Growth and convergence in Africa: The impact of spatial effects
2010
The aim of this paper is to study the impact of spatial effects on convergence process in Africa over the period 1975-2000. Taking into account these effects through the methodology of Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and spatial econometrics, we focus on the geographical dimension of economic convergence of African countries. This allows us to deal with spatial autocorrelation which is a consequence of econometric interdependences due to geographic spillovers. Indeed, countries economic performance hides specific geographical patterns providing information on the importance of location on economic dynamics. Our results prove the existence of convergence process in Africa through a …
On international spillovers
2012
Abstract This study investigates the role of international spillovers in generating productivity gains for a panel of 24 OECD countries during the period between 1971 and 2004. We use recent techniques developed in a common factor framework to characterize the global interdependence implied by international spillovers and the diffusion mechanisms involved. Consistently with some recent studies in this field, the evidence suggests that there are substantial cross-country spillovers mainly related to R&D and human capital variables, which contribute significantly to productivity.

NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS - SCENARIOS FOR ROMANIA
2012
Competitiveness remains a continuous concern of nations in any stage of development, from factor based economy to innovation based economy. The present paper aims to emphasize the current level of national competitiveness of Romania, on one hand, and to identify possible ways to improve the current level by building scenarios in order to eliminate the uncertainty, on the other hand. The paper proposes four scenarios for increase GCI (growth competitiveness index) and four scenarios from pessimistic point of view (in these scenarios GCI will be decrease). In the near future, Romania must improve their pillars of national competitiveness and must increase their GDP per capita for transition p…

Polyseeminen "vaikka" ja neuvottelun retoriikka / Polysemic forms of "vaikka " and the rhetoric of negotiation
2006
Polysemic forms of vaikka and the rhetoric of negotiation (englanti) 2/2006 (110) Polysemic forms of vaikka and the rhetoric of negotiation The article analyses the use of the Finnish lexeme vaikka ([al]though but also even if, say, for example and on the other hand, indeed) in spoken Finnish, and especially in certain planning and negotiating situations. The forms in which this lexeme occur are described as facilitators of argumentation based on concessiveness. The writer applies the cardinal concessive schema of Couper-Kuhlen and Thompson (2000): In negotiations this schema is used to modify, weaken or contradict statement X and to confirm counter statement Y. The writer hypothesises that…

Vanhempien kokemuksia perheiden arjesta 24/7-yhteiskunnassa
2015
Tässä pro gradu –tutkielmassa selvitettiin tyypillisinä ja epätyypillisinä työaikoina työskentelevien vanhempien kokemuksia perheiden arjesta. Aiheen tutkiminen on tärkeää, koska aikaisempi tutkimustieto perheiden arjesta suomalaisessa 24 tuntia avoinna olevan yhteiskunnan kontekstissa on vähäistä. Vuorokauden ympäri auki oleva yhteiskunta koskettaa yhä useampia perheitä ja niissä eläviä vanhempia ja lapsia. Tämä tutkimus on laadullinen tutkimus. Tutkimuksessa tutkittiin tyypillisinä ja epätyypillisinä työaikoina työskentelevien vanhempien kokemuksia perheiden arjen rytmeistä sekä lasten- ja kodinhoidon vastuunjaosta. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, millaisia yhteneväisyyksiä ja eroavai…
NBI and Laryngeal Papillomatosis: A Diagnostic Challenge: A Systematic Review.
2022
Narrow-band imaging (NBI) represents a valid aid in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) diagnosis for detecting vascular changes. However, LSCC and laryngeal papillomatosis (LP) show similar vascular patterns that may lead to misdiagnosis and improper treatment. This review aims to deepen this NBI limit in order to stress a careful preoperative evaluation of laryngeal lesions. The research was carried out on PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases using specific keywords. The topic of research was assessed by these parameters: accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. This review included only five articles: they demonstrated that NBI is bette…
