Loneliness of seniors in long-term care institutions and COVID-19 restrictions
2022
The ageing of society is a significant social and economic challenge in the 21st century Europe. The article analyses loneliness and social isolation among seniors in long-term care (LTC) institutions, as well as how COVID-19 restrictions influence their social isolation. Loneliness and social isolation are different phenomena, but they are interconnected. The feeling of loneliness is a person’s psychological state, but it is especially exacerbated among seniors. Loneliness is closely linked to the deficit of social relations. The study employs a mixed methods approach: a survey using the UCLA Loneliness Scale and semi-structured interviews with social workers in LTC institutions during the…
From Face-to-Face to Online UDeL Camps: Supporting Staff at Higher Education Institutions in Developing Universal Design for eLearning (UDeL)
2021
The TINEL Project is running a series of camps for staff at higher education institution to support them in developing inclusive eLearning. The first camp was conducted face-to-face, but the coronavirus pandemic meant that the second camp was conducted online. This created a case study in inclusive eLearning in itself and allowed us to experience and reflect on the challenges and opportunities of inclusive online teaching and learning. This paper presents the structure and content of the two camps, our reflections on moving from a face-to-face to an online situation and our elaboration how the UDL principles apply to eLearning to create Universal Design for eLearning (UDeL). We found that b…

Foires et marchés à Auxerre aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles
1998
Fairs and markets in Auxerre in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. In addition to numerous "ordinary" and "solemn" markets, there are two fairs during the Middle Ages in Auxerre : the fair in Chandemai which is the largest commercial envent, and the fair in Tannet whose existence after the thirteenth century seems doubtful. Agricultural, meat, fishery and forestry products, as well as finished and semi-finished crafted goods can be found there. The activities of change which were strictly "controlled", as well as lending developped. The role of the fairs in Auxerre was essentially that of regional redistribution. For a long time the fairs and markets in Auxerre were the subject of a stru…
Paul Bert et l'instruction publique
2001
Paul Bert (1833-1886) a été professeur de physiologie à la Sorbonne, membre de l'Académie des sciences, député républicain, ministre de l'Instruction publique et des Cultes du gouvernement Gambetta, et résident général au Tonkin et en Annam. Il a participé à tous les degrés de la réforme de l'enseignement, et a surtout été avec Jules Ferry, le fondateur de l'école gratuite, laïque et obligatoire. Partisan de la laïcité, il a lutté, au nom de la liberté de conscience, pour la suppression de l'enseignement religieux et l'introduction de l'instruction civique et morale. Ce combat de la laïcisation a été en même temps celui mené contre le cléricalisme. Il a également voulu fonder l'école de la …

La festa barocca a Palermo : città, architetture, istituzioni
2006
La festa barocca a Palermo costituisce l’alter ego effimero e occasionale del processo di monumentalizzazione, graduale e complesso, della città: entrambi obbediscono alle stesse esigenze di ufficialità e magnificenza, da soddisfare obbligatoriamente nell’ottica di una città capitale. L’autorevole regista delle grandi manifestazioni ufficiali è il Senato palermitano, al quale come massima istituzione della città è affidata in genere la responsabilità sia dell’organizzazione materiale, sia dell’elaborazione culturale del programma celebrativo, in particolare della festa annuale in onore di S. Rosalia.In Palermo the baroque festival is the ephemeral and occasional alter ego of monumentalisati…
Non-IFRS and changes in accounting institutions : Lessons from Nokia
2022
We analyse the lessons learned from Nokia to illustrate the changing focus in accounting and organisational practices that affect the perceptions of relevant accounting work and the key measures of success. In the course of an analysis covering 25 years, the introduction of management accounting innovations was first emphasised regarding managerial relevance but were later replaced by financial accounting emphasis and innovations (e.g. non-IFRS reporting). Our data includes public reports, newspaper articles and 21 interviews made between 1996 and 2019. We present a framework for analysing shifts in the focus of accounting. Our case analysis on changing accounting practices, on shifting pe…
