Transformations of Epideictic in Eighteenth-Century Sweden

In early modern Sweden, epideictic literature was an important part of the country’s social and cultural life. Occasional texts were written and read in connection with weddings, funerals, coronations etc., mainly by members of the higher and middle social strata. The close connection to socio-cultural circumstances makes this kind of literature an indicator of different historical changes regarding, for example, gender, rhetorical and literary ideals, and the media.

In this essay, some of these changes, referred to as transformations of epideictic, are explored with regard to mid-18th century Sweden, when the slowly emerging public sphere brought about changes in public communication. Theories of epideictic in classical rhetoric (Aristotle, Quintilian, Cicero) and Swedish contemporary school rhetoric provide an introductory context. Next, two examples are discussed: first an essay with a subsidiary funeral poem written by Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht in which she introduces a new programme for the composition of panegyrics. Her programme indicates a new role for authors and suggests new publication strategies, as well as expressing enlightenment ideals and radical ideas of gender. Secondly, occasional poems written by the Moravian author Magnus Brynolph Malmstedt are analyzed. To propagate Moravian ideas was forbidden in Sweden at the time, but Malmstedt managed nevertheless to introduce his religious programme in public by using the seemingly harmless form of occasional poetry. The text discussed in the essay transcends the normative boundaries both from a political and rhetorical perspective while also mediating new ideas of communication, identity and civic authority.

The Borders of Academic Writing

This article contributes to the ongoing discussion of language and communication within literary scholarship. While public debate has been concerned with the so-called ‘crisis of the Humanities’, research and scholarly achievements continue to be produced, despite alarming reports about the uncertain future of the field. Throughout modern humanistic studies, scholars have communicated with colleagues as well as with the public, contributing vital knowledge about human thought and society. The article stresses the need to discuss the definition and methodology of humanistic research. It also stresses the importance of a wide variety of publications and publishing sites to maintain the depth and width of literary studies.

The Dissertation as Critical Practice: Other Forms, Other Media

This article (a talk presented at Lund University on October 12, 2012) explores linguistic and rhetorical form, and formal operations, in academic studies in comparative literature – and their relationship to form in poetry and fiction writing. The article also discusses how an awareness and exploration of academic language and formalistic decisions contributes to the academic text. Some examples (by Charles Bernstein and Christian Bök) of such an understanding of the critic’s language are discussed, and, eventually, the question of how new media and, more specifically, digital text can transform the language and form of academic literary studies is addressed through a brief look at the important online journal Vectors.

Writing for the Plot? Thoughts on Academics as Writers

In one of her books, bell hooks concludes: “All academics write, but not all see themselves as writers.” This paradoxical dilemma is the starting point for this article, which aims to explore and challenge the notion of academic writing and knowledge production as rational, un-gendered and disembodied intellectual activity. Against the backdrop of neoliberal research policies, with their accelerating demands for marketable and measurable results, it is perhaps more import than ever to claim, in the words of Martha C. Nussbaums, “faculties of thought and imagination” as the crucial but unquantifiable core of humanistic education and research. This article argues that the very naming of the practices and skills required for scholarly work affects our understanding of them in terms of professional competence and scientific authority. Furthermore, these normative thought patterns on what academic writing is; who performs it and how it is done often also reveals a hierarchized dichotomy between scientific and literary writing. What would happen if scholars in literary studies would ask themselves not only how, for instance, poetry can be theorized, but also how theory can be ‘poeticized’? Would it possible for the scholar to adopt narrative techniques such as travesty, metaphors and plot? Is it, in short, possible to not only read but also write for the plot? Thus, in highlighting the borderlines and sites of intersection between genres as possible sites of dialogue, the article promotes a plea for a genre-transgressive, embodied and emotional view of the methodologies and epistemologies of academic writing.

