Portrait anthropologique d’un acteur social dans une famille industrielle verviétoise (Belgique, Province de Liège) au XIXe siècle

Ce mémoire construit le portrait anthropologique d’un acteur social qui a vécu au XIXe siècle (1806-1875) dans une famille entrepreneuriale de la bourgeoisie verviétoise du textile (Belgique - province de Liège). Il s’agit d’un travail ethno-historique basé sur des archives. Le document principal est un journal personnel rédigé pendant une période de vingt ans (1843-1864) par l’acteur étudié. L’approche est ethnographique et l’éclairage théorique est transactionnaliste. Le travail décrit de façon détaillée, en s’approchant par paliers des enjeux prioritaires de l’acteur, quelques aspects de son insertion sociale, incessamment entretenue et reproduite. L’étude s’attarde à la position particulière de cet acteur né second fils dans une famille qui possède et transmet un bien industriel, et qui restera sans enfants, au moment où il agit dans son milieu local, et où interagissent, avec lui et entre eux, les membres de sa famille et ceux des familles alliées. Tous s’entrecroisent dans les horizons - tangents aux domaines du textile, des mines et de l’agriculture, des journaux, de la politique et de la religion - que sont les affaires, les oeuvres sociales et de charité. Le but de ce mémoire est de montrer qu’en s’intéressant de près aux acteurs dans les contextes sociaux de leurs vies, on peut comprendre leurs stratégies, leurs interprétations et leurs limites.

A new genus for seven Brazilian land planarian species, split off from Notogynaphallia (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida)

Special attention is given to cephalic structures of a species complex within the Notogynaphallia ( Platyhelminthes, Tricladida). Notogynaphallia muelleri is redescribed. The species possesses a cephalic musculo-glandular organ. Its glandular and muscular organization are similar to that previously observed in N. caissara and N. fita and to that herein described for N. abundans, N. ceciliae, N. ernesti, and N. graffi. Based on these unique cephalic specializations, a new genus is proposed for these seven species. Functionally, the musculo-glandular organ may be an adaptation for capturing and holding prey.

Shell utilization by the land hermit crab Coenobita scaevola (Anomura, Coenobitidae) from Wadi El-Gemal, Red Sea

We conducted a study in order to determine the shell utilization pattern of the land hermit crab Coenobita scaevola (Forskal, 1775), the only species representing the family Coenobitidae in the Red Sea. Hermit crabs were collected during July 2003 and January 2004 along the sandy shores of protected area of Wadi-Elgemal, south Red Sea. Animals were fixed in 10% formalin and transported to the laboratory where they were weighed and measured for cephalothoracic shield length (CSL) and width, left propodus length and height. Gastropod shells species were identified, weighed and measured for shell aperture width and length and shell internal volume. A total of 391 individuals were collected (219 females, 172 males) and were found occupying ten shell species, with clear significant occupation of Nerita undata. A positive relationship was obtained between the size of the shells occupied and the hermit crabs. Analysis of shell internal volume and crab dimensions demonstrated that this shell dimension constitutes mainly the determinant for C. scaevola shell utilization. With respect to the size of the animals and the occupied shell type, Nerita undata was occupied by a wide range of CSL (2.5-8.5mm). Small sized crabs (2.5-3.5mm CSL) occupied Planaxis sulcatus and Nassarius arcularius plicatus while larger specimens (8.5-9.5mm CSL) occupied Turbo radiatits, Polinices milanostomus and Monodonta canilifera. Variations in the shell occupation were also recognized among male and females. Comparisons among populational and shell use features led us to suggest the use of this land hermit crab as key-species in the preserving program of shores and protected areas, since this species is the first organism to disappear from any shore when a new tourist establishment is implemented.

Rites, cultes et Rituels ; de l’Antiquité jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Considérations et réflexions sur le déroulement, la valeur et l’importance religieuse, sociale et anthropologique des rites et des cultes de l’Antiquité Grecque et Romaine jusqu’à la naissance du Christianisme et à la société moderne.

