Artists, urbanists, anthropologists, architects and other specialists from Russia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Kyrgyzstan and other countries are the participants of the “Colonial Endurance Across Eastern Geographies” laboratory. Together they are to exp ...
2023Generalizing Bulk-Synchronous Parallel Processing for Data Science: From Data to Threads and Agent-Based Simulations
Agent-based simulations have been widely applied in many disciplines, by scientists and engineers alike. Scientists use agent-based simulations to tackle global problems, including alleviating poverty, reducing violence, and predicting the impact of pandem ...
EPFL2023When and why performance goals predict exploitation behaviors: An achievement goal complex analysis of the selection function of assessment
Fabrizio Butera, David Nguyen, Hamza Sehaqui, Kevin Fahrni, Martin Jobin, Nicolas Sommet
We adopted an achievement goal complex framework (studying achievement goals and reasons connected to goals) to determine when and why performance goals predict exploitation of others' knowledge. We hypothesized that: (i) when selective assessment is used ...
SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS2019Frontal cortical thickness correlates positively with impulsivity in early psychosis male patients
Aim Impulsive behaviours, which are frequent in young people suffering from psychosis have been linked to risky and violent behaviours and participate to the burden of psychotic illness. Given that morphological brain correlates of impulsivity in schizophr ...
WILEY2019The Birth of the Workshop: Techno-Morals, Peace Experts and the Care of the Self in the Middle East
In the article I examine through ethnography and contextual analysis one of the flagship techniques of peace expertise in the Middle East and elsewhere, the so-called conflict resolution workshop. For the transnational and hyper-mobile clan of peacemakers ...
2014Multidisciplinary design of suitable assistive technologies for motor disabilities in Colombia
Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano
raumatic or pathological brain lesions often result in motor disabilities that have strong personal and social effects. Assistive technologies can support this population, potentially improving their autonomy and promoting their participation in society. H ...
2014The Dynamics of Restraint in Cote d'Ivoire
Research on conflict prevention has mainly focused on the causes of war and post-conflict reconstruction. Our knowledge on how civilians manage to contain violence in unstable and conflict environments is, however, very limited. This article aims to unders ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013Female vulnerability to the development of depression-like behavior in a rat model of intimate partner violence is related to anxious temperament, coping responses, and amygdala vasopressin receptor 1a expression
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Guillaume Poirier
Exposure to violence is traumatic and an important source of mental health disturbance, yet the factors associated with victimization remain incompletely understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate factors related to vulnerability to depres ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2013Long-term programming of enhanced aggression by peripuberty stress in female rats
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana
Human literature has linked adverse early life experiences with an increased risk to develop violent behaviors in both boys and girls. We have previously shown that male rats submitted to stress during the peripuberty period display as adults abnormal aggr ...
Elsevier2013Peripuberty stress leads to abnormal aggression, altered amygdala and orbitofrontal reactivity and increased prefrontal MAOA gene expression
Pierre Magistretti, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Didier Trono, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Guillaume Poirier, Anna Claire Groner, Cristina Marquez Vega
Although adverse early life experiences have been found to increase lifetime risk to develop violent behaviors, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these long-term effects remain unclear. We present a novel animal model for pathological aggression in ...
