The Village of the Year Competition Constructing an Ideal Model of a Rural Community in Finland
2016
The Village Action Association of Finland (SYTY) organizes the Village of the Year competition annually to award active rural communities. The competition has taken place since 1985, but after the village action movement was integrated into Finnish rural policy networks in the 1990s, it also became a part of rural policy instruments. The competition can be considered a governing technique that constructs norms and an ideal model for rural communities to pursue. In this article, I study the representation of an ideal rural community by analysing the criteria of the competition. I also look for changes to see whether the integration of the village action movement into rural policy is reflecte…
The uncertainty of the energy demand in existing mediterranean urban blocks
2013
The objective of the paper is to describe a stochastic model that has been developed to obtain load profiles for household electricity. For the study, several profiles have been generated in order to simulate the electrical demand of a residential building block or neighbourhood and evaluate the uncertainty of its energy use. The paper is divided in three different parts: development of the model, validation and determination of the uncertainty demand. In the first parts the basis of the model and how it works is explained. The second one represents the validation of the model, the input data and its results. The last step is focused on a statistical analysis of the electricity demand of a …
Understanding the health care pattern of homeless children through their residential journey
2021
En Île-de-France, l’hôtel social est souvent mobilisé par les associations pour héberger des familles, principalement migrantes et accompagnées d’enfants de moins de 6 ans. À cet âge, l’enfant nécessite un suivi de soins régulier auprès des professionnels pédiatriques. Nous supposons que ce suivi est dépendant de la mobilité résidentielle inhérente au système d’hébergement hôtelier. Cet article a pour objectif de reconstituer le parcours résidentiel des familles et le parcours de soins de leurs enfants et de saisir comment ces derniers s’influencent. La démonstration repose sur 18 entretiens biographiques spatialisés réalisés entre 2013 et 2016 auprès des familles sans logement hébergées en…
Political community resilience in declining rural areas in Finland
2021
Abstract In this article, we study how declining rural communities build political resilience in Finland. Community resilience is an adaptive process through which rural communities try to maintain their viability in changed circumstances. This process does not entail a submissive attitude, but rather active agency and an effort to influence matters concerning the community’s well-being. We focus on the political dimension of resilience by identifying different local tactics that rural communities adopt to promote their own development following municipal mergers. We classify these tactics into three categories: cooperation, conflict and community-led development. The significant difference…
LA RESPONSABILITÀ DIRIGENZIALE TRASFIGURATA E LA DISCIPLINA DELLE REGIONI SPECIALI
2019
La responsabilità dirigenziale nell’ordinamento del pubblico impiego delle Regioni speciali ricalca sostanzialmente la disciplina statale, in linea con la tendenza c.d. centralista che ha progressivamente attratto a livello statale la disciplina del pubblico impiego di tali Regioni nel presupposto dell’esclusiva competenza del legislatore statale del trattamento giuridico ed economico dei dipendenti regionali
INSTITUTIONALISATION OF RETURN MIGRATION IN LATVIA: THE CASE OF REGIONAL COORDINATORS
2021
Emigration countries such as Latvia institutionally should address the negative consequences of the ageing populations' economic and demographic challenges. To this aim, in 2018 network of five regional return migration coordinators was established to foster and nationally encourage return migration. The primary function of the regional coordinator is to foster and facilitate requests of potential return migrants.Drawing on interview materials collected in 2020 with return migration coordinators at the regional level – Latgale, Vidzeme, Zemgale, Kurzeme and Riga, we illustrate good-practice of return migration institutionalisation in Latvia.Our study focuses on three main fields of interest…
The Effects of Revitalizing Actions – Identification and Significance for the Development Policy of a Region (a Case Study of Opolskie Voivodeship)
2016
The aim of the work is to identify effects of the process of revitalization in the space of a region. The authors examine the results which were achieved on closing the realization of revitalization projects in the years 2007-2013 in Opolskie Voivodeship. They also undertake an attempt to determine their significance for the perspective shaping of the regional development policy. The research was conducted on the basis of the analyses of: applications of revitalization projects co-financed within the Regional Operation Program for Opolskie Voivodeship in the years 2007-2013, local revitalization programs in the cities of Opolskie Voivodeship, focus studies conducted in 12 cities of the regi…
Działania rewitalizacyjne w polityce rozwoju lokalnego i regionalnego
2016
Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja i ocena uwarunkowań oraz znaczenia rewitalizacji w polityce rozwoju. Badania przeprowadzono na przykładzie działań rewitalizacyjnych podejmowanych w województwie opolskim w latach 2007–2013. Opierały się one na analizie projektów rewitalizacyjnych wykonanych w ramach działań 6.1 i 6.2 RPO WO 2007–2013. Analiza ta została wykonana na podstawie: weryfikacji dokumentacji dotyczącej przedmiotowych inicjatyw rewitalizacyjnych, badań fokusowych z przedstawicielami władz oraz mieszkańcami miast, w których realizowano projekty, badań ankietowych z przedstawicielami wszystkich JST w województwie opolskim. Dodatkowo zastosowano metodę desk research, pozwalającą na id…

Inhibition of small G proteins of the Rho family by statins orClostridium difficiletoxin B enhances cytokine-mediated induction of NO synthase II
2000
In order to investigate the involvement of Ras and/or Rho proteins in the induction of the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (NOS II) we used HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) and Clostridium difficile toxin B (TcdB) as pharmacological tools. Statins indirectly inhibit small G proteins by preventing their essential farnesylation (Ras) and/or geranylgeranylation (Rho). In contrast, TcdB is a glucosyltransferase and inactivates Rho-proteins directly. Human A549/8- and DLD-1 cells as well as murine 3T3 fibroblasts were preincubated for 18 h with statins (1–100 μM) or TcdB (0.01–10 ng ml−1). Then NOS II expression was induced by cytokines. NOS II mRNA was measured after 4–8 h by R…
