Purpose: The aim of this study is to examinethe relationship between CSR and corporate financial performance, mainly discussing the relationship between CSR and ROA, also use the agency cost as the mediating variable, using a sample of listed companies in China to conduct the study and provide relevant suggestions for the subsequent development of the company
 
Theoretical framework: As for external social responsibility, the government, the media, the public and corporate governance should strengthen the reporting and monitoring of external social responsibility and establish a multi-governance monitoring system.
 
Design/methodology/approach: Theresearcher used quantitative analysis to explore the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable, to reflect how the independent variable affect the dependent variable, and in turn, how to improve the financial performance of firms in China.
 
Findings: The results showed that ccompanies should be restrained from fulfilling external social responsibility as a way of giving back to society without compensation, and should not aim to win the market through speculation or malicious collusion, otherwise it will hinder their long-term development and become a double-edged sword
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The study is based on heterogeneity and finds that internal social responsibility is conducive to enhancing employee motivation, maintaining the interests of shareholders and internal stakeholders such as suppliers and customers, thus providing a favourable internal environment for green technology innovation. In contrast, an excessive level of external social responsibility fulfilment can lead to companies making the maintenance of external social relations a corporate priority and viewing external social responsibility fulfilment as a tool for speculation to gain access to the market, so that in this way companies may neglect their development.
 
Originality/value: The value of the study highlighted the economic agents, enterprises should actively fulfil their internal social responsibility and strengthen the maintenance of relationships with internal stakeholders such as employees, shareholders, suppliers and customers.

Critical Discourse Analysis Based on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics: Taking The Economist’s First Commentation on the End of China’s Zero-COVID Policy as an Example
Authors: Wang Chuyan
Published: June 2023

Based on Halliday’s systemic functional grammar, especially the ideational function, this research aims at disclosing the hidden ideologies and values of the seemingly objective news reports on China’s COVID-19 policies in The Economist. Transitivity, voice, and nominalization are the major analytical subjects. After China lifted the zero-COVID policy, western media began criticizing China’s lack of data sharing, with some misinformation and misleading reports. The denouncement of inertness and reluctance to fight against the pandemic disclaim the Chinese government’s efforts and depreciate China’s image. China is portrayed as the villain and destroyer of people’s health worldwide. Meanwhile, they also hold a hesitant attitude toward China’s diplomacy. The re-engaging with foreign countries and travel restrictions have been described as imprudent and rushed actions. They also consider China as the fuse of contradiction in the United Nations. What is overt is their view of breaking up China.

It not only has the functions of traditional transformers but is also able to solve the problems of traditional power transformers’ high price, huge volume, prodigious no-load loss, and inflexible control. This paper studies the DC/DC converter mainly, according to the given indexes, the magnetic integrated LLC resonant transformer is designed in detail. The magnetic integrated transformer greatly reduces the converter volume, and the selection of devices is completed based on parameters design. In addition, according to design parameters, losses and the efficiency of the LLC resonant transformer are calculated. The results meet the efficiency requirements. A test platform of a full-bridge LLC resonant converter is built according to theoretical research. The correctness and effectiveness of theoretical research and design methods of the DC/DC converter are verified by analyzing the experimental waveforms.
Research on the Hedging Relationship Between the Main Economic Indicators of China and RCEP Member States
Authors: Zhang Jiao
Published: June 2023

In recent years, the bilateral economic and trade relations between China and other Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) members have developed rapidly, laying a realistic foundation for economic interdependence. In order to comprehensively examine the mechanism of the interdependence of major economic indicators between China and RCEP member states, this paper uses the GAM model to select three main economic indicators of GDP, inflation, and exchange rate, and discusses the economic hedging relationship between China and RCEP member states. The study found that the economic hedging relationship between China and RCEP member states is mainly affected by trade volume, economic scale, and national strength.

