Les artistes urbains belges, la « crise migratoire » et le terrorisme. Entretiens avec Kaer, Gioia Kayaga, Giacomo Lariccia, David Mendez Yepez, Tutu Puoane et Rival
Authors: Martiniello Marco 
Published: July 2017

Basé sur des entretiens menés avec six artistes de la scène musicale urbaine de trois grandes villes belges (Anvers, Bruxelles et Liège), l’article aborde trois questions : la « crise migratoire » actuelle, l’impact des attaques terroristes qui ont secoué le pays et les politiques mises en œuvre pour y répondre et enfin, la manière dont les artistes conçoivent leur rôle en tant qu’artistes dans la période très délicate que nos sociétés traversent. L’intérêt de ces conversations entre un sociologue des migrations et des artistes urbains dont l’histoire personnelle est directement marquée par les migrations repose sur l’idée que ces derniers sont des acteurs-clés dans les dynamiques urbaines post-migratoires et interculturelles.
Cartographier les mouvements migratoires
Authors: Bacon Lucie , Clochard Olivier , Honoré Thomas , Lambert Nicolas , Mekdjian Sarah , Rekacewicz Philippe 
Published: July 2017

À partir de diverses réalisations conventionnelles en géographie et/ou artistiques, parmi lesquels des travaux réalisés par les auteurs, cet article s’intéresse à la manière dont la cartographie des migrations internationales a évolué depuis le début des années 1990. La représentation des mouvements migratoires, qui oscille entre des flèches, des mesures de stocks et diverses formes de dessin, soulève autant d’enjeux scientifiques et politiques posés à la cartographie et géographie des migrations. Après un bref rappel des changements qu’a connus la cartographie des flux migratoires, depuis ses origines, au XIXe siècle, jusqu’à aujourd’hui, les auteurs évoquent les principaux défis techniques et épistémologiques que les cartes de flux ou représentant des itinéraires ne cessent de poser. Puis pour terminer, sont présentées de nouvelles formes cartographiques, ayant émergé depuis le début des années 2000, dans les domaines croisés de la science, de l’art et du militantisme.
Du social au biologique : les habits neufs de la « race » ? Entretien avec Magali Bessone et Claude-Olivier Doron
Authors: Grossi Élodie , Poiret Christian 
Published: July 2017

Il est communément admis en France que la notion biologique de race est scientifiquement invalidée depuis les années 1950. Pourtant, la « race », comme catégorie biologique, est loin d’être sortie des pratiques scientifiques. Au contraire, ces usages sont multiples et fragmentaires. La notion de race se transforme ainsi au fil de sa circulation entre disciplines des sciences « dures » et entre contextes nationaux. Et surtout, son usage comme notion biologique n’est pas cantonné aux seuls professionnels de la santé et des sciences naturelles. Aux États-Unis, les particuliers recourent à des tests génétiques pour s’affilier à des « races-ascendances bio-géographiques ». Des sociologues et historiens analysent les usages de la « race » en sciences « dures » et en médecine dans le contexte étatsunien, depuis une vingtaine d’années. Au regard de ce foisonnement nord-américain, les recherches en sciences sociales se font rares sur le sujet en France. Dans cet entretien, Magali Bessone et Claude-Olivier Doron proposent des lectures novatrices des modalités de construction et des usages des catégories ethniques et raciales dans le champ des sciences naturelles et de la médecine. Ils reviennent sur la pertinence de l’opposition entre constructivisme social et naturalisme lorsque ces paradigmes sont appliqués à la « race ». Enfin, ils invitent à déconstruire les usages parfois complexes de cette notion, en produisant des enquêtes empiriquement fondées dans le contexte français.
La renaissance de la « Route de la soie » : un mythe qui occulte les migrations internationales
Authors: Thorez Julien 
Published: July 2017

La « Route de la soie » est désormais l’une des principales notions utilisées par les acteurs politiques et quelquefois académiques pour décrire l’insertion des pays d’Asie centrale dans la mondialisation. Cette idée développée au XIXe siècle par le géographe allemand Ferdinand von Richtofen pour dépeindre les réseaux commerciaux reliant la Chine et l’Europe aux périodes antiques et médiévales est pourtant invalidée par la réalité des échanges internationaux de personnes et de marchandises. Les flux qui transitent par l’Asie centrale entre l’Europe et l’Asie restent en effet modestes au regard de la circulation mondiale, en raison de la primauté de la voie maritime. Par ailleurs, cette idée occulte les migrations internationales, alors même que la région a connu depuis une trentaine d’années des transformations considérables de son système migratoire qui bouleversent les sociétés et les territoires de l’Asie centrale.
Religion and culture: Revisiting a close relative
Authors: Beyers Jaco 
Published: July 2017

