PERCEPÇÃO DE PAIS/CUIDADOR DE INDIVÍDUOS COM FENILCETONÚRIA, COM E SEM AUTISMO, ACOMPANHADOS EM SERVIÇO DE REFERÊNCIA EM TRIAGEM NEONATAL
Authors: Queiroz Isabella Regina Gomes de , Pondé Milena Pereira
Published: January 2016

Introdução: Fenilcetonúria (FCN) e outros erros de metabolismo estão associados ao autismo. Diagnóstico e tratamento precoces previnem os sintomas. A doença crônica incidindo em etapa precoce interfere na estruturação psíquica e nas aquisições instrumentais do bebê, nos planos real e imaginário. Objetivo: Compreender a percepção de pais/cuidador de indivíduos com fenilcetonúria, com e sem autismo, acompanhados em Serviço de Referência em Triagem Neonatal (SRTN / BA). Métodos: estudo qualitativo exploratório e documental. Foram estudados prontuários de quatro duplas de irmãos com FCN, cada uma composta por um paciente com e outro sem autismo. Nos prontuários, destacou-se relatos sobre: percepção materna, paterna e de irmã cuidadora (de uma das duplas), sobre esses pacientes. A partir da análise de conteúdo, utilizando o programa NVIVO, categorizou-se o material selecionado, agrupando-o, subsequentemente, em árvores temáticas. Nesse artigo serão abordadas as árvores 1) Busca diagnóstica; 2) Funcionamento familiar, focando nos pacientes com autismo. Resultados: Três dos pacientes com autismo nasceram antes do Programa Nacional de Triagem Neonatal (PNTN). Um paciente com autismo e seu irmão realizaram Triagem Neonatal em outro estado, na rede privada, tendo resultado falso negativo. Verificou-se sofrimento e perda do filho idealizado para as mães. Constatou-se diferentes fenótipos e mesma mutação genética em uma das duplas; adoecimento psíquico e desarticulação familiar agravaram a sintomatologia dos pacientes, contribuindo para as diferenças. Considerações finais: Alterações das taxas de fenilalanina e tipo de mutação não esgotam as alterações do funcionamento psíquico dos pacientes – a intervenção interdisciplinar, considerando a estruturação psíquica dos sujeitos, deve ser preconizada.

Introduction: Regular practice of physical activity is important to prevent and treat psychobiological dysfunctions and improve thequality of life. Insufficient levels of exercise have been considered a risk factor for diseases, mainly cardiovascular disorders. Theevidences about the levels of physical activity in college students are inconsistent, especially in physical education undergraduateprograms. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the level of physical activity in Physical Education college students of theUniversidade Federal da Paraíba, considering gender, undergraduate program (degree or bachelor) and term time. Method: The studydesign is transversal, and 159 subjects answered the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), short version. Results: Mostof the college students were classified as active and very actives (77.4%) and, only 22.7% were insufficiently actives. It was observed asignificant association between the level of physical activity and the term time (p=0.001), with a linear and progressive trend to towardsan increase in the number of inactive/insufficiently active students. There was not significant association (p=0.088) between the levelof physical activity and the first or second half of the undergraduate program. College’s Bachelor students of were more active thancollege’s Licentiate students, however, without significant association (p=0.181). In the difference between genders, women have higherlevels of physical activity than men, but without significant association (p=0.797). Conclusion: The results show that students of physicaleducation present appropriate levels of physical activity and students of the last term time are less active than first term time students.

Introduction: The noinvasive ventilation (NIV) has been an important resource for the management of acute respiratory failure (ARF) in intensive care unit (ICU). Several factors related to the patient, the healthcare team and the equipment used can influence in the success or failure of this therapy. Therefore, it is beneficial to analyze the use and effectiveness of NIV in everyday practice, which may lead to shorter hospital staying, reduce costs, and decrease mortality rate. Objective: To observe the use of NIV in patients with ARF in ICU. Methods: Prospective and observational study, assessing 37 patients aged over 18 years, who undergone NIV in ICU for ARF. The volunteers were assessed for clinical characteristics, physiological parameters, and outcome. The sample was divided into success group - SG (nonintubated patients after NIV use) and failure group - FG (intubated patients after NIV use). Results: The NIV was successful in 18 (48.6%) subjects and failed in 19 (51.4%) of them. Acute pulmonary edema was the main reason (62.4%) of ARF found. The FG compared to SG showed longer duration of NIV use (p = 0.05), lower arterial pH (p = 0.00), higher PaCO 2 (p = 0.02) greater accumulated water balance within 24 hours (p = 0.03) and 72 hours (p = 0.05) prior to the last use of NIV. It was also observed that the FG patients had higher hospital mortality rate, as follows: 73.8% versus 16.7% of FG SG (p = 0.00). Conclusion: The FG had a longer ICU staying and higher mortality rate. Moreover, the consciousness levels, the pH level, PaCO 2 and cumulative fluid balance appear to contribute to the success or the failure of NIV.

