L'inflation scolaire : Les désillusions de la méritocratie
2006
06001 - Il existe une édition japonaise, parue en décembre 2007, avec préface inédite.; « Les études, plus on fait, mieux on se porte ». Voici ce qu'on pourrait lire dans le Dictionnaire des idées reçues contemporaines à l'entrée « Ecole ». Cette conviction partagée est-elle encore pertinente ? On peut en douter. Pour les individus d'abord, dont le mérite ne se trouve pas nécessairement mieux reconnu, ni l'hérédité sociale mieux conjurée, parce qu'ils seront restés plus longtemps sur les bancs de l'école. Pour la société ensuite, car la distribution des places et des emplois ne se fait pas forcément de manière plus pertinente quand elle s'appuie sur les seuls diplômes délivrés par l'école. …
Adapter localement les prévisions climatiques saisonnières : désagrégation stochastique et interpolation spatiale.
2013
6 pages; International audience; Un panorama est fait des méthodes de descente d’échelles permettant de passer de prévisions climatiques saisonnières de large-échelle à des séries locales journalières. L’exemple des générateurs stochastiques de temps est appliqué à la prévision des récoltes de sorgho au Kenya, dans le cadre du programme ANR PICREVAT. Une méthode d’interpolation spatiale des paramètres des générateurs est testée, pour obtenir des séries journalières de précipitations en tout point du territoire. Les séries générées sont utilisées en entrée du modèle agronomique SARRA-H.
Climatic gradients along the windward slopes of Mount Kenya and their implication for crop risks. Part 2 : crop sensitivity.
2016
16 pages; International audience; Mount Kenya is an equatorial mountain whose climatic setting is fairly simple (two rainy seasons in March–May, the Long Rains, and October–December, the Short Rains) though concealing significant spatial variations related to elevation and aspect (part I, Camberlin et al., 2014). This part II is dedicated to the sensitivity of sorghum yields to climate variability in space and time, with a focus on the intra-seasonal characteristics of the rainy seasons. To that aim we use the crop model SARRA-H calibrated for the region and fed with rainfall, temperature, wind speed, humidity and solar radiation data over the period 1973–2001 at three stations located on t…
Pašaprūpe un tās dinamika pacientiem ar demenci
2019
Bakalaura darba tēma „Pašaprūpe un tās dinamika pacientiem ar demenci”. Pētījuma mērķis, izzināt un novērtēt pašaprūpes spējas un to saglabāšanu pacientiem ar demenci atrodoties stacionārā. Darbā analizēta māszinību teorētiķes D. Oremas pašaprūpes teorija. Pētījumā pielietota metode- kvalitatīvā. Pētījuma instruments - novērošanas protokols, Bartela indekss. Novērošanā 20 pirmreizēji stacionēti pacienti ar demenci X psihoneiroloģiskajā stacionārā Latvijā. Pētījumā gūtas atbildes uz iepriekš izvirzītajiem jautājumiem, ka pacientu atrašanās stacionārā pašaprūpes spējas ietekmē negatīvi. Pacientiem atrodoties stacionārā visvairāk mainās šādas pašaprūpes darbības: pārvietošanās, ēšana, vannošan…
Support for families of patients dying with dementia: A qualitative analysis of bereaved family members' experiences and suggestions
2014
AbstractObjective:To explore and document the needs of family caregivers of patients dying with dementia and to identify how healthcare professionals can adequately support them.Method:We employed a cross-sectional survey containing open-ended questions that were analyzed using qualitative methods.Results:Receiving information about the diagnosis and disease trajectory of dementia is essential for the caregiving families of people dying with the disease. However, at present the communication of information offered by professionals is not experienced as satisfying. Further aspects that require improvement concern issues related to time constraints, as well as practical and emotional support …
Mapping the onset and progression of atrophy in familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration
2005
Background: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) may be inherited as an autosomal dominant disease. Studying patients "at risk" for developing FTLD can provide insights into the earliest onset and evolution of the disease. Method: We carried out approximately annual clinical, MRI, and neuropsychological assessments on an asymptomatic 51 year old "at risk" family member from a family with FTLD associated with ubiquitin-positive and tau-negative inclusion bodies. We used non-linear (fluid) registration of serial MRI to determine areas undergoing significant regional atrophy at different stages of the disease. Results: Over the first 26 months of the study, the patient remained asymptomati…
La rentabilité salariale des parcours d'études non linéaires
2016
International audience; En France, les reprises d'études sont de moins en moins rares. La question de la poursuite d'études comme alternative à l'entrée sur le marché du travail se pose puisqu'elle représente un coût pour les individus. Si certaines études ont tenté d'évaluer l'impact du retour en formation longue sur la situation professionnelle, il serait intéressant de s'interroger sur sa rentabilité en termes de revenus. Nous mettons en évidence la difficulté de mesurer l'écart de salaires entre les parcours linéaires et les reprises d'études. Au premier abord, la reprise d'études semble avoir un impact positif sur les salaires. Cependant, en comparant la valeur des niveaux de diplôme d…
Neurofibrillary tangles and neuropil threads as a cause of dementia in Parkinson’s disease
1997
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the most common age-related degenerative disorders of the human brain. Both diseases involve multiple neuronal systems and are the consequences of cytoskeletal abnormalities. In AD susceptible neurons produce neurofibrillary changes, while in Parkinson’s disease, they develop Lewy bodies. In AD six developmental stages can be distinguished on account of the predictable manner in which the neurofibrillary changes spread across the cerebral cortex. During the course of PD numerous limbic determined parts of the brain undergo specific lesions regulating endocrine and autonomic functions. In general, the extranigral destructions are in t…
Longitudinal 18F-FDG PET and MRI Reveal Evolving Imaging Pathology That Corresponds to Disease Progression in a Patient With ALS-FTD
2019
Single time point positron emission tomography (PET) studies of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD), have demonstrated hypometabolism or hypermetabolism in certain brain regions. To determine whether longitudinal (at baseline and 20.4 months later) PET and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveal evolving brain imaging pathology corresponding to clinical progression in a patient with ALS-FTD, cerebral glucose metabolic rate, cortical thickness (CT) and cortical area (CA) were obtained and symmetric percent change (SPC) for each calculated. The patient had worsening symptoms and signs of bulbar-onset upper motor neuron-predominant ALS as well as l…
Klinische Aspekte der "argyrophilic grain disease"
2000
Argyrophilic grain disease (AGD) is a frequently occurring degenerative illness of the aging human brain. It is accompanied by progressive pathological alterations of the cytsokeleton which are traceable to an abnormal phosphorylation of the microtubule associated tau protein. Histologically, it is possible with the help of suitable staining techniques to identify pathognomonic spindle-shaped cellular inclusions (argyrophilic grains). These cellular inclusions display a typical cortical as well as subcortical distribution pattern. The goal of the present study is the retrospective evaluation of the clinical findings from 53 individuals with neuropathologically demonstrable AGD-related chang…
