Authors: Maskey R , Sharma R , Sharma B , Upadhaya S , Dhakal SS 
Published: November 2012

Idiopathic thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a reduced platelet count with otherwise normal blood cell counts. Autoimmune thyroid disease is not considered a cause of thrombocytopenia. We report a case of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura associated with hyperthyroidism in which the patient's thrombocytopenia and thyrotoxicosis resolved concomitantly. We recommend testing for hyperthyroidism in all patients with unexplained thrombocytopenia and that family members of patients be evaluated, screened, and observed for thrombocytopenia and hyperthyroidism.

Performance et résistance
Authors: Amadio Nicolas 
Published: November 2012

Résumé La performance s’impose-t-elle comme une notion exogène à l’intervention sociale ou s’inscrit-elle dans la continuité de son évolution socio-historique ? si elle s’inscrit dans l’histoire de l’intervention sociale, ne doit-on pas envisager qu’elle puisse en être un vecteur de développement ? à quelles conditions ? L’article s’attache à montrer, à partir d’une contextualisation socio-historique, que les organisations de l’intervention sociale devraient, pour ce faire, être en mesure de pallier les défauts issus de « l’idéologique gestionnaire » sur laquelle s’appuie pour l’instant principalement l’introduction de la performance.
Les sentiers de la performance
Authors: Portets Noëlle 
Published: November 2012

Résumé Si la performance est superlative, elle porte en elle un rapport au temps spécifique, visant efficacité et synchronisation des comportements. Comment penser le(s) temps d’expériences singulières ? La performance est performative : en disant, elle accomplit. De quels mots parlons-nous le travail social ? Jusqu’où courir se demande E. Zatopek, inventeur du sprint final. Tendre vers le moment où, c’est aussi ce que recherchent les personnes qu’accompagnent les travailleurs sociaux : un travail d’évaluation vise là à trouver son arrangement propre, au milieu des autres. Tenir le modèle adaptatif, c’est risquer de nous perdre. Comment alors penser ensemble l’ éco nomique et une « éco logie du lien social » ?
La performance pour les organisations médico-sociales : évoluer sans se dévoyer
Authors: Samr Mustapha 
Published: November 2012

Résumé La performance est avant tout un concept à décaler de la culture du chiffre, du quantifiable. Aujourd’hui, se repérer dans le champ du secteur médico-social peut être déjà en soi une performance. Dans une société se voulant inclusive, les besoins des usagers sont-ils totalement respectés ? Le nouveau paradigme de la performance, associé essentiellement aux aspects comptables et organisationnels, fait vaciller le fait associatif et ses valeurs fondatrices. La définition de la santé retenue par l’ oms ne fait référence à aucune mesure parce qu’aucune mesure, ni plusieurs ne peuvent déterminer une fois pour toutes l’état de bien-être d’un individu, donc sa santé.
Handicap : l'inclusion comme performance
Authors: Grimaud Lin 
Published: November 2012

Résumé L’implication de la société globale à l’égard de la personne handicapée obéit aujourd’hui à ce qu’on appelle la politique de l’inclusion. Ce principe induit une confrontation effective qui, si elle repose bien sur une intention éthiquement et politiquement correcte, n’en constitue pas moins une épreuve pour les parties en présence : l’usager, sa famille, les aidants professionnels, les acteurs de la société ordinaire. Car de fait, un système de représentations sociales implicites tend à contrarier la mise en œuvre de l’inclusion. Avec quelles théories comprendre la nature de ces entraves qui font bien souvent du processus d’inclusion de la personne handicapée un parcours du combattant et une véritable performance ?
L'injonction de gagner, la grâce de perdre
Authors: Buoro Vincent 
Published: November 2012

Résumé Souvent remplis de doutes sur leurs capacités, les étudiants en travail social font l’expérience du non-sens durant leur formation, tiraillés entre la précision de leur désir et la découverte d’attendus tout aussi précis mais pour autant éloignés de ce qui les fait entrer en formation. Là, dans ce rapport entre souffrance et désir, s’immisce sans détour ni prévention une distinction entre formation et diplôme. Quand leurs mots traduisent une joie lors des résultats, les nôtres résonnent ailleurs, certes remplis du plaisir de les voir en réussite, mais également avec l’espoir que quelque chose a lâché du côté du résultat réel. Où se situe la notion de performance ? Dans le fait de réussir, de produire es compétences, ou dans celui de rendre possible un indécision ? Accompagner un étudiant prend alors sens dans cette dialectique qui s’ouvre entre la quête du diplôme et la souffrance pour l’atteindre. Le reste ne se maîtrise pas, il est le fruit de la rencontre et de l’accompagnement, lueur d’une performance qui se démarque de sa définition intrinsèque.
Faire de la performance un atout
Authors: Viollet Patrick 
Published: November 2012

