Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to enrich the finding by Aguinis et al. (2018) that there is little overlap between the extremes of firm performance and the extremes of CEO pay using a novel approach to characterize the distribution of pay and performance. The authors aim to shift the focus of compensation researchers from fruitlessly trying to link pay to performance to theory-rich accounts of pay that take into consideration the idiosyncratically motivated and socially embedded nature of CEO compensation. Design/methodology/approach The authors’ approach in this commentary is conceptual. They synthesize compensation literature from different fields such as economics, finance, sociology, strategic management and corporate law, as well as the empirical findings from the focal paper to support their characterization of the current state of the literature and future directions it should take. Findings The authors synthesize discussion of CEO pay down to three dimensions of CEO responsibilities and motivations. They argue that a realistic pay design should take into account that CEOs have limited control over performance, they are accountable to multiple stakeholders and they are motivated by financial as well as nonfinancial incentives. Originality/value The commentary presents researchers with high-order framing of CEO pay that goes beyond debating over methodology or narrowly focusing on limited behavioral drivers of pay setting. Instead, the authors encourage researchers to take advantage of their three-legged framework to theorize about CEO pay.

Abstract:

AbstractThe article takes the open ending of ›Parzival‹ as its point of departure. It analyses information about the expansion of the grail community: The grail is at the heart of a hidden take-over of world domination. This idea originates in the military orders. In ›Parzival‹, it is associated with an eschatological perspective. However, Wolfram obscures the beginning of the eschaton, just as he obscures the topographical location of Munsalvaesche. The idea of world domination goes back to the Third Crusade and the role of Frederick Barbarossa. It can be assumed that Wolfram had direct contact with men who had taken part in the campaign. His conception of the grail can be traced to the Black Stone of the Kaaba, to which it constitutes a Christian counterpart.

Abstract:

The article deals with functional-stylistic features of the modern scientific text. The categorical features of the scientific style are described. The authors of the article note that the style of scientific literature has changed significantly over the past 30-50 years under the influence of sociolinguistic factors and the scope of use of scientific and technical terminology is significantly expanding. The urgency of the problem, despite the great tradition of studying this issue in Ukrainian and foreign linguistics, is shown.

Abstract:

Teaching Arthurian literature affords a perhaps rare opportunity for medieval specialists to use the medium of film to interest undergraduate students in a period that is otherwise often considered foreign to their cultural world or concerns. The significant number of Arthurian films in the twentieth century reflects the continuous appeal of the Arthurian legend, a legend whose survival can be attributed to its adaptability, shifting throughout the centuries between elite and popular cultures, and disseminated in different forms through visual, oral and textual traditions. While there has always been a ludic dimension to Arthurian tradition, one postmedieval comedic portrayal of Arthur and his knights, Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, has had a significant impact on how Arthurian material has been adapted on the silver screen. One possible consequence of Twain's comic vision and its early transposition into the newly emerging film medium is that, while Bresson's brooding tale of Arthurian ennui may be the hallmark of the twentieth-century cinematic Arthurian corpus, the film that has come to represent the Round Table's cinematic incarnation in the minds of the generations that now fill the postsecondary classroom is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a comic masterpiece that embodies the spirit of Twain's dismissive coinage, "holy grailing." Student enthusiasm for Monty Python's film contrasts with the noticeably more restrained stance of scholarly opinion which, while rarely omitting to mention the film's existence in discussions of cinematic Arthuriana, has relatively little to say about the actual film. Part of the reason Monty Python's medieval film has not received as much scrutiny as it deserves from medievalists is because it can be perceived as being preoccupied with its own cinematic form. The ubiquity of Kevin J. Harty's comment that Python's film is "not so much a send-up of the Arthurian legend, as it is a send-up of other film versions of that legend" has perhaps refracted scholarly attention away from precisely how Monty Python does deal with a legend which the film itself presents as distinctly literary. By redirecting our attention to the literary scaffolding around which Monty Python and the Holy Grail is built, Arthurian scholars can encounter the hermeneutic dynamism of this film, a quality which also recommends the film as a pedagogical tool.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to address the question – is heritage interpretation an effective tool in tourism? Design/methodology/approach – The author takes a critical stance seeking to identify and evaluate key assumptions and questions about the nature and effectiveness of heritage interpretation as a tourism management tool. Findings – There are significant gaps in the available research into interpretation and in those areas that have been studied, there is only limited evidence that interpretation is effective. There are few important findings in this area and even where there are some sound and useful conclusions, they still do not address some of the more fundamental concerns about interpretation more broadly. Research limitations/implications – The paper identifies a set of topics for future research based on the outcomes of the review and consideration of the critiques of interpretation that could be used to improve and extend interpretation in tourism. Originality/value – By taking a critical perspective on interpretation and questioning the untested and implicit assumptions about the nature and role of this activity within tourism, the paper identifies issues relevant to the conduct of tourism research more generally that have been given little attention in the academic literature to date.

