Abstract The research is part of a wider research problem, whose aim is to find an optimal financing model for cultural institutions in Poland. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance indicators of municipal and regional theatres in the context of accessibility to cultural public services. The study forms a verification of previously distinguished indicators of the effectiveness of cultural institutions with a general direction: how to find an optimal financing model of public dramatic theatres. The current research problem is the accessibility of public dramatic theatres in the absence of criteria for the allocation of statutory subsidies. We hypothesise that the absence of criteria for the allocation of statutory subsidies highly diversifies the accessibility of performing arts organisations. The object of study is public dramatic theatres in Poland in the period 2011–2015. We investigated the indicators having an impact on the level of accessibility of public theatres. The statistical methods used allowed us to identify criteria affecting availability. These criteria are recognized in the literature. In addition, we indicate the level of diversification of accessibility by individual public theatres.

AbstractA current research problem in the area of business process management deals with the specification and checking of constraints on resources (e.g., users, agents, autonomous systems, etc.) allowed to be committed for the execution of specific tasks. Indeed, in many real-world situations, role assignments are not enough to assign tasks to the suitable resources. It could be the case that further requirements need to be specified and satisfied. As an example, one would like to avoid that employees that are relatives are assigned to a set of critical tasks in the same process in order to prevent fraud. The formal specification of a business process and its related access control constraints is obtained through a decoration of a classic business process with roles, users, and constraints on their commitment. As a result, such a process specifies a set of tasks that need to be executed by authorized users with respect to some partial order in a way that all authorization constraints are satisfied. Controllability refers in this case to the capability of executing the process satisfying all these constraints, even when some process components, e.g., gateway conditions, can only be observed, but not decided, by the process engine responsible of the execution. In this paper, we propose conditional constraint networks with decisions (CCNDs) as a model to encode business processes that involve access control and conditional branches that may be both controllable and uncontrollable. We define weak, strong, and dynamic controllability of CCNDs as two-player games, classify their computational complexity, and discuss strategy synthesis algorithms. We provide an encoding from the business processes we consider here into CCNDs to exploit off-the-shelf their strategy synthesis algorithms. We introduce $$\textsc {Zeta}$$ Z E T A , a tool for checking controllability of CCNDs, synthesizing execution strategies, and executing controllable CCNDs, by also supporting user interactivity. We use $$\textsc {Zeta}$$ Z E T A to compare with the previous research, provide a new experimental evaluation for CCNDs, and discuss limitations.

Abstract Over the past ten years, film theory has been openly challenged by the tenets of film history, cultural studies, aesthetics and philosophy. The decline of so called “Grand Theory” has made possible the emergence of a new paradigm. This relative eclipsing of film theory is the sign of a three-fold problem within cinema studies. First, film in its new formats and with its new supports is no longer a unique and consistent object which can be subjected to specific forms of research. Film theory’s weakness is thus a sign that “film,” as an object, is now dispersed. Second, cinema has always been at the crossroads of a great number of different fields. Its history is an amalgam of the history of media, the performing arts, visual perception, modern forms of subjectivity, etc. Film theory’s weakness is symptomatic of the urgent need to rethink a history that was never unique or unified. Third, in our post-modern era any recourse to rationality seems to be a trap, the object of study itself being refractory to any kind of schematization. Film theory’s weakness is indicative of the need to maintain an open approach to the subject. Through these three issues, we are witnessing the emergence of a new theory, both informal and dispersed, which is manifested in a variety of discourses that are content to gloss the phenomenon in order better to understand the cinema and facilitate its social recognition.

Abstract  In the discourse of performing art creations, there is an assumption that creating art works is not categorized as a scientific, based on a personal taste and instinctive. This article uses a qualitative research with the performing arts approach. By using ethnographic methods, this article focuses on the role of performers in the process of creating the performing arts. Data are collected through interviews, library research, and document studies. As an object of study, 5 (five) outstanding works will be discussed, namely: Terompong Beruk (1982), Bali Agung (2010), Ratricetana (2011), Terompong Beruk Bangkok (2015), and Stri Wiroda (2015). The results of this study indicate that the models of creative as parts of important processes in creating performances are diverse. Through researching creative processes of the works, performers can create new type of works that are different from others, and distinctive from previous works. The novelty of the creative processes contains the quality of aestethic in forms and contents, as well as their values and functions. Keywords: research, creative processes, new creations, performing arts. Abstrak Dalam pewacanaan hasil penciptaan seni pertunjukan, masih ada anggapan bahwa menciptakan karya seni itu sesuatu yang tidak ilmiah dan hanya berdasarkan selera dan insting belaka. Artikel ini merupakan hasil penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan seni pertunjukan, dengan menggunakan metode etnografi, dengan fokus pada pencipta/seniman seni pertunjukan. Data-data yang dikumpulkan didapat melalui observasi, wawancara, riset kepustakaan, dan studi dokumen. Sebagai objek kajian, akan dibahas 5 (lima) buah karya cipta  seni pertunjukan yang berbasis penelitian, yaitu: Terompong Beruk (1982), Bali Agung (2010), Ratricetana (2011), Terompong Beruk Bangkok (2015), dan Stri Wiroda (2015).  Adapun hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa model proses kreatif yang sangat penting dalam penciptaan seni pertunjukan itu sangat beragam.

