La collaboration avec la recherche universitaire vue de l’entreprise. Quelques résultats d’enquêtes dans les secteurs des technologies optoélectroniq…
2011
Analysant les caractéristiques de la demande de connaissances externes des entreprises en fonction de leurs régimes d’innovation, l’article s’intéresse plus particulièrement au rôle donné à la recherche universitaire dans les stratégies d’innovation des entreprises. Les résultats tirés d'enquêtes auprès d’entreprises britanniques et françaises, développant des composants optoélectroniques, mettent en évidence l’existence de deux catégories de recherche : la R-D sur financement propre qui est liée aux objectifs à court terme, et la R-D à moyen et long terme qui dépend du financement externe. La participation de la recherche universitaire à la recherche à court terme de l’entreprise prend la …
Participatory tools and methods for community action. SESPAS Report 2018
2018
La participación es un proceso que requiere la implicación de responsables de la política, del personal directivo y técnico de las instituciones, y de la ciudadanía, así como de la acción intersectorial e interdisciplinaria. Para generar cambios transformadores es necesaria una infraestructura que favorezca la participación y la acción planificada, reconociendo a todos los actores del proceso. Se precisan tiempo y compromiso para su continuidad a través de la producción conjunta de acciones, y de ahí la importancia de consolidar proyectos participativos que continúen más allá de los cambios políticos para que los servicios públicos sean sostenibles. La formación, el uso adecuado de las herr…
Groups' warmth is a personal matter: Understanding consensus on stereotype dimensions reconciles adversarial models of social evaluation
2020
Abstract As proponents of two theories of social evaluation, we disagree whether people spontaneously differentiate societal groups' conservative-progressive beliefs (distinct claim of the agency-beliefs-communion or ABC model) or warmth/communion (distinct claim of the stereotype content model or SCM). Our adversarial collaboration provides one way to resolve this debate. Examining people from four continents who differentiated groups in their country (N = 2356), we found lower consensus on groups' warmth/communion compared to agency/~competence and beliefs (Studies 1–4). Consensus on groups' warmth/communion was lower because people differed in self-rated agency and beliefs, and they infe…
Trends in scientific research on climate change in agriculture and forestry subject areas (2005–2014)
2017
The term “Climate change” involves an alteration of the mean and variability of the climate properties. It implies unusual variations in the planet earth atmosphere, which causes related effect on other parts of the planet. The reduction in the land crops annual yield is derived from those alterations. The objective of this paper was to contribute to a better understanding of the scientific knowledge of climate change and its effect concerning agriculture and investigate its evolution through published papers. The items under study were obtained from the Web of Science (WOS) platform from Thomson Reuters. A bibliometric and social network analysis was performed to determine the indicators o…
Augstskolas zināšanu pārnesē Latvijā
2014
Anotācija Promocijas darba mērķis ir izpētīt augstskolu sadarbību ar citiem sociālajiem aģentiem zināšanu pārnesē Latvijā, izvērtējot dažādus zināšanu pārneses modeļus. Teorētiskais ietvars balstīts teorijās (Trīskāršās spirāles, Mode 2, inovāciju, sadarbības), kas atklāj sadarbību starp sociālajiem aģentiem zināšanu pārneses procesā. Pētījumā izmantota kvalitatīvā pieeja, gadījuma analīzes metode, analizējot divus augstskolu gadījumus – Latvijas Lauksaimniecības universitāti un Ventspils Augstskolu. Pētījuma rezultāti atklāj, ka augstskolās zināšanu pārnese pamatā tiek nodrošināta zinātnes (lineārā), pieprasījuma virzītā (divvirzienu) un trīskāršās spirāles modeļa ietvaros. Zināšanu pārnes…
On Supervising Master’s Theses in Industry Context
2022
In software engineering, students easily find internships in companies while still studying. To combine their studies and employment, many of them seek to compose their final theses in an industry context, for the benefit of the employer as well as to simplify their context switching between job and studies. This can put the student between a rock and a hard place, as on one hand the employer has certain expectations in terms of working for the company, whereas the supervising professor needs to follow the university guidelines. An additional aspect worth considering is the university as an administrative home for the thesis and owner of the thesis process. In this paper, we study how the d…
An Examination of the Role and Responsibilities of Kindergarten in Multidisciplinary Collaboration on Behalf of Children With Severe Disabilities
2014
The purpose of this study was to examine the role and responsibilities of Norwegian kindergarten (i.e., preschool for ages 0–6 years) from the perspective of participants involved in multidisciplinary collaboration on behalf of children with severe disabilities and their families. The authors employed a multiple-case study approach comprising 26 interviews across six cases. Findings suggest that kindergarten is considered an important partner for families and a major contributor to the provision of services. Kindergartens were valued for their (1) close relationships and intimate knowledge of children as individuals, (2) the sense of security and relief of stress that they provided to paren…
Chinese reverse M&As in the Netherlands: Chinese managers’ trust building practices
2019
Purpose Building trust is critical in reverse mergers and acquisitions (M&As), attributed to the divergence of governance and culture between the East and the West. This paper aims to explore the barriers and trust-building practices of Chinese managers in reverse M&As in developed countries. Design/methodology/approach The primary data set of this research contains case studies of two Chinese M&A deals and in-depth interviews with managers and advisories in the Netherlands. Findings This research finds that the divergences of decision-making structure, communication style and trust orientation generate barriers to the trust building in Chinese reverse M&As. The third-party…
Global, regional, and national burden of chronic kidney disease, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017
2020
Abstract: Background Health system planning requires careful assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) epidemiology, but data for morbidity and mortality of this disease are scarce or non-existent in many countries. We estimated the global, regional, and national burden of CKD, as well as the burden of cardiovascular disease and gout attributable to impaired kidney function, for the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017. We use the term CKD to refer to the morbidity and mortality that can be directly attributed to all stages of CKD, and we use the term impaired kidney function to refer to the additional risk of CKD from cardiovascular disease and gout. Methods Th…
INPROF – promoting teamwork processes and interprofessional collaboration in emergency work (2010–2012)
2015
This paper summarises the findings of a research project on interprofessional collaboration in the emergency unit of a major Finnish hospital. The findings are discussed through a broad conceptual framework which involves work process knowledge and interprofessional collaboration. The project, carried out from 2010–2012, investigated different forms of, prerequisites for, and barriers to, collaboration, and the aim was to develop the work together with staff at the unit. An ethnographically informed research strategy was utilised, with observations and interviews as the main data collection methods. On the whole, collaboration in the emergency unit was found to function rather well; i.e. pa…
