2020

Abstract Introduction In the 2000s, the Baltic countries experienced unprecedented economic growth followed by a deep recession. This study aimed to examine changes and educational inequalities in suicide mortality among working-age men in the Baltic countries and Finland in relation to macroeconomic fluctuations. Methods We analysed changes in overall suicide mortality and by educational level between the 2000–2003, 2004–2007, 2008–2011 and 2012–2015 periods among men aged 30–64 years using census-linked longitudinal mortality data.

Spanish banking system restructuring after the crisis and the solvency in financial institutions. Consequences for savings banks

2013

La crisis financiera que ha afectado a todo el mundo ha tenido una incidencia especial en España. Las cajas de ahorros, que llevan más de 100 años desarrollando su gestión financiera, han desaparecido, por lo menos tal como venían desarrollando su actividad. Esta caída ha sido motivada por las políticas marcadas por el Banco de España, el Ministerio de Economía y el Fondo de Reestructuración Ordenada Bancaria (FROB) para salvar el sistema financiero español. El objetivo de estos organismos, según sus recomendaciones y la normativa emitida, era un proceso de bancarización de las cajas de ahorros y que todas las entidades financieras ganaran en tamaño, y de esta forma se deberían poner las ba…

The Consequences of Banking Crises for Public Debt

2010

The aim of this paper is to assess the consequences of banking crises for public debt. Using an unbalanced panel of 154 countries from 1980 to 2006, the paper shows that banking crises are associated with a significant and long-lasting increase in government debt. The effect is a function of the severity of the crisis. In particular, for severe crises, comparable to the most recent one in terms of output losses, banking crises are followed by a medium-term increase of about 37 percentage points in the government gross debt-to-GDP ratio. Measuring the increase in debt in this manner seems more appropriate than some of the measures used in the literature that have provided off-quoted and very…

Les figures du trauma chez Simone de Beauvoir

2018

The work of de Beauvoir expresses the trauma of being unable to reach the Absolute by an introverted individual, breaking with the image of the writer as an eternal optimist, whose life was filled with pleasures and journeys. Considering her individualism, this article will take an interdisciplinary view at the contrast between the desire for existence and its absence, the search for identity and the dialectic of existentialism. Selected autobiographical works and essays will illustrate how the trauma in the discourse of the writer manifests itself through fear, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, or suffering, expressing loss of faith, despair, internal crisis, and obsession with death, which ar…

Kryzys parlamentaryzmu a majowy zamach stanu w aspekcie bezpieczeństwa narodowego

2017

Demokracja parlamentarna nie jest typem ustroju, który może sprawnie i stabilnie funkcjonować bez solidnych podstaw ekonomicznych i społecznych, ugruntowanej i opartej na kompromisie tradycji uprawiania polityki oraz postaw obywatelskich pośród polityków i społeczeństwa. Porzucenie demokracji czyjej częściowe ograniczenie, aczkolwiek usprawiedliwione ideą racji stanu w celu wzmocnienia szeroko pojętego bezpieczeństwa narodowego, nie musi okazać się właściwym lekarstwem na problemy, z jakimi boryka się państwo. Kryzys parlamentaryzmu i przewrót majowy, zamykają okres, w którym sejm stanowił organ ostatecznie decydujący o składzie i istnieniu kolejnych rządów. Formalną zmianę we wzajemnym usy…

Digital Resilience to Normal Accidents in High-Reliability Organizations

2021

Digital technologies play a dual role on organizational resilience. On one side, digital systems introduce new technological risks. On the other side, digital systems increase the performances in response to hazardous accidents. Normal Accident Theory (NAT) and High-Reliability Organization (HRO) provide useful ground to explain the dynamics of digital resilience. However, the two theories have been either used as alternatives or with one theory dominating the other. We posit that to fully understand digital resilience we need to integrate NAT and HRO concepts instead of using them in isolation. We conduct a bibliometric analysis to identify major themes and application domains characterizi…
