Otobiyografik Gazetecilik Anlatıları Bize Ne Söylüyor?
Authors: SÖZERİ ÖZDAL Ceren
Published: December 2022

Gazetecilerin otobiyografileri veya anıları, daha geniş bir tanımla “ben anlatıları” gazetecilik tarihinin temel kaynaklarındandır. Sübjektifliği tartışma konusu olsa da,öznenin kendisi ve kendisini metinde nasıl inşa ettiği gazetecilik ve haber sosyolojisi açısından incelemeye değerdir. Aynı dönemde yayınlanan üç otobiyografik kitaba odaklanan ve benzer konuları ele alan bu çalışma, medyanın güncel ekonomi politik iklimini karşılaştırmalı bir okumayla betimlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Analiz, gazetecilerin kendilerini dışlayan medya ortamını “teslim olan”, “rehin alınan” ve “itaatkâr” gibi sözcüklerle tanımladıklarını göstermiştir. Gazeteciler, iktidarın medya politikalarının yanı sıra mevcut iklimin birincil sorumluları olarak medya sahiplerini ve patronaj ilişkilerini işaret etmektedirler. Bunun yanı sıra sistemi sorgulamak yerine direniş ve dayanışma eksikliğini bireysel ahlaki problemlere indirgedikleri, bu sistemi yaratan sebepleri ihmal ettikleri gözlenmiştir. Her üç anlatı da kendi başarılarına odaklanmış, mesleğe dair sosyal, kültürel ve politik tartışma öz eleştiri eksikliği nedeniyle sınırlı kalmıştır.
The issue of exploitation of prostitution – Polish criminal law in relation to international regulations
Authors: Mirowska Lena
Published: December 2022

Prostitution as a phenomen is very often a controversial issue which is the basis for legal, social and psychological discussion. Consequently, there are many legal systems of prostitution as a response to the exploitation of prostitution. In Poland, there is an abolitionist system, which the demands are implemented by Polish criminal law while taking into account international legal acts. The presentation of crimes of exploitation of prostitution in Polish criminal law in relation to international regulations presents the level of complexity of the problem of exploitation of prostitution.

Authors: Pięta Wiesław
Published: December 2022

For almost fifty years students and academics scholars are contributing to the growth and development of physical culture in the University. An important role in this process is played by academic teachers of the Physical Education & Sport Centre. In the researched period, the number of teaching hours of physical education was systematically reduced from 240 hours to 30 hours (ministerial central decisions). Sports classes at the University are supplemented by sports sections in selected disciplines. Students training in such sports sections have won already 434 medals in Polish Academic Championships and lecturers from the Physical Education & Sport Centre significantly contributed to those results. The Centre’s personnel consist of specialists in team games and individual sports. Their results in World, European and Polish Academic Championships have contributed to the promotion of Jan Długosz University in Europe and the world. The best section of KU AZS (Academic Club of University Sports Association) is women’s table tennis (9 medals in Polish Team Championships, 8 Polish Cups, 46 matches played in the European Cup). The sport activists of KU AZS together with the Physical Education & Sport Centre in Częstochowa organized 28 Academic Championships of Poland. In the 20th century tourism and camping were withdrawn as compulsory classes. Since 2008 students of UJD have had excellent conditions for practicing sports and recreation (Academic Sports Center).
Desempenho e risco de fundos de investimento em ações brasileiros no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Teles Pedro Paulo Portella , Lima Guilherme Araújo , Silva Sabrina Espinele da , Iquiapaza Robert Aldo
Published: December 2022

O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar como os fundos de investimento em ações brasileiros se comportaram durante o período da Covid-19. A análise foi dividida em 3 sub-períodos: (i) pré-crise (2019-10-03 a 2020-01-31); (ii) crash (2020-02-19 a 2020-03-23); (iii) e recuperação (2020-03-24 a 2020-04-30). Os principais resultados mostraram que durante o período de crash em todas as categorias mais de 50% dos fundos obtiveram retorno superior ao IBRX100. Porém, no período de recuperação o cenário se inverte e a grande maioria dos fundos passa a ter um desempenho inferior ao do índice. No entanto, quando o desempenho é analisado sob a óptica de modelos multifatoriais de risco, é possível identificar geração de alfa positiva durante o período pré-crise e negativa (destruição de valor) durante o período de crash. Além disso, ao examinar os fluxos de investimento, pode-se perceber que não houve um fenômeno de “corrida” para realizar o resgate da cota. Na realidade, durante quase todo o período analisado, as captações excederam os resgates. Isso pode indicar que o investidor cotista de fundos está mais educado financeiramente e que agiu com mais cautela ao aguardar um momento menos turbulento. O artigo conclui que a indústria vinha de um bom desempenho no período pré-crise, que foi interrompido por um período de destruição de valor durante o momento de maior turbulência e que, por fim, durante o período de recuperação, o desempenho foi inferior ao do índice de mercado, mas sem geração ou destruição significativa de valor.

