MICROFICÇÃO EM AMÉRICA-LATINA: UM PANORAMA
Authors: Espitia Alonso Jeimy
Published: December 2018

Neste artigo procura-se indagar sobre os traços e seguir o rastro que algumas formas breves tem deixado na literatura latino-americana numa tentativa de definição, especialmente no sul da América hispana. Tal percurso é feito a partir de alguns escritores e críticos, principalmente hispano-americanos que durante o século XX e entrado o XXI, acolhem e exploram as formas breves, mas que até agora não encontraram um lugar autónomo na teoria literária. Assim aparecem denominações várias, tais como: micro-ficção, micro-conto ou micro-relato. Estas expressões breves parecem adquirirem uma relação significativa com o território, vinculadas a escritores representativos da região, tanto na criação literária quanto na crítica. Uma das particularidades e potencialidade destas escritas literárias é ser espaços mediadores e geradores de questões e reflexões sobre a linguagem; o autor, a criação literária e o texto, que em outras formas canónicas consideram-se vetadas ou superadas.
O DUPLO EM CORTÁZAR: O CASO DO CONTO “DESPUÉS DEL ALMUERZO”
Authors: Rodrigues Manoela da Silva , Celedón Esteban Reyes
Published: December 2018

Em 1846, antes do surgimento da psicanálise, o jovem romancista russo Fiódor Dostoiévski (1821-1881), escreveu uma pequena novela, O Duplo (Двойник. Петербургская поэма, 1846), que abordava o conflito da personalidade de Goliadkin, funcionário público, que tenta se destacar dos demais, desempenhando com perfeições suas tarefas, mas é derrotado por ele mesmo, ou melhor, pelo seu duplo. Neste sentido, em 1964, o escritor argentino Julio Cortázar (1914-1984), no conto Después del Almuerzo, aborda a mesma temática, mas narrado por um jovem pré-adolescente. Numa primeira leitura, não sabemos ao certo de quem ou de que se trata; o que leva o leitor a imaginar que possa ser: um cachorro, um irmão com debilidades ou, até mesmo, um espírito. Neste conto se colocam noções de responsabilidade e culpa existentes da pré-adolescecia, que tenta contrapor essa fase, sua vontade de se livrar deste ser a quem tem que acompanhar em seu passeio por ruas de Buenos Aires. Esta fase narrada coloca o duelo entre o jovem e este ser que tem suas vontades próprias de livramento em forma de culpa, querendo ser natural e humano, hora criança e hora querendo se tornar adulto, deixa claro que o duplo existe a todo instante, dentro e fora de si. O corpo exterior deste pré-adolescente pode aparentar maturidade, porém o ser interior reluta com a consciência da infância; este ser não acompanha o exterior e vise versa. Neste trabalho analisaremos este duelo interior do protagonista, do ponto de vista da estética literária (herdeira da obra de Dostoiévski).

Characteristics of people in coastal area are taught and open mind like sea which is analog to open access and high risk. They inherit knowledge from their ancestors who refered to stars constelation as guide, besides other traditional technologies. There are four research questions: (1) How are technologies inherited to young generations? (2) Are the developing fish technologies accepted? (3) What are governments’, scholars’, and NGO’s roles? and (4) How is people’s responds towards modern technologies? Meanwhile, this research wants: (1) To know inheritance technologies, (2) To understand acceptability level, (3) To explore the roles’ of governments, NGOs, and scholars, and (4) To recognize people’s respond toward technologies. Fisheries commodities have comparative advance, although they are perishable food that need quick, accurate, and right treatment. The research was conducted in Larantuka Sub-district of East Flores. Observation and interview were data collection methods applied in this research. Data were analysed using SWOT analysis. It is concluded that traditional technologies are useful to preserve local culture and wisdom. The role of government through local development agents, NGOs, and scholars via trainning has not applicable yet for the community in the wide area and has limitations of man power.

