Early Holocene ritual complexity in South America: the archaeological record of Lapa do Santo (east-central Brazil)
2016
Early Archaic human skeletal remains found in a burial context in Lapa do Santo in east-central Brazil provide a rare glimpse into the lives of hunter-gatherer communities in South America, including their rituals for dealing with the dead. These included the reduction of the body by means of mutilation, defleshing, tooth removal, exposure to fire and possibly cannibalism, followed by the secondary burial of the remains according to strict rules. In a later period, pits were filled with disarticulated bones of a single individual without signs of body manipulation, demonstrating that the region was inhabited by dynamic groups in constant transformation over a period of centuries.
The Maya wall paintings from Chajul, Guatemala
2020
The recent renovation of a house in Chajul in western Guatemala has revealed an unparalleled set of wall paintings, most probably from the Colonial period (AD 1524–1821). The iconography of the murals combines pre-Columbian elements with imported European components in a domestic rather than a religious setting, making them a unique example of Colonial-period art. Here, the authors present the results of iconographic, chemical and radiocarbon analyses of the Chajul house paintings. Dating to the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries AD, the paintings may be connected to a revival of the local religious organisation (cofradías) in the context of waning Spanish colonial control.

Successive education reforms of advanced-level music teaching have greatly increased the workload of future professionals. However, these reforms have not brought about curricular changes in the work situation, clearly related to teaching at different levels. This article offers a comparative analysis of the curricula of the different autonomous communities, and concludes with a number of suggestions on how to improve educational training for clarinet graduates.

Bioethics and neuroethics
2019
Neuroethics officially appeared at the start of the 21st century due to the progress made by the neurosciences, as an applied ethics related to bioethics, but also as an independent discipline in its own right. As an applied ethics, it tackles issues bordering on bioethics. As independent neuroethics, it deals with established philosophical problems from a neuroscientific standpoint in the broader sense. It involves two central questions: the design of a framework in which to select, interpret and integrate data from neuroscience on morality and outlining the appropriate method or methods for this new branch of knowledge. In both cases, most neuroethicists curiously claim to take a naturali…
Using Recorded Audio Feedback in Cross-Cultural e-Education Environments to Enhance Assessment Practices in a Higher Education
2018
Providing feedback to learners on their writing assignments is perhaps one of the most important and time-consuming tasks that a supervisor performs. In e-Education environments, giving feedback becomes more challenging because there are often no possibilities for face-to-face discussions with learners. Typically, a supervisor provides comments to learners in written form via email; however, the use of recorded audio feedback (RAF) in e-Education environments has become a viable alternative. The purpose of this case study was to examine learners’ perceptions of RAF and written feedback for their assignments at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) and at Keio University SFC (Japan). Formati…

2020
Resume Objectifs 1) Dans un premier temps, nous presenterons une traduction synthetique de l’Echelle de Relation d’Objet et de Cognition Sociale de la forme dite « G » ou globale (SCORS-G) telle qu’elle a ete concue par Westen en 1985 et qui est basee a la fois sur l’experience clinique, la recherche et la theorie. Le codage peut se faire a partir de narratifs issus d’entretiens cliniques, d’entretiens de recherche, des recits de reve ou des recits du Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). L’auteur a identifie plusieurs domaines distincts — tels que la complexite des representations des personnes, la tonalite affective des representations des personnes, l’investissement emotionnel dans les relat…
Attachement narratif, fonction réflexive et régulation émotionnelle chez des sujets déprimés
2014
Resume La theorie de l’attachement et ses differents developpements dans le domaine de l’attachement adulte proposent un paradigme novateur pour etudier les processus mentaux sous-jacents aux representations d’attachement a travers les formes d’enonciation du recit et la mise en forme des experiences subjectives. L’objectif de cette etude etait de rechercher des profils particuliers du discours des personnes deprimees a travers une procedure d’analyse des entretiens semi-structures, inspiree du paradigme de l’attachement (Edicode). Vingt-trois femmes deprimees et 20 femmes consultant dans le cadre d’un suivi de prevention lie a un antecedent de melanome ont participe a un entretien clinique…
Reconnaissance de l’émotion faciale et schizophrénie
2009
Resume La schizophrenie se caracterise par une large gamme de deficits dans les competences interpersonnelles. Une maniere d’aborder ces deficits consiste naturellement a explorer la capacite des patients schizophrenes a traiter des stimuli dont l’importance psychosociale est averee : les visages, par exemple.

Ces difficultes ont ete mises en evidence dans des paradigmes varies, incluant des tests de reconnaissance d’identite, d’emotion ou d’âge. L’etendue de ces troubles suggere l’alteration d’un mecanisme de traitement commun a tous les t…
