Repurposing RDA’s Descriptive Standards to Facilitate Humanities Research: Making a Case for Howard University’s “Portal to the Black Experience” and Similar Neotraditional Research Tools
Authors: Kronemer Seth M. , Sulavik Andrew T.
Published: April 2017

Research institutions are challenging academic librarians and archivists to develop new tools and services that aid in the traditional, essential tasks of research. Prototypical tools combining structured biographical information with modern cyber-infrastructure have been developed to help humanities researchers identify relationships between individuals and connections between individuals and their institutional affiliations, race, gender, and published works. Such tools promote the research task of “chaining” and support prosopography. They also advance the notion that an integral activity of academic librarians and archivists should be to develop innovative discovery platforms that support traditional research methodologies conducted in new digital environments.
Exploration of Library Outreach to Nontraditional Students
Authors: Tieman Andria L. , Black Megan E.
Published: April 2017

In 1976, Malcolm Knowles, known for his research on adult education and learning, predicted that the library would become, “the most rapidly expanding educational institution of all in [the United States],”1 regarding working with nontraditional students. His prediction has not come to fruition. In fact, there was little published regarding librarians supporting adult students from the mid-1980s until 2000, when librarian Dorothy S. Ingram published “The Andragogical Librarian,” and 2010, with the publication of researcher Nicole Cooke’s article, “Becoming an Andragogical Librarian: Using Library Instruction to Combat Library Anxiety and Empower Adult Learners,” published in 2010. The literature consulted includes research focused on adult education in academia, library anxiety, and library literacy for nontraditional students, spanning from the mid-1970s through the present day. Nontraditional students at Providence College range in age from their twenties through eighties; therefore we did not include research that exclusively looks at library instruction for students who are age fifty-five and older returning to higher education. Providence College’s School for Continuing Education works with students who meet in a traditional classroom or blended online and classroom settings, and the library currently works exclusively with face-to-face classes, so research that focuses on online students or distance students was not included in the literature scan. We also excluded research that focuses on outreach to graduate students as they have different needs and experiences than students seeking bachelor’s degrees.
Sources: Becoming a Media Mentor: A Guide for Working with Children and Families
Authors: Jordan Joshua
Published: April 2017

Librarians wishing to provide materials for youth and families increasingly find themselves in the role of media mentor. Media mentors don’t just know what books to suggest for children, they also know which learning apps, DVDs, databases, websites, programming, and other new media will be most beneficial for the child. The breadth of content available to families can often be overwhelming. Effective media mentors help families sift through the noise to find the highest-quality media—in whatever form it may take. In short, the media mentor is a content expert who relies on the context of the interaction and the individual child to help inform families’ healthy media decisions. Together these “3 Cs” guide the media mentor in theory and practice.
Book Review: Being Evidence Based in Library and Information Practice
Authors: Lacy Meagan
Published: April 2017

As a response to Booth and Brice’s foundational work, Evidence-Based Practice for Information Professionals: A Handbook (2004), Koufogiannakis and Brettle present a new model of evidence-based practice that is both more realistic and more tailored to library and information professionals’ work.
Book Review: Characters on the Couch: Exploring Psychology through Literature and Film
Authors: Imhof Robin
Published: April 2017

Inspired by what appears to be a growing trend for training mental health care professionals, the author (Dean A. Haycock, a freelance science and medical writer) conceived of this work as a resource guide to help students assess psychological conditions and psychiatric disorders using fictional characters drawn from literature and film. The entries contain 101 profiles of mostly well-known fictional characters found in novels, novellas, short stories, plays, poems, graphic novels, comic books, and films. The characters’ psychological profiles are highlighted by using key quotes to demonstrate their particular disorder. For example, the diagnosis of Dorian Gray in Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray from his uttering, “How sad it is! I shall grow old and horrible, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. . . . If only it were the other way!” (134) indicates that his most defining trait is (surprise!) narcissism. Charlie Brown, from the comic strip Peanuts, with his declaration, “My anxieties have anxieties” (146) is evidently a neurotic with avoidant personality disorder, and so forth. It may be helpful for the non-specialist to know that the arrangement of the selections in the “Mental and Personality Disorders” subdivision is presented in the order found in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and that the six “Positive Psychological Traits” are those identified by Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman in their pioneering work in the field of positive psychology.
Book Review: Endangered Species: A Documentary and Reference Guide
Authors: Muskiewicz Marion S.
Published: April 2017

