In today's market conditions and in the context of sustainable business, the provision of social responsibility information to information consumers is important. This paper focuses on corporate ...social responsibility disclosure and its importance in communicating with stakeholders. It examines the problem of information asymmetry faced by companies and the possibility of signalling to the most powerful stakeholder groups about their involvement in social activities. The paper develops a model for the calculation of a corporate social responsibility disclosure index. Based on the developed model, an empirical study was carried out to calculate the social responsibility disclosure index of companies listed on the Nasdaq Baltic Stock Exchange. The study found that over the period 2017-2022, the total amount of disclosures increased by 14.85%. It also assessed the amount and dynamics of disclosures in individual areas (environmental, social and HR-related, human rights, corruption and bribery, and verification of the implementation of corporate processes). The CSR disclosure model developed is universal and can be used to calculate a CSR disclosure index for all non-financial companies.

"A magnificent history of money and finance."--New York Times Book Review
"Convincingly makes the case that finance is a change-maker of change-makers."--Financial Times
In the aftermath of recent ...financial crises, it's easy to see finance as a wrecking ball: something that destroys fortunes and jobs, and undermines governments and banks. InMoney Changes Everything, leading financial historian William Goetzmann argues the exact opposite-that the development of finance has made the growth of civilizations possible. Goetzmann explains that finance is a time machine, a technology that allows us to move value forward and backward through time; and that this innovation has changed the very way we think about and plan for the future. He shows how finance was present at key moments in history: driving the invention of writing in ancient Mesopotamia, spurring the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome to become great empires, determining the rise and fall of dynasties in imperial China, and underwriting the trade expeditions that led Europeans to the New World. He also demonstrates how the apparatus we associate with a modern economy-stock markets, lines of credit, complex financial products, and international trade-were repeatedly developed, forgotten, and reinvented over the course of human history.
Exploring the critical role of finance over the millennia, and around the world, Goetzmann details how wondrous financial technologies and institutions-money, bonds, banks, corporations, and more-have helped urban centers to expand and cultures to flourish. And it's not done reshaping our lives, as Goetzmann considers the challenges we face in the future, such as how to use the power of finance to care for an aging and expanding population.
Money Changes Everythingpresents a fascinating look into the way that finance has steered the course of history.
Cilj je ovoga rada analiza onih aspekata rasprave između dva suprotstavljena pristupa tumačenju vremena, A-teorije i B-teorije, koja su zaslužna za nastanak nove B-teorije. U tekstu se obrazlaže ...način na koji su implikacije A-teorije utjecale na promjene u okviru B-teorije, odnosno kako je kreiranje takozvane nove B-teorije izravna posljedica neuspjeha stare B-teorije. Uzajamni utjecaj A-teorije i B-teorije ima zanimljive posljedice i za samu A-teoriju, koju novi B-teoretičari kritiziraju zbog korištenja indeksikala u svom jeziku pa će shodno tome ovo istraživanje uključiti i kratak osvrt na ovaj problem. Nadalje, razmotrit će se i odnos novih varijanti datumske i token-refleksivne teorije, koje su izravna posljedica rasprave koja je predmet ovog istraživanja. Nakon ukazivanja na sličnosti i razlike tih pozicija, iznijet će se i kritika nove B-teorije, prema kojoj se tvrdi kako ova teorija ni u kojem slučaju ne može ponuditi ispravan opis vremena zbog svoje neusklađenosti sa semantikom prirodnoga jezika.
This article is concerned with contemporary theories of epistemological uncertainty and their ramifications for our moral lives, and more specifically with how this uncertainty undermines the ...possibilities for conceiving of, and finding assurance in, humanistic morality. First, the uncertainties brought into knowledge by poststructuralism and Luhmann’s theory of observation are examined, particularly as they relate to the issue of reconciling the double moment of morality as an at once subjective and social phenomena. Next, Habermas’s important and influential work in this area is taken as exemplifying the limits of humanistic morality; it is argued that despite his interest and importance, Habermas’s work cannot support the weight of its own moral orientation, and that this is a direct consequence of the humanist structure of his thought, which cannot be reconciled with the paradoxical nature of the relationship between the subject and the social. Finally, some possibilities for maintaining humanism’s moral orientations through uncertainty are offered, primarily through the preservation of paradox, the acceptance of partiality, and the acknowledgement of the definitively incomplete nature of moral experience.
