Rehearsing to control depressive symptoms through a behavior change support system
2013
Depressive symptoms are generally coupled with distress and high treatment costs. We present our on-going research on a Web-based behavior change support system, which utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as a rehearsal tool. We present a summarized account of the research setting, studied persuasive software features, and a brief account of initial data analysis. Our work presents implications on design interventions for mental well-being and human-computer interaction.
ANALYSIS OF CORRELATION BETWEEN TAX REVENUES AND OTHER ECONOMIC INDICATORS IN EUROPEAN UNION MEMBER STATES
2014
This paper aims to identify the presence or absence of a connection between some factors that influence the evolution of tax revenue in the EU and to quantify its intensity using Pearson correlation coefficient. Testing the bivariate correlation between tax revenues and a range of 15 causal factors lead to a division of variables that determine the evolution of tax revenues into three categories: significant factors such as GDP, net national income per capita, gross added value, gross salary, current account balance, less significant factors of tax revenue such as the employment rate, public expenditures, public debt, and foreign direct investment, and non-factors of tax revenues such as un…
Stabilise, balance and adjust : Framing the early years transitions of children whose parents work non‐standard hours
2022
This study examined talk by parents about the early years transitions of their children (n = 7) in the context of parental non-standard working hours and Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) services. Parents were interviewed at three time points: when their child was aged one, four, five or six years (a total of 21 interviews). The third interview was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article focuses on the children's ECEC transitions and the interpretative frames used by parents when talking about their work and childcare. The frames used by the parents to discuss the children's transitions were stabilising the children's lives, balancing between staying at home an…
Physical activity recommendations for early childhood : an international analysis of then different countries current national policies and practices…
2019
During the last two decades there have been growing interests on recommendations for children’s physical activity. The World Health Organization (WHO) launched the first global international recommendations for children in 2010, focusing on children and youth aged 5-17-year olds. The recommendations were based on the dose-response relationship between the frequency, duration, intensity, type and amount of physical activity needed for prevention of non-communicable diseases. Until 2019, there was a gap in the recommendations, as the WHO did not offer global recommendations for those children under the age of 5 (early years). The new recent guidelines (WHO, 2019) now offer a focused recommend…

2021
The essay examines the role of the agreement as a tool for managing property relationships in crossborder marriages and registered partnerships, in light of EU Regulations 1103 and 1104 of 2016, on the property regimes of international married or registered couples.

The law governing the matrimonial property regimes, or the property consequences of registered partnerships, has universal scope. This agreement in the form envisaged, which is backed by the need for legal certainty and predictability of the applicable rules, means that the spouses, in family problems which ha…
Łzy rycerza. O znaczeniu płaczu w tekście Jana Długosza na temat bitwy grunwaldzkiej
2021
Ścisły związek pomiędzy średniowiecznym rycerstwem a kulturą monastyczną najczęściej kojarzony jest z powstaniem zakonów rycerskich. Wpływ duchowości i religijności chrześcijańskiej na kształtowanie wizerunku doskonałego rycerza znajduje swoje w rozlicznych tekstach literackich, także tych, tworzonych do celów politycznych. Z takim przypadkiem mamy do czynienia w tekście Jana Długosza, opisującym starcie się wojsk na polach Grunwaldu w 1410 roku. Przedstawienie tam płaczących dowódców, stających naprzeciwko siebie wojsk chrześcijańskich, miało swój jasno sprecyzowany cel, jakim było wykazanie słuszności przystąpienia do walki, w której efekcie zginęli wyznawcy Chrystusa.
