The essay explores questions related to the intrinsic elusiveness of intertextual dimensions of Latin imperial poety. Starting with the existing Polish translations of imperial epic poets (Lucan, Silius, Statius) it considers the relationship of thir opening verses to the iconic Arma virumque cano… of Virgil’s Aeneid thus unveiling the massive semantic and poetic losses suffered by the target text, as its newfound independence results in the loss of an essential and purposeful connection with the ‘master poem’.

Many representations of clinical translation present it as a linear process by which bench discoveries are advanced into clinical practice. The present chapter offers a conceptual framework that highlights distinctive ethical aspects of clinical translation. The framework understands clinical translation as a process not so much as developing new treatments but rather generating evidence on how to use (and how not to use) new as well as old interventions. It also emphasizes attending to the relationship of different studies with each other and the importance of coordinating different studies with each other. The model presented here foregrounds the role of coordination in realizing societal objectives of clinical translation at minimal burden and cost for patients and study volunteers.

The global trend towards the use of fair value accounting is increasing, so the current study aimed to maximize the impact of fair value application on achieving relevance and representation faithfulness of accounting information in accordance with the common conceptual framework. To achieve the objective of this study, the researcher has determined in the theoretical framework the relationship of fair value with the characteristics of relevance and representation faithfulness of accounting information and the extent of achieving these characteristics, as well as conducting a field study by preparing a questionnaire distributed to a sample of academics (50) and auditors (50) with a total number of selected participants (100) of academics and auditors.

This study draws on the conceptual framework of the relationship between human capital and innovation strategies and the relationship of social capital on innovation strategies and the relationship between financial capital and innovation strategies. This research is a literature study and the development of a conceptual framework on SMEs as an analysis. The results of the study succeeded in formulating three prepositions, namely a) a positive relationship between human capital and the company's innovation strategy; b) positive relationships between social capital and SME company innovation strategies; c) positive relationships between financial capital and the company's innovation strategy. The higher human capital, social capital, and financial capital, the better the formulation and implementation of innovation strategies in SME companies.

The pumping attributes of the heart remain active topics of investigation and mastery of how the heart functions as a pump is part of the fund of knowledge of physiologists and cardiologists. The advent of high-resolution, real-time imaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging cardiac catheterization, two- and three-dimensional echocardiography) has continued to advance our understanding of how the four-chambered heart (left heart, right heart) works as it fills and as it empties. The insights that have evolved emanate from a conceptual framework based on motion (kinematics) of selected phases and portions of the four-chambered heart and the contents of the pericardial sac. Concepts include pressure pumping, volume pumping, constant-volume pumping, the relationship between atrial and ventricular function and atrial and ventricular indexes, the role of the heart as a suction pump, laws that govern isovolumic relaxation, and the relationship of intraventricular fluid mechanics to diastolic function and wall motion. Accordingly, by asking such questions as ‘What is the ejection fraction of the pericardial sack, and why does it have the numerical value it has?’ or ‘Why does the left atrium fill in two phases—one in systole and one in diastole?’ or ‘How is atrial conduit volume related to diastolic wall motion?’ one can gain new insights into pumping function. This chapter presents a simple, useful, yet powerful conceptual framework that can be used descriptively or mathematically to addresses these and other clinically important themes.

AbstractThis article contributes to an understanding of how conditionality applies across social security and immigration policies in restricting the access to social benefits of national citizens, EU and non-EU citizens. Specifically, the article builds on Clasen and Clegg's (2007) framework of conditionality in the context of welfare state reform by extending that conceptual framework to include migration. The framework is applied to examine how different levels of conditionality have been implemented in UK policy reforms to restrict access to rights of residence and to social benefits. It is argued that a conditionality approach moves beyond a binary of citizens and migrants in social policy analysis, contributing to an understanding of the dynamics and interactions of work-related conditions in restricting access to social benefits, with implications for inequalities that cut across national, EU and non-EU citizens in terms of the relationship of particular groups to the market.

ABSTRACTThis paper is about turn exchanges, the structure of speaking turns and the relationship of nonverbal behavior to both exchanges and turns. Its purpose is to present a conceptual framework for analyzing and interpreting turn exchange and speaking turns, and data are cited when possible. First discussed are specific forms of exchange such as “smooth” and “simultaneous.” The Praguean concept of functional differentiation is invoked to argue that forms of turn exchange have indexical value. The relationship of nonverbal behavior to turn exchange is then discussed. An analysis of videotaped, dyadic interactions between strangers, “getting acquainted” conversation, is reported in order to demonstrate that the nonoverlapping exchange has structurally, hence indexically. distinct forms. These forms, defined by both verbal and nonverbal elements, are ordered in a hierarchy of pragmatic markedness. It is concluded that differentiating pragmatic markedness in conversational patterns is a powerful device for determining indexical features of conversation and thus of relevance for a semiotic understanding of everyday speech.

The author reviews the empirical literature concerning the relationship of women's multiple roles to mental health. A conceptual framework is proposed postulating that negative mental health outcomes may result from high levels of stress and demands across roles and a low level of agency or control over those demands. Suggestions for future research within this model as well as implications for clinical practice are presented.
