Authors: Da Silva Filho José Nunes , Gurgel Jonas Lírio , Porto Flávia
Published: June 2015

Introduction: Nowadays, postural problems are widely discussed concerns because they involve quality of life and interfere with the functional aspects of individuals. To do this, muscle stretching exercise is suggested as useful in treating postural deviations. Objective: To investigate the effect of muscle stretching on body posture and analyze aspects of prescription and evaluation methods in order to relate the proposed training and results. Method: This systematic review was previously registered and accepted in International Registry Of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, id: CRD42013005280), and described according to the recommendations of the PRISMA. The search data began with the choice of key terms and their synonyms, according to the Words of Heath (DeSC) and MeSH. After, seeking material was performed on the major databases of scientific information (SciELO; PEDro, PubMed and Google Scholar). The studies that met the eligibility criteria underwent an evaluation as to their methodological quality based on the Brazilian - Portuguese version of the PEDro scale. Results: seven scorers, clinical trials, found methodologically, following Pedro scale, which showed little evidence about the topic, which contain significant limitations and/or low methodological quality. Conclusion: There is little evidence on the effectiveness of the intervention with exercise stretching in correcting postural deviations, making it difficult to reach consensus or conclusions.

Introduction: The postural control system, responsible for maintaining the erect posture, it is strongly influenced by the visual system. Posture is the state of balance between muscles and bones, capable of protecting other structures of the human body from possible injuries. The visual system plays an important role in stabilizing the posture by continuously provide, with respect to the current position and the segments of the body in relation to themselves and the environment information nervous system. Objective: Characterize postural profile of young adults with visual impairment using computerized photogrammetry. Method: A postural analysis was performed in thirteen subjects 8 female and 5 male (30.85 ± 6.85 years), by recording images of the anterior, posterior and lateral views. All data were analyzed using the SAPO postural assessment software and the results tabulated in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 program. Descriptive statistics were performed. Results: It was shown that the subjects in this study had the following changes in postural profile: forward head, torso leaning back, pelvic anteversion and valgus hindfoot. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that the attitude of these individuals is characterized by forward head, posterior tilt of the trunk, anterior pelvic tilt, knees flexed and valgus hindfoot. Additionally, it appears that this quantitative and qualitative method, low cost, can easily be incorporated into the clinical setting, it is useful to health professionals in the identification of postural changes and consequently the most appropriate treatment for these individuals.

Authors: De Camargo Rachel Schettert , Moser Auristela Duarte , Bastos Laudelino Cordeiro , Moro Claudia Maria Cabral
Published: June 2015

Introduction: Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is characterised by chronic widespread pain and tender points on palpation. FMS is associated with depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disorders, and functional bowel disorders that can intensify painful feelings, altering functional capacity and quality of life. The health provider usually identifies these conditions through assessment and monitoring tools and recordsthe results on paper. Failure to use electronic information systems, which have specific methodology for the integration of Health Information Systems, hampers the applicability of these methods in clinical practice and does not allow visualisation and comparison of the results in a simple manner. Objective: To propose an information system for assessing and monitoring patients with FMS (SISFIBRO). Method: The first phase consisted of data collection to select evaluation and monitoring methods used by doctors, physical therapists, rheumatologists, and specialists in fibromyalgia. Next, we performed the modelling of the system in the Unified Modelling Language (UML). Based on the diagram of classes, we performed conceptual data modelling with entity-relationship diagrams. The prototype was implemented with the SISFIBRO Oracle database. Below, we included data from 36 patients with FMS to analyse whether the system provided all of the information and necessary functions. Results: In Brazil, most of the professionals (82.4%) record and store patient data on paper charts, and 17.6% do so using electronic systems. The most widely used instruments and methods arethe visual analogue scale (VAS) SF-36, theFibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), evaluation of tender points according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), and the Beck Depression Scale; all are available in SISFIBRO. We developed 1 diagram of use, 1 diagram of classes, 6 diagrams of objects, and 5 diagrams of sequences. We decided that SISFIBRO must be integrated with the Electronic Health Record (EHR) for the recording, storing, sharing, and retrieving of the information. This integration will assist in the clinical practice of health professionals. Conclusion: It was possible to create a system with the reliability needed to support and improve the assessment and treatment of FMS.

