Lorsque l’enfant paraît, la sexualité infantile disparaît
Authors: Lepastier Samuel
Published: February 2020

Paradigme de la psychanalyse, la sexualité infantile est parfois minimisée par les psychanalystes d’enfants. Il est vrai que, tant auprès des usagers que des autorités administratives et politiques, il est plus facile de souligner les traumatismes que les conflits intrapsychiques. Surtout, comme le montrent les vignettes cliniques rapportées, souligner les défaillances précoces de l’environnement est moins malaisé pour le clinicien que donner sens à l’expression pulsionnelle de l’enfant dans l’actualité de la séance. C’est pourquoi des auteurs dénient l’étude des interactions comme voie de développement de la psychanalyse. Pourtant, les autoérotismes se manifestent bien avant l’apparition du langage qui se construit comme une figuration d’affects eux-mêmes issus d’expressions corporelles : les « accès hystériques généraux, prototypiques ». Si les conversions chez l’adulte objectivent des phénomènes subjectifs, les interactions précoces révèlent comment se subjectivent des phénomènes apparemment objectifs.
Présences de Hans
Authors: Tamet Jean-Yves
Published: February 2020

L’article recense les diverses occurrences où, dans l’œuvre freudienne, la présence du récit de cas, connu sous le nom du « petit Hans », analyse d’une phobie chez un petit garçon de 5 ans, est repérable, parfois citée de manière explicite, parfois simplement évoquée ou citée dans des notes de bas de page. Freud a été saisi par cet enfant dont il connaissait les parents, le père participait aux réunions du mercredi et la mère avait été sa patiente. La lecture montre la fréquence importante de références le concernant comme si le traitement de cet enfant et la théorie qu’il en a fait l’avaient préoccupé tout au long de l’avancement des écrits jusqu’à leur ultime production. De plus, ayant eu l’occasion de rencontrer l’enfant devenu adulte, celui-ci nous laisse en 1972 un témoignage émouvant et rare du devenir d’une cure.
Questions d’origines et d’identité chez l’enfant d’aujourd’hui
Authors: Anzieu-Premmereur Christine
Published: February 2020

Dans notre monde d’excès de stimulation, le manque de relation et d’attention rend triste l’enfant modèle. La théorie psychanalytique, avec sa vision économique de la psyché comme moyen de régulation et de décharge de quantités d’affects, s’applique pleinement aux jeunes générations, malheureusement de plus en plus déprimées et soumises à des besoins de plus en plus addictifs. Les problèmes d’identité sont au centre de ces troubles, associés maintenant à la question des origines avec le grand nombre de naissances après intervention médicale. La parentalité mobilisée par des besoins narcissiques est parfois trop masochiste, mais soutenue par de puissants idéaux transmis à l’enfant démuni, car peu contenu. La sexualité infantile paraît mal remplir son rôle d’organisateur de la libido et des mobilisations de la sublimation. L’hypersexualisation de la vie des enfants conduit le plus souvent à des jeux addictifs et semble s’associer à une aggravation de la dépression à l’adolescence.
Trois enfants dans la tourmente du cancer de leurs parents
Authors: Marcandella Cécile
Published: February 2020

Dans le cadre d’une consultation « famille » qui a été construite et élaborée à la suite d’une longue pratique avec les cancérologues, je reçois chaque semaine les proches (conjoints, enfants ou parents) de patients adultes malades dans un centre de lutte contre le cancer : le Centre François Baclesse à Caen. Comme psychologue clinicienne, j’y rencontre notamment de nombreux enfants et adolescents, aux prises avec les angoisses et les conflits que suscite la situation cancéreuse de leurs parents. Dans cette contribution, je tente de décrire « l’enfant modèle » sous trois figures, à travers trois récits. Ces trois positions sont intrinsèquement articulées aux conflits œdipiens de l’enfance, du début et de la fin de l’adolescence ; aux projections parentales et aux aménagements défensifs que ces enfants mettent en place pour survivre dans cette temporalité bouleversée par le cancer et par les moments traumatiques dus aux aléas des traitements. La détresse de ces enfants et adolescents trouve dans ce dispositif un lieu d’écoute et d’élaboration. Il s’agit de poser des lignes réflexives sur le cadre de ce travail, sur les mouvements internes de ces enfants pris dans les enjeux parentaux et de travailler avec eux sur les voies résolutives qu’ils trouvent et inventent.
L’idéal et le transfert dans la formation des psychanalystes
Authors: Bleger Leopoldo
Published: February 2020

