British Council as an Instrument of Public Diplomacy of Great Britain
Authors: Trofymenko Mykola
Published: November 2018

Public diplomacy of Great Britain is one of the most developed in the EU and in the world. The United Kingdom has developed an extremely efficient public diplomacy mechanism which includes BBC World Service (which due to its popularity boosts the reputation and the image of Great Britain), Chevening Scholarships (provides outstanding foreign students with opportunity to study in Great Britain and thus establishes long-lasting relations with public opinion leaders and foreign countries elite) and the British Council, which deals with international diplomatic ties in the field of culture. The British Council is a unique organization. Being technically independent, it actively and efficiently works on consolidating Great Britain’s interests in the world and contributes to the development of public diplomacy in Great Britain.  

The author studies the efforts of the British Council as a unique public diplomacy tool of the United Kingdom. Special attention is paid to the role of British Council, which is independent of the governing board and at the same time finds itself under the influence of the latter due to the peculiarities of the appointment of Board’s officials, financing etc.

The author concludes that the British Council is a unique organization established in 1934, which is a non-departmental state body, charitable organization and public corporation, technically independent of the government. The British Council, thanks to its commercial activities covers the lack of public funding caused by the policy of economy conducted by the government. It has good practices in this field worth paying attention by other countries. It is also worth mentioning that the increment in profit was getting higher last year, however the issue of increasing the influence of the government on the activities of British Council is still disputable. Although the Foreign Minister officially reports to the parliament on the activities of the British Council, approves the appointment of the leaders of organizations, the British Council preserves its independence of the government, which makes it more popular abroad, and makes positive influence on the world image of Great Britain. The efficiency of the British Council efforts on fulfillment of targets of the United Kingdom public diplomacy is unquestionable, no matter how it calls its activities: whether it is a cultural relations establishment or a cultural diplomacy implementation.

Democracy Promotion's Resistance in «Ukraine Crisis»: Whether Russian «Sovereign Authoritarianism» is Effective?
Authors: Motsok Vitalii
Published: November 2018

The articledeals withthe efforts of the Russian Federation, which is pushing the concept of “sovereign authoritarianism”,to resist democracy promotion under the conditions of “Ukraine Crisis”. The author emphasizes that the ideological component plays an important role for the global geopolitical fight. In particluar, ideological basis of geopolitical struggle for Ukraine has a significant influence and largely determines the course of confrontation between the main global players, namely: the collective West and Russia. Russian Federation has developed its own concept of the non-liberal regime and the mechanisms of its external projection as a way to counter the democracy promotion. By the end of 2017, Russia`s “sovereign authoritarianism” shows its sufficient effectiveness to contain democracy promotion efforts towards Ukraine under the conditions of the “Ukraine Crisis” and in the wider context of European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine.

Psychology of Religion
Authors: Karagodina O.
Published: November 2018

Psychology of religion as a branch of religious studies, in contrast to the philosophy and sociology of religion, focuses attention mainly on the problems of individual religiosity - the phenomena of religious experience, religious beliefs, mechanisms of the emergence and development of religious experience. The psychology of religion studies the experience of the supernatural person, the psychological roots of this experience and its significance for the subjective. Since a person is formed and operates in a society, the study of religious experience must include its social sources.

The epistemological moment of the search for the subject-object relationship in the formation of the religious experience of the individual
Authors: Kalmykov V. Yu.
Published: November 2018

Religious experience differs from the empirical experience of the subject by psychologicality, the transcendental vitality of understanding objective phenomena. The main criterion of a person's religious experience is his belief in the truth of the existing a priori and the interrelations of things and phenomena of the objective and subjective world revealed to him in personal experience. Faith is a sense of the interconnection between the subject and the object, which has an experienced transcendental character. Human experience in this respect acts as a factor in the disclosure of depth and effectiveness: a subject-object relationship accepted on faith: the disclosure of the meaning and directions of its development relative to the object of faith; as a set of acts of self-knowledge in the context of the existence of the object and, only thanks to the object of faith, brought into a whole, meaningful existence. Thus, the self-knowledge of a person depends, first of all, on the choice of an object of faith for him, as the meaning of his development.
"Evidence of the existence of God" in the language of philosophy
Authors: Dymcev V. P.
Published: November 2018

