E-administration activities and sustainable management: The case for a multidimensional approach
Authors: Bouzidi Laïd , Boulesnane Sabrina 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The Information and Communication Technologies’ (ICT) integration in administration activities provides different managerial implications. The use of ICT helps public services in transforming their ‘traditional’ into more effective and sustainable management practices. The experience of e-administration implementation taking into account a ‘Sustainable management’ dimension will require the adoption of multidimensional approach based on a Human, Activity and Technological dimensions. We associate to these different dimensions a transversal level: Green or sustainable dimension. The main challenge is the implementation of systems able to guarantee to citizens, companies, administrations and international institutions the real access to these systems based on sustainable uses and practices.
Entre velléité et opiniâtreté: La création du ministère des Colonies en France (1858–1894)
Authors: d'Andurain Julie 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Even before the colonial expansion of the Third Republic, the question of forming a separate Ministry of the Colonies had already been raised. The creation of this ministry had been delayed for a long time due to the existence of an undersecretary for Colonial Affairs. The project of determining the duties and limits of a new ministry covering colonial issues in their entirety became a constitutional necessity in the early 1890s. Despite hesitations in the Senate, the parliamentary deputies of the “parti colonial” under the leadership of Eugène Etienne, the “pope of the colonialists,” organized themselves to create this indispensible ministry. However, the Ministry of Colonies appeared to be a “rump ministry” in its early years, due to the heavy influence of the “parti colonial” and the lack of a definitive settlement of the structure and role of the colonial army.
Linguistique coloniale au XIXe siècle: Le discours racialiste dans la recherche française sur les langues créoles
Authors: Krämer Philipp 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, a strong racist discourse was displayed in texts about Creole languages. Authors such as Mauritius-born Charles Baissac established explanations about the emergence of Creole languages and their specific structure, arguing that these particularities can only be seen as a result of contact between two races of different physical, mental, and social predispositions. As shown in Edward Said's “Orientalism,” scientific work in philology (and other disciplines) cannot be separated from structures of power and domination. Creole languages formed an urgent problem for colonial France as they initially emerged from the prestigious French language and yet had to be integrated into the paradigm of inferiority of colonized peoples and cultures. Linguistic descriptions of Creoles are therefore marked with a strong effort to reconcile the French heritage of these languages with the claim of domination over the community of Creole speakers.
Still, contradictions and nuances in the texts of late-nineteenth-century research on Creole languages, carried out often by native speakers who had grown up in the colonies, may help to identify statements that transport an individual view of the triangular relation between language, race, and mind. Even in its not quite institutionalized state as a discipline, early creolistics displays a remarkable degree of cross-national connections that demonstrate how difficult it is to classify philological branches along national affiliation.
Se souvenir de l'Indochine L'écriture des femmes engagées dans l'armée française, entre mémoire de guerre et récit de voyage
Authors: Jauneau Elodie 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
From 1945 to 1954, France was at war in Vietnam. Many women who enlisted in the French armed forces after 1940 joined the French Far Eastern Expedition Corps and served well beyond Europe. In 1954, the French-Vietnam war ended in a double loss for French soldiers—a personal as well as a military defeat. With more women serving in and with the military after World War II, women's memories of military service also included the testimony of veterans of the war in Indochina. Many of these women recalled their personal war experiences, sometimes immediately afterward, sometimes many years after the conflict. These memories of women at war are a previously unexplored set of sources of historical memories of the French-Vietnam war, which up to now have been produced mainly, if not exclusively, by men. This study thus shows how feminine authors in the French military expressed their views, between memories of war and travel accounts.
To “Dance with Lost Souls”: Liu Xiaobo, Charter 08, and the Contested Rhetorics of Democracy and Human Rights in China
Authors: Hartnett Stephen John 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
This essay addresses China's Nobel Peace Prize-winning and now imprisoned dissident, Liu Xiaobo, and his movement-launching manifesto, Charter 08, as test cases of the fate of democracy in China. By examining how the Chinese Communist Party attacked Liu and how international nongovernmental organizations and political allies rallied to his cause, the essay probes the limits of human rights discourse in an age of globalization, wherein transnational ideals of justice crash into nation states committed to local rather than global forms of governance. Such rhetorical concerns are tempered by China's increasing dominance of global markets, meaning this essay also studies the complicated relationships among local activists, international justice movements, and neoliberal capitalism. The essay therefore maps how China marshals the rhetoric of globalization to enter new markets even as it deploys the rhetoric of nationalism to block foreign influence. Nonetheless, Charter 08's prophetic rhetoric and Liu's heroic charisma have struck a chord internationally, thus opening a new chapter in the movement to call upon globalizing human rights in the name of building democracy in China.
