Spatial and temporal patterns of plantation forests in the United States since the
1930s: An annual and gridded data set for regional Earth system modeling
Authors: Chen Guangsheng , Pan Shufen , Hayes Daniel J. , Tian Hanqin
Published: April 2017

Abstract. Plantation forest area in the conterminous United States (CONUS) ranked second among the world’s nations in the land area apportioned to forest plantation management. As compared to the naturally-regenerated forests, plantation forests demonstrate significant differences in biophysical characteristics, and biogeochemical and hydrological cycles as a result of more intensive management practices. Inventory data have been reported for multiple time periods at plot, state and regional scales across the CONUS, but there lacks the requisite annual and spatially-explicit plantation data set over a long-term period for analysis of the role of plantation management at regional or national scale. Through synthesizing multiple inventory data sources, this study developed methods to spatialize the time series plantation forest and tree species distribution data for the CONUS over the 1928–2012 time period. According to this new data set, plantation forest area increased from near zero in the 1930s to 268.27 thousand km2 by 2012, accounting for 8.65 % of the total forest land area in the CONUS. Regionally, the South contained the highest proportion of plantation forests, accounting for about 19.34 % of total forest land area in 2012. This time series and gridded data set developed here can be readily applied in regional Earth system modeling frameworks for assessing the impacts of plantation management practices on forest productivity, carbon and nitrogen stocks, and greenhouse gas (e.g., CO2, CH4 and N2O) and water fluxes at regional or national scales. The gridded plantation distribution and tree species maps, the state-level tree planting area and plantation distribution area during 1928–2012 are available from doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.873558.
Constraints on post-depositional isotope modifications in East
Antarctic firn from analysing temporal changes of isotope profiles
Authors: Münch Thomas , Kipfstuhl Sepp , Freitag Johannes , Meyer Hanno , Laepple Thomas
Published: April 2017

Abstract. Stable water isotopes in firn and ice cores are extensively used to infer past climate changes. In low-accumulation regions their interpretation is however challenged by poorly constrained effects that may influence the initial isotope signal during and after deposition. This is reflected in snow-pit isotope data from Kohnen Station, Antarctica, which exhibit a clear seasonal cycle but also strong inter-annual variations that contradict local temperature observations. These inconsistencies persist even after averaging many profiles and are thus not explained by local stratigraphic noise. Previous studies have suggested that post-depositional processes may significantly influence the isotopic composition of East Antarctic firn. Here, we reject the hypothesis of post-depositional change within the open-porous firn beyond diffusion and densification. To this end, we analyse 22 stable water isotope profiles obtained from two snow trenches at Kohnen Station and examine the temporal isotope modifications by comparing the new with published trench data extracted 2 years earlier. The initial isotope profiles undergo changes over time due to downward-advection, firn diffusion and densification in magnitudes consistent with independent estimates. Beyond that, we find no evidence for additional modification of the original isotope record. These results show that the discrepancy between local temperatures and isotopes most likely originates from spatially coherent processes prior to or during deposition, such as precipitation intermittency or systematic isotope modifications acting on drifting or loose surface snow.
Plagio electrónico: la otra cara del APA

El presente artículo trata sobre el tema del plagio electrónico. Dicho documento se estructura en tres partes. Al inicio se aborda el plagio desde el ámbito epistémico que tiene una relación, quizás no tan directa, con la verdad como adecuación, a través de un procedimiento científico que busca resultados, entre un sujeto y un objeto. Seguidamente se analiza desde el ámbito de la ética, donde circula en forma de penalizaciones y observancia de procedimientos, normas y deberes a guardar en la diferencia perfecta entre un original y un fraude. Posteriormente se analiza el aspecto estético donde encuentra su nudo y complejidades más fecundas, pues, es el terreno del original, como obra de arte, y su reproductibilidad mecánica, y hoy electrónica, que la despoja de toda singularidad y la abre al nuevo poder de participación de los usuarios, en el sentido de Walter Benjamín, reenviándola al campo epistémico. Por último, se presentan tres escenarios, con el propósito de luchar como creyentes en tierra de infieles; a negociar otras condiciones; o a rendirnos con honor y dignidad.Revista Humanismo y Cambio Social.

