Full textAbstract:
A lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is utilized to solve single-phase transient flow in pipes. In order to eliminate grid limitation related to the method of characteristics, governing equations are modified using appropriate coordinate transformation. The introduced modification removes connection between Courant number and spatial disposition of the computational nodes, forming a more flexible and robust mathematical base for numerical simulations. The computational grid is configured independently of the wave speed, significantly decreasing the demand for computational resources and maintaining the required accuracy of the method. Thereafter, the appropriate equilibrium distribution function for the D1Q3 lattice has been defined. In order to give a comprehensive base for modeling transient flow in complex pipeline systems, detailed elaboration of the corresponding boundary conditions has been given. Two benchmark problems with the corresponding error analysis are used to validate the proposed procedure.

In this study, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is implemented through a finite-volume approach to perform 2D, incompressible, and time-accurate fluid flow analyses on structured grids. Compared to the standard LBM (the so-called stream and collide scheme), the finite-volume approach followed in this study necessitates more computational effort, but the major limitations of the former on grid uniformity and Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) number that is to be one are removed. Even though these improvements pave the way for the possibility of solving more practical fluid flow problems with the LBM, time-accurate simulations are still restricted due to the stability criteria dictated by high-aspect ratio grid cells that are usually required for adequate resolution of boundary layers and the stiffness due to the nature of the equation that are being solved. To overcome this limitation, a Dual Time Stepping (DTS) scheme, which iterates the solution in pseudo time using an Implicit-Explicit (IMEX) Runge–Kutta method while advancing the solution in physical time with an explicit scheme (backward difference formula), is developed and implemented. The accuracy of the resulting flow solver is evaluated using benchmark flow problems and overall second-order accuracy is demonstrated.

Abstract. ATLAS is a new global Lagrangian Chemistry and Transport Model (CTM), which includes a stratospheric chemistry scheme with 46 active species, 171 reactions, heterogeneous chemistry on polar stratospheric clouds and a Lagrangian denitrification module. Lagrangian (trajectory-based) models have several important advantages over conventional Eulerian models, including the absence of spurious numerical diffusion, efficient code parallelization and no limitation of the largest time step by the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy criterion. This work describes and validates the stratospheric chemistry scheme of the model. Stratospheric chemistry is simulated with ATLAS for the Arctic winter 1999/2000, with a focus on polar ozone depletion and denitrification. The simulations are used to validate the chemistry module in comparison with measurements of the SOLVE/THESEO 2000 campaign. A Lagrangian denitrification module, which is based on the simulation of the nucleation, sedimentation and growth of a large number of polar stratospheric cloud particles, is used to model the substantial denitrification that occured in this winter.

We developed a three-dimensional unstructured grid coastal and estuarine circulation model, named the General Ocean Model (GOM). Combining the finite volume and finite difference methods, GOM achieved both the exact conservation and computational efficiency. The propagation term was implemented by a semi-implicit numerical scheme, the so-called θ scheme, and the time-explicit Eulerian–Lagrangian method was used to discretize the nonlinear advection term to remove the major limitation of the time step, which appears when solving shallow water equations, by the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy stability condition. Because the GOM uses orthogonal unstructured computational grids, allowing both triangular and quadrilateral grids, considerable flexibility to resolve complex coastal boundaries is allowed without any transformation of governing equations. The GOM was successfully verified with five analytical solutions, and it was also validated when applied to the Texas coast, showing an overall skill value of 0.951. The verification results showed that the algorithm used in GOM was correctly coded, and it is efficient and robust.

Abstract. We present a new global Chemical Transport Model (CTM) with full stratospheric chemistry and Lagrangian transport and mixing called ATLAS (Alfred Wegener InsTitute LAgrangian Chemistry/Transport System). Lagrangian (trajectory-based) models have several important advantages over conventional Eulerian (grid-based) models, including the absence of spurious numerical diffusion, efficient code parallelization and no limitation of the largest time step by the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy criterion. The basic concept of transport and mixing is similar to the approach in the commonly used CLaMS model. Several aspects of the model are different from CLaMS and are introduced and validated here, including a different mixing algorithm for lower resolutions which is less diffusive and agrees better with observations with the same mixing parameters. In addition, values for the vertical and horizontal stratospheric bulk diffusion coefficients are inferred and compared to other studies. This work focusses on the description of the dynamical part of the model and the validation of the mixing algorithm. The chemistry module, which contains 49 species, 170 reactions and a detailed treatment of heterogeneous chemistry, will be presented in a separate paper.

