Abstract:
Research on parliamentary representation has traditionally assumed that political parties take clear and differentiated policy positions, but recent studies suggest that parties sometimes have an electoral incentive to present voters with a distribution of positions to select from at the ballot box. This article explores whether parliamentary parties pursue such a strategy through candidate position taking using unique elite and mass survey data from Denmark. The results illustrate that parties are highly unified on issues that are salient to their electoral brand, but that they develop a distribution of positions that is related to voter preferences at the district level on less salient issues. These findings have important implications for the way that representation works in parliamentary democracies.

Abstract:
When counseling clients who are gifted, counselors may adopt one of two positions. Some counselors may decide that counseling that is effective with other clients will suffice for counseling gifted persons. Alternatively, counselors may reflect the view that their counseling of gifted clients should reflect their differentiating characteristics. This article provides elements of a model of counseling gifted persons that reflects the latter position.

Abstract:
This conversation-analytic paper investigates the multimodal design and interactional functions of the connective et puis après (‘and then after that’) in a French-language corpus of video-recorded collaborative storytellings. Two similar, yet different, sequential positions are investigated: the juncture between subsequent story episodes and the space between extended side sequences and the return to the story-in-progress. Such juncture positions constitute recognizable moments at which both members of the telling party, i. e., the current teller and the co-teller, must determine the topic of the next story episode as well as its delivery. Thus, juncture positions provide a perspicuous setting for the analysis of how tellership is negotiated and how topic progression is achieved. The connective et puis après appears to be a resource for current tellers to establish spaces for coparticipation at juncture positions, closing prior talk and projecting continuation. The multimodal analysis shows that both its prosodic design and co-occurring changes of the embodied participation framework contribute to opening interactive turn spaces and to making telling-specific next actions relevant.

Abstract:
This article examines how national parties and their members position themselves in European Parliament (EP) debates, estimating the principal latent dimension of spoken conflict using word counts from legislative speeches. We then examine whether the estimated ideal points reflect partisan conflict on a left–right, European integration or national politics dimension. Using independent measures of national party positions on these three dimensions, we find that the corpus of EP speeches reflects partisan divisions over EU integration and national divisions rather than left–right politics. These results are robust to both the choice of language used to scale the speeches and to a range of statistical models that account for measurement error of the independent variables and the hierarchical structure of the data.

Abstract:
While Merleau-Ponty’s political positions evolved over the course of his career, they are grounded in and guided by a remarkably consistent account of historicity. Praxis requires authentic historical engagement; and Merleau-Ponty was critical of inauthentic a-historical approaches throughout his career. I chart a trajectory of Merleau-Ponty’s position from The War Has Taken Place (1945), through some of the newly published material from the mid to late 1940’s Michel Dalissier’s monumental two volume collection of inédits, and the Introduction to Signs (1960). This results in two surprising and admittedly controversial observations that contradict dominant narratives. I argue that: (1) Merleau-Ponty’s account of historicity precludes the claim that he abandoned Marxism altogether with the writing of Adventures of the Dialectic (1955); and (2) Merleau-Ponty’s account of historicity reveals the dominant Western narrative about the war in Ukraine to be inauthentic.

Abstract:
Running a restaurant as a course in university implies several complicated conditions, some of these conditions include teamwork and students agreeing with each other, and this tends to become problematic when students take positions in the educational restaurant. This thesis aims to clarify such positions by using Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, field and cultural capital. It further aims to illustrate how the interplay between past and present causes practices in the context of an educational restaurant. The methodology used to investigate interactions during restaurant services was participant observation – and to elucidate the students’ backgrounds, qualitative interviews were conducted. The collected material was analyzed by using thematic analysis and the results suggest that these positions induce control, fragmentation and subordination. These characteristics in turn tend to occur because of habitus, which differs from student to student because of their differing social backgrounds.

