Stakeholder Pressures, CSR Practices, and Business Outcomes in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands

Furrer, Olivier ; Holtbrügge, Dirk

In: European Journal of International Management (EJIM), 2018, vol. 12, no. 4, p. 472-500

This cross-country study investigates the antecedents and outcomes of corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSER) practices. Based on institutional theory and stakeholder theory we conducted an empirical study among 519 firms in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. We found evidence supporting a significant positive relationship between stakeholder pressures, CSER practices,...

« Mais voici que Pan de sa flûte recommence à jouer » : une étude de la renaissance du solo pour flûte en France entre 1913 et 1936

Vincent, Delphine

In: Schweizer Jahrbuch für Musikwissenschaft - Annales Suisses de Musicologie - Annuario Svizzero di Musicologia, 2009, vol. 28-29, p. 195-258

Localisée en France avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la renaissance de la flûte seule a fait l’objet d’un grand nombre d’études. Ce répertoire a été évalué dans la perspective du renouveau « interne » du langage musical des avant-gardes ou dans une perspective évolutionniste, tendant à souligner l’exploitation croissante d’effets élargissant les virtualités techniques et...

Epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae among healthcare students, at the Portuguese Red Cross Health School of Lisbon, Portugal

Fournier, Claudine ; Aires de Sousa, Marta ; Fuster Escriva, Begoña ; Sales, Leila ; Nordmanna, Patrice ; Poirel, Laurent

In: Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2020, vol. 22, p. 733–737

Objective: The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the prevalence of intestinal carriage by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae among Portuguese students attending a Bachelors’ course in healthcare, and to determine the molecular features of ESBL-producing isolates.Methods: One-hundred and eleven faecal samples recovered from Portuguese...

New material of “Eurysternidae” (Thalassochelydia, Pan-Cryptodira) from the Kimmeridgian of the Swiss Jura Mountains

Püntener, Christian ; Anquetin, Jérémy ; Billon-Bruyat, Jean-Paul

In: Palaeovertebrata, 2020, vol. 43, no. 1, p. e2

The region of Porrentruy (Swiss Jura Mountains) is known for its rich and diverse assemblage of Late Jurassic coastal marine turtles (Thalassochelydia). Dominated by the “Plesiochelyidae”, this assemblage also includes representatives of the two other thalassochelydian groups, the “Thalassemydidae” and “Eurysternidae.” In this study, we present new shell-based material from Porrentruy...

Characterization of PAN-1, a carbapenem-hydrolyzing class b β-lactamase from the environmental gram-negative Pseudobacteriovorax antillogorgiicola

Kieffer, Nicolas ; Poirel, Laurent ; Fournier, Claudine ; Haltli, Brad ; Kerr, Russel ; Nordmann, Patrice

In: Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019, vol. 10, p. -

The gene encoding the metallo-β-lactamase (MβL) PAN-1 was identified in the genome of the environmental Gram-negative species Pseudobacteriovorax antillogorgiicola. PAN-1 shares 57% amino-acid identity with the acquired MβL SPM- 1, its closest relative. Kinetic parameters performed on purified PAN-1 showed it displayed a hydrolytic activity toward most β-lactams including carbapenems but ...

A new testudinoid turtle from the middle to late Eocene of Vietnam

Garbin, Rafaella C. ; Böhme, Madelaine ; Joyce, Walter G.

In: PeerJ, 2019, vol. 7, p. e6280

Testudinoidea is a major clade of turtles that has colonized different ecological environments across the globe throughout the Tertiary. Aquatic testudinoids have a particularly rich fossil record in the Tertiary of the northern hemisphere, but little is known about the evolutionary history of the group, as the phylogenetic relationships of most fossils have not been established with...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Escherichia coli

Poirel, Laurent ; Madec, Jean-Yves ; Lupo, Agnese ; Schink, Anne-Kathrin ; Kieffer, Nicolas ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Schwarz, Stefan

In: Microbiology Spectrum, 2018, vol. 6, no. 4, p. -

Multidrug resistance in Escherichia coli has become a worrying issue that is increasingly observed in human but also in veterinary medicine worldwide. E. coli is intrinsically susceptible to almost all clinically relevant antimicrobial agents, but this bacterial species has a great capacity to accumulate resistance genes, mostly through horizontal gene transfer. The most problematic...

Fossil amphibians and reptiles from Plakias, Crete: A glimpse into the earliest late Miocene herpetofaunas of southeastern Europe

Georgalis, Georgios L. ; Villa, Andrea ; Vlachos, Evangelos ; Delfino, Massimo

In: Geobios, 2016, vol. 49, no. 6, p. 433–444

Fossil amphibians and reptiles from the earliest late Miocene (early Tortonian, MN 9) of Plakias (Crete, Greece) are described in this paper. Most of the material is fragmentary, precluding precise taxonomic assignment. Nevertheless, the herpetofauna of Plakias is here shown to be diverse, comprising at least six different taxa: an alytid anuran, a crocodilian, two turtles (a pan-trionychid...
