Imbalance of Power: Social Service Entrepreneurss Experiences of Entrepreneur-Municipality Relationship
2014
We investigate the complex dynamics between social service entrepreneurs and social sector managers through the lens of network metaphor, utilizing our data on social service entrepreneurs’ experiences of cooperation with municipalities. We examine what kinds of dependencies exist in the entrepreneur–municipality relationships and what kind of consequences these dependencies have on social service businesses run by entrepreneurs. Basing on the social service entrepreneurs experience, our findings suggest that while the cooperation with the municipality represents a prerequisite for success, their business represent only one alternative for the renewal of social service structures from the p…
Using the Modelling and Simulation Techniques to Improve the Management of SMEs Belonging to Regional Clusters
2015
Abstract The efficiency of exploiting the software takes on new dimensions under the conditions of integrated exploitation at the level of process and structural organization of SMEs found within the regional strategic alliances. The modeling and simulation of the leadership and regulation processes of the supply, sales and production flows imply a complex display of forces between the different partners of the logistic chain which can be supported by the existence of some data bases developed based on information partnership whose purpose is to counterattack the communication barriers and to ensure a flow and flexibility of the entire logistic flow. The modeling and simulation of the non-i…
Portfolio: Integrating Writing, Learning and Assessment
2001
This chapter examines portfolio assessment as a tool to support learning by integrating writing in various learning tasks and environments. The author argues that the constructivist and socioconstructivist views of learning necessitate new ideas also in the assessment where the learners have the main role and where the partnership between students and teachers has to be renegotiated. In particular, renegotiation is needed in making decisions on assessment criteria for writing and learning that respect learners’ individuality and diversity and empower students with regard to their learning. The learning, assessment and negotiation can take place in various ways and environments. Accordingly,…
Współczesne związki intymne w sieci przeszkód i sprzeczności
2020
W artykule przyglądam się przeszkodom i sprzecznościom, które wynikają ze zmienności naszej rzeczywistości i z jednej strony są charakterystyczne dla czasów, w których żyjemy – dlatego są nieredukowalne – a z drugiej utrudniają lub nawet uniemożliwiają ludziom tworzenie satysfakcjonujących związków intymnych. Traktowane jako opresyjne i niesprawiedliwe nierówności w związku, konieczność kompromisu przy dominacji różnych odmian indywidualizmu i koncentracji na „ja” czy negocjacyjny charakter relacji komplikują budowanie szczęśliwych związków oraz tak ważną w nich intymności.
Fluorine and Gold: A Fruitful Partnership
2016
Gold-catalyzed reactions have witnessed an exponential growth in the past decade. When the unique modes of activation exhibited by gold species meet species with either fluorinated building blocks or fluorinating reagents, new opportunities arise for the development of new methodologies in fluoroorganic chemistry. Indeed, gold and fluorine truly formed a very fruitful partnership, and different types of reactivity emerged from their combination. This review gives an overview of such endeavors. The special properties imparted by fluorine to organic molecules have been exploited in gold-catalyzed processes, allowing for the generation of unprecedented fluorinated chemical entities. Thus, the …

Open Government – A Long Way Ahead for Romania
2014
Abstract Although the topic of OPEN Government isn’t quite as new, the citizens of the world seem not to have acknowledged the responsibility they share with the authorities in really implementing it. Thus some progress has been made, there is still a long way ahead with regard of the active participation of the citizens, on one hand and the mitigation of the still existing extensive state secrecy, on the other. Romania has committed to achieve the goals stated in the Open Government Partnership, but there are still many things to be considered. The main aspects analyzed in this paper are: fiscal transparency, access to information, Disclosures Related to Elected or Senior Public Officials …
The taint of torture and the brazilian legal system
2019
In Brazil, the practice of torture intertwines deeply with its own history. The literature on the subject has had a greater intensification on its registers during the Dictatorial Regime (1964 to 1985). In spite of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, Brazil only makes efforts to investigate the crimes of torture of this period to comply with the provisions of the United Nations in 2011. Within this scenario, the NationalTruth Commission (Law 12.528, of November 2011) was created with the purpose of clarifying the facts and circumstances of cases concerning human rights violations, as well as the Law on Access to Information (Law 12.527 of November 2011), which have regulated the constitutio…
Democratic Dialogue and Development: An Intellectual Obituary of Björn Gustavsen
2018
Abstract Bjorn Gustavsen, with an original professional background as a lawyer and judge in his native Norway, had a formative role in organisational development processes in Norway, Sweden, Scandinavia and the European Union over four decades. Following in the tradition of Norwegian working life research by Trist and Thorsrud, he provided the conceptual framework and practical case studies which have driven major national and international programmes. He learned from different experience of organisational change in, for example, the USA and Japan, but he identified a distinctive way forward for the European Union, where he acted as a senior adviser. In contrast to conventional Taylorist to…
Effect of partner–agent model practice on microinsurance client value: Insight from microfinance institutions in Tanzania
2018
In absence of formal microinsurance to protect low-income people against natural and man-made disasters, the partnership between insurance companies and microfinance institutions (MFIs), also known as the Partner–Agent Model (PAM), is gaining global recognition from governments, practitioners, and donors for its potential role to deliver microinsurance. Although the model is still nascent in Tanzania, it has significantly increased microinsurance outreach. However, while the microinsurance landscape has been extensively studied, the effect of PAM practice on mandatory microinsurance client value has not received much attention. Therefore, this study examines how the PAM practice affects mic…
