Vers une polyphonie multimodale. La circulation de discours tiers sur les réseaux sociaux d’hommes et femmes politiques allemands
2012
International audience; La présente proposition de communication, qui trouve son ancrage disciplinaire dans les sciences du langage, se situe à l’interface entre analyse linguistique du discours politique (Girnth, 2002, Charaudeau 2005, Schröter/Carius 2009) et linguistique des médias (Burger 2008). Partant du rôle aujourd’hui unanimement reconnu par la recherche que jouent les nouvelles technologies dans la communication politique (Klemm 2007), elle vise à analyser la façon dont les réseaux sociaux d’hommes et de femmes politiques allemands (cf. infra) intègrent les discours autres – de leur propre camp comme de l’opposition. Elle part de l’hypothèse selon laquelle les réseaux sociaux, tou…
Compte rendu de : Jesús Gascón Pérez, Alzar banderas contra su rey. La rebelión aragonesa de 1591 contra Felipe II
2011
Le livre de Jesús Gascón Pérez, Alzar banderas contra su rey. La rebelión aragonesa de 1591 contra Felipe II, propose un récit circonstancié et parfaitement documenté de la révolte qui secoua le royaume d’Aragon, et tout particulièrement la ville de Saragosse, au cours de l’année 1591. Le détonateur de l’insurrection fut l’arrivée en Aragon d’Antonio Pérez. L’ancien secrétaire de Philippe II, qui était poursuivi pour crime de lèse-majesté en Castille, tenta de se mettre à l’abri de la justice...
Safety Culture and Safety Performance in High-Reliability Organizations: A Synthesis of IDOCAL’S Contributions to the Literature
2020
Improving safety culture and safety performance is a constant concern for companies operating in high-risk environments. For almost two decades, IDOCAL (the Research Institute of Personnel Psychology, Organizational Development and Quality of Working Life) has been contributing to advancing our understanding of these important concepts through theoretical development and empirical research. The objective of this article is to synthesize these contributions. Some of the most prominent are (1) the development of a framework for the evaluation of safety culture and its correlates based on the AMIGO model, (2) the establishment of the empowering leadership model as a valuable concept in safety …
A sustainable city environment through child safety and mobility:A challenge based on ITS?
2012
Our cities should be designed to accommodate everybody, including children. We will not move toward a more sustainable society unless we accept that children are people with transportation needs, and ‘bussing’ them around, or providing parental limousine services at all times, will not lead to sustainability. Rather, we will need to make our cities walkable for children, at least those above a certain age. Safety has two main aspects, traffic safety and personal safety (risk of assault). Besides being safe, children will also need an urban environment with reasonable mobility, where they themselves can reach destinations with reasonable effort; else they will still need to be driven. This p…
In the name of security : Governmentality apparatus in a multilingual mine in Arctic Finland
2021
This critical sociolinguistic study explores how mining work is governed in the name of security in a mine in Arctic Finland. Although the mining industry is dominated by multinational corporations, mines themselves tend to be concentrated in peripheries where a mobile and multilingual workforce is recruited. Mining is a high-risk business: industrial accidents and environmental damage can be severe. Discursive practices play a crucial role in risk management. In this study, the nexus of language, security, and production in mining work is analyzed by applying the Foucauldian concept of 'governmentality'. The data comprise ethnographic observations, work-related documents, and interviews co…
Improving the Downwind Sail Design Process by Means of a Novel FSI Approach
2021
The process of designing a sail can be a challenging task because of the difficulties in predicting the real aerodynamic performance. This is especially true in the case of downwind sails, where the evaluation of the real shapes and aerodynamic forces can be very complex because of turbulent and detached flows and the high-deformable behavior of structures. Of course, numerical methods are very useful and reliable tools to investigate sail performances, and their use, also as a result of the exponential growth of computational resources at a very low cost, is spreading more and more, even in not highly competitive fields. This paper presents a new methodology to support sail designers in ev…
Spatial data fusion and analysis for soil characterization: a case study in a coastal basin of south-western Sicily (southern Italy)
2012
Salinization is one of the most serious problems confronting sustainable agriculture in semi-arid and arid regions. Accurate mapping of soil salinization and the associated risk represent a fundamental step in planning agricultural and remediation activities. Geostatistical analysis is very useful for soil quality assessment because it makes it possible to determine the spatial relationships between selected variables and to produce synthetic maps of spatial variation. The main objective of this paper was to map the soil salinization risk in the Delia-Nivolelli alluvial basin (south-western Sicily, southern Italy), using multivariate geostatistical techniques and a set of topographical, phy…

On overall sampling plan for small area estimation
2017
The time and budget restrictions in survey sampling can impose limits on the area sample sizes. This may reduce the possibility to obtain area-specific and population parameters estimates with adequate precision. Market research companies and institutes for producing official statistics face frequently this problem. Various models and methods for small area estimation (SAE) have been developed to solve this problem. The sample allocation must support the selected model and method to ensure efficient estimation and must be implemented in the design phase of the survey. The proposed allocation is developed by incorporating auxiliary information, a model, and an estimation method. The estimate…
On the Sampling Size for Inverse Sampling
2022
In the Big Data era, sampling remains a central theme. This paper investigates the characteristics of inverse sampling on two different datasets (real and simulated) to determine when big data become too small for inverse sampling to be used and to examine the impact of the sampling rate of the subsamples. We find that the method, using the appropriate subsample size for both the mean and proportion parameters, performs well with a smaller dataset than big data through the simulation study and real-data application. Different settings related to the selection bias severity are considered during the simulation study and real application.
