Innovation of College Education Management from the Perspective of New Public Service Theory
Authors: Chen Song
Published: October 2018

The new public service theory provides a rich theoretical perspective and scientific methodology for the education management innovation of colleges and universities in China. The meaning of “humanity”, “responsibility” and “service” can help to change many problems in the education management of colleges and universities in China. To build a service-oriented education management model for colleges and universities, we need to:(1) Establish a public service concept and change the administrative management style of higher education;(2) Build a common value base and promote the participation of multiple entities in higher education management;(3) Deepen the responsibility of social services and realize the “legal management” of higher education.

Authors: Li Qiang , Wang Yutao
Published: October 2018

In the thermal processing of metal materials, the performance of thematerial is more stable, and the heat-treated materials are processed into parts to make the performance more excellent and more in line with the performance requirements of mechanical parts. However, in thermal processing, metal materials are prone to problems, such as deformation, deformation of the appearance of metal materials, and fatal effects on the processing of mechanical parts. Therefore, this paper focuses on solving the causes of deformation in the thermal processing of metal materials, as well as solutions to improve the problems in the processing of metal materials.

Authors: Pei Chaoran , Xu Xia
Published: October 2018

In this paper, the calculation of the misalignment of the zirconium alloysof the two groups of A and B in different textures is carried out. According to the mismatch principle of film growth, the nucleation planes of the surface of the A combination alloy are mainly (200), (020), (002) three crystal planes, and the crystal plane mismatches with the growth crystal planes (104), (105), (106) exceeds 65% ; on the other hand, the nucleation planes on the B-composite alloy surface are mainly (011), (110), (101), (102), and (103) crystal planes, which are only 40% or lower with the growth crystal plane mismatch.
Cognition and Body: A Perspective of Theoretical Psychology
Authors: Chong De , Xiao Wen
Published: October 2018

The article stands in the position of theoretical psychology, and exploresthe possible relationship between cognition and the body from the dimensions of the body. The article points out that, dualism has always dominated Western culture since ancient Greece. Plato is the earliest representative of the dualism thought. Descartes confirms the existence of the binary world of mind and matter from epistemology.Traditional cognitive psychology inherits the dualistic tradition of separation of mind and body, and regards the mind as the processing of abstract symbolic informationindependent of the body s sensory movement system. But the rise of personal cognition challenges the dualism. From the perspective of the body, cognition is the cognition of the body, and the body is the subject of cognition. Cognition shows dependence on the body in three ways: a. The body limits the characteristics and scope of cognition. The body structure of the organism and the ability of the body is limiting the nature and content of cognitive representation; b. The body not only limits cognitive processing, but also can be used as an integral part of cognitive processing to distribute cognitive tasks between the brain and the body, playing a role similar to a distributor; c. The body regulates cognition, affecting mental processessuch as thinking, judgment, emotion, and motivation. The above facts show that mind and body are not binary, but one and the interaction between body and environment create mind and cognition. The mind, body, and environment are the process of integration.
Research on the Examination Method of Zoology Experimental Course
Authors: Zhang Jun , Li Bowen
Published: October 2018

Zoology is an experimental subject. Zoology experiments are an indispensable part of zoology teaching, and it is an organic whole that complements classroom teaching. The good zoology experiment course is a necessary prerequisite for learning zoology, and the examination of the zoology experiment course is an effective means to test the teaching effect of the zoology experiment course. In the past, most of the examinations for the Zoology Experimental Course were carried out together with the final examination of the final theoretical course after the completion of all the experimental courses. There are obvious drawbacks to this kind of papertalk test method. First of all, it can t comprehensively and realistically assessstudents experimental skills and level; on the other hand, it makes students not pay attention to the experimental course, because it can pass the test only by memorizing the results of the experiment. The irrationality of this traditional examination method has greatly affected the teaching effect of zoology and limited the teaching reform and development of zoology.