Abstract:

AbstractArt (and, as a part of it, also literature) is frequently seen as a substitute for religion, a perspective that dates back to the Romantic era. The article takes a look at the possible reasons, using the Perceval/Parzival/Parsifal material as an example. It argues that the difference between a text accepted as religious truth and a fictional literary text can not be found in the texts themselves, but depends on the function assigned to them by social resp. theological authority. The closeness of literature and religion is, it can be supposed, largely due to using the same media. Despite the fact that transcendent topics seem to further interchange, content is secondary to function. In differentiated modern societies due to the absence of central dogmatic authority literary motives can serve as a basis for religious cult. The Grail-Movement that draws on different strands of the Parzival tradition, but especially on Richard Wagner's Parsifal, serves to demonstrate this.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the subject-language integrated approach (CLIL), which is currently characterized in the world scientific and methodological literature as one of the innovative approaches to the organization of bilingual education and involves the simultaneous implementation of two learning goals in two subject areas – language and subject; various interpretations of its essence are presented, its varieties, possibilities and features of implementation in bilingual education are highlighted through the application of its basic principles and strategies. The role of the subject-language integrated teaching of students of non-linguistic specialties of higher educational institutions is discussed. The article describes the content and language integrated learning from the point of view of modern methods of foreign languages teaching. The main features of the teachers’ of profile subjects work as well as teachers of foreign languages in the system of subject-language integrated teaching are considered. Models and peculiarities of using CLIL methodology in a higher educational institution are given.

Abstract:

Abstract Showing the causal link between community engagement and improved health outcomes is a ‘holy grail’ of health policy. This article argues that this ‘holy grail’ has remained elusive because community engagement in primary health care is under-theorized, having been based on positive a priori assumptions, e.g. that people necessarily want to be engaged in governing their health system. By adopting a theory-driven approach and an agnostic premise, we show that understanding why, how and when community engagement may emerge or function spontaneously is important for informing efforts to support community engagement in primary health care primary health care governance. We draw on empirical research on community engagement in Nigeria and on the literature to identify the ‘why’ (coalition of service users can emerge in response to under-governance); the ‘how’ (five modes: through meetings; reaching out within their community; lobbying governments; augmenting government support; and taking control of service delivery) and the ‘when’ (as geographical, socio-economic and institutional context align, such that the benefits of action outweigh costs). Understanding the broad patterns of mechanisms and of contextual factors that apply across communities is, after all, our ‘holy grail’—and this understanding should inform efforts to tailor support for community engagement in governance in different settings.

Full text

Abstract:

Codification seems to be coming back into vogue in Great Britain, especially in Wales and in Scotland as a result of devolution and a related (if possibly temporary) surge in nationalism. Using Germany as a comparator, we argue that a codification renaissance should be met with caution. By examining German literature on the history of codification, it can be seen that codification is a difficult transplant in Great Britain. In any event, the German experience shows that codification is no panacea. Furthermore, when it comes to codification, we are quite literally speaking a different language to continental lawyers. Codifying statutes, more achievable in the British jurisdictions than larger, continental-style codes, reflect a peculiarly British style of codification, but risk being the compromise that pleases nobody. A patchwork of substantive reform, consolidation and restatement is proposed as a more suitable domestic solution.

Full text

Abstract:

Since its introduction, e-cigarettes have evoked strongly opposed views and much passion from both proponents and opponents. The proponents of e-cigarettes view the product as an effective smoking cessation tool and a potential savior for millions of smokers. They argue that the vapor based system in e-cigarettes is a much safer mode of nicotine delivery than the combustion system in conventional cigarettes. Opponents view it as a product that at best introduces new bad habits, renormalizes smoking and may even serve as a gateway to smoking in non-smokers. The existing body of literature on the issue, while impressive, is far from conclusive. There is much more to be determined about e-cigarettes before informed decisions can be made about their safety and effectiveness. This article intends to summarize and analyze the scientific arguments raised from both perspectives on e-cigarettes.

Abstract:

Aguinis and Glavas (2013) offer a new attempt to explain the consistently weak but consistently inconsistent findings regarding the relationship of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to financial performance. Like many others writing in the field, Aguinis and Glavas appear to believe that further efforts to categorize types of CSR will somehow identify CSR forms that are financially rewarding. In this response, I challenge four assumptions underlying the Aguinis and Glavas manuscript: (a) that CSR has received little attention in the micro literature; (b) that CSR can be meaningfully conceptualized and operationalized; (c) that a continued search for the “holy grail” of a CSR–financial performance link is likely to be fruitful; and (d) that the “peripheral–embedded” distinction is useful and appropriate.

