La filière crème de cassis en Bourgogne
2010
Burgundy became the cradle of blackcurrant liqueur production at the end of the nineteenth century, and today, growing and processing the berries remains a significant economic activity for the region. The value chain is well-structured, but the domestic market is mature, forcing operators to come up with new strategies both at the level of each enterprise and collectively. Efforts to position blackcurrant liqueur as a trendy, contemporary drink have faced a struggle to win over domestic consumers, but the same can be said of all products in the segment. In contrast, foreign consumers are creating new ways to use the blackcurrant liqueur, opening up promising export opportunities for the Fr…
A new conceptual framework shows that plant genotype and soil nitrogen availability modify both plant nutritional strategies and diversity of their a…
2015
In the context of sustainable agriculture, it is desirable to lower the input of mineral fertilizers. Therefore, we need to select ‘new’ genotypes that are both adapted to ‘low fertilizer inputs’ and more efficient in nutrient use. A better understanding of plant-microbe interactions under low input of fertilizers is now needed. Nevertheless, in microbial ecology, conceptual frameworks or models are used to analyse plant-microbe interactions but plant phenotype is currently viewed as a “black box”. We developed a new conceptual framework to study plant-microbe interactions using a multidisciplinary approach combining Microbial Ecology and Plant Ecophysiology.The links among plant genotype, …
Le tourisme en milieu agropastoral en République de Djibouti, entre réinterprétation des grands modèles et trajectoires propres.
2009
Au cours des dernières décennies, le tourisme a connu de profonds bouleversements. Certains effets pervers de cette activité sur les territoires qui l’abritent ont été dénoncés, et dans le même temps diverses alternatives (comme l’écotourisme) sont apparues. Le continent africain fait figure de front pionnier, voire d’initiateur, pour de telles pratiques. Des treks chameliers sahariens aux éco-campements maliens, ces nouvelles façons de voyager se veulent plus éthiques et plus respectueuses des milieux naturels comme des populations d’accueil. La République de Djibouti, Etat en marge de l’espace saharien, apparaît comme une destination alter touristique émergente. A partir de cet exemple, c…
Epistemic Modality Markers in European and American Law Journals
2013
Over the last decades the attention of scholars working in the filed of social sciences has been directed towards language variation, and discourse analysis has increasingly evolved as a valuable way of understanding the use of language in a variety of academic, institutional and professional settings (Clyne 1994; Flowerdew & Gotti 2006; Bhatia et al. 2008). According to the sociolinguist approach, genres become ‘dynamically rhetorical structures’ that can be manoeuvred according to the discipline’s norms, values and ideology, both historically and incrementally changing as disciplinary knowledge and genres required and created by discourse communities’ change (Bhatia 2004; Hyland 2004,…
Mūsdienu Ukrainas imigrantu adaptācija Eiropas Savienībā un Kanādā.
2016
Autors, izmantojot starpdisciplināru pieeju, aplūko migrācijas situāciju Eiropas Savienībā un Kanādā, vairāk pētot migrācijas situāciju Latvijā un Ontārio, no migrācijas regulējumu, statistikas, adaptācijas un imigrantu integrācijas perspektīvām. Ņemot vērā to, ka ukraiņu imigrācija ir nozīmīga, tās pazīmes ir atspoguļotas no mūsdienu perspektīvas: dinamika laika gaitā, etnisko organizāciju loma, sociālās vides ietekme. Autors ir veicis kvalitatīvu pētījumu Latvijā un Ontārio, ar mērķi salīdzināt mūsdienu ukraiņu imigrantu adaptācijas procesus. Uzmanība ir vērsta uz to, lai spētu noteikt pievilkšanās-atgrūšanās migrācijas faktorus, problēmas, ar ko saskaras imigranti jaunā sabiedrībā: imigr…
Kìnecʹ koncepcìï partnersʹkogo marketingu? Marketing 3.0 či zaklâttâ realʹnostì?
2016
This article provides various marketing concepts and orientation which were aimed at bringing positive and desired social effects for business activities. Nevertheless, in authors view, the theory does not reflect the reality of business practices. Therefore, a number of companies which are making use of aggressive marketing but in fact ignore the consumer needs were presented. This includes, among other things, the following markets: food, electronic one and even pharmaceutical. It seems that this is caused by monopolization process of global economy.
Aging and Anti-Aging Strategies second edition
2015
Ageing of human skin may result from both the passage of time (intrinsic ageing) and from cumulative exposure to external influences (extrinsic ageing) such as ultraviolet radiation (UVR) which promotes wrinkle formation and loss of tissue elasticity. Whilst both ageing processes are associated with phenotypic changes in cutaneous cells, we summarize, in this chapter, related mechanisms involved, discuss on potentential treatment until now disposable, and suggest preventive measures.
The language learning strategies of students at a University of Applied Sciences and how strategy use correlates with learning success
2017
Kielenoppimisstrategiat ovat keinoja, joita oppijat käyttävät ohjaamaan ja tehostamaan omaa oppimistaan. Oppimisstrategioiden monipuolisen käytön on havaittu vaikuttavan kielenoppimisen onnistumiseen. Oppimisstrategioiden käytössä on kuitenkin tärkeää, että oppijat osaavat soveltaa oikeaa oppimisstrategiaa eri oppimistilanteissa. Tämän takia on tärkeää, että oppijoita ohjataan strategioiden käytössä, jotta he kehittyvät omien strategioidensa arvioijina ja osaavat soveltaa strategioitaan. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, millaisia oppimisstrategioita ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijat käyttävät, onko opiskelijoiden strategioiden käytön ja heidän menestyksensä pakollisella työelämän englanni…
The evolutionary dynamics of adaptive virginity, sex-allocation and altruistic helping in haplodiploid animals
2018
In haplodiploids, females can produce sons from unfertilized eggs without mating. However, virgin reproduction is usually considered to be a result of a failure to mate, rather than an adaptation. Here, we build an analytical model for evolution of virgin reproduction, sex-allocation, and altruistic female helping in haplodiploid taxa. We show that when mating is costly (e.g., when mating increases predation risk), virginity can evolve as an adaptive female reproductive strategy. Furthermore, adaptive virginity results in strongly divergent sex-ratios in mated and virgin queen nests ("split sex ratios"), which promotes the evolution of altruistic helping by daughters in mated queen nests. H…
Performing arts and mediation technology in the period of lockdown
2021
Advancements in digital technologies have become novel ways to enrich communication, expression, and transmission of arts knowledge. Technology is increasingly implemented in the performance space, as a source of inspiration for artists. Especially in this period of lockdown, mediation technology has turned out to be an essential tool for different aspects of social life, as in performing arts. With venues, schools and artistic activities closed, performers, students and spectators have been obliged to keep connecting in remote conditions. This article wants to retrace the aesthetic impact of mediation technology in performing arts during this period of lockdown by focusing on the aspects t…
