Each government consists of two dimensions: 1) a sructural dimension that involves policy- and decision-making bodies and, 2) a functional dimension that is a set of government institutions and administrations. Also, national authority in a country is an outcome of three components, including legitimacy, acceptance, and efficiency of its government. The authority of governments is not merely limited to their structural legitimacy and acceptance; but, their functional dimension and the performance of their administrations also play a crucial role in building and strengthening their legitimacy. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate how the administrative system of a government affects its national authority, with an emphasis on the Islamic point of view. To do so, this research has been carried out within the framework of theoretical research with practical purpose. The research method of the current study was descriptive-analytical. In the present study, the relationship between two variables – namely, “administrative system” and “national authority”– has been investigated within the framework of causal research. Due to the theoretical nature of this study, the resources used mostly include documents and library resources. The results of this study indicate that there is a direct and causal relationship between the national authority of governments (effect) and the performance of their administrative system (cause). Also, this relationship reveals how the administrative system affects national authority.

A central cleavage in the war making-state making literature is between advocates of the notion that warfare has been the principal path to developing stronger states and critics who argue that the relationship no longer holds, especially in non-European contexts. It is suggested that the problem is simply one of theoretical specification. Increasingly intensive warfare, as manifested in European combat, made states stronger. Less intensive warfare, particularly common after 1945, is less likely to do so. Empirical analysis of a more representative data set on state capacity (revenues as a proportion of gross domestic product [GDP]), focusing on cases since 1870, strongly supports this point of view. The intensiveness of war is not the only factor at work—regime type and win/loss outcomes matter as well—but the relationship does not appear to be constrained by the level of development.

The active and discursive nature of material culture is the subject of this paper. It will, however, be approached from the point of view of typology and in particular the debate about the 'Swedish Typology’ (Gräslund 1974). Typology is probably the archaeological method or theory through which the discipline has most explicitly stated its view on the nature of the archaeological object. Inspired by the idea of naturalised epistemology as the basis for understanding how knowledge is constructed within the sciences (as discussed by Thomas 1996: 194), it is here argued that what we do, as archaeologists, is of importance rather than the theorising about our actions. Through a discussion of typology as expressed in archaeological practice, this paper will propose that the relationship between the object and typology is much simpler and more complex than our habitual use of the concept tends to suggest. It is proposed that the creation of typologies reveals the quite decisive influence which the object has upon the archaeological constructions. Typologies, moreover, are intimately connected to prehistoric production strategies. It is the relationship between these two dimensions of typologies, that we must understand in order to fully realise their potentials and understand their roles in archaeological practice.

The literature on management practices indicates that the company’s performance depends largely on the skills of its leader, when the intuition of the latter is based on the instruments and rational management methods. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between the gender and management practices in terms of current operations (Production, marketing, finance, …), identify the characteristics of the owner-manager of SMEs (male and female specific), and detect the points of divergence and convergence between women's and men's management. To do so, we conducted a theoretical analysis of the main concepts and indicators that allowed us to develop a research model. The analysis of the answers was based on a survey adressed to a sample of owner-managers. Our findings confirm that the personal characteristics of the owner-manager influence the management practices. The results of the comparison between the Moroccan ruling woman and man, show that there are no real differences in management style, but rather some shared values between them. This paper provides a theorical contribution on the link between the profile of owner-managers and management practices including the gender parameter. In terms of pratical contribution, it contribute to understand behavior of Moroccan SMEs owners and to show the importance of this two dimensions, the profil of owner managers and gender approach, it can be also considered as a recent study of the typical profile of owner-managers in an emerging country such as Morocco. We try, through this work, to contribute to this field of research which remains very fertile.

It can be concluded that the value-creating effect relationships are very different in nature and can be dealt with at different levels. You can deal with them in a number of dimensions, which result from the different intentions of establishing a relationship, but you can make some generalizations and express it in two dimensions, as monetary and non-monetary benefits for the company. Reports from the point of view of monetary benefits include all kinds of financial flows and resource made by the buyers, and the costs associated with their service. The perception of the relationship from the perspective of non-cash benefits allows for the flow of knowledge and information. The basis of effective relationships is the ability of a network or the ability of the company to participate in partner relationships. It is the ability to initiate, maintain and use relationships with various external partners, including the arrangements, procedures and powers relating to the internal dimension. Having a network capacity can be regarded as a prerequisite for the effective operation of the market and create value.