The work presented here shows that the natural frequencies of constrained systems may be obtained from asymptotic models of corresponding systems where the constraints are replaced by artificial mass or moment of inertia of very large positive and negative values. This offers a convenient alternative to the current practice of using artificial elastic restraints of large stiffness, a concept introduced by Courant in 1943, to remove a limitation on the choice of admissible functions. Recent publications show that in order to control the error caused by approximating constraints with restraints of large stiffness, it is necessary to use both positive and negative stiffness values. However, the negative stiffness introduces instability near the lower modes of vibration and the magnitude of negative stiffness parameter used must be greater than the highest critical stiffness to ensure bounded results are obtained. The use of positive and negative artificial inertial parameters overcomes this problem as they do not introduce instability near the lower modes, allowing the natural frequencies of constrained systems to be delimited to any desired accuracy.

Abstract. Time domain simulations for high-frequency applications are widely dominated by the leapfrog timeintegration scheme. Especially in combination with the spatial discretization approach of the Finite Integration Technique (FIT) it leads to a highly efficient explicit simulation method, which in the special case of Cartesian grids can be regarded to be computationally equivalent to the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) algorithm. For stability reasons, however, the leapfrog method is restricted to a maximum stable time step by the well-known Courantcriterion, and can not be applied to most low-frequency applications. Recently, some alternative, unconditionally stable techniques have been proposed to overcome this limitation, including the Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI)-method. We analyze such schemes using a transient modal decomposition of the electric fields. It is shown that stability alone is not sufficient to guarantee correct results, but additionally important conservation properties have to be met. Das Leapfrog-Verfahren ist ein weit verbreitetes Zeitintegrationsverfahren für transiente hochfrequente elektrodynamischer Felder. Kombiniert mit dem räumlichen Diskretisierungsansatz der Methode der Finiten Integration (FIT) führt es zu einer sehr effizienten, expliziten Simulationsmethode, die im speziellen Fall kartesischer Rechengitter als äquivalent zur Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Methode anzusehen ist. Aus Stabilitätsgründen ist dabei die Zeitschrittweite durch das bekannte Courant-Kriterium begrenzt, so dass das Leapfrog- Verfahren für niederfrequente Probleme nicht sinnvoll angewendet werden kann. In den letzten Jahren wurden alternativ einige andere explizite oder “halb-implizite" Zeitbereichsverfahren vorgeschlagen, u.a. das “Alternating Direction Implicit" (ADI)-Verfahren, die keiner Beschränkung des Zeitschritts aus Stabilitätsgründen unterliegen. Es zeigt sich aber, dass auch diese Methoden im niederfrequenten Fall nicht zu sinnvollen Simulationsergebnissen führen. Wie anhand einer transienten Modalanalyse der elektrischen Felder in einem einfachen 2D-Beispiel deutlich wird, ist die Ursache dafür die Verletzung wichtiger physikalischer Erhaltungseigenschaften durch ADI und verwandte Methoden.

Les lois hauteur-débit obtenues sont comparées à Coachs. Cette démarche montre que la gamme des diamètres peut être étendue aux Ø100 et Ø800, les débords et les obstacles ont peu d’impact. En revanche, une canalisation non perpendiculaire à la paroi de la chambre a un impact significatif sur la loi h/Q du fait de la déformation de la section mouillée et des lignes de courants à l’engouffrement.

The aim of this article is to develop a distinction between two types of courage in Hegel?s philosophy: political and world-historical, in order to show the limitations of the former. The concept of political courage, or Tapferkeit, features in Hegel?s political philosophy, and signifies the wartime form of mutual trust required of the modern citizen for defense of an established constitution. World-historical courage, on the other hand, relates to the personal virtue of the ?great individual?, which acts as a force of destruction against decaying constitutions. The article shows that political courage for Hegel serves as an alternative to the idea of the contract as the foundation of state unity. However, when placed in comparison with world-historical courage, political courage does not fully correspond to its concept as defined by Hegel. I begin with Hegel?s critique of Hobbes, his rejection of the social contract theory, and his introduction of the concept of Tapferkeit as an alternative principle of political unity. In the next step I show that world-historical courage differs but also shares many similarities with political courage, which taken together reveal the limitations of the latter. In the end, I argue that only in the instance of Hegel?s conception of total war do political and world-historical courage coincide.

