Représentations professionnelles des filles et des garçons au collège : les effets d'une pièce de théâtre interactive
2002
Programmes were launched in the French region of Burgundy in order to increase the understanding of the social and cultural obstacles for women in terms of occupational fields, considered a priori as male dominated. As part of this programme, the Compagnie du Sablier performed an interactive theatre play called "Lucie, the technician" ; it was aimed at an audience of lower secondary school pupils. It tells the story of a young girl determined to choose a male dominated occupation, and challenges young people to consider their career choice. The purpose of this study is to analyse the vocational representations of girls and boys, and to look at the pupils' visions of the world of work, in or…
A contested financial frontier: banking and empire building in Eritrea, c.1952–73
2021
AbstractThis article provides an account of the relationship between imperial Ethiopia and Eritrea in the realm of banking governance from the start of the federation to the last years of the imperial regime. It looks in particular at the relationship between the Ethiopian administrations and an Italian bank, Banco di Roma, which had its headquarters in Eritrea from 1948 to 1967 before moving to Addis Ababa. The struggle for control of the economic flows generated by the Italian bank is an index of the changes in centre–periphery linkages between Addis Ababa and the sub-regional centre of Asmara. Archival evidence highlights the multifaced nature of Ethiopian governance and the role perform…
A Stochastic Programming Model for the Optimal Issuance of Government Bonds
2010
Sovereign states issue fixed and floating securities to fund their public debt. The value of such portfolios strongly depends on the fluctuations of the term structure of interest rates. This is a typical example of planning under uncertainty, where decisions has to be drawn on the base of the key stochastic economic factors underneath the model.We propose a multistage stochastic programming model to select portfolios of bonds, where the aim of the decision maker is that of minimizing the cost of the decision process. At the same time, we bound the conditional Value-at-Risk, a measure of risk which accounts for the losses of the tail distribution. We build an efficient frontier to trade-off…
CO2 Prices and Portfolio Management
2008
Since January 2005, the attention on European carbon markets has been increasing and thus the interest in studying the implications of the existence of two new assets in portfolio management. In this article we analyse both the characteristics of the EUAs Phase I and Phase II as a sole investment and the impact of including these two assets, considered separately, in a well-diversified portfolio. In order to control the problems of using historical returns, we have performed this analysis using as expected returns either historical returns or risk-adjusted returns. We find that, although the weights of EUAs are not too important when incorporating the EUAs in an optimal and well-diversified…
FRONTIER RESEARCH IN TORNEDALEN
1970
Publisher Summary This chapter highlights frontier research in Tornedalen. In view of the general alignment of the research carried on by ethnologists, it is a matter of course that a concentration of interest to regions with administrative boundaries of such a marked character as, for example, national frontiers may often give a sharper relief to the problems considered. The interest in questions around such boundaries here leads to inter-Nordic collaboration. This is what has happened in Tornedalen, the frontier zone between Finland and Sweden. The problems around a frontier dividing a coherent settled area make themselves felt in all sectors of human community life, and, they cannot be i…
Caracterización y datación de una unidad carbonática de edad noriense (fm zamoranos) en el trías de la zona subbética
1991
Ana.Marquez@uv.es; leopoldo.marquez@uv.es Dentro del Trias de facies germánica que aflora en la Zona Subbética de la Cordillera Bética, denominado Trias Sudibérico, se estudia una unidad carbonática de edad Noriense que hasta ahora había sido considerada como perteneciente a las facies Muschelkalk y de edad Ladiniense. Esta Unidad, que se define de manera formal en este trabajo como Formación Zamoranos, está constituída por tres miembros diferentes que de abajo a arriba son: Miembro Calizas carniolares (0,25 a 1,75 m de espesor), Miembro Detrítico ferruginoso (1 m de potencia media), Miembro Calizas y Dolomías laminadas (20 a 40 m de potencia). El Miembro Detrítico ferruginoso es el más dis…
Clinical and radiological features of Forestier's disease presenting with dysphagia
2018
Background Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), also known as Forestier's disease, is a rheumatologic condition characterized by ossification of the spinal ligaments and tendons. Large anterior osteophytes are typically present in the lower cervical levels, while upper cervical ossification resulting in dysphagia is very rare. Methods Here, we presented a patient with Forestier's disease involving massive ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament extending from C3 to C4 downward contributing to severe dysphagia. Results A 65-year-old male presented with cervical pain and dysphagia. The computed tomography of the cervical spine demonstrated massive anterior longitudinal …

Le dispositif évaluatif de formation initiale chez les sapeurs-pompiers volontaires : quel impact sur leur professionnalisation ?
2021
International audience; Les sapeurs-pompiers volontaires représentent 79 % des effectifs de sapeurs-pompiers. Dès leur engagement, ils doivent suivre une formation de base, dite « initiale » qui a pour objectif principal de leur permettre de répondre de manière efficiente aux différentes situations qu’ils seront amenés à rencontrer dans le contexte des missions opérationnelles (Métral, Tourmen & Mayen, 2014). Au cours de celle-ci, le formateur permet non seulement à l’apprenant de développer ses connaissances et ses compétences, mais porte également en parallèle un regard évaluatif sur l’apprenant, attendant de ce dernier qu’il en montre l’acquisition (Faulx & Danse, 2016). La notion de com…
