Okoljske Strategije In Uspešnost Podjetij: Kvalitativna Primerjalna Analiza (Mehka Logika), Kaja Primc Dec 2015

Okoljske Strategije In Uspešnost Podjetij: Kvalitativna Primerjalna Analiza (Mehka Logika), Kaja Primc

Economic and Business Review

There is no single answer to the frequently asked question of how a company's proactive environmental policy affects business performance. Due to the complexity of the phenomenon under study, the interplay of the factors involved and the inadequacy of the choice of analytical methods, there are findings that are often unusable due to extremely simplified models. Drawing on the environmental management literature, the article explores the causal complexity in the relationship between environmental strategies and firm performance, helping to frame the solution to the problem more clearly. Using a sample of 25 Australian companies, the combinations of environmental practices in …

Analiza Managerskih Zaslužkov V Nejavnih Družbah V Sloveniji, Meta Genorio, Maša Madon, Sergeja Slapničar

Economic and Business Review

Although companies that are not listed on the stock exchange are the backbone of the economy, the area of executive remuneration in these companies is very poorly researched in the world and in Slovenia. Not only is little known about the factors that influence the level of managerial earnings, but also about the amount and structure of managerial earnings. Typically, unlisted companies are smaller, have a higher concentration of ownership and have a larger share of managerial ownership. Using a sample of 185 unlisted companies in Slovenia from 2013, we examined the level and structure of earnings and the factors …

“Against Interpretation”? On Global (Non-)Law, The Breaking-Up Of Homo Juridicus, And The Disappearance Of The Jurist, Luca Siliquini-Cinelli Dec 2015

“Against Interpretation”? On Global (Non-)Law, The Breaking-Up Of Homo Juridicus, And The Disappearance Of The Jurist, Luca Siliquini-Cinelli

Journal of Civil Law Studies

This paper investigates the nullification of homo juridicus and the vanishing of the jurist in relation to the liberal global-order project and the emergence and spread of soft-networked channels of post-national governance. By inquiring into the shift from the individual’s active will to the sterile behavioural schemes prompted by the universalisation of liberalism and economic analysis of social interactions, it will be argued that the jurist and the (rule of) law are no longer needed in a post-national system of rational and mechanic causations. Through an analysis of Susan Sontag’s and Josef Esser’s accounts for and against the interpretative task, …

Secundum Civilis: The Constitution As An Enlightenment Code, Derek Warden Dec 2015

Secundum Civilis: The Constitution As An Enlightenment Code, Derek Warden

Journal of Civil Law Studies

The American Constitution has been the subject of heated debate since its formation. This article simply introduces a new argument. It suggests that there exists a “form”1 of an Enlightenment era code, which is met by the Constitution, and that the requirements of this form can be derived from inspection of the three great codes of the time: the Prussian, the Austrian, and the French. It further notes that these requirements are (1) Roman law influence; (2) natural law influence; and (3) that they perform the same functions—they abrogate the prior laws on their respective subjects and they are “complete” …

Ethical Dilemma And Nihilism In Munro's "Passion", Xiying Liu, Hongbin Dai Dec 2015

Ethical Dilemma And Nihilism In Munro's "Passion", Xiying Liu, Hongbin Dai

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In their article "Ethical Dilemma and Nihilism in Munro's 'Passion'" Xiying Liu and Hongbin Dai discuss ethical issues in Alice Munro's short story "Passion." When attempting to escape the shackles of multiple ethical identities, the short story's protagonist Grace encounters dilemmas and in consequence makes wrong decisions with regard to the principle of ethics. The other protagonist of the story, Neil, commits suicide demonstrating that he breaks off all relationship with the world. Liu and Dai argue that Neil's death deconstructs Grace's ethical dilemmas and thus the narrative constructs a sense of nihilism. Liu and Dai posit that Munro's short …

Private Antitrust Enforcement: A New Era For Collective Redress?, Sofia Oliveira Pais Dec 2015

