Problematic Internet Use and Resilience: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
2023
Problematic Internet use has become a major problem worldwide due to its numerous negative correlates in the field of health, both mental and physical, and its increasing prevalence, making it necessary to study both its risk and protective factors. Several studies have found a negative relationship between resilience and problematic Internet use, although the results are inconsistent. This meta-analysis assesses the relationship between problematic Internet use and resilience, and analyses its possible moderating variables. A systematic search was conducted in PsycInfo, Web of Science and Scopus. A total of 93,859 subjects from 19 studies were included in the analyses. The results show tha…
Brisures du romaneque: 'La Malédiction de la Madone', ou d'une pratique ironique du docufiction.
2023
La Malédiction de la Madone, pubblicato nel 2022, è il primo romanzo in cui Philippe Vilain, scrittore tra i maggiori rappresentanti dell’autofinzione, ab- bandona la narrazione in prima persona per un “docufiction” in terza persona basato sulla vita della camorrista Pupetta Maresca. questo cambio di rotta, an- cor più sorprendente per un autore come Vilain che aveva sempre vilipeso que- sto genere letterario, è occasione di mettere in questione le sue concezioni del romanzo e della letteratura. Ne vien fuori una narrazione tesa tra l’aspirazione a far corpo unico con la sua precedente produzione letteraria e le condizioni im- poste dalla “docufinzionalizzazione” della storia. La Maléd…
Metafikcija un intertekstualitāte Lemonija Sniketa "Nelaimīgo notikumu virknē"
2019
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis ir pētīt metafikcijas un intertekstualitātes izmantojumu literatūrā un to, kā tās pielietotas Lemonija Sniketa darbos, īpašu vērību veltot tieši metafiktīvo elementu analīzei. Metodes, kas tiek izmantotas šajā darbā, ir teorētiskās literatūras apskatīšana un “Nelaimīgo notikumu virknes” grāmatu praktiskā analīze. Rezultāti liecina, ka šajā darbā vēstītājs bieži uzrunā lasītāju tieši gan paskaidrojot vēstījumu, gan daloties zināšanām, gan iekļaujot intertekstuālus elementus tā palielinot lasītāja izpratni un radot vēstītāja klātesamības efektu, šķietami nojaucot robežu starp vēstītāju un lasītāju. Tā kā Snikets ir pieaugušais, kurš raksta galvenokārt bērniem domātus…
The Romanian Academic Novel and Film through the Postcommunism/Postcolonialism Lens
2019
The last two decades have witnessed an intensified academic interest in a potential rapprochement between Postcolonial Studies and Postcommunist Studies, the former a firmly established discipline in global academia, while the existence of the latter as a discipline in its own right is still debatable. As the possibility of this alliance is – as was to be expected – both contested and supported by various scholars, this article attempts to investigate this issue as illustrated by the postcommunist Romanian academic novel. Aware as it is of contemporary intellectual debates, the genre of the academic (or campus) novel seems particularly suitable for shedding light on the matter: academic fic…
A Comparative Study of Mechanical and Microstructural Behavior for Metal Active Gas and Friction Stir Welded Micro-Alloyed Structural Steel
2022
Manufacturing tiny components into gigantic structures seems unimaginable without welding connections, whether it is for materials, parts, structures, or equipment. In the recent competitive market scenario, manufacturing industries are desperately looking for a viable alternative to fusion-based conventional material joining technologies, to improve upon cost-effectiveness along with performance. The present investigation is to evaluate the performance of structural steel thick plate joints prepared by advanced solid-state friction stir welding (FSW) over conventional metal active gas welding (MAG). The FSW experiments were carried out with different tool designs and configurations. The ou…
Metateoretyczne uwagi do koncepcji polityczności Chantal Mouffe w kontekście jej ideologicznych uwikłań
2017
The article contains the thesis that in political science theories a scientific, ideological and philosophical components are so fused that it is impossible to separate them completely. For this reason, the ideological content not only does not undermine the cognitive value of theoretical argument, but even contributes to it — if the relevant criteria are metI think, that the metatheoretical optics is the most appropriate approach to analyse these criteria. It allows not only to describe given theory, but also enables more problematic deconstruction of its conditions and cognitive status. In this article the analysis of this type is presented on the example of Chantal Mouffe’s agonistic co…
The methods and techniques of the research on war and conflicts. The outline of the issue
2018
The aim of this paper is to present the methodological assumptions necessary to examine the wars and conflicts. Authors refer to the genesis of the research on the phenomenon of war that occurred after the end of World War II. Moreover, the authors selects the research methods. The wide range of research methods will be applied in international relations, such as an empirical report, based on the description of the various conflicts and their interpretation. It must be emphasized that methodological technique applied in humanities and empirical sciences is necessary to examine war and peace. Above all, two methods are the most important, that is, inductionism that allows to collect and logi…
Trade-offs among intensive forestry, ecosystem services and biodiversity in boreal forests
2018
Finnish forests are used extensively for timber production but are also providers of other ecosystem services and harbor unique biodiversity. The ecosystem services approach has so far been used marginally in the context of Finnish forestry; however, due to the multiple values associated with Finnish forests and the impacts forestry operations have on forest ecosystems, it is clearly applicable in this context. In this thesis, I studied the occurrence and severity of trade-offs among ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation in Finnish forests. I used forest inventory data, forest growth simulations, and multi-objective optimization to reveal how the severity of the trade-offs varies…
DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ADVANCED METERING AND ICT SOLUTIONS FOR SMART ENERGY DISTRICTS
2022
Climate change will have an influence on the world's 8 billion inhabitants, the majority of whom live in cities, which account for roughly two-thirds of the CO2 emissions that are at the root of the climate crisis. To attain a net-zero carbon future, a rapid transition across business models and policy is required. At the same time, policy and legislation are struggling to keep up with smart technology and the Internet of Things. The management of smart urban infrastructure is the key to successful decarbonisation and the achievement of sustainable cities. In this framework, the smart electricity infrastructure shall be equipped with integrated technologies, such solar panels, storage facil…
Narrativas Híbridas Decoloniales de mujeres colombianas migradas/residentes en Valencia
2015
A partir de los conceptos básicos del pensamiento decolonial Latinoamericano, se plantea la Militancia epistémica/académica como herramienta para la producción de conocimientos situados a través de las Narrativa Hibridas Decoloniales. Ésta producción de conocimiento se fundamenta en la intersección entre teoría crítica feminista (Haraway, 1995),feminismo decolonial (Lugones, 2008; Espinosa, 2009), planteamientos de la modernidad/colonialidad (Castro-Gómez, 2000, 2007; Grosfoguel, 2003, 2008; Mignolo, 2003, 2009) y diferentes metodologías cualitativas (Balasch y Montenegro, 2003; Biglia y Bonet, 2009) y un análisis cualitativo (IAP, entrevistas en profundidad, historias de vida y produccione…
