Food product quality and safety control based on HACCP principles

The quality and safety of the resulting food product depend on many factors, including action coordination at all stages of the production process. A high level of control makes it possible to ensure it. In this sense, the HACCP system is the most suitable quality control system. The paper considers the possibility of the HACCP principles’ application to the technological process of bakery product production from wheat flour in the conditions of the Kemerovo Bread Factory. Then the authors present the possible risk analysis, identify critical points of the technological process, establish critical limits for each of the points, and define a monitoring system.

How apes get into and out of joint actions

Compared to other animals, humans appear to have a special motivation to share experiences and mental states with others (Clark, 2006; Grice, 1975), which enables them to enter a condition of ‘we’ or shared intentionality (Tomasello & Carpenter, 2005). Shared intentionality has been suggested to be an evolutionary response to unique problems faced in complex joint action coordination (Levinson, 2006; Tomasello, Carpenter, Call, Behne, & Moll, 2005) and to be unique to humans (Tomasello, 2014). The theoretical and empirical bases for this claim, however, present several issues and inconsistencies. Here, we suggest that shared intentionality can be approached as an interactional achievement, and that by studying how our closest relatives, the great apes, coordinate joint action with conspecifics, we might demonstrate some correlate abilities of shared intentionality, such as the appreciation of joint commitment. We provide seven examples from bonobo joint activities to illustrate our framework.

Is neural entrainment to rhythms the basis of social bonding through music?

Music uses the evolutionarily unique temporal sensitivity of the auditory system and its tight coupling to the motor system to create a common neurophysiological clock between individuals that facilitates action coordination. We propose that this shared common clock arises from entrainment to musical rhythms, the process by which partners' brains and bodies become temporally aligned to the same rhythmic pulse.

What is a coalition? A systematic review of coalitions in community psychology

Coalitions have a long history as part of the field of community psychology. Whilecommunity psychologists often work with coalitions, these entities engage in a widerange of activities and structures that are not well defined within the field. In this paper,we explore the following questions: (1) What are the characteristics of coalitions thatcommunity psychologists study? (2) What are the themes in the way authors definecoalitions in their work? To address these questions, we conducted a systematic reviewof articles about coalitions in journals serving community psychologists. Findingssuggest coalitions can be characterized by a focus on local level community issuesaround health and wellness and include a diverse group of stakeholders. Coalitions aredefined by a focus on three types of coordination: knowledge coordination, negotiatedcoordination, and action coordination. These types of coordination are used toaddress specific problems coalitions encounter and define the goals and techniquesappropriate for resolving them.
