This study explores how some television viewers are using prime-time content to influence their personal and societal conceptions of reality. Through the analysis of letters written by viewers to producers, it can be found how some viewer outlooks on both society and personal life are being guided by the courses of action and resolutions presented in television drama. Furthermore, the letters can reveal in what ways viewers come to perceive producers as a type of counselor, knowledgeable enough to advise. This thesis, using Family Ties, an NBC situation-comedy program as a case study, examines letters to the producers in the context of the issue described above. The study is supplemented with the relevant scripts of the program, as well as interviews with the program's producers. The thesis outlines the problems and questions surrounding the study, reviews the related literature, provides a rationale, describes the methodology, and proceeds to analyze and interpret the viewer letters.

Full textLa description du réel consiste en la génération d'un exposé par le guide virtuel. Cette génération repose sur deux points: des connaissances a priori sous la forme d'explications et un comportement décrit par un automate hiérarchique. Nous considérons la visite guidée comme l'évolution conjointe du comportement du guide virtuel et des explications qu'il fournit aux visiteurs. Une explication permet de décrire l'enchaînement d'éléments de discours sur un sujet donné à l'aide d'un graphe. Chacun de ces éléments décrit une unité de discours indivisible décrivant l'utilisation des différentes modalités (parole, gestes, expression, ...) sous la forme d'un script. L'exécution d'un graphe d'explication est effectuée par le comportement qui intègre la notion d'interruption. Lorsqu'un processus d'explication est interrompu, il est suspendu et le sujet courant de la visite guidée est réévalué. Cette réévaluation repose sur l'utilisation d'un ensemble d'experts votant pour les différentes explications disponibles selon un point de vue particulier. Ce vote se base sur le contexte courant de la visite guidée (historique, temps écoulé/restant, ...) et l'état de l'environnement réel.
La perception consiste en la construction et la mise à jour d'une représentation de l'environnement. Ceci est effectué en temps réel par la coopération de différentes routines de perception. La complexité de l'environnement observé (quantité d'informations et variations des conditions d'éclairage) empêchent une analyse complète du flux vidéo. Nous proposons de surmonter ce problème par l'utilisation de stratégies de prise d'information adaptées. Ces stratégies de perception sont mises en oeuvre par certaines routines au travers du choix et du paramétrage des traitements qu'elles effectuent. Nous présentons un ensemble minimal de routines nécessaires à la construction d'une représentation de l'environnement exploitable dans le cadre de la description de cet environnement. Ce système repose sur la mise en oeuvre de trois stratégies de perception: la vigilance qui coordonne des traitements de détection dans le temps et dans l'espace; le suivi qui se charge de mettre à jour les propriétés spatiales des entités existantes dans la représentation; la reconnaissance dont le rôle est d'identifier ces entités. L'efficacité des stratégies de perception suppose une interaction entre la prise de décision (génération de l'exposé) et la perception (construction d'une représentation de l'environnement) de notre acteur virtuel autonome. Nous proposons de mettre en oeuvre cette interaction au travers de la représentation de l'environnement et des requêtes effectuées par le processus de prise de décision sur cette représentation.