This volume details the important items in the development of the concept of endangered species, from John Locke to the current problems of the twenty-first century. Excerpts from more than fifty different significant documents appear, in roughly chronological order. The scope covers more than just endangered animals and plants, with related discussions on such items as water rights, utilitarianism, outdoor recreation, and climate change. Each chapter consists of the relevant sections of an essential document in the development of endangered species policy. Quotations from essays, actual congressional bills, speeches to Congress, executive orders and Supreme Court cases are among the featured items. Not all are easy to understand, especially the court cases, with their many case references. Each quoted item is followed by a one-page analysis explaining why the selection is considered noteworthy, as well as a brief list of further reading. Occasional “Did You Know” sidebars, briefly summarizing a particular problem that pertains to the subject of the chapter, provide clarifying information and/or examples. A small number of unindexed black and white illustrations seem to have been added as an afterthought, almost at random.
Book Review: Explorers of the American West: Mapping the World through Primary Documents
Authors: Edscorn Steven R.
Published: April 2017

Buckley and Nokes have brought together a thoughtful selection of primary sources from the early explorers of the American West, organized around famous expeditions of explorers such as Lewis and Clark, Stephen Long, and John Wesley Powell. Each chapter includes a biography of the explorer featured in the chapter, and approximately ten selected excerpts of primary sources that usually run a page or two in length. Each excerpt has an introductory paragraph that provides historical context for the excerpt, and a few paragraphs of analysis that go beyond summarization and point toward the historical significance of the primary texts.
Book Review: Pop Culture in Asia and Oceania
Authors: Whatley Edward
Published: April 2017

Pop Culture in Asia and Oceania provides readers with a broad but surprisingly detailed overview of popular culture in Asia (excluding the Middle East), Australia, and New Zealand. Though the geographic focus of coverage may be somewhat narrow, the forms of pop culture covered in the single volume are quite varied and reveal a rich cultural tapestry that may be unfamiliar to many Western readers. Pop culture is of course intended for mass consumption, and the mediums and entertainments covered in Pop Culture in Asia and Oceania reflect that intent. They include: popular music, books and contemporary literature, film, television, radio, Internet and social media, sports, video games, fashion, and couture.
La construcción social de la homoparentalidad: ámbito académico, medios de comunicación y ámbito profesional-legislativo
Authors: Domínguez de la Rosa Laura , Montalbán Peregrín Francisco Manuel
Published: April 2017

This work aims to analyze the discursive strategies from which we are constructing the phenomenon of gay and lesbian parenting in different public scopes , such as: academic, media and  law field. We use a qualitative research method, specifically, the discourse analysis as Potter and Wetherell propose concerning interpretive repertoires. Thus, we can see that defensive standardization strategies are favoured against the risk of homophobia and the attacks on the family diversity.

There is a risk of confusing resources and experiences that could contribute to a richer collective construction of the phenomenon, reflecting its progress on the legislative, social and political field.
Jóvenes pertenecientes a grupos violentos en la Comunidad de Madrid. Modelo psicosocial procesual sobre el inicio y la evolución de la conducta violenta identitaria
Authors: Martín María-Jesús , Martínez José-Manuel , Aramayona Begoña , García-Sánchez Rubén , Almendros Carmen , Jiménez Cristina
Published: April 2017

The qualitative research about out-group violence has examined different aspects of this social problem, but the evolution of violent groups has only been approached tangentially. This research analyses the discourses of 124 interviews done with youth from Madrid that belong to violent groups. Describe the interpretation made by young people and identifies variables and psychosocial processes to generate and explore a psychosocial model that attempts to describe the constitution and evolution of this behavior. The strategy of theory generation was applied (first 71 interviews) and afterwards, the method of analytic induction (following 53 interviews) to allow the validation of the identified model. The resulting method proposes that the upsurge of violent groups depends on the previous socialisation focused on three factors: milieu, opportunities and basic socialising processes. The evolution and involution of violent groups would depend on the interaction between the personal and social identities of its members.
How Do Students Shift from Task-Related to Task-Unrelated Thoughts?
Authors: Kuldas Seffetullah , Hashim Shahabuddin , Ismail Hairul Nizam
Published: April 2017

