Moldova – Grabbers Heaven Or the Importance of the Quality of Institutions in an Aid Recipient Country
No full textThis work is aimed to demonstrate that in poor countries with bad institutions, foreign aid may lead to a resource curse. Foreign aid which is aimed to bring growth and prosperity to the receipient countries in the majority of cases fails to fulfill its main tasks. Many empirical, croth-countires and theoretical models shows that the quality of institutions plays an important role in the economic growth of the country. Good, sound institutions leads to a sustainable economic grouth with or without a BIG Push , while bad, grabber-friendly as defined by Halvor Mehlum, institutions are biggest barriers for aid receipent countires to achieve sustainable development and prosperity for thier people. Moldova – as an aid receipent country, is a good example of a country with grabber –friendly institutions which alowed rent-seekers to steel almost1 billion USD, which costitutes almost 12% of Moldova s GDP and still be among Moldova s political elite
Organisatorisk plassering av varslingsfunksjonen i virksomheten med utgangspunktet i trelinjeforsvarsmodellen
Get PDFExecutive Master of Management i Governance: risikostyring, Compliance og intern revisjon fra Handelshøyskolen BI, 2023Oppgaven handler om et tema som står sentralt både i programmet Governance: risikostyring, compliance og internrevisjon, og mine erfaringer fra arbeidslivet nemlig organisatorisk plassering av varslingsfunksjonen i virksomheten med utgangspunktet i trelinjeforsvarsmodellen.
Et velfungerende varslingssystem gir både bedriften og samfunnet mulighet til å korrigere avvik og rette opp i uønskede forhold og er et viktig element i bedriftens virksomhetsstyring. De siste årene har den ene alvorlige varslingssaken etterfulgt den andre. Sakene har omhandlet kritikkverdige forhold i private bedrifter, frivillige organisasjoner, politiske organisasjoner og offentlige etater. Tema for prosjektoppgaven er inspirert av de siste års varslingssaker i Forsvaret, Norges Bank, Politiet og andre bedrifter i Norge og i utlandet. Det vil si de sakene som har nådd offentligheten og skapt overskrifter.
Sentralspørsmål eller hovedspørsmålet i denne oppgaven vil derfor være hvor skal varslingsfunksjonen plasseres i virksomheten og hvem har nødvendig kompetanse og myndighet for god praksis i håndtering av varslingssaker.
Oppgaven gjennomgår sentral teori om virksomhetsstyring, den klassiske trelinjeforsvarsmodellen og varslingsfunksjon med formålet å utrede den beste organisatoriske plassering for varslingsfunksjonen i virksomheten med utgangspunktet i trelinjeforsvarsmodellen. Det er gjort et case-studie der tolv respondenter som er internrevisorer, ledere, granskere og konsulenter fra både offentlige og private virksomheter med solid erfaring og kompetanse innenfor fagfeltet er intervjuet. I tillegg er det hentet erfaring fra organisasjonen undertegnede jobber i.
Jeg ønsker å takke både BI, med Flemming Ruud i spissen, for studieprogrammet og veldig bra akademisk veiledning, mine kollegaer for faglig innspill og veiledning, og min familie Kathe Maria, Knut Åge, Halvor, Kathe, Maria og Mihail for korrekturlesing og støtten
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
