Regional Economics Tools applied to Sport: New Perspectives

2007

This article shows how some regional economics tools, which are not very well known, can be used in the field of sport. The first part consists of a short summary of the location analysis models. In a second part, we show on a case study, that computable location models can be used to determine the optimal location of sporting facilities in the context of intercommunity. To conclude, some extensions are suggested from a theoretical point of view as well as for empirical applications.

The structure of Antonovsky's Orientation to Life Questionnaire

1998

The present study investigated the structure of Antonovsky's (1987) short-form (13-item) Orientation to Life Questionnaire (OLQ). The OLQ was developed to measure sense of coherence, which consists of three interrelated components: meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability. Confirmatory factor analyses were carried out using data on three occupational groups (technical designers n = 989, teachers n = 1012, managers n = 1035). The factor analysis models were specified and compared in the study: (1) a first-order one-factor model; (2) a first-order correlated-three-factor model; and (3) a second-order model with three first-order factors. The results suggested that the first-order c…

Characterization of impervious layers using scale models and an inverse method

2009

We describe a novel procedure that uses an inverse method to determine unknown parameters for impervious layers used in multilayer structures. The proposed model of the multilayer structure is limited to an ideal double plate separated by an unbonded, fibrous, sound-absorbing material. Experimental data were obtained by nearfield acoustic holography for the calculation of the transmission loss of various multilayer structures mounted in a window in a wooden box designed specifically for this purpose. We used the Trochidis and Kalaroutis forecast model of acoustic insulation for multilayer structures, which is based on a spatial Fourier transform. The experimental pressure and velocity data …
