Educational Publishers and Educational Publishing
2018
This chapter focuses on the institutional originators of educational materials for primary and secondary education. On the basis of publications from recent decades up to the present, it gives an overview of insights about textbook publishers (as they can be called for short) from different disciplines, from subject field didactics to media linguistics. These insights are categorised in accordance with aspects like organisations, processes, state interventions, and new models for the provision of materials. Moreover, the chapter presents critical positions towards schoolbook publishers with respect to their alleged undue promotion of hegemonic views. Finally, and originally, it takes a rath…
Identifying paths to audience success of media products: the media decision-makers’ perspective
2017
Research on media success factors is a fragmented field. Definitions, measures, and methods vary, and findings are often inconsistent. In an attempt to fill this perceived research gap, we distilled generic success factors of media products from the literature. Guided by theory and empirical findings, these factors were aggregated to complex concepts, building blocks of success that we further investigated in an exploratory qualitative study. We found that the building blocks are applicable to all types of media, independent of seriality and content types of media products. Subsequently the research question of this article is: Which building blocks of success are most important for media p…
Does a Crisis Change News Habits? A Comparative Study of the Effects of COVID-19 on News Media Use in 17 European Countries
2021
Abstract: Exogenous shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic unleashes multiple fundamental questions about society beyond public health. Based on the classical concept of 'need for orientation' and the literature on the role of the media in times of crisis, we investigate to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic affected news consumption in comparative perspective. Based on a two-wave panel survey in 17 mostly European countries, our study targets the role of both legacy news brands (TV, radio, newspapers) and so-called contemporary news media (Internet-based and social media) during this global health crisis. Our results show an overall rise of news use across countries, but only for some types of n…
Evaluación de competencias en redacción científica tras dos modalidades diferentes de cursos de formación: protocolo del Estudio SCRIU-B
2021
La redacción de artículos científicos es una de las competencias necesarias y solicitadas por los profesionales de la salud. Existen distintos formatos de cursos para adquirirlas, pero no siempre se evalúa objetivamente su impacto.

Se incluye un grupo control con alumnado de otras actividades formativas no relacionadas con la escritura científica. Mediante distintos cuestionarios de evaluación de conocimientos, actitudes …
Blisters and calluses from rowing : prevalence, perceptions and pain tolerance
2022
Background and Objectives: Rowing is a sport that involves constant gripping, pulling/pushing, and rotational movements of the hands, in a cyclic periodic manner with every stroke, with hundreds of strokes being taken within a short period of time. Dermatological issues on rowers’ hands (fingers and palms) in the form of blisters and calluses are common knowledge within the community, but their prevalence and the rower’s perceptions and pain tolerance to them has never been systematically evaluated. This work addresses these lacunae. Materials and Methods: Analysis of data collected from a survey on a sample of competitive (117) and noncompetitive rowers (28) who row on-water (total 145). R…

Sanctuaries and rural settlements along the Roman road Lyon-Trier on the civitates of the Lingoni
2015
From a memory of a master on the study of the material from the sanctuary of Beire-le-Châtel "The Pâtis the Letto" as well as new studies such as material from the fanum Lux "Le Bois Giraud", the objective of this thesis is to understand the people who live along the Roman road Lyon - Trier on the civitates of the Lingoni et go on these places of worship. The material found in these sanctuaries was confronted with one of the rural settlements to distinguish local attendance and passing travelers. Finally, the study allows to emphasize the role of settlements - administrative center of the city and secondary towns - and communication routes in the genesis of Lingones’ places of worship but a…