Although a growing body of psychological research shows that students’ unconscious thought processes can be task-related, educational research has yet to provide empirical evidence for this relation in a classroom learning context. Educational literature is also inconclusive as to whether students consciously or unconsciously engage in task-unrelated thoughts. A key issue arising from this indistinctness is whether task-unrelated thoughts facilitate or inhibit learning and task performance when students consciously and when unconsciously shift their attention away from task-related thoughts. This review aims to enhance understanding of how students shift from task-related to task-unrelated thoughts. The review presents a wide range of evidence for how the shift happens unconsciously rather than consciously. The unconscious shift as a result of students’ negative emotions can inhibit rather than facilitate learning processes. Further evidence is necessary for the required educational research on how the shift in students’ thoughts happens within the classroom.

Authors: Betanzos-Diaz Norma , Rodríguez-Loredo Cynthia Shugey , Paz-Rodríguez Francisco
Published: April 2017

A questionnaire for measuring commitment in its normative dimension, based on reciprocity and responsibility as value to the work where a link to the organization based on loyalty of workers set was developed. An initial 30 item bank, built and reviewed with rigorous criteria were applied to a sample of 298 employees in a departament store chain (168 women, 56.4%, 130 men), aged between 18 and 65 (M = 32.5, SD = 9.6) years and schooling Baccalaureate (199, 67.8%). The seniority ranging from 1 to 34 years (M = 4.4 years, SD = 5.7). Using exploratory factor analysis with 28 items two factors explaining 45.1% of variance was identified: the first known loyalty-reciprocity; and the second compliance-responsibility. Reliability analysis indicated adequate internal consistency, α = .88. Concurrent validity was assessed by Pearson correlation with Organizational Commitment Questionnaire and Scale Values to Work. The results indicated that the dimensions of the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire Standards may be an option to assess this construct.

The non-randomized sample of convenience included 208 participants, 104 of them were adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years, studying in different high schools, and 104 family members considered to be significant by the teenagers. EAT-26, ECA, Family APGAR, FEICS, and BMI were applied, all validated for the Colombian population. As a result of the multivariate analysis, it was found that the high risk of developing behavioral disorders in young people is related to high risk in their relatives; the article concludes that parents, in addition to playing a protective role, may represent a risk factor for the eating behavior of their children, given that children model their behavior on their parents from early childhood.
El liderazgo transformacional y la confianza como antecedentes del desempeño en equipo en el ámbito sanitario
Authors: Olvera-Calderón Juana , LLorens-Gumbau Susana , Acosta-Antognoni Hedy , Salanova-Soria Marisa
Published: April 2017

The present study analyzes the mediator role of work-team trust (i.e., horizontal trust) in the relationship between transformational leadership, as a social resource, and team performance (i.e., intra- and extra-role performance), as suggested by the HERO model (HEalthy & Resilient Organizations Model; Salanova, Llorens, Cifre, & Martínez, 2012). The sample corresponds to 388 workers nested in 54 work teams from four organizations in the healthcare sector. Horizontal trust and transformational leadership were assessed by the work teams, and performance was assessed by the supervisors of these teams. Structural Equations models reveal, as expected, that horizontal trust has a fully mediating role between transformational leadership perceived at the team level and team performance assessed by the supervisor.

A comparative study of groups and their composition over the five-year periods 2004-2008 and 2009-2013 was performed. The results indicated that there is an increase in the number of researchers and research groups working in the field of educational psychology, which is accompanied by an increase in the number of items, although in some cases the increase in the number of members in the group does not correspond to a significant increase in scientific production. It is noticeable the incorporation of a greater number of Spanish journals in the Web of Science, as are those that concentrate most of the scientific production in this discipline and are responsible to influence growth in the foundation data from the Web of Science of the Spanish scientific production in educational psychology.
What are the most representative warning signs of intimate partner violence against adolescent girls?
Authors: Nardi-Rodríguez Ainara , Pastor-Mira María-Ángeles , López-Roig Sofía , Ferrer-Pérez Victoria Aurora
Published: April 2017

