Obesity and food, discours and practices communication approach
2022
It is within the framework of Information and Communication Sciences that our study proposes to analyze the communicational approach of obesity and diet to highlight how discourse influences eating practices. By relying on the study of scientists discourses, experts, health and food professionals and on that of the messages delivered by educators to the wide public, we try to determine why the innumerable recommendations generate in those who receive them, process them, interpret them, confusion or even misunderstanding. However, these are not the sources of information that are lacking to keep abreast of advances in medical science, innovations or progress proposed by Agro-industrials. Arg…
Determining your own grade – Student perceptions on self-assessment in a large mathematics course
2018
International audience; In our poster, we report on students' perceptions on self-assessment in large undergraduate course context taught with the DISA model (Digital Self-Assessment) in which the final exam is replaced by self-assessment. The students found that practising self-assessment skills was valuable and encouraged them to study for themselves. At the same time, self-assessment was considered unfamiliar and therefore difficult. We argue that the DISA model encouraged students to take more responsibility on their own learning.
Using the Reflective Journal to Improve Practical Skills Integrating Affective and Self-Critical Aspects in Impoverished International Environments. …

The project was developed with Nursing students at Catholic University of Valencia, in an impoverished environment. Qualitative reflections increased, highlighting humanity, closeness and at…
Working on the "dark place" of southern European metropolitan cities. An analysis of informal practices and critique on approaches of public housing …
2018
The debate on housing practices of self-help mainly focalizes on Southern countries of the world, while in the Northern countries informal practices are still marginal or neglected compared to their proactive roles that could play in reframing public policies. Although this phenomenon has been recently re-evaluated in Europe, especially as antagonism between legality and illegality and rights, the housing practices of self-help could be a promising approach to solve housing deprivation in many metropolitan cities where the gap of income between rich and poor is keener. However, in Italy and in other European countries, squatters are illegal persons and therefore it becomes more complicated …

Innovation Management Practices in Production-Intensive Service Firms
2015
Postprint version of the article. This paper posits that innovation management practices are contingent upon the type of industry, and examines the innovation management practices in a distinctive set of service firms: production-intensive service firms. Production-intensive services are standardised services produced at a large scale. These services have received little attention from prior comprehensive qualitative innovation management practices research. The examination in this paper is based on in-depth interviews with 21 key-employees in five large Scandinavian production-intensive service firms. The results revealed a number of innovation management practices specific to production-i…
