[more ▼] SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis is a tool widely used to help in decision making in complex systems. It suits to exploring the issues and measures related to the conservation and development of local breeds, as it allows the integration of many driving factors influencing breed dynamics. We developed a quantified SWOT method as a ecisionmaking tool for identification and ranking of conservation and development strategies of local breeds, and applied it to a set of 13 cattle breeds of six European countries. The method has four steps: definition of the system, identification and grouping of the driving factors, quantification of the importance of driving factors and identification and prioritization of the strategies. The factors were determined following a multi-stakeholder approach and grouped with a three-level structure. Animal genetic resources expert groups ranked the factors, and a quantification process was implemented to identify and prioritize strategies. The proposed SWOT methodology allows analyzing the dynamics of local cattle breeds in a structured and systematic way. It is a flexible tool developed to assist different stakeholders in defining the strategies and actions. The quantification process allows the comparison of the driving factors and the prioritization of the strategies for the conservation and development of local cattle breeds. We identified 99 factors across the breeds. Although the situation is very heterogeneous, the future of these breeds may be promising. The most important strengths and weaknesses were related to production systems and farmers. The most important opportunities were found in marketing new products, whereas the most relevant threats were found in selling the current products. The across-breed strategies utility decreased as they gained specificity. Therefore, the strategies at European level should focus on general aspects and be flexible enough to be adapted to the country and breed specificities.

[more ▼] Les récits ethnographiques et les réflexions que je vais présenter dans cet article sont issus d’une recherche menée dans les villes marocaines de Khouribga et de Rabat entre 2007 et 2008. L’étude concerne la mobilité d’un groupe de jeunes « khouribgii » inscrits dans des projets migratoires vers l’Italie ainsi que les actions et les discours de certains organismes humanitaires (internationaux et locaux) s’occupant de thématiques liées à la migration. L’utilisation d’une distinction terminologique adoptée ici entre mobilité d’une part et migration d’autre part, a été choisi pour représenter une différenciation opérée entre l’expérience faite de la mobilité par ces jeunes à travers leur préparation à la migration, et le blâme et l’entrave à l’action de migrer opérée dans les discours et par les actions des ONG. D’un côté nous avons donc une mobilité qui s’exerce dans l’imaginaire de ces jeunes, tout comme dans des pratiques concrètes mises en place pour réaliser le projet migratoire (qui comportent l’apprentissage d’instruments utiles à l’affronter, tels que la langue italienne ou la capacité de mouvement à travers l’appareil législatif international et national qui régisse la migration) ; une mobilité qui s’exerce également dans la participation aux réseaux migratoires familiaux ; et de l’autre côté, une migration dissuadée par les programmes humanitaires ou sociaux. Ces derniers consentent une mobilité qui puisse s’accomplir dans un rapprochement « virtuel » au pays de destination, à travers notamment des cours de « culture italienne », mais en détournant la définition des parcours migratoires personnels et en les insérant dans la rhétorique de la « migration intelligente », c’est-à-dire en demandant que, s’ils arrivent à être réalisés, ils soient utiles au « développement » de la communauté locale d’origine. A travers l’analyse de ces aspects, cet article vise donc à démontrer la réalité des déplacements des jeunes interviewés, malgré leur permanence sur le territoire marocain, la concrétisation de leur aspiration de migration dans l’expérience de la mobilité, en remettant donc en cause la frontière entre les deux concepts définis ci-dessus.

[more ▼] Traditional methods of volatile detection used by police typically consist of reliance on canine olfaction. However, dogs have some limitations such as cost of training and time of conditioning. The possibility of using parasitic wasps for detecting explosives and narcotics has been developed. Moreover, wasps are cheap to produce and can be conditioned with impressive speed for a specific chemical-detection task. We examined the ability of Nasonia vitripennis Walker to learn and respond to methydisulfanylmethane (DMDS), a volatile discriminator of cadaver. The training aimed to form an association between an unconditioned stimulus (pupae) and the conditioned stimulus (odor source). After the training, the time spent of conditioned wasps in the DMDS chamber was measured. Statistical analysis showed that the increasing concentrations involved an increase in the time spent in the chamber containing DMDS. This study indicates that N. vitripennis can respond to DMDS, which provide further support for its development as a biological sensor.

[more ▼] Various cases of human beings ‘dedicated’ to deities are attested in Greek epigraphic evidence. Are these kinds of offerings comparable to the dedication of inanimate objects? Besides, does the fact that someone is said to be ‘sacred’ to a specific deity necessarily involve that he went through a process of dedication? This article aims at providing a global picture of different situations in which processes of dedications took place. Among the several issues that are tackled, the cornerstone of this article consists of two questions: for what purposes did some people decide to consecrate a human being to a deity and what were the consequences for the consecrated individuals on religious and social levels? Different categories of persons will be contrasted, in terms of processes through which they acquire their new status but also in terms of the freedom/lack of freedom which is conveyed by this new status. It will also be shown that, as far as method is concerned, it is necessary to complete a lexical analysis with a contextual perspective for a deeper understanding of the problem.

[more ▼] Introduction: Children’s quality of life evaluation has specific methodological aspects. Objective: To examine the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Child Quality of Life Systemic Inventory (CQLSI), which is based on an innovative conceptual and methodological approach to quality of life self-assessment, namely by being interactive and playful, having a psychometry which operates several scores and allowing an analysis of each domain of life. Methods: 120 Portuguese children, from 8 to 12 years old. Results: Internal consistency of the four scores of the CQLSI (State, Goal, Rank and Gap) is satisfactory; all scores have their own specificity. Data show convergent validity. On the other hand, no satisfactory factorial structure was found. Conclusion: Feasibility and psychometric adequacy of the CQLSI Portuguese version seems demonstrated.

[more ▼] Unlike the Egyptians who produced and consumed wine and beer from the earliest times, the Greeks and Romans are known mainly as producers and drinkers of wine. This paper attempts to address the question of the use of wine in cooking and medical recipes on Greek and Latin literary papyri from Egypt (IV/III BC – VI/VII AD). Do these texts manifest a local influence through mentions of Egyptian wine or beer or do they refer only to Greek (after the conquest of Alexander the Great in 332 BC) and Italian (after the annexation to the Roman state in 30 BC) wines? Furthermore, this study lists the properties and functions ascribed to wine(s) in these writings. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 9 (0 ULg) |
