    The Effect of Seat Pan Slope on Lumbar Posture of High School Students As Measured with Shapetape™

    No full text
    There has been a large amount of scientific study done on sitting posture and chair design. To the author\u27s knowledge, no research has been done on stools without a backrest and the relationship of seat pan tilt and sitting posture, with an attempt to directly measure lumbar curvature. In addition, this study used a new type of noninvasive technology applied directly to the subject to study the shape of the lumbar spine. The research conducted in this study addressed this research void by measuring the shape of the lumbar spine using the depth of curvature and spinal curvature inflection point as the dependent variables and the tilt of the seat pan as the independent variable. The results and recommendations of this pilot study can be used to justify a larger study to include more subjects and females as well as males

    Effect of Computer Keyboard Slope and Computer Workstation Dimensions on Wrist Extension Angle

    No full text
    The rapid advancement of technology has made computers today\u27s most common tool assisting office workers. In every aspect of jobs, it is obvious that workers have relied much on the use of computer. This circumstance, unfortunately, causes an increased risk of computer-related syndromes, both quantitative and qualitatively This study is interested in examining the aspect of wrist posture in flexion/extension plane and its relation to the wrist-related musculoskeletal disorders. MSDs at the wrist include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and tenosynovitis. To the author\u27s knowledge, the studies of wrist extension while typing have focused, thus far, on determining the effect of one single factor of keyboard or workstation settings on wrist posture while typing. Also lacking is the association of the wrist extension and the typing method used by VDT workers. Thus, this study will address the research voids of the joint effect of several typing factors, such as the keyboard slope, keyboard height, typing method, and the presence/absence of wrist rest, on wrist extension angle while typing. The means to achieve this goal are multiple regression models. Furthermore, the empirical models will be developed based on the typing postures of VDT workers in actual office situations rather than in the laboratory situation

    Les approximations de la situation déictique. Les transcréations d’Anne Hébert

    No full text
    Après avoir constaté que les déictiques (« je », « ici » et « maintenant ») sont incessamment déstabilisés dans la prose d’Anne Hébert, nous cherchons à lever le voile sur les stratégies mises en oeuvre par les réalisateurs qui ont transcréé Kamouraska (Jutra, 1973), Les fous de Bassan (Simoneau, 1987) et Le Torrent (Lavoie, 2012) pour rendre compte des confusions identitaires des personnages à l’écran. Nous nous penchons d’abord sur les phénomènes représentatifs de l’instabilité de la situation déictique dans les textes (sous-tendant les questions « je est-il un autre ? », « où est ici ? » et « maintenant, mais quand était-ce ? ») pour ensuite lister les opérations de montage et le travail de la bande-son des films ayant pour but de transcréer ces lacunes des personnages et narrateurs hébertiens à l’écran.After establishing that deictics (“I,” “here,” “now”) are constantly being destabilized in Anne Hébert’s prose, the present article will endeavour to lift the veil on the strategies used by the filmmakers who transcreated Kamouraska (Jutra, 1973), Les fous de Bassan (In the Shadow of the Wind, Simoneau, 1987) and Le Torrent (Lavoie, 2012) to express the screen characters’ confusion around their identity. First, the author examines the phenomena which are representative of the instability of the deictic situation in the texts (underlying the questions “Is I another?,” “where is here?” and “when was now?”) before listing the editing operations and the work on the films’ soundtracks whose goal is to transcreate these narrative and character lacunae on screen

    Characterization of New Small-Spored <i>Alternaria</i> Species Isolated from <i>Solanaceae</i> in Algeria

    Although large-spored Alternaria species of the section Porri are considered to be the major agents responsible for leaf spot and blight of Solanaceae, small-spored Alternaria species are also frequently isolated from symptomatic tissues. A survey of the north-western regions of Algeria during the 2017–2018 growing seasons revealed that amongst the 623 Alternaria isolates from tomato, potato, pepper, eggplant and black nightshade, 8% could not be morphologically assigned to either section Porri or section Alternaria. In order to more precisely determine the taxonomic position of these isolates, detailed morphological characterizations and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses were performed. Based on these analyses, the isolates were grouped into four main clades: section Ulocladioides, section Infectoriae, including two new species, section Embellisioides, and section Eureka, including one new species. These isolates were also characterized for their virulence under green-house conditions. They were able to produce leaf spot symptoms on tomato plants but with variable levels