Abstract:
This thesis concerns processes of power relations in and about the science classroom. It draws on action research involving science and mathematics teachers in the Swedish upper secondary school (for students between 16 and 19 years). For the analysis, feminist post-structuralism, gender, and discourse theories (e.g. Butler and Foucault) are combined with critical action research methodology (e.g. Carr and Kemmis) and discourse analysis (e.g. Wetherell and Hall). The aim of the study is to make visible processes of inequality and to investigate how these are constructed in ‘talk’ or discourse about teaching and learning. The study grew out of teachers’ actions/small-scale projects in their own classrooms and so the study also investigates if and how action research can contribute to making visible, challenging and changing unequal practices and discourses of dominance. The first part of the thesis deals with this process and the analysis suggests that post-structural critiques of language and discourse are helpful in enabling actions to challenge inequities in the science classroom that currently exist. Five different articles constitute the second part of the thesis, two of which explore and survey research literature and argue for a need for more studies which investigate critically how science is shaped by specific social, cultural and historical contexts. Additionally, it is argued that it is important to focus not only on measuring differences among students but also on investigating how difference is constructed and how inequities can be challenged. The experiences and bodily feelings of what ‘race’ can do to gender (and vice versa) in a specific situation are recounted and examined in the third article which also invites different positions and complexity into the research field. The next two articles investigate how power and knowledge are produced, resisted and challenged in teacher and student talk within the action research project. The analysis draws on different discourses in contemporary Swedish society; for example a science discourse which produces school science (and its teachers and students) as high status, a gender equality discourse, a gender difference discourse, and an immigrant discourse which produces ‘immigrant students’ as problematic. Analysis of teacher talk reveals, for example, that long-established hierarchies and taken-for-granted values of school subjects in relation to gender reproduce advantage for some teachers but not for others, that teachers participate in the gendering of science subjects, and that changes in the teaching of science are resisted. Also students are located inside and outside the discourses they draw on, which qualifies or disqualifies them as ‘proper’ science students. Different borders are highlighted to show how students attach meaning to gender, social class, and ethnicity in different situations. Sometimes borders are produced inside bodies (the notion of the gendered brain, for example) and sometimes between cultures or according to family background. Resistance to dominant discourses is also visible in students’ talk and the ways in which teachers and students reproduce borders and exclusion in the science classroom through their practices. The analysis points out the need to initiate new research which can deconstruct among others, discourses of femininity and masculinity, the ‘immigrant student’ and school science.

Senturk, Suleyman. "Moving Away from The West or Taking Independent Positions: A Structural Analysis for The New Turkish Foreign Policy." Scholar Commons, 2019. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/7934.
Abstract:
This paper focuses on understanding and explaining the change of Turkish foreign policy,particularly in the last decade. Many observers have expressed a suspicion that Turkey is abandoning its Western-centric alignment and gradually shifting its axis. The thesis argues that rather than a shift, Turkey is taking an independent position. It maintains that the end of the Cold War and the change in the international structure from bipolarity to unipolarity has provided incentives for countries with some degree of material capabilities to pursue independence from the U.S. policy preferences. This study analyses structural effects on the behavior of Turkey.
Later it associates the observed change in Turkey’s foreign policy as the outcomes of taking an independent position to maximize its objectives. Finally, it presents empirical research to prove the argument.

Malunga, Samantha. "Men who Care: men’s motivations in taking up positions in community mobilisation organizations in Gugulethu to improve the public healthcare system." Master's thesis, Faculty of Health Sciences, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/30170.
Abstract:
Many men in South Africa (SA) want to participate in improving their community. Having lived in the community, they are more attuned to the immediate needs of the community - and male members of the community’s needs in particular - compared to NGOs or external support systems that may try do social development work in SA. There is a great opportunity to include more men in community mobilisation (CM) work and health systems strengthening programs in SA and beyond. Historically, volunteer work, including CM has been seen as a job for women. There are fewer male volunteers in CM than there are female volunteers; hence, more research has been conducted around female volunteers’ experiences and motivations. In order to support the greater inclusion of men in volunteer work, this mini-dissertation explores men’s motivations to participate in CM work. This mini-dissertation is divided in the following three parts. A research protocol (Part A) which focuses on understanding the motivations of male community mobilisers who are involved in activist community work in the Gugulethu Township. A literature review (Part B) which examines existing literature on volunteer work and how gender affects experiences of, and motivations to volunteer. Lastly, a manuscript for Social Dynamics (Part C) that focuses on the gendered experiences and motivations of men who participate in CM work in the Movement for Change and Social Justice (MCSJ), a community organisation in Gugulethu, Cape Town. The knowledge gained from this mini-dissertation can feed into the larger debate present in SA surrounding the need for more male-centred interventions in the public healthcare system and aims to show how the visibility and representation of male volunteers in the health system can have a positive impact on men’s health seeking behaviours in communities through increasing their linkage to and retention in care.

