Quelle collocation causative enseigner ? L’exemple des structures V causatif + N d’EMOTION

This analysis is part of a group of studies on the combinatorial profile of nouns of emotion (Blumenthal 2002). Aligned with the syntactic pattern V + N in the cause and effect relationship (Nazarenko 2000), the aim of this study is to analyze the attraction between the causative verbs and the predicate nouns included in the nine emotions fields of the Emolex classification. The study of how these constructions function in the Emolex digital corpus of journalistic and literary texts should allow us to identify the attraction between these two grammatical classes, to highlight their combinatorial profiles (adjectives, adverbs...). The issue aims to answer the following question: what kinds of causative combination verb + noun of emotion should we teach

Risk factors of sexual dysfunctions in postmenopausal women

Objectives: Both somatic and psychosocial factors influence women’s sexual functioning. The main objective of the conducted research was to determine the risk factors of sexual dysfunctions in women during the postmenopausal period. Material and methods: The researcher studied 666 women between the ages of 45–65 (M = 54.96 } 5.42), who had their last period no later than 12 months prior. Standardised questionnaires were used to study: sexual functions (FSFI), intensity of menopausal symptoms (KI), level of depression (BDI), body esteem (BES), health behaviours (HBI). Results: Sexual dysfunctions were diagnosed in 33.03% of the studied women. The respondents with dysfunctions differed from the respondents without dysfunctions in terms of: age (p < 0.001), education (p < 0.001), material standing (p < 0.01), relationship status (p < 0.001), body weight (p < 0.001), BMI (p < 0.05), self-assessment of health state (p < 0.001), presence of chronic diseases (p < 0.05), sexual functioning (p < 0.001), intensity of menopausal symptoms (p < 0.001), level of depression (p < 0.001), body self-esteem (p < 0.001), health behaviours (p < 0.001). Regression analysis demonstrated (R2 = 0.24) that the higher the sense of sexual attractiveness, the lower the probability of sexual dysfunctions (B = –0.13; p < 0.001). In turn, the risk increases with age (B = 0.06; p < 0.001), intensity of menopausal symptoms (B = 0.04; p < 0.01) and concern about one’s own body weight (B = 0.04; p < 0.05). Living without a partner (as compared with living in an informal relationship) increases the risk of occurrence of sexual dysfunctions by as much as 129%. Conclusions: Crucial risk factors of sexual dysfunctions in women during the postmenopausal period include: age, relationship situation, intensity of menopausal symptoms, sense of sexual attractiveness and concern about body weight

The Role of Fairness, Job Satisfaction, and Co-Worker Cohesiveness in Influencing the Desire for Unionization Among Polish Cooks

Hotel work is characterized by long and unsocial shifts, and many hotel employees feel tired, treated unfairly, and dissatisfied with their jobs. There is a high incidence of part-time and temporary employment that translates into low pay, job insecurity, and limited access to training. Hotels in some countries – notably, Poland – are practically without collective representation leaving hotel workers with a weak bargaining position. This study aimed to find out whether hotel employees might be interested in unionization and whether, in the absence of unions in the workplace, staff can count on their co-workers for support and, whether this might affect their support for unions and intention to leave. The study is based on data collected through a questionnaire survey conducted among Polish cooks and cook’s helpers. 186 responses were used for further analysis. There was an inverse relationship between job satisfaction and intention to quit and dissatisfaction did not increase one’s desire for union membership. A sense of fairness translated into less desire for unionization and for leaving. There was a positive relationship between cohesiveness and a desire for unionization and an inverse relationship between cohesiveness and intention to quit. The way hotel managers treat their charges influences their behavior in and attitudes towards their workplaces

Establishing a core outcome set for peritoneal dialysis : report of the SONG-PD (standardized outcomes in nephrology-peritoneal dialysis) consensus workshop

