Barbara Godard, a Translator's Portrait: Analysing the Reception of Québec's Roman au Féminin (1960-1990) in Anglophone Canada

2021

The current dissertation is not only concerned with nourishing the Feminist Translation Studies field with an interdisciplinary perspective into Feminist Translator History. It strives for an understanding of Translation Studies, and Feminist Translation Studies in this particular case, as a cross-disciplinary space where the aims of various disciplines may converge (see Castro 2012). In the particular space of Feminist Translation/Translator History, and in line with Rundle's proposed synergies between Translation Studies and History (2014), the limitations of the so-called "discursive turn" in Feminist History" (Canning 1994) which, despite showing interest in how ideologies operate via h…

Pattern and characteristics of advanced cancer patients admitted to hospices in Italy

2013

Abstract The aim of this multicenter study was to assess the pattern and the characteristics of advanced cancer patients admitted to hospices. A consecutive sample of patients admitted in a period of 6 months was taken into consideration. Two hundred thirty-six patients admitted to hospices were consecutively assessed. Ninety-six percent of patients were admitted in acute hospital in the previous 3 months, with a mean time spent in hospital of 34.5 days, and 47 % of patients had received chemotherapy the month before hospice admission. Thirty-four percent of patients for whom data were available had significant persistent pain, and 44 % of them presented episodes of breakthrough pain. Sixty…

The Stressors-Performance Relationship in Public Accounting Firms: A Longitudinal Study

2021

Purpose: This study aims to examine the causal nature of the suggested correlations between stressors and performance in accounting and auditing firms.Design: A longitudinal study of the relationships between role stressors and performance of 71 chartered public accountants and trainee-chartered accountants surveyed before and after the fiscal period has been conducted using the partial least squares approach.Findings: The variation of stress arousal is positively associated with the variations of role conflict and overload, but not with the variations of role ambiguity and stress arousal. The variation of burnout arousal is positively related to the variation of stress arousal and, unexpec…

Modeling Spatial Data Pooled over Time: Schematic Representation and Monte Carlo Evidences

2015

The spatial autocorrelation issue is now well established, and it is almost impossible to deal with spatial data without considering this reality. In addition, recent developments have been devoted to developing methods that deal with spatial autocorrelation in panel data. However, little effort has been devoted to dealing with spatial data (cross-section) pooled over time. This paper endeavours to bridge the gap between the theoretical modeling development and the application based on spatial data pooled over time. The paper presents a schematic representation of how spatial links can be expressed, depending on the nature of the variable, when combining the spatial multidirectional relatio…

Analyse des comportements différentiels selon le sexe chez les 50-74 ans : le cas de la participation électorale (France et Etats-Unis)

2022

La tranche d’âges des 50-74 ans a changé de caractéristiques après la transition démographique dans les pays occidentaux : la mortalité y est maintenant faible et peu différenciée entre les sexes. Pourtant, cette tranche d’âges conserve une caractéristique qui la distingue de celle des 25-49 ans : son infécondité, en raison principalement de l’infertilité des femmes après 45 ans. L’objectif de l’étude est d’abord d’analyser la pertinence d’un découpage par tranches d’âges qui utiliserait ces critères démographiques à la place du découpage socio-économique traditionnel construit notamment autour de l’âge de 60 ou 65 ans qui correspond à l’âge de départ à la retraite. Les différences de compo…

PMID: 32989004 Background: The epidemiological transition of non-communicable diseases replacing infectious diseases as the main contributors to disease burden has been well documented in global health literature. Less focus, however, has been given to the relationship between sociodemographic changes and injury. The aim of this study was to examine the association between disability-adjuste…

Estimating global injuries morbidity and mortality

2020

Background. While there is a long history of measuring death and disability from injuries, modern research methods must account for the wide spectrum of disability that can occur in an injury, and must provide estimates with sufficient demographic, geographical and temporal detail to be useful for policy makers. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 study used methods to provide highly detailed estimates of global injury burden that meet these criteria. Methods. In this study, we report and discuss the methods used in GBD 2017 for injury morbidity and mortality burden estimation. In summary, these methods included estimating cause-specific mortality for every cause of injury, and then est…