Identifying which warning signs (WS) of intimate partner violence against girls (IPV) must be included in prevention programs is essential, since there is not an explicit consensus. Our first aim was identifying the most frequent WS included in the reviewed Spanish prevention guides by means of a content analysis performed independently by three judges.  Our second aim was subjecting these to a sample of adolescents (n=60) to know: (1) if they identify them as abusive behaviours; (2) how frequently do they consider they have to occur to be WS, and; (3) how frequently they observe them in their peer environment. Among the 23 identified WS, controlling (n=11) and devaluating behaviours (n=6) are the most frequent in the reviewed literature and the formers´ the most observed in the adolescents’ environment (rank: 52.5% - 90%).  The majority labelled the 23 behaviours as abusive.  Four controlling and 3 devaluating behaviours had to occur very often to be an IPV warning sign. Therefore their tolerance to these WS is high.  The outcomes are valuable for the development of prevention programs and suggest the need of investigating on the explanatory factors of such tolerance.

Results obtained show the emotions and feelings arising within the family circles when other communication problems between the different environments where these children interact are added up to the functional diversity; professional experts in many contexts need to provide resources to respond to these necessities and requests originated by these children and their families. The resulting data underline the importance of the intervention used to enhance the attribution of competencies that capacitates families and neutralizes the attributions generating stress situations to finally find the most autonomous solutions to these issues. Reflections provided by professionals show the importance of knowing better the necessities of these children and their families for them to provide an efficient collaboration during the resource-finding process.

In addition, we analyze and compare the results offered by the four programs when factor analyzing empirical data from scales that fit the assumptions of the classic linear EFA modeling adequately, ambiguously, or optimally, depending on the case, through the possibilities the different programs offer. The results of the comparison show the consequences of choosing one program or another; and the consequences of selecting some options or others within the same program, depending on the nature of the data. Finally, the study offers practical recommendations for applied researchers with a methodological orientation.

Authors: Gueterres Évilin Costa , Rosa Elisa De Oliveira , Da Silveira Andressa , Dos Santos Wendel Mombaque
Published: April 2017

Educación para la salud se considera un medio muy importante para ampliar los conocimientos y prácticas relacionadas con conductas saludables de los individuos. Así, el estudio tiene como objetivo caracterizar las producciones científicas y describir el trabajo de las enfermeras en las prácticas de educación en salud en la escuela. Es una revisión integradora de la literatura en las bases LILACS y BDENF. A través de los criterios de inclusión se seleccionaron 20 artículos que respondieron a la pregunta: ¿cómo la enfermera actúa en las prácticas de educación para la salud en el contexto escolar? Los resultados emergieron tres categorías para el análisis: "Educación para la salud y la cuestión de la salud pública en la escuela", "Enfermería y educación para la salud en la escuela" y        "Medidas adoptadas en el ámbito escolar." A partir de 2010 se produjo un aumento significativo de publicaciones, estudios predominantemente con un enfoque cualitativo. Con todo, se percibe la complejidad de las prácticas de educación para la salud en el entorno escolar y la debilidad existente en publicaciones científicas sobre la inclusión de las enfermeras en la escuela.

Authors: García-Padilla Francisca María , Gonzalez-Rodriguez Angustias , Martos-Cerezuela Ildefonso , Liébana Fernández José Luis , Melo Salor Juan Antonio
Published: April 2017

Fundamento: El análisis del contexto ambiental es imprescindible para estudiar las prácticas alimentarias en adolescentes. Se describen las prácticas alimentarias durante la jornada escolar del alumnado usuario de los comercios de alimentos circundantes a los centros de educación secundaria en Andalucía y las características de los mismos.

Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, sobre una muestra de 8068 estudiantes y 95 centros de secundaria. Muestreo aleatorio polietápico por conglomerado: estratificado por provincia y tamaño de hábitat y sistemático por aulas. El tipo de establecimiento, oferta alimentaria, distancia y visualización desde el centro y demanda del alumnado se realizó mediante observación directa y entrevistas, y las características socio-demográficas y las prácticas alimentarias a través de cuestionario.

Resultados: Los centros tienen establecimientos cercanos con oferta alimentaria dirigida al alumnado (72,63%). Predominan bares y cafeterías (55), tiendas de comestibles (54) y quioscos de chucherías (23). La oferta de chucherías, bollería y bocadillos se constata en todos los establecimientos. El 25,73% del alumnado compra su merienda escolar en estos comercios, encontrando relaciones significativas en el consumo de golosinas y paquetes de fritos envasados frente al alumnado que no sale del instituto durante la hora del recreo.

