Dealing with viewers’ complaints: Role, visibility and transparency of PSB Ombudsmen in ten European countries

2017

The article shows the results of a comparative analysis of the complaints management mechanisms offered by ten European Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) systems on their corporate websites. Using a qualitative methodology, it maps the procedures and evaluates the visibility, transparency and dissemination of results. The findings show, firstly, great diversity in terms of responsible election and management, despite the converging media governance. Also noteworthy is the margin of substantial improvement in the transparency and dissemination possibilities, specially relating to the interaction offered by the digital environment. Among the ten public corporations analysed, the BBC is the be…

Impacts des réseaux viaires sur les mobilités urbaines : quelques illustrations

2008

This research aims to find the impact of the network shape and structure on the urban mobilities, in order to fight against the automobile dependency and to include the externalities in the network design. Three examples illustrate this objective. The first one shows the influence of the network shape on the pedestrian urban flows. The second one emphasizes how sensitive to the network structure is the efficiency of a very flexible Demand Responsive Transport. The third example demonstrates that the network metric is favourable to the automobile and how it can be possible to apply an alternative metric, called the “slow metric” to reduce the urban sprawling and the automobile dependency.

A two-phase insertion technique of unexpected customers for a dynamic dial-a-ride problem

2006

Abstract This work deals with a dynamic dial-a-ride problem with time window constraints. In particular, new unplanned requests for service may arise at a vehicle stop and the driver must decide in real-time whether to accept or reject them. For this problem, we have developed a two-phase insertion algorithm based on route perturbations: the first phase, which is run off-line when the vehicle moves between two successive stops, aims at creating a feasible neighborhood of the current route; while the second phase, which is run in real-time every time a new request occurs, inserts, when possible, the delivery stop of the new customer in the current route.

Poradnictwa specjalistyczne w pracy socjalnej z jednostką i rodziną po przeżyciu traumatycznym

2020

Czasy, w których przyszło nam żyć, skłaniają nas do zadania pytania, co będzie ze światem po zakończeniu pandemii. Walka z COVID-19 i związane z nią zmiany nie pozostaną bez śladu w umysłach wielu ludzi. Jedni tracą bliskich, których nie mogą pochować; inni żyją w ciągłym strachu o zdrowie i dalsze funkcjonowanie. Świat już nigdy nie będzie taki sam. Ludzie już nigdy nie będą tacy sami, jak przed tym traumatycznym wydarzeniem. Niewidzialny wróg, którym jest koronawirus, na długo zostawi ślad w ich pamięci. Wielu będzie potrzebowało wsparcia, z którym może przyjść poradnictwo specjalistyczne. Długo będą borykać się z traumą, która uniemożliwi im powrót do „normalności”. Za traumatyczne przeż…

"Aby wszędzie być i wszystko widzieć". Doświadczanie miejsc i siebie w trakcie górskich podróży. Relacje Ślązaków

2015

“To be everywhere” and “see everything” is a declaration by Father Euzebiusz Franciszek Stateczny, a well-known Silesian writer from the turn of the 20th century, and an extraordinary monk and tenacious traveller, who in a true positivist fashion valued the truth about the world based on one’s own experience. By outlining a comprehensive need to get to know the world, Stateczny acted as a cosmographer, which prompted the author of the article to try to establish whether this declaration also applied to other travellers from the region and how this completeness was supposed to be expressed. The author’s overview of Silesian accounts of trips to the mountains (by Karol Miarka, Rev Antoni Stab…

User Preference and Channels Use in the Employment Seeking Process

Trust is a major issue for social capital theory and the word- of mouth concept. This paper compares social network sites with other media under consideration of trust and support. The research evaluates the difference between sources regarding trust and support to explain the situation of social network sites under consideration of the employment seeking process. The aim of this paper is the evaluation of the use of social network sites and private social networks by comparing these with job boards, company information, newspaper and official employment agency web pages. It is to identify the possible differences between information channels and the reasons for the use of different sources…

An Automatic Method for Assessing Spiking of Tibial Tubercles Associated with Knee Osteoarthritis

2022

Efficient and scalable early diagnostic methods for knee osteoarthritis are desired due to the disease’s prevalence. The current automatic methods for detecting osteoarthritis using plain radiographs struggle to identify the subjects with early-stage disease. Tibial spiking has been hypothesized as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Previous research has demonstrated an association between knee osteoarthritis and tibial spiking, but the connection to the early-stage disease has not been investigated. We study tibial spiking as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, we develop a deep learning based model for detecting tibial spiking from plain radiographs. We collected an…

Is personality related to permanent earnings? Evidence using a twin design

2018

Using twin survey combined with register-based panel data on labor market outcomes, the authors examine the association between personality characteristics and long-term earnings among prime working-age individuals. The long-term earnings were measured over the 1990–2008 period. The sample contains 4,642 twin pairs, of which 53% are females. In contrast to previous studies, this paper uses the within-twin dimension of the data to control for shared family background and confounding genetic factors. The results suggest that unobserved genetic differences may introduce omitted variable bias in standard ordinary least square results. After controlling for shared environment and genetic backgro…
