Modern (forensic) mummies: A study of twenty cases
Auteurs : Céline Leccia,Véronique Alunni,Gérald Quatrehomme
Revue : Forensic Science International
Éditeur : Elsevier
Année : 2018

Twenty mummies discovered in a forensic context between 2002 and 2016 were compiled in this work. 15 cases were excluded and 15 cases of forensic mummies were found in the literature. In the current work the percentage of mummification was calculated by "the rule of nines" used for describing burned injuries in livings. Dry and hot environments\, emaciation\, little access to flies are favorable conditions for mummification. Nevertheless mummification was also observed in other cold and humid environments. Extensive mummification (defined in this work as "at least 50% of mummification of the body skin) has occurred in as little as three weeks in the current series. The post mortem interval was estimated by indirect clues. The cause of death was usually impossible to establish.
« Le roi et la reine font compte à part. Marguerite de Provence et la séparation des comptes royaux de l’Hôtel (1261) »
The king and queen of France keep separate accounts: Marguerite de Provence\, finances and the separation of royal residences (1261)
Auteurs : Audrey Duchatel

Éditeur : Belin
Année : 2022

Le roi et la reine de France font compte à part : si la séparation du roi et de la reine comme mode habituel de vie de couple princier est bien actée à la fin du Moyen Âge\, qu’en était-il au xiiie siècle\, c’est-à-dire au moment de l’émergence de l’hôtel réginal ? Si la question des institutions et de l’entourage royaux a fait l’objet d’une attention renouvelée ces dernières années elle n’a pas vraiment concerné l’hôtel de la reine. Pourtant la naissance de cet hôtel dans le royaume de France est peut-être à replacer dans un contexte bien plus politique que les historiens ne le laissaient à penser. En effet\, l’étude de la personnalité de Marguerite de Provence (1221-1295) mérite de soulever d’intéressants questionnements en lien avec cette thématique. Il s’agit également d’élaborer une réflexion sur la chronologie de l’apparition institutionnelle de l’hôtel réginal\, indépendamment de celui du roi\, et de montrer que Marguerite de Provence est probablement la première reine en Occident à en posséder un.

High Growth Firms and Technological Knowledge: Do gazelles follow exploration or exploitation strategies?
Auteurs : Alessandra Colombelli,Jackie Krafft,Francesco Quatraro

Année : 2014

This paper analyzes the contribution of high-growth firms to the process of knowledge creation. We articulate a demand-pull innovation framework in which knowledge creation is driven by sales growth\, and knowledge stems from creative recombination. Given the established literature on high growth firms and economic growth\, we wonder whether gazelles follow patterns of knowledge creation mostly dominated by exploration or exploitation strategies. To this purpose\, we derive indicators able to describe the structure of knowledge and qualify firms' innovation strategies. The empirical results suggest that the reality is richer than the interpretative frameworks. Increasing growth rates are indeed associated to exploration strategies\, supporting the idea that high growth firms are key actors in the creation of new technological knowledge. But in the meantime\, firms showing growth rates significantly higher than the average are able to command the exploration strategies by constraining them within the boundaries of familiar technological competences\, suggesting that the exploration process is less random than anticipated. We end up with the result that high growth firms\, and especially gazelles\, follow predominantly an exploration strategy\, but with the characteristics of an organized search which is often more observed in an exploitation strategy.

