In a recent article Fred Ablondi compares the different approaches to occasionalism put forward by two eighteenth-century Newtonians, Colin Maclaurin and Andrew Baxter. The goal of this short essay is to respond to Ablondi by clarifying some key features of Maclaurin's views on occasionalism and the cause of gravitational attraction. In particular, I explore Maclaurin's matter theory, his views on the explanatory limits of mechanism, and his appeals to the authority of Newton. This leads to a clearer picture of the way in which Maclaurin understood gravitational attraction and the workings of nature.

Learning to read is challenging for children who have hearing impairments and concurrent intellectual disabilities because they face barriers due to both conditions. In many developmental domains, including executive functioning and language development, auditory and intellectual disabilities mutually influence each other; a deficit in one domain hinders coping mechanisms to compensate for distortions in the other. The resulting impact is more than the sum of the parts. It affects the way students learn to read and the way they process written text in many ways. Little is known about the key factors in literacy development for children with both hearing impairments and intellectual disabilities. This chapter integrates recent findings on reading development in children with both of these conditions to define a research base for two exploratory studies on literacy attainment in these learners. Recommendations for literacy education are based on these studies.

The authors investigated several import retail e-commerce sellers through questionnaires and selected several types of variables based on Porter's competitive strategy theory. Then the authors used the panel data to empirically verify theoretical consumptions based on samples got by Python method from Jingdong Global Purchases and Tmall International, the top two e-commerce platforms in China. Results validated the three major competitive strategies that could enhance the competitive advantages to import retail e-commerce sellers. As it was not applied to all platforms and commodities, sellers should make different strategies through different platforms and commodities. This article has theoretical significance that filled in the gaps on import retail e-commerce sellers' competition. It also has certain practical significance by providing references for sellers on how to improve their competitive advantages, promote healthy competition and development of the import retail e-commerce, even to facilitate the structure adjustment of consumption and foreign trade in China.

На основе анализа тенденций развития агропромышленного комплекса России за последние годы и с учетом изменения роста доходов населения и структуры потребления основных продуктов питания предложены модели построения конкурентных стратегий для предприятий пищевой промышленности. Представлена классификация базовых конкурентных стратегий, описаны их особенности и преимущества в различных ситуациях на рынке. Предложен концептуальный подход к формированию конкурентных стратегий предприятия, основанный на анализе его возможного развития и ситуации в отрасли и предполагающий создание долгосрочных конкурентных преимуществ предприятия на основе его позиционирования на рынке. Рассмотрена стратегия дифференциации и ее особенности в сравнении с другими конкурентными стратегиями. Представлены возможности создания дополнительной покупательской ценности продукта. Предложен алгоритм разработки и реализации конкурентной стратегии предприятия, позволяющий систематизировать аналитические данные, минимизировать разрыв между планируемыми и фактическими экономическими показателями предприятия и способствующий своевременной корректировке избранной конкурентной стратегии. Based on the analysis of trends in the development of the Russian agro-industrial complex in recent years and taking into account changes in the growth of household income and the structure of consumption of basic food products, models for building competitive strategies for food industry enterprises are proposed. The classification of basic competitive strategies is presented; their features and advantages in various market situations are described. A conceptual approach to the formation of competitive strategies of the enterprise, based on the analysis of its possible development and the situation in the industry and involving the creation of long-term competitive advantages of the enterprise based on its positioning in the market, is proposed. The differentiation strategy and its features in comparison with other competitive strategies are considered. The possibilities of creating additional customer value of the product are presented. An algorithm for the development and implementation of the competitive strategy of the enterprise, which allows to systematize analytical data, minimize the gap between the planned and actual economic indicators of the enterprise and contributes to the timely adjustment of the chosen competitive strategy, is proposed.

As electronic commerce (e-commerce) is becoming the way to trade, it is the large corporations that are exploiting their finances and technical expertise to jump into this abyss. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are finding too many obstacles to participate in e-commerce. SMEs in Asia Pacific in particular, face many obstacles and thus are still not comfortable with the concept of putting their business online, conducting transactions online or revamping entire business processes. This chapter describes the key factors that are hindering SMEs’ participation in e-commerce and the obstacles to SMEs for e-adoption in Asia Pacific. Although this study is limited to the Asia Pacific region many of the findings do contribute significantly to the factors hindering all SMEs’ e-adoption efforts.

Contexts shape the way the performance appraisal (PA) and performance management (PM) systems are designed and utilized. Yet, the analysis of situations, especially more macro-context, including cultural, economic, and political/legal values, is one of the most underresearched areas in applied psychology despite the fact that context is likely to be critical to understanding the success and the failures associated with individual and team PM in organizations. To date, most research on situations has focused on proximal factors that impinge directly on raters’ and ratees’ motivation and goals, with less attention given to variations in macro and meso context across and within organizations, nations, and cultures. In the present chapter, the current research linking context with PA and PM is reviewed. Drawing from both situational strength and institutional theories, the mechanisms (e.g., norms and constraints) by which situations can shape the design and process of PA/PM within and across organizations are discussed. The chapter concludes by translating key features from the context and situation assessment literature into action that can be taken by industrial and organizational psychologists to help improve PA/PM research and practice in organizations.

This chapter covers Chapters 3 and 4 of The Ethical Demand. In these chapters, Løgstrup adds to his characterization of the demand by claiming that it is ‘radical’. He explains this radicality in terms of various further key features, including the way it may intrude on our lives and pick us out as individuals, while even the enemy is included in the requirement on us to care. At the same time, Løgstrup argues that we do not have the right to make the demand, while also denying that it is ‘limitless’. The features of the demand that make it radical distinguish it from the social norms, while the unconditional and absolute nature of the demand contrasts with the variable character of such norms, a contrast which he uses to respond to the challenge of relativism.

The key features of a liberal political order, and the way the liberal rule of law makes possible a dynamic, pluralistic civil society are explicated. In addition, the ways that civil society can be an important locus of moral education is explained. This is the basis for arguing that forms of punishment that diminish persons as agents are especially objectionable, and at odds with liberal principles.
