Quels facteurs influencent la satisfaction des cadres à l'égard de l'équilibre des temps (personnel et professionnel) ?
Authors: Genin Émilie 
Published: September 2014

Cet article s’intéresse aux facteurs pouvant influencer la satisfaction des cadres à l’égard de l’équilibre entre temps personnel et temps professionnel. Il présente les résultats d’une enquête menée par la CFDT Cadres auprès de cadres français. Le premier constat reflète une insatisfaction généralisée des participants face à l’équilibre des temps. En second lieu, l’équilibre des temps semble plus lié à des facteurs professionnels – la charge de travail ressentie, le manque d’autonomie pour prendre ses jours de congés, le temps de trajet entre le lieu de travail et le domicile ainsi que le débordement du travail sur le temps personnel – qu’à des facteurs individuels – âge et sexe.
HEMATOPOIETIC CELL TRANSPLANTATION FOR OLDER PATIENTS WITH MDS
Authors: Shadman Mazyar , Deeg Joachim 
Published: September 2014

The incidence of myeloid malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) increases with age. While several therapeutic modalities have been developed, for most of these patients the only treatment with curative potential is allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The development of reduced/low intensity transplant conditioning regimens allows to successfully transplant patients in their ‘60s and even ‘70s, although comorbidities may determine who does come to transplantation and who does not. Also, as many as half of the patients will develop graft versus host disease (GVHD), even with HLA matched donors, requiring therapy for extended periods of time, and GVHD and treatment with glucocorticoids is likely to impact the quality of life. Nevertheless, dependent upon disease stage at HCT, the presence of comorbidities and the regimen used, 30% to 50% of patients 60 years of age or older, may survive long-term cured of their disease. Future studies should focus on the incorporation of non-transplant modalities into the overall transplant approach, the prevention of GVHD, and the utilization of immunotherapy to reduce the incidence of relapse and GVHD and further improve overall transplant success.
PREDICTORS OF MORTALITY IN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED CRITICAL PERTUSSIS IN A LOW INCOME COUNTRY: NEW RESURGENCE IN 2013.
Authors: Borgi Aida 
Published: September 2014

Background: Critical pertussis is characterized by severe respiratory failure, severe leukocytosis, pulmonary hypertension, septic shock and encephalopathy.Aim: To describe the clinical course of critical pertussis and identify predictors of death at the time of presentation for medical care.Methodology: retrospective study conducted in children’s hospital Tunisian PICU between 01 January and 31 october 2013. Patients with critical pertussis confirmed by RT-PCR and requiring mechanical ventilation were included. Predictors of death were studied.Results : A total of 17 patients were included. Median age was 50 days. Mortality was 23%. Predictors risk of mortality were high PRISM (p=0,007), shock (p=0,002), tachycardia (p=0,005), seizures (p=0,006), altered mental status(p=0,006), elevated WBC count (p=0,003) and hemodynamic support (p=0022). However difference did not reach statistical significance in comorbidity, pneumoniae, high pulmonary hypertension or exchange transfusion. Concomitant viral or bacterial coinfection wasn’t related to poor outcome.Conclusion: Young infants are at high risk to have critical pertussis. Despite advances in life support and the treatment of organ failure in childhood critical illness, critical pertussis remains difficult to treat.

