Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the dominant conceptualisation of quality in Afghanistan’s higher education strategic planning and policies, and consider the implications a broader conceptualisation of quality might have within Afghanistan’s conflict-affected context. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on data from document analysis and semi-structured interviews, the author identifies the dominant policy conceptualisation of quality. Findings The dominant conceptualisation of quality in Afghanistan’s higher education policy documents aligns with the sector’s primary policy purpose of promoting economic growth. However, quality assurance processes were developed with significant input from international actors, and replicate global norms for quality assurance. Whilst this is important for validity and legitimacy, at the same time it can be delegitimising for local stakeholders, and can limit opportunities for conceptualisations of quality which genuinely engage with the particularities of Afghanistan’s broader conflict-affected social context. Research limitations/implications Introducing conceptualisations of quality in Afghanistan’s higher education policy which de-centre economic growth, and rather re-position social goals of cohesion and political sustainability as a central understanding of quality higher education, opens possibilities for the sector’s contribution towards national development. Originality/value There is limited published research into conceptualisations of quality within low-income and conflict-affected higher education contexts in general, and Afghanistan in particular. This paper intends to extend a critical conversation about the non-economic dividends a quality higher education sector can offer in such contexts.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel conceptualisation that holistically places the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Artefact in Capability Approach (CA). The conceptualisation harmonises the different views about technology within CA-based frameworks in ICT4D, in order to address the inconsistencies. To demonstrate the utility of the conceptualisation, while simultaneously addressing the highest thematic research gap among post-2015 ICT4D research priorities, the study collected primary data from users of Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) solar kits who reside in rural Kenya. Using the conceptualisation, the study demonstrated that the ICT-artefact can holistically be placed within three of CA’s concepts: under material resources as a capability input; as a new category of conversion factors (technological factors); and as a component within the structural context. The study further demonstrated how the same ICT artefact could play out in the three different conceptualisations, resulting in different development outcomes. The study finally presents the implications for policy and practice.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the transformation of the perspective applied to distribution structures in the late 1900s. This change implied that the previous focus on channel management by a channel captain was abandoned because of changes in the business reality. This perspective was replaced by models and concepts featuring collaboration and joint coordination between actors and relationships embedded in networks. Design/methodology/approach Changes of perspectives on phenomena are assumed to occur through the dynamic interplay between business reality, the conceptualisation of this reality and the managerial recommendations derived from this conceptualisation. The study is based on a thorough longitudinal literature review. Findings Shifts of perspectives occur when there is an increasing mismatch between the current business reality and mainstream conceptualisations. In this transformation, new constructs are required to illustrate new aspects of the business reality, exemplified in the study by interaction and networks. Some established concepts lose their significance, illustrated by the channel captain. Others may be re-interpreted, as is the case with the power concept. The study also shows that “forgotten” conceptualisations can be re-wakened, exemplified by the view of distribution structures as network constellations. In turn, these changes in the conceptualisation of distribution impact the managerial recommendations. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, there are no previous studies analysing how the perspective on a certain phenomenon changes through the dynamic interplay between business reality, conceptualisations and managerial recommendations.

Abstract:
Electronic word of mouth or e-WOM has gained a lot of salience in marketing literature. However, the conceptualisation of e-WOM in the literature has often relied on past practices in e-WOM generation and use. For example, in the previous few decades, several studies that have used e-WOM to predict future sales/revenue of products and services have conceptualised e-WOM with similar factors such as volume, valence and dispersion of e-WOM, while only adapting it to their research context. In this article, we critique extant conceptualisations of e-WOM, and make a case of moving beyond a uni-dimensional perspective of conceptualising e-WOM and argue for the inclusion of the quality of individual posts/comments in measuring e-WOM. We argue that new conceptualisation of e-WOM must also consider the language, emotions and content of the e-WOM messages. Keeping this in mind, an alternative conceptualisation of e-WOM is offered.

