In this article, the author explores the direct links of the Russian acting and directing tradition to the Greek field as they were introduced through the Experimental Stage of the National Theatre of Greece (2001–07) and the Acting and Directing Workshop of the National Theatre (2001–2004). Both endeavours were under the auspices of the National Theatre, and were inspired, structured, and managed by Stathis Livathinos, who had studied at GITIS and aspired to create an ensemble that worked and experimented together. In this framework, Livathinos gathered a group of approximately 24 actors and 14 actors who aspired to become directors and introduced to them anew Stanislavsky's ideas and teaching as well as to the recent developments of the Russian directing and acting tradition. The Experimental Stage, during those 3 years, produced more than 10 productions, including a production of Medea in the theatre of Epidaurus. From the Workshop, which was, essentially, an MA educational programme, graduated around 15 actors and six directors – three of whom were women. This Workshop was the preamble of the National Theatre School of Directing established in 2018 by Livathinos, when he was General and Artistic Director of the National Theatre of Greece.

The article deals with the forgotten historical legacy of the distinguished Polish female piano virtuoso and composer Maria Szymanowska (1789-1831) and her inspiring instructive piano cycle „Vingt Exercices et Préludes pour le Pianoforte" (Twenty Exercices and Preludes). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L'accès aux études médicales odontologiques, pharmaceutiques ou de sage-femmes a été ouvert à des candidats n'ayant pas effectué de première année en sciences médicales depuis l'arrêté du 26 mars 1993 abrogé et remplacé par l'arrêté du 26 juillet 2010. Cette procédure « passerelles » relative aux modalités d'admission directe en deuxième ou troisième année d'études a connu différentes modifications jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Le cadre réglementaire prévoit l'accès à ce dispositif, entre autres, aux titulaires du diplôme de Master. Les psychologues (nécessairement détenteurs d'un diplôme de Master) sont éligibles à ces dispositifs permettant l'intégration aux études médicales. Les psychologues intéressés peuvent ainsi envisager la perspective d'une carrière médicale en reprenant leurs études en milieu ou fin de premier cycle universitaire. Dans cet entretien avec Jean-Pierre Bouchard, les psychologues Sarah Thierrée, Josué Masson et Théo Lemonnier échangent autour de leurs expériences. Ils présentent le dispositif, ses apports, ses limites, ainsi que les difficultés et satisfactions qu'ils ont rencontrées en empruntant cette nouvelle voie. Access to medical, pharmaceutical dentistry or midwifery studies has been opened to candidates who have not completed a first year in medical sciences since the decree of March 26, 1993 repealed and replaced by the decree of September 2, 2010. This "gateway" device relating to the procedures for direct admission to the second or third year of studies has been subject to various modifications until the decree of July 29, 2022. The regulatory framework provides for access to this device by holders according to their initial training. Among them is the Master's degree. Thus, psychologists (necessarily holders of a Master's degree) are eligible for these systems allowing integration into medical studies. Psychologists can thus consider the prospect of a medical career by resuming their studies in the middle or at the end of their first university cycle. In this interview with Jean-Pierre Bouchard, psychologists Sarah Thierrée, Josué Masson and Théo Lemonnier discuss their experiences. They present the device, the contributions, the limits, as well as the difficulties and satisfactions they may have encountered during their experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Central preoccupations of Stanislavsky's theatre practice and thought involve continuous laboratory explorations, revisions and developments. What emerges as new at one time is constantly renewed, indicating that his work of perpetual change raises the question as to what actually were the defining achievements of the Opera-Dramatic Studio. This was the last of the seven studios that Stanislavsky founded and led, or encouraged and protected under the flagship of the Moscow Art Theatre as he taught to varying degrees in each. The discussion here rejects the commonplace idea that Stanislavsky discovered the "method of physical action" in the closing years of his life, showing earlier avatars of "physical action" while unfolding its different but interconnected aspects, including "word action." Stanislavsky's comprehensive approach to acting together with his intensive research on the actor-singer, music, movement, vocalization and other components that bind opera and dramatic theatre gave the Opera-Dramatic Studio its unique identity.

