Main components of the corporative image of cultural organizations
2016
[EN] In the present research, we carry out an analysis of the corporate image of a cultural organization which aims tohighlight its role in order to design management strategies in the cultural field. We investigate what particular attributes are better assessed by the public and which dimensions compose the corporate image of a cultural organization. Based on the literature review, we made an in-depth interview to the programming manager of a cultural organization and also a descriptive survey on its audience through a structured questionnaire.The results of the analyses show that the corporate image of the cultural organization under study is positive, although someattributescan be improv…
«Formalistic obscurantism»? An attempt to decipher the curriculum in social studies
2021
I 2020 trådte det nye læreplanverket, Kunnskapsløftet 2020, i kraft i norsk skole. I artikkelen har vi valgt samfunnsfaget i ungdomsskolen som eksempelstudium. Vi presenterer en detaljert, empirinær analyse av forholdet mellom kompetansemål, kjerneelementer og tverrfaglige tema i læreplanstrukturen for skolefag, samt forholdet mellom disse og overordnet del. Eksempelet er avgrenset til samfunnsfaget på ungdomsskolen, og basert på det forskriftsfestede planverket og den digitale støttemodulen. Funnene i denne delen av analysen gir praktisk kunnskap om læreplanene som er helt sentral for lærerutdannere og lærere, og som har overføringsverdi (og relevans) for fagdidaktikk for andre skolefag. I…
Barns tilgang til erfaringer som er relevante for samfunnsfag
2022
Praktiske erfaringer er en viktig kilde til sakkunnskap i samfunnsfag på småskoletrinnet. 97 prosent av elevene har 2–5 års barnehageerfaring når de begynner på skolen, og innholdet i barnehagehverdagen har betydning for skolestarternes erfaringsrikdom. Styringsdokumentene legger premisser for barns tilgang til slike erfaringer, og artikkelens problemstilling er: I hvilken grad legger planverket til rette for faglig progre-sjon mellom nærmiljø og samfunn i barnehagen og samfunnsfag på småskoletrinnet? Materialet er hentet fra Rammeplan for barnehagen (RP17) og Læreplan i samfunnsfag (LK20). For å sammenlikne så forskjellige plandokumenter har jeg utviklet et analyse-verktøy med utgangspunkt…
INDIVIDUAL FUTURE ORIENTATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS PREDICTING LIFE SATISFACTION
2017
This study explored a model of prediction of life satisfaction by individual future orientation (FO) and demographic factors. Individual views of the future and goals are closely associated with well-being. Theories of FO represent different approaches to its conceptualization. Following Seginer (2009), this study presents a combination of motivational, cognitive, and behavioral components of FO. Participants were 130 females and 75 males from 18 to 49. A new measure of individual FO (the Individual Future Orientation Scale, IFOS) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) were used for the assessment. The results of structural equation modeling demon…
Measurement invariance of the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) by gender and age in Angola
2015
Abstract Subjective well-being is a research arena that has grown almost exponentially: over the last 20 years, the number of publications on subjective well-being has increased approximately 16-fold (Diener, 2009). The cognitive aspect of subjective well-being or life satisfaction is referred to a conscious cognitive judgment of life (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin 1985), in which person’s quality of life is globally assessed (Shin & Johnson, 1978). The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS, Diener et al., 1985) is the most widely used instrument for its measurement. A reliable, valid and invariant measurement is critical for meaningful comparisons. The aim of this study is to examine the …
High-pressure structural, elastic, and thermodynamic properties of zircon-type HoPO4 and TmPO4
2017
[EN] Zircon-type holmium phosphate (HoPO4) and thulium phosphate (TmPO4) have been studied by single-crystal x-ray diffraction and ab initio calculations. We report on the influence of pressure on the crystal structure, and on the elastic and thermodynamic properties. The equation of state for both compounds is accurately determined. We have also obtained information on the polyhedral compressibility which is used to explain the anisotropic axial compressibility and the bulk compressibility. Both compounds are ductile and more resistive to volume compression than to shear deformation at all pressures. Furthermore, the elastic anisotropy is enhanced upon compression. Finally, the calculation…
The environmental product declaration EPD with a particular application to a solar thermal collector
2003
The principles of sustainable development and of Integrated Product Policy are applied in new voluntary regulations, which have been internationally agree. The aim is to grant transparency of environmental information and to promote the diffusion of environmentally friendly products. A new tool under study is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), a technical paper annexed to products that synthesises their energy and environmental performances. This paper points out the reasons for developing EPD for the energy sector, and puts special focus upon renewable energy systems, products whose environmental performances are often not clearly defined. We describe how results of a LCA upon a …
Calidad de vida familiar en personas con daño cerebral adquirido: el caso de la asociación Nueva Opción
2022
El impacto del daño cerebral adquirido supone una pérdida de calidad de vida relacionada con la salud y la vida cotidiana, laboral y comunitaria. Además, sus consecuencias también repercuten en la red familiar. Desde la asociación Nueva Opción se pretende describir la calidad de vida en el entorno familiar de las personas con daño cerebral adquirido, así como determinar la satisfacción que experimentan las familias frente a las secuelas, contemplando la variable de edad y sexo. Para su análisis, se ha adaptado la Escala de calidad de vida familiar a la población atendida, midiendo así las relaciones intrafamiliares, el estado de salud y sus relaciones sociales y de ocio, entre otras, con el…
Au-delà du Paradigme de "Disconfirmation" des Attentes : Quand le Lien Remplace le Bien
2007
Consumer satisfaction has been labeled a cornerstone of marketing on account of its significant strategic links with the firm's profitability. This paper presents a phenomenological investigation of consumer satisfaction. Our research is aimed at developing a supplementary approach to satisfaction and to compare it with the dominant paradigm so as to propose extensions while showing the limitations of the existing theory. The first section examines the conceptual aspects and the theoretical background of the process of satisfaction. On the basis of our results, the second section confirms that satisfaction could be conceptualized as a dynamic and sequential process. In addition our results …
Farkas-Minkowski systems in semi-infinite programming
1981
The Farkas-Minkowski systems are characterized through a convex cone associated to the system, and some sufficient conditions are given that guarantee the mentioned property. The role of such systems in semi-infinite programming is studied in the linear case by means of the duality, and, in the nonlinear case, in connection with optimality conditions. In the last case the property appears as a constraint qualification.