Abstract:
Conceptualisation is “the process of meaning construction to which language contributes. It does so by providing access to rich encyclopaedic knowledge and by prompting for complex processes of conceptual integration” (Evans 2007: 38). Concrete, non-abstract entities are easy to grasp and to conceptualise with the use of the senses. A problem occurs when the mind has to form an idea about abstract concepts that cannot be seen, heard, smelled, or tasted. Linguists (Evans & Green 2006; Gibbs 1999; Kövecses 2010; Lakoff 1986; Lakoff & Johnson 2003) proved that people share a tendency to create conceptual analogies between abstract concepts and concrete entities by mapping the properties of the latter upon the former. It has been proved (Trojszczak 2016, 2017) that people share conceptualisations between languages. The primary goal of this comparative study was to examine the conceptualisation of success in two languages, English and Polish, in order to identify differences and similarities. The results of the study proved that people share the conceptualisation of the analysed target domain in both languages, which means they understand success in the same terms. There is a difference in the intensity, however; some metaphors are more widely used in one language and some in the other. There is also a difference in the linguistic expressions that constitute the conceptualisations.

Abstract:
The objective of this article is the conceptualisation, in line with Steven Gordon’s classification, of primary emotions: happiness, fear, sadness, and anger, together with “background emotions,” and social emotions: empathy, compassion (and self-conscious emotions: a sense of guilt, shame, pride) in social sciences, with the underlying assumption of biological foundations and cultural conditions of emotions (the theory of “cultural scripts” by Norbert Elias, “feeling rules” by Arlie Hochschild). Theoretical conceptualisations of emotions are presented, viewed from the perspective of anthropologists, cultural experts, sociologists, psychologists and linguists. What is offered are descriptions of manifestations of emotions, ways of their expression, physical symptoms, degrees of intensity, crucial areas, mental and physical consequences, as well as their functions.

Abstract:
Cet article présente un modèle global qui aide le thérapeute à identifier les souvenirs cibles cruciaux pour le traitement EMDR. Cette approche, dite “des deux méthodes”, peut être utilisée pour la conceptualisation et la mise en œuvre d'un traitement pour une large gamme de symptômes et de problèmes qui ne sont pas liés à l'ESPT proprement dit. Le modèle comprend deux types de conceptualisations de cas. La première méthode porte sur les symptômes, ce qui permet de noter de façon pertinente, sur une ligne de temps, les souvenirs des événements étiologiques et/ou aggravants. Elle vise principalement la conceptualisation et le traitement des troubles de l'axe I du DSM-IV-TR. La seconde méthode est utilisée pour identifier les souvenirs qui sous-tendent ce qu'on appelle les croyances fondamentales dysfonctionnelles des patients. Cette méthode est principalement utilisée pour traiter des formes plus graves de pathologie, comme la phobie sociale sévère, l'ESPT complexe et/ou les troubles de la personnalité. Les deux méthodes de conceptualisation des cas sont expliquées ici étape par étape en détail et illustrées par des exemples cliniques.

Abstract:
This paper studies the conceptualisation of love by the Montenegrin student population, via conceptual metaphors, metonymies and related concepts, as well as through the lenses of cultural scripts. The corpus with the conceptual instantiations was collected using a sentence-completion elicitation questionnaire, which was administered to Montenegrin university students. The aim was to identify the cognitive model of love of the targeted population, and to determine the level of universality and cultural variation of the conceptualisations identified. The results suggest that the level of universality and culture-specificity depends on how generally we define the conceptualisation – the superordinate-level, i.e. more general and abstract metaphors displayed more universality, whereas more cultural specificity was likely to be found in the basic-level metaphors, i.e. narrower metaphors.

Abstract:
This paper analyses the derivation of metaphoric senses of English and Serbian adjectives primarily denoting a certain degree of temperature as a physical property of objects. The aim of the analysis is to identify conceptual metaphors that have driven the derivation of these senses and compare English and Serbian in terms of conceptualisations of abstract notions using temperature as the source domain. Furthermore, the analysis aims at revealing whether the conceptualisation of an abstract notion using a certain degree of warmth as the source domain activates the conceptualisation of the opposite abstract notion starting from a degree of coldness and vice versa, i.e. to investigate whether there are pairs of opposite metaphors activated in semantic dispersion of the given adjectives. The analysis has shown that there is a significant similarity between English and Serbian regarding the conceptualisation of abstract notions using temperature as the source domain. Still, English displays a greater variety of abstract notions conceptualised in the given way. There are rare cases in which derivations of metaphoric senses of adjectives belonging to the opposite sections of the temperature scale are mutually related in the sense that they are driven by opposite metaphoric patterns.

