Randomized Comparison of Initiating the Fixed-Ratio Combination of iGlarLixi or Biosimilar Insulin Glargine Together With Gliclazide in Participants of South Asian Origin With Type 2 Diabetes: VARIATION 2 SA Trial.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to compare initiation of a fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine and lixisenatide (iGlarLixi) vs insulin glargine U100 (iGlar) along with gliclazide, exclusively in people of South Asian origin with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: The Variability of glucose Assessed in a Randomized trial comparing the Initiation of A Treatment approach with biosimilar basal Insulin analog Or a titratable iGlarLixi combinatioN in type 2 diabetes among South Asian participants (VARIATION 2 SA) trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03819790) randomized insulin-naïve adults with T2D having glycated hemoglobin (A1C) 7.1% to 11% to initiate either iGlarLixi or iGlar + gliclazide. Insulin doses were titrated similarly to a prebreakfast glucose target of 4.0 to 5.5 mmol/L. Average time in range (TIR) on a masked continuous glucose monitor (CGM), A1C, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and weight were assessed at the end of the 12-week treatment period. RESULTS: Mean baseline characteristics for the 104 randomized participants were similar between treatment groups, including the following: age, 59±11 years; diabetes duration, 13.7±7.3 years; and A1C, 8.5%±1.2%. Coprimary outcomes of average TIRs within 24- and 12-h (6 am to 6 pm) periods at the end of trial were 70.5%±16.8% and 72.9%±17.6% for iGlarLixi, whereas these TIRs were 65.6%±21.6% and 67.3%±20.7% for the iGlar + gliclazide regimen, respectively, with no significant differences between groups (p=0.35 for 24-h TIR and p=0.14 for 12-h TIR). No significant difference in secondary outcomes was observed between treatment groups. Self-reported hypoglycemic events throughout the trial period and CGM-reported hypoglycemia (<4 and <3 mmol/L) were similar between randomized treatments. CONCLUSIONS: Initiation of iGlarLixi resulted in similar TIR, A1C, FPG, weight and hypoglycemia compared with the more affordable option of starting iGlar + gliclazide in adults of South Asian origin with T2D.

Estratégica metodológica a través del juego para la enseñanza del pase-recepción en baloncesto

El proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje requiere de estrategias didácticas que contribuyan a la adquisición de hábitos motrices específicos de una forma eficaz; el método del juego puede contribuir considerablemente a dicho propósito. En tal sentido, se plantea como objetivo de la investigación perfeccionar el proceso de enseñanza del pase-recepción en baloncesto a través de una estrategia metodológica, utilizando el método de juego. Se conforman dos grupos independientes con 20 basquetbolistas masculinos, cada uno de la Unidad Educativa del Milenio Nela Martínez Espinosa; se implementa un entrenamiento tradicional al Grupo Control y una estrategia metodológica con seis juegos al Grupo Experimental durante un semestre y se prioriza el proceso de enseñanza del pase-recepción. El Grupo Control no mejoró significativamente la técnica del pase-recepción (p=0.180), a diferencia del Grupo Experimental (p=0.000), mientras que, al comparar los resultados en el postest entre grupos independientes, el Grupo Experimental presentó un mejor rango promedio (24.50) que el Grupo Control (16.50), con una diferencia significativa a su favor (p=0.030). Para la presente investigación, se logra una mejora significativa en la técnica del pase-recepción en los basquetbolistas del Grupo Experimental. Se deduce que el uso de una estrategia metodológica que priorice el método de juego, contribuye notablemente al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la adquisición de hábitos motrices específicos del baloncesto como parte de la etapa de iniciación deportiva.

