The basic terminology of the modern military logistics
Authors: Kostiuchenko Lesia , Solomon Dmytri
Published: June 2020

The article reveals the content of the military logistics basic terms. Different approaches to the construction of conceptual foundations, structure and functionality of this area are considered. The meaning of the term “logistics of the defense sector” is substantiated. The spheres and functionality of military logistics are outlined. The conditions for the integration of logistics and medical support systems, which are able to provide support to all components of the defense forces and the civilian population of the country, have been studied. The research is based on the main strategic goals of the state in the framework of defense reform: the National Security Strategy of Ukraine to ensure Ukraine’s integration into the European Union and the formation of conditions for NATO membership. Approaches to structuring definitions and concepts of modern military logistics taking into account the military-political realities of Ukraine are offered. The term “military logistics” is proposed to be interpreted in two ways: first, as a practical activity (a means of implementing operational, tactical or strategic tasks of the defense sector in real resources and time); secondly, as a scientific field aimed at developing models for optimizing the logistics processes of the state defense sector.

Curriculum Differentiation’s Capacity to Extend Gifted Students in Secondary Mixed-ability Science Classes
Authors: IRELAND Christine , BOWLES Terence , BRİNDLE Kimberley , NİKAKİS Susan
Published: June 2020

Investigated were differences between teachers’ and students’ perceptions of curriculum differentiation strategies to extend highly able students in mixed-ability secondary science classes. Gifted underachievement and disengage-ment is increasing in Australian schools, potentially linked to these percep-tion differences regarding curriculum differentiation. 161, Year 7 students, aged aproximately 11 years (n = 29 highly able; n = 132 non-highly able), and 43 science-trained teachers were surveyed. Examined were students’ and teachers’ perceptions of the importance and achievability of 24 curriculum differentiation strategies, within the curriculum components of content, pro-cess, product, and environment. Significant dissimilarities occurred regard-ing curriculum differentiation strategies having been achieved at least once during every work unit. In particular, some strategies requiring modification of the learning environment were considered by highly able students to be significantly less frequently achieved, compared to teachers’ perceptions. Im-plications for policy and practice were explored. Further research of curricu-lum differentiation that includes students’ perspectives is required.

Published: June 2020

Background: Pseudo-epitheliomatous Hyperplasia (PEH) is a benign proliferation of epithelium occurring in response to various neoplastic lesions, infections and inflammatory processes. It can be mistaken especially in small biopsies for an invasive oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The objective of this study was to determine the expression and comparison of immunohistochemical marker E-cadherin in OSCC and PEH lesions. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Histopathology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from January 2013 to March 2016. 60 paraffin embedded cases, 30 each of PEH and OSCC were retrieved and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. They were then immune-stained with E-cadherin and expression evaluated and compared in two lesions by histopathologist. Age, sex, site of lesion and E-cadherin expression were variables. Age was described by mean and SD and other variables as frequency and percentages. Results: Mean age of OSCC group was 60.1±17.3 years and PEH group 52.7±16.6 years. OSCC group included 16 (53.33%) men and 14 (46.67%) women. PEH group included 18 (60%) men and 12 (40%) women. In OSCC group, site of lesion was buccal mucosa 12 (40%) cases, gingiva 10 (33.3%), tongue 7 (23.3%) and floor of mouth 1 (3.4%) case. In PEH group, site of lesion was buccal mucosa 12 (40%) cases, tongue 11 (36.67%), gingiva 6 (20%) and palate 1 (3.3%) case. The expression of E-cadherin was negative in all 30 cases of OSCC and positive in 29/30 (96.67%) cases in PEH. Conclusion: E-cadherin can be used as an ancillary marker in the differentiation of oral squamous cell carcinoma and pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia.

