Comparing the AzBio Sentence-in-Noise Test in English and Spanish in Bilingual Adults
Authors: Rodriguez Eric R. , Shader Maureen J.
Published: February 2025

Background: The AzBio Sentence-in-Noise Test was developed in 2011 and was successful in minimizingspeech-recognition ceiling effects, giving clinicians and researchers a more accurate representationof a listener’s speech-in-noise recognition. Recently, the Spanish version of the AzBio corpus was developedas a sentence-recognition test that could similarly be used to reduce speech-recognition ceilingeffects in Spanish-speaking patients. The developers of the AzBio in Spanish included researchers andclinicians from the United States and Colombia.Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether the AzBio test batteries in English and Spanishare comparable in difficulty to proficient Spanish–English bilingual adults residing in the United States.Research Design: The study was designed as a standard group comparison.Study Sample: Participants included 20 Spanish–English bilinguals between the ages of 18 and 30 yearswith hearing thresholds no greater than 25 dB HL in both ears.Data Collection and Analysis: Participants listened to three lists of 20 sentences from the AzBioSentence-in-Noise Tests in English and in Spanish over two test sessions. Sentences were presentedat a +5 dB signal-to-noise ratio in 10-talker babble. Sentence-recognition scores were calculatedfrom total words repeated correctly out of total words presented for all three lists (60 sentencesin total) in each language condition. A language experience survey was used to quantify and explorelanguage experience in different dialects of Spanish.Results: Our results indicate that bilingual listeners scored similarly on the English and Spanish testcorpora on the group level. On an individual level, participants who spoke a Colombian Spanish dialectwere among the highest-performing listeners for the Spanish test corpus and among the lowest performinglisteners for the English corpus.Conclusions: The AzBio in Spanish is a highly valuable clinical tool for evaluating speech recognition inSpanish-speaking patients. Our results suggest that listeners who spoke a Colombian Spanish dialect,consistent with the location where the AzBio in Spanish test was developed, tend to perform better on theSpanish version of the test compared to the English version of the test. Thus, dialectical factors mayaffect sentence-recognition scores on the AzBio in Spanish corpus. Clinicians in the United States mustconsider dialect when administering this test corpus because the most common dialect in the United Statesis Mexican Spanish. Future research should evaluate the education level of listeners to determine the impactof language-specific vocabulary on sentence-recognition performance on both AzBio language corpora.

There has been increasing interest in the direct measurement of the state of global well-being and cross-country comparison of well-being or happiness. Analyses of national well-being conventionally have focused on per capita income. Income and its growth are certainly an essential indicator of standard of living; but it is not the only thing that matters. There are noneconomic factors that contribute to well-being. Income may not be worth as much if one does not have the health and other capabilities to enjoy it. Satisfactory health together with other capabilities – freedom, the absence of conflicts, war, violence, and adequate social capital – can contribute to people’s subjective well-being or happiness. In this paper, we use the analytical framework of the economics of happiness to explore the relationship between happiness or subjective well-being and good health taking into consideration the role of social capital – trust and good governance.

Authors: Nwankwo Ogonna D. , Okoye Okechukwu N.N.
Published: February 2025

Melon (Citrullus colocynthis) husk, a readily available agricultural waste products in Nigeria was used as a low-cost potential adsorbent to get rid of lead from industrial wastewater. Adsorption studies were carried out on NaOH activated melon husks at constant adsorbent mass and adsorbate concentration. The contact time was varied from 1 to 100 minutes at 10 minutes interval. Lead removal was found to be rapid from the first minute and equilibrium was attained within 10 minutes. Lead adsorption by NaOH activated melon husk was found to be less dependent on contact time. Adsorption isotherms correlated well with both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and their R2 values are 1. Experimental data were also evaluated to seek out out kinetic characteristics of the adsorption process. Adsorption process for the heavy metal ion was found to follow pseudo-second order adsorption kinetics with the r2 value of 0.8697. Activated melon husk was found to be efficient as adsorbent in the uptake of Pb(II) ions in industrial wastewater, thus, predisposing it as a suitable alternative for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.