Os verbos de modo de movimento do português brasileiro
Authors: Amaral Luana Lopes
Published: June 2015

Neste artigo, vamos tomar como objeto de estudo os verbos de modo de movimento doPB como sacudir, quicar e girar. Esses verbos descrevem o movimento de um objeto peloponto de vista do modo como ocorre o movimento. Assim como verbos causativos eincoativos, os verbos de modo de movimento participam de uma alternância transitivointransitiva.Mostraremos, entretanto, que semanticamente os verbos de modo demovimento participam da alternância agente-tema, diferente da alternância conhecida naliteratura como alternância causativo-incoativa, da qual participam verbos causativos eincoativos. Além disso, nos propomos a fazer uma ampla descrição dos verbos de modode movimento do PB e propomos explicitar as representações semântico-lexicais, emtermos de predicados primitivos para esses tipos de verbos. Chegamos à conclusão deque a posição dos argumentos de um verbo com relação à raiz na representaçãosemântico-lexical é o que determina a realização sintática desses argumentos. Assim,verbos causativos, incoativos e de modo de movimento possuem estruturas semânticolexicaisdiferentes, mas o fato de que seus argumentos estão em uma mesma posiçãocom relação à raiz é o que determina sua participação em um mesmo processo sintático.

Application of the law and power abuse in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure
Authors: Canuto Juliana Cristina Guimarães
Published: June 2015

The present work analyzes power and abuse of authority in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure. It is shown how power is abused, and a comparison between the rulers – the duke and Angelo – analyzes their attitudes, showing in which sense both have failed, according to Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and some of Machiavelli’s considerations in The Prince. There are some thoughts about the application of a law in disuse, its validity and implications in view of moral principles, equity, fairness and justice. The play establishes a parallel between equity and justice in the application of the law, criticizing its application without leaving considerations about mercy or human weaknesses. The idea that no one can follow the law strictly, not even those who apply it, is forwarded. Some sort of faults can be forgiven or at least have a mitigated penalty because of their nature of misdemeanor or because the law that defined them as misconduct is no longer consistent with the reality of the society that created it. Tempering the application of the law with moderate measures and considering equity and justness is showed as the answer to how to determine the measure of applying the law and its penalties.
Persuasão e publicidade: uma questão de argumentação
Authors: Ferreira Clarice Emília Soares
Published: June 2015

Desenvolvida no âmbito do Projeto de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC/CNPq) A Argumentação na Publicidade, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo examinar, à luz da teoria da argumentação, como se busca a persuasão no texto publicitário de prestação de serviços a partir de dois mecanismos básicos: os oriundos da argumentação retórica (retórica acrescentada) e aqueles que se originam da própria língua (retórica integrada). A análise do corpus, constituído de anúncios de operadoras de telefonia celular e de instituições bancárias, publicados em revistas, além daqueles que são enviados como mala-direta, revelou o uso de vários recursos argumentativos que constroem o sentido do texto e revelam seu caráter persuasivo. Entre os mais recorrentes, encontramos os operadores de comparação, principalmente quando se omitem os termos comparantes (uso do superlativo relativo) e os marcadores de pressuposição, além do lugar de quantidade, com exibição numérica. Isso sugere que, em se tratando de publicidade, um gênero persuasivo por excelência, as estratégias argumentativas utilizadas são, pois, mobilizadas em função do objetivo maior: vender um produto.
Métodos off-line em psicolinguística: julgamento de aceitabilidade
Authors: Oliveira Cândido Samuel Fonseca de , Sá Thaís Maíra Machado de
Published: June 2015

