Creating a sustainable digital infrastructure: The role of service-oriented architecture
2021
Abstract The United Nations’ goal of generating sustainable industry, innovation, and infrastructure is the point of departure for our reflective paper. The paper elaborates on the concepts of digital infrastructure, service-oriented architecture, and microservices. It emphasizes the benefits and challenges of creating a sustainable infrastructure based on a service-oriented environment, in which cloud services constitute an important part. We outline the prerequisites for obtaining a sustainable digital infrastructure based on services. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and recently, microservice architecture, and cloud services, can provide organizations with the improved agility and fl…
Small radius electron and hole polarons in PbX2 (X = F, Cl, Br) crystals: a computational study
2021
First-principles hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed for small radius polarons – self-trapped electrons (STELs) and holes (STHs) in PbX2 (X = F, Cl, Br) crystals, widely used as parent materials for inorganic halide perovskites (CsPbX3) and scintillators. The atomic and electronic structures, spin and charge distributions and formation energies for both types of polarons were predicted for orthorhombic PbF2 and STELs for cubic PbF2. The STH structure was identified in a controversial case of PbCl2. We also confirmed and analyzed in detail experimentally suggested configurations for other cases. It is shown how, due to a delicate balance of ionic and covalent c…
Social Entrepreneurship as a Form of Institutional Entrepreneurship
2021
Bureaucracy as a form of structuring and working of current organizations may be seen as the result of a set of circumstances. For Weberians, bureaucracy is the consequence of the principles of protestant values applied to the market. For institutionalists, bureaucracy is the outcome of the replication of practices in organizations, that is, bureaucracy is due to isomorphism among organizations. Following the institutional approach, organizations act by imitation. This imitation provides a certain way to compete and work necessary to survival, meaning that this imitation gives stability and equilibrium to the context in which organizations operate. Nevertheless, this equilibrium may not be …
Lagrange-Formulierung der Mechanik
2021
In diesem Kapitel und dem nachsten zeigen wir, dass die Newton’sche Mechanik und die Spezielle Relativitatstheorie, die wir in den Kapiteln [2-4] bzw. [5] kennengelernt haben, kompakter, eleganter und effizienter formuliert werden konnen. Diese kompakte Umformulierung wird als die Analytische Mechanik bezeichnet. Sie existiert in zwei Varianten, die beide ihre spezifischen Vorteile haben, namlich in der Formulierung von Lagrange, die in diesem Kapitel behandelt wird, und in der Formulierung von Hamilton, der das nachste Kapitel gewidmet ist.
The Evolution and Trends of Eurosceptic Success
2021
The evolution of Euroscepticism in the countries of Western Europe has not had a linear character—parties of various ideologies and political colour have taken up the mantle of Euroscepticism over the years, while their success has risen and waned. While the aim here is to provide nomothetic, ceteris paribus results that provide an overview of Eurosceptic Contagion at the level Western Europe as a whole (and makes the argument that the shift in policy positions is an EU15 wide phenomenon), it is important to see how the fate of Eurosceptic Parties has risen and declined at various times in individual, discrete countries. A simple glance at this more descriptive data reveals various interest…

L'Occidente nella concezione geografica di Diodoro Siculo
2021
In his first five Books of Historical Library Diodorus pays a particular attention to the lands of Atlantic Far West. Even if the historian does not show to be particularly interested in geographical descriptions and cartography, nevertheless he often portrays the background of mythical stories happening in western areas according to patterns which, in a sort of symmetrical correspondence, are similar to the historian’s representation of events involving the geographical areas of the Asian Far East. Diodorus has a “continuistic” view of the development of civilisation in all parts of the world known until then. The geography of the mythical past is fully consistent with that of Diodorus’ ow…