Published: February 2025

A reforma psiquiátrica brasileira é constituída por uma ampla rede pública extra-hospitalar de atenção à saúde mental que convive, atualmente, com serviços privados, dentre eles, as residências terapêuticas particulares. Este estudo analisa os argumentos utilizados para justificar a opção por essas residências, construídos por familiares de usuários de saúde mental que moram em residências terapêuticas particulares em Campina Grande-PB. Com base na Psicologia Social Discursiva, realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas que foram submetidas à Análise de Discurso. Os argumentos construídos pelos entrevistados para justificar a opção pelas residências particulares organizam-se em três categorias: a natureza do transtorno psicológico, o cansaço físico e mental dos familiares e a superlotação dos serviços públicos. Os relatos avaliam positivamente essas residências, legitimam a opção por elas e apontam para os desafios que o projeto de reforma psiquiátrica ainda tem que enfrentar, uma vez que tais serviços não comungam com os preceitos reformistas.

Published: February 2025

Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar uma experiência de grupo, com crianças, realizada no âmbito do Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS). As Práticas Narrativas Coletivas nortearam a intervenção e a metodologia utilizada foi a Árvore da Vida. Os participantes foram 10 crianças, com idades entre 7 e 11 anos; três estudantes do último ano de Psicologia, que estavam realizando o estágio em Prevenção e Promoção de Saúde com Crianças; e a supervisora do estágio. Foram realizadas quatro visitas iniciais, com intuito de conhecer o serviço e as crianças, para decidir o percurso que desenvolveriam juntos em 12 encontros. O envolvimento das crianças e as narrativas construídas durante os encontros apontam para a relevância dessa prática nos serviços socioassistenciais como uma metodologia que estimula a convivência, resgata os aspectos positivos da história de vida das crianças e, ao mesmo tempo, conecta as histórias individuais, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de um senso de força coletiva para o enfrentamento de vulnerabilidades.

Published: February 2025

A pandemia de covid-19 exigiu distanciamento social. O contato virtual passou a ser uma alternativa, porém as pessoas idosas não têm o mesmo letramento digital que gerações mais novas, nascidas em um contexto tecnológico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a utilização de redes sociais por idosos para a manutenção de vínculos familiares durante esta pandemia. Para a presente revisão sistemática qualitativa, foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados: BVS, Scopus, PsycInfo e PubMed entre 2020 e 2022. Os resultados foram organizados em 4 categorias: Conexões com a rede de apoio; Rituais e organização familiar; Processo de adaptação multigeracional; e, Implicações do distanciamento e estratégias desenvolvidas. Idosos fizeram uso de recursos digitais para a comunicação com familiares e rede de apoio durante a pandemia de covid-19, embora não considerem que essa alternativa substitua a convivência pessoalmente. Cabe a todas as gerações garantir acesso, atenção e adaptação dos recursos que proporcionem saúde aos idosos.

Published: February 2025

O presente estudo objetivou conhecer as possíveis repercussões do Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) no Ciclo de Vida Familiar (CVF) a partir das perspectivas maternas. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa com quatro mães com filhos diagnosticados com TEA, que vivenciavam diferentes etapas do CVF. Realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas e a análise dos dados baseou-se na descrição dos casos à luz da Teoria do CVF (McGoldrick & Shibusawa, 2016). Analisou-se como foram vivenciadas as tarefas desenvolvimentais predizíveis no CVF, especificamente nas etapas Família com filhos pequenos, Família com filhos adolescentes, Lançando os filhos e seguindo em frente e Família no estágio tardio da vida. As famílias encontraram dificuldades no cumprimento de algumas tarefas desenvolvimentais, enquanto outras foram atendidas de forma ajustada à sua realidade. Considera-se relevante que profissionais que trabalhem com a referida demanda conheçam as possíveis repercussões do transtorno no CVF, a fim subsidiar percepções e manejos da prática.