Il est élaboré à partir des expériences observées dans les régions rurales de pays d’Afrique de l’Est dans lesquelles les services de paiement mobile se sont développés rapidement. Avec un modèle dynamique simple qui rationalise l’adoption des services mobiles de paiement distants\, nous analysons le rôle des opérateurs téléphoniques dans l’inclusion financière. Nous soulignons l’intérêt d’une offre diversifiée de services m-paiement incluant une solution simplifiée proposée par l’opérateur seul\, et des services plus élaborés associant un partenaire financier. Nous expliquons comment une telle offre diversifiée\, et notamment la présence en son sein d’une innovation « frugale »\, peut améliorer l’inclusion financière susceptible d’être obtenue sur la base de la seule formule plus avancée\, offerte en collaboration par un opérateur et une banque.,This paper analyzes the capacity of mobile-payment solutions to improve financial inclusion in developing countries. It elaborates from rural East African countries experiences where mobile payment services have developed rapidly. With a simple dynamic model which rationalizes traders’ adoption process of distant mobile payment services\, we analyze the role of telephonic operators in financial inclusion. We point out the interest of a diversified supply of m-payment services\, including simplified solutions proposed by operators alone\, in complement of more advanced services involving financial partners. We explain how such a diversified supply\, including a “frugal” innovative component\, can be more efficient to improve financial inclusion than the only elaborated solutions provided cooperatively by operators and banks
Intentional Apple-Choice Behaviors: When Amartya Sen Meets John Searle

Année : 2013

This paper suggests that amartya sen's con- ception of rationality could benefit from insights borrowed to john searle's philoso- phy of mind. more precisely i argue that the work of searle on intentionality provides a relevant conceptual apparatus to strengthen sen's conceptualization of context-depend- ent preferences in a way that suggests further analytical contributions to the latter's line of research. The arguments developed in the paper are relevant for three interrelated issues on economic rationality that are currently discussed in economic methodology: (1) methodological dualism and intentionalitic explanations in economics\, (2) the relation- ships between economics and philosophy\, and (3) the recent rise of behavioral eco- nomics within the mainstream of economic theory.
Theory and evidence in psychology and economics about motivation crowding out: A possible convergence?
Auteurs : Agnès Festré,Pierre Garrouste
Revue : Journal of Economic Surveys
Éditeur : Wiley
Année : 2015

The empirical relevance of motivation crowding out is a controversial issue in economics and psychology. As already pointed out by Frey and Jegen (2001)\, this is partly due to the historical development of two distinct and parallel strands of literature that stem from different theoretical traditions\, have radically different tenets and therefore\, are difficult to reconcile. In this survey\, we go back to the details of the debates that took place independently among psychologists and economists\, and sketch an integrative interdisciplinary approach likely to favor a more fruitful collaboration between economics and psychology. From this perspective\, experimental economics (both field and laboratory) is viewed as a major research field shedding new light on the conditions of relevance of motivation crowding out.
Knowledge characteristics and the dynamics of technological alliances in Pharmaceuticals: Empirical evidence from Europe\, US and Japan

Année : 2014

The paper investigates the co-evolutionary patterns of the dynamics of technological alliances and of the structure of the knowledge base in the pharmaceutical sector. The main hypothesis under scrutiny is that technological alliances represent a key resource for firms in knowledge intensive sectors to cope with dramatic changes in the knowledge base\, marked by the introduction of discontinuities opening up new technological trajectories. Using patent information and data on technological alliances drawn from the CATI-MERIT database\, we compare the evidence concerning the so-called triad regions\, i.e. United States\, Europe and Japan. The empirical results support the existence of a life cycle in biotechnology affecting the pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore\, the dynamics of alliances is found to depend on (i) the phase of the biotechnology life cycle\, (ii) the strength of the region in biotechnology and (iii) the general features of the economic environment of the region.

Cet article présente les datations 14C AMS obtenues dans la séquence sédimentaire du lac d’Allos (alt. 2 230 m\, vallée du Verdon\, Alpes du Sud\, France). Ces données contribuent à la connaissance de la chronologie de la déglaciation à l’échelle des Alpes du Sud et permettent de revoir le cadre chronologique proposé antérieurement sur ce site. La sédimentation lacustre démarre entre 12 300 et 13 500 ans cal. BP (2 sigmas). Les deux stades glaciaires identifiés en aval du lac à 1 900 m et sur le verrou glaciaire à 2 300 m sont par conséquent plus anciens. Nous rejoignons ici les conclusions des travaux antérieurs sur les tourbières et lacs d’altitude qui\, sur la base des données polliniques\, suggéraient une déglaciation très précoce remontant au début du Tardiglaciaire.,This study presents new 14C AMS ages obtained from the sedimentary sequence of Lake Allos (elevation: 2\,230 m\, Verdon valley\, Southern Alps\, France). These ages provide new evidence on the last deglaciation over the Southern Alps\, enabling us to revise the chronological framework previously established. Sedimentation in the lake began between 12\,300 and 13\,500 cal. yr BP (2 sigma interval). The two glacial stages identified in a cirque downstream of Lake Allos (at 1\,900 m a.s.l.) and on the glacial threshold (at 2\,300 m a.s.l.) are hence older. Our results are in good agreement with previous conclusions based on palynological evidence from high-elevations peat bogs and lakes that suggested an earlier deglaciation\, at the onset of the Lateglacial.

