Роль носителей знаний о каноническом праве в становлении мирского (светского) юридического образования в России
Authors: Баган Владислав Владимирович
Published: January 2024

Правовая наука на протяжении истории формирования высшего образовании в России претерпела множество изменений и влияний. Научный массив юриспруденции созидался на основании комплексного воздействия исторического, гуманитарного, этического знания. Однако факт влияния отечественных специалистов в сфере канонического права на развитие юридического образования в России недостаточно изучен. Цель настоящей статьи – выявить специфику воздействия восточно-христианской этики и канонического права Русской Православной Церкви на состояние отечественной правовой системы. В результате исследования было выявлено лексическое проникновение, отражающее профессиональное языковое единство в генезисе обеих ветвей образования правоведов; пересечение источниковых массивов; взаимное проникновение учебно-методических обеспечений преподавания; преподавание профессорско-преподавательским составом церковных духовных учебных заведений в государственных императорских университетах, лицеях и юридических школах (и наоборот).

Published: January 2024

Цель исследования заключается в выявлении факторов и механизмов, влияющих на развитие внутрироссийской академической мобильности студенческой молодежи, а также саморегуляционных оснований мобильности, их связи с более широкими представлениями молодежи об образовании. В результате  выявлено, что формат межвузовской академической мобильности студентов в России находится на стадии становления. Институциональное регулирование данного процесса проявляется в наличии формальных законодательных норм для сетевых обменов и создании в вузах организационных условий, связанных с возможностью построения индивидуальных образовательных траекторий, финансирования перемещений и проживания иногородних студентов, создания гибких образовательных планов. Специфика саморегуляции жизнедеятельности молодежи проявляется в высоких установках на миграцию в другие российские регионы, особенно распространенных среди студентов.
Aplikasi Beberapa Rekomendasi Pemupukan Dan Dampaknya Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Produksi Jagung Pulut (Zea mays ceratina L.)
Authors: Nurdin Linda , Rukka Hermaya , Kaharuddin Kaharuddin
Published: January 2024

Tanaman jagung membutuhkan unsur hara yang cukup untuk mendukung pertumbuhannya, tetapi seringkali dalam praktiknya, pemupukan dilakukan dengan dosis yang tidak sesuai dengan fase pertumbuhan tanaman, sehingga pertumbuhan tanaman menjadi terganggu dan produksi yang diperoleh tidak optimal. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Desa Samangki, Kecamatan Simbang, Kabupaten Maros, dari Maret sampai dengan Juni 2020. Penelitian disusun berdasarkan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) yang terdiri atas 3 perlakuan, yaitu P0 (pemupukan berdasarkan kebiasaan petani, sebagai kontrol), P1 (Pemupukan berdasarkan KATAM Terpadu), dan P2 (Pemupukan berdasarkan bagan warna daun, BWD). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemupukan berdasarkan BWD menghasilkan tinggi tanaman tertinggi, pada 14 HST (39,17 cm), 28 HST (113,33 cm), dan 35 HST (175,67 cm) dan berbeda nyata dengan pemupukan berdasarkan kebiasaan petani. Begitu juga pada jumlah daun, pemupukan berdasarkan BWD tertinggi pada 21 HST (6,40 helai), 28 HST (8,00 helai), dan 35 HST (8,73 helai) dan berbeda nyata dengan pemupukan berdasarkan kebiasaan petani. Pemupukan berdasarkan KATAM Terpadu memberikan hasil berat segar tertinggi yaitu (120,53 g plot-1), walaupun berbeda tidak nyata dengan pemupukan berdasarkan BWD (105,00 g plot-1) tetapi berbeda nyata dengan pemupukan berdasarkan kebiasaan petani (84,55 g plot-1).
Exploring the conceptualization of Audit Justice and its effects on Audit Satisfaction : Focused on the Moderating Effect of Generation
Authors:   Korean Association For Corruption Studies, Kim Yong Sun
Published: January 2024

This study aims to explore the conceptualization of audit justice based on the existing concept of organizational justice and its theoretical underpinnings. Furthermore, this study analyzes the effects of audit justice perception on audit satisfaction of organizational members and examines the moderating effect of generational differences.
As a result of the analysis is as follows. First, the concept audit justice is classified in three categories : audit distributive justice, audit procedural justice, audit interactional justice. Second, audit distributive justice and audit procedural justice perception have a significant positive(+) effect on audit satisfaction. Third, generational differences moderate only the relationship between audit distributive justice perception and audit satisfaction.
These findings show the importance of audit justice as an internal audit strategy to achieve audit satisfaction and suggests that internal auditors should consider generational differences throughout the audit process.
A Study on the Use of Anti-Corruption Policy in Behavioral Economics: Focusing on the integrity effort evaluation
Authors:   Korean Association For Corruption Studies, Chang Jin Hee
Published: January 2024