Technikai nevelés az új NAT szellemében
Authors: Velner András
Published: February 2023

Az iskola világában régtől fogva vállalt cél és törekvés tanulóink felkészítése az életre, társadalmi beilleszkedésük elősegítése. Ezeket a célokat a tartalmi szabályozó rendszer a köznevelési intézményrendszer szintjeitől függetlenül igyekszik képviselni minden életkor számára. Ebben a törekvésükben egységesek az általánosan képző- és a szakképző intézményeink is. Az egyik, szemléletében is nagyot váltó oktatási és tantervi reformunk 1978-ban zajlott. Ekkor váltotta fel a gyakorlati foglalkozás tantárgyunkat a technika tantárgy. A jelenleg velünk élő generációk közül az ötven évnél fiatalabbak már a technikai nevelés részesei lehettek. Mégis komoly kihívása volt az egymást váltó tantervezési rendszereknek, hogy az iskola világa, a gyakorlati életre való felkészítés lépést tudjon tartani az aktuális műszaki fejlődés színvonalával, a gyorsulva fejlődő világgal és az új kihívásokkal. A NAT2020 és a Technika és tervezés tantárgy kerettanterve a lehetőségekhez mérten úgy igyekszik tenni a közös célokért, hogy az alsó tagozatos tanuló az iskola világában az ismeretszerzés, az alkalmazás, a kipróbálás és a tanuláseredményesség élményén keresztül sajátíthassa el az alapvető technikai műveltségelemeket. Célunk a tevékenységközpontú élménypedagógia. A tantárgyban teret kap a kétkezi munka és a korszerű technológiákat alapozó anyagmegmunkálás.
Önképzőkörök, mint a tehetséggondozás terei a Debreceni Református Kollégium Gimnáziumának 1850–1950 közötti történetében
Authors: Fehér Ágota , Ács Marianna
Published: February 2023

A Debreceni Református Kollégium szerepe évszázadokon keresztül kiemelkedő volt a diákjai képességeinek kibontakoztatásában, a minőségi képzés kiváló eredményességhez segítette tanulmányaikat. A tanórán kívüli, önképzőköri tevékenységek szinte egyidősek az intézménnyel, azonban az Entwurf és az államosítás közötti időszakban sajátos fejlődéstörténete is volt mindennek. Kutatásunk során az intézményben kibontakozó széleskörű önképzőköri tevékenységeket tekintjük át 1850 és 1950 közötti időszakra vonatkozóan, mivel a nyolcosztályos gimnázium bevezetése, valamint további tanügyi változások sokrétű kibontakozást is jelentettek mindebben. A diákok az érdeklődési területük mentén olyan közösségnek lehettek tagjai, amely egyszerre jelentett ismeretekben való gyarapodást, valamint értelmező-, feldolgozó- és problémamegoldó készségben megmutatkozó fejlődést, inspiráló, elmélyülésre és alkotásra lehetőséget biztosító légkört. Mindez természetesen az egyéni kibontakozásuk támogatásán túl a kollégiumi közösség összetartását is gazdagította, kitartásuk eredményeként pedig további felelősségteljes helytállásukat tette lehetővé. Összességében a tehetséggondozásnak kiváló példái mutatkoztak meg a 19–20. században, s a módszertani tanulságokon túl olyan további területeken is kifejtették hatásukat, mint a könyvtári állomány és gyűjtemények bővítései, versenyek és más szereplések, megmutatkozások lehetőségei, valamint a közösségépítés hitéleti és további segítő vonatkozásainak mélyülése. Kutatásunk elsődleges forrásai az érintett időszakban a gimnáziumi értesítőkben megjelent önképzőköri beszámolók, szabályzat, s illeszkedő feldolgozások, összegzések. A kutatást a Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem Pedagógiai Karának Hitéleti képzések és a tehetséggondozás fejlesztése című pályázata támogatja.
Költségszámvitel, költségallokáció és vetítési alapok a magyar szállodaipar szereplőinek körében
Authors: Pajrok Andor
Published: February 2023

