The Effects of the Value-Added Tax on Revenue and Inequality
2019
This paper examines the impact of the introduction of the value-added tax on inequality and government revenues using newly released macro data. We present both conventional country fixed effect regressions and instrumental variable analyses, where VAT adoption is instrumented using the previous values of neighbouring countries’ VAT systems as an instrument. The results reveal – in contrast to earlier work – that the revenue consequences of the VAT have not been positive. The results indicate that income-based inequality has increased due to the VAT adoption, whereas consumption inequality has remained unaffected. Peer reviewed
On the mechanism of imine elimination from Fischer tungsten carbene complexes
2016
(Aminoferrocenyl)(ferrocenyl)carbene(pentacarbonyl)tungsten(0) (CO)5W=C(NHFc)Fc (W(CO)5(E-2)) is synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of the ethoxy group of (CO)5W=C(OEt)Fc (M(CO)5(1Et)) by ferrocenyl amide Fc-NH– (Fc = ferrocenyl). W(CO)5(E-2) thermally and photochemically eliminates bulky E-1,2-diferrocenylimine (E-3) via a formal 1,2-H shift from the N to the carbene C atom. Kinetic and mechanistic studies to the formation of imine E-3 are performed by NMR, IR and UV–vis spectroscopy and liquid injection field desorption ionization (LIFDI) mass spectrometry as well as by trapping experiments for low-coordinate tungsten complexes with triphenylphosphane. W(CO)5(E-2) decays thermally i…
Effects of Physical Activity, Smoking and Alcohol Consumption on Quality of Life of Students in Continuous Education Centers
2013
Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν να διερευνηθούν οι επιδράσεις ορισμένων συμπεριφορών υγείας, όπως η άσκηση, το κάπνισμα και η κατανάλωση αλκοόλ στην ποιότητα ζωής ενηλίκων που βρίσκονται σε εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία. Το δείγμα της έρευνας ήταν 363 ενήλικες, (Μ.Ο. ηλικίας = 41.86, Τ.Α. = 11.42 έτη) που παρακολουθούσαν προγράμματα επιμόρφωσης, σε Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης Ενηλίκων (ΚΕΕ). Χρησιμοποι- ήθηκαν ερωτηματολόγια για να καταγραφούν το κάπνισμα σε καθημερινή βάση, η κατανάλωση αλκοόλ σε εβδομαδιαία βάση, καθώς και η φυσική δραστηριότητα. Για την αξιολόγηση της ποιότητας ζωής χρησιμο- ποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο SF-36. Για τη στατιστική ανάλυση χρησιμοποιήθηκαν αναλύσεις παλινδρόμη- σης. Βρέθηκ…
La preservación del favor filii en supuestos de ruptura de la convivencia de los acogedores, tutores o guardadores del menor
2021
Cuando la guarda del menor por parte de los progenitores no es posible y esta es atribuida de forma conjunta a dos personas convivientes que posteriormente cesan dicha convivencia, resulta necesario determinar cuál de ellas va a ejercer a partir de ese momento las funciones inherentes a dicha guarda. Las posibles soluciones dependerán de si se trata de un supuesto de acogimiento, de tutela o de siempre guarda. When care of the child by the parents is not possible and is attributed jointly to two people living together who subsequently stop living together, it is necessary to determine which of them will exercise the functions inherent to the care from that moment on. The possible solutions …
The effect of a failure and submaximal blood flow restriction resistance exercise protocol on changes in muscle size, strength and swelling
2016
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Introduction: Blood flow restricted resistance exercise (BFRRE) can induce rapid increases in muscle size, strength and swelling. No previous research has investigated the importance of conducting BFRRE to voluntary failure and few studies has been carried out to investigate associations between swelling and muscle size. Therefore, the aim of the present study was twofold (1) compare changes in muscle size and strength between a failure (FA) and submaximal (SU) BFRRE protocol (2) investigate associations between swelling and muscle size. Methods: Seventeen untrained men had their legs randomized to FA and SU protocols. The interv…
Nadprzyrodzony charakter Pisma Świętego w nauczaniu Ojców Kościoła na przykładzie Orygenesa. Przyczynek do badań nad egzegezą patrystyczną
2015
What distinguishes the biblical books of Sacred Scripture from other compositions and works of literature is undoubtedly its supernatural character described in theology as inspiration. Still, the reflction of numerous centuries,beginning from the Church Fathers, has been necessary to formulate this specifi quantity of the biblical text as well as explain and classify it into proper categories corresponding with the contents of Sacred Scripture. A unique and unrepeatable role in this process was played by Origen, a priest and exegete of the turn of 2nd and 3 rd centuries, who among through his works paved the way for theology in reading Sacred Scripture as the genuine Word of God, respected…
Perceived need to increase physical activity levels among adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes. A cross-sectional analysis within a community-based…
2012
Background. Increased physical activity is a cornerstone of type 2 diabetes prevention. The perception of a need to change is considered essential in behaviour change processes. However, the existing literature on individuals' perceived need to change health behaviour is limited. In order to improve understanding of diabetes prevention through increased physical activity levels (PAL), we assessed factors associated with perceiving a need to increase PAL among adults at high risk of diabetes. Methods. Opportunistic screening was used within a primary-care based lifestyle intervention covering 10 149 men and women at high risk of type 2 diabetes. Data were obtained at baseline visits. Th…
Personal use of technology at work : a literature review and a theoretical model for understanding how it affects employee job performance
2021
Employee personal use of technology at work (PUTW)—defined as employees’ activities using organisational or personal IT resources for non-work-related purposes while at work—is increasingly common in organisations. Our review of existing PUTW studies (n = 137) suggests that previous studies widely discussed PUTW outcomes, antecedents, and policies. The literature review also indicates that previous studies have proposed opposing viewpoints regarding the effect of PUTW on employee job performance, but few studies offered empirical evidence. Consequently, the conditions under which PUTW can increase or decrease employee job performance have not been discussed. We develop a theoretical model (…

2017
TIIVISTELMÄ Knaappila, R. 2017. TRE -harjoittelulla rentoutta ja mielen rauhaa – unihäiriöitä potevien työikäisten kokemuksia TRE -harjoittelusta (Tension releasing exercises) ja nukkumisesta. Liikuntatieteellinen tiedekunta, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Terveyskasvatuksen pro gradu -tutkielma, 64 s., 3 liitettä. Unettomuus on maailmanlaajuinen ilmiö, joka vaikuttaa haitallisesti terveyteen ja elämänlaatuun. Joka kolmas työikäinen suomalainen kärsii tilapäisestä unettomuudesta ja kymmenesosalla esiintyy kroonista unettomuutta. Unettomuuden Käypä hoito -suosituksen (2015) mukaan uniongelmiin on tärkeä löytää muita ratkaisuja kuin unilääkkeet, joilla on haitallisia sivuvaikutuksia sekä yhteys lisään…
Protective and Educational Effects of Physical Activity Practice on Mental Health in Young Age during COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
Background: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have modified the lifestyle of young people, worsening their mental health. Although some countries were allowed to practice outdoor physical activity (PA) in cases of lockdown, the PA level in the general population decreased. The current study aims to assess the differences in fear of COVID-19, anxiety, neuroticism, and general self-efficacy between university students who practiced PA during the second wave of lockdown and those who did not practice any PA. Methods: The sample consisted of 276 university students (176 females, 63.8%; mean age: 22.13, SD: ±3.94) who answered an online questionnaire detecting life habits …
