Perceived Inclusion at Work: A Key Element in the Relationship between Social Cohesion at Work, Job Self-efficacy and Adjustment to the Way of Working in the New Normal
No full textInternational audienceThis study aims at investigating a serial mediation model of work adjustment in the New Normal. A convenience sample of 313 French employees working in three different ways (onsite and partially or fully remotely) filled an online self-report questionnaire. The hypotheses were tested using regression analyses and a serial mediation analysis with bootstrapping. Results indicated that social cohesion, perceived inclusion and self-efficacy in the work context were directly related to the adjustment to the way of working. Furthermore, social cohesion at work was indirectly associated with the adjustment to the way of working through the subsequent mediation first of perception of inclusion at work, and then of job self-efficacy. This study highlights the role of several factors of the work environment, relational and personal, which favor work adjustment. In particular, this study underlines the role of perceived inclusion at work, a basic need of human beings, which, favored by social cohesion at work, and through the increase of the feeling of job self-efficacy, participates, as a key element, to the process of people’s adjustment to the different ways of working. Implications for theory and practice are discussed

Current Directions in Managing Invasive Lionfish Populations to Protect Reef Biodiversity
Full text linkInvasive lionfish pose a significant threat to reef biodiversity in coastal Atlantic regions through their aggressive feeding habits, lack of predators, and overall hardiness in a wide range of climactic conditions. Their impact has resulted in targeted human efforts to manage and reduce invasive populations where possible. It is important to identify the current methods being employed such as manual culling and traps and analyze their strengths and weaknesses. Additionally looking at non-human interactions between lionfish and their ecosystems and how they’ve developed may influence how management is approach, such as the effects of grouper non-consumptive pressures. By learning from relevant approaches we can look towards integrating them into a holistic plan that targets lionfish at multiple levels from multiple angles and formulate incentives to gather greater support from organizations and people to participate in preserving reef biodiversity through economically and environmentally feasible options
Mallarmé, Gauguin : « l'explication orphique de la terre »
No full textInternational audiencePartant de la relation que nouent, plus étroitement qu’on ne l’a dit, Mallarmé et Gauguin, lors des mardis de la rue de Rome et dans le dialogue plus secret de leurs œuvres, cette étude montre comment Gauguin transpose en peinture la pensée de Mallarmé faisant du Livre « une explication orphique de la Terre », en repliant les théologies des anciens cultes sur celle, immanente, des Lettres et du Mythe, compris comme le foyer d’une anthropologie profane du Sacré
Femmes chez les Nabis : de fil en aiguille, catalogue d'exposition, Musée de Pont-Aven, juin-novembre 2024
No full textInternational audienceA la fin du XIXe siècle, le groupe des Nabis (prophètes en hébreu) forme une confrérie de jeunes artistes audacieux animée d’une même communauté de pensée et admirative de l’œuvre de Gauguin. L’exposition propose de dévoiler une autre facette du groupe réunissant Sérusier, Denis, Vuillard, Bonnard, Vallotton, Ranson, Lacombe… En les étudiant par l’intermédiaire de leurs épouses, amantes, mères, belles-mères. Cet entourage peuplé de femmes se veut un point d’entrée pour regarder finement les conditions de réalisation, les logiques d’influences et les processus de création à l’œuvre chez les Nabis. Alors que ces femmes remplissent majoritairement les rôles conventionnels d’hôtesses d’accueil, maîtresses de maison et gardiennes de la vie familiale, certaines se distinguent par leur contribution artistique concrète dans un système où prime toutefois une division sexuée des rôles : aux hommes reviennent l’invention du sujet et son exécution graphique première, aux femmes est confié le tissage. De leur place dans le couple, où la frontière entre compagnes, modèles et assistantes reste ténue, aux rôles dans le foyer, entre travaux d’aiguille et mise en scène de la vie domestique, l’exposition tire le fil de l’intimité dans la création artistique. Environ 80 œuvres présentent l’esthétique nabie ouverte au décloisonnement des arts et des médiums (peintures, sculptures, mais aussi photographies, objets d’arts décoratifs, mobilier et textiles…).Cette exposition bénéficie du partenariat exceptionnel du musée d’Orsay

From single to multiple habitat connectivity: The key role of composite ecological networks for amphibian conservation and habitat restoration
No full textInternational audienceMany graph-based studies consider just one habitat type (breeding habitat) and one ecological process (dispersal) when measuring connectivity. However, in the course of their life cycle, some species use different habitats and are particularly sensitive to their spatial arrangement. We propose a new graph modeling approach that considers heterogeneous habitats and movements when assessing connectivity. Our hypothesis is that a multiple habitat approach is more relevant than a single habitat approach for studying the relationships between connectivity and composite habitat species occurrence. We constructed a bipartite graph with separate categories of nodes for aquatic and terrestrial habitats and an inter-habitat link set. Different connectivity values were measured from the graph depending on the ecological process under study. We then compared our models against field observation data for amphibian communities and tested whether multiple habitat connectivity models provide better predictions. Multiple habitat connectivity was as effective as single habitat connectivity, and often more so, in explaining the presence, abundance, and species richness of amphibian communities. Application to habitat restoration revealed that connectivity gains vary greatly depending on the ecological process, emphasizing the importance of links connecting habitats of different types. Multiple habitat graphs appear promising for incorporating habitat and movement heterogeneity into ecological network modeling. We encourage further theoretical and empirical work on multiple habitat connectivity to consolidate the results and evaluate its full potential, especially for global change issues
