Intellectual Capital and its Relationship with Universities
2015
Abstract The Intellectual Capital of a firm is the sum total of its Human Capital, Structural Capital and Relational Capital. These assets form a source of distinct competitive advantage and distinguish the performance of one firm from the other. Some organizations appear to continue relying on traditional resources for wealth creation but they should increase their attention towards a greater reliance on intellectual capital factors. This study attempts to investigate the role of intellectual capital in nowadays modern organizations and in particular, its relevance for education institutions such as universities.
Insights into the agency, positioning and development of professional Finnish language skills of international nursing students
2016
This article focuses on international students studying in an English-mediated nursing degree program in Finland. From sociocognitive and ecological perspectives, this study examines the development of the students’ professional Finnish language skills and agency during their practical training. In addition, this article explores how students are positioned as capable workers. To shed light on the students’ professional language skills, agency, and positionings, interviews with vocational teachers, head nurses, and two international nursing students are examined using narrative analysis. The findings suggest that due to their lack of Finnish language skills, international students are posit…

An experiment to study the structure of the focal volume in apertured focusing systems
2001
We present a simple experiment, specifically designed for students of undergraduate optics courses, where the influence of an aperture stop position on the three-dimensional structure of the focal volume of focusing systems is studied. The experiment, which involves only simple optical elements, permits an undergraduate student to generate different focal structures by simply axially displacing the aperture stop.
Applied Intertemporal Optimization
2009
This textbook provides all tools required to easily solve intertemporal optimization problems in economics, finance, business administration and related disciplines. The focus of this textbook is on 'learning through examples' and gives a very quick access to all methods required by an undergraduate student, a PhD student and an experienced researcher who wants to explore new fields or confirm existing knowledge. Given that discrete and continuous time problems are given equal attention, insights gained in one area can be used for learning solutions methods more quickly in other contexts. This step-by-step approach is especially useful for the transition from deterministic to stochastic wor…
Les études supérieures, un actif de valeur ?
2018
This article deals with the current student funding policy in England. This policy is founded on the continuing development of fees, grants, and loans. The article analyzes the ideas that fuel this type of policy and its state -regulated public accounting. It illustrates the emergence and development of a form of public management and commodification of state assets
Apprendenti universitari e profili di competenza nella scrittura accademica
2021
Nell'ambito delle ricerche sulle competenze linguistiche degli studenti universitari in Italia, il contributo indaga le pratiche di comunicazione scritta e le relative difficoltà espresse da studenti di un corso di recupero OFA in corsi di laurea triennale. L'indagine è parte di un progetto di rilevazione più ampio ed è stata realizzata somministrando un questionario informatizzato. I dati raccolti permettono di sviluppare alcune riflessioni utili sul profilo linguistico-comunicativo di apprendenti dalle competenze definite "fragili"; la loro autorappresentazione in termini di biografia linguistica; i bisogni linguistico-comunicativi espressi in rapporto ai compiti di scrittura, e il senso …

Online Meetings in Times of Global Crisis: Toward Sustainable Conferencing
2020
International conferences are an essential component of the timely exchange of ideas and results in the scientific community, where scientists present their results, gain new insights, and meet colleagues and collaborators. In early 2020, a global pandemic caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the corresponding disease (covid-19) resulted in a number of conferences being canceled or postponed. (1) To foster scientific exchange despite the restrictions, a range of initiatives were launched across the globe to move international conferences online. (2−8) [...]
