The essay focuses on the workers’ privacy, as regulated in art. 4 of the Italian labour protection act (St. lav.) and in the new EU GDPR. The A. analyses the links between the two sets of rules and their combined effect. A specific attention is dedicated to the sanctions against the infringement of the provisions of the abovementioned art. 4. This topic is especially studied with regard to the pos

On Boredom in Winter Sleep

In this work, we focus on the film Winter Sleep (2014) by Nuri Bilge Ceylan,whose works place special emphasis on various aspects of boredom. As one of the main figures in slow cinema, Ceylan, in this influential work of art, enable us to explore boredom through three main characters: Aydın (Haluk Bilginer), Nihal (Melisa Sözen) and Necla (Demet Akbağ). By taking a closer look at the film, we anal

Software testing in open innovation : An exploratory case study of the acceptance test harness for Jenkins

Open Innovation (OI) has gained significant attention since the term was introduced in 2003. However, little is known whether general software testing processes are well suited for OI. An exploratory case study on the Acceptance Test Harness (ATH) is conducted to investigate OI testing activities of Jenkins. As far as the research methodology is concerned, we extracted the change log data of ATH f

Requirements engineering in open innovation : A research agenda

In recent years Open Innovation (OI) has gained much attention and made firms aware that they need to consider the open environment surrounding them. To facilitate this shift Requirements Engineering (RE) needs to be adapted in order to manage the increase and complexity of new requirements sources as well as networks of stakeholders. In response we build on and advance an earlier proposed softwar

A transformation of the Memorial Site in Katyn

In the wake of the deterioration of relations between modern Russia and Poland, the Katyn memorial has become a scene for the contestation of historical memory. In order to play down the 1940 executions of Polish military officers in Katyn, the Russian government has granted belated official recognition to 8,000 victims of Stalinism in the Smolensk region. After being brushed under the carpet in t

Two-color XUV+NIR femtosecond photoionization of neon in the near-threshold region

Results of angle-resolved electron spectroscopy of near-threshold photoionization of Ne atoms by combined femtosecond extreme ultraviolet and near infrared fields are presented. The dressed-electron spectra show an energetic distribution into so-called sidebands, being separated by the photon energy of the dressing laser. Surprisingly, for the low kinetic energy (few eV) sidebands, the photoelectr

Single-shooting optimization of an industrial process through co-simulation of a modularized Aspen Plus Dynamics model

The Python Module Coupler (PyMoC) is a tool for co-simulation of Aspen Plus Dynamics modules that together make up an overall process flowsheet. The tool requires only user input in the form of file paths to Aspen Plus Dynamics modules, and it is able to automatically make the required connections there between, and keep track of the simulation whilst updating the streams regularly. This contribut

Losing a parent to cancer as a teenager : Family cohesion in childhood, teenage, and young adulthood as perceived by bereaved and non-bereaved youths

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate levels of perceived family cohesion during childhood, teenage years, and young adulthood in cancer-bereaved youths compared with non-bereaved peers.METHODS: In this nationwide, population-based study, 622 (73%) young adults (aged 18-26) who had lost a parent to cancer 6 to 9 years previously, when they were teenagers (aged 13-16), and 330 (78%) n

Influence of fissure inclination and confining pressure on the local behaviour of natural clays

In this experimental study the influence of fissuring orientation and confinement pressure on the mechanical behaviour of natural clays is investigated. The tested material, the scaly clay from Santa Croce di Magliano (south of Italy), is characterised by an intense network of pre-existing fissures of single orientation. Several plane strain compression tests have been conducted, under different c

T cells from BB-DP rats show a unique cytokine mRNA profile associated with the IDDMI susceptibility gene, LYP

Diabetes prone biobreeding rats display several abnormalites in T cell numbers, T cell function and T cell surface phenotype which are associated with the onset of spontaneous disease. One of the most pronounced abnormalities in these animals is a marked T cell lymphopenia which is evident in both CD4+ and CD8+ peripheral T cell subsets. To gain a better understanding as to the nature of T cell re

Will science and proven experience converge or diverge? : The ontological considerations

Proven experience can be shared. Given this, we cannot assume that the character of proven experience is always manifest as a physical token in each individual sharing it. But the token might still exist somewhere. Perhaps that is a condition of the proven experience’s existence. Something similar could have been accepted as true of scientific knowledge, especially if those who argued that scienti

The will to activate library users and the making of citizens : How different rationalities influence the notion of participation in a library context

In this paper, we explore how the notion of participation informs policy documents in a public library context. Today, library users to a large extent are expected to manage on their own and society calls for self-governing, active subjects who are willing to participate. To explore the notion of participation we utilize the concept of problematization and conduct a text analysis of policy documenThis article explores how the notion of participation informs policy documents in a public library context.

Att skapa självstyrande individer; effektivitet och motrörelser : Styrningsrationalitet och icke-rationalitet i bibliotek med obemannade öppettider

Med hjälp av en Foucaultinspirerad utgångspunkt undersöker avhandlingen folkbibliotek i Danmark och Sverige med obemannade öppettider. Genom att fokusera på styrningen av användarna analyserar jag biblioteket från ett nytt perspektiv. Jag förstår bibliotek med obemannade öppettider som självstyrning dragen till sin spets och en analys av dessa bibliotek är också en analys av den styrning som prägl

Calibration of the photon spectrometer PHOS of the ALICE experiment

The procedure for the energy calibration of the high granularity electromagnetic calorimeter PHOS of the ALICE experiment is presented. The methods used to perform the relative gain calibration, to evaluate the geometrical alignment and the corresponding correction of the absolute energy scale, to obtain the nonlinearity correction coefficients and finally, to calculate the time-dependent calibrat

Subsequent Event Risk in Individuals With Established Coronary Heart Disease

BACKGROUND: The Genetics of Subsequent Coronary Heart Disease (GENIUS-CHD) consortium was established to facilitate discovery and validation of genetic variants and biomarkers for risk of subsequent CHD events, in individuals with established CHD. METHODS: The consortium currently includes 57 studies from 18 countries, recruiting 185 614 participants with either acute coronary syndrome, stable CHD

Intake of fibre and plant foods and the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a large prospective cohort study in Sweden

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate fibre, and plant foods, and its association with AAA risk. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, baseline data collection was carried out 1991–1996. The study participants’ (n = 26,133) dietary habits were extensively recorded at baseline. The specific diagnosis of AAA in the in-hospital registry was found vali
