This research investigated the effect of brand image on taste perception. The hypothesis of this research was that brand images would affect taste perception. It was also hypothesized that more qualified brand would result in more positive taste perception than less qualified brand. Product used in this research was mineral water. Two brands chosen for this research were A-one which represent more qualified brand, and A-two which represent less qualified brand (compared to A-one). Apart from these two brands, a non-branded package was also used. The samples (N = 60) were undergraduate student of the Faculty of Psychology,   a State Own University in Jogyakarta, who volunteered as research subjects. The samples were assigned to evaluate the taste of mineral water served in the three different brand packages. A taste perception scale was employed to collect  data through a counter-balance experimental design method. Experimental method with counter-balance design was conducted to ensure that the different in taste perception was the result of different brand images. Result revealed that brand image had effect on taste perception (F = 12,824, p<0,01). Branded package elicited positive response more than non-branded package. Thus, it causes more positive taste perception. Different result was obtained for more qualified brand and less qualified brand. There was no difference between more qualified brand and less qualified brand on taste perception.  This study concluded, due to similarity of the brands character, samples intend to have the same taste perception on the brands. Keywords: taste perception, brand images

Published: February 2018

Aggressive behaviors by adolescents in Indonesia has perceived as national problem. This problem ofbehavior occur among all background of teenagers, including young people who had religiousbackground. There are two purposes of the study: 1). To examine the difference of aggressivenessbetween adolescent living in pesantren and adolescent living outside pesantren; and 2). To examine thedifference of aggressiveness among adolescents doing different frequency of religious fasting (shiyam),especially non-obligatory (sunnah) fasting on Monday or Thursday. The population of study was 11 to 21years old male-Moslem adolescent living in Kelurahan Bangunharjo, Semarang. Samples of study takenwith random sampling, based on data of residences in Kelurahan Bagunharjo Semarang. Twohypotheses were proposed in this study: 1). There are different aggressiveness between adolescentsliving in pesantren and ones living outside of pesantren; and 2). There are different aggressivenessamong adolescents doing different frequencies of Monday-Thursday shiyam. The first examinationemploying independent sample t-test resulted in t=-4,902 which p=0,00 (p<0,01), showed that the firsthypothesis was proved: there was a very significant difference of aggressiveness between the group ofMuslim-male adolescents living in pesantren and the group of others, the first group showed loweraggressiveness. The second examination employing one-way anova resulted in F=16,736 which p=0, 00(p<0, 01), showed that the second hypothesis was also proved: there was a very significant difference ofaggressiveness among the groups of Muslim-male adolescents with different frequency of religiousfasting (shiyam): the more frequency of religious fasting, the lower aggressiveness was. The result ofstudy suggested that both religious living environment and religious fasting might give contribution todecrease aggressiveness on adolescents.

Going hungry for a period
of 8-10 hours at night is normal for most people. Hunger is characterized by a
coordinated series of metabolic changes; it is a situation that preserves endogenous
carbohydrate and increases the use of fat as a source of energy. While the
consumption of endogenous carbohydrate becomes restricted, the production of
carbohydrate from amino acids, glycerol and ketone bodies through
gluconeogenesis increases. Many people periodically fast for religious or
cultural reasons. Ramadan is a state of fasting in Islam when it is forbidden
to eat and drink during daylight hours for 30 days. A state of intermittent
fasting such as Ramadan has a slight effect on the general nutrition and
physiological responses of the sedentary population. Food intake occurs at
night and close to the morning. The body
mass generally remains the same, the total energy intake roughly remains
stable, and small changes are observed in the consumption of protein,
carbohydrate and fat. Nevertheless, the lack of suitable nutritional support
decreases the adaptation to exercising and disrupts the process of preparation for competitions. The process of
recovery after heavy exercising depends on the food and liquid intake. This
compilation aims to examine the effects of the month of Ramadan on exercising
performance in the light of scientific data