Si la littérature compte de nombreuses conceptualisations et échelles validées pour mesurer le moral des salariés, aucune étude ne permet d’affirmer leur pertinence pour les dirigeants. Sur la base de 20 entretiens individuels et 360 questionnaires réalisés auprès de dirigeants français, cet article propose une conceptualisation et une mesure du moral du dirigeant. Il met en lumière la spécificité de la construction du moral des dirigeants au regard de celui des salariés mais aussi sa multidimensionnalité, l’influence des éléments personnels et professionnels, la double valence émotionnelle ainsi que son caractère non genré.

Abstract:
Project management has seen significant growth which has been beneficial to academics and practitioners in the field alike. However, the alarming trend of project underperformance continues. This points to an apparent relevance gap in Project Management. One of the areas that has been highlighted as an important area for further study to improve this situation is project front end management. Using Design Science as research methodology, the knowledge contribution of this research is an artefact called, the Project Conceptualisation Canvas. The Project Conceptualisation Canvas represents a process to be followed to ensure that the conceptualisation phases of potential projects are adequately performed. The Project Conceptualisation Canvas was developed using as input the results of the systematic review of literature on the typical challenges that occur during project conceptualisation. The Project Conceptualisation Canvas was evaluated through two sets of focus groups which confirmed that it contributes towards the improvement of project conceptualisation practice. The relevance of the contribution of the Project Conceptualisation Canvas is that it will improve decision making during the project conceptualisation and selection process which will ultimately result into improved project delivery and reduced opportunity cost that results from underperforming projects.

Abstract:
Against the backdrop of the interconnected global marketplace and the resulting decrease in consumer-firm information asymmetry, an increasingly prevalent assumption is that consumers are "empowered" and "savvy". However there are contrary findings that consumers are not empowered but feel "trapped", "victimised" and "manipulated" in interacting with firms. Additionally, while the notion of a growing base of increasingly competent consumers has captured the collective imagination, it is important with any social trend to consider variance that may occur due to individual characteristics. With the aim of establishing the truth-status of "consumer savvy" this study addresses the following questions: (1) What are the dimensions of consumer savvy? (2) Is savvy invariant across genders and age groups? (3) Does savvy affect consumers' approach to the consumer-firm interaction? (3a) Does it relate to desire for co-creation? (3b) Does it relate to perceptions of value in interacting with the firm? (3c) Does it increase the likelihood of consumer activism activities? (4) Are the effects of consumer savvy moderated by: (4a) the hedonic-utilitarian characteristics of products? or (4b) the technological innovativeness of products? In addressing these questions, the initial emphasis is on establishing a conceptualisation of the characteristics of the savvy consumer. These characteristics are operationalised as a six dimensional "SAVVY" scale which becomes the focus of validation, assessment and application. The new scale's factorial (item-level) measurement equivalence is established for gender. However, measurement non-invariance is found for Gen X versus Baby Boomer consumers, hence caution is required when using it as a generational profiling tool. A vignette experiment to test the scale's predictive validity found that high-savvy consumers have significantly greater desire to engage in co-creation, are significantly more likely to perceive value in the interaction, and are significantly more likely to engage in word-of-web, but are not more likely to complain, than low-savvy consumers. The findings have implications for researchers and practitioners interested in the potential for consumer-centric marketing approaches. The two key contributions are the development of a framework for conceptualising consumer savvy and the operationalisation and validation ofthe SAVVY scale as a tool for prediction and population profiling.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the triarchic conceptualisation of psychopathy, mainly through the operationalization of a self-report tool the Trial'chic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM, Patrick, 2010). Following an introduction, chapter two presents a systematic review exploring how self-repOlt measures compare against other well validated measures of psychopathy; Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 2003) and the PCL-SV (Halt, Cox & Hare, 1995). The review demonstrates that whilst they have their strengths, selfrepOlt measures need fmther development. Chapter three details a critical review of the TriPM. This explores the reliability, validity and clinical application of the tool. The strengths and limitation are discussed. Chapter four details an empirical research study testing the construct validity of the TriPM in a sample of personality disordered offenders. Analysis revealed significant relationships between the TriPM constructs and other conceptually relevant measures. Chapter five presents a case study detailing the assessment of personality and risk of intimate partner violence in an adult male community offender. A discussion of the work concludes the thesis.

