On the classification of Kim and Kostrikin manifolds
2006
International audience; We completely classify the topological and geometric structures of some series of closed connected orientable 3-manifolds introduced by Kim and Kostrikin in [20, 21] as quotient spaces of certain polyhedral 3-cells by pairwise identifications of their boundary faces. Then we study further classes of closed orientable 3-manifolds arising from similar polyhedral schemata, and describe their topological properties.
Tentative de comparaison de l'équité des systèmes éducatifs français et américain
2002
Hier werden drei Gerechtigkeitsprinzipien definiert, mit deren Hilfe versucht wird, das Gerechtigkeitsniveau des französischen und des amerikanischen Bildungssystems miteinander zu vergleichen, d.h. zu entscheiden, welches der beiden Systeme die Konkretisierung jedes dieser Prinzipien am stärksten begünstigt. Dabei wird berücksichtigt, dass sie durch die Rahmenbedingungen in den beiden Ländern - insbesondere die sozialen Ungleichheiten - mehr oder weniger stark beeinflusst werden können. Die drei Prinzipien lauten: Jeder muss bei Schulabgang über minimale Kompetenzen verfügen; die individuellen Kompetenzungleichheiten dürfen nicht das gleichberechtigte gesellschaftliche Miteinander beeinträ…

L'indice de SEN, outil de mesure de l'équité des systèmes éducatifs. Une comparaison à l'échelle européenne
2005
05007; Sans développer à nouveau les théories de la justice, il est intéressant de s'intéresser à l'une d'elle en particulier, pour voir comment de façon instrumentale, il est possible de mesurer cette équité, grâce à la construction d'un indicateur particulier. La perspective adoptée par Sen notamment, permet de mesurer la justice par la proportion d'individus se situant sous un seuil. Au niveau du système éducatif, l'approche adoptée consiste à penser "qu'aucun élève ne doit quitter le système éducatif au dessous d'un seuil minimum de compétences pour vivre une vie décente dans une société moderne".
SENS's Indicator. A Tool for Measuring the Equity of Educational Systems. A Comparison of European Countries
2005
Initially, Sen's Indicator was built to measure the rate of poverty. Its principal advantage is that it considers three dimensions simultaniously: The rate of poverty, the intensity of poverty, the inequality of income distribution among the poor. For the work of GERESE, SEN's Indicator has been adapted for the educational system. We have built two indicators : an indicator of weakness of the students and another for the excellence of the students. I will develop in this text the indicator of weakness.
L'influence de l'origine sociale sur les performances scolaires : par où passe-t-elle ?
2006
Using PISA 2000 data, this study presents an international comparison of the way social origin influences reading comprehension performances, looking at a variety of variables, some external to the school system, others internal. A variable's effect is strong in proportion to the strength of its association to father's occupation and degree to which it favors performance. The study uses the method of path analysis to distinguish between these two aspects. The French situation is presented, then compared to twelve other European Union countries. In all countries, social origin influences performance much more strongly through external variables than variables internal to the educational syst…
Quick Affective Judgments: Validation of a Method for Primed Product Comparisons
2015
A method for primed product comparisons was developed, based on the methodological considerations of emotional appraisal process and affective mental contents. The method was implemented as a computer tool, which was utilised in two experiments (N = 18 for both). Ten adjectives served as primes, and five drinking glass pictures as stimuli. Participants' task was to choose a preference between two glasses, given the priming adjective. The results validate the method by providing test-retest reliability measures and showing convergence with questionnaires. Further, different evaluation times between the primes and the stimuli reveal the existence of different mental processes associated with …
Educación compensatoria : efectos recientes de un estudio clásico (High-Scope)
2014
Este artículo analiza dos estudios que prueban la tesis de que la educación de los desfavorecidos sociales en la edad temprana -3 y 4 años- merece la pena a corto y largo plazo. Para ello se analizan dos estudios preescolares complementarios –Perry y Curriculum -, de la Fundación High/Scope en los 60, evaluados en diversos momentos intermedios, el primero hasta alcanzar los 40 años y el segundo 23. Se describen los estudios y programas educativos, se analizan cuestiones metodológicas ligadas al seguimiento (muestra, validez, variables), se muestran los hallazgos, los tempranos específicamente escolares y otros de naturaleza distinta en la edad adulta. Finalmente se discute la modificabilida…
A comparison of injection pain with articaine with adrenaline, prilocaine with phenylpressin and lidocaine with adrenaline
2008
Kutuk, Nukhet/0000-0001-6563-1899 WOS: 000259667200006 PubMed: 18587306 Objective: The objective of the present study was to investigate the pain on injection of articaine with adrenaline, prilocaine with phenylpressin, and lidocaine with adrenaline. Study Design: The study sample was comprised of 497 consecutively seen patients received 497 maxillary buccal infiltration injections or inferior alveolar block injections of 4% articaine with 1: 200.000 adrenaline, 3% prilocaine with 1.08mcg phenylpressin, or 2% lidocaine with 1: 100.000 adrenaline. Immediately after the injection, patients were asked to rate their injection pain on a six-point scale. Results: There were no significant differe…
An Artificial Decision Maker for Comparing Reference Point Based Interactive Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Methods
2021
Comparing interactive evolutionary multiobjective optimization methods is controversial. The main difficulties come from features inherent to interactive solution processes involving real decision makers. The human can be replaced by an artificial decision maker (ADM) to evaluate methods quantitatively. We propose a new ADM to compare reference point based interactive evolutionary methods, where reference points are generated in different ways for the different phases of the solution process. In the learning phase, the ADM explores different parts of the objective space to gain insight about the problem and to identify a region of interest, which is studied more closely in the decision phas…
