Developing a framework for designing humanitarian blockchain projects
2021
International audience; Blockchain technology promises to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of humanitarian operations. Yet at the same time, especially the humanitarian context with its characteristic volatility poses unique challenges to any technology. Most prominent are the humanitarian principles that are fundamental to humanitarian operations. These ethical principles are set to protect the most vulnerable populations. Designing blockchain projects in the humanitarian context therefore requires a systematic framework that helps humanitarians make critical choices.While some design instructions can be found for commercial applications, the humanitarian context re…
An algorithm for the assessment of subjective adaptive thermal comfort conditions based on multi-agent systems
2011
Thermal comfort conditions in the built environment are strictly related not only to the thermal and geometric building features and to air-conditioning systems, but also to the building destination, to its using profile and to the biological-metabolic-psychological characteristics of users. As a consequence, there is a strong claim for new models, both subjective and adaptive to the environment, in a particular holistic vision of the problem, with regards to the novel tern user-plant-building system. In such a frame, through the paper the characterization of an algorithm aimed at subjective adaptive thermal comfort evaluations, enriching the one proposed by Fanger with an adaptive approach…
Akomodācijas atpalikšanas saistība ar nespecifisku tuvuma darba diskomfortu
2015
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā, uz 58 lapām. Tas satur 27 attēlus, 7 tabulas, 3 pielikumus un 52 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis: novērtēt akomodācijas atpalikšanas un citu redzes funkciju raksturojošo parametru saistību ar nespecifisku tuvuma darba diskomfortu. Metode: Akomodācijas atpalikšana tika mērīta ar Shin–Nippon SRW–5000 atvērta skata autorefraktometru 3 attālumos (40 cm, 30 cm un 34 cm), gan binokulāri, gan monokulāri. Subjektīvo simptomu novērtēšanai tika izmantotas CISS un Conlon aptaujas anketas. Rezultāti un secinājumi: Monokulāros apstākļos akomodācijas atpalikšana un SD ir lielāka kā binokulāros apstākļos, un palielinās, samazinoties darba attālum…

Mycorrhizal symbiosis changes host nitrogen source use
2021
Abstract Purpose The ecological importance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in plant acquisition of inorganic and organic sources of nitrogen (N) is not clear. To improve understanding of the plant N nutrition ecology, we tested the effect of intraspecific competition and AMF in plant N source use in growth and N acquisition. Methods Solidago virgaurea was grown in microcosms in a fully factorial experiment under greenhouse conditions. The factors tested were intraspecific competition between seedlings and adult plants (yes, no), N source (NH4, glycine) and AMF (inoculated with Glomus hoi, not inoculated). Results When grown separately, non-mycorrhizal seedling growth was highest when …
Hybridity in Nordic Higher Education
2022
This article builds on the concept of nested hybridity. It emphasizes professional practices and organizational design in studying hybridity of steering and management of professional public service organization. The article compares public sector dynamics in higher education in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The data consists of surveys and interviews on performance management in Nordic universities. Previous studies on hybridity of professional work and public organizations define hybridity as a multidimensional concept that occurs at different levels of social practices. While the multifaceted nature of hybridity is clear, demarcating between levels of hybridity and theoretical approaches …

Gamma Oscillations in the Temporal Pole Reflect the Contribution of Approach and Avoidance Motivational Systems to the Processing of Fear and Anger W…
2022
Prior reports suggest that affective effects in visual word processing cannot be fully explained by a dimensional perspective of emotions based on valence and arousal. In the current study, we focused on the contribution of approach and avoidance motivational systems that are related to different action components to the processing of emotional words. To this aim, we compared frontal alpha asymmetries and brain oscillations elicited by anger words associated with approach (fighting) motivational tendencies, and fear words that may trigger either avoidance (escaping), approach (fighting) or no (freezing) action tendencies. The participants’ task was to make decisions about approaching or dis…
Physical Activity Levels in Preschool Children During Winter and Summer
2019
Source at https://fysioterapeuten.no/Tidsskrifter. Bakgrunn: Studier nasjonalt og internasjonalt indikerer at barn i alderen tre til fem år ikke oppnår retningslinjene for anbefalingene (2014) om minimum 60 minutter med moderat til høy fysisk aktivitet (MVPA) per dag. Studiens hovedmål var å undersøke fysisk aktivitetsnivå hos barnehagebarn i tre barnehager i alderen tre til fem år i en periode om vinteren og en periode om våren/sommeren. Metode: Fysisk aktivitet ble målt i barnehagetiden fra mandag til onsdag med aktivitetsmåleren Actigraph GT3X. Aktivitetsnivået ble kategorisert ut fra antall akselerometer- tellinger/min, hvor hovedvariabelen var tid i moderat til høy fysisk aktivitet (MV…
«Loa de la comedia de Montjuïc»: un diàleg bèl·lic entre Catalunya i Castella
2016
Resum: En aquest article analitzo la lloa ubicada després de La comedia del marqués de los Vélez (1641) al fons del Museu d’Història de Barcelona i que suposo, per la ubicació i per l’estil, que el mateix autor les va escriure totes dues amb la intenció que primerament fos representada o bé llegida la lloa i a continuació la comèdia. Pel que fa a la lloa, em dedicaré a l’autor anònim català, i concretament barceloní, que vindicarà la presa d’armes dels catalans, si bé ho farà en llengua castellana. A més, l’autor anònim escollirà el teatre —i no el pamflet propagandístic— per difondre la seva ideologia política. D’aquesta manera, la Loa de la comedia de Montjuïc es converteix en l’única obr…
