Efficacité différentielle de la publicité internationale : extension, adaptation ou invention

[…] Les objectifs de cette étude sont doubles: d’une part, l'auteur s’efforcera de développer un cadre théorique permettant de replacer le problème de la transférabilité du message dans son contexte, c'est-à-dire un processus de communication inter-culturel. D’autre part, l'auteur tentera de comparer expérimentalement l'efficacité d'un message transféré d'un environnement culturel donné (A) vers un autre environnement culturel (B), et celle d'un message adapté à l'environnement culturel (B). Le problème de la sélection des media, qui fait partie intégrante de la définition d'une campagne publicitaire sera volontairement laissé de côté. […]

On the extension complexity of combinatorial polytopes

In this paper we extend recent results of Fiorini et al. on the extension complexity of the cut polytope and related polyhedra. We first describe a lifting argument to show exponential extension complexity for a number of NP-complete problems including subset-sum and three dimensional matching. We then obtain a relationship between the extension complexity of the cut polytope of a graph and that of its graph minors. Using this we are able to show exponential extension complexity for the cut polytope of a large number of graphs, including those used in quantum information and suspensions of cubic planar graphs.

De las matem?ticas cl?sicas a las matem?ticas modernas y contempor?neas: el caso de la teor?a de Galois como una adjunci?n

En este trabajo de grado se presentan algunos elementos a considerar en el estudio de la transici?n de las matem?ticas cl?sicas a las matem?ticas modernas y contempor?neas, a trav?s de un estudio hist?rico ? epistemol?gico y matem?tico de la obra de Galois. As?, nos concentraremos en la indagaci?n de la teor?a de Galois como una adjunci?n, lo cual ser? analizado desde dos perspectivas: una matem?tica que nos muestra el presente te?rico de la teor?a de Galois y las adjunciones, lo que nos permite comentar como la teor?a de Galois es un caso particular de una adjunci?n; y otra hist?rica que muestra la evoluci?n de la teor?a de Galois desde 1830 hasta la actualidad. Todo esto, porque consideramos la teor?a de Galois como un ejemplo paradigm?tico en la transici?n de las matem?ticas cl?sicas a las matem?ticas modernas y contempor?neas. Al final presentaremos una reflexi?n did?ctica y epistemol?gica vinculada directamente a la formaci?n inicial de profesores en el cuerpo de las matem?ticas.

Delivering Regional Extension in Qld Farming Systems - Central Queensland

The CQ Cotton Regional Extension project has been a key to the delivery of emerging, cutting edge research information and knowledge to the Central Queensland cotton industry. The direct relevance of southern research to cotton production under the conditions experienced in CQ always has been an issue which could be addressed through regional assessment and adaptation. The project links the national research to the region through development and extension, with a strong focus on the major industry production issues including but not limited to disease, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), soils, nutrition and integrated weed management. Susan Mass has supported the implementation of national industry-wide programs particularly the industry Best Management Practices program (myBMP). This project has successfully transitioned to a focus on delivering national outcomes in target lead areas as part of National Development and Delivery Team established by Cotton CRC, CRDC and Cotton Australia, while maintaining a regional extension presence for Central Queensland cotton & grain farming systems. Susan Mass has very effectively merged and integrated strong regional extension support to cotton growers in Central Queensland with delivery of industry extension priorities across the entire industry in the Development and Delivery Team model. Susan is the target lead for disease and farm hygiene. Recognising the challenges of having regionally relevant research in Central Queensland, this project has facilitated locally based research including boll rot, Bt cotton resistance management, and mealybug biology through strong collaborations. This collaborative approach has included linkage to Department of Environment and Resource Managmeent (DERM) groups and myBMP programs resulting in a high uptake in CQ.

Fish handling, processing and storage in Uganda: the role of the extension worker

The handling and processing of fish in Uganda has until recently been carried out exclusively by the artisanal fishermen and fish processors. Their operations have left much to be desired as the product is often of low quality 'and its keeping time is limited. The handling of fresh fish has been without refrigeration but with the recent establishment of commercial fish processing plants a cold chain of fish distribution is being set up for domestic and export markets. Some of the fishermen are beginning to ice their catch immediately after reaching the shore. It is hoped that fishmongers will increasingly find it more profitable to market their products iced. This will make fish available to a large sector of the population and in the process there will be reduced post-harvest losses.

Concertation communautaire pour l'aménagement et le développement du quartier Parc Extension à Montréal

