Reflecting back, or What can the French tell the English about humour?
2011
Full text available online: http://openjournals.library.usyd.edu.au/index.php/SSE/article/view/5321; International audience; This paper explores the conceptual and historical differences between Francophone and Anglophone understandings of humour. While successive attempts by French scholars to classify and define the imported concept of humour offer a basis for a 'reciprocal definition' of the French scholarly mind, this essay aims in a different direction, seeking to show how the more specific French understanding of humour offers a useful foil for thinking about the broader English concept, and particularly how the reflexive dimension associated with 'humour' has particular applications …

Prédiction de cycle et stratégie de gestion énergétique basée sur une méthode d’optimisation globale
2017
International audience; La nécessité de prédire le cycle de conduite d’un automobiliste afin d’améliorer sa gestion énergétique et ainsi réduire la consommation de carburant a été démontré (Debert, Quigley). Dès lors, il serait aisé d’appliquer une méthode d’optimisation globale, telle que la Programmation Dynamique (DP en anglais), pour obtenir la stratégie optimale. Cette méthode est déjà utilisée dans de nombreuses applications (Sciarretta), mais au quotidien nombreux sont les facteurs environnants qui peuvent perturber les conditions de circulation (météo, travaux, accidents....) et impacter le cycle de conduite. Il est donc nécessaire d’élaborer une stratégie adaptative en temps réel. …

Experimental and theoretical studies on electropolymerization of polar amino acids on platinum electrode
2017
International audience; The anodic oxidation of polar amino acids (L-serine, L-threonine, L-asparagine, and L-glutamine) in aqueous electrolyte on smooth platinum electrode was carried out by cyclic voltammetry coupled to electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). pH (zwitterion, acidic and alkaline) effects on their electrochemical behavior were examined. The maximum current values are measured for zwitterion species. In addition, the current increases with increasing of concentration and scan rate, and decreases with increasing pH. The resulting passivation was studied by spectroscopic analysis such as attenuated total reflection FT infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoel…
Time-dependent screening explains the ultrafast excitonic signal rise in 2D semiconductors
2020
We calculate the time evolution of the transient reflection signal in an MoS$_2$ monolayer on a SiO$_2$/Si substrate using first-principles out-of-equilibrium real-time methods. Our simulations provide a simple and intuitive physical picture for the delayed, yet ultrafast, evolution of the signal whose rise time depends on the excess energy of the pump laser: at laser energies above the A- and B-exciton, the pump pulse excites electrons and holes far away from the K valleys in the first Brillouin zone. Electron-phonon and hole-phonon scattering lead to a gradual relaxation of the carriers towards small $\textit{Active Excitonic Regions}$ around K, enhancing the dielectric screening. The acc…
Competence as a Career Opportunity's Guarantor
2015
<p><em>The aim of the research is to investigate the essence of the notion ”competence” and the differences in the usage of the </em><em>career's terminology in semantic, methodological and pragmatic areas in academic theories of the second part of the 20 century; to work out evaluation criteria by comparing the succession of the </em><em>notions capacity. The research is based on the Latvian and international sources of scientific literature – books, magazines, sources in digital form, and etc. A </em><em>personality was </em><em>investigated holistically </em><em>( Džarviss (Jarvis, 2010); Devis (Dove, 1976); Kross (C…
Sexualidad y salud sexual en la construcción de las identidades de género y la orientación del deseo sexual en adolescentes
2015
Esta tesis se inscribe en la reflexión sobre las relaciones de la dimensión sexual humana con el desarrollo de la salud sexual, entendiendo esta como un proceso en el que influye lo biológico, se enraiza en lo psíquico y se matiza en lo social. De manera más específica se pretende conocer qué dimensiones facilitan o ponen en riesgo la salud sexual de las personas adolescentes, si estos factores afectan de forma diferente a chicos y chicas autoidentificados como heterosexuales y a personas con identidades situadas al margen del rígido modelo dimórfico, bien debido a una orientación que se aparta de la heterosexualidad hegemónica o una identidad de género que no se corresponde con el sexo asi…
