Supervisory Empowerment Behaviors, Psychological Empowerment and Work Outcomes among Egyptian Managers and Professionals: A Preliminary Study
Authors: El-Kot Ghada , Burke Ronald J. , Wolpin Jacob 
Published: April 2021

Abstract

Objective: This research examined the relationship of perceived supervisor empowerment behaviors with important work and well-being outcomes in a sample of Egyptian managers and professionals. Relatively little research has been undertaken on human resource management in Egyptian organizations and even less during and following the Arab spring.

Methodology: Data were collected from 121 managerial and professional employees using anonymously completed questionnaires. Respondents were relatively young, had university educations, had short job and organizational tenures, and held lower level -management jobs. All measures used here had been used and validated previously by other researchers.

Findings: Work outcomes included job satisfaction, organizational commitment, work engagement, exhibiting voice behaviors, workplace learning opportunities, psychological well-being and intent to quit. Employee perceptions of supervisory empowering behaviors predicted their levels of psychological empowerment. And both perceived levels of supervisory/leader empowerment behaviors and self-reported feelings of empowerment had significant relationships with the majority of work and well-being outcomes

Value Added: Relatively little research has been undertaken on human resource management in Egyptian organizations and even less during and following the Arab spring. This will add to the body of knowledge about Egyptian managers and other Arab regions.

Recommendations: Practical implications of these findings along with future research directions are offered. Practical applications include training supervisors on empowerment behaviors, and training all employees on the benefits of personal empowerment and efficacy and ways to increase them.
Advancements in the Evolution of Human Capacities to Know
Authors: Pharoah Mark C 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The premise of this paper is that there are three distinct and hierarchical ‘categories of knowledge’ (Pharoah 2018). The first of these is physiological knowledge which is acquired over generations through the interaction between replicating lineages and the environment. This interaction facilitates the evolution of meaningful physiological structures, forms, functions, and qualitative ascriptions. Second, there is phenomenal knowledge which is qualified by the utilisation of real-time experience to effect an individuated spatiotemporal subjective perspective. This capability requires sophisticated cognitive capabilities. Conceptual knowledge is the third category and constitutes a network of abstracted principles about the spatiotemporal and phenomenal world of experience. From this starting premise, I argue that human knowledge can still be viewed as impoverished because of the absence of the next category which has not yet emerged. I suggest that this category will be apparent when a fuller understanding is acquired concerning the dynamic nature of concept construction and structuring. This will demand a transdisciplinary and multimodal approach.
Clitic-verb non-adjacency and the inertial theory of grammatical change: evidence from the history of European Portuguese
Authors: Nkollo Mikołaj 
Published: April 2021

AbstractAlthough clitic-verb non-adjacency is a minor linear pattern in contemporary European Portuguese (EP), it showed a significant frequency in the Classical and early Modern eras. The aims of the study are twofold. First, an attempt is made to pinpoint the contribution of the cl-X-verb model to the non-morphological attachment of proclitics to their verbal hosts in present-day EP. By means of a corpus analysis conducted in the 17th through 19th century texts, clitic-verb non-adjacency is demonstrated to have helped eliminate clitic -specific allomorphy in the preverbal domain. Its precise role consisted in preventing proclitics from being integrated into their hosts. The second aim is to see how this diagnosis fits in with the inertial model of grammatical change. In line with Longobardi’s proposal (2001), innovation in the syntactic processing of preverbal pronouns is claimed to have come about as a side-effect of the changes in more peripheral modules of grammar, i.e. in phonology and morphology.
The development of the uses ofha / ha vái / ha sma váiwith or without the narrative perfect and language layers in the old Yajurveda-Saṁhitā texts
Authors: Amano Kyoko 
Published: April 2021

