The Rodrik Trilemma and the Dahrendorf Quandary: An Empirical Assessment

2021

Rodrik’s Trilemma rests on the incompatibility of democracy, national sovereignty, and global economic integration: any two can be combined, but never all three simultaneously and in full. Addressing the same problèmatique but from a different perspective, Dahrendorf’s Quandary posits that, over time, maintaining global economic competitiveness requires countries either to adopt measures detrimental to the cohesion of civil society or to restrict civil liberties and political participation. The purpose of this article is to examine the empirical foundations of Rodrik’s and Dahrendorf’s propositions. When one assesses developed market economies from 1991 to 2014, evidence suggests that only …

Ethical Considerations in Crowdfunding

2020

AbstractThe current chapter addresses ethical issues in crowdfunding practice from a multiple stakeholder perspective. It draws on ethical principles outlined in both classical and business-specific approaches. The discussion first presents classical approaches to ethical decision making. It then discusses whether crowdfunding presents an ethical solution or a source of ethical problems. Later, it suggests a framework presenting a classification of potential ethical dilemmas and pitfalls in crowdfunding practice, as well as potential means for addressing them. The discussion concludes with concrete implications for crowdfunding ethics research and practice.

Hyperbolic discount curves: a reply to Ainslie

2013

Published version of an article in the journal: Theory and Decision. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11238-013-9361-8 Ainslie (Theory and Decision, 73, 3-34, 2012) challenges our interpretation of the properties of hyperbolic discount curves in an iterated prisoners' dilemma (IPD) model. In this reply, we discuss the emergence of hyperbolic discount functions in the behavioral economics literature and evaluate their properties. Furthermore, we present a summarized version of our IPD model and evaluate Ainslie's points of contention.

Just a leader? Leadership work challenges and identity contradiction experienced by Finnish physician leaders.

2021

PurposeThis study seeks to improve the understanding of physician leaders' leadership work challenges.Design/methodology/approachThe subjects of the empirical study were physician leaders (n = 23) in the largest central hospital in Finland.FindingsA total of five largely identity-related, partially paradoxical dilemmas appeared regarding why working as “just a leader” is challenging for physician leaders. First, the dilemma of identity ambiguity between being a physician and a leader. Second, the dilemma of balancing the expected commitment to clinical patient work by various stakeholders and that of physician leadership work. Third, the dilemma of being able to compensate for leadership sk…

The Concept of Value for CSR: A Debate Drawn from Italian Classical Accounting

2017

This paper underlines the importance of the concept of value for corporate social responsibility (CSR) and then explores it beyond economics, looking for its social and philosophical roots. Considering the most recent literature on the matter, the dilemma between a non-monetary, multi-variable conception and a monetary, one-variable conception is set. To obtain the origins of the meaning for this basic concept in CSR, Italian literature regarding ‘value in accounting’ is explored. The main result from this first survey is the existence of a ‘chain’ from the highest conception of value (philosophical, ethical), to the most practical conception (accounting techniques of measurement). By this …

Burning mouth syndrome: a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma

2012

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) has been considered an enigmatic condition because the intensity of pain rarely corresponds to the clinical signs of the disease. Various local, systemic and psychological factors are associated with BMS, but its etiology is not fully understood. Also there is no consensus on the diagnosis and classification of BMS. A substantial volume of research has been focused on BMS during the last two decades. Progress has been made but the condition remains a fascinating, yet poorly understood area, in the field of oral medicine. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in this disorder with the discovery that the pain of BMS may be neuropathic in origin and ori…

Characterization of membrane structure modifications induced during plant defense signaling

2017

SPEIPMUBINRADOCT; Plasma membrane was long considered as a simple separation between internal and external cellular environment. But more, it is a dynamic interface, an exchange platform. Now, recent researches highlight its role in plant defense responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. We use the tobaccocryptogein model to study the early steps of plant cell responses to pathogen detection. The signaling cascade includes an oxidative burst triggering an increase of plasma membrane order. The level of membrane order informs us about both packing and arrangement of membrane components, this parameter being evaluated by spectrofluorimetric approaches using a lipidic environment-sensitive pro…

Postmodernistyczna kultura i jej wpływ na nurty pedagogiczne – wyzwania i dylematy współczesnego pedagoga

2017

Artykuł porusza istotne problemy związane z kontekstami kultury postmodernistycznej i jej wpływem na nowe nurty pedagogiczne, ze szczególnym zwróceniem uwagi na wyzwania i dylematy współczesnego pedagoga. Relewantne są rozważania dotyczące kultury toksycznej, w stosunku do której można użyć tautologicznego stwierdzenia, że jest ona „ kulturą” nie kulturalną. Wpływ tej kultury, lansowanej w mediach, jest jednak wszechobecny i to on kształtuje postawy przyszłych pedagogów – strategów „nowych” koncepcji pedagogicznych, a także systemów oświatowych
