The Analysis of the Relationship between the Quality of Life Level and Expectations of Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases under the Home Care of P…
2022
The World Health Organization defines quality of life as a person’s perception of his or her life situation in relation to the culture and value system in which he or she lives, in relation to and with respect to his or her functioning assumptions, expectations, and standards set by environmental conditions. Meeting the expectations of patients with CVD is one of the factors that positively influences their health status and leads to better diagnostic and treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to answer three main questions related to patients with chronic cardiovascular disease: (1) What is their quality of life? (2) Are patients’ expectations about the quality of care p…
A Problem of Optimization in a Case of Foreign Investment
2000
The aim of the paper is to solve an optimization problem in an economic system with a central bank and a set of private agents. Each agent aims to maximize her expected utility, with rational expectations and being risk averse. The agents follow a profitability-risk criterium to face the portfolio diversification problem between foreign or domestic investment. An explicit formula for the optimal amount of foreign investment as a function of the expected exchange rate and an explicit formula for the exchange rate are obtained. These formulas show the hard influence of the expected exchange rate, the variance and the risk aversion on the agents’ decisions.
I comportamenti virtuosi tra rispetto delle norme e aspettative sociali
2020
Il capitolo si sofferma sull’azione rispetto alle norme spiegando come le aspettative sociali ricoprano un ruolo cruciale nella gestione delle informazioni utili per muoverci nell’ambiente in cui viviamo, giacchè ci consentono di ridurre l’incertezza derivante dall’assunzione di determinate scelte, di stimare quali possibili effetti avrà una nostra azione in un determinato tempo e in uno specifico contesto, o ancora di valutare quali possono essere le strategie che possiamo mettere in campo per ridurre la probabilità di una risposta indesiderata da parte degli altri. The chapter focuses on action with respect to the rules, explaining how social expectations play a crucial role in the man…
Legalità, violenza e criminalità organizzata
2020
I contributi di questo volume, diversi per argomentazione e per tipo di approccio selezionato guardano ai temi della violenza e del rispetto delle norme evidenziando aspetti diversi, tutti tenuti insieme, però, dall'obiettivo generale del libro: approfondire la conoscenza delle dimensioni della violenza, dell'uso della violenza stessa da parte delle organizzazioni criminali, delle azioni di prevenzione e contrasto poste in essere, non trascurando il punto di vista dei giovani, anche a partire dai quali è stata costruita buona parte della base empirica necessaria per alcune riflessioni, utili per fornire indicazioni anche a coloro che quotidianamente sono impegnati in percorsi formativi volt…
Why people engage in supplemental work: The role of technology, response expectations, and communication persistence
2021
Supported by various collaboration technologies that allow communication from any place or time, employees increasingly engage in technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW). Challenges associated with managing work and non-work time have been further complicated by a global pandemic that has altered traditional work patterns and locations. To date studies applying a TASW framework have focused mainly on individual uses of technology or connectivity behaviors, and not considered the potential team and social pressures underlying these processes. This study provides clarity on the differences between technology use and TASW and sheds light on the drivers of TASW in a work environment charac…

Children’s beliefs concerning school transition
2016
This study examines preschoolers’ beliefs concerning their transfer into primary education. Data from 1386 Finnish preschoolers were obtained using interviews with parents at the end of the children’s preschool year. The qualitative content analysis revealed categories, which encompassed peer relationships, relationship with teacher, learning, formal schoolwork, informal activities, comfortable school entry and no concerns. The results indicated that children’s beliefs concerning their prospective school entry centred on maintaining and making friendships, and that children possessed both negative and positive expectations about their relationship with their future teacher. Both girls and b…
Evaluating currency crises: the case of the European monetary system
2007
In this paper we examine the nature of currency crises. We ascertain whether the currency crises of the European Monetary System (EMS) were based either on fundamentals, or on self-fulfilling market expectations driven by extrinsic uncertainty. In particular, we extend previous work of Jeanne and Masson (J Int Econ 50:327–350, 2000) regarding the evaluation of currency crisis. We contribute to the existing literature proposing the use of Markov regime-switching with time-varying transition probability model. Our empirical results suggest that the currency crises of the EMS were not due only to market expectations driven by external uncertainty, or ‘sunspots’, but also to fundamental variabl…
Tiesību normu laika aspekti tiesiskā un demokrātiskā valstī
2015
Promocijas darbā „Tiesību normu laika aspekti tiesiskā un demokrātiskā valstī” ir izpētīts, kuros gadījumos likumdevējs ir tiesīgs pieņemt tiesību normas ar iedarbību uz pagātnē izveidotām tiesiskajām attiecībām. Izveidotu tiesisko attiecību ietekmēšana ir izvērtējama, balstoties uz tiesiskās paļāvības principu. Lai noskaidrotu, vai tiesiskās paļāvības princips ir aizskarts, ir jākonstatē, vai tiesību normām ir atpakaļejošs spēks laikā. Atšķirībā no sodu tiesībām, kur atpakaļejošs spēka identificēšana per se padara tiesību normas par prettiesiskām, citās tiesību nozarēs pēc atpakaļejoša spēka konstatēšanas vēl būtu jāizvērtē, vai sabiedrības interešu aizsardzība nav iespējama ar mazāku ieja…
Mutiskā tulkošana evaņģēliskajās draudzēs ar dievkalpojumiem krievu valodā
2017
Maģistra darbs „Mutiskā tulkošana evaņģēliskajās draudzēs ar dievkalpojumiem krievu valodā” izstrādāts 2017. gada pavasarī. Mutiskās tulkošanas nozares pētniekus arvien vairāk interesē dažādu tulkošanas situāciju pētniecība. Taču mutiskā tulkošana draudzēs, neskatoties uz tās vēsturisko nozīmi tulkošanas jomā, arvien palikusi novārtā. Šī darba autore, draudzes tulks ar 25 gadu stāžu, vēlās pievērst uzmanību šai savas kompetences jomai, mutiskajai tulkošanai evaņģēliskajās draudzēs ar dievkalpojumiem krievu valodā, un izveidot „ideālā” draudzes tulka portretu, balstoties uz klientu vēlmēm. Pētījums tika uzsākts 2015. gadā, veicot pilotaptauju, un turpinājās 2017. gadā. Kopumā 258 respondenti…