Os estudos psicolinguísticos procuram entender quais são os processos mentais envolvidos na faculdade da linguagem. Neste artigo, procuramos dar enfoque ao método off-line Julgamento de Aceitabilidade. Os métodos off-line são aqueles que investigam o processamento a partir de dados obtidos pós-processamento. Neles, os sujeitos são expostos às questões da pesquisa e após a exposição devem executar alguma tarefa. Ou seja, não se observam os processos mentais do sujeito ao longo do processamento do que se quer investigar, mas quando o processamento já foi concluído. O julgamento de aceitabilidade é o julgamento de indivíduos em relação à aceitabilidade de sentenças. Assim, a avaliação dos sujeitos é um dado pós-processual, mas que não deixa de refletir um processo mental. A avaliação do sujeito aos estímulos pode ser realizada por meio da Escala Likert, que é uma escala psicométrica constituída de vários pontos, sendo as escalas de cinco e sete pontos as mais utilizadas. Cada ponto se refere ao grau de aceitabilidade do indivíduo em relação ao estímulo apresentado. Outra opção é a Estimativa de Magnitude, em que os participantes devem atribuir valores que expressem a relação, proporção ou diferença entre os estímulos. O método Julgamento de Aceitabilidade apresenta confiabilidade e facilidade de aplicação, sendo um método de grande utilidade para estudos psicolinguísticos.
Vague words in Law in Order: Special Victims Unit
Authors: Vieira Jonnathas , Lança Paula
Published: June 2015

TV series have been a source of input for English language learners, especially the ones interested in real language use. There are studies that show how close to real life some TV shows are (ORFANO, 2010). For this study a corpus of a TV series - Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU) - was compiled. This corpus is composed of 6 episodes (44.400 words). The analysis considered that every Law and Order episode carries investigation and court scenes. The main point of this investigation is to analyze the use of vague words such as any, anything, anyone, anybody, anyway, and anywhere in the TV show. An analysis of the episodes showed that these words occurred 139 times with a frequency distribution that varied in the investigation and court scenes. The results may reveal that more formal contexts, represented in the TV series by the court scenes, do not favor the use of vague language. In such argumentative contexts speakers tend to be more precise.
A arte mimetiza a natureza
Authors: Palmieri Marina
Published: June 2015

A afirmação aristotélica segundo a qual “a arte, hē tékhnē (ἡτέχνη), mimetiza mimeita (μιμεῖται) a natureza, tēn phýsin (τὴνφύσιν)” ocorre três vezes no que nos restou da obra do estagirita, duas das quais em Physica II, a outra em Meteorologica IV. Se considerarmos o De Mundo e certos trechos do Protrepticus de Jâmblico como de autoria de Aristóteles, acrescentaríamos mais três ou quatro ocorrências às demais, dependendo da edição dos fragmentos do Protrepticus. Neste artigo visamos elucidar o sentido da sentença “a arte mimetiza a natureza”, através de traduções das passagens nas quais tal sentença é apresentada em Physica II, e de comentários à luz dos conceitos de arte, tékhnē (τέχνη), e de natureza, phýsis (φύσις), expostos em Physica I e II. O termo central da supracitada oração aristotélica é o verbo mimetizar, miméomai (μιμέομαι), para o qual atribuímos um sentido que abarca o emulativo e o simulatório.
Duas margens do rio: indícios de lexicalização em Belo Horizonte e de gramaticalização em Varginha / MG
Authors: Pinheiro Rosana , Toledo Cecília
Published: June 2015

Neste texto, estuda-se a variação das formas (OS)1 OLHOS ~ (O) OLHO, (AS) MÃOS ~ (A) MÃO e (OS) PÉS ~ (O) PÉ, ou seja, a variação na marcação de número nos SNs (sintagmas nominais) referentes a pares no falar mineiro de Belo Horizonte. Entendemos que essa variação ocorre devido à expansão nos domínios do léxico, ou seja, lexicalização do plural em detrimento da marcação morfológica. Há evidências de que as mulheres usam mais a forma padrão do que os homens. Atribuímos esse resultado ao fato já conhecido na literatura de as mulheres estarem mais atentas ao padrão de correção. Tratamos também do estudo da ditongação variável em sílabas /CVS/ (como em arroz [a’hojs], paz [‘pajs], vocês [vo’sejs]), realizada por moradores de Varginha, falar sulista. Observamos a prevalência da variável ditongada, mas há casos variáveis especiais em que a ditongação não prepondera. Interpretamos esse resultado como indício de maior atonicidade da sílaba em questão e indício de gramaticalização da palavra. 1Os parênteses indicam a opcionalidade.
A Buenos Aires de Jorge Luis Borges a partir de “La Muerte y la Brújula” e “El Sur”
Authors: Mourão Pedro Henrique De Assis , Gualberto Clarice Lage
Published: June 2015

