    Quelques considérations sur le handicap comme objet anthropologique situations cantonaises

    Monique Selim – La configuration chinoise, telle que je l’ai observée d’un point de vue anthropologique à Canton, pose de manière brutale à mes yeux la situation de tous les handicaps en terme de « tare ». Je dirais des personnes en situation de handicap, par ailleurs très bien désignées comme des « déficients » dans ce volume par Roger Salbreux et surtout Alain Blanc, que ce sont des « tarés ». Il apparaît en effet malaisé aux acteurs rencontrés lors de l’enquête, de faire une distinction ne..

    Construction of a nurse shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library and a preliminary genome survey

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND: Sharks are members of the taxonomic class Chondrichthyes, the oldest living jawed vertebrates. Genomic studies of this group, in comparison to representative species in other vertebrate taxa, will allow us to theorize about the fundamental genetic, developmental, and functional characteristics in the common ancestor of all jawed vertebrates. AIMS: In order to obtain mapping and sequencing data for comparative genomics, we constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for the nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum. RESULTS: The BAC library consists of 313,344 clones with an average insert size of 144 kb, covering ~4.5 × 10(10 )bp and thus providing an 11-fold coverage of the haploid genome. BAC end sequence analyses revealed, in addition to LINEs and SINEs commonly found in other animal and plant genomes, two new groups of nurse shark-specific repetitive elements, NSRE1 and NSRE2 that seem to be major components of the nurse shark genome. Screening the library with single-copy or multi-copy gene probes showed 6–28 primary positive clones per probe of which 50–90% were true positives, demonstrating that the BAC library is representative of the different regions of the nurse shark genome. Furthermore, some BAC clones contained multiple genes, making physical mapping feasible. CONCLUSION: We have constructed a deep-coverage, high-quality, large insert, and publicly available BAC library for a cartilaginous fish. It will be very useful to the scientific community interested in shark genomic structure, comparative genomics, and functional studies. We found two new groups of repetitive elements specific to the nurse shark genome, which may contribute to the architecture and evolution of the nurse shark genome

    The assessment of youth psychopathology in Trinidad and Tobago: A cross -cultural construct validity study of the Adjustment Scales for Children and Adolescents (ASCA)

    The purpose of this study was to assess the cross-cultural construct validity of the Adjustment Scale for Children and Adolescents (ASCA) using an ethnically diverse, nationally representative, sample of 478 elementary school students (aged 5–14 years) from Trinidad and Tobago. The ASCA, standardized nationally in the United States, is a 156 item teacher behavior rating scale designed to assess eight youth psychopathology syndromes: Attention-Deficit Hyperactive, Solitary Aggressive (provocative), Diffident, Oppositional Defiant, Avoidant, Solitary Aggressive (impulsive), Lethargic, and Delinquent. Exploratory principal component analyses yielded a five-component structure: Attention-Deficit Hyperactive, Impulsive-Aggressive, Diffident, Avoidant, and Oppositional Defiant syndromes. Second-order exploratory factor analyses supported a two-factor solution, which categorized first-order psychopathology syndromes into Overactivity and Underactivity dimensions. Traditional standards of construct validity were met for both first- and second-order constructs (i.e., criteria for internal reliability, specificity, interfactor correlations, psychological meaningfulness, etc.). More conservative validity criteria were applied to assess the invariance and generalizability of both structures to random and demographic subgroups. The invariance of first- and second-order structures to random subsamples was shown. Whereas limitations in the generalizability of three first-order components (Impulsive-Aggressive, Avoidant, and Oppositional Defiant) were found, the second-order structure was shown to be generalizable to all demographic subgroups. Confirmatory item clustering provided support for the integrity of the five-component first-order structure. Confirmatory factor analyses were applied as an additional check of model fit. Resultant goodness-of-fit statistics provided support for the second-order structure. Main effects were indicated for age and sex across the second-order factors, with males and younger students evidencing more behavioral problems. In addition, sex differences for the Impulsive-Aggressive and Oppositional Defiant syndromes were found, as were age differences for the Oppositional Defiant and Avoidant syndromes, and ethnic differences for the Impulsive-Aggressive and Oppositional Defiant syndromes. Implications are discussed

    Role of Parent Training in the Effective Management of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

    No full text
    Parent training can be an effective strategy for assisting children and their families to cope with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), particularly when it is used as part of a multimodal approach in combination with stimulant medication. The benefits of parent training include: cost effectiveness, particularly when applied in group formats; structured format, enabling the treatment to be applied in a relatively standardized manner across settings and providers; and its generally high degree of acceptability to families. Challenges to implementing parent training programs include: problems with adherence to treatment that may be related to parenting stress; inaccessibility of services; cultural differences between clinicians and families; and the limited financial resources of some families. This article reviews the literature on the effectiveness of parent training as a treatment for ADHD and presents potential benefits as well as barriers to effective interventions. For each barrier, proposed solutions are recommended. Two examples of comprehensive parent training programs used in the treatment of ADHD are provided.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Children, Patient education, Pharmacoeconomics