ABSTRACT
Background This study explored the outcome of children with patent anterior fontanelles who were treated with trans-fontanelle ultrasound scan (TFUSS), which is more affordable and available than CT scan and MRI in the diagnosis of childhood intracranial pathologies and treatment of subdural empyema, in developing countries. Patients and Methods: Seventeen infants with post-meningitic subdural empyema, diagnosed using trans-fontanelle ultrasound alone and treated with subdural tapping over a 31-months period, were studied. Results: Eleven patients presented with grades II and III Bannister and William grading for level of consciousness in intracranial subdural empyema. Aspirate from 7 (41.2%) patients were sterile. The most common organisms isolated were Streptococcus faecalis 3 (17.6%), Haemophilus Influenza 2 (11.8) and Staphylococcus aureus 2 (11.8), multiple organisms were isolated in three of the patients. Ninety-four percent (94%) of the patients had good outcome. Five subjects developed hydrocephalus, one patient had a recurrence of subdural empyema, four patients had residual hemiparesis, two of the four patients had speech difficulties, while one patient (~6%) died. Conclusion: While CT and MRI remain the gold standard for investigating intracranial lesions, transfontanelle ultrasonography is adequate for diagnosis of infantile subdural empyema in resource-challenged areas. Percutaneous subdural tap is an affordable and effective therapy in such patients with financial challenges.
A case of Ross syndrome presented with Horner and chronic cough
Authors: Baran Aslihan , Balbaba Mehmet , Demir Caner F. , Özdemir Hasan H. 
Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTRoss syndrome is a rare sweating disorder associated with Adie’s tonic pupil, decreased or diminished tendon reflex and unknown etiology. Although autonomic disturbances affecting sudomotor and vasomotor functions are seen commonly, they are rarely symptomatic. While Ross syndrome is typically characterized with dilated tonic pupil, it may be rarely manifested with miotic pupils (little old Adie’s pupil), which can make diagnosis difficult. In this article, we aim to specify the atypical clinical manifestations of syndrome by means of Ross syndrome manifested by autonomic symptoms, Horner syndrome, chronic cough together with bilateral little old Adie’s pupil.
Ischemic stroke following abuse of Marijuana in a Nigerian adult male
Authors: Oyinloye Olalekan , Nzeh Donald , Yusuf Ayodeji , Sanya Emmanuel 
Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTCannabis is the most widely used illicit drug among adolescents and young adults. Despite its widespread use, only a few reports exist on the association of cannabis use and stroke. A 26-year-old Nigerian male, developed right-sided ischemic stroke few hours after smoking three wraps of cannabis. He had smoked cannabis consistently for the past 4 years prior to the development of the stroke. Known stroke etiology and abuse of other illicit drugs were ruled out from history and investigations. Neuroimaging studies of the brain revealed infarcts in basal ganglia secondary to occlusion of blood flow in the left anterior and middle cerebral arteries. The mechanism of stroke in this patient was thought to be a cannabis-induced vasculopathy. Many cases of stroke in the young are increasingly being seen in hospitals in resource scarce countries. There seems to be a predilection for the basal ganglia in ischemic stroke following cannabis abuse. Therefore, cannabis abuse should be considered in young adults with basal ganglia infarcts, after excluding other known etiologies.
Psychiatric disorders revealing multiple sclerosis after 20 years of evolvement

Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTPrevious research indicates that the onset of psychiatric disorders is sometimes associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) evolving several years later. However, information on why this might occur, and on the outcomes of such patients, is still lacking. We aim to discuss these limitations with the current paper. We describe a 51-year-old female who demonstrated severe anxiety disorder and depression years before developing MS neurological symptoms. The patient was treated for these psychiatric disorders over 20 years. In the last 3 years of her treatment, the patient demonstrated a choreic-type of movement disorder in all her limbs. This disorder is consistent with relapsing-remitting MS. Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations demonstrated aspects of MS, without MS being diagnosed conclusively. The visual evoked potential indicated a diagnosis of conduction abnormalities. The established diagnosis was slow relapsing MS. The patient underwent methylprednisolone bolus (1 g/day). This case-study suggests that health professionals should conduct a full neurological assessment when they find atypical psychiatric symptoms in a patient. This would make sure that patients receive a better standard of care, and thus experience a better quality of life.

Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTCraniosynostosis (CS) is premature fusion of skull. It is divided into two groups: Syndromic craniosynostosis (SCS) and non-syndromic craniosynostosis (NSC). Its incidence in Indian population is 1:1000 live births where as in the USA it is 1:2500 live births. Its incidence varies from country to country. Molecular genetics having great interest and relevance in medical students, faculty, scientist, pediatric neurosurgeon and staff nurses, our objective was to educate the medical students, residents, researchers, clinicians, pediatric neurosurgeon, anesthetists, pediatricians, staff nurses and paramedics. We summarized here including with diagnosis, investigations, surgical therapy, induction therapy, and molecular therapy. Molecular genetics training is needed to know the information regarding development of skull, cranial connective tissue, craniofacial dysplasia, frame work, network of receptors and its etiopathogenesis. The important part is clinically with molecular therapy (MT) how to manage CS in rural sector and metropolitan cities need a special attention.
Introduction: Exile and Social Transformation
Authors: Allatson Paul , McCormack Jo 
Published: September 2014

This paper serves as an introduction to the special issue of Portal on exile and its potential to effect social change. The critical and creative discussions that follow this introduction respond to a particular set of problems. What factors permit and preclude exilic individual and communal transformation? Is there a need to rethink exilic agency in accord with local times, cultures and places, and to refocus attention on exile communal impacts on a host society? And, in a globalized epoch characterized by mass population movements across geopolitical lines, do states and national desires still have key roles to play in the production of exile? There are no straightforward answers to these questions, but all gesture toward the inadequacy of a single overarching definition or description of exile. Indeed, the process of exile has generated a great deal of debate regarding to whom the term exile applies and when. Furthermore, a number of unresolved issues recur in the extensive literature on the topic: the problematic location of exile and its definitional dependency on a home or homeland; the multivalent struggles to attain and maintain exilic voice, representation, memory, and identity on many fronts (individual, familial, communal, national, transnational); exile’s uneasy relation to modernity, the state, and globalization; and exile’s conceptual competition with other terms, such as diaspora, exodus, refugee and migrant. Intended as a selective reprise of these issues and the ways the contributors to this issue have responded to them, this introduction identifies some of the claims that have been made of exile as a space or mode of social transformation, as well as the possible limits of such claims.

