Career Prospects for Human Resource Management Professionals in Portugal
Authors: Gomes Vitor , Santos Maria
Published: January 2025

The research conducted aimed to analyze the attitudes of human resource professionals towards managing their careers. The attitudes of protean and boundaryless careers were investigated, and the extent to which sociodemographic factors, such as salary, gender and academic degree, influence these attitudes. A total of 732 human resources professionals working as employees in private companies in Portugal participated in the study. The methodology involved a non-probabilistic convenience sampling approach, with a detailed survey covering dimensions like self-managed career attitudes, values-driven career attitudes, boundaryless career attitudes and mobility facilitating career attitudes. The results show that most professionals have protean and boundaryless career attitudes. Other research findings show that: (1) those with higher salaries have higher levels of protean and boundaryless career attitudes; (2) male professionals and (3) those with higher education show a higher prevalence of protean and boundaryless attitudes compared to female professionals and those with no higher education. This study sheds light on Portuguese HR professionals' career attitudes. The findings significantly contribute to our understanding of modern career concepts, suggesting avenues for future research.

The purpose of this study was to determine if cutoff scores could be utilized in lieu of cluster analysis for smaller populations. It was found that cut-off scores aligned with Marcia’s framework were aligned with more robust statistical cluster analysis.
Career Development Practices: What Theories and Models Have to Offer
Authors: Arthur Nancy , Borgen Roberta , McMahon Mary
Published: January 2025

Career theory serves as a crucial foundation for practice, yet its relevance is sometimes questioned due to a perceived gap between theory and its practical application. We contend that the practical utility of theory should be a central criterion in evaluating contemporary career theories and models. This study aimed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by analyzing the practical applications of 43 career theories and models featured in Career Theories and Models at Work: Ideas for Practice (Arthur et al., 2019). Through thematic analysis, eight foundational themes emerged that support theory-driven practice. We argue that, regardless of their theoretical orientation, career practitioners can benefit from understanding and applying these themes. The results are discussed with a focus on making career theories and models more accessible for integration into practice. Practice points developed by the contributing chapter authors are provided, illustrating how specific theories and models informed the eight themes. Suggestions are offered for aligning the themes with professional standards and guidelines, and for improving learning and supervision.

Authors: Xie Haoyuan , Chen Jun
Published: January 2025

In recent years, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) has become a hot research topic both domestically and internationally, and has made many progress. Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system, mainly caused by the loss of dopamine neurons and related motor and non motor symptoms. At present, drug treatment is still the main approach for Parkinson's disease, but long-term medication can lead to drug resistance and side effects, resulting in poor treatment outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to explore new intervention measures. rTMS, as a painless and non-invasive brain stimulation therapy, has received increasing attention in the treatment of PD in recent years. The therapeutic effect and safety have also been widely recognized. This article reviews the current research status of rTMS on PD, aiming to provide reference for clinical treatment.

În baza unei documentări anterioare, nu neapărat pentru subiectul acestui articol, se poate afirma că administrarea justiției militareîn Războiul de Întregire nu a fost un proces perfect, printre cele mai importante critici aduse acesteia fiind erorile judiciare,înregistrate, pe de-o parte, și imixtiunile comandanților în actul de justiție, pe de altă parte. Faptul că membrii completelorcurților marțiale erau numiți de către comandanții marilor unități pe lângă care acestea funcționau, de la nivelul diviziilor în sus,reprezenta o procedură care facilita, în mod firesc, existența relațiilor de subordonare, cu efect direct asupra actului de justiție.O altă explicație pentru calitatea scăzută a actului de justiție este lipsa pregătirii de specialitate a membrilor consiliilor de războiși ai curților marțiale, pregătirea ofițerilor chemați să înfăptuiască actul de justiție militară fiind grevată de tarele sistemuluieducațional al acelor vremuri. În acest context, trebuie analizat și modul în care a decurs procesul sublocotenentului ConstantinCiulei, care dobândește astfel noi sensuri și semnificații. Situația disciplinară a trupelor cerea o pedeapsă exemplară, aplicatărapid și care să fi impresionat audiența, iar faptul că Ciulei era ofițer reprezenta un atu, care asigura notorietatea evenimentului.

