Family and work-related risk factors in children's social–emotional well-being and parent–educator cooperation in flexibly scheduled early childhood …
2023
Non-standard work schedules (NSWS) have become typical, but their associations with childcare arrangements and children's well-being are unknown. This study explores how risk factors are associated with the social–emotional well-being of girls and boys using flexibly scheduled early childhood education and care. Furthermore, the study investigates whether well-functioning cooperation between parents and educators buffers the negative effects of the risk factors. This study, which is a part of a larger survey carried out in three European countries, reports Finnish parents' (N = 146) perspectives. The results showed that high parental stress was associated with low child well-being. Strong p…
Cross-border integration of universities as a possible research topic in border studies
2021
The text deals with the cross-border cooperation of universities as a possible new research topic in border studies. We identified two important associations of universities operating in border areas in the EU core and two associations gathering universities from Czech, Polish and Slovak areas. Then we tried to identify the areas in which these universities cooperate. It turned out that the principal difference is in a significantly higher number of joint study programs. This has probably a link to the high cross-border integration in the EU core. We believe that the topic is promising and deserves much higher attention, as it probably points at new and not really exploited cross-border int…
Assortment, but not knowledge of assortment, affects cooperation and individual success in human groups
2017
The success or failure of human collective action often depends on the cooperation tendencies of individuals in groups, and on the information that individuals have about each other's cooperativeness. However, it is unclear whether these two factors have an interactive effect on cooperation dynamics. Using a decision-making experiment, we confirm that groups comprising individuals with higher cooperation tendencies cooperate at a higher level than groups comprising individuals with low cooperation tendencies. Moreover, assorting individuals with similar cooperation tendency together affected behaviour so that the most cooperative individuals tended to cooperate more and the least cooperativ…
The Social Life of Viruses
2021
Despite their simplicity, viruses exhibit certain types of social interactions. Situations in which a given virus achieves higher fitness in combination with other members of the viral population have been described at the level of transmission, replication, suppression of host immune responses, and host killing, enabling the evolution of viral cooperation. Although cellular coinfection with multiple viral particles is the typical playground for these interactions, cooperation between viruses infecting different cells is also established through cellular and viral-encoded communication systems. In general, the stability of cooperation is compromised by cheater genotypes, as best exemplified…
Is It Easy to Synchronize Our Minds When We Are Forced to Cooperate?
2019
There is increasing scientific interest in elucidating the biological mechanisms underlying cooperative behaviors. Humans have developed a high degree of complexity in their cooperativity, which has been defined as hyper-cooperativity. An interesting biological marker to study how two individuals are emotionally linked when they cooperate is their psychophysiological synchronization (the overlapping of signals as indicators of Autonomous Nervous System activation). Hence, the main aim of this study was to explore participants&rsquo
Samarbeid i hjertestansteam : en kvalitativ studie om intensivsyke- pleieres erfaringer fra samarbeid i hjertestansteam under resuscitering
2014
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Project backround: Several areas in health care have recently seen an increased focus on the importance of cooperation. In its guidelines from 2010, The American Heart Association (AHA) places increased importance on non-technical skills in the training of personnel who perform advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). The Better And Systematic Team Foundation (BEST), have in recent years contributed to a growing focus on cooperation in trauma teams. However, in Norway, there is little research directly linked to the issue of cooperation in Norwegian cardiac arrest teams. Aim:The aim of this study is to gain knowledge about the exper…
Zależności partnerskiej współpracy i poziomu dojrzałości łańcucha dostaw w warunkach globalizacji
2018
W artykule podjęto rozważania na temat zależności między współpracą partnerską a poziomem dojrzałości łańcucha dostaw w warunkach globalizacji. Poziom dojrzałości łańcucha dostaw wzięto pod uwagę jako czynnik determinujący nawiązanie partnerskiej współpracy pomiędzy ogniwami łańcucha dostaw. W konsekwencji podjęto próbę zidentyfikowania korzyści i zagrożeń dla poszczególnych uczestników łańcucha dostaw. Artykuł składa się z pięciu części. Pierwsza część to wprowadzenie. Druga dotyczy dojrzałości łańcucha dostaw, trzecia obejmuje wyjaśnienie znaczenia partnerskiej współpracy, a w czwartej podjęto próbę wskazania przesłanek zaistnienia partnerskiej współpracy w łańcuchu dostaw przez pryzmat d…
Joint Border of Ukraine and the European Union: Political and Legal Aspects of Cooperation in the Field of Integrated Border Management
2020
W artykule przeanalizowano polityczne i prawne aspekty oraz dynamikę stosunków Ukrainy z UE i jej państwami członkowskimi w zakresie zintegrowanego zarządzania granicami w celu usprawnienia współpracy międzyagencyjnej i międzynarodowej, ustanowienia wspólnej kontroli celnej i przejść granicznych, organizacji wspólnych patroli, zwiększenia bezpieczeństwa i otwartości granic państwowych oraz poprawy ich funkcji integracyjnej. Zbadano zagadnienia związane ze stworzeniem i modernizacją przejść granicznych, wprowadzaniem europejskich standardów ochrony granic, kontroli celnej i innych rodzajów kontroli na granicy państwowej Ukrainy i krajów UE. Zarysowano perspektywy przystąpienia Ukrainy do sys…
We are “not” too (young/old) to collaborate : Prominent Key Barriers to Intergenerational Innovation
2019
In this study, we analyzed the barriers to technology-supported intergenerational innovation to understand better how young and old can collaborate towards global innovations. Researchers in different disciplines have already identified various barriers to intergenerational collaboration. However, barriers are changing depending on the context of collaboration, and difficulties still exist to support intergenerational innovation in global settings. Therefore, we investigated the barriers that emerge when people work with someone decades older or younger. The results of our study have shown what barriers are influenced by age, what barriers exist only for senior and younger adults. The study…
Administration of care to older patients in transition from hospital to home care services: Home nursing leaders' experiences
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare. Also available from the Publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/JMDH.S51947 Open access Background: Older persons in transition between hospital and home care services are in a particularly vulnerable situation and risk unfortunate consequences caused by organizational inefficiency. The purpose of the study reported here was to elucidate how home nursing leaders experience the administration of care to older people in transition from hospital to their own homes. Methods: A qualitative study design was used. Ten home nursing leaders in two municipalities in southern Norway participated in individual inte…
