Chronic exposure to a GSM-like signal (mobile phone) does not stimulate the development of DMBA-induced mammary tumors in rats: results of three cons…
2002
Certain epidemiological and experimental studies raised concerns about the safety of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields because of a possible increased risk of leukemia and lymphoma. In this study, an RF field used in mobile telecommunication was tested using 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary tumors in female Sprague-Dawley rats as a model for human breast cancer. Three experiments were carried out under strictly standardized conditions and were started on the same day of three consecutive years. The field consisted of a GSM-like signal (900 MHz pulsed at 217 Hz, pulse width 577 micros) of relatively low power flux density (100 microW/cm(2) +/- 3 dB) and was appl…
El microcrédito como instrumento de empoderamiento y de lucha contra la pobreza de la mujer: el caso de la mujer senegalesa de Ziguinchor.
2014
El presente trabajo presenta el panorama socioeconómico de la región senegalesa de Ziguinchor y aborda los retos de empoderamiento de las mujeres y la reducción de la pobreza a través de la concesión de microcréditos. Para ello se han realizado entrevistas en profundidad a mujeres de escasos recursos económicos beneficiarias de un programa nacional de microcrédito. El trabajo se apoya también en diversos estudios e investigaciones que tratan la cuestión. La hipótesis de partida es que el microcrédito permite a las mujeres adquirir recursos económicos que les ayuda a sacar a sus familias de la pobreza y favorece su empoderamiento. This paper presents the socioeconomic landscape of the Senega…
Ein optisch aktives Polyamid mit atropisomeren Binaphthyl-Grundbausteinen
1968
Zur Darstellung eines optisch aktiven Polyamids mit atropisomeren Grundbausteinen in der Hauptkette wurde (+)-2.2′-Diamino-binaphthyl-(1.1′) (II) hergestellt. Die Drehwerte in einigen Losungsmitteln sowie optische Rotationsdispersion (ORD), Circulardichroismus (CD) und UV-Spektrum werden angegeben. Durch Grenzflachenpolykondensation von II mit Terephthaloylchlorid wurde ein optisch aktives Polyamid (III) erhalten. Drehwerte, ORD und CD von III werden gemessen und mit denen des als Modellsubstanz dargestellten (+)-2.2′-Dibenzamido-binaphthyls-(1.1′) (IV) verglichen. Beide Substanzen zeigen mehrere COTTON-Effekte, die hinsichtlich ihres Vorzeichens ubereinstimmen. In ihrer Lage sind jedoch di…
CLOSING THE LOOP: STUDY OF INTEGRATED CYCLES WITH NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ENERGY, MINERALS AND FRESH WATER
Rethinking Civil Society in Development: Scales and Situated Hegemonies
2016
Ethnic residential segregation is often explained with the claim that ‘immigrants don’t want to integrate—they prefer to stick together with co-ethnics’. By contrast, mixed neighbourhoods are seen as crucial for achieving social cohesion. In line with spatial assimilation theory there is a normative assumption that people interact with those living nearby. From interviews on neighbourhood qualities and locations valued by Oslo residents of Turkish, Somali and Polish backgrounds, we raise questions about the validity of two assumptions: that most immigrants want to live in the same neighbourhoods as co-ethnics; and that they want to live close to co-ethnics because they do not want to integr…
Les commissions coloniales rattachées au Comité des Travaux historiques et scientifiques
2000
The colonial Commissions connected to the Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques. In the late nineteenth century, the Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques became a bigger and bigger research organization, always closely linked to the successive political governments. With each new French conquest, a commission of parisian scientists and local correspondents was created and attached to it, as in 1864, the scientific commission for Mexico, in 1884, the commission for Tunisia, in 1908, the archeological commission for Indochina. The example studied here is that of the commssion for Tunisia, which coordonated researches in archeology and epigraphy in North Africa, thanks to …
Conversion as Negotiation. Converts as Actors of Civil Society
2020
This article focuses on the religious movement of the Ahmadiyya and its civil society organization, Humanity First, in West-Africa and in Europe. Particular attention is paid to the place of converts within these two institutions. Conversions to an Islamic minority and the actions of this minority are studied through the prism of social commitment. I examine the intersections between religious values, the ideas of solidarity in the societies under scrutiny and, the kaleidoscopic range of Muslim charities. The paper investigates conversion as negotiation in regard to gender, social mobility, and power. Conversion is approached here as a matter of social relations and not personal belief. I a…
Towards a New European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP): What Benefits of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreements (DCFTAs) for Shared Prosperity a…
2016
This article examines the problem of the ENP countries’ integration with the EU market from two perspectives: the macroeconomic situation as an integral component of the overall transformation process and the integration with the EU markets, and the political economy of the regional integration perspectives of these countries. This methodological approach serves as a tool for integrating a number of main goals related to the EU’s soft power that require the development and support of civil society in the neighbouring states. This contribution aims to offer insight in the implementation of the regional arrangements, taking into consideration new political and economic realities in the Eurasi…
The Fall of Rome and the Decay of our Present Civilisation – A Repetitive Process? – The Decay of “Gods”
2014
Abstract Attacked and weakened, especially in the last three centuries, both from inside and outside, Rome and the Western Roman Empire will fall in 476 A.D. Actually, what were the causes? Hit and weakened by the present global economic-financial crises – and not only – our European civilisation faces some of the highest risks. Often, people say it is a real collapse. Are the causes of these falls – of the European-type civilisation – similar? And being familiar with Roman experience, how can we prevent such harmful processes? Further, we try to provide a few answers in this respect.