Diante de um saber pedagógico baseado em uma relação distanciada entre alunos e professores, bell hooks, inspirada em sua vivência como aluna e professora universitária e bebendo das fontes de Paulo Freire, concebe a metodologia denominada de “comunidade em sala de aula”. Essa abordagem visa transformar as experiências de vida de educadores e educandos em conteúdos latentes para o desenvolvimento das atividades escolares. Ao superar a barreira da “relação bancária” no ensino, bell hooks propõe uma metodologia educativa alicerçada no afeto, nas experimentações e no vivido, rompendo com a objetificação dos sujeitos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. A pesquisa busca responder à seguinte pergunta: “Como as experiências vivenciais e afetivas podem ser incorporadas à prática pedagógica, promovendo uma educação emancipatória e transformadora?”. Do ponto de vista teórico, utilizou-se a obra Ensinando a Transgredir de bell hooks e obras de Paulo Freire que influenciaram as ideias da autora. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa configura-se como qualitativa, baseada nos aportes de Minayo (2016), descritiva e bibliográfica conforme Gil (1999), e orientada pelo viés compreensivo de Weber (2009). Como resultado, conclui-se que bell hooks nos lega uma metodologia que transforma a sala de aula em um espaço de resistência e criação, onde a construção de conhecimento é mediada por relações afetivas e pela valorização das histórias de vida, fomentando a formação de sujeitos críticos e comprometidos com a transformação social.

Full-bridge DC-DC Converter based on Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control
Authors: Hua Xuequan
Published: January 2025

Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter has been a research hotspot in recent years. It is widely used in distributed power generation system, DC microgrid system and power management system. Traditional PI controllers do not perform well in the face of nonlinear loads and external disturbances, so a more advanced control method is needed to improve the stability and performance of the system. In this paper, a control strategy based on active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is proposed to improve the control performance of full-bridge DC-DC converter. First of all, the small signal mathematical model of full-bridge DC-DC converter is established, and the function relationship between input, output, control quantity and disturbance quantity in the system is obtained. Then, the extended state observer of ADRC core module is designed, and its parameters are adjusted and simulated, compared with the traditional PI controller. The simulation results show that the full-bridge DC-DC converter based on LADRC has faster dynamic response and better disturbance immunity, which can effectively improve the stability and robustness of the system.

Authors: Zhang Xin , Huang Miao , Tao Lili , Zhang Shuping , Hu Zhihua
Published: January 2025

This paper addresses the issues of low observer estimation accuracy, high speed overshoot, narrow speed range, and poor anti-disturbance performance in traditional sensorless Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motor (PMSM) Field Oriented Control (FOC) systems. It proposes two control methods combining the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) observer with Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (LADRC) and Nonlinear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (NLADRC). The EKF is used to estimate rotor position and speed, while LADRC and NLADRC controllers compensate for load disturbances in the speed loop. EKF outputs are used for feedforward compensation in the current loop, eliminating the coupling between d-axis and q-axis voltages. Simulation results show that both methods offer strong anti-disturbance performance, a wide speed range, strong speed overshoot suppression, and accurate estimation of motor speed and rotor position, thereby enhancing the operational stability of the PMSM system.

Technology Licensing Strategy Under Asymmetric Beliefs of Supply Reliability
Authors: Gong Yunhan
Published: January 2025

We study the optimal licensing strategy amid the risk of supply chain disruption. Specifically, where an upstream supplier (Licensor, patent-holding firm) licenses technology to another firm (Licensee), so a downstream manufacturer (M) can adopt a dual source purchasing strategy to ensure supply reliability, especially, the estimates of supply reliability among suppliers and manufacturers are inconsistent. Licensor has two licensing strategies: royalty licensing and fixed-fee licensing. Our findings reveal that Licensor will decide which licensing strategy to adopt, considering the fixed fee. In most case, Licensor will decide whether to produce after technology licensing based on estimation conditions, but in case of M and Licensee estimate inconsistently, Licensor will always produce after royalty licensing. Additionally, manufacture will take different procurement strategies based on different estimation situations, especially the estimation of Licensor.
Application of Big Data in Bank Loan Risk Early Warning and Prediction
Authors: Li Jinqing
Published: January 2025

