Pourquoi la science économique redécouvre les activités d'éducation ?
1993
The high level in public deficit and the preeminence of supply side ideas in the economic thought converge for introducing a debate on educational financing. The aim of education activities is also more and more confronted with the rise of youth unemployment. But on the other side, the challenge for a nation to participate in the new global economy emphasizes the place of human capital and the correlation between competitiveness, and the distribution of general knowledge in the population. This text deals first with some factual elements. On one hand, it provides a comparative approach among rich nations, on the other hand, it deals with a historical approach of the French case. In a second…

Chemical composition and biological activity of the essential oil of Ballota hispanica (L.) Benth. growing wild in Sicily
2015
Ballota L. comprises several relevant species largely used for their excellent therapeutic properties. Ballota hispanica (L.) Benth. is widely used in herbal medicine, and it is sold in herbalist shops for its sedative and antispasmodic properties. Considering its traditional medicinal use and the lack of scientific studies on the volatile components of this species as well as on its biological activities, in this study the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of B. hispanica, collected in Sicily, was evaluated by gas chromatography and gas chromatographyâmass spectrometry. α-Elemol was the most abundant component of the oil (10.9%), followed by α-ylangene (8.5%),…
Grain Composition and Functional Ingredients of Barley Varieties Created in Latvia
2015
Abstract Cereals, including barley, have been recognised as functional foods that provide beneficial effect on the health of the consumer and decrease the risk of various diseases. The aim of investigation was to determine the grain composition of barley varieties and perspective breeding lines bred in Latvia and to evaluate its functional ingredients. The results of analysis showed that protein content among varieties ranged from 106.6-146.8 g·kg-1, total dietary fibre 187.4-208.2 g·kg-1, β-glucans 42.8 g-49.4 g·kg-1, and amount of α-tocopherol 6.03-8.93 mg·kg-1. The sum of essential amino acids in barley grain samples was from 32.90 g·kg-1 to 38.71 g·kg-1. All varieties of hulled and hull…
Commentaires sur l'utilisation des copies de flûtes archéologiques en os -- Enquête méthodologique et épistémologique
2016
International audience; Voici quelques décennies que l'archéomusicologie tente des études sonores de vestiges d'instruments présumés musicaux. Malgré le temps écoulé depuis les premiers travaux du genre, la question de l'influence des méthodes sur les résultats produits n'a que rarement été posée, ou bien à peine explorée. Il manque, en sorte, une mise en perspective épistémologique. L'outil méthodologique et épistémologique que s'est avéré être l'apprentissage artisanal nous a justement poussé dans cette direction : à la recherche des phénomènes à l'oeuvre dans la manufacture ainsi que dans l'usage de copies de flûtes en os. Les biais recherchés touchent autant les dimensions acoustiques e…

La libertad incorporada como clave para la neuroeducación moral
2019
La libertad es uno de los principales atributos con los que tradicionalmente se ha caracterizado al ser humano. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar si a la luz de las investigaciones y los experimentos neurocientíficos es posible seguir caracterizando al ser humano como un ser con libertad. Para ello se alude al conocido experimento de Benjamin Libet y las conclusiones reduccionistas que influyentes autores como Patricia S. Churchland o Michael Gazzaniga extraen para la filosofía práctica. Desde una metodología hermenéutica, se denuncia el reduccionismo neurocientífico que pretende negar la libertad basándose en evidencias empíricas. Frente a dicho reduccionismo se propone un enfoque h…

2021
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt japāņu cīņas mākslas kendō (剣道 kendō) vēsturi un to, kā tā attīstījās kopš pirmo zobenu cīņas mākslas kendžucu (剣術 kenjutsu) skolu rašanās brīža Muromači periodā (1336-1573) līdz mūsdienām. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no 3 daļām un 8 nodaļām. Pirmajā daļā tiks pētīta zobenu vēsture, pirmās kendžucu skolas un nozīmīgāko zobenu cīņas meistaru ietekme uz kendō attīstību. Otrā daļa ietvers laiku no Meidži perioda (1868-1912) līdz 2.pasaules karam. Tiks izpētīts, kā zobenu cīņas mākslas tika modernizētas un iekļautas skolu programmās. Trešajā daļā tiks noskaidrots, kā kendō kļuva par vienu no populārākajām japāņu cīņas mākslām pasaulē. Darba apjoms ir 40 lapas.
Characterization and antimicrobial activity of the volatile components of the flowers of Magydaris tomentosa (Desf.) DC. collected in Sicily and Alge…
2014
The essential oils of the flowers of Magydaris tomentosa (Desf.) DC. (Apiaceae) collected in Sicily (MSi) and Algeria (MAl), respectively, were obtained by hydrodistillation, and their compositions were analysed. The analyses allowed the identification and quantification of 23 components in MSi and 60 compounds in MAl, respectively, showing a very different profile in the composition of the two populations. The main components of MSi were cembrene (28.2%), α-springene (17.5%) and β-springene (14.8%), also present in MAl but in lesser amount (0.4%, 1.8% and 0.9%, respectively), whereas the principal constituents of MAl were (E)-nerolidol (35.4%), α-costol (13.3%) and β-costol (6.8%). Both MS…
Three three-letter words in three recent novels in three different languages: God, sex and joy
2017
In this article, the authors propose to analyse the ways in which religion and sexuality are related to one another in three recent novels: (1) Fransi Phillips�s Die donker god (2007), (2) Inga �olude�s Santa Biblia (2013) and (3) Michel Houellebecq�s Soumission [English translation: Submission] (2015). In each case, the novels are briefly placed within their respective literary cultures (Afrikaans, Latvian and French) in order to offer a contextually sensitive analysis. After each of the novels has been discussed related to the three related topoi of God, sex and joy, some comparative remarks are offered in conclusion.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: In this contrib…
