We extend the notion of compositional associative rewriting as recently studied in the rule algebra framework literature to the setting of rewriting rules with conditions. Our methodology is category-theoretical in nature, where the definition of rule composition operations encodes the non-deterministic sequential concurrent application of rules in Double-Pushout (DPO) and Sesqui-Pushout (SqPO) rewriting with application conditions based upon M-adhesive categories. We uncover an intricate interplay between the category-theoretical concepts of conditions on rules and morphisms, the compositionality and compatibility of certain shift and transport constructions for conditions, and thirdly the property of associativity of the composition of rules.

This essay suggests that the ultraminor can function as a paradigm to examine literature that emphasizes the minority status of the language in which it is composed. Engaging with Deleuze and Guattari’s definition of minor literature and with Pascale Casanova and Lawrence Venuti’s reflections on the role of translation in the shaping of world literature, it develops a comparison between two rewritings of Shakespeare into Italian dialects: Eduardo De Filippo’s translation of The Tempest into Neapolitan and Luigi Meneghello’s translation of Hamlet into vicentino. The essay underlines how these endeavors represent translations into languages that, at the time of writing, are considered by their authors in decline and doomed to extinction, and argues that both authors use translation to emphasize the historical memory of their native idioms. Both De Filippo and Meneghello, in fact, set out to challenge the subordinate status of Neapolitan and vicentino by proving that dialects are apt to express great thought as well as philosophical, abstract, and theoretical concepts.

AbstractBackgroundMany practitioners experience complex, uncertain, and unique clinical practice situations that can be navigated with reflection. Little is known about the theoretical and pragmatic perspectives of reflection in physical therapy.PurposeThe purpose of this paper was to examine the literature on reflection in physical therapy and identify gaps in the literature.Data SourceThe Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and PsycINFO were used to identify articles.Study SelectionStudies were selected to describe: (1) theoretical concepts related to reflection, (2) examples of reflection, and (3) the use of reflection in clinical or educational contexts.Data ExtractionAuthors, year of publication, country of origin, publication type or source, methodology, conceptual approach (including terminology used, definition of terminology used), and practical approach (including theoretical underpinning, context of reflection/reflective practice, and target group) guided the data extraction.Data SynthesisA total of 46 articles were reviewed spanning from 1992 to 2017, which included research studies, field articles, editorials, and a review article. Theoretical underpinnings of reflection were based on the thoughts of Donald Schön. Written approaches to reflection were most common, and reflection was used to inform education, clinical practice, and professional growth.LimitationsAs with any review paper, there is a certain level of interpretation required when collating and interpreting data.ConclusionsReflection in physical therapy could be advanced by a thorough conceptualization of reflective practice, a broader and deeper pool of research to inform optimal implementation of reflection across the career span from learners to experts, and a clear definition and linkage of reflection to epistemologies of physical therapy practice.

We discuss the main theoretical concepts of a dream: dream definitions, ideas about its genesis, functions, dream location in the structure of activity. We analyze the similarities and differences between the approaches. The results of empirical studies of adolescent and adult dreams are generalized, dream functions in adolescence are analyzed. Based on the analysis of different approaches, we chose theoretical basis of our own research – A. Leontiev activity theory, L.S. Vygotsky concept, K. Lewin's model. We formulated and substantiated the definition of dream as emotionally colored image of the desired future, having a subjective significance. We show the significance and hypotheses of our research: 1) the content of dreams is connected not only with a situation of frustration, but also with the teenager abilities, 2) the dream is involved in regulating of values choice; 3) restoration and development of the ability to dream can be used in the practice of counseling and psychotherapy as an effective tool to help adolescents and adults.