Astrorealeza e iconografías siderales en las fiestas habsbúrgicas de la Nueva España
Authors: Mínguez Cornelles Víctor
Published: June 2023

Resumen
Las representaciones astrológicas de los reyes hispanos de la Casa de Austria se iniciaron con Carlos V y Felipe II, pero alcanzaron su mayor impulso un siglo después con Felipe IV y Carlos II cuando, tras el final de la Guerra de los Treinta Años, el proyecto habsbúrgico de un imperio universal se desmoronó, y la propaganda intentó contrarrestar el declive del mismo. A partir de ese momento la retórica simbólica invadió como nunca el espacio urbano, y la imagen del monarca alcanzó en las celebraciones públicas una dimensión desmesurada. Las ciudades virreinales americanas, y específicamente México, capital de La Nueva España, constituyen un excelente ejemplo de este proceso, favorecido por la enorme distancia que separaba en ultramar a los reyes de sus súbditos y por la riqueza que experimentaron los virreinatos del Nuevo Mundo durante estas décadas. Y así, la imagen solar de los últimos Austrias en sus exequias catedralicias mexicanas dio lugar a un espejismo barroco de gran eficacia persuasiva.
Abstract
The astrological representations of the Spanish kings of the House of Austria began with Carlos V and Felipe II, but reached their greatest impetus a century later, during the reigns of Felipe IV and Carlos II when, after the end of the Thirty Years' War, the Habsburg project of a universal empire collapsed, and propaganda tried to counteract its decline. From that moment on, symbolic rhetoric invaded the urban space like never before, and the image of the monarch reached enormous dimension in public celebrations. The American viceregal cities, and specifically Mexico, the capital of New Spain, are an excellent example of this process, favored by the enormous distance that separated the kings from their subjects overseas and by the wealth of the viceroyalties of the New World during these decades. And so, the solar image of the last Habsburgs at their obsequies in Mexico’s cathedral gave birth to a highly persuasive baroque mirage.

Caruso y el disco: primeras grabaciones, controversia de su datación y análisis artístico en el centenario de su muerte
Authors: Anadón Mamés Roberto
Published: June 2023

Resumen

Enrico Caruso, paradigma del tenor italiano del que se ha cumplido recientemente el centenario de su muerte, traspasó los umbrales de su campo profesional para convertirse en un mito universal, lo que nunca hubiera sido posible sin su relación con el disco. Fue el primer cantante en vender masivamente copias de un mismo ejemplar y con él despegó la naciente industria fonográfica. Este artículo, centrado en sus registros europeos previos a 1904 para las firmas Gramophone and Typewriter Company Ltd., Zonophone y Pathé Frères, asociadas estas dos últimas a la Anglo-Italian Commerce Company, pretende reunir y ordenar el resultado de investigaciones anteriores y aportar un criterio analítico, estético y técnico, que contribuya a sustentar la cronología de sus primeras grabaciones, basada hasta la fecha en fuentes documentales fragmentarias auxiliadas por hipótesis, ajenas al examen artístico, para tratar de cubrir las lagunas existentes.

Abstract

Enrico Caruso, paradigm of the Italian tenor whose centenary of his death has recently been celebrated, crossed the thresholds of his professional field to become a universal myth, which would never have been possible without his relationship with the record. He was the first singer to sell massively copies of the same title and with him the nascent phonographic industry took off. This article, focusing on his European records prior to 1904 for the firms Gramophone and Typewriter Company Ltd., Zonophone and Pathé Frères, the latter two associated with the Anglo-Italian Commerce Company, aims to gather and order the results of previous research and provide an analytical, aesthetic and technical criterion, which helps to support the chronology of his first recordings, based to date on fragmentary documentary sources aided by hypotheses, unrelated to the artistic examination, to try to fill any gaps.