Este artigo realiza um estudo de duas narrativas de Jorge Luis Borges: “A morte a bússola” e “O sul”. O foco da pesquisa se concentra em Buenos Aires, discutindo como esse lugar é apresentado e caracterizado de forma distinta e porque é fundamental para a compreensão e a criação da atmosfera de dois dos mais bem elaborados contos de Borges. Assim, principalmente, sob o ponto de vista de María Adela Renard e Andréa Lúcia Paiva Padrão, este artigo visa a explorar como Buenos Aires se constitui como espaço literário, propondo possibilidades de reflexão acerca da presença peculiar de tal cidade nas duas narrativas que constituem o corpus deste trabalho. Além disso, são utilizadas: a crítica do conceito verdade real, construída no âmbito jurídico para interpretar os diferentes processos descritivos utilizados nos contos estudados, e algumas questões de análise espacial de acordo com a teoria da recepção, segundo Luis Alberto Brandão. A discussão feita ao longo deste artigo leva à conclusão de que Borges trata Buenos Aires de forma bastante diversa em cada conto, atribuindo a essa cidade sentidos e percepções singulares.AbstractThis article carries out a study on two narratives by Jorge Luis Borges, “Death and the Compass” and “The South”. The research is focused on Buenos Aires, discussing how this city is portrayed and characterized in very different but equally fundamental ways for the comprehension and creation of the atmosphere of two of the best elaborated Borges' short stories. Thus, especially, from the author's María Adela Renard and Andréa Lúcia Padrão's points of view, this work aims to explore how Buenos Aires is formed as a literary space, proposing reflection possibilities towards the city's peculiar presence in both narratives, which constitute the research corpus. Besides, the critique concerning the search of the truth principle, built in the juridical field, to interpret the different descriptive processes used in the studied short stories and some space analysis questions concerning the theory of the reception, according to Luis Alberto Brandão. The discussion carried out along the article takes to the conclusion that Borges treats Buenos Aires in deeply different manners in each short story, ascribing peculiar perceptions and meanings to this city.
Retórica, religião e publicidade: análise da campanha “Eu sou a Universal”
Authors: Franco Eduardo Assunção
Published: June 2015

A Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus veiculou, durante os anos de 2013 e 2014, a campanha publicitária “Eu sou a universal”, provavelmente com o propósito de “frear” a debandada de fiéis e arrebanhar novos adeptos. Os oradores se valem de um forte discurso de superação sempre amparado na sua filiação a essa instituição. Em nossa análise, procuramos verificar se a campanha utiliza a tríade retórica criada por Aristóteles – ethos, pathos e logos – de forma equitativa. Buscamos detectar nela, ainda, as partes do texto retórico: inventio, dispositio, elocutio, actio e memoria.Abstract The Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus aired during the years 2013 and 2014, the advertising campaign "I am the universal", probably in order to "curb" the stampede of worshipers and garner new fans. The enunciators make use of a strong speech on overcoming always supported their affiliation to this institution. In our analysis, we verify if the campaign uses the rhetorical triad created by Aristotle - ethos, pathos and logos - fairly. We seek to detect it, even the parts of the text rhetoric: inventio, dispositio, elocutio, actio and memoria.