To learn how to hear, to educate the ear, to develop a student’s sense of voicing and timbre in nuanced hearing – this is the first task of a pedagogue-musician, a defining pillar of his work.” These words of the great Russian musician, Grigory Kogan, shine light on the inspiring path of what it means for a teacher to simultaneously develop student’s ears and fingers with the aim of building the artistic image of a composition. Of course, such instruction requires a holistic approach and, yet some approaches from the past were anything but that. Indeed, the 19th century saw a rise in mechanical finger training, which often resulted in injuries and stultified the ear. This article analyzes these and other past trends in piano teaching and performance and their influence on the training of fingers, ears or both. In addition, it offers practical advice on how best to foster the simultaneous schooling of ears and fingers, with the goal of nurturing a complete musician. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we are looking for ways of congruence between Konstantin Stanislavsky's Method of Active Analysis and Nikolai Demidov's School, theoretically observing similarities, while also concentrating on some major differences, such as the complete initial lack of given circumstances for études in Demidov or the inceptive use of improvised speech as opposed to the given text in Stanislavsky. During one of their last encounters, Demidov shared with Stanislavsky his own thoughts related to the shortcomings of teaching the "system", while arranging a demonstration of his own latest discoveries. Apparently, Stanislavsky, who was previously against Demidov's desire to train students/actors differently, was positively surprised when witnessing the results of this new approach. Although both practitioners might have thought that a combination between the two techniques could provide a new path for the actor, probably due to Stanislavsky's health problems, such an endeavour never came to fruition. Therefore, as a prerequisite of a practical research project, briefly analysing both paths, this article aims to delineate ways towards finding out whether they can be merged into a single one and how this could be used as a brand-new rehearsing technique.

Background: This article draws on municipal, provincial, and federal archives to examine multiculturalism as an ideology, a government strategy, and a media discourse. Analysis: The author scrutinizes official and corporate forms of multiculturalism in Canada between 1971 and 2003, and develops case studies of "tempered radicals" who worked with and within small-l liberal institutions and discourses while trying to change them. Conclusions and implications: The author suggests that the keyword "shy elitism" might be a helpful tool to address the forms of credentialism and anti-intellectualism that have often confined and defined the study of multiculturalism.

The issue of dropping out of school in Cameroon has so far only focused on primary and secondary education (Ngoufo Yemedi, 2004; Noumba, 2008; Ntouda Betsogo, 2011). This study examines the factors that may be related to dropping out of university studies in the country. Its objective is therefore to examine the link between socioeconomic factors and dropping out of studies in the first cycle of FALSH at the University of Yaounde I. The study is based on a quantitative research estimate calling for the questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The results obtained were interpreted on the basis of the social theory of Baudelot and Establet (1971) and Mballa Owono (1986) and the economic theory of human capital of Becker (1964). These results show the existence of a relationship between three factors (father's level of education, socio-professional level of the father, time spent by the student in a paid job during studies per week) and dropping out of undergraduate studies of FALSH at the University of Yaounde I.

Echoing various controversies on gender and race that have arisen in the French political arena in recent years, minority knowledge has faced a new wave of strong resistance. By analyzing the rhetorical persistence of anti-minority discourse as well as its current specificities (opposition to the so-called “gender theory”, rejection of the category of race), the article shows the ongoing relevance of Colette Guillaumin’s ideas today in analyzing the rationale and stakes of this offensive. Throughout her work, Guillaumin has been engaged in reflecting on the oppositions raised by minority voices and has helped to forge the concepts targeted by the current attacks (minority, race, racization).

In diesem Artikel stellen wir eine Software vor, mit der sich Studien zu Such- und Informationssystemen realisieren lassen. Das Relevance Assessment Tool (RAT) soll umfangreiche Untersuchungen mit Daten von kommerziellen Suchmaschinen unterstützen. Die Software ist modular und webbasiert. Es lassen sich damit automatisiert Daten von Suchmaschinen erfassen. Dazu können Studien mit Fragen und Skalen flexibel gestaltet und die Informationsobjekte anhand der Fragen durch Juroren bewertet werden. Durch die Modularität lassen sich die einzelnen Komponenten für eine Vielzahl von Studien nutzen, die sich auf Web-Inhalte beziehen. So kann die Software auch für qualitative Inhaltsanalysen eingesetzt werden oder durch das automatisierte Scraping eine große Datenbasis an Web-Dokumenten liefern, die sich quantitativ in empirischen Studien analysieren lassen. In this article, we present a software that can be used to carry out studies on search and information systems. The goal of the Relevance Assessment Tool (RAT) is to support extensive research using data from commercial search engines. The software is a modular web-based software with which data from search engines can be recorded automatically, studies with questions and scales can be flexibly designed and the information objects can be evaluated by jurors on the basis of the questions. Due to the modularity the individual components can be used for a multitude of studies relating to web content. Thus, the software can also be used for qualitative content analyses or, through automated scraping, can provide a large database of web documents that can be analysed quantitatively in empirical studies.