Private Antitrust Enforcement: A New Era For Collective Redress?, Sofia Oliveira Pais

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

It will be argued in this article that the EU Recommendation on common principles for collective redress might have limited impact on the field of competition law due to: several uncertainties regarding the legal standing in class actions; difficulties in their funding; and the risk of forum shopping with cross-border actions. Neverthe-less, Belgium and Great Britain have recently introduced class actions into their national legal systems and addressed some of the difficulties which other Member States were experiencing already. It will also be suggested that the Portuguese model – the ‘Popular Action’ – and recent Portuguese practice may be considered …


Harmonising Private Enforcement Of Competition Law In Central And Eastern Europe: The Effectiveness Of Legal Transplants Through Consumer Collective Actions, Katalin J. Cseres Dec 2015

Harmonising Private Enforcement Of Competition Law In Central And Eastern Europe: The Effectiveness Of Legal Transplants Through Consumer Collective Actions, Katalin J. Cseres

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The aim of this paper is to critically analyze the manner of harmonizing private enforcement in the EU. The paper examines the legal rules and, more importantly, the actual enforcement practice of collective consumer actions in EU Member States situated in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Collective actions are the key method of getting compensation for consumers who have suffered harm as a result of an anti-competitive practice. Consumer compensation has always been the core justification for the European Commission’s policy of encouraging private enforcement of competition law. In those cases where collective redress is not available to consumers, or …


Piecemeal Harmonisation Through The Damages Directive? Remarks On What Received Too Little Attention In Relation To Private Enforcement Of Eu Competition Law, Anna Piszcz Dec 2015

Piecemeal Harmonisation Through The Damages Directive? Remarks On What Received Too Little Attention In Relation To Private Enforcement Of Eu Competition Law, Anna Piszcz

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

On 11 June 2013, the European Commission adopted a package of measures to tackle the lack of an efficient and coherent private enforcement system of EU competition law in its Member States. In particular, a draft Damages Directive was proposed in order to meet the need for a sound European approach to private enforcement of EU competition law in damages actions. The Damages Directive was ultimately adopted on 26 November 2014. This paper explores some aspects of private antitrust enforcement which have not received sufficient attention from the EU decision-makers during the long preparatory and legislative works preceding the Directive. …


Access To Documents In Antitrust Litigation – Eu And Croatian Perspective, Vlatka Butorac Malnar Dec 2015

Access To Documents In Antitrust Litigation – Eu And Croatian Perspective, Vlatka Butorac Malnar

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The paper analyses access to documents in cartel-based damages cases from the EU and Croatian perspective. It considers all relevant EU and Croatian legislation and case-law primarily focusing on the expected impact of the newly enacted Damages Directive. It is argued that the new rules on access to documents provided by the Directive will not necessarily have a significant impact on damages proceedings following cartel decisions issued by the Commission. This is due to the introduction of an absolute ban on the disclosure of leniency statements and settlement submissions via a ‘maximum harmonization’ rule. This conclusion is drawn from statistic …


Collecting Evidence Through Access To Competition Authorities’ Files – Interplay Or Potential Conflicts Between Private And Public Enforcement Proceedings?, Anna Gulińska Dec 2015

Collecting Evidence Through Access To Competition Authorities’ Files – Interplay Or Potential Conflicts Between Private And Public Enforcement Proceedings?, Anna Gulińska

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

Information asymmetry between claimants seeking damages for competition law violations and the alleged infringing undertaking(s) is a key problem in the development of private antitrust enforcement because it often prevents successful actions for damages. The Damages Directive is a step forward in the facilitation of access to evidence relevant for private action claims. Its focus lies on, inter alia, 3rd party access to files in proceedings conducted by national competition authorities (NCAs). The harmonization was triggered by the inconsistencies in European case-law and yet the uniform rules on access to documents held in NCAs’ files proposed in the Damages Directive …


Antitrust Damages Actions In Ukraine: Current Situation And Perspectives, Anzhelika Gerasymenko, Nataliia Mazaraki Dec 2015