Published: December 2018

Marketing employees as the heart of the company have a duty to achieve good performance, work targets must be fulfilled in an effort to contribute to the company's performance. Gender differences in the domestic role of families with work and emotional differences in gender can provide benefits in the recruitment process and the job description of marketing employees. This study aims to determine differences between female employees and male employees in the role of work conflict and to know the differences between female employees and male employees in emotional work and performance as marketing employees of pharmaceutical companies. The sample of all marketing staffs of Takeda Indonesia Pharmaceutical Company in Central Java is 16 people. Primary data collection was done by a questionnaire. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method. The analysis of data uses an ANOVA analysis. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used because there are two independent variables with combinations scales, namely interval and nominal (gender), while the dependent variable is interval scale. The results of this research showed that the roles of conflict and performance have no differences between male employees and female employees. For emotional intelligence, there are differences between male employees and female employees. The significant differences mean that there are a real differences between male employees and female employees in their emotional intelligence. Self-control and self-motivation as a form of emotional intelligence showed differences between male marketing employees and female marketing employees.
At the intersection of text and conversation analysis: analysing asynchronous online written interaction
Authors: Virtanen Mikko T. , Kääntä Liisa
Published: December 2018

This paper demonstrates how two approaches from discourse studies – digital Conversation Analysis (CA) and Textual Interaction Studies (TIS) – can be used in tandem to analyse asynchronous written conversation. The main motivation for this mixed-methods approach is our observation that interaction in many asynchronous platforms, such as blogs and discussion forums, tends to be located somewhere in between the main focuses of digital CA and TIS. On the one hand, the posts in these platforms are often textually complex, multiparagraph entities. Furthermore, the opening posts usually address an imagined audience similarly to mass media texts. On the other hand, interaction within the conversation threads unfolds through the co-operation of at least two participants, and the meaning of each contribution is jointly negotiated by the participants. Our paper illustrates the benefits of combining digital CA and TIS by presenting a case analysis of one conversation thread from a Finnish book club blog.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in perinatal asphyxia
Authors: Gopal Girish
Published: December 2018

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of perinatal asphyxia, occurring in upto 56% of these neonates. It is important to recognize AKI in asphyxiated neonates to facilitate administration of appropriate fluids and electrolytes in order to improve their outcome. Objectives: To determine the incidence of AKI in asphyxiated neonates and to correlate the severity and type of AKI with Apgar score and severity of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods: 75 neonates were enrolled – 50 asphyxiated and 25 healthy neonates. Renal functions were assessed using urine output, urine microscopy, biochemical parameters and sonography. The values obtained were correlated with the severity of HIE. Neonates with AKI were managed as per unit protocol. Results: Of the 50 asphyxiated neonates, 32 (64%) had AKI: 25 (78.12 %) neonates with pre-renal AKI and the remaining 7 (21.88 %) with intrinsic AKI. Out of the 32 asphyxiated neonates with AKI, 12 (37.5%) had oliguric AKI, while the remaining 20 (62.5%) had non-oliguric AKI. Levels of blood urea and serum creatinine were significantly higher in asphyxiated neonates as compared to healthy controls (p 0.001). Biochemical derangements correlated well with the severity of HIE and Apgar scores. Serum sodium and creatinine clearance showed significantly different values in asphyxiated babies compared to controls. There was no significant difference in the urine ouput in the control and study group. Sonographic abnormalities were seen most often in oliguric babies, and indicated bad prognosis. Mortality was higher in babies with oliguric AKI. Conclusions: Perinatal asphyxia is an important cause of neonatal AKI. Majority of the babies had non-oliguric AKI and responded well to fluid challenge. Abnormalities in the renal function correlates well with the severity of HIE. Intrinsic AKI, oliguria, hyponatremia, reduced creatinine clearance and abnormal sonographic scan suggest bad prognosis in neonatal AKI secondary to perinatal asphyxia.

