Veettil, Prakashan Chellattan, Yashodha et Judit Johny. « Group contracts and sustainability : Experimental evidence from smallholder seed production ». PLOS ONE 16, no 8 (18 août 2021) : e0255176. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0255176.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Contract farming in seed production has played an instrumental role in bringing private investment into seed research and production. As developing countries have predominantly small and marginal farmers, the number of inefficiencies that arise from seed contractual agreements hinders producers from realizing the full potential benefits from seed contracts. We carried out an economic experiment with real producers and organizers currently engaged in seed production to analyze their preference for group seed contracts, its sustainability and welfare implications in the seed value chain. The producers are offered two types of group contracts: B and C. Contract B involves a company-organizer-seed producer group (SPG) whereas contract C removes the organizer and directly engages with the SPG (company → SPG). In the experiment, producers are asked to choose between an existing contract and either of the proposed group contracts. The experiment consists of two treatments: (i) concealed and revealed price information between agents, and (ii) presence and absence of a local organizer while making the decision. We find that the preference for group contract B is higher than for group contract C, suggesting the need for producers bargaining which can be achieved through group contract in the existing contract, Bargaining is high (6.3 percentage points) when price information is concealed. SPGs survive for about four out of five rounds and more than half of the groups (53%) formed in the first round survived throughout the five rounds, indicating a very high group sustainability.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article discusses methods to protect the rights of the assignee from the dishonest behavior of the assignor, who, when concluding the contract, has concealed the right to claim the right to claim grounds for lowering the order of satisfaction of such a claim against the insolvent debtor. It is proved that the best means of protection at the stage of concluding a contract would be to use the institution of assurance of circumstances or to establish in the contract the right of the assignee to unilaterally terminate the contract in case of subordination of the claim. If the contract does not establish mechanisms for protecting the rights of the assignee, then the optimal solution for the assignee would be to challenge the contract as concluded under the influence of a material misconception.

Bednaruk, Waldemar. « The Disease Concealment as a Premise of Refusing the Life Insurance Policy Payment in the Interwar Insurance System ». Teka Komisji Prawniczej PAN Oddział w Lublinie 14, no 1 (21 juillet 2022) : 11–18. http://dx.doi.org/10.32084/tekapr.2021.14.1-2.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In the difficult times of reconstruction of Polish statehood, having a life insurance policy that actually secured the existence of the family after the death of its breadwinner was a luxury that few citizens could afford. The burden of paying premiums was too heavy for the vast majority of society, hence the decision to take out the policy was sometimes made too late – at a time when the person concerned already knew about a deadly disease that was consuming his body. In order to obtain an insurance policy, he hid information about the disease, which in turn exposed the insurance companies to losses. They fought this practice by refusing payments to people who, by signing the contract, concealed information important from the insurer’s point of view.

ALI, NADIA BOU. « BLESSETH HIM THAT GIVES AND NOT HIM THAT TAKES : BUṬRUS AL-BUSTĀNĪ AND THE MERCY OF DEBT ». Modern Intellectual History 16, no 02 (20 septembre 2017) : 443–69. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s1479244317000294.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article discusses Nahda intellectual Buṭrus al-Bustānī’s public and pedagogic writings. It focuses on the nationalist pamphlets, the Nafīr Sūrriya, written in the wake of the first sectarian–civil war, and his translation of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, both published in Beirut in 1860. I analyze Bustānī’s politico-theological and economic thought by looking at the nexus of debt, guilt, love, and mercy that he draws out in the Nafīr. The article argues that Bustānī’s nation is inaugurated into a “guilt-history” and eternally faced with the task of confronting the mercy of debt and the un-requitable debt of mercy. Nationality in this specific sociohistorical context became a form of artifice that in a postlapsarian age requires religion, labor, and exchange to survive as a social contract. The “civil war” exemplified a return to a state of nature that could only be amended by a return to the laws of nature and the seeking of refuge under the name of one God and one religion, diyāna. The social contract, articulated in these terms, could only be sealed through the recognition of natural laws as the foundation provided by God himself, while politics remained concealed under the folds of political theology.

