Published: December 2020

Current study aims to examine the relationship between knowledge management and performance excellence through the effect of knowledge management (KM) on technological vigilance within pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations in Jordan. Depending on quantitative approach, 270 questionnaires were distributed among employees and leaders of 49 pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations in Jordan to examine the effect of KM and its chosen variables, Organizational Culture, Leadership, Organizational Processes, Organization's Politics and Strategies, on delivering organization to performance excellence through the mediating role of technological vigilance. Results of the study indicate a positive influence of KM on delivering organization to excellence; this influence was attributed to mainly leadership as the basic driver. The results also indicate that technological vigilance mediates the relationship between knowledge management and delivering the organization to the state of performance excellence. Moreover, the study results indicate that KM enhances the organization's ability to retain and improve organizational performance and helps deliver it to excellence based on experience and knowledge. Knowledge management allows the institution to define the required knowledge, document, develop, share, apply and evaluate this knowledge and it is an approach for excellent performance. Study recommends increasing efforts towards providing the requirements of applying knowledge management, and the need for organizational structures to be horizontal and flexible, and there must be conscious and eager leadership to apply knowledge management and encourage the exchange of information, and the need for organizational culture to be conducive to the application of knowledge.

Published: December 2020

The study is conducted on the management factors affecting talent turnover in the banks’ credit card centers. For this purpose, the primary data are gathered from 73 respondents of credit card departments of banks listed in Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Reliability test of questionnaire items, chi-square test, cross-tab, relational and regression analyses are used to analyze the interactions among variables. The study finds that work pressure and industrial development prospectus have positive linkage with dimensions of employee loyalty and talent turnover while compensation and benefits, promotion opportunities, management communication and work responsibilities are negatively associated with dimensions of employee loyalty and talent turnover. Conclusively, the study finds the following aspects as the main causes of talent turnover; loyalty imbalance, small promotion space and unstable working conditions. The prime cause of talent turnover in banks’ credit card businesses is loyalty imbalance. The study suggests banking firms to focus on trainings, recruitment and employees’ professional development with active characteristics of work to reduce the talent turnover rate. The banking firms should also provide opportunities to their employees to show their abilities and expertise.

Authors: Zakaria Nazlina , Wei Francis Chuah Chin , Abdullah Nor Azimah Chew , Yusoff Rushami Zien
Published: December 2020

Many studies have focused on direct link between HRM practices and organizational performance. There is a strong relationship between these two variables that driven further research to identify the mechanism through which such relationship exists. Following resource-based view (RBV), the aim of this research was to investigate the indirect effect of organizational innovation on HRM practices-performance linkage. Data was collected from owners/managers of manufacturing SMEs in West Malaysia. 331 (60.5%) distributed questionnaires were received and analyzed through PLS-SEM. Out of six hypotheses on mediation, only one hypothesis was rejected. The findings strongly supported the RBV theory when organizational innovation significantly mediated the relationship. These results clearly indicate that organizational innovation plays an intermediate role between HRM practices (i.e. communication and information sharing, compensation, selection, performance appraisal, and training and development) and organizational performance of SMEs.

Authors: Yao Liufang , Carrothers Andrew G.
Published: December 2020

This paper is motivated by major food product recall events in recent years, especially how the timely and effective response using post-recall management can make a difference. We consider the rare but very influential major product recalls as disruptions to the supply chain and incorporate locating reprocessing centers for the returned products to mitigate expected operational costs. We adopt the closed loop network design framework and assume the location decisions for reprocessing center take place after the product recall events. Our scenario-based analysis shows the approach is effective in both absolute and relative measures.

A Bayesian Approach for Large Asset Allocation
Authors: Andrei Mihnea S. , Hsu John S. J.
Published: December 2020

The Black-Litterman model combines investor’s personal views with historical data and gives optimal portfolio weights. In (Andrei & Hsu, 2020), they reviewed the original Black-Litterman model and modified it in order to fit it into a Bayesian framework, when a certain number of assets is considered. They used the idea by (Leonard & Hsu, 1992) for a multivariate normal prior on the logarithm of the covariance matrix. When implemented and applied to a large number of assets such as all the S&P500 companies, they ran into memory allocation and running time issues. In this paper, we reduce the dimensions by considering Bayesian factor models, which solve the asset allocation problems for a large number of assets. In addition, we will conduct sensitivity analysis for the confidence levels that the investors have to input.
Occupational stress levels among employees of commercial and cooperative banks
Authors: Kaźmierczyk Jerzy , Zajdler Kinga
Published: December 2020

