Effectiveness of a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program for adolescent career preparation : A randomized controlled trial
2021
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) programs have rarely been used as tools for promoting adolescents' career preparation. This randomized controlled trial examined the possibility to promote the career preparation of Finnish ninth-grade adolescents (n = 249, 49% females) with a web-based five-week ACT-based online intervention program. Participants were randomly assigned to three conditions, of which two groups received an iACT including support via SMS (iACTface: iACT+two face-to-face sessions; only iACT: iACT with no face-to-face sessions) and the third (control) group received no treatment. The results showed that career-related insecurity decreased as a result of the intervention i…

Intellectual capital reporting in the non-profit sector. A case study analysis

The authors selected ANPAS Piemonte as it is, to the b…
Variación y fijeza en la fraseología castellana medieval. Locuciones prepositivas complejas en la prosa sapiencial castellana (Siglos XIII-XV)
2015
Como resultado del notable auge que en los últimos años está experimentando la Fraseología histórica, esta tesis estudia el origen y la consolidación de aquellas locuciones castellanas que por resultar hoy demasiado abstrusas no favorecen su incorporación a la sintaxis. Para distinguir los usos locucionales prepositivos del castellano medieval del repertorio de locuciones prepositivas plenamente consolidadas en la fraseología del español actual, hemos designado a las primeras como Formas locucionales prepositivas (FLP), pues aun no habiendo sobrevivido muchas de ellas hasta la actualidad, manifiestan en su génesis y desarrollo histórico cierta potencialidad locucional, en el sentido de que …
Entrepreneurs (novices vs. experts) and investors: Interaction and rationality dynamics (effectual vs. causal)
2019
The paper studies the mechanisms that govern the interactions between the entrepreneur (novice or expert) and the specific investors of emerging firms (business angels (BAs) and venture-capital firms (VCs)). Combining both literatures on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial finance, our aim is to understand if the rationalities of these three actors help them or not to interact, and, to study how they influence each other during the firm's growth. In order to do so, we undertake two processual case studies. Our results show that effectual rationality underlines the interaction between the entrepreneur and the BAs at the creation of the firm, whilst causal rationality is helpful in the searc…
Imaging evaluation of cardiac stem cells transplantation
2012
Cardiovascular Disease is the number one cause of death in the World. Although advances in treatment and intervention have reduced the mortality rate in patients with coronary artery disease, the number of patients with refractory myocardial ischemia and congestive heart failure is rapidly increasing. “Cellular therapy” represents an important new approach in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and the scientific community needs to establish not only the appropriate type and timing of cellular administration but also the diagnostic gold standard to better enable the study of subjects before and after cellular therapy
The use of bark of Scots Pine in environmental impact assessment of cement and lime dust

Analizie poddano korę sosny zwyczajnej znajdującej się pod presją zanieczyszczeń alkalicznych cementowni Chełm. Na podstawie wodnych wyciągów z kory określono zasięg oddziaływania pyłów cementowo-wapienniczych na środowisko. Zależności pomiędzy pHH2O kory a odległością od źródła emisji pyłów badano metodą analizy regresji i korelacji liniowej. Wyniki badań odnoszono do wyników uzyskanych na leśnej powierzchni kontrolnej - wolnej od zanieczyszczeń alkalicznych. W miarę oddalania od źródła zanieczyszczeń opad pyłów cementowo-wapienniczych obniża się, co jest zrozumiałe, i znajduje potwierdzenie w zmiennych wartościach pHH2O kory sosny. Najsilniej odnotowano presję w kierunku NE, ES i SW, gdzi…
Money for the Issuer: Liability or Equity?
2021
Abstract This study analyzes the nature of money through the lens of the international principles of accounting and lays the foundations of what it calls the accounting view of money (AVM). Using international accounting principles, the AVM argues that the fiat monies issued by the state (typically, cash, banknotes, and central bank money) are not debt and that in fractional reserve regimes, only a share of commercial bank money can be regarded as debt. The AVM argues, instead, that state monies and the nondebt share of commercial bank money are net wealth of their holders and net worth (equity) of their issuers and determines how the seigniorage associated with money issuance should be acc…

Les études hédoniques soutiennent-elles une valeur verte élevée dans le bâtiment ? Une réponse par la méta-analyse
2018
International audience; La place majeure occupée par le secteur du bâtiment dans la consommation d'énergie (40%) et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (1/3 des émissions) explique le développement du débat scientifique axé sur la réduction de l'impact environnemental du bâtit et sur ses leviers. Ces dernières années ont notamment vu croitre une littérature considérable relative à la disposition à payer du public pour les bâtiments « verts » labélisés par des écolabels, cette « valeur verte » étant estimée dans la grande majorité des études via des modèles hédoniques. Dans cet article, nous proposons d'offrir une synthèse de ces résultats dans le cadre d'une méta-analyse portant sur plus …
