Rites funéraires (eTalks)

La mort est au centre de toutes les sociétés. Quelles que soient les procédures funéraires suivies - de la crémation du cadavre à l'embaumement le plus sophistiqué -, la mort fait l'objet de traitements obéissant aux conceptions que les sociétés se font de la mort elle-même, du devenir du défunt et des relations que les vivants entretiennent avec ce dernier. Si la mort donne lieu à des rites funéraires fort variés, ceux-ci partagent cependant des fonctions communes: prendre acte d'une rupture tout en la dissolvant dans le temps long d'une transition, créer un espace dans le temps ordinaire continu, recomposer du lien social là où la mort a imposé un vide.... Etudier les rites funéraires, c'est donc s'intéresser aux réponses culturelles développées par les êtres humains face à la mort biologique, s'interroger sur les pratiques mises en place pour accompagner les défunts, mais aussi aborder la question du deuil et de la séparation des vivants d'avec leurs morts. -- Trois dimensions Pour transmettre ces connaissances, une nouvelle forme de communication multimédia a été mise au point au sein d'une équipe interdisciplinaire sciences humaines-informatique : «les eTalks», un nouveau nom que nous nous permettons d'utiliser désormais en français. Cette nouvelle forme est décrite plus bas. Quant à leur contenu, les eTalks proposés sont issus de deux cycles de formation continue organisés par l'Université de Lausanne et la Haute école pédagogique du canton de Vaud en 2010 et 2012. Les conférences, données par des professeurs d'université, de Hautes Ecoles ou par des praticiens, s'adressaient à un public provenant d'horizons professionnels très variés (enseignants, agents funéraires, membres du corps médical, représentants des communautés religieuses, etc.). Il est donc à relever que les genres littéraires de ces e-talks varient, depuis la communication académique standard, jusqu'aux témoignages de professionnels engagés sur le terrain. -- Pour des raisons de clarté, nous avons regroupé les eTalks en trois sous-thèmes: -- 1. A la découverte des cultures funéraires Génératrice de culture depuis la préhistoire, la mort suscite des attitudes et des pratiques diversifiées selon les époque et les sociétés. Les eTalks regroupés ici visent à présenter et à expliquer des pratiques funéraires développées dans trois traditions religieuses distinctes - l'Egypte ancienne, le monde réformé (du XVIe - XIXe siècle) et l'islam - et invitent ainsi à comparer des usages provenant d'horizons culturels très différents. -- 2. Rites funéraires sur le terrain Dans nos sociétés très institutionnalisées, la mort et les demandes de rites funéraires qui en découlent ont aussi un impact au sein des établissements professionnels que l'on fréquente à différentes étapes de nos vies. Les eTalks regroupés ici s'intéressent aux rites funéraires et à la gestion du deuil dans des institutions telles que l'école, les établissements médico-sociaux, le monde du travail et les pompes funèbres. Ils joignent des recherches menées sur le terrain et rendent compte des expériences vécues par les acteurs institutionnels confrontés à la mort. -- 3. Rites funéraires contemporains Certains déplorent la déperdition des rites funéraires dans nos sociétés contemporaines. Mais en est-il vraiment ainsi ? N'assiste-t-on pas aujourd'hui à une revitalisation des formes rituelles que ce soit à travers la reélaboration de pratiques anciennes ou la création de nouveaux rites ? Les eTalks regroupés ici démontrent en tous les cas une grande vitalité rituelle que ce soit par le biais de la réinterprétation et de l'adaptation des traditions religieuses ou de la créativité dont témoignent des non-croyants. Ils indiquent qu'après un temps marqué par l'éloignement de la mort, nous sommes peut-être engagés dans des formes multiples de réappropriation de cette dernière.

A sure house studies on the dynastic promise to David in the books of Samuel

The dissertation studies the texts mentioning or alluding to the dynastic promise to David in the books of Samuel; in the concluding further perspectives it also overviews the occurrences of the promise in the books of Kings; in the appendix, it comments on the "Law of the King" in Deut 17,14-20, the last verse of which may contain an allusion to the Davidic promise. The study engages with recent discussion on the history of the text of 2 Sam 7. In a detailed textual commentary, it treats with all the differences between the main textual witnesses of the chapter, and apart from the evaluation of the individual variants, it attempts to answer the question whether the differences are due exclusively to the process of transmission, or they are of literary character. Special attention is paid to the value of 1 Chr 17 for the reconstruction of the oldest text of 2 Sam 7; the author hopes that the conclusions of this part of the dissertation may prove to be of some importance for a more general study of the reception of Samuel in Chronicles. The subsequent literary analysis of 2 Sam 7 and the other passages referring to the dynastic promise to David leads to two alternative datings of Nathan's oracle and consequently two alternative redactional hypotheses trying to give account of the emergence of the examined passages. In the concluding perspectives, the function of the promise in Samuel is compared with the occurrences of the motif in Kings; this comparison leads to tentative conclusions concerning the development of the relation of the two books.

Le(s) récit(s) dit de l'instauration de la monarchie en 1 Samuel

(Résumé de l'ouvrage) The present debate on the so-called "Deuteronomistic History" has become quite confusing and in recent years more and more scholars are inclined to deny the existence of a Deuteronomistic History as elaborated by Martin Noth or at least to modify this thesis radically. The contributions in this volume reflect the present state of discussion about the Deuteronomistic History. With one exception they have all been presented and discussed in three special sessions dedicated to "Deuteronomism" during the SBL International Meeting in Lausanne (July 1997). Three topics were treated: "The Future of the Deuteronomistic History", "Identity and Literary Strategies of the Deuteronomists", "Deuteronomism and the Hebrew Bible". The contributors are: R. Albertz, A.G. Auld, M. Bauks, W. Dietrich, D. Edelman, F. Garcia Lopez, E.A. Knauf, G. Knoppers, S.K. McKenzie, C. Nihan, T.C. Römer, N.H. Rösel, J. Van Seters and J. Vermeylen. Each contribution offers a valuable entry into one of the most important discussions of Old Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century.

