On the Concepts of Traditional Legal Consciousness of China
Authors: Galiev R.S. , Ivanov A.V. , Nasirov R.V.
Published: November 2022

The modern world is on the threshold of tremendous changes in all spheres of life. The era of Western domination and the spread of the ideas of the European Enlightenment, which lasted for several centuries, is coming to an end. Built on rational principles, the project of modernity supposed secularization of social life on the basis of the theory of natural human rights and the principles of the rule of law. But the slogan of the rule of law resulted in the etatization of social life and the destruction of traditional forms of social organization and communication. Under these conditions, Western society, experiencing a state of crisis, turns to the East and tries to find there other options for building a normative-value system of society. The aim of the article is to define the place of Fa (law, formal law) in the value-normative system of traditional Chinese worldview. The integral system of the main categories of ancient Chinese philosophy on the example of Taoism, Confucianism and Legalism doctrines is disclosed. The protective function of Fa in public life is substantiated. The author concludes that the statement in the normative system of Chinese society the value of values and patterns of behavior, oriented to the lofty principles of humanity and virtue, explains the preservation of Chinese civilization and its ability to develop.
The Palas Manufacturing of the Southeastern Bashkirs in the Late 20th — Early 21st Century: to the Problem of Preserving Traditions
Authors: Khasanova Z.F.
Published: November 2022

The article deals with one of the types of decorative-applied art — the production of lint-free carpets (palases) by the Bashkirs in the south-eastern part of the Republic of Bashkortostan (Abzelilovsky, Burzyansky, Beloretsky, Baymaksky districts). The source base of the study was the author's field materials collected in 2010-2021 in the study area. It was revealed that palases were woven on a frameless loom of sheep and goat wool. The palases are characterized by a longitudinal-striped ornament without a border — buoy balaq with a serrated pattern. Woollen palases were an indispensable element of the interior of the Bashkir dwelling: they covered bunks and hosted guests on them. The woven items were a part of the bride's dowry. In the 70-80s of the 20th century in some settlements of southeastern Bashkiria they started to weave lint-free carpets aqy balaq or kelam. On their dark background there were bright plant motifs, rhombuses and polygons.

It was determined that in the late 20th — early 21st centuries, palace production existed in the territory under study. For the most part, the palases produced are used as interior decoration. Carpets neatly laid on a chest occupy a prominent place in rural and sometimes urban dwellings. The material and size of the item changed, but the technique remained the same.
FORMAÇÃO INTERDISCIPLINAR POR MEIO DA PESQUISA NO ENSINO NA RESIDÊNCIA PEDAGÓGICA
Authors: Dos Santos Souza Maycon , Soares Lemos Shaw Gisele
Published: November 2022

A formação de professores de Ciências leva em consideração uma série de fatores que vãodesde aspectos pessoais e culturais até aspectos sociais e econômicos. Além disso, quando se pensa numa formação interdisciplinar, o processo torna-se ainda mais complexo, tendo em vista que existem poucas investigações sobre essa temática. No entanto, estudos mostram que trabalhar a pesquisa no ensino, com o uso de Sequências Didáticas Interdisciplinares (SDI), pode contribuir para a formação docente voltada para a interdisciplinaridade. Com base nessa perspectiva, objetivou-se investigar, segundo as percepções de residentes pedagógicos em Ciências da Natureza, as contribuições de uma experiência formativa envolvendo pesquisa no ensino e práticas interdisciplinares para a formação interdisciplinar. Neste trabalho qualitativo foi utilizado o paradigma da fenomenologia para investigar as percepções e as experiências dos participantes, obtidas por meio de questionários e de relatos de experiências e depois analisadas por meio da análise de conteúdos de Bardin. Os resultados mostraram que os residentes compreendem a interdisciplinaridade, conforme autores como Fazenda (2011), Melo (2015), Shaw (2019), dentre outros que fundamentam este estudo, bem como a relacionam com a pesquisa no ensino e com a utilização de SDI. Ainda, todos concordam que tais ferramentas contribuem para a reflexão e para a melhoria de sua própria prática pedagógica.

