Published: June 2019

A short version of a questionnaire to assess body dissatisfaction is important for both clinical and research application. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the factorial structure, convergent validity and internal consistency of a 14-items short version of the Body Shape Questionnaire (Cooper, Taylor, Cooper, & Fairburn, 1987) in a sample of university women. The sample included 400 Mexican university women (M = 19.43 years, SD = 1.11), who completed the BSQ-14 and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). The confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the unidimensionality of BSQ-14 (CFI = .95; NFI = .92; GFI = .86; RMR = .07; RMSEA = .09). Also, BSQ-14 showed positive correlation with EAT-26 (r = .56; p <.001) and an excellent internal consistency (? = .96; Omega = .96). It was concluded that the evidence about the validity and reliability of the BSQ-14 scores was adequate for university Mexican women.

Published: June 2019

The present study aimed to translate and validate “The Compassion of Others’ Lives Scale (COOL; Chang, Fresco, & Green, 2014)”, evaluating its functioning in a population of Argentine adolescents and young adults. The empirical instrumental study was carried out in a non-probabilistic sample, consisting of 385 adolescents and youngadults, 210 women and 175 men from 13 to 23 years of age(M = 17.32, SD = 2.51). To study the psychometric propertiesof the proposed version, we analyzed the following: the discriminative power of the items, the internal consistencyof the instrument, adding different evidences of construct,convergent, and criterion validity. The translated and adaptedversion of COOL showed satisfactory psychometric properties, so it is feasible to be used to evaluate the compassion construct in adolescents and young adults, with an adequate degree of reliability and validity in the context inwhich it was studied.

Published: June 2019

This study analyzes the psychometric properties of an adapted version of the Rahim’s Inventory on Conflict Management Styles (ROCI-II, Form C; Rahim, 1983),which evaluates conflict-handling styles in the context of conflicts among adolescent high school classmates. The sample was composed of 663 Mexican high school students from 15 to 19 years old. Participants answered the ROCI-II as well as the Ross-DeWine Conflict Management Message Style Instrument (CMMS; Ross & DeWine, 1988). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed, finding a moderate fit for a four-factor model. Possible differences by sex, age and school grade were analyzed. All these findings are discussed within the framework of the literature on conflict management styles in adolescents.

Introduction: Bronchial asthma is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways. At present, about 235-300 million people suffer from asthma, and this number continues to grow. This pathology is also common in children. It causes significant social and economic damage worldwide. Severe forms of asthma are difficult to treat. Thus, a continuous improvement of doctors’ knowledge in this field is of great importance.
Methods: The analysis of an anonymous survey of physicians and senior medical students was used in the research.
Results: The study revealed both an average level of basic knowledge in asthma etiology and pathogenesis among the physicians and senior medical students and the significant differences in their knowledge regarding clinical picture and treatment of asthma. Only 49.2% of students and 56.0% of doctors were able to choose the correct definition of asthma from the suggested answers; 65.7% of students and 69.9% of doctors correctly indicated the main clinical and laboratory markers of asthma; 60.2% of students and 91.0% of doctors determined the correct combination of drugs in one delivery device; and 75.9% of students and 91.2% of doctors selected the correct basic asthma therapy depending on the severity.
Conclusion: Basing on the results obtained it was recommended to introduce additional educational activities on the diagnosis and therapy of asthma among medical majors and physicians.
Par-delà le Quantified Self
Authors: Ruckenstein Minna , Pantzar Mika 
Published: June 2019