Full textAugmented reality usually consists in the addition of virtual information to real static objects. Our proposal is to use augmented reality in order to anotate dynamic objects with non-predictable behaviors. We focus on probtems related to the dynamic aspect of the environment : 1/ describing reality (adaptating the explanations provided by the virtual guide to the evolution of the environment) ; 2/ perceiving reality (the real world using video cameras). The description of the reality is achieved through the generation of the virtual guide’s discourse. This generation is based on two aspects : n priori knowledge represented as explanations and the guide’s behavior modeled with a hierarchical state machine. We consider the guided tour as the joint evolution of this behavior and the explanations provided to the visitors. An explanation is a graph describing the organisation of a set of discourse elements for a specific subject. Each discourse element represents an atomic unit describing the use of different modalities (e. G. Speech, gestures, facial expression) as a script. The execution of an explanation graph is done by the guides behavior which manages interruptions. When an explanation process is interrupted, the current subject of the guided tour is re-evaluated. This evaluation is based on a set of experts, each one being able to vote for available explanations according to their point of view. This vote takes into consideration the current contant of tise guided tour (e. G. Tour history, elapsed/remaining time) as well as the state of the real environment. The perception of the reality consists in the creation and update of an environment representation. This is achieved in real-time by multiple cooperating perception routines. The complexity of the observed environment (e. G. Amount of available information, lighting conditions) prevents us from analysing the entire video stream provided by the cameras. We propose to ovorcome this problem by the use of appropriate perception strategies. These strategies are implemented hy specific perception routines which are able to select and parameterize computer vision treatmonts. We present a minimal set of perception routines required to build an environment representation usable by the virtual guide vigilance schedules detection in space and time; tracking updates spatial attributes of existing entities in the representation; recognition identifies existing entitïes. The effectiveness of these perception strategies depends on the interaction between the decision process (discourse generation) and the perception (the building of an environment representation) of our autonomous virtual actor. We propose to implement this interaction using the environment representation and requests of the decision process on this representation. Experiments have been carried on in order to show the different aspects of our proposition and validate it in a controlled environment. This work has been applied to a real world dynamic environment in the ANR project SIRENE. This application exhibits problems related to our issue and demonstrates the relevance of our approach in the context of the guided tour for a marine aquarium in Océanopolis
Ferrari, Fabio Valerio. "Cooperative POMDPs for human-Robot joint activities." Thesis, Normandie, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017NORMC257/document.
Full textThis thesis presents a novel method for ensuring cooperation between humans and robots in public spaces, under the constraint of human behavior uncertainty. The thesis introduces a hierarchical and flexible framework based on POMDPs. The framework partitions the overall joint activity into independent planning modules, each dealing with a specific aspect of the joint activity: either ensuring the human-robot cooperation, or proceeding with the task to achieve. The cooperation part can be solved independently from the task and executed as a finite state machine in order to contain online planning effort. In order to do so, we introduce a belief shift function and describe how to use it to transform a POMDP policy into an executable finite state machine.The developed framework has been implemented in a real application scenario as part of the COACHES project. The thesis describes the Escort mission used as testbed application and the details of implementation on the real robots. This scenario has as well been used to carry several experiments and to evaluate our contributions

Full textIn order to develop robust and efficient speech recognition system, the number of possible hypotheses corresponding to a spoken utterance has to be drastically reduced. In the specific framework of vocal command systems, this often leads to the design of languages that are difficult to learn. As a consequence, the use of these systems is limited to environment where neither keyboard, nor mouse can be used (chapter 1). Our purpose is then to take into account the application and dialogue context to define the accepted language dynamically. For example, the command "erase the green cube" will not be considered at first if there is no instance of a green cube in the application at the time the sentence is uttered. Similarly, the utterance "erase it" will be eliminated if the pronoun "it" is irrelevant in the current dialogue context. Constraining the recognition process by means of such pragmatic considerations allows us to accept a more natural language (chapter 2). [. . . ]

