N-ary relation fuzzy-soft set

We introduce in this paper a novel idea (new model) of fuzzy-soft-sets via linking the Binary, Ternary and N-ary relation soft-sets definitions together with the fuzzy-sets definitions for power sets and then arises the novel kinds which are named as (Binary relation, Ternary relation, N-ary relation fuzzy-soft sets), we will denote for them as (B-R-F-S), (T-R-F-S) and (N-R-F-S) resp. , which are more useful and functional to create theoretical and practical works also to make some new studies (new ideas) cutting-edge the fuzzy-soft-set theory. We focus on the main processess on N-ary relation fuzzy-soft-sets and their some basic properties. The new kinds of fuzzy-soft-sets are very advantageous and contributed in some important applications.

Dyadic relations between refugees and volunteers: Support exchange and reciprocity experienced in buddy projects in Flanders, Belgium

Refugees often leave behind perilous journeys to enter Europe and lengthy asylum procedures that jeopardize their long-term integration trajectory. Therefore, adequate and tailored social support by host society members is key. Although classical social support theories are frequently used in the framework of refugee resettlement and integration, they often neglect the influence of intergroup power asymmetries in support exchange. These asymmetries may become very outspoken in civic integration programs promoting supportive social connections via intergroup contact between refugees and local volunteers, such as buddy projects. In this research we study relationship experiences and social support exchange in dyadic interactions between local volunteers and refugees from Middle-Eastern and Eastern-African countries enrolled in buddy projects in Belgium (Flanders). Semi-structured in-depth interviews were done with 7 dyads participating in such projects, resulting in 14 people interviewed (7 volunteers and 7 refugees). The interviews were analyzed using dyadic thematic analysis. We found that volunteers and refugees reported a positive and dynamic relationship, even if it was mainly intended to solve immediate practical or bureaucratic issues and less dedicated to self-disclosure and communal exchanges. As volunteers were intent on providing practical, material, and informational support to refugees, such as aiding with administrative paperwork, translations, and liaise with service providers, little room was left for reciprocity in the exchange of emotional support. The latter form of support, when present, was expressed through active listening, emotional sharing, and through the acts of eating together and dialoguing about cultural differences. Asymmetries in support exchange and limited reciprocity were embedded in power imbalances inherent to the relational context, further exacerbated by other important factors, such as a lack of organizational support and gaps in the integration system. To conclude, we provide recommendations for organizational actors and policy makers on how to promote reciprocity in support exchange to rebalance the asymmetric relationship between refugees and volunteers, thus facilitating mutual accommodation in buddy projects.

On the Effect of Reciprocal Dyadic Relations on the Share of Lexical Practices

Abstract Variationist studies have shown the implication of tie properties in the emergence and preservation of linguistic norms. This contribution deepens the understanding of this mechanism at the dyadic level. It explores relational subjectivity and relativity among individuals of a community and their implications in the distribution of lexical variants. The aim is to understand how the reciprocity of a relation influences the share of lexical practices. To do so, we analyze the network of discussions of bachelor's degree students of the University of Geneva and their lexical practices. Using the modern methods used in social network analysis to study relational properties and by running multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure (MRQAP), reciprocal interactions are found to lead to a higher lexical share and similarity.

THE POLYPEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPLE OF TEACHING BY ANTONIO SALIERI AND THE MODERN UNDERSTANDING OF POLYPEDAGOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS

The article deals with the polypedagogical principle of Antonio Salieri's education in the context of the modern understanding of the polypedagogical reality, its phenomenality, and its unique features. The author examines modern trends in the formation of polypedagogical reality, the point of view of scientists on scientific approaches to the description of pedagogical reality. In the context of the works of representatives of artistic pedagogy, the polypedagogical principle in the teaching activity of Antonio Salieri is analyzed. It provided for the ability of one teacher to teach students to play an instrument, vocals, composition, solfeggio, harmony, instrumentation, music theory, polyphony, heterophony, homophony, the basics of counterpoint, and conducting. In the modern plane of «polypedagogical interaction» (work with a student group of several teachers), the main problems for musicians arise when several teachers work with groups (with a choir or an orchestra, where students of the first and second levels of higher education are trained). Such a situation simply cannot pass without a certain number of socio-psychological dilemmas - the problem of the psychological compatibility of teachers (individual-personal, psychophysiological, didactic), the problem of the compatibility of the technologies of these teachers and their teaching styles, the issue of the interaction of the leaders of educational groups with their participants and among themselves. The article shows optimal ways that require the teacher's moral responsibility and moral readiness for "subject-subject" and "subject-object-subject" interactions in large groups. In the context of dyadic and frontal relations between the teacher and students, the author proved that Antonio Salieri, who was uniquely able to coordinate and establish positive relations with the students who studied under him, quickly and simply gained authority, caused sympathy, sincere love among the students, the desire to be like him, to consider him a role model.

