Dvēsele latviešu tautas senajā kultūras mantojumā pieminēta apmēram 4 tūkst. reizes.

Vai senās mantotās zināšanas ir saskaņojamas ar mūsdienu zinātnes atklājumiem, hipotēzēm, meklējumiem. Referāts nolasīts LU konferencē. Gala versija vēl top.
Agents of change: Women in top management and corporate environmental performance
2020
International audience; We analyze the influence of gender diversity in top management on the environmental performance of French firms. Consistent with gender socialization theory, which posits that women are raised from childhood to be more nurturing and compassionate for others, we find that firms with more women in top management exhibit higher environmental performance. This result extends those already reported in the literature regarding the effect of gender diversity at board level. We also show that women in top management are associated with several key indicators such as development of eco‐friendly products and commitment to resource reduction. Furthermore, we find that the influ…

Gender diversity and governance: Analysis of Italian listed companies
2020
In recent years, many countries have adopted different legislative and self-regulatory initiatives to be able to tackle the problem of the underrepresentation of women on boards. Also, Italy with Law No. 120/2011 introduced the gender issue adopting the normative that 1/3 of the elected members would be women. In this job, a primary aim was to study over the period 2016/2018 the impact of female presence on boards of 50 companies listed on the Italian Stock Exchange. In depth, our results confirm that Italian Law has produced significant effects on the composition of the corporate board. The result of our study shows that women positively influence corporate performance, this is perfectly i…
Are virtues national, supranational, or universal?
2014
Many studies investigated cultural differences in values, most notably by Hofstede and Schwarz. Relatively few have focused on virtues, a related and important concept in contemporary social science. The present paper examines the similarities and differences between nations, or blocks of - culturally related - nations on the perceived importance of virtues. Adults (N = 2.809 students) from 14 countries were asked to freely mention which virtues they found important to practice in daily life, and next to rate a list of 15 virtues, which reflect the most frequently mentioned categories in The Netherlands, as found in a previous study. The 14 nations included the United States, Mexico, nine E…
Social Geographical Patterns in Membership of the Established Church in Denmark
2019
The Church of Denmark was established in 1849 and is regarded as a pillar of traditional national identity. This status is being challenged by a steady decline in membership in recent decades. The Capital area is especially prone to low membership rates, and this regional pattern remains when the analysis controls for income and education. Furthermore, the local membership rate is also related to affiliation to the neighbourhood. Our detailed analysis is based on public register data on the individual level combined with geographical mapping information. Denmark is thereby divided into micro-aggregated areas in order to locate varying church membership rates. While some local variation can …

2019
Rakstā atainota Rīgas pilsētas otrā tipogrāfa Gerharda Šrēdera (Gerhard Schröder, ?-1657) darbības vide un dzīvesgājums. Vispirms iezīmēti grāmatiespiešanas pirmsākumi Rīgā, tipogrāfa pienākumi, pasūtījumu klāsts, atlīdzība par darbu un iegūstamās privilēģijas. Tad aplūkoti priekšnoteikumi, kas Gerhardam Šrēderam bija jāizpilda, lai iegūtu Rātes atļauju pārņemt darbu Nikolaja Mollīna (Niclaes Mollijns, ap 1550/1555-1625) spiestuvē. Tipogrāfijas kvalitātes un iespieddarbu specifikas raksturošanai pētīti okazionālās dzejas iespieddarbi: apskatīts poligrāfiskais izpildījums (vienā iespieddarbā izmantoto dažādo izmēru un veidu burtu komplektu skaits, dekoratīvo elementu, kokgrebumu un gravīru p…
