enseignement n’est pas efficace, une conclusion supportée par plusieurs travaux en sciences cognitives. Approcher l’étude de la cognition évolutionnairement avec les théories à processus duaux permet une explication de ces insuffisances, tout en offrant des pistes pour aborder l’enseignement de la pensée critique et de la logique de manière plus efficace. Dans cet article, nous souhaitons présenter cette approche et explorer ces pistes de solution afin de faire quelques recommandations pédagogiques et mettre en place un cadre théorique. Nous présenterons un exemple d’application de ce programme de recherche avec la philosophie pour enfants.
La gouvernance des projets d’architecture : une typologie de la multi-organisation temporaire
Authors: Lizarralde Gonzalo , Djemel Manel
Published: May 2018

Les débats éthiques sur l’architecture ont traditionnellement abordé trois thématiques récurrentes : la beauté, la solidité et l’utilité de l’oeuvre architecturale. Plus récemment, les nouvelles connaissances provenant du domaine de la gestion des projets et du développement durable ont apporté d’importantes contributions à la compréhension de la gouvernance de projets. Cependant, la démarche de réalisation des projets d’architecture est tributaire des caractéristiques propres à l’industrie du bâtiment; une industrie qui fonctionne grâce à la mise en place d’équipes temporaires formées par des organisations hautement spécialisées. L’analyse systémique d’études de cas permet d’identifier la complexité des équipes qui interviennent dans les projets d’architecture. Nous examinons dans cet article trois caractéristiques de l’industrie du bâtiment : (i) la complexité organisationnelle du donneur d’ouvrage, (ii) l’influence des parties prenantes, et (iii) les divers niveaux de proximité entre l’architecte et les usagers. L’identification des diverses configurations organisationnelles met en évidence les effets de ces caractéristiques sur les relations formelles et informelles entre l’architecte et les donneurs d’ouvrage ainsi que celles entre toutes les parties prenantes. L’architecte est contraint de travailler sur un projet qui devient, de plus en plus, l’objet de négociation entre les diverses parties prenantes. Face à ce défi, il doit tenir compte de la complexité des relations entre tous les acteurs au sein du système social du projet et créer les scénarios adéquats à la participation, à la négociation et aux échanges entre eux.
L’approche phénomenologique en urbanisme : la recherche d’une meilleure pratique, la pratique d’une meilleure recherche
Authors: Torres Juan , Breux Sandra
Published: May 2018

En urbanisme, l’approche phénoménologique permet de se pencher sur l’expérience de l’individu et, plus précisément, sur le rapport que celui-ci entretient avec son milieu de vie. Cette approche permet de concevoir des milieux de vie mieux adaptés aux besoins et aux expectatives des individus et suppose des démarches d’aménagement qui accordent un rôle important au citoyen. Toutefois, si l’approche phénoménologique est couramment utilisée dans le cadre de travaux théoriques, elle est difficilement adoptée sur le terrain, en dépit de son utilité et des justifications que l’on peut donner à son utilisation au plan éthique. Dans le présent article, nous explorons les raisons d’une telle disparité en levant le voile sur une double difficulté : difficulté professionnelle, d’une part, à dépasser le modèle déterministe du rapport personne–environnement ; difficulté scientifique, d’autre part, à ancrer la production de connaissances dans les processus de transformation du milieu de vie.
S’exercer à l’empathie : une expérience pédagogique en design d’intérieur
Authors: Bousbaci Rabah
Published: May 2018

Les professionnels ont par définition un public bénéficiaire de leurs services : le patient pour le médecin, le psychologue ou l’infirmière ; le client pour l’avocat ; le consommateur pour le gestionnaire d’une entreprise commerciale ; etc. L’usager ou l’habitant du cadre bâti constitue un des destinataires des services professionnels du designer d’intérieur. De quelle manière peut-on apprendre aux étudiants/futurs professionnels du design d’intérieur à se mettre à la place de l’usager/habitant des espaces qu’ils conçoivent ? Le concept de l’empathie, communément décrit comme la capacité de se mettre à la place de l’autre, de le comprendre et de ressentir ses sentiments et ses émotions, est bien adapté pour explorer cette attitude. Cet article est composé de deux parties. La première présente une expérience pédagogique en design d’intérieur où des étudiants apprennent à se représenter les usagers de leur projet d’aménagement en utilisant un outil méthodologique appelé « boussole éthique ». Cette boussole est constituée essentiellement de trois pôles qui renvoient aux trois rapports fondamentaux de l’être humain tels qu’étudiés dans la tradition stoïcienne : rapport à soi-même, à autrui et à la nature. Dans la seconde partie, l’article met en relief plusieurs éléments théoriques qui permettent de comprendre, de consolider et, éventuellement, de faire évoluer les bases conceptuelles qui sous-tendent cette démarche. Il s’agira notamment des théories éthiques et de certaines approches spécifiques au concept de l’empathie.
La moralité implicite du marché
Authors: Néron Pierre-Yves
Published: May 2018

Dans cet article, je mets en avant une approche de l’éthique du commerce centrée sur la notion de « moralité implicite du marché ». J’essaie d’identifier les grands traits de cette moralité implicite du marché en plus d’exposer les avantages d’adopter une telle approche pour penser les obligations des firmes. Pour ce faire, je tente, en m’inspirant de travaux récents de Joseph Heath, de mettre en lumière le rôle proprement normatif que peut jouer le concept de défaillances des marchés tel que développé dans la théorie économique. Je termine en examinant trois problèmes auxquels fait face l’approche proposée ici.
Faussetés imaginaires
Authors: Tétreault Yvan
Published: May 2018

Les récits de fiction comportant une moralité déviante posent parfois problème quant à la détermination de ce qui est « vrai dans l’histoire ». Si par exemple on a aucune difficulté à considérer comme vrai dans le monde imaginaire que « Giselda a tué son bébé », les choses sont différentes lorsqu’il s’agit d’imaginer une situation dans laquelle nos valeurs morales sont remises en question. Confronté à un récit comportant l’énoncé « Giselda a fait la bonne chose en tuant son bébé, après tout, c’était une fille », on aura tendance à questionner l’autorité de l’auteur : celui-ci peut bienpenserque l’infanticide féminin est moralement justifié, mais en fait c’est faux,même dans l’histoire. Les conditions qui donnent lieu au phénomène ont été articulées de diverses façons, l’objectif étant habituellement de parvenir à une formulation qui dépasse le cadre plus étroitement moral. On invoque par exemple une distinction plus générale entre l’évaluatif et le descriptif. Après avoir caractérisé plus précisément les notions d’imagination et d’imaginabilité, j’examinerai brièvement la littérature sur le sujet et défendrai une solution reposant sur les règles de modification de l’extension et de l’intension des prédicats imaginaires. D’après cette analyse, ce qui se produit dans les récits moraux déviants s’explique par un principe plus général qui s’applique autant à l’évaluatif qu’au descriptif.
Le médecin-écrivain, l’éthique et l’imaginaire
Authors: Zaffran Marc
Published: May 2018

Les médecins qui écrivent sont nombreux à travers le monde, mais les relations entre expérience professionnelle des soignants et écriture de fiction sont plus largement étudiés et reconnus dans le monde littéraire et médical anglophone que dans l’espace francophone. À travers l’examen de quatre romans d’un médecin-écrivain français publiant depuis 1989 et à la faveur d’un entretien inédit, cet article s’interroge sur la manière dont l’expérience professionnelle d’un praticien peut nourrir ses fictions et y transmettre les conceptions de l’auteur sur l’éthique du soin.