La narración empática y la traducción cultural en el libro Zen en el arte del tiro con arco de Eugen Herrigel
Authors: Cabañas Pilar
Published: June 2023

Resumen

Dada la popularidad que el libro Zen en el arte del tiro con arco del alemán Eugen Herrigel (1884-1955) tuvo en la segunda mitad del siglo XX en Europa y América, esta investigación pretende entender por qué, haciendo un análisis profundo, también desde las críticas recibidas. Estudiar el contexto histórico y cultural en el que se gestó ha resultado fundamental. Descubrir la enculturación llevada a cabo por Herrigel, y releer la obra desde la traducción cultural y la narrativa empática son algunos de los aspectos investigados. A la luz de los resultados nos preguntamos si la obra seguirá teniendo validez y encontrando ávidos lectores. La metodología empleada ha tenido en consideración tanto la interpretación cultural del punto de partida, Japón, como del contexto de llegada, los lectores europeos y americanos.

Abstract

Given the popularity of the book Zen in the Art of Archery by the German Eugen Herrigel (1884-1955) in the second half of the 20th century in Europe and America, this research aims to understand why, by making an in-depth analysis of it, including the criticisms it received. It was essential to study the specific historical and cultural context in which it was created. Discovering the enculturation carried out by Herrigel, and rereading the work from the perspective of cultural translation and empathetic narrative are some of the aspects investigated. In the light of the results, we wonder whether they will prevent this book from continuing to be valid and find avid readers. In my approach the methodology of my work has always been based on taking into consideration both the cultural interpretation of the point of departure, Japan, and the context of arrival, the European and American readers.

Literatura japonesa y porcelana Kutani: Escenas del Genji Monogatari en el Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla
Authors: Almazán Tomás V. David , Lacasta Sevillano David
Published: June 2023

Resumen

Los numerosos objetos de exportación japoneses llegados a Europa desde la apertura de la era Meiji (1868-1912) propiciaron el fenómeno del Japonismo y el coleccionismo de obras artísticas que hoy forman parte de numerosos museos. Este artículo analiza un conjunto excepcional de veintiuna piezas de porcelana de Kutani (Japón) conservadas en el Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla procedentes de la colección de Joaquín Soria, cuya decoración son distintos episodios del Genji Monogatari, la gran obra clásica de la literatura japonesa, que sigue los diseños del artista de la estampa ukiyo-e Ogata Gekkō (1859-1920). En concreto, las escenas representadas en las cerámicas proceden de la serie Los cincuenta y cuatro capítulos del Genji realizada entre los años 1892 y 1895 en Tokio. Este conjunto de obras muestra que las estampas ukiyo-e de la era Meiji formaron parte de los repertorios decorativos de las porcelanas japonesas, proyectando una imagen de Japón basada en su rica tradición literaria y cultural.

Abstract

Numerous Japanese export objects arrived in Europe from the beginning of the Meiji era (1868-1912), giving rise to the phenomenon of Japonisme and the collections of works of art that today form part of several museums. This article analyses an exceptional set of twenty-one pieces of Kutani porcelain (Japan) from the Joaquín Soria collection in the Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares in Seville. These pieces are decorated with different episodes from the Genji Monogatari, the great classic work of Japanese literature, which follows the designs of the ukiyo-e print artist Ogata Gekkō (1859-1920). The scenes depicted on the ceramics derive from the serie Fifty-four Chapters of the Genji, produced between 1892 and 1895 in Tokyo. This group of Kutani pieces shows that Meiji-era ukiyo-e prints formed part of the decorative repertoire of Japanese porcelain, projecting an image of Japan based on its rich literary and cultural tradition.

Metaphor and Ideology in the Business Press: The Case of the Endesa Takeover
Authors: Isabel Negro Alousque
Published: June 2023

Ideology is present in language (Fairclough 1989) and is embodied in a range of linguistic devices. Metaphor is one of such devices, as has been shown in recent research (Fairclough 1992; Dirven and Frank 2001). In this article we explore the metaphorical base of the Spanish and British journalistic discourse on a specific business issue —the Endesa takeover— and the way ideology operates. The empirical data for our survey have been drawn from two newspapers (El País, Financial Times) published over a period running from September 2005 to April 2007. Our main assumption is that metaphor has an ideological value which is manifested through the positive or negative axiologisation of the takeover.