Published: February 2018

Starting from 4-aminohippuric acid (AHA), two novel series of heterocyclic compounds of pharmaceutical interest have been synthesised by one-pot, multicomponent reactions under microwave conditions. Reaction of AHA with various aldehydes and benzil in (1:1) EtOH/acetic acid in the presence of ammonium acetate yielded 1,2,3,5-tetra-arylated imidazole derivatives, whereas a solvent-free reaction of AHA with various aldehydes and dimedone (2 equiv.) in the presence of p-TSA yielded 4,9-diarylated 1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridine derivatives. These reactions produced good yields in short reaction times with an easy work-up, and purification of products was achieved by simple recrystallisation.
Categorization of Memes
Authors: Ambrus Laura
Published: February 2018

Nowadays a huge amount of communication is performed in an online environment. This tendency facilitated the realization of certain digital elements specific to online interfaces. Generally speaking, it can be stated that a new genre appeared in the past few years – the memes, which are a combination of pictorial and textual elements, created and shared online. Richard Dawkins and Susan Blackmore, who provided the traditional meme definition, argue that a meme is what travels from brain to brain. Digital meme has a narrower interpretation, since it focuses on the textual-pictorial elements. According to the Cognitive Linguistic point of view, the conceptual metaphors, metonymies and blends are used in our everyday conceptualization processes (based on Lakoff and Johnson’s Metaphors We Live By, 1980 and Fauconnier–Turner’s The Way We Think, 2002). So it can be assumed that these digital elements also operate exploiting cognitive devices like metaphors and blends. Yet many questions arise: how can memes be categorized? Can a prototypical meme be identified? How do cognitive processes take place in the conceptualization? What is the source of humor? Based on the analysis performed, it can be concluded that there are prototypical memes, but different aspects have to be taken into account; and that the complexity of cognitive processes a meme operates with is strongly related to the viability of the topic that a particular meme is related to.
The Veracity of Adolescents’ Drawings
Authors: Hortoványi Judit
Published: February 2018

In my essay I deal with the issue of how visual representation is related to veracity in adolescents’ drawings. In my PhD dissertation I investigated the possible applications of the 5-Symbols Art Task Series in relation to adolescents. The 5-symbols task is a projective art task series tailored for pedagogical practice, developed by myself. With the help of these drawings, through the depiction of the symbols, students share their personal experience, their inner world, with the community. In this case a drawing is a way of communication and the tool of self-expression, too. Therefore, the adolescents’ drawings are not veridical from the point of view of true representation, but they do indeed reveal their real inner world. I introduce my research results on how we can use drawings purposely as a tool of nonverbal communication in pedagogical practice. In adolescents’ drawings we can see contents that are forbidden in verbal form or contents they are ashamed of (e.g. anxiety, aggression, inferiority complex, etc.), and they reshape well-known signs from the media to suit their own selves. In some cases visual representation can be more effective than verbal communication, for example when it comes to the representation of grief by choosing specific colour combinations. I illustrate my study with adolescents’ drawings from the 5-Symbols Art Task Series.

Az 1953-as koreai háborút követően azonban – nagyhatalmi érdekektől is vezérelve- a világgazdaság egyik meghatározó szereplőjévé nőtte ki magát. Az 1997-es ázsiai gazdasági válság érzékenyen érintette a fejlett, de kevéssé diverzifikált gazdaságot. A válság eredményeként részben újrafogalmazták a munka-tanulás koreai duális rendszerét és ennek keretében a karrier tanácsadás, pályaorientáció szerepét is. Ezt követően egy évtized alatt működő képességpolitikát alakítottak ki.***The 20th century’s history of Korea started with several bloody episodes. After the 1953 Korean War – also influenced by the interests of superpowers – it has become one of the key players of the global economy.

A szervezeti tudás megosztása jelentős kihívást jelent minden szervezet számára, hisz a turbulensen változó körülményekhez történő alkalmazkodás és az innovációs képesség napjainkra jóval meghatározóbb módon függ a szervezeti tudástól, mint az egyénitől. A szervezetek akarva-akaratlanul tudásszervezetekké válnak, ahol kiemelt szerepet kap az egyéni és szervezeti tudás transzparenciája. Egyre erősebb prioritást kell, hogy kapjon a tudásmenedzsment területén belül egy újfajta gondolkodásmód, egy olyan rendszerszemléleti megközelítés, olyan korszerű vezetési modellek alkalmazása, amelyek stratégiai szinten jelentenek alapvető változást egy szervezet életében. Napjaink vezetési gyakorlatában egyre nagyobb szerepet kap az a fajta szemlélet, amely elkötelezett a munkavállalók fejlesztése, tudatosságuk és felelősségvállalásuk növelése mellett.

