Flow barriers : What prevents software developers from experiencing flow in their work
2022
Software development requires high problem-solving skills and creativity, making it a profession with good opportunities to become immersed in a flow experience. The characteristics of flow experience are absorption, enjoyment, and intrinsic motivation toward the activity. This study aims to better understand the barriers that prevent software developers from experiencing flow at work. Previous research has mostly examined software developers’ productivity, flow being one component of productive workdays. This study addresses the research gap by exploring the barriers to experiencing flow in software development. A qualitative questionnaire was used to gather data about flow experiences fro…
ISTehnology – integrated Approach to IS Development and Benefits of its Using
2011
The system ISTechnology and benefits of its usage are analyzed in the paper. ISTechnology provides an integrated approach to business modeling and development of information systems. The system consists of a meta-model and applications. The meta-model enables defining of a platform independent business model of the organization. The applications provide the definition and interpretation of the business model. Interpretation of the business model provides functionality of the information system in the selected platform. The lessons learned confirm that the development and maintenance cost of information systems can be significantly reduced by use of the ISTechnology. The paper describes addi…
Criteria for the evaluation of requirements management tools supporting distributed software product line engineering and management
2015
The development of software product lines (SPL) by geographically distributed teams increases the complexity of requirements management (RM) related tasks, making the support of a RM tool necessary. However, the selection of the most appropriate RM tool can be challenging, therefore the use of a comprehensive criteria list guiding the selection becomes essential. The goal of this research is to determine whether available criteria lists include comprehensive criteria for the evaluation of RM tools to be adopted in distributed SPL requirements management. This research answers the following research questions: (1) Do currently available criteria lists for RM tool evaluation allow the assessm…
Biodegradation of pesticides by soil microflora

Impact des modes de production économes en pesticides de synthèse sur la qualité microbiologique des sols viticoles
2022
La viticulture est un secteur d‘activité agricole stratégique pour la France carelle représente le 1er poste exportateur du secteur agroalimentaire pourseulement 3% de la SAU Française. Toutefois, elle est aussi une forteconsommatrice de produits phytosanitaires avec 20% des pesticides utilisés enFrance à elle seule, couplé aussi a une forte mécanisation. Tout ceci entraîne unedégradation de la qualité des sols, qu’elle soit physique (Quiquerez et al., 2008),ou biologique (Dequiedt et al., 2011). Une baisse importante de la biodiversitédu sol altère ses grandes fonctions d’intérêts telles que la décomposition de lamatière organique et la fourniture d’éléments minéraux, l’effet barrière auxp…
Potential for adaptation to climate change: family-level variation in fitness-related traits and their responses to heat waves in a snail population.
2017
Background On-going global climate change poses a serious threat for natural populations unless they are able to evolutionarily adapt to changing environmental conditions (e.g. increasing average temperatures, occurrence of extreme weather events). A prerequisite for evolutionary change is within-population heritable genetic variation in traits subject to selection. In relation to climate change, mainly phenological traits as well as heat and desiccation resistance have been examined for such variation. Therefore, it is important to investigate adaptive potential under climate change conditions across a broader range of traits. This is especially true for life-history traits and defences ag…
Luokassa luokassa? : miten vanhempien status-tekijät vaikuttavat lasten toissijaiseen sosialisaatioon ja luokittumiseen ensimmäisinä kouluvuosina?
2011
Bourdieu presented his theory of class and class reproduction and I'm interested in founding out how does socialization process affect this dynamic process in an egalitarian western country. Does educational system determine the future of the children by renewing the class structure or does the equal opportunities to succeed academically invalidate the reproduction cycle. By using longitudinal Alkuportaat-data (N=2258) from years 2006-2008 a co-variate analysis and a hierarchical modelling were made. Mathematical problem-solving and fluency in mother tongue were used as indicators for successful secondary socialization. The class structure is presented by parents' socio-economic status, deg…
The Export Strategy and SMEs Employment Resilience During Slump Periods
2021
Abstract The Spanish economy was the most hit by the Great Recession. It suffered a greater decrease in the gross domestic product (GDP) (affecting especially internal demand). However, it suffered a greater increase in exports (the so-called Spanish “miracle”). Particularly, Spanish SMEs incorporation into exports has been spectacular since 2008. Further, this has coincided with a huge increase in unemployment. Therefore, our main objective is to investigate the moderating role of exports in job destruction associated with recessive contexts of domestic demand using Spanish manufacturing SMEs as a case study. We obtain for SMEs that export participation helps compensate for the decrease in…