Big data has revolutionized bank loan risk management by transforming how financial institutions assess and mitigate risks. The integration of big data analytics enables the development of predictive models, fraud detection systems, and comprehensive risk monitoring tools, significantly enhancing both efficiency and decision-making. By processing vast volumes of structured and unstructured data in real time, banks can identify potential risks early, such as loan defaults or fraudulent applications, and take preemptive actions to mitigate them. Additionally, big data allows banks to personalize financial products, tailoring them to individual customer needs and behaviors, thereby improving customer satisfaction and fostering long-term relationships. It also streamlines operations by providing insights that optimize resource allocation and credit assessment processes. Despite its transformative potential, the application of big data in banking is not without challenges. Privacy concerns are a primary issue, as financial institutions handle sensitive customer information, including personal identification and transaction histories. Without stringent governance and security measures, the risk of data breaches or misuse can compromise customer trust and expose banks to legal and reputational risks. Furthermore, the sheer volume, velocity, and variety of data generated often exceed the capabilities of traditional IT systems, creating technical scalability challenges that necessitate significant investments in modern infrastructure like cloud computing and distributed storage systems.

Authors: Qi Binting , Zhai Hanming , Bu Yunyang , Han Zhuxuan , Bu Fanliang
Published: January 2025

There are problems such as semantic sparsity and incomplete context in cyber violence texts in social media, and the current research on the refinement and classification of cyber violence texts is insufficient. This paper constructs a text classification model based on graph neural networks to improve the fine-grained classification effect of multi category cyber violence texts in social media. Introducing dependency relationships into BERT through syntactic analysis for deep semantic representation learning enhances the model's contextual understanding ability and better captures fine-grained features in sentences. Build a graph structure containing two different node types, words and documents, to propagate semantic information through GCN and strengthen the relationships between nodes. By combining large-scale pre-trained models with GCN, complementary advantages can be achieved to improve the overall performance of the model. The experimental results show that the method achieves a classification accuracy of 84.77% on publicly available cyber violence text datasets, which is 2.36% higher than the baseline model. It can effectively and accurately identify multiple types of cyber violence texts.
Separations
Authors: Dumas Hélène
Published: January 2025

When the campaign to systematically exterminate the Tutsis began on the morning of April 7, 1994, the adults presented the children with a face of worried uncertainty. For the first time, sons and daughters felt the fear of their parents. The first family separations occurred soon after the first massacres, mainly targeting men, and the memories of the older generation encouraged them to take refuge in the churches. How do the persecuted interpret the signs of threats that led them to flee and to seek refuge? This difficult question is complicated by the fact that uncertainty is brutally intruding on the social familiarity of the hills.
Monument to Sojourner Truth
Authors: Hite Katherine
Published: January 2025

This essay focuses on a New York state monument to the national hero Sojourner Truth. It argues that New York’s official monumentalizing of Truth has come quite late, given her remarkable achievements. Truth transcended the atrocities of her enslavement, as well as the racism and misogyny to which she was subjected throughout her life, becoming a nationally venerated abolitionist and suffragist. Sculptor Vinnie Bagwell captures the fullness of Truth in the monument that stands on the west side of the Hudson River, in the Hudson Valley county where Truth was born into slavery.

Is Area-Level Social Vulnerability Index Associated With Patient-Level Health-Related Social Needs in Hand Surgery?
Authors: Schultz Emily A. , Zhuang Thompson , Shapiro Lauren M. , Kamal Robin N.
Published: January 2025

Background:

Social drivers of health (SDOH) are area-level, nonmedical factors that affect health outcomes. By contrast, health-related social needs (HRSNs) are individual patient reported and are being deployed in some payment models. SDOH are often used to broadly represent health disparities of communities through metrics, such as the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI); however, the association of area-level SVI to individual HRSNs has not been well studied in hand surgery, which has implications for addressing social risks to improve health and in quality measurement.

