The scope of risk community solidarity

2019

Autor opracowania traktuje solidarność wspólnoty ryzyka jako zasadę prawa ubezpieczeń społecznych wyrażającą się w nierównym (co do czasu i rozmiaru) ponoszeniu ciężaru finansowania kosztu ubezpieczeń społecznych (opłacania składek) w stosunku do oczekiwanej (lecz tylko potencjalnej) korzyści, tj. świadczenia otrzymywanego wyłącznie w razie ziszczenia się socjalnego ryzyka i spełnienia ustawowych warunków przyznania świadczenia. Przy określaniu granic (zakresu) stosowania mechanizmów solidarnościowych nie należy zatem tolerować zachowań lub wprowadzać rozwiązań, których celem jest nadużywanie ochrony ubezpieczeniowej (np. w postaci wykorzystywania określonej sytuacji osobistej dla celów prz…

SCOPE-Based Emulators for Fast Generation of Synthetic Canopy Reflectance and Sun-Induced Fluorescence Spectra

2017

Progress in advanced radiative transfer models (RTMs) led to an improved understanding of reflectance (R) and sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) emission throughout the leaf and canopy. Among advanced canopy RTMs that have been recently modified to deliver SIF spectral outputs are the energy balance model SCOPE and the 3D models DART and FLIGHT. The downside of these RTMs is that they are computationally expensive, which makes them impractical in routine processing, such as scene generation and retrieval applications. To bypass their computational burden, a computationally effective technique has been proposed by only using a limited number of model runs, called emulation. The idea …

Work and life balance – the new age management matter

2019

Even apart from the dramatic statistical data about sicknesses caused by imbalance and burnout, surveys make it clear that individuals are struggling to enjoy living because of the growing workload and the persistent presence of technologies around us (EQLS, 2016). Work-life imbalance causes loss for companies for several reasons - intentional or unintentional absence at work, high employee turnover, low productivity, insurance costs etc. The scientific question arises from the fact that until now there have not been clear researches which indicate the model of how the work and life balance (WLB) or imbalance is being created. Particularly, author is interested in how the interaction betwee…

Multiskilled in many ways : Ghanaian Female Journalists Between Job and Home

2020

In Ghana, feminisation of journalism profession has become a fact: more girls are entering journalism programmes in the Universities, and the number of women employees are growing in the newsrooms. The problem of balancing worktime arrangements (e.g. irregular and unpredictable work schedules, weekend work and long working hours) with equally important domestic obligations are familiar to most female journalists around the globe. Even in countries with well-developed social support structures, and well-defined labour laws, the current nature of journalism worktime arrangements impedes many female journalists to achieve work–life balance. For most Ghanaian female journalists, the culturally …

The Supranational Dimension in Max Weber’s Vision of Politics

2019

Max Weber analyzed politics from the perspective of Chancen for actors, and he never separated world politics from domestic politics. The “Westphalian balance” between great European powers shaped Weber’s views on international polity. However, he also regarded Western individualism, human rights, and parliamentary democracy as necessary qualities to possess in order to be recognized as a great power. This vision provided the basis for his wartime critique of the expansionist tendencies in German foreign policy and for his demand for the parliamentarization of German politics. After the end of World War I, Weber used Woodrow Wilson’s idea of the League of Nations as the basis for a proposal…

Physiological and autonomic stress responses after prolonged sleep restriction and subsequent recovery sleep in healthy young men

2018

Purpose Sleep restriction is increasingly common and associated with the development of health problems. We investigated how the neuroendocrine stress systems respond to prolonged sleep restriction and subsequent recovery sleep in healthy young men. Methods After two baseline (BL) nights of 8 h time in bed (TIB), TIB was restricted to 4 h per night for five nights (sleep restriction, SR, n = 15), followed by three recovery nights (REC) of 8 h TIB, representing a busy workweek and a recovery weekend. The control group (n = 8) had 8 h TIB throughout the experiment. A variety of autonomic cardiovascular parameters, together with salivary neuropeptide Y (NPY) and cortisol levels, were assessed.…

Harnessing Women’s Potential as a Soft Engine for Growth : Lessons from Contrasting Trajectories between Finland and Japan for Growing Economies

2017

Harnessing the vigor of women’s potential is essential for inclusive economic growth in a digital economy moving toward aging society. This can be a soft engine for sustainable growth substitutable for costly hard investment. While there exists explicit evidence of a virtual cycle between economic growth and gender balance improvement, emerging countries cannot afford to overcome the constraints of low income. Given the foregoing, this paper analyzed possible co-evolution between economic growth, gender balance improvement and digital innovation initiated by information and communication technology (ICT) advancement. Using a unique dataset representing the state of gender balance improvemen…

Technical determinants of competitive rifle shooting performance

2018

The purpose of this thesis was to identify technical determinants of elite level air rifle and biathlon standing shooting performance and investigate how these technical determinants are affected by training, competition situation, or intense exercise. Forty international and national level air rifle shooters and 17 biathletes participated in the studies. In air rifle shooting, shooting performance, aiming point trajectory, and postural balance were measured from each shot in a simulated competition series in the training situation and in the actual competition situation. The shooters’ competition results were collected from each measured season. In biathlon, the same shooting technical var…

Le procedure di nomina di competenza parlamentare e governativa: analisi comparata e proposte per un (ri)equilibrio di genere nell’ordinamento italia…

2020

La presente ricerca mira ad analizzare, secondo una prospettiva comparata, i meccanismi gender balanced, eventualmente presenti, nelle procedure di nomina delle cariche pubbliche, di competenza parlamentare e governativa. Il principio dell’equilibrio di genere, sebbene di portata costituzionale, spesso non risulta attuato nella realtà concreta, rispetto alla quale difficilmente si riscontra una composizione paritaria sul piano della dimensione istituzionale. Lo studio ha riguardato l’analisi delle modalità di nomina di Authorities, Corti costituzionali e organi di autogoverno della magistratura di alcuni ordinamenti europei (Spagna, Germania, Francia, Portogallo e Regno Unito). La comparazi…
