The discovery of the involvement of neuropeptides with behaviours other than regulatory motivated ones took place in the midst of 1960’s with David de Wied’s first report on the influence of pituitary peptides on memory. This major scientific breakthrough opened a new frontier of studies in Endocrinology and its related fields, Neuroendocrinology and Psychoneuroendocrinology. Neuropeptides were initially thought to be involved in homeostatic regulation and secreted only from neurons located in the hypothalamus; they are now recognized neurotransmitters, produced in and secreted from distinct brain areas, associated with a myriad of, not only, motivated, but also psychopathological behaviours. Motivated behaviours are determinant for individual and species survival, but their expression in a large spectrum and deviations from average may give rise to a number of psychiatric conditions.

Healthcare consumerism is emerging, the competition between hospitals is growing, patient expectations are increasing, the service delivered in hospitals must be of a very high level to appeal people and the physical environment plays a role. Within hospitals, this would mean hospitals need to focus on what patients really need and want to meet and even exceed their expectations, called a patient-centered strategy. The main purpose of this work is to discover the impact of healthscape in relation to patient intimacy within the hospital context. In a second time, it is to improve healthscape of our future hospital. To address these issues, we need to discover what antecedents patients have with healthscape and what could be their ideal healthcare servicescape. We also need to understand what is their vision of intimacy, what we call customer perceived intimacy. Moreover, we try to capture patient attitudes and behaviours resulting from their relation to the physical environment.

In recent years, the consumer’s behaviours have changed dramatically. Indeed, since the advent of the digital age with the development of social networks and web 2.0, the consumer is a real chameleon. He is unpredictable, with a constant demand for personalized services and interaction with companies. Thanks to this digitisation, the consumer has a large amount of information at his disposal. He can interact, give his opinion (whether positive or negative) via digital communication channels such as social networks. As part of the last year of my Master's degree in Digital Marketing & Sales Management at HEC Uliège, I have the opportunity to do a professional internship at Belourthe, a company specialising in the cereals and frozen foods sector. The company is facing a challenge regarding its Oufti brand (frozen fruits coated with chocolate). Indeed, in this digital context, Oufti must be able to establish the appropriate digital strategy for its consumers, its market, etc. This thesis is therefore entitled "What digital strategy should be implemented to ensure Oufti's success?" In this paper, you will first discover an analysis of the company and the brand in general (sales analysis, benchmark, etc.). In the second part of this research, the results of a qualitative survey of 5 professionals from the cinema/retail sector will be presented as well as a quantitative survey of 222 consumers of Oufti products. The goal is really to discover the profile and habits of the Oufti consumer in terms of digital communication. Finally, these results will be translated into recommendations via a customer journey. Through this research and literature, this thesis proposes managerial solutions to Belourthe in order to start building an appropriate digital strategy for Oufti.

Selon Schützwohl et al. (2016), les comportements problématiques sont des comportements socialement inadéquats qui causent une détresse, de la violence et un repli sur soi de la personne qui les émet et qui ont aussi un impact sur l’entourage. Ces comportements ont des conséquences dommageables puisqu’ils mettent la personne à l’écart des autres voir même de la société (Emerson 1995 ; Emerson, 2015). Les personnes en situation de handicap constituent un public vulnérable vis-à-vis de l’expression de comportements problématiques. En effet, il existe des facteurs de risque qui augmentent les risques d’en présenter (Schützwohl et al. 2016). La présente étude a pour objectif d’identifier, de comprendre et de diminuer les troubles du comportement de deux personnes vieillissantes en situation de handicap et vivant au sein d’un service résidentiel et ce, à l’aide de l’évaluation fonctionnelle. Pour cela, des observations sont réalisées et des interventions sont mises en place au niveau de l’environnement physique et social des personnes qui émettent les comportements problématiques. En effet, selon l’approche de l’évaluation fonctionnelle, les comportements problématiques sont causés et renforcés par des facteurs contextuels (environnement et social). Il est donc important de comprendre ces facteurs qui causent et maintiennent les comportements problématiques pour pouvoir réaliser une intervention adéquate (O’Neill et al. 2008).

