Authors: Oliveira Antonio Gonçalves de , Nogueira Sónia de Paula da Silva , Maretti Audrey Jaqueline do Vale
Published: October 2024

Com a redemocratização do Brasil e de Portugal a partir das décadas de 70 e 80, o controle social passa a ser visto como um instrumento de cuidado, pelo cidadão, sobre os atos dos gestores públicos. Assim, o exercício desse controle torna-se ato de cidadania que pode e deve ser exercido por todos, no cuidado com a coisa pública. Os tribunais de contas, enquanto órgãos constitucionais de controle externo podem contribuir com a capacitação dos cidadãos ao exercício desse controle. Objetiva-se no presente artigo, analisar a existência de ações voltadas à capacitação dos cidadãos para o exercício do controle social promovidas pelo Tribunal de Contas de Portugal e Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Paraná, com o fim de estimular a participação cidadã nas municipalidades. Os métodos empregados no desenvolvimento do trabalho envolvem pesquisa de natureza aplicada de abordagem qualitativa, com fins explicativos e descritivos e emprego de técnicas bibliográficas, documentais e de comparabilidade, com o fim de responder à seguinte pergunta: Como os Tribunais de Contas de Portugal e do Estado do Paraná contribuem para o estímulo dos cidadãos ao exercício do controle social? Como resultados tem-se que o Tribunal de Contas de Portugal e o Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Paraná desenvolveram, no período de 2010 a 2022, 310 e 70 ações respectivamente, voltadas ao controle social, alcançando o primeiro 40.628 participantes, e o segundo 25.320, numa relação de participante por ação/evento de 131,05 pessoas em Portugal e 361,71 no Paraná.

La letteratura russa tradotta nelle edizioni Carabba (1900–1925)
Authors: Di Leo Donatella
Published: October 2024

Nel panorama della diffusione della letteratura russa in Italia nel primo Novecento la casa editrice lancianese, fondata da Rocco Carabba nel 1878, si attesta al terzo posto su base nazionale, con traduzioni molto curate e di buona qualità. L’editore, infatti, esigeva che i traduttori lavorassero direttamente sul testo “originale” per offrire al pubblico italiano versioni filologicamente attendibili. Il presente contributo intende gettare luce sull’importanza dell’attività editoriale carabbiana per la circolazione delle opere russe nel primo quarto del secolo.
Teoria e pratica della traduzione realista nei volumi della serie Masterstvo perevoda (1959–1990)
Authors: Baselica Giulia
Published: October 2024

Nel 1959 le edizioni Sovetskij pisatel’ iniziarono a pubblicare un corposo volume annuale intitolato Masterstvo perevoda. Si trattava di una sorta di resoconto teorico e critico del dibattito tra traduttori, critici, studiosi di letteratura e filologi della sezione moscovita dell’Unione degli Scrittori. Il comitato di redazione era composto da eminenti studiosi e traduttori come Vladimir Rossel’s, Olga Cholmskaja, Samuil Maršak, Ivan Kaškin, Ėfim Etkind. L’almanacco, pubblicato fino al 1990, era animato da ambizioni scientifiche e, nel primo decennio, offrì un importante spazio editoriale ai sostenitori del realismo socialista applicato alla teoria della traduzione. Il presente contributo si propone di tracciare le linee principali del dibattito teorico-pratico inerente alla teoria realista della traduzione che animò la cultura sovietica tra la fine degli anni Cinquanta e la prima metà degli anni Sessanta.
Poesia e politica: Foscolo e Leopardi nei commenti della critica letteraria polacca del periodo interbellico
Authors: Tylusińska-Kowalska Anna
Published: October 2024

Dall’inizio del XX secolo fino allo scoppio della Seconda guerra mondiale, l’opera dei grandi poeti italiani Ugo Foscolo e Giacomo Leopardi è oggetto di interesse da parte dei traduttori e dei critici letterari polacchi. Stupisce il fatto che questi ultimi (a cominciare da Snowacki e dal polonista austriaco Otto Forst de Battaglia) cerchino di forzare una lettura politica del pensiero dei due poeti portando in primo piano in particolare gli aspetti patriottici e l’impegno politico dei due poeti italiani e mettendo in ombra altri aspetti, ben più centrali, della loro poetica. Nonostante la specificità di una lettura inevitabilmente semplicistica, in particolare per Leopardi si può parlare del momento più alto della sua ricezione da parte della critica polacca.
Representing and translating art speak in films and TV
Authors: Ranzato Irene
Published: October 2024