Published: June 2020

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a principal cause of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The placenta, as a vector for maternal-fetal nutrient and oxygen exchange has major influence on birthweight. The objectives of this study were to compare the placental weight (grams), number of syncytial knots and number of blood vessels in villi of IUGR placentas versus normal placentas. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at Rai Medical College, Sargodha, Pakistan in collaboration with Zainab Memorial Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from December 2016 to November 2018. Study group included 45 IUGR placentas and control group included 25 normal placentas. Placental weight in grams, number of syncytial knots and number of blood vessels in villi of placentas were three research variables. These were described by mean, minimum, maximum, range and standard deviation for each group separately and were compared between the two groups through independent-samples t-test. Results: Descriptively the mean placental weight in grams in IUGR group (423.35±64.13g) was lower than control group placentas (535.92±44.57g). The number of syncytial knots in IUGR group placentas (22.04±5.21) was more than control group placentas (13.84±4.41). The number of blood vessels in IUGR placentas was lower than control group placentas. All three null hypothesis for research variables between the two groups were rejected (p=

Cancer has been a fatal disease since many decades. Over the time, it is presented in multiple ways and is a matter of consideration as accounts for the high rate of mortality. The aim of the current review was to focus on the genetics, epigenetics factors and role of medicinal plants for the cure of this inimical disease. Related articles available in English language (2002-2018) were reviewed with help of different database, including PubMed, Springer Link, Medline, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. In order to ensure credibility and accuracy of data only those articles were considered which are published in indexed journals i.e. Web of Science and Scopus. This project was conducted at the Department of Pharmacy, Government College University, Faisalabad, Pakistan from 02-01-2019 to 28-02-2019. The genetic machinery is vibrantly involved in the interpretation of the signals and is observed to be affected by various dietary factors. A sequence of modified activities is observed with use of these dietary elements. However, the modification is reviewed through the histone acetyltransferase (HAT), histone deacetylase (HDAC) and DNA methyl transferase (DNMTs), effecting the expression of gene. These modified genes, in turn then express the signals in multiple reformed ways. Different dietary elements that are used such as polyphenol, alkaloid and flavonoids are effective against cancer. The progression of disease involves genetics and epigenetics due to amplification, translocation and mutation during gene expression. Though, many studies have been conducted elaborating the role of plants and their ingredients which play a part in inhibition of cancerous cells by blockade of cell cycle and apoptosis; more in-depth investigations are still required to identify the new drug target and novel therapeutic modalities.
Special Force
Authors: MacKenzie Alastair
Published: June 2020

The exploits of the British Army's elite 22nd Special Air Service Regiment - the regiment of the SAS that forms part of the Regular army - are shrouded in mystery and myths abound about its members. But what is the truth behind the public facade of clinical professionalism? How has such a small regiment attracted so many weighty legends? And what is the purpose of the SAS in the 21st century? "Special Force" provides an original and unusually critical overview of the activities of the SAS from the Malayan Emergency of 1950 to the present day. In the context of a detailed and often controversial analysis of the post-war activities of the Regiment, MacKenzie establishes that the Regiment's almost legendary professional competence is often not backed up by reality. Far from being part of a structured deployment of strategic military assets, MacKenzie argues that the use of the SAS in recent years has been primarily driven by the 'entrepreneurial' actions of a few SAS commanding officers. "Special Force" not only offers a revelatory history of the SAS in the modern period, it is also a disturbing expose of the truth behind the myth.

It will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the British military - past, present and future.
Busks, Basques and Brush-Braid
Authors: Inder Pam
Published: June 2020

The dressmaking trade developed rapidly during the 18th and 19th centuries, changing the lives of thousands of British workers. Busks, Basques and Brush-Braid focuses on the trade and the people within it, from their working conditions and earnings to their training, services and relationships with customers.

Exploring the lives of dressmakers in fact and fiction, the book looks at representations of the trade in the plays and novels of the time, while surveying the often harsh realities of the workers’ lives. From the arrival of the sewing machine to the influence of the department store, it explores the impact of mechanization, commercialization and modernity on a historical trade. Pamela Inder illuminates a new world of dressmaking enabled by goods like paper patterns and magazines, and sets out to investigate the increasing monopoly of female dressmakers in an industry once dominated by male tailors.

Drawing on a range of original and hitherto unpublished sources – including business records, diaries, letters, bills and newspaper articles – Busks, Basques and Brush-Braid reveals the untold story of the dressmaking trade. Beautifully illustrated with over 80 images, the book brings dressmakers into focus as real people, granting new insights into working class life in 18th- and 19th-century Britain.
Consuming Scenography
Authors: Tabački Nebojša
Published: June 2020

Longlisted for the PQ Best Publication Award in Performance Design & Scenography 2023

Consuming Scenography offers an insight into contemporary scenographic practice beyond the theatre. It explores the ways in which scenography is used to create a global cultural impact and accelerate profits in the site-specific context of themed shopping malls. It analyses the effect of the architectural, aesthetic, spatial, material and sensory aspects of design through their performative encounters with consumers in order to offer a better understanding of performance design.