Introduction: Physically active individuals constantly seek resources that can improve their muscle performance, avoid the appearance of lesions and even relapses. Kinesio Taping has been used for both treatment/prevention of injury and to improve functional performance. The isokinetic dynamometer enables rapid quantitative analysis of many parameters of muscle function, being the peak torque the most representative in research and clinical practice. Objective: To compare the concentric peak torque isokinetic in active individuals with and without the application of kinesio taping. Method: 10 male volunteers were evaluated and submitted to the IPAQ questionnaire, where they were considered actives. Then, were realized isokinetic evaluations into steps: Phase Control (without application of elastic taping) and Phase Bandage (with application of placebo and original bandage). The same protocol isokinetic repetitions of 5 to 60 ° / s knee flexion and extension was adopted in all the stages for the reliability and reproducibility of the data. Results: The application of taping in physically active individuals in isokinetic evaluation did not increase the concentric peak torque at 60 °/s. Conclusion: Was observed reliability and reproducibility of the results, however, no significant differences were observed in concentric peak torque isokinetic of the quadriceps of active individuals with and without the application of the original kinesio taping and placebo.

Published: January 2016

Introduction: Body position affects the respiratory mechanics and could be favorable to pulmonary function when combined with respiratory physiotherapy. Objective: Was to compare the ventilatory restriction in respiratory therapy techniques and changes of position. Method: For analysis of lung volume was measured Slow Vital Capacity (SVC) in university students in the positions: sitting, dorsal decubitus (DD), DD with application of maneuver thoracic blockade of the right hemithorax and right lateral decubitus (RLD). In all maneuvers were instructed to perform an inspiration to total lung capacity and slow exhalation to residual volume. Results: It was evaluated 26 subjects with a mean age of 25.5 ± 11 years and mean body mass index of 25 ± 4 kg/m 2 . The values obtained from SVC sitting, DD, DD with blockade and DLD were respectively 3.5 ± 1.5 liters (87.7 ± 26.8%); 2.9 ± 1.4 liters (75.0 ± 26.5%); 3.0 ± 1.4 liters (75.2 ± 26.2%); 3.5 ± 1.6 liters (88.3 ± 29.4%). Using the SVC in a sitting position as compared, there was no statistical difference in DD (p = 0.024) and DD with position blockade (p = 0.036). There was no significant difference in the DLD (p = 0.459) position. Conclusion: Can conclude that the positions DD and DD with blockade reduced lung volume, whereas DLD position showed no significant difference when compared to sitting position, suggesting that this position is an option favorable position for respiratory therapy.

Introduction: Owing to the surgery of breast cancer, post-surgery healing can evolve with functional alterations, such as pain, decreasing of movement breadth and other alterations that can occur on the homolateral shoulder of surgery. Within this prospect, one proposes the Kinesio Taping ® method as a new resource in physiotherapy area that might be used as coadjuvant treatment of mastectomized patients. Objective: Analysis of the effect of Kinesio Taping ® method in relation with pain relief and increase of the breadth of homolateral shoulder movement from mastectomized patients. Method: Bibliographic review was fulfilled from data bases such as LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, MEDLINE, academic Google, besides other sites and books. Researched period ranged from 2000 to 2014. Results: The results of the researched works indicate that Kinesio taping ® method is effective in the treatment of algic complaints and of increase of movement breadth in pathologies like tendinitis at the rotator cuff and syndrome of shoulder impact. None of the cited studies were realized in mastectomized patients. Conclusion: The mechanisms wherein functional bandage could aid over shoulder performance of mactetomized patients are not clear because there are not any study that proves the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping ® method over this type of treatment to the date.

