The literature on clinical training lacks identifications of the factors that are most relevant in training programs; accordingly, the main aim of this work is to fill this research gap by assessing which factors that trainers, trainees and psychotherapists consider most relevant in psychotherapy training programs. A secondary aim is to identify whether these factors differ among trainers, trainees and psychotherapists. An ad hoc questionnaire was created and administered at 24 psychotherapy schools from 14 institutions; the sample included 641 trainees, 172 trainers and 218 psychotherapists of various theoretical orientations. The questionnaire included 63 items and used a 5-point Likert scale. An exploratory factor analysis was completed to identify the latent structure. The reliability of the dimensions was then checked. Finally, an analysis of variance and a multivariate analysis of variance were completed to achieve the study’s aims. Four factors emerged from the study’s results: trainers’ relational characteristics, supervision, transmission of clinical know-how, and theoretical background and technical support. All these factors displayed acceptable reliability and internal consistency. Moreover, their relative rankings varied based on the participants’ roles and theoretical backgrounds. This study’s results indicate that the new instrument’s psychometric qualities are acceptable. It thus could be used to develop a new approach to psychotherapy training, as this study’s results regarding trainees’ needs underline the differences between trainees’ perceptions of those needs, as compared to trainers’ and psychotherapists’ perceptions.

Keeping in mind the importance and well growing Pythagorean fuzzy sets, in this paper, some novel operators for Pythagorean fuzzy sets and their properties are demonstrated. In this paper, we develop a comprehensive model to tackle decision-making problems where strong points of view are in the favour and against the some projects, entities or plans. Therefore, a new approach, based on Pythagorean fuzzy set models by means of Pythagorean fuzzy Dombi aggregation operators is proposed. An approach to deal with decision-making problems using Pythagorean Dombi averaging and Dombi geometric aggregation operators is established. This model has a stronger capability than existing averaging, geometric, Einstein, logarithmic averaging and logarithmic geometric aggregation operators for Pythagorean fuzzy information. Finally, the proposed method is demonstrated through an example of how the proposed method helps us and is effective in decision-making problems.

It is known that two linguistic disciplines — phonetics and orthoepy — coexist on the sound level of the Russian language. The question of the relationship between the status, object and tasks of these sections as independent linguistic disciplines is debatable. In the works of modern scientists, two main approaches to the definition of phonetics and orthoepy can be found. Some linguists traditionally believe that both sections of the science of spoken speech study the same language material, but from different angles. Others attempt to differentiate the areas of responsibility of phonetics and orthoepy, showing that they operate in principle with different sound facts. The article formulates and analyzes these points of view and offers a new approach that allows not to contrast phonetics and orthoepy, but to combine them on the basis of the principle of positional structure. The implementation of a phoneme under the action of an orthoepic regularity is probabilistically predicted by a number of factors of different nature — phonetic, lexical, grammatical, word-forming, graphic and sociolinguistic, which were previously proposed to be called orthoepic positions. These factors do not operate in isolation, but there is a complex hierarchical system of relationships between them. It is possible to provide a description of the sound system of the Russian language, in which pronouncing patterns are divided not into phonetic and orthoepic, but into positional and non-positional. The concepts of phonetic and orthoepic positions can either be combined into a single concept of pronouncing positions, or, while preserving the concepts of phonetic and orthoepic positions, the former can be considered as a particular manifestation of the latter, which removes the question of differences between phonetics and orthoepy.

An enterprise operating in terms of market economy must always set itself the task of further development and improvement in order to be successful and competitive. To solve this problem, it is necessary to produce a development strategy. This problem is all the more relevant for small enterprises, which find it more difficult than large enterprises to survive in the competition. Therefore, small businesses face the task of developing and implementing such a strategy for their development, which allows them to clearly define their goals and outline the ways to achieve them. The article considers various points of view on the concept of «strategy», the classification of strategies that exist in the scientific literature, including those applied to small businesses, brings forth the authors' point of view on this concept. It pays a particular attention to the proposed approach to the process of strategy formation and the mechanism of its implementation in relation to small businesses. It makes a conclusion that on the basis of the systematic approach the strategy under development should be comprehensive and include such elements as marketing, product, production, personnel, management, financial strategy and risk strategies. It brings forth a description of the content of each element. It examines an algorithm for developing an integrated strategy for development of small businesses, as well as a mechanism for implementing the strategy.

