There are currently numerous web services that provide the user with the opportunity to download geodata. These services are often different regarding what type of data they provide and the way they distribute the data. Another aspect that differs between these services is if the download of geodata is free of charge (open) or subject to a fee. There is currently a trend in the society striving to
The purpose of this study was to gain a greater understanding on how healthcare workers, particularly caregivers of elderly and dementia patients, are impacted by a Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training and to explore the reasons a manager has for incorporating these types of trainings. Within the scope of this qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with nine careg
Urban areas are responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. Megacities, especially, have cumulative impacts due to different anthropogenic heat sources and urban heat island phenomena. It is therefore vital to replace fossil fuel burning heating sources with renewable sources in the current building stock. Renewable energy sources can be applied through building energy retrofit
Positive aspects of fathers’ involvement in parenting are broadly recognized, but challenges faced by fathers are often neglected and postpartum depression (PPD) is still mainly considered as a problem of mothers. Yet, new evidence suggests a similar prevalence of about 10 % in fathers and mothers. The present study investigated paternal PPD, its character and its links to attachment styles, paren
This thesis is constructed on an examination of the global principles and operational methods of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and their linkage to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). These phenomena have implications for the sustainable banking business, which aims to deliver banking products and services aligned with a triple-bottom-line corporate approach contributing to sustainable
The field of Cognitive Psychology has discovered a large number of automatic and systematic errors of judgement that humans make. These are called cognitive biases and cause irrational behavior in diverse contexts. Prior research has found that cognitive biases can cause irrational behavior in companies. For example company functions, such as planning, have been found to suffer from systematic err
The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change represents the state of knowledge of anthropogenic disruption to the climate system, its diverse ecosystem and societal impacts, and the imperative for and challenges of mitigation and adaptation responses. It is foundational for global climate policymaking. This paper examines the place of tourism in AR6 and review
Background: Return-to-work (RTW) resources for persons with mental health disorders are limited and costs are typically shared by several stakeholders in society. Occupational therapists (OT) provide RTW interventions for this target group, however, increased knowledge of health, and employment effects, as well as costs are needed to better inform decision makers in their prioritisations. Aims/obj
Mycobacterial infections, including tuberculosis, are a major health problem globally. Prevention and treatments of tuberculosis are challenging due to the poor efficacy of the current vaccine and the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Therefore, it is critical to increase our basic understanding of mycobacterial virulence strategies as well as the host immune response during infection in the co
Today’s traffic is one of the main concerns of urban managers. One of the solutions that have been proposed to reduce traffic is encourage people to use public transport instead of personal vehicles, so the quality of public transport should be increased. One way promoting public transport systems quality is creating urban traveler guidance system. In other hand, public transportation network is l
Background and Aim: Strategies to modify and adjust the educational setting in mainstream education for autistic students are under-researched. Hence, this review aims to identify qualitative research results of adaptation and modification strategies to support inclusive education for autistic students at school and classroom levels. Method: In this systematic review, four databases were searched.
Shared electric scooters (e-scooters) have been rapidly growing in popularity across Europe over the past three years, which can bring various environmental and socioeconomic benefits. However, how to further improve the usage efficiency of shared e-scooters is still a major concern for micro-mobility operators and city planners. This paper proposes a machine learning based approach to predict the
The aim of this article is to explore the opportunities of using theoretical concepts as way of gaining a shared language for people participating in an active labour market program (ALMP). The investigated programme offered vocational education preparing for work in eldercare to unemployed individuals. Data was collected through interviews with ten participants and two teachers, and through obser
There is a lack of knowledge among food manufacturers about adopting the Internet of Things (IoT)-based water monitoring system and its ability to support water minimisation activities. It is therefore necessary to investigate the applicability of IoT-based real-time water monitoring systems in a real food manufacturing environment to pursue water-saving opportunities accordingly. This article aim
In this work, a computationally efficient evolutionary algorithm is proposed for estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) of coherently distributed (CD) sources corrupted by additive impulsive noise. The typical method, such as distributed signal parameter estimation (DSPE) method, requires a 2-D spectral peak search and cannot allow for coherent signals. The proposed method in this article uses
Strategy is considered one of the most central concepts in public relationsresearch and practice. However, public relations strategizing, i.e., the doingof strategy, remains a black-box concept in public relations and wouldbenefit from additional approaches to theorizing strategy. This conceptualarticle draws upon strategy-as-practice, practice theory, and the existentialistnotion of human modes o
Purpose in life, which is a central component of the eudaimonic paradigm of well-being, has been sparsely examined in adolescence. This is unfortunate as adolescence is characterised by identity development and is a key period for the onset of mental disorders. To inform future research on well-being and purpose in life in adolescents, we drew factors from several fields of research, including men
Background: Individuals undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer frequently request information before, throughout and after the treatment as a means to reduce distress. Nevertheless, the provision of information to meet individuals needs from their level of health literacy is often overlooked. Thus, individuals information needs are often unmet, leading to reports of discontent. Internet an
Aim: To further develop the Person-Centred Care instrument for outpatient care (PCCoc), evaluate its user-friendliness and content validity, and to explore its basic psychometric properties in various outpatient settings for adults with long-term conditions. Background: Person-centred care (PCC) has been identified as a key factor to provide high-quality care. However, there is still a lack of ins
