Le Droit Compare Contemporain Et L'Actualite De La Theorie Des 'Formes Sans Fond' En Roumanie (Comparative Law and the Actuality of 'The Forms Withou…
2013
Cet ouvrage se propose de mettre en evidence l’actualite de la problematique de l’importation juridique dans le contexte de la convergence juridique europeenne, telle qu’elle est debattue dans le cadre du droit compare contemporain, ainsi que la contribution majeure que la theorie des formes sans fond peut avoir dans le debat roumain et celui europeen concernant les transformations subies par le systeme juridique roumain dans l’Europe contemporaine. Une dimension essentielle de cette contribution se reflete dans l’idee selon laquelle la reussite de la transplantation juridique communautaire, qui est a la base de la convergence juridique europeenne effective, reside non seulement dans la nec…
Halloysite nanotubes sandwiched between chitosan layers: novel bionanocomposites with multilayer structures
2018
This work is a contribution to the design of multilayer biocomposites based on halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and chitosan. Both the polymer and nanotubular inorganic additive have been selected among easily available green materials. An innovative preparation procedure based on the sequential casting of chitosan and HNTs has been proposed in order to obtain multilayer composite biofilms. A physico-chemical investigation (contact angle measurements, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry) has been conducted to characterize the bionanocomposites. As evidenced by scanning electron microscopy, the nanocomposites possess an intermediate halloysite layer between the chitosan ones. The …
487 The Influence of Inhaled Corticotherapy on the Growth and Development in Asthmatic Children
2012
Background Inhaled corticotherapy is the main anti-inflammatory controller type therapy in asthmatic children. Impaired growth as a result of long-term corticotherapy remains a disputed issue of topical interest for both endocrinologists, pneumologists and pediatricians. Objective The study evaluates the influence of long term small dose inhaled corticotherapy on growth and somatic development in asthmatic children. Methods Observational analytical study on 2 samples of subjects. The study group: 100 asthmatic children with small dose inhaled corticotherapy (beclomethasone dipropionate Becotide 200–400 µg/day or fluticasone propionate Flixotide 100–300 µg/day), for 24 months therapy. The co…
Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma Shows a Distinct Pattern of DNA Copy Number Aberrations That Correlates with Tumor Characteristics and Predicts Diseas…
2006
Abstract Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is an indolent B cell malignancy whose diagnosis is based on lymphocyte morphology, immunophenotype and marrow and/or splenic histology. Unlike other lymphomas, there is not a common chromosomal translocation specific for SMZL, and genetic prognostic factors are poorly defined. To investigate the pattern of genomic aberrations in SMZL, we applied comparative genomic hybridization to BAC microarrays (array CGH) to a well characterized series of 75 SMZL specimens. We applied two different 1 Mb-resolution BAC arrays: UCSF HumArray 3.2 and a novel array CGH platform developed at Univ. of Salamanca. These arrays allowed us to detect DNA copy number …
Integrating transaction cost economics and the resource-based view in services and innovation
2009
[EN] This study examines the complementary nature of Williamson's transaction cost theory and that of the resource-based view in the integration or externalisation of activities, with particular reference to services. Assessing comparative costs, idiosyncratic demands and core competences form the criteria for make or buy decisions, although the analysis of services endows idiosyncratic demands with particular relevance when internalisation of services does neither contribute cost advantages nor others related to the core competences of the firm. In addition to these make or buy questions, this study considers the front/back model in cases where the firm manages services internally.
Endosperm cintribution to Medicago truncatula seed development : characterization of a DOF transcription factor expressed in chalazal endosperm
2014
In the current context, which necessitates a reduction in inputs in crop systems and boosting of production of plant proteins to reduce France’s dependency on feed imports,, growing legumes represents an alternative. Grain legumes are major sources of proteins for animal and human nutrition. In the UMR1347 Agroécologie, the objectives of the study group "déterminismes Génétiques et Environnementaux de l’Adaptation des Plantes à des Systèmes de culture Innovants" (GEAPSI) are to promote legume cultivation and adaptation to environmental stresses, via multidisciplinary approaches (genetics, ecophysiology, molecular physiology). This thesis project was carried out in the "Étude des Mécanismes …
Arnold Bennett, Giovanni Verga, David Herbert Lawrence. Transitional realism, translation and dialect
2012
This work investigates the relationship between translation, tran- sition and realism in connection with the development of di- alectal forms, the concept of city and travel images in late-nine- teenth-century literary production in Europe, with particular em- phasis on French, English and Italian realist literature. The process of transiting, which entails a mechanism of transformation resulting in innovation and change, is common in translation, realist literature, travel, and dialect as a linguistic break with stan- dard language. If translation is a system of transferring meaning from one set of language signs into another set of language signs, realism in literature is par excellence t…
Local State-Society Relations in European Countries: Main Findings
2020
The chapter details and discusses the main findings of a quantitative and qualitative comparative analysis of institutionalized networks of local state-society relations in 22 European countries. It provides empirical validation for the conceptual characterization of local state-society relations based on the dimensions of autonomy, coherence and relevance as well as the subsequent typology of networks. Moreover, it discusses and tries to explain differences in local state-society relations showcased by the country chapters of the book. First, it discusses whether countries and national infrastructures for local governance explain these differences. Second, it discusses whether the policy s…
Youth Political Talk in the Changing Media Environment : A Cross-National Typology
2021
While political communication scholarship has long underscored the importance of political talk—casual conversations about news and politics that occur in everyday situations—as a way for citizens to clarify their opinions and as a precursor for political engagement, much of this literature tends to depict political talk as uncomfortable and difficult for citizens. Yet, this focus on the challenging aspects of political talk has been informed predominantly by the US context. To what extent may a different picture emerge when looking across different cultural contexts? And how are these dynamics shaped by the affordances of the multi-platform social media environment? This paper explores th…
Proeses que les barceloneses dones han ostentat en este siti de l’any 1706: una aproximació filològica
2017
Resum: Durant el setge borbonic de Barcelona de l’any 1706, es produi una contraofensiva dels barcelonins per recuperar la fortalesa de Montjuic en la qual les dones de la ciutat tingueren un paper molt destacat. Aquesta participacio va ser lloada en una relacio en vers que va circular a traves un plec solt intitulat Proeses que les barceloneses dones han ostentat en este siti de l’any 1706 . L’obra es coneguda dins l’ambit de la historiografia, pero fins ara no disposavem de cap acostament al text que proporciones al lector una edicio filologicament fiable, actualitzada i comentada del poema complet, de manera que aquest es l’objectiu del present treball. Per assolir-lo, l’article s’estruc…
