Counting Berg partitions via Sturmian words and substitution tilings
2013
We develop the connection of Berg partitions with special substitution tilings of two tiles. We obtain a new proof that the number of Berg partitions with a fixed connectivity matrix is equal to half of the sum of its entries, [12]. This approach together with the formula of Seebold [10], for the number of substitutions preserving a given Sturmian sequence, shows that all of the combinatorial substitutions can be realized geometrically as Berg partitions. We treat Sturmian tilings as intersection tilings of bi-partitions. Using the symmetries of bi-partitions we obtain geometrically the palindromic properties of Sturmian sequences (Theorem 3) established combinatorially by de Luca and Migno…
La nuisibilité directe des adventices en grandes cultures : quelles réponses nous apportent les essais désherbages ?
2016
The direct harmful effect of weeds in field crops : what do herbicide trials tell us ? Weeds are plants whose undesirable qualities (“harmfulness") outweigh their desirable qualities (trophic resources). Few studies conclude that weeds do not affect crop yield. However, it is difficult to generalize since weeds compete with crops for resources and these resources are spatially and temporally variable. This study analyzed 110 herbicide trials (untreated vs. treated plots) performed in France from 1993 to 2015 on three major grain crops: winter wheat, winter oilseed rape and sunflower. Significant yield losses were found in 92% of wheat trials (average over all trials: -2.6 t/ha), 51% of wint…
Sotalapsikokemukset kielellisen identiteetin ja elämäkerran lähtökohtana
2017
Tutkielmani käsittelee sitä, miten sotalapsikokemukset ovat vaikuttaneet sotalasten kieli-identiteettiin ja kielielämäkertaan. Sotalapsilla tarkoitetaan niitä lähes 80 000 suomalaislasta, jotka siirrettiin vuosina 1939–1945 Suomen talvi- ja jatkosodan takia muihin Pohjoismaihin, pääasiassa Ruotsiin. Sotalapset omaksuivat repertoaariinsa uuden kielen, ja suomenkieliset resurssit unohtuivat usein käyttämättöminä. Suomeen palatessaan sotalapset oppivat suomea uudelleen. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sitä, millaiset kokemukset ovat olleet merkityksellisiä Suomeen palanneiden sotalasten kielielämäkertojen kannalta ja millaisia merkityksiä eri kielille rakentuu sotalasten kertomuksissa. Tutki…
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOMEN´S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS TECHNICAL SKILL, PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE TEST RESULTS AND SUCCESS IN COMPETITIONS IN FINLAND
2019
The aim of this study was to find out the potential of the Minoritest to identify the most likely talented gymnasts to join the national team pre-training group in Finland. The study examined the relationships between gymnasts´ (N=215, age 10–13) Minoritest results (2006–2010) and success in competitions after the Minoritests until the end of 2016. The competition results were also compared between the gymnasts who had participated in the test and a random number (N=180) of gymnasts who had not. According to this study, the majority (92%) of the best gymnasts in competitions had participated in the Minoritest. 39% of the best in competitions were among the top 10 in the Minoritest. The test…
The Concept of Key Success Factors in Logistics and Supply Chain Management in the Context of Creating Business Competitive Advantage
2018
Firms are constantly looking for ways to create a competitive advantage. An important place among the factors affecting the way in which this advantage is gained is taken by success factors including, but not limited to, the so-called key success factors that may be related to the domains of logistics and supply chain management. The aim of the article is to identify the basic characteristics of the concept of key success factors in logistics and supply chain management. The article presents the essence and importance of success factors in the context of creating the business competitive advantage, the basic concepts of key success factors related to resource-based and market-based strategi…
ARGUMENTS FOR CSR-BASED SUSTAINABLE COMPETITIVENESS OF MULTINATIONALS IN EMERGING MARKETS (PART II)
2015
The (two parts of the) paper aims to bring into discussion the case of CSR-based sustainable competitiveness of multinationals in emerging market economies, through an interdisciplinary approach (international business and strategic management) applied to a multilevel analysis (country and company). The main conclusion of the paper is that, despite the circumstances that nowadays characterize international business in general and the emerging market economies in particular, such a transformation in business models is not only desirable, but mandatory. Key arguments in favor of this assumption are found (both theoretically and empirically) at global/general level and, as well, at the emergin…

THROUGH CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
2013
The goal of sustainable development is one of the most actual and stringent desideratum equally declaimed and assumed nowadays at all of the society’s levels – by individuals (politicians, academics, and civil society militants), organizations (firms as well as non-for-profit organizations of any kind) and authorities (local, national, regional, global). This goal offers to each one of them the opportunity to act responsible (through corporate social responsibility policies and practices developed by their management) but also the threat of falling into the trap of not reaching the global (sustainable) competitiveness that each one of them dreams about; so, it depends only on each and all o…
Circular economy and environmental protection
2022
<abstract> <p>The circular economy represents a form of corporate production with respect to environmental resources. In the past, these production systems were widespread on the basis of the non-removability of the production factors. The advent of economic growth, in capitalist economies, has led to the deconstruction of production cycles resulting to a food product being produced in one part of the world, whilst the raw materials and processing phases are carried out in several parts of the world, due to the low production costs there. While these economic systems, on the one hand, have led to a growth in the global economic system, on the other hand they have determined the …
APPLYING SUSTAINABLE MARKETING STRATEGIES – THE KEY TO OBTAINING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES ON THE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS MARKET
2014
The crux of any marketing strategy is to give business an advantage in a competitive market. The success of implementing a strategy is measured in economic terms by: sales volume, market share, profits, listed stock prices etc. In general, managers attach too much importance to obtaining short-term profit and ignore or disregard the profit made by the company in the long run. If for a company the only objective is to achieve economic success in the short term, then the interest in the direction of sustainable development is not the subject of the discussion. The studies published in various economy publications, the media debates, the actions undertaken by different NGOs frequently bring to…
