Relationship between inferior fascicle of anterior talofibular ligament and articular capsule in lateral ankle ligament complex.

The lateral ankle ligament complex (LALC) is composed of anterior talofibular (ATFL), calcaneofibular (CFL), and posterior talofibular (PTFL) ligaments, all of which have a connection/continuous fiber. However, the structural link between the LALC and the articular capsule remains unknown. The goal of our study was to determine the connection between ATFL's inferior fascicle and the articular capsule. In this study, we utilized 84 formalin-fixed ankles to elucidate the structure of LALC. Between ATFL and CFL, the bundle number of ATFL and arciform fiber was investigated. The specimens were decalcified and sectioned coronally using a freezing microtome, in the case of double bundles of ATFL, to study the connection between the inferior fascicle of ATFL and the articular capsule. ATFL had a single (25%), double (74%), and triple (1%) bundle number, respectively. The arciform fiber connecting the ATFL and the CFL was found in the superficial layer of all ankles (100%). There were two types of relationships between the inferior fascicle of ATFL and the articular capsule: 36 ankles (58%) were extracapsular, and 26 of 62 ankles (42%) were integrated with the inferior-lateral articular capsule. There are two kinds of relationships between the inferior fascicle of the ATFL and the articular capsule: extracapsular and integrated-capsular. The inferior fascicle of ATFL has a variant and integrated-capsular type is reinforced inferior-lateral articular capsule and enters the joint to form continuous fibers with PTFL, making LALC. These anatomical findings are helpful in ultrasonography diagnosis and arthroscopic ankle surgery.

From Contestation to Cooperation: The German Orthodox Church, Neo-Pietism and the Quest for an Alternative Ideal of the Nation

The emergence of German neo-Pietism after the Napoleonic Wars appeared to contest the dominance of orthodox Protestantism, mainly in Prussia, but also in other German lands. However, nineteenth-century neo-Pietists forged a different kind of relationship with the orthodox than that of the early Pietists and the orthodox about two centuries earlier. Although challenging each other during the 1820s, from the 1830s onwards, neo-Pietists and the orthodox joined forces to confront rational theology, liberalism, and modern nationalism. This article departs from the existing scholarly discussion about these developments in arguing that the Pietist–orthodox alliance, which merged with political conservatism, did not necessarily apply a reactionary policy. Acknowledging the impact of the new liberal trends, these Christian devotees introduced an alternative national ideal that was based on their religious and political views. Invoking the ideal of a German Christian State, the rival Christian strands became woven into a modernized force which fostered a specific German national identity. This was characterized by ecumenical Christianity, a specific understanding of religion, a deep devotion to the German people, and nationalization of Judaism. Theirs was not a democratic nation-state, but an amalgamated model which combined a historic relation to Christianity with new efforts to redefine collective identity in a national age.

Between language frames: seriality and variation in computer-coded film. A case study with a code-generated abstract film

Communication consists of basic units of information transferred between emitters and receivers, often functioning inside a whole structure called language that allows the formation of an unlimited multiplicity of relationships. Conscious or tacit, communication ranges from the explanation of a complex idea, to the natural reading of body conditions that manifest that an individual is up to reproduction. That natural sense of decoding, lets us automatically recognize a certain relationship between whatever two objects we put together, like how a black object relates to a white one, or a top one to the bottom, or even one to the many, constituting a primitive sense of idea, order or thought, without even a representation of the subject. Applied to Film, those kinds of relationships between forms are rhythmic relationships, and rythm is basically the essence of filmmaking, as film (same as music) is a form of art that takes place along time and in the rendition of movement, but rather precisely in the temporal distribution of connected blocks of image/movement, timed chains of tension and release that give a certain sense of mathematical relationships settling the base for an universal language, Giving these considerations , what happens when the language of film is ranslated into a computer programming language in order to emulate cinematic properties? What tensions and nuances emerge? This paper will address these issues using an arts based research project of recreating a short abstract film using entirely the popular media arts prototyping language Processing.

