Ce que les experts et leurs savoirs ne veulent pas savoir sur l’expérience scolaire
Authors: de Lajonquière Léandro
Published: August 2020

Le texte reprend l’opposition imaginaire entre la « transmission » et « l’apprendre » devenue centrale dans le roman pédagogique français afin de la subvertir à l’appui de la thèse du sujet divisé. Comme la transmission des connaissances dans le champ de la parole et du langage ne se produit qu’à l’insu de celui qui enseigne ¬ le maître ¬ et de celui qui apprend – le disciple ¬, le fantasme pédagogique national est censé mettre en scène à sa manière le manque de rapport entre le monde adulte et l’enfant. Le fait de ne pas vouloir savoir qu’on ne peut pas savoir qu’il n’y a pas de savoir sur le désir en cause dans le lien éducatif donne corps à l’imaginaire actuel centré sur l’innovation pédagogique permanente. Ainsi, la lamentation sur une crise perpétuelle de l’éducation devient inévitable.
Nouvelles normativités et décrochage éthique de l’Autre : quelle place pour la transmission de la culture à l’école ?
Authors: Pirone Ilaria
Published: August 2020

À l’appui de différentes expériences de recherche et de formation, cette contribution interprète certaines impasses des adolescents à l’école comme des formes d’écriture du discours « le mal de la jeunesse » (Lacan, 1972), et propose de réinterroger les nouvelles modalités de transmission inhérentes à notre modernité. Ces modalités reflètent les remaniements du lien social et donnent à lire des formes de dénouage, voire de clivage, des trois registres : Réel, Symbolique, Imaginaire.
De l’incestuel et du meurtre en clinique du handicap mental
Authors: Mathonnat Christine
Published: August 2020

Le sujet porteur d’un handicap mental présente un aspect déficitaire qui convoque l’environnement premier et les professionnels de l’accompagnement éducatif, au plus près du corps du sujet, pris pour le sujet lui-même. Des soins lui sont prodigués sur le mode des premiers soins que la mère administre à l’ infans . Ce rapport intime au corps du handicap place la rencontre sous le signe de l’incestuel. Plutôt que d’un « en-moins », le Je en devenir est davantage porteur d’un « en-plus » se manifestant dans l’exigence d’une activité pulsionnelle débordante au détriment d’une organisation érogène de la pulsion. Nous examinerons une situation institutionnelle en foyer d’hébergement où l’expression pulsionnelle infiltre les liens sujet-professionnel à travers la dynamique incestuelle. Elle nous est apportée par une équipe d’éducateurs lors d’un temps où nous intervenons comme psychologue, dans un co-travail d’élaboration clinique. Le sujet est confronté aux effets mortifères du pulsionnel que l’acte éducatif, dans l’insu, réactualise.
Vers une approche métapsychologique du processus d’effacement psychique
Authors: Vial Aubey Florence , Brun Anne
Published: August 2020

Cet article propose d’interroger une modalité spécifique du travail analytique autour de cliniques confrontant à des zones de retraits de la subjectivité ; il s’agira d’envisager ces formes de retrait psychique, relevant d’expériences archaïques traumatiques non symbolisées, non pas comme un simple état d’effacement psychique mais comme le noyau d’un processus d’effacement psychique, appartenant à une formation du moi. La clinique mettra en évidence l’hypothèse que l’effacement psychique ne serait plus simple témoin d’une dissociation, ni seulement l’expression d’un clivage, mais qu’il serait organisé selon les exigences d’un processus appartenant à l’organisation du moi du sujet, processus charnière qui tenterait d’articuler et d’intégrer les expériences traumatiques au moi du sujet. Le premier temps du traumatisme engendrerait une dissolution du moi dans des expériences désubjectivantes, perte le second temps de survie psychique s’organiserait en un double retournement, retournement contre soi et retournement en son contraire, avec un processus d’auto-effacement du sujet. Le troisième temps prend corps dans un « effacement partagé » dans le transfert et ouvre à la relation d’objet. Cette perspective vise à déployer les linéaments d’une métapsychologie de l’effacement, selon laquelle l’effacement psychique serait un lieu non-lieu qui permettrait d’envisager « le non encore advenu » (Winnicott) et le rassemblement du sujet.
La recherche conceptuelle en psychanalyse comme occasion de formation. Un cas italien
Authors: Galiani Riccardo , Napolitano Stefania
Published: August 2020