Published: December 2018

The study was conducted at the three Municipalities of Cotabato province Southern Philippines between January to May 2011. The study aimed at determining the Carbon budget of the different age rubber plantation through field sampling and modeling. Actual field measurement of dbh, were done for the estimation of above-below ground biomass. The major carbon pools, such as above-ground biomass, below-ground biomass, litter and understory vegetation were added and multiplied with 45% default value by IPCC to obtained the carbon density in Mt/ha. The total estimated biomass of the rubber plantation in Antipas were 103.91Mt/ha (10 years) and 573.21Mt/ha (20 years) with carbon density of 46.79Mt/ha and 257.95mt/ha respectively. For the Arakan plantation, the following were revealed in the estimation: (a). the 40 year plantation has total biomass of 1041.54Mt/ha biomass (468.69Mt/ha C), (b). the 11 year plantation has 158.79Mt/ha biomass (71.46Mt/ha C), (c). the 35 year plantation has total biomass of 246.23Mt/ha (110.8Mt/ha Carbon density), and (d). the 12 year plantation has 355.60Mt/ha biomass (160.02Mt/ha C). In Matalam Cotabato, the two different age rubber plantations has an estimated biomass density of 149.47Mt/ha in 8 years with 67.26 Mt/ha C and 70.82Mt/ha biomass density for the 6 year old plantation with 31.87 Mt/ha C.The soil organic carbons found in each plantation were: Antipas; 100.25t/ha (10 years) and 203.54t/ha (20 years), Arakan; 202.55t/ha (40 years), 142.67t/ha (11 years), 86.1t/ha (35 years) and 129.53t/ha (12 years), Matalam; 53.32t/ha (8 years) and 62.04t/ha in the 6 year plantation. T-test reveals significant differences of the biomass and carbon density of the rubber plantation with respect to age range (6-12 years and 20-40 years). This implies that biomass production and carbon storage potentials of rubber plantation is very much dependent on plantation age. Pearson regressioncorrelation analysis of the carbon density of each plantation with carbon pools found to be highly significant.

Authors: Ansari M. M. , Khan N. A.
Published: December 2018

With an increased incidence of drug toxicity and resistance to allopathic drugs, plant drug formulations could be an interesting alternative. Some plant drugs and phytochemicals are known to be anti-inflammatory properties, and can be of great significance in treatment of inflammatory disorders. These considerations require the scientific evaluation of the most important and commonly used traditional herbal formulations. A study has been done to find anti-inflammatory activity of Qurs-e-Mafasil Jadeed containing Colchicun luteum, Curcuma longa and gum of Acacia Arabica. In this proposed work 2 % aqueous suspension of qurs/tablet powder in gum acacia was used to determine its anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenin induced oedema test and cotton pellet induced granuloma test. Efficacy of this Unani formulation was compared with standard referent drug, Diclofenac sodium. The obtained results using carrageenin oedema test showed decrease in left hind paw volume significantly after 3 hours of carrageenin injection. In cotton pellet induced granuloma test, animals in all the test and standard drug tested groups, shows reduction in granuloma formation significantly. Thus, our results clearly indicate that this test formulation possesses significant anti-inflammatory activity in both acute and sub-acute phase.

Published: December 2018

Natural products particularly of plant origin with antistress property and nutraceutical value have become the focus of scores of scientific investigation in recent times. Against this background the present study was carried out to analyse the phytochemical components and adaptogenic activity of Rhododendron arboreum which grow in high altitudes. Adaptogenic activity of the plant extract was evaluated in vivo in rat and mice animal models. Methanol, hydroethanol and aqueous extract of the leaves were prepared and preliminary screening of the phytochemical constiteunts was carried out. The important phytoconstituents viz. flavonoids and phenolics were estimated and amount of gallic acid and quercetin were evaluated by HPTLC. Adaptogenic activity of the extract was studied in vivo using rat and mice as test animals. The criteria taken were forced swimming test in rat and mice and tail suspension test in mice. Methanol extract showed the presence of diterpenes, triterpenes, flavonoids, steroids, tannin, phenolics. Hydroethanol extract showed the presence of diterpenes, triterpenes, saponin, glycosides, alkaloids, tannin and aqueous extract showed the presence of tannin, glycosides, triterpenes, flavonoids, diterpenes. Quantitative analysis exhibited that the methanol extract have the highest amount of flavonoid and phenolics. The HPTLC profile of methanol extract showed the presence of highest amount of quercetin. Gallic acid was detected only in methanol extract. In vivo study in test animals revealed that the methanol extract of R. arboreum exhibited potent anti stress activity. Hence, presence of these compounds which are known to have strong anti-oxidant activity in high quantity might be responsible for adaptogenic activity.

