Identity dynamics and social partitions : the case of identity "racial" Blacks in France
2011
Our research work investigates - from a psycho-social point of view - the «racial» identity of the black population in France, notably in their relation with the white population, so as to point up the identity dynamics that exist between the various groups. The theoretical framework is related to social grouping and one of its developments, i.e. the concept of social partitioning. Such conception is based on the existence of several types of inter-category relations (partitioning) that allow apprehending the nature of individuals’ identity positioning within the framework of an inter-group relation and make it dynamic through the notion of co-construction. Our methodology is based mainly o…
Proposition d'un dispositif sécurisé de suivi statistique de la diversité dans les entreprises signataires de la Charte de la diversité
2015
It appears to be quite difficult to verify compliance of non-discrimination and diversity promotion priniciplesin the enterprises, in terms of recruitment, career management and job stability. Beyond the methodologicalconcerns, it seems indeed particularly sensitive to give full account of these phenomenum on all aspects ofcareer paths and for each enterprise signatory of the French Charter of Diversity. This paper will outline someengineering items in statistics in order to try to address these issues with statistical matching techniques.It will also put into perspective the evolution of the statistical matching techniques perception in connectionwith the law project for a digital Republic
L'accueil des enfants (d') immigrés dans les écoles françaises : éducation entre culture familiale et culture du pays d'arrivée
2011
Immigrant(s') children are the purveyors of a family tongue and culture which differ from that of the host country and its education system, when in fact, family culture and the mother-tongue play a major role in harmonious child development and in his/her integration into society. School, which should aim at both enabling the child to establish himself/herself as a subject and finding his/her place in society, conveys a different culture, which is regarded as legitimate. What about the tongues and cultures of immigrant children? Until the 1970s, nothing specific was schemed for immigrant school children. They had to merge with the rest. Family reunification policies brought along the takin…
Enhanced habit-based learning and decreased neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus in a murine model of chronic social stress
2009
Abstract Stress can induce preferential engagement of habit learning mediated by the basal ganglia, relative to learning that involves complex spatial associations contributed by the hippocampal formation. We explored in mice the influence that chronic episodes of social stress exert on the selection of cognitive/spatial vs. habit-based learning strategies. Male mice were exposed to repeated episodes of social confrontation and were categorized as dominant, subordinate or undetermined according to quantitative ethologically relevant parameters of aggression. Mice were then trained in a conditional discrimination task in the T-maze in the presence of allocentric cues until five correct choic…
Reduction of red-green discrimination by dopamine D1 receptor antagonists and retinal dopamine depletion
1996
AbstractReduction of wavelength discrimination ability in the 560–640 nm range, but not in the 404–540 nm range, has been demonstrated in goldfish after intravitreal injection of D1-dopamine receptor antagonists. Intravitreal injection of the dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-OH-dopamine severely reduced wavelength discrimination ability in the 540–661 nm range within 3 days. Discrimination ability could be reconstituted by the Dl-agonist SKF 38393. Animals recovered from injection of 6-OH-dopamine within 14–16 days. No change of wavelength discrimination was induced by 6-OH-dopamine in the 461–540 nm range. We conclude that under photopic conditions dopamine modulates retinal mechanisms involved i…
Cue combination in a combined feature contrast detection and figure identification task
2006
AbstractTarget figures defined by feature contrast in spatial frequency, orientation or both cues had to be detected in Gabor random fields and their shape had to be identified in a dual task paradigm. Performance improved with increasing feature contrast and was strongly correlated among both tasks. Subjects performed significantly better with combined cues than with single cues. The improvement due to cue summation was stronger than predicted by the assumption of independent feature specific mechanisms, and increased with the performance level achieved with single cues until it was limited by ceiling effects. Further, cue summation was also strongly correlated among tasks: when there was …
Dyskryminacja ze względu na bezwyznaniowość w pracy. Rozważania na kanwie orzeczeń sądowych zapadłych w sprawie dotyczącej G.J
2021
Kazus G. J. dotyczy dyskryminacji nauczycielki, która dwukrotnie zdjęła ze ściany pokoju nauczycielskiego krzyż. Swoje zachowanie tłumaczyła negatywnymi skojarzeniami z tym symbolem religijnym. Została ukarana dyscyplinarnie przez dyrekcję szkoły, co uznała za dyskryminację jej osoby ze względu na jej bezwyznaniowość. Złożyła do sądu pozew o odszkodowanie z tytułu molestowania w miejscu pracy i uzyskała korzystne dla siebie rozstrzygniecie. Po prawomocnym zakończeniu sprawy wniesiona została skarga nadzwyczajna do Sądu Najwyższego z wnioskiem o uchylenie wyroku całości i orzeczenie przez Sąd Najwyższy co do istoty sprawy. W powyższej sprawie przedmiotem rozstrzygnięcia nie była kwestia eksp…
La maitrise du français écrit par les primo-arrivants : : une analyse des performances productives par frontière stochastique
2014
International audience; Cet article vise à déterminer les facteurs susceptibles d'expliquer le niveau de maîtrise du français écrit par les primo-arrivants en âge de travailler, sachant que peu de recherches ont été réalisées en France à ce sujet. L'originalité de cet article réside dans l'estimation d'une frontière stochastique de production afin d'expliquer les scores en français écrit des primo-arrivants (considérés comme producteurs de leurs propres compétences) et leurs performances productives. Les principaux résultats mettent en avant que la langue maternelle, l'âge au moment de l'immigration, le diplôme de la mère et la vie sociale sont des éléments qui influencent l'efficacité de c…
Electrophysiological evidence for change detection in speech sound patterns by anesthetized rats
2014
Human infants are able to detect changes in grammatical rules in a speech sound stream. Here, we tested whether rats have a comparable ability by using an electrophysiological measure that has been shown to reflect higher order auditory cognition even before it becomes manifested in behavioral level. Urethane-anesthetized rats were presented with a stream of sequences consisting of three pseudowords carried out at a fast pace. Frequently presented “standard” sequences had 16 variants which all had the same structure. They were occasionally replaced by acoustically novel “deviant” sequences of two different types: structurally consistent and inconsistent sequences. Two stimulus conditions we…