Authors: Cesar Adriana Bellodi Costa
Published: February 2025

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma reflexão teórico-clínica sobre o atendimento de uma família com crianças durante a pandemia pela COVID-19. O estudo valoriza não só a experiência profissional do terapeuta como também a sua relação com a própria infância, enfatizando a descentralidade e a criatividade deste no processo de reautoria de vidas. A Terapia Narrativa, como opção discursiva, oferece recursos conversacionais muito úteis para o desenvolvimento do diálogo terapêutico gerador de mudanças. Assim, neste texto serão abordadas as conversas de externalização do problema e a produção de documentos terapêuticos no formato de crônicas terapêuticas (Campillo, 2011; Paljakka,2008) para pontuar momentos marcantes de mudança entre os participantes, além de compartilhar momentos em que o uso da tecnologia on-line auxiliou a co-construção de relações terapêuticas generativas em tempos de isolamento social.

Authors: Seikkula Jaakko , Alakare Birgitta , Aaltonen Jukka
Published: February 2025

Como uma abordagem para o tratamento da psicose, o Diálogo Aberto tem como objetivo iniciar o tratamento dentro de 24 horas do primeiro contato entre o sistema de saúde e o paciente ou a família e, de acordo com princípios construcionistas sociais, inclui a família e a rede social em uma discussão aberta de todas as questões ao longo de todo o tratamento. Como um passo para a avaliação do impacto deste novo modelo de tratamento, foram feitas análises estatísticas e qualitativas de 78 casos de primeiro episódio psicótico consecutivos, diferenciando os casos com resultados bons dos com resultados ruins com base em critérios funcionais e sintomáticos. Os resultados sugeriram diferenças no diagnóstico e na duração dos sintomas prodrômicos e psicóticos, assim como nos processos de tratamento nos dois grupos. A decisão de evitar a hospitalização e o uso ansiolíticos em vez de neurolépticos foram associados a um bom resultado. No geral, os dados sobre a eficácia do Diálogo Aberto foram encorajadores, pois mostraram apenas 22% de pacientes com resultados ruins. No entanto, se a possibilidade de se começar um processo dialógico é mínima, o tratamento pode levar a um resultado ruim, mesmo quando não é precedido por fatores sociais e psicológicos pré-mórbidos.
Intersecções iniciais
Authors: Rubio Marcela Albuquerque , Negozio Simone Bambini
Published: February 2025

Os desastres são eventos que ocorrem dentro de um ambiente vulnerável com efeitos que transcendem a capacidade da comunidade de resposta. Diante deste cenário, a psicologia pode contribuir com a comunidade no restabelecimento de seu agenciamento próprio. Proponho utilizar o mapa de rede pessoal de Sluzki como ferramenta para auxiliar as intervenções da psicologia. A postura construcionista social auxilia nos entendimentos e significados sobre o evento, através de uma prática político-crítica. Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer intersecções iniciais entre construcionismo social, mapa de rede social de Sluzki e a psicologia na gestão integral de riscos e desastres. Essas aproximações foram exemplificadas através de três atuações da autora em contextos de desastres.