Straipsnyje svarstoma, kaip epistemologinis neužtikrintumas, persmelkiantis mūsų dorovinį gyvenimą, užkardo galimybę suprasti humanistinę dorovę ir atrasti joje pasitikėjimo garantą. Pirmiausia analizuojama, kaip neužtikrintumo problema nušviečiama poststruktūralizmo ir Niklaso Luhmanno stebėjimo teorijose ir kaip ji sprendžiama atsižvelgiant į dvilypę dorovės – kaip subjektyvaus ir kaip socialinio fenomeno – prigimtį. Vėliau pasitelkiami Jürgeno Habermaso darbai, iliustruojantys humanistinės dorovės ribotumą.Straipsnyje teigiama, kad, nepaisant Habermaso ketinimų ir pateikiamų argumentų svarbos, jo svarstymai visgi negali pagrįsti jo asmeninės moralinės pozicijos. Taip nutinka dėl jo minčiai būdingos humanistinio mąstymo struktūros, neleidžiančios išnarplioti paradoksalaus subjekto ir socialumo santykio problemos. Straipsnio pabaigoje siūlomi keli sprendiniai, kurie, nesant užtikrintumo, įgalintų humanizmo dorovinę nuostatą. Tai galima padaryti tik pripažįstant paradoksalią dorovės prigimtį, kuri neredukuojama tik į vieną ar kitą dėmenį ir atsiskleidžia tik kaip netobula patirtis, kuriai visada bus būdingas šališkumas.
U radu se razmatra koncept ženskog i ženstvenog pisma (l’écriture feminine), njegova priroda i podrijetlo. Nastoji se nadići pojam jednakosti, ali i različitosti, odnosno binarnih (o)pozicija, ...dihotomija. Služeći se psihoanalitičkim teorijskim pristupom, kreće se od pokušaja definiranja ženskog i ženstvenog. Potom se razmatraju i opisuju karakteristike ženske i ženstvene osobnosti, odnosno ekspresije, te načini na koje ženska seksualnost prodire, odnosno izvire, u/iz prostora tekstualnog. Također, koristeći se minucioznim analizama gramatičkih kategorija, ženske i ženstvene kreativne tekstualne strategije, izlaže se teorija o uskom i nedjeljivom odnosu spolnih i jezičnih rodova. Potom se, dekonstrukcijskom metodom, dovodi u vezu jezični položaj ženskog subjekta s procesima individualizacije, identifikacije, heteroseksualizacije te biseksualnog odnosa sa stvarnošću. Ukratko, nastoji se izići iz saussureovskog koncepta jezika te ponuditi poststrukturalističko tumačenje ženskog i ženstvenog diskursa.
The paper examines the concept of female and feminine writing, its nature and origin. It strives to surpass the concept of equality but also of diversity, i.e. binary (o) positions, dichotomies. Using the psychoanalytical theoretical approach, it starts from an attemptto define the female and feminine. Furthermore, all the characteristics of female and feminine personality, i.e. expression, are considered and described, as well as the ways in which female sexuality penetrates, i.e. emerges, into/out of the textual space. Also, using meticulous analyzes of grammatical categories, female and feminine textual strategies, the theory about the narrow and indivisible relationship between sexual and linguistic genders is presented. Then, practicing the deconstruction method, the linguistic position of the female subject is connected with the processes of individualization, identification, heterosexualization and bisexual relationship with the reality. In short, trying to get out of the Saussure’s concept of language, the work offers a poststructuralist interpretation of female and feminine discourse.
