Published: July 2022

Abstract
One step melanoma surgery (OSMS) is an innovative, personalized approach to the surgical treatment of cutaneous melanoma, which not only follows the total resection fields recommended by AJCC and EJC, but also has a significant advantage over these guidelines; namely, conduction of the procedure within a single surgical session. Guidelines for personalized surgical treatment of cutaneous melanoma can be used at any stage of the disease. The ideal purposes/goals of these newly introduced guidelines are to reduce the number of locoregional and distant recurrences and to stop the advancement of melanomas in a subsequent stage. In contrast to the histology, which under AJCC/EJC guidelines determines the extent of the subsequent or second surgical intervention, the leading starting points for personalized one step melanoma surgery are completely different and based on a complex final assessment, including: 1) clinical and dermatoscopic characteristics in favor of cutaneous melanoma, 2) preoperative ultrasound determination of tumor thickness, and, if possible, 3) the conduction of confocal microscopy. Another important and innovative proposal of the newly created OSMS guidelines is the requirement of absolute reciprocity between the preoperatively measured and subsequent histopathologically established surgical margins. The lack of such reciprocity under previously established guidelines (AJCC/EJC) till the present moment seriously calls into question the reliability of the data shared in the medical field concerning the size of resection fields. Three patients with suspected melanocytic lesions are presented and the applicability, advantages, and disadvantages of the personalized one step melanoma surgery versus two step melanoma surgery (AJCC/EJC) are discussed.
Late motherhood and spatial aspects of late fertility in Slovakia
Authors: Šprocha Branislav , Fitalová Anna 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Shifting childbearing to later reproductive ages is reflected in all European populations. Late motherhood also changes, from the point of view of parity structure, since nowadays, the beginning of reproductive pathways is increasingly realised at the age of 35 and over more often. The regional dimension of this phenomenon is significantly overlooked, however. The main aim of this paper is to explore how the level and the impact of late motherhood has changed from a spatial perspective. We use Slovakia as a case study population characterised until the end of the 1980s by an early beginning of reproduction and its concentration in the first half of the reproductive period, and by relatively significant socio-economic, cultural and demographic differences. At the same time, we point out the changes in late motherhood in terms of parity structure. Finally, through linear regression models, we try to identify which of the selected factors may condition the differences in share of late fertility and the significance of first births at advanced reproductive ages.
Development of supportive characteristics to facilitate learning from strategic alliances
Authors: Lehene Cosmin Florin 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we aim to find answer to a single question: what are the characteristics of firms with superior use of alliance learning practices? Consequently, we aim to discover the characteristics of firms which are more preoccupied to learn from their strategic alliances. We investigate this research question through a statistical analysis of the answers provided by 46 best performing medium and large-sized companies operating in Romania. By means of several multilinear regressions and an analysis of variance, we found that the companies with superior use of alliance learning practices – thus, more preoccupied to learn – are more proactive, build an alliance culture favouring the use of alliances, develop relational attributes in their alliances (e.g., trust), respectively monitor and control their alliance activity to a higher degree. Contrary to expectations, the companies with superior use of alliance learning practices do not collaborate to a higher degree horizontally, with their competitors and complementors. In terms of the dispersion of companies depending on their use of alliance learning practices, to a high degree (34.1%), the differences between companies can be explained by the proposed set of characteristics developed in this paper. Our findings contribute to the existent literature in the field of alliances, bringing empirical evidence on the characteristics that companies need to develop to better learn from their strategic alliances. In addition, executives of medium and large-sized companies find in this paper valuable information regarding the nurturing of alliance knowledge acquisition and transfer from their strategic allies and partners.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
