Motives for physical activity among active and inactive persons in their mid-30s

2013

The purpose of this study was to examine the motives for leisure-time physical activity among active and inactive men and women in their mid-30s. We used both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. Altogether, 2308 participants (mean age 33.9 years, 53.4% women) were identified from the population-based FinnTwin16 Cohort. Physically active and inactive individuals were identified on the basis of their leisure-time MET h/day. We evaluated participants' physical activity motivation with a modified version of the Recreational Exercise Motivation Measure. Comparisons between active and inactive individuals were analysed using the Wald test for equality of means, and effect sizes were calcula…

Considerations on the Advantages and Disadvantages of Romania's Accession to the European Union

2015

Abstract After nine years from Romania's accession to the European Union, the advantages are sustained with specific statistical markers, which could have been more positive if the effect of certain identified causes (reduced administrative ability, political instability, extended corruption, high tax evasion etc.) would have been diminished. Counterbalancing the benefits of the accession the opinion polls show the disadvantages. If a poll conducted four years prior to the accession showed that 66% of Romania's population considered that the accession to the European Union would produce positive effects, after six years from the accession things have reversed and 58% of Romanians considered…

From academic to social success? The case of teachers' children in France

2015

International audience; Our presentation takes an interest into the explanation of inequalities in education and more particularly tackles the resources provided by privileged familial backgrounds in order to facilitate educational and social achievement of their children.

However the conversion of this academic success into professional or social achievement has not been particularly investigated. Do teachers, as parents, provide their children with all conditions for social achievement? If they suppl…

Energy poverty in Italy

2014

Despite the existence of two targeted national programmes (�Bonus gas� and �Bonus energia�) in Italy there is no official definition of energy poverty (EP). The purpose of this study is to provide the reader with a set of indicators to fill this gap. We present a range of poverty measures which estimate that between 5 and 20 per cent of households was in EP in 2012. A selection based on qualitative criteria suggests the use of a low-income/high-costs indicator modified to include the economically vulnerable households with no heating expenses. According to this statistic the proportion of households in EP during the period 1997-2012 was broadly stable at around 8 per cent. Our simul…

Iespēju vienlīdzība un ekonomikas izaugsme: gadījumu izpēte Eiropā

2021

Attīstoties filozofijai, sociālo zinātņu teorijai un ekonomikai, rezultātu vienlīdzību nomainīja iespēju vienlīdzība uzmanības centrā. Kaut arī Kuzņeca līkne nav dzelzs likums, nav pintes, lai to pārbaudītu, tā tomēr mums dod zināmu informāciju, kura atspoguļo to, cik " veselīga " ir mūsu attīstība. Šī maģistra darba mērķis ir izpētīt ekonomiskās izaugsmes ietekmi no iespēju egalitārisma viedokļa. Šī darba galvenā hipotēze ir sekojoša:  “Ekonomiskā izaugsme nelabvēlīgi ietekmē iespēju vienlīdzību attīstītajās valstīs noteiktā periodā.”  Runājot par iespēju vienlīdzības novērtējumu, šajā rakstā ir izmantots Iespēju indeksa modelis. IKP uz vienu iedzīvotāju tiek uzskatīts par mainīgo, lai ats…

Prácticas deliberativas, argumentación y pluralismo cívico en la Democracia republicana

2011

  La esfera pública constituye el lugar donde la ciudadanía demanda, reclama y discute cualquier decisión política que concierne a sus intereses, sin embargo hemos visto como este modelo democrático participativo se soslaya, lo cual hace que se disminuya la vida política activa de la ciudadanía, para mejorar necesitamos que nuestras instituciones políticas deben de ser rediseñadas para facilitar una mayor comunicación y deliberación democrática, con nuevos paradigmas políticos enfatizados en políticas deliberativas. Precisamos de una reforma democrática que gire hacia un modelo más deliberativo, que fusione los esfuerzos de actores públicos y privados colocando al razonamiento público en el…

Creating and Governing Cultural Heritage in the European Union

2020

Creating and Governing Cultural Heritage in the European Union: The European Heritage Label provides an interdisciplinary examination of the ways in which European cultural heritage is created, communicated, and governed via the new European Heritage Label scheme. Drawing on ethnographic field research conducted across ten countries at sites that have been awarded with the European Heritage Label, the authors of the book approach heritage as an entangled social, spatial, temporal, discursive, narrative, performative, and embodied process. Recognising that heritage is inherently political and used by diverse actors as a tool for re-imagining communities, identities, and borders, and for gene…
