Donne-moi ta dopamine – ta libido
Authors: Braunstein Néstor A. 
Published: March 2013

Une « neurophilosophie » dont les représentants les plus notoires, Searle, Damasio et Dennett, s’évertuent à remettre à jour les thèses classiques sur la conscience en tant qu’effet résultant de l’activité cérébrale, est en vogue aujourd’hui. Voilà qu’on s’appuie maintenant sur des techniques digitalisées, « objectives », qui recherchent les modifications physiques et chimiques dans les noyaux sous-corticaux. On discutera ici des présupposés théoriques à la lumière de ce qu’ils prétendent surpasser sans avoir même réussi à le comprendre : a) c’est la vie sociale qui détermine la conscience et non pas l’inverse (Marx) et b) les décharges des neurotransmetteurs qui les fascinent tant sont activées par la relation du sujet à l’autre dans le transfert et supposent l’Autre incomplet de lalangue (Freud et Lacan).

Published: March 2013

ContextCold-water immersion is the criterion standard for treatment of exertional heat illness. Cryotherapy and water immersion also have been explored as ergogenic or recovery aids. The kinetics of inflammatory markers, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), during cold-water immersion have not been characterized.ObjectiveTo characterize serum IL-6 responses to water immersion at 2 temperatures and, therefore, to initiate further research into the multidimensional benefits of immersion and the evidence-based selection of specific, optimal immersion conditions by athletic trainers.DesignControlled laboratory study.SettingHuman performance laboratoryPatients or Other ParticipantsEight college-aged men (age = 22 ± 3 years, height = 1.76 ± 0.08 m, mass = 77.14 ± 9.77 kg, body fat = 10% ± 3%, and maximal oxygen consumption = 50.48 ± 4.75 mL·kg−1·min−1).Main Outcome MeasuresParticipants were assigned randomly to receive either cold (11.70°C ± 2.02°C, n = 4) or warm (23.50°C ± 1.00°C, n = 4) water-bath conditions after exercise in the heat (temperature = 37°C, relative humidity = 52%) for 90 minutes or until volitional cessation.ResultsWhole-body cooling rates were greater in the cold water-bath condition for the first 6 minutes of water immersion, but during the 90-minute, postexercise recovery, participants in the warm and cold water-bath conditions experienced similar overall whole-body cooling. Heart rate responses were similar for both groups. Participants in the cold water-bath condition experienced an overall slight increase (30.54% ± 77.37%) in IL-6 concentration, and participants in the warm water-bath condition experienced an overall decrease (−69.76% ± 15.23%).ConclusionsWe have provided seed evidence that cold-water immersion is related to subtle IL-6 increases from postexercise values and that warmer water-bath temperatures might dampen this increase. Further research will elucidate any anti-inflammatory benefit associated with water-immersion treatment and possible multidimensional uses of cooling therapies.
Fatigue-Induced Alterations of Static and Dynamic Postural Control in Athletes With a History of Ankle Sprain
Authors: Steib Simon , Zech Astrid , Hentschke Christian , Pfeifer Klaus 
Published: March 2013