“Out of Chaos Breathes Creation”: Human Agency, Mental Illness, and Conservative Arguments Locating Responsibility for the Tucson Massacre
Authors: Smith Francesca Marie , Hollihan Thomas A. 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
In this essay, we examine public responses to Jared Lee Loughner’s attempted assassination of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, focusing in particular on the rhetorical strategies employed by political conservatives. We argue that the most prominent conservative reactions either undermined the potential for reasoned debate and a cohesive narrative regarding the causes of the attack or, by emphasizing Loughner’s agency as an individual, deranged actor, painted the event in a way that failed to provide transformative redemption, foreclosed even the possibility of a rhetorically satisfying sense of justice, and preempted what could otherwise have been a rich, deliberative deployment of civility. We utilize Kenneth Burke’s dramatism in speculating about possible alternative interpretations of the situation, hopeful that such an analysis might offer both the public and the government more effective rhetorical resources for dealing with and even preventing such increasingly common tragedies. In particular, we advocate the use of a hybrid, tragicomic frame—a sort of Burkean Serenity Prayer in which we accept the things we cannot change while still finding the inspiration, strength, and wisdom to respond productively—alongside a multifaceted set of pentadic ratios to address the complex demands created by mental illness.
Facing Moloch: Barack Obama’s National Eulogies and Gun Violence
Authors: Frank David A. 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
During his first term as president, Barack Obama delivered four national eulogies at the sites of gun violence tragedies, two of which garnered considerable national attention: one delivered in Tucson, Arizona on January 12, 2011 (following the attack on Representative Gabrielle Giffords and an assembled crowd), and another in Newtown, Connecticut on December 16, 2012 (following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School). The deaths of innocents, the result of a host of causes, required the president to face the issue of gun violence, help the nation work through the trauma, and create the conditions of civility necessary for policy action. At Tucson, Obama drew from the book of Job to explain that the evil in Tucson happened “for reasons that defy human understanding.” In his Newtown address, Obama replaced the more fatalistic theology of his Tucson memorial with a spirit of perseverance and renewal rooted in 2 Corinthians. In this essay, I suggest that Obama’s eulogy at Newtown serves as a counterpart to the call Obama advanced in the Tucson address. I argue that, though the messages embedded in the Tucson speech serve as a legitimate theological and epistemological check on the presumptions of reason, the Newtown address better met the aspirations of civility because it led to a consideration of policies designed to reduce gun violence.
The Road Not Taken in Opinion Research: Mass-Observation in Great Britain, 1937–1940
Authors: Hogan J. Michael 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
This essay examines an early alternative to polling, Mass-Observation (M-O), that dramatically reported on the nuances, contradictions, and passions of public opinion during some of the most extraordinary times in British history. Between the Abdication Crisis of 1937 and the start of World War II, M-O’s combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, along with its emphasis on the cultural context of public opinion, produced a richer, more textured, and more deliberative rhetoric of public opinion than the Gallup poll’s survey techniques. In the process, M-O foreshadowed many of today’s scholarly trends, including the reflexive turn in social research, increased skepticism about the knowledge claims of science, and the emergence of more public scholarship.
Bédier’s Contribution to the Accomplishment of Stemmatic Method, An Italian Perspective
Authors: Trovato Paolo 
Published: December 2015

This paper is concerned with an aspects of Bédier’s legacy, possibly the least known in the English-speaking world. Bédier›s works of 1913 and 1928–29 did not just create a schism in the apparently peaceful context of textual scholarship: through his statements, critical editions produced with a single copy-text regained the academic prestige that Gaston Paris› adaptations of stemmatic method had taken away from them. Since then, Bédier›s objections have also forced meticulous textual critics to rethink their editorial practice: though retaining the method of shared errors, such scholars (often scarcely known outside Italy) have brought important progress in the methods of textual criticism.