The widening political divide over science
Authors: Cohen Philip N.
Published: December 2018

Gauchat (2012) reported that political conservatives in the United States lost confidence in the scientific community from the 1970s to 2010, but political liberals and moderates did not. As a result, a political divide opened up so that by 2010 conservatives had the lowest level of confidence in science. This analysis extends the trends through the 2018 General Social Survey (GSS). I find that political conservatives, Republicans, and Americans who attend religious services regularly, all report falling levels of confidence in the scientific community. Further, for the period 2012-2018, educational attainment, for conservatives, is not associated with increased levels of confidence in science, except at the graduate degree level (and even there confidence is lower among conservatives). In the Trump era, with an assault on facts and truth defining the president and his party, the growing political divide over confidence in science seems likely to further undermine political processes that rely on common knowledge and understanding. This updates the original 2018 version of this paper with the 2018 GSS data.

Authors: Kramar V.G.
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this work is to determine the duration of the ambient air temperatures of different gradations during heating periods in different regions of Ukraine, based on the climatic data for 2005-2018 and the construction of load duration curves for the respective regions. The load duration curve (Rossander graph) is used to determine the number of maximum thermal load using hours, as well as in cases where the thermal load is provided by several sources - to determine their level of participation in the total annual heat energy production. It is important for a more accurate technical and economic evaluation of implementation results for some thermal energy sources. The climatic data of meteorological stations located in the regional centers of Ukraine and the capital of Autonomous Republic of Crimea, or as close as possible to them, were used for the study. The climatic data of heating periods from the autumn of 2005 to 2018 were considered. As the result of study, the duration of various degrees of ambient air temperature in the heating period was determined for all the regional centers of Ukraine. Taking into account the significant climatic differences in the regions of Ukraine, the results were analyzed separately for two groups of regions, for which, according to averaged data, load duration curves were determined. The examples of using of obtained results for calculations are given. On the basis of obtained data regarding duration of ambient temperatures higher than +8°C during the heating season, the energy saving potential of implementation of weather-dependent regulation of heat energy production for heating purposes in different regions was theoretically estimated, which is, on average, 8.4% for the first temperature zone (north, center) and 13% for the second zone (south).

The Success of Dental Veneers According To Preparation Design and Material Type
Authors: Alothman Yousef , Bamasoud Maryam Saleh
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND: Due to their high aesthetic outcome and long-term predictability, laminate veneers have become a common restorative procedure for anterior teeth. However, because of the variety in the preparation designs and the material types, the clinician faces a dilemma of which approach to use.
AIM: To compare the survival rate of dental veneers according to different preparation designs and different material types. The sub-aim is to reach a favourable preparation design and material based on scientific evidence.
METHODS: Comprehensive electronic search of the dental literature via PUBMED, MEDLINE and Scopus databases was performed using the following keywords: “porcelain veneers”, “composite veneers”, “all-ceramic veneers”, “success of porcelain veneers”, “preparation design”, “preparation geometry”, “patient’s satisfaction”. Additionally, references from the selected studies and reviews were searched for more information.
RESULTS: Under the limitations of the available literature, the clinician preference is the decisive factor for choosing the preparation design. Nonetheless, incisal overlap preparation seems to have the most predictable outcome from all the preparation designs.
CONCLUSION: Porcelain veneers show excellent aesthetic results and predictable longevity of the treatment, while composite veneers can be considered as a good conservative option, but with less durability.

Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND: The nucleotide changes in different genetic loci increased the incidence risk of breast cancer.
AIM: The aim of present study was to investigate genotype distribution at codon 72 of the TP53 gene (rs1042522) in breast cancer patients to achieve a potential diagnostic marker related to some demographic feathers.
METHODS: In our case-control study, blood samples were collected from a total of 34 patients harboured breast cancer. DNA was extracted, and nested-PCR was performed. Products were digested with AccII and subsequently were sequenced. Results were compared with samples characteristics.
RESULTS: The PCR results indicated the correct implementation of extraction and amplification protocol. The genotypic distribution at codon 72 of TP53 in control group was 20%, 62.4% and 16.6% for Arg (wildtype), Arg/Pro (heterozygous) and Pro (homozygous variant) respectively. Also, this distribution in the patient group was 23.52% homozygous, 50% heterozygous, and 26.47% another homozygous variant (Adjusted odds ratio: 1.12 and 95%CI = 0.57 to 2.2, P = 0.03). The absence of Arg at codon 72 of TP53 is relevant with age higher than 40 years and metastasis to other organs.
CONCLUSION: Polymorphism at codon 72 of TP53 was associated with high-grades of breast cancer risk and different responses to chemotherapy treatment. It is recommended genotype distribution of codon 72 of TP53 before chemotherapy.

Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND: Research on risk assessment at industrial sites has experienced growth during the end of this year. But in Indonesia, there is still limited research on risk assessment, especially regarding the importance of measuring non-carcinogenic risk assessment in the workplace. Benzene exposure is believed to reduce levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in workers.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between risk quotient (RQ) of non-carcinogenic risk assessment of benzene and demographic factors on IgA levels.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The subjects of the study were shoe craftsmen who were at risk of benzene exposure. The study design was cross-sectional with a total population of 20 workers. Measurement of IgA levels by Immunoturbidimetric Assay with a normal standard of 2-3 mg/ml. Calculation of non-carcinogenic (RQ) risk characteristics with a comparison between risk agent non-carcinogenic intake with RfD or RfC benzene.
RESULTS: The majority of the study subjects aged over 45 years and had a working period of ≥ 25 years. There were 2 location points that had a threshold value exceeding the benzene standard (> 0.05 ppm), and 40% of the subjects had decreased IgA levels. Age and working periods had a significant relationship to IgA levels (p = 0.027; p = 0.047), while benzene and RQ levels did not have a significant relationship with IgA levels (p = 0.179; p = 0.436).
CONCLUSION: Increasing age and working period can reduce IgA levels in the body. Further research is needed on risk assessment, especially on the safe limits of benzene concentration in the workplace to find out how long benzene exposure forms a non-carcinogenic or carcinogenic risk in workers' bodies exposed to benzene.

Objective.

Given the complexity and heterogeneity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), high-performing classification criteria are critical to advancing research and clinical care. A collaborative effort by the European League Against Rheumatism and the American College of Rheumatology was undertaken to generate candidate criteria, and then to reduce them to a smaller set. The objective of the current study was to select a set of criteria that maximizes the likelihood of accurate classification of SLE, particularly early disease.

Methods.

An independent panel of international SLE experts and the SLE classification criteria steering committee (conducting SLE research in Canada, Mexico, United States, Austria, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, and Spain) ranked 43 candidate criteria. A consensus meeting using nominal group technique (NGT) was conducted to reduce the list of criteria for consideration.

Results.

The expert panel NGT exercise reduced the candidate criteria for SLE classification from 43 to 21. The panel distinguished potential “entry criteria,” which would be required for classification, from potential “additive criteria.” Potential entry criteria were antinuclear antibody (ANA) ≥ 1:80 (HEp-2 immunofluorescence), and low C3 and/or low C4. The use of low complement as an entry criterion was considered potentially useful in cases with negative ANA. Potential additive criteria included lupus nephritis by renal biopsy, autoantibodies, cytopenias, acute and chronic cutaneous lupus, alopecia, arthritis, serositis, oral mucosal lesions, central nervous system manifestations, and fever.

Conclusion.