Finalmente, el ensayo reflexiona sobre las condiciones para avanzar hacia un Estado restituidor desde una perspectiva decolonial.
Entre el discurso y el performance: sobre el concepto de performatividad y sus transformaciones
Authors: Marín Pineda Alejandra
Published: October 2018

Tras la publicación de Cómo hacer cosas con palabras, de John L. Austin, se le han atribuido al lenguaje potencias que van mucho más allá de la representación y que podrían condensarse bajo el concepto de performatividad, una característica del lenguaje referida a su capacidad de hacer cosas o producir realidades. Las implicaciones de esta comprensión han superado el campo en que este término surgió ?la filosofía del lenguaje? y en las décadas siguientes fueron y han seguido siendo exploradas por las más variadas aproximaciones teóricas, desde la retórica y los estudios literarios hasta los estudios culturales, poscoloniales, de la raza y del género. Esta ampliación del espectro de la performatividad no sólo ha conducido a una redefinición del concepto acorde a los problemas específicos de cada campo, sino que también ha desencadenado debates epistemológicos. La consideración de los múltiples sentidos en que se dice que algo es “performativo” ha enfatizado los límites y las tensiones entre formas de teorizar que podrían ser clasificadas, gruesamente, en dos grupos: por un lado, aquellas que se ocupan de las dimensiones pragmáticas del lenguaje y, por otro lado, aquellas que se enfocan en el estudio de las normas sociales corporalizadas, que han vinculado el concepto de performatividad al de performance. En este artículo me propongo explorar las tensiones que han constituido este concepto para abogar por una comprensión que en lugar de crear barreras entre campos del saber, abra la posibilidad de una teoría más compleja y transdisciplinaria de la performatividad.
Prolegómenos para una anti-ontología feminista
Authors: Marchi Agostina
Published: October 2018

Pensar no ocurre en el aire. Pensar ocurre al interior de una matriz de pensamiento, adentro de un «lo pensable» que es un territorio estratificado de una manera determinada, con unas fronteras bastante precisas, más o menos mapeado según las zonas, habitable sólo desde unos emplazamientos de sujeto que, además de específicos, no son infinitos. Eso que llamamos «Occidente» se irguió a partir de conquistas y cruzadas que respondieron a objetivos particulares. Quizás, sólo quizás, preguntarnos por ellas nos permita vislumbrar mejor algo del lugar (o el no-lugar) ontológico y experiencial que Occidente le dio a lo largo de su «Historia» a la «mujer» —y, con ella, siguiendo a Hélène Cixous, al devenir, a la alteridad, a lo radicalmente otro.
Violencia de archivo

El texto plantea un análisis en torno a las políticas de archivo que, a su vez, activan, en su forma más violenta, políticas de borramiento y de olvido; esto a la luz de una de las piezas más importantes del grupo interdisciplinario Forensic Architecture: el mural que lleva por título Los senderos de Ayotzinapa que se bifurcan. Desde el análisis del relato, como forma de enunciación y de archivo, intentaremos extraer las voces silenciadas por una mal llamada Verdad Histórica.
El arte, la mesa de existencia y los anhelos de mundo: discursos y silencios en la era de la globalización
Authors: Hidalgo María Antonia
Published: October 2018

El presente ensayo invita a una reflexión sobre los procesos de la imaginación creadora y el sentir social hacia la construcción de mundos posibles a través de determinados discursos que generamos y, por tanto, de la legitimidad que les otorgamos. También trata sobre aquellas personas que tienen derecho a hablar y las que no, discursos no nacidos o silenciados en los que el arte se constituye como agente de voz y memoria. La “mesa de existencia” hace referencia según Bachelard a un espacio físico y simbólico para habitar, organizar nuestras experiencias y narrar lo vivido.
Usos de estrategias persuasivas en el discurso religioso digital de católicos, protestantes y testigos de Jehová
Authors: Vásquez-Rocca Liliana , Varas Magaly
Published: October 2018

La religión puede ser entendida como un lenguaje, ya que es un tipo de construcción simbólica mediante la cual se “aprehende” la realidad (Bourdieu) y que permite que las personas conciban al mundo de determinada forma. Hasta ahora, las investigaciones lingüísticas se han centrado en las encíclicas o los sermones, sin embargo, ha sido escasa su exploración en textos del nuevo espacio virtual. Así, nuestro objetivo es describir y comparar las estrategias persuasivas usadas en los discursos de tres credos en sitios web representativos, para aproximarnos a su concepción de mundo configurada en Internet. Tras el análisis, los hallazgos muestran que los tres credos no aprovechan las potencialidades digitales, manteniéndo la lógica autoritaria de este tipo de discurso (Orlandi).
Who Is Here to Help Me? The Work-Related Social Networks of Staff of Color in Two Mid-Sized Districts
Authors: Bristol Travis J. , Shirrell Matthew
Published: October 2018

