"For beyond this trading community lies family life" : filiation et écriture dans Crossing the River
2016
This paper examines the relationship between filiation, affiliation and writing in Crossing the River. First, it examines the diversity of literary genres incorporated, revisited and juxtaposed in a novel often defined by its polyphonic structure. This analysis leads to a study of the ways in which family ties, and particularly the links between parents and children, are staged in the text through a complex pattern of repetitions and inversions. The echoes which connect, and sometimes oppose, the various parts of the novel suggest that repetition and inversion are the tools through which family identity is constructed throughout the novel. The reason behind these textual strategies may also…
Entraînement auditif et musical chez l'enfant sourd profond : effets sur la perception auditive et effets de transferts
2012
This thesis focuses on the auditory training and auditory skill development of congenitally profoundly deaf children. It aims to evaluate, not only the effects of auditory training/auditory skill development on general auditory performances, but also the transfer effects on speech perception and development. An extended period of auditory deprivation leads to major difficulties in reception and speech production, cognitive difficulties, and also disrupts the maturation of central auditory pathways which limit the effects of hearing loss treatment in restoring sound transmission (cochlear implants or hearing aids). It is therefore necessary to teach children how to actively listen and to dev…
Psychological support for children who are victims of abuse in Cambodia: Culture as a developmental tool of traumatic experience
2020
When psychologists step in the humanitarian field, they are confronted with cultural and language issues during their intervention. The way of expressing trauma is deeply linked with the cultural background, thus it should guide and shape the psychological support to make it more appropriate. Within a Khmer NGO, we have set up a psychological support based on different sorts of mediation. Our patients were eight children with the same set of symptoms: recurrence and massive anxiety, most of the time appearing through animist cultural representations. In this article, we will first present the situation of Bonat, witness of domestic violence and of his mother’s death, and then the situation …
Indoor noise exposure assessment of primary school children living in a french urban area
2012
International audience; The recent development of powerful noise mapping softwares allows to assess the exposure to environmental noise at the scale of an agglomeration. However noise levels inside dwellings are still unknown at such scales. To evaluate indoor noise levels and to investigate the factors which determine them, an eight-day noise measurement campaign was carried out in 50 childrens home. These children were randomly chosen among 8 or 9-year-old pupils attending the public primary schools of Besançon (France). Microphones were placed in the childs bedroom, outdoor in front of the bedrooms facade, and in the main room. Equivalent sound pressure levels (LAeq) were calculated d…

Hyvän lapsen ja kasvattamisen ideaalit – tutkimus aapisten ja lukukirjojen moraalisen kosmologian muutoksista itsenäisyyden aikana
2001
Tässä tutkimuksessa käsitellään suomenkielisten aapisten ja lukukirjojen sisältämien opetuskertomusten moraalisia ideaaleja ja niiden muutoksia itsenäisyyden aikana. Minkälaisen maailman ihanne kirjoissa luodaan ja mihin kiinnitetään ajatus, että jokin toiminta tai ajattelu on oikeaa, hyvää ja suotavaa, toinen väärää, pahaa ja torjuttavaa? Aineistona tutkimuksessa on käytetty 57 aapista ja lukukirjaa. Aineisto on analysoitu yhteisöllisen moraalin kosmologisia ominaisuuksia koskevien sosiologisten teorioiden ajatuksin. Mary Douglas käsittelee moraalista kosmologiaa symbolisina järjestyksinä, jotka sisältävät maailman ja ihmisen olemista koskevia, itsestään selvinä pidettyjä oletuksia. Keskei…
Diet quality and academic achievement : A prospective study among primary school children
2017
Purpose Poor diet quality may impair academic achievement in children, but such evidence is limited. Therefore, we investigated the associations of healthy diet in Grade 1 assessed by Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), Baltic Sea Diet Score (BSDS), and Finnish Children Healthy Eating Index (FCHEI) with academic achievement in Grades 1–3 in children. Methods The participants were 161 Finnish children who were 6–8 years old in Grade 1 and attended in a large ongoing physical activity and dietary intervention study. Dietary factors were assessed using 4-day food records, and MDS, BSDS, and FCHEI were calculated. Academic achievement was assessed by reading fluency, reading comprehension, and arit…
Stability in Parents' Causal Attributions for Their Children's Academic Performance: A Nine-Year Follow-up
2015
This study investigated the interindividual stability and mean-level changes in parents’ causal attributions for their children’s academic performance across a 9-year period from the first year in primary school (Grade 1, age 7) to the end of lower secondary school (Grade 9, age 16). In all, 212 children participated in the study. The results showed that, after we controlled for the children’s level of academic performance, the parents made fairly similar causal attributions when their children were in the ninth grade as they did in the first grade. Changes in the mean-level happened in only external attributions. Further, the differences between mothers and fathers in the stability of thei…
