Authors: Vázquez Ferreira Rubén , Gabriel y Galán † José María , Alfaya Pedro , Vicent María , Prada Carmen
Published: May 2021

Cranfillia opaca is a fern species present in New Caledonia, for which a great variation in morphology is reported. Some other species such as Blechnum deplanchei have been proposed, but those were later synonymized with C. opaca. In this work, we have studied this taxon at both the morphological and the anatomical level, as well as its ecology and geographical distribution. We found differences between C. opaca s.s. and B. deplanchei in the morphology of the sterile and fertile fronds, in several morphoanatomical features such as trichome shape, length, and distribution, and length and/or shape of different structures of sporangia and spores. The distribution of both taxa was also different, but they are sympatric at some localities. The differences identified in this study support the recognition of both taxa, and the combination of Cranfillia deplanchei (Baker) Vázquez Ferreira & Gabriel y Galán, which we propose here. A new taxonomic description is provided for both species.

Published: May 2021

Деятельность британская вещательная корпорация Би-Би-Си как общественной организации подразумевает опору на принципы независимости и подотчетности. Однако в современных условиях противоречивой геополитической ситуации, когда вещательные корпорации являются инструментом формирования имиджа страны на мировой арене, закономерно возникает вопрос об их редакционной и экономической зависимости. При этом в научном дискурсе наблюдается недостаток работ, посвящённых анализу практической реализации принципов независимости и подотчетности медиакорпорации Би-Би-Си. В связи с этим автором поставлена цель определить степень соответствия декларируемых Корпорацией нормативных стандартов её реальной деятельности через изучение различных аспектов нормоприменения. В ходе исследования выявлены несоблюдение принципов редакционной и экономической независимости, подотчетности перед аудиторией.

Neuroprotective potential of Cilostazol in 3-NP provoked Huntington's disease-associated symptoms
Authors: Gupta Surbhi , Sharma Bhupesh
Published: May 2021

Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative condition specified by mitochondrial deficits, psychiatric and cognitive impairment developed due to neuronal damage in the brain. 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP), an inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase develops behavioral, biochemical as well as histological alterations in the striatal region of brain, which resembles HD in humans. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) participate in cognition, motor functions, and behavior as well as also offers neuroprotection. The present investigation was framed to analyze the neuro-defensive characteristics of cilostazol PDE3 inhibitor over the 3-NP induced behavioral, striatal and mitochondrial deficits. Administration of 3-NP (10mg kg-1; i.p.) for the duration of 14 days has shown considerable alterations in behavior such as decreased locomotion (actophotometer), reduced grip strength (rota-rod test), spatial learning memory (elevated plus maze and Morris water maze). In parallel to, 3-NP treated rats exhibit biochemical changes such as increased oxidative stress (enhanced lipid peroxides, reduced glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase), disturbed cholinergic function (increased acetylcholinesterase activity), increased inflammation (more myeloperoxidase) and mitochondrial dysfunction (reduced complex I, II and IV activity). Histopathological changes (Nissl stain) like chronic neuronal gap, pyknotic nuclei as well as injured cells in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus were also observed in 3-NP treated rats. Administration of cilostazol considerably restored behavioral abnormalities, biochemical and histopathological alterations. In this investigation, cilostazol offered neurodefensive effects which were established by behavioral and biochemical paradigms, which confirmed the potent neurodefensive aspect of cilostazol in 3-NP provoked behavioral and biochemical abnormalities.

Authors: Saleh Basel , Al-Mariri Ayman
Published: May 2021

Methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate and hot water extracts of different parts (leaves, seeds, fruits and twigs fractions) of Psidium guajava L. were investigated for their antibacterial activities against 8 bacterial isolates. Inhibitory effects of P. guajava L. extracts have been screened by disc- diffusion method (Zone of inhibition, ZI), activity index (AI) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination. Ciprofloxacin antibiotic was used as standard for P. guajava L. antimicrobial activity comparison. From the ZI, AI and MIC values, methanolic and hot water extracts of twigs < 1cm diameter were the most potent against all tested micro-organisms by showing the highest ZI and AI value and the lowest MIC values. Whereas, no inhibitory activity was recorded for both seeds and fruits extracts using all tested solvents. These observations make this plant a potential source that can be used in management of bacterial infections. Moreover, methanolic and hot water extracts of twigs < 1cm required further in depth study.

