Scientists’ public outreach and engagement have been analyzed in many disciplines, but not in animal experimentation science, even though its relationship with society is complex. Research shows that scientists are active: they participate in public outreach and engagement activities. Scientists profile themselves mostly via the deficit model persp...

Statistics is involved in sport curricula, due to its importance in science in general and in sport sciences in particular (see for example the development of specific disciplines such as saber-metrics in baseball). The aim of this study is to investigate attitudes toward the first statistics course − the most relevant predictor for achievement − a...

Introduction In the evolving landscape of the 21st century, digital interventions have emerged as innovative tools for transferring knowledge efficiently and sustainably into sports practices.

Returning to paid work (RTW) is of utmost relevance for stroke survivors and associated with enhanced quality of life. Additionally, post-stroke unemployment has dramatic socioeconomic consequences, especially in the youngest population during their most productive years. Inconsistent evidence highlight that post-stroke RTW varies from 4% to 91%....

Introduction: The Athlete's Biological Passport (ABP) is a tool for the indirect detection of blood doping. Guidelines from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) require a 2 hours delay after any physical exercise, and to be seated for 10 minutes before collecting an ABP sample. This study investigated posture-related hematological variations with c...

L’expérimentation animale: progrès scientifique ou pratique cruelle et injustifiée? L’actualité ne cesse de nous renvoyer des images contradictoires du procédé, objet d’une controverse se révélant des plus complexes. Quelles évolutions le débat connaît-il depuis les années 1950 ? Ce livre vise la compréhension de la controverse, en présentant la co...

Returning to paid work (RTW) is of utmost relevance for survivors of minor or major stroke and is associated with enhanced quality of life [1], [2]. Additionally, post-stroke unemployment has dramatic socioeconomic consequences, especially in the youngest population during their most productive years [3], [4]. Inconsistent evidence highlight that p...

The Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is a tool for the indirect detection of blood doping. Current guidelines from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) require a delay of 2 hours after any physical exercise and to be seated for 10 minutes prior to any blood sampling to obtain a valid measurement. Since body position prior to and during phlebotomy m...

Musical performance requires the ability to master a complex integration of highly specialized motor, cognitive, and perceptual skills developed over years of practice. It often means also being able to deal with considerable pressure within dynamic environments. Consequently, many musicians suffer from health-related problems and report a large nu...

How executive function training paradigms can be effectively designed to promote a transfer of the effects of interventions to untrained tasks remains unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that training with a complex task involving motor, perceptual and task-set control components would result in more transfer than training with a simple motor c...

Le développement actuel de méthodes statistiques de plus en plus spécialisées et sophistiquées, combiné, entre autres, à ce qui s’apparente à de la frilosité du côté des revues, font que la lecture des statistiques demeure un art compliqué pour le clinicien et se résume trop souvent à « on ne comprend rien, on avale tout ». Dans cet article, nous n...

FRENCH VERSION OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS DEVELOPMENT EXCELLENCE QUESTIONNAIRE (PCDEQ): CULTURAL ADAPTATION AND INITIAL VALIDATION

Context: A growing amount of recent research in sport psychology has focused on trying to understand withdrawals from ultra-races. However, according to the Four E approach, the studies underestimated the embedded components of these experiences and particularly how they were linked to the specific environmental conditions in which the experiences...

Objective The goal of this article is to understand the attitudes toward nuclear energy after the Fukushima accident. Such an analysis necessitates the avoidance of a dichotomous perspective (pro/against)—consider “supporter,” “neither‐nor,” and “opponent”—and to determine the effect of various factors on attitudes. Methods This study analyzes a 2...

Switzerland has implemented a mandatory training in laboratory animal science since 1999; however a comprehensive assessment of its effects has never been undertaken so far. The results from the analysis of participants in the Swiss Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA) Category B compulsory courses in laboratory an...

Studies on ultra-endurance suggest that during the races, athletes typically experience three vitality states (i.e., preservation, loss, and revival) at the phenomenological level. Nevertheless, how these states contribute to the management and outcome of performance remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether and how the vitali...

The last 10 years have been characterised by significant changes in the Swiss academic market. The system is becoming more international, the chair model is giving way to a department-based model, and attempts are being made to integrate historically segmented sub-markets into a single national market. These transformations have been substantial.

This article proposes a checklist to improve statistical reporting in the manuscripts submitted to Public Understanding of Science. Generally, these guidelines will allow the reviewers (and readers) to judge whether the evidence provided in the manuscript is relevant. The article ends with other suggestions for a better statistical quality of the j...

Most universities and higher education systems have formally taken up a third mission, which involves various public outreach and engagement activities.