Abstract:
Ce travail de recherche en didactique des sciences physiques étudie le registre empirique dans sa spécificité et son articulation avec le processus de conceptualisation des équilibres chimiques dans le contexte de l'enseignement scientifique. Le concept d'équilibre chimique que l'on peut qualifier d'"intégrateur" réorganise tout un ensemble de descriptions faites auparavant dans d'autres termes, efface des ruptures entre des catégories trop figées des phénomènes chimiques et s'appuie sur une représentation dynamique du milieu réactionnel. Il permet de rationaliser de nombreuses actions qui sont mises en oeuvre dans des protocoles opératoires et des techniques. Il semble pourtant qu'un tel outil soit difficile à construire et qu'en fin de parcours universitaire peu d'étudiants le mobilisent de façon systématique et efficace. La première partie est descriptive. Elle situe la problématique de ce travail par rapport aux recherches antérieures sur les équilibres chimiques. Elle tente de cerner et d'objectiver la maîtrise qu'ont les étudiants de CAPES, futurs enseignants, de ce concept. Le registre de connaissances que ces étudiants choisissent et appliquent de façon préférentielle est déterminé, la disponibilité de la représentation dynamique des phénomènes chimiques sous - jacente est evaluée ainsi que dans quelle mesure les connaissances techniques et opératoires ont été restructurées par ce concept. La deuxième partie est prospective. Ayant mis en évidence les obstacles "didactiques" (analyse brève des programmes scolaires et de quelques manuels) et leur articulation aux obstacles épistémologiques (analyse historique), nous proposons de repérer quelques précurseurs du concept d'équilibre chimique. Une étude qualitative auprès d'élèves du collège permet de juger de la disponibilité de tels précurseurs qui pourraient servir de structure d'accueil au concept d'équilibre chimique
This research in science education applied to chemistry studies empirical and technical chemical knowledge and how it is related to the conceptualization of chemical equilibrium. The concept of chemical equilibrium, which may be called an integrating concept, reorganises a whole lot of discriptions that were previously expressed in other terms, it obliterates the clashes between set classifications of chemical phenomena and it is inspired by a dynamic representation of chemical system. It contributes to rationalizing many processes involved in scientific tests and technics. Such an aid seems however difficult to establish, and few students able to use it in a systematic and efficient way eyen at the end of their university training. Our research is divided into two different parts. The first one is descriptive. It plans the issue of our research along the line of previous studies on chemical equilibrium. It aims at an objectivation concerning the way students training to be teachers handle and control this concept. We have tried to account for the different levels of knowledge these students select and choose to apply, to evaluate to what extent an underlying dynamical representation of chemical phenomenun is available to them, and to what degree their technical and operating knowledge has been improved by this concept. The second part is prospective. After having pointed out the didactical difficulties (with a brief analysis of school curriculum and textbooks) and how they are related to epistemological difficulties (through a historical analysis) our purpose is to distinguish a few precursory elements relating to the chemical equilibrium concept. A qualitative study of secondary school pupils has allowed us to account for such precursory elements that can be useful as a structural basis for the building up of the chemical equilibrium concept