O LUGAR DA LEITURA E ESCRITA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: Dos Santos Espindola Carolina , De Oliveira Alves Silveira Juliane
Published: November 2022

Este artigo apresenta um estado do conhecimento (MOROSINI e FERNANDES, 2012) sobre a leitura e a escrita na Educação Infantil, temática que vem sendo cada vez mais discutida entre os pesquisadores e teóricos do campo da educação. O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir para a compreensão do lugar que ocupam a leitura e a escrita na Educação Infantil e, consequentemente, do lugar que ocupam as produções sobre a temática em eventos e revistas científicas. Apresenta-se um levantamento dos trabalhos e artigos publicados nos anais do Congresso de Estudos da Infância (CEI), do Congresso Brasileiro de Alfabetização (CONBALF) e na Revista Zero-a-Seis (UFSC), entre os anos de 2013 e 2022.  Percebe-se, a partir dos dados coletados, que apesar das discussões sobre a leitura e a escrita estarem ganhando cada vez mais força entre os pesquisadores que abordam diferentes concepções de trabalho envolvendo a leitura e a escrita na Educação Infantil, os espaços que abrigam discussões especificamente sobre esta etapa da educação, como é o caso do CEI e da Revista Zero-a-Seis, carecem de pesquisas, trabalhos, artigos e relatos de experiência sobre a temática, principalmente quando comparados aos apresentados no CONBAlf, um evento específico sobre alfabetização, que parece receber e acolher de maneira mais significativa os trabalhos envolvendo a leitura e a escrita voltados para a Educação Infantil.
Fleat pro te mater ecclesia: Images of the Church in Ambrose’s Treatise De Paenitentia
Authors: Štauberová Karolína
Published: November 2022

The study is focused on several aspects present in Ambrose’s treatise De paenitentia, namely his ecclesiology with respect to the theology and practice of penance. The primary purpose of De paenitentia was the confrontation with the heresy of Ambrose’s time when so-called Novatians denied the possibility of penance and absolution for the Christians who committed a serious crime after baptism. Ambrose’s reaction is not only the targeted polemic with this rigorism, but in his treatise, he further develops the structured theology of penance. After a brief historical summary of the roots of Novatian heresy as a reaction to the problem with the lapsi who denied the faith during Decius’ persecution, this paper focuses on Ambrose’s arguments in favour of Church as a welcoming place even for sinners. Ambrose uses several biblical images, such as the Good Samaritan, Peter the Apostle, Lazarus, and female figures from the Gospels, to show the value and importance of penance and the role of the Church, who got from Christ the power to ‘bind and loose’. Despite the different practice of penance in the early church, Ambrose’s exegesis and image of the Church as the inn where everybody can be welcomed and cured, no matter in which condition he or she is coming, can serve as an inspiration also for today’s discussion about the character of the Church.
Ageist Attitudes, Stereotypes and Behavior of Youth Towards the Elderly Within Georgia: How Significant are Intergenerational Contact and Perceived Distance?
Authors: Kitiashvili Anastasia
Published: November 2022

Georgia has an aging society, with a high percentage of senior citizens in the general population. However, only small number of research studies in the Georgian context have been conducted to ascertain young people's attitudes towards older adults. The study of age-related phenomena is important both from a scientific point of view and for developing awareness-raising interventions and social policy. The current study investigates young people's explicit and implicit ageist attitudes, stereotypes and behaviors towards the elderly. We consider whether perceived distance from older people and intergenerational contact exert an influence on these variables. The research instruments were first translated from English into Georgian and adapted to the local context using 150 young people as initial respondents. The survey research was then carried out with 450 respondents, employing convenience sampling in Tbilisi. Research has shown that young people express more positive than negative explicit attitudes toward the elderly while implicit measures also reveal ingrained negative attitudes. Most stereotypes about older people feature lower expectations regarding physical and mental health, but especially concerning cognitive function. Young people stereotypically perceive older people as warm and kind, but with limited cognitive capacity. These stereotypes are more relevant to the “pity’ category identified in the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) representing a ‘pseudo-positive’ attitude toward older people and they tend to result in infantilizing behavior, i.e., not letting aged people take responsibility for their own lives. With increased perceived distance from older people, the frequency of intergenerational contact decreases. Similarly, younger people who harbor more robust explicit ageist attitudes toward older people frequently seek to increase perceived distance and minimize their contact with the elderly. More ageist attitudes are related to more ageist behaviours. Regression analysis shows that explicit attitudes have the strongest influence on ageist behavior followed by perceived distance, intergenerational contact and stereotypes. The current study can provide a basis for further research on this concept.
Does Social Anxiety Affect Student Learning?
Authors: Cook Emma , Tochkov Karin
Published: November 2022

