Le panorama humaniste se définit par la réception de l’héritage de l’Antiquité Classique, fondé sur la méthode philologique de la multiplex imitatio et de l’æmulatio avec les auteurs gréco-latins. Cette contaminatio gnoséologique construit un tout nouveau scénario dans la réalité de la genèse et de la création littéraires aux XVème et XVIème siècles, aboutissant à la production de nombre de Collectaneas, Florilegia, Adagia comme sources encyclopédiques des sententiae, exempla et apophthegmes, qui favorisent le dialogue entre les trois domaines du savoir que sont Philosophie, Morale et Rhétorique. Ces oeuvres, disposées par loci communes, ont une teneur didactique et c’est ainsi que la rhétorique s’allie à la pédagogie, à la philosophie et à la morale, pour l’éducation et la formation intégrale de l’ethos de; l’individu. André Rodrigues de Évora - Andreas Eborensis - a été divulgateur de Plutarque. Dans les Loci communes sententiarum et exemplorum (1569), qu’il a rassemblés à partir des Moralia, on examinera trois questions : 1) Quels sont les traités moraux qu’il retient ? 2) Quel type de sentences trouve-t-on et quel type d’organisation a-t-il choisi ? 3) Quelles sont les (possibles) éditions de Plutarque qu’il a utilisées

Perceptions of the self and most people’s reactions towards innocent and noninnocent victims

Research has shown that: individuals positively distinguish themselves from most other people; being consistent is positively valued; injunctive and descriptive norms are perceived to protect victims. Joining these findings, we argue that individuals present themselves as following injunctive and descriptive norms towards victims to a higher extent and more consistently than most people. In an experimental study 273 university students of both sexes indicated what they and most other people would approve of (injunctive norm) or typically do (descriptive norm) regarding various reactions towards either an innocent or a noninnocent victim. The reactions involved secondary victimization (devaluation/derogation, avoidance, suffering minimization, blaming the victim) and non secondary victimization (valuation, contact, suffering acknowledgment, not blaming the victim). Participants perceived themselves and most people as approving of more non secondary than secondary victimization reactions, except for blaming the noninnocent victim. Participants indicated they approved of most of the normative reactions to a higher extent than most people, which is interpreted as a new instance of the Primus Inter Pares effect. Participants also indicated they would show more consistency between their injunctive and descriptive norms, especially towards the innocent victim. Results suggest that individuals perceive themselves as more immune to perverse norms than most people.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

The buffering-boosting hypothesis of the expression of general and personal belief in a just world

WOS:000327736700004Although past research on the expression of belief in a just world (BJW) identified such statements as judgment norms, it has not ascertained whether their social value holds when individuals refer to good and bad outcomes. We investigated whether this is the case - a more stringent test of the "BJW as judgment norms" view. Participants judged the targets on two dimensions of social value: social desirability and social utility. We hypothesized, and found, that high versus low BJW buffered the negativity of the associated negative dimension(s) of discourses and boosted the positivity of the associated positive dimension(s) of discourses. This buffering-boosting pattern is discussed as revealing the system justification functions of the expression of BJW.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

Transitions of care management in CKD: critical thinking and improving strategies

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high clinical and socioeconomic impact and is often associated with multimorbidity. Improved treatment has allowed an increase in patient survival, but patient life expectancy remains limited. The disease course has a continuum of lesion, stage and treatment transitions. The focus is often placed on treatment modality, disregarding the course of a CKD patient’s disease. In addition, patient management in transitions of modalities of renal replacement therapy (RRT) can also be a vector for improving clinical outcomes. The transition between different types of CKD treatment and the transition of care from paediatric to adult team are critical processes throughout the life of a CKD patient. In the therapeutic transition, there is the need to identify better predictors of success in allocating patients with stage 5 CKD to their first dialytic modality in. There is a risk of early mortality in the induction period of dialysis, particularly of the elderly in extracorporeal dialysis regimens. Doubt remains in decision making about the ideal timing to establish the transition to renal replacement therapy and its most appropriate type. Transfer between dialytic modalities also calls for opportune and integrated policies protecting vascular resources. Renal transplantation is considered the optimal renal replacement therapy; however, transplant failure or the side effects of immunosuppression are threats to consider, which may redirect these patients back to dialysis and involves a re‑evaluation of the patient’s status. Also, end‑of‑life care and decision making between initiating renal replacement therapy or maintaining conservative management are a challenge in the elderly. This review identifies the main challenges in these transitional processes, raising awareness of areas in need of improvement in patient care. The aim should be to achieve a more comprehensive and appropriate health management than a limited focus on CKD modality treatment.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Effective Actions for Heterotic M-Theory

We discuss the moduli space approximation for heterotic M-theory, both for the minimal case of two boundary branes only, and when a bulk brane is included. The resulting effective actions may be used to describe the cosmological dynamics in the regime where the branes are moving slowly, away from singularities. We make use of the recently derived colliding branes solution to determine the global structure of moduli space, finding a boundary at which the trajectories undergo a hard wall reflection. This has important consequences for the allowed moduli space trajectories, and for the behaviour of cosmological perturbations in the model.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures.

Encephalopathy Associated with Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: A Potentially Reversible Condition

Autoimmune thyroid disease may occasionally associate with unspecific neurological symptoms, which are more commonly insidious, include cognitive or behavioural symptoms, and may associate with tremor, myoclonus, or ataxia. We report a 61-year-old female patient who presented with chronic headache, insidious mood, and cognitive disturbance which evolved in a few months to dementia associated with exuberant limb myoclonus. Diagnostic workup revealed high anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody titers and an inflammatory CSF profile, and it was negative for other possible etiologies. Treatment with steroids induced significant improvement. The diagnosis of encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroid disease is still controversial given the fact that the clinical presentation and diagnostic workup are unspecific, the pathophysiology is still undetermined, and the diagnosis is mostly of exclusion. No direct correlation is found between anti-thyroid antibody titers and clinical presentation, and it is currently speculated that other still unrecognized antibodies may be responsible for this clinical entity. It is extremely important to recognize this entity because it is potentially treatable with immunotherapies. It is also increasingly recognized that clinical improvement with first-line treatment with steroids may be absent or incomplete, and other immunotherapies as immunosuppressants, intravenous immunoglobulin, or plasma exchange must be attempted in the clinical suspicion of EEAT.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