Environmental Sustainability Orientation, Reward-Based Crowdfunding, and Venture Capital: The Mediating Role of Crowdfunding Performance for New Tech…
2021
Extant literature has investigated the effects of new ventures’ environmental sustainability orientation (ESO) on the crowdfunding (CF) performance and on the ability to secure venture capital, separately and with mixed results. In this article, we address the study of these relationships simultaneously. Specifically, we examine how the presence of ESO features influences new technology-based ventures’ ability to secure funding in reward-based CF campaigns and how the CF performance mediates the effect of such features on attracting subsequent venture capital. Using a sample of new hardware ventures that have launched a CF campaign on Kickstarter, we document a negative effect of the presen…

Carreras por montaña en la Comunitat Valenciana (1995-2019). Evolución, distribución territorial e incidencia en áreas naturales protegidas
2021
El rápido crecimiento de las carreras por montaña, ha motivado durante los últimos años su estudio. Aun son pocas las referencias bibliográficas que podemos encontrar a escala local, aunque algunas a nivel de España. Existen diferencias regionales, que demandan la necesidad de examinar este tipo de pruebas a una escala detallada. La Comunitat Valenciana, dada su extensión forestal y porcentaje de territorio montañoso (56 %), el número de espacios naturales (646) y superficie total protegida (40 %), se convierte en un buen ámbito de estudio. Una revisión bibliográfica y un análisis de la información recogida ha permitido determinar el número y la evolución de esta práctica en los últimos 25 …

Mid-term and late results of endovascular treatment for symptomatic carotid artery stenosis under proximal protection
2021
Introduction: Although filters are still preferred during carotid stenting, proximal protection systems (PPS) are increasingly used during these procedures. PPS seem to be safer than distal systems, especially in symptomatic patients, but evidence supporting their use is limited. Aim: This was a post hoc survey with 30-day mid-term and long-term follow up, which was aimed at assessment of the safety and efficacy of stenting of the internal carotid artery under PPS in symptomatic patients. Material and methods: We analysed the results of stenting in 120 symptomatic patients presenting with at least 60% stenosis. Patients were aged 67.9 ±9.8 years, and 12 patients were older than 80 years. An…
A person-environment-fit-model for temporary organizations - Antecedents for temporary working settings
2021
Abstract Projectification has led to the widespread use of temporary organizations (TOs) in many industries, but the various factors that determine successful work by employees in TOs are unexplored. We argue that organizations have different degrees of temporariness depending on the following five TO dimensions: temporal duration, nature of the task, team composition, hierarchy, and coordination. Considering the TO dimensions and varying degrees of temporariness, we propose a person-environment (P-E) fit model. The model comprises three levels – organizational-, group-, and job-oriented – and relates personal attributes to the TO dimensions. We contribute to theory by developing a set of p…
Perception of Finns Towards Refugees and Immigrants
2021
This chapter explores the perception Finns have towards refugees. In particular, building off intergroup threat theory (ITT), this chapter describes the extent to which Finns perceive refugees as a threat to Finnish society. Researchers have proposed Finns might perceive immigrants (and refugees) as threats because they share less cultural and physical similarities with the “Typical” Finns. As fear of this threat increases, so can the chance of intergroup conflict between these two groups. Through an analysis of in-depth interviews, this chapter brings to light these perceived threats to understand the refugee situation in Finland, as perceived by Finns.

Historicising Cultural Sport Psychology : Dare we De-centre Methodological Eurocentrism?
2021
In this essay we critically reflect on our respective journeys to and within cultural sport psychology (CSP). Since the inception, CSP scholars have advocated for opening the privileged academic space for marginalised voices and omitted subject themes; as well as cautioned researchers that the CSP project itself needs to be constantly revisited and reworked to keep it in progressive flux. We argue that, despite some notable advances, CSP remains a predominantly white Anglo-American intellec-tual space and that previous calls to engage with issues of power and privilege in the prevailing knowledge production have been largely unanswered. The lack of diverse voices within the CSP community ma…
New β-decaying state in 214Bi
2021
A new β-decaying state in 214Bi has been identified at the ISOLDE Decay Station at the CERN-ISOLDE facility. A preferred Iπ = (8−) assignment was suggested for this state based on the β-decay feeding pattern to levels in 214Po and shell-model calculations. The half-life of the Iπ = (8−) state was deduced to be T1/2 = 9.39(10) min. The deexcitation of the levels populated in 214Po by the β decay of this state was investigated via γ -γ coincidences and a number of new levels and transitions was identified. Shell-model calculations for excited states in 214Bi and 214Po were performed using two different effective interactions: the H208 and the modified Kuo-Herling particle interaction. Both ca…