Ce petit texte intervient dans le débat déclenché à l’ IPA ( Association psychanalytique internationale ) par un changement du nombre de séances dans le modèle dit Eitingon. Vu depuis la France, ce changement pourrait paraître anecdotique. Mais il a des répercussions importantes, autant au niveau de la clinique que sur le plan politique et institutionnel. Chaque « modèle » de formation a sa propre logique. Au-delà du débat, l’auteur relève l’idéal toujours à l’œuvre : croire qu’il existe une « bonne manière » de former des psychanalystes. Or, penser qu’il existe un modèle idéal et définitif de formation va à l’encontre de ce que veut transmettre la formation analytique : le caractère foncièrement conflictuel de la psyché, dont les mouvements transférentiels sont par excellence le lieu où il se manifeste. Tout comme le symptôme ou le rêve, la formation du psychanalyste a tout d’une formation de compromis
La psychanalyse peut-elle encore faire partie de la formation d’un psychiatre ?
Authors: Baldacci Chantal
Published: February 2020

La formation à la psychanalyse des internes en psychiatrie est un enjeu majeur, car, comme nous le rappelons par un bref aperçu historique, le fossé entre psychanalyse et psychiatrie s’est creusé avec le temps. En nous fondant sur notre expérience hospitalière, nous montrons que la transmission de la psychanalyse aux internes en psychiatrie passe notamment par la découverte des processus inconscients et du maniement de la relation transféro-contre-transférentielle au cours de l’expérience partagée de consultation en double référence. Ce dispositif permet de former les internes à l’écoute analytique des défenses. Ainsi, la projection s’oppose à l’instauration du transfert, mais peut toutefois servir à l’instauration d’un espace potentiel d’aire transitionnelle et ouvrir par la suite le patient à l’exploration de sa réalité psychique. Ainsi peuvent être approchées dans le vif de la pratique, des notions comme l’écart théorico-pratique ou encore l’écart entre la personne objet du transfert et sa fonction.
Le travail du féminin dans l’intimité de la relation psychanalyste-psychanalysant ou la découverte de l’étrange nouveauté de l’autre
Authors: Ji-Sook Burnet Valerie
Published: February 2020

En séance, l’accueil de l’analysant dans l’intimité du psychanalyste renvoie à son travail du féminin, soit à sa capacité de recevoir, contenir et attendre, quel que soit son sexe. L’inquiétante étrangeté de cette rencontre éveille la curiosité infantile pour la sexualité. L’introjection des qualités du sexe féminin, soit la passivité et le masochisme de vie, nécessite quelques mouvements de pare-excitation préalables. Les cures de femme à femme ne font pas l’impasse d’une homosexualité primaire, bien qu’elles nécessitent une rencontre avec le masculin, afin de sortir de la répétition de l’identique.
Histoire de la psychanalyse, histoire des sciences. Renouvellements et convergences
Authors: Ber-Schiavetta Anne
Published: February 2020

À partir de l’examen de Psychoanalysis and History , revue anglaise consacrée à l’histoire de la psychanalyse, l’auteur présente une partie des travaux de son principal directeur, John Forrester (1949-2015), historien et philosophe des sciences de l’Université de Cambridge, fort mal connu en France. L’auteur met en relation les travaux de ce chercheur et ceux de la nouvelle histoire des sciences. Celle-ci, venue des pays anglo-saxons, s’est renouvelée en renonçant aux grandes synthèses, pour se focaliser sur le travail scientifique « tel qu’il se fait », procédant par « études de cas », selon une méthode apparentée à celle de la micro-histoire de Carlo Ginzburg. Les recherches de John Forrester et beaucoup d’articles de la revue visent à insérer l’histoire de la psychanalyse dans ce même mouvement, avec en arrière-plan l’idée que la psychanalyse joue dans cette évolution un rôle majeur.

Authors: Žitnik Serafin Janja
Published: March 2020

The article first outlines the literature on Louis Adamic (1898–1951), the most successful writer of the Slovenian diaspora. The author then highlights Adamic’s prescience in a number of works dedicated to his original homeland. This is followed by a discussion of Adamic’s views on the mid-20th century global situation and the prospects for its development, which include some of the most pressing social issues in the world today. The author employs the overview method by supplementing her current research results with other scholars’ findings.
Kolektivna izkušnja prebežništva in drugih oblik izseljevanja mladih po drugi svetovni vojni v pisnih, ustnih in drugih avto/biografskih virih
Authors: Milharčič Hladnik Mirjam
Published: March 2020

Članek obravnava obdobje izseljevanja na Slovenskem od konca druge svetovne vojne do začetka šestdesetih let 20. stoletja, v katerem je poleg omejenih možnosti legalnega prehoda prevladovala oblika prebežništva oziroma ilegalnega prehajanja zahodne in severne meje. Izseljevanje in prebežništvo so povzročali številni dejavniki, ki so vsebinsko integralno najbolj natančno opisani v pisnih, ustnih in drugih avto/biografskih pričevanjih akterjev dogajanja. Da bi osvetlil kompleksnost vzrokov za odhajanja med mladimi v obravnavanem obdobju, članek temelji na pregledu in primerjalni analizi osebnih izkušenj prebežništva in izseljevanja izbranih posameznikov.