Outcomes reported in randomized controlled trials in peritoneal dialysis (PD) are diverse, are measured inconsistently, and may not be important to patients, families, and clinicians. The Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Peritoneal Dialysis (SONG-PD) initiative aims to establish a core outcome set for trials in PD based on the shared priorities of all stakeholders. We convened an international SONG-PD stakeholder consensus workshop in May 2018 in Vancouver, Canada. Nineteen patients/caregivers and 51 health professionals attended. Participants discussed core outcome domains and implementation in trials in PD. Four themes relating to the formation of core outcome domains were identified: life participation as a main goal of PD, impact of fatigue, empowerment for preparation and planning, and separation of contributing factors from core factors. Considerations for implementation were identified: standardizing patient-reported outcomes, requiring a validated and feasible measure, simplicity of binary outcomes, responsiveness to interventions, and using positive terminology. All stakeholders supported inclusion of PD-related infection, cardiovascular disease, mortality, technique survival, and life participation as the core outcome domains for PD

Comprehensive dissection of prevalence rates, sex differences, and blood level-dependencies of clozapine-associated adverse drug reactions

Clozapine is often underused due to concerns about adverse drug reactions (ADRs) but studies into their prevalences are inconclusive. We therefore comprehensively examined prevalences of clozapineassociated ADRs in individuals with schizophrenia and demographic and clinical factors associated with their occurrence. Data from a multi-center study (n=698 participants) were collected. The mean number of ADRs during clozapine treatment was 4.8, with 2.4% of participants reporting no ADRs. The most common ADRs were hypersalivation (74.6%), weight gain (69.3%), and increased sleep necessity (65.9%), all of which were more common in younger participants. Participants with lower BMI prior to treatment were more likely to experience significant weight gain (>10%). Constipation occurred more frequently with higher clozapine blood levels and doses. There were no differences in ADR prevalence rates between participants receiving clozapine monotherapy and polytherapy. These findings emphasize the high prevalence of clozapine-associated ADRs and highlight several demographic and clinical factors contributing to their occurrence. By understanding these factors, clinicians can better anticipate and manage clozapine-associated ADRs, leading to improved treatment outcomes and patient well-being

Measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy of Y(1S) and Y(2S) mesons in PbPb collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV

The second-order Fourier coefficients (v(2)) characterizing the azimuthal distributions of Y(1S) and Y(2S) mesons produced in PbPb collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV are studied. The Y mesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay channel, as measured by the CMS detector. The collected data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 nb(-1). The scalar product method is used to extract the v2 coefficients of the azimuthal distributions. Results are reported for the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar < 2.4, in the transverse momentum interval 0 < pT < 50 GeV/c, and in three centrality ranges of 10-30%, 30-50% and 50-90%. In contrast to the J/psi mesons, the measured v(2) values for the Y mesons are found to be consistent with zero. (C) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

Constructions of causative verbs and names of emotions : linguistic aspects and didactic trails

Cette thèse propose une étude des constructions Verbe causatif + Nom d’émotion (susciter l’étonnement, déclencher l’enthousiasme, attiser la jalousie) selon la méthodologie établie dans le cadre du projet ANR-DFG Emolex (www.emolex.eu). Ce travail relie de façon étroite les descriptions linguistiques, sur le plan syntaxique et sémantique, de ces constructions et leurs applications en didactique du français langue étrangère (FLE). L’étude poursuit un triple objectif : 1) la sélection des collocations les plus "représentatives" dans le corpus selon le degré d’attirance de leurs éléments constitutifs, établi à l’aide de méthodes lexico-statistiques; 2) l’analyse de leurs propriétés sur le plan syntaxique et sémantiques ; 3) l’application didactique des résultats de l’analyse linguistique dans l'enseignement de ces collocations en FLE, notamment par la confection des cartes mentales. Ces dernières ouvrent des pistes innovantes pour l'enseignement/apprentissage de ces structures linguistiques auprès d’étudiants non-natifs du français (Cavalla et al. 2015).This thesis proposes a study the linguistic relationships between nominal predicates and causative verbs the names of emotions and causative verbs according to the methodology established in the ANR-DFG Emolex project (www.emolex.eu). This work lies in linking linguistic descriptions of collocations V + N in the cause and didactic transposition of these constructions from the observation of the corpus, which is still little discussed in the didactic of French as a Foreign Language (FLE). We aim to meet three main objectives: 1) to identify the most "representatives" collocations in the corpus according to degree of attraction of their components, based on lexical and statistical methods ; 2) the identification of syntactic-semantic relations between their components; 3) didactic application of the results of linguistic research in a didactic perspective of FLE in particular by making mind maps. Mind maps provide innovative ways for teaching/ learning these language elements to non-native Francophone students (Cavalla et al. 2015)

