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…
Handicap et inclusion scolaire au Cameroun : ce qu’en disent les enseignants
2019
International audience; Fondée sur le principe de l'égalité des chances et sur les valeurs humaines d'équité et du respect des différences, l'inclusion scolaire s'attache " à la façon de transformer les systèmes éducatifs et d'améliorer la qualité de l'éducation à tous les niveaux et dans tous les environnements, de manière à s'adapter à la diversité des apprenants et à promouvoir la réussite scolaire " (UNESCO, 2008). Elle est prescrite comme une injonction internationale quels que soient les contextes, elle implique un changement de paradigme dans lequel les conditions de réussite dépendent de la capacité de l'école à s'adapter à la diversité du public qu'elle accueille (Dyson et al., 199…
Thresholds of handgrip strength for all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular mortality: A systematic review with dose-response meta-analysis.
2022
Background While handgrip strength is associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality, whether such associations are dose-dependent is largely unknown. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review on the dose-response relationship of handgrip strength with all-cause mortality, cancer, and cardiovascular mortality. Methods The data source included three electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus) from inception to 8 February 2022. Prospective cohort studies of healthy adults with objective measures of handgrip strength were included. Two researchers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. We used estimates regarding handgrip stren…
The design of an agent based model of human activities and communications in cardiac resuscitation
2015
International audience; Cardio-pulmonary arrest is a common emergency situation causing over 400,000 deaths per year, more than a 1000 per day, in the USA alone. The goal of this work is to develop an agent based computer simulator that will allow trainers to experiment with different communication protocols, such as those found in air traffic control. This paper describes the first step in designing the simulator development. The design is based on an analysis of communications during real life training simulations using the FIPA standard categories.
Prescription-grade crystalline glucosamine sulfate as an add-on therapy to conventional treatments in erosive osteoarthritis of the hand: results fro…
2022
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy of prescription-grade Crystalline Glucosamine Sulfate (pCGS) as an add-on treatment to conventional therapy, compared to usual therapy alone, in patients with erosive osteoarthritis of the hand (EHOA). Methods This 6-month retrospective case–control study included patients with concomitant knee osteoarthritis and symptomatic EHOA. Participants were stratified into two groups based on whether or not pCGS (1500 mg/day) was added to the conventional therapy (education and training in ergonomic principles, exercise and use on-demand of symptomatic drugs) for hand osteoarthritis. Patients were evaluated at baseline, after 3 and 6 months. Primary outcom…
Le vieillissement des personnes en situation de handicap : un regard démographique sur la Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
2018
The aging of people with disabilities has become, in the last forty years, a significant issue in the medico-social sector and also in our society. The lengthening of life is a positive phenomenon, a result of the efforts to professionalize the accompaniment of people with disabilities. Aging is a process, certainly irreversible, but natural. If a few people are the rare witnesses, in the 1980s, the phenomenon grows with time and becomes a demographic phenomenon. For the demographer, the notion of aging applies to a population and not to individuals. The observation of this process makes it possible to predict the trend of the changing needs of a population in the health, social and medico-…
Effect of Foreperiod Duration and Handedness on Simple and Choice Auditory Reaction Time Among the Older People
2017
Objectives Cognitive functions such as reaction time undergo change with aging. Given the importance of preparation in response to reaction time in various life situations, this study aimed to examine the effect of various foreperiods (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 s), and handedness at the time of simple and choice auditory reaction time. Methods & Materials The current research followed a quasi-experimental methodology and was carried out using a self-made software. The study population comprised all old people living in Ahvaz City. Of them, 30 people were selected through purposive sampling method and allocated into two groups of right- and left-handed people. Each individual was randomly teste…
The value of neutrophil and lymphocyte count in frail older women.
2013
Increasing evidence suggests that systemic inflammation is associated with many pathophysiological processes including frailty in older adults. We evaluated the relationships between white blood cell subtypes, geriatric assessment, and frailty syndrome and in particular, how they correlate with individual frailty criteria (involuntary loss of weight, low energy or exhaustion, slow mobility, muscle weakness, and low physical activity) in frail older women. There was a significant and positive correlation between the frailty score and neutrophil count, but a significantly negative correlation was found when this score was compared to the lymphocyte count. These associations were significant o…
Effects of pre- and postnatal exposure to 5-methoxytryptamine and early handling on an object-place association learning task in adolescent rat offsp…
2007
A reduction in 5-HT1A receptor response enhances learning and memory performance in rats. Pre- and postnatal treatment with 5-methoxytryptamine (5MT), a non-selective serotonergic agonist, and early handling, reduce the number of 5-HT1A receptors in neonatal and pre-pubertal rat progeny. The aim of this study was to investigate in adolescent male rats the consequences of pre- and postnatal treatment with 5MT and its interaction with early handling on an object-place association learning task, the "Can test", a motivated, non-aversive, spatial/object discrimination task. Results show that a single daily injection of 5MT from gestational days 12 to 21 (1 mg/kg s.c.) and from postnatal days 2 …
