Abstract:
Almost six years have passed since Zolitūde tragedy and more than five years – since the new construction regulations have come into force, but the process of responsibility definition in construction is still topical. The supervision of construction process. requires checking.The aim of paper is to summarize and analyse information about how supervision of the construction process works now and how it is going to change or is necessary to be to changed.The methods of historical, teleological, systematic text condensation, analysis and comparative analysis of research, information analysis and summarising about how supervision of the construction process works now and how it is going to change or is necessary to be changed are used.The main conclusion shows that the construction process norms of supervision should be laid down in a single normative act in order to avoid duplication and partial interpretation, because the normative acts contain contradictions between the norms of different legal force and also in one norm.

Abstract:
The hyper-competitive global business environment of the information age has challenged many companies to transform their business models and organizational forms. Drawing from the theoretical models of Van de Ven and Poole, we propose a process theory of organizational transition that incorporates two generative mechanisms, or ‘motors’. At the individual level, we employ a teleological motor, which captures the managerial actions undertaken to promote transformation. At the organizational level, we employ a dialectic motor, which captures forces both promoting and opposing change. The model consists of three sequential phases of transition: creation, destruction, and unification. The model is grounded in an empirical study of a large company undergoing a major transition in business model and organization structure during the decade of the 1990s.

Abstract:
Change Management is a term which is omnipresent in nowadays discussions of all areas, be it politically or economically motivated. This article discusses different scientific process theories of Change Management, such as Teleological theories, Dialectical theories, Life cycle theories and Evolutionary theories, that all regard change as involving a number of events, decisions and actions that are connected in some sort of sequences, but distinguish themselves when understanding change as a structured process. Moreover, the linkage of the interconnected fields of Change Management and Strategy Management are seized. Lastly, the importance and different role of Leadership and Management are discussed before reviewing the historic evolvement of the German automotive industry, as well as its current challenges. It is concluded why Change Management in this industry is nowadays more important than ever due to fierce global competition, regulatory requirements and different technological developments all ending up in distinct client requirements and expectations.

The new Construction Law and others Construction Regulations come into force more than four years ago, but there is still actual process of definition of responsibility in construction.The aim of paper is to summarize and analyse information about how responsibility in construction has changed and are going to change to define it distinctly.There are used methods of historical, teleological, systematic text condensation, analysis and comparative analysis for research, analyse and summarize information about how responsibility in construction has changed and are going to change to define it in normative acts.The main conclusion shows that now there is not clearness about responsibility of every person in construction, but there are made legislative amendments of Construction Law and General Construction Regulations to define responsibility more distinctly. From 01.01.2020. there will be in force new Law of administrative responsibility what will allow to inflict penalty for longer time.

Abstract:
During late Old and Middle English, the distribution of short and long vowels in stressed syllables was profoundly altered. The changes involved have traditionally been understood as conspiring to optimize syllable quantity according to the position of the syllable in the word. However, Minkova's reformulation of so-called Middle English Open Syllable Lengthening (MEOSL) as a purely compensatory process appears difficult to reconcile with the traditional approach, which has recently been further compromised by suggestions that Trisyllabic Shortening was not a genuine historical sound change. In this article, Minkova's analysis is supported with new evidence of phonological conditioning behind the irregular lengthening of unapocopated disyllabic stems (e.g. raven vs heaven, body, gannet). I propose solutions to Riad's ‘data problem’ and ‘analytical problem’. Optimality Theory allows Minkova's revised statement of MEOSL to be integrated into a broader, non-teleological account of late Old and Middle English quantitative developments, including coverage of processes of lexical change such as borrowing and diffusion.

Abstract:
Abstract Throughout the history of Western music, musicians have almost invariably discussed the keyboard fugue and other extreme forms of polyphony as signs of something that transcends human subjectivity. Despite the persistence of this critical topos, musicians shifted their approach to it around the beginning of the nineteenth century. The shift involved both a change in the technique of counterpoint and a change in the way counterpoint was interpreted. Composers sought to invest the fugue with a new dramatic and teleological thrust suitable to modern times, and critically minded musicians changed their interpretive method so as to emphasize the passage of time. Whereas musicians of the early eighteenth century read counterpoint and the fugue allegorically and annulled time through the conceptual precision of the allegorical image, musicians of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries read the fugue symbolically and worked time into their interpretive process. In both eras, the practice of interpretation coincided with and affected the reading of the genre's temporality.

