La recherche en monde pilarisé

Focused on both Catholic planned parenthood and institutions for children “in danger”, this article addresses the effects of the study of sexuality management by Catholic institutions. It highlights the institutional assimilation of researchers to a laic position. The particular structure of Belgium, which is based on a divided society that leads to the creation of “pillars”, requires reflection on the way we access our fieldwork since we don’t belong to the same “pillar”. When working on sexuality and religion, one also needs to question the consequences of such a labelling. How can we bypass institutional labelling and what does it reveal on Belgian (de)pillarization? The analysis will be based on interviews that were lead during the first year of our doctoral research.L’objectif de cet article est d’interroger les effets de l’assimilation institutionnelle de chercheur.e.s à une position philosophique laïque dans une recherche qui traite de la gestion de la sexualité par des institutions catholiques – à savoir les plannings familiaux et les institutions de protection de la jeunesse. La structure particulière de la Belgique, reposant sur une société divisée entraînant la création de « piliers » évoluant dans un même milieu, nécessite un retour réflexif sur l’accès au terrain et les conséquences sur la recherche lorsqu’il s’agit de lier étude de la religion et de la sexualité. Comment contourner/dépasser cet étiquetage institutionnel dans la recherche et que nous révèle-t-il sur la logique de (dé)pilarisation en Belgique ? L’analyse suivante repose sur les situations d’entretiens (exploratoires et qualitatifs) que nous avons vécues au cours de la première année de recherche doctorale

Patients' preferences for fracture risk communication: the Risk Communication in Osteoporosis (RICO) study.

peer reviewed[en] UNLABELLED: The RICO study indicated that most patients would like to receive information regarding their fracture risk but that only a small majority have actually received it. Patients globally preferred a visual presentation of fracture risk and were interested in an online tool showing the risk. PURPOSE: The aim of the Risk Communication in Osteoporosis (RICO) study was to assess patients' preferences regarding fracture risk communication. METHODS: To assess patients' preferences for fracture risk communication, structured interviews with women with osteoporosis or who were at risk for fracture were conducted in 11 sites around the world, namely in Argentina, Belgium, Canada at Hamilton and with participants from the Osteoporosis Canada Canadian Osteoporosis Patient Network (COPN), Japan, Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, the UK, and the USA in California and Washington state. The interviews used to collect data were designed on the basis of a systematic review and a qualitative pilot study involving 26 participants at risk of fracture. RESULTS: A total of 332 women (mean age 67.5 ± 8.0 years, 48% with a history of fracture) were included in the study. Although the participants considered it important to receive information about their fracture risk (mean importance of 6.2 ± 1.4 on a 7-point Likert scale), only 56% (i.e. 185/332) had already received such information. Globally, participants preferred a visual presentation with a traffic-light type of coloured graph of their FRAX® fracture risk probability, compared to a verbal or written presentation. Almost all participants considered it important to discuss their fracture risk and the consequences of fractures with their healthcare professionals in addition to receiving information in a printed format or access to an online website showing their fracture risk. CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant communication gap between healthcare professionals and patients when discussing osteoporosis fracture risk. The RICO study provides insight into preferred approaches to rectify this communication gap

Du couvent au foyer. Les institutions de protection de l’enfance et de la jeunesse au prisme de la (dé)pilarisation et de la laïcisation (1830-1980)

Cet article examine, sur 150 ans, le processus historique que connaît le secteur de la protection de l'enfance puis de l'aide à la jeunesse, à l'aune de la pilarisation et de la dépilarisation. Il démontre que dans le champ de la protection de l'enfance (et donc des politiques de "rééducation"), le concept de (dé)pilarisation n'est pas aussi opératoire que dans le domaine de l'histoire de l'enseignement. Longtemps, ce système marqué par des placements contraints laisse en effet peu de place au respect des options philosophiques des familles, tandis que les congrégations religieuses (catholiques) occupent une position de quasi-monopole, présentes dans de nombreuses institutions, même publiques. Les évolutions que connaît le secteur durant la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, sont dès lors surtout caractéristiques d'une laïcisation, en ce qu'il est marqué par un retrait progressif de la religion dans ce champ institutionnel précis , après y avoir joué, durant plus d'un siècle, un rôle prépondérant

Workflow assessing the effect of gait alterations on stresses in the medial tibial cartilage - combined musculoskeletal modelling and finite element analysis

Abstract Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is most common in the medial tibial compartment. We present a novel method to study the effect of gait modifications and lateral wedge insoles (LWIs) on the stresses in the medial tibial cartilage by combining musculoskeletal (MS) modelling with finite element (FE) analysis. Subject’s gait was recorded in a gait laboratory, walking normally, with 5° and 10° LWIs, toes inward (‘Toe in’), and toes outward (‘Toe out wide’). A full lower extremity MRI and a detailed knee MRI were taken. Bones and most soft tissues were segmented from images, and the generic bone architecture of the MS model was morphed into the segmented bones. The output forces from the MS model were then used as an input in the FE model of the subject’s knee. During stance, LWIs failed to reduce medial peak pressures apart from Insole 10° during the second peak. Toe in reduced peak pressures by −11% during the first peak but increased them by 12% during the second. Toe out wide reduced peak pressures by −15% during the first and increased them by 7% during the second. The results show that the work flow can assess the effect of interventions on an individual level. In the future, this method can be applied to patients with KOA
