Gradient elasticity and nonstandard boundary conditions
2003
Abstract Gradient elasticity for a second gradient model is addressed within a suitable thermodynamic framework apt to account for nonlocality. The pertinent thermodynamic restrictions upon the gradient constitutive equations are derived, which are shown to include, besides the field (differential) stress–strain laws, a set of nonstandard boundary conditions. Consistently with the latter thermodynamic requirements, a surface layer with membrane stresses is envisioned in the strained body, which together with the above nonstandard boundary conditions make the body constitutively insulated (i.e. no long distance energy flows out of the boundary surface due to nonlocality). The total strain en…
Work stress, fatigue and risk behaviors at the wheel: Data to assess the association between psychosocial work factors and risky driving on Bus Rapid…
2017
This Data in Brief (DiB) article presents a hierarchical multiple linear regression model that examine the associations between psychosocial work factors and risk behaviors at the wheel in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) drivers (n=524). The data were collected using a structured self-administrable questionnaire made of measurements of wok stress (job strain and effort- reward imbalance), fatigue (need for recovery and chronic fatigue), psychological distress and demographics (professional driving experience, hours driven per day and days working per week). The data contains 4 parts: descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations between the study variables and a regression model predicting risk be…
A matter of style? testing the moderating effect of driving styles on the relationship between job strain and work-related crashes of professional dr…
2020
Abstract Different empirical studies suggest that both job strain and driving styles are significant contributors to the work-related traffic crashes suffered by professional drivers. Nevertheless, the current evidence falls considerably short when explaining why driving styles may modify (or not) the relationship between occupational stressors and professional drivers’ safety outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine whether driving styles moderate the effect of job strain on professional drivers’ Work Traffic Crashes (WTCs). This research was performed using the data collected from a sample of 753 professional drivers, responding to a self-report questionnaire on job strain (work str…
Self-reported playing time and justice as predictors of coach satisfaction: An analysis of elite ice-hockey and handball players
2020
Intrateam competition for specific roles and playing time is a continuous imperative process in elite sport teams. The assessment of this competition is done by the coach and the outcome of this process has a significant impact on the team and the players. The following hypothesis was put forward for testing: Self-reported playing time and perceptions of justice among elite ice-hockey and handball players predict their satisfaction with the coach. Elite ice-hockey and handball players (N = 231) reported playing time and completed the Perceived Justice and Athlete Satisfaction Questionnaires. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses show that self-reported playing time, distributive justice…

The Financing of Education : An Economic Issue ?
2000
Building on previous contributions on the same topic, this article gives a brief overview of the financial situation of Education in the different regions of the world then focuses on the shortcomings of the traditional treatment of financing issues by economist among them the quasi absence of equity consideration. It ends by discussing the main issues as they can be seen today : extent of the "right to education", demand side approach to education financing, choice between various types of subsides to students.

Le passage à une économie fondée sur la connaissance entraîne-t-il une transformation des contenus de l'éducation ?
2022
International audience; Nos économies sont de plus en plus basées sur la connaissance. Les exigences des entreprises sur le marché du travail doivent alors amener les établissements d'enseignement à prêter une attention toute particulière aux contenus de ce qui est enseigné. La présentation des résultats d'une recherche empirique internationale originale, menée auprès de diplômés de l'enseignement supérieur, permet de préciser les compétences les plus recherchées dont celles qui concourent à l'innovation. L'auteur souligne ainsi, au-delà de l'influence des variables traditionnelles, l'importance des compétences en informatique, de la pratique d'une langue étrangère, de la maîtrise du raison…