Les auteurs soutiennent la pertinence de la présence de la psychanalyse dans la formation et la recherche universitaires. À partir de considérations à propos du rapport entre psychanalyse et université que l’on retrouve dans la littérature psychanalytique et de quelques exemples d’enseignement académique de la psychanalyse, les auteurs exposent leur approche de la recherche en psychanalyse, le développement d’une méthode de recherche conceptuelle et les résultats d’un travail spécifique. Une telle approche manifeste les potentialités de la recherche conceptuelle en psychanalyse, pas seulement par rapport à la valeur scientifique d’une telle recherche, mais aussi au niveau de la formation de pointe.
La psychopathologie est une « littérature contemporaine »
Authors: Roman Pascal
Published: August 2020

L’auteur propose de considérer la contribution de la littérature à une approche clinique et psychopathologique du fonctionnement psychique, à partir d’une formulation, paraphrasée des Sciences sociales (I. Jablonka) selon laquelle la psychopathologie est une « littérature contemporaine ». Un premier temps est consacré à une réflexion épistémologique sur la pertinence de cette affirmation dans les champs littéraires et psychanalytiques, en appui sur des auteurs reconnus dans le champ de l’approche des processus de création, avant de proposer quelques points de repères pour une approche sensible de la clinique littéraire au service de la transmission d’une démarche clinique et psychopathologique. Un second temps propose la description d’un certain nombre de figures de la clinique littéraire, illustrée par des fragments d’écrits d’auteurs pour la plupart contemporains. In fine, il s’agit de mettre l’accent sur l’ épiphanie ouverte par la rencontre de la clinique littéraire : cette manifestation de la clinique, qui surgit le plus souvent de manière inattendue, appartient de plein droit à une démarche psychanalytique, tant du point de vue de la clinique psychothérapeutique que de la transmission académique.
La fabrique des subjectivités en contexte néolibéral : la fiction de l’individu entrepreneur de lui-même face au sujet de la psychanalyse
Authors: Clément Jérémie
Published: August 2020

Le néolibéralisme se présente à l’heure actuelle comme une pensée totale et un système global, imposant la rationalité marchande et entrepreneuriale dans les moindres domaines de l’existence humaine et prescrivant à l’ensemble du champ social de nouvelles normes de société, de vie et d’existence. Davantage encore, il dispense désormais une nouvelle norme subjective, celle d’un individu immergé dans la culture d’entreprise : l’individu entrepreneur de lui-même. Celui-ci est un homme qui s’épanouit et réussit sa vie car il est autonome, rationnel et performant, et parce qu’il dirige sa vie à la manière dont on dirige une entreprise. Cet article vise à montrer les spécificités propres à la fiction de cet individu entrepreneur de lui-même, puis à en exposer les limites et les impensés, au regard de notre lecture clinique du sujet de la psychanalyse.
Jouer pour vivre : investissement du fictionnel virtuel à l’adolescence
Authors: Houssier Florian
Published: August 2020

Dans cet article, après un détour fictionnel analysant le film de S. Spielberg, « Ready Player One », nous repérons les fonctions psychiques essentielles de l’usage intensif des jeux vidéos dans le travail de subjectivation d’un adolescent ; nous y incluons notamment le rôle de l’identification projective. Nous illustrons cette articulation entre jeu et adolescence avec la situation d’un jeune homme dont le processus maturatif est en suspens, sur fond de surinvestissement des jeux vidéos.
Contes et jeux symboliques
Authors: Chouvier Bernard
Published: August 2020

