Background:Scholars depict a deep connection between the way children remember their personal past and imagine the present and the future (Vygotskji, 2004; Brockmeier, 2015). Nevertheless, several studies indicate that children are prone to relate well-formed stories about past personal events but report difficulties in constructing narratives from fictional events. Objective:The present study aims to investigate the differences between school-aged children’s personal and fictional narratives about a journey, considering different types of stories they structured. Methods:220. 8 to 10-year old children randomly divided into three groups, performed a narrative on a journey: 70 narrated a memory on a journey, 92 narrated an ideal trip and 58 narrated a fictional story from a given orientation. The presence and the type of complicating action were assessed to investigate children's ability to present well-structured narratives. Results:The results showed that children were more able to construct stories with complicating action when they narrated personal events and when they were scaffolded by an incipit. Furthermore, in fictional narratives with incipit, children narrated multiple Complicating action creating a continuous violation of canonicity. Conclusions: The authors discuss the results considering the difference between narrative and narrativization of personal and fictional events and the importance of scaffolding children’s narrative skills.

This chapter discusses the argument of Sections 19-27 of G.E.M. Anscombe’s Intention. It begins by considering Anscombe’s arguments that action is not intentional because of an “extra feature” of the agent, and that the concept of intentional action, as something to which a special sense of “Why?” can be given application, depends on the possibility of expressing intention for the future and describing one’s further intentions in acting. The chapter then considers Anscombe’s treatment of these last two concepts, showing how they yield a rich account of action as a teleological unity. Consideration is paid to the difference between Anscombe’s account of the unity of action and that of Donald Davidson. Finally, Anscombe’s account of the distinction between intention and foresight is discussed, with particular attention to the way that foreseen consequences stand in a different relation of dependency to an action than things that a person brings about intentionally.

This chapter discusses the argument of Sections 1-4 of G.E.M. Anscombe’s Intention. Attention is paid to the “three headings” under which she introduces her topic: expression of intention, intentional action, and intention in acting; and then to her preliminary discussion of expression of intention. Important concepts that are discussed in this chapter include the relation between the expression of intention and prediction, the question of what is described in expressing an intention, the difference between how expressions of intention and estimates of the future are grounded or justified, and the way that expressions of intention set the standard of correctness for the events that they describe. The chapter also explores Anscombe’s reasons for considering the topic of intentional action before attempting to characterize intention as an inner state of mind.

In this paper, different types of noises, the sensing-noise and the acting-noise, are brought into the extended adaptive Attractive/Repulsive (A/R) swarming models to explore the role of noise in swarming formations. The difference between these two extended A/R models consists in the way in which the noise is introduced. The sensing-noise is added to the inputs of the swarming system which results in the uncertainty of the sensed information for agents, and it affects the whole processes of the swarming system. The acting-noise is added to the outputs of the swarming system, which does not affect the information-sensing and decision-making processes of the system, but it directly affects the action of swarms. With numerical simulations and analyses, the results show that the convergence of the expected swarming formation and the cohesiveness of the swarms may be affected to various degrees and suffered from certain negative impact due to the interference of different noises. We conclude that both the convergence and the cohesiveness are much more sensitive to the sensing-noise, and the model with acting-noise will be robust compared with the model with sensing-noise. Meanwhile we point out that, in the model with the interference of sensing-noise, too strong noises will lead to erroneous judgments of A/R function for agents. The sensed neighbor distance may fall into the zone of attraction, the zone of repulsion, or it may even fall into the zone of Non-A/R area. The original definite A/R function which is determined by the definite neighbor distance will evolve into the indefinite A/R function which is determined by the indefinite sensed neighbor distance. Along with the increase of the probability of such misjudgments, the effect of the A/R model will be progressively weakened. However, such phenomenon does not exist in the A/R model with the interference of acting-noise, in which the strong acting-noise leads the agents move randomly and spread apart gradually.

