Authors: Wongsari Nadia S. , Rovani Christine Anastasia , Trilaksana Aries Chandra
Published: August 2016

This study aimed to compare apical microleakage using tooth clearing method between two softened core obturation techniques which are carrier based gutta percha and continuous wave. Samples are maxillary first incisors, with a single root canal. They are devided into three groups of 9 each randomly. The first group is carrier based gutta percha, the second is continuous wave, and the third is lateral condensation as positive control. The teeth were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction, prepared with crown down pressureless technique, and obturated according their group.  All the samples were coated with nail polish except for 2 mm from the apical, and then placed in China Ink for 7 days. After that, the polish were removed and the samples undergone tooth clearing procedure. When the samples had been transparant, they were observed using microscop. Data were collected and analyzed using Anova and Tukey’s post hoc test. The study showed that mean of apical microleakage from continuous wave technique (0.256+0.133) is less than from carrier based gutta percha (0.433+0.173). As the conclusion, there is a significant diffrence (p:0.034) of apical microleakage between continuous wave and carrier based gutta percha (p<0.05).

Authors: Mardhiana Anna , Harlina Harlina
Published: August 2016

Oral cancer is a malignancy  which came from oral mucosal epithelial and other oral’s part including from saliva glands (majority the minor one) inside the mouth. Oral cancer has a quick spread. A half of oral cancer diagnosed at a late stage with a high level of death. Only half of this malignancy sufferer survive more than five years. However, the survival prognosis will increase 80-90% if the cancer could diagnose in early stage. The objective of this study is to measure qualitatively oral cancer knowledge and awareness among the students at SMAN 2 Baubau. This study is descriptive study by cross-section approach. Oral cancer knowledge and awareness among the students in SMAN 2 Baubau is in a low stage.  Students hardly hear the information about the signs of oral cancer and have no idea what must they do if they find someone presented with one of the oral cancer signs. The reason behind unknown action lack of information and socialization about oral cancer.

This study aims to determine the characteristics of the microhardness impairment root canal dentin after application with different types of EDTA. Samples mandibular premolar teeth with one root canal, each divided into 4 groups: EDTA solution, EDTA gel, EDTA cream and negative control; and each group consisted of 6 samples. The teeth were decoronated  at cementoenamel junction (CEJ),  prepared by the crown down pressureless technique, cut along  longitudinal direction, and  each sample was attached  to selfcured acrylic and then soaked in distilled water. Samples were taken early microhardness measurement by means of Digital Vickers Microhardness Tester. The sample is then applied to the appropriate group of materials EDTA for 5 minutes, except for the negative control group, soaked in saline solution for 5 menit, then performed the final measurement of microhardness of dentin. The results of measurements taken from  the average value of measurements made at 3 points, coronal, middle and apical. Data were collected and analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s Post Hoc test.

The results showed there are differences in dentin microhardness decrease significantly in all treatment groups compared to the negative control group (p <0.05) with the largest drop in the group EDTA solution, amounting to 13 667 kg / mm2. Nevertheless, based on the results of different statistical test further, discovered the value of p> 0.05 which means there is no difference in microhardness reduction in dentin significantly among the test group.

Published: August 2016

Various types of facial anatomy landmarks which must have an appropriate proportion to the size of the tooth is interalar width, intercommisural width, interpupillary width, intercanthal width, and byzigomatic width. Different facial anatomy landmark is influenced by age, gender, region of residence and origin of his tribe. Tribe or race is a race classification based on physical characteristics, such as face shape, hair, and skin color. The tribes who originally inhabited the Southeast Sulawesi namely Tolaki tribe, Muna tribe and Buton tribe. All three of these tribes have typical anatomical landmarks.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between interalar width and intercommisural width against mesiodistal incisivus centralis width in a group of Buton tribe. Ninety five Buton tribe subjects aged 17-25 were selected. The interalar width, intercommisural width, and mesiodistal incisor centralis teeth were measured using caliper about three times for accuracy and precision. The degree of correlation between interalar width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width was 0.278 and 0.325 in Buton tribe and females (p<0.05) and 0.168 in males (p>0.05). the degree of correlation etweenintercommisural width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width was 0.310 and 0.420 in Buton tribe and females (p<0.05) and 0.125 in males (p>0.05). The degree of correlation between interalar width against intercommisural width was 0.565,0.585, and 0.455 in Buton tribe , males and females (p<0.05). In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between interalar width and incommisural width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width in a group of Buton tribe. Interalar width and intercommisural width directly proportional to mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width in both of gender of Buton tribe.

