Existentialist Perspectives on Emotional Intelligence in Coaching in Foreign Studies

In the modern world, coaching activities are gaining increasing popularity. Coaching, at its fundamental core, is based on the philosophy of existentialism and is aimed at changing (improving) society’s life. This article provides a philosophical justification for coaching. The phenomenon of coaching is considered through the prism of the fundamental concepts of existentialist philosophy, namely: existential authenticity, existential choice, and existential anxiety, from the perspective of existentialist philosophers such as J-P. Sartre, S. Kier-kegaard, M. Heidegger, and M. Merleau-Ponty. The authors demonstrate the interconnection of existential philosophy, emotional intelligence, and their role in modern coaching. However, there are several challenges, including ethical issues in coaching, finding a balance between existential exploration and emotional intelli-gence, as well as adapting the approach to different coaching contexts. Coaches need through training to inte-grate effectively existential principles with emotional intelligence. Beyond coaching, this integration has broader philosophical and psychological implications, encouraging self-discovery and emotional regulation in personal development, leadership, and individual and societal well-being. As a result, ethical questions arise, as existential coaching prompts clients to reflect on the ethical aspects of their choices, emphasizing empathy and ethical decision-making. The synthesis of existential foundations and emotional intelligence in coaching offers a transformative path to self-awareness, contributing to more effective performance for both clients and coaches.

In this article, the author focuses on clarifying the relationship between infrastructure and the green logistics development of businesses. Drawing from previous studies along with descriptive statistical methods, measurement model evaluation, and structural model evaluation through the application of SPSS and SmartPLS software, the research results show that the development of logistics infrastructure positively impacts the green logistics development of Vietnamese businesses. Consequently, some recommendations are proposed to contribute to the effective and sustainable development of green logistics.

The Elusive Fandom: The Problem Field of Foreign Fan Studies

The article is dedicated to an overview of English-language fan studies as an interdisciplinary research area. In particular, it discusses trends in the development of fan studies, various approaches to the conceptualization of fandom and fans, as well as the phenomenon of “aca-fans” and the specifics of research ethics in fan studies. The author traces the complex path of formation and transformation of fan studies into an independent subdiscipline recognized by the academic community. This path is marked by a series of “waves,” which reflect both different approaches to understanding the subject of study and changes in the status of fan studies as such. The spread of fan practices and communities emerging around objects of mass culture contributed to their normalization and mainstreaming. Fan studies also demonstrates changes in its focus: the issue of stigmatization of fans is receding into the background, and fandom analysis in the context of social inequality, participatory culture and media consumption is becoming relevant. Contemporary discussions within fan studies are aimed at rethinking the key notions and searching for new interpretations and concepts that overcome the limitations of previous approaches. One of the main topics of discussion is whether the focus of fan studies is still on the fan community (a tradition started by Henry Jenkins) or whether it also includes individual fans. In addition to revising the concepts and boundaries of the subject field, the article addresses methodological and ethical problems in this area. Particular attention is paid to the position of “aca-fans”, belonging to both the academia and the fan world. The article also shows how the perspective of fan studies is beginning to be applied in related social science disciplines. Since many communities and movements (political, consumer, cultural, etc.) function in some ways similar to fandom, turning to fan studies theories can deepen our understanding of these phenomena.

Homo Digitalis in the EU and in Hungary

Digitization has such a complex impact on public and private life, fundamental rights, competitiveness and public services, of which the article only examines the implementation of the EU digital transformation in Hungary. In the context of digitalisation, a significant issue is that the criteria for technical-technological standardization and legislation following the principle of democratic constitutionality differ, so Homo Digitalis is born in the midst of these contradictions. Increasing economic and social competitiveness, strengthening the well-being and legal protection of citizens in the implementation of the decades- long Digital Citizenship programs are linked in the EU strategy documents, while creation of the digital world in Hungary differs to some extent: the provisions on digitization are set out in 996 legal sources in force (November 2023) but the development of the emerging institutional, service and public funding system is incoherent, it does not adapt to the real social needs, digital literacy of citizens and digital penetration. Based on government strategies, Digital Hungarians want the e-Administration, e-Payment system and e-Identification available on their mobile phone from comfort, as they are roaming in social media according to surveys. But in the background, the Hungarian path of digital transformation differs from the principles of EU Digital Citizenship, and the new Act on digital services, adopted in December 2023 without public debate, provides the fullest possible state control on citizens, serves to collect and sell their data, in addition to selectively strengthening the ICT corporate world in the country.

