Teenage Violence Toward Parents – in Search of the Theoretical Bases of a Research Tool
2020
The article contains an analysis of results of the available research on the phenomenon of children’s violence toward their parents. The main purpose of this interpretation is to search for the theoretical structure of a prepared research tool, initially called the Teen Violence Scale Toward Parents (TVSTP). The subject of the analyzes were works and research reports as well as police statistics containing information on the phenomenon of domestic violence, including teenage violence toward parents. As a result of the analysis, the theoretical function of the proposed research tool was distinguished, referring to types of violence possible to diagnose within this area. The proposed tool was…
Triggering sustainability communication in a B2B context: combining action research and sensemaking
2021
PurposeThe paper explores processes associated with the adoption of corporate sustainability communication in a B2B context. It employs a combined action research and sensemaking approach to document moments that precede the initiation of external sustainability communication.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is the outcome of an action research project, where we examine the case of one industrial company that was silent on its multiple sustainability-related practices, but recently decided to become more transparent to the outside world. A processual approach to sensemaking is adopted to show how organisational and non-organisational members actively participated in meaning co-construct…
Measuring Performance in the Luxury Industry: Is there a Difference in Performance Between the top and Bottom Players in the Industry?
2021
Abstract This paper presents a methodology that consists of a Z-score function applied on a set of indicators for the luxury industry and then standardized to obtain a ranking of the companies on a scale between 10 and 100. To measure the performance for the top 5 LVMH, Estee Lauder, Richemont, Kering, Essilor Luxottica, and bottom 5 Aeffe, Tribhovandas, Van de Velde, Mulberry, Trinity companies (based on Deloitte global ranking in 2019) in the luxury industry and to unveil which are the performance drivers. By applying this methodology it can be made a comparison in performance between the top and the bottom companies in the luxury industry. The performance score is calculated for ten year…
Modeling multipartite virus evolution: the genome formula facilitates rapid adaptation to heterogeneous environments
2020
Multipartite viruses have two or more genome segments, and package different segments into different particle types. Although multipartition is thought to have a cost for virus transmission, its benefits are not clear. Recent experimental work has shown that the equilibrium frequency of viral genome segments, the setpoint genome formula (SGF), can be unbalanced and host-species dependent. These observations have reinvigorated the hypothesis that changes in genome-segment frequencies can lead to changes in virus-gene expression that might be adaptive. Here we explore this hypothesis by developing models of bipartite virus infection, leading to a threefold contribution. First, we show that th…
Cultural identification, perceived discrimination and sense of community as predictors of life satisfaction among foreign partners of intercultural f…
2014
The aim of this paper was to analyze how cultural identification, perceived discrimination and the sense of community are related to life satisfaction among foreign partners in intercultural families. The study compared 105 and 95 foreign partners in mixed families resident in Italy and Spain, respectively. The phenomenon in both countries displays similar sociodemographic aspects. In contrast to Social Identity Theory, the results show that in both groups the foreign partner's identification with their own ethnic-‐cultural group is not associated with life satisfaction, nor does it increase perce…
La formation du capital humain : gestion par le marché ou gestion par l'État
1992
Human capital formation : state or market management This paper examines the likely difficulties of the management by the state of the education sector. Concerning the operation of the system, the analysis is based on international comparisons and on the French experience. As a whole the difficulties are linked to the weak accountability and justification in the use of the resources mobilized. This arises from the absence of the regulatory mechanisms as those existing in a market oriented activity. Economist's approach and tools (cost-effectiveness, production theory, ...) can be used as a substitute to such mechanisms. In a same line of argument, the article adresses the issue of external …
Pour une politique de la qualité de l'école primaire en Afrique : évaluation des acquis des élèves en CP et en CM au Togo
1993
Policy decisions in education cannot be made upon opinions and subjectives factors ; this is especially true in African countries where demographic and economic constraints are particularly binding. A key element is to measure the impact of the various factors affecting student learning, even though this step has to be complemented by cost estimates so as to produce cost-efficiency indicators. This papers concerns primary schooling in Togo and aims at documenting the link between school factors on the one hand, pupil achievement on the other. The results have very clear consequences in terms of educational policy since they show that inputs such as school building in concrete or recruitemen…

Fonds structurels, effets de débordement géographique et croissance régionale en Europe.
2008
Les fonds structurels constituent l’un des instruments financiers de la politique regionale europeenne les plus intensement utilises afin de promouvoir la convergence entre les regions des pays membres de l’Union europeenne. Cependant, de nombreuses divergences theoriques et empiriques existent dans la litterature quant a leur capacite a encourager la croissance economique des regions les plus defavorisees. Par consequent, cet article se propose de proceder a des estimations complementaires en integrant des elements nouveaux : tout d’abord, nous adoptons une approche par l’econometrie spatiale afin de prendre en compte de possibles effets de debordement geographique entre regions ; ensuite,…
Fenomenoloģijas idejas jogačāras budismā
2015
Bakalaura darba tēma ir „Fenomenoloģijas idejas jogačāras budismā”. Tā mērķis un galvenais uzdevums ir noskaidrot, vai un kā var salīdzināt 4. gs. Indijā izveidojoušos un vēlāk 6.gs. nostabilizējošos arī Ķīnā filosofisko praksi jogačāras budismu ar Rietumu 20.gs. filosofijas virzienu – fenomenoloģiju. Par pētījuma platformu tika izvēlēta salīdzinošās filosofijas prakse, kas pēdējos gadsimtos ir aktuāla disciplīna kā Eiropā un Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs, tā arī Āzijas valstīs. Darbs sastāv no trim daļām: pirmajā daļā tiek apskatīta jogačāras budisma attīstība Ķīnā un Indijā, tā galvenie pārstāvji un analizētas galvenās idejas, balstoties galvenokārt uz Vasubandhu un Sjuaņdzan idejām. Otra…
