Repérage et prise en charge des femmes victimes de violences : identification des besoins et actions menées dans la Manche
No full textPurpose: Our goals are to assess both public and general practitioner knowledge on the awareness and prevention channels implemented by the Manche Department - particularly through the local protocol fighting against domestic violence (DV) - and to identify possible areas of improvement, especially regarding screening. Methods: Prospective quantitative study conducted based on two questionnaires. One addressed to every woman admitted into the emergency services of three medical centers and the other to every GP in the Manche Department (191). Results: Out of 193 replies from women, only 37% know of a domestic violence victim reception center, 22% of awareness campaigns, of which only 8% consider them to be effective. 15% claim they have been questioned about possible DV in the emergency room. Out of 50 replies from GPs (26%), only 34% reckon they have a good understanding of DV victim care while 94% admit to having faced such situations in the past. 66% deem the systematic nature of screening not to be useful. Discussion: Women’s lack of knowledge about the victim’s care network, as demonstrated in our study, makes it necessary to support them through information and training of professionals. GPs are aware of their missions but still seem hardly invested: a taboo still hindering systematic screening implementation. Conclusion: Shaking up the established decorum is fundamental to make way for the implementation of systematic screening by GPs, in order to both improve DV victims’ care and develop measures of facilitated complaint filing.Introduction : nos objectifs sont d’évaluer les connaissances du public et des MG de la Manche sur les moyens de sensibilisation et de prévention mis en place par le département, via notamment le protocole départemental de lutte contre les VC et de déterminer des axes d’amélioration, en particulier du dépistage. Matériels et méthodes : étude quantitative prospective réalisée sur la base de 2 questionnaires, l’un adressé à toute femme consultant les urgences sur 3 centres hospitaliers manchois et l’autre, à l’ensemble des MG des cabinets de la Manche (191). Résultats : sur 193 réponses de femmes, seules 37% connaissent une structure d’accueil pour les victimes de violences, 22% des campagnes de sensibilisation dont 8% seulement les jugeant efficaces. 15% disent avoir été questionnées sur d'éventuelles VC aux urgences. Parmi les 50 réponses de MG (26%), seuls 34% estiment avoir une bonne maitrise de la prise en charge de victime alors qu’ils reconnaissent pour 94% avoir dû déjà gérer une telle situation. Le caractère systématique du dépistage n’est pas jugé utile pour 66%. Discussion : la méconnaissance des femmes des structures du parcours, avéré lors de notre étude, rend nécessaire leur prise en charge via des mesures d’informations et des formations pluri-professionnelles. Les MG connaissent leurs missions mais semblent encore peu investis : un tabou entravant encore la mise en place du questionnement systématique. Conclusion : il est essentiel de bousculer les convenances actuelles pour permettre une mise en place d’un dépistage systématique chez les MG pour mieux prendre en charge les VC et aussi développer les mesures de dépôt de plainte facilité
Les pertuis de l'Aude minervoise
No full textThe water-gaps of the river Aude near Minerve (Aude, France). This analysis of some peculiarities of the river Aude valley in Languedoc is mainly devoted to its defile through the Bassanel anticline. Through evidences from five successive alluvial terraces and the existence of some depressions explained by wind-erosion, the author demonstrates that it was during the final Riss period that the Aude flew through the Bassanel gap which had been previously cut by the Ognon and he explains that the diversion was more facilitated by the previous wind-erosion period than by any neotectonic change of the regional structural geology.The water-gaps of the river Aude near Minerve (Aude, France).

Paul et virginie: paratextos e textos em traduções brasileiras nos séculos XX e XXI
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.A presente tese tem como objetivo principal uma proposta de retradução comentada do romance Paut et Virginie do escritor francês Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. Como objetivo secundário, propõe-se uma análise das traduções brasileiras deste romance de 1906 à 2008 no sistema literário brasileiro sob o aspecto da "Visualização das Traduções" bem como um estudo dos paratextos traduzidos e não traduzidos. Tanto para a análise tradutória quanto para a retradução, são estudados trechos representativos a partir da teoria de Antoine Berman (1995), Gerard Genette (2010), Lawrence Venuti (1995). A análise dos excertos de narrativa poética baseia-se principalmente na teoria de Jean-Yves Tadié (1994).Abstract : The present work aims at proposing a commented retranslation on the novel Paul et Virginie, by the French author Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. As a secondary objective, we propose an analysis of the Brazilian translations of this novel from 1906 to 2008 into the Brazilian literary system under the perspective of "View of Translations" and a study of the translated and not translated paratexts. For both the translational analysis and the retranslation we used representative excerpts from the theoretical principles of Antoine Berman (1995), Gerard Genette (2010), and Lawrence Venuti (1995). The analysis of the excerpts of the poetic narrative is based mainly on Jean-Yves Tadié's theory
Long-Term Efficacy of <i>Serenoa repens</i> Treatment in Patients with Mild and Moderate Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
No full text<i>Introduction:</i> The study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of treatment with extract of <i>Serenoa repens</i> (Prostamol Uno) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) induced by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). <i>Patients and Methods:</i> We studied 120 patients with mild or moderate LUTS induced by BPH, maximal urinary flow (Q<sub>max</sub>) <15 ml with a voided volume ≧150 ml, prostate-specific antigen <4 ng/ml, and residual urinary volume <150 ml, treated daily for 24 months with one capsule of 320 mg ethanolic extract of <i>Serenoa repens</i>. <i>Results:</i> Statistically significant improvements in the International Prostate Symptom Score (5.5 points), quality of life (QoL; 1.8 points), Q<sub>max</sub> (5.6 ml/s), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF; 6.4 points) and reduction in residual urinary volume were observed during the study period. The mean prostate volume at 24 months was 36 ml, compared to 39.8 ml at baseline. <i>Conclusions:</i> Long-term treatment with 320 mg ethanolic extract of <i>Serenoa repens</i> proved to be efficient in reducing urinary obstruction, improving symptomatology and QoL of BPH patients. It also had a positive effect on sexual function, demonstrated by the statistically significant increase in the IIEF.</jats:p
Conceptualizing and Designing a Qualitative Study:Insights From a Doctoral Study on Youth Livelihoods in Botswana
