The Creation

Today it is getting harder and harder for companies from all over the world to stay in the market, as doing business is associated with great risks. It is especially difficult for young enterprises that have just opened or are at this stage. When a certain group of people make a decision to open an enterprise and run a business, then one of the main questions that, as a rule, should first of all arise for them - what the company will do and according to what strategy it will carry out its main activities. There are a great many development strategies, but the most common of them are two, diversification and specialization. One strategy involves production and trade concentration on one type of goods, while the other strategy is its absolute opposite, as it involves the creation of several product lines that are in no way connected with each other, and the sale of these goods is done to different sales markets. In this article, a comparative analysis of using diversification and specialization strategies was carried out; the analysis was fulfilled on the basis of considering the positive and negative aspects of these strategies. The result of the research was the conclusion that diversification strategy is the more effective than the specialization strategy, since the number of positive and negative aspects of using the diversification strategy is the same, in the case of the specialization strategy, it was found that the number of its disadvantages exceeds the number of advantages from its use. Based on this information, the conclusion of the study was made.

The Way

Ibn al-‘Arabi was a mystic who drew on the writings of Sufis, Islamic theologians and philosophers in order to elaborate a complex theosophical system akin to that of Plotinus. He was born in Murcia (in southeast Spain) in AH 560/ad 1164, and died in Damascus in AH 638/ad 1240. Of several hundred works attributed to him the most famous are al-Futuhat al-makkiyya (The Meccan Illuminations) and Fusus al-hikam (The Bezels of Wisdom). The Futuhat is an encyclopedic discussion of Islamic lore viewed from the perspective of the stages of the mystic path. It exists in two editions, both completed in Damascus – one in AH 629/ad 1231 and the other in AH 636/ad 1238 – but the work was conceived in Mecca many years earlier, in the course of a vision which Ibn al-‘Arabi experienced near the Kaaba, the cube-shaped House of God which Muslims visit on pilgrimage. Because of its length, this work has been relatively neglected. The Fusus, which is much shorter, comprises twenty-seven chapters named after prophets who epitomize different spiritual types. Ibn al-‘Arabi claimed that he received it directly from Muhammad, who appeared to him in Damascus in AH 627/ad 1229. It has been the subject of over forty commentaries. Although Ibn al-‘Arabi was primarily a mystic who believed that he possessed superior divinely-bestowed knowledge, his work is of interest to the philosopher because of the way in which he used philosophical terminology in an attempt to explain his inner experience. He held that whereas the divine Essence is absolutely unknowable, the cosmos as a whole is the locus of manifestation of all God’s attributes. Moreover, since these attributes require the creation for their expression, the One is continually driven to transform itself into Many. The goal of spiritual realization is therefore to penetrate beyond the exterior multiplicity of phenomena to a consciousness of what subsequent writers have termed the ‘unity of existence’. This entails the abolition of the ego or ‘passing away from self’ (fana’) in which one becomes aware of absolute unity, followed by ‘perpetuation’ (baqa’) in which one sees the world as at once One and Many, and one is able to see God in the creature and the creature in God.

Urban forms are shaped under transport-land use connection. According to literature reviews, urban forms can be divided into six kinds from 1880 to 1990, traditional walking city, industrial transit city, automobile-oriented development city (compact or sprawl), transit-related development city and transit-oriented development city (TOD). Although many cities in the world had attempted to shape their urban forms like TOD in the 1990s, they didnt have definite goals and strategies to achieve it. On the other hand, there is neither systematic discussion nor comparative analysis concerning how to determine the original urban form of these cities. In this case, it is unlikely for them to become a TOD city in effective and suitable ways. As a sequence, this paper aims at reviewing literature , designing two sets of strategies to shape TOD urban form for policy-makers reference.

Palavras-chave: mudanças; formação; base cultural; administrador. Abstract The effective changes that the world societies have gone through claim for radical changes in education. The nature of the School x Labor relationship has to be transformed so that the new workforce can be adequately educated.

The article is an attempt at a comparative analysis of the novels: Return from the Stars by Stanisław Lem and Van Troff’s Cylinder by Janusz A. Zajdel. Both works belonging to Polish science fiction present visions of humanity in the future. Despite obvious differences (both novels were written in different circumstances, one novel is a dystopia, the other an anti-utopia) it is possible to find areas common to both works representing the Polish science fiction genre. The novels present a pessimistic vision of humanity in the future. The greatest similarity, however, can be observed in the creation of the main characters, who experience culture shock when faced with a new vision of human society. The protagonists find themselves confused, discordant and despairing. They see that the changes have gone in the wrong direction. But it is too late for them to do anything about it, except for accepting this reality or trying to escape from it back into the stars.

