The effectiveness of leadership development in the military context from a gender viewpoint

2021

In this case study, leadership development is investigated from the viewpoint of women in a military context. In particular, the effectiveness of a leadership development program in a specific context, namely the Finnish Defence Forces, is explored. The program being studied is unique because it is concerned with developing volunteers, not professional soldiers. A longitudinal, interview-based study of the topic was conducted with women who had participated in the program. The data consists of 45 open-ended interviews with 15 women. Each woman was interviewed three times: at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the program. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. The result…

PHOTOGRAMMETRIC TECHNIQUES FOR PROMOTION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE: THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF PARMA (ITALY)

2016

Abstract. In a context rich in history and cultural heritage, such as the Italian one, promotion and enhancement of historical evidences are crucial. The paper describes the case study of the Archaeological Museum of Parma, which, for the main part, conserves evidences found in the roman archaeological site of Veleia (Piacenza, Italy). To enhance the comprehension of the past, the project aims to promote the exhibits through new digital contents, in particular 3D models and AR applications, to improve their usability by the public. Projects like this pose some difficulties especially in data acquisition and restitution due to complexity of the objects and their dimension and position that a…

Las dimensiones filosófica y antropológica de la interpretación educativa

2006

The central thesis sustained in this article focuses on the idea that any complete educational exposition needs a philosophical an anthropological dimension. This article presents three philosophical conceptions which sustain and give coverage to the disciplines that are taught in some Spanish universities: Oviedo, Granada and Valencia. Although these positions are quite different they share a common starting point: the defence of a philosophical conception as the basis of the Theory of the Education.

Using Factor Analysis in Relationship Marketing

2013

Abstract The purpose of the paper is to present a detailed application of the factor analysis technique within the domain of relationship marketing. A comprehensive literature review is undertaken regarding the concept of customer loyalty – an important variable of relationship marketing. Loyalty is defined by its two dimensions – behavioral and attitudinal; the second dimension is understood through the three components of the human psyche: affective, cognitive and conative. Conative Loyalty is measured through four items which are statistically and semantically reduced to two items without a heavy loss of information.

Science teachers’ perceptions of the current situation of planetary emergency

2003

During the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio in 1992 educators of every subject were asked to contribute to public awareness and understanding of the problems and challenges related to our planet’s future, in order to make possible citizens’ participation in well grounded decision-making. The purpose of our contribution is to analyse what science teachers’ perceptions are, because without correct teacher perception of the planetary crisis and its possible solutions, we can’t expect their effective implication in this dimension of education.

Consumers’ Sustainability Perceptions of the Supply Chain of Locally Produced Food

2010

This article is based on a qualitative focus group study regarding consumer perceptions about the sustainability of locally produced food supply chains. Sustainability perceptions were analyzed through thematic content analysis, where the most important economic, environmental and social themes of the supply chain were emphasized. According to the research findings, the socio-cultural aspects encompassing locally produced food form the most important sustainability dimension for consumers. Although the sample size is small, consisting of 19 consumers and limited to Central Finland, the findings suggest that the sustainability of local food should be promoted via socio-cultural arguments alo…

The Covid-19 containment effects of public health measures - A spatial difference-in-differences approach

2020

AbstractSince mid-March 2020 the Federal and state governments in Germany agreed on comprehensive public health measures to curb the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infections leading to the Covid-19 disease. We study the containment effects of these policy interventions on the progression of the pandemic in the first containment phase in spring 2020 before the easing of restrictions may become effective by the end of April. To exploit both the temporal and spatial dimension in the dissemination of the virus, we conduct a spatial panel data analysis for German NUTS-3 regions. Specifically, we employ a spatial difference-in-differences approach to identify the effects of six compound sets of public hea…

Social research evolution in management accounting : reflection using Bunge’s theory

2004

Abstract Actually Management Accounting is considered for an important group of researchers as a social science. This is a consequence of an evolution from an economic view to social-oriented perspectives. Following Mario Bunge’s theory, we establish that break point in 1980s. Until 1980s, the accounting research was dominated by an economic analysis with both utilitarian and cognitive objectives. The scientific growth was in surface , without any relevant change in the foundations of Management Accounting. The development of new concerns regarding social implications promotes a growth in-depth in the 1980s. Socio-economic analysis, both in interpretative and critical research, is developed…

RÓŻNORODNOŚĆ GRZYBÓW STRZĘPKOWYCH W POWIETRZU I FRAKCJI OPADAJĄCEJ NA POWIERZCHNIĘ MAGAZYNÓW ZBOŻOWYCH ORAZ W PRZECHOWYWANYM ZIARNIE ZBÓŻ

2017

Magazynowanie zbóż jest jednym z najważniejszych etapów łańcucha produkcji żywności. Zanieczyszczenia mikrobiologiczne, a w szczególności grzybami strzępkowymi mogą obniżać jakość przechowywanego ziarna oraz pośrednio generować straty ekonomiczne i niekorzystnie oddziaływać na zdrowie ludzi. Celem przeprowadzanych badań była ocena różnorodności grzybów strzępkowych obecnych w powietrzu i frakcji opadającej na powierzchnię magazynów zbożowych oraz w przechowywanym ziarnie zbóż. Badania przeprowadzono w magazynach płaskich w czasie składowania zbóż. Ogólną liczbę grzybów strzępkowych w powietrzu magazynowym oznaczono metodą wolumetryczną przy użyciu aparatu MAS-100 firmy MERCK w siedmiu wyzna…
