Nelly Chabrol Gagne, Filles dâalbum. Les reprĂ©sentations du fĂ©minin dans lâalbum
Les Ă©tudes fĂ©ministes sâintĂ©ressent depuis les annĂ©es 1970 Ă la culture de lâenfance et de la jeunesse, et particuliĂšrement aux reprĂ©sentations du fĂ©minin dans les albums (voir notamment les textes pionniers dâElena Gianini Belotti et les albums dâAdela Turin), mais câest depuis les annĂ©es 2000 que les Ă©tudes sur ce domaine se sont multipliĂ©es. Ătudes de sociologues pour la plupart, elles reposaient sur des enquĂȘtes systĂ©matiques chiffrĂ©es et faisaient le constat que, si lâon assistait Ă un r..

Le jazz Ă la lumiĂšre de Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Le discours tenu sur le jazz par les premiers tĂ©moins (journalistes, Ă©crivains, musicologuesâŠ) de son arrivĂ©e en Europe est extrĂȘmement proche de celui, quâĂ lâĂąge classique, les voyageurs et les philosophes qui compilĂšrent les rĂ©cits de ces derniers produisirent Ă propos de la musique des Noirs africains ou des esclaves. Si on dĂ©plore trĂšs gĂ©nĂ©ralement le bruit et la cacophonie engendrĂ©s par des pratiques quâil est presque impossible de tenir pour musicales, quelques voix sâavĂšrent plus inspirĂ©es. Or, quoi de vĂ©ritablement commun entre les « tambours des Mandingos » ou le « chant du NĂšgre Arada » dâune part, la musique dĂ©livrĂ©e dans lâEurope de lâaprĂšs PremiĂšre Guerre mondiale par les grands orchestres de Will Marion Cook ou James Reese Europe de lâautre ? Tout en interrogeant une permanence des discours que la diffĂ©rence des musiques rend problĂ©matique, on suggĂ©rera que câest peut-ĂȘtre lâactivitĂ© de penseurs des LumiĂšres tels que Jean-Jacques Rousseau qui, en posant les bases de lâethnomusicologie, a lointainement prĂ©parĂ© nos esprits et nos oreilles Ă entendre les musiques autres ou, plus largement, Ă Ă©couter autrement la musique.Jazz in the Light of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. â Firsthand reports written about jazz, when it arrived in Europe, by journalists, writers and musicologists closely resemble the accounts written, during the Classical Age, about Black African or slave music by travelers and the philosophers who set their words down in writing. Besides general lamentations about the noise and cacophony produced by practices that could hardly be called musical, a few more inspired voices were heard. What is really in common between âManding drumsâ or the âNĂšgre Arada chantâ and the music brought to Europe after the First World War by Will Marion Cookâs or James Reeseâs bands? While inquiring into the constancy in these accounts, which does not hold up given the difference between the sorts of music in question, the authors suggest that thinkers during the Enlightenment, such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (who laid the basis for ethnomusicology), helped prepare our minds and ears for other kinds of music or, in broader terms, prepared the way for us to listen to music in another way
Exploring the Relationships Between Altered Body Perception, Limb Position Sense, and Limb Movement Sense in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
© 2018 The Authors Chronic pain is often accompanied by patient-reported distorted body perception and an altered kinesthesia (referring to the senses of limb position and limb movement), but the association between these deficits is unknown. The objectives of this study were to assess body perception and the senses of limb position and limb movement in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and to test whether these variables are related to each other and to pain intensity. Thirteen patients with upper limb CRPS (mean pain intensity, 4.2 ± 2.4 out of 10) and 13 controls were recruited. Body perception was self-reported with a questionnaire, and the senses of limb position (task 1) and of limb movement (task 2) were assessed with a robotic system combined with a 2D virtual reality display. The results showed altered kinesthesia in the patients with CRPS compared with controls (all
Virtual reality-induced sensorimotor conflict evokes limb-specific sensory disturbances in complex regional pain syndrome