In 1994, social anxiety was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as another term for social phobia (Bögels et al., 2010). More recent editions of the DSM define social anxiety disorder as a persistent fear of situations in which the patient may be exposed to unfamiliar people or potential review by others and causes those who suffer from it to either avoid social situations or endure them with high levels of anxiety. Those who suffer from social anxiety engage in consistent monitoring of their own behavior to avoid displaying any signs of their anxiety (Richards, 2022). While this fear is typically associated with only social or performance situations, social anxiety may also influence student learning as well. The conductors of this study hypothesize that students with social anxiety disorder may process less of the information that is presented to them in a classroom setting due to consistently monitoring their own behavior. These same students may also avoid asking clarifying questions within the classroom or seeking help outside of the classroom setting for fear of being viewed negatively by either their professor or their peers. The conductors of this study propose an online survey which will record participants’ responses to a Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, as well as their GPA scores, and responses to questions regarding their coping mechanisms and how often they ask questions in the classroom and seek outside help with their classes. A literature review is conducted, and an explanation of the methods and materials used is provided, as well as their purpose. The limitations of the study are reported, along with measures the conductors have taken to minimize the effects of these limitations.

Prawna ochrona tytułu zawodowego
Authors: Dobkowski Jarosław
Published: November 2022

The study concerns the legal protection of professional titles, which are related to professional activities. It presents the genesis of such professional titles and their protection in Poland, which initially related to the protection of selected so-called ‘free legal professions’ (such as tax advisor, advocate, legal advisor, patent agent). The evolution of the subjective scope of how these professions occurred is also presented, including the introduction of this type of solution in relation to certain professions termed ‘free economic professions’ (chartered accountant, stockbroker and investment advisor), certain ‘free medical professions’ (nurse/nurse, midwife/midwife, laboratory diagnostician, physiotherapist, pharmacist), and selected socalled ‘free professions’, within which no professional self-governments functions (real estate appraiser). In this regard, it is noted that the legal protection of professional titles went beyond the scope of professional activity and also covered certain spheres of economic activity, an example of which are detective services provided by persons holding the professional title of detective. Against the background of the analysis of European standards, it is established here that the introduction of legal protection of professional titles should now be regarded as one of the means of regulating access to a profession. It is shown that the essence of the legal protection of the professional title comes down to the right of authorised persons to use the title on an exclusive basis, in order that other persons may not use the reserved title in this way, nor may their behaviour mislead the users of their services as to the fact that they hold a specific professional title, even if they have the appropriate knowledge and skills. There are various forms of legal protection – criminal, administrative and civil liability measures apply, but there are no comprehensive guarantees. A legally protected professional title can also be regarded as one of the determinants of the concept of a profession.

The professional self-government, as a component of the decentralised public authority, is an institution which derives its legitimacy from the supreme legal act, the Constitution of Poland. Its basic framework is set out in Article 17(1) of the Constitution, according to which: “By means of a statute, self-governments may be created within a profession in which the public repose confidence, and such self-governments shall concern themselves with the proper practice of such professions in accordance with, and for the purpose of protecting, the public interest”. The ratio legis of this regulation is the possibility of statutory entrustment of certain professional corporations with the performance of public tasks in authoritative forms appropriate for public administration. This study presents of the functions and tasks that the legislator has provided for the professional self-government of judicial officers. Currently, the provision regulating the tasks performed by the judicial officers’ self-government is Article 195 of the Act of 22 March 2018 on judicial officers, according to which the tasks of the judicial officers’ self-government include in particular: 1) supporting the administrative supervisory bodies in supervising the conscientious performance of service by judicial officers and the proper performance of duties by assessors and trainees, 2) participating in ensuring the conditions for the performance of the statutory tasks of judicial officers, 3) representing judicial officers and assessors, 4) the professional development of judicial officers and assessors, and participation in the training of trainees, 5) establishing and promoting the principles of professional ethics and ensuring their observance, 6) conducting research into the functioning of judicial enforcement. The authors analyse the normative material regulating the issue in question. Looking through the prism of theoretical concepts of professional self-government, they also assess the legitimacy of the solutions adopted by the legislator. Consequently, they make de lege lata remarks and de lege ferenda postulates.
Postępowanie z odpadami niebezpiecznymi w świetle prawa – wybrane zagadnienia
Authors: Górski Marek
Published: November 2022

