La violencia contra las menores que inician su trayectoria vital en situación de vulnerabilidad social
2016
Este artículo desvela los tipos de violencia que sufrieron las mujeres institucionalizadas cuando eran menores de edad. Las técnicas de investigación utilizadas han sido de índole cualitativa. Se ha realizado observación participante y, a través de informes sociales, documentos personales, entrevistas informales y en profundidad, se han elaborado quince historias de vida de las mujeres que han residido en los centros de protección de la Comunidad Valenciana entre los años 1999 y 2012. Esta aproximación se centra en las ocho que iniciaron su trayectoria vital en la situación de vulnerabilidad. Los resultados muestran que las menores han sufrido distintos tipos de violencia. Una de las princi…
SY29-3SOCIAL DEFEAT IN ADOLESCENT MICE INCREASES VULNERABILITY TO ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
2015
Background. Stressful life situations have been widely linked to drug-seeking. Several studies in humans and animal models have demonstrated that exposure to different kinds of stress increases abuse and relapse to abuse of certain drugs such as alcohol. Methods. This study employs an oral operant conditioning paradigm to evaluate the …
Human Trafficking: The Viscous Link Between Vulnerability and Proximity Violence
2020
The definition of “human trafficking”, adopted by the United Nations Protocol, clearly describes how the international community has outlined the concepts of victim and perpetrator. Despite the definitive effort made by this Protocol, the present chapter seeks to throw light on the fuzzy area existing within the rapport between vulnerability and proximity violence which makes the consensual exploitation of the victim by the trafficker possible as well as making it difficult to outline its contours in the courtrooms.
Silent say, saying effective and discourse mask
2021
In communication, every speaker must choose meticulously the aptness in the word, the gesture, the smile, the look or even the silence. The being-speaker hides and beyond protects himself behind his discursive mask which provides him with a linguistic security. While many disciplines - social psychology, psychoanalysis and philosophy – have seized the notion of the mask in their frame of reference, this concept still remains absent today in the language sciences. However, the game of masks substitution is fundamental in language activity. This game is so usual that we do not even notice it anymore, except in situations where we are explicitly asked to make an effort to adapt to the rule of …
Security Standards Applied to Drinking Water
2021
This chapter presents security standards as applied to drinking water, based on the assumption that freshwater sources face huge threats for humankind both qualitatively and quantitatively due to uncertain global changes, namely population growth, rapid urbanization, and climate change. The study investigates whether the International Featured Standards (IFS—Food), which are complementary to HACCP (Hazard analysis and critical control point), can be used as a system of indicators to measure water security. The case study focuses on bottled water, by identifying structural and contingent risk factors for water as essential food and investigates the suitability of the IFS instrument as an ind…
Ethnographic context and spatial coherence of climate indicators for farming communities : a multi-regional comparative assessment
2015
Accurate seasonal predictions of rainfall may reduce climatic risks that farmers are usually faced with across the tropical and subtropical zones. However, although regional-scale seasonal amounts have regularly been forecasted since 1997/98, the practical use of these seasonal predictions is still limited by myriad factors. This paper synthesizes the main resultsof a multi-disciplinary ethnographic and climatic project (PICREVAT). Its main objective was to seek the climatic information ? beyond the seasonal amounts ? critical for crops, both as an actual constraint to crop yields and as identified by the current and past practices and perceptions of farmers. A second goal was to confront t…
Security Implications of Using Third-Party Resources in the World Wide Web
2018
Modern web pages have nothing in common with the static connotation coming from the word “page” - it is a dynamic unique experience created by active content and executed within browser, just-in-time assembled from various resources hosted on many different domains. Active content increases attack surface naturally exposing users to many novel threats. A popular security advice has been to deploy active content blocker plugins like NoScript, unfortunately they are not capable to effectively stop the attacks. Content Security Policy (CSP) can be effective against these attacks, but we demonstrate how poor decisions made by website administrators or external resource hosters can render CSP in…
Analyse spatiale de l’évolution du risque de gel sur la vigne en Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
2019
The warming undergone by the global climate does not necessarily entail a decrease in frost risk in agriculture/viticulture. Since both plant and climate are likely to evolve under changing environmental conditions, plant vulnerability and the meteorological phenomenon (frost) should be considered jointly when assessing the evolution of frost risk. This study aims at documenting the spatial and temporal frost risk changes in the winegrowing subregions of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The period between budburst and the last spring frost occurrence date has been considered as the most vulnerable for grapevines. We considered a plant as being stressed by a frost event when the temperature drops be…

Sensitivity of water quality of three contrasted north-eastern French watersheds to climate change (2006-2100) using SWAT model
2015
International audience; The SWAT model has been chosen to assess climate change impacts on water quality of three subbassins ofnorth-eastern France: located on headwaters of three major rivers of France (Loire, Seine and Rhône riversrespectively). These watersheds have a size less than 3000km² and present different hydrogeological andgeological characteristics. Land-use as well as their agricultural practices being also diversified, the threewatersheds studied constitute a relevant experimentation area. The goal of this study is to assess local vulnerability of surface water quality (sediments, nutrients,dissolved oxygen loads) to climate change (2006-2100) following the Representative Conc…