Religion and culture always exist in a close relation. Together with aesthetics and ethics, religion constitutes culture. As ethnicity becomes part of the related concepts, the relation with religion needs explanation. This article wants to emphasise that when studying religion, a study of culture is necessary. This statement is argued from three positions: (1) cultural migrations occurring worldwide, (2) religion as cultural identity marker causing the borders between culture and religion to blur and (3) the location of religion within culture causing religion to act as custodian of culture. This results in a situation where any signs of animosity towards culture are interpreted as opposition towards religion. All three arguments necessitate studying ethnicity when studying religion.
Development of a Hypertension Health Literacy Assessment Tool for use in primary healthcare clinics in South Africa, Gauteng
Authors: Mafutha Nokuthula G. , Mogotlane Sophie , De Swardt Hester C. 
Published: July 2017

Background: Hypertension is a universal risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in both the ageing and obese populations and patients must be literate in hypertension health issues to participate actively in the management of their disease. Little research has been done to investigate hypertension health literacy levels among South Africans.Aim: To develop a Hypertension Heath Literacy Assessment Tool to establish patients’ comprehension of the health education they receive in primary healthcare (PHC) clinics in Tshwane, Gauteng, South Africa.Setting: PHC clinics in Tshwane, Gauteng, South Africa.Methods: The design was quantitative, descriptive and contextual in nature. The study population comprised health promoters who were experts in the field of health, documents containing hypertension health education content and individuals with hypertension. Participants were conveniently and purposefully selected. A modified Delphi technique was used to develop and validate the Hypertension Health Literacy Assessment Tool (HHLAT). To ensure validity and reliability of the HHLAT, the tool was administered to 195 participants concurrently with the Learning Ability Battery (LAB).Results: There was a strong positive (F = 76.0, p < 0.0001, R2 = 28.25%) correlation between the LAB and the HHLAT. The HHLAT indicated that only 37 (19%) of the patients with hypertension had poor hypertension health literacy levels.Conclusion: The HHLAT is a valid tool that can be used in busy PHC clinics as it takes less than two minutes to administer. This tool can inform the healthcare worker on the depth of hypertension health education to be given to the patient, empowering the patient and saving time in PHC facilities.
The impact of monetary policy on household consumption in South Africa: Evidence from vector autoregressive techniques
Authors: Owusu-Sekyere Emmanuel 
Published: July 2017

Background: This article adds to scarce sub-Saharan African and South African literature on monetary policy transmission mechanisms by looking into: (1) the Keynesian interest rate channel of monetary policy transmission in South Africa, focussing on the behaviour of household credit and household consumption; (2) using the time-varying parameter vector autoregressive (VAR) techniques with stochastic volatility to capture the time-varying nature of the underlying structure of the South African economy to see whether it performs better than the constant parameter VAR in so doing and (3) policy implications emerging from the findings of the study.Aim: In testing the hypotheses of the interest rate channel of monetary policy transmission, the aim is to see how household credit and ultimately household consumption have evolved in South Africa: (1) before inflation targeting (1994–1999), (2) after inflation targeting (2000–2007) and (3) during the global financial crisis (2007–2012) in response to different monetary policy positioning.Setting: We focus on three periods: post transition from apartheid, during inflation targeting and during the global financial crisis, periods which saw changes in the monetary policy stance in South Africa.Methods: Quarterly data from 1994Q1 to 2012Q4, constant parameter VAR and time-varying parameter vector autoregressive (TVP-VAR) techniques are used in this study. The use of the TVP-VAR is to capture the time-varying nature of the underlying structure of the South African economy and also to investigate whether it performs better than the constant parameter VAR in so doing.Results: The results show that household credit and consumption declined and stayed negative post transition and after inflation targeting – periods of monetary tightening in South Africa - but increased during the global financial crisis, which saw expansionary monetary policy measures aimed at mitigating the negative output gap in South Africa.Conclusion: These changes in household credit and consumption across the different time periods show evidence of the cost of credit effect of monetary policy on household consumption in South Africa. They further reflect the impact of different structural changes and exogenous shocks on monetary policy conduct in South Africa and its pass through effect on household consumption in South Africa. We further conclude that the time TVP-VAR with stochastic volatility performs better than the constant parameter VAR in capturing the time-varying nature of the underlying structure of the South African economy.
Impacts of Export-platform FDI on the production of upstream industries - Do third country size, trade agreements and local content requirement matter? Evidence from the Vietnamese supporting industries
Authors: Nguyen-Huu Thanh Tam , Nguyen-Khac Minh 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
This paper investigates the impacts of Export-platform foreign direct investment on the production of upstream industries through backward linkages. First, in a threecountry model, these impacts are explained through a competition effect and a demand effect. Otherwise, such production is also affected by third country size, local content requirement, and power of trade agreements between the host and the third countries. Second, in the case of the Vietnamese supporting industries between 2000 and 2012, Export-platform FDI generates a negative effect. Moreover, local content requirement, and trade agreements between Vietnam and other countries positively impacts the production level of these industries whereas third countries size has an ambiguous impact.