Texte intégralRésumé :
<p>The role of marriage and family strengthening with regard to religious commandments and ethics is not concealed from people who follow the divine commands and basic teachings of the Holy books and prophets. However, nowadays in many western societies, the principles of natural marriage are violated. The new forms of marriage are called abnormal, unnatural, and unusual forms of marriage among individuals including the same or opposite sex. Unnatural marriage can’t be classified as a natural and legal contract. Note that both natural and unnatural forms of marriage have their own principles. Therefore, the recent research aims at analyzing the main reasons against unnatural marriage using analytical and library methods with regard to the fact that unnatural marriage has threatened standard marriage and family foundation. In this research, we rely on verses of Quran. All the data have been gathered by experts in the field of family affairs especially those who witnessed homosexual marriage and observed both personal and social difficulties of homosexual individuals. </p>

Texte intégralRésumé :
Urinary incontinence is an involuntary urination (leakage of urine). About 200 million people suffer from this condition, and 60% of cases are concealed and untreated because of shame. It is estimated that an increasing number of young women and women of menopausal age will suffer from urinary incontinence. This disease occurs during the perinatal, perimenopausal period, as a result of brain damage or an unhealthy lifestyle. There are four main types of urinary incontinence: stress, urge, overflow and mixed form. Treatment is adapted to the severity of disease, its type and includes physiotherapeutic treatment (kinesiotherapy, physiotherapy, massage), pharmacological, psychological and surgical treatment. In recent years, growing interest has been observed in the noninvasive biofeedback method. The patient learns to contract the weakened pelvic floor muscles, constantly monitoring progress in treatment. She is also motivated by visual and auditory stimuli. Growing evidence confirms the effectiveness of this method, which to a large extent eliminates urinary incontinence. Nevertheless, attention should also be paid to prevention, which reduces the risk of involuntary leakage of urine.

Warchoł, Marcin. « Expropriation of real property as a collateral for an usurious loan ». Nieruchomości@ IV, no IV (31 décembre 2022) : 39–58. http://dx.doi.org/10.5604/01.3001.0016.1265.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Expropriation of real property as a collateral for a loan agreement was in practice used to exploit the debtor's coercive position or to mislead the debtor. Certainly, the real goal of the debtor was not to divest themselves of their assets or their only house or flat, but merely to obtain a loan. However, the enormous costs of the loan, over and above the interest only, deceitfully concealed from the debtor at the time of entering into a loan agreement, made it simply impossible to repay the loan and resulted in the loss of the debtor's house or flat. This huge social problem would not have transpired if not for the jurisprudence of courts of law or decisions of notaries or court en-forcement officers who often accepted non-equivalence of considerations of both the parties to a contract. Therefore, in 2020, the lawmaker rightly introduced a law whereby a greater part of such agreements is invalid. Furthermore, the so-called Usurious Loans Act of 2022 will eliminate abuses in the loan market by introducing, inter alia, a precise limit on non-interest costs and supervision to be exercised by the Polish Financial Supervision Commission (KNF).

Texte intégralRésumé :
Since 2007 Labour Code contains the definition of dependent work, which can be carried out only in labour-law relations. The Amendment to Labour Code from 2012 makes the definition more precise, when it stipulates essential elements of dependent work and designates the others as conditions, under which dependent work should be carried out. The Amendment to Employment Act changes the definition of illegal work. Illegal work is a performance of dependent work by natural person except for labour-law relation, or if natural person – foreigner carries out work in conflict with issued permission to employment or without this permission. Since 2012 sanctions for illegal work were increased. Labour inspection is entitled to impose sanctions, in case of foreigners it is Customs Office. For control purposes employer is obliged to have copies of documents at the workplace proving the existence of labour-law relation. Goal of controls and high fines is to limit illegal employment of citizens of Czech Republic and foreigners as well. Illegal work has unfavourable economic impact on state budget. It comes to extensive tax evasions and also to evasions within health insurance and social security. If a concluded commercial-law relation meets the attributes of dependent work, then it stands for a concealed legal relationship. Tax Office can subsequently assess an income tax to businessman. Labour-law relationship enjoys a higher legal protection than commercial-law relationship; nonetheless it is not suitable to limit liberty of contract in cases when it is not unambiguously a dependent activity.

