Dependent and Independent social enterprises: a comparative study of organizations in international perspective

The paper is dedicated to organizational dependence – independence of social enterprises (SEs) taking into account their multifaceted nature and complex business models shaping in line with the task of solving social problems at the crossroads of market, not-for-profit activity and state regulatio

Между социальным и экономическим благом: конфликт проектов легитимации социального предпринимательства в России

Теоретической основой работы служит представление о легитимации как комплексном механизме общественного утверждения нового явления, происходящего при активном участии разных общественных групп и структур, способных оказывать влияние на его конечную форму. В фокусе анализа — представления о социальном предпринимательстве основных акторов его легитимации: государства, фондов, НКО и бизнеса в России, оценка (рас)согласованности между этими представлениями, а также их отражение в характеристиках существующих организаций социального предпринимательства (социальных предприятий). Бизнес, государство и НКО понимаются как внешние по отношению к социальным предприятиям акторы, без чьего признания не состоится их легитимация. При этом сами социальные предприятия, независимо от того про-исходят они из коммерческого или некоммерческого сектора, рассматриваются как объект легитимации, или как новый актор, не тождественный ни одному из перечисленных. Показано, что противоречия в позициях основных акторов могут вести к взаимоисключающим проектам легитимации нового явления, либо подрывать когнитивную и моральную легитимность друг друга. В работе использованы результаты проведенного авторами обследования 202 социальных предприятий

SHOULD HIGHER EDUCATION MEET THE DEMAND IN THE LABOR MARKET?

The article is devoted to the imaginary and the real challenges facing universities in connection with the problem of matching between skills of graduates and skills demanded by employers. It shows that the labor market demand is indirect, not a direct reference point for universities, and can best be satisfied if a University in its goals and curriculums is ahead of the demand in the economy and not follows it

Recurrent ovarian cancer: prolongation of the platinum-free interval with the use of a weekly treatment regimen of hycamtin (topotecan)

The efficacy and safety of intravenous topotecan (hycamtin) given in a dose of 4 mg/m2 on days of 1, 8, 15 of a 28-day cycle of its therapy were evaluated in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer (OC).Preliminary analysis of the safety and toxicity of the topotecan regimen demonstrated no impact on quality of life, easiness-to-use, and possible outpatient use. Topotecan showed to be effective as second- and higher line therapy for recurrent OC to carry out a platinum reduction

X-Ray Spectroscopy of Heterocyclic Biochemicals: Xanthine, Hypoxanthine and Caffeine

The electronic structures of the purine derivatives xanthine, hypoxanthine and caffeine have been investigated in the gas phase using C, N, and O 1s X-ray photoemission (XPS) and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. The results have been interpreted by means of ab initio calculations using the third-order algebraic-diagrammatic construction (ADC(3)) method for the one-particle Green's function and the second-order ADC method (ADC(2)) for the polarization propagator. The carbon, nitrogen and oxygen K-edge NEXAFS spectra of xanthine and caffeine are very similar, since the molecules differ only by substitution of three hydrogen atoms by methyl groups. For hypoxanthine, the electronic structure and spectra differ considerably from xanthine as the purine ring is more highly conjugated, and there is one less oxo group. Effects due to oxo-hydroxy tautomerism were not observed. However, the two oxo tautomeric forms of hypoxanthine oxo-N(9)-H and oxo-N(7)-H are populated in the gas phase, and the C 1s spectra can be simulated only by taking account of these two tautomers, with appropriate Boltzmann population ratios which we have also calculated. For xanthine and caffeine, single tautomeric forms were observed