Teleconsultation with a Developing Country: Student Reported Outcomes of Learning
Authors: Foti Megan K. , Eleazar Crystal , Furphy Kimberly A. 
Published: September 2014

This qualitative study explored the benefits of implementing (international) teleconsultation in a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) curriculum. Twenty-one students provided supervised teleconsultative services to individuals with disabilities in Guatemala and were responsible for completing assessments, setting goals, and providing resources to address goals and improve quality of life. Data were collected through student presentations and coded for relevant themes. Analysis revealed new learning in the areas of the occupational therapy process, cultural awareness, and technology. Three themes emerged: Increased Understanding of Awareness of and Challenges to Working with People of Different Culture; Need for Adaptability and Flexibility as Practicing Clinicians; Emerging Role of Technology in Occupational Therapy. Based on results from this study, occupational therapy academicians should consider implementing similar programs into curricula and conduct related research in order to promote not only student learning, but also to advance the use of technology in occupational therapy practice.

Authors: Sayão Sandro Cozza 
Published: September 2014

Pensar sobre a Educação Ambiental, seu sentido e desafios em nosso tempo, é a grande tarefa deste artigo. O que proponho é mostrar e reafirmar o caráter crítico e reflexivo da Educação Ambiental, especulando sobre seu compromisso na criação de espaços nos quais se possa aprender a olhar, sentir, pensar, agir e conviver eticamente. A ideia central do texto gravita em torno do desejo de falar de um modo, de fazer educação alinhado à responsabilidade socioambiental, na qual o impulso à ampliação da consciência é capaz de nos conduzir a patamares em que a ética, a sensibilidade e o amor tornam-se elementos vigorosos do agir humano.
A mediação na educação popular e seu impacto na subjetividade
Authors: Mogilka Maurício 
Published: September 2014

A discussão travada neste artigo pretende ser uma contribuição ao complexo problema das questões psicossociais presentes na relação de mediação em educação popular. A discussão toma como ponto específico o impacto que esta relação tem ou pode ter no desenvolvimento da subjetividade popular. Este tema é de fundamental importância para as práticas de mediação com caráter libertador, paradigma que é o principal fundamento deste texto. Contudo, o termo libertador é tomado aqui em sentido amplo, para designar não apenas o pensamento de autores latino-americanos fundamentais para se compreender a nossa realidade social, como Paulo Freire, Carlos Rodrigues Brandão ou Pablo Richard, mas também qualquer outro autor que possa contribuir para os processos de libertação do ser humano. Neste texto específico, foram trabalhadas reflexões vindas da própria prática do autor no trabalho social, há mais de duas décadas, e algumasdeias de autores como Dewey, Sartre, Hegel e Galeffi.
Alfabetização de Jovens e Adultos na Reforma Agrária – a experiência no Noroeste de Minas Gerais

Published: September 2014

Em nosso país, existem milhares de adultos no campo que, por diversos motivos, não tiveram acesso à educação. Considerando que a educação se constitui um direito social, muitos programas governamentais vêm surgindo, a exemplo, o PRONERA (Programa Nacional de Educação na Reforma Agrária). No período de 2006 a 2007 foi estabelecido um convênio da UFV (Universidade Federal de Viçosa) em parceria com o PRONERA/INCRA/FETAEMG, com o objetivo de alfabetizar 1.976 adultos assentados e acampados, na região Noroeste de Minas Gerais. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo relatar a experiência da UFV, no que se refere ao desenvolvimento do Projeto: “A Educação em Movimento: Interagir e Aprender em Busca da Cidadania” Neste contexto o estudo em questão apoiou-se em pesquisa bibliográfica e análises de documentos. Ao final do Projeto além da UFV ter cumprido com seu papel social, os universitários tiveram complementação em sua formação acadêmica, na área da Educação de Jovens e Adultos, aos jovens e adultos assentados da região Noroeste de Minas, foi oferecida a oportunidade e a garantia do direito de alfabetizar-se.
Orientações da UNESCO para a formação de professores no e do campo na Década da Educação (1997-2007)

