Estimation of Mediterranean crops evapotranspiration by means of remote-sensing based models
2009
Abstract. Actual evapotranspiration from typical Mediterranean crops has been assessed in a Sicilian study area by using Surface Energy Balance and Agro-Hydrological models. Both modelling approaches require remotely sensed data to estimate evapotranspiration fluxes in a spatially distributed way. The first approach exploits visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR) and thermal (TIR) observations to solve the surface energy balance equation. To this end two different schemes have been tested: the two-sources TSEB model, where soil and vegetation components of the surface energy balance are treated separately, and the widely used one-source SEBAL model, where soil and vegetation are considered as a…
Self‐Directed Learning in Creative Activity : An Ethnographic Study in Technology‐Based Work
2020
Under conditions of rapid changes in working life, there is an urgent need to examine the nature of creativity and learning in organizations. The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of self‐directed learning (SDL) practices in creative activity in technology‐based work. We focus on both individual and collective practices but also on the importance of organizational culture. The data consist of 46 interviews and observational field notes collected from participating organizations. Thematic and ethnographic analyses were utilized as tools to reveal the nature of SDL in creative activity. We found three themes describing of the nature of SDL in creative activity: a combination of …
Are mandatory non-financial disclosures credible? Evidence from Italian listed companies
2020
According to the Directive 2014/95/EU on non‐financial information (NFI), from 2017 onwards, large companies of member states must provide social, environmental, and governance disclosures. This paper, focusing on the evaluation of the credibility of NFI in Italy after the implementation of the EU Directive, aims to investigate whether making non‐financial disclosures (NFDs) obligatory affect their credibility. From a theoretical perspective of material legitimacy theory, we investigated the NFDs of the 31 FTSE MIB Italian listed companies for the 2017 fiscal year. Through a meaning‐oriented content analysis, we developed a self‐constructed credibility index applying an operational framewor…
Anthropocentrism versus Ecocentrism Revisited: Theoretical Confusions and Practical Conclusions
2013
One of the hardest questions in environmental philosophy is the debate between anthropocentric and ecocentric accounts of value. I argue that a great deal of the disagreement in this debate arises from a) misunderstanding of the concepts used in the debate and b) unfruitful reading of vaguely framed arguments. The conceptual and argumentative analysis of the debate shows that many arguments can be ignored as they either contain conceptual confusion or concern issues that are actually irrelevant to the centrism division. However, there are arguments that maintain their relevance, and these arguments have important consequences on the practical environmental ethics. Hence, contrary to Bryan G…
Supporting parents of children with chronic conditions: A randomized controlled trial of web-based and self-help ACT interventions
2021
Objective Many parents of children with chronic conditions and developmental disabilities experience high rates of burnout and psychological distress. The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of two differently delivered interventions based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on symptoms of burnout, depression, quality of life, psychological flexibility, and mindfulness skills. Method A total of 110 parents of children aged 0.8 to 17 years with chronic conditions and developmental disabilities participated in a randomized controlled trial lasting 13 weeks with two intervention groups: (1) an iACT intervention, including three psychologist-led video conferencing session…

"Internet on elämä" - vai onko sittenkään? : lasten kuvauksia internetin käytöstään
2014
Oksanen, Maria. ”Internet on elämä.” – Vai onko sittenkään? LASTEN KUVAUKSIA INTERNETIN KÄYTÖSTÄÄN. Kasvatustieteen pro gradu -tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopis-ton opettajankoulutuslaitos, 2014. 77 sivua. Julkaisematon. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli saada selville kuudesluokkalaisten lasten arjen internetkäyt-töä ja sitä, millaisena internet heille näyttäytyy. Tutkimusote oli laadullinen ja aineisto koostui 39 samassa koulussa opiskelevan kuudesluokkalaisen miellekartta- ja esseevastauk-sista, jotka analysoitiin teorialähtöisesti, -sisällönanalyysiä ja kvantifiointia hyödyntäen. Sisällönanalyysiä käyttäen vastauksista koottiin kaksi teemaa ja teemoja kokoava miellekartta. Teemojen sisällä oli …

Itsensä brändääminen työhaastattelussa : työnhakijan strateginen valinta erottautua kilpailijoista
2015
Jatkuva muutosherkkyys ja talouden taantuma ovat johtaneet kilpailun kovenemiseen työmarkkinoilla. Alati muuttuva toimintaympäristö sekä heikko taloudellinen tilanne karsii jatkuvasti työpaikkoja joka alalta. Olemassa olevista työpaikoista käydään kovaa kamppailua työnhakijoiden keskuudessa. Menestyminen työnhaussa vaatii uudenlaisia ratkaisuja. On pystyttävä erottautumaan muista työnhakijoista. Tässä tutkimuksessa on tarkasteltu työnhakijoiden tapaa brändätä itseään työhaastattelussa. Sen lisäksi on haluttu selvittää minkälaisia tapoja brändäämiseen sisältyy ja, millä tavalla työnhakijat arvioivat brändäämisen onnistumista. Itsensä brändääminen on melko uusi käsite, minkä vuoksi tutkimukse…
