International Journal of Qualitative Methods 21 (January 2022): 160940692211374. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/16094069221137492.
Full textAbstract:
Collective action is needed to conceive and implement sustainability transitions within our society. Yet, it requires the coordination of a diversity of actors, each possessing their own reasoning. Integrating diversity, characterized by variety, disparity and balance, is thus a crucial methodological challenge to address, notably in order to enhance the quality of policy decisions concerning sustainability issues. Here we show how to tailor the way of collecting, analyzing and using actor reasoning diversity to the management style of collective action, characterized by the role the actors are allowed to play in defining collective action. To this purpose, we compare three design experiments using actor reasoning in the context of collective action aiming at developing sustainable food production: (1) considering actor reasoning in top-down decision-making (scallop fishery in Integrated Coastal Zone Management); (2) building consensus for a common strategy (quality in a sheep milk cooperative); and (3) fostering collective intelligence for individual and collective paths for action (agroecological transition of an agricultural territory). The diversity of actor reasoning in each of the design experiments was collected through cognitive mapping, a systemic representation tool adapted to represent actor reasoning. We propose a framework to adapt cognitive mapping methods to different management styles of collective action. In practice, adjusting the level and nature of the reasoning diversity considered at each step of a participatory process, through the way cognitive maps are collected and analyzed, is key to the tailoring of a cognitive mapping method to a management style of collective action. Overall, we show that the level of reasoning diversity considered in collective action should increase with actor involvement in analyses and decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
The history of laboratories may become controversial in social sciences. In this paper, the story of Sciences Po Médialab told by Venturini et al. is discussed and completed by demonstrating the incoherence in the choice of digital methods at the Médialab from the actor network theory perspective. As the Médialab mostly used web topologies as structural analysis of social positions, they were not able to account for the propagation of ideas, considered in actor network theory as non-humans that have their own agency. The main arguments in favour of the ‘more continuous social’ developed at the Médialab (quali-quanti, following the actors, zooming) proved to be as misleading as the network metaphor. The distribution of agency that actor network theory so successfully expands was paradoxicallty reduced to structures and individual preferences, to the detriment of the agency of replications that circulate entities in the form of messages, content or memes, and that should now become the next step for actor network theory-style digital methods.

Full textAbstract:
#BlackLivesMatter accompanies several cases of discrimination against the black community. The hashtag was spread by actors who have great influences on Twitter users. The actors create communication network which connected to each other to form opinions about the Black Lives Matter movement. Researchers conducted a study to determine the distribution of #BlackLivesMatter at the actor level for the period 20-27 April 2021 in Twitter. The study used quantitative methods and a positivistic paradigm with a Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach. The results show that the actor with the highest degree of centrality is @jeanmessiha with 238 interactions, the actor with the highest betweenness centrality is @helloagain0611 with a value of 0.000049, the actor with the highest eigenvector centrality is @jeanmessiha with a value of 1 and there are 1,416 actors who have closeness centrality. # BlackLivesMatter has a low diameter value so that it spreads quickly but not too widely, not much reciprocity occurs, not concentrated in one dominant cluster but spread widely in several clusters. The actors play a role in spreading diverse opinions regarding Black Lives Matter, thus creating free discussion in several clusters on Twitter. Opinion widely spread on Twitter creates public opinion regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a preliminary exploration of an actor-based model for subject indexing, which considers four types of actors: professional indexers, domain experts, casual indexers, and machine algorithms. The paper describes each of the four actors, enumerating differences in approach, training, methodology, priorities, and tools, as well as similarities and historical collaborations between actors. The paper then explores how the actor-based model for subject indexing might serve as a complement to existing models that focus on processes, methods, disciplinary norms, and cultural biases by defining and exploring the following key properties of an actor-based model for subject indexing: 1) actors are the primary drivers of subject indexing work, 2) observing and understanding many types of actors’ processes in real-life situations is as valuable as prescribing correct methods for professional subject indexing, and 3) multiple and different types of actors can perform subject analysis work and subject representation work on the same information objects, and these hybrid (multi-actor) approaches to subject indexing are explicitly supported. These key properties suggest that an actor-based model for subject indexing might open new research opportunities and encourage new hybrid and collaborative approaches to knowledge organization.

Full textAbstract:
Twitter is used to express about something that happened. In Indonesia since 2012, Twitter has been widely used for campaigns during regional or presidential elections. Apart from positive campaigns, negative campaigns and even black campaigns were carried out via Twitter, and tweets become twitwar. Twitter is a social network, so the data can be analyzed using a social network analysis approach. This research was conducted to analyze which nodes (actors) are influential using the degree, between, and closeness centrality methods, while the follower rank method is used for the analysis of popular actors in "# 4niesKingOfDrama". The data were 8895 nodes with 23257 edges taken from January 1 to February 20, 2020. The results showed that Degree Centrality was 212 with the actor who had the highest influence score was the account @ Bangsul__88 and actor @airin_nz was the actor with the highest popularity value with Follower Rank of 0.98211783. This study found that among the 10 main actors with the highest Degree Centrality values, there were several accounts that were buzzer accounts. The node (Actor) with the highest influence value is not necessarily the node with the highest popularity value.

As a starting hypothesis is the fact of non-universality of the existing mechanisms of investment strategy formation is accepted, which necessitates their improvement and adaptation taking into account the variability of the environment and current tendencies of development of international economic relations. The purpose of the work was to analyze theoretical provisions and develop practical recommendations for improving the efficiency of the enterprise investment strategy formation as a international economic actors. The most important objective factors are the effective formation and use of financial resources in ensuring the development of an enterprise at the present stage of international business operation, which is primarily related to the use of new systems and methods of managing these processes. Considerable influence on the market situation of instability factors is taken into account. It is proved that under these conditions the role of investment strategy, which provides priority directions of enterprise development in international business, is significantly increasing. One of the important steps in the process of developing an investment strategy is to analyze the financial position of the company. The potential of tools and methods of economic and mathematical financial analysis is revealed for forming an effective investment strategy of enterprises - subjects of international business. It is concluded that the investment strategy of the enterprise - international economic actors is described by a balanced system of integral and integrated indicators of investing capital expediency in the investing object, which reflects the pro-spects of development, efficiency of resources using and assets, their liquidity, solvency status and financial stability as well as some informal aspects of the enterprise. Cluster analysis, matrix analysis, taxonomic analysis have been presented as the most promising and effective ones. The methods of their use for practical application in investment management are present-ed. Keywords: investment strategy, international economic relations, cluster analysis, matrix analysis, taxonomic analysis.

