Built Environment and Wellbeing—Standards, Multi-Criteria Evaluation Methods, Certifications
2022
The debate on IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality), with a focus on the healthiness of the built environment and its possible influence on the natural environment, has been a relevant topic for a decade. This interest has expanded to the quality of building technologies, specifically their performances and environmental effects. The objectives set by the 2030 Agenda have led to overcome the idea that sustainability is only related to environment; instead, a holistic vision aimed at human health has been affirmed (objective 3). The period marked by the Covid19 emergency contributed to strengthen the need for human well-being, as the “quarantine” made us observe our living spaces, r…
The MIMOSE Approach to Support Sustainable Forest Management Planning at Regional Scale in Mediterranean Contexts
2017
In recent decades, Mediterranean landscapes have been affected by human-induced drivers, such as land use and climate change. Forest ecosystems and landscapes have been particularly affected in mountainous regions due to limited management and stewardship, especially in remote areas. Therefore, there is a need to set up new strategies to enhance ecosystem services in forested areas which, in turn, will benefit local communities and economies. In this study, we implemented a new approach—Multiscale Mapping of Ecosystem Services (MIMOSE)—to assess ecosystem services in Mediterranean forests located in a mountainous region of Italy. We spatially assessed timber provision and carbon sequestrati…
The Relationship between Knowledge Characteristics’ Fit and Job Satisfaction and Job Performance: The Mediating Role of Work Engagement
2020
Knowledge workers are highly valued by organizations, but there is a lack of evidence about the role of work engagement in the satisfaction and performance of these workers. Harmonization and Person&ndash
Inspiriting Innovation: The Effects of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) on Innovative Behavior as Mediated by Mindfulness and Work Engagement
2021
Continuous innovation has become a key to gaining a sustainable competitive advantage for organizations in the 21st century. By focusing on the underlying mechanisms (i.e., mindfulness and work engagement) by which it works, this study addresses the quality of leader–member relationships and their relevance for innovation in the workplace. Using a sample of 210 employees from 17 Spanish companies, a two-wave longitudinal design evaluated the mediational roles of mindfulness and engagement between leader–member exchange (LMX) quality and innovative work behavior (IWB) in an organizational context. Over the course of a year, two questionnaires were administered to measure LMX quality, mindful…
The role of personal and relative job performance in promotion decisions
2021
This study employs personnel data from a large university to examine how supervisors utilize information on employees' job performance in promotion decisions. The study shows that better-performing employees are rewarded with promotions as a higher output of peer-reviewed publications and better quality of research output are associated with a higher probability of being promoted. The study also shows that supervisors compare their subordinates' job performance when deciding on promotions: employees who outperform their colleagues in terms of research output and research quality are more likely to be promoted. Subsequently, the study provides evidence to support the key premise of the tourn…
Expansión urbana del Área Metropolitana de Valencia en el periodo 1984-2011 a partir de imágenes Landsat TM y ETM+
2015
La expansión urbana acelerada producida en décadas recientes en las grandes áreas metropolitanas como Valencia conlleva importantes impactos ambientales, entre ellos la impermeabilización o "sellado antropogénico" del suelo y la pérdida de espacios naturales de gran valor paisajístico. Este trabajo analiza la evolución de la cobertura artificial en el Área Metropolitana de Valencia (AMV) en el periodo 1984-2011 a partir de imágenes Landsat TM y ETM+, validadas a partir de datos SIOSE de mayor resolución espacial. Los resultados muestran, con una precisión del 71%, un aumento de la superficie artificial en el AMV de 8000 ha en dicho periodo, lo que supone un incremento del 10% del suelo sell…
Le discours épistémologique des Sciences de l'information et de la communication - Une lecture des Sic depuis la Kommunikationswissenschaft allemande
2014
En 2010, Stefanie Averbeck-Lietz, chercheure en Sciences de la Communication (Kommunikationswissenschaft) et aujourd’hui Professeure a l’Universite de Breme (Allemagne) publie aux editions Avinus son memoire d’Habilitation a Diriger les Recherches consacre aux Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication francaises. Les propos qui suivent resultent des echanges que nous avons pu avoir sur la base de ces travaux et de leur resonance actuelle, Stefanie Averbeck-Lietz ayant elle-meme collabo...
Exploration des enjeux de la demande sociale pour les SIC
2016
Les Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication constituent un terrain d’observation privilégié du débat épistémologique opposant la recherche dite fondamentale à la recherche dite appliquée. Cette opposition produit systématiquement un déclassement qualitatif de la seconde au profit de la première. Nous souhaitons ici discuter de la pertinence même du débat ainsi que de ce déclassement qui en est la conséquence. La question est alors double : nos travaux s’inscrivent-il dans la recherche dite « appliquée » ? Sont-ils en cela moins valables scientifiquement que des recherches pouvant apparaître plus nobles car déconnectées d’une valorisation socio-économique ? En complément des élément…
Brak sprzeczności planu miejscowego ze studium jako jedna z zasad sporządzania planu miejscowego
2022
Zagadnienie relacji między miejscowym planem zagospodarowania przestrzennego a studium uwarunkowań i kierunków zagospodarowania przestrzennego gminy stanowi przedmiot wieloletnich badań przedstawicieli nauki prawa, a także obszernych wypowiedzi sformułowanych w orzecznictwie. Wymóg, by plan miejscowy nie naruszał ustaleń studium, jest wymogiem ustawowym zawartym w przepisach art. 20 ust. 1 w zw. z art. 9 ust. 4 i art. 15 ust. 1 ustawy o planowaniu i zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym. Okoliczność, że w dalszym ciągu dochodzi do unieważnienia uchwał planistycznych w całości lub w części z powodu sprzeczności ze studium, wskazuje na aktualność tej problematyki oraz potrzebę dalszego popularyzowan…
