Model for Assessing Information Logistics Systems in Banks: Lithuanian Case Study
Get PDFThis study aims to provide valuable insights into the information logistics process and to ensure the effectiveness of its systems in the business environment by discussing the banking sector. In this regard, this study investigates the information logistics system of a bank’s IT service center. For this purpose, the instruments for transfer of the bank Z information logistics system were empirically tested in order to highlight the assessment factors; the various factors related to the bank Z information logistics management methodologies and the methods were examined. The key findings and contributions were achieved, i.e., we developed a systematic model for assessing information logistics systems in a bank. The model explains the adaptation of various methodologies and techniques of information logistics systems in the banking sector and justifies the platform of interaction of information logistics processes. The first part of the article introduces the concept of information logistics systems and unpacks its development and management methodologies and processes. The second part introduces the research methodology for assessing information logistics systems. The results highlight the system of management processes applied to the information logistics and discuss the areas and tools for improving this system. The main outcome of this research is presented in the third part, where the systematic model for assessing information logistics systems is developed. This model distinguishes the stages of information logistics cycles and the levels of the information logistics environments. It indicates the information logistics methodologies and techniques linking to the six types of management processes in the IT service center of a bank. The developed model helps to make the assessment of the information cycle more efficient and demonstrates a customizable result which can be adapted by other companies within their IT service centers
Modelling Innovative Enterprise around Coffee Growing
Get PDFThe coffee trade has been observed as an alternative for entrepreneurship in the face of the health and
economic crisis of Covid-19. The objective of this work was to model innovative entrepreneurship. An exploratory,
retrospective and systematic study was carried out with a selection of sources indexed to international repositories,
considering a search by keywords. Axes, trajectories and relationships between variables that explain the
phenomenon were found, suggesting extending the work to other repositories and categories, as well as the
inclusion of other variables reported as mediating and moderating the effect of the pandemic on coffee growing
Vietos valdžios krizių valdymas reaguojant į COVID-19: Pietų Sulavesio Indonezijoje atvejo analizė
No full textCC BY-NC-NDCrisis management is one of the government’s primary responsibilities, and
it therefore needs to be properly administered. The purpose of this research is to analyze the
ability of local government to handle crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic
in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study also determines the numerous risks that interfered
with crisis management in response to handling COVID-19. The coordination of provincial
government was carried out with various stakeholders – local government, the army, the
police, and universities – to properly manage the crisis. These results show that the strongest
aspects of local government regulation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were control
and surveillance, while the weakest element was auditing
Case Manager as a Leader in Providing Social Support for Families and Children
Get PDFCase management as a new model started in Lithuania in 2018 after changes in the Law on the Fundamentals
of the Protection of the Rights of Child. According to Lithuanian legal documents case management is the organization and provision of comprehensive social support to the child and his/her representatives, coordinated
by the case manager in order to help overcoming social difficulties, the successful resolution of which would
prevent possible violations of child’s rights. Theoretical definitions of case management emphasize that it is a
client cantered model, and case managers exercise many functions, roles, apply various methods in order to
lead a case management process successfully. In this process case managers face many occasions to take leadership position. The goal of the presentation is to find out possible interconnections between case management
and leadership
Technology and Law: A Shift in Health Paradigm
No full textIn contemporary healthcare, the right to access scientific
advancement and its benefits has become part of the human right to health.
Scientific progress and the development of technologies serve the development
of human personality and promote respect for human rights and fundamental
freedoms, but in the area of healthcare this progress entails both benefits
and risks. Hence, technological progress – which naturally runs ahead of
law – brings new challenges, which imply the need for research to define
opportunities for the harmonious interaction of these fields in the context of
the challenges faced when regulating the interaction between new technologies
and healthcare. This article aims to demonstrate that the challenges faced
by legal regulation pertaining to the integration of new technologies into
the area of healthcare can be addressed through the concept of health as all-encompassing
human wellness. The essential characteristics of the health
and well-being paradigm are the interface between health and the dynamic
development of society, and the importance of collaboration and personal
involvement in achieving optimal health. This paradigm is a criterion for the
innovative legal regulation of new technologies into the area of healthcare
COVID-19 viruso pandemijos poveikis bakalauro studijų studentų socialiniam ir psichologiniam gyvenimui
Get PDFStudijos jaunam žmogui siejasi su savęs realizavimu akademinėje srityje, socializavimusi, platesnių
pažinčių paieška ir taip pat psichologiniu stiprėjimu, būtinybe priimti ir įveikti naujus gyvenimo iššūkius.
Pastaraisiais metais studentų gyvenimuose įvyko didelis pokytis dėl COVID-19 viruso sukeltos pandemijos.
Šia tema vykdomi tyrimai pasauliniu mastu (http://www.covidsoclab.org/). Pavyzdžiui, Global Student
Survey „Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Life of Higher Education Students” tyrimas nagrinėja
pandemijos poveikį aukštųjų mokyklų studentams pagal pagrindinius 7 aspektus: socialinės demografijos
ir akademinės savybės / charakteristikos, akademinis gyvenimas, emocinis bei socialinis gyvenimas,
gebėjimai ir galimybės mokantis iš namų, bendrosios aplinkybės ir bendri pastebėjimai. Gauti tyrimo
rezultatai atskleidžia, jog studentams vaikinams, taip pat ne visu etatu besimokantiems bakalauro studijų
pirmakursiams bei studentams iš socialinių šeimų ir trečiųjų pasaulio šalių studentams pandemija atnešė
daugiausiai sunkumų. Prasidėjus antrajai COVID-19 viruso bangai, apklausa pradėta vykdyti antrą kartą.
