مصطلحات موضوعية: *VERSTEHEN, *QUALITY of life, *HUMAN beings

مستخلص: Objective: To examine and evaluate ways in which an understanding of the quintessential element of Human Factors/ Ergonomics can address the spectrum of existential threats that confront contemporary civilization. Background: HF/E is dedicated to improving quality of life. Paradoxically, many processes which sustain contemporary civilization act to reduce that overall quality. Some technological developments themselves now even present existential threats to the fragile skein of civilization itself. Many disciplines address these diverse threats, and each may be advised and facilitated by HF/E knowledge and methods. It is a moral imperative of our science to contribute what we can to proposed resolutions. Method: A primary conduit, by the established strengths of HF/E can contribute to potential solutions is identified. The present work advocates for specific, practical interventions using a direct-perception mediated, panopticon principle, that derives from the corpus of our science. Result: Limitations upon a general, social understanding of imminent global concerns, which are largely ignorable when not actually present, are brought to immediate consciousness via an HF/E principle emphasizing the direct-perception of threat. It is argued that this, and allied HF/E insights can generate practical steps toward problem resolution at both macroscopic and localized levels of implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات موضوعية: *VALUES (Ethics), *VERSTEHEN

مستخلص: Values, abstract motivational goals—guides for the right and wrong, the desirable and undesirable—relate to many important attitudes and behaviors. Although meaningful understanding of values exists already at age 5, most developmental value research has focused on adolescence. Not enough is known about what happens to children's values during middle childhood, the period between these two life stages. We propose five criteria for value maturation, reflecting key cognitive and social advances in this period: (a) that children's value coherence increasingly reflects the motivational associations among values and that, with age, values become increasingly (b) abstract (c) consistent, (d) stable, and (e) related to behavior. Values undergo profound developmental changes during middle childhood indicating that, the importance of adolescence notwithstanding, middle childhood is crucial for value maturation.

مصطلحات موضوعية: *VERSTEHEN, *SOCIOLOGY, *SCIENTISM, *SUFFERING

مستخلص: Dilthey has no place in sociology because his Verstehen method was accused of psychologism. He fell into the trap of scientism, a positivist ideal of science to which even the German sociological tradition wanted to belong. The paper attempts to extend the sociological canon to the interpretive categories of 'life' and 'thought' theorized by Dilthey, and to demonstrate the valid application of his method, particularly in understanding human suffering and social needs.

مصطلحات موضوعية: *VERSTEHEN, *ORGANIC chemistry

Abstract (German): Um Reaktionsverläufe in der Organischen Chemie zu verstehen, ist ein Verständnis energetischer Zusammenhänge unerlässlich. Energieprofile stellen dabei wichtige Repräsentationsformen zur Darstellung energetischer Veränderungen dar, durch welche verschiedene thermodynamische und kinetische Aspekte einer chemischen Reaktion visualisiert werden können. Energieprofile sind in ihrer Interpretation jedoch komplex, sodass in der fachdidaktischen Forschung bereits unterschiedliche lernbezogene Schwierigkeiten und alternative Vorstellungen dokumentiert wurden. Kaum betrachtet wurde bisher, wie Lernende Überlegungen zu Reaktionsverläufen ausgehend von strukturellen Darstellungen in Energieprofile überführen. Daher stellt der vorliegende Beitrag eine qualitative Studie mit Studierenden der Organischen Chemie (N = 20) vor, in welcher neben der Analyse der generierten Energieprofil‐Darstellungen die Schwierigkeiten bei der Verknüpfung beider Repräsentationsformen, von strukturellen und energetischen Repräsentationen, untersucht werden.

مصطلحات موضوعية: *THEORY of mind, *VERSTEHEN, *EMPATHY, *PEOPLE with visual disabilities, *NARRATION, *TIME perception

مستخلص: Feeling with our conspecifics and understanding their sentiments and intentions is a crucial part of our lives. What is the basis for these forms of social understanding? If individuals ground their understanding of others' thoughts and feelings in their own perceptual and factual experiences, it could present a challenge to empathize and mentalize with those whose reality of life is significantly different. This preregistered study compared two groups of participants who differed in a central perceptual feature, their visual abilities (visually impaired vs. unimpaired; total N = 56), concerning their social understanding of others who were themselves either visually impaired or unimpaired. Employing an adjusted version of the EmpaToM task, participants heard short, autobiographic narrations by visually impaired or unimpaired individuals, and we assessed their empathic responding and mentalizing performance. Our findings did not reveal heightened empathy and mentalizing proclivities when the narrator's visual abilities aligned with those of the participant. However, in some circumstances, cognitive understanding of others' narrations benefitted from familiarity with the situation. Overall, our findings suggest that social understanding does not mainly rely on perceptual familiarity with concrete situations but is likely grounded in sharing emotions and experiences on a more fundamental level.

مصطلحات جغرافية: VIETNAM

مستخلص: Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory study is to investigate the perceptions of key stakeholders in Vietnam on the impact on audit quality and independence after major reforms to audit. Design/methodology/approach: Using new institutional sociology, this study seeks to explain how Vietnamese external auditors and accountants have responded to audit reforms and provides perceptions on how audit quality and independence may have been impacted. This study draws on semi-structured interviews conducted with 33 highly experienced participants, representing various stakeholder groups in Vietnam. Findings: The findings indicate that after almost a decade since the full implementation of the Law of Independent Audit (2011) in Vietnam, the audit and assurance market in Vietnam is characterised by low quality audits, a lack of compliance with standards and auditor independence concerns, specifically amongst the smaller audit practitioners. Participants indicated that competition for new audit clients or retaining existing clients is a priority over improving audit quality and independence. Originality/value: By examining a combination of different factors relating to audit quality and independence, the authors further demonstrate the impact of these factors in Vietnam, helping audit professionals and regulators to have a better and more meaningful understanding of that state of the audit profession. This study also considers audit concerns or issues arising because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات موضوعية: *ENERGY storage, *VERSTEHEN, *CITIZENS, *ELECTRIC power distribution grids, *RENEWABLE energy sources

مستخلص: Renewable, decentralised, and citizen-centred energy paradigms have emerged as feasible and reliable alternatives to the traditional centralised fossil-based infrastructure. In this scenario, energy storage systems (ESSs) are enabling technologies to boost the stability and flexibility of the power grid in the short-to-medium term, allowing local communities to envision energy autonomy in the medium term. Traditionally, ESSs have been installed in individual households for their own benefit. However, new storage paradigms focusing on building clusters and district scale have illustrated the need to revise the role of ESSs and to pay close attention to the social factors, while devising implementation strategies for scaling up these new energy infrastructural models. This study reviews recent research trends (2021–2023), proposing three integrated social pillars for the implementation of ESSs: (i) multi-dimensional geographical and institutional scales of ESSs; (ii) social components of spatial and temporal flexibility of ESSs; and (iii) co-creation approaches to devising ESS implementation strategies. These pillars point out the necessary social factors for the implementation of ESSs at scale, highlighting future research perspectives to operationalise such factors, with a particular focus on the importance of citizens' perception, participation, and collaboration, which are critical for maximising the benefit of sharing and exchanging renewable energy locally. Development of flexible and agile digital platforms that facilitate the co-creation of adaptable socio-technical solutions to adopting ESSs is proposed. The need to tailor these solutions to suit the stakeholders' capabilities is emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