Abstract:
Le sujet de recherche cible le champ intellectuel français de la dernière décennie du XXe siècle, qui est appréhendé à la lumière des engagements intellectuels et des représentations du processus de destruction de la deuxième Yougoslavie et des guerres pour son héritage. Les évènements survenus en Yougoslavie au cours des années 1990 sont perçus comme une « affaire » au sens donné par les sociologues français Luc Boltanski et Élisabeth Claverie, et utilisés. L’objectif principal de ce travail de recherche consistait donc à répondre à plusieurs questions déterminantes en s’appuyant sur une approche prosopographique des intellectuels, ainsi qu’à analyser leurs actions et leurs représentations. Plus précisément il s’agissait de savoir : a) Quelles sont les modalités et formes d’interventions dans l’espace polémique construit autour de l’« affaire yougoslave » (1991-1999) ; b) Comment se structure cet espace donné à travers les concurrences et les antagonismes entre les individus et les groupes ; c) Quelle est la logique de la réception de la destruction de la Yougoslavie en France. En d’autres termes : est-elle principalement liée aux événements qui se sont produits en ex-Yougoslavie ou aux enjeux politiques internes à la France ? Est-ce que ces différentes représentations ont évolué, et de quelles façons ? ; d) Comment les prises de position s’inscrivent-elles dans le rapport de forces dominant en France ? Pour répondre à ces questions, j’ai employé les outils de la sociologie politique, de la sociologie historique, de la sociologie de la connaissance et de la sociologie des intellectuels. Les fondements théoriques les plus importants ont été puisés principalement dans la théorie des champs de Pierre Bourdieu, puis dans la théorie de l’hégémonie culturelle d’Antonio Gramsci et la théorie des fonctions sociales des idées et de la connaissance de Vojin Milic. Quant aux méthodes de recherche utilisées, j’ai eu recours à l’analyse de correspondances multiples, à l’analyse socio-historique, à des entretiens et à l’analyse critique de discoursThe research topic focuses on the French intellectual field of the last decade of the 20th century, which is understood in the light of intellectual actions and representations of the process of destruction of the second Yugoslavia and the wars for its legacy. The events that occurred in Yugoslavia in the 1990s are perceived as a "affair" in the sense given by the French sociologists Luc Boltanski and Élisabeth Claverie. The main objective of this research work was therefore to answer several decisive questions based on a prosopographical approach of intellectuals, as well as to analyse their actions and representations. More precisely, the question was: a) What are the modalities and forms of intervention in the polemical space built around the "Yugoslav affair" (1991-1999); b) How is this given space structured through competition and antagonisms between individuals and groups? c) What is the logic of receiving the destruction of Yugoslavia in France? In other words: is it mainly linked to events in the former Yugoslavia or to political issues within France? Have these different representations evolved, and in what ways? d) How do the positions taken fit into the dominant balance of power in France? Have they strengthened existing structures? To answer these questions, I used the tools of political sociology, historical sociology, sociology of knowledge and sociology of intellectuals. The most important theoretical foundations have been drawn mainly from Pierre Bourdieu's field theory, Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony and Vojin Milic's theory of social functions of ideas and knowledge. As for the research methods used, I used multiple correspondence analysis, socio-historical analysis, interviews and critical discourse analysis

Abstract:
This thesis is an examination of the ways in which, in what Bourdieu theorises as the 'space of literary or artistic position-takings', Gertrude Stein has been continually positioned and repositioned, constructed and reconstructed: by writers in her own period, in modernism scholarship, and, particularly, by writers staking their claim as the literary avant-garde of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries.1 Since her recuperation by the Language Poets in the 1970s, and in the literary histories proposed by Marjorie Perloff and others, Stein has been positioned as the originator of an alternative avant-garde genealogy which has resisted the 'institutionalised' modernism of the New Critics. This legacy continues to the present day in claims by writers like Kenneth Goldsmith that she is a precursor for Conceptual Writing. Because they are predicated on Stein's resistance to the institution of modernism, and hinge on her removal from its history, none of these arguments discuss in any detail Stein's relationship to the historical movement which is the immediate context for her work - to the institution of modernism itself or to the institutions with which it engages. My thesis challenges the removal of Stein from her milieu by showing how her textual production must be read alongside her activity on her contemporary scene and her representation of and by other modernists. In the thesis, I re-read Stein's work as a series of explicit interventions in the institutions which form the context of the cultural production of the early 20th Century. In doing so, I consider the motivations for the reconstructions and repositionings of Stein, tracing the historiography of her presentation as an exceptional figure dislocated from her context.

