The article is dedicated the workspace of cognitive activities of the individual as a space of mental constructs of the cognitive mechanism of thinking. The relationship between of the mental constructs of cognitive space and the degree of development of cognitive abilities of the individual is studied. Thinking is considered as an unconscious process of constructing a modified model representation. The cognitive mechanism of thinking is represented as a multi-stage process of unconscious construction of the response signal in the form of a model representation of the sensory signal with consideration of information encoded in the cognitive memory space. The workspace of the thought process is considered from the perspective of modern cognitive science on modeling the activity of the neural system in the framework of the concept of neurodynamic organization and functional modes of the cognitive memory space. This approach allows us to understand the relationship between the workspace, mental constructs, the cognitive space of memory and cognitive abilities. The architecture, properties, internal mechanisms, and characteristics of the workspace are discussed. Since the workspace is formed by mental constructs, the analysis of the organization and functioning of internal mechanisms of mental constructs is performed. A dynamic instability of the workspace was found, which is caused by the dynamics of mental constructs. The study of the dynamics of mental spaces is revealed the stages of forming a response by mental constructs to a sensory signal. They can be defined as creating a mental space, creating response signal as the modified model representation, the fading of mental spaces with the display of the generated response in the cognitive memory space. Understanding thinking as a multi-stage process of "unconscious reinterpretation" of the received information can contribute to the improvement of educational technologies for the development of cognitive mechanisms of the cognitive process of the individual.

This study seeks to assess the impact of collaborative technologies on innovation at the firm level. Collaborative technologies’ influence on innovation is considered here as a multi-stage process that starts at adoption and extends to use. Thus, the effect of collaborative technologies on innovation is examined not only directly, the simple presence of collaborative technologies, but also based on actual collaborative technologies’ use. Given the fact that firms can use this technology for different purposes, collaborative technologies’ use is measured according to three orientations: e-information, e-communication and e-workflow. To achieve these objectives, a research model is developed for assessing, on the one hand, the impact of the adoption and use of collaborative technologies on innovation and, on the other hand, the relationship between adoption and use of collaborative technologies. The research model is tested using a dataset of 310 Spanish SMEs. The results showed that collaborative technologies’ adoption is positively related to innovation. Also, as hypothesized, distinct collaborative technologies were found to be associated to different uses. In addition, the study found that while e-information had a positive and significant impact on innovation, e-communication and e-workflow did not.

The article considers the conceptualization of the world from the point of view of its methodological paradigm assessment in the context of the globalizing world. A retrospective analysis of the relationship between language and human speech activity is given. The authors explain the role of language as a socio-cultural phenomenon in the formation of worldview systems that develop in the consciousness with the help of minimal units of human experience in their ideal meaningful representation in special concepts, which allows the individual to think within the boundaries of a certain linguistic picture of the world. Analyzes the problems of the functioning of communicative norms with regard to the hierarchy of the spiritual representations of the world. The article attempts to consider the impact of the “blurring” of the information boundaries of the globalizing world on the cognitive abilities of the individual in the nomination, qualification of the subject, phenomenon, process.

Why and how do Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) contribute to the strategic competitiveness of organizations? This paper reviews the literature and proposes a model in which KMS is viewed from three different perspectives: (1) crucial resource; (2) driver of absorptive capacity; and (3) innovation adopted by the organization. The paper critiques the method used by KMS researchers whereby co-variation of KMS and competitiveness is utilized to study the relationship between these variables. The model proposed here is a multi-stage process. The successful use of KMS generates intermediate outcomes that in turn impact the organization and produces improved strategic competitiveness. The different approaches to KMS and the stage-process allow for the unique attributes of knowledge systems, different from information systems. The advantages and limitations of the model are discussed.

The Relationship

The internationalization of SMEs is generally characterized by a progressive multi-stage process, in which organizations gradually acquire knowledge and skills that strengthen their commitment to the outside world. International experience – a form of autonomous accumulation of know-how that allows the understanding of potential markets – influences the decision-making process for selecting export markets. Although gradual acquisition of international experience allows an increase in export activity in more physically distant markets, this gradualist postulate does not have an indefinite validity. This paper analyzes the limits of this international experience in terms of psychic distance, examining whether those SMEs that have obtained enough international experience to develop markets of greater complexity tend to select more complex, i.e., more psychically distant, countries. The findings generally support the idea that the relationship between international experience and psychically distant markets ceases when SMEs have obtained enough international experience, after which it is the objectives of a strictly business nature which condition the decision to select potential markets. For these reasons, when the organization has obtained enough skills and international experience to develop markets of greater complexity, the managers choose to select more complex i.e., more psychically distant, countries.

