In this study, an attempt is made to investigate the load transfer in pile groups constructed in saturated and unsaturated soil using aluminum model piles of 20 × 20 mm in cross section and 200 mm in length with six group configurations, single, 2 × 1 , 3 × 1 , 2 × 2 , 3 × 2 , and 3 × 3 , groups in addition to pull-out test. The samples are prepared at three different soil properties: two models with the same degree of saturation and two with different dry unit weights and the third is unsaturated soil model with. A relationship between the soil suction and water content is introduced using a digital monitor, accompanied by eight suction probes planted in CBR molds. This relationship is used to predict the value of suction when conducting tests on models of the unsaturated soil. Further, the soil suction is measured using a filter paper method. Results of ultimate load capacity obtained from the load–displacement curves reveal an increase in the ultimate load with increasing the number of piles in the group for the same soil properties, and also an increase in the soil dry unit weight. Further, the results indicate an increase in pile capacity when the soil becomes in unsaturated state compared with saturated soil for the same pile group tested. On the other hand, the pull-out test gives a maximum load carrying capacity when the single pile tested was in saturated soil with high dry density, and minimum results are obtained when tested in unsaturated condition with the percentage of increase being about 463 and 34% for two saturated soils, compared with that for unsaturated soil.

This article reflects upon some paradoxes concerning the reality of Italian contemporary school, after more than ten years from the decree enforcing the scholastic autonomy. Starting from the contribution by a teacher selected for his ability to give evidence of the sense of deep unease experienced by the teachers working in the school system, my text highlights the gaps emerging from the law regulations directed to the emphasis of the organizational transformation of the school and the real school, which is asking to review its global educational mandate and revamp the symbolic value of its local culture.

MANAGEMENT ,RETAIL industry ,INTERNATIONAL business enterprises ,COMPENSATION management - Abstract
This article presents abstracts of studies on international management. The paper "Regional Strategies for Service Sector Multinationals," examined the intra-regional sales of all 49 multinational enterprises (MNE) in the retail sector. Data is not available for most other service sector MNEs, especially in insurance and banking. Only one of these 49 retail MNEs is global, defined as operating with at least 20 percent of its sales in each part of the triad. The paper "Market Equilibrium, Cartel or Lack of Strategy? Entry Level Compensation in Japanese Firms," examined the determinants of base pay for entry level college graduates in Japanese firms. In a sense, Japanese firms' compensation strategy for college hiring is to behave as a cartel and to minimize wage competition. The paper "A Comparative Analysis of Indian and Chinese Negotiating Behavior," highlighted the similarities and differences between Indian and the Chinese negotiating behavior. While a lot has been written about the Chinese approach to negotiations the literature on Indian negotiating behavior is relatively sparse. This paper attempts to fill this gap in the literature by providing a comparative contrast of the negotiating styles in these countries. The starting premise of the paper is that institutional environments affect the ease with which value is created, sustained or amplified over time.

ORGANIZATION ,MANAGEMENT ,DECISION making ,ORGANIZATIONAL change - Abstract
This article presents several conference paper abstracts about organization and management theory. The conference paper entitled "Multiple Logics in the Decision-Making Process," by Sergio Janczak, is a qualitative empirical study that reveals the multiple logics which managers, in undertaking projects, used to influence other employees. This paper seeks to contribute to the literature decision-making process by exploring further the often ignored area of middle management's processes. In addition, as an exploratory approach this paper aims to reveal the factors that influence such processes. The design of this qualitative study includes the identification of a sample of 59 projects undertook by 39 middle managers in 35 complex multidivisional organizations in Canada. The conference paper entitled "The Ecology of Strategic Positioning: Mutualism, Competition, and Inertia," by Stanislav D. Dobrev, Tai-Young Kim, and Glenn R. Carroll develops an ecological theory of the strategic positioning of all firms in an organizational population across its evolution. Drawing on established ecological theories and notions of strategic positioning from the management literature, we contend that processes of mutualism, competition, and inertia shape the propensity of firms to move in the market space.

Accountability is of universal interest to the business ethics community, but the emphasis to date has been primarily at the level of the industry, organization, or key individuals. This paper unites concepts from relational and felt accountability and team dynamics to provide an initial explanatory framework that emphasizes the importance of social interactions to team accountability. We develop a measure of team accountability using participants in the USA and Europe and then use it to study a cohort of 65 teams of Irish business students over three months as they complete a complex simulation. Our hypotheses test the origins of team accountability and its effects on subsequent team performance and attitudinal states. Results indicate that initial team accountability is strongly related to team trust, commitment, efficacy, and identifying with the team emotionally. In established teams, accountability increases effort and willingness to continue to collaborate but did not significantly improve task performance in this investigation.

