River flow monitoring: LS-PIV technique, an image-based method to assess discharge

2022

The measurement of the river discharge within a natural ort artificial channel is still one of the most challenging tasks for hydrologists and the scientific community. Although discharge is a physical quantity that theoretically can be measured with very high accuracy, since the volume of water flows in a well-defined domain, there are numerous critical issues in obtaining a reliable value. Discharge cannot be measured directly, so its value is obtained by coupling a measurement of a quantity related to the volume of flowing water and the area of a channel cross-section. Direct measurements of current velocity are made, traditionally with instruments such as current meters. Although measur…

Partnership formation and dissolution over the life course: applying sequence analysis and event history analysis in the study of recurrent events

2015

We present two types of approach to the analysis of recurrent events for discretely measured data, and show how these methods can complement each other when analysing co-residential partnership histories. Sequence analysis is a descriptive tool that gives an overall picture of the data and helps to find typical and atypical patterns in histories. Event history analysis is used to make conclusions about the effects of covariates on the timing and duration of the partnerships. As a substantive question, we studied how family background and childhood socio-emotional characteristics were related to later partnership formation and stability in a Finnish cohort born in 1959. We found that high se…

Effects of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Passion for Work on Performance Variables in Sports Clubs

2021

Entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work have been widely studied due to their effects on the behaviour and attitude of management teams in the short- and long-term. However, despite the influences of these variables on the sustainability and survival of an entity, there is a gap when considering the effects of these two performance variables in sports organisations. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to understand the influences of entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work on service quality and sporting performance. To this end, 199 Spanish non-profit sports clubs were analysed using instruments with good psychometric properties. Data analysis was carried out…

REIMAR. Registro delle identità della pesca mediterranea e dei borghi marinari

2023

Nell’arcaico, tensionale e contraddittorio rapporto tra le comunità e il mare, i saperi tecnici finalizzati allo sfruttamento delle risorse si intrecciano inestricabilmente con specifiche concezioni del mondo e della natura. Così, alla dimensione materiale relativa alla produzione degli strumenti artigianali funzionali alla pesca, si affianca un complesso e vasto orizzonte di rappresentazioni ideologiche e di pratiche simboliche che in Sicilia sono ancora vitali nonostante le profonde trasformazioni socioeconomiche. Il Registro delle Identità della Pesca Mediterranea e dei Borghi Marinari è stato istituito dal Dipartimento della Pesca Mediterranea della Regione Siciliana per salvaguardare e…

Efficienza idrologico-idraulica di pavimentazioni semi-permeabili per il controllo degli allagamenti pluviali

2021

La sostenibilità del binomio “acqua – città” è uno spunto interessante di discussione e confronto nell’ambito delle diverse discipline che affrontano il tema dell’ambiente urbano, delle sue continue trasformazioni, e della necessità di resilienza agli allagamenti. Le soluzioni tecniche e tecnologiche oggi a disposizione di chi si occupa di queste problematiche, per affrontare il tema di un rapporto sostenibile tra l’acqua e l’ambiente urbano sono molteplici, alcune tradizionali e di consolidata esperienza, altre innovative e di più recente applicazione sul campo. L’urbanizzazione influisce negativamente sulla formazione e propagazione dei deflussi; nelle aree urbanizzate i rapidi processi d…

Voiko etiikkaa opettaa : etiikan opetettavuuden tarkastelua Lawrence Kohlbergin, D. Z. Phillipsin ja Martha C. Nussbaumin ajattelun valossa

VOIKO ETIIKKAA OPETTAA? Etiikan opetettavuuden tarkastelua Lawrence Kohlbergin, D. Z. Phillipsin ja Martha C. Nus- sabumin ajattelun valossa Vesa Nuorva Filosofia Pro gradu –tutkielma Yhteiskuntatieteiden ja filosofian laitos Ohjaaja: Professori Mikko Yrjönsuuri Kevät 2016 129 sivua Tutkimuksen tehtävänä oli selvittää etiikan opetuksen mahdollisuutta ja mielekkyyttä yleissivistä- vässä ja ammatillisessa koulutuksessa Suomessa. Näitä koulutuksia säätelevät lait edellyttävät, että oppilaista tulee eettisesti hyvin käyttäytyviä ja vastuullisia kansalaisia.

Universum szkoły wyższej versus rynek pracy

2017

Dyskurs akademicki dotyczący spraw łączenia odmiennych ról uniwersytetów prowadzi do dialogu, w którym akcentowane są różnorodne poglądy. Przykład universum uczelni wyższej w zestawieniu z potrzebami rynku pracy to jeden z licznych obszarów dialogu. W artykule zastosowano narzędzie analizy czynnikowej, które może być pomocne w dociekaniu akademickim. Z jego pomocą można dokonywać ze stawień odpowiednich funkcji, wykazując ich zbieżności w odniesieniu do konkretnych czynników określających specyfikę uniwersytetu jako typu uczelni wyższej. Rozważania są prowadzone z perspektywy pedagogiki społecznej, która jest nauką łączącą teorię z praktyką.

Rational Herding in Reward-Based Crowdfunding: An MTurk Experiment.

2020

Crowdfunding is gaining popularity as a way of financing social sustainable initiatives. We performed a controlled economic experiment in MTurk by simulating a crowdfunding platform and developed a theoretical model that rationalizes herding behavior. The experiment was designed to test and quantify the causal effects of revealing specific information to prospective backers: (i) the number of early contributors already financing the project and (ii) positive opinions of other backers versus those of experts. The results show that early contributions to the campaign and positive opinions of peers act as a reinforcing signal to potential backers and affect backers&rsquo