Abstract:

Computerized and blended treatments seem to be an attractive treatment for adolescents as an alternative to face-to-face treatment, but mental health professionals seem hesitant to use these treatment modalities. This review provides an overview of factors contributing to and withholding from using computerized or blended treatment in routine care. Three databases were searched with terms related to (1) adolescents, (2) depression, (3) computerized or blended, and (4) treatment. Of the 33 articles identified, 10 focused on unguided computerized treatments, six on guided, two on blended, two compared unguided, blended- and face-to-face treatment to no treatment, and eight studies on games. Further, two articles that were focused on an online monitoring tool and three on intervention characteristics or preferred modes of help-seeking. Evidence for effectiveness, adherence, drop-out, and forming therapeutic relations were suspected to be barriers, but are no reason to reject computerized or blended treatment. Improvement in mental health literacy and the possibility to tailor the intervention are facilitators. However, adolescents’ intention to seek help, acceptability of computerized treatment, symptom severity, time spent by therapist, and other facilities are identified as barriers and they need to be taken into account when using computerized or blended interventions. Nevertheless, computerized and blended are promising treatments for depressed youth.

Abstract:

Abstract Since Willi Marxsen’s break with the consensus view that the Gospel of Mark was most probably written in Rome, the question of provenance has played a crucial role in discussions of Mark’s purpose. While several researchers (most notably Dwight Peterson) have pointed out how using provenance as the hermeneutical key to Mark may involve a risk of circular reasoning, recent contributions have tied discussions of Mark’s purpose ever more tightly to the question of where the gospel was written. After outlining these recent research developments, this article argues for an alternative way of handling the question of Mark’s provenance, one that emphasizes how the major themes of Mark’s gospel touch upon longstanding issues within Second Temple Judaism, which means that a particular provenance is not needed as a hermeneutical crutch for establishing Mark’s purpose.

Emergence, the idea that in some sense more comes out of a system than was put in, is the holy grail of generative art. Yet emergence is a slippery concept. Originating in the philosophy of science, it has been taken up in systems theory, cognitive science and Artificial Life. As a consequence there are numerous definitions of emergence in the literature, but none well-suited to discussions of generative art. The paper reviews some existing definitions and proposes a new definition of generative-art emergence.

The fascination of revolutions is one shared by the worlds of scholarship and art and literature alike. For the latter, revolutions appear to hold out hope that a new order will sweep aside the decay, oppression and corruption they perceive as omnipresent in society. For the former, revolutions come tantalizingly close to the holy grail sought by social scientists for two hundred years, offering sequences of events and patterns of interaction that share sufficient similarities across continents and centuries to suggest the possibility of a true science of human affairs, including predictive hypotheses.

Abstract:

Twin studies are well known for their value in quantifying the contribution of genes to population variation in behaviors and personality traits. Twin studies also provide a unique opportunity to untangle the contribution of environmental experiences to emotional and behavioral development. This is particularly true when examining monozygotic (MZ) twins since they represent a pair of individuals naturally matched on both their genetic background and their shared environment, thus allowing the identification of environmental experiences unique to each twin which may impact developmental outcome. This article presents two analytical strategies based on the discordant MZ-twin method. It stresses the power of this method to establish plausible causal pathways between environmental factors and developmental outcomes, and provides examples from the socio-developmental literature to illustrate its application. It also describes the limitations of this method and its requirements for optimal utilization.

Abstract:

Background: Bioavailability, one of the prime pharmacokinetic properties of a drug, is defined as the fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug that reaches the systemic circulation and is used to describe the systemic availability of a drug. Bioavailability assessment is imperative in order to demonstrate whether the drug attains the desirable systemic exposure for effective therapy. In recent years, bioavailability has become the subject of importance in drug discovery and development studies. Methods: A systematic literature review in the field of bioavailability and the approaches towards its enhancement have been comprehensively done, purely focusing upon recent papers. The data mining was performed using databases like PubMed, Science Direct and general Google searches and the collected data was exhaustively studied and summarized in a generalized manner. Results: The main prospect of this review was to generate a comprehensive one-stop summary of the numerous available approaches and their pharmaceutical applications in improving the stability concerns, physicochemical and mechanical properties of the poorly water-soluble drugs which directly or indirectly augment their bioavailability. Conclusion: The use of novel methods, including but not limited to, nano-based formulations, bio-enhancers, solid dispersions, lipid-and polymer-based formulations which provide a wide range of applications not only increases the solubility and permeability of the poorly bioavailable drugs but also improves their stability, and targeting efficacy. Although, these methods have drastically changed the pharmaceutical industry demand for the newer potential methods with better outcomes in the field of pharmaceutical science to formulate various dosage forms with adequate systemic availability and improved patient compliance, further research is required.

