COMPARISON OF ORGANIZATIONAL THEORY IN THE AXIS OF THE "PANDEMONIUM" METAPHOR IN MODERN, SYMBOLIC AND POSTMODERN APPROACHES
Authors:   Bayburt University, Turkey, Ilhan Ahmet
Published: February 2021

The development and position of the field of organizational theory differ at certain levels depending on the perspectives emerging in different periods. It is thought that analyzing organizational theory in the context of different perspectives adds diversity to organizational research within the development line. In addition, the linguistic codes used in different periods to understand today's organizations and the discourses developed in this context are seen as valid features in understanding organizational structures and functioning. This study examines the organizations established based on the reflections of modern, symbolic and postmodern approaches in organizational theory in the pandemonium axis related to human life and its organization at the organizational level, and the issues that organizational theory focuses on. In this direction, the main purpose of the study is to analyze the fundamental philosophical differences that constitute modern, symbolic and postmodern approaches and their effects on organizations and organizational theory in the context of issues that epistemological, ontological, metaphor, organizational theory focuses on, nature of information and pandemonium metaphor. Within the scope of the study, as a result of the analysis of organization theory with the pandemonium metaphor as a field of study in social sciences, it was concluded that organizations had linear, symbolic in the modern period and nonlinear structures in the postmodern period with fundamental philosophical differences.

Authors: Kornacka-Skwara Elżbieta
Published: February 2021

The aim of this article is to pay attention to difficult situations of con­temporary families. The author has con­ducted research of people who decided to emigrate and analyze family reasons of those decisions. In this article poses the question about the types of difficult situations experienced by the families of people with varying immigration deci­sions. Usually the literature provides the following types of difficult situations: the situation of deprivation, the overload­ing situations, the impediments situ­ation, the situation of conflict and the situation of danger. The main research question is: Are there any differences in the experience and perception of the dif­ficult situation for the family by people determined to emigrate and not interest­ed in emigration? Specific research ques­tions are: What situations are perceived as threatening, impeding or do not con­stitute a threat to the modern family? Is there a relationship between subjective perception of threats to the family and the decision of emigration. Which of the situation, create a sense of danger? In the present study author deepens the analysis – looking for factors that may be called family stressors (workloads or threats) and checks their relationship with the decision to emigrate. There are differences in the experience and per­ception of the difficult situation for the family by people determined to emigrate and not interested in emigration. There are also relationship between the deci­sion of emigration and sense of danger in own family.
Personalistyczne postrzeganie małżeństwa i rodziny profilaktyką współczesnych niebezpieczeństw zagrażających rodzinie
Authors: Puszcz Paulina
Published: February 2021

Personalism is a philosophical school of thought focused on thorough considerations around the human being. A few types and branches of personal­ism can be distinguished, for example by country of origin and development of thought, or by the analysis of differ­ent elements that constitute a human be­ing. On Polish ground, it is the teaching of St. John Paul II that deserves partic­ular attention. On the basis of a specific view on human beings in their integral and social dimension, personalism for­mulates a characteristic vision of mar­riage and family. It emphasizes the un­derstanding of family as a communi­ty of people, it teaches of the specificity of a relationship between a man and a woman, which leads to a tradition­al way of defining marriage and fami­ly. Consideration of biological, psycho­logical and spiritual dimensions of the functioning of a human being triggers a complex approach towards family. This means that it is the basis for deter­mining rules of psychological and spiri­tual establishment of marriage and fam­ily bonds. It also concerns the way of raising children, at the same time be­coming a special place for personal up­bringing. Reminding and promoting the abovementioned understanding of fam­ily can be a means of preventing threats of the modern world. This means that it can prevent the destruction of a family, as well as any attempts to redefine mar­riage and family – present in current so­cial reality. It can influence the process of supporting marriage and family with regard to appropriate communication, dealing with marriage crisis and with upbringing children. The way to per­form those preventive and supporting actions should first of all be the period of preparation for marriage, in a broad and direct aspect. Apart from that, in­cluding it in the constant formation of families may constitute a specific form of protection.

