Revitalization actions as a tool to shape a sustainable city (A case study of Opole voivodship, Poland)

2016

Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja wpływu działań rewitalizacyjnych w odniesieniu do zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju. Analizę podjętych inicjatyw o charakterze rewitalizacyjnym przeprowadzono w oparciu o miasta w województwie opolskim. Pierwsza część artykułu jest poświęcona teorii zrównoważonego miasta i znaczenia procesów ożywienia miasta. Kolejna część koncentruje się na odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: czy zmiany w ramach każdego podjętego działania rewitalizacyjnego były związane ze sferą gospodarczą, społeczną i środowiskową? i czy skutecznie kształtowały miasto w sposób zrównoważony? Ponadto, starano się określić czy efekty zrealizowanych działań mają charakter trwały w myśl koncepcji …

Preliminary Evaluation of Plasmix Compound from Plastics Packaging Waste for Reuse in Bituminous Pavements

2021

Finding an appropriate technical solution for reusing waste plastics is crucial for creating a circular plastic economy. Although mechanical recycling is the best option for recycling post-consumer plastics, some heterogeneous mixed plastics cannot be recycled to produce secondary material due to their very low properties. In this case, alternative routes should be considered in order to limit their disposal as much as possible. Therefore, in order to solve the environmental problems in the landfills of plastic waste recycling, and to improve the mechanical performance of bitumen for road pavement, the reuse of these post-consumer plastic wastes are preliminarily evaluated for the modificat…

Addressing Patients Mobility through a Dynamic Performance Management perspective: the case of Sicily

Al giorno d'oggi molte regioni italiane sperimentano il fenomeno della mobilità sanitaria passiva, consistente nella tendenza dei loro residenti a rivolgersi ad altri sistemi sanitari regionali, spesso caratterizzati da miglior reputazione, per ricevere assistenza sanitaria. Poiché il Servizio Sanitario Italiano (SSN) è pubblico e regionalizzato, ogni governo regionale ha la responsabilità di prestare assistenza sanitaria ai propri residenti, garantendo al contempo ad ogni cittadino la libertà di essere curato fuori dalla propria giurisdizione, e compensando le regioni di destinazione per i servizi sanitari resi ai non residenti. Nonostante tale diritto di scelta sia un punto di forza del S…

Język polski - ojczysty nieobcy czy obcy? Wyzwania edukacji językowej w czasach ponowoczesnych

2016

W artykule podjęty został temat rangi szkolnego nauczania języka polskiego jako ojczystego na tle uczenia języków obcych. Stwierdzono, że nie tylko w polityce językowo-edukacyjnej państwa polskiego, ale także w przekonaniach społecznych i działaniach uczelni wyższych widoczne jest preferowanie języków obcych i niedoszacowanie potrzeb rozwijania kompetencji językowej i komunikacyjnej w zakresie języka polskiego. Niewielka też jest społeczna świadomość znaczenia dobrego władania językiem ojczystym. O konieczności doszacowania wagi rozwijania i doskonalenia sprawności językowo-komunikacyjnych w języku ojczystym świadczą zmiany kulturowe dokonujące się we współczesnym świecie, które obniżają po…

Szkoły stowarzyszeniowe w perspektywie lokalnej polityki oświatowej gmin

2019

Fundamentalnym osiągnięciem decentralizacyjnej polityki państwa w latach 90. XX w. był powrót oświaty do wymiaru lokalnego. Gminy przejęły odpowiedzialność za zakładanie, likwidowanie i przekształcanie szkół na swoim terenie. Jest to najważniejsze ich zadanie w kreowaniu lokalnej polityki oświatowej. Uwarunkowania demograficzne ostatnich lat, niż demograficzny, spadek liczby uczniów w szkołach oraz wzrastające koszty utrzymania placówek oświatowych to główne determinanty przekazywania przez gminy szkół lokalnym stowarzyszeniom

Information Integration, Coordination Failures, and Quality of Prescribing

2020

Poor information flows hamper coordination, potentially leading to suboptimal decisions in health care. We examine the effects of a nationwide policy of information integration on the quality of prescribing. We use the rollout of an electronic prescribing system in Finland and prescription-level administrative data. We find no effect on the probability of co-prescribing harmful drug combinations in urban regions. In rural regions, this probability reduces substantially, by 35 percent. The effect is driven by prescriptions from unspecialized physicians and from multiple physicians. Improving the local information environment thus enhances coordination and narrows differences in the quality o…

Employees’ adherence to information security policies: An exploratory field study

2014

The key threat to information security comes from employees who do not comply with information security policies. We developed a new multi-theory based model that explained employees' adherence to security policies. The paradigm combines elements from the Protection Motivation Theory, the Theory of Reasoned Action, and the Cognitive Evaluation Theory. We validated the model by using a sample of 669 responses from four corporations in Finland. The SEM-based results showed that perceived severity of potential information security threats, employees' belief as to whether they can apply and adhere to information security policies, perceived vulnerability to potential security threats, employees…

Spatially dynamic forest management to sustain biodiversity and economic returns.

2014

Production of marketed commodities and protection of biodiversity in natural systems often conflict and thus the continuously expanding human needs for more goods and benefits from global ecosystems urgently calls for strategies to resolve this conflict. In this paper, we addressed what is the potential of a forest landscape to simultaneously produce habitats for species and economic returns, and how the conflict between habitat availability and timber production varies among taxa. Secondly, we aimed at revealing an optimal combination of management regimes that maximizes habitat availability for given levels of economic returns. We used multi-objective optimization tools to analyze data fr…

Issues in e-learning quality assurance

2011

As a decisive factor, the future of any discipline rests on quality, and e-learning is no exception. Due to its multidisciplinary nature, the contribution from various fields such as education, technology, and economy are needed to achieve quality, thereby creating rich learning experience. Undertaking such a task is challenging according to Pawlowski and Ehler (2006) because "it is necessary to find a valid perspective and definition of quality. This requires an answer to the question for which processes of educational scenario quality development has to be carried out, which quality and according to which perspective it is defined." Being diverse and situational/context dependent, there s…

Government policy failure in public support for research and development

2014

peer-reviewed Promoting Research and Development (R&D) and innovative activity is a key element of the EU Lisbon Agenda and is seen as playing a central part in stimulating economic development. In this paper we argue that, even allowing for benevolent policy-makers, informational asymmetries can lead to a misallocation of public support for R&D, hence government policy failure, with the potential to exacerbate preexisting market failures. Initially, we explore alternative allocation mechanisms for public support, which can help to minimize the scale of these government policy failures. Of these mechanisms (grants, tax credits, or allocation rules based on past performance), our results sug…