Abstract:
Purpose – In this paper the authors explore the managerial processes involved in deep, purposeful organizational change. The authors investigate change towards a goal-directed end state and the managerial actions involved in reaching it. The purpose of this paper is to identify patterns of organizational change by analysing how variations occurred in a firm’s resources and capabilities at a time of high internal and external uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use a longitudinal in-depth case study on the airline Spanair. The authors analyse the change process this airline engaged in between 2007 and 2012, which was considered the most turbulent period in aviation history. The authors followed the grounded theory approach to induce a strategic capability pattern model from secondary data. Findings – The authors identify a capability pattern with four dynamic capabilities: adding, transferring, integrating and shedding; and two higher-order capabilities: goal development and change orchestration. The authors show how the higher-order capability processes are performed by two levels of decision makers, where one creates a goal-directed path, and the other performs a central role in orchestrating change. Originality/value – Using the teleological approach the authors identify how top management orchestrate change arising from the dynamic capability process outcomes in a top-down and bottom-up manner. As such the authors show how the role of management becomes fundamental in adjusting the capabilities required to meet the goals set, particularly in times of heightened internal and external environmental turbulence. The authors also emphasize the importance of providing bottom-up advice to goal directors.

Abstract:
Latin American and Latina women's sexualities have often been represented, and theorized, along the terms of sexual morality, restraint and emancipation. In this article, I explore how sexual norms have changed for women in queer spaces in Mexico City over the past two decades. I suggest that sexual practices that were characterized as transgressive in 2000 became normalized in lesbian circles in the following decade, in the 2010s. Ten years of public discussions on sexual education, abortion, anti-discrimination laws, same-sex unions, and in lesbian circles on polyamory had taken place transforming gender and sexual subjectivities. Ultimately, as I reflect on change regarding gender and sexualities, I caution against the tendency of depicting social transformations in a linear process, which risks drawing on teleological narratives of progress.

Abstract:
Evolutionary theorising has a long history in social scientists' attempts to interrogate processes of change. However, for many years evolutionary theory has been damaged by its association with teleological and reductionist reasoning. Nevertheless in the past two decades, a new breed of neo-evolutionary perspective has emerged within a variety of social science sub-disciplines. This recent literature has attempted to revise the theory in order to emphasise that change is a contingent process which can take multiple paths and is underpinned by a constant interplay between agents and their environment. Although much of this literature has failed largely to impact upon the work of political scientists, recent years have also seen various attempts to apply an evolutionary conception of change to both the state and political change in general. This review article examines some of the key themes to have emerged from the renewed interest in evolutionary theorising, whilst particular attention is paid to attempts to develop the concept of political evolution.

Abstract:
This article examines agricultural labour contracts and household-based production in Dedza District, Malawi. Deepening impoverishment seemingly creates conditions for profound social changes. In agriculture, small-scale contracts rather than big work parties mobilise the bulk of ‘extra-domestic’ labour. Although labourers are paid in cash or in kind, they are most often the recruiter's relatives or affines. The pattern fits, therefore, uneasily with the ideas of labour as a commodity and persons as mutually independent individuals. Claims about changing values must be accompanied by careful analyses of personhood. Among Dedza villagers the notion of the self in the idioms of morality discloses social relations as the origins of a person's interests. By recruiting labour, wealthy villagers make their valued relationships visible. These observations caution against viewing ‘agrarian change’ as a uniform and teleological process in which the buying and selling of labour necessarily entail individualism. As an example of how, in any case, moral sentiments are historical phenomena the article examines the predicament of landless refugees in Dedza District. Under conditions of social and material alienation, agricultural labour contracts became exploitation.