The term “artspeak” was first popularised by art historian Robert Atkins (1990). According to those who are sceptic of the necessity and value of artspeak, its function has been little more than that of creating “a mystique surrounding the work of certain artists” (ibidem: ix). This suspicion towards the act of verbalising and conceptualising art is also reflected in the representation of artspeak in film and TV dialogue. This article offers some insights on the representation of artspeak in original and translated audiovisual dialogue focusing on a case study – the film Velvet Buzzshaw (2019) – in which the language of contemporary art has been believably represented.
All ears on? A survey on podcasters’ profiles, practices and self-perceptions
Authors: Katzenberger Vera , Keil Jana
Published: October 2024

Despite the continuous growth in podcast consumption among listeners and podcast offerings on various streaming platforms, there remains a lack of research concerning podcasters. This paper presents an exploratory analysis of the profiles, practices, role perceptions, and values of podcasters based on the results of an online survey among 1 073 podcasters from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. The findings reveal that podcasters are predominantly male, middle-aged, and academically educated. Regarding their professional practices and profiles, the majority of podcasters lack prior experience in the field of journalism despite often taking on journalistic functions. Concerning their perception of their roles and values, podcasters place significant emphasis on the relevance of entertainment, education, and information dissemination. Overall, they demonstrate a strong orientation towards the needs of their audiences. As podcasts continue to gain popularity among audiences, studying podcast producers helps to better understand their content creation processes, prioritized topics, and approaches to engaging with their audiences.

Published: October 2024

Purpose

The prognostic significance of noninvasive myocardial work (MW) indices in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has not been adequately examined.

Methods

We retrospectively selected 88 consecutive patients (mean age 79.9 ± 6.4 years, 40% males) with severe aortic stenosis scheduled for TAVI enrolled in the EffecTAVI registry. Exclusion criteria were prior valve surgery, atrial fibrillation, and left bundle branch block (LBBB) at baseline. Global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), and global work efficiency (GWE) were measured by echocardiography at baseline and at 30 days. Accuracy of the noninvasive measures was assessed by invasive evaluation of MW.

Results

In the overall population, a significant reduction in GWI (2406 ± 567 vs. 2063 ± 515 mmHg% before and after TAVI respectively, P < 0.001), GCW (2783 ± 616 vs. 2380 ± 495 mmHg%, P < 0.001) and GWW (238 ± 203 vs. 186 ± 135 mmHg%, P = 0.015) was observed at 30 days after TAVI. GWE improved only in patients who did not develop left ventricular dyssynchrony due to new-onset LBBB or pacemaker implantation following TAVI. In a multivariable Cox-regression analysis, GWE after TAVI (hazard ratio 0.892, 95% confidence interval 0.81–0.97; P = 0.011) was the strongest predictor of adverse events (a composite of all-cause death, worsening of dyspnea, or rehospitalization for cardiovascular events) at 1-year follow-up.

Conclusions

TAVI results in significant changes in MW indices, including an early decrease in GWI, GCW and GWW, and an improvement in GWE in patients without left ventricle dyssynchrony. A GWE equal or less than 92% at 30 days is indicative of poor clinical outcomes at 1 year.
Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Industrie und Energiepreise
Authors: Hölzl Werner , Streicher Gerhard
Published: October 2024

The rise in energy prices in 2021/22 put the competitiveness of Austrian manufacturing industry to the test. Model-based simulations and an enterprise survey were carried out to analyze the medium-term effects of high energy prices. The results show that the cost disadvantages in international competition induced by energy price increases will lead to a decline in industrial production and employment in the medium term and increase the risk of relocation of energy-intensive production.
Die neue Geoökonomik und ihre Auswirkungen auf den Wirtschaftsstandort
Authors: Felbermayr Gabriel
Published: October 2024

Geopolitical rivalries create mistrust between trading partners. These try to guard themselves against the opportunistic abuse of trade policy by de-risking and de-coupling. Indeed, first empirical evidence points towards an increasing division of the world economy into an US-centered and a China-centered block. Western sanctions against Russia have strongly accel-erated this tendency. Increased fragmentation disincentivizes corporate strategies based on serving foreign markets by exports and favors local-for-local models. This endangers value-added creation in small, open economies such as Austria. Countermeasures must include deepening the European Single Market, striking trade agreements with aligned and neutral countries, and promoting cost efficiency of European production.