Published: December 2022

Considerada a ambidestria a capacidade de uma organização de criar, inovar e obter novas descobertas para garantir sustentabilidade em longo prazo, ao mesmo tempo em que aprimora procedimentos internos visando eficiência operacional de curto prazo, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o potencial que os empreendimentos abrigados no Parque de Ciência e Tecnologia Guamá, Belém – PA, possuem para o alcance de um desempenho superior, tomando como base suas características de gestão ambidestras. Esta pesquisa contribui para avanços nas estratégias das organizações do Parque e pretende inspirar outros empreendimentos nas mesmas características. Foram realizadas entrevistas presenciais para aplicação de questionário a 19 gestores residentes do PCT Guamá, sendo que os dados foram tratados inicialmente com estatística descritiva, seguido da criação de um “Índice de ambidestria” capaz de possibilitar a análise do potencial de desempenho de cada empreendimento. Os resultados indicaram que as startups do PCT Guamá possuem potencial de desempenho, com ênfase na utilização da dimensão exploração, que apresentou maiores índices de práticas de gestão do que a dimensão explotação, fato que pode ser explicado pela própria característica de inovação dos empreendimentos abrigados em parques tecnológicos. Assim, conclui-se que o ecossistema do PCT-Guamá se mostra favorável para o desenvolvimento ambidestro de startups, ou seja, favorável ao desenvolvimento da capacidade de garantir a sustentabilidade de longo prazo, sem perder de vista a necessidade de gerir adequadamente os recursos de curto prazo, tendo este estudo indicado lacunas que devem ser observadas e podem ser trabalhadas por meio de consultorias e treinamentos junto às organizações abrigadas para a potencialização do desempenho, aumentando a sustentabilidade e procurando garantir a sobrevivência em longo prazo desses empreendimentos.
Efeitos de aspectos contingenciais no nível de controle interno adotado por instituições bancárias listadas na Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3)
Authors: Pereira Mércia de Lima , Celestino Égon José Mateus , Câmara Renata de Paes de Barros
Published: December 2022

O objetivo deste artigo foi verificar como os aspectos contingenciais afetam o nível de controle interno adotado por 19 instituições bancárias listadas na B3, no período de 2013 a 2021; o que resultou em 171 observações por variável. Os dados sobre o nível de controle interno (variável dependente) foram construídos com base nos mecanismos internos visualizados sob o prisma das boas práticas de Governança Corporativa do Instituto Brasileiro de Governança Corporativa (IBGC), sendo os mesmos obtidos nos Formulários de Referências das companhias, via site da B3. Já os dados dos aspectos organizacionais (ou contingenciais), variáveis independentes, tamanho, idade da organização, diversificação de produtos de crédito, estrutura societária e expansão geográfica, foram obtidas no banco de dados Economatica®, nos Formulários cadastrais, de Referência e nas Notas Explicativas das companhias bancárias, disponíveis no site da B3. A partir da estimação de regressão múltipla para dados em painel, por meio do modelo de Mínimos Quadrados Generalizados (generalized least square - GLS), observou-se que a idade e a expansão geográfica não são significativas para explicar o nível de controle interno, mas o tamanho, a diversificação de produtos de crédito e a estrutura societária das instituições bancárias são. Porém, somente a estrutura societária é significativamente negativa. Assim, estes resultados demonstram que o tamanho e a diversificação de produtos de crédito tornam complexas e volumosas as atividades bancárias, justificando a busca por mais controles internos, mas também aponta que os diferentes contextos geográficos e culturais das unidades bancárias podem comprometer a adoção de controles gerenciais.

