Sustainability Perspectives in Organizational and Workplace Learning Studies
2022
The association between sustainability and learning in organizations and workplaces represents a current articulated grand challenge for human resource development (HRD) and learning studies and practice, which calls for integrated inquiries. However, studies of learning in organizations and workplaces deal with sustainability in scattered and diverse ways that promote calls for more integrated understandings of the different approaches and associations. This article outlines the results from a scoping thematic review mapping out leading perspectives within the research fields of HRD, organizational learning (OL) and workplace learning (WPL). This article thus explores the perspectives that…
How Organizational Resources and Managerial Features Affect Business Performance: An Analysis in the Greek Wine Industry
2023
Despite the growing interest of the wine industry in quality and environmental certifications and the influence of these standards on positioning in international markets, scholarly research has paid proportionally limited attention to the link between winery export intensity and the adoption of internationally recognized standards. This study aims to analyze which factors make an organizational model performant, and to verify the impact of the adoption of third-party certifications on the export performance by using the resource-based view (RBV) theory as a theoretical lens. Findings show that younger wineries are more oriented towards the adoption of voluntary quality and environmental ce…
Organy w kościołach diecezji świdnickiej. Budowa nowych instrumentów i działania konserwatorskie w latach 2004-2014
2016
The Diocese of Świdnica has existed since 2004. So far, only one pipe organ has been built in its territory. In 2005 the Wrocław-based Cynar company performed the installation of a 38-voice instrument with an electronic action for the Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross in Kłodzko. For its construction the company used the organ of a deconsecrated church in Germany, i.e. St. Peter’s Church in Frankfurt am Main. In other newly-built churches electronic instruments have been installed, mainly for financial reasons. Since the diocese was founded 10 years ago, 25 instruments have undergone thorough renovation. An important event was the general renovation of the 50-voice organ in the basi…
Microsurgery and external fixation in orthoplastic reconstruction of tibial injuries.
2019
"Orthoplastics" is a relatively new approach to lower limb reconstruction, where an integration of both plastic and orthopedic expertise is required, together with the availability of well-equipped facilities. Acute shortening and long-term frames for lengthening are generally considered alternatives to length preservation and soft tissue microsurgical reconstruction, but an integration of external fixation and reconstructive microsurgery is gaining an increasing role with refinements of joint approaches.Data on sixteen patients who underwent microsurgical lower limb reconstruction and external fixation with an orthoplastic approach, following acute or chronic tibial injury, were retrospect…
Increasing stability in the linearized inverse Schrödinger potential problem with power type nonlinearities
2022
We consider increasing stability in the inverse Schr\"{o}dinger potential problem with power type nonlinearities at a large wavenumber. Two linearization approaches, with respect to small boundary data and small potential function, are proposed and their performance on the inverse Schr\"{o}dinger potential problem is investigated. It can be observed that higher order linearization for small boundary data can provide an increasing stability for an arbitrary power type nonlinearity term if the wavenumber is chosen large. Meanwhile, linearization with respect to the potential function leads to increasing stability for a quadratic nonlinearity term, which highlights the advantage of nonlinearit…
Il Palazzo Merendino Costantino a Palermo. Architettura e Tecnica in un cantiere del XVIII secolo
2022
Il palazzo Merendino Costantino occupa, all’interno del centro storico di Palermo, una posizione strategica nel Mandamento Castellammare, vista la sua immediata prossimità alla piazza Vigliena, detta anche Quattro Canti o Teatro del Sole. Sorto sulla preesistenza di un primigenio nucleo palaziale, a partire dal XVIII secolo e per iniziativa della famiglia Merendino fu ingrandito e migliorato nei suoi caratteri distributivo-funzionali e costruttivi, sotto la direzione dell’architetto Andrea Gigante, per assumere quei caratteri architettonici identitari più vicini all’assetto consolidato di fabbrica palaziale tipica del secolo, che riflette la mirabile collaborazione fra la perizia tecnica di…
HDR-ARtiSt: a FPGA-based Smart Camera for High Dynamic Range color video from multiple exposures
2014
International audience; A camera is able to capture only a part of a high dynamic range scene information. The same scene can be fully perceived by the human visual system. This is true especially for real scenes where the difference in light intensity between the dark areas and bright areas is high. The imaging technique which can overcome this problem is called HDR (High Dynamic Range). It produces images from a set of multiple LDR images (Low Dynamic Range), captured with different exposure times. This technique appears as one of the most appropriate and a cheap solution to enhance the dynamic range of captured environments. We developed an FPGA-based smart camera that produces a HDR liv…
Measuring the perceived value of rural tourism: a field survey in the western Sicilian agritourism sector
2016
Rural tourism constitutes a valuable tool for the sustainable development of many rural areas. This paper examines the concept of perceived value in rural tourism. A quantitative field survey was carried out in some main Western Sicilian holiday farms (agritourisms) during the Spring 2014. A theoretical model of the tourists’ perceived value in this specific context was developed and validated, using a 22-item scale. Using Partial Least Squares Path Modelling a theoretical structural model of the multidimensional structure of the RTPV was tested, assessing intensity and direction of the causal relationships among RTPV and its dimensions. Five dimensions were identified as forming the constr…
Cell Mediated Immune System Hyperactivation and Complications in Surgery. Is There a Correlation?
2010
Introduction: The role of the immune system in wound healing is multifaceted and cell-to-cell interactions may affect healing in several ways, many of which are probably still unknown. The case of a 19-year-old girl who, after multiple postsurgical complications, was found to have a transient immune system hyperactivation is reported. Materials and Methods: A 19-years-old woman with a breast asymmetry, previously treated with breast augmentation and contralateral reduction mammaplasty, had her implant removed and she came to our attention seeking autologous reconstruction. A free DIEP flap was performed and, again, wound breakdown and liponecrosis ensued at both the donor and recipient site…
Didáctica facilitadora. Un libro de aprendizaje
2021
Los hallazgos del aprendizaje de la psicología y la neurociencia han dejado claro en las últimas décadas que el aprendizaje es un proceso controlado por el individuo y sigue más una lógica de apropiación que una de transmisión (véase Arnold, 2017a). La didáctica facilitadora quiere separarse conscientemente de las demandas del input y enfocarse en el movimiento de aprendizaje del objeto, así como en las competencias y el resultado. El presente libro, titulado deliberadamente como un libro de aprendizaje en lugar de un libro de enseñanza, tiene la intención de ser un pequeño compendio que resume de manera compacta los elementos centrales y las ideas de la didáctica facilitadora de una amplia…