En lisant cet extrait de journal qui ouvre le livre « Le Sacrifice humain en Grèce ancienne » de Pierre Bonnechère, on peut se rendre compte que l’homme a toujours éprouvé, face au sacrifice humain, une sorte de mélange entre horreur, mystère et attraction, une « fascination étrange » 1 qui a amené les intellectuels, les écrivains et les artistes du monde entier à chercher à comprendre comment et pourquoi, hier comme aujourd’hui, le sacrifice humain continue à être une composante des pratiques rituelles des différents cultes, religieux ou pas, puisqu’il existe toujours des réminiscences de ces pratiques.

La Réforme des soins en santé mentale en Belgique: analyse d'un modéle

RESUMO: O relatório anual de 2001 da Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), anunciou o interesse social dos problemas crescentes em matéria de saúde mental e relativo à necessidade urgente de uma extensão, como também, para uma melhor organização da oferta de tratamento. Sob proposta da Bélgica, esta observação foi traduzida em uma resolução « Mental health :responding to the call for action » (déclaração de intenção do 18 de maio de 2002). Nós notamos que certos países, como os Estados Unidos ou a Grã Bretanha transformam sistematicamente o tratamento residencial em um tratamento mais dirigido para a comunidade. Eles também se concentram na descoberta prematura dos problemas psiquiátricos. Este fenômeno de désinstitutionalisação obteve resultados concretos e traz um ganho certo, tanto para os atores do campo da saúde mental, como também para os candidatos a um tratamento. O tratamento das pessoas dentro do seu meio de vida é muito claramente reconhecido. As evoluções que marcaram os tratamentos em saúde mental na Bélgica durante estes utimos 40 anos mostram que vários paços importantes já foram feitos. A reforma tem como objetivo converter a oferta hospitalar e montar tratamentos dirigidos para e dentro da comunidade pela criação de equipas móveis que se inscrevem no dispositivo comunitário, historicamente muito activo bem que sub-financiado. A reorganização dos sistemas de tratamento está baseada na criação de redes, para construir um dispositivo flexível e contínuo que considera as necessidades dos pacientes. Esta reforma é, ao mesmo tempo, ambiciosa e complexa,. É uma visão nova, uma mudança de cultura, não só, para todos os atores da saúde mental, mas também para os pacientes e suas famílias. A reforma está baseada numa visão global e integrada que associa no mesmo movimento todas as autoridades competentes relativamente a saúde que elas sejam federais, regionais ou comunitárias.-----------ABSTRACT: The World Health Organization’s (WHO) annual report of 2001 identified a social interest for the increasing problems related to mental health and the urgent need of an extension and a better organization of mental health care. On a proposal of Belgium this statement was transformed into a resolution « Mental health: responding to the call for action» (Declaration of Intent, May 18th, 2002). Some countries such as the USA or the UK systematically dismantled in-patient residential care in favor of more community-based care and a focus on early detection of psychiatric problems. This de -institutionalization has clearly and concretely paid off and the value of bringing mental health care to claimants and treating them in their own residence was acknowledged. In Belgium, the evolutions which have shaped mental health care in the last forty years indicate that a number of important steps are already taken. The Reform aims to convert the supply of hospital care into community-based mental health care services through the creation of mobile teams which offer services in everyday life of the user. These teams take place in the community, historically highly active howbeit underfunded. The reorganization of health care system relies upon the creation of networks in order to build a flexible and continuous device which take into account user’s needs. This Reform can be seen as both ambitious and complex. It is a completely new vision, a major cultural shift for all mental health care stakeholders, but also for users and their relatives. The Reform is based on a global and integrated approach which links I, a same movement all relevant health authorities whether they be federal, regional or community. de-institutionalization – community mental health – recovery - users and families involvement - networking.