Genetic Gestational Surrogacy: Hope for Muslims
Authors: Lasker Shamima Parvin , Ghilardi Marcello
Published: February 2018

More than half a million couples may be suffering from infertility in the world. When in vitro fertilization is unsuccessful, surrogacy may be a substitute choice for many couples. Literature shows that ten million Muslims are infertile worldwide. According to Islamic theology the concept of surrogacy is null and void as formation of blastocyst constitutes from sperm that is transferred to the uterus of a woman who is not married to him. In Islam, marriage is the only legal procedure to procreation for preservation of lineage, inheritance, prevention of adultery and prevention of possibility of incest among the half-siblings.  Genetic gestational surrogacy (sperm of husband and ovum of wife is fertilized by IVF procedure and transfer the embryos to the surrogate mother) may be free from social, legal and moral complications. Some Islamic countries have reluctant law in favour of surrogacy, as for example Iran, Lebanon and sporadic parts of the Muslim world. This article has attempted to find out a valid notion for accepting genetic gestational surrogacy in major part of the Muslim world that may reduce the peril of women who can not give a birth baby.
The Globular Cluster NGC 6402 (M14). II. Variable Stars*

Published: February 2018

We present time-series BVI photometry for the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6402 (M14). The data consist of ∼137 images per filter, obtained using the 0.9 and 1.0 m SMARTS telescopes at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The images were obtained during two observing runs in 2006–2007. The image-subtraction package ISIS, along with DAOPHOT II/ALLFRAME, was used to perform crowded-field photometry and search for variable stars. We identified 130 variables, eight of which are new discoveries. The variable star population is comprised of 56 ab-type RR Lyrae stars, 54 c-type RR Lyrae, 6 type II Cepheids, 1 W UMa star, 1 detached eclipsing binary, and 12 long-period variables. We provide Fourier decomposition parameters for the RR Lyrae, and discuss the physical parameters and photometric metallicity derived therefrom. The M14 distance modulus is also discussed, based on different approaches for the calibration of the absolute magnitudes of RR Lyrae stars. The possible presence of second-overtone RR Lyrae in M14 is critically addressed, with our results arguing against this possibility. By considering all of the RR Lyrae stars as members of the cluster, we derive

. This, together with the position of the RR Lyrae stars of both Bailey types in the period–amplitude diagram, suggests an Oosterhoff-intermediate classification for the cluster. Such an intermediate Oosterhoff type is much more commonly found in nearby extragalactic systems, and we critically discuss several other possible indications that may point to an extragalactic origin for this cluster.
Non-blackbody Disks Can Help Explain Inferred AGN Accretion Disk Sizes
Authors: Hall Patrick B. , Sarrouh Ghassan T. , Horne Keith
Published: February 2018

If the atmospheric density

in the accretion disk of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) is sufficiently low, scattering in the atmosphere can produce a non-blackbody emergent spectrum. For a given bolometric luminosity, at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths such disks have lower fluxes and apparently larger sizes as compared to disks that emit as blackbodies. We show that models in which

is a sufficiently low fixed fraction of the interior density ρ can match the AGN STORM observations of NGC 5548 but produce disk spectral energy distributions that peak at shorter wavelengths than observed in luminous AGN in general. Thus, scattering atmospheres can contribute to the explanation for large inferred AGN accretion disk sizes but are unlikely to be the only contributor. In the appendix section, we present unified equations for the interior ρ and T in gas pressure-dominated regions of a thin accretion disk.

Published: February 2018

We report on high-resolution imaging and spectral observations of eruptions of a spiral structure in the transition region, which were taken with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The eruption coincided with the appearance of two series of jets, with velocities comparable to the Alfvén speeds in their footpoints. Several pieces of evidence of magnetic braiding in the eruption are revealed, including localized bright knots, multiple well-separated jet threads, transition region explosive events, and the fact that all three of these are falling into the same locations within the eruptive structures. Through analysis of the extrapolated 3D magnetic field in the region, we found that the eruptive spiral structure corresponded well to locations of twisted magnetic flux tubes with varying curl values along their lengths. The eruption occurred where strong parallel currents, high squashing factors, and large twist numbers were obtained. The electron number density of the eruptive structure is found to be ∼3 × 1012 cm−3, indicating that a significant amount of mass could be pumped into the corona by the jets. Following the eruption, the extrapolations revealed a set of seemingly relaxed loops, which were visible in the AIA 94 Å channel, indicating temperatures of around 6.3 MK. With these observations, we suggest that magnetic braiding could be part of the mechanisms explaining the formation of solar eruption and the mass and energy supplement to the corona.

