The author considers two additions to analysis of technoscience, suggested by Olga Koshovets and Igor Frolov. First, technoscience is not just regime of knowledge production, which brings into play enormous technological and organizational resources, but is a regime, regulated by mandatory requirement to produce knowledge, which should be transformed into endowed with market value goods and services (technoobjects). Second, technoscience is an ever-faster colonization of natural and social worlds by technoobjects. In the author's view, the main problem with technoscience is not to hold the next round of conceptual clarification and theoretical reorganization of previous distinctions (nature/society, basic science/applied science, scientific fact/technoobject, social connections/technological connections) or introduction of new ones. The challenge is how to turn the concrete realization of technoscience into empirical research objects. The complexity of such enterprise is demonstrated in the case of research biobanking, which has become one of exemplary embodiment of technoscience and contemporary mode of biopolitics.

We considered the question of the possibility of using generalized correction coefficients of the value of the object understudy in the application of the comparative approach in the judicial commodity-making expertise. Proposed variants of corrective coefficients for simplification and acceleration of the work of forensic experts of commodity scientists, summarized and are shown in the general table. The factors are considered: – adjustments to trading, the necessity of application of which arises in the absence of reliable information about the selling prices of such property; – adjustment to the location of such property, the necessity of which applies when analyzing the current conditions for the selection of a similar object of valuation of similar property that is located and put up for sale in a region other than that in which the offense was committed. The adjustment to the appearance (condition of the goods), which is conditioned by the conditions for the selection of analogs, namely, the search for prices for such property first attention to the brand, model, and technical characteristics of research objects, and only then on the appearance of a selected analog; – adjustment for completeness, this amendment is always relevant in determining the value of research objects primarily related to criminal offenses, because not always the object of research and the object selected as such property coincide in its completeness. The question which is often raised by the court experts in their daily work in determining the value of the objects under study is proved, that this issue needs more detailed consideration and the need for scientific substantiation and systematization with the compilation of corresponding tables with generalized coefficients. The importance of solving the problem of the possibility of using generalized correction coefficients to determine the value of the investigated objects in the application of the comparative approach in the judicial commodity-making examination is substantiated.

Specific Amount

If there is a duty of justice to contribute to society, which asks individuals to produce a specific amount of goods and services that can be redistributed, we need a decision-procedure to know when we have done our part. This paper analyses and critically assesses the commonly suggested decision-procedure of relying on market prices to measure the value of one’s contribution. It is usually assumed that a high salary indicates that one’s talents are put to good use, but this presupposes both that market prices of labour are correct reflections of supply and demand, and that market prices are correct reflections of social value. I criticise both assumptions and argue that the social value of a contribution cannot simply be a function of its market value, but is also influenced by the principles of justice that support the duty to contribute. Further, the market solution is incapable of valuing contributions that lack market prices, like non-marketised care labour. The market solution thus fails as a decision-procedure under other than special circumstances. This does not mean, however, that we need to give up the idea of a duty to contribute.

The process of knowledge production involves negotiating several social worlds, whereby actors engage in positioning and repositioning to situate their intellectual labour and gain symbolic resources. This article considers the strategic positioning of policy research actors using interview and document data. It sets out the ways in which individual and institutional actors negotiate and situate their intellectual practice in order to gain capital from a range of relevant fields. The article considers how organisations position themselves in relation to other institutions, and how individual researchers position themselves vis-a-vis their own organisations and others in the hybrid space between more established fields. It demonstrates how identities are constructed in a relational way via comparison and juxtaposition in the liminal space of international development. In doing so, it directs attention to the strategic practices involved in the production of meaningful intellectual interventions.

PurposeBased on the premises of the institutional theory, in this paper, we explore the effects that the media coverage of positive and negative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) news have on the stock market value of companies in diverse industries.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sample of 195 online articles published in the most important Spanish business newspaper, we implement an event study and a regression analysis.FindingsThe findings show that positive and negative CSR news, usually, have significant impacts on the stock market value of companies. Specifically, the market reaction is stronger under the announcement of negative news in all industries (i.e. basic, energy, finance and goods and services), although positive news also cause significant positive stock market reactions in the finance and basic industries.Originality/valueAlthough the media plays an indispensable role in the dialogue around CSR, much of the research focused on the role of the media on the CSR-CFP link does not consider how the industry variable can affect the abnormal stock returns derived from CSR news. This research contributes to this gap in the literature by exploring the differences that exist in the stock market reactions to CSR news based on the industry in which the companies operate.

This article discusses how emergent sensory and multimodal methodologies can work in interaction to produce innovative social enquiry. A juxtaposition of two research projects — an ethnography of corridors and a mixed methods study of multimodal authoring and ‘reading’ practices — opened up this encounter. Sensory ethnography within social research methods aims to create empathetic, experiential ways of knowing participants’ and researchers’ worlds. The linguistic field of multimodality offers a rather different framework for research attending to the visual, material and acoustic textures of participants’ interactions. While both these approaches address the multidimensional character of social worlds, the ‘sensory turn’ centres the sensuous, bodied person — participant, researcher and audience/reader — as the ‘place’ for intimate, affective forms of knowing. In contrast, multimodal knowledge production is premised on multiple analytic gaps — between modes and media, participants and materials, recording and representation. Eliciting the tensions between sensorial closeness and modal distances offers a new space for reflexive research practice and multiple ways of knowing social worlds.

