Although human activities are developing in French Guiana Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and surrounding countries, knowledge on diversity and ecology of cetaceans in the region is scarce. This study aimed to collect new information on the cetacean species occurring year-round in the entire French Guiana EEZ by combining visual and acoustic data obtained from three boat-based campaigns conducted by local NGOs. The GEPOG campaign was conducted from July 2011 to June 2012, four days every two months; the COHABYS campaign was performed five days per month from January to May 2018; the OSL campaign consisted in four 10-day surveys conducted in June, July, September and October 2018. The visual observation effort conducted when Beaufort sea state < 5 was 1,961 km, 1,491 km and 3,243 km respectively. Acoustic records were done when Beaufort sea state < 5 during daylight and/or nighttime, depending on the survey. A total of 132 cetacean sightings were done. Five cetacean families and 15 species were identified. Delphinidae was the family most frequently sighted (91% to 100% of groups and 99% to 100% of individuals per campaign). The most frequent species in the area were identified, along with their distribution and phenology: Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) was found in the coastal area (0-20 m), the long-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) was sighted on the shelf (20-100 m), along with the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) that were also common on the upper slope (100-1,500 m). Finally, the spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris), the melon-headed whale (Peponocephala electra) and the pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata) were frequent on the slope (100-3,500 m). The results suggest these species may be found in French Guiana waters all year round and mother and calf pairs, as indicator of reproduction, were observed for all of them except the long-beaked common dolphin and the Guiana dolphin. Mother and calf pairs of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), that potentially belong to the “A” stock, were also sighted twice, as well as two groups of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) with calves. Hence, these results showed that French Guiana bears a particular responsibility for the conservation of cetacean biodiversity, but a lot remains to be done to strengthen knowledge and conservation of these species in the territory.
Applicability of the international humanitarian law to the fight against the Islamic State during the 2013-2017 conflict in Iraq
Authors: Mularczyk Krystian , Saska Karolina
Published: October 2021

The article addresses the applicability of international humanitarian law during the armed conflict in Iraq in 2013-2017 waged against the Islamic State. The paper answers how to classify this conflict against the background of the law of armed conflict. The argumentation for considering it as a non-international conflict with the Islamic State and the Iraqi government as parties is presented. The discussed failure to recognize the Islamic State's status as a state within the meaning of international law does not classify the armed conflict as international. The classification has not been changed by the United States and allied states' intervention, which, as one at the invitation of the Iraqi government, does not mean qualifying the conflict as international. The article also discusses the scope of the norms of international humanitarian law that apply to the conflict in question. It primarily concerns Article 3 that is common to the Geneva Conventions and customary law. Protocol II supplementing the provisions of the Geneva Conventions will not apply as Iraq is not a signatory to it.
Å lære barn verdien av tilgivelse
Authors: Gamlund Espen
Published: October 2021

De fleste av oss har gjort urett mot andre. Hvem har ikke ønsket å bli tilgitt? De fleste av oss har lidd urett. Og hvem har ikke strevd med å tilgi? Vi har alle, på en eller annen måte, gjort erfaringer med tilgivelse. Forfatteren argumenterer for at verdien av tilgivelse bør formidles til barn gjennom å lære dem tre viktige verdier: (1) å være snille mot hverandre; (2) når vi først har vært litt slemme, bør vi si unnskyld; (3) når noen andre har vært litt slemme mot oss, og bedt om unnskyldning, bør vi forsøke å tilgi dem.
A Step Change in Wild Boar Management in Tuscany Region, Central Italy

Published: October 2021

In this chapter, reducing the high-density populations of wild boars in an Italian’s Tuscany region is addressed as a measure of controlling crop damage and road accidents. The issue is usually tackled from a technical and rarely sociological point of view, making the proposed and implemented solutions less effective. The results presented in these chapter highlight the importance of awareness of the social context when the technical choices are applied. The management of ungulates creates economic interests that oppose changes that shift the economic balance, even when the actions taken are for the benefit of the entire community’. In the previous decades, the wild boar populations have increased considerably in Italy in the Tuscany region. As a consequence of this phenomenon, damage to crops and road accidents has increased. In 2016, the Tuscany region enacted a law to change the management of ungulates by promoting individualism in unsustainable harvest rate areas, allowing shooting wild boar with stalking and selling the meat and maintaining a corporate approach in sustainable harvest rate areas. In three years of enforcing the law, damage to crops and road accidents have decreased significantly and meet supply chain has started. On the other hand, a strong reaction against this Law by wild boar drive hunters emerged. The region is, consequently, faced with an emblematic case where political intervention in future is inevitable in order to mediate between long-term results and short-term consensus.