Schilling, Emily Ursula. "Reassessing legislative relationships: capturing interdependence in legislative position taking and votes." Diss., University of Iowa, 2015. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1899.
Abstract:
Since Woodrow Wilson's (1885) analysis of Congress, researchers assumed that members of Congress look to one another for information, cues, and advice on unfamiliar policy areas. The amount of time and effort that each legislator and their staffers would have to put in to make all of these voting decisions would be insurmountable. Fellow legislators are a resource to turn to for guidance or assistance. Legislators are able to influence their colleagues above and beyond each of their individual preferences. The members of Congress that are most influential will not necessarily be the same for every bill. The significant legislators may be one's co-partisans and the party leadership or they may be a group of legislators with whom they share a common interest. Spatial analysis allows researchers to look more explicitly at the relationships between legislators and their colleagues.
I use spatial probit and a spatial duration model to study these issues by examining the factors that influence voting decisions and the timing of position announcements. I look at a variety of different policy areas, including foreign policy, education, and agriculture, over an extensive time period (1933-2014) to test which relationships are most influential on their decisions. I study the interdependence between three different relationships, same party, state delegation, and ideological similarity, and hypothesize that these ties will lead legislators to behave more similarly. The use of the spatial analysis provides an opportunity to test these relationships and see if even after controlling for other influences there is dependence between legislators. In my research, I find that legislators are interdependent regardless of their individual characteristics. When I analyze voting behavior, legislators' behave similarly from one another across all three relationships above and beyond what we would expect given their personal preferences. These positive findings do not hold when I study the timing of position announcements where legislators behave dissimilarly from one another when interdependence exists. The study, overall, suggests that legislative ties are especially important in explaining voting behavior and that it is critical to account for these relationships.

Abstract:
Tradition, translation, and transcription in Henrician verse functioned together in systems of communally created, coded position-taking. Understanding this system as an extensive network of production and reception in which women took on many roles allows for new readings of Henrician verse that emphasize the interpretive range available to contemporary reading and writing communities. This restoration demasculinizes our approach to Henrician verse not only through a more equitable consideration of gender’s functions in that social world, but also in de-emphasizing individualized self-fashioning or authorial intent in favor of an engagement with communal production and shared sociopolitical engagement. The creation in this system is not of a code, but of systems for coding and recognizing position-taking. These communal systems offer a site for the intersection of reader and writer, of transcriber and composer, and of King and courtier in a space that questions, creates, and troubles power in the Henrician court.

Abstract:
AbstractIn 2016, the United Nations (UN) Member States adopted a decision on the role of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in encouraging girls and women to be leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). This decision poses a special challenge for many sectors in society and posits unique opportunities for women’s leadership in higher education institutions (HEIs). This chapter opens by presenting views on overcoming gender segregation in STEM. The roles of women in leadership positions in the higher education STEM research areas of a large multidisciplinary university in a Nordic country are explored. The unique paths in which four of these women have progressed in their profession, position, and promotion of equality through their diverse and multiple roles within their HEI are examined. From this collection, intertwined opportunities in assuming leadership in the promotion of gender desegregation in STEM are identified on a micropolitical levels. The chapter concludes by elaborating institutional strategies and synergies for overcoming gender segregation in higher education STEM fields from the perspective of leadership. This chapter ends with an annexed declaration useful for local policy development and practical action.

Abstract:
AbstractBy examining Polish parents’ perceptions of outdoor activities in Norwegian Early Childhood Education (ECE), this chapter discusses how focusing on the child’s perspective can change and challenge parental gender-related value positions, thereby changing perceptions of the cultural formation taking place through outdoor activities. The empirical data on the basis of which this question is answered are comprised of group interviews with 30 Polish migrant parents (18 mothers and 12 fathers) whose children were in Norwegian ECEs. The applied theoretical toolkit of a cultural historical wholeness approach (Hedegaard M, Mind Cult Act 19:127–138, 2012) enables the description of (parental) experiences of cultural formation through outdoor activities as anchored in the value positions established within and across involved societies. It also allows us to grasp those moments when the focus on the child’s perspective in outdoor activities challenges parental value positions and cultural traditions of heteronormativity. The concluding remarks point to the importance of enhancing both the child’s perspective and the specific plane of interpersonal interactions in ECE collaborations with parents and caregivers.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTGiven South Korea’s pivotal role in the security order of Northeast Asia, the US and China are expected to keep raising pressure on South Korea to distinctively position itself in their rivalry. As the rivalry intensified over the past years, Seoul’s strategy has been to accommodate both great powers and to avoid taking sides. The analysis of this chapter shows that this is consistent with the country’s positioning since the end of the Cold War. Structural, political, and broader societal factors combine to explain Seoul’s strategic choices. Today, the country’s policymakers face an international environment that increasingly constrains their strategic options. At the same time, they are confronted with shifts in domestic perceptions, turning increasingly critical of China. Combined, these trends suggest that South Korea will adopt more critical positions toward China in future. The 2022 election of a new South Korean president who has distinguished himself for his anti-Chinese rhetoric might be an early indication of this. For the time being, the country is, however, unlikely to go as far as to abandon its current hedging strategy and join the US in actively balancing against China.

