Prudential Supervisorss Independence and Income Smoothing in European Banks
2018
We investigate the role of prudential supervisors’ independence in affecting income smoothing behavior in European banks. Powerful national supervisors are predicted to influence the accounting practices of their supervised entities, shaping the properties of the accounting numbers they prepare. In particular, we study whether greater independence of powerful supervisors from the government and from the industry is associated with lower income smoothing. We use the mandatory adoption of a single set of accounting standards in Europe as a shock to the influence of prudential supervisors over national banks’ accounting practice. Our results confirm that political and industry independence of …
El derecho de los parlamentarios a recabar documentación administrativa. Nuevas perspectivas jurisprudenciales a raíz de su creciente judicialización
2019
For just over five years, for the first time in our democratic history, the right of parliamentarians to collect documentation from public administrations has been judicialized in the contentious-administrative way. A cluster of cases with a single common focus: tense government-parliament relations in the Valencian Community. This conflict has led, in the course of these years, to a high number of resolutions of both the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community and the Supreme Court. A total of more than forty sentences that have had a considerable impact on the delimitation of this right. This article examines these judicial resolutions and offers a global analysis of the inte…
E‐corporate social responsibility in small non‐profit organisations: the case of Spanish ‘Non Government Organisations’
2012
The image and the reputation of small NGOs have direct bearing on the capacity of these entities to retain and attract members, volunteers and donors. These attributes have been linked to the concept of Social Responsibility. Therefore, for NGOs to be socially responsible and to make this fact known is a key factor that will have a positive influence on their image and reputation and will contribute to their being recognised and to strengthening social confidence in them. This article analyses the e‐corporate social responsibility in Spanish NGOs. It shows the infra‐use that NGOs make of the Internet as an information medium to communicate their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practic…
Arteriosclerosis and other diseases in heads of government and its consequences for the population.
2021
Abstract Heads of government with cerebrovascular arteriosclerosis and other diseases in key historical moments have led to decisions that have marked the destiny of countries not always in a beneficial direction. Severe diseases in political leaders in power have often been hidden from citiziens with the collaboration of personal physicians. The confidentiality of the patient-doctor relationship in special political circumstances should be re examined and subjected to debate. Legal provisions to ensure total transparency of medical information about the health of heads of government should be implemented. Transparency ensures the trust of citizens.
Review of the relationship between aggregates geology and Los Angeles and micro-Deval tests
2021
Rock aggregates constitute the enormous volume of inert construction material used around the globe. The petrologic description as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic types establishes the intrinsic formation pattern of the parent rock. The engineering properties of these rocks vary due to the differences in the transformation process (e.g. hydrothermal deposits) and weathering effect. The two most common mechanical tests used to investigate the performance of aggregates are the Los Angeles (LA) and micro-Deval (MD) tests. This study reviewed the geological parameters (including mineralogy, grain and crystal size, grain shape, and porosity) and the relationship to Los Angeles and micro-De…
Filtering Real World Networks: A Correlation Analysis of Statistical Backbone Techniques
2023
Networks are an invaluable tool for representing and understanding complex systems. They offer a wide range of applications, including identifying crucial nodes, uncovering communities, and exploring network formation. However, when dealing with large networks, the computational challenge can be overwhelming. Fortunately, researchers have developed several techniques to address this issue by reducing network size while preserving its fundamental properties [1-9]. To achieve this goal, two main approaches have emerged: structural and statistical methods. Structural methods aim to keep a set of topological features of the network while reducing its size. In contrast, statistical methods elimi…
NetBone: A Python Package for Extracting Backbones of Weighted Networks
2023
NetBone is a new open-source Python package designed to simplify analyzing complex networks. With a wide range of techniques available, Net-Bone allows researchers to extract the backbone of a network while preserving its essential structure. The package includes nine structural methods and five statistical techniques, offering users a comprehensive solution to network analysis. It is user-friendly and straightforward to use, with easy installation. The package accepts different types of inputs, including data frames or Networkx graphs, and provides evaluation measures for comparative purposes. Additionally, NetBone offers an option to generate plots. Its versatility makes it a valuable too…
Trasparenza del mercato, tutela del consumatore e green washing
2022
Il saggio propone una riflessione sulla politiche di trasparenza del mercato strumentali all’ obiettivo della sostenibilità ambientale. Nella prospettiva del mercato unico sostenibile un ruolo fondamentale viene attribuito ai c.d green claims, laddove alto è il rischio che la sostenibilità divenga per le aziende una semplice strategia di marketing. Il fenomeno, noto come green washing, si pone in una prospettiva peculiare rispetto alla pubblicità ingannevole, pone domande diverse e reclama risposte diverse. Duplice la linea di intervento seguita dal legislatore euro unitario, da una parte la tutela dalle pratiche commerciali scorrette, dall’altra, quella dell’obbligo di conformità al contra…