Full textAbstract:
There is an ongoing academic debate whether social media empowers activists and advocacy groups in relation to established political actors and media gatekeepers. This article investigates these premises by analysing the influence of various actors in two policy debates on Twitter, environmental policy (climate change) and Internet governance (net neutrality). We extract tweets on both topics and code the respective 500 most central accounts according to a categorisation of relevant political actor groups. Applying methods from social network analysis, we reveal temporally fluctuating actor constellations and network structures which converge to elite actors during high attention periods. Furthermore, a comparative keyword analysis shows that non-governmental organisations and citizen media emphasise personalised connective action frames, whereas political actors and traditional media tend to refer to the political decision-making process and its institutions. Both findings are in line with cyclical conceptions of policy processes.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCollaborative governance is an increasingly popular form of governance. In theory, collaborative governance processes should be inclusive and value the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, including nonprofit organizations. In practice, this may not be the case. Recent work on representation in collaborative governance has found asymmetry in the way actor groups are descriptively and substantively represented in the collaborative governance process. We extend this line of work by employing network methods to create a diagnostic tool to identify which individual actors are substantively represented in collaborative governance processes over time. This tool is designed to systematically evaluate whether individual actors are under or overrepresented in collaborative governance. It provides a starting point for groups to discuss whether they are functionally inclusive and to understand whether non-inclusion is random or systematic. We apply the tool to collaborative governance in a regional food system and find variance in substantive representation by actor, indicating the collaborative governance process diverges from its inclusive design in practice. In particular, nonprofit organizations who are formally part of the collaborative governance process are not substantively represented in formal meetings to the same degree as city and county agencies.

Omnibus Law is the merging of several different rules into one law. RUU Cipta Kerja is one part of the Omnibus Law that attracts attention because it is considered detrimental to society. This caused a lot of rejection and protests from the society. The protest was held directly in the form of demonstrations in various regions of Indonesia and also in Twitter through #BatalkanOmnibusLaw. The purpose of this research is to find out the analysis of communication networks and identify influential actors in #BatalkanOmnibusLaw on Twitter. This research uses Social Network Analysis (SNA) methods and Computer-mediated Communication theory. Data is collected through Twitter from August 1-October 31, 2020. The process of analyzing and retrieving data is using Netlytic.org and Gephi software. The results showed that there were 62 actors with 153 interactions. Proximity between actors is worth 3, meaning close proximity and easy interaction between actors. The interactions created between actors are very few, uneven ,and the interactions that occur only one way. The #BatalkanOmnibusLaw is centered on ten actors, the most dominant account is @fraksirakyatid. Based on degree centrality analysis, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, and eigenvector centrality the most influential actors in #BatalkanOmnibusLaw network are @fraksirakyatid and @walhinasional.

Full textAbstract:
Dokudrama is a non-fiction film that presents a story based on a true story. Besides being an entertainment medium, a film can also be a learning medium since film provides a good story content and messages. Therefore, it needs an actor as a subject to convey the message of the story that the director wants to deliver. To play a character in a movie, an actor must be able to delve into whatever character is given. Unlike documentaries, dokudrama films use actors as the main subject. An actor in a docudrama should be able to play a subject who has ever been real. An actor in a dokudrama film should be able to play a good role without removing the hallmarks of the original subject. A deepening process in a role, making every actor have their own way in learning the character. The differences in studying and delving into these characters is the focus of this research by using qualitative research methods, by re-describing the results of the researcher's analysis with the main theory. To create this study, the researchers used the presentation theory from Stanislavsky. The acting theory of this presentation has been used since the world of casting art entered Indonesia. This research aim is to find out the character deepening conducted by actors in the dokudrama film “Perjuangan K.H. Muhyiddin” based on the Stanislavsky’s acting presentation theory.

Full textAbstract:
There are several automated stock trading programs using reinforcement learning, one of which is an ensemble strategy. The main idea of the ensemble strategy is to train DRL agents and make an ensemble with three different actor–critic algorithms: Advantage Actor–Critic (A2C), Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). This novel idea was the concept mainly used in this paper. However, we did not stop there, but we refined the automated stock trading in two areas. First, we made another DRL-based ensemble and employed it as a new trading agent. We named it Remake Ensemble, and it combines not only A2C, DDPG, and PPO but also Actor–Critic using Kronecker-Factored Trust Region (ACKTR), Soft Actor–Critic (SAC), Twin Delayed DDPG (TD3), and Trust Region Policy Optimization (TRPO). Furthermore, we expanded the application domain of automated stock trading. Although the existing stock trading method treats only 30 Dow Jones stocks, ours handles KOSPI stocks, JPX stocks, and Dow Jones stocks. We conducted experiments with our modified automated stock trading system to validate its robustness in terms of cumulative return. Finally, we suggested some methods to gain relatively stable profits following the experiments.

This study aims to explore the deconstructive tendency of acting in the performances of Yusril's Under the Volcano works / director. The acting device of an actor also develops according to the situation of society and culture. Actors in postmodern culture no longer analyze the soul, or present patterns of human behavior as Stanislavsky suggested. The actor explores his mental state through the postmodern aesthetic idioms that tend to be artificial, a culture that worships form. In the Under the Volcano theater performance, the concretization process of actor work was born through Minangkabau traditional arts. The research methods used in this study are: Observation, documents, interviews and data analysis. The results of this study indicate that, in the concrete process of work in postmodern culture there are aesthetic idioms built through silek, dendang, poetry and poetry texts which are then implemented in the form of acting that emphasizes the use of gestural acting, prescribes verbality and tends to be acrobatic. Keywords: postmodern aesthetics, acting, Under the Volcano

This article presents the experimental results of analysis of efficiency of teaching methods aimed at formation of creative activity skills of future actors during training in studio theatre. In the course of the research, psychological and pedagogical theories of formation of creative activity skills were studied; on the basis of experiments, the efficiency of specially developed methods aimed at formation of creative activity skills was proved. These are the methods of development of imagination and thinking, actor abilities, expansion of emotional sphere, worldview and experience of actors in the area of perception of arts pieces, and scenic practice in working on role and stage performance. The authors have systematized the skills of theatrical performance and highlighted as the most meaningful the skills of artistry, scenic mastery, creation of new images or actions, application of various means of stage arts, preparation and performance of stage pieces of various genres, execution of professional functions of actor, director, scriptwriter. Practical value of the work is in obtaining of new scientific data as well as formulation of recommendations regarding the process of formation and development of creative activity skills of students during training in studio theatre.