Published: March 2020

Pesnica Cvetka Lipuš je mednarodno uveljavljena in večkrat nagrajena pesnica, rojena na avstrijskem Koroškem. Po študiju v Avstriji je odšla v Združene države Amerike, nato pa se je po več kot desetletju bivanja čez lužo vrnila in se ustalila v Salzburgu. Doslej je izdala sedem pesniških zbirk in je ena izmed najpomembnejših ambasadork slovenske kulture v tujini. Svoje pesniške misli preliva na papir izključno v slovenščini, svojem prvem jeziku, medtem ko sta nemščina in angleščina jezika njene izobrazbe in poklicnega življenja. V prispevku se avtorji sprašujejo, kako se migracije in trije kulturni krogi, ki jo spremljajo, odražajo v njenem življenju in delu.
La « marche du progrès »
Authors: Déruelle Aude
Published: February 2020

La métaphore de « la marche du progrès » commence à s’imposer en France à partir de 1830. Cette expression a des significations que l’article met en perspective : en elle se noue une représentation du temps et de l’humanité au confluent de l’histoire et de la science. L’émergence du modèle de la « marche du progrès » dans l’ordre des espèces coïncide avec l’idée d’une « marche du progrès » dans les sociétés humaines. Bien plus, cette métaphore regroupe plusieurs conceptions du progrès, ce qui a contribué à sa diffusion. L’image construit une représentation naturelle du progrès, sa redondance soulignant son inéluctabilité. Elle élabore également une représentation du progrès orientée vers une fin, ce qui laisse place à un nouveau providentialisme, qu’il soit historique ou scientifique.
Lamarck et Cuvier en révolution
Authors: Grimoult Cédric
Published: February 2020

Dans le contexte de la Révolution française, Lamarck affronte Cuvier au sujet de l’existence, sur la Terre du passé, de catastrophes soudaines, responsables de l’extinction des formes fossiles et empêchant leurs transformations successives pouvant expliquer l’origine des espèces actuelles. Leurs articles se répondent explicitement et présentent des arguments majeurs, ainsi qu’une surprenante simplification de leurs démonstrations. Cet article aborde la question des causes, des modalités et des enjeux de ce combat majeur dans l’histoire des idées, dont les échos se font encore sentir dans l’actualité des sciences de la vie et de la Terre.
Strates géologiques et structure de la mémoire au début du xixe siècle
Authors: Petitier Paule
Published: February 2020

L’article étudie la métaphore des couches de la mémoire en relation avec les travaux des géologues du début du XIXe siècle sur l’étagement des couches du sous-sol. On observe, notamment dans les Mémoires d’outre-tombe de Chateaubriand, que l’appropriation de cette image par des écrivains et des historiens correspond à la Révolution de 1830. Cette transformation de la relation au temps et de la conception de la mémoire coïncide avec les thèses « actualistes » du géologue anglais Lyell. Il s’agit là sans doute non d’un rapport de cause à effet, mais de l’une de ces synchronies qui permettent d’esquisser une histoire des modèles de pensée.
Évolutions ou révolutions : le rôle de l’événement chez Flaubert
Authors: Azoulai Juliette
Published: February 2020

Pour tenter de comprendre la place de l’événement dans la pensée flaubertienne, cet article tente de replacer l’écrivain dans les controverses du xixe siècle, qui opposent, au plan de la biologie ou de l’histoire, des représentations continuistes (évolution) ou discontinuistes du temps (révolution). En examinant différentes occurrences, dans l’œuvre de Flaubert, du mot ou de l’idée d’événement – qu’elles relèvent de la vie privée ou collective –, on propose de suivre à la trace une pensée qui tout à la fois récuse, démystifie et redéfinit ce qui fait événement dans la Nature, mais aussi dans l’histoire collective et dans l’existence individuelle.
Variation in the Management of Pain, Agitation, and Delirium in Intensive Care Units in British Columbia
Authors: Chiu Judy A. , Shergill Meher , Dhingra Vinay , Ronco Juan J. , LeBlanc Allana , Pamplin Chantale , McKeown Shari , Dodek Peter M.
Published: March 2020

Background

Pain, agitation, and delirium are associated with negative outcomes in critically ill patients. Reducing variation in pain, agitation, and delirium management among institutions could improve care.