This study is a cursory study to introduce the perspective of behavioral economics in anti-corruption policy studies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the evaluation of anti-corruption policies using the heuristics of behavioral economics as an analysis tool.
Since AIA is Korea's representative anti-corruption policy that evaluates anti-corruption efforts of 629 institutions, it is necessary to analyze the process and contents that have been reorganized for 20 years since 2002. This study analyzed the evaluation system such as AIA's promotion system, analyzed major heuristics and biases as tools for detailed evaluation indicators, and suggested improvement plans. Availability heuristic, representativeness heuristic, affect heuristic, anchoring effect, framing effect, priming effect, hindsight bias were mainly used in this study.
Affect heuristic and anchoring effect were found in the evaluation system and analysis of the evaluation participants. Next, detailed indicators were analyzed through the process of changing evaluation indicators, and the expansion and reinforcement of evaluation indicators such as “protection of corruption and public interest reporters” and “public-private cooperation and governance” were recently reduced or deleted.
Overall, it was proposed to operate in a careful and flexible model in consideration of H in the evaluation index.
Finally, an example of heuristics that can be used to design evaluation indicators is presented, and research that can be used for institutional anti-corruption policies such as selective design using heuristics is presented as a future task.
THERMOLUMINESCENT AND DOSIMETRIC PROPERTIES OF ZIRCONIUM DIOXIDE CERAMICS IRRADIATED WITH HIGH DOSES OF PULSE ELECTRON BEAM

Published: January 2024

The paper presents the results of a study of thermoluminescent (TL) and dosimetric properties of monoclinic zirconium dioxide ceramics of two types: synthesized by sintering in an electric furnace at T = 700–1700 °C and in a flow of high-energy electrons (1.4 MeV) with a high power density. It has been established that annealing of ceramics of the first type at T>1000 °C leads to a significant increase in the crystallite size, which correlates with a significant increase in the intensity of the TL peak at 390 K after irradiation of the samples with high doses (on the order of kGy) of a pulsed electron beam (130 keV). Type 2 ceramics synthesized by the electron beam method have the maximum TL response. The work also discusses the patterns of influence of synthesis conditions on the kinetic parameters of TL and the nonlinearity coefficients of dose dependencies. The presence of an intense isolated TL peak, the sublinear nature of most dose dependencies, and negligible fading indicate the promise of the ceramics synthesized in this work for measuring high doses (several to tens of kGy).

Thin films of ABO3 perovskite ferroelectrics are important for many industrial applications, i.e., high-capacity memory cells, catalysis, optical waveguides, and integrated optics. The use of BaTiO3 for these industries and products is due to the variety of its surface structure and, accordingly, its electronic and chemical properties. Calculations of the surface characteristics of BaTiO3 from the first principles are useful for understanding processes that play a crucial role, such as surface reaction chemistry, surface phenomena, and adsorption surfaces. This study examined theoretical calculations related to the relaxed atomic structures of the surface of BaTiO3 (111).

Factors Influencing Mutual Fund Performance: Manager Skill, Fees, Fund Size, and Market Conditions
Authors: G. Thiyagarajan Et. al
Published: January 2024

Mutual fund performance depends on many things, including the fund manager's skill. Investors must evaluate a manager's past performance, investment strategy, and market adaptability to make informed investment decisions. Remember that past performance does not guarantee future outcomes, and knowing the fund's strategy and manager's approach is crucial for investing. Mutual fund performance depends on fees. Investors should evaluate a fund's management fees, loads, and other charges to determine their influence on returns. Active vs. passive funds and fee transparency can also affect investment decisions. Fund size affects performance differently depending on kind and market. Larger funds may face style drift, liquidity concerns, and operational hazards notwithstanding economies of scale. Investors should carefully analyse a fund's characteristics, investment approach, and how its size may affect its goals. Mutual fund evaluation should also include manager expertise, costs, and historical performance. Investors must examine market dynamics and mutual funds' responses. Making informed investment selections requires understanding the macroeconomic climate, global events, and a fund's capacity to traverse changing market conditions. Investors should also match their investing goals and risk tolerance with the funds they buy, considering more than previous performance.The main goal of the research is toidentify &analyse factors which influence mutual fund performance in the context of manager Skill, fees, fund size, and market conditions.
The distributional impact of fiscal measures to compensate for consumer inflation in Greece in 2022
Authors:   Bank of Greece, Flevotomou Maria
Published: January 2024

