Objectives: At present, the theoretical study on supervisors' remuneration under the Company Law is still too principled, and many "chaos" occur in the remuneration practices for supervisors. First, the lack of clear understanding of the incentive function and institutional specificities of supervisors' remuneration results in many problems in the application of supervisors' remuneration in practice, as well as the ignoration of the Board of Supervisors in corporation governance. Second, rather than reaching the intended effect, the legislative approach of authorized "blank" intentionally adopted under the Company Law leaves an inducement for the ineffective supervision of supervisors in practice. Third, there is not only a lack of theoretically self-consistent discussion on the special problems of concurrent supervisors and employee supervisors' remuneration, but also a divorce of the institutional structure and application from good expectations. If the research background of the problem is placed in "tobacco regulatory science", it will be found that there is no inevitable connection between supervisors' compliance expectations and remuneration, but mainly depends on the provisions of legislation. Going back and forth between theory and practice of supervisors' remuneration, this paper combs and interprets the issue of supervisors' remuneration from the perspective of the legislative provisions and theoretical study under the Company Law, and analyzes the difference between the reality and the necessity of the Company Law with respect to the issue of supervisors' remuneration in the light of the legal principle of the Company Law, with the view to improvement of the rules of the Company Law.

Introduction to International Relations provides a concise introduction to the principal international relations theories, and explores how theory can be used to analyse contemporary issues. Readers are introduced to the most important theories, encompassing both classical and contemporary approaches and debates. Throughout the text, the chapters encourage readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the theories presented, and the major points of contention between them. In so doing, the text helps the reader to build a clear understanding of how major theoretical debates link up with each other, and how the structure of the discipline of international relations is established. The book places a strong emphasis throughout on the relationship between theory and practice, carefully explaining how theories organise and shape our view of the world. Topics include realism, liberalism, International Society, International Political Economy, social constructivism, post-positivism in international relations, and foreign policy. A chapter is dedicated to key global issues and how theory can be used as a tool to analyse and interpret these issues. The text is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre, which includes: short case studies, review questions, annotated web links, and a flashcard glossary.

<p>Several thinkers developed theories to understand the learning process and make it more effective. Clark Leonard Hull, Donald Olding Hebb, and Kurt Lewin are three theorists who, in different contexts, contributed to this debate. This paper aims to study the contribution of these authors to understand the role of contextualized and motivational educational practices in the learning process. Therefore, we developed exploratory research with qualitative/quantitative aspects. In addition to the theoretical study, we wrote a report of the experience on a technical visit to Engenho Triunfo - Areia (PB) with 22 postgrad students in Professional Education, accompanied by a team of five professors. They completed an online self-elaborated questionnaire about the topic of the research. Results indicated that Hebb’s study of neural networks of the learning and motivation curve proposed by Hull, and Lewin’s idea of living space, help us to theoretically understand the importance of contextualized and motivational education for the learning process. The analysis of the experience of the technical visit corroborated this idea, as participants attested to the contribution of this experience to learning through contextualization, the relationship between theory and practice and interdisciplinarity and motivation.</p>

This introduction provides a general overview of the book. It explains how the book combines anthropology and Islamicist history to investigate contemporary Egyptian religious education. It also explains that the aim of the book is to show how hermeneutic theory and practice theory can be brought together to analyze the Islamic legal tradition. The introduction addresses a number of methodological issues, including the problems with the trouble case method. It also covers the difference between hermeneutic theory and practice theory, which are both concerned with the relationship between action and mind, but analyze this relationship in different ways. It ends with an outline of the different sections and chapters in the book.

The theoretical study aims at developing the functional approach to the choice of economic decisions by revising rationalistic criteria with respect to the relationship between efficiency and dysfunction as a parameter characterizing the disorder (failure to perform) the functions of the controlled system. From this perspective, there was no solution to this scientific problem. The paper focuses on the analysis of criteria for making economic choice from the available alternatives using the case of investment and technological choice, i.e. the distribution of resources among areas of use, as well as technological substitution and supplement. Decision theory applied to the problem of choosing from economic alternatives constitutes the methodological basis of the study. The research methods are structural and mathematical functional analysis. We introduce an additional decisionmaking criterion reduced to an assessment of the controlled system’s dysfunction while establishing its possible relationship with the efficient functioning. This allows one to prove that the difference in the laws of change in the number of functions performed and their total number in an economic system of any level of complexity, as well as the law of behaviour of costs incurred in the implementation of the functions, determines the relationship between dysfunction and the efficiency of functioning. The results show that the use of rationalistic criteria, such as the greatest manufacturability and the lowest costs, does not take into account the “structural effect” of distribution and functional use of the resource received by the object. Thus, the obtained ratios of dysfunction and efficiency are an additional useful criterion when weighing alternatives.

This introductory chapter provides an overview of William Tecumseh Sherman, one of the architects of the northern victory in the American Civil War in 1865. Sherman is often depicted as a ruthless, utterly heartless, and unprincipled destroyer. During his Marches across Georgia and the Carolinas in 1864–65, the Confederate press likened his armies to the pillaging hordes of barbarians that despoiled the Western Roman Empire during its death throes. Sherman’s campaigns appeared prophetic—but he seemed a prophet of doom. However, this diabolical image veers drastically from the reality of the historical Sherman. Sherman’s military career should be assessed within the context of his own time. Viewed in the longer stream of Western military history, Sherman was not prophetic and did not anticipate the methods used during the two World Wars of the twentieth century. He simply recognized with great clarity that warfare is cruel and pitiless—a veritable scourge—and does not provide ready-made protection for the weaker side. Historians have often considered the relationship between military thought and execution, the difference between theory and practice, as puzzling, even intractable or enigmatic. In reappraising Sherman’s military conduct, and the thinking that lay behind it, the main aim of this book is to show how these two sides of one of the most admired but also most condemned of American commanders, the thinker and the doer, intermesh.

AbstractUnion with Christ was a key doctrine for second-generation Reformed theologian Girolamo Zanchi. As a Thomist, Zanchi shared similar elements with Thomas Aquinas in his understanding of salvation as participatio, but his understanding of union with Christ differed with regard to the difference between infused and imputed righteousness. Unlike Aquinas’s doctrine of infused righteousness, Zanchi argued for imputed righteousness, which was both the foundation for one’s justification in this life as well as appearing before the divine bar at the final judgment. Zanchi’s doctrine of union with Christ has the utmost significance for personal eschatology and the judgment believers undergo at the great assize, insights that are worth retrieving for a clear understanding of the relationship between justification and the final judgement.