Inappropriate Choice of Definites in Turkish Heritage Speakers of German

Année : 2019

The appropriate use of (in-)definites can be notoriously difficult for language learners to acquire\, suggesting that this linguistic domain is particularly prone to instability in language acquisition. The current study investigates whether heritage speakers also have difficulties in this domain. We report the results from a questionnaire study investigating heritage speakers' sensitivity to contextual cues to the appropriate use of (in-)definites both in their native language (Turkish) and in their second\, societally dominant language (German). The results show that Turkish heritage speakers over-use definite noun phrases in contexts that normally require an indefinite noun phrase in both Turkish and German\, in comparison to non-bilingual Turkish and German-speaking controls. This indicates that sensitivity to pragmatic constraints on the use of (in-)definites are generally reduced in languages that were acquired under conditions that differ from those of typical monolingually raised speakers\, regardless of the age at which these languages were acquired or how definiteness is expressed morphosyntactically. Instead\, our heritage speakers' daily use of Turkish proved to be the strongest predictor for their performance. Together\, our findings indicate divergent attainment in both of our heritage speakers' languages\, with pragmatic constraints on the use of (in-) definites being weakened in both Turkish and German.
Exploring Crosslinguistic Influence in Gender Marking in Spanish

Année : 2021

Abstract In the current study\, we examined the role of first-language (L1) influence on the additional-language development of grammatical gender marking in Spanish. The participants were L1 speakers of English or French ( N = 215)\, who were learning Spanish and who were at three instructional levels. The data came from their use of gender marking in noun-modifier pairs in an argumentative essay. We adopted the unified methodological framework developed by Scott Jarvis and we applied insights from variationist second language acquisition to contribute to the discussion about whether learners’ L1 impacts variability in targetlike gender marking in additional-language Spanish. Specifically\, we designed our study to investigate four types of evidence that Jarvis identified (intragroup homogeneity\, intergroup heterogeneity\, cross-language congruity\, and intralingual contrasts)\, and we used variationist methods to account for other factors that are known to impact variable use of gender marking. The quantitative analyses supported each type of evidence\, consequently demonstrating that these learners’ L1 influenced their variable use of gender marking in Spanish. We concluded by reflecting on the contributions that the current study has made to the understanding of gender marking in additional-language Spanish and to research on L1 influence more generally.
Mood induction in children: Effect of the affective valence of a text on phonological working memory

Année : 2014

The influence of mood on working memory capacity has been investigated in adults\, albeit with conflicting results\, but remains relatively unexplored in children. The present study examined the effect of a mood induction procedure on phonological working memory capacity in fourth and fifth graders. An initial working memory span test was followed first by a collective mood induction procedure\, then by a second working memory span test. Results showed an effect of mood induction procedure on phonological working memory performances\, with decreasing scores in the case of negative mood. These results suggest that\, in certain contexts and situations\, negative emotion has an impact on children's cognitive abilities.

