La rétention de sûreté : la première mesure de sûreté privative de liberté depuis le nouveau Code pénal
2015
The French criminal law is characterised by a willingness to prevent recidivism. To give concrete expression to this will, security measures are implemented among which the secure detention. However, the secure detention is not an ordinary measure and gives rises to many debates which, in fact, take up old and recurrent controversies. This measure is based on the assumption that sexual and/or violent criminals show a disease which may suggest a risk of a second offence. As a result, by considering them as sick persons, the legislator asserts that they can be treated. Accordingly, medical care is advised as the only solution to prevent a second offence. However, this disease itself often ind…
Elizabeth Barrett Browning in Italy
2009
Elizabeth Barrett Browning ran away to Italy after she secretly married Robert Browning, and she spent the rest of her life there. Her letters and Aurora Leigh reveal at the same time her romantic love for the country, the dramatic improvement in her health that ensued, probably linked to the liberation it represented for her, artistically as well as sexually. But they also speak of the difficult position in which she found herself as a published poet cut off from her roots and the literary resources and circles of London and the enduring sorrow of the daughter unforgiven by her father for her run away match. This tension produced the great Italian poems of her maturity but also a support o…

Autoimmune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a life-threatening, relapsing disease in which an acquired deficiency of the enzyme ADAMTS13 leads to generalised microvascular thrombosis. Survivors have a high prevalence of depression and impaired cognitive function. The aim of this study was to determine whether life circumstances and personality have an influence on the development and severity of depression and anxiety in iTTP patients and how they impact the quality of life. With validated questionnaires, we examined the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in 104 iTTP patients, as well as parameters of subjective cognitive deficits, quality of life, attitude to life a…
The influence of the out-of-family care institutions onto child’s development
2013
The article offers the analysis of the out-of-family care institutions and their influence on child’s development. Despite the fact that the institutional out-of-family care provides the subject with physical security and satisfies his basic needs it cannot provide the most important aspect of the development of the child - the close relationship with at least of one of the adults who would be able to captivate and become a legal guardian for several years.
Sporadic and Familial Variants in NF1: An Explanation of the Wide Variability in Neurocognitive Phenotype?
2020
Background: Cognitive impairment is the most common neurological manifestation in NF1 and occurs in 30-70% of NF1 cases. The onset and severity of each specific cognitive deficit varies greatly from child to child, with no apparent external causes. The wide variability of phenotype is the most complex aspect in terms of management and care. Despite multiple research, the mechanism underlying the high heterogeneity in NF1 has not yet been elucidated. While many studies have focused on the effects of specific and precise genetic mutations on the NF1 phenotype, little has been done on the impact of NF1 transmission (sporadic vs. familial cases). We used a complete neuropsychological evaluation…
System dozoru elektronicznego w Polsce – praktyka stosowania
2019
Napisania niniejszego artykułu podjęto się z uwagi na istniejący od czasu wprowadzenia ustawy o dozorze elektronicznym (2007 r.) problem stosowania kary pozbawienia wolności w systemie dozoru elektronicznego w praktyce. W Polsce z systemu dozoru elektronicznego korzysta obecnie jedynie około 30% całkowitej przewidzianej do odbywania kary w ten sposób liczby skazanych. Pomimo funkcjonowania od 12 lat ustawa wciąż wymaga poprawek. Za podstawowe dwa problemy uznaje się dużą liczbę odrzuconych wniosków o zastosowanie dozoru elektronicznego (w tym również umorzonych postępowań) oraz wnioskowy charakter tego systemu. Do zbadania zjawiska wykorzystano metody i techniki badawcze jakościowe (indywid…
The spatial distribution of population exposure to outdoor air pollution in Valencia (Spain) and its association with a privation index
2013
Objetivo: Evaluar la variación espacial de la exposición a dióxido de nitrógeno (NO2) en la ciudad de Valencia y su relación con la privación socioeconómica y la edad. Métodos: La población por sección censal (SC) procede del Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Los niveles de NO2 se midieron en 100 puntos del área de estudio, mediante captadores pasivos, en tres campañas entre 2002 y 2004. Se utilizó regresión por usos del suelo (LUR) para obtener el mapa de los niveles de NO2. Las predicciones del LUR se compararon con las proporcionadas por: a) el captador más cercano de la red de vigilancia, b) el captador pasivo más cercano, c) el conjunto de captadores en un entorno y d) kriging. Se asi…
How to address the mental health of migrant and refugee population in Europe? An integrated shift in health and social care services - MigHealthCare …
2020
Introduction Health and social care services across Europe are facing diverse challenges meeting the specific needs of migrants and refugees [1]. In this regard, vulnerable migrants fall outside mental healthcare services [2]. Based on this, Mig-Healthcare project, funded by the European Commission, explores the health needs of the migrant population in an effort to strengthen EU community-based services. Methods A total of 20 focus groups and 19 individual interviews were conducted between November 2017 and April 2018 with different stakeholders involved in the provision of health and social care to the migrant population in the 10 countries (Greece, France, Malta, Germany, Austria, Italy,…
Respuesta cardiovascular al estrés en pacientes con epilepsia farmacorresistente: datos preliminares
2021
El estrés es un factor de riesgo para las enfermedades cardiovasculares en la población general. La epilepsia se ha considerado un modelo adecuado de estrés crónico, con mayor incidencia de mortalidad cardiovascular que la población general. Este estudio proporciona datos preliminares sobre la respuesta cardiovascular ante un estresor cognitivo y una evaluación neuropsicológica en pacientes con epilepsia, explorando las relaciones entre la respuesta cardiovascular y el rendimiento cognitivo dependiendo del hemisferio responsable de la epilepsia. Treinta y cinco pacientes con epilepsia farmacorresistente, 17 con el área epileptógena(AE) en el hemisferio izquierdo (LH) y 18 con AE en el hemis…
Less Effort, Better Results: How Does Music Act on Prefrontal Cortex in Older Adults during Verbal Encoding? An fNIRS Study
2014
Several neuroimaging studies of cognitive aging revealed deficits in episodic memory abilities as a result of prefrontal cortex (PFC) limitations. Improving episodic memory performance despite PFC deficits is thus a critical issue in aging research. Listening to music stimulates cognitive performance in several non-purely musical activities (e.g., language and memory). Thus, music could represent a rich and helpful source during verbal encoding and therefore help subsequent retrieval. Furthermore, such benefit could be reflected in less demand of PFC, which is known to be crucial for encoding processes. This study aimed to investigate whether music may improve episodic memory in older adult…