Nous examinerons dans cet article la métaphore du Quantified Self (QS) telle qu’elle est présentée dans le magazine Wired (2008-2012), où nous avons identifié quatre thèmes interdépendants – transparence, optimisation, boucles de rétroaction et biohacking – comme fondements de la définition d’un nouveau soi numérique et de la diffusion d’un paradigme dataïste. En suggérant que le QS fait jouer aux dispositifs et applications d’autosuivi un rôle d’interfaces pour dynamiser notre engagement auprès des nouvelles technologies et nous pousser ainsi à repenser la vie en se centrant sur les données, Wired met en exergue certains intérêts et désirs liés à la métaphore du QS, mais en ignore et en minimise d’autres. Notre analyse thématique du QS servira d’aide schématique pour soulever certaines questions critiques sur la quantification de soi, et notamment détecter la fusion d’affirmations épistémologiques, de produits technologiques et d’opérations commerciales. De ce point de vue, une autre définition du QS émerge : un système de connaissances qui reste souple dans ses objectifs et qui peut être utilisé comme ressource, aussi bien pour la recherche épistémologique que dans la formation de paradigmes alternatifs.
« Faire ses 10 000 pas », vraiment ?
Authors: Pharabod Anne-Sylvie 
Published: June 2019

En se concentrant sur le cas de la marche, cet article apporte un éclairage empirique au débat sur les pratiques de self-tracking , ces automesures personnelles à l’aide de bracelets et montres connectés ou d’applications sur smartphone, que certains perçoivent comme des nouvelles sources de connaissance de soi, et d’autres comme des formes inédites gouvernement des conduites. Il resitue la fabrication des automesures de marche dans la sociohistoire des podomètres et montre comment les dispositifs numériques privilégient désormais une visée d’évaluation permanente de l’activité physique plutôt que celle de sessions dédiées à la marche, intégrant ainsi une préoccupation de santé publique – lutter contre la sédentarité – au cœur de la vie quotidienne. Toutefois, en fouillant les manières de produire, lire et analyser les traces de marche de vingt self-trackers ordinaires, l’enquête montre qu’au-delà de l’appropriation d’un même cadre cognitif (unité de compte en pas plutôt qu’en kilomètres ou en durée, norme des 10 000 pas), les utilisateurs ajustent leurs pratiques d’automesure de façon personnelle. Leurs modes d’adoption des podomètres dans le temps et leurs logiques pour établir des chiffres qui leur servent sont bien trop variés pour entraîner un alignement de leur activité de marche quotidienne sur l’objectif de santé embarqué dans la plupart outils.
Une homo-bi-sexualité comme identité
Authors: Schilton-Miermont Delphine 
Published: June 2019

L’auteur propose d’appréhender l’identité homosexuelle par le biais de processus de pensée qui permettent au patient de rendre le monde qui l’entoure « homo » et semblable à lui-même, afin de l’édulcorer de toute altérité perçue comme trop dangereuse. Le déni, l’a-conflictualité, les euphémismes psychiques, la banalisation et le fantasme omnipotent et ubiquitaire occupent une place centrale.
Exit Roth
Authors: Dubreucq Éric 
Published: June 2019

Philip Roth est mort le 22 mai 2018 à 85 ans ; il laisse une œuvre considérable, à laquelle je veux essayer de rendre hommage, en soulignant, pour commencer, son caractère scandaleux : Roth fut accusé d’antisémitisme, de pornographie et de misogynie, et, pour cela, vilipendé sur la place publique. C’est que ses livres sont traversés de provocations, et qu’ils s’efforcent de décrire une expérience humaine faite, parfois, de grandeurs, et, souvent, de bassesses. La littérature, selon Roth, n’a pas de leçon de morale à donner ni à recevoir, parce que sa fonction n’est pas d’exprimer quelque idéal de pureté ou de bonté, mais de peindre, par le biais de certains procédés littéraires, la réalité, de la tenir à distance par le rire sans en occulter les aspects les plus sombres.
Victor Cousin et l’instrumentalisation de l’histoire de la philosophie
Authors: Rey Lucie 
Published: June 2019

En France au lendemain de la Révolution, l’histoire de la philosophie est instrumentalisée, son interprétation est subordonnée à des enjeux politiques. Aussi s’agit-il dans cet article de questionner le rapport que la philosophie française construit avec sa propre histoire du XIX e siècle, les usages de la tradition philosophique apparaissant comme des arguments de légitimation pour la philosophie présente. Cette thèse pourrait être défendue au sujet d’un certain nombre d’auteurs de l’époque ; cet article choisit de se centrer sur la figure de Victor Cousin, figure majeure pour la philosophie du XIX e siècle, qui illustre de manière particulièrement aiguë ce lien entre politique, philosophie présente et histoire de la philosophie.

