Interculturality in dialogue with practical neurophilosophy

2015

El propósito de este artículo es poner en diálogo el discurso sobre la interculturalidad con el nuevo enfoque de las neurociencias en una posible neurofilosofía práctica. Primero se muestra el significado de la perspectiva de la interculturalidad (a diferencia de multiculturalidad) y se consideran algunos caminos para una posible ética intercultural. Y, en segundo lugar, se reflexiona sobre las posibilidades y límites de la neurofilosofía, y se plantea la cuestión de si las neurociencias pueden alumbrar una neurofilosofía práctica que sea capaz de fundamentar las exigencias éticas de la perspectiva de la interculturalidad antes expuesta. The purpose of this article is to address the discour…

Significant Moments in a Couple Therapy Session: Towards the Integration of Different Modalities of Analysis

2020

This chapter presents a couple therapy session from four different research perspectives: The verbal dialogue was analysed with the Dialogical Investigations of Happenings of Change method, the embodied reactions of each participant were analysed by examining the electrodermal activity of each participant, and nonverbal synchrony was observed between the participants. Stimulated Recall Interviews, conducted individually after the session, were used to gain insights on the participants’ thoughts and feelings concerning particular moments in the session. We wished to determine what could be learned from the embodied reactions of the participants in couple therapy, including whether the data o…

Anatomie du syndicalisme

2021

Railway workers' movements, demonstrations against the reform of the Labour Code, strikes against the new pension system... Collective action by employees regularly polarises social news in France. However, it is not limited to these media phenomena and the disruption of daily life that they cause. It primarily concerns everyday life at work, the participation of employees in the management of companies and administrations and, more broadly, in that of the social protection system. Trade unions have a key role to play in this collective action. This book analyses the evolution of these organisations as vectors of collective action: their successes and failures, their relations with employee…

Towards practical reflexivity in online discussion groups

2017

This paper continues the discussion about student-driven, interactive learning activities in higher education. Using object-oriented activity theory, the article explores the relational aspects of reflexive practice as demonstrated in five online discussions groups to develop students’ conceptual understanding. The purpose of the research is to describe both the process of reflection during online interaction and how practical engagement with the discipline is supported through pedagogical guidance. The students wrote short texts on the practice of health promotion ethics and discussed their perspectives in relation to theory and research. The analysis proved the importance of structural de…

Semantics driven interaction using natural language in students tutoring

2007

The aim of this work is to introduce a semantic integration between an ontology and a chatbot in an Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to interact with students using natural language. The interaction process is driven by the use of a purposely defined ontology. In the ontology two types of conceptual relations are defined. Besides the usual relations, which are used to define the domain's structure, another type of relation is used to define the navigation schema inside the ontology according to the need of managing uncertainty. Uncertainty level is related to student knowledge level about the involved concepts. In this work we propose an ITS for the Java programming language called TutorJ…

“Open Dialogue behind locked doors” – exploring the experiences of patients, family members, and professionals with network meetings in a locked psyc…

2018

This paper explores and describes the experiences of patients, family members, and professionals with the Open Dialogue approach to network meetings at a locked psychiatric hospital unit in Norway. Previous research on Open Dialogue has mostly focused on acute crises in community care contexts. In this article, we discuss the participants’ experiences with Open Dialogue in a new context; that is in an inpatient locked unit. The inpatients are suffering from severe mental illness and might have been admitted to the unit against their will. The study has a qualitative design. Data were collected through a focus group interview with professionals and from written evaluations by patients and th…

Conflicting vocational identities and careers in the sector of tourism

2004

This article investigates the formation of vocational identities of workers in the sector of tourism in the Czech Republic, Greece and Spain. Major challenges and conflicts shape the sector of tourism as a particular labour space. Emerging issues relate to the need for diversifying the offer of services to face seasonality, strategies of entrepreneurial merging and demands for mobility and flexibility of the workforce. For the individual worker, a complex combination of related factors lead to tensions and contradictions, particularly in terms of changes in work organization, flexibility and how vocational identities of workers are shaped. An active policy for social dialogue and the improv…

Labour Mobility in Construction: European Implications of the Laval un Partneri Dispute with Swedish Labour

2006

The accession to the European Union of new member states from central and eastern Europe, with weak trade union movements, poorly developed social dialogue and inferior working conditions, has been viewed as a threat to regulated labour standards in the EU-15. This article examines a high-profile labour dispute arising from the conditions of Latvian construction contract labour in Sweden. The dispute exposes weaknesses in the protective floor of minimum standards offered by the posted workers Directive. It also goes to the core of the debate about the preservation of a ‘European social model’ and the proposed Services Directive.
