In this regard, a two-step process was used in developing the traffic forecasting model: (1) Identifying the proper regression model for traffic estimation based on the number of aircraft departures, and (2) Forecasting the number of aircraft de…
The Route Development Strategies of Romanian Airports: A Key Challenge in Modern Aviation
2018
Airport route development can be defined as a complex process carried out by airports, encouraging airlines to launch new routes or increase frequencies on already served destinations. The deregulated aviation environment helped airports to find new and innovative ways to compete directly with each other for a limited airline capacity, engaging with airlines and proving the airport route development strategy and airline needs meet at a certain point.

Työn ominaisuuksien merkitys työn ja yksityiselämän välisen rajan hallinnassa
2019
Työn ja yksityiselämän välinen raja on nykyään monissa ammateissa häilyvä, koska työtä ei enää säätele aika ja paikka samassa määrin kuin ennen. Tässä tutkimuksessa etsitään vastausta kahteen pääkysymykseen. Ensinnäkin, millaisia tyylejä yksilöillä on hallita työn ja yksityiselämän välistä rajaa, kun huomioidaan sekä työasioiden kulkeutuminen yksityiselämään että yksityiselämän asioiden kulkeutuminen työhön? Toiseksi, määrittävätkö työn sisältämät vaatimukset ja voimavarat työn ja yksityiselämän rajanhallinnan tyylejä? Tutkimuksemme aineisto on kerätty keväällä 2013 verkkokyselyllä, johon osallistui 1106 eri ammattialoilla työskentelevää työntekijää. Aineistosta löytyi viisi työn ja yksityi…
The Efficiency of Ambulatory Medical Services. Case Study - The Integrated Ambulatory Units of the Psychiatric Hospital “Dr. Gheorghe Preda” Sibiu
2017
Healthcare costs are an important issue for developed countries, focusing on accessibility, the quality of service and financial efficiency. The global direction of health insurance systems is to resolve the case through primary care, ambulatory and day hospital care. Hospitalizations need to be reduced.

Efforts have been made to develop ambulances and service accessibility, to capitalize on benefits and to provide quality to patients. Although the number of services rendered significantly increased, in psychiatry there is an increase in the nu…

Heijastavatko työn ja perheen yhteensovittamisen kokemukset yksilön elämänarvoja?
2014
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin yksilön elämänarvojen yhteyttä työn ja perheen välisen ristiriidan ja rikastavuuden kokemuksiin. Analyysit perustuivat 50-vuotiaisiin Lapsesta aikuiseksi - pitkittäistutkimuksen osanottajiin (n = 156, 53 % miehiä). Schwartzin (1992) menetelmällä tarkastellut elämänarvot olivat hyväntahtoisuus, universalismi, turvallisuus, yhdenmukaisuus, hedonismi, itseohjautuvuus, suoriutuminen, stimulaatio, traditiot ja valta. Suoriutuminen ja universalismi olivat myönteisesti yhteydessä sekä työn ja perheen välisen ristiriidan että rikastavuuden kokemuksiin. Sen sijaan stimulaatio oli myönteisesti yhteydessä vain ristiriidan ja yhdenmukaisuus vain rikastavuuden kokemuksi…

Haptic Visuality and Film Narration. Mapping New Women’s Cinema in Spain
2020
There is a trend in female film production in the 21st century in the context of Spain towards a type of cinema that we could classify as haptic. It is a mode of representation concerned with multisensory expression in film images. In this article, we shall study this haptic visuality in the works of four filmmakers: Isabel Coixet, Paula Ortiz, Mar Coll and Carla Simón, whose films in this century exemplify the trend. The method chosen is textual analysis, which will provide us with the necessary tools to study matters concerning representation (framing), narration (nuclei and catalysis) and communication (spectatorial subject). These three analytical categories together will enable us to s…
