Palerme, ville sans domicile. Droit au logement : entre informalité et arrangements politiques

2014

Le cas du quartier ZEN illustre comment la construction de l’espace démocratique peut reposer sur des procédés nouveaux et coopératifs, avec des acteurs (résidents, communautés, groupes) qui expriment différents « potentiels » politiques, dans un parcours long et difficile, marqué par des échecs et des temps morts, mais non moins fertile et qui mérite d’être poursuivi.

Politiskās pārvaldes tīklu klātbūtne lēmumu pieņemšanas procesā. Gadījuma "Grozījumi likumā "Par tiesu varu"" analīze

2015

Maģistra darba "Politiskās pārvaldes tīklu klātbūtne lēmumu pieņemšanas procesā. Gadījuma "Grozījumi likumā "Par tiesu varu"" analīze" mērķis ir noteikt, vai izvēlētā likumprojekta gadījumā veidojas politiskās pārvaldes tīkls un kā tas darbojas, kā arī noskaidrot tīklā pastāvošās aktieru attiecības un savstarpējo mijiedarbību.

Spatial effects in housing price models : do housing prices capitalize urban development policies in the agglomeration of Dijon (1999) ?

2004

In this article we suppose that the integration of accessibility and neighborhood variables in hedonic housing models doesn't allow to take into account the spatial effects between the housing prices. Using a sample of 1520 transactions of apartments in the urban area of Dijon, we focus on two types of location variables : the distance to the CBD and the distance to several Disadvantaged Districts located in peripheral areas. We detect the presence of a spatial error autocorrelation in the hedonic model indicating that the valuation of the price of an apartment is locally influenced by the prices of the neighboring apartments. Then, we estimate a spatial error model which shows that the loc…

RUANG BERUBAH BERSAMA-SAMA: ANTROPOLOGI DALAM TRANSFORMASI SOSIAL BUDAYA PAPUA

2018

Abstra k The biggest challenge of anthropology, especially in frontier areas (front lines) like in Papua, is to place it in the context of the vortex of the meaning of socio-cultural transformation experienced by humans themselves. Anthropology, thus becoming a "weapon" in the face of the inevitable social and cultural changes. This article reflects the power of ethnography in the long span of the journey of reproducing Papuan cultural knowledge. This study argues that ethnographic reproduction produced with a colonialistic perspective will lack power and language in describing the complexity and transformation of culture in the Land of Papua. The reality of the Papuan people is high mobili…

Tourism, Poverty Reduction and the Political Economy: Egyptian Perspectives on Tourism's Economic Benefits in a Semi-RentierState

2006

Abstract Tourism's potential as a tool for poverty reduction in developing countries is still part of an endless controversy. This paper argues that one of the main problems of the debate is rooted in a missing nexus between micro- and macro-perspectives. The result is a lack of an adequate consideration of local socio-political power structures and their influence on development issues. Macro-perspective paradigms – like dependency or neoclassic theory – tend to argue from a Euro-centric perspective and largely ignore local political conditions. On the other hand, micro-perspectives – like the alternative development paradigm – emphasize local conditions, but tend to underestimate superior…

Eggshell types and their evolutionary correlation with life-history strategies in squamates

2015

The eggshell is an important physiological structure for the embryo. It enables gas exchange, physical protection and is a calcium reserve. Most squamates (lizards, snakes, worm lizards) lay parchment-shelled eggs, whereas only some gekkotan species, a subgroup of lizards, have strongly calcified eggshells. In viviparous (live-bearing) squamates the eggshell is reduced or completely missing (hereafter “shell-less”). Recent studies showed that life-history strategies of gekkotan species differ between species with parchment- and rigid-shelled eggshells. Here we test if the three different eggshell types found in the squamates are also associated with different life-history strategies. We fir…

A bargaining model of Farrell inefficiency

1998

Abstract An enormous number of empirical papers have estimated technical efficiency, the distance of firms inside a frontier, following the model of Farrell (Farrell, 1957. The measurement of productive efficiency. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A 120 (3), 253–290). We propose a theory that explains the distance these empirical papers seek to measure. The theory is based on the idea that workers can bargain low `effort' (high crew sizes etc.) if they and the firm have some monopoly power. We provide simple theoretical expressions for the empirical measures of technical and allocative efficiency and compare them to those in the statistical literature. We also consider the re…

Singuliers généralistes. Sociologie de la médecine générale.

2010

International audience; Chacun de nous connaît un médecin généraliste, en qui il peut trouver un interlocuteur privilégié pour ses soucis de santé. En tant que groupe professionnel pourtant, les généralistes ont longtemps été peu considérés dans notre système de soins et restent méconnus : que sait-on des façons d'être généraliste ? de l'évolution de la profession ? Souvent passionnés par leur métier vécu comme un engagement personnel, les médecins généralistes sont-ils satisfaits de leurs conditions de travail et de leur place dans la société? À partir d'enquêtes récentes, des sociologues expliquent ce que sont et font les généralistes dans leur cabinet, ils analysent les "flous du métier"…
