The disclosure of information about organization social responsibility in financial statements: benefits and opportunities
Authors: Budrionytė Ramunė 
Published: July 2019

One of this time distinguishing features - business and government organizations assume a greater social responsibility. Businesses and public organizations leaders have identified, that an understanding of social responsibility and social activity opens up a favourable business prospects, increase competitive advantage and, ultimately, ensures greater prestige and profits for the company. However, up to now, the concept of social responsibility is not an unambiguous assessment - this is determined by the different treatment in organizations goals.
The social responsibility measures provide multiple benefits for the organization, i.e. a more efficient use of resources, innovative abilities, a better public image, an increased motivation of employees and hence productivity, fewer disputes and strikes, easier to attract the best professionals in lower costs of the search, a lower turnover of employees, a higher acceptance of consumers. All this increases the competitive advantage of organization in the market.
In order to gain a competitive advantage for social responsibility initiatives, management of organization should provide the appropriate information about the company's activities in the field of social responsibility. The information could be provided not only in the public space (such as company web page), but also in the company‘s explanatory notes and (or) in the annual notification. In order to avoid the information chaos, it should be structured according to the following social responsibility assessment areas: 1) environment, 2) human resources, 3) social activities, 4) product development.

Authors: Petraškaitė Vytautė , Rudžionienė Kristina 
Published: July 2019

Development of Corporate social responsibility (CSR) companies tend to disclose CSR information in annual, environmental protection, social responsibility reports and website. In Lithuania presentation of CSR is not necessary, but every year more companies disclose social information. One of CSR disclosure ways is the Internet.
Purpose of this article - to investigate the level of CSR disclosure which is presented in the financial information on the Internet.
Results show that firms in High-Profile environmentally sensitive industries tend to disclose more CSR information than those in Low-Profile environmentally sensitive industries. The results also indicated that the content, level disclosed on the internet are quite different. Only the little number of companies disclose their information of CSR on the internet.
The use of the farm accountancy data network for estimation of the optimal family farm size according to the microeconomic theory
Authors: Baležentis Tomas , Valkauskas Romualdas 
Published: July 2019

Benchmarking of the economic subjects—viz. enterprises, organizations, regions—usually involves assessment of the efficiency. Suchlike analyses are not only important in the private sector, but also in the public one for public agencies are usually funded by public funds and thus need to be effective. Indeed, the private (business) subjects are sometimes also operating under the environment requiring appropriate regulation based on benchmarking. This is the case for the agricultural sector which receives voluminous public support as direct payments and rural development measures. On the other hand, the efficiency of agricultural sector impacts the prices of agricultural products as well as factor markets. Therefore, it is important to measure the efficiency of agricultural sector as an outcome of the effectiveness of the agricultural policy. The scale efficiency constitutes one of the components of the gross technical efficiency.
The latter measure is related to the farm size and farm structure in general. Furthermore, the optimal farm size is a key issue for the agricultural policy and thus is often influenced by the legal regulations. This paper aims at identifying the optimal scale size for Lithuanian family farms. The paper discusses the neoclassical methodology for analysis of the scale efficiency.
The results indicate that the optimal farm size depends on the farming type. Nevertheless, the current maximum limit of land area (i. e. 500 ha) has not been exceeded by any farming type.

Authors: Kahlmeyer-Mertens Roberto Saraiva 
Published: July 2019

Este estudo oferece uma interpretação filosófica dos conceitos de memória e confissão, a partir da obra Coniissões de Agostinho. Estes conceitos são abordados com relação a outros temas importantes do pensamento de Agostinho, como, por exemplo, a teoria da iluminação, a prova noológica da existência de Deus e a concepção de Deus como fundamento da totalidade dos entes.
EVOLUÇÃO DA DOUTRINA ÉTICO-MORAL AGOSTINIANA EM RELAÇÃO A SEXUALIDADE
Authors: Nunes Costa Marcos Roberto 
Published: July 2019

A evolução da doutrina ético-sexual de Agostinho se encontra na polêmica com os maniqueus e os pelagianos, especificamente quando trata da questão do matrimônio. Agostinho defende o matrimônio como um bem ontológico, fundamentado em três finalidades: procriação, fidelidade e indissolubilidade. Em relação ao primeiro item, o pensamento de Agostinho assume, progressivamente, quatro posições, que serão descritas neste estudo. Em relação aos dois últimos itens, não houve evolução no pensamento de pensamento: ele não admite a quebra da fidelidade e/ou da indissolubilidade do matrimônio.

