Students' understanding of ɛ-statements involving equality and limit
2018
International audience; The purpose of this paper is to explore how students may understand the link between the formalisations through ɛ-statements of infinite processes in the Archimedean continuum. These processes illustrate either equality or limit. In particular, we focus on the extent to which students perceive the formalisation of the infinite closeness notion in the two processes. The data is collected from an extensive design research carried out at the transition between Calculus course and Analysis course. TDS construct of milieu is deployed to build and to analyse exploratory teaching-experiments. The results put forward how ɛ-statements may assist students to reconsider their i…
Zasada pozytywnej dyskryminacji mniejszości narodowych w ujęciu teoretycznym i praktyce ustrojowej
2018
CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest zbadanie teoretycznych aspektów zasady pozytywnej dyskryminacji, ustrojowych uwarunkowań jej zastosowania w odniesieniu do mniejszości narodowych w Polsce oraz dziedzin, w których może być realizowana. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Zagadnienie pozytywnej dyskryminacji znajduje się w obrębie zainteresowania przedstawicieli wielu nauk i idealnie wpasowuje się w koncepcję demokracji ujmowanej jako wartości, procedury i w sensie substancjalnym. Nie jest ona przy tym ochroną antydyskryminacyjną, lecz jej wsparciem, promotorem równości formalnej i faktycznej. W Polsce, choć odsetek mniejszości narodowych jest nikły, pozytywna dyskryminacja ma rangę zasady w Konstytuc…
Les bizutages dans le monde ouvrier en France à l’époque contemporaine
2013
Dans le monde ouvrier, des pratiques informelles de bizutage se reperent, accomplies par des hommes comme par des femmes sur les jeunes jusque vers les annees 1970 environ, pour accompagner leur entree dans les usines. Elles fonctionnent a la fois comme rites de passage, manifestations brutales de domination voire de violence, et blague dont il convient de rire. Mais, parce qu’elles revetent une dimension sexuelle manifeste, elles participent de l’identification des masculinites ouvrieres a la virilite.
Shape optimization in contact problems based on penalization of the state inequality
1986
The paper deals with the approximation of optimal shape of elastic bodies, unilaterally supported by a rigid, frictionless foundation. Original state inequality, describing the behaviour of such a body is replaced by a family of penalized state problems. The relation between optimal shapes for the original state inequality and those for penalized state equations is established. peerReviewed
Women Scientists Who Made Nuclear Astrophysics
2019
Female role models reduce the impact on women of stereotype threat, i.e. of being at risk of conforming to a negative stereotype about one’s social, gender, or racial group (Fine in Delusion of Gender. W.W. Norton & Co. NY, p. 36, 2010 [1]; Steele and Aronson in J Pers Soc Psychol 69:797–811, 1995 [2]). This can lead women scientists to underperform or to leave their scientific career because of negative stereotypes such as, not being as talented or as interested in science as men. Sadly, history rarely provides role models for women scientists; instead, it often renders these women invisible (CafeBabel Homepage [3]). In response to this situation, we present a selection of twelve outst…
Struggles for moral value and the reproduction of gendered and racialised hierarchies in online discussions of violence
2019
The article examines online discussions in Finland that focus on violence committed by Finnish women, on one hand, and non-white migrant men, on the other. Drawing on the perspective of sociology of value, the article illustrates how these discussions function as sites of struggles over moral worth in a contemporary context characterised by crises of both male and white hegemony. The authors suggest that, through the discussions, these current crises are projected on migrant men and certain groups of women, who thereby become construed as morally reprehensible. The analysis sheds light on processes of (re-)legitimating the moral virtue historically attached to both masculinity and whitenes…
Women’s Careers in Management : Confronted Problems and Approved Practices
2022
Gender equality has not been achieved anywhere in the world. One persistent, global challenge is that women struggle to advance to management positions in the workplace. This chapter focuses on the area of management as it relates to women’s careers. Well-known metaphors that highlight the complexity of the problems women face in their careers are presented. Additionally, two examples of practices that can be helpful to the advancement of women’s careers, namely, all-women management development programmes and work-family arrangements are discussed. It is concluded that although there has been progress around women’s moving in managerial roles in many places over the years, much still needs…
Finnish welfare service system from the standpoint of women in vulnerable life situations
2020
In this chapter, the authors analyse how the Finnish welfare service system, as it consists of different institutions and professionals, meets or fails to meet the needs of women in varying vulnerable life situations. The participants are women with severe substance abuse problems, women sentenced for committing a crime and poor lone mothers living on basic social benefits. The findings show that women’s experiences of encounters with welfare professionals as well as their access to and use of the services share a number of characteristics. They described several barriers and problems related to the complexity of the service system. These included receiving only limited support for basic ne…

Differential effects of perceptions of equal, favourable and unfavourable autonomy support on educational and well-being outcomes
2019
In this study, we examined whether high-school students experienced optimal educational and well-being outcomes when they perceived that they and their classmates received an equal, rather than unequal, and high amount of autonomy support from teachers. In a prospective study that aimed to predict academic grades and well-being outcomes, surface analyses of polynomial regression equations pointed that perceptions of equal autonomy support were the most optimal in terms of yielding highest levels of need satisfaction, autonomous forms of motivation and happiness with math courses. Additionally, in accordance with tenets of self-determination theory, we demonstrated that effects associated wi…
