Chapter 10 explores hope and hoping. It discusses the definition of a new model of hope, along with instruments to measure it in adults and children, describes the adaptive sequelae of elevated levels of hope for a variety of coping arenas, along with the literature on increasing hope. It also explores how hope can be applied to special populations.

An abstract definition of bisimulation is presented. It enables a uniform definition of bisimulation across a range of different models for parallel computation presented as categories. As examples, transition systems, synchronisation trees, transition systems with independence (an abstraction from Petri nets) and labelled event structures are considered. On transition systems the abstract definition readily specialises to Milner's strong bisimulation. On event structures it explains and leads to a revision of history-preserving bisimulation of Rabinovitch and Traktenbrot, Goltz and van Glabeek. A tie-up with open maps in a (pre)topos, as they appear in the work of Joyal and Moerdijk, brings to light a promising new model, presheaves on categories of pomsets, into which the usual category of labelled event structures embeds fully and faithfully. As an indication of its promise, this new presheaf model has ``refinement'' operators, though further work is required to justify their appropriateness and understand their relation to previous attempts. The general approach yields a logic, generalising Hennessy-Milner logic, which is characteristic for the generalised notion of bisimulation.

El Docusquema representa un nuevo modelo para construir presentaciones multimedia destinadas al aprendizaje basándose en los principios del Aprendizaje Receptivo Significativo. Este modelo otorga mayor protagonismo a la imagen y el sonido frente al texto escrito tradicional. En este proyecto se ha definido un lenguaje para describir los Docusquemas utilizando XML, y se han desarrollado dos herramientas software utilizando el lenguaje Java. La función de la primera de ellas es generar y editar Docusquemas, mientras que la segunda es un applet que permite reproducirlos a través de Internet, integrando las presentaciones en páginas web.Development of Environments for the Creation and Display of Docuschemas.AbstractDocuschemas are a new model for the construction of multimedia, learning oriented presentations based on the Meaningful Receptive Learning. This model gives a more important role to image and sound, considering traditional written text a secondary option. In this project a language for the definition of Docuschemas has been defined using XML, and two software tools have been developed using the Java language. The first one’s aim is to generate and edit Docuschemas, while the second is an a Java applet to display them in a Web browser, integrating the multimedia presentations into Web pages.

Цель статьи - рассмотреть причины и императивы перехода валюты в цифровое состояние. Дано определение цифрового рубля, его особенностей с экономической точки зрения. Указаны возможные технологические решения при внедрении цифровой валюты. Отражено возможное влияние ввода цифрового рубля на денежно-кредитную политику, а также предложен вариант внедрения новой формы рубля в экономику. Выделены необходимые качества, которым должен обладать цифровой рубль. Научная новизна заключается в акцентировании внимания на проблемах, которые могут возникнуть в связи с переходом к новой модели цифрового кредитно-денежного обращения. The purpose of the article is to consider the reasons and imperatives of the transition of the currency to a digital state. The author gives the definition of the digital rouble describes its features from an economic point of view. The research indicates possible technological solutions for digital currency implementation and possible impact of the introduction of the digital rouble on monetary policy. The author highlights some necessary qualities characteristic for a digital ruble. The scientific novelty is to focus on the problems that may arise from the transition to a new model of digital monetary circulation.

Juvenile polymyositis and dermatomyositis are inflammatory myopathies that affect muscle. Dermatomyositis also affects skin, and can have many extramuscular manifestations. Inflammatory myopathies are uncommon in childhood, with dermatomyositis occurring more than polymyositis. For this reason, published research has concentrated on juvenile dermatomyositis. The spectrum of disease severity ranges from mild cases that can recover completely without treatment, to multisystem inflammation that can be fatal. Treatments have improved over the decades, reducing mortality from 30% before the era of steroids, to less than 1% in the present day. Juvenile cases of dermatomyositis differ from those seen in adulthood, without tendency for associated malignancy, and a far greater incidence of calcinosis. Calcinosis can be deposited as small calcinotic lumps or as sheets of calcinosis. It is very difficult to treat and causes extensive morbidity, and depending on where the calcinosis is deposited, it can cause severe disability or even death. Over the last decade, international collaborative work has concentrated on developing disease activity and assessment tools for both adult and juvenile forms of myositis. This will enable more subjective study of these rare diseases in multinational cohort studies, and enable clinical trials to investigate drug treatments. This work led to the first international double-blind placebo controlled trial of treatment in both adults and children with dermatomyositis (using rituximab as the drug). Further international collaboration has led to the development of core outcome variables, a definition of disease flare, and classification criteria.

The single-valued complex neutrosophic set is a useful tool for handling the data with uncertainty and periodicity. In this paper, a single-valued complex neutrosophic EDAS (evaluation based on distance from average slution) model has been established and applied in green supplier selection. Firstly, the definition of single-valued complex neutrosophic set and corresponding operational laws are briefly introduced. Next, to fuse overall single-valued complex neutrosophic information, the SVCNEWA and SVCNEWG operators based on single-valued complex neutrosophic set, Einstein product and sum are proposed. Furthermore, the single-valued complex neutrosophic EDAS model has been established and all computing steps have been depicted in detail. Finally, a numerical example of green supplier selection and a comparison analysis have been given to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of this new model.

AbstractIn this article, the authors try to review the Paris-Match cover page (No. 326 from 1955) analyzed by Roland Barthes and introduces a new model of analyzing sign system from a new semiotic approach based on the new definition of the context. This research is based on three layers of the context and shows that understanding the cover page of a magazine or any other kind of text is not only absolute but also somehow relative due to the different background knowledge of the audience. This means that human sees the Context A, or what is designed, in the situation of Context B, or situational context, and interpret based on their Context C, or background knowledge of the audience.

The Journal of Scholarly Engagement was developed to provide faculty an academic outlet to document and disseminate scholarship primarily in Boyer’s domains of application and integration. The foundation of this new academic journal is Boyer’s Scholarship Reconsidered. In 1990, Boyer and his colleagues at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching responded to the then, and current, predominant definition of scholarship—one that primarily involves conducting discovery research and publishing results (Boyer, 1990; Moser, 2014). In rethinking what it meant to engage in scholarship, Boyer proposed a more comprehensive model, extending beyond a view limited to scholarship of discovery (i.e., empirical research), to recognize scholarship of integration, application, and teaching. This new model (frequently termed the “Boyer model”) expanded the definition of scholarship beyond merely “conducting discovery research” and “publishing results” to fully embrace the broader purpose of the professoriate.
