HOW SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISES CAN DRIVE THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFThe aim of the paper is to analyze the role of companies as driver of
sustainable development and respect for fundamental workers' rights. Trade
policies and agreements can have wide-ranging effects on the economy,
employment, labour standards, social cohesion, and the environment,
including policy development and regulatory aspects. Nowadays the countries
are closely tied to one another through trade and investment. This creates a
common interest in a well-balanced world economy and properly functioning
global system of trade. Thus, the EU wants to ensure that its trade actions are
supportive of sustainable development within the EU, in the partner countries,
and globally. The sustainability with its economic, social and environmental
dimension in all relevant policies is a basic objective set out in the Treaty on
the European Union, both as regards the EU's internal policies and external
action. Respect for fundamental workers' rights and for environmental
protection requirements should be ensured in a context of trade and economic
expansion: the jobs created by open trade shall reflect international core labor
standards and increased trade flows shall help the rapid spread of green goods,
services and technologies around the world. The research presents three case
studies on the CSR policy: Nike, Apple and Walmart. These multinationals
have been involved in social and environment conflicts. The article researched
how companies solved these conflicts and what changes they made in the
sustainable policy in relation to those conflicts

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development identifies a recognized connection between the contribution of migration to the achievement of sustainable development and adequate governance policies can lead to benefits in the development of both the countries of origin and those of destination
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
