The art of non-verbal communication in perlocutionary giftedness by Adam Świątek

“…On the other hand, almost simultaneously, Austin (1962) introduced the tripartite division of a speech act, with locutions, illocutions, and perlocutions as the integral components, later developed by Searle (1969), who shed new light on the Speech Act Theory (SAT). At that time, however, the role of the perlocutionary component was significantly diminished, since the primary goal of pragmatics was to investigate the speaker’s intentions. …”

Specifics of Transformation Projects in Universities and the Work of the Project Team by S. N. Apenko, G. Z. Efimova, M. Yu. Semenov

“…The transformation projects implemented in universities are associated with many diverse problems, key among which were: the destruction of agreements due to geopolitical risks; lack or complete absence of funding; varying financial success of projects; disunity of the team and lack of understanding of common goals and objectives of the project; lack of practical implementation of the project, etc.The success of the transformation project is signaled by both classical criteria called in the theory and practice of project management, for example, compliance with project deadlines, project execution within the allocated resources, and criteria less frequently mentioned in research, for example, the development of the project team, the formation of project values and norms of project culture, satisfaction of stakeholders and others. …”

On expansions for nonlinear systems Error estimates and convergence issues by Beauchard, Karine, Le Borgne, Jérémy, Marbach, Frédéric

“…Explicit formulas expressing the solution to non-autonomous differential equations are of great importance in many application domains such as control theory or numerical operator splitting. In particular, intrinsic formulas allowing to decouple time-dependent features from geometry-dependent features of the solution have been extensively studied.First, we give a didactic review of classical expansions for formal linear differential equations, including the celebrated Magnus expansion (associated with coordinates of the first kind) and Sussmann’s infinite product expansion (associated with coordinates of the second kind). …”
