David Attenborough

Després de més de mig segle recorrent el món per mostrar la naturalesa a través de la televisió,Sir David Attenborough (Londres, 1926) no ha perdut un bri de passió per la seua feina. Als 84 anys, continua plenament actiu, buscant noves històries sobre la vida natural que portar a les pantalles. Entre els seus encara freqüents viatges, escriu els guions de projectes, en la seuacasa de sempre, al tranquil barri residencial de Richmond, als afores de Londres. Encara que no estan a la vista, algun armari d’aquesta casa guarda incomptables diplomes i trofeus que certifiquen que Sir David ha rebut els més importants reconeixements per la seua feina de divulgacióde la naturalesa. El més recent ha estat el premi Príncep d’Astúries, que va arreplegar l’any passat. «Una experiència sorprenent –recorda–, sobretot per la manera com tota la ciutat acull aquest esdeveniment. Amb aquelles meravelloses bandes de música local, que jo no coneixia. Ho vam passar molt bé. Va ser sensacional.&raquo

Heinrich Behmann's 1921 lecture on the decision problem and the algebra of logic

Heinrich Behmann (1891-1970) obtained his Habilitation under David Hilbert in G\"ottingen in 1921 with a thesis on the decision problem. In his thesis, he solved-independently of L\"owenheim and Skolem's earlier work-the decision problem for monadic second-order logic in a framework that combined elements of the algebra of logic and the newer axiomatic approach to logic then being developed in G\"ottingen. In a talk given in 1921, he outlined this solution, but also presented important programmatic remarks on the significance of the decision problem and of decision procedures more generally. The text of this talk as well as a partial English translation are included

Analyse de la motivation et du processus décisionnel d'investissement en "crowdfunding"

Avant 2008, la réalité du financement des entreprises et des startups se résumait aux crédits bancaires et à l’aide financière de la famille ou des amis. Mais ça... c’était avant ! Aujourd’hui, l’émergence du financement participatif (« crowdfunding ») leur permet d’élargir leurs sources de financement externe. En effet, elles peuvent à présent obtenir le soutien financier de particuliers (en anglais, « the crowd »). Le principe du « crowdfunding » est simple. Il est inspiré du dicton français : « Les petits ruisseaux font les grandes rivières ». Grâce au financement participatif, les entrepreneurs peuvent récolter de petites sommes d’argent auprès d’un grand nombre de personnes pour financer la réalisation d’un projet. Ce travail va s’intéresser plus spécifiquement au « crowdinvesting », qui permet à des investisseurs d’apporter une contribution financière à un projet et de devenir ainsi actionnaires de l’entreprise qu’ils soutiennent. En outre, le sujet principal concerne les investisseurs, leur intérêt à investir et les critères de décision qu’ils utilisent. La problématique à laquelle j’ai souhaité répondre est : Que recherchent ou qu’attendent ces investisseurs et comment prennent-­ils leurs décisions d’investissement ? Afin de réaliser ce travail, un sondage a été fait auprès de 163 personnes. L’analyse de la motivation des investisseurs a été réalisée grâce au modèle des quatre valeurs de Sweeney et Soutar (2001) : la valeur fonctionnelle et qualité, la valeur monétaire, la valeur émotionnelle et la valeur sociale. Les résultats ont permis de définir différentes variables qui conduisent un investisseur à soutenir un projet par le biais du « crowdinvesting ». En ce qui concerne le processus décisionnel d’investissement, l’analyse a été effectuée grâce aux précédents travaux sur les « Business Angels ». Selon les résultats, ces derniers et les investisseurs en « crowdinvesting » sont similaires sur certains points, et appliquent des critères de décision similaires tout au long de leur processus
