EXPLORING THE INPUT OF COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT TO GOAL-SETTING IN VARIOUS TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS
2018
The aim of the present research is to investigate the existing practices of linking competence assessment to organizational goal-setting in various organisations in Latvia. The importance of linking employee competences to goal-setting within organizations has been established in scientific literature. Nevertheless, there is evidence gathered in this interdisciplinary research that existing methods of competence assessment used by various organizations in Latvia do not translate well into organizational goal-setting. The research is based on information gathered from semi-structured interviews with representatives of managerial positions in private and public, including educational service …
Future of e-Government: An integrated conceptual framework
2021
Abstract The information and hyper-connectivity revolutions have caused significant disruptions in citizens’ interactions with governments all over the world. Failures in implementing e-government interventions suggest the lack of an integrated approach in understanding e-government as a discipline. In this study, we present an overarching and integrated conceptual framework of e-government grounded in robust qualitative research to describe the factors that must be integrated to implement e-government successfully. Drawing insights from 168 in-depth interviews conducted with multiple stakeholders in India, this study defines e-government as a multidimensional construct with customer orient…
Meanings of communication technology in virtual team meetings : framing technology-related interaction
2018
Communication technology is an essential part of virtual teams in working life. This article presents a qualitative study on the meanings of communication technology in virtual team meetings. The study was conducted by examining frames of technology-related virtual team interaction. Observational data was gathered from six expert team meetings. Technology-related communication episodes (N = 88) were identified from team interaction and then analyzed by means of frame analysis. Four frame categories were found: the practical frame, work frame, user frame, and relational frame. Team members talked about technological properties and functions as well as giving and receiving technological guida…
Future language teachers’ pedagogical landscapes during their subject studies
2015
This article examines the experiences, attitudes and perceptions language students have regarding the use of ICT in language teaching. In addition, the article analyses the key characteristics of language students’ pedagogical designs. The data come from a pedagogically oriented subject-studies course that focuses on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and the European Language Portfolio. The data, which consist of language students’ reflections and course plans, have been analysed using qualitative content analysis. The findings imply that language students’ pedagogical landscapes reflect their own experiences as learners. Furthermore, the literacy practices in languag…

Frames und konzeptuelle Metaphern: ein kognitiver Ansatz für die Fachsprachenforschung
2017
International audience; Der Vortrag geht der Frage nach potentiellen kognitiven Ansätzen in der Fachsprachenforschung nach: Nach vielen mehr oder weniger tiefgreifenden Turns wird ja diese linguistische Teildisziplin – wie die Linguistik überhaupt – immer mehr mit kognitiven Fragestellungen und Methodologien konfrontiert, die unter einer Bezeichnung wie Specialized Communication Studies (Schubert 2011) subsumiert werden können.Auf Grund eines Korpus finanzpolitischer Berichte der europäischen Zentralbank (=aus dem Englischen übersetzter Skripte der Pressekonferenzen) und der Bundesbank (= Monatsberichte) soll im Anschluss an Sullivan (2013) gezeigt werden, wie so genannte konzeptuelle Metap…
Territorial Governance and Rural Development: Challenge or Reality?
2020
Governance has emerged as a very solid conceptual framework within which public policies are designed and implemented, but with different added values. It constitutes a truly new institutional culture. Aspects such as the coordination of actors and institutions (and in this context, individual and collective leadership); the integration and articulation of public policies and sectors; the mobilisation, participation and cooperation of stakeholders (networking); or the development of a certain capacity to adapt to changes in the environment, among others, play a fundamental role. Territorial governance provides the added value of the territorial approach, as conceived in the framework of dev…
An innovative moment resisting steel connection: optimal design formulations, practical applications and experimental tests
2023
This thesis concerns the study of an innovative moment resisting connection device to be adopted in the so-called moment resisting steel frames. Following previous seismic events, such as Northridge in 1994, many steel structures characterized by welded connections between beams and columns experienced extended damages and diffused brittle failures, making the facilities unserviceable and economically disadvantageous to repair. The answers to this problem is represented by a large number of studies, where several proposals for different devices, as well as special technical solutions, are available. However, the main idea developed among all the proposals is represented by the identificatio…
Quelles approches cognitives pour les discours spécialisés ?
2018
Doctoral; Cet atelier doctoral part initialement d’une conférence prononcée au département de français de l’Université Craiova (Roumanie) en 2013 et capitalise sur les projets développés depuis à la MSH de Dijon, ainsi que sur les premiers résultats de thèses en cours, en particulier dans le domaine de la linguistique sensorielle.L’objectif est tout d’abord de situer la recherche sur les discours spécialisés au sein des sciences du langage, mais pas seulement, en partant de la proposition de Condamines / Narcy-Combes (2015) pour qui la linguistique appliquée, dont relève traditionnellement les discours spécialisés, est forcément une science située. On en tire les conséquences méthodologique…
Aspects of phosphorus transfer from soils in Europe
2008
Imbalanced nutrient management has caused soil phosphorus (P) to become an environmental rather an agronomic problem in more economically developed countries. This subject has been the topic of numerous journal special issues, conferences, and reviews but we consider yet another review of this subject is necessary with the main target of providing a point of view on non-point transfer from soils and control strategies for an improved environmental management of P. This review considers the causes of the excessive P transfer from soil to surface water in Europe and the scientific knowledge necessary to develop control strategies. There has been an increasing trend towards the P-research inte…