Dimitrova, Marina, Nina Stobbe, H. Martin Schaefer et Sami Merilaita. « Concealed by conspicuousness : distractive prey markings and backgrounds ». Proceedings of the Royal Society B : Biological Sciences 276, no 1663 (25 février 2009) : 1905–10. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2009.0052.
Texte intégralRésumé :
High-contrast markings, called distractive or dazzle markings, have been suggested to draw and hold the attention of a viewer, thus hindering detection or recognition of revealing prey characteristics, such as the body outline. We tested this hypothesis in a predation experiment with blue tits ( Cyanistes caeruleus ) and artificial prey. We also tested whether this idea can be extrapolated to the background appearance and whether high-contrast markings in the background would improve prey concealment. We compared search times for a high-contrast range prey (HC-P) and a low-contrast range prey (LC-P) in a high-contrast range background (HC-B) and a low-contrast range background (LC-B). The HC-P was more difficult to detect in both backgrounds, although it did not match the LC-B. Also, both prey types were more difficult to find in the HC-B than in the LC-B, in spite of the mismatch of the LC-P. In addition, the HC-P was more difficult to detect, in both backgrounds, when compared with a generalist prey, not mismatching either background. Thus, we conclude that distractive prey pattern markings and selection of microhabitats with distractive features may provide an effective way to improve camouflage. Importantly, high-contrast markings, both as part of the prey coloration and in the background, can indeed increase prey concealment.

Chapman, John W. M. Richard Sorge, the GRU and the Pacific War. GB Folkestone : Amsterdam University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9781912961085.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Sorge’s activities between 1930 and 1942 have tended to be lauded as those of a superlative human intelligence operator and the Soviet Union’s GRU (Soviet military intelligence unit) as the optimum of spy-masters. Although it was unusual for a great deal of inside knowledge to be obtained from the Japanese side, most attention has always been paid on the German side to the roles played by representatives of the German Army in Japan. This book, supported by extensive notes and a bibliography, by contrast, highlights the friendly relations between Sorge and Paul Wenneker, German naval attaché in Japan from 1932 to 1937 and 1940–45. Wenneker, from extensive and expanding contacts inside the Japanese Navy (and also concealed contacts with the Japanese Army) supplied Sorge with key information on the depth of rivalry between the Japanese armed services.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter examines issues concerning the formation of contract under Thai law. It discusses the background to the Thai Civil and Commercial Code 1925 and the French and German influences on its drafting. The chapter examines the interpretation of intention, which is integral to the notion of a juristic act for creation of contractual obligations. The direction to discern true intention, combined with notions of fictitious intention and concealed juristic act, enables a court to re-characterize transactions according to their true intention. Through the power to ‘transform a void act’, a court may also declare an act valid otherwise void for non-compliance with formalities governing one kind of juristic act, if it complies with the requirements of another juristic act. The chapter discusses the German concept of Vorvertrag or pre-contract in the context of transactions that do not comply with the formality requirements, and explains why the Thai judges have not embraced this concept. It also examines how a court imposes pre-contractual liability on a party breaking off from contract negotiations.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Bette Davis crafted her career in opposition to conventional images of femininity, battling for equal treatment and pay, and by the end of the 1930s, the media, her fans, and the Hollywood industry itself paid tribute to “Queen Bette.” While Harry, Sam, and Jack Warner concealed their repressive studio practices behind the mask of a family brand, as “the fourth Warner Brother” Davis shrewdly promoted filmmaking’s capacity for transparency, realism, and equality, from her public contract dispute in 1936 to her unconventional roles and off-screen persona. While a number of actresses kept their distance from long-term studio contracts, Davis put her “team player” capital to good use. As president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, president of the Hollywood Canteen, and public Democrat, she built networks of working women inside Hollywood and inspired her female fans to develop their independent political voice and faith in equal rights.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The earliest story of judgment comes in the Iliad with the Judgment of Paris and the ensuing Trojan Wars. The chapter suggests we have concealed important insights from this story, so enamoured have we become with an understanding of history configured through substantiated evidence. The Iliad resists the logic of entailment and proof, and instead delights in an ordinary world in which myth, event, character, and things cohere and contrast with little overall coherence. In such a world without much in the way of subjects and objects envisaging strategy as enacting a plan seems futile. Despite understanding ourselves differently now, as subjects in whom knowledge resides, the world of the Iliad still resonates. Perhaps in spite of our knowledge, we seem no closer to a settled condition of control than those immersed in the Trojan War.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Anthropologists have invariably engaged in their discipline as a form of redemption, whether to escape from social restriction, nourish their souls, reform their home polities, or vindicate “the natives.” This book explores how in pursuit of a secular science sired by the Enlightenment, adherents to a “faith in mankind” have variably rejected and embraced theology, albeit in concealed and contradictory ways. Mining principally the personal and biographical register from the American, British, and French anthropological traditions, it argues that despite manifold efforts to the contrary, theological sediments remain in this disciplining discipline. Rather than continuing to forget, deny, and sequester it, theology can serve as a mirror of introspection—a source of critique offering invaluable tools for revitalization—for thinking anew not only anthropology’s study of others’ cultures, but also its very own reason.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Chapter 2 looks at how travelers drew and described imperial landscapes, arguing that the picturesque was an aesthetic paradigm that concealed the monotony, hardship, and otherness of foreign lands. It analyses the complex interaction of aesthetic theory and perception, and highlights the propagandistic qualities of the picturesque that emerge in contrasts between the work of amateur and professional artists. By privileging certain sites, the picturesque ironically made much of the empire seem boring as even the most impressive views were rarely as spectacular in person as they were in paintings and engravings. Moreover, the visual familiarity of iconic sites meant fewer opportunities to explore the unexplored. Even in India, with its remarkable array of historical and religious sites, the British described much of the terrain as monotonous. In other locations, such as South Africa and Australia, where there were no ruins to enjoy, there was even less that was deemed noteworthy.

