L'intersubjectivité en questions : agrégat ou principe organisateur en psychologie ?

La notion d'intersubjectivité est au coeur des débats contemporains dans le champ de la psychologie. L'intersubjectivité traverse en effet les différentes approches de la psychologie, des neurosciences à la psychologie sociale, des perspectives développementales aux approches psychoaffectives de la personnalité, des contextes de l'apprentissage à ceux du soin. Cet ouvrage collectif, premier volume de la collection Actualités psychologiques, se propose de faire le point sur cette notion et d'apporter des pistes actuelles de compréhension aux enjeux de la place de l'autre et de l'altérité dans la construction du sujet. Des chercheurs de renommée internationale, de Suisse et de différents pays européens, apportent ici leur contribution, dans différents domaines de la psychologie, invitant au dialogue entre les modèles théoriques qui sous-tendent la notion d'intersubjectivité et entre les méthodologies qui permettent d'en appréhender la dynamique. Contribution exceptionnelle, cet ouvrage est à destination de tous, psychologues praticiens et professionnels de la relation, chercheurs et étudiants en psychologie ou dans des disciplines connexes. Il permet d'approcher l'intersubjectivité comme une notion tout à la fois familière et complexe, au service de la rencontre de l'autre.

Effects of Road Construction Intensity and Operations on Rural Freeway Work Zone Capacity, TPF-5(081), 2014

Capacity is affected by construction type and its intensity on adjacent open traffic lanes. The effect on capacity is a function of vehicles moving in and out of the closed lanes of the work zone, and the presence of heavy construction vehicles. Construction activity and its intensity, however, are not commonly considered in estimating capacity of a highway lane. The main purpose of this project was to attempt to quantify the effects of construction type and intensity (e.g. maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and milling) on work zone capacity. The objective of this project is to quantify the effects of construction type and its intensity on work zone capacity and to develop guidelines for MoDOT to estimate the specific operation type and intensity that will improve the traffic flow by reducing the traffic flow and queue length commonly associated with work zones. Despite the effort put into field data collection, the data collected did not show a full speed-flow chart therefore extracting a reliable capacity value was difficult. A statistical comparison between the capacity values found in this study using either methodologies indicates that there is an effect of construction activity on the values work zone capacity. It was found that the heavy construction activity reduces the capacity. It is very beneficial to conduct similar studies on the capacity of work zone with different lane closure barriers, which is also directly related to the type of work zone being short-term or long-term work zones. Also, the effect of different geometric and environmental characteristics of the roadway should be considered in future studies.

Electronic Construction Collaboration System – Final Phase, SPR RB02-008, 2014

This phase of the research project involved two major efforts: (1) Complete the implementation of AEC-Sync (formerly known as Attolist) on the Iowa Falls Arch Bridge project and (2) develop a web-based project management system (WPMS) for projects under $10 million. For the first major effort, AEC-Sync was provided for the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) in a software as a service agreement, allowing the Iowa DOT to rapidly implement the solution with modest effort. During the 2010 fiscal year, the research team was able to help with the implementation process for the solution. The research team also collected feedback from the Broadway Viaduct project team members before the start of the project and implementation of the solution. For the 2011 fiscal year, the research team collected the post-project surveys from the Broadway Viaduct project members and compared them to the pre-project survey results. The result of the AEC-Sync implementation in the Broadway Viaduct project was a positive one. The project members were satisfied with the performance of AEC-Sync and how it facilitated document management and transparency. In addition, the research team distributed, collected, and analyzed the pre-project surveys for the Iowa Falls Arch Bridge project. During the 2012 fiscal year, the research team analyzed the post-project surveys for the Iowa Falls Arch Bridge project AEC-Sync implementation and found a positive outcome when compared to the pre-project surveys. The second major effort for this project involved the identification and implementation of a WPMS solution for smaller bridge and highway projects. During the 2011 fiscal year, Microsoft SharePoint was selected to be implemented on these smaller highway projects. In this year, workflows for the shop/working drawings for the smaller highway projects specified in Section 1105 of the Iowa DOT Specifications were developed. These workflows will serve as the guide for the development of the SharePoint pages. In order to implement the Microsoft SharePoint pages, the effort of an integrated team proved to be vital because it brought together the expertise required from researchers, programmers, and webpage developers to develop the SharePoint pages.

