Noziedzīgus ekonomiskos nodarījumus apzīmējošo angļu valodas terminu latviešu valodas atbilsmju analīze
2022
Līdzvērtība ir apspriesta gan kā utopiska, gan kā pastāvoša un nepieciešama tulkošanas teorijā. Pētījums palīdz gūt izpratni par to, kā līdzvērtība tiek panākta Latvijas Krimināllikuma tulkojumā angļu valodā, salīdzinot ar terminiem, kas izmantoti citos tiesību aktos valstīs, kur oficiālā valoda ir angļu. Mērķis ir identificēt un analizēt terminoloģiskos ekvivalentus, kas apzīmē ekonomiskos nodarījumus, kas tiek izmantoti latviešu valodā salīdzinājumā ar valstīm, kā Apvienoto Karalisti, ASV un Kanādu. Šajā darbā tiek izmantotas tādas kvalitatīvas izpētes metodes, kā literatūras apskats un satura analīze. Konstatēts, ka visvairāk izmantotā tulkošanas stratēģija latviešu – angļu valodas tulko…
The value of a network in the digital era: insights about Doctor Chat case study
2017
Networks are ubiquitous in our lives in their social, physical, and digital forms. A growing number of firms today rely entirely on networking and lack a physical location or material infrastructure; they are, so to speak, 'liquid'. Through a theoretical analysis and its application to the case of Doctor Chat mobile app, this paper aims to analyse the fundamental laws of networks and to answer the following questions: 1) are the traditional methods to estimate the network value still valid in the current digital age and in particular for mobile applications?; 2) how do the laws of networks work when networks expand? We conclude with some suggestions for a research agenda in order to inspire…
Quantifying trade-offs between ecological gains, economic costs, and landowners' preferences in boreal mire protection.
2021
Private land often encompasses biodiversity features of high conservation value, but its protection is not straightforward. Commonly, landowners’ perspectives are rightfully allowed to influence conservation actions. This unlikely comes without consequences on biodiversity or other aspects such as economic considerations, but these consequences are rarely quantitatively considered in decision-making. In the context of boreal mire protection in Finland, we report how acknowledging landowners’ resistance to protection changes the combination of mires selected to conservation compared to ignoring landowners’ opinions. Using spatial prioritization, we quantify trade-offs arising between the amo…
Governance of global value chains after the Covid-19 pandemic: A new wave of regionalization?
2021
The disruption of the trade and investment activities of multinational enterprises as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic has reinvigorated the debate on the configuration of global value chains (GVCs) as well as the risks and challenges associated with offshoring. This article depicts how the pandemic might affect GVC configuration by driving a trend toward a more regional footprint in industries in which resilience and reliability are critical. Such a shift would create new opportunities for reshoring, and affect both the types of upgrading trajectories and the governance systems in value chains. The article also draws from the intersection of the global-strategy and value-chain field…
Development of trust in the CEO-chair relationship
2017
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the trust development in the dyadic relationship of CEO and chair of the board. Design/methodology/approach A narrative approach is adopted to examine the meanings that CEOs and chairpersons give to trust in their relationship, and to explore trust as an evolving phenomenon that can increase or decline over the course of the relationship. The data include 16 CEO-chair dyads from Finnish limited companies. Findings The results suggest that trust may exist on different levels and evolve in various ways during the course of the relationship. Integrity and agreement on company strategy are proposed to form the foundation for trust in the CEO-chai…
Value at risk : eksponentiaalisesti painotettu historiallinen simulaatio
2014
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli toteuttaa Value at Risk-malleja vertaileva backtesting-tutkimus. Malleiksi valikoituivat perinteinen painottamaton historiallinen simulaatio ja eksponentiaalisesti painotettu historiallinen simulaatio. Tavoitteena oli tutkia kannattaako havaintoja painottaa koska molemmat mallit olivat siinä mielessä vertailukelpoisia, että painotettu malli toteutettuna painotuskertoimella 1, eli kaikki havainnot saavat saman painon vastaa painottamatonta variaatiota. Lähtökohtana oli, että painottaminen on kannattavaa koska painottamattomassa versiossa pienillä havaintomäärillä havaintojoukko ei ole edustava ja suurilla havaintomäärillä taas malli ei kykene huomioimaan m…
Toeholds and takeover probability: implications for investment strategies
2009
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose various toehold indicators and analyse whether the models incorporating these indicators can be used to establish investment strategies.Design/methodology/approachLogistic regression is used to test toehold indicator significance.FindingsThe results reflect that the designed measures are positively correlated to the likelihood of launching a takeover, although the power of the models to predict out‐sample takeovers is moderate, between 60.71 percent and 71.59 percent. The indicators allow us to design strategies which offer positive abnormal returns. In particular, abnormal return over the Fama‐French factors is 0.5 percent.Originality/valueToe…

Mulching practices for reducing soil water erosion: A review
2016
Abstract Among the soil conservation practices that are used, mulching has been successfully applied to reduce soil and water losses in different contexts, such as agricultural lands, fire-affected areas, rangelands and anthropic sites. In these contexts, soil erosion by water is a serious problem, especially in semi-arid and semi-humid areas of the world. Although the beneficial effects of mulching are known, further research is needed to quantify them, especially in areas where soil erosion by water represents a severe threat. In the literature, there are still some uncertainties about how to maximize the effectiveness of mulching to reduce the soil and water loss rates. Given the serious…
Energy-Efficient Edge Computing Service Provisioning for Vehicular Networks: A Consensus ADMM Approach
2019
In vehicular networks, in-vehicle user equipment (UE) with limited battery capacity can achieve opportunistic energy saving by offloading energy-hungry workloads to vehicular edge computing nodes via vehicle-to-infrastructure links. However, how to determine the optimal portion of workload to be offloaded based on the dynamic states of energy consumption and latency in local computing, data transmission, workload execution and handover, is still an open issue. In this paper, we study the energy-efficient workload offloading problem and propose a low-complexity distributed solution based on consensus alternating direction method of multipliers. By incorporating a set of local variables for e…
