Abstract

Cette proposition s'inscrit dans le débat sur la perception des dirigeants d'entreprises, notamment les PME, concernant lathématique de la responsabilité sociale et les enjeux environnementaux qui les accompagnent ou qui en résultent. Nous proposons iciune approche cognitive de la responsabilité sociale, approche que nous illustrons à travers la représentation de deux cartes cognitivesde dirigeants de PME algériennes. L’approche cognitiviste considère le système comme un ensemble de représentations individuelles etcollectives qu’il y a lieu d’identifier et de soumettre à des analyses minutieuses. Dans cette approche, les dirigeants sont considéréscomme des acteurs qui construisent leurs propres représentations du système. De ce fait, la perception de l’environnement par lesdirigeants -principaux acteurs du système entreprise- est considérée comme un facteur déterminant du diagnostic de la situation etéventuellement un outil décisionnel non négligeable. Autrement dit, de ces perceptions dépendent le diagnostic ou la formulation desproblèmes et les solutions qu’il y a lieu d’apporter concernant la problématique de responsabilité sociale des PME en Algérie.

Abstract

Albania's economy has improved substantially over recent years and has outperformed many other countries in the region.However, it is still considered one of the poorest countries in Europe. According to the Bank of Albania, per capita income was $4,070 in2009, and was expected to reach $4,200 in 2010. According to preliminary data by the World Bank's Poverty Assessment Program,12.4% of the population lived below the poverty line in 2008, marking a considerable improvement from 25.4% in 2002; this decline inpoverty levels was due mainly to higher per capita GDP. The official unemployment rate is 13.52%, with almost 60% of the workforceemployed in the agricultural sector, although the construction and service industries have been expanding recently. Albania is open toforeign investment and increasing FDI is a top priority for the Albanian government. Albania has put in place a liberal foreign investmentregime, including a 10 percent flat corporate and income tax and has taken measures to improve the business climate by streamliningbusiness procedures through e-government reforms. These improvements along with NATO membership and progress toward EUintegration have contributed to the increase in investor interest during the last couple of years. Promising sectors for foreign investorsand include: energy (including alternative energies), mining, transportation, telecommunications, and tourism. Tourism has been boostedsignificantly by ethnic Albanian tourists from throughout the Balkans. GDP is comprised of services, including trade, hotels andrestaurants (21%), transport (5.5%), and communication (4.5%) agriculture (19%); construction (14%); industry (10%) and remittances(9%). The Albanian economy has been partially sheltered from the global financial crisis and the economic downturn. The InternationalMonetary Fund (IMF) projects growth at 3.4% and 3.6% for 2011 and 2012 respectively. A reduction in remittances from Albanianworkers abroad has constrained economic activity, although exports grew in 2010. The country’s geographic position places it at thecrossroads of Western and Eastern Europe. A stable U.S. ally, Albania is a member of NATO, the WTO and is in the process of applyingfor candidate status in the European Union. During the global financial crisis, bank deposits shrank considerably and lower liquiditypushed commercial banks to tighten lending. While current bank deposits have reportedly surpassed pre-crisis levels and bank liquidityhas improved, the demand for credit is still low. In December 2009, the growth rate of loans dropped to 10% from 35% in 2008. The lowdemand for credit continued into 2010, with the growth rate of loans slowing to 9.1% for the first 6 months of 2010. In general, thebanking sector remains viable, well capitalized, and able to further finance the economy, as the ratio of loans to deposits, approximately65%, is still low compared to Western standards.

Abstract

As a consequence of strong international immigration, Spanish statistical data offer the possibility to distinguish betweenpatterns of migration for both natives and foreigners. The objective of this paper is to determine the difference in patterns between thesetwo categories as regards their migration within Spanish borders. The period of analysis is mainly 2003-2010, the level of aggregation isNUTS 3 (provincial) and the method of research is a quantitative comparative analysis. The study is divided in the following areas ofinterest: intra and inter-provincial flows; gross and net migration; migration by sex, by age, by source/destination size, and by nationality.Also, I try to find out if migrants are more attracted by leading provinces and if the hypothesis of social networking for foreign-bornmigrants is confirmed. The main results reveal: a greater propensity of foreign-born migrants to make long-distance movements; grossmigration rates of foreigners much higher than natives´; both natives and foreigners (more) are attracted by prosperous provinces;foreign out-migrants are less willing to leave provinces with high concentration of foreign-born population while foreign in-migrants prefersuch provinces, i.e. social networking is true; foreign males migrate more than foreign females while the difference between Spanishsexes is rather inexistent; foreigners and Spaniards have also different age propensities to migration, although with some similarities;Spaniards and foreigners also differ when referring to the size of the province they come/go from/to. And finally, the paper makes aranking of migration by groups of nationality.

