Ville et fortifications : de l'héritage à la production du territoire urbain

2015

A large number of french cities host military historical edifices (citadels, barracks, bastions, defensive walls, etc.). Although their initial defensive functions have been lost over time, these edifices remain deeply rooted in the urban fabric of their host cities. They continue exerting an impact on these cities’ urban morphology and modern-time functions as well as the way in which the concept of city is understood. Cities nowadays face some new challenges,the increasing awareness of urban sprawl and its consequences, coupled with an urge to promote a renewed and sustainable urbanism, invites us to adopt new approaches to study urban fortifications. In addition to their symbolic aspect,…

Gerontologian professori emeritus Eino Heikkinen kuoli kotonaan Helsingissä jouluaaton aattona 2022. Hän oli suomalaisen nykygerontologian tienraivaaja, jonka näkemyksellisyys ja rohkeat avaukset vaikuttivat suuresti ikääntymistutkimuksen kehitykseen ja instituutioihin. nonPeerReviewed

The Concept of Love in Masculinist Blogs : A Strategic Ideal

2018

Love is often considered a positive emotion and an ethical relationship between people. The representations of love in contemporary culture usually emphasise its beneficial, even empowering effects. However, the fluidity of the concept also enables other kinds of representations of love to flourish. For example, the advocates of traditional gender order — masculinists or male rights activists (MRAs)-— use idealistic images of heterosexual love, often intertwined with the idealised heterosexual nuclear family, to promote repressive ideologies such as misogyny and antifeminism. This is increasingly done with the help of internet sites. In this chapter I wish to show that the fluidity of the c…

Do irresponsible corporate activities prevent membership in sustainable stock indices? The case of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index world

2021

Abstract The study analyses the real-life results from the DJSI World selection process and investigates whether companies are treated differently because of sectoral or geographical diversification needs of the index; furthermore, the question whether its methodology penalises ESG-related irresponsible corporate activities is investigated. The last is an important issue, as it is not unusual to find constituents of sustainable indices implicated in corporate scandals. This is a striking fact, contradicting the ethical and sustainable imperative such companies are supposed to comply with. The authors scrutinise data from a data panel containing 2872 firms between 2011 and 2016 and estimate …

Motivations and domain specificity in intercultural adaptation : bloggers' experiences in their new host countries

2014

The current qualitative study investigates immigrant’s intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external) motivations and how they surface in the intercultural adaption process. Additionally, it aims to answer whether immigrant’s adaptation orientations differ between private and public (life) domains by testing Boski’s (2008) IAFS model [the model of integration as functional(partial) specialization]. It is a fairly recent model of adaptation and only few prior studies have utilized it. The study concentrates on voluntary migrants, individuals, who have made a personal choice to leave their homelands. In the current study naturally occurring data in a form of weblogs were utilized as research d…

Logit analysis in L2 research: measuring L1 and L2/Ln effects

1998

In quantitatively oriented L2 studies, we normally contrast two phenomena at a time, both at the group and individual level. However, it is generally acknowledged that what a learner produces is determined by a multitude of factors influencing the interlanguage (IL) simultaneously. When dealing with discrete, nominal categories, the numerical and causal relations between the variables involved cannot be adequately captured in an analysis where the phenomenon to be studied and the explanatory factors are subjected to a series of pairwise statistical tests. Instead of the two-variable approach, multivariate techniques should be applied, since they allow for the examination of the effects of m…

Eclogites and Garnet Pyroxenites: Problems Resolving Provenance Using Lu-Hf, Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr Isotope Systems

2010

Cratonic eclogites and garnet pyroxenites from the Kaapvaal craton have heterogeneous Hf^Nd^Sr^(O) isotope ratios that define a positive Hf^Nd isotope array and a negative Nd^Sr isotope array. Isotopic variability encompasses depleted (mid-ocean ridge basalt and ocean-island basalt) to enriched mantle compositions (Group I and II kimberlites) and overlaps with that of the Kaapvaal craton garnet peridotite xenoliths. Isotopic heterogeneity at Roberts Victor is less extreme than previously reported and ranges from eclogites with a highly depleted MORB-like signature to enriched eclogites similar to Group II and transitional kimberlites and Group II megacrysts (eHf1⁄4 ^32·8). Much of this simi…

Diffusion versus recrystallization processes in Rb–Sr geochronology: Isotopic relics in eclogite facies rocks, Western Gneiss Region, Norway

2008

Abstract Rb–Sr and U–Pb isotopic data for granulite facies rocks, forming textural relics with respect to eclogite facies metamorphism in the Western Gneiss Region (WGR) of Norway, highlight the importance of textures and mineral reaction kinetics for the interpretation of geochronological data. Studied rocks from Bardsholmen, southern WGR, were subjected to granulite facies metamorphism at 955 ± 3 Ma (U–Pb, zircon). Later on, they experienced a subduction-related, kinetically stranded eclogitization ( T  > 650 °C at ∼20 kbar) at 404 ± 2 Ma (Rb–Sr multimineral internal isochron data), followed by exhumation through amphibolite facies conditions. Full conversion of granulite to eclogite was …

Representationer av löpning i svenskspråkiga löparbloggar

2015

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten juoksuharrastusta representoidaan ruotsinkielisissä juoksublogeissa. Aineistona toimi 131 blogikirjoitusta, jotka on julkaistu kolmen taustoiltaan ja juoksutottumuksiltaan erilaisen juoksuharrastajan blogeissa tammi–kesäkuussa 2015. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena viitekehyksenä toimivat Giddensin ja Schillingin sosiologiset teoriat, joiden mukaan ruumis on myöhäismodernissa yhteiskunnassa elävälle ihmiselle projekti, jota toteuttamalla ihminen rakentaa identiteettiään. Vertailupohjana tutkimuksen tuloksille käytettiin juoksumotiiveja ja juoksun merkityksiä koskevia tutkimuksia. Tutkimuksen menetelmä pohjautuu Fairclough'n kriittisen diskurssia…
