Social Determinants of Success: Social Media, Corporate Governance and Revenue

2019

This study examined how social media (Twitter and LinkedIn) relates to the operating revenue by investigating the effect of the use of social media by the board of directors. To tackle this question, we analyzed the mediating and moderating relationship of social media on the effect of board size in operating revenue (turnover). We studied the implications of the use of social media by the board members by using structural equation modeling (SEM). The data consisted of a random sample of 100 companies listed on the NASDAQ. The study makes two main contributions. First, it shows interesting differences in the use of social media for the operating revenue. Our results suggest that while Twitt…

Audit Institutions in the European Union: Public Service Promotion, Environmental Engagement and COVID Crisis Communication through Social Media

2020

This article analyses Social Media (SM) use as a promotion tool for public institutions in the public audit sector. The authors propose a quantitative model to assess online engagement of 94 European audit institutions (national and regional) with their stakeholders, based on SM and web activity metrics of these institutions, with a focus on pressing matters such as environment, sustainability and the current COVID pandemic. The proposed model may be applied to assess organisations from any public or private sector. The research finds that SM presence helps audit institutions to promote their services more effectively by directing their stakeholders to extensive content on the audit institu…

Communicative Functions of Hashtags

2018

Abstract Despite the initial function of hashtags as tools for sorting and aggregating information according to topics, the social media currently witness a diversity of uses diverging from the initial purpose.

Different uses of hashtags were subjected to semantic analysis in order to disclose generalizable trends. As a result, ten communicative functions were identified: topic-marking, aggregation, socializing, excuse, irony, providing metadata, expressing attitudes, initiating movements, propaganda and brand marketing. These findin…

Social exclusion from peer interaction and relationships in a daycare center a micro-ethnography

2017

This study investigates social exclusion from peer interaction and relationships among children in one Finnish daycare center. Social exclusion is a multifaceted phenomenon that can be encountered as a result of for instance peer exclusion or social withdrawal.

This study discusses the multiplicity of this phenomenon in one daycare center. This study is a micro-ethnography. I wrote notes and video-recorded the everyday life of two child groups for 12 days. I analyzed the data by revealing how the context partly created the social exclusions occurring there.…

Nie bij, nie krzycz... O przemocy wobec osób starszych - przegląd badań

2020

W artykule poruszono kwestie dotyczące stosowania przemocy wobec osób starszych. Zjawisko to staje się jednym z głównych problemów społecznych, z którymi muszą zmierzyć się m.in. pracownicy socjalni oraz specjaliści z zakresu pedagogiki (w tym gerontopedagogiki), socjologii, a także przedstawiciele służb pomocowych. Jak wynika z analizy danych statystycznych oraz wyników badań naukowych, skala stosowania przemocy stale się pogłębia. W opracowaniu zaprezentowano przegląd badań dotyczących skali i determinantów stosowania przemocy wobec seniorów oraz koncepcje wycofania moralnego jako jednego z czynników wywołujących zachowania przemocowe.

Potrzeba i możliwości budzenia nadziei u niedostosowanych społecznie w świetle koncepcji poznawczej

2014

Artykuł zwraca uwagę na potrzebę kształtowania u jednostek niedostosowanych społecznie nadziei jako struktury poznawczej osobowości. Nadziejo zdefiniowana jest jako systemem przekonań jednostki, iż w przyszłości osiągnie ona pożądany cel z określonym stopniem prawdopodobieństwa. Nadzieja, jako przeciwieństwo lęku, ma istotne znaczenie w formułowaniu motywacji do podejmowania różnorodnych form aktywności oraz decyduje o otwartości człowieka na zmiany. Opierając się na koncepcji poznawczej autorka wskazuje na teoretyczne uwarunkowania nadziei ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem możliwości pracy resocjalizacyjnej ukierunkowanej na przebudowę stylu wyjaśniania sukcesów i porażek, zwiększanie poczucia…

LA DONNA, IL DIRITTO E IL PATRIMONIO NELLA TESTIMONIANZA LIBANIANA

2010

In this study about the role of Antiochian imperial women I aim at investigating the interrelationship between law and society and at analysing the way social changes lead to birth of new laws, in the period marked by a gradual replacement inside the Mediterranean world. Leafing through the numerous pages dedicated to Antiochene society in the 4th century by an author such as Libanius, who has always set himself up as a strenuous defender of the Hellenic tradition and champion of the ancient civic ideal, and who was influenced less than anyone else by the attraction of the new ideas of Christianity, a pattern emerges thanks to which we can understand the degree of consideration to which wom…

Assoggettabilità delle “società pubbliche” alle procedure concorsuali: le mobili frontiere tra socialità e profitto

2015

Trib. Palermo 24 ottobre 2014, Est. Vacca, già segnalata da questa rivista, irrompendo nel magmatico scenario dell’immunità fallimentare delle società partecipate dagli enti territoriali cui è affidato lo svolgimento di un servizio pubblico, ripudia risolutamente quella concezione sostanzialistica dell’impresa pubblica che proprio in questo distretto giudiziario era attecchita con maggior afflato sistematico (cfr. Trib. Palermo, 8 gennaio 2013, nell’ambito del tormentato affaire Gesip S.p.A.). La dichiarazione dello stato d’insolvenza dell’Ato Belice Ambiente S.p.A. in liquidazione, una delle peculiari dimensioni societarie deputate dal legislatore regionale alla riorganizzazione delle moda…