Published: January 2016

Introduction: Sleep is an inherent condition of life itself, and the physical and mental health is associated with an efficient sleep which in turn contributes to a good quality of life. Objective: To analyze the association between reports of sleep-related problems and the impact of pain on quality of life, and the frequency of reporting nocturnal oral parafunction in patients with dysfunction temporomandibular. Method: 32 subjects with a diagnosis of dysfunction temporomandibular through protocol “Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders”, were evaluated with the analysis of the association of issues related to the influence of pain on quality of life and sleep-related problems and nocturnal oral parafunction. Results: There was a significant positive relation between the quality of sleep (difficulty falling asleep, waking up at dawn and restless or disturbed sleep) and the influence of pain on quality of life of individuals with dysfunction temporomandibular (interference with daily activities, willingness to participate in leisure, social and family activities and the ability to work) on most issues evaluated. As the nocturnal oral parafunction, 90.62% of the subjects complained of squeaks and/or clenching of the teeth during sleep, and 78.13% reported feeling tired or sore jaw upon waking in the morning. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the greater the occurrence of problems related to sleep, the higher the impact of pain on quality of life of patients

Published: January 2016

Introduction: Rhythmic gymnastics (RG) is a sport that combines art biomechanical gestures of high complexity, which requires a high level of development of physical qualities such as agility, flexibility, strength, impulsion and dexterity. In this modality studies show that injuries are attributed more articulate knees, ankles, and in some cases ends wrist sprains being the most frequently recorded in athletes in competition level. Therefore, proprioception and muscle control play a fundamental role in dynamic joint stability, since after orthopedic injuries sensorimotor some characteristics are altered and should be focused on rehabilitation programs to get a better return so the activities prior to the injury. Objective: The objective of this project is to evaluate the effect of proprioceptive training on postural balance of athletes in rhythmic gymnastics - RG, from the use of a force platform BIOMEC400 (EMG System do Brazil, Ltda SP). Method: We performed a proprioceptive training in thirty days, in two stages, moving the complexity of the exercises each phase proprioceptive training. Results: We observed that there was a significant improvement in results of training, when it was used more complex exercises and agility exercises before. Conclusion: Because it is athletes RG high performance and present a predominance of activities in one foot, protocols proprioception should be more intensively, generating a higher level of disturbance and postural imbalances.

Una valoración sobre el fracaso del Manicomio de La Castañeda como institución terapéutica, 1910-1944
Authors: Sacristán Ma. Cristina
Published: January 2016

El manicomio de La Castañeda, inaugurado en la ciudad de México el primero de septiembre de 1910, ha sido calificado como la "cuna" de la psiquiatría pública mexicana por tratarse de una institución que perseguía la curación de los enfermos mentales. Sin embargo, en unos cuantos lustros se hizo evidente el agotamiento de un modelo terapéutico como el del asilo-manicomio de grandes dimensiones, que desde tiempo atrás había sido cuestionado en algunos países occidentales por su limitada eficacia. El artículo muestra algunas evidencias del fracaso de La Castañeda como institución terapéutica, que ponen en manifiesto el tipo de relación construido entre la psiquiatría y el Estado mexicano.

Authors: Altagracia Espada Carlos D.
Published: January 2016

En este trabajo se realiza un estudio de una parte de la historiografía dominicana producida durante la Era de Trujillo. Se examina la imaginación histórico-geográfica en torno a la frontera domínico-haitiana y su relación con la forja de una memoria que vincula las ideas de nación y soberanía con la territorialidad. La idea de nación de tal historiografía está condicionada por el problema fronterizo; en la misma, el paisaje de la frontera es convertido en un archivo capaz de identificar los supuestos peligros que enfrenta la dominicanidad.

Destino Manifiesto y el Sur más allá del Mississippi: Las leyes naturales y la extensión de la esclavitud hacia México
Authors: Dunning Mike
Published: January 2016

Tema del artículo es la controversia acerca del expansionismo norteamericano en la posguerra de 1848. Se analizan las actitudes que prevalecían entre la población del sur de los Estados Unidos hacia México en dicha coyuntura, así como los argumentos racistas, que se basaban en la “ley natural” y el destino manifiesto y que asignaban a los africanos el trópico como habitat natural. Los “sureños” se valieron de estos argumentos para continuar la expansión y con ellos justificaron la creencia de que la esclavitud debía extenderse hacia México. El trabajo se basa en fuentes periodísticas de la época poco conocidas y de difícil acceso.

