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.

Full text

Abstract:

‘Disaster education’ has been studied in various disciplines such as disaster risk management and environmental studies. However, disaster education is a relatively ‘new enquiry’ in the field of education. Particularly, the literature that conceptualises ‘disaster education’ in education is minimal. This paper aims to fill this gap by synthesising existing disaster education literature linking them with educational concepts. The paper suggests three possible conceptualisations for disaster education. The first is based on a temporal distinction between education undertaken in usual times or unusual times. The second conceptualisation applies modes of learning and teaching: formal, non-formal and informal. Thirdly, establishing disaster education as a sub-discipline in the field of education is proposed: one sub-discipline is lifelong learning and the other is public pedagogy. Critiquing each method of conceptualisation, the paper argues for the suitability and usefulness of locating ‘disaster education’ within public pedagogy.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTConflicting empirical findings in studies assessing the relationship between emotional labour and negative job outcomes are partly due to the lack of clarity regarding the conceptualisation and measurement of emotional dissonance. Emotional dissonance has been variously described and measured as an antecedent or as a consequence of the performance of emotional labour, as well as an inherent component of emotional labour. Recent conceptualisations of dissonance have proposed a mediator role for emotional dissonance between emotional labour and the outcome of emotional exhaustion. Concepts from cognitive dissonance theory support this conceptualisation and were used to empirically test this proposed relationship with a sample of 181 staff from two tourism based organisations providing a range of visitor/customer services. The results demonstrated a significant partial mediation role for emotional dissonance in the relationship between emotional labour and emotional exhaustion, supporting the use of a more theoretically and methodologically consistent measure of emotional dissonance.

Abstract:

In this article, we explore how entrepreneurial journalists from a wide variety of national contexts present ‘impact’ as one of the aims in their work. By exploring the variety, incongruences, and strategic considerations in the discourse on impact of those at the forefront of journalistic innovation, we provide a much-needed empirical account of the changing conceptualisation of what journalism is and what it is for. Our data show how impact becomes an ideologically as well as strategically driven endeavour as the entrepreneurs try to carve out their niche and position themselves both in relation to traditional counterparts and other startups. Ultimately, we provide empirical insight into a number of tensions that remain underlying in the discourse on constructive journalism, an increasingly popular conceptualisation that refers to a future-oriented, solution-driven, active form of journalism. We show how our interviewees marry different, commonly-deemed incompatible practices and values, thus challenging binary distinctions at the heart of conceptualisations of journalism, also perpetuated in the discourse on constructive journalism. As pioneers in the field, startups can be argued to inspire journalistic as well as social innovation, and furthermore push for a more inclusive understanding of the divergent conceptualisations and practices that together make up the amalgam that we call ‘journalism’.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper first elaborates on the notions of conceptualisation and cultural conceptualisations. Cultural conceptualisations enable the members of a cultural group to think, so to speak, in one mind. These conceptualisations are not equally imprinted in the minds of people but are rather represented in a distributed fashion across the minds in a cultural group. Two major kinds of cultural conceptualisations are cultural schemas and cultural categories. These group-level conceptualisations emerge from and act as the locus for the interactions between people from the same cultural background. The members negotiate and renegotiate these conceptualisations across generations. The paper employs the notion of 'distributed representation' in presenting a model of cultural conceptualisations. It then provides examples of such conceptualisations and discusses how they may be instantiated in various artefacts, such as discourse. The paper also proposes a general framework for the identification of cultural conceptualisations, based on the adoption of an ethnographic approach towards the analysis of discourse. Examples from Australian Aboriginal cultural conceptualisations are provided throughout the paper.

Abstract:

People using computer systems are required to work with the concepts implemented by system developers. If there is a poor fit between system concepts and users’ pre-existing conceptualisation of domain and task, this places a high workload on the user as they translate between their own conceptualisation and that imposed by the system. The focus of this paper is on how to identify users’ conceptualisations of a domain – ideally, prior to system implementation. For this, it is necessary to gather verbal data from people that allows them to articulate their conceptual models in ways that are not overly constrained by existing devices but allows them to articulate taken-for-granted knowledge. Possible study types include semi-structured interviews, contextual inquiry interviews and think-aloud protocols. The authors discuss how to design a study, covering choosing between different kinds of study, detailed planning of questions and tasks, data gathering, and preliminary data analysis.