Published: October 2021

Contamination by fungi and mycotoxins in nuts has achieved much attention in recent years. In fact, the fungal metabolites produced by the species of Aspergillus, Penicillium (aflatoxins and ochratoxins), Fusarium (trichothecenes, zearalenones and fumonisins) and Alternaria (alternariotoxins) with toxic and/or carcinogenic effects are considered a threat to human and animal health. In this chapter we will discuss the main fungal taxa and related mycotoxins most frequently associated with these materials. In this regard, the first results on the level of contamination by fungi and mycotoxins in samples of almonds and pistachios of different origins will be reported. The main strategies to reduce the risk of contamination will also be recommended.

Published: October 2021

Advanced carbon nanomaterials, which comprises fullerene, graphene, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered as backbone of engineering and scientific Innovation due to their versatile chemical, physical and electrical properties. Sustainable carbon materials are fabricated using different physical and chemical methods, respectively. Moreover, fabrication methods are used to achieve advanced carbon monoliths which are constituents with desirable properties. Keeping a view of desirable monoliths, diverse allotropes of advanced carbon nanomaterials are mostly employed in renewable energy resources, organic photovoltaic, and energy conservation technology, respectively. Carbon nanomaterials offer tremendous potential for enhancing biology and drug delivery because of biocompatibility. The proposed chapter grants a variety of fabrications methods for sustainable carbon materials as well as highlights the miscellaneous applications. Further, graphene, carbon nanotube (CNT) and fullerene are considered as fast and effective nanocarriers for delivering therapeutic molecules. As advanced carbon materials have controllable porous structure, high surface area, high conductivity, high temperature stability, excellent anti-corrosion property and compatibility in composite materials so they can be employed in energy storage as electrocatalysts, electro-conductive additives, intercalation hosts and ideal substrate for active materials. Meanwhile, the chapter sums up the required demands of advanced carbon materials for technological innovation and scientific applied research.
Osseointegration of Dental Implants and Osteoporosis
Authors: Gibreel Sara , Gassim Mohamed Hasaan , Raj Suraj Amartya , Anil Sukumaran
Published: October 2021

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures. Osteoporosis also results in loss of bone mineral density throughout the body, including the maxilla and mandible. Successful osseointegration of dental implants is attributed to their ability to integrate well with bone. The influence of bone quality on dental implant osseointegration has been discussed in several studies, and higher rates of dental implant failure have been reported in patients with low bone quality and an inadequate bone volume. Osteoporosis represents a risk factor for osseointegration, and this relationship may be derived from the association of the disease with a deficiency in bone formation. This condition would compromise the healing capacity and the apposition of bone at the implant interface. Currently, there is no clear consensus regarding dental implant treatment in osteoporotic individuals. Studies have revealed contradictory reports regarding the success and failure of dental implants in patients with osteoporosis. Antiresorptive agents have been widely used to treat osteoporosis. Dental implant placement in patients on bisphosphonate therapy may trigger osteonecrosis of the bone. Hence, it is important to analyze factors that have to be taken into consideration prior to implant therapy in patients with osteoporosis and those undergoing treatment. This chapter outlines dental implant osseointegration under osteoporotic conditions. The possible effect of bisphosphonate therapy on dental implant survival will also be discussed based on the current literature.

Published: October 2021

Background: Depression is a common mental disorder, and one of the symptoms is low self-esteem. The study of depression and its correlation with self-esteem in students is paramount. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the correlation between self-esteem and depression in the students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS), Iran. Methods: This descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study was performed on 308 students of KUMS in 2018. Data were collected using the questionnaire of self-esteem and Beck depression inventory. The participants were selected via stratified sampling. Data analysis was performed using Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: A significant correlation was observed between self-esteem and depression in the students (P < 0.01). Furthermore, significant associations were denoted between self-esteem, marital status, and interest in the field of study. However, no significant correlations were observed between self-esteem, depression, gender, grade point average, major, education level, and the place of residence. Conclusions: Due to the correlation between high self-esteem and the lower prevalence of depression in students, it is suggested that students' self-esteem be improved by conducting the necessary interventions, such as lifestyle modification, nutrition, and physical activity.

