The role of cultural friction in the sociocultural integration micro-mechanisms in cross-border mergers and acquisitions
Authors: DURAND Muriel , DÍAZ PICHARDO René
Published: September 2024

This research explores the sociocultural micro-mechanisms driving the relationship between post-merger identification and organizational citizenship behavior which has been reiteratively observed but not explained in the mergers-and-acquisitions literature. Adopting a multi-paradigmatic research approach and social identity theory, we introduce interpersonal trust and cultural friction as a microfounded variable to address this research gap. Structural equation modeling on survey data from managers having experienced at least one cross-border merger and acquisition (CBM&A) offers evidence of a full mediation effect of interpersonal trust in this well-established relationship. Counterintuitively, cultural friction shows positive impacts. This study contributes to the field of CBM&As by demonstrating the usefulness of cultural friction as a microfounded variable in explaining identity formation and work-related attitudinal outcomes.

Memory and Book Sources in Cantemir’s History of the Ottoman Empire
Authors:   Biblioteca Națională a Franței, Paris, Franța, Lemny Ștefan
Published: September 2024

The essential role of memory as a cognitive function in the historian's work is well known, a role more important until the achievement of modern research requirements. Dimitrie Cantemir’s writings are worthy of interest from the perspective of the presence of the two practices. It is what he can see from the work that contributed the most to the author's acceptance in the scholarly world of the eighteenth century: History of the Ottoman Empire. Two aspects hold our attention: 1. The role of memory in feeding historical writing, in the form of personal memories or taken from others; 2. The role of information taken from the writings, either as they were preserved in the depths of his memory, without the possibility of having had them at hand at the time of writing, or by quoting them directly at the time of writing. In this way, one could penetrate deeper into the workshop of the historical creation of the prince scholar at a stage when the historiography was at a crossroads, between traditional practices, under the empire of orality and memoirs, and the exigencies of the modern critical spirit, but also between the model of oriental and Ottoman historiography and that of European writings.
A. J. Cronin: Bridging Life and Literature
Authors:   “George Emil Palade” University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of Târgu Mureș, Romania, Naznean Adrian
Published: September 2024

The life and literary contributions of Archibald Joseph Cronin have been understudied and there remains a need for deeper exploration. His most popular and successful novel, The Citadel, has been deemed to be a semi-autobiographical novel. Informed by Philippe Lejeune’s autobiographical pact, this study scrutinises the multifaceted elements that moulded Cronin’s journey. Tracing the historical contexts and formative experiences that shaped Cronin’s trajectory, this research casts some light on less-explored facets of his life. Embedding personal experience into his narrative, Cronin’s work captures the intricacies of medical practice, unveiling unethical practices, dubious treatments, and the significance of research and of occupational medicine. This study not only offers an encompassing portrayal of the literary figure, but also emphasises the link between personal encounters and artistic creation in shaping his literary work.
Love among Ruins. The Subversive Potential of Love in the Dystopian and Post-apocalyptic Fiction
Authors:   Universitatea din București, România, Roșca Mihai Robert
Published: September 2024

Love’s labor is an overwhelmingly present theme in the dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction, notably in the best-selling novels or blockbuster movies aimed at an YA audience, yet it is one of the least studied. Acknowledging this ubiquity of the love theme, the present paper seeks to explore possible views that might shed light on the reasons for such a cultural preference, both with the content creators and the public. One of the obvious perspectives, which is emphasized by Thomas Horan in his study published in 2018, Desire and Empathy in Twentieth-Century Dystopian Fiction, is that love goes together with the growing awareness of moral collapse in dystopian societies, and with a regeneration of the moral and social sense of responsibility. Particularly in classical dystopian texts such as Zamyatin’s We, Huxley’s Brave New World, Boye’s Kallocain or Orwell’s 1984, subversiveness derives from awakening and rejecting propaganda, which derives in turn from love. The same plot pairing can be noted in recent dystopias, including film texts, as briefly explored in Equilibrium, The Matrix, Oblivion, Mortal Engines or The Hunger Games, and particularly so in YA dystopian novels and movies.
Nonetheless, far from being the red thread of a grand narrative explaining the current growing appetency for dystopian and end-of-the-world stories, the love and revolt pair does offer other explanatory paths. Love/Eros is a natural companion in the plot of almost every human story, so it is not surprising to see it as such in dystopias as well. But we need to question the obvious answers. What we can suspect, with good reason, is that in dystopian fiction’s case it is also a culture industry’s recipe for character identification, softening the impact of rough descriptions of totalitarian or catastrophic contexts, but mostly raising hope and creating an eventual feel good mood. That is, it can be seen as a way to induce in the audience the awareness that as bad as the current times or society may seem, they are far less so than the fictionalized dystopian landscapes. Although several interpretation keys can be easily discerned from the analysis of the love theme’s presence in dystopian fiction, they can be wrapped-up in a twofold explanation of its function, keeping in mind, though, the obvious peril of oversimplification. On one hand, love seems to be a natural companion to anagnorisis, moral regeneration and subversiveness in dystopian and totalitarian times. On the other hand, back in the publishers’ and movies’ world, it pragmatically makes digestible a virulent critique of the existing society and establishment (in critical dystopias), and at the same time, love sells. The insertion of the love theme supports the marketable and profitable segments of the entertainment dystopian or post-apocalyptic fiction.
Absolute Freedom of Speech and Social Media: Deconstructing the Argument of Individual Self-Realization
Authors: Bresolin Keberson
Published: September 2024