Polish provisions on waste, following the example of EU regulations, lay down specific requirements relating to the handling of “hazardous waste”. These requirements, contained directly in the Act on waste of December 2012, are quite general in nature and are supplemented by requirements constructed in specific provisions. The analyses conducted in this study refer only to some general provisions of the Act on waste and concern selected problems that arise in the practice of applying these provisions. The main ones are the application of Art. 5 of the Act (prohibition of reclassification by mixing hazardous waste) to hazardous waste treatment processes and the application of Art. 21 sec. 1 of the Act on waste (no hazardous waste mixing) for hazardous waste treatment processes. Consequently, the issues analysed are encapsulated in the following questions 1) Can hazardous waste be subjected to recovery processes, especially recycling?; 2) In such processes, may operations be used that consist in mixing waste?; 3) Do the provisions of Art. 5 of the Act on waste relate to such process; 4) If such process do relate to Art. 5 of this Act, what is the relationship between Art. 5 and art. 21 sec. 1 of the Act? The main conclusion is that neither the provision of Art. 5 of the Act on waste nor the provision of Art. 21 sec. 1 of the Act apply to the mixing of hazardous waste carried out in the processes of their processing as an integral part of these processes.
Corruption in the Hittite Administration
Authors: Beckman Gary
Published: November 2022

Given the paucity of judicial records in the archives of Ḫatti, examination of administrative malfeasance and abuse of office by members of the Hittite bureaucracy entails consultation of other types of texts—particularly of instructions for office holders and of inventories of the furnishings of cultic institutions. I will present a typology of self-dealing among Hittite officials and consider the Hittite vocabulary for fraud or treachery as well as the problematics of recognizing corruption in an ancient society.
“Sustaining Real Estate Sector through Technological Interventions: Purchase Intention of Residential Apartment Buyers”
Authors: S Shastry Venkatesh , M N Badrinath , N Dinesh
Published: November 2022

Technology is being widely adopted in Construction and Real Estate sector these days. Pandemic has made technology exigent in every walk of life and Real Estate sector is no exception to this paradigm. However, it must also be noted that technology is becoming a ubiquitous savior and an important tool for sustainability of enterprises. Real Estate has been a barometer for measuring progress of economy and its central theme of debate. If economy has to improve, much depends on revival of Real Estate Sector in general and retail purchase such as residential apartments in specific. Retails purchases have literally come to a halt due to various reasons such as frequent lock downs, non-movements, lack of confidence and absence of trust in future commitments. In this context, sustainability of this sector has been made possible by adoption of cutting edge technologies. In this paper the technologies are reviewed and how each brand is able to use technologies to better their marketing and sales efforts. The paper will also be able to convincingly illustrate technologies that could be used by companies that are smaller and medium scale in size, so that sustainability does not restrict itself to Tier I cities, but also revisits Tier II cities which are emerging markets.
Progress in EU Contract Law
Authors: Hesselink Martijn W.
Published: November 2022

This article aims to contribute to the elucidation of the philosophical foundations of EU contract law through a critical discussion of different understandings of progress and their respective implications. Claims about progress and regress invariably refer to a normative or evaluative standard. Such standards, it is usually understood, allow us – backward-looking – to take stock and to determine how much progress (in our case) EU contract law has made, and provide us – forward-looking – with a sense of where (in our case) EU contract law should be going. Therefore, the core normative question in this contribution is: what if anything should count as progress in EU contract law? The article, first, examines understandings of progress that are immanent to EU contract law or to EU constitutional law, in particular the specific aims of directives and the various more general constitutionalised objectives. It, then, moves on to consider external standards for progress that have been suggested in the literature. These standards typically rely either on a teleological conception of the common or individual private law good, such as efficiency and self-authorship, or on a deontological conception of private law right, notably interpersonal and social justice. Subsequently, the article confronts recent post- and decolonial critiques of the very idea of progress and their implications for EU contract law and its study. Finally, it argues for a self-critical reflexive stance towards progress in EU contract law, grounded in a strong commitment to moral and epistemic equality, which requires overcoming unilateral universalisms.

