Individual participant data systematic reviews with meta-analyses of psychotherapies for borderline personality disorder
2021
IntroductionThe heterogeneity in people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and the range of specialised psychotherapies means that people with certain BPD characteristics might benefit more or less from different types of psychotherapy. Identifying moderating characteristics of individuals is a key to refine and tailor standard treatments so they match the specificities of the individual participant. The objective of this is to improve the quality of care and the individual outcomes. We will do so by performing three systematic reviews with meta-analyses of individual participant data (IPD). The aim of these reviews is to investigate potential predictors and moderating patient chara…
Connecting Disasters and Climate Change to the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus
2022
As climate change increasingly affects the world, much is said about the rising amounts of aid required to support emergency response, long-term development to adapt, and peacebuilding to ensure that conflict does not undermine these efforts. Bringing these ideas together, some advocate for the addition of a separate climate change stream into the humanitarian, development, and peace/peacebuilding nexus (or triple nexus). Based on a critical literature review and synthesis, this article articulates and conceptualizes how climate change perspectives and actions should be integrated into the existing streams of the humanitarian, development, and peace/peacebuilding nexus, rather than being ad…
Taking Stock and Re-Examining the Role of Science Communication
2021
Eight science communication research projects have been funded by the European Commission since 2018. These projects are a response to one of the European Commission's 'Science with and for Society' (SwafS) funding calls ¿ 'SwafS-19: Taking stock and re-examining the role of science communication.' Together these projects have received almost ¿10 million in research funding, and each has been affected to some extent by the COVID-19 global pandemic. This paper provides an overview of the eight projects, how they adapted to the challenges caused by the pandemic, and the subsequent implications for science communication policy and research funding.

The Origins of Environmental Assessment
2016
Looking back through the course of history, it is indeed possible to find many different forms of “environmental assessment” that relate to a clear, unifying philosophy: to consider the impact of such practices before they are implemented. The most important difference that is clearly prevalent in more recent instances is the consideration of the environmental component in the assessment process, which can be straightforwardly be attributed to an increasing awareness within the modern society of the ever-growing scarcity and the cost of natural resources combined with the resulting quality of life for current and future generations. Focusing on the origin of modern ecological assessment, th…

L'invention de la violence scolaire
2005
05089; International audience; L'École est un lieu politique : non seulement chaque société y socialise ses enfants et y construit une forme de citoyenneté, mais des jeux et enjeux de pouvoir traversent l'institution. Les crises sporadiques qui agitent le système scolaire depuis une vingtaine d'années sont bien plus que la traduction d'un désenchantement de l'école ou d'un « malaise enseignant », lycéen ou étudiant. Elles sont à saisir comme symptôme d'une crise de citoyenneté collective, d'une véritable crise du politique dont la violence scolaire est la forme émergente. Au fond, sous la polysémie des termes et des manifestations, c'est la définition même qui pose problème : ce qui est qua…
