Méthodologie de modélisation systémique
Authors: Filion Louis Jacques 
Published: January 2012

Résumé	Ce texte propose une méthodologie de recherche sur les représentations qui permette d’établir des paramètres et des modèles pour mieux comprendre et préparer à la pratique entrepreneuriale. La méthodologie de modélisation systémique (MMS) proposée suggère une démarche de recherche qualitative qui peut être appliquée à trois niveaux : 1. Histoires de vie. Description et analyse. 2. Activités humaines et organisationnelles : liens et hiérarchies. Description et analyse. 3. Pensée conceptuelle : élaboration de modèles et identification de concepts qui facilitent la conception et la réalisation d’activités humaines. La méthodologie proposée utilise de façon empirique la méthode des systèmes souples développée par Peter Checkland. Cette méthode comprend l’analyse du monde réel qui entoure un acteur organisationnel ainsi que celle de son monde subjectif. Une comparaison entre ces deux mondes est ensuite réalisée. La méthodologie proposée permet d’identifier soit des paramètres, soit des modèles, soit des métamodèles pour faciliter l’éducation de même que la formation de futurs praticiens. Dans ce texte, l’accent est mis sur des acteurs entrepreneuriaux.
Ce que « analyse de données qualitatives » veut dire
Authors: Voynnet Fourboul Catherine 
Published: January 2012

Résumé En France la recherche qualitative est associée historiquement à l’analyse de contenu. Cette technique rassemble des approches très hétéroclites absorbant des stratégies d’analyse pas toujours très explicites et parfois confuses. L’analyse de données qualitatives issue des conceptions anglo-saxonnes, a fait son apparition en France. Elle se distingue fortement des méthodes orthodoxes employées jusque là. La différence majeure tient dans l’objectif de construction théorique, le cadre fondateur de la « grounded theory ». Les chercheurs établissent une catégorisation des concepts issus des retranscriptions du terrain ; sur cette base, ils peuvent adopter des stratégies mixant découverte en profondeur des catégories par intégration des propriétés avec par exemple la quantification, la qualification des liens entre concepts. Il reste que le travail d’analyse et de construction théorique est un processus d’innovation fortement internalisé, qui se démarque en cela de l’analyse de contenu à la française.
Allouer une hyper attention aux occasions d'affaire
Authors: Majdouline Ilias 
Published: January 2012

Résumé La recherche en entrepreneuriat s’est centrée depuis le début des années 1990 sur une approche processuelle (Hernandez, 1999, Fayolle, 2004, Schmitt, 2006). L’identification ou la construction d’occasion d’affaire est souvent représentée comme première étape du processus entrepreneurial (Gartner, 1985 ; Vesper, 1990 ; Filion, 1996 ; Schmitt, 2005). L’attention du petit entrepreneur est allouée en permanence et en totalité à l’identification d’occasion d’affaire (Majdouline & Schmitt, 2009). Cette caractéristique réorganise en permanence ses représentations dans une dynamique continue. Selon Fayolle (2004), il est nécessaire de décrire et d’expliquer les situations entrepreneuriales dans « leurs dimensions statique et dynamique. Dans ce travail, nous nous intéressons à cette dynamique chez le petit entrepreneur à travers une approche qualitative sur deux cas d’entrepreneurs marocains.
Représentations et questions de méthodes dans une perspective intersubjective
Authors: Lévy-Tadjine Thierry , Paturel Robert 
Published: January 2012

Résumé Vouloir mettre la représentation au cœur de l’objet des sciences de gestion (et de l’entrepreneuriat en particulier) ne manque pas de questionner le chercheur lui-même sur son rapport épistémologique et méthodologiqueà l’objet de recherche. De multiples questions émergent aussitôt : acteurs observés et chercheurs ont-ils une représentation commune du phénomène que les uns produisent et que les autres analysent ? Le cas-échéant, comment s’opère au niveau desreprésentations, l’interaction entre chercheurs et acteurs du terrain ? Enfin, si l’on admet que la communauté de chercheurs d’un mêmechamp parvient à construire et partager des représentations communes, comment valide-t-elle celles-ci ? Ces trois questions structurent l’article, la dernière permettant aux auteurs de proposer un outil original de validation des représentationsscientifiques basé sur le concept d’Argument Transcendantal.