Published: April 2017

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a viabilidade de utilização da madeira de Genipa americana para produção de painéis de colagem lateral. O material foi coletado num plantio florestal localizado na região de Tomé Açu, estado do Pará. Foram avaliadas as propriedades físicas e químicas da madeira e qualidade da colagem lateral. A colagem foi realizada com os adesivos poliacetato de vinila (PVA) e emulsão polimérica de isocianato (EPI), com diferentes gramaturas (180 g/m2 e 220 g/m2) e tempos de prensagem (3 e 4 horas). A qualidade de colagem foi avaliada por meio do ensaio de cisalhamento da linha de cola com base na norma EN 13353 e EN 13354. Os resultados indicaram que a madeira de Genipa americana possui massa especifica média de 0,607 g/cm3, teor de extrativos de 6,99% e 0,61% de materiais inorgânicos. O adesivo PVA não apresentou bons resultados de colagem. A gramatura não afetou significativamente a resistência ao cisalhamento das juntas coladas com o adesivo EPI, no entanto, foi influenciada significativamente pelo tempo de prensagem. Pode-se concluir que a madeira de Genipa americana possui viabilidade técnica para produção de painéis de colagem lateral, sendo recomendado para sua produção o adesivo EPI com gramatura de 220 g/m2 e tempo de prensagem de 4 horas.

Published: April 2017

The purpose of this paper is to explore the change experienced by the Italian listed companies through the implementation of integrating reporting. The objective of this study is to shed light on the company’s moving reasons towards integrating reporting and on its effects on the company’s thinking approach.This paper builds on multi-source data gathered through web-site visits, company materials and interviews, according to an interpretive case study approach.The authors found that the process of change experienced by the selected companies deserves consideration for at least two reasons: on the one hand, as a transition from a stand alone to an integrated thinking approach; on the other hand, as a transition from an implicit to a more explicit approach to sustainability.The paper is, to the best of the knowledge, the first one to explore the process of change experienced by the Italian listed companies through the implementation of integrated reporting.
Combining ant colony optimization with 1-opt local search method for solving constrained forest transportation planning problems
Authors: Lin Pengpeng , Dai Ruxin , Contreras Marco A. , Zhang Jun
Published: April 2017

We developed a two-stage approach (ACOLS) combining the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm and a 1-opt local search to solve forest transportation planning problems (FTPPs) considering fixed and variables costs and sediment yields expected to erode from road surfaces as side constraints. The ACOLS was designed for improving ACO performance and ensure the applicability to real-world, large-scale FTPPs with multiple time periods. It consists of three major routines: i) least-cost route finding process from all timber sales simultaneously, ii) two stage search process developed to quickly find feasible (stage I) and high-quality (stage II) solutions and, iii) 1-opt local search solution refinement to further improve solution quality. The ACOLS was first applied to a medium-scale hypothetical FTPP on which four cases with increasing level of sediment constraint were considered. To test for robustness, the ACOLS was then applied to ten different problems instances created basing on the same topology of the hypothetical FTPP. Lastly, the ACOLS was applied to a real-world, large-scale FTPP considering thousands of roads segments, hundreds of timber sales, and multiple products and planning periods. Feasible solutions were found for all cases indicating the usefulness of our approach to provide managers with an efficient tool to address large-scale transportation problems.
Critical Incidents Typically Emerging during the Post-Formation Phase of a New Venture: Perspectives for Entrepreneurship Education and Start-Up Counselling
Authors: Heinrichs Karin , Jacklin Benjamin
Published: April 2017

During the post-formation phase, young ventures are often in danger of sliding into bankruptcy. The entrepreneur has to deal with a multitude of complex problems, decisions have to be made under time pressure or uncertainty, and upcoming crises have to be perceived in time. This paper presents seven critical incidents that are (1) realistic, typical, and likely to emerge during the first years of a start-up’s existence, (2) assumed to cause severe financial crises for the new venture, but (3) possible to be overcome by the entrepreneur if he makes appropriate decisions. Seven incidents were developed on a theoretical basis and then empirically validated by questionnaires presented to (future) entrepreneurs and start-up counsellors (n = 627) as well as to a sample of students who are at least interested or even engaged in the field of entrepreneurship (n = 367). The incidents reveal likely challenges for entrepreneurs in the post-formation phase. This discovery opens new perspectives for preparing entrepreneurs to deal with the typical risks of the post-formation phase. For example, these lessons provide opportunity for an application within case-oriented courses of entrepreneurship in higher and vocational education and opportunity for reflection on probable emerging crises in start-up counselling.

