The objective of the present article was to verify the conceptual position and onto-epistemological of the Brazilian researchers in Strategy-as-Practice from the concepts proclaimed for the movement. The theoretical base presents the conceptual revision of the field that served of script for the analysis of the data. It treated, therefore of the elements of strategizig: praxis, practices and practitiones. After this deals with the agenda and agency in which the movement needs to insert itself. Following the theoretical base perspective onto-epistemológicas ontológicas are presented and that assist the agreement of the strategical phenomenon for the optics of that Strategy is what the people do. The data are the source documents. The determination of articles to be analyzed occurred for the manipulation of articles following a pre-established script. The results of the research make indication of a set sufficiently diversified of conceptual positions with sights to remedy the faced questionings that can be influenced by the context where the researcher is inserted. Also it was found that when passing of the years it had extrapolação of the subject for other seek areas, not having limitation of the subject only in the area of strategy as at the beginning of the presentation of papers in Brazil.

Background: Entrepreneurs often face distress in their businesses; as one way to address it, they can file for business rescue. The Companies Act 71 of 2008 requires the appointed business rescue practitioner (BRP) to place before the court facts proving ‘reasonable prospect’. This often seems determined mainly by the subjective opinion of practitioners, who rely on their experience and knowledge in rescue and business management. This appears to be in direct contrast to the requirements for factual evidence set out by several court judgements. There are many questions surrounding the determination of reasonable prospect, as there seems to be no benchmark for entrepreneurs and BRPs to work towards or a prescribed process to be followed.Aim: This article investigates different methods of factually determining reasonable prospect and guiding the decision-making process during the pre-filing and initial stages of the rescue of small, medium and micro-enterprises (SMMEs).Setting: The study was conducted using South African case law and financial models relevant to SMMEs in South Africa.Methods: Qualitative analysis of existing financial models and case law to better understand how BRPs determine initial reasonable prospect when working with SMMEs.Results: The research report methods of determining financial distress and decline within the relevant case law.Conclusion: Reasonable prospect relies heavily on experience and opinion. Factually proving reasonable prospect remains problematic because of information asymmetry and the lack of data integrity. Affected parties (including entrepreneurs) could benefit from the insights obtained in this study. Identifying methods that could assist with the factual determination of reasonable prospect could contribute to entrepreneurial education, as well as address the current conflict that surrounds the subject.

The Subject

The subject of this research is the formation of large city planning ensembles in socialist cities during Great Leap Forward of the People’s Republic of China. The object of this research is architecture in the style of Stalin Empire 1950s – 1960s. The author examines the influence of Soviet architecture upon the emergence of Chinese styles, such as “Style 1959” and Communist Art Deco). Special attention is dedicated to stylistic peculiarities of the new architectural objects and Chinese interpretation of the Stalin Empire. In this context, both Chinese and Soviet architects contributed to determination of the architectural trend “Su-style”. The main conclusion lies in the statement that architecture of the Stalin Empire with the elements of classicism became the national style in socialist China. Chinese architects synthesized the new normative aesthetics and discovered new stylistic and imagery resources in architecture. The transition towards holistic Chinese “socialist culture” has not been completed and currently continues.  The author’s special contribution is the research of socialist architecture of Harbin as a continuity of Russian traditions of the early XX century. The novelty of this work is defined by the first ever analysis of stylistic peculiarities of Harbin’s architecture that were built by the projects of Soviet architects.