Educação superior e desigualdade educacional no Brasil
Authors: Bertolin Julio , Fioreze Cristina , Barão Fábio Roberto
Published: October 2024

Este estudo analisa os avanços em termos de igualdade na educação superior brasileira. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental realizada a partir do questionário socioeconômico do Enade respondido por amostra de concluintes entre 2009 e 2017. Os investimentos na expansão do acesso ao nível superior de ensino constituem um fenômeno observável em todo o mundo. Nas últimas décadas, o Brasil implementou importantes políticas nesse sentido. Embora a ampliação do acesso seja fundamental para a redução da desigualdade educacional, a conclusão de cursos por estudantes provenientes de grupos sociais historicamente excluídos também é um fator relevante. Conclui-se que mudanças são vistas, mas se está no início de um processo, pois ainda persistem heranças elitistas.

Published: October 2024

A microphone phased array (MPA) was mounted in the vicinity of pad 0A of Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport located on NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility to identify the evolution of acoustic sources from hold-down to an elevation of [Formula: see text] during the launch of an Antares rocket (Northrop Grumman [NG]-19). The MPA was equipped with 70 piezo-resistive dynamic pressure sensors, a visible-band and an infrared-band camera, and a two-axis accelerometer. The noise map demonstrated an effective use of the water injection system to attenuate noise from plume impingement on the pad. They also pointed out the outlet of the exhaust duct, through which the steam and plume mixture ejected out, to be the primary noise source during a significant interval of time. A comparison with prior such measurements during the maiden launch of the Antares vehicle in 2013 showed significant attenuation of noise sources during the NG-19 launch. A strong source caused by the impingement of plume on the pad surface during the 2013 launch was found to be attenuated in 2023. The results showed the utility of an MPA in quantifying the impact of changes made to a launch pad.

Modern Models of Referenceand Bibliographic Services in National Libraries of Europe
Authors: Neshcheret Marina Yu.
Published: October 2024

The article is based on a report presented by the author at a meeting of the Bibliography and Information and Bibliographic Services Section during the 28 Annual Conference of the Russian Library Association (Kazan, May 21, 2024) and is devoted to the evolution of reference and bibliographic service models in national libraries in Europe. The author examines the main approaches to the organization of reference and bibliographic services, characterizes the most common functional and organizational models and provides examples of their practical implementation in libraries. It is noted that the traditional model of reference and bibliographic services, which assumes that the interaction between the user and the librarian takes place at a stationary point of service — the reference bureau, is seriously criticized. The author comes to the conclusion that the search for an “ideal” model of reference and bibliographic services that meets the requirements of the digital age is an urgent problem.

Authors: В.А. Минкин
Published: October 2024

Предложен подход к измерению характеристик личности, аналогичный измерению физических величин метрической системы измерения, лежащей в основе Международной системы единиц СИ. Проведен анализ открытой базы данных психофизиологической реакции (ПФР) 500 испытуемых на 48 многофакторных стимулов, имеющих привязку к способностям и порокам личности и последовательно предъявляемых программой Профайлер+. Рассмотрены различные формулы расчета текущего психофизиологического состояния (ПФС) и ПФР по данным микровибраций головы человека, измеряемым технологией виброизображения. Предложены математические критерии оценки корректности вычисления ПФС и ПФР на основании близости плотности ПФР к нормальному распределению и максимальной корреляции между ПФР на стимулы, имеющие привязку к способностям и порокам личности. По результатам анализа ПФР предложено введение в систему СИ новых информационно-физических величин и единиц измерений — бит и вибра, используемых для измерения характеристик личности. Даны определения новым единицам измерения характеристик личности, основанные на совмещении принципов психологии, кибернетики и физики в рамках единого метрологического подхода к человеку как биологическому, кибернетическому и физическому объекту.

Metrology approach to the personality characteristics is proposed, similar to the measurement of physical quantities of the International system of units (SI). The analysis was made of the open psychophysiological responses (PPR) database of 500 subjects to 48 multifactor stimuli tied to multiple intelligences and personality vices consistently presented by Blitz Judgment program. Various equations for calculating of the current psychophysiological state (PPS) and PPR according to microvibration data of a human head, measured by vibraimage technology, are considered. Mathematical criteria are proposed for assessing the correctness of PPS and PPR calculating based on the closeness of PPR distribution to the normal distribution and the maximum correlation between PPR for stimuli that are sense tied to multiple intelligences and personality vices. Based on the results of PPR analysis, it is proposed to include into the SI new values and units — the bit and the vibra used to measure personality traits. Definitions are given for new units of personality traits measurement, based on principles combination of psychology, cybernetics and physics within the framework of the single metrological approach to a person as biological, cybernetics and physical object.

