Difficult Relationship Research Articles

Кадрова політика як один із головних факторів складових організації

Abstract. Introduction. The main task of management in any modern organization is to find competent and qualified employees, to inspire a single goal, to rally them to achieve high economic and social results, to survive in difficult market conditions, sometimes in crisis. In management, the peculiarities of work with personnel are reflected in the personnel policy. It should be noted that this term has been used for a long time, but not every top manager can answer questions related to personnel policy. Purpose. The purpose of the article, to answer the questions: what personnel policy includes; what is the procedure for developing personnel policy in the organization, what personnel strategy and personnel policy have in common. Results. Personnel policy should be developed by the owners, top management and personnel service of the organization (enterprise). The most important direction of personnel policy is the work with the reserve of managerial personnel. Professional promotion of employees in organizations (enterprises) is based on the consideration of professional and business qualities of the employee, the results of evaluation of his work. As practice shows, there is no single point of view on the definition of the concept and essence of personnel policy. But, on the other hand, the variety of approaches to its development only creates opportunities for its justification, revision, development and improvement. Conclusions. The most effective personnel policy, bringing success to the organization. Relevance of the topic is obvious, if you not only know, but also understand, that the personnel is a key strategic resource of any company. How to be able to masterfully manage them in a difficult market relationship, so that they become a "flame engine" of the mechanism to achieve profit? There is no single answer, as there is no and can not be the same personnel policy. It can be right, which will be evidence of the effective development of the organization in the strategic perspective and wrong, which will lead to the collapse in the end.

Monetary theory and policy: the difficult relationship of Menger’s theory of money and his positions on currency reform and monetary policy

The contribution attempts an evaluation of Menger’s theory of money by comparison of his Geld-article (1892/1909) with his statements in the context of the introduction of the gold standard in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in 1892. In the first place, this concerns the goal of constancy of the value of money, but also his theory of money under uncertainty, his attitude towards the banking system, and other issues. The contribution also discusses the fundamental political dimension of pursuance of monetary policy goals and the anti-interventionist orientation of the economic liberalism of the representatives of later generations of the Austrian School.

ON THE RHYTHMS OF REVOLUTION IN THE TEXT OF HOMO SOVETICUS: UNDERSTANDING OCTOBER REVOLUTION IN B. AKUNIN’s BLOG “LOVE OF HISTORY” (ARTICLE 2)

The article continues to comprehensively analyze the reflection of the October Revolution in B. Akunin’s blog Love of History . With the help of the contexts from Google Books, the most important features of homo soveticus are distinguished; the authors show how the Soviet man became disillusioned with the ideals brought up in him from childhood. One of these ideals is interpreted within the metaphorical model “revolution as a woman”. Based on the material of the blog entry “Lover of the Revolution (Age-Written)” (26.09.2013), the general text implementation of this metaphor is shown. It has been suggested that, in addition to direct negative evaluation nominations of the female image and the accompanying mythologization, this model appears at the levels of the categories of composition, theme, chronotope, and tonality. A detailed categorical analysis made it possible to confirm this hypothesis: the revolution, metaphorically displayed as a woman, retains a temporal connotation in the analyzed entry; the main character, who occupies the position of the theme (its “lover”), comes to be in a difficult relationship with the revolutionary epoch and eventually dies, “burned in the flames” of his own passion.

EHD stability of two horizontal finite conducting rotating viscous fluids: Effects of energy and concentration distributions

The objective of the present study tackles the Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) stability of two superposed horizontal liquids, where the upper layer is occupied by a perfect gas and the lower one by a viscous liquid. The structure is saturated in porous media and is subjected to a uniform rotation around its normal axis, so both centrifugal and Coriolis forces are considered. Additionally, the system is affected by a uniform, normal electric field. The novelty of the proposed mathematical model is supplemented with the impacts of temperature and concentration distributions. Therefore, for more accuracy, apart from Hsieh’s simplified modulation Hsieh (1972), energy and concentration equations are incorporated. The boundary-value problem is examined using regular mode modeling; hereafter a linear stability analysis is attained. The analysis reveals in more depth a set of non-dimensional physical numbers. Consequently, this procedure reveals an extremely difficult dispersion relationship. After performing the numerical calculations, the comparison between the outcomes and the existingliterature gives satisfactoryfindings. Furthermore, the electric field destabilizes the system. Nevertheless, based on the proportion of fluids permittivities and conductivities, the field has a dual role in leaky dielectrics.

