Peer ethnicity and achievement: a meta-analysis into the compositional effect
2010
This study reports a meta-analysis on the effects of ethnic minority share in school on achievement test scores. Best evidence from the studies that have appeared thus far on this topic shows that these compositional effects appear small in general, but may be larger when the ethnic minority group is African Americans in the USA, than when the minority group consists of immigrants. A high share of students from an ethnic minority group seems to affect the achievement from students belonging to the same ethnic group more, than the achievement of students belonging to the ethnic majority or to other ethnic minority groups. Effects of the share of immigrants on test scores of ethnic majority s…
The protection of minority shareholders during delisting in Germany and in the U.K.
2020
The thesis seeks to compare the protection of minority shareholders during delisting in Germany and in the UK. Delisting refers to a publicly traded company leaving the stock market. In order to compare the protection afforded by the relevant legislator the thesis first seeks to give an overview of the interests touched upon by delisting, finding the main risk for minority shareholders is unlike often assumed not a loss of value but the loss of the share’s tradability. The thesis then compares the approach taken towards the problem and the instruments utilized by both legislators. Here the thesis finds that the German law represents a stricter and inflexible solution, while the British law …
Les partis politiques et la représentation proportionnelle.
2015
International audience; Depuis l’avènement de la Cinquième République, la revendication en faveur de la représentation proportionnelle (RP) - pour la désignation des députés - a été récurrente, et même quasi-unanime, de la part des formations d’opposition ou minoritaires : la RP apparaît comme la promesse de disposer de positions institutionnelles et de participer – s’agissant des élections législatives – au jeu parlementaire. Même le candidat du parti dominant, Nicolas Sarkozy, admettait en 2007 « la possibilité d'introduire un peu de proportionnelle au Sénat ou à l'Assemblée nationale sans créer le risque d'une instabilité qui serait désastreuse. » Aujourd’hui encore, la plupart des forma…
‘Zeitgeist’and minority influence—where is the causality: A comment on Clark (1990)
1995
Does the mood of the time (Zeitgeist) facilitate the influence minorities are able to exercise, or is it itself a direct product of minority influence ? It is argued, from a social psychological definition of the minority-majority relation, that the former interpretation fails to explain many of the observed effects and in particular the conversion effect. A model is offered that is consistent with the second interpretation.
Tracce dell’arcaico locativo nell’opera di Luca Matranga
2021
L’opera di Luca Matranga “E mbsuame e Krështerë” (1592), che dal punto di vista cronologico è, secondo monumento in albanese (dopo il “Messale” di Buzuku del 1555) e la prima testimonianza in dialetto tosco, fin dalla sua scoperta agli inizi del secolo scorso ha costituito una preziosa fonte di dati per i linguisti e gli studiosi della storia della lingua albanese. Pervenutaci in ben tre versioni manoscritte e una a stampa, la traduzione di Matranga ha vissuto una storia tanto travagliata quanto affascinante, soprattutto dal punto di vista della critica del testo e del trattamento strettamente filologico. L’opera ha conosciuto, infatti, ben quattro edizioni critiche parziali prima dell’ediz…
La Corte EDU si pronuncia sulla perseguibilità dei reati commessi dalle vittime di tratta
2021
The note to judgment deals with the case of V.C.L. and A.N. v. the United Kingdom (applications nos. 77587/12 and 74603/12), in which the European Court of Human Rights considered for the first time the relationship between Article 4 (prohibition of forced labour) of the European Convention and the prosecution of potential victims of trafficking. In doing so, the Court held unanimously that there had been a violation of Article 4 and of Article 6 (right to a fair trial), since, despite the existence of credible suspicion that V.C.L. and A.N. had been trafficked, neither the police nor the prosecution service had referred them to a competent authority for assessment. For its judgment, the Co…

Unity in Discourse, Diversity in Practice: The One Person One Language Policy in Bilingual Families
2013
When parents with different first languages have a child, and want the child to become bilingual in both languages, many parents adopt the one person – one language (OPOL) strategy. This chapter uses nexus analysis (Scollon R, Scollon SW, Nexus analysis. Discourse and the emerging internet. Routledge, London, 2004) to carry out a discourse analysis of ways in which this strategy is motivated by parents and ways it is enacted in conversations between parents and children, in three Swedish-Finnish bilingual families with 3–4 year old children in Finland. We also look at how the children participate in the negotiation of family language policy. Parents were interviewed about their own language…
Mniejszość Niemiecka w prasie regionalnej w sytuacji konfliktu. Framing i agenda medialna w ramach sporu o „Duże Opole”
2017
Jednym ze wskaźników kondycji państwa demokratycznego jest jego stosunek do mniejszości narodowych. Istotny jest nie tylko wymiar formalny tych relacji, ale także funkcjonowanie sfery publicznej. Kluczowa będzie zatem zdolność do efektywnego negocjowania i deliberacji nad kwestiami ważnymi dla społeczności i budzącymi duże emocje. Naturalną przestrzeń dla takiej debaty stwarzają media, które ukazują przedmiot sporu i stanowiska stron. Będąc również uczestnikiem debaty, media pozycjonują strony i wpływają na postawy społeczne wobec dyskutowanych kwestii. Celem badań, których wyniki są prezentowane w niniejszym artykule była analiza medialnego pozycjonowania mniejszości niemieckiej (MN) w ram…
Linguistic intergroup bias at school : an exploratory study of black and white children in France and their implicit attitude towards another
2014
International audience; " Linguistic intergroup bias " (LIB) (Maass et al., 2000) was investigated in French elementary schools between children of the French majority group (White children of European heritage) and a French minority group (Black children from Sub-Saharan Africa). Participants (N = 360; 7–11-year-old; mean age = 10.36, SD = .85) were shown photographs presenting a target character (ingroup or outgroup) engaging in a positive behavior (e.g., a helping action) or a negative behavior (e.g., an aggressive action). Demonstrations of ingroup favoritism with no outgroup derogation were expected for White children from the majority group. These hypotheses were confirmed. Unexpected…
