Managérialisation et Etat social : satisfaction et motivation d'intervenants et d'intervenantes socio-éducatives dans des contextes plus ou moins managérialisés

La contribution d'Yves Emery et Julien Niklaus étudie les effets du new managerialism dans le secteur social. Les nouveaux outils de pilotage ont profondément transformé les conditions cadres du travail social, de l'organisation des tâches ainsi que de l'action professionnelle. Les auteurs cherchent à savoir dans quelle mesure ces transformations influencent la motivation et la satisfaction au travail des travailleurs et travailleuses sociales. Ils comparent deux institutions présentant des degrés différents de managérialisation et constatent, avec surprise, une motivation supérieure dans les organisations davantage managérialisées, alors que la satisfaction au travail ne présente pas de différences.

Mutations in CTC1, encoding conserved telomere maintenance component 1, cause Coats plus.

Coats plus is a highly pleiotropic disorder particularly affecting the eye, brain, bone and gastrointestinal tract. Here, we show that Coats plus results from mutations in CTC1, encoding conserved telomere maintenance component 1, a member of the mammalian homolog of the yeast heterotrimeric CST telomeric capping complex. Consistent with the observation of shortened telomeres in an Arabidopsis CTC1 mutant and the phenotypic overlap of Coats plus with the telomeric maintenance disorders comprising dyskeratosis congenita, we observed shortened telomeres in three individuals with Coats plus and an increase in spontaneous γH2AX-positive cells in cell lines derived from two affected individuals. CTC1 is also a subunit of the α-accessory factor (AAF) complex, stimulating the activity of DNA polymerase-α primase, the only enzyme known to initiate DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. Thus, CTC1 may have a function in DNA metabolism that is necessary for but not specific to telomeric integrity.

Equation of state of hot, dense stellar matter. Finite temperature nuclear Thomas-Fermi approach

The properties of hot, dense stellar matter are investigated with a finite temperature nuclear Thomas-Fermi model.

Particle in an electromagnetic field: The Lorentz-Dirac equation

A new method to solve the Lorentz-Dirac equation in the presence of an external electromagnetic field is presented. The validity of the approximation is discussed, and the method is applied to a particle in the presence of a constant magnetic field.

BRST-invariant path integral for a spinning relativistic particle

The propagator of a relativistic spinning particle is calculated using the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin-(BRST)-invariant path-integral formalism of Fradkin and Vilkovisky. The spinless case is considered as an introduction to the formalism.