O processo de ensino-aprendizagem requer estratégias didáticas que contribuam para a aquisição de hábitos motores específicos de forma eficaz; o método do jogo pode contribuir consideravelmente para este propósito. Neste sentido, o objetivo da pesquisa é melhorar o processo de ensino da recepção de passes no basquetebol através de uma estratégia metodológica, usando o método de jogo. Dois grupos independentes foram formados com 20 jogadores masculinos de basquete, cada um da Unidade Educacional Nela Martínez Espinosa Millennium; um treinamento tradicional foi implementado para o Grupo de Controle e uma estratégia metodológica com seis jogos para o Grupo Experimental durante um semestre e o processo de ensino da recepção de passes foi priorizado. O Grupo de Controle não melhorou significativamente a técnica de recepção de passagem (p=0,180), ao contrário do Grupo Experimental (p=0,000), enquanto que, ao comparar os resultados no pós-teste entre grupos independentes, o Grupo Experimental apresentou uma faixa média melhor (24,50) do que o Grupo de Controle (16,50), com uma diferença significativa a seu favor (p=0,030). Para a presente investigação, uma melhoria significativa na técnica de recepção de passes é alcançada nos jogadores de basquete do Grupo Experimental. Deduz-se que o uso de uma estratégia metodológica que prioriza o método de jogo, contribui significativamente para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem na aquisição de hábitos motores específicos no basquetebol como parte da fase de iniciação esportiva.

The teaching-learning process requires didactic strategies that contribute to the acquisition of specific motor habits in an effective way; the game method can contribute considerably to this purpose. In this sense, the objective of the research is to improve the teaching process of pass-reception in basketball through a methodological strategy, using the game method. Two independent groups were formed with 20 male basketball players, each one from the Millennium Educational Unit Nela Martínez Espinosa; a traditional training was implemented to the Control Group and a methodological strategy with six games to the Experimental Group during one semester and the teaching process of the pass-reception was prioritized. The Control Group did not significantly improve the pass-reception technique (p=0.180), unlike the Experimental Group (p=0.000), while, when comparing the results in the post-test between independent groups, the Experimental Group presented a better average range (24.50) than the Control Group (16.50), with a significant difference in its favor (p=0.030). For the present research, a significant improvement in the pass reception technique is achieved in the basketball players of the Experimental Group. It is deduced that the use of a methodological strategy that prioritizes the game method, contributes significantly to the teaching-learning process in the acquisition of specific motor habits of basketball as part of the sports initiation stage.

Construction and validation of an observation tool of the imbalance pass in futsal / Construção e validação de uma ferramenta de análise do passe de desequilíbrio no futsal

Abstract This study aimed to construct a tool for observing the imbalance pass in futsal through Microsoft Excel® software and to establish its content validity and intra- and interobserver reliability based on the calculation of the content validity coefficient (CVC) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). For the construction of the tool, futsal specialists (n = 10) with an average age of 44.1 ± 12.34 years and 19 ± 7.21 years of experience in the field participated in the study. 60% of the specialists have international-level expertise and 50% are active in practice and in academic field (higher education professor). According to the methodology, 23 items were proposed to assess the imbalance pass in futsal. CVC was calculated based on language clarity, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance for each item of the instrument and for the instrument as a whole; ICC was calculated based on intra- and interobserver agreement. Language clarity, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance revealed a result of 0.92, 0.93 and 0.95, respectively, and the values ​​for intra- and interobserver agreement reliability were excellent according to the literature (> 0.75). Thus, it is concluded that the items proposed in the tool obtained satisfactory psychometric properties.

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo construir uma ferramenta de observação do passe de desiquilíbrio no futsal por meio do software Microsoft Excel® e estabelecer sua validade de conteúdo e confiabilidade intra e interobservador, a partir do cálculo do coeficiente de validade de conteúdo (CVC) e do coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI). Para construção da ferramenta participaram do estudo especialistas de futsal (n=10) com média de idade de 44,1±12,34 anos de experiência na área de 19±7,21 anos, sendo 60% dos especialistas com nível internacional e 50% atuantes na prática e no ambiente acadêmico (professor do ensino superior). Propuseram-se 23 itens para avaliação do passe de rutura no futsal. Foi calculado o CVC, a partir da clareza da linguagem, da pertinência prática e da relevância teórica, para cada item do instrumento e para o instrumento como um todo, o ICC foi calculado a partir da concordância intra e interobservador. O resultado para clareza da linguagem foi de 0,92, para pertinência prática foi de 0,93 e para relevância teórica foi de 0,95, e os valores para confiabilidade da concordância intra e interobservador foram excelentes de acordo com a literatura (>0,75). Conclui-se que os itens propostos na ferramenta obtiveram propriedades psicométricas satisfatórias.