Nutritional Status of Patients with Malignant Obstructive Jaundice Evaluated by Nutritional Risk Screening and the Indocyanine Green Retention Test
Authors:   Mianyang Central Hospital, School of Medicine University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Mianyang, Sichuan, PR China, Liu Fang , Yang Chuang ,   Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Fokind Hospital, Tibet University, Tibet, PR China
Published: October 2024

Malignant Obstructive Jaundice (MOJ) is typically caused by malignant tumors of hepatopancreatic biliary origin and less frequently by metastatic primary malignancies of non-hepatopancreatic biliary origin. MOJ is associated with an unusually high risk of malnutrition. Therefore, effective screening of nutritional status is especially important for early detection of MOJ. We recommend the indocyanine green retention test combined with the nutritional risk screening for assessment and dynamic real-time monitoring of nutritional status to improve the treatment outcomes of MOJ patients.
Decoupling First-Cycle Capacity Loss Mechanisms in Sulfide Solid-State Batteries
Authors: Kaeli Emma , Jiang Zhelong , Yang Xiaomian , Choy Emma , Liang Nicolas , Barks Edward , Wang Sunny , Kang Stephen , Chueh William
Published: October 2024

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) promise more energy-dense storage than liquid electrolyte lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, first-cycle capacity loss is higher in SSBs than in LIBs due to interfacial reactions. The chemical evolution of key interfaces in SSBs has been extensively characterized. Electrochemically, however, we lack a versatile strategy for quantifying the reversibility of solid electrolyte (SE) redox for established and next-generation SSB electrolytes. In this work, we perform tailored electrochemical tests and operando X-ray diffraction to disentangle reversible and irreversible sources of capacity loss in positive electrodes composed of Li6PS5Cl SE, Li(Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2)O2 (NMC), and carbon conductive additives. We leverage an atypically low voltage cutoff (2.0 V vs. Li/Li+) to quantify the reversibility of SE redox. Using slow (5.5 mA g−1 NMC) cycling paired with > 100 h low-voltage holds, our cells achieve a surprising 96.2% first-cycle Coulombic efficiency, which is higher than previously reported (mean: 72%, maximum: 91.6% across surveyed literature). We clarify that sluggish NMC relithiation kinetics have been historically mistaken for permanently irreversible capacity loss. Through systematic decoupling of loss mechanisms, we uncover the unexpected reversibility of SE redox and isolate the major contributors to capacity loss, outlining a strategy for an accurate assessment of next-generation SE materials and interface modifications.

Published: October 2024

This study presents a methodical procedure for optimizing laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) supports using porous silicon (PSi) substrates. The approach involves the use of substituted benzyl-pyridinium salts (thermometer ions) to obtain one metric that assesses analyte fragmentation (the effective temperature of vibration). Porous silicon substrates were synthesized via electrochemical etching of p-type silicon wafers (10-20 mΩ⋅cm), with etching pa-rameters adjusted to vary porosity while maintaining a layer thickness between 700 and 1200 nm. The results revealed that PSi substrates with 40-60% porosity achieved the lowest fragmentation levels. This finding was validated through the analysis of N-Acetyl glucosamine, a carbohydrate, which confirmed the effective temperature trend. Further analysis involving peptides, specifically P14R and a peptide mix (Peptide Calibration Standard II, Bruker), demonstrated that the optimized PSi substrates enabled the desorption and ionization of peptides with a maximum mass at m/z 2465, corresponding to ACTH clip 1-17. These results highlight the critical role of substrate porosity in minimizing analyte fragmentation and enhancing LDI-MS performance.