Full textAcute dyspnea due to pulmonary congestion in acute heart failure (AHF) is a common reason for admission to the ER. Currently, AHF is twice as common and associated with a twofold higher risk of death (8%) than acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Pre-hospital and emergency care has become the cornerstone of care of these patients. In recent years, new paradigms have emerged surrounding AHF management, highlighting the complexity of this disease. Hence the use of the term acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS), a terminology underscoring the plurality of clinical situations and the diversity of congestive profiles. However, the assessment of congestion distribution during an AHFS is currently predominantly based on clinical arguments in spite of limited data. Alternatively, lung ultrasound (LUS) and estimation of plasma volume (ePVS, based on hemoglobin and hematocrit) could allow for a better assessment of congestive profiles. Several studies report that the rapid and accurate etiological diagnosis of acute dyspnea is associated with prognosis. Despite the availability of diagnostic tools including clinical exam, biomarkers and radiology, there is still considerable uncertainty regarding etiological diagnosis in the emergency department (ED) setting, hence rendering it difficult in reducing the « Time to therapy » advocated by the recommendations of the European Cardiology Society 2016 for AHF. The objectives of the present work were to identify distinct congestion profiles of AHF, to clarify the diagnostic and prognostic value of these profiles in the context of acute dyspnea, and to determine whether the therapeutic effect of initial emergency management modalities is dependent on these congestive profiles. In the course of our work, we were able to demonstrate in the DeFSSICA cohort that the tools allowing a better assessment of the patient's congestive profile (particularly LUS and ePVS) are rarely used in ED. In a second study, we showed in the PARADISE cohort (NCT02800122) - designed as part of this PhD research project - that impaired renal function, hyponatremia and dysglycemia are significantly associated with prognosis in patients with acute dyspnea. In a third study, we showed that the ePVS is an effective AHF diagnostic tool and that a higher congestion level assessed by ePVS is associated with higher in-hospital mortality of patients admitted for acute dyspnea. Our work also enabled us to design and initiate the PURPLE (Pathway and Urgent caRe of dyspneic Patients at the emergency department in LorrainE district - NCT03194243) study, which collects clinical and paraclinical data of patients admitted for acute dyspnea on a prospective basis. Lastly, this PhD research project enabled designing and obtain funding for the EMERALD-US project (Evaluation of the feasibility of implementing and performance of an Emergency Echography algorithm for the diagnosis of Acute Dyspnea-UltraSound) which aims to validate an original algorithm specific to emergency situations using lung, cardiac and vascular ultrasound for the etiological diagnosis of acute dyspnea

Full textThe choice of a holiday destination which proceeds from an elective process (a preferential choice) is a geographical choice in which space is directly involved. The geography of tourism - essentially invested in the understanding of the "touristification" process - should consider a new scale in its analysis. Indeed, the general problem of touristic space coincides with that of the tourist's space, which in turn asks the question of the nature of the spatial-touristic rapport. Thus, it seems useful to question the significance of the relationship that exists between the tourist and the elected holiday destination in order to gather answers to the question "why here and not somewhere else ?". In such a context a re-reading of the history of holidays and tourism shows that three centuries of history have contributed to the codification of the touristic space and its practices, as well as to the guiding of migration choices. The individual and collective history has moulded mental images of space, or more precisely spatial representations, that are at the heart of the decision-making process relative to a holiday destination. So it is interesting to make a theoretical investigation of the concept of spatial representation. Finally, an empirical research in the department of the Charente-Maritime (west coast of France) tries to explain the tourist's decisional environment. From a sample survey intended to register the factors that exercise an influence on the choice of a holiday destination, two different types of factors are identified : on the one hand, some inherent in the tourist and others inherent in space; on the other hand, some factors that are called "spatial touristic preferences". These results give an explanation to the structure of the tourist's decisional environment as well as to the way spatial representations are moulded and function. Thus, factors come to light which seem to come from a psycho-geography, apt to explain the impact of spatial immateriality in the holiday destination decision-making process. The study of touristic spatial representation as a tool to perceive the touristic environment seems to give a key to understanding the election of a holiday destination

Full textCompanies whose primary business is the design and the supply of complex systems try to constantly improve their performances to be ahead of their international competitors. For this, a solution is to deploy, improve and manage Systems Engineering processes. Indeed, among other things, this may enable companies improving the quality of their services but also the reactivity with which they supply them.Nonetheless, this deployment requires paying a special attention to needs, abilities and motivations of resources and organisations, should they be internal or external to the company, likely to be involved in the deployment or execution of these processes. Thus, mastering their interoperability should be considered as an important need and should be considered as a key factor in the deployment.Moreover, since a process deployment implies to structure the work share, to modify the organisation and the functioning of enterprises, the latter must be able to carry out considerable effort to understand, anticipate, adapt and lead the change. However, they often experience difficulties considering the few pragmatic and applicable solutions available to directly deploy processes in industry.To meet these needs, this thesis research aims to supply a methodological and technical guide that enables getting over obstacles preventing or impeding the success of the deployment. It is here applied for the deployment of Systems Engineering processes in an aeronautics context. More precisely, this work focus on processes in charge of the design of helicopters along with services related to them.Consequently, the global contribution of this thesis consists in the definition of an equipped methodological guided to support the deployment of processes in a company that is multi-sites and multi-cultural. This guide includes:• A detailed comparative analysis of international Systems Engineering norms applicable in a aeronautics,• A meta-model that enables sharing a common vision/understanding of concepts required for the deployment,• A maturity model that enables appraising the readiness of a company for the deployment,• A formalised deployment methodology (BPMN 2.0 and an underlying formal model) that is unambiguous and that can be easily automated,• A methodology enabling the assessment of the interoperability of resources and organisation units to involve in a process to deploy, mathematically formalised and equipped with typical questionnaires to facilitate its immediate application,• Processes models and more particularly the one in charge of the stakeholders requirements definition to validate the deployment methodology,• A consistent and interoperable set of computer applications including a workflow engine, modelling tools, applications for the assessment of maturity and interoperability, an application to collect knowledge in models and a document generator