Zusammenfassung
Literaturverwaltungsprogramme haben sich zu funktionsmächtigen, alltäglichen Begleitern des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens sowie auch allgemein für die persönliche Wissensorganisation entwickelt. Eine seit jeher zentrale Funktion dieser Tools ist die Übernahme bibliographischer Daten aus Datenbanken, insbesondere aus elektronischen Bibliothekskatalogen (OPACs). Im Artikel werden die Möglichkeiten und die Qualität des Datenimports aus OPACs in die persönliche Literaturverwaltung diskutiert. Als ein wesentliches Desiderat wird dabei die Nachnutzung von Normdaten herausgearbeitet. Zudem wird eine Sensibilisierung für Anwendungen der persönlichen Literaturverwaltung bei der Katalogisierung oder Konzeption des Webkatalogs als notwendig erachtet.
Proposed Concept of Segmentation of Traditional Japanese Emissive Market for Managing Tourist Promotion of Mediterranean Countries
Authors: Šerić Neven , Vitner Marković Silvija , Tamari Tutnjević Svemir 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The concept of segmentation strategy of targeted emissive market is a usable starting point for efficient managing of promotion of receptive tourist destination. Growth in number of competing Mediterranean countries receptive tourist offers, conditions the need for the segmentation of specific emissive markets within the scope of the adjustment in the promotion itself. If this condition is not met, the presence of certain tourist segments may fail to meet the expectations. Segmentation becomes a strategic marketing tool of specialized tourist promotion of the receptive country itself when dealing with the emissive market characterized by the high non-accommodation, self-catering vacation rentals consumption. Promotion in tourism should send clear messages to the sought after, tourist segments regarding what is and how it is being offered. Undifferentiated marketing meant only for specific emissive market, weakens the tourist offers competitiveness and attractiveness. The strategic segments comprised in the process of segmentation, are selected in accordance with both the ability to meet the interests and trends in guests behaviour with available tourist resources of the receptive country. Tourist promotion thus takes over the role of the marketing tool in combining of the supply and demand, always in accordance with the goal strategic segment’s standards of the targeted emissive market. For the purpose of this paper the research of Japanese emissive market has been conducted. All tourist segments that can help Mediterranean countries, such as the Republic of Croatia to achieve the growth in tourist consumption and prolong the tourist season, are presented. Research and indepth analysis showed certain errors in the tourist promotion due to the neglect of the cultural specific quality and historic genesis of the targeted market. The fundamental research question is: there are enough segments on the Japanese emissive market for the efficient promotion of tourist resources of a typical Mediterranean country. All recommendable segments that can be classified as strategic are presented in this paper.
Safety Management Improvement Possibilities in Smes

Published: December 2015

Abstract
The safety management system in 16 Estonian manufacturing companies (eight certified and eight noncertified in OHSAS (occupational health and safety management systems standard) 18001; four of the last corporated to the foreign firms) were investigated using the MISHA method. The results showed that if the advanced safety methods (like proposed by OHSAS 18001) are implemented by the initiative of the employers of the locally-owned Estonian SMEs, the level in safety performance, comparable with OHSAS certified companies could be achieved. The regression analysis showed strong correlation between the personnel management, safety activities in practice, communication, physical work environment, psychological working conditions, hazards analysis procedures and the safety level, R2= 0.7312-0.9596; medium correlation between the participation, personnel safety training, occupational accidents and illnesses, social work environment and the safety level (R2=0.3133-0.6044). Low correlation (R2= 0.2139) was recorded between the safety policy and the safety level and there was no correlation between the work ability of the employees and the safety level. The methods to improve the locally-owned enterprises’ safety level up to the corporated and OHSAS 18001 certified level are proposed. The cost of suitable safety measures is calculated. The MISHA method improvement possibilities for the use in the SMEs (small and medium size companies) are presented.
Consumers’ Attitudes Towards Cause-Related Marketing
Authors: Sinčić Ćorić Dubravka , Dropuljić Marija 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The paper presents the development of 5-point Likert scale for measuring attitudes towards cause-related marketing, as well as its application on a sample of Croatian consumers. The results of the research show that respondents are familiar with cause-related marketing and regard it as a good investment in the community. They see cause-related marketing campaigns as a good communication tool; they find a cause to be relevant for their personal involvement in campaigns, although the match between the cause and the product’s characteristics seems to be less important. Finally, respondents do not find the size of the donation to be crucial for their participation in cause-related marketing campaigns, but they find it important to know about the size of the donation. The results of the research can serve to marketing managers, who need to thoroughly consider how to communicate specific elements of campaigns in order to achieve maximum understanding by the target group.
