CLAUSOLE VESSATORIE, NULLITÀ DI PROTEZIONE E POTERI DEL GIUDICE: ALCUNI PUNTI FERMI DOPO LE SENTENZE JŐRÖS E ASBEEK BRUSSE
2013
The paper takes the recent cases Erika Jőrös (Case C- 397/11,) and Asbeek Brusse,(case C-488-11), both dated 30 may 2013, as a starting point for a more general analysis of the ECJ’s approach to the legal consequences to be drawn by a national Court from finding that a contractual term is unfair. According to the Author, the approach adopted by the Court is the same that it has already been expressed in Mostaza Claro case. By revisiting the earlier Océno, the Court clarified that national courts have not only the right but even the duty to assess the fairness or unfairness of standards terms of their own motion. Well, beginning from Mostaza Claro judgement and until the last ones, the ECJ h…

A note on fair value accounting in a crisis: The influence of the hedge accounting regulations
2010
Published version of an article published in the journal: Business and Economics Journal. Also available from the publisher at: http://astonjournals.com/manuscripts/Vol2010/BEJ-13_Vol2010.pdf The role of fair value accounting in the financial crisis is contorversial and heavily debated. Some claim that fair value accounting of financial instruments contributed to the recent crisis. This note acknowledges that, in many industries, a significant proportion of the financial instruments are entered into for hedging purposes. I examine if a crisis through the hedge accounting regulations, can affect the overall use og fair value accounting in an economy. I present analytical evidence that the bo…
Leksiski stilistiskie līdzekļi Dž. R.R. Tolkīna garastāstā Kalējs no Lielās Vutonas
2017
Šajā darbā tiek pētīti leksiskie stilistiskie valodas izteiksmes līdzekļi Dž.R.R Tolkīna fantāzijas novelē Kalējs no Lielās Vutonas. Tolkīnam bija unikāls rakstīšanas stils, kurā galveno lomu spēlēja iztēle un alegoriska valoda, jo viņš uzskatīja, ka mītu vai pasakas būtību var pārnest izmantojot tikai šadu valodu. Kalējs no Lielas Vutonas bija Tolkīna pedējais literārais darbs, kurš tika izdots viņa dzīves laikā, un tajā bija daudz alegorieski tēli, kuri pēc pētnieku domām atspoguļoja Tolkīnas dzīvi. Šis pētijums tika veikts, lai noteiktu leksiski stilistisko līdzekļu nozīmi un funkciju izvēlēta fantāzijas novelē. Ar teksta analīzes metodes palīdzību tika noteikti un analizēti leksiski sti…
Students’ Opinions on Financial Compensation from Project Work
2015
Project-based learning with real customers arguably offer value for all stakeholders. This value has been discussed in literature both from the viewpoint of customers and the related economic value, and the enhanced learning of students. This paper presents the results from an empirical study on students who have completed a multidisciplinary project course with real customers. A qualitative survey was focused on how students see the value of project-based learning and whether there should be financial compensation to students. The students placed a higher value on learning than financial compensation, and while they argued that it would be fair and nice if some compensation was paid, they …
TV-theatre: TV Presence in Contemporary Theatre for Children and Young Audiences in Buenos Aires
2009
In Argentina, television shows have created their own theatrical shows, which run for the winter holidays, using the same stories, same characters, and same actors but onstage. Many artists who devote themselves all year long to theatre for children see those “TV-theatre” shows as unfair competition, arguing that such huge productions lack actual artistry and cultural value. This paper aims to examine the characteristics of the TV-theatre, including how much theatre and how much TV languages, codes, and messages it contains, using Pavis´s concept of “intermediality.” If one of theatre for children's greatest goals or outcomes is to create future audiences/theatregoers, and to impart in them…

Simulation-Based Performance Study of e-Commerce Web Server System – Results for FIFO Scheduling
2013
The chapter concerns the issue of overloaded Web server performance evaluation using a simulation-based approach. We focus on a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) environment and consider server performance both from the perspective of computer system efficiency and e-business profitability. Results of simulation experiments for the Web server system under First-In-First-Out (FIFO) scheduling are discussed. Much attention has been paid to the analysis of the impact of a limited server system capacity on business-related performance metrics.

Faire retour (les révoltes logiques, mai 68 et ses vies antérieures)
2012
International audience; « Le drapeau va aux paysages immondes Et notre patois étouffe le tambour Au centre nous alimenterons la plus cynique prostitution. Nous massacrerons les révoltes logiques ». Rimbaud, « Démocratie », Illuminations. Les Révoltes logiques (Rl dorénavant) naissent d'un moment auquel la revue ne survit pas, l'entre-deux mai1. Circonscrite en ce moment charnière où dans la décomposition du gauchisme se profile la restauration intellectuelle de la décennie mitterrandienne2, les Rl entonnent une partition singulière, bien qu'affine à d'autres revues soeurs également nées du choc de mai, Les cahiers du Forum-histoire, le Peuple français. Pourquoi revenir alors sur les Rl ? No…