Published: June 2015

Our purpose was to identify the behavioral characteristics and determine the attitudes of different customer segments in regard to the personalization features of e-tailers' websites as they related to the criteria of privacy concern and willingness to share information. The data of
1,659 participants were subjected to multivariate analyses of variance and discriminant analysis methods. The results indicated that the customer segment for whom it was most likely to be profitable for companies to establish a personalized e-tail strategy had a high level of privacy concern
and considerable online shopping experience, were willing to share personal information, and had a low level of privacy concern. By profiling online consumers falling within these categories, our aim was to fill the gaps and address discrepancies in the current e-personalization literature
by adding to the available information about consumer privacy concern and information sharing. Limitations and implications of the findings are discussed.
Power Sharing and Task Performance: The Role of Work Engagement and Traditionality
Authors: Li Shao-Long , Qi Jipeng
Published: June 2015

We integrated the job demands–resources model with the cultural self-representation model and proposed and tested a research model to investigate how and when supervisors' power sharing can enhance subordinates' task performance. Participants were 311 subordinates employed in
16 branches of a large telecommunications firm located in northern China, who were paired with their supervisors. The data we obtained provided support for our model. Specifically, the results indicated that supervisors' power sharing enhanced subordinates' task performance via the mediator
of work engagement. In addition, subordinates' traditionality moderated this mediation relationship in such a way that the mediation relationship was more significant among subordinates with low traditionality than it was among subordinates with high traditionality.

Published: June 2015

Introduction: Comprehensive tobacco-free school policy benefits everyone by reducing exposure to second-hand smoking and creating a system that reinforces tobacco-free norm and attitudes, which in turn affect tobacco use having an impact on the health of the community. Objective: This study aims to assess the perception of teachers on tobacco free school environments and factors supporting it. Methods: A two-stage cluster sampling technique was used for the selection of schools with selection probability proportional to enrolment size followed by stratified random sampling of government and private schools. Data were collected from 559 secondary school teachers using a structured questionnaire.Results: Estimation indicated that 48.3% (95% CI: 44.5%, 52.6%) of the teachers were less supportive and 51.7% (95% CI: 47.4%, 55.5%) were more supportive for smoking free school. Logistic regression analysis revealed that non tobacco user teachers were more likely to be supportive (OR=1. 891, 95% CI: 1.197, 2.986) for tobacco free school. However, no statistically significant association was found between perceived supportive tobacco free school and age, sex, level of education, type of school and family size (p>0.05). Exposure to second hand smoking and curriculum content of tobacco issues were not significantly related with tobacco free school.Conclusion: Comprehensive school based programme with participation of school personnel and community can effectively implement tobacco free school programmes.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.14(3) 2015 p.274-279

Published: June 2015

According to distribution of genus Achillea, two main centers of diversity occur in S.E. Europe and S.W. Asia. Diversified essential oil compositions from Balkan Peninsula have been numerously reported. However, report on essential oils of Achillea species growing in Turkey, which is one of the main centers of diversity, is very limited. This paper represents the chemical compositions of the essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of eleven Achillea species, identified simultaneously by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The main components were found to be 1,8-cineole, p-cymene, viridiflorol, nonacosane, α-bisabolol, caryophyllene oxide, α-bisabolon oxide A, β-eudesmol, 15-hexadecanolide and camphor. The chemical principal component analysis based on thirty compounds identified three species groups and a subgroup, where each group constituted a chemotype. This is the first report on the chemical composition of A. hamzaoglui essential oil; as well as the antioxidant and antimicrobial evaluation of its essential oil and methanolic extract.

