Selected Determinants of Spatial Differentiation of the Households’ Standards of Living in Poland
2018
The article presents the relationship between the level of socio-economic development and self-esteem for meeting consumer needs in Poland's provinces in 2016. The aim of the research was to determine the strength of the impact of the differentiation of voivodships in Poland due to the level of socio-economic development and consumption on the variety of self-assessment of the financial situation of households. In particular, it was analyzed: differentiation of the level of socio-economic development of the administrative units of the country (voivodships have been adopted), spatial differentiation of selected demographic and economic characteristics of households, self-assessment of the fi…
Poziom rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego jako determinanta przestrzennego zróżnicowania stopnia zaspokojenia potrzeb gospodarstw domowych w Polsce
2018
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących relacji pomiędzy poziomem rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego a poziomem konsumpcji i samooceną zaspokojenia potrzeb konsumentów w województwach w 2015 r. Celem badań było określenie siły wpływu zróżnicowania województw pod względem poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego i konsumpcji na zróżnicowanie samooceny zaspokojenia potrzeb gospodarstw domowych.Analizie poddano zwłaszcza zróżnicowanie poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego województw, przestrzenne zróżnicowanie wybranych charakterystyk demograficznych i ekonomicznych gospodarstw domowych, samoocenę sytuacji materialnej oraz stopnia zaspokojenia wybranych grup potrzeb gospodarstw domowyc…
bbFISH-ing in the sonication fluid
2019
Abstract By 2030, the annual number of combined total hip and knee arthroplasty is estimated to reach 3.5 to 4 million in the US alone. In the context of a constant increase of the number of primary and revision total hip and knee arthroplasty, an increased risk of complication is expected. Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) represent major cause of healthcare expenditure and morbidity. PJI still remain the most common and feared arthroplasty complication. A rapid and correct diagnosis of infection is decisive for a correct therapeutical management. In this setting, the Academic Emergency Hospital Sibiu adopted and implemented, with the beginning of September 2016, a new strategy for the di…
Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility in the e-Economy: A Commentary
2002
The paper addresses the concepts of business ethics and corporate social responsibility in the old vis-à-vis the new economy. The effects of globalization and its impact on the transition from the industrial to the digital era are explored. Although the behaviour of business organizations has always had a profound worldwide impact, with the decline of the nation state economic power has, for the first time, eroded political power. Simultaneously, the undergoing revolution in contemporary information and communication technologies has significantly empowered the customer. Responding to enhanced customer awareness and sensitivity to business and social responsibility issues -coupled with cons…
Applying health promoting sports club standards in the Netherlands
2014
This study explores health promotion activity of Dutch sports clubs by using the Health Promoting Sports Clubs (HPSC) standards, which are developed in Finland and here applied to the Dutch sports context. The standards consist of 23 items which cover different perspectives on health promotion. The standards form an overall HPSC index, which is used to create health promotion profiles for the sports clubs. 17 sports clubs from the municipality of ‘s-Hertogenbosch participated in this study, of which 42 club officials (1-6 per club) evaluated their own club on all HPSC standards on a five-point Likert scale. Per club, the average score on each standard was calculated. The average on the HPSC…
Management of Early Glottic Cancer Treated by CO2 Laser According to Surgical-Margin Status: A Systematic Review of the Literature
2021
Abstract Introduction Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is the treatment of choice for Tis-T2 squamous cell glottic carcinomas due to its advantages compared with open surgery and radiotherapy. However, the CO2 laser beam causes changes and damage on the specimens, making the histological assessment of resection margins, the gold standard for confirming radical tumor resection, sometimes difficult. Objective To assess the different ways to manage patients depending on the status of the histopathological margin according to recent studies to detect the most commonly shared therapeutic strategy. Data Synthesis We analyzed the literature available on the PubMed and Web of Science databases, i…
The induced smoothed LASSO
2016
We propose a new lasso-type estimator of regression coefficients for regression models. Our proposal relies on the recent idea of induced smoothing and leads to estimators with sampling distribution somewhat close to the Normal one, regardless of their true value, along with the corresponding reliable covariance matrix. As a consequence inference (e.g. p-values) may be carried out relatively easily. We present results from some simulation experiments.
Measurement of the Higgs boson coupling with tau leptons and search for an additional neutral MSSM Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector
2018
El Modelo Estándar de física de partículas (SM), la teoría que describe el comportamiento de las partículas subatómicas, ha sido un éxito en su precisión y exactitud. Uno de sus pilares básicos es el mecanismo de Higgs, que regula los términos de masa de las partículas fundamentales. La partícula responsable de este mecanismo es el bosón de Higgs, que fue descubierto en 2012 en los experimentos ATLAS y CMS del colisionador de partículas LHC del CERN, mediante el análisis de su acoplamiento a partículas bosónicas (fotones y bosones W y Z). Tras su descubrimiento, es necesario confirmar que el resto sus propiedades se corresponden con las predichas por el SM, como, por ejemplo, su acoplamient…
Standard testing of photovoltaic modules for use in renewable energy education
2015
A photovoltaic laboratory exercise has been devised and used in the educational curriculum of the Renewable Energy Programme at the University of Jyväskylä. The purpose of the experimental tasks is to give students of renewable energy a good understanding of standard testing procedures used in industry for characterising photovoltaic modules and to provide practical skills in sizing simple photovoltaic installations. Herein the experimental set-up, basic theory and measurement procedure are described. The experimental apparatus is simple to assemble and uses both standard laboratory equipment and recycled components. From the experimental results, the tested PV cell had a maximum efficiency…