A próposito das noções de resistência e tomada de posição na análise de discurso: Movimentos de resitsência nos processos de identificação com o ser paraguaio
Authors: De Nardi Fabiele Stockmans , Nascimento Felipe Augusto Santana do
Published: April 2017

Este artigo propõe um retorno às noções de resistência e tomada de posição no âmbito da Análise de Discurso pecheuxtiana, mediante a observação de como a noção de sujeito foi reconfigurada no interior da própria teoria, permitindo uma abertura para se pensar a reprodução-transformação da luta de classes. A consideração da contradição como inerente ao discurso e a interpelação do sujeito como um ritual sempre sujeito à falha permitem observar não apenas a sujeição a um discurso, mas os movimentos de transformação e resistência que são produzidos pelo sujeito a partir de sua inserção em determinada formação discursiva, fazendo-nos olhar para a heterogeneidade como inerente a esse espaço. Para pensar a relação entre resistência e tomadas de posição, analisamos uma série de enunciados que se vinculam à declaração do líder dos carperos do Paraguai, Eulálio Lopez, em que este nega a existência dos brasiguaios. Mediante a análise destes enunciados, procurar-se-á pontuar os movimentos de tomada de posição e resistência dos sujeitos a esses dizeres, discutindo a amplitude das noções de resistência e de tomada de posição na AD e sua produtividade na prática analítica.
Extending Our Reach: Automatic Integration of Course and Subject Guides
Authors: Fagerheim Britt , Lundstrom Kacy , Davis Erin , Cochran Dory
Published: April 2017

Librarians at the Utah State University (USU) Merrill-Cazier Library started working with LibGuides in 2007, and USU subject librarians quickly adopted the system. USU is a land-grant institution with a main campus of 14,000 students and several smaller regional campuses and centers throughout the state, many of which rely heavily on online resources. After seven years of working with LibGuides, a product of Springshare, approximately seven hundred research guides had been published. The guides varied in purpose and design, and we did not have a consistent or clear view of how students found or used them. We also did not have a template or a structured design, beyond some general best practices. Over time, we started to consider questions around the visibility of LibGuides, more effective ways to integrate LibGuides into courses, and possibilities of using emerging technologies to reach students where they study and conduct research. While the library had already begun manually integrating guides into Canvas, USU’s learning management system (LMS), as a way to extend our online presence, we sought a more automated integration with course and subject guides.

Published: April 2017

This study aims at identifying the main obstacles to optimizing the provision of public services to the districts in the island areas and to discussing the prototype model of asymmetric decentralization in providing public services to the island areas. This study was conducted in three districts of small islands at the Tual city of Maluku province namely the districts of Kur Island, South Kur Island, and Tayando Tam island. The data were collected through triangulation of sources and methods. The informants were selected based on consideration of the position and competence of the required information. The methods were the in-depth interview, observation, documentation, and the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results showed that there were three main obstacles in providing public services to the districts in the island areas. Firstly, the partial authority of Mayor of Tual city had not given yet to the Head of Districts based on the Article 226 of Law No. 23 in 2014 about Regional Government. Secondly, the transportation for the islands was inadequacy and the natural conditions were challenging that obstructed the mobility of citizens to access the service center and it was difficult for officers to reach people who want to be served. Thirdly, the lack of resources (human resources, funds, and facilities) in some districts at the island areas. To overcome those problems, specific autonomous was required by island province that concerned different treatment settings to the districts within the island areas namely the expansion of authority, the increase in the position, and the development of resources and the organizational capacity and districts management.
Is Malaysian Islamic Home Financing Bay′ Bithaman Al-Ajil (‘BBA’) Compatible with Islamic Law? A Critical Examination on The Issue of ‘Beneficial Ownership’
Authors: Md Dahlan Nuarrual Hilal , Noor Fauziah Mohd , Shuib Mohd Sollehudin
Published: April 2017