Authors: Adhikari Chandra Mani
Published: August 2016

Mitral stenosis (MS) is almost invariably the result of long term complication of rheumatic fever. Based upon the nature and severity of MS, patients can be managed with medical treatment, percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) or surgery. PTMC is proven to be simple, effective and safe; it is considered as treatment of choice in the management of MS. In Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre, PTMC service started in 2001. First PTMC in the centre was done on 14th April 2001. Till June2016, 6023 PTMCs were done in the centre. Multiple studies evaluated the safety and efficacy of PTMC in different groups of patients. These studies clearly demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of PTMC in our centre. This article summarizes the historical development, current status and future perspectives of PTMC procedure at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre, a teritary care cardiac centre in Nepal.Nepalese Heart Journal 2016; 13(2): 15-17

Published: August 2016

Backgrounds and Aims: Factors affecting outcome of mitral valve replacement in rheumatic population of Nepal is unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing mitral or double valve replacement in Nepal.Methods: A retrospective observational study was designed to evaluate the outcome of patients who underwent mitral valve replacement with or without concomitant other valvular surgery during a period of one year in a tertiary care cardiac centre in Nepal. Data were analysed to find the significant predictors of in-hospital mortality.Results: A total of 411 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The overall in-hospital mortality was 4.1% (95% CI 2.18-6.02). A cutoff value for higher mortality obtained using ROC curve for age was 37.5 years; and for duration of mechanical ventilation was 8.5 hours. Multivariate logistic regression model identified increasing age (>37.5 years), OR 2.05 (95% CI 0.77-5.45), p=0.001; NYHA Class III and IV, OR 15.18 (95%CI 0.9-54.53), p<0.001; presence of left atrial thrombus, OR 4.96 (95% CI 1.49-16.43), p=0.003; tricuspid regurgitation grade III and IV, OR 2.62 (95% CI 0.95-7.24), p=0.004; re-exploration for bleeding, OR 8.62 (95% CI 1.60-46.32), p=0.03; left ventricular ejection fraction (≤40%), OR 8.22 (95% CI 2.62-25.72), p=0.001; inotrope score >20, OR 9.90 (95% CI 3.48-28.15), p<0.001; duration of mechanical ventilation >8.5 hours, OR 22.96 (95% CI 5.15-52.10), p<0.001; and stay in the intensive care unit > 2 days, OR 1.31 (95% CI 0.49-3.46), p<0.001 as predictors of mortality.Conclusion: Age, NYHA Class, severe tricuspid regurgitation, presence of left atrial clot, re-exploration for bleeding, decreasing left ventricular ejection fraction, high inotrope score, longer duration of mechanical ventilation, and longer stay in the intensive care unit were identified as the independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.  Nepalese Heart Journal 2016; 13(2): 19-24

Published: August 2016

Background and Aims: Acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease constitute an important public health problem in the developing countries. The disease results from an abnormal autoimmune response to a group A streptococcal infection in a susceptible host. We aim to describe the pattern of valvular involvement in patients taking Injection Benzathine Penicillin.Methods: All the patients, who were taking injection Benzathine penicillin during 15th April to 14th July, 2013 at our Centre, were included in this study. Demographic features like age, sex, echocardiographic diagnosis along with any adverse effects of Benzathine penicillin were collected.Results: A total of 661 patients were included in our study, out of which female predominated in numbers. Rheumatic heart disease rather than rheumatic fever was the cause for Penicillin injection. Mitral valve was the most common valve involved and it was more common in female.Pure mitral stenosis was the most common valvular involvement. Forty two percent patients underwent intervention; among them Percutaneous transluminal mitral commisuorotomy was the most common. There was no adverse event during the study time following penicillin injection.Conclusions: Women are more commonly affected than male. Mitral valve is the most common valve involved.