Interdisciplinary simulation for nursing and medical students about final conversations: Catalyzing relationships at the end of life (CAREol)

Final conversations (FCs) go beyond how patients want to be cared for at the end of life (EOL) and focus on messages of love, identity specific, and unique to an individual and relationship that requires self-examination, everyday talk that normalizes a difficult situation, religious/spiritual messages, and if needed, difficult relationship talk to heal broken relationships. The purpose of the Catalyzing Relationships at the End of Life (CAREol) program was to provide interdisciplinary education to nursing and medical students and clinical faculty about facilitating FCs among patients and families. This two-part, quasi-experimental program consisted of a cognitive (online) and experiential (live simulation) curriculum experience. Program curriculum, including video vignettes, readings, and live simulation (utilizing actors), was developed by the study team. Reflective journaling and researcher designed pre- and post-tests were used to assess comfort, confidence, importance, and distress regarding FCs and collaboration with other disciplines. The pre-/post-test questions demonstrate statistical significance based on a paired t-test with effect sizes supporting the practical importance of the findings for effect size. Preliminary content and thematic analysis of qualitative responses describe categories of the mock team meeting experience and interaction with the actors to change patient and family outcomes. Early intervention with the CAREol program provides a framework to help students and clinical faculty facilitate FCs that may result in peace and comfort for patients and families during a difficult time.

Pain, nsaids, and chronic kidney disease: a difficult relationship

The article presents data on the incidence of pain in patients with chronic kidney disease of various stages, the main causes of acute and chronic pain, the frequency of use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by patients for pain relief. The article discusses the possible risks of an adverse effect of NSAIDs on kidney health. Unfortunately, often patients do not know about their CKD and take NSAIDs on their own, and doctors underestimate the condition of the kidneys when prescribing drugs to relieve pain.

Endogenous assets-mapping: a new approach to conceptualizing assets in order to understand young people’s capabilities and how these relate to their desired educational outcomes in disadvantaged neighbourhoods

ABSTRACT Asset-based approaches to public service reform suggest a need for policymakers to shift attention from ‘fixing’ the perceived deficits of disadvantaged neighbourhoods, to recognising and building on the resources, or assets, they hold. However, these approaches have also been critiqued for interpreting assets so broadly that they effectively become meaningless, or so narrowly that they perpetuate deficit views. To counter these tendencies, a new conceptually and methodologically robust endogenous assets-mapping approach is proposed. This has been designed to enable nuanced insights into the assets young people living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods may draw upon to pursue positive educational and wider life outcomes. The approach’s utility is illustrated through the case of Ayesha, a 14-year-old student with a difficult relationship with school. The paper concludes that an endogenous assets-mapping approach can help to generate more positive narratives for vulnerable learners living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods than schooling may typically enable.

Свобода вибору країни проживання: рееміґрація з Канади в Українську РСР (1955–1960-ті роки)

