Appreciation (including gratitude) and affective well-being: appreciation predicts positive and negative affect above the Big Five personality factors and demographics
No full textThis study investigated the relation between appreciation and positive and negative affect, controlling for gender, age, ethnicity, and Big Five personality factors. Appreciation consists of several aspects, including a focus on what one has (“have” focus), awe, gratitude, and interpersonal appreciation. Undergraduates (N = 236) completed an online survey containing the Appreciation Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), and Big Five Inventory (BFI). The Big Five traits accounted for 38% and 43% of the variance in positive and negative affect, respectively, beyond demographics. Appreciation accounted for 9% (p < .001) and 4.6% (p < .05) of the variance in positive and negative affect, respectively, beyond demographics and the Big Five. The “have” focus aspect of appreciation, which represents noticing, focusing on, and valuing what one has, accounted for significant unique variance in both positive and negative affect. Gratitude did not. Future research is needed to determine how broadly these results generalize.Peer reviewe
Nancy Spero : L'image parlée = Nancy Spero : The Spoken Image
No full textIn her analysis of Spero’s work from the 1950s to the beginning of the 21st century, Déry suggests the artist is a representative of the first generation of feminist artists. The author also outlines the exhibition theme of the “spoken image,” and draws attention to how Spero’s socially engaged practice has transformed contemporary art. Emphasis is placed on the following aspects of the artist’s work: compositional structure, figurative vocabulary, and relationships between text/image. Includes a brief text by N. Jolicœur on Spero’s installation “The First Language.” Brief artist’s statements (in English only). Other texts in French and English. Bio-bibliography 9 p
La prison en procès. Les mutins de Nancy (1972)
No full textPrisons on Trial. The Mutineers of Nancy (1972), Philippe Artières.
In the wake of the post-1968 struggles, common law prisoners started mobilizing as of 1971. The Nancy mutiny in January 1972 was repressed, but it brought about mobilization inside and outside French prisons. The author analyzes this from the records of the Prison Information Group (GIP) but also from those of the press and various investigations. The GIP, in which famous intellectuals actively participated, had a big role in showing prison reality clearly in what was the first big prison trial.La prison en procès. Les mutins de Nancy (1972), Philippe Artières.
Dans le sillage des luttes de l'après-68, des prisonniers de droit commun se mobilisèrent à partir de 1971. La mutinerie de Nancy en janvier 1972 fut réprimée mais suscita une mobilisation à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des prisons françaises. L'auteur l'analyse notamment à partir des archives du Groupe d'information sur les prisons (GIP), mais aussi de la presse et de diverses enquêtes. Le GIP, où militaient aussi des intellectuels de renom, prit ainsi une part importante dans la mise à jour de la réalité carcérale, à l'occasion de ce qui fut le premier grand procès de la prison.Artières Philippe.

Médicaments pour hospices et prisons en 1805 à Nancy
No full textNancy medicines for hospices and prisons in 1805.
The chemist François Mandel, past author of Pharmacopée de Nancy, writes a list of medicines for civil hospices and a formulary for prisons. To take care of these adult, poor sick, drugs and medicines are chosen simple, at little expense, but adequate to treat everyday diseases. The prison formulary holds many novel preparations. The two manuscripts have never been published.Médicaments pour hospices et prisons en 1805 à Nancy.
François Mandel, pharmacien déjà auteur de la Pharmacopée de Nancy, rédige un catalogue de médicaments pour les hospices civils et un formulaire pour les prisons. Pour soigner les malades de ces établissements, adultes et pauvres, les composants et les préparations sont simples, sans luxe, mais assez variés pour traiter les maladies courantes. Le formulaire des prisons contient de nombreuses formules originales. Les deux ouvrages, manuscrits, n'ont jamais été publiés.Guyot Bénédicte, Martin Jean.

In Würdigung der « École supérieure de Pharmacie » von Strasbourg, hat die « École de Pharmacie » von Nancy, deren Erbin sie war, ab 1914, eine Sammlung von Porträts der früheren Professoren beider Städte zusammengestellt. Porträts verschiedener früherer Strassburger sind immer noch in der Fakultät ausgestellt : die von I.-L. Oberlin, E.-T. Jacquemin, C.-F. Schlagdenhauffen, C.-E. Schmitt und G.-M. Bleicher. Der Verfasser schildert die Tätigkeit dieser Professoren in Nancy und reproduziert drei Karikaturen in denen sie erscheinen.The gallery of portraits in the Faculty of Pharmacy in Nancy : Strasburg professors in Nancy.
In homage to the Graduate School of Pharmacy in Strasburg, the School of Pharmacy of Nancy, who became its heir, instituted, beginning in 1914, a collection of portraits of former professors from these two cities. The portraits of several former Strasburgians are still exhibited in the Faculty at this time : those of I.-L. Oberlin, E.- T. Jacquemin, C.-F. Schlagdenhauffen, C.-E. Schmitt and G.-M. Bleicher. The author reviews the activities of these professors in Nancy and reproduces three caricatures in which they are shown.Labrude Pierre.

