Antibiotics and food in the American press

2021

AbstractThe emergence of antimicrobial resistant infections from food is well documented in the scientific literature but, in this kind of matter, the public opinion is an important policy driver and is vastly forged by traditional media. Here, we propose a text mining study through about 500 articles from two reference daily U.S. newspapers to assess the media coverage of this issue. Our results indicate that, since the middle of the 80s, the two journals considered here adopted a very different narrative around the issue, echoing civil society concerns in one case and the official discourse in the other.

2018

Spanish Abstract: La sociedad actual encuentra en los momentos en que vivimos un complejo, inquietante y paradojicamente contradictorio paisaje penal, en el que una imparable y abracadabrante produccion legislativa nos invade, en el que la esquizofrenia entre la proclamada ultima ratio del Derecho Penal y la expansion masiva del mismo se hace presente como eje central de las reformas legales, y en el que la tension entre la tutela y proteccion del ciudadano y una sobredimensionada busqueda de la “seguridad” –para la sociedad- encuentra su acomodo perfecto en sede penal. Los cambios, los bienes juridicos protegidos, el imparable aumento en calidad y cantidad de la criminalidad y la regresion…

A Proposal for an Automatic Stabilizer in Social Justice

2019

Abstract Generally, social justice has two sides which are intercorrelated and inter-dependend: a) constitutive social justice (for example, the so called commutative social justice); b) regulative social justice (for example, the so called distributive social justice). The paper approaches the regulative social justice, more exactly, an automatic mechanism to get it. To this end, an automatic stabilizer to provide distributive social justice, according to the Rawlsian principle of difference. Such an automatic stabilizer is grounded on the wealth, more precise, on the share of the wealth which is not invested in order to benefit to the more disadvantaged class of the society. Paper does no…

CONCEPTS IN BIOLOGY

2014

Professor Henry C. Rebsamen, General Director of Normal Education, as proof of his great efforts for the advancement of the youth education, started the class in Concepts in Biology, doing us the honor of proposing a class in this interesting subject, and obtaining from the Ministry of Justice and Public Instruction their gracious respective appointment.

Overlapping self-affine sets of Kakeya type

2009

We compute the Minkowski dimension for a family of self-affine sets on the plane. Our result holds for every (rather than generic) set in the class. Moreover, we exhibit explicit open subsets of this class where we allow overlapping, and do not impose any conditions on the norms of the linear maps. The family under consideration was inspired by the theory of Kakeya sets.

A two-phase problem with Robin conditions on the free boundary

2020

We study for the first time a two-phase free boundary problem in which the solution satisfies a Robin boundary condition. We consider the case in which the solution is continuous across the free boundary and we prove an existence and a regularity result for minimizers of the associated variational problem. Finally, in the appendix, we give an example of a class of Steiner symmetric minimizers. peerReviewed

La dynamique des scolarités des filles : le double handicap questionné

2001

Marie Duru-Bellat, Annick Kieffer, Catherine Marry : Die Dynamik der Schullaufbahn der Mädchen : die Befragung des Doppelhindernisses. Dieser Aufsatz zeichnet die Entwicklung der geschlechtlichen und sozialen Unterschiede in der Schule seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts auf, im Lichte des schulischen und wirtschaftlichen Felds. Er stützt sich auf die Daten der Untersuchungen Formation-Qualification Professionnelle des statistischen Amts INSEE. Die Geschichte der Schullaufbahnen der Jungen und Mädchen ist die der Aufholung durch die Mädchen, und schliesslich der Umkehr zu ihren Gunsten der Ungleichheiten zum Eintritt in die verschiedenen Stufen des ersten und zweiten Zyklus des höheren Schulwe…

Invariant deformation theory of affine schemes with reductive group action

2015

We develop an invariant deformation theory, in a form accessible to practice, for affine schemes $W$ equipped with an action of a reductive algebraic group $G$. Given the defining equations of a $G$-invariant subscheme $X \subset W$, we device an algorithm to compute the universal deformation of $X$ in terms of generators and relations up to a given order. In many situations, our algorithm even computes an algebraization of the universal deformation. As an application, we determine new families of examples of the invariant Hilbert scheme of Alexeev and Brion, where $G$ is a classical group acting on a classical representation, and describe their singularities.
