Des réseaux multilatéraux, en appui aux études littéraires et culturelles francophones à l’université

Cette réflexion présente les dispositifs mis en place par l’Agence universitaire de la francophonie, dont le principe fondateur est de créer des réseaux afin de permettre, dans une perspective de solidarité, l’échange d’informations et de moyens. Ces réseaux, par la diversité des situations et des disciplines d’enseignement et de recherche qu'ils mettent en relation, se positionnent dans le développement de nouveaux savoirs

Altimetry for the future: Building on 25 years of progress

In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy and cryospheric sciences. Many symbolic major events have celebrated these developments, e.g., in Venice, Italy, the 15th (2006) and 20th (2012) years of progress and more recently, in 2018, in Ponta Delgada, Portugal, 25 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry. On this latter occasion it was decided to collect contributions of scientists, engineers and managers involved in the worldwide altimetry community to depict the state of altimetry and propose recommendations for the altimetry of the future. This paper summarizes contributions and recommendations that were collected and provides guidance for future mission design, research activities, and sustainable operational radar altimetry data exploitation. Recommendations provided are fundamental for optimizing further scientific and operational advances of oceanographic observations by altimetry, including requirements for spatial and temporal resolution of altimetric measurements, their accuracy and continuity. There are also new challenges and new openings mentioned in the paper that are particularly crucial for observations at higher latitudes, for coastal oceanography, for cryospheric studies and for hydrology. The paper starts with a general introduction followed by a section on Earth System Science including Ocean Dynamics, Sea Level, the Coastal Ocean, Hydrology, the Cryosphere and Polar Oceans and the ‘‘Green” Ocean, extending the frontier from biogeochemistry to marine ecology. Applications are described in a subsequent section, which covers Operational Oceanography, Weather, Hurricane Wave and Wind Forecasting, Climate projection. Instruments’ development and satellite missions’ evolutions are described in a fourth section. A fifth section covers the key observations that altimeters provide and their potential complements, from other Earth observation measurements to in situ data. Section 6 identifies the data and methods and provides some accuracy and resolution requirements for the wet tropospheric correction, the orbit and other geodetic requirements, the Mean Sea Surface, Geoid and Mean Dynamic Topography, Calibration and Validation, data accuracy, data access and handling (including the DUACS system). Section 7 brings a transversal view on scales, integration, artificial intelligence, and capacity building (education and training). Section 8 reviews the programmatic issues followed by a conclusion

Samuel Beckett : novelista del fin de milenio

1 archivo PDF (19 páginas)Se reflexiona acerca de la obra de Samuel Beckett, partiendo de la narrativa y autores contemporáneos, y se resaltan las siguientes características: Desaparición del personaje, desintegración progresiva del contexto espacial, desaparición de la secuencia ordenada de acciones y podredumbre del lenguaje. tyvl

La crítica: ¿apoyo o limitaciones para la enseñanza de la literatura?

La segmentación entre historia literaria, lectura literaria y creación literaria reproduce una división institucional entre la práctica y la teoría: de ahí surge, en opinión de Marc Cheymol, las limitaciones de la crítica en la enseñanza de la literatura. En este artículo, el autor ahonda en el tema

Un capítulo de historia literaria. La modernidad en busca de la escritura perdida (1950-1990)

Este ensayo propone un esquema que permita situar las obras relevantes producidas en Francia después de 1950, sin criterios de exhaustividad y sin ceder a la facilidad de un inventario en forma de catálogo. Marc Cheymol hace un breve examen de la producción contemporánea a la luz de algunas ideas generales

Priority target conditions for algorithms for monitoring children's growth: Interdisciplinary consensus

<div><p>Background</p><p>Growth monitoring of apparently healthy children aims at early detection of serious conditions through the use of both clinical expertise and algorithms that define abnormal growth. Optimization of growth monitoring requires standardization of the definition of abnormal growth, and the selection of the priority target conditions is a prerequisite of such standardization.</p><p>Objective</p><p>To obtain a consensus about the priority target conditions for algorithms monitoring children's growth.</p><p>Methods</p><p>We applied a formal consensus method with a modified version of the RAND/UCLA method, based on three phases (preparatory, literature review, and rating), with the participation of expert advisory groups from the relevant professional medical societies (ranging from primary care providers to hospital subspecialists) as well as parent associations. We asked experts in the pilot (n = 11), reading (n = 8) and rating (n = 60) groups to complete the list of diagnostic classification of the <i>European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology</i> and then to select the conditions meeting the four predefined criteria of an ideal type of priority target condition.</p><p>Results</p><p>Strong agreement was obtained for the 8 conditions selected by the experts among the 133 possible: celiac disease, Crohn disease, craniopharyngioma, juvenile nephronophthisis, Turner syndrome, growth hormone deficiency with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome, infantile cystinosis, and hypothalamic-optochiasmatic astrocytoma (in decreasing order of agreement).</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>This national consensus can be used to evaluate the algorithms currently suggested for growth monitoring. The method used for this national consensus could be re-used to obtain an international consensus.</p></div