Islamic Banking has been established since 1980s in Malaysia. It was initially commenced with the incorporation of Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB) in 1983. Until today, Islamic Banking has robustly developed in Malaysia providing various kinds of Islamic transaction products including Islamic home finance. Various Islamic home finance products have been introduced and practised in Malaysia. Among the products are: Bay′ Bithaman al-Ajil (BBA), Musharakah al-Mutanaqisah (MM), Commodity Murabahah and Ijarah. Nonetheless, there are many issues in these products when faced with the problems of abandoned housing projects. One of the issues is the issue of beneficial ownership in BBA. It is evident that, the application of BBA is proven to be defective and contains many flaws, if involves abandoned housing projects in Malaysia. This paper aims to highlight this issue and provide solutions to the issues discussed. This paper used shariah (Islamic Law) doctrinal and qualitative case study research methodologies. This paper finds that the current terms in the BBA are inadequate and warranted it to be provided with equitable terms on beneficial ownership thus can fully comply with the requirements of the shariah. The outcome of this paper will help the Islamic banking industry in dealing with issues arising from ‘beneficial ownership’ in transaction involving abandoned housing projects in Malaysia.

Authors: Mitchell Brendan , Alfuraih Abdulrahman
Published: April 2017

2014 realized the introduction of a comprehensive English language teaching curriculum, the English Language Curriculum for Elementary, Intermediate and Secondary Schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Grades 4 - 12, 2014 - 2020. This research paper seeks to provide an inclusive timeline of the development (English language) education from the time King AbdulAziz Ibn Saud united the Arabian Peninsula and created the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The chronology of English language curriculum reforms and education development provide evidence of a country seeking to define itself. Oil wealth drastically altered the Kingdom’s fortunes and provided it with choices, development and opportunities. Recently, Tatweer Company for Educational Services in partnership with the Ministry of Education has provided customized English language textbooks and supplementary material complemented by a range of professional development programs. However, as recent research suggests there is more than needs to be done to support the continual improvement in the learning and teaching of English as the Kingdom continues to move into the developed world with less reliance on oil and a focus on becoming a knowledge based society. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s National Transformation Program and Vision 2030 support and provide the blueprint for this goal to be achieved.
Between tikkun olam and self-defense: Young Jewish Americans debate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Authors: Ben Hagai Ella , Zurbriggen Eileen L.
Published: April 2017

In this study, we examined processes associated with ingroup members’ break from their ingroup and solidarity with the outgroup. We explored these processes by observing the current dramatic social change in which a growing number of young Jewish Americans have come to reject Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. We conducted a yearlong participant observation and in-depth interviews with 27 Jewish American college students involved in Israel advocacy on a college campus. Findings suggest that Jewish Americans entering the Jewish community in college came to learn about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a lens of Jewish vulnerability. A bill proposed by Palestinian solidarity organizations to divest from companies associated with Israel (part of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions or BDS movement) was also interpreted through the lens of Israel's vulnerability. As the college’s Student Union debated the bill, a schism emerged in the Jewish community. Some Jewish students who had a strong sense of their Jewish identity and grounded their Judaism in principles of social justice exhibited a greater openness to the Palestinian narrative of the conflict. Understanding of Palestinian dispossession was associated with the rejection of the mainstream Jewish establishment’s unconditional support of Israel. Moreover, dissenting Jewish students were concerned that others in the campus community would perceive them as denying the demands of people of color. We discuss our observations of the process of social change in relation to social science theories on narrative acknowledgment and collective action.

Published: April 2017

Underwater wireless sensor network is an emerging wireless networking technology (UWSN). UWSN has various applications for example it can be used for monitoring seismic activities, underwater animal, pipeline etc. UWSN face challenges in their MAC later operations. Different energy efficient MAC protocols have been proposed for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) to overcome the problem of propagation delays which is inherent in underwater acoustic networks. In this paper, we study the energy efficient MAC protocols including EE-MACU, R-MAC and T-Lohi. We classify UWSN MAC protocols into two broad categories contention free and contention based and we further categorize contention based protocol. We analyze and compare key UWSN MAC protocols based on certain parameters and suggest their suitability in various scenarios.
The relationship between Gratitude and Life satisfaction in a sample of Spanish university students
Authors: Salvador-Ferrer Carmen
Published: April 2017

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between gratitude and life satisfaction among university students in Spain. The present study seeks to assess gratitude by means of a self-report Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6; McCullough et al., 2002) and Life satisfaction scale (SWLS; Diener et al., 1985). Using a multiple linear regression analysis, the relationship between life satisfaction and gratitude is analyzed. The results suggest that gratitude significantly predicts life satisfaction, while on the other hand, differences exist with regard to gender in the relationship between gratitude and life satisfaction. The significance and limitations of the present findings are discussed.