Sensory disturbances are frequently observed in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). They are characterized by changes in the perception of limb weight and temperature, a distorted mental image of the affected limb, feeling the limb as a foreign body part, etc. However, the origin of such disturbances remains unclear. It has been hypothesized that such disturbances are due to attentional effects and/or sensorimotor integration deficits. If sensory disturbances are explained by sensorimotor integration deficits rather than by attentional factors (as hypervigilance toward pain and pain-related sensations), they would be expected to be specific in terms of the type of sensation evoked and in terms of localization.Objectives: The first objective was to test whether sensory disturbances evoked by a unilateral sensorimotor conflict are specific to the painful limb and differ according to the type of sensory disturbances in individuals with a unilateral CRPS compared to healthy controls (HC). The second objective was to assess the association between clinical characteristics and sensory disturbances evoked by a unilateral sensorimotor conflict. The third objective was to assess motor disturbances induced by a unilateral sensorimotor conflict.Methods: Ten adults with upper limb (UL) CRPS and 23 HC were recruited. Sensorimotor conflict was elicited with a KINARM robotized exoskeleton interfaced with a 2D virtual environment allowing the projection of a virtual UL that was moving in either a congruent or incongruent manner relative to the actual UL movement. Participants were required to rate the sensory disturbances evoked from 0 (no change) to 3 (high change) on a questionnaire (8 items). According to a previous study, items were categorized in two Types (Type 1: pain, discomfort, the feeling of losing a limb, change in weight and temperature; Type 2: feelings of peculiarity, the impression of gaining a limb and losing control). Motor disturbances were quantified as mediolateral drift and changes in amplitude of UL movement. Recorded clinical characteristics included the intensity and duration of pain, proprioception deficits, and body perception disturbances.Results and conclusion: CRPS participants report higher Type 1 than Type 2 disturbances for the Affected limb (while the reverse was observed for HC and for the Unaffected limb). In addition, no difference was observed between the Unaffected limb in CRPS and the Dominant limb in HC for Type 2 disturbances, while higher conflict sensitivity was observed for Type 1 disturbances. Conflict sensitivity was related to higher pain (but not to other clinical characteristics) only for Type 1 disturbances in the Affected limb. Finally, no difference in motor disturbances was observed between CRPS and HC. While this does not completely rule out the attentional hypothesis, these results are in line with the hypothesis that sensory disturbances in CRPS are due to deficits in sensorimotor integration
[Cu2(HF2)(H2O)8][FeF6]·2H2O
The title compound, octaaquaÂ(hydrogenfluorido)dicopper(II) hexaÂfluoridoferrate(III) dihydrate, was synthesized under hydroÂthermal conditions. The Cu atom is coordinated by one F and five O atoms within a highly distorted octaÂhedron, forming dimeric [Cu2(H2O)8HF2]3+ units by edge sharing. These units are hydrogen bonded to [FeF6]3â anions and to an interÂstitial water molÂecule. The former feature Fe3+ on a special position (). The dimeric copper units are linked to adjacent dimers by FâHâŻF hydrogen bonds. Additional OâHâŻO and OâHâŻF hydrogen bonds help to consolidate the crystal packing
The influence of hay steaming on clinical signs and airway immune response in severe asthmatic horses
ackground
Avoidance of antigenic stimuli was found to significantly reverse airway obstruction of horses with severe equine asthma (sEA). To date, no published study investigated the influence of steaming hay on lower airway condition of sEA-affected horses. The objectives were to determine the clinical, cytological and cytokine respiratory responses of both sEA and control (CTL) horses experimentally exposed to steamed or dry hay.
Results
A cohort of 6 sEA horses and 6 CTL horses was involved in this field study. On day 0, both groups were fed with steamed hay for 5 consecutive days, followed by a wash-out period of 26 days prior to be fed with dry hay for 5 consecutive days. Investigations performed 2 days prior to and 5 days after each challenge included clinical score, tracheal mucus accumulation, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cytology and cytokine mRNA expression. Feeding steamed hay significantly decreased its mould content (Pâ<â0.001). Mucus score significantly increased when feeding dry hay (Pâ=â0.01). No significant influence of challenge type was found on clinical score. Percentages of neutrophils (Pâ<â0.001) as well as mRNA expression of IL-1ÎČ (Pâ=â0.024), IL-6R (Pâ=â0.021), IL-18 (Pâ=â0.009) and IL-23 (Pâ=â0.036) in BALF of sEA affected horses were significantly increased after both (steamed and dry hay) challenges. Relative mRNA expression of IL-1ÎČ, IL-6R and IL-23 in BALF were also significantly correlated to neutrophil percentages and both clinical and tracheal mucus score.
Conclusions
Steaming significantly decreased mould content but inconsistently influenced the respiratory response of sEA affected horses when fed hay. Based on BALF cytology and cytokine profiles, its relevance might be controversial as a non-medicinal therapy for sEA-affected horses