Un récit fictionnel tel que le conte merveilleux, par sa structure et la trame narrative qu’il met en œuvre, représente une médiation thérapeutique privilégiée pour engager les sujets souffrant de pathologies diverses dans un travail de transformation et dans une élaboration approfondie des conflits internes et des angoisses. Le déroulement cyclique de l’histoire constitue à la fois une quête identitaire et un parcours émotionnel. L’atmosphère particulière qui s’y rencontre est similaire à celle du rêve. La tradition populaire orale dont il est issu atteste de l’efficience symbolique dont il est porteur. La fonction contenante est au cœur du dispositif thérapeutique mis en place et permet d’acquérir la sécurité nécessaire à l’évocation de situations traumatiques présentes dans l’histoire. Ainsi la dynamique ludique propre au conte offre la possibilité d’associer des affects contraires comme le plaisir et la peur. Le conte du genévrier et Vassilissa la très belle sont des contes-type qui montrent de façon claire la puissance symbolique agissant au cœur du récit.
Les métamorphoses de Paul
Authors: Cognet Anna , Masson Céline
Published: August 2020

Cet article retrace le suivi psychothérapeutique d’un jeune garçon porteur d’une malformation faciale qui le défigure et impacte son développement psychoaffectif, comme en témoignent ses interrogations sur son identité sexuelle, son désir double de subir la chirurgie réparatrice souhaitée par son entourage, mais aussi d’être aimé tel qu’il est. Le conte de Blanche-Neige, fil conducteur des séances, va permettre au jeune patient d’exprimer ses fantasmes, ses angoisses et la réélaboration de ses théories sexuelles. En effet, la relation de la psychanalyse avec le conte ou le mythe s’avère fructueuse à double sens : représentative et explicative à la fois, et nous utiliserons le thème des métamorphoses ovidiennes pour éclairer les processus psychiques à l’œuvre.
Prospective des transitions énergétiques
Authors: Criqui Patrick , Waisman Henri
Published: August 2020

Alors que de nombreux pays réfléchissent aux réponses à apporter à la crise économique issue de la pandémie de Covid-19 et que se pose la question de leur articulation avec les stratégies de lutte contre le changement climatique, quel peut être l’apport de la prospective des transitions énergétiques ? Prolongeant la série « Énergie-climat » ouverte dans nos colonnes en mars dernier, Patrick Criqui et Henri Waisman proposent une analyse des différents outils de prospective développés depuis une cinquantaine d’années pour éclairer les décisions en matière de transition énergétique. Après un rappel historique de l’évolution des travaux de modélisation intégrée énergie-économie-environnement, dont l’âge d’or est la période 1992-2014, ils soulignent les limites rencontrées par ce type de prospective, à l’échelle internationale, à compter des accords de Paris qui incitent à réintroduire la dimension « économie politique » dans les scénarios de transition. Depuis, une nouvelle approche consiste à combiner le cadrage de l’approche globale des modèles intégrés, avec les modélisations nationales, afin de concilier les objectifs internationaux de décarbonation avec les priorités socio-économiques et le contexte propres à chaque État. Les auteurs présentent les principes directeurs des exercices de prospective en la matière (qui s’appuient sur l’expérience du Débat national sur la transition énergétique en France) et un exemple de mise en application : celui engagé par le projet Deep Decarbonization Pathways. Enfin, ils mentionnent divers axes stratégiques visant la neutralité carbone — dont un point clef consiste en un changement des modes de vie — et les contraintes inhérentes pour que les mesures en ce sens soient acceptées par la société. Ce panorama de l’évolution de la prospective des transitions énergétiques sera un outil essentiel pour tenir compte des exigences de long terme dans les stratégies de sortie de crise qui s’écrivent actuellement.  S.D.
La géopolitique de l’Union en Méditerranée
Authors: Drevet Jean-François
Published: August 2020

La nouvelle Commission européenne entrée en fonction fin 2019 a rapidement manifesté l’ambition de renforcer le rôle géopolitique de l’Union. Dans le contexte du Brexit, face aux résurgences de rivalité entre les États-Unis et la Russie, et aux ambitions chinoises, faire entendre la voix de l’Europe sera indispensable mais ne sera pas une mince affaire. Parmi les sujets de préoccupation les plus inquiétants et les plus proches de son espace territorial, la région méditerranéenne occupe une place de choix. Jean-François Drevet montre ici quels sont les problèmes prioritaires à prendre en considération dans cette région, distinguant les parties occidentale et orientale (notamment la Turquie et l’Iran), et comment l’Union pourrait s’y atteler. Il plaide pour la mise en place au plus vite d’une stratégie d’action commune et souligne également, en dehors des zones conflictuelles, les pistes de coopération locale qui pourraient être explorées (par exemple dans le secteur énergétique).

