The Impact Of Hybrid Infrastructure On Trust, Motivation And Knowledge Sharing In An Intentional Community: A Latvian Case Study
2013
The role of ICT infrastructure in enhancing innovation processes through fostering knowledge and information exchange is a controversial topic in regional science. Opposing views exist, in particular, with regard to two topics: a) the persistence of a specific role of geographical proximity in knowledge exchange processes in the age of global virtual networking; b) the capability of virtual networking to recreate the social assets of a physical community (trust, solidarity?). Existing studies primarily focus on aggregated data, rely on doubtful epistemological assumptions (e.g. the equation of information with knowledge), and neglect several epistemological principles of social cognition (e…

Network-based indices of individual and collective advising impacts in mathematics
2020
AbstractAdvising and mentoring Ph.D. students is an increasingly important aspect of the academic profession. We define and interpret a family of metrics (collectively referred to as “a-indices”) that can potentially be applied to “ranking academic advisors” using the academic genealogical records of scientists, with the emphasis on taking into account not only the number of students advised by an individual, but also subsequent academic advising records of those students. We also define and calculate the extensions of the proposed indices that account for student co-advising (referred to as “adjusted a-indices”). In addition, we extend some of the proposed metrics to ranking universities a…
Connecting others: Does a tertius iungens orientation shape the relationship between research networks and innovation?
2021
Research on social networks and innovation emphasizes that individuals spanning structural holes and crossing institutional boundaries have more opportunities for knowledge recombination and innovation involvement. However, transforming the potential knowledge and resources available through personal networks to attain innovation can be difficult for the focal individual. Using an ego-network approach, this study examines whether and to what extent an individual strategic orientation to cooperation (i.e. tertius iungens) contributes to strengthening the relation between two personal network properties (structural and institutional separation) and involvement in innovation. Our analysis is c…
Problems of Transferring Knowledge on the Example of Recommendations from Evaluation of European Funds in Poland
2019
This article presents the conditions of creating a system for implementing recommendations from evaluation studies which were conducted within the cohesion policy in Poland. The purpose of this analysis was to identify main problems and barriers related to the transformation of evaluation studies into practical recommendations, and to identify factors affecting the adoption and implementation of recommendations by recipients and stakeholders of evaluation. Conclusions were based on the desk research of such documents as: guidelines and procedures for the implementation of evaluation, evaluation and meta-evaluation reports, recommendation and implementation tables. The main barriers and fact…

Socioeconomic differences in selected dietary habits among Norwegian 13–14 year-olds: a cross-sectional study
2014
Background: Social inequalities in health are a major and even growing problem in all European countries.Objective: The aim of the present study was to describe 1) differences in dietary habits among Norwegian adolescents by gender and socioeconomic status; 2) differences in self-reported knowledge of dietary guidelines among their parents according to socioeconomic status.Design: In 2012, a cross-sectional study where students filled in a web-based food frequency questionnaire at school was conducted in nine lower secondary schools in Vest-Agder County, Norway. Socioeconomic status (SES) and knowledge of dietary guidelines were obtained from the parents using a web-based questionnaire. In …
La utilización de robots para mitigar la soledad en las personas mayores: estado del arte
2013
La introducción en nuestra vida diaria de las tecnologías para la comunicación e internet (ICT) en el mundo actual es un hecho equiparable a la alfabetización y la introducción de la radio en los hogares en otros momentos de la historia. Paralelo a esa introducción y al desarrollo de los sistemas de información se está produciendo el desarrollo de sistemas autónomos o robots. El objetivo de este trabajo es la realización de un estado del arte sobre el uso de los robots como medio para mejorar su actividad social o mitigar los efectos de la soledad en las personas mayores o muy mayores. Metodología: se ha revisado publicaciones indexadas en las principales bases de datos consultadas por inve…

El envejecimiento poblacional es uno de los cambios demográficos más significativos acaecidos en las últimas décadas a nivel mundial. En consecuencia, las sociedades modernas se enfrentan al reto de hacer frente al envejecimiento desde una nueva perspectiva. El paradigma del envejecimiento activo y saludable se ha consolidado en las últimas décadas como la respuesta a este reto. Atendiendo a este paradigma, la vejez se entiende como una nueva etapa para seguir desarrollando nuestro potencial y optimizar las oportunidades de salud, participación y seguridad con el fin de mejorar la calidad de vida a medida que se envejece (OMS, 2002). Sin embargo, el proceso de envejecer en muchas ocasiones …