A case of oesophageal cancer limited to the mucosa and submucosa

The authors report a case of an oesophageal cancer limited to the mucosa and the submucosa. This case is interesting because of its long history for more than 18 months, the difficulty of fiberoptic diagnosis and the diagnostic value of rigid instruments completed via vital staining by o-toluidine.

Respiratory muscle training enhances maximal minute ventilation and forced vital capacity in adolescent athletes.

Introduction. Respiratory difficulties in athletes are common, especially in adolescents, even in the absence of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Immaturity of the respiratory muscles coupling at high respiratory rates could be a potential mechanism. Whether respiratory muscle training (RMT) can positively influence it is yet unknown. Goal. We investigate the effects of RMT on ventilation and performance parameters in adolescent athletes and hypothesize that RMT will enhance respiratory capacity. Methods. 12 healthy subjects (8 male, 4 female, 17±0.5 years) from a sports/study high school class, competitively involved in various sports (minimum of 10 hours per week) underwent respiratory function testing, maximal minute ventilation (MMV) measurements and a maximal treadmill incremental test with VO2max and ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) determination. They then underwent one month of RMT (4 times/week) using a eucapnic hyperventilation device, with an incremental training program. The same tests were repeated after RMT. Results. Subjects completed 14.8 sessions of RMT, with an increase in total ventilation per session of 211±29% during training. Borg scale evaluation of the RMT session was unchanged or reduced in all subjects, despite an increase in total respiratory work. No changes (p>0.05) were observed pre/post RMT in VO2max (53.4±7.5 vs 51.6±7.7 ml/kg/min), VT2 (14.4±1.4 vs 14.0±1.1 km/h) or Speed max at end of test (16.1±1.7 vs 15.8±1.7 km/h). MVV increased by 9.2% (176.7±36.9 vs 192.9±32.6 l/min, p<0.001) and FVC by 3.3% (6.70±0.75 vs 4.85±0.76 litres, p<0.05). Subjective evaluation of respiratory sensations during exercise and daily living were also improved. Conclusions. RMT improves MMV and FVC in adolescent athletes, along with important subjective respiratory benefits, although no changes are seen in treadmill maximal performance tests and VO2max measurements. RMT can be easily performed in adolescent without side effects, with a potential for improvement in training capacity and overall well-being.

Late Jurassic oceanic crust and Upper Cretaceous Caribbean plateau picritic basalts exposed in the Duarte igneous complex, Hispaniola

Four distinct rock units have been recognized near El Aguacate, in the Janico-Juncalito-La Vega area of the Duarte complex (Dominican Republic): (1) serpentinites crosscut by numerous diabasic dikes, (2) basalts interbedded with Late Jurassic ribbon cherts, (3) picrites and ankaramites relatively enriched in incompatible trace elements, and (4) amphibolites and gneissic amphibolites chemically similar to Oceanic Plateau Basalts. Similar Ar-Ar ages of late magmatic amphibole from a picrite, and hornblende from an amphibolite (86.1 +/- 1.3 Ma and 86.7 +/- 1.6 Ma, respectively), suggest that the Duarte picrites are contemporaneous with the Deep Sea Drilling Program Leg 15 and Ocean Drilling Program Leg 126 basalts drilled from the Caribbean oceanic plateau. These basalts are associated with sediments containing Late Cretaceous faunas. Sr, Nd, and Pb data show that enriched picrites and amphibolites are isotopically similar to mafic lavas from previously described Caribbean plateau and Galapagos hotspot basalts. Major element, trace element, and lead isotopic features of Late Jurassic basalts and diabases are consistent with those of normal oceanic crust basalt. However, these basalts differ from typical N-MORB because they have lower epsilon Nd ratios that plot within the range of Ocean Island Basalts. These rocks appear to represent remnants of the Caribbean Jurassic oceanic crust formed from an oceanic ridge possibly close to a hotspot. Later, they were tectonically juxtaposed with Late Cretaceous slices of the Caribbean-Colombian plateau.

Deep accidental hypothermia with core temperature below 24°c presenting with vital signs.

Abstract Pasquier, Mathieu, Noemi Zurron, Barbara Weith, Pierre Turini, Fabrice Dami, Pierre-Nicolas Carron, and Peter Paal. Deep accidental hypothermia with core temperature below 24°C presenting with vital signs. High Alt Med Biol. 15:58-63, 2014.-Background: According to the Swiss hypothermia clinical staging, patients with stage III are unconscious with preserved vital signs, with core temperature usually between 24° and 28°C. With stage IV, vital signs are absent with core temperature <24°C. Aims: To describe a patient presenting with HT stage III with vital signs but a core temperature of <24°C, and to search for similar patients in the medical literature. Materials and methods: MEDLINE was used to search for cases of deep accidental hypothermia (<24°C) and preserved vital signs. Results: We found 22 cases in addition to our case (n=23). Median age was 44 years (IQR 36; range 4-83) and median core temperature 22°C (IQR 1.7; 17-23.8). Vital signs were often minimal. Seven patients developed ventricular fibrillation (VF). Twenty patients survived with excellent neurological outcome. Conclusions: Vital signs can be present in hypothermic patients with core temperature <24°C. In deeply hypothermic patients, a careful check and prolonged check of vital functions should be made, as vital signs may be minimal. The clinical Swiss staging remains valuable in the prehospital evaluation of hypothermic patients; its correlation with core temperature should be better defined.