Published: February 2025

Este texto apresenta uma pesquisa realizada com adolescentes e jovens, abrangendo aspectos importantes sobre essa faixa etária que vai, no presente caso, dos 15 aos 24 anos. O objetivo é conhecer como as interações familiares e a satisfação e os fracassos ou decepções vivenciadas nessas interações eram compreendidos por adolescentes e adultos jovens entrevistados. Aqui são incluídos temas relativos à percepção que os participantes tinham sobre família e suas circunstâncias: as interações familiares, a satisfação sentida nessas interações e os fracassos e decepções que surgem quando as vivências não correspondem aos seus ideais de convivência. Foram realizados grupos focais, com adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos de ambos os sexos, inscritos no Projeto Pescar de Porto Alegre, e entrevistas individuais com jovens universitários de 20 a 24 anos. Os resultados mostram idealizações sobre família em contraste com vivências e sentimentos ambivalentes sobre a mesma. Aspectos positivos e negativos coexistem, sem que as contradições obscureçam a centralidade da família na vida humana para ambos os grupos de participantes. Aparece com certo destaque o papel que os castigos físicos têm na educação de crianças, principalmente por parte dos adolescentes.
Implicações dos dispositivos amoroso e materno sobre mulheres em situação de violência doméstica
Authors: Nieswald Larissa Marcí Rutke , Giacomozzi Andréia Isabel
Published: February 2025

Este estudo analisou as implicações dos dispositivos amoroso e materno em dois casos de mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica em Santa Catarina. As mulheres eram mães e já haviam se separado do autor de violência. Embora tenham buscado medidas protetivas na Delegacia de Proteção à Criança, Adolescente, Mulher e Idoso, a principal motivação para a busca por ajuda foi o cuidado dos filhos. A proteção dos filhos também influenciou a permanência nos relacionamentos violentos. Sentimentos de culpa surgiram devido à preocupação em serem boas mães e à necessidade de romper os laços entre pai e filho para proteger sua integridade física. Isso demonstra a constante posição de cuidado e abdicação própria imposta às mulheres. É crucial uma rede de apoio que ofereça suporte para ajudá-las a sair de relacionamentos abusivos. Além disso, profissionais que atendem essas mulheres devem estar bem-informados sobre questões de gênero e considerar os dispositivos amoroso e materno em suas intervenções.

Published: February 2025

Esta revisão integrativa verificou, na literatura, as associações entre a transmissão intergeracional e as relações entre pai e filhos em famílias com crianças de três a onze anos. Foram consultadas as bases de dados: CINAHL, Index Psicologia, LILACS, BDENF, PsycINFO, PubMed, SciELO, SCOPUS e Web of Science. Incluíram-se 15 estudos nesta revisão. Constatou-se predominância na continuidade de relações positivas entre as gerações, ou seja, homens com pais mais envolvidos, desenvolveram uma parentalidade mais calorosa. Em menor quantidade também foi constatado continuidade de relacionamentos distantes entre pais e filhos, e reprodução de práticas disciplinares físicas entre gerações. Por outro lado, também se verificou nos estudos a descontinuidade de certos modelos de relação parental, na tentativa de evitar reproduzir relacionamentos parentais conflituosos ou distantes.

LAMOST Reveals Long-lived Protoplanetary Disks
Authors: Wang Xiao-Long , Fang Min , Liu Yao , Zhang Miao-Miao , Cui Wen-Yuan
Published: February 2025

While both observations and theories demonstrate that protoplanetary disks are not expected to live much longer than ∼10 Myr, several examples of prolonged disks have been observed in the past. In this work, we perform a systematic search for aged young stellar objects still surrounded by protoplanetary disks in the M-star catalog from the LAMOST archive. We identify 14 sources older than 10 Myr, still surrounded by protoplanetary disks and with ongoing accretion activities, significantly improving the census of the category known as the Peter Pan disks. The stellar parameters, variability, and accretion properties of these objects, as well as their spatial distribution, are investigated. Nearly all of these objects are distributed far away from nearby associations and star-forming regions but show evidence of being members of open clusters. Investigating the correlation between mass accretion rates and stellar masses, we find that these long-lived disks accrete at systematically lower levels, compared to their younger counterparts with similar stellar masses. Studying the evolution of mass accretion rates with stellar ages, we find that these aged disks follow a similar trend to young ones.