Dovere di soccorso in mare, diritto internazionale e cause di esclusione dell’illiceità penale
2021
Due vicende giudiziarie (i casi Vos Thalassa e Rackete), entrambe oggetto di notevole attenzione mediatica, oltre che di diversi commenti da parte della dottrina penalistica, consentono di ragionare sui rapporti che intercorrono tra diritto internazionale e diritto interno nel regime giuridico del dovere di soccorso in mare. Più precisamente, la lettura di tali vicende permette di fare alcune osservazioni sul rilievo che devono avere le norme internazionali quando il giudice penale nazionale sia chiamato a pronunciarsi in merito all’applicabilità delle scriminanti a beneficio di soggetti che si oppongono a ordini dell’autorità che impediscono il completamento delle attività di soccorso

Green Homeowners? An Empirical Application of Fischel’s Homevoter Hypothesis
2021
It is a no-brainer that owners of private property usually care about their personal possessions. But does this also apply to public goods? Fischel’s homevoter hypothesis argues that property owners—in this case homeowners—will exhibit more than average concern with regard to public goods, particularly local public goods in their own neighborhood such as the local crime rate, nearby schools, and environmental quality. This contribution applies Fischel’s hypothesis to the public good of residential environmental conditions. Based on survey and administrative data collected in two cities, Mainz in Germany and Zurich in Switzerland, it examines whether house and apartment owners, as compared t…

Morphological and Postural changes in the foot during pregnancy and puerperium : a longitudinal study
2021
The aim of this study is to observe the morphological and postural changes to the foot that take place during pregnancy and the puerperium. Method: In this descriptive, observational, longitudinal study, we analysed 23 pregnant women, with particular attention to morphological and postural aspects of the foot, at three time points during and after pregnancy: in weeks 9-13 of gestation, weeks 32-35 of gestation and weeks 4-6 after delivery. The parameters considered were changes in foot length, the Foot Posture Index (FPI) and the Hernández Corvo Index, which were analysed using a pedigraph and taking into account the Body Mass Index (BMI). The same procedure was conducted in each review. Re…
Soft tissue integration of different abutment surfaces: An experimental study with histological analysis
2021
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether abutment surface and surface bio-activation have an effect on soft tissue morphogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS 36 patients (36 implants) were included. Abutments were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 9): Smooth Surface-MAChined (MAC), Ultrathin Threaded Microsurface (UTM), MAC Plasma of Argon activated (Plasma-MAC), and UTM Plasma of Argon activated (Plasma-UTM). After 2 months of healing, soft tissue samples were collected and prepared for histological analysis. The margin of the peri-implant mucosa (PM), the apical extension of the barrier epithelium (aJE), and the apical location of the abutment (AM) were identified. Significances of differences among gro…
Yhteiskunnan digimurros
2021
“The biggest part of our digital transformation is changing the way we think.” — Simeon Preston, CEO of International Markets unit in Bupa. Yhteiskunnan digimurros on laaja termi, joka kuvaa kokonaisvaltaista muutostilaa. Digimurros koskettaa lähes kaikkia elämän osa-alueita tämän päivän länsimaisessa kehittyneessä valtiossa. Digimurroksesta on puhuttu paljon muun muassa talouden ja teollisuuden konteksteissa, mutta on perusteltua sanoa, että kyseessä on yhteiskunnan kannalta paljon laajamittaisempi termi. Puhumme myös usein digitalisoituneesta yhteiskunnasta, mutta tämäkään ei itsessään ole riittävä termi ottamaan huomioon digitalisaation luomia muutoksia. Digimurros on enemmän kuin kokoel…
