L’indicible et l’indiciel. Empreinte gustative et trace figurative
2011
International audience; L’image des aliments fait l’objet d’une production éditoriale foisonnante, protéiforme : livres de cuisine, de recettes ; ouvrages sur le goût, la table, la gastronomie, les Chefs, les styles et les cultures alimentaires ; émissions et blogs culinaires ; productions médiatiques et multimédias, artistiques et muséales innombrables . Sans dresser d’inventaire, on voit bien que le sujet fascine, au point d’occuper, voire de saturer, l’espace des publications en tous genres. L’ampleur du phénomène rend toujours plus difficile la marge de différenciation par rapport à tout ce qui est produit sur le marché, notamment en termes d’images.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ESTABLISHING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES
2012
Recently, companies have apprehended the fact that customers want more than merely products or services and have proceeded in providing value creation through customer experiences. Experience marketing has emphasized the need to stimulate, entertain and affect consumers at an emotional level in order to create the premises for an experience in consumption. The repercussions for the experience marketing approach can range from brand advocacy, word-of-mouth, to loyalty and motivation to buy such an experience. Therefore, companies need to manage these experiences and pay attention to the moments of truth the customer has with the organization in question.
Reliability of measurements during countermovement jump assessments: Analysis of performance across subphases
2020
The aim of this study was to examine the reliability of performance measures in the different phases and sub-phases of the countermovement jump (CMJ). Seventeen male athletes competing at a regional level completed 204 valid trails consisting of the execution of maximal hands-on-waist CMJs performed on a force platform. The vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) data obtained at a sampling frequency of 1000 Hz were used to calculate performance-derived variables and determine key points and jump sub-phases. The relative reliability of 92 variables was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) from a two-way mixed effects model analyzing the time, force, power, velocity, and…
Conventional Theory’s Relevance: Evidence from Japan
2019
Abstract The formidable surge in the volume of international trade after 1960 stimulated surveys designed to ascertain to what degree the commercial flows among nations reflected the structure of their economies, in other words, how tight was the correlation between international exchanges and the specific attributes of participating nations.

I try to show that, although most of the tests reached their purpose in that they…
