No de thèse : 3210Les champignons filamenteux forment des réseaux mycéliens complexes et très adaptables capables de répondre dynamiquement à leur environnement. Ces réseaux jouent des rôles écologiques essentiels dans le cycle des nutriments, la décomposition de la matière organique et le maintien de la santé des sols. Des études récentes montrent que les champignons utilisent des mécanismes régulateurs sophistiqués pour optimiser le transport des nutriments et la communication au sein de leurs systèmes hyphaux étendus. Cette thèse explore comment les champignons filamenteux régulent leur mycélium en réponse aux stimuli environnementaux, en se concentrant sur la disponibilité des nutriments, les voies de signalisation électrique et les interactions avec les communautés bactériennes.
À travers une revue exhaustive de la littérature et des méthodologies expérimentales, ce travail examine comment les champignons intègrent des signaux électriques pour coordonner rapidement la distribution des ressources et les réponses structurelles au sein de leurs réseaux. Une attention particulière est portée au concept de signalisation électrique fongique en tant que méthode de communication, soulignant son importance écologique et ses potentielles applications biotechnologiques. De plus, le développement et l'application de plateformes expérimentales innovantes, telles que les Fungal-Potential-Cards, sont présentés afin de démontrer de nouvelles approches pour étudier la signalisation fongique et le comportement du mycélium dans des conditions contrôlées.
Les résultats mettent en avant les implications écologiques et biotechnologiques liées à la compréhension de l'organisation des réseaux fongiques, révélant ainsi des potentiels de développement dans l'agriculture, la gestion environnementale et la bio-ingénierie. En fin de compte, cette thèse contribue à une compréhension approfondie de la biologie fongique, mettant en évidence les capacités sophistiquées des champignons filamenteux en tant qu'organismes intelligents et réactifs au sein de leurs niches écologiques.
ABSTRACT
Filamentous fungi form complex, highly adaptable mycelial networks capable of responding dynamically to their environment. These networks serve crucial ecological roles in nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and maintaining soil health. Recent studies reveal that fungi utilize sophisticated regulatory mechanisms to optimize nutrient transport and communication across their extensive hyphal systems. This thesis explores how filamentous fungi regulate their mycelium in response to environmental stimuli, focusing on nutrient availability, electrical signalling pathways, and interactions with bacterial communities.
Through comprehensive literature review and experimental methodologies, this work examines how fungi integrate electrical signals to rapidly coordinate resource distribution and structural responses within their networks. Special attention is given to the concept of fungal electrical signalling as a communication method, highlighting its ecological significance and potential applications in biotechnology. Additionally, the development and application of innovative experimental platforms, such as the Fungal-Potential-Cards, are presented to demonstrate novel approaches for studying fungal signalling and mycelial behavior in controlled settings.
The findings emphasize the ecological and biotechnological implications of understanding fungal network organization, revealing potential for advancements in agriculture, environmental management, and bioengineering. Ultimately, this thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of fungal biology, highlighting the sophisticated capabilities of filamentous fungi as intelligent and responsive organisms within their ecological niches
La perspective dialogique en psychologie : réflexions méthodologiques
No full textThe Other is within me, speaks through me, I address them and borrow their words—but what are the implications of this psychological reality for our data analyses? The Dialogical Perspective: Methodological Reflections tackles this question by introducing the dialogical approach, inspired by the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, and exploring its methodological consequences for analyzing language-based data in psychology. The book offers twelve concrete examples of its application, alongside two integrative chapters that examine the interplay of ethical, ontological, conceptual, methodological, and analytical issues with goals of intervention and social transformation. Altogether, this volume presents a creative and coherent way of conducting psychological research that is more deeply attuned to the social world—and committed to engaging with it
Notes from Self‑Isolation: Imagination in Times of Ruptures
Get PDFThe Covid-19 pandemic brought about an unprecedented global health crisis, which caused a seismic disruption of people’s lives, their habitual practices, systems of meanings, and relationship to the past and the future. This contribution will explore how a group of 17 participants who wrote a collective diary during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Slovenia (March–May 2020) experienced the crisis as a personal and collective rupture, and what were the functions of the imagination in managing uncertainty, constructing new meanings, and ultimately adapting to the novel situation. Based on the diary data, we find that the global pandemic crisis was experienced as a rupture along four central dimensions: temporality, spatiality, sociality, and embodiment. Drawing on the conceptualisation of the imagination in sociocultural psychology, we have identified the functions of the imagination in different stages of adaptation to the rupture (e.g., experiencing the rupture, meaning-making, distanciation, symbolic mobility, temporal projection), and observed how people use symbolic resources to make sense of the situation, cope with the uncertainty, and construct new imaginings of the future. We thus posit that the imagination plays a central role in repairing ruptures, both in terms of semantic reconfiguration and guiding future-oriented action.tru
The Artificial Eye. Art Theory and the Optical Revolution in Early Modern Europe
No full textEn cours de rédactionWhile it is well-known that the optical revolution completely changed our perception of the world, most notably thanks to the invention of the telescope and the microscope, its importance for the development of art history remains widely underestimated. This project interrogates the changes it produced in the reception of artworks as well as questions its repercussions on the early modern art theory. It allows me, more broadly, to think about the different perceptual regimes that determined the contact to art objects during a period extending from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries

L’expertise privée de l’art. 177 CPC révisé
Get PDFLes auteurs s’intéressent au traitement de l’expertise privée dans le cadre de l’art. 177 CPC révisé, en prenant en compte les enseignements de la jurisprudence actuelle. Ils saluent l’évolution conceptuelle opérée, l’expertise n’étant plus considérée comme un «simple allégué de partie», mais bien comme un «document propre à prouver des faits pertinents». L’expertise privée a désormais un statut clair, ce qui permet une approche centrée sur sa force probante et la libre appréciation du juge face aux preuves administrées