Conclusiones: El número y las características de la oferta de los establecimientos circundantes a los centros educativos obligan a profundizar en la influencia sobre las prácticas alimentarias del alumnado para establecer medidas de salud pública que controlen la oferta insalubre detectada.

Authors: Lanau-Roig Anna , Fabrellas Núria , Sáez-Rubio Gema , Wilson Kate
Published: April 2017

 Objetivo: Determinar el tiempo medio de cicatrización de las heridas crónicas, así como su prevalencia e incidencia.

Método: Estudio retrospectivo transversal en el ámbito de atención primaria de Barcelona ciudad, con una población de 15.589 habitantes mayores de 15 años. El periodo de estudio fue de 1 de enero a 31 de diciembre de 2013. Se recogió información sobre la etiología de las heridas crónicas y el tiempo necesario para su cicatrización.

Resultados: Fueron localizados 416 registros de lesiones de los cuales el 10,33% pertenecían a heridas crónicas. La mediana de duración fue de 152 días y la media de 311 días, siendo las úlceras por presión las de mayor duración. Se observó una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05) entre la media de duración de las heridas atendidas en el centro de salud y las atendidas a domicilio. La prevalencia fue del 0,28% y la incidencia del 0,24%, las lesiones con mayor prevalencia e incidencia fueron las úlceras venosas.

Conclusiones: El tiempo de curación depende del tipo de herida y del lugar de atención. La mayor prevalencia e incidencia se da en úlceras de extremidad inferior.
Índice de vulnerabilidad al VIH en población habitante de calle

Published: April 2017

Objetivo. Se reconoce que las vulnerabilidades sociales tienden a ocurrir con el VIH, pero pocos estudios han tratado de medir la vulnerabilidad al VIH y no se logra identificar en la literatura la unificación frente al concepto y la manera de operativizarlo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar un índice de vulnerabilidad, y su relación con la infección por VIH en población habitante de calle de la ciudad de Medellín

Material y método. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con 338 habitantes de calle de Medellín utilizando el muestreo de tiempo y lugar. En la construcción del índice se realizó un análisis factorial de tipo exploratorio y un análisis factorial confirmatorio.  

Resultados. Se identificaron cuatro factores que explicaron el 50,49% de la varianza. Se encontró que la población con alta vulnerabilidad al VIH tenía cinco veces el riesgo de tener VIH, esta asociación fue ajustada por variables sociodemográficas de edad, sexo, estado civil y nivel de escolaridad.

Conclusiones. Se propone un índice de vulnerabilidad al VIH, el cual se definió como la reducción de la capacidad de anticiparse (conocimientos y creencias erróneas), resistirse (prácticas sexuales y consumo de drogas) y recuperarse (apoyo social y rechazo). Lo cual  limita la capacidad para acceder a servicios de prevención, atención, y apoyo al VIH.

El presente estudio de corte psicométrico, tuvo como objetivo analizar la estructura factorial y la consistencia interna versión en español del cuestionario Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) en población colombiana de enfermos crónicos. Para ello se aplicó el cuestionario a 52 enfermos crónicos de la ciudad de Villavicencio. El análisis factorial denota tres factores: el factor 1 denominado como afectación física, el factor 2 denominado afectación social y finalmente el factor 3 denominado afectación motivacional de la fatiga, que explican el 76,324% de la varianza total acumulada, y un alfa de Cronbach de 870. Los resultados muestran una alta confiabilidad y concordancia en la estructura factorial con la versión original, lo que implica adecuada validez de la prueba en población colombiana de enfermos crónicos.

Objetivo: Evaluar las intervenciones grupales de enfermería en mujeres con diagnóstico enfermero ansiedad mediante el resultado NOC autocontrol de la ansiedad.

