Tentative de comparaison de l'équité des systèmes éducatifs français et américain
2002
Hier werden drei Gerechtigkeitsprinzipien definiert, mit deren Hilfe versucht wird, das Gerechtigkeitsniveau des französischen und des amerikanischen Bildungssystems miteinander zu vergleichen, d.h. zu entscheiden, welches der beiden Systeme die Konkretisierung jedes dieser Prinzipien am stärksten begünstigt. Dabei wird berücksichtigt, dass sie durch die Rahmenbedingungen in den beiden Ländern - insbesondere die sozialen Ungleichheiten - mehr oder weniger stark beeinflusst werden können. Die drei Prinzipien lauten: Jeder muss bei Schulabgang über minimale Kompetenzen verfügen; die individuellen Kompetenzungleichheiten dürfen nicht das gleichberechtigte gesellschaftliche Miteinander beeinträ…

L'indice de SEN, outil de mesure de l'équité des systèmes éducatifs. Une comparaison à l'échelle européenne
2005
05007; Sans développer à nouveau les théories de la justice, il est intéressant de s'intéresser à l'une d'elle en particulier, pour voir comment de façon instrumentale, il est possible de mesurer cette équité, grâce à la construction d'un indicateur particulier. La perspective adoptée par Sen notamment, permet de mesurer la justice par la proportion d'individus se situant sous un seuil. Au niveau du système éducatif, l'approche adoptée consiste à penser "qu'aucun élève ne doit quitter le système éducatif au dessous d'un seuil minimum de compétences pour vivre une vie décente dans une société moderne".
SENS's Indicator. A Tool for Measuring the Equity of Educational Systems. A Comparison of European Countries
2005
Initially, Sen's Indicator was built to measure the rate of poverty. Its principal advantage is that it considers three dimensions simultaniously: The rate of poverty, the intensity of poverty, the inequality of income distribution among the poor. For the work of GERESE, SEN's Indicator has been adapted for the educational system. We have built two indicators : an indicator of weakness of the students and another for the excellence of the students. I will develop in this text the indicator of weakness.
Aid for trade policy in developing and least developed countries: A GTAP simulation analysis
2011
Recent global initiatives on debt relief and development assistance call for increasing aid for trade to the poorest countries. We apply a multi-country computable general equilibrium model, to analyze if aid for trade offers the possibility that, instead of the developing and least developed countries’ being worse off—as so many were as the result of the last round of trade negotiations—they will actually be better off. Alternative aid for trade scenarios have been evaluated in terms of effectiveness and equity. Our findings show that aid for trade policies expand trade and alleviate inequalities. The developing and least developed countries will benefit mainly from aid for trade assistanc…
Characterizing Diagnostic Inertia in Arterial Hypertension With a Gender Perspective in Primary Care
2022
Background and ObjectivesSubstantial evidence shows that diagnostic inertia leads to failure to achieve screening and diagnosis objectives for arterial hypertension (AHT). In addition, different studies suggest that the results may differ between men and women. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in diagnostic inertia in women and men attending public primary care centers, to identify potential gender biases in the clinical management of AHT.Study Design/Materials and MethodsCross-sectional descriptive and analytical estimates were obtained nested on an epidemiological ambispective cohort study of patients aged ≥30 years who attended public primary care centers in a Spanish region …
Customer-based brand equity building
2016
The marketing literature suggested that customers are adding incremental value to a product by its brand, conceptualizing this phenomenon in terms of brand equity. This article is a contribution to this area of study as it provides a new understanding of the process of brand equity building, when approached from the customer point of view. The empirical research is centred on the hospitality industry, more specifically, upscale (i.e. four- and five-star) hotels in Croatia. The data were collected from 475 guests in 24 upscale hotels. The results reveal that image and loyalty exert a direct impact on the overall brand equity, while the influence of trust and affective commitment is mediated…
How can mega events and ecological orientation improve city brand attitudes?
2014
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine to what extent emotional experiences lived in mega-events and ecological orientation of citizens could act as direct antecedents of city brand attitude improvements. In addition, it addresses the effect in terms of a perceived quality of life that a city brand consolidation would be able to bring the citizens of a particular place. Cities must manage and administer their geographical territories as if they were brands, seeking to increase the benefits to society. Design/methodology/approach – An empirical study was performed by collecting information from 398 residents of Aguascalientes (Mexico) during the National Fair of San Marcos in 201…
The effect of hotel chain affiliation on economic performance: The moderating role of tourist districts
2020
Abstract This paper offers a pioneering analysis of the impact that integration in different types of hotel chains has on firm performance, and the moderating effect of the tourist destination in this relationship. Studies in the literature examine both size and location independently, without reconciling the apparently contradictory trends of globalization and conservation of the local base. The aim of the research is to analyze the comparative effects on tourism firms’ performance of belonging to different types of hotel chains while maintaining the advantages of location in a tourist destination. Based on a study of 292 Spanish hotels, the authors test the proposed hypotheses using hiera…
Social representations and brand positioning in the sporting goods market
2013
Abstract This paper examines the use of social representations as a strategic tool to understand better and measure how consumers arrive at their identification of brand positioning (legitimacy and differentiation) in the brand's market. By considering the market as co-produced by brands and consumers (‘B&C approach’), this study classifies free-word associations connected to the brands into units of meanings, which constitute the core of a brand's market. We applied this tool to the four main brands in the French sporting goods market (i.e., Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Puma). Results show that the differentiation of brand positioning depends on legitimate elements of the market, such as adver…
