Variasi Sebutan untuk Kucing dan Pemaknaannya dalam Akun Mention Confess (Menfess) @Kochengfs

Variations in the appellation of cat are created because cat is marked as something important for humans. One influential factor in the emergence of variations in the appellation is the existence of interaction spaces among cat lovers. One of them is menfess account @kochengfs. This research examines the various appellation for cat and their meanings in the menfess account @kochengfs. The purpose of this research is to describe the variation of appellations for cat and their meanings in the menfess account @kochengfs. This research is included in the qualitative descriptive research. This research uses a semiotic approach with the trichotomous relation theory from Peirce. The data source of this research comes from the mention confess (menfess) account @kochengfs with a corpus of research data in the form of 1,758 tweets taken from 17–24 February 2023. Based on the analysis, there are 214 tweets containing 37 appellations for cat. The appellations are dominated by icon signifying with a total of 24 appellations, then symbols with 12 appellations, and index only 1 appellation. Appellations with icon signifying are based on (a) body shape; (b) body hair; (c) voice imitation; (d) fur color; (e) teeth shape; and (f) physical characteristic.

La práctica de los CEO experimentados: Líderes relacionales ante situaciones de crisis

Background: Most studies on leadership mainly focus on the role of the leader, seeking to understand the most appropriate style of behavior to lead, considering leadership a one-sided phenomenon. As a result, they end up neglecting some important roles among those led, such as, for example, the reciprocal relationship between leaders and followers and the influence of organizations in this relationship. Moving from the understanding of a traditional leadership to a Relational Leadership becomes, therefore, an important step towards understanding the phenomenon of leadership. Purpose: This article analyzes how highly successful and experienced CEOs who have been leading large corporations perceive the influence of Relational Leadership to overcome moments of organizational and personal crisis. Method: In the qualitative research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 CEOs (9 men and 3 women, around 60 years old) that have been leaders of several corporations in Brazil and abroad for more than 30 years. Results: The results show that the CEOs perceived the strong and positive influence of relational leadership to successfully face economic, political and personal crisis. The CEOs practices are related to the Relational Leadership Theory: 1) multilateral relationship; 2) human social construction; 3) relationships based on trust; 4) collective dimension; 5) communication to foster better decisions. These practices were also identified as antidotes to the solitude of power inherent to the CEOs` position. Conclusions: Successful CEOs who have walked a long road leading corporations perceive the strong and positive influence of Relational Leadership to face crisis. So, the study has theoretical implications when it points out Relational Leadership as effective in crisis situations, since the literature relates crisis with transformational leadership in most cases.

Corporate Communication in Growing Internal Relations of Employees PT. Pupuk Indonesia Sales Department Region 1 North Sumatera

This research uses a qualitative approach to describe the data findings and data analysis carried out. Researchers used data analysis using the Miles Huberman and Saldana method which includes data condensation, data display, and then drawing conclusions. The research results that researchers found that corporate communication was carried out by PT Pupuk Indonesia Sales Department Regional 1 using the employee relations stages, downward communication through direction and coordination carried out directly through meetings, and indirect communication through communication media such as WhatsApp and Zoom, as well as providing training, rewarding and motivational education programs to employees. The novelty found in this research as a differentiator from similar research that has been carried out previously is the use of corporate communication theory combined with employee relations theory to analyze phenomena that occur in the research object.

Realpolitik in the Anthropocene: Resilience, Neoclassical Realism, and the Paris Agreement

Abstract It has been observed that the Paris Agreement has become an “analogy” of diplomatic success and institutional design because it allows emissions reduction commitments to be determined at the national level. While this is widely attributed to the United States’ insistence on excluding any provisions that would have required US Senate ratification, the success of Paris stems more from the way the agreement partly circumvents the divergent interests of developed and developing countries by allowing states to pursue their own mitigation strategies based on domestic distributional and ideological politics rather than interstate cooperation and/or competition. It is this accommodation of both an institutionalist logic of absolute gains and a more realist logic of relative gains that ultimately underpins the diplomatic and institutional design success of Paris. However, the resonance of realism, at least in its neoclassical form, also stems from its greater capacity to accommodate the heightened socioecological complexity, interconnectedness, and unknowability occasioned by the Anthropocene than other branches of Anthropocentric international relations theory. This potential is outlined in this Forum article by sketching the epistemological and ontological connections between neoclassical realism and the concept of resilience.

Defend, Deny, Distance, and Dismantle: A New Measure of Advantaged Identity Management.