Introduction : Ces dernières années, les recherches au sujet de la littératie en santé se sont multipliées. L’association entre un haut niveau de littératie en santé et des résultats de santé positifs (meilleure gestion des maladies chroniques, comportements de santé sains, moins d’hospitalisation, etc.) commence à être bien connue chez les adultes. Néanmoins, peu d’études ont été réalisées à ce sujet chez les enfants. Cette recherche a pour principal objectif d’analyser l’association entre la littératie en santé et les comportements de santé des jeunes. Méthodologie : Il s’agit d’une étude observationnelle transversale quantitative basée sur un raisonnement déductif. L’échantillon est constitué de 328 jeunes adolescents (6ème année primaire) scolarisés au sein des écoles Libres sous la tutelle du centre de promotion de la santé à l’école Xavier Francotte (PSE XFR) en province de Liège. Les connaissances et compétences en matière de santé ont été déterminées au moyen du « KidsHealth KidsPoll of Health Literacy ». « The Lifestyle Questionnaire for School-aged Children » a été utilisé comme outil d’évaluation des comportements de santé et de la santé mentale. Les facteurs pouvant influencer la littératie en santé ont également été analysés. Résultats : Cette étude montre que 50.6 % des jeunes adolescents ont un niveau suffisant de littératie en santé, 27.7 % ont un score de littératie en santé limité et 21.7 % ont un niveau insuffisant. Il existe une association positive et significative entre la litttératie en santé et les comportements de santé des jeunes (comportements de promotion de la santé et comportements de prévention des blessures). Le statut professionnel de la mère (active professionnellement) et l’indice socio-économique de l’école (école plus favorisée) sont positivement corrélés à la littératie en santé chez les participants à l’étude. Conclusion : Le manque de connaissances et compétences en matière de santé touche un nombre important de jeunes adolescents. Détecter les personnes avec un faible niveau de littératie en santé et mettre en place des interventions individuelles et collectives sont d’une importance cruciale pour les jeunes en termes de promotion de la santé et de prévention. Il s’agit d’un défi majeur de santé publique. Background : In recent years, research on health literacy have proliferated. The relationship between a high level of health literacy and positive health outcomes (better chronic disease management, healthy health behaviours, less hospitalization, etc.) is becoming well known among adults. Nevertheless, few studies among children have been conducted on this subject. The main objective of this research is to analyse the link between health literacy and youth health behaviours. Method : This is a quantitative cross-sectional observational study based on deductive reasoning. The sample is made up of 328 young adolescents (6th year of primary school) studying in independent schools under the tutelage of the Xavier Francotte (PSE XFR) health promotion centre in the province of Liège. Health knowledge and skills were identified through « the KidsHealth KidsPoll of Health Literacy ». « The Lifestyle Questionnaire for School-aged Children » has been used as a tool for assessing health behaviours and mental health. Factors that may influence health literacy have also been analysed. Results : This study shows that 50.6% of young adolescents have a sufficient level of health literacy, 27.7% a low health literacy score and 21.7% an insufficient one. There is a positive and significant link between health literacy and health behaviours of young people (health promotion behaviours and injury prevention behaviours). The occupational status of the mother (working woman) and the socio-economic index of the school (more advantaged schools) are positively correlated with health literacy among the study participants. Conclusion : Lack of health knowledge and skills affect a significant number of young adolescents. Detecting people with low health literacy and implementing individual and collective measures are critically important for youth in terms of health promotion and prevention. This is a major public health challenge.

The book discusses the health condition of Polish current and future health professionals. The study was conducted on around 800 medical staff members (in-training and professional). The author analyses nutrition behaviour, physical activity, smoking, drinking alcohol and their psycho-social determinants (health self-assessment, value of health, health locus of control, health related self-efficacy). The educational and behavioural needs of the investigated group depend on career stage and profession. As a result, there is a need for health promotional programs targeting carefully chosen medical staff groups, with an emphasis on their special health needs. The expectation that physicians or other medical professionals will heal themselves proves to be futile in this part of Europe. This should be a starting point in a discussion about the role of health providers in modelling health behaviours and health promotion counselling for their patients. Reflection is needed especially among health related professionals in different institutions (e.g., universities, schools, hospitals), health societies and non-profit organisations involved in health promotion, insurance and health companies.

Drawing on a rich array of source materials including previously unseen, fascinating (and often quite moving) oral histories, archival and news media sources, 'Curing queers' examines the plight of men who were institutionalised in British mental hospitals to receive 'treatment' for homosexuality and transvestism, and the perceptions and actions of the men and women who nursed them. The book begins in 1935 with the first official report on the use of aversion therapy to combat homosexual desire and continues until 1974, when the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its d

Despite the significant decrease in bullying that has been reported in many countries during the last two decades, bullying continues to be a significant problem among young people. Given the increase of internet use among youth, researchers have started to pay attention to cyberspace, understanding that it may be a fertile ground for bullying behaviors, specifically, what is known as cyberbullying. “Family, Bullying and Cyberbullying” examines the association of several family variables with bullying in offline and online environments during childhood and adolescence. Contributors from the Americas, Canada, Asia, and Europe offer cutting-edge research on family dynamics, bystander behaviors, parents’ and educators’ perceptions, and bullying and cyberbullying prevention and intervention strategies of bullying for school and home. This book also provides an analysis of the current research on the influence of family in the electronic bullying. Research topics included in the book: 1) Parental education and bullying and cyberbullying; 2) Parental monitoring and cyberbullying; 3) Parental communication and feelings of affiliation; 4) Student and educator perspective on cyberbullying; 5) Parents’ responses to bullying; 6) Parental mediation and bystander behaviors; 7) Development of scales to measure cyberbullying and high internet risks. “Family, Bullying and Cyberbullying” is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, families, and practitioners in social education, social work, teacher education, and psychology.
