L’efficacité de la communication pour la marque de destination urbaine. Représentations de touristes et de résidents
2019
Face à la concurrence, l’enjeu des destinations consiste à se différencier en développant une identité spécifique. La communication touristique joue alors un rôle capital dans la formation de l’image touristique de la destination. Toutefois, la multiplication des campagnes de communication des différentes strates territoriales ainsi que la couverture médiatique des divers événements peuvent brouiller l’image des destinations. Les recherches universitaires dans ce domaine étant peu nombreuses, il importe d’étudier l’efficacité de la communication des différentes strates territoriales envers une destination urbaine sous l’éclairage de la théorie des représentations sociales. À partir d’une co…
Diversification in evolutionary arenas - assessment and synthesis
2019
Abstract Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a central issue in evolutionary biology and ecology. The concept of adaptive radiation has attracted much interest, but is metaphorical and verbal in nature, making it difficult to quantitatively compare different evolutionary lineages or geographic regions. In addition, the causes of evolutionary stasis are relatively neglected. Here we review the central concepts in the evolutionary diversification literature and bring these together by proposing a general framework for estimating rates of diversification and quantifying their underlying dynamics, which can be applied across clades and regions and across spat…
Applying the integrated trans-contextual model to mathematics activities in the classroom and homework behavior and attainment
2016
The aim of the present study was to test hypotheses of the trans-contextual model. We predicted relations between perceived autonomy support, autonomous motivation toward mathematics learning activities in an educational context, autonomous motivation toward mathematics homework in an out-of-school context, social-cognitive variables and intentions for future engagement in mathematics homework, and mathematics homework outcomes. Secondary school students completed measures of perceived autonomy support from teachers and autonomous motivation for in-class mathematics activities; measures of autonomous motivation, social-cognitive variables, and intentions for out-of-school mathematics homewo…
Zum Wandel translatorischer Normen. 1930 und 1953 als polnische Übersetzungskontexte von Thomas Manns "Der Zauberberg"
2018
The changes of translation norms. 1930 and 1953 as contexts of the translation of The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. The author presents the preliminary considerations related to a planned study the purpose of which is to reconstruct the history of the Polish translation of Der Zauberberg (The Magic Mountain) by Thomas Mann and examine its impact on the Polish reception of the work. Since each of the two parts of the novel were translated by different translators and because the second volume was translated twice (in 1930 and 1953), the translation contexts are very significant. The concept of context is presented in conjunction with the historically variable understanding of translation st…
Social accounting and its contribution to society
2013
With the development of the society and its economic system, a need has emerged to develop accounting as well. The increasing role of social accounting, which keeps records of for-profit, non-profit, and governmental organisations, is associated with the complexity of the environment in which businesses and organisations are operating and presenting reports about their social, ethical, and environmental aspects. Organisations are subject to greater transparency, and many stakeholders are interested in and concerned about the performance of organisations within the context that is not reflected, to a satisfactory extent, in traditional accounting. Traditional accounting ensures reporting to …
La tratta degli esseri umani. Nessi vischiosi fra vulnerabilità e violenza di prossimità
2021
La definizione di “tratta di esseri umani”, adottata dal Protocollo delle Nazioni Unite, descrive con chiarezza come la comunità internazionale abbia tratteggiato i concetti di vittima e di sfruttatore. Nonostante lo sforzo definitorio del Protocollo, questo articolo evidenzia una zona grigia nella relazione fra vulnerabilità e violenza di prossimità che rende possibile lo sfruttamento consensuale della vittima da parte del trafficante e la stessa difficoltà a delimitarne i contorni nelle aule di giustizia. L’articolo analizza il concetto di vulnerabilità, in relazione con quello di violenza di prossimità, e sviluppando in una specifica accezione di “vulnerabilità prossimale” che si rende e…
Gender Trends in Tourism Destination
2013
Abstract The tourism experience was perceived traditionally in terms of products, destinations and consumption patterns. The “new mobility turn” sees the holiday experience as “performance”, “surveillance”, “play”, relationships “at-a-distance”, the impermanence of “sandcastles”, place making, etc. Gale (2007) stated five principles of this turn in tourism: it studies the mobility of individuals; it acknowledges material and immaterial structures; it deals with immobility and power relations; it recognizes virtual and imaginative forms of mobility; and it is concerned with environmental and global consequences. Destinations are not perceived now as fixed unities but as“sandcastles” made of …
When Investment in Basic Skills Gives Negative Returns
2017
In recent years, the Norwegian government has invested heavily in improving basic skills in the adult population. Initiatives have included legislation, the introduction of work-based adult education programs, and reforms in schooling. In light of this investment, we explore trends in adult literacy and numeracy, by comparing data from two international surveys of adult skills, conducted in 2003 and 2012. Paradoxically, the proportion of low-performing adults appears to have increased, most significantly in the 16- to 24-year age group and in the foreign-born population. The profile of the lowest performing group has changed in the intervening years. These findings suggest that adult educa…
Global Communication with Icons in Environmental Contexts
2016
Icons are small signs with fixed meanings. Icons are usually context specific. For example in the context of a hotel, the client can often find icons in hotel room books and safety guides. Scandic Hotel chain, for example, currently provides the manual for its safety system in 14 languages. There are at least two major shortcomings of this system: (1) in emergency or panic situations, it is very difficult to find your own language from the leaflet, and (2) there are no Asian languages. There is an obvious need for a global icon-based hotel safety language. In our paper, we introduce an icon-based model, language and mobile application for hotel safety. peerReviewed