 
Competencia, rivalidad y anexión en República Dominicana, 1844-1865
Authors: Lee Borges José
Published: January 2016

Este trabajo estudia la competencia y rivalidad que se desataron entre las grandes potencias europeas –especialmente España– y Estados Unidos, para lograr mayor poder económico y político en República Dominicana, en el periodo de 1844 a 1865.  Pone de relieve el papel desempeñado por los primeros “agentes comerciales” o “cónsules”estadounidenses en el país, quienes se enfrentaron con los distintos diplomáticos europeos.  Utilizando la correspondencia de estos agentes o cónsules estadounidenses en Santo Domingo, se analiza el interés y las estrategias de muchos gobernantes dominicanos en anexar o arrendar parte del país a potencias como España, Inglaterra, Francia y la joven Estados Unidos.  Se enfoca particularmente el período de 1861 a 1865, durante el cual República Dominicana pasa nuevamente a ser parte de España.  Se demuestra que Estados Unidos logra mantener una presencia en el país durante esos años y que su interés financiero no disminuye.

El intercambio en la frontera norte de México : comercio internacional en ámbito regional (1850-1884)
Authors: Lopes María-Aparecida
Published: January 2016

En las últimas décadas del siglo xix, Estados Unidos se tornó el principal socio comercial de México. En este proceso los estados del norte mexicano, por su posición geográfica, jugaron un papel crucial, mismo que fue consolidado a partir del establecimiento del entramado ferrocarrilero. Sin embargo, este hecho no constituyó una novedad, más bien vino a confirmar una tendencia histórica relativa al intercambio que había existido en la región antes del porfiriato. En este artículo son analizados los contactos comerciales entre ambos países, entre 1850 y 1880 aproximadamente, y luego después de la introducción de los ferrocarriles. El objetivo central es subrayar, desde una perspectiva regional, la forma como las ciudades fronterizas respondieron a una serie de eventos que transformaron el comercio exterior mexicano en la segunda mitad del siglo xix.

El lugar de la narrativa del exilio republicano en la historiografía literaria mexicana
Authors: Olmedo Muñoz Iliana
Published: January 2016

El debate acerca de la localización en la historia de la literatura de los autores exiliados de 1939 concierne igualmente a España como a México. En el contexto español aún se discute si deben integrarse como un grupo aislado, delimitado y paralelo o si se debe reformular el canon; en el mexicano, se han incorporado en algunos trabajos de referencia y antologías, pero en la historia literaria todavía no se ha establecido cuál es su posición. Al rastrear y describir los distintos criterios historiográficos (en compilaciones, manuales y estudios) que definen la elaboración de las historias de la literatura y la construcción del escenario cultural, este trabajo muestra el difícil lugar del exilio español de 1939 dentro de la literatura mexicana.

Este artículo se propone analizar la dinámica de las relaciones entre la oposición política y los actores de la esfera de la prensa escrita durante la emrgencia y consolidación del peronismo, con el fin de avanzar en un aspecto escasamente investigado en la historiografía sobre el tema. Explora las estrategias conjuntas desarrolladas por la Unión Cívica Radical, el diario La Gaceta y el círculo de la Prensa en la provincia de Tucumán durante el periodo 1943-1949. Se sostiene la hipótesis de que luego de la derrota electoral de 1946 el radicalismo artículo junto a ambos actores una estrategia opositora que reconoció entecedentes en el periodo abierto por el golpe de Estado de 1943, cuando una constelación de sectores políticos apoyó la postura contraria al régimen que se desarrolló en la esfera de la prensa escrita.

