Future Directions in Workplace Communication

2019

Various utopias and dystopias regarding the significance of human communication in the future workplace have been presented. Artificial intelligence (AI) will undoubtedly be one of the most remarkable influences on future work, and employees must prepare themselves to have social robots as coworkers. Partly as a result of the increased use of AI, various forms of self-employment will gain ground. Lifelong occupations and professions will be less common, and the value of one’s ever-evolving skills and knowledge, applicable to diverse work contexts, will consequently receive more emphasis. Knowledge work will increasingly take place in digital communication environments, and telework and othe…

Rola światopoglądu w utrzymaniu zdrowia psychicznego

2015

Artykuł jest próbą ukazania światopoglądu jako kluczowego elementu ludzkiej psychiki (konglomeratu przekonań) i podkreślenia jego plastyczności i dynamiczności. Każdy człowiek posiada swój indywidual - ny, właściwy tylko sobie światopogląd, dzięki któremu może w pełni funkcjonować i ustosunkowywać się do otoczenia. Biorąc to pod uwagę, zasadnym jest podkreślenie roli, jaką pełni światopogląd w utrzyma - niu zdrowia psychicznego jednostki. Jeśli przekonania, którymi kieruje się osoba, nie pomagają jej w dą - żeniu do samorealizacji, trzeźwej oceny rzeczywistości, jest to znak, że przyjmowany światopogląd nie spełnia swojej roli, hamuje rozwój, a nawet szkodzi takiej osobie.

Samodzielność dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym

2017

Self-reliance is a feature which develops with age and whose scope expands alongside. It is, at the same time, a developmental need of each person, manifesting itself in a child’s steady effort to take action in an individual way that is independent of the environment. Meanwhile, adults often limit the child in its experiencing different situations, through relieving it of performing actions or taking it off completing them. Reasons for such behaviors vary: overprotection and excessive care, anxiety about the child, being in a hurry, which does not allow waiting for the child to bring the commenced action to the end. Wise rearing means resignation from relieving children, imposing requireme…

Hydrogels for Three-Dimensional Ionizing-Radiation Dosimetry

2021

Radiation-sensitive gels are among the most recent and promising developments for radiation therapy (RT) dosimetry. RT dosimetry has the twofold goal of ensuring the quality of the treatment and the radiation protection of the patient. Benchmark dosimetry for acceptance testing and commissioning of RT systems is still based on ionization chambers. However, even the smallest chambers cannot resolve the steep dose gradients of up to 30–50% per mm generated with the most advanced techniques. While a multitude of systems based, e.g., on luminescence, silicon diodes and radiochromic materials have been developed, they do not allow the truly continuous 3D dose measurements offered by radiation-se…

The author discusses the development of a Nordic welfare state and analyzes the relationships between generalized trust and education from the perspectives of democracy, corruption, egalitarian attitudes, wealth, and culture. A reflection was performed of the relationships between generalized trust, school autonomy, and the professional autonomy of teachers. peerReviewed

Physical activity from adolescence to young adulthood: patterns of change, and their associations with activity domains and sedentary time

2021

Background Longitudinal studies demonstrate an average decline in physical activity (PA) from adolescence to young adulthood. However, while some subgroups of adolescents decrease activity, others increase or maintain high or low activity. Activity domains may differ between subgroups (exhibiting different PA patterns), and they offer valuable information for targeted health promotion. Hence, the aim of this study was to identify PA patterns from adolescence to young adulthood; also to explore the associations of (i) changes in PA domains and in sedentary time, (ii) sociodemographic factors, and (iii) self-rated health with diverging PA patterns. Methods The observational cohort study data …

Relationships Between Career Indecision, Search for Work Self-Efficacy, and Psychological Well-Being in Italian Never-Employed Young Adults.

2017

Although different studies have investigated career choices as cognitive acts of decision-making, non-cognitive components also play an important role. The study tries to develop an empirically based model of career decision-making process linking cognitive (search for work self-efficacy - SWSE) and non-cognitive (psychological well-being - PWB) components. In particular, the study investigates, among 148 never-employed Italian young adults, to what extent the relationship between SWSE and career indecision in terms of lack of readiness (LoR) can be explained by their common relationship with PWB. Results highlighted that SWSE is negatively associated with LoR when considered in absence of …

Young Elderly and Digital Coaching : A Quantitative Intervention Study on Exercise Self-Efficacy

2020

Sport and wellness technology devices are becoming an increasingly relevant topic when discussing health and wellness. This study focuses on the use of a “digital coach”, within a specific population, young elderly people. This research explored how the use of a digital coach would affect self-efficacy related to physical activity and exercise among young elderly. Thisquantitative intervention study provided a digital coaching device to a group of young elderly people ranging from 61-78 in age for 10-weeks. It was found that a digital coach may be useful for this population, particularly in increasing their perceived confidence in exercising independently. However, the participants’ percept…