A corporate agreement is widely known as a legal structure that allows regulating legal relations and distributing risks between participants in an investment transaction. The establishment of this institution in Russian legislation has opened up great opportunities for both financial and strategic investors. When concluding a corporate agreement with third parties, a “quasi-corporate” agreement is concluded. Study objective: legal research of the current legislation and theoretical concepts regarding the definition of the legal nature, content, and problems of applying a corporate agreement and identification of the most significant proposals for legislation improvement. Methods. The authors of the study applied general scientific and specific scientific methods of research work. In particular, the dialectical method of scientific knowledge, systemic, functional, deduction, induction, analysis, synthesis methods as well as special legal ones like formal legal, comparative-legal, the method of legal modeling, and others were implemented. Results and novelty. The analysis of law enforcement practice showed that, despite a wide selection of both named and unnamed protection measures, none of them guarantee the proper performance of obligations arising from a corporate agreement. This thesis follows from the materials of judicial and arbitration practice.

The article is devoted to the definition of the classification of principles of criminal executive law. The article presents the views and positions of leading domestic scientists on this issue. Scientific concepts on the perception of the factor of systematics of the principles of criminal executive law as one of the key elements of the current branch of criminal executive law are analyzed. The focus is on the key elements of the system of principles of criminal executive law and existing theoretical concepts on this issue. Scientific positions on the quantitative and qualitative component of the system of principles of criminal executive law are given. The article draws attention to the fact that the quantitative criterion of principles is one of the debatable issues among scholars, most of whom tend to the "triad" of principles of criminal executive law, which consists of common law, intersectoral and sectoral principles. The article expresses the author's view on the mandatory consideration of the category of common law principles in the system of principles of criminal executive law as one of the key ones. It is proved that the leading role of these principles is determined by their essential characteristics, which reflect the natural and legal nature of common law principles. This circumstance, in turn, has a decisive influence on the entire legal system of the state. The author's opinion on the synonymous meaning of the categories "principles of law" and "legal principles" is expressed in the article. The scientific position on the existence of both institutions and sub-institutions within the framework of criminal executive law is supported. The author's point of view on the quantitative and qualitative composition of the system of principles of criminal executive law is expressed within the article. It has been proven that the system of these principles should have five key elements. Which include the following principles: common law, intersectoral, sectoral, institutional, subinstitutional.

Economics may be presented in the form of corroborated rules. Economics may be defined as a science consisting of economic principles, laws, features, criteria, limitations, axioms, etc. Each listed entity may be divided into categories. Categories (category ‐ instruction) are theoretical concepts meaning the most important aspects of restoration of reality. Categories are forms giving theoretical meaning to practical experience. Categories give names to economic phenomena. Categories are presented and analysed in textbooks, reference books, and encyclopaedias. Categories are interconnected since the economic phenomena reflected by the categories are mutually connected. There are numerous relations among categories. These relations are like a network or a tree since one category is connected with several other categories, whereas the latter, in their own turn, are connected with the other categories. We may analyze the category “investment” as an example. The term “investments” is defined as the putting of capital into an enterprise. Capital is everything that has been created by the labour of people and it is being used for the manufacture of a final product. An enterprise is the production or commercial economic entity. Further, the following categories should be defined: labour, benefit, a product, production, commerce, and economy. Then the categories included in the above mentioned categories should be defined. A man models economic corroborated rules by means of a computer. The computer can find the main compositions to systematise the tremendous number thereof, quickly find necessary information, group corroborated rules, register and analyse them, and store information. However, the creation of a suitable program is quite a long and hard process. Corroborated rules which are regular and stable (are not variable) in real life may be simulated by a computer. A computer cannot apply the observation, verification, and genetic methods since it is only capable to analyse available information. Information changes very quickly and for this reason the results obtained are not accurate. The following distribution of work is possible: a man models separate (single) and couple compositions. The compositions consisting of three and a larger number of compounds are simulated by a computer. The identification of corroborated rules means that the types of corroborated rules taken out of the known economic text must be identified: laws, principles, features, and so on. It is quite easy to perform this work without using a computer provided that the volume of work is not large. However sometimes some doubts arise: to which type should a certain corroborated rule be attributed. Doubts are caused by the insufficiently accurate and simple definition of types of corroborated rules. While computerising the identification of economic corroborated rules it is important to accurately define the types of economic corroborated rules, then make algorithms and programs for the identification of each type of a corroborated rule. Identification enables to assess an economic text. The text the corroborated rules of which are presented in a certain order is acceptable for a reader. Consistent presentation facilitates the understanding of a text.