SynopsisThere is a high incidence of cancer in beef cows in certain sharply localised geographic calf-rearing areas in Britain and also in cattle in several other parts of the world. The tumours occur on farms which are highly infested with bracken fern and which have a history of bracken poisoning. Bracken is known to cause intestinal and bladder cancer in rats and recently the flavonol, quercetin, has been shown to be a mitogen and to be carcinogenic in rats. Bracken contains large amounts of quercetin. In addition the animals have a high incidence of papillomas of the alimentary tract and these transform to malignant tumours. A new and unique papilloma virus has been isolated from these tumours. Studies using genetic engineering and DNA hybridisation techniques have shown that both alimentary and urinary bladder tumours contain viral DNA sequences. The relationship between bracken, quercetin and viral DNA sequences is under investigation both in cattle and at the molecular biology level as two possible stages in a multi-stage process in the aetiology of a high incidence naturally occurring cancer.

Scientific Achievements

We consider the educational text as a cognitive fund of scientific achievements, which is explicated in the communicative field of “educational discourse”, which predetermines its diffe-rential features that distinguish it from other texts by formal and substantive criteria. We prove that the educational text indicates not only what is really present in it, but also what is subject to semantic inference. Based on the educational text, students make inferences, which is facilitated by the cognitive mechanism “perspectivization”. We establish that this is one of the main cognitive mechanisms that can serve to form the projection of educational discourse in the individual mind. From the standpoint of the relationship of cognitive (educational), communicative, linguistic criteria, we prove that it is the mechanism of “perspectivization” that presupposes the advancement of such a text sign as a title, represented by words or phrases correlated with words in the direct meaning. The title of the educational text reflects the information of the conceptual structure of the entire educational text and dictated by the need for the process of understanding the educational text and comprehending the various metatext created on the basis of educational texts. We make the assumption that the units of the educational text act as a means of representing other conceptual areas, since the educational text reflects the semantic function of the language.

This study deals with the relationship between memory and space in Peyami Safa's novels. Literary texts are a field of memories by means of imagination or directly from life itself. The author, who can only imagine what he has experienced, takes advantage of memory while writing his text. Therefore, literature constitutes an important resource for studies related to memory. The concept of space that indicates a place where memory is held is an important research object of this study. Because memories, knowledge, experience and life experiences that make an impression in memory always take place in a space. For this, space, besides being a concept that supports memory, actually has a memory itself. Memory spaces emerge as a result of this approach. Memory spaces have a great influence on the formation of social identity. This study also tries to reveal how the memory-space relationship constructs the concept of "identity". Identities which are laid foundation with the world of thought of the society from which the individual comes gain continuity through the memory space. Fatih Harbiye, Peyami Safa’s novel, is a literary work that reflects the east-west, new-old and modern-tradition dualities and reveals the concept of identity in the light of these dualities. This study examines how the relationship between memory and space constructs an identity in Fatih Harbiye's novel. In this study, which draws attention to the direct relationship of memory and space in the shaping of psychological life, the novel Dokuzuncu Hariciye Koğuşu – Ninth Surgical Ward- is an important example for the relationship between personal memory and space.

Abstract The 2007+ crisis led to an increase in occasional and task work, which unleashed the potential of new technological and organizational solutions. The advancements in digital technological platforms stimulated the growth of the segment referred to as gig economy. The article aims to apply a systematic approach to the driving forces behind the emergence of gig economy and its success to date and to assess its development prospects. It argues to confirm the thesis that gig economy has its own inherent logic, while it remains part of the multi-stage process of the evolution of employee-employer relations, from the industrial stage to the digital era to platform-mediated work. Based on the analysis of the current world literature, the article posits that gig economy, as the next stage of development, has significantly reduced the quality of work, but it may also not meet the individual needs of the contemporary consumer. This increases the likelihood of the need for its change. The article also envisages the direction of this change towards post-platform economy based on distributed market spaces and provides the characteristics of its determinants, including social capital and a sense of individual entrepreneurship. The primary methods used in the study involved analysis and critique of the current world literature as well as the method of analysis and logical construction.

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.