The relationship between ideology and partisanship is understudied in India. Using secondary data, we ask whether ideology predicts party preferences, and whether Indians can be clustered with respect to their ideological positions. To do so, we define ideology as differing along two dimensions: adherence to social norms and obedience to hierarchies. We find that a preference for hierarchies significantly determines which party is preferred compared to NOTA, whereas adherence to social norms significantly predicts voting for a number of left- and right-positioning parties. Second, a cluster analysis shows three clusters, which have been named “social reformists” for individuals who are left leaning on both dimensions, “disguised traditionalists” for those who are left leaning in terms of social norms, but right leaning in terms of adherence to hierarchies, and “traditionalists,” for those who are right leaning in terms of both dimensions. Implications and future directions are discussed.

This is the first part of a two-paper series, in which we critically examine the various proposals that have been made for superluminal coordinate transformations. Here we consider the two-dimensional case. Starting from rather general assumptions, we show that the superluminal coordinate transformations in two dimensions are essentially uniquely determined. Different proposals for such transformations are then analyzed from the point of view of those assumptions. The relationship between the superluminal transformations and the discrete symmetries P (parity), T (time reversal), and PT is also discussed.

The article contains deliberations on the subject of adult learning as a result of breaking points in people’s lives. It is based on Fritz Schütze and Gerhard Riemann’s concept of the trajectory, trying to show the educational potential of critical life events. The paper constitutes an illustration about learning and biography. The analysis concerns an individual who experienced domestic violence, was separated from her family of origin by being placed in a care and educational institution, whose life was additionally complicated by teenage pregnancy and motherhood. The analysis of the narrative makes it possible to see two dimensions of the relationship between learning and biography – learning from the experiences we face during life and biographical learning (or learning from a biography).

Resumo: A educação deve acompanhar as constantes mudanças enfrentadas pela sociedade, buscando motivar os alunos para o aprendizado e convívio social. Nessa perspectiva, o projeto de ensino “Valentine’s Day: Valorize quem te faz bem” foi trabalhado com os alunos de forma contextualizada e interdisciplinar, buscando a motivação e reflexão frente às relações interpessoais, bem como sobre o consumismo desenfreado, destaca-se que o mesmo foi desenvolvido entre os meses de maio e junho de 2018. Objetiva-se relatar as potencialidades/aprendizagem desenvolvidas por meio do projeto de ensino citado, por meio da reflexão de 3 professoras envolvidas. Assim, trata-se de um relato de experiência, tendo a observação participante como instrumento de coleta de dados. Participaram do desenvolvimento do projeto alunos dos primeiros, segundos e terceiros anos do Ensino Médio Integrado (Técnico em Agropecuária, Alimentos e Informática). O projeto permitiu a relação entre a química e a linguagem, por meio da elaboração de textos em português, espanhol e inglês, cartazes e apresentações. Além de permitir um início da superação da alienação motivada pelo consumo desenfreado, proporcionando aos estudantes a reflexão e valorização do sujeito. Por fim, destaca-se a importância do desenvolvimento de projetos interdisciplinares para a garantia do desenvolvimento cognitivo e emocional dos alunos.Palavras-chave: Ensino Contextualizado; interdisciplinaridade; Química, Línguas e Literatura. Abstract: Education must follow constant changes faced by society, seeking to motivate students to learn and to socialize. From this point of view, the project called "Valentine's Day: Value who does you good" was applied with students in a contextualized and interdisciplinary way, looking up motivation and reflection on interpersonal relations, as well as on unbridled consumerism. In order to do so, it aims to report the potentialities and learning developed through the mentioned teaching project. It is a research that associates the report of experience with the qualitative research, with the participant observation as an instrument of data collection. 300 students from the first, second and third years of Integrated High School (Agricultural Technician, Food and Informatics) from Instituto Federal Goiano - Campus Morrinhos were involved. The relationship between chemistry and language, through the preparation of texts in Portuguese, Spanish and English, posters and presentations was allowed by the project. In addition to allowing the beginning of overcoming alienation motivated by unbridled consumption, a reflection space and appreciation of the subject was provided to the students. Finally, the importance of the development of projects such as that cited to guarantee students' cognitive and emotional development is highlighted.Keywords: Contextualized Teaching; interdisciplinarity; Chemistry, Languages and Literature.
