Conceptualization for intended action: A dynamic model
2023
Concepts are the building blocks of higher-order cognition and consciousness. Building on Conceptual Spaces Theory (CST) and proceeding from the assumption that concepts are inherently dynamic, this paper provides historical context to and significantly elaborates the previously offered Iterative Subdivision Model (ISDM) with the goal of pushing it toward empirical testability. The paper describes how agents in continuous interaction with their environment adopt an intentional orientation, estimate the utility of the concept(s) applicable to action in the current context, engage in practical action, and adopt any new concepts that emerge: a largely pre-intellectual cycle that repeats essent…
The effect of different technologies in Pomegranate jam preparation on the phenolic compounds, vitamin C and antioxidant activity
2023
The effect of different gelling agents and processing for jam production from pomegranate juice was evaluated. In the last years, different gelling agents were tested for improving jam quality in terms of color and bioactive compounds. The unsonicated and sonicated pomegranate juices were processed for jam production by micro waves, under vacuum and cryoconcentration concentration methods using low and high methoxy pectins, and carob seed flour as gelling agents. The polyphenols content of sonicated jam was significantly lower than unsonicated samples and cryoconcentrated jams showed the significantly highest value among other methods. The results showed the highest anthocyanin content in t…

To Deceive or not Deceive: Unveiling The Adoption Determinants Of Defensive Cyber Deception in Norwegian Organizations
2023
Due to the prevailing threat landscape in Norway, it is imperative for organizations to safe- guard their infrastructures against cyber threats. One of the technologies that is advan- tageous against these threats is defensive cyber deception, which is an approach in cyber security that aims to be proactive, to interact with the attackers, trick them, deceive them and use this to the defenders advantage. This type of technology can help organizations defend against sophisticated threat actors that are able to avoid more traditional defensive mechanisms, such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). In order to aid the adoption of defensive cyber deception …

L’accettazione del diritto secondo Alfonso Catania: qualche osservazione a margine
2023
A dieci anni dall’uscita di The Concept of Law, Alfonso Catania pubblica, sulla prestigiosa Rivista internazionale di filosofia del diritto, un saggio critico dal titolo: L’accettazione nel pensiero di Herbert L. A. Hart. Si tratta di un saggio meritatamente celebre, di cui è difficile esagerare l’impatto oggettivo e anche soggettivo. In questo saggioproporrò una ricostruzione delle tesi salienti del saggio di Catania del 1971 e, a partire da questa ricostruzione, metterò finalmente in bella forma alcune delle mie “osservazioni a margine” che si sono sedimentate nel corso degli anni sulla mia fotocopia, ormai lisa, de L’accettazione del diritto nel pensiero di Herbert L. A. Hart.

Educational Migration Trends Review in Poland (with Particular Emphasis on the Immigration of Ukrainian Youth)
2023
This article aims to review and synthesise research on educational migration in Poland, particularly youth immigration from Ukraine. The paper collects statistical data from 2004, which allowed for the analysis of the existing trends in educational migration in Poland. The research on the largest group of foreign students – citizens of Ukraine – was reviewed, which resulted in identifying research gaps regarding student mobility in Poland, both in terms of demand and supply of educational migrations. The practical implication appears to show that the governments of the host countries, the business sector, and the academic units – due to the increase in the number of foreign students – can e…
Geographic imagination and urban-rural binary in online discourses related to the capital region of Finland : A corpus onomastic study of Helsinki, V…
2023
The article focuses on digital discourses related to Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa, the three biggest municipalities in Finland’s capital region. The data consist of texts from the discussion forum of Suomi24 that was analysed to find out how forum users produce socio-spatial distinctions by categorizing some groups as ‘others’ thus differentiating in-groups and out-groups. The analysis used methods of comprised corpus assisted discourse studies (CADS), including collocation analysis. The results show that discourses related both to native and non-native Helsinkians and to those living in the capital region in contrast to those living elsewhere in Finland are common and the juxtapositions betw…

Les hispanismes en français et en tchèque contemporain : une étude comparative
2023
The Spanish language, which is spoken by 463 million native speakers around the world, represents a major source of loan-words. The vast majority of loan-words from Spanish come from previous centuries when Spanish shone as a language of international communication, which is not the case to¬day. However, Spanish left an important linguistic heritage and its traces can be seen in French as well as in Czech today. Our study carries out in a comparative manner and its objective is to analyze the Hispanisms that have entered the French and Czech languages. After having established a corpus of Hispanisms that are present in both languages, we have divided them into four categories: words related…