As COVID-19 had been posing unprecedented challenges, the economic agents as well as the individuals had to adapt to a new lifestyle. The preventing measures against the spread of the virus determined an increase in e-commerce activity in general, and in mobile commerce in particular. In this regard, sellers redefined their strategies revolving around smartphone applications for online shopping, which will gradually become the global shopping standard. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the current situation of e-commerce, focusing on the main transformations since the beginning of the pandemic. The methods used in the paper consist in both qualitative research of the literature regarding e-commerce and a quantitative analysis that captures two aspects: on one hand it highlights the change determined by the pandemic in online commerce, and on the other hand it shows an X-ray of the EU states positioning in terms of e-commerce evolution. The latter consists in a comparative Hierarchical Cluster Analysis that aims to provide an image on the situation of EU states, before and after the pandemic has been installed. The Cluster Analysis was carried out in SPSS software and it is based on a series of chosen indicators from Eurostat database. This comparison provides an image of how changes among the clusters take place in terms of e-commerce indicators. It is noted that in countries where the digitization was more developed, the value of the change in online commerce was less considerable, comparing to the Eastern and Balkan states, which had a more significant increase. However, there are significant limitations based on the small number of indicators taken into consideration in this paper. Future work needs to be done in order to explore new ways to address the challenges identified in the development of e-commerce and online shopping.
A Comparison of Variational Projection and Cartographic Projection by Ritz’s Method
Authors: Ábrahámová Andrea , Vajsáblová Margita 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The application of alternative mathematical methods in creating cartographic projections is an interesting factor, which affects the optimization of distortions and their distribution in the projected territory. This article presents the methodology for the creation and comparison of conformal cartographic projections formed by alternative mathematical methods of minimizing the integral criterion for scale distortion in Slovakia. The creation of the variational projection is based on the Airy-Kavraiskii criterion of evaluating the projection on the displayed area by solving Laplace's equation. The second projection is created by solving Poisson's equation using Ritz's method. Our analysis showed that the variational projection of Slovakia achieves more satisfactory distortion values than the cartographic projection created using Ritz's method. The advantage of Ritz's method is that it is possible to choose a boundary condition for a predefined undistorted convex closed curve. In this paper, we have also derived specific members of the map equations for cartographic projection based on solving Poisson's equation by Ritz's method.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
This study investigates the determinants of dividend pay-out of listed firms in Pakistan from the year 2011 to 2015. The focus of the study is the life cycle theory of dividends, agency theory and signaling theory. Corporate governance indicators, firm efficiency and cash flow volatility are the main determinants used in this study. This study also includes eight corporate governance indicators namely insider ownership, ownership concentration, institutional ownership, board independence, board size, CEO duality, audit committee independence and remuneration committee. It is found that ownership concentration, institutional ownership, CEO duality, firm efficiency and cash flow volatility are the significant determinants of dividend pay-out in Pakistan. It is also found that growth opportunities significantly moderate the impact of ownership concentration, institutional ownership, CEO duality, firm efficiency, cash flow volatility on the dividend pay-out. This research is among the pioneer studies which examine the impact of firm efficiency on dividend pay-out. Likewise, the study is among the first attempts to incorporate growth opportunities as moderating variable in the relationship between corporate governance indicators, firm efficiency and cash flow volatility with dividend pay-out. Results show that the management of an efficient firm pays a high dividend to increase its reputation in the market. Furthermore, the negative signaling effect of dividend omission may not exist for efficient firms. It implies that efficient firms at their growth stage may also skip dividends.