Full textAbstract:
The agriculture and horticulture sector in the Netherlands is one of the most productive in the world. Although the sector is one of the most advanced and intense agricultural production systems worldwide, it faces challenges, such as climate change and environmental and social unsustainability of industrial production. To overcome these challenges, alternative food production initiatives have emerged, especially in large cities such as Amsterdam. Some initiatives involve producing food in the urban environment, supported by new technologies and practices, so-called high-tech urban agriculture (HTUA). These initiatives make cultivation of plants inside and on top of buildings possible and increase green spaces in urban areas. The emerging agricultural technologies are creating new business environments that are shape d by technology developers (e.g., suppliers of horticultural light emitting diodes (LED) and control environment systems) and developers of alternative food production practices (e.g., HTUA start-ups). However, research shows that the uptake of these technological innovations in urban planning processes is problematic. Therefore, this research analyzes the barriers that local government planners and HTUA developers are facing in the embedding of HTUA in urban planning processes, using the city of Amsterdam as a case study. This study draws on actor-network theory (ANT) to analyze the interactions between planners, technologies, technology developers and developers of alternative food production practices. Several concepts of ANT are integrated into a multi-level perspective on sustainability transitions (MLP) to create a new theoretical framework that can explain how interactions between technologies and planning actors transform the incumbent social–technical regime. The configuration of interactions between social and material entities in technology development and adoption processes in Amsterdam is analyzed through the lens of this theoretical framework. The data in this study were gathered by tracing actors and their connections by using ethnographic research methods. In the course of the integration of new technologies into urban planning practices, gaps between technologies, technology developers, and planning actors have been identified. The results of this study show a lacking connection between planning actors and technology developers, although planning actors do interact with developers of alternative food production practices. These interactions are influenced by agency of artefacts such as visualizations of the future projects. The paper concludes that for the utilization of emerging technologies for sustainability transition of cities, the existing gap between technology developers and planning actors needs to be bridged through the integration of technology development visions in urban agendas and planning processes.

The article starts with the theoretical definitions of various concepts (rural space, endogenous approach to the rural development, the actor operating in the particular locality for its development). Concerning the know-how of the rural/local actor, the information acquired also through extension service takes important position there. The methodological approach explains the use of sociological methods and techniques employed in research in two localities. This is continued by the analysis of the data gathered. The conclusions of the paper evaluate the knowledge from the group interviews and discuss the necessity of establishing an “institute” the task of which would be to provide and roof the extension service and the sufficient information level for the local, often rural actors. These actors then would use such information/extension service not only for a more efficient development of their localities, but also for a higher valorisation of their efforts in the “animation” of the rural localities.

Full textAbstract:
Background. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in studying the processes of the development of the creative personality of the drama actor, amongst other things, the modern methods of vocal training, focused on his future activity in nowadays-scenic conditions. Therefore, there is a need to renew the traditional system of the vocal training of drama actors in accordance with the trends of contemporary theatrical art, namely, the introduction of the principles of person-centered pedagogy. Objectives, methodology. The research is an attempt to provide an overview of the principles of person-centered pedagogy in the making of the creative personality of the singing actor. The purpose of the article is to characterize the system of vocal training of the dramatic theater actor and new “technologies” of education aimed at developing the personality of a singing actor, which are based on the principle of person-centered pedagogy. On based of interdisciplinary approach the following methods are used in this paper: empirical (observation, discussion, retrospective analysis of vocal-performing and pedagogical experience of the author) and theoretical (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization of theoretical and research data). The results of the study. The history of the development of vocal performing, acting and pedagogy shows that for many years the attempts carried out to determine the principles of vocal education of the actor of the drama theater, implement their testing, introduce into the system of training of acting skills for improvement the process of onstage singing. The contemporary study of this problem requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach, extensive contacts of art historians, musicologists, theater critics, vocalists, actors, and teachers. The constant development of theatrical art dictates new methods of educating the actor’s creative personality, including approaches to his vocal training, focused on his future activities on the modern stage. In the making of scenic image, an actor-singer needs to be constantly improved in a personal and professional way. The basis of continuous work on a vocal creative product is a worked out system of reflection regarding a person himself with all psycho-physiological features, and the image, which an actor creates onstage. The basis of the author’s developed program of the complex and personal development of the singing actor is the factor of individual diagnostics. The author of the article offers a method of individual diagnosis of the creative state of the singing actor in the educational process, by which this state can be divided into three psychological and pedagogical zones: the area of the mainstream development; the area of the highest potential development; the area of the nearest self-development. For these parameters and criteria, the author has developed a scheme of a diagnostic characteristic map for each actor’s student, which contains: ● analysis of the peculiarities of the actor’s psyche; ● descriptions of his voice and external data; ● information about language and vocal defects of sound; ● information on the shortcomings of the voice of the actor and ways to overcome them; ● repertoire list of works; ● analysis of the technical part of the actor’s vocal training at the beginning of training and at the end of it; ● analysis of performances on the drama scene. Thus, the introduction of a person-centered approach makes it possible to outline the optimal trajectory of the formation of the creative personality of a singing student-actor. On an optimal path to forming a creative personality of a singing actor student, the main task of the vocal teacher is to ensure his development, taking into account his psychological and physiological abilities, as well as updating of incentives for self-development and self-realization. To solve this problem, first, it is necessary to organize a psychologically rich “counter activity” of a student, taking care of updating and forming his internal personal motivation to developing. This kind of education focuses not so much on the amount of knowledge that is acquired, but on the feelings and experiences that are associated with them, the personal interests and features of the subject of the educational process. In contemporary theatrical and vocal pedagogy, there is a vicious regularity: on the one hand, all (both teachers and students-actors) know about the existence of the above-mentioned issue, discuss it, declare it, and on the other – because of imperfection elaboration of these issues, lack of research and others difficulties, it is simply not taken into account. The author has analyzed the apparatus necessary for the study of the category of the worldview and psychological aspects of education: the structure of the personality of the actor, his socio-biological patterns, needs, motivation, etc. Conclusions. The most important mean of the vocal up-bringing of an drama theater actor as a component of his professional development is a person-centered approach to a student. This approach involves two complementary moments: the true understanding by a teacher of the individuality of a singing actor, his personality traits and features; the presence of a student’s desire for self-development within his abilities to vocal stage activity. In the process of development of the creative person of a singing drama actor, the new technologies of education arise aimed at the vocal-scenic activity in a today theatre, which are based on the principle of person-centered pedagogy. In part, the study of the processes of reflection allowed us to develop the program for complex individual development of a student-actor. Within its framework, the author proposed a diagnostic characteristic map, revealing the features of the singing student-actor’s abilities.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryThis paper presents a structurationnist analysis model that aims to revise the classic industrial relations theories. The model, primarily based on the re-definition of the notion of actor in industrial relations (Bellemare, 2000), proposes to reconsider the frontiers of the industrial relations system (Bellemare and Briand, 2006; Legault and Bellemare, 2008), to replace the notion of “system” by the concept of “region,“ and to extend the model to the study of issues related to “life politics” (Giddens, 1991).The proposed model is illustrated by the study of the influence of users/patients on the work organization and on the decisions of the governing bodies of a French university hospital, and on the French health system (public policies, research priorities and methods, etc.).The results of the study show that the users/patients have become actors in the work relation regions through their mobilization on issues related to life politics: they have challenged the border between expert knowledge and common knowledge, and they have gained greater control over their health and the care they receive. Patients’ associations and individual patients, for their part, have modified the work relations regions at the organizational and worksite levels.Our results pave the way for future investigations that will integrate the dynamic conceptions of “actor” and of “regions of work relationships,“ as well as issues related to the life politics, in order to validate the generalizing scope of the model proposed.