The texts of Vasco de Magalhães-Vilhena which compose Fragmentos sobre Ideologia were written in the 1960s. Firstly, we characterize the political and theoretical context in which the texts were written, as well as the scope of their reception in 2015. Secondly, we underline the following four key issues developed by the author: the restricted and the general sense of ideology in Marx and Engels’ works; the continuity and discontinuity relations between ideology and science; the social and gnosiological roots of idealism; the relation between idea and matter.
Vasco de Magalhães-Vilhena e o seu Legado Epistemológico

Published: October 2021

Having a personal testimony of some less known, or completely unknown elements concerning the biographic sphere as starting point, an attempt has been made to reveal in what extent these aspects influence on the definition of the philosophical researcher profile, and in what way do they determine a methodological option, an intellectual attitude, an epistemological thought. Attention is focused on the main problem of the unity of science, critically analysing how this problem is put into equation, his complexity, the issues that derive from it and the building of an alternative view, different from that of the Wiener Kreis, of the logical empiricism: a materialistic epistemology overcoming or surpassing the formalist conception of the unity of science.

Published: October 2021

Background and Purpose Despite the widespread adoption of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for the treatment of large vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) in the anterior circulation, the optimal strategy for the treatment tandem occlusion related to cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is still debated. This individual patient pooled analysis investigated the safety and efficacy of prior intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in anterior circulation tandem occlusion related to cervical ICA dissection treated with MT.Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of two merged prospective multicenter international real-world observational registries: Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke (ETIS) and Thrombectomy In TANdem occlusions (TITAN) registries. Data from MT performed in the treatment of tandem LVOS related to cervical ICA dissection between January 2012 and December 2019 at 24 comprehensive stroke centers were analyzed. The primary endpoint was a favorable outcome defined as 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0–2.Results The study included 144 patients with tandem occlusion LVOS due to cervical ICA dissection, of whom 94 (65.3%) received IVT before MT. Prior IVT was significantly associated with a better clinical outcome considering the mRS shift analysis (common odds ratio, 2.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.35 to 4.93; P=0.004 for a 1-point improvement) and excellent outcome (90-day mRS 0–1) (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.23; 95% CI, 1.60 to 11.18). IVT was also associated with a higher rate of intracranial successful reperfusion (83.0% vs. 64.0%; aOR, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.21 to 6.03) and a lower rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (4.3% vs. 14.8%; aOR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.05 to 0.80).Conclusions Prior IVT before MT for the treatment of tandem occlusion related to cervical ICA dissection was safe and associated with an improved 90-day functional outcome.

Published: October 2021

Mechanical thrombectomy renders the occluding clot available for analysis. Insights into thrombus composition could help establish the stroke cause. We aimed to investigate the value of clot composition analysis as a complementary diagnostic tool in determining the etiology of large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic strokes (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews [PROSPERO] registration # CRD42020199436). Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we ran searches on Medline (using the PubMed interface) and Web of Science for studies reporting analyses of thrombi retrieved from LVO stroke patients subjected to mechanical thrombectomy (January 1, 2006 to September 21, 2020). The PubMed search was updated weekly up to February 22, 2021. Reference lists of included studies and relevant reviews were hand-searched. From 1,714 identified studies, 134 eligible studies (97 cohort studies, 31 case reports, and six case series) were included in the qualitative synthesis. Physical, histopathological, biological, and microbiological analyses provided information about the gross appearance, mechanical properties, structure, and composition of the thrombi. There were non-unanimous associations of thrombus size, structure, and composition (mainly proportions of fibrin and blood formed elements) with the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) etiology and underlying pathologies, and similarities between cryptogenic thrombi and those of known TOAST etiology. Individual thrombus analysis contributed to the diagnosis, mainly in atypical cases. Although cohort studies report an abundance of quantitative rates of main thrombus components, a definite clot signature for accurate diagnosis of stroke etiology is still lacking. Nevertheless, the qualitative examination of the embolus remains an invaluable tool for diagnosing individual cases, particularly regarding atypical stroke causes.

Objective: To describe the clinicopathological profile of breast cancer patients and association with excess body weight.

