A feature of caudate control of focal hippocampal epilepsy: evidence for an anterograde pathway
1991
Previous experimental evidences showed that the caudate nucleus has a modulatory effect on hippocampal epilepsy. The caudate's regulating action might reach the hippocampus either via the septal region or, retrogradely, via the accumbens nucleus. In order to obtain new data about the pathway involved in caudate hippocampal influence the spreading of abnormal activity towards the nucleus accumbens was studied. Furthermore the effects of caudate stimulation in animals with electrolytic lesions of the nucleus accumbens were analyzed. It was observed that abnormal penicillin-induced activity spreaded from the hippocampus to the nucleus accumbens in about 30 minutes. In animals with and without …
Volatility transmission patterns and terrorist attacks
2009
The objective of this study is to analyze volatility transmission between the US and Eurozone stock markets considering the effects of the September 11, March 11 and July 7 financial crises. In order to do this, we use a multivariate GARCH model and take into account the asymmetric volatility phenomenon, the non-synchronous trading problem and the crises themselves. Moreover, a graphical analysis of the Asymmetric Volatility Impulse-Response Functions (AVIRF) is introduced, which takes into consideration the crisis effect. Results suggest that there is bidirectional and asymmetric volatility transmission and show the different impact that terrorist attacks had on both markets. El objetivo d…
L’action syndicale dans l’Union européenne
2018
ISBN : 978-2-908735-33-8; International audience; Ce chapitre interroge l'action syndicale, voire plus largement sociale, dans l'Union européenne. Cela implque de définir, déjà, l'action syndicale et les défis auxquels elle est confrontée actuellement. Puis est évoqué, succinctement, comment les traités européens abordent la question syndicale avant de traiter, plus précisément, des partenaires sociaux au niveau européens, dont les syndicats et, en particulier, de la Confédération européenne des syndicats (CES).
Vers une européanisation du syndicalisme français ?
2013
International audience; Si l'espace syndical demeure encore largement national, la construction européenne, la mondialisation et son cortège de restructurations, la crise mondiale de 2008, puis celle de l'euro, et les réformes institutionnelles de l'Union européenne ne peuvent pas laisser les confédérations syndicales indifférentes. Elles s'efforcent donc d'investir, ou de réinvestir, le syndicalisme européen, de peser sur certaines décisions, de se mobiliser - pour certaines d'entre elles - contre de nouveaux traités (comme à l'occasion du Traité établissant une constitution pour l'Europe) ou sur diverses thématiques sociales (notamment au moyen d'euomanifestations). Ce chapitre aborde ces…

La Confédération européenne des syndicats, les femmes et les relations professionnelles
2014
After mentioning the turning of the ETUC following the rejection of the Treaty for a Constitution for Europe, which it had supported, even though some of its member organisations, notably the French and Dutch, had distanced themselves from it, or even called for it to be opposed - a contextual element -, this chapter examines how the ETUC approaches the place and role of women within it and, more broadly, in European trade unionism, but also in the various policies, particularly social policies, of the European Union in which it intervenes or is consulted. The answer leads to three perspectives concerning :1. The ETUC's policy for dealing with gender inequalities (including the gender mains…
Les femmes dans les syndicats : toujours le plafond de verre
2014
National audience; Depuis vingt ans, la Confédération européenne des syndicats (CES) observe régulièrement comment évolue la place des femmes dans les appareils syndicaux. Or, le « plafond de verre » est toujours bien présent. Cet article fait le point sur cette question au début des années 2010.
La cartellisation des partenaires sociaux français : L’exemple de la réforme du financement syndical
2018
Alongside representatives of French employers, trade unions professionals form a cartel in the same way that some political parties are cartelised. These trade unions fight each other for the conquest of power but they also agree to make it almost impossible to create new unions. They share public and institutional resources and agree to maintain their power, resources and control over a large number of institutions, managed on a joint basis with employers' organisations. In 2014, this cartel obtained the creation of a tax on wages and salaries. The cartel members share the benefit of this tax without having to account for the use of these sums. This tax, and various subsidies, are the main…
Meshless Electrophysiological Modeling of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy—Benchmark Analysis with Finite-Element Methods in Experimental Data
2022
Computational models of cardiac electrophysiology are promising tools for reducing the rates of non-response patients suitable for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by optimizing electrode placement. The majority of computational models in the literature are mesh-based, primarily using the finite element method (FEM). The generation of patient-specific cardiac meshes has traditionally been a tedious task requiring manual intervention and hindering the modeling of a large number of cases. Meshless models can be a valid alternative due to their mesh quality independence. The organization of challenges such as the CRT-EPiggy19, providing unique experimental data as open access, enables b…
Protein diffusion in mammalian cell cytoplasm.
2011
We introduce a new method for mesoscopic modeling of protein diffusion in an entire cell. This method is based on the construction of a three-dimensional digital model cell from confocal microscopy data. The model cell is segmented into the cytoplasm, nucleus, plasma membrane, and nuclear envelope, in which environment protein motion is modeled by fully numerical mesoscopic methods. Finer cellular structures that cannot be resolved with the imaging technique, which significantly affect protein motion, are accounted for in this method by assigning an effective, position-dependent porosity to the cell. This porosity can also be determined by confocal microscopy using the equilibrium distribut…