Published: September 2014

A partir de 1990, no âmbito das Nações Unidas, foram realizados eventos cuja tônica foi a Educação e a Formação de Professores. Derivaram de cada um dos eventos documentos que estabeleceram políticas que tratavam da Formação de Professores. Pareceu-nos significativo captar e analisar, nos documentos gerados pela UNESCO, conteúdos que apontaram para políticas de governo que corporificaram, nos seus discursos, elementos para a Formação de Professores. Nesse sentido, apreender as influências da organização vinculada à ONU, denominada UNESCO, sobre as propostas de Formação de Professores no e do Campo foi o desafio que empreendemos. Nessa perspectiva, a pesquisa vinculada ao Projeto: Em Busca de Uma Política de Formação de professores no Brasil – orientações da UNESCO 1990, examinou as políticas de Formação de Professores para a Educação no e do Campo contidas nas orientações da UNESCO para o Brasil, na década da educação (1997 – 2007). A relevância do estudo da problemática desvelou que, na Formação de Professores para a Educação no e do Campo, houve ruptura entre os objetivos declarados e a prática realizada. A educação no e do campo é timidamente tratada, muitas vezes apresentada como “rural” ou “de zonas mais afastadas” e ainda “lugares de difícil acesso”, incidindo nas políticas de Formação de Professores no Brasil.

“We are no boy scouts” An exploratory study of the criminal careers of members of one-percent motorcycle clubs
Using officially registered conviction history data, this study examines the criminal careers of 601 members of Dutch outlaw motorcycle gangs, identified as such by the Dutch police. We find that the average 1% er in our sample is a 44-year-old, Dutch-born male. The large majority of these 1% ers have been convicted for a crime at least once. One in four convicted 1% ers can be classified as a chronic offender accumulating over ten convictions from age 12 until 2013. The large majority of 1% ers experiences an adult onset of their officially registered criminal career, with almost half acquiring their first conviction when they are aged 30 or older, challenging the generality of criminology's accepted conclusions about criminal career development.

DNA in the Criminal Justice System: the DNA success story in perspective
Current statistics are unclear about the contribution of DNA as a crime-fighting tool. To obtain an objective view on the effectiveness to use DNA as intelligence information we analyzed all forensic reports from serious (N=116) and high volume crime cases (N=2791) over the year 2011 at one police region in the Netherlands. DNA-profile results show that 38 percent of the serious crime traces (N=384) and 17 percent of the high volume crime traces (N=386) did not result in a DNA-profile. Turnaround times of these DNA-traces from crime scene to DNA-report were relatively long; for serious crimes 66 days and for high volume crimes 44 days. Based on these results a suspect was truly identified through a match with the Offender DNA-database of the Netherlands in 3 percent of the serious crime cases and in 1 percent of the high volume crime cases. Insight in DNA-results and adjustments in the analysis process could benefit the use of DNA as a crime-fighting tool.

Een benadering op maat
The quality of the relationship between boys and group workers in a correctional youth facility determines a part of the success of their incarceration. In a Q-study is examined what incarcerated boys consider as important in (the interaction with) group workers. There are four preferences discerned: anxious & willingly; rebellious & defensive; autonomous & indifferent; dependent & approachable. The needs in dealing with group workers of these four differ. Understanding and awareness of these preferences can provide tools for the treatment of boys in a correctional facility. It can enlarge the opportunity for a good relationship and the boys’ readiness to change.
De Nederlandse Vereniging voor Criminologie en de ontwikkeling van het vakgebied tussen 1974 en 2014
Authors: van Swaaningen René 
Published: September 2014

The Netherlands’ Society of Criminology and the development of the discipline between 1974 and 2014
For the occasion of the 40 th anniversary of the Netherlands’ Society of Criminology the author has analysed the Society’s archive and related the development of this professional organisation to the development of Dutch criminology in the period between 1974 and 2014. He distinguishes five turning points in this respect: between 1965 and 1974 we witnessed the emancipation of criminology as an autonomous discipline; the period 1978-1985 is characterised by a downfall of criminology at the universities; between 1992 and 1995 a period of restoration started, that is characterised by a focus on criminology’s policy-relevance; from 1999 to 2010 we can witness a recovery, in which academic criminology raised like a phoenix from its ashes; and from that time on we see the discipline broadening up again, in which the dominance of positivist research agendas is countered by a cultural criminology and a more critical attitude towards the production-oriented research policy in general. The bottom line is that the Society followed these trends imperceptibly: it was active when criminology did well and was ‘in rest’ when it did not. The article concludes with the question whether the Society has an active role to play in the public debate about the role of science and crime and punishment.
