« After buying ...before consuming »: a study of accumulation behaviour through the example of red win e consumers
2017
The main objective of this research is to help better understand a transitory behaviour –halfway between wine buying and consuming –namely accumulation. Data is gathered among a sample of 415 consumers, living in the cities of Lyon and Dijon and quantitative analysis is conducted. Respondents were invited to provide informations about Red wine bottles and appellations ’number they own . Socio-demographic variables’ influence on accumulation behaviour is measured and accumulators typology is analyzed : three main profiles have emerged. They are characterized by red wine bottles’ number and appellations owned, age and city of residence.
Le rôle des dispositifs numériques de médiation dans la satisfaction des publics de musée d’art
2019
The effects of "self-service technologies" (SST) (Curran and Meuter, 2005) on the value and satisfaction of service experience (Lin and Hsieh, 2007; Mencarelli and Rivière, 2014; Meuter et al., 2003) have been little studied in the arts and culture field. The research explores the effects of the use of a digital mediation device on the museum experience and on the overall satisfaction of the public. The results of the analysis of 916 questionnaires collected from visitors to the Louvre Lens museum show that the use of a digital mediation device during the museum visit experience does not significantly impact overall public satisfaction with the visit.
Insensitivity of Tree-Ring Growth to Temperature and Precipitation Sharpens the Puzzle of Enhanced Pre-Eruption NDVI on Mt. Etna (Italy)
2017
On Mt. Etna (Italy), an enhanced Normalized Difference in Vegetation Index (NDVI) signature was detected in the summers of 2001 and 2002 along a distinct line where, in November 2002, a flank eruption subsequently occurred. These observations suggest that pre-eruptive volcanic activity may have enhanced photosynthesis along the future eruptive fissure. If a direct relation between NDVI and future volcanic eruptions could be established, it would provide a straightforward and low-cost method for early detection of upcoming eruptions. However, it is unclear if, or to what extent, the observed enhancement of NDVI can be attributed to volcanic activity prior to the subsequent eruption. We conse…
Determinants of elimination decisions in the activity scheduling process
2016
[EN] This paper presents an analysis on the determinants related to a particular rescheduling decision in the activity-travel scheduling process: elimination decisions, which consist in the non-execution of pre-planned activity-travel episodes. Data used come from an in-depth computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) follow up survey carried out during the implementation of the first wave of an activity scheduling process panel survey. Open-ended answers related to the reasons associated to changes between pre-planned and executed agenda are studied. First, an interpretative qualitative method based on analytic induction (AI) is used to cope with the complex nature of the rescheduling de…

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-02-07 Background: Functional redundancy has been debated largely in ecology and conservation, yet we lack detailed empirical studies on the roles of functionally similar species in ecosystem function. Large bodied frugivores may disperse similar plant species and have strong impact on plant recruitment in tropical forests. Th…
De l'école unifiée aux écoles plurielles. Évaluation internationale des politiques de différenciation et de diversification de l'offre éducative
2004
The last two decades have been marked in many developed and emerging countries by major educational reforms, around special themes: decentralization, the differentiation of courses and school content and the free choice of school. These three education policies, which aim to differentiate and diversify the educational offer, call into question the traditional organization of modern educational systems. This study seeks to evaluate the effects of these reforms on the performance of education systems, thanks to an econometric analysis based, on the one hand, on the results of the PISA 2000 international evaluation and, on the other, on a a fine description of the institutional characteristics…
The explanatory variables of narrative transportation and consumer engagement with a transmedia consumption experience
2019
International audience; Professionals in the cultural sector are increasingly designing transmedia narrative devices. By that new strategy, they expect to increase cultural consumption and attendance. Considering the central role of the narrative transportation during the transmedia experience, this article presents results about six anticipated antecedents of this process experienced by users of a transmedia device that combines digital and physical elements, and deals with the heritage history of a French province. The six variables tested are gender, age, level of education (to describe the socio-demographic profile), geographical proximity (to proxy the familiarity with the topic and co…
Padel: A quantitative study of the shots and movements in the high-performance
2013
Padel is a sport that has increasing its importance in recent years. Despite this evolution, there is a lack of scientific papers analyzing padel aspects, specifically about the quantification of movements and shots during match. The purpose of this study was to perform quantitative analyses of movements and shots in padel in order to establish the importance of each type. Twenty male professional players were recorded with a video during ten matches and movements (lateral, head-on and backward displacement, split-steps, jump for a smash, and turns pivoting on the right or left foot) and shots (direct and indirect drive, backhand, smash and lob, and direct volley) were identified, quantifie…