This paper analyses the distributional implications of consumer inflation in Greece and of the fiscal measures adopted to cushion its adverse impact on households in 2022. The analysis employs the tax-benefit microsimulation model for the European Union (EUROMOD) to study how inflation, income support measures, as well as measures aimed at containing prices affected households’ purchasing power and welfare across the income distribution. The study confirms that the purchasing power of lower-income households was more severely affected by the 2022 inflation surge than that of higher-income households, resulting in the so-called inflation gap. The unequal impact of inflation was further magnified by the high shares of consumption in the income of the poorer, resulting in a welfare loss differential of 9.2 percentage points between the bottom and the top income decile. The adverse distributional impact of the inflationary shock was largely offset by government policies, with a welfare loss of only 2.9% remaining for the population as a whole. Fiscal measures were shown to close the inflation gap and mitigated the welfare loss differential between the poor and the rich to just 0.7 percentage points. Price measures were dominant vis-à-vis their income counterparts in compensating for welfare losses across the income distribution and, most interestingly, had a significant progressive impact largely driven by the electricity subsidy, as the support provided was inversely related to consumption. However, given that they were not as well-targeted to low-income households, they were relatively cost-inefficient when compared with income measures. Nonetheless, the efficiency advantage of income measures may be severely undermined in the presence of extensive tax evasion, which points not only to the need for a careful design of targeted measures, but also to complementarities with structural reforms fighting tax evasion.

A giant colloid cyst of the third ventricle: A case report
Authors: Nadia Boujida , Ola Messaoud , Amal Lahfidi , Ech-Chrif Najwa Kettani , Meriem Fikri , Firdaous Touarsa
Published: January 2024

Colloid cysts of the third ventricle constitute approximately 1% of all intracranial tumors, and they represent the most prevalent form of neuro-epithelial cysts. They are rare, benign cystic lesions with a wide clinical spectrum, but headache is usually dominant. A large cyst may appear in conjunction with an intracranial hypertension syndrome. Additionally, they can induce obstructive hydrocephalus, resulting in rapid acute neurological decline and, in some cases, sudden death. In this study, our aim is to present the clinical manifestations and radiological features of a giant recurrent colloid cyst of the third ventricle by presenting a case of a 55-year-old female patient, reporting a 2-month history of progressively worsening intracranial hypertension syndrome. The focus is specifically placed on the importance of prompt diagnosis and management to prevent potential life-threatening complications. Minimally invasive modalities, like stereotactic cyst aspiration and neuroendoscopy, are now the preferred techniques of management but present a higher rate of recurrence. Awareness of this condition for early diagnosis and management is fundamental for a better prognosis and patient care.

Authors:   Management University of Africa, Warinda Enock
Published: January 2024

The study examined the influence of corporate leadership on the performance of Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), utilizing theories of organizational excellence, upper echelons, and stakeholder. The study utilized a mixed-methods design with a pragmatic philosophy to reduce biases. It specifically targeted 75 management organs, with a focus on 60 directors and 188 top leadership members. The study employed cross-sectional survey to examine quantitative relationships, while qualitative perceptions were obtained through interpretive phenomenological analysis. The thorough examination, utilizing a composite regression model, revealed the significant effect of corporate leadership on KALRO's performance. The ANOVA results strongly supported the significant effect of corporate leadership on KALRO's performance by ruling out the null hypothesis that corporate leadership has no significant effect. Engaging in telephone discussions with the respondents who expressed apprehension resolved the primary constraint of the confidentiality of data. Suggested actions involve giving priority to achieving gender diversity, enhancing leadership development, conducting frequent performance evaluations, integrating monitoring and evaluation systems into regular operations, and enhancing communication. The study seeks to provide KALRO's leadership with guidance in making well-informed decisions in the face of conflicting priorities in the country.

