Water distribution network robust design based on energy surplus index maximization
2015
The aim of this paper is to show that energy surplus indices, such as resilience index, besides providing a very good indirect measure of water distribution network reliability to be adopted during the design phase, represent also a valuable and effective indicator of the robustness of the network in alternative network scenarios, and can thus be profitably used in condition of future demands uncertainty. The methodology adopted consisted of (I) multi-objective design optimization performed in order to minimize construction costs while maximizing the resilience index; (II) retrospective performance assessment of the alternative solutions of the Pareto front obtained, under demand conditions…

Editorial: New Forms of Media Work and Its Organizational and Institutional Conditions

The 10 articles in the issue not only focus on the new professional roles and responsibilities emerging in the news media industry but also study the practices of media work in organizations in other fields, such as the music industry …
Peer interaction and pioneering organizational form adoption : A tale of the first two for-profit stock exchanges
2021
Building on a historical case study on the first two stock exchanges to adopt the now globally dominant for-profit organizational form, the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 1993 and the Helsinki Stock Exchange in 1995, we argue that interaction among socially proximate peers contributes to pioneering organizational form adoption within an industry, particularly when such forms are introduced by established organizations. Peer interaction can induce a search for technically efficient organizational forms through the sharing of collective experiences, the establishment of collective assumptions, and a joint search for solutions. Together, these factors contribute to the legitimization of novel or…
Expectations and Experiences of Implementing a Mobile Secure Communication Application
2020
The privacy and security of communication in corporations and governmental organizations has increased enormously over the years. At the same time, a growing amount of technological solutions to support this have emerged. This study examines user expectations before and use experiences during the implementation phase of a mobile secure communication application. These are investigated from the expectation–confirmation perspective and its influence on continued adoption. The study has an exploratory approach for this investigation. To guide the investigation, the study draws from the expectation–confirmation theory (ECT) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). Emp…
Primed Authenticity: How Priming Impacts Authenticity Perception of Social Media Influencers
2019
Though organizations increasingly collaborate with social media influencers, such as bloggers and videobloggers, little is known as to how the contextual cues related to sponsored content affect the authenticity perception of the social media influencers among audience members. This study explores how positive and negative priming of sponsored content shapes the authenticity perception of the vlogger among its audience members. Four different manipulation conditions were constructed to study a U.S. based travel vlog on Qualtrics, with data collected via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. A theory-guided content analysis of 211 open viewer responses was conducted to compare perceptions of authenticit…

Duszpasterski kairos orędzia, kultu i jubileuszu 100-lecia objawień fatimskich
2017
Jubileusz 100-lecia objawień w Fatimie był bardzo dobrą okazją do jego jeszcze lepszego poznania, propagowania i wprowadzenia do duszpasterstwa. Orędzie fatimskie, obok części doktrynalnej, wykształciło i ma wpływ na tradycyjne oraz nowe formy pobożności z szczególnym wyakcentowaniem kultu Niepokalanego Serca Maryi i związanych z tym praktyk religijnych, takich jak modlitwa różańcowa oraz nabożeństwo pierwszych sobót. Stanowi to wezwanie pastoralne dla Kościoła, aby z jednej strony pogłębiać wciąż rozumienie orędzia fatimskiego i wypływających z niego implikacji pastoralnych, a z drugiej strony dostosowywać i w sposób zgodny z tym orędziem kształtować pobożność maryjną w duszpasterstwie. W …

This chapter outlines the increasing prominence of Big Data and its application to marketing practice. The 8Ps of the Expanded Marketing Mix: Product, Price, Place, Promotion, Process, Physical evidence, Partnerships and People are applied as the lens in explaining the application of Big Data in contemporary marketing practice.

In the future, Artificial Intelligence will become important in handling Big Data. In preparation for this, the…
