La Grammaire de Condillac face au paradoxe de l'origine naturelle du langage
2012
The recent discovery of mirror neurons has rivived the gestural-imitative theory of the origin of language advocated by Condillac in the XVIIIth century. Condillac develops this theory in two stages: in the Essai (1746) he proposes a gestural theory based on the arbitrariness of the sign, while in the Grammaire (1775) he refuses arbitrariness and accepts the theory of analogy and natural imitation proposed by Charles de Brosses (1765). This choice depends on the fact that in Rousseau (1755) and Beauzee (1765) arbitrariness, as a "paradox of the original contract", now plays the role of key argument in favor of the divine origin of language. So, the theory of analogy and natural imitation is…
Real-time 3D movements analysis for a medical device intended for maintaining functional independence in aged adults at home
2016
We propose in this manuscript a realtime3D movement analysis system for inhomefunctionalabilities assessment in aged adults. As a first step, the purpose is to maintain the functionalindependence of this population and to allow an earlier detection of a motor decompensation inorder to facilitate a rehabilitation process. To quantify the equilibrium quality of a subject, webuilt a system using the Kinect sensor in order to analyze a simple clinical test validated in geriatricrehabilitation: the Timed Up and Go (TUG). Three experiments conducted in heterogeneousenvironments (laboratory, day hospital and home) showed good measurement reliability of theidentified parameters. In particular, they…
Chaotic dynamics and partial hyperbolicity
2017
The dynamics of hyperbolic systems is considered well understood from topological point of view as well as from stochastic point of view. S. Smale and R. Abraham gave an example showing that, in general, the hyperbolic systems are not dense among all differentiable systems. In 1970s, M. Brin and Y. Pesin proposed a new notion: partial hyperbolicity to release the notion of hyperbolicity. One aim of this thesis is to understand the dynamics of certain partially hyperbolic systems from stochastic point of view as well as from topological point of view. From stochastic point of view, we prove the following results: — There exists an open and dense subset U of robustly transitive nonhyperbolic …
The Antioxidant Potential of White Wines Relies on the Chemistry of Sulfur-Containing Compounds: An Optimized DPPH Assay
2019
The DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay is an easy and efficient method commonly used to determine the antioxidant capacity of many food matrices and beverages. In contrast with red wines, white wines are poorer in antioxidant polyphenolics, and the more hydrophilic sulfur-containing compounds in them may contribute significantly to their antioxidant capacity. The modification of the classical DPPH method, with a methanol-buffer and the measure of EC20 (quantity of sample needed to decrease the initial DPPH concentration by 20%) has shown that sulfur-containing compounds such as cysteine (0.037 ±
La scolarisation maternelle à deux ans : analyse des effets pédagogiques et sociaux
1992
International audience; Le système éducatif français fait actuellement l'objet de pressions pour que soit étendue la scolarisation maternelle à l'âge de deux ans. Ces pressions sont fondées notamment sur l'argument que le milieu scolaire pourrait être un substitut efficace au milieu familial, en particulier lorsque celui-ci n'appara\ⁱt pas procurer à l'enfant les stimulations suffisantes. Concernant le fonctionnement du système scolaire, les cas ont été nombreux dans lesquels il s'est révélé exister une divergence nette entre les opinions "communes" et les faits objectivement mesurés, pour qu'il appraisse souhaitable de ne pas s'en tenir aux opinions. Sur cette question des effets de la mat…

Efficacité éducative. L'approche économique
2015
National audience; L'efficacité est au cour même de la démarche économique. Celle-ci peut se définir comme la quête d'une situation optimale, puisque sa recherche revient à minimiser 1' écart entre une situation réelle et un optimum théorique correspondant à la meilleure situation possible d'allocation des moyens pour tous les intervenants dans cette sphère économique. Nous pouvons introduire l'efficacité économique comme un double objectif: celui d'obtenir la fourniture du meilleur service éducatif à un coût financier donné et de fournir ce service au plus grand nombre de façon équitable. Autrement dit l'action économique vers l'éducation doit satisfaire le double objectif simultané d'obli…

Athènes et les « Philaïdes » Formes de réciprocité entre les aristocrates et la polis
2009
This article aims at exploring the relationship between Athens and the members of the Miltiades and Cimon family, the so-called Philaids. The history of this lineage significantly marked the development of Athens in the archaic period. In spite of the contradictory traditions regarding these historical figures, a lexical analysis of the sources allows an interpretation of their relationship with the polis in terms of reciprocity. I will argue that this is a special form of reciprocity, generated by the unequal and asymmetric relationship that this family seems to have had with Athens.