Objectives

To define opportunities to improve pain, agitation, and delirium management in intensive care units in British Columbia, Canada.

Methods

A 13-item survey was developed to determine practices for assessing and managing pain, agitation, and delirium. Target participants were persons designated as the most informed about pain, agitation, and delirium management at each of the 30 intensive care units in British Columbia. Main measures were protocol use, assessment tool(s) used and frequency, and management approaches.

Results

All 30 units responded; half of them had a unit-specific pain algorithm. The Behavioral Pain Scale and the numerical rating scale were the most common tools used to assess pain. Sites reported 15 different approaches to pain management: two-thirds used a sedation assessment tool, but some relied on physician diagnoses to identify sedation. Sites reported 18 different approaches to sedation management: most included an algorithm or order set for sedation management, but the most commonly used approach was individualized management by a clinician (17% for sedation and 30% for agitation). Sites reported 22 different approaches for delirium management: more than two-thirds used a delirium measurement instrument, but some relied on physician diagnoses to identify delirium.

Conclusion

Variation in assessment and management of pain, agitation, and delirium in British Columbia intensive care units highlights opportunities to improve care.
The Relationship Between Critical Care Work Environment and Professional Quality of Life
Authors: Monroe Marissa , Morse Elizabeth , Price Joseph M.
Published: March 2020

Background

Professional quality of life is the quality a person feels in relation to work. For critical care nurses, it is composed of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue. Professional quality of life is affected by work environment. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) has identified 6 standards for a healthy work environment.

Objective

To explore which of the AACN healthy work environment standards have the strongest impact on professional quality of life in critical care nurses.

Methods

In an exploratory, cross-sectional survey of nurses working in 4 adult critical care units of a single health care facility, professional quality of life was assessed using the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL), and work environment was evaluated using the AACN Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool.

Results

Participants reported compassion satisfaction and burnout levels as average and secondary traumatic stress levels as high. The composite average for all 6 AACN healthy work environment standards was good. A multiple regression analysis revealed true collaboration, effective decision-making, and authentic leadership as significant predictors of compassion satisfaction. Authentic leadership was the only predictor of burnout. Appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, and authentic leadership were predictors of secondary traumatic stress.

Conclusion

Authentic leadership is the strongest predictor of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Therefore, improving leadership should be a priority in intensive care units seeking to improve nurses’ professional quality of life.
Defining a “Good Death” in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Broden Elizabeth G. , Deatrick Janet , Ulrich Connie , Curley Martha A.Q.
Published: March 2020

Background

Societal attitudes about end-of-life events are at odds with how, where, and when children die. In addition, parents’ ideas about what constitutes a “good death” in a pediatric intensive care unit vary widely.

Objective

To synthesize parents’ perspectives on end-of-life care in the pediatric intensive care unit in order to define the characteristics of a good death in this setting from the perspectives of parents.

Methods

A concept analysis was conducted of parents’ views of a good death in the pediatric intensive care unit. Empirical studies of parents who had experienced their child’s death in the inpatient setting were identified through database searches.

Results

The concept analysis allowed the definition of antecedents, attributes, and consequences of a good death. Empirical referents and exemplar cases of care of a dying child in the pediatric intensive care unit serve to further operationalize the concept.

Conclusions

Conceptual knowledge of what constitutes a good death from a parent’s perspective may allow pediatric nurses to care for dying children in a way that promotes parents’ coping with bereavement and continued bonds and memories of the deceased child. The proposed conceptual model synthesizes characteristics of a good death into actionable attributes to guide bedside nursing care of the dying child.
The value of a short practical training course for newly qualified therapists working with children with cerebral palsy in South Africa
Authors: Bakuwa Takondwa C. , Pilusa Sonti , Saloojee Gillian
Published: February 2020

