Temptation and commitment in the laboratory

2010

Temptation and self-control in intertemporal choice environments are receiving increasing attention in the theoretical economics literature. Nevertheless, there remains a scarcity of empirical evidence from controlled environments informing behavior under repeated temptations. This is unfortunate in light of the fact that in many natural environments, the same temptation must be repeatedly resisted. This paper fills that gap by reporting data from a novel laboratory study of economic decisions under repeat temptations. Subjects are repeatedly offered an option with instantaneous benefit that also entails a substantial reduction to overall earnings. We show that this option is "tempting" in …

Angļu renesanses dzeja kā A. S. Baijatas romāna "Jaunava dārzā" interteksts

2021

Esošais pētījums izmeklē intertekstualitāti un tās tipus A. S. Baijatas romānā “Jaunava Dārzā”. Tas parāda intertekstuālas saiknes Baijatas romānā ar Angļu Renesasnses dzeju un Spensera episku poēmu “The Faerie Queene”. Paraugi tika atlasīti un prezentēti Pielikumos 1, 2 un 3. Pētījuma mērķis ir identificēt un analizēt Angļu Renesanses dzejas atsauces Baijatas romānā. Teorētiskā daļa satur informāciju par Renesanses laikmeta Angliju 16. - 17. gadsimta ietvaros, ka arī 1950. gada Angliju. Teorētiskā daļa apraksta Renesanses dzejas tipoloģiju un vēsturi, ka arī ar to saistītas vēsturiskas personas. Praktiskā daļa satur informāciju par intertekstualitātes piemēriem Baijatas romānā. Pētījums ir…

Las tertulias literarias dialógicas en el aula de 3 años

2017

Presentamos una experiencia de la práctica de tertulias dialógicas en dos aulas de 3 años. Pretendemos potenciar el diálogo en el aula, la interacción entre iguales y con los docentes y la construcción social del conocimiento en educación Infantil. En el trabajo de campo hemos optado por una metodología cualitativa, basada en un estudio de caso. Destacamos como herramientas de investigación el diario, la grabación del desarrollo de las tertulias, con la transcripción correspondiente, y la observación participante. Mostraremos las conversaciones mantenidas durante las tertulias realizadas con alumnos de 3 años. Tras el análisis de los datos recogidos constatamos que las situaciones de diálog…

Poly(naphthalenediimidequaterthiophene):Poly(hexyilthiophene) Heterojunctions. Efficient Polymer-to-Polymer Electron Transfer Interfaces

2013

Organic thin films solar cells and plastic solar cells [1] have attracted the attention of the scientific community especially as regards the performance of new conjugated polymers including their interfaces [2-4]. In this work, poly(naphthalenediimidequaterthiophene) (PNDIT4) and poly(hexyilthiophene) (P3HT) have been employed, for the first time, for engineering planar and bulk heterojunctions by the synergetic use of two techniques: electropolymerization and layer by layer deposition. Electropolymerization has been used for obtaining PNDIT4 thin films on transparent ITO/PET electrodes, starting from the synthesized monomer. Inverse Langmuir-Schaefer technique has been employed for deposi…

The oxidizing agent tertiary butyl hydroperoxide induces disturbances in spindle organization, c-meiosis, and aneuploidy in mouse oocytes

1996

It has been recently proposed that a concomitant generation of oxidative stress of oocytes with increasing maternal age may be a major factor responsible for the age-related increase in aneuploid conceptions. As a preliminary step in the testing of this hypothesis, we need to confirm that oxidative stress in itself can induce errors in chromosome segregation. In order to achieve this goal, germinal vesicle (GV)-stage mouse oocytes from unstimulated ICR and (C57BL x CBA) F1 hybrid female mice were matured in vitro for 9 h for metaphase I (MI) oocytes or 16 h for metaphase II (MII) oocytes in the presence of varying concentrations of the oxidizing agent tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide (tBH). MII…

Evaluating European Union support for innovation in Spanish small and medium enterprises

2009

Finding funding is one of the main problems small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face, which is why the European Union has set up programmes to support SME development. This paper has two objectives: firstly, to describe the different European funding programmes available to Spanish firms; secondly, to present an empirical study on the use Spanish SMEs (and especially, SMEs in the service sector) make of these programmes in order to innovate, together with an analysis of the importance these funding programmes have on SME innovation.

Marchés du travail et disparités régionales en Pologne

2001

This article evaluates empirically the effect o f market introduction on the level o f regional inequalities and on the polarisation o f economic activities in Poland. We note an increase o f the disparities between regions over the relevant period. The re-polarisation process cannot been explained by a spatial re-allocation of labour force but rather results o f the differentiation of sectoral restructuring between regions the regional diversity o f sectoral adaptation. The search for agglomeration economies explains the spatial concentration o f services and o f added value in the regions where the biggest cities are located. A cumulative process o f agglomeration is observed. Therefore, …

Proximités et médiations à travers deux romans francophones : "Les Nuits de Strasbourg" (1997) de Djebar et "Le Village de l’Allemand ou le journal d…

2021

International audience; Cette communication porte sur différentes proximités et médiations à travers deux romans francophones, "Les Nuits de Strasbourg" (1997) d'Assia Djebar et "Le Village de l'Allemand ou le journal des frères Schiller" (2008) de Boualem Sansal. La première partie traite de la posture (Meizoz) ou de l'image de ces auteurs dans le champ littéraire (Bourdieu, Casanova), telle que médiée par ces ouvrages. Ensuite, nous nous intéresserons à la mémoire multidirectionnelle (Rothberg) dans ces romans car l'intertextualité et l'intermédialité médient des proximités mémorielles et interculturelles. Enfin, la lecture sera considérée comme une potentielle médiation du réel.