The Right

The article provides an analysis of the possibility of separatist formations in Ukraine to refer to the principle of self-determination of peoples as a justification for their activities. The minimum necessary criteria of legal bases for self-determination are considered, among which: the existence of effective connection of the subject of self-determination with a certain territory; the existence of the subject itself, i.e., the people (ethnic group), which claims self-determination; and the recognition by the international community of such a potential entity as the bearer of the right to self-determination. Regarding the connection with the territory, the doctrine of international law and practice recognizes the right to cultural and national self-determination in a particular territory for any ethnic group. This right is limited to the common interests of all the people of the state, which consists in the unconditional preservation of the inviolability and integrity of its territory. As for the existence of the subject of self-determination, the people is recognized as the historical community of people formed in a certain area and have stable features of the language, culture, and mental composition (mentality), as well as aware of their unity and difference from others through conscious self-name. At the same time, diasporas and migrants must be subject to the laws of the country of residence under the right of citizenship or the right of permanent residence. As for the recognition of the subject of self-determination by the international community, it may recognize as the people those who are under colonial rule, occupation by a foreign state, or against whom a policy of racism is pursued. Thus, international law does not protect separatist movements aimed at secession if they do not meet these criteria. This means that separatist formations in Ukraine do not have the right to secession but are terrorist organizations in terms of their methods of activity.

Tulisan ini menjawab pertanyaan tentang apa yang disebut kota inklusif dan indikatornya. Secara akademik, nyaris tidak ada studi tentang ‘kota inklusif’. Padahal, dalam praktik, sudah banyak daerah yang berusaha menjadi, atau mengklaim diri, sebagai “kota inklusif”. Studi dalam artikel ini bersifat literer karena bertujuan menemukan gagasan dan landasan teoretis yang dapat digunakan untuk mendefinisikan “kota inklusif.” Karena definisi saja belum cukup, tulisan juga akan mengkaji indikator kota inklusif. Berdasarkan kajian teoretis yang dilakukan, penulis berpendapat ada empat indikator kota inklusif: (i) adanya partisipasi difabel; (ii) adanya upaya pemenuhan hak-hak difabel; (iii) terjaminya aksesibilitas; dan (iv) adanya sikap inklusif warga kotanya.Despite its recent popular use in Indonesia, “inclusive city” as an academic subject has been relatively neglected. The subject is interestingly absent from Indonesian academic journals in relevant studies. While the term has been globally used and discussed, it is used in a significantly different way. The objective of this paper is to propose a concept of “inclusive city” by defining its dimensions and indicators. It is a localized concept to promote a city that promotes, protects, and accommodates the rights of the disabled. To achieve that objective, this literary research seeks to find theoretical base to argue for inclusion of the disabled. Furthermore, it argues for four dimensions of an inclusive city: (i) a full participation of the disabled; (ii) a promotion of the rights of the disabled; (iii) accessibility; and (iv) inclusive attitude of the people. An elaboration of the indicators is provided afterward.

In light of the migration past, the question is raised on the possibility of simultaneous assimilation and introduction into their culture of ornaments and words by the Ancient Sami population. Special attention is given to the examples of explicit concurrence of the elements. The author sets a scientific task to find the evidence of residence of the Ancient Sami people in the territory of northwest of Kostroma Region in Russia from the perspective of cultural succession. The main research method consists in the synthesis of various sciences. Archaeological research alongside the data from historical records and toponymic studies allow comparing the data in the field culture and applied art. Leaning on the analysis of literature and images, the author structures the chain of logical reasoning . The acquired data give understanding of the visual expression of the regional cultural heritage and possible assimilation of the elements of decor by the people who abandoned the territory centuries ago. The result of this research consists in providing the evidence of cultural succession, determination of timeframe and geographical area with regards to assimilation of the elements applied art of other ethnoses by the Ancient Sami population. The novelty of this work lies in comparison of decorative patterns of different generations and ethnoses, and the fact of formation of the general basic culture of Sami people. The conclusion consists in detecting the presence of decorative elements of the Mari ornament in the Sami ornament based on the analysis of various sciences. This proves the succession of cultural heritage of this region throughout multiple generations.