Published: August 2016

Backgrounds and Aims: Rheumatic heart disease is the commonest acquired heart disease in children of developing world presenting earlier and with a more severe valvular lesion. This study was conducted to assess the clinical and demographic profile, pattern of valvular involvement and management modalities among children with rheumatic heart disease.Methods: This was a hospital-based observational study, performed at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center where all children less than 15 years of age with confirmed echocardiographic diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease from June 2015 to May 2016 were evaluated and relevant data were recorded.Results: Two hundred and eleven children were diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease. The mean age was 11.9 ± 2.2 years with (100) 47.4% male and (111) 52.6% female. The median duration of symptoms among new cases was 1 year (interquartile range of 0.5 to 2 years). The most common symptom was dyspnea present in (187) 88.6% children followed by palpitation (34.5%). Mitral valve was most commonly affected in (141) 96.5% while isolated aortic valve involvement was seen in (8) 3.5%. Isolated mitral regurgitation was the most common lesion present in 118 (55.9%) children, while 50 (23.7%) children had combination of mitral and aortic regurgitation. Mitral valve was significantly more commonly affected in females and aortic valve commonly affected in males (p= 0.003).Conclusions: Rheumatic heart disease although declining in developed countries, remains to be the commonest acquired heart disease in developing and underdeveloped countries. Efforts are needed to improve primary and secondary preventive measures.Nepalese Heart Journal 2016; 13(2): 33-36

18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid inhibits the viability of HR5-CL11 cervical carcinoma cells through induction of apoptosis and DNA damage
Authors: Zhuang Hong-Mei , Hu Xiao , Hong Shu-Rong , Zhou Ping-Ping , Zhang Yu , Li Ling
Published: August 2016

The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid on induction of apoptosis and DNA-damage in HR5-CL11 cervical carcinoma cells. The results revealed 73.6% reduction in HR5-CL11 cell viability on treatment with 5 µM concentration of 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid for 48 hours. The DNA of 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid-treated cells showed a ladder-like pattern. Fragmentation of DNA in the 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid-treated cells was markedly higher compared to the control cells. Examination of the DNA damage in HR5-CL11 cells after treatment with 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid showed breakage in DNA strands and formation of comet-like structures. The frequency of comet formation in 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid treated cells was found to be 7.8 after 48 hours. The population of cells with more than four γH2AX foci was increased to 38.6% on treatment with 5 µM concentration of 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid. Thus, 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid inhibits the viability of HR5-CL11 cervical cancer cells through induction of apoptosis by DNA damage and can be used for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Published: August 2016

It seems to me that the study of writing is about where the study of language was before the development of linguistics over the past century-and-a-bit. Everyone we know knows how to write, and therefore everyone we know thinks they know about writing. This paper looks at how writing has been presented to the general public, and how it has been treated in linguistics since the first real textbook of 1933.

Equative and Predicational Copulas in Thai
Authors: Hedberg Nancy , Potter David
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:In this paper we report on an experimental study of the copula system in Thai. We argue that the Thai copula system is crucial to the debate over whether specifica-tional sentences should be given an inverse predicational analysis or an equative analysis. We conclude that Thai data supports the equative approach. The paper is organized as follows. We first introduce the inverse and equative analyses, and provide a little background on Thai. We then discuss our sentence acceptability task survey, and introduce the idea that the test items in the survey may have been subject to type-shifting. After that, we describe some interviews we did with Thai speakers aimed at fixing the semantic types of the test items. Finally, we discuss the results of the interviews and conclude.
Negative Concord in Western Armenian
Authors: Khanjian Hrayr
Published: August 2016