I randsonen av den norske velferdsstaten. Arbeidsledige polske migranters erfaringer med tilgang til offentlige velferdsytelser og møter med NAV.
2023
This thesis seeks to answer two research questions: How do unemployed Polish migrants in Norway experience their access to public welfare benefits and their encounters with NAV? And how are these experiences institutionally shaped? As EEA citizens, Polish migrants are free to enter and work in any EEA country, thus enjoying a privileged status. However, they can end up in a vulnerable position if they become unemployed. EEA migrants’ rights to public welfare benefits are characterised by legal grey zones and ambiguity. In many ways, EEA mobility disrupts and blurs the boundaries of citizenship and national states. This study explores the experiences of dealing with the Norwegian welfare adm…

Monitoring of stress distribution in damaged small-scale masonry walls by using two innovative sensors
2023
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) represents a strategic solution for the preservation of cultural heritage buildings. Existing masonry structures often suffer reductions in mechanical performances due to physiological aging of material constituents, external actions, and effect of catastrophic natural events. In many cases, the prompt prediction of damage in masonry elements is difficult and it can cause sudden collapses, compromising the safety of people. The proposed experimental study examines the effectiveness of two low-cost and innovative stress sensors, i.e. piezoelectric and capacitive stress sensors, for SHM of masonry structures. To this scope, the sensors were embedded in the m…
Justinian den store og lærebøkene: En historiografisk analyse av engelskspråklige introduserende ettbinds lærebøker over Bysants' historie
2023
Justinian the Great was the byzantine emperor from 527 to 565. There has been little research on the modern historiography surrounding him, including in English-language introductory one-volume textbooks on the history of Byzantium. This paper examines how this emperor has been presented and evaluated in four different English-language, introductory one-volume textbooks through historiographic analysis. These books are History of the Byzantine Empire by Alexander Vasiliev (1953), History of the Byzantine State by George Ostrogrosky (1968), A History of the Byzantine State and Society by Warren Treadgold (1997), and A Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire edited by Jonathan Shepard (2008…
General Practitioners-CommunityPharmacists practice groups: Analysis of the potentialities and limits of this practice through its implementation in …
2023
Practice groups involving general practitioners and community pharmacists have been developed in several European countries (Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland) since the 1980s. Each country has implemented this practice using a different model with similarities but also specificities. Each model has encountered different dynamics during its implementation thanks to a significant and even growing participation of professionals in the Netherlands and Switzerland and, to a lesser extent, in Belgium. According to the research that has studied the implementation of these models, the potential of this practice is important in terms of improving the quality of drug prescription and in its cost…
Not by the book: the teaching of history in Norwegian kindergartens
2023
This article reports a local study of the presence of history as a subject in the kindergartens of Kristiansand, a municipality in southern Norway. There is no syllabus for history in the national curriculum; nevertheless, the research sought to find historical content in the kindergartens. The research method was informed by a precept of history didactics, namely that history is everywhere. Using this observation, tentative categories for content likely to feature history were formulated, and then searched for in the individual yearly plans of the kindergartens. This was supplemented by interviews. It is concluded that, in accordance with the national curriculum, history in the kindergarte…

Employing a complementary mixed-methods design, the experts first prepared reviews abou…
Yhteisöjen työkulttuurien piiloon jäävän dynamiikan tutkiminen
2023
Yhteisöissä kaikkea tekemistä ja olemistamme ohjaavat paitsi julkilausutut tavoitteet, myös vaikeammin havaittava, piiloon jäävä dynamiikka. Ongelmalliset tilanteet yhteisöissä liittyvät usein tähän piiloon jäävään dynamiikkaan, joka on läsnä kaikessa vuorovaikutuksessa. Tämä dynamiikka muokkaa ihmisten työn arkea, kokemuksia omista toimintamahdollisuuksista sekä yhteisöön kuulumisen mahdollisuuksista. Arkikielellä ilmaistuna tällaiset asiat menevät “ihon alle”, ja siksi saattavat aiheuttaa voimakkaitakin reaktioita. Yksilöiden työkyky ja hyvinvointi löytyvät usean organisaation henkilöstöstrategian keskiöstä. Työ- ja elinkeinoministeriön työolobarometrin (Lyly-Yrjänäinen 2022) mukaan työel…

