Le Travail de l’enseignant en lve à l’ecole primaire éclaire par la didactique comparée

Cette communication vise à éclairer le travail du professeur lorsqu’il enseigne l’anglais langue vivante étrangère (LVE), en France à l’école primaire. Nous tentons de comparer les différentes pratiques d’enseignement de quatre professeurs. Notre hypothèse est qu’elles varient d’un enseignant à l’autre en fonction de leur utilisation plus ou moins important de la langue maternelle (LM) dans le cours de LVE et les choix divers réalisés pour transmettre le savoir enseigné. Ces variations résultent de transpositions didactiques différentes et variées de la parole des maîtres selon leur formation, leur maîtrise de la LVE, et les approches distinctes qu’ils ont du savoir enseigné, etc

The effects of noise exposure on nitric oxide synthase knockout mice

This paper studies the role of nitric oxide (NOS 1, NOS 2, and NOS 3 genes) in the mouse cochlea and in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Mice genetically deficient of the NOS 2 and NOS 3 genes were protected from NIHL, indicating that one or both of these genes may be responsible for producing nitric oxide that damages the inner ear when exposed to harmful levels of noise.

Genetic influences on early cochlear vulnerability to noise and protection from noise by low-dose kanamycin in hybrid mice

Experiments evaluated both noise vulnerability and the extent of protection from noise by sub-chronic low-dose kanamycin in young F1 hybrids resulting from a cross between C57BL/6J and CBA/J inbred mice.

Cytomegalovirus: Educational outcomes and implications for newborn screening

The focus of this study was to review existing literature and analyze a survey of professional opinion regarding how children with hearing loss caused by congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) function audiologically and educationally. This study proposes a benefit for adding CMV screening to the battery of tests included in the newborn screening protocol to improve educational outcomes of children deafened from CMV.

The European Union’s Role in the Formation of India’s Climate Change Policy. Bruges Regional Integration & Global Governance Papers 2/2012, September 2012

This paper focuses on the role of the European Union (EU) in the formation of India’s climate change policy; an increasingly high profile issue area. It is based on an extensive study of relevant literature, EU-India policy documents and the execution of thirteen semi-structured interviews with experts; many of whom have experienced EU-India cooperation on climate change first-hand. A three-point typology will be used to assess the extent of the EU’s leadership role, supporting role or equal partnership role in India, with several sub-roles within these categories. Further, for clarity and chronology purposes, three time periods will be distinguished to assess how India’s climate policy has evolved over time, alongside the EU’s role within that. The findings of the paper confirm that the EU has demonstrated signs of all three roles to some degree, although the EU-India relationship in climate policy is increasingly an equal partnership. It offers explanations for previous shortcomings in EU-India climate policy as well as policy recommendations to help ensure more effective cooperation and implementation of policies.