Full textThis thesis deals with the study of the agreement between the therapeutic decisions and the recommendations of best practice. We propose three methods for the analysis and the reconstruction of physicians’ and patients’ therapeutic decisions through the information available in patient records. Our first method involves the analysis of the agreement between physicians’ prescriptions and the recommendations of best practice. We present a typology of drug therapy, applicable to chronic disease, allowing to formalize both prescriptions and recommendations and to compare them in three levels of detail: the type of treatment, pharmaco-therapeutic class, and the dose of each medication. Our second method involves the extraction of physicians’ therapeutic decisions through patient records when the guidelines do not offer recommendations. We first present a method for discovering knowledge gaps in clinical practice guidelines. Then we apply a machine learning algorithm (C5. 0 Quinlan) to a database of patient records to extract new rules that we graft to the decision tree of the original guideline. Our third method involves the analysis of compliance of patients’ therapeutic decisions with regard to the physicians’ recommendations concerning insulin dose adjustment. We present five indicators useful for the verification of the level of patient compliance: absolute agreement (AA) and the relative agreement (RA) show an acceptable compliance, extreme disagreement (ED) shows a dangerous behavior, over-treatment (OT) and under-treatment (UT) show that the administered dose was respectively too high or too low

"Flexibility in value-based decision-making Noradrenergic and dopaminergic neurons in value-guided actions Dual contribution of noradrenaline to behavioural flexibility and motivation Exploration for information in monkeys." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCB024.
Full textThe ability to evaluate one's environment and make adaptive decisions is crucial for survival. Indeed, most environments that we are faced with are uncertain and dynamic, and therefore require constantly adapting one's behaviours. How organisms manage to do so both at the behavioural and neurobiological levels is still largely unknown. The goal of this thesis was to refine our understanding of these mechanisms in the value-based domain using a combination of quantitative description of the behaviour, electrophysiological recordings and pharmacological manipulation in monkeys. We focused our work on the contribution of the catecholaminergic neuromodulatory systems: dopamine and noradrenaline. Both systems are known to be involved in encoding aspects of incentive motivation and adaptive behaviour but their precise roles remain elusive. First, we evaluated the distinct contribution of dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons in an effort-reward trade-off task. We showed that the activity of both populations support differential roles for dopamine and noradrenaline in promoting and adapting the behaviour. Their complementary responses to different features and events suggest that dopamine and noradrenaline play complimentary roles in driving the behaviour towards or away from exploiting a current opportunity for reward. Second, we used a pharmacological approach to investigate the causal role of noradrenaline in both motivation and behavioural flexibility. We revealed its critical implication in modulating the force produced and the sensitivity to value in choices, a form of behavioural flexibility. Together, these results support a role for noradrenaline in facing challenging situations in two complementary ways: by modulating behavioural volatility, which would facilitate adaptation depending on the lability of the environment, and by modulating the mobilization of resources to face immediate challenges. Finally we showed that monkeys could adaptively use this specific form of flexibility, that we called reward-based exploration, when they explored their environment to gain information. We isolated an additional form of exploration based on the choice of the most uncertain option, that we called uncertainty-based exploration. We showed that both types of exploratory strategies were conjunctively deployed when information was available and useful. We proposed that they could be supported by specific neurobiological system including the noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems respectively. Overall, this thesis provides insights into the ability of monkeys to flexibly adapt their behaviour when making value-based decisions and proposes distinct roles for the catecholaminergic systems - within specific circuits - in supporting this ability