Full textAbstract:
En 1972, le projet de recherche « Ethnographie de la Côte-Nord du Saint-Laurent» place à l'intérieur de sa problématique générale un volet intitulé: l'ethnohistoire. Soucieuse de ne pas limiter les résultats de ses recherches à des moules d'analyse déjà établis et intéressée à illustrer constamment la conceptualisation des gens de la Moyenne-Côte-Nord, l'équipe de recherche perçoit comme complémentaire l'analyse de la science populaire utilisée par les témoins qui vivent les mêmes faits qu'elle étudie sous un angle expérimental. L'ethnohistoire de la Moyenne-Côte-Nord représente une facette de cette complémentarité. Afin de bien situer cette intention, une mise en place des principales tendances en cours en ethnohistoire s'avère utile. Auparavant, deux remarques importantes se posent au point de départ puisqu'elles clarifient les prémisses de l'ethnohistoire. 1. L'utilisation de l'histoire par l'anthropologie suscite beaucoup de discussions et cela depuis les origines de l'anthropologie. L'ethnohistoire ne se greffe pas à cette problématique. L'ethnohistoire ne représente pas le champ privilégié où l'utilisation et la perception de l'histoire que les anthropologues ont mis de l'avant à travers les différents courants anthropologiques se manifestent. 2. Ce premier point tient surtout au fait que l'ethnohistoire se conçoit comme un ensemble de méthodes, de techniques. Elle ne s'étiquette pas comme une discipline. L'ethnohistoire s'intègre aux différents courants théoriques en anthropologie et s'utilise selon les questions théoriques jugées importantes par les différentes écoles. Il n'y a pas de théories ethnohistoriques indépendantes des autres théories anthropologiques. Toute discussion au sujet de la relation histoire-anthropologie se situe au niveau théorique et non méthodologique; l'ethnohistoire ne peut fournir d'éléments pertinents. Trois tendances se concrétisent et fournissent des résultats différents, selon l'appartenance théorique aux écoles anthropologiques. L'histoire spécifique, l'ethnographie historique (ethnohistory) et l'ethnohistoire (folk history) constituent présentement ces trois options. L'histoire spécifique. Cette tendance se préoccupe surtout de situer des traits culturels spécifiques à l'intérieur d'un contexte. Tout en utilisant et recherchant des dates, des lieux et des événements précis, les chercheurs essaient ici de mettre en relief un modèle de diffusion et de transformation d'un trait culturel particulier. L'étude des variantes des mythes et dçs légendes par Franz Boas et Edward Sapir chez les Amérindiens de la Côte-Nord-Ouest du Pacifique constitue un exemple de cette tendance. L'utilisation des données archéologiques, linguistiques, physiques et des études de diffusion culturelle reflète bien la préoccupation du courant diffusionniste en anthropologie. L'ethnographie historique. Souvent retrouvée sous l'appellation ethnohistoire (ethnohistory), cette tendance s'identifie aux anthropologues américains (Fenton, Ewers, De Laguna, Lurie, etc.) qui reconstruisent historiquement des cultures amérindiennes à l'aide des archives, des traditions orales et des données recueillies sur le terrain. La recherche se traduit par l'application de la perspective historique aux sociétés qui ne sont pas incluses dans l'histoire occidentale. De par leur formation, ces chercheurs veulent comprendre, expliquer des phénomènes culturels. L'historiographie d'une ethnie ne répond pas à cette demande. Le choix des données historiques doit s'effectuer en fonction des questions théoriques en anthropologie. Ainsi la mise en relation des travaux de terrain avec les sources historiques dans un cadre théorique peut produire des éléments importants pour la construction d'un modèle explicatif du changement. Cette orientation a pris forme, vers 1950, au contact des études plus générales d'acculturation et de relations interethniques, des systèmes politiques et économiques. L'ethnographie historique repose sur des fondements plus théoriques et généralisants afin de permettre une comparaison entre différents groupes étudiés. Sous cet angle, elle se présente comme une méthode intégrée à d'autres pour répondre aux questions théoriques soulevées en anthropologie. Cette approche exige une nomenclature conceptuelle qui favorise un niveau de généralisation formelle. Une de ses premières fonctions se concrétise par l'élaboration d'un inventaire du matériel existant et par l'orientation subséquente de l'emploi et de la fabrication des autres méthodes. Lorsque la synthèse des différentes données est effectuée, des patterns d'incorporation des groupes ethniques à leur environnement, de changements économiques et politiques, d'acculturation, etc., en ressortent. En somme, l'ethnographie historique se présente comme l'application de la méthode historique et l'utilisation des concepts anthropologiques pour découvrir des pattems d'organisation humaine. L'ethnohistoire (folk history). Le domaine des réflexions et des constructions historiques en cours dans une communauté devient le pôle d'attraction de cette optique. La véracité des faits, la cohérence des événements, les modèles de changement, etc., ne sont pas ici pertinents. C'est plutôt le système logique permettant de réfléchir et de conceptualiser les événements et les comportements qui attire l'attention du chercheur. L'articulation de la recherche s'effectue autour de ce que les gens pensent de leur passé. Vers les années '60, le mot « ethno » se couvre d'une nouvelle signification, à savoir: découvrir comment s'établit le processus de la connaissance chez un peuple. Auparavant, le préfixe « ethno » ne possédait qu'une connotation identificatrice sans pour autant spécifier les bases de l'identité du peuple en question. Théoriquement, chez les culturalistes, la culture ne se conçoit plus comme l'ensemble des comportements humains, l'idéologie, l'histoire, les institutions, les produits matériels, etc., mais bien plus comme le tout de la connaissance humaine.2 Les analyses portent sur la «grammaire de la culture» et par conséquent ne précisent pas les comportements actuels et futurs des individus. Méthodologiquement, les techniques et les propositions théoriques se construisent sous la forme d'une recherche « emic », c'est-à-dire une approche valide que pour une communauté. L'ethnographie historique travaille à la reconstruction historique dans le sens et le découpage qui convient aux critères occidentaux. Elle utilise les archives et les résultats des autres disciplines connexes afin d'écrire une histoire universelle basée sur des découpages préalablement établis. Par contre, l'ethnohistoire démontre la version, la signification et l'explication historique fournies par une communauté. Précisément, elle met en relief les principes régissant la sélection et l'ordre des événements retenus comme significatifs pour une culture. Cette limitation à une seule culture amène pour l'instant le rejet d'une histoire universelle. Dans les sociétés non euro-américaines, les mythes, les légendes, les contes constituent le champ d'investigation privilégié pour l'ethnohistoire.

