Rétro-observation des processus de décrue glaciaire à partir de peintures. Apports de la mono-photogrammétrie
2019
Alpine landscapes are indicators of climatic variations recognized through their geomorphological and glacial dynamics. Inthis field, the old documents (photographs, engravings, paintings…) constitute important data sources, used for the purposesof retro-observations. The classical methods consist, most often, to exploit them in descriptive works then being the subject ofnaturalistic cartographic retranscriptions. Today the contribution of innovative methods of treatment, such as mono-photogrammetry,offer new perspectives. It is thus possible to extract quantitative information from qualitative archives. This approachallows, in addition to a conventional landscape analysis, to project the i…
Identification et analyse du rôle de protéines S‐nitrosylées lors de la modulation de la réponse immunitaire d’Arabidopsis thaliana par l’apo-pyoverd…
2019
Des travaux de l’UMR Agroécologie montrent que la réponse immunitaire des plantes est corrélée à leur nutrition en fer et est modulable par la pyoverdine, un sidérophore produit par la souche bactérienne bénéfique Pseudomonas fluorescens C7R12. Le traitement d’Arabidopsis thaliana exposée à une carence en fer par la pyoverdine dépourvue de fer (apo-pyo) restaure en effet la croissance de la plante aux dépens de son immunité. Nous avons émis l’hypothèse que le monoxyde d’azote (NO), une molécule signalétique ubiquitaire, est un acteur de la modulation de la réponse immunitaire des plantes exposées à l’apo-pyo et à sa souche productrice. Afin d’étayer cette hypothèse, trois axes seront dévelo…
Erradicando la xenofobia y la aporofobia desde la compasión ética como capacidad clave de la neuroeducación moral
2021
Drawing on the contributions of some of the most recent and relevant studies on neuroethics and moral neuroeducation, this paper undertakes an analysis of compassion. In order to focus on the results of this neuroscientific research a reductionist naturalist framework is set aside in order to embrace the broader outlook of a moral neuroeducation that, firstly, refuses to reduce its normative character to the human capacity for evolutionary adaptation; and, secondly, seeks to locate within the brain the neuronal foundations for the development of a capacity for compassion towards those of one’s own community, and also those from outside it. Thereby, this capacity for compassion moves beyond …
Lawrence Kohlberg i el seu llegat
2018
espanolEn esta introduccion al monografico sobre Kohlberg y su obra, se detallan los diferentes proyectos que protagonizo – de investigacion y practica en Psicologia moral– con un amplio equipo de colaboradores, que cristalizo en el famoso «Manual de Medicion del Juicio Moral». Otra iniciativa destacable fueron los encuentros democraticos, donde se votaban los asuntos academicos; asi como la evaluacion exhaustiva de los efectos del programa mencionada, sobre alumnos y docentes, en los talleres de mediciones de entrevistas de juicios morales. Gran impacto causaria por todas partes la teoria de los seis episodios del desarrollo del razonamiento moral, asi como el desarrollo de la empatia, en …
Comparison of Exposure Techniques and Vitality Assessment of Mosses in Active Biomonitoring for Their Suitability in Assessing Heavy Metal Pollution …
2021
The most widespread and used technique is the moss-bag method in active biomonitoring of air pollution using mosses. In the literature, we can find various studies on the standardization of this method, including attempts to standardize treatments and preparation procedures for their universal application. Few works comprehensively focus on other methods or compare other techniques used in active biomonitoring with mosses, especially including measurements of their vital parameters. Our experiment aimed to assess air pollution by selected heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Mn, Fe, and Hg) using three moss species (Pleurozium schreberi, Sphagnum fallax, and Dicranum polysetum) during a 12-week ex…
Composition of mosses, their metabolites and environmental stress impacts
2018
Sūnas ir nozīmīga augu grupa ar plašu izplatību. Sūnu sastāva pētījumi ir kļuvuši aktuāli, ņemot vērā bioloģiski aktīvu savienojumu klātbūtni un augsto izturību pret vides apstākļu mainību. Promocijas darba mērķis ir analizēt sūnu sastāvu, to metabolītus un vides stresa ietekmes uz tiem. Veikta sūnu sekundāro metabolītu ekstrakcijas apstākļu izpēte, kas nodrošina liela skaita vielu identifikāciju. Sūnu lipīdi satur daudzas bioloģiski aktīvas vielas un veikta to aktivitātes izpēte. Sūnu sekundārie metabolīti uzrāda augstu antimikrobiālo aktivitāti un spējas inhibēt vairāku vēža šūnu līniju attīstību un līdz ar to satur perspektīvas vielu grupas izmantošanai biomedicīnā. Vides stresa ietekmes…
Conceptualizing nature-based science tourism: a case study of Seili Island, Finland
2021
Nature-based tourism has been widely addressed, yet research on nature-based science tourism, founded on science, scientific knowledge, and/or engagement in scientific research, is still scarce. Drawing on tourist motivation, nature-based tourism, special interest tourism, and science tourism, a novel theoretical conceptualization of nature-based science tourism was developed. The framework identified three categories of science tourism with intensifying levels of tourists’ interest in scientific knowledge and tourist engagement: tourism based on scientific knowledge, tourism with scientific adventure or volunteering, and scientific research tourism. In the empirical part, the framework was…
Kieltenopetus vuosiluokilla 1–3: Miten oppilaat siihen suhtautuvat ja mitä tuloksia sillä saavutetaan puolen vuoden opiskelun aikana?
2019

 
 
 As of January 2020, all Finnish pupils are to start their foreign language studies in the first grade. This study examined the effects of early language teaching by comparing pupils in grades 1, 2 and 3. The pupils had started studying English in August 2017 and had all had roughly the same number of English lessons by the time of the study in early 2018. The study examined pupils’ attitudes towards English and studying English as well as how pupils use English in their free time. Pupils also self-assessed their English skills and completed vocabulary and text segmentation tasks. The results show that the pupils had an overall positive attitude towards English and langu…
Main features of an ideal learning space : a user-based description
2014
This paper presents a method to define an ideal learning space from a key user perspective. The target group, upper secondary school students in a Finnish city, was addressed through two online surveys. In these we sought to establish the features that the students considered to be most important in a learning space. The aim was to adapt the redevelopment of school premises to the users’ cultural practices. Two survey methods were employed in the surveys. In the first, students described in their own words what makes an ideal learning space. In the second, students assessed a list of 21 features using a three-point scale. They also assessed a list of 19 learning space factors in terms of th…
Involving students in the redesign of learning environments conducive to learning and wellbeing
2014
Increased understanding of the interrelations between overall wellbeing and learning calls for a holistic and multidisciplinary learning environment (LE) design. Considering learners’ perception in the design of LE supportive to learning and wellbeing is expected to positively influence (a) the design quality, (b) participatory organizational culture, and (c) learning. The nature of this process creates contradictions and difficulties, however. Stand-alone co-design efforts may convert into pseudo-consultation without actual effects; neither is it easy to consider various stakeholders’ perceptions in a balanced manner. And if not planned carefully, instead of experiencing learning benefits,…