Introduction. Ritual, ceremonial and festive events of the Mordovians represent a sphere of concentration and representation of spiritual-moral and value-oriented views of the people. They contain the origins of theatre and scenography as types of art. However, they cannot be considered as independent types of art in its modern meaning, as they used to exist in forms of theatricalization (pretheater) and pre-scenography. The subject of the article is the specifics of the functioning of pre-scenography in ceremonial, ritual and festive events of the Mordovians, as well as the disclosure of its main types: character type, determination of the place of action and game type. Materials and Methods. The theoretical materials are based on the research in the field of theatre and scenography. The reliability and academic validity of the research are ensured by the sociocultural approach, as well as by research methods, namely system-typological method, analytical method and interpretation method. Results and Discussion. Having studied the functioning of pre-scenography in ritual, three types of ceremonial and festive events of the Mordovians are revealed. The character type included a variety of components: metaphorical image, nature phenomena and objects, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic images, as well as objects of material culture. The next type determined the place of action which included everyday human environment, as well as production and household spaces. The game type implied conversion of performers of rituals and ceremonies into zoomorphic images, into various human (sometimes imaginary) characters through costumes, makeup and masks. Conclusion. Based on the analysis of the ritual, ceremonial and festive events of the Mordovians, a typology of pre-scenography is given, the special features of its functioning are determined.

The subject of this article is ashug art, namely improv singers. The object of this research is one of the genre varieties of ashug poetry – the dialogue songs. Roll songs hold a special place in non-ritualistic lyrical songs. With the historical development of the people, the contest songs stand out of the folklore poetry and take the form of riddles and solutions. These songs become a favorite genre of the Lezgin ashugs. Special attention is given to the transformation of the genre of folk riddles in the songs of ashug improvisators. Analysis is conducted on ideological-thematic diversity, as well as artistic distinctness of ashugs’ compositions. It is concluded that the poetic contest and dialogue songs, common in non-ritualistic lyrical songs of the Lezgins, received further development in the works of ashugs and improv singers. In later period, these songs appear in works of the classics of Lezgin poetry. The author's main contribution to this research consists in the analysis of ideological-thematic content and structure of poetic contest, presence of the genre of riddles therein, and as well determination of discrepancies between ashug riddles and folk riddles.

The subject of this research is the validity of scales used in socionics. The authors view socionics as a typological concept that describes predisposition of an individual to learning within the framework of one of another type of information using the method of modeling. Special attention is paid to the relevance of examination of the concept of socionics, its scientific substantiation from the perspective of differential psychology. The article explores one of the socionic characteristics – “logics / ethics” and its interrelation with the coefficients of empathy EQ and systematization SQ. In the course of this research, the authors applied the methodology of determination of socionics type, EQ and SQ coefficient tests, as well as statistical comparison of two groups. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that the authors are first to acquire results confirming the hypothesis on correlation between socionic characteristics “logics / ethics” and coefficients of empathy EQ and systematization SQ. According to socionics, the people of “ethic” type are more predisposed to high level of empathy and low scores on the scale of systematization; while the people with “logic” type are predisposed to high level of systematization with low values of empathy coefficient.

Rigorous Method

After many years of clinical practice, research and the teaching of projective tests, Shentoub and her colleagues (Debray, Brelet, Chabert & al.) put forward an original and rigorous method of analysis and interpretation of the TAT protocols in terms of psychoanalysis and clinical psychopathology. They developed the TAT process theory in order to understand how the subject builds a narrative. Our article will emphasize the source of the analytical approach developed by V. Shentoub in the 1950s to current research; the necessity of marking the boundary between the manifest and latent content in the cards; the procedure for analyzing the narrative, supported by an analysis sheet for understanding the stories' structure and identifying the defense mechanisms; and how developing hypotheses about how the mental functions are organized, as well as their potential psychopathological characteristics; and the formulation of a diagnosis in psychodynamic terms. In conjunction with the analysis and interpretation of the Rorschach test, this approach allows us to develop an overview of the subject's mental functioning, taking into account both the psychopathological elements that may threaten the subject and the potential for a therapeutic process. We will illustrate this by comparing neurotic, borderline, and psychotic personalities.
