Semantic place recognition for context aware services
2012
Extracting the meaning of the most significant places, which are frequently visited by a mobile user, is a relevant problem in mobile computing. Predicting semantic meaning of such places is useful in many areas. The problem of place semantic annotation of a user location can be challenging for service providers. Awareness of user activities is very important for development of personalized applications, which can be used in health care systems, living systems, etc. Predicting location of mobile users not only enables development of high quality location-based services and applications, but also improves resource reservation in wireless networks. In this research several solutions for seman…
Discursive Strategies to Negotiate Power Relations in Disability Services Client Juries
2020
Collaboration with clients is an efficient way to develop social services. To strengthen the possibilities for clients to influence services, client juries are established. However, collaboration in the juries is perceived as difficult because of the power imbalance inherent in the client–social worker relationship. The aim of this study was to examine how the participants negotiated power relations in client jury meetings. The data consisted of four observed disability services client jury meetings. Analysis was performed using action-implicative discourse analysis, which aims to define different communicative problems, interactional strategies, and situated ideals of communicative practic…
Managing a boreal forest landscape for providing timber, storing and sequestering carbon
2015
Human well-being highly depends on ecosystem services and this dependence is expected to increase in the future with increasing population and economic growth. Studies that investigate trade-offs between ecosystem services are urgently needed for informing policy-makers. We examine the trade-offs between a provisioning (revenues from timber selling) and regulating (carbon storage and sequestration) ecosystem services among seven alternative forest management regimes in a large boreal forest production landscape. First, we estimate the potential of the landscape to produce harvest revenues and store/sequester carbon across a 50-year time period. Then, we identify conflicts between harvest re…

Co-produzione di valore nei servizi museali e performance multidimensionali: un approccio dinamico a supporto del management culturale
2021
Contesto della ricerca: nei piccoli centri urbani la co-produzione di servizi museali può essere una leva per la generazione di valore pubblico. Obiettivi del paper: lo scritto mira ad illustrare come un approccio multidimensionale di performance governance sia in grado di offrire una prospettiva sistemica per l’identificazione degli outcome gestionali, organizzativi e di comunità nonché di evidenziare leve per il miglioramento dei processi di generazione di valore nei musei e a beneficio della comunità. Metodologia: dapprima si è proceduto alla revisione della letteratura sul tema della co-produzione di servizi pubblici. Per analizzare le performance di tali contesti collaborativi si è cos…
Polygenic association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder liability and cognitive impairments.
2022
AbstractBackgroundA recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified 12 independent loci significantly associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Polygenic risk scores (PRS), derived from the GWAS, can be used to assess genetic overlap between ADHD and other traits. Using ADHD samples from several international sites, we derived PRS for ADHD from the recent GWAS to test whether genetic variants that contribute to ADHD also influence two cognitive functions that show strong association with ADHD: attention regulation and response inhibition, captured by reaction time variability (RTV) and commission errors (CE).MethodsThe discovery GWAS included 19 099 ADHD cases …
Collectivités et prestataires de services : enquête exploratoire pour la collecte des déchets ménagers
2006
Private management of local waste has been scarcely studied although this question shows an original technico-institutionnal pattern in the field of local urban management. Under the rule of the “Code des marchés publics”, arrangements are made on a pluriannual basis. Such a legal framework is supposed to imply competitive procedure and thus to strengthen the decision making process of local authorities. Yet, the actual control of public authorities over this relationship is put under question. This article – based on a number of empirical studies — deals with this matter. It reveals what is at stake by studying closely the actual process of a contract between a local authority and a firm.
Implantación de un procedimiento para la atención de menores en situación de riesgo en el municipio de Gandia: 'Un reto para la consecución de Buenas…
2011
El marco jurídico vigente en materia de protección de menores define las competencias de los Servicios Sociales Municipales en la prevención, detección e intervención en todos aquellos casos en que existan menores de 18 años, que se encuentren en situación de Dificultad Social (riesgo leve), Desprotección (riesgo moderado, grave y desamparo) y/o Conflicto Social. La práctica diaria y la complejidad en la atención al usuario y/o familia, hacen necesaria la elaboración de circuitos y el desarrollo secuencial del proceso que se pretende llevar a cabo desde cualquier servicio o programa. Por lo tanto, el manual de procedimiento de atención a menores en situación de riesgo consiste en un documen…
Accessibilité aux commerces, service et aménités vertes et de loisirs dans un modèle fractal d'urbanisation : le cas du Luxembourg
2012
International audience; L'objectif de cette communication est de présenter quelques éléments de réflexion concernant l'accessibilité aux commerces et services dans un modèle de croissance résidentielle. Ces travaux sont menés dans le but de fournir des entrées à la simulation de scénarios d'extensions urbaines. Le terrain d'application de ce travail est le Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, où le développement pavillonnaire périurbain s'accompagne d'une forte dépendance automobile (Dupuy, 1995 ; pour le cas luxembourgeois cf. Petit, 2009). Pour endiguer ce processus, le Ministère des Transports ambitionne une part modale de 25% en transports en commun à l'horizon 2020 (Plan Sectoriel des Transports…
Pour une nouvelle planification hospitalière (une estimation des besoins hospitaliers en Bourgogne)
1998
Alors que l'approche institutionnelle de la planification sanitaire cible l'évolution du besoin en soins hospitaliers, c'est à dire en inputs, l'approchepopulationnelle part du besoin de santé global de la population, dont la satisfaction constitue l'output du processus de soins. La modélisation présentée dans cet article procède d'une telle logique populationnelle. Elle cherche à estimer le nombre de lits hospitaliers nécessaires et suffisants pour couvrir l'ensemble des besoins de la population d'une zone donnée, à partir des caractéristiques démographiques et des modes de recours à l'hospitalisation.La détermination des besoins par zone est susceptible d'entraîner une nouvelle allocation…