No full textQualitative research used to be viewed as a confused and unthinkable research approach. This research approach is increasingly gaining recognition in many disciplines including those focused on the development notions of gender and empowerment in developing countries. This paper details how the author has conceptualized, designed and conducted a qualitative case study for the award of a doctoral degree in international development. The study sought to inform development interventions in Botswana with a better understanding of youth livelihoods from the perspective of youth as active social agents. It was focused on understanding the lived experiences and points of view of the research participants through eliciting diverse meanings they attach to their livelihood trajectories. The study was informed by a social constructionist epistemology, which emphasizes on understanding meanings people construct about themselves within their social contexts. In order to understand diverse meanings the participants attach to their livelihood trajectories the study adopted a life-course framework both as a conceptual and an analytical tool. Life-course approach to social research recognizes that people do not live their lives in isolation but they are embedded within dynamic historically situated socio-cultural contexts within which they construct meanings. The study was conceptualized from a qualitative case study research design and it triangulated different methods to collect data from which socially constructed meanings emerged. It mainly focused on personal narratives of young women aged 18-35 years who are engaged in street vending in Gaborone City. It was also conceptualized to position these young women within their real-life contexts of social interrelationships, and as such, it considered perspectives of other significant research participants. A thematic narrative approach was applied in analyzing data and presenting the research findings. Although the study did not give priority to any of the triangulated methods, the author’s main experience of going qualitative is that negotiating access and conducting in-depth life history interviews with people of the opposite sex in one’s own ‘community’ is challenging but enlightening. This paper provides other researchers with insights on how to conceptualize, design and conduct a qualitative study firmly grounded within their philosophical and methodological positions

"Midlife Crises": Understanding the Changing Nature of Relationships in Middle Age Canadian Families
No full textThis paper focuses on the transitions that mark middle age (e.g., the ‘empty nest’, caregiving) and are triggered by the occurrence of life events in families (e.g., adult children leaving home, care for aging parents). It is noted that home-leaving by adult children has been taking longer in recent years, and in many instances adult children return to their natal home after having left. Support for older parents is becoming a significant issue in Canada as a result of population aging. Of course, the experience of such life events as taking care of older parents varies according to individuals’ situations, and these can be quite varied. The paper therefore examines some of the diversity of mid-life families by describing patterns of separation and divorce, remarriage, same-sex relationships, and childlessness. It concludes with a discussion of the relationship between mid-life families and social policy.midlife, families, and intergenerational relationships
Environmental and public health perspectives
No full textPublisher Copyright: © 2024 The Author(s)Rice is a crucial food source and an important economic activity globally. Rice fields provide habitats for birds and other organisms but also serve as ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, including potential vectors such as Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles. There is an urgent need to manage mosquitoes associated with rice crops, as they are important pests and vectors of diverse pathogens. Effective management should rely on cost-effective, legislative, and environmentally sustainable approaches. We gathered information from various sources on surveillance, phenology, mosquito nuisance, vector-borne diseases and control measures in the main rice paddies of the five major rice-producing regions in Europe: Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, and France. Mosquito problems in rice paddies are prevalent across most analyzed regions, with entomological and virological surveillance efforts varying in intensity and timing. Aedes caspius mosquitoes significantly contribute to nuisance levels, while recent West Nile virus (WNV) circulation poses the most serious threat, as these habitats support high densities of mosquito vectors such as Culex pipiens, Culex modestus, and Culex perexiguus. Different mosquito control strategies are applied, ranging from centralized programs to localized interventions funded by public entities and implemented by public or private companies. Biological larviciding with Bacillus thuringiensis serovar. israelensis is the primary method used, supplemented by adulticiding during epidemic outbreaks in nearby urban areas. These management approaches reflect diverse regional contexts and highlight the importance of adaptive strategies in addressing mosquito-related challenges across rice paddies in Europe.publishersversionpublishe
Logical Imputation to Optimize Prognostic Risk Classification in Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer
No full textBACKGROUND: Application of the MSKCC and IMDC models is recommended for prognostication in metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC). Patient classification in MSKCC and IMDC risk groups in real-world observational studies is often hampered by missing data on required pre-treatment characteristics. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of application of easy-to-use logical, or deductive, imputation on MSKCC and IMDC risk classification in an observational study setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We used data on 713 mRCC patients with first-line sunitinib treatment from our observational European multi-centre study EuroTARGET. Pre-treatment characteristics and follow-up were derived from medical files. Hospital-specific cut-off values for laboratory measurements were requested. The effect of logical imputation of missing data and consensus versus hospital-specific cut-off values on patient classification and the subsequent models' predictive performance for progression-free and overall survival (OS) was evaluated. RESULTS: 45% of the patients had missing data for >= 1 pre-treatment characteristic for either model. Still, 72% of all patients could be unambiguously classified using logical imputation. Use of consensus instead of hospital-specific cut-offs led to a shift in risk group for 12% and 7% of patients for the MSKCC and IMDC model, respectively. Using logical imputation or other cut-offs did not influence the models' predictive performance. These were in line with previous reports (c-statistic similar to 0.64 for OS). CONCLUSIONS: Logical imputation leads to a substantial increase in the proportion of patients that can be correctly classified into poor and intermediate MSKCC and IMDC risk groups in observational studies and its use in the field should be advocated
