Structure and dielectric breakdown strength of nano calcium carbonate/polypropylene composites
2013
Nanodielectrics, a 21st-century phenomena, is envisioned to be the answer for material challenges in progressive high-voltage technology. It is well known that the proper dispersion of nanoparticles plays a key role in improving the dielectric properties of a material, but to understand where changes in the properties of a material originate, it is also essential to reveal the multiscale structure of the material. In this study, the dielectric permittivity, breakdown strength, and structure of nano calcium carbonate (nano-CaCO3)/polypropylene composites with 1.8-8.1 wt % doping were characterized systematically. The combined results from transmission electron microscopy, Raman microscopy, a…
A microsimulation calibration methodology based on speed-density relationships for freeways
2014
This paper describes the calibration methodology based on speed-density relationships in the microsimulation calibration process, stated that they represent the traffic flow phenomenon in a wide range of operational conditions and well summarize all the information that may be collected on field (or following a run of the microsimulation model) on two of the three key variables of traffic flow. The matching of speed-density relationships from field and simulation was evaluated using statistical analysis as technique of pattern recognition. A test freeway segment under uncongested traffic conditions was selected as case study; based on traffic data observed at A22 Brenner Freeway, Italy, sta…
From job crafting to home crafting: A daily diary study among six European countries
2019
The actions that individuals take to proactively craft their jobs are important to help create more meaningful and personally enriching work experiences. But do these proactive behaviors have implications beyond working life? Inspired by the suggestion that individuals aim for a meaningful life we examine whether on days when individuals craft their jobs, they are more likely to craft non-work activities. It also seems likely that characteristics of the home environment moderate these cross-domain relationships. We suggest that crafting crosses domains particularly when individuals gain resources through high autonomy and high workload at home. We partly supported our model through a daily…

Wokół problemu wznowienia obrad IV Forum Polsko - Niemieckiego w listopadzie 1985 roku
2018
Forum polsko - niemieckie powołane do życia w 1976 roku stało się płaszczyzną rozmów i konsultacji bilateralnych. Po wprowadzeniu stanu wojennego jego prace zawieszono. Z uwagi na znaczenie Forum podjęto, zarówno w PRL, jak i w RFN, wiele działań mających na celu zniwelowanie niekorzystnych wypowiedzi stojących na przeszkodzie przywróceniu jego prac. Dotyczyło to szczególnie wypowiedzi polityków chadeckich w sp[rawie granicy polsko - niemieckiej i mniejszości niemieckiej w Polsce czy braku zgody na udział w Forum przedstawicieli koncesjonowanych polskich związków zawodowych. Natomiast strona polska zgodziła się przede wszystkim na udział w pracach Forum polityków niemieckich związanych z kr…
International negotiations in the context of the evolution of international relations: theoretical assumptions and observations
2015
The article considers the importance of international negotiations in the context of changes that have been occurring in international relations, especially after the First World War. The article is divided into four sections that show qualitative changes in the international negotiations in the context of changes which indicate progress in the development and deepening of international relations. In the first chapter, I discuss international opportunities that favor the intensification of international negotiations. The second chapter discusses the actors of international negotiations, indicating that with the evolution of international relations, there expanded the circle of influential p…
IPE scholarship about Southeast Asia : Theories of development and state-market-society relations
2020
Contemporary Southeast Asia is a diverse region that is fully integrated into the world economy. Its eleven constituent countries are distinct with unique historical, political, economic, and cultural configurations – as such, they develop unevenly within, and respond accordingly to, the evolution of the global capitalist system. This chapter provides a survey of literatures, themes and debates that have significantly contributed to the study of Southeast Asia from the discipline of international political economy (IPE). It shows how specific IPE scholarship about Southeast Asia since the 1950s have been framed within the general theories of development (i.e., modernization and dependency) …
Brand social representations: strategic perspectives for a fitness club
2009
International audience; The aim of this study was to identify an accurate tool to enable fitness club managers to discover those opinions or stereotypes which represent obstacles to joining their organisations. Starting with brand image, the analysis then considered social representations as relevant constructs for apprehending these opinions or prejudices. The use of a word association task and the model of basic cognitive schemes (Rouquette, 1990; 1994) provided access to the salient elements of the social representations of a particular sport brand and the way they are structured. The procedure combining these two stages represented a diagnostic tool for identifying the attractive and un…