Methods: This was a descriptive observational study of 126 women with breast cancer lesions treated between 2015 and 2017 at a cancer referral hospital for 27 municipalities in southwestern Paraná. Patients were categorized according to age at diagnosis, body mass index, menopausal status, molecular subtyping of tumors, histological characteristics, and risk stratification. Data were coded for analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 22.0.0 software.

Results: There were 126 patients diagnosed with breast cancer and more than half of these had an excessive body weight (mean BMI 27.5kg/m2). There was a predominance of the triple negative molecular subtype in overweight women; they also had a higher frequency of tumors larger than 2cm and high histological grade tumors. There were significant associations in the overweight/ obese subgroup such as tumors in the intermediate grade luminal B subtype, presence of angiolymphatic emboli, and a high-risk of disease recurrence.

Conclusion: The data indicate that being overweight is a determinant of worse prognosis in women with breast cancer in southwestern Paraná.

Introduction: Older adults require attention to risks of treatment toxicity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate epidemiological data and clinical outcomes of patients with lung cancer treated with non-curative intent assessed by geriatric assessment (GA) and restricted access to new therapies.

Methods: We evaluated older adults with non-small cell lung cancer treated with palliative chemotherapy or first generation target therapy who underwent GA. Overall survival (OS) was calculated and we performed univariate and multivariate analysis to determine prognostic factors for OS.

Results: Fifty-four patients aged ≥70 years had a median age of 76 years, 76% was classified as Katz A and 50% as Lawton <27. 68.5% were at risk of malnutrition or malnourished; 61.1% had ≥2 comorbidities. The mean OS was 17.1 months. In the univariate analysis, lower survival results were observed for patients with ECOG≥2 (HR=5.9; p<0.001), higher number of metastasis sites (HR=2.0; p=0.04) and liver metastasis (HR=12.6; p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, male gender, ECOG≥2, more than 2 metastatic sites and liver metastases were associated with higher risk of death. We did not observe differences in survival according to functional capacity.

Conclusion: GA showed no prognostic relationship in our small population. Patients with ECOG≥2, more than 2 metastatic sites and hepatic metastasis presented higher risk of death. For the older population, new treatment modalities are fundamental and outweigh the prognostic importance of the clinical factors of GA.
Analysis of security management activities and economic consequences of corruption in privatization of agricultural land in Serbia
Authors: Đukić Stanimir , Avramović Nenad
Published: October 2021

Security management does not make strategic decisions, but it significantly influences their decision-making by providing top management with information and assessments on the basis of which strategic goals are defined and operational decisions are made. The paper also discusses the economic consequences of corruption in the privatization of agricultural land. The subject of the paper is privatization - a litmus test that clearly shows the strength of the Government's commitment to implement comprehensive reforms, primarily due to the consequences it causes in terms of social status and, more importantly, cultural patterns and way of thinking of the population. With privatization, the new owners would very often launder the money gained from criminal activities or would be interested only in acquiring attractive real estate, but not in preserving the production program, which led to a large number of fired workers and destroyed companies.

Published: October 2021

Rural tourism in Serbia and its development has positive effects on all aspects of rural development, both economic and social. The aim of this paperwork is to investigate the importance that touristic cooperatives in rural areas of Serbia, although relatively new in this area, have and can have on the overall development of rural areas. For the purpose of the research, an interview was conducted with the directors of the existing tourist cooperatives in Serbia. Based on the obtained data, it was determined that this form of cooperative association is necessary, not only because of the development of tourism in the countryside, but above all because of the survival of the Serbian village. The obtained data on the problems and limiting factors that cooperative members face in business can be a further basis for future research on the topic of rural development through the establishment and strengthening of tourist cooperatives.