Tokių tyrimų rezultatai aktualūs universitetų administracijai ir visai bendruomenei, nes tai pagelbėtų
suprasti krizių pasekmes studentų psichinei sveikatai bei ieškoti efektyvių būdų, kaip sumažinti krizių
daromą žalą universiteto bendruomenei. Todėl tyrimu siekiama ištirti esamą padėtį viename iš Lietuvos
universitetų. Būtų palyginti I ir III kurso bakalauro studijų studentai, nes tikėtina, kad I kurso studentai
neturėjo tokios pat galimybės pajausti universiteto gyvenimą kaip dabartiniai III kurso studentai, kurie su
pandemija susidūrė jau po pusantrų mokslo metų universitete. Šio tyrimo tikslas – palyginti COVID-19
pandemijos įtaką I ir III kurso studentų socialiniam bei psichologiniam gyvenimui identifikuojant
problemas, su kuriomis susidūrė, ir atrastus jų sprendimo būdus
Should the European Court of Justice Develop a Political Question Doctrine?
Get PDFThis paper comparatively investigates the role of the so-called political question doctrine in contemporary adjudication. Equally hailed and criticized, the doctrine is an indirect discussion on the perennial question of the border between law and politics. Thus, this contribution firstly seeks to illustrate the idiosyncratic context in which the political question doctrine operates and to ascertain the instability of its meaning, as well as its evolving content over time. Second, this paper examines the scholarly debates that surround the existence of a political question doctrine in the practice of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), as well as the (in) desirability of an express articulation of the doctrine by the ECJ. This study is therefore imagined as an implicit comparison: the theoretical insights drawn from several common law jurisdictions inform the approach to EU law, while, in turn, the EU example is employed as a background against which to consider and revisit some of the doctrine’s limits and possibly even perils. Without attempting to provide a taxonomy of cases in which “political question” types of arguments may arise before the ECJ, this paper identifies – mostly through doctrinal study –examples of alternative strategies or concepts so far employed by the Court in order to deal with issues generally defined as “political”. Finally, this contribution weighs some of the advantages and disadvantages that the adoption of the doctrine would bring in practice, both in light of the Court’s position within the institutional system, and of the specific features of the EU’s legal construction as a whole
The 2020 amendments to the Russian Constitution and the labyrinths of constitutional jurisprudence
No full textThis article examines the 2020 amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation (1993), the process of their adoption, and their impact on the development of constitutionalism in Russia. The constitutional amendments in question were initiated by the President of Russia at the beginning of 2020, were adopted with urgency by the Russian Parliament, were subsequently approved by the “all-Russian vote”, and finally entered into force on 4 July 2020. They not only changed the content of the Russian Constitution, but also altered constitutional values, and have led to a crisis in the identity of the Russian Constitution. These constitutional amendments serve the interests of the authoritarian state and demonstrate the fate of the constitution, where the role of supreme law has been lost. While considering the erroneous path of adopting the 2020 constitutional amendments, this article is devoted to an analysis of the opinion set out in the respective conclusion of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, which assessed the process
under discussion and the content of the proposed constitutional amendments by interpreting the provisions of the Russian Constitution. This opinion created preconditions for the entry into force of the amendments to the Constitution. Thus, the main attention in the article is focused, in particular, on the assessment given by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation rather than the content of the constitutional amendments
A Qualitative Systematic Review of Living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Get PDFCC BY-NC-NDDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most severe forms of inherited muscular dystrophies, leading to limited upper limb use in its later stages. Due to medical and technological advances, patients with DMD are living longer and are reaching adolescence and adulthood. The benefits of bringing together qualitative views and studies in a systematic way include gaining a greater breadth of perspectives and a deeper understanding of health, psychological issues, and concerns from the point of view of patients, and helping the medical community and policymakers to create a better support system. This review aimed to describe the experiences of patients living with DMD in order to identify common themes across all relevant studies. The research question is: What is the lived-world experience of men with DMD? This review adopted a systematic search methodology in accordance with PRISMA guidance, and followed the SPIDER search strategy and the analytic procedure for thematic synthesis. In total, 11 studies were included in the review concerning 132 young people with DMD. In these studies, 5 main topics were identified: experiences of body powerlessness (progressive loss of body control, limited social freedom, lack of privacy); the search for identity (the meaning of becoming an adult man, feelings at the margins, maintaining normality, balancing dependence-independence); challenges in social relations (vulnerability to prejudice, risk of isolation, (in)dispensable parental support, emotional connectedness with carers, the support of others “in the same boat” with DMD); coping processes and resilience (underestimated strength, taking autonomy, toward acceptance, active self-management); and end-of-life experiences (living in the present, experiences of dying, (mis)communication with others about death and dying)