Published: June 2015

Ipecac alkaloids are secondary metabolites produced in the medicinal plant Psychotria ipecacuanha. Emetine is the main alkaloid of ipecac and one of the active compounds in syrup of Ipecac with emetic property. Here we evaluated emetine’s potential as an antiviral agent against Human Immunodeficiency Virus. We performed in vitro Reverse Transcriptase (RT) Assay and Natural Endogenous Reverse Transcriptase Activity Assay (NERT) to evaluate HIV RT inhibition. Emetine molecular docking on HIV-1 RT was also analyzed. Phenotypic assays were performed in non-lymphocytic and in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) with HIV-1 wild-type and HIV-harboring RT-resistant mutation to Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (M184V). Our results showed that HIV-1 RT was blocked in the presence of emetine in both models: in vitro reactions with isolated HIV-1 RT and intravirion, measured by NERT. Emetine revealed a strong potential of inhibiting HIV-1 replication in both cellular models, reaching 80% of reduction in HIV-1 infection, with low cytotoxic effect. Emetine also blocked HIV-1 infection of RT M184V mutant. These results suggest that emetine is able to penetrate in intact HIV particles, and bind and block reverse transcription reaction, suggesting that it can be used as anti-HIV microbicide. Taken together, our findings provide additional pharmacological information on the potential therapeutic effects of emetine.

Abstract. - An analysis of telephone calls send by the franche-comté urban network to Switzerland allows to define four distinct areas of strong interactions in the border area. These areas are mainly defined by the combined effects of the relief and socio-economical structures. By analysing international telephone calls of a border region, we can foresee the relations, wich are existing between the towns, on the condition to work on a large scale. In our case, these set of data has been confirmed with a great precision by other data as the flows of border workers and the attractions offrench supermarkets on swiss customers.

Communications d'entreprises dans l'espace transfrontalier du Rhin (The enterprise communication in southern rhine-border-space)
Authors: Wackermann Gabriel
Published: June 2015

Abstract. - The Southern Rhine regions with their numerous contrasts strongly marked by the frontiers which have moulded them and given them structure, seem now really ready to fit into the world logistic systems and networks. This propensity to adapt is nevertheless different from a national sector to another one, and above all from a type of firm structure to another one, the frontier playing now only a secondary part. The upper tertiary sector - the service industries of course - irruption speeds up the internationalization process.
Géomorphologie et Pédologie. Histoire parallèle (Geomorphology and Pedology. A tale of two sciences)
Authors: Bomer Bernard
Published: June 2015

Résumé. - Un rapide examen de l'histoire des deux disciplines permet de montrer comment, d'abord indépendantes dans leurs orientations initiales, elles ont ensuite convergé. La pédologie a dû prendre en compte les topographies, tant pour cartographier finement les sols que pour comprendre leurs interrelations à travers les mécanismes qui les élaborent. La géomorphologie a utilisé l'étude des sols pour comprendre le façonnement des formes et restituer les paléomilieux.
Impact économique et social du programme cotonnier au Togo (Economic and social impact of the cotton plant program in Togo)
Authors: Akibodé A.K.
Published: June 2015

Résumé. - La création en 1974 de la Société Togolaise du Coton (SOTOCO) a entraîné une augmentation de la production cotonnière. Cette augmentation résulte d'un accroissement des superficies semées, lié essentiellement à une forte progression du nombre de planteurs. La SOTOCO, Société d'Etat, jouit d'une autonomie administrative et financière : il lui est assigné dans le cadre de la promotion et de l'encadrement de la culture du coton, plusieurs rôles dont elle s'est acquittée avec succès, si bien qu'à partir de la campagne 1986/1987, elle instaure un contingentement des surfaces par région au niveau de celles semées en 1989/1990 afin de ne pas dépasser la capacité totale d'égrenage des usines togolaises (50 000 tonnes de coton graine par an). Par contre, la surface cultivée par planteur, en moyenne, ne progresse pas et varie entre 0,5 et 0,6 hectare par planteur, tandis que le rendement, après avoir dépassé la barre de 900 kg/ha en 1980, oscille ensuite entre 900 et 1 200 kg/ha. Les motivations qui poussent les cultivateurs à produire du coton sont principalement liées à la recherche d'un bon revenu monétaire. Cette sensibilité au prix du coton est actuellement d'autant plus forte que les cours des vivriers se sont affaissés ces dernières années, rendant leur vente moins attractive. Ainsi, l'agriculteur togolais a su s'adapter aux variations des prix observés sur le marché, en insérant plus ou moins massivement suivant les régions, une sole de coton dans son assolement. L'engouement pour la culture du coton est si fort que plus des 3/4 des paysans producteurs pensent que cette culture de rente a eu un impact sur leur pouvoir d'achat ; ils affirment que la SOTOCO est une bonne société et souhaiteraient une meilleure adaptation de ces services à leurs besoins.
Commerces de détail et grandes surfaces à Périgueux et sa banlieue (Retail trade in Perigueux and suburbs)
Authors: Hays Danielle
Published: June 2015