Framenet and its Limitations. The Case of Entity-Specific Change-of-State Verbs
Authors: Andreea Rosca
Published: June 2023

This article examines the proposals made by the FrameNet project (Atkins, Fillmore and Johnson 2003; Fillmore, Johnson and Petruck 2003) with regard to Levin’s (1993) entity-specific change-of-state verbs. We have identified several limitations in this database: (i) only a small number of entity-specific change-of¬state verbs were listed in FrameNet (eight out of twenty-one verbs); (ii) there is a separation of the causative and inchoative uses of a verb into two different frames; (iii) in some cases no examples are provided for the Frame Elements of a particular verb (e.g. there are no examples for the verb swell in the ‘expansion’ and ‘change of position on a scale’ frames); (iv) usually FrameNet includes literal instantiations of the predicates under consideration and when figurative uses are listed no cognitive motivation is given for these metaphorical expressions; (v) often frames are incomplete owing to the use of a small size corpus (i.e. the British National Corpus), which offers a limited number of examples for a given verb. It will also be shown that metaphor and metonymy play a crucial role in regulating the subsumption processes between predicates and constructions.
CLIL Instruction and its Effects on the Development of Negotiation Strategies
Authors: Maria Juan-Garau
Published: June 2023

The current study proposes to analyze the positive effects that Content-and¬Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL) instruction can have on the development of negotiation strategies, which are an essential part of interaction. Thus, in order to see whether CLIL instruction furthers any linguistic development in this respect, we are going to examine which negotiation moves (e.g. clarification requests, confirmation and comprehension checks, among others) are employed both by CLIL and mainstream (or non-CLIL students) while performing an extemporaneous role-play in pairs. The results indicate that CLIL students make use of a higher number of instances and of a wider range of negotiation moves (e.g. self-repairs, reformulations, and clarification requests) while interacting than their non- CLIL counterparts.
Motivation and L2 Receptive Vocabulary Knowledge of Spanish EFL Learners at the Official School of Languages
Authors: Canga Alonso Andrés , Fernández Fontecha Almudena
Published: June 2023

This study explores the relationship between the motivation and receptive vocabulary knowledge of a group of 30 EFL students in the 1st and 2nd year of the Official School of Languages intermediate level (B1) (Escuela Oficial de Idiomas - EOI). We measured their receptive vocabulary by means of the 2,000-word frequency-band from the receptive version of the VLT (2K VLT) (Schmitt, Schmitt and Clapham 2001, version 2). On the other hand, an adaptation of Gardner’s (1985) A/MTB questionnaire was used to analyse motivational levels. On a three-level scale to range learners' motivation marks, i.e. high motivation, medium motivation, low motivation, our results evince most learners' were highly motivated in the two years (level 3) and the rest were motivated (level 2). As could be expected in this type of language teaching, no lowly motivated learners were identified. Concerning the types of motivation, extrinsic motivation was higher than intrinsic motivation in both years. The evolution of general motivation and the two types, extrinsic and intrinsic, is not significant from the 1st to the 2nd year. Both the general motivation and the intrinsic type decrease slightly from one year to the following one. As for students’ receptive vocabulary knowledge, it increased significantly from the 1st to the 2nd year. Finally, no significant correlation was detected between this type of vocabulary and learners’ levels of general intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Reivindicación de la cultura urbana en 'The Role of Notable Silences in Scottish History', de A.L. Kennedy
Authors: González Sampedro Irene
Published: June 2023

