Puropose. The aim of this article is analysis ofthe state of art to discuss the similarities of the two selected types of mass contemporary spatial mobility – migration and tourism. Method. Desk research. The paper presents theoretical analysis. Findings. Three important aspects are presented in the text, as seen by the author, the similarities of migration and tourism: the settlement into similar areas – as tourists and migrants tend to visit these spaces and improve the cultural change there, maintaining social networks within particular ethnic groups – both in the places of origin and arrival, and the spatial concentration of migrants and tourists. Research and conclusion limitations. The text refers to a limited number of studies, and presented examples relate to selected human communities. The common denominator is the mobility space, which by the way, leads to multi-faceted changes both in the culture of the host country and in places where tourists or migrants arrive. Practical implications: Underlying the need to adapt the definition of ‘theoretical’ (operating) to the changing contemporary patterns of mobility and social consequences of intercultural relations. Originality. The presented work is in need of an extension regarding the current topics in literature indicating the interrelationship of migration and tourism. In the paper, the concept of social remittances is presented. This brings our attention to the effects of changes in spatial mobility beyond their direct participants. Type of paper. The text is a review based on desk research as a background.

Purpose This paper aims to conceptualize managers’ psychological challenges with respect to implementing corporate responsibility throughout supply chains. Design/methodology/approach Four areas of psychological theory are introduced to expand the understanding of the challenges involved in implementing corporate responsibility in supply chains, namely, relationship and humanization theory; the number-of-people-suffering theory; superficial-identification theory; and the bystander effect theory. Findings The common denominator between the introduced areas of psychological theory is that all consider the expected degree of corporate responsibility in supply chains to extend beyond managers’ ability to cope so that failure is probable. Research limitations/implications Supply chain management research needs to consider various psychological challenges to effectively address corporate responsibility in supply chains. This research shows that it is important to include theory from psychology to truly understand the challenges faced by managers, although only a few theories are presented here. More comprehensive reviews are needed in the future. Practical implications Managers require guidelines based on psychological theory to assist them in overcoming their inabilities in this context. Originality/value SCM research advocates responsibility for all those affected by this phenomenon, but the lack of theoretical grounding to meet the prevailing psychological challenges hampers the efficacy of putting the current recommendations into business practice. The paper is one of only a few to address managers’ psychological challenges in dealing with corporate responsibility across organizational borders and judicial boundaries in supply chains.

Purpose On 12 November 2018, New Zealand's Land Transfer Act 2017 came into force. The purpose of this paper is to pinpoint some of the significant changes in the Act that challenge the fundamental concepts of the Torrens system of registration. Design/methodology/approach The paper addresses three significant reforms: a definition of land transfer fraud; the concept of immediate indefeasibility with limited judicial discretion and its impact on volunteers and the Gibbs v. Messer anomaly; and the compensation regime. Case studies illustrate the effect of these changes. Findings The limited legislative definition of fraud reflects the common law and allows for any necessary flexibility. The new Act reiterates the principle of immediate indefeasibility but qualifies it with the introduction of some judicial discretion. This is a novel concept for the courts and will undoubtedly be dealt with cautiously. The author voices some disquiet with regard to some of the guidelines set out in s 55(4) of the Act. The compensation provisions introduce an element of an owner's culpability. An owner now runs the risk of reduced compensation if there has been a lack of proper care. Research limitations/implications The implications of this research are fundamental for New Zealand's land transfer system. Practical implications The limited judicial discretion will challenge the courts of New Zealand. The new compensation provisions will ensure that an owner's carelessness will be accountable. Originality/value This study is one of the first to analyse the Land Transfer Act 2017 (New Zealand). Its value extends beyond New Zealand shores as it has implications for global land transfer systems.

Sperm capacitation is an essential process in fertilization. It apparently involves a large number of processes, the common denominator of which is that they donate to sperm the potential to undergo the acrosome reaction, i.e., to release proteolytic enzymes enabling sperm penetration through the egg coat. Although the phenomenon of capacitation has been known for more than 40 years, it is far from understood, and, consequently, there is, as yet, no operational definition of it. The lack of an assay to identify capacitated spermatozoa is both the cause and the effect of this situation. Here we critically review the major changes that are thought to occur during sperm capacitation, and assess their potential use as markers for the identification of capacitated spermatozoa.

