Efficacité comparée de l'enseignement public et privé au Cameroun
2010
In this thesis, we treat with the efficiency compared by the state education and by the private education in Cameroon. The current educational system carries the marks of colonial period. The school is crossed by three stages the school before the colonization, the school during the colonization and the school after the colonization. The current educational system is characterized by a strong educational request and an insufficient educational offer. The redoubling and the abandonments are frequent and raised. The educational system is little effective in general. Two educational sub-systems inherited from colonial period work, the one French speaker and the other English speaker. Two secto…
Diversity and composition of the microbiome associated with eggs of the Southern green stinkbug, Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).
2022
Although microbial communities of insects from larval to adult stage have been increasingly investigated in recent years, little is still known about the diversity and composition of egg-associated microbiomes. In this study, we used high-throughput amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR to get a better understanding of the microbiome of insect eggs and how they are established using the Southern green stinkbug Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) as a study object. First, to determine the bacterial community composition, egg masses from two natural populations in Belgium and Italy were examined. Subsequently, microbial community establishment was assessed by studying stinkbug e…
Worker Personality and Its Association with Spatially Structured Division of Labor
2014
Division of labor is a defining characteristic of social insects and fundamental to their ecological success. Many of the numerous tasks essential for the survival of the colony must be performed at a specific location. Consequently, spatial organization is an integral aspect of division of labor. The mechanisms organizing the spatial distribution of workers, separating inside and outside workers without central control, is an essential, but so far neglected aspect of division of labor. In this study, we investigate the behavioral mechanisms governing the spatial distribution of individual workers and its physiological underpinning in the ant Myrmica rubra. By investigating worker personali…
On the obvious positive interspecific relationship between abundance and distribution: a reply to Blackburn and Gaston
2009
Thomas Kuhn described normal science as ‘ … research firmly based upon one or more past scientific achievements … ’, that ‘ … does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none’ ([Kuhn 1996][1]). Kuhn divides scientific enterprise into three faces: normal
Data Analysis as a Tool for Optimizing Learning Management Systems
2009
The advent of the Internet has opened a scope for research in new methods and tools that may facilitate the teaching and learning processes. This has, in turn, led to the development of learning platforms to support teaching and learning activities. The market penetration of these has been such that nowadays most universities provide their academic community with some form of a learning management system (LMS).Although a lot of effort has been put into deploying these platforms, the usage statistics that they generally provide are not generally processed to optimize their use within a specific context or institution (or confronted with quality or innovation indexes to produce useful feedbac…
Novedades taxonómicas y nomenclaturales para la flora valenciana, II
2010
Continuando con la actualización taxonómica y nomenclatural de la flora valenciana, se proponen diez combinaciones nuevas y un nombre nuevo para táxones y nototáxones que crecen en el Mediterráneo occidental. Además, se designa un epitipo para Sideritis × angustifolia Lag., híbrido sobre cuya identidad ha existido gran controversia, y un lectotipo para Globularia linifolia Lam. Del mismo modo, se discute la citación correcta del lugar y fecha de publicación de cuatro táxones más.

Gmina żydowska w Praszce w II Rzeczypospolitej. Przyczynek do dziejów
2020
One from 7 Jewish religious commune in the Wieluń district during the Second Polish Republic was located in Praszka. It gathered about 1,000-1,500 followers of Judaism. The kehilla’s work was managed by the municipality’s management with the help of many employees, dealing with work in, among others, a synagogue, a commune building, a ritual bathhouse and a ritual slaughterhouse and religious schools. The rabbi was gifted with the great authority of the inhabitants of Praszka. At that time, the financial crisis prevailed, but the Jewish commune in Praszka maintained charitable and social activities on a large scale, through the maintenance and financing of many institutions, incl uding Jewi…
Gmina wyznaniowa żydowska w Wieluniu w II Rzeczypospolitej w dokumentacji Archiwum Państwowego w Łodzi
2019
Największa gmina wyznaniowa żydowska w powiecie wieluńskim w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej znajdowała się w Wieluniu. Skupiała ona około 5 tys. wyznawców judaizmu. Pracami kahału kierował zarząd gminy i rada gminy przy pomocy wielu pracowników, zajmujących się utrzymaniem m.in. synagogi, budynku gminy, łaźni i rzeźni rytualnej i szkół wyznaniowych. Wielkim autorytetem mieszkańców Wielunia cieszył się rabin, troszczący się o religijny rozwój społeczności żydowskiej i pomagający mu podrabin. Mimo ówczesnego kryzysu finansowego, gmina żydowska w Wieluniu prowadziła na dużą skalę działalność dobroczynną i społeczną, poprzez utrzymywanie i finansowanie licznych instytucji, w tym szkół wyznaniowych.
Critical alignment in inquiry-based practice in developing mathematics teaching
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Educational Studies in Mathematics. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10649-013-9489-z This paper reports a case study from a mathematics teaching developmental research project. The theoretical foundation for the research comprises communities of inquiry and critical alignment, with which the developmental methodology has a particular synergy. This synergy is the main focus of the paper. The paper elaborates theoretical and methodological antecedents of the project and traces these through a case study of developments in the practices of one upper secondary school team and a group of university didacticians (mat…
Teachers’ perspectives on collaboration with didacticians to create an inquiry community
2009
A research and development project, Learning Communities in Mathematics (LCM)1 was designed to create opportunities for ‘co-learning inquiry’ between mathematics teachers in eight schools and didacticians in a university in Norway (UiA). The focus has been on improving mathematics teaching and learning at school levels from lower primary to upper secondary and on the developmental processes and partnerships involved. A central aim was to create a community of inquiry through which aspects of mathematics teaching and learning could be explored, and through which both teachers and didacticians could learn in practice. Theoretically, ‘Community of Inquiry’ derives from ‘Community of Practice’ …