This paper examines a unique phenomena of negative concord found in Western Ar-menian (WA). When two negative morphemes appear together in the same clause, there are two possible interpretations that result cross-linguistically. Either each negative morpheme contributes a negation to the semantics, known as double nega-tion (DN) or the two morphemes surface as one instance of negation, know as neg-ative concord (NC).
Emergent Hidden Grammar: Stochastic Patterning in Korean Accentuation of Novel Words
Authors: Kim Hyun-ju
Published: August 2016

This study presents empirical evidence that the accent patterns in novel words do not originate from analogy to phonetically similar familiar words. Rather, the accent pattern of novel words reflects statistical patterning in the lexicon. A corpus study showed that lexical distribution of North Kyungsang Korean (NKK) accent patterns is phonologically patterned: penultimate accent is common where all the syllables are light; final accent is more frequent where the final syllable is heavy. Lexical statistics revealed probabilistic structure-sensitive patterning in the lexicon even if exceptions obscure the patterning. This study will show that the accent patterns in novel words actually match this statistical patterning in the lexicon. This indicates that NKK speakers have implicit knowledge of the statistical patterning and apply it to novel words which lack lexical specification.
Evidentiality in Korean Conditional Constructions
Authors: Kwon Iksoo
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper explores a seemingly non-canonical phenomenon where Korean firsthand evidential marker –te is employed in counterfactual conditionals (CC, henceforth). The phenomenon is of special interest, since it has been claimed that evidentials are not used in irrealis clauses (Anderson 1986: 274-275). Nevertheless, this paper shows that the firsthand evidential marker does appear in Korean CCs and further, argues that to employ the firsthand envidential marker is a conceptually optimal tactic for the speaker to have cognitive distance towards the focal event in CCs. The main claim is as follows: The marker’s extended function - its function of di stancing and of accommodating presupposed information, not its firsthand evidential marking function, licenses the marker to be utilized in such a way.
The Source-Goal Asymmetry in SLA
Authors: Lewandowski Wojciech
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:It has been shown in the literature on motion events that there is a strong tendency for speakers of different languages to express goals in preference to sources (e.g. Regier 1997, Ihara & Fujita 2000) and that this linguistic asymmetry could have its origins in non-linguistic event representations (cf. Lakusta & Landau 2005, Lakusta et al. 2007). In this paper, it will be shown that the goal bias in language and cognition has important implications for SLA. In particular, the acquisition of the verbs come and go by Polish speakers of Spanish L2 will be addressed.
Subject Relatives and Expletives in Early New High German
Authors: Light Caitlin
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:The status of the subject position in German has been the source of some debate.1 For example, some studies (Biberauer 2004; Richards and Biberauer 2005) have argued that German does not have an EPP requirement in the traditional sense. The absence of an expletive that occurs speciﬁcally in the subject position (as opposed to the topic position in Spec,CP) seems to support the argument that Spec,TP has no special status in German. This paper will argue against such analyses, and show that in historical stages of German, we see evidence of a subject expletive licensed speciﬁcally to ﬁll Spec,TP. This expletive, da in Early New High German (ENHG), is merged speciﬁcally when the logical subject does not move to Spec,TP, leaving the position empty. This supports a traditional analysis of the EPP in German. Furthermore, I will show that the existence of expletive da lends support to the argument that two (non-topic) subject positions are available in the German clause structure (cf. Haeberli 1999, 2000, 2005), which I take to be Spec,TP and Spec,vP (the base position of the subject).
An Embodied Account of Argument Structure Development
Authors: Maouene Josita , Sethuraman Nitya , Maoene Mounir , Smith Linda B.
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:All information enters the cognitive system through the body. Thus, it is possible that the body—and its morphology—may play a role in structurng knowledge and acquisition. This idea is particularly cogent in the case of verbs, since early learned verbs are about bodily actions and since recent advanc-es in cognitive neuroscience (Pulvermueller, 2005; James and Maouene, 2009) indicate that the neural processing of common verbs activates the brain regions responsible for the specific body parts that perform those actions. Here we provide initial evidence these body-part verb relations may also be related to the argument structures associated with specific verbs. We will conclude that in the same way that verb meaning and argument structure develop out of correlations in linguistic experiences, they may also develop out of correlations in body experiences.
A Gujarati Origin for Scripts of Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Philippines
Authors: Miller Christopher
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper presents evidence for a new theory that indigenous scripts of Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Philippines are descendants of an early variety of Gujarati script introduced into the archipelago, thus placing them in the Nagari group. This at first seems implausible, but the historical record attests to the major role of Gujaratis in the archipelago. Tomé Pires (Cortesão 1944) reports a thousand Gujaratis in Malacca prior to 1512, Barnes (2004) shows that Gujaratis sold printed cloths manufactured to the tastes of customers in Sulawesi and the Moluccas around this time, and Gujaratis are known to have played a major role in introducing Islam to the archipelago.