Since the ancient times we found the references on risk, starting from the Greek tragedies that narrate about risk as a phenomenon which is accompanied by uncertainty in decision-making process. In the Renaissance era when people dropped many inhibitions and questioned old beliefs and points of view then a serious study of problem starts. This article is about the theoretical analysis of political risk. Points of view of Russian and other foreign researches are included in this article. The article contains the definition of political risk by different representatives, of the political risk influence on investment climate, of likelihood of adverse consequences in political decisions that were made in the face of uncertainty, when recourses are scarce, (in time, information and other), which leads to prejudice for the members of political actions and leads to unwanted events. In the conclusion, the author tries to give its own definition of political risk.

This essay develops a new approach to print narratives about theatregoing during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Immensely popular with contemporary readers, theatrical memoirs and diaries have been a boon to theatre historians of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; but these texts have more often been studied in spite of their subjective perspectives than because of them. Building on work in theatre historiography and audience studies, this essay seeks to transform the spectator’s discursive acts of shaping, framing, and stressing from an obstacle into an opportunity. In order to resituate historical spectator narratives in a wider narrative context, I read diaries and essays by Henry Crabb Robinson and Lady Maud Tree in conversation with Charlotte Brontë’s fictional scenes of spectatorship in Villette. This intertextual approach, I suggest, yields a more complete understanding of how different points of view facilitated claims about performance. In particular, I explore how gender affected point of view. While male reviewers and diarists often employ a disinterested narrative persona that de-emphasises their own bodies, I argue that many actress autobiographies craft an alternative form of narrative authority that makes use of the limitations of embodiment – qualities like immobility, bodily sensation, and circumscribed vision.

The aim of planning the development of forest roads is to optimise the harvest of wood. Such planning is based not only on physical, technical, social and economical points of view, but also on biodiversity and the landscape. After determining the various needs, communication and collaboration should play an important role in this new approach. This article discusses the steps to be taken, the questions to be answered and the needs to be met.

ResumenEste artículo presenta un análisis de los procesos de creación de una selección de artistas digitales —o artistas que hacen uso de la tecnología con obras digitales- mexicanos, desde la óptica de las fases del proceso de creación, a saber, preparación, incubación/intuición, evaluación, elaboración y comunicación. Para tal fin, se realizaron una serie de entrevistas a los artistas de la muestra, donde se indagó sobre sus procesos de producción, dando como resultado una visión comparativa de dichos procesos, así como el análisis derivado de los mismos. Lo anterior con el propósito de, por una parte, comprender los procesos, así comoel Arte digital, que, si bien no es un ámbito nuevo, comúnmente se tiene poca familiaridad con el mismo. El estudio de los procesos de producción a través de las fases del proceso de creación aquí presentadas, ofrecen una aproximación distinta al Arte digital, de tal manera que, a través del mismo se busca contribuir a ampliar los límites del conocimiento en tornoal Arte digital y sus artistas, así como arrojar luz a los procesos de creación artística que usualmente se llevan a cabo en el ámbito de lo privado.AbstractThis article shows an analysis of processes of creation of several digital artists and artists who use various forms of art and technology in Mexico. There are different points of view that we can adopt to do this, but we are going to use the five stages of creation processes (preparation, incubation-intuition, evaluation, elaboration and communication),because brought a new approach to this research. For that purpose, special interviews have been made focus on the processes of production of some of the artistic processes, as a consequence, it was possible to compare the results to categorize and perform the analysis of them, aiming the comprehension of the processes and the artistic works of the DigitalArt realm. We know the Digital Art begin around the sixties, because of that it is not a new form of art, but still is an original form of art. That is why this research explores Digital Art through the processes of creation and production as a way to contribute to the knowledge of Digital Art, their artists and the processes that commonly take place privately.