Full textThis doctorate study aims to assess the psychological factors of vulnerability to risky sports behaviours in future high mountain guides. It focuses on motivational and emotional variables linked with self-regulation and personality traits, and is based on three studies. The first study helps assess the specific psychological profile of future high mountain guides (N = 189) compared with both the general population and individuals engaged in other risky behaviours (i. E risk-taking athletes, N = 170 and firemen N = 121). The second study helps identify the role of motivational, emotional and personality variables in determining unsafe behaviours among those people taking risk at work (N = 188). The final study helps test the effects of risky behaviours on future mountain guides’ emotional experience (N = 118). Results show that future mountain guides are very far from the psychological profile of firemen and other individuals engaged in risky behaviours, Their characteristics are more like risky sports athletes’. On the whole, these individuals have a rather well-balanced psychological profile, although they may experience relational and emotional difficulties (Study 1). Besides, careless future high mountain guides are typically open to experiences, have a high lack of consciousness and tend to deliberately ignore self-conscience (Study 2). Their involvement in their practice (i. E mountain runs) together with a careless behaviour are their own approach to emotional self-regulation (Study 3)

Full textInfective endocarditis is a serious disease affecting around 2000 patients in France and 17000 in the United-States. Despite therapeutic progress, in-hospital mortality remains high, around 20%. This is mainly the consequence of a too late diagnosis and insufficiencies in the risk stratification. In fact, novel perspectives on the management of endocarditis are emerging and offer a hope for decreasing the rate of residual deaths by accelerating the process of diagnosis and risk stratification, a reduction of delays of instauration of antimicrobial therapy, the rapid transfer of high-risk patients to specialised medio-surgical centres, the development of new surgical modalities, and close long-term follow-up.Since many years, we have developed, in our institution, a research program based on a close collaboration between the researchers of the UMR 6236-CNRS and the physicians and the surgeons of the Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery Departments. This thesis reports the results of this translational research on the management of endocarditis. We have demonstrated that the standardization of the diagnostic process and of the surgical indications reduces infective endocarditis-related mortality in infective endocarditis. To improve the management, innovations such as the use of new biomarkers represent a critical new approach for this disease. From a transcriptional based approach, we have identified several new genes strongly involved in the pathophysiology of infective endocarditis. Thus, our works shows that the matrix metalloproteinase-9, S100A11 and aquaporin-9 would be potential new biomarkers for the diagnosis and the prediction of complications during infective endocarditis

Full textContext: CDSS (Clinical Decision Support System) for the empiric prescription of antibiotics present many limits: (i) recommendations are only given for clinical situations that are described in CPGs (Clinical Practice Guidelines); (ii) updating is infrequent; (iii) poor ergonomics is an impediment to clinical adoption. To overcome these limits, we propose an approach leading to a CDSS that is able to generate ecommendations as in CPGs, and to display recommendations in an interface supporting knowledge. Methods: Our approach consists in (i) extracting from CPGs the deep medical reasoning used by experts to establish recommendations, (ii) using the decision process in empiric antibiotherapy and the usability principles to design a pleasant interface. Results: The implementation of the medical reasoning of the experts as an algorithm using 12 properties of antibiotics, allows to retrieve automatically the recommended antibiotics for all clinical situations, without the intervention of the experts. These properties could be updated automatically thanks to others resources like drugs data bases. The design of an interface supporting knowledge according to the decision process in empiric antibiotherapy and the usability principles, improve significantly the perceived usability and the confidence in the system. Conclusion: The extrapolation of our approach to the chronic diseases should be assessed

The first part of this work places the issue of the back intervertebral disc disease related to work and its social recognition.The low back pain chronicity and the social and professional restriction of participation are part of a dynamic model involving factors related to the individual, to the prevention and care system, to work, and to the financial compensation system. The need for integration of all these elements for medical care, prevention and medical and occupational surveillance of low back pain workers is developed through the presentation of recommendations for good practice. Recommendations for pre-return-to-work medical examination especially emphasize the benefit of coordinating medical, social and occupational actors for the return to / retention at work and the fight against occupational exclusion of low back pain workers. Finally, the offered to low back pain workers strategies which have shown their effectiveness in reducing the duration of sick leave combine an intensive physical rehabilitation, a cognitive-behavioral approach, a workplace intervention and the coordination of return to work actors. However, the implementation of these complex interventions has a great number of limitations

