India’s Turn to Rights-Based Legislation (2004–2014): A Critical Review of the Literature

2018

This article surveys the academic literature on rights-based legislation and critically discusses key findings and arguments that emerge from this literature. I conduct this survey and discussion in light of a wider understanding of the political economy of Indian democracy as resilient but limited in terms of substantial forms of redistribution and recognition in favour of subaltern groups. This contradiction has arguably become especially pronounced in the context of neoliberalisation, where, despite the active participation of the poor in electoral democracy, socioeconomic inequality has reached dramatic heights, and I discuss rights-based legislation as a response to this. In conclusio…

Virilité et masculinité des hommes handicapés

2011

A partir d’un travail clinique recent avec Marcel Nuss sur la virilite avec des hommes atteints d’un handicap l’auteur s’interroge sur les liens entre virilite et masculinite. Est interrogee l’identite sexuelle comme part de l’identite socialement construite dans un dispositif de sexualite. La clinique de l’homme handicape physique, suppose depourvu de virilite vient eclairer la clinique du masculin en general. Ne peut-on jouer un role masculin (par exemple dans la fonction paternelle, dans la sexualite ou au travail) sans posseder les attributs stereotypes de la virilite ?

Les trajectoires des footballeurs africains à la lumière de la mondialisation.

2010

Depuis la promulgation de l’arrêt « Bosman  » en 1995, le nombre de joueurs expatriés recensés dans les principaux championnats européens a considérablement augmenté. Cet article montre que cette augmentation a surtout concerné les joueurs originaires d’Afrique et d’Amérique latine. Leur mobilité intervient dans un contexte très spéculatif au sein duquel de nombreux intermédiaires interagissent pour construire les canaux migratoires permettant aux joueurs de circuler à travers différents pays. Les trajectoires idéales — typiques de joueurs africains en Europe — permettent d’illustrer les logiques sociales, géographiques et économiques à la base de ces flux. Since the “Bosman” law in 1995, t…

Eye Movement Analyses for Obtaining Readability Formula for Latvian Texts for Primary School

2017

To determine the difficulty of text, readability formulas can be used. The research was made to find readability formula for Latvian. Readability formulas for English were used as guidelines. The novelty was the use of eye movement tracking during reading to obtain quantitative data that lead to readability formula. Eye fixation durations were gathered during readability measurements. Average values of fixation durations were calculated to characterize texts and readers. 15 texts with various difficulty levels were composed for exposing them to readers. More than 300 children of grades 1 - 4 were participating in measurements. Average values of eye fixation durations of readers from a certa…

Diseño de tareas telecolaborativas para el aprendizaje de idiomas con cuentos del mundo

2018

Este artículo se centra en el diseño de tareas de telecolaboración para el desarrollo de competencias lingüísticas, literarias, interculturales y digitales, teniendo en cuenta las diferentes acciones llevadas a cabo antes y durante el proyecto de cara a garantizar el éxito del mismo. La propuesta, realizada en el marco del proyecto iTECLA, conjuga la telecolaboración con la redacción e intercambio de cuentos que reflejan valores culturales de los respectivos países de origen de los participantes. El proyecto implica la realización de una serie de tareas por parte de cada estudiante, mediante un proceso guiado de análisis y reflexión basado en métodos de trabajo telecolaborativo en línea en …

Compensation of Oxygen Transmittance Effects for Proximal Sensing Retrieval of Canopy–Leaving Sun–Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence

2018

Estimates of Sun–Induced vegetation chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) using remote sensing techniques are commonly determined by exploiting solar and/or telluric absorption features. When SIF is retrieved in the strong oxygen (O 2 ) absorption features, atmospheric effects must always be compensated. Whereas correction of atmospheric effects is a standard airborne or satellite data processing step, there is no consensus regarding whether it is required for SIF proximal–sensing measurements nor what is the best strategy to be followed. Thus, by using simulated data, this work provides a comprehensive analysis about how atmospheric effects impact SIF estimations on proximal sensing, regarding: (…

Comparison of quantitative Holocene temperature reconstructions using multiple proxies from a northern boreal lake

2017

Four biotic proxies (plant macrofossils, pollen, chironomids and diatoms) are employed to quantitatively reconstruct variations in mean July air temperatures ( Tjul) at Lake Loitsana (northern Finland) during the Holocene. The aim is to evaluate the robustness and biases in these temperature reconstructions and to compare the timing of highest Tjul in the individual reconstructions. The reconstructed Tjul values are evaluated in relation to local-scale/site-specific processes associated with the Holocene lake development at Loitsana as these factors have been shown to significantly influence the fossil assemblages found in the Lake Loitsana sediments. While pollen-based temperatures follow…