MARGUERITE PORETE, UM CORPO QUE SE FEZ ESPELHO DE DEUS - Estudo sobre o problema da inacessibilidade do transcendente e do ideal de inalterabilidade na obra mística de Marguerite Porete: Le miroir des âmes simples e anéanties
Authors: Mariani Ceci Baptista 
Published: July 2019

Este estudo aprofunda o sentido da experiência relatada por Marguerite Porete, mistica medieval, condenada como herética e queimada em 1310, acusada de ultrapassar e transcender as Escrituras, errar nos artigos da fé e dossacramentos e dizer palavras contrárias e prejudiciais. No entanto, ela traz uma contribuição importante para o pensamento filosófico-teológico e literário, na medida em que levanta questões e articula respostas sobre o problema da inacessibilidade do transcendente. O aniquilamento é o seu tema, perigoso para um tempo em que o ideal era a salvação de si próprio, perigoso também parao tempo atual, fundado no humanismo e, nessa medida, detido no eu.
Expression of <i>Oryza sativa</i> galactinol synthase gene in maize (Zea may L.)

Published: July 2019

Galactinol synthase (GolS) is a key biological catalyst for the synthesis of the raffinose oligosaccharides (RFOs) which play important roles in abiotic stress adaptation of plants, especially drought tolerance. GolS gene has been isolated on a variety of plants in order to create material resources for generating transgenic plants resistant to adverse environmental factors. In our previous research, we have isolated a GolS gene from drought stress cDNA library of Oryza sativa L. Moctuyen (named OsGolS). In this study, the expression vector pCAM-Rd/OsGolS carrying the isolated OsGolS gene under the control of stress-inducible Rd29A promoter was constructed and introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404, which was used for maize transformation. PCR and Real-time PCR assay indicated that transgene was integrated in the genome of the regenerated Zea mays plants. Reverse transcription-PCR showed that the OsGolS was transcribed into mRNA in Zea mays and was highly expressed. These results provide a basis for the study of the function of OsGolS in drought responses and for the development of drought stress tolerant crops.

Published: July 2019

Expression of microbial target genes in Escherichia coli is broadly used due to its advantages namely: well established system, easy to manipulate, a huge biomass, high level productivity, safe and inexpensive to grow. Metagenomic technique has been applying in Vietnam recently for effective mining of uncultured gene resources, especially in endemic mini-ecologies such as hot springs where the cell densities are low. DNA metagenome of Binh Chau hot spring was isolated and sequenced by Illumia HiseqTM. Based on analyses of databases of cellulase-encoded genes, denovogenes 18736 gene sequence for thermal endoglucanase was selected for expression in E. coli. In this paper, some factors for expression of endoglucanase have been investigated. The results show that appropriate gene expression conditions are: Expression performed in E. coli C43 (DE3) on TB medium at 30oC with 0.25 mM of IPTG as inducer, the culture volume of 20% compared with the bottle volume and the expression time is 42–48 hours. In this condition, the biomass production and soluble enzyme activity can reached up to 5.54–5.58 g /L and 1.92–1.98 U/mL, respectively. Our results show the prospect of exploiting microbial genes without culture.

Published: July 2019

Some extracts of medicinal plants have demonstrated potential benefits in treatment of different diseases for centuries such as antihyperglycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of extracts from several herbal plants, such as Gymnema sylvestre, Stevia rebaudiana, Cinnamomum cassia, Zea may, Ocimum basilicumon blood glucose level in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic miceand to offer scientific proofs for the identified antihyperglycemic effect by investigating on mechanismsof the most effective extract. The results proved that diabetic mice treated with 70% ethanol extracts of Gymnema sylvestre leaves and Stevia rebaudiana leaves showed significant reduction of the blood glucose levels at a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight when compared to control (p<0,05). Antihyperglycemic activity of Gymnema sylvestre (57,68%) and Stevia rebaudiana extracts (54,93%) were significantly higher than other extracts. The inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity of Gymnema sylvestreand, Stevia rebaudiana extracts were carried out in vitro. The result demonstrated that these Gymnema sylvestre and Stevia rebaudiana extracts exerted significant inhibition and specific on intestinal α-amylase and α-glucosidases activities. Using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay showed that Gymnema sylvestre and Stevia rebaudiana extracts exhibited relatively low antioxidant activity with the concentration of a sample required for 50% scavenging of the DPPH free radical of 115,88 ± 1,16 µg/ml and 160,27 ± 2,01 µg/mlcompared to vitamin C (49,16 ± 1,26 µg/ml).
Long-Term Outcomes after Acute Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients: An ANZDATA Analysis
Authors: Clayton Philip A. , McDonald Stephen P. , Russ Graeme R. , Chadban Steven J. 
Published: July 2019