Published: June 2019

Helicobacter pylori eradication continues to be a challenge in a group of patients after the failure of several therapeutic regimen attempts. Treatment regimen is generally chosen on the basis of the prevalence of bacterial resistance detected against the tested antibiotics. 60 sixty (60), adult out patients presented to Gastroenterology clinic of General Hospital Gashua undertook multiple gastric biopsy and specimens were carried for gram stain, culture, antimicrobial sensitivity testing, rapid urease test and histology. Antimicrobial susceptibility test were carryout using Epsilometer testing Kit (E-test) method and tested against Omeprazole, metronidazole Ranitidine, and Amoxicillin. About Sixty percent (30%) of the study population was positive for H. pylori infection (mean age of 34 years ± 15), 60% were males while 40% are women which are mostly married. Helicobacter pylori culture showed a sensitivity of 55% (95% CI (29.5– 62.1), specificity of 97% (95%CI (80.5–100%), positive likelihood ratio of 19.93 (95% CI (1.254– 317.04) and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.76 (95% CI (0.406–0.772). Eighteen (18) strains of Helicobacter pylori isolated 14 are sensitive to Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin, metronidazole; amoxicillin three (4) strains were resistant to ciprofloxacin and Amoxicillin and metronidazole when tested. It is imperative to have indebted knowledge on diagnostic method and antibiotic susceptibility patterns in the study area, since the accurate diagnosis of H. pylori is the idealistic view for both gastroenterologists and microbiologists, using synergistically invasive and noninvasive methods will be a future challenge in medical research topics. It is clear that recent advances in invasive and noninvasive methods for accurate diagnosis of the H. pylori can drastically change upcoming guidelines attributed with the management of this infection.

