Gagner la guerre des idées : Publius et la nature du républicanisme

2010

This text deals with the specificities of Publius rationale under both the time and the electoral constraints of the ratification debates. Far from being concerned with idle intellectual speculation, the authors of the Federalist Papers faced a political context that was so hostile to their views that the imperative for them was to create legitimacy for their proposal. Publius thus adjusted his views so that the new constitution would be constantly highlighted as an “elective” system where the content of “republicanism” was both altered and improved. His innovative ideas have nonetheless a limit in that they take the form of a “political recipe”—meant to answer specific objections. This for…

Degassing of gaseous (elemental and reactive) and particulate mercury from Mount Etna volcano (Southern Italy)

2007

Abstract There is an urgent need to better constrain the global rates of mercury degassing from natural sources, including active volcanoes. Hitherto, estimates of volcanic fluxes have been limited by the poorly determined speciation of Hg in volcanic emissions. Here, we present a systematic characterisation of mercury partitioning between gaseous (Hg(g)) and particulate (Hg(p)) forms in the volcanic plume of Mount Etna, the largest open-vent passively degassing volcano on Earth. We demonstrate that mercury transport is predominantly in the gas phase, with a mean Hg(p)/Hg(g) ratio of ∼0.01 by mass. We also present the first simultaneous measurement of divalent gaseous mercury ( Hg ( g ) II …

Big five and psychological and subjective well-being in Colombian older adults

2019

Abstract The goal of the current study was to investigate the relationships between the Five Factor Model of personality and the dimensions of subjective well-being (positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction), and psychological well-being (self-acceptance, personal growth, environmental mastery, autonomy, positive relations with others, and purpose in life). Participants included 618 Colombian adults aged 60–92 years. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. Regarding the subjective well-being, neuroticism was associated with lower scores on life satisfaction, and positively associated with negative affect, whereas extroversion and conscientiousness were associated …

Human toxocariasis: a report of nine cases

2008

Aim: Human toxocariasis is caused by infection with the larval stage of nematode parasites of dogs and cats, Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati. These helminths are not able to complete their life cycle in undefinitive hosts and so undergo aberrant migrations in the tissues causing a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms. Eosinophilia is often severe and sometimes represents the only sign of infection, except in ocular and neurological forms. Methods: We describe the clinical features of nine children affected by toxocariasis admitted to our Infectious Diseases department from 2004 to 2006. Results: Fever and hepatomegaly were the most common clinical findings. In two cases eosinophilia was not …

Seed-dispersal distributions by trumpeter hornbills in fragmented landscapes.

2010

Frugivorous birds provide important ecosystem services by transporting seeds of fleshy fruited plants. It has been assumed that seed-dispersal kernels generated by these animals are generally leptokurtic, resulting in little dispersal among habitat fragments. However, little is known about the seed-dispersal distribution generated by large frugivorous birds in fragmented landscapes. We investigated movement and seed-dispersal patterns of trumpeter hornbills ( Bycanistes bucinator ) in a fragmented landscape in South Africa. Novel GPS loggers provide high-quality location data without bias against recording long-distance movements. We found a very weakly bimodal seed-dispersal distribution …

Helminth parasites of the wolfCanis lupusfrom Latvia

2009

AbstractThirty-four wolves were collected between 2003 and 2008 from throughout Latvia and examined for helminths. A total of 17 helminth species were recorded: the trematodeAlaria alata(85.3%); the cestodesDiphyllobothrium latum(2.9%),Echinococcus granulosus(2.9%),Echinococcus multilocularis(5.9%),Mesocestoides lineatus(5.9%),Taenia crassiceps(8.8%),Taenia hydatigena(41.2%),Taenia (ovis) krabbei(8.8%),Taenia multiceps(47.1%),Taenia pisiformis(20.6%),Taenia polyacantha(11.8%),Taeniaspp. (8.8%); and the nematodesAncylostoma caninum(2.9%),Crenosoma vulpis(9.1%),Eucoleus aerophilus(36.4%),Pearsonema plica(41.4%),Trichinellaspp. (69.7%),Toxocara canis(5.8%), andUncinaria stenocephala(41.2%).Ala…