We present two transit observations of the ∼520 K, 1.85 R
⊕, 4.0 M
⊕ super-Earth TOI-776 b with JWST NIRSpec/G395H, resulting in a 2.8–5.2 μm transmission spectrum. Producing reductions using the ExoTiC-JEDI and Eureka! pipelines, we obtain a median transit depth precision of 34 ppm for both visits and both reductions in spectroscopic channels 30 pixels wide (∼0.02 μm). We find that our independent reductions produce consistent transmission spectra; however, each visit shows differing overall structure. For both reductions, a flat line is preferred for Visit 1 while a flat line with an offset between the NRS1 and NRS2 detectors is preferred for Visit 2; however, we are able to correct for this offset during our modeling analysis following methods outlined in previous works. Using PICASO forward models, we can rule out metallicities up to at least 100× solar with an opaque pressure of 10−3 bars to ≥3σ in all cases; however, the exact lower limit varies between the visits, with Visit 1 ruling out ≲100× solar while the lower limits for Visit 2 extend beyond ∼350× solar. Our results add to the growing list of super-Earth atmospheric constraints by JWST, which provide critical insight into the diversity and challenges of characterizing terrestrial planets.

Strongly lensed supernovae (SNe) are a rare class of transient that can offer tight cosmological constraints that are complementary to methods from other astronomical events. We present a follow-up study of one recently discovered strongly lensed SN, the quadruply imaged type Ia SN 2022qmx (aka “SN Zwicky”), at z = 0.3544. We measure updated, template-subtracted photometry for SN Zwicky and derive improved time delays and magnifications. This is possible because SNe are transient, fading away after reaching their peak brightness. Specifically, we measure point-spread-function photometry for all four images of SN Zwicky in three Hubble Space Telescope WFC3/UVIS passbands (F475W, F625W, and F814W) and one WFC3/IR passband (F160W), with template images taken ∼11 months after the epoch in which the SN images appear. We find consistency to within 2σ between lens-model-predicted time delays (≲1 day) and measured time delays with HST colors (≲2 days), including the uncertainty from chromatic microlensing that may arise from stars in the lensing galaxy. The standardizable nature of SNe Ia allows us to estimate absolute magnifications for the four images, with images A and C being elevated in magnification compared to lens model predictions by about 6σ and 3σ, respectively, confirming previous work. We show that millilensing or differential dust extinction is unable to explain these discrepancies, and we find evidence for the existence of microlensing in images A, C, and potentially D that may contribute to the anomalous magnification.
Nonthermal Signatures of Radiative Supernova Remnants. II. The Impact of Cosmic Rays and Magnetic Fields
Authors: Diesing Rebecca , Gupta Siddhartha
Published: February 2025

Near the ends of their lives, supernova remnants (SNRs) enter a “radiative phase,” when efficient cooling of the postshock gas slows expansion. Understanding SNR evolution at this stage is crucial for estimating feedback in galaxies, as SNRs are expected to release energy and momentum into the interstellar medium near the ends of their lives. A standard prediction of SNR evolutionary models is that the onset of the radiative stage precipitates the formation of a dense shell behind the forward shock. In Paper I, we showed that such shell formation yields detectable nonthermal radiation from radio to γ-rays, most notably emission brightening by nearly 2 orders of magnitude. However, there remains no observational evidence for such brightening, suggesting that this standard prediction needs to be investigated. In this paper, we perform magnetohydrodynamic simulations of SNR evolution through the radiative stage, including cosmic rays (CRs) and magnetic fields to assess their dynamical roles. We find that both sources of nonthermal pressure impede shell formation, reducing shell densities by a factor of a few to more than an order of magnitude. We also use a self-consistent model of particle acceleration to estimate the nonthermal emission from these modified SNRs and demonstrate that, for reasonable CR acceleration efficiencies and magnetic field strengths, the nonthermal signatures of shell formation can all but disappear. We therefore conclude that the absence of observational signatures of shell formation represents strong evidence that nonthermal pressures from CRs and magnetic fields play a critical dynamical role in late-stage SNR evolution.
Detection of the Extended γ-Ray Emission around TeV Source 1LHAASO J0249+6022 with Fermi-LAT
Authors: Gong Yunlu , Zhou Liancheng , Xia Qi , Chang Shan , Fang Jun , Zhang Li
Published: February 2025

