Points Of View

The aim of the chapter is to present the concept of downsizing from different points of view: as a strategic option, as a management tool and as a phenomenon. It describes the evolution of the term, its definitions, and different directions of development. A scale and possible outcomes are described on the basis of financial analysis; however it also discusses the role of non-financial aspects. The chapter points out reasons, aims and a wide range of tools that may be used during implementation of downsizing. One of the conclusions of the chapter is to present future research directions aiming at increasing knowledge of managers and providing them with detailed good practices.

In order to ensure successful innovative development of Latvian mechanical engineering and metalworking industry, quality of human resources is one of the important task. First of all, it is necessary to name health of people working in the industry. In Latvia a number of occupational diseases increased, with the greatest growth taking place in manufacturing industry, integral part of which is the engineering and metalworking industry. The problem of accidents at work is also urgent, the number of diseases caused by growing stress. Taking into consideration difficult demographic situation in Latvia and the existing problems in labor market, this situation requires special attention. In the article, the author substantiates the importance and prospects of the development of health tourism as an important factor in maintaining the health and working ability of workers in engineering industry.

This chapter evaluates the merits of Stockholm as a venue for international arbitration proceedings. It discusses the history and development of arbitration in Sweden; the processes and rules involved as well as the role of courts in the conduct of arbitration proceedings; and rules for arbitral awards. It concludes that the legal framework, the practice of the courts, and the experience of Swedish arbitration practitioners, all ensure an arbitration-friendly environment at the highest international standards. Stockholm and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) have long maintained a position as a preferred venue for resolving international disputes in general and disputes with an East-West dimension in particular. The long tradition of arbitration in Sweden has yielded a rich body of case law relating to arbitration, providing for a predictable procedure. The Swedish courts respect and enforce arbitration agreements and do not interfere unduly in arbitration proceedings. Awards cannot be challenged based on the merits and can be set aside only on the basis of serious procedural irregularities or narrowly defined issues of non-arbitrability or public policy.

AbstractGrowing concerns that PMSCs were operating in a legal vacuum led to increasing calls for further clarification on the role of such entities in conflict zones and to mounting pressure to develop a regulative framework under international law. In September 2008, 17 States endorsed the Montreux Document, an initiative sponsored by the Swiss government and the ICRC. The Montreux Document is a non-binding document aimed at identifying and reasserting the most relevant international legal obligations that govern the conduct of PMSCs during armed conflicts. It also provides for a set of guidelines on ‘good practices’ for States in regard to the operation of PMSCs in armed conflicts. Although it does not create any legal obligations, and only recalls existing ones, it is the first intergovernmental document to address international obligations in respect to the activities of PMSCs. It can thus be seen as a first step toward the establishment of a better regulative framework of PMSCs' activities in conflict zones. This article provides an overview of the process that led to the endorsement of this document and an analysis of its content. It also addresses some of the questions left unanswered by the Montreux Document.

In recent years, the role of health tourism has become more significant in Hungary due to growing health awareness, good domestic conditions and the increasingly completed health services. Beside the conditions Hungary has long traditions and internationally accepted references in this area, nowadays wellness tourism is becoming increasingly popularHungary is one of the biggest source of thermal waters, thus health tourism can be a vital part of the domestic tourism industry. The developments of health tourism services are also important for tourist destination. In this paper an overall assessment was done about the services belong to health tourism. Applying a questionnaire survey the evaluation of a Hungarian practice was accomplished, and about 100 wellness hotel were involved, from all parts of Hungary. The results indicate that quality management systems are applied in high rate, but requirements are not determined or applied precisely. Also important establishment is that wellness hotels take the necessary steps to shape up the inner and outer environment perfectly, but feedbacks and direct surveys of guests are missing in many cases. The competition is strong in the market of health tourism, if Hungary means to strengthen his position has pay more attention for implementation of quality practice.

In the framework of continuous improvement of university education, the corresponding bodies are attentive to the good practices detached by the agents that comprise them. In this study, gamification in the mathematics learning process is described from the perspective of 286 students identified by non-probabilistic intentional sampling. Under these arguments, the methodology of the study is non-experimental, descriptive ex-post-facto level; the data for the analysis were collected in two stages: first moment in an instantaneous way to be able to perceive directly the gamification in the learning of mathematics through the Mentimenter tool; in second moment, the questionnaire was applied with 33 items composed of three dimensions: dynamics, mechanics and component from the contributions of Kevin Werbach. The results attributed to the study show that gamification, from the student's perspective, is a dynamic tool for the learning of previous concepts of Basic Mathematics and Mathematical Complements in the first academic semesters; in addition, the teacher plays the role of facilitator and the student responsibly manages his space and learning environment.
