Kształcenie uczniów na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju w szkołach ponadgimnazjalnych o profilu technicznym
2017
W artykule podjęto próbę oceny dwupłaszczyznowego postrzegania problemu kształcenia uczniów dla zrównoważonego rozwoju realizowanego zgodnie z koncepcją społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu (CSR) w środowisku lokalnym oraz analizę ich zachowań proekologicznych na przykładzie wybranych szkół ponadgimnazjalnych o profilu technicznym województwa opolskiego. Diagnoza i analiza badań przeprowadzona została w odniesieniu do komponentu poznawczego, afektywnego i behawioralnego postaw uczniów.
Metro Manila’s Challenges: Flooding, Housing and Mobility
2014
Among the many challenges faced by MetroManila, the National Capital Region of the Philippines, three appear as the most pressing issues for the everydaylife of its citizens: housing, flooding and traffic. The rapid increase in population of the metropolitan area had led to a mushrooming of substandard housing and squatting, sometimes in danger areas such as waterways and transport lanes. In a tropical context of heavy monsoon rains and frequent typhoons, riverside slums impeding the flow of water appear as one of the reasons—not the only one—why Manila floods, when at the same time people are placed at high risk. Coupled with a lack of available space throughout the metropolis, the high po…
Ethically ethnic: the ethno-culturalization of the moral conduct of the Sámi and the Roma in the governance in Finland between the 1850s and 1930s
2015
Although there was not a focused administration on ethnic minorities in Finland until the last decades of the 20th century, there was variety of rationalities, techniques and practices of governance used for their conduct. In this article I analyze how the governance of the Roma and the Sámi – two biggest minorities at the time – changed after mid-1800s, when the new understanding, the ethno-cultural one, on population diffused among administration and governing bodies. This Foucauldian analysis concentrates on the descent of this ‘event’, the social and political conditions of its mergence, and the actual changes it meant in the governance of these minorities. peerReviewed
Modeling Employee Satisfaction in Relation to CSR Practices and Attraction and Retention of Top Talent
2013
In today's economy, companies must work harder than ever to attract, retain and motivate talented employees in order to foster employee satisfaction, and in order to do so, CSR practices can provide a strategic tool. A green company no longer denotes solely the promotion of green products or reduction of energy consumption, as it has to incorporate proactive and innovative means of tracking sustainability while involving employees in such corporate behavior. This paper highlights an empirical study of responses from 10 multinational companies regarding their corporate social responsibility initiatives as a way to attract and retain good employees, while providing an appropriate environment …
A systematic literature review on employee relations with CSR : State of art and future research agenda
2022
Within recent years, the literature on employee–CSR relations has grown significantly. However, the research is fragmented throughout various journals and disciplines, and we still lack a comprehensive literature review on the topic to show what we currently know about the employee relationship with CSR, and what we do not know. In this study, we conduct a systematic literature review on employee relations with CSR, based 331 journal articles. We analyze their methodological and theoretical approaches. Based on their key findings, we build a categorization of dominant research findings and their connections. Building on our review, we show how the research has been dominated by a focus on t…
Liderazgo transformacional e intraemprendedurismo. Una relación mediada por la cultura organizacional
2015
El estudio está orientado al análisis de la relación entre el liderazgo transformacional (LT) y el intraemprendedurismo (IE) y la mediación de la cultura organizacional(CO) en dicha relación. Se lleva a cabo con base en una muestra de 400 profesionales. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron para el liderazgo transformacional el diseñado por Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Moorman y Fetter (1990) y Podsakoff, MacKenzie y Bommer (1996); para el intraemprendedurismo el instrumento desarrollado por Mora y Siles (2012) y para la cultura organizacional el instrumento elaborado por Denison y Mishra (1995), adaptado a Costa Rica por Vargas (2013). El análisis de datos se se realiza con el uso de análisis multiv…
Irresponsabilidad social corporativa: el papel de las élites directivas
2018
La Irresponsabilidad Social Corporativa goza de una gran relevancia pues en los últimos tiempos están apareciendo cada vez más casos que evidencian la doble moral de las empresas: esto es, empresas acusadas de comportamientos irresponsables están adoptando, simultáneamente, compromisos en materia social y medioambiental, con los grupos de interés y con la sociedad. Este sería el caso, por ejemplo, de la empresa alemana Volkswagen. Esta empresa, en el mismo momento que era acusada de haber realizado fraude de más de 11 millones de vehículos, su página web recogía que era líder en los ratings más relevantes de RSC o participando activamente en el PMNU. Desgraciadamente este caso no es aislado…
Vaporization Characteristics of Ethanol Droplets: Influence of the Environment Humidity
2011
The study of the gasification of a droplet via vaporization, which involves heat, mass and momentum transfer processes in gas and liquid phases, and their coupling at the droplet interface, is necessary for better understanding and modeling of complex spray and mixture formation issues. A detailed description of the vaporization of an isolated droplet has been realized in this experimental study aimed at investigating the impact of the water vapor contained in the surrounding gas on the evaporation of an ethanol droplet. The experimental set-up consists of a heated chamber with a cross quartz fibers configuration as droplet support. An ethanol droplet is located at the intersection of the c…
De novo CCND2 mutations leading to stabilization of cyclin D2 cause megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus syndrome
2014
Activating mutations in genes encoding phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT pathway components cause megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus syndrome (MPPH, OMIM 603387)(1-3). Here we report that individuals with MPPH lacking upstream PI3K-AKT pathway mutations carry de novo mutations in CCND2 (encoding cyclin D2) that are clustered around a residue that can be phosphorylated by glycogen synthase kinase 313 (GSK-3 beta)(4). Mutant CCND2 was resistant to proteasomal degradation in vitro compared to wild-type CCND2. The PI3K-AKT pathway modulates GSK-3 beta activity(4), and cells from individuals with PIK3CA, PIK3R2 or AKT3 mutations showed similar CCND2 accumulation. CCND…
Segregation in Drying Binary Colloidal Droplets
2019
When a colloidal suspension droplet evaporates from a solid surface, it leaves a characteristic deposit in the contact region. These deposits are common and important for many applications in printing, coating, or washing. By the use of superamphiphobic surfaces as a substrate, the contact area can be reduced so that evaporation is almost radially symmetric. While drying, the droplets maintain a nearly perfect spherical shape. Here, we exploit this phenomenon to fabricate supraparticles from bidisperse colloidal aqueous suspensions. The supraparticles have a core-shell morphology. The outer region is predominantly occupied by small colloids, forming a close-packed crystalline structure. Tow…
