Journey to the Centre of Europe
1998
De nombreuses institutions locales utilisent, dans de véritables opérations de marketing territorial, une analogie entre centre géographique et centre géométrique du cercle pour valoriser leur localisation. Il s'agit là d'une conception particulière et étroite d'une idée plus riche et plus insaisissable. Le concept de centre est une construction économique et sociale mais il repose sur certains principes consensuels : l'accessibilité, la concentration,l'inégalité, la relativité spatiale et temporelle et la subjectivité compte tenu de sa dimension symbolique. Définir un centre c'est d'abord borner un sous espace de référence. Représenter le centre économique par le centre d'un cercle nécessi…
Zasady finansowania współpracy euroregionalnej na przykładzie Euroregionu Silesia
2016
The tasks of the Euroregion Silesia in the pre-accession program Phare CBC were different on both sides of the border and were limited contem- porary rules that force countries not belonging to the community of the EU. After the entry of both countries to the EU and the incorporation of the program INTERREG III A, the activities of the Euroregion as the so-called. Fund Manager of the Micro sometimes codified and today authorities of both parts Euroregion perform tasks in close cooperation with each other. With the Fund may be funded projects in the field of culture, sports, education, education, tourism, the environment, eco- nomic development planning, use of information technologies and o…
On the Bride’s side? Fra politica della dislocazione ed etica del posizionamento
2016
This paper aims at critically exploring the network geographies underlying the production, distribution and consumption of the Italian docu-film "On the Bride’s side". Through a successful crowdfunding campaign and hundreds of screenings throughout Europe, the docu- film has given rise to a wide diasporic public sphere. It is here that mainstream practices and alternative imaginations combine each other and unveil the complex and contested production of the cultural field
Children's exploration of the concepts of home and belonging: Capturing views from five European countries.
2021
Understanding one's sense of belonging is a central part of identity formation and self-awareness; feeling safe somewhere, with specific people is identified as a basic human need. This paper explores the ideas of children from three age groups in five different European as they discussed the concepts of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’. Findings showed that the children's ideas could be organised into six interrelated aspects: Spatiality, Materiality, Multiplicity, Social Relations, Affect, and Dislocation. Whilst there were differences in the ways that the children conceptualised home across the classes, even the youngest children were able to describe their ideas using metaphors and abstract conce…
Design ed eco-sostenibilità: le fibre vegetali in Sicilia tra tradizione ed innovazione
2012
Il dibattito sulla questione ambientale, sorto tra gli anni ‘60 e ‘70 del secolo scorso, con la formazione delle prime associazioni ambientaliste, ebbe come nodo centrale il rapporto tra economia e ambiente, nella sempre più evidente necessità di preservare la qualità del patrimonio naturale e nella consapevolezza che, essendo le risorse del pianeta tendenzialmente esauribili, dovessero essere rivisti ed equilibrati i modelli di sviluppo. Gli oggetti, secondo la lezione di Bruno Latour, simboleggiano stili di vita che comprendono al loro interno processi comunicativi e riguardano in ogni caso la sfera dell’informazione, dell’interazione, del ricordo e anche del desiderio. L’omologazione del…
Adaptacja gospodarstw rolnych województwa opolskiego do nowych warunków gospodarowania
2012
Nowe spojrzenie na miejsce, rolę i funkcje rolnictwa w gospodarce wiąże się z próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie: jak jego potencjały rozwojowe mogą być wykorzystane jako czynniki wzrostu gospodarczego. Na płaszczyźnie mikroekonomicznej jest ważna nie tylko ocena efektywności wykorzystywanych czynników produkcji, ale również identyfikacja bodźców wpływających na decyzje kierowników gospodarstw rolnych dotyczące sposobów ich aktywności ekonomicznej. Ta druga kwestia jest istotna, ponieważ otoczenie instytucjonalne zreformowanej WPR kieruje rolnictwo na ścieżkę zrównoważonego rozwoju, co wymaga ukształtowania nowych typów jego wielofunkcyjności. W pracy jako mechanizm procesu zaproponowano „cele aut…

Factors Associated with Decisions for Initial Dosing, Up-Titration of Propiverine and Treatment Outcomes in Overactive Bladder Syndrome Patients in a…
2021
Two doses of propiverine ER (30 and 45 mg/d) are available for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. We have explored factors associated with the initial dosing choice (allocation bias), the decision to adapt dosing (escalation bias) and how dosing relative to other factors affects treatment outcomes. Data from two non-interventional studies of 1335 and 745 OAB patients, respectively, receiving treatment with propiverine, were analyzed post-hoc. Multivariate analysis was applied to identify factors associated with dosing decisions and treatment outcomes. Several parameters were associated with dose choice, escalation to higher dose or treatment outcomes, but only few exhibited…
Mate‐Search Efficiency Can Determine the Evolution of Separate Sexes and the Stability of Hermaphroditism in Animals
2002
Limited availability of mating partners has been proposed as an explanation for the occurrence of simultaneous hermaphroditism in animals with pair mating. When low population density or low mobility of a species limits the number of potential mates, simultaneous hermaphrodites may have a selective advantage because, first, they are able to adjust the allocation of resources between male and female functions in order to maximize fitness; second, in a hermaphroditic population the likelihood of meeting a partner is higher because all individuals are potential mates; and, third, in the absence of mating partners, many simultaneously hermaphroditic animals have the option of reproducing throug…