Résumé Quelle que soit l’approche de la performance, elle est indissociable de la notion de résultats. et aujourd’hui, dans le domaine professionnel, l’approche des résultats est de plus en plus dépendante de celle de la compétence. Si risque il y a, dans laquelle de ces trois faces de la même problématique réside-t-il ? Dans la trilogie performance, résultat et compétence, nous avons choisi d’entrer par la compétence ; et, pour garder la maîtrise de sa mesure et de son interprétation, de construire une grille pluriprofessionnelle permettant de l’analyser et de l’évaluer.
Le stigmate : une « seconde maladie » ?
Authors: Lacaze Lionel 
Published: November 2012

Résumé La lutte anti-stigmate dans le secteur des maladies mentales suppose la reconnaissance que le stigmate est une « seconde maladie », non vue et occultée. Elle a sa source dans les préjugés, les conceptions erronées à l’égard des troubles mentaux, les conséquences négatives des traitements et la qualité de vie péjorative des personnes qui en sont affectées. La notion de stigmate est analysée à travers ses diverses composantes, dans la perspective de soutenir cette lutte, considérée par l’ oms comme une cause fondamentale.
Est-il bon, est-il méchant? Le rôle du nombre dans le gouvernement de la cité néolibérale
Authors: Desrosières Alain 
Published: November 2012

Comment résoudre la contradiction entre l’ethos du statisticien et la prise en compte des rétroactions, même quand celles-ci lui apparaissent seulement comme de fâcheux obstacles à sa mission, qu’il pense être de « fournir des reflets non biaisés de la réalité » ? Il n’est pas possible d’isoler un moment de la mesure, qui serait indépendant de ses usages, et notamment des conventions qui sont la première étape de la quantification. Il faudrait désenclaver la formation des statisticiens, en la complétant par des éléments d’histoire, de sciences politiques, et de sociologie de la statistique, de l’économétrie, des probabilités, de la comptabilité et de la gestion. Ce programme, inspiré des acquis des sciences studies (Pestre, 2006), pourrait faciliter la prise en compte des outils quantitatifs dans les débats sociaux, sans verser ni dans le rejet a priori, ni dans le respect inconditionnel et naïf devant des « faits incontestables parce que quantifiés ».
Specialized, Ecclesial Ideography: The &lt;New Evangelization&gt; in the Catholic Church
Authors: BENNETT-CARPENTER BENJAMIN R. , MCCALLION MICHAEL J. 
Published: November 2012

ABSTRACTThis article suggests that analysis of ideographs is useful within specialized contexts. The authors analyze the emergence of the &lt;new evangelization&gt; as an ideograph in the Roman Catholic Church at international, national, and local levels – metropolitan Detroit in particular. With its remarkable plasticity and power, &lt;new evangelization&gt; rhetoric has come to galvanize the leadership of the Catholic Church even as varying or conflicting ideas are advanced under that rhetoric. The &lt;new evangelization&gt; operates as a specialized ideograph that remains primarily internal to the Catholic Church but has implications beyond it. The authors suggest a continued and extensive application for analyzing ideographs in culture.
Examination of the Skills and Dispositions Needed for Assistant Principals to Be Effective Disciplinarians: Having the “Right Stuff” as Assistant Principal
Authors: WILLIAMS SHERIE 
Published: November 2012

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to identify a set of skills and dispositions needed for secondary school assistant principals to function as effective disciplinarians. Two methods of data collection are utilized: the Delphi Method using experts, and two focus groups using current male and female practitioners.
Based on the results of this study, the skills and dispositions most needed by assistant principals to be successful disciplinarians include fairness and consistency, as well as the ability to foster relationships and build a positive school climate. The practitioners specifically expressed frustration with unique issues related to the disciplinary process for students with special needs. They also expressed frustration concerning teachers' lack of knowledge and ability in classroom management, as well as the extraordinary amount of time they spend each day dealing with disciplinary issues.
Conjugated Polymer Amplified Far‐Red/Near‐Infrared Fluorescence from Nanoparticles with Aggregation‐Induced Emission Characteristics for Targeted In Vivo Imaging