A vezetők döntéseinek támogatásához a számvitel nemzetközi szakirodalma kiemelt szerepet tulajdonít a költséginformációknak. A számvitel fejlődéstörténetében a költséginformációk széleskörű felhasználása figyelhető meg, a készletértékeléstől kezdve, a teljesítményértékelésen és az erőforrás-felhasználáson keresztül, egészen az eredményesség meghatározásáig. Napjainkban a számviteli szakirodalomban hangsúlyeltolódás tapasztalható a költséginformációk felhasználásának idősávjában. A költségszámvitel korai szakaszára jellemző múltorientáltságot egyre inkább a költséginformációk proaktív felhasználása váltja fel. A millennium küszöbén a vezetők szembesültek az üzleti környezet hektikus változásával, a technikai és technológiai folyamatok intenzitásának fokozódásával, a termékek életciklusának rövidülésével, a fogyasztói elvárások átalakulásával, melyek alapjaiban befolyásolták a költséginformációk előállításának módszertanát. A Szállodaipar Egységes Számviteli Rendszere (USALI) a költségszámvitel tartalmi keretére építve a szállodaiparban érintett vezetők információigényének enyhítése érdekében született meg. A dokumentum közel száz éves fennállása ellenére nem foglal állást a költségfelosztás kérdéséről. Jelen tanulmány a Magyar Éttermek és Szállodák Szövetsége tagsági jogviszonnyal rendelkező szálláshelyszolgáltatók köréből merített 74 elemű mintát tartalmazó empirikus kutatás eredményeit ismerteti.
Az iskolapszichológus lehetőségei az általános- és középiskolai oktatás folyamatában
Authors: József István
Published: February 2023

Az elmúlt években zajló társadalmi változások gyakran negatív irányba vitték a köznevelésben zajló folyamatokat. Az iskolákban egyre több probléma halmozódik fel, melyek megoldását a pedagógusok látszólagos kompetenciahiány miatt nem tudják, vagy nem akarják felvállalni. A tanulók inadekvát iskolai viselkedése miatt nehézzé, esetenként lehetetlenné válik az oktatási-nevelési feladatok eredményes végrehajtása, és egyre inkább látszik, hogy a megoldhatatlan, vagy annak látszó problémák kezelésére a pedagógusok által ismert és/vagy alkalmazott eszköztár nem alkalmas. A megoldáskeresésben gyakran fogalmazódott meg a problémák külső segítséggel történő megoldása, így az iskolapszichológia iránti szükséglet megjelenése vezetett ahhoz a társadalmi szükségszerűséghez, hogy az oktatási kormányzat a 2010-es évek elején létrehozta az iskolapszichológus hálózatot.

Resistance and counter-resistance to gender equality policies in Spanish universities
Authors: Castaño Collado Cecilia , Vázquez-Cupeiro Susana
Published: February 2023

Resistance in academia is a pervasive phenomenon. Gender equality was prescribed more than a decade ago in Spain, but the problem remains unsolved. Contributing to feminist institutionalism, this paper identifies both the manifestations of resistance intended to interfere in the implementation of gender equality initiatives in Spanish universities and the strategic responses enacted by gender equality agents to counteract those resistances. To this end, we conducted in-depth interviews with the female directors of Equality Units (EqUs) at six public universities in Madrid. Despite increasing support for gender equality, the research results confirm the existence of a complex web of resistance. EqUs deploy a wide range of strategies to neutralise the refusal to accept or comply with gender equality initiatives, but these are mainly, albeit not exclusively, embodied in actions of survival. We argue that although limited, these specialised bodies’ capacity for agency has not been obliterated and could be used to put alternative and more proactive counter strategies in place to bring about fundamental change. Overall, the findings yield new insights into the progress of and resistance to gender equality initiatives in universities.