Methods:

We conducted a prospective cohort study of new patients presenting to an outpatient hand surgery clinic. Patients completed a questionnaire that included demographic information, zip code, the Accountable Health Communities HRSNs Screening Tool, and the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH). Following completion of the survey, zip code was used to calculate SVI. Cohen kappa coefficients (k) were calculated to measure interrater agreement between SVI and HRSNs, SVI and QuickDASH, and HRSNs and QuickDASH.

Results:

We included 80 patients in the study. The most commonly reported HRSNs were safety (33, 41.25%) followed by housing (14, 17.5%) and food (11, 13.75%). Seven SVIs were represented across the cohort. No notable agreement was observed between SVI and HRSNs. In addition, no notable agreement was observed between SVI or HRSNs and QuickDASH score.

Conclusion:

Although the importance of identifying SDOH is growing, the ability of these area-level measures to accurately reflect individual HRSNs is not well understood. HRSNs may represent an opportunity for patient-centered assessments of needs and to guide resource deployment to improve outcomes for hand surgery patients.

Utilizing Binary Logistic Regression Models for Predicting the Risk Factors of Heart Disease
Authors: Kasem Farag  , Marfoua Ali
Published: January 2025

With rising yearly death rates, cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be a major global health concern. Effective prevention and management of risk factors depend on an understanding of how they interact. Predicting the primary causes of heart disorders, examining the impact of each of these elements, and organizing them according to model choice and classification capabilities were the objectives of this work. To forecast the probability of CVD, a logistic regression model was created. The parameters impacting infection risk were characterized using descriptive analysis. Data were collected from 82 patients at Benghazi Cardiac Centre, comprising 41 infected patients and 41 control subjects selected using the Stephan Thompson Equation. Binary logistic regression analysis, conducted using SPSS 23, identified four significant predictors of cardiac infection: diabetes, BMI, cholesterol level, and blood pressure. The model demonstrated an 89% accuracy in classifying patients. Further research is recommended to investigate the impact of additional factors on cardiac infection risk in this population.
Contro “la legge de lu monno” (e l’ingratitudine): per un dialogo fra la Medea di Rame e Fo e i femminismi italiani degli anni Settanta
Authors: Ciminari Sabina
Published: January 2025

Franca Rame and Dario Fo’s Medea is analysed with specific attention to its problematical positioning towards Italian feminism in the ‘70s and to Franca Rame’s self-assertion, as a woman in relation to a man, a process Rame accomplishes in those years by choosing to assert herself as an actress and an author. In the various forms of feminism present in Italy at that time, the sacrifice of motherhood by Medea and her opposition to the existing laws may echo feminist custom and texts which question her stand on the issue of gender.
La dé-moralisation du féminin comme acte de rédemption dans Notturno di donna con ospiti et Medea per strada
Authors: Guglielmino Francesca Chiara
Published: January 2025

In these two rewritings of the myth, Medea is a housewife, pregnant with her third child, dedicated to home and family and a foreigner who arrived in Italy with the dream of a better future, imprisoned in a prostitution racket by the man she loves and who becomes the father of her twins. For both Medeas, infanticide becomes an extreme act of liberation from society’s control over women through the ethics of care; a way to de-moralize gender and deconstruct the notion of femininity.
Jamais fatiguée : les représentations de Rosa Parks et le récit national étatsunien
Authors: Maheo Olivier
Published: January 2025

The dominant narrative about Rosa Parks’ action in 1955 is more of a morality tale than factual. This ambiguous memorialization is indicative both of the political context of the 1950s, but also of the distortions around the history of the civil rights movement that persist to this day. This article sheds light on the way Rosa Parks was presented, including during the events themselves, by analyzing some of the best-known photographs. The political context imposed narrow limits on protest, particularly with regard to African-American women.