¿Existe la nación argentina? Estudio de un caso: el conflicto armado de Corrientes, Paraguay, Buenos Aires (1839-1847)
Authors: Herrero Alejandro
Published: January 2016

Desde hace varias décadas se ha empezado a debatir sobre los orígenes nacionales desde una perspectiva que plantea la construcción tanto de los Estados como de las naciones, poniendo en duda los relatos historiográficos que suponían que las naciones eran un hecho dado. Para los casos sudamericanos, para dar un ejemplo, algunos historiadores señalaban su nacimiento en la colonia y otros tras el proceso de revolución e independencias. En la historiografía argentina fueron los trabajos pioneros de Oscar Oszlak y José Carlos Chiaramonte los que comenzaron a revisar estas imágenes historiográficas. Mi artículo, en plena sintonía con estos pioneros y sobre todo con los de  Chiaramonte, intenta avanzar un poco más en esta nueva perspectiva, examinando un estudio de caso: la guerra de los gobiernos de Corrientes y de Paraguay contra el gobierno de Buenos Aires (1839-1847). En dicha guerra se desarrolla un debate donde se discute, de manera expresa, la existencia de una nación argentina. Mi objetivo principal, al analizar este caso y este debate puntual, es revisar una vez más la idea de una nación argentina percibida como un hecho ya dado, y no como una construcción asociada a decisiones políticas; y percibida como la única opción posible y no como una opción más para las distintas provincias del ex virreinato del Río de la Plata.
Sino-Senegalese Cooperation: An Impulse to Innovative Growth Strategies for Senegalese SMEs
Authors: Alioune Diop Pape
Published: January 2016

Since 2005, Senegal and China have developed painstaking efforts to flourish in win-win cooperation. However, the outcome of this collaboration is still under scrutiny due to several constraints in the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. This study examined how the Sino-Senegalese cooperation could be a mean for Senegalese SMEs to grow their businesses through competitive strategies. The purpose of the study was to explore practical uses of growth strategies that may enable the Senegalese SMEs to develop sustainably. We adopted an inductive research approach by using descriptive and interpretive statistical analysis methods. We explored the data using SPSS 16.0. We can summarize the findings as follows: (1) Senegalese SMEs in China face problems related to unstable government regulations; high money transaction costs and high tax rates rather than access to finance; (2) there is a high degree of informality among SMEs in Guangzhou and Yiwu despite the relatively high level of education of the SME managers; (3) they can incorporate many growth strategies in the management of their businesses concerning the idiosyncratic pitfalls we have identified in the research. The Ansoff matrix, innovative strategic moves, and strategic networking have shown to be important tools for the Senegalese SMEs operating in China to grow steadily and sustainably. A way to grasp the originality of this thesis is that many of the major works published in this field mainly focus on China’s strategy for Africa. We find less evidence in the literature for China’s presence in a resource-independent economy like Senegal. And by doing so, they barely mention the negative impacts of this cooperation, nor do they alleviate the opportunities and strategies that can be put forward for SMEs growth.
Testosterone and Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: Tambo Amos , Roshan Mohsin H.K. , Pace Nikolai P.
Published: January 2016

Cardiovascular disease [CVD] is a leading cause of mortality accounting for a global incidence of over 31%. Atherosclerosis is the primary pathophysiology underpinning most types of CVD. Historically, modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors were suggested to precipitate CVD. Recently, epidemiological studies have identified emerging risk factors including hypotestosteronaemia, which have been associated with CVD. Previously considered in the realms of reproductive biology, testosterone is now believed to play a critical role in the cardiovascular system in health and disease. The actions of testosterone as they relate to the cardiac vasculature and its implication in cardiovascular pathology is reviewed.
World crisis and world state in Jacques Attali’s conception
Authors: Gajic Aleksandar
Published: January 2016

Before the arise of the world economic crisis, contemporary concepts of World
State creation had been based mainly on political and military-security
reasons of global integration. They all emerged from ?Peace plans? of
confederate consociation of national states primarily into the peace, and,
then, supranational political organizations. All of the modern plans of World
State that had originated in the ?Peace politics? of modern era were based on
political and security arguments and offered political and institutional
solutions, while their contemporary followers operated these ideas
theoretically only in much different current circumstances. Only after the
crisis had erupted, did new ideas and new concepts of the World State
supporters emerge, suggesting how to handle the consequences of the crisis.
As some national states have demonstrated incapacity to deal with it, new
reasons for ?necessary? global institutional superstructure have appeared.
The most important opinion on this matter was given by Jacques Attali, well
known French economist, writer and high public official. This paper gives
Attali?s philosophical and historical overview on world crisis as the first
financial crisis of mondialization. Attali explains the inevitable historical
pattern that anarchic mondialization has led to, which, he presumes, requires
establishment on global level, what was previously done on the national
level. Furthermore, he gives the description of a possible World State as a
presumed result of balance between market and democratic forces that will
lead into the establishment of new institutions on the basis of those already
existing, global international organizations. All of these presumptions are
exposed to criticism in the final section of the paper.
Attachment observability of a rotating body-beam
Authors: Deguenon Judicael , Barbulescu Alina
Published: January 2016