A Sibling Precedence Approach to the Linearization of Multiple Dominance Structures
Authors: Potter David
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:A current trend in syntactic theory explores of the use of multiple dominance struc-tures in the analysis of right-node raising and across-the-board movement, as well as in the formal description of movement. One effect of the introduction of multiple dominance structures is the complication of the mapping of syntactic structure to strings of terminals, as the multiply dominated element has syntactic dependencies in more than one location. In this paper, I propose that the nontangling condition of Partee et al. (1990) can be revised to permit the linearization of a range of mul-tiple dominance structures. In addition, this revised nontangling condition restricts the possible conﬁgurations of multiple dominance structures and predicts a periph-erality condition in sharing coordination constructions: elements shared between conjuncts must appear at the periphery of those conjuncts.
Surface Faithfulness Phenomena and the Consonantal Root in the Modern Hebrew Verb System

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper argues that from the point of view of speakers Modern Hebrew must be described as a hybrid system, possessing elements of both templatic and concatenative morphology, and that more generally, templaticity and concatenativity are not absolute, binarily opposed categories, but stand for bundles of morphological characteristics, of which a given language may possess a combination and which are subject to piecemeal diachronic change.
Partial Wh-Movement and Wh-Copying in Dutch: Evidence for an Indirect Dependency Approach
Authors: Schippers Ankelien
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This article reports on a magnitude estimation experiment investigating the grammatical status of partial wh-movement and wh-copying versus standard long-distance movement in Dutch. The results show that long-distance wh-movement is rated most acceptable, followed by wh-copying and finally partial wh-movement. Of interest is the significant difference in acceptability in partial wh-movement and wh-copying. It is argued that these results speak in favor of a so-called Indirect Dependency Approach to partial wh-movement in which partial wh-movement is analyzed as a structurally altogether different construction from long-distance wh-movement. Wh-copying, on the other hand, is argued to be a surface alternative to long-distance movement, where an intermediate movement copy has been spelled out.
Computational Cognitive Morphosemantics: Modeling Morphological Compositionality in Hebrew Verbs with Embodied Construction Grammar
Authors: Schneider Nathan
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper brings together the theoretical framework of construction grammar and studies of verbs in Modern Hebrew to furnish an analysis integrating the form and meaning components of morphological structure. In doing so, this work employs and extends Embodied Construction Grammar (ECG; Bergen and Chang 2005), a computational formalism developed to study grammar from a cognitive linguistic perspective. In developing a formal analysis of Hebrew verbs (section 3), I adapt ECG—until now a lexical/syntactic/semantic formalism—to account for the compositionality of morphological constructions, accommodating idiosyncrasy while encoding generalizations at multiple levels. Similar to syntactic constructions, morpheme constructions are related in an inheritance network, and can be productively composed to form words. With the expanded version of ECG, constructions can readily encode nonconcatenative root-and-pattern morphology and associated (compositional or noncompositional) semantics, cleanly integrated with syntactic constructions. This formal, cognitive study should pave the way for computational models of morphological learning and processing in Hebrew and other languages.
Some Hypotheses About Possible Isolates within the Atlantic Branch of the Niger-Congo Phylum
Authors: Segerer Guillaume
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper deals with the status of some potential isolates, i.e. languages that have no more than 20% of common basic vocabulary with any other so-called Atlantic language (from the figures in Sapir 1971). Four candidates may be proposed: Bijogo, Nalu, Sua and Limba. To these we may Bayot, which we will examine in more detail (data from Diagne 2009).
