Impact of Intangible Factors on Business Value

The global financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009 has caused a significant drop in business efficiency. Today’s management model of the overwhelming majority of companies is oriented towards satisfying the interests of owners and business groups, while the interests of clients, creditors, state and society are not sufficiently taken into account. This creates barriers to the growth of business value, which today has become a generally recognized indicator of the success, sustainability and investment attractiveness of companies. It is the reason for the introduction of the policy of value-oriented management of a company aimed at preserving and increasing the value of business, harmonizing the economic interests of all its stakeholder

Azimuthal patterns in planetesimal circumstellar disks

Ways of formation of azimuthal resonant patterns in circumstellar planetesimal disks with planets are considered. Our analytical estimates and massive numerical experiments show that the disk particles that initially reside in zones of low-order mean-motion resonances with the planet may eventually concentrate into potentially observable azimuthal patterns. The structuring process is rapid, usually taking ~100 orbital periods of the planet. It is found that the relative number of particles that retain their resonant position increases with decreasing the mass parameter $\mu$ (the ratio of masses of the perturbing planet and the parent star), but a significant fraction of the particle population is always removed from the disk due to accretion of the particles onto the star and planet, as well as due to their transition to highly elongated and hyperbolic orbits. Expected radio images of azimuthally structured disks are constructed. In the considered models, azimuthal patterns associated with the 2:1 and 3:2 resonances are most clearly manifested; observational manifestations of the 1:2 and 2:3 resonances are also possible.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figures.

Analysing entity context in multilingual Wikipedia to support entity-centric retrieval applications

Representation of influential entities, such as famous people and multinational corporations, on the Web can vary across languages, reflecting language-specific entity aspects as well as divergent views on these entities in different communities. A systematic analysis of language specific entity contexts can provide a better overview of the existing aspects and support entity-centric retrieval applications over multilingual Web data. An important source of cross-lingual information about influential entities is Wikipedia — an online community-created encyclopaedia — containing more than 280 language editions. In this paper we focus on the extraction and analysis of the language-specific entity contexts from different Wikipedia language editions over multilingual data. We discuss alternative ways such contexts can be built, including graph-based and article-based contexts. Furthermore, we analyse the similarities and the differences in these contexts in a case study including 80 entities and five Wikipedia language editions

In this paper we take an important step towards better understanding the existence and extent of entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia and any deviation from its targeted neutral point of view. We propose a methodology using sentiment analysis techniques to systematically extract the variations in sentiments associated with real-world entities in different language editions of Wikipedia, illustrated with a case study of five Wikipedia language editions and a set of target entities from four categories

Legal Culture of the State Law Enforcement Service in the Republic of Belarus: Activity and Value-Normative Aspects

The importance of law enforcement in all spheres of public life, as well as public administration is conditioned by the objective need to ensure law and order in society. The creation of an effective law enforcement system in Belarus is a priority area for the improvement of law enforcement in modern society. Increasing the professionalism of State law enforcement officials is designed to foster a legal culture and a positive attitude of society towards the subjects of law enforcement activities. In the context of the study of the legal culture of modern Belarusian society the actual doctrinal and practical task is to characterize the activity and value-normative basis of the state law enforcement service. The article presents the analysis of theoretical approaches and legislative practice to the designation of qualifying features of state law enforcement agencies, the allocation of their system. Law enforcement service is distinguished from other types of state service in accordance with functional and organizational criteria

Legality and Legal Order as Social Criteria of Legal Culture of Society: Theoretical Aspect

The Author proceeds from the fact that in modern political and legal realities, the most important social indicator of the legal culture of society is the state of legality, which contributes to ensuring the legal functioning of state and public institutions, guarantees of the rights and interests of the individual. The aim of the study is to analyze theoretical provisions regarding legality and law and order in the context of designating them as criteria of legal culture - signs on the basis of which it is possible to assess the formation of legal culture at the level of society.The degree of scientific elaboration of the problems of legality and legal order in the works of Russian and Belarusian jurists of the Soviet and modern periods has been determined. This made it possible to establish the generic commonality of law and order as a basic theoretical setting, which manifests itself in considering them as different sections of the ordering of social relations. Legality is investigated as a principle, method and, at the same time, a mode of state-power activity. The conditions for ensuring the legal order establish the exact and unswerving implementation of legal prescriptions by all subjects of law, which characterizes their legal culture. The theoretical model of the mechanism for ensuring the rule of law and legal order is presented through the characteristics of its social and legal content, subject composition and institutional and functional structure.The role of legal law and legal principles in ensuring the rule of law and legal order is shown. The subsystems of the institutional and functional structure of the mechanism for ensuring the latter – regulatory, state power, guarantees for the implementation of legal provisions – are analyzed. The  political, legal, organizational and scientific principles of the functioning of  the mechanism for ensuring the legal order are outlined. The following types of legal order are determined: civil, international, state (constitutional). Taken together, all types of legal order are interconnected, which reflects the universality of law as a social regulator, the importance of its principles. This  circumstance determines the legal criteria for the uniformity of legal  regulation of social relations, generally accepted international legal standards in the field of human rights.The directions of improving the legal culture of society are determined by high-quality rule-making; effective functioning of all government agencies, primarily law enforcement agencies; implementation of social and legal guarantees of legality and legal order
