STUDY REGARDING THE ATTITUDES TOWARD CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WORLD’S TOP TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS

2012

Transnational corporations (TNCs) are the leading actors of the global economic scene; so their strategic behaviors tend to be followed by their challengers - in search for global competitiveness. Therefore (and in spite of some well known blunders and slippages), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) may have the vocation to become a generalized dimension of the corporate strategy - as well as an answer to some of the very thorny problems facing the humankind. The aim of the paper is to analyze the attitudes toward CSR of the world's top TNCs, in order to see if there is a pattern regarding their strategies.

Dealing with viewers’ complaints: Role, visibility and transparency of PSB Ombudsmen in ten European countries

2017

The article shows the results of a comparative analysis of the complaints management mechanisms offered by ten European Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) systems on their corporate websites. Using a qualitative methodology, it maps the procedures and evaluates the visibility, transparency and dissemination of results. The findings show, firstly, great diversity in terms of responsible election and management, despite the converging media governance. Also noteworthy is the margin of substantial improvement in the transparency and dissemination possibilities, specially relating to the interaction offered by the digital environment. Among the ten public corporations analysed, the BBC is the be…

Social accounting and its contribution to society

2013

With the development of the society and its economic system, a need has emerged to develop accounting as well. The increasing role of social accounting, which keeps records of for-profit, non-profit, and governmental organisations, is associated with the complexity of the environment in which businesses and organisations are operating and presenting reports about their social, ethical, and environmental aspects. Organisations are subject to greater transparency, and many stakeholders are interested in and concerned about the performance of organisations within the context that is not reflected, to a satisfactory extent, in traditional accounting. Traditional accounting ensures reporting to …

Clase social y acceso a la universidad

2021

La universidad es una institución que tiene más de ocho siglos de antigüedad. En la mayor parte de su historia, si no en toda, favoreció la desigualdad de género y de etnia, excluyendo durante siglos a las mujeres y a las minorías étnicas y relegándolas más recientemente a posiciones subalternas. Este artículo se centra en la desigualdad de clases sociales, que lógicamente intersecta con las otras.
 The university is an institution that is more than eight centuries old. For most of its history, if not all, it favored gender and ethnic inequality, excluding women and ethnic minorities for centuries and relegating them more recently to subordinate positions. This article focuses on the i…

EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE THERAPY (ESWT) IN CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIALS

2020

Background: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) has become a popular tool to treat musculoskeletal disorders and chronic low back pain. Aim of the study: To review the current scientific literature and assess the utility of ESWT in treating chronic low back pain. Methods: This systematic review was conducted from November 2019 to January 2020. Its purpose was to determine what the effectiveness is of the various forms of ESWT for the treatment of chronic low back pain. The critical review of the literature on the use of ESWT in chronic low back was made using the scientifically recognized medical databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and Web of Science Core…

Shell morphology of the unionid mussels (Anodonta anatina, Unio pictorum and U. tumidus) in relation to gender and trematode parasitism

2015

Freshwater mussels (Unionoida) show great variability in shell morphology which can be associated with differences in habitat, sex and/or parasite infection. Three unionid mussel species, (Anodonta anatina, Unio pictorum and Unio tumidus) were collected from two sites Lake Saravesi, (Laukaa) and Lake Kuivasjarvi, (Oulu), between May - October 2012. Intraspecific trends that were associated with the mussels’ sex and/or parasites infection were studied and observations were made on how sex and parasite infection could have a role in shells morphological characters/patterns. The study revealed a range of morphometric differences among and across populations, as well as, within and between spec…

The small protein SCO2038 modulates tryptophan biosynthesis and morpho-physiological differentiation in Streptomyces coelicolor

2016

In Streptomyces coelicolor small open reading frames were identified in several amino acids biosynthetic gene clusters, like SCO2038 (trpX) in the tryptophan trpCXBA locus. Here, the role of SCO2038, encoding a 63 amino acid protein, was investigated by both phenotypic and molecular analyses. A SCO2038 knockout mutant strain showed a delayed growth on minimal medium (MM), compromised actinorhodin biosynthesis and poor sporulation. The capability of this mutant to grow on MM was restored by tryptophan’s and its precursors’ supplementation. Pulldown and bacterial two hybrid assays revealed SCO2038 interaction with PepA, which is putatively involved in the metabolism of serine, glycine and cys…

Tulkojumu kvalitātes novērtēšana kā kvalitātes nodrošināšanas sistēmas sastāvdaļa

2017

Darbā tiek aplūkota tulkojumu kvalitātes novērtēšana kā kvalitātes nodrošināšanas sistēmas sastāvdaļa, pievēršot īpašu uzmanību tulkotāju atlases procesā kandidātiem piedāvāto testa tulkojumu kvalitātes vērtēšanai. Darba mērķis ir piedāvāt tulkojumu kvalitātes novērtēšanas sistēmu un ar tās palīdzību veikt testa tulkojumu korpusa kļūdu analīzi, tādējādi pārbaudot sistēmas piemērojamību tulkojumu vērtēšanai. Izvirzītā mērķa sasniegšanai darba autore veica vairāku tēmai atbilstošu literatūras avotu analīzi un, pielietojot piedāvāto tulkojumu kvalitātes novērtēšanas sistēmu, veica 45 no angļu valodas latviešu valodā tulkotu tekstu korpusa analīzi, kas palīdzēja noteikt problemātiskos gadījumus…