This article aims to review the specialized literature regarding biomaterials based on collagen and polysaccharides useful in tissue regeneration. Collagen is the predominant protein in the animal body. The rather large spread of this protein, its physico-chemical and biological properties allow its use in the creation of materials that can come into direct contact with animal tissues, including human ones. Biomaterials based on collagen play an important role in tissue engineering. These can be spongy matrices, membranes or hydrogels. Combining collagen with different polysaccharides (cellulose, chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid) leads to the improvement of the physical-chemical, mechanical and biological properties of the resulting biomaterials. Studies have shown that they can be used in the regeneration of epidermal tissue, bone tissue, neural tissue, eye tissues. Collagen combined with chitosan can be used in bioprinting. The studies carried out on cell cultures demonstrated that the biomaterials resulting from the combination of collagen with different polysaccharides have a low degree of cytotoxicity. In various articles it was shown that these biomaterials have the physico-chemical properties (degree of biodegradability, degree of swelling, degree of porosity) necessary for tissue regenerative engineering.

Operational and technical measures in counteracting bribery-related corruption offences
Authors: Hribov Mykhailo
Published: February 2023

Legislators and developers of by-laws and regulations, theorists and practitioners consider anti-corruption as one of the priorities of Ukraine's domestic policy. However, the work of law enforcement agencies in detecting and investigating corruption offences is not sufficiently productive. But it is in the legal regulation of operational and technical measures and covert investigative actions that several problems have accumulated, which determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of the work is to outline the range of problems of legal regulation and the practical application of operational and technical measures and relevant covert investigative actions in combating corruption offences related to bribery. The methodological tools are chosen according to the chosen purpose and considering the object and subject of the study. The study is based on the general dialectical method of cognition, which is used to explore social and legal phenomena and processes, and to establish their connections with the work of operational and investigative units of law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and courts. In addition, general scientific and specific methods of legal science were used, including: logical-legal (dogmatic); system-structural; comparative legal and comparative; and sociological. It is substantiated that a necessary condition for increasing the efficiency of the application of operational and technical measures and relevant covert investigative actions in combating corruption offences is the specification and detailing of legislative provisions that establish the content and procedure for conducting some activities. The law should define all operational and technical measures (and relevant covert investigative (search) actions), clearly distinguishing between audio, and video control of: a person; a publicly inaccessible place; a publicly accessible place, and visual surveillance of a publicly accessible place using photography, video recording and special technical means for surveillance. The practical value of the work is conditioned upon the prospects of using the results
Theoretical and applied principles of the phenomenon of counteracting psychophysiological research by using a polygraph
Authors: Motliakh Oleksandr , Widacki Jan
Published: February 2023

The relevance of the research is conditioned upon the fact that nowadays, in the practice of psychophysiological research, polygraph examiners are increasingly faced with the phenomenon of opposition from the subjects, who thus try to distort or distort the results obtained through using instrumental methods of psychodiagnostic. The purpose of this research is to highlight and analyse the various ways in which insincere persons can counteract these studies and the signs that indicate their use. The main components of the methodological toolkit are the dialectical method of scientific knowledge of real phenomena and general scientific and special methods of polygraphy. The author substantiates the techniques and methods of counteracting psychophysiological research by using a polygraph through the relevant signs that indicate them. It has been established that currently, the most common forms of counteracting psychophysiological research using a polygraph are physical (mechanical) methods that have external physical manifestations through the targeted mechanical action of the person under investigation and perform a distracting function from the instrumental testing procedure. The author considers physiological methods that involve a change in the examinee's psychophysiological state through the effect of excessive physical activity on the body performed or applied on the eve of a polygraph examination, which causes fatigue or demonstrates exhaustion of human strength. It was noted that, based on the identified signs and methods of counteraction, the polygraph examiner decides on the time of postponement of the examination procedure or further refusal to conduct it. The practical significance of the work consists in the fact that the methods of counteracting the research procedure, and signs of psychophysiological reactions used by insincere individuals, substantiated in it, will avoid errors in the work of a polygraph examiner, and will obtain a high level of reliability of the results of research using a polygraph
Modern possibilities of using unmanned aerial vehicles by Police authorities and units: Analysis of foreign and Ukrainian experience
Authors: Yefimenko Ihor
Published: February 2023

