Knowledge behaviors when the commons are at stake: Insights from the Covid-19 crisis
2020
How do people’s beliefs on the likely system-level consequences of circulating a certain piece of knowledge influence those people’s knowledge behaviors? To address this question, we leverage the most recent developments of the theory of the commons as learning systems. According to this theory, people are strongly responsive to perceived threats to the commons they (may) benefit from, and strive to learn and respond accordingly. Through this theoretical lens, we analyze thick qualitative data (January-April 2020) from the Covid-19 crisis, which resulted in unprecedented visibility of commons-related knowledge behaviors. The contribution of this inductive study is fourfold. First, we identi…
Critical aspects of student teachers’ conceptions of learning
2011
Abstract The aim of this phenomenographic study was to discover the educationally critical aspects of learning conceptions among health education student teachers (N = 20). The qualitative data consisted of written essays and semi-structured interviews. Six qualitatively distinctive conceptions of learning could be discerned, namely learning as 1) the reproduction of acquired health knowledge, 2) the application of health knowledge, 3) developing personal meanings on health matters, 4) the transformation of individual thinking, 5) personal growth, and 6) collective meaning-making. These qualitatively distinct categories were reflected through three themes, which embodied critical aspects: t…
The Importance of Creative Services Firms in Explaining the Wealth of European Regions
2013
This chapter shows the important impact that a specific set of services, those belonging to the creative industries, have on regional economic development and wealth generation. Creative industries are a set of knowledge-based activities focused on the generation of meaning, contents and aesthetic attributes through the use of creativity, skill and talent, and have the potential to create wealth from trade and intellectual property rights. A key hypothesis in this paper is that creative services firms are a “growth driver” that promotes wealth in the regions where they are located. This is due to the fact that firms in creative industries introduce new ideas that are subsequently transferre…
Developing Mobile Ontologies; Who, Why, Where, and How?
2007
The number of mobile subscribers in the world is soon reaching the three billion mark. According to the newest estimates, majority of the subscribers are already in the developing countries, whereas the number of subscribers in the industrialized countries is about to stagnate around one billion. Because especially in the developing countries the only access to Internet are mobile devices, developing high quality services based on them grows in importance. Ontologies are an important ingredient towards more complicated mobile services. In this paper we refine the taxonomy for mobile ontologies and discuss their creation, business models, maintenance and intellectual property rights (IPR).
Agreements regarding the property relations of transnational couples and their effects under the application of the twin regulations
2021
It is a true and verifiable fact that the family institution has evolved over recent decades in Europe and throughout the world, but not uniformly or at the same time. This is because it is influenced by social and cultural connotations specific to each State. All of which are respected under EU Regulations 2016/1103 and 2016/1104. This work analyses the Twins Regulations, that gives the couples the possibility of choosing the jurisdiction (art. 7) and applicable legal system underpinning the property consequences of the marriage and registered partnerships (art. 22.1). However, we try to show you these rules absolute freedom of choice is not granted to the parties, because this freedom is …
Kontrakty Jana Fryderyka Sapiehy z lat 1725-1743. Przyczynek do działalności majątkowej i artystycznej magnata w dawnej Rzeczypospolitej
2017
John Frederick Sapieha, Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuanian, after the death of his brother Nicholas in 1716, bccame the sole heir to a fortune of line of Koden. For obvious and probably also for sentimental reasons Sapieha most carcd about Koden. He was also intcrested in the development of the religious mentioned of the city by providing and paying for the rich interior of the local church under the invocation of St. Annc. John Frederick took good care of his property not only by affecting their development and investing in various aspects of economic activity, which had of course bring certain profits. An important element in the functioning of landed estates were also contracts …
Thermodynamic Properties of Sodium n-Alkanecarboxylates in Water and in Water + Cyclodextrins Mixtures
1998
Densities and heat capacities of water−substrate, water−cyclodextrin, and water−substrate−cyclodextrin systems were determined at 298 K. The substrates studied are sodium n-alkanecarboxylates (CnCOONa) (from sodium acetate to sodium decanoate) and the cyclodextrins are hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, (HP-β-CD), hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of CnCOONa in water were calculated as functions of concentration. The standard partial molar properties agree with those obtained by using the additivity rule. HP-β-CD essentially does not affect the thermodynamic properties of C1COON…
Coordination complexes incorporating pyrophosphate: Structural overview and exploration of their diverse magnetic, catalytic and biological properties
2010
Abstract Current attention continues to revolve around the chemistry and biochemistry associated with polyphosphate anions because of their importance in biology. A pivotal intermediate within this family is the pyrophosphate tetraanion, P2O74−. Considering its biological relevance and the multidentate nature that makes it an ideal ligand in the field of the coordination chemistry, there is a growing interest in the use of this anion in building new class of molecules/compounds for different purposes. While the total number of characterized structures still remains modest, several new pyrophosphate-containing coordination complexes have been reported in the last decade, as well as different…
Can Experimental Electron-Density Studies be Used as a Tool to Predict Biologically Relevant Properties of Low-Molecular Weight Enzyme Ligands?
2013
The case of protease inhibitor model compounds incorporating an aziridine or epoxide ring is used to exemplify how application of experimental electron-density techniques can be used to explain the biological properties of low-molecular weight enzyme ligands. This is furthermore seen in the light of a comparison of crystal and enzyme environments employing QM/MM computations to elucidate to which extent the properties in the crystal can be used to predict behavior in the biological surrounding.
Enzymatic and Metabolic Studies on Isolated Nuclei
1957
Publisher Summary In protein synthesis it is important to distinguish between the net synthesis of protein, as measured by an increased amount of protein nitrogen or by the formation of proteins with specific biological properties, such as enzymatically and immunologically active proteins, and exchange reactions, which may be observed in isotope experiments and, which reflect the replacement of an amino acid in a protein molecule with one from its environment. Incorporation of an amino acid into a protein can occur only during net synthesis; both types of reaction occur in similar systems. In true synthesis of protein it is usually difficult to obtain synthesis of a specific entity, especia…