Ce document présente le processus de mise en oeuvre du plan d'aménagement du quartier Parc Extension à Montréal auquel j'ai activement participé. Initiée et planifiée en 2000, la démarche sera couronnée en 2003. L'objectif de cette initiative est de procurer aux intervenants publics, communautaires et privés un outil servant de cadre de référence afin de mieux cerner les priorités et enjeux locaux. Nous croyons qu'un tel outil suscitera l'avènement de partenariats intéressants à court, moyen et long termes, au bénéfice des résidents et résidentes du quartier. Dans un premier temps nous soulignons les caractéristiques spécifiques de Parc Extension afin de mieux saisir l'état de la situation locale. Cette compréhension devrait ensuite être facilitée par la présentation du profil des acteurs du milieu. Ces deux sections permettent au lecteur de se familiariser avec la dynamique présente. Dans un deuxième temps, nous présentons la démarche globale de l'élaboration du plan d'aménagement. Nous verrons tout d'abord l'historique et la description du processus, puis quels sont les objectifs poursuivis. Enfin nous pourrons lire le résumé-synthèse du plan, qui demeure temporaire puisqu'il s'agit d'un document de travail à ce jour. Dans la section suivante, nous approfondissons la démonstration des retombées d'un tel plan en prenant le cas de l'habitation. En effet, nous y verrons quel est le portrait de la situation, quelles instances s'activent en la matière, ce qui se fait présentement et ce qui est proposé pour l'avenir. Le thème de l'habitation illustre concrètement la pertinence d'une concertation dans l'identification des priorités. L'expression de cette concertation se traduit par des consensus menant à des actions et projets sur le terrain. Des résultats intéressants sont obtenus. Nous poursuivons alors avec les aspects théoriques. A cette étape, nous abordons la question de l'évaluation ultérieure dans le futur par la proposition d'indicateurs. Ceux-ci permettraient de mieux cerner les résultats et impacts dans quelques armées. Nous analysons également le potentiel de transférabilité de l'expérience envers d'autres milieux. Finalement, sur une note plus personnelle, je décris mes savoirs faire et savoirs être développés au cours de ce projet. Je tente une auto-analyse de mes points forts et à améliorer. Un résumé critique de l'ensemble de l'expérience vient compléter l'essai. En conclusion, nous rappelons les avantages du plan d'aménagement et un bilan des avancées franchies à ce jour.

Post-traumatic Winking Induced by Extension of the Hand: A Case Report of a Novel Synkinesis

Several synkinesis syndromes have been reported in the literature. Synkinesis syndromes are rare and are most commonly congenital or follow post-traumatic reinnervation. We describe a novel synkinesis syndrome that developed several months after cervical spinal cord infarction due to a herniated disc in a 29-year-old woman. When the patient overstretched the extensor muscles of the right hand, the right upper eyelid raised automatically and nasal congestion developed. We hypothesize that aberrant reinnervation of the intermediolateral columns of the spinal cord at level C8–T2 by motor neurons of the extensor muscles of the hand occurred.

The role of games in the development of oral skills in Teaching english as a foreign language to adult learners from An extension course at Universidad del Valle [recurso electr?nico]

This research arose from the notorious need to promote oral production in the adult learners of the English Extension courses at Universidad del Valle in 2014. This qualitative research was carried out in a 60 hour course divided along 15 sessions on Saturdays, and with an adult population between the ages of 22 and 65 years old. Its main objective was to describe the impact of games aimed at promoting oral production in English with a group of adult learners. Data were collected from one demographic survey, video-recordings of classroom events during the implementation of games, students? surveys after each game and a teacher?s journal. The analysis of data showed that games did have an impact in students? performance which was related to a positive atmosphere in the classroom. Students showed progress in terms of fluency, interaction and even pronunciation; however they still showed difficulties with accuracy in their spontaneous utterances. These learners? achievements seemed to have a relation with the class atmosphere during games where students showed high level of involvement, confidence, mutual support and enjoyment.

Assessment of institutional contexts for collective action, and stakeholder receptiveness to integrated research-extension approaches on Lac Ntomba, Lac Maï-Ndombe and the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba watersheds

The WorldFish Center has been collaborating with its partners (AWF and WWF) in the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba (MLW) and the Lac Tele-Lac Ntomba (LTL) Landscapes to develop participatory monitoring systems for aquatic ecosystems. This requires rigorous data collection regarding fishing effort and catch, and the establishment of community partnerships; enabling WorldFish Center researchers to understand and counteract the institutional legacies of previous NGO interventions. In the MLW, fisherfolk livelihoods are severely limited due to their extreme isolation from markets and government services. However, fisherfolk have some experience dealing with natural resource conservation or extraction entities as well as humanitarian agencies. Their history has left them slightly skeptical but reasonably willing to collaborate with incoming NGOs. Around Lac Ntomba, fisherfolk have had more extensive interactions with conservation and humanitarian NGOs, but despite their proximity to the Congo River, they appear to have very limited access to distant markets. As past benefits from NGO activities have been captured by local village elites many fishers are highly skeptical and even antagonistic toward NGOs in general, and see little benefits from collaborating with each other or NGOs. Similarly to the MLW and Lac Ntomba, Lac Maï-Ndombe fisherfolk were disillusioned by past NGO activities. However, in this area levels of fish catch are greater than in the other watersheds, and many fishers make regular trips to major markets in Kinshasa, Kikwit and Tchikapa. Consequently, while there are significant divisions to be addressed in Lac Maï-Ndombe, fisherfolk in general are more interested in exploring options for improving livelihoods. In order to overcome these hurdles, the WorldFish Center has introduced an integrated research-extension approach in its interactions with these communities. The teams conducted demonstrations of technological innovations that could significantly improve on present post-harvest fish processing practices, in particular: a solar fish drying tent and a fish smoking barrel.