Abstract:
Background: Considering high merger failure in the process of strategy implementation, there is a need to elaborate on strategic consensus building during this major organizational change. Purpose: To gain understanding about the strategic consensus building process in a merged organization from a teleological perspective. The premerger influence and the intervening circumstances are expected to affect the process of consensus building. Methodology: A single case study approach was taken by interviewing twelve senior managers from two hierarchical levels as well as five managers from the corporate strategy department of a merged organization to gain a comprehensive understanding of the research topic. Findings: The empirical findings indicated that consensus on strategic priorities is essential for further development of a merged organization. In addition, this study has identified three strategic consensus building facilitators vertical communication, transparency, and agility.

Abstract:
The reason for the study is that IT-enabled organizational change processes such as information system implementations have high costs and disappointing results. Studies to identify causes of the mentioned failures are mainly based on a variance approach. This study applies another approach which is not yet performed in this field of research and affects several themes. Based on a process approach data is compared with ideal-process theories to identify the generative mechanisms causing the unfolding of the process. Thus, the study identifies a recipe and not the ingredients.

Abstract:
This book explores the role of causal constraints in science, shifting our attention from causal relations between individual events—the focus of most philosophical treatments of causation—to a broad family of concepts and principles generating constraints on possible change. The book looks at determinism, locality, stability, symmetry principles, conservation laws, and the principle of least action—causal constraints that serve to distinguish events and processes that our best scientific theories mandate or allow from those they rule out. The book's approach reveals that causation is just as relevant to explaining why certain events fail to occur as it is to explaining events that do occur. It investigates the conceptual differences between, and interrelations of, members of the causal family, thereby clarifying problems at the heart of the philosophy of science. The book argues that the distinction between determinism and stability is pertinent to the philosophy of history and the foundations of statistical mechanics, and that the interplay of determinism and locality is crucial for understanding quantum mechanics. Providing a historical perspective, the book traces the causal constraints of contemporary science to traditional intuitions about causation, and demonstrates how the teleological appearance of some constraints is explained away in current scientific theories such as quantum mechanics. The book represents a bold challenge to both causal eliminativism and causal reductionism—the notions that causation has no place in science and that higher-level causal claims are reducible to the causal claims of fundamental physics.

Abstract:
In the following pages, I argue for a new way of looking at the history of medical education. The growth of medical training, I believe, has too long been viewed in almost exclusively national terms. Changes in medical teaching seem to have come only when creative individuals or powerful centers of innovation in a single country—Leyden, Vienna, Edinburgh, Paris, Giessen, Leipzig, or perhaps Baltimore—have discovered new ideas and techniques and radiated them outward to peripheral training centers in less advanced cities and towns. Strong personalities have put their stamp on new methods of imparting medical knowledge. The periodization of historical development is marked by important discontinuities that center on large historical events. The historical focus is understandably on dramatic change, new schemes of conveying learning, the advance of science in medicine, or the travels of foreign physicians to centers of innovation. Students appear in standard accounts, if at all, only as passive and voiceless participants in an impersonal process. History becomes a tale of successive national centers of influence that wax and wane in their importance to medicine. Rarely is it clear why these centers climb suddenly to historical prominence or why they later decline. And almost always, in even the best writing on medical education, a teleological thread is visible in which nineteenth-century and earlier patterns are followed largely to reveal how they helped shape twentieth-century realities. In short, medical education, like medicine itself, is often portrayed as a story of steady and sometimes heroic progress. In this book, I seek further answers to the reasons for change in medical teaching in the social, industrial, political, and educational transformations of Europe and North America that took place between the Enlightenment and World War II. Especially important, I believe, was the differential impact on individual nations of such major shifts in Western thought and society as the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, the rapid bursts of population and explosion of cities in the Industrial Revolution, the expansion of the market for health practitioners due to educational and urban growth, the rise of an entrepreneurial spirit in education, the widespread transformation of secondary and higher education in the nineteenth century, advances in the explanatory power of observational and experimental science, and the differing roles played by nation-states, as well as by the students themselves, in matters of health and education.

