And Control

This paper presents the area of management control and trust in an inter-organizational setting with an attempt to offer a fresh perspective on the complex relationship between and different understandings of the two concepts of trust and control. This is done with help of two case studies in a cross-cultural setting and involving five multinational companies that were involved in two large acquisitions. Obviously, different actor groups’ cultural and educational heritage has brought with it that dissimilar opinions exist on the subject of mainly system-based versus inter-personal based trust.The paper first demonstrates that trust and control can mean different but also the same things to different people, depending very much on the logic and values applied but also depending on if the actors were motivated more intrinsically or extrinsically. Further, what impact certain control mechanisms, or the lack thereof, have on individual’s behavior is outlined. The paper also reveals that it is difficult to find the right balance between diverse types of control and trust as time went on after the acquisitions. The main reason for this is that actors with different socio-cultural heritage use different references regarding trust and control and put unlike emphasis on what should be focused on, what should be counted, and what should be accounted for. Trust and control can mean almost identical things but the cases illustrate that, from a rhetorical and convincing point of view, system trust appears to be stronger in certain settings than inter-personal trust, as it, to particular actors, provides the impression of being in control. The contrary is true in other settings, where having ‘facts and figures’ and ‘a whole bunch ‘of accounting systems and accounting techniques not automatically mean to be in control, thus leaving more room for the use and appreciation of inter-personal trust.

Nowadays in vitro fertilisation raises relevant controversies at the point of view of jurisprudence as well. The distinct approximations of in vitro embryos, such as to be considered as personae or objects, are also resources of several theoretical and pragmatical questions. It is essential to give a compendious summary about what kind of jurisprudental environment had been contributed to the intrumental comprehension of human embryos too, otherwise it is difficult to understand the scientific quandaries connected to the subject correctly. Merely thereafter the international and the Hungarian regulation of in vitro embryo’s status seems to able to be dissected, in particular the case-law of the Hungarian Constitutional Court related to the right to life and the constitutional funds of the oncurrent re-regulation in our country.

The subject which I have to discuss to-day is one which can be treated from a standpoint of the scientist or from that of the practical engineer. I am going to try to discuss it from the latter point of view.The testing of the behaviour of aeroplanes in flight, to which I want to draw attention, does not deal with research on stability and control, it only deals with checking the flying characteristics with regard to the requirements which should be fulfilled.In the Dutch requirements for a certificate of airworthiness for civil aircraft there are several detail rules, which all tend to state that the aeroplane should be stable and well controllable within the whole region of flight, and for all conditions which may occur in normal and special use.

This is an article on Bolshevik nationalities policy and ethnic engineering, asking who, in fact, decided which populations belonged together as ethnic groups (narodnost') and thus had the right of national self-determination, and how the level of autonomy was determined for each ethnic unit. Scholars have dealt with Russian and Soviet nationalities issues for decades already, but they have turned their attention mainly to the larger nationalities (at the level of SSR, and to a lesser degree the levels of ASSR and autonomousoblast). I argue that the lower levels of national territorial autonomy in the Soviet Union (nationalokrug, raion, volost', andselsovet) are worthy of greater academic attention, at least from the ethnological point of view. Having this kind of low-level territorial autonomy has often been a question of to be or not to be for the small ethnic groups concerned, and hence the subject is connected with the question of preservation of cultural and linguistic diversity in Russia.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to debates about the relationship between trust and control in the governance of inter-organisational relationships. In particular, the authors focus on the question of how the relationship between trust and control shifts over time. Design/methodology/approach An in-depth case study was conducted in a company operating in the aerospace industry. The authors aim to understand this company’s practices and, at the same time, to use the case study to deepen the knowledge of the complex trust/control nexus. The authors follow the changes in the relationship between trust and control as the company restructured its supply chain, and discuss issues which it had to address in the later phases of the supply chain restructuring. Findings The paper illustrates the duality of the trust/control nexus. The authors show how the studied company coped with the complex relationships with its suppliers as collaboration increased. The authors identify particular control mechanisms that the company developed to manage such complexity, such as a supplier strategy and a relationship profile tool. Research limitations/implications The paper studies supply chain restructuring and the changing relationship of trust and control over time only from the perspective of the assembler/manufacturer which “owns”/manages the supply chain. Originality/value The authors observe a move from inter-personal trust to inter-organisational trust. Furthermore, the authors illustrate how managers can intervene to maintain and stabilise trust and ensure that trust and control do not degrade or escalate beyond desirable levels.