Abstract:
Nous avons étudié les pratiques des enseignants, à l'école élémentaire, en mathématiques, dans le domaine numérique. Nous avons recueilli 74 protocoles lors de nos observations de classe. Nous les avons regroupés en trois champs conceptuels décrits par Vergnaud : les structures additives, le calcul et la numération et les structures multiplicatives. Nous y avons ensuite, analysé la médiation des enseignants en fonction de paramètres liés à la conceptualisation, rangés dans trois parties, en étroite interaction, que nous appelons : le temps d'apprentissage, le temps d'enseignement et le temps de développement. Nous arrivons à une classification montrant huit "styles de médiation". Des styles basés sur une transmission des savoirs. D'autres faisant appel à l'utilisation de formes de guidage selon les fonctions d'étayage des processus d'interaction de tutelle, de Bruner. Des styles hybrides, instaurant la dévolution de problèmes aux élèves, et avec des formes de guidage. Et, des styles contribuant à une dévolution des problèmes aux élèves, selon les situations envisagées par Brousseau. Nous pensons qu'il est possible de s'appuyer sur ces éléments de classification pour trouver des alternatives
We studied the teacher's practices, in primary school, in the numerical field of mathematics. We gathered 74 protocols that we during our observations into the classrooms. We classified these protocols in three conceptual fields, referring to Vergnaud : additive structures, arithmetic and numeration, and multiplicative structures. We analysed the teacher's mediation in connection with elements of the conceptualisation, enter in the composition of three parts in very closely interactive : the "learning time", "the teaching time" and "the development time". We come to a classification showing eight different "mediation styles". Styles based on the knowledge trasmission. Styles call up the use of guiding forms referring to Bruner's "supporting functions", in the processes of tutelage's interaction. Styles make use of guiding forms and setting up problem's devolution for the pupils. Styles bring to an organisation following several phases in which functions in knowledge are different, with problem's devolution for the pupils, close to the situations described by Brousseau. We think that it's possible to rely upon these classification elements to propose alternatives in the teacher's practices

Abstract:
La perspective de cette thèse est de proposer une description de la dynamique cognitive à l'œuvre lorsque le sujet construit un nouveau savoir en s'appuyant sur une analogie, qu'il est aussi en train de construire. La position épistémologique est avancée au cours des trois premiers chapitres, qui adopte une théorie des représentations du sujet considérées dans leurs interactions avec l'environnement physique et social. Un modèle de l'analogie entre systèmes modifiés est introduit, propice à l'étude des activités de modélisation scientifique : un nouveau morphisme est dérivé des transformations analogues d'un premier morphisme. Deux recherches, dont les résultats sont présentés dans les cinq chapitres suivants, ont été réalisées dans le cadre de travaux pratiques en sciences physiques, en premier cycle universitaire. Les systèmes étudies par les étudiants sont analogues du point de vue de l'équation décrivant leur évolution vers l'équilibre : transfert de chaleur, conduction électrique et écoulement hydraulique. La première recherche analyse, sur la base d'entretiens menés avec les étudiants, leurs représentations des analogies spontanément réalisées à partir de leurs manipulations expérimentales. Nous montrons que ces représentations concernent différents registres cognitifs : le registre des invariants opératoires pour l'identification des objets, des évènements et des lois ; le registre des situations pour la délimitation du domaine de validité de l'analogie ; et le registre des signifiants (exploitation des formalismes, et des particularités de la langue). La seconde recherche analyse les processus cognitifs mobilises dans une activité de simulation d'un phénomène complexe dérivé d'un phénomène simple. Nous montrons le passage d'une modélisation analogique à une modélisation conceptuelle. En conclusion, le raisonnement par analogie engagerait les registres cognitifs les moins élaborés concernant un domaine à tirer parti de leurs équivalents d'un autre domaine.

Middleton, Simon C. "Mental toughness : conceptualisation and measurement." Thesis, View thesis, 2007. http://handle.uws.edu.au:8081/1959.7/18959.