El distanciamiento entre el sistema de educación superior y el mercado laboral se ha intensificado de manera significativa con el paso del tiempo. Además de considerarse como responsable de la desmejora en la productividad, la competitividad y la empleabilidad; esta falta de acoplamiento entre la academia y la industria ocasiona brechas de capital humano que se evidencian con la falta de trabajadores provistos con las habilidades necesarias para suplir las demandas del sector productivo. En el escenario descrito anteriormente, el marco de desajuste de habilidades existente entre la formación disponible y aquella requerida por el mercado laboral de la industria de las Tecnologías de la Información (TI), también se hace evidente en el ámbito global. Bajo esta perspectiva, la explicación para la brecha de habilidades existente en la oferta laboral disponible para el sector TI puede obedecer a la carencia de las habilidades integrales que conjugan aspectos técnicos propios de las ocupaciones del área disciplinar, denominadas competencias duras, y aspectos generales relacionados con habilidades sociales y de comportamiento, también llamadas competencias blandas. Bajo estas consideraciones, se propone una aproximación a las dimensiones de las competencias blandas aplicables a la formación de los estudiantes del programa Ingeniería en Software del Tecnológico de Antioquia, como una manera de fortalecer el currículo a través de la adopción de las mejores prácticas para la formación, basadas en estrategias de intervención académicas que contribuyan a la reducción del desajuste que se experimenta actualmente entre la oferta de profesionales y las necesidades actuales de la fuerza de trabajo para el sector del Desarrollo de Software. Para cumplir el objetivo planteado anteriormente, se propone una revisión documental preliminar que facilite la identificación del contexto que circunscribe las dimensiones de las competencias blandas que pueden ser aplicables al proceso de formación en el programa Ingeniería en Software del Tecnológico de Antioquia, además de servir como una base para desarrollar una estrategia de intervención más robusta que posibilite un impacto positivo del currículo del programa a propósito de la renovación de su registro calificado.

Authors: Vieira Jenna , Coelho Sophie , Snaychuk Lindsey , Tabri Nassim , Dawson Samantha , Hodgins David , Keough Matthew , Shead Will , Kim Hyoun
Published: October 2024

Objective: Cannabis has become more available in Canada since its legalization in 2018. Many individuals who use cannabis also use alcohol (co-use), which can be used either at the same time such that their effects overlap (simultaneous use) or at different times (concurrent use). Though studies have identified predictors of co-use relative to single-substance use, less is known about the predictors of specific types of co-use. The present study examined the mental health and dispositional predictors of simultaneous relative to concurrent use of the two legal substances (cannabis and alcohol) among adults in Canada. Method: Canadian adults reporting past-year use of both cannabis and alcohol (N = 1,761) were recruited from Academic Prolific and six Canadian universities. Participants completed online self-report measures of demographic characteristics, cannabis and alcohol co-use, mental health symptoms, impulsivity, and personality traits. Results: Binary logistic regression analyses revealed that when independent variables were each examined individually, greater severity of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD symptoms; greater negative urgency and lack of premeditation; and greater impulsivity each predicted an increased likelihood of reporting past-year simultaneous use relative to concurrent use. When independent variables were grouped into three separate models (mental health, impulsivity, and personality variables), greater anxiety symptom severity, ADHD symptom severity, negative urgency, and sensation seeking were each uniquely associated with an increased likelihood of simultaneous relative to concurrent use. Conclusions: Individuals with elevated anxiety and ADHD symptoms, as well as negative urgency and sensation seeking, may be more inclined to engage in simultaneous use to self-medicate and achieve greater symptom reduction. Future studies may examine the directionality of these relations and motives (e.g., coping) that may differentiate simultaneous and concurrent use.

Представлено новое реактивное силовое поля семейства ReaxFF построенное на основании расчетов модельных структур, содержащих малое число атомов (не более 4), методом теории функционала плотности (DFT) с дисперсионными поправками. В отличии от существующих силовых полей, предложенное поле позволяет получить корректное описание двух полиморфов кристаллического оксида B2O3, качественно отличающихся координацией атомов бора (треугольно- и тетраэдрически координированные атомы бора). В качестве примера применения силового поля продемонстрирована возможность построения атомной модели боратного стекла в результате имитации процесса охлаждения из расплава. Реалистичность модели подтверждается сравнением с экспериментальными литературными данными по дифракции нейтронов.

