« Contexte évaluatif,règles d’équité et d’égalité. Une approche stratégique de la justice distributive. »

This article must be considered within the framework of research on distributive justice in the organisational context (Adams, 1965; Deutsch, 1975; Colquitt and Jackson, 2002). The aim is to propose an analysis from a political point of view of the orientation towards equity and equality rules. We take as a starting point the model of political decision in the organisational context by Murphy and Cleveland (1995). The political approach postulates that one cannot pertinently give an account of the managers’ decision modes without locating them in their daily context of human relations management, and their management strategy. We will examine the links between the context of immediate management and the managers’ choices for equity or equality. The results of two studies will be presented. They tend to legitimate the relevance of this approach.     

Estética experimental: pintura. Procesamiento de estímulos estéticos

Resumen

Este trabajo presenta algunos experimentos de una amplia investigación realizada en el campo de la estética experimental. La influencia de la educación artística en la huella de memoria producida por distintos tipos de estímulos estéticos, la relación entre los juicios estéticos y la familiaridad de los estímulos y el uso de las técnicas de neuroimagen son los principales aspectos estudiados.     

Cohésion–non-cohésion des scores composites : valeurs seuils et interprétabilité. L’exemple du WISC-IV

When interpreting the composite scores of the Wechsler Intelligence scales, some authors recommended to determine whether the composite scores are unitary or not. It has been suggested that when variability among scores is too large, then the composite score does not provide a good estimate of the psychological attribute, and is not interpretable. The first objective of the paper is to demonstrate that the cut-off threshold values (23 points and 5 points) proposed by some authors are inadequate. Other cut-off threshold values should be used. Most importantly, the second goal of this paper is to demonstrate that the notion of unitary abilities that was guiding principle of interpretation is also inadequate. Indeed, nonunitary index still provides relevant information.     

Du secret médical aux dossiers de santé électroniques. Réflexions juridiques sur la protection des données de santé

Health data give rise to a plurality of qualifications. The exercise players are forced this not unusual for the legal system. In the case of health data, especially when these data are processed through folders to which several categories of actors need access, it may still be problematic. Electronic medical records, in which the authorities have in recent years invested a lot of hope and money, fail to cross the course of a generalization though it was presented as being beneficial for our public health system and financing of health spending. Without exaggerating the extent of social problems related to the interpretation and application of standards, it is reasonable to think that they are partly responsible for this fact. After presenting the two great bodies of norms which where initially protecting personal health data, this paper develops the analysis of their confrontation before highlighting the status of one of the most complex issues in this field, that is the people's consent to the various treatments that their data may be subject of.     

Sciences médicales et droit constitutionnel. Rapport introductif

This article reconsiders the reasons which justify to be interested in the links which exist between medical sciences and the constitutional law and presents the various contributions of the conference organized by the Center of constitutional law of the University Jean-Moulin (Lyon 3) devoted to this question.     

Taiwanese adolescents' intention model of visiting Internet cafés.

This study intended to construct an intention model of visiting Internet cafés. Four hundred eighty-three Taiwanese high school students were surveyed during March 2002. The results indicated that intention increased with positive attitude toward visiting Internet cafés, the intention was only rarely affected by significant others, intention strengthened with the quantity of resources and skills perceived, and past behavior negatively influenced the intention. Three conclusions were drawn: (a) The proposed model can effectively predict adolescent intention to visit Internet cafés. (b) Past behavior was the main predictor of intention. (3) In terms of intention to visit Internet cafés, there is a strengthening of individualism and a weakening of normative influences. Finally, suggestions and recommendations were made for practice and future research.     

Inhomogénéité des évaluations de durée d’incapacité totale de travail. Comparaison d’évaluations des durées d’incapacité totale de travail entre les médecins légistes,les médecins généralistes et les urgentistes

Setting a total length for time off work is a forensic act that all physicians must be able to perform. Given the importance of the legal consequences of this evaluation, it seems desirable that this practice is mastered by all practitioners. However, in practice there is often a disparity between forensic assessments and evaluations provided by other practitioners. To assess this difference in evaluation, we conducted a retrospective study, looking at 4 years of archives, of victims of Marseille's forensic service (CHU Timone), and highlighted a disparity between medical examiners, GPs and emergency physician's assessments. In both comparisons between medical examiners versus GPs (n = 367) or medical examiners versus emergency physicians (n = 511), were found in one third of cases of forensic requalification. The majority of checks on where GP's (80%) determined on over 8 days leave were reassessed under this limit by a medical examiner. This trend is reversed for the majority of (61%) requalification cases of emergency assessments (assessment over eight days by medical examiners. This study, proving a fact long suspected, raises many questions about these disparities evaluation we have discussed.     

Les préjudices professionnels des jeunes victimes de dommages corporels. La reconnaissance jurisprudentielle du préjudice professionnel des jeunes victimes. Partie 1

Compensation for professional damages in respect of young victims who remain disabled following an accident or assault remains problematic for personal injury compensation practitioners. However, such professional damages, recognized in principle by the Dintilhac group, were confirmed by the Court of Cassation in terms of full compensation for damages, both for loss of future earnings (PGPF), and professional incidence (IP). Though the burden of proof lies with the victim, experts have a major role to play in assessing these losses by setting out the foreseeable impact of the after-effects on the victim's professional activities, and on his or her professional potential before and after the injury, along with limitations in terms of the jobs the victim is subsequently able to do.     

Réalité virtuelle et santé des personnes âgées institutionnalisées. Vers un EHPAD 2.0 ?

Virtual reality (VR) is used in general health care: prevention, physical medicine, chronic and acute pain, quality of life in palliative care, and in psychiatry: anxiety, depression, addiction, psychosis. Our objective is showing VR using among elderly people in French retirement home. Virtual reality is showing efficacy as distraction, anti-pain, tranquillising, antidepressant methods. It should be an answer to many elderly health problems. VR is easy to use, with low side effects. Non-drug treatments among elderly people are recommended. Used as complementary or alternative medicine, VR must be shaped for using with old and fragile people in retirement home.     

La recherche scientifique sur les prélèvements biologiques réalisés dans le cadre des autopsies et objets de scellés judiciaires. Nécessité d’une adaptation législative

Currently, it is legally impossible to conduct scientific research on tissue and organ samples taken from forensic autopsies. In fact, the law schedules the destruction of such samples at the end of the judicial investigation, and the common law rules governing cadaver research cannot be applied to the forensic context. However, nothing seems in itself to stand in the way of such research since, despite their specific nature, these samples from forensic autopsies could be subject, following legislative amendments, to common law relating to medical research on samples taken from deceased persons. But an essential legislative amendment will have the goal firstly to allow the Biomedicine Agency to become authorized to issue a research permit and secondly, to change the research conditions in terms of the non-opposition of the deceased to the said research. Such an amendment would be a true breakthrough because it would allow teams to continue to move forward calmly in research, and allow this research to be placed within a legal framework, which would promote international exchanges.