This paper analyzes the impact of human labor prices, mineral fertilizers, pesticides and oil on future apple production, based on ten-year data from 10 surveyed apple producers in the Republic of North Macedonia. The results showed that the prices of all inputs (except oil) in the future period (until 2029) will rise, and that the value of production will decrease. This, in turn, will directly affect the reduction of surface volume and apple production.
Insurance in the time of corona virus: Catastrophic risks in the light of pandemic
Authors: Petrović-Tomić Nataša
Published: October 2021

In the paper is analysed pandemic of COVID-19 from the point of view of insurance market. Author starts from the assumption that insurers are the only companies that could be partners of the state in the process of administration of pandemic risk. Namely, pandemic is a kind of catastrophic and global risk that put on test not only capacities of (re)insurance market but also the readiness of the state to respond to new challenges with synchronized action with the private sector. This primarily refers to the remediation of eco-bomb consequences caused by corona virus. In order to be able to offer affordable insurance of corona risk insurers should receive a subsidy of part of the premiums from the state as well as the subsidy of the part of covered damages. The state should assume proactive role in the process of administrating risk of pandemic and educating all potentially injured persons.
The law applicable to objective arbitrability: 'Lex fori', 'lex arbitri' and their alternatives
Authors: Jovanović Stefan
Published: October 2021

Bearing in mind that there is no uniform solution to the issue of arbitrability of the subject matter of a dispute in international conventions and the Model Law, as well as that different national legislations solve this issue in different ways, the great importance of correctly determining the applicable law for objective arbitrability is noticed. The paper first analyses the lex fori and lex arbitri as classic points of attachment, and then their alternatives such as the lex causae for contract, the place of potential enforcement of the award and the law applicable to the material validity of the arbitration agreement, as well as the proposal to abandon the collision technique. After concluding that for several reasons it is inadequate to apply the law applicable to the arbitration agreement to this issue, and that it is still early to consider that there is an autonomous notion of arbitrability from the New York Convention, the author recognizes that the definition of objective arbitrability encompasses several aspects. Accordingly, for each of them it is necessary to determine separately the applicable law.

Published: October 2021

This article investigates serialization in newspaper comic strips (exemplified by Danish Nikoline Werdelin’s strip Homo Metropolis) with a dual focus on publication structure and composition of individual strips. Reading the forms of Rhythm and Network as symptoms of serialization, the analysis seeks to outline the difference between meeting the comic strip in daily newspapers or in collected books. Furthermore, it investigates how the actual punchlines takes form through constant fluctuation between repetition and interruption. In this way, the article reads Homo Metropolis as an example of how serialized storytelling constantly negotiates the tension between the individual story/punchline and larger network of narratives.
Dette er vandet, dette er brønden

The article analyses the newest season of the cult TV series with a focus on seriality and the connection between title sequence, scenario, recurring characters and audiovisual experimentation. It is evident that David Lynch’s newest trip to TV land is a journey into a transformed territory and one that draws heavily on the visual bombardment of avant-garde filmmaking as well as artistic experiments with the expressive possibilities of the medium itself. This is examined through comparison with the Dadaist filmmaker Hans Richter’s early work in film.

Andreas Hjort Møller: “The Opening of the Barrow – From Rococo Medievalism in Johann Elias Schlegel’s Canut to Viking Romanticism in Johannes Ewald’s Rolf Krage”

This article demonstrates how the representation of the Middle Ages changes from the picture of a barbaric period into the vision of a glorified past. Johann Elias Schlegel adapted a passage from Saxo’s Gesta Danorum for his 1746 play King Canute, which influenced Johannes Ewald’s widely read 1770 Saxonian play Rolf Krage. Both plays were highly popular in their time. Schlegel portrays the Middle Ages as a stark contrast to the absolutist Enlightenment ideals of his own time, whereas Ewald embraces the heathen Middle Ages as world in its own right, in which the author explores the human condition in all its aspects.

Økonomisk science fiction og kritisk anti-utopi
Authors: Pedersen Martin Karlsson
Published: October 2021

The article gives a short introduction to the new field of “economic science fictions” and discusses an economic approach to science fiction focusing on the class aspect of utopian and anti-utopian science fiction. By tracing a common interest in the new regimes of accumulation and exploitation of cognitive labor between Cognitive Capitalism and Dave Eggers’ anti-utopian novel The Circle, the article highlights the dangerous dynamic between class-specific utopian desire and new forms of technologically driven economic exploitation.
At skrive til øret
Authors: Åberg Daniel
Published: October 2021

The essay discusses the development of the audiobook from the author’s perspective. Åberg writes stories for the Storytel Originals series, which is produced specifically for the audiobook format by the audiobook service Storytel. He explains how writing directly for this format affects the author and how the text must be adjusted to the format. Furthermore, he discusses the cultural status of the author writing only, or primarily, for sound. He argues that since literary culture is still focused on the printed book, the audiobook author risks being overlooked or losing status.
Bygder og barakker
Authors: Dybdal Emilie , Grønlund Anders
Published: October 2021