This research concerned with theoretical and experimental study of forced convection through circular cross section channel that is horizontally arranged and heated under constant heat flux. The theoretical part delt with numerical solution for momentum equation of one dimension and energy equation of tow dimension by used of finite difference at variable grid size in vertical direction at gradient pressure between (103-106) The energy equation used implicit method and marching process to find the value and distribution of temperature through this channel. This model have been compared with another that have variable permeability and porosity and show that the change in permeability and channeling phenomena have significant effect on increase of rate of heat transfer and also increase in Nusselt number to 30% and also show show that the increase in gradient pressure is variant with rate of heat transfer ,but this variant disappear in thermal fully develop region. In experimental part testes was carried out for three value of Peclet numbers (17,25,40) with change of amount of power supply for each number. The results show hat the increase rate of heat transfer cause increase of Nusselt number and also show good agreement between theoretical and experimental results especially at low Nusselt number and also show there is deviation of experiential result from the theoretical result at high Nusselt number about 20%.

Les contributions composant ce volume, sans avoir l’ambition de retracer l’histoire du développement de l’ensemble des théories du temps et de l’espace en linguistique, essaieront de répondre à la question de savoir comment ces concepts ont été intégrés dans un certain nombre de conceptions concrètes. Ces appréhensions du temps et de l’espace (réalité linguistique et catégories conceptuelles) varient, suivant les auteurs, de quelques pages à des ouvrages complets. Les conceptions et les textes abordés dans ce recueil datent du seuil du XXe siècle, des années 1920 ou encore de l’époque contemporaine.
Pour mieux rendre compte de la continuité des thèmes liés au temps et à l’espace à travers l’histoire de la linguistique, nous avons disposé les contributions selon un ordre chronologique, en commençant par le XIXe et jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine.
La notion d’intentionnalité chez R.O. Šor
Authors: Isanina Anna 
Published: July 2022

Cet article présente une tentative de démontrer, à partir du cas de la notion d’intentionnalité, que, parmi les précurseurs intellectuels de la conception linguistique de R.O. Šor, on peut compter non seulement F. de Saussure, mais également la phénoménologie d’E. Husserl, deux systèmes d’idées déclinés à travers le prisme marxiste. L’idée de l’orientation volontaire et consciente du sujet parlant vers son objet, d’un côté, et vers son interlocuteur, de l’autre, qui se trouve derrière le concept d’intentionnalité, a permis à Šor de développer sa propre conception de la langue et du signe où elle a conjugué l’approche sociologique saussurienne, la conception logico-sémiotique husserlienne et les fondements socio-économiques marxistes. Une brève analyse de deux articles de vulgarisation sur la traduction montre que même derrière les propos critiques de la Šor-vulgarisatrice on peut retrouver la même position conceptuelle que celle que la Šor-linguiste défendait dans ses ouvrages scientifiques.

Homonymous Terms in Musical and Philological Studies
Authors: Чигарёва Е.И. 
Published: July 2022

Статья посвящена сравнению терминологии в музыке и литературе. Несмотря на общность многих терминов, они очень часто имеют различное значение, то есть оказываются терминами-омонимами (Е. Г. Эткинд). Подобные явления могут возникнуть и из-за параллелизма видов искусства, и как результат взаимовлияния двух гуманитарных наук (музыковедение и филология), но также вследствие аналогий, которые используют исследователи, пытаясь сблизить музыку и литературу.Омонимия терминов может проявляться: на уровне строения музыкальной и литературной речи (мотив, фраза, предложение, период и т. д.); на уровне художественных приемов и средств выразительности (консонанс и диссонанс, рифма, метр, ритм, синтаксический параллелизм и т. д.); на уровне видов музыкальной (литературной) речи (поэзия и проза, полифония и т. д.); на уровне жанров (поэма, новелла, элегия, сказка, эскиз, экспромт, афоризмы, мадригал, монолог и т. д.).В статье подробно рассматриваются первые два уровня. Анализ показывает как близость, так и подчас радикальное различие двух видов искусства (и соответственно использующейся учеными терминологии), что связано с их спецификой.
The article is devoted to the comparison of terminology in music and literature. Despite the commonality of many terms, they often have different meanings, in other words, they are homonymous terms (E. G. Etkind). Such phenomena may arise because of the parallelism of the arts, and as a result of the interaction of the two humanities (musicology and philology), but also because of the analogies used by researchers trying to bring together music and literature.Homonymy of terms can be manifested at the level of structure of musical and literary speech (motive, phrase, sentence, period, etc.); at the level of artistic techniques and means of expression (consonance and dissonance, rhyme, meter, rhythm, syntactic parallelism, etc.); at the level of types of musical (literary) speech (poetry and prose, polyphony, etc.); at the level of genres (poem, Novella, Elegy, fairy tale, sketch, impromptu, aphorisms, Madrigal, monologue etc.).The article details the first two levels. The analysis shows both the commonality and sometimes radical difference between the two types of art (and, accordingly, the terminology used by researchers), which is associated with their specificity.
False Recapitulation: Considerations Regarding the History of the Term and the Method
Authors: Лосева О.В. 
Published: July 2022

