National days between commemoration and celebration: remembering 1947 and 1960 in Madagascar
2013
Today Madagascar officially celebrates two national holidays. 29 March is dedicated to the memory of anticolonial resistance in 1947, the commemoration of the dead and the decoration of surviving combatants. 26 June in contrast is celebrated as Madagascar's return to independence in 1960 with parades, cultural performances, singing and dancing. But consecutive governments have altered state politics of commemoration and non-state actors have influenced the way in which 1947 and 1960 are remembered.This study of national days in Madagascar offers an interpretation of the different ways the two key events of national history have been remembered within the fifty years since Independence.

Existentially closed central extensions of locally finite p-groups
1986
Throughout, p will be a fixed prime, and will denote the class of all locally finite p-groups. For a fixed Abelian p-group A, we letwhere ζ(P) denotes the centre of P. Notice that A is not a class in the usual group-theoretic sense, since it is not closed under isomorphisms.
On saturation and related parameters following Guth's ATD colour-vision model
2001
In this work, we have examined the influence of different parameters both on perceived saturation and saturation discrimination with unrelated colours, on the basis of S. L. Guth's CA90 colour-vision model and its subsequent modifications. Our analysis of perceived saturation covered (1) spectral saturation functions at constant luminance, (2) saturation functions in constant colorimetric purity loci, (3) saturation vs. colorimetric purity functions, (4) saturation vs. luminance functions in the 1–1000 td range, and, finally, (5) the equal saturation loci in the xy color diagram. Regarding saturation discrimination, we focused on (1) saturation thresholds from white and from the locus, (2) …

Parental working time patterns and children's socioemotional wellbeing: Comparing working parents in Finland, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands
2017
Abstract This cross-national study examined the connections between parental working time patterns (i.e., regular day work vs. nonstandard working hours) and children's socio-emotional wellbeing defined in terms of internalizing and externalizing problems and prosocial behavior. We also examined how the total number of hours worked, changes in work schedules, working overtime at short notice, and having an influence over one's work schedules were linked with children's wellbeing. Data were collected by a web survey from Finnish ( n = 358), Dutch ( n = 200) and British ( n = 267) parents with children aged 3 to 12 years. The results showed, that in all three countries parents working nons…
La perception des accords aromatiques : un exemple d'interactions perceptives dans les mélanges odorants
2007
Diplôme : Dr. d'Université; Dans le monde de la parfumerie et de l'aromatique, il existe un terme particulier définissant la formation d'une nouvelle qualité odorante à travers le mélange et la fusion de plusieurs odeurs : l'accord. Ce terme, largement employée parmi ces experts, n'avait jamais donné lieu à des études scientifiques approfondies.L' objectif de cette thèse a été de démontrer la réalité de l'accord en olfaction et de montrer qu'il repose sur des interactions perceptives influençant la qualité de l'odeur. Nous avons en particulier étudié les déterminants physico-chimiques, perceptifs et cognitifs des accords aromatiques. Dans un premier temps, nous avons démontré que la percept…
The Analysis of the Relationship between the Level of the Public Expenditure for Investments and de Degree of Development of the Society in Romania
2013
Abstract Public expenditure for development have a decisive role in Romania in the economic recovery of the country, in a first step, but at the same time taking into account the EU's objectives. Romania during 2000-2010 had the largest public investment expenditures across European countries as a share of GDP, and in 2011 was ranked second after Poland. But while the share of GDP allocated to public investment in Romania is above the average of EU countries, in the economy these expenditures have been seen too little. Looking at Lisbon Index score, which tracks the performance of member countries to achieve the objectives of the current Lisbon strategy, one can notice that Romania is on th…
