Climate-growth relationships of Quercus gussonei (Borzì) Brullo in the Mediterranean region: adaptive traits and water use efficiency.
2016
Due to their marginal distribution, peripheral tree populations are highly vulnerable and are more likely to be influenced by extreme climate conditions. This occurrence is known to cause dieback in many species at their Mediterranean margins. Quercus gussonei (Borzì) Brullo is a deciduous oak endemic of Sicily. It is a thermophilous, peripheral form of Quercus cerris L. which is showing an incipient but ongoing decline. A deeper ecophysiological knowledge is urgently needed on this species in order to plan proper conservation actions and reduce the risk of its extinction. In the aim to understand at what extent changes in environmental conditions could be responsible for Q. gussonei declin…
Biais de discrimination et statut social : une étude de terrain sur les relations intergroupes
2006
International audience; This study concerns discrimination bias in relations between work groups. As new developments in categorisation theory have shown, several factors modulate the effects of inter-group categorisation. Among these, status is viewed as introducing conflict between groups. We studied the impact of this factor in a work situation where status was not linked to power, choosing a firm in which relations between groups were conflict provoking. Three work groups within the same mobile phone firm were selected on the basis of their status : the ''Hard'' group, considered as high status in relation to the low status ''Administration'' group, and the ''Production'' group with an …
The children of immigrants in France: The emergence of a second generaton with the collaboration of Esin Gezer Special Series on Children in Immigran…
2009
International audience; Since the mid - 1970s, immigration for family reunification has been more important than labour fo rce immigration. Most residence permits are granted because of family relationships. The immigrant population has been ageing. More than half the Italian immigrants are over 65. While second - generation Italians and Spaniards represent nearly half all immig rants 18 and over, they have been largely overtaken in the 0 – 17 age group by second - generation Algerians, Moroccans, Portuguese and sub - Saharan Africans. Of the last group, 21 per cent are under 25 years of age. Immigrants who arrived in France less than 1 0 years ago are more highly qualified than previous im…
Development of Computerized Adaptive Testing for Emotion Regulation
2020
Emotion regulation (ER) plays a vital role in individuals’ well-being and successful functioning. In this study, we attempted to develop a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to efficiently evaluate ER, namely the CAT-ER. The initial CAT-ER item bank comprised 154 items from six commonly used ER scales, which were completed by 887 participants recruited in China. We conducted unidimensionality testing, item response theory (IRT) model comparison and selection, and IRT item analysis including local independence, item fit, differential item functioning, and item discrimination. Sixty-three items with good psychometric properties were retained in the final CAT-ER. Then, two CAT simulation stud…
Bicultural couples: from family to community
2012
The paper examines the dynamics of bicultural couples in which one partner is autochthonous and the other is of foreign nationality. Two levels of analysis were considered: a macro level studying the identity of place in reference to the general social context and the residential neighbourhood, in particular; the second level refers to the dynamics of the couple and examines the strategies for managing differences between partners and the educational styles adopted in the presence of children. According to the basic assumptions of qualitative research, 22 mixed couples living in Sicily were interviewed. To analyse the contents which emerged from interviews the Atlas.ti software was used. Th…
Las formas de lo arbitrario: los altos y bajos de Towards a Theory of Arbitrary Law-making in Migration Policy de Patricia Mindus
2021
El presente artículo se centra concretamente en dos cuestiones. En primer lugar, se presenta la iluminadora reciente obra de Patricia Mindus en la que se realiza una distinción conceptual entre las concepciones de arbitrariedad en diferentes ámbitos semánticos, particularmente en la filosofía y el derecho, así como la exposición de una tipología donde se distinguen los diferentes usos en el derecho. En segundo lugar, se despliega una crítica a diferentes aspectos de la tipología de Mindus apoyada por una argumentación sobre los que considero son usos incorrectos señalados por la autora. This article has two aims. First, it presents the illuminating recent work of Patricia Mindus on arbitrar…

La discrimination numérique dans l’organisation
2010
International audience; A partir des perceptions des salariés, nous examinons dans cette communication, les diverses expressions de tensions liées aux « fractures numériques » (encore dénommée « digital divide » dans sa version anglo-saxonne) en exploitant le cas d’une grande organisation publique française. Est ainsi étudiée une population spécifique de salariés composant ici la catégorie des « empêchés-exclus » : ils sont non-utilisateurs ou utilisateurs occasionnels de l’intranet, et ne possèdent pas pour la grande majorité d’entre eux de postes informatiques attitrés. Dans cette entreprise, la faiblesse d’infrastructure de connexion à l’intranet peut être logiquement une première explic…