The article examines the peculiarities of the Soviet policy of return-to-the-homeland campaign from Canada to the Ukrainian SSR, which since 1955 was conducted by the Committee for Repatriation to the Motherland. The Ukrainian Diaspora in Canada occupied a special place in the committee’s efforts. The propaganda campaign for re-emigration was aimed at forming a positive images of the Soviet Union / Ukrainian SSR, in particular their economic achievements. The emotional component that was used to stir up nostalgia among the Diaspora was also fully used. The Ukrainian pro-communist press published numerous letters by Ukrainians who had lived in Canada but returned to their native land as evidence of the wonderful life in Ukraine. The return-to-the-homeland campaign was helped by leftist Canadian organizations (such as Association of United Ukrainian Canadians) through their own newspapers. It regularly published letters to friends in Canada from recent returnees. The return-to-the-homeland campaign was conducted in the context of the Cold War and the difficult relationship between Canada and the Soviet Union. However, re-emigration from Canada did not become so massive, as hoped for by its organizers, and by its scale was inferior to reminiscences from other countries (for example, from Argentina). The hundreds of Canadians who resettled in the Soviet Union in the second half of the 1950s represented only a small part of the Ukrainian origin community in Canada. But even in this situation, the Canadian government’s position on the return-to-the-homeland campaign was clearly considered too passive by members of the Ukrainian Canadian Committee. Canadians who returned to the U.S.S.R. felt duped and were not easily integrated into Soviet life. Those who succumbed to the manipulation of Soviet propaganda were quickly disappointed with the realities of life in the Ukrainian SSR and began to appeal for a return. Such persons immediately fell within the sight of the Committee of State Security, whose staff conducted “preventive conversations” with them. From the Canadian government’s perspective, there were no problems for people who had been born in Canada and they were eligible for Canadian citizenship. From the Soviet point of view, such steps were equivalent to political betrayals and were completely prevented. Separate cases of successful returns to the ocean were fixed at the beginning of the 1970s, which became possible due to the detente of international tensions during the Cold War and more persistent actions by Canadian authorities. A small number of repatriates managed with considerable difficulty to return to Canada. Some of them (N. Demydenko, E. Lenko) have been seeking permission to go to Canada for several years.

The Selected Literary Letters of Paul Laurence Dunbar ed. by Cynthia C. Murillo and Jennifer M. Nader

Reviewed by: The Selected Literary Letters of Paul Laurence Dunbar ed. by Cynthia C. Murillo and Jennifer M. Nader John Dudley (bio) The Selected Literary Letters of Paul Laurence Dunbar, edited by Cynthia C. Murillo and Jennifer M. Nader. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 2021. x + 305 pp. Cloth, $59.95; Ebook, $59.95. Already acknowledged as an important figure in the rise of African American literature and culture at the turn of the twentieth century, Paul Laurence Dunbar nonetheless remains a somewhat elusive and underexamined presence who made significant contributions to nearly every published genre during his brief career. Although long familiar as a poet who divided his efforts between dialect and conventional verse, his novel The Sport of the Gods has been increasingly recognized as a canonical work of literary naturalism on par with Stephen Crane’s Maggie and Frank Norris’s McTeague for its unvarnished portrait of urban America during the tumultuous Progressive era. Much of his other work, including three additional novels, numerous short stories, plays, song lyrics and librettos, and published and unpublished essays on literature, politics, and culture, remains rare in print anthologies or the classroom. In this context, Cynthia C. Murillo and Jennifer M. Nader have produced a valuable edition of Dunbar’s correspondence, the first focused on his role as a writer, and an accessible volume that promises to stimulate further scholarship on the author’s diverse and compelling body of work. As Murillo and Nader note, several biographers have cited Dunbar’s letters from archival sources, beginning with Benjamin G. Brawley’s Paul Laurence Dunbar: Poet of His People (University of North Carolina Press, 1936) and Virginia Cunningham’s Paul Dunbar and His Song (Dodd, Mead, 1947). In recent decades, critics have largely relied on Jay Martin’s A Singer in the Dawn: Reinterpretations of Paul Laurence Dunbar (Dodd, Mead, 1975) and Peter Revell’s Paul Laurence Dunbar (Twayne, 1979) for references to Dunbar’s correspondence with such major figures as William [End Page 85] Dean Howells, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. DuBois, and Theodore Roosevelt. Notably, the very recently published biography by Gene Andrew Jarrett, Paul Laurence Dunbar: The Life and Times of a Caged Bird (Princeton University Press, 2022), also extensively cites archival sources for Dunbar’s literary correspondence in painting perhaps the fullest portrait of Dunbar’s eventful life. An important precursor to this volume, Eleanor Alexander’s Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow: The Tragic Courtship and Marriage of Paul Laurence Dunbar and Alice Ruth Moore (New York University Press, 2001), draws upon correspondence from the turbulent relationship between Dunbar and his wife, whose own literary career, as Alice Dunbar-Nelson, has gained significant attention in recent scholarship. In a textual note, Murillo and Nader explain their decision to avoid reprinting the mostly frequently cited correspondence, familiar to many Dunbar scholars from the above sources, including much of the personal correspondence that documents disturbing details of Dunbar’s abusive behavior toward Alice, his close but difficult relationship with his mother, and his struggle with alcoholism and tuberculosis, which would claim his life at the age of 33, after a brief but prolific literary career. Indeed, it is the literary career that Murillo and Nader’s selections and annotations emphasize, and this approach offers a fascinating portrait of an author struggling to establish a creative career under extraordinary circumstances. Generally recognized as the first African American to make a living as a professional literary author, Dunbar’s accomplishments resulted from talent, ambition, and fearlessness, along with his canny willingness to capitalize on personal relationships and fortuitous opportunities. The son of parents emancipated from slavery, Dunbar was raised in Dayton, Ohio, where his first publications appeared alongside his high-school classmate and friend Orville Wright. Denied the opportunity to attend college, Dunbar sought every opportunity to publish while working often menial jobs through most of the 1890s, until the momentum achieved following Howells’s enthusiastic support of Dunbar’s second volume of poetry allowed him to leave his job as a reading room assistant at the Library of Congress in 1898 and pursue writing as his primary source of income until his death in 1906. Along the way, Dunbar...