Abstract:

Resumen: Además de entretenimiento, la materia artúrica hispánica es un vehículo de contenidos ideológicos y religiosos, y un instrumento privilegiado de instrucción moral de la nobleza. Este trabajo define y analiza algunas dimensiones relevantes de la ética caballeresca que propone el ciclo en prosa como modelo cortesano, centrando la atención en dos escenarios preferentes de la cortesía –el combate y el consejo del soberano– como reguladora de la acción militar y del poder real. Desde el punto de vista narratológico, la cortesía en el combate define la nobleza y valor de los personajes, y provoca nuevas líneas de acción. Un espíritu deportivo cortés y unas normas codificadas restringen la violencia empleada en el afán de proeza. El consejo muestra el derecho de los ricoshombres de la corte a ofrecer orientación al rey, avalados por los lazos del linaje y del vasallaje, lo que supone una restricción efectiva del poder soberano en los asuntos que afectan al reino.Palabras clave: Literatura artúrica, Santo Grial, Cortesía, Ética, Motivos caballerescos, Torneo.Abstract: Besides entertainment, the Hispanic Arthurian literature is a vehicle of ideological and religious contents, and a privileged instrument of moral instruction of the nobility. This work defines and analyzes some relevant dimensions of the chivalrous ethics in the cycle in prose as a model of Courtesy, centring the attention on two preferential scenes –the combat, and the council of the sovereign– focused on regulating the military action and the king’s power. From the point of narratologic view, the Courtesy in the combat defines the nobility and the value of the characters, and causes new lines of action. The desire of prowess is limited by the sportsmanship and a few of regulated limits. The Council shows the right of the nobles of the king’s household to provide guidance to the king, supported by the lineage links and of the vassalage, which means an effective restriction of the sovereign power in the kingdom matters.Keywords: Arthurian Literature, Holy Grail, Courtesy, Ethics, Motifs of Chivalry, Tournament.

Abstract:

Abstract Medieval German literature had a deeper impact on Thomas Mann than is typically assumed. The comparison between Wolfram’s von Eschenbach Parzival and Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain illustrates this influence. Nearly 700 years separate both novels, nevertheless, they show amazing parallels. Especially as their narrators are very much alike. Both appear exposed in their stories, utilise Wolfram’s Bogengleichnis, and are unreliable. In addition, they both reflect on their narrations as literary constructs. While Wolfram’s narrator defends his protagonist Parzival for his misdeeds Mann does not bother to do so for Hans Castorp. The heroes and other characters are comparable, but develop differently. Parzival gains knowledge and his identity, whereas Hans Castorp loses both. Parzival fails his first encounter with the grail. Castorp, in contrast, wins a deep insight into life in his Schneetraum; but forgets it immediately. Castorp is as foolish as Parzival when he begins his journey. He is, however, not a grail-quester although Howard Nemerov concludes this in his 1939 dissertation. Yet, the Magic Mountain seems strongly influenced by Parzival. But while the characters in Parzival seek to help the central protagonist, egoism is predominant in the Magic Mountain, the hero stagnates and fails to successfully finish the hero’s journey.

Abstract:

Diabetes can be managed by careful monitoring of blood glucose and timely delivery of exogenous insulin. However, even with fastidious compliance, people with diabetes can suffer from numerous complications including atherosclerosis, retinopathy, neuropathy, and kidney disease. This is because delivery of exogenous insulin coupled with glucose monitoring cannot provide the fine level of glucose control normally provided by endogenous β-cells in the context of intact islets. Moreover, a subset of people with diabetes lack awareness of hypoglycemic events; a status that can have grave consequences. Therefore, much effort has been focused on replacing lost or dysfunctional β-cells with cells derived from other sources. The advent of stem cell biology and cellular reprogramming strategies have provided impetus to this work and raised hopes that a β-cell replacement therapy is on the horizon. In this review, we look at two components that will be required for successful β-cell replacement therapy: a reliable and safe source of β-cells and a mechanism by which such cells can be delivered and protected from host immune destruction. Particular attention is paid to insulin-producing cells derived from pluripotent stem cells because this platform addresses the issue of scale, one of the more significant hurdles associated with potential cell-based therapies. We also review methods for encapsulating transplanted cells, a technique that allows grafts to evade immune attack and survive for a long term in the absence of ongoing immunosuppression. In surveying the literature, we conclude that there are still several substantial hurdles that need to be cleared before a stem cell-based β-cell replacement therapy for diabetes becomes a reality.