Listening to Jean-Luc Nancy
No full textEste trabajo se centra en algunos aspectos de la filosofía de Jean-Luc Nancy. Nuestro autor
hace tambalear los cimientos de pensamientos asentados por la inercia de la tradición, se
despoja de las vestiduras y va por libre de otras voces y libre de sí mismo. Su pensamiento
descarna los sellos que han dejado marcas y relieves en la cultura de Occidente, para así ser
solo pensamiento que penetra en lo aprendido. Se posiciona fuera del ensimismamiento
del pensar condicionado, para inaugurar nuevas formas de afrontar el momento actual de
la filosofía.This work focuses on some aspects of Jean-Luc Nancy’s philosophy. Our author shakes the
foundations of thoughts which have been settled by the inertia of tradition, he takes away
his vestments and goes freely from other voices and from himself. His thought removes the
flesh from the seals that have left marks and prominences in Western culture, to become
just a thought which penetrates what has been learnt. He stands out of the absorption of
conditioned thought and opens new ways of achieving current philosophy

No full textWeight reduction and bone loss in postmenopausal women: follow up at 2 years
No full textShort-term weight loss (WL) is accompanied by bone loss in postmenopausal women, but the longer-term impact is unclear. The goal of this study was to determine whether weight regain compared to maintenance of WL in reduced obese/overweight women has an impact on bone mineral density (BMD) and content (BMC). It was hypothesized that weight regain in reduced obese women would result in partial recovery of bone, as compared to women who maintain their lost weight. We measured hip, spine, forearm, and total body BMD and BMC by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Hormones, markers of bone turnover, and soft tissue were assessed. We recruited postmenopausal women (n=40, BMI of 28.2 +/- 2.9 kg/m2; 60.6 +/- 5.6 years) 1.5 years after a 6 month weight loss program who were categorized as regaining (>75%) or maintaining their weight lost. After 6 mo of WL, both groups lost -9.1 +/- 3.1% body weight with no significant difference between groups. At 23 +/- 6 mo after baseline, the weight-loss maintainers (WL-M, n=22) and weight-loss re-gainers (WL-R, n=18) lost -10.4 +/- 4.3 % and -2.6 +/- 3.6 % of their body weight. Participants averaged 1228 +/- 529 mg/d during the follow-up period, which did not differ significantly between the groups. The WL-M group showed greater BMD loss at the trochanter (p0.422, p<0.01), but not trunk fat, suggesting that regional fat tissue may have a differential influence on bone. These data in postmenopausal women show that bone continues to decline at the trochanter and femoral neck over a 2 year period with 10% weight loss, and with weight regain there is partial recovery of bone.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 42-49)by Nancy L. von Thu
Geography best explains global patterns of genetic diversity and postglacial co‐expansion in marine turtles
No full textFor many species, climate oscillations drove cycles of population contraction during cool glacial periods followed by expansion during interglacials. Some groups, however, show evidence of uniform and synchronous expansion, while others display differences in the timing and extent of demographic change. We compared demographic histories inferred from genetic data across marine turtle species to identify responses to postglacial warming shared across taxa and to examine drivers of past demographic change at the global scale. Using coalescent simulations and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), we estimated demographic parameters, including the likelihood of past population expansion, from a mitochondrial data set encompassing 23 previously identified lineages from all seven marine turtle species. For lineages with a high posterior probability of expansion, we conducted a hierarchical ABC analysis to estimate the proportion of lineages expanding synchronously and the timing of synchronous expansion. We used Bayesian model averaging to identify variables associated with expansion and genetic diversity. Approximately 60% of extant marine turtle lineages showed evidence of expansion, with the rest mainly exhibiting patterns of genetic diversity most consistent with population stability. For lineages showing expansion, there was a strong signal of synchronous expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum. Expansion and genetic diversity were best explained by ocean basin and the degree of endemism for a given lineage. Geographic differences in sensitivity to climate change have implications for prioritizing conservation actions in marine turtles as well as for identifying areas of past demographic stability and potential resilience to future climate change for broadly distributed taxa.Full Tex