Folk Poetry

In view of the long-recognized influence of Thomas Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry upon Johann Gottfried Herder's literary theory, especially upon his “Sturm und Drang” essays and Volkslieder, it comes as a surprise to note that Herder's Lieder der Liebe (1778), containing his German translation of the Biblical Song of Songs as well as his commentary thereon, omits all reference to Percy's earlier English translation and commentary, The Song of Solomon, Newly Translated from the Original Hebrew (1764). To be sure, Percy's work (like Herder's own) appeared anonymously. But in the eighteenth century there were ways of discovering the identity of anonymous writers, as both Percy and Herder knew to their chagrin. Yet in none of Herder's works is there any reference to Percy's Song of Solomon, and in none of his published letters is there any mention of the little book. When one considers Herder's usual scholarly habit of documentation and his willingness to acknowledge sources, one must conclude that he was ignorant of Percy's work. One can speak, naturally, of a permeating influence of the Reliques on this work of Herder's, as one can speak of such an influence on any of his writings. In fact, the thesis of the following pages is that this very influence, fused with a few others having the common denominator of folk-poetry, led Herder to a conception of the Song of Songs quite different from that reached by Percy himself and strikingly similar to Percy's theory in one point only: a negative attitude toward the theory of J. D. Michaelis, which was known to both. The contrast between Herder's and Percy's views of the supposedly Solomonic Song of Songs throws an interesting light upon the critical approach of Herder to a document that could fit perfectly into his definition of poetry as “eine Welt- und Völkergabe” and illustrates the peculiar use he made of the Reliques (along with some other, later works) in the support of his original theory of poetry, which differed so remarkably from that of Percy.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Middle-age is regarded as a significant stage of life. It is typically either perceived as a time of crisis or an ideal opportunity for new beginnings. The common denominator is that major decisions are the norm on both sides of this particular debate. The issue is especially pertinent in the context of careers. Reaching a mid-career point often prompts individuals to evaluate current and past experiences and relationships in order to guide future direction. Practical implication The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent, information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Adjusted Model

The universal process model is the common denominator between a society and an individual and their understanding of the world. In this paper, we adapt the universal process model for the anthropological content, and we demonstrate the use cases, which are based on the anthropological literature. We introduce the concept of a thinking subject, which represents the anthropological specialization of the universal process model, and we adapt it with the definition of measurable spaces and operators of the universal model. Such adjusted model is the basis for sociological research into the effect that the prevailing digital tools have on the decision making of the individual and society. With the new tool we propose the introduction of a new research topic: Anthropology of digitalization. Anthropological questions regarding this topic are posed in companies, which are introducing the digital transformation, but the general open societal questions on this topic are concerning the issue of the division of modern society on the generations of predigital era and the digital generations X, Y and Z.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Abstract. This editorial gives a brief introduction to the six articles included in the fourth “Hotspots in Psychology” of the Zeitschrift für Psychologie. The format is devoted to systematic reviews and meta-analyses in research-active fields that have generated a considerable number of primary studies. The common denominator is the research synthesis nature of the included articles, and not a specific psychological topic or theme that all articles have to address. Moreover, methodological advances in research synthesis methods relevant for any subfield of psychology are being addressed. Comprehensive supplemental material to the articles can be found in PsychArchives ( https://www.psycharchives.org ).

Motives of espionage against ones own country in the light of idiographic studies The money is perceived as the common denominator among people who have spied against their own country. This assumption is common sense and appears to be self-evident truth. But do we have any hard evidences to prove the validity of such a statement? What method could be applied to determine it? This article is a review of the motives behind one's resorting to spying activity which is a complex and multifarious process. I decided to present only the phenomenon of spying for another country. The studies on the motives behind taking up spying activity are idiographic in character. One of the basic methodological problems to be faced by the researchers of this problem is an inaccessibility of a control group.