To observe the effect of high temperatures stresses i.e., normal (25 °C), high (30 °C) and very high (35 °C) stress, on germination and seedling growth on wheat genotypes a water culture study was conducted under controlled conditions (growth incubators). Eighteen newly developed wheat lines (DH- I, DH-3, DH-4, DH-5, DH-6, DH-7, DH-8, DH-10, DH-11, DH-12, DH-13, DH-14, DH-15, DH-16, DH-18, DH-19, DH-20 and DH-21) were tested along with two local checks i.e., Kiran-95 and LU-26s. There was a gradual reduction in germination and seedling growth at 30 °C and 35 °C. Among the tested genotypes the genotype DH-16 showed least reduction i.e. only 2.27% reduction in germination at 35 °C. On the other hand the genotype DH-6 showed maximum reduction (28.09%) at 35 °C. High temperature stresses also affected on other growth parameters i.e. shoot and root length (cm), fresh and dry matter (g) of shoot and root and the moisture contents. It is based on relative reduction over control in various growth parameters at very high temperature stress (35 °C), four genotypes viz., DH-3, DH-5, DH-8 and DH-13 appeared as tolerant, nine genotypes i.e., DH-1, DH-4, DH-7, DH-10, DH-11, DH-14, DH-18, and LU-26s appeared as medium tolerant and two as medium sensitive i.e. DH-6 and DH-16. On the other hand six genotypes viz., DH-12, DH-15, DH-19, DH-20, DH-21 and Kiran-95 showed sensitivity 35 °C over 25 °C. It is therefore concluded that the genotypes DH-3, DH-5 and DH-13 can be cultivated on heat prone areas of Pakistan especially in Sindh province.

What drives wages differentials in Greece: workplaces or workers?
Authors:   Bank of Greece, Kosma Theodora , Petroulas Pavlos , Vourvachaki Evangelia
Published: May 2021

Using a micro-aggregated dataset that contains gross wages as well as employer and employee characteristics, we investigate whether observed wage differentials in Greece reflect mostly the underlying variation in employer characteristics, i.e. the structure of the Greek production, or worker and job characteristics. Our results show that both employer and worker characteristics are important contributors to the observed wage dispersion of full-time private sector jobs in Greece. Occupation and workplace effects alone explain around 52% of the overall wage variation in Greece. An additional 11% is explained by controlling for the impact of workplace-occupation matching. Other observable characteristics of the workers such as age, gender and type of job contract add up to 23.5% more explanatory power. Finally, our results also show that both the observed gender and contract type wage gaps are more prevalent among high-skilled occupations, acting thus as a disincentive to the acquisition of skills.

This study proposes to estimate the actual crop evapotranspiration, using the SAFER model, as well as calculate the crop coefficient (Kc) as a function of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and determine the biomass of an irrigated maize crop using images from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared (TIRS) sensors of the Landsat-8 satellite. Pivots 21 to 26 of a commercial farm located in the municipalities of Bom Jesus da Lapa and Serra do Ramalho, west of Bahia State, Brazil, were selected. Sowing dates for each pivot were arranged as North and South or East and West, with cultivation starting firstly in one of the orientations and subsequently in the other. The relationship between NDVI and the Kc values obtained in the FAO-56 report (KcFAO) revealed a high coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.7921), showing that the variance of KcFAO can be explained by NDVI in the maize crop. Considering the center pivots with different planting dates, the crop evapotranspiration (ETc) pixel values ranged from 0.0 to 6.0 mm d-1 during the phenological cycle. The highest values were found at 199 days of the year (DOY), corresponding to around 100 days after sowing (DAS). The lowest BIO values occur at 135 DOY, at around 20 DAS. There is a relationship between ETc and BIO, where the DOY with the highest BIO are equivalent to the days with the highest ETc values. In addition to this relationship, BIO is strongly influenced by soil water availability.

