Self-Directed Learning as a Practice of Workplace Learning: Interpretative Repertoires of Self-Directed Learning in ICT Work
2019
Changing technologies and competition in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) are challenging the learning of individual workers and teams alongside and through work. Organisations call for employees’ autonomy and self-directedness executed by agile operations and low hierarchies, where learning is also increasingly the responsibility of the individuals and teams themselves and occurs in practice without strong control of the organisation. Therefore, the multidimensional concept of self-directed learning becomes essential in the context of learning at work. In this study, we examine how employees in the ICT sector describe self-directed learning practices in the conte…
Optical flow estimation from multichannel spherical image decomposition
2011
International audience; The problem of optical flow estimation is largely discussed in computer vision domain for perspective images. It was also proven that, in terms of optical flow analysis from these images, we have difficulty distinguishing between some motion fields obtained with little camera motion. The omnidirectional cameras provided images with large filed of view. These images contain global information about motion and allow to remove the ambiguity present in perspective case. Nevertheless, these images contain significant radial distortions that is necessary to take into account when treating these images to estimate the motion. In this paper, we shall describe new way to comp…
Stability, electronic structure, and optical properties of protected gold-doped silver Ag29−xAux (x = 0–5) nanoclusters
2017
In this work, we used density functional theory (DFT) and linear response time-dependent DFT (LR-TDDFT) to investigate the stability, electronic structure, and optical properties of Au-doped [Ag29-xAux(BDT)12(TPP)4]3- nanoclusters (BDT: 1,3-benzenedithiol; TPP triphenylphosphine) with x = 0-5. The aim of this work is to shed light on the most favorable doped structures by comparing our results with previously published experimental data. The calculated relative energies, ranging between 0.8 and 10 meV per atom, indicate that several doped Ag29-xAux nanoclusters are likely to co-exist at room temperature. However, only the Au-doped [Ag29-xAux(BDT)12(TPP)4]3- nanoclusters that have direct bon…
Effects of non-tracking solar collector orientation on energy production : photovoltaic systems
2012
Abstract: This Master's thesis proposes a new method for calculating the optimum tilt and orientation angle of a fitted solar collector. In addition to using geographical data, this method takes into account the radiation data and weather statistics of prospective locations. This makes the calculations valid not only for certain latitudes, but also for certain radiation and weather conditions. Calculations were done by estimating the energy production of a given solar array using a sequence of different tilt angles and orientation angles. Special attention was given to shaded solar arrays and arrays made up of photovoltaic modules. Specific radiation and weather data was used for both locat…

Johtajat tervehtivät viemällä käden päähineeseen : direktiivisyys Yleisessä palvelusohjesäännössä
2018
Kandidaatin tutkielmassani tarkastellaan direktiivisyyttä Puolustusvoimien Yleisessä palvelusohjesäännössä. Tutkimuskysymykset ovat olleet: 1.Miten direktiivisyyttä ilmaistaan Yleisen palvelusohjesäännön kielellisillä valinnoilla? 2.Miten organisaatiokulttuuri vaikuttaa Yleisessä palvelusohjesäännössä käytettävään kieleen? Tutkimus on laadullinen ja sen metodologisina valintoina on käytetty tekstin ja tekstilajintutkimusta systeemis-funktonaalisen kielenkäsityksen näkökulmasta. Tutkimusaineistosta oli luokiteltavissa sekä prototyyppisiä että ei-prototyyppisiä direktiivejä. Direktiivin velvoittavuuden asteen perustella nämä direktiivit luokiteltiin seitsemään luokkaan: ohje, kielto, määräys,…
Who cares? -The unrecognised contribution of homecare nurses to care trajectories
2022
Background: Organisation of patients' trajectories is a critical element of nursing practice. However, nursing practice is mainly expressed in terms of direct patient care, while the practices through which care is organised have received little attention, are poorly acknowledged and lack formal recognition. Aim: To examine the management of care trajectories as provided by homecare nurses. Design: We conducted focus group interviews with 29 Danish homecare nurses. The analysis drew on the evidence based and theoretically informed framework care trajectory management. Care trajectory management is conceptualised as comprising of three organisational components: (1) Trajectory awareness, (2)…
Recent Anti-Mafia Strategies: The Italian Experience
2008
We often tend to think of criminal policies as essentially repressive. At first sight this assumption seems to apply straightforwardly in the case of policies against organized crime, especially those targeted at mafia type organizations. However, experience shows that these criminal organizations can be fought successfully also by means of measures which are not in themselves repressive, albeit they aim to favour repression in the last resort. Together with direct repressive measures, in the Italian case we indeed register a wide variety of other policies addressing civil society and public administrations, and only indirectly the mafia. Indirect strategies, therefore, are aimed at the rei…

Mejora de la calidad de vida del residente a través de estrategias de marketing: Un análisis comparado entre México y España.
2015
Los gobiernos locales hoy en día deben desarrollarse y crecer igual que las grandes empresas existentes en el mundo. Para ello, deben gestionar y administrar sus territorios geográficos como si de una marca se tratara. En este tenor, la actitud hacia la marca-ciudad favorece la creación de actitudes positivas hacia la sostenibilidad. En este marco, la presente tesis persigue los cinco objetivos siguientes: (i) Abordar el papel del marketing experiencial basado en mega-eventos para construir, tanto actitud hacia la marca-ciudad como hacia la sostenibilidad. (ii) Abordar el papel del marketing verde (orientación ecológica) para construir, tanto actitud hacia la marca-ciudad como hacia la sost…
