Contingent Protection Measures and the Management of the Softwood Lumber Trade in North America
No full textThis article examines CanadaÂ’s softwood lumber dispute with the United States in the context of new juridical models of international dispute settlement and an evolving trade policy environment in North America. Two questions are of central importance to this study. First, what does the rise of contingent protection measures mean for CanadaÂ’s regulatory model? Strong antidumping legislation has created a new order of trade conflict at a time when intrasectoral competition has increased state support in a number of sectors. Second, how do American antidumping trade remedy measures come to bear in this dispute? In the softwood case, dispute settlement has been less effective because Canada, as the smaller economy, faces the challenge of enforcing panel decisions when the respondent has the power to avoid compliance.Antidumping, countervailing duties, dispute settlement, softwood, trade policy, WTO, International Relations/Trade,
The influence of expatriate cultural intelligence on organizational embeddedness and knowledge sharing: The moderating effects of host country context
No full textThis study advances our understanding of the contextualization of the effects of cultural intelligence (CQ). Drawing from trait activation theory and institutional theory, we develop a multi-level model showing how host countries’ informal and formal openness towards foreigners facilitate or constrain the importance of expatriates’ CQ in becoming embedded in the host organization. Furthermore, this study positions organizational embeddedness as a mediator in the association between expatriates’ CQ and a central element of expatriates’ jobs – knowledge sharing in the foreign workplace. Results from a cross-lagged survey of 1327 expatriates from 100 different nations residing in 30 host countries combined with secondary data indicate expatriate CQ relates positively to organizational embeddedness. Cross-level interaction analyses further suggest that in-group collectivism, the proxy for host countries’ informal openness towards foreigners, facilitates the importance of CQ as a predictor of expatriates’ organizational embeddedness. In contrast, CQ was not found to interact with the proxy for host countries’ formal openness towards foreigners, i.e. national immigration policies. Consistent with predictions, we identified that CQ relates positively to knowledge sharing and that organizational embeddedness carries an indirect effect. We discuss the implications for theory and practice
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
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
Atomic data for modelling fusion and astrophysical plasmas
No full textThe paper presents an integrated view of the population structure and its role in establishing the ionization state of light elements in dynamic, finite density, laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. There are four main issues, the generalized collisional-radiative picture for metastables in dynamic plasmas with Maxwellian free electrons and its particularizing to light elements, the methods of bundling and projection for manipulating the population equations, the systematic production/use of state selective fundamental collision data in the metastable resolved picture to all levels for collisonal-radiative modelling and the delivery of appropriate derived coefficients for experiment analysis. The ions of carbon, oxygen and neon are used in illustration. The practical implementation of the methods described here is part of the ADAS Project
Small but More Sustainable? Business Case and Barriers Perceptions in SMEs and Large Firms
No full textSustainability is more and more becoming a critical success factor for firms; the shared value and business case for sustainability conceptions can support business model change or innovation towards sustainable business models (SBM). Small firms are the most spread organizational model worldwide and can play a relevant role in terms of economic and social development. The corporate social responsibility literature have often depicted small business as less engaged and more constrained with respect to environmental and social practices. This paper aims to translate the organizational size debate in the field of SBM, by analyzing small and large firms’ perceptions about their drivers to business case and their implementation constraints towards a more sustainable business model
New version : G_{RASP}2K relativistic atomic structure package
No full textA revised version of Grasp2K [P. Jönsson, X. He, C. Froese Fischer, I.P. Grant, Comput. Phys. Commun.
177 (2007) 597] is presented. It supports earlier non-block and block versions of codes as well as a new
block version in which the njgraf library module [A. Bar-Shalom, M. Klapisch, Comput. Phys. Commun.
50 (1988) 375] has been replaced by the librang angular package developed by Gaigalas based on
the theory of [G. Gaigalas, Z.B. Rudzikas, C. Froese Fischer, J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Phys. 30 (1997) 3747, G.
Gaigalas, S. Fritzsche, I.P. Grant, Comput. Phys. Commun. 139 (2001) 263]. Tests have shown that errors
encountered by njgraf do not occur with the new angular package. The three versions are denoted v1,
v2, and v3, respectively. In addition, in v3, the coefficients of fractional parentage have been extended
to j = 9/2, making calculations feasible for the lanthanides and actinides. Changes in v2 include minor
improvements. For example, the new version of rci2 may be used to compute quantum electrodynamic
(QED) corrections only from selected orbitals. In v3, a new program, jj2lsj, reports the percentage
composition of the wave function in LSJ and the program rlevels has been modified to report the
configuration state function (CSF) with the largest coefficient of an LSJ expansion. The bioscl2 and
bioscl3 application programs have been modified to produce a file of transition data with one record for
each transition in the same format as in Atsp2K [C. Froese Fischer, G. Tachiev, G. Gaigalas, M.R. Godefroid,
Comput. Phys. Commun. 176 (2007) 559], which identifies each atomic state by the total energy and a
label for the CSF with the largest expansion coefficient in LSJ intermediate coupling. All versions of the
codes have been adapted for 64-bit computer architecture
