The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has reduced the sense of security of people in everyday life. The efforts of managers in the workplace to minimize the health risks and economic damage, however, can provide the employees with a greater sense of security. The aim of this study was to identify the types of workplace responses to the pandemic outbreak with respect to the characteristics of employees and their employers accomplishing the differences in subjective sense of workplace security before the pandemic and during the outbreak. Three hundred and thirty-seven Polish employees completed an online survey during the first 2 weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Using …
DIAGNOSIS IN CORPUS HIPPOCRATICUM: (ALSO) A QUESTION OF TRUST
2017
In this article we will begin by giving a general overview of diagnosis in Corpus Hippocraticum, by analyzing its epistemological structure. We will then focus on the following three strictly connected questions: - What is the role of the narrative dimension, and in particular the relationship between semeia and logoi, in diagnostic process? - What role does trust (pistis) play - in different ways - in the diagnostic process in the triadic relation of doctor-patient-disease? - Is there a relationship between the role of trust and the epistemological status of medical diagnosis?
Do microfinance rating assessments make sense? An analysis of the drivers of the MFI ratings
2011
Rating assessments of microfinance institutions are claimed to measure a combination of creditworthiness, trustworthiness and excellence in microfinance. Using a global dataset covering reports from 324 microfinance institutions, this study suggests that these ratings are mainly driven by size, profitability, and risk. The ratings do not seem to capture the double bottom-line objective of microfinance institutions, as our analyses are unable to prove any statistical relationship between microfinance ratings and the social objectives of these institutions. Moreover, the association between operational efficiency and microfinance ratings appears weak. Although there are some minor differences…

KOMUNIKASI NIKLAS LUHMANN DALAM MEMBANGUN KERUKUNAN ANTAR UMAT BERAGAMA DI WILAYAH PERKOTAAN

Religious plurality in the era of globalization is a necessity in the midst of cultural heterogeneity, religious expression and religion itself. Religious plurality has a very large potential and role in the process of integrating the development of the Indonesian nation in the future. However, on the other hand, religious plurality contains the potential for conflict and disintegration of the nation, because the dominance of the absolute truth claims of each religion so that emotions become the basis of interaction and communication. Therefore, communication becomes a pillar of religious harmony. To achieve religious harmony, this research uses a qualitative-descriptive method that puts wi…
Consumers' perceptions of mobile banking continuous usage in Finland and South Africa
2015
This study examines continuous usage behaviour related to mobile banking (m-banking) among consumers living in Finland (FI) and South Africa (ZA). The study investigates three post-adoption behavioural consequences - namely, trust, satisfaction and word of mouth. Using purposeful sampling techniques, we found that trust plays a significant role in promoting continuous usage of m-banking. In general, the respondents reported high levels of trust in m-banking technology and were satisfied with the m-banking application and services. In addition, convenience, user friendliness and speed emerged as the main sub-topics related to satisfaction. In most cases, the convenience of using m-banking do…
Trust-aware RBAC
2012
Published version of a chapter in the book: Computer Network Security. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33704-8_9 In this paper we propose a trust-aware enhancement of RBAC (TA-RBAC) that takes trustworthiness of users into consideration explicitly before granting access. We assume that each role in the framework is associated with an expression that describe trustworthiness of subjects required to be able to activate the role, and each subject (user) has assigned trustworthiness level in the system. By adding trustworthiness constraints to roles we enhance system, for example, with more flexible ability to delegate roles, to control reading/updating…
Consumption values and mobile banking services : understanding the urban-rural dichotomy in a developing economy
2021
PurposeThis study develops a theoretical model of consumption values regarding the technology adoption of mobile banking (m-banking) services, with the financial service sector as the empirical context. This study aims to evaluate whether consumption values influence trust and intention. Furthermore, the authors explore how the consumer type (i.e. urban vs rural) differs in consumption values regarding adopting m-banking services.Design/methodology/approachThe data for this study were gathered from 246 responses collected from individuals living in a country with a developing market, using a survey instrument. The six study hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equat…
Concentrazioni [dir. comm.]
2015
Il controllo delle concentrazioni è, insieme alla repressione delle intese restrittive della concorrenza e degli abusi di posizione dominante, parte essenziale di tutte le discipline antitrust vigenti nel modo industrializzato. La disciplina italiana, contenuta nella l. n. 287/90, è largamente ispirata a quella europea, introdotta con il Reg. n. 4064/89, anche se tra i due sistemi sussistevano alcune differenze, per lo più limitate ad aspetti procedimentali. Con il Reg. 139/04 la disciplina europea ha però subito modifiche anche di rilievo sostanziale, alle quali il legislatore italiano non ha ritenuto, fino ad oggi, di doversi conformare. Merger control is, along with the repression of ant…