Abstract:

Based on Lakoff and Johnson’s model of conceptual metaphors (CMs) postulated in Metaphors We Live By (1980) this paper summarizes the main findings of an investigation of the English and German conceptualisations of the emotion concepts of boredom and Langeweile. Starting from LakofF and Johnson’s claim that the metaphor as a linguistic device is only possible because the human mind perceives in metaphors, i.e., that metaphor is a cognitive structuring device of human conceptualisation, the paper presents some major linguistically realised metaphors in both languages. Following the model, two CMs are promoted (boredom is a deadly disease and Langeweile is a wasteland) that show that there are -contrary to LakofF and Johnson’s theory -many similarities in conceptualisation between the two cultures but as many differences. Furthermore, the results and the discussion of the analysis of metaphors show that Lakoff and Johnson falsely claimed that metaphors which cannot be comprised in a CM are not relevant for human understanding of the concept.

Abstract:

Knowledge about the relationship between personality traits and workplace burnout in teachers is predominantly based on the operationalisation of personality as a stable construct (global personality) and the operationalisation of workplace burnout by means of the Maslach et al. model. However, according to contemporary conceptualisations, personality can also be considered as a context-dependent construct. In addition, Schaufeli et al. have presented their own conceptualisation of burnout at work, which, in contrast to Maslach et al.'s model, is based on clear theoretical assumptions. The aim of the study was therefore to investigate the relationship between personality and burnout at work based on the contemporary conceptualisation of personality (global versus contextualised) and burnout at work (Schaufeli et al. model). A correlational study was conducted with a sample of 142 secondary school teachers. The research findings point to the contribution of the global and contextualised personality dimensions to the dimensions of burnout in the workplace.

Abstract:

This paper is a corpus based study of the cultural meaning of figuration in the Malay lexicon. Initially, polysemy is examined for evidence of figurative conceptualisation at the single word level for two body part terms, mata ‘the eye’ and kaki ‘the foot /leg’. Compound forms are then examined to identify the extent to which similar conceptualisations are found. Finally, figurative phraseological units (simpulan bahasd) are examined for figurative conceptualisations. We consider the relationship between figurative meaning at the phraseological and lexical levels. The identification of figurative language is made with reference to dictionaries and its saliency is gauged with reference to a corpus of contemporary Malay.

Abstract:

AbstractBackground and aims: The aim of the present systematic review was to identify psychometric tools developed to assess problematic exercise in order to identify and compare their theoretical conceptualisations on which they are based. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in the electronic databases Web of Science, Scielo, PsychINFO, PsycTEST and SCOPUS from their inception to January 2020. Results: Seventeen assessment instruments met the eligibility criteria to be included in the present review. The instruments were classified according to their conceptualisation into five groups: (i) problematic exercise as an end of an exercise continuum, (ii) problematic exercise as a means of regulating body size and weight, (iii) problematic exercise as dependence, (iv) problematic exercise as a behavioural addiction and (v) no clear conceptualisation. Discussion: The results suggest that the conceptualisations of the assessment instruments have resulted in a strong dichotomy in relation to the primary or secondary character of the problematic exercise that might be limiting the capacity of the instruments to adequately capture the multidimensionality of this construct. Conclusions: Given the interest in understanding the complexity surrounding the problematic exercise, future research should develop more comprehensive definitions of this construct. This would allow a greater conceptual consensus to be reached that would allow progress to be made in the study of the problematic exercise.

Abstract:

Technological developments continue to have an existential impact on the normative understanding of the community radio sector of South Africa. Advances, trends and changes in the technological sphere have meant that as researchers we need to keep up and re-think the long debated matter of “community” within the community radio sector. Within the discourse of continuing research,this re-thinking is being necessitated by the rapid introduction of new media and new forms of information and communication technologies (ICT) within the broadcasting space. In addition to these ICTs, the mandate and growth of some of the media institutions broadcasting as community radio stations in South Africa have changed – in some cases from small to regional broadcasters. In this paper, I examine the impact of ICTs as well as the accelerated growth of some community broadcasting institutions and their impact on the normative and conceptual understanding of the broadcasting sector. Using a case study perspective, the examination of such developments within the sector has been carried out through Vukani Community Radio (VCR) as a case study. This is one of the oldest community radio stations in South Africa. Drawing on theories about the decoloniality of knowledge, this paper argues that new trends that are emerging within the technological space, as well as community of reception dynamics, forces the academic, research and policy fraternity to re-look the conceptual understanding of the community radio sector of South Africa.