Withy, Katherine. Heidegger on Being Self-Concealing. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780192859846.001.0001.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Heidegger on Being Self-Concealing is the first dedicated study to systematically address the question of what phenomenon Heidegger is talking about when he says that being conceals itself. It proceeds by analysing texts across Heidegger’s philosophical career and sorting the various phenomena of concealing and concealment discussed in them into a highly-structured taxonomy. The taxonomical structure makes it easy to determine what is and is not a self-concealing and what is and is not a self-concealing of being. Along the way, various other phenomena of concealing and concealment are identified, including speaking falsely, talking idly, secrets, mysteries, seeming, and inauthentic discovering. The self-concealing of being—or, as Heraclitus puts it, phusis’s (being’s) love of kruptesthai (self-hiding)—is distinguished from lēthē (forgottenness), the nothing revealed in angst, earth, excess, the backgrounding of the world, un-truth, and other closely related phenomena. Being is shown to be self-concealing in that it appears to us lacking the sorts of contrast cases that render entities determinate and intelligible for us—namely, contrasts with its ground and what it is other and rather than. This novel interpretation of the self-concealing of being explains why the secondary literature to date has discussed the phenomenon in the vague and metaphorical terms that it has, as well as why Heidegger tends to collapse being’s self-concealing into the phenomenon of lēthē. The interpretation is both a clarification of and corrective to Heidegger’s notoriously difficult and sometimes misleading discussions of being as self-concealing.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The ways to deal with dreams employed in early modern Romania are based on a fundamentally ambivalent attribution of their origin. In contrast to a modern hermeneutics of dreams characterized by romanticism and psychoanalysis, the sleeping subject is only one possible source of the dream among others. The hermeneutics to be applied in each case proves to be correspondingly complex; here, a knowledge of dreams reaching far back into antiquity is taken up again. Hermeneutics is complemented by a poetics of the dream, which in turn often takes up non-literary dream knowledge. Popular dream books constitute continuities far into the 19th century and thus into the pictorial and symbolic worlds of a modernity that is only too happy to conceal its early modern prerequisites. The contributions in this volume explore the dream culture of the early modern period on the basis of selected key texts from Romance literature.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter focuses on the definiteness of the contract. Many contracts for the sale of goods do not say anything about the time and place of delivery or the quality of the goods. However, not all such agreements are invalid for want of ‘definiteness’. Instead, terms designed by law for just this situation are read into the agreement in place of the missing stipulations—for example that the goods are to be delivered ‘within a reasonable time’ or that they should have no ‘concealed defects’. The chapter concludes with a discussion of two special cases: is there a binding contract if an essential term is left open for future determination by the parties or a third party? What about a contract in which the parties have agreed that one party may, at a later date, unilaterally determine the price to be paid by the other party?