Published: February 2018

Medical emergencies are one of the most stressful situations the staff in a dental practice might encounter. The duty of care toward the attending patients obligates suitable preparedness to provide the necessary care if such emergencies ensue. Unfortunately, we found that 22% of the investigated dental clinics had no emergency kit available. Only 38% of the interviewed dentists felt confident to perform CPR, and 18% had no confidence to manage any medical emergency. An MCQ test of 20 questions examining the dentists’ knowledge in medical emergencies was distributed, and the level of knowledge was found to be suboptimal. The average score of the interviewed dentists was 10.87 out of 20. Experience and specialty training had a negligible effect on the level of knowledge.

Authors: Kamiloski Marjan , Todorovik Lazar , Memeti Shaban , Jovcevski Lazo , Shuperliska Slavica , Aleksovski Zlatko
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND: The fractures of the distal radius are one of the most frequent cases in the pediatric population. The primary way of treating these fractures is conservative, with manual reduction and cast immobilisation. In patients where reduction and retention of the fracture cannot be achieved, a surgical approach is the treatment of choice.AIM: To evaluate the benefits of using the minimally invasive surgical treatment of closed reduction using Sommer - pins in the treatment of the fractures of the distal radius in the pediatric population with the method of the Kapandji technique.MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, we used cases treated from 2012 to 2017, of 48 completely dislocated fractures of the distal radius in patients ages 6 -14 yrs., Where the use of non-surgical treatment proved ineffective. In the surgical treatment, we used one or two Sommer - pins to achieve a correct reduction and fixation.RESULTS: The post-op immobilisation lasted 4 - 7 weeks with an underarm cast. The patients were closely followed in the period of 6 months following the intervention. The anatomic reduction was easily achieved with this type of technique in every case. In the post-op period, there was no significant loss of reduction and another surgical procedure was not needed in any of the cases.CONCLUSION: With the use of the closed reduction Kapandji technique, an easy and good anatomical reduction is achieved with good post-op results in the treatment of completely dislocated fractures in the distal radius in children.
Prevalence of Depression Symptoms in Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Eker Salih
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent diseases all over the world. Prevalence of DM in Turkey is 13.7%. Depression is another condition which has a high prevalence. All over the world, an estimated 300 million people of all ages suffer from depression. The relevance between depression and DM is a well - known condition.AIM: We aimed in this study to find out the prevalence of depression symptoms for DM in an attempt to better manage the disease.METHODS: We preferred the Beck Depression Index (BDI) to evaluate the depression symptoms.RESULTS: The number of patients introduced the study were 171 (101 (59.1%) female). As a results of BDI 67 (39.2%) patients evaluated as normal [29 (28.7%) female], 54 (31.6%) had poor symptoms [35 (34.7%) female], 46 (26.9%) had moderate symptoms [34 (33.7%) female] and lastly only 4(2.3%) had strong symptoms 3 (3.0%) female]. So 50 (29.2%) of patients had median plus strong symptoms. There were statistically significant association between HbA1c stages and depression (P = 0.018).CONCLUSION: Being a patient with DM is a strong indicator that the patient may have a depressive disorder. So the physician who takes care patients with DM should be alert about depression, and the simplest way to accomplish is BDI.