The overarching aim of this paper is to persuade the reader that radical scepticism is driven less by independently plausible arguments and more by a fear of epistemic limitation which can be overcome. By developing the Kierkegaardian insight that knowledge requires courage, I show that we are not, as potential knowers, just passive recipients of a passing show of putatively veridical information, we also actively need to put ourselves in the way of it by learning to resist certain forms of epistemic temptation: the Cartesian thought that we could be ‘imprisoned’ within our own representations, and, hence permanently ‘out of touch’ with an ‘external’ world, and the Reasons Identity Thesis, which has us believe that whether we are in the good case or in the bad case, our epistemic grounds are the same.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of both supervisory abuse and moral efficacy in the weakening or strengthening of moral courage. The study also tests how the interaction between both could influence moral courage. Design/methodology/approach Cross-sectional data were collected from a sample of public hospital nurses in Egypt and structural equation modeling was used to analyse the data. Findings The study findings revealed that abusive supervision is negatively related to moral courage whereas moral efficacy is positively related to courage. Furthermore, moral efficacy moderates the abusive supervision-moral courage relationship in such a way that the negative association between abusive supervision and moral courage is reduced when moral efficacy is high. Research limitations/implications Because of the cross-sectional design of the study, inferences regarding causality cannot be made. Furthermore, more research is needed to identify whether the results of this study apply in other contexts. Practical implications Organizations should identify abusive supervisors and offer them abuse-prevention training to circumvent their hostile behaviour. Organizations should also try to consider follower moral efficacy when matching supervisors with followers. Originality/value The study addresses calls for research on the personal factors that could mitigate the undesirable effects of abusive supervision.

In order to overcome the modeling limitations for management experiments, we proposed to integrate the Internet technology with role-playing, and developed a novel modeling method called similarity-extension modeling method. By the novel method, we found a new way to transform an economic experiment into a management one. The basic steps of similarity-extension modeling are presented, and their applications are illustrated by taking Cournot Oligopoly Management Experiment as an example. In the example, the primary Cournot Oligopoly Management Experiment is first established with reference to the basic element model of the Cournot Oligopoly Economic Experiment, and then how to transform the economic experiment into a management one is focused on in detail by introducing management factors. Finally, an improved quantitative process method is delved into for fuzzy management factors based on the Market Quiz Method in psychology.

La thèse soutenue est celle d'une régression législative de la protection sociale des victimes d'accident du travail et de maladie professionnelle. La loi de 1985 édicte des présomptions légales qui ramènent le travailleur sur le terrain du contentieux. La logique de l'indemnisation automatique se trouve ainsi écartée, alors qu'elle constituait le point fort du compromis historique élaboré au Québec à partir de 1909, dans la foulée des pays industrialisés d'Europe occidentale. La Cour d'appel révèle en 1992 dans six arrêts rendus le même jour l'ampleur des limitations apportées par la loi de 1985 à la protection juridique des travailleurs. Le silence gardé par la doctrine sur ces arrêts de principe contraste avec la vigueur des critiques qui ont accueilli en 1996 une décision de la Cour suprême refusant, à juste titre, d'utiliser les chartes à l’encontre d'une protection sociale acquise au cours de l'histoire. Ces textes constitutionnels devraient être utilisés à meilleur escient, comme l'établissement de ponts entre le droit civil de la responsabilité individuelle et le droit social de l'indemnisation collective.

