Modélisation de l’éco-accompagnement en temps de crise by Patricia Rached

“…Based on the various paradigmatic perspectives, this study examines accompaniment in a context that integrates the praxeological aim linked to experience and that of heuristics related to scientific knowledge. Subsequently, the synergy between the relevant theories and practices on accompaniment is deployed via social practices following participatory approaches implemented in the Lebanese context that has been enduring a series of severe crises. …”

La « théorie des nouvelles professions », une ressource heuristique pour penser la professionnalisation by Emmanuel de Lescure

“…Centering on the case of the adults trainers, this article wants to show that, even if its echo is much lesser than that of the other works (in particular on school), one of the theoretical elements developed by Bourdieu constitutes even today a heuristics source to think the dynamics of the professional groups and the processes of professionalization. …”

Writing Out of Place: Wordsworth and Woolf in London by Laurent Folliot, Juliana Lopoukhine

“…Although Wordsworth’s country rambles have often been associated with the kind of patriarchal culture epitomised by Woolf’s father Leslie Stephen (who even penned an essay entitled “In Praise of Walking”), the London perambulations recounted in Book VII of The Prelude present suggestive analogies, as well as contrasts, with Woolf’s Modernist city heuristics. Both were, in a sense, outsiders to the metropolitan space they negotiated in writing, and both were keenly aware of living through a moment of historical crisis and opportunity. …”

Segmentation of current and potential investors in retirement plans to retain and capture customers by Ronaldo Andrade Deccax, Carlos Heitor Campani

“…It innovates by incorporating variables from Psychology and Behavioral Finance, especially the “rationality” variable which has a remarkable ability to synthesize vulnerabilities to a wide universe of heuristics and biases when applied to investors. In addition, significant behavioral barriers were identified for the expansion of the retirement market, such as a low level of maturity of current market practices in Brazil and the need to use Behavioral Finance instruments in this confrontation.…”
