This work is a case study analysis of the contemporary feminist academic pornography discourse. Based on two academic articles, two competing discourses are identified and examined using constructivist grounded theory and discourse analysis. This clash of discourses is traced back firstly to changing social norms on sexuality: Older generations, who still inhabit most positions of power within academia, are largely still representing restrictive attitudes on what constitutes “acceptable” sexualities. Secondly, research conventions within the humanities and social sciences have changed to defy easy explanations. Pornography researchers are therefore forced to choose between conforming to prevalent sexuality norms or research conventions.

This study analyses the philosophical reasons behind the implementation of sustainable finance in ABC Bank in Indonesia based on parameters developed by previous research. The parameters consist of the theory of the firm, human nature of economic actors, ownership paradigm, and ethical framework. The case study approach is supported by primary and secondary data through interviews with managers and analysis of the company’s related reports and documents. The results confirm the parameters of sustainable finance implementation in ABC Bank, indicating the advanced movement made by the bank relative to the other counterparts to accommodate the issue of sustainability on the financial system.

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) has created an unanticipated rise of smart and connected products in the consumer market. While, smart and connected products have become a fundamental part of our day to day life, consumer’s perspective regarding these smart and connected products still remains an uncharted territory. This paper tries to explore how these “smart” and “connected” products are perceived in the consumer market and what are the key driving factors behind the unparalleled success of these products. In order to answer these questions, the authors first determined the “smartness” and “connectivity” criteria to judge all the products based on the most commonly used rating systems for such products. Followed by a case study analysis to determine if there is a correlation between “smartness”, “connectivity” and other product parameters. It is discovered that “smartness” as defined in the paper, is a resource intensive component of a product and therefore, directly affects the price of a product. On the other hand, consumers are more receptive to “connectivity” aspect of a product. The correlations found in the paper could help fill the gaps between areas of focus for technology development in the industry and user demands.

This chapter addresses the question of whether it is better or worse to have many troops from multiple national armies within a United Nations peacekeeping mission. On the one hand, high levels of diversity create obvious organizational challenges and coordination problems. On the other, high levels of diversity produce a mix of complementary perspectives, skills, and solutions. Through case study analysis, the chapter traces the connections between field diversity and mission outcomes as they appear in three missions: UN missions in Lebanon (UNIFIL II), in Mali (MINUSMA), and in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). Using statistical analysis, the chapter shows that high levels of field diversity have a substantial effect on the protection of civilian lives and reduces the number of battle-related deaths.

The article deals with the problem of the current situation in which post-1989 literature studies have found themselves, being focused on case study analysis that is oriented on numerous methodological phrases in the last 30 years, which resulted in critical articles and smaller reductionist-like works, not “big works” of monographic and biographical nature. The author of the text postulates a return to monographs and biographies as long and hierarchical narratives, resulting from many years of research which should be based on analyses of sources, documents, official publications reflecting a multifaceted and deepened character of the work and its author. He also advocates a real “integration” of archival, journalistic, literary, historical and political content created outside Poland, especially after 1945, with literature written simultaneously in Poland. It is particularly important that the resulting monographic works concerning the work and life of a national author, even if episodically connected with emigration, should take into account the other, western side of reception. The actual integration of the two circulations of Polish cultural thought, remains a task waiting to be undertaken.