In this article we analyze the admissibility and the exact observability of a body-beam system when the output is taken in a point of attachment from the beam to the body. The single output case chosen here is the practical measurement of the strength, its velocity or its moment. We prove the exact observability for the moment and the admissibility for the other cases. These results are obtained by the spectral properties of rotating body beam system operator and Ingham's inequalities.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cancer Cell Cytotoxicity: Implications for Multi-Targeted Cancer Therapy
Authors: D’Eliseo Donatella , Velotti Francesca
Published: January 2016

Cancer is a major disease worldwide. Despite progress in cancer therapy, conventional cytotoxic therapies lead to unsatisfactory long-term survival, mainly related to development of drug resistance by tumor cells and toxicity towards normal cells. n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can exert anti-neoplastic activity by inducing apoptotic cell death in human cancer cells either alone or in combination with conventional therapies. Indeed, n-3 PUFAs potentially increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to conventional therapies, possibly improving their efficacy especially against cancers resistant to treatment. Moreover, in contrast to traditional therapies, n-3 PUFAs appear to cause selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells with little or no toxicity on normal cells. This review focuses on studies investigating the cytotoxic activity of n-3 PUFAs against cancer cells via apoptosis, analyzing the molecular mechanisms underlying this effective and selective activity. Here, we highlight the multiple molecules potentially targeted by n-3 PUFAs to trigger cancer cell apoptosis. This analysis can allow a better comprehension of the potential cytotoxic therapeutic role of n-3 PUFAs against cancer, providing specific information and support to design future pre-clinical and clinical studies for a better use of n-3 PUFAs in cancer therapy, mainly combinational therapy.
Anthropogenic Influences in Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Mediterranean Forest Landscapes in Sicily

Published: January 2016

This paper analyzes and quantifies the land use/land cover changes of the main forest and semi-natural landscape types in Sicily between 1955 and 2012. We analyzed seven representative forest and shrubland landscapes in Sicily. These study areas were chosen for their importance in the Sicilian forest panorama. We carried out a diachronic survey on historical and current aerial photos; all the aerial images used to survey the land use/land cover changes were digitalized and georeferenced in the UTM WGS84 system. In order to classify land use, the Regional Forest Inventory 2010 legend was adopted for the more recent images, and the CORINE Land Cover III level used for the older, lower resolution images. This study quantifies forest landscape dynamics; our results show for almost all study areas an increase of forest cover and expansion, whereas a regressive dynamic is found in rural areas due to intensive agricultural and pasturage uses. Understanding the dynamics of forest landscapes could enhance the role of forestry policy as a tool for landscape management and regional planning.

Measure of Clinical Decision-Making Abilities of Nurse Practitioner Students
Authors: O'Rourke Jennifer , Zerwic Julie
Published: January 2016

Background:

This study reports the validity and reliability of using unfolding case studies to measure the clinical decision-making abilities of nurse practitioner students.

Method:

Two unfolding case studies were developed to assess students' ability to collect, interpret, and evaluate data. Content validity was assessed through percent agreement from three expert clinicians. Reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha, test–retest, and interrater reliability.

Results:

Fifty-two participants, primarily from family, acute care, and adult nurse practitioner programs, completed both unfolding cases. Content validation was nearly 100% for most items; other items were revised or deleted. A significant correlation was found between total mean scores at initial testing and at 1 month after both cases. High inter-rater reliability of the scored tool was noted, as measured with intraclass correlation coefficient.

Conclusion:

The use of case studies is a learner-centric method to measure the development and transition of clinical decision making. [

An Innovative Approach to Staffing a Simulation Center in a College of Health Professions
Authors: Berro Elizabeth A. , Knoesel Joanne M.
Published: January 2016

Background:

The current limited number of nurse faculty and available clinical sites requires innovative strategies to provide education to current and future nurses. Simulation centers and clinical education laboratories can meet this need, but staffing issues can be problematic.

Method:

This article describes how an urban university developed a cost-effective model to staff its clinical education laboratory. After two faculty members proposed a pilot program to fully integrate simulation into both the accelerated and traditional undergraduate nursing programs on two campuses, a need was identified for more nursing staff dedicated to the simulation program.