Context:Sensorimotor control is impaired after ankle injury and in fatigued conditions. However, little is known about fatigue-induced alterations of postural control in athletes who have experienced an ankle sprain in the past.Objective:To investigate the effect of fatiguing exercise on static and dynamic balance abilities in athletes who have successfully returned to preinjury levels of sport activity after an ankle sprain.Design:Cohort study.Setting:University sport science research laboratory.Patients or Other Participants:30 active athletes, 14 with a previous severe ankle sprain (return to sport activity 6–36 months before study entry; no residual symptoms or subjective instability) and 16 uninjured controls.Intervention(s):Fatiguing treadmill running in 2 experimental sessions to assess dependent measures.Main Outcome Measure(s):Center-of-pressure sway velocity in single-legged stance and time to stabilization (TTS) after a unilateral jump-landing task (session 1) and maximum reach distance in the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) (session 2) were assessed before and immediately after a fatiguing treadmill exercise. A 2-factorial linear mixed model was specified for each of the main outcomes, and effect sizes (ESs) were calculated as Cohen d.Results:In the unfatigued condition, between-groups differences existed only for the anterior-posterior TTS (P = .05, ES = 0.39). Group-by-fatigue interactions were found for mean SEBT (P = .03, ES = 0.43) and anterior-posterior TTS (P = .02, ES = 0.48). Prefatigue versus postfatigue SEBT and TTS differences were greater in previously injured athletes, whereas static sway velocity increased similarly in both groups.Conclusions:Fatiguing running significantly affected static and dynamic postural control in participants with a history of ankle sprain. Fatigue-induced alterations of dynamic postural control were greater in athletes with a previous ankle sprain. Thus, even after successful return to competition, ongoing deficits in sensorimotor control may contribute to the enhanced ankle reinjury risk.
Topical Menthol, Ice, Peripheral Blood Flow, and Perceived Discomfort
Authors: Topp Robert , Ledford Elizabeth R. , Jacks Dean E. 
Published: March 2013

ContextInjury management commonly includes decreasing arterial blood flow to the affected site in an attempt to reduce microvascular blood flow and edema and limit the induction of inflammation. Applied separately, ice and menthol gel decrease arterial blood flow, but the combined effects of ice and menthol gel on arterial blood flow are unknown.ObjectivesTo compare radial artery blood flow, arterial diameter, and perceived discomfort before and after the application of 1 of 4 treatment conditions.DesignExperimental crossover design.SettingClinical laboratory.Participants or Other ParticipantsTen healthy men, 9 healthy women (mean age = 25.68 years, mean height = 1.73 m, mean weight = 76.73 kg).Intervention(s)Four treatment conditions were randomly applied for 20 minutes to the right forearm of participants on 4 different days separated by at least 24 hours: (1) 3.5 mL menthol gel, (2) 0.5 kg of crushed ice, (3) 3.5 mL of menthol gel and 0.5 kg of crushed ice, or (4) no treatment (control).Main Outcome Measure(s)Using high-resolution ultrasound, we measured right radial artery diameter (cm) and blood flow (mL/min) every 5 minutes for 20 minutes after the treatment was applied. Discomfort with the treatment was documented using a 1-to-10 intensity scale.ResultsRadial artery blood flow decreased (P &lt; .05) from baseline in the ice (−20% to −24%), menthol (−17% to −24%), and ice and menthol (−36% to −39%) treatments but not in the control (3% to 9%) at 5, 10, and 15 minutes. At 20 minutes after baseline, only the ice (−27%) and combined ice and menthol (−38%) treatments exhibited reductions in blood flow (P &lt; .05). Discomfort was less with menthol than with the ice treatment at 5, 10, and 20 minutes after application (P &lt; .05). Arterial diameter and heart rate did not change.ConclusionsThe application of 3.5 mL of menthol was similar to the application of 0.5 kg of crushed ice in reducing peripheral blood flood. Combining crushed ice with menthol appeared to have an additive effect on reducing blood flow.

Published: March 2013

Context:Quadriceps dysfunction is a common consequence of knee joint injury and disease, yet its causes remain elusive.Objective:To determine the effects of pain on quadriceps strength and activation and to learn if simultaneous pain and knee joint effusion affect the magnitude of quadriceps dysfunction.Design:Crossover study.Setting:University research laboratory.Patients or Other Participants:Fourteen (8 men, 6 women; age = 23.6 ± 4.8 years, height = 170.3 ± 9.16 cm, mass = 72.9 ± 11.84 kg) healthy volunteers.Intervention(s):All participants were tested under 4 randomized conditions: normal knee, effused knee, painful knee, and effused and painful knee.Main Outcome Measure(s):Quadriceps strength (Nm/kg) and activation (central activation ratio) were assessed after each condition was induced.Results:Quadriceps strength and activation were highest under the normal knee condition and differed from the 3 experimental knee conditions (P &lt; .05). No differences were noted among the 3 experimental knee conditions for either variable (P &gt; .05).Conclusions:Both pain and effusion led to quadriceps dysfunction, but the interaction of the 2 stimuli did not increase the magnitude of the strength or activation deficits. Therefore, pain and effusion can be considered equally potent in eliciting quadriceps inhibition. Given that pain and effusion accompany numerous knee conditions, the prevalence of quadriceps dysfunction is likely high.
Measuring Activity and Participation Outcomes for Children and Youth with Acquired Brain Injury: An Occupational Therapy Perspective
Authors: Dunford Carolyn , Bannigan Katrina , Wales Lorna 
Published: March 2013