This article presents abstracts of several studies related to gender and diversity in organizations. Myrtle P. Bell, K. Matthew Gilley and Joseph E. Coombs considered the effects of women and minority CEOs and directors on organizational diversity performance. Patricia J. Ohlott and colleagues reviewed the literature on social identity, conflict and negotiation, leadership, and cultural differences, to identify potential leadership strategies for preventing, resolving, and managing identity-based conflicts. Joseph Ofori-Dankwa and Scott D. Julian proposed the notion of diversity and similarity curves to capture the simultaneous interaction of demographic diversity and value congruence variables on conflict and creativity in an organizational context. Derek R. Avery and Kecia M. Thomas integrated research from several literatures leading to a model relating content and contact to the acquisition of Diversity Management Competency. Donna Maria Blancero and Robert Gregory DelCampo reported on trends in the psychological contracts of Hispanic Business Professionals. Elizabeth Mary Wilson investigated organizations described as positive for women, drawing on seven case studies in Great Britain, from both the private and public sectors.

ORGANIZATIONAL behavior ,SOCIAL influence ,MANAGEMENT science ,CREATIVE ability in business ,ORGANIZATIONAL commitment - Abstract
This section presents abstracts of several studies related to organizational behavior. Michael Humphreys and Andrew D. Brown argued that a narrative approach can assist researchers in their efforts to analyze organizational identities and sensemaking processes, as political maneuvers designed to legitimate certain interests while marginalizing others. Jenny M. Hoobler investigated whether abusive supervision may be a behavior not necessarily aimed at a specific subordinate, but instead the result of a displeasure by a supervisor with his or her organization. Hwee-Hoon Tan, Maw-Der Foo and Min-Hui Kwek proposed that customer traits play a part in the service encounter. Violet Ho adopted a dyadic-level perspective to examine the impact of social influence on employees' perceptions of psychological contract fulfillment. Kelly L. Zellars and colleagues used survey responses from restaurant employees and their supervisors to investigate linkages between the justice perceptions of employees and organizational citizenship behavior. Greg R. Oldham and Markus Baer proposed that employees exhibit creativity at work when conditions are present that facilitate both the generation of creative ideas and the sharing of these ideas with others.

Jafari, Sayyed Heidar and Zahirović, Samir
- Abstract
The directed power graph G (G) of a group G is the simple digraph with vertex set G such that x → y if y is a power of x. The power graph G (G) of the group G is the underlying simple graph. In this paper, we prove that Prüfer group is the only nilpotent group whose power graph does not determine the directed power graph up to isomorphism. Also, we present a group G with quasicyclic torsion subgroup that is determined by its power graph up to isomorphism, i.e. such that G (H) ≅ G (G) implies H ≅ G for any group H .

- Abstract
Every individual has an opinion about what is good leadership and what is not good leadership. During childhood and youth, we value the leadership of parents, during education we value the leadership of professors, in the context of the organisation where we work, we value the leadership of the organisation's leaders, at the social level, we value the leadership of policy makers. Leadership is studied at a global level and represents one of the concepts that has been written about in every time and in every place. Leadership affects the quality of everyone's life. This is proven by the results of organisations and communities that change with the change of leaders. Leadership is key to both the development and failure of community organisations. There are many definitions of leadership; however, the common definition is that leadership is perceived as a process in which the leader influences the group to realise their common goal. Leadership is an interactive phenomenon, with leaders directing energy towards individuals in order to accomplish a task or achieve a specific result. It is important to distinguish between leadership as a trait and leadership as a process. According to the first approach, only the individual who possesses talent from birth can be a leader, while according to the second approach, leadership is a learned phenomenon. There are different styles of group leadership, but we focus on democratic and autocratic group leadership. Using the descriptive-comparative method and doctrinal research, the paper highlights the differences between the democratic and autocratic style of leadership on the one hand and the democratic and autocratic leader on the other. The paper ends with conclusions and recommendations for a more efficient leadership in groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

35. Positive effects of speech and language therapy group interventions in primary progressive aphasia: A systematic review.