Electronic Construction Collaboration System—Phase II, SPR RB02-008, 2010

During the first year of research, work was completed to identify Iowa DOT needs for web-based project management system (WPMS) and evaluate how commercially available solutions could meet these needs. Researchers also worked to pilot test custom developed WPMS solutions on Iowa DOT bridge projects. At the end of the first year of research, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was developed and issued by the Iowa DOT for the selection of a commercial WPMS to pilot test on multiple bridge projects. During the second year of research, the responses to the RFP issued during the first year of research were evaluated and a solution was selected. The selected solution, Attolist, was customized, tested, and implemented during the fall of 2009. Beginning in the winter of 2010, the solution was implemented on Iowa DOT projects. Researchers worked to assist in the training, implementation, and performance evaluation of the solution. Work will continue beyond the second year of research to implement Attolist on an additional pilot project. During this time, work will be completed to evaluate the impact of WPMS on Iowa DOT bridge projects.

Pilot Construction Project for Granular Shoulder Stabilization, TR-634, 2013

Granular shoulders need to be maintained on a regular basis because edge ruts and potholes develop, posing a safety hazard to motorists. The successful mitigation of edge-rut issues for granular shoulders would increase safety and reduce the number of procedures currently required to maintain granular shoulders in Iowa. In addition, better performance of granular shoulders reduces the urgency to pave granular shoulders. Delaying or permanently avoiding paving shoulders where possible allows more flexibility in making investments in the road network. To stabilize shoulders and reduce the number of maintenance cycles necessary per season, one possible stabilizing agent—acidulated soybean oil soapstock—was investigated in this research. A pilot testing project was conducted for selected problematic shoulders in northern and northeastern Iowa. Soapstock was applied on granular shoulders and monitored during application and pre- and post-application. Application techniques were documented and the percentage of application success was calculated for each treated shoulder section. As a result of this research, it was concluded that soybean oil soapstock can be an effective stabilizer for granular shoulders under certain conditions. The researchers also developed draft specifications that could possibly be used to engage a contractor to perform the work using a maintenance-type construction contract. The documented application techniques from this project could be used as guidance for those who want to apply soapstock for stabilizing granular shoulders but might not be familiar with this technique.

Se_nos gener@ mujeres La construcción discursiva del pecho femenino en el ámbito médico

El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre el impacto de los mandatos de género en los cuerpos de las mujeres en el contexto biomédico. Exploramos cómo se construye discursivamente la mamoplastia en tres grupos de mujeres: que han padecido cáncer de pecho, trans y que se intervienen por motivos estéticos. Mediante el análisis del discurso estudiamos cómo profesionales de la salud especialistas en los tres casos elaboran la distinción entre ellos, cómo otorgan diferentes grados de legitimidad a la demanda y cómo justifican si su coste se debe cubrir públicamente. Resultado de este análisis detectamos que se establecen dos fronteras entre los cuerpos susceptibles de recibir esta intervención: una relativa a la necesidad y otra a la legitimidad de la demanda.

Diseño e implementación de una Web dinámica como herramienta para el control de obras en base al coste del proceso de construcción

En la actualidad estamos sufriendo una situación de crisis económica de dimensiones desproporcionadas e inusuales, la cual está obligando a todas las empresas a globalizar en mayor medida el ámbito de actuación de sus negocios, por lo que muchas empresas que trabajaban exclusivamente en el ámbito local o nacional han tenido que expandirse hacia el exterior. Este hecho, añadido a la fortísima competencia existente en el mercado, obligará a todas estas empresas a tener que controlar en mayor medida la actividad productiva, y a hacerlo utilizando tecnologías que faciliten el flujo de la información dentro de la empresa, hagan que la distancia no sea un problema para la transmisión de esa información, y con las que todos los usuarios manejen los mismos datos. El sector de la construcción es uno de los más castigados por la citada crisis, y probablemente uno de los más retrasados en lo que respecta a utilización de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es el diseño e implementación de una web dinámica como herramienta para medir la eficiencia en el control de la actividad productiva de una empresa constructora. La manera de medir esta eficiencia será mediante la comparación mensual de los costes previstos para las diferentes obras que deba ejecutar la empresa (los cuales podemos llamar estándar) y los que se vayan produciendo realmente. La herramienta diseñada podría ir aumentando su utilidad si, añadiendo módulos mediante la ampliación de la base de datos y diseñando las pertinentes nuevas páginas web para el sitio, se usa también para otros menesteres además del control de la actividad productiva por comparación entre costes previstos y reales. Es decir, que se podría llegar a gestionar la información de todas las actividades de la empresa (compras, recursos humanos, contabilidad, gestión de calidad, etc.). Por lo tanto, una web dinámica como la expuesta en el trabajo podría servir como semilla para el desarrollo de un ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).