We explored the characteristics of researchers and their collaboration patterns in bridging research grants at University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: the database of sponsored research grants from 2011 to 2018, obtained from an internal University database was transformed into a two-mode network of grant-to-investigator. Grants at 90th percentile and above of normalized two-mode betweenness centrality were defined as ‘bridging grants’. For each grant we extracted the gender, academic rank, academic degree, affiliating department, and centrality-status (being at 75th percentile of degree centrality in one-mode collaboration network) of the Principal Investigator (PI), as well as the number of co-investigators (CI) and the existence of central actor(s) in the research team. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Out of 2491 sponsored grants, 250 were ‘bridging grants’. The significant predictors of bridging were centrality of PI, existence of central CI(s), PI holding PhD, and larger number of CIs. The PI’s academic rank (being full professor) and gender were not significant predictors. Among bridging grants 79 included both central PI and CIs (central actors group) and 60 included no central actor on the team. In the latter group, more PIs were clinical faculty and fewer were full professors. Network analysis of affiliating departments showed that Medicine was the prominent actor in the central actors group, while the network of no-central actor group was more fragmented with Neurology as central. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Widely recognized researchers are more likely to collaborate with each other in bridging studies possibly marginalizing less experienced peers. Bridging grants led by less central researchers, often clinician-scientists, may thrive where supportive culture and departmental facilities exist.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes a state-of-the-art methodology for the analysis of stakeholders and their role and performance related to SMEs in the mining industry in the Chilean region of Coquimbo. The relationships between the actors are studied and prioritized according to their support network position. An individual index for each actor based on their influence on solving problems is provided. The social network analysis was used to know the influence of the actors in the sector through the centrality measures. Furthermore, a methodology to measure stakeholders’ influence based on the multicriteria method analytic network process approach is proposed. Both methods are used to identify the main stakeholders, study their relationships, and identify the most influential actors involved in executing strategies to boost the sector performance. The results show that the network remains cohesive thanks to certain actors, while the links between private actors must be strengthened; likewise, some public actors should assume a more proactive role in dealing with the problems of the sector.

The purpose of the article is to explore the historical aspects of monologue stage speech as the most difficult type of psychophysical action of the actor. The research methodology involves the use of an integrated approach with the use of analytical, systematic methods, comparative, which allows to distinguish the features of monologue stage speech in the work of the actor. The scientific novelty of the work is to deepen the study of individual acting in the context of the development of monologue speech and analysis of historical aspects of its formation and development in acting. Conclusions. It is emphasized that the masterful performance of monologues from a classical or modern play is a manifestation of the professional creative growth of the actor. Historical digression and research of methods of work on the monologue is an extremely important and useful source of obtaining the right techniques, principles, skills, a way to acquire professional knowledge of monologue stage speech. Text notes of extended monologue speech (if such are sometimes permissible) should be made carefully, carefully, together with the director-producer. It is noted that to master verbal action, its expressive possibilities is the main task, which is always faced by actors and directors of professional and amateur theaters.

In recent years, simulation has been actively used to study socio-economic processes in order to test various management decisions (for analyzing risks, projects, regional processes, logistics, etc.). Today, three simulation systems (Actor Pilgrim, AnyLogic, GPSS World), each of which has its own areas of application, are the most widespread in Russia. So, the system Actor Pilgrim is most suitable for modeling socio- economic processes. The first version of this system was developed by a group led by Professor Alexander Anatolyevich Yemelyanov more than 35 years ago to solve experimental problems in the direction of "Flexible automated production". It was based on a new modeling paradigm, which was built on the actor-network theory. The transition to solving new problems, primarily in the economics, led to the need for its further system development through the implementation of temporal, financial and spatial dynamics. Currently, the system development is carried out through the construction of hybrid simulation models, which is associated with the introduction of various analysis methods. So, when modeling actual technical and economic processes (for example, import substitution of high- tech products), it is proposed to use artificial intelligence methods that allow you to get informed decisions in conditions of information uncertainty. Models that include fuzzy logic methods and swarm algorithms (in particular, bacterial optimization) have shown good results. For example, fuzzy logic methods have been used to assign "fair" priorities to option projects through a detailed analysis of the factors of the internal and external environment of enterprises that will implement them. Bacterial optimization algorithms have been used to search for "promising" areas for the implementation of the projects of import substitution of high-tech products. These swarm algorithms are distinguished by the ability to simultaneously study favorable and negative factors, i. e. allow taking into account various risk situations. The modern version of Actor Pilgrim is intended for systems analysts, economists-mathematicians and other professionals who are familiar with programming, but are not professional programmers.

Abstract Purpose: Stroke is a medical condition cause of suffering for both patients and their caregivers within the family. This paper aimed to assess the influence of the psychological construct of hope and active coping on hedonic wellbeing in patient with stroke and caregiver dyads by determining the dyadic patterns. Methods: A baseline study including 200 stroke-survivor (Age 73.63; SD=7.22) and caregiver (62.49; SD=14.44) dyads with actor–partner interdependence model (APIM) estimated by structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood estimation. Herth Hope Index (HHI), Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI) and Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) were used to measure hope, proactive coping and wellbeing, respectively. Results: The APIM analysis revealed that both stroke patients and caregivers demonstrated double actor-only pattern. As such, stroke-survivors’ hope and active coping excreted an actor effect on their own wellbeing with beta = 0.48 (p < 0.01) and 0.16 (p < 0.01), respectively. Similarly, the caregiver also reported an actor effect between hope and wellbeing (beta = 0.84, p < 0.01) as well as active coping with wellbeing (beta = 0.37, p < 0.01). The overall SEM model also fulfilled the criteria for good model fit (χ2 (5.87), p = > 0.05, CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.96 and RMSEA = 0.07). Conclusions: The results suggest that both stroke patients and caregivers’ hedonic wellbeing are holding actor-oriented pattern with the hope and active coping. The implications for clinical practitioners, research and theoretical development are discussed.

