Start Spreading the News: A Comparative Experiment on the Effects of Populist Communication on Political Engagement in Sixteen European Countries
2018
Although populist communication has become pervasive throughout Europe, many important questions on its political consequences remain unanswered. First, previous research has neglected the differential effects of populist communication on the Left and Right. Second, internationally comparative studies are missing. Finally, previous research mostly studied attitudinal outcomes, neglecting behavioral effects. To address these key issues, this paper draws on a unique, extensive, and comparative experiment in sixteen European countries (N = 15,412) to test the effects of populist communication on political engagement. The findings show that anti-elitist populism has the strongest mobilizing eff…
La regulación del derecho de alimentos en la Unión Europea
2015
El trabajo aborda una de las cuestiones más relevantes hoy en día en el marco de las relaciones familiares a nivel internacional. En efecto, el constante movimiento transfronterizo de personas implica inevitablemente un aumento de las relaciones familiares mixtas. Ello, a su vez, provoca un incremento de los conflictos de carácter familiar. De hecho, la inmensa mayoría de los casos, las reclamaciones de alimentos a nivel transfronterizo tienen su origen en un procedimiento de divorcio o separación judicial. Si a todo ello le unimos el nuevo marco económico surgido de la crisis económica global que estamos atravesando llegamos a la conclusión que el número de reclamaciones alimenticias a niv…
Joint Drafting of Legal Provisions in Multilingual Systems: an Analysis of the Swiss COVID-19 Regulations from a Legal Linguistic and Translational P…
2020
International audience; Legal language is known for its various technicalities and subtleties that often insulate legal translation from other specialized fields. In addition to the mere linguistic transfer of the text, along with the lexical, syntactical and pragmatic features specifically inherent in a Language for Legal Purpose (cf. Cao 2007), a comparison of two different legal systems becomes imperative in most cases (cf. Sandrini 1999). Even in light of the current pandemic that has forced governments to quickly lay down measures aimed at containing the spread of the virus, fundamental legal principles continue to apply.One might argue that a rapidly spreading virus can affect legisla…
Frame-Semantics meets Multilingual Legal Terminology. Theoretical Principles Based on a German-French Case Study
2021
International audience; Terminology aims primarily at elaborating standardized notions for the various complex concepts within specialized fields, intending to separate clearly defined technical terms from general lexical units that are used in every-day situations, with yet a wide range of vocabulary, that is specialized to some extent but cannot be delimited by terminological standards, emerging in between (ten Hacken 2010, 2015). For legal experts, for instance, the elaboration of precisely determined legal terms contributes to an overall specific understanding of legal concepts regardless of the possible ambiguities the same term may have in a general setting. At the same time, a variet…
Moral Neuroeducation, Ethics of Justice and Pluralism
2019
In order to design a model of moral neuroeducation for pluralistic and democratic societies three core issues need to be addressed in-depth: firstly, the cerebral basis of moral behaviour (neuroethics); secondly, how neuroscientific knowledge can be engaged in the teaching of moral education (moral neuroeducation); and finally, the specific ethical model underpinning this area of education (moral and political philosophy). The last of these three issues is the focus of this chapter, as it is fundamental to the whole project of moral neuroeducation, and it structures the approach to moral neuroeducation proposed in this chapter. Drawing on the conceptual framework of Adela Cortina’s ethics o…
Hybrid sequencing approach applied to human fecal metagenomic clone libraries revealed clones with potential biotechnological applications.
2012
Natural environments represent an incredible source of microbial genetic diversity. Discovery of novel biomolecules involves biotechnological methods that often require the design and implementation of biochemical assays to screen clone libraries. However, when an assay is applied to thousands of clones, one may eventually end up with very few positive clones which, in most of the cases, have to be "domesticated" for downstream characterization and application, and this makes screening both laborious and expensive. The negative clones, which are not considered by the selected assay, may also have biotechnological potential; however, unfortunately they would remain unexplored. Knowledge of t…
Chapter 14: HPV vaccine introduction in industrialized countries.
2006
Introduction of a vaccine requires the achievement of three initial milestones. These are licensure by a national control authority that determines the vaccine is safe and effective, development of recommendations for use by expert advisory bodies on immunization, and obtaining funding for vaccination. Once these milestones have been achieved, a successful vaccination program requires that a number of interlinked programmatic components be brought together in a coordinated fashion. These include vaccine purchase and supply, vaccination service delivery, high coverage rates, surveillance of the vaccination program, immunization finance policies and practices, and political will. Human papill…
All-cis-1,2,3,4,5,6-cyclohexanehexacarboxylate two-dimensional gadolinium(III) complexes: Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure and magnetic properties
2010
Abstract The first gadolinium(III) complexes with the trideprotonated form of the 1,2,3,4,5,6-cyclohexanehexacarboxylic acid (H3clhex3−) of formulae [Gd(H3clhex)(H2O)4]n·3nH2O (1) and [Gd(H3clhex)(H2O)4]n·6nH2O (2) have been prepared through the gel technique and their structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 1 is made up of 63 honey-comb layers which are generated by [Gd(H2O)4]3+ cations and H3clhex3− anions acting as three-fold nodes and three-fold connectors, respectively. The structure of 2 consists of a [44,62] two-dimensional network extended in the ac plane where the H3clhex−3 groups act as four-fold connectors and the [Gd(H2O)4]3+ units as four-fol…
Design and manufacturing feasibility of ITER TBM Frame and Dummy TBMs
2016
Abstract The operation and test of mock-ups of tritium breeding blankets relevant for a future commercial reactor is one of the goals of the ITER machine. To accomplish this goal, mock-ups of breeding blankets, called Test Blanket Modules (TBMs), are installed in three ITER equatorial ports. Each TBM and the associated shield form a TBM-set that is mechanically attached to a steel frame called TBM Frame. A Frame and two TBM-Sets form a TBM Port Plug (TBM PP). The ITER Organization is responsible for the design and manufacture of the TBM Frames and of the Dummy TBMs that could replace the TBM-sets in case they were not available. This paper describes the recent results of the design supporti…
Interaction of Language Policy and Assessment in Finland
2008
This paper reviews developments and future challenges in language policy, planning and assessment in Finland, where several important changes in legislation, curricula and assessment systems have recently taken place. Language proficiency requirement of immigrants and civil servants have been redefined, school curricula have been revised and new language examinations have been developed. The Common European Framework has been particularly influential. The paper also explores the tensions caused by changes, such as uncertainties in implementing new curricula in teaching and assessment, and differences between curricula and national examinations. The gate-keeping function of examinations also…