This article aims at analyzing the right to diplomatic and consular protection in the context of the standard resulting from international law. It tries to give a definition of this institution, pointing to its public and subsidiary nature. It also points out that diplomatic and consular assistance is carried out in a situation of conflict between the interests of the individual and the country of origin, and that of the host country. The article also discusses the subject and subject matter of consular and diplomatic care.                 Moreover, the study comments on the specific features of this right from the point of view of the complexity and effectiveness of the protection of rights at the international level. In this context it was pointed out that the right to diplomatic and consular protection is not a classic right, but can be considered as an instrument for the operation of other rights or freedoms. The right to consular and diplomatic care is devoid of homogeneous regulation, but also depends on the legal standard of care offered by the home state and must be within the limits set by the host country. The scope of its application may be related to any legal event that may occur when the entity is in a situation of contact with the legal system of the receiving state.                 The discussions under consideration highlighted the subsidiarity of the right to diplomatic and consular assistance for the exercise by the individual of his or her rights and freedoms. However, There is no complete protection standard in this respect, which is conducive to the lack of exhaustive regulation at the convention level, which, in extreme cases, can jeopardize the exercise by the individual of his or her subjective rights, that is to ensure its adequate protection standard in the territory of the host country.

Šiuo straipsniu siekiama permąstyti tradicinę tapatumo sąvoką. Į tapatumą Vakarų mąstymo istorijoje buvo žiūrima visų pirma ontologiniu požiūriu. Moderniųjų laikų posūkis į subjektą susitelkia į Aš kaip bet kokio tapatumo centrą, pagrindą ir gamintoją. Fenomenologinė analizė tapatumo ištakas pagilina iki Aš santykio su išore, su pasauliu, su kitybe. Tačiau kitybė, tapdama sąmonės turiniu, nėra absoliuti kitybė. Būdas, kuriuo tapatumas, įsisavindamas savinasi pasaulį ir naikina kitybę, yra reprezentacija, siekianti akivaizdumo. Reprezentacija kaip intencionalus įžvalgumas bet kokį objektą lokalizuoja sąmonės šviesoje. Šviesa ir regėjimas – tai paradigminės Vakarų mąstymo tradicijos metaforos. Straipsnyje siekiama parodyti, kodėl ir kaip šviesa bei akivaizdumas netoleruoja absoliučios kitybės. Iš akivaizdumo kerų tapatumas atsitokėti gali tik per atsakingą santykį su Kitu, tai yra etiką. Čia tapatus subjektas praranda pirmumo teisę kito asmens imperatyvo atžvilgiu. Begalybės idėja, draskydama totalų tapatumą iš vidaus, neleidžia jam nurimti ir skatina atsižvelgti į transcendenciją, į kitybę, idant ji būtų laisva nuo prievartinio tapimo egocentrinio tapatumo turiniu ir manipuliacijos auka. Atsakomybė kito žmogaus veido akivaizdoje eina pirma akivaizdaus suvokimo ir įteisina jį.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: tapatumas, akivaizdumas, kitybė, socialumas.Charms of Evident IdentityNerijus Čepulis SummaryIn this article I seek to rethink the traditional notion of identity. In the tradition of Western thought identity was viewed first and foremost from an ontological point of view. After the turn toward the subject, the I is thought of as the centre, the base and the producer of any identity. Phenomenological analysis deepens the origin of identity to the relation of the I to the world, i.e. to the alterity. Yet the alterity, by becoming the content of consciousness, is not an absolute alterity. The way, in which identity assimilates, possesses the world and annihilates alterity, is representation. Representation seeks evidence. Representation as intentional perceptivity localizes every object in the light of consciousness. Light and vision are paradigmatic metaphors of the traditional Western thought. Hence in this article I seek to show why and how light and evidence do not tolerate absolute alterity. Identity can be sobered from the charms of evidence only by responsible relation to the Other, i.e. by ethics. Here identical subject loses the right of priority in front of the imperative of the other person. Idea of infinity worries total identity from within. Infinity does not permit identity to quiet down and induces to heed transcendence and alterity. Only in this way alterity can escape the violence to become a content of egocentrical identity and the victim of manipulation. Responsibility in the face of the other person precedes evident perception and legitimates the latter.Keywords: identity, evidence, alterity, sociality.

