Book excerpt: Les habiletés de langage peuvent changer différemment avec l'âge et les pathologies. Des mesures captées dans le discours naturel pourraient aider au dépistage de la maladied'Alzheimer. De récentes revues systématiques de la littérature font cependant état d'une telle hétérogénéité des méthodologies qu'il est difficile-d'en tirer des mesures cibles pour une application clinique. On y recommande des recherches sur une tâche standardisée de description d'images, pourvue de normes, en minimisant la cotation subjective pa l'automatisation des analyses. L'objectif de ce mémoire était d'examiner la relation de l'âge de sujets sans trouble cognitif avec des mesures d'évaluation semi-automatisées du discours lors d'une tâche standardisée de description d'images. Nous avons évalué 40 sujets de 31 à 91 ans. Le test de description d'images était le Montreal Assessment of Connected Speech (MACS). Les transcriptions ont été analysées par le logiciel Computerized Language Analysis (CLAN), fournissant 26 mesures que nous avons classées en domaines de production de la parole, fluidité, contenu sémantique, contenu lexical, et complexité syntaxique. Nos résultats montrent que l'âge est significativement associé à des modifications d'une ou plusieurs mesures dans tous ces domaines. On note par exemple davantage d'erreurs phonologiques, une baisse de la densité des idées, moins de verbes par énoncé, plus de pronoms et moins de noms. Parmi les mesures non corrélées avec l'âge, on relève le débit et la longueur moyenne d'énoncé (LME). Nos résultats concordent partiellement avec ceux de la littérature comparable (densité d'idées ; débit; LME). Nous concluons que ce protocole peut révéler des mesures du discours sensibles au vieillissement normal, qui seront à confirmer avec davantage de sujets et dans des études longitudinales. Sa passation auprès de la population atteinte de la maladie d'Alzheimer permettra d'identifier les mesures différant de la population saine, pour contribuer au dépistage et au suivi de la maladie.

Download or read book Towards a Psychosomatic Conception of Hypochondria written by Martine Derzelle and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rigorous and groundbreaking study. Martine Derzelle is the first researcher to approach hypochondria as a relational pathology. Martine Derzelle is the first researcher to approach hypochondria as a relational pathology. The author tackles a subject that has puzzled care professionals for decades: hypochondria. Martine Derzelle confronts all specialists (psychotherapists, psychiatrists, doctors, psychosomaticians) with the paradox of this pathology and the theoretical void on which the approach to those patients who express a suffering of various kinds has stood for more than a century. In the first part, the author highlights the lack of theoretical elaboration on hypochondria in the existent literature; in the second part, on the basis of clinical examples, she analyzes the nature of the disease, and then offers a completely innovative theoretical elaboration. Finally, in the third part, she proposes a new and specific approach to treating this pathology at both the theoretical and clinical levels within the framework of psychoanalysis and implementing key concepts from relational psychosomatics.

Download or read book Expanding the Lexicon written by Sabine Arndt-Lappe and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of new lexical units and patterns has been studied in different research frameworks, focusing on either system-internal or system-external aspects, from which no comprehensive view has emerged. The volume aims to fill this gap by studying dynamic processes in the lexicon – understood in a wide sense as not being necessarily limited to the word level – by bringing together approaches directed to morphological productivity as well as approaches analyzing general types of lexical innovation and the role of discourse-related factors. The papers deal with ongoing changes as well as with historical processes of change in different languages and reflect on patterns and specific subtypes of lexical innovation as well as on their external conditions and the speakers’ motivations for innovating. Moreover, the diffusion and conventionalization of innovations will be addressed. In this way, the volume contributes to understanding the complex interplay of structural, cognitive and functional factors in the lexicon as a highly dynamic domain.

If the charming new resident is who he claims to be, why does he look exactly like a man who died sixty years ago? From the acclaimed, bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, Three Things About Elsie “breathes with suspense, providing along the way piercing, poetic descriptions, countless tiny mysteries, and breathtaking little reveals…a rich portrait of old age and friendship stretched over a fascinating frame” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). This is an “amusing and heartbreaking” (Publishers Weekly) story about forever friends on the twisting path of life who come to understand how the fine threads of humanity connect us all.

Download or read book Political Responsibility for a Globalised World written by Ernst Wolff and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to reflect on the complex practice of responsibility within the context of a globalised world and contemporary means of action. Levinas' exploration of the ethical serves as point of entry and is shown to be seeking inter-cultural political relevance through engagement with the issues of postcoloniality and humanism. Yet, Levinas fails to realise the ethical implications of the inevitable instrumental mediation between ethical meaning and political practice. With recourse to Weber, Apel and Ricoeur, Ernst Wolff proposes a theory of strategic co-responsibility for the uncertain global context of practice.
Download or read book Vulnerable written by Colleen M. Flood and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some. Published in English with some chapters in French.