AbstractIt is well known that the perfect with the particlehais used in the narrative sense in the younger Vedic prose. In the older Vedic prose,Maitrāyaṇī Saṁhitā(MS),Kāṭhaka-Saṁhitā(KS) andTaittirīya-Saṁhitā(TS), there is a certain distribution of past tense categories: the imperfect for the gods myths and the perfect for the past of the period of predecessors. It is supposed that the latter use of the perfect was extended to the area of the former use of the imperfect.In this paper, uses of the particlehain the three Yajurveda-Saṁhitā texts will be examined. The results suggest that the different uses ofhacharacterize different language layers in these texts. The following points are of special interest:1)haandha váiwith the present verb often characterize a logical consequence derived from the context; hence, they mean “namely, in conclusion”. Many examples of this use are found in MS, but fewer in KS and TS.2)ha sma ( ā́ )with the present indicative indicates a repeated and habitual action in the past. In MS, it is almost always used with āha (functionally present) and indicates a ritual opinion of predecessors: “(A predecessor, i.e. Aruṇa Aupaveśi or Keśin Satyakāmi) used to say.” KS and TS have examples with verbs other thanāha.3)hawith the perfect hardly appears in MS, but KS and TS have many examples.4)ha vai ... uvācain KS corresponds toha sma (vā́)āhain MS in the parallel passages. This may be the origin of the narrative use of the perfect.It may be concluded that the language of KS and that of TS are close to each other and that the language of MS has different features from them, even though it is generally supposed that MS and KS belonged to the same branch but TS to another. Moreover, linguistic innovations occurred not always gradually, but through certain innovative authors. This may provide a new perspective for clarifying the relations between the three texts and their process of composition.

Paget’s Disease of Bone Diagnosed on SPECT/CT: A Case Report
Authors: Vyazmin V. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
I reported a case of a seventy-five-year-old woman with a backache and pain in left femur. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of back, pelvis and hips showed bone marrow lesion suggesting bone metastasis. The patient was admitted to nuclear medicine department of Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Oncology Center. Single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography (SPECT/CT) of the skeletal system together with several laboratory tests (alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus), provided grounds for the diagnosis of Paget’s disease. The patient was qualified for treatment to the Rheumatologist.

