The nationality of companies in French law
2012
The development of international economic relations and the construction of an integrated European area, both from an economic and a political point of view, has revived the debate on the nationality of trading companies. The question is not so much whether trading companies have a nationality on an equal footing with natural persons – solutions have long been accepted by international doctrine and jurisprudence – but rather to determine how this notion has evolved and adapted to the constraints on the one hand, of a globalized market economy and, on the other hand, of European Union law which overturns the traditionally accepted solutions of nationality of trading companies into the legal …

Reading Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” as Bildungsromane
2018
Abstract In this essay, Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” is read as a series of Bildungsromane that test the limits of that genre. In these thematically unrelated novels, characters reach critical points in their lives when they are confronted with the ways in which their respective childhoods have shaped their grownup expectations and professional careers. In each, the protagonist has a successful career, whether as a musician (The Unconsoled), a detective (When We Were Orphans), or a carer (Never Let Me Go), but finds it difficult to overcome childhood trauma. Ishiguro’s treatment of childhood in these novels foregrounds the tension between individual subjectivity and the formal st…
Dialogues of Joy : Shared Moments of Joy Between Teachers and Children in Early Childhood Education Settings
2019
Abstract The study focuses on teachers’ and children’s shared moments of joy in early childhood education settings and contributes new knowledge in educational research by exploring joy as a relational rather than an individual phenomenon. The theoretical and methodological framework draws on a narrative approach and Martin Buber’s dialogical philosophy. Data were gathered through video observations and diary notes in open ECE groups in Finland, with children from 2 to 6 years. The scenes of everyday life in ECE appeared to radiate an overall positive atmosphere. However, the relationship between shared joy and dialogue was multifaceted. On one hand, joyful moments between teachers and chil…
Autonomous patrol and surveillance system using unmanned aerial vehicles
2015
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly popular for civil applications due to their flight capabilities and mobility. This paper proposes an indoor autonomous patrol and surveillance system using unmanned aerial vehicles. The system consists of six components: (1) a low cost vision-based pose estimation of UAVs, (2) vision-based state estimation, (3) UAV patrol path planning, (4) UAV controller to desired waypoints, (5) manual joystick controller and (6) assignment of priority hierarchy to multiple control inputs of a robot. The components were integrated successfully and the designed system was experimented in an indoor setup. Results has shown that the proposed system is suitable…
Positivity as a resource for learning : enjoyment in the English classroom in Finland
2017
Tunteet ovat osa arkielämää, ja koulussa oppilaat kokevat sekä positiivisia että negatiivisia tunteita jatkuvasti. Positiivinen psykologia tutkimusalana tutkii myönteisiä tunteita, joilla on mm. todettu olevan yhteys hyvinvointiin ja henkilökohtaiseen kasvuun, mutta niitä ei ole juuri tutkittu oppimisen kontekstissa omana tutkimuskohteenaan. Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee iloon tai mielihyvään rinnastettavissa olevaa tunnetta (engl. enjoyment) kielenopiskelussa, jonka on havaittu vaihtelevan esimerkiksi iän, sukupuolen, koulumenestyksen tai opiskeltujen kielten määrän mukaan. Tutkimus koostui kahdesta osasta: ensimmäinen osa tutki monivalintakyselyn avulla tilastollisin menetelmin, kokevatko suo…

La importancia social de la moda femenina burguesa a mediados del siglo XIX en Valencia
2002
El siglo XIX fue un período de permanente evolución en el modo de vestir femenino con cambios en el estilo, la manufactura y los tejidos. Todos estos cambios fueron debidos al desarrollo industrial, los avances técnicos, la evolución en los sistemas de trasporte y a la difusión de la publicidad, de los periódicos y de las revistas; reduciéndose, por tanto, los costes medios de producción y consiguiendo que aparentemente la moda fuese accesible a todo el mundo. Sin embargo, a primera vista, las diferencias continuaron y cualquiera podía clasificar socialmente a una mujer por su modo de vestir.
Contre l'autonomie et la clôture du texte : formes et ambiguïtés de la fiction moderniste européenne : (1910-1939)
2014
Although it has been a key concept of literary criticism in the English-speaking world for more than a half-century, modernism remains a relatively misunderstood notion in France, owing to its proximity to somewhat close concepts such as modernity and avant-garde, which it only partially overlaps. The concept is relevant to experimentation in all literary genres, but this study focuses on the novel, with texts by James Joyce, André Gide, Ramón Gómez de la Serna and Virginia Woolf. Those have often been mischaracterized by literary critics as either mimetic novels — though more realistic than realist novels — or more frequently as emblematic of the self-referential text, as defined by the do…
