“They declared war and made their decision to prefer might to right”: Thucydides on the use of force among states
Authors: Araújo Marcelo
Published: November 2020

When we think of the contributions made by the ancient Greek, the philosophy of Socrates and Plato, the plays by Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes, or the historical thinking of Herodotus and Thucydides may come to or minds. Between the fifth and fourth centuries BCE, Athens set the stage for unprecedented cultural developments in the history of humankind. However, we sometimes forget that the historical period in which these authors lived and produced their masterpieces was also a time of war and plague. Some way or other, all these authors participated in the Peloponnesian War. And the Athenians, who were a major power at the beginning of the conflict, emerged as the defeated party in the end.The main source of information we have about the Peloponnesian War is Thucydides’ work known as the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides took an active part in the war as a general on the Athenian side. But after failing to protect a city, of strategic value for the Athenians, he lost his position as a general and was forced into exile. It is in the exile, then, that Thucydides writes the Peloponnesian War, seeking to take into consideration the accounts provided by all parties involved in the conflict. The text, though, remained unfinished. And it is unclear whether the order of chapters, as displayed in most modern editions, matches Thucydides’ original plan. It is not my intention here to examine the structure of the Peloponnesian War as a whole. My goal is far more modest: I intend to focus only on a few specific passages in which Thucydides discusses the causes of war and the reasons for violent conflict among human beings.

En annen kompetanse? Den norske dosenten i et kriterie- og kompetanseperspektiv
Authors: Bachke Carl Christian , Andersen Anders Johan W.
Published: October 2020

This chapter explores the criteria for promotion to docent (dosent in Norwegian), a variant of the professor position. The criteria are based on a different path of qualification to a top academic position where neither a PhD nor a specific number of referee-assessed research articles are required. Four questions are discussed in the chapter: 1) What characterizes the docent position? 2) What kinds of competence does a docent possess? 3) Why do academic institutions need docents? 4) Do the flexible interpretations of the promotion criteria represent challenges? The authors’ answers to these questions show that docents are expected to possess a wider repertoire of competences than a professor does. These different skills are valuable assets for the academic institution, but there is still more potential to be realized.

Avsluttende oppfordringer
Authors: Bachke Carl Christian , Hermansen Mads
Published: October 2020

In this call-to-action chapter, Roar C. Pettersen’s reflections in chapter 16 serve as a starting point for summarizing some of the general issues in the book that should be of interest not only to docents, but also other actors in the academic field. Seven points are touched on. (1) The poorly defined docent position, and (2) the constant pro and con discussions associated with the position; (3) the didactic competence of the docents as a key to improved quality of teaching; (4) the differing career ladders of professor and docent seen as an advantage or a challenge, and (5) how to galvanize synergy; (6) who within the landscape of higher education is responsible for implementing change; and (7) how to increase recruitment of docents. The editors do not present clear answers or easy solutions. Rather, they openly invite discussion on these issues. At the same time, they envision a climate in which professors and docents join hands in the same research project as a wishful way to bridge the gap between the two positions, and thereby create synergy.
Den tilfeldige dosent. Fra praktisk reformering av høgskolestudier via lærebokpublisering til forskning og faglitterært forfatterskap
Authors: Pettersen Roar C.
Published: October 2020

This chapter is a personal narrative of the author’s career path from secondary school via teacher’s education and master level in pedagogics to docent (professor) in university didactics. This career was unplanned. It occurred more incidentally over time. Much of the narrative recounts how educational reforms pushed the author to expand his attention from routine lecture work to practically implementing problem-based teaching methods that subsequently led to publishing textbooks with relevance for the didactics of higher education. This progression also marked a starting point for his career as a didactical researcher. All in all, this achievement made it possible for the author to apply for promotion to professor/docent. The assessment committee confirmed that he was well qualified. Some of the committee’s arguments are also discussed in the article.

Prospective Analysis of Commercial Relations
Authors: López Alcívar Francisco Javier
Published: October 2020

Although international trade generates benefits over wealth and it also provides access to new and better products, it is considered as one of the causes of inequality in the world, as wealth flows are mostly concentrated in the owners of capital. In this document an analysis of the exchange relations between Ecuador and China is carried out; the evidence shows an open specialization of these nations towards products with little added value and high added value respectively. This productive approach has resulted in a deficit trade balance for Ecuador. The maintenance of this productive structure may mean for Ecuador a stagnation of its national industry because the leap towards a more modern economy is not privileged, but rather a refocusing of the Ecuadorian production is encouraged. This study has a quantitative and descriptive methodological orientation, it uses secondary information collected in the WTO Trade Map tool. The results suggest that, given the asymmetric characteristics of the bilateral relations between Ecuador and China, it is necessary to proceed with the signing of trade agreements, based on the most favored nation terms, where the easy access of Ecuador to China's primary market is protected on the one hand, and on the other hand, the development of economic complementation projects based on the technological transfer that allows the construction of a major basic industry in Ecuador.