U radu se sagledavaju Foucaultove analize problema državne i društvene moći iz sredine 1970-ih u kontekstu političkih i društvenih okolnosti u Francuskoj nakon zbivanja u svibnju 1968. Nasuprot ...postavci o isključivo internom metodološkom sazrijevanju, u radu se zagovara teza da su te analize mnogo više produkt svojeg doba nego što se može činiti te da su zapravo izrasle iz postavke o post-revolucionarnoj epohi u kojoj su moguće isključivo partikularne politike identiteta što će u drugoj polovici 1970-ih zagovarati Foucault.
Analitički američki filozof religije Alvin Plantinga razvio je epistemološku teoriju jamstva (warrant theory) i epistemološki model Akvinski/Calvin. Ovdje želimo predstaviti njegovu teoriju, model i ...izabrane kritičke osvrte.
The American analytic philosopher of religion Alvin Plantinga developed the epistemological warrant theory and the Aquinas/Calvin epistemological model. Here we want to present his theory, model, and selected critical reviews.
Psihološke potrebe se često navode kroz literaturu, a često se povezuju i sa nekim konstruktima kao što je sreća ili zadovoljstvo životom, ali se rijetko povezuju sa konstruktom životnog smisla. ...Gledajući kroz prizmu teorije samoodređenja, potrebe za autonomijom, kompetencijom i povezanošću su nužno povezane sa čovjekovom dobrobiti, zadovoljstvom životom i srećom. Sagledavši bitnost zadovoljenja ili frustracije osnovnih psiholoških potreba prema teoriji samoodređenja, problem ovog istraživanja je utvrditi da li su psihološke potrebe u relaciji sa životnim smislom studenata, koji je operacionaliziran preko vrijednosnog okvira i ispunjavanja vrijednosti. U uzorak je uključeno 100 ispitanika, a podaci su prikupljeni putem platforme za online anketiranje. Ispitanici su pored Upitnika sociodemografskih karakteristika, ispunili i upitnik zadovoljenja i frustracija osnovnih psiholoških potreba (Deci & Ryan, 2000), kao i Upitnik odnosa prema životu (Battista & Almond, 1973). Zaključno, posmatrajući rezultate dobivene na ovom uzorku studenata, može se reći da je regresijska analiza pokazala da zadovoljenje potreba za autonomijom, kompetencijom i frustracije potreba za kompetencijom pokazuju statističku značajnost kao prediktori životnog smisla kod studenata.
The Lithuanian syllable has not been studied comprehensively. More attention has been paid to the analysis of structural patterns of phonological syllables. The aim of this study is to identify and ...describe the characteristics of the syllable of Standard Lithuanian, to establish its structure, and syllabification regularities. The syllable is described based on constituents’ hierarchy, syllable weight, phonemic structure, sonority, and optimality theory.
From the acclaimed authors of Capitalism without Capital, r adical ideas for restoring prosperity in today's intangible economy The past two decades have witnessed sluggish economic growth, mounting ...inequality, dysfunctional competition, and a host of other ills that have left people wondering what has happened to the future they were promised. Restarting the Future reveals how these problems arise from a failure to develop the institutions demanded by an economy now reliant on intangible capital such as ideas, relationships, brands, and knowledge.In this groundbreaking and provocative book, Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake argue that the great economic disappointment of the century is the result of an incomplete transition from an economy based on physical capital, and show how the vital institutions that underpin our economy remain geared to an outmoded way of doing business. The growth of intangible investment has slowed significantly in recent years, making the world poorer, less fair, and more vulnerable to existential threats. Haskel and Westlake present exciting new ideas to help us catch up with the intangible revolution, offering a road map for how to finance businesses, improve our cities, fund more science and research, reform monetary policy, and reshape intellectual property rules for the better.Drawing on Haskel and Westlake's experience at the forefront of finance and economic policymaking, Restarting the Future sets out a host of radical but practical solutions that can lead us into the future.