Full text

Abstract:

Le tourisme polaire connaît un début de massification. Compte tenu des grands espaces et des ressources naturelles et culturelles relativement fragiles auxquelles il fait appel, ce tourisme nécessite des modes de gestion particuliers. La création de codes de conduite pour sensibiliser les visiteurs à l’adoption de pratiques environnementales ne suffit pas à enrayer les comportements délinquants. En soutenant l’idée que la gestion des ressources dont dépend un phénomène social nécessite une compréhension de son concept, cet article se penche sur la conceptualisation de l’expérience du tourisme polaire. Celui-ci demeure non défini, sauf peut-être dans une perspective géographique. En s’appuyant uniquement sur une approche géographique, le tourisme polaire est ainsi réduit à une conquête souvent abusive des latitudes extrêmes. Sans rejeter l’approche géographique, cette étude propose d’aborder le tourisme polaire sous un angle sociologique. Cette discipline permet alors de concevoir le tourisme polaire comme une expérience de l’imaginaire (polaire) collectif. Ce faisant, elle ouvre la voie à des activités centrées davantage autour de ressources abstraites (l’imaginaire des pôles) que des ressources fragiles en milieux naturels et ainsi davantage écologiques et durables.

Abstract:

The relatively poor evidence-base regarding the effectiveness of many nonpharmacological therapies for people with dementia has been well documented (Hulme, 2010; Livingston et al., 2005). It has been suggested that a hindrance to establishing their credentials has been the lack of theories regarding people’s experiences of dementia (James, Clifford & Mackenzie, 2010). There are relatively few exceptions to this – such as: Cohen-Mansfield (2000, Model of unmet needs); Kitwood (1997, Five Elements Model); Stokes (2001, Psychogenic Model of Challenging Behaviour) – see James (2011) for a review. If we contrast this impoverished position with that of treatments for the affective disorders, we can see that the various theoretical models derived for depression, panic, obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychosis etc., have enabled the development of tailored treatment packages; each with its own evidence-base (James, 2010). Further, because the latter disorders have frameworks that show how distress is derived and maintained, clinical insight is gained in how the distress can be alleviated.

Abstract:

The article off ers an exposition of the philosophical problematization of modernity. The author consid-ers three possible models for the thematization of modernity in the perspective of the Kantian formulation of the problem: 1) ontological, associated with the project of M. Heidegger, where the question of the historical time of modernity is pushed into the background, while the question of temporality of human existence. At the same time, the question of modernity becomes universal and must be eliminated in the future; 2) anthropological, which con-sists in preserving the pragmatic perspective of considering a person, which implies a rejection of ontology, but opens up prospects for the development of the humanities. Here the question of modernity is not eliminated, but is transferred to the fi eld of historical epistemology; 3) postmodernist, associated with the elimination of the question of man, where modernity again appears as a unique event, but left in the past. The author records the insuffi ciency of both projects for the revival of metaphysics and programs for creating traumatic history, which equally reproduce the anthropological confi guration of philosophy, and concludes that it is necessary to develop a new model of modernity — an aesthetic one.

Abstract:

Abstract The current article attempts to analyze the concept of “wolf” and its conceptualisations by native Kazakh people through the study of Kazakh idioms, set expressions, proverbs, sayings, and quotations with this component. The objective was to conduct the conceptual analysis in order to discern figurative-associative and evaluative meaning of the concept “wolf”. By presenting the cognitive model of this concept in the linguistic consciousness of the Kazakhs, its conceptualisation is demonstrated, the associative nature of the concept “wolf” and its universal, ideological and ethnocultural features are manifested. It was found that the concept “wolf” has various conceptualisations, reflecting the Kazakhs’ naive national-linguistic picture of the world and evokes interpretations with positive and negative connotations as well.