Antigone breaks with parental rule although, in order to go beyond all identities and defend every humiliated body. Her desire is the symbolic recovery of Jocasta’s body and the birth of a non-birth girl. Thus, how happens this birth of a non-birth subject ? In order to answer this question we run through Marquis de Sade desire’s fantasy and the zig zag of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan too.
« Suivre la trace d’Antigone »
Authors: Hervé Stéphane
Published: January 2025

The Italian company Motus has developped a project named Syrma Antigones for two years. In this project, Motus didn’t intend to offer a new version of the Greek tragedy but aimed to search traces left behind by the rebellious protagonist in the contemporary world, to investigate through experimental performances about her possible survival. This paper analyses the chosen performative modes in this archeological experiment, from the fragmentary structure to the confrontation between theatre and political reality, and exploration of a queer dramaturgy based on fraternity, against State violence and the law of kinship.
Soavità dei naufragi
Authors: Cecchi Dario
Published: January 2025

In Hans Blumenberg's investigation of the Lucretian metaphor of the shipwreck with a spectator, a reflection on the sublime is absent. Through a rereading of Leopardi's The Infinite in the light of this metaphor, we want to show that the feeling of the sublime necessarily enters into the consideration of life as a shipwreck. This perspective brings us back to the anthropological turning point of the late Blumenberg in the passage from the notion of "absolute metaphor" to that of "metaphor of existence".

Since the 70’s Deleuze and Althusser have been reflecting and have elaborating their philosophy in the reinterpretation of the Latin poet, De rerum natura’s work. Their methods, both contrasting and linear, remain a deeply contemporary approach to building an alternative to idealism and materialism dialectic. This will de done through the use of the concept of assembly which is the point of convergence between Deleuze and Althusser from which a power of dismissal can be unfolded with numerous adjuncts and implementations.

Il genio di Jane Avril
Authors: Solla Gianluca
Published: January 2025

Jane Avril’s Memoirs symbolize the essence of dance within the realm of the event. It depicts the intersection of dance and music, marking the profound metamorphosis of the dancer herself. One can interpret this as an indication of both calling and evolution. Yet, it also invites further exploration, particularly concerning the concept of rhythm and one’s encounter with it.
Jane Avril: la danza del desiderio
Authors: Palumbo Fabio Domenico
Published: January 2025

Jane Avril, a former patient of the Salpêtrière, feigned the grand hysterical attack to escape the medicalizing grasp of psychiatry through a practice of dissimulation. This maneuver involves a tactic where the “fake” becomes a dodge, granting the nosographic gaze the idiocy of diagnostic gratification to deceive it at a deeper level. It is here that the mimetic and metamorphic art of Charcot’s patients becomes the dancing subversion of a power relationship, thanks to the hysterical metonymy’s ability to evade any clinical capture. The demand for hysterical dance, which Jane transposes from the “clinical theater” of the Salpêtrière to the stage of the Moulin Rouge, eroticizes the impossible, engaging with life and mocking the “master”. It is this “menadic” nature of hysterical desire that uncouples the erotic body from the normativity of biology. My contribution will seek to investigate, in reference to the conceptual figure of Jane Avril, not only within a genealogy of “transference neurosis” but also in the context of its differential framing compared to other clinical and psychoanalytic constellations, the subversive trait of hysteria and its decisive role in the economy of desire.
L’effetto spettrale di un mimetismo muto

The contribution describes a trajectory in the thought of the German journalist and philosopher Siegfried Kracauer. The emergence of mass society is described in these pages in the figures of the Jackson Girls, dance troupes that expressed liberation in the form of entertainment from the cultural traditions inherited from the pre-war period. Dancing, the cult of fun and the thrill generated by an exploding mass society are intertwined in this author with the reflection on the city and its transformations.
1984: Antigon-izing the Irish stage
Authors: Cambria Mariavita
Published: January 2025

The paper explores three versions of Antigone staged in Ireland in 1984: Antigone: The Riot Act by Tom Paulin; Antigone: a version by Brendan Kennelly and Antigone by Carl Aidan Mathews. Rewriting, adapting or translating classics can represent a counterdiscoursive strategy used in crucial moment of a country’s history. In the three Irish plays Antigone’s persona springs out of the confrontation/opposition with both Creon (the institutional opponent) and Ismene (a sort of Antigone’s double). In the framework of Ireland as a postcolonial context, the paper investigates how this confrontation/opposition fits in Irish politics in the 80s.
Échapper au territoire de l'homme