The paper challenges the absolute conception of freedom of speech as an unconditional means for individual self-realization. Firstly, it discusses the positions of Scanlon and Redish, revealing the inherent vulnerabilities in their arguments. Subsequently, it argues against the view of unlimited freedom of speech as fundamental to self-realization. Finally, even if one were to accept the premise of self-realization as an axiom, social media would not qualify as suitable arenas for its actualization, given their inability to replicate the fundamental characteristics of a public sphere that favors open, plural, and rational debate. Keywords: self-realization, autonomy, Scanlon, social media, public sphere, Habermas.

Inicialmente, se discute la posición de Scanlon y Redish, revelando las vulnerabilidades inherentes a sus argumentos. A continuación, se argumenta en contra de la visión de una libertad de expresión ilimitada como esencial para la autorrealización. Finalmente, aun aceptando la premisa de la autorrealización como axioma, las redes sociales no se calificarían como arenas adecuadas para su efectuación, dada su incapacidad para replicar las características fundamentales de una esfera pública que favorezca el debate abierto, plural y racional.

Plataformización, automatización y aceleración en los medios sociales.
Authors: Tabarés Gutiérrez Raúl
Published: September 2024

La etapa de la “Web 2.0” despertó numerosas ilusiones sobre el potencial de los medios sociales para renovar y extender los espacios de deliberación, discusión y emancipación política de la ciudadanía. Sin embargo, la concentración empresarial que siguió al establecimiento de unas pocas plataformas como intermediarios culturales en el espacio digital ha propiciado diferentes reacciones en contra desde diferentes ámbitos. Este ensayo presenta los principales problemas de los medios sociales para la discusión y deliberación. En particular se identifican tres factores constituyentes de los mismos: plataformización, automatización y aceleración. Se argumenta que estos factores presentan serias amenazas para la salvaguarda de los derechos democráticos y se explora como el desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial generativa reforzará y extenderá estas amenazas.

Strengthening the BRICS Anti-Corruption Framework through Technology and International Cooperation
Authors: Campos da Costa Francisco
Published: September 2024

Corruption in procurement is a significant problem that can lead to financial losses, inefficiencies, and unfair competition. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has been proposed as a potential solution to detect and prevent corruption in procurement. However, there is a need to identify specific technologies being used in BRICS countries to enhance transparency and accountability in the public sector. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review of the use of AI techniques in detecting and preventing corruption in procurement in BRICS countries. Specifically, the study seeks to identify the most commonly used AI techniques, their effectiveness, and the challenges associated with their implementation. Additionally, the study aims to explore the role of international cooperation in strengthening anti-corruption efforts in BRICS countries. A systematic literature review was conducted using a comprehensive search strategy to identify relevant studies. The inclusion criteria were studies that focused on using AI techniques to detect and prevent corruption in procurement in BRICS countries. Data were extracted and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The main challenges associated with the implementation of AI techniques were data quality, privacy concerns, and the need for technical expertise. The review also highlighted the importance of international cooperation in sharing best practices and promoting transparency and accountability in the public sector. AI techniques show promise in detecting and preventing corruption in procurement in BRICS countries, while international cooperation can play a crucial role in strengthening anti-corruption efforts in BRICS countries by promoting transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.

