El aprendizaje-servicio es una estrategia metodológica que combina la formación teórica en un ámbito de conocimiento con su aplicación a través de la prestación de un s…

Mediated by the giants: Tracing practices, discourses, and mediators of platform isomorphism in a media organization

2022

News media are increasingly interwoven with social media platforms. Building on institutional theory, we trace the repercussions of the platform infrastructure inside a media organization by focusing on organizational discourses and practices in connection with the journalistic use of social media. The empirical material includes interviews, field notes, chat logs, and documents collected from a public service media organization during a 6-month on-site and virtual ethnography. The findings show how platform pressures intertwine with content production, audience representation, journalistic values, and organizational development, thus manifesting the infrastructuralization and institutional…

La suprema giurisdizione nella Sardegna moderna. Travagli della Real Audiencia (1564-1651)

2019

The institution of the Real Audiencia in the kingdom of Sardinia since the 1560s is part of a wider process which saw the rise and development of royal supreme courts of justice in several European countries of the early modern period. In fact, major State formation processes all around Europe required that monarchs increased their control on local authorities and that new increasingly centralised systems of judicial review gained precedence over all particular jurisdictions, feudal as well as municipal. This brought about a dramatic transformation in the field of criminal law enforcement and administration of justice.

Institutions et mécanismes de gouvernance des transactions :

2013

Institutions and governance mechanisms for transactions : the case of logging in Cameroon Following Masahiko Aoki (2010), we postulate that transactions between actors integrate not only an economic dimension but also a social dimension. This means that transactions’ equilibrium cannot be analyzed only in economic terms. They also include relational aspects that we define as social aspects. Through the study of a local forestry exploitation in Cameroon compared with a communal forestry exploitation in France, we highlight two crucial factors : the dissociation of the functions of mayor and chief of village and the coexistence of payments in cash and payments in nature. The first factor unde…

Development and validation of an intrinsic capacity composite score in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam: a formative approach

2023

Abstract Background Intrinsic capacity (IC) defined by the WHO refers to the composite of five domains of capacities. So far, developing and validating a standardized overall score of the concept have been challenging partly because its conceptual framework has been unclear. We consider that a person’s IC is determined by its domain-specific indicators suggesting a formative measurement model. Aims To develop an IC score applying a formative approach and assess its validity. Methods The study sample (n = 1908) consisted of 57–88-year-old participants from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA). We used logistic regression models to select the indicators to the IC score with 6-year fu…
