    Mobile health (mHealth) technologies for Parkinson’s disease management have developed quickly in recent years. Research in this area typically focuses on evaluation of the accuracy and reliability of the technology, often to the exclusion of social factors and patient perspectives. This qualitative systematic review aimed to investigate the barriers to and facilitators of use mHealth technologies for disease self-management from the perspective of People with Parkinson's (PwP). Findings revealed that technological, as well as social, and financial factors are key considerations for mHealth design, to ensure its acceptability, and long-term use by PwP. This study proposes that a co-design approach could contribute to the design and development of mHealth that are socially acceptable to PwP, and enable their successful long-term use in the context of daily life.Mobile health (mHealth) technologies for Parkinson’s disease management have developed quickly in recent years.

    Étudier la dimension sensible des savoirs produits en contexte de travail

    Dans de nombreux contextes organisationnels, les travailleurs utilisent leurs corps et leurs sens pour se guider dans la conduite de leur activitĂ© quotidienne. Certaines Ă©tudes se concentrent sur les interactions sociales Ă  travers lesquelles des « connaissances sensibles » sont gĂ©nĂ©rĂ©es et mises en forme par les membres de l’organisation. Suite aux travaux entrepris dans le cadre de ces Ă©tudes, notre objectif dans cet article est d’analyser comment des « connaissances sensibles » sont interactionnellement constituĂ©es et « mises en forme » afin de soutenir la production de savoirs. Pour ce faire, nous avons rĂ©alisĂ© une ethnographie organisationnelle dans une compagnie d’arpenteurs-gĂ©omĂštres.In numerous organizational contexts, workers use their bodies and their senses to guide themselves, in the conduct of their everyday activity. Certain studies focus on social interactions through which « sensible knowledge » is generated and shaped by organizational members. Following the work initiated by these studies, our objective in this paper is to analyze and understand how « sensible knowledge » is interactionally constituted and formalized as a means to sustain knowing. To do so, we conducted an organizational ethnography in a firm of land surveyors

    L’ordinateur portable en soins Ă  domicile : l’espace interactionnel soignant/soignĂ© en mutation

    Nous prĂ©senterons ici une recherche menĂ©e auprĂšs de professionnels de la santĂ© utilisateurs d’un ordinateur portable en soins Ă  domicile. À partir d’extraits d’entrevues et en mobilisant la notion de « territoire », nous montrerons en quoi la prĂ©sence d’un ordinateur portable en soins Ă  domicile modifie l’environnement de travail du soignant et agit — d’une certaine maniĂšre — sur la relation soignant/soignĂ©. Qui plus est, l’ordinateur contribue Ă  transformer Ă  la fois la structure de l’action des soignants et leur environnement travail. Ainsi modifie-t-il les relations interindividuelles en agissant comme mĂ©diateur dans la mesure oĂč il s’interpose entre le soignant et le soignĂ©. Finalement, dans cette dynamique interactionnelle, se pose la question des rituels et du territoire d’interactions.We present here the results of a study among healthcare providers using PCs in home care settings. Based on a series of interviews, we apply the notion of “territoire” (ground) in order to show how the presence of the laptop computer in home care changes the work environment of the caregiver, influencing also in some way the relationship between the provider and the patient. The PC transforms the practice structure of caregivers and their work context. The computer changes therefore the relations between individuals, acting as a mediator between the caregiver and the patient, reminding us that this new interaction dynamic questions the rituals and the ground of interaction

    L’ « Homo-Urgentus » dans les organisations : entre expression et confrontation de logiques d’urgence

    Les organisations contemporaines valorisent l’action et l’urgence. Par consĂ©quent, la maĂźtrise et le contrĂŽle du temps deviennent des enjeux fondamentaux de survie pour les organisations, contraintes Ă  s’adapter Ă  ce nouveau rythme socio-culturel. De nouveaux modes de gestion s’appuyant sur les TIC permettent aux employĂ©s d’ĂȘtre Ă  la fois plus autonomes et plus contrĂŽlĂ©s. Une forme de « taylorisme Ă  distance » s’installe. Cependant, les individus ne rĂ©agissent pas tous de la mĂȘme façon Ă  la flexibilitĂ© du temps, Ă  la pression du temps. En effet, certains individus entrent dans le jeu de la « chrono-compĂ©tition » alors que d’autres tentent de rĂ©sister aux sollicitations multiples et Ă  la pression du temps.Contemporary organisations develops the action and the urgency. Consequently, the control of time become an important stake for organisations who wants to survive, in the goal of maintain their adaptation to this new socio-cultural rhythm. New forms of management being based on the ICT make it possible to the employees at the same time more autonomous and to be controlled. Today, a form of « distance Taylorism » exists. However, the employees react differently to the flexibility and pressure of time. Indeed, some peoples play the game of the « time-based competition », but others try to resist the pressure of time

    Rapport prĂ©parĂ© pour le SecrĂ©tariat National du Consortium National de Formation en SantĂ© (CNFS), Association des collĂšges et universitĂ©s de la francophonie canadienne.Cette recension de littĂ©rature se propose d’examiner trois thĂšmes essentiels : premiĂšrement, l’impact de la tĂ©lĂ©mĂ©decine sur l’offre active de services aux francophones en situation minoritaire dans diffĂ©rentes provinces. DeuxiĂšmement, elle abordera les usages et les enjeux de la tĂ©lĂ©mĂ©decine pour ces communautĂ©s.

    Zooplankton plays diverse crucial roles within the marine ecosystem and can also be used as bio- indicator of climate changes since it is very sensitive to environmental changes. Therefore it is essential to consider long-term plankton series. Given the analysis of plankton samples is time- consuming, it requires an effective and rapid analytical method. We have used in this work a supervised learning approach adapted for the semi-automatic classification of digital images of the mesozooplankton of the Bay of Calvi (Corsica, France) by using the Zoo/PhytoImage software. Together with a 11-years long zooplankton time-series, a set of nine environmental variables were monitored in order to identify controlling factors and determine whether the communities were sensitive to global environmental changes. The main components of the mesozooplankton community were characterized by both seasonal and inter-annual variability. Additionally, variation of holoplankton and meroplankton differentiated one from each other. The holoplanktonic community could be split into two subgroups according to its variation in function of the environment: cladocerans and appendicularians, and to a lesser extent, copepods on one hand, and cnidarians, chaetognathes and thaliaceans, on the other hand. Regarding inter-annual variation, one year (2007) showed particularly low production of total zooplankton which was also the case for all the different holoplanktonic taxa. Accounting for that phenomenon were identified some potentially underlying environmental factors. Finally, although water temperature increased significantly over the last years along with the frequency of marine heat wave events, no evident change in the global zooplankton composition was observed yet.STARECAPME