Explaining variation in wh-position in child French: A statistical analysis of new seminaturalistic data

Année : 2019

The two possible positions for wh-words (i.e.\, in situ or preposed) represent a long-standing area of research in French. The present study reports on statistical analyses of a new seminaturalistic corpus of child L1 French. The distribution of the wh-words is examined in relation to a new verb tripartition: Free be forms\, the Fixed be form c’est ‘it is’\, and Other Verbs. Results indicate that a discriminating variable is verb form (i.e.\, Free vs. Fixed)\, regardless of verb type (i.e.\, be vs. Other Verbs)\, and that there is a correlation between the wh-in-situ position and the Fixed be form. The Fixed be form is thus identified as the component that leads to wh-in-situ utterances\, in contrast to other languages such as English. Overuse of the Fixed be form in child speech could also account for the predominance of wh-in-situ in child object questions compared to adjunct questions and child wh-questions in general compared to adult questions
Intelligence économique : vers une nouvelle dynamique de recherche

Bien que médiatique\, l’intelligence économique reste une dynamique difficile à saisir. Son impossible définition est consubstantielle à son caractère syncrétique. S’appuyant\, en France\, sur une culture du renseignement mal comprise\, elle inquiète autant qu’elle rassure. Pourtant jugée indispensable\, elle a été élevée au rang de politique publique et se développe\, lentement mais sûrement\, au sein des entreprises. Dynamique à la recherche de ses concepts opératoires\, l’intelligence économique s’appuie sur des méthodologies issues du terrain qui demandent une assise théorique forte. À travers le couple agilité/paralysie\, l’intelligence doit être analysée comme un avantage relatif. Pour y être opératoire\, le concept d’information doit être compris et utilisé dans un cadre plus systémique qui le relie à l’action via la connaissance : c’est le passage du « savoir pour agir » au « connaître est agir ». En éveil permanent et tourné vers l’analyse\, un dispositif d’intelligence économique mettra alors idéalement en œuvre une communauté stratégique de connaissance dans laquelle la communication apparaît comme centrale.,In spite of its media coverage\, Competitive Intelligence remains a hard-to-grasp process. Its impossible defining is coexistent with its syncretic nature. As it bases itself on the misunderstood culture of intelligence\, it is\, as a consequence\, a source of both worry and reassurance in France. It has nevertheless been judged mandatory\, has been elevated to the rank of public policy and is now being developed within firms\, slowly but surely. Constantly on the lookout for new operating concepts\, Competitive Intelligence is established on field-based methodologies that require strong theoretical foundations. It has to be analyzed as a relative advantage through a model of both agility and paralysis. In order for it to operate\, the intelligence concept must be understood and used in a more systemic frame which would link it with action through knowledge : it is a passage from noticing to sensemaking. An ever-working Competitive Intelligence system\, focusing on analysis\, will therefore put into motion a strategic community of knowledge wherein communication will appear as the centre of attention.

What are the long-term consequences of invasive species? After invasion\, how long do ecosystems require to reach a new equilibrium? Answering these questions requires long-term\, high-resolution data that are vanishingly rare. We combined the analysis of environmental DNA extracted from a lake sediment core\, coprophilous fungi\, and sedimentological analyses to reconstruct 600 years of ecosystem dynamics on a sub-Antarctic island and to identify the impact of invasive rabbits. Plant communities remained stable from AD 1400 until the 1940s\, when the DNA of invasive rabbits was detected in sediments. Rabbit detection corresponded to abrupt changes of plant communities\, with a continuous decline of a dominant plant species. Furthermore\, erosion rate abruptly increased with rabbit abundance. Rabbit impacts were very fast and were stronger than the effects of climate change during the 20th century. Lake sediments can allow an integrated temporal analysis of ecosystems\, revealing the impact of invasive species over time and improving our understanding of underlying mechanisms.
The effect of short selling and borrowing on market prices and traders’ behavior

Année : 2019

This paper studies the influence of allowing borrowing and short selling on market prices and traders’ forecasts in an experimental asset market. We verify\, although not statistically significantly so\, that borrowing tends to increase asset overvaluation and price orecasts\, while short selling tends to reduce these measures. We also show that a number of results on beliefs\, traders’ types\, cognitive sophistication\, and earnings obtained in earlier experimental studies in which borrowing and short selling are not possible\, generalize to markets with borrowing and short sales.
