Creative Network Communities in the Translocal Space of Digital Networks
2013
What should sociological research be in the age of Web 2.0? Considering that the task of “network sociology” is not only empirical research but also the interpretation of tendencies of the network culture, this research explores the rise of network communities within Eastern and Western Europe in the early Internet era. I coined the term creative networks to distinguish these early creative and social activities from today’s popular social networking. Thus I aimed to interpret the meaning of social action; the motivation of creative community actors, their main fields of activities and social organization forms; and the potential that these early developments contain for the future sustaina…
Which technical factors explain competition performance in air rifle shooting?
2017
The purpose of this study was to analyze whether the same shooting technical components determining performance in testing situation also affect performance in competition situation and how the technical skill level of these components changes from training to competition. Thirteen Finnish national (10) and junior national (3) rifle team members participated in the study. Participants were measured in competition and training situation within a five-day period. Shooting score, aiming point trajectory and postural balance were measured from both situations. Shooting performance decreased from training to competition situation (10.31 ± 0.13 vs. 10.14 ± 0.17, p < 0.05), accompanied by a de…
La conformità dei prodotti agli standard tecnici tra tutela del consumatore e limiti alla responsabilità del fabbricante
2022
La crescente rilevanza assunta dalla normazione tecnica nell’ambito della disciplina della sicurezza dei prodotti si riflette su plurimi profili che investono sia la responsabilità del fabbricante per i danni cagionati da un prodotto non conforme, e quindi difettoso, sia la più complessa questione concernente la responsabilità per i danni derivanti dall’utilizzo di un prodotto conforme agli standard legislativi, ma nondimeno pericoloso. Proprio nell’ambito di questa peculiare questione si riscontra un rinnovato interesse per il severo regime di responsabilità contemplato dall’art. 2050 c.c. che da una parte fornisce una maggiore tutela al consumatore, ma, dall’altra, costituisce un ostacolo…
La integración de la Atención a la Dependencia en los Servicios Sociales Municipales del Ayuntamiento de Sagunto
2011
El cuarto Pilar del Bienestar Social es el sistema de Servicios Sociales, la atención a la dependencia debería ser considerada un subsistema del sistema de Servicios Sociales, el catalogo de prestaciones que recoge la Ley de Autonomía Personal y Atención a las Personas en Situación de Dependencia (Ley 39/2006) se corresponde con las prestaciones reconocidas en las leyes de servicios sociales de las diferentes Comunidades Autónomas, todas ellas aprobadas con anterioridad a la Ley 39/2006. La implantación por parte de la Generalitat Valenciana de la Ley de atención a la dependencia puede vulnerar el principio de Autonomía Local recogido en varios marcos normativos. La visión de atención integ…
Models and Streams of Data Journalism
2015
This paper presents the initial results of a two-year research project, the Data Journalism Work Practices, which focuses on newsrooms in Finland, UK and US. Data journalism or data-driven journalism has been defined simply as journalism based on large data sets (or big data) Rogers 2011; Bounegru et al. 2012). According to our ongoing research on data journalism work methods, we can claim this has been an oversimplification. In this paper we will argue that all the brief definitions of data journalism lack nuances, and the multiple layers that contemporary data journalism already consists of in newsrooms. Based on six interviews of leading Finnish, American and British data journalists we …

Nonlinear Time-Series Adaptation for Land Cover Classification
2017
Automatic land cover classification from satellite image time series is of paramount relevance to assess vegetation and crop status, with important implications in agriculture, biofuels, and food. However, due to the high cost and human resources needed to characterize and classify land cover through field campaigns, a recurrent limiting factor is the lack of available labeled data. On top of this, the biophysical–geophysical variables exhibit particular temporal structures that need to be exploited. Land cover classification based on image time series is very complex because of the data manifold distortions through time. We propose the use of the kernel manifold alignment (KEMA) method for…
Meta-Level Modelling of e-Education Ecosystem in Multicultural Context
2017
A sociotechnical system is a complex inter-relationship of people and technology, including hardware, software, data, physical and virtual surroundings, people, procedures, laws and regulations. An e-Education environment is a particularly complex example of a sociotechnical system that requires equal support for user needs and technological innovations. The challenge for eEducation environment development is that in addition to the producers, users, domain experts and software developers, pedagogical experts are also key stakeholders. In our paper, we discuss different meta-aspects and components of modelling e-Education ecosystems in multicultural contexts. peerReviewed
Efficiency, costs and market power analysis of the Spanish Port System
2021
El presente trabajo tiene diferentes objetivos. El primero es calcular la eficiencia técnica de las autoridades portuarias en la prestación de servicios sobre tráfico de mercancías y pasajeros en el periodo 2002- 2018. Para llevar a cabo este objetivo, se utiliza una función distancia orientada al output y se estima la eficiencia técnica a partir de una función frontera del tipo estocástico (SFA). Del mismo modo, se emplea la metodología no paramétrica (DEA) bajo dos supuestos alternativos, o bien bajo rendimientos constantes a escala (modelo de Charnes, Cooper y Rhodes, 1978), o bien bajo rendimientos variables a escala (modelo de Banker, Charnes y Cooper, 1984). Este análisis nos permite …
Does population genetic structure support present management regulations of the northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in Skagerrak and the North Sea?
2014
AbstractPopulation structuring in the northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in the North Sea area (including Fladen and Skagerrak) was studied by microsatellite DNA analyses. Screening 20 sample locations in the open ocean and Skagerrak fjords for nine loci revealed low, but significant genetic heterogeneity. The spatial genetic structure among oceanic samples of Skagerrak and the eastern North Sea was weak and non-significant, consistent with the current management regime of one single stock. However, Skagerrak fjord samples generally displayed elevated levels of genetic differentiation, and significantly so in several pairwise comparisons with other fjords and oceanic samples. Although the …
