TL;DR: In this article, explicit solutions of Type IIA supergravity which are believed to be dual to N=2 superconformal four-dimensional gauge theories are provided. But these explicit solutions are based on the general ansatz for such a type of backgrounds introduced by Gaiotto and Maldacena.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the current preoccupation with win-win situations in CSR may not serve societal interests and develop a global governance framework for CSR that provides more democratic forms of decision making in the political economy that will enable corporate social responsibility to overcome the constraints imposed by corporate rationality.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to argue that there are structural and functional limits to corporate social responsibility (CSR) that determine the boundary conditions of corporate social initiatives. The current preoccupation with win-win situations in CSR may not serve societal interests. For CSR to produce social outcomes that are not necessarily constrained by corporate rationality there needs to be a change in the normative framework of public decision making at the institutional level. The author develops a global governance framework for CSR that provides more democratic forms of decision making in the political economy that will enable corporate social responsibility to overcome the constraints imposed by corporate rationality. Design/methodology/approach – This is a conceptual paper and critique. Findings – The author develops a global governance framework for CSR that provides more democratic forms of decision making in the political economy that will enable corporate social responsibili...

TL;DR: It is shown that similar motion processing deficits occur in the amblyopic group as a whole for translation, rotation, and radial components of optic flow and that none of these can be solely accounted for by the reduced visibility of the stimuli.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine Habermas's account of the transformation of the public sphere in modern society, and demonstrate that, whilst Habe rmas's approach succeeds in offering useful insights into the structural transformation of public spheres in the early modern period, it does not provide an adequate theoretical framework for understanding the structural transformations in late modern societies.
Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to examine Habermas's account of the transformation of the public sphere in modern society. More specifically, the study aims to demonstrate that, whilst Habermas's approach succeeds in offering useful insights into the structural transformation of the public sphere in the early modern period, it does not provide an adequate theoretical framework for understanding the structural transformation of public spheres in late modern societies. To the extent that the gradual differentiation of social life manifests itself in the proliferation of multiple public spheres, a critical theory of public normativity needs to confront the challenges posed by the material and ideological complexity of late modernity in order to account for the polycentric nature of advanced societies. With the aim of showing this, the paper is divided into three sections. The first section elucidates the sociological meaning of the public/private dichotomy. The second section scrutinizes the key features of Habermas's theory of the public sphere by reflecting on (i) the concept of the public sphere, (ii) the normative specificity of the bourgeois public sphere, and (iii) the structural transformation of the public sphere in modern society. The third section explores the most substantial shortcomings of Habermas's theory of the public sphere, particularly its inability to explain the historical emergence and political function of differentiated public spheres in advanced societies.