Financial Resource Allocation in a Project Portfolio: Analysing the Necessity to Integrate Sustainability into Resource Allocation
Authors: Dobrovolskienė Nomeda , Tamošiūnienė Rima 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Resource allocation in a project portfolio is a complex decision-making process that is influenced by multiple and very often conflicting objectives. Furthermore, companies are coming under strong social pressure to integrate elements of sustainability into their decision-making process, which makes this process even more complex. Nowadays, the concept of sustainability is widely applied by many companies through their mission statement and strategy. It is also one of the most popular research fields for scholars. Despite the fact that sustainability is considered one of the most important challenges of our time, the integration of sustainability into project or project portfolio management (especially in resource allocation) is not fully recognised. This paper presents a literature-based analysis of the use of the sustainability concept in project management and therefore makes suggestions on how to integrate sustainability into resource allocation in a project portfolio.
Requirements for Cios' Competencies in the Czech Economy
Authors: Maryska Milos , Doucek Petr 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Economy of the Czech Republic, just like the country’s ICT sector, underwent significant changes after 1990. The fall of socialism and transition to market economy had significant impact on development of ICT sector and its competitiveness. In the article, we analyze practical requirements in the field of strategic knowledge demanded from Chief Information Officers (CIOs). The analysis is based on a representative survey carried out among approximately 1,000 companies on the Czech market in 2006, 2010. The last survey in 2015 was performed in the form of interview in 147 corporations. The companies are divided by branch in economic sector, by dependence on ICT and by size. The requirements put on CIOs are divided into sixteen knowledge domains. The results of the survey indicate that ICT sector in Czech Republic has gone from centrally planned economy to almost advanced economy since 1990. This is evidenced by identified development of strategic knowledge and practical skills required from CIOs in Czech Republic between 2006, 2010 and 2015. Knowledge requirements on CIO’s degreased visible between year 2006 and 2015 but change between 2010 and 2015 is not noticeable. In general, we can say that requirements on CIO’s are in 2015 lower than in 2010 except domains like “Team leadership skills”, “IS/ICT knowledge”, “Knowledge in Business Sector” and “Law”.

13. Partial Replacement of Soybean with Low-Tannin Faba Bean Varieties (Albus or Amulet): Effects on Growth Traits, Slaughtering Parameters and Meat Quality of Puławska Pigs
Authors: Milczarek Anna , Osek Maria 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The study was carried out involving 48 fattening pigs split into 3 groups of equal size: one control (I) and two experimental (II and III). The experimental factor was low-tannin faba bean seeds of the Albus variety (group II) or Amulet variety (group III) introduced to experimental feed mixtures as a partial replacement for soybean meal - the only protein-rich material in the control diet. It was noticed that the partial replacement of soybean meal with faba bean meal had no statistically significant effect on: the daily gains of pigs, feed conversion, meatiness and fattening grades and meat acidity (pH1 and pH24), water holding capacity and muscle colour parameters (L*a*b*). However, the drip loss from longissimus muscles of pigs fed with diets containing low-tannin faba bean was lower and the difference between the group receiving Albus faba bean and the control group was confirmed to be statistically significant (P≤0.05). In the analysed longissimus lumborum muscle, no differences were recorded between the groups in terms of the content of protein, fat, minerals, or saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, including monounsaturated fatty acids. However, it was determined that the muscles of the animals from groups II and III contained more essential unsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (P≤0.05 - between groups I and III ). Albus faba bean seeds introduced to the feed mixture had a beneficial effect on the sensory characteristics of the evaluated muscle since, compared to the longissimus lumborum muscle from the control group, it was characterised by significantly (P≤0.05) improved juiciness, tenderness and palatability.
The Relevance of Methylation Profiles of Equine ITGAL Gene
Authors: Ząbek Tomasz , Semik Ewelina , Fornal Agnieszka , Gurgul Artur , Bugno-Poniewierska Monika 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
One of epigenetic features of mammalian genomes is methylation of DNA. This nucleotide modification might exert suppressive effect on gene transcription. We have described putative relevance of methylation of one of immune cells related gene (ITGAL) observed in the set of 11 equine tissues. Comparison between qualitative RT-PCR results and DNA bisulfite sequencing of investigated set of tissues pointed to potential correlations between tissue specific methylation and tissue specific transcription in ITGAL locus. These findings might be important for studies on genetic and epigenetic background of autoimmune disorders in the horse.