Exploration of Transitional Community Resilience Governance: A Case Study of Community S in Suzhou City, China

With the vigorous development of urban construction in China at the end of the 20th century, transitional communities have emerged as an important driver of urban economic development. Currently, the drawbacks of transitional communities in the process of modernization are constantly being exposed, prompting numerous reflections from urban leaders, and the transformation and upgrading of transitional communities has become a vital issue. Taking S community in Suzhou City as an example, this article elaborates on its current development status and theoretical basis. Leveraging resilience governance theory and using the pyramid model, the S community is thoroughly analyzed from three levels and six aspects, identifying various problems and proposing countermeasures and suggestions relying on theories of collaborative governance, digital sharing, and diverse stakeholders. By coordinating planning and empowering data to enhance physical resilience, promoting institutional resilience through collaborative governance and institutional innovation, and enhancing cultural resilience through community culture and inclusive communities, this research explores a unique transformation path for the S community, identifying common experiences and providing empirical insights for resilient governance of transitional communities.

Research on the Impact of Financial Agglomeration on Green Investment

With growing global attention on sustainable environmental development, green investment has become an important tool to drive the green transformation of the economy. Financial agglomeration areas, as capital-intensive regions, provide strong support for green technological innovation and eco-environmental projects. Additionally, the policy inclinations and investment preferences of financial agglomeration areas directly influence the flow and efficiency of green funds, further shaping the path of economic green transformation. Based on this, this paper selects panel data from 31 provinces in China (except Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) over 15 years from 2007 to 2021. Using the fixed effects model, the study examines the impact of financial agglomeration on the scale of green investment and conducts a heterogeneous analysis of the effects in different regions of China, as well as proposing related policy suggestions. The results show that an increase in the level of financial agglomeration can significantly enhance the scale of green investment in a region, especially in the central regions. Compared to the eastern and western regions, the promotion effect of financial agglomeration is more pronounced in the central region.

Drying-wetting cycles affect soil structure by impacting soil aggregate transformations and soil organic carbon fractions

Drying-wetting (DW) cycles influence the formation and breakdown of soil aggregates and consequently impact the physical protection of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the interaction between soil structural dynamics and SOC fraction changes driven by DW cycles is still unclear. Herein, aggregation pathways were tracked by using rare earth oxides (REOs) as tracers. The recombined soil columns were subjected to different DW frequencies (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 cycles) and two DW intensities (low intensity, Q1; high intensity, Q2). During a 56-day incubation, aggregate distributions, mean water diameter (MWD), REO concentrations, the contents of SOC and its fractions (particulate organic carbon, POC; mineral-associated organic carbon, MOC) were measured. The results showed that MWD markedly increased with DW frequencies regardless of DW intensities and was significantly related to the relative changes of 2–0.25 mm aggregates (P < 0.05). Based on transformation paths, DW cycles stimulated the breakdown of > 0.25 mm aggregates and the aggregation of < 0.053 mm aggregates, thus leading to the increasing formation of 0.25–0.053 mm aggregates. Soil aggregate turnover time was affected by DW intensities and extended with DW frequencies (P < 0.05). Soil aggregate turnover time was displayed in the order of < 0.25 mm aggregates < 2–0.25 mm aggregates < 5–2 mm aggregates. MOC concentration exhibited an increasing trend with DW frequencies. A higher loss of SOC under high DW intensity resulted from more exposure of POC through soil aggregate breakdown. POC concentration was sensitive most to the 2–0.25 mm aggregates turnover time. The structural equation model (SEM) revealed that DW cycles exerted remarkable effects on MWD by impacting SOC fractions and soil aggregate transformations. Overall, our findings suggested that soil aggregate breakdown and formation processes, rather than aggregate size distributions, were more of a concern when evaluating the effects of DW cycles on soil structural stability.

A conceptual model for measuring the maturity of an Intelligent Construction Environment

ABSTRACT Construction projects can be regarded as complex sociotechnical systems composed of diverse and dynamically interacting elements. Digital Transformation advancements can support construction companies in creating an environment to cope with complexity and improve performance. Nevertheless, reaching these advantages involves understanding how transformed processes should be managed and measured, such as using maturity assessment tools. The construction industry lacks maturity models encompassing the sector’s main characteristics and focusing on its production context. Therefore, this work proposes a conceptual model for measuring the maturity of an Intelligent Construction Environment from a sociotechnical perspective. Thus, first, the concept of an Intelligent Construction Environment is introduced. Then, based on two empirical studies consisting of 17 interviews and 11 days of on-site data collection, as well as an extensive literature review, 19 measurement dimensions associated with 13 principles and five maturity levels are proposed. This work’s theoretical contributions encompass an in-depth understanding of how the construction industry can be positioned in the digital transformation path from a sociotechnical perspective. Main practical contributions include the proposition of maturity measurement dimensions for an Intelligent Construction Environment, which indicates the aspects construction managers should focus on throughout the digital transformation process of the production environment.

