The Future of Technology in Positive Psychology: Methodological Advances in the Science of Well-Being
2018
Advances in biotechnology and information technology are poised to transform well-being research. This article reviews the technologies that we predict will have the most impact on both measurement and intervention in the field of positive psychology over the next decade. These technologies include: psychopharmacology, non-invasive brain stimulation, virtual reality environments, and big-data methods for large-scale multivariate analysis. Some particularly relevant potential costs and benefits to individual and collective well-being are considered for each technology as well as ethical considerations. As these technologies may substantially enhance the capacity of psychologists to intervene…
Learning English through and for singing : learner experiences of the interrelation of music and language
2015
Kielen ja musiikin yhtäläisyydet ja eroavaisuudet ovat herättäneet mielenkiintoa viime vuosina niin neurotieteiden, psykologian, musiikkitieteiden, kuin kielitieteidenkin parissa. Koska kieli ja musiikki ovat molemmat kommunikaation välineitä, on luonnollisesti kiinnostavaa tutkia, millaisia yhtäläisyyksiä tai eroavaisuuksia niiden prosessoiminen sisältää. Näitä samankaltaisuuksia on sitten pyritty hyödyntämään useilla eri osa-alueilla, yhtenä niistä kielenoppimisessa. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli luoda katsaus klassisen laulajan kielenoppimiseen: ammatin asettamiin kielellisiin vaatimuksiin, sekä oppimisen haasteisiin ja etuihin. Tutkimuksella oli kaksi tavoitetta: niistä ensimmäisen…
Integrated Administration of the Organizations Informational Resources
2007
Organizations grow and develop continuosly and information volume grows in the same rythm, which makes from improvement or changing the old counting systems an imperative. More and more companies, instead of continuing to invest in small applications choose integrated informational solutions, which are adapted to the user’s daily needsfrom, all decisional levels. Although apparently profitable from the costs point of view, small applications assure only the simple economical solutions between clients, partners, furnisors, and employees. For high business volume companies, this kind of applications become useless in a short time, fact that involves extra sustained investitions
Health Behavior, Health Promotion, and the Transition to Parenthood : Insights from Research in Health Psychology and Behavior Change
2019
The transition to parenthood represents a period of considerable change. Much of the change is positive as parents experience the inherent emotional and social benefits of becoming a parent. However, it is also a period of considerable challenge and stress, which can have deleterious effects on health and well-being. Increased demands of caring for an infant can lead to loss of sleep, limited ‘leisure’ time, restrictions on social life, and difficulties in managing ‘work-life’ balance. In addition, the disruption and time demand lead to parents ‘falling out’ of health habits. Parents also have new responsibilities to care for the health of their child, and socialize them into healthy habits…
Protocol for a participatory survey to investigate the long-term effectiveness of adult psychiatric services (PSILEAPS) : a prospective exploratory c…
2022
Mental health research and practice is currently moving beyond a focus on group-level symptom reduction models. Hence, research and treatment increasingly emphasize the real-life individual needs of service users and their social networks. One example is the Open Dialogue approach (OD), which has demonstrated promising outcomes in the Finnish Western Lapland (WL) catchment area. Nevertheless, it is unclear how OD-based services have so far been maintained in WL. It is also unclear how the experiences of multi-disciplinary care teams, service users and their social network members differ, with regard to differing approaches to mental health treatment. More generally, there is a global need f…
Umowa o udzielenie zamówienia na świadczenia zdrowotne
2018
Umowa o udzielenie zamówienia na świadczenia zdrowotne, potocznie często rozumiana jako kontrakt, znajduje wyłączne zastosowanie w sektorze ochrony zdrowia. Umowa ta stanowi podstawę świadczenia pracy (usług) przez personel medyczny w podmiotach leczniczych, która aktualnie jest już utrwaloną formą angażu przede wszystkim lekarzy i pielęgniarek, którzy decydują się na wykonywanie swojego zawodu w formie praktyki zawodowej. Problematyka zamówienia na udzielanie w określonym zakresie świadczeń zdrowotnych stanowi przedmiot ustawy o działalności leczniczej. Pełna nazwa tej umowy nie jest wprawdzie określana przez ustawę, lecz analiza treściowa art. 26-27 przywołanej ustawy pozwala na jej wypro…
Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Aorta Diseases as a Source of Potential Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets, with a Particular Focus on Ascend…
2022
Aorta diseases, such as ascending aorta aneurysm (AsAA), are complex pathologies, currently defined as inflammatory diseases with a strong genetic susceptibility. They are difficult to manage, being insidious and silent pathologies whose diagnosis is based only on imaging data. No diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers or markers of outcome have been known until now. Thus, their identification is imperative. Certainly, a deep understanding of the mechanisms and pathways involved in their pathogenesis might help in such research. Recently, the key role of oxidative stress (OS) on the pathophysiology of aorta disease has emerged. Here, we describe and discuss these aspects by revealing some OS …
Praca zdalna jako element koncepcji inteligentnego miasta
2020
Z powodu postępującej na świecie urbanizacji i stale ujawniających się wraz z nią kryzysów można zaobserwować ogromne zainteresowanie koncepcją smart city. W praktyce miejskiej ma ona charakter wielowymiarowy i dotyczy zarówno wykorzystywania nowoczesnych rozwiązań technologicznych, jak i ekorozwoju miast. Ponadto aktualna ogólnoświatowa sytuacja wywołana pandemią koronawirusa spowodowała, że nie tylko przedsiębiorstwa borykają się z problemami zachowania ciągłości zatrudnienia, przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu wszelkich rygorów sanitarnych w celu zapewnienia bezpiecznych miejsc pracy. Problem ten dotknął również administrację publiczną, która zobowiązana jest do nieprzerwanego funkcjonowania. …
A full economic evaluation of extensive vaccination against rotavirus with RIX4414 vaccine at National and Regional level in Italy

IL RETROFIT ENERGETICO. L'EDILIZIA RESIDENZIALE POST-BELLICA DI PALERMO
2015
Il patrimonio edilizio italiano è composto principalmente da costruzioni realizzate nel secondo dopoguerra, quando la speculazione economica e l'urbanizzazione hanno prodotto edifici con caratteristiche di scarsa qualità architettonica ed energetica. Agire sul rendimento energetico degli edifici esistenti, adattandoli alle caratteristiche richieste dalla normativa, a parità di condizioni di comfort, rappresenta una strategia importante per la riduzione dei consumi energetici e per la tutela dell'ambiente. Attraverso l'applicazione di tecnologie e metodologie innovative e la scelta di investimenti adeguati, il retrofit energetico può rappresentare oggi la principale opportunità di crescita i…