Une première révolution, qu’on a appelée désinstitutionalisation, dans le courant des années 1970, concerne la reconnaissance de leurs droits civils. La seconde révolution, à partir des années 1980, a été dominée par la reconnaissance de leurs droits sociaux, économiques et culturels. Enfin, une troisième révolution, en cours, est nécessaire afin que soit reconnus leurs droits politiques et afin qu’elles puissent exercer une citoyenneté active, à part égale et entière. Pour que les personnes accèdent à l’exercice de leurs droits politiques, elles doivent détenir les compétences citoyennes requises, ce qui suppose la disponibilité d’espaces d’engagement civique et de lieux de parole qui leur permettent d’acquérir et d’exercer ces compétences. C’est ce que l’on appelle le processus de socialisation politique. Dans le cadre d’un « Programme international d’éducation à la citoyenneté démocratique, par, pour et avec des personnes ayant des limitations fonctionnelles », un projet de recherche-action est en cours pour mieux comprendre le processus de socialisation politique, l’acquisition et le développement de compétences civiques de personnes engagées au sein des comités des usagers ou d’associations de promotion ou de défense des droits des personnes ayant des limitations fonctionnelles.

This article assesses the impact of transactional, relational, entrepreneur orientation on satisfaction and performance from the viewpoint of franchisee. The methodology includes an empirical study that was conducted in education franchising in Indonesia. The results show that the quality of relational relation is important in improving franchisee performance results. Meanwhile, entrepreneur orientation as a moderator variable gives an effect towards the improvement of franchisee performance. From the four indicators of entrepreneur orientation, in education franchise context in Indonesia, the most required indicator is the courage to take risks. This quality is required by franchisee in increasing franchisee performance because without courage to try new things and find creative ideas, franchisee performance will not improve. This article also discusses managerial implications, research limitation and future research.

This article originates in my doctoral dissertation, Trust and Power: A Moral Challenge, published by Munksgaard, Copenhagen, in 1999. The dissertation, an exploratory study, contributes to a practical understanding of a philosophy of care and ethics. This article builds on the previous research, develops theory, and stands as a philosophical and theoretical contribution. With practical understanding of an ethic of care and its limitations, I have worked to develop some aspects of Patricia Benner’s formulations of how to act skillfully and ethically in nursing practice. Using a phenomenological/hermeneutic approach, I focus on the development of moral competence and, in this context, on specific personal qualifications such as significance of experience, situational understanding, sensing the concrete, and the need for courage.

AbstractIn this study, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is implemented through a finite-volume approach to perform 2-D, incompressible, and turbulent fluid flow analyses on structured grids. Even though the approach followed in this study necessitates more computational effort compared to the standard LBM (the so called stream and collide scheme), using the finite-volume method, the known limitations of the stream and collide scheme on lattice to be uniform and Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) number to be one are removed. Moreover, the curved boundaries in the computational domain are handled more accurately with less effort. These improvements pave the way for the possibility of solving fluid flow problems with the LBM using coarser grids that are refined only where it is necessary and the boundary layers might be resolved better.

With the opening to the outside world, port market entry and exit become relatively free in China. In this context, there will be a game of market entry and anti-entry between foreign direct investment (FDI) port enterprises and incumbent ones. Cournot and Dixit Model were both used to study the output competition game between above two kinds of enterprises. Cournot equilibrium shows that FDI port enterprises' output falls as the its own marginal cost increases but increases as the competitors' marginal cost increases. In Dixit Model, by researching the reaction function based on the production scale, marginal cost and scale cost, the selection conditions of FDI port enterprises' market entry strategy were studied. Results show that enterprises entry strategy selection is relative to the limitation and equilibrium output.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore how innovation capability can be enhanced by inclusive leadership. In particular, the focus is on identifying the key drivers of work engagement and the role of leadership in boosting the innovation capability. Methodology/Approach: This research has a qualitative exploratory nature. The exploratory fieldwork is based on an in-depth interview with the CEO, field observations and on the analysis of relevant corporate sources. Findings: The research provides further confirmation of the link between inclusive leadership, work engagement and innovation capability. Specifically, authentic communication and leadership traits such as trust, courage, humility, empathy and gratitude are considered to be among the most important enablers of an inclusive environment that leads to business success. Research Limitation/Implication: This study contributes to a better understanding of how companies could enhance innovation capabilities by leveraging the power of inclusion. The subjective business evidence coming from only one company constitute the main limitations of the present study. Originality/Value of paper: This paper contributed to leadership and innovation literature. The results of this work provide a thorough understanding of the mechanisms for improving work engagement and, consequently, innovation capability. By grounding our research in both theory and empirical evidence, we provide valuable insight for both academia and practice.

