Principles of Shortening in Salt Basins Containing Isolated Minibasins
Authors: Duffy Oliver , Dooley Timothy , Hudec Michael , Fernandez Naiara , Jackson Christopher , Soto Juan
Published: July 2020

Shortening styles in salt-influenced basins can vary markedly, with the volume and distribution of salt prior to shortening being a key control. Here we use a suite of physical models to examine styles of thin-skinned regional shortening in settings where the pre-shortening structure comprised minibasins surrounded by salt (‘isolated-minibasin’ provinces). Our models show that the high volume of mechanically-weak salt localizes lateral regional shortening, with shortening inducing salt flow towards the foreland that subsequently contributes to three key processes - translation, tilting and rotation of minibasins. First, we demonstrate that the flowing salt pushes against minibasins, propelling them in the regional shortening direction. Minibasin translation is enhanced by fast-flowing salt streams and impeded by basal friction due to welding and base-salt buttresses. Second, we show how minibasin tilt directions and magnitudes vary spatially and temporally during regional shortening. Minibasins tilt away from zones of pressurized salt, the locations of which may shift due to changes in salt flow regimes. Tilt directions may also change as minibasins pivot on primary welds, or due to forces associated with minibasin collision. Third, minibasins can rotate around sub-vertical axes during regional shortening. We speculate that this rotation is caused by a combination of: i) traction imparted on the minibasin boundary by differential horizontal flow of adjacent salt; and ii) pivoting on primary and secondary welds. We synthesize our results in a series of 3-D conceptual models, before we compare and contrast regional shortening styles and processes in salt-influenced basins with different pre-shortening salt configurations. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the geometry and kinematics of shortened salt basins, as well as a deeper understanding of the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of minibasins.
'Dark Patterns': the case for regulatory pluralism
Authors: Leiser Mark
Published: July 2020

‘Dark patterns’ is a term commonly used by the web collective to describe a user interface that exploits users into doing something that they would not normally do. It is a coercive and manipulative design technique used by web designers when some sort of action is needed from a user - typically to begin the processing of personal data or indication of agreement to a contract. As dark patterns can compromise legal requirements like consent and privacy-by-design and legal principles found in both regimes, like fairness and transparency, this article analyses ‘dark patterns’ from a regulatory perspective. Two frameworks are critiqued: the European Union’s regime for data privacy and consumer protection. The paper also provides an overview of the enforcement measures available for the regulation of dark patterns. It concludes that a pluralistic approach that mixes the strengths of one regulatory regime while compensating for its weaknesses by the use of the other is needed to harness dark patterns.
日本における新型コロナウイルス感染症をめぐる心理・行動に関する調査 ―予防行動・将来の見通し・情報拡散に焦点を当てた検討―
Authors: Sakakibara Ryota , Ozono Hiroki
Published: July 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious problem all over the world in 2020. In this study, a large-scale online survey was conducted in Japan to explore the determinants of infection preventive behaviors. In addition, this survey collected data on various attitudes and behaviors in this pandemic situation, including optimistic/pessimistic views and information dissemination behavior on social networking sites (SNS). The results showed that the infection risk perception of self and others were both associated with the preventive behaviors, but the social pressure was not. The results were unclear in regard to optimistic/pessimistic views for infection risk perception and prospect for the end of coronavirus outbreak. Surprisingly, information spreading via SNS was negatively associated with knowledge of COVID-19, which calls attention to the credibility of information on SNS. In addition, subjective evaluation of achievement in regard to preventive behaviors was higher for self than for other people. This suggests that a self-enhancement tendency may contribute to the evaluation of preventive behaviors. Despite limitations such as employing a cross-sectional survey design and using data collected only in Japan, our study provides useful insights into the determinants of infection preventive behaviors, information dissemination, and the self-enhancement tendency in the evaluation of preventive behaviors. These findings should be useful in preventing the spread of COVID-19 around the world and in preparing for a possible future pandemic.

