The troubled identities in relationship between peers and the role of the viewer
2012
10 th Conference of the European Sociological Association – ESA Social relations in turbulent times GENEVA September 2011 Globalization has dispersed along several different lines of action the historical concepts of war and enemy. Yet globalization has also changed the way in which victims are figuratively and symbolically produced. In other words, both ways of dealing with violence today are dramatically changed, especially in intimate and peer relationship. Today it is instead an ever more worrisome in the dynamics of inner life and redefines the boundaries of each other’s identity and the weights that social actors have in their private life. One of the most striking aspects of these tu…
Precio no monetario percibido en alojamientos e-peer-to-peer. La perspectiva de los huéspedes de Airbnb
2021
[EN] Price is considered as a key variable in predicting buying behavior. However, few studies have focused on how non-monetary price is affected and can affect other components of the consumer endogenous variables. This paper seeks (1) to analyze the effects of antecedents of behavioural price (past experience, the benefits and risks of peer to peer accommodation services) on the guest perceived price, and (2) to determine the effect of this price and past experience on guest intentions. With a sample of 136 Airbnb guests and the use of SEM, results show that past experience, financial risk, and time risk influence the non-monetary perceived price. This price and past experience affect gue…
Caring in space: the boundaries between public and private spaces in Finnish adult foster care homes
2020
AbstractThe purpose of this article is to explore a hybrid community-based form of care for older people called adult foster care. In the article, the nature of the foster care home as a place of care is explored from the foster carers’ point-of-view. It is based on an interview study of 12 foster carers. In this article, the theoretical frameworks from human geography and work–family research are combined in order to analyse the boundaries between private family-life and public work-life in the particular space of the foster care home. The research questions are: What kinds of public and private spaces exist in adult foster care homes? What kinds of boundaries separate (a) the public and p…
The expatriate’s family as a stakeholder of the firm : a responsibility viewpoint
2016
In this paper we argue for the recognition of the expatriate’s family as a stakeholder of the firm during the expatriation. We demonstrate why the expatriate’s family can be regarded as a stakeholder of the parent company and what kind of a stakeholder the family is. Additionally, we argue that the parent company needs to develop and apply a holistic well-being orientation to show stakeholder responsibility in the international assignment (IA) arena. We apply the theory of stakeholder salience to the IA relationship because it provides a theoretical framework for integrating the family into the expatriation process. Yet this theory does not necessarily provide a framework for assessing the …
L’istinto della bellezza. Carlo Scarpa a Palermo. Studi sullo Steri. 1972-1978
2022
Il volume indaga l’istinto di Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) verso la bellezza. Da progettista, Santo Giunta si pone l’obiettivo di comprendere come il maestro veneziano, ritornando a Palermo agli inizi degli anni ‘70, sia riuscito a catturare, nella fisicità dello spazio costruito di palazzo Chiaromonte, detto Steri (Hosterium, palazzo fortificato), le relazioni essenziali tra questa architettura, opera trecentesca, e la città contemporanea. La chiave che l’autore ci offre per decifrare quest’opera di Scarpa è il cammino, l’immergersi passo dopo passo nell’architettura, in un percorso-discorso peripatetico. Il maestro veneziano, per lo Steri, ha innescato un processo di rivitalizzazione basato s…
The impact of ideological positions and personal attributes of candidates in intraparty competition: A study under the Swiss open‐listPRSystem
2022
Intraparty preference voting systems offer different incentives for candidates to cultivate a personal vote, but little is known about how the candidates' policy positions affect their elec-toral success in intraparty competition. This article analyses the effect of candidates' ideological positions and personal attributes on their preference vote share in the 2015 and 2019 Swiss Lower House elections. We used candidate survey data combined with official election statistics. Our findings demon-strate that the ideological distance between candidates' posi-tions and their party's median position is of minor importance for their electoral success when compared to their personal attributes. How…
Personības iezīmju saistība ar apmierinātību ar pāru attiecībām
2022
Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot apmierinātības ar pāru attiecībām saistību ar personības iezīmēm - pāriem, kas ir kopā 3-12 mēnešus. Pētījumā piedalījās 60 respondenti, 45 sievietes un 15 vīrieši, vecumā no 18 līdz 75 gadiem. Pētījumā tika izmantotas anketas Lielais Piecinieks (Big Five Inventory (BFI); Benet-Martinez & John, 1998) un Pāru Apmierinātības Indekss ((Couple Satisfaction Index) Funk, J.L., & Rogge, R.D., 2007). Pētījumā tika secināts, ka pastāv negatīva korelācija starp neirotismu un apmierinātību ar pāru attiecībām. Apzinīgumam un ekstraversijai pastāv statistiski nozīmīga, pozitīva korelācija ar apmierinātību ar pāru attiecībām. Netika konstatēta statistiski nozīmīga korelācija…
Career experts’ conceptions of innovation in career development
2021
AbstractThis article reports the findings from a phenomenographic investigation into career experts’ conceptions of innovation in career development. The results show that conceptions of innovation in career development varied from (1) initiating service, (2) developing demographic-based programmes, (3) professionalising the sector to (4) exploiting cross-sectoral synergies. The findings give us a more profound understanding of critical aspects that may have an important role in improving innovation in career development.
Two- and three-pion quantum statistics correlations in Pb-Pb collisions at root S-NN=2.76 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
2014
[Introduction] Correlations induced by quantum statistics are sensitive to the spatiotemporal extent as well as dynamics of particle-emitting sources in heavy-ion collisions. In addition, such correlations can be used to search for the presence of a coherent component of pion production. Two- and three-pion correlations of same and mixed charge are measured at low relative momentum to estimate the coherent fraction of charged pions in Pb-Pb collisions at √ s N N = 2 . 76 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider with ALICE. The genuine three-pion quantum statistics correlation is found to be suppressed relative to the two-pion correlation based on the assumption of fully chaotic pion emission. …
The implementation of new special education legislation in Finland
2014
This article examines the implementation of new special education legislation in Finland among students with significant disabilities. The data consist of a nationwide survey and field observations. In the analysis, a policy implementation framework is utilized as a theoretical lens. The findings suggest that schools and municipalities that had participated in long-term development projects had more capacity and willingness to reform special education practices substantially, suggesting that learning in one policy area can transfer to other domains across multiple levels of national and local governments. The key findings highlight the significance of professional trust as a policy instrum…