The history of "evidence of the existence of God" is closely intertwined with the history of classical philosophy. Most philosophers, beginning with Plato and ending with Hegel, were very careful about these ancient creatures of religious thought, and even if they destroyed them, like Kant, then immediately, in another form, they restored (Kant's famous "moral proof"). The proposed article is intended to emphasize this content of "philosophical" philosophy, expressed in a theological form, and to show that "proof of the existence of God" in the language of philosophy means certain logical arguments that, if properly processed, could constitute a philosophical speculative method.
New Age in the modern world: typology, some forms of manifestation
Authors: Skomorovskiy Yu. M.
Published: November 2018

New Age in religious literature is regarded as an integral eclectic concept that refers to a person's search for spirituality outside of known world religions in their confessional terms. Conditionally it includes non-religious groups and trends, Gnostic and metaphysical schools, non-confessional spiritual associations, groups and currents of the "alternative" way of life. From the sociological point of view, it can be attributed to the manifestation of deviations in the form of social anomalies. At the same time, for participants in this direction, their own values, knowledge, activities are seen as a gradual approximation to the norm, a model, in assessing the life of the main mass of society as pathological or nearpathological states that also have the chance to change when they realize their true nature. The description of these public phenomena through the concept of "New Age" is seen as an intermediate or transitional nature due to the presence of serious differences in both the vision of the world and their practical activities.
The error of the past in the development of psionics and the modern solution
Authors: Ambrouz A. , Hinkley F.
Published: November 2018

Psionics (psionics) is known in the West under the names of radiethesia (radiethesia) and radionics (Radionics) - Radethesia was germin, which was used to diagnose the disease with the help of a diagnostic tool (Black Box) or pendulum. Radionics was the word used to describe the diagnosis of disease states. None of the terms were adequate because the manipulation of subtle energies has long been the goal of magic and, relatively recently, has concerned the desire to develop psychic means or methods of surveillance from a distance. A lot of research in this direction was carried out in the former USSR, Czechoslovakia, and in America.

Orthodox monasteries in Ukraine from 1900-1917
Authors: Nadtoka Gennadiy
Published: November 2018

In the early twentieth century, monasteries remained an integral part of the Orthodox world in Ukraine. Being in the womb of the all-Russian church system, monasticism constantly felt the effect of organizational, political and spiritual unifying tendencies. At the same time, the external isolation of the monasteries from secular and even purely church life, and its own sources of replenishment of the monastic layer contributed to preserving the specificity of the further development of the monastic form of religious tradition in Ukraine.

"Golden Dawn" of the Kyiv Metropolis and the leading tendencies of confessionalization of the Ukrainian church-religious environment in the first half of the XVII century
Authors: Shkriblyak Mykola
Published: November 2018

Actualization of the study of the phenomenon of the "golden age" of the Kyiv Metropolis is due to many factors, the key place of which is the idea of ​​national-religious self-identification of Ukrainians at the present stage of state-building and development of the Ukrainian nation. This complex task is inextricably linked with the idea of ​​sovereignty and unity of the state, which is one of the important prerequisites for the proclamation of the autocephalous structure and territoriality of the church, and therefore requires not only theoretical substantiation but also the search for historical and title models of its realization, one of which is the idea Ukrainian Patriarchate as a Local Church. This idea, left to us by inheritance as a great devotee of faith and piety, is a church-religious and political figure, a scientist and theologian, the first-priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Peter Mogila, and still remains unrealized to this day.

Published: November 2018

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to understand the vaccination status and reasons for missed vaccination in the catchment of a tertiary private paediatric hospital in a densely populated area in urban Hyderabad. Study Design: This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey. Methods: Data regarding the vaccinations for all the vaccines included in the guidelines provided by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics were collected from eligible parents attending the outpatient department after informed consent. Results: Vaccination coverage was almost 90% with private health facilities being used by both timely and missed vaccine groups. Factors such as gender bias, large families, or low educational status were absent in both groups in this urban population unlike rural populations. Vaccines perceived by the parents as optional and booster doses were most often missed and an unwell child was the most common reason for the missed vaccines. Conclusion: Even in urban areas like our densely populated catchment, specified dates for next vaccine at each visit to the pediatrician will improve timely vaccination. Awareness also needs to be raised regarding the importance of what are perceived to be optional vaccines.
Risk factors for complicated appendicitis among pediatric population
Authors: Murthy Pramod Sreekanta , Panda Amrit Preetam
Published: November 2018

