Innovation Policies for Regional Structural Change: Combining Actor-Based and System-Based Strategies
2018
This chapter analyses opportunities and challenges for regional innovation policies designed to promote new path development in different types of regional innovation systems (RISs). RISs differ enormously in their capacity to develop new growth paths due to pronounced differences in endogenous potentials and varying abilities to attract and absorb exogenous sources for new path development. We distinguish between different types of regional industrial path development, which reflect various degrees of radicalness of regional structural change. The chapter offers a conceptual analysis of conditions and influences that enable and constrain new path development in different types of RISs and …
Delineamientos de desarrollo local en tiempos de incertidumbre: oportunidad para otro tipo de planteamientos / / / \ \ \ Local development outlines i…
2020
Resumen: La pandemia de Covid-19 han impactado en todos los ámbitos sociales y aspectos comunitarios, sociales y subjetivos. En el desarrollo local y regional esta situación ha tenido unos efectos devastadores sobre los que todavía es temprano para evaluar sus efectos, de tal manera que es posible referirse a un “antes” y un “después”. En este escenario y contexto inédito de incertezas y riesgos, es posible referirse a la contingencia como un nuevo marco de descripción de las sociedades, en la que los conceptos teóricos del desarrollo local (y social en general) deberán explorar nuevos conceptos emergentes, como son, el riesgo y el peligro, y con ello, repensar la lógica y teorías del desar…
ReMindCare App for Early Psychosis: Pragmatic Real World Intervention and Usability Study
2020
[EN] Background: eHealth interventions are widely used in clinical trials and increasingly in care settings as well; however, their efficacy in real-world contexts remains unknown. ReMindCare is a smartphone app that has been systematically implemented in a first episode of psychosis program (FEPP) for patients with early psychosis since 2018. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of ReMindCare after 19 months of use in the clinic and varying use by individual patients. Methods: The integration of the ReMindCare app into the FEPP started in October 2018. Patients with early psychosis self-selected to the app (ReMindCare group) or treatment as usual (TAU group). T…
Improving RAMS and WRF mesoscale forecasts over two distinct vegetation covers using an appropriate thermal roughness length parameterization
2019
Land Surface Models (LSM) have shown some difficulties to properly simulate day-time 2-m air and surface skin temperatures. This kind of models are coupled to atmospheric models in mesoscale modelling, such as the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. This model coupling is used within Numerical Weather Prediction Systems (NWP) in order to forecast key physical processes for agricultural meteorology and forestry as well as in ecological modelling. The current study first evaluates the surface energy fluxes and temperatures simulated by these two state-of-the-art NWP models over two distinct vegetated covers, one corresponding to a …
Novel Polymorph of GaSe
2021
2D GaSe is a semiconductor belonging to the group of post-transition metal chalcogenides with great potential for advanced optoelectronic applications. The weak interlayer interaction in multilayer 2D materials allows the formation of several polymorphs. Here, the first structural observation of a new GaSe polymorph is reported, characterized by a distinct atomic configuration with a centrosymmetric monolayer (D-3d point group). The atomic structure of this new GaSe polymorph is determined by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy. Density-functional theory calculations verify the structural stability of this polymorph. Furthermore, the band structure and Raman inten…
DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES IN REGIONS OF LATVIA
2021
For successful economic transition to the new stage of development improvements in business environment, as also the entrepreneurswho are ready to start your own business and to set up new companies. One of the main challenges the EU Member States face isthe need to boost their level of entrepreneurship and to become more competitive in the global market. That was one of the mainobjectives set by the Lisbon European Council, in March 2000, with a view to improving the Union’s performance in terms of employment,economic reform and social cohesion. Entrepreneurship is not only a driving force in the creation of new jobs, but it alsoincreases and enhances competitiveness and growth, personal f…
Innovations and ecosystems : a characterization of Smart Tampere innovation ecosystem
2019
Master's thesis Innovative governance and public management ME523 - University of Agder 2019 The following thesis focuses on innovation ecosystem. As described in thefirst section, innovations are of great importance for tackling global challenges such as climate change andthus,of relevancy for the regional economic development. The growing importance of innovationshas motivated numerous new approaches to innovation management, especiallyin the last years the approach ofinnovation ecosystem.In the secondsection, the concept of innovation ecosystem is introduced and the most relevantconcepts from the literature are discussed. It thereby compares innovation ecosystem to other concepts such as…
Savienojamības Problēmas Baltijas Jūras Reģionā. Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link Project un Øresund Bridge Gadījums
2021
Darbā tiek pētītas savienojamības problēmas Baltijas jūras reģionā, analizējot Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link un Øresund Bridge gadījumus. Savienojamības attīstība ir atkarīga no transporta koridoru harmonizācijas, modernizācijas un perspektīvas. Pētījums mērķis ir vērsts uz Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link ietekmes noteikšanu savienojuma elementiem. Izmantojot salīdzinošo metodi, tiek analizēti Øresund Bridge projekts un gaidāmā projekta kvalitatīvā SWOT analīze. Tiek pētīti Eiropas Savienības instrumenti, piemēram, Trans European Transport Network un Interreg, tādu reģionu savienojamībai kā Øresund, Skåne, Schleswig-Holstein un Zealand, transporta projektu rezultāti, termiņi un prognozes. Pētījums norāda…

The costs of putting Valencia on the map: the hidden side of regional entrepreneurialism, ‘creative city’ and strategic projects
2018
Strategic projects based on culture and sports have been one of the vectors of regional development since the 1990s. Accordingly, local and regional governments have drawn up entrepreneurial strate...