The relevance of the research subject is conditioned upon the scientific originality and practical significance of using modern capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles by police authorities and units. The relevance of the research issue is that the provisions of the current legislation defining the legal basis for using unmanned aerial vehicles by police authorities and units are mostly formally defined. Based on this, and considering that the law enforcement system has encountered new challenges which constantly require the introduction of the latest methods and means of countering crime, including using modern achievements of digital, technological, scientific and technical progress, the purpose of this research is to analyse the foreign experience of using unmanned aerial systems by law enforcement agencies, and based on this, to develop proposals for improving the current legislation in the part concerning using UAVs. The research methodology includes a combination of general scientific and special methods that allow for defining assumptions and drawing conclusions. The research examines the relevant issues of the day concerning using the technical capabilities of unmanned aerial systems in the course of performing the tasks assigned to police agencies and units. In particular, the author examines the international experience of some technologically advanced countries (the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, China and Israel) in using modern capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles by law enforcement agencies. Attention is devoted to the development of the aviation industry of Ukraine in terms of the design of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, and the prospects for their implementation in the activities of the National Police. The author outlines the main prospects for using unmanned aerial vehicles in the activities of police agencies and units. In particular, those related to the protection of public order, road safety, detection, suppression and counteraction to criminal and administrative offences, and protection and defence of human rights and freedoms, life and health. The scientific originality and practical significance of the research are that it highlights the current possibilities of using unmanned aerial vehicles by police authorities and units, outlines some issues of a working nature which require resolution, and, based on international experience, identifies the areas for improvement of the current legislation on using unmanned aerial vehicles by the National Police
Problems of administrative liability for domestic violence against children
Authors: Maksymenko Olena
Published: February 2023

The scientific research reflected in the content of this study is devoted to the main theoretical, legal and practical issues of administrative liability for domestic violence against a child. The purpose of the study – outline the specific features of protection of a child's right against domestic violence in Ukrainian legislation and identify the factors which indicate the necessity to distinguish domestic violence against a child as an administrative offence with more serious consequences, and, accordingly, to apply a more severe penalty to the offender. According to the purpose and specifics of the subject matter of the study, the author has applied a set of methods: philosophical methods – dialectical, phenomenological and others; general scientific methods: systematic, induction, deduction of analysis, synthesis, analogy, comparison; and methods of a specific legal science: comparative-legal, legal statistics, legal generalisation, legal analysis, formal-legal etc. The study examines the definition of domestic violence under Ukrainian law and summarises some ways to counteract this phenomenon. It is emphasised that the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences does not distinguish between the specifics of administrative liability for domestic violence against an adult and a child. However, according to statistical studies, the number of children suffering from domestic violence is increasing every year. It highlights the relevance of the study. The practical value is that the study identifies and characterises the main theoretical, legal and practical issues of administrative liability for domestic violence against a child, and develops substantiated proposals for amending Article 173-2 of the Code of Administrative Offences

Published: February 2023

OBJECTIVES: Vestibular migraine is the leading cause of episodic vertigo and the second most common cause of dizziness in adults, due to its high prevalence, negative impacts on individual health, and increased public health expenditures, preventive treatment should be implemented early. This paper aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Flunarizine as a preventive for vestibular migraine crises in comparison to other drugs.   METHODS: We searched the databases for scientific articles using the terms (vestibular migraine OR migrainous vertigo) AND (Flunarizine) AND (prophylaxis). Subsequently, a systematic literature review and meta-analysis was performed, with the inclusion of 3 randomized clinical trials. The studies were analysed by making a ROB table, analysis using the GRADE method, and meta-analysis. RESULTS: Qualitatively, the analysis showed that Flunariniza was positive for decreasing the frequency of vertigo in cases of vestibular migraine, with moderate degree of evidence, relative risk of 0.34 and confidence interval 0.15 to 0.76. The meta-analysis showed a positive result of Flunarizine as a preventive drug for the study population. No serious side effects were reported from the use of the medication, which makes it safe for use by patients. CONCLUSION: Flunarizine is a good drug for prevention of vestibular migraine.

