ISSP position stand : Transnationalism, mobility, and acculturation in and through sport
2017
The historically unprecedented pace of internationalising sport industry and transnational movement of athletic talent in the last 20 years has heightened the need for developing new competencies in research and daily practice of sport psychology professionals. While academic literature in cultural sport psychology and praxis has been increasing, sport professionals and local organisations seem to give scant time and resources to stay abreast of complex social changes in transnational industry and to the development of cultural competencies. Stemming from the continuing need for qualified athletic personnel to support transitioning athletes and to achieve intercultural effectiveness in dail…

Zaangażowanie muzeum w proces komunikowania o zmianie klimatu
2019
In this paper I addressed the issue of the engagement of museums in climate change. The problem of climate change is so important in the current social context that, despite its difficult political connotations, it cannot be ignored by museums, especially if we consider a museum as an element of a public sphere. Climate change is a challenge in 21st century. Climate change will present challenges that are of long-term nature, multidimensional and global phenomenon. It could impact directly on museums. I assume museums can provide a safe place for dialogue around climate change. Museums can also inform publics about the science of climate change and help to equip people with knowledge, shape…

Discretionary Fiscal Policies over the Cycle: New Evidence Based on the ESCB Disaggregated Approach
2012
This paper explores how discretionary fiscal policies on the revenue side of the government budget have reacted to economic fluctuations in European Union countries. For this purpose, it uses data on legislated revenue changes and structural indicators provided twice per year by National Central Banks of European Union countries in the ESCB framework for analysing fiscal policy. The analysis is based on the estimation of fiscal policy rules linking these measures of legislated fiscal policy changes to the output gap and other control variables. Then, baseline results are compared with regression estimates where variations of cyclically-adjusted indicators are used as proxy for discretionary…
'Dark Ecological Network': strategically tackling light pollution for biodiversity and people
2021
Night-time light pollution from artificial sources can disrupt biological processes and fragment habitats. This study presents a new concept foraddressing the problem: a 'dark ecological network'. Its development involves mapping a new system of connected functional zones and corridors where dark can be preserved to help birds, bats and other taxa, and gives people the chance to experience starry skies.
Periodismo de datos iberoamericano: desarrollo, contestación y cambio social. Presentación
2018
espanolA medida que el foco de la investigacion del periodismo de datos se desplaza hacia el Sur Global, Iberoamerica es una region que permanece relativamente poco explorada. Sin embargo, no solo ha sido un espacio pionero en las practicas de periodismo de datos sino que posee un enorme potencial de cambio social y desarrollo a traves de datos abiertos. De hecho, Iberoamerica ha destacado en muchas areas relacionadas con este campo. El periodico argentino La Nacion tiene hasta la fecha una de las unidades de periodismo de datos mas innovadoras en el ambito internacional. Ademas, La Nacion, junto con el periodico espanol El Pais, The Guardian, The New York Times y Spiegel, fue una de las pr…

Date de semis du mil et variabilité intrasaisonnière des précipitations au Niger
2012
Le rôle du déterminisme pluviométrique, et plus spécifiquement du démarrage de la saison des pluies, sur les pratiques agricoles a été évalué à partir de l'exemple de la culture du mil dans la région de Niamey parce que celle-ci y occupe une place prépondérante. Cette analyse, à l'interface du climat et des sociétés, a été réalisée à partir d'enquêtes agronomiques conduites en milieu paysan sur l'observatoire AMMA-CATCH Niger sur un carré de100 km x 100 km au NE de Niamey entre 2004 et 2007. Par ailleurs, le démarrage de la saison des pluies repose sur des considérations subjectives qui dépendent fortement de l'utilisateur. Ainsi, ce dernier est de nature équivoque dans ces régions semi-ari…