The growth in demand for gluten-free products linked mainly to health aspects has led to an increased interest in the production of mixed flours for use in bakery products. This work aimed to evaluate the use of different mixtures of cassava starch with banana flour, obtained from the pulp and peel of green fruits, for the production of gluten-free biscuits. In the preparation of the biscuits, seven mixtures were prepared with varying percentages of cassava starch, banana pulp flour and banana peel flour. A formulation with wheat flour was used as a control. Wheat flour, cassava starch and banana flours were analyzed for chemical composition. The results showed that the banana peel flour stood out for its higher levels of proteins, fibres, lipids, ash, total phenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity which make this flour effective as a functional additive. However, the results of physical and sensory characteristics of the biscuits showed that the variation in the percentage of banana peel flour led to greater changes in the quality attributes of the biscuits, so the percentage of inclusion should be limited. Banana pulp flour (UBF) had high starch content, however, the biscuits produced with higher percentages of this flour and lower percentages of cassava starch showed lower propagation rates, greater hardness and less sensory acceptance, showing the importance of the starchy raw material in the physical properties of biscuits. Formulations containing cassava starch mixed with up to 15% banana flour (1:1, pulp and peel) are a good basis for making gluten-free biscuits.

There is no consensus in the literature as to the best platelet-rich plasma (PRP) acquisition method or the ideal platelet concentration to stimulate tissue repair. Besides that, most studies do not provide a clear and replicable description of the methods used, which makes standardization and result comparison difficult. Thus, this study aimed to accurately describe the method and evaluate factors influencing PRP preparation in equines. In this regard, two protocols were used, P1 and P2, based on two centrifugation methods, which differed in blood volume, speed and time, and platelet pipetting and resuspension. In conclusion, factors such as centrifugation strength and time are essential to obtain PRP with adequate platelet count. However, other factors such as tube type and plasma pipetting and resuspension methods directly interfere with the replicability of the technique, and hence influencing PRP applicability.

Mycoplasma is an important avian pathogen that can cause both respiratory disease and synovitis in birds, resulting in considerable economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. This study aimed to determine the incidence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. synoviae in broiler flocks at the Federal District and its surrounding regions using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All slaughtered lots (57 flocks) were analyzed from July to November in one of the two slaughterhouses at the Federal District with Federal inspection services. Approximately 10 samples of broiler tracheae per slaughtered batch were collected from the evisceration line. The results obtained from the accumulated incidence over the study period were 7.02% and 35.09% for M. gallisepticum and M. synoviae, respectively. A greater concentration of flocks affected by M. synoviae was observed during October. The sample design as well as the PCR technique assisted in detecting both agents in the broiler batches in the first epidemiological study of these two agents in the region.
Antiochus IV and the Three Horns in Daniel 7
Authors: Scolnic Benjamin
Published: May 2021

Daniel 7 presents a symbolic vision that describes how Antiochus IV “uprooted” the three horns that represent Seleucus IV and his sons Demetrius I and Antiochus. This study suggests that Rome conspired with Antiochus IV to deliberately sideline Seleucus IV’s direct heir Demetrius I by demanding him as a principal hostage in 175, just before the king would be assassinated. Antiochus IV then presented himself as loyal coregent with his nephew Antiochus while planning the latter’s assassination, which he ordered in 170.
Isaiah 40:1–2: Reading Royal Commission as a Call for Return Migration in the Early Persian Period
Authors: Cunningham Marshall A.
Published: May 2021

This paper offers a new interpretation of Isa 40:1–2 that takes into account the greater rhetorical project of Isa 40–48 as well as evidence of Judean diaspora life from Āl–Yāḫūdu. Rather than a charge to the divine council, the call to comfort Jerusalem is meant to inspire an embedded community of Judeo-Babylonians to return migrate by hailing them as members of Yahweh's royal procession. This new reading gestures towards broader questions of Judean diaspora identity in the 6th century.