Abstract. Predicting how forest carbon cycling will change in response to climate change and management depends on the collective knowledge from measurements across environmental gradients, ecosystem manipulations of global change factors, and mathematical models. Formally integrating these sources of knowledge through data assimilation, or model–data fusion, allows the use of past observations to constrain model parameters and estimate prediction uncertainty. Data assimilation (DA) focused on the regional scale has the opportunity to integrate data from both environmental gradients and experimental studies to constrain model parameters. Here, we introduce a hierarchical Bayesian DA approach (Data Assimilation to Predict Productivity for Ecosystems and Regions, DAPPER) that uses observations of carbon stocks, carbon fluxes, water fluxes, and vegetation dynamics from loblolly pine plantation ecosystems across the southeastern US to constrain parameters in a modified version of the Physiological Principles Predicting Growth (3-PG) forest growth model. The observations included major experiments that manipulated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, water, and nutrients, along with nonexperimental surveys that spanned environmental gradients across an 8.6  ×  105 km2 region. We optimized regionally representative posterior distributions for model parameters, which dependably predicted data from plots withheld from the data assimilation. While the mean bias in predictions of nutrient fertilization experiments, irrigation experiments, and CO2 enrichment experiments was low, future work needs to focus modifications to model structures that decrease the bias in predictions of drought experiments. Predictions of how growth responded to elevated CO2 strongly depended on whether ecosystem experiments were assimilated and whether the assimilated field plots in the CO2 study were allowed to have different mortality parameters than the other field plots in the region. We present predictions of stem biomass productivity under elevated CO2, decreased precipitation, and increased nutrient availability that include estimates of uncertainty for the southeastern US. Overall, we (1) demonstrated how three decades of research in southeastern US planted pine forests can be used to develop DA techniques that use multiple locations, multiple data streams, and multiple ecosystem experiment types to optimize parameters and (2) developed a tool for the development of future predictions of forest productivity for natural resource managers that leverage a rich dataset of integrated ecosystem observations across a region.
Feasibility of Using Telehealth to Deliver the “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” Program
Authors: Serwe Katrina M. , Hersch Gayle I. , Pancheri Karen 
Published: July 2017

Caregivers report poorer health and wellness than the general population and identify numerous barriers to their attending programs to improve health and wellness. The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of employing a telehealth delivery method to enhance access to caregiver wellness programs. This article presents the quantitative results of a mixed methods feasibility study of translating the Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC) program to a telehealth delivery format. Four unpaid family caregivers of older adults participated in a telehealth delivered PTC program, a wellness program with established outcomes in the in-person environment. The program was delivered using synchronous videoconferencing methods. High class attendance and a high median total average Telehealth Usability Questionnaire score of 5.7 indicated the telehealth delivery method was feasible. This research suggests that telehealth is a feasible delivery format for a caregiver program traditionally delivered in an in-person format.
Feasibility of a Supplemental Phonological Awareness Intervention via Telepractice for Children with Hearing Loss: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Lee Sue Ann S. , Hall Brittany , Sancibrian Sherry 
Published: July 2017