Le paradoxe de l'État d'investissement social : pourquoi la pauvreté n'a-t-elle pas baissé ?
Authors: Cantillon Bea , Van Lancker Wim 
Published: January 2012

Résumé La prospérité des pays riches occidentaux a connu un bel essor ces dernières décennies. Le nombre d’habitants exerçant un emploi dans ces pays a augmenté ; la part des dépenses consacrées à la sécurité sociale, aux soins de santé, à l’enseignement et l’intérêt public s’est maintenue à un niveau élevé, tandis que la lutte contre la pauvreté, pour l’égalité des chances et l’inclusion sociale a fait l’objet d’une attention soutenue sur le plan politique. Et pourtant, en dépit de tout cela, la plupart des pays n’ont pas réussi à mettre l’ensemble de ces moyens, à première vue favorables, au service de la réduction des inégalités et de la pauvreté. Ce constat nous conduit à nous poser la question suivante : pourquoi les riches États-providence n’ont-ils pas profité des circonstances favorables du tournant du siècle pour avancer dans la lutte contre la pauvreté ? Dans cet article, nous identifions un certain nombre de tendances structurelles expliquant en partie la persistance de la pauvreté dans l’Union européenne. Premièrement, la croissance du nombre d’emplois a surtout profité aux ménages qui travaillaient déjà et dans une moindre mesure aux ménages sans emploi, qui sont les plus fragilisés. Deuxièmement, il y a eu une érosion marquée de la protection sociale des ménages avec des personnes en âge de travailler mais sans emploi au cours de la période analysée. Troisièmement, les moyens alloués aux « nouveaux risques sociaux » ont tendance, plus que les revenus de remplacement traditionnels, à affluer vers des catégories de revenus supérieures. L’analyse ne doit pas être lue comme une critique unilatérale à l’égard des politiques d’activation et d’investissement. Elle pose simplement l’hypothèse selon laquelle ces politiques ont entraîné une diminution de la capacité redistributive des ressources investies dans des dépenses sociales.
The “Forgotten” Income Component? The inequality effect of including the value of public services in the income concept
Authors: Verbist Gerlinde 
Published: January 2012

Résumé	Les analyses distributives se concentrent principalement sur l’inégalité des revenus disponibles en espèces. Cependant, les avantages que les ménages dérivent des services publics doivent être pris en compte. Dans cet article, nous nous concentrons sur les effets distributifs des deux principales catégories de services publics en Belgique, notamment l’éducation et les soins de santé. Nous traitons des questions conceptuelles et méthodologiques liées à l’inclusion de la valeur des services publics dans le concept de revenu . En utilisant les données de l’EU-SILC, nous trouvons qu’inclure les avantages en nature pour l’éducation et les soins de santé dans le concept de revenu conduit à une baisse considérable de l’inégalité des revenus en Belgique.
Granting wishes beyond medical care
Authors: Wijeratne Nishardi Tharu 
Published: January 2012

Quality end of life care requires more than Intensive Care Units and life support machines. Sometimes, we need to spare a little love and understanding for our patients. If we take the time to ask our patients what they most wish during their last days or at least allow them the opportunity to tell us of these dying needs beforehand, end of life care would be more satisfactory for our patients and perhaps for ourselves.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4038/sljcc.v2i1.1549 Sri Lanka Journal of Critical Care Vol.2(1) 2011 33-34

Authors: Alroosan Motassim , Alroosan Afaf 
Published: January 2012

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo describe the treatment of head and neck cancer pain in KHMC and to evaluate the predictive factors for inadequate management between April 2007 and March 2010.SubjectsTwenty-five patients with head and neck cancer.Main measuresPatients rated prevalence and severity of pain and functional impairment related to pain. Doctors reported patients’ cancer characteristic, performance status, pain severity, and analgesic drugs ordered.Results57% (14/25) of patients with cancer reported pain due to their disease, and, of those with pain, 69% (9/13) rated their worst pain at a level that impaired their ability to function. 30% (5/12) were reported as receiving no drugs for their pain. Of the 18 patients in pain for whom information on treatment was available 51% (41/18) were not receiving adequate pain reliefs, according to an index based on the World Health Organization's guidelines. Doctors were found to underestimate the severity of their patients’ pain. Younger patients, patients without metastasis disease, patients with a better performance status, and patients who rated their pain as more severe than their doctors did were at greater risk for under treatment of their pain.ConclusionIn the light of the high prevalence and the severity of pain among patients with head and neck cancer, the assessment and treatment of cancer pain was inadequate, emphasizing the need for changes in patient care.