Context: Appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in children. In children, it is difficult to diagnose appendicitis due to atypical presentation. Various risk factors have been mentioned in literature leading to complicated appendicitis. Aims: Our study was to determine the risk factors for complicated appendicitis in children. Methodology: The children who underwent appendectomy with a clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis from 2015 to 2018 were studied retrospectively at Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Bengaluru. The pre-operative, operative, and post-operative data were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed and variables analyzed were age, sex, location of patient, duration of symptoms, total leukocyte count, and fecolith. Statistical Analysis Used: Categorical variables were analyzed by applying Chi-square test and continuous variables were analyzed by applying independent t-test. Results: A total of 220 children presented with appendicitis during the study period, of which 60 children had complicated appendicitis. Mean age of presentation was 10.38±2.84 years. On statistical analysis, patients having pain of duration >48 h (p=0.017), patients with leukocyte count >15000/mm3 (p<0.0001), and patients with fecolith (p=0.00075) were more likely to have complicated appendicitis. However, the age, rural location, and sex of the patient were not associated with complicated appendicitis. Conclusion: Appendicitis is a common cause of abdominal pain in children. High leukocyte count, delayed presentation, and appendicolith are possible markers of complicated appendicitis. Sex, rural location, and age did not have any association with complicated appendicitis.
Indirect evaluation method and parameters of blood pressure and its indexes in dogs
Authors: Dubova O. A. , Dubovyi A. A. , Feshchenko D. V.
Published: November 2018

The article presents the results of studies on the adaptation of the automatic tonometer Longevita BP–1305 with replaceable marking cuffs I(C1I) and C(C1C) for the oscillometric method of blood pressure measuring in dogs of different sizes. Reference indicators are defined. The proposed method is indirect and is based on the measurement of air pressure required to compress the artery and stop the blood flow in it. The initial recorded tone displays the maximum, or systolic, pressure (Sys). The process of stopping the registration of pulse tremors occurs at the time of restoration of the artery lumen and corresponds to the minimal, or diastolic, blood pressure (Dia). The use of the oscillometric method completely eliminates the human factor for the measurements. These cuffs allow to cover the whole range of the dogs circles subulnar zone of different breeds. The ratio of width to circumference is 42–45%, which is the optimal value. The cuff of the device was applied to the left forearm area. Measurements were carried out three times, calculating the arithmetic mean of the results to account for the error caused by the stress state of animals. Experienced dogs were in the usual lying position. All healthy animals were monitored for blood pressure in the morning (9–10 hours), afternoon (14–15 hours) and evening (19–20 hours). Under the influence of aggressive factors of excessive force, inadequate violent chaotic reactions of the body occur, which leads to a state of shock. Periodic measurement of mean blood pressure in combination with other routine studies can identify patients at risk of decompensation at the stage when resuscitation is still possible. Systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate were measured. The mean blood pressure and Allgover shock index were calculated. We did not find a significant difference in blood pressure depending on body weight. Also, these figures fluctuate unreliably during the day and are the largest in the morning with a tendency to decrease in the evening. We have established the reference values of blood pressure of clinically healthy dogs at the level of the narrowed norm (M ± σ), taking into account the permitted number of the studied animals (n = 120). The shock index of Allgover in healthy animals is in the range of 0.6–0.9. The growth of the indicator indicates an increase in shock phenomena.
Assessment of the Quality of Broiler Chicken Meat in case of Feeding the “Aquasan” Acidifier
Authors: Demchyschyn O. V. , Kuhtyn M. D. , Perkiy Yu. B.
Published: November 2018

