The paper deals with the Polish word raport and the Russian word рапорт that are similar in sounding. The issue of which lexical borrowings in the Russian language should be considered polonisms is ...being resolved. We start with the review of the word raport dictionary descriptions in Polish lexicographical sources. It shows the change in the lexical meaning of the studied word over time. In a similar way we analyze the lexicographical description of the Russian word рапорт. The study proposes an analysis of relevant examples from mono-, bi- and polylingual dictionaries. The article presents the results of the corpora data study. The contexts of raport word usage in the National Corpus of Polish and рапорт word in the Russian National Corpus, as well as the ways of these words’ translations from Polish into Russian and from Russian into Polish, are being studied and presented. It is concluded that the polysemantic word (five meanings) in Polish when borrowed to Russian splits into three words: рапорт (first and second meanings), раппорт (third and fourth meanings) and раппорт (fifth meaning), the last two words with change in graphic appearance, reflecting the original spelling in French. If in Polish the correlation of the first meaning of the lexeme under study with military art disappears with time, in Russian, on the contrary, it develops.
This paper presents a review of the many dictionaries of psychology published in Latin America between 1916 and 2000. Information was retrieved from publishing house catalogs, databases, archives and ...libraries, and academic curricula, as well as through consultations with specialists in the history of psychology. The article mainly highlights those works that have become widely disseminated in the region. Within this framework, it foregrounds works produced by local authors, as well as foreign works translated into Spanish and Portuguese. The paper also makes reference to various thematic dictionaries, such as those of social psychology and psychoanalysis. Overall, it is argued that the widest dissemination of dictionaries in Latin America took place after the mid-twentieth century, when universities introduced psychology majors and an audience of psychology specialists had emerged.

Have you found that those occurrences often involve not only individuals' differing views (including your own) but also a lack of alignment with-or even a lack of clarity related to-the ...organization's cultural norms? Former chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Earl Warren, said, "The man of character, sensitive to the meaning of what he is doing, will know how to discover the ethical paths in the maze of possible behavior," in a 1962 speech at the Louis Marshall Award Dinner of the Jewish Theological Seminary. In the modern world where conflicts abound and examples of power struggles and conflicts fill the news, the insights we gain by rising above the maze not only can help solve problems but also build leadership character.

Roma era la cuna de la libertad, celebrada por su justicia y lenidad, y sin embargo, ¿de qué manera gobernaba sus provincias? Los términos siguen siendo usados hoy día en Estados Unidos y Gran ...Bretaña. 6 La Petición al Rey fue anunciada por el Congreso el 5 de octubre de 1774 y enviada a Inglaterra el 25 del mismo mes. 7 Probablemente, ese Primer Congreso Americano (first American congress') al que se refiere aquí Hamilton sea el conocido como Congreso del Timbre o Primer Congreso Colonial Americano, cuando algunos representantes coloniales se reunieron en Nueva York entre el 7 y el 25 de octubre de 1765 tras la aprobación del Acta del Timbre. Fue la primeración reunión de representantes electos de varias colonias para idear una protesta contra la nueva tributación británica. 8 La Ley del Timbre, o Ley del Sello (Stamp Act) de 1765, supuso un impuesto directo y específico para las Trece Colonias que requería que la mayoría de los materiales impresos en las colonias se publicaran en papel sellado y producido en Londres, timbrados con un sello fiscal en relieve. 9 Esta ley para la recaudación efectiva de impuestos, también conocida como Ley del Azúcar (Sugar Act), fue aprobada por el Parlamento británico a principios de abril de 1764. 33 Publicado el 4 de abril de 1755, A Dictionary of the English Language de Samuel Johnson se convirtió en el diccionario más influyente de la lengua inglesa hasta la llegada del Oxford English Dictionary. 34 El párrafo completo es un juego de palabras sobre el verbo spare ("ahorrar, evitar, perdonar") que surge de la expresión kill them sparingly ("sacrificadlas con moderación") y que, como Hamilton indica en el párrafo siguiente, responde a un juego de palabras similar que el Granjero había hecho en su panfleto a raíz de la misma frase. 35 El Granjero escribió: "We are ordered to kill them sparingly: a queer phrase; however, let it pass.