PurposeTo compare the performance in the execution of specific motor skills among novice futsal players in 3 competitive categories (U-7, U-9, and U-11) and to compare their performance in specific motor skills during the offensive and defensive phases of the game.MethodsTen specific motor skills were investigated, including 6 offensive actions and 4 defensive actions, in 49 futsal players aged 6–11 years. Technical performance was analysed in terms of the number of actions, the effectiveness of the action (successful or unsuccessful), and where the action occurred (offensive or defensive midfield). One-way ANOVA was used
with the Tukey test, when appropriate, or Student’s t-test, with a significance level of 5%.ResultsPlayers in the older categories were more effective defensively than those in the younger categories (F<sub>2,46</sub> = 6.04, p < 0.01, η<sup>2</sup> = 0.21). The two older groups had an approximately two- and three-fold greater chance, respectively, of executing successful defensive technical actions (<i>OR</i> = 1.82, <i>p</i> < 0.05; <i>OR</i> = 2.83, <i>p</i> < 0.01). Furthermore, the players were more technically effective in the offensive phase of the game than in the defensive phase (<i>M</i> = 41.35, <i>SD</i> = 21.53 and <i>M</i> = 16.47, <i>SD</i> = 7.90, respectively; t<sub>96</sub> = 7.60, <i>p</i> < 0.01, <i>d</i> = 1.69).ConclusionsPlayers in older competitive categories were more effective, and players were more effective offensively than defensively.
Flexible approach for quantifying average long-term changes and seasonal cycles of tropospheric trace species
Authors: Parrish David D. , Derwent Richard G. , O'Doherty Simon , Simmonds Peter G. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract. We present an approach for deriving a systematic
mathematical representation of the statistically significant features of the
average long-term changes and seasonal cycle of concentrations of trace
tropospheric species. The results for two illustrative data sets (time
series of baseline concentrations of ozone and N2O at Mace Head,
Ireland) indicate that a limited set of seven or eight parameter values
provides this mathematical representation for both example species. This
method utilizes a power series expansion to extract more information
regarding the long-term changes than can be provided by oft-employed linear
trend analyses. In contrast, the quantification of average seasonal cycles
utilizes a Fourier series analysis that provides less detailed seasonal
cycles than are sometimes represented as 12 monthly means; including
that many parameters in the seasonal cycle representation is not usually
statistically justified, and thereby adds unnecessary “noise” to the
representation and prevents a clear analysis of the statistical uncertainty
of the results. The approach presented here is intended to maximize the
statistically significant information extracted from analyses of time series
of concentrations of tropospheric species, regarding their mean long-term
changes and seasonal cycles, including nonlinear aspects of the long-term
trends. Additional implications, advantages and limitations of this approach
are discussed.
Application of open-path Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (OP-FTIR) to measure greenhouse gas concentrations from agricultural fields
Authors: Lin Cheng-Hsien , Grant Richard H. , Heber Albert J. , Johnston Cliff T. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract. Open-path Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
(OP-FTIR) has often been used to measure hazardous or trace gases from hot
point sources (e.g. volcano, industrial, or agricultural facilities) but
seldom used to measure greenhouse gases (GHGs) from field-scale sources
(e.g. agricultural soils). Closed-path mid-IR laser-based N2O,
nondispersive-IR CO2 analysers, and OP-FTIR were used to measure
concentrations of N2O and CO2 at a maize cropping system during
9–19 June 2014. To measure N2O and CO2 concentrations accurately, we
developed a quantitative method of N2O∕CO2 analysis that minimized
interferences from diurnal changes of humidity and temperature. Two
chemometric multivariate models, classical least squares (CLS) and partial
least squares (PLS), were developed. This study evaluated various methods to
generate the single-beam background spectra and different spectral regions
for determining N2O and CO2 concentrations from OP-FTIR spectra. A
standard extractive method was used to measure the actual path-averaged
concentrations along an OP-FTIR optical path in situ, as a benchmark to
assess the feasibilities of these quantitative methods. Within an absolute
humidity range of 5000–20 000 ppmv and a temperature range of 10–35 ∘C, we found that the CLS model underestimated N2O
concentrations (bias =-4.9±3.1 %) calculated from OP-FTIR
spectra, and the PLS model improved the accuracy of calculated N2O
concentrations (bias =1.4±2.3 %). The bias of calculated
CO2 concentrations was -1.0±2.8 % using the CLS model. These
methods suggested that environmental variables potentially lead to biases in
N2O and CO2 estimations from OP-FTIR spectra and may help OP-FTIR
users avoid dependency on extractive methods of calibrations.

Published: June 2019

Abstract. Biases in absorption coefficients measured using a
filter-based absorption photometer (Tricolor Absorption Photometer, or TAP)
at wavelengths of 467, 528 and 652 nm are evaluated by comparing to
measurements made using photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS). We report
comparisons for ambient sampling covering a range of aerosol types including
urban, fresh biomass burning and aged biomass burning. Data are also used to
evaluate the performance of three different TAP correction schemes. We found
that photoacoustic and filter-based measurements were well correlated, but
filter-based measurements generally overestimated absorption by up to 45 %. Biases varied with wavelength and depended on the correction scheme
applied. Optimal agreement to PAS data was achieved by processing the
filter-based measurements using the recently developed correction scheme of
Müller et al. (2014), which
consistently reduced biases to 0 %–18 % at all wavelengths. The biases
were found to be a function of the ratio of organic aerosol mass to
light-absorbing carbon mass, although applying the
Müller et al. (2014) correction
scheme to filter-based absorption measurements reduced the biases and the
strength of this correlation significantly. Filter-based absorption
measurement biases led to aerosol single-scattering albedos that were biased
low by values in the range 0.00–0.07 and absorption Ångström
exponents (AAEs) that were in error by ± (0.03–0.54). The discrepancy
between the filter-based and PAS absorption measurements is lower than
reported in some earlier studies and points to a strong dependence of
filter-based measurement accuracy on aerosol source type.
Late Quaternary climate variability at Mfabeni peatland, eastern South Africa