Motion of the multi-segmented spine in elite dancers during passé and arabesque.

BACKGROUND: The spinal biomechanics of dance tasks have received little study and no studies have used a multi-segmented spinal model. Knowledge of how the segments of the spine move may be useful to the dance clinician and dance educator. RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the direction and amount of motion of the primary segments of the spine in elite dancers during an arabesque and a passé? METHODS: This observational study examined 59 elite dancers performing an arabesque and a passé using a three-dimensional motion analysis system with the trunk divided into a series of five segments: pelvis, lower lumbar, upper lumbar, lower thoracic and upper thoracic spine. RESULTS: For the arabesque, all spinal segments moved in the same direction within each plane and the majority of total spinal motion occurred in the thoracic spine. Thoracic segments were at or near end range position at completion of the arabesque. For the passé, the spinal segments moved in different directions within each plane and the majority of total spinal motion occurred in the lumbar spine. SIGNIFICANCE: Dance clinicians and dance educators may benefit from the knowledge that thoracic hypomobility in any plane may limit arabesque performance and that attempts to instruct dancers to achieve a position of passé without flexion of the lumbar spine may be a valid aesthetic ideal but also an unrealistic functional expectation.

"I just love it": Avid knitters describe health and well-being through occupation.

BACKGROUND.: Examining craft-based occupations is necessary to explicate the relationship between occupation and well-being. PURPOSE.: This study aimed to understand the role of knitting in the lives of passionate knitters and their experience of how knitting contributes to health, well-being, and occupational identity. METHOD.: Principles of phenomenology guided interviews with 21 knitting-guild members (with and without health conditions) and observations at seven guild meetings as well as guided the data analysis. Eight interviewees and 24 additional guild members confirmed key findings in writing. FINDINGS.: Five main themes capture how knitting (a) "makes me happy," (b) is "the mental challenge I need," (c) is "a hobby that joins" through social connections and skill development, (d) sustains identity such that "I can't imagine life without knitting," and (e) is a creative outlet "reflecting my personality." IMPLICATIONS.: This in-depth description of how knitters experience their craft in daily life bolsters the philosophical assumption that favoured occupations have the power to promote health and well-being.

Effect of Complementary Spiritist Therapy on emotional status, muscle tension, and wellbeing of inpatients with HIV/AIDS: A randomized controlled trial - single-blind.

Background Complementary Spiritist Therapy includes prayer, Spiritist "passe", fluid therapy (fluidic water or magnetized water), and spiritual education, among other therapeutic resources. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Complementary Spiritist Therapy with conventional treatment on emotional status, muscle tension and wellbeing of hospitalized patients with HIV/AIDS. Methods Patients were randomly assigned into either the experimental (3 days [10 mins per day/session] of Complementary Spiritist Therapy alongside conventional treatment; n=20) or control (conventional treatment alone; n=21) group. The primary outcome were positive and negative affects evaluated by the Subjective Wellbeing Scale. The secondary outcome were muscle tension, and wellbeing were assessed by visual analogue scales. Results Significant reductions in negative effects (p=0.045), and muscle tension (p=0.022), along with significant increases in wellbeing (p=0.041) were recorded in the experimental group (Complementary Spiritist Therapy). Conclusions Reductions in negative effects and muscle tension, along with increased perceived wellbeing, were observed in hospitalized patients with HIV/AIDS exposed Complementary Spiritist Therapy combined conventional treatment compared to conventional treatment alone.

O que nos dizem os analistas no passe? / What do the analysts tell us in the pass? / ¿Qué nos dicen los analistas en el pase? / Qu’est ce que nous disent les analystes dans la passe ?

