According to one recent review of the burgeoning interdisciplinary scholarly literature on populism, populism’s “relationship with gender issues remains largely understudied” (Abi-Hassan, 2017, 426–427). Of those scholarly treatments that do exist, the lion’s share focus on the role of men and masculinity in populist movements. In this essay, I argue scholarly reflection on the relationship of gender and populism should not be limited to this narrow frame. Through a close examination of the complex gender politics of QAnon, a pro-Trump conspiracy movement that burst into the mainstream of U.S. politics and culture with the onset of the global Coronavirus pandemic, I demonstrate that populist deployments of femininity are as rich, complex, and potent as their deployments of masculinity. QAnon, I argue, is a case study in how femininity, particularly feminine identities centered on motherhood and maternal duty, can be mobilized to engage women in populist political projects. Until scholars of populism start asking Cynthia Enloe’s famous question, “Where are the women?,” in a sustained and rigorous way, phenomena that are integral to populism’s functioning will elude us and our understanding of the relationship between gender and populism will remain partial and incomplete (Enloe, 2014).

Architecture is a language, and this means that we understand each phrase in a language or text in it, which is built in our architecture. Texts have richness and complexity, and the openness of the architectural text ahead of the act of interpretation, lead to social interaction. Where the text reads in terms of reference, structure, and philosophical vision, and its variables, and comparing it with kinetic architecture as a product of the relationship between human behavior and kinetic waves which have considered a real revolution in architectural thought, where has changed the path of the architecture, where it changed the path of the architecture that has seen from the perspective of persistence and physical and formal stability on the ground to the perspective of movement, dynamism and the formal and positional changes of the building. The role of the process (time) has a significant impact on the kinetic architecture through which the movement can be, and it is an essential element of the movement's principles and conditions in its contemporary architectural formations. So the research aims to statement of the relationship of the text of the concepts of the text to the concepts of the system of human actions in being and its content becoming and process, against the system of architectural acts in the components of the text (reference structure, and philosophical vision), and reflect this relationship on kinetic architecture as a contemporary architectural formation to know its relationship with the text and its components

This paper has as its theme compliance in accounting. For the development of the content, a methodology was adopted that aligned with what was proposed to achieve the objectives of this study. In this sense, the construction of the material aims to achieve results that confirm as hypotheses raised by an event or fact, whether this is present in daily life or not. Thus, the general objective of this research seeks to present an application of compliance in accounting. The specific objectives seek to define and conceptualize what is compliance, as well as highlight and present what is accounting and what is its role, and finally, highlight the relationship of the role of compliance in accounting. Finally, the present work leaves the topic open, proposing that in the future a new research is carried out, with an emphasis on contextualizing the themes here. Together with this new research, the objective is to conduct a case study, for which a study is proposed evaluating the application of compliance in the accounting of a company.

Abstract The role of poetic divinities in the proem of Apollonius’ Argonautica (1.1–22) has been discussed extensively in scholarly literature, often in conjunction with subsequent references to them. As several discussions are based on tendentious hypotheses or contain inaccuracies, I revisit the relationship of narrator and divinities in the proem and the rest of the poem. Apollonius’ proem is innovatively ambiguous but does not mark a radical break with tradition. The invocations of the Muses in fragments of Simonides (fr. 11.20–24 W2) and Empedocles (DK 31 B 131) are important precedents. Apollonius’ subsequent references to poetic divinities clarify the ambiguity in the proem and form a consistent picture, which does not portray a reversal of the relationship between poet and divinities sketched in the proem.

The scientific problem of economics “Managing the quality of human life” is formulated on the basis of artificial intelligence, algebra of logic and logical-probabilistic calculus. Managing the quality of human life is represented by managing the processes of his treatment, training and decision making. Events in these processes and the corresponding logical variables relate to the behavior of a person, other persons and infrastructure. The processes of the quality of human life are modeled, analyzed and managed with the participation of the person himself. Scenarios and structural, logical and probabilistic models of managing the quality of human life are given. Special software for quality management is described. The relationship of human quality of life and the digital economy is examined. We consider the role of public opinion in the management of the “bottom” based on the synthesis of many studies on the management of the economics and the state. The bottom management is also feedback from the top management.

This essay examines a polemic between two Baudelaire critics of the 1930s, Jean Cassou and Benjamin Fondane, which centered on the relationship of poetry to progressive politics and metaphysics. I argue that a return to Baudelaire's poetry can yield insight into what seems like an impasse in Cassou and Fondane. Baudelaire provides the possibility of realigning metaphysics and politics so that poetry has the potential to become the space in which we can begin to think the two of them together, as opposed to seeing them in unresolvable tension. Or rather, the tension that Baudelaire animates between the two allows us a new way of thinking about the role of esthetics in moments of political crisis. We can in some ways see Baudelaire as responding, avant la lettre, to two of his early twentieth-century readers who correctly perceived his work as the space that breathes a new urgency into the questions of how modern poetry relates to the world from which it springs and in which it intervenes.

The retail market in Vietnam continues to grow with the entry of foreign retail brands and the strong rise of domestic businesses in expanding distribution networks and conquering consumer confidence. The appearance of more retail brands has created a fiercely competitive market. Based on the outcomes of previous research results on brand choice intention combined with a customer survey, the paper proposes an analytical framework and scales to examine the relationship of five elements including store image, price perception, risk perception, brand attitudes, brand awareness and retail brand choice intention with a case study of the Hanoi-based Circle K convenience store chain. These five elements are the precondition for retail businesses to develop their brands so as to attract customers.
