Ethical issues: invasive ventilation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
2012
The first man was a school headmaster. By his eye-gaze system he is able to order coins to enlarge his 10-year collection. His grandchildren extort presents from him in exchange for help. The second was a prefect and even now insists that the flowers in the garden represent the national flag. In spite of his gastrostomy, he still likes to sip his espresso from porcelain cups. The ventilation circuit 24/7 has not changed his custom to read the newspapers and listen to classical music in the living room. That girl is a young mum. She is fed by a tube, but she always makes her little child laugh with the dialectal phrases that she writes on the screen. The surgeon, every day in his electric wh…
Interactions, spillovers de connaissance et croissance des économies modernes. Faut-il préférer la globalisation ou la proximité géographique ?
2009
Globalisation and metropolisation in modern economies induce some locational strategies of knowledge based activities towards cities and deeply increase trade and move of ideas across cities. In that context, we study the way knowledge spillovers have influenced the economic growth of 82 European Metropolises over the 1990-2005 period. We model knowledge spillovers across cities according to three specific interaction patterns depending either on geography or on global advanced services or thought a combination of these patterns. We show that the mixed pattern matters the best for economic growth of cities in Europe.
Ecclesial Goals of the ”First Oration of Peace” by Gregory of Nazianzus
2020
Spośród trzech mów na temat pokoju pierwszą z nich Grzegorz z Nazjaznu wygłosił najprawdopodobniej w lutym 364 r. Jej wątkiem wiodącym było przywrócenie pokoju i zgody u zwaśnionych stron we wspólnocie kościelnej Nazjanzu. Powodem sporu okazało się opaczne złożenie podpisu przez Grzegorza Starszego pod wyznaniem wiary, które było w tej miejscowości rozpowszechniane przez ariańskiego przedstawiciela. Dla mówcy podłożem do przywrócenia pokoju były wspólne idee łączące zwaśnione strony, czyli wiara w jednego Boga, zgodne interpretacje zagadnień trynitarnych i pragnienie jedności. Pokój, o który zabiegał Grzegorz, okazał się wartością jednoczącą wszystkich tworzących społeczność kościelną w Naz…
The effects of socio-scientific issue based inquiry learning on pupils’ representations of landscape
2016
AbstractResearch has demonstrated that socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning has significant advantages for learning outcomes and students’ motivation. Further, a successful understanding of landscapes in environmental and geographical education can be achieved by combining informal learning environments with school education. Therefore this case study focuses on how socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning carried out in school and in a Nature Park, influences primary school pupils’ (n = 36) representations of landscapes. The pupils were asked to draw and write about landscape both before and after intervention. The data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to inves…
Contribuciones de una intervención didáctica usando cuestiones sociocientíficas para desarrollar el pensamiento crítico
2021
El propósito de este estudio es presentar el impacto de una intervención usando cuestiones sociocientíficas para desarrollar el pensamiento crítico en estudiantes universitarios. Se hizo un estudio cuasiexperimental pretest-postest con 56 estudiantes durante 16 semanas. La información del pretest y postest fue valorada desde un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo del contenido, que permite comparar el tipo de respuestas de los participantes una vez finalizada la intervención. El análisis indica que los estudiantes emiten argumentos más fundamentados en relación con valorar aspectos sociales de la ciencia, cuestionan la información a partir de comparación de diversas fuentes y hacen reflexio…
Expectations And Mindsets Related To GDPR
2022
The aim of this qualitative case study is to examine the initial expectations and assumptions related to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union from the perspectives of selected Finnish organizations: what were the initial expectations of GDPR, how were they adapted/refined over time, and what was the impact on organizational planning and resourcing. There are no precise earlier studies on the subject. The research question was: What were the organizations’ initial expectations of GDPR - and how have they affected the efforts made?

Communication et médiation par le toucherdans quelques expositions de sciences : Limites et contraintes dans l’expérience des visiteurs
2016
This communication deals with the “general public” of visitors to a number of interactive exhibits that accord a direct or indirect role to the sense of touch in knowledge mediation and interpretation. The role of touch is discussed in terms of its limitations and constraints in communication situations. The social mobilizations of touch are not immediately evident; what are the conditions under which visitors actually use touch in experiencing an exhibit? What connections with other signifiers are the most conducive to reception? This qualitative research relies on observation and interviews. Apprehension of interactive objects appears to be dependent on the surrounding setting of sociabil…