Material y método: Estudio pre-experimental del tipo pretest-postest de un solo grupo realizado en un Centro de Salud Mental de la Región de Murcia a un grupo de 12 mujeres en edad adulta que presentan el diagnóstico enfermero ansiedad. Se realizó a cada paciente la valoración de enfermería por Patrones Funcionales de Salud (PFS) antes y después de la asistencia a las 8 sesiones de intervenciones enfermeras grupales. Al comenzar y al finalizar el grupo, se cumplimentó el criterio de resultado NOC autocontrol de la ansiedad. Las intervenciones enfermeras fueron a) disminución de la ansiedad (5820), terapia de relajación simple (6040), educación sanitaria (5510), enseñanza grupo (5604) y grupo de apoyo (5430). Se tomó como variable independiente las intervenciones enfermeras y como variable dependiente las puntuaciones del resultado NOC, empleándose como instrumento de evaluación.

Resultados: El análisis del resultado NOC autocontrol de la ansiedad nos muestra diferencias significativas. Antes de las intervenciones, la media presenta el valor 22.5 y tras las mismas de 37.8 con una desviación típica de 3.22 y 7.11 respectivamente. La mediana antes y después de las intervenciones corresponde con los valores 21 y 37.5. El parámetro del test de los rangos de Wilcoxon corresponde con un valor de Z igual a -2.98 con una p igual a 0.003.

Conclusiones: El estado, conducta y percepciones de las pacientes del grupo medido con el resultado autocontrol de la ansiedad, mejora tras recibir las intervenciones enfermeras. La puntuación global de los indicadores empleados en este resultado ha sido apropiada como medida de los efectos de las intervenciones.
Bounded, minimal, and short representations of unit interval and unit circular-arc graphs. Chapter I: theory
Authors: Soulignac Francisco
Published: April 2017

This is the first of two chapters of a work in which we consider the unrestricted, minimal, and bounded representation problems for unit interval (UIG) and unit circular-arc (UCA) graphs.
In the unrestricted version, a proper circular-arc (PCA) model ${\mathcal{M}}$ is given and the goal is to obtain an equivalent UCA model ${\mathcal{U}}$.
In the bounded version, ${\mathcal{M}}$ is given together with some lower and upper bounds that the beginning points of ${\mathcal{U}}$ must satisfy.
In the minimal version, we have to find a minimal model equivalent to ${\mathcal{M}}$, in which the circumference of the circle and length of the arcs must be simultaneously as small as possible.
In this chapter we motivate these problems from an historical perspective, and we develop the theoretical framework required for the algorithms in Chapter II.
We present new characterizations of those PCA models that have equivalent UCA models, and of those UCA models with a circle of circumference ${c}$ and the arcs of length $\ell$. We also prove that every UCA model is equivalent to a minimal one.
We remark that all our results are of an algorithmic nature and can be readily employed to solve the problems at hand, even though these algorithms are not as efficient as those in Chapter II.
Faster Algorithms for the Minimum Red-Blue-Purple Spanning Graph Problem

Published: April 2017

Consider a set of $n$ points in the plane, each one of which is colored either red, blue, or purple.
A red-blue-purple spanning graph (RBP spanning graph)
is a graph whose vertices are the points and whose edges connect the points such that the subgraph induced by the red and purple
points is connected, and the subgraph induced by the blue and purple points is connected.
The minimum RBP spanning graph problem is to find an RBP spanning graph with minimum total edge length. First we consider this problem for the case when the points are located on a circle. We present an algorithm that solves this problem in $O(n^2)$ time, improving upon the previous algorithm by a factor of $\Theta(n)$. Also, for the general case we present an algorithm that runs in $O(n^5)$ time, improving upon the previous algorithm by a factor of $\Theta(n)$.
A Maximum Weight Clique Algorithm For Dense Circle Graphs With Many Shared Endpoints
Authors: Ward Max , Gozzard Andrew , Datta Amitava
Published: April 2017

Circle graphs are derived from the intersections of a set of chords. They have applications in VLSI design, bioinformatics, and chemistry. Some intractable problems on general graphs can be solved in polynomial time on circle graphs. As such, the study of circle graph algorithms has received attention. State-of-the-art algorithms for finding the maximum weight clique of a circle graph are very efficient when the graph is sparse. However, these algorithms require $\Theta(n^2)$ time when the graph is dense. We present an algorithm that is a factor of $\sqrt{n}$ faster for dense graphs in which many chord endpoints are shared. We also argue that these assumptions are practical.
A Note on the Existence of All (g,f)-Factors
Authors: Cymer Radosław
Published: April 2017

