Proactive avoidance behaviour and pace-of-life syndrome in Atlantic salmon

2019

Individuals in a fish population differ in key life-history traits such as growth rate and body size. This raises the question of whether such traits cluster along a fast-slow growth continuum according to a pace-of-life syndrome (POLS). Fish species like salmonids may develop a bimodal size distribution, providing an opportunity to study the relationships between individual growth and behavioural responsiveness. Here we test whether proactive characteristics (bold behaviour coupled with low post-stress cortisol production) are related to fast growth and developmental rate in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar . Boldness was tested in a highly controlled two-tank hypoxia test were oxygen levels …

Best performances by men and women open-water swimmers during the ‘English Channel Swim’ from 1900 to 2010

2012

Eichenberger, Evelyn | Knechtle, Beat | Knechtle, Patrizia | Ruest, Christoph Alexander | Rosemann, Thomas | Lepers, Romuald; International audience; ''Little research has examined ultra-endurance swimming performances. The 'English Channel Swim', where swimmers have to cover a distance of 32 km between England and France represents a unique long-distance, open-water, sea-swimming challenge, and each year swimmers from all over the world try to succeed in this challenge. The best times in minutes and the nationality of successful men and women swimmers were analysed from 1900 to 2010. A total of 1,533 swimmers (455 women and 1,078 men) from more than 40 countries have successfully completed…

Arvioitu teos: Alanko, Anja-Liisa; Hietanen, Irmeli; Niiranen, Jukka; Uusi-Hallila, Tuula (toim.): Rohkea koulu: SYK Nervanderinkadulta Isonnevantielle. Helsinki: Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura, 2011. Suomen vanhimman suomenkielisen yhteiskoulun, Helsingin Suomalaisen Yhteiskoulun 125-vuotisjuhlateos sisältää paitsi historiikin koulun tähänastisista vaiheista, myös oppilas- ja opettajamatrikkelin. Kirja johdattaa lukijan useiden eri artikkelien myötä koulun arkeen, jota ovat värittäneet monet pedagogiset kokeilut. Kirjoittajat ovat koulun opettajia ja entisiä oppilaita. Tarkastelun pääpaino sijoittuu viime sotien jälkeisiin vuosikymmeniin. Rohkea koulu kuvaa havainnollisesti sitä, miten S…

Pietro Mengoli and the six-square problem

1994

The aim of this paper is to analyze a little known aspect of Pietro Mengoli's (1625-1686) mathematical activity: the difficulties he faced in trying to solve some problems in Diophantine analysis suggested by J. Ozanam. Mengoli's recently published correspondence reveals how he cherished his prestige as a scholar. At the same time, however, it also shows that his insufficient familiarity with algebraic methods prevented him, as well as other Italian mathematicians of his time, from solving the so-called “French” problems. Quite different was the approach used for the same problems by Leibniz, who, although likewise partially unsuccessful, demonstrated a deeper mathematical insight which led…

Abolition de l’esclavage et réorganisation des colonies : les quinze décrets du 27 avril 1848

2022

International audience; L’esclavage a été aboli définitivement en France en 1848, soit plus d’un demi-siècle après la Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen de 1789, par décrets du Gouvernement provisoire de la IIème République naissante. En effet, le principe de l’abolition immédiate est proclamé dès le 4 mars 1848 par un décret rédigé par Victor Schœlcher rentré en France seulement la veille. Afin de préparer les mesures nécessaires pour en assurer son application, une Commission d’abolition présidée par Schœlcher est instituée. Ses travaux aboutissent à quinze décrets du 27 avril 1848, décrets proclamant l’abolition immédiate de l’esclavage − sans attendre un vote de l’Assemblée…
