Taking care of their positive online face? Reasons and strategy development
2020
This paper examines a peer virtual exchange project between students at the University of Cyprus and the University of Latvia. The main purpose of this project is to develop intercultural awareness. Through telecollaborative tasks, students are asked to interact in a common discussion space around elements related to their cultural values. The aim of this paper is to discuss students’ strategies for these online exchanges. The hypothesis this paper seeks to examine is that students do not express themselves freely in the discussion forums in order to protect their personal and national image. We are thus interested in the public self-image of the students, known as ‘face’. Our findings iden…

Le corps vécu chez la personne âgée et la personne handicapée
2010
Consacre a l’experience du corps vecu chez les personnes en situation de dependance, ainsi qu’aux representations qui peuvent conduire a l’obliterer, cet ouvrage comporte une part non negligeable de temoignages. Il s’agit de stimuler la reflexion sur la difference entre l’experience reelle des personnes et celle qu’on leur prete. L’etude du handicap et du vieillissement permet par ailleurs d’interroger les limites de notre tolerance, et de l’experience meme que nous faisons de notre propre corps : comment definirions-nous notre propre intimite ? notre autonomie ?Le corps vecu tel que nous l’eprouvons n’est en effet pas reductible a la connaissance anatomique et physiologique que nous en don…

History of Data Centre Development
2012
International audience; Computers are used to solve different problems. For solving these problems computer software and hardware are used, but for operations of those computing facilities a Data Centre is necessary. Therefore, development of the data centre is subordinated to solvable tasks and computing resources. We are studying the history of data centres’ development, taking into consideration an understanding of this. In the beginning of the computer era computers were installed in computing centres, because all computing centres have defined requirements according to whom their operation is intended for. Even though the concept of ‘data centre’ itself has been used since the 1990s, t…
