La participation effective des femmes à la vie politique burkinabè est faible et stagnante. Cependant, une catégorie de femmes engagées sont parvenues à tirer leur épingle du jeu. L’objectif est d’analyser les facteurs sociaux qui favorisent l’incorporation de ces femmes en politique. Les données ont été recueillies à Ouagadougou auprès de femmes occupant ou ayant occupé des postes politiques au sein des partis politiques, à l’assemblée nationale et au gouvernement. La période révolutionnaire, les milieux familial, professionnel et syndical constituent des éléments qui ont marqué le début de l’implication des femmes sur la scène politique. Aussi, l’héritage politique et le renforcement des capacités politiques des femmes constituent des facteurs favorables à leur incorporation dans les instances de décision. more...

The objective of the present article is to show how the social network plays different support roles in Quebec immigrants’ socio-professional integration. Based on Tardy’s (1985) theoretical framework and a qualitative methodology, namely life narratives, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 immigrants to map their social network and its impact on their integration process. The multifaceted model proposed by Tardy (1985) has the advantage of explaining the different functions performed by the social support provided by the entourage and thus makes it possible to better understand how to support the newcomer in question. The results of this research are as follows: First, the integration process happened through interaction with other people, as observed by some previous researchers. The second finding is that according to Tardy’s model (1985), immigrants can benefit from many types of social support, including emotional, instrumental, and informational support. Our third finding was related to appraisal support, and it represents one of the essential contributions of our article because it has allowed us to highlight how pre-migratory networks (families and transnational links) and post-migratory networks (friends and associations) guided participants’ decisions. However, despite the multiple resources immigrants seem to benefit from, this article supports the need for a number of actors to play a role in supporting their integration. Meanwhile, governments and host communities still have a role to play in such a transition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

This paper identifies the researches that have had the greatest impact on the Information Systems (IS) discipline and analyses the changes that have taken place in the intellectual structure of this discipline within the ongoing paradigmatic debates between Europe and North America. The methodology applies citation analysis and social network analysis to the articles published in four European and North American journals with the highest impact factors in the IS field. The findings of the study reveal a significant difference between the research styles and publication patterns of European and North American research traditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

High engagement and supportive social networks appear to promote L2 sociolinguistic development. This study investigates the relationship between these two constructs and their influence on Quebec French learners' use of two informal features: ne deletion and first-person on; and two geographically conditioned features: subject doubling and tu questions. Twenty-one adult learners completed an interview probing their language learning experiences and a social network inventory questionnaire. Qualitative analysis of the interviews revealed three engagement levels, differentiated by motivation, efforts to initiate interaction, and perceptions of Quebec French. These were only partially related to social network factors. Quantitative linguistic analysis revealed that only subject doubling and ne deletion correlated with these predictors. Type of feature and perceptions of community linguistic norms also appear to play a role. The discussion considers pedagogical implications and directions for future research on sociolinguistic development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

Les réseaux sociaux ont connu, au cours des dernières années, une expansion spectaculaire, qui les a conduits à s'intégrer au cœur du système éducatif médical. Nous rapportons l'expérience du service d'ophtalmologie du CHU d'Oujda, qui utilise les réseaux sociaux dans le processus de formation des résidents depuis trois ans et demi. Un questionnaire de satisfaction anonyme a été soumis aux résidents du service d'ophtalmologie, concernant les avantages et les inconvénients de cet outil pédagogique. L'analyse de ces données montre un intérêt à intégrer ce nouvel outil de communication dans la pédagogie médicale, sans pour autant négliger les supports traditionnels. Les réseaux sociaux optimise en efet la qualité de l'enseignement médical et est appelé à constituer, dans les années à venir, un support pédagogique incontournable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

