Innovation among SMEs in Finland: The impact of stakeholder engagement and firm-level characteristics
2021
PURPOSE: The aim of the paper is to analyse the importance of both internal capabilities (resources) and external information sources in implementing product, process, marketing and organizational innovations aiming to maximize firm competitive advantage and create value for stakeholders. Furthermore, in particular, we examine the role of public organizations, business networks, firm size, and the industry sector, in the emergence of different types of product, process, marketing, and organizational innovations. The research was based on the typology of innovation (product, process, marketing, and organizational) adopted by the OECD. METHODOLOGY: The paper is based on data from 389 SMEs loc…

Curial e Güelfa i Boccaccio: influències lingüístiques
2013
Resum: La critica ha trobat al Curial e Guelfa petges molt evidents d’influencia de la literatura italiana, i en particular de Boccaccio. Tanmateix no ha estat estudiada una altra influencia italiana, la purament lingu?istica. Un estudi detingut del Curial ha permes identificar a l’obra nombrosos elements que mostren la seua origen italiana. Molts d’aquests elements es troben presents a les obres de Boccaccio, concretament en el Decameron. Per cada element identificat al Curial s’ofereixen exemples de les obres de Boccaccio. Paraules clau: Curial e Guelfa ; Boccaccio; italianismes; influencia; catala Abstract: Several scholars have found in Curial e Guelfa very clear traces of influence of …
Optimising an outdoor membrane photobioreactor for tertiary sewage treatment
2019
[EN] The operation of an outdoor membrane photobioreactor plant which treated the effluent of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor was optimised. Biomass retention times of 4.5, 6, and 9 days were tested. At a biomass retention time of 4.5 days, maximum nitrogen recovery rate:light irradiance ratios, photosynthetic efficiencies and carbon biofixations of 51.7¿±¿14.3¿mg¿N·mol¿1, 4.4¿±¿1.6% and 0.50¿±¿0.05¿kg CO2·m3influent, respectively, were attained. Minimum membrane fouling rates were achieved when operating at the shortest biomass retention time because of the lower solid concentration and the negligible amount of cyanobacteria and protozoa. Hydraulic retention times of 3.5, 2, and 1.5 days …
Gaismas leksika Homēra eposā “Īliada”
2016
Bakalaura darbā “Gaismas leksika Homēra Īliādā’’ tika izpētīta gaismu apzīmējošā leksika ar mērķi noteikt tās lietojuma funkcijas. Gaismas leksika ir vārdu kopums, kuru izmantojot kā māksliniecisko izteiksmes līdzekļu veidošanas rīku, Homērs panāk “Īliādā” aprakstīto ainu un priekšmetu atainojumu ilustrācijas. Gaisma ir vērtīgs parādību avots, no kura smeļoties leksiku ir iespējams aprakstīt lietas tiešajā un pārnestajā nozīmē, piemēram, izteikt rakstura izcilību, ārējā izskata skaistumu, priekšmetu skaistumu, emociju izpausmes. Pētījuma gaitā tika izpētīts gaismas leksiski semantiskais lauks grieķu valodā, ir nosauktas tās lietojuma pamatfunkcijas, kā arī ir izpētīti mūsdienu leksikoloģija…

Pētījuma mērķis: izpētīt pozitīvas komunikācijas nozīmi sociāli emocionālo prasmju attīstīšanā ar bērniem ar jauktiem attīstības traucējumiem. 1. nodaļā tiek analizēta teorētiskā literatūra par bērnu ar jauktiem attīstības traucējumiem pedagoģiski psiholoģisko raksturojumu kopveselumā un sociāli emocinālā attīstība 5-6.g.v bērniem ar jauktiem attīstības traucējumiem. 2.nodaļā tiek aplūkota komunikācijas jēdziena būtība un raksturojums, komun…
Continuous 3-year outdoor operation of a flat-panel membrane photobioreactor to treat effluent from an anaerobic membrane bioreactor
2020
[EN] A membrane photobioreactor (MPBR) plant was operated continuously for 3 years to evaluate the separate effects of different factors, including: biomass and hydraulic retention times (BRT, HRT), light path (Lp), nitrification rate (NOxR), nutrient loading rates (NLR, PLR) and others. The overall effect of all these parameters which influence MPBR performance had not previously been assessed. The multivariate projection approach chosen for this study provided a good description of the collected data and facilitated their visualisation and interpretation. Forty variables used to control and assess MPBR performance were evaluated during three years of continuous outdoor operation by means …
Improving membrane photobioreactor performance by reducing light path: operating conditions and key performance indicators
2020
[EN] Microalgae cultivation has been receiving increasing interest in wastewater remediation due to their ability to assimilate nutrients present in wastewater streams. In this respect, cultivating microalgae in membrane photobioreactors (MPBRs) allows decoupling the solid retention time (SRT) from the hydraulic retention time (HRT), which enables to increase the nutrient load to the photobioreactors (PBRs) while avoiding the wash out of the microalgae biomass. The reduction of the PBR light path from 25 to 10 cm increased the nitrogen and phosphorus recovery rates, microalgae biomass productivity and photosynthetic efficiency by 150, 103, 194 and 67%, respectively.The areal biomass product…
Nitrite inhibition of microalgae induced by the competition between microalgae and nitrifying bacteria
2020
[EN] Outdoor microalgae cultivation systems treating anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) effluents usually present ammonium oxidising bacteria (AOB) competition with microalgae for ammonium uptake, which can cause nitrite accumulation. In literature, nitrite effects over microalgae have shown controversial results. The present study evaluates the nitrite inhibition role in a microalgae-nitrifying bacteria culture. For this purpose, pilot- and lab-scale assays were carried out. During the continuous outdoor operation of the membrane photobioreactor (MPBR) plant, biomass retention time (BRT) of 2 d favoured AOB activity, which caused nitrite accumulation. This nitrite was confirmed to inhib…
