La médecine dans la rue: Genève 1600-1800
La déambulation historique dans la vieille ville de Genève proposée ici est l’occasion de rappeler l’importance médicale de la rue avant la médecine scientifique. La rue est alors un lieu ambigu, à la fois porteuse de dangers sanitaires et pourvoyeuse de soignants et de soins. Cet article retrace trois articulations clés de cette médecine, (a) l’histoire des charlatans opérateurs et vendeurs de remèdes actifs dans les rues et sur les places publi…

Efficacy of an instant messaging-based life-skills training program to prevent behavioral risk factors among adolescents in Europe: Study protocol of a cluster-randomized controlled trial
One of the most significant risk factors for cancer and several other adverse health outcomes is nicotine and tobacco use. Life-skills training programs conducted within the school curriculum are effective in preventing substance use, including nicotine and tobacco use, however, large-scale implementation is hindered by time, organizational and financial constraints. Providing life-skills training programs via smartphones may be a more economical…

Predictors of Youth Accessibility for a Mobile Phone-Based Life Skills Training Program for Addiction Prevention
SmartCoach is an attractive offer for young people, in which two out of three young people who are invited in the classroom to participate do so. Among the program participants, the use of the program is acceptable, with an average of almost half of the content being worked on. There is potential for improvement in terms of recruitment, especially in school classes with a lower level of education. The most important starting point for improving p…

UN Peacekeeping at 75: Achievements, Challenges, and Prospects
This year marks the 75th anniversary of what the UN itself understands to be its first peacekeeping operation. It is therefore an appropriate time to reflect on the track record of UN peacekeeping in its efforts to try to maintain and realize peace and security. Moreover, this milestone invites us to ponder what lies ahead in the realm of peacekeeping. For this reason, this forum article brings together both academics and UN officials to assess t…
Littérature et syphilis. Le roman de prévention antivénérien (1890‐1910)
Entre 1890 et 1910, on assiste à l’émergence d’œuvres romanesques qui se donnent spécifiquement pour objectif la lutte contre les maladies vénériennes en général et contre la syphilis en particulier. Le présent article propose une première interprétation de ce corpus peu étudié et qui ne peut être compris en dehors de sa double identité médicale et littéraire. Quelles en sont les caractéristiques structurantes ? Comment, en tant que récit littéra…

Efficacy of a Mobile App-Based Coaching Program for Addiction Prevention among Apprentices: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
The majority of apprentices invited for program participation within vocational schools participated in the ready4life program for addiction prevention. The mobile app-based coaching was effective in reducing risk behaviors such as at-risk drinking and problematic Internet use in a group of adolescents who have an especially high risk of engaging in addictive activities
Artificial Intelligence, Forward‐Looking Governance and the Future of Security
Over the last years, AI applications have come to play a role in many security‐related fields. In this paper, we show that scholars who want to study AI’s link to power and security should widen their perspective to include conceptual approaches from science and technology studies (STS). This way, scholars can pay attention to critical dynamics, processes, practices, and non‐traditional actors in AI politics and governance. We introduce two STS‐i…
Monika Pietrzak-Franger, Syphilis in Victorian Literature and Culture. Medicine, Knowledge and the Spectacle of Victorian Invisibility: New York, Palgrave MacMillan, 2017
Les nombreux livres d’histoire sur la syphilis publiés ces dernières années portent généralement sur les liens entre la maladie et un « domaine » particulier, tel que la connaissance scientifique, la morale, l’expérimentation, la prophylaxie ou encore la régulation de la prostitution. Au sein de cette production, la très sérieuse étude de Monika Pietrzak-Franger se singularise par une problématique transversale originale : la syphilis est une mal…

Step-by-Step, an E-Mental Health Intervention for Depression: A Mixed Methods Pilot Study From Lebanon
Step-by-Step skills and techniques, model of service integration, and its non-specialist support element are acceptable. Though the sample was small and non-controlled and drop-out was high, results suggest that it may be effective in reducing depression and anxiety symptoms and increasing well-being. Lessons learned will inform content revision, the development of an app version of Step-by-Step, and the research methodology of upcoming effective…

