To Show, But Not to Disclose. The Willingness of Polish Political Parties to Disclose Information On their Structures

2018

Abstract Constituting the key element of a democratic system, political parties are among entities obliged by the Polish legislator to comply with the principle of disclosure by providing public information. The main objective of this paper is to determine the level of Polish political parties’ disclosure, understood here as their willingness to disclose information on their own structures. It seems that the practice of disclosing such basic organizational data may constitute a specific measure of Polish political parties’ respect for the idea of disclosure. The subject matter of the conducted research was particular parties’ sites in the Public Information Bulletin as well as their officia…

Michelin : du culte du secret à la transparence?

2015

Transparency the ultimate virtue of society, the guarantee of truth (?), between right and duty, is often expressed in opposition to secret or even lie. Organizations are faced with and often trapped between these extremes. The Michelin Corporation that will serve as the basis for our analysis is often presented as the Corporation of secrecy. As a real myth in our collective consciousness, it illustrates the dual relationship between transparency and secrecy, which appeared to have been successful given its longevity and ranking among the largest French leading companies in terms of CSR. From the materiality of objects and spaces to intangible rhetoric, the Group comprehensive communication…

Gastronomie : entre transparence et opacité Un jeu d'ombre et de lumière

2015

This article aims at highlighting the signs of transparency and opacity in gastronomic communication. The esthesic, aesthetic and ethical dimension will be considered through discursive and visual elements put at stake in the presentation of dishes so that their flavours as well as the sensations and emotions they produce will fully come out. It will illustrate the interactions between the creative chef and the guest who will feel sensations, each of them asserting the construction of their identity. Gastronomic semiotics will be considered as socio-semiotics, which takes into account aesthetic values of today's society and also accounts for the complexity of senses.

Secret, silence, sacré. La trinité communicationnelle de l’Église catholique

2013

If the Catholic Church experiences difficulties in today’s world of ‘hyper-communication’ and 24/7 media pressure, esoteric religious language or generalised misuse of the media may not be the only factors to blame. This paper is based on the hypothesis that the reasons run more deeply into the communications ethos of the Catholic Church itself. More precisely, the paper contends that the Church’s communication in the social sphere cannot totally escape the principle of secrecy. This is not to say that there is one particular secret which the Church wishes to keep, rather that the whole Catholic tradition is marked by a culture and practice of secrecy, as shown through such examples as the …

Identification of Energy Hubs for the Exploitation of Residual Biomass in an Area of Western Sicily

2017

Recent years have witnessed a marked reduction in financial incentives for renewable energy production in Italy as a consequence of the fact that the nation has already reached its energy policy targets for 2020, However, incentives still persist in certain sectors, such as those of specialized crops for biomass and residual biomass. In order to increase use-efficiency of biomass resources, careful study is needed of their characteristics, and their distribution within an area and over time: biomass use is of interest when production is concentrated in a given area and sufficiently available throughout the year. In order to assess the competitiveness of the biomass energy sector, the logist…

A two-phase insertion technique of unexpected customers for a dynamic dial-a-ride problem

2006

Abstract This work deals with a dynamic dial-a-ride problem with time window constraints. In particular, new unplanned requests for service may arise at a vehicle stop and the driver must decide in real-time whether to accept or reject them. For this problem, we have developed a two-phase insertion algorithm based on route perturbations: the first phase, which is run off-line when the vehicle moves between two successive stops, aims at creating a feasible neighborhood of the current route; while the second phase, which is run in real-time every time a new request occurs, inserts, when possible, the delivery stop of the new customer in the current route.

Minimizing fleet operating costs for a container transportation company

2006

Abstract This paper focuses on a fleet management problem that arises in container trucking industry. From the container transportation company perspective, the present and future operating costs to minimize can be divided in three components: the routing costs, the resource (i.e., driver and truck) assignment costs and the container repositioning costs (i.e., the costs of restoring a given container fleet distribution over the serviced territory, as requested by the shippers that own the containers). This real-world problem has been modeled as an integer programming problem. The proposed solution approach is based on the decomposition of this problem in three simpler sub-problems associate…

Husserl's Transcendentalization of Mathematical Naturalism

2020

Abstract The paper aims to capture a form of naturalism that can be found “built-in” in phenomenology, namely the idea to take science or mathematics on its own, without postulating extraneous normative “molds” on it. The paper offers a detailed comparison of Penelope Maddy’s naturalism about mathematics and Husserl’s approach to mathematics in Formal and Transcendental Logic (1929). It argues that Maddy’s naturalized methodology is similar to the approach in the first part of the book. However, in the second part Husserl enters into a transcendental clarification of the evidences and presuppositions of the mathematicians’ work, thus “transcendentalizing” his otherwise naturalist approach t…
