This concluding study devoted to quantificational accounts of consequence and related logical properties deals with the model-theoretic account (MTA). In response to objections questioning its intuitive adequacy, it is argued that MTA does not aim to analyse “the” alleged intuitive notion of consequence, but aims to formally reconstruct one specific semantic account, according to which valid arguments preserve truth in virtue of their logic-semantic structure and irrespectively of particular semantic values of the non-logical vocabulary. So conceived, MTA is arguably superior to any other quantificational account, being based on a principled account of the semantic structure and the specific contribution of logical elements to it.

The purpose of this paper is to present a new paradigm and an innovative technology for thinking about the future. The concept of time synchronization is introduced as a technology to improve individual competency for balancing the continuous construction of reinterpreted pasts, presents and futures in order to cope with the acceleration of change, complexity, and uncertainty. This new paradigm is driven by recognition of three factors: 1) Humans are both conservative and novelty generating. 2) Novelty is a key factor of life and humans address novelty through pattern-evolving creativity. 3) Reality is defined through the unique ability of humans to anticipate and define experience in terms of pattern and category. This article asserts that rapidly expanding human plurality and novelty require new models concerning relationships of past, present, and future. Such models should adequately address the rapidly changing and more complex conditions in which they are constructed and deconstructed, including the expanding opportunities that accompany them.

Models are the coin of the realm in current philosophy of science, as they are in science itself, having replaced laws and theories as the primary strategy. Logical Positivism tried to erase the older neo-Kantian distinction between ideal constructions and reality. It returns in the case of models. Nowak’s concept of idealization provided an alternative account of this issue. It construed model application as concretizations of hypotheses which improve by accounting for exceptions. This appears to account for physical law. But it raises the problem of uniqueness: is the result unique, as physical law should be? Neo-Kantianism failed this test. Its solutions were circular justifications for claims of uniqueness. Nowak inherited the problem without resolving it.

The article seeks to show current approaches to and models of employee competencies. It examines the place and role of human resources in an organisation while also introducing a quantitative and qualitative approach to these competencies. Selected aspects of these competencies are presented from the perspective of structuralism, phenomenology and behaviourism are also presented, with both American and British models for identifying employee competencies discussed. Finally, the future development directions of the concept of competence management are described.

The paper describes the specific approach of Regulation School to growth theory and models. Contemporary neoclassical research is built upon a strong substitutability between labour and capital. Regulation Theory takes into account the rough complementarity of production factors, as evidenced by econometric studies. In the Regulation Approach, the study of the long run aims at formalizing the two sided relationship between economic trends, institutions, demography and technology. Finally, studies of the long run history, and relevant cross national analyses, might disentangle between trends and continuities, as well as qualitative and therefore quantitative changes. In the globalization, the relations between the financial, the economic, and the social 'poles' change deeply: the financial pole becomes dominates the other poles.