The NGT exercise resulted in 21 candidate SLE classification criteria. The next phases of SLE classification criteria development will require refinement of criteria definitions, evaluation of the ability to cluster criteria into domains, and evaluation of weighting of criteria.
Enseigner la lecture dans une classe plurilingue et défavorisée
Authors: Miguel-Addisu Véronique , Maire-Sandoz Marie-Odile
Published: December 2018

Cette étude traite d’enseignement de la lecture dans une classe ordinaire où tous les élèves sont plurilingues et de familles socialement défavorisées (corpus Lire-Ecrire en CP ). Le maitre témoigne d’une longue expérience antérieure en classe d’accueil pour enfants allophones nouvellement arrivés en France ; il est efficace en particulier pour ses élèves les plus faibles. Selon une approche qualitative intersubjective (auto-confrontation et analyse croisée de corpus vidéo), nous relevons des gestes professionnels susceptibles de soutenir l’entrée dans la lecture en français pour ces élèves plurilingues de première année de primaire. Le maitre adapte son enseignement lorsqu’il s’agit de décodage. Mais en compréhension, il applique des scripts connus en didactique du français sans s’appuyer sur la diversité des élèves comme ressource ; il acculture à l’écrit presque à son insu. Malgré sa longue expérience en classe d’accueil, il ne s’autorise pas à développer explicitement une éducation au plurilinguisme. Ici le plurilinguisme n’est pas considéré comme une ressource potentielle et pourtant certains de ses gestes sont efficaces pour les plus faibles.
Le statut du livre jeunesse dans les recherches sur la lecture : quelle place dans les revues au xxi e siècle ?
Authors: Petitjean Anne-Marie
Published: December 2018

Dans l’optique d’un panorama des publications accessibles au lectorat des enseignants et des chercheurs en matière d’enseignement de la lecture, cette étude examine quelle part revient au livre jeunesse dans la littérature didactique sur l’enseignement-apprentissage de la lecture, à travers la mention explicite d’ouvrages. Le relevé des articles concerne trois revues ( Carrefours de l’éducation , Le français aujourd’hui et Repères ) entre 2001 et 2017. L’examen des articles retenus est mis en corrélation avec un premier tableau du développement de la recherche en littérature de jeunesse, permettant d’interroger l’incidence sur le champ didactique de facteurs croisés, pédagogiques mais aussi institutionnels et éditoriaux, ainsi que du rôle joué par les différents partenaires du livre jeunesse pour la promotion de la lecture. Les résultats permettent de conclure au traitement différent du livre jeunesse selon les revues, leur discipline d’origine et leurs enjeux scientifiques. Ils ne confortent pas l’idée d’un effacement contemporain des problématiques liées au livre, selon une périodisation qui serait dépendante des programmes scolaires de l’élémentaire.
Étude longitudinale du développement de la lecture chez des élèves présentant une déficience intellectuelle en dispositif Ulis
Authors: Guihard-Lepetit Sylviane
Published: December 2018

Pour décrire la dynamique de développement de la lecture chez les élèves présentant une déficience intellectuelle (DI) sans étiologie précise, notre étude longitudinale sur trois années scolaires compare des séquences développementales de la lecture obtenues par analyse hiérarchique (Matalon, 1965) de 20 élèves présentant une DI bénéficiant du dispositif Ulis (Unité localisée pour l’inclusion scolaire) en école élémentaire et de 30 élèves de grande section maternelle. Ces séquences composées d’indicateurs et de prédicteurs de développement de la lecture (Ecalle et Magnan, 2015 ; Sermier Dessemontet & Chambrier, 2015) montrent des similitudes sur la connaissance du nom des lettres précoce. Mais chez les élèves présentant une DI, elle serait un prérequis de la connaissance de leur son. Ceux-ci se démarquent également par l’ordre de développement des compétences phonologiques.
De prédicteur à remédiateur : effet d’un entraînement en conscience phonologique chez des élèves de cycle 3 en difficulté de lecture
Authors: Briquet-Duhazé Sophie , Rezrazi Amine
Published: December 2018

