The Relationship

The article is an attempt to introduce into the school practice a new interdisciplinary trend – ecological humanities. As we observe the return on Earth, ongoing youth climate strikes and students’ increased interest taken in global warming, reading of the current literature canon should be profiled in order to emphasise the relationship between a human and the environment. Additionally, it is essential to introduce new content to education, as it will enable a critique of human arrogance and short-sighted approach, as well as a more profound reflection on the future.

What is the relationship between extinction and disability? As “we” face a future of resource-depletion, eco-system collapse, and runaway global warming, it might seem more urgent than ever to develop new forms of rationality and technology to allow us to survive. The conception of survival, or living-on, is at the heart of Derrida’s deconstruction, as is an inherently promissory account of time and experience. In the spirit of deconstruction, this chapter looks at the ways in which ability, capacity, and radically future promising are intertwined with an inflated and unsustainable mode of existence. Just as extinction threats pose necessary questions to the present regarding what life or lives will survive into the future, so the legacy of philosophy’s past and conditions pose questions as to the forms of life that have been granted a prima facie right to survival.

The Relationship

With the continuous growth of global warming and traffic volume, rutting deformation is common on road surfaces. A new type of pavement mixture, a semiflexible mixture, was proposed to solve the easy deformation and low riding quality of traditional pavement mixtures. It can be divided into pouring type and mixing type according to the construction method. However, there is little research on mixed semiflexible mixtures (i.e., multiplex organic hydraulicity (MOH) mixtures) in the current literature, so the deformation of pavement under driving loads was studied based on the MOH mixture in this paper. Four types of pavement composed of the traditional mixture and MOH mixture (i.e., AC13-AC20, AC13-MOH, MOH-MOH, and MOH-AC20) were selected to achieve the purpose of the research. Based on these four types of pavement, the deformation of the pavement was studied by simulations and experiments. The results show that the deformation of the upper layer is almost the same for these four types of pavement and that the deformation of the middle layer changes substantially for these four types of pavement. In regard to the deformation, the relationship is MOH-MOH < AC13-MOH < MOH-AC20 < AC13-AC20. In addition, the contribution rate of the deformation of the middle layer is much greater than that of the upper layer. The antideforming ability of the whole pavement can be improved by using the MOH mixture as the middle layer of the pavement, which means that the performance of the MOH mixture can achieve the best performance when it is applied to the middle layer.

The Relationship

The relationship between sport and the natural environment is bidirectional and critical to the production of sport products, events, and experiences. Researchers have studied sport and the natural environment within the various subdisciplines of sport management. However, given the changing climate and mounting public concern for the environment, there is pressure to reconsider the relevance and significance of the natural environment, which is taken for granted in managerial contexts. Reflecting the importance of the natural environment, the robustness of the current literature, and the potential for the future, we propose a new subdiscipline of sport management called sport ecology. Thus, we proposed, in this paper, a definition for sport ecology, (re)introduced key concepts related to this subdiscipline (e.g., sustainability, green), and highlighted the leading research that serves as the foundation for sport ecology. We concluded with a discussion on the ways sport ecology can inform—and be informed by—other subdisciplines of sport management.

The Relationship

This article presents two scenarios that might have a huge influence for the prospects of genocide in the future: the carrying capacity of the planet and global warming. The key point about the pursuit of this theme is that the disruptive potential of climate change, whether writ small in terms of the single state, or writ large in terms of the international system, is entirely exponential. It also hints the necessity for a paradigmatic shift in the relationship not only to each other but to the precious planet if people are to avoid not simply genocide but omnicide. For those who would seek to avoid genocide in the twenty-first century, the task cannot somehow be reduced to Lemkin's law. The phenomenon cannot be contained within this box: it is too fundamental a by-product of a more general dysfunction, not to say, even as it transmutes into persistent post-genocide.

The Relationship

The topic of what interviews measure has received a great deal of attention over the years. One line of research has investigated the relationship between interviews and the construct of cognitive ability. A previous meta-analysis reported an overall corrected correlation of .40 ( Huffcutt, Roth, & McDaniel, 1996 ). A more recent meta-analysis reported a noticeably lower corrected correlation of .27 ( Berry, Sackett, & Landers, 2007 ). After reviewing both meta-analyses, it appears that the two studies posed different research questions. Further, there were a number of coding judgments in Berry et al. that merit review, and there was no moderator analysis for educational versus employment interviews. As a result, we reanalyzed the work by Berry et al. and found a corrected correlation of .42 for employment interviews (.15 higher than Berry et al., a 56% increase). Further, educational interviews were associated with a corrected correlation of .21, supporting their influence as a moderator. We suggest a better estimate of the correlation between employment interviews and cognitive ability is .42, and this takes us “back to the future” in that the better overall estimate of the employment interviews – cognitive ability relationship is roughly .40. This difference has implications for what is being measured by interviews and their incremental validity.

Objectively and reliably determined indicators of rheological properties of the dough were identified using the alveograph device to create a system of classifications of wheat and flour from it for the intended purpose in the future. The analysis of the relationship of standardized quality indicators, as well as newly developed indicators for identifying them, differentiating the quality of wheat flour for the intended purpose, i.e. for finished products. To do this, we use mathematical statistics methods.

Radiomics is a science that investigates a large number of features from medical images using data-characterisation algorithms, with the aim to analyse disease characteristics that are indistinguishable to the naked eye. Radiogenomics attempts to establish and examine the relationship between tumour genomic characteristics and their radiologic appearance. Although there is certainly a lot to learn from these relationships, one could ask the question: what is the practical significance of radiogenomic discoveries? This increasing interest in such applications inevitably raises numerous legal and ethical questions. In an environment such as the technology field, which changes quickly and unpredictably, regulations need to be timely in order to be relevant.  In this paper, issues that must be solved to make the future applications of this innovative technology safe and useful are analysed.

The Relationship

The paper discusses the problems of fading and ending of business relationships in the sphere of professional services i.e. the phase of a relationship dissolution resulting from a client's or a firm's decision to end it. This phase includes, among others, determining the causes of the relationship dissolution and drawing conclusions for the future in order to prevent losing the most lucrative clients. Both in theory and in practice, relationship ending is perceived as something stretched in time i.e. consisting of numerous stages and influenced by numerous factors and events.The aim of the present paper is an analysis of the modern literature on the causes and mechanisms of business relationships termination in the sphere of professional services as well as indicating some possibilities of a more effective and efficient management of these relations.