Design of a Resilient and Eco-friendly Microgrid for a Commercial Building
Authors: Sepúlveda-Mora Sergio Basilio , Hegedus Steven
Published: February 2021

Recent natural disasters such as hurricanes Harvey and Maria have caused great disruption to the electric grid system.

Additionally, government authorities have set ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, there is a growing interest in making the electric power systems more resilient while reducing their carbon footprint. In this work, a methodology to design a resilient and eco-friendly microgrid is presented. First, the input parameters of the model are defined; second, simulation of different

microgrid configurations are performed in HOMER Grid software; third, the outputs of the model are analyzed; and finally, a microgrid configuration is selected based on economic, environmental, and resilience criteria. The considered microgrids consist of PV, battery, natural gas generator, and the electric load of an office building that consumes an average of 2 MWh per day. Different component sizes were used to determine the configuration with the lowest generator size to provide power during a two-day outage in the summer peak load. Environmental and economic analysis were performed to show the tradeoffs between different system design goals. The results indicate that installing a microgrid in an office building with a 600 kW PV array and 2.8 MWh lithium-ion battery can avoid the release of up to 287 tons of CO2 per year. The same microgrid configuration can endure a two-day blackout during the highest electric demand in the hurricane season without the need of a polluting backup generator. From this study, it was concluded that the optimal microgrid configuration depends on specific needs. Additionally, based on current technology costs, large PV systems with small batteries are economically more attractive than the base case configuration.

Reducing of industrial atmospheric emissions using electrocyclone
Authors: Titov Anatolii , Shrimpton John , Shao Cheng , Li Zhuohan
Published: February 2021

The article is focused on capturing process-related dust at industrial enterprises (in chemical, metallurgical and energy industries). An electrocyclone can be recommended for the purification of gases emitted into the atmosphere from particulates, such as sodium percarbonate (efficiency 97.5%–99.9%), iron-vanadium concentrate (98.0% - 99.9%), fly ash (99.0%–99.9%). However, the fumes from copper-smelting furnaces cannot be purified with high efficiency (less than 50–60%) because of their properties. Using electrocyclone will reduce the amount of aerosol emissions, and in some cases, let the emission reach the values set by standards.

The effects of moisture content on filtration of mixed core soils in embankment dams
Authors: Shourijeh Piltan Tabatabaie , Soroush Abbas , Mehrjou Mohammad
Published: February 2021

Mixed or intermediate soils are widely used in the construction of embankment dams. Unfavourable climate conditions and poor quality control may result in the use of mixed soils as under-compacted dam cores, with moisture content highly in excess of the optimum. It is thus essential to design safe filters to prevent internal erosion and piping from wet, under-compacted mixed-soil cores in embankment dams. In this study, 87 no-erosion filter tests were performed on seven mixed core soils having dissimilar geotechnical specifications with diverse moisture contents and compaction ratios. The experimental findings showed that the filter performance (success or failure at preventing erosion) depends on moisture in excess of optimum, the filter D15(particle size with 15% finer in filter gradation) and the fines content of the core soil. An increase in excess moisture necessitates a smaller D15to inhibit erosion, to the extent that filters respecting accepted criteria may fail to hinder erosion in the case of excessively wet and under-compacted cores. Overall, for group II, cores the criterion of D15 < 0.7 mm was found to be applicable for soils with compaction ratios over 96%, provided that they are non-dispersive and have a fines content less than 80%. For a compaction ratio of 92–96%, the filter criterion of D15 < 0.5 mm is adequate.