From Relativization to Nominalization and More: Evidence from the History of Okinawan
Authors: Shibasaki Reijirou
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:The nominalization-relativization syncretism is characteristic of languages in Tibeto-Burman areas (e.g. Noonan 1997; DeLancey 1999), whilst the diachronic process of the phenomenon is now pursued in East and Southeast Asian languages as well (e.g. Yap and Wrona forthcoming). These preceding works propose two different directions of change. One is that nominalization has developed into relativization (e.g. Yap and Matthews 2008) albeit with a lack of syntactic explicitness in some cases by the want of historical documents. The other concerns the inverse direction from relativization to nominalization, which is proposed by researchers such as LaPolla (2003 with Huang). Although they are opposing against each other, each survey result remains and raises an intriguing possibility, which is worth reconsideration through the analysis of other languages. However, it should be pointed out that preceding research cannot give a full account of the directions with a paucity of crucial historical evidence. Genetti (2008) embarks on a reconstructing research into the diachronic process in which relativization and nominalization each give rise to the other based on five Tibeto-Burman languages; she provides a good syntactic analysis, but any synchronic study seems to have its own limits. Building on these preceding works, this study addresses the historical development of the Okinawan nominalizer si, which used to be sï (see the next section), out of its earlier usage as the head of relative clause i.e. from relativization to nominalization.
Testing for Frequency and Structural Effects in an English Stress Shift
Authors: Sonderegger Morgan
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper considers the English diatonic stress shift (DSS). We examine the role of frequency and phonological structure as conditioning factors for which of a set of noun/verb pairs have undergone the DSS between 1700 and the present. Previous work by Phillips (1984) has shown a role of frequency: on average, words which have undergone the DSS have lower frequency than those which have not. Using a new dataset, we show via multiple logistic regression that there is a signiﬁcant effect of frequency in the direction shown by Phillips, as well as effects of phonological structure; for example, a closed initial syllable makes change more likely. There is also a strong interaction between the effects of frequency and structure; in particular, structure modulates the strength and direction of the frequency effect. Our use of multiple regression follows its widespread use in sociolinguistics (e.g., Labov 1994) for quantifying the relative effects of different conditioning factors in cases of language change.
Neighborhood Density in Phonological Alternations
Authors: Stausland Johnsen Sverre
Published: August 2016

in lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:Neighborhood density (ND) is a measure of how similar a word is to other words in the lexicon. In response to the growing evidence of the significance of ND for word identification and word production, linguists have started asking what role ND could play in phonological alternations, without reaching a consensus. This paper assesses the role of ND in a phonological alternation in Norwegian, by asking whether the alternation is best predicted by ND or by the phonological structure of the alternators. The results reveal how these factors are strongly correlated and equally good predictors of alternations.
Metathesis and Reanalysis in Ket
Authors: Vajda Edward
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This article identifies cases where metathesis and reanalysis have left idiosyncratic changes in the morphology of Ket, a critically endangered language of Central Siberia. The analysis reflects ongoing work compiling The Etymological Dictionary of the Yeniseian Languages (Vajda and Werner, in preparation). With fewer than 100 speakers, Ket is the last surviving member of the Yeniseian family and genetically isolated in North Asia. Internal comparative data from three of Ket’s vanished southern relatives, Yugh, Kott, and Assan, along with external comparison with the distantly related Na-Dene family of North America (Vajda 2010), also appear in the article.
Perception of Illegal Contrasts: Japanese Adaptations of Korean Coda Obstruents
Authors: Whang James
Published: August 2016