Do Homeless People Giving Up Hope? A Qualitative Study in Penang, Malaysia

This qualitative study aims to explore the lives of homeless people around Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia especially in the social support aspect of their lives. Twenty (20) informants were involved in this study. Data obtained were analyzed using the content analysis method. The results showed that the homeless were classified as those who had given up hope. Lack of social support resources makes the homeless' lives to be drifted and then further triggers risky behaviour changes. The feelings of isolation and neglect caused the homeless to decide not to have any kind of relationship with their nuclear family. This study has the potential to contribute to the knowledge of social marginalization issues affecting homeless people in Malaysia in general and especially in Georgetown, Penang as well as its implications for the survival and sustainability of these minorities' lives.

Touch Deprivation and Anxiety among College Students in the Covid-19 Pandemic

Touch deprivation or the shortage of haptic communication is an understudied yet quite a vital area of nonverbal communication. This study aims to understand how “Touch Deprivation and Anxiety Among College Students in The Covid-19 Pandemic”, it tries to assess how touch deprivation affects the anxiety levels in college students in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Snowball convenient data collection method was used to collect a total of 106 samples through e-forms and physical questionnaires. The tools used were Jason Wrench’s Touch Deprivation scale as well as Aaron Beck’s anxiety scale. The main statistical tools used was Correlation analysis to know if there is any kind of relationship between anxiety levels and touch deprivation levels in college students in the midst of a global pandemic. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between the two variables considered.

Institutional Religion and Religious Experience

A number of empirical studies have shown the continuous lack of adherence and the growing autonomy of the population regarding religious institutions. This article reflects on the kind of relationship between deinstitutionalisation and religious experience based on the following hypothesis: the evident decline in religious institutions does not necessarily lead to the disappearance or the weakening of religious experience; rather, it runs simultaneously with a process of individualisation. Our aim is to provide empirical evidence of such transformations; therefore, we do not get involved in speculations, but take into account the contributions of scholars concerning three key terms integrated in the conceptual framework of “religious experience’’: “experience of God”, “God image”, and “institutional belonging”. We analysed 39 in-depth interviews with a qualitative approach; interviews were conducted during the years 2016–2018 amongst Evangelical and Catholic populations in three Latin American cities (Córdoba, Montevideo, and Lima) and in the city of Bilbao (Spain). These interviews clearly indicate a growing autonomy from the religious institution, while evidencing a rich range of experiences of God and a great diversity of God representations. In both cases, they point to processes of individualisation of believers who elaborate their own religious experience in a personal and complex way.

TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT SERVICES: CLOSING A LOOPHOLE IN SECTION 198 OF THE LABOUR RELATIONS ACT 66 OF 1995

Section 198 of the Labour Relations Act (hereinafter “LRA”) regulates the employment relationship between a worker (the employee), a labour broker (the employer) and a third party (the client). It also regulates the aspect of liability between the temporary employment service and its client on the one hand in relation to the employee/worker on the other hand. It is with regard to the latter aspect thatthe employee is in a detrimental position as far as the loss of protection against an unfair dismissal as regulated by sections 185 and 186 of the LRA is concerned. The complexity of this kind of relationship is illustrated by means of a case study relating to an unfair dismissal dispute. Legislation regulating the employee’s rights and the employer’s duties upon termination of the contract of employment is also discussed. In conclusion, solutions and recommendations are offered to address the existing areas of concern with regard to section 198(4) and the client’s responsibilities, the interpretation problems within the tripartite employment relationship, as well as the employment contract.

Does The Physical Distance Between Couples Increase Trust and Overall Satisfaction? A Comparative Study Between Long-Distance Romantic Relationships and Geographically Close Relationships

Long-distance romantic relationships have been around for quite a long time and technological advancements have made it easier to survive one. But, there is still a huge difference between LDRRs and GCR (geographically close relationships) i.e the ‘visiting’ factor. Interpersonal trust is the want of being vulnerable to one’s actions and relying on them with confidence. Having said that, the lack of physical intimacy/in-person contact may play a factor in having increased interpersonal trust in their partners. Relationship satisfaction is the overall happiness and satisfaction one has in their relationship. The present study aimed to assess and compare trust and relationship satisfaction in both Long-Distance Romantic relationships and Geographically Close relationships. The study was conducted on 50 LDRR couples and 50 GCR couples. Standardized measures of Trust and Relationship satisfaction were administered on the participants. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the trust levels between both kinds of relationships. Relationship satisfaction was not significantly different but was higher in LDRR. Further research revolving around different kinds of relationships can help us get a deeper insight to getting to know about the variables and their interdependency.