Aim. To compare the immediate and long-term results of robot-assisted and open resection of the liver and bile ducts for portal cholangiocarcinoma.Materials and methods. The retrospective study was based upon the results of open and robot-assisted resections in 2013–2021. Patients without signs of the tumor invasion into the great vessels requiring resection and reconstruction were selected for the robot-assisted resection of the liver and bile ducts. Propensity score matching was carried out within the immediate environment in the ratio 1:2 for five covariates.Results. The results of 147 open resections of the liver and bile ducts and 17 robot-assisted resections were compared. After propensity score matching, the authors compared 33 open and 17 robot-assisted resections. Before and after propensity score matching, statistically significant differences were obtained only in the longer duration of robotassisted resections. Right hepatectomy and caudal resection were performed more frequently in the group of patients with robot-assisted interventions, but without significant differences. The authors noted a tendency to a higher frequency of R0 and a lower 90-day mortality rate after robot-assisted interventions, with no differences in the rate and nature of complications, as well as in duration of hospitalization. Survival did not differ before and after propensity score matching. After open and robot-assisted interventions the overall five-year survival rates before propensity score matching were 32% and 67%, after propensity score matching the overall four-year survival rates accounted for 62% and 63%.Conclusion. Analysis of the first experience shows a tendency to improve some immediate outcomes without worsening survival. Robot-assisted resection of the liver and bile ducts can be applied, without limitation of oncologic principles, in selected patients with portal cholangiocarcinoma if the resection is performed in specialized hepatological centers, where specialists have experience in minimally invasive surgery.

Aim. To develop a universal technology of thrombectomy from the veins of the mesenteric portal system and to evaluate the outcomes of liver transplantation for cirrhosis combined with non-tumorous portal vein thrombosis.Materials and methods. Immediate and long-term results of 309 transplantations in patients with liver cirrhosis of various etiologies were studied. In 46 cases (14.9%), transplantation was performed in patients with liver cirrhosis and concomitant thrombosis in the veins of the mesenteric portal system. Results. A versatile method of thrombectomy, depending on the degree of thrombosis in the veins of the mesenteric portal system was proposed (M.A. Yerdel et al., 2000). Mesenteric portal vein thrombosis increased duration of transplantation and volume of intraoperative blood loss as compared to patients without concomitant thrombosis. No statistically significant differences were found in the overall incidence of postoperative complications, hospital mortality and duration of hospitalization of the patients after liver transplantation with concomitant venous thrombosis compared to the patients without thrombosis. The incidence of thrombotic complications, including hepatic artery thrombosis, was significantly higher after liver transplantation supplemented with thrombectomy from the portal vein system. Five-year survival rate of the patients after liver transplantation with concomitant thrombosis in the veins of the mesenteric portal system was 94.9% (median – 40 months), patients without thrombosis in the veins of the mesenteric portal system – 93.2% (median – 60 months).Conclusion. Transplantation in patients with cirrhosis and thrombosis in the veins of the mesenteric-portal system shows good immediate and long-term results in case proper thrombectomy is carried out.

Aim. To compare the incidence and timing of recurrent bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices against the background of extrahepatic portal hypertension after various interventions.Materials and methods. The research methodology involved analyzing the treatment results of 131 patients with extrahepatic portal hypertension who underwent various surgical interventions from 2006 to 2020. Total dissociation of the gastroesophageal collector was carried out in 57 patients (43.5%), portosystemic shunting – in 51 (38.9%), endoscopic interventions – in 23 (17.6%).Results. When comparing the recurrent bleeding rate, it was found out that the most effective intervention is portosystemic shunting. After endoscopic interventions the bleeding rate is 65.2%, and rebleeding occurs in 13.5 ± 2.9 months. After total dissociation of the gastroesophageal collector, a recurrence-free course was observed in 35.1% of cases (p = 0.014), with timing of 25.9 ± 4.4 months (p < 0.05). In terms of timing, this did not differ from the recurrence after portosystemic shunt surgery (41.4 ± 8.2 months), but was significantly less in the bleeding rate after decompressive surgery (17.6%; p < 0.001). Conclusion. Portosystemic shunt surgery proves to be the most effective intervention in extrahepatic portal hypertension, with a five-year remission in 75% of cases. After dissociative surgeries, 35.1% of patients experienced recurrent bleeding, with average timing of 19.6 months.

