Cohesion of planning and programming the development of regions in the conditions of a territorially-oriented policy
2015
The aim of the article is to identify the degree of cohesion of goals and needs of functional areas development with targets defined in the development of communes and a region. The functional areas: urban and sub-regional of Opole Province make the case study here. The study was conducted on the basis of documents which deal with planning and programming of the development of regional, local, as well as functional areas. As a result of the study, it was established that: the degree of adjustment of the targets defined in the development of functional areas is higher with reference to goals of the regional rather than local development. This results from greater possibilities of financing t…
Exploring the critical incident technique to encourage reflection during project-based learning
2017
Previous research has reported on the challenge of promoting students' generic reflection during authentic project-based courses. This work explores a teaching intervention based on Flanagan's Critical Incident Technique (CIT) during a project-based software development course. The intervention aims at increasing students' awareness of their own learning and at encouraging reflective practice throughout the project. Students were asked to report on 'incidents' when they experienced learning during the course, and to reflect on the task itself at the end of the course. The present study focuses on how students approached the incident reporting task and how they perceived it. The results indi…
Key Challenges of Virtual Software Development Teams
2010
Montonen, Jarno Johannes Key Challenges of Virtual Software Development Teams / Jarno Montonen Jyväskylä: Jyväskylä University, 2010. 41 p. Bachelor’s Thesis Many alleged benefits of virtual teams have motivated software companies to utilize virtual work in their projects. Building efficient virtual teams has, however, proven out to be a difficult task, and companies have found out that the alleged benefits may not always come true. To ease the efficient utilization of virtual teams in the future software development projects, this study researches virtual software development literature for key challenges that the teams face, as well as to find possible solutions to these challenges. The s…
Effects of selected pro-environmental project in the regional development of Poland
2019
Zgodnie z założeniami Strategii Europa 2020 wobec państw członkowskich wyznaczono cele w ramach prowadzonej polityki rozwoju. Równocześnie Polska, jako jeden z beneficjentów programów operacyjnych, korzysta z pomocy finansowej UE, realizując projekty na rzecz środowiska, gospodarki niskoemisyjnej, a szerzej − rozwoju zrównoważonego i trwałego. Celem artykułu jest zidentyfikowanie oddziaływania projektów o charakterze prośrodowiskowym na rozwój województw Polski. Analizie poddano inicjatywy realizowane w ramach programów operacyjnych w okresie programowania 2014-2020. Ponadto określono poziomy rozwoju województw Polski w wybranych latach. Zastosowano taksonomiczne metody badawcze Z. Hellwiga…
Ex-post evaluation of Territorial Integrated Projects in Italy: an empirical analysis at firm level
2013
This paper focuses on the evaluation of an incentive program for firms implemented in southern Italy during the last decade. In the framework of the policy instruments aimed to reduce territorial disparities, and to support local development, territorial integrated projects (TIP) constituted a new operational mode to implement the Regional Operational Programmes. A TIP is defined as a ?set of inter-sectorial actions, closely consistent and linked among them, which converge towards the common objective of territorial development and justify a unitary implementation approach'. The resources allocated for each TIP may be aimed at three types of interventions such as infrastructures, public act…
Building Situational Awareness of GDPR
2023
Because previous academic research does not comment sufficiently on how the relevant content of the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR has been properly communicated to the organisations, or how the situational awareness (SA) of GDPR has been built in the organisations, this qualitative empirical research was regarded as a valuable approach for gathering authentic research material on the practical bases of this phenomena. The aim of this empirical case study (CS) is to develop a picture of what processes organisations use to build SA of the GDPR requirements. To guide the CS, we asked how the SA for decision-making was constructed and how it was perceived in organ…
The role of linguistic and cognitive factors in emotion recognition difficulties in children with ASD, ADHD or DLD
2020
Abstract Background: Many children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or developmental language disorder (DLD) have difficulty recognizing and understanding emotions. However, the reasons for these difficulties are currently not well understood. Aims: To compare the emotion recognition skills of children with neurodevelopmental disorders as well as those children’s skills with the skills of their typically developing (TD) age peers. Also, to identify the role of underlying factors in predicting emotion recognition skills. Methods & Procedures: The 6–10‐year‐old children (n = 50) who participated in th…
Manufacturing export performance and public capital: an analysis by country technology position
2021
The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between public capital and manufacturing export performance. It also aims at investigating whether this relationship depends on the proximity of a country's technology frontier. To achieve this, we adopted a methodology that estimates the elasticities of public capital as a non-rival factor in a model that considers factor intensity as a mechanism of industrial development. We use an interaction model with panel data from 1999 to 2014 across 35 advanced and less advanced countries. Our results show that in countries far from the technology frontier, public capital accumulation is an element of industrial development as opposed to co…
Relations between Parenting Stress, Attachment, and Life Satisfaction in Mothers of Adolescent Children
2016
Relacje przyczynowe pomiędzy stresem rodzicielskim, przywiązaniem i zadowoleniem z życia dotychczas poddawane analizie są traktowane wielokierunkowo w zależności od ich osadzenia w odmiennych ramach teoretycznych. Ponadto, relacje pomiędzy nimi zależą od wielu zmiennych, które mogą oddziaływać na analizowane relacje jako potencjalne czynniki zakłócające. W naszym badaniu podjęliśmy się analizy związku pomiędzy stresem rodzicielskim matek i ich zadowoleniem z życia zapośredniczonego poprzez jakość przywiązania, rozumianego, jako ogólna orientacja matki w bliskich związkach. Przywiązanie było przez nas traktowane jako rodzaj zasobów osobistych matek, który zgodnie z naszymi założeniami działa…
Genome degeneration and adaptation in a nascent stage of symbiosis
2014
Symbiotic associations between animals and microbes are ubiquitous in nature, with an estimated 15% of all insect species harboring intracellular bacterial symbionts. Most bacterial symbionts share many genomic features including small genomes, nucleotide composition bias, high coding density, and a paucity of mobile DNA, consistent with long-term host association. In this study, we focus on the early stages of genome degeneration in a recently derived insect-bacterial mutualistic intracellular association. We present the complete genome sequence and annotation of Sitophilus oryzae primary endosymbiont (SOPE). We also present the finished genome sequence and annotation of strain HS, a close…
