Association Between Implementation of the Athlete Biological Passport and Female Elite Runners’ Performance
2020
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the performances of female middle- and long-distance runners before and after the implementation of a new antidoping strategy (the Athlete Biological Passport [ABP]) in a country accused of systematic doping. A retrospective analysis of the results of Russian National Championships from 2008 to 2017 was performed. The 8 best female performances for the 800-m, 1500-m, 3000-m steeplechase, 5000-m, and 10,000-m events from the semifinals and finals were analyzed. The yearly number of athletes fulfilling standard qualifications for international competitions was also evaluated. Overall, numbers of athletes banned for doping in 2008–2017 were calculat…
The Agr communication system provides a benefit to the populations of Listeria monocytogenes in soil
2014
International audience; In this study, we investigated whether the Agr communication system of the pathogenic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes was involved in adaptation and competitiveness in soil. Alteration of the ability to communicate, either by deletion of the gene coding the response regulator AgrA (response-negative mutant) or the signal pro-peptide AgrD (signal-negative mutant), did not affect population dynamics in soil that had been sterilized but survival was altered in biotic soil suggesting that the Agr system of L. monocytogenes was involved to face the complex soil biotic environment. This was confirmed by a set of co-incubation experiments. The fitness of the response-negat…

Tra conservazione e innovazione: la Banca Mondiale e la modificazione del concetto di sviluppo, 1946–1981
2004
Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale si è a lungo ritenuto che la crescita economica fosse uno strumento sufficiente a migliorare in un ragionevole lasso di tempo le condizioni di vita delle popolazioni dei paesi in via di sviluppo. La Banca Mondiale ha condiviso questo punto di vista, dedicandosi a investimenti di carattere direttamente produttivo o infrastrutturale. Alla fine degli anni Sessanta divenne però evidente che la crescita economica non coinvolgeva tutti gli strati delle popolazioni di un paese, spesso escludendo dal processo gli strati più poveri. La crescita economica non implicava necessariamente un adeguato sviluppo dei sistemi sociali e politici dei paesi interessati. La Banca M…
The World Bank’s Early Reflections on Development: A Development Institution or a Bank?
2009
Until the late 1960s, the World Bank presented itself as an institution devoted to making sound and directly productive project loans. Yet, during its very early years, some discussions developed inside the Bank regarding the possibility of issuing different types of loans, namely (i) loans aimed at tackling social issues ("social loans"), and (ii) loans aimed at providing foreigncurrency to address disequilibria in the balance of payments ("impact loans"). This paper brings together historical analysis and theories of organization development to study the housing issue as a case in point. The analysis reveals that the Bank was unwilling to lend for housing programs not because these were n…
: The Place of the State in Africa according to the World Bank : limits of a neo-liberal policy
2005
This contribution aims to analyse the change in discourse held by the World Bank concerning the reform of the State in Africa in the educational sphere. After inspection, it emerges that despite new discourses on the "fight against poverty", the World Bank's neo-liberal policy still grants the State a minor role in the design and execution of educational policies. One would have thought of an evolution from the strict structural adjustment policies towards a policy of social adjustment where fundamental assets concerning the social field would be taken into account. That is not the case : the fight against poverty policy maintains the course of adjustment policies, by preserving a minimal s…
La Place de l'Etat en Afrique selon la Banque mondiale : De l'ajustement structurel à l'ajustement social. Les limites d'une politique néo-libérale «…
2007
07003 - 17 p.; Les Documents de travail de l'IREDU 2007/3; Cette contribution a pour objectif d'analyser le changement de discours que porte la Banque mondiale sur la réforme de l'État en Afrique, et ce dans la sphère éducative. Après examen, il ressort que malgré les nouveaux discours de « lutte contre la pauvreté », la politique néo-libérale de la Banque mondiale accorde à l'État une place toujours aussi mineure dans la conception et l'exécution des politiques éducatives. On aurait pu croire à la réalité d'une évolution de la politique d'ajustement structurel stricte vers une politique d'ajustement social où des acquis fondamentaux seraient pris en compte concernant le domaine social. Il …

2019
This article analyzes the reception of the classical world in the Spanish nobiliary culture at the end of the 18th century. Our objective is materialized through the study of the Greco-Roman books present in the unpublished catalog of the library of José Álvarez de Toledo, 11th Marqués de villafranca. From the examination of the authors and the different editions conserved by the aristocrat, the work tries to examine the influence of the classical world and its actuality in the development of the most advanced nobiliary culture of eighteenth- century Spain.