Charitable Activities in the Sixteenth Century: Early Theatine Identity under Carafa

The Theatine order was the first of the new orders of clerics regular founded after the schism provoked by Luther. The dominant historiographical tradition suggests that, immediately following their foundation, the Theatines devoted themselves to charitable work. However, recent studies have revealed that their main founder, Gian Pietro Carafa (later Pope Paul IV), created the Theatines in 1524 because he needed collaborators to promote the sacralization of the Church for his struggle to curb ecclesiastical corruption and then against heretics and heresies. At the same time, however, what emerges is that only after Carafa's death did the second generation of Theatines refocus the order on the “care of the soul,” aligning the order with the latent teachings of co‐founder Gaetano Thiene. This article reinterprets the history of the early Theatines and aims to define their connection with charity work. It investigates the token charitable activities they performed and how even these activities conflicted with the tasks Carafa assigned to them. To better define the order's identity under Carafa, this article also investigates the difficult relationship between the early Theatines and laypeople, in particular, the women who ran various Italian charitable institutions.

Teachers' Perception of the Moroccan ICT Portal of the Ministry of Education

School failure is a difficult experience for students and their families. The identified causes of such failures however vary. While some are related to the educational system, others are extrinsic and related to the family or society. This paper focuses on promoting the notion of equity in education since there is a close relationship between equality of opportunity and the reduction of school failure and drop-out. Oftentimes, students from disadvantaged social backgrounds have less access to teaching aids, which results to the highest rate of school failure. The results interpret two things: the impact of the integration of the ICT in education through the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training and the use of teaching aids in the performance of students. Through the responses of students and teachers to the questionnaire, two main factors of school failure were distinguished. The first factor is specific to the school such as teaching and evaluation methods, the school climate, the content of the curricula taught, and the difficult relationship between teacher and student, while the second factor is identified outside the school such as the students' standard of living or the lack of support at home.

