An intergenerational competency framework : Competencies for knowledge sustainability and start‐up development in the digital age
2022
In this study, we looked at the competencies and changes in the competency spectrum required for global start-ups in the digital age. Specifically, we explored intergenerational collaboration as an intervention in which experienced business-people from senior adult groups support young entrepreneurs. We conducted a Delphi study with 20 experts from different disciplines, considering the study context. The results of this study shed light on understanding the necessary competencies of entrepreneurs for intergenerationally supported start-up innovation by providing 27 competencies categorized as follows: intergenerational safety facilitation, cultural awareness, virtues for growth, effectual …
Comparisons, Categories, and Labels: Investigating the North–South Dichotomy in Europe
2021
The paper presents genealogy-oriented analysis of how the Nordic model gained its dominant characterization as modern, advanced and superior to other European welfare models while Southern European countries came to be labelled laggards in the welfare domain. To illuminate the relational nature of these, and all, comparisons, the analysis accentuates how researchers, politicians, and civil servants alike designate Nordic and Southern European states, their societies, and their welfare models. The empirical analysis focuses on scholarly writings about welfare-state comparisons (1986–2017) and on European Union documents addressing cohesion policies (1986–2021). Analysis of the vocabulary and…
Structure and dynamics in liquid bismuth and Bin clusters: A density functional study
2014
Density functional/molecular dynamics simulations with more than 500 atoms have been performed on liquid bismuth at 573, 773, 923, and 1023 K and on neutral Bi clusters with up to 14 atoms. There are similar structural patterns (coordination numbers, bond angles, and ring patterns) in the liquid and the clusters, with significant differences from the rhombohedral crystalline form. We study the details of the structure (structure factor, pair, and cavity distribution functions) and dynamical properties (vibration frequencies, diffusion constants, power spectra), and compare with experimental results where available. While the three short covalent bonds typical to pnictogens are characteristi…
Short-term responses of Rana arvalis tadpoles to pH and predator stress: adaptive divergence in behavioural and physiological plasticity?
2022
Environmental stress is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in nature. To cope with stress, organisms can adjust through phenotypic plasticity and/or adapt through genetic change. Here, we compared short-term behavioural (activity) and physiological (corticosterone levels, CORT) responses of Rana arvalis tadpoles from two divergent populations (acid origin, AOP, versus neutral origin, NOP) to acid and predator stress. Tadpoles were initially reared in benign conditions at pH 7 and then exposed to a combination of two pH (acid versus neutral) and two predator cue (predator cue versus no predator cue) treatments. We assessed behavioural activity within the first 15 min, an…

Protokoły rozjemców rejencji opolskiej jako źródło do badań życia codziennego na wsi śląskiej od XIX do połowy XX wieku
2017
The acts of arbitration courts, operating in Opole district since 1835, constitute an interesting source for the research of Silesian everyday village life in the nineteenth and twentieth century. The author, after having presented a short outline of the institution and its legal functioning, concentrates on specific cases lodged to peacemakers. The everyday life situations in the protocols present the interpersonal conflicts, usually concerning unimportant things, not being included in the criminal case catalogue. The picture of the village, as shown in the article, is however not an idyllic one. It presents the conflicts, difficult to be found in other historical resources, such as: a tus…

L'obbligazione morale come vincolo di gratuità. Sulle tracce della ratio boni
2017
Il saggio riflette sul fondamento dell'obbligazione morale cercando di mostrare perché essa possa intendersi come vincolo di gratuità. Si prende avvio dalla nozione tomista di legge morale naturale, approfondendo il suo significato nell'orizzonte della razionalità pratica e concentrando l'attenzione sulle implicazioni del principio "bonum faciendum". Emerge come l'uomo sia chiamato a lasciarsi appartenere ad una logica di gratuità che innerva l'actus essendi secondo un intimo convenire del finalismo ontologico e del bene come ricchezza auto-diffusiva.

The aporia of the European myth. How LGBTI+ migrants are stranded in the Italian reception system
2021
Considerando l’aumento di migranti e la tipologia di accoglienza orientata ad un approccio assistenziale standardizzato e omogeneo, il presente articolo indaga gli effetti della preponderanza di un sistema di prima accoglienza, nell’identificazione ed assistenza ai richiedenti asilo SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity). La risposta tempestiva di un apparato di accoglienza basato su un approccio di sopravvivenza a breve termine, tende a ignorare le particolari esigenze dei richiedenti asilo SOGI, e di sottovalutare il rischio di violenza dentro dei centri dalla parte degli altri ospiti. Quindi, questo saggio intende riflettere se, i migranti SOGI sono una categoria vulnerabile per s…
