Imbalance relationships and sustainable supply chain

W artykule podjęto problem nierównowagi relacji w kształtowaniu zrównoważonego łańcucha dostaw (SSC). Analiza relacji kupujący-dostawca została przeprowadzona z wykorzystaniem analizy studium przypadku łańcuchów dostaw branży spożywczej. Wykazała ona, że występująca przewaga wymusza osiąganie zgodności z wymaganiami rozwoju zrównoważonego (SD). Cele i inicjatywy SD są określane w sposób arbitralny, a ich koszty oraz ryzyko przerzucane na dostawców. Z perspektywy zarządzania organizacjami praca przyczynia się do lepszego zrozumienia wpływu nierównowagi na wdrażanie rozwoju zrównoważonego.The paper is concerned with the problem of imbalance in supply chain relations in the forming of a sustainable supply chain. Analysis of the purchaser-supplier relationship is conducted with the use of the case study method. It shows that the presence of an advantage enforces compliance with the requirements of sustainable development. The objectives and initiatives of SD are determined in an arbitrary way, but their costs and risks are transferred to suppliers. From a management perspective, the paper contributes to a better understanding of the influence of imbalance on implementing sustainable [email protected]ł Ekonomiczny, Uniwersytet Marii Curie-SkłodowskiejAlvarez G., Pilbeam C., Wilding R., 2010, Nestle Nespresso AAA sustainable quality program: An investigation into the governance dynamics in a multi-stakeholder supply chain network, “Supply Chain Management: An International Journal”, 15 (2).Andersen M., Skjoett-Larsen T., 2009, Corporate social responsibility in global supply chains, “Supply Chain Management: An International Journal”, 14 (2).Barratt M., Choi T.

Liturgical function and Gregorian chant in the music of Paulus Bucenus

Paulus Bucenus after studies in Greifswald and few years spent in Toruń moved to Riga where he was the school cantor till the end of his life in 1586. He composed almost exclusively sacred music. His Passio Domini nostri Jesu Christi was published in Szczecin in 1578 and 155 other compositions are preserved in the uncomplete manuscript prepared by him in Riga (D-B 40074). Among his works there are masses, motets, hymns, responsories, magnificats. Chant melodies are clearly recognizable in a number of compositions. In hymns they are often used in long values in discantus. In the Passio and some motets quasi-reciting tone is evident. Sometimes chant melodies used in very long values contrast with other voices ornamentally structured

Stockholm manuscript S 230 and its Prussian context

The manuscript S 230, held in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm, has not been thoroughly investigated until now. The only extant partbook of the source contains thirty two works, comprising motets and German songs. Only four of them bear the composers’ names: Orlande de Lassus, Franciscus de Rivulo, Johannes de Vienna and Joachim a Burck. Among the composers of anonymous works to have been identified are Jacob Bultel, Jacobus Clemens non Papa, Arnold Feys, Nicolas Gombert, Josquin des Prez and Jacob Meiland, as well as Lassus and Rivulo. At least two works are unique to this source: Rivulo’s A Domino egressa est res ista and Vienna’s Wohl dem, der den Herrenfiirchtet. The text of Rivulo’s motet is taken from the non-Vulgate version of the Book of Genesis, and the only other composer to write music to these words was Johannes Wanning, who succeeded Rivulo as magister chori musici at the Marian church in Gdańsk in 1569, five years after the latter’s death. Johannes de Vienna was composer at the Königsberg court in 1564-1568 and 1571 1576. The work from the Stockholm manuscript is his only extant composition. Two motets from the Swedish collection also appear in the Prussian manuscript J 40 24-28, held in the Copernican Library in Toruń: the anonymous Non est bonum and Rivulo’s Nuptiaefactae sunt

Immunoreactivity of chemically cross-linked gluten and hydrolysates of wheat flour

The immunoreactivity of gluten and wheat flour proteins crosslinked with chosen chemical reagents was investigated. Native proteins and flour hydrolysates subject to enzymatic proteolysis with collagenase and subtilisin were studied. Determination of immunoreactivity was performed with noncompetitive ELISA method with coeliac patients' sera. The lowest immunoreactivity values were obtained during cross-linking of wheat flour hydrolyzates with polyethyleneimine, below 5% of the values for nonmodified flour

Application of SD Indicators in Supply Chain

Zrównoważony łańcuch dostaw polega na współpracy w wytwarzaniu i dostarczaniu produktów w celu maksymalizacji dochodów, przy jednoczesnym minimalizowaniu wpływów środowiskowych i maksymalizowaniu dobrobytu społecznego. W artykule zaprezentowano mierniki rozwoju zrównoważonego, stosowane w łańcuchach dostaw 10 dużych przedsiębiorstw. Punkt odniesienia stanowiły raporty rozwoju zrównoważonego bądź raporty społeczne. Odwołując się do wyników case study oraz wytycznych GRI, zestawiono wskaźniki zrównoważonego rozwoju możliwe do stosowania w ramach łańcucha dostaw.The paper presents a framework for sustainable supply chain management and performance measures. The sustainable development indicators that can be applied in a supply chain are discussed. Recognising the importance of reliable performance measures for the maintenance of sustainable supply chain practices, the author has also included 10 case studies describing the experience of organisations in setting sustainable supply chain metrics.Praca powstała w ramach projektu NCN „Adaptacja przedsiębiorstw krajowych do zmian klimatycznych w świetle założeń polityki ograniczania emisji”.Agnieszka Leszczyńska: [email protected] hab.

The utility of polygraph examinations in treatment and supervision of sex offenders

W artykule przedstawiono współczesne możliwości i użyteczność badań poligraficznych w terapii i nadzorze osób, które popełniły przestępstwa seksualne, a następnie zostały skazane i są pod nadzorem. Badania poligraficzne wobec osób skazanych za popełnienie przestępstw na tle seksualnym to cztery główne typy testów: badanie konkretnego problemu czy zarzutu, badanie przeszłości seksualnej, badanie monitorujące występowanie zachowań ryzykownych oraz badanie „zachowywania się” badanego w okresie nadzoru. Jest naukowo udowodnione, że badania poligraficzne przyczyniają się do lepszej ochrony ofiar i zapobiegania przyszłej wiktymizacji. Przestępcy seksualni ujawniają więcej informacji dotyczących ich historii seksualnej, a także ich przyszłe zachowanie jest bardziej przewidywalne pomiędzy okresowymi badaniami poligraficznymi. W artykule przedstawiono przykłady praktycznego wykorzystania poligrafu w Stanach Zjednoczonych i Wielkiej Brytanii. Stosując tę metodę, otrzymuje się wyniki prowadzące do lepszego zarządzania ryzykiem i zmniejszenia recydywy. Autor zachęca zatem do dokonania pewnych zmian legislacyjnych w polskim kodeksie karnym, tak aby badania poligraficzne w ramach nadzoru przestępców seksualnych mogły być powszechnie stosowane również w Polsce.The article presents contemporary capabilities and usefulness of polygraph instrument in therapy and supervision of the specific group of criminals who committed sex offenses, then were convicted and put on probation. There are four main types of sex offenders polygraph testing: specific issue testing, sexual history disclosure, maintenance and monitoring examinations. It is scientifically proved that polygraph examinations improve the protection of victims and the prevention of future victimization. Sex offenders make more disclosures regarding their sexual history and also their future behaviour is more predictable between periodic examinations. Examples of researches and practical usage of polygraph in the United States and Great Britain were provided. Applying this method results in better risk management and reduces recidivism. The author therefore encourages to make some legislative changes in Polish penal code so that polygraph procedures in sex offenders supervision could be widely implemented in Poland