Deep organisational changes that the banking sector has undergone, also in terms of working conditions, resulted in the increase of emotional tension experienced by its employees. However, the stress levels commercial and cooperative bank workers suffer from are unequal, as the management methods implemented by the two types of banks are different. The aim of the study is to compare the stress levels of employees of commercial and cooperative banks in Poland. A hypothesis has been formulated that the Perceived Stress at Work (PSwP) questionnaire, stress indexes, classification trees CHAID and CRT and tests of difference significance can be successfully applied to carry out comparative analyses of stress levels among bank employees.
The paper is based on the results of the author’s own survey conducted in the years 2016– 2019 on a group of 2,357 bank employees in Poland, and, as a background for the analyses, on the results of a similar study done in Russia. It was found out that the level of stress observed among employees of commercial banks was higher than that of cooperative bank workers; additionally, the difference was particularly visible in certain groups of employees (e.g. in operational units and regional branches, among employees who worked up to 41.5 hours a week, according to the CRT method). Strong pressure to achieve the best possible sales results cause higher levels of stress among employees of commercial banks. Moreover, the increase in the use of information technology as well as internal competition in the workplace may affect stress levels.
The conducted research demonstrates that the PSwP questionnaire and the applied statistical methods prove adequate tools for performing stress level comparative analyses.
Primary Rights and the Inequalities of E-Book Access
Authors: Janyk Roën F. , Lomness Arielle R.
Published: December 2020

The e-book landscape is in a constant state of flux. More recent developments include new acquisition models, advances in platform usability and navigation, more lenient DRM provisions, and improvements to simultaneous user access licenses. However, what has not been addressed recently are the inequalities in e-book access for libraries across the world due to ‘primary rights.’ Territorial rights versus world rights is a licensing issue affecting libraries globally, and yet little is being done to address the inequalities of access. Join our discussion that will examine the ‘unavailable in your country’ message libraries often see alongside e-book purchase options, review documented inflation and deflation in e-book prices over time, and learn about the delayed or limited e-book offerings for global libraries. Explore how we can ensure equal access to electronic books for libraries across the globe. Hear perspectives from libraries inside and outside of the U.S., as well as publisher thoughts on the topic, including the continued drawbacks for library e-book access they believe will continue. Where do these discussions need to occur and who can we educate on the importance of including international access clauses in licenses or publishing agreements? Although this issue may not be widely known by librarians in the U.S., the exclusivity of electronic content based on the geographical location or status of a country is a sharp contrast to many of the inherent beliefs that are foundational to our profession.

The Amateur Anthropologist
Authors: Hockings Paul
Published: December 2020

The thinkers who founded anthropology and prehistory in the nineteenth century were almost entirely untrained in the subject, and indeed had often distinguished themselves in other professions altogether. Their efforts, along with the development of local field clubs in Britain and elsewhere, led to the founding of many museums, regional journals, and to the development of public interest in culture history. G. W. Willis, FSA, a clocksmith and Mayor of Basingstoke, was one example of an amateur who did a great deal of field study during 1920-70 and created a new museum.
Belief in Metamorphosis
Authors: Oesterdiekhoff Georg W.
Published: December 2020

The idea that the borders between different natural species can be easily bridged by metamorphoses was central to the ancient worldview. Humans were believed to be able to undress their human appearance and to transform into any beast whichever, or, conversely, animals were believed to appear as human beings. This belief permeated daily life and ritual practice. The notion of metamorphosis was also central to ancient metaphysics: it affected ideas regarding creation and maintenance of the cosmos, as well as birth and death of living beings. This article demonstrates that developmental psychology can explain both the universal existence of this belief in premodern societies and its disappearance in modern societies. People staying on the preoperational stage cannot avoid believing in metamorphosis because it is an inevitable part of the cognitive patterns of this stage. People staying on the concrete and formal operational stages are in fact no more able to share these ideas because the notion of the invariance of natural kinds is an inevitable part of higher psychological stages. The article points to the fundamental importance of developmental psychology for ethnological research, especially for the study of ancient worldview.
An Ethnographic Investigation of Women’s Perception and Cognition Regarding Skin Color in Pakistan
Authors: Zubair Subaita , Ali Urwah , Akhtar Zuba’a
Published: December 2020

