Higher and tertiary education are crucial to modern nations. Vietnam has great potential, but its universities and colleges are poor-performing, under-funded and slow to change compared to those in neighbouring East Asian nations. This book analyses the problem and provides constructive solutions for the reform of higher education.

Law and the Unconscious is the first work of the French legal philosopher Pierre Legendre to appear in English. Trained as a lawyer, a historian and a psychoanalyst, the work of Pierre Legendre has consistently confronted law with the teaching and methods of psychoanalysis. The present collection of essays addresses a fascinating and diverse set of themes including the doctrinal regulation of tears, dance and law, the desire for the absolute, the war of texts, and the power of images.

Drawing on official sources in the Russian language, this book presents new factual information about Russian society before and after the attempted coup of August 1991.

The stories in this collection cover the last 20 years of Soviet experience. They portray Soviet women of different ages and educational backgrounds at home and at work, in villages and in cities. Their thematic preoccupations and perceptions reflect changes in Soviet society, and are designed to stimulate inquiry into social and feminist issues such as emancipation and the difference between male and female consciousness and rhetoric.;The authors, both male and female, include some of the Soviet Union's major literary figures. Biographical sketches about the authors introduce each story, along with references to any other English publications they may have written. The text also contains a glossary which aims to help readers familiarize themselves with idiosyncratic facts about Soviet society.

La fumonisine B1 (FB1), une toxine produite par Fusarium verticillioides, est responsable de differentes affections chez l'animal (la leucoencephalomalacie equine, l' deme pulmonaire porcin, etc.). En France, bien que la prevalence de la FB1 se confirme d'annee en annee, peu d'etudes existent chez les palmipedes, qui constituent pourtant la production la plus exposee. L'objectif principal de nos travaux est la caracterisation de biomarqueurs d'exposition et d'effets des fumonisines chez les palmipedes au cours de differents scenario d'exposition: chez les canards en croissance (12 jours), dans les conditions de gavage (12 jours) et dans des conditions d'expositions chroniques (84 jours). Differents parametres biochimiques plasmatiques ainsi que les concentrations en sphingosine (So), sphinganine (Sa) et le rapport Sa/So ont ete explores au niveau plasmatique, hepatique et renal. Le rapport Sa/So est le biomarqueur le plus sensible lors d'exposition a la FB1. La cinetique des differents parametres explores est toutefois etroitement liee a la duree de traitement. Nos etudes rapportent une alteration de la croissance et des pertes economiques lors d'exposition aux plus fortes doses.

This will be the first collection of translated documents to appear in any language on the crusading movement in the late middle ages. The texts have been carefully selected to illuminate as wide a range of crusading activity as possible, covering the entire period from the last years of Frankish Syria in the thirteenth century to the age of the Counter-Reformation. The principal themes explored will include planning and initiation of crusades, their preaching, recruitment, finance and leadership, and the broad spectrum of popular response, from enthusiasm to condemnation.
