The aim of this study is to estimate these changes and draw
Environmental management accounting (EMA) is a management tool for the better consideration of environmental costs. Many benefits of EMA are discussed in the literature, but there are no comprehensive studies that weigh the benefits of EMA against the costs of its use. As a result, many organisations are uncertain about the outcomes of EMA and are, therefore, reluctant to implement such a tool. In

Everett C. Hughes's classic concept of a "going concern" should stand for both entire institutions and for chains of activities within institutions. In this article the author explores this expanded version of Hughes's concept to show how staff and residents in a youth care setting interweave everyday concerns-meals, lessons, breaks, meetings, or other mundane but concerted projects-with interpers

Data and methods - We obtained data on total h
Interest in cross-national partnership is increasing in Europe, a situation very much reflected in calls for funding. Multi-language qualitative research methodologies need to be strengthened in order to support this growing trend toward the promotion of cross-national collaboration.

Tin was a vital commodity in times past. In central Europe, the earliest finds of tin-bronze date to about 2200 bc, while in Greece they are c. 400-500 years earlier. While there is evidence for prehistoric copper mining-for example, in the Alps or mainland Greece, among other places-the provenance of the contemporary tin is still an unsolved problem. This work deals with a new approach for tracin
