[Recommendations for end-of-life care in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
2009
Over the last 20 years, advances in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have improved survival even among patients in the most advanced stages of the disease, such as those requiring domiciliary oxygen therapy.1,2 This improvement—in principle a positive development—has given rise to considerable clinical problems associated with the establishment of a therapeutic ceiling and the difficulty of determining prognosis in some of these patients. In this situation, the clinician should consider introducing palliative care, that is, care aimed at improving symptom control, communication, physical activity, and emotional support, in order to achieve the best…

L'efficacité de la politique des zones d'éducation prioritaire dans les collèges
1994
This paper compares pupils progress along the first two years of middle schools fréquentation, whether these schools are in an E.P.A. or not, initial predictors of attainment being kept under control. In French and mathematics, pupils appear to have slightly weaker gains in E.P.A. than they should have elsewhere. The gap is greater for at risk pupils. E.P.A. seem to have a positive effect on pupils relation to schooling, but not on other attitudes or competenties regarding schoolwork or socialization. The E.P.A. policy effects do vary according to the schools.

Method: Individuals from Buenos Aires ( n = 712) were surveyed for their political partisanship and their attitudes toward Peruvian and Bolivian immigrants, people with schizophrenia and partisans from the opposing p…
Psychometric analysis of the Scale of Teacher's Perception of School Adjustment (PROF-A)
2015
La percepción del profesor del ajuste escolar de sus alumnos puede ser un importante indicador de su bienestar psicosocial y aportar información útil para el desarrollo de intervenciones encaminadas a mejorar su ajuste psicosocial. No obstante, para ello es fundamental considerar dentro del ajuste escolar no sólo el rendimiento académico del alumno sino también su nivel de integración social en el aula, la calidad de su relación con el profesor y el grado de implicación familiar en su educación. El objetivo de esta investigación es aportar un instrumento fiable para una medición completa del ajuste escolar y analizar su relación con dos importantes indicadores de ajuste psicosocial, el auto…
: The pupils' learning in their context : the effects of the composition of the school environment
2003
Whilst we admit to recognising the contextualised character of pupils' learning, the no less essential influence of the parameters of the school or social context remains a relatively unemplored field. Of course, the mobility of school effectiveness amply demonstrates the influence of the school of class attended by the pupils on their progression. But in the search for general factors of effectiveness, this trend has had few questions asked of it concerning the relationship with the characteristics of the pupil public. However, all work carried out on the impact of the forms of grouping of the pupils shows that both the average level of the group and the social composition (known in the An…
: Influence of tenth graders' personal school experiences on their achievement and curriculum choices
2005
This study shows that various dimensions of students' school experiences (namely academic self-evaluation and their attitude towards certain subjects) have a significant influence on their academic achievement (French and Mathematics), as well as on their curriculum choices. The results should encourage teachers and counsellors to take into account students' personal biases when helping them to either construct academic projects or to avoid academic failure.
The consequences on job satisfaction of job–worker educational and skill mismatches in the Spanish labour market: a panel analysis
2012
The effects of job-worker mismatches on job satisfaction are examined using the eight waves (1994-2001) of Spanish data taken from the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). The impacts of both educational and skill mismatches are estimated considering unobserved heterogeneity, state dependence and attrition bias. Dynamic analysis shows that skill mismatches emerge as a much better predictor of job satisfaction than educational mismatches as the effects of the latter are related to unobserved heterogeneity among workers. Moreover, the current level of job satisfaction appears to be influenced by workers' previous job perceptions, suggesting a dynamic structure for job satisfaction.