The Safe and Effective Use of Lumbar Epidural for the Surgical Management of a Femoral Neck Fracture in a Patient with Progressed Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): A Case Report
Authors: Anthony Mina , Jurcik Charlota , Korban Anna , Discepola Patrick , Anthony Christy , Kwon Minho , Eloy Jean Daniel
Published: October 2020

Objective: Because of the limited publications on the appropriate anesthetic management of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), this manuscript is a means of providing outcome data on the use of epidural anesthesia in an ALS patient and to discuss the risks and benefits of neuraxial anesthesia in these individuals. Background: ALS is a debilitating neuromuscular disease that arises from destruction of large upper and lower motor neurons. Patients develop weakness of their peripheral muscles that can progress to include intrinsic muscles of the airway and oropharynx, which creates a challenge when determining the safest anesthetic plan and considerations for the post-operative course. Case: The case discusses a 78-year-old female with a longstanding history of ALS, for which she required noninvasive mechanical ventilatory support and gastrostomy tube feedings secondary to oropharyngeal and upper respiratory muscle weakness and atrophy. The patient presented for orthopedic repair of a femoral fracture. She underwent epidural anesthesia successfully without any exacerbation of her lower extremity weakness. Conclusion: Regional anesthesia in ALS patients appears to be a safe means of delivering intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia without compromising baseline functional status. This may be a superior technique to general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation, particularly in patients who already suffer from dysphagia and respiratory compromise.

Running out of words: tactics for maintaining conversation
among Russian-German bilinguals
Authors: Meng Katharina , Protassova Ekaterina
Published: October 2020

The study combines analysis of social interaction between bilingual RussianGerman speakers competent in the two languages to different degrees with assessment of the levels of oral and written proficiency of the young Russian Germans who came as small children to Germany or were born here. This is a part of

a larger longitudinal project dedicated to the linguistic integration of the Russian

Germans in Germany conducted since shortly after their arrival as repartees to

the historical homeland. The communication took place at the family home after

25 years of immigration. It was interesting to discover bilingual practices and

means that are in use to achieve certain goals of communication. Questions were

asked about different aspects of their life and their attitudes toward the previous

and actual situation. The peculiarities of the oral and written German as well as

of the oral Russian and of the ability to read were tested and analyzed. The results obtained allow to understand bilingual development of children, now young

adults, without systematical support for the literacy in the Russian language.

Even if they hear a lot of Russian from their relatives, it is not important to maintain the language and they do not make additional efforts to do it. This is an outcome of the family language policy and the consequences of parents’ comunicative practices.
Xenonarrative texts in literary and narrative communication: functional and pragmatic approach
Authors: Kulikova Ludmila Viktorovna , Mikalauskaite Elizaveta Iuliponasovna
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the pragmatic analysis of literary xeno-narrative – a special type of literary and narrative communication that implements specific communicative functions and strategies aimed at discursive processing of cultural and linguistic otherness. The discursive processing of cultural otherness is understood as a process of verbal reflection of foreign cultural experience in literary xeno-narrative based on multilevel language means and understanding of the cultural and conventional norms of another linguistic culture in order to minimize the stress of intercultural adaptation. The paper defines the essential features of xeno-narrative, defined as a literary narrative, thematically immersed in the discourse of intercultural interaction, pragmatically reflecting the method of discursive processing of cultural foreignness and intentionally aimed at verbal transfer of mental experience from the author to the reader in the format of literary and narrative communication. The use of discursive, contextual and intent analysis of narrative allowed us to identify functionally and pragmatically determined linguistic and cultural conventions means of discursive processing in xeno-narrative. The following functions of xenonarrative were determined: minimizing the stress of cultural adaptation and verbal transfer of mental experience. In addition, three author’s strategies in literary xeno-narrative were described. The otherness identification strategy includes several trajectories for evaluating the friend / foe categories: “friend” can be connected both positively and negatively, “foe” is hostile at the initial stage of adaptation, but assimilation mitigates negative evaluation semes. The strategy of language acculturation is analyzed in the focus of the secondary language personality formation. The subjectification strategy is aimed at the most complete perception of the system of author's meanings and images, as well as at the reader’s emotional involvement and empathy. Conclusions in the work are made on the basis of the texts of literary xeno-narratives “Die undankbare Fremde” by I. Brezhna and “Girl in translation” by J. Kwok, as well as the electronic corps of Russian, English and German readers' reviews.

