Virilité et masculinité des hommes handicapés
2011
A partir d’un travail clinique recent avec Marcel Nuss sur la virilite avec des hommes atteints d’un handicap l’auteur s’interroge sur les liens entre virilite et masculinite. Est interrogee l’identite sexuelle comme part de l’identite socialement construite dans un dispositif de sexualite. La clinique de l’homme handicape physique, suppose depourvu de virilite vient eclairer la clinique du masculin en general. Ne peut-on jouer un role masculin (par exemple dans la fonction paternelle, dans la sexualite ou au travail) sans posseder les attributs stereotypes de la virilite ?
Le corps vécu chez la personne âgée et la personne handicapée
2010
Consacre a l’experience du corps vecu chez les personnes en situation de dependance, ainsi qu’aux representations qui peuvent conduire a l’obliterer, cet ouvrage comporte une part non negligeable de temoignages. Il s’agit de stimuler la reflexion sur la difference entre l’experience reelle des personnes et celle qu’on leur prete. L’etude du handicap et du vieillissement permet par ailleurs d’interroger les limites de notre tolerance, et de l’experience meme que nous faisons de notre propre corps : comment definirions-nous notre propre intimite ? notre autonomie ?Le corps vecu tel que nous l’eprouvons n’est en effet pas reductible a la connaissance anatomique et physiologique que nous en don…
The development of achievement strategies and academic skills during the first year of primary school
2002
Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate whether children's achievement strategies would predict the development of their reading and mathematical skills during the first school year, or whether it is rather these skills that predict the changes in their achievement strategies. One-hundred and five 6- to 7-year-old children were examined three times during their first year of primary school: in each measurement, their self-reported achievement strategies were assessed, and their reading and mathematical skills were rated by their classroom teacher. Their overall cognitive competence was also measured before entry into school. The results showed that the use of maladaptive achievemen…
Trait self-esteem and claimed self-handicapping motives in sports situations
2012
International audience; We examined the relationship between physical self-esteem and claimed self-handicapping among athletes by taking motives into consideration. In Study 1, 99 athletes were asked to report their tendency to engage in claimed self-handicapping for self-protective and self-enhancement motives (trait measures). Low self-esteem athletes reported a higher tendency to engage in claimed self-handicapping for these two motives compared with high self-esteem athletes. Neither low nor high self-esteem athletes reported a preference for one motive over the other. In Study 2, 107 athletes participated in a test that was ostensibly designed to assess high physical abilities - and th…
Long-Term Functional Outcome after Unilateral Cordectomy
2010
<i>Purpose of the Study:</i> Our aim was to longitudinally analyze the vocal outcome after endoscopic CO<sub>2</sub> laser resection of early glottic carcinoma. <i>Procedures:</i> Sixteen patients treated with laser surgery for T1 or T2 tumors of the vocal cords received voice therapy and were examined 1, 2, 3, 4.5, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Besides videolaryngostroboscopy, each examination included history, phonetogram of the speaking and the singing voice, language-specific hoarseness diagram and a questionnaire (Voice Handicap Index 12 in German). <i>Results:</i> Objective parameters demonstrated a broad variability with a slight ten…
Treatment of central and sensorineural tinnitus with orally administered Melatonin and Sulodexide: personal experience from a randomized controlled s…
2008
Since very little is understood about the exact aetiology of tinnitus, this has made treatment of the condition difficult. Even though approximately 10-15% of the general population suffer from tinnitus, only 2% consider it serious enough to warrant any treatment. The main problem arising from tinnitus is the disturbance it causes not only in day to day life but also in sleep, leading to fatigue and general discomfort. The present study focused on the effect of Melatonin in conjunction with Sulodexide as a treatment method for tinnitus. Overall, 102 patients suffering from tinnitus were evaluated in a prospective randomised controlled study conducted in a tertiary care ENT department. After…
Train in Vain: The role of the self in claimed self-handicapping strategies
2012
International audience; Two field studies investigate the role of self in the tendency of athletes to engage in claimed handicapping strategies during training (anticipatively claiming that handicaps may interfere with their performance). Study 1 tested the relationship between trait self-esteem and athletes’ engagement in claimed self-handicapping. As hypothesized, low physical self-esteem athletes claimed more handicaps than high physical self-esteem athletes. For stronger evidence for the causal role of the self, Study 2 tested whether securing athletes’ self-worth through self-affirmation would lead to decreased claimed self-handicapping by using a mixed model design that allows for bot…
L'éducation inclusive en Afrique subsaharienne: de la préconisation internationale à la mise en oeuvre
2020
L'année 2020 est indiquée sur la couverture alors que l'année 2019 est indiquée sur la page de garde; International audience; L'éducation inclusive consiste à ce que tous les enfants et les jeunes, malgré leurs différences puissent avoir les mêmes opportunités et possibilités d'apprentissage quel que soit le type d'écoles. Cependant, l'on peut interroger sur l'appropriation de ce concept concernant les élèves en situation de handicap et ses modalités de mise en œuvre en Afrique subsaharienne. Cet article présente les résultats d'enquêtes conduites en Éthiopie et au Cameroun.
Étude comparative des politiques éducatives d'inclusion en France et en Afrique subsaharienne
2010
Ce travail présente un projet de recherche, en cours de réalisation, sur la comparaison entre les politiques éducatives d'inclusion des enfants en situation d'handicap en France et dans deux pays d'Afrique subsaharienne : l'Éthiopie et le Cameroun. Il s'intéresse à l'étude mécanismes mis en place par ces politiques nationales pour favoriser l'insertion, le développement et la réussite scolaire de ces enfants. Les résultats de l'étude exploratoire réalisée en Éthiopie ont montré que l'appropriation du concept d'éducation inclusive et la mise en ouvre effective d'une politique d'inclusion connaissent des limites, en dépit de la prise en compte des besoins éducatifs spéciaux dans le plan de dé…