Despite the benefits of educators of color to various outcomes for students of color, large-scale research has not explored these educators’ on-the-job interactions with colleagues outside of large urban districts. Using social network analysis, this study examined the work-related social interactions of staff (teachers and administrators) of color in two mid-sized school districts. Where staff of color were likely the only faculty members of color—and where math professional development and curricular change were district-wide foci—staff of color were less likely to seek out colleagues for math advice. Staff of color were generally not sought for advice any more or less than White colleagues. Implications for policy and practice related to staff of color are discussed.
Is Time Misconception of the Transformations Possible?
Authors: Kavak Mesut
Published: October 2018

Time is quite interesting phenomenon in physics, and it seems is relative; but what does it mean to be relative of time? What does to be fixed of light speed mean? Does to be fixed of light speed require observation at light speed? What if we can observe faster than light speed because of increased frame number? Is time effective for this imaginary effect or also time itself is dependent on another actual causative phenomenon? Is it possible to make a wrong conception for time and speed even if the phenomenon we advocate is actually true?

Between the devil and the deep blue sea: Tensions between scientific judgement and statistical model selection
Authors: Navarro Danielle
Published: October 2018

Discussions of model selection in the psychological literature typically frame the issues as a question of statistical inference, with the goal being to determine which model makes the best predictions about data. Within this setting, advocates of leave-one-out cross-validation and Bayes factors disagree on precisely which prediction problem model selection questions should aim to answer. In this comment, I discuss some of these issues from a scientific perspective. What goal does model selection serve when all models are known to be systematically wrong? How might "toy problems" tell a misleading story? How does the scientific goal of explanation align with (or differ from) traditional statistical concerns? I do not offer answers to these questions, but hope to highlight the reasons why psychological researchers cannot avoid asking them.
Reconsidering the Psychometrics of the Gifted Rating Scales – School Form: Evidence for Parsimony in Measurement
Authors: Petscher Yaacov , Pfeiffer Steven I.
Published: October 2018

The authors evaluated measurement-level, factor-level, item-level, and scale-level revisions to the Gifted Rating Scales – School Form (GRS-S). Measurement-level considerations tested the extent to which treating the Likert scale rating as categorical or continuous produced different fit across unidimensional, correlated trait, and bi-factor latent factor structures. Item- and scale-level analyses demonstrated that the GRS-S could be reduced from a 72-item assessment on a 9-point rating scale down to a 30-item assessment on a 3-point rating scale. Reliability from the reduced assessment was high (ω > .95). ROC curve comparisons between the original and reduced versions of the GRS-S showed that diagnostic accuracy (i.e., area under the curve) of the scales was comparable when considering cut-scores of 120, 125, and 130 on the WISC-IV full scale and verbal IQ and the WIAT-III composite score. The findings suggest that a brief form of the GRS-S can be used as a universal or selective screener for giftedness without sacrificing key psychometric considerations.
Aru, Tulver & Bachmann (2018) - It’s all in your head: Expectations create illusory perception in a dual-task setup
Authors: Aru Jaan , Tulver Kadi , Bachmann Talis
Published: October 2018

Predictions about the world can guide our perception and action, but they can also misguide us. We developed novel dual-task setups where the participants are occupied by a primary task and are from time to time queried about the phenomenal contents of the auxiliary task. We show that “hallucinating” the presence of an actually absent stimulus is not an exception, but a common phenomenon (more than 90% of participants experienced illusory objects at least once). Additionally, in experiment 1 we found a negative correlation between the amount of illusory perceptions and the Autism Spectrum Quotient score. People who scored higher on the questionnaire, were less likely to experience illusory objects. Finally, we observed no effect of spatial attention on expectation-based illusory presence of an object. More generally our results demonstrate that expectations misguide perception when attention is diverted to another task.
Background odors affect behavior in a dot-probe task with emotionally expressive faces
Authors: Syrjänen Elmeri , Fischer Håkan , Olofsson Jonas
Published: October 2018

