Today, at the time of radical social, cultural, and spiritual change, the Church and its institutions are returning to the question of their original identity as revealed in the Gospel and how to live and realize their identity in the modern world of newness. Our contribution addresses this question through the example of the Congregation of the Mission. The first part analyses the notion of identity, which, in the case of human identity (individual or collective), is not a static but a temporally dynamic concept. P. Ricœur characterizes this identity as ipseity, i.e., creative fidelity, characterized by the fact that it re-creates itself in time, without denying its origin but recreating it in ever new forms. Identity does not limit man but enables him to create himself anew. Man’s identity is, therefore, the fundamental form and attitude of his spirit, which he creates as he lives and creates himself over time. St. Vincent, who founded the Congregation of the Mission in the spirit of Jesus Christ to preach the good news to the poor, sees its fundamental characteristics in its Christocentricity, its “eccentric” serving, its spirituality of incarnation, and in bringing mercy. In the context of contemporary European society, which is secularised and confronted with emerging digital technology, the Congregation of the Mission lives its original spirituality as caritas in relation to man and as the mysticism of charity in relation to God. The work of the Vincentian missionary is not the result of human economy but of God’s incalculable and mysterious economy.

The present study evaluated simulated, hands on foodservice training delivered through smart glasses compared to passive, strictly video-based training. Handwashing performance variables, including frequency and efficacy, were measured along with post-training reactions. Participants in the strictly video-based group (N = 24) were four times more likely to wash hands than the smart glasses group (N = 25), (95% CI: 1.129 - 14.175). This research highlights how simulation training of handwashing with smart glasses can result in poorer learning outcomes compared to traditional training methods, potentially due to the psychological effects of hand cleansing. The observed training outcomes may also show the need to improve smart glasses-based training by finding ways to decrease attention demands and implementing augmented reality intelligence systems that can enforce training outcomes. Future research should utilize longitudinal studies to determine the impact of smart glasses-based training on food safety behavior habit formation. La présente étude a évalué une formation en service alimentaire active et appliquée, livrée par l’entremise de lunettes intelligentes, comparativement à une formation passive strictement basée sur la vidéo. Des variables de rendement relatives au lavage des mains ont été mesurées, y compris la fréquence et l’efficacité. Les participants du groupe dont la formation était strictement basée sur la vidéo (N = 24) étaient quatre fois plus susceptibles de se laver les mains que les participants du groupe aux lunettes intelligentes (N = 25), (95 % IC : 1,129 – 14,175). Les résultats soulignent que la formation par lunettes intelligentes dans laquelle les participants s’exercent à se laver les mains peut entraîner de moins bons résultats d’apprentissage que les méthodes de formation traditionnelles. Cela peut être dû à : a) la nature du contenu pédagogique, dans lequel la mémoire prospective intervient, comparativement à des études préalables avec l’apprentissage incarné et les lunettes intelligentes, qui ont évalué la mémoire rétrospective et les fonctions motrices, ou b) aux effets psychologiques sur la mémoire dont le groupe aux lunettes intelligentes aurait fait l’expérience durant la formation. Des études futures pourraient explorer l’effet de la formation par simulation à l’aide de lunettes intelligentes sur d’autres tâches de service alimentaire.

The long-term course of bronchial foreign body retention is unknown. This article reports 2 cases with late diagnosis and their progression. In the first case, a transcutaneous eviction of the foreign body occurred. Migration through the lung and the muscular wall might have been facilitated by cough and the elongated shape of the foreign body. In the second case, retention of the foreign body produced bronchiectasis. Given the impossibility of extraction and the localized, symptomatic, and invalidating lung complications, lobectomy was performed. Surgical indications after foreign body inhalation remain exceptional and are not frequently reported in the literature., (Copyright © 2011. Published by Elsevier SAS.)
