Changes in the phenomenon of icon-painting in Romania from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present day by Draghici-Vasilescu, N

“…<p>The thesis aims to prove, on the one hand that the second half of the nineteenth century was the period of maximum deviation from the traditional Romanian style of icon-painting and, on the other hand, that the process following the Romanian Orthodox Church's Synod of 1889, in spite of the proclaimed return to a pure Byzantine style, actually has involved the coexistence of at least two main styles of painting: Eastern Mannerist of Byzantine lineage and Western Mannerist of <em>Renaissance</em> persuasion. …”

Phase separation of a microtubule plus-end tracking protein into a fluid fractal network by Czub, MP, Uliana, F, Grubić, T, Padeste, C, Rosowski, KA, Lorenz, C, Dufresne, ER, Menzel, A, Vakonakis, I, Gasser, U, Steinmetz, MO

The nature and limits of guidance by Pike, J

“…The first is that by ‘guidance’, I have in mind a certain kind of interaction between people and the law, an interaction that (at least partly) occurs in people’s minds. The second is that, in arguing that it is plausible to think that the law does not necessarily exist to guide us, I do so from the premise that the law necessarily aims to be a supreme normative authority. …”

Examining the antecedents of medical tourists use of social media from the standpoint of self-efficacy by Balouchi, Mina, Aziz, Yuhanis Abdul

“…To that end, this study presents a conceptual framework for evaluating medical tourists' online behaviour and empirically tests the model's validity by examining various dimensions of self-efficacy.A sample of 224 people who searched for medical tourism information online was used in this study. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the proposed model with data from an online questionnaire survey.The findings suggest that sources of self-efficacy reinforce one's belief in the ability to use social media for medical travel planning purposes. …”