Odors affect perception of social cues in visual environments. Although often underestimated, people use their sense of smell to guide approach or avoidance behavior in social contexts. However, underlying psychological mechanisms are not well known. Prior work suggested olfactory effects are due to increased attention or arousal, or depend on the congruency between olfactory and visual cues. Our aim was to assess how odors influence attentional processes using a dot-probe task with odor-congruent and odor-incongruent facial expressions (happy, disgusted and neutral expressions paired with pleasant odor, unpleasant odor and no-odor). In a preregistered analysis plan, we hypothesized either faster reaction times attributed to arousal from odors in general, or to faces that were emotionally congruent with the odors. We also hypothesized time-on-task effects specific to the odor compared to the control condition. Using Bayesian linear models, we found strong evidence that the faces were rated as more arousing and emotional in odor contexts. However, the dot-probe task did in fact not provide an effective cue to selective visual attention, and odors did not modulate overall attention to the faces. However, we found a time-on-task effect such that in the unpleasant odor condition, response times decreased over time, whereas in the no-odor and pleasant condition there was a slight increase in response times. We conclude that time-on-task effects is an interesting venue for odor-visual interaction research, and such effects might explain inconsistent findings in the prior research literature.
Ethnographic Toolkit: Strategic Positionality and Researchers’ Visible and Invisible Tools in Field Research
Authors: Reyes;Reyes Victoria
Published: October 2018

For many, reflexivity is a core tenet in qualitative research. Often, scholars focus on how one or two of their socio-demographic traits compare to their participants and how it may influence field dynamics. Research that incorporates an intersectionality perspective, which brings attention to how people’s multiple identities are entwined, also has a long history. Yet, researchers tend to pay less attention to how we strategically draw on our multiple social positions in the course of field work. Drawing on data I have collected over the past several years and extending recent sociological work that goes beyond a reflexive accounting of one or two of researchers’ demographic characteristics, I argue that each researcher has their own ethnographic toolkit from which they strategically draw. It consists of researchers’ visible (e.g., race/ethnicity) and invisible tools (e.g., social capital) and ties qualitative methodologies to research on how culture is strategically and inconsistently used.
Infant Mortality Among German Settlers in the Nineteenth-Century Russian Empire
Authors: Gietel-Basten Stuart , Verropoulou Georgia , Ganly Rachel
Published: October 2018

Currently, very little is known about regional patterns of infant mortality rates [IMR] – or mortality more generally – in the Russian Empire during, and before, the mid-nineteenth century. In particular, what studies have been performed generally rely on the reproduction of aggregate statistics, rather than being based on individual-level data. The objective of this study is to (a) identify the extent to which registration is complete in a part of the historical Russian region of Bessarabia for the period 1833-1885 and, then, (b) identify trends of IMR in a part of the historical Russian region of Bessarabia for the period 1833-1885. The study utilises church records of births (N=21,984) and deaths (N=7,194) from the German colony of Glückstal, a village near modern-day Grigoriopol in Transnistria (Moldova). Three methods of calculating IMR are performed. While there appears to be a significant degree of under-reporting of births which is inconsistent over time as well as gaps in the data more generally, it is possible to account for much of this through adjustment post linkage. After accounting for this, a linked net IMR can be generated. The range over the period is around 100- 190, with some periods of crisis mortality. These figures are lower than has been reported for the region. The comparison of different methods of calculating IMRs suggest that birth registration may be incomplete, however. This means that nominative linkage is required to derive accurate rates and other statistics. The findings challenge the widely held view of very high IMRs across the Russian Empire in the nineteenth century. By utilising appropriate methods, this analysis suggests that such colony church records may represent a valuable source for further analysis of this neglected period in Russian demographic history.
Variation in structure and composition of two pine forests in Kailash Sacred Landscape, Nepal
Authors: Subedi C. K. , Gurung J. , Ghimire S. K. , Chettri N. , Pasakhala B. , Bhandari P. , Chaudhary R. P.
Published: October 2018