Significance Statement
Declining rates of acute rejection (AR) and the very high rate of 1-year graft survival among patients with AR has led some clinicians and researchers to reconsider the importance of AR as a primary outcome in clinical trials or in patients. The authors examine the association of AR within 6 months of kidney transplant with long-term outcomes of transplant recipients, using data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry between 1997 and 2017. Recipients with early AR were more likely to experience graft loss attributed to chronic allograft nephropathy (hazard ratio [HR], 1.39; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.23 to 1.56) and recurrent AR (HR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.39 to 2.46). Recipients with early AR were also more likely to die from cardiovascular disease (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.53) or cancer (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.64). AR therefore remains an important short-term outcome in kidney transplantation with significant long-term effects.

Background
Declining rates of acute rejection (AR) and the high rate of 1-year graft survival among patients with AR have prompted re-examination of AR as an outcome in the clinic and in trials. Yet AR and its treatment may directly or indirectly affect longer-term outcomes for kidney transplant recipients.

Methods
To understand the long-term effect of AR on outcomes, we analyzed data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry, including 13,614 recipients of a primary kidney-only transplant between 1997 and 2017 with at least 6 months of graft function. The associations between AR within 6 months post-transplant and subsequent cause-specific graft loss and death were determined using Cox models adjusted for baseline donor, recipient, and transplant characteristics.

Results
AR occurred in 2906 recipients (21.4%) and was associated with graft loss attributed to chronic allograft nephropathy (hazard ratio [HR], 1.39; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.23 to 1.56) and recurrent AR beyond month 6 (HR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.39 to 2.46). Early AR was also associated with death with a functioning graft (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.36), and with death due to cardiovascular disease (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.53) and cancer (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.64). Sensitivity analyses restricted to subgroups with either biopsy-proven, antibody-mediated, or vascular rejection, or stratified by treatment response produced similar results.

Conclusions
AR is associated with increased risks of longer-term graft failure and death, particularly death from cardiovascular disease and cancer. The results suggest AR remains an important short-term outcome to monitor in kidney transplantation and clinical trials.
La possibilité du monde : fictions critiques et réalisme adressé dans le contemporain français
Authors: Kieffer Morgane 
Published: July 2019

Cet article se concentre sur la dimension critique de la fiction contemporaine réaliste, portée notamment par une pratique de l’adresse qui s’inscrit dans un paradigme de l’implication politique. On entend ici l’implication comme régime littéraire du « souci du social » (Harry Frankfurt), où la politique fait place au politique (Jacques Rancière). Il s’agit alors de montrer comment se négocie la représentation réaliste entre tentation du surplomb et fragmentation du discours, puis de mesurer la portée critique d’un tel projet tant au sein de la représenta­tion qu’au niveau de la réception qu’il programme. On parlerait alors d’un réalisme adressé, qui ne trouverait son aboutissement qu’à la condition d’une lecture empathique. This article focuses on the critical dimension of contemporary realist fiction, particularly visible in the way it calls to its reader through a rhetoric of interpellation, analysed here as a feature of what critics have called ‘littérature impliquée’ (involved literature). The contemporary involvement of literature in politics is deeply rooted in a broader conception of social responsibility, as explained by philosophers Harry Frankfurt and Jacques Rancière. Here, we investigate the ways realism evolves in the contemporary, tempted by a desire for exhaustivity and global knowledge while also bringing attention to the depiction of details and the everyday life. In the context of the widely diagnosed ‘ethical turn’ in contemporary literature, realism could thus be considered a directed aesthetic, searching for empathetic readership.
Micropolitique littéraire : l'éthique relationnelle mise en oeuvre dans Raffut de Philippe De Jonckheere
Authors: Lahouste Corentin 
Published: July 2019

