Influence of brand image of a sports event on the recommendation of its participants

2020

The aim of this research is to test the psychometric properties and relationships of a model where, from brand congruence of a sport event, trust and commitment to it can be generated, influencing future behavior of participants and resulting in a higher recommendation also called Word of Mouth (hereinafter WOM). A quantitative approach has been carried out by means of a validated questionnaire with Likert-type responses, and data were analyzed with the EQS 6.4 software. The findings indicated that the model is adequate, and also confirm that from congruence, we can explain, at a theoretical level, 45% of trust, and in the same way, from the congruence and trust, we can explain 67% of the c…

TISSBERT: A benchmark for the validation and comparison of NDVI time series reconstruction methods

2018

[EN] This paper introduces the Time Series Simulation for Benchmarking of Reconstruction Techniques (TISSBERT) dataset, intended to provide a benchmark for the validation and comparison of time series reconstruction methods. Such methods are routinely used to estimate vegetation characteristics from optical remotely sensed data, where the presence of clouds decreases the usefulness of the data. As for their validation, these methods have been compared with previously published ones, although with different approaches, which sometimes lead to contradictory results. We designed the TISSBERT dataset to be generic so that it could simulate realistic reference and cloud-contaminated time series …

Can we increase children’s rights endorsement and knowledge?: A pilot study based on the reference framework of competences for democratic culture

2022

This pilot study is the first to examine whether a novel curriculum based on the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC) could increase children’s endorsement and knowledge of children’s rights. We conducted a pre-test-post-test design with an intervention and a comparison school. Pupils (n = 172) from Bulgaria, Italy, Norway, Romania, and Spain attended schools in which the curriculum was taught, whereas pupils in the comparison group (n = 120) attended schools in the same city where the curriculum was not taught. Both groups were tested on their endorsement and knowledge of rights before and at the end of the intervention. Children in the intervention group incre…

Emotional intelligence in Greek teacher education : Findings from a short intervention

2021

AbstractEmotional intelligence (EI) is widely known to be crucial for professional development in education, and it is a curricular component of Greek teacher education. Still, there is little information available on student teachers’ EI. The aim of this study was to explore whether student teachers’ trait EI can be developed through a two-week, EI-focused intervention. The study followed a quasi-experimental design with a mixed method approach, using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (Greek version) (N = 42) and reflective emotion diaries (N = 19). The participants were third-year undergraduate students studying primary education and teaching at the University of C…

Students’ Experiences of Reflective Writing as a Tool for Learning in Physiotherapy Education

2015

The purpose of this study was to examine physiotherapy students’ experiences of reflective writing. The students (n = 32) were asked to video record their practical activities at school and at workplaces, and to write reflective journals on their experiences. The research data about students’ experiences of reflective writing were collected by interviewing the students. The data were analyzed phenomenographically. The findings revealed four qualitatively different experiences of reflective writing: 1) writing as a useless task; 2) writing as a tool for deepening understanding; 3) writing as a tool for self-reflection; and 4) writing as a tool for professional development. These categories d…

The territorial dimension in the EU programming and the New Framework for Public Policies: Territorial Tural Development, CAP Reform and new LEADER

2012

Lo que venimos denominando como perspectiva territorial del desarrollo es un fenómeno bastante reciente en el contexto de la Unión Europea, de apenas dos décadas. En esencia esta perspectiva territorial del desarrollo se ha centrado en un enfoque local de los procesos de desarrollo en las áreas rurales, de la mano, principalmente, de instrumentos como LEADER. La necesidad de incorporar la dimensión territorial a los procesos de desarrollo proviene no solo del éxito global de estos instrumentos, sino también por el convencimiento de que puede constituir un elemento fundamental de cara a la cohesión económica y social en el seno de la UE. Avances recientes, como el Libro Verde de la Cohesión …

Region jako podmiot wspólczesnej polityki rozwoju regionalnego

2021

The evolution of regional development regulations and goals evokes academic and ideological dispute over the essence of a region in regional policy. It provides the context for the presented considerations whose goal is to determine the extent to which the perception of a region as a subject in the regional development policy changes. The paper demonstrates the stable and changeable elements of regions’ identification in relation to the current processes and determinants of regional development. The analysis of source literature and strategic documents on regional development leads to the conclusion that the concept of a region as a subject of regional development policy is constant and uni…