Transadaptation and Bollywoodisation in Tanika Gupta’s Hobson’s Choice and Wah! Wah! Girls
Authors: Daboo Jerri
Published: November 2022

Tanika Gupta’s varied work as a playwright encompasses transadaptation in a range of forms. This article will focus on two of her plays, Hobson’s Choice (2003/2019) and Wah! Wah! Girls (2012), exploring the ways in which she depicts representations of South Asian communities in Britain in different ways. Hobson’s Choice reworks the original 1916 play to being set among the Bengali community working in the rag trade in Salford. The play focuses on the father of the family, Hari Hobson, who runs a clothing factory and lives with his three daughters. The 2019 reworking of the play changes the setting to a Ugandan Asian family in Manchester in 1987. Wah! Wah! Girls is set in East London, having been commissioned as part of the Cultural Olympiad. Focusing on a mujra-style dancing club and the different communities surrounding it, the play includes transadaptations of well-known dance routines from Bollywood films integrated into the action, playing on nostalgia and familiarity for South Asian communities, as well as offering a picture of contemporary multicultural London. Both plays, in different ways, use transadaptation of setting and form to examine what it means to be British and Asian in different contexts, and this article will analyse whether this is successful in creating a meaningful interrogation of the experience of British South Asians on stage.
Benjamin Constant: Soulful Theorist of Commercial Society
Authors: Clark Henry C.
Published: November 2022

Benjamin Constant (1767–1830) is the most important French liberal that most casual liberals have never heard of. Everyone knows something about Montesquieu because checks and balances and the separation of powers are household terms. Tocqueville’s Democracy in America and The Old Regime and the Revolution are both established classics. But Constant is largely terra incognita even for those with a university degree—to their loss.
Penile diameter during puberty in boys: a retrospective analysis of longitudinally obtained data
Authors: Rohn Reuben D. , Perkins Amy M. , Vazifedan Turaj
Published: November 2022

Objectives

Tanner staging is the standard for rating sexual maturation (SMR) in boys (pubic hair (PH) and genital (G) development). G staging is tripartite in nature and is prone to ambiguity because it is based upon somewhat vague visual cues that may lead to erroneous assessments and medical errors. Measurement of penile growth (penile girth or diameter) may provide an additional tool (in addition to the orchidometer) to make G staging more valid. Although studies on penile growth (either circumference of width) have been reported, none were longitudinal. Therefore, our objective was to compare penile development in boys – measured as penile diameter (PD) – to PH stage and testicular volume (TV) and secondarily to G stage; moreover, to do so on a longitudinal basis.

Methods

Charts of 61 boys, ages 6–21 years of age, who were seen longitudinally, were reviewed. Each boy had his PD and TV measured along with his PH and G stage assessed on a quarterly to semi-annual basis.

Results

PD increased significantly among PH stages II, III, and IV only. PD increased significantly among G stages I, II, III and IV only. PD correlated well with TV. There were significant correlations between PD and TV in all PH stages. However, for G stage correlations were not significant for stages II, III, and IV. PH stage was a better predictor of PD than G stage.

Conclusions

Measuring PD may be another tool to help in objectifying male SMR during puberty and overcome the vagueness encountered with the visual SMR G stage scales.
Recent advances in photothermal materials for solar-driven crude oil adsorption
Authors: Li Jinyang , Wang Zhenyu , Deng Hanpeng , Li Jiayang , Wang Bin , Zhou Zuowan
Published: November 2022

In recent years, the adsorption method is usually adopted in the actual treatment of crude oil spills. However, the high viscosity of crude oils prevents them from diffusing into the internal pores of the adsorbent, resulting in ineffective oil capture. Photothermal materials can reduce the viscosity of crude oil by in situ heating through the photothermal conversion effect, making it easier for crude oil to occupy the internal pores of the adsorbent. At present, the review of the application of photothermal materials in the field of crude oil adsorption is still blank. This review focuses on the application of novel photothermal conversion materials in the field of crude oil adsorption and their performance comparison. Among the photothermal conversion materials used in the field of crude oil adsorption, some are commercial sponges with high porosity and photothermal coating, while others are self-assembled three-dimensional porous structures of materials with inherent photothermal properties. This review mainly introduces the types and research progress of materials with good photothermal effect at home and abroad in recent years and summarizes some new research ideas and materials that can be applied to photothermal conversion.
Insubordinateif-clauses in FDG: Degrees of independence
Authors: Kaltenböck Gunther , Keizer Evelien
Published: November 2022

