SummaryWhile intense negative events are vividly recalled, information learned during stressful situations is poorly remembered. These differential effects of emotions and stress on memory have been attributed to the physiological manifestations generated during those affective states. Intense emotional and stressful events trigger the secretion of catecholamines and of glucocorticoids, in particular. These hormones would be modulatory agents of memory functions. In the first part of this paper, we review the specific effects emotions and stress have on memory. We then summarize the psychological and biological determinants responsible for these effects. Finally, we discuss different methodological issues that could explain the discrepancy found between the impact of emotions and stress on memory. Defining more precisely the effects emotion and stress have on memory will lead to a better comprehension of the cognitive problems that characterize patients dealing with emotional turmoil, such as patients suffering from depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.

The binary work/leisure continues to be used to categorize many human activities, but falls short for ways of life in which a particular set of values undergirds all activities. This paper discusses regenerative forms of growing and harvesting food – in particular, permaculture and natural farming – as values-based practices that blur the boundaries between work and leisure. While there are other values-based practices that unite vocation and avocation, permaculture and natural farming are of special interest because they respond to young climate activists' desire for ways of life that acknowledge that human activities are part of ecosystems, and that accept the need for an ecological transition.

This analysis will argue that university educators have an ethical obligation to advocate for admission policies that are not exclusively competitive in nature – what will be referred to later as levelling and remedy approaches. This argument will be detailed in four stages. First, it will use an anecdote and an appeal to virtue to argue that educators in universities should feel an ethical obligation to level the playing field of competitive admissions. Second, it will draw on the work of a Chris Martin and Ben Kotzee to provide a philosophical framework for my argument. Third, it will discuss examples from Scotland, Ontario, and British Columbia to consider the ways in which the status quo fails to meet our ethical commitments as educators. Fourth, and finally, it will posit the virtue-ethical argument that university educators should live out their commitment to being virtuous and philosophy of education by supporting admission policies that are not exclusively competitive.

AbstractIntrafamilial homicide is a complex phenomenon. Most cases are related to spousal murder, filicide (murder of a child by one or both parents) and parricide (murder of either father or mother). Following epidemiological data on intrafamilial homicides by mentally disordered perpetrators, an analysis of clinical aspects shared by those pathological homicides will be presented. Finally, a detailed description of each type of the most frequent intrafamilial homicides will be provided.

For five decades, Claudie Marcel-Dubois and Maguy Andral, key figures in ethnomusicology at the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions, collected study material of great diversity, addressing musical practices and organology on almost all French territory, including some overseas territories. On the eve of reopening its collections in Marseille, the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions (renamed MuCEM in 2005) launched a vast operation to safeguard the archives. The article sheds a particular light on the ethnomusicological archives which figure prominently in these collections. Thanks to a partnership between the National Archives, a team from the IIAC (CNRS-EHESS Anthropology Laboratory) and MuCEM, the digitization of the written archives, photographs and sound recordings is nearing completion and will soon be accessible on the Internet. The dematerialization of an unrivaled collection for ethnomusicology in France opens a broad range of new possibilities for examination and interpretation.

SummaryPotato growers require effective control of quackgrass (Elytrigia repens) so as to obtain maximum yield. We examined the effect of different quackgrass growth parameters on effectiveness of clethodim and compared clethodim to selected herbicides. Reduction of the initial top growth of quackgrass with clethodim applied at the five-leaf stage was less than at the three-leaf stage at all rates of application. Shoot regrowth and rhizome production occurred at rates of application from 0.075 to 0.150 kg a.i. ha-1 but only to a very minor level at the highest rate of 0.240 kg a.i. ha-1 at either stage of application. Control was not affected by rhizome length with equal reduction in initial growth, regrowth, and rhizome weight obtained on plants grown from two-node and ten-node rhizome pieces at rates of 0.120 kg a.i. ha-1 or higher. Removal of quackgrass shoots 6 hours after treatment resulted in increased regrowth and rhizome weight at all application rates but the response was progressively overcome by increasing the rate of application.The removal of quackgrass shoots 24 or 96 hours after treatment had no adverse effect on reduction in quackgrass growth indicating rapid clethodim translocation in the greenhouse. In the field, clethodim provided greater than 80% control of quackgrass at the three to four-leaf stage with 0.150 kg a.i. ha-1 when used in combination with ammonium sulphate.

Antoinette Bourgeois (1902-1991), daughter of the Franco-American photographer Ulric Bourgeois (1874-1963) of Manchester, New Hampshire, the last survivor of her family, recalls her memories in 1978. She speaks about her father, known for his photographs of rural Québec and of Manchester. Thanks to him, she met Charlie Lambert, known as the hermit of Mosquito Pond, situated near Manchester, as well as the writer-priest Henri d'Arles, a client of her father's. When her younger sister, Irène Bourgeois, fell victim to polio, she sought the aid of Brother André for a cure. Eventually, Antoinette entered the religious life as a Sister of Joan of Arc in Sillery, Québec, taking the name of Sister Céline. Consequently, she became acquainted with members of the Franco-American clergy in Rhode Island, partisans of one side or the other in the Sentinellist Movement. She also met Marie-Rose Ferron, known as Little Rose, the stigmatist of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Finally, after twenty years of religious life, Antoinette returned to her family to care for her parents until their deaths.