In the first part the author explores the spatial seduction of an enclosed market space and traces the origins of scenographic temporality in permanent architectonic spaces for trade and commerce, from ancient Greek and Roman roofed markets and Oriental bazaars to 19th-century arcades and department stores to modern-day shopping malls. The second section addresses the site-specific theatricality of the shopping mall, considering the use of performative aspects of scenography in the creation of corporate identity. It engages with production and consumption of experience in themed shopping malls, using historical, aesthetical, social and political lenses. In the final section, the author intertwines fluidity of market changes with flexibility of scenographic matter, drawing attention to both contradictions and prospects that merging of scenography and architecture can bring along.

Considering a variety of case studies of themed shopping malls, including the Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai, Terminal 21 in Bangkok, the Villaggio in Doha and Montecasino in Johannesburg, as well as further examples from Europe, USA and Asia – this book provides a wide-ranging critical examination of the ways in which scenographic thinking and practices are exploited in wider cultural contexts for impact, branding, and higher profits.
Eat, Drink, Think
Authors: Roochnik David
Published: June 2020

What role does food play in the shaping of humanity? Is sharing a good meal with friends and family an experience of life at its best, or is food merely a burdensome necessity? David Roochnik explores these questions by discussing classical works of Greek literature and philosophy in which food and drink play an important role.

With thoughts on Homer’s The Odyssey, Euripides’ Bacchae, Plato’s philosopher kings and Dionysian intoxication, Roochnik shows how foregrounding food in philosophy can open up new ways of understanding these thinkers and their approaches to the purpose and meaning of life. The book features philosophical explanation interspersed with reflections from the author on cooking, eating, drinking and sharing meals, making it important reading for students of philosophy, classical studies, and food studies.
Assessing the annual risk of vehicles being hit by a rainfall-induced landslide: a case study on Kennedy Road in Wan Chai, Hong Kong
Authors: Lu Meng , Zhang Jie , Zhang Lulu , Zhang Limin
Published: June 2020

Abstract. Landslides threaten the safety of vehicles on highways. When
analyzing the risk of a landslide hitting moving vehicles, the spacing
between vehicles and the types of vehicles on the highway can be highly
uncertain and have often been omitted in previous studies. Using a highway slope in Hong Kong as a case study, this paper presents a method
for assessing the risk of moving vehicles being hit by a rainfall-induced landslide; this method also allows for the possible number of different types of vehicles hit by the
landslide to be investigated. In this case study, the annual failure
probability of the slope is analyzed based on historical slope failure data
from Hong Kong. The spatial impact of the landslide is evaluated based on an
empirical run-out prediction model. The consequences of the landslide are assessed using
probabilistic modeling of the traffic, which can consider uncertainties in the
vehicle spacing, vehicle types and slope failure time. Using the suggested
method, the expected annual number of vehicles and people hit by the
landslide can be conveniently calculated. This method can also be used to derive the
cumulative frequency–number of fatalities curve for societal risk
assessment. Using the suggested method, the effect of factors like the annual
failure probability of the slope and the density of vehicles on the risk level of
the slope can be conveniently assessed. The method described in this paper
can provide a new guideline for highway slope design in terms of managing
the risk of landslides hitting moving vehicles.
Rizomas etno-cinematográficos: un estudio de Manta Ray (Puttiphong Aroonpheng, 2018) y Una tierra imaginada (Yeo Siew Hua, 2018)
Authors: Malaina Martín Alvaro
Published: June 2020