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter focuses on the account in Treatise 1.4.1 of skepticism with regard to reason. It shows that in this section, despite his protestations to the contrary, Hume is a consistent Pyrrhonian skeptic, and that his account is not purely negative. Instead, the chapter shows that he demonstrates that custom is the ground for our legitimate confidence in reason. I argue that he intends not to undermine our confidence in reason, but instead to relocate the source of that confidence. Reason, he argues, is neither self-justifying nor capable of being rationally justified from outside. Nonetheless, we are warranted in trusting reason, a warrant conferred by custom.

Valverde, Mariana, et Adriel Weaver. « ‘The Crown Wears Many Hats’ : Canadian Aboriginal Law and the Black-boxing of Empire ». Dans Latour and the Passage of Law. Edinburgh University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9780748697908.003.0005.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In this ambitious but earthbound critique of the ‘black-boxing of empire’, Mariana Valverde and Adriel Weaver adroitly trace the construction and deconstruction of the spectral corpus mysticum in Canadian legal discourse. The authors interrogate the weird legal agency of the Crown in aboriginal rights cases, disclosing the relentless production of novelty concealed beneath the conservative image of a continuous, eternal office and recalling the Latourian lesson about law’s soi disant homeostatic character: ‘even in this case [in which legal principles are modified], it will only be a matter of making the body of legal doctrine still more coherent, so that, in the last analysis, nothing will really have budged.’ These cases, Valverde and Weaver show, contract into themselves Canada’s colonial/postcolonial histories and the full weight of its legal tradition’s contradictory commitments. The sovereign gesture of recognition, offered by way of the ‘honour of the Crown’, paradoxically deprives the aboriginal nations so recognised of their very claim to existence, their nationhood: ‘the Canadian state now has obligations of sovereign/royal honour toward all aboriginal peoples … but the naming of those obligations simultaneously performs a kind of re-coronation of the very colonial sovereign whose servants caused so much harm to aboriginal peoples over the centuries’. Valverde and Weaver allow us to linger on this troubling sense of the uncanny, of the historical deja vu or phantasm of repetition that takes on materiality in the bilateral movement of the Crown through the networks of public law. It is a phantasm that reappears in the discursive techniques of judges that are, in fact, elaborating and reinventing precisely the discretionary doctrinal construct (‘honour of the Crown’) that they claim, instead, to merely appeal to, hearkening to an eternal spring of sovereign virtue through the mists of antiquity.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter analyses the delineation of what counts as a critical period for action and intervention in improving maternal health. Using ethnographic interviews alongside descriptive data from the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey, it analyses two critical junctures for maternal health, the antepartum and postpartum periods, in the context of a particular peri-urban community of Nepal. The postpartum period is socially recognized as sutkeri for Hindu Nepalis, a forty-day period in which a woman who gave birth is considered ritually polluted, but also particularly susceptible to long-term health problems if proper care is not taken for her body in its vulnerable state. This perception of bodily vulnerability and mandated care while sutkeri exists in stark contrast to the absence of such notions and protective practices for the period of pregnancy. Pregnancy, an outwardly visible sign of sexual activity, is a state that one should hide or minimize in order to maintain one’s reputation and honour as a woman. Women worked to conceal their pregnancies, and typically no or little extra care was provided to women to meet their nutritional needs or to enable them to avoid hard physical labour. However, intersecting statuses, such as caste and class, and contexts, such as agricultural households and multi-generational households, crosscut any simple characterizations of the pregnancy and postpartum periods—even within the confines of a subgroup of the Nepali population (Parbatiya) in a single community and place.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract The three terms—silence, stillness, and solitude—are both conceptually distinct and often intertwined in practice. The prominence of the binary speech–silence shifts the emphasis from sound to voice. Silence is thus related to the emergence of logos. But the speech–silence distinction is too crude. Silences can imply verbal responses; they can be transmitted between human beings, and silences in nature have been interpreted as ‘nature speaking’. In some strands of Buddhism, speech and silence may be one and the same. Stillness is often associated with calm and tranquillity but also with death and inertia. By contrast, Carlyle pays homage to industrial toil rather than stillness, in which the performativity of deeds prevails over words, accommodating an unfathomable depth of silences. Finally, solitude shields, conceals, and cocoons, combining a highly private and isolating phenomenon and the elevating, protective, select, and nigh-mystical garb of individuality. It has been held to be the romantic supplement to both silence and stillness, epitomized in Wordsworth’s poetry. Solitude hovers between a strong affirmation of one’s emotional persona and the immersion of self into an extra-human world promising communion and connectedness. It is one of many manifestations that capture the balance at the core of the political: its simultaneously disaggregative and holistic aspects.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In a society as competitive as that of the medieval European elite, defence from open and concealed enemies was a matter of survival. Self-control was paramount as it was proverbial that a man was his own worst enemy. As a result, mitigating the effects of anger, rather than indulging it, was predominant in medieval conduct literature, contrary to some analyses of the medieval mentality. It was the young male which medieval society most feared as likely to disrupt society by his lack of self-control. Most feared of all was the rival courtier whose pleasant and flattering demeanour concealed an implacable and covert enemy (the losenger) conspiring at a rival’s overthrow. When open hostility broke out, medieval societies structured animosity into a framework called mortal enmity, which allowed its worst effects to be mitigated and not spill over to blood feud.

