Examen des mécanismes d'influence des attributs de recherche

2017

Cette notice présente une synthèse des travaux de recherche menés par Yohan Bernard entre 2001 et 2016 autour des effets sur le comportement des consommateurs des attributs de recherche mis en avant par les producteurs et / ou les distributeurs.

The link between colour and emotion and its possible similarity across cultures are questions that have not been fully resolved. Online, 711 participants from China, Germany, Greece and the UK associated 12 colour terms with 20 discrete emotion terms in their native languages. We propose a machine learning approach to quantify (a) the consistency and specificity of colour–emotion associations and (b) the degree to which they are country-specific, on the basis of the accuracy of a statistical classifier in (a) decoding the colour term evaluated on a given trial from the 20 ratings of colour–emotion associations and (b) predicting the country of origin from the 240 individual colour–emotion a…

Grounds for Asylum in the United Kingdom: Legal Materials, Case Studies, and Reflections from the Perspective of a County of Origin Expert

2019

This book is intended as a guide and support for legal practitioners in the field of asylum law. Each case-study deals with topics that, though extremely specific, relate to broader issues that country of origin experts often deal with: religious freedom, human slavery, integrity of the person, sexual orientation and gender identity. These topics are presented in a practical, clear and schematic manner, each chapter organised in a distinct, almost diagrammatic way, to make the reader familiar with the structure that typically characterises country of origin reports - the medium that is most used by experts - a structure that necessarily is concise and crisp.

From the Car Style Pregnancy towards the Brand Country Origin Recognition

2019

AbstractIn the modern automotive industry, a car's style clearly defines its brand. In the context of globalization, a question has recently emerged concerning the relationship between a country's culture and the car style of a particular brand.
