Neuropathies diabétiques: tableaux cliniques, détection précoce et appel au spécialiste [Diabetic neuropathies: clinical sub-types, early detection and asking help from the specialist].

In diabetes mellitus, it is expected to see a common, mainly sensitive, distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DPN) involving a large proportion of diabetic patients according to known risk factors. Several other diabetic peripheral neuropathies are recognized, such as dysautonomia and multifocal neuropathies including lumbosacral radiculoplexus and oculomotor palsies. In this review, general aspects of diabetic neuropathies are examined, and it is discussed why and how the general practionner has to perform a yearly examination. At the present time, some consensuses emerge to ask help from the specialist when faced to other forms of peripheral neuropathies than distal symmetrical DPN.

Implantação de Help Desk na Universidade de Cabo Verde-Campus do Palmarejo: uma Proposta de Organização

O presente projecto visa contribuir para a resolução do problema dos Serviços Técnicos (ST) da Universidade de Cabo Verde, especificamente o Departamento de Ciências e Tecnologias - Campus de Palmarejo, no que se refere ao atendimento aos utilizadores e suporte à rede. Os Serviços Técnicos da Universidade de Cabo Verde actualmente não possuem qualquer sistema de registo, nem das solicitações dos utilizadores nem do histórico dos problemas dos equipamentos. Pelo que, pretende-se analisar e propor um software de Help Desk que sirva para a gestão dos serviços informáticos da referida Universidade. Compreende também o objectivo deste projecto propor algumas medidas que visam a reorganização do sistema Help Desk da UNI-CV, de forma a aumentar a produtividade do referido Departamento. Como ponto de partida é explicitado o conceito de Help Desk de acordo com o ponto de vista de diversos autores e efectuado um enquadramento teórico sobre Help Desk em geral, apresentando alguns conceitos aqui abordados, a fim de compreender melhor o que vem sendo feito no decorrer do projecto. Ainda será efectuado um enquadramento do Help Desk no ambiente universitário, após a apresentação da Universidade e uma breve descrição da sua estrutura, bem como uma descrição resumida dos Serviços Técnicos da UNI-CV, e das necessidades de um serviço de Help Desk moderno e eficiente, assim como uma descrição comparativa e detalhada de alguns softwares com o intuito de saber qual software poderá ser mais eficiente para a Uni-CV. No anexo poderá ser consultado as funcionalidades do software proposto. Por último é feito uma proposta, onde se apresenta algumas medidas a levar a cabo para reorganizar o sistema Help Desk da UNI-CV. Para uma melhor compreensão do projecto é feito uma ilustração que representa de forma esquemática o sistema sugerido.

Temporary help agencies and workers' occupational mobility

This paper focuses on the occupational mobility of temporary helpagency workers by studying their job-to-job upgrading chances as opposedto those who have not been hired through these intermediaries. A screeningapproach to the role of those labor brokers suggests that agency workersmay expect greater chances of upgrading from one occupation to another.Results obtained with a sample of Spanish workers show that workingthrough those intermediaries comparatively offers stronger prospects ofoccupational upgrading for workers of a medium qualification level. Thisbasic result is reinforced when the existence of self-selection into thistype of intermediated work is appropriately taken into account.

"As you receive with one hand, so should you give with the other": the mutual-help practices of Cape Verdeans on the Lisbon periphery”

Rural Cape Verdeans employ a number of mutual-help practices to mitigate the uncertainties surrounding activities fundamental to their subsistence. One of these practices is djunta mon (‘to work together’), a loosely planned, non-monetized system of allocating labor at peak intervals during the growing season. By means of djunta mon, neighbors or family members work in each other’s fields until the tasks of every landowning participant are complete. Alongside djunta mon in rural Cape Verde exist a number of other non-remunerated mutual-help practices, such as djuda mutua (‘mutual help’) and laja kaza (‘to add concrete to one’s house’). While less visible than djunta mon, they are nonetheless important in completing tasks essential to rural life in the islands. In this thesis, I will attempt to show how Cape Verdean immigrants in Lisbon have adapted the mutual-help practices of rural Cape Verde to a new, transnational context. The iterations of these practices in Lisbon differ from their rural counterparts in that they involve fewer people, occur on a year-round basis, and are concerned primarily with domestic work. They also help people find employment, access childcare, secure interest-free credit, and construct or repair houses. I will argue that extensive mutual-help ties ensure Cape Verdean migrants in Lisbon a sufficient pool of family and friends upon which they can rely for support and assistance. An additional element I will explore is the perception among Cape Verdean immigrants that these mutual-help practices seem to be occurring with less frequency. While this shift is in part due to the availability of other means of support, I will contend that the changing attitude of Cape Verdeans towards mutual help is also due to their encountering neoliberal notions of ‘self-accountability.’ Thus, Cape Verdeans perceive that their mutual-help practices are in decline, while simultaneously needing the material support that they provide.

Se former à l'entretien motivationnel pour aider ses patients à changer: Les étudiants en médecine le confirment [Learning motivational interviewing to help patients change their health-related behaviors: medical students confirm it].

At the Lausanne University, 5th year medical students were trained in Motivational interviewing (MI). Eight hours of training improved their competence in the use of this approach. This experience supports the implementation of MI training in medical schools. Motivational interviewing allows the health professional to actively involve the patient in this behavior change process (drinking, smoking, diet, exercise, medication adherence, etc.), by encouraging reflection and reinforcing personal motivation and resources.

How Does Addressing Patient's Defenses Help to Repair Alliance Ruptures in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy?: An Exploratory Study.

Interpreting or addressing defenses is an important aspect of psychoanalytic technique. Previous research has shown that therapist addressing defenses (TADs) can produce a positive effect on alliance. The potential value of TADs during the process of alliance rupture and resolution has not yet been documented. We selected patients (n = 17) undertaking a short-term dynamic psychotherapy in which the therapeutic alliance, measured with the Helping Alliance Questionnaire and monitored after each session, showed a pattern of rupture and resolution. Two control sessions (5 and 15) were also selected. Presence of TADs was examined in each therapist interpretation. Compared with control sessions, rupture sessions were characterized by fewer TADs and especially fewer TADs addressing specifically intermediate-essentially neurotic-defenses. Resolution sessions were characterized by more TADs addressing specifically intermediate defenses. This confirms the link between therapist technique and alliance process in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