Résumé La question du lien entre relations sociales et santé a depuis longtemps mobilisé les chercheurs en psychologie de la santé. Ce champ d’investigation est toutefois marqué par un certain flou concernant les notions étudiées et les outils utilisés, complexifiant la compréhension des mécanismes d’action du soutien social. Cet article propose de faire un état des lieux des connaissances actuelles dans ce domaine. La distinction entre les approches structurale, fonctionnelle et transactionnelle du soutien social est un préalable à la clarification et à l’opérationnalisation des concepts abordés, mais aussi à la modélisation des mécanismes en jeu. De nouvelles perspectives dans l’étude du soutien social doivent être envisagées afin de dépasser les approches classiques. L’étude des attitudes vis-à-vis du réseau de soutien constitue une voie stimulante pouvant apporter de nouvelles pistes de compréhension des effets du soutien social sur la santé, mais aussi d’applications dans la prise en charges des personnes vulnérables. The issue of social relationships has been reliably related to health outcomes, and has drawn the attention of researchers in health psychology for a long time. This field of investigation is however marked by a lack of clarity in terms of both concepts studied and psychometric instruments. Hence, the conceptual and methodological basis of the aforementioned links is to be clarified in order to get a better understanding of the action of the effect of the social support's mechanisms. The aim of the present paper is to make an inventory of current knowledge in this field and consider future perspectives. The distinction between structural, functional and transactional approaches of social support is a prerequisite for the clarification and operationalization of concepts related to social support, but also modeling the mechanisms involved in the relation between social support and health. New perspectives in the study of social support should be considered to go beyond traditional approaches that focus primarily on perceived social support through the concepts of perceived availability and satisfaction. The study of attitudes towards support network is a challenging direction that can provide insights for understanding the effects of social support on health. These attitudes reflect people preconceptions and beliefs about seeking and receiving social support, their evaluations of the ability of their social network to provide assistance and their willingness to accept it. We also discuss the implications of these theoretical arguments for research on social support, as well as the potential applications for psychosocial care of vulnerable people that are apparent from this perspective.

Analyzing the characteristics of social embedding is an essential part of the overall understanding of delinquent behaviour. Researchers have often drawn a line between the conventional and delinquent contexts that surround an individual. However, it is impossible for a youth, delinquent or not, to totally distance him- or herself from the conventional world. This study examines the overlap between conventional and delinquent relationships surrounding a sample of youths in order to assess social influence patterns in their lives. These social networks are not limited to friends but also include family members, classmates, and colleagues, all of whom can have an influence on behaviour. This analysis focuses on 237 youths between the ages of 14 and 24 who attend community organizations in Québec. Results show that: 1) the presence of contacts with delinquent/criminal backgrounds across multiple relational spheres making up a youth's social network generates a dispersion index that reflects the youth's level of criminal embeddedness; and 2) this dispersion index increases the likelihood of participation in delinquent behaviour.

The objectives of the accompaniment of cancer patients at home must be designed to answer as quickly as possible the multitude of their time-dependent questions and needs. To be effective, health care pathway has to be supported by the information transversally delivered and the interaction between physicians, other close caregivers, and relatives. This objective is clearly presented in the Cancer Plan 3 and in the project of the next Health Act project, based on new structures of territorial coordination. With the agreement of the Regional Agency of Health, we propose to develop a regional project entitled 'Territorial Coordination and Abilities in Cancerology,' concerning mainly medical and social problems; and a complementary proposal, 'Cancer Solidarity Life' targeting the daily and personal life of the cancer patients and their close relatives. The aim is to guarantee the autonomy of the patients and to help the caregivers. It appears as an urgent need to develop a social network platform combining human and numeric resources.

The article analyzes the social and professional life of German printer and publisher Nicolas de Francfort, who moved to Venice, Italy, in 1473 and lived there until his death in 1524, in an effort to gain a better understanding of the Venetian printing industry during that time. It notes that no information is available on the origins of de Francfort prior to his arrival to Venice. His integration into the city's German community and his collaboration with several German printers including Leonard Wild are discussed. Topics include his printing production, his membership at several confraternities such as the Scuola Grande di San Marco, and his integration into Venetian society through his marriage to Andriana da Cha da Mestre, the daughter of a wealthy Venetian glassmaker family. more...

This article analyzes the connections of the social sciences in Chile with the knowledge produced in central countries in comparison to those established within Chile and with other Latin American countries, paying particular attention to the connections regarding theory. It is based on content analysis of academic publications, and on social network analysis applied to a database of more than 20,000 bibliographical references generated for this research project from the universe of investigations published by Chilean social scientists over a period of seven years in the first decade of this century, in journals and books, both in Chile and abroad. The results show that, regarding international communications, there is a low level of connectivity with other Latin American countries, but that the communications among Chilean authors are relatively important and particularly those with a group of local theorists who occupy central positions in the network. This does not appear to be a pattern of cognitive dependence although it occurs within the context of a global science that is characterized by a remarkable inequality.

The survey "Datenerhebung zur Depression in der Allgemeinbevölkerung" was conducted from fall 2010 to spring 2011 on several online platforms. The results show that there is a considerable timespan between the appearance of initial symptoms of depression and the first diagnosis of a patient. Intervention at early stages of the disease can reduce a potentially long time of suffering and can lead to the successful treatment of depression. General practitioners play an important role as the link between patient and psychiatrist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...
