Faire cause commune au-delà de la frontière ? Le syndicalisme transjurassien en échec (Chapitre 12)

2015

International audience; Après avoir fait le point sur la notion de frontière en science politique, ce chapitre s’intéresse à la coopération syndicale qui a pu se développer entre le Jura suisse et le Jura français, à travers la mise en place d’un conseil syndical interrégional (CSIR). Mais ce dernier, tout en étant implanté sur des terres marquées par une riche histoire syndicale, a disparu au bout de quelques années. Cet échec traduit les difficultés de faire cause commune sur le plan social et syndical par dessus la frontière franco-suisse et donc la résistance de cette dernière dans un contexte qui – européanisation et globalisation aidant – semblerait pourtant être celui de l’estompemen…

Analysis of the role of communication devices shared on the internet - web 2.0 in the process of emergence of public sphere and democratization of Pa…

2013

In this thesis, the first study of its kind, the role of internet specially that of social networking shared devices on web 2.0 is analyzed in the process of emergence of Public Sphere – the notion introduced by Habermas, and ultimately in the process of democratization of civil society in Pakistan. Lawyers’ Movement (March 2007 – March 2009) of Pakistan is selected to analyze this role as this successful movement for the rule of law in the country is solely responsible for a fundamental democratic change in the democratic culture and socio-political set up of Pakistan by bringing a vibrant and active civil society in the lime light of country’s political and social life.The content in Paki…

Evidence of the origin of specific spontaneous head turns during intertrial intervals.

1997

Direction and the frequency of spontaneous head movements during the ITIs following forward and backward paired trials were compared to an acquisition of a conditioned orienting (alpha) response directed to the side of the tone source. The head movements were analyzed from video recordings using classification of head turns to preferred and to nonpreferred directions. The results showed a significant increase in the alpha responses during the forward paired conditioning to the preferred direction and rapid extinction during the subsequent backward conditioning sessions. Spontaneous head movements during the ITIs increased to the same preferred direction as the conditioned alpha responses. T…

Epidemiology ofSalmonella typhimurium: ribosomal DNA analysis of strains from human and animal sources

1993

SUMMARYSalmonella typhimuriumis the most frequently identified serovar ofSalmonellain Italy. This serovar is characterized by the widespread dissemination among human and non-human sources of phenotypically and genetically well-differentiated clones.In this study 457 strains ofS. typhimuriumisolated in Italy in the years 1982–91 from human and animal sources were submitted to characterization by the rDNA fingerprinting technique. Application of this typing method, after digestion of chromosomal DNA withHincII endonuclease, confirmed the greatest genetic differentiation of clones ofS. typhimurium, allowing reliable identification of 45 rDNA patterns linked into 9 major clusters. rDNA pattern…

Nigral influence on focal epilepsy.

1990

The substantia nigra (SN) has been proposed as a structure involved in epileptiform phenomena. Previous investigations demonstrated that SN is able to elicit hippocampal rhythmic slow activity (RSA) as well as to inhibit hippocampal interictal spikes induced by parenteral administration of penicillin. The present series of experiments was carried out in order to characterize the action of SN on a focal model of hippocampal epilepsy. Experiments were performed on encephale isole cats in which steady epileptiform activity was induced by locally applied penicillin. Electrical stimulation of SN pars reticulata (pr) caused a statistically significant decrease of hippocampal spike frequency and a…

A study of caudate inhibition on an epileptic focus in the cat hippocampus

1988

The mechanisms whereby the caudate nucleus modifies hippocampal spiking activity have been studied. Epileptiform activity was induced in the cat hippocampus by topical application of sodium penicillin in different concentrations. The frequency of induced spikes appeared to be directly correlated to the two doses of epileptogenic agent. The inhibitory effect of 10 Hz caudate stimulation on spike frequency was present even when stimulation lasted for 180 s. Likewise 25 Hz caudate stimulation brought about an inhibition which was maintained by stimulus trains lasting up to 90 s, while the degree of inhibition was reduced by trains of longer duration (120, 150 and 180 s); similar results were a…

Negative occurrence between hippocampal rhythmic slow activity and epileptiform spikes: Influence of the striatum

1986

AbstractThe effects of caudate and septal stimulation on hippocampal activity were studied. Sodium penicillin was intravenously injected in order to induce a steady rate of in-terictal epileptic activity. Penicillin injection caused significant reduction of the rate of occurrence and duration of hippocampal rhythmic slow activity (RSA). Spontaneous RSA as well as RSA-eliciting caudate and septal stimulation induced a marked inhibition on frequency of epileptiform complexes. Lesions of the medial septal nucleus made it impossible to record RSA or to observe any sort of influence on hippocampal epileptiform activity by caudate stimulation. This result suggests that the septum is important for…

L'accès à la justice de la personne vulnérable : le rôle des syndicats

2015

ISBN : 979-10-92684-14-8; National audience; Quels rôles tiennent les syndicats dans l'accompagnement des personnes vulnérables ? S'il importerait, naturellement, de définir au préalable la notion de personne vulnérable, le rôle des syndicats paraît relever de l'évidence, concernant notamment la saisine de juridictions sociales. On pense en l'occurrence aux conseils de prud'hommes, mais aussi aux tribunaux des affaires de sécurité sociale (TASS), aux tribunaux du contentieux de l'incapacité (TCI). Cependant, analyser ou évaluer le rôle ou le soutien des syndicats lors de la saisine des juridictions sociales n’en reste pas moins difficile. En effet, on ne dispose pas d’éléments – documentair…
