Wellfounded Trees and Dependent Polynomial Functors

2004

We set out to study the consequences of the assumption of types of wellfounded trees in dependent type theories. We do so by in- vestigating the categorical notion of wellfounded tree introduced in [16]. Our main result shows that wellfounded trees allow us to define initial algebras for a wide class of endofunctors on locally cartesian closed cat- egories.

Social Participation Through Volunteering as Co-production of Public Services: Case Study of Latvia

2016

Active civic and social participation is considered to be significantly important for a country`s development in democratic societies. One of the popular forms of active citizenship is volunteering – the third economy sector that produces civic goods and/or services in which the public and private sectors are weak or inactive. In this aspect, volunteering is also a means for organized civil society to participate in the production of public services i.e. co-production. The aim of this research is the exploration of social participation in Latvia through volunteering, including its legal regulation and organizational setup, and identification of the aspects and prospects of volunteering in L…

Thermodynamic stability of non-stoichiometric SrFeO 3−δ : a hybrid DFT study

2019

SrFeO3-δ is mixed ionic-electronic conductor with complex magnetic structure which reveals also colossal magnetoresistance effect. This material and its solid solutions are attractive for various spintronic, catalytic and electrochemical applications, including cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells and permeation membranes. Its properties strongly depend on oxygen non-stoichiometry. Ab initio hybrid functional approach was applied here for a study of thermodynamic stability of a series of SrFeO3-δ compositions with several non-stoichiometries δ, ranging from 0 to 0.5 (SrFeO3 - SrFeO2.875 - SrFeO2.75 - SrFeO2.5) as the function of temperature and oxygen pressure. The results obtained by consid…

Effect of intra-organisational competition on organisational performance indicators

2021

The objective of the research is to investigate intra-organisational competition (IOC) emerging from the interactions of internal social comparison (ISC) and intra-organisational evolution (IOE) effecting organisational performance (OP). Communication between subordinates, comparing contribution, ability to perform and business management strategies resulting in IOC. The attention is on recognised social dimensions and equal emphasis is on business management practices. The literature attempts’ to recognise ISC and IOE and its effect on OP balances the conceptual paper. For the purpose Google Scholar, Emerald Insight, EBSCO Host and Science Direct database has been used. Literature relies o…

2004

The Baltic Conference on Databases and Information Systems is a biannual international forum for technical discussion among researchers and developers of database and information systems. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers as well as practitioners and PhD students in the field of computing research that will improve the construction of future information systems. On the other hand, the conference is giving opportunities to developers, users and researchers of advanced IS technologies to present their work and to exchange their ideas and at the same time providing a feedback to database community.

A legal and economic analysis of the concept of anticipatory breach under the CISG

2021

Contractual remedies are traditionally available after the breach of a contract, but can a party suspecting non-performance prior to the date of performance entitled to seek for remedies? The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG), regulates the doctrine of anticipatory breach in Articles 71-73, outlining the circumstances in which an anticipatory breach is deemed to occur and the remedies available to the aggrieved party. The Convention entitles the innocent party to the right to suspend or avoid but it contains unambiguous terms in need for interpretation. Additionally, the doctrine of anticipatory breach begs the questions of economic efficiency, a fundamenta…