Chir pine (Pinus roxburghii Sarg.) and blue pine (Pinus wallichiana A.B. Jacks.) are two common species found in mid-hill forests of Nepal where households largely depend on forest resources for their livelihoods and subsistence. The management of such forests is supported by our understanding of the dynamics in forest structure and species composition and the relationship between different forest community characteristics. This study was designed to determine the variation in species composition and the relationship between various forest community characteristics in two pine forests of Kailash Sacred Landscape, Nepal. Quadrat sampling was applied to collect information on forest species, forest community structure, and disturbance factors.Data was statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS. There were a total of 31 plant species under 28 genera and 20 families in the P. roxburghii forest, and 38 plant species under 37 genera and 19 families in the P. wallichiana forest. Mean DBH, height and canopy diameter of P. roxburghii was 23.98 cm, 12.77 m and 1.97 m, respectively, and that of P. wallichiana was 31.5 cm, 11.48 m and 2.79 m, respectively. The relationship between DBH and both height and crown diameter showed strong relationships in the two forest types. In both  forests, DBH and height class distribution showed a hump-shaped (unimodal type) distribution with a greater proportion of medium-sized individuals that indicated disruptive forest regeneration. Fire and tree cut were significant disturbance factors in P. roxburghii forest, while grazing and trampling were significant in P. wallichiana forest. The extent of these disturbance factors as determinants of regeneration and species recruitment is important to assess for effective forest management. Banko JanakariA Journal of Forestry Information for NepalVol. 28, No. 1, 2018, page: 26-36

Resultados: en la posprueba hubo niveles de estrés iguales a la preprueba (RIQ: 49) (p: 0.79) y más bajos de ansiedad (RIQ:22 / RIQ:16) (p:0.004). Conclusiones: los participantes vivieron la experiencia (Me= 114); los programas basados en mindfulness generan una mejor percepción a nivel intra e interpersonal.
Hipoglicemia posprandial secundaria a síndrome dumping
Authors: Rojas William , González Adriana , Sánchez Pedro , Benavides Javier , Jaramillo Gilberto
Published: October 2018

La hipoglicemia en pacientes no diabéticos se define como un nivel sérico menor de 55 mg/dL que puede ser parte de la tríada de Whipple (síntomas de hipoglicemia, niveles bajos de glucosa sérica y resolución de la sintomatología tras la normalización de la glicemia). Puede ser mediada o no por insulina, dando manifestaciones en ayunas (posabsorptiva) o posprandiales (reactiva). Con el aumento de la cirugía bariátrica se ha observado una mayor incidencia de complicaciones como la hipoglicemia posprandial por el síndrome de dumping. Presentación del caso: paciente con antecedente de cirugía bariátrica y evidencia posoperatoria de hipoglicemia posprandial. Las pruebas de ayuno y de alimentos mixtos confirmó el síndrome de dumping. Discusión y conclusiones: la hipoglicemia es una urgencia médica frecuente, en la mayoría de los casos secundaria al uso de medicamentos en pacientes con diabetes mellitus. No obstante, en los no diabéticos puede presentarse de forma espontánea y estar relacionada con múltiples condiciones clínicas. En el posoperatorio de cirugía bariátrica, la aparición del síndrome de dumping puede ser incapacitante, con manifestaciones tempranas o tardías. El diagnóstico se basa en la clínica y en estudios funcionales e imagenológicos que confirmen la presencia de hipoglicemia posprandial y un rápido vaciamiento gástrico. El tratamiento inicial se basa en cambios en la alimentación, aunque pueden ser necesarios fármacos e incluso procedimientos quirúrgicos cuando hay refractariedad. Es por esto que la elección de los pacientes llevados a cirugía bariátrica debe ser realizado por un grupo multidisciplinario.

