Could male tergal secretions be considered as a nuptial gift in the Madeira cockroach?
2008
International audience; Many male insects provide somatic nuptial gifts that may strongly influence reproductive fitness, ensuring effective copulation or mediating paternal resource benefits in offspring. Although the courtship feeding behaviour on tergal gland secretions has been described in numerous cockroaches, studies on the function of these so-called nuptial gifts are lacking in this group. In this study, we examined, in the Madeira cockroach, Leucophaea maderae, the functional significance of tergal secretions by manipulating their availability on the back of males. We tested whether male tergal secretions function as a form of mating effort, and/or as a form of paternal investment…
Emotional Intelligence Profiles and Self-Esteem/Self-Concept: An Analysis of Relationships in Gifted Students
2021
The psychological well-being of students affects their academic achievement, social relationships and school coexistence and is something that families worry about. This aspect becomes vital when students have atypical development and/or specific needs. Studies on the impact of giftedness on students&rsquo
Cíborgs : res ipsa loquitur
2020
En el presente trabajo analizamos el daño desproporcionado sobre la naturaleza humana causado por el fenómeno cíborg a través de su encaje en la regla res ipsa loquitur, o la cosa habla por sí sola. Por un lado, fundamentamos lo que denominados naturaleza humana haciendo referencia a las iguales capacidades humanas, necesarias en el cumplimiento de funciones vitales. Por otro, esta regla recibe también el nombre de daño desproporcionado y su teoría vincula el resultado causado sobre la cosa con la lex artis de una profesión, de ahí que, para su análisis jurídico, hayamos optado por el ámbito sanitario

La fides e la fraus: i doni del tiranno nel Thyestes di Seneca
2019
Nel Thyestes, Seneca riscrive la pratica del dono (536, 984) come strumento della vendetta del tiranno, che ne sfrutta il potere di attrazione. Combinando la categoria della fides con il meccanismo della fraus, Atreo intende mettere in scena un inganno in grado di soddisfare le “inique aspettative” (spes improba, 295) di Tieste, che spera di ottenere il regno (regna nunc sperat mea, 289), e fornirgli una garanzia tangibile di pace (fides pacis, 294). Una tale dinamica prende la forma di un “dono simulato”, una pratica di reciprocità in cui Atreo svolge il ruolo del donatore (dans) e Tieste è indotto ad assumere quello del destinatario (accipiens). Il tiranno lo rappresenta come un modo per …
Economia della condivisione e antropologia dello scambio
2017
The article analyses the distinctive economic models based on sharing that proliferated with the rise of web 2.0 (or social web). In particular, it analyzes what sharing means in different contexts (material and immaterial goods, and services) and it questions whether sharing can be seen as a discrete category, different from both market exchange and gift. Finally, the article questions the role of law with respect of these new economic activities.
Networked Analysis of a Teaching Unit for Primary School Symmetries in the Form of an E-Book
2021
In mathematics education, technology offers many opportunities to enrich curricular contents. Plane symmetries is a topic often skipped by primary teachers. However, it is important and may be worked in attractive ways in dynamic geometry software environments. In any regular classroom there are students with different levels of mathematical attainment, some needing easy tasks while others, particularly mathematically-gifted students, need challenging problems. We present a teaching unit for plane symmetries, adequate for upper primary school grades, implemented in a fully interactive electronic book, with most activities solved in GeoGebra apps. The book allows student to choose which itin…
Le culte en quête de signes. Une lecture de la campagne du « Denier de l’Église »
2010
Using a semiotic approach, this article analyses the communication actions of the Catholic Church, from a de-centred point of view. Indeed, rather than focusing on the communicational values of the evangelical message, we examine the way that the Church communicates outside its institutional and spiritual sphere, in the profane world of the media, through the example of the "campagne du Denier" fundraising campaign. This is both a fundraising activity, and a message aimed at Catholics, in a sector - public charity and donations - which is highly competitive. As a result, the Church must (re)define its position, the public that it constructs through its discourse, and its discourse itself, i…
Svensklärarnas skrivundervisning på gymnasienivå
2013
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa, millaisia kirjoittamistehtäviä ja työskentelytapoja lukion ruotsinopettajat käyttävät opettaessaan kirjoittamista, sekä selvittää, ovatko opettajat huomanneet joidenkin tehtävätyyppien tai työtapojen olevan oppimisen kannalta tehokkaampia kuin toisten. Tarkoituksena oli myös saada selville, eriyttävätkö opettajat kirjoittamisen opetusta sekä kuinka paljon ylioppilaskirjoitukset vaikuttavat opetukseen. Tutkielma toteutettiin kyselytutkimuksena, ja sen aineistona olivat 19 ruotsinopettajan kyselylomakevastaukset, jotka kerättiin joulukuun 2012 aikana Suomen Ruotsinopettajien liiton sähköpostilistan kautta. Kyselykaavake sisälsi kahdeksan väittämä…
The logic of the gift and the bonding value: a new perspective for business management
2011
PurposeThis paper aims to conceptualize business relationships so as to include in these dimensions of both gift and gratuity, to develop the concept of “bonding value”, and to offer some ideas for the use of this within firms.Design/methodology/approachThe paper analyses the concept of “bonding value”, distinguishing it from the concepts of “exchange value” and “use value” that are normally used in business, and attempts to investigate its practical implications.FindingsThe paper shows how evaluating both the relationships within the organization and between firm and stakeholders in terms of “bonding value” can have effects on the economic, organizational and social aspects of a firm's act…