The aim of this article is to discuss the place and role of the intercultural encounter (IE) in communication and education, including in foreign language teaching. Firstly, I present the IE as a communicative event and define it using terms developed by ethnographers of speech (communication). Secondly, I discuss the concepts contained in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Companion Volume with New Descriptors (CEFR 2018) relating to the mediation of text, concepts, and communication, and present the original definition of mediation in intercultural contacts. That section emphasises that mediation does not only act as an intermediary facilitating the course of a communication event but also as an “understanding interview with oneself.” Next, I discuss theoretical concepts related to the IE, I describe it as a tool used in teaching and intercultural education, and I present a description of the IE by a student of the Teaching Polish as a Foreign/Second Language course at the University of Lodz. Finally, I analyse an example description of an IE and present preliminary conclusions on how to use IE descriptions in various educational contexts.

The objective of this paper is to check whether what you see is what you get. In other words, to present an application of a ‘Vision Board’ (VB) technique in the academic classroom as an innovative and creativity-boosting practice. The authors start with the definition of Vision Boards born out of academic wedlock, primarily in art. It is the avant-garde art of the past century that shaped our visual thinking. Artistic experiments gave us collage (from Braque to Schwitters and from Hamilton to Beuys). Artists expressed the fragmentary and relative nature of our perception of reality. Cunning passages led from art shows to university classrooms: this is how a modular ready-to-use creative workshop scenario designed for 60 minutes had emerged. Art shows that the public brings the relativity of aesthetic evaluation with “beauty in the eye of the beholder.” Does the student audience echo this claim to observer’s, receiver’s, reader’s, viewer’s, and listener’s relative and subjective response? In search of an answer, we discuss the drives of student engagement, demonstrated by student decisions to contribute to a collective VB activity with personal Artistic expression, input Creation, process Control, Context defining, Emergence monitoring, and Emotions gauging. Moreover, the authors share their practical experiences from student workshops and the creation of 25 Vision Boards and the potential pains and gains of the application of VB in the classroom. The attention is drawn to a) linking playful experiences to serious topics and theoretical concepts and b) leveraging creative discoveries by upgrading output required by course syllabi.

One of the fundamental challenges for sociology is the interpretation of its key terms, which is determined by the fact that many words of everyday language and scientific discourse are the same despite implying a much higher level of generalization as sociological categories. Certainly, such challenges are more typical for the empirical research - when sociologists turn their theoretical concepts into sets of empirical indicators which have to be clear enough for the respondent to understand and answer the questionnaire and for the sociologist to interpret these answers correctly. Nevertheless, the lack of generally recognized conceptual definitions is no less important, because the general picture of social reality is necessarily made of them (the society is described as either fair, consisting of trustworthy institutions that provide opportunities for being happy, or in the opposite statements). The article presents a possible reconstruction of the strategy that sociologists use in the search for conceptual definitions for such complex concepts with varying connotations as love, happiness, trust and justice. This strategy consists of two steps: focus on the macro-sociological dimension of the phenomena under study as determining its various manifestations and everyday interpretations (the key step in the study of love and happiness); and identification of objective and subjective indicators of the phenomenon under study (the key step in the study of trust and justice). For instance, in the study of love and happiness, there is the obvious micro-sociological perspective that implies personal responsibility for being happy and loved, and the hidden macro-sociological perspective that implies social standards for identifying and achieving love and happiness; trust is defined as a source of social order, cooperation, institutional, organizational and everyday interactions, which reduces the level of uncertainty; in the searches for the conceptual definition of justice, there are two main approaches - the first approach considers justice as one of many grounds for developing some theoretical model; the second approach reconstructs justice either as an ideal political-philosophical model of social order or as a means of the comparative analysis of its practical implementations.