Published: November 2012

AbstractFluorescence‐amplified far‐red/near‐infrared (FR/NIR) nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by co‐encapsulation of conjugated polymer donor (poly[9,9‐bis(2‐(2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)fluorenyldivinylene]; PFV) and a fluorogen acceptor (2‐(2,6‐bis((E)‐4‐(phenyl(4′‐(1,2,2‐triphenylvinyl)‐[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4‐yl)amino)styryl)‐4H‐pyran‐4‐ylidene)malononitrile; TPE‐TPA‐DCM) with aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) characteristics using biocompatible bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the encapsulation matrix. The good spectral overlap and close proximity between PFV and TPE‐TPA‐DCM in BSA NPs result in a 5.3‐fold amplified TPE‐TPA‐DCM emission signal via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The obtained PFV/TPE‐TPA‐DCM co‐loaded BSA NPs are spherical in shape with a large Stokes shift of ∼223 nm and low cytotoxicity. The BSA matrix allows further functionalization with arginine‐glycine‐aspartic acid (RGD) peptide to yield fluorescent probes for specific recognition of integrin receptor‐overexpressed cancer cells. The advantage of PFV amplified FR/NIR signal from TPE‐TPA‐DCM is further demonstrated in cellular and in vivo imaging using HT‐29 colon cancer cells and a murine hepatoma H22 tumor‐bearing mouse model, respectively. The high FR/NIR fluorescence and specific cancer targeting ability by RGD surface functionalization make the PFV/TPE‐TPA‐DCM co‐loaded BSA‐RGD NPs a unique FR/NIR fluorescent probe for cellular imaging and in vivo tumor diagnosis in a high contrast and selective manner.
Optically Traceable Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Loaded with siRNA and Paclitaxel for Synergistic Chemotherapy with In situ Imaging

Published: November 2012

AbstractHere, we report quantum dot‐incorporating solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for anticancer theranostics with synergistic therapeutic effects of paclitaxel‐siRNA combination. The natural components of a low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) are reconstituted to produce LDL‐mimetic SLNs having a stable core/shell nanostructure incorporating quantum dots and paclitaxel within the lipid shell while anionic siRNA molecules are electrostatically complexed with the outer surface of SLNs. The produced SLN/siRNA complexes efficiently deliver both of paclitaxel and Bcl‐2 targeted siRNA into human lung carcinoma cells and exhibit synergistic anticancer activities by triggering caspase‐mediated apoptosis as determined by median effect plot analysis. Moreover, the strong fluorescence from quantum dots within SLNs enables in situ visualization of intracellular translocation of SLNs into cancer cells. Our study suggests that LDL‐mimetic SLNs can be utilized as a multifunctional and optically traceable nanocarrier for efficient anticancer theranostics.

Published: November 2012

AbstractKBG syndrome is a rare disease characterized by typical facial dysmorphism, macrodontia of upper central incisors, skeletal abnormalities, and developmental delay. Recently, mutations in ANKRD11 gene have been identified in a subset of patients with KBG syndrome, while a contiguous gene deletion syndrome involving 16q24.3 region (including ANKRD11) was delineated in patients with facial dysmorphism, autism, intellectual disability, and brain abnormalities. Although numerous evidences point to a central causative role of ANKRD11 in the neurologic features of these patients, their neurocognitive and behavior phenotypes are still poorly characterized. Herein, we report the complete neurological and psychiatric features observed in two patients with KBG syndrome due to ANKRD11 mutations. Both patients show intellectual disabilities, severe impairment in communication skills, deficits in several aspects of executive functions and working memory and anxious traits. Their features are compared with those of previously reported patients with KBG syndrome aiding in the delineation of neurocognitive phenotype associated to ANKRD11 mutations. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Ontogeny of a Social Custom in Wild Chimpanzees: Age Changes in Grooming Hand‐Clasp at Mahale
Authors: NAKAMURA MICHIO , NISHIDA TOSHISADA 
Published: November 2012

Among cultural behaviors of chimpanzees, the developmental processes of complex skills involved in tool use are relatively well known. However, few studies have examined the ontogeny of social customs that do not require complex skills. Thus, in this study, we describe the developmental process of the grooming hand‐clasp (GHC), one of the well‐known social customs of chimpanzees at Mahale. We have collected 383 cases of GHC where at least one of the participants was 15 years old or younger during 1994–2007. First performances of GHC with the mother were observed at around 4–6 years old; the earliest observed age was 4 years and 4 months old. The first performances of GHC with nonrelated females were at around age 9 years, and those with adult males at around 11 years. However, some orphans engaged in GHC earlier than nonorphans. By gradually expanding GHC partners from the mother to other females and then to males, chimpanzees increased the number of GHC partners with age. Young males were observed to perform GHC with larger numbers of partners than were young females. GHC by young chimpanzees was shorter in duration than that among adults. Overall, the ontogeny of GHC showed several dissimilarities with that of tool use and was more an extension of the development of typical grooming behavior. For example, infants did not try to perform GHC initially; instead, mothers were more active in the earliest stages. These results suggest that not all socially learned cultural behaviors are acquired in the way of learning tool use. There may be various ways of learning behavioral patterns that are performed continuously in a group and that consequently comprise culture in chimpanzees. Am. J.