PurposeConnected learning is a framework of learning principles that centers on fostering educational equity through leveraging social technologies and networking practices to connect students with opportunities, people and resources in communities within and beyond their classroom walls (Itoet al., 2013). The framework has been adopted and developed in K-12 education by teachers in professional development networks and introduced to some teacher education programs through these networks. Practitioners of connected learning frequently refer to the need for “courage” to develop and introduce connected learning-based practices in their classrooms. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors investigate “courage” through a sociocultural lens in the case studies of six educators in a teacher education course on connected learning. The study examines the social contexts and activities that fostered acts of courage during their 14-week course.FindingsThe authors found that personal reflection on freedom and equity, two ethical concepts raised by the connected learning framework, seeded acts of courage. The acts of courage appeared as small acts that built upon themselves toward a larger goal that related to the participants’ ethical ideals. Three types of social activity contexts helped to nurture these acts: seeking models of possibility, mediated reinvention and “wobbling.”Research limitations/implicationsThis study helps to uncover some of the questions that connected learning scholars and practitioners have about why courage is so central, and how to cultivate courageous acts of pedagogical change.Practical implicationsThe theoretical framework used in this study, courage from a sociocultural perspective, may serve to help scholars and teacher educators to shape their research and program designs.Social implicationsThis study offers insights into patterns of networked teacher-led educational change and the social contexts that support school-level impacts of out-of-school professional networking.Originality/valueUsing a sociocultural conception of courage to investigate connected learning in teacher education, this study demonstrates how equity and freedom, central values in the connected learning framework, serve as key concepts driving teachers’ risk-taking, innovation and change.

Full textAbstract:
Résumé C'est dans le sillage du mouvement critique psychiatrique, lancé par Eric Berne, que le Collectif de psychiatrie radicale s'est formé à Berkeley, en Californie, au début des années 70. À partir de l'analyse de l'aide thérapeutique dominante, perçue comme aliénante, et son résultat, une oppression dont la personne n'est pas consciente, le Collectif enseigne une nouvelle pratique représentée par l'équation suivante : conscience de son oppression + contact avec d'autres gens dans la même situation +action = libération. Cette équation entend répondre à la précédente : oppression +non-conscience de son oppression + isolement = aliénation. Utilisant les concepts de composantes de la personnalité élaborés en analyse transactionnelle, soit les trois états de l'ego : le Parent, l'Adulte et l'Enfant, le Collectif montre que certaines composantes des rôles sociaux, apprises à travers le processus de socialisation, sont inégalement et différemment développées chez les hommes et les femmes, et qu'une rencontre harmonieuse est, par conséquent, impossible. Pour résoudre ces difficultés, le Collectif dirige des groupes mixtes d'aide thérapeutique et des groupes de femmes. Ces derniers, formés surtout par Hogie Wyckoff, tiennent compte de l'oppression spécifique des femmes et les aident à travailler sur leurs composantes, qui sont insuffisamment développées ou sous-estimées par une société capitaliste inégalitaire. Le courant de psychiatrie radicale met en relation les caractéristiques fondamentales de la société capitaliste, principalement les rapports humains et les problèmes de vécus individuels. Il démontre également l'agencement logique des rôles sociaux - limitatifs et insatisfaisants, mais fonctionnels - à l'intérieur d'une telle société. L'approche est fort intéressante pour une pratique thérapeutique auprès des femmes en général, et, plus spécifiquement, auprès des clientes des services sociaux et de santé. Toutefois, l'approche ne doit pas se limiter à ne considérer que les facteurs concrets et interactionnels de la relation entre une intervenante de classe moyenne éduquée et une cliente de milieu populaire souvent démunie à divers niveaux. Les répercussions de différence de classe sur une relation qu'on veut egalitaire demeurent encore inconnues, les intervenants en psychiatrie radicale travaillant principalement avec une clientèle de classe moyenne. Cette lacune constitue la limite principale de l'approche observée, limite qui devrait être davantage sondée et analysée.