Published: May 2021

Alih guna lahan dan perubahan iklim merupakan faktor-faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi kondisi hidrologi di suatu Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS), dan yang dapat mempengaruhi efektifitas fungsi DASdalam mempertahankan keseimbangan neraca air di tingkat bentang alam. Oleh karena itu pengelolaan DAS yang didukung dengan perencanaan DAS terpadu yang juga mengatur peruntukan dan pemafaatan wilayah sangat diperlukan. Langkah awal dalam perencanaan DAS adalah dengan menilai kondisi fungsi hidrologi DAS tersebut dengat tujuan mengetahui apakah DAS mulai atau telah mengalami degradasi, atau sebaliknya mulai mengalami perbaikan fungsi DAS. Model simulasi seperti model Genriver dapat digunakan menilai kondisi saat ini serta memproyeksikan bagaimana dampak perubahan lahan dan iklim terhadap kondisi hidrologis DAS. Salah satu DAS penting di Jawa Barat adalah DAS Citarum Hulu sebagi bagian dari DAS Citarum yang telah ditetapkan sebagai salah satu DAS prioritas nasional. Kalibrasi model dan analisis sensitivitas menjadi bagian penting untuk mengetahui kelayakan suatu model hidrologi dalam mensimulasikan kondisi DAS, khususnya dalam mengestimasi neraca air di tingkat lansekap. Hasil kalibrasi model GenRiver dengan menggunakan data tahun 2012-2016 menunjukkan bahwa parameterisasi model telah berhasil dan model layak digunakan untuk analisa sensitivitas dan simulasi skenario. Hasil simulasi model, menunjukan bahwa secara rata-rata 37% curah hujan yang jatuh di DAS Citarum Hulu menjadi aliran permukaan (surface flow/run-off), 7% menjadi aliran bawah permukaan (sub-surface flow) dan 20% menjadi aliran dasar (baseflow). Analisa senssitivitas dilakukan dengan menyusun lima skenario tutupan lahan dan tiga skenario curah hujan yang dianggap mewakili berbagai kondisi yang mungkin termasuk kondisi ekstrim: yaitu keseluruhan lahan menjadi area terbuka (ekstrim negatif) dan seluruh lahan menjadi hutan (ekstrim positif). Hasil proyeksi simulasi ekstrim negatif menunjukan bahwa kondisi DAS Citarum Hulu yang terdegradasi dengan dominasi lahan terbuka berpotensi meningkatkan aliran permukaan hingga mencapai 70% dari curah hujan. Sedangkan perbaikan tutupan lahan DAS Citarum hulu dengan reforestasi (skenario ekstrim positif) mampu menurunkan aliran permukaan hingga mencapai 20% dari total curah hujan.
The Legacy of Trump’s Judicial Appointments
Authors: Varacalli Thomas F. X. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

It is too early to know if the judicial appointments of President Donald J. Trump will be an enduring legacy of his presidency because the Biden-Harris administration may have several opportunities to roll back his achievements. Still, Trump’s election in 2016 stymied the Left’s hope of a progressive Supreme Court. Trump has remodeled the Supreme Court into an originalist court. His Supreme Court appointments – Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett – have defended religious liberty claims repeatedly. Thus, if the Democrats are not able to pack the Court, Trump’s one-term presidency may have produced the most important cohort of judges in a generation.
Assessing Trump’s Legacy for Catholics
Authors: Barilleaux Ryan J. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

Donald Trump’s one-term presidency was significant for Catholics. Trump pursued policies that promoted the pro-life cause and helped to protect traditional marriage, human nature, and religious freedom. Trump’s judicial appointments were also important to supporting Catholic interests. At the same time, there were drawbacks to Trump’s presidency and his conduct of it. This article provides a preliminary assessment of Donald Trump’s presidency from a Catholic perspective.
The Verdict on the Founding
Authors: Grasso Kenneth L. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

Robert R. Reilly’s America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding argues that the intellectual roots of the founders’ political theory are found in the Christian understanding of man, society and the world, and in the tradition of natural law thinking that emerged under its aegis. The American founding, he concludes, must be understood as an attempted “re-establishment” of “the principles and practices” of medieval constitutionalism. While finding the broad outlines of Reilly’s argument persuasive, the author worries that Reilly does not adequately take into account the eclectic character of the founders’ thought, the influence of the Enlightenment and Reformation on it, and the long-term implications of the latter influences for the historical trajectory of public order they created. The contrast between Reilly’s understanding of the founding and John Courtney Murray’s more nuanced account (which recognizes the predominant influence of Christian natural law tradition on the American experiment, while acknowledging the presence of less wholesome influences as well), the article argues, underscores both the strengths and weaknesses of this book. While both Reilly and Murray would agree that the founding was “good,” Murray, unlike Reilly, recognizes that “the seeds of dissolution” were present from the beginning and worries whether it is ultimately “good enough” to sustain the American experiment in self-government and ordered liberty.
Reilly and the Republic in 2020
Authors: Wolfe Christopher James ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