Full text
Abstract:
Major challenges facing sport psychology researchers, practitioners, coaches, and athletes include understanding mental toughness and knowing how to train for it. Athletes and coaches have long identified mental toughness as an important attribute for performance. Practitioners have devised training approaches for mental toughness—often based on anecdotal notions of what mental toughness is and how it should be developed. The research available on mental toughness is scarce, with only a few recent but limited advances. Fundamental to the challenge of understanding and training mental toughness, there is a critical need for research to develop a model of mental toughness that is not based on anecdote, but rather on sound research methods and theoretical underpinnings. Following on from conceptualisation, there is a need to develop an instrument to measure mental toughness. Taken together, a conceptual model and a measurement approach are the tools needed by researchers to develop and test mental toughness training programs. The purpose of this thesis was to address some of these issues by capitalising on the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative methods to: (a) critically examine a popular test of mental toughness; (b) determine specific characteristics of mental toughness and understand the interrelationship between those characteristics; (c) develop a model of mental toughness that draws together specific characteristics; (d) produce a mental toughness definition; (e) develop the Mental Toughness Inventory, a robust and valid instrument that demonstrates a sound factor structure, strong reliabilities, and invariance across gender, age, and level of competition (i.e., demonstrating within-network validity); and (f) determine the relative congruence between scores on the Mental Toughness Inventory and theoretically related constructs (i.e., demonstrating between-network validity). In line with these aims, Study 1 evaluated the psychometric properties of an existing, popular, and yet unsubstantiated test of mental toughness—the Psychological Performance Inventory (PPI). Given the breadth and depth of mental toughness as evidenced by the literature, the PPI was not expected to provide a reasonable model. Instead, the study was intended to inform the researcher on the psychometric strengths of the PPI and guide the development of a new measure of mental toughness throughout the remainder of the thesis. The PPI was examined using both within-network and between-network validity checks and responses from 263 student-athletes in Years 7–12 (12 to 19 years of age). Study 2 was a qualitative study that examined the interview data of over 30 elite sportspeople to determine the characteristics of mental toughness. The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual model and definition of mental toughness that draws together all the characteristics in a way that adds meaning and clarity to the concept. The purpose of Studies 3 and 4 was to construct, refine, and validate the Mental Toughness Inventory (MTI)—a measure of mental toughness emanating from the findings of Studies 1 and 2. Studies 3 and 4 critically examined the construct validity of the MTI using both within-network and between-network validation on the basis of responses from institution-based athletes (from sports programs such as those run by the Australian Institute of Sport) and school-based athletes (from a selective sports high school). Furthermore, Studies 3 and 4 provided the scope to examine invariance of the mental toughness factor structure across groups, group mean-level differences, and interaction effects. The results of Study 1 provided a number of insights into the status of the PPI, raised an interesting conundrum regarding the interface between conceptualisation and instrumentation, and provided guidance for instrument development that would become the empirical basis of subsequent quantitative studies. The qualitative results of Study 2 unearthed a multidimensional model of mental toughness, containing 12 first-order factors each of which contribute to a higher order (or Global) mental toughness factor. The 12 mental toughness characteristics identified are: self-efficacy, potential, mental self-concept, value, personal bests, commitment, stress minimisation, perseverance, positive comparisons, positivity, task familiarity, and task focus. Study 3 involved the construction of the Mental Toughness Inventory (MTI), with results revealing excellent validity from a within-network perspective (including confirmatory factor analysis, goodness of fit, internal reliability, and invariance across groups). Study 4 results revealed that MTI factors correlated more strongly with theoretically-related concepts and less strongly with unrelated concepts—thus demonstrating between-network validity (convergent and discriminant). Study 4 also revealed a number of significant main effects of age (favouring older athletes), gender (favouring male athletes) and group (a contextual effect where institution-based athletes rate themselves more ―rigorously relative to strong contextual effects, which need to be carefully considered when assessing and developing mental toughness. For sporting organisations, this research points to a number of things that can be done at an institutional level—particularly in relation to creating an environment that is most likely to facilitate the positive development of various components of mental toughness. Finally, for research and continued theorising about mental toughness, the findings from this thesis support viewing mental toughness as a combination of cognitive, behavioural, and emotive processes that work together in combating adversity or pressure. Taken together, the conceptualising and empirical works conducted in this study are proposed to advance the field of research—creating opportunities to study the effectiveness of interventions designed to enhance mental toughness. Furthermore, the results provide practitioners, coaches, and athletes with a concrete understanding of mental toughness such that they are better equipped to devise training approaches and to handle pressure and adversity en route to athletic success.

