Understanding the invention phase of management innovation: a design theory perspective
This paper aims at changing the perspective on management innovation by considering management innovations as managerial objects that come out of a design process. We choose Peter Drucker's invention of management by objectives and self-control as a case study. After reconstituting how precisely Peter Drucker came to invent MBO, we use formal design theory concepts to analyze how the concept of MBO was generated. We identify four key breakthroughs with respect to established management ideas and practices and we detect what earlier breakthroughs were necessary, so including the invention of MBO within the historical evolution of management concepts. Wediscuss the conceptual genealogy obtained and conclude on how a design theory perspective on management innovation could be generalized, how it could improve the way we tell the history of management thought andpractice and how we could better conceive and steer future management innovation processes.

الذكاء العاطفي
كتبت مئات الكتب عن الذكاء العاطفي، وتم تعريفه في الغالب بطرق عديدة اعتمادا على اهتمامات الكاتب أو منهجه الأكاديمي. مع ازدياد الدراسات حول الموضوع وتطوير نماذج مختلفة أصبح الذكاء العاطفي واحدا من أكثر الأفكار تداولا في علم النفس العام، والتدريب الصناعي، والإدارة، والتربية، وبرامج الرعاية الاجتماعية. لقد تم توصيف الذكاء العاطفي على أنه تفسير لما يفعله الدماغ، ووسيلة لتحقيق الأهداف، وأساس لتحسين الحياة والعلاقات العائلية، وتطوير آفاق العمل وتعزيز نجاح الأشخاص في أعمالهم. إن التعامل الإيجابي مع الضغوط والاكتئاب والتغلب على القلق هي بعض نتائج الذكاء العاطفي في إحدى تطبيقاته. أما بالنسبة لتطبيقاته الأخرى فهي امتلاك قدرة أفضل على التفاوض، وإبرام صفقات أفضل أو زيادة المبيعات. الهدف من هذا الكتاب واضح وبسيط، ألا وهو جعل القارىء يفهم فهما عمليا انبثاق فكرة الذكاء العاطفي، ومن هم الأشخاص الذين يقولون بأهميتها ولماذا هي مهمة للقراء، مع أدوات تساعد القارىء على تطوير ذكائه العاطفي الخاص به. وسنستكشف في هذا الكتاب المهارات والمعرفة العملية التي يطورها الذكاء العاطفي. ثم استخدام الذكاء العاطفي في التعليم وتربية الأطفال والرعاية الصحية، وكيف يمكن توظيفه لجعل حياتك أفضل.

The “Disappearing” of Croatian Art in Hungarian Art Exhibitions at the Turn of the 20th Century
This article examines the place of Croatian art within Hungarian art exhibitions around the turn of the century. Over close to a decade, from the 1896 Millennial Exhibition until the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, the way Croatian art was displayed within Hungarian exhibitions had changed. While it might seem that the ultimate absence of Croatian art in later Hungarian displays is an example of Hungarian chauvinism, the opposite is the case: Croatian art still continued to be displayed, but not as a subsidiary of Hungarian art.

Rheumatological features of Whipple disease
Whipple disease (WD) is a rare infectious systemic disease. Rheumatologists are at the frontline of WD diagnosis due to the early rheumatological manifestations. An early diagnosis is crucial, as usual anti-rheumatic drugs, especially TNF inhibitors, may worsen the disease course. We conducted a retrospective multicentre national study from January 2010 to April 2020 to better characterize the rheumatological features of WD. Classic WD (CWD) was defined by positive periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining of a small-bowel biopsy sample, and non-CWD (NCWD) was defined by negative PAS staining of a small-bowel biopsy sample but at least one positive Tropheryma whipplei (TW) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for a digestive or extradigestive specimen. Sixty-eight patients were enrolled, including 11 CWD patients. Twenty patients (30%) received TNF inhibitors during the WD course, with inefficacy or symptom worsening. More digestive symptoms and systemic biological features were observed in CWD patients than in NCWD patients, but both patient groups had similar outcomes, especially concerning the response to antibiotics and relapse rate. Stool and saliva TW PCR sensitivity were both 100% for CWD and 75% for NCWD and 89% and 60% for small-bowel biopsy sample PCR, respectively. WD encountered in rheumatology units has many presentations, which might result from different pathophysiologies that are dependent on host immunity. Given the heterogeneous presentations and the presence of chronic carriage, multiple TW PCR tests on samples from specific rheumatological sites when possible should be performed, but samples from nonspecific digestive and extradigestive sites also have great value.

Racehoss : Big Emma's boy
\"A timeless classic\" (San Antonio Express-News) about a black man who spent seventeen years on a brutal Texas prison plantation and underwent a remarkable transformation. First published in 1984, Racehoss: Big Emma's Boy is Albert Race Sample's \"unforgettable\" (The Dallas Morning News) tale of resilience, revelation, and redemption. From being raised by a hard-drinking black prostitute who refused to let her mixed-race son call her Mama to seventeen years of incarceration, many of them spent picking cotton in an all-black prison plantation known as the \"burnin' Hell,\" to a profound spiritual awakening in solitary confinement and a new life, Sample's remarkable experiences are shocking, vital, and moving. With new stories that had been edited out of the first edition, a foreword by Texas attorney and writer David R. Dow, and an afterword by Sample's widow, Carol, this new edition of Racehoss: Big Emma's Boy offers a more complete picture of this extraordinary time in America's recent past.

Climate Change Sensitivity Index for Pacific Salmon Habitat in Southeast Alaska
Global climate change may become one of the most pressing challenges to Pacific Salmon conservation and management for southeast Alaska in the 21st Century. Predicted hydrologic change associated with climate change will likely challenge the ability of specific stocks to adapt to new flow regimes and resulting shifts in spawning and rearing habitats. Current research suggests egg-to-fry survival may be one of the most important freshwater limiting factors in Pacific Salmon's northern range due to more frequent flooding events predicted to scour eggs from mobile spawning substrates. A watershed-scale hydroclimatic sensitivity index was developed to map this hypothesis with an historical stream gauge station dataset and monthly multiple regression-based discharge models. The relative change from present to future watershed conditions predicted for the spawning and incubation period (September to March) was quantified using an ensemble global climate model average (ECHAM5, HadCM3, and CGCM3.1) and three global greenhouse gas emission scenarios (B1, A1B, and A2) projected to the year 2080. The models showed the region's diverse physiography and climatology resulted in a relatively predictable pattern of change: northern mainland and steeper, snow-fed mountainous watersheds exhibited the greatest increases in discharge, an earlier spring melt, and a transition into rain-fed hydrologic patterns. Predicted streamflow increases for all watersheds ranged from approximately 1-fold to 3-fold for the spawning and incubation period, with increased peak flows in the spring and fall. The hydroclimatic sensitivity index was then combined with an index of currently mapped salmon habitat and species diversity to develop a research and conservation priority matrix, highlighting potentially vulnerable to resilient high-value watersheds. The resulting matrix and observed trends are put forth as a framework to prioritize long-term monitoring plans, mitigation experiments, and finer-scale climate impact and adaptation studies.