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common and most complex disabling disorder in children. Newly qualified therapists are expected to manage CP despite feeling inexperienced and inadequately prepared. Short postgraduate practical training courses could potentially help bridge this readiness gap. However, the value of these short courses in addressing the knowledge and experience gap is unknown.Objectives: To establish the value of a short practical training course on the self-perceived readiness of newly qualified South African trained therapists to work with children with CP.Method: Secondary analysis of records on therapists’ immediate evaluation of a short practical training course on CP management was completed. The analysis included records from 11 courses collected over a 2-years period (2015–2017). Paired t-tests were used to determine the change in knowledge in the quantitative questionnaire. Qualitative data were analysed inductively to determine themes.Results: The majority of therapists had their expectations met by the course. Therapists’ self-perceived level of knowledge about various aspects of CP after the course changed significantly. Therapists appreciated the adult teaching and learning methods, conducive learning environment, the relevant and organised content and holistic approach of the course. They demonstrated readiness to adopt positive attitudes, perceptions and practice following the course.Conclusion: A short practical postgraduate training course in CP is valuable in addressing the self-perceived lack of readiness amongst therapists with little experience in this area. It is capable of improving the knowledge and changing attitudes, perceptions and practice intentions positively, and thereby potentially improving the quality of service offered to children with CP.
South African hearing conservation programmes in the context of tele-audiology: A scoping review
Authors: Khoza-Shangase Katijah , Moroe Nomfundo
Published: February 2020

Background: The limited involvement of audiologists in occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) management through hearing conservation programmes (HCPs) is a global issue. In low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries such as South Africa, this is also exacerbated by demand versus capacity challenges. Tele-audiology is an option requiring serious deliberation by the audiology community within HCPs in LAMI contexts.Objectives: This scoping review explores if tele-audiology has a potential value in HCPs and reviews what has been documented in the literature on the use of tele-audiology in HCPs.Method: A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O’Malley’s framework. A search was conducted in five electronic bibliographic databases including Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus Medline, ProQuest and Google Scholar and the grey literature to identify publications presenting considerations around tele-audiology in the implementation of HCPs.Results: Findings revealed significant dearth of evidence specific to the use or application of tele-audiology in ONIHL and/or HCPs both within the African context and internationally, despite the purported potential benefit of this service delivery model, particularly in resource-constrained contexts such as LAMI countries. Of the publications deemed potentially relevant to this scoping review, none were found that specifically investigated or addressed the use of tele-audiology in ONIHL or HCPs as their main objective. Nuanced analysis of publications revealed that in the last decade, indication for potential growth in the use of tele-audiology within occupational audiology is indicated.Conclusion: Because of the significant demand versus capacity challenges in LAMI countries, and because of the need for scaling up audiology professionals’ management of HCPs, careful consideration of teleaudiology as a platform to deliver services in these contexts is required.
Recent advances in hearing conservation programmes: A systematic review
Authors: Moroe Nomfundo F. , Khoza-Shangase Katijah
Published: February 2020

Background: Current evidence from low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries, such as South Africa, indicates that occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) continues to be a health and safety challenge for the mining industry. There is also evidence of hearing conservation programmes (HCPs) being implemented with limited success.Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore and document current evidence reflecting recent advances in HCPs in order to identify gaps within the South African HCPs.Method: A systematic literature review was conducted in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. Electronic databases including Sage, Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus MEDLINE, ProQuest and Google Scholar were searched for potential studies published in English between 2010 and 2019 reporting on recent advances in HCPs within the mining industry.Results: The study findings revealed a number of important recent advances internationally, which require deliberation for possible implementation within the South African HCPs context. These advances have been presented under seven themes: (1) the use of metrics, (2) pharmacological interventions and hair cell regeneration, (3) artificial neural network, (4) audiology assessment measures, (5) noise monitoring advances, (6) conceptual approaches to HCPs and (7) buying quiet.Conclusion: The study findings raise important advances that may have significant implications for HCPs in LAMI countries where ONIHL remains a highly prevalent occupational health challenge. Establishing feasibility and efficacy of these advances in these contexts to ensure contextual relevance and responsiveness is one of the recommendations to facilitate the success of HCPs targets.

Multicultural Musicscape for National Pride: Performing Arts of East-Asian Diasporas in Hawai‘i before WWI
Authors: Choi Heeyoung
Published: March 2020

This study investigates stage performances of Asian immigrants in the U.S., focusing their cultural interactions in Hawai‘i prior to World War II. Previous studies of Asians in the U.S. during the early twentieth century have focused on their separate ways of preserving homeland culture or presentation of mainstream American culture to express a sense of belonging to the host society and relieve anti-Asian sentiments. Despite increasing cultural interactions in cities during this period, the discussion of cultural exchanges among immigrant communities have received limited attention. This study expands previous perspectives by examining the performing arts to demonstrate that diverse multicultural events in Hawai‘i were important tools to promote respective Asian ethnic groups’ cultural identities, foster interactions among young adults of Asian ancestry, and inspire their national pride. The Asian diasporas in Hawai‘i constituting a majority of the local population, despite foreign-born Asian immigrants’ limited access to U.S. citizenship, appreciated opportunities to curate their own ethnicity on stages and culturally interact with other ethnic groups. The multicultural experiences ultimately instilled the satisfaction and national pride into the young adults of Asian ancestry.
Exploring Pre-service Teachers’ Perception of Interactional Activities in Lesson Planning
Authors: A. Njika Justina,
Published: February 2020

