How Hand Gestures Contribute to Action Ascription

2019

This article investigates the embodied achievement of intersubjectivity by analyzing depictive gestures that are produced during the final components of the ongoing verbal TCU and extended into the following turn transition space. The depictive gestures in focus elaborate the TCUs by providing additional information on the verbal content of the turn. They may, for example, provide a visual representation of an action that is referred to in the verbal TCU, depict details that are not referred to in talk, or perform bodily enactments that model projected next actions. The analysis demonstrates that timed in this way, the gestures contribute to the multimodal action package that they are part …

Cross-linking maths: Using keynotes to structure a curriculum for future teachers

2018

International audience; The paper gives an outline of a concept for university maths teacher education, that is based on three keynotes, which are central scientific notions, history and language. Amongst other benefits, the keynotes serve as cross-links between the different courses the students go through in their studies.

Laparoscopic retropubic colposuspension for the treatment of genuine stress incontinence. long term follow up

2003

Objectives: The minimal surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence with endoscopic operation has four basic advantages compared with traditional open procedures: decreased blood loss due to better visualization of the space of Retzius, decreased postoperative pain, shorter hospitalization and faster recovery. Comparative studies have shown a higher subjective and objective cure rate for the retropubic urethropexy(Burch procedure) than for the anterior colporraphy or endoscopic needle urethropexy(1). The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, the efficacy and morbility of laparoscopic Burch procedure for the surgical treatment of genuine stress incontinence. Methods: We reviewed…

LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY IN THE TREATMENT OF VAGINAL VAULT PROLAPSE AND RECTOCELE. RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 64 CASES

2003

Objectives: To evaluate the results of the laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy using a polypropylene mesh. Methods: We performed laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy on 64 pts who presented a prolapse of the vaginal vault between the II and the IV degree according to HWS classification. The mean age was 65 (range 58-76) with variable parity. The vaginal vault prolapse was present after abdominal hysterectomy in 33 pts.(51%) and after vaginal hysterectomy in 24 pts. (38%). 7 pts. (11%) were affected by an isterocele of III -IV . 8pts(12%) presented a vault prolapse of I degree, 16pts.(25%) of II degree, 15pts.(23%) of III degree, 18 pts.(%) of VI degree.They were also affected by different degrees of cystour…

Delayed, diffuse acute peritonitis secondary to misplacement of a cystogastrostomic "pigtail" drain in an outpatient after discharge.

2017

Background and aim of the work: Pancreatic pseudocyst endoscopic drainage by pancreatogastrostomy “pigtail” drain placement is spreading worldwide, with high success-rate and low morbidity, and is increasingly performed as outpatient procedure. The paper reports an unusual very early complication of this procedure and discusses the peculiar aspects of this event in an outpatient setting. Methods: The first case of a 56-year-old outpatient developing a postoperative diffused acute peritonitis by gastric juice spilling caused by the misplacement of the distal end of two transgastric drains not reaching the pseudocyst is reported. As the case was programmed as outpatient and acute peritonitis …

Härmistetty kuolema: pelonhallintaa zombi-kuvakirjoissa

2018

Artikkeli tarkastelee zombikuvakirjojen tapoja käsitellä zombeissa ruumiillistuvaa rumaa ja väkivaltaista kuolemaa. Se keskittyy erityisesti tapoihin, joilla zombeihin liittyviä pelkoja pyritään kuvakirjoissa hallitsemaan. Kaunistavan, tieteellisiä selityksiä painottavan estetisoinnin lisäksi se tarttuu esteettisen härmistämisen käsitteeseen, eräänlaiseen naurettavaksi tekevään rumentamiseen, jonka se liittää taikauskoon ja kuvamagiaan. Vaikka esteettistä härmistämistä voidaan pitää animistisuudessaan jossain määrin primitiivisenä ja lapsellisena esitystapana, artikkeli esittää, että se on lopulta melko yleinen populaarikulttuurinen pelonhallinnan tapa. Alentaessaan ja karnevalisoidessaan y…

Estudio experimental in vitro de la unión de dos compuestos híbridos a distintos cementos de resina compuesta

2019

La actual exigencia de máxima conservación de tejido dental sano ha potenciado el uso de restauraciones prostodóncicas parciales frente a las de recubrimiento total. La ausencia de retención mecánica obliga a un cementado adhesivo de dichas restauraciones sobre los dientes. En los últimos años han surgido nuevos materiales, como los compuestos híbridos con intención de mejorar las propiedades mecánicas y estéticas de los materiales utilizados hasta el momento como son las porcelanas y las resinas compuestas. Se presenta una revisión bibliográfica de los materiales sometidos a este estudio: cerámicas dentales, resinas compuestas, cementos de resina compuesta y materiales híbridos. El objetiv…

Time of flight for photon in human skin

2016

The time of flight for photons in human skin was measured using picosecond diode laser. Two different wavelength lasers were used - 405 nm and 510 nm. A difference for time of flight in normal skin and in nevus was observed as well as a difference for different wavelength laser irradiation was observed. For 405 nm laser irradiation the difference was 41 ps while comparison of time of flights skin and nevi using 510 nm irradiation showed a result of 32 ps. Results allow to conclude that the time photon travels in skin might depend on the characteristics of the medium and wavelength of the irradiation. This can be related to known data for light penetration depth in human skin for different w…

Supercontinuum Generation and Intermodal Four-Wave Mixing in a Step-Index Few-Mode Fibre

2019

International audience; The complex spatiotemporal dynamics of nonlinear light propagation in multimode fibers (MMFs) has recently witnessed a renewed interest because of their experimental realization in emerging key areas of laser physics and fiber optics [1]. Specifically, MMFs have a number of linear and nonlinear optical properties that make them very attractive to investigate new spatiotemporal effects fundamentally different from standard single-mode fibers. These include the observation of multimode solitons [2], intermodal four-wave mixing (FWM) [3], geometric parametric instabilities [4], spatial beam self-cleaning [5], and the generation of supercontinuum (SC) light when pumping …