The research location is in Bungin Village, Pantai Bakti Village, where the issue is related to the conditions of coastal areas and brings up the program initiation. The research method was carried out with qualitative methods through in-depth interviews and participant observant. This thesis shows that in responding to the initiating improvements program in coastal areas, coastal communities are often faced with the social dynamics of the community itself. The response gap of the actors is influenced by social relations namely, 1) relations based on patron-client, 2) relations based on blood relations, and 3) relations based on emotional relationships, and two economic motives, namely 1) economic motives based on personal gain, and 2) economic motives which are based on basic needs. This thesis also enriches the study of the response of the fishing community through the approach of actor and network analysis. This approach is more relevant in looking at the response to the initiation of improving coastal areas through forms of actions, relationships, roles and motives of actors who are part of coastal communities.

Abstract. Planning and operations in urban spaces are strongly affected by human mobility behavior. A better understanding of individual mobility is key to improve transportation systems and to guide the allocation of public space. Previous studies have discovered statistical laws of travel distances, but the topology of movement between places has received little attention. We propose to employ network modelling methods to analyze the effect of spatial and context attributes on individual movement patterns. The perspective of mobility as a network allows to explicitly regard dyadic dependencies of sequential location visits. Here, we consider two methods developed for social networks and provide a formulation of mobility networks to justify their applicability. First, we use the Multiple Regression Quadratic Assignment Procedure to test hypotheses on the influence of location attributes on mobility behavior. Secondly, Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models are applied to model the evolution of mobility networks over time. As a proof-of-concept study, we transform data from one GNSS-based and one check-in based dataset into mobility networks and present results from both methods. We find relations that appear for a majority of samples and thus seem inherent to mobility networks. The differences between individuals and the available datasets are further quantified and discussed. We conclude that the transfer of network modeling methods is an interesting opportunity to study network-related phenomena in geographic information science.

Full textAbstract:
An electric road system (ERS) is a transportation solution that provides electricity for fully electric vehicles while in motion. This solution might contribute to sustainable transportation by overcoming range anxiety problems that fully electric vehicles, especially heavy vehicles, have encountered due to battery technology limitations. However, large-scale ERS implementations are challenging, both technically and socially. An ERS is not only an engineering project, but also a complex technology innovation system composed of multiple subsystems and stakeholders, which requires an interdisciplinary means of aligning relations, problems, and solutions. In the policy analysis domain, researchers have developed actor analysis methods to support policy making processes. Actor analysis methods can provide an analytical reflection in solving complex multi-actor policy making challenges that ERSs are also facing. To uncover the complexity of multiple subsystems and stakeholders involved in an ERS, this paper applied a method to align system characteristics with the stakeholders’ perceptions to understand multi-stakeholder contexts in complex technology innovation projects. Desk research was first conducted to summarise ERS characteristics. Then, the dynamic actor network analysis method framework was adopted to establish an action, factor, goal (AFG) list, which was revised by independent researchers. Next, the AFG list was used to collect the perceptions of the ERS stakeholders, expressed as AFG selections and causal links through stakeholder interviews. The resulting AFG list was iterated through two rounds of interviews and then validated in a Swedish ERS case workshop. The results from this methodology showed that the actor analysis method can not only be applied to policy analysis domains, but can also be applied to technology innovation complex systems, using the electric road system as a case study, to help uncover the ERS complexity from the concerns of stakeholders and to secure a pathway towards sustainable technology implementation.

If the world is a stage and life is a collection of scenes, there may be a great set of discoveries to make if a researcher thinks of society like an actor. The art of analysis and human understanding may too often be under the influence of scientific approaches to method. By applying methods of theater to that of qualitative research, we explore a set of concepts to identify the interplay between the interviewer as character and researcher as actor. Furthermore, we offer practical applications of theatrical methods to qualitative research to enhance self-awareness, understanding, and discovery that all work in tandem to enhance the art of qualitative research.

Full textAbstract:
Strong social connections between communities and institutions are essential to effective community-based natural resource management. Connectivity and willingness to engage with actors across scales are related to one’s perceptions of institutions managing natural resources. To better understand how individuals’ perceptions are related to connections between communities and institutions, and how these promote or inhibit interaction across scales, we carried out a mixed methods case study on the multiple actors living and working in the Namib Naukluft National Park in Namibia. We took a descriptive approach to the social network analysis and identified distinct subgroups as well as boundary actors for the community-institutional network. Thereafter, we regressed interview data on connections, perceptions, and willingness to reach out to institutions to understand more about network dynamics. Finally, we performed a qualitative analysis of interview data, to further highlight why community individuals were connected to institutional members. Positive perceptions are associated with greater connectivity for two out of three institutions. Better quality connections between community members and institutions was equated with a greater willingness (of community members) to reach out to an institutional member in only one out of three cases. As in other studies, willingness to reach out may be more strongly correlated to intergroup actor dynamics, as shown by subgrouping in the social network analysis, than one’s perceptions alone. This research highlights that direct interactions between community members and local institutions has the potential to support collaboration in the context of community-based natural resource management.

Full textAbstract:
Health workforce planning aims to meet a health system’s needs with a sustainable and fit-for-purpose workforce, although its efficacy is reduced in conditions of uncertainty. This PhD breakthrough article offers foresight as a means of addressing this uncertainty and models its complementarity in the context of the health workforce planning problem. The article summarises the findings of a two-case multi-phase mixed method study that incorporates actor analysis, scenario development and policy Delphi. This reveals a few dominant actors of considerable influence who are in conflict over a few critical workforce issues. Using these to augment normative scenarios, developed from existing clinically developed model of care visions, a number of exploratory alternative descriptions of future workforce situations are produced for each case. Their analysis reveals that these scenarios are a reasonable facsimile of plausible futures, though some are favoured over others. Policy directions to support these favoured aspects can also be identified. This novel approach offers workforce planners and policy makers some guidance on the use of complimentary data, methods to overcome the limitations of conventional workforce forecasting and a framework for exploring the complexities and ambiguities of a health workforce’s evolution.

Full textAbstract:
Although voice work presents itself as a neutral set of tools that can help actors in performing a text, an analysis of the cultural biases behind voice training reveals that both the underlying ideology and the methods of reading and acting it produces limit the possibilities for feminist performances of Shakespeare. By naturalizing the language and rhythms of the text, by focusing attention on the characters' need for the words as opposed to the dramatist's, voice training denies actors ways of questioning the politics of the playscripts. Sarah Werner has just received her PhD in English from the University of Pennsylvania for her dissertation entitled ‘Acting Shakespeare's Women: Toward a Feminist Methodology’. She has presented papers at a number of conferences, including the Shakespeare Association of America and the International Conference on Medieval Studies, and is currently a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania.