Cyber security meets security politics: Complex technology, fragmented politics, and networked science
In the last decade, cyber incidents have become more expensive, more disruptive, and in many cases more political, with a new body of theoretically informed research emerging in parallel. This article provides the intellectual history to situate this literature in its broader evolutionary context. After identifying and discussing six drivers from the fields of technology, politics, and science that have been influential in the evolution of cyber …

The Programmatic and Institutional (Re‐)Configuration of the Swiss National Security Field
Traditionally, Swiss national security focused intimately on the military protection of national territory and institutions. Following the principles of armed neutrality and autonomous defense, the field was organized closely by the Defense Ministry and shied away from sizable international security partnerships. Since the end of the Cold War, however, the policy domain has moved far beyond such positions. It expanded from military and civil defe…

Explaining Cooperation and Conflict in Marine Boundary Disputes Involving Energy Deposits
In 2010 Russia and Norway signed a treaty that ended a 40-year dispute by dividing territory in the Barents Sea. Why did this case end in a cooperative agreement rather than continue an on-going dispute? This article examines a number of possible explanations at the international, bilateral, and domestic politics levels to answer this question. Ultimately, it concludes that the 2010 Norway-Russia boundary delimitation agreement succeeded because …

Democratization and War in Political Science
This article explores what political science literature has to say about the promises and perils of expanding democratic governance. International relations literature and comparative politics literature both deal with the claim that stable democracies do not fight each other. However, these two strands of literature only to a minor extent exchange research findings on the causes of war. International relations scholars are well aware of the fact…

The civilianization of armed conflict: Trends and implications
Civilians play an increasingly important and complex role in armed conflicts, both as victims and as perpetrators. While this overall trend towards ‘civilianization’ encompasses all types of present-day conflicts, it is twofold: it takes on a very different nature in high-technology warfare than in the context of low-technology combats that are typical of many civil wars. This article explores these two trends, shows how they merge in asymmetric …

At the Crossroads of Diplomatic and Social History: The Nuclear Revolution, Dissent and Détente
This article narrates interactions between diplomacy and social protest. Section 1 examines the international political and military pressures that elicited the 'little détente' of 1963. Section 2 focuses on reforms within alliances and domestic institutions during the early 1960s. Section 3 looks at the long-term shortcomings of détente, especially in light of the near global revolts of 1968 and successive years. Comparative differences in polit…

Lire l'onanisme. Le discours médical sur la masturbation et la lecture féminines au xviiie siècle
Cet article propose une analyse croisée du discours médical sur la masturbation et sur la lecture en France au XVIIIe siècle. Son but est d'interroger la construction de la définition « naturalisante » des qualités attribuées à l'un et l'autre sexe. A partir de traités physiologiques sur les maladies des femmes, la réflexion porte sur trois points principaux. Pourquoi la lecture et la masturbation sont-ils devenus des problèmes médicaux ?

A ‘special case’ between independence and interdependence: Cold War studies and Cold War politics in post-Cold War Switzerland
Switzerland only played a marginal role in the Cold War, even though the small country was situated very close to the central battleground of any potential armed conflict in Europe the ‘special role’ that Switzerland played in the East-West conflict was closely linked to its policy of strict neutrality. Swiss Cold War historians have focused on the reasons for the emergence of Switzerland's ‘special case’ in foreign and security policy and on the…
Crisis and Opportunity: Nato's Transformation and the Multilateralization of Détente, 1966–1968
This article discusses how the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) overcame the challenged posed by France in the mid to late 1960s. French President Charles de Gaulle's decision to withdraw France's remaining forces from NATO's integrated military commands, and his visit to Moscow shortly thereafter, exposed the alliance to unprecedented tension. Yet as NATO moved toward a crisis, opportunities arose to define a new vision for the alliance…

La Vénus physiologique: Illusion et ironie dans les Lettres de Fanni Butlerd (1757)
Le premier roman de Mme Riccoboni s'est rapidement imposé comme un chef-d'œuvre du genre épistolaire. Dès sa parution, Fanni Butlerd a frappé ses lecteurs par la simplicité pathétique avec laquelle elle évoque son amour malheureux. Mais en réduisant ce texte à l'expression spontanée d'une passion et en ne l'envisageant que comme une écriture du déversement de soi, peut-être le public du XVIIIe siècle et certains critiques actuels à sa suite sont-…