Published: July 2020

Intensified anxiety responses and even symptoms of post-traumatic stress are commonly observed under quarantine conditions. In this study, the effects on fear, anxiety and wellbeing of the recent pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 were investigated in a sample of otherwise healthy Hungarians. Taking the family as a microsystem, differences in gender, age, family relationships and time spent in isolation were the main focus of this investigation. 346 parent-child dyads were examined; the children were 11-17 years of age. Standard psychological questionnaires (Perceived Stress Scale, WHO Wellbeing Index), and an open question test (the Metamorphosis test) were used, and the results analysed with the aid of basic statistical methods. Stress levels and wellbeing displayed a significant negative correlation with each other in both parents and children. Parental stress and levels of wellbeing had a weak but significant impact on the wellbeing of their children. Among the demographic variables examined, none of them was found to explain the wellbeing or stress level of parents. Natural catastrophes, such as pandemics, create a stressful social environment for parents, and therefore directly impact the psychological wellbeing of all family members.
Hypothalamus volume in men: Investigating associations with paternal status, self-reported caregiving beliefs and adult attachment style
Authors: Long Madison , Puhlmann Lara , Vrticka Pascal
Published: July 2020

Most studies on mammalian caregiving and attachment have focused on the mother-child relationship, particularly in humans. Yet, changing societal roles of male caregivers have highlighted the necessity for research with fathers. In this study, we examined the volume of the hypothalamus, an important subcortical brain area for caregiving and attachment, in a sample of N=50 fathering (child age 5-6 years) and N=45 nonfathering men using a novel technique to identify the human hypothalamus in 3T MRI. Furthermore, we employed three self-report measures to assess interindividual differences in adult attachment style across all men and caregiving beliefs in fathers. While we did not observe any significant difference in hypothalamus volume between fathers and non-fathers or associations between hypothalamus volume and self-reported adult attachment style across all men, self-reported caregiving beliefs were positively related to total hypothalamus volume in fathers. A follow-up analysis showed that fathers’ self-reported belief that a father’s role is important to child development was specifically related to tuberal hypothalamus volume, while self-reported enjoyment of spending time with the child was not associated with volume in hypothalamus sub-regions. Together, these findings suggest that interindividual variability in self reported caregiving beliefs in fathers is related to brain structure, warranting further research.
Censoring Political Opposition Online: Who Does it and Why

Published: July 2020

NOW PUBLISHED: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jesp.2020.104031 As ordinary citizens increasingly moderate online forums, blogs, and their own social media feeds, a new type of censoring has emerged wherein people selectively remove opposing political viewpoints from online contexts. In three studies of behavior on putative online forums, supporters of a political cause (e.g., abortion or gun rights) preferentially censored comments that opposed their cause. The tendency to selectively censor cause-incongruent online content was amplified among people whose cause-related beliefs were deeply rooted in or “fused with” their identities. Moreover, six additional identity-related measures also amplified the selective censoring effect. Finally, selective censoring emerged even when opposing comments were inoffensive and courteous. We suggest that because online censorship enacted by moderators can skew online content consumed by millions of users, it can systematically disrupt democratic dialogue and subvert social harmony.
Quantitative and qualitative analysis of segmental dielectric relaxations and space charge by TSDC in nanocomposites of natural rubber/clay
Authors: Martínez L. A. , Perera R. , Tarife L.
Published: July 2020

The effect of adding three different layered clays, a sodium montmorillonite and two commercial modified montmorillonites, on the morphology and molecular dynamics of natural rubber characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy and Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Currents (TSDC) was studied. Carbon black was employed as reinforcing filler in a standard compound prepared and used for comparison purposes. The morphological results revealed that the sample with Cloisite\circledR 15A displays the highest degree of exfoliation, which suggests a stronger compatibility between the organic and inorganic phases. When the dispersion degree increases, a decrease of the activation energy was found from the quantitative analysis of the space charge dielectric relaxations.  From the qualitative analysis of the dipolar dielectric relaxations around $T_{g}$, changes in  the dielectric relaxation profile and in the peak localization were attributed to probable interactions between the nanofillers and the elastomer in the glass transition region of the NR.

