Neutron scattering and imaging: a tool for archaeological studies
2015
International audience; Neutron scattering and neutron imaging are powerful techniques for studying the structure of objects without damage, which is an essential prerequisite for investigations in Cultural Heritage domain, particularly in Archaeology. The deep penetration of neutrons in most materials allows for the study of relatively large objects. The contrast between similar materials, like metals in alloys, or that due to the presence of hydrogen atoms gives information about the internal structure of objects that have been modified or repaired in the past. Imaging and tomography give a 3-dimensional view of the whole object, permitting discrimination between different parts of the ob…
Examining Mechanisms of Personality Maturation
2012
Individuals are expected to mature with increasing age, but it is not yet fully understood which factors contribute to this maturation process. Using data of a representative sample of Germans ( N = 14,718) who gave information about their Big Five personality traits twice over a period of 4 years, the authors identified satisfaction with life, which was reported yearly, as an important variable for explaining mechanisms and interindividual differences in personality maturation. Dual latent change models suggest that more satisfied (compared to less satisfied) individuals experience more positive changes in Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness and that positive changes…
Podstawowe samowartościowanie - walidacja polskiej wersji skali do pomiaru Core Self-Evaluations
2017
Praca przedstawia walidację polskiej wersji skali do pomiaru podstawowego samowartościowania (Core Self-Evaluations – CSES; Judge, Erez, Bono i Thorensen, 2003). Podstawowe samowartościowanie to poglądy danej osoby, dotyczące jej skuteczności, zdolności, wiary we własne siły i pozytywnego nastawienia do siebie i świata. Koncepcja skali jest konstruktem opartym o indywidualne zmienne dyspozycyjne, często badane w kontekście organizacyjnym. Są to: samoocena, wewnętrzne umiejscowienie kontroli, zgeneralizowana samoskuteczność oraz pozytywna afektywność. Na podstawie danych z pięciu badań przeprowadzonych w latach 2014-2016, na łącznie n=3207 osób, w większości pracujących, udało się potwierdzi…
Impacto de la Ley de la Dependencia en los Servicios Sociales Generales
2011
Todas las personas en situación de dependencia son usuarias de los servicios sociales, pero no todos los usuarios/as de los servicios sociales son personas en situación de dependencia. Para avanzar en la consolidación del cuarto Pilar del Estado de Bienestar Social es preciso la aplicación de la Ley de promoción de la autonomía personal y atención a las personas en situación de dependencia a la vez de elaborar nuevas Leyes de servicios sociales que formulen nuevos derechos subjetivos 'que puedan ser reclamados administrativa y jurídicamente' y ordenen racionalmente el sector, definiendo un sistema integrado. Detrás de todas las cifras hay PERSONAS con derecho a una mayor autonomía y atenció…
El rol del modelo de las competencias en la reconfiguración meritocrática de las pautas de negociación salarial en empresas argentinas: continuidades…
2020
The development of new models of work organization and the complementary advance of flexible guidelines for the use of the labor force had as a correlate a profound change in techniques for the evaluation of workers. Thus, the typical model of Fordism, based on qualifications, was replaced by a different one based on competencies, whereby the strong relationship of the former was abandoned with the determination of the technical knowledge required for each job to move to a system which the priority is placed in the individual attitude. The consequent individualization of performance evaluations can lead to a possible loss of objectivity. In this article we develop a theoretical comparison b…
WHY DO OBJECTIVE WAGE LEVELS HAVE LESSER IMPACT THAN RELATIVE EARNINGS ON WORK SATISFACTION? COMPARISON OF OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE WORK EVALUATIONS …
2017
One of the main factors determining job selection decisions are wage levels. Yet a lot of studies show that wages have only a small, diminishing impact on job (and life) satisfaction (Easterlin, 2011; Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2002; Kahnemann and Keaton, 2010). Especially, the short term positive wage-increase effect, is moderated by attained level of income in relation to other’s people earnings (Clark, 2011). This allows for the hypothesis, that the individual evaluation of work compensation will have a stronger impact on work satisfaction than the direct effect of wages has. The presented study compares psychological and economical variable’s impact on job satisfaction. The results, in w…
Technical-economical evaluation for distributed storage applications. An Italian case study for a medium-scale public facility
2014
Time-of-use energy cost management involves the use of storage by customers to reduce their electricity bills. This can be accomplished by charging the storage during off-peak time periods, when electricity energy prices are low, and discharging it during times when on-peak energy prices are applied. This article addresses the question whether it is economically viable to install medium-scale distributed storage devices in the power system designed to lower the electricity cost for a customer-side application, assuming flexible electricity tariffs. The technical/economical evaluation is carried out referring to Lithium ion (Li-ion), Sodium Sulphur (NaS) and Vanadium Redox Battery (VRB) tech…

This research work adresses the prediction of success after a training scheme (success in university examination, integration of job seekers after a training session) on the basis of 1/ subjective indicators at the end of training: satisfaction or subjective learning and 2/ individuals' variables (self-efficacy, locus of control, self-esteem, optimism and core self-evaluation). Our results show that, compared to training evaluation models, subjective indicators at the end of training do not appear to be good predictors of success. In addition, if individuals' variables are sometimes predictable of success, this seems to be related to the mere fact that they represent high values in students…
Factor Structure and Longitudinal Factorial Validity of the Core Self-Evaluation Scale
2018
Abstract. The personality high-order concept of core self-evaluations (CSE), which refers to a basic evaluation of one’s worth, capability, and effectiveness, has attracted a lot of research interest. Yet little is known about the construct validity of the core self-evaluation scale (CSES) while information on its longitudinal factorial validity is wholly lacking. This study investigated the factor structure of the CSES using both confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis implemented in Mplus program. In addition, the factor loading invariance over time was investigated using exploratory structural equation modeling. Longitudinal data with three follow-ups over 2 years, gathered among u…
