BUILDING THE PROJECT TEAM AND PROJECT ORGANIZATION – CHALLENGES AND OBSTACLES
2011
The building of a project team can be one of the first hurdles the future team manager faces. The blame for this can be constraints in terms of resources to fund salaries, lack of adequate or properly trained personnel, unavailability of specialists the manager needs within the project in the period this is scheduled, but also other causes. The building of a project team process must also correlated with its future structure, the two components influencing each other in both directions. Choosing an appropriate structure for the project to be implemented is not only necessary, but, moreover, may prove fatal to the extent that is not obtained.
'It's like a Sentence before the Sentence' - Exploring the Pains and Possibilities of Waiting for Imprisonment
2020
This article explores the implications of the ‘imprisonment queue’ in Norway. Based on interview data (N = 200), we show that while interviewees waiting to serve their sentences enjoy certain benefits such as being able to prepare for or negotiate the terms of their imprisonment, they also suffer from uncertainty and powerlessness. The suspension of their lives while they wait hinders them in pursuing their ground projects, things that really matter to them. This peculiar phenomenon has not received attention from prison scholars generally, as well as scholars writing on Nordic Exceptionalism specifically. This article addresses that gap and poses questions about the relative mildness of th…
Kierunki modernizacji sieci kolejowej
2017
Opracowanie przedstawia kierunki modernizacji sieci kolejowej Polski w latach 2003-2017. Długość sieci kolejowej w kraju ulega zmniejszeniu. Zachodzi proces likwidacji linii i zawieszenia przewozów kolejowych. W kraju modernizowane są główne linie magistralne. Na modernizację składają się: wymiana torów, przebudowa trakcji elektrycznej i wprowadzenie nowoczesnych systemów sterowania ruchem i sygnalizacji (ECTS). Przebudowie ulęgają linie kolejowe o znaczeniu tranzytowym zaliczane do europejskiego układu połączeń kolejowych w ruchu pasażerskim (umowa AGC) i towarowym (umowa AGTC). Projekty modernizacji linii kolejowych są finansowane ze środków europejskich i krajowych. Główne źródła finanso…
The angle of trunk rotation and symmetry of a lower limb loading in musicians of a symphony orchestra in Poland: a pilot study concerning instrument-…
2022
Background: The study aimed to evaluate the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) and symmetry of lower limb loading in professional musicians. Material and Methods: A total of 60 instrumentalists were examined: cellists, violinists and musicians playing wind instruments. The scoliometer examination was used to assess trunk asymmetry. The angle of trunk rotation was measured at segment: Th1–Th4, Th5–Th12, and Th12–L4. The maximum value (ATR max) and the sum of three rotations (STR) were calculated. Two scales were used to assess the symmetry of lower limb loading. Loading symmetry index (LSI) of the lower limb was calculated. Results: Violinists have the highest mean values of ATR, ATR max, STR and…

Kształcenie metodą projektów socjalnych studentów kierunku praca socjalna na Uniwersytecie Opolskim
2021
Artykuł przedstawia rolę projektów socjalnych w kształceniu przyszłych pracowników socjalnych. Realizacja działań projektowych pozwala na przygotowanie wszechstronnie wykształconego, przyszłego specjalisty, który posiada interdyscyplinarną wiedzę i szeroki wachlarz kompetencji społecznych pozwalających na skuteczne podejmowanie aktywności. Przygotowanie i realizacja projektów socjalnych wymaga od studentów wzięcia odpowiedzialności za podjęte decyzje oraz pełnienia różnych funkcji pozwalających na zweryfikowanie gotowości do przyszłej pracy zawodowej. Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na ogromną wartość realizacji projektów socjalnych w toku kształcenia akademickiego oraz prezentacja stru…
Acute Effects of Tecar Therapy on Skin Temperature, Ankle Mobility and Hyperalgesia in Myofascial Pain Syndrome in Professional Basketball Players: A…
2021
(1) Background: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a clinical condition characterized by localized non-inflammatory musculoskeletal pain caused by myofascial trigger points. Diathermy or Tecar therapy (TT) is a form of noninvasive electro-thermal therapy classified as deep thermotherapy based on the application of electric currents. This technique is characterized by immediate effects, and its being used by high performance athletes. (2) Methods: A total of thirty-two participants were included in the study who were professional basketball players. There was a 15-person Control Group and a 17-person Intervention Group. TT was applied in the Intervention Group, while TT with the device switch…
Stakeholder involvement in developing LNG as a ship fuel in the Baltic Sea region
2015
New environmental regulations require the shipping industry to reduce its sulphur emissions. The currently most environmentally friendly alternative for ship owners to comply with the regulations is the switch to LNG fuelled vessels which however also requires port developers to invest in the supply of LNG. In order to successfully implement the creation of an LNG infrastructure, various challenges have to be overcome. This study looks at the challenges of LNG as a ship fuel from a stakeholder perspective by conducting a port screening with the aim to assess the current development status of LNG projects and the drivers and impediments behind it. Furthermore, a qualitative research with exp…

Employee opportunities for self-directed learning at technology organisations : features and frames of self-directed learning projects
2020
The importance of self-directed learning (SDL) in a business environment has been highlighted as a way to increase an organisation’s competitiveness and innovativeness. While organisations increasingly require SDL from employees, less attention is paid to the situations and frames enabling it. This study examines self-directed learning projects (SDLPs), situations in which SDL is realised as an individual or collective phenomenon. Based on ethnographic research, this study’s data consisted of field notes, field records and interviews. I used analysis of key incidents and ethnographic content analysis as an analytical tools. Four types of SDLPs was identified in the organisations studied: or…