Ruptures or Disruption: Identity Diffusion and the Therapeutic Relationship

In the psychotherapy of personality disorders, the limitations of the self and of interpersonal functioning that underlie all personality pathology are both a main treatment focus and a major obstacle in doing so. These limitations are most intensely manifested within the primary aspect of the psychotherapeutic relationship. The core of personality disorders–identity diffusion–refers to a self, tormented by insignificance and annihilation, and by disconnectedness and mistrust. The infant will have internalized a mental state called the alien self that persists alongside an agentive self. This split leads to two domains of primitive dyadic object relations: one dominated by projection of epistemic yearning onto an idealized object, the other by projection of self-rejection onto a demonized object. The therapist remains an alien object in this way, making cooperation within therapy momentarily or even structurally impossible, with a negative impact on the working relationship, and a greater role of the realistic relationship.

LGBTQIA+ sex work in the time of Covid 19

This report extrapolates how gender, sexuality and the law intersect for queer and trans sex workers, within the conditions of the Covid-19 global health crisis. It reports on the outcomes of legal policy as they were adopted during the pandemic and examines which is the most damaging: the lack of legal rights, the criminalisation, or the dyadic relation of the two.

The EU’s interactions with formal intergovernmental organizations: a big data analysis of news media

ABSTRACT Interactions between the EU and IGOs ˗ such as joint statements, verbal public disagreements, formal cooperation agreements, and IGO dispute resolution involving the EU ˗ have increased in the past decades. We address the question What determines the EU’s interactions with formal IGOs? by carrying out a big data-based sentiment analysis of all news published online between 1999 and 2017. Using over 30,000 events machine-coded by the Global Data Event Language and Tone (GDELT) database, we construct an annual measure for the dyadic relations between the EU and 36 formal IGOs. We find that when the EU has observer or member status in an IGO, this significantly and positively affects the quantity of interactions, while increasing the level of conflict in these interactions. Policy overlap between the EU and the IGO also increases the level of conflict in their interactions. Surprisingly, IGO authority is not relevant for these interactions.

The dyadic utility space and the interaction – utility matrix: how individual goal-setting determines realizable utilities in dyadic relations

PurposeThe paper analyzes how the goal-setting of two individuals or social units A and B determines the utilities, which the two parties can gain in a dyadic interaction.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is based on a dyadic utility space representing the utilities of A and B along the x and y axis, respectively. In this space the goal-orientation of an individual action is mapped with a vector, where its angle shows the combination of utilities of A and B aimed at, and the length corresponds to the strength of an action.FindingsAnalyzing actions of A and responses of B in the dyadic utility space allows (a) calculating single and joint utilities, (b) identifying the narrow range of equal utility for both and (c) identifying four vectors for maximizing different combinations of utility. Studying combinations of these four vectors in a 4 × 4 ‘Interaction - Utility Matrix’ shows how the goal-setting of A for a prime action widely predetermines, before a response of B, the realizable dyadic utility for both.Practical implicationsThe dyadic utility space allows illustrating any dyadic interaction: It shows all possible dyadic “payoffs” investigated in game theory; it allows studying repeated exchange and resulting accumulation of utility; it allows mapping power relations.Originality/valueThe paper shows the interrelation between cybernetic principles of control, goal-orientated human behavior and the utility concept of social sciences. And it allows rejecting Adam Smith’s 18th myth of an “invisible hand”.

Desert is a dyadic relation

Abstract The orthodox view of the metaphysics of desert is that desert is a triadic relation that obtains between a subject, an object and a desert base. Not only is this view lacking in motivation, but conceiving of the desert base as part of the desert relation renders the concept of desert incoherent. Instead, desert should be thought of as a dyadic relation between a subject and an object, where desert bases are simply the grounds for dyadic desert facts.

Euclid after Computer Proof-Checking

Euclid pioneered the concept of a mathematical theory developed from axioms by a series of justified proof steps. From the outset there were critics and improvers. In this century the use of computers to check proofs for correctness sets a new standard of rigor. How does Euclid stand up under such an examination? And what does the exercise have to teach us about geometry, mathematical foundations, and the relation of logic to truth?