Introduction: Intervention outcomes for children and youth with acquired brain injuries should be measured in terms of participation in activities. The aim of this study was to explore the occupational therapy outcome measures used with this group. Method: One cycle of an action research study, which focused specifically on occupational therapists, is reported. Ten occupational therapists working with children and youth with acquired brain injuries collated the outcome measures they used and mapped their frequently used measures onto the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health — Children and Youth, using established linking rules. Findings: Forty-two outcome measures and assessments were identified. Of these, 19 were used frequently and 15 were used as outcome measures. All activity and participation domains were represented, with learning and applying knowledge, mobility, communication and self-care (except looking after one's health) particularly well covered. Conclusion: Occupational therapists are using measures that reflect the domains of activity and participation, unlike those previously identified which were linked predominantly to body functions. The importance of occupational therapists working in rehabilitation teams is reiterated in that some of the domains that are not covered by occupational therapists impact on participation, for example, pain.
Teaching Participation in Occupations to First Year Occupational Therapy Students: An Action Research Study
Authors: Ghul Rayya , Marsh Ian 
Published: March 2013

Introduction: This article describes the development of a first year occupational therapy module, ‘Participation in Occupations’, and the design and development of a mediating tool, Contexts of Participation: the Critical Thinking Tool, in a British university. Method: Using an action research process, the module content, learning and teaching strategy and new conceptual tools were designed to promote an enhanced understanding of the central importance of occupation to occupational therapy and, in particular, the role of participation in occupations in forming and reforming an individual within unique contextual situations. The inclusion of theory from disability studies and the use of a transformative approach to higher education were also investigated. Findings and discussion: The study spans 16 cohorts of students and reflects on the findings, which include increased client-centredness and greater appreciation of the complex nature of participation and its role in health and wellbeing.
On the Value of Make-Believe
Authors: Silcox Mark 
Published: March 2013

Abstract
The practice of make-believe has traditionally been viewed as valuable by psychologists and philosophers more or less exclusively as a mechanism for social initiation, a tool for everyday problem solving, or a method for children to learn about adult responsibilities. This instrumentalist approach has influenced the development of a wide variety of approaches to the pedagogical use of make-believe, from classroom experiments in play therapy to the influential "New Games" movement. This article examines the alternative hypothesis that games of make-believe should be conceived of as ends in themselves. It is suggested that a general explanation of the inherent value of imaginative play would provide support for Kendall Walton’s claim that to describe any artwork as representational is just to treat it as a prop in some game of make-believe. Also discussed are attempts made by Ron Edwards and Bernard Suits to provide general accounts of the value of make-believe. Their work hints at the existence of some surprising connections between this issue and certain broader and more fundamental philosophical concerns about the human good.
Adaptation to Robust Monolayer Expansion Produces Human Pluripotent Stem Cells With Improved Viability

Published: March 2013

Abstract
The generation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) of sufficient quantity and quality remains a major challenge for biomedical application. Here we present an efficient feeder-free, high-density monolayer system in which hPSCs become SSEA-3-high and gradually more viable than their feeder-dependent counterparts without changes attributed to culture adaptation. As a consequence, monolayer hPSCs possess advantages over their counterparts in embryoid body development, teratoma formation, freezing as a single-cell suspension, and colony-forming efficiency. Importantly, this monolayer culture system is reversible, preserving the competence of hPSCs to gradually reacquire features of colony growth, if necessary. Therefore, the monolayer culture system is highly suitable for long-term, large-scale propagation of hPSCs, which is necessary in drug development and pluripotent stem cell-based therapies.
International Psychology
Authors: Stevens Michael J. , Zeinoun Pia 
Published: March 2013

AbstractInternational psychology is a branch of psychology whose definition defies categorical classification, such as by area of interest (e.g., clinical psychology) or by methodology (e.g., research methods). International psychology not only has manifold dimensions, as reflected in its mission and scope, but also is dynamic given its co‐variation with the history of the discipline and its relevance to a constantly changing world.

