The Government’s Role in Promoting Corporate Responsibility: A Comparative Analysis of Italy and UK from the Relational State Perspective
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the changing role of governments promoting corporate responsibility (CR) as a result of the challenges raised by globalisation
Exact solutions to a class of stochastic generalized assignment problems
No full textThis paper deals with a stochastic Generalized Assignment Problem with recourse. Only a random subset of the given set of jobs will require to be actually processed. An assignment of each job to an agent is decided a priori, and once the demands are known, reassignments can be performed if there are overloaded agents. We construct a convex approximation of the objective function that is sharp at all feasible solutions. We then present three versions of an exact algorithm to solve this problem, based on branch and bound techniques, optimality cuts, and a special purpose lower bound. numerical results are reported.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Creació de materials didàctics en Educació per la Ciutadania global en l àmbit formal per a l' ONGD Farmacèutics Mundi a València
No full text[CA] El present Treball Final del Màster té com a objectiu d’estudi el procés que va viure l’autor del
mateix en el seu pas per la organització de Farmacèutics Mundi. Al llarg d’aquest treball es
s’exposa com ha estat el procés d’integració de l’estudiant en el projecte de la entitat i quines
han estat les experiències i dificultats viscudes.
Al llarg del treball s’explicarà tant les bases de la organització com del projecte en sí. Al ser un
projecte per a l’àrea d’Educació pel Desenvolupament de Farmacèutics Mundi, s’ubicarà
aquesta i quina és la posició que té el propi equip tècnic respecte al enfocament de l’Educació
per la Ciutadania Global.
Tan mateix, això és de rellevància doncs té una influència en els resultats finals d’aquest
projecte que son la creació d’una eina pedagògica per a centres educatius amb cursos de
formació professional, sobretot de les branques sanitària i de gènere. Aquests materials venen
a complementar els que ja existien de la primera part d’aquest projecte, que ja havia estat
aprovat per la Generalitat Valenciana amb anterioritat.
D’aquesta manera es pot avançar que el treball va fent referencia a dues parts del projecte,
doncs es un projecte que per magnitud i temporalitat es va haver de dividir en dues fases
diferenciades. L’estudiant va entrar a formar part de l’equip tècnic en el moment d’executar
les activitats de la primera part. Aquest fet facilitar la participació en el disseny i formulació de
la segona part, incloent-hi la creació dels darrers materials pedagògics per al projecte.
Per acabar hi ha una sèrie de recomanacions que es fan per ajudar en la utilització dels
materials pedagògics creats. Per altra banda també n’hi ha dirigides a l’organització i al equip
tècnic de l’àrea d’Educació pel Desenvolupament per a millorar els processos de seguiment de
les persones que estiguin fent les pràctiques curriculars a l’organització.Troiano Albareda, E. (2019).

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
The Role of Government in Corporate Social Responsibility
No full textThis paper aims to contribute to understanding of the government’s role promoting Corporate Social Responsibility as an answer to the debate that has arisen within the political and global context during the last decade. This paper: (1) sets out the research findings and the various factors governments or the academic literature consider to be key drivers behind public initiatives for fostering CSR; (2) proposes a relational framework as a model for analysing the various approaches taken by governments and looks at the various public policies that governments may adopt to foster CSR. These policies are classified by the agents involved, and in particular by their relationships; (3) explores the relationship among social, economic and environmental context and the development of CSR governmental approaches; and (4) sets out the governments’, companies’, and NGOs’ perceptions as to what role governments ought to play in fostering CSR
