    No full text
    Dataset and omic data from Thesis entitled: The Effect of High-Fat Diet During Mouse Preimplantation and Pregnancy-Lactation on Uterine Fluid Protein Composition, Maternal Metabolism and Offspring Health. Author: Irene Peral-Sanchez The added dataset included raw data generated from the period from Oct 2019 to December 2023. As explained in the thesis, the data were analyzed using SPSS syntax (hierarchical model) and Prism. The omics data (RNA seq and Proteomics) were additionally studied by String and Gene Ontology, apart from R (collaborators).

    ‘Sandrine Bonnaire regained’: space and mobility in Sans toit ni loi and Prendre le large.

    No full text
    This article considers the parallels that can be drawn between two characters portrayed by Sandrine Bonnaire at distinct junctures in her film career: Mona, a young homeless woman whose wanderings are recounted retrospectively after her frozen corpse is discovered at the start of Agnès Varda’s Sans toit ni loi/Vagabond (1985), and Édith, a middle-aged woman who relocates to Morocco to keep her job with an offshored French textile factory in Gaël Morel’s Prendre le large/Catch the Wind (2017). The author first considers Mona and Édith in the context of a stasis-mobility dynamic identified as central to both films, subsequently reflects on the political implications of their mobility and finally considers a more proximate notion of space, with reference to the theory of haptic visuality explored by Laura Marks (2000). Prendre le large illustrates the limits of the palimpsestic star image and, in counterpoint, the recuperative possibilities of a film depicting an immersive encounter with a foreign space. The article aims to demonstrate how the quite specific questions of labour and relocation broached in these films point to broader existential issues pertaining to identity and movement, as well as to consider what the two films, in dialogue with each other, might add to current debates around precarity in contemporary cinema

    Can Positional Concerns Enhance the Private provision of Public Goods?

    No full text
    The social welfare effect of positional concerns over public goods is composed of two parts, a positional outcome and an outcome in terms of public goods provision. When agents have homogenous positional preferences over the public good, they overinvest in the positional public good, resulting in a zero-sum positional race with a higher provision of the public good. When agents differ in their positional preferences, the overall impact on social welfare is positive when endowments are homogenous and uncertain when endowments are heterogeneous. Given that the social loss from position-seeking is lower than the social gain from rank seeking, there is an increase of social welfare. If agents have different initial endowments, positional preferences might still be welfare enhancing as long as the positional loss does not exceed the gain in terms of public good provision.

    The spatial dimension in stage writing : the scenographic architecture resulting from the compositions of the author-director Joël Pommerat (compagnie Louis Brouillard)

    No full text
    Le répertoire théâtral provient de divers modes de pratiques. Le plus souvent, il émane de textes d’auteurs appliqués à leur table dont se saisissent des metteurs en scène pour les monter. Il arrive aussi parfois que l’écriture provienne directement du travail réalisé avec les comédiens, ce que l’on appelle communément « écritures de plateau ». Elle ne suit pas le même processus de conception du spectacle, puisque le texte est l’aboutissement et non l’impulsion première. Dès lors, l’espace de jeu, la scénographie et toutes ses composantes sont élaborés dans un autre ordre que le système conventionnel. En prenant le cas de l’auteur-metteur en scène Joël Pommerat (compagnie Louis Brouillard), notre recherche souhaite mettre en lumière les enjeux d’une telle démarche. En le confrontant à d’autres pratiques, proches ou éloignées, le propos est de comprendre la manière dont les spatialités de ses pièces adviennent au plateau, les méthodes, les techniques ainsi que les outils déployés au fil de l’exploration sur scène, pour aboutir à un dispositif au service du texte. Puisant à l’origine de la genèse de cette compagnie, en 1990, et jusqu’à nos jours, l’enquête menée prend appui sur des écrits de différentes natures et de disciplines diverses, des archives plurielles, des témoignages directement recueillis ainsi que des expériences personnelles afin de décrypter, par phases successives, le cheminement de pensée de cet « écrivain de spectacle ». Plus généralement, l’objet de cette étude est envisagé comme un territoire de rencontre entre l’architecture théâtrale et la scénographie, entre le pérenne et l’éphémère, une zone trouble, encore trop peu étudiée.The theatrical repertoire comes from various modes of practice. Most often, it emanates from authors' texts writing to their table, which directors use to stage them. Sometimes the writing also comes directly from the work done with the actors, which is commonly called 'stage writing' [“écritures de plateau”]. This does not follow the same process of conception of the show, since the text is the result and not the initial impulse. Therefore, the performance space, the set design and all its components are developed in a different order than the conventional system. By taking the case of the author-director Joël Pommerat (compagnie Louis Brouillard), our research aims to shed light on the challenges of such an approach. By confronting him with other practices, both close and distant, the aim is to understand the way in which the spatialities of his plays come to the stage, the methods, techniques and tools deployed in the course of the exploration on stage, to end up with a device at the service of the text. Drawing on the origins of the company's genesis, in 1990, until today, the investigation is based on writings of various kinds and disciplines, multiple archives, directly collected testimonies as well as personal experiences in order to decipher, in successive phases, the thought process of this "writer of spectacle" [“écrivain de spectacles”]. More generally, the object of this study is envisaged as a territory of encounter between theatrical architecture and scenography, between the perennial and the ephemeral, a troubled and under-researched zone

    Stylistic techniques and ethical staging in Otavia Butler's 'Speech Sounds'

    No full text
    International audienceOctavia Butler's short Story « Speech Sounds » does not depict an encounter with alien beings on unknown territories. It is humanity as we know it that the author defamiliarises for us: in this post-apocalyptic world, a virus has deprived humans of their ability to speak and read, bringing the species back to prelinguistic animality, with some individuals like Rye and Obsidian trying to resist the inevitable regression. Using human language to depict wordless humanity runs the risk of implausibility. Yet we will show how Butler manages to make us forget the predicament. Drawing on Text World Theory and cognitive stylistics, we will see to what extent Butler's dystopia can be said to be based on metonymic cognitive processes which are a characteristic of the genre (Stockwell 2000). There are ethical implications to language loss that “Speech Sounds” implicitly highlights: in the absence of what makes ethical social life possible, not only has the socio-economic superstructure collapsed on itself, but ethical care for the other has been replaced by violence and indifference

    Increasing the forecasting lead-time of Weather Driven Flash-floods

    No full text
    In the first section we define the problem of flash-flood forecasting and we list the main scientific issues that need to be addressed. In the second section we briefly describe the previous European programmes devoted to flash flood. The dispersion of the efforts within programmes that were not only concerned by flash flood lead to the difficulty to highlight major results. Suggestions for future improvements in flash flood risk reduction are then proposed through research proposals and possible actions at European level.Floodsit