Full textAbstract:
One of the attempts of establishing the contemporary ethics is Paul Tillich's very existential analysis and evaluation of the courage to be. In man's encounter or rather existential confrontation with the threat of nonbeing, revealed in the categories of space and time, determination and freedom, and especially in experiencing guilt, absurdity, fear, doubts, and other limitations of being, there is an opportunity to ask a question about the meaning of life and searching for sources of power in order to accept and surpass all these challenges. At the same time, Tillich uses this as an opportunity to ask questions about God, or rather about Being-itself, which provides the power to accept all tensions and anxieties of being. Religion thus means to accept being accepted. Based on this relationship or rather the acceptance of the Being-itself, the courage to be is born in a man, when he, realising and accepting his own finality, surpasses the notion and opens himself up to Infinity. This infinity of Being-itself is not something abstract but it realises itself as Love, from which man gets courage to live in love, power, and justice.

Paul Levi was leader of the German Communist Party in the vital years 1919 and 1920; he was subsequently expelled for his opposition to the adventurist March Action in 1921. Three recent books cast new light on this complex figure: David Fernbach’s selection of his writings, Frédéric Cyr’s biography and Paul Frölich’s memoirs. Levi was a man of great talent and courage, but his leadership style was defective; he was neither Leninist nor Luxemburgist, and his greatest weakness was his inability to relate to ultra-leftism. His limitations are revealed by a comparison with his comrade Clara Zetkin.

Abstract: Purpose: To analyze the factors that influence a company's decision to carry out transfer pricing aggressiveness. The factors used in this research are profitability, capital intensity ratio, executive risk preference, transfer pricing aggressiveness, and tax burden. Method: The method used in this study is a quantitative research method. The research data uses secondary data, which is obtained from financial reports. The analytical method used in this study is path analysis using Warp Partial Least Squares. Result: All factors used in this study have no effect on transfer pricing aggressiveness, including those mediated by the tax burden. Except for executive risk preferences which directly affect the aggressiveness of transfer pricing. Executives who have a risk taker preference have more courage in determining a policy even though the risk is high. However, risk takers with their courage are also required to generate higher cash flows. This is done to balance the risks arising from the courage to take an action or decision. Among the various executive decisions is the decision to carry out aggressive transfer pricing. One of the ways that executives do this is by placing trusted people who have the expertise to observe and create tax avoidance schemes according to the wishes of the executive (Dyreng et al., 2010). Limitations: This study only uses secondary data from manufacturing companies whose answers do not yet show the overall condition of companies in Indonesia Contribution: Companies should consider carefully if they want to carry out aggressive transfer pricing legally and in accordance with applicable tax regulations Keywords: 1.

Pour poursuivre la loi de Moore avec des noeuds technologiques de 22 nm et en deçà, les transistors MOS bulk ont été remplacés par des transistors FinFET ou UTBB-FDSOI. Ces derniers disposent d’une grille arrière permettant de réaliser de nouvelles topologies de circuits analogiques et mixtes, offrant des performances jamais atteintes et réduisant certaines limitations, comme par exemple celles liées à la réduction de la longueur du canal. Partant de la caractéristique de la tension de seuil d’un transistor UTBB-FDSOI en fonction de la polarisation de la grille arrière, nous proposons aux élèves-ingénieurs d’étudier quelques nouvelles topologies de cellules par des simulations statiques et transitoires, associés à des analyses de Monte Carlo pour évaluer l’impact des variations du procédé de fabrication sur leurs performances finales. La première étude concerne la réalisation d’un inverseur en logique complémentaire basé sur le couplage croisé des grilles arrières de deux inverseurs permettant une symétrisation des signaux de sortie complémentaires. Ce concept peut être étendu à toutes les portes logiques et permet de réaliser des oscillateurs en anneau aux performances inédites. Une approche similaire est également appliquée à un miroir de courant permettant de réduire de façon drastique les effets de canal court.

