Is There a risk of Greenwashing in the application of the EU SFDR in the SRI Fund Industry? Some critical issues.
No full textThe present research has the aim to analyze the effects that the new European legislation is having on the sustainable investment market in order to evaluate whether the predisposed goals can be said to be achieved or not. In particular, the author wants to analyze the impact of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (2019/2088 EU), known as SFDR, on the SRI Fund Industry, considering that interpretative difficulties have arisen in the SRI market with the introduction of SFDR. The analysis shows that critical issues in the implementation of SFDR reside not so much in its disclosure obligations, but upstream, in the definition of sustainable investmentand in its product classification (as Article 6, Article 8 and Article 9) that lead to a situation characterized by an excessive subjectivity by asset managers of SRI Funds when they are called to qualify the products they offer. Because of the consequent risk of greenwashing in SFDR application, the necessity of its urgent adjustment can be pointed out and the work presents in its final part the indication of some policy recommendations to policymakers drafted by Eurosif just to realize these necessary adjustments of the EU regulation
Local governance as a tool for city council in turkey
No full textBu çalışma, 21-22 Mart 2010 tarihleri arasında Rabat[Fas]’da düzenlenen 38. International Scientific Conference on Economic and Social Development’da bildiri olarak sunulmuştur.The city councils that entered the Turkish Local Governments Act with the Municipal Law Number 5393 dated 2005 is defined as the "partnership model" that carries the cities to the sustainable future in the integrity of the principles of "claiming ownership of the city", "active participation", and partnership in the solution". It provides the generalization of the democratic participation at the local level, the development of citizenship consciousness, the adoption of multi-actor and multi-partner management style. The general function of the city councils of structures and the working methods differ from one city to another is enabling a common mind embracing the entire city by bringing together the "all sharers" in the city. The Municipal Law Number 5393 dated 2005 has brought the "city councils" application with the Article 76 in order to enable the non-governmental organizations, the professional associations and other in the decisions and implementations in accordance with the governance approach. In accordance with this law The City Councils Regulation has entered in to force which was published in 2006 and amended in 2009. Thus, the city councils model became an obligation for the municipalities in Turkey. But today, in many of the cities either the city councils have not been established or have been unable to effectively fulfill the tasks specified in the Article 76 of the Municipal Law and City Council Regulation. In the Article 4 of the City Councils Regulation the city council is defined as: governance mechanisms with democratic structures where the central government, the local government, professional organizations in the nature of public institutions, and the civil society meet with the understanding of partnership, within the framework of citizenship law; where development priorities, problems visions of the city are determined, discussed, solutions developed on the basis of sustainable development principles, and where common mind and compromise is essential.Varazdin Dev & Entrepreneurship AgcyUniv N, FacUniv Warsaw, Fac ManagementMohammed V Univ Rabat, Fac Law Econ & Social Sci Sal
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