В отечественном музыкознании словосочетание «ложная реприза» давно функционирует как термин. Художественный прием, который он собой обозначает, имеет ряд устойчивых признаков, хотя акценты в его описании у исследователей могут ставиться по-разному. В зарубежном музыкознании (например, в немецком) картина не столь ясна. И дело не только в отсутствии единого общепринятого термина для обозначения этого явления, но и в том, что само оно трактуется более широко и место его дислокации в музыкальном произведении может оказаться на значительном удалении от начала настоящей репризы.
In Russian musicology the word combination “false recapitulation” has long been functioning as a term. The artistic device which is denoted by the term has a number of sustainable features, though scholars may give a different emphasis to the term in describing and interpreting it. In foreign musicology (German, for instance) the picture may not be that clear. The reason for it is not just the absence of a single generally accepted term to denote this phenomenon, but also in the more comprehensive interpretation of the phenomenon and the place for its location in musical work which might happen to be rather distanced from the starting point of the actual recapitulation.
Metaphorical Terminology in the Russian Methodology of Holistic Analysis
Authors: Григорьева Г.В. 
Published: July 2022

В статье обосновывается необходимость сохранения в методологии музыкального анализа достижений отечественной аналитической школы, в частности, метода целостного анализа В. А. Цуккермана, опирающегося на систему терминов-метафор, подчеркивается их роль в раскрытии образного содержания музыки, концепции произведения. Среди них — термин «семантика прощания», который относится к процессам,подчеркивающим функцию завершения в музыкальных структурах, направленным на «разъяснение формы» и обладающим богатым арсеналом выразительных средств. Другой важнейший термин-метафора — «завершающая перемена» («перемена в последний раз»), введенный В. А. Цуккерманом в его теории масштабно-тематических структур. Оправданность этих терминов-метафор рассмотрена на примерах музыкальных структур разных уровней — в кодах (Л. Бетховен, финал Фортепианной сонаты op. 53, И. Стравинский, «Агон»), в финалах циклов (А. Шнитке, Фортепианный квинтет; Г. Малер, «Песня о земле»; Ф. Караев, Концерт для скрипки с оркестром).
The article substantiates the necessity of preserving in the methodology of musical analysis the achievements of the national analytical school, in particular, the method of holistic analysis of V. A. Tsukkerman, based on the system of metaphorical terms. Their role in revealing the semantic content of music, the concept of the work is emphasized. A term “semantics of farewell”, which refers to the processes emphasizing the function of termination in musical structures, aimed at “explaining the form” and having a rich arsenal of expressive means, is among them. Another important metaphorical term is “the final change” (“change for the last time”), coined by V. A. Tsukkerman in his theory of syntactic structures. An applicability of these metaphorical terms is considered on different scale levels — in the codas (Beethoven, finale of the Piano sonata op. 53, I. Stravinsky, “Agon”), in the finals of the cycles (A. Schnittke, Piano quintet, G. Mahler, “The song of the earth”, F. Karayev, Violin concerto).
From Kammerspiele to Existential Tragedy: the Role of Music in "Stroszek" and "Woyzeck" by Werner Herzog
Authors: Невидимова М.А. 
Published: July 2022

Золотой век немецкого кино для кинорежиссера Вернера Херцога в 1970-х – 1980-х годах являлся «энциклопедией» жанров. Воплощая стилистику фильмов ушедшей эпохи, Херцог, тем не менее, шел по пути возрождения, а не копирования, психологизируя типизированный нарратив и наполняя его новыми смыслами. Главным инструментом «психологизации» у Херцога становится классическая музыка. Так, благодаря музыке, в фильмах «Строшек» и «Войцек» черты, характерные для жанра каммершпиле, утрачивают резкость, и вместо камерных буржуазных драм перед зрителем возникают экзистенциальные трагедии.
In 1970s – 1980s, the Golden age of German cinema was for the film director Werner Herzog an encyclopaedia of genres. Implementing the stylistics of the movies of the past era, Herzog, nonetheless, pursued the path of revival, and not of imitating, adding psychological aspect to typified narrative and filling it with new meanings. The main means for adding psychological aspect for Herzog was classical music. Thus, due to music, the features of Kammerspiele in the films “Stroszek” and “Woyzeck” become less distinct and instead of chamber bourgeois dramas there are existential tragedies.