Western View

The Western view of the world is fundamentally a binary one, in which institutions (political, scientific and religious) have tried to pass off as natural those distinctions which are cultural in origin, particularly those concerning men and women. The male/female organic distinction has been used as supposed evidence for the creation of gender constructs. However, biology today shows that an infinite diversity of sexual orientations and identities exists within both animal and human worlds. What is the effect of “otherness” within oneself when “I am the other”? The post-modern novel Chéri-Chéri by Philippe Djian questions the legitimacy of human binary and the distinction between sexes and genders.

Political decisions and political crisis in one country or region in the world can affect local economics and international trade significantly. Such situation of trade creation at one side and trade decrease on the other side has been observed as the consequence of political circumstances between Russia and Ukraine in 2014. National economics and trade of several countries and regions of the world have been suffering from this political crisis. At the same time with trade sanctions and trade decrease among traditional trading partners (EU-Russia, USA-Russia), the effort to ensure a sufficient market supply in Russia and strengthen links among Russia and customs union countries has been observed. A side effect, higher economic and political risk in doing business with Ukraine, caused the trade decrease with Ukraine, too. The chapter analyses selected trade indicators related to international trade of Ukraine and Russia for period 2010-2014 and identifies possible opportunities and threats following from political crisis and affecting international trade of selected trading partners.

Today it is getting harder for companies all over the world to stay in the market, as doing business is associated with great risks. It is especially true for the young enterprises that have just set up or are at this stage. When a certain group of persons made a decision to begin and run a business, then one of the main questions that, as a rule, should arise first of all for them - what the company will do and according to what strategy it will carry out its main activities. It is easy to guess that the question of the future strategy of the enterprise is much more complicated for both new companies and existing ones, even though today there are many different development strategies for practically any enterprise, regardless of the size of its charter capital, scope of activity and other important factors. There are a great many development strategies, but most general are two - diversification and specialization. One strategy involves the concentration of production and the sale of one type of goods, while the other strategy is its absolute opposite, which involves the creation of several lines of goods that are in no way connected with each other, and the sale of these goods to different sales markets. The purpose of this article is to determine, basing on real data, which of the two strategies is most effective. Research objectives: determination of criteria for the selection of the necessary enterprises; compiling a list of enterprises and indicators of financial stability; analysis of the results obtained and the answer to the research question. After completing all the tasks and objectives of the study, it was concluded that those enterprises that use a diversification strategy are in a more stable financial position than enterprises that use a specialization strategy.

Women’S Writing

How might the idea of recognition offer a fresh slant on contemporary women’s writing? In this essay, we bring theories of recognition into dialogue with two literary works: Chris Kraus’s widely reviewed memoir I Love Dick and The Other Woman by the well-regarded Swedish novelist Therese Bohman. Our analysis focuses on recognition within the texts as well as its relevance to relations between texts and readers. We seek to clarify how attitudes to heterosexual love, feminism and same-sex identification are entangled and the broader implications of such entanglements. We are interested in how the protagonists engage the world as readers and the role of literature in shaping their identifications and attachments. Yet, a comparative analysis can also bring to light how a feminist habitus is predicated on class and education, suggesting that these two texts may invite rather different experiences of recognition.

Musical Scales

Music throughout the world varies greatly, yet some musical features like scale structure display striking cross-cultural similarities. Are there musical laws or biological constraints that underlie this diversity? The “vocal mistuning” hypothesis proposes that cross-cultural regularities in musical scales arise from imprecision in vocal tuning, while the integer-ratio hypothesis proposes that they arise from perceptual principles based on psychoacoustic consonance. In order to test these hypotheses, we conducted automatic comparative analysis of 100 children’s and adult songs from throughout the world. We found that children’s songs tend to have narrower melodic range, fewer scale degrees, and less precise intonation than adult songs, consistent with motor limitations due to their earlier developmental stage. On the other hand, adult and children’s songs share some common tuning intervals at small-integer ratios, particularly the perfect 5th (~3:2 ratio). These results suggest that some widespread aspects of musical scales may be caused by motor constraints, but also suggest that perceptual preferences for simple integer ratios might contribute to cross-cultural regularities in scale structure. We propose a “sensorimotor hypothesis” to unify these competing theories.
