The representation of the back in idiomatic expressions--do idioms value the body?

Objective: Whilst investigating the influence of patients' representations on the impact of teaching in the back school, we took an interest in 1) the place of the back in the French idioms referring to the body; and 2) the meaning these idioms convey about the back. Methods: The idioms including body part terms were sought on the basis of a compilation of French idioms; it has to be noted that such a compilation, however excellent it may be, can only offer a partial view of lay conversation. Occurrence of body parts and of their connotations were assessed. Idioms were classified as positive, negative or neutral, keeping in mind the difficulties of a strict classification in such a field. Drawings were then performed on the basis of the results of the descriptive analysis. Results: Globally, idiomatic expressions offer a rather negative picture of the body or at least suggest that the body is prominently used to express negative ideas and emotions. This is particularly striking for the idioms associated with the back. Conclusion: The analysis of idioms referring to the body allows us to 'see with our own eyes' another aspect of the representations of the body and the back, as they are conveyed in the French language.

Elle partage la nouvelle de sa guérison miraculeuse. L'analyse comparée de ces récits, ainsi qu'une description ethnographique des célébrations durant lesquelles ils sont émis, montre comment l'énonciation de la croyante est encadrée par le pasteur. Une approche pragmatique et énonciative permet de ressaisir simultanément cet encadrement au plan institutionnel et interactionnel. On verra alors comment cette parole publique contribue à redéfinir la perception que la communauté a de Dieu et d'elle-même. Chacune des situations de témoignage renvoie ainsi à deux façons présentes au sein de l'évangélisme charismatique de se rapporter au surnaturel qui ont un impact sur l'organisation des Églises locales.Three years after sharing publicly about her chronic illness, a believer addresses again her congregation, an Evangelical church with Charismatic leanings. She shares the news of her miraculous healing. A comparative analysis of those testimonies and on ethnographic descriptions of the worship services during which she spoke will show how the pastor frames the believer's enunciation. A pragmatic and enunciative approach recaptures simultaneously both interactional and institutional levels. It will appear that the public speech contributes to redefining the congregation's perception of God and of itself. Both testimony settings show two ways, within Charismatic Evangelism, to refer to the supernatural. Those ways have an impact on the organization of the local churches

Sexuality, partner relations and contraceptive practice after termination of pregnancy

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of termination of pregnancy (TOP) on women's sexual well-being, the couple and contraceptive practice. In a prospective qualitative and quantitative study, 103 women undergoing induced abortion by vacuum aspiration were interviewed before the abortion and 6 months later. The interview was performed by means of a questionnaire including open and closed questions, and two psychological tests (Locke-Wallace and Horowitz). After TOP, the majority of women did not report changes in their sexual behavior and satisfaction. Eighteen per cent of women reported a decrease in sexual desire and 17% reported orgasmic disorders. About one-third of women described psychosomatic symptoms, but a minority were traumatized by the event. Ninety-eight per cent of the women were informed about, and had practiced, contraception in the past; 69% had actually used some kind of contraception during the menstrual cycle that had resulted in pregnancy (31% had had unprotected intercourse). Six months later, 83% practiced contraception, and only 17% did not. Fourteen out of 84 couples separated after TOP (one in six). Six months after TOP, the large majority of women interviewed seemed able to cope with TOP. A minority presented some persisting sexual dysfunction and/or some psychosomatic symptoms.

This study aimed to identify young adults who are more vulnerable to peer influence by prospectively examining whether sensation seeking and aggression traits moderate the associations between peer influence and alcohol use and related consequences among young male drinkers. Participants (N=4,624 participants) were young Swiss men from the Cohort Study on Substance Use Risk Factors. Measures of peer influence (i.e. descriptive norms and peer pressure to engage in misconduct), sensation seeking, aggression and alcohol use and related consequences were used from the baseline and 15-month follow-up assessments. Findings indicated that neither sensation seeking nor aggression significantly moderated the associations between peer influence and alcohol-related consequences. However, they revealed that sensation seeking and aggression had a moderating effect on the association between peer influence and total drinks per year, such that this association was overall stronger among participants scoring lower on personality traits. These findings suggest that young male drinkers with low scores on sensation seeking and aggression may benefit from stand-alone selective interventions targeting peer influence, whereas those scoring higher on these personality traits may rather benefit from programs that include interventions targeting both peer influence and personality risk factors of drinking behaviors

Publier en français n’a plus de sens aujourd’hui

Pour que mes réponses soient claires, je dois préciser que je suis née en Suisse romande, de nationalité suisse et de langue maternelle française. J'ai fait mes études en Suisse, à l'Université de Genève jusqu'à la licence en sociologie, puis en France, à Paris et à Nice, jusqu'au doctorat en 1980. En 1980, quand je suis rentrée en Suisse, à Genève, pour des raisons diverses, le Département de sociologie a refusé de reconnaître ma thèse de doctorat française, m'a proposé d'y ajouter un complé..

Climate change, a challenging topic in the French curriculum (in 7th grade)

L’enseignement de la complexité dans la géographie scolaire : l’exemple du changement climatique

International audienceCette communication questionne l’enseignement du changement climatique dans le contexte de la géographie du secondaire en France. Cette discipline a pris en charge ces enjeux dans les programmes scolaires les plus récents. Pour autant, l’enseignement de la géographie permet-il aux jeunes d’appréhender la complexité des jeux d’acteurs et les causalités systémiques à l’œuvre avec le changement climatique ? Deux enquêtes complémentaires ont été menées dans deux établissements scolaires. Un questionnaire montre la grande hétérogénéité dans l’appréhension des élèves des questions climatiques, renforcée par la confusion des termes employés dans le prescrit (Perrin, 2018). L’utilisation de la géographie spontanée (Retaillé, 1997) des élèves – forgée dans l’expérience personnelle – apparaît être un levier vers une géographie raisonnée – manipulant des notions et des concepts abstraits et complexes. Deux démarches de géographie expérientielle (Leininger-Frézal, 2019) sont présentées pour mettre en œuvre ce lien

Durée d'hospitalisation : les points de vue divergent

Que pensent les patients de la durée de leur séjour à l'hôpital? Et qu'en pensent les soignants? Une étude menée auprès du Service de médecine interne de Beau-Séjour (Genève) révèle que les avis ne concordent pas.

To overcome this limitation, we have adapted a functional test of the viral thymidine kinase (TK) in TK-deficient (tdk mutant) bacteria to detect ACV-resistant VZV in clinical samples. After PCR amplification, the complete viral TK open reading frame (ORF) is purified from PCR primers, digested with two restriction enzymes, and ligated in an oriented fashion into a bacterial expression vector. The ligation products are then used to transform tdk mutant bacteria. After transformation, an aliquot of the bacteria is plated onto a plate with minimal medium containing (i) ampicillin to select for plasmids carrying the viral TK ORF and (ii) isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) to induce its expression. An identical aliquot of bacteria is also plated onto a medium containing, in addition to the components described above, 5-fluorodeoxyuridine (FUdR). Compared to the number of transformants on FUdR-free medium, the number of colonies carrying TK derived from susceptible strains was reduced by 86%, on average, in the presence of FUdR. In contrast, the number of transformants carrying TK from resistant strains with a mutant TK were reduced by only 4%, on average, on FUdR-containing plates. We have assessed the validity of this assay with cell culture isolates and several clinical samples including two cerebrospinal fluid samples from which no virus could be isolated. This colony reduction assay allowed the correct identification of the TK phenotype of each VZV isolate tested and can be completed within 3 days of receipt of the sample