AbstractFoster + Partners' design for the National Bank of Kuwait Headquarters is for an environmentally responsive building and a complex geometry. Dusanka Popovska, a design system analyst in the Specialist Modelling Group (SMG) at Fosters, explains how the group was introduced at an early stage in the bank's design process to develop a parametric model that was capable of integrating various performance parameters while continuing to investigate geometrical solutions.
Spatial Computing for the New Organic
Authors: Derix Christian , Izaki Åsmund 
Published: March 2013

AbstractIn the last few years, parametric design has predominated in architectural research and practice. Christian Derix and Åsmund Izaki of the Computational Design and Research (CDR) group at Aedas|R&D explain how the research and design unit, based at Aedas in London, has pursued an alternative course by shifting the focus to behavioural and perceptive occupant simulation of spatial configurations. A human‐centric approach, it draws its inspiration from earlier British pioneers in spatial computation, as well as the designers of the Organic Architecture movement of the early 20th century.

AbstractThe Karamba plug‐in developed by Clemens Preisinger in collaboration with Bollinger + Grohmann Engineers has been developed to predict the behaviour of structures under external loads. Intended to be used by architects rather than being solely confined to an engineering setting, it enables a seamless flow of data between structural and geometric models. Preisinger here describes the program's evolution and application.
Design Ecosystems: Customising the Architectural Design Environment with Software Plug‐ins
Authors: Davis Daniel , Peters Brady 
Published: March 2013

AbstractAs a preface to this section dedicated to the rise of plug‐ins, Daniel Davis and Guest‐Editor Brady Peters describe the shift in architectural culture that has seen the adoption of scripting interfaces ‐ once the preserve of CAD specialists ‐ spread to designers using code to create geometry and find form. They explain how this defines an entirely new landscape in which ‘cathedrals’ (monolithic applications) are challenged by ‘bazaars’ (generative‐modelling editors) populated by animal‐named plug‐ins, where architects become the formulators rather than just the end users of programs.
Molten‐Salt‐Assisted Self‐Assembly (MASA)‐Synthesis of Mesoporous Metal Titanate‐Titania, Metal Sulfide‐Titania, and Metal Selenide‐Titania Thin Films
Authors: Karakaya Cüneyt , Türker Yurdanur , Dag Ömer 
Published: March 2013

AbstractNew synthetic strategies are needed for the assembly of porous metal titanates and metal chalcogenite‐titania thin films for various energy applications. Here, a new synthetic approach is introduced in which two solvents and two surfactants are used. Both surfactants are necessary to accommodate the desired amount of salt species in the hydrophilic domains of the mesophase. The process is called a molten‐salt‐assisted self‐assembly (MASA) because the salt species are in the molten phase and act as a solvent to assemble the ingredients into a mesostructure and they react with titania to form mesoporous metal titanates during the annealing step. The mesoporous metal titanate (meso‐Zn2TiO4 and meso‐CdTiO3) thin films are reacted under H2S or H2Se gas at room temperature to yield high quality transparent mesoporous metal chalcogenides. The H2Se reaction produces rutile and brookite titania phases together with nanocrystalline metal selenides and H2S reaction of meso‐CdTiO3 yields nanocrystalline anatase and CdS in the spatially confined pore walls. Two different metal salts (zinc nitrate hexahydrate and cadmium nitrate tetrahydrate) are tested to demonstrate the generality of the new assembly process. The meso‐TiO2‐CdSe film shows photoactivity under sunlight.
