Nancy Huston "entered" literature through a change of language: writing in French, and abandoning for a moment her native English, marked the beginning of her writing and later led her to question her own identity. Why leave behind her "mother tongue"? Is it possible to abandon a language, one's place of origin, forever and reinvent oneself elsewhere? The present work seeks to explore these questions based on Huston's book Nord perdu (Losing North: Musings on Land, Tongue and Self) in which the author dwells on her childhood memories in Canada and Germany and on her perception of herself as a foreigner in France. Perhaps the answer to these questions can be found in the whiteness of the snow, the landscape of her childhood in which Huston's languages murmur. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Résumé Objectifs Actualiser sous l'égide de la section os de la Société française de rhumatologie (SFR) et du groupe de recherche et d'information sur les ostéoporoses (GRIO) en collaboration avec des sociétés savantes (Collège national des généralistes enseignants, Collège national des gynécologues et obstétriciens français, Fédération nationale des collèges de gynécologie médicale, groupe d'étude de la ménopause et du vieillissement hormonal, Société française de chirurgie orthopédique, Société française d'endocrinologie, Société française de gériatrie et de gérontologie) les recommandations du traitement médicamenteux de l'ostéoporose post-ménopausique publiées précédemment en 2012. Méthodes Un groupe de travail, représentatif des spécialités médicales intervenant dans la prise en charge de ces patientes a élaboré ces recommandations à partir d'une analyse systématique de la littérature selon la méthode HAS. Discussion et conclusion Ces recommandations insistent sur la prise en charge des femmes avec une fracture sévère chez lesquelles un traitement anti-ostéoporotique est recommandé. En cas de fracture sévère, tous les traitements peuvent être prescrits ; l'acide zolédronique est à privilégier en première intention après une fracture de hanche. Dans les autres cas (avec ou sans fracture non sévère) l'indication thérapeutique dépend des valeurs de la densité minérale osseuse (DMO) et dans les cas difficiles d'outils comme le FRAX®. Tous les traitements peuvent être utilisés ; le raloxifène est à réserver aux patientes à faible risque de fracture périphérique. Le risque de fracture doit réévaluer tous les 2 à 3 ans pour décider des suites de la prise en charge. Ces recommandations abordent le choix du premier traitement et les séquences thérapeutiques.

This article presents the characteristics and results of a pedagogical intervention experience intended to improve the academic writing abilities in English of a group of university students of applied linguistics. The intervention adopted a socio literacy approach. It consisted in giving students a variety of opportunities for oral and written interaction to help them develop their abilities to write argumentative essays. To determine the impact of the intervention, we examined the interactive linguistic resources used in the essays and we conducted an open discussion session at the end of the experience. The interactive linguistic resources were not always useful for the students, although in combination with other learning aids, they raised the students' awareness of the dialogic nature of argumentative discourse. Students learned academic English expressions that they used in their oral classroom communication, although they were not always able to incorporate them into their essays. Through reading and writing students participated for the first time in the periphery of the social and discursive practices of expert members of applied linguistics. At the end, the article presents the limitations of the interventional study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: This article introduces the utilization of denim waste, obtained from local denim companies located in the city of Saltillo, state of Coahuila, Mexico, as a material for thermal insulation for dwellings. The material was shaped into panels, ensuring their functionality in such a way that dwelling residents may experience a reduction in their use of electricity by means of an insulating system that can withstand extreme outdoor temperatures, therefore, generating greater physical comfort for the dweller. Method: Each prototype was exposed to the heat produced by a set of incandescent light bulbs placed directly over the external surfaces. They were monitored for 22 hours and the heat absorption, both in their outer and inner surface, was carefully recorded with the use of thermocouples. The final temperature results were registered by using a thermographic camera. Results: The panels presented a variation of thermal efficiency of up to 66 %, compared to materials such as the CEB (Compressed Earth Block) and up to 75 % compared with the concrete block, the difference in temperature results between the panels was affected by factors like the thickness and quantity of the used material. These values allowed the selection of the most suitable panel considering that the thermal delay time was up to 20 % more efficiently, allowing to choose the panel that was displayed to have better performance. Conclusion: The insulation developed with denim waste proved capable of withstanding extreme temperature conditions. Such findings may translate into improved living conditions, for the residents of Saltillo, with the promise of better indoor temperatures. The resulting material can help maintain cooler indoor temperatures in the summer, and warmer during the winter. Also, the prototypes consume less energy resources because they´re produced from waste that is not used in any other area today and reduce pollution by the excessive industrial scrap.

The Mexican Constitution 1917's originality was that it took the land and the natural commons out of the market circuits, safeguarding them as a nation's public patrimony. For this, the constituents rescued the Spanish monarchy's tradition of public law, nourished by the persistence of community socialities. This text explains the reason for this event, anomalous in the liberal legal tradition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The text is a fragment of the official presentation speech of the final report of the Truth Commission. The author, Francisco de Roux, criticizes the acceptance of violence and barbarism in the country, and questions why the political war was not stopped and a comprehensive peace was negotiated early on. He also raises questions about the role of the State, institutions, religious leaders, educators, judges, prosecutors, opinion makers, and the media in the crisis of the armed conflict. The author invites to overcome forgetfulness, fear, and deadly hatred. [Extracted from the article]

In high-income countries, social inequalities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk are well-documented. Although Latin America has a rich history of theory and conceptual discussion regarding social inequalities in health, empirical research has been more limited. In this commentary we summarize recent empirical work on social inequalities in CVD risk in Latin America, and highlight key research needs as well as implications for prevention. Although much remains unknown about the social patterning of CVD in Latin America, the limited studies to date indicate that inequalities in CVD risk vary across populations and markers of socioeconomic position, as well as disease risk marker. The strongest social inequalities are seen among women, and in urban areas, with regards to obesity, diabetes, and diet. Few studies, though, have been conducted in some parts of Latin America, including the countries of Central America and northern South America. Vital registration systems and nationally-representative risk factor surveys can be important sources of data, as long as information on socioeconomic indicators is collected. Longitudinal studies will also be important for investigating factors driving social inequalities. As policies and prevention strategies are put into place to reduce CVD in Latin America, they must also address factors generating social inequalities in CVD risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