The goal of the current study was to examine the feasibility of a telepractice intervention to improve phonological awareness skills in children with hearing loss as compared to a conventional in-person intervention. Twenty children with hearing loss participated in this study. Two groups of ten children each received a supplemental phonological awareness intervention either via telepractice or an in-person service delivery model. Within each of the two groups, five children were enrolled in preschool or kindergarten and five children were enrolled in first or second grade. The two groups of children demonstrated similar phonological awareness, non-verbal IQ, and vocabulary skills during pre-tests. After a 12-week intervention children with hearing loss showed improved phonological awareness skills as measured by a standardized post-test. No significant differences were found between the performance of the telepractice group and in-person group. Nor was a significant interaction found between the two age groups (PreK/K vs. 1st /2nd grade) and the two types of service delivery models (in-person vs. telepractice). The results suggest that a telepractice service delivery model is feasible for young children with hearing loss, and that telepractice may be as effective as in-person intervention in improving phonological awareness skills.

The current issue of the International Journal of Telerehabilitation (IJT) contains original work that explores the feasibility of telerehabilitation for a diversity of purposes: a health and wellness program for caregivers; a phonological awareness program for children with hearing loss; telepractice in a school setting for at-risk youth; occupational therapy home visits employing mHealth to facilitate discharge from the acute admission back to the community, and speech and language intervention for primary school-aged children. The issue’s lead article, “Privacy and Security in Multi-User Health Kiosks” offers an audit protocol that can be used to assess whether a multi-user health kiosk is meeting privacy and security regulations such as HIPAA and HITECH.
Telehealth is Face-to-Face Service Delivery
Authors: Cason Jana 
Published: July 2017

The Commentary contests the increasingly outdated and narrow use of the terminology ‘face-to-face’ (often abbreviated as F2F) to connote clinical interactions in which both the client and the practitioner are physically present in the same room or space. An expanded definition is necessary because when delivered synchronously via videoconferencing, telehealth also provides face-to-face services (i.e., the practitioner and the client view each other’s faces). Terminology that uses face-to-face to connote only in-person care is limiting and perpetuates language that is out of line with progressive US regulatory language and broad interpretation within existing regulatory language. It is this author’s hope that this commentary will raise awareness of the important policy implications associated with this seemingly minor distinction in terminology and impact the lingering misapplication of the term, face-to-face.
*ABA revisited: Evidence from Czech and Latin degree morphology
Authors: De Clercq Karen , Vanden Wyngaerd Guido 
Published: July 2017

We present a novel account of root suppletion in comparatives and superlatives, and show how it accounts for the presence of ABB and ABC patterns, as well as the absence of ABA patterns. The account assumes that suppletive roots, despite appearances to the contrary, are not contextual allomorphs, but portmanteaus spelling out two distinct features, one belonging to the lexical root, and another one belonging to the comparative. The regular comparative affix then spells out an additional feature relating to the comparative domain. In other words, we show that the comparative (CMPR) head that enters into the morphological makeup of the comparative (Bobaljik 2012) is to be split up into two distinct heads, C1 and C2 (see also Caha 2016). We extend this idea to SPRL, which we show is likewise to be split up into S1 and S2, in order to account for suppletive ABC patterns. These four distinct heads receive empirical support from facts of the degree morphology in Czech and Latin. The new account of root suppletion allows a straightforward way of deriving the attested and unattested patterns of (root) suppletion in degree comparison. The analysis developed supports the hypothesis that the absence of AAB patterns in degree comparison is due to a constraint of a different nature altogether.

<p>Stoicism has been used to describe a wide range of behaviors in the face of disease that go from silence, resistance to the adversity, or ‘to make the best of a bad disease’. This study pursued two objectives: 1) analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the LSS; 2) assess the relation between stoicism and gender, age, and the five-factor personality model. NEOcoping is a prospective, multicenter, observational, non-interventionist study. Patients were recruited consecutively at thirteen Spanish teaching hospitals. The following scales were administered: Liverpool Stoicism Scale (LSS) and Big Five Inventory (BFI-10). A total of 443 patients (250 females) with a mean age of 59.8 years (<em>SD</em> =12.3) were enrolled. Colon cancer was the most common (40.0%), followed by breast cancer (32.7%). At the total-scale level, mean LSS was lower than the originally reported British series and higher than Latvian sample. The four-factor structure fitted the data well, had a clear interpretation, and the derived scales showed acceptable reliabilities. The personality trait of introversion predicted 4.1% of the variance of stoicism (<em>p</em>&lt;.001). The LSS scale demonstrates good psychometric properties to appraise stoicism in the Spanish population with resected cancer. </p>