O artigo discute o dispositivo do passe e sua transmissão na Escola. O término de uma análise tem a ver com uma decisão. Mas quem decide? Não é o analista, nem o analisando, é uma decisão acéfala, não depende da vontade. É um momento de concluir, típico de um processo analítico, que “toma” tanto o analisando quanto o analista. Leva-nos a pensar sobre a complexa questão da autorização: na demanda do passe à Escola, o analisante já não se autoriza de seu analista, mas toma para si a tarefa de dar conta do Outro, já não sustenta o par analisante-analista, mas o par analista-Escola. O passe é um convite ao analisante para oferecer sua experiência de transmissão. Já não aparece a coaptação dos superiores, mas dos iguais, os passantes, que são também psicanalisantes e fazem parte do processo. O passe é a possibilidade de transmitir o que descobriu em sua análise a outros e comprometer-se com uma nova experiência no coletivo, a Escola. (AU)

The article discusses the device of the pass and its transmission in the School. The termination of an analysis has to do with a decision. But who decides? It is not the analyst, nor the analysand, it is an acephalous decision, it does not depend on the will. It is a moment to conclude, typical of an analytical process that “takes” both the analysand and the analyst. It leads us to think about the complex issue of authorization: In the demand of the pass to the School, the analysand no longer authorizes themselves by the analyst, but rather takes on the task of accounting for the Other, no longer supports the analysand-analyst pair, but instead the analyst-School pair. The pass is an invitation to the analyst to offer their transmis-sion experience. It no longer appears the coaptation of superiors, but of equals, passers, who are also psychoanalysands and are part of the process. The pass is the ability to convey what you discovered in your analysis to others and commit to a new experience in the collective, the School. (AU)

El artículo discute el dispositivo del pase y su transmisión en la Escuela. El dar por terminado un análisis tiene que ver con una decisión. Pero ¿quién decide? No es el analista, tampoco el analizante, es una decisión acéfala, no depende de la voluntad. Es un momento conclusivo, propio de un proceso analítico que “toma” tanto al analizante como al analista. Nos lleva a pensar el complejo tema de la autorización. En la demanda del pase a la escuela el analizante ya no se autoriza de su analista, sino que toma a su cargo la tarea de dar cuenta a Otro, que ya no es el analista, ya no anuda la pareja analizante-analista, sino analista-Escuela. El pase es una invitación al analizante para que ofrezca su experiencia de transmisión. Ya no aparece la coaptación de los superiores, sino de los iguales, los pasadores, que son también psicoanalizantes y que forman parte del proceso. El pase es la posibilidad de transmitir lo que descubrió en su análisis a otros y comprometerse con una nueva experiencia en el colectivo, la Escuela. (AU)

Cet article a pour but de mettre en lumière le dispositif de la passe et sa trans-mission à l’École. Le terme d’une analyse relève d’une décision. Mais qui décide ? Ce n’est ni l’analyste, ni l’analysant non plus, mais une décision acéphale (cela n’a rien à voir avec la volonté). Il s’agit d’un moment de conclure, caractéristique d’un processus analytique qui comprend à la fois l’analysant et l’analyste. Cela nous fait penser à la question complexe de l’autorisation : dans la demande de la passe à l’École, l’analysant ne s’autorise plus de son analyste, mais prend la charge de rendre compte de l’Autre, il ne supporte plus le couple analysant-analyste, mais le couple analyste-École. La passe l’invite à témoigner de son expérience de transmission. On n’y trouve plus la cooptation des supérieurs, mais celle des égaux, les passants, qui sont tout aussi des psychanalysants et font partie du processus. La passe est la pos-sibilité de transmettre à d’autres ce qu’on a découvert dans sa propre analyse, et de s’engager dans une nouvelle expérience dans le collectif, soit dans l’École. (AU)

Sobre os limites do saber / On the limits of knowledge / Sobre los límites del saber / Sur les limites de la connaissance