AIM: to evaluate the clinical efficiency of phytocomposition with prostate-protective properties in the form of rectal suppositories.
METHODS: The analysis of literature information was performed to assess literature data and form an evidence base for the ratio between the levels of clinical effectiveness and safety for phytocomposition with prostate-protective properties in the form of rectal suppositories. To assess the clinical efficiency and safety the authors used a literature review on the ground of databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus.
RESULTS: The functional characteristics of a combination of extracts of saw palmetto, lovage roots, and calendula flowers are caused by fatty acids and their derivatives (saw palmetto), essential oils, flavonoids (lovage, calendula), phenolic acids, phthalides, and bitter principles (lovage). Considering the complex effect of all components, the studied phytocomposition in the form of rectal suppositories promotes the arrest of the inflammatory process, inhibits vein micro-thrombosis in the prostate, decreases the edema and leucocytic infiltration of the prostate, and improves microcirculation processes.
CONCLUSIONS: Analyzing the scientific literature on the components of phytocomposition of rectal suppositories with prostate-protective properties, it may be concluded that the combination of extracts of saw palmetto, lovage roots, and calendula flowers has anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory action.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a product containing endo‐1,4‐β‐xylanase (ECONASE® XT) as a zootechnical feed additive (digestibility enhancer) for pigs for fattening, laying hens and minor poultry species. ECONASE® XT is available in two liquid and three solid forms and is produced with a genetically modified strain of Trichoderma reesei (CBS 114044). The FEEDAP Panel concluded that the genetic modification of the production strain does not raise any safety concerns, and viable cells of the production strain and its DNA were not detected in the final products. The Panel also concluded that ECONASE® XT is safe for pigs for fattening, laying hens and minor poultry species at the proposed conditions of use. The use of the additive raises no safety concerns for the consumers of products derived from animals fed with the additive or for the environment. The liquid and solid forms of ECONASE® XT are non‐irritant to the skin, but only the liquid forms were confirmed as non‐irritant to the eyes and not dermal sensitisers. The Panel could not conclude on the irritation potential to the eyes and the dermal sensitisation potential for the solid forms. Due to the proteinaceous nature of the active substance, the additive is considered to be a respiratory sensitiser. The additive has the potential to be efficacious in pigs for fattening at 20,000 BXU/kg complete feed, in all laying poultry species at 12,000 BXU/kg complete feed and in minor poultry species other than laying birds at 8000 BXU/kg complete feed.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the assessment of the application for the renewal of authorisation of a preparation containing a smoke flavouring extract for cats and dogs. The applicant provided data demonstrating that the additive currently on the market does not fully comply with the conditions of authorisation, but with newly proposed specifications based on different analytical methods. Considering that the additive under assessment contains benzofuran and styrene, for which a potential concern for genotoxicity has been identified, and that the whole mixture raises a potential concern for genotoxicity, additional data would be needed to complete the assessment. Therefore, the FEEDAP Panel is not in the position to conclude on the safety for cats and dogs. The additive is authorised for use in feed for cats and dogs, and therefore, there is no need to perform an assessment of the safety for the consumer and the environment. Regarding user safety, the additive should be considered as irritant to skin and eyes, and as a dermal and respiratory sensitiser. When handling the additive, exposure of unprotected users to potential genotoxic substances may occur. Therefore, to reduce the risk, the exposure of the users should be minimised. There was no need for assessing the efficacy of the additive in the context of the renewal of the authorisation.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to attempt to answer the questions: Is process management theory implemented in business practice, and if so, to what extent? Are there discrepancies in the assessment of this phenomenon between academic experts and experts directly involved in business implementation? Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted in 2023 using a methodology that employed two methods of data collection: Computer Assisted Personal Interview (PAPI) and Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI). The study involved 116 respondents, including 33 scientists and 83 practitioners. The research tool was a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out in two stages: analysis of the overall results and analysis by dividing the population into theorists and practitioners. Findings: The research results indicate a strong attachment of respondents to traditional and long-used definitions in the field of business process management, suggesting stability in the perception of the fundamental concepts of this field. Consistencies between knowledge and its practical application were observed. Significant differences were found between the two studied groups of respondents in the assessment of the attributes of process management in business. Research limitations/implications: The study is limited to Polish enterprises and may not be generalizable to other contexts. Further research could explore these questions in different cultural or organizational settings. Practical implications: The findings suggest that while traditional definitions in process management are stable and widely accepted, there are notable differences in how theorists and practitioners assess process management attributes. This highlights the need for better integration of theoretical knowledge and practical application in business processes. Social implications: Understanding the alignment and discrepancies between academic theories and practical applications can help bridge the gap between research and practice, leading to more effective business process management strategies that benefit both academic and business communities. Originality/value: This study addresses a gap in the literature regarding the practical applications of process management theory in Polish enterprises, providing valuable insights into how these theories are implemented and perceived by different expert groups. Keywords: Process Management, Business Process Modeling, Organizational Conditions, Practical Application, Theoretical Foundations, Polish Enterprises. Category of the paper: Research Paper.