Authors: Agrawal Arti , Singh Hitendra Prakash , Kumar Dharmendra 
Published: January 2012

ABSTRACTIn the era of antibiotics, deep neck abscess is a rare complication of acute mastoiditis. Bezold's abscess, the most common cause of the otogenic deep neck abscess in preantibiotic era, is a rare complication of mastoiditis nowadays and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck abscesses as well as unexplained intracranial/extracranial or upper thoracic abscesses. We report a case of 20-year old female with an abscess over anterior chest wall as a sequele of bezold's abscess which was a complication of cholesteatoma with mastoiditis.

Published: January 2012

ABSTRACTObjectiveIntracranial metastases from primary laryngeal carcinoma are extremely rare and to present as diminution of vision has not been reported in published English literature. We present a case of advanced laryngeal carcinoma, who after treatment with surgery and chemo radiation, presented with decreased vision and weakness of lower limbs secondary to brain metastases.Case reportA 35-year-old male presented with dysphonia and L upper neck swelling. Endoscopy revealed a left supraglottic mass with fixed vocal cord and pathology of primary site and neck swelling reported it as moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Clinical and radiological assessment staged the tumor as T3N2bM0. Patient underwent combined standard surgical and medical treatment. Eight months after completion of treatment patient presented as decreased visual acuity (R > L) and gradually progressing weakness of lower limbs. Evidence of papilloedema on fundus exam prompted an urgent CT brain which showed multiple metastatic deposits in brain. There was no evidence of metastases in lungs, bones or liver.ConclusionBrain metastases are a known entity in Head and Neck cancer. Larynx as a primary site for the same should be kept in consideration with an atypical presentation as in present case.
An Unusual Presentation of Nasal Polyp Arising from Floor of Nasal Cavity
Authors: Naik Mahendra S , Naik Sulabha M 
Published: January 2012

ABSTRACTIntroductionNasal polyps are pedunculated, edematous, prolapsed mucosa of the paranasal sinuses. These polyps commonly arise around the ostia of the paranasal sinuses in the middle meatus.DiscussionThe commonest sites of polyp formation are the ethmoid sinuses and maxillary sinus. Rarely polyps may also arise from the other paranasal sinuses. Sites in the nasal mucosa other than the paranasal sinuses are very rare, though polyps arising from the septum have also been reported.The etiology of nasal polyposis is believed to be due to an inflammatory reaction of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa.ConclusionIn addition to the theory of altered airway dynamics in the middle meatus, there also appears to be a link between polyp formation and preceding chronic inflammation. This is the most likely explanation for the origin of polyps in unusual sites.We present here a case of a nasal polyp arising from the floor of the nasal cavity. There are no previous records or reports in literature of this unusual site of origin of a nasal polyp.

Published: January 2012

ABSTRACTThe authors want to highlight the importance of clinical, radiological and histopathological evaluation in unilateral proptosis. A 17-yearold male presented with left progressive nonpulsatile proptosis, lateral gaze diplopia and decreased visual acuity. It was diagnosed as orbital hydatid cyst on CT scan and MRI. The patient was successfully operated with near total recovery of the vision. Radiological investigation showed a circumscribed cystic lesion lateral to orbit separate from the lacrimal gland. Intraoperative cysts and postoperative histopathology confirmed the primary orbital hydatid cyst.Although rare there is always a possibility of a primary hydatid in patients with unilateral proptosis, restricted eye movements and lateral decreased visual acuity. This is possible even when the Casoni's test is negative. Surgical excision with postoperative albendazole is the effective treatment for the cure of disease.

