This research focuses on the approach used in African environments to diagnose autism where, in most communities, people with autism not only do not receive this diagnosis, but some are also related to social diagnosis of witchcraft. The study seeks to assess a population of people with intellectual disabilitiy, deafness, mental illness or social diagnosis of witchcraft. The objective is to identify, among them, those who not only meet the Pervasive Development Disorders diagnostic criteria (TED), but also those who are autistic. The Pervasive Disorder Rating Scale Development and other related disorders (EATA) was used to screen participants with PDD. CARS and ADI-R scales were used to identify, among the participants with ASD, those with autism. All participants with autism also reach an intellectual disability diagnostic at the Bonhomme Goodenough test and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R). The results confirm that autism can be identified in the population of children with various developmental disorders. In the African context, autistic children can be identified among those who are considered as with the witchcraft.

In the context of globalization and increasing flexibility in production, are cooperatives an appropriate organizational form and competitive enough to meet today's needs? How do they increase social capital and support local communities? This article tries to answer these questions based on case studies of agricultural cooperatives in the Northeast region of Brazil and the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. It appears that the agricultural cooperatives in both regions face the same difficulties. Different internal and external business strategies are identified, such as developing partnerships, certification processes and diversifying products, showing that cooperatives are able to meet the challenges of very different economic and social environments.

In spite of the fact that women have made giant steps in many different fields for the recognition of their equality, genealogy and family history, leisure activities increasing in popularity, remain paradoxically domains submitted to a patriarchal theory and practice. The main reason being the constant orientation on the patronymics inherited from the father figure. Thereby women have no ancestry of their own. This situation perpetuates the non-recognition of the women's importance as mothers by keeping them invisible. This text suggests a feminist critique of the situation, focussing on transmission of family name since the revision of the Civil code of Québec in 1981. Starting from this analysis, I suggest to bring to life the other half of the world of uterine lineage by its uterine pioneer, as well as the uterine ancestry, all of this with the aim of putting as much emphasis on women as on men in genealogy and family history. Few paths within feminist research are suggested to bring this claim forward.

This essay examines the United States Supreme Court's 2018 decision in Janus v AFSCME, Council 31, which concluded that agency shop provisions violate the First Amendment rights of public sector workers who are not union members but receive the fruits of the representation. This decision reversed over 40 years of precedent and imposed “right to work” as a new federal constitutional mandate, fulfilling the dream of anti-union forces since the first Gilded Age.The essay begins with a brief history of the open shop movement and the development of the agency shop as a constitutionally permissible form of union security in the private and public sectors. It then describes how an activist Supreme Court majority undermined the constitutionality of the agency shop, which set the stage for the Janus decision. The essay summarizes the majority and dissenting opinions in Janus, and describes how unions, employers, and some state legislatures are responding to the decision's immediate impact.
