As in previous years, also in 2015 “Grindeks” focused its attention to Corporate Social Responsibility projects, where three key areas are in the foreground – the dialogue with health care professionals, patient safety, public health promotion and education.

  • Competitive Identity for Nation of Latvia – Lessons to Learn from National Hockey Team ‘’Dinamo Riga’’
    ISSN 1822 – 8402 EUROPEAN INTEGRATION STUDIES. 2010. No 4 COMpETITIVE IDEnTITY fOR nATIOn Of LATVIA – LESSOnS TO LEARn fROM nATIOnAL HOCKEY TEAM ‘’DInAMO RIGA’’ Ainars Brencis, Juris Ozols School of Business Administration Turiba Abstract nowadays global competition could be seen not only in corporate level, but also is exists among nations. Competition among nations is in following sectors – foreign investment, export and tourism. As there is competition between nations, regions and cities (as it is among corporations) there will be always need for methods to increase subject’s competitiveness – this can be defined as a Competitive Identity (porter 1998). Term Competitive Identity is used as broader expression of brand management for nations, Cities and Regions. Higher marketing effort is needed for developing (emerging) nations, and nations without resources (natural or man made) representing absolute advantages. nation branding has emerged relatively recently as an important field in the domain of international marketing. Anholt 2007 states marketing quality depends on all the national stakeholders (virtually society – people) working together in creating competitive identity. Media could be involved only after all the stakeholders speak one language about their country. Communication can’t substitute positive change; it can only help change to happen faster. Latvian authorities too often start from the least efficient – communication. According to nation Brands Index (NBI) and City Brand Barometer, Latvia and its capital Riga, shares one of the last places – 35 to 40th (depending on research type and year) place from forty among other nations and cities around the World. After regaining independence and collapse of almost all the industry, there was little left for positioning Latvia as a nation, so fanning for ice hockey was spontaneous and very convenient way for local people to speak common language about their nation.

  • Financing Model for the Development of Latvian Athletes

ORIGINAL RESEARCH PAPER FINANCING MODEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LATVIAN ATHLETES Mārtiņš Lauva1, Uldis Grāvītis2 1Ventspils University College Address: 101 Inzenieru Street, Ventspils, LV-3601, Latvia E-mail: [email protected] 2Latvian Academy of Sport Education Address: 333 Brivibas Street, Riga, LV1006, Latvia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The organization of Latvian sports has come a long way since its foundation in the period of independence between the first and second World Wars. The following situation has developed in the organisational structure in sport in Latvia, individual sports and training expenses for individuals in these disciplines are financed by the state, whereas, team sports depend on funding provided by local governments, private sponsors and contributors. Subsidies to enable the participation of national teams in international games are allocated from the state budget, but there is no support system for the best representatives of team sports in order to develop their individual skill, as with individual disciplines. A support system for team athletes can facilitate success of a particular kind of sport at an international level. The youth sports system is mainly based on sports schools, which are maintained by local governments and are developing the most talented future athletes. The necessity for the establishment of specialized boardingschools, to bring together the best representatives in each kind of sport, in each age group nationwide, as well as the best professional coaches, is being frequently accentuated. Deficiencies in the public system can be remedied by attracting private capital investors. Organizations operating under the aegis of the Ministry of Education and Science have developed criteria for the allocation of funding to provide training for athletes.

    Language, Individual & Society Journal of International Scientific Publications ISSN 1314-7250, Volume 13, 2019 www.scientific-publications.net INTERPRETATIONS OF COSMOPOLITANISM AND COSMOPOLITAN IDENTITY IN LATVIAN PERIODICALS (TILL 1940) Ilze Kacane Daugavpils University, Vienibas 13, Daugavpils, Latvia Abstract The origins of globalization processes have to be looked for in the distant past, and in each of the previous historical periods, the course of these processes – intensiveness and extensiveness –, as well as their aftereffects are different. For the construction of Europe’s future identities (including that of Latvia’s), when the tendencies of the spread of cosmopolitan value-orientation are obvious, the principles behind creating the nation’s identities in the past become essential. The periods of the development of Latvia’s history and national identity show the orientation towards individual and national or, on the contrary, towards universal and cosmopolitan. This paper is aimed at summarizing and analysing the interpretations of the concepts “cosmopolite” and “cosmopolitan identity” as given in the Latvian periodicals during 1) the time of the development of national self-confidence in the second half of the nineteenth century, 2) the period of Europeanization and cultural openness at the turn of the century, 3) the 20–30s of the twentieth century. When the movement of national renascence (“the New Latvians” / in Latvian “Jaunlatvieši”) began, the “intrusion of the foul cosmopolitism” (A. Kronvalds) was looked upon as a threat to the national culture. Whereas the cosmopolitan-global dominant, universalism and universal human values prevail in the attitude of the Latvian intellectuals’ movement “the New Current” (in Latvian “Jaunā Strāva”) of the end of the nineteenth century.