1LHAASO J0249+6022 is an extended very-high-energy γ-ray source discovered by the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory. Based on nearly 16.1 yr of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope, we report the probable γ-ray emission from 1LHAASO J0249+6022 in the 0.03–1 TeV energy range. The results show that its γ-ray spectrum can be well fitted by a single power law with an index of 1.54 ± 0.17, and integral photon flux is (4.28 ± 1.03)  × 10−11 photons cm−2 s−1. We also considered theoretically whether the nonthermal emission could originate from a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) scenario. Assuming that the particles injected into the nebula have a power-law distribution, the resulting spectrum from the inverse Compton scattering is consistent with the detected GeV and TeV γ-ray fluxes. Our study shows that the PWN scenario is reasonable for 1LHAASO J0249+6022.
MMS Observations of the Velocity-space Signature of Shock-drift Acceleration
Authors: Montag P. , Howes G. G. , McGinnis D. , Afshari A. S. , Starkey M. J. , Desai M. I.
Published: February 2025

Collisionless shocks play a key role in the heliosphere at planetary bow shocks by governing the conversion of the upstream bulk kinetic energy of the solar wind flow to other forms of energy in the downstream, including heating of the plasma species, acceleration of particles, and increase of magnetic energy. For a perpendicular collisionless shock with Alfvén Mach number M
A = 5.5, we present here the first observational identification of the velocity-space signature of shock-drift acceleration of ions, previously predicted using kinetic numerical simulations, using a field–particle correlation analysis of Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of Earth’s bow shock. Furthermore, by resolving the ion energization rates as a function of particle velocity, the field–particle correlation technique facilitates a clean quantitative separation of the energization rate of the reflected ions from that of the incoming ion beam, enabling a more complete characterization of the energy conversion at the shock.

Le syndrome de Chédiak-Higashi est une maladie génétique rare, caractérisée par une altération des lysosomes liée à un défaut de la protéine LYST ( Lysosomal trafficking regulator). Il se manifeste par un albinisme partiel, oculo-cutané, et des anomalies morphologiques des globules blancs. Nous rapportons un cas observé chez un nourrisson de deux mois, décelé fortuitement à l’occasion d’un syndrome infectieux lors de l’examen d’un frottis sanguin révélant la présence de lysosomes géants intra-leucocytaires. Le diagnostic suspecté a été confirmé par le séquençage du gène LYST qui a mis au jour une mutation jamais décrite jusqu’à présent.
Alphonse Laveran, le premier lauréat français du Prix Nobel de physiologie/médecine
Authors: Simonet Michèle
Published: February 2025

En 1880, alors qu’il est affecté en Algérie en qualité de médecin militaire, Alphonse Laveran observe, lors de l’examen microscopique du sang de paludéens, un hématozoaire endoglobulaire. Contestée par la communauté médicale durant quelques années, la nature parasitaire du paludisme est finalement admise par celle-ci et Laveran suggère, sans pouvoir en apporter la preuve, une transmission de l’agent infectieux par des moustiques. La découverte de l’origine de cette maladie, connue depuis l’Antiquité et qui frappe une grande partie de la planète, vaut à Laveran une très grande notoriété internationale et le prix Nobel de physiologie/médecine lui sera attribué en 1907 pour ses travaux en parasitologie. Démissionnaire de l’armée, Laveran intègrera l’Institut Pasteur et créera le laboratoire des maladies tropicales. Il y étudiera, avec Félix Mesnil, les trypanosomes et la maladie du sommeil ainsi que les leishmanioses, et son œuvre en protozoologie sera considérable.