Examining the Reciprocity in Dyadic Teacher-Child Relationships: One-With-Many Multilevel Design

Recent literature has shown the reciprocal influences of teacher-student relationships for both teachers and students in primary school. When it comes to early childhood education, very few studies have examined the level and the nature of agreement between teachers’ and students’ perceptions for their dyadic relationships. Using the one-with-many model (OWM), a dyadic analysis approach, the present study aims to examine the degree of agreement between teachers’ and students’ perceptions about their dyadic relations. The Student-Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS) and the Child Appraisal of the Relationship with the Teacher Scale (CARTS) are used to assess the quality of teacher–student dyadic relationships from teachers’ and students’ perceptions, respectively. The dyadic sample (N = 1,345 teacher-student dyads) is recruited from 168 preschool classrooms in Greece. Results of the OWM analysis showed that teachers and students evaluated their dyadic relationship quality in a different way and there is no reciprocity in their views. Implications of the study’s results are also discussed.

Understanding dyadic promoter-stakeholder relations in complex projects

In this study, we propose a Bilateral Double Motive framework of stakeholder cooperation in complex projects. The framework analyses and explains dyadic promoter-stakeholder relationships at a micro level by acknowledging both transactional and relational motives. We demonstrate the framework’s usefulness by illustrating its explanatory power in two instances of cooperation and two of non-cooperation within two health information technology projects. The study contributes to project management theory through its combined focus on transactional and relational motives. Further, the study contributes to practice by providing a tool for planning and evaluating cooperation in health Information Technology projects and similar complex multi-stakeholder environments.

Dyadic analysis and the reciprocal one-with-many model: Extending the study of interpersonal processes with intensive longitudinal data.

Newly available data streams from experience sampling studies and social media are providing new opportunities to study individuals' dyadic relations. The "one-with-many" (OWM) model (Kenny et al., 2006; Kenny & Winquist, 2001) was specifically constructed for and is used to examine features of multiple dyadic relationships that one set of focal persons (e.g., therapists, physicians) has with others (e.g., multiple clients, multiple patients). Originally, the OWM model was constructed for and applied to cross-sectional data. However, the model can be extended to accommodate and may be particularly useful for the analysis of intensive repeated measures data now being obtained through experience sampling and social media. This article (a) provides a practical tutorial on fitting the OWM model, (b) describes how the OWM model is extended for analysis of repeated measures data, and (c) illustrates application of the OWM model using reports about interpersonal behavior and benefits individuals experienced in 64,111 social interactions during 9 weeks of study (N = 150). Our presentation highlights the utility of the OWM model for examining interpersonal processes in everyday life. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

Third party stabilization of unstable coordination in systems of coupled oscillators

The Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) system of equations is a well-developed model for dyadic rhythmic coordination in biological systems. It captures ubiquitous empirical observations of bistability – the coexistence of in-phase and antiphase motion – in neural, behavioral, and social coordination. Recent work by Zhang and colleagues has generalized HKB to many oscillators to account for new empirical phenomena observed in multiagent interaction. Utilising this generalization, the present work examines how the coordination dynamics of a pair of oscillators can be augmented by virtue of their coupling to a third oscillator. We show that stable antiphase coordination emerges in pairs of oscillators even when their coupling parameters would have prohibited such coordination in their dyadic relation. We envision two lines of application for this theoretical work. In the social sciences, our model points toward the development of intervention strategies to support coordination behavior in heterogeneous groups (for instance in gerontology, when younger and older individuals interact). In neuroscience, our model will advance our understanding of how the direct functional connection of mesoscale or microscale neural ensembles might be switched by their changing coupling to other neural ensembles. Our findings illuminate a crucial property of complex systems: how the whole is different than the system’s parts.

Indifference to symmetry in Hrushovski's ab initio construction

Denote Hrushovski's non-collapsed ab initio construction for an n-ary relation by M≁ and the analogous construction for a symmetric n-ary relation by M∼. We show that M≁ is isomorphic to a proper reduct of M∼ and vice versa, and that the combinatorial pregeometries associated with both structures are isomorphic.

The “Nested” Power of TNCs: Smallholders’ Biggest Challenge

The plight of smallholder farmers vis-à-vis their highly concentrated input providers and distributors is well known. This article highlights the embeddedness of dyadic power relations within broader economic, political, and social institutions governing the relations between transnational corporations (TNCs) and smallholders. It provides a Gramscian gaze into the deep roots of TNCs in the neoliberal historic bloc and argues that challenging the power of the TNCs requires a comprehensive strategy that goes much beyond the capacity of smallholders. It requires a broad-based popular movement crossing the North-South divide.