El artículo introduce el concepto de “rizoma etno-cinematográfico”, construido a partir del marco conceptual de Gilles Deleuze. Se trataría de un modelo de conocimiento y presentación de un mundo etno-social construido con imagen y sonido, donde el eje vertebrador es el tiempo y que se expresa apelando a la percepción sensorial del espectador. Es un modelo caracterizado por la multiplicidad y no jerárquico que, mediante un agenciamiento de sensaciones, memorias, sueños, mitos, abre la subjetividad y el tiempo a potencialidades virtuales. Se pone el ejemplo de dos películas recientes: Manta Ray (Kraben Rahu, Puttiphong Aroonpheng, 2018) y Una tierra imaginada (A Land Imagined, Yeo Siew Hua, 2018) constituidas como rizomas etnográficos para el conocimiento de los refugiados rohingya en Tailandia y los trabajadores migrantes chinos en Singapur.
La construcción cultural del asesino en serie en el cine de terror (1960-1980): Michael Myers y Samuel Loomis en La noche de Halloween (1978)
Authors: Tiburcio Moreno Erika
Published: June 2020

El asesino en serie no puede ser entendido únicamente como una categorización criminológica sino también como un constructo discursivo necesario para mantener el orden social. Su monstruosidad en el cine de terror y en los medios ha servido para reforzar la labor de salvaguardar la “pureza” normativa por parte del psiquiatra/criminólogo. La metodología seguida se ha basado en la interdisciplinariedad de los estudios culturales y, en particular, en el análisis fílmico e histórico del periodo. Además, la muestra de setenta películas analizadas en este estudio nos ha permitido observar la existencia de una serie de tendencias. Entre los principales resultados, cabe destacar la similitud de la monstruosidad y la normalidad en relación con la ordenación jerárquica de las categorías mentales.
Ajji (Abuelita): relato simbólico y escena primaria en la narrativa fílmica india de violación y venganza
Authors: López Díez Jaime
Published: June 2020

El presente estudio analiza la película india del género de violación y venganza Ajji (Devashish Makhija, 2017) y su relación con el inconsciente. Sus objetivos son identificar estructuras del inconsciente en el relato de Ajji para constatar si se trata de un relato simbólico desde la teoría del relato y la hipótesis de escena primaria de tipo “figura agresora materna” propuestas por González Requena. Con tal fin hemos empleado una metodología mixta cualitativo-cuantitativa, con un análisis de contenido de Ajji; un análisis de contenido de cuatro películas del mismo género estrenadas en India el mismo año; y una entrevista al director de la película, así como la revisión de otras entrevistas al mismo. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que Ajji no constituye un relato simbólico y manifiesta una escena primaria del tipo “figura agresora materna”.
Robotic Sacrocolpopexy for Treatment of Apical Compartment Prolapse
Authors: Ko Kwang Jin , Lee Kyu-Sung
Published: June 2020

Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is the gold-standard treatment for apical compartment prolapse, as it is more effective and durable than the transvaginal approach. In the current era of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy techniques have been described, but have not gained popularity due to their complexity and steep learning curves. To overcome this problem, robotic sacrocolpopexy was introduced, and has shown equivalent outcomes and safety compared to open and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy based on findings that have been accumulated over 15 years.
Innovative Insulating Materials from Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) Straw for Building Applications
Authors: Uitterhaegen Evelien , Labonne Laurent , Merah Othmane , Talou Thierry , Ballas Stéphane , Véronèse Thierry , Evon Philippe
Published: June 2020

Straw represents 60-80% of the aerial part of the coriander plant. Because of the increasing demand for vegetable oil from fruits for food, cosmetics or the chemical industry, the availability of straw will grow strongly in the future. Its high lignocellulose content (62%) makes this crop by-product an interesting raw material for producing bio-based building materials. Bulk materials can be obtained by refining the straw through twin-screw extrusion in the presence of water. The fiber aspect ratio of refined straw can be varied (22.9-26.5) by applying different liquid/solid ratios (0.4-1.0), leading to a variation in the tapped density of the resulting bulk material (110-61 kg/m3). For the lowest density, thermal conductivity is 47.3 mW/(m.K). Twin-screw refining can also be conducted from an aqueous borax solution. Refined straw thus becomes fire-proofed, making it usable as loose fill in housing. Insulation blocks of medium density, associating straw and a starch-based binder, can also be produced through compression molding. With a density of 155 kg/m3 and a thermal conductivity of 55.6 mW/(m.K), the optimal cohesive blocks (7.5 mm milled straw and 15% binder), cold-pressed at 87 kPa for 30 s, are promising alternatives for the thermal insulation of buildings (e.g., filling of walls, interior partitions, etc.).
Predicción de BPN a 32 Semanas de Gestación en Hospital Nacional General. Modelo De Cilindro
Authors: Hernández Svendblad Pilar
Published: June 2020

