Identification of the Weevil immune genes and their expression in the bacteriome tissue
2008
Abstract Background Persistent infections with mutualistic intracellular bacteria (endosymbionts) are well represented in insects and are considered to be a driving force in evolution. However, while pathogenic relationships have been well studied over the last decades very little is known about the recognition of the endosymbionts by the host immune system and the mechanism that limits their infection to the bacteria-bearing host tissue (the bacteriome). Results To study bacteriome immune specificity, we first identified immune-relevant genes of the weevil Sitophilus zeamais by using suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) and then analyzed their full-length coding sequences obtained b…
Les prédicteurs en grande section maternelle de la réussite en lecture en fin de première année de l'école primaire : l'impact du nom des lettres
2009
A number of variables predicting the success or failure in learning to read has been presented in the literature. Investigations, however, aiming to evaluate the impact of these factors in multivariate models are rare, particularly in French, and do not take into account participants' individual and social characteristics. In this perspective, a longitudinal study, comprising 199 students, was realised from kindergarten through first grade. The results show that, among all the variables studied, the naming of consonants and vowels in kindergartens is the best predictor of ackowledging both decoding letters and written comprehension at the end of the first grade. A discussion furthers the im…
How COVID-19 kick-started online learning in medical education-The DigiMed study.
2021
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to far-reaching restrictions of social and professional life, affecting societies all over the world. To contain the virus, medical schools had to restructure their curriculum by switching to online learning. However, only few medical schools had implemented such novel learning concepts. We aimed to evaluate students’ attitudes to online learning to provide a broad scientific basis to guide future development of medical education. Methods Overall, 3286 medical students from 12 different countries participated in this cross-sectional, web-based study investigating various aspects of online learning in medical education. On a 7-…

L'évaluation comme outil de régulation de la recherche-action : le cas d'une démarche pédagogique en lecture-écriture au cycle II
2001
International audience; Cette communication rend compte de l'évaluation d'une recherche-action conduite dans le domaine de l'apprentissage de la lecture-écriture sur un échantillon de classes de CP. Les résultats de cette évaluation sont globalement positifs pour la démarche pédagogique évaluée puisque les élèves des classes expérimentales réalisent des progressions supérieures aux autres ; en outre, l'évaluation a permis de susciter des éléments de réflexion chez les concepteurs du dispositif de recherche-action et se présente alors véritablement comme un régulateur de l'action éducative.
Sustainable lighting design through the analysis of spatial and time non-uniformities in natural lighting with the metric of the information theory
2014
The indoor visual comfort of subjects faced with indoor ambient lighting varies with the position of the subject and is not constant over time. Average performance indexes, such as the mean value of Daylight Factor and Daylight Autonomy, are commonly used to analyse lighting distribution. These indexes, however, don’t properly take into account either the spatial or the time distribution of values affecting the non-uniformity of environmental lighting. Indeed, these are limited to the definition of a mean value or to the assessment of time availability of daylighting. This paper examines spatial and temporal non-uniformities in indoor lighting as possible causes of discomfort for occupants.…
Massive presence of insertion sequences in the genome of SOPE, the primary endosymbiont of the rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae
2008
Bacteria that establish an obligate intracellular relationship with eukaryotic hosts undergo an evolutionary genomic reductive process. Recent studies have shown an increase in the number of mobile elements in the first stage of the adaptive process towards intracellular life, although these elements are absent in ancient endosymbionts. Here, the genome of SOPE, the obligate mutualistic endosymbiont of rice weevils, was used as a model to analyze the initial events that occur after symbiotic integration. During the first phases of the SOPE genome project, four different types of insertion sequence (IS) elements, belonging to well-characterized IS families from γ-proteobacteria, were identif…
Complex Detection in Protein-Protein Interaction Networks: A Compact Overview for Researchers and Practitioners
2012
The availability of large volumes of protein-protein interaction data has allowed the study of biological networks to unveil the complex structure and organization in the cell. It has been recognized by biologists that proteins interacting with each other often participate in the same biological processes, and that protein modules may be often associated with specific biological functions. Thus the detection of protein complexes is an important research problem in systems biology. In this review, recent graph-based approaches to clustering protein interaction networks are described and classified with respect to common peculiarities. The goal is that of providing a useful guide and referenc…

Using Activity Theory in Developing Instructial Tools for Project Management Studies
2014
Competence and skills of the project manager are significant to project success. The skills needed in project managersâ work cannot be learned only by reading the books or a lecture hall; one learns them by practice. Therefore, an important challenge for educational institutions is to develop pedagogical practices that allow students to participate in working life projects and to confront real-life problems. Project-based learning (PBL) offers a model that enables students to practice the skills and competences needed in working life projects by utilizing real-world work assignments in time-limited projects. Using PBL method alone does not necessarily guarantee learning result. In order t…
