Exploring dark creativity: the role of power in an unethical marketing task

2020

Creativity is seen as a significant driver for successful marketing activities. However, little attention is paid to its shady side and little research on the prerequisites for unethical behaviour of marketing experts and executives is on hand. In our experimental study, we examine the mutual influence of power, honesty-humility, and benevolent creativity as predictors for ‘dark creativity’ (the use of creative ideas for malevolent actions). Participants (N = 387) were randomly assigned to a high vs. low power condition (role of marketing director vs. marketing intern). Dark creativity was correlated to benevolent creativity, power motive, and honesty-humility, but did not depend on the pow…

Postmetropoli in contesti al 'margine'

2014

Il sud Europa, ad eccezione del nord Italia, è considerato come una porzione 'marginale', la 'meno globale' del continente e fino a poco tempo fa c'era chi lo dipingeva come appartenente al 'Terzo Mondo'. La Sicilia e  considerata al limite di questa 'marginalità' e, per molte ragioni, lo è. Eppure, nuovi processi sono in corso. I territori siciliani stanno attraversando notevoli fasi di cambiamento fisico, sociale ed economico, mostrando una transizione, per molti aspetti inedita, verso forme post-metropolitane. Si tratta di aree per molti aspetti paradigmatiche in grado di restituire le diverse nature del 'post' sotto il profilo spaziale, economico, demografico e sociale. Si affronterà, d…

Simulation and validation of urban dynamics with cellular automata

2018

Cet article, rédigé en 2008, présente les évolutions importantes la plateforme SpaCelle pour simuler l'évolution d'un espace à l'aide d'automate cellulaire. En particulier, la version 5 permet la structuration multi-couches des cellules pour gérer la dynamique de plusieurs variables définies sur un maillage. Elle permet aussi d'utiliser des cellules de type linéaires ou ponctuelles à travers des couches de type réseau. Les différentes couches ont leur propre dynamique et les règles peuvent faire interagir les couches entre elles. Ces fonctionnalités avancées ont permis de construire un nouveau modèle sur l'évolution de l'agglomération rouennaise plus proche de la réalité terrain en utilisan…

CVB3 VP1 interacts with MAT1 to inhibit cell proliferation by interfering with Cdk-activating kinase complex activity in CVB3-induced acute pancreati…

2021

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) belongs to the genus Enterovirus of the family Picornaviridae and can cause acute acinar pancreatitis in adults. However, the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis underlying CVB3-induced acute pancreatitis have remained unclear. In this study, we discovered that CVB3 capsid protein VP1 inhibited pancreatic cell proliferation and exerted strong cytopathic effects on HPAC cells. Through yeast two-hybrid, co-immunoprecipitation, and confocal microscopy, we show that Menage a trois 1 (MAT1), a subunit of the Cdk-Activating Kinase (CAK) complex involved in cell proliferation and transcription, is a novel interaction protein with CVB3 VP1. Moreover, CVB3 VP1 inhibited MAT…

Onko urbanisaatio maaseudun turma? : kaupunkien väestönkasvun vaikutukset erityyppisen maaseudun väestökehitykseen Suomessa ajanjaksolla 1990-2015

2018

Kaupungistuminen on edennyt nopeasti Suomessakin, ja samalla maaseutu on menettänyt väestöään ja aktiviteettejaan. Miten urbanisaation eteneminen on vaikuttanut maaseudun kehitykseen? Artikkelin mukaan urbanisaatio levittää kaupunkien ympäristöön sekä ”varjoa” että ”valoa”, mutta ydinmaaseudun ja harvaan asutun maaseudun negatiiviseen kehitykseen se ei ole vaikuttanut. peerReviewed

Prescription opioid use and employment : A nationwide Finnish register study

2021

Background: The secular decline in labor market participation and the concurrent increase in opioid use in many developed countries have sparked a policy debate on the possible connection between these two trends. We examined whether the use of prescription opioids was connected to labor market outcomes relating to participation, employment and unemployment among the Finnish population. Methods: The working-age population (aged 19–64 years) living in Finland during the period 1995–2016 was used in the analyses (consisting of 67 903 701 person-year observations). Lagged values of prescription opioid use per capita were used as the exposure. Instrumental variables (IV) estimation method was u…