Le lexique verbal causatif et le raisonnement causal dans les textes scientifiques issus de Scientext

Causal relations are constitutive of scientific text. Causal information implies different stages of the construction of knowledge. If causal relations are commonly considered independent of all observation and judgment, the recent studies on linguistic causality (Jackiewicz (1998), Nazarenko (2000)) in agreement with the studies in philosophy (Hume (1739), Kant (1781)) insist on the subjective character of the causal relation, on the fact that it depends on the speaker's point of view. In other words, causality is the door that opens the placement of traces of the speaker's subject. Causal reasoning plays an important role for the interpretation of scientific writings. It is the foundation of all scientific composition and is manifested by lexical or grammatical clues, but also by the fact that "interlocutors share the knowledge of a causal relation" which allows them to understand this reasoning (cf. Gross & Nazarenko (2004)). From a pre-established list of verbs and causal constructions presented in dictionaries and dedicated works of lexicon cause, our goal will be to first establish a class of verbs and causative constructions (Dixon (2000)), in order to then test their function in a corpus, consisted of scientific writings issued in Scientext. It particularly consists of more scientific writings belonging to three principal disciplines: human sciences, experimental sciences and applied sciences. Across the frequent studies, of one part, and the syntactical and lexical combination of the vast range of causative structures, of another part, we analyze the common trends concerning causal reasoning in three types of corpora. We equally observe if the different disciplines benefit certain causative structures in the expense of others and, if yes, why.Les relations causales sont constitutives du texte scientifique. L'information causale implique les différentes étapes de la construction des connaissances. Si les relations causales sont habituellement considérées comme indépendantes de toute observation et jugement, les études récentes sur la causalité en linguistique (Jackiewicz (1998), Nazarenko (2000)) en accord avec les études en philosophie (Hume (1739), Kant (1781)) insistent sur le caractère subjectif de la relation causale, sur le fait qu'elle dépend du point de vue du locuteur. Autrement dit, la causalité porte en elle les traces du positionnement du sujet énonciateur. Le raisonnement causal joue un rôle important pour l'interprétation des écrits scientifiques. Il est le fondement de toute activité de rédaction scientifique et se manifeste par des indices lexicaux ou grammaticaux, mais aussi par le fait que " les interlocuteurs partagent la connaissance d'une relation causale " qui leur permet de comprendre ce raisonnement (cf. Gross & Nazarenko (2004)). A partir d'une liste pré-établie de verbes et de constructions causales présentes dans des dictionnaires et des travaux consacrés au lexique de la cause, notre but sera d'établir d'abord un classement des verbes et des constructions causatives (Dixon (2000)), afin de tester ensuite leur fonctionnement dans un corpus, constitué d'écrits scientifiques issus de Scientext. Il s'agit plus particulièrement d'écrits scientifiques appartenant à trois principales disciplines : les sciences humaines, les sciences expérimentales et les sciences appliquées. A travers l'étude des fréquences, d'une part, et de la combinatoire syntaxique et lexicale du vaste éventail de structures causatives, d'autre part, nous analyserons les tendances communes concernant le raisonnement causal dans les trois types de corpus. Nous observerons également si les différentes disciplines privilégient certaines structures causatives au détriment d'autres et, si oui, pourquoi
