Institutional individualism and institutional change: the search for a middle way mode of explanation
2001
After noting the lack of enthusiasm of several well-known scholars concerning the adoption of both methodological holism and methodological individualism in its several versions, this paper shows that institutional individualism is a different mode of explanation from both of these and also that it is not the same thing as the so-called Popperian programme of situational analysis. Institutional individualism is a mode of explanation that yields non-systemic and non-reductionist explanations at the same time as it allows for the incorporation into economic theories and models of the many formal and informal institutional aspects surrounding all human interactions, whether these interactions …
Materialities in supported housing for people with mental health problems : a blurry picture of the tenants
2020
Our daily lives and sense of self are partly formed by material surroundings that are often taken for granted. This materiality is also important for people with mental health problems living in supported housing with surroundings consisting of different healthcare services, neighbourhoods, buildings or furniture. In this study, we explored how understandings of tenants are expressed in the materialities of supported housing. We conducted ethnographic fieldwork in seven different supported accommodations in Norway and analysed the resultant field notes, interviews, photographs and documents using Situational Analysis. The analysis showed that supported housing materialities expressed a blur…
Emergency Analysis: Multitask Learning with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Fire Emergency Scene Parsing
2021
In this paper, we introduce a novel application of using scene semantic image segmentation for fire emergency situation analysis. To analyse a fire emergency scene, we propose to use deep convolutional image segmentation networks to identify and classify objects in a scene based on their build material and their vulnerability to catch fire. We introduce our own fire emergency scene segmentation dataset for this purpose. It consists of real world images with objects annotated on the basis of their build material. We use state-of-the-art segmentation models: DeepLabv3, DeepLabv3+, PSPNet, FCN, SegNet and UNet to compare and evaluate their performance on the fire emergency scene parsing task. …
The Swot Model and the Role of These Activities to the Training of the Future Specialists in Expertise and Quality Control of Milk and Dairy Products
2014
Abstract The present drafts regarding the quality of milk and dairy products, define it as a controlled act of creation with known accuracy that can be reached by applying constitutive control systems of the processing technologies that are present in all proceeding phases of the product. In order to achieve the purpose and to apply it in the production process by students – future specialist, we use as a teaching-learning technique the SWOT Analyze. The SWOT analysis is an efficient method that is used in the teaching technique, especially when planning the strategy in order to identify the potentials and the priorities.
PROBLEM ITEMS OF FINANCIAL LITERACY ASSESMENT FOR STUDENTS IN LATVIA
2020
Considering the financial situation in Latvia it is very important not only to realize how effectively students could deal with situations relating to financial issues, but to understand what kind of PISA Financial items exactly bring difficulties. It is necessary to realize how to improve students’ financial literacy. The main of the research is to find out what kind of PISA 2018 financial items are difficult for students and which students’ answers are marked as incorrect. To reach the aim the methods of content analysis. The research data show that students are very good at dealing with tasks similar to their everyday situations and requiring mathematical skills. In their turn, tasks rel…