Teaching is a noble profession which requires special skills for the transformation of knowledge from teaching domain to the learning domain. This profession requires deep knowledge, dedication in teaching, encouragement, and control over the activities of the learning domain, providing the knowledge to the learning domain, teaching the discipline ,behavior and smart skills as out of box teaching subjects. The teacher has to continuously upgrade himself in discharging the knowledge because whatever he has learned in his learning domain might be outdated. The Knowledge is always updating and it is the responsibility of all the teachers to update their knowledge so that they can effectively transform the same to the learning domain. The knowledge transformation in technical subject needs a rather different methodology than the traditional classroom based teaching. The subject like Software Engineering needs a different method of teaching than the traditional classroom based teaching. In this subject the learning domain should be active in looking into the various aspects of the software development. In this subject, the traditional classroom based teaching does not transform the knowledge to the learning domain because the learning domain cannot follow the subject since the domain does not have any idea about the subject. This paper explains the need for active teaching in software engineering where in the learning domain has to be active than the teaching domain. The teaching domain has to concentrate on various concepts which are supposed to be given to the learning domain and guide the learning domain how to get the knowledge, effective use of the available technology and its adoption at the right place. The objective of this paper is how to convert the learning domain into smart learning domain. This paper strongly recommends the case study based teaching and learning practice than the traditional unidirectional classroom teaching.

The article deals with the specific features of the interpretation of the sallekhanā ritual in the context of the philosophical, ethical and religious doctrine of Jainism based on the analysis of disciplinary texts for monks and laity. The author stresses the ethical ambiguity of this practice from the point of view of modern legal norms and emphasizes that the idea of a worthy “good death” through gradually increasing fasting in Jainism is based on the key idea of non-violence (ahiṃsā) for this tradition, including the prohibition of self-harm. For an adequate understanding of sallekhanā in the context of Jain ethics is necessary to take into consideration who (which person – the factor of the subject), how (in which way – the factor of method), when (at what time – the factor of time), why (on which reason – the factor of purpose) and where (in what place – the factor of place) makes it. It is only with proper preparations and in keeping all the requirements it could be reckoned as the ethically right way to finish a properly (i.e. according to all the precepts of Jain doctrine) lived life both for monks and laypeople. In this case, sallekhanā could be considered as a Jain solution to the moral dilemma of the entire Western European philosophy about whether an individual has the right to leave life independently.

THE GROUP of acute and extremely common communicable virus infections has been greatly enlarged in recent years since the recognition of the Coxsackie and ECHO viruses. The clinical manifestations of infections with this large group of agents are gradually being sorted out, and include aseptic meningitis, pleurodynia, herpangina, diarrhea, various minor illnesses and a variety of exanthems. The observation that several of them produce diseases with rash has greatly complicated the diagnostic problems of the pediatrician. This group of illnesses is of great interest and importance, but will not be discussed here. Rather, the scope of this presentation will be limited to three infections, namely, measles (rubeola), rubella, and those due to the viruses of varicella and herpes zoster. The purpose is to review briefly the present status of our knowledge concerning them and to point out some of the problems yet to be solved. No attempt will be made at exhaustive coverage. MEASLES Experimental Considerations As the result of the work of Enders and his associates, it is now possible to study the virus of measles in the laboratory, and control of this disease by active immunization would appear to be a real possibility within the near future. From the historic point of view measles has been the subject of a great deal of attention from the clinician, epidemiologist and virologist. The early workers, such as Anderson and Goldberger in 1911, Blake and Trask in 1921, and others at about the same time, were able to produce measles in monkeys by inoculating them with blood and other materials from patients.