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:A series of studies by Dupoux and colleagues (Dupoux et al. (1999), Peperkamp & Dupoux (2003), Vendelin & Peperkamp (2004), Peperkamp (2005)) have proposed that loanword adaptation, which refers to the transformation words go through when they are borrowed from a source language (L2) to a borrowing language (L1), happens entirely during perception. They claim that when an L1 speaker is given an acoustic signal that contains segments that are illegal in his native language, his native phonotactics distort how this signal is perceived, automatically mapping it to the closest well-formed sound, and that this process, called perceptual assimilation, often makes it extremely difficult to perceive nonnative sounds accurately. This paper provides evidence partially contrary to their claims, from adaptations of Korean final coda obstruents into Japanese, showing that Japanese speakers are able to perceive some phonotactically illegal contrasts.
L’histoire relationnelle et le cycle de vie : temps, personnalité et psychopathologie
Authors: Linares Juan Luis
Published: August 2016

Nous définissons la personnalité individuelle à partir d’une perspective relationnelle, en insistant sur l’importance du temps à trois niveaux : l’expérience relationnelle accumulée, l’intersection entre l’individu et ses systèmes d’appartenance, la famille d’origine. Nous appliquons le même critère à une réflexion sur la psychopathologie, que nous illustrons avec un exemple de dépression majeure présentée par une personne âgée, mettant tout particulièrement en évidence son lien manifeste avec le cycle de vie.
De temps en temps : de l’individu à la famille

Published: August 2016

Nous abordons ici une réflexion sur la manière dont interagissent les temps individuels et les temps familiaux. Quelques vignettes cliniques illustreront le propos.
Le temps et les liens familiaux. Qu’en fait le thérapeute ?
Authors: Delage Michel
Published: August 2016

Tout système connaît une dynamique orientée par la circularité et la linéarité. La circularité permet de maintenir un équilibre dans le système tandis que la linéarité inscrit le sytème dans une certaine durée au cours de laquelle s’opèrent des changements. L’expérience subjective du temps nous permet d’examiner le rythme, le déploiement du temps entre passé, présent et avenir ainsi que la durée et le sens du temps, dès lors que nous portons attention à l’histoire des événements vécus. Dans cet article, chaque dimension est examinée, ainsi que la spécificité des interventions thérapeutiques qui peuvent en résulter. Elles-mêmes s’inscrivent dans une temporalité qui leur est spécifique.
Quand vient l’heure de la reconnaissance en psychothérapie systémique
Authors: Auberjonois Katharina , Salem Gérard
Published: August 2016

Cet article tente d’éclaircir les processus liés à la reconnaissance en psychothérapie, en particulier la manière dont ces processus constituent une expérience correctrice en psychothérapie systémique. Sont abordés les aspects théoriques de l’acte de reconnaissance sur le plan philosophique et social, ainsi que dans la psychologie interpersonnelle. La deuxième partie illustre, à la faveur de plusieurs situations cliniques dont une plus exhaustive, l’application pratique en psychothérapie systémique de l’acte de reconnaissance, avec ses répercussions sur les relations familiales et la suite du processus thérapeutique.
Le cycle de vie des familles recomposées
Authors: Dupont Sébastien
Published: August 2016

L’article aborde les recompositions familiales sous l’angle des étapes du cycle de vie familiale. Cette approche permet de mettre en évidence la complexité des mécanismes d’affiliation, de désaffiliation et de deuil, qui peuvent émerger dans et entre les divers systèmes et sous-systèmes impliqués. La prise en compte de cette dimension diachronique et évolutive éclaire d’un regard nouveau la vulnérabilité qui caractérise nombre de familles recomposées (conflits de loyauté, coalitions, oppositions entre systèmes/sous-systèmes, délitement de liens, ruptures...) et ouvre à de nouvelles pistes thérapeutiques.
Contribuer à ouvrir un horizon d’avenir : un hommage à Luigi Onnis
Authors: Gennart Michèle , Vannotti Marco
Published: August 2016