Full textThe subject of this thesis consists in an analysis of an experiment that took place over the course of two years, at the kindergarten level, in association with « Philosoph’art », an organization from Lyon. In this research, we interrogate the status of innovation of this experience and we focus on the posture of the quizmaster during workshops with philosophical content as well as artistic projects. We closely examine what sets apart such experiences from those already in use in philosophy with children and artistic practices. Furthermore, we will explain the set up of this project and the conditions in which it has been made transferable for use in Lebanon

Full textHeart failure is a major public health issue in developed countries, with a prevalence of 1-2% of global population, rising to 10% after 70 years of age. Therapeutic progresses have succeeded in improving patients’ prognosis, particularly in case of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Rhythm abnormalities are frequent, and need special consideration in case of heart failure. Meanwhile, there are still some gaps in the evidence: heart failure with preserved systolic function is complex and difficult to treat, primary prevention of sudden cardiac death is effective but there is a need to better select candidates, whether elderly patients should be treated as younger individuals, and finally how to improve outcomes of atrial fibrillation catheter ablation. Firstly, we have conducted a prospective study to evaluate the Sleep Apnea Monitoring algorithm provided in a novel pacemaker in patients with diastolic dysfunction. Besides, we analyzed whether magnetic resonance imaging could predict cardiac outcomes in patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator better than echocardiography. We also reported the outcomes of the cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients ≥75 years old compared to younger patients. Finally, we studied the results of a novel ultra-high density mapping system to guide ablation procedures of complex atrial arrhythmias in heart failure patients compared to controls

Full textEs una investigación, análisis, y aproximación a la obra gráfica del artista mallorquín, del siglo XX, Pedro Quetglas, conocido por el seudónimo de “Xam”. Su actividad se ha sistematizado en base a la biografía, técnicas trabajadas y a su entorno. Xam, se ejercitó en la caricatura, el dibujo, el cartel, el grabado xilográfico, la pintura, los monotipos, la serigrafía y en el grabado calcográfico. Del conjunto de toda su producción se centra en la obra gráfica producida a partir de 1944, cuando puede datarse su primera xilografía, y su fallecimiento, en 2001, en el cual realiza su última litografía. La tarea se inserta en un ámbito sin tradición inmediata sobre la obra gráfica en Mallorca, prácticamente desaparecida tras la importante imprenta Guasp. Se han podido documentar más de 400 matrices. A su vez, se han trabajado las estampaciones de estas, que ascienden a 600 estampas calcográficas, xilográficas, serigráficas y litográficas.
The thesis is research, analysis and approach to the graphic work of the Majorcan artist of the 20th century, Pedro Quetglas, known by his pseudonym "Xam". Xam worked in several art fields, such as caricature, drawing, designing and painting posters, woodcut, painting, monotype, serigraphy and calcography engraving. From the sum of his work the thesis is centred in the graphic work produced between 1944, when we can date the first xylography, and his death, 2001, when he finished his last lithography. The task was inserted in a field without immediate tradition on the graphic work in Mallorca, which practically went missing after the important Guasp printing house closed down. It has been possible to document more than 400 blocks and, at the same time, the prints of those which add up to 600 prints on chalcography, xylography, serigraphy and lithography.