Improved Surgical Technique Reduces Complications at the Gastro-jejunostomy After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is one of the commonest procedure for morbid obesity. It is associated with effective long-term weight loss, but can lead to significant complications, especially at the gastrojejunostomy (GJS) Patients and Methods: All the patients undergoing laparoscopic RYGBP at one of our two institutions were included in this study, in which we compared two different techniques for the construction of the GJS and their effects on the incidence of complications. In group A, anatomosis was performed on the posterior aspect of the gastric pouch. In group B it was performed across the staple line used to form the gastric pouch. A 21-mm circular stapler was used in all patients. Results: A total of 1128 patients were included between June 1999 and September 2009, 639 in group A and 488 in group B. Sixty patients developed a total of 65 complications at the GJS, with 14 (1,2 %) leaks, 42 (3,7 %) stricture, and 9 (0,8 %) marginal ulcers. Leaks (0,2 versus 2 %, p=0,005) and strictures (0,8 versus 5,9%, p<0,0001) were significantly fewer in group B than in group A. Conclusions: Improved surgical technique, with the GJS across the staple line used to form the gastric pouch, significantly reduces the rate of anastomotic complications at the GJS. A circular 21-mm stapler can be used with a low complication rate, and especially a low stricture rate. Additional methods to limit complications at the GJS are probably not routinely warranted.

Estudi de l'efecte estabilitzador de les corretges en les cobertes lleugeres

L’acer és un dels materials més destacats dins l’àmbit estructural degut, en gran part, a laseva elevada capacitat tensional, tant en tracció com en compressió. Aquesta capacitatpermet estructures lleugeres i cobrir grans llums. En pòrtics de nusos rígids d’una nauindustrial és habitual l’ús de perfils oberts en doble T. Aquests perfils presenten una baixarigidesa a torsió i flexió lateral, el qual els fa propensos a patir inestabilitat quan es produeixcompressió en una de les seves ales en flexió, fenòmen que es coneix com a vinclamentlateral. Per aquest motiu, el càlcul en efectes de 2n ordre adquireix una importància mésrellevant a l’hora de dimensionar els elements estructurals. Un altre punt important és queels elements estructurals estan units entre ells, no treballen de manera individual, fet quecomporta un estudi més complex a l’hora de determinar les condicions de contorn de cadaelement.El present estudi pretén determinar l'efecte estabilitzador de les corretges en un pòrtic denusos rígids, i si és així, en quina magnitud pot arribar a afectar aquest grau de travat alconjunt estructural.L'Estudi s'ha realitzat seguint dues metodologies diferents. Els anàlisis estructurals parteixendels criteris indicats a les normatives d'estructures metàl•liques espanyola (CTE-DB-SE-A) il'europea (Eurocodig 3)

Mastectomy, Body De-Construction and Impact on Identity: A qualitative study

Objectives: This qualitative study aims at understanding the consequences of body deconstruction through mastectomy on corporality and identity in women with breast cancer. Design: Nineteen women were contacted through the hospital. All had to undergo mastectomy. Some were offered immediate breast reconstruction, others, because of cancer treatments, had no planned reconstruction. A qualitative reflexive methodological background was chosen. Method: Women were invited to participate in three semi-structured interviews, one shortly before or after mastectomy, and the other interviews later in their illness courses, after surgery. All interviews were transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was performed. The analysis of the first interview of each woman is presented in this article. Results: Mastectomy provokes a painful experience of body deconstruction. Even when immediate reconstruction is proposed, contrasted feelings and dissonance are expressed when comparing the former healthy body to the present challenged body entity. Body transformations are accompanied with experiences of mutilation, strangeness, and modify the physical, emotional social, symbolic and relational dimensions of the woman's gendered identity. Although the opportunity of breast reconstruction is seen as a possible recovery of a lost physical symmetry and body integrity, grieving the past body and integrating a new corporality leads to a painful identity crisis. Conclusion: With mastectomy, the roots of the woman's identity are challenged, leading to a re-evaluation of her existential values. The consequences of mastectomy transform the woman's corporality and embodiment, and question her identity. Psychological support is discussed in the perspective of our results.