Schengen as a Political Territory: Sources of Differentiation in the EU’s ‘Free Movement of Persons’ from 1985
Authors: Blanco Sío-López Cristina
Published: August 2020

Cet article analyse les dimensions historiques de la différenciation dans le cadre des discussions interinstitutionnelles pour établir la libre circulation des personnes dans l’UE. Il souligne le rôle du Parlement européen (PE) dans ce domaine, de la création de l’espace Schengen en 1985 jusqu’à 2015, en passant par des moments décisifs de la fin de la guerre froide et de la construction européenne. Tenant compte de l’importance de la différenciation « verticale » pour cette étude de cas, il aborde également les conséquences diachroniques de la centralisation du pouvoir au sein de différents secteurs d’intervention publique interconnectés.
Ce que l’intégration différenciée fait aux partis politiques : l’exemple du Parti communiste français (1950-1989)
Authors: Azam Nicolas
Published: August 2020

L’intégration européenne modifie les conditions dans lesquelles les partis politiques opèrent et se positionnent. Or, sa prise en charge est complexe car le processus d’intégration se prête à des interprétations contradictoires. Les éléments de différenciation qu’il contient contribuent à complexifier encore davantage les données du problème et la définition d’une ligne politique claire. Au moyen d’une étude socio-historique de la fabrique des positionnements du PCF, cet article montre que ces éléments de différenciation sont davantage pris en compte par les acteurs développant des compétences européennes spécialisées. Mais leur faculté d’infléchir la ligne politique de l’organisation dépend des alliances nouées au sein d’un personnel politique généraliste et de la conjoncture politique nationale.
Which Democracy for which Differentiation?
Authors: Arens Nicolas
Published: August 2020

Cette contribution examine ce qui se cache derrière l’intégration différenciée en termes de démocratie. L’objectif normatif de l’article sera de replacer l’intégration différenciée dans le processus démocratique et de clarifier le rôle, bien qu’ambivalent, de réappropriation politique qu’elle pourrait jouer pour renforcer l’intégration de l’UE. Cet article entend aussi établir des parallèles entre les mécanismes de la démocratie et la manière dont l’intégration différenciée est soumise à une logique similaire. La vision « classique » de la démocratie de Tocqueville est appliquée par une référence croisée aux dimensions historiques, conceptuelles et politiques. Cette vue permet alors de mettre les paradoxes de l’intégration différenciée de l’UE dans la perspective de la domination potentielle de la démocratie.
Family- and Person-Centered Interdisciplinary Telehealth: Policy and Practice Implications Following Onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Brody Abraham A. , Sadarangani Tina , Jones Tessa M. , Convery Kimberly , Groom Lisa , Bristol Alycia A. , David Daniel
Published: August 2020

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth was thrust to the forefront, becoming one of the most predominant forms of care almost overnight. Despite years of research, practice, and policymaking, tenets for providing telehealth in an interdisciplinary, family- and person-centered fashion, and across a wide breadth of settings remain underdeveloped. In addition, although telehealth has the potential to increase equity in care, it can also further exacerbate disparities. The current article discusses the opening created by the pandemic and provides recommendations for how to make permanent changes in telehealth policy and practice to allow for interdisciplinary, person- and family-centered care while also taking care to address issues of equity and ethics and privacy issues related to telehealth and remote monitoring.

Influence of Health Status, Cognitive Function, and Social Capital on Depressive Symptoms in Korean Older Adults
Authors: Yun Hyeon-Seung , Bae Sung-Man
Published: August 2020

The current study explored the influence of health status, cognitive function, and social capital on depressive symptoms in Korean older adults. Data from the National Survey of Older Koreans, conducted by the Korean Institute for Health and Social Affairs in 2017, were used. Social capital was measured by dividing it into structural and cognitive social capital. Final analysis included 6,100 individuals aged ≥65 years (mean age = 72.6,
SD
= 5.8 years; 3,466 males [56.8%], 2,634 females [43.2%]). Multiple hierarchical regression analysis indicated that age, income, economic activity status, religion, household type, self-rated health, apoplexy (e.g., stroke, cerebral infarction), cognitive function, structural social capital, and cognitive social capital were significant predictors of depressive symptoms in older adults. This study suggests that researchers and clinicians should consider the factors associated with self-rated health, cognitive social capital, and economic status (income and economic activity) to prevent or alleviate depressive symptoms in older adults.

