Assuring SME's Sustainable Competitiveness in the Digital Era. A Labour Policy between Minimum Wage Guaranteed and ICT Skill Mismatch
No full textThe aim of this paper is to analyze the real impact of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) skills mismatch on SME’s (small and medium enterprises) sustainable competitiveness in the presence of a guaranteed minimum wage. As part of public policies—the minimum wage needs to maintain a balance between increasing employment and not being a burden for the companies, leading them to bankruptcies, especially in times of disruptive change, in which economies have to be more resilient. The rapid progress in information and communication technologies has dramatically redefined rising unemployment as a result of skills mismatch. This paper aims to understand, on the one hand, whether there is a match between the supply demand of ICT skills, and how increasingly powerful digital technologies affect the skills, jobs, and demand for human labor. On the other hand, it aims to understand whether increasing productivity and a fair minimum wage could be an integrated approach for stimulating SME’s in increasing sustainable competitiveness
On the valuation ofconstant barrier options under spectrally one-sided exponential L&evy models and Carr’s approximation for American puts.
No full textThis paper provides a general framework for pricing options with a constant barrier under spectrally one-sided exponential L&evy model, and uses it to implement ofCarr’s approximation for the value of the American put under this model. Simple analytic approximations for the exercise boundary and option value are obtained. c 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

'In Glasgow but not quite of it’? Eastern European Jewish Immigrants in a Provincial Jewish Community from c.1890 to c.1945
No full textThis article makes use of autobiographies and oral interviews in order to explore the lifestyles of the first generation of immigrants within one particular provincial Jewish community – the Gorbals in Glasgow – between 1890 and 1945. The experience of this generation of immigrants was characterised by diversity to an extent that was not true of the second generation. Thus, the community cannot be described in terms of either ‘assimilation’ or ‘separation’. Instead, an alternative description has been coined: ‘variegated acculturation’ in order to encompass the complexity of the lives of the immigrants
Doktor Avram Josif Vinaver (1862-1915) - pionir srpske radiologije
No full textDr Abraham Joseph Vinaver (1862-1915), a Jew from Poland, was a pioneer of radiology in Serbia. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Warsaw (1887) but lived and worked in Šabac (the Kingdom of Serbia) since 1890. He procured the first X-ray machine and developed a radiological service in Šabac five years after the discovery of X-rays. These were the beginnings of radiology in Serbia. He introduced the application of artesian wells. Dr Abraham Joseph Vinaver - a Participant at the First Congress of Serbian Physicians and Naturalists, Belgrade 1904. "The Diagnostic Importance of X-rays in Lung Disease, especially in Initial Tuberculosis" and "Five Years of Treatment by X-Ray Machines" were the first works in the field of radiology in Serbia by this author. Dr Abraham Joseph Vinaver - Reserve Medical Officer in the Serbian Army. During the Balkan Wars, he was a volunteer with the rank of major engaged in military corps and he participated in the First World War as well. He died of malaria in 1915 in Gevgelija. His dedication to work during the typhus epidemics was put into verses of a poem by his son Stanislav Vinaver. Dr Avram Vinaver Joseph was a nobleman with a great heart, who selflessly sacrificed himself for the Serbian people and Serbia. He gave his contribution to the development of health services in Serbia, both in peacetime and wartime conditions. Dr Abraham Joseph Vinaver laid the foundations for today’s radiology in SerbiaDoktor Avram Josif Vinaver (1862−1915), Jevrejin iz Poljske, bio je pionir srpske radiologije. Diplomirao je na Medicinskom fakultetu u Varšavi (1887). Od 1890. godine živeo je i radio u Šapcu (Kraljevina Srbija). Nabavio je prvi rendgenski aparat i razvio radiološku službu u Šapcu, pet godina po otkriću X-zraka. Bili su to počeci radiologije u Srbiji. Uveo je u primenu arterške bunare. Dr Avram Josif Vinaver − učesnik Prvog kongresa srpskih lekara i prirodnjaka, Beograd 1904. godine. „Dijagnostička važnost Rentgenovih zrakova kod bolesti pluća, naročito kod početne tuberkuloze” i „Pet godina lečenja Rentgenovim zracima” bila su prva saopštenja iz oblasti radiologije u Srbiji ovog autora.

Identity and identification of Trogulus banaticus (Opiliones: Trogulidae) : a neglected species in the Northern Balkans
No full textTrogulus banaticus Avram, 1971 is characterised and recorded as new for Slovenia. This species was previously mistaken for T. coriziformis C. L. Koch, 1839 and T. graecus Dahl, 1903 which were later rejected from the Slovenian fauna. T. banaticus is compared with the similar, and partly sympatric, T. tingiformis C. L. Koch, 1847 with which it has often been confused. A table of distinguishing characters for both species is provided, and the ecology of T. banaticus and its general distribution are discussed
SOME ARGUMENTS THAT JUSTIFY THE AUDIT TRINITY’S APPROACH IN THE CONTEXT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to develop a synthesis of the main arguments that could justify the necessity of audit trinity’s approach (internal audit, external audit, audit committee) in assuring good corporate governance. The aim of the paper is also to synthesize relevant theoretical and empirical latest literature that argues the significance of audit functions as an important mechanism in the effective functioning of corporate governance system. From methodological point of view, the construction of this paper has adopted a normative approach, the research being primarily, based on a examination of relevant literature, with a focus on developments that have more or less implications over the progress of corporate governance issues, especially in these difficult economic context that requires urgently the adopting of effective solutions. By presenting on overview over the latest literature ad discussing the shifting demands with respect to the audit’s contribution to ensuring good corporate governance, the author of this paper hopes to stimulate further research and constructive debates in the field.Internal audit, external audit, audit committee, corporate governance, audit trinity
