Fuzzy logic-decision-making system dedicated to evaluation of logistics project effectiveness
2016
Background: Project effectiveness is synonymous with project success. It is measured or assessed in terms of the degree to which project objectives are achieved. This paper presents an approach to evaluating the effectiveness of logistics projects. The starting point is the analysis of the current state of knowledge in the area of assessing project effectiveness, including logistics projects. The purpose of the study was to identify the critical factors determining the success of logistics projects and develop a model of logistics project effectiveness. Methods: The paper is based on the available recent scientific-theoretical research and publications and on practical studies in 25 enterpr…
Manufacturing export performance and public capital: an analysis by country technology position
2021
The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between public capital and manufacturing export performance. It also aims at investigating whether this relationship depends on the proximity of a country's technology frontier. To achieve this, we adopted a methodology that estimates the elasticities of public capital as a non-rival factor in a model that considers factor intensity as a mechanism of industrial development. We use an interaction model with panel data from 1999 to 2014 across 35 advanced and less advanced countries. Our results show that in countries far from the technology frontier, public capital accumulation is an element of industrial development as opposed to co…
The article a(n) in English quantifying expressions: A default marker of cardinality
2020
Certain English quantificational expressions feature what appears to be an indefinite article, e.g. 'a bunch, a few, a hundred'. These can be divided into three types of quantifying expressions: pseudopartitives ('a lot, a bunch, a ton'), article-requiring quantifiers ('a few, a couple, a hundred'), and article-free quantifiers ('three, many, several'); article-free quantifiers have an article under certain circumstances, e.g. modification by an adjective ('a surprising 30 …'). While standard analyses would take the article in these expressions to be a D head, it is argued here that the article is not in D, nor is it singular or count, as evidenced by its (lack of an) interaction with verba…
Chronic pain affects the whole person--a phenomenological study.
2014
The aim of this qualitative study was to explore participants' perspectives on the effects of chronic pain on the psychophysical unity.Thirty-four chronic pain outpatients were interviewed, and the transcribed interviews were analysed with Giorgi's four-phase phenomenological method. The mean age of the participants was 48 years, and 19 of them were women. For 21 of the participants, the pain duration was more than 5 years, and most had degenerative spinal pain.The results of this whole research project indicated that the phenomenon chronic pain consisted of four essential themes: Pain affects the whole person, invisibility, negativity, and dominance of pain. This study concentrates only on…
Mafia e psicoterapia
2012
Il lavoro prende le mosse dal lavoro di Girolamo Lo Verso “La mafia in psicoterapia”, un volume che racchiudere quasi vent’anni di studi sulla psicologia del fenomeno mafioso e consente al lettore di far luce su un ambito poco conosciuto, sia a livello nazionale che internazionale, quale quello relativo alla relazione terapeutica con pazienti appartenenti a famiglie mafiose, e di comprendere le gravi ricadute psichiche che la mafia provoca sia nei suoi appartenenti, sia in coloro che, a vario titolo, entrano in contatto con essa (cittadini, vittime, comunità…). Di particolare rilievo, oltre alla presentazione delle ricerche portate avanti negli anni, risulta essere l’esposizione di numerosi…
Estar al otro lado de la mesa. Profesionales de los servicios públicos de empleo ante los dilemas de la activación laboral
2019
Under the paradigm of activation, the Public Employment Services has been reshaped by two levels of contractualization. On one hand, the collaboration of the administration with a network of agents on the programme scheme that make up the active policies of employment. On the other hand, the unemployed person?s access to a compartmentalized offer of services and individually taking responsibility for finding work. This double contractualization reveals redefinition of lowering public responsibility faced with the problem of unemployment that this activation supposes. This paper analyses how this redesign has an impact on how professionals serve the unemployed population. This lays bare, in …

Muistisairauden aiheuttamat käyttäytymisen muutokset ja parisuhteen vastavuoroisuus
2022
Muistisairauksiin usein liittyvät kognitiiviset ja persoonallisuuden muutokset sekä itseilmaisun vaikeudet saattavat ilmetä käyttäytymisen muutoksina. Puoliso ja muut läheiset kohtaavat nämä muutokset ensimmäisinä. Laadullisessa tutkimuksessamme selvitimme, millaisissa tilanteissa muistisairauden aiheuttamia ongelmallisina ja kielteisinä koettuja käyttäytymisen muutoksia ilmaantuu, ja miten ne vaikuttavat parisuhteen vastavuoroisuuteen. Käyttäytymisen muutoksista käytetään termiä ’käytösoireet’. Aineiston analyysissä hyödynsimme sosiaalisen vaihdon teoriaa. Käyttäytymisen muutokset tulivat puheeksi vain niissä haastatteluissa, joissa muistisairautta sairastava puoliso oli aviomies. Vaikka p…
Personal Social Networks of Community-Dwelling Oldest Old During the Covid-19 Pandemic—A Qualitative Study
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related restrictions have affected the everyday life of older people. Advanced age is a significant predisposing factor for a more severe COVID-19 infection, increasing the risk for hospitalization and mortality. Even though restrictions have been, thus, well-grounded, they may also have had detrimental effects on the social well-being of older people. Personal networks and social activity are known protective factors against the premature decline in health and functioning, and it is widely acknowledged that social isolation increases feelings of loneliness, poor quality of life, and even the risk for diseases and disabilities among older adults. This qualitati…
