AbstractDue to the fast-paced nature of the software industry and the success of small agile projects, researchers and practitioners are interested in scaling agile processes to larger projects. Agile software development (ASD) has been growing in popularity for over two decades. With the success of small-scale agile transformation, organizations started to focus on scaling agile. There is a scarcity of literature in this field making it harder to find plausible evidence to identify the science behind large scale agile transformation. The objective of this paper is to present a better understanding of the current state of research in the field of scaled agile transformation and explore research gaps. This tertiary study identifies seven relevant peer reviewed studies and reports research findings and future research avenues.

The present paper shows the current state of a feasibility study of the University of Applied Sciences Esslingen. The intention of this study is the conversion of a model-turbine into a turboshaft-engine for variable applications, with as few as possible modifications. The shaft power of the engine is estimated on 20 kW at least. It is intended to use a recuperator to augment its efficiency. After a general introduction possible applications are discussed and the previous design-process is explained: Subsequent to the concept-phase cycle parameters were calculated and the power turbine was designed and manufactured. At present turbine tests are running. The recuperator is of counter flow type. To shorten the flow path it is mounted directly around the combustor. Currently different variations are being designed which will be optimised. The pressure loss within the exhaust manifold between power turbine and recuperator has already been reduced by simulations and tests. This will be minimised through application of a genetic optimisation software.

The text explores traditions of film education, understood as education through film, in Polish film studies. Although film education has been a de facto part of informal education, we can trace many initiatives aimed at making it an element of formal schooling. Hence the attempt to incorporate film education into school curriculums at various levels of education, undertaken mainly by academic film experts (B. W. Lewicki, E. Nurczyńska-Fidelska). School film education has been fraught with numerous technological obstacles, as well as a lack of available materials to use as a foundation for educational practice. It has also been a challenge to develop appropriate competences of teaching staff. Film education has not found its place as a subject within formal education until today. The current fragmentation of entities responsible for it, and the lack of a coherent strategy means that film education becomes the domain of commercial and non-commercial programmes implemented in cinemas for the purposes of school education.

This review examines the current state of research on the weapons effect, a phenomenon in which the mere presence of weapons is presumed to cause people to behave more aggressively. The General Aggression Model (GAM) is often used to explain how and why the weapons effect occurs. Hence research on the extent to which weapons prime cognitive and appraisal processes is considered, based on findings from recent meta-analytic research. Findings from classic and contemporary studies offer mixed support for the weapons effect. Implications for theory and future research will be discussed.

The purpose of the article is to present research findings that deal with the organization of the accounting system in the Lodz ghetto. As a result of the research, it was found that the accounting system in the Lodz ghetto was characterized by a high degree of orderliness and an extensive internal structure, which were in conflict with the conditions of how the closed Jewish district functioned. Archival empirical research was carried out, covering mainly materials collected in the State Archives in Lodz The article presents characteristics of the current state of research, an applied research approach, a description of the adminis-trative structures and enterprises operating in the ghetto, an examination of how accounting was orga-nized, financial audit, and training in accounting. Bauman's social theory regarding the rationality of the will to survive was used as the research approach. The article is, to the best of the author's knowledge, the first attempt to examine the organization of the accounting system in the Lodz ghetto, carried out from the perspective of the Jewish accountants.

The Relationship

This two-part article suggests ingredients in the therapy relationship that are common to all interventions. It then examines similarities and differences in how the relationship works within the three dominant approaches to therapy. The overall aim of the article is to restimulate research and theory on the relationship. The first part defines the relationship and proposes three components to all therapeutic relationships: a working alliance, a transference configuration, and a real relationship. Five propositions are offered about the operation of each component within and across theoretical orientations. The second part examines how views of the relationship in perspectives broadly labeled psychoanalytic, humanistic, and learning vary according to three theoretical dimensions: the centrality, real-unreal, and means-end dimensions. Central research findings are reviewed for each theoretical perspective, the current state of research is examined for each, and suggestions are offered for future directions.

Purpose: This paper is a thematic literature review to examine the current state of research about Culturally Responsive Pedagogy in mathematics. The main themes are students’ perception, teacher education for pre-service teacher and professional development for teachers. Research methods/ approach: Literature was collected from Eric, which is a research engine of the education field. Also, Google Scholar is used to find articles of major scholars introduced by Dr. Rich Milner, who is the instructor of this course. Findings: Students faced microaggressions in mathematics class, which discouraged them to learn mathematics. The effect of teacher education was inconsistent in terms of the awareness of culturally responsive pedagogy and lesson plans. Research of professional development mentioned that mathematics was cultural. Implications for research and practice: It is more interesting to conduct long term or follow-up research to find the teacher’s practice after a taking professional development program. Also, it is critical to expand research scope besides African American and Latino students. Finally, evidence-based research is needed to change the political situation. Keywords: culturally responsive teaching, mathematics, teacher education, professional development, student’s perception