Published: June 2019

Abstract. The scarcity of continuous, terrestrial, palaeoenvironmental records in
eastern South Africa leaves the evolution of late Quaternary climate and its
driving mechanisms uncertain. Here we use a ∼7 m long core
from Mfabeni peatland (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) to reconstruct climate
variability for the last 32 000 years (cal ka BP). We infer past
vegetation and hydrological variability using stable carbon
(δ13Cwax) and hydrogen isotopes (δDwax) of plant-wax
n-alkanes and use Paq to reconstruct water table changes. Our results
indicate that late Quaternary climate in eastern South Africa did not
respond directly to orbital forcing or to changes in sea-surface
temperatures (SSTs) in the western Indian Ocean. We attribute the arid
conditions evidenced at Mfabeni during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to low
SSTs and an equatorward displacement of (i) the Southern Hemisphere
westerlies, (ii) the subtropical high-pressure cell, and (iii) the South Indian
Ocean Convergence Zone (SIOCZ), which we infer was linked to increased
Antarctic sea-ice extent. The northerly location of the high-pressure cell
and the SIOCZ inhibited moisture advection inland and pushed the
rain-bearing cloud band north of Mfabeni, respectively. The increased
humidity at Mfabeni between 19 and 14 cal kyr BP likely resulted from a
southward retreat of the westerlies, the high-pressure cell, and the SIOCZ,
consistent with a decrease in Antarctic sea-ice extent. Between 14 and 5 cal kyr BP, when the westerlies, the high-pressure cell, and the SIOCZ were in
their southernmost position, local insolation became the dominant control,
leading to stronger atmospheric convection and an enhanced tropical easterly
monsoon. Generally drier conditions persisted during the past ca. 5 cal ka BP,
probably resulting from an equatorward return of the westerlies, the
high-pressure cell, and the SIOCZ. Higher SSTs and heightened El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) activity
may have played a role in enhancing climatic variability during the past
ca. 5 cal ka BP. Our findings highlight the influence of the latitudinal
position of the westerlies, the high-pressure cell, and the SIOCZ in driving
climatological and environmental changes in eastern South Africa.
Emersonian Moods, Peircean Sentiments, and Ellingtonian Tones
Authors: Colapietro Vincent 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
This article is an exploration of certain central features of the affective dimension of human lives. It moves from a consideration of moods, especially as these feature into several of Emerson's essays, to a consideration of sentiments, as they are treated by Peirce, and concludes with tones. At the center of this article, there is an attempt to bring into focus some of the most important connections among moods, sentiments, and tones. The ephemeral and variable character of moods is contrasted to the abiding and integrated character of sentiments in Peirce's sense. The article concludes with a discussion of tone in general and its bearing on democracy in particular. The topic of tone is first examined in light of James's “The Social Value of the College-Bred” and, then, in that of Duke Ellington's musical experiments in hitting upon the right sound, including the right tone. This is an ongoing experimental and improvisatory process in which “mistakes” are taken up and incorporated into the flow of the music or some other endeavor. “By their tone,” James insisted, “are all things human either lost or saved.” This text is dedicated to showing the contemporary relevance of James's claim.
Bigger than Football: Fan Anxiety and Memory in the Racial Present
Authors: Tarver Erin C. 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTUnderstanding many white football fans' responses to football players' protests against police brutality requires recognizing the historical and contemporary role of football fandom in managing racial and gendered anxieties. In this article, I analyze three distinct uses of memory by white football fans as they work through the anxiety that results when the sport fails to work in the way they expect. My analysis draws on the opposing views of football taken by the American philosophers Josiah Royce and George Santayana and on contemporary social science research on the behavior of sports fans. I show that contemporary fan hostility to protesting players is consistent with the social ills that have surrounded football since the era of Royce's critique.