BACKGROUND: Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) located in the sun-exposed regions are a serious therapeutic challenge. Therefore early diagnosis and adequate therapy should be of a high priority for every dermatologic surgeon.CASE PRESENTATION: We are presenting a patient with multiple BCCs, located on the area of the scalp, who had been treated several years ago with electrocautery and curettage after histopathological verification. However, the last few years the tumours have advanced, infiltrating firstly the tabula external and a year later the tabula interna of the cranium. A computed -tomography (CT) imaging and radiography of the skull were performed to reveal the definite tumour localisation, needed for planning an one - step surgical intervention. Both of the instrumental examinations confirmed the existence of osteolytic tumour lesions. Craniotomy with precise removal of the BCCs infiltrating the cranial bone in all of its thickness was performed. Partial resection of dura mater was also performed also because intraoperative findings established the involvement of the dura. Histopathological verification revealed bone and dural invasion with clean resection margins. The bone defect was recovered with hydroxyapatite cement. Reconstruction as the shape of the skull was carefully modified and adapted to its initial size and form. Layered closure of the skin and soft tissues were performed after the complete removal of the BCCs. The postoperative period had no serious complications.CONCLUSION: Precisely managed therapy of BCC is curative in most of the cases as it ensures good prognosis for the patient.

The 40 subjects involved in this study belonged to both genders, in age between 15 -65 years. The sample selection was randomised. The retroalveolar radiography for each patient was taken in the suspected tooth. As a therapeutic plan the authors decided to disinfect the root canal with the irrigants, as follows: 2.5 % NaOCl, 2 % CHX and gaseous ozone.RESULTS: The statistical analyses were based on Kruskal - Vallis test, X - test, DF = 3, r < 0.01. In the isolated average number of the aerobe and anaerobe bacteria colonies, when gaseous ozone was used, there was the significant statistical difference.CONCLUSIONS: When gaseous ozone was combined with irrigants 0.9%, 2.5 % NaOCl and 2% CHX, it was concluded that the number of colonies of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria was reduced.
Bullous Tinea Incognito in a Bulgarian Child: First Description in the Medical Literature!
Authors: Tchernev Georgi , Terziev Ivan
Published: February 2018

For the first time in the world medical literature, we describe a rare form of cutaneous dermatophytosis – a bullous form of Tinea incognito, classified by clinical picture, histopathological findings and an isolated infectious agent from the microbiological culture. After a thorough review of Medline/PubMed's relevant literature, we could not find similar cases of patients with Tinea incognito who are clinically presented with bullous lesions at the same time. Local application of corticosteroids in infants with unknown lesions may lead to progression of the underlying disease and may cause some serious problems in differential diagnosis aspect, while the clinical expression remains completely masked. Exactly for this reason, right at the beginning of the clinical complaints, a skin biopsy should be obligatorily performed in parallel with microbiological swabs. If there is no improvement after the local corticosteroid application, then diagnosis revision and change of the strategy of clinical behaviour would be appropriate to be done. The systemic treatment that we performed with Fluconazole 50 mg in combination with the local antimycotic agent for a 2-week period led to complete remission.
Rheumatologists’ Views and Experiences in Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis in Elderly Patients: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Nawrot Jill , Boonen Annelies , Peeters Ralph , Starmans Mirian , van Onna Marloes
Published: February 2018

Objective.

In this qualitative study we analyzed the (1) influence of age, comorbidity, and frailty on management goals in elderly patients with RA; (2) experiences of rheumatologists regarding the use of the Disease Activity Score at 28 joints (DAS28) to monitor disease activity; and (3) differences in management strategies in elderly patients with RA compared to their younger counterparts.

Methods.

Rheumatologists were purposively sampled for a semistructured interview. Two readers independently read and coded the interview transcripts. Important concepts were taxonomically categorized and combined in overarching themes by using NVivo 11 software.

Results.

Seventeen rheumatologists (mean age 44.8 yrs, SD 7.7 yrs; 29% male) from 9 medical centers were interviewed. Preserving an acceptable level of functioning was the most important management goal in patients ≥ 80 years and in patients with high levels of comorbidity and frailty. The DAS28 score less frequently steered the management strategy, because rheumatologists commented that comorbidity and an age-related erythrocyte sedimentation rate elevation might distort the DAS28 score. Instead, management of elderly patients highly depended on comorbidity, frailty, and their subsequent effects such as cognitive and physical decline, dependency, and polypharmacy. Presence of 1 or more of these factors frequently resulted in a less future-oriented management approach with less emphasis on the maximal prevention of joint erosions.

Conclusion.