Cette contribution vise à montrer comment Raffut, roman de Philippe De Jonckheere publié en 2018, est un texte profondément politique qui met en lumière, tout en finesse et à travers l’éthique relationnelle qu’il déploie, les enjeux individuels et collectifs de l’ébranlement des certitudes, de la prise de recul sereine, de la non-simplification, de l’écoute ou encore de l’importance à accorder aux détails et nuances mais aussi à la bienveillance et à la compas­sion. Il s’agit ainsi de souligner la micropolitique processuelle que dispose et élabore le ro­man, notamment par le type de narration qu’il met en œuvre de même que par l’implication sensible dont il témoigne. This contribution aims to show how Raffut, Philippe De Jonckheere’s novel that was published in 2018, is a profoundly political text that highlights, with finesse and through the relational ethics it deploys, the individual and collective issues of the shaking of certainties, of the serene step back, of the non-simplification and the listening, or of the importance to give attention to details and nuances, but also to benevolence and compassion. We underline the processual micropolitics that the novel elaborates, particularly through the type of narrative implemented as well as the sensitive involvement it testifies.
#Mots-dièse et écritures de soi : essai sur un activisme contemporain
Authors: Baroud Rana 
Published: July 2019

Loin des pamphlets, des manifestes, des grands essais, discours et manifestations, l’engage­ment de certains écrivains français contemporains prend de nouvelles formes et res­semble parfois à celui des internautes qui, en se dévoilant, se montrent solidaires les uns en­vers les autres. En divulguant leur intimité et en partageant leurs propres peines et crises exis­ten­tielles, des auteurs comme Annie Ernaux, Rachida Yacoubi et Christine Angot contribuent implicitement à transformer le monde et à semer des idées. Leurs écritures intimes, leurs romans auto­biographiques et leurs autofictions ne seraient-ils pas la transcription littéraire, subtile et consistante des désormais célèbres mots-dièse #MoiAussi, #JeSuis, etc. ? Dans cet article, nous considérons de plus près cette forme singulière d’écriture impliquée et la façon dont elle génère (ou pas) des lectures impliquées. Instead of pamphlets, manifestos, essays or speeches and manifestations, the engagement of some contemporary French authors takes on new forms and resembles that of Internet users who, by revealing themselves, show solidarity with each other. By revealing their intimacy and sharing their own sorrows and own existential crises, authors such as Annie Ernaux and Rachida Yacoubi implicitly contribute to transforming the world and sowing ideas. Could it not be said that their intimate writing, their autobiographical novels and their works of autofiction are subtle and consistent literary transcriptions of the use of hashtags like #MeToo and #IAm? In this article, we take a closer look at this particular form of involved literature and how it does (or does not) generate acts of involved reading.
Modelo de educación en energías renovables desde el compromiso público y la actitud energética
Authors: Ballesteros-Ballesteros Vladimir Alfonso , Gallego-Torres Adriana Patricia 
Published: July 2019

La crisis energética actual del planeta, es una realidad a lo que no podemos hacer la vista gorda. Ahora más que en otras épocas se agudizan los problemas energéticos, derivados producción, transformación, distribución y consumo de la energía que conllevó al evidente el agotamiento de los combustibles de origen fósil, a los problemas ambientales generados por la explotación, transporte y uso de los recursos naturales, el cambio climático, la contaminación, entre otros. El trabajo que aquí presentamos, tiene la intención principal de proponer un modelo conceptual basado en una construcción teórica a partir de una metodología mixta de análisis documental, desde la formulación de tres categorías: la educación en energías renovables (EER), el compromiso público (CP) y la conceptualización elaborada por nuestro equipo sobre actitud energética (AE); todo esto sumado a las necesarias interacciones que se generan desde la democracia participativa y la construcción social comunitaria que pretende involucrar a la sociedad como estructura principal y no como un fin.
En segundo lugar, la importancia de contribuir al desarrollo del campo de investigación de la Educación en Energías Renovables, a razón de las discusiones que actualmente se plantean frente a la falta de responsabilidad social energética y el desinterés por el uso de energías alternativas como estrategia de reducción de los problemas ambientales del contexto; por último, la necesidad de formular nuevos caminos para la implementación del uso de las energías renovables por parte de la ciudadanía con la intencionalidad de mitigar los problemas derivados de un desarrollo desmedido de la ciencia y la tecnología problemática que se ha ido en las últimas décadas.