Cet article porte essentiellement sur la vie du migrant pour études dans la famille d'accueil au Congo- Kinshasa. Cinq migrants, dont une fille, ont constitué des cas concrets, illustrant la vie que mènent la plupart des jeunes pour atteindre, un jour, la plénitude d'une vie réussie grâce à la magie d'une formation de caractère. Au terme de cette étude, nous sommes arrivé à la conclusion selon laquelle un migrant pour études qui évolue dans une famille d'accueil est correctement formé aussi bien physiquement, mentalement que psychologiquement, contrairement à celui qui a passé sa vie à l'internat, qui a été locataire et surtout, par rapport à celui qui coule des jours tranquilles aux côtés des parents biologiques. Un migrant pour études, avant de terminer son cursus scolaire, est censé être passé par des étapes extraordinaires qui l'ont préparé à affronter la vie. Ce qui atteste sa capacité d'adaptation sociale et de réussite dans la vie professionnelle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The issue of the efficacy of optimal glycemic control in the prevention of macroangiopathic complications of diabetes has been the subject of recent controversy. Although the facts are clear for microangiopathy, particularly in type 1 diabetes, they appear less certain for the cardiovascular complications of type 2 diabetes. This is due to the involvement of other cardiovascular risk factors that are very common in these patients. However, long-term follow-up studies are in favor of the interest of good glycemic control on macroangiopathic complications. The negative results on the mortality of the ACCORD study and the concerns regarding rosiglitazone led to the establishment of studies on the safety of new molecules. All this work led to the demonstration of the absence of risk of prescription of iDPP-4 and the very positive effect of certain molecules of the class of analogues of GLP-1 and iSGLT2. It is to be hoped that the recent publication of the Academy of Medicine stressing that complications of type 2 diabetes require multifactorial prevention that necessarily involves an optimized control of the glycemic balance put an end of this unnecessary and dangerous polemic.

Depuis sa création, la Vallée des Singes s’engage pour la conservation des espèces. Sur le site, une politique environnementale vise à protéger la biodiversité locale. Au sein du fonctionnement du parc, la conservation prend tout son sens par le biais des programmes d’élevage d’espèces menacées ainsi que par des études éthologiques sur les animaux captifs dont les objectifs ultérieurs sont d’améliorer leur bien-être et contribuer à la protection des espèces. De même, éduquer à l’environnement et sensibiliser les visiteurs, devraient être un des rôles essentiels des parcs zoologiques. C’est pourquoi, à la Vallée des Singes, les scolaires et le public ont accès à de nombreuses informations grâce à des ateliers, des nourrissages et des panneaux pédagogiques. Mais le rôle de la Vallée des Singes dans la conservation serait incomplet sans le travail de son association, le Conservatoire pour la Protection des Primates. Soutenant une dizaine de projets de conservation dans le monde, le Conservatoire pour la Protection des Primates est la concrétisation sur le terrain du travail fait en amont à la Vallée des Singes.

This study examines twelve lone mothers' experiences of higher education at two universities in New Zealand. Interviews illustrated that lone mothers are often constructed by society as people who deserve to feel guilt for burdening taxpayers and for raising children without a live-in father. This guilt is visceral. It is felt in and lived through bodies on a daily basis. For most of the interviewees, however, succeeding at university also prompted feelings of pride. Drawing on Elspeth Probyn's ideas about guilt, shame and pride enabled us to understand more about lone mothers' experiences of higher education. We remain less certain about guilt's affective capacity for politics in our particular case. For some mothers feeling guilt lead to a questioning of normative constructions of motherhood but for others this was not the case. It would seem, therefore, that guilt's transformative potential can be mobilized in both emancipatory and more normative ways. We also found that lone mothers engaged in higher learning occupy paradoxical space. Some become empowered to see their lives and relationships differently, from the margins and from the centre, through guilt and pride. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Résumé: Objectif: Étudier l’efficacité et la tolérance des agents anti-TNF chez des patients atteints de polyarthrites rhumatoïdes (PR) et spondylarthropathies (SpA) traitées par un même praticien, selon leur capacité à valider les critères stricts d’inclusion et de non-exclusion des études pivots. Méthodes: L’efficacité a été évaluée en cumulant les évaluations de DAS-28 VS ou de BASDAI, en quatre classes, de « très bonnes réponses » (DAS-28 et BASDAI moyens respectivement inférieurs à 3,2 et 2,0) à « échecs » (DAS-28 non améliorés ou supérieurs à 5,1, BASDAI non améliorés). N’ont été considérés comme évènements graves que ceux ayant imposé un arrêt durable des traitements anti-TNF, laissé des séquelles, nécessité une hospitalisation, ou mis en jeu le pronostic vital. Résultats: Chez les 475 patients traités par 1,3 anti-TNF pendant 28±23 mois (230 PR, 226 SpA, dix arthrites à début juvénile et neuf rhumatismes inclassables), trois fois plus de très bonnes réponses (54 % versus 19 %) et cinq fois moins d’échecs primaires (5 % versus 25 %) ont été constatés chez les 41 % de patients (43 % des PR et 40 % des SpA), qui auraient pu participer aux études pivots. Aucun des 15 décès (3 % des patients) n’a concerné ces 41 % de patients, et le taux d’évènements graves y a été moins élevé (11 % versus 16 % : Khi2 =0,0001) malgré une faible différence d’âge entre les deux groupes (53±16 versus 57±14 ans). Conclusion: La réponse aux agents anti-TNF était meilleure chez les patients validant les critères des études pivots et le taux d’effets graves était deux fois moins fréquents.