An Analysis of the Relationship Between Maintenance Engineering and Knowledge Management
Authors: Cárcel-Carrasco Francisco Javier , Peñalvo-López Elisa , Carnero Maria Carmen , López-Mateu Vicente
Published: August 2020

Knowledge is vital in everyday life, but from the viewpoint of the companies, it is a powerful intangible capital that can check the efficiency and existence of the organizations themselves. However, in industrial production environments, maintenance and exploitation activities are little studied in reference to the mechanisms of transmission of knowledge that are generated based on the difficulty of their capture, because it is fundamentally based on tacit knowledge (intrinsic fond professions operating personnel) acquired by operators for years from their work experiences in the industrial plant. These highly qualified professionals, accustomed to solve technical problems and maintain the required state of production with a high load of stress, traditionally function as islands of knowledge, and the company loses an important asset when one of them leaves. This chapter approaches the transcendence of the tacit knowledge among staff and marks the conditions for transmission as a basis for the learning of other partners of the organization.
Use of Mathematical Models in a Mechanical Metal Industry to Improve Production Planning and Control
Authors: Godoy Leoni Pentiado , Bueno Wagner Pietrobelli , Godoy Tais Pentiado , Gomes Clandia , Rodrigues Maria Carolina Martins , Barbieri da Rosa Luciana Aparecida
Published: August 2020

This chapter aims to propose an improvement in decision making in the planning sector and production control (PPC) with application of a mathematical model. In the methodology, the qualitative approach was used because the linguistic codifications are interpreted and characterized by a case study applying a questionnaire to the managers of the company of the metal mechanic sector. In this context, six constructs were structured as a proposal for performance improvement, being composed of costs, management, inspection, processes, and capacity. The chapter reports the main results achieved during fuzzy sets application, obtaining a better result compared to FAHP in which there were certain oscillations between the percentage of constructs. The construct prioritized by managers and specialists was the cost construct, reaching 38.60%, being advantageous for the industry when the cost is placed in order of manufacture (subconstruct), followed by the prioritized management construct with 28.50%.
The Architect of Organizational Psychology
Authors: Tran Ben
Published: August 2020

Globalization, used in the architect of the organizational psychology world, often evokes images of a shrinking world, in which accelerating flows of information and travel technology compares time and space in the relationships between world cultures, political economies and the built environment. In the world of organizational psychology, the field of organizational psychology is a byproduct of business (organizational behavior and management), psychology [clinical and industrial and organizational psychology (I/O)], and culture. The one common paramount connection between architecture and organizational psychology in the world of globalization is (or the corporate/organization) culture. Hence, the purpose of this chapter is the architect of organizational psychology, with an emphasis on culture. Specifically, Geert Hofstede's dimensions of cultural (corporate and organizational) identity, and how culture influences architecture and business in globalization.

The present research investigates the cognitive and conative profile underlying scientific creativity in psychology. An innovative creativity test including both divergent and convergent thinking was used. Intelligence and personality were also measured. The sample consisted of 121 social science students. Intelligence played a major role for scientific creativity in psychology. With regard to personality, openness and negative agreeableness favored additionally scientific creativity in psychology. In future research, the profile of scientific creativity could be compared with profiles of artistic creativity and everyday creativity.
Psychological (and Emotional) Architecture
Authors: Tran Ben
Published: August 2020

Wilson calls biofilia an “innate tendency to focus on life and lifelike processes” (Wilson, 1984, p. 1), an “innate emotional affiliation of human beings to other living organisms” (Wilson, 1993, p. 31), or an “inborn affinity human beings have for other forms of life, an affiliation evoked, according to circumstances, by pleasure, or a sense of security, or awe, or even fascination blended with revulsion” (Wilson, 1994, p. 360). The research in this area is indicating that bringing elements of nature into the workplace, whether real or artificial, is beneficial in terms of employee outcomes. Nevertheless, although investigation into the benefits of biophilia for individual well-being is relatively new, there is clearly mounting evidence that biophilic design can have a positive impact, from reducing stress and anxiety, to improving the quality and availability of respite from work and in increasing levels of self-reported well-being.
What Cognitive Psychology Can Tell Us About Educational Computer Games
Authors: Gardner Michael K. , Strayer David L.
Published: August 2020