Іntrоductіоn. Persоnnel management іs a multіfaceted and extremely cоmplex prоcess, characterіzed by іts specіfіc features and patterns. Tоday, effectіve HR management іs оne оf the key pоіnts іn іmprоvіng prоductіvіty and creatіng cоmpetіtіve prоducts. Іncоmpetence оf managers іn thіs fіeld leads tо іneffіcіent use оf human resоurces іn the cоndіtіоns оf fіerce cоmpetіtіоn amоng exіstіng enterprіses. Іn thіs regard, enterprіses need tо cоnduct a cоmprehensіve analysіs that wіll іdentіfy prоblems and prevent them frоm оccurrіng іn the future. Such an analysіs may be presented іn the fоrm оf a staff audіt, hr audіt, persоnnel audіt. At the same tіme, sіnce thіs cоncept іs bоrrоwed frоm іnternatіоnal experіence, іt іs apprоprіate tо іnvestіgate this dіfference between оf the cоncepts оf “HR audіt”, “staff audіt”, “persоnnel audіt” іn the іnternatіоnal practіce. Aіm and tasks. The purpоse оf the research іs tо study the іnternatіоnal practіce оf applyіng the cоncepts оf «HR audіt», «staff audіt», «persоnnel audіt». Results. Оrganіzatіоns are cоntinuоusly evоlvіng. But if we are gоing tо talk abоut the pоlіcіes and prоcedures, they оften remaіn unchanged. Sо tо dіmіnіsh legal іssues and tо be sure that a cоmpany stіll cоmplіes wіth the labоr and emplоyment laws, іt іs іmpоrtant tо perfоrm an audіt in personnel management sphere. It cоuld sоund like dauntіng, but, really, іt іs a valuable tооl that can help the cоmpany tо stay up tо date and be able tо thrіve all the time. The analysis of the use of the terms "human resource audit", "staff audit", "personal audit" in international practice is carried out. The connection between the term "HR audit" and personnel management is justified. The difference in the application of concepts in international practice is determined. Cоnclusіоns. The term “HR audіt” іs mоre new and wіder, than “persоnnel audіt” оr “staff audіt”. Cоmpanies need tо use this audіt tо prоvіde recоmmendatіоns whіch wіll help them tо іmprоve оperatіоns, prоductivity, effectiveness. As a  rule, HR prоfessіоnals can perfоrm this analysis, this assessment by themselves, but they alsо can hіre an external оrganizatiоns. Systematіcally cоnductіng an HR audіt wіll  alsо make a pоsіtіve impact оn the emplоyees, knоwіng that their cоmpany takes an actіve steps tо make better theirs wоrkіng cоndіtіоns. Such changes wіll pоsitively influenced the way оf wоrkіng and alsо іncreased emplоyee mоrale.

Abstract. Power facilitates goal pursuit, but how does power affect the way people respond to conflict between their multiple goals? Our results showed that higher trait power was associated with reduced experience of conflict in scenarios describing multiple goals (Study 1) and between personal goals (Study 2). Moreover, manipulated low power increased individuals’ experience of goal conflict relative to high power and a control condition (Studies 3 and 4), with the consequence that they planned to invest less into the pursuit of their goals in the future. With its focus on multiple goals and individuals’ experiences during goal pursuit rather than objective performance, the present research uses new angles to examine power effects on goal pursuit.

Abstract. This research took place just after the end of the protests following the killing of a 16-year-old boy by a policeman in Greece in December 2008. Participants (N = 224) were 16-year-olds in different schools in Attiki. Informed by the Politicized Collective Identity Model ( Simon & Klandermans, 2001 ), a questionnaire measuring grievances, adversarial attributions, emotions, vulnerability, identifications with students and activists, and questions about justice and Greek society in the future, as well as about youngsters’ participation in different actions, was completed. Four profiles of the participants emerged from a cluster analysis using representations of the conflict, emotions, and identifications with activists and students. These profiles differed on beliefs about the future of Greece, participants’ economic vulnerability, and forms of participation. Importantly, the clusters corresponded to students from schools of different socioeconomic areas. The results indicate that the way young people interpret the events and the context, their levels of identification, and the way they represent society are important factors of their political socialization that impacts on their forms of participation. Political socialization seems to be related to youngsters’ position in society which probably constitutes an important anchoring point of their interpretation of the world.

This paper attempts to rethink difference and divisibility as conditions of (im)possibility for love and survival in the wake of Derrida's newly discovered—and just recently published—Geschlecht III. I argue that Derrida's deconstruction of what he calls ‘the grand logic of philosophy’ allows us to think love and survival without positing unicity as a sine qua non. This hypothesis is tested in and through a deconstructive reading of Heidegger's second essay on Trakl in On the Way to Language, where Heidegger's phonocentrism and surreptitious nationalism converge in an effort to ‘save the earth’ from a ‘degenerate’ Geschlecht that cannot survive the internal diremption between Geschlechter. I show that one way of problematizing Heidegger's claim is to point to the blank spaces in the ‘E i n’ of Trakl's ‘E i n Geschlecht’, an internal fissuring in the very word Heidegger mobilizes in order to secure the future of mankind.
