This article discusses the circulation of francophone news, information, and literary content between Western Europe and North America in the nineteenth century. During this period, big metropolitan cities (Paris, Brussels, Montreal, New Orleans) were forming a dense media network. For the western Atlantic region, New York City and the Courrier des États-Unis (1828-1938) served as the hub of this network. Francophone readers on both sides of the Atlantic shared a large common corpus, including works such as Eugène Sue's Mystères de Paris (1842-1843), which was distributed in North America by the literary supplement of the Courrier. By providing a general overview of this French-speaking network, this article invites scholars to explore how texts, and literature in particular, operated through an interlinked dynamic system of publication rather than as independent unconnected works.

Cette étude explore le décours temporel du traitement attentionnel des stimuli menaçants et sécurisants chez des individus « haut trait anxieux » (HTA) et « bas trait anxieux » (BTA). Les individus HTA et BTA ont répondu à une tâche de détection de sonde (dote probe task) dans laquelle les durées de présentation des stimuli (c.-à-d., des mots) étaient de 100, 500 ou 1250 ms. Les résultats indiquent que les individus HTA diffèrent des BTA uniquement dans le désengagement de l'information menaçante à 1250 ms. Les individus anxieux auraient donc une difficulté de désengagement de l'information menaçante lors du traitement stratégique de cette dernière. Ce résultat défend l'idée que cette dégradation du désengagement attentionnel ne permettrait pas à l'individu de faire face convenablement aux situations stressantes. Enfin, l'absence de biais attentionnel envers l'information sécurisante soutient l'idée que l'anxiété est associée à un traitement spécifique de la menace. De futures recherches devront explorer si la difficulté de désengagement attentionnel peut être régulée par les processus liés au contrôle attentionnel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims at studying attenuative strategies in popular economic discourse. In particular, our attention will be focussed on some of the techniques carried out by the adversative conjunction mais into a selection of articles and interviews of the economy pages of Le Figaro. Our corpus is based on approximately 30000 tokens, collected from January 1st to January 20th 2007. On the basis of the quantitative and qualitative analysis of mais, we will thus investigate some of its realisations, not only from a formal point of view, but also examining its meanings and effects when occurring with certes. Consequently, we would put into evidence the expression of mitigation and of attenuation, as well as the perception of a certain exposure on the part of the utterer (journalist/interviewee) in accordance with his declarations. Finally, some remarks will emerge from the obvious differences connected with the two different text types. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The author reflects on the work that rural physicians in Canada do on a regular basis. He suggests that rural physicians work to the breadth of their licenses and do more than urban physicians. He argues that research has shown that cesarean sections which are performed by rural physicians who are not gynecologists or obstetricians lead to good outcomes and are safe.

The author reflects on a conference of the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada which was held in Victoria, British Columbia in 2013. He suggests that the event was organized and taught by rural doctors, which makes the information featured at the event that much more relevant. He argues that the event was enormously successful and that it will be difficult to top it at the 2014 conference in Alberta, Canada.