Abstract
Introduction: Peer learning is an important component of the postgraduate medical curriculum, and it is considered as an integral part of learning in some countries. The practice of peer learning among postgraduate trainees, especially the resident doctors, is an area that has not been explored in Nigeria and other third world countries. This study aims to examine the practice, perception, and drivers of peer-to-peer training in Nigeria.
Methodology: This study was a national multi-centre and multi-disciplinary cross-sectional survey, conducted among resident doctors in Nigeria. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to obtain respondents’ biodata, perception and practice on peer learning. Data were analysed using SPSS version 23 software. Results were presented as frequency table and proportion, means, and standard deviation. Inferential statistics such as bivariate analysis was performed.
Results: Majority, 287 (73.2%), considered the peer education programme as an appropriate learning practice, 173 (45.9%) considered peer education programme integrated part of the training, while 350/383 (88.2%) engaged in a peer education programme. Statistically, a significant association was found between those who considered peer training as appropriate (p = 0.038) and those who considered peer education as an integral part of postgraduate medical training curriculum (p =0.009).
Conclusion: Peer learning is popular among resident doctors in Nigeria. Concerted efforts are needed to re-structure the residency training curriculum in order to maximize the benefits of this learning approach for an effective training programme.
Poisoning-Induced Non-Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema: Mechanism and Outcome
Authors: Hsu Chih-Chun , Lin Nai-Hui , Yang Hsiu-Wu , Su Yu-Jang 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Background: pulmonary edema results from the shift of excessive fluid into the alveoli space and can be clinically classified into cardiogenic or non-cardiogenic by pathophysiology. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism, outcomes, and prevention of poisoning induced non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (PINCPE).
Materials and methods: we conducted a study on etiology, epidemiology, mechanism, risk, and length of hospital stay in PINCPE. A PubMed search using terms: poisoning and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. From 1986 to 2017, a total of 15 articles with 16 cases (2 cases in one article) were included. Cut-off value of mean age was used for classification of subjects into younger group and older group, and length of stay (LOS) was compared between the two groups.
Results: the age range of the patients was 7 to 72 years, and the average age (mean ± SD [standard deviation]) was 35.7±19.5 years. Among the reported substances in PINCPE, calcium channel blockers (CCBs) were most frequently used (n=8; 50%). In electrocardiogram (ECG), sinus tachycardia (n=8; 50%) was the most common finding. The overall rate of intubation with mechanical ventilator support was 81.3%. The mortality rate was 12.5%. Among patients with PINCPE, LOS was significantly shorter in the younger group aged <35.7 years than in the older group (5.7 vs. 8.9; p=.022).
Conclusion: CCB was the most common etiologic agent in PINCPE. Up to 81.3% of PINCPE cases required intubation with ventilator support due to respiratory failure. LOS may increase 3.2 days if the case is complicated with extra-pulmonary organ failure.
Is the Transition to Bioeconomy a Sustainable Solution in Fast-fashion Industry, Considering the Overconsumption? - Premises for Future Research
Authors: Ciornea Raluca 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThe main objective of the paper is to inquire if bioeconomy is a “saving” sustainable solution to major problems caused by fast-fashion industry - consumption of non-renewable and scarce natural resources, waste generation, pollution - in the actual conditions of overconsumption and consumption intensification due to accelerated increase of global population. A closer look reveals that not only that fast-fashion industry is not bridging the gap to sustainability, but also that its transit to bioeconomy (which is the main alternative proposed by global organisms to increase sustainability) may deepen the global issues wanted to be solved, if the current business models are maintained. Insides evidence that individual overconsumption outpaces the fast-fashion industry’s efforts to create a sustainable bio-economic system, thus is imperative to redesign the business models to use less important natural resources and to reduce the environmental impact, while in parallel discourage the overconsumption. Consequently, fast-fashion business models need to have a sustainable holistic approach and incorporate sustainable measures, which are able to shift the consumer behaviour from overconsumption to sustainable choices, in their marketing objectives, strategies and actions. Based on the findings, premises for future research were proposed.
A Partition of unity finite element method for valuation American option under Black-Scholes model
Authors: El kharrazi Zaineb , Izem Nouh , Malek Mustapha , Saoud Sahar 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
In this paper, we present an intelligent combination of partition of unity (PU) and finite element (FE) methods for valuing American option pricing problems governed by the Black-Scholes (BS) model. The model is based on a partial differential equation (PDE) from which one can deduce the Black-Scholes formula, which gives a theoretical estimated value of options using current stock prices, expected dividends, the option’s strike price, expected interest rates, time to expiration and expected volatility. Although the finite element method (FEM) seems to be an alternative tool for pricing options with a few applications reported in the literature, this combination called the Partition of Unity Finite Element Method (PUFEM) appears to offer many of the desired properties. The main advantage of the proposed approach is its ability to locally refine the solution by adapting an incorporated specific class of enrichment in the finite element space instead of generating a new fine mesh for the problem under study. Numerical computations are carried out to show a huge reduction in the number of degrees of freedom required to achieve a fixed accuracy which confirms that the PUFE method used is very efficient and gives better accuracy than the conventional FE method.
Dansens Lärande
Authors: Román Gun 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This article is about two artistic-pedagogical projects in contemporary dance at the University of Dance and Circus (DOCH) in Stockholm, during 2001–2004. In Sweden there has not been any research concerning the teaching of contemporary dance within Higher Education. Together with the dance teachers in contemporary dance we started a developmental project where we tried to catch the core of the education in dance technique, the visions of the teachers, their teaching and how it related to their backgrounds. I also wanted to pay attention to the place of art within dance technique. Through the project the teaching and the role of the teacher becomes visible. Out of the project grows a modern Master-teacher- method (mästarlära), a conscious, reflexive teaching related to learning theories.
The Dance Project (im)Perfections as a Deep Educational Experience of Plurality
Authors: Østern Tone Pernille 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The focus of this article on the experiences of learning of the participants in the Norwegian-Australian dance project Perfect (im)Perfections–stories untold (shortened to P(im)P). The context for the research project is the Australian choreographer Philip Channells’ four week long residency in Trondheim, Norway, where he produced a dance performance together with 20 very different dancers for MultiPlié dance festival 2014. The dancers varied in age from 23 to 80, they were differently bodied, some worked professionally with dance, others were dancing for almost the first time. The dancers seemed to have strong experiences, including a sense of deep learning, as they took part in the project. That led the author to an investigation of theory about deep learning (Tochon 2010) and about doing and acting plurality as an educational experience (Biesta 2006, 2014). In addition to following the production period as an observer, the author interviewed six of the dancers and the choreographer about their experiences in the project. As the author interprets the interviews through the theoretical lenses created by combining the perspectives of Tochon and Biesta she characterises the pedagogical opportunities and value in P(im)P as a deep educational experience of plurality.
Dance Teacher Educators’ Identity
Authors: Rustad Hilde , Skreiberg Marit 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This article investigates the professional identity of dance teacher educators by looking at one specific educator. We show how the practice-based dance knowledge acquired through the act of dancing creates a foundation for teaching dance and dance teaching, as well as theoretical dance subjects, such as dance pedagogy. Through this research, it has become apparent that there has been a lack of educator education in dance teacher education in Norway, and therefore, dance teacher educators can be understood to be self-taught. We show how, by making conscious choices, dance teacher educators have the possibility to enter and pursue educator education; how, through these choices, one gains new experiences; and how meaning making and experience are closely connected with identity construction as an ongoing process. The article adopts a phenomenological research approach inspired by Max van Manen, and the materials were gathered through interviews, conversations and textual readings.