El bajo peso al nacer (BPN) corresponde a la causa más importante que afecta a la mortalidad neonatal y a la morbilidad infantil. Algunos estudios muestran una fuerte relación entre el bajo peso al nacer y factores biológicos de la madre, socioeconómicos y sanitarios, por ejemplo, altura materna, pobreza y bajo número de controles prenatales, respectivamente. Debido a que estos factores no pueden ser solucionados de manera inmediata, se intentó desarrollar un modelo predictivo que los omitiera, y, además, sea accesible a los establecimientos de salud, clínicas, hospitales, independientemente si son públicos o privados, pero especialmente aquellos que no disponen de equipo tecnológico suficiente para llevar un monitoreo fetal adecuado. Para atender tal objetivo se llevó a cabo un levantamiento de datos específicos de las hojas de Historia Clínica Perinatal CLAP de los expedientes clínicos correspondientes a las madres con resultados a término con Bajo Peso al Nacer entre los años 2016 y 2018 del Hospital Nacional General de Neumología y Medicina Familiar: “Dr. José Antonio Saldaña”. Dentro de los datos tomados hubo dos variables que se consideraron ajenos a factores biológicos maternos, socioeconómicos y sanitarios: altura uterina y edad gestacional. Estas dos variables han sido suficiente para construir el modelo de cilindro que nos ha ayudado a predecir, dentro de las limitaciones del estudio, el peso al nacer a 37 y 38 semanas, a partir de los datos de la edad gestacional de 32 ± 1 semana.

Apesar de publicações relativamente recentes (VENUTTI, 2008; KAINDL, 1999), a modalidade de tradução de quadrinhos ainda figura uma posição desvalorizada e até mesmo esquecida dentro da área de Estudos da Tradução. Com base nesse panorama, o presente artigo tem como objetivo tecer uma breve discussão acerca da tradução de HQs e a influência que a justaposição entre texto e imagem infligem no processo tradutório. Para tanto, foi escolhido para análise o romance gráfico Cumbe, de Marcelo D’Salete, e a versão para a língua inglesa do conto Sumidouro. A obra, que foi traduzida e publicada por uma editora norte-americana em 2017, é composta por quatro contos cujos enredos transmitem histórias de negros escravizados durante o Ciclo do Açúcar no Brasil. Tais contos, por sua vez, apresentam uma linguagem verbal e visual próprias, muitas vezes com palavras de origem Banto e explicação de termos e imagens em um glossário ao final do livro. Dessa maneira, foi selecionado o conto Sumidouro e, comparando e contrastando as versões original (brasileira) e traduzida (norte-americana), foram encontradas algumas adaptações próprias à tradução de quadrinhos, as quais envolveram modificações na mensagem verbal e visual.
A REPRESENTAÇÃO ESCRITA DE RUÍDOS E DE AÇÕES EM CHARGES E EM HISTÓRIAS EM QUADRINHOS
Authors: Cagliari Luiz Carlos
Published: June 2020

Os sistemas de escrita escrevem palavras fixadas pela ortografia. Contudo, mesmo tendo uma forma ortográfica, as interjeições dificilmente são aceitas como palavras iguais às demais que constam dos dicionários. As interjeições são representações onomatopaicas de sons, ações e de sentimentos. Mas, as interjeições não são suficientes para essa finalidade, fazendo com que surjam onomatopeias mais ou menos à vontade dos escritores e dos artistas. Uma vez que o uso dessas formas de escrita tem sido disseminado ao longo da história literária e, mais recentemente, em charges, HQs e através da Internet, podemos reconhecer uma tradição no uso de certas palavras desse tipo. Um estudo linguístico desse problema mostra a natureza, as funções e os usos dessas palavras onomatopaicas e de palavras que se referem a sons, ruídos, ações e sentimentos em contextos especiais onde encontramos também desenhos, como nas charges e nas HQs.
UMA ANÁLISE DA PROSÓDIA VISUAL IMAGÉTICA NA GRAPHIC NOVEL “LAÇOS”
Authors: Silva Andressa Viana da , Prado Natália Cristine
Published: June 2020

