Attachment, couple communication and sexual coercion
Abstract : The use of subtle strategies to have sex with an unwilling partner is harmful to a coupleâs sexual well-being but these strategies remain understudied. This research examined the mediating role of communication patterns in the associations between attachment insecurities and sustained sexual coercion in 145 same- and cross-gender couples, and the moderating role of partnersâ gender. In addition to actor and partner effects, results revealed significant indirect effects from attachment insecurities to sexual coercion via communication patterns, with moderating effects of gender. Results may help practitioners and researchers understand the ways attachment insecurities and dysfunctional communication patterns can manifest in the experience of subtle forms of sexual coercion within couples
Regard sur la pratique ergothĂ©rapique en dĂ©ficience intellectuelle au QuĂ©bec : une enquĂȘte exploratoire
Introduction : Au QuĂ©bec, le dĂ©veloppement de la pratique de lâergothĂ©rapie en dĂ©ficience intellectuelle est en pleine Ă©mergence au regard du nombre dâergothĂ©rapeutes engagĂ©s dans lâoffre de services destinĂ©e Ă cette clientĂšle. NĂ©anmoins, les Ă©crits et les outils liĂ©s Ă lâergothĂ©rapie au QuĂ©bec dans ce domaine restent limitĂ©s pour soutenir les ergothĂ©rapeutes dans lâaccomplissement de leur plein potentiel professionnel.
Objectif : Cette Ă©tude vise Ă brosser le portrait de la pratique de lâergothĂ©rapie auprĂšs des personnes ayant une dĂ©ficience intellectuelle au QuĂ©bec.
MĂ©thode : LâenquĂȘte utilisant un questionnaire en ligne, diffusĂ© aux ergothĂ©rapeutes par le biais de leur association professionnelle, comprenait des questions liĂ©es aux motifs de rĂ©fĂ©rence en ergothĂ©rapie, aux stratĂ©gies dâĂ©valuation et aux mĂ©thodes dâintervention utilisĂ©es, ainsi quâaux dĂ©fis rencontrĂ©s dans la pratique.
RĂ©sultats : Un total de 53 ergothĂ©rapeutes a rempli le questionnaire. Les participants travaillent dans divers contextes de pratique et rĂ©pondent Ă une variĂ©tĂ© de demandes de consultation, principalement en lien avec le soutien Ă lâautonomie. Les ergothĂ©rapeutes utilisent plusieurs outils dâĂ©valuation, mais notent un dĂ©fi concernant la standardisation et lâutilisation des valeurs normatives. Les ergothĂ©rapeutes agissent majoritairement Ă titre de consultants et constatent un accĂšs limitĂ© Ă des formations pour soutenir leur dĂ©veloppement professionnel.
Conclusion : Bien que les rĂŽles de lâergothĂ©rapeute soient multiples, il semble quâune faible implication de ces professionnels soit observĂ©e dans plusieurs sphĂšres de vie des personnes ayant une dĂ©ficience intellectuelle. Divers champs dâexercices de lâergothĂ©rapie resteraient Ă dĂ©velopper au QuĂ©bec, notamment dans le soutien aux transitions de vie, auprĂšs des personnes prĂ©sentant des incapacitĂ©s significatives, et dans lâinclusion socioprofessionnelle.

Introduction: In Quebec, the occupational therapy practice in intellectual disability is in full development with regard to the number of occupational therapists involved in services intended for people with an intellectual disability. Nevertheless, scientific literature and professional tools related to occupational therapy specific to this context remains limited to support occupational therapist in achieving their full potential.
Aim: This study aims to explore the occupational therapy practice amongst people with an intellectual disability in Quebec.
Method: This survey using an online questionnaire, distributed to occupational therapists through their professional association, included closed and open-ended questions related to reasons for referral in occupational therapy services, currently used assessment strategies and intervention methods, as well as challenges encountered by occupational therapists.
Results: A total of 53 occupational therapists completed the survey. Participants work in many practice settings and respond to a variety of consultation requests, primarily related to support of autonomy in daily activities. Occupational therapists use several assessment tools, but identify a challenge regarding the standardization and the use of normative values. Occupational therapists mostly act as consultants and report limited access to training supporting their professional development. Conclusion: Although the roles of occupational therapist are multiple, a limited involvement of these professionals is noted in several life domains of people with an intellectual disability. Various fields of expertise still need to be developed in Quebec, notably in the support during life transitions, in interventions with people with significant disabilities, and in socioprofessional inclusion
BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model
Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks
based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these
capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by
resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step
towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a
176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a
collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer
language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising
hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total).
We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of
benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted
finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we
publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License
