Langage autoritaire et résistance dans la littérature allemande consacrée aux Provinces de l'est allemandes

2011

International audience; La perte des Provinces de l'est allemandes en 1945 a été à l'origine d'une abondante littérature exprimant la révolte, le deuil et l'interrogation sur le passé allemand. Cet article analyse quelle place et quelles formes occupe dans cette littérature le discours autoritaire du IIIème Reich qui a fait l'objet d'analyses scientifiques nombreuses. Ceci amène à constater que ce discours apparaît toujours comme un élément pernicieux, venu de l'extérieur des régions considérées et plaqué sur les particularismes locaux qu'il corrompt à la fois par son agressivité et l'uniformisation imposée, et qu'il est finalement responsable de la disparition des Provinces de l'est. C'est…

Analogical reasoning and its development : role of executive functions and the goal of the task

2013

This manuscript develops an issue related to the involvement of goal management capabilities and executive functions in this type of reasoning and its development. The first three experiments examine this issue in two tasks of analogical reasoning, the scene analogy task and the A:B::C:? task, through the study of visual strategies used by adults, and children aged 6-to-7. The results show differences in visual patterns related to goals, and to the inhibition of irrelevant information for the solution of the problems, between the different tasks, and between children and adults. The following two experiments study the visual strategies, always in relation to executive functioning and goal m…

MULTI AXIAL TESTING OF ADHESIVELY BONDEDJOINTS OF FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS

2015

International audience; In order to predict the mechanical behaviorof adhesively bonded joints, it is necessary to develop robust numerical models.This robustness is only reached if an extensive experimental database with tensile, shear and complex combined peel and shear loads can beestablished. The purpose of this study is to present a multi axialdevice for testing adhesively bonded joints, using KS2-type specimens traditionally utilized for spot-weld characterization. The tests were conducted on a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymer(PA6-6) composite adhesively bonded with a flexible polyurethane adhesive. This adhesive/substrate combination allowsshort process times and good per…

The effectiveness of a five-session workshop on the distress of international students in Finland – a pilot study

2023

The mental health of international students has become a concern, as they face high levels of psychological distress. We designed a five-week acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) workshop with two additional individual assessment meetings. The intervention aimed at helping international students attending a Finnish university to reduce their symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety, and enhance skills of psychological flexibility. The post-assessment was conducted seven weeks after the pre-measurement. Using data from 53 participants, an evaluation indicated that statistically and clinically significant reductions in symptoms were observed, and the workshop was well received. Regressi…

S’imprégner de la démarche réflexive pour favoriser la transformation des pratiques pédagogiques dans l’enseignement supérieur

2022

Il existe actuellement une tendance générale de l’enseignement supérieur vers les pratiques réflexives et la professionnalisation, dont le Portfolio d’Apprentissage et d'Évaluation fait partie (Petit et al., 2018). La réforme des IUTs de 2021 a imposé, entre autres, à tous les IUTs de France de s’engager dans une démarche de déploiement de la méthode portfolio. Son pilotage implique l’appropriation de la démarche et la collaboration de différents acteurs et services pour accompagner les étudiants et les enseignants à transformer leurs pratiques respectives (Lalle et Bonnafous, 2019). Sur la base du modèle du praticien réflexif (Schön, 1983; Slepcevic-Zach et Stock, 2018) et en mobilisant l’…

Actor engagement as a base for value co-creation in service ecosystem : case study of future electricity demand-side response service for households

2019

This thesis focuses on exploring the value co-creation in the future electricity demand-side response (DSR) service for households. DSR service is implemented as a cloud service, where high-power home appliances are switched off, if there are consumption overload in the power grid and the flexibility is needed. The service is necessary, especially when the use of electric cars increases. As electricity consumption is expected to increase, it creates challenges for electricity network capacity. Increased production in the near future, as well as moving towards more carbon-neutral production mode, will increase the challenges for the adequacy of electricity. With this service, it is possible …
