Shortly after the introduction of the Nutri-Score in France, which evaluates the nutritional quality of food products, the industrial group Intermarché launched the "Franco-Score" to allow consumers to access the proportion of French ingredients contained in food products by displaying it on the packagings. The aim of this article is to examine this particular form of score through the prism of market mediation. Using a cross methodology combining discursive and semiological dimensions, the aim is to understand in what way the implementation of this device proceeds from a strategic objectivation of the organization of value and from a market euphemization which informs us about the market relationship instituted between the brand and the consumer.

This analysis explores the rationale of the sanctions imposed on Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine launched in February 2022. Sanctions research identifies three distinct logics: a classical logic that aims to destabilise a government by harming its economy as a whole and encouraging mass mobilisation; a more selective logic aimed at encouraging the elites to withdraw their support for the rulers, while a third logic conceives of sanctions as tools aimed at domestic audiences and third countries. The analysis concludes that all these logics operate simultaneously in the case of ongoing sanctions regime against Russia. This departs from previous practice which claimed to be “targeted”, introducing a turning point in the European Union's sanctions policy.

This study analyzes qualitatively nine interactional coping solutions (ICS) in the post-adoption stage of information technology implementation at a French legal firm to understand the impact of these solutions on managing technostress. We captured the impact of interactional coping solutions (ICS) and noticed certain limitations within the firm that can impact the performance of interactional coping solutions (ICS) in managing technostress. These limitations include a lack of creative interaction between colleagues at the group level and of organizational commitment to the digitalization process.

This paper presents the methodological approach of an intervention research that develops an open strategy process in a healthcare organization. The research describes all the tools mobilized to improve inclusion and transparency in strategic thinking in the specific context of an occupational health service. This longitudinal analysis highlights the benefits of an open strategy approach, particularly at the managerial and cultural levels. The results observed effectively show an evolution of management towards more multidisciplinary, in an organizational context yet marked by divisions.

Guinea has a low COVID-19 vaccination coverage (28% as of 22 February 2023). Instead of seeing this low vaccination rate as a failure, we suggest discussing this as a local response to the global health agenda. This study is built on the ethnography of Guinea's vaccination implementation and was conducted by the authors from March 2020 to October 2020 in the capital and the country's interior. Healthcare stakeholders and individuals, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, were surveyed, and the political context under which the campaign was rolled out was analyzed. Far from being a homogeneous commentary by global healthcare stakeholders, we describe how the vaccination policy is dependent on multilateral and bilateral relations that shape its vaccination availability. Procuring input, the health situation and political tension associated with COVID-19 call into question the legitimacy of preventive measures, specifically vaccination. On the other hand, promised actions in the global health arena to respond to the COVID-19 epidemic (lockdown, vaccination) disregarded the political and biological conditions encountered by the virus in Guinea. By mobilizing the concept of situated biology (lock), the relevance of a universal agenda for global health must be discussed.

Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. It represents a stake in the world economy and a tool in achieving the sustainable development goals. At the same time, alternative tourism is a practice that is gaining more importance in developing countries. It has been studied in islands and seaside regions, mountains, forests, and parks. However, very little research focused on the practice of alternative tourism in desert areas. It is thus not only difficult to assess its potential market, but also its main contributions to local communities. This article aims to better understand how the practices of national tourists contribute to the development of the communities of Djanet and Taghit. To address this issue, a documentary and empirical analysis was carried out in both cities.