Full textAbstract:
Background. One of the most important questions in the acting profession is how to educate the psychophysical apparatus of the actor, what it consists of, what exercises will be useful and will be able to develop the necessary psychophysical qualities. Therefore, the theatrical teachers often turn to the sciences, which study the human, to be able to rely not only on the personal experience and on theoretical works of famous theatrical figures. Therefore, K. Stanislavsky creating theory of art turned to experimental psychology, the theory of conditioned reflexes by I. Pavlov. K. Stanislavsky sought to substantiate scientifically his system, to analyze creativity based on “brain physiology”, to study objectively higher nervous (mental) activity. One of the basic elements of the actor’s psychophysics is imagination, which remains by far one of the least studied. Moreover, the first studies of the “imagination” in such science as neuroscience began only in the second half of the XX century. Today, it is important to pay attention to the discoveries that take place in the related sciences in order to be able to understand deeper how a particular exercise affects the psychophysics of a future actor. There is a small amount of contemporary work devoted to the theoretical substantiation of the development of the psychophysical qualities of the actor. Among them the writings by famous theater educators Uta Hagen (“Play as Life”) and Ivana Chubbuk (“Chubbuk’s Actor Technique”) are, which consider the concept “imagination” in relation to other elements of actor psychotechnics, as one of the tools and ways of creating the role. The American actor and a teacher Gavin Levy has created an interesting book “275 Acting Games: Connected” presenting various exercises connected with developing of imagination. Professor of Acting at the University of California Bella Merlin in her work “Acting: Theory and Practice” proposes to develop imagination through a variety of games and improvisation also. Attempts to comprehensive study of actor training, the impact of exercise on the imagination and psychophysics of the actor as a whole are described in the works of M. Alexandrovskaya, S. Gippius, N. Rozhdestvenskaya, V. Petrov, and L. Gracheva, whose experimental results was used in this study, The objective of this paper is to consider the concept of “imagination” in the complex and interaction with other elements of actor psychophysics, using the latest scientific discoveries about human. A complex methodology was used in the work: analysis and synthesis methods that allow to explore a category such as “imagination”, separately and in conjunction with the elements of actor psychophysics; methods of systematization and generalization – to determine the key theoretical provisions of the study in the context of understanding the pedagogical experience of modern domestic and foreign theater schools; method of historical and cultural analysis – in the course of consideration of works on the theory of theater. Results. The concept of “imagination” in acting training is used quite often, but there is no specific answer to the question – whether imagination trains or not. Professor of Russian State Institute of Performing Arts Larissa Gracheva conducted an experiment to help answer this question. Students were asked to recall and relive in their imagination the acute emotional situation that was in the life of each participant in the experiment. A total of 30 student actors and 20 economics and theater students were involved. This experiment affirms the influence of special acting exercises on developing the imagination, because 95 % of participant-actors demonstrated body physical reactions. This concept is considered the paper in conjunction with other elements of actor psychotechnics, such as “visions” (after K. Stanislavskiy), affective and emotional memory, reaching truthful expressiveness on stage and muscular freedom. The chain of interaction between these elements is proposed and their interdependence is justified. The experiment answered the question of how imagination is dependent on “visions” and affective memory, what kind of exercises the future actors can train their imagination. Links has been established between imagination and muscular freedom. Recent discoveries of neuroscience have been used to answer the question of what is going on with the brain, when human being imagines something. Overall, the paper summarizes the current state of knowledge of the selected topic by discussing the findings presented in recent research papers that create an understanding of the theme for the reader. Conclusions. Training of “awakening the imagination” is a complex psychophysical process that can be developed only in combination with other elements of actor psychotechnics. Such complex approach will allow the actor to shape a completely harmonious personality. Imagination is based on visions that form and emerge from each person’s long-term memory. For each actor, these internal images will be unique. This proves that the use of imagination (substitution effect and affective memory) is quite personal and unique process. This approach causes an impression of truth of drama action and induces a strong emotional response. In turn, emotional reaction is first a muscular reaction of the body. Therefore, in acting training it is important to make exercises so as to harmoniously develop the psyche and physics of the actor using in plastic exercises imagination and vice versa, the physics reactions for the developing of imagery thinking.

This study investigated the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government’s role as a regional actor in international affairs. Regional governments can develop the region and affect the regional economy thanks to paradiplomacy, one of the phenomena in international relations that seeks to involve international relations actors. This research was grounded in the paradiplomacy theory proposed by Pertti Joenniemi and Alexander Sergunin. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, aiming to provide a general overview of the subject of study by using data collected in their raw form without applying any analysis and drawing any pertinent conclusions. Primary data were collected from the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government. In contrast, secondary data came from the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government’s official website and news articles discussing the research subject. Following the findings, the Government of Musi Banyuasin Regency fulfilled its role as an international relations actor by implementing paradiplomatic methods such as promoting a positive image of the region through participation in international forums, joining international organizations, and collaborating with them.

Illegal logging is a part of crime against environment, which has a massive impact on the economy, social, cultural, and ecological. Ironically, majority of the illegal logging’s perpetrators are dominated by “the field criminal”. On the other side, intellectual actors who can control the activities never touch by the law. The money laundering concept can give a new approach to detect the leader actor. The author use follow the money viewpoint, which includes placement, layering, and integration. Qualitative data collection methods is used with in-depth interviews, systematic observation of the behavior, and document analysis. The result is a new paradigm in investigating illegal logging no longer focused on the field actors, but potentially tracking the intellectual actors behind illegal logging.

Dataflow modeling offers a myriad of tools to improve optimization and analysis of signal processing applications, and is often used by designers to help design, implement, and maintain systems on chip for signal processing. However, maintaining and upgrading legacy systems that were not originally designed using dataflow methods can be challenging. Designers often convert legacy code to dataflow graphs by hand, a process that can be difficult and time consuming. In this paper, the authors developed a method to facilitate this conversion process by automatically detecting the dataflow models of the core functions from bodies of legacy code. They focus first on detecting static dataflow models, such as homogeneous and synchronous dataflow, and then present an extension that can also detect dynamic dataflow models. Building on the authors’ algorithms for dataflow model detection, they present an iterative actor partitioning process that can be used to partition complex actors into simpler sub-functions that are more prone to analysis techniques.

