ASPECTS REGARDING THE APPROACH OF THE PROBLEMS OF THE EMPLOYEES AND OF THE PROBLEM-EMPLOYEES

The procustian approach of the job's design is widely spread in actual society too. Several researches in European countries regarding working conditions, employees' satisfaction and work stress marked the fact that there are many stressful jobs. The most serious consequence of work - stress is the lack of balance between private and professional life. Western organizations offer various support instruments to their employees in order to improve the balance between work and private life. There are employees who have difficult demeanour due to stress and exhaustment. The approach of problem-employees demands great skill and ability.bed of Procust, working conditions, balance between work and life, support company politics, problem-employees

Tax evasion and tax avoidance in the towns of the Kingdom of Naples (XV-XVIII centuries)

The phenomenon of tax fraud was rooted in the tax system of the old regime. The main reasons were: the magnitude of the number of the privileged, the negotiatory nature of fiscal relations between the Sovereign and his subjects, the decentralised management of taxation where a leading role was played in this by the intermediary bodies throughout the territory. Another factor was the autonomy enjoyed at local level, which was also a source of particularism, heterogeneity and excessive power on the part of the urban élite (Fortea Pérez). Many of these characteristics, relating specifically to sixteenth and seventeenth-century Castile, were also common to other areas of Europe as a result of jurisdictional fragmentation (Epstein, Dincecco). In order to describe the peculiar physiognomy of the Kingdom in the field of tax evasion, I shall try to answer questions on whether and how this phenomenon followed the above-mentioned centuries-old patternsEl fenómeno del fraude fiscal es inherente al sistema tributario del antiguo régimen. Las principales razones fueron: la gran cantidad de privilegiados implicados en el sistema; la naturaleza per se negociadora de las relaciones fiscales entre el soberano y sus súbditos; la gestión descentralizada de los impuestos y el papel substancial que jugaron en todo ello los organismos intermedios. Otro factor fue la autonomía de que gozaron en el ámbito local, lo que era también una fuente de particularismos, así como la heterogeneidad y el poder excesivo por parte de la élite urbana (Fortea Pérez). Muchas de estas características, específicamente relacionado con la Castilla de los siglos XVI y XVII, también eran comunes a otras zonas de Europa como resultado de la fragmentación jurisdiccional (Epstein, Dincecco). Para describir la fisonomía peculiar del Reino en el campo de la evasión fiscal, voy a tratar de responder a las preguntas sobre cómo este fenómeno siguió los viejos patrones de los mencionados siglo

CONSIDERATIONS ON THE MEASURES TO COUNTER THE RISK OF BANKRUPTCY FOR SMES DURING THE FINANCIAL CRISIS

The financial crisis in Romania has expressed in an eloquent manner and meant large negative effects, such as external factors generated by trigger of the financial crisis in Romania in October 2008 and internal factors for society that fundamentally influenced the decreasing of funding in 2009. Promotion of private initiative is, in our opinion, one of the methods that attenuate the financial effort of state for social segment which generates costs and, is producing revenue for the state. In this paper we promote the idea of opening a fundamental process of restructuring the SME’s management mentality, that of safeguarding of the enterprises with existing instruments, but also with new proposals to the Government, for regeneration as soon as possible of the country's economic and human factors capable of working.bankruptcy, SME, Reorganization, companies, crisis, fusion.

Thermodynamic Length, Time, Speed and Optimum Path to Minimize Entropy Production

In addition to the Riemannian metricization of the thermodynamic state space, local relaxation times offer a natural time scale, too. Generalizing existing proposals, we relate {\it thermodynamic} time scale to the standard kinetic coefficients of irreversible thermodynamics. Criteria for minimum entropy production in slow, slightly irreversible processes are discussed. Euler-Lagrange equations are derived for optimum thermodynamic control for fixed clock-time period as well as for fixed {\it thermodynamic} time period. Only this latter requires constant thermodynamic speed as the optimum control proposed earlier. An easy-to-implement stepwise algorithm is constructed to realize control at constant thermodynamic speed. Since thermodynamic time is shown to correspond to the number of steps, thus the sophisticated task of determining thermodynamic time in real control problems can be substituted by measuring ordinary intensive variables. Most remarkably, optimum paths are Riemannian geodesics which would not be the case had we used ordinary time.Comment: revised version with essential corrections, LaTeX 13p

Employees Misbehaviour. Formes, Causes and What Management Should do to Handle With

In many organizations there are employees who sabotage processes, steal company property, harass others, cheat the management or mislead customers. These misbehaviours of the employees are pervasive and costly. In the same time, they are warning that employees` needs are not met. Sometimes managers avoid to facing the unacceptable behaviours of the employee due to certain psychological reasons. The approach of problem-employees is a challenge for the managers. While most of them may be tempted to dismiss these employees researches have indicated that the best alternative is to learn how to behave with that person.employee misbehaviour, violence at the workplace, substance abuse, workplace dishonesty, causes of misbehaviours, problem-employees

Canonical quantization and black hole perturbations

We examine the possibility of a constraint-free quantization of linearized gravity, based on the Teukolsky equation for black hole perturbations. We exhibit a simple quadratic (but complex) Lagrangian for the Teukolsky equation, leading to the interpretation that the elementary excitations (gravitons bound to the Kerr black hole) are unstable.Comment: Contribution to the XIXth Max Born Symposium, Wroclaw. 10 pages, LaTeX, no figure