- Abstract
Background Aims Methods Main Contribution Conclusions What this paper adds What is already known on this subject What this paper adds to existing knowledge What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative condition characterised by a prominent and progressive deterioration in language abilities, which significantly impacts quality of life and interpersonal relationships. Speech and language therapy plays a crucial role in offering interventions. Group intervention is one mode of delivery that could benefit communication functioning and overall wellbeing of people with PPA (pwPPA) and their care partners. Group interventions are also more efficient than one‐to‐one intervention and may facilitate peer support.The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate the current evidence for the effectiveness of speech and language therapy groups for pwPPA and their care partners. Specifically, this paper considered three questions: 1.What evidence‐based speech and language therapy groups for pwPPA and their care partners have been reported to date? 2.Are group communication interventions effective in improving quality of life and communication function for pwPPA and their care partners? 3.Are group communication interventions that are designed for people with communication difficulties of other aetiologies (such as stroke) effective for pwPPA? In addition, this review aimed to describe the structure and content of groups, including aims, disciplines involved, size and frequency of group meetings, and outcome measures.MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycINFO were used to retrieve articles of interest. A total of 10 studies published between 2009 and 2022 met the eligibility criteria and therefore were included in this study. Data were extracted from the articles regarding the structure and content of groups.Although evidence is currently limited, results suggest that speech and language therapy group intervention can improve specific linguistic processes, the use of communication strategies and psychosocial well‐being. The importance of multidisciplinary input and care partners’ involvement in groups was highlighted, along with the benefits of creative non‐verbal activities as tools for self‐expression. There is also initial evidence that telehealth group provision and one‐off group sessions may be feasible and can benefit psychosocial well‐being. Lastly, intentional recruitment and explicit education on different aphasia types are described as important when pwPPA participate in groups with mixed diagnoses.The literature on speech and language therapy group interventions for PPA shows promise of positive effects on communication function and psychosocial well‐being of both pwPPA and their care partners. Speech and language therapists can consider these published interventions when designing and implementing similar groups, but more robust evidence is required to confirm the relative effectiveness of this approach. Speech pathology led group intervention shows some promise in benefitting communication functioning and overall well‐being of pwPPA and their carers, but there has been no systematic evaluation of all the evidence regarding the efficacy of speech and language therapy led groups. Establishing feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of speech and language therapy group interventions for pwPPA and their carers may present a valuable addition for managing this progressive language disability. Although evidence is currently limited, results from this systematic review suggest that speech and language therapy led group intervention can improve specific linguistic processes, the use of communication strategies and psychosocial well‐being for pwPPA and their carers. The importance of multidisciplinary input and carers’ involvement in groups was highlighted, along with the benefits of creative non‐verbal activities as tools for self‐expression. There is also initial evidence that telehealth group provision for carers may be feasible and can benefit psychosocial wellbeing. Lastly, intentional recruitment and explicit education on different aphasia types are described as important when pwPPA participate in groups with mixed diagnoses. A synthesis of the evidence base for speech and language therapy led PPA groups, as well as a description of the group components and formats, will be valuable for clinical service planning, and will guide future examination of group options for pwPPA and their carers. Speech and language therapists can also consider the research findings from this systematic review when designing and implementing similar groups in their local context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

37. The Popularization Characteristics of Ming and Qing Novelists' Ci-poetry.

WANG Fan
- Abstract
By analyzing the Ci-poetry of several representative novelists in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this paper finds that the popularization characteristics of this group of works have two special manifestations: secular subject and slang. The first one is influenced by principles of novel creation, the cultural background of the era, story content and so on. The second one is influenced by the intention of taking Ci-poetry as a play, the casual creative attitude, the habitual use of novel language, the widespread use of the Ming and Qing Ci Pu. The above contents reflect the diversity and particularity of the Ci-poetry writing in Ming and Qing dynasties, the cultural connotation of the secular communication between literati and the mutual influence between the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is conducive to grasping the overall appearance of the Ci-poetry circle in Ming and Qing dynasties.

- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce linear Diophantine anti-fuzzification of algebraic structures. In this regard, we define linear Diophantine anti-fuzzy (LDAF) substructures of a semigroup and discuss some of its properties. Moreover, we characterize semigroups in terms of LDAF-ideals and LDAF-bi-ideals. Finally, we apply the linear Diophantine anti-fuzzification to groups and find a relationship between LDAF-subgroups of a group and its LDF-subgroups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The issue of collective memory, which is an integral component of modern memory studies, is considered in the paper. Memory, as the author notes, is a way for people to construct their past, which belongs to history. The concept of "collective memory", proposed by the French historian and sociologist Maurice Halbwachs at the beginning of the last century, opened the prospect of overcoming the absolutization of psychologism in historical research, and also defines the scientific sense of the meaning of collective historical trauma. The ideas of the French scientist regarding the presence of memory in the oral tradition and methods of analyzing forms of oral communication are studied. The sense of using the concept of "frame", which is a combination of spatio-temporal and social representations mediated by place, form, name, reasoning, and language, is revealed. In this context, the main idea of the scientist is the assertion that memories of the past are determined by social frameworks. The variability and transformation of social frameworks in connection with the entry of a person into many groups is emphasized in the paper. Group memory is the memory of people who live now and can discuss memories of their past. Examining Christianity as an example showed how gradually the collective memory of a group of believers, which coincided with the collective memory of society as a whole, was completely transformed under the influence of new and the latest social challenges. The role of tradition in the historical process is considered in the context of collective memory. Therefore, the paper suggests that society is able to act productively if its institutions rely on collective ideas and collective memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we report perspectives of youth and health care providers on perinatal youths’ mental health needs and document how they informed IMAGINE design. Methods We conducted 21 semistructured in-depth individual interviews with 10 pregnant or postpartum youths aged 14-24 years and 6 health care workers. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using deductive and inductive approaches to characterize perceptions of challenges and facilitators of youth perinatal mental health. Using a human-centered design approach, stakeholder perspectives were incorporated into the IMAGINE design. We classified MB adaptations to develop IMAGINE according to the Framework for Modification and Adaptation, reporting the nature, timing, reason, and goal of the adaptations. Results Youth and health care workers described stigma associated with young pregnancy and parenting, social isolation, and lack of material resources as significant challenges to youth mental wellness. They identified nonjudgmental support, peer companionship, and access to step-by-step guidance as facilitators of youth mental wellness. They endorsed the use of a social media group to prevent perinatal depression and recommended that IMAGINE facilitate peer support, deliver content asynchronously to accommodate varied schedules, use a confidential platform, and facilitate the discussion of topics beyond the MB curriculum, such as navigating support resources or asking medical questions. IMAGINE was adapted from MB to accommodate stakeholder recommendations and facilitate the transition to web-based delivery. Content was tailored to be multimodal (text, images, and video), and the language was shortened and simplified. All content was designed for asynchronous engagement, and redundancy was added to accommodate intermittent access. The structure was loosened to allow the intervention facilitator to respond in real time to topics of interest for youth. A social media platform was selected that allows multiple conversation channels and conceals group member identity. All adaptations sought to preserve the fidelity of the MB core components. Conclusions Our findings highlight the effect of stigmatization of young pregnancy and social determinants of health on youth perinatal mental health. Stakeholders supported the use of a social media group to create a supportive community and improve access to evidence-based depression prevention. This study demonstrates how a validated intervention can be tailored to this unique group.

Permutation groups have played important roles in method of enumerating combinatorial objects in recent times. However, the study of the applicability AUNU permutation groups using group action is challenging. In this paper, a new method of constructing group action using the subsequences of (123)- avoiding of AUNU Permutation patterns is provided. The method used the generating function of AUNU groups in the construction to obtain some geometric structures of orbits resembling to lattice. The research further established some algebraic properties of group action as well as orbit and stabilizer in permutation groups which are relevant to the study of finite group structures. The paper also providedsome motivations for the study of group action in an abstract domain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

42. The Influence of Using Collapsed Sub-processes and Groups on the Understandability of Business Process Models.

- Abstract
Many factors influence the creation of business process models which are understandable for a target audience. Understandability of process models becomes more critical when size and complexity of the models increase. Using vertical modularization to decompose such models hierarchically into modules is considered to improve their understandability. To investigate this assumption, two experiments were conducted. The experiments involved 2 large-scale real-life business process models that were modeled using BPMN v2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) in the form of collaboration diagrams. Each process was modeled in 3 modularity forms: fully-flattened, flattened where activities are clustered using BPMN groups, and modularized using separately viewed BPMN sub-processes. The objective was to investigate if and how different forms of modularity representation (used for vertical modularization) in BPMN collaboration diagrams influence the understandability of process models. In addition to the forms of modularity representation, the presentation medium (paper vs. computer) and model reader's level of business process modeling competency were investigated as factors that potentially influence model comprehension. 60 business practitioners from a large organization and 140 graduate students participated in our experiments. The results indicate that, when these three modularity representations are considered, it is best to present the model in a 'flattened' form (with or without the use of groups) and in the 'paper' format in order to optimally understand a BPMN model. The results also show that the model reader's business process modeling competency is an important factor of process model comprehension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