When All You Have is a Hammer: Surface/Depth as Good Comparison

AbstractThis article interrogates and reimagines the approach to reductive music analysis characterized by spatial metaphors (like “underlying” harmony). Such language portrays analysis as the process of discovering a structure “beneath” a piece’s “surface.” I argue that this picture downplays the multi-faceted, varied processes that go into creating musical reductions. Examining details of several different kinds of relationships between “surface” and “depth,” I show that while the traditional characterization is analytically apt in many cases, it encourages false equivalences in others. Borrowing Schoenberg’s description of music theory as being based in “good comparison,” I suggest that such an alternative conception might better suit some of our engagements with reductive analysis. Moreover, adopting this alternative might encourage different kinds of engagements, altering our perspective in a way that makes constructing reductions a much more flexible—and potentially more powerful—approach than has hitherto been the case.

Ways of Being Together During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Support Bubbles and the Legal Construction of Relationships.

This article focuses on the concept of the support bubble. The concept was introduced in New Zealand in March 2020 in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic to denote a network of people with whom a person could have physical contact, and was later taken up in various forms elsewhere, particularly in the UK. The article focuses on the meaning that was attached to the concept and to the ways of being together that it encapsulated and stipulated. Where support bubbles were formalised as a matter of law, as in New Zealand and the UK, a particular form of relating was legally constructed and real relationships were affected through law. The article addresses the meaning and implications of the concept of the support bubble in this light. First, it considers the concept of the support bubble as a new legal form, which drew in, and built on, a range of relationships and then recast them in terms of a new legal form. Second, it analyses the central question posed by the concept as one of the meaning of being together in a support bubble, not only for those navigating and living with the concept in practice, but also as mediated in and through law. Third, it outlines how the concept of the support bubble represented a distinct legal development. It enabled those who were eligible to define for themselves, albeit within a specified framework, the meaning and nature of a relationship of support of this kind. It also supplied a space in which some kinds of relationships that had not necessarily attracted much previous legal attention—like friendships and dating relationships—came to find a degree of legal reflection and recognition.

The Management of a Company’s Relational Capital as Part of Business Process

Purpose: The paper deals with the issue of a company's relational capital, especially customer relations. The aim of the paper is an attempt to answer the question concerning the role of developing the right type of relational capital with customers in organisations applying the Business Process Management (BPM) philosophy. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper characterises business processes and the BPM concept, as well as describes models of process maturity. The section regarding a company's relational capital focuses on different types of relations with stakeholders and also asks about the essence of customer relations in organisations using BPM. The paper includes the results of quantitative research carried out among 600 companies of all sizes operating throughout Poland. The diagnostic survey method, which used the Paper and Pencil Interviewing (PAPI) technique, was chosen as the research method. The respondents were representatives of top management, including business owners. The research was complemented by a case study conducted in one of the organisations operating in the metal industry. It is a company that fully applies the BPM concept. Findings: The results of the quantitative research carried out indicate the existence of a relationship between the type of relations that a company has with its customers and the level of process maturity of the company. The types of customer relations are so important that the attention of companies using the BPM concept is focused on this kind of relationships. The results of the case study strongly confirm that the company analysed sees an important role of its relational capital (especially customer relations) in business process management. Every process implemented in the organisation is undertaken with the final customer in mind as well as his/her satisfaction with the product or service offered. Originality/value: The article discusses an innovative approach to the relational capital of enterprises from the point of view of the process maturity of companies.

Quantitative strength prediction of advanced ceramics with regular/irregular flaws in I-mode failure condition

Flaws in ceramics have significant impacts on strength. Understanding of ceramic strength from qualitative statistical description to quantitative prediction is essential for the fields of fracture mechanics, materials science and engineering applications. In this study, two regular flaw-strength prediction models with clear physical meanings were firstly established according to the classic crack-strength model (Sato [17] combined with two kinds of relationships between critical stress intensity factor Kc and tip radius r (Gómez [18] and Yang [19] under I-mode failure condition. Comparisons with the data that reported in the literature proved that the Sato-Yang model was more accurate than the Sato-Gómez model in evaluating fracture strength in ceramics with regular flaws. Based on the finite element simulation and the mathematical fitting, a simple coefficient that can reasonably described the complexity of flaw shapes was proposed, thus extending the regular flaw-strength model to solve the irregular flaw problem and passing the experimental verification at the same time.