The treat-to-target model is not automatically adopted in the elderly patient population. Future evidence-based RA management recommendations for elderly patients with RA are needed and should account for factors such as comorbidity and frailty.
Entre don et nécessité. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, anthropologue du langage
Authors: Corbin Stéphane
Published: February 2018

Le caractère insolite de la théorie de Rousseau sur l’origine des langues réside dans sa dimension résolument anti-utilitariste. Loin d’être en effet la conséquence mécanique d’une nécessité pour les hommes de se regrouper, les langues, parce qu’elles sont pour Rousseau les expressions des sentiments et des passions qui naissent d’un tout autre commerce entre les hommes, provoquent une véritable rupture symbolique qui institue la société sur le dépassement des seules contingences. C’est ainsi que Rousseau fait œuvre d’anthropologie, en identifiant, dans cette obligation inaugurale à se séparer de soi, le fondement du langage et du don.
Une défense du référendum à partir de l’exemple suisse
Authors: Chollet Antoine
Published: February 2018

Nous voudrions ici défendre le référendum en le considérant comme une institution démocratique. La Suisse, qui en fait l’usage le plus fréquent, servira d’exemple. Après avoir rappelé l’histoire des mécanismes référendaires dans ce pays, nous examinerons les différentes critiques émises à leur égard, en montrant qu’à chaque fois elles font usage d’arguments antidémocratiques. Contre ces derniers, nous soulignerons alors que la démocratie est un régime populiste, désordonné et sans fondement, et que ce sont précisément ces caractéristiques qui doivent être défendues par les démocrates.
Critical Realism. Anti-Utilitarianism and Axiological Engagement
Authors: Vandenberghe Frédéric
Published: February 2018

L’article invite à une alliance entre les mouvements réaliste et anti-utilitariste dans les sciences sociales. Afin de l’initier, il souligne la nécessité de dépasser le positivisme, l’utilitarisme et la neutralité axiologique. L’ambition d’une telle alliance n’est cependant pas uniquement négative. Il s’agit rien de moins que de repenser la théorie sociale, en continuité avec la visée d’une vie bonne avec et pour les autres dans des institutions justes.
Drogues imaginaires et expérience psychédélique dans la litterature de Science-Fiction
Authors: Torres Anita
Published: February 2018

Au cours d'un entretien, un écrivain de science-fiction présente les réflexions issues de ses recherches sur les drogues imaginaires et l'influence du mouvement psychédélique dans la littérature conjecturale. Dans les années 1960-1970, la présence de la drogue dans cette littérature traduit l'influence du contexte idéologique : mouvement hippie, psychédélisme. Avec les années 80, elle s'inscrit dans les univers urbains, violents et dominés par la technologie informatique des écrivains « cyberpunks ». L'auteur évoque également les drogues imaginaires de la science-fiction, prétextes à la présentation des fantasmes des écrivains ou à la multiplication des réalités.
Managing Opioid Use Disorder and Co-Occurring Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among Veterans
Authors: Snow Rhonda , Wynn Stephanie T.
Published: February 2018

Support and safety measures are essential for Veterans admitted to acute psychiatric units with co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and opioid use disorder (OUD) to avoid unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. A human patient simulator was used to train clinicians to recognize opioid withdrawal symptoms. Clinicians were educated to assess for opioid withdrawal symptoms using the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale. Knowledge was evaluated via pre/posttest. All participants' (
N
= 12) posttest scores improved. Participants self-rated their perception of clinical knowledge and practice skills as higher postintervention. Veterans indicated decreased concern about opioid withdrawal symptoms and increased perception that symptoms were adequately evaluated and treated by clinicians. Overall, the intervention appeared to enhance the provision of quality care in Veterans with OUD and co-occurring PTSD on an acute inpatient psychiatric unit. [

Women With Dissociative Identity Disorder Who Experience Intimate Partner Violence
Authors: Snyder Briana L.
Published: February 2018

Women with dissociative identity disorder (DID) are significantly more likely than other women to experience intimate partner violence (IPV). The purpose of this qualitative investigation was to explicate the experiences of women with DID who experience IPV and describe how they cope. Grounded theory was used to conduct this investigation. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants (
N
= 5) for face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. Verbatim transcripts were coded and categorized, and reflective memos were developed to explicate substantive categories. Women with DID used coping strategies that were consistent with their diagnoses, such as switching and dissociating. These coping mechanisms reflect past self-preservation strategies that were developed in association with severe childhood maltreatment. Women with DID who experienced IPV sought to mitigate and safeguard themselves from danger using strategies they developed as maltreated children. Nurses can use these findings to better recognize and understand the motivations and behaviors of women with DID who experience IPV. [

