”Lauluja surullisin sävelin elämästä luopumisesta” : musiikki kuoleman ja surun merkityksellistäjänä suomalaisten suremisessa ja siihen liittyvissä r…

2018

Musiikkia on käytetty kuolemaan liittyvissä rituaaleissa läpi ihmiskunnan historian. Musiikin avulla eri yhteisöt eri aikoina ja eri puolilla maailmaa ovat ilmaisseet menetyksen aiheuttamaa surua ja tarjonneet terapeuttista tukea menetyksestä selviämiseen. Monet käyttävät musiikkia säännöllisesti itsesäätelytarkoituksissa ja tunnetyöskentelyn apuvälineenä. Huolimatta siitä, että ihmisten tiedetään hakevan musiikista lohtua erityisesti vaikeiden elämäntilanteiden aikoihin, ei kuolemaan ja suremiseen liittyvää systemaattista musiikkipsykologian tutkimusta ole juurikaan tehty. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tarkastella musiikin merkityksiä ja funktioita kuolemaan liittyvissä elämäntilante…

Knowledge, attitude, and practice of the use of ready-to-eat vegetables among potential consumers of Palermo (Italy).

2007

The knowledge, attitude, and practice toward the use of ready-to-eat vegetables were evaluated in a sample of 701 (388 women and 313 men) potential consumers in Palermo, by answering to an anonymous questionnaire handed out. Food safety perceptions and behaviors were analysed; in general, interviewed consumers who perceived higher risks exhibited safer food behaviors. There weren't considerable differences in the use of these salads between two sexes; 81.4% of respondents uses these products to save a lot of time, particularly the graduates attach importance to saving in time (p = 0.001), and only 34.4% is worrying about high price. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation betw…

Requalification of the Tobacco Factory in Palermo with destination to social finalities

2016

From the Sixties and for many years later the construction of new buildings, both public and residential, has made our cities more and more large, with a great squandering of ground, pollution and reduction of the green areas. A necessary trend reversal has implied a growing interest towards the rehabilitation and requalification of the brownfields. These, both inside the urban fabric and in suburban areas, offer complexes of buildings with great potentiality for a sustainable reuse both from the social point of view and from the environmental one. The large dimensions, the great spans and the materials usually used make these buildings suitable to a recovery which makes possible a rehabili…

Agri-food Clusters as an Opportunity for Development of Border Rural Areas

2016

Cooperation within the framework of euroregions of the European Union is an answer to challenges posed by global economy and not merely an instrument to reduce negative external effects which exist in peripheral areas. In the long-term perspective, cooperation should serve to: ensure stability of natural capital, dissemination of knowledge and innovation as well as break the convention of simple industrialization thanks to the feedback of network economy. The sole meeting point of the three processes is a territory, the delineation of which should be executed by social actors capable of identifying resources that are available on it. The authors of the article present the justification of t…

Positive Computing as Paradigm to Overcome Barriers to Global Co-authoring of Open Educational Resources

2018

The adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) can support collaboration and knowledge sharing. One of the main areas of the usage OER is the internationalization, i.e., the use in a global context. However, the globally distributed co-creation of digital materials is still low. Therefore, we identify essential barriers, in particular for co-authoring of OER in global environments. We use a design science research method to introduce a barrier framework for co-authoring OER in global settings and propose a wellbeing-based system design constructed from the barrier framework for OER co-authoring tool. We describe how positive computing concepts can be used to overcome barriers, emphasizing…

Crowdsourcing as a mode of open innovation: Exploring drivers of success of a multisided platform through system dynamics modelling

2020

This article aims to explore drivers of success of a crowdsourcing platform. The study conceptualizes crowdsourcing as a mode of open innovation and places such a concept within the context of the sharing economy. Upon this framework, the paper analyses the case of InnoCentive, a successful crowdsourcing platform where innovation-driven organizations search for solutions to their R&D tasks. The system dynamics model frames main InnoCentive business processes and offers a causal perspective on the relationships between platform performance—in terms of users base—and resources structure. The discussion on simulation outputs is carried out through a dynamic performance management view of p…

Supporting Cyber Resilience with Semantic Wiki

2016

Cyber resilient organizations, their functions and computing infrastructures, should be tolerant towards rapid and unexpected changes in the environment. Information security is an organization-wide common mission; whose success strongly depends on efficient knowledge sharing. For this purpose, semantic wikis have proved their strength as a flexible collaboration and knowledge sharing platforms. However, there has not been notable academic research on how semantic wikis could be used as information security management platform in organizations for improved cyber resilience. In this paper, we propose to use semantic wiki as an agile information security management platform. More precisely, t…

Seeking Technical Debt in Critical Software Development Projects : An Exploratory Field Study

2016

In recent years, the metaphor of technical debt has received considerable attention, especially from the agile community. Still, despite the fact that agile practices are increasingly used in critical domains, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies investigating the occurrence of technical debt in critical software development projects. The results of an exploratory field study conducted across several projects reveal that a variety of business and environmental factors cause the occurrence of technical debt in critical domains. Using Grounded Theory method, these factors are categorized as ambiguity of requirement, diversity of projects, inadequate knowledge management, and res…

An Information system design product theory for the abstract class of integrated requirements and delivery management systems

2014

Information and Communications Technology-enabled international sourcing of software-intensive systems and services (eSourcing) is increasingly used as a means of adding value, reducing costs, sharing risks, and achieving strategic aims. To maximally reap the benefits from eSourcing and to mitigate the risks, providers and clients have to be aware of and build capabilities for the eSourcing life-cycle. China is in a position to become a superpower for eSourcing service provisioning, but most Chinese eSourcing service providers are small or medium-sized and typically work for larger intermediaries instead of end-clients, limiting their business and capabilities development. The extant litera…