La conscience phonologique est la connaissance consciente que les mots du langage oral sont composés d’unités plus petites (syllabes, rimes, phonèmes). C’est un prédicteur en fin de maternelle d’un apprentissage réussi de la lecture au CP (The National Early Literacy Panel, 2008). Il s’agit ici de le transposer en remédiateur des difficultés en fin de scolarité élémentaire. L’objet de cet article est d’analyser les résultats de l’entraînement en conscience phonologique durant trois ans auprès d’élèves de cycle 3 en difficulté scolarisés majoritairement en éducation prioritaire. Notre échantillon se compose de 300 élèves répartis en un groupe témoin (65) et un groupe expérimental (235), lui-même subdivisé en deux : l’un suit un entraînement en conscience phonologique et connaissance du nom des lettres (110 élèves) tandis que l’autre suit uniquement un entraînement en conscience phonologique (125 élèves). Nous présenterons l’analyse statistique des résultats mettant en évidence l’effet de l’entraînement en conscience phonologique entre le CE2 et le CM2.
Identifier et organiser des idées principales en 6 e année du primaire
Authors: Turcotte Catherine , Godbout Marie-Julie
Published: December 2018

Au Québec, de nombreux élèves de 6 e année (11-12 ans) éprouvent des difficultés à comprendre et à rédiger des textes. Cet article a pour objectif de décrire les habiletés d’élèves de 6 e année (n=80) en ce qui a trait à la compréhension et à la production d’idées principales contenues dans des paragraphes de type informatif. De plus, ces habiletés sont comparées avec celles d’élèves de 4 e année (n=66), afin d’examiner s’il existe ou non une différence entre les performances d’élèves venant de ces différents degrés scolaires. Les données issues d’un court test à choix multiples sur l’identification des idées principales, puis d’une tâche d’écriture, ont permis de constater que ces élèves manifestaient certaines habiletés relatives aux idées principales en lecture et en écriture, sans toutefois indiquer de différences entre les degrés scolaires. Enfin, à la lumière de ces données, un enseignement plus spécifique ciblant la compréhension et l’organisation des idées principales, en lecture et en écriture, est suggéré auprès de cette population.
La fluidité en lecture au service de la compréhension chez des lecteurs de 4 e année du primaire (CM1)
Authors: Bessette Lyne , Dubé France , Ouellet Chantal
Published: December 2018

Dans le but de soutenir les enseignants dans leur pratique professionnelle, la recherche portant sur la lecture tient un rôle important étant donné qu’elle met en lumière des éléments théoriques nécessaires au développement de l’acte de lire. Dans le cadre d’une recherche, une orthopédagogue-doctorante en questionnement face aux difficultés sans cesse grandissantes, plus particulièrement en fluidité de lecture, a élaboré et mis en place un programme d’activités pédagogiques visant à venir en aide aux élèves en classe ordinaire. Ce programme d’activités pédagogiques est appliqué aux trois paliers du modèle RAI (Réponse à l’intervention). Lors de l’expérimentation, 54 élèves de la 4e année du primaire ont bénéficié d’enseignement ciblé en lecture ainsi qu’en compréhension de lecture, d’octobre à mai d’une même année scolaire. Les élèves identifiés à risque lors du dépistage ont également bénéficié d’un suivi orthopédagogique en contexte de sous-groupe. Les données recueillies portent sur les effets du programme sur le développement de la fluidité et de la compréhension de lecture. Les résultats obtenus ont été comparés à des groupes témoins. Les résultats obtenus indiquent que les élèves ayant bénéficié du programme d’activités pédagogiques, soit le groupe expérimental, ont fait des gains plus importants comparativement au groupe témoin du même niveau scolaire.
L’apprentissage coopératif en « groupe d’experts » et la professionnalisation des futurs enseignants : un exemple en éducation physique et sportive
Authors: Escalié Guillaume , Legrain Pascal , Lafont Lucile
Published: December 2018

Les dispositifs coopératifs de formation visent à favoriser l’acquisition d’habiletés et de connaissances pour mieux pouvoir s’en servir pour instruire. Cette recherche étudie l’un de ces dispositifs dans le cadre de l’acquisition de compétences préprofessionnelles chez des étudiants se destinant à l’enseignement de l’EPS. L’étude menée auprès 73 étudiants de 3 e année STAPS dans un cycle d’initiation de savate boxe française examine, à partir de données quantitatives et qualitatives, l’influence d’un dispositif en « groupe d’experts » sur les perceptions d’auto-efficacité à enseigner ainsi que l’activité des étudiants dans les différentes étapes du dispositif. Les résultats mettent en évidence un effet significatif de la pratique en groupe d’experts sur la perception d’auto-efficacité à enseigner l’activité sportive. Les données qualitatives révèlent que l’expérience pratique vécue dans les ateliers d’expertise tend à constituer une des principales sources d’information permettant à l’étudiant de structurer son intervention lors de la phase d’instruction. Ces résultats ouvrent des perspectives en termes d’ingénierie de formation des étudiants se destinant aux métiers de l’enseignement.
Former à la prise de risque dans les écoles de cirque : une étude exploratoire
Authors: Grosstephan Vincent
Published: December 2018

