Análisis de las relaciones bilaterales entre Francia y Argelia, antes y después de la Declaración de Argel de 2002 (1997-2007)

En este caso de estudio se analiza las relaciones bilaterales entre Francia y Argelia basadas en los procesos migratorios dados entre estos dos países que dio paso a la ampliación de los temas incluidos en la agenda política como son la migración unido a la seguridad. Ampliando de esta manera los objetivos de la política migratoria y reforzando los controles fronterizos. Igualmente se vincula la migración con la cooperación y el desarrollo político, social, económico y cultural. Esto para obtener una movilidad migratoria más organizada y gestionada a través de las políticas migratorias y de seguridad para responder así a las necesidades tanto del país de origen de los migrantes (Argelia) como al país de acogida (Francia). Francia da apoyo a reformas políticas y económicas implementadas por Argelia, siendo una asociación que busca ventajas mutuas que permitan la definición y profundización de las relaciones bilaterales basadas en lo social, político y económico.

Recognition of static and dynamic facial expressions: Influences of sex, type and intensity of emotion

Ecological validity of static and intense facial expressions in emotional recognition has been questioned. Recent studies have recommended the use of facial stimuli more compatible to the natural conditions of social interaction, which involves motion and variations in emotional intensity. In this study, we compared the recognition of static and dynamic facial expressions of happiness, fear, anger and sadness, presented in four emotional intensities (25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %). Twenty volunteers (9 women and 11 men), aged between 19 and 31 years, took part in the study. The experiment consisted of two sessions in which participants had to identify the emotion of static (photographs) and dynamic (videos) displays of facial expressions on the computer screen. The mean accuracy was submitted to an Anova for repeated measures of model: 2 sexes x [2 conditions x 4 expressions x 4 intensities]. We observed an advantage for the recognition of dynamic expressions of happiness and fear compared to the static stimuli (p < .05). Analysis of interactions showed that expressions with intensity of 25 % were better recognized in the dynamic condition (p < .05). The addition of motion contributes to improve recognition especially in male participants (p < .05). We concluded that the effect of the motion varies as a function of the type of emotion, intensity of the expression and sex of the participant. These results support the hypothesis that dynamic stimuli have more ecological validity and are more appropriate to the research with emotions.

Gender differences among undergraduates in the recognition of emotional facial expressions

The perceptive accuracy of university students was compared between men and women, from sciences and humanities courses, to recognize emotional facial expressions. emotional expressions have had increased interest in several areas involved with human interaction, reflecting the importance of perceptive skills in human expression of emotions for the effectiveness of communication. Two tests were taken: one was a quick exposure (0.5 s) of 12 faces with an emotional expression, followed by a neutral face. subjects had to tell if happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust or surprise was flashed, and each emotion was shown twice, at random. on the second test 15 faces with the combination of two emotional expressions were shown without a time limit, and the subject had to name one of the emotions of the previous list. in this study, women perceived sad expressions better while men realized more happy faces. there was no significant difference in other emotions detection like anger, fear, surprise, disgust. Students of humanities and sciences areas of both sexes, when compared, had similar capacities to perceive emotional expressions
