EUROPEAN UNION’S COMPETITIVENESS IN TERMS OF COUNTRY RISK AND FISCAL DISCIPLINE
2012
Underneath the umbrella of national competitiveness there are microeconomic and macroeconomic factors, but the recovery and the revival of a state competitiveness must be based on a strategy developed and coordinated centrally and implemented in strategic areas of the economy. In this respect, this paper aims to analyze the situation of European Union’s competitiveness in terms of country risk and fiscal and budgetary discipline of the Member States, based on empirical data. Therefore, this study’s analysis includes the following two steps: first, a segmentation of the European Union by determining distinct groups of countries according to national competitiveness (GCI), public debt (PD) an…

Spectroscopic studies of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes
2010
The unique nature of optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), together with their promising potential applications, have created enormous interest towards the photophysics of SWCNT. Many aspects of carbon nanotubes originate from the electronic structure of carbon honeycomb lattice and one-dimensionality. SWCNTs exist in various chiral structures and diameters, which the optical and electrical properties are dependent on. It has been discovered that SWCNT excited states are excitonic with strong Coulomb interaction between the electron and the hole. However, many features of excitons are not yet well defined, such as absorption cross-sections, fluorescence quantum yield…
Przepis art. 299 Kodeksu spółek handlowych jako funkcja prawa o niewypłacalności
2022
Przepis art. 299 Kodeksu spółek handlowych nawiązuje do treści art. 298 Kodeksu handlowego. Polski ustawodawca model spółki z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością generalnie oparł na regulacji niemieckiej. Niemniej z uwagi na częste przypadki nadużywania formy spółki kapitałowej wprowadził szczególną odpowiedzialność członków zarządu. Regulacja art. 299 Kodeksu spółek handlowych przez lata była przedmiotem ożywionej debaty nauko-wej i wielu orzeczeń sądowych. W niniejszym opracowaniu stawiana jest teza, że wskazana regulacja jest funkcją prawa upadłościowego. Konsekwencją tej tezy jest wskazanie na zakres odpowiedzialności członka zarządu spółki z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, który podej-mie o…
Translation of wordplay in Frasier

“I’d take a p in the gutter over Julia Roberts any time”: comparing professional and amateur translations of word play in How I met your mother
2012
Suomalaisina olemme tottuneet siihen, että suuressa osassa televisio-ohjelmistamme on tekstitykset. Jos kielitaitomme on hyvä, huomaamme kuitenkin usein virheitä tekstien käännöksissä. Huolimattomuusvirheiden lisäksi kääntäjä on saattanut käsittää jotain väärin tai hänellä on ollut muuten hankaluuksia kääntää jokin tietty repliikki. Erityisen mieleenpainuvia käännöksiä huomaa etenkin komediasarjoissa, joissa hankalasti käännettävät sanaleikit ovat suuressa osassa. Sanaleikkejä käännettäessä jokaisella kääntäjällä on omat käännösstrategiansa ja tämä vuoksi yksikään käännös ei ole täysin samanlainen. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena onkin tarkastella sanaleikkien kääntämistä kahden eri käännöks…
Lenguaje tabú y traducción audiovisual: estudio descriptivo de la subtitulación al español de la serie Orange is the new black
2017
La subtitulación del lenguaje tabú y ofensivo es un ámbito relativamente poco explorado que presenta ciertos desafíos para el traductor. Las reducidas dimensiones de la pantalla y las necesidades de sincronía con la imagen y una cómoda velocidad de lectura para el espectador obligan a los subtituladores a reducir (condensar) la extensión de los subtítulos, por lo que las palabras y las expresiones tabú son tendentes a eliminarse. Esta reducción ocasiona una pérdida de información sobre el personaje y priva al público extranjero de la oportunidad de conocer estos elementos lingüísticos tan vinculados a la cultura de origen de la producción audiovisual y su sistema de creencias y costumbres. …
Buffer strips can pre-empt extinction debt in boreal streamside habitats
2013
Background. Conservation of biological diversity and economical utilization of natural resources form an almost inevitable confrontation between the two. In practice, however, a balance between the two ought to be found, and in managed boreal forests, preservation of woodland key habitats is increasingly used strategy to safeguard biological diversity. According to the Finnish Forests Act, certain Forest Act habitat (FAH) types must be safeguarded, provided they are clearly distinguishable from their surroundings. Furthermore, once the habitat has been identified as a FAH, its special characteristics must not be altered. Both of these aspects contain ambiguities that potentially undermine t…
Early Jurassic (Sinemurian) gastropods from the Lusitanian Basin (west of Portugal)
2020
The Sinemurian gastropod specimens herein studied come from two sources: from museum collections and from samplings in field. The study of the Sinemurian gastropod specimens housed in the collections of the Museu Geológico (Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia), Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência (University of Lisbon), Museu da Ciência (University of Coimbra) and of the Museu de História Natural e da Ciência (University of Porto), has allowed the systematic and taxonomical update of this material. These specimens come mostly from Sinemurian outcrops in S. Pedro de Moel area and Coimbra region, and were collected by Paul Choffat and collaborators in the geological field w…
Seeking Technical Debt in Critical Software Development Projects : An Exploratory Field Study
2016
In recent years, the metaphor of technical debt has received considerable attention, especially from the agile community. Still, despite the fact that agile practices are increasingly used in critical domains, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies investigating the occurrence of technical debt in critical software development projects. The results of an exploratory field study conducted across several projects reveal that a variety of business and environmental factors cause the occurrence of technical debt in critical domains. Using Grounded Theory method, these factors are categorized as ambiguity of requirement, diversity of projects, inadequate knowledge management, and res…