The acidifying agents are being used more often as an alternative to fodder antibiotics in order to preserve bird’s stock and increase productivity. We created the new liquid acidifier “Aquasan” for broiler chickens on the basis of organic and inorganic acids. The application of various feed additives or drugs to the diet of chickens leads to changes in the chemical composition of meat. The purpose of the paper was to research the slaughter qualities and the chemical composition of broiler chicken meat in case of feeding the stock with the “Aquasan” acidifier. The research was conducted on three groups of chicken broilers of the breed Ross 308 – 50 heads in each group. The first group of chickens was the control one, the second group of chickens was given the acidifier analogue called “FEEDACID MAX L”, and the third group was given the new acidifier “Aquasan”. The process of feeding of 0.1% of the working acidifier solutions was performed from the 27th day of fattening within 10 days (27th–31st and 34th–38th day). The growing period lasted 43 days. The moisture content of meat was determined by the method of drying, the content of protein – by the Kjeldahl method, total fat – by the Soxhlet method, the ash content – by the charring method. It has been established that the use of the “Aquasan” acidifier contributed to the increase in the productivity of broilers, the live weight of chickens on the 43rd day of breeding increased by 1.1 times (Р ≤ 0.05), and the weight of a carcass by 1.2 times (Р ≤ 0.05), in particular, by 310 g and 350 g, respectively. Also, the use of the acidifier allowed increasing the livability of chicken stock by 6% (Р ≤ 0.001). The average yield of carcasses of broilers increased by 4.4% (Р ≤ 0.05), which is 2% more than the standard values for this breed of chickens called Ross 308. With the use of the “Aquasan” acidifier, an increased content of dry matter in the broiler meat by 1.5% (Р ≤ 0.05) was noted and, accordingly, a decrease in the same percentage of moisture in meat. The protein content of chicken meat on the 43rd day of breeding increased by 0.9% (Р ≤ 0.05), ash increased by 0.3% (Р ≤ 0.05), and the fat content decreased by 0.4% (Р ≤ 0.05). Similar changes in slaughter rates and chemical composition of chicken meat were also observed in case of feeding the acidifier analogue “FEEDACID MAX L”; the difference compared with the new “Aquasan” acidifier was insignificant. Consequently, the feeding of the liquid acidifier “Aquasan” to chicken broilers from the 27th day of their breeding does not lead to deterioration in the quality of the slaughter and the chemical composition of poultry meat.

Mycotoxins cause severe diseases in organisms of human and animals. They are difficult to diagnose, cause great economic damage. Sorbents are able to effectively bind and remove from the body through the digestive tract with a therapeutic or prophylactic purpose various endogenous and ekzogenous substances, microorganisms and they toxins, supermolecular structures and cells. The aim of the work is to study the effectiveness of use of Alfasorb for the neutralization of mixed fodders affected by mycotoxins and they impact on blood’s indexes and productive qualities of piglets of Large White Breed. Experience was conducted on 30 ty piglets. Animals of the control group received mixed feed that was produced in the conditions of the farm. The pigs of experimental group in addition to the basic diet received Alfasorb. We determined blood’s indexes for study the effect of feed additive Alfasorb on the physiological state of animals at 4 months of age. A morphological and histological study of liver was carried out. The analysis of the average daily weight gain of piglets showed that it was higher in period of growth in the animals of experimental group. In the animals of the experimental groups there was an increase in the number of red blood cells in comparison with the control. An unreliable decrease in blood serum levels which characterize the level of intermediate metabolism of proteins in the body (content of urea, creatinine and common bilirubin) was established in the animals of the experimental group as compared to the control group respectively by 22.83% ( td = 0.98, P ≤ 0.05), 7.12% (td = 1.92, P ≤ 0.05) and by 20.54% (td = 0.86, P ≤ 0.05). Most hepatocytes had large nucleus and intense color of the cytoplasm. This indicates the absence of alterative processes in the body. The results of the studies make it possible to assert that the inclusion the 0.2% Alfasorb to the compound of feed which contaminated with mycotoxins significantly reduces their negative effect on the piglets organism, has a positive effect on the growth rate, on the course of metabolic processes, also it promotes an increase in the liver of medium-sized hepatocyte nuclei, stimulates biosynthetic processes in that cells and ensures the formation of a full structure of histohematological barriers in the organism.