Abstract:
Physical training is one of the essential elements that support the training process of junior polo players, taking into account the particularities, duties and requirements of the playing position. In this context, the special physical training of junior polo players depending on the playing positions must be planned and applied depending on the level of indicators manifestation of development and physical training, the level of possession and application of technical and tactical procedures in game situations, the psychological state of the athletes, including the concrete position occupied in the field. At the same time, in all actions, the general and special physical abilities of the polo players are in close correlation with the technique they possess. Most specialists in the field are of the opinion that polo players show their skills better and better in various playing positions, a fact that requires a special physical training, which allows them, regardless of the playing position, to cope with situations during competitions, and the use of different means and methods in the training process have a diverse influence on physical training, especially on special physical training. In water polo at the present time there is the problem of rationalizing the types of training, especially the general and special physical training in an annual training cycle, a fact confirmed by the content of the training programs of schools and sports clubs.

In ASME 1996 International Gas Turbine and Aeroengine Congress and Exhibition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/96-gt-412.
Abstract:
A new, specially-developed high-frequency-response pressure probe was used to measure the unsteady flow in the interaction region between the pump and the turbine in a hydrodynamic torque converter. In order to reduce the probe diameter, a single-hole, single-sensor cylindrical probe (⌀=1.33mm) was developed, to replace the standard multi-hole probe. The smaller the probe the higher the accuracy in unsteady flow. Therefore this is an improvement over three-hole probe. Three-hole probe measurements were simulated by recording data in three different angular positions. The time variable velocity vectors were determined using the probe’s calibration coefficients and the knowledge of the rotor positions (measured by angle-encoders) for every measurement value. During the data processing, a double ensemble averaging was carried out, taking into account the positions of the pump and the turbine.

Abstract:
Abstract A computer method is firstly proposed, which is used to do the dimension synthesis of planar 4-bar linkages for rigid-body guidance with Prescribed Timing (in short PT) by harmonic component’s database of the coupler’s rotation-angle function. The relationship between position function of rigid-body guidance with PT and coupler’s rotation-angle function of 4-bar linkage is analyzed. The key of the method is to solve the real dimension of linkage, coupler’s point position and installing dimensions of the linkage. Considering solving the problem, a harmonic component’s database of the coupler’s rotation-angle function including 20350 dimensional types, taking the crank-rocker linkage as an example, is established. So, it is possible to choose some linkages from the database to realize rigid-body guidance with PT by using fuzzy identification method quickly, and to approximately achieve “infinite positions” of dimensional synthesis for rigid-body guidance. An example is given to illustrate the efficiency and advantage of this method.

Zheng, Xuan, and Scarlett R. Miller. "Risky Business: The Driving Factors of Creative Risk Taking Attitudes in Engineering Design Industry." In ASME 2017 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/detc2017-67799.
Abstract:
Designing breakthrough products comes at a great cost to the design industry due to the risk and uncertainties associated with creative ideas. However, without creative ideas, there is no potential for innovation. As such, companies need to appropriately embrace the risk associated with creative concepts in the fuzzy front end of the design process in order to build their value. While previous research has linked risk taking attitudes to creative idea generation and selection in engineering design education, there has been limited research focused on engineering design professionals’ creative risk taking attitude and the corresponding driving factors. This is problematic because without this knowledge we do not know what factors inhibit or promote the flow of creative ideas in engineering design industry. In order to address this gap, a preliminary online survey was conducted with 46 design professionals from a global manufacturing company to understand the potential driving factors of creative risk taking, including educational training, job type (R&D, applied engineering, or management), and years of experience. The results suggest that there is a relationship between employee education level and years of experience and an engineering employee’s willingness to take risks on creative ideas in the fuzzy front end of the design process. Interestingly, the results also show that those individuals primarily responsible for the development (R&D) and selection (management) of creative ideas tend to be more financially risk averse than individuals in traditional engineering positions. These results contribute to the prediction of professionals’ design behaviors and have implications for the management of creative ideas in the early conceptual design stages of engineering design industry.

In ASME 2012 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2012-86262.
Abstract:
A hydrodynamic-rolling hybrid bearing (HRHB) arranged in parallel is introduced, in which the radial clearance of rolling bearing is used to prevent the rotor and hydrodynamic bearing from contacting during starts and stops. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of rolling bearing misalignment on performance of HRHB for providing a design guide of machining and assembling tolerance. An analytic model is developed to predict the static performance of HRHBs with a misalignment. The misalignment is represented as an offset and an include angle. Taking the misalignment into account, a force balance equation about oil film force, rolling bearing reaction and external load is derived. The effects of the misalignment on the locus of equilibrium position, the maximum eccentricity, and the transition speed are investigated. The results show that misalignment has significant influences on performance of HRHBs, but there are regions of included angle which are insensitive to the performance of HRHBs; according to the insensitive regions, requirement of alignment errors, machining and concentricity tolerance can be determined; distinct from conventional hydrodynamic bearings, the locus of equilibrium positions of misaligned HRHBs have three variation modes of monotone decreasing, monotone increasing, and increasing first and decreasing afterwards; the monotone decreasing mode of conventional hydrodynamic is not suitable for HRHBs below transition speed; and before the maximum eccentricity ratio, the variation mode of equilibrium positions locus should be determined.