The experience of privilege can trigger psychological conflict among advantaged group members. Nonetheless, little work has explored strategies that advantaged group members use to manage their identities as privileged actors. Building on Knowles et al.'s framework and theories of intergroup relations, we address the conceptualization and measurement of advantaged group identity-management strategies. We aim to refine theorizing and validate a measure of these strategies across three contexts (U.S.'s White-Black relations, Israel's Jewish-Arab/Palestinian relations, and U.S.'s gender relations). This process yielded two novel conceptual and empirical contributions. First, we add a strategy-defend-in which advantaged-group members overtly justify inequality. Second, we discover that distancing has two facets (distancing from inequality and from identity). Across six studies, we find support for our proposed factor structure, measurement invariance, and construct validity. We discuss how advantaged groups contend with privilege and offer a tool for studying these strategies across domains and contexts.

TEORI KEPERAWATAN HILDEGARD E PEPLAU DAN APLIKASINYA PADA KASUS GANGGUAN JIWA

This literature review explores Hildegard Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Theory in the context of psychodynamic nursing. It outlines the theory's fundamental concepts, emphasizing human, environmental, and health aspects. The case analysis demonstrates the theory's application in managing patient anxiety. Its strengths include enhancing mental well-being, reducing anxiety, and providing better care. However, the theory has limitations, particularly its emphasis on psychological aspects and neglect of the physical environment. The conclusion highlights the importance of integrating a holistic approach to enhance nursing care effectiveness.

Brahmins and Balance of Power: Re-Reading A.P. Rana's Imperatives of Non-Alignment

Abstract In this article, I revisit a modern classic, a book that is often cited but rarely analyzed: A.P. Rana's Imperatives of Non-Alignment. Appearing in 1976, the book was a culmination of decade-long work and claimed to be the first attempt at IR theory from India. Rana was indeed from the first generation of scholars who engaged deeply with International Relation (IR) theory, and the book drew on a range of, sometimes contradictory, theoretical perspectives from Systems Theory to Realism to English School to Hindu Social Theory. In this intervention, I analyze this book and the corpus of Rana's writings with an attempt to contribute to two themes within IR. First, I show how caste plays a prominent role in Rana's thinking about Indian strategies of foreign policy behavior. His analysis makes a case for seeing nonalignment as a historical continuation of a Brahminical mode of balancing. Consequently, this article is also an effort to place caste as a central category of IR theorization from India. Secondly, I discuss the specific ways in which Rana's realism adapted to its Cold War context and advanced a redemptive vision of realism.

Optimal modeling of line paths based on multibeam bathymetric system

Multibeam ocean bathymetry is one of the major issues in exploring the ocean. For problems such as multibeam line ocean bathymetry, this paper starts from the related theory, analyzes the inherent geometric features of the problem, comprehensively establishes a multibeam line model with generalized significance within a certain error range, and according to the method of least squares, gives a model of the line with a fixed opening angle of the multibeam transducer in a certain range of the sea area. Firstly, from the geometrical point of view, the interpreted diagram and the schematic diagram given in the title are combined and simplified into a problem of solving a triangle. The trigonometric equations are listed through the sine theorem and solved algebraically. A mathematical model is developed about the coverage width and adjacent strips. Then, from the question, we know that we need to solve the modeling differences caused by the different angles of the measuring lines in different directions, i.e., to elevate the two-dimensional problem of solving triangles to a three-dimensional problem of three-dimensional geometry. By finding the angle between the coverage width and the horizontal plane , we know the relationship between it and the angle between the direction of the survey line and the slope angle , so as to establish the model of the coverage width of multibeam bathymetry. Summarized by the verification of the previous conclusions, this paper obtains: when controlling the width of two adjacent survey lines exactly meets the overlap rate of 10% with the previous survey line, and the survey line direction is perpendicular to the seafloor slope in the projection, the measurement length is the shortest at this time. Using the above summary as a constraint, the shortest path is calculated to be 66 nautical miles using the trigonometric method.

Peculiarities of Interbranch Relations of Family Legal Relations

Relevance. One of the problems of family law is the need to distinguish separate groups of family legal relations, which need different variants of interbranch regulation. When searching for solutions to this problem, the author, based on the analysis of legal regulation of family legal relations as a branch of law and the correlation between the norms of family law and norms of other branch affiliation, concludes that it is necessary to distinguish, firstly, family legal relations directly, which are characterized by the dominance of family law norms with limited application of norms of other sectoral affiliation to achieve the goals defined by family law, and, secondly, legal relations, which can be characterized as "complicated" by a family element, in the regulation of which the application of family law provisions is aimed at taking into account the requirements of family law within the framework of legal relations, generally regulated by norms of other branch affiliation.The purpose of the study is to develop theoretical provisions that determine the features of manifestation of interbranch relations of family legal relations at the present stage of development of the legislation of the Russian Federation.Objectives: to identify problems associated with the presence of interbranch relations of family legal relations; to analyze interbranch relations of family legal relations taking into account the peculiarities of the existing sectoral legislative regulation; to propose variants of differentiation of family legal relations by the criterion of dominance in their regulation of norms of family law or norms of other branch affiliation, to determine the directions of further development of legal regulation of the issues under consideration.Methodology. When writing the work used dialectical-materialistic method, system method, methods of analysis and synthesis, formal-legal method.The results of the research are are of theoretical and applied nature and are aimed at improving the quality of legal regulation of family legal relations.The conclusions made in the article are of a discussion nature, aimed at the continuation of research in the framework of the declared subject. The article is a continuation of the author's scientific research on the development of the theory of family legal relations.