Authors: Parra Medina Rafael , Moreno Paula , Polo José Fernando , Bonilla Juan Carlos
Published: October 2018

Mujer de 26 años de edad que ingresa al servicio de urgencias deshidratada, en malas condiciones generales, con cuadro de diarrea de alto gasto asociada con dolor abdominal. Refiere antecedentes de asma en tratamiento con corticoterapia, neumonía bacteriana hace seis meses para la que recibió tratamiento por tres meses, con presencia de nódulo pulmonar sin etiología determinada. Durante la hospitalización presenta deterioro progresivo con signos de inflamación sistémica y fallece al tercer día de hospitalización. En el estudio macroscópico se observó el pericardio adherido al pulmón derecho, que al cortarlo hay salida de líquido purulento, aproximadamente 500 cc (figura 1A). En el lóbulo medio del pulmón derecho se reconoce absceso pulmonar y fistula que comunica al pericardio (figura 1B).  El examen microscópico revela en el parénquima pulmonar y en la luz bronquial ramificación filamentosa de Actinomyces spp, asociado con infiltrado agudo y crónico en la periferia (figura 2).
Successful Collaboration in Social Care Practice
Authors: Basic Goran
Published: October 2018

The aim of this ethnographic study is to analyse themes for ‘the successful collaborations’ that emerge from the study field notes on youth in Swedish juvenile care, and that can be interpreted as beneficial for these youth. These successful collaborations were observed, for instance, at meetings where the young persons were being discussed, and where an observer could distinguish planning for them that was carried out practically. The empirical base for this study is its total of 119 field observations/notes. The examples analysed reference a completed appointment for an eye test, a practical realization of active leisure, homework help and an internship placement that works. The coherence of three actors belonging to three different categories (coherent triads), and success points of interest that benefit the youth in the situation, create the image of a positive development for them. In this way, common identities of interplay that are useful for the young person are created and elucidated. The physical presence of the young person in these situations is an especially important theme for the ‘successful collaboration’. This study shows that trust and motivation are important aspects for a successful collaboration and inclusion of less powerful individuals and groups of individuals within a community. Young people discussed in this study receive confirmation of their identities by participating in the community, with a successful interaction between actors in juvenile care a prerequisite for successful involvement and integration.
Mrs. Robinson’s Revenge: Pete Seeger, Earl Robinson, and the Medicare Protest Song
Authors: Duffin Jacalyn , Pater Joseph L.
Published: October 2018

In 1962, Pete Seeger recorded “The Ballad of Doctor Dearjohn” about Canadian Medicare and the Saskatchewan doctors’ strike of the same year. How had this New Yorker, recently relieved of a jail sentence, learned of Medicare in the distant prairie province? And why was his song never released? This article traces the ballad’s fortunes through the papers of composer Earl Robinson (University of Washington) and the archives of the American Medical Association. It is situated in the historiography of folk revival and the expatriate adventures of artistic Americans persecuted in the McCarthy era.
Same-sex marriage beyond Charter dialogue: Charter cases and contestation within government
Authors: Cossman Brenda
Published: October 2018

In this article, I argue that the dialogue debate has obscured a much richer story that can be told about Halpern v Canada, same-sex marriage, and the complex relationship between courts and legislatures. The federal government was deeply divided on same-sex marriage. Parliament, the Liberal government, the federal Cabinet, and the liberal caucus were all deeply divided. From the outside, it may have appeared as a ‘courts versus government’ battle, with the federal government defending the opposite-sex definition of marriage right up until the Ontario Court of Appeal struck it down as unconstitutional in Halpern. But a closer look shows that the federal government’s about-face after Halpern had been in the making for years, with supporters trying to use court decisions as well as changing public opinion to wedge open the marriage issue. The same-sex marriage case study can be retold as a story not of dialogue between courts and Parliament but, rather, as a contestation within government. I argue that this story – of conflict and contestation within government and the use of court decisions by proponents of same-sex marriage – can provide a richer account of the evolution of the federal government and the adoption of the Civil Marriage Act.
Group RESPs: The intersection of government support for education savings and securities regulation
Authors: Henderson Gail E
Published: October 2018