Results:

Knowing that many recent nurse graduates were available while waiting to obtain their first nursing position, these new nurses were recruited to serve in a volunteer capacity, supporting nursing faculty in the simulation program.

Conclusion:

The new nurse graduate volunteer position quickly evolved into a paid nurse intern position and has proven to benefit students, faculty, and new nurse graduates. [

Washington Irving, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. : le Moyen Âge aux origines
Authors: Louis-Dimitrov Delphine
Published: January 2016

The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. (1819-1820) de Washington Irving, recueil de trente-quatre « esquisses », essais et contes, est un texte fondateur. Il est le point de départ de la tradition américaine de la nouvelle, le socle d’une mythologie nationale, et l’acte de naissance d’une identité littéraire américaine enfin reconnue sur la scène internationale. Le passé européen et surtout médiéval y occupe pourtant une place prépondérante et devient, de façon très paradoxale, la clef de voûte de l’identité littéraire américaine qui se définit ici. Dans une nation en quête de racines, d’ancêtres et d’héritages, le Moyen Âge est un enjeu de mémoire, une période fondatrice qu’il s’agit de se réapproprier. Le pseudonyme du narrateur, Geoffrey Crayon, est ainsi l’indice de la revendication d’une filiation avec Geoffrey Chaucer, dont la présence encadre le recueil. L’hypotexte médiéval sous-jacent aux contes de la vallée d’Hudson offre en outre un idiome qui intervient dans l’exploration de thématiques américaines touchant à l’identité de la nation. La présence médiévale se manifeste enfin dans l’esthétique pittoresque que proclame The Sketch Book, qu’il s’agisse de ruines au sein d’un paysage européen ou, en leur absence, d’ « associations » créées par l’écriture. Ce parcours tentera ainsi de montrer en quoi le Moyen Âge se constitue ici en espace esthétique.
“This Rude Chivalry of the Wilderness”: Chivalry and Native Americans in Cooper’s and Irving’s American Novels
Authors: Pilote Pauline
Published: January 2016

« In the four quarters of the globe, who reads an American book? » Cette phrase bien connue est tirée d’un compte-rendu fait en janvier 1820 par Sidney Smith du livre d’Adam Seybert Statistical Annals of the United States of America pour l’Edinburgh Review. Ce n’est sans doute pas un hasard si ce même texte suit dans le numéro un article qui fait un compte rendu des œuvres de Scott publiées jusqu’alors et qui cite en guise d’exemple de longs extraits du dernier roman en date, Ivanhoe. En effet, ce roman de Sir Walter Scott qui met en scène l’Angleterre médiévale fut sans doute l’un des plus populaires aux États-Unis. Cet engouement révèle alors un attrait pour le Moyen-Âge européen chez les Américains des premières décennies du xixe siècle. En effet, les contemporains américains de Scott ont recours aux motifs médiévaux déjà présents dans Ivanhoe – stéréotype du chevalier servant, demoiselle en détresse, code de l’honneur, etc. – pour décrire les Amérindiens qui peuplent leurs textes. James Fenimore Cooper, dénommé le « Scott américain », tout comme Washington Irving transposent ces motifs médiévaux sur le wilderness et dépeignent ainsi le Nouveau Monde comme une terre vouée aux prouesses chevaleresques. Ce paysage supposé primitif en vient alors à être paradoxalement pourvu d’une atmosphère de romance.
Du Moyen-Âge barbare au Moyen-Âge matrice de la modernité : histoire d’une métamorphose historiographique. Du romantisme à l’histoire des mentalités 1830-2015.
Authors: Amalvi Christian
Published: January 2016

À l’époque romantique, le Moyen Âge représente à la fois une époque pittoresque et un moment qui cause l’effroi. Pittoresque à cause de la Cour des miracles, de la Fête des fous, du carnaval. Cependant la puissance de l’Église sur la société fait peur aux libéraux et aux républicains. Or, cent-cinquante ans après, les travaux des historiens de l’École des Annales – Georges Duby, Jacques Le Goff, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, Jean Favier – présentent un visage beaucoup plus positif de l’époque médiévale. Le présent article tente d’expliquer comment on est passé d’un Moyen Âge terrifiant à un Moyen Âge en pleine lumière, symbolisé par ses merveilleuses créations artistiques, notamment les cathédrales gothiques.
Altérité ou proximité de la littérature médiévale ? De l’importation d’une notion “européenne” en Amérique du Nord
Authors: Ferré Vincent
Published: January 2016