Abstract:
Le concept d'organisation virtuelle est souvent associé dans la littérature scientifique, comme dans la presse journalistique, à des entreprises dont l'existence même des activités est liée à celle des Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (NTIC) : Start-ups sur Internet, sites portails sur le Web, etc. Cette seule perspective institutionnelle est-elle satisfaisante ? Une telle attention accordée aux formes d'organisations virtuelles les plus abouties, ne nous conduit-elle pas à négliger d'autres perspectives plus ingéniériques ? Ne convient-il pas de se demander si un ensemble plus large d'entreprises ne se situerait pas dans une période de transition ? Les travaux menés sur le sujet sont effectivement assez récents (début des années 90) et le manque de recul théorique attire notre attention sur nombre d'ambiguïtés et d'interrogations méritant de sérieux éclairages. Cette recherche vise tout d'abord à définir ce qu'est une organisation virtuelle et en quoi elle représente une forme d'organisation novatrice. L'approche processuelle qui est proposée conduit ensuite à s'interroger sur la mise en œuvre de ce concept dans les entreprise. Quels types d'organisations virtuelles peuvent être distingués ? Peut-on en attendre une meilleure réactivité ? Quels sont les impacts et les facteurs organisationnels qui sont associés à leur mise en œuvre ? La partie empirique aborde, auprès d'une centaine d'entreprises, différentes formes d'organisations virtuelles. En les confrontant afin, d'une part, d'établir certaines comparaisons et, d'autre part, d'analyser les logiques et les contextes organisationnels sous-jacents, elle met en perspective plusieurs inférences théoriques comme managériales, reliées à ce concept émergent en Sciences de Gestion. Les résultats font notamment apparaître qu'il est réducteur qu'une organisation virtuelle se résume à des processus de coordination et de routines inter-firmes rattachés à la valorisation de l'activité courante. Les projets les plus " porteurs " sont ceux qui incluent des tâches témoignant d'une intelligence co-construite de l'évolution de l'environnement et des nouveaux marchés qui s'y dessinent.

Abstract:
At the time when it is important to act on the Climate Emergency and other pro-sustainable efforts, the key question is how to drive change. This paper examines two conceptualisations of change in architectural history in an attempt to support a better understanding of architecture-specific conceptualisations of change itself. Such understanding could offer real value in articulating how to drive pro-sustainable change in architecture. The paper identifies two conceptualisations of change which are easily found in existing writing on change in architectural history. One such conceptualisation considers architectural developments in terms of cyclical styles, or triads of early, high, and decadent stages of development of styles. Attributed to the 18th century writing of Johann Joachim Winckelmann on ancient Greek art, this conceptualisation presents one useful interpretation which links the change with natural growth. A simpler conceptualisation of two-point change is interpreted using the minor/major interpretations of change, as developed by Joan Ockman, based on the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The key proposition is that the selected historical examples of conceptualisation of change reveal useful aspects of the past patterns of change in architecture. These might help understand how to drive needed change now. One critical factor in the transition which is facing us now, is that in contrast to many past transitions which were driven by technological innovation, current transition requires development of technologies capable to support the change which is scientifically proven as needed and real. Therefore, some of the historical natural ease of the past transitions in the current contexts needs active driving of change. Without an intention to propose a holistic new framework, the main value of this paper is that it identifies some of the key conceptualisations which are evident in architectural history and that could be useful in driving pro-sustainable change.

Full text
Abstract:
Education plays a key role in promoting fundamental values, citizens’ rights and responsibilities as well as social inclusion, in particularly so by reducing hostility towards vulnerable social groups. Therefore, all stages of education, including higher education, are important in the development of civic transversal competence. To ensure sustainable, qualitative, modern, and competitive higher education, the education facilitating the productive involvement of students in civil society and, consequently, their competitiveness in the labour market is a topical issue in the context of Latvia too. In keeping with this rationale, in January 2020, the University of Latvia started the implementation of the first round of the research “Assessment of Competences of Higher Education Students and Dynamics of Their Development in the Study Period” with the study of students’ civic transversal competence as its part. The paper aims to conceptualize students’ civic transversal competence, to determine its criteria and their indicators at different levels of higher education. Using the qualitative data processing program NVivo 12.0, there was carried out an analysis of 20 recent studies and higher education documents (2014-2020), as well as examples of good practice. The result is a descriptive matrix for civic transversal competence assessment, which can be used as a basis for the development of assessment tools.