The ethnographic study tends to explore female perception concerning diverse skin colors and different connotations associated with it in Pakistan’s society. It is intended to highlight preferable and judgmental cognitions attached with gender skin tone by exploring the reasons which propagate this kind of thinking in culture. A qualitative methodology of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions was employed. The sample included late adolescents (aged 18-24) and early adults (24-34) from the area of Islamabad and Rawalpindi (Pakistan). Purposive sampling was applied and thematic analysis was used as a qualitative paradigm. The number of respondents comprised of 15 females of which 5 were gym-goers. This culture has its biased and paradoxical ways when it comes to expectations and objectification genders face with regard to body image, particularly skin complexion. Schemas and biased standards play their role when it comes to judging people on their appearance and attractiveness. Conclusively, according to our study, fair color, attractive looks, and appealing personality always received more favors than obese, dark skin colored sexes. Fair complexion is assumed to open gates to opportunities and incredible chances for females, especially when it comes to mate selection or matrimony.
A Muslim Shrine in Tunisia
Authors: Hopkins Nicholas S.
Published: December 2020

In the North-Tunisian town of Testour one can observe the role of the saint most respected in Testour society: Sidi Ali el Arian. People visit his shrine to make individual offerings and for collective celebrations, especially the annual festival known as a zerda. Sidi Ali’s main role is that of a protector of the people of Testour and their enterprises, and many legends and tales recount his successes in those domains from health to politics. The appeal to Sidi Ali requires a visit to the shrine where the petitioner offers a prayer to God and leaves a modest offering and may burn a candle. An annual festival occurs in the spring and involves the sacrifice of cattle and a communal meal on the resulting meat, and a collective celebration involving drumming, singing, and dancing with occasional trancing.
Reinstatement of the Patagonian moss Ulota glabella Mitt. (Bryophyta, Orthotrichaceae)
Authors: Garilleti Ricardo , Albertos Belén , Draper Isabel , Calleja Juan Antonio , Lara Francisco
Published: December 2020

In 1842, J.D. Hooker collected a number of mosses on Hermite Island (Cape Horn region). From one of those gatherings, Hooker 141, four species of Ulota have been described: U. luteola, U. fuegiana, U. glabella, and U. eremitensis. The first two species are widely accepted, whereas the identity of the latter two has been recently discussed, and the names are now synonymized under U. fuegiana, the more widely distributed species in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Our studies, based on recent collections of Orthotrichaceae from Patagonia, show that specimens different from those of U. fuegiana and agreeing with the protologues of both U. glabella and U. eremitensis are common in Patagonia. Comparisons with type material of all four names demonstrate that the type for U. glabella is in such bad condition that it cannot be used, and an epitype should be selected. In this paper, we comment on the whereabouts of the collection Hooker 141 and the species described from it, discuss the distinct identity of U. glabella and its relationship with U. eremitensis as well as its differentiation from other species, present a diagnostic description of U. glabella and, finally, select an epitype to fix the application of this name.

Published: December 2020

The article discusses the most important quantitative characteristics of the reliability of constructional production line. The reliability of constructional production line, in the general case, is understood as its property to maintain its parameters in permissible, predetermined limits. One of the main parameters of constructional production line is its intensity. In addition, intensity is one of the main indicators characterizing the efficiency of the production line. Generally speaking, efficiency serves as a measure of system productivity taking into account the external environment. Therefore, in a particular case, the reliability of constructional production line can be understood as the stability of its intensity.

La religión judía ha vuelto a tener nuevos adeptos en los jóvenes como consecuencia de no tener referentes en sus inmediatos mayores una expresión profunda de la fidelidad que tuvo siempre el Pueblo de Israel por su Dios: Yahvé. Probablemente toda la historia del pueblo judío, ha atravesado a través de la historia por innumerables y desgraciados acontecimientos que han marcado su vida: desde la salida de la esclavitud de Egipto, comandados por Moisés, guiados por la mano del Señor, durante cuarenta años hasta la llegada a la Tierra prometida, hasta los hechos lamentables, desgraciados que desembocaron en la persecución y exterminio en los campos de concentración nazis durante la década de los 30 y 40 del siglo XX, conocida por todos como la Shoá. Éste, sin duda, puede haber uno de los aspectos que ha incidido hacia una mayor religiosidad en las generaciones actuales._______________________The Jewish Religion has had new young adepts once again as the result of the lack of references from their immediate seniors on a deep expression of the characteristic faithfulness of the People of Israel for their God: Yahweh. It is probable that all the history of the Jewish people, which has passed through a great number of unfortunate moments in history, has leaved a mark in their lives: from the exile of the slavery in Egypt, leaded by Moses and guided by God’s hand during forty years until they arrived to the promised land, until the lamentable and unfortunate facts that ended in their persecution and extermination in the Nazis Concentration Camps during the decades of the 30’s and 40’s of the twenty century, event known as shoa. This fact, without doubt, can be considered one of the main aspects in the growth of a greater religiosity in nowadays generations.