Abstract The contemporary dynamics of performing arts has determined us to plead for the re/evaluation of the statute of the puppet as actor, as well as the puppeteer‟s. The present study might also be seen as a journey from and towards the theatre principles established by Kleist, Craig or Obraztov; a lesson about the poetry of technique and poeticized technique. The analysis of the double dimension of characters in animation theatre - the plastic and the interpretative sides - but also of the role of the relation between puppet and puppeteer has determined us to prove the necessity of using methods that are centered on interdisciplinary and comparative studies.

The article systematizes and analyzes the existing experience of organizing the creative process in a robotic theater. The author explores the robotic theater phenomenon, the artificial intelligence technology possibilities to function in the stage space. The article provides a comparative analysis of human and mechanized interaction in the stage space. The methodological basis of the research is a combination of several methods: analytical – for accounting for historical and fictional literature; theoretical and conceptual method – for analyzing the conceptual and terminological system of research and identifying the specifics of introducing the artificial intelligence technology in creative process; comparative-typological – to compare the peculiarities of the functioning of mechanized “actors” with the acting skills of human performers. The article explores the threat perception and uncanny valley concepts to study the perception of a robot–actor by an audience. The author examines the process of human interaction with a robotic body: from the moment of interest, interaction to the moment of rejection of the robot by a person (audience).

In the face of pressing environmental challenges, governments must pledge to achieve sustainability transitions within an accelerated timeline, faster than leaving these transitions to the market mechanisms alone. This had led to an emergent approach within the sustainability transition research (STR): Accelerated policy-driven sustainability transitions (APDST). Literature on APDST asserts its significance in addressing pressing environmental and development challenges as regime actors like policymakers enact change. It also assumes support from other incumbent regime actors like the industries and businesses. In this study, we identify the reasons for which incumbent industry and business actors might support APDST and whether their support can suffice for implementation. We examine the actor strategies by drawing empirical data from the Indian national government policy of mandatory leapfrog in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle emission control norms, known as Bharat Stage 4 to 6. This leapfrogging policy was introduced to speed up the reduction of air pollutants produced by the transport sector. A mixed-methods approach, combining multimodal discourse analysis and netnographic research, was deployed for data collection and analysis. The findings show that unlike the status quo assumption in STR, many incumbent industry and business actors aligned with the direction of the enacted policy due to the political landscape and expected gains. However, the degree of support varied throughout the transition timeline and was influenced by challenges during the transitioning process and the response of the government actors. The case suggests we pay more attention to the actors’ changing capacities and needs and consider internal and external influences in adapting the transition timelines. This study contributes to the ongoing discussion on the implementation of APDST, by examining the dynamism of actor strategies, and provides an overview of sustainability transitions in emerging economies.

Purpose In 2014, Paul Gill et al. introduced a study of 119 lone-actor terrorism cases, and found that lone-actor extremists could be more accurately identified by their behavioural characteristics and activities, rather than their extremist ideologies. The study was said to have significant impact on intelligence analysis in the field of counterterrorism. The purpose of this paper is to apply Gill et al.’s findings to financial intelligence investigations, to assist investigators with the detection and prevention of lone-actor terrorist financing. Design/methodology/approach This article provides an overview of the key findings provided by Gill et al. It then discusses the indicators of lone-actor terrorism in the context of financial intelligence investigations, and sets out methods to improve financial intelligence investigations to better identify and stop lone-actor terrorism in the future. Findings By applying traditional financial intelligence techniques, which focus on assessing an individual’s activity and behaviour, with open-source intelligence gathering, financial intelligence investigators will be better equipped to identify lone-actor terrorism and its financing moving forward. Originality/value This article will be of value to investigators specializing in terrorism and financial crime, as it will assist them in the identification of a proliferating security threat, the lone-actor terrorist. While the article relies on the findings provided by Gill et al., it takes a new approach by applying those findings specifically to the financial intelligence sector, to improve investigations related to terrorism.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Publication and promotion of the profession as a sports actor has not been seen optimally. One that shows this is that it is difficult to find traces of the legality of the profession, its achievements, and its relationships. Some of these traces are very important to know because they can be a measure of the quality of services so that the public can determine the appropriate sports players to meet the needs of services in the field of sports. For this reason, it is necessary to develop an online system that makes it easier for the public to obtain information related to sports actors. As well as helping sports actors for the publication and promotion of their profession. Objectives: The purpose of the research is to develop a Sport Human Connection (SHC) system that can help sports players for publication and promotion of their profession. Methods: This research method uses research and development methods. The research subjects were sports actors (coaches, athletes, management of sports institutions, masseurs, and physiotherapists) as many as 60 people. The selection of research subjects was done randomly. The data collection technique was carried out by conducting a survey. The research instrument used closed and open questionnaires. The data analysis technique used is descriptive quantitative data analysis and narrative analysis. Results: From the data obtained from the research subjects, it can be said that the SHC system has benefits for the publication and promotion of the profession of sports players with the support of features that display professional legality, achievements, relations, and communication features. Conclusion: Looking at the results of the study, it can be concluded that the SHC system provides the benefits of publication and promotion of the profession of sports players.

Introduction. The need to develop and test a complex of psychological-pedagogical tools for the development of an innovation actor is due to the priorities of the national policy in the field of education, as well as the requirements for the teacher’s competencies in innovation, enshrined in the Professional Standard “Teacher”. Research purpose: the testing of a set of psychological-pedagogical tools for the development of an innovation actor, corresponding to the eco-psychological actor formation model. Materials and methods: during the 2017/2019 academic years, 78 students from schools in the city of Vladimir (Russian Federation) took part in the experimental verification of the eco-psychological model of innovation-pedagogical actor development. On diagnostic sections in the process of tools testing, the following methods were used: a method of determining the degree of manifestation of the organizational-educational models by V.A. Yasvin’s school, A.V. Kaptsov’s method to determine the degree of subjectivity manifestation at each stage of the eco-psychological model, a questionnaire “Personal Characteristics of a Professional” by I.G. Senin and V.E. Oryol, a test “Tolerance to Uncertainty” by D.А. Leontyev, a questionnaire “Creativity” by N.F. Vishnyakova. Research results. The set of psychological-pedagogical tools includes events (workshops, trainings, round tables) aimed at the formation of pedagogical subjectivity in accordance with the staging of the eco-psychological model (from an actor of perceptual activity to an actor of creative self-expression) and the organizational-modular organization of the educational space. The presented results reflect the positive dynamics of manifestation of subjectivity stages: “Master” (p<0.05), “Creator” (p<0.01) in the experimental sample, as well as a change in the manifestation of the innovation-modular organizational-educational model of the experimental school (U(26.40)=336.0, p=0.016). Differences (p<0.05) were found in favor of the experimental school in terms of parameters characterizing creative thinking, open-mindedness, tolerance to uncertainty. It is shown that the eco-psychological model of innovation-pedagogical actor development is effective in the experimental school environment and allows for a systematic analysis of the current state and readiness of an educational organization for innovative changes. The developed set of psychological-pedagogical tools is the basis for the subsequent development of a system of scientific-methodological support of a school team as an innovation-pedagogical group actor.