Esta pesquisa analisa a Prosódia Visual Imagética, isto é, a prosódia que pode ser percebida a partir das ilustrações que acompanham a linguagem verbal das Histórias em Quadrinhos (HQs). Assim, observamos as imagens de expressões faciais e gestos simultâneos à fala dos balões que funcionam como Marcadores Prosódicos Visuais Imagéticos (MPVI) na Graphic Novel “Laços”, de autoria dos irmãos Vitor Caffaggi e Lu Caffaggi. Com este estudo, foi possível perceber também que os Marcadores Prosódicos Lexicais (MPL) tradicionalmente presentes em outros gêneros escritos narrativos, como romances (CAGLIARI, 2002), não aparecem nesta HQ. Nossa hipótese é a de que isso ocorre, pois, diferentemente das narrativas clássicas, em uma novela gráfica, as imagens participam da narração da história, de modo que elas podem ser construídas sem a presença de um narrador, o que resulta em outras manifestações prosódicas características do hipergênero HQs, como os MPVI. Esperamos, com este estudo, contribuir para a reflexão sobre as diferentes manifestações da prosódia em HQs.

Authors: Elhussein Nawal Hussein Abbas , Warag Elzibeer Fath Elrahman Hamed
Published: June 2020

This paper is an attempt to empirically investigate the determinants of the stock market performance in Sudan. It aims at identifying the short and long run relationships between the Khartoum Stock Exchange all- share price index (KSI) as an indicator of market performance and some selected micro and macro-economic factors. The inflation rate, cost of capital, foreign exchange rate, broad money supply, and crude oil price are chosen as proxies for macroeconomic factors. The market oriented indicators used include market capitalization, market trading system, and market trading volume. The study covers the period 2003-2017. The paper employs the Multivariate Time Series Regression Analysis to estimate the short run relationship between the selected independent variables and the KSE price index. Soren Johansen’s Cointegration Test and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) have been employed to identify the long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. To estimate the causal relationship between the selected variables Toda-Yamamoto (T-Y) Granger Causality Test has been utilized. The study documents that the Khartoum Stock Exchange performance is significantly affected both by micro and macroeconomic factors. In the long run, all the independent variables with the exception of the cost of capital, have a significant positive relationship with KSI. However, in the short run the determinants of the stock market performance are market capitalization, market trading volume, money Supply, and cost of capital.

Authors: Bui Ngoc Thi , Le Oanh Thi Tu , Dao Huy Manh
Published: June 2020

While many countries around the world have adopted IFRS at different levels, Vietnam is in the process of IFRS adoption by 2022. The study was conducted through the survey of 119 directors and accountants to estimate the benefits and difficulties of applying IFRS in Vietnam. The forecast content include (i) Business benefits; (ii) Benefits for investors; (iii) Benefits to policy makers; (iv) Benefits for state management agencies; (v) Challenges of applying IFRS. By regression analysis, the forecast results showed that all factors have a significantly affect on the IFRS adoption in Vietnam and they explain 54.5% of the reasons for the application. The group of benefits has a positive impact on IFRS application in Vietnam, of which, the strongest impact is the business benefits, while the challenge factor has a negative impact on IFRS adoption in Viet Nam. This result suggests policy implications for the application of IFRS in Vietnam.
Chaos, Complexity, and Contingency Theories: A Comparative Analysis and Application to the 21st Century Organization
Authors: Lartey Franklin M.
Published: June 2020

Organizations in the 21st century deal with constant changes such as globalization, technological evolutions, regulatory changes, competition, and other unexpected events, among others. These challenges can be viewed and addressed through the lenses of contemporary theories. This paper selected three contemporary theories namely chaos, complexity, and contingency theories, and presented their foundations and characteristics by comparing and contrasting their key concepts. These concepts include nonlinearity, feedback, bifurcation, strange attractors, fractals, and self-organization for chaos theory; nonlinearity, dynamism, feedback, self-organization, emergence, and adaptability for complexity theory; and adaptation, equifinality, effectiveness, and congruency for contingency theory. Examples of studies and organizational applications of these theories were provided, and implications for scholars and organizational leaders were discussed. By explaining notions such as how the capacity of a system could be greater than the sum of the capacities of its subunits, this paper can act as a starting point for anyone seeking to understand the three theories or use them for research or organizational purpose.

