Cropping system dynamics, climate variability, and seed losses among East African smallholder farmers: a retrospective survey.
2014
Abstract Climate variability directly affects traditional low input and rain-fed farming systems, but few studies have paid attention retrospectively to the cropping system’s ability to mitigate climate risk. This study analyzes the impacts of rainfall variability on farmers’ seed variety losses over time, considering changes in smallholder farming systems. The cropping system dynamics, in favoring maize at the expense of sorghum and pearl millet, have induced an increasing risk of seed loss during drought. Combining ecological anthropology and climatology, a retrospective survey asking farmers about the period 1961–2006 was carried out at three altitudinal levels (750, 950, and 1100 m) on …

Induced mutations in the TI1 gene encoding a major double-headed protease inhibitor in Pisum sativum L. can reduce significantly the inhibition of ta…

BAP GEAPSI; International audience; Trypsin / chymotrypsin inhibitors in the seeds of many legume crop species are regarded as antinutritional proteins often leading to a requirement for heat-treatment of seed products prior to their use in feed. A TILLING resource developed in Pisum sativum L. (pea) was exploited to identify mutants in the major seed-expressed trypsin / chymotrypsin inhibitor gene, TI1, where the inhibition of either or both of the target enzymes may be reduced. Three lines with missense mutations in TI1, predicted to affect activity through alteration of (a) a conserved cysteine residue, (b) the P1′ serine within the active site of the chymotrypsin inhibitory domain or (c…
University Governance and Finance: The Impact of Changes in Resource Allocation on Decision Making Structures
2002
When trying to account for changes that take place over time in the structure of any organisation, social scientists often use a conceptual framework known as resource dependency theory. This theory assumes that organisations survive only if they are able to react to changes that occur in the world around them in order to obtain the resources they need to stay in operation. Since they have the capacity for independent action, organisations are not passively shaped by their environment; they sometimes are also able to influence it.

EMbaRC designing training and e-learning materials for biological resource centres
2012
International audience; The European Consortium of Microbial Resource Centres (EMbaRC, www.embarc.eu) is a research infrastructure project gathering together the major microbial Biological Resource Centres (BRCs) in Europe. These cultures collections have a long and respected tradition in training people that are involved in microbial taxonomy, preservation and management. Advanced and bespoke courses on related topics add high value to the European educational community and create a knowledge-based training network. Under the framework of EMbaRC, the training programmes offered by the consortium were surveyed and schemes were proposed to establish an educational community to create a knowl…

When professionals force managers to adopt a decoupling strategy
2015
Top managers in organizations usually adopt a “decoupling” strategy to regulate relations with the professionals whom they employ. The concept of decoupling worked out by Meyer and Rowan (1977) can be used to analyze senior management’s decision to avoid confrontations with professionals by accepting, more or less outright, differences between the institution’s norms and the practices of professionals. Operating in this way is no longer obvious, since managers increasingly interfere in the “business” of professionals. The latter still have resources for countering top management’s strategy of “conformity” with the requirements of institutional representatives ; but they have to put up a fig…
