Triadic Perspective to Sport Sponsorship Relationships
No full textOften the empirical studies about sport sponsorship co-operation have concentrated on the relationships between the sponsor and the sponsored target excluding the phenomenon sports manager, i.e. the intermediating actor from further examination. In this study the purpose was to contribute to the research gap in the current literature by thoroughly describing the roles and relationships in the sport sponsorship co-operation that includes an intermediating actor, that is a triad. The main objective was pursued to fulfill with the help of two sub-level research questions that were identified as ”What is the nature of the sport sponsorship triad?” and ”What is the role of the intermediating actor within the sport sponsorship triad?”
First, the theorethical framework was constructed based on the existing literature of business relationship triads and sponsorship co-operation that were integrated in the synthesis of the theories the purpose of which was to produce a framework for empirical research. Then a qualitative research was conducted by using a single-case study approach. The data was collected through a semi-structured theme interview in person with the sports manager. Similar questionnaires were sent out to the sponsor and the athlete and answered in writing. After collecting the data, the actor roles’ and their relationships were examined individually, after which the analysis of the results was carried out and divided according to the research questions.
The nature of the sport sponsorship triad was found to be a serial triad that could be likened to a system of two dyads connected by the intermediating actor. Each actor seemed to occupy a specific justifiable position within the co-operation, even though the relationships were found to be unbalanced in terms of resources, power/strength, interaction patterns and interconnectedness. The core role of the intermediating actor was found to be the role of a mediator, which was seen to increase the other parties’ dependence of the manager’s performance. Therefore, the role of the intermediating actor should be considered crucial for the very existence of the sport sponsorship co-operation, especially in cases where the nature of the triad is a serial triad.siirretty Doriast
Integrated, Automated, and Reproducible Nuclear Data Processing at the NEA
No full textEnsuring data preservation is a top priority for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Data Bank. Within this context, “preserving data” encompasses activities such as verifying, processing, sharing, improving, and storing the data. The NEA aims to automate these processes to the greatest extent possible, with the goal of providing the JEFF community with reproducible, high-quality data. To achieve this, the Data Bank has chosen to utilize GitLab, a web-based distributed Version Control System that facilitates the collaboration of different users. The author will present the current progress of the NEA pipeline, an ongoing collaborative initiative aimed at standardizing the processing, verification, and validation of nuclear data

No full textA Weight of Seleucia in Pieria in Nea Paphos
No full textArchaeological excavations carried out by a mission from the Jagiellonian University Institute of Archaeology on the site of the agora of Nea Paphos in Cyprus brought to light a lead weight with a Greek inscription giving the year 251 of an era and mentioning an agoranomos with the name Seleukos. On the basis of parallels, the author demonstrates that the weight must have been issued by the North Syrian city of Seleucia in Pieria, and the era used in the inscription is the civic era of Seleucia with the starting point in 109/108 BC, which allows one to date the object to AD 142/143. He argues that the structure where the object was found can tentatively be identified as agoranomeion of Nea Paphos
Unequal Exchange: Developing Countries in the International Trade Negotiations
No full textThe outcome of the Uruguay Round show that the concessions given by developing countries were more valuable than those they received from industrial countries. I suggest that this outcome is explained by the aggresive demands from industrial countries and the lack of resources (human and financial) at the disposal of developing countries. The paper discussess the costs of these unequal exchanges, and the structural factors that help to understand the processess leading to these outcomes.Uruguay Round, Developing countries, Reciprocity,
Unequal Exchange: Developing Countries in the International Trade Negotiations

I suggest that this outcome is explained by aggressive demands from industrial countries, and by the lack of resources at the disposal of developing countries. These and other “structural factors”, weaken the negotiating capacity of developing countries and the outcome of their bargaining, is likely to be an “unequal exchange of concessions”.