Full textAbstract:
Safe exploration is regarded as a key priority area for reinforcement learning research. With separate reward and safety signals, it is natural to cast it as constrained reinforcement learning, where expected long-term costs of policies are constrained. However, it can be hazardous to set constraints on the expected safety signal without considering the tail of the distribution. For instance, in safety-critical domains, worst-case analysis is required to avoid disastrous results. We present a novel reinforcement learning algorithm called Worst-Case Soft Actor Critic, which extends the Soft Actor Critic algorithm with a safety critic to achieve risk control. More specifically, a certain level of conditional Value-at-Risk from the distribution is regarded as a safety measure to judge the constraint satisfaction, which guides the change of adaptive safety weights to achieve a trade-off between reward and safety. As a result, we can optimize policies under the premise that their worst-case performance satisfies the constraints. The empirical analysis shows that our algorithm attains better risk control compared to expectation-based methods.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore why, despite the development of a hybrid investing logic, funding problems are so persistent for early-stage Cleantech ventures (“Cleantechs”). An institutional logics lens is adopted to analyze how key actors' perceptions and communications of the Cleantech value proposition shape information asymmetries (IAs).Design/methodology/approachA mixed methods approach draws on 82 Cleantech pitch decks and 31 investment guidance documents, and insights from interviews with 42 key informants and nine Cleantech CEOs and their investors.FindingsIAs persist, first of all, because key investor and entrepreneurial actors combine different goals in the hybrid Cleantech value proposition. Interestingly, the analysis of Environmental Performance Indicators (EPIs) as a critical communication tool reveals a further mismatch in how actors actually combine logics. The authors ultimately identify three emergent actor roles – traditional laggard, developer and boundary spanner – that present a framework of how the three most influential actor groups develop EPIs and via that a hybrid Cleantech financing logic to overcome IAs.Originality/valueThe paper enhances the entrepreneurial finance literature primarily by showing that in contexts of hybrid investing a more nuanced understanding of institutional logics in terms of ends and means is critical to overcome IAs. While prior works highlight goal incompatibilities, the findings here suggest that the (in-)compatibility of goals as well as EPI choices of the same actors is likely to be the key explanandum for the stickiness of IAs and the funding gap. The novel emerging role framework offers additional theoretical, policy and practical advances for hybrid logic development.

The COVID-19 pandemic situation, leadership succession, and changes in the RPJMD certainly provide challenges and opportunities for local governments to maintain the existence and sustainability of economic growth. Short-term solutions are needed to help leading sectors continue to have an impact on economic growth. Identification and specific strategies in determining leading sectors are essential in a pandemic condition where the economic situation is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to determine the sector that has the potential to be a leading, competitive, and fast-growing sector in regional development in Banjar Regency during and after the Covid 19 pandemic. This study used research methods and designs starting from the Quantitative-Qualitative Research Methods. Based on the study results, the determination of the leading sector based on the calculation ranking of LQ, Shift Share, and I - O uses slices and sees the most considerable contribution to GRDP and the workforce absorbed in that sector. 3 The main sectors that excel are Wholesale and Retail Trade, Repair of Cars and Motorcycles; Provision of Accommodation and Food and Drink; Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Based on the results of the AHP analysis of the respondents, it shows that the priority policy criteria are prioritized on the development of the leading economic sector in Banjar Regency, with the priority being infrastructure development, the second being institutional improvement, while the investment aspect is the third priority. The aspect of market expansion becomes the fourth priority, and the fifth and sixth priorities are the development of Special Economic Zones and aspects of sustainability. Meanwhile, the farmer or the community, the actor or party that has the most crucial role in developing the leading sector in Banjar Regency based on the respondent's choice. The Government is considered the second most crucial actor in implementing leading sector activities due to the lack of basic facilities supporting economic and trade activities. Furthermore, Social Organizations and Private Parties or Investors as other important actors in developing leading sectors in Banjar Regency

This article reveals the basic techniques and approaches formed at the dawn of two important and relevant vector of interaction between theater and cultural anthropology in modern theater art, anthropological theater and theatrical anthropology. The goal of this research lies in the analysis of basic techniques and terms that emerged at the early stages of establishment of practical and theoretical approaches towards studying the ritual and theatrical forms. P. Brook's expeditions raised the question of the key elements of theatrical art. For achieving the result, the English the director and screenwriter used bodily techniques and work with space and objects existing in ritual forms. E.Barba, while working in Amazon jungle, resorted to the tactics of participant observer B. Malinowski. The technique of cultural exchange, which appeared in 1970s, is used by K. Kazimierzczuk and modern Polish anthropological theater. The methods of cultural anthropology underlies the formation and development of new ways of interaction and communication between the actors and audience. The experimental works of Peter Brook and Eugenio Barba of the 1970s are analyzed from the perspective of using the methods of cultural anthropology by stage directors. Anthropological theater and theatrical anthropology reveal to modern practitioners and theorists of theatrical art a wide variety of unique methods of work with corporeal nature of the actor, and become the foothold for the development of new relations between the actor-performer and viewer-copartner in performative practices and multicultural phenomena.

Full textAbstract:
Recent events such as the terrorist attack in Algeria (January 2013), the Boston Marathon Bombing (April 2013), the apprehension of two suspected al-Qaeda linked terrorists in Toronto, (April 2013), highlight the requirement for greater understanding regarding the radicalization and recruitment of terrorists. As detailed in the US Department of State Report (2011), over 10,000 terrorist attacks occurred in 2011, affecting nearly 45,000 victims in 70 countries and resulting in over 12,500 deaths. With a focus on the outcomes and results of terrorist activities, terrorism itself often becomes a ‘blackbox' concept that does not capture the essence of the radicalization process nor the mechanisms of recruitment. This conceptual paper introduces Actor Network Theory (ANT) as a systems lens to open the ‘blackbox' of terrorism. This systems lens ‘…is a discipline for seeing wholes. It is a framework for seeing interrelationships rather than things, for seeing patterns of change rather than static snapshots' (Senge, 1990:68). The systems view facilitated by ANT is supported and informed by methods of network analysis and conceptual modelling that highlight how dynamic networked actors shape the radicalization process through the actor network process of translation.
