Raising awareness on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through Lego Serious Play (LSP)

2020

[EN] In September 2015, world leaders agreed on a new sustainable development agenda based on a set of global goals aimed at eradicating poverty, ensuring planet protection and guaranteeing prosperity for future generations (Stafford-Smith et al., 2017). Since then, the education sector has played a fundamental role, not only raising awareness among young people about the importance of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but also promoting innovative ideas around sustainability (Owens, 2017). SDGs implementation needs of business actors rethinking their understanding of economic growth, taking into consideration not only economic aspects but also social and ecological concerns (Crespo et a…

Language Development and Symbolic Play in Children With and Without Familial Risk for Dyslexia

2001

The purposes of this study were to investigate (a) whether children in families with a positive history of dyslexia were more likely to show delays in language development than children without family risk and (b) whether a delayed onset of expressive language (late talking) predicted later language development. We analyzed the language development of 200 children longitudinally at 14, 24, 30, and 42 months and assessed their symbolic play at 14 months. Half of the children ( N =106) were from families with a history of dyslexia (the Dyslexia Risk [DR] group), and other children served as age-matched controls. Parental reports and structured tests were used to assess children’s receptive a…

Species-specific sex pheromones secreted from new sexual glands in two sympatric fungus-growing termites from northern Vietnam, Macrotermes annandale…

2004

Reproductive isolation in termites is not well known. Our study carried out on two sympatric species from northern Vietnam, Macrotermes annandalei and M. barneyi, showed that dispersal flights and sex pheromones were two important factors in their reproductive isolation. These fungus-growing termites were isolated, partially due to the timing of their respective dispersal flights. M. annandalei flew the first day after rain, while the flights of M. barneyi occurred the second day after rain. However, the flights can also be simultaneous in the two species. Sex pheromones of M. annandalei and M. barneyi were shown to be species-specific. In both species, they were secreted by females from tw…

Team Coordination in Basketball: Description of the Cognitive Connections Among Teammates

2010

International audience; This study investigated team coordination in basketball using the course-of-action theoretical framework. The focus was on how the players were connected with their teammates' activities. The activity of five French basketball players (17.60 ± .89 years) was studied during an official match. The data were collected and processed according to a procedure defined for course-of-action analysis. The results were used to characterize the coordination modes among players and the team coordination network that was built. The processes that underlie team coordination are discussed (i.e., mutuality and awareness), and some directions for practical applications are addressed.

The Heart of the City: Temporary Experience in Architecture

2022

The rapid and profound transformation to which the city is subjected leads to the urgency of restarting a debate on the relationship between habitat and public space in order to provide the community with answers to guide the choices of future urban transformations and redevelopments. This debate - widely investigated during the second half of the 20th century, with an approach aimed at the potential of public space in terms of connection, interaction and exchange with the community - has given rise to new projects open to the unexpected and capable of triggering creative processes, formal or informal, in urban contexts that are often disused. In the last decades, issues related to social i…

Vuorovaikutusleikkiä ja ryhmätheraplayta päivähoidossa : päiväkotien ja erityispäivähoidon henkilökunnan näkemyksiä ja kokemuksia ohjaamastaan toimin…

2010

Tutkimuksessa kartoitettiin kasvattajien ajatuksia, näkemyksiä ja kokemuksia vuorovaikutusleikki- / ryhmätheraplay-menetelmästä ja sen ohjaamisesta. Samalla selvitettiin menetelmän soveltuvuutta päivähoidon ja erityispäivähoidon henkilöstön käyttöön. Menetelmää ohjattiin päiväkodeissa ja kasvattajat ohjasivat ryhmiä päiväkotien lapsille. Tutkimusongelmat olivat 1) Miten ja miksi menetelmä soveltuu päiväkodin arjessa toteutettavaksi? 2) Miten menetelmää toteutetaan päiväkotien lapsiryhmissä? 3) Minkälaisia kokemuksia kasvattajilla on menetelmän mukaisesta lapsiryhmien ohjaamisesta ja menetelmän käyttöön kouluttautumisesta? Tutkimukseen osallistui 18 päivähoidon ja erityispäivähoidon kasvatta…

Long-term gene expression changes in the cortex following cortical ischemia revealed by transcriptional profiling

2006

Cerebral ischemia evokes changes in gene expression time-dependently after the ischemic event. Most studies on transcriptional changes following ischemia have centered on relatively early postischemic time points, and detected multiple genes relevant to neuronal cell death. However, functional outcome after ischemia depends critically on adaptations of the postischemic brain. Plasticity may derive from network-inherent changes, or from the formation of new nerve cells in the CNS. We have screened for gene expression changes up to 3 weeks following a limited photothrombotic cortical insult in the rat sensorimotor cortex by using the sensitive restriction-mediated differential display (RMDD) …

PGal4 excision reveals the pleiotropic effects of Voila, a Drosophila locus that affects development and courtship behaviour

2001

0016-6723 (Print) Journal Article Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; In Drosophila melanogaster, the PGal4 transposon inserted at the chromosomal site 86E1-2 is associated with the Voila1 allele that causes multiple phenotypes. Homozygous Voila1/1 flies rarely reach adulthood and heterozygous Voila1/+ adult males display strong homosexual courtship behaviour. Both normal behavioural and developmental phenotypes were rescued by remobilizing the PGal4 element. Yet, the rescue of heterosexual courtship and of adult viability did not occur in the same strains, indicating that these defects have different genetic origins. Furthermore, many strains showed a partial rescue of both characters. Molec…