O presente artigo articula alguns pontos extraídos da experiência de passe da autora, que pretende que uma modificação da relação do sujeito com o saber é necessária para o término de uma análise. O atravessamento da fantasia consti-tui uma etapa fundamental e imprescindível desse processo, mas não é suficiente para obter o esgotamento da paixão do deciframento que está em jogo na análise.(AU)

This article presents a few concerns resulting from the author’s experience of the pass and proposes that a modification of the subject’s relationship with knowled-ge is necessary to complete an analysis. The traversing of fantasy is a fundamental and essential step in this process; however, it is not sufficient to decrease the pas-sion for interpretation that is at stake in an analysis.(AU)

El presente artículo articula algunos puntos extraídos de la experiencia de pase de la autora, que pretende que una modificación de la relación del sujeto con el saber es necesaria para el fin de un análisis. El cruce de la fantasía constituye una etapa fundamental e imprescindible de ese proceso, pero no es suficiente para obtener el agotamiento de la pasión del desciframiento que está en juego en el análisis.(AU)

Cet article articule quelques points extraits de l’expérience de la passe de l’auteur, qui affirme qu’une modification de la relation du sujet avec le savoir est nécessaire pour la fin d’une analyse. La traversée du fantasme constitue une étape fondamen-tale et indispensable de ce processus, mais il ne suffit pas d’arriver l’épuisement de la passion du déchiffrage pour que cela ait lieu, ce qui est en jeu pour l’analyse.(AU)

Seminário O avesso da psicanálise, na história da psicanálise e no seu tempo / Seminar L’envers: the other side of psychoanalisys, in the history of psychoanalysis and its time

O período que antecedeu a elaboração do seminário O avesso da psicanálise por Lacan foi de forte convulsão social, cultural e política. O mundo e Paris eram sacudidos pelas reverberações da Revolução Cultural Chinesa, que animara desejos de mudança e de rompimento com velhos paradigmas. Lacan enfrentava nesse momento uma crise em sua escola em relação à formação e à nomeação de analistas. Essa crise institucional, social e política, Lacan a transforma, neste seminário, numa elaboração de referência tanto para a formação dos psicanalistas e sua práxis quanto para demonstrar a articulação entre os discursos e o laço social. (AU)

The period preceding the elaboration of Lacan’s seminar L’envers: the other side of Psychoanalysis was one of strong social, cultural and political upheaval. The world and Paris were shaken by the reverberations of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which had animated desires for change and breaking with old paradigms. Lacan was then facing a crisis in his own school around crucial issues of training and appointment of analysts. This institutional, social and political crisis, Lacan turns it, in this seminar, into a reference elaboration for psychoanalysts’ formation and praxis, as well as for demonstrating the articulation between discourses and the social bond. (AU)

Medicina baseada em evidência x psicanálise baseada na ex-sistência / Evidence-based medicine x psychoanalysis based on ex-sistence

O modelo biotecnicista da medicina contemporânea adota como critério a eficácia do tratamento, regra fundamentada na medicina baseada em evidências (MBE). A eficácia terapêutica é determinada pelas leis de mercado, norteadas pelo discurso capitalista, e a psicanálise não escapa dos seus efeitos. Se a eficácia é medida por critérios objetivos, replicáveis e transmissíveis, a psicanálise vem sofrendo violentas críticas, acusada de ser ineficaz e de produzir resultados carentes de evidências. Este artigo tem como objetivo esclarecer que a psicanálise não é uma clínica baseada nas evidências da realidade, mas na ex-sistência do real. E se real é o impossível, sua eficácia não pode ser aferida pelos critérios da MBE. Como comprovar a eficácia de uma experiência a partir de um dispositivo que visa ve-rificar o real, o equívoco, a letra de gozo, o sem-sentido, a não ser por aqueles que passaram por ela? Seria o dispositivo do passe a evidência da psicanálise.(AU)