With the plethoric number of students in Cameroonian classrooms today, there is a common cry from teachers about the impracticability of creating interactional language lessons in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. The implication of this is that, if interactional lessons have been identified as cardinal in the process of language learning, our learners are not or are less likely to be learning English as a foreign language. This paper holds that no teacher will be able to create interactive lessons if they do not fully understand what it is and how it works. The paper therefore investigates student teachers’ perception of interaction on a less theoretical stance to posit that their readiness to teach is governed by their perception of the concept of interaction and an understanding of how it works. Data were collected from two batches of 30 pre-students students from the Department of English at ENS Yaounde in 2018 and 2019. Upon completion of three semesters that qualify them to do practicum, they were asked to submit language lessons meant for interactive classrooms. The lessons were coded identifying trends related to interactive activities and later classified. Evidence from the data demonstrates significant recourse to previous learning culture of top-bottom lessons and high incidences of question–and-answer as a dominant pattern of interaction. In keeping with this, the paper questions the training approaches and argues that the inability of pre-service teachers to demonstrate practical understanding of classroom interaction is counterproductive to what potentially holds as language learning and that modules of training which allow teachers to seek patterns would be more productive than those which train them on classroom interaction.
Perceptions of Rehabilitation Coordinators on Health Information System for Rehabilitation Services in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Radebe Samkelwe Z. , Dlungwane Thembelihle P.
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: A health information system (HIS) is crucial for the planning and management of health services. A HIS provides evidence for programme and policy decisions to ensure better population health outcomes. A HIS aims to improve data collection and handling to extract valuable information thus providing quality health services. Rehabilitation therapists in health facilities in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) collect data for the monitoring and evaluation of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation departments in different health facilities have designed data collection tools that are suitable for their institutions, resulting in inconsistency in what is collected across the province of KZN. The study seeks to explore the perceptions of rehabilitation coordinators concerning appropriate indicators for planning and monitoring rehabilitation services in health facilities in KZN.

METHODS: An exploratory qualitative approach was used. Data was collected through face-to-face in-depth interviews with rehabilitation coordinators who were employed in provincial and district offices in the KZN Department of Health in 2018. Interviews were conducted from June 2018 through September 2018. Each interview was audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis was implemented.

RESULTS: The participants highlighted that community outreach, access to multiple assistive devices and discipline specific indicators are appropriate for monitoring rehabilitation services. In addition, integration of rehabilitation indicators with priority programmes such as HIV and TB should be considered.

CONCLUSION: Rehabilitation coordinators conceptualise the current indicators as limited and insufficient. Rehabilitation indicators should be have linkages with other programmes and reflect the multiple disciplines that fall within rehabilitation services.

D-Optimal Slope Design for Second Degree Kronecker Model Mixture Experiment With Three Ingredients
Authors: Kung’u Ngigi Peter , Koske J. K. Arap , Kinyanjui Josphat K.
Published: February 2020

This study presents an investigation of an optimal slope design in the second degree Kronecker model for mixture experiments in three dimensions. The study is restricted to weighted centroid designs, with the second degree Kronecker model. A well-defined coefficient matrix is used to select a maximal parameter subsystem for the model since its full parameter space is inestimable. The information matrix of the design is obtained using a linear function of the moment matrices for the centroids and directly linked to the slope matrix. The discussion is based on Kronecker product algebra which clearly reflects the symmetries of the simplex experimental region. Eventually the matrix means are used in determining optimal values of the efficient developed design.

China as a Global Destination for International Students
Authors: Wei Gao , Lin Wang , Jingdong Yan , Yanxiong Wu
Published: February 2020

This qualitative study aimed to explore the reasons why China has become a global destination for international students. Recently, the enrollment of International Students has increased at Chinese Universities. The study aims to understand why such International Students from Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan choose to study in China for tertiary education rather than studying in any US or European Universities. To conclude the study, a mixed-method research methodology was used by using focus group discussions and descriptive statistics from two different surveys. The research establishes that the maximum of the international students have chosen China as their study destination is because of safety and security at the campus, proximity with their homeland, low cost of education and accommodation, and a strong perception of prospective job opportunities upon completion of their degrees. The study suggested that Chinese Universities can initiate different plans/ schemes in attracting international students from different countries of the world.

The aim of this study is to shed light on the socio- political effects of the Syrian refugee crisis on Jordan. The study tackles the socio political impact of the flow of hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees to Jordan during the past nine years.

