Crónica de la jurisprudencia del Comité Europeo de Derechos Sociales - 2020

2021

La presente crónica aborda un año crucial (2020) en el que la actividad del Comité Europeo de Derechos Sociales se ha enfrentado a la grave crisis provocada por la pandemia de la Covid-19. En este sentido, la jurisprudencia del Comité sobre el sistema de informes se ha centrado en un grupo temático particularmente afectado por dicha crisis (¿Empleo, formación e igualdad de oportunidades¿). Por otro lado, la jurisprudencia del Comité sobre el procedimiento de reclamaciones colectivas se ha visto especialmente reforzada, con ocasión de la resolución de quince importantes reclamaciones, por los nuevos perfiles en materia de lucha contra la brecha salarial de género y la representación de las m…

IL RUOLO DEL PATRIMONIO NEL PROGETTO URBANO MARSIGLIA E TUNISI, CITTÁ DEL MEDITERRANEO

La ricerca si occupa del rapporto tra le nuove modalità di trasformazione della città mediterranea e le nuove strategie di rigenerazione e valorizzazione del patrimonio materiale e immateriale. Comprendere qual è il ruolo del patrimonio nel processo di trasformazione e crescita della città mediterranea, attraverso la pratica del progetto urbano, è la questione principale della tesi, che si inserisce nel campo delle ricerche sulle modalità di trasformazione della città contemporanea. La ricerca si interroga, inoltre, su quale sia il rapporto che oggi lega il patrimonio e la sviluppo sostenibile, ambiti non più antitetici ma complementari, in una costruzione reciproca di simbologie e differen…

Shadows under the North Star- The inequality developing in Finnish school education

2018

In Finland, the National Core Curriculum for Basic Education is supposed to ensure equal opportunity for enrollment to upper secondary education by defining the learning objectives for each school subject at the end of basic education. The first nine years of education in Finland are described locally as ‘basic education’. Having equal learning opportunity as the leading ideal of educational equity implies that no statistically significant differences should prevail between groups, such as genders or regions. This study sets out to map the fulfilment of equality via two research questions: How do learning outcomes at the end of basic education vary across certain background variables in thr…

Early Brain Sensitivity to Word Frequency and Lexicality During Reading Aloud and Implicit Reading

2019

The present study investigated the influence of lexical word properties on the early stages of visual word processing (<250 ms) and how the dynamics of lexical access interact with task-driven top-down processes. We compared the brain's electrical response (event-related potentials, ERPs) of 39 proficient adult readers for the effects of word frequency and word lexicality during an explicit reading task versus a visual immediate-repetition detection task where no linguistic intention is required. In general, we observed that left-lateralized processes linked to perceptual expertise for reading are task independent. Moreover, there was no hint of a word frequency effect in early ERPs, while …

The manner in which populations of inhibitory (INH) and excitatory (EXC) neocortical neurons collectively encode stimulus-related information is a fundamental, yet still unresolved question. Here we address this question by simultaneously recording with large-scale multi-electrode arrays (of up to 128 channels) the activity of cell ensembles (of up to 74 neurons) distributed along all layers of 3–4 neighboring cortical columns in the anesthetized adult rat somatosensory barrel cortex in vivo. Using two different whisker stimulus modalities (location and frequency) we show that individual INH neurons – classified as such according to their distinct extracellular spike waveforms – discriminat…

Rising Educational Attainment and Opportunity Equalization: Evidence from France

2020

Educational policies are widely recognized as the means par excellence to equalize opportunities among children with different social and family backgrounds and to promote intergenerational mobility. In this chapter, we focus on the French case and we apply the opportunity equalization criterion proposed by Andreoli, Havnes, and Lefranc (2019) for evaluating the effect of rising compulsory schooling requirements in secondary education. Our results show that such education expansion has a limited redistributive effect on students’ earnings distribution. Nonetheless, we provide evidence of opportunity equalization among groups of students defined by family background circumstances.

School Equity as a Matter of Justice

2005

International audience; Ce texte présente et confronte les conceptions de la justice en matière d'éducation qu'il semble possible de repérer dans diverses théories économiques ou de philosophie politique, en les ordonnant autour de la théorie de Rawls. Il présente d'abord les théories que Rawls critique (utilitarisme, intuitionnisme), puis la sienne, puis quelques unes de celles qui lui répondent (Nozick, Sen, Walzer).

The Economic Impact of Visitors at Major Multi-sport Events

2005

Abstract This paper examines the economic impact of major multi-sport event on affected people. Their spending increases the economic benefit for the city and region staging the event. Therefore a theoretical differentiation of movements of persons affected by the event was done. A model was worked out to detect the regional primary economic impact through these people. This primary impact can be used in any model of economic impact analysis, such as input–output frameworks or multiplier theory. The complexities in considering the right persons and their spending are analysed and described in detail. A special focus is placed on the evaluation of opportunity costs on people that get crowded…

Dental Public Health Landscape: Challenges, Technological Innovation and Opportunities in the 21st Century and COVID-19 Pandemic

2020

The convergent forces of rising costs, growing consumerism, expensive new treatments, sociodemographic shifts and increasing health disparities are exerting intense and unsustainable pressures on healthcare systems. As with the other health domains, these disruptive forces demand new approaches and delivery models for oral healthcare. Technological innovations and practices borrowed from the e-commerce and tech sectors could facilitate the move to a sustainable 21(st) century oral healthcare system, one that delivers high-quality, value-based care to wider groups of patients. The broad reach of mobile technologies and changing digital lifestyles provide unique opportunities for using remote…