In ILASS2017 - 28th European Conference on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems. Valencia: Universitat Politècnica València, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/ilass2017.2017.4768.
Abstract:
Air assisted atomizers are widely used for various purposes, for example coating processes, medical processes, and sprinkler. However, the spray development processes, especially the breakup phenomena are not fully understood yet. Generally, the main breakup of the air assisted atomizer depends on whether the mixing is internal or external. The border between these processes is not clear. In order to study changes in the spray configuration due to the way of mixing, the spray was investigated for the transition from internal to external mixing. Therefore, an air assisted atomizer which allows adjusting the distance between injector to cover was used. The atomizer consists of two components, which are a liquid injector and an injector cover with orifice. The atomization air flows through the gap between the injector and the cover. The position of cover orifice is able to be traversed from the position fully attached to the injector to several millimeter distances from the injector nozzle. In this study, the water spray characteristics depending on the air and liquid mixture position were investigated experimentally by two optical measurement techniques. Phase Doppler Anemometer (PDA) has been applied for measurement of velocity and size of droplets in water spray which injected into the atmosphere. Also, high resolution direct imaging technique has been developed and applied for measurement of size of droplets. The results from these measurement techniques were compared and they correspond well. Imaging techniques were used also for taking the spray angle as well as the liquid core in the near field. The measurement positions were set at planes which are located on various positions downstream from the nozzle orifice. For each downstream position, radial profiles of the spray pattern were measured. The water mass flow, atomization air volume flow, and the cover position are changed and their effects on the spray are characterized. The atomization mass flow and the cover position can be set in a way to design the radial profile of the spray according to the requirement of the process.

Abstract:
В статье анализируется извечная проблема, сложившаяся в семейном праве: какой метод правового регулирования является преобладающим - императивный или диспозитивный? С учетом позиций различных ученых-правоведов России, вполне естественно, приходим к выводу о неразрывном взаимодействии обоих видов этих начал, дополняющих друг друга. The article analyzes the age-old problem that has developed in family law, which method of legal regulation is predominant - imperative or dispositive. Taking into account the positions of various Russian legal scholars, it is quite natural that we come to the conclusion that both types of these principles are inseparable interaction, complementing each other.

Garber, Peter M. Transition to a Functional Financial Safety Net in Latin America. Inter-American Development Bank, September 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0011593.
Abstract:
The basic worldwide financial safety net architecture provides for a system of similar institutions: a lender of last resort, deposit insurance, and prudential regulation. In countries whose banking systems suffer seriously from negative capital positions and overbanking, such as in some Latin American markets, the safety nets and the detailed mechanisms of their operation may not be functional in reducing excessive risk taking. They offer banks strong incentives to double their bets for survival. Thus, banks' negative capital positions have been eliminated with capital injection, liquidation, and mergers.

Abstract:
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has changed the media landscape not only in Ukraine but also around the world. The established standards that journalists have been using in their work for a long time need to be revised and adapted to the new conditions. The article analyzes the challenges that Ukrainian journalists have to overcome in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. A comparative analysis of standards and rules for covering events in peacetime and wartime is presented. The essence of the new terms for standards that have been used in Ukraine during the full-scale war is revealed. The author emphasizes the ability of Ukrainian journalists to adhere to ethics and morality, to experience and comprehend the new reality, and to form new rules of journalistic creativity. Different opinions and positions of journalists who cover military events in Ukraine on a daily basis are collected. The article analyzes the experience of Ukrainian and foreign journalists in acting, understanding and forming content within the standards of journalistic creativity, and the development of new rules by the journalistic community and state institutions, taking into account the challenges faced by Ukrainian journalism during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The author theoretically substantiates the standards and their features; highlights the basic principles of preparation of materials taking into account traditional standards; substantiates the need to improve the rules, expand their understanding and formulation, taking into account the latest challenges. Key words: standards of journalistic creativity; media ethics; military journalism, balance of opinion, reliability of sources, media analytics, commentary, efficiency, accuracy.