Robert Reilly’s America on Trial presents a lengthy defense of the principles of the American Founding against recent critiques, especially focusing on those written from a Catholic perspective. His book finds a place in a larger discussion of American Catholic political thought that has been going on for more than a century. I first situate Reilly’s book within that debate, and then argue that Reilly’s account is correct on most counts. Some loose ends remain, but they can be dealt with by expanding some of the points that Reilly has already made. I think, though, that other points not even raised by Reilly’s critics will require further reflection by future American Catholic political thinkers. In 2020, the sensus communis in America has ceased to be “cool and deliberate,” a desideratum for the regime mentioned in Federalist 63; we need to figure out ways to make it cool again.
Time to Think of Voting as a Privilege
Authors: Krason Steven M. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

This was one of SCSS president Stephen M. Krason’s “Neither Left nor Right, but Catholic” columns that appeared in The Wanderer. In the wake of the controversy about the integrity and legitimacy of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, which was caused in significant part by changes in voting procedures to make it utterly easy to register and vote and even downplayed voter identification requirements. Krason argues that these changes have been precipitated by the ingraining of the view that voting should be understood as a right and if we think of voting not as a right but a privilege—and a corresponding duty, as a means to check a tendency to overreaching and corrupt government—such problems and abuses could be avoided.
Knowledge
Authors: Siegmund J. Marianne ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

Francis Bacon is known for equating knowledge and power. Today, one might interpret his idea of knowledge as an electronic club to manipulate others. In this essay, I examine one’s relation to knowledge in terms of a receptivity that might be described as service. Whether one actually treats another in harmony with relation to knowledge remains, of course, a matter of one’s free will. Nevertheless, at the level of being, the person is more fittingly described as a humble servant of the truth and of one another rather than as a domineering figure seeking to manipulate.
Catholic Dogma vs. Social Science Dogmatism
Authors: Sasse Grant M. , Harmon Thomas P. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

This article explores how social science literature views dogmatism and how the documents of the Catholic Church and her teachings are seldom regarded in the conceptualization of the human person, specifically focusing on the helping professions. This article examines dogmatism from a Catholic anthropological perspective and with a full appreciation for the Catholic intellectual tradition. It will be shown how through basic clinical skills, one can believe the teachings of the Church's Magisterium and still be an effective and ethical counselor. A distinction between beliefs and actions will be made, showing how relativism is not the only acceptable belief system for helping professionals.
Orestes Brownson For and Against America
Authors: Krom Michael P. ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

The compatibility, or lack thereof, between Catholicism and American citizenship is continually raised by Catholic political theorists. With each new political crisis we face as a nation, proponents and opponents trot out their arguments in an attempt to prove that Americanism continues to nourish, or poison, the Body of Christ. This argument has been raging for nearly 200 years, and today an important contributor to this conversation is often overlooked: Orestes Brownson. While in his magnum opus, The American Republic, he spoke eloquently of America’s providential and Catholic mission, in 1870 he confided in Isaac Hecker that he had lost all hope for America and saw her as a corrupting influence on the Church in America. In this essay I explore Brownson as for and against America, showing how his later book, Conversations: Liberalism and the Church, reveals a consistency between his apparently contradictory stances.
“Spirituals and Temporals”
Authors: Bersnak P. Bracy ,   Society of Catholic Social Scientists
Published: May 2021

While Orestes Brownson’s works are the object of renewed interest, his writings on the relationship between Church and polity have received little notice. Some attention has been given to Brownson’s analysis of these issues in America, but little has been given to his views on Church and polity in Europe and the West more broadly. This article considers Brownson’s analysis of the history of Church-state relations in Europe to examine how it shaped his view of Church-state relations in the U.S. It then put Brownson in dialogue with subsequent Catholic debates in America about those relations down to the present.
The Intimate Relationship of Life and Law in Aristotle's Politics
Authors: Brogan Walter ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2021