Abstract. - Périgueux, a middle-sized town located in a rural area undergoes strong effects of concurrence between an pedestrian precint in the town center, and suburb endowed with three trading centers, the leaders of wich are hyper-markets. The creation of a fourth one seems to have precipitated the closure of one of them. A change in the circulation also risks to modify the commercial environment.
Les effets de l'implantation d'une agglomération nouvelle sur une cité ancienne. Le cas d'Evry et de Corbeil-Essonnes(Old city and new town : Evry and Corbeil-Essonnes)
Authors: Desbouis Gérard
Published: June 2015

Résumé. - Alors que les Villes Nouvelles avaient été créées pour restructurer l'espace dans un rayon de 35 à 40 kilomètres autour de Paris, il s'est avéré que la cité ancienne de Corbeil-Essonnes située entre deux Villes Nouvelles, qui a été par le passé ville-pôle pour ses activités économiques, administratives, financières et juridiques, a été dépossédée de son pouvoir au profit de l'agglomération nouvelle d'Evry. Après une période très délicate, Corbeil-Essonnes a retrouvé un fragile équilibre. Or, notre enquête a montré que malgré des rapports difficiles, il s'était créé des complémentarités de fait, entre ces deux villes. C'est là à notre avis que se situent les chances du devenir de Corbeil-Essonnes.

Le réseau commercial souterrain montréalais : un précurseur ébranlé (The underground commercial network of Montreal : a precursor today controversal)
Authors: Smits Florence
Published: June 2015

Résumé. - Le réseau commercial souterrain de Montréal, articulé autour du métro et des galeries marchandes, représente aujourd'hui 34 % du commerce du centre-ville. Formidable réalisation architecturale et commerciale, cet ensemble développé en association avec des espaces de bureaux, par des promoteurs privés, est aujourd'hui l'objet de critiques, qui l'accusent de nuire à l'animation des rues ainsi qu'aux commerces traditionnels. Si le développement du premier réseau du monde est remis en cause à Montréal, le réseau commercial souterrain montréalais n'en reste pas moins un exemple, tant sur le plan des aménagements que sur celui des écueils à éviter.
L'érosion consécutive à l'incendie d'août 1989 sur la montagne Sainte-Victoire : trois années d'observations (1989-1992) (Erosion resulting from the fire of august 1989 on the Montagne Sainte-Victoire : three years of observations (1989-1992)
Authors: Ballais Jean-Louis
Published: June 2015

Résumé. - L'incendie d'août 1989 a provoqué une accélération considérable de la dynamique des ruisseaux intermittents, d'abord par une forte accumulation en 1989-1990, puis par une incision en 1990-1991. Il était alors possible de penser à une stabilisation précoce de la morphogenèse grâce à la recolonisation végétale rapide. Cependant, la crue exceptionnelle de septembre 1991 montre que cette stabilisation reste imparfaite.
Les processus érosifs en Limagne clermontoise : aspects historique et contemporain d'un phénomène social (Erosion processes in Limagne around Clermont : historical and contemporary aspects of a social phenomenon)
Authors: Barathon Jean-Jacques , Valleix Jean-François
Published: June 2015

Résumé. - Dans un milieu non dépourvu de fragilité naturelle, les fortes densités d'occupation humaine aux dix-huitième et dix-neuvième siècles sont à l'origine d'une crise érosive marquée, associée à l'extension du vignoble. Aujourd'hui se manifestent d'autres phénomènes érosifs en rapport avec l'extension des secteurs péri-urbains, avec la déstabilisation de versants laissés à la friche. L'érosion éolienne elle-même n'est pas absente dans la plaine en hiver.
La femme au moyen âge, histoire ou hagiographie ?
Authors: Rouche Michel
Published: June 2015

