Threats and attitudes toward Russian-speaking immigrants: a comparative study between younger and older Finns

2014

Using integrated threat theory as a theoretical lens to detect negative attitudes toward minority groups, this study compares and contrasts the perceptions and attitudes of older and younger Finns toward Russian-speaking minorities in Finland. A sample of high school students between 16 and 20 years of age represented the younger generation, while individuals over 65 years of age represented the older generation. The total sample was 242. Results indicated that there is a positive correlation between threat perception and prejudice. Results revealed that both groups have prejudices against Russian speakers and that these prejudices are related to the perception of realistic threat and negat…

Comparison between a detailed and a simplified integrated model for the assessment of urban drainage environmental impact on an ephemeral river

2008

The benefit of integrated analysis has been demonstrated in technical literature and it is also required by the EU Water Framework Directive 60/2000, which proposes a water-quality-orientated view of the whole urban drainage system and oversees new ways of assessing its performance. Integrated models, such as any complex modelling approach, often have prohibitive data availability requirements that reduce their applicability. Moreover, widely different approaches can be applied, ranging from simple conceptual models to complex physically based ones. In the present paper, two approaches have been compared using data from an experimental catchment in Bologna ( Italy), which consists of a part…

Urban Regeneration in Porto: exploring the role of the EU urban policies in Bairro da Sé

European cities have been threatened by many challenges, including socioeconomic crisis, environmental hazards and the phenomenon of climate change, that affect both the territory and the people that inhabit it. At the same time the European Commission underlines the major impact of local urban settings on the sustainable development of Europe, while cities hold the capacity to steer their futures. Since the 1990s that the European Union, together with the Portuguese urban policies, have been influencing the processes of spatial development within the city of Porto by deploying direct and indirect urban regeneration strategies. Among these strategies are integrated urban regeneration interv…

Integrirana marketinška komunikacija u visoko kategoriziranim hotelima Dalmacije: istraživanje iz perspektive menadžera i gostiju

2012

Although the implementation of Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) has been studied in different contexts and countries all over the world, further contributions are needed to consolidate the concept. Little research has been done on the integration of marketing communications in tourism-related sectors. Moreover, previous studies have focused mainly on managers’ opinions while overlooking consumers’ perceptions of IMC. The purpose of this research is to study in greater detail the IMC concept in the tourism sector, specifically in the hotels of Central and Southern Dalmatia, from a double perspective: managers-guests. Therefore, managers of 15 high-quality hotels and 118 guests were …

Evolución de la información integrada en el mundo: análisis de sus primeras etapas de formulación

2017

La Información Integrada (IR), ha sido planteada como la concreción de toda la información de las organizaciones en un único documento, el cual debe ser preparado desde una perspectiva de sostenibilidad, y cuyo objetivo debe orientarse a informar acerca de la creación de valor por parte de las organizaciones (Eccles & Krzus, 2010). El objetivo de la IR es cubrir las crecientes demandas de transparencia e inclusión, por parte de todos los stakeholders de las organizaciones. Bajo el concepto de IR, se propone que los contenidos antes desplegados en distintos informes corporativos, ahora, no sólo se presenten juntos, sino que además sean pensados y producidos de manera integrada (Jensen & Berg…

Tiešsaistes integrētas izstrādes vides salīdzināšana ar lokālām integrētām izstrādes vidēm JAVA programmēšanas valodai

2020

Bakalaura darba ietvaros tika izpētītas, salīdzinātas un aprakstītas divas integrētas izstrādes vides priekš Java programmēšanas valodas: tiešsaistes un lokāla. Teorētiskajā daļā tiek aprakstīta Java programmēšanas valoda un integrētas izstrādes vides funkcijas, priekšrocības un trūkumi. Darbā tiek apskatītas vairākas integrētas izstrādes vides un izvēlētas divas: viena tiešsaistes un viena lokāla. Tālāk, balsoties uz standartu ISO 9126-1: 2001, autors izveido kvalitātes modeli, lai salīdzinātu vairākas integrētas izstrādes vides. Praktiskajā daļā tiek salīdzinātas tiešsaistes un lokāla integrēta izstrādes vide pēc autora izveidota kvalitātes modeļa.

ANÁLISIS DE LOS HOTELES DE ALTA CATEGORÍA DE CROACIA DESDE EL ENFOQUE HOTEL-HUÉSPED / ANALYSIS OF HIGH-QUALITY HOTELS OF CROATIA FROM THE HOTEL-GUEST…

2011

Croacia viene experimentando un auge turístico notable en los últimos diez años. Es crucial para su futuro desarrollo saber gestionar el sector hotelero de acuerdo con las nuevas exigencias del mercado. Este trabajo pretende analizar los hoteles de alta categoría de Croacia desde un doble enfoque hotel-huésped, centrándose en una nueva estrategia de marketing denominada Comunicación Integrada de Marketing (CIM), los avances en las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) y la lealtad. Los resultados demuestran el elevado grado de implantación de las TIC y de la CIM y el grado moderado de los programas de lealtad en los hoteles analizados. Además, confirman la influencia de las TIC en…

KLUM@GTAP: Introducing biophysical aspects of land-use decisions into a general equilibrium model: A coupling experiment

2006

In this paper the global agricultural land use model KLUM is coupled to an extended version of the computable general equilibrium model (CGE) GTAP in order to consistently assess the integrated impacts of climate change on global cropland allocation and its implication for economic development. The methodology is innovative as it introduces dynamic economic land-use decisions based also on the biophysical aspects of land into a state-of-the-art CGE; it further allows the projection of resulting changes in cropland patterns on a spatially more explicit level. A convergence test and illustrative future simulations underpin the robustness and potentials of the coupled system. Reference simulat…

Chaos and its Degradation-Promoting-Based Control in an Antithetic Integral Feedback Circuit

2022

This letter deals with a novel variant of antithetic integral feedback controller (AIFC) motifs which can feature robust perfect adaptation, a pervasive (desired) ability in natural (synthetic) biomolecular circuits, when coupled with a wide class of process networks to be regulated. Using the separation of timescales in the proposed kind of AIFC, here we find a reducedorder controller that captures the governing slow part of the original solutions under suitable assumptions. Inspired by R(ossler systems, we then make use of such a simpler controller to show that the antithetic circuit can exhibit chaotic behaviors with strange attractors, where the bifurcation from a homeostatic state to c…

A technological approach towards integrated solid waste management in developing countries

2017

This research is grounded in the planning concept of Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM). ISWM was developed to promote sustainability in the waste management for developing countries. Waste managers and policy makers in developing countries have been adopting the principles of ISWM into their waste strategies for several decades. But despite their many efforts, still important problems remain, as is the case of low collection coverage, lack of proper treatment of the different waste types, high dependency on final disposal sites and even in some cities uncontrolled dumping is still accepted as the only way to handle the waste. For that reason, waste management in developing countries …
