Empathy as a professional quality of a counselling psychologist by O. Dudar

“…At the same time, it was clear that the level of empathy depends on the way an individual thinks and is an incentive for prosocial behaviour, which, in turn, is an innate, evolutionary human characteristic. According to the obtained indicators, a high level of empathy positively regulates communication relations in society, while a higher level of empathy contributes to the development of depression, psychosomatic disorders, increases anxiety and stimulates obsessive-compulsive behaviour. …”

A data-driven group retrosynthesis planning model inspired by neurosymbolic programming by Xuefeng Zhang, Haowei Lin, Muhan Zhang, Yuan Zhou, Jianzhu Ma

“…Inspired by human learning, our algorithm, akin to neurosymbolic programming, builds upon commonly used multi-step concepts such as cascade and complementary reactions and can evolve from practical experiences, enhancing the prediction model for fundamental and compositional reaction templates. The evolutionary process involves wake, abstraction, and dreaming phases, alternatively extending the reaction template library and refining models for more efficient retrosynthesis. …”

Genomic signatures of adaptation in native lizards exposed to human-introduced fire ants by Braulio A. Assis, Alexis P. Sullivan, Stephanie Marciniak, Christina M. Bergey, Vanessa Garcia, Zachary A. Szpiech, Tracy Langkilde, George H. Perry

“…Abstract Understanding the process of genetic adaptation in response to human-mediated ecological change will help elucidate the eco-evolutionary impacts of human activity. In the 1930s red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) were accidently introduced to the Southeastern USA, where today they are both venomous predators and toxic prey to native eastern fence lizards (Sceloporus undulatus). …”

A Systematic Review of Theories on Family Business Internationalization by Jahangir Yadollahi Farsi, Majid Pourmesgari

“…A subsequent narrative review further examines these theories in the context of family business internationalization.Results: These theories are categorized through two approaches: first, a multidisciplinary approach, which includes general management theories, internationalization theories, and family business-specific frameworks; and second, an interdisciplinary approach, organizing these theories within the framework of theoretical evolution. This evolutionary process starts with theory building, continues with theory development, and concludes with theory testing.Conclusions: The primary contribution of this study is the identification of core assumptions within each theory related to family business internationalization. …”