PurposeThis study has two aims. It aims to analyse three essential pre-conditions of an authentic sustainability curriculum (ASC). The theoretical analysis involves the definition of authenticity through the learning outcomes (LOs) framework called authentic minimum (AM). This paper also aims to gauge students’ views on economic growth, sustainability and mindfulness.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical aim was accomplished by extensive study of and critical reflections on the relevant literature. The empirical research was qualitative using an online questionnaire as survey instrument consisting of predominantly open-ended questions involving students of two economic faculties. Directed content analysis and nonparametric quantitative methods were used to assess the answers.FindingsViable sustainability goals are in stark contrast with the promotion of sustainable economic growth in sustainable development goals 8 and the reigning neoliberal agenda. The empirical findings provide valuable insights into how undergraduate students view mindfulness, economic growth and aspects of sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsThe empirical research has some obvious limitations that warrant caution in generalizing the results. The authors used a sample of convenience and the base population of the survey consisted only in students of economics in two economic faculties of two Hungarian universities.Practical implicationsPractical implications of the present paper are many all sharing; however, the need for existential courage on the part of teachers, students and leaders of higher education institutions. Existential courage is required for profound personal transformation, for going against mainstream ideology and the possible confrontations with colleagues, leaders of institutions, students, friends or family members.Originality/valueOn the theoretical side, the concept of ASC was introduced with AM as its LOs framework. For the first time, an attempt was made to interpret authenticity in sustainability education as an integration of mindfulness, human and environmental ethics and a firm opposition to economic growth and neoliberal ideals. The analysis of qualitative data supported earlier research and also provided unique findings in the examined areas.

Abstract This paper claims that Onemli’s results published in “Access Pricing under Imperfect Competition”, Review of Economic Perspectives, 2012, are incorrect. Contrary to Onemli, we claim that in an industry, where a monopoly incumbent produces a key input used by itself and its competitors on a downstream market which is Cournot oligopoly, the regulator should set the second-best access charge such that the incumbent’s total profit is zero if the first-best access charge is not feasible. The competitors’ ability to produce the key input themselves does not change the outcome since no competitor chooses to use this option under this regulation. We also discuss some limitations of the Onemli’s model.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract According to philosopher of religion Kurt Wuchterl, contingency acknowledgement (German: Kontingenzanerkennung) means that rational thinking is inadequate for explaining contingency experiences. The authors argue that, in the tragic narrative of a contingency experience, subjects face limitations in three dimensions: in the individual, social and transcending dimensions. The individual dimension is expressed in powerful, visual metaphors for the confrontation with forces that do not take the human dimension into account in any way, even coercing the subjects to relinquish their existence. The social dimension concerns the tragic subject’s feeling of being avoided and excluded by some individuals in their environment. The transcending dimension emerges in the complaint “Why me?”, which religious persons address to a religious power, using moral arguments. Empirical research suggests that the acknowledgement of one’s own limitations resulting from a contingency experience can be seen as a sign of strength rather than weakness, for, by doing so, one shows the courage to let go of past interpretative frameworks and be vulnerable. This creates the possibility of an opening in the interpretation crisis, which can lead to an unexpected, new perspective.

For Joseph Ratzinger, Romano Guardini was a valued lecturer and an author of inspiring books. Ratzinger finds attractive Guardini’s ardent quest for truth, the courage to ask big and important questions, boldness to confront the Christian faith with the challenges of contemporary culture, the conviction of the significant cognitive possibilities of human reason, and the emphasis on the primacy of truth in theology. Both authors point to the reasonableness of the Christian faith, based ultimately on the fact that God Himself is Truth. Faith and reason are not mutually exclusive, but they can support each other through solid cognition. Of course, human reason, when trying to know God, struggles with its own limitations in the face of the mystery which exceeds the capacities of the creation.

Full textAbstract:
The early life of Florence Schorske Wald, from her birth in 1917 through her first decade as a nurse, provides a clear understanding of the motivation that led her to create the first modern hospice in the United States. Florence's health struggles during childhood and experience growing up in the shadow of her brilliant older brother directed her toward nursing and more broadly created a deep-rooted compassion for the helpless which she maintained throughout her life. Florence's parents' intellectualism and liberal activism planted seeds for her own courage to reject the medical system's growing reliance on technology in the 1940s and 1950s. She spent her early adulthood dissatisfied and lost, searching for a more humane alternative, despite the limitations she felt as a nurse in a rigid medical hierarchy.

Poland and Polish people are shown in the Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s writing in the context of complicated Polish-Russian relations. In Repentance and Self-limitation the author criticises Polish nation for being unable to repent and admit making mistakes in the past in a historical context. At the same time he claims that Russians have a natural ability to repentance, that is a condition of a moral renewal of a nation. Nevertheless, the overall picture of the Polish nation in Solzhenitsyn’s writing is positive. This Russian Nobel prize winner highlights Polish courage, pride and their undeterred struggle for freedom. In The Gulag Archipelago the author eternalises a Polish scientist named Jerzy Wegierski, a prisoner of a forced labour camp, who had been Solzhenitsyn’s friend till his death. It is also very important to highlight Solzhenitsyn’s respect and attitude toward the Pope John Paul II. The article is an attempt to recall and analyse Polish features in the Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s writing.