"(3) a desire to compromise, or a need to compromise, to ensure that major aspects of the draft statute get through the legislative process, and are not blocked by the opposition within, or external to, the government. In the Court of Appeal in Mandla v Dowell Lee, Lord Denning looked at the history of the word ‘ethnic’, charting its meaning and usage through three editions of the Oxford English Dictionary (1890, 1934, 1972). However, he always argued that words do not and cannot have a literal meaning and yet, here, in a highly contentious case, he traced the history of words. He noted that, in its original Greek form, ‘ethnic’ meant ‘heathen’ and was used by the translators of the Old Testament from Hebrew to Greek to mean nonIsraelite, or gentile. Earlier in this text, in Chapter 2, we considered the issue of the use of the phrase ‘the original Greek’. He identified the first use of ‘ethnic’ in English as describing people who were not Christian or Jewish. Lord Denning referred to the 1890 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary to confirm this etymology. He then referred to the 1934 edition, stating that its meaning had, by then, changed to denote ‘race, ethnological’. This is hardly surprising as the great anthropological expeditions of the 1920s and 1930s introduced the idea of ethnography as the descriptions of unknown groupings of people. His Lordship stated that the 1934 version indicated that ‘ethnic’ meant ‘divisions of races’ and, as far as he was concerned, this was right. This is, of course, a highly dubious and subjective viewpoint. But a judge has the power, via language analysis, to make a choice between what is, and what is not, right. Indeed, this is the judge’s task. The court has to decide. Finally, he referred to the 1972 version of the dictionary, which gave a wider definition of ‘ethnic’. It was this definition that was relied upon by the plaintiff’s counsel. Here, ‘ethnic’ was defined as relating to: …common racial, cultural, religious, or linguistic characteristics, especially designating a racial or other group within a larger system. Lord Denning then turned to discuss ‘origins’ for, as used in s 3 of the Race Relations Act, ‘ethnic’ appears in a small phrase including the word ‘origins’ (‘or ethnic or national origins’). Turning again to the dictionary, noting its usage with parentage he decides that it meant, as in previous case law, ‘a connection arising at birth’. ‘Origin’, he said, therefore meant a group with a common racial characteristic. His Lordship reconsidered the entire phrase as used in s 3: …a group of persons defined…by reference to…ethnic…origins. He concluded that the group must be distinguishable from another by a definable characteristic. Re-reading his judgment in the Court of Appeal, it is noticeable that he constantly used the words he is supposed to be defining in the definitions. Yet, Lord Denning’s normally preferred technique was the teleological, the mischief or the purposive rule. He may have reasoned in a manner more in keeping with the Race Relations Act if he had used his favourite technique of the purposive approach." In Legal Method and Reasoning, 120.

Abstract:
This paper outlines a case study in which a management development learning process was tightly coupled to organisational change and development objectives. The case discusses how a research and consulting team came together to develop highly reflexive pedagogy to support the work of internal managers who were organised into teams (‘learning sets’ of sorts, but which came to be known as 'ThinkTanks'). These were to undertake ‘organisational problem solving’, which involved the integration of various inquiring activities. These learning sets had as their objective, to help members become catalysts of organisational change and performance improvement within a large organisation, applying the inquiring principles. In order to structure the discourse amongst learning set members, a range of principles and constructs were used. Central to these was a form of process modelling, (termed ‘models of teleological human process’). These were carefully introduced to learning set members, and were used to provide a ‘basis for a discourse’ amongst set members about problematic organisational processes and how to change them. These were based on system theory, in a particular form, in which models were used as a component of inquiry into current and future processes, rather than to 'specify' a given process, in an absolute sense. The inquiring activities were facilitated by 'Set Advisers', whose role it was to keep the set focused on learning outcomes, and to encourage critical reflexivity in the process. Thus members were encouraged to 'think about the way they were thinking about action', which gave a much more dynamic intellectual basis for the learning set's activities. It also enabled a rich analytical discourse, in which members were expected to justify their perceptions rather than make assertions, or 'defend assertions'. The researchers were genuinely surprised by the way the set members were able to undertake this, and indeed, on reflection, how set members felt 'liberated' by the approach taken.