The so-called insubordinate clauses have received an increasing amount of attention in recent years in a wide variety of typologically different languages and from different analytical perspectives. This article concerns itself with one particular type of insubordination, namely insubordinateif-clauses (e.g. If you’ll just come next door,if you hadn’t noticed,if I may ask). So far, the extensive literature on these clauses has concentrated mainly on their discourse-pragmatic functions, their degree of autonomy, and their degree of conventionalization. Relatively little work has been done on the formal (syntactic and prosodic) features of these clauses, nor on the relationship between these formal features and the functions they perform. The aim of this article is to investigate insubordinateif-clauses from the perspective of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) in order to establish a taxonomy reflecting (and linking) their functional and formal properties. It is argued that FDG is ideally suited for this task as (i) it takes a function-to-form approach; (ii) it does not take the clause or sentence as its basic unit of analysis, but rather the (independent or subsidiary) Discourse Act; and (iii) it recognizes a range of interpersonal and representational modifiers. The basis for the classification proposed is corpus data from a range of corpora of spoken and written English and Dutch.
Modification as a linguistic ‘relationship’: Ajust soproblem in Functional Discourse Grammar
Authors: Wolde Elnora ten , Schwaiger Thomas
Published: November 2022

This study traces the relationship between two erstwhile separate linguistic elements,justandso, within the framework of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG). In keeping with FDG’s form-oriented function-to-form approach, the study proceeds semasiologically by, first, examining the uses of relatively independent forms (i.e.the focus particlejustmodifyingsoas a degree word and a manner proform), then turning to more tightly-knit structures (i.e. just soas a subordinator of purpose and condition), and finally, looking at the fixed expressionjust soused as a part of a pragmatic marker. Using data from theCorpus of Contemporary American Englishand theCorpus of Historical American English, we argue that the different meanings ofjust soraise a number of issues related to the analysis of modification in FDG, namely the status and function of the modifierjustin the constructions under discussion and the concomitant representation ofso. Furthermore, the analysis shows that FDG can model very precisely the interplay of semantic and pragmatic information in the stages whenjust sois still compositional, withjustproviding interpersonal (i.e.pragmatic) andsorepresentational (i.e.semantic) information, as well as its development into the non-compositional and purely pragmatic discourse markerjust so you know.
The individual, kata and the arts: semiotic considerations on cultural identity
Authors: Motiekaitis Ramunas
Published: November 2022

This article is a semiotics-based attempt to explain artistic creativity of traditional East Asia and the Romantic West. Invoking the Greimas-Tarasti model, in which the modalities of “will,” “must,” “can,” and “know” are considered as a semiotic system, the author tries to examine how these modalities are manifested in discourses that define artistic subjectivities and actions. The concepts of the sublime and yūgen, authenticity and kokoro, formal communicational standards and kata, conventional beauty and hana are discussed side by side from a comparative perspective. However, the article tries to reveal cultural creative patterns not so much in terms of qualitative difference as in terms of a particular configuration of a universal system. In the subject–object conjunction-oriented metaphysics of Buddhism and Confucianism, the immanent subjectivity is treated as constituted through the body and social mediation. For this reason, as we will see from the analysis of Nō theater performance principles, individual kokoro can hardly be distinguished from impersonal kata. In the Romantic paradigm, longing for an initial (or final) subject–object conjunction is expressed in the ideal of organic synthesis, and artistic creation is considered as the best manifestation of such synthesis. However, this conjunction functions in most cases as an immanent aesthetic vision, and symbols can hardly become the “complete representation of true spiritual life.”
Für die Ausschöpfung der sportsoziologischen Potenziale der Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie
Authors: Staack Michael
Published: November 2022

Die Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie findet in insbesondere der deutschen Sportsoziologie fast keine Verwendung. Der Artikel plädiert für die Ausschöpfung ihrer sportsoziologischen Potenziale. Er argumentiert, dass das Potenzial der ANT insbesondere darin besteht, dass sie eine spezifische Sensibilität für die Instabilität bzw. für die Unwahrscheinlichkeit sozialer Ordnungsbildung aufweist: Indem sie erstens die Materialität des Sozialen und zweitens die beständige Dynamik des (materiellen) Sozialen berücksichtigen kann, kann die ANT nicht nur materiell basierte Ordnungsbildung, sondern in besonderer Weise auch die Unwahrscheinlichkeit (auch) materiell basierter Ordnungsbildung in den Blick bekommen – und damit intersituative, materialitätsbasierte Herstellungen des Sozialen besonders gut nachverfolgen.
Preliminary exploration of functional MRI in sinonasal paragangliomas
Authors: Guo Linying , Wang Jie , Xiao Zebin , Zhong Yufeng , Duan Fei , Wang Peng , Zhai Changwen , Tang Zuohua
Published: November 2022

Objectives:

This study was aimed at evaluating functional MRI combined with conventional MRI as well as CT imaging in the diagnosis of sinonasal paragangliomas (SNPGLs).