Hansen, Erwin, Luis Oscar Herrera, and Kevin Cowan. Currency Mismatches, Balance-Sheet Effects and Hedging in Chilean Non-Financial Corporations. Inter-American Development Bank, January 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0010955.
Abstract:
Using a new database on the currency composition of assets and liabilities, this paper explores the determinants and consequences of currency mismatches in Chilean non-financial firms. As in previous firm level studies for Chile, we find that in periods following a depreciation firms with higher dollar debt do not underperform their peso counterparts. However, once we adequately control for differences in the currency composition of assets, income and net derivative positions, we do find a significant balance sheet effect. In addition, we find that derivatives play a role in insulating firm level investment from exchange rate shocks. In line with previous studies, we also find evidence of currency matching in Chilean corporates. Firms in Chile actively reduce the risks associated with exchange rate exposure by matching the currency composition of their debt with that of their income and assets, and by taking on derivatives if no "real" hedge is available. Finally, we find significant changes in the level of net currency exposure after the exchange rate was floated in 1999. We argue that one possible interpretation of these results is due to the effect of higher exchange rate variance on the relative risk of domestic and foreign debt.

Lewis, Dustin. Three Pathways to Secure Greater Respect for International Law concerning War Algorithms. Harvard Law School Program on International Law and Armed Conflict, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.54813/wwxn5790.
Abstract:
Existing and emerging applications of artificial intelligence in armed conflicts and other systems reliant upon war algorithms and data span diverse areas. Natural persons may increasingly depend upon these technologies in decisions and activities related to killing combatants, destroying enemy installations, detaining adversaries, protecting civilians, undertaking missions at sea, conferring legal advice, and configuring logistics. In intergovernmental debates on autonomous weapons, a normative impasse appears to have emerged. Some countries assert that existing law suffices, while several others call for new rules. Meanwhile, the vast majority of efforts by States to address relevant systems focus by and large on weapons, means, and methods of warfare. Partly as a result, the broad spectrum of other far-reaching applications is rarely brought into view. One normatively grounded way to help identify and address relevant issues is to elaborate pathways that States, international organizations, non-state parties to armed conflict, and others may pursue to help secure greater respect for international law. In this commentary, I elaborate on three such pathways: forming and publicly expressing positions on key legal issues, taking measures relative to their own conduct, and taking steps relative to the behavior of others. None of these pathways is sufficient in itself, and there are no doubt many others that ought to be pursued. But each of the identified tracks is arguably necessary to ensure that international law is — or becomes — fit for purpose. By forming and publicly expressing positions on relevant legal issues, international actors may help clarify existing legal parameters, pinpoint salient enduring and emerging issues, and detect areas of convergence and divergence. Elaborating legal views may also help foster greater trust among current and potential adversaries. To be sure, in recent years, States have already fashioned hundreds of statements on autonomous weapons. Yet positions on other application areas are much more difficult to find. Further, forming and publicly expressing views on legal issues that span thematic and functional areas arguably may help States and others overcome the current normative stalemate on autonomous weapons. Doing so may also help identify — and allocate due attention and resources to — additional salient thematic and functional areas. Therefore, I raise a handful of cross-domain issues for consideration. These issues touch on things like exercising human agency, reposing legally mandated evaluative decisions in natural persons, and committing to engage only in scrutable conduct. International actors may also take measures relative to their own conduct. To help illustrate this pathway, I outline several such existing measures. In doing so, I invite readers to inventory and peruse these types of steps in order to assess whether the nature or character of increasingly complex socio-technical systems reliant upon war algorithms and data may warrant revitalized commitments or adjustments to existing measures — or, perhaps, development of new ones. I outline things like enacting legislation necessary to prosecute alleged perpetrators of grave breaches, making legal advisers available to the armed forces, and taking steps to prevent abuses of the emblem. Finally, international actors may take measures relative to the conduct of others. To help illustrate this pathway, I outline some of the existing steps that other States, international organizations, and non-state parties may take to help secure respect for the law by those undertaking the conduct. These measures may include things like addressing matters of legal compliance by exerting diplomatic pressure, resorting to penal sanctions to repress violations, conditioning or refusing arms transfers, and monitoring the fate of transferred detainees. Concerning military partnerships in particular, I highlight steps such as conditioning joint operations on a partner’s compliance with the law, planning operations jointly in order to prevent violations, and opting out of specific operations if there is an expectation that the operations would violate applicable law. Some themes and commitments cut across these three pathways. Arguably, respect for the law turns in no small part on whether natural persons can and will foresee, understand, administer, and trace the components, behaviors, and effects of relevant systems. It may be advisable, moreover, to institute ongoing cross-disciplinary education and training as well as the provision of sufficient technical facilities for all relevant actors, from commanders to legal advisers to prosecutors to judges. Further, it may be prudent to establish ongoing monitoring of others’ technical capabilities. Finally, it may be warranted for relevant international actors to pledge to engage, and to call upon others to engage, only in armed-conflict-related conduct that is sufficiently attributable, discernable, and scrutable.