Raskaudenkeskeytystä läpikäyvän naisen kohtaaminen
No full textOpinnäytetyön päätarkoituksena oli selvittää hoitohenkilökunnan kokemuksia raskaudenkeskeytystä läpikäyvän naisen kohtaamisesta hoitotyössä ja minkälaista tukea nainen hoitohenkilökunnan mielestä tarvitsee. Tutkimuksella pyrittiin myös auttamaan hoitohenkilökuntaa tulemaan entistä tietoisemmaksi omista raskaudenkeskeytykseen liittyvistä asenteistaan ja näkemyksistään.
Tutkimustehtävässä ensimmäisenä tutkimuskysymyksenä oli, minkälaisia kokemuksia hoitohenkilökunnalla on raskaudenkeskeytystä läpikäyvän naisen kohtaamisesta. Toisena tutkimuskysymyksenä oli, minkälaista tukea raskaudenkeskeytystä läpikäyvä nainen hoitohenkilökunnan näkökulmasta tarvitsee. Kolmantena kysymyksenä oli, minkälaista lisätietoa hoitohenkilökunta kokee tarvitsevansa raskaudenkeskeytykseen tulevan naisen kohtaamisessa.
Aineistoa kerättiin puolistrukturoiduilla kyselylomakkeilla. Ensimmäinen osio oli Likert-asteikon muodossa. Toinen kyselyosio koostui avoimista kysymyksistä. Kohdejoukkona toimi erään sairaalan osasto, jossa työntekijät kohtaavat työssään raskautta keskeyttäviä naisia. Aineisto analysoitiin SPSS-ohjelman, Excel-taulukoinnin ja induktiivisen sisällönanalyysin avulla.
Näyttöön perustuvissa tutkimuksissa puhutaan fyysisistä tarpeista, joihin kuuluvat hyvä ohjaus, kivunlievitys ja keskeytyksen aikaisista muutoksista kertominen. Psyykkisten tarpeiden tarkastelussa ammattihenkilön tuki tai sen puute raskaudenkeskeytykseen päätyvän naisen psyykkisen selviytymisen näkökulmasta on erittäin merkittävää. Sosiaalinen tuki viittaa vuorovaikutuksessa syntyviin ja välittyviin resursseihin, jotka edistävät hyvinvointia. Juuri näitä asioita hoitajat mainitsivat vastauslomakkeissaan. Tutkimustulosten perusteella hoitajat eivät koe tarvitsevansa lisätietoa.The aim of this bachelor´s thesis was to find out what kind of experiences and opinions nurses have of encountering a woman that goes through an abortion. This research is trying to help nurses to be more conscious of their own attitudes and opinions.
The first research question was what kind of experiences nurses have of encountering a woman that goes through an abortion. The second research question was what kind of support nurses think a woman going through an abortion needs. The third research question was what kind of information nurses need about encountering a woman that goes through an abortion.
The material was gathered by a semi-structured questionnaire. The first part was based on Likert scale. The second part contained open-ended questions. The target group was a hospital ward, where nurses encounter women that go through an abortion. The material was analyzed with SPSS program, Excel chart and inductive content analysis method.
Evidence based research discusses physical needs which include good patient education, pain management and telling the patient about the physical changes that happen during the abortion. Nurses support related to physical needs is in a very remarkable role. The social support is linked to interaction which creates resources that promote wellbeing. These things were mentioned in the questionnaire by the nurses. The study results indicate that nurses do not need further information about the topic

A Pseudo-Ionic Blocked-out Capital at Nea Paphos
No full textThe paper discusses recent studies on the capital of a column found in the western courtyard of the ‘Hellenistic House’ at Nea Paphos in 2008. The capital presents a very specific set of features which allows us to identify it with the architectural decoration in the Nabatean type known from Petra, Egypt and Cyprus. The comparative analysis allowed the author to recognize the capital from the ‘Hellenistic House’ as analogous to the so-called pseudo-Ionic ones, so far known only from Petra. However, this term, suggesting that capitals of that type originated from the Ionic order, seems to be inappropriate due to specific features of the pseudo-Ionic capitals. The paper discuses one of the three recognized so far types of the blocked-out capitals in the ‘Nabatean’ style from the site; the other will be presented in further papers
