Καθηγητής, CITY College, University of York Europe Campus Δρ Λεμονιά Παπαδοπούλου - Κελίδου Λέκτορας, CITY College, University of York Europe Campus   Το CITY College University of York Europe Campus διοργανώνει για τρίτη συνεχόμενη χρονιά διαδικτυακή εκδήλωση με τίτλο “Ξενοδοχεία: βιώσιμη κερδοφορία και διαχείριση ανθρώπινου δυναμικού” η οποία αφορά στις προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζει ο ξενοδοχειακός κλάδος σε ζητήματα οικονομικά και διαχείρισης προσωπικού καθώς επίσης και στους πιθανούς τρόπους βιώσιμης διαχείρισης των εν λόγω προκλήσεων. Αναγνωρισμένοι επαγγελματίες του κλάδου θα συζητήσουν για οικονομικά προβλήματα και την ανάγκη της βιώσιμης λειτουργίας και κερδοφορίας των ξενοδοχείων σε συγκεκριμένο νομικό πλαίσιο. Το αυξημένο λειτουργικό κόστος, ο διεθνής ανταγωνισμός σε συνδυασμό με το ενεργειακό και τη συνεχή εξαγορά ξενοδοχείων στην Ελλάδα απειλεί τη βιώσιμη λειτουργία των επιχειρήσεων. Η έλλειψη προσωπικού δυσχεραίνει την ποιοτική παροχή ξενοδοχειακών υπηρεσιών.  Η ελλιπής εξειδίκευση και κατάρτιση σε συνδυασμό με τις χαμηλές αμοιβές και την εξ ορισμού εποχικότητα των θέσεων εργασίας δημιουργούν ένα “αδιέξοδο” το οποίο κοστίζει χρηματικά και ποιοτικά. Πώς θα μπορέσει ο ξενοδοχειακός κλάδος να ξεπεράσει αυτή τη δυσκολία; Η εμπειρία και οι γνώσεις των προσκεκλημένων ομιλητών θα δώσουν τις απαντήσεις στα ερωτήματα υπογραμμίζοντας τους νομικούς περιορισμούς, κινδύνους και σκιαγραφώντας ασφαλή νομικά και οικονομικά πλαίσια λειτουργίας ξενοδοχειακών επιχειρήσεων για συμβόλαια, προμήθειες και εργασιακές συμβάσεις     Δήλωση συμμετοχής Παρακολουθήστε την εκδήλωση * H εκδήλωση θα μεταδοθεί ζωντανά μέσω Live Streaming    Join and share!

Academic staff member and alumna from Psychology department publish academic paper in leading international journal

An academic paper co-authored by Ms. Šeila Redžepagić, an alumnus of our Psychology department, and Dr. Aristea Ladas, Assistant Professor at our Psychology department, was recently published on Substance Use & Misuse, a leading international peer-reviewed journal on research concerning substance use and misuse. The paper "Prospective Memory, Sustained attention and Response Inhibition in Polysubstance Users stable on Methadone Maintenance Treatment." concerns the effects of poly-substance addiction combined with Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) on the cognitive function of prospective memory and the functions modulating it, namely sustained attention and response inhibition. Prospective memory and response inhibition are interrelated constructs, though studied separately in the drug addiction literature. Also, although sustained attention underlies response inhibition, its role in the relation between these functions has been largely neglected. The limited research on the cognitive effects of MMT further stresses the importance of investigating these effects. Therefore, the current study focused on possible effects of MMT combined with long-term drug abuse on all these functions. As predicted, (a) the MMT participants showed impairments in prospective memory, sustained attention and response inhibition and (b) prospective memory, response inhibition and sustained attention are related constructs. The results of this study could inform current rehabilitation and relapse prevention cognitive training practices.