Published: June 2020

Dairy farming assumes most important role in providing income generating opportunities particularly for rural women in Bangladesh. To access the socio-economic status of dairy farmers, this study was carried out in selected areas of Mymensingh district. Total sample size was 50 and sample data were obtained from V1 (modern dairy farming), V1 (traditional dairy farming) and V2 (traditional dairy farming) through direct interviews using questionnaires. Simple statistical methods such as frequency, percentage and mean were used to analyze the sample data. V1 (M) women use modern technology of dairy farming and V2 (T) is traditional village. Financial conditions of selected farmers were investigated in study areas. It was found that households in V1 (M) had more household income and well status than others and that V1 (M) woman were more educated and older with longer experience in dairy farming. Relatively wealthy households and educated/experienced women tend to adopt modern dairy farming.

Feasibility Study on the “Six in One” Teaching Mode in Line Dance
Authors: Li Feifei
Published: June 2020

Line dance is one of the most important parts of physical education, which has been widely and deeply promoted in physical education. To sum up, the traditional teaching mode of line dance basically focuses on the three aspects of "teaching, learning and doing", that is, for the teaching content, the teacher teaches and the students follow the teacher to learn and do. Most of the students just master the set of movements taught by the teacher, can not create their own dance moves or even participate in the competition. Therefore, this paper analyzes the shortcomings of traditional line dance teaching, reforms the teaching content and teaching mode, and probes into the teaching mode integrating "teaching, learning, doing, practicing, researching and competing", so as to provide some reference for the teaching reform of line dance course in colleges and universities in China.
Exceptional Arabic Diminutive Forms of Nouns with [aa]: An Optimality-Theoretic Analysis
Authors: Abalkheel Albatool Mohammed
Published: June 2020

Most diminutive forms in Arabic adhere in their derivation to certain simple phonological and morphological processes without any complications. However, there are exceptions to be found, including diminutive forms of nouns with [aa] in which the segment [w] surfaces. Using Optimality Theory (OT) as a framework and using syllable weight as a base of analysis, this study aims to provide an accurate explanation of such phenomena. This work will show that the root of words with [w] is not simply biconsonantal with an emphatic segment (i.e., [w]) inserted to fill the empty onset. Instead, the root is triconsonantal in which [w] is an essential segment. It also reveals that syllable-weight constraint is inviolable in Arabic dialects.
Las fisuras de la nación: tensiones y lecturas político-religiosas sobre la conquista de América en el siglo XVIII
Authors: Soriano Muñoz Nuria
Published: June 2020

La conquista de América generó una notable cantidad de discursos épicos, de carácter político y literario, que contribuyeron al reforzamiento de los tópicos imperiales, religiosos y patrióticos. Preocupada por la mala imagen del país en el extranjero, las élites políticas e intelectuales al servicio de Carlos III y Carlos IV promocionaron la defensa de los conquistadores, pese a la difusión de una corriente crítica con el heroísmo militar, tangible en la opinión pública europea. En el marco del reformismo borbónico, se reconstruyen los grupos e individuos que, desde lugares y posturas muy diferentes, posibilitaron el éxito de este discurso preponderante, que subrayaba la estrecha colaboración entre la Corona y el clero en el proceso. Además de enfatizar la escasa transparencia con la que fue rememorada la conquista, especialmente en manos de los clérigos, párrocos y misioneros, el artículo aborda cómo la consolidación de este discurso patriótico colisionó con otras lecturas alternativas que lo pusieron en duda. Estas últimas, impulsadas por las nociones de crítica, civilización y sensibilidad ilustrada –desde una actitud doliente, colmada de lamentos y frustraciones–, permiten cuestionar la estabilidad de los discursos sobre América, tanto dentro como fuera del imperio.

Role and importance of national strategies in Poland
Authors: Wojciechowski Sławomir
Published: June 2020

The work on the new edition of the national security strategy requires a reflection on its role and importance in Poland. The analysis of the strategic achievements to date indicates the existence of political, organizational, theoretical, and cultural problems related to the development of the strategy as documents regarding national security, national development, and defense. Special attention should be paid to the problem of formulating a strategy as well as thinking and acting strategically in the military dimension. The problem of the shortage of formal-legal and structural framework of the strategy creation process in Poland indicates that one should strive to formulate a national (state) strategy together with its consolidation in the legal system.