Constitutional and Legal Regulation of the Powers of the Head of State in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Authors: Vyltsan Sergey
Published: September 2024

Iran is one of the three currently existing Islamic republics. And it is the only state built on the religious and ideological basis of Shiite Islam. One of the forms of realization of the religious nature of state power in this country is the presence of a special religious qualification for the head of state: he must be the most authoritative Shiite theologian. The purpose of the study is to determine the specifics of the constitutional and legal regulation of the powers of the head of the Iranian state (Supreme Leader, Rahbar). To do this, the author analyzed the original text of the Iranian Constitution, laws and other normative legal acts in relation to the declared area, and also studied the practice of the Supreme Leader in exercising certain constitutionally assigned powers. The author interpreted into Russian the content of some concepts and judgments that are essential for understanding the status of the head of state in Iran, enshrined in the Constitution of this country. The author came to the conclusion that the head of state in Iran does not formally belong to any of the branches of power, but occupies a position “above” the system of state bodies, exercising control over their activities. His special position is based on the postulates of the official religion of Iran, enshrined in the Constitution. The control of the Supreme Leader over the activities of state bodies and officials of the branches of power is mainly realized through the fact that he has broad personnel authority in relation to senior officials within all branches of power. The special significance of the head of Iran in the state mechanism is also revealed in the fact that he has a fundamental influence on the process of changing the Constitution in Iran.

Authors: Jafarov Azer
Published: September 2024

The 100 years, which had passed since the establishment of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation is rather a long path, strewed by creative successes and wormwood of scientific life. Therefore, within the framework of one journal article, it is impossible to carry out a comprehensive historical reconstruction of all stages of this thorny and long path. Having said this, the proposed article is a brief excursion into the history of establishment and development of this renowned temple of lawmaking and a farrier of scientific thought as well as into its legislative, research, educational and awareness-raising activities only. In particular, an attempt was made to show an invaluable contribution of the Institute’s outstanding scientists to the development of theory and methodology of law, to the research of its epistemological nature, ontological foundations and axiological peculiarities, to the formation of scientific schools and creation of fundamentally new directions in various branches of law; to analyze fundamental doctrines developed within the Institute, which had made an invaluable contribution to the development Soviet and Russian legal science; to disclose a historical significance of lawmaking activities of the Institute for the development of legal system and legislative technology both in Russia and far beyond its borders; to shed a light on the activities of the Institute’s creative team and its leadership related to the improvement of modern legislative framework of the Russian Federation, taking into account positive legislative experience of foreign countries, and further development of various branches of law as well as strengthening of scientific cooperation with the world’s legal research centers.

The Existence of Women in Discussing Gender Policy in the Parliament of North Aceh Regency
Authors: Rahman Dahlan A. , . Zulhilmi , . Taufik , . Nursanjaya , Abubakar Muhammad Bin
Published: September 2024

Gender strengthening is not only done by women activists and NGOs but also needs to be implemented by women politicians who are in government. The position of women politicians as rulers should be able to become play makers or drivers in fighting for women's rights in the conception of gender. However, this becomes a serious problem if women in government do not fight for policy aspects related to gender equality. Of course, gender-related policies can be realized if there is a political will from women politicians in parliament. The presence of women in the North Aceh District People's Representative Council (DPRK) is very important in discussing gender-related issues in parliament. The implementation of this research will use a qualitative method with a descriptive method. The results of the study illustrate that the role of women in parliament is minimal. This is inseparable from the number of seats obtained by only one person. The obstacles that can be found are the influence of culture, religion and the lack of popularity of female politicians in the community in North Aceh. Furthermore, the dominance of the influence of male politicians is stronger and makes women as sub ordinate or second person in the political process that occurs in North Aceh district. Women are also not given opportunities and are limited in political actualization.

This study explores the influence of perceived organizational culture and transformational leadership on innovative work behavior, with additional multiple linear regression analysis. Involving 150 employees, the study adopted a quantitative descriptive approach with questionnaires as the main survey instrument. Although quantitative methods provide a measurable analytical framework, it is important to be mindful of some potential weaknesses, including bias in the measurement of complex constructs and the limitations of statistical analysis. The addition of multiple linear regression analysis allowed the researcher to evaluate the extent of the influence of perceived organizational culture and transformational leadership on innovative work behavior of PT. sumber cipta multiniaga (dso jombang) jointly, while controlling for other factors that might influence the results. However, interpretation of multiple linear regression requires caution, due to assumptions about linearity and independence between variables. The statistical analysis tool SPSS version 25 is also worth noting, especially in the context of this complex study. Multiple linear regression analysis may provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the relationships between variables, but a qualitative or mixed methods approach may be needed to capture deeper context and nuance. The results of this study highlight the importance of an innovation-supportive organizational culture, employee perceptions of the work environment, and the role of transformational leadership in driving innovative work behaviours. The practical implications include the potential development of more effective management strategies, but keep in mind that further research is needed to deepen the understanding of these complex dynamics. By combining holistic quantitative and qualitative approaches, future studies may make more substantial contributions to sustainable and innovative management practices.