Authors: Calvo-Francés Fernando , Alemán-Ruiz Iván
Published: April 2017

Social Support is one of the most well documented factors influencing health outcomes. Cultural differences and language use between Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries advise caution in the use of the same measurement instruments. Furthermore the instruments validated in Spain have been developed with very specific or small samples. The aim of this instrumental study was to develop a new general purpose Social Support Questionnaire that overcomes these limitations. Method: With a sample of 1080 participants (48.2% women, mean age 33.51), an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, examining its internal consistency, reliability, convergent validity, content validity and readability. Results: A three-factor structure (Friends, Family and Significant Others Support) was replicated and confirmed (with a very good fit), explaining nearly 73% of the variance with an excellent internal consistency (.94 or more) with significant evidence of convergent validity with other related measurements of Social Support and Health. Conclusions: The parameters of structural validity, internal consistency, reliability and convergent validity, taken together, present an optimized profile when compared to the rest of the reviewed surveys.

Two guides with instructions and commentaries that the teacher should give to students before, during and after learning tasks were developed. The learning tasks were also of two kinds, academic –writing composition- and non- academic –learning to solve problems of the Tangram, a Chinese puzzle-. A total of 178 High School students, 16 to 19 years old (Mean: 16.7) participated in the study. Results of ANOVAs showed that the efficacy of each kind of training varies depending on the dependent variable, though –in general- emotional self-regulation training was superior. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are commented.
Spanish adaptation of the Allophilia Scale
Authors: Magallares Alejandro , Morales Jose Francisco
Published: April 2017

The aim of this study is to adapt and to obtain evidences of validity of the Allophilia Scale to Spanish population. Participants were 960 individuals from all over Spain. Questionnaires to measure prejudice toward North African people, stress and empathy were used to analyze the criterion validity of the Allophilia scale.  Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the items of the questionnaire fit a model with five factors, corresponding to the dimensions proposed by the original authors (affection, comfort, kinship, engagement, enthusiasm). Additionally, it has been found that the Allophilia scale is related with other variables such as prejudice toward North African people (cognitive, emotions and behaviors), stress (interaction, resources, identity) and empathy. In light of these results, we conclude that the questionnaire is methodologically valid and can be used by the scientific community to measure cooperative and participatory intergroup behavior and as a complement to traditional measures of prejudice and negative intergroup behaviors.

Authors: Merino-Tejedor Enrique , Hontangas Pedro M. , Boada-Grau Joan
Published: April 2017

The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Recovery Experience Questionnaire for use in an educational context. So far, this measure of detachment has mainly been used with workers. The study aimed to verify the factor validity and the criterion-related validity through correlation with self-regulation, engagement, coping strategies, and big-five personality dimensions in a sample of 468 Spanish university students. Several models proposed in the literature have been tested through confirmatory factor analysis. The results obtained confirmed the presence of four factors: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery and control, as observed in previous studies within a workplace setting. Correlations obtained between these factors and the variables considered verified that detachment is significantly and positively associated with self-regulation, engagement, coping strategies, and certain types of personality; on the other side, detachment is significantly and negatively associated with irritation.

Une enquête en ligne a été réalisée entre le 15 mai 2014 et le 15 août 2014. Mille trente-quatre (1034) membres ont accepté de répondre au questionnaire dont 174 (16,8 %) membres récemment diplômés. Les résultats montrent qu’il existe des besoins en formation continue, et ce, principalement pour les compétences liées à la démarche d’évaluation, à l’exercice du rôle-conseil et au soutien aux personnes ou aux groupes. Les diplômés récents se distinguent des autres membres : 1) en se montrant généralement plus intéressés à suivre une formation pour un bon nombre de compétences; et 2) concernant le niveau de formation souhaité où ils sont proportionnellement plus intéressés à suivre une formation de niveau intermédiaire et moins intéressés à suivre une formation de base ou avancé.
Les stratégies d’intervention offertes aux jeunes mères sont-elles efficaces pour prévenir la maltraitance envers leurs enfants?
Authors: St-Germain Amélie , Baudry Claire , Bussières Eve-Line