IntroductionThe purpose of this pilot study was to establish the feasibility of completing a future controlled trial of a multi-component cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia program for military veterans with sleep disturbance.MethodThis was a single-arm feasibility and pilot study. Participants were United States post-9/11 veterans with service-connected injuries, university students, and had self-reported sleep disturbances. Restoring Effective Sleep Tranquility was a multi-component cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia intervention consisting of seven sessions of group therapy and eight 1:1 sessions delivered by occupational therapists. Feasibility and pilot indicators were process, resources, management, and scientific, including pre–post-assessments of sleep difficulties, dysfunctional sleep beliefs, participation, and pain interference.FindingsIndicators were supportive of feasibility, including reduced sleep difficulties (for example Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Measure [ t = 3.29, p = .02]), reduced nightmares: t = 2.79, p = .03; fewer dysfunctional sleep beliefs: t = 3.63, p = .01, and greater ability to participate in social roles: t = –2.86, p = .03, along with trends towards improved satisfaction with participation and reduced pain interference.ConclusionThe Restoring Effective Sleep Tranquility program may reduce sleep difficulties and improve participation in US veterans with service-connected injuries, and evidence indicates a controlled trial would be feasible to deliver.

44. Intersubjective processes in psychodrama groups with adolescents: A theoretical, Jungian perspective: clinical applications.

Sordano, Angela
- Abstract
According to the intersubjective, Jungian perspective, the group is an archetypically connoted, transitional space. Special attention is given to the shared symbolic scenario and the group matrix is interpreted figuratively. The group is the main protagonist. Single individuals do not disappear, but focus is set on how partial Selves interact while sharing a common drama. Group dynamics and personal histories connect dialogically, while a constant, multidimensional exchange takes place between individuals and the group. In this paper, the author explores: a) the function of embodiment, as resulting from an interacting process between the portrayed character and the symbolic issue that is being dealt with in the group; b) the leader's special role in the group process; c) non-participant observation as a tool for clinical outcome evaluation. The author will discuss themes both theoretically and with clinical examples, while highlighting the main tools used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A market basket is a set of items included in a retail assortment that a customer buys on a shopping trip. The purpose of market basket analysis is to persuade a customer to spend more money through upselling or cross-selling. Most recommendation systems only suggest a single next-item or the top n items that a customer is most likely to buy. A company might succeed in convincing a customer to spend more money to increase sales revenue if a recommendation system can suggest the next or top n groups of items that customers are likely to buy according to the items in their basket. Based on the similarity upper approximation clustering, Borda majority count and PrefixSpan algorithm, this paper proposes a novel next-group recommendation approach according to sequential market basket information. Compared with the previous methods, the proposed approach can provide next-group instead of next-item recommendation, which may create more opportunities for customers to increase their spending.

In this paper, we study near approximations in Cayley graphs, which are an extended study of rough approximations in Cayley graphs by using more than one equivalence relations. Furthermore, we introduce the notion of a near edge Cayley graphs, expanded to the near vertex pseudo-Cayley graphs and near pseudo-Cayley graphs. Some theorems dealing with the properties discussed are derived. We illustrate some examples especially in cyclic groups for simplification in graphs visualization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Identity is among of the most common explanations for political outcomes. Despite this, studies of politics often fail to clearly conceptualize or define identity, leading to tremendous variation in the use and application of the concept, much of which is at odds with fundamental tenets of research on the topic. Decades of research in psychology, sociology, and political psychology inform a family of related theories referred to as "Social Identity Theory" (SIT) which demonstrates that identity requires three conditions in order to affect attitudes and behavior: cognitive classification, psychological attachment to the group, and a social context that causes a group identity to become salient. In this paper, we build on these conditions to develop a typology to help identify when and for whom identity should be politically consequential. Using national election data from 2012, 2016 and 2020 we show that failing to differentiate between these concepts, particularly what we call Descriptive and Substantive identity, can lead to mistaken inferences about the behavior of identity groups in politics. Applying insights from SIT also promises to help advance an improved understanding of questions of race, representation, and intersectionality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