This essay argues that the fundamental premise of Aristotle’s political philosophy is that free citizens are those who rule and are ruled in turn. The virtuous community sustains a mean between these two dimensions of political life, and the decadent regime errs by excess or deficiency from this ideal. Aristotle sees the production and exercise of law as essential to preserve the continuity of the arrangements between citizens. In the production of law, the process of ruling together is best exemplified, and, at the same time, the citizens give themselves over to be ruled by the principles that have been laid down. Since living well is carried out in the realm of the political, we have to learn how to express our life in relationship to the whole that is shared with others. The life of law is achieved when the citizens become lawful.
The pseudodichotomous Dasya sylviae sp. nov. (Delesseriaceae, Ceramiales) from 60–90 m mesophotic reefs off Bermuda
Authors: Schneider Craig W. , Cassidy Margaret M. , Saunders Gary W.
Published: May 2021

The red alga Dasya sylviae C.W.Schneid., M.M.Cassidy & G.W.Saunders sp. nov. is described from mesophotic depths of 60–90 m off Bermuda. Genetic sequences (COI-5P, rbcL) and morphological characteristics show that this species is distinct from other known pseudodichotomous species of Dasya. Of ten current species in the genus reported from Bermuda, only three, D. collinsiana M.Howe, D. cryptica C.W.Schneid., Quach & C.E.Lane and D. punicea (Zanardini) Menegh., share the overall pattern of pseudodichotomous branching in their axes; however, key morphological features easily distinguish them from D. sylviae sp. nov. The species most similar in habit to D. sylviae sp. nov. is D. crouaniana J.Agardh (type locality West Indies), but it bears shorter pseudolateral branches, and broader and longer tetrasporangial stichidia than the new species. Unique among the species of Dasya, D. sylviae sp. nov. lacks post-sporangial cover cells in tetrasporangial stichidia.

La escuela chilena bajo la dictadura civil militar (1973-1980): la experiencia escolar en contexto autoritario
Authors: Perez Navarro Camila , Zurita Felipe
Published: May 2021

This paper presents the results of an investigation that aimed to describe and analyse the transformations in the educational experience of students and teachers based on the new regulations designed and implemented by the civil-military dictatorship in Chile between 1973 and 1980. Specifically, it deals with the initiatives that sought to control and monitor various actors in the educational system at different levels and to transform relevant aspects of school culture and reorient pedagogical practices in the school. In methodological terms, various primary documentary sources were analysed, such as circulars, official letters and decree-laws published by the Ministry of Education, newspapers, and magazines. We conclude that these actions were aimed at intervening educational establishments in three main areas: in daily school life, through the incorporation and intensification of new civic and religious rites; in the purification and ideologization of educational plans and programs, and in pedagogical practices, through a hierarchical approach to the relationship between teachers and students.

La relation de couple chez les mères filicides est-elle importante ?
Authors: Laporte Line , Poulin Bernard , Marleau Jacques D.
Published: May 2021

Les données sur le statut civil peuvent-elles ne pas être représentatives de la réalité conjugale des femmes filicides ? L’examen de la situation de cohabitation serait-il plus approprié de nos jours que les statuts généralement invoqués dans les écrits sur le sujet ? À partir d’un échantillon québécois constitué de 42 femmes filicides, plusieurs variables ont été comparées entre deux sous-groupes selon la présence ou non d’un conjoint cohabitant avec elles au moment du passage à l’acte. Quelques différences significatives ont été notées et nous ont permis une meilleure compréhension de certains aspects situationnels et dynamiques pour chacun des sous-groupes étudiés.
Repérage et évaluation de la littérature scientifique concernant le syndrome de la femme battue
Authors: Marleau Jacques D. , Beaudet Normand
Published: May 2021

Au cours des dernières décennies, plusieurs syndromes ont vu le jour, autant dans la littérature biomédicale et sociale que dans la littérature pseudo-scientifique. En particulier, le syndrome de la femme battue est régulièrement soulevée lors d’expertise en Cour dans plusieurs pays depuis quelques années. L’objectif de cette recherche est de repérer et d’évaluer la qualité scientifique d’articles traitant du syndrome de la femme battue afin de simuler une démarche valable et réaliste de recherche documentaire réalisée par un témoin expert. Trois banques de données ont été consultées : PsychINFO (1984-2002), Medline (1966-2002), et National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) (1972-2002).