The quests pursued by Kafka's narrators are true investigations in which they engage with their whole body. In "Investigations of a Dog" or "The Burrow", we follow, from the inside, mutations as much behavioural as psychological and reflexive, generated by the relation to a fantasized otherness. In the same movement, Kafka also seems to describe, from the outside, a humanity whose moral foundations are shaking and whose specificity is becoming more and more uncertain. Precisely, provoking this disorder is also the aim of the Russian artist Oleg Kulik, who, by adopting the point of view of a dog offers the image of a strange and yet familiar bestiality to an unsettled public.
La danse de Charlot, de la géométrie à la mécanique
Authors: Grasset Mathilde
Published: January 2025

It has been said a lot that the character of the Tramp was a dancer, but how could we define his choreographic style more precisely? The Tramp is actually torn between two types of dance: classical dance with a geometric character, and contemporary dance that works more with the laws of mechanics (gravity, inertia,...). Thus, the Tramp’s dancing gesture leads him from academism and a desire for mastery to the elaboration, with a set of physical phenomena, of a more uncontrolled movement.
Charlot. Il gesto contro il cliché

Mime is a central figure in Gilles Deleuze’s Logic of Sense. Starting with a reprise of Deleuzian reference to mime, this essay would try to analyse the re-emergence of mime within the French philosopher's reflection on cinema through the paradigmaticity of the most famous of Charlie Chaplin’s inventions: Charlot.
Jeanne ou la voix de la multitude

There are two ways of giving cinema an emancipatory scope to a figure like that of Joan of Arc. Either we share his tears, his suffering, in a moment of intense empathy, or the cinematographic experience really allows us to reach, to live this moment of communion. It is this second path that we will take.
Piangere e tangere
Authors: Guglielmo Stefania

The article focuses on Joan of Arc as a figure who can embody Jacques Derrida’s reflections on the gaze and tears. In his texts, Derrida proposes the distinction between eyes that see and eyes that are seen. According to Derrida, blinding is what reveals the truth of the gaze, and it is not the eyes that see, but only the tears that blur vision. The thesis of this paper is that Joan of Arc is an emblematic figure of the emotion that has always been removed from the regime of the authority of seeing. Her tear-filled gaze, as depicted by director Dreyer, can subvert the opposition between the visible and invisible.
Les larmes cinématographiques de Jeanne d’Arc

When we think of Joan of Arc in the movies, we picture Renée Falconetti’s face as framed by Carl Theodor Dreyer in 1928’s The Passion of Joan of Arc: Tear-soaked eyes gazing skyward, a face the size of a movie screen. The weeping face becomes the film’s supreme emblem, triggering the saint’s transcendence, until the face covered in tears strips itself of its particularities to achieve Passion. Focusing on the same theme, Robert Bresson’s Le procès de Jeanne d’Arc (1962) shows us a body stripping itself of its matter to be free from the shackles of corrupt humans. In 1957, with his film Saint Joan, Otto Preminger extracts the soul from the body to represent Jeanne’s never-before-seen background. The filmmaker makes Jeanne appear as a ghost to implement a certain inventiveness in elaborating her image. Jean-Louis Leutrat demonstrates that a form of fantasy is born “between cinema, appearing-disappearing, melancholy, a certain luminous unreality and tears”. In the light of this idea, Jeanne would be a reincarnation of her own tears. Through these three films, and based on the idea of a certain dynamic of tear in terms of Poetic representations, we notice a complementary evolution that helps the regeneration of Joan of Arc as a Saint.

Between 1921 and 1922, while in Vitebsk, Malevič wrote three theoretical texts that help to understand his particular position within Soviet Russia. His critique of the catastrophic nature of “practical realism” and the exaltation of inactivity underlie a condemnation of instrumental reason and progress at the basis of machine civilization but also a warning to the new Soviet regime not to fall into the trap of productivism so as not to betray the promises of revolution.