This article examines how work plays a major role in Danish literature about Greenland – often with the workplace as a zone of conflict. At first, a short history of Danish litera- ture about Greenland is presented followed by an analysis of Jørgen Liljensøe’s novel Barakkerne (1977). Lastly, we will discuss the latest Danish literature about Greenland by Kim Leine and Iben Mondrup. Our approach will primarily be informed by theories on space and place but also involve postcolonialism.
Mellem blod, lort, kollegaer og ledelse
Authors: Obbekær Troels
Published: October 2021

This article investigates the ambivalence embedded in the literary motif of the precarious autobiographical narrator’s distanced and solidary gaze on the precarious ‘others’ and their bodies. In analyzing Tragedie plus tid gange ni (2017) and Yarden (2009), the article argues that through ‘precarious narration’ – an unreliable first-person narrator’s inability to understand the other characters and their distress – the novels lead to an understanding of the cultural divisions and work-related experiences of the precariat.

How Teachers in Elementary Schools Evaluate Their Classroom Environments: An Evaluation of Functions of the Classroom Through an Environmental Approach
Authors: Özyildirim Gülnar
Published: October 2021

Understanding the educational environment and effectively regulating it in consistent with educational objectives is an important factor in facilitating teaching and a crucial ability for the teachers. Investigating the perception of 12 classroom teachers at four elementary schools about their classroom environment, this study aims to reveal the situation about their classroom environment, its effects, and the desired classroom environment in terms of the functions of the classroom environment. Two analytical frameworks, Classroom Functions Theory as well as Environmental Competence, are means to understand this topic. A semi-structured interview form and an observation form were used as data collection instruments. In the study, it was observed that the majority of teachers were able to evaluate the classroom environment, but they remained unsolved about how the classroom can be designed better. Besides, the teachers stated that their classroom environments performed social, symbolic identity, and task instrumentality functions in a limited way for various reasons while largely functioning the shelter and security. Finally, the teachers emphasized that their classes did not fulfill growth and pleasure functions and that most of their desires about the classroom environment were related to these functions.
Applications mobiles pour soutenir la santé mentale des jeunes : opportunités et défis
Authors: Ouellet-Morin Isabelle , Robitaille Marie-Pier , Juster Robert-Paul
Published: October 2021

Introduction L’adolescence est une période sensible pendant laquelle plusieurs changements ont le potentiel d’affecter le développement cognitif et psychosocial de l’individu. C’est aussi au cours de cette période que l’on note la plus forte augmentation des troubles de santé mentale. Plusieurs initiatives cherchent à prévenir l’émergence ou la détérioration de ces troubles auprès de jeunes en situation de vulnérabilité parce que vivant des difficultés émotionnelles ou du comportement, ou bien en raison d’expériences adverses auxquelles ils sont (ou ont été) confrontés. À ces efforts, le recours à la technologie est habituellement perçu comme naturel, voire souhaitable, auprès de ces « natifs du numérique ».

Objectif Cette recension critique propose d’examiner les avantages et inconvénients documentés dans la littérature et rencontrés dans le cadre du développement d’une application mobile (app) afin d’évaluer leur potentiel à soutenir la santé mentale et la résilience des jeunes en contextes d’adversité et les facteurs susceptibles d’amoindrir ces impacts.

Résultats/Constats Les apps, par leur format et mode d’utilisation, permettent de transmettre aux jeunes une information juste et fondée sur les meilleures connaissances tout en étant arrimée à leur réalité. Les apps représentent aussi une opportunité d’engager certains jeunes dans un processus de changement ou de les soutenir dans une éventuelle demande d’aide. Bien qu’elles soient disponibles en tout temps et qu’elles peuvent respecter leurs besoins d’autonomie et de confidentialité, de nombreux défis demeurent afin qu’elles puissent soutenir la santé mentale des jeunes, incluant le peu d’attention accordée à la validation scientifique, la protection des données personnelles et la capacité de rétention et d’engagement des jeunes.

Conclusion. Cette analyse critique des connaissances propose une réflexion qui pourrait s’avérer utile afin de soutenir le développement de futures apps rencontrant les meilleurs standards auprès d’une multitude d’acteurs susceptibles de les créer et de les utiliser.