Developers of educational computer games often have incomplete knowledge of the cognitive abilities of learners, yet this knowledge can be useful in informing game design. This chapter reviews two important cognitive abilities that underlie learning: working memory and attentional capacity/executive function. From a description of the developmental course of each ability, we derive a set of recommendations for game developers to follow when designing games for learners of different ages. The chapter next reviews the psychology of transfer of training, including two major theories on the issue. The doctrine of identical elements appears to give the better description of how transfer occurs from training environment (the educational computer game) to target environment (real world performance of the learned skill). It is recommended that games embody, as closely as possible, the end behavior they hope to produce, as this will produce maximal transfer. Finally, we review some controversial research demonstrating distant transfer in computer video gaming.
Social Context

Published: August 2020

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) and Evidence-based practice (EBP) are sets of standards and procedures created to search, verify, and select up-to-date findings implemented by medical staff as a basis for decision-making process in a daily clinical practice. Despite efforts of scientists and clinicians, neurorehabiltiation is regarded as a difficult area for EBM/EBP practices due to huge diversity of cases, clinical pictures, interventions, and scientific methodologies. More advanced tasks, including application of brain-computer interfaces and neuroprosteheses, show the need for a new approach from medical practitioners. This chapter presents challenges, barriers, and solutions in the aforementioned area based on the personal experiences of the authors. Visualisation tools provide cognitive support for social context, cooperation patterns, and data interpretation. Taking into consideration that social issues may extend the visibility of the results and allow for easier dissemination of the results, the aim was to show how visualisation helps identify cooperation networks and disseminate research results.
Cognitive Remediation Therapy in Chronic Schizophrenia
Authors: Halder Susmita , Mahato Akash
Published: August 2020

Cognitive impairments are now recognized as one of the most ubiquitous features of schizophrenia. Cognitive deficits appear to play a large role in how patients with schizophrenia function in their everyday lives. The role of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia may be gauged by the fact that even when patients with schizophrenia are relatively free of psychotic symptoms, many still have extraordinary difficulty with communication, motivation, self-care, and establishing and maintaining relationships with others. Patients with schizophrenia are often additionally treated with supportive psychotherapy, behavioral management, or social skills training as required. However, the efficacy of these adjunct therapies could be limited in presence of marked cognitive deficits. Thus it becomes crucial to have specific intervention for the underlying cognitive deficits that appear detrimental to improvement of functioning of patients with schizophrenia. The present chapter focuses on cognitive training based intervention program for schizophrenia patients and its efficacy.

An Exploration of Mental Skills Among Competitive League of Legend Players
Authors: Himmelstein Daniel , Liu Yitong , Shapiro Jamie L.
Published: August 2020

ESports, also known as competitive video gaming, has seen tremendous growth over the past few years. Several studies have been conducted that examined the potential cognitive benefits of playing video games, but few have examined the psychosocial factors needed to perform at the highest level of competitive video gaming. In this study, the researchers aimed to identify specific mental obstacles players face and any mental techniques gamers already utilize by conducting a qualitative content analysis. Interviews with five high-level competitive League of Legend players were conducted to shed light on their experiences. The interviews resulted in two high order themes. Those high order themes were the following: techniques used to achieve optimal performance and obstacles encountered by competitive gamers. The data collected can be used by a wide population in both the performance psychology field and the eSports realm, more specifically, future mental skills consultants working with League of Legends players, gamers themselves, and academics who wish to serve, improve, or study those involved in an emerging performance domain.
Addressing the Impact of Trauma in High Poverty Elementary Schools
Authors: Brown La Vera , Dari Tahani , Spencer Natalie
Published: August 2020

