User behavior in Smart and Sustainable Offices (SSO)
2017
Smart and Sustainable Offices (SSO) require synergies between technologies and users behaviors. The sociotechnical approach considers users’ motives, attitudes, cognitions and behaviors when designing work environments. This note will describe those phenomena in office environments. It will also present a set of tools to assess those phenomena and will provide guidelines to improve them.
The incubation process for the creation of viable firms: the case of ARCA Consortium
2015
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that academic incubators play a key role in firm viability. This study develops a new analytic systemic framework that reveals the processes and factors that determine the effectiveness of the incubation process supported by university incubators. We analyse the effectiveness of the incubation process in the incubator of the ARCA Consortium by means of a single case study with an embedded design. In this study, adopting a systemic perspective, we shift the focus from the firm to the context, shedding light on the systemic actions that create the prerequisite conditions for the achievement of the firms’ viability.
Dynamic Office Environments Improve Brain Activity and Attentional Performance Mediated by Increased Motor Activity.
2018
Current research demonstrates beneficial effects of physical activity on brain functions and cognitive performance. To date, less is known on the effects of gross motor movements that do not fall into the category of sports-related aerobic or anaerobic exercise. In previous studies, we found beneficial effects of dynamic working environments, i.e., environments that encourage movements during cognitive task performance, on cognitive performance and corresponding brain activity. Aim of the present study was to examine the effects of working in a dynamic and a static office environment on attentional and vigilance performance, and on the corresponding electroencephalographic (EEG) brain oscil…
The use of barley straw residues to avoid high erosion and runoff rates on persimmon plantations in Eastern Spain under low frequency-high magnitude …
2016
[EN] Soil and water losses due to agricultural mismanagement are high and non-sustainable in many orchards. An experiment was set up with rainfall simulation at 78 mm h(-1) over 1 hour on 20 paired plots of 2 m(2) (bare and straw covered) in new persimmon plantations in Eastern Spain. Effects of straw cover on the control of soil and water losses were assessed. An addition of 60% straw cover (75 gm(-2)) resulted in delayed ponding and runoff generation and consequently reduced water losses from 60% to 13% of total rainfall. The straw cover reduced raindrop impact and thus sediment detachment from 1014 to 47 g plot(-1) h(-1). The erosion rate was reduced from 5.1 to 0.2 Mg ha-(1) h(-1). The …

Serendipity in recommender systems
2018
The number of goods and services (such as accommodation or music streaming) offered by e-commerce websites does not allow users to examine all the available options in a reasonable amount of time. Recommender systems are auxiliary systems designed to help users find interesting goods or services (items) on a website when the number of available items is overwhelming. Traditionally, recommender systems have been optimized for accuracy, which indicates how often a user consumed the items recommended by system. To increase accuracy, recommender systems often suggest items that are popular and suitably similar to items these users have consumed in the past. As a result, users often lose interest…
Objektīvās izmeklēšanas princips Satversmes tiesas procesā
2016
Objektīvās izmeklēšanas principa pamatā ir ideja, ka procesā iesaistīto pušu starpā pastāv faktiskā nevienlīdzība, kuru ir iespējams līdzsvarot ar tiesas aktīvu līdzdalību procesa ietvaros. Šāds procesuāls princips Latvijas tiesību sistēmā ir pozitivizēts īstenošanai tikai administratīvā procesa tiesā ietvaros. Izvērtējot Satversmes tiesas specializēto kompetenci, pirmšķietami varētu šķist, ka Satversmes tiesas procesa ietvaros nav nepieciešamība īstenot objektīvās izmeklēšanas principu. Tādējādi rodas arī nepieciešamība izpētīt objektīvās izmeklēšanas principa īstenošanas iespējas Satversmes tiesas procesa ietvaros. Darba mērķis ir identificēt objektīvās izmeklēšanas principa īstenošanas i…
Oral proficiency in second and third foreign languages in the Danish education system
2019
In this paper, we analyze how oral proficiency is understood in the Danish education system in the three biggest second/third foreign languages taught in the country: French, Spanish and German. We adopt a comparative perspective and analyze how orality is addressed in these language subjects at primary school, secondary school and university levels. We compare the three languages to find similarities and differences, focusing on learning objectives, pedagogical approaches and examination forms, presented in the official curricula for each of the three educational levels. We relate the Danish stance on oral proficiency to current international research in the field and to European tendencie…

Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą rozkodowania normy prawnej z art. 70 k.k.s.1, która penalizuje bezprawny obrót znakami akcyzy jako czyn karnoskarbowy o charakterze przepołowionym, bo zarówno jako przestępstwo skarbowe, jak i jako wykroczenie skarbowe. Blankietowy charakter normy prawnej z art. 70 k.k.s. wymaga posiłkowania się przepisami innych ustaw celem pełnego ustalenia znaczenia użytych w jej treści pojęć i instytucji prawnych. Istota sprowadza się do tego, że swobodny obrót znakami akcyzy jest zakazany, a obrót nimi jest możliwy jedynie na zasadach stricte normatywnie, czyli prawnie określonych w treści odpowiedniej ustawy.