L’article présente l’étape exploratoire d’une recherche étudiant la formation d’étudiants d’écoles de cirque professionnelles à la gestion du couple risque/sécurité. Il aborde un objet peu étudié par la recherche en cirque : l’activité du formateur. L’objectif est d’une part d’identifier les questions pertinentes de recherche pour le milieu professionnel et d’autre part de proposer des hypothèses ancrées et un projet méthodologique permettant de répondre à ces questions. Nous nous appuyons pour cela sur différents types de données dont le corpus principal est constitué d’observations et d’entretiens d’auto-confrontations portant sur 28 séances d’enseignement du cirque dans 15 écoles en Europe. Les données brutes font l’objet d’une analyse qualitative inductive permettant d’identifier quatre grandes thématiques recouvrant les principaux objets de l’activité de l’enseignant sur cette question, deux enjeux largement partagés par les enseignants et un ensemble de compétences associées.
Fordham et les séminaires d’observation du nourrisson à la Society of Analytical Psychology : entretien avec Gianna Williams

Published: December 2018

Cet article est un entretien de Gianna Williams paru dans le Journal of Child Psychotherapy en 1996. Gianna Williams conduisit à la Society of Analytical Psychology des séminaires d’observation du nourrisson, séminaires auxquels participa Michael Fordham. L’entretien relate les discussions et débats auxquels ces séminaires donnèrent lieu, autour d’idées chères à Michael Fordham et de parallèles entre concepts jungiens et kleiniens.
Le corps au travail – Burn out et fatigue
Authors: Cannou Emmanuel
Published: December 2018

L’auteur s’interroge sur la survenue du burn out qu’il classe au sein des nombreux embrasements dépressifs, en lien avec notre société occidentale. Pourtant, à la différence de la dépression, le travail occupe toute la scène centrale du discours comme cause du mal-être. Il s’agit, dans une perspective psychopathologique et diagnostique, de pouvoir repérer le sens des symptômes partagés avec la fatigue par exemple. Il a été observé chez les sujets présentant un burn out que prévaudrait une adaptation extravertie univoque. Le psyché-soma des personnes concernées, parce qu’il est aussi lié à l’identité, prendrait le relais d’une expression de soi prise dans les filets de la massification des tendances de la personnalité. Il est ici suggéré que la dialectisation des différends professionnels, dans le cadre de dispositifs rigoureux aptes à la mettre en œuvre, puissent jouer un rôle de prévention en matière de santé au travail.
Burn out et guérisseur blessé : un regard jungien
Authors: von Benedek Lisbeth
Published: December 2018

L’auteur suggère que des blessures personnelles et/ou archétypiques sous-tendent le syndrôme douloureux du burn out , épuisement professionnel qui concerne bien des thérapeutes. Pris par une ambition irrépressible, ils peuvent, en s’identifiant à la figure du héros, dépasser leurs limites dans un désir inconscient de toute-puissance. Sous l’impact de l’enfant thérapeutique, sauveur de ses parents, les thérapeutes sont également touchés par l’archétype du guérisseur blessé, mise en image de la figure de Chiron qui, selon les mythes grecs, possédait des dons de guérison exceptionnels tout en souffrant d’une blessure douloureuse. Pour mettre fin à sa souffrance, Zeus accepte de le libérer de son statut d’immortalité, l’obligeant à renoncer à sa toute-puissance. De même, lorsqu’au sein de la relation transférentielle, le thérapeute est éprouvé par une blessure commune, il doit avoir la sagesse d’abandonner la position de pouvoir « sur-humain » pour que soit activé le guérisseur intérieur du patient.
