Quantifying wage effects of offshoring: import- versus export-based measures of production fragmentation
PublicationIn this paper we examine the implications of international fragmentation of production on wages in the light of recent methodological developments in offshoring measurement. In particular, we compare the results stemming from two ways of quantifying offshoring – the traditional one based on import statistics and the one obtained from the decomposition of gross exports and input-output information. In the empirical part of our study,...

The Influence of Modelling Material Zones on Strains and Stresses at Weld Toe Notch
PublicationThe latest development in the field of welding technology enabled prefabrication of thin-walled sandwich structures in an industrial scale. Sandwich structures fabricated of steel, or aluminium alloy plates and stiffeners are welded with the use of hi-power CO2 lasers. Strength analysis of such structures with the use of finite element method needs proper material modelling.In this paper the material model of steel sandwich panel...

Linkages between services and manufacturing as a new channel for GVC growth: evidence from CEE countries
PublicationThe aim of this paper is to use a panel Granger causality test to verify the hypothesis of the existence of a causal relationship between forward linkages from domestic services to manufacturing and a country’s participation and position in GVCs in selected central and eastern European economies – the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia – for the period 2000-2014. Our results show that the Baltic...

Nexus between stock markets, economic strength, R&D and environmental deterioration: new evidence from EU-27 using PNARDL approach
PublicationThis research investigates the impact of stock market indices, economic strength, and research and development expenditures on environmental deterioration in the EU-27 countries for the period 2000–2020. This study utilized linear and non-linear panel ARDL to estimate the short- and long-run effect. According to the results, the stock market indices have negative effect on environmental deterioration in the symmetric form. However,...

Non-volatile molecular composition and discrimination of single grape white of chardonnay, riesling, sauvignon blanc and silvaner using untargeted GC–MS analysis
PublicationThis study developed and applied a GC–MS method aiming at molecular fingerprinting of 120 commercial single grape white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Silvaner) for possible authentication according to grape variety. The method allowed detection of 372 peaks and tentative identification of 146 metabolites including alcohols, organic acids, esters, amino acids and sugars. The grape variety effect explained 8.3%...

The Usefulness of Cyclic Diamidines with Different Core-substituents as Antitumor Agents
PublicationA series of related polycationic compds. has been screened for potential antitumor activity by the NCI's in vitro testing (one dose primary anticancer assay and the NCI-60 full panel screening). The GI50 values of triazines 3 and 4 are on av. 1.9 μM and 2.4 μM, resp. Furan 8 deserves mention too (1.9 μM). The biol. test results showed that carbazole 10 possessed cytotoxic activity in the nanomolar range, much better than...

Grand Challenges on the Theory of Modeling and Simulation
PublicationModeling & Simulation (M&S) is used in many different fields and has made many significant contributions. As a field in its own right, there have been many advances in methodologies and technologies. In 2002 a workshop was held in Dagstuhl, Germany, to reflect on the grand challenges facing M&S. Ten years on, a series of M& S Grand Challenge activities are marking a decade of progress and are providing an opportunity to reflect...
