No full textAmongst patients taking biologic therapies for axial spondyloarthritis, which factors are associated with work non-participation?
No full textBackground: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) frequently presents during working age and therefore impacts work participation. Biologic therapies have demonstrated a positive impact on work-related outcomes in clinical trials but real world data are limited. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence and predictors of work impairment and disability among axSpA patients attending a biologic therapy clinic.Methods: This was a single-centre, cross-sectional study of patients with axSpA treated with biologic therapy. Work participation was assessed with the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire. Work outcomes (presenteeism, absenteeism, health-related job loss) were compared for gender, time since diagnosis, smoking status and disease outcome measures.Results: Data were available for 165 patients (mean age 47.6 years, 75% male, 21% current smokers). Mean time since diagnosis was 15.5 years and mean duration of biologic therapy 4.7 years; 19/165 (11.5%) were on a tapered-dose regimen. Occupational data were available for 144 patients amongst whom 101 (70.1%) were either currently employed or in full time education. Of those eligible to work, 17/118 (14.4%) reported inability to work due to their axSpA. Amongst those in employment, 10.8% reported absenteeism due to axSpA in the week prior to their clinic visit (mean hours missed = 13). The mean work productivity impairment was 23%. Higher disease activity (BASDAI) and markers of global health, quality of life and pain, (BAS-G, ASQoL and spinal pain VAS) were associated with axSpA related job loss, absenteeism and presenteeism.Conclusions: In this group of axSpA patients on biologic therapy (mean age 47.6 years), almost 1 in 6 (14.4%) reported axSpA related job loss. Poor work outcomes: axSpA-related work disability, absenteeism and presenteeism were associated with poorer scores for patient-reported disease outcome measures. Strategies for enhancing work productivity should be directed towards those patients at risk of poor work outcomes. More data are needed including details of the types of work that are most difficult with axSpA

John Wallis (1616–1703)
No full textSummary
Three centuries after its publication, John Wallis’ Grammatica Linguae An-glicanae (1653) is still worth the attention of the readers interested in the study of English. Considered within the context of its day, it appears as a significant contribution to the field, and indeed a work which constitutes a landmark in the history of the study of English. Its author, a remarkable mathematician looked upon as one of the most important precursors of Newton, succeeded in handling facts of the English language (both phonetics and grammar) better than any of his predecessors. His work, which illustrates the empirical approach, is important through the degree of independence attained in it from the Latin model which, at that time, still exerted a strong influence on attempts at describing the European vernaculars. In the advent of comparative linguistics in the 19th century Wallis’ grammar fell into disgrace. Even in our time scholars often repeat, with little justification, earlier criticisms of Grammatica Linguae Anglicanae – thus suggesting that Wallis’ contribution to the study of English has not always been examined in terms of the advances it represented when it was first published more than three centuries ago. When mapping out the development of linguistics in a historiography of our discipline there are two aspects in which Wallis’ grammar of English deserves special mention: when tracing the evolution of articulatory phonetics and when examining the roots of modern structural descriptivism.</jats:p
Des limites de l'insularité. Le cas de Wallis (Polynésie) (About the notion of insularity. The case of Wallis French Polynesia)
No full textAbstract. - The author shows the economic dependancy of the island of Wallis and the necessity of emigration. The continued growth of the wallisian population forbids return migrations, because home production is still too low. The author thinks that the main reason of this situation is the underdevelopment, and not the insularity.Résumé. - L'auteur montre le dépendance économique de l'île, et la nécessité de l'émigration (successivement vers les Nouvelles Hébrides et la Nouvelle Calédonie). La persistance de la croissance démographique dans l'île interdit le retour des émigrés, du fait de la faiblesse des ressources. Pour l'auteur le sous-développement compte plus dans cette situation que l'insularité.Saussol Alain. Des limites de l'insularité. Le cas de Wallis (Polynésie) (About the notion of insularity.

Mieczysław Wallis – a Historian of Art or a Philosopher?
No full textThe paper presents a scientific profile of Mieczysław Wallis in the perspective of the question of his intellectual status. The author looks for the answer within two areas that were the subject of Wallis’ interest: philosophy and history of art. She analyses the path of Wallis’ intellectual development and the formation of his creative interests: from his education (in Heidelberg and Warsaw) and inspirations, through his first intellectual concerns, to an analysis of his scientific output. In his youth, Wallis wrote about the desire to create a philosophical system. Did this aspiration determine his scientific work, and to what extent? Did it set the course of his intellectual path? Was Wallis’ profile dichotomous in nature? For, as a philosopher, Wallis asked himself a fundamental question about the phenomenon of human being and its relation to the world. As a historian of art, he sought the answer by analyzing the world of man’s creative activity, his aesthetic experiences and artistic creations. Thus, on the one hand, the author emphasizes the role of philosophy in the development of Wallis’ intellectual views; on the other hand, she points to the philosophical depth of his achievements in the field of art theory
John Wallis
No full textReading, writing, and doing mathematics in turbulent times, John Wallis (1616–1703) became the Savilian Professor of Geometry in unpromising circumstances, but held that position for longer than any other. Taking seriously the founder’s injunctions to study, edit, and publish the ancient mathematical texts, as well as to teach mathematics, he also enjoyed a long career as a robust and combative mathematical author. In this chapter we consider Wallis’s achievements as a reader, writer, and shaper of mathematics in the early modern world. In the long history of the Savilian professorships at Oxford, John Wallis’s tenure of the Geometry chair is unique
