Taking historical embeddedness seriously : Three historical approaches to advance strategy process and practice research
2016
International audience; Despite the proliferation of strategy process and practice research, we lack understanding of the historical embeddedness of strategic processes and practices. In this paper, we present three historical approaches with the potential to remedy this deficiency. First, realist history can contribute to a better understanding of the historical embeddedness of strategic processes; in particular, comparative historical analysis can explicate the historical conditions, mechanisms, and causality in strategic processes. Second, interpretative history can add to our knowledge of the historical embeddedness of strategic practices, and microhistory can specifically help to under…
Simulation of photovoltaic installation connected to the grid with storage system
2017
Abstract In the present paper, a new approach for the management of energy resources in a research laboratory is proposed and evaluated. A simulation study for the photovoltaic (PV) installation was conducted under the Tunisian-Italian cooperation project DE.DU.ENER.T, using renewable energy and economic criteria. The aim of the study is to improve the energy efficiency in order to minimize the electricity cost consumed in the laboratory. A Hybrid Renewable Energy System consisting of a photovoltaic field of 12KWc was installed to reduce the exorbitant bills, due to intensive energy equipment such as drying ovens and workstations, using sustainable, green and clean sources. In addition, a s…
Positional goods and social welfare: a note on George Pendleton Watkins’ neglected contribution
2018
Watkins's analysis of adventitious utility contains many aspects that are connected to the contemporary debate on positional goods. First, Watkins adventitious utility emerges from a process of social exclusion and can create negative externalities, in the sense that positive consumption of one individual implies negative consumption by another individual. Not only it creates negative externalities on other individuals, but it can initiate a race-to-the-bottom, where individuals waste an increasing amount of money on goods which do not possess any real utility.
Le monastère Saint-Pierre d'Osor (île de Cres) : septième campagne d'études archéologiques
2013
The 2012 campaign of the archaeological research project permitted the exhaustive excavations of the immediate surroundings of the southern nave of the abbey church of St Peter in Osor. The richness and the complexity of the discovered structures confirmed the great archaeological potential of this sector. Namely, a funeral zone that is situated south to the church is occupied by two buildings perpendicular to the church which we interpret as a mausoleum (the one on the west) and a chapel with one privileged burial (the one on the east). The great number of built tombs or simples graves confirmed that this sector had funeral function even before the XIth century and the construction of the …
Esquisse d'un paysage monastique insulaire dans le nord de l'Adriatique : l'archipel du Kvarner (Croatie)
2013
The authors of the article set as their goal the examination of the complex question of early Monasticism (up to the 11th century) in the Kvarner region, reconsidering the old archaeological data, the unpublished ancient results and the results of new archaeological surveys gathered since 2010 through the specific research program. The first difficulty encountered is that of the actual identification of the archaeological remains as a monastic or hermitic site, given the lack of any written source for most of the sites. We examine here a certain number of religious sites, potentially monastic ones, considering their larger context of implantation, their patron, and/or their vicinity to a by…
Rituales de terminación y consumo en el Palacio 6J2 de La Blanca: una perspectiva zooarqueológica del Clásico Terminal en el Petén guatemalteco
2021
La Blanca es un asentamiento urbano localizado en el Peten guatemalteco, que jugo un papel importante en la antiguedad debido a su ubicacion estrategica en la cuenca del rio Mopan. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de los estudios zooarqueologicos de un conjunto de materiales correspondientes al periodo Clasico Terminal (850-1000 d.C), una epoca socialmente convulsa y en la que la elite de La Blanca abandono la ciudad y nuevos moradores ocuparon las estancias palaciegas. La fauna estudiada procede de la excavacion del ala sur del Palacio 6J2 de la Acropolis y representa una oportunidad unica para identificar el uso ritual de la fauna en un periodo de crisis social y economica. Asi…

Un questionnaire sur les archives des sciences humaines et sociales en France
2006
Depuis une decennie au moins, plusieurs demarches ponctuelles ont porte l’attention sur l’importance d’une discussion sur les archives des sciences sociales et sur l’urgence de mesures conservatoires pour sauvegarder un patrimoine scientifique menace. Ces initiatives se prolongent aujourd’hui dans une demarche plus large, nationale, qui mobilise les etablissements de recherche et d’enseignement et les Archives nationales. La Maison des sciences de l’homme de Dijon a entrepris l’elaboration d’un inventaire des gisements conserves en France dans le domaine des sciences humaines et sociales en etablissant le questionnaire que nous proposons ici.
Care and reunification in a Cape Verdean family: Changing articulations of family and legal ties
2018
This article looks at the interaction between transnational family relationships, on the one hand, and family-related immigration policies, on the other. Taking the conflicting concerns that arose between administrative decision-makers and family members during an attempt to reunite a Cape Verdean family spread across several countries as an example, the questions of what ‘family’ means, what relationships are included and the nature of the relationships involved answered differently by different actors will be shown. The article discusses the way in which the regulation of transnational mobility according to specific categories of eligibility is giving social ties a concrete legal form whi…
