Sociolinguistic Resilience Among Young Academics. A Quantitative Analysis in Germany and France
2021
International audience; Already Friedrich Schiller was convinced that language mirrors a nation. If this is the case, then the often deplored ‘brutalization of language’, which has almost become a buzzword in the wake of the refugee crisis in Germany that started in 2015, points to a serious social crisis by raising questions of (national) identity and self-understanding. Based on newly introduced sociolinguistic resilience concept in line with the concept of group focus enmity (GFE) combining the dimensions of co-adaptation and co-evolution of linguistic signs, this article presents preliminary empirical evidence of a ‘classroom’ survey conducted among students in four university towns in …
Prospective elementary teachers’ perceptions of the processes of modeling: A case study
2012
In this paper we discuss a study on the approaches to modeling of students of the 4-year elementary school teacher program at the University of Palermo, Italy. The answers to a specially designed questionnaire are analyzed on the basis of an a priori analysis made using a general scheme of reference on the epistemology of mathematics and physics. The study is performed by using quantitative data analysis methods, i.e. factorial analysis of the correspondences and implicative analysis. A qualitative analysis of key words and terms used by students during interviews is also used to examine some aspects that emerged from the quantitative analysis. The students have been classified on the basis…
La plantilla 3.0, un instrumento para conocer la música de la infancia: Revisión y validación
2015
Este trabajo se interesa por conocer la música de la vida diaria de los niños desde una mirada educativa1. Para estudiarlo el artículo ofrece un instrumento que permite conocer los elementos objetivos de la música que escuchan, prestando especial atención al entorno sonoro de mayor cobertura e impacto, el mediático. El instrumento constituye el paso inicial para estudiar los posibles efectos de la música y proponer alternativas educativas, porque la finalidad última de la investigación es la mejora de la educación. El desarrollo metodológico ha consistido en la creación del instrumento, la plantilla 3.0, y su aplicación, dando cuenta en este artículo de su revisión, características técnicas…
Outlying location of logistics activities : the example of the Burgundy in France
2015
International audience; This paper contributes to the understanding of spatial location of logistics activities in an outlying region. A quantitative analysis in Burgundy (French region) underlines the important polarization of warehousing developed in a limited area during 1980–1990s intensified during 2000s. The companies that locate their warehouses in Burgundy have different strategies that could explain this outlying location. For example, the low cost of land, favorable terms of tax system and the presence of a labour pool with an important unemployed rate incentive could incentive some companies to locate their warehouses in an outlying region like the Burgundy.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine salespersons’ adoption and usage of mobile sales configuration tools (MSCT) and to identify areas for further development in this realm. Another objective is to offer a conceptualization of MSCT adoption.Design/methodology/approachFor this purpose, a qualitative case study approach was selected as the research method to better understand acceptance of a mobile configuration tool used by business-to-business (B2B) salespersons. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews, which included a series of open-ended questions to gain more detailed and contextual data.FindingsThe results obtained from the interviews indicated several …
Identification and quantification of phosphatidylcholines containing very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLC-PUFA) in bovine and human retina…
2010
The retina is one of the vertebrate tissues with the highest content in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). A large proportion of the retinal glycerophospholipids, especially those found in photoreceptor membranes, are dipolyunsaturated molecular species. Among them, dipolyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine molecular species are known to contain very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFA) from the n-3 and n-6 series and having 24 to 36 carbon atoms (C24 to C36) and four to six double bonds. Recent interest in the role of VLC-PUFA arose from the findings that a protein named ELOngation of Very Long chain fatty acids 4 (ELOVL4) is involved in their biosynthesis and that mutations in E…

Idiomas rakstos par tirgvedību
2016
Šīs bakalaura darbs sniedz padziļinātu analīzi par idiomām rakstos par tirgvedību. Lai veiktu pētījumu, kvalitatīvā un kvantitatīvā analīze tika izmantota. Praktiskās daļas rezultāti liecina, ka pārsvarā vienā rakstā ir viena idioma. Lielākā daļa idiomu funkcionē kā darbības vārdi un lietvārdi. Mazāk ir idiomas kas funkcionē kā īpašības vārdi un apstākļa vārdi. Vismazāk idiomu funkcionē kā prievārdi. Korpusa analīze norāda, ka idiomas galvenokārt tiek izmantotas, lai padarītu angļu valodu krāsaināku, bet mazāk parādījās idiomas, kas tiek izmantotas, lai teksts šķistu interesantāks. Mērķis ir veiksmīgi sasniegts. Tālākam pētījumam teorētiskajā daļā ir nepieciešama padziļināta analīze kā atšķ…
Uzņēmumu mājas lapu žanra analīze
2017
Sākumlapai ir nozīmīga loma pievilcīgā veidā prezentēt mājaslapas satura izvilkumu. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija veikt struktūras analīzi multinacionālo uzņēmumu korporatīvām sākumlapām. Balstoties uz Korporatīvas Mājaslapas Modeļa pamatu (Askehave un Nielsen, 2005), tika veikta kvalitatīvā un kvantitatīvā izpēte trīsdesmit nejauši izvēlētām uzņēmumu korporatīvām sākumlapām. Teorētiskais pētījums atklāja, ka uzņēmumu sākumlapas satur noteiktus retoriskos soļus un hipersaites ar noteiktu tipu, kuras var analizēt piemērojot žanra analīzi. Secinājumi empīriskajā pētījumā atklāja, ka gandrīz visas izvēlētās sākumlapas lieto CHP modeli…
Ethics in Emergency Medical Services – Who Cares? An exploratory analysis from Australia
2008
Due to the complexity, stressfulness and often the life threatening nature of tasks that ambulance professionals have to deal with every day, ethical decision making in Emergency Services is a daily challenge. An Australian Association of Ambulance Professionals undertook a project of research to identify the individual ethics profile of members and their perspective on organization ethics and ethical conflict to better understand apparent conflict in ethical values between members and their employer organization. Due to the exploratory nature of this study two types of data (quantitative and qualitative) were gathered through a self-administrated questionnaire of members and semi-structure…