Les auteurs comparent quelques courants de l’approche systémique qui leur sont familiers, sous l’angle de leur rapport au temps. Ils se réfèrent à la phénoménologie – courant philosophique et psychothérapeutique qui, de façon centrale, a soulevé la question de la temporalité – et indiquent en quel sens la pensée systémique pourrait s’en inspirer. La phénoménologie insiste prioritairement sur l’ouverture d’un horizon d’avenir. Cette direction de sens nous aide à dépasser la querelle entre les tenants de l’ici et maintenant, avec leur mise à l’écart de la dimension de l’histoire et de ses enjeux existentiels, et les historicistes acharnés qui prédisent mécaniquement la psychopathologie de leurs patients sur la base de leur histoire interpersonnelle passée. Les auteurs rendent en cela hommage à Luigi Onnis, qui a élaboré – notamment pour les troubles psychosomatiques – une nouvelle façon de travailler la temporalité en souffrance des patients et de leurs familles, réinsufflant l’espérance dans le futur de la vie là où cette dernière s’avère menacée ou bloquée. Un tel travail suppose un engagement du thérapeute qui ne vise pas à fuir la souffrance par le biais de recettes techniques, mais accueille les patients dans leur situation éprouvée et, avec eux, sur la base d’une alliance empathique, comprenne et expérimente en quoi leur avenir s’est figé et pourrait se ré-ouvrir.
« Lorsque le temps s’est arrêté » Apports de l’approche systémique et des thérapies familiales pour aider l’enfant avec autisme, sa famille et les institutions qui le prennent en charge
Authors: Dall’Asta Anne
Published: August 2016

Les familles d’enfant avec autisme se vivent souvent comme coupées du monde, repliées sur elles. Tout se passe comme si le temps s’était arrêté. La vie entière de la famille semble s’organiser en fonction et autour des troubles d’un de ses enfants, et souvent, la place des frères et sœurs s’en trouve bouleversée. L’enfant avec autisme se développe lui-même en dehors des repères fixés par le temps social, ce qui a fréquemment des répercussions sur la mise en œuvre de sa scolarité. L’auteur, au travers de vignettes cliniques, propose d’exposer les outils qu’elle utilise pour soutenir enfant, parents et fratrie, et permettre leur réinscription dans une temporalité sociale et temporelle.
Les temporalités du deuil compliqué et de la cure de désintoxication éthylique. Quelques réflexions sur la clinique du pathique du deuil compliqué chez des patients alcooliques
Authors: Valot Laurent , Wawrzyniak Michel
Published: August 2016

Cette réflexion s’inscrit entre une pratique professionnelle de psychologue clinicien et une recherche doctorale en psychopathologie sur les deuils familiaux chez des patients dépendants de l’alcool. Nous abordons ici le pathique 3 du deuil compliqué à travers le discours et l’histoire de vie d’hommes et de femmes alcooliques rencontrés en cure désintoxication alcoolique. Nos remarques portent sur certaines caractéristiques cliniques et psychopathologiques telles que la présence de l’absent, la situation traumatique de deuil, la dimension transgénérationnelle du deuil, le temps figé du deuil et la capacité d’investir l’être cher mort en nostalgie. Aborder la question du pathique du deuil constitue « un enjeu décisif » pour le patient alcoolique. Une telle rencontre se déploie dans le télescopage de deux temporalités : celle, suspendue, du deuil compliqué à l’origine de conduites d’éthylisation et celle, ramassée, d’un dispositif de soins particulier, celui de la cure de désintoxication. C’est le lien du patient à deux système, familial et soignant, qui s’y trouve engagé.

Le temps suspendu du traumatisme
Authors: Decleire Luc
Published: August 2016

À travers le vécu de patients souffrant d’un état de stress post-traumatique et en particulier de la thérapie d’un soldat de 27 ans, cet article montre combien le caractère effractant et désorganisant de l’expérience traumatique peut modifier la perception du temps, voire arrêter le temps, en un moment suspendu où la répétition et la reviviscence des événements tiennent lieu de vie. L’approche globale d’une thérapie centrée sur le patient et l’approche systémique qui renforce son entourage proche sont ici développées et illustrées.