The multimodal CorpAGEst corpus: keeping an eye on pragmatic competence in later life
Authors: Bolly Catherine T. , Boutet Dominique
Published: November 2018

The CorpAGEst project aims to study the pragmatic competence of very old people (75 years old and more), by looking at their use of verbal and gestural pragmatic markers in real-world settings (versus laboratory conditions). More precisely, we hypothesise that identifying multimodal pragmatic patterns in language use, as produced by older adults at the gesture–speech interface, helps to better characterise language variation and communication abilities in later life. The underlying assumption is that discourse markers (e.g., tu sais ‘you know’) and pragmatic gestures (e.g., an exaggerated opening of the eyes) are relevant indicators of stance in discourse. This paper's objective is mainly methodological. It aims to demonstrate how the pragmatic profile of older adults can be established by analysing audio and video data. After a brief theoretical introduction, we describe the annotation protocol that has been developed to explore issues in multimodal pragmatics and ageing. Lastly, first results from a corpus-based study are given, showing how multimodal approaches can tackle important aspects of communicative abilities, at the crossroads of language and ageing research in linguistics.
How ‘chunky’ is language? Some estimates based on Sinclair's Idiom Principle
Authors: Nelson Robert
Published: November 2018

To some extent, we seem to use language in chunks – multiple words that are co-selected and used as gestalt units. By some estimates, these chunks constitute more than 50 percent of a given text ( Erman and Warren, 2000 ). The extent to which our communication is composed of these units has broad implications for linguistic theory, psycholinguistics and applied linguistics, and so is the focus of this study. This study shows that claims made regarding the nature of formulaic language ( Sinclair, 1991 ) lead to a method for the automatic detection of holistically used multi-word patterns in text corpora, which in turn allows for the estimation of the ‘chunkiness’ of linguistic corpora. These estimates may be useful for materials development in language teaching, as well as corpus linguistic and psycholinguistic studies.
Maximally Dusty Star-forming Galaxies: Supernova Dust Production and Recycling in Local Group and High-redshift Galaxies
Authors: Gall C. , Hjorth J.
Published: November 2018

Motivated by recent observations suggesting that core-collapse supernovae may on average produce ∼0.3 M
⊙ of dust, we explore a simple dust production scenario that applies to star-forming galaxies in the local environment (the Magellanic Clouds and possibly the Milky Way) as well as to high-redshift (submillimeter, QSO, Lyman-break) galaxies. We assume that the net dust destruction (due to supernova reverse shock, shocks in the interstellar medium, or astration) is negligible on a timescale of 1 Gyr, in which case the dust mass can be estimated as 0.004 times the star formation rate (for a Chabrier initial mass function) multiplied by the duration of the star formation episode. The model can account for observed dust masses over four orders of magnitude and across the redshift range 0–8.4, with dust production rates spanning five orders of magnitude. This suggests that star-forming galaxies may be seen as maximally dusty, in the sense that a dominant fraction of the dust-forming elements forged in a supernova eventually will go into the solid phase. In turn, this indicates little destruction of supernova dust or almost complete replenishment, on a short timescale, of any dust that is destroyed.

Observations have shown that the UV/optical variation amplitude of quasars depends on several physical parameters including luminosity, Eddington ratio, and possibly black hole mass. Identifying new factors which correlate with the variation is essential to probing the underlying physical processes. Combining around 10 years of quasar light curves from SDSS stripe 82 and X-ray data from Stripe 82X, we build a sample of X-ray-detected quasars to investigate the relation between UV/optical variation amplitude (

) and X-ray loudness. We find that quasars with more intense X-ray radiation (compared to bolometric luminosity) are more variable in the UV/optical. This correlation remains highly significant after excluding the effect of other parameters including luminosity, black hole mass, Eddington ratio, redshift, and rest frame wavelength (i.e., through partial correlation analyses). We further find that the intrinsic link between X-ray loudness and UV/optical variation is gradually more prominent on longer timescales (up to 10 yr in the observed frame), but tends to disappear at timescales <100 days. This suggests a slow and long-term underlying physical process. The X-ray reprocessing paradigm, in which the UV/optical variation is produced by variable central X-ray emission illuminating the accretion disk, is thus disfavored. This discovery points to an interesting scenario in which both the X-ray coronal heating and UV/optical variation in quasars are closely associated with magnetic disc turbulence, and the innermost disc turbulence (where coronal heating occurs) correlates with slow turbulence at larger radii (where UV/optical emission is produced).

X-ray emissions in protostars play an important role in the chemistry of protostellar disks and in constraining the physics of jet formation. We have experimentally investigated the mechanism of X-ray emission in protostellar jets and modeled their interaction with the surrounding medium. The simulated supersonic jet is generated by intense laser beams irradiating a K-shaped target and then impacts an obstacle. We have successfully observed X-ray emission from the obstacle surface, and we find that it comes from the outflow material and not completely from the ambient medium heated by shock.