Published: February 2023

The growing environmental concerns have led to the formulation of new coating strategies by employing inherently waterborne binders as a key component in order to eliminate the toxic volatile organic solvents from protective coatings. Hura crepitans L. seed oil (HCSO) was extracted from the seed pulp via solvent extraction and characterized using standard methods. Cottonseed oil (COSO), palm kernel oil (PKO), and HCSO were used in the formulation of emulsion alkyd resins (EMAR) via a two-stage alcoholysis-polyesterification process followed by the introduction of maleic anhydride in the polymer backbone and neutralization of the free acid functionality with triethylamine (TEA). Three grades EMAR (50%) were prepared using these oils, phthalic anhydride, glycerol, and maleic anhydride. The percentage yield of HCSO was 87.93%. While the iodine and acid values of HCSO were 145.90 g I2/100 g and 1.26 mg KOH/g respectively. COSO emulsion alkyd (CWAR), HCSO emulsion alkyd (HWAR), and PKO emulsion alkyd (PWAR) were highly soluble in water, while the iodine value of 81.38 gI2/100g, 85.02 gI2/100g, and 10.45 gI2/100g was recorded for CWAR, HWAR, and PWAR respectively. The solid content of the binders varied between 84.88 – 85.48%. While the viscosity varied between 1756.00 – 1768.00 mpa.s. HCSO and COSO can serve as good starting raw materials for the synthesis of environmentally friendly waterborne alkyd resin.

Geometrical Engineering for Implementing Stretchable
Electronics
Authors: Lee Seungkyu , Yang Jun Chang , Park Steve
Published: February 2023

Recently, soft and stretchable electronics integrated with various functional
devices are attracting attention as they can be used for stretchable display,
stretchable battery, and electronic skin (e-skin). It is essential to impart
stretchability to the electrical components (e.g., electrodes and devices).
However, conventional materials used in electronics have low stretchability,
which hinders the development of stretchable electronics. To solve this problem,
various strategies for geometrical engineering that enhance stretchability to
rigid materials have been reported. In this paper, geometrical engineering such
as serpentine, kirigami, and island structures are discussed, focusing on the
progress of recent developments and future prospects.
Investigation of Electrical and Mechanical Reliability of
Inkjet-Printed 4-Terminal Microelectromechanical Relays
Authors: Chung Seungjun , Kwon Hyuk-Jun , Jang Jaewon
Published: February 2023

We investigate the mechanical and electrical reliability of inkjet-printed
4-terminal (4T) microelectromechanical (MEM) relays in various failure modes.
Since an inkjet-printed mechanical relay exhibits an extremely low on-resistance
(~4 Ω), the endurance of MEM relays can be limited dominantly by Joule
heating from the high current density at the contacting asperities, which
eventually leads to welding-induced and electromigration failures. Therefore,
high drain-source voltage can reduce the mean number of cycles to failure
(MCTF). In addition, the endurance also depends on the structural fatigue of the
floated beams, where the mechanical strain is concentrated near the junction
area of the two floated beams. Thermal and mechanical stress distributions of
the suggested printed 4T MEM relay are analyzed by 3-dimensional affected
significantly by charging of the dielectric or oxidation of the contacting
surface which can degrade a pull-in voltage and on-current, respectively.
Inkjet-Printed Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Thin-Film Transistors
with Fluorinated Polymer Dielectrics
Authors: Oh Sun Moo , Seo Hyojoo , Ryu Ka Yeon , Kong Hoyeoul , Kim Se Hyun
Published: February 2023