A positioned-subject qualitative approach was used to uncover multiple perspectives held by elementary school counselors as to how they interpret their work with children affected by trauma in high-poverty schools. As such, school counselors' knowledge of the impact of ecological factors that led to childhood trauma was examined. Findings indicated that complex and systemic trauma were common themes that informed the schools counselors' ability to advocate effectively for mental health programs for children in high poverty schools. This qualitative study also introduces an ecological and social justice (ESJ) school-counseling model for school counseling in high poverty elementary schools that demonstrates how social justice-oriented school counselors seek to meet the needs of their students with mental illness who come from high poverty backgrounds.
Gratitude and Happiness in Adolescents
Authors: Gottlieb Rachel , Froh Jeffrey
Published: August 2020

Gratitude is important for social and emotional health. Research suggests that there is a relation between experiencing and expressing gratitude and happiness. The aim of this chapter is to review current research regarding gratitude development and happiness, adolescent gratitude development, and to discuss future recommendations. This chapter also discusses a study examining adolescent perspectives on the meaning of being thankful. To obtain adolescent perspectives on the meaning of being thankful, adolescents (N = 1,098) wrote essays describing what being thankful meant to them. Thematic analysis was used to identify and analyze themes within the essays. Percentiles were calculated for the most recurrent themes across essays (Appreciation = 54.07%, Family = 31.42%, Positive Emotions = 28.81%, Assistance/Support from Others = 25.99%, Friendship = 21.18%, and Downward Comparison = 16.60%). Understanding gratitude development in adolescents can aid in creating effective interventions, potentially increasing adolescent well-being and happiness.
Cultivating Practitioners for Software Engineering Experiments in industry
Authors: López Guillermo , García-Borgoñón Laura , Vega Sira , Escalona Maria J. , Juristo Natalia
Published: August 2020

Controlled experiments are commonly used to evaluate software methods, processes, and tools. Literature presents that the validation of software engineering research results in industrial settings is a powerful way to obtain feedback about its value. However, to implicate industry and practitioners in experiments is not an easy task, and, even when a company is committed, frequently the number of practitioners involved is not enough to execute and validate the experiment. This chapter presents a guide of best practices that can be used in order to get a high number of participants that can validate research results from the industry. These practices are oriented to create an attractive environment for companies to conclude that the participation in a research experiment can be interesting for them. In order to illustrate them, the chapter also introduces the authors' experiences when running an experiment about early testing at the University of Seville, where they followed these guidelines to successfully enhance the participation of 76 practitioners from 32 different software companies.

Published: August 2020

One of the most crucial objectives of enterprises is bridging the gap between its businesses and information systems. In this vein, many approaches have emerged among them: the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). This approach is an initiative of the Object Management Group (OMG) and considers the model as the central entity in the software systems development process offering many techniques allowing transformation between models. In addition, the OMG introduces for the MDA three abstraction levels, namely Computation Independent Model (CIM), Platform Independent Model (PIM), and Platform-Specific Model (PSM). This contribution proposes a disciplined method that ensures an automatic alignment between businesses and information system models at CIM and PIM levels. The source model consists of E3value model, which is the Business Value model, whereas, the generated model represents UML2 Communication diagrams, that are the UML's behavior and interaction models. The transformation is achieved automatically using meta-models and ATLAS Transformation Language and proved to be effective.
Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education

Published: August 2020

Education is significant in our lives. Learning is the main feature that is connected to education. Education increases the power of visualization and differentiation between right and the wrong. The future of education is directly related to innovative tools and computing abilities of the intelligent machines, opening to new potentials and tasks for teaching and learning in education with the prospective to primarily changing the governance and the inner architecture of institutions of higher education. Education in these days has become very expensive for the poor guardians (with meager income) of the capable students to get admission in the reputed institutes of their choice. Education indeed helps to know the real values in relation to social and cultural behavior so that one can become a decent person in nature in society. It also shows the limitations and risks in the life of a modern student. This chapter explores using artificial intelligence in higher education.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used mainly on education in some methods that contribute to the development of competencies and test systems. With the continued development of educational AI solutions, it is hoped that AI will help address the need for learning, education, and teaching. AI can enhance performance, personalization, and streamline administrative tasks in order to give teachers time and freedom to learn and adapt—uniquely human skills that would battle on machines. The AI dream of education is one where the best results for students are obtained, based on the best qualities of machinery and teachers. The development of curriculum based on the specific needs of individual students has been a concern for educators for many years, but the AI presents teachers with an unprecedented degree of distinction to handle 30 students in each class. With AI many possibilities can be seen in the teaching and learning system considering interest and understanding of an individual, which will increase efficiency of the education system.