Exigir el reconocimiento de una cultura de ciudad se ha convertido, en las últimas décadas, en una reivindicación social contra el orden establecido. En este sentido, "The Role of Notable Silences in Scottish History", de A.L. Kennedy, ofrece una reinterpretación literaria de los arquetipos nacionales escoceses, a menudo asociados a una identidad rural desvinculada de la realidad urbana de los habitantes de Glasgow. Además, una de las principales peculiaridades de los escritos de Kennedy es su disposición a articular vidas individuales que subvierten los retratos masculinos de Glasgow. Para cuestionar la unidad cultural impuesta sobre la población de la ciudad, me centraré en el análisis de Foucault (1976) sobre las jerarquías sociales y cómo pueden subvertirse para hacer visibles las experiencias cotidianas que tienen lugar en la ciudad a través de la plasticidad del espacio (Rose 1999). Además, analizaré cómo los cuerpos interiorizan el discurso social (Grosz 1998) en el relato corto, así como el modo en que las prácticas urbanas transforman el mapa de la ciudad en un texto (de Certeau 1984).
A Deeper Look into Metrics for Translation Quality Assessment (TQA): A Case Study
Authors: Martínez Mateo Roberto
Published: June 2023

In spite of the professionalization of translators and their central role in international relations, there is yet no widely accepted methodology available for professional Translation Quality Assessment (TQA). At the same time, there exists a pressing need to standardize TQA criteria to mitigate the subjectivity prevailing over quality assessment. Evaluating the quality of a translation first requires defining concepts of Quality and Translation, which inevitably parallels the approach characteristic of a translation theory (House, 1997). In this case, the functionalist approach is embraced. The aim of this article is to review some of the most representative models for TQA with a view to lay the foundations to develop an alternative model. I begin by analyzing a selection of outstanding quantitative-oriented models of TQA (metrics), identifying their strengths and weaknesses as viable and efficient assessment tools. Having surveyed these models, I then propose suitable forms for refinement and for the polishing of existing metrics so as to establish a basis for the structuring of a new theoretical model for TQA. The result is a mixed approach to TQA that takes up an integrated view embedding both top-down (rubrics) and bottom-up (metrics) tools.
Lexical-constructional Subsumption Processes in the Lexical Constructional Model: The Case of Join and Attach
Authors: Rodríguez-Juárez Carolina
Published: June 2023

This article presents the results of the study of the verbs of position join and attach, as members of the verbal subdomain “putting things together” (Faber and Mairal 1999), taking as a basis the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Role and Reference Grammar (Van Valin and Lapolla 1997; Van Valin 2005), and the tenets of the Lexical Constructional Model, as outlined in Ruiz de Mendoza and Mairal (2007a/b, 2008) and Mairal and Ruiz de Mendoza (2006, 2008, 2009a/b). In order to account for the relationship between lexical meaning and syntactic representation, we will first provide the semantic and syntactic information of these verbs which will allow us to propose their lexical templates and explore the constraints which might condition the process of lexical-constructional subsumption at the core grammar level of description, and which might lead to the fusion of low-level lexical templates into higher level-constructional patterns such as the resultative construction.
Striving for Attention: Furthering a Comparative Reading of Robert Browning and Edgar Allan Poe
Authors: SANTIAGO MIRIAM
Published: June 2023

This article explores the possible influence between certain works by Robert Browning and Edgar Allan Poe, composed and published very close in time, which deal with similar themes and share literary strategies and techniques. Although the possibility that they might have been reading each other’s work is supported by their respective correspondences with Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the similarities between their works could also be attributed to literary experimentation as a means of standing out in a fiercely competitive literary market that had to pander to both popular and critical taste. This article compares the similarities in choice of tone and sensational event, as well as the use of voice in a short list of titles that coincide in both time of publication and topic, to raise the issue of influence in a controversial historical context when plagiarism and radical innovation were equally problematic.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young/Mature Woman in Just Kids, M Train, and Year of the Monkey, by Patti Smith
Authors: SÁNCHEZ CALLE PILAR
Published: June 2023

Patti Smith and her 2010 National Book Award-winning Just Kids offers an autobiographical account of the artist’s life with the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Smith also shows her involvement in New York City’s bohemian downtown scene in the 1960s and 70s. In 2015, Smith published a second memoir, M Train, and a third one, Year of the Monkey, followed in 2019. These two books are more experimental works where linear chronology is altered. The narrator mixes dream and reality in her recollection of her life after the death of her husband Fred “Sonic” Smith, and pays homage to those beloved persons (writers, artists, family members, friends) who have made an emotional and artistic impact on her. As a significant number of critical articles and book chapters have been devoted to analysing gender issues and narrative strategies of life-writing in Smith’s memoirs, my aim in this essay eschews those topics and explores the search for the artistic self as well as Smith’s ideas of art and performance in Just Kids, M Train and Year of the Monkey.
Metamorphosen der ‚schönen Jüdin‘. Achim von Arnims Die Majoratsherren und Thomas Manns Wälsungenblut
Authors: Wilhelmi Fabian
Published: June 2023