Les écrits scientifiques documentent largement le fait que les jeunes mères sont à risque d’inadaptation psychosociale. Par ricochet, cette vulnérabilité affecte également leurs enfants, comme l’indique entre autres aspects un taux de maltraitance plus élevé au sein de ces familles comparativement à celui des populations de mères adultes à faible risque. Afin de contrer ce phénomène de maltraitance, diverses interventions ont été développées au cours des cinq dernières décennies, certaines privilégiant le soutien direct apporté aux jeunes mères et d’autres ciblant à la fois le soutien maternel et les interactions entre la mère et son enfant. Les résultats de ces interventions pour prévenir l’apparition de maltraitance sont variables, certaines études rapportant une grande efficacité alors que d’autres concluent à des résultats faibles, voire nuls. Considérant cette variation, le premier objectif de cette méta-analyse est de vérifier l’efficacité générale des interventions offertes aux jeunes mères pour prévenir la maltraitance envers leurs enfants. L’objectif secondaire est de distinguer si une cible d’intervention engendre un meilleur résultat que l’autre. Une recension systématique a permis d’identifier six études évaluant huit programmes distincts. Les calculs méta-analytiques indiquent une taille d’effet globale (d = -0,29, p = 0,01) démontrant l’efficacité générale des interventions préventives. Plus précisément, les interventions qui ciblent à la fois le soutien maternel et les interactions mère-enfant sont efficaces pour diminuer le taux de maltraitance. Les résultats de cette étude permettront d’orienter les services offerts actuellement en matière de prévention de la maltraitance auprès d’une population de jeunes mères.
Facteurs contribuant à l’aliénation parentale1
Authors: Van Gijseghem Hubert
Published: April 2017

L’aliénation parentale est aujourd’hui définie comme le trouble de l’enfant qui s’allie fortement avec un parent et, de façon injustifiée, rejette l’autre parent. Trop longtemps on a maintenu l’idée que la seule source du trouble réside dans la malveillance du parent allié qui « instrumentalise » l’enfant pour atteindre l’autre parent. Bien que dans certains cas ceci puisse être un facteur contribuant, un parent qui exerce des influences aliénantes, n’est que rarement de mauvaise foi. En plus, dans nombre de cas on peut identifier d’autres sources encore plus importantes, par exemple, des caractéristiques psychologiques et même tempéramentales de l’enfant lui-même. D’autres facteurs sont également discutés dans cet article, tels que certaines particularités des interventions judiciaire et clinique qui, plutôt que de résoudre le trouble, risquent de l’intensifier.
Étude qualitative sur l’intégration en milieu de garde d’enfants adoptés de l’international : points de vue des parents et des éducatrices
Authors: Dézainde Chantal , Turgeon Lyse
Published: April 2017

La recherche sur les enfants de l’adoption internationale porte souvent sur l’état nutritionnel, les difficultés d’adaptation, le rattrapage développemental, les troubles neurocognitifs et les troubles de l’attachement. Aucune étude n’a examiné leur intégration en milieu de garde. S’inscrivant dans une logique exploratoire descriptive, à l’aide d’un devis de recherche qualitatif, la présente étude vise à donner la parole aux parents adoptifs et aux éducatrices au sujet de cette transition. Des entrevues individuelles semi-structurées sont réalisées avec 12 familles adoptives et les 12 éducatrices de leurs enfants. Les résultats montrent que les parents et les éducatrices partagent certaines perceptions, par exemple quant à l’importance d’une intégration progressive. Toutefois, certaines différences émergent. Par exemple, une forte proportion d’éducatrices considère que l’enfant adopté de l’international ne présente aucun besoin particulier et que son intégration se vit de la même façon que pour les autres enfants. Les parents adoptifs souhaitent plutôt que l’on tienne compte des besoins spécifiques de leur enfant, opinion partagée par les trois éducatrices qui ont une expérience personnelle de l’adoption. L’article se termine par une discussion sur les façons de contribuer à des meilleures pratiques en milieu de garde afin de favoriser l’intégration des enfants de l’adoption internationale. Des pistes de recherche sont également proposées.
Comportements sexuels problématiques chez les enfants : une recension systématique des facteurs associés

