Les outils d'intelligence territoriale pour les acteurs de terrain à Seraing: entre appropriation des méthodes et acquisition de compétences

2005

Asbl Optim@ leads an experience of participative observation in Seraing since 1998. The complexity of the problems met by the population and the professional division into sectors justified this participative approach. This one concerns the economic, social and human global nature of the territory. It leans on a wide partnership of local actors: professionals, inhabitants and decision-makers. It uses at this end the method of territorial intelligence CATALYSE created by the research team ThéMA-MTI and developed with numerous members of the REIT. The results obtained in terms of interdisciplinary dialogue between inhabitants, professionals and decision-makers; allow identifying axes about th…

Régulation et coordination du système de santé. Des institutions invisibles à la politique économique.

Ethique médicale et politique de santé

2005

La réflexion sur l'avenir de l'assurance maladie prend appui sur une lecture de la réforme ou contre-réforme en termes de privatisation ou d'étatisation, de recours aux mécanismes de marché ou au contraire de développement des institutions centralisatrices. Cet ouvrage est une contribution à ces débats, qu'il cherche à éclairer en privilégiant une entrée par l'éthique médicale. Il propose un ensemble de réflexions qui ont en commun de considérer que les questions éthiques sont fondamentales à la compréhension de l'évolution du système de santé. En mobilisant des experts reconnus venant de différents horizons économie, philosophie, santé publique, sociologie, théologie, il offre une approche…

How news affect the trading behavior of different categories of investors in a financial market

2015

We investigate the trading behavior of a large set of single investors trading the highly liquid Nokia stock over the period 2003-2008 with the aim of determining the relative role of endogenous and exogenous factors that may affect their behavior. As endogenous factors we consider returns and volatility, whereas the exogenous factors we use are the total daily number of news and a semantic variable based on a sentiment analysis of news. Linear regression and partial correlation analysis of data show that different categories of investors are differently correlated to these factors. Governmental and non profit organizations are weakly sensitive to news and returns or volatility, and, typica…

More educated, more mobile? Evidence from post-secondary education reform

2016

More educated, more mobile? Evidence from post-secondary education reform. Spatial Economic Analysis. This paper examines the causal impact of the level of education on within-country migration. To account for biases resulting from selection into post-secondary education, it uses a large-scale reform within the higher education system that gradually transformed former vocational colleges into polytechnics in Finland in the 1990s. This reform created quasi-exogenous variation in the supply of higher education over time and across regions. The results based on multinomial treatment effects models and population register data show that, overall, polytechnic graduates have a significantly highe…

Contents and functions of dramatizations in team decision making

2017

This study examines the contents and functions of dramatizations in natural team decision making. Theoretically, the study employs symbolic convergence theory to understand decision making as a complex phenomenon constructed in symbolic communication. Observational meeting data and thematic interview data from an autonomous team in Finland were analyzed. A fantasy theme analysis and an inductive, rhetorical discourse analysis revealed three rhetorical visions and seven functions of dramatizations in the team’s decision making. Visions represented social, righteous, and pragmatic master analogues. The functions of dramatizations were legitimizing independent and current decisions, reinforci…

L'espace de liberté comme mesure synthétique du développement territorial durable

2011

By discussing the concept of development itself, authors propose two synthetic indexes relying on estimation of potential: Development Space Value and Development Space Creation Under the weak hypothesis that any successful development improves future possibilities, changes in potential are a good development measure. In their path, authors show how development space is tied with freedom: a shrink in it results mechanically in indexes fall. So, "sustainable" and "economic" become two sides of same piece rather than enemies. Reliable in simulations, the approach is to be tested in real conditions, to verify full data availability and to secure calculating methods.

Réalités (ou apparences ?) de l'hyperréalité : une application au cas du tourisme de loisirs

2005

Although hyperreality is not a subject commonly studied in marketing, it characterizes an increasing number of leisure and tourist places. In this article, we build a theoretical model to have a better understanding of this phenomenon in order to define it. This model as well as a study of leisure tourist universes help us to identify the attributes and commercial strategies that are used to create a hyperreal environment. We also explore the strategic opportunities and threats associated with developing hyperreality on commercial grounds.

Séries temporelles et flou

1982

La compréhension de la nature du temps, et de son écoulement, est un problème qui a toujours préoccupé les hommes L'idée que l'on se fait du temps est elle-même discutable et discutée, et pas seulement par les philosophes. Tout agent, dans l'activité qu'il déploie est amené à se poser, même implicitement, cette question. En effet, le temps nous est compté. Toute action doit le prendre en considération. La valeur des produits humains en dépend. Il faut toujours ramener une production, voire même une consommation, au temps qu'il a fallu pour la réaliser. Nul n'y échappe, ni dans ses loisirs, ni dans son travail. Mais c'est dans ce dernier que les instruments de mesure qui introduisant le temp…
