Variation sur le thème 'A la recherche de nouvelles fondations pour la finance et la gouvernance d'entreprise'

2001

L'objectif de cet article est de proposer une voie alternative à celle que préconise Zingales pour donner de nouvelles fondations à la finance d'entreprise. En empruntant le même cheminement que Zingales, cet article retient premièrement une définition plus large de la finance, accordant à l'investissement une place au moins équivalente à celle du financement. Deuxièmement, considérant que la vision contractuelle, dans son interprétation traditionnelle fondée sur la protection des actifs spécifiques, conduit à une théorie financière déconnectée de toute considération productive, il propose de lui substituer les théories de la firme associées aux courants cognitifs. Troisièmement, les conséq…

Grammar teaching methods in EFL lessons : factors to consider when making instructional decisions

2016

Kielioppi on vakiinnuttanut asemansa kielen opettamisessa ja oppimisessa ja se on tärkeässä osassa vieraiden kielten opetussuunnitelmaa. Sanotaan, että erilaisia opetusmenetelmiä on yhtä monta kuin on opettajiakin, joten metodien kirjo on todella laaja. Opettajat ovat itse vastuussa siitä, miten kielioppia opettavat, joten he tekevät sen parhaaksi katsomallaan tavalla. Kielten opetusmenetelmiä on tutkittu paljon, mutta vähemmän tutkimuksia on tehty siitä, millä perusteella opettajat opetusmenetelmänsä valitsevat. Tämä tutkielma toteutettiin kuvailevana tapaustutkimuksena, johon osallistui kolme suomalaista englannin kielen opettajaa kolmelta eri koulutasolta. Aineisto kerättiin observoimall…

Il diritto penale oltre la frontiera

2023

A partire dalla considerazione del ruolo che il principio di territorialità riveste nel diritto penale, il contributo sviluppa una rapida riflessione sui rapporti tra cosmopolitismo giuridico e diritto penale e si interroga sui possibili influssi che le teorie sul fondamento universalistico dei diritti umani possono esercitare sul sistema penale stato-centrico.

Selected theories of ageing organisms

2016

Starzenie się jest złożonym procesem biologicznym, którego mechanizmy nie do końca są znane. Istnieje wiele teorii dotyczących mechanizmów tego procesu. W pracy opisano cztery teorie, które poruszają molekularny aspekt starzenia się organizmów. Jest to teoria telomerowa zakładająca wpływ długości telomerów na długość życia. Telomery to zlokalizowane na końcach chromosomów struktury nukleoproteinowe, chroniące przed utratą informacji genetycznej, ulegające skróceniu z każdym cyklem komórkowym. Nadmiernie skrócone telomery sprzyjają powstawaniu nowotworów, starzeniu się komórki i organizmów. Teoria mitochondrialna mówi o wpływie kumulujących się mutacji w mtDNA na procesy starzenia. Według ni…

Improving Hand Hygiene Behavior Using a Novel Theory-Based Intervention During the COVID-19 Pandemic

2022

Abstract Background Promoting the adoption of personal hygiene behaviors known to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as avoiding touching one’s face with unwashed hands, is important for limiting the spread of infections.

THEORIES OF THE MULTINATIONAL ENTERPRISES – TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES

2012

Multinational enterprises – as key determinants and results (in the same time) of the globalization process that characterize the economic world nowadays – know a lot of different approaches in the academic literature; this is a consequence of the refinement (in time) of the (firm’s) internationalization strategies and practices – which is determined, at its turn, by the continuous dynamics and challenges of the world economy. By this paper we would like to bring into attention two of these general theoretical frameworks; they were developed by Wladimir Andreff (into his 2003 book: Les multinationals globales), and Mats Forsgren respectively (into his 2008 book: Theories of the Multinationa…
