Oficery pol’skoj i litovskoj armii v 1717-1733 gg

2017

One of the elements of the process of modernization of the two armies of the Poland in the second and third decade of the eighteenth century was an attempt to improve the quality of the officers' staff.However, it took place only in the foreign part of the crown. In the years 1717-1724, its corps of officers was filled by a large group, over 100 officers, who possessed some professional experience of military service in the armies of Western Europe, primarily in Saxony. This undoubtedly contributed to the loyalty of this officer corps to the king, but did not lead to the strengthening of the military capabilities of the Polish army.

Research on Public Procurement of Information Systems: The Need for a Process Approach

The Public Procurement of IS - A Process View

2014

This paper addresses a lack of research into public procurement of information systems, especially from a process focus. Three case studies from IS procurement in Norwegian municipalities are presented. By following one of the procurements in detail, the paper shows a process with a very strict phased division, an approach quite different from today's agile system development methods. The cases show the importance of the requirement specification which is completed before talking to vendors. They also show the need for clarifying the content of the offer, through a dialogue with the vendor. A number of critical incidents are identified, involving the interests of different stakeholders. Con…

Refugiats i apàtrides. L’asil polític i la protecció internacional a l’Estat espanyol: evolució i impediments

2014

Les politiques de control de fronteres s’han anat consolidant, convertint Europa i  l’Estat espanyol en una mena de fortalesa a la qual cada vegada es mes dificil penetrar, i per tant accedir al procediment d’asil. El govern espanyol prioritza la que denominen «lluita contra la migracio irregular» front al compliment dels compromisos que com a Estat, ha signat en materia de Drets Humans, vulnerant aixi el dret al asil i a la Proteccio Internacional recollit, entre d’altres, en la Convencio de Ginebra sobre l’estatut de les persones refugiades.

Advance Directives. Comparison of current legislation within the European Union

2021

Abstract Advance Directives have been legally binding in Spain since the publication of Act 41/2002, of 14th November, which regulates patients’ rights to autonomy and obligations concerning clinical information and recording clinical information. However, the situation in each country of the European Union remains heterogeneous and unknown to most health care professionals. By collecting and studying the legislation on patients' rights in European Union countries we have made an updated comparison of the different features of Advance Directives in each country. Only 15 of the 28 European Union Countries have developed specific rules on advance directives which makes them legally binding in…

Back Pain Characteristics in Physical and Office Workers

2018

The aim of our study was to characterize back pain according to the occupation comprising physical  and office work. Accordingly questionnaires from 100 physical workers (PW) and 100 office workers (OW) were collected.  This dedicated questionnaire included 19 questions, of which 7 concerned demographic, work and stature features and 12 concerned back pain.  Collected data showed that lower back pain was more common in PW but cervical pain in OW (p0.001). Most common aetiology of back pain was spinal osteoarthritis, sciatica and scoliosis but of different spread in two groups (p0.001). The history of back pain was most often above 5 years and there were significant differences in frequency,…

Modeling Ordinal Item Responses via Binary GLMMs and Alternative Link Functions: An Application to Measurement of a Perceived Service Quality

2010

Evaluation of a service on the basis of consumer opinion is a widespread practice in many fields. The assessment of perceived quality [7] of a service is generally carried out through administration of a questionnaire, composed of several items with responses posed on an ordinal scale, whereby each item represents an important feature of the evaluated service [3, 7]. In this context, the aim is to evaluate something similar to the external effectiveness, that is the part of efficacy related to the satisfaction expressed by the service users for the provided service. A particular and important example of service users is represented by students’ responses measuring the perceived quality of s…

An Innovative Photovoltaic Luminescent Solar Concentrator Window: Energy and Environmental Aspects

2022

Over the years, different types of smart windows have been tested and developed. In this study, an innovative prototype of a photovoltaic smart window, that integrates luminescent solar concentrators, was analysed. The device independently regulates the movement of the shading system and allows energy surplus, through the electricity generated by modules. Considering the peculiar structure (characterized by the presence of a light shelf) and the thermal characteristics of the device, the analyses focused on optical, thermal, and electrical performances, comparing them with those of a traditional window. The analysis followed an experimental approach that involved lighting and electrical mon…