Ab initio investigation of electronic structure and magnetic transformation during the bcc to hcp transition in Fe induced by pressure

The pressure-induced structural transition from a body-centered cubic (bcc) to a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal in Fe is studied through ab initio electronic structure calculations, combining with the thermodynamic and kinetic phase-transition methods. According to the energy-volume relationship and thermodynamic criterion, the reasonable phase transition pressure is calculated to be about 13.88 GPa. The SSNEB method is employed to examine kinetic structural and barrier changes along bcc-hcp transition under various pressures. The transformation path involves the deformation of (110)bcc into the tightly packed (0001)hcp, accompanied by the relative slip of (110)bcc along the [1̅10]bcc direction, leading to the formation of the hcp structure. Our results indicate a reduction in the transition barrier of bcc-hcp with increasing pressure. Under the thermodynamic phase transition pressure, the bcc-hcp phase transition barrier is still as high as 140 meV, implying that pure hydrostatic pressure is not a sufficient condition to drive the phase transition. In addition, different from the continuous change of volume, the magnetism of the structure undergoes a magnetic mutation at the transition state, and the phase transition process involves complex magnetic transitions.

Институт собственности в национальной экономике: структура и импульсы развития

The institution of property plays a pivotal role in shaping economic relations within a nation. In this article, the author delves into the theoretical and methodological dimensions of property institution in the national economy, emphasizing its dynamic nature and the transformative impulses it receives from global societal changes. The analysis of the categorical apparatus of property in the conditions of an institutional economy is carried out. The evolutionary path of transformation of intra-social systems and the use of provisions related to the labor method of appropriation of goods as the “core” of the property institution is substantiated. The features of its functioning in the information society are considered. It is concluded that the problem of alleviating alienation through appropriation within it represents one of the most acute issues requiring urgent resolution due to the increasing polarization of human society in this regard and the escalation of conflicts among its members. However, ongoing global transformations necessitate continuous adaptation and reform of property institutions to ensure their relevance and effectiveness in the face of evolving societal challenges.

Unravelling Ultra‐Stable Conversion‐Type Zinc‐Ion Storage in Copper Selenides for Flexible Aqueous Batteries

AbstractRocking‐chair configurations based on advanced anodes with reliable zinc‐ion storage can intrinsically avoid the deterioration of flexible zinc‐ion energy devices by corrosion, dendrites, and inadequate mechanical stability of zinc metal, yet the identification of durable anode materials is still challenging. Herein, the first reported conversion‐type Cu2‐xSe is proposed as an ultra‐stable anode for flexible rocking‐chair aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Differing from these well‐recognized intercalation‐type copper selenide anodes, the unique Cu2‐xSe structure features a preferred thermodynamic deep transformation path, and the high‐reversible conversion reaction is fully illuminated by in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction and substantial ex situ characterization, demonstrating an outstanding performance combination of high capacity (150 mAh g−1 at 0.5 A g−1) and record‐high stability (91% capacity retention after 20 000 cycles at 5 A g−1 in Cu2‐xSe||ZnxMnO2 full cells). Consequently, fiber‐shaped batteries using Cu2‐xSe as the anode are successfully assembled and exhibited an ultra‐long life (89.8% capacity retention after 900 cycles) and extraordinary flexibility (98% capacity retention after 4500 cycles of bending), far exceeding those of representative flexible batteries previously reported. The findings provide novel insights into the energy storage mechanism of copper selenides and, as an elegant forerunner, offer a plausible path for the development of rocking‐chair flexible aqueous zinc‐ion batteries.

Factor reallocation path for low-carbon transformation: A perspective of manufacturing industry ecosystem

The incomplete production factor market induces more factors flowing to industries with lower carbon productivity, highlighting the need for effective factor reallocation to promote low-carbon transformation. Current research is constrained by the dimension of factor endowments, with insufficient attention given to the problem of diminishing marginal benefit of factor input in factor reallocation. By combining the factor flow effect induced by productivity difference with the factor allocation equilibrium effect under diminishing marginal benefit, the factor reallocation path for low-carbon transformation is analyzed using random forest algorithm within a high-dimensional data environment from the perspective of manufacturing industry ecosystem. The results indicate that effective factor reallocation for low-carbon transformation depends on breaking the dual segmentation of factors between regions and industries to facilitate flow of factors from shrub layer industries to canopy layer industries. Adjusting key factor combinations to fall within the optimal equilibrium interval of S-shaped or anti S-shaped partial dependence curves maximizes the marginal benefits of low-carbon transformation. Industries must upgrade their factor endowment structure to accumulate essential carrying capacities that support advanced manufacturing, leveraging the low-carbon transformation dividends of advanced factors inflow and technology spillover. Otherwise, aligning with regional factor comparative advantage to cultivate differentiated characteristic manufacturing industries offers a promising alternative, capitalizing on the low-carbon efficiency premium derived from specialized division of labor.
