Value Co-creation for Smart Villages: The Institutionalization of Regional Service Ecosystems
2020
Building a versatile portfolio of public and private digital-enabled services is vital in rural and sparsely populated regions, where traditional market mechanisms alone cannot guarantee the availability of essential services. However, contemporary services tend to build on prevalent institutions, often governed by decisions based on market mechanisms, such as economies of scale – service-by-service and village-by-village. A shift is suggested towards networks of smart villages co-creating value as regional service ecosystems. We draw from institutional theory and employ the Service-dominant logic (SDL) framework in investigating value co-creation in rural villages in Sweden. Analyzing 53 l…
Effects of progressive aquatic resistance training on symptoms and quality of life in women with knee osteoarthritis: A secondary analysis.
2020
Abstract Objective: To conduct a secondary analysis to study the effects, those 4 months of aquatic resistance training have on self‐assessed symptoms and quality of life in post‐menopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA), after the intervention and after a 12‐month follow‐up period. Methods: A total of 87 post‐menopausal volunteer women, aged 60‐68 years, with mild knee OA were recruited in a randomized, controlled, 4‐month aquatic training trial (RCT) and randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 43) and a control (n = 44) group. The intervention group participated in 48 supervised aquatic resistance training sessions over 4 months while the control group maintained their usual l…
Exercise as stimulus for cartilage health in knee osteoarthritis
2018
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability and has significant socio-economical costs globally. There is no known cure for OA. Therapeutic exercise has been shown to evoke acute positive posttreatment effects on pain and function. Even though cartilage degeneration is crucial in OA progression, there is sparse knowledge about exercise effects on osteoarthritic cartilage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of aquatic resistance training on the estimated biochemical composition of tibiofemoral cartilage and the association between leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and tibiofemoral cartilage in postmenopausal women with mild kn…
Pannelli traslucidi preassemblati “a secco” e precompressi realizzati con vetromattoni “modificati”
2011
L’articolo illustra le problematiche connesse al progetto di un pannello preassemblato a secco e precompresso realizzato impiegando vetromattoni “modificati”, energeticamente efficienti. Tra le 21 nuove configurazioni del vetromattone individuate è stata indagata per via analitico-sperimentale quella più efficiente dal punto di vista energetico, al fine di valutarne la resistenza meccanica e conoscere lo stato deformativo che si genera nel giunto adesivo tra conchiglie di vetro e “cintura termica”.Per realizzare un taglio termico tra le due conchiglie di vetro e consentire l’inserimento di una o più lastre all’interno dell’intercapedine del vetromattone è stata, infatti, progettata una “cin…
Sustaining Attention for a Prolonged Duration Affects Dynamic Organizations of Frequency-Specific Functional Connectivity
2020
Sustained attention encompasses a cascade of fundamental functions. The human ability to implement a sustained attention task is supported by brain networks that dynamically formed and dissolved through oscillatory synchronization. The decrement of vigilance induced by prolonged task engagement affects sustained attention. However, little is known about which stage or combinations are affected by vigilance decrement. Here, we applied an analysis framework composed of weighted phase lag index (wPLI) and tensor component analysis (TCA) to an EEG dataset collected during 80 min sustained attention task to examine the electrophysiological basis of such effect. We aimed to characterize the phase…
Kylät tulevaisuuden paikallisyhteisöinä
2018
Tämän artikkelin tavoitteena on kylien eli maaseutumaisten paikallisyhteisöjen tulevaisuuden luonteen hahmottaminen. Peilaan jälkimodernin paikallisyhteisön piirteitä aktiivisista kylistä keräämääni aineistoon. Miten jälkimodernille paikallisyhteisölle ominaiset piirteet, kuten kommunikatiivisuus ja avoimuus niissä rakentuvat? Mitä haasteita ne tuovat tulevaisuuden kylätoiminnalle ja kylien kehittämiselle? Jälkimodernit paikallisyhteisöt eivät rakennu vastavoimana individualismille, vaan osana sitä. Ne pyrkivät vastaamaan samalla sekä ihmisten yksilöllisiin intresseihin ja valintoihin että yhteisöllisyyden ja kuulumisen tarpeeseen. peerReviewed
Aktywność sołectw wspierających rozwój społeczny w ramach Programu Odnowy Wsi w latach 2013-2015
2018
Odnowa wsi jako metoda rozwoju stanowi jeden ze sposobów osiągania celów rozwojowych, rozumianych nie tylko w kontekście poprawy jakości infrastruktury, ale poprawy szeroko rozumianej jakości życia, której nie osiągniemy bez zaangażowania samych mieszkańców. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie Programu Odnowy Wsi (na przykładzie województwa opolskiego) jako elementu przyczyniającego się do rozwoju kapitału społecznego, czego wyrazem może być liczba przedsięwzięć realizowanych przez poszczególne sołectwa. Zostały przeanalizowane sprawozdania sołectw (około 600 rocznie) z realizacji programu w latach 2013-2015. Podstawową metodą prezentacji wyników badań jest analiza opisowa z użyciem metod il…
The Development of Entrepreneurship in Rural Areas According to Leaders of the Village Renewal Program (a Case Study of Opole Voivodeship)
2018
The use of diverse and specific competitive advantages is one of the main objectives in the modern planning of socioeconomic development of regions. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account local and regional strengths to a greater extent. The use of local natural and socioeconomic characteristics should foster greater efficiency and diversity of enterprises in rural areas. Therefore, the policy of the development of rural areas should ensure that these specific opportunities and competitive advantages are properly used, meet new challenges related to the need of diversifying economic functions by introducing new forms of nonagricultural employment and supporting a system of services…
The Village Renewal Scheme as an Element Fostering Enterpreneurship in Rural Areas: The Case of the Opole Voivodeship
2017
The village renewal as a development method is one of the ways to achieve development goals, understood not only as an improvement of the infrastructure quality but broader as improvement of the widely comprehended quality of life, which cannot be achieved without involvement of the inhabitants. The aim of this article is an attempt to present the Village Renewal Scheme (shown by the example of the Opole Voivodeship) as an element stimulating local communities, strengthening social capital and contributing to support of entrepreneurship in rural areas. It was to achieve the aim that the reports of the village administrator's offices (about 600 per year) on the implementation of the Village …
Protokoły rozjemców rejencji opolskiej jako źródło do badań życia codziennego na wsi śląskiej od XIX do połowy XX wieku
2017
The acts of arbitration courts, operating in Opole district since 1835, constitute an interesting source for the research of Silesian everyday village life in the nineteenth and twentieth century. The author, after having presented a short outline of the institution and its legal functioning, concentrates on specific cases lodged to peacemakers. The everyday life situations in the protocols present the interpersonal conflicts, usually concerning unimportant things, not being included in the criminal case catalogue. The picture of the village, as shown in the article, is however not an idyllic one. It presents the conflicts, difficult to be found in other historical resources, such as: a tus…
