Sustainable Working Life in a Swedish Twin Cohort : A Definition Paper with Sample Overview

2021

Background: A unified or consensus definition of “sustainable working life” remains lacking, although studies investigating risk factors for labour market exit are numerous. In this study, we aimed (1) to update the information and to explore a definition of “sustainable working life” via a systematic literature review and (2) to describe the working life trajectories via the prevalence of sickness absence (SA), disability pension (DP), and unemployment in a Swedish twin cohort to provide a sample overview in our Sustainable Working Life-project. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to explore the studies with the search phrase “sustainable working life” in PubMed, PsycInfo…

W sprawie potrzeby uregulowania umowy franczyzy w Polsce

2021

Praca prezentuje w pierwszej kolejności zagadnienia związane z pojęciem umowy franczyzy jako empirycznym typem umowy, jak i teoretyczne zagadnienie problematyki umów nienazwanych. W kontekście treści stosunku prawnego franczyzy zwrócono uwagę na dwie kwestie. Po pierwsze, pomimo braku regulacji umowy franczyzy w polskim prawie cywilnym wpływ na treść stosunku prawnego franczyzy mają przepisy prawa publicznego z zakresu ochrony konkurencji (prawa antymonopolowego). Wpływ ten należy ocenić jako istotny. Ewentualne uregulowanie w prawie cywilnym umowy franczyzy nie będzie oznaczało dopuszczalności pominięcia przy nadawaniu jej konkretnej treści regulacji prawa ochrony konkurencji. Po drugie, t…

NULLITÀ DI PROTEZIONE » E POTERI DEL GIUDICE TRA CORTE DI GIUSTIZIA E SEZIONI UNITE DELLA CORTE

2014

The “nullità di protezione” in the rulings of the European Court of Justice and in the recent judgments of the Joint Sections of the Italian Supreme Court The Italian legislator provides, as a consequence of the unfairness of a term in consumers contracts, the remedy of nullity, which can only occur to the advantage of the consumer, whereby the court has jurisdiction to declare the term void on its own motion. This is the concept of “protective nullity“ (nullità di protezione) adopted in article 36 of the Italian Consumer Code, and framed by the European Court of Justice. It remains unclear, in such a rule especially when read in the framework of Italian law, whether the court is entitled t…

Enseignement et recherche sont inséparables

2020

Les politiques publiques françaises concentrent les moyens de recherche sur quelques “sites”, aux dépens de régions entières, creusant les inégalités entre universités dites “d’élite” ou “de masse”. Mais de nombreux travaux empiriques démontrent l’inefficacité d’une telle concentration des moyens.

Role of post mortem computed tomography in diagnosis of upper cervical fractures in child due to road accident: A case report and literature review

2019

The upper cervical spine has unique anatomical features that distinguish it from the remainder of the cervical spine. Its motion segments make up a large amount of total cervical spine motion and, as a result,predispose it to a unique set of injuries. Cervical spine trauma is a common problem with a wide range of severity from minor ligamentous injury to section of the spinal cord. The use of post mortem CT (PMCT), and the subsequent multi-planar and volume rendering reconstruction techniques can provide non-invasive, objective operator-independent imaging data set that may be further reviewed by other specialists. and can substantially add to forensic examinations of the skeleton, especial…

Nonlinear black-box models for short-term forecasting of air temperature in the town of Palermo

2011

Weather data are crucial to correctly design buildings and their heating and cooling systems and to assess their energy performances. In the intensely urbanized towns the effect of climatic parameters is further emphasized by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, known as the increase in the air temperature of urban areas, compared to the one measured in the extra-urban areas. The analysis of the heat island needs detailed local climate data which can be collected only by a dedicated weather monitoring system. The Department of Energy and Environmental Researches of the University of Palermo (Italy) has built up a weather monitoring system that works 24 hours per day and makes data availa…

Bunker culturel : la régénération du patrimoine militaire urbain à Saint-Nazaire

2011

Au cours des deux dernières décennies Saint-Nazaire a relancé son développement sans se référer nécessairement aux modèles des métropoles européennes. Concentrées autour de la zone portuaire, près de la base sous-marine allemande, les nouvelles opérations urbaines ont contribué à définir un important projet touristique et culturel. La spécificité symbolique et la valorisation du patrimoine militaire ont permis à Saint-Nazaire de montrer que l’identité d’une ville pouvait activer sa croissance.Over the last two decades, the port city of Saint-Nazaire has encouraged urban redevelopment without necessarily following the models suggested by other European cities. An important cultural and touri…

Näkövammaisten apuvälineiden käytettävyys

2015

Näkövammaisille apuvälineet ovat elämää helpottavia, hyödyllisiä, pakollisia, kiusallisiakin mutta välttämättömiä. Ne tarjoavat mahdollisuuden itsenäiseen elämään, harrastamiseen ja työskentelyyn ihmisille, joille se ei ilman olisi mah-dollista. Tutkimuksessa halusin selvittää, millä tasolla näkövammaisten apuvälineiden käytettävyys on tällä hetkellä ja mitä parannettavaa siinä olisi tulevaisuudessa. Tarkoitus oli myös selvittää, mitä apuvälineitä näkövammaiset oikeasti käyttävät. Erityishuomiota tutkimuksessa saivat liikkumisen apuvälineet. Selvittääkseni näitä asioita suoritin käyttäjäkyselyn varsinaiselle käyttäjäryh-mälle. Tämä tehtiin näkövammaisten keskustelufoorumin kautta sähköisest…

Automatic evaluation of information provider reliability and expertise

2013

Published version of an article in the journal: World Wide Web. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11280-013-0249-x Q&A social media have gained a lot of attention during the recent years. People rely on these sites to obtain information due to a number of advantages they offer as compared to conventional sources of knowledge (e.g., asynchronous and convenient access). However, for the same question one may find highly contradicting answers, causing an ambiguity with respect to the correct information. This can be attributed to the presence of unreliable and/or non-expert users. These two attributes (reliability and expertise) significantly affect the quality o…