Iron Age peat cutting and ritual depositions in bogs – new evidence from Fuglsøgaard Mose, Denmark
Authors: Mortensen Morten Fischer , Christensen Charlie , Johannesen Karin , Stidsing Ernst , Fiedel Reno , Olsen Jesper
Published: December 2020

With the discovery of peat and gyttja deposits containing archaeological remains, sealed below colluvium, at Fuglsøgaard in eastern Jutland came a rare opportunity to investigate an Iron Age votive bog with abundant traces of peat cutting and subsequent ritual deposition. Pollen analyses show that before, during and after the votive phase, the bog lay in an open cultural landscape surrounded by arable fields and pastures. Around 180 BC, extensive peat extraction commenced in the bog, targeting the well-humified wood peat that could be found in the deeper layers. It is estimated that 250-500 m2 of peat was removed, leaving the bog with numerous small water-filled pits, i.e. peat cuts. These water-filled peat cuts then had a secondary role as elements in votive activities in which ritual depositions were made of pottery vessels, parts of domestic animals, wooden objects, bundles of flax, quantities of white/light-coloured stones etc. More than 130 pottery vessels from period II of the Pre-Roman Iron Age (250-1 BC) have been excavated at the site. All the depositions included white/light-coloured stones, and these appear to have been a general feature of many ritual depositions in votive bogs at this time.
Vers un usage renouvelé de la fiche Ageven dans l’analyse qualitative des biographies
Authors: Cavagnoud Robin , Baillet Julie , Cosío Zavala María Eugenia
Published: December 2020

Cet article rappelle dans un premier temps les fondements de l’approche biographique, le paradigme des parcours de vie qui lui est associé et les origines de la fiche Ageven, outil développé pendant les années 1980 dans le cadre d’enquêtes rétrospectives et de l’analyse démographique des biographies. Nous présentons dans un deuxième temps une version renouvelée à usage qualitatif de cet instrument, en incluant des niveaux d’observation à la fois individuel, familial et contextuel, et en ajoutant le repérage de séquences dans les histoires de vie recueillies, à partir de l’identification des ruptures biographiques. La fiche Ageven, ainsi convertie simultanément en outil de représentation et d’analyse de données biographiques qualitatives, dévoile de larges possibilités d’application sur des problématiques démographiques et sociologiques variées, illustrées par l’exemple de la maternité adolescente au Mexique.
Le rôle de l’environnement dans les maladies diarrhéiques chez l’enfant : l’apport des méthodes mixtes
Authors: Rautu Iulia , Dos Santos Stéphanie , Schoumaker Bruno , Le Hesran Jean-Yves
Published: December 2020

Malgré de nombreux progrès, les maladies diarrhéiques demeurent la principale charge de morbidité chez l’enfant en milieu urbain d’Afrique subsaharienne. Dans ce contexte, la présente étude traite du rôle que joue l’environnement immédiat (du ménage et du quartier) sur la morbidité diarrhéique chez les enfants de 2 à 10 ans vivant dans l’agglomération de Dakar, la capitale du Sénégal. La recherche a adopté une approche de méthodes mixtes et a été menée en deux étapes. La première est quantitative et la seconde, qualitative. Les résultats montrent, premièrement, que les comportements individuels en termes de santé sont souvent une fonction de l’environnement immédiat. Ils révèlent aussi que les indicateurs statistiques couramment utilisés pour mesurer l’assainissement donnent, dans certains cas, une compréhension biaisée des conditions de vie des populations concernées. Ainsi, l’étude illustre comment la triangulation des approches quantitative et qualitative permet d’obtenir une image plus fiable de ces aspects et de pallier les sources de biais inhérentes à chacune des approches. Elle avance aussi les bénéfices liés au fait de baser la construction de l’instrument quantitatif sur un volet qualitatif exploratoire, afin de mieux adapter les informations chiffrées aux conditions spécifiques de vie des individus et des ménages.
Dilemmes des médecins traitants lors du retour au travail de personnes aux prises avec un trouble mental courant : illustration par des vignettes cliniques
Authors: Boileau-Falardeau Fabienne , Turcotte Jean-Robert , Lafleur Paul-André , Corbière Marc
Published: December 2020

