Brand social representations: strategic perspectives for a fitness club
2009
International audience; The aim of this study was to identify an accurate tool to enable fitness club managers to discover those opinions or stereotypes which represent obstacles to joining their organisations. Starting with brand image, the analysis then considered social representations as relevant constructs for apprehending these opinions or prejudices. The use of a word association task and the model of basic cognitive schemes (Rouquette, 1990; 1994) provided access to the salient elements of the social representations of a particular sport brand and the way they are structured. The procedure combining these two stages represented a diagnostic tool for identifying the attractive and un…
Victims, villains or organized community? : discrimination, social exclusion and empowerment in the media representation of urban poverty : case of b…
2012
The purpose of this thesis is to study the media representation of urban poverty in a developing country context, focusing specifically on the connections between media representation and social exclusion. The theoretical-methodological basis of this work draws from critical cultural studies and sociological media research, specifically from the theoretical assumptions of critical discourse analysis about media representation. The premise is the constructionist view that the media does not directly reflect the reality of urban poverty, but constructs journalist reproductions of it from a particular perspective and in a certain social context. Media representation of the subordinated groups …
Swój – Obcy – Inny. Brexit i jego społeczne konsekwencje
2017
The main subject of this article are social consequences of the results of the referendum regarding UK departure from the structures of the European Union. The author focuses on the social repercussions in the perception of British citizens and “foreigners” in the face of potential leave the European community, referred to as “Brexit”. The main focus of the author are still current issues of diversity, division “us” versus “foreigners”, stigma and social exclusion. The author based on the analysis of existing materials and a focus group interview presents how the stereotypical perception of reality can affect the development of mutual prejudices

Street art e rigenerazione urbana? Spazio pubblico e immagini di città oltre le retoriche
2022
Se negli ultimi anni l’interesse e il dibattito sull’arte nello spazio pubblico è crescente - nelle molteplici declinazioni di arte partecipata, partecipativa, engagé - è la street art ad essere oggi il linguaggio visuale prediletto. Una forma di arte urbana che sta diventando virale, connotando lo spazio e situandosi spesso al suo margine, nelle zone al limite. Nata come anti-capitalista e ribelle, considerata da alcuni un fastidio, da altri uno strumento per comunicare opinioni di dissenso, oggi la street art sembra perdere il suo carattere informale e underground per entrare in programmi istituzionali di rigenerazione urbana, promossa da amministrazioni e istituzioni culturali, diventand…
Functional linear models for the analysis of similarity of waveforms
2018
In seismology methods based on waveform similarity analysis are adopted to identify sequences of events characterized by similar fault mechanism and prop- agation pattern. Seismic waves can be considered as spatially interdependent three dimensional curves depending on time and the waveform similarity analysis can be configured as a functional clustering approach, on the basis of which the member- ship is assessed by the shape of the temporal patterns. For providing qualitative ex- traction of the most important information from the recorded signals we propose an integration of the metadata, related to the waves, as explicative variables of a func- tional linear models. The temporal pattern…

As Capable as Other Students: Tanzanian Women with Disabilities in Higher Education
2015
Globally, persons with disabilities are underrepresented in higher education. In sub-Saharan Africa, where opportunities for higher education are especially limited, women are unlikely to continue their education. This research investigates women in Tanzanian higher education with the double marginalisation of being a woman and having disabilities. The women were interviewed on what factors enabled access and participation for their educational success. A thematic analysis of qualitative data was applied. All of the women interviewed were motivated to complete their degrees. Key enabling factors were encouragement from their families and previous teachers, full participation in student life…
Developing inclusive pre-service and in-service teacher education : Insights from Zanzibar primary school teachers
2017
Developing inclusive teacher education to improve learning and schooling for all children is attracting increasing interest worldwide. This study examined teachers’ insights into the development of inclusive teacher education by drawing on collaborative action research conducted by 20 primary school teachers in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and self-reflective journals kept by the teachers and the first author. The qualitative thematic content analysis revealed: (1) the need to embed inclusive education and action research into pre-service and in-service teacher education curricula and (2) both school-based organisational learning and school–…