Texte intégralRésumé :
An important difference between Wittgenstein and Heidegger is their use of metaphors of covering and discovery. Heidegger characterizes his phenomenological method as uncovering a concealed ontological framework whereas Wittgenstein insists that ‘nothing is hidden’ and that the only thing to be uncovered is covert nonsense. Wittgenstein’s method is marked by a resolute rejection of a hermeneutics of suspicion and relies instead on using pictures or objects of comparison to dislodge recalcitrant prejudices. The difference from Heidegger on these counts is manifest in Wittgenstein’s treatment of the problematic of realism and idealism. Wittgenstein’s method makes heavy use of questions and dialogue, inviting his readers into a mimetic engagement with the problems he addresses, which contrasts with the diegetic form of Heidegger’s investigation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
ABSTRACT Using images from an updated and expanded three-dimensional electrical conductivity synthesis model for the contiguous United States (CONUS), we highlight the key continent-scale geoelectric structures that are associated with the Precambrian assembly of southern Laurentia. Conductivity anomalies are associated with the Trans-Hudson orogen, the Penokean suture, the ca. 1.8–1.7 Ga Cheyenne belt and Spirit Lake tectonic zone, and the Grenville suture zone; the geophysical characteristics of these structures indicate that the associated accretionary events involved the closure of ancient ocean basins along discrete, large-scale structures. In contrast, we observe no large-scale conductivity anomalies through the portion of southern Laurentia that is generally viewed as composed of late Paleoproterozoic–early Mesoproterozoic accretionary crust. The lack of through-going conductors places constraints on the structure, petrology, and geodynamic history of crustal growth in southern Laurentia during that time period. Overall, our model highlights the enigmatic nature of the concealed Precambrian basement of much of southern Laurentia, as it in some places supports and in other places challenges prevailing models of Laurentian assembly. The revised CONUS electrical conductivity model thus provides important constraints for testing new models of Precambrian tectonism in this region.