Building and Sustaining Community in an Online EdD Program

Abstract
 In this essay, we have described how we build and sustain community in our online EdD program. Initially, we discussed our understanding of community and its influence on our efforts. Then, we discussed three important theoretical frameworks—Wenger’s Community of Practice, Garrison et al.’s Community of Inquiry, and Morris and Stommel’s Critical Digital Pedagogy—and how those frameworks helped to shape our efforts in building and sustaining an online community. Next, we discussed strategies/processes that we have successfully used to build and sustain community in our online program. These strategies were grouped around three kinds of relationships that have been central to community formation, interaction, and continuation—student-to-student, student-to-faculty, and student-to-broader-community. We discussed specific strategies such as the Leadership Challenge, Doctoral Research Conference, an online program “Hub,” comprehensive and immediate feedback, mentoring, and Leader Scholar Communities, that we have found to be particularly useful in building and sustaining an online community.

Which governance mechanism influences the relationship between motivation and performance? An investigation on university and industry collaboration in Malaysia

PurposeThis study examined academic motives to enter university-industry collaboration (UIC) and how they affect collaboration performance. Given that UIC performance is context-dependent, we also explored the moderating role of relationship governance.Design/methodology/approachThe study population was academics working at a public research university while collaborating with industry. Data were collected through a cross-sectional survey. The measurement items were adapted from previous studies. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted using IBM SPSS statistics 26 (SPSS 26). This study utilized a hierarchical moderated regression analysis to examine the research model.FindingsThe results indicated that government and institutional policies and knowledge generation and dissemination are critical indicators of necessity that motivate academics to enter UIC and positively influence performance outcomes. Different governance mechanisms also play varying roles in the relationship between motivation and UIC performance.Practical implicationsInstitutional programs designed to encourage academics to collaborate with industry should consider the types of academic motivation and carefully manage collaboration efficiency using various kinds of relationship governance.Originality/valueThis study contributes to existing knowledge by determining how different relationship governance mechanisms moderate the relationship between academic motivation and collaboration performance.

Love as a Necessary Corrective: Toward Antiracist Schools for Our Children

In this essay, the authors draw on their experiences as teachers, scholars, and parents who identify as Chinese American and Chicana to articulate their vision of antiracist schools. The essay names love as a necessary corrective to systemic violence and othering in schools—specifically, love for children who routinely traverse racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic borders in their full humanity, elevating their ways of being, knowing, living, sensing, and thinking. This concept is explored in terms of three kinds of relationships, all of which require an ethic of love: teachers loving children, children loving one another, and loving relationships between adults.

Надзор фабричной инспекции за промышленными заведениями Российской империи XIX — начала XX веков

The value of supervision over industrial institutions at the stage of active formation of industrial production in Russia in the 19th — early 20th centuries is shown. The role of the factory inspectorate and other state bodies aimed at controlling the production process, as well as the spheres of interaction of the enterprises with the state is defined in the article. Based on the example of the activities of the factory inspectorate, the criteria are formed to determine the desired balance of rights and obligations in the structure of legal relations, which is required to comply with the interests of the state and business entities. Delineation of the powers of the factory inspectorate helps to identify the areas where state control is needed. At the same time, further study of the implementation of control and supervisory functions of the state in the field of industrial production is substantiated. The need to regulate this kind of relationship is indicated considering the modern realities where the merger of technological and organizational processes is objectively taking place, and the algorithms are built into the structure of legal relations. The issues of legal regulation of the industrial sector of the economy raised in the study indicate the unsolved fundamental problems of the theory of law, namely, the scope and significance of technical and legal regulation in the mechanism of management of the society, its scope in the structure of social regulation. The studied historical material allows to assert that the supervision in industry creates the basis for safety and real labor protection at the industrial objects. Introduction of the institute of factory inspectors became an important factor in building the labor protection system at the factories and plants. With the help of this institute, the norms were implemented aimed at ensuring trouble-free functioning, including at explosive and fire-hazardous industries of the Russian Empire in the 19th — early 20th centuries.

