Artur Zmijewski : Scénarios de dissidence = Scenarios of Dissidence

"This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Artur Żmijewski. Scenarios of Dissidence presented at the Galerie de l’UQAM from October 22 to November 20, 2010. Véronique Leblanc and Louise Déry were the curators. The exhibition and the book present works in which the artist observes the emergence and escalation of conflicts arising from encounters with radical otherness. These works address the failure of dialogue, the impossibility of finding negotiable ground when the discussion involves ideology. They explore the issue of violence to question the way we live together. The exhibition also features videos that focus on negotiations between the artist and his subject, works that investigate human behavior in connection with the notions of memory and identity (cultural, religious, national). The videos offer a more intimate experience, inviting the viewer into a reflection on the individual and human vulnerability. " -- Publisher's website

Early Initiation into Gambling Among Boys and Girls with Conduct Problems: A Prospective Study

Context. Both early initiation into gambling (Rahman et al., 2012; Slutske et al., 2014) and conduct problems (Welte et al., 2009, 2011) have been identified as independent risk factors for later gambling problems. However, few longitudinal studies have examined the associations between these two risk factors, as well as their predictive relationship with gambling initiation among children and adolescents. Research Question. Are conduct problems a risk factor for early initiation into gambling, over and above other known risk factors? Method. This study used data from an ongoing prospective, longitudinal study at the Université de Sherbrooke in order to examine gambling initiation among primary school-aged boys and girls with early conduct problems. Children ages 6 -9 years were recruited from several low-SES public schools in several regions of Quebec, Canada. A strength of the study is the roughly equal proportion of boys and girls with conduct problems, as well as the presence of a matched control group of children with no conduct problems. Gambling initiation was measured between 2 - 4 years later. Results. Regression analyses showed that the relationship between conduct problems and initiation into gambling remained even after child internalizing problems, child academic performance, child executive functioning, and parental and child substance use were controlled for. Implications. Results confirm that both boys and girls with conduct problems are a high risk group for early initiation into gambling. Given these findings, implications for future research and prevention activities specifically for young children with early conduct problems will be discussed

Revisiting Wilson and Jungner in the genomic age: a review of screening criteria over the past 40 years

Almost 40 years ago, WHO commissioned a report on screening from James Maxwell Glover Wilson, then Principal Medical Officer at the Ministry of Health in London, England, and Gunner Jungner, then Chief of the Clinical Chemistry Department of Sahlgren’s Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. The report1, published in 1968, was entitled: Principles and practice of screening for disease and it has since become a public health classic