Abstract:

Critical Theory, insofar as it seeks to “liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them” (Horkheimer 1982: 244), continually engages with a critical conceptualisation of the subject of its enquiry – humanity – and the societies it inhabits. The third South African Society for Critical Theory annual conference took place on 22 and 23 November 2019 at the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal on the theme “Contested Identities: Critical Conceptualisations of the Human”. The conference served to re-affirm the continuing relevance of critical theory for enquiring not just into contemporary society, but also for asking questions of our conceptualisations of the human and human identity.

Abstract:

This article presents a history of ideas about the origins of love as a universal human experience, beginning with Freud's formulations and expanding concepts in the light of findings about the role of attachment and love in the earliest relationship between mother and baby. Conceptualisations based on the work of Klein, Winnicott, and Bion are linked to recent findings from neuroscience to arrive at a more complex conceptualisation of the origins and role of love for mothers, fathers, children and adults.

Abstract:

Abstract The aim of this article is to explore the conceptualisation of benchmarking, ranking and good practice sharing tools within European Union gender equality policymaking. In the first part, the article looks at these soft law measures applied within intergovernmental cooperation. Stemming from the extensive body of literature, the study approaches these measures as a form of scientific knowledge, which is diversely applied within policymaking. Next, the article directs various points of criticism at these policymaking tools through different variables that may hinder knowledge use. The second section of this article further focuses on the Open Method of Coordination and the role of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) in relation to gender equality policies. The empirical part of this article is focused on the criticism of EIGE’s External Evaluation Report and the different conceptualisations of scientific knowledge use which are presented within this audit document. As such, this article aims to contribute to a new conceptualisation of the technocratic tools of benchmarking, ranking and good practice sharing within the highly ideological area of gender equality policies.

Abstract:

Background: Voice, as an important employee behaviour, channels ideas, concerns, and suggestions upward in the organisation and is often the only way for managers to become aware of issues and problems that, potentially, may be detrimental to the organisation’s performance. Aim: The aim of this article is to present a review on the conceptualisation of voice, with the focus on the different ways in which the concept is defined, categorised and measured. This is required as a comprehensive and contemporary operationalisation of voice and will ensure that future research is linked to the dominant body of knowledge. Setting: Literature presents employee voice behaviour in divergent ways, which applies to the definition, typologies and measurement of voice. This divergence poses a challenge for researchers and practitioners alike. Method: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to obtain a large spectrum of definitions, categorisations and assessments of voice. These were examined for breadth of adoption, consensus in terms of elements and, in the case of assessment, the acceptability of psychometric properties of measuring instruments. Results: After reviewing a substantial number of the articles published in peer-reviewed journals between the years 1970 and 2019, the three most popular definitions of voice are presented, the three most common conceptualisations on the forms/types of voice identified, and three most-used measuring scales with acceptable validity and reliability acknowledged. The definition, typologies, and measuring instrument proposed by Maynes and Podsakoff (2014) seems to be the standard in voice research. Their theorising on all three aspects is well accepted and forms the basis for many recent studies on voice. Conclusion: Building on previous research, and considering recent publications, the comprehensive conceptualisation of voice is best described by the seminal work of Maynes and Podsakoff (2014), which integrates the extant knowledge on the topic and how it is operationalised. Managerial implications: Researchers and practitioners are now aware of most adopted and authoritative conceptualisations of employee voice behaviour, which should provide them with greater confidence to engage in discussions on the topic as well as in facilitating research in the future.

Abstract:

Climate change (CC) is widely accepted as the major threat of our time, posing unprecedented challenges to humanity. Yet very little is known regarding the ways in which upper-secondary curricula address the need to educate about this crisis. This study contributes to the field of CC education theoretically and empirically. From the theoretical perspective, the study contributes two CC conceptualisation frameworks: a characterisation of the nature of CC, and a mapping of the scope of CC content knowledge. The empirical contribution consists of examining CC education implementation within upper-secondary curriculum in the state of Victoria, Australia. Specifically we examined the CC conceptualisation and the scope of content present in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) study designs. A total of 10 out of 94 study designs qualified for examination through referencing CC. The findings suggest that none of the study designs present a complete conceptualisation of the nature of CC. Common conceptualisations within the study designs perceive CC as a cause or an outcome, a problem of management, or of technological efficiency. CC content within the study designs is limited, and presents misconceptions, including the assumption that CC is a natural change caused by astronomical and solar systems. A cross-curriculum integration approach within the study designs is found to be ineffective. We conclude that CC presents a paradigm shift which brings about the new discipline of CC. There is a need for curricula reforms to address and incorporate CC as a coherent body of knowledge.

