Sociologie des syndicats français

2000

International audience; Quelques enquêtes et sondages permettent de décrire assez précisément la sociologie des syndicats français. On peut les représenter comme une série de cercles concentriques autour d'un noyau de dirigeants et de permanents d'appareil. Alors que le nombre des adhérents a fortement baissé, sauf chez les retraités, celui des élus et mandatés a plutôt augmenté. Les ouvriers qualifiés et les techniciens des grandes entreprises et des administrations publiques dominent. Il s'agit d'un univers assez clos, très masculin, assez âgé et relativement bien doté en capital culturel.

Le financement des partenaires sociaux après la loi Sapin du 5 mars 2014

2017

National audience; La loi Sapin du 5 mars 2014, relative à la formation professionnelle, à l'emploi et à la démocratie sociale n'a pas résolu les problèmes de fond posés par la formation continue des salariés. Elle instaure, à compter de 2015, une taxe sur les salaires visant à financer le "dialogue social", c'est-à-dire les organisations syndicales et patronales. Les quelques données publiées après la première année d'application montrent comment le produit de cette taxe, auquel s'ajoute une subvention de l'Etat, constitue la principale ressource des partenaires sociaux et que l'équilibre interne des organisations syndicales a été modifié au profit des directions centrales.

Allergic sensitization to common pets (cats/dogs) according to different possible modalities of exposure: an Italian Multicenter Study

2018

Abstract Background The query “are there animals at home?” is usually administered for collecting information on anamnesis. This modality to consider exposure to pet allergens constitutes a potential bias in epidemiological studies and in clinical practice. The aim of our study was to evaluate/quantify different modalities of exposure to cat/dog in inducing allergic sensitization. Methods Thirty Italian Allergy units participated in this study. Each centre was required to collect the data of at least 20 consecutive outpatients sensitized to cat/dog allergens. A standardized form reported all demographic data and a particular attention was paid in relieving possible modalities of exposure to…

Distribution and biology of the Blackmouth catshark Galeus melastomus in the Strait of Sicily (Central Mediterranean Sea)

2009

The Blackmouth catshark, Galeus melastomus, Rafinesque, 1810 (Carcharhiniformes; Scyliorhinidae), is a common, although at present discarded, by- catch of the bottom trawl fisheries in the Strait of Sicily. Given its ecological interest, data gathered in experimental bottom trawl surveys were analysed in order to describe its distribution and main biological traits. The Blackmouth catshark was sampled almost exclusively on the upper slope (200-800), showing the highest frequency of occurrence (69-100%), biomass (BI; 10-85 kg*km-2) and density (DI; 54-506 N*km-2) indexes in the deeper (501-800m) grounds. Individual size (total length, TL, mm) were between 70-590 and 90-510 in females and mal…

Tachykinin-, calcitonin gene-related peptide-, and protein gene product 9.5-immunoreactive nerve fibers in alveolar walls of mammals.

1991

The presence and distribution of the presumed pan-neural marker protein gene product 9.5 (PGP)- and peptide-immunoreactive (ir) nerve fibers in alveolar walls of various species was investigated by light microscopic single and double staining immunohistochemistry. PGP-, tachykinin (TK)-, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CRGP)-ir fibers were sparsely distributed in a similar pattern in alveolar walls of all species investigated. No vasoactive intestinal peptide-, peptide histidine isoleucine-, galanin-, and opioid-ir nerve fibers could be detected. PGP-ir fibers outnumbered those staining for TKs and CGRP. There was partial coexistence of PGP and TK as well as of TK and CRGP. PGP-, TK-, …

Color discrimination under mesopic conditions in cats and humans

1995

The ability to discriminate colors under various levels of mesopic illumination was studied in three cats using colored papers as stimuli and with a computer controlled training schedule. Discrimination based on brightness differences was prevented using a new method in which illuminant color was varied. The luminance threshold for color discrimination in cats was found to be 0.5 cd/m2, close to the cone threshold reported by others from ganglion cell recordings. The same experiment was carried out with human subjects and revealed a luminance threshold of 0.00042 cd/m2 for color discrimination.

Effects of Various Therapeutic Management on Raised Intracranial Pressure and on Dynamics Brain Edema in Brain Abscess Model in Cats

1983

In spite of the improved antibiotic treatment of brain abscess, the mortality remains high, between 30% and 40% (2,3). With the help of effective antibiotic treatment it is possible to bring the inflammatory Part of the lesion under control, but not the space-occupying element which is determined by the inflammatory brain edema. Any improvement in the results will therefore have to wait until an effective antiedematous treatment has also been developed. The aim of our previously described investigations on experimental brain abscess in cats (3) was to demonstrate that only the additional treatment with steroids as well as the antibiotics results in an improvement in the final outcome.

Habenular effect on hippocampal excitability is not cholinergically-mediated.

1989

Modifications induced on the amygdaloid paroxysmal activity by entopeduncolar or nigral injection of kainic acid, in the cat.

1983

Entopeduncolar or nigral injection of kainic acid determines an early decrease of the evoked amygdaloid paroxysmal activity and a later increase of the after discharge duration. This biphasic effect is likely due to the structural analogy of the drug with monosodium glutamate, a neuroexcitant amino acid. The data suggest that the basal ganglia exert a tonic control on the amygdaloid activity.
