Parking for Person With Disabilities, June 16, 2010

Persons with disabilities may find it challenging to fully use and enjoy their dwelling without adequate accessible parking. The State of Iowa has specific laws and regulations regarding accessible parking for persons with disabilities. Iowa Code Chapter 321L (1990); 661Iowa Admin. Code Chapter 18 (321L) (2010). In addition, there are state and federal fair housing laws that prohibit discrimination in parking for persons with disabilities – the federal “Fair Housing Act,” the “Americans with Disabilities Act” (ADA), and the “Iowa Civil Rights Act of 1965.” 42 U.S.C. §§ 3600- 3620; 42 U.S.C. § 12101; and Iowa Code Chapter 216. It may at times be challenging for a housing provider to fully understand and correctly apply all of these laws to their particular off-street parking situations and needs; however, by reviewing these laws and answering certain key questions, this paper will assist providers in achieving greater understanding and help insure greater compliance with these laws.

Valor da ultra-sonografia e da tomografia computadorizada no tratamento cirúrgico das neoplasias da glândula parótida

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o valor da ultra-sonografia (US) e tomografia computadorizada (TC) no planejamento cirúrgico das neoplasias da glândula parótida. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo de 56 pacientes portadores de neoplasias da glândula parótida (43 benignas e 13 malignas), tratados nos Departamentos de Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço/Otorrinolaringologia e Diagnóstico por Imagem do Hospital Heliópolis, Hosphel, São Paulo (1991 a 1999). Comparamos os achados por US (45) e TC (15) com os histopatológicos pós-cirúrgicos empregando-se o teste diagnóstico de sensibilidade e especificidade. RESULTADOS: Dos 45 exames de US, a consistência sólida foi diagnosticada em 33 casos (sensibilidade de 89% e especificidade de 50%) e a cística em quatro casos (sensibilidade e especificidade de 50%). Quanto à localização no lobo superficial, houve coincidência em 31 casos (sensibilidade de 91,2% e especificidade em 36,5%), e para o lobo profundo em quatro casos (sensibilidade de 40% e especificidade de 88,6%). Quanto aos 15 exames de TC, a consistência sólida foi demonstrada em 13 casos (sensibilidade de 86,7% e especificidade de 0%) e a cística em nenhum caso (sensibilidade de 0% e especificidade de 86,7%). Quanto à localização no lobo superficial, houve coincidência em um caso (sensibilidade de 20% e especificidade em 90%), e para o lobo profundo em nove casos (sensibilidade de 90% e especificidade de 20%). CONCLUSÕES: 1. A US foi o método de escolha para lesões sólidas no lobo superficial e falha no lobo profundo. 2. A TC foi o método de escolha para as lesões do lobo profundo, e falhou nas lesões císticas no lobo superficial.

L’image qui parle : comment traduire l’altérité par l’adaptation de la poésie au cinéma ?

L’aspect visuel dans les Illuminations de Rimbaud nous a amenés à nous demander s’il était possible d’adapter ces poèmes au cinéma. Il y a eu bien sûr plusieurs recherches sur le cinéma des années 20 qui exploraient la création poétique. D’autres recherches ont été menées pour trouver des traces de poésie dans des films narratifs un peu plus conventionnels. Bien que ces études soient fort intéressantes, nous voulions tendre vers une démarche plus radicale. Notre travail de recherche avait pour but de trouver le moyen de faire une adaptation de poème complètement autonome de l’œuvre originelle. Bien que nous nous soyons penchés sur les textes Surréalistes par l’entremise de Man Ray, nous avons aussi étudié des tentatives plus récentes d’adaptation de poèmes au cinéma. Nous avons découvert un lien entre ces adaptations et la notion d’altérité. C’est pourquoi nous avons décidé de traiter de notre sujet sous l’angle de l’altérité du point de vue philosophique. D’ailleurs, les trois films que nous avons retenus pour notre travail de recherche présentent des situations de marginalisation. La marginalisation est l’un des aspects de l’altérité qui nous intéressent. Le premier chapitre de ce mémoire est destiné à établir ce que nous entendons par altérité. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous abordons l’adaptation de la poésie au cinéma en lien avec l’altérité. Nous avons adapté dix-huit poèmes des Illuminations de Rimbaud sous la forme d’un scénario dans la deuxième partie de ce mémoire afin de tenter d’explorer ce que nous avons établi dans notre partie théorique.

