Physical methods to promote drug delivery on mucosal tissues of the oral cavity.

2013

Introduction: The successful of drug delivery through the mucosal tissue of the oral cavity represents a current challenge as well as a great future perspective. The need for more rapid onset of action and improved absorption of medications has resulted in great development of drug delivery technologies that use physical methods to overcome the barrier properties of oral mucosae. Areas covered: This review discusses the various physical techniques which have been, and are being, explored to sustain drug delivery in the oral cavity. In particular, supersaturation, eutectic formation, iontophoresis, electroporation, sonophoresis, laser radiation, photomechanical waves, and needleless injectio…

Challenges in business communication : the essence of corporate English communications practices in Finnish firms

2012

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kartoittaa englanninkielistä viestintää suomalaisissa yrityksissä. Tarkastelun kohteena on myös työntekijöiden henkilökohtainen suhtautuminen monikulttuuriseen viestintään ja omaan suoriutumiseen. Tutkimukseni taustalla on halu ymmärtää, miten suomalaisyritysten kansainvälinen viestintä rakentuu ja minkälaisia velvoitteita ja vaatimuksia se asettaa työntekijöille. Tutkimuksen aineistona on kuusi puolistrukturoitua syvähaastattelua. Haastateltavat työskentelevät Suomessa eri alojen yrityksissä erityyppisissä tehtävissä. Haastattelut nauhoitettiin, litteroitiin ja analysoitiin teemoittain. Tutkimusten tulokset osoittivat kansainvälisen viestinnän suuren osuu…

Testing for external sustainability under a monetary integration process. Does the Lawson doctrine apply to Europe?

2015

Monetary integration, and more specifically, the creation of a monetary union in Europe, raises new economic questions concerning its functioning and governance. In particular, we focus on the implications of high and persistent current account deficits for the economic performance of monetary union members in the medium term. Recent literature has argued that conventional measures of external sustainability are misleading because they omit the effects of capital variations on net foreign asset positions due to, among others, stock or debt market crises. In this paper we revisit external sustainability making use of the database developed by Lane and Milesi-Ferretti (2007) that includes the…

Soil Water Content Assessment: Critical Issues Concerning the Operational Application of the Triangle Method

2015

Knowledge of soil water content plays a key role in water management efforts to improve irrigation efficiency. Among the indirect estimation methods of soil water content via Earth Observation data is the triangle method, used to analyze optical and thermal features because these are primarily controlled by water content within the near-surface evaporation layer and root zone in bare and vegetated soils. Although the soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer theory describes the ongoing processes, theoretical models reveal limits for operational use. When applying simplified empirical formulations, meteorological forcing could be replaced with alternative variables when the above-canopy temperatu…

Family Council From A Cultural Approach: the case of eastern european countries

2021

The family council is a formal mechanism of the family governance in family businesses that aims to give a voice to all members of the family, and to unify the interests of all members. These interests are identified with the purpose of the family, necessary to achieve a long-term legacy, and the sustainability of the company. However, the establishment of the family council is a topic that is still at an incipient stage, both in the literature and for practitioners, so our contribution advances the understanding of family governance within the sphere of family businesses culture and context. For that purpose, we rely on two cultural indexes widely accepted in the literature. We have taken …

Agder as Mutual Competence Builders: Developing Sustainability as a Competitive Advantage

2015

In this chapter, Agder as Mutual Competence Builders: developing sustainability as a competitive advantage, Karen Landmark, Marianne Rodvelt and Stina Torjesen provide a discussion of companies in the Agder region which are organised in the Eyde-network, and how they have developed a common sustainability agenda in co-operation with the university. The chapter shows how this is followed up by organising an Eyde-school as vocational training in co-operation with the university.

Coordinates of the Relationship Between Taxation and Competitiveness in the European Union

2018

Through specialized studies and research, from the analysis of the specific fiscal indicators is demonstrated the role of taxation for growth and economic development. Since the progress and development of a country is closely related to the level of competitiveness, through this article we will identify the main coordinates of the relationship between taxation and competitiveness. Starting from the structure of the Global Competitiveness Index pillars we will identify the fiscal and budgetary components found directly or indirectly in the construction of the index. Without claiming an exhaustive approach, taking into account the specificity of the fiscal policy of the European Union, we wi…

Coordinates and Dynamics of the Relationships between Multinational Enterprises and Economic Development – A Theoretical Approach

2013

Abstract The paper aims to configure, based on the historical analyses of the theories regarding multinational enterprises and economic development (which, most of them, are unilateral, unidimensional and focused on just one theoretical background) a conceptual framework – subsumed to the idea of a matrix with variable architecture that integrates existing models – able to allow and favour the exhaustive and dynamic analysis of the relationships between multinational enterprises and economic development within the current and future spatial and temporal context – characterized by (enormous) complexity, turbulence and volatility.