This paper is devoted to the problem of existence of all $(g,f)$-factors in a bipartite graph. We present an algorithm to test if a given bipartite graph contains all $(g,f)$-factors. In this way we give the affirmative answer to the question stated by Niessen. An analogous result for general graphs remains still unanswered.
Le moment politique des ruines
Authors: Bouchier Martine
Published: April 2017

Cet article interroge les définitions classiques des ruines à travers la lecture d'auteurs clés de la théorie des ruines dans la perspective de comprendre si les interprétations qu'ils en font sont valides pour saisir les ruines contemporaines produites par les guerres, le terrorisme ou les catastrophes naturelles. Il en ressort très vite que le modèle de lecture de l’événement passé que constitue la ruine ne fonctionne pas sur celles en cours ou à venir. La permanence des phénomènes de destruction guerrière, écologique, urbaine, humaine, environnementale, terroriste que l’on voit dans les médias, fait penser que le beau, la méditation sur notre devenir et sur la mort, ces universaux de l’esthétique et de la métaphysique des ruines, sont des valeurs « en théorie » qui n’ont aucun sens confrontés aux enjeux économiques et géostratégiques à échelle mondiale qui produisent ruines et chaos. À l’esprit des ruines classiques, dont tout l’attrait tient à ce qu’une oeuvre humaine est perçue comme une oeuvre de la nature, sont venus s’ajouter, d’une part une ruine instantanée provoquée par les divers vecteurs de destruction contemporains et, d’autre part, l’esprit d’une ruine « aidée » incluant un futur de ruine dans les projets.
From Principle to Practice: Youth engagement at the international summer course on the rights of the child
Authors: Pollack Candice Ashley
Published: April 2017

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child creates an express obligation on State parties to take into consideration the views and opinions of children and youth in matters that affect them. State parties, children’s rights advocates, scholars, and non-profits have all recognized the importance of the right to participation, and have undertaken many different approaches to ensure the authenticity of the experience for children and young people. The following note details some of the accepted principles for meaningful youth engagement, and reflects back on the experience of the Youth Rapporteur Programme at the 2015 edition of the International Summer Course on the Rights of the Child.
Les placements de mineurs en centres psychiatriques en vertu des lois provinciales de protection de l’enfance : considérations judiciaires
Authors: Bacon-Dussault Malaïka
Published: April 2017

Le placement d’enfants ou de jeunes atteints de troubles psychiatriques est régi par plusieurs instruments juridiques. En plus d’être abordé par les lois portant sur la protection des droits de la personne, les lois provinciales en matière de santé mentale prévoit des mécanismes de placement non-volontaire d’individus atteints de troubles mentaux et présentant un danger pour eux-mêmes ou pour autrui. Quand est-il lorsque l’individu est un enfant ou un jeune? Cette note de réflexion portera sur le régime particulier mis en place en Ontario, où les questions de placement d’enfants ou de jeunes en centre psychiatrique sont régies par la Loi sur les services à l’enfance et à la famille, mettant ainsi l’intérêt supérieur de l’enfant au coeur des décisions judiciaires.
Somatostatin-positive interneurons in the dentate gyrus of mice provide local- and long-range septal synaptic inhibition

Somatostatin-expressing-interneurons (SOMIs) in the dentate gyrus (DG) control formation of granule cell (GC) assemblies during memory acquisition. Hilar-perforant-path-associated interneurons (HIPP cells) have been considered to be synonymous for DG-SOMIs. Deviating from this assumption, we show two functionally contrasting DG-SOMI-types. The classical feedback-inhibitory HIPPs distribute axon fibers in the molecular layer. They are engaged by converging GC-inputs and provide dendritic inhibition to the DG circuitry. In contrast, SOMIs with axon in the hilus, termed hilar interneurons (HILs), provide perisomatic inhibition onto GABAergic cells in the DG and project to the medial septum. Repetitive activation of glutamatergic inputs onto HIPP cells induces long-lasting-depression (LTD) of synaptic transmission but long-term-potentiation (LTP) of synaptic signals in HIL cells. Thus, LTD in HIPPs may assist flow of spatial information from the entorhinal cortex to the DG, whereas LTP in HILs may facilitate the temporal coordination of GCs with activity patterns governed by the medial septum.