Low-level moisture advection as a trigger mechanism for atmospheric convection and a predictor of its forecast
Authors: Mishchenko N. M. , Panova Y. L. , Hrushevskyi O. M.
Published: July 2020

The convective phenomena forecast in the operational practice of meteorological units is made on the basis of radiosonde data for 00 and 12 GMT allowing to obtain a number of quantitative characteristics of atmospheric convection. Particularly, the frequency analysis of different gradations of CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) index for the cases of thunderstorms, the one that is most commonly used for the forecast of convective phenomena, shows that the highest frequencies are associated with the gradations that do not provide sufficient grounds for the forecast of convective phenomena availability. This approach is of low efficiency due to the inability of tracking the dynamics of changes in the meteorological values' structure across the convection layer. In contrast to the distribution of CAPE index gradation frequencies, the frequency analysis of CIN (Convective Inhibition) index for the cases of thunderstorms shows that its largest values fall within the range characterizing the favourable conditions for convective phenomena. Thus, according to the radiosonde data in 00 GMT, CIN index has a greater predictive significance than CAPE index.

The possibility of increasing the lability energy magnitude after 00 GMT during thunderstorms formation was demonstrated on the basis of radiosonde data with 6-hour interval. This actualizes the need for diagnosis and forecast of the processes contributing to such growth. The article describes the way in which radiosonde data may be combined with the numerical simulation data in order to forecast deep convection. In particular, it shows that such trigger mechanism, a low-level moisture advection, contributes to realization of nonlocal conditional instability of atmosphere NcI. 

In the reviewed cases, the moisture advection in the atmospheric boundary layer either precedes or accompanies the thunderstorm activity. The intensity of moisture advection and its duration have a direct impact on the intensity and duration of thunderstorms. The most prominent levels of low-level moisture advection to “start” the thunderstorm are 975 and 925 hPa levels. The initialization of thunderstorm activity through moisture advection in the atmospheric boundary layer is shown on the diagram clearly demonstrating it.

It is important that this mechanism can be diagnosed based on GFS predicted data and used to forecast the intensity and duration of convective phenomena.

Vs sustainable development: scenarios for the future
Authors: YURAK Vera , DUSHIN Alexey , MOCHALOVA Lyudmila
Published: July 2020

Issues of sustainable development began to concern mankind starting from the 20th century, when mass industrialization and the depletion of natural resource potential contributed to the formulation of environmental issues at one of the leading places in scientific discourse. However, what if the goals of sustainable development would not be achieved to 2030? What other way we can identify for humanity to survive? So, the study is about the problems of studying the understanding of the term “sustainable development”, considering the evolution of the formation of the concept of sustainable development and analyzing the modern goals of sustainable development for attainability. From an analysis of domestic and foreign experience, possible scenarios of the development of mankind are identified (such as 1. Creating an environmental framework, 2. Implementation of sustainable nature management practices in the conditions of natural and man-made objects, 3. Implementation of “geoengineering projects”, 4. Construction of autonomous ecosystems, 5. Space exploration in search of a new planet for life, provided that the goals of sustainable development would not be achieved. It has been established that today probability of achieving all the sustainable development goals by 2030 is too small, and the indicated scenarios require, firstly, the development of science and technology, and secondly, a competent assessment of the value of nature and solving the issue of specifying property rights for natural goods.

Published: July 2020

Financial time-series forecasting, and profit maximization is a challenging task, which has attracted the interest of several researchers and is immensely important for investors. In this paper, we present a deep learning system, which uses a variety of data for a subset of the stocks on the NASDAQ exchange to forecast the stock price. Our framework allows the use of a variational autoencoder (VAE) to remove noise and time-series data engineering to extract higher-level features. A Stacked LSTM Autoencoder is used to perform multi-step-ahead prediction of the stock closing price. This prediction is used by two profit-maximization strategies that include greedy approach and short selling. Besides, we use reinforcement learning as a third profit-enhancement strategy and compare these three strategies to offline strategies that use the actual future prices. Results show that the proposed methods outperform the state-of-the-art time-series forecasting approaches in terms of predictive accuracy and profitability.

Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE: To explore the specific contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) features of hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) according to their pathological molecular classifications. METHODS & MATERIALS: In this retrospective study, fifty-three histopathologically proved HCA lesions (mean size, 39.7±24.9 mm) were included. Final histopathological diagnosis of HCA lesions were identified by surgical resection (n = 51) or biopsy (n = 2) specimens. CEUS imaging features were compared among four subgroups according to World Health Organization (WHO) 2019 pathological molecular classifications standards. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for statistical analysis of continuous variables. Fisher’s exact test were used for categorical variables. The sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), and accuracy of CEUS feature in diagnosis of each HCA subtype were calculated and compared. RESULTS: Final histopathological diagnosis included HNF-1α inactivated HCAs (H-HCA, n = 12), β-catenin activated HCAs (B-HCA, n = 8), inflammatory HCAs (I-HCA, n = 31), and unclassified HCAs (U-HCA, n = 2). During arterial phase of CEUS, all HCAs were hyper-enhanced, 66.6% (8/12) of H-HCAs and 50% (4/8) of B-HCAs displayed complete hyperenhancement, whereas 58.0% (18/31) of I-HCAs showed centripetal filling hyperenhancement pattern (P = 0.016). Hyper-enhanced subcapsular arteries could be detected in 64.5% (20/31) I-HCAs during early arterial phase. During portal venous and late phase, sustained hyper- or iso-enhancement were observed in 91.7% (11/12) of H-HCAs, while most of I-HCAs (61.3%, 19/31) and B-HCAs (7/8, 87.5%) were hypo-enhanced (P = 0.000). Central unenhanced areas were most commonly observed in I-HCAs (29.0%, 9/31) (P = 0.034). CONCLUSION: Depending on its unique imaging features including enhancement filling pattern, hyper-enhanced subcapsular artery and presence of washout, CEUS might provide helpful diagnostic information for preoperative prediction of various HCA molecular subtypes.

Published: July 2020

Background: Neuronal accumulation of hyperphosphorylated and truncated tau aggregates is one of the major defining factors and key drivers of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies. Objective: We developed an AAV-induced model of tauopathy mediated by human truncated tau protein without familial frontotemporal dementia-related mutations to study tau propagation and the functional consequences of tau pathology. Methods: We performed targeted transductions of the hippocampus or entorhinal cortex in adult mice followed by histological analysis to study the progression of hippocampal tau pathology and tau spreading. We performed behavioral analysis of mice with AAV-induced hippocampal tau pathology. Results: AAV-induced hippocampal tau pathology was characterized by tau hyperphosphorylation (AT8 positivity), sarkosyl insolubility, and the presence of neurofibrillary tangles. AAV-induced tau pathology was associated with microgliosis and hypertrophic astrocytes in the absence of cognitive deficits. Additionally, the co-expression of mCherry fluorescent protein and human truncated tau enabled us to detect both local spreading of human tau and spreading from the entorhinal cortex to the synaptically connected dentate gyrus. Conclusion: Targeted delivery of AAV with truncated tau protein into subcortical and cortical structures of mammalian brains represents an efficient approach for creating temporally and spatially well-defined tau pathology suitable for in vivo studies of tau propagation and neuronal circuit deficits in Alzheimer’s disease.

Background: The diagnostic workup for choreiform movement disorders including Huntington’s disease (HD) and those mimicking HD like phenotype is complex. Objective: The aim of the present study was to genetically define HD and HD-like presentations in an Indian cohort. We also describe HTT-CAG expansion manifesting as neuroferritinopathy-like disorder in four families from Punjab in India. Materials and methods: 159 patients clinically diagnosed as HD and HD-like presentations from various tertiary neurology clinics were referred to our centre (CSIR-IGIB) for genetic investigations. As a first tier test, CAG-TNR for HTT was performed and subsequently HD-negative samples were screened for JPH3 (HDL2), TBP (SCA17), ATN1 (DRPLA), PPP2R2B (SCA12) and GGGGCC expansion in C9orf72 gene. Four families presenting as neuroferritinopathy-like disorder were also investigated for HTT-CAG expansion. Results: 94 of 159 (59%) patients were found to have expanded HTT-CAG repeats. Pathogenic repeat expansion in JPH3, TBP, ATN1 and C9orf72 were not found in HD negative cases. Two patients were positive for SCA12-CAG expansion in pathogenic length, whereas 5 cases harboured TBP-CAG repeats falling in reduced penetrance range of 41– 48 repeats for SCA17. Four unrelated families, presented with atypical chorea and brain MRI findings suggestive of basal ganglia abnormalities mimicking neuroferritinopathy were found to harbour HTT-CAG expansion. Conclusion: We present SCA12 as a new reported phenocopy of HD which should be considered for diagnostic workout along with SCA17 for HD-like syndromes. This study also illustrates the necessity, to consider evolving HD like phenotype, as a clinical diagnosis for cases with initial manifestations depicting neuroferritinopathy.

