Brand social representations: strategic perspectives for a fitness club
2009
International audience; The aim of this study was to identify an accurate tool to enable fitness club managers to discover those opinions or stereotypes which represent obstacles to joining their organisations. Starting with brand image, the analysis then considered social representations as relevant constructs for apprehending these opinions or prejudices. The use of a word association task and the model of basic cognitive schemes (Rouquette, 1990; 1994) provided access to the salient elements of the social representations of a particular sport brand and the way they are structured. The procedure combining these two stages represented a diagnostic tool for identifying the attractive and un…
Victims, villains or organized community? : discrimination, social exclusion and empowerment in the media representation of urban poverty : case of b…
2012
The purpose of this thesis is to study the media representation of urban poverty in a developing country context, focusing specifically on the connections between media representation and social exclusion. The theoretical-methodological basis of this work draws from critical cultural studies and sociological media research, specifically from the theoretical assumptions of critical discourse analysis about media representation. The premise is the constructionist view that the media does not directly reflect the reality of urban poverty, but constructs journalist reproductions of it from a particular perspective and in a certain social context. Media representation of the subordinated groups …
Grafiskais romāns kā īpaša stāstījuma forma Nataniēla Vesta darbā “Siseņu diena”
2016
Šajā pētnieciskajā darbā tiek aplūkoti veidi kā detalizēti apraksti, jauna pieeja linearitātei un stāstījuma paņēmieni, proti, sadrumstalotība, montāža un vārdu izlaidums, jeb elipse, rada vizualitātes un gleznainības iespaidu modernista tekstā. Nataniēla Vesta romāns „Siseņu diena” ir piemērs tendencei iztēloties, ka teksta radīšanas paņēmienu izraisītie grafiskie efekti, modernisma literatūrā, veido novatorisku vizuāli-tekstuālu stāstījuma veidu, proti, tādu, kurš līdzinās filmai. Pētījuma mērķis ir noteikt kā romāna gleznainība palīdz autoram radīt jaunu stāstījuma veidu. Pētījumā iegūtie rezultāti var tik izmantoti tālākai literārā modernisma vēstures, kā arī Nataniēla Vesta modernista …

il volto della morte: le maschere funerarie della sepoltura dei preti morti di Gangi
2014
riassunto — Le mummie moderne e il signifcato recondito della doppia sepoltura nelle culture mediterranee moderne sono da tempo ampiamente dibattuti. In questo lavoro si discute di una particolare “collezione” di corpi di ecclesiastici, mummifcati ed esposti in un comune montano madonita della Sicilia, Gangi. I corpi, principalmente risalenti al XIX secolo, mummifcati per colatura come nella tradizione del tempo e vestiti degli abiti talari, sono esposti nel piano sottostante della Chiesa Madre, in quella che nella tradizione è detta la “fossa dei parrini” (fossa dei preti). Le mummie, a differenza di altri siti siciliani e mediterranei, sono altresì corredate di sonetto commemorativo e di …
Crescere/Svilupparsi. Teorie e rappresentazioni fra mondo antico e scienze della vita contemporanee
2020
Il volume raccoglie i contributi scientifici di diversi autori, la maggior parte dei quali avevano presentato le loro relazioni già nell'ambito del Convegno di studi intitolato "Memoria scientiae 2019. Crescere/Svilupparsi" (Palermo, 21-23 febbraio 2019) sulle teorie e rappresentazioni della crescita umana e degli altri organismi viventi nel mondo antico (in particolare greco e romano) e nelle moderne scienze della vita. The volume collects the scientific contributions of various authors, most of whom had presented their reports already in the context of the study conference entitled "Memoria scientiae 2019. Grow / Develop" (Palermo, February 21-23, 2019) on theories and representations of …
Special Functions for the Study of Economic Dynamics: The Case of the Lucas-Uzawa Model
2004
The special functions are intensively used in mathematical physics to solve differential systems. We argue that they should be most useful in economic dynamics, notably in the assessment of the transition dynamics of endogenous growth models. We illustrate our argument on the Lucas-Uzawa model, which we solve by the means of Gaussian hypergeometric functions. We show how the use of Gaussian hypergeometric functions allows for an explicit representation of the equilibrium dynamics of the variables in level. In contrast to the preexisting approaches, our method is global and does not rely on dimension reduction.
Representation of Stationary Multivariate Gaussian Processes Fractional Differential Approach
2011
In this paper, the fractional spectral moments method (H-FSM) is used to generate stationary Gaussian multivariate processes with assigned power spectral density matrix. To this aim, firstly the N-variate process is expressed as sum of N fully coherent normal random vectors, and then, the representation in terms of HFSM is used.
Isometries between spaces of multiple Dirichlet series
2019
Abstract In this paper we study spaces of multiple Dirichlet series and their properties. We set the ground of the theory of multiple Dirichlet series and define the spaces H ∞ ( C + k ) , k ∈ N , of convergent and bounded multiple Dirichlet series on C + k . We give a representation for these Banach spaces and prove that they are all isometrically isomorphic, independently of the dimension. The analogous result for A ( C + k ) , k ∈ N , which are the spaces of multiple Dirichlet series that are convergent on C + k and define uniformly continuous functions, is obtained.
Applications in Mathematical Physics
2009
It turns out that pip-space methods have many applications in physics, although they are seldom mentioned as such. To draw on a literary analogy, like Moliere’s Monsieur Jourdain speaking in prose without knowing so, many authors have been using pip-space language without realizing it. In particular, chains or lattices of Hilbert spaces are quite common in many fields of mathematical physics. Some of these applications will be discussed at length in this chapter. To mention a few examples: quantum mechanics, in particular singular interactions (Section 7.1.3), scattering theory (Section 7.2), quantum field theory (Section 7.3), representations of Lie groups (Section 7.4), etc.
