Canadian 24-hour movement guidelines for adults aged 18-64 years and adults aged 65 years or older: an integration of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep

The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology assembled a Consensus Panel representing national organizations, content experts, methodologists, stakeholders, and end-users and followed an established guideline development procedure to create the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Adults aged 18-64 years and Adults aged 65 years or older: An Integration of Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour, and Sleep. These guidelines underscore the importance of movement behaviours across the whole 24-h day. The development process followed the strategy outlined in the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument. A large body of evidence was used to inform the guidelines including 2 de novo systematic reviews and 4 overviews of reviews examining the relationships among movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep, and all behaviours together) and several health outcomes. Draft guideline recommendations were discussed at a 4-day in-person Consensus Panel meeting. Feedback from stakeholders was obtained by survey (n = 877) and the draft guidelines were revised accordingly. The final guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for a healthy day (24-h), comprising a combination of sleep, sedentary behaviours, and light-intensity and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity. Dissemination and implementation efforts with corresponding evaluation plans are in place to help ensure that guideline awareness and use are optimized. Novelty First ever 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Adults aged 18-64 years and Adults aged 65 years or older with consideration of a balanced approach to physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep Finalizes the suite of 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Canadians across the lifespa

LES DÉFIS DÉONTOLOGIQUES DU PSYCHOLOGUE EXPERT : RÉFLEXIONS SUR LES NOTIONS DE CONSENTEMENT, DE CLIENT ET D’IMPARTIALITÉ

L’expertise psychologique s’avère essentielle afin de soutenir les décisions émises par les tribunaux. Les recommandations qui en découlent sont déterminantes pour les juges, les procureurs et les clients qui font l’objet de l’évaluation. Le psychologue expert, qui doit prendre en considération plusieurs points de vue divergents, sera inévitablement confronté à des dilemmes éthiques et déontologiques au cours de sa pratique. Le présent article présente trois vignettes cliniques, dans lesquelles seront abordés le conflit d’intérêts, le consentement, la notion de client et l’obligation d’impartialité. Enfin, nous nous pencherons sur les balises et réflexions qui devraient encadrer la prise de décision.Psychological evidence provides essential enlightening in regard to diverse high-conflict situations and is essential to support court orders.

Femmes en guerre de l’époque médiévale à nos jours. Introduction

Short-Term Fish Oil Supplementation during Adolescence Supports Sex-Specific Impact on Adulthood Visuospatial Memory and Cognitive Flexibility

Numerous studies have supported benefits of omega-3 supplementation using Menhaden fish oil (FO) to promote brain maturation and plasticity during critical developmental periods. The goal of this study was to determine sex-specific immediate and delayed impact of adolescent omega-3 supplementation on visuospatial memory and cognitive flexibility. Sixty-four Wistar rats (n = 32 males and females) received daily FO or soybean oil (CSO) supplementation via oral gavage (0.3 mL/100 g body weight) from postnatal day 28–47. The Barnes Maze Test (BMT) was used to measure visuospatial memory and reversal learning trials (RL) determined cognitive flexibility. Juveniles underwent testing immediately after the gavage period, while adults began testing on postnatal day 90. Adult rats showed reduced working memory errors (WME) and gradual decrease in escape latencies compared to juveniles. Importantly, adult FO-supplemented females displayed fewer WME than males, while males’ performance benefited from CSO supplementation. Overall, sex- and supplementation-dependent effects supported a positive impact of FO in female rats only. Our findings support the potential for supplementation limited to the early adolescence period to influence adulthood spatial learning and cognitive flexibility in a sex-specific manner

Conclusion

En abordant l’expérience des femmes dans certains conflits armés de l’époque médiévale à nos jours, l’ouvrage met en lumière la diversité des expériences vécues à travers les époques, les lieux, les groupes et les conflits eux-mêmes. Étudiant non seulement leurs actions, mais aussi les fluctuations des normes genrées, culturelles et militaires, il questionne l’exclusion ou, au contraire, l’inclusion des femmes dans l’appareil militaire et interroge le caractère transgressif de ces engagements..

RÉFLEXION CRITIQUE SUR LES CLIENTÈLES DIFFICILES ET LEUR ACCÈS AUX SERVICES PSYCHOSOCIAUX

Le concept de clientèles difficiles a été peu étudié et sa définition ne fait pas consensus. Or, les clientèles difficiles présentent des caractéristiques communes et soulèvent de nombreux défis pour les professionnels. En effet, ces clientèles sont susceptibles d’engendrer des impasses thérapeutiques et des réactions contre-transférentielles massives et la relation thérapeutique peut s’en voir affecter. De plus, le manque de services spécialisés pour répondre aux besoins particuliers de ces clientèles génère des difficultés pour les professionnels qui interviennent auprès d’elles. La collaboration interdisciplinaire s’avère ainsi essentielle. Cet article propose de discuter des différents enjeux associés aux clientèles difficiles et à leur accès aux services psychosociaux.The concept of difficult clienteles has been little studied and there is no consensus on its definition. However, difficult clients have common characteristics and raise many challenges for professionals. Indeed, these clients are likely to generate therapeutic impasses and massive counter-transferential reactions and the therapeutic relationship may be affected. In addition, the lack of specialized services to meet the specific needs of these clients creates difficulties for the professionals who work with them. Interdisciplinary collaboration is therefore essential. This article proposes to discuss the various issues associated with difficult clienteles and their access to psychosocial services