The biotechnical model of contemporary medicine adopts as criterion the ef-fectiveness of the treatment, based on evidence based medicine (EBM). Thera-peutic efficacy is determined by market laws, guided by the capitalist discourse, and psychoanalysis does not escape its effects. If efficacy is measured by objecti-ve, replicable and transmissible criteria, psychoanalysis has come under severe criticism, accused of being ineffective and producing results that lack evidence. This article aims to clarify that psychoanalysis is not a clinical practice based on the evidences of reality, but on the ex-existence of the real. And if the real is the impossible, its effectiveness cannot be measured by the EBM criteria. How to prove the efficacy of an experience from a procedure that seeks to verify the real, the misconception, the letter of jouissance, the nonsense, if not by those who have been through it? Is the institutional procedure of the Pass the evidence of psychoanalysis?(AU)

Dos confins de uma análise / From the confines of an analysis

O texto trata do percurso de uma análise até o momento de sua conclusão. Considera o fato de que uma decepção é necessária no processo que leva dos infindáveis ditos à sustentação de um dizer como ato, incontornável, condição do falasser. Do acontecimento contingencial de uma análise, enquanto atravessamento de seu confim em direção ao fim, emerge um outro ato que aponta para a transmissão e para o laço. Desta aposta surge o desejo de testemunhar o passe perante a Escola. Aposta cujos efeitos, como de todo ato, só se fará confirmar no só depois.(AU)

The text explores the course of an analysis up to its conclusion. It considers the fact that a disappointment is required in the process, which takes from the endless sayings to the support of a "say" as an act, uncontrolled, condition of the parlêtre. From the contingent event of an analysis, while crossing its confine toward the end, another act emerges and it points to the transmission and to the bond. From this bet comes the desire to witness the pass before the School. A bet whose effects, as any act, will be confirmed only in the afterwards.(AU)

Desenlace da transferência / Outcome of the transference

Trata-se, neste texto, de considerar a forma como a transferência pode se denodar no fim de um discurso analítico. A experiência do cartel do passe tendo produzido a nomeação de AE nos leva a examinar as consequências do equívoco do sujeito suposto saber. Chegando a essa constatação do equívoco do sujeito suposto saber, o analisando não pode mais contar senão consigo mesmo para elaborar aquilo que não pode se apreender de um outro, mas que só pode se inventar. É assim que a psicanálise pode ser transmitida. Ademais, este texto revisa outra via do desenlace da transferência, a via da transferência de trabalho, o que implica certa concepção da Escola.(AU)

The goal of the text is to consider the outcome of the transference at the end of an analytical discourse. The cartel experience of the pass having produced the nomination of AE leads us into examining the consequences of the mistake of the subject's supposed knowledge. Arriving at this conclusion of the mistake of the subject's supposed knowledge, the patient cannot any longer count on him/herself to elaborate what cannot be learned from somebody else, but just to invent it. This is how psychoanalysis can be transmitted. Besides, this text reviews another way of the outcome of transference, the way of work transference, which implies a certain conception of the School.(AU)

A transmissão como sustentação do passe: para além da nomeação / Transmission as sustenance of the pass: beyond the nomination

O texto coloca em pauta a importância de, a partir da lógica do desejo, que passantes e passadores os quais as experiências de passe não tenham culminado em nomeação, sigam nos trilhos da transmissão. A não nomeação de AE não deve encerrar a circulação e o questionamento tanto daquilo que foi experenciado, bem como do mecanismo do dispositivo em si. A transmissão não estar atrelada à nomeação, ou submetida a ela, permite que se faça escola, que se faça laço entre a experiência e a comunidade. Guiados pela ética e pela política do desejo, em que o analista se autoriza de si mesmo, passantes e passadores podem autorizar-se de si mesmos a escrever, dizer, o indizível da experiência que vivenciaram.(AU)

Departing from the logic of the desire, the text discusses the importance "passants" and passers whose experiences have not culminated in nomination, are to follow on the transmission tracks. The AE non-nomination should not close the circulation and the questioning of both the experience and the mechanism of the device itself. Keeping the transmission free from the nomination or submitted to itself, allows school to be carried out, and also a bond between experience and community. Guided by the ethics and politics of the desire in which the analyst gets his own authorization, "passants" and passers may authorize themselves to write and speak the unspeakable about the lived experience.(AU)

