Modèle global et paramétrable, pour la gestion des foules d'agents en animation comportementale
2011
The realism of crowd behavioral animation is based on one hand on a rendering of graphic scenes generated by the application, and on the other hand on the realism of the behavior. This is last point which is our object of study. The realism of crowds' behavior is essentially global (macroscopic realism). It must respect the required statistical characteristics of the crowd (density, dispersal, speed…) similar to those of a real crowd. The realism is also local (microscopic realism), i.e. agents should ideally behave like humans or human groups taken as reference, at least in the focus of the considered application. The aim of our research is to propose a generic model to perform crowd behav…
Idea filozofii mądrościowej w lubelskiej szkole filozoficznej
2016
The concept of wisdom philosophy was developed by the representatives of Lublin Philosophical School (S. Swieżawski, M.A. Krąpiec, S. Kamiński)and inspired by French philosophers (E. Gilson and J. Maritain). In his work Science et sagesse (Science and Wisdom) Maritain distinguishes three types of wisdom — mystical, theological and metaphysical. It is the concept of metaphysical wisdom that the thinkers from Lublin philosophical school focused on and developed. Wisdom is the existential position when one understands reality, and is assumed via the philosophical contemplation of being. Wisdom philosophy strives to explain the very fact of being and to know the transcendental attributes of bei…
Effect of natural sea salt on physicochemical and textural properties of low sodium durum wheat bread
2015
Today, the dietary salt intake is considerably higher than the recommendations of the EFSA for good health (3-4 g salt/day). Several initiatives have been undertaken for a reduction in salt intake. The traditional use of sodium chioride (NaCI) fulfils various important rheological, technological and sensory properties in manufacturing of baked goods. However, using NaCI in the production of food has been controversially discussed since a high intake of sodium is associated with hypertension (1). Recently, the Reg (EU) 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods makes it possible to claims on a label 'low sodium/salt', 'very low sodium/salt' and 'sodium free or salt free' for food…
The workers' value of the remaining employment contract duration
2005
We introduce and apply a method for estimating workers' marginal willingness to pay for job attributes employing data on job search activity. Worker's willingness to pay for the remaining duration of the employment contract is derived. We provide evidence that workers attach substantial value to the remaining contract duration. A temporary worker with a remaining contract of six months is willing to pay about 10% of the monthly wage to increase the contract by one month.This discussion paper has resulted in a publication in Economica, 2008, 75(297), 116-39.
Study on the Reputation of the (MASS) Media in Romania
2021
Abstract Part of a bigger research project conducted by Media Reputation Lab (Media REP Lab) on the reputation of media in Europe, the study explores the reputation of media among informed population in Romania. A sample of 100 cases was involved in the online survey taking place in December 2019. The results provide a description of the country’s media reputation (media in general: radio, print, digital and television). For each one of these media, the valuation obtained by each of the reputational attributes (credibility, rigor, impartiality, willingness to rectify) by the informed population would be indicated. Moreover, insights on the knowledge and use, as well as on the reputation (ov…
Towards Action-Oriented User Interface Design
2011
The ultimate goal of user interface design is to develop a product which people can use to reach their goals. By action we normally refer to our attempts to reach certain goals, and this is why it is natural to think user interface design as an activity we engage in when designing tools, instruments or technologies for people to realize their action goals. This paper suggests a novel action-oriented user interface development method that aims to develop a user interface interaction model. This interaction model is based on an organized tree structure composed of node states with relevant usability-related attributes and operations between the nodes. peerReviewed
Quality evaluation of software architecture with application to OpenH.323 protocol
2006
Master's Thesis in Information Technology 3rd October 2006 The requirements towards software systems usually go beyond the correct functionality, the presence of certain quality demands are also very essential for the systems' acceptance by the stakeholders. So quality control and management must be carried out through the whole development process to ensure the implementation of required quality characteristics. This thesis focuses on the quality control of the software architecture. Several approaches for evaluating the architecture are presented. Furthermore the OpenH.323 protocol architecture is evaluated in a case study. That software architecture is evaluated with two approaches: Arch…
Organic food consumption: The relevance of the health attribute
2020
During the last decades, organic food products have become the main sustainable alternative to conventional food consumption. Among the several organic food attributes that consumers recognize in organic food, healthiness has been reported as the primary motivation to buy products certified as organic. The objective of the current study is to assess the relative weight of the health attribute among other recognized organic food attributes. To achieve this aim, a multiple price list (MPL) methodology is adopted to elicit consumers&rsquo
Tourism product/ service attribute influence on overall tourist satisfaction level in Riga
2019
Tourist satisfaction is significant for successful destination marketing as it affects the choice of destination, consumption of tourism products and services as well as the decision to return to the destination and intentions to recommend the destination to other potential tourists. The mutual positive influence of customer satisfaction and loyalty is indisputably proven by empirical research studies carried out in different economic fields and industries, including tourism. The aim of the research was to study the satisfaction level of foreign tourists as consumers with various tourism product attributes in Riga and its influence on overall satisfaction and further consumer behaviour of t…
The impact of ideological positions and personal attributes of candidates in intraparty competition: A study under the Swiss open‐listPRSystem
2022
Intraparty preference voting systems offer different incentives for candidates to cultivate a personal vote, but little is known about how the candidates' policy positions affect their elec-toral success in intraparty competition. This article analyses the effect of candidates' ideological positions and personal attributes on their preference vote share in the 2015 and 2019 Swiss Lower House elections. We used candidate survey data combined with official election statistics. Our findings demon-strate that the ideological distance between candidates' posi-tions and their party's median position is of minor importance for their electoral success when compared to their personal attributes. How…