O total de servidores identificados no órgão foi de 402 servidores, mas, foram realizados um total de 103 afastamentos por licença médica, os quais compuseram a análise. Foram levados em consideração somente os afastamentos por transtornos mentais e/ou comportamentais inclusos nos critérios diagnósticos da Classificação Internacional de Doenças, 10ª edição (CID-10). Os dados foram analisados por meio do pacote estatístico SPSS, versão 20.0. Realizou-se estatística descritiva, com identificação das frequências e médias para as variáveis sociodemográficas: idade, sexo, escolaridade, cargo e incidências nos afastamentos laborais.  RESULTADOS: Os transtornos mentais e comportamentais tiveram maior prevalência (30,38% dos afastamentos). Houve maior prevalência para o grupo 2 dos transtornos humor-afetivos (46,90%) e para o grupo 3 transtornos neuróticos, transtornos relacionados ao estresse e transtornos somatoformes (39,82%). Foi identificada maior incidência de afastamentos no sexo feminino, escolaridade de ensino superior, com maior tempo de serviço e com cargo de analista.CONCLUSÕES: Conclui-se que, de todas as licenças médicas concedidas aos servidores, os afastamentos por transtornos mentais e/ou comportamentais apresentaram a maior incidência no órgão estudado, reafirmando os dados encontrados na literatura brasileira. A maior prevalência por Classificação Internacional de Doenças, categoria Transtornos mentais e comportamentais (CID F), foi no sexo feminino, demonstrando a necessidade da realização de ações direcionadas para este assunto e público.

OBJETIVO: Analisar a relação da qualidade de vida com problemas de saúde mental (estresse, Síndrome de Burnout e depressão) em estudantes de medicina de uma faculdade do interior do Nordeste.MÉTODOS: Estudo de caráter transversal, analítico, com abordagem quantitativa, tendo como local de estudo a cidade de Patos na Paraíba. A amostra final foi composta por 138 alunos do curso de medicina das Faculdades Integradas de Patos (FIP), sendo adotada uma amostra constituída por 77% do universo de pesquisa, conforme critérios de inclusão e exclusão do estudo. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se instrumentos validados para mensurar qualidade de vida, Síndrome de Burnout, estresse e depressão. As análises dos dados seguiram os critérios estabelecidos em cada um dos artigos de validação.RESULTADOS: A qualidade de vida apresentou correlação negativa com a exaustão emocional (ρ=-0,29; p<0,05), com a descrença (ρ=-0,31; p<0,05), com a depressão (ρ=-0,29; p<0,05) e com as fases do estresse; enquanto se correlacionou positivamente com eficácia profissional (ρ=0,19; p<0,05). Quanto aos domínios da Síndrome de Burnout (exaustão emocional e descrença) observou-se correlação positiva com as fases do estresse. Por fim, os efeitos da depressão na qualidade de vida dos estudantes se sobrepuseram aos demais problemas de saúde mental, possivelmente em função da multicolinearidade (ρ=-2,70; p<0,05).CONCLUSÕES: Os estudantes de medicina apresentam diversos problemas de saúde mental que interferem na qualidade de vida, comprometendo desempenho acadêmico, desenvolvimento de habilidades e cuidados com os pacientes.

Published: November 2018

Les parents sont maintenant considérés comme un partenaire incontournable du soin pédiatrique hospitalier. Cela n’a pas toujours été le cas. Les hôpitaux d’enfants leur ont longtemps été fermés. Leur présence continue auprès de leur enfant constitue un réel changement de paradigme, soutenu par la réflexion des professionnels – ce qui n’exclut pas les résistances – et le mouvement des droits de l’enfant. Leur place n’est pas de se substituer aux soignants ou de se placer en compétition. La qualité de leur accueil dépend du rôle que les professionnels se reconnaissent : soutenir la parentalité, accompagner les divers mouvements psychiques des parents face à leur enfant souffrant, leur permettre aussi de se reposer le cas échéant. Permettre aux parents d’occuper leur juste place est une dynamique en réinvention perpétuelle.