Accrochage de fréquence dans un laser à fibre à respiration : observation de l’arbre de Farey et de l’escalier du diable
2023
Contrairement au soliton brillant, les solitons à respiration présentent un comportement oscillatoire périodique. L’utilisation des fibres optiques a grandement facilité leur observation: l’interaction sur une grande distance entre la non-linéarité Kerr et la dispersion, en la quasi-absence de dissipation a ainsi permis la caractérisation fine des solitons à respiration d’Akhmediev, de Ma ou bien encore de leur cas limite, le soliton de Peregrine.Grâce au développement des techniques de détection en temps réel, les cavités laser à fibre offrent une autre plateforme extrêmement intéressante. Dans le contexte des lasers ultrarapides à modes bloqués, la génération d’impulsions à respiration co…
Normes et genres dans l'Europe des Lumières
2023
Que signifie être un homme et une femme ? À quelles déterminations et à quelles injonctions de genre la personne est-elle soumise ? Ces questions, au cœur de notre présent, agitent le monde des Lumières. Temps de refondation scientifique, mais aussi de naturalisation des corps et d’interrogation sur les conséquences politiques et sociales d’une hiérarchie entre le masculin et le féminin, le 18e siècle pense les « sexes » autant qu’il problématise leur construction et révèle, au cœur des dominations les plus installées, des stratégies de contournement. C’est à ce faisceau complexe d’appropriations, entre assignations subies et libertés conquises, que s’intéresse ce numéro. Intitulé Normes et…
Alcune riflessioni sull’indipendenza giudiziaria nel contesto europeo
2023
This article aims to provide some reflections on the links between judiciary independence, the rule of law, and the role of judges both national and European. First of all, it focuses on the evolution of the role of the judge in the constitutional and European systems. Then, it shows how the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights have developed criteria to ensure the independence of judges, analysing them. Moreover, it examines the criteria that have been developed by the European courts and by the opinions of the Consultative Council of European Judges about the independence of the Judiciary Councils.
La renovación pedagógica en la transición a la democracia en España: el caso del Colegio Oficial de Doctores y Licenciados de Valencia, 1970-1978
2023
El siglo XX estuvo marcado por numerosos Movimientos de Renovación Pedagógica, en los que el profesorado trabajó motivado por mejorar la práctica en el aula. En la investigación nos centraremos en un momento muy concreto en España, determinado por la represión, los deseos de cambio, democracia y liberación. Una etapa marcada por la transición española que coincide con la promulgación de la Ley General de Educación de 1970, en la que un grupo de maestros y maestras valencianos aunaron fuerzas y conocimientos para cambiar una escuela anquilosada con la que habían tenido que lidiar en los últimos años de la dictadura franquista. Uno de estos colectivos llegó a conformar el Seminario de Pedagog…

Profiles of early career insecurity and its outcomes in adolescence : A four‐wave longitudinal study
2023
This study investigated the developmental profiles of perceived early career insecurity (ECI) and their outcomes among adolescents (n = 1416) during a critical educational transition from basic education to upper secondary education. We found three distinct latent profiles with varying amounts of ECI: Profile 1: Moderate and decreasing ECI before the transition (57%); Profile 2: Low-decreasing ECI before the transition but increasing ECI after the transition (31%); and Profile 3: High and stable ECI during the transition (12%). Moreover, the ECI profiles related to school and life satisfaction as well as to school stress and dropout intentions in a meaningful way consistent with the stresso…

Moderniseringen av husfliden: En undersøkelse av husflidbegrepets endring i perioden 1850-1914
2023
Husflid has played a historically important role in the Norwegian culture, economy and institutionalizing of the country. In other terms, husflid is and has been a central part of Norway and its history. In different periods, separate sides of the phenomenon has been presented as being the most essential. In the early modern period, the social discourse and discussions, and the blossoming national tendencies were seen as the most relevant. Later in the 19th century, the economic aspects of husflid were seen as the most important. Today, on the other hand, the cultural aspects of husflid are viewed as the most important side of the term. The term itself has therefore changed with the times b…
