Strengthening Institutional Isomorphism in Development NGOs? Program Mechanisms in an Organizational Intervention
2017
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in international development struggle between being actors in the mainstream or representatives of alternatives to it. However, many NGOs all over the world align with the mainstream and are increasingly similar to each other. This homogenization results from institutional isomorphism, which is affected by their aspirations to be legitimate vis-á-vis the international field. Consultancies are among the main practices to promote normative isomorphism, but little is known about their micro-level dynamics. Drawing on the notion of program mechanisms in realistic evaluation, we scrutinize how external facilitators in organizational development processes enab…

School climate as predictor of teachers’ competences to recognize the educational needs of adopted children in Italy
2019
The current study examines the association between different components of school climate (teacher-principal and teacher-parent relationships, parents’ involvement in school activities, connection between school and the local services) and teachers’ competences and knowledge regarding the adoption experience. Participants were 573 teachers (95.7% women; mean age= 47.06, SD= 8.66, ranging between 25 and 65) residing in three Italian regions characterized by rates of international adoptions that are higher than the national average. The association between school climate and teachers’ knowledge and competences on adoption was evaluated via independent multiple logistic regression analyses. Fi…
Kriptogrāfisko valūtu ietekme uz starptautisko ekonomiku
2018
Mūsdienu pasaulē jau ir aptuveni tūkstotis dažādu kriptogrāfisko valūtu, no kurām populārākā ir bitkoins.

Kriptogrāfiskās valūtas piesaista lielu uzmanību un lielākā daļa cilvēku mēģina izprast, kā tās darbojās. Pastāv daudzi viedokļi par kriptogrāfiskajām valūtām: 1. Kriptogrāfiskās valūtas noteikti mainīs pasauli. 2. Kriptogrāfiskajai valūtai piemīt burbuļa efekts un tuvākajā nākotnē tā pazudīs. 3. Kriptogrāfiskās valūtas ir jauns naudas veids, kurš sniedz dažādas priekšrocības tās lietotājiem. Gandrīz visas kriptogrāfiskās valūtas darbojās ar blokķ…
Mehr als Musik: Die sieben Dimensionen des Eurovision Song Contests
2008
"Der Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) ist der weltweit größte internationale Wettbewerb für populäre Musik und das erfolgreichste Fernsehunterhaltungsprogramm in Europa. Obwohl der ESC ursprünglich das Ziel verfolgte, die Entstehung neuer Lieder zu fördern, handelte es sich doch stets um ein von den Fernsehanstalten inszeniertes Medienereignis, das erst nachrangig musikökonomischen Zwecken dient. Für das Publikum ist der ESC auf Grund seiner Periodizität, seiner spezifischen Programmstruktur und nicht zuletzt des Zugehörigkeitsgefühls der Zuschauer, das auf Schemata nationaler und kultureller Identifikation beruht, zu einem hochgradig ritualisierten Medienereignis geworden. Seine Bedeutung geh…
Temporality and firm de-internationalization : Three historical approaches
2022
This paper contributes to process-oriented international business research by showing how three distinct historical approaches can enrich theoretical understanding concerning temporality in firm de-internationalization. First, we show how comparative historical analysis unleashes the causal structure of the process and provides explanatory understanding of the temporal grounding of the mechanisms driving the process. Second, we explicate how interpretive history reveals the embeddedness of de-internationalization in the prevailing spirit of the time. Finally, we consider how poststructuralist history enables us to focus on the strong subjectivity of individuals in which multiple temporaliti…

The aim of this case study is to describe the case of an international-level 3,000-m steeplechase runner with groin pain, who was subsequently diagnosed with adductor insertional tendinopathy.Case Presentation: We present the case of an Italian 3,000-m steeplechase and long distance runner, Ala Zoghlami (180 cm, 57 kg), with groin pain, diagnosed as…
CZYM JEST ASZ-SZABAB? ZARYS ATAKU NA GALERIĘ HANDLOWĄ WESTGATE
2017
: We wrześniu 2013 roku światem wstrząsnęła informacja o krwawym zamachu w Nairobi. Mimo zaangażowania mediów w relacjonowanie całego zajścia samo zjawisko organizacji Asz-Szabab nie zostało wyczerpująco wyjaśnione. Autorzy artykułu podjęli więc próbę ukazania złożoności i stopnia skomplikowania całego zagadnienia. W pracy starano się w sposób obiektywny zbudować wizerunek Asz-Szabab, jak i przedstawić sposób jej działania w ujęciu bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego głównie kontynentu Afrykańskiego i Europejskiego. Dokonano tego analizując szczegółowo sam zamach w Kenii, jak i codzienne działanie organizacji na swoim terenie. Zarysowano również tło historyczne oraz kulturowe w celu określenia waru…
Measuring Health Promotion in Sports Club Settings: A Modified Delphi Study
2019
Settings-based approaches have become an increasing health promotion focus since the World Health Organization’s 1986 Ottawa Charter. While schools, cities, and prisons have implemented this approach, its development within sports environments is recent. Sports are a popular leisure-time activity, requiring validated tools to measure health promotion activity. This study’s aim was to develop a measurement tool based on international consensus that measures perceptions of health promotion within sports clubs. It is grounded in the settings-based approach and builds on theory from previous works expanding their context and knowledge. An online, three-round international Delphi study was cond…

The potential application of a foreign law constitutes the logical outcome of any Private International Law? system. However, and despite its relevance, this issue lacks a common answer in the EU. In contrast to this, the analysis of the solutions drafted in Latin America as regards this issue grants a novel dimension to the European situation on this issue as well as highlights a meritorious reality that shows a high and very relevant degree of harmonization