Methods:

Clinical data, CT imaging, conventional MRI, and functional MRI findings of four patients with pathologically confirmed SNPGLs were reviewed retrospectively. Multi-parametric functional MRI features were analyzed, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE), and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS). An ADC map was generated through DWI, and the values of the lesions were measured. A time-signal intensity curve pattern was obtained through DCE. Peaks for biological compounds were derived from 1H-MRS.

Results:

Three patients underwent DWI examination. DCE was also available in two patients, and 1H-MRS was performed in one patient. The ADC value obtained from DWI was higher than 1.0×10−3 mm2/s in all patients, and DCE presented a type III or type II pattern. A characteristic succinate peak and a high ratio of choline to creatine were also detected through 1H-MRS.

Conclusions:

Imaging features on multi-parametric functional MRI reflected the histopathological microenvironment within SNPGLs, and might aid in the diagnosis of SNPGLs in combination with conventional imaging.
Short, frequent high-intensity physical activity breaks reduce appetite compared to a continuous moderate-intensity exercise bout
Authors: Maylor Benjamin D , Zakrzewski-Fruer Julia K , Orton Charlie J , Bailey Daniel P
Published: November 2022

A single exercise session can affect appetite-regulating hormones and suppress appetite. The effects of short, regular physical activity breaks across the day on appetite are unclear. This study investigated the effects of breaking up sitting with high-intensity physical activity vs a single bout of moderate-intensity exercise and prolonged sitting on appetite control. In this randomised crossover trial, 14 sedentary, inactive adults (7 women) completed 3, 8-h experimental conditions: (i) prolonged sitting (SIT); (ii) 30 min of moderate-intensity exercise followed by prolonged sitting (EX-SIT), and (iii) sitting with 2 min 32 s of high-intensity physical activity every hour (SIT-ACT). Physical activity energy expenditure was matched between EX-SIT and SIT-ACT. Subjective appetite was measured every 30 min with acylated ghrelin and total peptide-YY (PYY) measured hourly in response to two standardised test meals. An ad libitum buffet meal was provided at the end of each condition. Based on linear mixed model analysis, total area under the curve for satisfaction was 16% higher (P = 0.021) and overall appetite was 11% lower during SIT-ACT vs EX-SIT (P = 0.018), with no differences between SIT-ACT and SIT. Time series analysis indicated that SIT-ACT reduced subjective appetite during the majority of the post-lunch period compared with SIT and EX-SIT, with some of these effects reversed earlier in the afternoon (P < 0.05). Total PYY and acylated ghrelin did not differ between conditions. Relative energy intake was 760 kJ lower during SIT-ACT vs SIT (P = 0.024). High-intensity physical activity breaks may be effective in acutely suppressing appetite; yet, appetite-regulating hormones may not explain such responses.

Customer Cognitive Appraisals of Differential and Dynamic Pricing
Authors: Bambauer-Sachse Silke , Young Ashley
Published: November 2022

This study examines the mechanisms of cognitive appraisal theory in the context of dynamic pricing. The aim is to investigate the differences in cognitive appraisals by comparing dynamic pricing and simpler forms of price differentiation, as well as differences in appraisals between goods and services. The reactions examined in one qualitative and one quantitative study are the customers’ feelings of being exploited, price complexity perceptions, and intentions to spread online word-of-mouth (eWOM). The qualitative results indicate that customers are less aware of dynamic pricing for goods than services and that there is a strong feeling of being exploited, which can lead to negative word-of-mouth. The quantitative results support these findings as customers react more negatively to dynamic pricing than to simpler forms of differential pricing. For goods, intentions to spread eWOM are mainly driven by feelings of being exploited, while for services, the main effect runs through price complexity perceptions.
The influence of modification on the fracture of austenitic stainless steels under dynamic loads
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, Aftandiliants Y.G.
Published: November 2022