Three speakers’ perspectives on experience in Taylor Swift’s selected lyrics from Folklore album

Pop songs are now an important means of expression for the modern generation. Academicians must consider this phenomenon as the object of language studies. This research attempts to analyze three songs in a Grammy-winning album of 2021, Folklore. Song lyrics in Betty, Cardigan, and August, written by Taylor Swift have the quality of narrative poetry (ballads) for having the characteristics of storytelling voiced by a different speaker in each song. The purpose of this research is to show how the varying amounts of transitivity process types in each lyric suggest different perspectives on reality. It uses a stylistic approach to expose the linguistic features that allow the speakers to portray diverse perspectives after going through a difficult relationship. As he apologizes to his partner, the speaker in Betty uses material process significantly to reconstruct the outer experiences. In Cardigan, the speaker emphasizes mental processes, incorporating her personal experience into her knowledge and memory. However, in August, the speaker uses both material and relational processes in equal proportions as she battles with her status in the relationship. Hence, listeners could identify with the various speakers' individual experiences as expressed in the lyrics.

Promises and Pitfalls of Dyads in the National Diabetes Prevention Program: Lifestyle Coach Perspectives.

To describe Lifestyle Coach perceptions of dyads (i.e., family members and/or friends) in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP). Qualitative evaluation of cross-sectional survey responses. Online. Lifestyle Coaches (n=253) with experience teaching at least one in-person year-long NDPP cohort at a CDC-recognized organization. Survey included items on background and experience with dyadic approach, as well as open-ended items on the benefits and challenges observed when working with dyads in the NDPP. Lifestyle Coach background and experience were analyzed descriptively in SPSS. Open-ended responses were content coded in ATLAS.ti using qualitative description, and then grouped into categories. Most Lifestyle Coaches (n=210; 83.0%) reported experience delivering the NDPP to dyads. Benefits of a dyadic approach included having a partner in lifestyle change, superior outcomes and increased engagement, and positive "ripple effects." Challenges included difficult relationship dynamics, differences between dyad members, negative "ripple effects," and logistics. Lifestyle Coaches described a number of benefits, as well as some challenges, with a dyadic approach to the NDPP. Given the concordance between close others in lifestyle and other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, utilizing a dyadic approach in the NDPP has the potential to increase engagement, improve outcomes, and extend the reach of the program.

Mask of the Translator: Walter Benjamin and Metal Gear Solid’s Difficult Relationship with Localization

Jeremy Blaustein’s liberal translation of Metal Gear Solid (1998) was a critical creative intercession which helped facilitate the successful localization and positive reception – in the west – of a crucial early project in the development of 3d games. It can also be seen as an unacceptable liberty taken with a carefully produced script, one which too often puts the needs of a western ear ahead of faithfulness to the original. Walter Benjamin’s essay ‘The Task of the Translator’ and its inheritors in translation studies offer a definition of translation and its utility with which one can justify such a creative intervention as a necessary continuation in the life cycle of the original work and an honest interpretation of the game’s paratextual environment; in the localization of Metal Gear Solid Blaustein performed the task of the translator as Benjamin conceived it.

Dynamic Stereotyping Across Occupations. How Management Academics and Practitioners Negotiate the Knower-Doer Stereotype in Interaction

Despite the growing debate on the difficult relationship between management theory and practice, we still know little about what happens when academics and practitioners meet in liminal contexts, and how they deal with perceived differences. We study a corporate executive program where management academics and R&D managers draw on the ‘knower-doer’ stereotype to exchange knowledge about technology innovation management. We introduce the concept of dynamic stereotyping -i.e. using readily available occupational images to engage immediately in temporary and fluid exchanges with members of other occupations. Dynamic stereotyping (anticipation, reaction and reversal) can help reduce the relational insecurity experienced by academics and practitioners when they meet and promote the transition from abstracted to more embodied and realistic views of each other. We contribute to the theory-practice debate and to the literatures on stereotypes and occupations by providing a process-based view on stereotyping and the conditions favoring dynamic versus rigid stereotyping.