Empirical Investigation of the Efficiency of Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger as a Preheater in the Regeneration System of Liquid Calcium Chloride (CaCl2)
Authors: Fahlovi Oldy , Avista Zeluyvenca
Published: January 2024

The use of air conditioning (AC) systems has greatly improved human comfort since the 20th century. However, challenges like the greenhouse effect, global warming, and increased energy consumption pose significant problems. To address these issues, a common solution is the use of desiccants to absorb air humidity, though regenerating them with a boiler requires additional energy. This study investigates the application of Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger (HPHE) to harness wasted heat as a preheating medium in a regeneration system. Solutions of calcium chloride (CaCl2) desiccants, ranging in concentrations of 36%, 49%, and 62%, coupled with flow rates of 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 liters per minute, were employed to evaluate both the effectiveness and the visual quality of the regeneration system. Results showed the highest temperature difference with a 62% concentration desiccant at a flow rate of 0.15 liters/minute, approximately ±2.35°C. The regenerator and dehumidifier achieved peak effectiveness at a concentration of 62% and a flow rate of 0.2 lpm, recording values of 23.56% and 45.31%, respectively. This research proposes a practical solution for recovering wasted heat in AC regeneration systems, reducing energy consumption, and improving desiccant utilization efficiency.
Benefits of Psychoanalysis Support Therapy on a Cognitive Dysfunction Process: A Systematic Review and a Meta-Analysis
Authors: Ramos Ana Passos
Published: January 2024

This case study depicts a 66-year-old retired man with bipolar disorder, exhibiting the loss of cognitive functions (specially working memory), in a cognitive dysfunction process. Upon the medical exams and Neuropsychological evaluation results, an intervention programme was created, based on exercises of perception, attention, memory, language, among others, to help the patient to preserve the remaining cognitive functions. However, the analyst learned with the patient, picked up his cues and changed the intervention method. After seven months of psychoanalysis support therapy, with the free association method, the patient felt recognized, and showed results from the impact of his emotions’ resonance inside the analyst in the “here and now” experience. Gradually he moved from the schizo-paranoid position into the depressive one, reinforcing different parts of the self in his identity process. At the same time, he improved his executive functions showing an organized and planning thought and, above all, he realised the way he wanted to be remembered which helped him to build better relationships and to find more significance in the forgetting experience.

Costruire un catalogo di letteratura straniera: leggere, valutare, tradurre
Authors: Sullam Sara
Published: January 2024

In che modo arrivavano in Italia le letterature del Sud del Mondo? Situandosi all’interno dell’osservatorio editoriale, questo breve articolo si concentra su tre aspetti della ricezione delle opere di scrittori delle ex-colonie da parte dell’editoria milanese nel periodo 1945-1970. L’articolo si concentra su tre aspetti particolari: (i) sull’importanza della mappa degli scambi editoriali; (ii) sul momento della selezione e della valutazione dei testi da tradurre, (iii) sulle figure di professionisti (lettori, traduttori) che costituiscono la ‘comunità di lettura’ delle letterature del Sud del Mondo nel periodo considerato.
L’Africa a Milano. Tre romanzi africani nell’editoria milanese degli anni Cinquanta
Authors: Iannaccaro Giuliana
Published: January 2024

Le pagine che seguono presentano un percorso di esplorazione di alcuni romanzi scritti in lingua inglese da autori originari del continente africano e selezionati dall’editoria milanese negli anni Cinquanta – un decennio che consente di osservare gli esordi di un panorama editoriale in rapida evoluzione. Dopo la fine della guerra, alla curiosità per l’esotico e l’avventuroso si aggiunge – per gli intellettuali, gli editori, e anche per un crescente numero di lettori – il desiderio di una netta discontinuità con le politiche culturali del fascismo; questo favorisce diversi percorsi di sperimentazione editoriale e un’apertura alle letterature straniere senza precedenti. La regione sudafricana spicca nel pur esiguo panorama dei libri che giungono sul mercato italiano negli anni Cinquanta; dal Sudafrica provengono due delle narrazioni analizzate in questa sede, Piangi, terra amata (Cry, the Beloved Country), di Alan Paton (Milano, Bompiani) e Il sentiero del Tuono (The Path of Thunder), di Peter Abrahams (Milano, Baldini & Castoldi). A queste, si aggiunge un romanzo proveniente dal Lesotho, Fuoco nero (Blanket Boy’s Moon), di Peter Lanham e Atwell Sidwell Mopeli-Paulus (Milano, Ugo Mursia). Si offre qui un’analisi di alcuni aspetti delle tre opere selezionate per illustrare scelte editoriali piuttosto audaci per il periodo, che non soltanto aprono finestre su mondi lontani a lettori ignari dell’esistenza delle letterature africane, ma scelgono anche di non ‘addomesticare’ l’incontro con culture e linguaggi profondamente diversi, proposti attraverso traduzioni molto attente all’alterità della cultura di partenza.