Introduction Les troubles mentaux courants (TMC) sont une des causes majeures d’invalidité au travail dans le monde. Plusieurs études démontrent que plus la durée de l’arrêt de travail est longue, plus minces sont les chances que la personne avec un TMC retourne au travail. Il est donc important que l’arrêt de travail soit d’une durée adéquate pour permettre à l’individu un rétablissement durable tout en diminuant les risques de rechute. Les médecins traitants ont un rôle important à jouer dans le cadre de la reprise professionnelle des personnes avec un TMC.

Objectif Cet article a comme principal objectif de présenter des vignettes cliniques supportées par la littérature relativement à la gestion par les médecins traitants de la reprise professionnelle de leurs patients avec un TMC.

Méthodologie Issues d’expériences cliniques, 3 vignettes cliniques illustrant plusieurs dilemmes que des médecins traitants peuvent rencontrer lors de la reprise professionnelle de leurs patients avec un TMC sont présentées. Les dilemmes sont soutenus par des articles publiés entre 2000 à 2020, provenant des bases de données Medline et PsycInfo.

Résultats et discussion Les 3 vignettes portent sur les dilemmes relatifs aux thèmes suivants : 1) l’évaluation du potentiel thérapeutique des arrêts de travail ; 2) le rôle d’expert octroyé aux médecins traitants et au processus d’évaluation de la capacité à travailler ; 3) les aspects administratifs liés à cette évaluation ; 4) la relation thérapeutique médecin-patient. La littérature nous indique que ce sont des dilemmes récurrents chez les médecins traitants dans le contexte de la gestion de la reprise professionnelle à la suite d’un TMC.

Conclusion La gestion des arrêts maladie chez les travailleurs avec un TMC par les médecins traitants comporte plusieurs dilemmes. Ces dilemmes mettent en lumière, entre autres, l’importance pour les médecins traitants de travailler en collaboration avec les autres acteurs et d’obtenir leur soutien et collaboration. Ces observations nous amènent à conduire une revue plus systématique de l’expérience des médecins traitants et de leurs besoins.
Comparing across languages in corpus and discourse analysis: some issues and approaches
Authors: Taylor Charlotte , del Fante* Dario
Published: December 2020

Corpus-assisted discourse studies is, by its nature, interdisciplinary. However, this need to reach across borders becomes even more salient when we study discourses across languages, and this represents a natural intersection with translation studies. The aim of this paper is to reflect on the issue of comparison in cross-linguistic corpus-assisted discourse studies, positing a series of key questions including: How do we compare across or within corpora containing different languages? How do we identify meaningful language units for comparison in this context? How do we know that we are comparing like with like? Using a series of case studies, we start by addressing how we can approach comparison at the lexical level. We then move on to consider methods which allow us to abstract above the lexical level using three case studies which illustrate the use of semantic fields, discourse frames and rhetorical features. By presenting some issues and partial solutions regarding comparison across and within multilingual corpora, we hope to initiate a productive discussion in which we will also be able to collectively enrich and inform this set of resources.

Este artículo es parte de una investigación que tiene como objetivo comprender la forma en que se construye la identidad docente en los programas de formación del profesorado de música en Chile. Se expone el caso de una titulación para ilustrar una formación basada en principios críticos y políticos, la cual permitiría la construcción de una identidad activista. Presentamos, en primer lugar, las identidades que emergen en un contexto de control sobre la profesión docente, para luego exponer algunas condiciones en la formación del profesorado para el florecimiento de la identidad activista. Explicamos brevemente el planteamiento metodológico, para finalmente entregar evidencias del caso, a partir de documentos oficiales, entrevistas, grupo de discusión y observaciones. Estas evidencias nos permiten concluir que el territorio formativo del caso, que pone en su centro la integración curricular, investigación educativa, autonomía didáctica, la reconstrucción de la historia del profesorado y los espacios democráticos, interdisciplinares y movilizados, permitiría el florecimiento de una identidad políticamente comprometida y que más que técnica es propositiva.