Antitrust Damages Actions In Ukraine: Current Situation And Perspectives, Anzhelika Gerasymenko, Nataliia Mazaraki

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The article gives an overview of Ukrainian legislation and experiences concerning antitrust damages actions. The analysis has led to a number of conclusions: private claims are rare in Ukraine due to difficulties in obtaining evidence, high legal costs, and lacking confidence in the Ukrainian court system. The paper gives examples of Ukrainian private antitrust enforcement practice and provides a statistical analysis of the dynamics of ‘compensated’ damages caused by antitrust infringements in Ukraine. The value of ‘compensated’ damages is compared to the value of the economic effect of stopping antitrust infringements, as well as to the value of the overall …


The Interaction Of Public And Private Enforcement Of Competition Law In Lithuania, Rimantas Antanas Stanikunas, Arunas Burinskas Dec 2015

The Interaction Of Public And Private Enforcement Of Competition Law In Lithuania, Rimantas Antanas Stanikunas, Arunas Burinskas

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

This paper provides a study of the interaction between public and private enforcement of Lithuanian antitrust law. The study refers to the Damages Directive. It has been found that private enforcement depends greatly on public enforcement of competition law. Therefore, their compatibility and balance are of great importance to antitrust policy. The Lithuanian NCA prioritises cases where an economic effect on competition does not have to be proven. This creates uncertainty about the outcome of private enforcement cases. Private enforcement in Lithuania is also in need of detailed rules on the identification of harm and causality. The analysis reveals how …

Unaccompanied & Denied: Regional Legal Framework For Unaccompanied Minors Asylum Seekers (Umas), Rohaida Nordin, Jennifer Whelan, Saidatul Nadia Abd. Aziz, Meerah Deiwi Rajagopal

Indonesia Law Review

Unaccompanied minor asylum seekers are vulnerable and thus, provided special international law protections. However, in reality, they are being mistreated as illegal immigrants and on the receiving end of ethnic violence, discrimination, restrictions in enjoyment of their rights duly recognised by international human rights law. This article identifies legislative, policy and support mechanisms which encompass the minimum UMAS guardianship standards at international law and which are evidence-based from best practice models for the provision of guardians for UMAS internationally. It presents situation of UMAS in relation to human rights violations with emphasis on the legal framework and practices in Australia …

Explaining Crimmigration In Indonesia: A Discourse Of The Fight Against People Smuggling, Irregular Migration Control, And Symbolic Criminalization, Anugerah Rizki Akbari

Indonesia Law Review

Controlling migration in the world's largest archipelago brings various challenges to Indonesian authorities that differ from other countries. The difficulties become even more complicated since Indonesia has been known as the most favorite transit country for people who want to migrate to Australia due to its strategic geographical location, which is situated between the continents of Asia and Australia and between the Pacific and Indian oceans. Following this, the decision of choosing the mechanism of criminal law to deal with irregular migration from the start leads Indonesia to its acknowledgment as a country who is vulnerable to the trend of …

Modelling And Simulation Of Surface Plasmonic Resonance In Photonic Crystal Fiber / Rifat Ahmmed Aoni, Ahmmed Aoni Rifat Dec 2015

Modelling And Simulation Of Surface Plasmonic Resonance In Photonic Crystal Fiber / Rifat Ahmmed Aoni, Ahmmed Aoni Rifat

Student Works (2010-2019)

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) refers to the coupling between the electromagnetic wave and the surface plasmonic wave (SPW) on the surface between a metal and a dielectric medium. Since last decade, the SPR behavior is widely applied in prism based SPR sensor, which is bulky and not suitable for remote monitoring applications. To overcome this limitation, photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based SPR sensor had attained great attention with the advantages of easily launching light through the fiber, small-size and design flexibility. To establish the SPR phenomena, metal deposition is necessary. Nowadays, in most of the PCF-SPR sensors, metal is selectively …
