"Zasiewający we łzach, w radości żąć będą" (Ps 126,5). Motywy radości w Psałterzu na przykładzie Psalmu 126
2016
Joy is one of the basic human feelings that express emotional, psychological, and spiritual state. Thus the biblical books and especially the Book of Psalms show various motifs of joy among numerous existential situations. Not only joy is the characteristic but its distinct reference to the relation with God as the One who is the source of joy even in the midst of worries and trials. It is exemplified by Psalm 126 which presents the motifs of joy included in the experience of sowing and harvesting. These motifs were raised accurately and meaningfully in the description of the situation of changing man’s lot from the state of sadness, caused by suffering, to joy and happiness of new life.
New re-bordering left them alone and neglected: Czech cross-border commuters in German-Czech borderland
2022
The article focuses on the impact of the new re-bordering, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, on the functional, ideational and institutional dimension of cross-border integration, as perceived by the Czech cross-border commuters employed on the German side of the Euroregion Elbe Labe. The interviews with forty cross-commuters showed that they were left alone in these times of re-bordering and became victims of non-coordination between Czechia and Germany. Yet, cross-border commuting seems to have survived the first pandemic waves and the German labour market will continue to attract the Czech workforce despite that fact the pandemic has introduced a major uncertainty associated with the bord…
Design, technology and social innovation: the serious game of traffic O2
2019
Social science and new communication technologies are deeply influencing the transportation domain and new models of urban sustainable development are constantly emerging as new possible solutions. One of the principal reasons is the capability to reach the motivations that foster us to choose one or another urban transportation systems. It is already feasible to develop solutions to implement and root more efficient and sustainable habits in urban transportation. The present exploratory chapter presents the activities conducted by innovation lab PUSH, with the Italian Ministry of Innovation and Research, for the development and the application of the social innovation project “TrafficO2” i…
Involving people in the building up of smart and sustainable cities: How to influence commuters’ behaviors through a mobile app game
2018
Abstract Usually, mobility policies assessed by local institutions tend to intervene on the side of the urban transport networks, by designing new and expensive infrastructures, whereas only a few attention is paid to the possible positive effects induced by proper mobility behaviors of people. On purpose, Smartphone technologies and platforms are rapidly becoming effective tools for involving citizens in environmental conscious mobility habits. By means of an empirical application to a group of university students, that daily commute for reaching their departments, the effectiveness of a mobile app game in pursuing commuters to modify their mobility behaviors is here checked. The game rewa…
Analysis of the German Commuter Network Period 2013 -2021
2023
Understanding the behavior of commuters is crucial as the number of commuters steadily rises, causing significant traffic congestion in many cities. Indeed, commuter behavior is vital in city and transport planning and policy-making. Previous studies have investigated various factors that may impact commuting decisions. Still, these studies are often limited by the scale of data examined, including time duration, space, and the number of commuters. To address this gap, we gathered large-scale inter-city commuting data in Germany and analyzed the weighted commuting network from 2013 to 2021. This work relies on publicly available data so that the results can be reproduced.
A Win-Win Scheme for Improving the Environmental Sustainability of University Commuters’ Mobility and Getting Environmental Credits
2022
European Union Member States are called upon to meet internationally proposed environmental goals. This study is based, in particular, on the recommendation of the European Union (EU), which encourages Member States to pursue effective policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, including through appropriate changes in the behavioral habits of citizens. In this respect, among the main sectors involved, transport and mobility should certainly be mentioned. National institutions should be adequately involved in order to achieve the objectives set; in this regard, universities must certainly be considered for their educational value. These latter, for instance, could commit to improvin…

Kämmensyrjävaimennus muodon artikuloijana : sen aikaansaamat muutokset heavy metal-musiikin rytmiikassa, sointivärissä ja harmoniassa
2011
Kämmensyrjävaimennus (engl. palm-mute) on eräs musiikkikappaleen muotoa artikuloiva tekijä, sillä se saa aikaan muutoksia rytmiikassa, harmoniassa ja sointivärissä. Tästä huolimatta sen huomioiminen populaarimusiikintutkimuksessa on ollut varsin vähäistä. Käyn tutkimuksessani läpi kämmensyrjävaimennuksen eri ilmenemismuotoja ja niiden suhdetta heavy metal -musiikin muotokäsitykseen. Tutkimukseni tulokset esitän kämmensyrjävaimennuksen ja hypermetriikkaan ja modulaariseen strukturointiin perustuvan muotokäsityksen teoreettisen taustan, keräämäni aineiston ja musiikkianalyyttisten menetelmien avulla. Käsittelen myös tutkimuksessani kriittisesti perinteisen musiikin muotokäsityksen soveltuvuut…
Are subjective outcomes a “missing link” between driving stress and risky driving behaviors of commuters? Assessing the case of a LMIC
2023
Despite the efforts made by different stakeholders, most of Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) continue to systematically report very negative road safety outcomes. In fact, in countries like Colombia, the rate of deaths from traffic crashes has increased in recent years. One of the most affected collectives in this regard -and at the same time one of the least addressed in specialized literature- are driving commuters, which are commonly exposed to several types of threats and stressors configuring an “everyday risk” potentially impairing their health and safety. This study aimed to assess whether there exists an indirect path -mediated by subjective outcomes- linking driving stress a…