An action researcher in an advisor’s hat: A short reflection on lessons the OECD has learned from undertaking action research in the realm of policy and politics

Action research has enormous potential for policymakers, and those who advise them, to work in more iterative, reflective, and collaborative ways. For complex systems facing wicked problems, any approach that gets it closer to framing a problem well and drawing upon diverse forms of knowledge to bring about change, is good. Advisors who do action research in policymaking or political settings should be sensitive to the fact that this methodology may confound expectations regarding the ‘traditional’ advisor role. As such, some careful navigation of this approach (and what it means for the relationship and perception policymakers may have with those they engage to advise them) is required. This opinion piece shares lessons from an advisor working in the OECD’s innovation team, which embraced the action research methodology to reflect on and design innovative policy interventions with public sector policymakers. Action researchers who are using this methodology to produce policy advice may be more successful in auguring, and better navigating, new kinds of relationships with government if they heed the following lessons: frame the value of action research with decision makers, diversify your data and follow the story, and prime practitioners to participate.

Formation of spirituality, morality and patriotic feelings in children of primary school age

The article deals with the specific aspects of the formation of spirituality, morality and patriotic feelings in children of primary school age. Spirituality, morality, and patriotic feelings are unchangeable universal values that may sound different, but their semantic content is identical among different peoples. The formation of these values is possible already in primary school age. It is spiritual and moral education that sets the attitudes that affect the essence of human relationships. The personality becomes spiritually richer through the introduction of children of the first stage of education to spiritual and moral values, through the formation of an attitude to themselves and to other people, to the surrounding world as a value, the development of the consciousness of the younger student and his spiritual qualities. The formation of moral qualities in students of primary school age will be more productive when creating a number of pedagogical conditions, since they are the most manageable, aimed at forming a certain kind of relationship. The analysis of theoretical sources gives us a reason to conclude that the problem of the spirituality of the individual occupies one of the central places in the system of knowledge about a person, and has repeatedly become the object of research by philosophers, psychologists and teachers. In order to identify the pedagogical conditions for the formation of spirituality, morality and patriotic feelings in younger schoolchildren by determining the level of formation of these qualities in students, a study was conducted in MBOU Secondary School No. 20 in Mineralnye Vody, Stavropol Territory. The authors identified the criteria of educational work on the formation of patriotic feelings and determine the stages of patriotic education in children of primary school age.

Education Reform and the Normalisation of Private Education in Slovenia

This article examines the long-term effects of the regulation of private education adopted in the course of the education reform in 1996 and the sustainability of the guiding principles that served as the starting point for this regulation. It reviews the guiding principles of the introduction of private education, the goals of the reform laid down in the White Paper in 1995 and the regulations introduced on the basis of these tenets. It follows up on the ‘life’ of the legal solutions and the history of (attempted) amendments of the legislation, which generally start in the Slovenian Parliament and then proceed all the way to the Constitutional Court. The article also examines the effects of the adopted regulation: how the private education sector has established itself and what kind of relationship it has developed vis-a-vis public education. The second part of the article explores certain developments in the field of education in Slovenia and on the global scale, using them as the basis for assessing the sustainability of the goals that guided the education reform. The thesis proposed by the article is that it is the normalisation of private education in Slovenia should be considered the main achievement of the education reform.

Dental Malocclusion and Its Relation to the Podal System.

Background and Objective: This study analyzes the possibility that Stomatognathic and Postural systems are related by muscle chains. Malocclusion may influence the posture, contact between the foot and the ground, center of mass, footprint or vice-versa. This study aimed to verify whether there is a relationship between dental occlusion and podal system.Materials and Methods: A cross-cutting, descriptive study was carried out on 409 children (222 boys and 187 girls) between 8 and 14 years old. Dental occlusion was assessed on the sagittal plane (Angle's classification) the contact between the foot and the ground and the center of mass were evaluated using a stabilometric platform.Results: There was a statistically significant relationship between the plantigrade phase, the contact surface area and center of gravity. There was a prevalence of molar and canine Angle's class II malocclusion. In molar class II, an anterior center of gravity was predominant, in class I it was centered and in class III, it was posterior. There was significant correlation between malocclusions and the FPI (foot posture index) of the left foot and the height of the scaphoid in the right foot (P < 0.001).Conclusions: Some authors agree with our results. There is still much uncertainty in terms of showing a relationship between both systems. In addition, there is scarce scientific evidence on the topic. Some kind of relationship between the two systems has been proven. Studies that evaluate a group of subjects in a longitudinal manner are necessary to enable the changes taking place in both systems to be defined.