An improved fast segmentation algorithm for text and graphics data
Authors: Li Zhancang
Published: July 2020

The application of video and image segmentation is carried out from the aspects of improving the accuracy of segmentation and reducing the calculation time, but the segmentation result is affected by the initial curve position, so this paper proposes a new method. As an important part of the Internet, pictures are usually used to help visitors understand. The image contains a lot of deep-level video information, which is an important basis for video content retrieval and data analysis. In this paper, combining the texture and edge features of the image in the process of text location, a multi-scale Gabor filter bank is proposed to transform the original image, and a priori knowledge of the text region is used to process the non-text object in the transform result. In the part of extracting text from pictures, and improved TF-IDF algorithm, BC-TF-IDF algorithm, is proposed to extract text from pictures. To ensure the integrity of the extracted image, the Sobel algorithm is used to process the image in the edge extraction step. Finally, the above method is applied to the Weibo network, and a system of collecting and recognizing the character content of the Weibo image is set up, which completes the function of collecting and gradually recognizing the Weibo image, and verifies the proposed localization method.

A novel ranking function-based triangular intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree analysis method
Authors: Zhou Hui , Ren Haiping
Published: July 2020

In reliability field, the probabilities of basic events are often treated as exact values in conventional fault tree analysis. However, for many practical systems, because the concept of events may be ambiguous, the factors affecting the occurrence of events are complex and changeable, so it is difficult to obtain accurate values of the occurrence probability of events. Fuzzy sets can well deal with these situations. Thus this paper will develop a novel fault tree analysis method in the assumption of the values of probability of basic events expressed with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. First, a new ranking function of triangular intuitionistic numbers is established, which can reflect the behavior factors of the decision maker. Then a novel fault tree analysis method is put forward on the basis of operational laws and the proposed ranking function of triangular intuitionistic numbers. Finally, an example of weapon system “automatic gun” is employed to show that the proposed fault tree analysis method is feasible and effective.
Similarity measure for multi-granularity rough approximations of vague sets
Authors: Yang Jie , Zhou Wei , Li Shuai
Published: July 2020

Vague sets are a further extension of fuzzy sets. In rough set theory, target concept can be characterized by different rough approximation spaces when it is a vague concept. The uncertainty measure of vague sets in rough approximation spaces is an important issue. If the uncertainty measure is not accurate enough, different rough approximation spaces of a vague concept may possess the same result, which makes it impossible to distinguish these approximation spaces for charactering a vague concept strictly. In this paper, this problem will be solved from the perspective of similarity. Firstly, based on the similarity between vague information granules(VIGs), we proposed an uncertainty measure with strong distinguishing ability called rough vague similarity (RVS). Furthermore, by studying the multi-granularity rough approximations of a vague concept, we reveal the change rules of RVS with the changing granularities and conclude that the RVS between any two rough approximation spaces can degenerate to granularity measure and information measure. Finally, a case study and related experiments are listed to verify that RVS possesses a better performance for reflecting differences among rough approximation spaces for describing a vague concept.

Transitioning to Communicative Activities in Teaching English as a Foreign Language in the Dominican Republic
Authors: Martínez-Gómez Alberto
Published: July 2020

In the last decade, the Communicative Approach has taken an important position within the English language teaching world. Many countries have abandoned their traditional teaching methods to implement this approach. The objectives of this research were to analyze the transitioning to communicative activities in Teaching English as a foreign language in the Dominican Republic, to identify the communicative activities to which the students were more receptive, to research students’ attitudes while developing communicative activities, and lastly, to analyze new strategies for successful communicative activities. To carry out the investigation, three interventions were carried out in the classroom where activities such as role-play, group work, mingle, information transfer, opinion sharing, and information gap were implemented. Two interviews were administered to learners. Participant observation was implemented as well as the teacher’s diary and note-taking as a way of record the events. Interviews revealed that students had a great disposition towards group work as well as having conversations and activities that involved giving opinions. They also showed that close attention should be paid to activities that involve speaking in front of the class as they raised students’ stress levels. According to students’ performance and answers during the sessions, group work, information gap, and opinion sharing activities activated their motivation to a greater extent. Modeling and giving clear instructions was fundamental to overcome linguistic gaps that emerged during the sessions. The progressive integration of the target language was more convenient while implementing communicative activities.

