Les poisons du XIXe et leur traduction à l’espagnol : Mateu Orfila et son Traité des poisons (1814-1815)
2019
Dans ce travail, on étudie une des œuvres pionnières de référence en toxicologie du XIXe siècle : Traité des poisons, publiée par Mathieu Orfila entre 1814 et1815 à Paris, traduite en espagnol par le Dr. Mariano de Larra y Langelot en 1819, et éditée à Madrid. Larra se vante, dans l'introduction, que sa traduction a été révisée par Orfila lui-même, détail qui n’apparaît pas dans les traductions en allemand, anglais ou italien. Nous présenterons les événements historiques qui ont accompagné cette première traduction, ainsi que les raisons qui ont conduit Mariano de Larra, père du célèbre écrivain romantique Mariano José de Larra, à traduire ce travail après avoir été exilé en France pendant …
Environmental effects on the covariation among pace-of-life traits
2019
Pace‐of‐life syndromes (POLSs) are suites of life‐history, physiological and behavioural traits that arise due to trade‐offs between allocation to current and future reproduction. Traits generally show covariation that can arise from genetic and environmental influences on phenotypes and constrain the independent evolution of traits, resulting in fitness consequences and impacts on population dynamics. The notion that correlations among traits may vary among populations along environmental gradients suggests an important role for the environment in shaping and maintaining POLSs. However, no synthesis has been attempted of the myriad ways in which environmental factors should influence POLSs…
Diversification in evolutionary arenas - assessment and synthesis
2019
Abstract Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a central issue in evolutionary biology and ecology. The concept of adaptive radiation has attracted much interest, but is metaphorical and verbal in nature, making it difficult to quantitatively compare different evolutionary lineages or geographic regions. In addition, the causes of evolutionary stasis are relatively neglected. Here we review the central concepts in the evolutionary diversification literature and bring these together by proposing a general framework for estimating rates of diversification and quantifying their underlying dynamics, which can be applied across clades and regions and across spat…
Associations of Trait Emotional Intelligence with Social Support, Work Engagement, and Creativity in Japanese Eldercare Nurses
2017
Work-related resources can be positive antecedents of employee work engagement (WE) and creativity. Although trait emotional intelligence (EI) and social support may be crucial resources in nursing, their relationships with WE and creativity remain unclear. Hence, with special focus on the role of trait EI, we examined this relationship by applying the job demands-resources (JD-R) model. The participants were 489 eldercare nurses in Japan (female: n = 401; male: n = 88; age = 39.5 ± 11.0 years). The results showed positive associations between EI and the other studied variables. Furthermore, moderated mediation analyses revealed that higher trait EI enhanced the positive association among t…
Ergonomie des documents techniques informatisés : expériences et recommandations sur l'utilisation des organisateurs para-linguistiques
1998
Despite an increasing development, the design of computerized documents is still based on intuitive or esthetics concerns, rather than on experimental evidence. However a large body of literature has investigated the effects of various display factors, both on a perceptual and on a cognitive level. We propose here a review of research and its implication on the design of computerized documents.
Document papier, document numérique
2003
8 pages; International audience; Les documents sur papier, que l'on croyait un temps menacés, semblent bel et bien perdurer à l'ère du « tout numérique ». Ce support d'un autre âge rempli chaque jour des fonctions et répond à de nombreux usages pour lesquels peu d'utilisateurs préféreraient une version numérique. (Par document numérique, on entend les documents conçus et destinés à être utilisés sur écran.) C'est pour comprendre ce phénomène de résistance au « bureau zéro papier » que cet article tente de répertorier les principales différences entre les deux supports selon quatre points de vue : matériel (propriétés et caractéristiques du support), cognitif (représentation de la structure,…

Income and Mental Well-Being : Personality Traits as Moderators
2020
Using data from the participants of the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS) at ages 42 and 50 (N = 326), this study provides empirical evidence of the relation between income and mental well-being and of the possible role of personality traits in modifying this relation. The relationships were analyzed using pooled ordinary least squares (OLS; bi- and multivariate settings) and fixed effects estimations (FE; multivariate settings). Positive bivariate associations were found between gross monthly income and the sum score of mental well-being and its separate dimensions (emotional, psychological, and social well-being and the absence of depression) as wel…
Trait emotional intelligence and its associations with subjective and physiological well-being
2018
The present thesis examined the association between trait emotional intelligence (EI) and well-being (subjective well-being [SWB] and physiological well-being) among Japanese participants (eldercare nurses and undergraduate university students). This research had four primary goals: First, to identify profiles of trait EI and to investigate their association with SWB (Study I); second, to examine the role of trait EI in the process of SWB (Study II); third, to investigate the association of trait EI with psychological state and physiological well-being in a laboratory-based stress induction condition (Study III); and fourth, to investigate the association of trait EI with affect and physiol…
An Updated Guideline for Assessing Discriminant Validity
2022
Discriminant validity was originally presented as a set of empirical criteria that can be assessed from multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrices. Because datasets used by applied researchers rarely lend themselves to MTMM analysis, the need to assess discriminant validity in empirical research has led to the introduction of numerous techniques, some of which have been introduced in an ad hoc manner and without rigorous methodological support. We review various definitions of and techniques for assessing discriminant validity and provide a generalized definition of discriminant validity based on the correlation between two measures after measurement error has been considered. We then review te…