The paper presents the results of studying the cold resistance of cast stainless steels of austenitic grade and developed mathematical models showing the effect of cerium, boron, vanadium and copper on cold resistance, which is associated with austenite grain size, carbide phase and ferrite content in austenite after quenching, particle volumes, size and distance between particles of oxides, sulfides, titanium carbonitrides and the total content of non-metallic inclusions in cast stainless steel. It was established that with complex microalloying and modification of Ce, B, V and Cu, the impact toughness of stainless steels increases by 2.7-3.1 times, as a result of the increase of nucleation and crack propagation work. It showed that the crack nucleation and their development is associated with non-metallic inclusions, while in the original steels around non-metallic inclusions significant zones of brittle failure are observed, and in the fracture of complex microalloyed and modified steels there are practically no areas of brittle failure around non-metallic inclusions. It was established that the impact toughness and crack initiation and propagation of the investigated stainless steels are determined by the patterns of changes in such structural factors as the size of the austenite grain, the content of the carbide phase and ferrite in the austenite after quenching, the volume fraction, the size and distance between oxide particles, titanium sulfides and carbonitrides, as well as the total content of non-metallic inclusions. Mathematical models of the influence of structural factors have been developed, which show the predominant influence of non-metallic inclusions on the process of destruction of stainless steels under dynamic loads, in comparison with other structure characteristics, in conditions of negative temperatures is shown. It is established that the mechanism of influence of Ce, B, V and Cu on this process is connected, mainly, with dispersion of oxides and their more homogeneous distribution. Keywords: steel, toughness, fracture work, crack formation, crack propagation, modification.

A obesidade tem causas multifatoriais e a Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental apresenta resultados positivos sobre os aspetos cognitivos, emocionais e comportamentais relativos à perda de peso. Este estudo apresenta uma avaliação preliminar do Programa Cognitivo Comportamental de Educação Alimentar em Grupo (PROMETA). Foi realizado um estudo quantitativo, pré-experimental com avaliação pré e pós-teste. Sessenta e sete participantes adultos com sobrepeso ou obesidade realizaram as 12 sessões da intervenção em grupos. Foram utilizados os inventários Beck de depressão, de ansiedade, e de desesperança, a escala de compulsão alimentar periódica, e a escala de figuras de silhuetas. Os resultados indicaram que o PROMETA contribuiu para redução de sintomas de depressão, ansiedade, desesperança, e compulsão alimentar. Portanto, o programa apresenta resultados satisfatórios para esta amostra.

A probabilidade de que mulheres em situação de rua sofram violações de direitos, é grande. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa buscou compreender como as mulheres em situação de rua percebem a violência nesse espaço e quais estratégias de enfrentamento adotam. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo no qual foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas nas ruas, com 17 mulheres em situação de rua, maiores de 18 anos, na região da Grande Florianópolis. Os dados foram analisados por meio de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram histórias de vida permeadas por situações violentas, que repercutem negativamente em suas vidas, sendo por elas utilizadas diferentes estratégias de enfrentamentos. Ademais, houve reflexões das entrevistadas sobre as diferenças das vivências entre homens e mulheres em situação de rua. Contudo, algumas mulheres buscaram desconstruir os estereótipos de fragilidade da mulher.
La nueva gerencia pública y su aplicabilidad en la administración pública costarricense
Authors: Bolaños Garita Rolando
Published: November 2022

La Administración Pública como base técnico-política en la cual cimientan su accionar los gobiernos democráticos mantiene implícitas una serie de características que desde sus inicios han sido materia de análisis para todos aquellos interesados en la mejora del Aparato Estatal. La Nueva Gerencia Pública surge como corriente teórica y técnica que busca coadyuvar en dicha transformación, tomando en consideración el modelo de trabajo y procedimientos empleados en la administración privada. No obstante lo anterior, son muchos los profesionales que aún se debaten en cuanto al verdadero génesis de dicha corriente, significado, rango de aplicación y efectos; por lo que el debate continúa abierto, fortaleciendo la manera en que incluso las organizaciones internacionales propician un ambiente para su implementación en los países Iberoamericanos.
Análisis crítico y comparativo de las teorías de internalización e internacionalización
Authors: Ugalde Binda Nadia
Published: November 2022

Gran parte de la literatura científica en las revistas de administración de negocios circulan alrededor de los temas de internalización (o teoría de costes de transacción, en adelante TCE por sus siglas en inglés) e internacionalización. Algunos autores apoyan y otros critican sus enunciados, pero pocos han tratado de analizar, comparar y si es posible integrar estas dos importantes teorías. Este trabajo se enfoca en realizar un análisis crítico de los aportes científicos hechos alrededor de estos temas y comparar sus supuestos básicos. Su objetivo principal es encontrar puntos de similitud y diferencias, así como proveer al director de empresas de una diversidad de apreciaciones que le permitan adaptar las teorías a la realidad de su entorno.