Afin d’envisager le déplacement, la translation, la translatio, mais aussi de penser le caractère ambivalent de la relation au Moyen Âge – perçu tantôt comme un idéal, tantôt comme contre-modèle – entre « fascination et répulsion », on s’intéresse ici à la notion d’altérité, ce concept présentant l’intérêt de ne pas posséder la même extension, ni la même définition dans les deux contextes et cultures (américain et européen) envisagés. Partant des travaux de Paul Zumthor (Essai de poétique médiévale, 1972) et de Hans Robert Jauss sur « The Alterity and Modernity of Medieval Literature” (1977), l’article retrace une partie de la généalogie de l’idée de la singularité et de l’altérité du Moyen Âge, devenue apparemment une évidence partagée, alors que cette conception a évolué lors de son adaptation dans certains cercles critiques américains, perdant au passage une partie de sa fécondité. En particulier, l’importance de la dialectique entre altérité et familiarité (ou modernité) fait enfin l’objet de rapprochements avec les réflexions d’historiens tels que Pierre Nora et Jacques Le Goff, montrant son enjeu épistémologique au sein des études littéraires comme ses enjeux pour le dialogue entre littérature et histoire.
“Go West Young Joan!” Mark Twain’s Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc (1896)
Authors: Kilgore-Caradec Jennifer
Published: January 2016

Les artifices qu’utilisait Mark Twain en 1895-96, pour publier anonymement son roman Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc dit de son page, Sieur Louis de Conte, ont mystifié ses lecteurs, non pas moins que sa fascination pour cette héroïne, alors qu’il était un athée déclaré. En fait, sa première rencontre avec Jeanne avait fini par faire de lui un écrivain, mais ce ne fut que vers la fin de sa vie que Jeanne devint visible dans ses préoccupations. Pendant l’Affaire Dreyfus, Charles Péguy et Mark Twain (qui ne se connaissaient pas, semble-t-il) décident de composer des ouvrages sur Jeanne, en lien avec leurs propres engagements, en faveur de Dreyfus et en faveur de la démocratie. Pour Twain, ses écrits et discours sur Jeanne montrent son admiration pour son exemple de patriotisme, avec un biais anti-anglais propre à un américain. Twain arrive néanmoins à suggérer dans ce portrait une critique de l’impérialisme des États-Unis de la fin de siècle.

Published: January 2016

Cet article cherche à comprendre les pratiques de l’édition de texte en Amérique du Nord de ces 15 dernières années avec un regard particulier sur la réalisation des projets d’édition numérique. La discussion vise à donner un panorama bibliographique des éditions numériques les plus importantes de cette période et à examiner les problèmes théoriques associés à la transformation de la page manuscrite en page numérique. À partir d’une sélection représentative de projets, l’article analyse le développement des méthodes et des résultats d’équipes novatrices tels que The Roman de la Rose Digital Library, John Hopkins University; The Princeton Charrette Project, Princeton University; The Piers Plowman Electronic Archive, University of Virginia  et The Cantus Database, University of Waterloo. Cette analyse met en évidence le bénéfice apporté par ces projets aux médiévistes et à un public plus large.
Marshall McLuhan : un spectre hante-t-il les études médiévales canadiennes ?
Authors: Moran Patrick
Published: January 2016

Cet article revient sur les travaux de Marshall McLuhan et sur leur influence diffuse sur les études médiévales, au Canada et ailleurs. Le paradigme médiatique formulé par McLuhan lui permet, dans La Galaxie Gutenberg, de dépeindre un Moyen Âge transitionnel, une civilisation mixte qui tend vers une domination massive des médias visuels et vers l’invention de l’imprimerie, mais a encore un pied fermement ancré dans le paysage médiatique antérieur, celui de l’ouïe et de la synesthésie. L’article examine la valeur heuristique des propositions formulées par McLuhan, ainsi que leur influence sur le discours médiéviste canadien, depuis la lecture critique de Paul Zumthor au début des années 1980 jusqu’aux approches actuelles fondées dans le renouveau philologique et codicologique de la fin du xxe siècle et du début du xxie.