Dans ASME 2009 Summer Bioengineering Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/sbc2009-204523.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Transtibial amputation (TTA) patients face ongoing morphological changes in their residual limb. The residuum volume changes due to weight gain or loss, diurnal edema, and muscle atrophy. Consequently, the TTA prosthetic-user is fitted with a new prosthetic socket approximately every four years. Despite new innovations in socket and liner materials and design, contemporary prosthetics are not yet equipped to confront these changes. The TTA residual limb is therefore subjected to high superficial and internal stresses which may cause injury. Appending the hazardous condition of natural volume change of the residuum is the initial geometrical state of the truncated bones. The primary surgical considerations in TTA are the tibial length, the bevelment of the distal end of the tibia and the location of the surgical scar. These risk factors may significantly affect the well being of the TTA residuum. Previous studies assumed that the criteria for a well-fitted socket were low interface stresses. However, while interface stress measurements may help prevent superficial skin damage, knowledge of the internal stress distribution can prevent the formation of deep tissue injury (DTI) [1]. While superficial pressure ulcers are visually detected, DTI is concealed under the skin and spreads to its surroundings in the soft tissues of the residuum. If this latent wound is ignored, the skin will rupture to reveal a massive injury to skin, fat and muscle tissues, clinically termed as a type IV pressure ulcer. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of the following risk factors on the internal mechanical condition of the TTA residuum: shorter tibial lengths (thicker muscle flap tissue), milder tibial end bevelments, different mechanical properties of the muscle flap (simulating both variance between patients or flaccid versus contracted muscle) and superficial scarring in inferior and anterior locations on the skin.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Aim/Purpose: This study examined how peer feedback, received and given face-to-face and on the course site, shapes the teacher’s image, from the student’s point of view as the one providing and receiving feedback. Background: This study examined the effect of receiving and giving peer feedback, face-to-face and on the course site, on forming the teacher’s image, from the student’s point of view as someone who provides and receives feedback. Methodology: The research question was, “How do preservice teachers experience giving and receiving public, oral and written, peer feedback on the teaching experience?” This is a qualitative study. Two hundred fifty-seven preservice teachers educated in teacher training institutions in Israel participated in the study. Contribution: The study attempted to fill the missing pieces in the experience of providing and receiving peer feedback in the process of training for a teaching certificate. The topic of feedback has been extensively researched, but mostly from the point of view of experts providing feedback to the student, whereas this study examined peer feedback. In addition, many studies have examined the topic of feedback mainly from the point of view of the recipient. By contrast, in this study, all the students both gave and received feedback, and the topic was examined from the perspective of both the feedback recipient and the feedback provider. It was found that receiving feedback and providing feedback are affected by the same emotional and behavioral influences, at the visible, concealed, and hidden levels. Findings: It was found that in oral feedback given by students face-to-face they took into account the feelings of the recipient of the feedback, more so than when feedback was given in writing on the course site. It was found also that most students considered it easier to provide feedback in writing than orally, for two reasons: first, it allowed them to edit and focus their feedback, and second, because of the physical distance from the student to whom the feedback applied. About 45% noted that the feedback they provided to others reflected their own feelings and difficulties. It was found that both giving and receiving feedback was influenced by the same emotional and behavioral layers: visible, concealed, and hidden. Recommendations for Practitioners: When an expert gives feedback, the expert has more experience than the students and wants to share this experience with others. This is not the case with peer feedback, where everybody is in the process of training, and the feedback is not necessarily expert. Therefore, clarification and discussion of feedback are of great importance for the development of both feedback provider and recipient. Recommendation for Researchers: About 45% of preservice teachers noticed that the feedback they provided to others stemmed from their own internal issues, and therefore dialogic feedback stimulated a sense of learning, empowerment, and professional development. Dialogic feedback may clarify for both provider and recipient what their habits, needs, and difficulties are and advance them in their professional development. Impact on Society: People must ask themselves whether they are in a position of conducting a dialogue or in a position of resistance to what is happening in the lesson. A sense of resistance to what is happening in the lesson may cause one to feel attacked and in need of defending oneself, and therefore to criticize. It is difficult to establish fruitful and enriching dialogue in a state of resistance, and with the desire to defend oneself and go on attack. Future Research: Knowledge of virtual feedback needs to be deepened. Does the feedback stem from the desire to advance the student who taught the lesson? Does the feedback stem from anger? etc.