Abstract

Political discourse studies have analyzed the context and the way that personal pronouns and possessive pronouns are usedby politicians and how they maintain their stance through their conversations in different contexts (Van Dijk, 1997, 2002). This studyattempts to examine self-identifications that Turkish political party leaders develop through their employment of pronominal choice. Thedata come from the period before 2011 elections in Turkey. By comparing their first person singular and plural possessive pronoun usein different contexts, this paper tries to find out the factors that affect the distribution of their pronominal choice in Turkish politicaldiscourse. Within the critical discourse analysis approach, the results indicate that the location, topic, purpose and venue influence thepronominal choice of the politicians.

Abstract

In most of the countries, in these last years, pension reforms are a real challenge for the governments. There exist four maincriteria classifying and categorizing pension systems around the world: 1- Who manages the system (public / private); 2- How thecoverage is decided (Employment-related / Universal and Means-tested); 3- How benefits are calculated (defined contribution / definedbenefit); 4- How benefit are financed (PAYG / Fully Funded).This study focuses in these criteria, by comparing the public and private pension systems in general terms. A special focus is also givento the Albanian case and recommendations for the future reforms take place.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the relations between Italy and Albania during the republican government of the President AhmetZogu (1925-1928). Its approach is based on the study of the documentation, focusing on the factors that influenced the Italian diplomacytowards the Albanian state, as follows: At first, the government of Italy had economic interests in Albania, forcing the political class tomake concessions to search and exploit the oil and mineral reserves from the Italian enterprises, such as: Azienda Italiana Petrolid’Albania (AIPA), Sindaco Italiano Giacamenti Minerari Albanesi (SIGMA) etc; the Italian investments in agriculture and theestablishment in Rome of the National Bank of Albania, in March 1925. Secondly, Italy intended to exert the political influence on Albaniabecause of its strategic position in the Balkan. Rome benefited from the necessity of the President Zogu to protect his political regimeand to overcome the difficult economic situation, forcing the Albanian government to sign the First Pact of Tirana, on 27th November,1926. According to this agreement, Italy would defend the juridical, the territorial and the political status-quo of Albania against everypotential aggression. Also it imposed some restrictions on the foreign policy of Albania, menacing its sovereignty. While, the SecondPact of Tirana signed on 22nd November, 1927, was basically a defensive alliance that strengthened the Italian domination in Albania,using it as a military base for further penetration in the Balkan.Thus, the Italian diplomacy towards the Albanian state with the aim ofachieving its political and economic goals not only posed a threat to the sovereignty of Albania but also to the stability of the region.

Abstract

In public dental cabinets patients often miss their appointments which may cause dead time, resulting in material andpersonnel costs. The time lost estimated in a dental clinic from the Andalusian health service in Spain has an average of 27 minutes aday. This time is often employed in the treatment of patients who attend without an appointment, categorized as an ‘emergency’ (70patients per month in 2011, quoted time spent 38 minutes a day). 67% of these were patients who had not attended to their previousappointments. We analyzed surveys concerning patients´ satisfaction and complaints carried out in public health centers, the reasonswhy patients were attending without an appointment or for ‘emergencies’, as well as the communication channels between patient vs.dental care professional, and patient vs. appointment administration personnel. As a result, the process designed involves all theprofessionals, beginning at reception where patients will be reported concerning the way to cancel or postpone an appointment. Theincrease of the consultation time scheduled, will achieve an acceptable waiting time less than a week. Posters designed give detailedinformation with reference to office hours, how to cancel appointments, the ‘criteria’ and specific schedule for attending without anappointment. Specific schedule to attend emergencies, will take advantage to educate patients on schedule adherence, providing themwith another appointment in the shortest time possible. A design for the implementation of the communication between patients andprofessionals will improve the daily dynamics of the dental office.
