Bessin M., " La présence sociale en polyvalence de secteur. Enjeux de temporalisation et de sexuation dans l'accompagnement par des assistantes sociales ", in Bessin M. & al. Le genre de l'autonomie. Enquêtes sur la sexuation des interventions sociales, rapport de recherche pour la MIRE/DARES, IRIS-CSPRP, avril 2009, pp. 155-194.
Le chapitre de ce rapport de recherche, consacré à l'analyse sociologique de la sexuation de différents dispositifs d'intervention sociale, rend compte d'une enquête menée au sein d'un service d'assistantes sociales. Celui-ci étant soumis à une importante restructuration assez exemplaire de l'esprit gestionnaire qui traverse le secteur social, le chapitre restitue les enjeux temporels et sexués des manières de résister à ces évolutions. La présence sociale, qui résume bien ces temps sexués du travail social, représente dès lors un bon angle d'observation des manières de donner du sens à la pratique des professionnelles du social
Teaching Discernment in a World that Eschews Truth
College students today have the harrowing task of sifting through massive amounts of information that no longer fits into nice, neat categories. The role of the librarian has shifted along with the information landscape, from the role of information gatekeeper to information guide. As information has become more prolific and accessible, it is more important than ever to teach students how to evaluate the information they discover to determine whether it is appropriate and relevant for their information need. In a world filled with fake news and constructed realities, the idea that truth has value, let alone exists, can seem outdated or even hostile. However, Christ-followers believe that part of the revelatory process is discovering the truth. Christian librarians should instruct our students to use discernment to seek truth even when the world avoids it. Christian librarians can combine dedication to the librarian profession, passion for teaching, and immersion in Christian values to guide students in truth-seeking behavior

Smarter Alfalfa Weevil Management
Alfalfa weevil is the primary insect pest attacking the first cutting of alfalfa reducing both quality and yield. The tiny 1st and 2nd stage larvae chew on tip leaves producing tiny pin holes which may seem minor, but 3rd and 4th stages feed extensively shredding leaves resulting in significant damage. A heavy infestation can cause the field to appear grayish. While an individual larva feeds for about 3 weeks, eggs hatch over an extended period, so total damage within a field will accumulate over 5 to 6 weeks
Assessing the Potential Impact of Sugarcane Varieties and Predation on Diatraea Saccharalis (F.) Populations in Southern Louisiana.
To facilitate a better understanding of how varietal resistance and predation affect area-wide sugarcane borer populations, several studies were undertaken before the development of a simulation model. The first study was a 3-year investigation into the compatibility and contributions of varietal resistance, arthropod predation and insecticide toward sugarcane borer control. Insecticides were shown to be the predominant management factor preventing plant injury, but varietal resistance appeared nearly as important in terms of sugarcane borer population regulation in sugarcane. The next study assessed a moth production index in addition to the percentage of bored internodes as a tool for quantifying varietal resistance to the sugarcane borer. Resistance ratings based on the percentage of bored internodes were proven to be inadequate estimators of moth emergence due to differences in sugarcane borer survival after entry into the stalk. The third study investigated the fecundity of the sugarcane borer with larval development on four gramineous hosts. A single linear regression on female pupal weight was obtained to predict fecundity regardless of the host for larval development. The simulation model included processes of immature development, oviposition, host-dependent mortality and mortality due to arthropod predation. Varietal parameters in the model were obtained from small-plot varietal evaluations. Percentages of bored internodes were used to compare survival of sugarcane borer eggs until establishment in the stalk among sugarcane cultivars with and without predator suppression. To estimate survival among cultivars, from establishment in the stalk until pupation, a relative survival index was utilized. Simulations showed that differences in moth emergence and total emergence were greatest when there was no exchange of adults among varieties. Simulations indicated that the impact of susceptible varieties on sugarcane borer populations can be mitigated if these varieties are properly dispersed among varieties with greater resistance. Relatively small differences observed in small plot varietal evaluations were magnified during the simulations when amount of adult redistribution among varieties was reduced (i.e. grown in larger continuous plantings). Thus, results obtained from small plot varietal resistance evaluations alone do not adequately address the potential role that varieties may have on pest populations when grown on larger acreages

The social representation of the moped among teenage boys: between transgressive behavior and social integration
A moped user’s risk of being killed on the road is much higher than that of a motorist. If numerous studies have been performed for bikers, much rarer are works dealing with moped users, who however represent a population of vulnerable users. Compared with bikers and other types of road users, this population of low cylinder users has the particularity of being made up of a majority of teenagers, that is, riders with little experience, little training and the particular problems linked with this age group. This qualitative study proposes to investigate the social representation of the moped among French teenage boys with the method of little stories. It deals with group influence on driving and taking risks
