El Europartido en el marco del Parlamento Europeo
2020
La presente opera offre un’analisi del concetto di Europartito, inteso come l’insieme delle interazioni tra partiti politici europei, partiti politici nazionali e gruppi politici del Parlamento europeo. In base alla tesi argomentata dall’Autrice, esiste una stretta connessione tra l'arena parlamentare e il sistema oggetto di studio, in quanto l'evoluzione del Parlamento europeo ha influenzato il consolidamento dei tratti identificativi degli attori politici attivi a livello europeo, e viceversa. Non si tratta di un condizionamento unidirezionale ma sinallagmatico. Utilizzando un approccio descrittivo e diacronico, basato sui dati raccolti nel corso delle legislature europei, l’analisi di ci…
Problem Talk in Management Group Meetings
2019
This naturalistic study focuses on problem talk (PT) in hospital management group meetings. The study aims to understand how PT constitutes the hospital organization through the different uses of PT within the meetings, and, therefore, to understand the organizing role of these meetings. The communication as constitutive of organization (CCO) perspective forms the theoretical background of the research. The results of the qualitative analysis show that PT comprises many intertwined tasks that aim to perform the meetings, enhance problem solving, and maintain the relational level of group life. Thus, PT is much more than merely solving problems. In PT, problems are discussed from the viewpo…
Solutions with sign information for nonlinear Robin problems with no growth restriction on reaction
2019
We consider a parametric nonlinear Robin problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator. The reaction is a Carathéodory function which is only locally defined (that is, the hypotheses concern only its behaviour near zero). The conditions on the reaction are minimal. Using variational tools together with truncation, perturbation and comparison techniques and critical groups, we show that for all small values of the parameter λ > 0, the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of constant sign and the third nodal.
A four-session acceptance and commitment therapy based intervention for depressive symptoms delivered by masters degree level psychology students: a …
2013
Background:Depressive symptoms are one of the main reasons for seeking psychological help. Shorter interventions using briefly trained therapists could offer a solution to the ever-rising need for early and easily applicable psychological treatments.Aims:The current study examines the effectiveness of a four-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based treatment for self-reported depressive symptoms administered by Masters level psychology students.Method:This paper reports the effectiveness of a brief intervention compared to a waiting list control (WLC) group. Participants were randomized into two groups: ACT (n= 28) and waiting list (n= 29). Long-term effects were examined using…
Effectiveness of peer support on health-related quality of life in recently diagnosed breast cancer patients : a randomized controlled trial
2019
Purpose: Breast cancer is the most common cancer of Finnish women. Peer support could be a way to help breast cancer patients to deal with the disease but studies on its effectiveness have produced conflicting results. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to study the effectiveness of peer support on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of breast cancer patients. Methods: Patients with recently diagnosed breast cancer at the Helsinki University Hospital were randomly allocated to intervention (n = 130) or control (n = 130) groups. The intervention group patients received peer support via telephone one to five times according to their preference. The control group received usual…
#How Can We Help You?: An Instagram-Based Online Self-Help for Eating Disorders
2023
In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in online self-help treatments and peer-support programs for eating disorders. The possibility of easily accessing them anytime makes these programs an important support tool and an influencing source for increasing motivation to change. The aim of this work is to describe the #How can we help you? project, its initial feedback received from users, and its future directions. Researchers and clinicians developed an Instagram profile (Dicci Come Aiutarti) based on psychoeducation, aimed at orienting those suffering from a self-reported eating disorder towards clinical care, providing information about eating concerns and related constructs…
The role of languages at Finnish universities
2011
The promotion of multilingualism is one of the objectives of the European Union. However, in academic contexts, internationalisation and multilingual expertise are often understood as using English as a medium in teaching, research, tutoring and administrative communication. To explore the role of different languages at Finnish universities, an online survey was conducted in November – December 2009 among their staff, with 3605 respondents across disciplines and occupational groups. In this paper, we will present some of the results focussing on the following questions: How important are different languages considered in a university working environment? What are the language skills and use…
Wewnętrzne podziały i opozycja wewnątrzpartyjna w Socjaldemokratycznej Partii Niemiec w drugiej połowie XX wieku
2016
The Social Democratic Party of Germany was (and still is) a political party, in which the existence of different informal groups and clubs (performing the function of the Opposition inside the party) is admissible. After the end of the war and the return of the SPD to a legał activity, there followed - within it - a revival of not only old structures, but also that of old divisions into the leit wing and the right wing, which referred to the ideas of revisionism and questions of reforms capable of changing or maintaining the capitalist political system. With time, there formed two main wings among the democrats: the right wing - known as Kanalarbeiter, and later on Seeheimer Kreis, and the …
C1,α-regularity for variational problems in the Heisenberg group
2017
We study the regularity of minima of scalar variational integrals of $p$-growth, $1<p<\infty$, in the Heisenberg group and prove the H\"older continuity of horizontal gradient of minima.
A Gaschütz–Lubeseder Type Theorem in a Class of Locally Finite Groups
1999
The aim of this paper is to present a Gaschutz–Lubeseder type theorem in the class cL of all radical locally finite groups satisfying min−p for all primes p. Notice that these groups are countable and co-Hopfian by [1, (5.4.8)]. In retrospect, the theory of saturated formations of finite soluble groups began with the results of Gaschutz [3] in 1963. He introduced the concept of “covering subgroup” as a generalization of Sylow and Hall subgroups. These covering subgroups have many of the properties of Sylow and Hall subgroups other than the arithmetic ones. The main idea of Gaschutz’s work was concerned with group theoretical classes having the same properties. He defined a formation F to be…