Authors: Bagus Riadi
Published: July 2020

The emergence of the terms Third World, Developing Countries, and North-South seemed to be a concept to separate the good country and the bad country. The term is consumed by the Third World community and awakens to the body that we live in a country where conditions are not supposed to be this way. Disclosure of information and communication through globalization makes the Third World begin to recognize democracy. The poor Third World state economic conditions, the end of the Cold War, and the collapse of the Berlin Wall became a series of events that made democracy legitimate as a truth. So as to create a pro-democracy group in the Third World that forces the state to implement democracy. Coupled with the presence of democratic indicators to assess democratic and undemocratic countries, making Third World countries vying to take the indicator to become the most democratic country. This shows that democracy is already believed to be a truth regime. Democracy in the Third World is followed by capitalism which ultimately exacerbates conditions in Third World countries, so that Third World coutries are caught in global capitalism. Using the concept of Michel Foucault, the hegemony of democracy will be described as a discourse that creates disciplinary power for Third World societies to be able to accept democracy and believe in democracy as a truth.

The recent global pandemic, involving restrictions on movement, social distancing and the displacement of many work activities to the home, has created an upsurge of interest in changes in the distribution and sequencing of our daily activities. Time use diary data is recognised as the leading source of evidence on this topic. The purpose of this paper is to provide a timely overview of the current state-of-the-art in respect of the designs of time use surveys with a view to online/smartphone deployment. It has three parts: firstly, we briefly summarise the main reasons for using diaries to collect time use information (as opposed to survey questions), and we sketch out the long tradition of time-use research from which these designs emerged. We then outline the main methods currently deployed to collect time use data, with the focus on online and smartphone app instruments. Finally, we present a detailed example of a specific kind of online diary design, the Click-and-Drag Diary Instrument (CaDDI), that may be of particular interest in respect of the sudden demand for new data on time use as it is both user-friendly to complete and capable of timely adaptation and deployment.

Authors: Yusuf Abdul Azeez , Ishola Abdullahi Saliu
Published: July 2020

A critical examination of the farewell address of Prophet Muhammad during his pilgrimage in the 7th century reveals that the pronouncements made therein pass messages on conducts that cuts across various sectors of human values and attitudinal characteristics. Though, the address was delivered hundreds of years before the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights in 1948, but it is, however, acknowledged as a significant and valuable human rights codes ever bequeathed to mankind, in the sense that the majority of issues on human rights that are now universally celebrated and jealously guided, such as rights to life, property, dignity, freedom from discrimination, rights of the women, to mention but a few, were taken from this address. Thus, the address deserves a special examination to appreciate the rubric of thought provoking issues raised by the Prophet as they are found to inure to the advancement of human rights in the contemporary era. To this end, this paper examines the various human rights issues raised in the address with the aim of comparing it with the modern human rights declarations. The conclusion drawn from the study is that, without an in-depth understanding of the messages of this farewell address, a study of human rights in International law cannot be said to have been completed. Also, any modern study on the historical foundation of human rights declaration will be missing a significant landmark period without objective consideration and reference to this historic farewell address.
Témoignage de l'actualité médicale du temps: Le Mallade de Marguerite de Navarre (c. 1535)
Authors: Winn Colette H.
Published: July 2020

Written around 1535, Le Mallade bears witness, as V.-L. Saulnier puts it, to Marguerite de Navarre’s effort to reconcile the official Church dogma with the new Evangelical faith following the Affaire des Placards. But in addition to its documentary value for France’s religious history, this play presents a real scientific interest, which has been neglected until now. Specifically, Le Mallade deals with sixteenth-century attitudes towards sickness and health, different types of medical approaches, and various debates which divided the medical circles of the time on such questions as surgery, bloodletting, and human suffering. This article also examines related issues, including remedies, superstitions, the cult of saints, and the relation between science and faith, as well as a woman’s duty to assist her husband and her family members in sickness and health. Marguerite de Navarre’s intention was to show that “God is the true savior of man.” In order to authenticate the medical metaphor familiar to contemporary Christians that conveyed this idea (“Deus medicus”) and create a sense of urgency, she represents the daily suffering of a patient and the inefficicacy of the medical care that he receives. As for the figure of the charitable, caring wife, it provided a means by which Marguerite could rehabilitate her own image in the trying times that followed the year 1534.