The Unstable Subject: Public Constructs and Borderline Personality Disorder

Kelly’s intense focus on personal construing processes is understandable given the aims he put forth when creating personal construct psychology and the socio-cultural context in which his theory arose. Plenty of space remains, however, to elucidate the interaction between public construing processes and personal constructs to the extent that these can be separated in a relational theory such as this one. Previously, this exploration was largely theoretical, and it involved drawing parallels between Kelly and theorists such as Foucault or Bauman. In this paper, the relationship between public and personal systems of constructs is theorized with clinical applications in mind, emphasizing its practical importance as a means of understanding clients and situating their change in a wider social context, while understanding the possibilities and limitations determined by constructs structuring and governing social relations. This paper will attempt to create a new framework for further expansion of Kelly’s theory. A brief clinical vignette will be used to illustrate how this approach reframes borderline personality disorder as a primarily relational issue.

Реформирование системы силовых органов в СССР при Н.С. Хрущеве и его отражение советской интеллигенцией в киноискусстве

This article is devoted to the analysis of the results of reforming the system of law enforcement agencies of the USSR under N. S. Khrushchev, as well as to the understanding of their image by the Soviet intelligentsia in film art. The study expands our knowledge of how the key institutions of the Stalinist socio-political regime (security and law enforcement agencies, judicial and penitentiary systems, as well as the Armed Forces) were disman-tled and modernized in 1953–1964. and what kind of their image was constructed by the Soviet creative intelli-gentsia in cinema, which had a broad impact on the mass consciousness of Soviet people. The study is meth-odologically based on the provisions of institutional theory, the theory of bureaucracy, the theory of civil-military relations and the theory of the new class. The analysis carried out in the work allows us to conclude that the preservation of the system of party leadership of law enforcement agencies, mechanisms for the nomenklatura placement of management personnel and the command-administrative model of management determined the incomplete nature of the modernization of the system of ensuring national security and law enforcement under N. S. Khrushchev. The contradictory nature of Soviet security institutions, in which patriotism and decency coexisted with betrayal and lawlessness, is reflected in cinema.

Critical geopolitics in the era of identitarian populism

The transformation of the current world paradigm is generating new, strong stimuli for geopolitical knowledge. The sharpened geopolitical competition grows from colorful mix of postmodern instruments, modern motivation, premodern and hybrid methods, clearly territorialized and deterritorialized threats, state-centric and diffusion processes. Identitarian populism, which restores the boundaries that have been pushed out of the political space by integration and globalization, is getting in the forefront of geopolitical discourse. In international relations, the clash of identities, their instrumentalization and revival of imperial dreams extend the area of critical geopolitics, which has instruments for exploring geographic permanence of power as well as identity discourse, and whose cognitive apparatus is therefore an attractive analysis tool. The article contributes to a debate about options for greater usability of sub-discipline in the new context, proposes arguments for depoliticization of critical geopolitics in the right-left plane, discusses possibilities for complementary, synthetic deployment of neoclassical and critical geopolitics in exploring new context and argues in favour of even closer cooperation with the international relations theory.

The Linkage Between International Gold Price and Chinese Stock market

Based on the related theory of stock market linkage, this paper uses the Copula model to analyze the correlation between international gold market and the Chinese stock market. The three important nodes of the process of financial and economic internationalization in China are analyzed in stages. According to the results, the correlation between the international gold market and the Chinese stock market is weak in general, when China does not join the WTO, the Chinese stock market and the international gold market are asymptotically independent; with the gradual deepening of China's internationalization process, the tail correlation between the two is gradually increasing.