Abstract:

Contemporary Conceptualisations of Translation Activity Proposed by Representatives of French Translation Enterprises In this article, we examine to what extent the traditional conceptualisation of translation activity, i.e. the interlingual translation, has been enriched recently by elements of intralingual and intersemiotic translation. In the exploratory stage of the study, carried out in the late 2015, interviews with representatives of five French translation enterprises were analysed. The study reveals elements that demand an enlargement of the concept of translation: new transcreation service, audiovisual translation assignments and need for reformulating poorly written texts before translation.

Abstract:

What conceptualisations of the child might explain the communicative and rhetorical significance of their selection as targets in acts of terror? It is argued that the child as an embodiment of modernity’s enthralment to the future’s promises of progress or redemption puts them on this front line. As an alternative to modernity’s futurism, Surrealism presents us with a conceptualisation of the child that anticipates contemporary ideas of ‘queerness’. The recognition of the child’s transgressive attitude to the credo of modernity can be a way of resisting increasingly instrumentalised ways of thinking about children.

Résumé Alors que la mondialisation pousse les entreprises et les États à construire leur croissance en dehors du cadre national, cet article vise à mettre en évidence les modalités de l’internationalisation des PME libanaises. À partir des analyses théoriques de cette question proposées par la théorie incrémentale (Uppsala), la théorie des réseaux et la théorie économique (IDE), est construit un protocole d’enquête permettant d’apprécier les modalités d’insertion d’un échantillon de PME dans les échanges internationaux. Nous montrons que les formes d’internationalisation observées sont diversifiées sur le plan des modalités et des stratégies mises en oeuvre. La section 1 propose une revue de littérature sur les trois théories de l’internationalisation qui conditionnent le questionnement empirique. La section 2 décrit le contexte libanais qui sert de toile de fond à l’analyse factuelle à partir duquel nous construisons un cadre conceptuel de l’internationalisation des PME. La section 3 présente les résultats ainsi qu’une discussion.

Abstract:

The present brief article sketches the various ways in which health has been defined and measured in quantitative linked register and survey research. Health, mortality, morbidity, functioning, quality of life and biomarkers are considered. A case is made for using the survey questionnaire measure of limiting long-standing illness in labour market economics. Il presente articolo delinea i vari modi in cui la salute è stata definita e misurata nella ricerca su dati di tipo survey e quantitativi di fonte amministrativa. Sono presi in considerazione salute, mortalità, morbilità, capacità funzionali, qualità della vita e biomarcatori. Negli studi di economia del lavoro, si sostiene l'opportunità di utilizzare le misure – derivanti da questionario – relative alle malattie di lungo corso che comportano limitazioni per i lavoratori.

Abstract:

Cet article a pour objet d'apporter une contribution à la conceptualisation de l'implication et à une meilleure compréhension de sa mesure. Afin de mieux la comprendre, celui-ci fait clairement la distinction entre le concept lui-même, ses causes et ses conséquences. Suivant ce schéma directeur, il montre que l'implication a deux composantes principales, l'une durable, l'autre contextuelle dont les causes sont de trois types, liées aux caractéristiques psychologiques du consommateur, la nature spécifique du produit et les circonstances de sa consommation. Une analyse des conséquences théoriques de cette conceptualisation fait apparaître que l'implication affecte aussi bien les éléments constitutifs du processus de décision d'achat que des orientations comportementales plus durables. Enfin, d'un point de vue pratique, il apparaît que la mesure de l'implication selon ses causes, suivant la procédure proposée par Kapferer et Laurent est de loin la plus pertinente pour l'étude du comportement et des pratiques de consommation.
