Metaphors of Mixed Team Play
1994
This text deals with the question of "translating women" into the configuration of team sports. In this perspective, genders are defined as social faces - embodied and numbered in various social sites/discourses. Genders are perceived as reciprocal face-rituals; through these rituals participants claim and negotiate the social faces appropriate to each sex. The approach adds face and number as relevant dimensions to the sociological analyses of gendered sport.
Uma Sistematização dos Estudos Nacionais em Psicologia Ambiental
2019
A Psicologia Ambiental (PA) é uma disciplina que se propõe a estudar a inter-relação entre pessoa-ambiente, a partir da perspectiva de que ambos estão inseridos em um sistema de mútua influência. Ressalta-se que esta pesquisa sucedeu no Laboratório de Psicologia Ambiental (LAPAM/UFSC). Com o objetivo de refletir acerca dos fundamentos epistemológicos dos estudos pessoa-ambiente, este estudo realizou uma análise da produção científica de artigos relacionados com o tema, disponíveis nas bases de dados Scielo, Pepsic, Indexpsi, BVS, LILACS. Utilizou-se os descritores pessoa, ambiente e psicologia ambiental, selecionados segundo os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS). A partir da amostra na…
Geographies of markets: Materials, morals and monsters in motion
2010
Approaching processes of capitalist market exchange from a cultural economic perspective, we identify three strands of research that are all part of a widespread ‘pragmatic turn’ in the study of economic activities: (1) the conceptualization of markets as heterogeneous arrangements of people, things and sociotechnical devices; (2) the insight that multiple frames of reference are mobilized in everyday market activities in addition to instrumental rationality; and (3) approaches that combine an interest in the performance of diversity and difference in concrete market contexts with an attention to mobility in network capitalism.
Theorising about barriers to open e-learning systems in public administrations
2018
Abstract Barriers to the general use of e-learning technology are known across various contexts. Despite increasing efforts to clarify the range of these barriers, few efforts have been made to advance the theorising about them and, thus, to answer why and how they unfold. This study is motivated to overcome this unaddressed problem and develops a process model based on adaptive structuration theory (AST) and the punctuated socio-technical change model (PSIC). It represents how barriers unfold between actors, technology, and organisational properties in public administrations. The PaSIC model provides a new perspective on how critical incidents drive the emergence and progress of barriers t…
Information Streaming Systems: A Review
2018
Ubiquitous nature of information determines continuous decision making always based on its stream coming from the environment, not only in the human, but also in the animal world. Communication between the users of information system is a fundamental concept for acquiring, showing, spreading, sharing and constantly increasing the knowledge about the circumstances under which they are in need to make a move all alone as well as while working in groups. In this paper, we review information stream-based systems on amount of information acceptable to facilitate the process of decision making, also in multilingual settings. We analyze the information system objects and the resource management cy…
Testing the direct and moderator effects of the stressor-detachment model over one year : A latent change perspective
2018
ABSTRACTTo test the direct and moderator effects of the stressor–detachment model from a long-term perspective, we investigated whether workload and detachment are related to changes in exhaustion and sleep difficulties over one year. We also examined whether detachment attenuates the relationship between high workload and these outcomes both cross-sectionally and over time. Questionnaire data with 1722 respondents at Time 1 and 1182 respondents at Time 2 were collected. We used a latent change score approach to analyse the data in order to identify intra-individual change among the studied constructs. Our results showed that high workload and low detachment at baseline were related to an i…
Investing in Sports Facilities: The Italian Situation Toward an Olympic Perspective. Confidence Intervals for the Financial Analysis of Pools
2015
Given the current economic crisis, there is a lack of investments also for public sport facilities, which are vital to the urban quality of the city and the quality of life of its citizens. The situation is serious in Italy, especially after the failure of public policies for funding of major events (World Cup, 1990; Winter Olympics, 2006). Some recent laws (147/2013) have revived the sector with particular atten-tion to the medium size facilities but have neglected the small structures that represent the basic activities. In case of the latter, a convergence of objectives is needed between public administrations and private investors. Therefore, public au-thorities should think in terms of…
State Space-Vector Model of Linear Induction Motors Including Iron Losses Part I: Theoretical Analysis
2018
This is the first part of a paper, divided into two parts, dealing with the definition of a space-vector dynamic model of the linear Induction motor (LIM) taking into consideration both the dynamic end-effects and the iron losses and its off-line identification. This first part specifically treats the theoretical formulation of this model, which has been expressed in a state form, so to be, in perspective, suitably adopted for developing novel non linear control techniques, non-linear observers as well as electrical losses minimization techniques (ELMTs). Besides the formulation of the dynamic model in space-vector state form, a steady-state analysis is proposed, highlighting the combined e…
What drives willingness to purchase and stated buying behavior toward organic food? A Stimulus–Organism–Behavior–Consequence (SOBC) perspective
2021
Abstract The consumption of organic food is gaining ground globally due to consumers’ concerns for personal health and food safety. Several countries, such as Japan, are turning their focus to promoting organic food consumption, but research is scarce on Japan’s organic food market. Additionally, despite consumers’ positive predisposition, retail sales in Japan for organic food are low, and there is a need to understand the reason for this disparity. The present study addressed this need by examining factors that may drive consumers’ willingness to purchase (WTP) and stated buying behavior (SBB) toward organic food through the Stimulus–Organism–Behavior–Consequence (SOBC) paradigm. The deve…
Comparing the legal treatment of employee-created intellectual and industrial property from a labour law perspective
2020
Under Spanish law, different intellectual creations, including those by employees, may be dealt with differently from a legal perspective. Works with authors' rights are regulated by the Spanish intellectual property law. In contrast, inventions made under a labour relationship, which may be used for industrial purposes, are regulated by industrial property laws and are thus governed by the Spanish patent and brands law. From a labour law perspective, this paper compares the two bodies of legislation to identify and justify the similarities and differences. The shortcomings of the legislation are highlighted and proposals for resolving these shortcomings are suggested based on synergies bet…