Interpersonal Communication in Maintaining Marital Harmony : Ethnographic Study of Married Couples Aged 15-20 Years in Bekasi

Being married for 15-20 years is not easy. Various challenges experienced by couples can reduce marital harmony – the importance of good communication between couples to keep the relationship from being damaged. This research uses Relational Maintenance Theory. This qualitative research uses the post-positivism paradigm and ethnographic methods, data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and literature studies. The result of this study is that husband and wife often get differences in how to educate children, communication problems, and differences in character and culture. Communication is the first way couples solve problems, such as continuing to communicate using media when their partner is in a bad mood. Married couples also take several ways to maintain their marital relationship, such as openness, assurance, sharing duties, joint activities, and complementarity and understanding. Interpersonal communication carried out by married couples with a marriage age of 15-20 years is quite good, and they can maintain the harmony of their marriage to date.

How Followers Perceive Local Brands: A Case Study of a Food & Beverage Industry’s Instagram Account

This study analyses a local Surabaya-based cafe and explores its branding through media activity, particularly on Instagram. As Instagram is a widely used social media platform in this day and age, businesses have also tried to expand their reach through said medium. The objective of this research is to find out through this local cafe, whether or not marketing one’s brand (awareness) through Instagram is effective. This is measured through the brand theory and consumer knowledge theory. This research also employs the marketing public relations theory. Data was collected through distributing questionnaires to 110 respondents using purposive random sampling. The questions used in the questionnaire are all based on brand elements as well as factors in consumer knowledge. Based on the researchers’ calculations, the level of knowledge of consumers regarding this local cafe is considered high, thus for this particular cafe, using Instagram as a medium to do marketing communication and increasing brand awareness is considered as effective.

Reversible debugging of concurrent Erlang programs: Supporting imperative primitives

Reversible computing is a programming paradigm allowing one to execute programs both in the standard, forward direction as well as backwards, recovering past states. A relevant application of reversible computing is causal-consistent reversible debugging, which allows one to explore concurrent computations backwards and forwards to find a bug. The basic idea is that any action can be undone, provided that its consequences are undone beforehand. This approach has been put into practice in CauDEr, a Causal-consistent reversible Debugger for the Erlang programming language. CauDEr provides the ability to explore a concurrent computation back and forward in a step-by-step way as well as to undo an action far in the past including all and only its consequences (rollback), and to replay an action from a log, together with its causes. CauDEr supports the functional, concurrent and distributed fragment of Erlang. However, Erlang also includes imperative primitives to manage a map (shared among all the processes of a same node) associating process identifiers to names. Here we extend CauDEr and the related theory, including rollback and replay, to support such imperative primitives. From a theoretical point of view, the imperative primitives create different causal structures to those derived from the concurrent Erlang fragment previously handled in CauDEr, yet we show that the main results proved for previous versions of CauDEr are still valid. From a practical point of view, this allows one to debug a larger subset of Erlang programs, as shown with a small case study of a server providing mathematical functionalities.

Clarification on the understanding of contrast theory in relation to the article "ON and OFF receptive field processing in the presence of optical scattering": comment.

We are writing to address errors of misrepresentation in the article "ON and OFF receptive field processing in the presence of optical scattering" [Biomed. Opt. Express14, 2618 (2023)10.1364/BOE.489117]. In their investigation of predictions of "contrast theory" to explain the efficacy of diffusion optics technology (DOT), a myopia control lens design [Br. J. Ophthalmol.107, 1709 (2023)10.1136/bjo-2021-321005], Breher et al. incorrectly indicated that our contrast theory proposed that the association between cone opsin gene splicing defects and myopia was due to differential involvement in ON- and OFF-visual pathways. In addition, the Authors write that we have "hypothesized enhanced ON contrast sensitivity in myopes," but we predict the opposite.

Are We There Yet? A Global Investigation of Knowledge Inclusion in International Relations Theory Curricula

It is now rather well established that most International Relations (IR) theories are predicated on Western knowledges. This potentially limits their analytical capacity to explain international relations beyond Western ideological values or interests. However, in recent years there has been a substantial increase in scholarship not only critiquing the Western centric nature of International Relations theory but also exploring the contributions that knowledges from the global South make to the field of IR theory. Thus, the status quo is shifting, albeit slowly. Nevertheless, the impact as well as the implication of this shift toward knowledge plurality for the IR theory curricula has not been paid adequate attention. Consequently, this article investigates whether the demand for knowledge plurality in the realm of IR theory research has made inroads into the arena of pedagogy resulting in the generation of knowledge plural IR theory curricula. Moreover, it examines the different choices and interpretations made by educators in endeavouring to create knowledge plural IR theory curricula in various global contexts. Further, it endeavours to discern the factors that have informed and/or shaped respondents’ curricula and pedagogical choices pertaining to the selection, structuring and transmission of IR knowledge at tertiary education institutions in different geographical contexts. Ultimately, it reflects on the implications of the increase in knowledge plural curricula for the development of greater knowledge plurality within the discipline.