Giorgia Meloni, Meloni o la Meloni? La codifica degli antroponimi femminili in biografie generate da ChatGPT e pubblicate su Wikipedia
Authors: De Cesare Anna-Maria
Published: January 2024

L’obiettivo generale dello studio è indagare la rappresentazione linguistica delle donne all’interno di testi generati da ChatGPT, confrontandola con quella dei testi scritti da esseri umani. A questo fine esaminiamo la forma e frequenza d’uso di tre tipi di antroponimi riferiti alle donne (Giorgia Meloni, Meloni, la Meloni) attraverso un’analisi di testi biografici generati automaticamente da GPT-3.5 e pubblicati su Wikipedia. L’analisi è condotta utilizzando un corpus creato appositamente per questa indagine, che comprende biografie relative a 34 personalità femminili di rilievo. I risultati ottenuti mostrano che ci sono differenze sostanziali nel modo in cui le biografie generate da ChatGPT e quelle pubblicate su Wikipedia si riferiscono alle donne. Uno dei dati più interessanti riguarda la più bassa frequenza d’uso degli antroponimi del tipo la Meloni nelle biografie generate. Questo dato apre importanti domande sia in merito ai fattori che spiegano i dati riscontrati sia sul ruolo che i testi generati potrebbero avere in futuro sull’assetto dell’italiano contemporaneo.
The goal of this study is to investigate the linguistic representation of women within ChatGPT’s generated texts as compared with that of texts written by human beings. To this end, we examine the form and frequency of use of three types of anthroponyms referring to women (Giorgia Meloni, Meloni, la Meloni) through an analysis of biographical texts automatically generated by GPT-3.5 and published on Wikipedia. The analysis is conducted using a corpus created specifically for this investigation, which includes biographies related to 34 prominent female personalities. The results obtained show that there are substantial differences in how the biographies generated by ChatGPT and those published on Wikipedia relate to women. One of the most interesting outcomes concerns the lower frequency of use of anthroponyms of the type la Meloni in the generated biographies. This finding opens important questions both about the factors explaining the data found and about the role that the generated texts might play in the future on the structure of contemporary Italian.
La divulgazione della linguistica su Instagram: "La polifonia del discorso specialistico"
Authors: Bagaglini Veronica
Published: January 2024

L’articolo propone un’analisi qualitativa della divulgazione linguistica in italiano su Instagram. L’analisi ha messo a confronto quattro pagine dedicate a contenuti linguistici, di cui due curate da singoli utenti e due curate da gruppi di esperti, in relazione all’uso della lingua scritta (con particolare attenzione alla testualità) e agli argomenti trattati. Il lavoro ha tentato di verificare conformità e novità rispetto alle tendenze già osservate negli studi sulla divulgazione per altri media (televisione, radio, siti web). I risultati dimostrano che, seppure in uno spazio ridotto che non consente approfondimento, la divulgazione della linguistica su Instagram riesce a colmare alcune delle mancanze identificate nelle ricerche precedenti: per esempio, si notano un maggiore interesse per la trattazione dell’epistemologia disciplinare e un uso consapevole della ricchezza degli strumenti digitali.
The paper offers a qualitative analysis of linguistic disclosure in Italian on Instagram. The study compares four pages dedicated to linguistic content, two managed by individual users and two managed by experts, considering written language use (with a particular focus on textuality) and their topics. The analysis aimed to assess conformity and novelty concerning trends already observed in other studies on disclosure across various media (television, radio, websites). Despite limited space that does not allow in-depth exploration, the results reveal that linguistic dissemination on Instagram addresses some of the shortcomings identified in previous research: an increment of interest towards disciplinary epistemology and a conscious use of the richness of digital tools.
One Piece transmediale: continuità e discontinuità lessicali nel passaggio tra manga, anime e live action
Authors: Tundo Carolina
Published: January 2024