The ranging behavior of Lemur catta in the region of Cap Sainte‐Marie, Madagascar
Authors: Kelley Elizabeth A. 
Published: November 2012

AbstractLarge home ranges and extreme flexibility in ranging behaviors characterize most subarid dwelling haplorhines. However, the most comparable extant strepsirhine, Lemur catta, is characterized as having small home ranges with consistent boundaries. Since ranging studies on this species have been limited to gallery forest habitat, the author's goal is to identify ecological factors that affect range use of L. catta in one of the most resource‐limited environments of its distribution. To conduct this study, ranging and behavioral data were collected on two nonoverlapping groups through all‐day follows in the semidesert scrub environment of Cap Sainte‐Marie (CSM), Madagascar. Data were collected from August 2007 through July 2008. Home range areas and day range lengths were generated using ArcGIS® 9.3. Other variables measured were habitat composition, diet richness, daily activity, and microclimate. Home range areas of CSM L. catta were very large relative to those of gallery forest L. catta, and there was great monthly variation. In contrast, day range lengths at CSM were either smaller than or approximated the size of comparative gallery forest groups. Temperature, sunning, and diet richness were associated with day range length for one but not for both groups and appear to be related to energy management needs. Based on these findings, the author suggests that L. catta is capable of extensive behavioral and ranging flexibility in the extremes of its environment. However, physiological constraints impose limitations that can interfere with its ability to adapt to even seemingly minor variations in microclimate and habitat structure within the same site.

Baboon phylogeny as inferred from complete mitochondrial genomes
Authors: Zinner Dietmar , Wertheimer Jenny , Liedigk Rasmus , Groeneveld Linn F. , Roos Christian 
Published: November 2012

AbstractBaboons (genus Papio) are an interesting phylogeographical primate model for the evolution of savanna species during the Pleistocene. Earlier studies, based on partial mitochondrial sequence information, revealed seven major haplogroups indicating multiple para‐ and polyphylies among the six baboon species. The most basal splits among baboon lineages remained unresolved and the credibility intervals for divergence time estimates were rather large. Assuming that genetic variation within the two studied mitochondrial loci so far was insufficient to infer the apparently rapid early radiation of baboons we used complete mitochondrial sequence information of ten specimens, representing all major baboon lineages, to reconstruct a baboon phylogeny and to re‐estimate divergence times. Our data confirmed the earlier tree topology including the para‐ and polyphyletic relationships of most baboon species; divergence time estimates are slightly younger and credibility intervals narrowed substantially, thus making the estimates more precise. However, the most basal relationships could not be resolved and it remains open whether (1) the most southern population of baboons diverged first or (2) a major split occurred between southern and northern clades. Our study shows that complete mitochondrial genome sequences are more effective to reconstruct robust phylogenies and to narrow down estimated divergence time intervals than only short portions of the mitochondrial genome, although there are also limitations in resolving phylogenetic relationships.

The lack of female dominance in golden‐brown mouse lemurs suggests alternative routes in lemur social evolution
Authors: Eichmueller Pia , Thorén Sandra , Radespiel Ute 
Published: November 2012

AbstractFemale dominance is a well‐known trait of lemurs, although it has not been reported from all species and is still often unexplored, especially in the nocturnal species. We examined the intersexual dominance relationships in Microcebus ravelobensis, a congener of M. murinus who is well known for its female dominance. Given the many similarities in biology, it was predicted that M. ravelobensis should also possess female dominance. Seventeen unfamiliar male–female pairs were formed with animals captured in northwestern Madagascar and kept in a two‐cage setting (one cage for each animal) for up to 1 week. Four encounter experiments were conducted with each pair. In contrast to the expectations, females were not consistently dominant over their male partners. Only 3 of 17 dyads developed a clear agonistic asymmetry, among which were two cases of male dominance and only one case of female dominance. Because body mass differences did not explain the findings, various other possible explanations are discussed. It is suggested that food may not be the driving factor of female dominance in mouse lemurs. Instead, it is hypothesized that species‐specific differences in the quality of sleeping sites (i.e., tree holes) and in social grouping patterns may better explain why some mouse lemur species have female dominance, whereas others like the golden‐brown mouse lemur do not. It is concluded thatthese arguments and hypotheses may even hold true for other solitary foragers and may thereby lead to a better understanding of the variable social evolution in lemurs and primates in general.