Published: January 2012

This action research project aims to understand whether teachers are mastering the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct classroom action research through two courses, Classroom Action Research (CAR) and Enhancing Teaching Professional Skills (PKP: Pemantapan Kemampuan Profesional), offered via distance education to Indonesian teachers and to identify areas for possible improvement of both courses. The research was conducted in two urban study centers located in the cities of Bogor and Tangerang in the Indonesian provinces of West Java and Banten. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, questionnaires, and focus group discussions. All data were analyzed for patterns that might offer insight into the problems tutors and teacher-learners were facing as they worked through the Classroom Action Research (PTK: Penelitian Tindakan Kelas) module and tutorial. The research team from Indonesia Open University (UT: Universitas Terbuka) identified several problematic aspects of each course, including excessive lag time between the first and second courses, insufficient examples of model classroom action research projects, a lack of supervised practice of action research techniques, variability of tutorial quality, and a mismatch between course assessments and the content and purpose of the courses. While the findings of this study focus primarily on two distance courses offered by UT, they offer insight into the challenges of providing in-service teacher development via distance education in the Indonesian context.

Teaching for active learning is an instructional strategy that has been promoted for some time in Indonesia through various government educational reform initiatives and international development efforts. These efforts, however, have tended to target teachers in public primary schools (SD: sekolah dasar) or public junior high schools (SMP: sekolah menengah pertama) rather than equivalent schools in the Islamic education sector (madrasah ibtidâ’iyah and madrasah tsanawiyah). Utilizing data gathered from focus group discussions, individual interviews, and classroom discussions, this action research study examined the specific challenges faced by Islamic Studies teachers in teaching for active learning in two public Islamic primary schools (MIN: madrasah ibtidâ’iyah negeri) in the district of Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. Our article goes on to describe the difficulties Islamic Studies teachers have in applying active learning teaching strategies learned in demonstrations of teaching for active learning in science, mathematics and other secular subjects to Islamic Studies.

Teaching for active learning has been widely recognized as a more effective teaching methodology than traditional transmission models of teaching. However, numerous studies have documented the persistence of traditional teaching methods despite the extensive research literature on the effectiveness of teaching for active learning and frequent efforts to train teachers to use this approach in their classrooms. In this article a team of lecturers from the University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa (UNTIRTA: Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa) in Indonesia report on an action research project carried out at an elementary-level madrasah in the city of Cilegon. Members of the team gathered qualitative data through interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations in order to better understand the challenges teachers faced in teaching for active learning before designing and carrying out a collaborative intervention designed to help teachers use active learning strategies in a mathematics classroom.

Capture of Fluorescence Decay Times by Flow Cytometry
Authors: Houston Jessica P. , Naivar Mark A. , Jenkins Patrick , Freyer James P. 
Published: January 2012

AbstractIn flow cytometry, the fluorescence decay time of an excitable species has been largely underutilized and is not likely found as a standard parameter on any imaging cytometer, sorting, or analyzing system. Most cytometers lack fluorescence lifetime hardware mainly owing to two central issues. Foremost, research and development with lifetime techniques has lacked proper exploitation of modern laser systems, data acquisition boards, and signal processing techniques. Secondly, a lack of enthusiasm for fluorescence lifetime applications in cells and with bead‐based assays has persisted among the greater cytometry community. In this unit, new approaches that address these issues and demonstrate the simplicity of digitally acquiring fluorescence relaxation rates in flow cytometry are described. This unit provides protocols and a Commentary section describing a most comprehensive discourse on acquiring the fluorescence lifetime with frequency‐domain methods. This unit covers (1) standard fluorescence lifetime acquisition (protocol‐based) with frequency‐modulated laser excitation, (2) digital frequency‐domain cytometry analyses, and (3) interfacing fluorescence lifetime measurements onto sorting systems. This unit also discusses how digital methods are used for aliasing to harness higher frequency ranges. Also, a final discussion is provided on heterodyning and processing of waveforms for multi‐exponential decay extraction. Curr. Protoc. Cytom. 59:1.25.1‐1.25.21. © 2012 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