Published: December 2020

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo conocer la adecuación de la planificación que por escrito ofrecen las universidades españolas en relación a la formación del profesorado de música de Educación Secundaria a las demandas de la escuela y el aula de música en la sociedad y economía del conocimiento. Para ello, realizamos un análisis documental comparado de los planes de estudio de 26 Másteres en Profesorado que ofrecen la especialidad de música en el territorio español. Planteamos los resultados tanto de manera general, describiendo denominaciones, competencias, estructuras y créditos de los planes de estudio; como de manera específica, definiendo tipologías en las materias de los módulos específico musical y Prácticum. Concluimos que ciertos planes de estudio promueven la construcción de capacidades fundamentales para dar respuesta a la sociedad y economía del conocimiento, como la reflexividad colegiada y la interdisciplinariedad, el pensamiento creativo y el emprendimiento, la integración tecnológica y la innovación, así como la sensibilidad sobre temas sociales. Si bien no es actualmente la orientación universitaria más habitual, pues todavía los planes de estudios están centrados en la adaptación y la perpetuación de modelos eminentemente academicistas, permite ofrecer una visión positiva de apuesta hacia una formación del profesorado deseable para todos los planes docentes.
Secuenciación y temporalización de los planes de estudio de la Mención de Música del Grado en Educación Primaria en las universidades españolas
Authors: Fernández Jiménez Antonio , Valdivia Sevilla Francisco Alfonso
Published: December 2020

La normativa que regula los planes de estudio que forman a las futuras Graduadas en Educación Primaria recoge un módulo destinado a la formación en diferentes menciones, entre ellas, una para Música. Sin embargo, es cada universidad la que estructura la mención en cuanto a las asignaturas que la conforman, la secuencia de éstas y la temporalización dentro del plan de estudio en general. Mediante un análisis cualitativo de los planes de estudio de las universidades españolas que han ofertado la Mención de Música en el curso académico 2019/2020, se detalla la secuencia y temporalización de cada uno de los planes de estudio de la Mención. Los resultados muestran un triple modelo en cuanto a la estructura temporal de la Mención, quedando unos articulados desde el 2º hasta el 4º curso, otros durante los cursos 3º y 4º, y un tercer grupo que recoge la Mención solo en el 4º curso. Además de ese triple modelo encontrado, se aprecia una destacable diversidad en cuanto a las asignaturas optativas que conforman la Mención, los créditos europeos de las mismas o el enfoque de la asignatura de formación didáctico y disciplinar en el ámbito de la Educación Musical.
La actualidad de la distinción entre fenómeno y cosa en sí para la fenomenología. Los diferences significados de la cosa en sí en Kant y Husserl.
Authors: Breuer Irene
Published: December 2020

Kant’s and Husserl’s philosophies both ground on the distinction between the things in themselves and the phenomenon. While for Kant, this distinction rests in the respective faculties and the mediating function of imagination, for Husserl it is a function of the perceptual process itself. Concerning the thing in itself, its main sense for Kant is that of noumenon or intelligible being, while for Husserl it is mainly the ideal of the adequate givenness of a particular reality of the thing. This contribution aims at developping Husserl’s critical reformulation of Kant’s thing in itself by analysing its different senses and interpretations at both authors.
Kant and Baumgarten on positing. Kant's notion of positing as a response to that of Baumgarten
Authors: Sala Lorenzo
Published: December 2020

In the literature on Kant’s philosophy, it is almost universally ignored that Baumgarten used the notion of positing in a technical sense before Kant. In this article, I try to fill this gap in the literature by providing an analysis of Kant’s notion of positing in relation to Baumgarten’s one. I first show how Kant's differentiation of relative and absolute positing is not simply an alternative to Baumgarten's notion of existence, but is instead an alternative to his (usually ignored) notion of positing; I then develop a positive account of Kant’s notion of positing.
La influencia de Pierre Bayle en la construcción de la segunda antinomia de la razón pura
Authors: Perrone Daniel
Published: December 2020

This paper aims to establish precisely the scope of Pierre Bayle’s influence on the construction of Kant’s second antinomy of pure reason, since there is a remarkable parallelism between this second cosmological conflict and the argument against extension of the article “Zeno of Elea” of Bayle’s Dictionary. It is argued that Bayle, employing the skeptical method in metaphysical research, has a major influence on the construction of the main arguments of the second antinomy and sets a precedent for its logical solution.

At the same time, the war communism method of mobilization of industrial production implemented specific measures of financial incentives for workers. It included the guaranteed minimum of means for each employee, bargain-collective forms of bonuses, and simultaneously, directive allocation of major operations and byworks with due remuneration. The contradictory combination of all these methods of financial incentives ensured a specific effectiveness criterion reflected in the material items of military consumption.