Waltzing with Strindberg: Exploring Practices of Memory in A Dream Play
Authors: von Rosen Astrid , Nilsson Mats 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The aim of this article is to explore embodied practices of memory in Strindberg’s drama A Dream Play from a dance perspective. It is demonstrated that a profound exploration of this hitherto underexplored perspective can provide a fuller and more critically productive understanding of the drama. Even if in recent years international Strindberg studies has moved away from narrowly text-oriented and biographical approaches to his work, and toward multimedia, visual and multisensory aspects of it, dance and choreography are still rare topics within the field. In the article we first look at how Strindberg employed dance in the dramatic text for A Dream Play, and then expand on his dance contexts. Thirdly, we turn to a TV version of A Dream Play from 1980 to explore in particular how the waltz, an immensely popular dance form in Strindberg’s time, evokes and embodies cultural memories in the production. What is presented in the article draws on and further expands our work within the project «Dream-playing across borders: accessing the non-texts of Strindberg’s A Dream Play in Düsseldorf, 1915–18 and beyond», at the University of Gothenburg.
Stehblues–Do You Want to Dance with Me?
Authors: Çam Ninel 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The participatory dance performance STEHBLUES was created by the duo of Ninel Çam (an artist) and Chris Schaal (a filmmaker), who travel to different cities, mark a 2m x 2m area in a public space, and display an illustrated sign that lets passersby know that they can dance with the standing-and-waiting artist if they want. Chris Schaal documents the performances through still images and videos. Moving images are live-streamed to the World Cafe in Stuttgart.
In STEHBLUES, the artist stands in the midst of the marked field in a public space, waiting until a stranger is willing to slow-dance with her. As soon as someone volunteers, a relationship is created in this sphere of dance and becomes an ephemeral part of the city, of the culture, of the world. STEHBLUES travels to different cities that have invited this project to be part of their culture or to cities with which the artists feel a connection.
A Sámi media system?
Authors: Rasmussen Torkel , Sara Inker-Anni , Krøvel Roy 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
In this article, we propose a history of Sámi journalism and news media as a step in the direction of analysing the existing media system in Sápmi. Numerous Sámi activists and organisations have contributed to the establishment and running of Sámi media – in interaction, cooperation, and conflict with external actors such as missionaries, investors, and state institutions. This has resulted in a rich and vivid Sámi media environment and infrastructure, with many of the characteristics of a media system. However, fundamental processes governing the Sámi media system are subjected to regulations, procedures, and institutions external to Sámi society. This article calls for greater Sámi self-determination over key elements of the media system.
Political parallelism in Iceland
Authors: Guðmundsson Birgir 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
My main objective in this article is to examine the importance of political parallelism in Iceland through establishing the extent to which political parallelism is perceived to char-acterise political communication in Iceland by politicians and voters. Political parallelism is one of the defining elements of Hallin and Mancini's typology of media systems. Based on candidate surveys from five elections and a voter survey, indexes of perceived political parallelism are configured for politicians and voters. The analysis suggests a high degree of perceived political parallelism and that the perceptions are reflected in partisan ideological views of individual media outlets. The same – or at least similar – perceptions about political parallelism in the media system seem to penetrate the system irrespective of age and at the national, local, and individual level of politics. However, voters and candidates of social democratic and liberal internationally oriented parties perceive a significantly lower degree of parallelism than others.
News consumption patterns in Iceland
Authors: Jóhannsdóttir Valgerður 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
News consumption has changed dramatically in the digital age, becoming increasingly complicated and fragmented. In this study, I analyse news consumption patterns in Iceland, drawing on data from a survey conducted in 2017, and compare it with news consumption in other Nordic countries. It is the first such study in Iceland in the digital age. The findings demonstrate that news are widely consumed by the general public, as in general in the Nordic region. Online sites are Icelanders’ most popular main source of news, followed by television and then social media. Legacy media are still most people's primary source of news, even if they are accessed on new platforms. Like in other Nordic countries, a small minority interacts with news online.
