The Sense of Belonging to the Country: Integrative Relationships and Spatiotemporal Commitment
2020
The satisfaction of the need to belong reflects in the sense of being an integrative part of the group or social system. There is some lack of empirical evidence for the structure of this sense at the macro level. This study assessed a two-dimensional model of the sense of belonging to the country, which included relational and spatiotemporal components. Participants were 539 university students from 18 to 50 (74% females). Questions regarding involvement, perceived acceptance, sense of commonality, and feeling at home represented the relational component of the sense of belonging. Four temporal categories—the recent past, present, and the near and distant future—were included in the assess…
Imperial straightening devices in disciplinary choices of academic knowledge production
2021
Abstract In this piece, the authors question whether critical language research, in its complex collection of researcher choices, is possible beyond the discursive imaginary of critical academic scholarship. In other words, how do (allegedly) anticolonial efforts re-orient towards contribution to the imperial record? We present three vignettes, through which we grapple with the notion that researcher choice exists within the solipsism of academia. In doing so, we frame research and scholarship as a collection of choices, which we believe are better understood as a collection of fraught dilemmas. These dilemmas recognize that all academic scholarship production and its processes are birthed …
Using Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy to Foster Critically Reflective Learning About Management and Leadership
2019
This chapter focuses on an Arts-Based Intervention (ABI) into an Introductory course of Management and Leadership offered to students considering key concepts and frames of thinking in the field for the first time. First, we introduce Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy and conceptually frame our ABI in relation to the mode of learning that it allows for together with the drive for equality that it is concerned with. We then introduce the context of the ABI, describe the course and its background and the course facilitators together with information about the participants. Emphasis is placed on the way the course was framed to bring a sense of present-day management reality through our use of art-based …
Crystal structure of a low-spin poly[di-μ3-cyanido-di-μ2-cyanido-bis(μ2-2-ethylpyrazine)dicopper(I)iron(II)]
2019
In the title metal–organic framework, [Fe(C6H8N2)2{Cu(CN)2}2] n , the low-spin FeII ion lies at an inversion centre and displays an elongated octahedral [FeN6] coordination environment. The axial positions are occupied by two symmetry-related bridging 2-ethylpyrazine ligands, while the equatorial positions are occupied by four N atoms of two pairs of symmetry-related cyanide groups. The CuI centre is coordinated by three cyanide carbon atoms and one N atom of a bridging 2-ethylpyrazine molecule, which form a tetrahedral coordination environment. Two neighbouring Cu atoms have a short Cu...Cu contact [2.4662 (7) Å] and their coordination tetrahedra are connected through a common edge between…
Crystal structure of catena-poly[[[(2-ethoxypyrazine-κN)copper(I)]-di-μ2-cyanido] [copper(I)-μ2-cyanido]]
2019
The title compound, {[Cu(EtOpz)(CN)2][CuCN]}n, where EtOpz is 2-ethoxypyrazine, is a two-dimensional polymeric copper complex with different coordination environments of the two CuI ions. One Cu atom is coordinated to the 2-ethoxypyrazine molecule and two bridging cyanide ligands, equally disordered over two sites. The second Cu atom is coordinated by two disordered over two sites bridging cyanide groups. Two copper–cyanide chains are connected through Cu⋯Cu contact.
Intramolecular 1,5-S...N σ-hole interaction in (E)-N′-(pyridin-4-ylmethylidene)thiophene-2-carbohydrazide
2020
The hydrazide-hydrazone forms inverse dimers via hydrogen bonding, but its conformation is defined by the presence of an intramolecular chalcogen bond. Electrostatic forces dominate in the crystal packing and give rise to a layered supramolecular structure.
Discretionary Fiscal Policies over the Cycle: New Evidence Based on the ESCB Disaggregated Approach
2012
This paper explores how discretionary fiscal policies on the revenue side of the government budget have reacted to economic fluctuations in European Union countries. For this purpose, it uses data on legislated revenue changes and structural indicators provided twice per year by National Central Banks of European Union countries in the ESCB framework for analysing fiscal policy. The analysis is based on the estimation of fiscal policy rules linking these measures of legislated fiscal policy changes to the output gap and other control variables. Then, baseline results are compared with regression estimates where variations of cyclically-adjusted indicators are used as proxy for discretionary…
Students' school‐level symptoms mediate the relationship between a school's observed moisture problems and students’ subjective perceptions of indoor…
2020
Moisture damage can influence the subjective assessment of indoor air quality (subjective IAQ) in various ways. We studied whether the frequency of symptoms reported across students at school level mediates the relationship between observed mold and dampness in a school building and students' subjective IAQ. To answer this research question, we tested a multilevel path model. The analyzed data were created by merging two nationwide data sets: (a) survey data from students, including information on subjective IAQ (N = 24,786 students); (b) data from schools, including information on mold and dampness in a school building (N = 222). After the background variables were adjusted, schools' obser…
A design framework and principles for co-designing learning environments fostering learning and wellbeing
2018
Increased understanding of the complex synergetic influences of psychosocial and physical learning environments (LEs) on learning and wellbeing has drawn attention to their careful design. Contemporary learner-centred educational paradigms emphasise the importance of learner involvement in the LE design. A gap exists, however, between the theoretical discourses of LE design and their application into educational practice. Furthermore, a lack of shared conceptual understanding among studies conducted in different cultural and disciplinary contexts undermines the comparability, generalisability, and build-up of a coherent body of knowledge on the LE design. This educational design research re…
From detail to project: House Caiozzo-Facciola
2021
The analysis and understanding, through drawing, of Casa Cajozzo-Facciolà, designed by Pasquale Culotta and Giuseppe Leone, in 1979, on a cliff in Contrada Ogliastrillo in Cefalù, followed a pro- cess that is unlike the traditional process. From the consideration that the detail is thought of as a portion of a whole, which allows, through a close examination, to re-read the global system from which it was provisionally extracted, we proceeded with the analysis of the expected construction system, the balloon frame, and thanks to a close examination of the construction details of which there were sketches with explanatory notes, the proportions, spaces, volumes, surface treatment of the over…
