Endosperm cintribution to Medicago truncatula seed development : characterization of a DOF transcription factor expressed in chalazal endosperm
2014
In the current context, which necessitates a reduction in inputs in crop systems and boosting of production of plant proteins to reduce France’s dependency on feed imports,, growing legumes represents an alternative. Grain legumes are major sources of proteins for animal and human nutrition. In the UMR1347 Agroécologie, the objectives of the study group "déterminismes Génétiques et Environnementaux de l’Adaptation des Plantes à des Systèmes de culture Innovants" (GEAPSI) are to promote legume cultivation and adaptation to environmental stresses, via multidisciplinary approaches (genetics, ecophysiology, molecular physiology). This thesis project was carried out in the "Étude des Mécanismes …
Arnold Bennett, Giovanni Verga, David Herbert Lawrence. Transitional realism, translation and dialect
2012
This work investigates the relationship between translation, tran- sition and realism in connection with the development of di- alectal forms, the concept of city and travel images in late-nine- teenth-century literary production in Europe, with particular em- phasis on French, English and Italian realist literature. The process of transiting, which entails a mechanism of transformation resulting in innovation and change, is common in translation, realist literature, travel, and dialect as a linguistic break with stan- dard language. If translation is a system of transferring meaning from one set of language signs into another set of language signs, realism in literature is par excellence t…
Local State-Society Relations in European Countries: Main Findings
2020
The chapter details and discusses the main findings of a quantitative and qualitative comparative analysis of institutionalized networks of local state-society relations in 22 European countries. It provides empirical validation for the conceptual characterization of local state-society relations based on the dimensions of autonomy, coherence and relevance as well as the subsequent typology of networks. Moreover, it discusses and tries to explain differences in local state-society relations showcased by the country chapters of the book. First, it discusses whether countries and national infrastructures for local governance explain these differences. Second, it discusses whether the policy s…
Las cuatro muertes de Cleonice: poder, sexo, violencia y fantasmas
2019
Greek tradition links the death of regent Pausanias of Sparta with ghosts. In this paper, we focus on the well-known episode that revolves around Pausanias himself and a Byzantine maiden and is transmitted by Aristodemus, Plutarch and Pausanias Periegetes. The multiplicity of versions demands a comparative analysis, which we carry out taking into account the three spaces where the narrative action takes place (civic, intimate and ritual spaces). Results indicate a concordance between Plutarch and Pausanias Periegetes, as well as a dissonance between them and Aristodemus. This difference especially affects the narrative treatment of the maiden, a ghost properly so-called in Plutarch and Paus…
Inmigración y globalización: Acerca de los presupuestos de una política de inmigración
2003
Javier.de-Lucas@uv.es En la UE la política de inmigración supone la negación misma del inmigrante, pues no se acepta que venga aquí en otra calidad que la de trabajador. Debido a esta visión instrumental del inmigrante, el modelo de gestión de la inmigración parece sólo orientado a la lucha contra la inmigración ilegal. Se trata, por tanto, de un modelo policial de gestión de la inmigración. En España se plantean especiales problemas de política migratoria debido a la rapidez del proceso de nuestra transformación de país de emigración a país de destino, junto a la ausencia de dispositivos adecuados para gestionar esta transformación. Los principales problemas son la vinculación entre delinc…

2021
Abstract Crowdlending platforms are becoming increasingly important as a collective financing mechanism for entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those at an early stage. This study, which is based on a survey of investors on a Spanish crowdlending platform, uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to examine investor satisfaction with crowdlending platforms. Specifically, the study examines communication policies and the quality of the investor experience based on the information provided by these platforms. The value of this article lies in its examination of the antecedents of crowdlending investor satisfaction. The analysis shows that the…
The political, legal and moral scope of the universal declaration of human rights: pending issues
2018
With the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a new era began in the recognition and guarantee of human rights in the international area. However, since the moment of its approval, this text has received negative evaluations designed to relegate it to the background. The responses to these criticisms allow us to review their political and legal scope, and put it in value as a reference model in the field of human rights, delving into the pending issues to strengthen it. This is intended, on the seventieth anniversary of the Declaration, to insist that this remains an essential bridge to clarify standards that can serve as a basis for discussion between different cultures a…
Future Intentions of Fitness Center Customers: Effect of Emotions, Perceived Well-Being and Management Variables
2020
One of the main objectives of fitness center managers is to obtain high levels of loyalty from the customers of these fitness centers. Within the existing literature on fitness center management, previous research has analyzed the importance of the management variables themselves to determine the behavioral intentions of their customers, ignoring other psychological and sociodemographic aspects and focusing on linear relationship models. Therefore, this study, which aims to analyze the impact of different management variables along with psychological (emotions and subjective well-being) and demographic variables (age and sex) on the satisfaction, perceived value (PV) and future intentions (…
