Measuring the perceived value of rural tourism: a field survey in the western Sicilian agritourism sector
2016
Rural tourism constitutes a valuable tool for the sustainable development of many rural areas. This paper examines the concept of perceived value in rural tourism. A quantitative field survey was carried out in some main Western Sicilian holiday farms (agritourisms) during the Spring 2014. A theoretical model of the tourists’ perceived value in this specific context was developed and validated, using a 22-item scale. Using Partial Least Squares Path Modelling a theoretical structural model of the multidimensional structure of the RTPV was tested, assessing intensity and direction of the causal relationships among RTPV and its dimensions. Five dimensions were identified as forming the constr…
Effects of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Passion for Work on Performance Variables in Sports Clubs
2021
Entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work have been widely studied due to their effects on the behaviour and attitude of management teams in the short- and long-term. However, despite the influences of these variables on the sustainability and survival of an entity, there is a gap when considering the effects of these two performance variables in sports organisations. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to understand the influences of entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work on service quality and sporting performance. To this end, 199 Spanish non-profit sports clubs were analysed using instruments with good psychometric properties. Data analysis was carried out…
Jørgen Moe : teolog, prest og biskop
2013
Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk Tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tt/2013/03/joergen_moe_-_teolog_prest_og_biskop Jørgen Moe (1813–1882) is best known for his work as a folklorist, but he was also a poet, pastor and finally bishop in the diocese of Kristiansand. This article examines some of the cultural and theological motivations of his ministerial work, based on poems, sermons and documents from his years as a bishop. The article shows how Moe’s aesthetic and pedagogical interests are reflected in this period and how he influenced Norwegian church life through his pupils J. C. Heuch and Gustav Jensen. - Jørgen Moe (1813–1882…
Nuove frontiere nella conservazione della biodiversità: Patrimoni di comunità e assetti fondiari collettivi
2016
L’articolo analizza l’intersezione tra l’esigenza globale di conservazione della biodiversità— tradizionalmente affrontata attraverso la messa in opera di aree protette— e la realtà degli assetti fondiari collettivi nel contesto italiano. Viene presentato il percorso internazionale che ha portato al riconoscimento nell’ambito dell’IUCN e della Convenzione sulla Biodiversità dell’efficacia delle forme di gestione sostenibile delle risorse naturali praticate dalle comunità locali e dai popoli indigeni. In Italia tali realtà sono identificate come ‘patrimoni di comunità’ (PdC) ed in gran parte corrispondono agli assetti fondiari collettivi. Vengono proposte due modalità di classificazione di t…
Teachers’ pedagogical and relational identity negotiation in the Finnish CLIL context
2017
Abstract This study explores the professional identity of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) teachers in Finnish primary education. It aims at explaining how CLIL teachers negotiate their pedagogical and relational identity, and how identity agency is exercised in negotiating a more encompassing professional identity. Thematic analysis of thirteen interviews outlines the bi-directional process of identity negotiation between personal and professional resources, and social contexts at work. The results highlight a connection between professional identity and agency, and suggest that identity negotiation is a process of working and sharing with others, but also individually.
Approaching pedagogical language knowledge through student teachers: assessment of second language writing
2015
The article examines student teachers' pedagogical language knowledge. The analysis is based on data from an applied task in which Finnish student teachers (n = 221) of 16 school subjects assessed second language (SL) learners' writing skills. First, we briefly discuss subject teachers' role in language and literacy teaching in the multilingual and multicultural classroom. Our findings indicate that the student teachers use a range of criteria but focus mainly on word-level assessment when assessing writing samples, and that their assessment orientation varies from technical to analytical. Finally, we discuss the challenges of developing teacher education to promote pedagogical language kno…
New Insights Into Causal Pathways Between the Pediatric Age-Related Physical Activity Decline and Loss of Control Eating: A Narrative Review and Prop…
2020
Research consistently suggests that loss of control (LOC) eating in children and adolescents is a key factor contributing to pediatric obesity and eating disorders. However, causes of pediatric LOC eating are yet unclear, and there is a lack of longitudinal research investigating the developmental processes contributing to LOC eating and related outcomes in youth. Physical activity is an understudied behavior that declines during middle childhood to adolescence and may exert an influence in the development of LOC eating via its impact on executive functioning. While physical activity levels and executive functioning have been linked to regulation of eating, no research has examined the mech…
Peer selection and influence : Students’ interest-driven socio-digital participation and friendship networks
2020
Digital technologies have been increasingly embedded in students’ everyday lives. Interest-driven socio-digital participation (ISDP) involves students’ pursuit of interests mediated by computers, social media, the internet, and mobile devices’ integrated systems.ISDPis likely to intertwine closely with young people’s social networks that has been scarcely studied quantitatively. To close this gap, the present paper investigated students’ peer selection and influence effects of the intensity of their ISDP and friendship networks. We collected two-wave data by administering a peer nomination to trace students’ friendship networks with peers and a self-reported questionnaire to examine student…
Du « socialisme de cœur » zolien, ou comment être considéré en même temps comme « socialiste » et « ennemi du peuple »
2020
When Germinal was published in 1885, the critic classified Zola as a “socialist” writer. The author himself used this adjective many times referring to his work. At the same time, he didn’t know Marxism and was a resolute opponent to revolution, equality and the government by the people. The paper aims to explain some aspects of Zola’s “socialism” taking into account his origins, his youth experiences and the evolution of his works. This might help to understand the particular meaning done to the term by the writer. Suite à la publication de Germinal en 1885, la critique a classé Zola comme un écrivain « socialiste ». Le romancier lui-même a utilisé ce qualificatif plusieurs fois en parlant…
Estrés percibido y felicidad auténtica a través del nivel de actividad física en jóvenes universitarios
2020
Se ha demostrado en la literatura que el estrés y la felicidad se han relacionado de diversas maneras, y estas a su vez, también se relacionan con la práctica de actividad física (AF). El objetivo de este trabajo fue poner a prueba el papel de la AF en la reducción del estrés y el aumento de la felicidad, así como su rol mediador en la relación entre ambas variables. Concretamente, se pusieron a prueba las siguientes hipótesis: 1) la percepción del estrés (con o sin control de la situación estresante) y la felicidad auténtica difieren en función del nivel de AF; 2) a mayor práctica de AF, mayor percepción de control en la situación estresante y menor percepción de sentirse sobrepasado por l…