Le cinéma documentaire comme pratique sociale et comme expérience imaginaire de sociabilité : analyse de La moindre des choses, Ce gamin-là et Le moindre geste

L'objectif de ce projet de recherche était d'approfondir notre compréhension des liens entre communauté et cinéma, rendus possibles par et pour le film documentaire, à travers l'analyse des interactions entre le cinéaste, la personne filmée et le spectateur. L'expérience cinématographique sera analysée d'une part en tant que pratique sociale à travers la prise en considération du contexte de production des films. D'autre part, le film sera aussi considéré comme expérience imaginaire de sociabilité. Les trois films de notre corpus s'intéressent à des expériences communautaires atypiques et mettent en scène des relations fragiles et précaires avec des personnes souffrant de troubles sociaux majeurs, c'est-à-dire des psychotiques, des déficients intellectuels profonds ou des autistes. C'est à partir de l'expérience de l'apparente insociabilité de ces individus que nous réfléchirons au lien d'accompagnement ainsi qu'au concept de care qui seront envisagés, aussi, comme pouvant traduire la relation particulière qui a lieu entre le spectateur et le film. En effet, le cinéma permet l'élaboration d'une expérience relationnelle construite dans les œuvres médiatiques. Le dispositif filmique donne l'occasion au spectateur d'expérimenter des postures morales et affectives nouvelles. Nous tiendrons compte, au cours de ce mémoire, de la façon dont les choix esthétiques du cinéaste peuvent éduquer et faire évoluer la sensibilité du spectateur. Nous essaierons aussi de souligner les différents jeux de pouvoir et d'influence entre les trois instances que sont le cinéaste, la personne filmée et le spectateur. Après avoir décrit le cadre et les enjeux théoriques du projet, le premier chapitre concernera le film La Moindre des choses (1996) dans lequel Nicolas Philibert filme, jour après jour, les pensionnaires de la clinique psychiatrique de la Borde. Ce film nous a servi de prétexte pour penser ou repenser la place du spectateur comme étant inclus dans la relation entre le cinéaste et la personne filmée et cela à partir de cette phrase d'un des protagonistes du film : « On est entre nous, mais vous aussi, vous êtes entre nous. » Le deuxième chapitre s'intéressera au film Ce Gamin là (1985) de Renaud Victor qui cherche à faire voir au spectateur ce que le projet de Fernand Deligny de vivre dans les Cévennes en compagnie d'enfants autistes a d'original et de particulier. Nous pensons que l'enfant autiste nous amène à dépasser nos expériences de sociabilités habituelles. Le lien d'accompagnement d'enfants autistes, puisque toujours fragile et précaire, révèle quelque chose sur nos façons d'avoir du commun. L'étude des médias et de la médiation est pertinente parce qu'elle nous permet de multiplier et de diversifier les modes de communications. Dans Ce Gamin-là, bien que les images permettent au cinéaste de rendre compte de l'événement d'un contact, l'accent sera mis sur l'analyse du commentaire de Deligny, puisqu'il accompagne le spectateur dans l'appréhension d'une réalité qui lui est étrangère. Ce film nous a aussi appris que l’étude des techniques utilisées nous renseigne sur les différentes façons de dire ou de montrer un lien communautaire, affectif ou social particulier. Le Moindre Geste (1971) qui permet à Yves Guignard, déficient intellectuel sévère, de devenir le héros d'un film, se distingue des deux autres films de par la distinction radicale entre les deux étapes du tournage et du montage. Le troisième chapitre se concentrera, d'une part, sur l'analyse de la relation qui se développe entre Yves et Josée Manenti à la caméra. Ensuite, nous verrons de quelle façon le jeu du montage de Jean-Pierre Daniel laisse une grande liberté à Yves, mais aussi au spectateur en multipliant les possibilités d'interprétations.

Alternativas productivas para el sector agrícola de Sesquilé

A partir del proyecto macro “Municipio Saludable y Polo de Desarrollo Local” se desarrolló un trabajo de campo en el Municipio de Sesquilé, centrado principalmente en el sector agrícola, en donde se identificaron ciertas características en el proceso de cultivo ejecutado por los agricultores de la zona. Dichas características dejan ver que se está subutilizando la capacidad de cultivos, así como la necesidad de cambio y/o diversificación de los productos cosechados, mostrándose esto último como una gran oportunidad para el crecimiento del sector y por ende una nueva forma de generación de empleos. Es importante resaltar que el sector tiene una gran capacidad para el crecimiento agrícola por todos los factores naturales con los que cuenta, por lo que la identificación de nuevas alternativas de cultivos podrían tomarse como ejemplo por otras zonas para su implementación, lo que permitiría fortalecer el sector en otros municipios de Cundinamarca y convertir a Sesquilé en unos de los municipios con mayor desarrollo agrícola.