O que enlaça o psicanalista na Escola de Lacan? / The tie and the grape tree: what ties the psychoanalyst to Lacan's School

O presente texto trata de uma reflexão sobre o enlaçamento do analista e a Escola. Esse refletir iniciou-se na construção de um trabalho de Cartel. No decorrer do texto discute-se, por meio de textos fundadores, o modo de ser e de estar do analista em consonância com sua práxis. A discussão trouxe ainda um novo significante – empar – para pensar a possibilidade de enlaçamento.(AU)

This text is a reflection about the connection between the analyst and the School, which has started in the construction of a Cartel work. Throughout the text, based on the founding texts, it is discussed the analyst's way of being in accordance with his/her praxes. It also brings a new signifier in order to think about this possibility of bonding.(AU)

[Problematic Internet use, time spent online and personality traits]. / Utilisation problématique d'Internet, temps passé en ligne et traits de personnalité.

BACKGROUND: Internet addiction or problematic Internet use is a recent and increasingly recognized disorder which has been consistently associated with many psychiatric disorders, adding to the documented negative consequences of problematic Internet use. However, very few studies have examined the relationship between problematic Internet use and personality traits and none in a French sample. Moreover, those which have evaluated this relationship have mainly been conducted on small samples. OBJECTIVE: The main goal of our study was to explore the relationship between problematic Internet use, time spent online and personality traits in a French sample, taking into account the presence of depressive symptoms, and gender. METHODS: A sample of 276 participants aged from 18 to 50 (M=28; SD=8.9) completed a questionnaire assessing problematic Internet use, time spent online, the presence of ten personality traits and depressive symptoms. RESULTS: Our results revealed significant differences between genders. Among men, problematic Internet use was associated with personality clusters A and B while in women no cluster or personality traits were associated. Time spent online was predicted by schizoid personality traits among men and avoidant personality traits among women. DISCUSSION: Our results indicate that cluster A (schizoid and schizotypal) and cluster B traits (borderline and antisocial) play a more important role in problematic Internet use than cluster C traits among men. Differences between men and women regarding the relationships between personality traits, time online and problematic Internet use may be related to differences in the activities engaged in by men and women online. We observed that communication websites use was more prevalent among women while erotic, gambling and shopping websites use was more prevalent among men suggesting that the characteristics of problematic Internet use may vary according to gender. CONCLUSION: Few studies have examined the relationship between problematic Internet use, time spent online and personality traits, and none among a French sample. These results suggest the importance of assessing the impact of personality traits on Internet use, particularly on time spent online, by differentiating results in terms of gender and online activities.

Garnett Passe and the tonsillectomy gag.

Kevin Kane has written about the painting by Barbara Hepworth of Garnett Passe performing a tonsillectomy, and wondered about the way in which the gag appears to be suspended. This article traces historically the various methods of holding the gag for tonsillectomy, and postulates that what is illustrated in the Hepworth painting is a jack owned by the late Dr Sydney Cocks, who not only was a friend of Passe but who also commenced the discussions with Passe's widow, Barbara, concerning the formation by her of a trust to support young Australian ENT surgeons, which eventually became The Garnett Passe and Rodney Williams Memorial Foundation.

Passador, um leitor / Passer, a reader

Partindo de algumas referências lacanianas sobre o passador, a autora busca, em Roland Barthes, a possibilidade de expandir a definição de passador. Utilizando-se da teoria barthesiana da leitura, que invoca uma forma ampliada de leitura, de uma imensa trama sonora — o rumor da língua — em que um não-sentido pode dar lugar a um sentido novo, liberto da história dos signos, a autora cria a figura do passador-leitor.(AU)

Departing from some Lacanian references about the passer, the author searches in Roland Barthes for the opportunity to expand the definition of passer. Through the Barthesian theory of reading, which invokes a broader form of reading, of an immense sound texture — the rumor of language — in which a non-sense can give way to a new sense, liberated from the history of signs, the author creates the figure of the passer-reader.(AU)
