La régulation de l'éducation en France et dans les pays anglo-saxons. Une comparaison
2004
The autonomy of the schools increased in most educational systems for the last twenty years. So, educational systems had to implement regulation policies in order to orient the action of the agents towards the nation's aims. While England and the United States implemented a regulation by results (incentives linked to school's or teacher's results), France relies on a regulation by process (incentives to implement ‘pedagogical forms' which are supposed to be relevant). These two policies are described, then they are confronted with regard to their internal coherence and tensions, with in mind the question of the French model being a viable one, able to offer an option to the anglo-saxon mode…
Innovating European Long-Term Care Policies through the Socio-Economic Support of Families: A Lesson from Practices
2022
LTC and socio-economic deprivation of families are two relevant issues in international debate. The economic or time investment made by families in caregiving has an impact on the socio-economic status of family members in terms of economic means and social inclusion. This study analyzes the practices that are supported by home LTC, examining their characteristics, identifying their strengths, weaknesses, drivers, and barriers, as well as identifying social innovation aspects. The study provides a qualitative interpretative comparison of 22 practices from eight countries, representing the four LTC care models existing in Europe. Cross-studies aid in the development of sustainable policies. …
Identification of effective parameters for anti-inflammatory concentration in València City's wastewater using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative anal…
2019
The current literature about pharmaceutical and personal care compounds (PPCPs) focuses on identifying their concentration and toxicological risk both in surface water and in wastewater. However, the influence of urban areas (population ageing, income level, hospitals and others) has not yet been analysed. Knowing how a population (and its facilities) affects PPCPs' presence in wastewater is important to identify the conditions that are responsible for their presence. In this work, the influence of water consumption, population ageing, income level, hospitals and nursing homes on the anti-inflammatory concentration have been analysed. To fill the gap between the quantitative data on PPCPs' …

Decisiones automatizadas: problemas y soluciones jurídicas. Más allá de la protección de datos
2021
La creciente capacidad computacional de los sistemas automatizados de procesamiento de datos ha generado un aumento de su utilización en toda clase de actividades humanas. Estos sistemas pueden procesar cantidades masivas de datos y proporcionar resultados muy precisos, ayudando a los responsables de la toma de decisiones, tanto en el sector público como en el privado, a clasificar a los seres humanos y a predecir sus acciones. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha venido demostrando que estos sistemas pueden generar importantes riesgos para los derechos fundamentales y otros valores y principios democráticos. Hasta la fecha, las normas en materia de protección de datos han constituido el …
English and French Modes of Regulation of the Education System : a comparison
2003
03069; International audience; This paper describes English and French modes of regulation of the educational system, stressing the contrast between them (regulation by process versus regulation by outcomes), while their goals and organisation prove rather more convergent over the last 30 years. It tries to assess the correspondence between those two ways of operating and what we know about the functioning of organisations like schools. From that point of view, the French system fits the economic theory of organisation less well than the English one, so that some contradictions and tensions are predictable. Last, it looks for some relationhip with indicators of effectiveness, equity and soc…
Causal complexity of new product development processes : a mechanism-based approach
2018
The outcomes of new product development (NPD) processes are dependent on the interplay of several interdependent activities. One product development activity can be dependent on the presence or absence of other activities, different kinds of NDP processes may lead to the same outcome, and specific kinds of activities may have a positive effect in one process but no effect in other processes. However, we currently lack means to examine and explain this causal complexity inherent in NPD processes. To address this issue, we introduce mechanism-based approach as a way to capture conjunctural and equifinal causal relations. We build this approach on the philosophical literature on mechanism-base…

Reading Italian Psychoanalysis
2017
The book springs out from the will, expressed by some American psychoanalysts in 2010, to have a collection of some of the most representative Italian contributions to psychoanalysis, in that Italian psychoanalysis had undertaken an original and interesting theoretical and technical configuration yet not fully known abroad. So, history and epistemology of psychoanalysis needed of such a source.
