Verbal short-term memory skills of Down's syndrome subjects are very poor. As in normal children, it seems possible to increase memory span by using a rehearsal training strategy. Memory span tasks have been proposed to two experimental groups (Down's syndrome subjects / normally developping children) and two control groups (Down's syndrome subjects / normally developping children). The experimental groups were intensively trained to rehearse during 8 weeks. Two post-tests were proposed to the subjects: 1] directly after the training session and 2] six weeks after the training session. We observe an increase of the experimental groups' memory span. The weak modifications of word-length effect and phonological similarity effect seem to confirm that these effects are not due to the rehearsal strategy use. [less ▲]

The study of nationalism points to the notions of state which are underlying national affirmation. At the end of this century, when state intervention does not seem largely supported, how and to what extent are the notions of state and nation linked ? By using data from three surveys conducted in 1992, 1995 and 1996, in several Quebec universities, we present here various “response profiles” which students develop out of these same two notions. Data are actually analyzed with a multidimensional methods (correspondence analysis). Then, it is possible to point out series of similar responses to a number of questions. So, rather than simplifying phenomena, our research leads us to emphasize the complexity of individuals’ relations by taking into account the many worlds of reference relevant to questions that are addressed here. One of our major findings is the very weak link between the notion of state and nationalism. [less ▲]

A building blocks approach for the formal specification of binding objects in the ODP Computational Model is presented. The formal notation that is used is based on LOTOS extended with two features - real time and gate passing. These features are among the extensions that are currently studied in the ISO standardisation Formal Description Techniques group. We apply our building blocks approach to the specification of a multicast, multimedia binding object. [less ▲]

Dans une discussion sur les problèmes d’exclusion que vivent aujourd’hui différents jeunes, il faut réfléchir sur le double rôle que l’État joue à la fois, directement ou non, dans la perpétuation de ces situations et dans la mise en place des voies de leur solution. À une époque pas si lointaine, en effet, l’État pouvait être vu comme un instrument de promotion et d’évolution sociale, et les différentes mesures appliquées étaient perçues comme l’expression des solidarités collectives soutenues par une partie de la population. Différents événements, au cours des dernières décennies, sont venus modifier cette vision. Aujourd’hui, quelles sont les appréciations des jeunes et leurs attentes concernant les actions et les solutions pouvant venir de l’État-providence ? Dans notre esprit, il ne serait cependant pas fécond de chercher à identifier une seule conception de l’État véhiculée par la jeunesse actuelle, mais il faut plutôt mettre en évidence les différentes cohérences que les jeunes construisent entre leurs appréciations de l’engagement de l’État, les mécanismes de redistribution des richesses, les problèmes économiques actuels et les solidarités à créer entre les différentes catégories de citoyens. Le débat serait ainsi enrichi par la présentation d’une diversité de possibilités et la mise en évidence de la complexité des opinions des jeunes. Nous en ferons la démonstration en analysant les réponses de 701 étudiants de plusieurs universités québécoises interrogés au début de 1996. [less ▲]

Microsporidia are spore forming protozoan parasites who cause a variety of diseases among immunodeficiency patients. Only a few cases are reported among immunocompetent patients. We report a case of intestinal microsporidial infection in a 22-year-old student, coming back from Guatemala, after one month travel. Clinical aspects: The young boy was admitted to the hospital for napache with stiffness, backache and fever at 39°C. He reported nonbloody diarrhea 5 days before hospitalization, without nausea or vomiting. During his travel he also presented a few days of self-limited diarrhea, with watery stools without fever. At the end of the trip he had lost 10 kg. Before his travel he was vaccinated against A hepatitis, poliomyelitis, typhoid fever and he receved a malaria prophylaxis by Nivaquine. The clinical examination pointed out a discreet pain at the left iliac fossa, napache and fever. Diagnosis: The biology schows an inflammatory syndrome, hyperleucocytosis, and impairing of the hepatic tests with cholestasis. Routine cultures for bacterial pathogens were negative. Stool examination for parasites with use of direct examination or after diphasic concentration didn't reveal the presence of pathogens. The search of cryptosporidia was also negative. All the serologies even against the HIV for the search of a viral etiology were negative. By the use of a modified trichrome stain, some bright pink-red organism mesuring 1-2µ were detected by light microscopy in three consecutive stools. We concluded to the presence of protozoa of the phylum Microspora. Treatment: The patient receved first ciprofloxacine then albendazole, as specifically treatment. All the symptoms disappeared one month after hospitalization. The low charge of parasites didn't allow electron microscopy nor polymerase chain reaction for the determination of the species.
