Le plurilinguisme au sein d'AEGEE
2009
4 pages à partir de la présentation orale, lors des "Premières assises européennes du plurilinguisme" en novembre 2005; Ce chapitre décrit et analyse les pratiques langagières observées (langues parlées) au sein de l'association étudiante AEGEE. Il examine la question du multilinguisme au sein de l'association étudiante AEGEE, et constate une tension entre trois occurrences complémentaires : le recours pragmatique à une langue véhiculaire, l'idéal d'une communauté polyglotte, et un plurilinguisme spontané dans certaines situations.
Le fonctionnement d'un espace utopique européen
2008
12 pages; Ce chapitre présente la notion d'« espace utopique », définie à partir de la réflexion de Paul Ricœur. En examinant la manière dont l'association étudiante AEGEE se construit en tant qu'espace utopique, ainsi que les conséquences pour son fonctionnement, le chapitre tente d'apporter un nouvel éclairage aux travaux, menés par Éric Dacheux, sur les « associations européennes de citoyenneté ».
Działalność Związku Polskiej Młodzieży Ewangelickiej Województwa Śląskiego w latach 1927–1939
2022
Problematyce aktywizacji i wychowania młodzieży ewangelickiej w okresie międzywojennym poświęcano wiele uwagi, ponieważ stanowiła ona o przyszłości Kościoła, społeczeństwa i odrodzonego narodu. Celem artykułu jest próba uszczegółowienia – z perspektywy pedagogicznej – głównych obszarów działalności stowarzyszenia „Związku Polskiej Młodzieży Ewangelickiej Województwa Śląskiego”. Scharakteryzowano uwarunkowania powstania i rozwoju związku, uwzględniając zakres jego oddziaływania patriotyczno-religijnego, kulturalno-oświatowego i społecznego, przygotowującego młodzież do pełnienia ważnych obowiązków religijnych, społeczno-oświatowych i narodowych w swym otoczeniu. Omówiono również założenia ew…
Positive selection at codon 38 of the human KCNE1 (= minK) gene and sporadic absence of 38Ser-coding mRNAs in Gly38Ser heterozygotes
2009
Abstract Background KCNE1 represents the regulatory beta-subunit of the slowly activating delayed rectifier potassium channel (IKs). Variants of KCNE1 have repeatedly been linked to the long-QT syndrome (LQTS), a disorder which predisposes to deafness, ventricular tachyarrhythmia, syncope, and sudden cardiac death. Results We here analyze the evolution of the common Gly38Ser variant (rs1805127), using genomic DNAs, complementary DNAs, and HEK293-expressed variants of altogether 19 mammalian species. The between species comparison reveals that the human-specific Gly38Ser polymorphism evolved under strong positive Darwinian selection, probably in adaptation to specific challenges in the fine-…
Transnational Political Activities of the Swedish Finn Youth Organization
2017
This article looks at the Swedish Finn Youth Organization’s transnational political activities, and how they have developed. In the beginning, the youth organization modelled itself after its mother organization and joined the Finnish Expatriate Parliament (FEP), which made its participation in transnational practices easy. The case study of the Swedish Finn Youth Organization in Stockholm, Sweden, demonstrates that if the younger generation is given an opportunity to establish and govern their own associations, new forms of organization can be expected. The younger generation has distinguished itself from the older generation’s associations by cooperating with other minorities and taking m…
A Latent State-Trait Analysis of Implicit and Explicit Personality Measures
2005
Abstract. Explicit personality measures assess introspectively accessible self-descriptions. In contrast, implicit personality measures assess introspectively inaccessible processes that operate outside awareness. However, for both kinds of trait measures, the effect of the situation in which the assessment takes place should be as small as possible. The present study aims at quantifying possible systematic occasion-specific effects on implicit measures (Implicit Association Test) and explicit measures (self-report ratings) of extraversion and anxiety by means of a latent state-trait analysis. This analysis revealed that - as desired for personality assessment - all four measures capture m…
Alexithymia and the implicit self-concept of extraversion in women
2016
Abstract Findings from studies using self-reports suggest a negative association between the personality traits of alexithymia and extraversion. Self-report measures are assumed to assess aspects of the explicit self-concept of personality. Indirect measures, such as the Implicit Association Test (IAT), were developed to tap into the implicit self-concept of personality. The present study examined for the first time the relationship between self-reported alexithymia and the implicit self-concept of extraversion. The 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale and an Implicit Association Test (IAT) assessing extraversion were administered to 86 healthy women along with the NEO Five-factor Inventory (N…
Differential effects of faces and words in cognitive control in older adults with and without major depressive disorder: An emotional Stroop task stu…
2021
Aging and major depressive disorders have been associated with impaired cognitive control. These deficits are also influenced by the affective valence and by the type of stimulus processed. Using an emotional Stroop task, the current study aims to examine cognitive control deficits and their association with emotion regulation in depression and the influence of the type of stimulus (words and faces) in this association. A total of 26 older patients with a major depressive disorder (MDD) (19 women; age range: 65-84 years) and 26 older healthy controls (18 women; age range: 65-80 years) participated in the study. The results showed that MDD individuals presented greater Stroop effects than th…
Corporate governance and company performance across Sub-Saharan African countries
2013
Accepted version of an article from Journal of Economics and Business This paper examines the extent to which publicly listed companies across Sub-Saharan African countries have adopted “good corporate governance” practices. We investigate the association of these practices with companies’ accounting performance and market valuation. The findings indicate that companies across Sub-Saharan Africa have only partly implemented good corporate governance practices. We find a positive association between our constructed index of good corporate governance practices and accounting performance. However, we find a negative association between the corporate governance index and the market valuation. W…
The Impact of Corporate Governance on Internet Financial Reporting in Concentrated Ownership Companies
2013
In the context of agency theory this study investigates the effect of corporate governance (CG) on Internet Fianncial Reporting disclosure (IFR) in concentrated ownership envitonment, such as Italy. We hypothesize that IFR may be explain in term of increasing trasparency in order to defen minority shareholder interest, so we predict, and find, a positive association between the extent of a firm's IFR and its CG and a negative assocaition between IFR and ownership structure. Abstract. This study investigates, upon agency theory, the effect of corporate governance (CG) on Internet Financial Reporting disclosure (IFR) in an ownership concentrated environment, such as Ita-ly. We hypothesize tha…