The study is based on a mixed approach, the descriptive and the historical. The results of the study show that the Syrian refugee crisis has politically and socially affected Jordan negatively. What makes matters worse and deepens the effects of the crisis in Jordan is the inability of the successive governments to deal strategically with the crisis. The study concluded with some suggested recommendations that may mitigate the negative impact of the crisis on Jordan.

De positie van de niet-begeleide minderjarige vreemdeling binnen de hervorming van het Europees asielstelsel

De positie van de niet-begeleide minderjarige vreemdeling binnen de hervorming van het Europees asielstelsel

De grote toestroom van migranten en asielzoekers in de EU houdt vandaag nog steeds verschillende regelgevers wakker. Niet alleen de nationale overheden, maar ook de EU-regelgevers zoeken naarstig naar oplossingen voor de problematiek. Daartoe trachten de EU-regelgevers het Gemeenschappelijk Europees Asielstelsel (GEAS) bij te werken.

Binnen de groep migranten en asielzoekers bestaat een specifiek kwetsbaar individu: de niet-begeleide minderjarige vreemdeling (NBMV). Hij is zowel vreemdeling als kind en kreeg reeds ruime aandacht binnen de rechtsleer. Nochtans werd deze aandacht niet altijd weerspiegeld in de EU-wetgeving. Het lijkt alsof hij door de regelgevers af en toe uit het oog verloren werd.

Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat de EU-regelgevers nog een zekere weg te gaan hebben. In de eerste plaats bestaat er wat betreft het geheel aan regels met betrekking tot de NBMV weinig coherentie. De EU-regelgevers zouden bijvoorbeeld meer duidelijkheid kunnen scheppen door een uniforme methode vast te leggen voor de bepaling van de leeftijd van de NBMV. Hetzelfde geldt voor een verduidelijking van de notie ‘het belang van het kind’ binnen asiel en migratie. Verder blijken de Dublinoverdrachten en de vrijheidsontneming van de NBMV nog steeds gevoelige pijnpunten. Hier en daar moet aan de hervorming van het asielstelsel nog wat gesleuteld worden, zodat de rechten van de NBMV optimaal beschermd kunnen worden.

Today, the large influx of migrants and asylum seekers into the European Union (EU) keeps several regulators awake. Not only national authorities, but EU regulators too are diligently searching for solutions to the problems. To this end, EU regulators are seeking to update the Common European Asylum System (CEAS).

There is however a particularly vulnerable individual within the group of migrants and asylum seekers: the unaccompanied alien minor (UAM). These minors already received a great deal of attention within legal doctrine. However, this attention was not always reflected in EU legislation. It seems as if UAM are occasionally lost from sight by the regulators.

This article shows that the EU regulators still have a certain way to go. First, there is little coherence in the set of rules relating to the UAM. The EU regulators could, for example, create more clarity by laying down a uniform method for determining the age of the UAM. The same applies to a clarification of the notion of 'best interests of the child' within the context of asylum and migration. Second, the proposal for a new Dublin Regulation and the proposal for a new Reception Conditions Directive still appear to be sensitive. Here and there, the reform of the asylum system still needs adjustments, so that the rights of UAM can be optimally protected."
V2O5 as magnesium cathode material with extended cyclic stability

In this work, the electrochemical performance of aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposited vanadium pentoxide cathodes at 600 °C, is presented. The as-grown oxides indicate specific discharge capacity of 300 mA h g-1 with capacity retention of 92 % after 10000 scans, coulombic efficiency of 100 %, noble structural stability and high reversibility. The present study shows the possibility to grow large-area magnesium cathode material with extended cycle stability via utilization of an aqueous electrolyte under a corrosive environment. This enhanced performance may be a combination of electrode morphology and adherence, when compared to previous work employing electrode growth temperature at 500 °C.
The Two Views of Renaissance Philosophy
Authors: Bayer Thora Ilin ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2020

In the study of the history of philosophy, there is a long-standing question as to whether works produced between the mid-fourteenth century and the end of the sixteenth century, the Renaissance, can be rightly understood as philosophy or as primarily literary and rhetorical in character. The latter view is prominently held by Paul Oskar Kristeller but has precedent in Hegel’s treatment of this period in his History of Philosophy. That the works of major figures of this period are essentially philosophical is a view held, in quite different ways, by Ernst Cassirer and Ernesto Grassi. This essay examines the origin and nature of these views and advances a general perspective through which they may be brought together.
Can We Learn about Real Social Worlds from Fictional Ones?
Authors: Jones Todd ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2020

