Brand social representations: strategic perspectives for a fitness club

2009

International audience; The aim of this study was to identify an accurate tool to enable fitness club managers to discover those opinions or stereotypes which represent obstacles to joining their organisations. Starting with brand image, the analysis then considered social representations as relevant constructs for apprehending these opinions or prejudices. The use of a word association task and the model of basic cognitive schemes (Rouquette, 1990; 1994) provided access to the salient elements of the social representations of a particular sport brand and the way they are structured. The procedure combining these two stages represented a diagnostic tool for identifying the attractive and un…

Plio-Pleistocene strike-slip deformation in NE Sicily: the example of the area between Capo Calavà and Capo Tindari

2005

The Peloritani Mts. in Northeastern Sicily are part of the Sicilian orogenic belt interposed between the Tyrrhenian basin and the Ionian Basin. In the Tyrrhenian basin crustal thinning has been active since the late Miocene, whereas wedge accretion (External Calabrian Arc) has occurred in the Ionian basin, due to the north-westward subduction of the Ionian Plate below the Calabrian-Peloritani Arc. Strike-slip tectonics in NE Sicily occurred during Plio-Pleistocene times. Faulting caused a non-uniform uplift rate of the Plio-Pleistocene deposits, which are elevated up to 500 m above sea level. The structural pattern is mainly represented by NW-SE and N-S/NNE-SSW trending transcurrent faults …

On the structural optimization in presence of base isolating devices

2012

The minimum volume design of plane frames constituted by elastic perfectly plastic material and subjected to appropriate combinations of fixed, cyclic and dynamic loads is studied. The influence on the design, in terms of cost (volume) and behavioural features, of seismic protecting devices is particularly focused. The considered protecting device is a lead rubber bearing base isolation system. Two optimal design problem formulations are proposed for the structure with or without the protecting device, both based on the so-called statical approach. The minimum volume frame is reached accounting for three different resistance limits: the purely elastic limit, the (elastic) shakedown limit an…

Collaborative professional practice for strengthening teacher educator identities in Eritrea

2021

Strengthening the identities of teacher educators is critical to quality teacher education and implementing change in the education sector. This study examines the professional identities of Eritrean teacher educators and how these identities can be strengthened through collaborative professional practice in a challenging context currently under reform. The focus is on the professional capacity building activities at the College of Education in Eritrea, which were implemented in collaboration with Finnish education partners. The paper reports on findings from an action-research informed study of a semester-long series of professional development seminars and an interview study with individu…

"You've got the color, but you dont't have the shades" : primary education CLIL teachers' identity negotiation within the Finnish context

2018

This dissertation explores how professional identity is experienced by teachers in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) instruction. In particular, it addresses professional identity in relation to two immediate contexts of teacher activity, i.e. that of the classroom and that of the collegial community. In addition to exploring how these two sides of the professional self give rise to a broader understanding of professional identity, this dissertation also explores aspects of professional agency and the negotiation of emotions in their work. The dissertation is founded on fourteen interviews with Finnish kindergarten and primary education teachers doing CLIL. The data were thema…