Formation of National Positions on EU Legislative Proposals in Slovenia: What Role for Civil Society Organizations?
Authors: Lajh Damjan , Novak Meta
Published: November 2020

This article considers the EU policymaking process from the national perspective, emphasizing the involvement of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the process of formulating national positions prior to negotiations in the Council of the EU. Its scope is limited to the stagist model of policy analysis, focusing on the policy formulation stage and 20 of the most salient EU legislative proposals on the EU agenda between 2008 and 2010. It is argued that Slovenia seems to neglect the expertise and information held by CSOs during the process of forming national positions. The current system for coordinating EU affairs anticipates only a narrow role for CSOs. The national position is typically formed at a lower bureaucratic level and based on the European Commission’s proposal. While national officials recognize the benefits of including CSOs in the whole process, they are afraid of greater work, more bureaucratic processes, and corruption
Time Capital in Strategic Planning and Sustainable Management
Authors: Preda Marian , Matei Ștefania
Published: November 2020

In this paper we propose an emerging vocabulary to approach strategic planning and sustainable management in terms of time capital at four levels of analysis: (1) individual, (2) microsocial, (3) mesosocial, and (4) macrosocial. Besides proposing a taxonomical granularity, the paper brings conceptual clarifications by using equations as cognitive resources, as well as by discussing issues of convertibility between time capital and other forms of capital (economic, human, social and cultural capital). A paradigm of time capital has significant implications for administrative measures and strategic management. Moreover, such a paradigm might guide the practice of sustainable planning by providing information in the decision-making process. Last but not least, a paradigm of time capital integrates forms of mathematical intelligibility in which the social world is shown as a predictable and controllable universe with effects on the manner in which material and symbolic resources are distributed across individuals, groups and communities.
Demand Elasticity for Local Public Transport in Polish Cities: Do Local Policies Matter?
Authors: Swianiewicz Paweł , Brzóska Agata
Published: November 2020

Since 1990, the number of local public transport passengers has been steadily decreasing with a simultaneous increase in the number of residents using individual transport. Since that process has contributed to an increase in traffic congestion and the deterioration of air quality in cities, local governments have tried to reverse that negative trend. A few years now, a reversal of this trend has been observed in some cities. This article, using data on the number of passengers in over 80 Polish cities, presents regression models explaining the factors influencing the demand for public transport services, and it estimates the demand elasticity related to various independent variables. The explanatory model refers both to the features of the cities’ socio-economic environment and to the organization of the service. The results indicate that local policies matter: the density of the public transport network is the most important factor in relation to the volume of demand, while the ticket price level is almost irrelevant. Demand is also clearly increasing in the largest cities, but the relationship between demand and population size is not a linear one.
Asian Philanthropy in 2020: An Analysis of the Li Ka Shing Foundation as a Positive Force for Good
Authors: Cheong Matthias
Published: October 2020

2020 has seen human society encounter some tremendous difficulties. COVID-19 has devastated lives and societies. In such a climate, it is even more important for humanity to focus on philanthropic efforts to uplift the most vulnerable in society. While much has been written about philanthropic organisations in the West, there is little written on Asia given its nascent status in giving and philanthropy. However, one strong example that can serve as a positive force in the region is the Li Ka Shing foundation, which focuses on education, healthcare, and the reduction of poverty. This paper highlights the Li Ka Shing foundation’s growth in Asia, analyses its strategies, and offers it as an example for others to emulate in the hopes that more will step forward in what is a difficult time for humankind.

O coro de Coéforas: alimentar a vingança e partilhar o remorso
Authors: Silva Maria de Fátima
Published: October 2020

O coro de Coéforas tem sido considerado como um dos exemplos de intervenção dramática mais activa no teatro de Ésquilo.

El coro satírico y su función en las tramas satíricas esquileas. Notas sobre la gestualidad del coro y el rol actancial de Sileno en Arrastradores de redes
Authors: De Santis Guillermo
Published: October 2020

El presente artículo intenta mostrar algunos aspectos del rol dramático y la función escénica del coro en la producción satírica de Esquilo, específicamente en el Fr. 47 a R, versos 821-832. La hipótesis del trabajo sostiene que este canto coral debe entenderse en dependencia de la anterior canción de Sileno, versos 802-820, par estrófico con el cual muestra una evidente relación temática de complementariedad. Desde el punto de vista escénico, la imbricación del Coro en la trama satírica es directa, al punto que asume un rol actancial que posibilita un esquema de integración y separación de Sileno en el acción coral alternando como corifeo y actor.

La interacción entre ambos pasajes líricos no solo se constataría en la temática y en la lengua sino también en la gestualidad del coro, respecto de lo cual se propone entender algunos indicadores gestuales que permiten organizar la escena.