In der literarischen Figur der ‚schönen Jüdin‘ überkreuzen sich diverse Ausgrenzungskategorien. Neben dem Diskriminierungspotential des Judentums und der Weiblichkeit, das sich den in der Intersektionalitätsforschung zentralen Kategorien von race und gender zuordnen lässt, wird die Figur auch aufgrund ihres sozialen Status (class) ausgegrenzt. Letzteres wird im vorliegenden Aufsatz anhand der Analyse der ‚schönen Jüdin‘ in Die Majoratsherren (1819) und Wälsungenblut (1905/1921) gezeigt. Dabei werden auch die sich historisch wandelnden Kontexte deutlich, die sich in der literarischen Konzeption der ‚schönen Jüdin‘ widerspiegeln.
Zum Problem der Archaisierung in der literarischen Übersetzung. Am Beispiel des Sprachenpaars Deutsch – Polnisch
Authors: Lukas Katarzyna
Published: June 2023

Im Beitrag werden exemplarisch zwei Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, einen historiolektal stilisierten literarischen Text in eine Fremdsprache zu übertragen. Das Beispielmaterial bilden zwei polnische Romane, in denen die intendierte Archaisierung grundverschiedene Funktionen erfüllt und von deutschen Übersetzern jeweils unterschiedlich behandelt wird: der klassische historische Roman Krzyżacy (1897–1900) von Henryk Sienkiewicz in der Übersetzung von Emma und Rudolfine Ettlinger und der Pastiche eines Briefromans Wariacje pocztowe (1972) von Kazimierz Brandys in der Übersetzung von Roswitha Buschmann. Während die Sienkiewicz-Übersetzerinnen dem Sprachgebrauch des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts bzw. dem deutschen „standard archaic usage“ (G. Leech) verpflichtet bleiben, greift Buschmann auf mehrere zielsprachige Historiolekte zurück und imitiert den Stil des deutschen Schelmenromans. In ihrer total archaisierten Übersetzung dominiert die literarische (gattungsbezogene) Stilisierung über der rein sprachlichen.

Despite the existence of the Migration Law and the Law on Refugees and Complementary Protection, both from 2011, as well as the creation of the Municipal Directorate of Attention to Migrants (DMAM) in 2015, the Law for the Attention, Protection of the Rights and Support of Migrants in the State of Baja California, enacted in 2021, and the Protocol for Attention to the Migrant Population of 2022, the resources and efforts of the local government are limited, making it difficult to achieve the stated objective of protecting the physical integrity of migrants. The objective of this paper is to explore the legal path followed by those who arrive at the southern border in pursuit of the "American dream", within the context of the violence that has grown exponentially in Mexico and the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study highlight the importance of international organizations and local civil associations as valuable allies of local authorities in Tijuana.

The United Nations states that more than half of the world's population lives in cities and the number is expected to increase to 60% by 2030. A metropolitan area that has experienced an accelerated population increase is the Tijuana - San Diego region. These cities are considered twin cities due to their high interaction, joint development and interdependence. This region has a population of more than five million inhabitants, therefore the use of resources and urban needs increase with it. Sustainable development is presented as the best option to face the use of resources in a balanced way without compromising the capacity of future generations. This work has the objective of analyzing the role of transborder cooperation as a fundamental tool for the institutions that are responsible for the sustainable development of cities and communities in the Tijuana - San Diego region, through the binational activity of the institutions in the creation and implementation of urban planning instruments in the region. With the use of the qualitative method of longitudinal character. A classification of urban planning instruments in the region is made from the year 2015 and if they comply with the sustainable and binational approach.

