La economía social ¿alternativa a la gestión pública o vanguardia de la privatización de servicios? Una definición del sector de servicios de apoyo a…
2001
A number of social economy organizations with different legal forms have appeared in Spain since the eighties and have developed a growing activity in the provision of personal support services, usually in the private management of public services and occasionally in the private sector. The novelty of this type of organization, the peculiarities of their origin and business development, their uncertain future and the relevance of the experience accumulated in the short but intensive years of their existence - as well as their importance in job creation and in training professionals in social intervention - justify a detailed study of their current situation with regard to resource bases and…
Evaluating End-user Support : Validating the Use of Multiple Media in a CSCW Application
2006
Human-centred views on information systems are gaining more and more attention in IS community. The need to evaluate information systems from such a perspective is thus evident. In this paper, we exploit our earlier developed theoretical framework for evaluating end-user support in information systems, and demonstrate its usage in validating the use of multiple communication and collaboration media in a CSCW application. The evaluation is performed in terms of user perception in ISD process, users’ role in organizational information processing, and users’ behavioural nuances. Our study shows that a context specific theoretical framework is useful in validating the empirical results of syste…
Synteza i charakterystyka kompleksów tytanu kowalencyjnie związanych z nośnikiem krzemionkowym oraz ich właściwości katalityczne w (ko)polimeryzacji …
2017
Zsyntezowano i scharakteryzowano dwa nowe ligandy wielodonorowe, amino-bis(fenolanowy) oraz fenoksyiminowy, kowalencyjnie związane z nośnikiem krzemionkowym, które następnie poddano reakcji z TiCl4. Zsyntezowane nośnikowe kompleksy tytanu, po uprzedniej ich aktywacji przy użyciu różnych związków glinoorganicznych oraz tetrakis(pentafluorofenylo)boranu tritylu, przetestowano w homopolimeryzacji etylenu i 1-oktenu, oraz w kopolimeryzacji tych olefin. Badane katalizatory wykazują niewielką aktywność w tych procesach, przy czym najaktywniejszy okazał się kompleks 1 zawierający ligand amino-bis(fenolanowy) aktywowany MAO. Kompleks ten polimeryzuje również 1-okten, dając produkt o zawartości pent…
Management Accounting as a Knowledge Based Organization Value Driver for the 21st Century Business
2017
The 21st century information and information technology revolution has made its mark onclassical business functions like business support services. Management accounting, a still youngbusiness activity has transformed from reactive cost determination focus to proactive valuecreating and considerate resource business driver. Management accounting is on the way toasserting itself as a proactive business value driver for the modern 21st century businessorganizations. The present paper is presenting the arguments that support the transformation ofmanagement accounting from the “bean counter” score keeping role to value driver supported byknowledge, the prime commodity of the 21st century busine…
Aberrant brain functional networks in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A graph theoretical and support-vector machine approach
2022
ObjectiveType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a high risk of cognitive decline and dementia, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clearly understood. This study aimed to explore the functional connectivity (FC) and topological properties among whole brain networks and correlations with impaired cognition and distinguish T2DM from healthy controls (HC) to identify potential biomarkers for cognition abnormalities.MethodsA total of 80 T2DM and 55 well-matched HC were recruited in this study. Subjects’ clinical data, neuropsychological tests and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired. Whole-brain network FC were mapped, the topological characteristics were ana…
Hume’s Guillotine Resolved
2020
According to Hume’s guillotine, one cannot derive values from facts. Since intelligent systems are fact processors, one can ask how ethical machines can be possible. However, ethics is a real-life process. People analyze actions and situations emotionally and cognitively. Thus they learn rules, such as “this situation feels good/bad.” The cognitive analysis of actions is associated with emotional analysis. The association of action, emotion and cognition can be termed a primary ethical schema. Through an ethical information process in which emotions and cognitions interact in social discourse, primary ethical schemas are refined into ethical norms. Each component of the process is different…

Requirements for using simulation to design and assess wireless ATM handover solutions
1999
Wireless ATM (WATM) has been widely considered as a solution for broadband wireless services. Handover is one of the most important mobility support functions in the WATM network. Many handover solutions have been proposed, analysed, and benchmarked. Simulations have been broadly used to assess these solutions. However, there are many dilemmas in how simulation has been applied as a research methodology: heterogeneous simulation systems used, lack of comparison with other related work, biased conclusions, and unavailability of simulation models and systems to researchers. The WATM research community lacks a standard and commonly acceptable methodology for applying simulation. To address thi…
Diaries of family workers: empowerment and working with families with children
2013
[Introduction] The renewal of the family services and the developing of new kinds of functional structures are seen as a challenge for social policy in Finland. In the past few years there has been an increase in projects and new services with different working methods for supporting families with children. Many projects still concentrate on corrective work although preventive services should be emphasized more. It has been argued that the existing structure of services does not entirely correspond with the service needs of families with children. The reform of the municipal and service structure has made the development of the preventive services and different projects an even more topical…