Since the Chinese visitors are allowed to visit Taiwan for sightseeing, mandarin tour guides have conducted twice mass protests and submitted petition to Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and Tourism Bureau, hoping the government attaches importance to the basic income and interests of mandarin tour guides. By the deep interviews of qualitative research methods, this study deeply probes the phenomenon of Chinese low-price tour groups, and related problems faced by mandarin tour guides, and then recommends the improvements, particularly focused on references to the relevant regulations to discuss the applicable right to practice, Labor Standards Act, and National Health Insurance Act for mandarin tour guides; the empirical data collected from 8 interviewees of industries, government and academics are found that: (1) The way to operate low-price tour by the travel agencies causes professional interpretation mandarin tour guides to gradually become shopping commodity-based guide staff; mandarin tour guides’ salary are most uncertain commissions, with insecurity of income.(2) Taiwan’s tour guides system primarily is exam and training separately, different with the practices of Japan and Macao, and the job training is not mandatory to participate. The union of exam and training can be a way recommended to increase the quality and professional degrees of tour guides. (3) According to the provisions of 2nd Generation NHI of National Heath Insurance Administration, professionals and technicians who independently practice must be returned to category 1 of the insured. Tourism Bureau, Ministry of Transportation and Communications said by replied letter that tour guides and tour leaders are not permitted to independently practice according to laws, so that they did not have the identify set forth in item 5, category 1 of national health Insurance (Independently practicing professionals and technicians). There are still different opinions in various circles about whether tour guides can practice or not if they pass the Civil Service Junior Examination for Professionals and Technicians. (4) Mandarin tour guides are originally applicable to Labor Standards Act, but now because of “industry attribution change”, become into NA. The situation is very special. (5) Tourism Bureau elaborated to approve Mandarin tour guide’s right to practice for Chinese tourists’ free tour, and to amend the law or not, industry, government and academics show half and half of the pros and cons. Finally, the results from this study are collated and analyzed to propose practical recommendations and the follow-up research and development.

Full textFollowing reports of a potential association between antidepressants (ADs) and suicidal behaviour in youth, a regulatory warning was issued in Canada in May 2004, and clinical practice guidelines on recommended medical follow-up were published in the literature in November 2007. This Master's thesis aimed at assessing the association between these communication interventions and medical follow-up practices. A retrospective cohort study (1998-2008) was conducted among 4,576 children (10-14 years) and 12,419 adolescents (15-19 years) members of the Quebec public drug plan. Medical follow-up was ascertained through patterns of physician billing practices found in the RAMQ medical services databases. Study outcomes consisted of occurrence and frequency of visits in the first three months of AD treatment. Factors associated with follow-up consistent with recommendations were identified through multivariate logistic regression models. The main independent variable was exposure to each of the communication interventions. Covariates included: gender, class of AD, number of concomitant chronic diseases, psychiatric conditions, prescriber’s specialty, and potential exposure to each intervention. Only 20% of children or adolescents received at least one visit each month. The probability of receiving adequate follow-up was greater when treatment was initiated by a psychiatrist. Occurrence and frequency of visits did not change after the warning nor the publication of the recommendations. From this thesis, one may conclude that further interventions to optimize medical follow-up practices should be envisaged.

Full textThe use of folic acid during the preconceptionnal period reduces the risk of neural tube defects (NTD), a malformation of the nervous system. In order to reduce it’s prevalence, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada proposed new practice clinical guidelines, in 2007, on the use of pre-conceptional vitamin/folic acid supplementation for the prevention of NTDs, with specific recommendations to prevent recurrences and occurrences among women with intermediate to high health risk factors and for whom the dose was different. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the concordance between the new guidelines and folic acid use in real life; 2) to identify predictors associated with a recommended folic acid supplementation, and 3) to evaluate if the use of folic acid could reduce the risk of congenital malformations other than NTDs. A cross-sectional study and an ecological study have been conducted. 361 women were recruited in obstetrics outpatient clinic at the CHU Ste-Justine for the first study and 152,392 pregnancies and babies were identified in the Quebec Pregnancy Registry, which results from the linkage of three administrative health care databases from Quebec (RAMQ, Med-Echo and ISQ) for the second study. Only 27% of the wowen recruited for the first study had periconceptional folic acid supplementation intake that was concordant with guideline. Concordance varied according to their health risk factors profile for NTD. Our ecological study showed that the annual prevalence of periconceptional folic acid use increased from 0.17% to 0.80% (p < 0,0001) from 1998 to 2008 and birth prevalence of major congenital malformations increased by 15% (3.35% to 3.87%, p < 0,0001) during the same period. Our findings highlight the fact that folic acid is not widely used by women of childbearing age, regardless of the dose. There is a need for new public health programs to encourange women to consume folic acid every day before and during pregnancy. Moreover, the use of high dose folic acid does not seem to be correlated with a decline in the prevalence of major congenital malformations, on a populational level.
