Entre sentiment de responsabilité et aversion pour l’arbre : les bandes riveraines vues par les agriculteurs

In the Quebec context where regulatory compliance with riparian buffer is controversial and where the development of widened riparian buffer remains difficult, this research offers an in-depth analysis of farmers' attitudes. It examines the affective, cognitive and behavioral components of attitudes to question both regulatory compliance with riparian buffer and the interest of producers for several types of wide riparian buffers : cultivated with hay, with shrubs, with trees. It is based on semi-structured interviews with 26 producers localized in an intensive agricultural area in the south of the province. The analysis first shows that the notion of riparian buffer refers to positive feelings for some farmers and negative for others, although many of their environmental benefits are known. Knowing the benefits of riparian buffer is therefore not the sole factor influencing behavior. Regulated riparian buffers appear to be increasingly accepted mainly as a personal, moral and social responsibility, even if they continue to be rejected by some farmers. Wide riparian buffer only seem to be possible without trees and in places where producers are aware of particular problems that affect soil conservation. Given the role of social norms in the attitudes of farmers, the analysis suggests to incorporate farmers within a local group learning situation with peers to improve the establishment of riparian buffer strips

Anthropological perspectives on Miyupimaatisiiun and the integration of oral health in primary care in the Cree communities of Northern Quebec.

The integration of primary oral health care has a pivotal role in improving oral health outcomes and providing accessible and affordable health care. This article contributes to the deep understanding of the cultural aspects of the integration of oral health into primary health care at an Indigenous health organization. Proceeding from a collaborative and interdisciplinary research project evaluating the integration of oral health care within primary care in Eeyou Istchee, this research is based on group discussions (6) and individual interviews (36) with 74 participants (care providers, administrators, and patients) held in four Eastern James Bay Cree communities. This study anthropologically explored participants' perceptions about primary health care conceptualizations, culturally based approaches, and experiences of oral care services at this organization using a "two-eyed seeing" Indigenous framework. The study identified three key factors related to the integration of primary oral health care: Cree perception of primary health and oral health care, cultural safety, and health provider-patient communication and the role of silence. Study findings reflected a dichotomy of perception of primary health care and the relevant units of care between the Cree structural and cultural perspective and the non-Cree professional perspective. The Cree people perceived "household" as a unit of care in comparison to non-Cree who viewed "health care services" as units of care. Our results also underline the role of cultural safety agents to address the needs for cultural competence and the role of silence as implicit cultural protocol. Our anthropological analysis illustrates the potential for increasing the level of appreciation for both users and workers in oral care in the future by ameliorating communication skills and intercultural knowledge

Management of stage III non–small cell lung cancer

Optimal management of patients with locally advanced non–small cell lung cancer remains challenging in the context of this heterogeneous disease. Despite aggressive therapeutic approaches, survival benefits are still unsatisfactory for what might be viewed as a localized malignancy. A combined modality approach offers patients superior outcomes, especially because technological advances and refined surgical procedures now provide better results with fewer complications. Nevertheless, several features of therapy remain controversial and lack formal prospective data. Traditional cytotoxic chemoradiation therapy may have reached a plateau and future perspectives opting to integrate molecularly targeted agents and immunotherapy might be the way to improve outcomes in this disease subset.SCOPUS: re.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal, septembre 1995 : L'éternel et l'éphémère

The nomadic configurations of photography from Montreal, as well as young artists from Canada and Japan are examined.
