Preface for Marcel Waldinger special issue on premature ejaculation
No full textThe world lost a very dear and brilliant man when Prof Dr Marcel Waldinger passed away this year. I am proud that I got to know him well, and had the chance to learn a lot from him as a scientist. He was passionate about his work related to men and womens sexual dysfunctions, with a special focus on PE, postorgasm illness syndrome, and persistent sexual arousal syndrome
Time Will Tell: Genetic Influences on Ejaculation Time
No full textLifelong premature ejaculation (PE) is a male sexual disorder characterized by persistent short ejaculation times of less than about 1 minute, in more than 90% of intercourses, with nearly every female partner, since the first sexual activities of a man in puberty or adolescence (Waldinger 2007). In about 30% of these men, ejaculation becomes even more faster at the age of 30-35 years (Waldinger 2007). In the 1990s, it has been hypothesised that the short ejaculation time, e.g., the intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) which is the time between intravaginal penetration and the moment of intravaginal ejaculation, is associated with a diminished central serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) neurotransmission, a hyperfunction of 5-HT1A receptors, a hypofunction of 5-HT2C receptors and genetic influences (Waldinger et al, 1998) The aim of the thesis was to study the role of serotonergic gene polymorphisms in men with lifelong premature ejaculation (PE) with regard to the duration of their IELT. The duration of the IELT was investigated with a stopwatch that had to be handled by the female partner of the male. After instruction on how to use the stopwatch during intercourse, the IELT was measured at home in a one month baseline period and during a period of daily paroxetine treatment, which is known for its ejaculation delaying effects. In addition, we investigated whether the duration of daily paroxetine treatment-induced ejaculation delay was associated with polymorphism of the 5-HT transporter gene, polymorphisms of the 5-HT1A receptor gene, and the 5-HT2C receptor gene. In addition, it was investigated whether paroxetine-induced ejaculation delay is associated with polymorphism of the 5-HT transporter gene. Another point of investigation was whether in men with lifelong PE response and non-response to paroxetine treatment was associated with paroxetine serum concentration, CYP2D6 genotype, and a number of other factors, such as an intact hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal axis, thyroid function and serum leptin levels. Finally, we analyzed the methodology and design of six studies that were published in recent years on 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and premature ejaculation
CAPRI versus AGLINK-COSIMO: Two partial equilibrium models - Two baseline approaches
No full textThe agricultural modelling world has generated several models aiming at the analysis of the response of the sector to certain changes in exogenous mainly policy variables. Among those, the CAPRI modelling system developed by a consortium centred on the University of Bonn and the AGLINK-COSIMO model, a joint product of the OECD and the FAO, are well known and accepted as comprehensive tools. This analysis focuses on a qualitative comparison of both models and particularly on the process of setting up the baseline. The baseline is a medium-term projection of agricultural markets reflecting current policies and those already decided upon. This projection in turn serves as the base for comparisons when analyzing scenarios. It is shown that CAPRI uses generic and automatic procedures whenever possible for conducting the database and the baseline, while AGLINK-COSIMO puts more emphasis on expert knowledge in this process. Both approaches are shown to have certain advantages while the conclusion that a combination of them would potentially improve both models will be drawn from this analysis.CAPRI, AGLINK-COSIMO, Baseline process, Agricultural and Food Policy,

Ruskin traduzido: Sesame and Lilies por Proust e Catalán
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2009.Este trabalho parte da análise das traduções da obra Sesame and Lilies, de John Ruskin, para o francês e para o castelhano para fazer um exame de questões ligadas ao gênero ensaístico, à tradução de ensaios e à autoria. Para isso, analisarei a tradução de Marcel Proust para o francês e seu paratexto e a tradução para o castelhano feita por Miguel Catalán e o respectivo paratexto.This study analises the translations of Sesame and Lilies, by John Ruskin, into French and Spanish in order to examine issues related to the essay as a literary genre, to the translation of essays and to authorship. This exam will be carried out by analising the translation into French by Marcel Proust and its paratext and the translation into Spanish by Miguel Catalán, accompanied by its paratext
Jean-Marcel Jeanneney à l'OFCE - Fondations et contributions (1981-1989).
No full textJean-Marcel Jeanneney était un économiste rare, à la fois théoricien, empiriste et praticien. C’est son aventure à la tête de l’OFCE que ce livre raconte, ou plutôt qu’il laisse l’auteur lui-même conter au travers d’articles écrits depuis le premier jour de son premier mandat de Président de notre institution. Ce recueil s’ouvre sur une introduction qui rappelle l'attachement du fondateur de l’OFCE au « libéralisme intellectuel», cette indépendance vis-à-vis des idées reçues qu’il jugeait indispensable à la conduite de politiques publiques raisonnables. Il est ensuite structuré en trois parties dont les titres font écho à une oe uvre marquante de Jean-Marcel Jeanneney : Vouloir le débat public en économie, Une mémoire au service de la prospective et Écoute le monde qui vient : intégration globale et unification européenne. Ce volume est un hommage à la mémoire de Jean-Marcel Jeanneney mais plus encore à sa présence. Les textes rassemblés ici par Jean-Paul Fitoussi et Éloi Laurent nous rappellent l’actualité des enseignements les plus précieux de Jean-Marcel Jeanneney : honnêteté, courage et espérance.

Marcel Schwob Digital Collection
No full textThis project outlines the discovery and digitization of previously unpublished correspondence composed by late 19th century author and literary critic, Marcel Schwob. Inspired by the inquiry of Bibliothèque Nationale Librarian Bernard Gauthier, Professor Daryl Lee alerted me to the presence of Marcel Schwob materials at BYU. I found that former BYU Professor John Green established a Marcel Schwob Memorial Collection and successfully published two books using the materials he gathered: Chroniques and Correspondance Inédite. After thoroughly researching the catalogued Schwob materials at BYU and comparing the contents to other Schwob publications, I found 72 previously unpublished letters. The majority of the letters (62) were written by Schwob to family members, and the remaining 9 letters were written to Schwob by colleagues. International interest in Marcel Schwob materials is one of many indicators representing renewed interest in the author, his work, and his influence. Recent publications also reflect growing Schwob interest. In Marcel Schwob, d\u27hier et d\u27aujourd\u27hui (2002), Christian Berg and Yves Vadé shed new light on Schwob through the observations of his contemporaries and modern-day essays on the importance of his contes. In addition, Jean Lorrain: Lettres à Marcel Schwob (2006) furthers the effort to better understand Schwob through a collection of correspondence. In light of this renewed interest, I determined that the previously unpublished correspondence would serve as a useful research tool for Schwob scholars. With the guidance and assistance of employees at the Harold B. Lee Library, I subsequently converted the correspondence into a digital publication. Creating a digital publication is a multifaceted undertaking requiring the involvement and expertise of different individuals and library departments. I successfully learned how to use both the hardware and software involved in the digitization process, thereby facilitating my completion of project deliverables, including: scanning and transcribing the letters; writing letter summaries (in both French and English), extracting names, and completing other metadata; uploading metadata using the Lee Library\u27s external database; establishing authority control records; writing website content (in both French and English), and publicizing the project. This document contains the major deliverables found in the digital publication, specifically the website content, the letter transcriptions, and the metadata
