Petit traité de désobéissance féministe. A l'usage de celles et ceux qui ne viennent ni de mars ni de Vénus

Notre société incite hommes et femmes, dès leur plus jeune âge, à adopter des caractères et des comportements stéréotypés, sous peine de ne plus être reconnus comme de « vrais » hommes et de « vraies » femmes. Ce petit traité de désobéissance féministe a pour ambition de s'interroger sur les représentations contemporaines des sexes de manière à permettre à celles et ceux qui ne viennent ni de Mars, ni de Vénus de désobéir à cette « police des genres ». A la voix de l'auteure s'ajoutent celles d'une cinquantaine de personnalités - journalistes, politicien-ne-s, écrivain-e-s, professeur-e-s, etc. -, qui dévoilent leur rapport au féminisme.

Social Determinants of Child Health in Colombia: Can Community Education Moderate the Effect of Family Characteristics?

Contextual effects on child health have been investigated extensively in previous research. However, few studies have considered the interplay between community characteristics and individual-level variables. This study examines the influence of community education and family socioeconomic characteristics on child health (as measured by height and weight-for-age Z-scores), as well as their interactions. We adapted the Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) framework to the context of child health. Using data from the 2010 Colombian Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), weighted multilevel models are fitted since the data are not self-weighting. The results show a positive impact of the level of education of other women in the community on child health, even after controlling for individual and family socioeconomic characteristics. Different pathways through which community education can substitute for the effect of family characteristics on child nutrition are found. The interaction terms highlight the importance of community education as a moderator of the impact of the mother’s own education and autonomy, on child health. In addition, the results reveal differences between height and weight-for-age indicators in their responsiveness to individual and contextual factors. Our findings suggest that community intervention programmes may have differential effects on child health. Therefore, their identification can contribute to a better targeting of child care policies.

Dion Chrysostome et Euripide : de l'usage pédagogique d'un auteur tragique

Le théâtre d'Euripide possède une importance et un statut particuliers à l'époque impériale. Ce travail examine la représentation du Tragique et de son oeuvre dans le corpus attribué au sophiste Dion Chrysostome. Il met en évidence certaines singularités du théâtre euripidéen et de sa réception : importance des personnages féminins, popularité de ce théâtre (qui était également diffusé par les spectacles de pantomimes), dimensions philosophiques et politiques, qui se prêtent à une exploitation pédagogique. La croyance populaire attachée aux mythes véhiculés par Euripide, dotée d'un aspect religieux, en fait un bon instrument pour une communication efficace, qui vise un large public.

Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia in a child: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Desquamative interstitial pneumonia is a rare form of interstitial lung disease in children. Respiratory symptoms appear progressively, are often subtle, and diagnosis is often delayed by a mean of 6 months after onset. High resolution chest computed tomography is the most sensitive imaging technique for demonstrating and identifying interstitial pneumonia. The typical histologic pattern of desquamative interstitial pneumonia, with prominent clustered alveolar macrophages, diffuse reactive alveolar epithelial hyperplasia and globular proteinaceous material, is diagnostic. Desquamative interstitial pneumonia in children can be idiopathic, though it is mostly related to an inborn error of surfactant metabolism. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the complex clinical course and pathologic findings of a 30-months-old Mauritian and Senegalese girl with idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia and multiple extrapulmonary manifestations. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of desquamative interstitial pneumonia to occur as part of a syndrome with multiple organ involvement. CONCLUSION: We believe that desquamative interstitial pneumonia is not always associated with mutations of the surfactant proteins, and can still be idiopathic, especially when occurring as part of a syndrome with multiple organ involvement, as described in other interstitial lung diseases.