Tax incentives encourage Canadian families to save for their children’s post-secondary education. In recent years, the federal government has created and enhanced incentives aimed specifically at low- to middle-income families. To access these incentives, families must open a ‘registered education savings plan’ (RESP). Approximately one-quarter of RESPs are invested in group plan RESPs. Group plan providers are regulated by securities laws. Group RESPs have a unique and complicated structure, which generates a high number of consumer complaints, particularly about the high, upfront fees. Group plan providers also have a long history of non-compliance with securities laws, including selling group plans to investors for whom they are not suitable. The combination of high, upfront fees and the lack of suitability is particularly harmful to low-income investors. A bad experience with a group RESP may lead the investor to avoid education savings altogether, thereby undermining the government’s policy goals in establishing incentives for low-income families and, ultimately, affecting the future path that may be taken by the potential beneficiaries of such savings. This article examines government incentives for education savings, the terms of group plans and their history of non-compliance, and puts forward three possible avenues for reform, including decoupling incentives aimed specifically at low- and middle-income families from having to open a RESP.
Une sépulture des troglodytes du Périgord (crânes des Eyzies)
Authors: Lartet L.
Published: October 2018

(par R. Nespoulet et D. Henry-Gambier) L’article de Louis Lartet, qu’il écrit à l’âge de 28 ans, reste un document princeps de référence, le seul qui donne un contexte à la découverte fortuite des vestiges humains au lieu-dit « Cro-Magnon », dans le village des Eyziesde- Tayac, au printemps 1868. C’est un véritable rapport d’expertise, commandité par Victor Duruy, ministre de l’Instruction publique de l’époque, dans le but de « vérifier l’authenticité de cette découverte » (p. 337). La mission de Louis Lartet comporte en effet une dimension politique. C’est le ministre qui commandite l’opération, et qui financera les nombreux moulages des fossiles distribués dès 1869 dans les musées d’archéologie. Les vestiges originaux, eux, seront ramenés à Paris, et conservés au Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle. Ils y demeurent encore aujourd’hui. Louis Lartet intervient non seulement au titre de sa filiation avec Édouard Lartet son père, fouilleur d’Aurignac et de plusieurs sites classiques de la vallée de la Vézère, mais aussi en tant que naturaliste à la double compétence en géologie et en préhistoire. À ce titre, sa mention à la « Pétra périgourdine » (p. 336) ne doit pas être comprise comme une référence romantique à une archéologie exotique, mais bien à son expérience de terrain au Proche-Orient. Le but principal de son expertise à Cro-Magnon est, au-delà de la confirmation de l’authenticité de la découverte, de prouver la grande ancienneté de la couche géologique qui a livré les vestiges humains. Par un focus progressif, de la lecture du paysage à la description détaillée et argumentée de la stratigraphie et de la position des différents objets archéologique découverts, Louis Lartet contextualise précisément les vestiges humains. Son observation géomorphologique du massif crétacé de la vallée de la Vézère, de la formation des abrissous- roche et de leur comblement par l’érosion, apporte ainsi la preuve que les dépôts de Cro-Magnon sont scellés par un long processus géologique. Louis Lartet réponds ainsi à la commande qui lui a été faite. À quelle espèce fossile appartiennent ces crânes et ces ossements ? Lartet renvoie prudemment la balle dans le camp des anthropologues de son époque. Quant à la datation du niveau ayant livré les vestiges humains, il ne s’y aventure pas. Il faudra attendre 136 ans pour qu’une réponse soit proposée. Elle modifiera radicalement notre perception des « sépultures » du Paléolithique supérieur en Périgord.
Primiparité après 35 ans : désir d’enfant et vécu de la grossesse
Authors: de Foucauld M.-I. , Wendland J.
Published: October 2018

Les grossesses après l’âge de 35 ans deviennent de plus en plus fréquentes à travers le monde. L’objectif de cette étude était d’explorer l’expérience de la grossesse et le désir d’enfant chez de futures mères primipares âgées de plus 35 ans (n = 10), comparées à des femmes enceintes âgées de moins de 35 ans (n = 10). Les femmes ont répondu à l’entretien IRMAG entre la 28e et la 32e semaine d’aménorrhée. Les femmes plus âgées montrent plus d’ambitions de carrière, plus d’expression d’ambivalence dans leur désir d’enfant et plus de difficultés d’intégration des changements corporels que les plus jeunes. Les femmes plus âgées ont tendance à avoir des représentations intégrées centrées sur soi, alors que les femmes plus jeunes ont davantage des représentations intégrées centrées sur l’enfant.
