Revealing colonial power relations in early childhood policy making: An autoethnographic story on selective evidence

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic exposes uncertainty, instability and glaring inequality that requires urgent global policy decisions. Historically, bureaucrats regard uncertainty as the enemy and look for tested solutions (Stevens, 2011). In contrast, Fielding & Moss (2010) acknowledge an uncertain future and encourage shifting policy making towards the search for possibilities instead of replicating singular solutions. Escobar (2020) advocates for pluriversal politics, with many possibilities created through collective decision-making by autonomous interlinked networks. In this paper, I combine autoethnography with policy analysis drawing on my own experience in South African early childhood pol…

Behind the scenes of artificial intelligence: a study of micro-work platforms in France

2019

Este artículo es una versión resumida del informe “Le Micro-travail en France. Derrière l’automatisation de nouvelles précarités au travail?» This article is a summarized version of the report "Le Micro-travail en France. Derrière l’automatisation de nouvelles précarités au travail?" .; International audience; Micro-work internet services allocate small, standardized tasks of data generation and annotation to crowds of providers. The outputs are mainly used to produce artificial intelligence solutions. It is an exemplary instance of the “platformization” of the economy, and of the transformations of labour that digital technologies bring about. To uncover the conditions under which micro-wo…

Przedsiębiorstwo państwowe jako podmiot postępowania arbitrażowego w systemie prawnym gospodarki nakazowo-rozdzielczej końcowego okresu PRL

2020

Niniejsza publikacja traktuje o przedsiębiorstwie państwowym jako jednym z pod-stawowych podmiotów systemu gospodarki nakazowo-rozdzielczej schyłkowego okresu PRL. Tym samym wskazano na istotę prawnomaterialną przedsiębiorstwa państwowego oraz jego formalne aspekty funkcjonowania w systemie dochodzenia roszczeń w ówczesnym postępowaniu arbitrażowym. Zarówno samo postępowanie arbitrażowe, jak i funkcjonowanie Państwowego Arbitrażu Gospodarczego jako organu pozasądowego uprawnionego do rozstrzygania i zapobiegania powstawaniu w przyszłości sporów o charakterze gospodarczym było charakterystyczne dla ówczesnego systemu politycznoprawnego. Co do zasady sama istota rozstrzyganych sporów i ich za…

IPE scholarship about Southeast Asia : Theories of development and state-market-society relations

2020

Contemporary Southeast Asia is a diverse region that is fully integrated into the world economy. Its eleven constituent countries are distinct with unique historical, political, economic, and cultural configurations – as such, they develop unevenly within, and respond accordingly to, the evolution of the global capitalist system. This chapter provides a survey of literatures, themes and debates that have significantly contributed to the study of Southeast Asia from the discipline of international political economy (IPE). It shows how specific IPE scholarship about Southeast Asia since the 1950s have been framed within the general theories of development (i.e., modernization and dependency) …

Modeling and Backstepping Control of the Electronic Throttle System

2013

Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/871674 Open access Electronic throttle is widely used in modern automotive engines. An electronic throttle system regulates the throttle plate angle by using a DC servo motor to adjust the inlet airflow rate of an internal combustion engine. Its application leads to improvements in vehicle drivability, fuel economy, and emissions. In this paper, by taking into account the dynamical behavior of the electronic throttle, the mechanism model is first built, and then the mechanism model is transformed into the state-space model. Based on the s…

Designing Dynamic Sustainable Business Models to Assess the Feasibility of an Industrial Symbiosis: The Case of the Retro-Port Area of Trieste

2023

This study evaluates the managerial sustainability of implementing a decision support system for industrial symbiosis through a recent business modeling methodology. The decision support system is intended to facilitate the identification of implementable industrial symbiosis good practices in a pilot project located in the industrial retro-port area of Trieste. To evaluate the feasibility of this project, a qualitative “Dynamic business model canvas for sustainability” was designed and supported by a system dynamics approach using causal loop diagrams. The study analyzed various governance scenarios for managing the decision support system (public, private, or public–private partnership) a…

Анализ проблем развития лесопромышленного комплекса при формировании модели экономики замкнутого цикла на примере Томской области

2019

The main objective of the paper is the conduction of the timber industry complex problems analysis from the circular economy and sustainable development point of view. The problem of waste is considered in conjunction with other environmental, economic and social problems. A modeling of the value chain process and the formation of threats along the whole chain «nature (forest) – economy – society (consumer)» is being conducted. A classification of the development problems in the timber industry complex on the basis of «created values» and «production factors» has been developed. Planned growth in logging volume and wood processing, expansion of unused waste require the development of a spec…

Institutional arrangements for sustainable development: Cases from the Navarra Province (Spain).

2015

After more than 20 years of the Earth Summit, Sustainable development is still recognized as one of the main challenges of the XXIst century. World leaders are putting new emphasis on the need to resolve urgent environmental challenges underlining their link with the wellbeing of humankind and the very conditions that made life possible on the planet. We are immersed in complex socio-ecological systems where sectoral or simplified responses are not adequate. A more systemic vision is imperative to effectively address the challenges faced. New approaches are being developed to integrate social, environmental and economic concerns in all human activities. Particular attention is given to deco…
