The dialectics of spatial performances: The interplay of tensions in activity-based organizing

2019

Navigating organizational workspace is often plagued with tensions that emerge from the interplay of intended designs with organizational activities and lived experiences. These tensions are evident in research findings, such as inconsistencies in the ways that employees react to new workplace designs. They call on scholars to rethink organizational space, not as a concrete, static, or ready-made ‘thing’, but as a set of ongoing performances that enact particular practices, clashes among opposites, and organizational tensions. Based on research in a Nordic company, this study reveals how tensions and responses to them in an activity-based office generate creative alternatives that enhance …

Hvordan påvirkes arbeidsprosesser ved innføring av EPJ og velferdsteknologi på sykehjem

2018

Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 In order to be better equipped in the challenges of the future, with an increasing number of elderly and fewer professionals to care for them, the government emphasizes the importance of service innovation in the healthcare sector. Change is required to gain socioeconomic benefits, particularly in work processes. More frequent and better use of electronic medical record (EMR) and welfare technology is necessary. The purpose of this study was to bring information and knowledge about how using technology in the nursing homes has transformed the work processes. Qualitative, exploratory method with semi-structured i…

The criminal prosecution of illegal fishing and the jurisdiction of Spanish courts

2022

This paper examines the possibilities of criminally prosecuting illegal fishing in maritime zones based on crimes established in Spanish legislation. In order to carry out this analysis, a distinction has been made between prosecution based on the place in which acts of illegal fishing are committed (ratione loci), who is responsible for this illicit activity (ratione personae), and the criminal relevance of the incriminating conduct (ratione materiae). This reveals the scope of the criminal prosecution which Spanish courts can carry out and whether this is sufficient to guarantee marine biodiversity to the benefit of the international community.

Tekijänoikeuslaki eduskunnan käsittelyssä : digitaalisten oikeuksien hallinnan teknologiat päätöksenteon kohteena

2007

Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan digitaalisten oikeuksien hallinnan teknologioita eduskunnan päätöksenteon kohteena. Tutkimusongelmina selvitän ensiksi kuluttajan ja tuottajan intressejä digitaalisten oikeuksien hallinnan teknologioilla (engl. digital rights management, DRM) suojattuun aineistoon. Toisena tutkimusongelmana selvitän miten ja mitkä kuluttajien ja tuottajien intressit politisoituvat kansanedustajien argumentaatiossa, sekä kolmanneksi tarkastelen miten kansanedustajat politikoivat, toimivat poliittisesti säätäessään tekijänoikeuslain. Ensimmäisen tutkimuskysymyksen aineistona ovat tieteelliset artikkelit, toisen ja kolmannen tutkimuskysymyksen aineistona ovat tekijänoikeuslakik…

Learning and organizational change in SPI initiatives

2009

Explaining how organizations chance has been a central and enduring quest of management scholars and many other disciplines. In order to be successful change requires not only a new process or technology but also the engagement and participation of the people involved. In this vein the change process results in new behavior and is routinized in practical daily business life of the company. Change management provides a framework for managing the human side of these changes. In this article we present a literature review on the change management in the context of Software Process Improvement. The tra- ditional view of learning, as a “lessons learned” or post-mortem reporting activity is often…

The Appraisal Theory of Emotion in Human–Computer Interaction

2020

This chapter reviews the appraisal theory of emotion and how it has been employed in human–computer interaction (HCI) research. This theory views emotion as a process that evaluates the subjective significance of an event. We demonstrate the usefulness of the perspective for HCI, as emotion is defined in terms of the events of the task environment and the goals and knowledge of the subject. Importantly, the appraisal theory ties these factors together in a cognitive appraisal process order to explain the variety of subjective emotional experiences. This is important for two reasons. First, a strong theoretical commitment allows researchers and designers to derive testable hypotheses from th…

On resampling schemes for particle filters with weakly informative observations

2022

We consider particle filters with weakly informative observations (or `potentials') relative to the latent state dynamics. The particular focus of this work is on particle filters to approximate time-discretisations of continuous-time Feynman--Kac path integral models -- a scenario that naturally arises when addressing filtering and smoothing problems in continuous time -- but our findings are indicative about weakly informative settings beyond this context too. We study the performance of different resampling schemes, such as systematic resampling, SSP (Srinivasan sampling process) and stratified resampling, as the time-discretisation becomes finer and also identify their continuous-time l…

Unbiased Estimators and Multilevel Monte Carlo

2018

Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) and unbiased estimators recently proposed by McLeish (Monte Carlo Methods Appl., 2011) and Rhee and Glynn (Oper. Res., 2015) are closely related. This connection is elaborated by presenting a new general class of unbiased estimators, which admits previous debiasing schemes as special cases. New lower variance estimators are proposed, which are stratified versions of earlier unbiased schemes. Under general conditions, essentially when MLMC admits the canonical square root Monte Carlo error rate, the proposed new schemes are shown to be asymptotically as efficient as MLMC, both in terms of variance and cost. The experiments demonstrate that the variance reduction…

"El origen oculto y ocultado del Romanticismo: el caso de Charles Nodier"

2012

Se trata de dar algunas referencias sobre el nacimiento del Romanticismo francés descubriendo sus orígenes "ocultas" (la vena del Romanticismo "negro" que se llama también "frenético") y "ocultadas" en el sentido que la historia literaria oficial de los libros escolares deja Charles Nodier de lado. Aunque Nodier fue precisamente el padre spiritual de los románticos franceses, el precursor incomprendido de la corriente frenética en Francia, el descubridor de V. Hugo, el padrino de la generación de 1830 que se encontraba en su salón de la biblioteca del Arsenal, pero también un hombre demasiado sabio, demasiado ecléctico, demasiado disperso, demasiado viejo en fin para tener en mano la bandej…