Darting towards Storm Shelter: A minute dinosaur trackway from southern Africa
Authors: Bordy Emese M.
Published: February 2021

Theropod dinosaurs are considered the main terrestrial carnivores in the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Their rise to dominance has been linked to, among others, body size changes in their early history, especially across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary. However, to qualitatively assess such temporal trends, robust skeletal and trace fossil data sets are needed globally. The richly fossiliferous southern African continental rock record in the main Karoo Basin offers an unparalleled perspective for such investigations. Herein, by documenting a newly discovered Early Jurassic trackway of very small, functionally tridactyl tracks near Storm Shelter (Eastern Cape) in South Africa, the track record can be expanded. Based on ichnological measurements at the ichnosite and digital 3D models, the footprint dimensions (length, width, splay), locomotor parameters (step length, stride, speed), and body size estimates of the trackmaker are presented. In comparison to other similar tracks, these footprints are not only the smallest Grallator-like tracks in the Clarens Formation, but also the most elongated dinosaur footprints in southern Africa to date. The tracks also show that the small-bodied bipedal trackmaker dashed across the wet sediment surface at an estimated running speed of ~12.5 km/h. During the dash, either as a predator or as a prey, the trackmaker’s small feet sunk hallux-deep into the sediment. The tracking surface is overgrown by fossilised microbial mats, which likely enhanced the footprint preservation. Based on track morphometrics and the regional dinosaur skeletal record, the trackmakers are attributed to Megapnosaurus rhodesiensis (formerly Syntarsus rhodesiensis), a small-to-medium-sized, early theropod common in southern Africa.Significance:

A newly discovered Early Jurassic theropod trackway in South Africa contains not only the smallest tracks in the Clarens Formation, but also the most elongated dinosaur footprints in southern Africa to date.
The tracks show that the small bipedal trackmaker dashed across the wet sediment surface at an estimated running speed of ~12.5 km per hour.
During the run, the trackmaker’s feet sunk so deeply into the sediment that even the forwards-directed halluces were impressed.

An Analytical Study of Ideally Inherent Operative Transformation of the Original Mental Process in Edmund Husserl’s Phenomenology
Authors: Somphong Unyo Phramaha
Published: February 2021

This research paper entitled “An Analytical Study of Ideally inherent Operative Transformations of the Original Mental Process in Edmund Husserl’s Phenomenology” has three objectives: 1) to study the mental process of reflection and modification in which that mind is directed towards the intended object including the mental objects regarding Western philosophical thought, Edmund Husserl, 2) to study of the way to operative transformation of original mental process and, 3) to analyze various forms of transformed reproduction and a problem of the reproduction. It is found that the transformation of the original mental process in Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology is the ideally inherent process of reproduction of mental process in which the mental process passed through the modificative process together with its contents so as to produce a novel knowledge. The transformative process as such is systematically operated with main following aspects: (1) The mode of giveness (the immanent essence of a concrete sensation-content such as a visual sensation-content in the field of visual sensation-Data that is continually adumbrated from the visual physical objects), (2) the temporal mental processes are to be unified as one stream of mental process, (3) the phase or the temporal horizon which is cosmic time in other ways such as horizon of Now, horizon of Before, and horizon of After, and (4) pure ego, the function of which is to direct its regards to the temporal modes of giveness (immanent essences). By its transformative operation, it is effectively proceeded with three steps. The first is a step of a physical perception of the mental process in which the perceived physical things is used as an essential content for all mental process as they are kept in a memory. The second step is succeeded from the first step which is called a retention or a primary memory; the process of a modification using the immanent object kept in a retention as the initial part of the constitution of an identical object. Then, comes the third step which is the step of a recollection or a second memory; it is to recall the remembered or represented for the perception again. After the whole process has fully accomplished, the remembered or represented is afresh reproduced. However, the reproduction of the remembered or the represented can emerge with two possibilities; one is the vague-reproduced information as without repeating while looking at the reproduced flash; other is afresh one as it is repeated resulting in further perception. However, the reproduction of the remembered can be accurate and perfect depending on two conditions; one is the condition of the perception of physical things and the condition of either clarity or obscurity of the whole object that is re-presented with the mode of mental process.