Abstract   One of the main principles to ensure economic transactions more efficient and effective is the principle of justice felt by the economic actors. The principle of justice can only be realized if each economic actor mutually agreed upon value (value) of goods and services as well as the currency unit in every economic transaction. In other words, the exchange of (exchange) would not happen if there is no agreement on the value of the underlying economic exchange. In this case, efficient or not an economic system will be determined by how objects are interchangeable assessed. Conditions ‘over-valued’ or ‘under-valued’ of object-exchange will certainly make the transaction does not run efficiently and optimally. Conditions ‘over-valued’ will be very detrimental to consumers and profitable producer or seller. The difference in prices due to ‘over-valued’ is a reflection of the inefficiency of an economy, because consumers should get cheaper products and services. Exchange process in a transaction that took place between economic actors was based on the agreement the fair value of the goods and services both private and state. Fair value (fair value) is basically a reflection of the market value (Market value) of assets. When the fair value opinion generated by the Valuer carried out correctly, of course, will increase improve the quality of financial statements. This is because the value of corporate assets truly reflect the conditions (market value) up to date, so that the company’s assets will not be reported undervalued or overvalued. The problem is, until now we have not had conditions governing special assessment. No new judging partially regulated in the Capital Market Law, Banking and Insurance. In the case there are still many areas that need adjustment of business judgment. The question is, what arrangements benefit assessment?   Kata kunci: Aspek Hukum Penilaian Harga Wajar

Abstract Dementia caregivers must manage the social worlds of their loved ones as well as their own. In a mixed methods study, we interviewed 50 family caregivers prior to the pandemic, twice during early phases of the pandemic, and again during the vaccine roll-out phase. Findings revealed how implementation of stay-at-home orders altered reliance on informal support as well as social ties and interactions. Using content analysis, we identified three ways in which caregivers’ managed changes in their social world: rethinking family visits (fewer people, higher quality); reinventing public spaces (church services, exercise venues); and reconsidering self-care (setting boundaries, solace in nature). Caregivers showed varying degrees of resilience in the ways they managed adverse social situations and cared for themselves. Findings reinforce the need for inclusive programs and services to help caregivers learn to maintain supportive social connections that reinforce their care decisions and routines, particularly during times of duress.

BackgroundConnectedness is a central dimension of personal recovery from severe mental illness (SMI). Research reports that people with SMI have lower social capital and poorer-quality social networks compared to the general population.AimsTo identify personal well-being network (PWN) types and explore additional insights from mapping connections to places and activities alongside social ties.MethodWe carried out 150 interviews with individuals with SMI and mapped social ties, places and activities and their impact on well-being. PWN types were developed using social network analysis and hierarchical k-means clustering of this data.ResultsThree PWN types were identified: formal and sparse; family and stable; and diverse and active. Well-being and social capital varied within and among types. Place and activity data indicated important contextual differences within social connections that were not found by mapping social networks alone.ConclusionsPlace locations and meaningful activities are important aspects of people's social worlds. Mapped alongside social networks, PWNs have important implications for person-centred recovery approaches through providing a broader understanding of individual's lives and resources.Declaration of interestNone.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to primarily examine the trend of hidden values and use of intellectual capital (IC) information narratives of leading Malaysian companies in the context of the recent financial crisis. The study then assesses the implications of IC information on a firm’s market value. Design/methodology/approach It examines the trend of hidden values and the corresponding role of IC information releases through analyses of archival data retrieved from Bloomberg and corporate annual reports of 153 firm-year observations across a three-year period (2008-2010). Various statistical and econometric data analyses were performed to examine the aforementioned exercises. Findings This study documents four main findings. First, the results show a significantly widening gap between market and book values during the financial crisis, with the market values consistently higher than the book values in all three years. Second, the hidden values significantly increased over time, with the increase becoming substantially higher in the years corresponding to the tail-end of the crisis. Third, the findings indicate that an increase in the hidden values results in a simultaneous increase in IC disclosures, with firms using IC information to inform and reflect their hidden values. Finally, it is shown that the overall amount of IC disclosures, and in particular human capital information, has a significant positive association with hidden values and, consequently, the market value of the companies. Practical Implications For IC researchers, the study shows the existence of a substantial amount of hidden values in the corporate landscape; thus, there is a need to actually uncover the pattern and creation of hidden values within firms through action research. For businesses, the study reveals the importance of releasing IC information narratives to a firm’s value creation process. The results are also important for policymakers in promoting integrated corporate reporting framework to report IC resources of a firm, perhaps a policy extending the recent mandatory requirement of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting in Malaysia. Originality/value This study presents a rare empirical assessment of the trend of hidden values and use of IC information narratives in the context of a recession. The findings can benefit companies and regulators in getting to know a growing level of hidden values – as well as the usefulness of IC information.
