Proposer des révisions intersessions aux étudiants de 1ère année : quelles relations avec la réussite aux examens ?
2013
This paper assesses a revision programme proposed to unsuccessful students between the two examination sessions within the framework of the "Plan réussite en Licence" in first year at the University of Burgundy, both in terms of student participation and links with achievement. The low participation of students is not associated with particular student profiles. An analysis of the students' future shows that student participation in the revision programme led to a lower drop-out risk during the second examination session and greater success, but only as regards the examinations of the 2nd semester. It should also be noted that student participation also has positive effects in the mid-term …

A New Methodology to Construct a Database of World University Exams
2020
Since the final decades of the 20th century, university education has witnessed rapid growth. However, the quality of the education has varied a lot within the different programs around the world. How can we measure quality in university education? A number of institutions release annual global rankings of universities according to academic fields. One of the most respected lists, the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities, uses a complex methodology to rank world universities, including six objective indicators, i.e. the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, the number of articles published in prestigious journals, the number of Highly Cited Researcher…
Bērnības vardarbības ģimenē psiholoģiskā un psihiatriskā ietekme uz jauniešiem, kuri mācās universitātes līmenī
2022
Nosaukums: Bērnības vardarbības ģimenē psiholoģiskā un psihiatriskā ietekme uz jauniešiem, kuri mācās universitātes līmenī Authore: Katharina Franziska Melz, BA Darba vadītāja: Andis Užāns, MD Priekšvēsture: Vardarbība ģimenē jau sen ir atzīta par kaitīgu gan bērniem, gan pieaugušajiem. Daudzas valstis ir ieviesušas aizsardzības pasākumus, piemēram, nodrošinājušas audžuģimenes bērniem, kurus skārusi vardarbība ģimenē. Taču, tā kā vardarbība ģimenē parasti notiek tikai “aiz slēgtām durvīm”, ir jāpieņem, ka tā ir daudz izplatītāka, nekā liecina valsts statistika. Turklāt vardarbības ģimenē definīcija atšķiras, un to bieži uzskata par neērtu vai nepiemērotu diskusijai. Abi šie faktori apgrūtin…
Les déterminants des compétences sociales des élèves de cycle III
2016
Les différences de réussite à l’école primaire traditionnellement étudiées par les chercheurs en éducation peuvent être analysées à la lumière des compétences et plus particulièrement des compétences sociales. Champ théorique encore en construction, les compétences sociales deviennent tout de même un « incontournable » pour les acteurs du système éducatif et pour la recherche en sciences de l’éducation. Par une approche pluridisciplinaire, cet article propose d’étudier quels sont les déterminants des compétences sociales à l’aide d’indicateurs sociodémographiques et scolaires largement empruntés dans les modèles d’explication des différences de réussite, auxquels sont associées des mesures …

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES BELOW MUNICIPAL LEVEL: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBOURHOODS AND SMALL COMMUNITIES
2020
This work is inspired by the accompanying report to the opinion, presented to the European Committee of the Regions and approved by a large majority in Brussels on February 12, 2020, honouring, on the day of the 40th anniversary of the assassination, the memory of Prof. Vittorio Bachelet, vice-president of the Italian Superior Council of the Judiciary, murdered by terrorist hands at the end of the lesson of administrative law at the Faculty of Political Science at the University "La Sapienza" in Rome. The sacrifice of this courageous Catholic jurist is a perennial warning of democratic civilization against the darkness of reason of those who practice hatred and violence.
Using corpus tools to analyse learner language in a UK EAP context
2014
This study analyses the language of successful spoken requests used by Chinese intermediate level English for Academic Purposes (EAP) students in Discourse Completion Tasks (DCTs) at a UK higher education institution. Using corpus tools, the authors examined the frequent words, chunks and moves in request data and compared this to general reference corpora. Findings suggest that successful spoken requests often made use of high frequency modals and chunks. The data also demonstrated that the use of appropriate request moves were often associated with success, even if the language used contained linguistic errors. The findings have important implications for how spoken requests are taught in…
Genome-wide association study identifies five susceptibility loci for follicular lymphoma outside the HLA region.
2014
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of follicular lymphoma (FL) have previously identified human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene variants. To identify additional FL susceptibility loci, we conducted a large-scale two-stage GWAS in 4,523 case subjects and 13,344 control subjects of European ancestry. Five non-HLA loci were associated with FL risk: 11q23.3 (rs4938573, p = 5.79 × 10 -20) near CXCR5; 11q24.3 (rs4937362, p = 6.76 × 10 -11) near ETS1; 3q28 (rs6444305, p = 1.10 × 10 -10) in LPP; 18q21.33 (rs17749561, p = 8.28 × 10 -10) near BCL2; and 8q24.21 (rs13254990, p = 1.06 × 10 -8) near PVT1. In an analysis of the HLA region, we identified four linked HLA-DRß1 multiallelic amino acids at p…