It is very common for social scientists to be asked whether their findings about human nature could also be learned from reading great works of literature. Literature teachers frequently assign readings partly to teach people important truths about the world. But it is unclear how looking at a work of fiction can tell us about the real world at all. In this paper I carefully examine questions about the conditions under which the fictional world can teach us about the real world.
Correlation between parliamentarism and the constitutional principle of democracy
Authors: Oleynik Irina Ivanovna
Published: February 2020

Problems associated with the development of parliamentarism and democracy are fundamental and mostly are of polemical character. In legal science, meticulous attention is given to revelation of the essence and categorical analysis of these institutions. The theoretical-legal substantiation of their organic interrelation is being developed to a far lesser degree. The article analyzes the views of researchers upon the representative nature of legislative power, determines its place within the system of popular representation, and describes the meaning of electoral legal relations as a source of correlation between parliamentarism and democracy. The author proves that consensual declaration of will expressed by the representative legislative authority in its bills, is intended to be the permanent, legal, objectified representation of will and interest of the people. Critical assessment is given to the current state of Russian parliamentarism, which represents a dynamically development state legal institution. A conclusion is substantiated that without efficient functionality of the national mechanism of parliamentarism, the full implementation of the constitutional principle of democracy in Russian is impossible.

This article explores the key stages of the development of U.S. policy with regards to Arctic Region. The goal is set to outline the fundamental interests of the United States in the Arctic, as well as analyze the actions aimed at their achievement. The article examines the main priorities in U.S. Arctic policy, namely the protection and preservation of resources and ecosystem in the Arctic Region, scientific study of climatic changes, peculiarities of economic development of Alaska, and national security interests of the state. The questions of interaction of Arctic states with regards to defense cooperation become increasingly relevant. Consideration of the mid-term and long-term prospects of U.S. Arctic policy allowed the author focusing attention on the news aspects of U.S. government actions. Maritime capabilities of the United States in the Arctic waters are views in the context of modern tendencies. The author attempted to trace the prospects for expansion of U.S. influence in the Arctic Region based on the current agenda of 2019.
Designing the special pilot economic zone on peatlands

Peatland restoration projects in tropical countries could prevent environmental disasters such as peat fires. In Indonesia, one of peatland restoration activities is the revitalization of the livelihoods of communities around peatlands. Nevertheless, this activity is still lacking in reducing the environmental pressures from the communities on peatland. We aim to find a comprehensive strategy to design a sustainable bioeconomy on peatlands. This study draws on spatial, qualitative, and quantitative data from the literature, project and policy documents, open-source web application, observations from the field and meetings; and interviews with key stakeholders at national level and three Indonesian provinces. We found that an ecosystem-based special pilot economic zone (SPEZ) is a potential proposal that can provide a framework for a sustainable peatland bioeconomy. We suggests seven phases for planning and implementation of the SPEZ; 1. Preparing its spatial planning to support its legal aspects; 2. Field observation to derive biophysical information of the location and determining peatland suitability; 3. Identifying target group, paludiculture commodities and alternative livelihoods; 4. Analyzing the value chain, market demand and conducting a cost-benefit analysis; 5. Natural capital accounting; 6. Designing social innovation to trigger investment and market chain; and 7. Community engagement. From our study in Riau, South Sumatra, and Central Kalimantan, each of the phase present different challenges and opportunities especially in terms of regulation for land permit, institutional arrangement, market chain for peat products, remuneration of external benefits, and perception and capacity of community for cultivation on peat.

Keywords: Livelihood, peatland, paludiculture, special pilot economic zone, Indonesia.

One of the ways to observe the hotspot created by forest fires in Indonesia is through Remote sensing imagery, such as MODIS, NOAA AVHRR, etc. Central Kalimantan is one of the areas in Indonesia with the highest hotspot data. In this research, MODIS FIRMS hotspot data in Central Kalimantan collected from 2017 – 2019, covering 13 districts: South Barito, East Barito, North Barito, Mount Mas, Kapuas, Katingan, Palangkaraya City, West Kotawaringin, East Kotawaringin, Lamandau, Murung Raya, Pulang Pisau, Seruyan, and Sukamara. That is four aspects that this research evaluated: 1) evaluating the spatial pattern using the Nearest Neighbor Analysis (NNA); 2) evaluate the hotspot density appearance using Kernel Density; and 3) correlation analysis between rainfall data and MODIS FIRMS. As a result, the hotspot in Central Kalimantan shows a clustered pattern. While the natural breaks KDE algorithm shows the most relevant result to represent the hotspot distribution. Finally, the hotspot is low correlated with rainfall; however, is see that most of the hotspot (~90%) appeared in low rainfall month (less than 3000 mm/month).