In this study, we introduce the organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) employing
inkjet-printed single-wall carbon nanotubes (SW-CNTs) and fluorinated acryl
copolymer as a semiconductor and gate dielectric, respectively. The fluorinated
acryl copolymers have the altered surface properties (such as surface energy,
surface roughness, and surface potential) by changing the molar ratio of
fluorinated monomer to the copolymer. Higher fluorine content led to the
increase in the surface potential and the decrease in the surface energy and
surface roughness. In particular, the fluorine content in the polymer surface
could change the wettability and areal density of the inkjet-printed SW-CNTs.
Therefore, the optimized fluorine content could provide best electrical
performance with the OTFTs employing the printed SW-CNTs.
Changing Political Elite Network Dynamics and the Fate of Democracy
Authors: Singh Sourabh
Published: February 2023

In this article, I adopt insights from social network analysis to document and explain changes in India’s ruling political elite’s network that led to the end of a brief period of authoritarianism, known as the Emergency period, in postcolonial India. Using data on the political elite’s interactions and point of view, and utilizing network analysis methods, I show that Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s political trajectory made her expect loyalty, not clientelistic exchanges, from members of her political network. During the first year of the Emergency period, a new political elite shifted its loyalty from Mrs. Gandhi to her son Sanjay, a political novice. If the interactions among the political elite had continued, Sanjay’s clique likely would have pushed Mrs. Gandhi from the center to the periphery of political elite networks. Hence, I argue that Mrs. Gandhi called for elections and ended the Emergency to reestablish her centrality in the political elite networks. This article contributes to the cultural turn in the study of political networks by highlighting the importance of the political elite’s history of interactions within political networks, allowing us to comprehend the elite’s current strategies for reproducing or transforming its network position.
Israeli Border Police Commanders’ Perspectives on Leading Ad Hoc Teams during Routine and Emergency Operations

Published: February 2023

This study asks the question, How do police commanders view leadership in ad hoc formations during assigned operations? In the era of a post-heroic society, security organizations have adopted the negation of risk and the avoidance of violence as important principles. These principles are reflected in the perceptions of those leading ad hoc teams. This article presents an analysis of thirteen in-depth interviews with experienced members of the Israel Border Police who are in command of companies up to the level of battalion. The narratives of the commanders reveal a distinction between a “mission” and an operational “event” as they acknowledge the “flammability” of tasks during command operations in both Israel and the West Bank. We conclude that much of the commanders’ confidence during such operations stems from their close knowledge of the operational arena as well as the practical operational experiences they have had. Specifically, the article concludes that commander competence is manifested by the combination of their leadership style and the intimate knowledge they possess about the professional qualities of the participants in the diverse ad hoc teams they command made up of personnel from military, police, and security organizations.
The Rise of the Party in Arms
Authors: Van Ree Erik
Published: February 2023

This article discusses the origin and nature of a novel type of revolutionary organization that emerged in the years between 1890 and 1914: the “party in arms.” A party in arms can be defined as a political party that possesses its own military branch. During this time parties in arms sprang up in eastern Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and Latin America. This article shows how the emergence of the party in arms was part of a wider process of modernization that played out over the course of the last two centuries. Revolutionary organizations developed from relatively simple to more complex and differentiated “bureaucratic” organisms, manifesting deepening and more sophisticated, functional divisions of labor. This was a global process. This article explores some of the sociological implications of these findings, touching on classical sociology, postcolonialism, and new global history writing.

Evaluating Human-Computer Interaction at Design Time: an experience report with MoLVERIC Check in a MOOC environment
Authors: Rêgo Beatriz Brito do , Garrido Filipe Adeodato , Rosa Jean C. S. , Matos Ecivaldo
Published: February 2023

The Modeling Language for Interaction as Conversation (MoLIC) is an epistemic tool inspired by Semiotic Engineering to model (human-computer) interaction through diagrams. MoLVERIC check (MCheck) is a diagram inspection technique developed for MoLIC, whose objective is to identify defects that would propagate in the modeled system's implementation and become communication interruptions. In this sense, this article is an experience report of evaluating a massive open online course (MOOC) environment through MoLIC, and predicting the quality of interaction to mitigate disruptions of metacommunication by MCheck. Although MCheck supports the inspection of MoLIC diagrams, in this article, we noticed the lack of MoLIC elements in the MCheck, indicating that this technique needs to evolve.