È trascorso più di un quarto di secolo dalla data di uscita del primo volume di One Piece, il manga creato da Eiichirō Oda. Negli anni successivi, il fumetto non solo si è attestato, a livello globale, come il più venduto di tutti i tempi, ma ha anche ispirato la creazione di prodotti multimediali diversi. Tra questi, spiccano per successo ottenuto, almeno all’interno del mercato mediale dell’Occidente, l’anime, e cioè la serie animata, andata in onda in Italia, sulle reti Mediaset, sin dal 2001, e la trasposizione in live-action, resa disponibile a partire dal 2023 sulla piattaforma Netflix. Viene dunque da chiedersi se il medium di partenza abbia effettivamente rappresentato un modello o un paradigma per le trasposizioni che da esso, come per gemmazione, sono derivate. A questo interrogativo si tenterà di rispondere nel corso del presente lavoro, provando a verificare la tenuta del testo reggente come guida per le opzioni linguistiche adottate nell’anime e nel live-action, mediante la rilevazione di convergenze e divergenze lessicali nel passaggio tra media diversi.
More than a quarter of a century has passed since the release of the first volume of One Piece, the manga created by Eiichirō Oda. In the intervening years, this comic has not only established itself as the best-selling comic book of all time at a global scale, but it has also inspired the creation of different media products. Among these, the most successful, at least within the Western media market, are the anime, i.e. the animated series, broadcast in Italy, on the Mediaset networks, since 2001, and the live-action transposition, made available from 2023 on the Netflix platform. The question therefore arises as to whether the original medium has actually represented a model or a paradigm for the transpositions that have stemmed from it. In this paper, we will attempt to answer this question, by trying to verify the resilience of the original text as a guide for the linguistic options adopted in anime and live-action, through the detection of lexical convergences and divergences in the transition between different media.
Delphi Method

In this chapter the Delphi method, a dialectical and consensus seeking approach, is applied to management research in ambiguous and uncertain situations. The Delphi method is essentially a process in which responses from many rounds of questions are sent to a group of leaders or experts. This happens for several iterations, and the responses are anonymous and also aggregated prior to sharing in each round. Notably, the leaders/ experts alter their response to the same questions after each round - largely due to the responses they have seen from the larger group. In sum, this process is believed to eventually create consensus as to the correct response for each question.

Many promising research and development initiatives were unable to provide sustainable solutions to global challenges, which have led to the rupture of various other challenges. Policy makers, managers and leaders in organizations, governments and business institutions are under cumulative pressure to make the right management decisions in the face of unstable, dynamic and global complexity and different socio-economic landscapes.There are a multitude of difficult, long-term global challenges ahead, almost all of which are coupled with the most pressing concerns of different countries at the national and local levels. Despite many efforts to deal with these complex issues facing our society the solutions so far have seldom been long lasting, because ‘treating the symptoms’ and ‘quick fixes’, using traditional linear thinking, are the easiest way out, but do not deliver the solutions.This paper describes the processes for unraveling complexity through participatory systems analysis and the interpretation of systems structures to identify leverage points for systemic interventions. It further demonstrates the promotion of effective change and the enhancement of cross-sectoral communication and collaborative learning. This learning focuses on finding solutions to complex issues by applying an iterative systems-based approach, namely with the Evolutionary Learning Laboratory (ELLab).An example of the ELLab application in a city governance context is described in detail, followed by reference to various other ELLab applications in a number of different contexts.
Systems Scribing
Authors: Bird Kelvy , Riehl Jessica
Published: January 2024

Systems scribing is a visual practice that combines scribing—visually representing ideas while people talk—with systems thinking. This is a new, tangible approach to representing dynamics, occurring in the moment and over time, between the scribe and a social body. Learning experiments have been conducted in educational settings, workshops, and client programs. These experiments have demonstrated to the authors that this is a challenging practice because it is difficult to combine two unique specialties without a thorough knowledge of each. Yet the complexity of our times calls for individuals to, literally, see themselves in a common picture. Sitting at a juncture between art and science, systems scribing is uniquely poised to meet this need. The practice is in its infancy, though, and will need to gain traction in use to test its true potential.
Leapfrog Leaders