Full text
Abstract:
CONTEXT: Social Licence to Operate (SLO) encompasses the broad socio-political understanding on the part of multiple stakeholders that a mining operation’s social and environmental impacts and measures are legitimate and acceptable. The multiple and variously interacting stakeholder groups— local communities, environmental actors, Indigenous communities, regulators, local governments, industry peak bodies, financiers, affiliated businesses—have the proven capacity to confer and/or disrupt a mining operation’s SLO. The presence or absence of a SLO can have significant consequences not only for stakeholder groups, including the mining operation, but also for the shared development of a good mining future. Conceptualisation of what is ‘good mining’ is central to future planning and decisions around development, adoption and reception of new technologies and sustainable mining futures. CHECKLIST PURPOSE This first of its kind tool seeks to facilitate genuine multistakeholder interactions and development of a dynamic shared SLO to advance good mining.

Abstract:
Sexual assault and sexual harassment (SASH) remain pressing issues on university campuses, making it imperative for higher education institutions to develop prevention strategies. Within this context, education plays a pivotal role in addressing the underlying factors contributing to SASH, while also providing crucial information about care and support pathways for survivors. This paper, authored by practitioners from the Australian National University’s (ANU) Respectful Relationships Unit (RRU), reflects on the conceptualisation, implementation, and evaluation of a large-scale respect and consent education program. Tailored to ANU's context, the program utilised a multi-modal approach including an online module, face-to-face workshops, and residential hall pilots. Challenges, such as engagement and sustainability, were addressed through collaborative partnerships and continuous improvement efforts. Evaluation, conducted in collaboration with social scientists from the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods (CSRM), provided insights for refinement and future directions. ANU's ongoing commitment to community engagement, innovation, equity, and evaluation underscores its dedication to fostering safer and more inclusive campus environments. Through collaboration and a shared commitment to prevention, ANU aims to make meaningful progress towards a campus free of sexual harm.

Full text
Abstract:
As countries across the globe pursue economic development, the improvement of individual and societal well-being has increasingly become an overarching goal. In the global South, in particular, high levels of poverty, inequality and deteriorating social fabrics remain significant challenges. Programmes and projects for addressing these challenges have had some, but limited, impact. This occasional paper analyses well-being in Gauteng province from a capability perspective, using a standard ‘capability approach’ consistent with Amartya Sen’s first conceptualisation, which was then operationalised by Martha Nussbaum. Earlier research on poverty and inequality in the Gauteng City-Region was mainly based on objective characteristics of well-being such as income, employment, housing and schooling. Using data from the Gauteng City-Region Observatory’s Quality of Life Survey IV for 2015/16, our capability approach provides a more holistic view of well-being by focusing on both objective and subjective aspects simultaneously. The results confirm the well-known heterogeneity in human conditions among South African demographic groups, namely that capability achievements vary across race, age, gender, income level and location. However, we observe broader (in both subjective and objective dimensions) levels of deprivation that are otherwise masked in the earlier studies. In light of these findings, the paper recommends that policies are directly targeted towards improving those capability indicators where historically disadvantaged and vulnerable groups show marked deprivation. In addition, given the spatial heterogeneities in capability achievements, we recommend localised interventions in capabilities that are lagging in certain areas of the province.

Quak, Evert-jan. Missing the Forest for the Trees: Ekiti State’s Quest for Forestry Revenue and its Impact on Forest Management. Institute of Development Studies, July 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/ictd.2024.078.

Full text
Abstract:
Effective forest management is required to reduce deforestation, protect local communities, tackle climate change, and restore biodiversity. Like other countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Nigerian federal and decentralised governments have to find a balance between managing their forests sustainably, and other demands for the trees and land. Local actors use the forest for economic activities, such as harvesting trees for charcoal or timber, and others want to expand agricultural land. No single policy solution can guarantee to sustainably manage forests and halt deforestation. Land use regulations, stronger control of forestry industry practices, more public investment in forest management, and better tax and subsidy policies, must all play a role. This paper assesses the current forestry tax regime in Ekiti State, one of eight Nigerian states where forests represent more than 50 per cent of land area, and where forest revenue has been historically relevant. Based on 16 interviews with government state officials, forest officers, and actors from the industry, and data from the Ekiti Forestry Commission, our analysis suggests that ongoing depletion of forest resources is partially connected to an excessive focus on their capacity to generate revenue. The conceptualisation of the Forestry Commission as a revenue-raising rather than management agency, a continuous drive to extract revenue from the sector through outdated tax rates, and a view of industry potential disconnected from the existing stock, all perversely led to a lower contribution from forestry to the state budget.