Het werk van Régine Pernoud, La femme au temps des cathédrales (de vrouw in de tijd van de kathedralen) stelt een aantal grote verwezenlijkingen van de wereld der vrouwen van de Xlde tot de XII Ide eeuw voor. De auteur gaat ervan uit dat deze eerste oplebing gevolgd wordt door een zwarte tijd waarin de vrouw haar vrijheid verliest en een ondergeschikte plaats krijgt toegewezen. Men kan deze these maar bewijzen al s men ook de nadruk legt op een traditie van vrouwenhaat en pessimisme in dezelfde période. De auteur verwaarloost volledig de monastieke traditie die voortkwam uit "De kunst van de liefde" van Ovidius en interpreteert de hoofse liefde op een al te letterlijke manier zodat het heidens karakter verdwijnt. Tenslotte biedt zij ons een heiligenleven van de middeleeuwse vrouw.
Pouvoirs et savoirs féminins au XIXe siècle
Authors: Segalen Martine
Published: June 2015

Bien que les savoirs et les pratiques populaires soient combattus au XIXe siècle, ceux que possède et utilise la femme font preuve d'une remarquable capacité de résistance. En essayant de faire éclater les stéréotypes que véhiculent les folkloristes, montre que la femme paysanne est dotée d'un pouvoir spécifique, au sein de son ménage, dans son exploitation, et dans le village. Le progrès technique brutal de l'agriculture tend aujourd'hui à le faire disparaftre, tandis que la femme demeure sous le contrôle qui s'exerce au sein de la communauté locale. Ainsi les contradictions qui enserrent l'agricultrice d'aujourd'hui s'éclairent-elles par l'étude du passé proche.
L'ouvrière dans les romans populaires du XIXe siècle
Authors: Zylberberg-Hocquard Marie-Hélène
Published: June 2015

Can the popular novels be considered as so many documents which could be used by the historian who works on the popular urban strata in the second half of the XIXth century, in particular if he cares to get as concrete and genuine a view as possible of the conditions of life of the working women of the period ? Through the novels often provide us only with a series of Manichaean clichés and worn out hackneyed situations, their authors more or less influenced by naturalism and anxious to be credible among their readers, are forced to describe in them the everyday life that more conventional historical sources do not allow us to see. Whence the interest of a quantity of little details which inform us on the work gestures, the housing, clothes, eating habits, family feelings, etc... of people whom the official history too often neglects. Even more, beyond the collective phantasms on the working class and the women, which conceal considerably the reality, a few novelists can show us the birth among certain women of a new mentality. Their taste for indépendance, their pride as wage-earner, sharply contrast with the tediousness of the traditional heroine.
Scènes de la vie quotidienne : les femmes de la vallée de la Lys (1870-1920)
Authors: Leleu Thierry
Published: June 2015

Quand les femmes d'Armentières évoquent leur enfance, c'est bien souvent pour dire qu'elles n'en ont pas eue. Armentières était une ville de misère et il fallait travailler très tôt. Leur adolescence ? Dans leur vie, son importance fut sans commune mesure avec sa durée. Mais dans bien des cas, ce fut une période d'amères désillusions : difficultés des rapports avec les parents, et surtout avec la mère, manque d'informations sur la vie et sur leur corps, traumatisme de l'arrivée à l'usine où règne la vulgarité. Puis il fallut s'occuper du mari, des enfants et de la maison... Qu'elles fussent ouvrières, ménagères, domestiques ou dames d'oeuvres, le Code Civil les considérait comme mineurs et immâtures, leur refusait la citoyenneté politique et juridique. Tout les confinait dans le rôle d'épouse, de mère et de maftresse de maison. Le seul espoir d'autonomie était réservé aux jeunes filles des classes moyennes qui avaient pu bénéficier d'une instruction secondaire ou supérieure.