A partir de la actualización de un estudio realizado en 1984 por Mungaray y Moctezuma, sobre la distribución del ingreso y gasto en Tijuana, el objetivo de este trabajo es, además de realizar una comparación entre los hallazgos de 1984 y los del 2020, el de describir y analizar la manera en la que se distribuye el ingreso al interior de la mancha urbana en Tijuana, utilizando como instrumentos de análisis la construcción de curvas de Lorenz y el cálculo de índices de Gini, considerando tanto el ingreso mensual del jefe de familia como el de todos los integrantes, para cada uno de los estratos (privilegiado, medio y marginal).  Entre los hallazgos de la investigación destaca el hecho de que, 35 años después, la distribución del ingreso en la ciudad de Tijuana (de manera agregada) no sufrió cambios significativos; sin embargo, una vez diferenciando dicho análisis por tipo de estrato urbano, se observan diferencias en la concentración del ingreso, que podrían brindarnos elementos para hablar de una reconfiguración de la desigualdad económica al interior de la mancha urbana.
Mechanisms for industrial coordination of “new” tourism regions: The case of Dagestan
Authors: Sitkevich Daniil
Published: June 2023

The tourism industry that has developed in several constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the last three years contributed to the growing interest in its architecture. The article identifies the driving force behind change in the structure of the industry in the “new” tourism regions. The methodological basis of the study combines institutional theory (principally, the theory of transaction costs underlying the counterparties coordination mechanisms) and the concept of tourism product. The research methods of comparative analysis and in-depth interviewing were applied. The empirical data were retrieved from 29 interviews with representatives of the tourism business conducted between October, 2021 and November, 2022 in three constituent entities of the RF. The study demonstrates that the hybrid coordination mechanisms are most common in the “new” tourism regions. For instance, in Dagestan, the tourism product is created within vertical networks that unite partners at different stages of the value chain, while the selection of counterparties and the exchange of resources for this product to be produced take place within horizontal networks that enhance the efficiency of the industry. At the same time, as the tourist flow intensifies, there emerge some trends towards hierarchization (dealing with contractors as part of the firm) and a decrease in the role of horizontal networks in the functioning of the industry. Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that the process of hierarchization will be continued, while the potential associated with entrepreneurial networks is not used actively enough by both the business itself and the state.

الخلفية: لا تزال العدوى البكتيرية هي السبب الأكثر شيوعًا للمرض والوفاة في العالم. وفقًا لتقرير منظمة الصحة العالمية، تشكل مقاومة البكتيريا للمضادات الحيوية تهديدًا خطيرًا للصحة العامة العالمية. في السنوات الأخيرة، زاد استخدام الجسيمات النانوية  كبديل للمضادات الحيوية.  
 النتائج: نظرًا لنشاط الجسيمات النانوية المضاد للبكتيريا المتأصل، فإن الجسيمات النانوية المعدنية وأكسيد المعادن هي أكثر المواد النانوية الواعدة للتطبيقات البيولوجية. على الرغم من أن للجسيمات النانوية خصائص مضادة للبكتيريا مثيرة للاهتمام، إلا أن استخدامها في التطبيقات الطبية مقيد حاليًا بسبب عدم وجود فهم واضح للآليات الكامنة وراء عملها.
 الخلاصة: كان التركيز الرئيسي لهذه المراجعة على التفاعلات بين البكتيريا والقدرات المضادة للبكتيريا للجسيمات النانوية. ملامسة الغشاء، إطلاق الكاتيون، أكسدة الجزيئات الحيوية، إنتاج أنواع الأكسجين التفاعلية، وأنواع الأكسجين التفاعلية هي بعض الطرق التي  يمكن للبكتريا ان تقتل بها نفسها. يعد فحص كيفية تأثير الجسيمات النانوية   على أنماط تنظيم الجينات والبروتينات (النسخية والبروتينية) امرا بالغ الاهمية.