Uncommon Pediatric Primary Headache Disorders
Authors: Victorio M. Cristina
Published: February 2018

Migraine and tension-type headaches are common primary headache disorders encountered among children and adolescents presenting to a pediatric clinic. At times, children present with a headache with unusual or peculiar features that can be alarming and perplexing. These can be in the form of a brief stabbing headache with lacrimation in one eye or a continuous headache locked to one side of the head or face. These headache syndromes tend to be more common among adults but, on occasion, are known to occur or have their onset during childhood. This review outlines some of the uncommon primary headache disorders in children and adolescents that may be encountered in a pediatric clinic. Knowledge of these interesting conditions may avert the need for immediate neurological consultation and prevent delays in initiating specific therapy.

L’objet comme document
Authors: Bernasconi Gianenrico
Published: February 2018

Souvent négligé dans le débat historiographie français, l’objet est un document matériel susceptible d’ouvrir des nouvelles perspectives de recherche. Dans les dernières années la découverte de la matérialité de ce document a déplacé l’attention des formes symboliques de l’appropriation des objets aux gestes que l’objet participe à configurer par sa manipulation. Son étude met en place une véritable archéologie des pratiques qui a ses méthodes d’enquête. Pourtant pour saisir les chances offertes par le document matériel, il faut mobiliser les archives et les approches que depuis quelques années l’histoire des techniques a développées dans ses recherches sur les cultures artisanales à l’époque moderne. L’enquête sur les archives met en relation la matérialité avec les cultures techniques à travers lesquelles on arrive à saisir l’émergence des formes et de fonctions des objets.
Produire une élite savante et technicienne à l’École du génie de Mézières : dispositions techniques et scientifiques des élèves ingénieurs
Authors: Pautet Sébastien
Published: February 2018

Dans la seconde moitié du xviiie siècle, les ingénieurs militaires constituent une véritable élite scientifique et technique en France. L’enseignement scientifique de l’École du génie de Mézières (1748-1794) ainsi que les activités de recherche qui s’y déploient expliquent en partie le nombre de grands savants passés par ses rangs. Cependant, nous faisons l’hypothèse que la force du modèle proposé par l’École du génie ne réside pas dans la seule transmission d’un riche corps de savoirs auprès des élèves ingénieurs, mais qu’elle naît aussi de la capacité de l’École à fabriquer chez ces derniers des dispositions (comme manière de sentir, de parler, de penser ou d’agir) à la fois techniques, scientifiques et sociales. L’étude de la construction de ces dispositions permet de comprendre comment l’École du génie a forgé dans les dernières décennies de l’Ancien Régime une identité professionnelle et intellectuelle propre aux ingénieurs militaires français, appelée à s’épanouir et se renforcer au siècle suivant à l’École polytechnique.
Maîtriser l’eau et gagner des terres au xvie siècle
Authors: Morera Raphaël
Published: February 2018

Andries Vierlingh (1522-1579) a notamment servi le comte d’Orange en tant que maître des digues. Au soir de sa vie, Vierlingh entreprit de coucher par écrit son expérience. Écrit au cours des années 1570, resté inachevé et non publié en raison de la mort de son auteur, le Tractaet van Dyckagie aborde les étapes successives de la construction d’un polder. Présentant les différentes techniques employées à d’éventuels investisseurs, l’ouvrage fait ainsi apparaître un grand pragmatisme technique et s’apparente à une réduction en art.
Mesurer le temps en mer : instruments, voyages et échelles des mondes ibériques au xvie siècle
Authors: Carrió Cataldi Leonardo Ariel
Published: February 2018

À la croisée de l’histoire moderne des empires ibériques et de l’anthropologie des savoirs et des techniques, l’article propose une lecture sociale de l’emploi de différents instruments de mesure utilisés par D. João de Castro (1500-1548) lors de son voyage maritime de Lisbonne à Goa (1538) à bord du Grifo. Du bateau comme espace social au bateau comme « lieu de savoir », l’attention est portée sur l’utilisation d’un nouvel instrument, l’instrument des ombres, et sur la mesure du temps en mer.