La majorité des enfants franchissent les différentes étapes du développement psychosexuel de façon saine. Toutefois, certains enfants dévient de cette trajectoire et manifestent des comportements sexuels problématiques (CSP). Cette recension systématique a pour objectif de déterminer quels sont les facteurs individuels, familiaux et sociaux qui distinguent les enfants de 12 ans et moins qui présentent des CSP de ceux qui n’en présentent pas. La méthode utilisée s’appuie sur celle proposée par le Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD, 2008), reconnue comme étant une pratique exemplaire pour mener une recension systématique (Tacconelli, 2010). Une recherche d’identification des études primaires a permis de repérer 2585 références, dont 18 études portant sur les facteurs associés aux CSP qui ont été sélectionnées en fonction de critères préalablement définis. Malgré les nombreuses limites méthodologiques des études, les résultats indiquent que les enfants manifestant des CSP présentent systématiquement davantage de difficultés ou d’éléments d’adversité comparativement aux enfants ne manifestant pas ce type de comportement, et ce, dans plusieurs domaines de risque du modèle théorique proposé dans le cadre de cet article (caractéristiques individuelles prédisposant aux problèmes de comportement, stresseurs affectant les parents à fournir des soins optimaux, pratiques parentales coercitives, perturbation du développement psychosexuel et qualité de l’attachement). La prise en compte de ces domaines est primordiale pour éclairer l’évaluation et l’intervention auprès des enfants manifestant des CSP.
Traité de pensée magique pour jeunes adolescents1
Authors: Larrivée Serge
Published: April 2017

Au cours de ce texte, je présente d’abord le contenu du livre de Pierre Morency et de Valérie Fontaine, Demande et reçois, chapitre par chapitre. À l’aide d’une série d’affirmations fallacieuses, l’auteur tente de convaincre les jeunes adolescents qu’ils peuvent obtenir tout ce qu’ils désirent. Comment? Il suffit de le demander en évitant de douter, et surtout de laisser de côté tout esprit critique. La deuxième partie comporte six réflexions supplémentaires sur le contenu de ce livre, dont certaines à connotation éthique.
The Reception of Ernest Hemingway in Iran after the Islamic Revolution: A study of The Old Man and the Sea and To Have and Have Not
Authors: Anushiravani Alireza , Ghasemnejad Atefeh
Published: April 2017

This article investigates how the literary reception of Ernest Hemingway in Iran in the first two decades after the Islamic Revolution is formed by cultural and ideological implications. The theoretical framework of this study is based on S.S. Prawer and Roger Asselineau’s notion of reception theory as a branch of study in comparative literature. The methodology entails a chronological study of translations, and cinematic adaptations of the author’s oeuvres. This study devotes itself to the study of the two most reprinted and translated works which depict a huge difference in the number of translations and reprints compared to Hemingway’s other works. As Such, the following outcomes are deliberated: besides the international fame of Hemingway, his continuing success in Iran can be related to the ideology of the translator, and the director, who deploy Hemingway’s novels as a prism to reflect Iranians’ stoic perseverance and mythical desire for freedom and fight against despotism as manifested in the legend of Jamshid. Hemingway’s code hero, undergoing stoic perseverance in hardship and war embody Iranians’ passage through a turbulent historical event after Revolution. Struggling with unemployment, war, and frustrated hopes, Iranians find Hemingway’s novels as a way to cope with arising problems during and after war. This article also explicates why reception of this particular work in Iran differs from its universal trend.
A Study of the Effects of Time Pressure on Translation Quantity and Quality

The condition under which translation is undertaken has been the subject of little empirical research. The present study aimed to determine whether time pressure would have influential effects on the quality and quantity of a translation task performed by Iranian students of Translation Studies. For this purpose, the students in two intact MA translation classrooms were selected as the participants of the study; i.e., one control group and one experimental group. The participants in the control group were allowed as much as time they needed to perform the translation task whereas the participants in the experimental group were allowed only 30 minutes to perform the task. The results of the study indicated that time pressure had significant influences on both the quality and quantity of the translation task performed by the participants. A trade-off was observed as the participants in the experimental group produced more translated materials than the participants in the control group when compared on a time-constant scale. The quality of their performance, however, lagged behind the quality of performance by the participants in the control group. These results can be explained by the competition model of cognition which hypothesizes that different dimensions of a cognitive task are in constant competition to win over attentional resources and that the competition is highly influenced by the condition in which the task is performed. The implications of the study for both translation theory and practice are also discussed.