Published: February 2025

This study explores the development and user experience testing of an interactive mobile learning application designed for children with visual impairments integrated with affective design principles. Despite the availability of various assistive technology (AT) solutions, existing mobile applications often fail to address the specific needs of visually impaired children, particularly regarding emotional engagement and usability. Affective design principles are essential in developing functional, emotionally resonant, and engaging products for users. Therefore, this study aims (i) to develop an interactive mobile learning application tailored for visually impaired children based on affective design principles and (ii) to validate the application through comprehensive user experience testing by utilizing a hypothetical dataset and heatmap overlay. Employing iterative triangulation methodology (ITM), the study demonstrates that integrating affective design principles significantly enhances the usability and engagement of mobile learning applications for visually impaired children. The findings highlight the critical role of affective design in promoting equitable and effective learning experiences for this demographic, contributing both theoretically and practically to the field of assistive technology.
Différence et analogie. Le projet deleuzien d’une philosophie de la différence
Authors: Crevoisier Michaël
Published: February 2025

Deleuze inscrit le projet général de Différence et répétition dans l’histoire des « philosophies de la différence ». Notre objectif est de suivre cette histoire dont il mène l’analyse notamment dans le deuxième chapitre, en mettant l’accent sur sa lecture d’Aristote. Dans ces pages, l’enjeu est de distinguer différence et analogie afin de remarquer dans la théorie des catégories, le moment ontologique où la possibilité d’une conception purement différentielle de l’être est rabattue sur une compréhension analogique. Dans cette perspective, nous nous demandons comment Deleuze entend penser une différence sans analogie, c’est-à-dire comment il traite la question suivante : qu’est-ce qui de la différence entre deux êtres en relation peut excéder l’analogie entendue comme raison de ce qui diffère ? Par là nous dégageons l’originalité d’une pensée de la différence pure, ce que celle-ci implique comme nouvelle compréhension de la distribution de l’être, et ses conséquences sur ce qu’on appelle penser.
Totalité et différence dans le chapitre IV de Différence et répétition
Authors: Hasegawa Tomotaro
Published: February 2025

Cet article examine comment Gilles Deleuze élabore la notion de totalité dans le cadre de l’ontologie de la différence. Pour Deleuze, la totalité n’est pas synonyme d’identité, mais se construit à travers l’interconnexion des différences. Son ontologie vise à intégrer la différence dans une totalité non-identitaire. En s’inspirant de Bergson, Deleuze présente d’abord trois aspects de la virtualité qui relient totalité et différence. Ensuite, en s’appuyant sur des œuvres structuralistes, il décrit un double mouvement de différentiation et de différenciation qui façonne la totalité en tant que structure. Dans le chapitre IV de Différence et répétition, Deleuze parvient finalement à la notion de totalité différentielle et différenciante. En s’opposant à la philosophie de Hegel, Deleuze réussit à présenter une totalité qui se développe entièrement en élément de la différence.
De la philosophie de la nature à la philosophie de l’esprit. À propos d’une formule deleuzienne sur le virtuel
Authors: Krtolica Igor
Published: February 2025

En dépliant le sens d’une formule deleuzienne de Différence et répétition – « le virtuel a la réalité d’une tâche à remplir, comme d’un problème à résoudre » –, nous essayons de montrer que le concept deleuzien de virtuel implique les trois grands traits d’une philosophie de la nature : une théorie de l’ontogenèse, une théorie des régimes d’individuation et une fondation ontologique de l’éthique. Après avoir montré que le couple virtuel-actuel permet de former une théorie de l’ontogenèse, nous montrons que, en distinguant différents régimes d’individuation (physico-chimique, biologique, psychique), Deleuze accorde un certain privilège à la pensée, seule apte à exprimer pleinement la réalité virtuelle qui la conditionne. En comparant cette théorie à celle d’Étienne Souriau, nous montrons enfin en quoi ce privilège est inséparable d’une tâche éthique, et n’implique aucun anthropocentrisme : pour Deleuze, l’homme n’est pas le sujet de la pensée.