Resumen:El artículo se ubica en el campo de la formación investigativa de docentes, para luego centrarse en el proceso de definición del problema de investigación en proyectos educativos; para lo cual plantea la investigación educativa desde la escuela como un proceso emergente del contexto, y a la problematización como proceso de construcción del objeto de estudio. En lo experimental el objetivo es estudiar el proceso de problematización que realizan 15 estudiantes de un programa de maestría en didáctica de las ciencias, a través del análisis de sus proyectos en versión previa y final al curso de investigación educativa. Metodológicamente se definen cuatro categorías de análisis: a) objeto de estudio, b) procesos y contexto, c) soporte teórico, y d) estado del arte. Los resultados muestran que inicialmente la mayoría de los profesores conceptualizan al problema como algo a resolver, pero no como un proceso; posteriormente se identifica que varios logran fundamentar el problema desde procesos de reconocimiento de la comunidad y el contexto. En conclusión se identifica una conceptualización del problema cada vez más próximo a un proceso que se construye en contexto, con soporte en teorías educativas, pero con falencia en cuanto al uso de otras investigaciones que en el campo de investigación pueden aportar a comprender mejor el problema o identificar posibles soluciones. Abstract:The paper is placed in the field of teachers' research training, and then focus on the process of defining the research problem of the projects. In this way here is raised that the educational research from school is a contextual emerging process, and the problematization is a process for building the object of study. Experimentally, the objective is to study the problematization process of 15 students making a master's program in science education, by analyzing theirprojects before and after of an educational research course. Methodologically four analysis categories are defined: a) object of study, b) processes and context, c) theoretical framework, and, d) state of the art. The results show that initially most teachers conceptualize the problem as something to be solved, but not as a process; subsequently at the end of the course, most of teachers achieve to support theoretically the research problem and define it from the community and context. In conclusion the teachers have got a conceptualization of the research problem closer to a building process in context, with support from educational theories, but flaw in the use of other research in the field which could contribute them with a better understand of the problem and to identify possible solutions.

The article presents an analysis of the performance indicators of oil and gas companies, justification of the choice the most appropriate indicators for different company comparison. The author made and introduced indicators’ classification according to various criteria: in the form of expression, depending on the object of study and others. To compare companies, you can not use indicators which were counted by these companies because of the different structure of indicators. In this case, you need to count all indexes by your own using financial reports to make a united structure. The aim of the work is evaluation of the efficiency of companies of oil and gas complex and making a factor analysis of indicators of efficiency. To fulfill the goal author used formulas for counting indicators. One of the results of this work is that ROE (Return On Equity) is one of the most important and representative indexes because it shows how effective money of shareholders is used. It has a sense because all analyzed companies are joint-stock. Using a decomposition and factor analysis of ROE author showed that with an increase in net profit and equity at the same percentage, the return on equity is more sensitive to changes in net profit. And in the situation of decreasing the same elements, ROE is more sensitive to changes in equity.

The scientific article has the theme "The evolution of oral rehabilitation through implantology". The objective of this study is to carry out a literary review on dental implants and to analyze local and systemic factors in the process of osseointegration in oral rehabilitation through dental implants. Our object of study, dental implants, has become an alternative for people who have lost one or more dental elements, and can now count on dental implants that replace the lost dental element. The research problem involves the following questions: Why are there still recurring failures in the osseointegration process? And what does the literature in the area comment and discuss on the topic? This revisionary research is important and justified because, in recent years, we have observed that osseointegration and the installation of implant-supported dental rostheses has become a viable and safe alternative for patients in edentulous situations, specially with regard to rehabilitation procedures. This study hypothesizes that there are still recurrent failures that occur during the period of osseointegration and can be triggered by several local and systemic factors. A bibliographic research was carried out, researching materials already prepared and documentary research of materials not yet analyzed. The initial methodological procedure was to survey scientific articles and books. It was intended to contribute to the knowledge of science and scientific and academic research in the field of dentistry.

The important factor of business sustainability is human capital. In this regard, there is need to estimate human potential, concerning the effectiveness of its management and commercialization probability. The current research problem lays upon the human potential management and the possibility of its commercialization. The paper aims to provide scientific support on human potential and human capital theories, concerning their connection within the system of a sustainable business development. The research methodology is based on theoretical and methodological approaches of Ukrainian and foreign experts from the last ten years, reflecting human capital and human potential concepts, taking into account business needs. The main part of research highlights the special status of human potential, based on its specific characteristics, including network effects, the ability to convert human potential benefits into significant social and economic effects, hybrid and multiplicative. The paper proposes a new methodological approach on technology for human potential commercialization and management. Human potential commercialization measurement is offered as a new model to assess the significance of human potential and its managerial effectiveness estimation. The study results can be used within programs for sustainable and social business development. More extensive study is required to prove the proposed methodological approach effectiveness within different sectors and branches.