Published: January 2024

We need leaders who can execute at the Strategic, Operational, and Tactical (SOT) levels. But, research shows it takes time for skills to develop at all three levels—too much time. Why does it take too much time? First, because expertise is borne of experience. An expert’s intuition requires time on task— mistake-making, in-the-trenches, experiential learning that cannot be replaced by any amount of formal training, and this happens over time. Second, the cognitive skills required at one level of SOT, appear different from those required at another level of SOT. For example, tactical thinking is seen as a different set of skills than those needed for strategic thinking. In this paper, we propose that while number 1 above is a necessary condition, number 2 above is not. Leaders can be taught to “leapfrog” from a tactical understanding, to an operational understanding, to a strategic one, not only by spending time in those new areas of leadership, but by learning new structural thinking approaches informed by Systems Thinking (DSRP) and Systems Leadership (VMCL). These structural approaches to thinking offer the underlying principles of both systems thinking and systems leadership. Once understood, they are easily applied across strategic, operational and tactical contexts as well as problem solving. This paper offers an overview of three things necessary for this application: (1) the four underlying Structures (DSRP) of systems thinking; (2) the powerful dynamics among them; and (3) the four inherent functions of all organizations that guide systems leadership (VMCL). We review individual thinking and leadership skills that can enhance one’s ability to think complexly when faced with complex phenomena and that can significantly reduce learning and preparation time in developing leaders. We propose that these three skills allow the organizational leader to benefit from far transfer by applying complex cognitive algorithms that they possess at one level (one that is experientially well known to them) to other levels of scale (those that are less experientially known to them). We describe these thinking skills and then apply them to two real-world case examples: (1) military leadership and (2) corporate leadership.
Emergence Revealed: Where the Whole is Always Equal, Never Greater, than the Parts
Authors: Cabrera Derek
Published: January 2024

Emergence, the enigma that captures the essence of system behavior, often leaves us marveling over its surprising outcomes. Emergence takes place when the dynamic interactions among the parts of a system give rise to properties or outcomes that would be absent if the parts acted in isolation. The idea of emergence is often summarized in the misleading trope that, “the whole is greater than its parts.” But let’s set the record straight and debunk this popular myth: the whole is always equal, never greater, than its parts.

The incorporation of expert opinions and handling of data uncertainty are addressed by Al-Alkhazaleh through the introduction of a soft expert set. This extension of the soft set framework aims to enhance the analysis and decision-making processes by incorporating expert knowledge. On the other hand, the utilization of single neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) and fuzzy sets (FSs) has been introduced as models to effectively handle uncertain data. In this work, the authors propose a model that combines the essential characteristics of fuzzy sets (FSs) and single neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) within expert systems. Consequently, this model aims to offer decision-makers increased flexibility when interpreting uncertain information, empowering them in the decision-making process. From a scientific point of view, the process of evaluating this high-performance SVNFSES disappears. Therefore, in this paper, we initiated a new approach known as single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft expert sets (SVNFSESs) as a new development in a fuzzy soft computing environment. We investigate some fundamental operations on SVNFSESS along with their basic properties. Also, we investigate AND and OR operations between two SVNFSESS as well as several numerical examples to clarify the above fundamental operations. Finally, we have given an aggregation operator (AO) for SVNFSESs to construct a new algorithm to demonstrate the method’s effectiveness in handling some real-life applications.

Objective: It was aimed to investigate the feasibility of the percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) catheter placed in an emergency in the future percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) operation.
Material and Methods: Patients who underwent PCN catheter insertion by an interventional radiologist under emergency situations prior to PNL surgery between January 2013 and December 2018 were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, indication for PCN insertion, stone characteristics, pre- and post-operative laboratory values, intra-operative data, usability/non-usability of PCN catheter for renal access, post-operative data and complications were recorded.
Results: A total of 32 patients were included in the study. (PCN usable: 21, unusable: 11). Indications for catheter insertion were obstruction in 26 (81.25%) patients and urinary tract infection in 6 (18.75%) patients. Renal access was achieved in 21 (65.62%) patients by using the PCN catheter tract during PNL. The most common PCN access was used in the inferior pole. In 11 (34.37 %) patients, the PCN tract was not usable for access. In patients in whom PCN was unusable due to an unsuitable calyx for access, the most common new access site was the inferior calyx in 6 patients, the superior calyx in 3 patients and the middle calyx in 2 patients. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in which the PCN catheter was usable and unusable for PNL access (p>0.05), except for the mean length of hospital stay (p=0.039).
Conclusions: PCN catheters inserted prior to PNL surgery can be used effectively and safely for renal access during surgery. However, in emergency cases, it is important that the PCN catheter is inserted through the appropriate calyx in patients undergoing future surgery.
