Quality strategies: what are French universities looking for?
No full textUsing steps transposed from corporate quality strategies, French universities have entered a new stage of their modernization, illustrative of the current of New Public Management. These strategies, destined to combine missions of excellence and the transformation of thousands of young people into graduates, will be studied here with regard to different horizons which they suggest for French higher education. In change for the last 40 years, called into question over its costs, its production, and its management, university is at the crossroads of autonomy, clientelism and professionalisation. Our system of higher education must now combine savings, realignment, local governorship, partnerships and a geographical distribution of training opportunities, within the new European arena of degrees. However, it suffers from several handicaps (at once fiscal, legislative, administrative and social) aggravated by a specifically French fracture: how then can the quality strategies put in place, bring about the efficiency coveted by higher education ? This higher education system demonstrates several innovations and have begun to make surveys of the employability levels of its graduates. Thus, benchmarking is available on the condition that the criteria and indicators of the performance comparison are reached by consensus, and that's not the case: is it political arbitration (that rules over university as a public service) or market arbitration which determines the value of degrees? calibration and measurement could not be the same: who decides? which path opens to university to come out this dilemma?efficiency, French higher education, Lisbon strategy, NMP, quality, standards.
Alcohol, beer and cancer of the pancreas
No full textThe relationship between total alcohol consumption and intake of beer, wine and spirits and the risk of cancer of the pancreas was re-assessed in a pooled analysis of 3 case-control studies of pancreatic cancer from Italy, France and Switzerland, providing a total data-set of 494 cases and 1,704 controls. Logistic regression was used to obtain relative risks adjusted for study, age, sex, smoking and socio-economic status. Relative to non-drinkers, the risk estimates for subsequent levels of alcohol consumption were close to unity, and there was no evidence of a trend in risk with dose: the point estimate for more than 8 drinks per day was 0.8 (95% Confidence Interval, CI = 0.5-1.3). Likewise, no consistent association was observed for consumption of wine, beer or spirits: the relative risks for the highest consumption levels were 1.0 for wine, 0.9 for beer and 0.9 for spirits. No significant interaction was observed with study centre, sex or smoking habits. Given the large size of the data-set, of the consistency and the replication of findings across the 3 different studies, and of the elevated alcohol consumption of these populations, the present analysis gives reassuring evidence on the alcohol and pancreatic cancer issue in relation to total consumption of alcohol, of beer and of other alcoholic beverages
Lifestyle habits as prognostic factors in survival of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer: A multicentric European study
No full textLittle information is available on the role of tobacco, alcohol and diet in the survival of upper aero digestive cancers. Our study analysed the survival of 931 laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer patients, enrolled in a population based case-control study conducted at 5 centres in southeast Europe during 1979-1982. Age at the time of diagnosis and site of origin of tumour were observed to be predictors of the survival. Cigarette smoking, and to a limited extent alcohol drinking, before the diagnosis of tumour seem to influence the overall survival whereas high intakes of vegetables and vitamin C were observed to favourably affect the prognosis. For mortality from upper aerodigestive cancer protective effects of high intakes of vegetables, fibres and vitamin C were observed. Our results support the hypothesis that there is a role for dietary intervention to improve survival of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer patients. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc
Risk factors for the development of second primary tumors among men after laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma: A multicentric European study
No full textBACKGROUND. Second primary tumors (SPT) constitute a major threat to the survival of patients with laryngeal carcinoma. However, to the authors' knowledge little is known regarding the risk factors for developing SPTs or about the strategy to be followed to avoid them. METHODS. Eight hundred seventy-six male patients with laryngeal/hypopharyngeal carcinoma enrolled in a population-based, case-control study in 5 centers from South Europe during 1979-1982 were followed up to ascertain the occurrence of SPTs. Standardized incidence ratios were calculated to estimate the risk of SPT occurring in the cohort. Cox proportional hazard models were fitted to estimate the hazard ratio for development of SPTs in relation to use of tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, and dietary habits before the first primary tumor. RESULTS. One hundred forty-five patients developed an SPT with an annual average rate of 2.1%. An excess risk of developing an SPT of the tongue, mouth, esophagus, and lung was observed. No elevated risks of SPTs were observed in other organs. Alcohol consumption strongly increased the risk of developing an SPT of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). Heavy cumulative cigarette smoking increased the risk of developing a lung SPT. A protective effect of high intake of citrus fruit was noticed for SPT in the lung, whereas high butter intake was associated with an increased risk for SPT of the UADT. CONCLUSIONS. Continuous medical surveillance was essential in the UADT and lung to reduce the risk from an SPT after initial laryngeal/hypopahryngeal carcinoma. Alcohol consumption before the first primary tumor was a risk factor for SPT of the UADT. The study suggested a protective role of citrus fruits in the development of a lung SPT. © 2005 American Cancer Society
Cancer survivors in Switzerland : a rapidly growing population to care for
No full textCancer survivors are a heterogeneous group with complex health problems. Data concerning its total number and growing dynamics for Switzerland are scarce and outdated.; Population and mortality data were retrieved from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO). Incidence and relative survival for invasive cancers were computed using data from the cancer registries Geneva (1970-2009), St. Gallen - Appenzell (1980-2010), Grisons & Glarus (1989-2010), and Valais (1989-2010). We estimated prevalence for 1990-2010 using the Prevalence, Incidence Approach MODel (PIAMOD) method. We calculated trends in prevalence estimates by Joinpoint analysis. Projections were extrapolated using the above models and based on time trends of the period 2007-2010.; The estimated number of cancer survivors increased from 139'717 in 1990 (2.08% of the population) to 289'797 persons in 2010 (3.70%). The growth rate shows an exponential shape and was 3.3% per year in the period 2008 to 2010. Almost half of the survivors have a history of breast, prostate or colorectal cancer. Among cancer survivors, 55% are women but the increases have been more marked in men (p > 0.01, 3.9% annual increase in men vs. 2.7% in women since 2008). By the end of 2020 372'000 cancer survivors are expected to live in Switzerland.; There is a rapidly growing population of cancer survivors in Switzerland whose needs and concerns are largely unknown

Texto reescrito, texto esquecido: Philidor, uma pérola queirosiana
No full textTEXT RE‑WRITTEN AND FORGOTTEN: PHILIDOR, A QUEIROSIAN GEM
This study examines Eça de Queirós’s translation of the play Philidor (1863) written by the French author Joseph Bouchardy (1810‑1870). In particular, this study analyzes the circumstances that brought the author to translate this text and the conditions surrounding the circulation and staging of French plays in Portugal at that time. As such I examine Philidor in relation to the strong tradition of French plays translated into Portuguese and Eça’s own comments on the general situation of Portuguese theatre.</jats:p