Okwundu, Charles I., and Charles Shey Wiysonge. Which interventions improve the management of dual practice? SUPPORT, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.30846/160811.
Abstract:
Dual practice in the healthcare setting refers to the holding of more than one job, in unrelated health facilities, by a health professional. In many low-income countries, low pay and difficult working conditions lead many health professionals in the public sector to add to their income by taking on private patients who pay for the services that they receive. Dual practice has both negative and positive consequences and there are concerns that its negative impacts may exceed the positive ones. By allowing public sector workers to supplement their income, it may be easier for the public health sector to keep their skilled workers. However, dual practice may also lead health professionals to spend less time in their public sector job; take time off without permission to work in their private positions; lower the quality of their services in the public sector in order to drive patients to their private practice; or take resources from their public sector workplace to use in their private sector jobs. Various interventions have been implemented to manage dual practice e.g. banning dual practice, regulating the number of hours that public sector workers are allowed to do private practice, regulating how much public sector workers are allowed to earn from private practice, salary increases and promotions for workers who agree to only work in the public sector, and allowing limited private practice within public facilities.

Abstract:
The city of Dakar is one of the only cities in Africa to come close to taking a municipal bond to market. The US$40 million bond, set to launch in 2014, was designed to fund a new market hall for informal traders in the city. The market would relocate more than 4,000 street vendors, with the aim of moving them from side streets into a safe and central place to sell their goods, with access to credit agencies and other market services. Development partners, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Bank’s Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), Cities Alliance, and USAID, played a crucial role in making the bond terms viable – both in shouldering the financial burden of developing internal creditworthiness, and in providing expertise and guarantees to reduce the risk. Although the bond’s launch was ultimately stopped by national government decree, the process of preparing for the bond has greatly improved the financial management capabilities and creditworthiness of the city. As a result, Dakar’s bond journey is still paying dividends to the city today, with a number of successful concessional and commercial loans. The process also deepened the city’s connection with its residents – with small bond denominations, informal traders were one of the key investors. The motivation for the bond was in part due to the city’s lack of control over its financial resources. While the most recent decentralisation law amendment, Acte III de la Décentralisation of 2013, has seen many responsibilities devolved to the local level, finances to deliver on this new mandate have not followed. In fact, all revenue and expenditure for local governments in Senegal are processed at the national level, leaving little room or incentive for financial reform. Surprisingly, despite this, the law gives local governments relative independence in taking on debt. This meant that when Mayor Sall came into office with a vision for change, the only viable financing opportunity within the city of Dakar’s control was via the latter. This legislated independence is also the reason why the halting of the bond was so heavily contested. The city of Dakar provides an example of the importance of the political landscape in effecting any innovative reforms, as well as the need for the national government to buy-in to the fact that successful cities are in their interest as well. This is particularly critical in Dakar’s case, given the city’s finances are managed at the national level. Fortuitously, the national government is now beginning to focus on improving local revenues, primarily through property taxes, as well as better coordination amongst different stakeholders through a dedicated department and the ‘Local Fiscality Commissions’ described below.

Abstract:
Introduction. The economic losses associated with disability due to diseases of the circulatory system, as well as the costs of providing medical care to patients suffering from heart and vascular diseases, are increasing annually. The state preventive measures currently being carried out are of a delayed nature. The results of the medical examination of the population of the Russian Federation in recent years (2015-2019) indicate that the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, is at a fairly high level. In the middle of the last century, the Concept of risk factors for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases were formulated, in the structure of which cardiovascular diseases, including arterial hypertension, occupies one of the primary positions. The concept is based on the results of promising epidemiological studies, and, at present, is a methodological basis for planning and organizing primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the study. Based on the analysis of literary sources (including foreign ones) containing experience in the use of telemedicine technologies, to assess their significance for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, as well as forecasting improvements in the quality of medical care when adapting to the use of clinical recommendations. Materials and methods. The article provides an analytical review of the use of modern telemedicine technologies in the prevention of hypertension. The results of the study and their discussion. The analysis of literary sources has shown that in the context of the progress of information and telecommunication technologies in the healthcare system, a fundamentally new direction has appeared in the organization and provision of medical care to the population - telemedicine, which will ensure the modern level of prevention, detection and treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases, and also determines positive medical, social and economic performance indicators. To date, updates in the legislative framework of the Russian Federation are aimed at ensuring that medical care with the use of telemedicine technologies is more widespread, taking into account the standards of medical care and clinical recommendations. Conclusion. Based on a review of literature sources, it has been established that the modern solution to the problem of improving the quality of medical care for patients, including those with hypertension, diseases is medical care using telemedicine technologies that prove their medical, social and economic effectiveness.