Authors: Tomar Pradeep , Verma Shivani
Published: August 2020

The future of higher education is intrinsically linked with developments on new technologies and computing capacities of the new intelligent machines. In this field, advances in artificial intelligence open to new possibilities and challenges for teaching and learning in higher education with the potential to fundamentally change governance and the internal architecture of institutions of higher education. The role of technology in higher learning is to enhance human thinking and to augment the educational process, not to reduce it to a set of procedures for content delivery, control, and assessment. With the rise of AI solutions, it is increasingly important for educational institutions to stay alert and see if the power of control over hidden algorithms that run them is not monopolized by tech-lords. This chapter will cover all the positive and negative aspects of AI technologies on teaching, learning, and research in higher education.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of e-CRM tactics on customer loyalty in B2C markets. In addition, this study attempts to explore the mediating roles of customer service quality and perceived value in the e-CRM – customer loyalty relationship. Moreover, the current research explores the relative importance of individual e-marketing tactics (personalization, reward program, online community, and customer service quality) is a customer loyalty model. A conceptual model is empirically tested in the context of the bank industry, using a sample of 203 bank users. The results indicate that e-CRM has a positive indirect effect on customer loyalty via customer service quality. The findings suggest that online services, personalization, and ease of website navigation are the most important factors in influencing customer loyalty. The present study enhances our understanding of the importance of individual e-CRM tactics in influencing customer loyalty and thereby provides valuable insights for marketing managers in service sectors, particularly the banking sector.

Authors: Wahab Siti Norida , Ab Talib Mohamed Syazwan
Published: August 2020

In the pursuit of sustainable industrial development, this conceptual piece aims to propose a conceptual model that explains the motivation behind warehouse automated material handling equipment (AWMHE) adoption in Malaysia. Through an extensive review of extant literature and contextual synthesis, and the application of TOE framework as the underpinning concept, an AWMHE conceptual model was developed. Five motives behind AWMHE adoption were identified namely perceived trustworthiness, perceived benefits, perceived cost, external pressure, and management support. This conceptual chapter could serve as a platform for future research, particularly in the warehouse management discipline. Likewise, this model could potentially provide valuable insights to warehouse providers in Malaysia on the need to adopt AWMHE operation. Currently, there are limited studies on the adoption of AWMHE in Malaysia using the TOE framework. Therefore, the current study could contribute to the existing warehouse AWMHE body of knowledge and serves as valuable information to both scholars and practitioners.

New Institutional Economics and Economic Development
Authors: Manioudis Manolis , Meramveliotakis Giorgos
Published: August 2020

In recent years, the concept of “institutions” has become central in scientific and political discourse. This reflects an increasing awareness of the role of institutions in the functioning of economies and in economic development more generally. Many of the catchphrases articulated within new institutional economics such as “institutions,” “organisations,” “transaction costs,” “property rights,” and “contracts” have become very common in orthodox economics discourse. This development is intellectually stimulating and interesting because it raises some fundamental issues with regard to the role and functioning of institutions. These concepts are seated on Smith's idea of the “harmony of interests.” However, Smith sees power as dominant in the formation of institutional framework. This chapter aims to provide a Smithian critique based on the notion of power, arguing that the formation of institutions and institutional framework cannot be considered apart from the intrinsic power relations which are vested in society.
Institutions and Economic Policy
Authors: Ramazzotti Paolo
Published: August 2020

This chapter discusses the problems associated to an inadequate theory of economic policy. It begins by presenting the mainstream and heterodox approaches to policy. It contends that, according to the mainstream, policy must guarantee efficiency or, at the very least, consider it a key constraint, whereas according to heterodox economists, it may have a broader variety of goals. The latter's open system perspective implies that changes in the structure of the economy eventually feedback both on how people conceive of the economy and social welfare and on how the economy itself functions. The relevance of this issue, which is understated, emerges from the subsequent discussion of how neoliberal policies have changed the structure of the economy, the way people conceive of the economy, and even their voting behavior.
