Études scientifiques et marché du travail : éléments de réflexion sur la crise des formations en sciences

2007

Student disaffection towards sciences, most evident in pure science undergraduates, is causing increasing concern for the future of scientific training in France. If access to employment deteriorates more for science graduates than for graduates in other disciplines, science graduates will have a distinct advantage in terms of earnings and employment status, when the economic situation becomes less favourable. Within sciences, graduates of pure sciences have a more difficult transition from education to employment than those from applied sciences. Yet graduates from both disciplines compete for the same job in the private sector with pure science graduates receiving lower wages. The “crisis…

Le sentiment de discrimination des descendants d'immigrés : reflet d'une orientation contrariée et d'un chômage persistant

2012

National audience; La discrimination est analysée ici en croisant les perceptions des jeunes avec la réalité de leur insertion sur le marché du travail et de leur parcours d'éducation. Une orientation contrariée en fin de troisième a un impact sur les trajectoires ultérieures, comme l'obtention d'un emploi. Certes, le chômage est lié au niveau d'études, mais les descendants d'immigrés originaires du Maghreb ou d'Afrique subsaharienne y sont surexposés, mettant en relief une discrimination à l'embauche, discrimination vivement ressentie par les jeunes eux-mêmes.

Angular Trapping of Anisometric Nano-Objects in a Fluid

2012

We demonstrate the ability to trap, levitate, and orient single anisometric nanoscale objects with high angular precision in a fluid. An electrostatic fluidic trap confines a spherical object at a spatial location defined by the minimum of the electrostatic system free energy. For an anisometric object and a potential well lacking angular symmetry, the system free energy can further strongly depend on the object's orientation in the trap. Engineering the morphology of the trap thus enables precise spatial and angular confinement of a single levitating nano-object, and the process can be massively parallelized. Since the physics of the trap depends strongly on the surface charge of the objec…

The Two Dimensions of Narcissistic Personality and Support for the Radical Right: The Role of Right–Wing Authoritarianism, Social Dominance Orientati…

2020

This paper offers an explanation of the link between grandiose narcissism and support for radical right parties. Drawing on representative data of the GESIS Panel ( N = 2827), focusing on support for the German radical right populist party Alternative for Germany in 2016 and treating grandiose narcissism as a two–dimensional concept, it is shown that the effects of grandiose narcissism are indirect rather than direct. The paper also reveals that it is mainly narcissistic rivalry that accounts for radical right party support, whereas narcissistic admiration has a protecting relationship. Finally, our results indicate that the indirect effects of narcissistic rivalry on radical right party s…

Los derechos de las personas LGBTI : ¿hacia un derecho a la orientación sexual y la identidad de género?

2020

Este trabajo tiene por objeto un estudio de los derechos de las minorías sexuales en el marco del sistema internacional de derechos humanos. Ni la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos, ni los tratados posteriores contemplan un derecho específico que reconozca y asegure una vida digna para el colectivo de personas LGBTI. Este artículo reivindica “un derecho a la orientación sexual y la identidad de género” que proteja la especial situación de estas personas en el mundo. Para ello, se estudia y analiza la labor del Alto Comisionado de Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos y el Consejo de Derechos Humanos de Naciones Unidas y se hace referencia a la doctrina jurisprudencial del Tribun…

Different approaches to marriage downgrading : from an anti-elusive measure to an antidiscriminatory claim

2021

The essay focuses on the different mechanisms of marriage downgrading. Given the principle of ?cross-border continuity? of statuses, limits to this continuity are sometimes admitted and they are placed through downgrading mechanisms. That can occour in the case of same-sex marriages transcription in a Member State which does not allow such marriages, but which does allow samesex registered partnerships. Downgrading mechanism has an anti-elusive function, but it is not without problems in terms of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. A different approach is taken in the case of an opposite-sex couple requesting the downgrading of their marriage, celebrated before the Member S…

The Relationship Between Goal Orientation, Social Comparison Responses, Self-Efficacy, and Performance

2008

The present study examined whether social comparison responses (identification and contrast in social comparison) mediated the relationship between goal orientation (promotion and prevention) and self-efficacy, and whether self-efficacy was subsequently related with a better performance. As expected, the results showed that promotion-oriented individuals – who are focused on achieving success – had higher self-efficacy than prevention-oriented individuals – who are focused on avoiding failure. Only one of the social comparison responses had a mediating role. That is, the tendency to contrast oneself with others who were doing better mediated the relationship between a prevention goal orien…

Competency Orientation in Higher Education

2016

In recent years, higher education, particularly in Germany, has been marked by fundamental structural and programmatic changes after the implementation of the Bologna reform and the orientation towards competencies in the national standards for education, for instance, set forth by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs in Germany. The quality of academic education and its social returns have received increasing attention, and endeavors to develop and implement fair assessments of students’ learning outcomes have revealed diverse challenges. In Germany and internationally, it is becoming increasingly important to define and assess in an objective, reliabl…

Les scolarités de la maternelle au lycée. Etapes et processus dans la production des inégalités sociales

1993

Marie Duru-Bellat, Jean-Pierre Jarousse, Alain Mingat : Die Schullaufbahnen von der Vorschule bis zum Gymnasium. Etappen und Prozesse in der Entstehung der sozialen Ungleichheit. Die Daten der Schuldemographie zeigen wichtige soziale Unterscheidungen beim Zugang zu identifizierten Schullaufbahnebenen wie Abitur oder Hochschule. Zwar ist dièse transversale Perspektive nützlich, sie ist jedoch unzureichend, um festzulegen, nach welchem "Kalender" und durch welche Mechanismen diese Unterscheidungen nach und nach entstehen. Dieser Artikel möchte die verschiedenen Rollen jeder dieser Unterrichtsebenen bewerten und dabei unterscheiden, was auf soziale Erfolgsunterschiede zuruckzufiihren ist, und …
