Intensified job demands and job performance : does SOC strategy use make a difference?
2020
We examined intensified job demands (IJDs) and selecting-optimizing-compensating (SOC) strategies as predictors of job performance (task performance, organizational citizenship behavior). We also investigated SOC strategy use as a moderator in the linkages between IJDs and performance. We sampled three disparate occupational groups (N=4,582). We found that certain dimensions of IJDs showed significant associations with the indicators of job performance but there were also scale-based variations in these linkages, depending on the type of performance and on the sub-scale of IJDs. Specifically, some dimensions of IJDs (e.g., work intensification) related to poorer task performance whereas som…
One-pot cross-enyne metathesis (CEYM)-Diels-Alder reaction of gem-difluoropropargylic alkynes.
2013
Propargylic difluorides 1 were used as starting substrates in a combination of cross-enyne metathesis and Diels–Alder reactions. Thus, the reaction of 1 with ethylene in the presence of 2nd generation Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst generates a diene moiety which in situ reacts with a wide variety of dienophiles giving rise to a small family of new fluorinated carbo- and heterocyclic derivatives in moderate to good yields. This is a complementary protocol to the one previously described by our research group, which involved the use of 1,7-octadiene as an internal source of ethylene.
Mathematical and Coding Lessons Based on Creative Origami Activities
2019
AbstractThis paper considers how creativity and creative activities can be encouraged in regular mathematical classes by combining different teaching approaches and academic disciplines. We combined origami and paper folding with fractals and their mathematical properties as well as with coding in Scratch in order to facilitate learning mathematics and computer science. We conducted a case study experiment in a Serbian school with 15 high school students and applied different strategies for learning profound mathematical and coding concepts such as fractals dimension and recursion. The goal of the study was to employ creative activities and examine students’ activities during this process i…
Suomalaisen orkesterilaitoksen asema suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa
2007
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää suomalaisen orkesterilaitoksen asemaa suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa painottaen orkesterilaitoksen luonteessa ilmenevää autonomian ja yhteiskunnallisen toimijuuden dualismia. Tutkimusongelmaa tarkastellaan autonomisen taidemusiikkikentän, orkesterilaitoksen institutionalisoitumiskehityksen, orkesterilaitoksen julkispalveluluonteen ja kansalaisnäkökulman suunnista, joiden merkitys orkesterilaitoksen asemaan vaikuttaa ilmeiseltä. Orkesterilaitos määrittyy tutkimuksen alussa tarkoittamaan pääosin kaupunkiin sidottujen valtionosuusorkesterien varsinaista toimintaa. Kaikki ulkomusiikillinen, joka ei ole taidemusiikkikentän sisällä neuvoteltu orkesterilaitoksen to…
Biharmonic obstacle problem: guaranteed and computable error bounds for approximate solutions
2020
The paper is concerned with a free boundary problem generated by the biharmonic operator and an obstacle. The main goal is to deduce a fully guaranteed upper bound of the difference between the exact minimizer u and any function (approximation) from the corresponding energy class (which consists of the functions in $H^2$ satisfying the prescribed boundary conditions and the restrictions stipulated by the obstacle). For this purpose we use the duality method of the calculus of variations and general type error identities earlier derived for a wide class of convex variational problems. By this method, we define a combined primal--dual measure of error. It contains four terms of different natu…
Quantitative Approximation Properties for the Fractional Heat Equation
2017
In this note we analyse \emph{quantitative} approximation properties of a certain class of \emph{nonlocal} equations: Viewing the fractional heat equation as a model problem, which involves both \emph{local} and \emph{nonlocal} pseudodifferential operators, we study quantitative approximation properties of solutions to it. First, relying on Runge type arguments, we give an alternative proof of certain \emph{qualitative} approximation results from \cite{DSV16}. Using propagation of smallness arguments, we then provide bounds on the \emph{cost} of approximate controllability and thus quantify the approximation properties of solutions to the fractional heat equation. Finally, we discuss genera…
Multi-marginal entropy-transport with repulsive cost
2020
In this paper we study theoretical properties of the entropy-transport functional with repulsive cost functions. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a minimizer in a class of metric spaces and prove the $\Gamma$-convergence of the entropy-transport functional to a multi-marginal optimal transport problem with a repulsive cost. We also prove the entropy-regularized version of the Kantorovich duality.