The independent component analysis with the linear regression – predicting the energy costs of the public sector buildings in Croatia
Authors: Mokriš Marinela
Published: December 2022

In the European Union, the public sector buildings are considered significant energy consumers and are, thus, the subject of several directives that aim to ensure the renovation of existing and the construction of new buildings as nearly zero-energy buildings. Therefore, as part of the decision making, it is necessary to properly plan the renovation or construction. This research provides models for predicting the energy costs of the public sector buildings, which are dependent upon its characteristics (i. e., constructional, occupational, energy, etc.). For this purpose, a real data set of Croatian public buildings was used, which included 150 variables and 1724 observations. Since the data set consisted of a large number of variables, the motivation for the dimensionality reduction was addressed first. Then, the independent component analysis, the principal component analysis, and the factor analysis were performed as the dimensionality reduction methods for variable extraction. The results of these analyses were used as inputs for modelling the energy costs of the public sector buildings. The obtained models were compared to the model built on original variables. The obtained models show the application potential in decision making for building renovation and construction in the public sector of Croatia, whereas the best performance of prediction in terms of RMSE and SMAPE was achieved by the model that integrated the independent component analysis with the linear regression.
No country for old men? Microsimulation effects of activating pensioners on the labour market
Authors: Mustać Nora , Mačkić Velibor , Rogić Dumančić Lucija
Published: December 2022

Being a pensioner in Croatia carries certain risks of poverty and inequality compared to the rest of the population. Low level of average pension compared to the minimal wage is just one case in point. On the other hand, the labour market shortage is not negligible and there is also a poor track record when it comes to pension system reforms in the last two decades. This paper investigates a possible path of the future pension system reform aimed at increasing household income levels -- focused on the labour market participation of people aged 65+ who are willing and able to solve labour shortages present in the market. The general aim of the paper is to analyze the effects that the establishment of the Pensioners Service Center might have on market income, mean household income by decile groups, poverty and inequality indices. It fills the research gap by conducting the first microsimulation of the pension system reform in Croatia focusing on market income. The hypothetical reform is simulated using the tax--benefit microsimulation model EUROMOD based on EU--SILC 2019 data for Croatia. Results confirm market income as the main cause of income inequality as well as that the second decile is the target group of the proposed intervention. Pensioners have a clear monetary incentive to increase their labour supply, which in return decreases all poverty and inequality indices.

The aim of the study was to identify the dependencies of thermal, hydro-gas dynamic, and mass transfer processes during bubbling in the production of vegetable oils. The rising of single bubbles in superheated water vapor with a temperature of 140–165°C through a layer of vegetable oil with a temperature of 120–125°C was experimentally studied. A decrease in the temperature of superheated water vapor to 140°C does not lead to a significant decrease in the size of the bubbles, and consequently the area of the interfacial surface, both at the initial stage and along the entire rising trajectory, which was established using photo fixation. At the same time, the amplitude of the spiral trajectory of the bubbles decreases accordingly from 12–15 mm to 5–10 mm. Experiments with bubbler holes of a diameter from 1 to 4 mm showed a significant change in the size of superheated water vapor bubbles by 1.5–2.0 times respectively. Various shapes of bubbles have been recorded. Preliminary recommendations are formulated for the energetically advantageous construction of the vegetable oil bubbling process: it is possible to reduce the temperature of superheated water vapor to 140°C, the diameters of the bubbler holes should be no more than 4 mm, and the step between them, respectively, should be maintained at least 10-12 times larger than these holes.

To prevent further degradation of partially oxidized beta-carotene, inclusion complexes based on beta-cyclodextrin and antioxidants (alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), ascorbic acid, and vanillin) have been developed. The complexes were obtained by the solid-phase method with intensive stirring for four hours with periodic moistening to the state of a paste, then dried in a desiccator at a temperature of 2…5С, and ground to a powder. The content of beta-carotene in the complexes was determined on a Varian-LC 920 high-performance liquid chromatograph with a Hypersil 5 AA-ODS 200 x 2.1 mm column using a diode array detector with automatic control and data processing based on Galaxie software. The influence of antioxidants and beta-cyclodextrin on the stability of beta-carotene in conditions of ultraviolet irradiation and storage at a temperature of 2…5С is considered. It is noted that the best results are observed in complexes with the inclusion of alpha-tocopherol (mass ratio of beta-cyclodextrin: beta-carotene: alpha-tocopherol – 2:1:1) and vanillin (mass ratio of beta-cyclodextrin: beta-carotene: vanillin – 6:3:1). Under the influence of ultraviolet irradiation, the degradation of beta-carotene in the composition of the complex slows down by 4 (alpha-tocopherol) and 3 (vanillin) times. During long-term storage, the oxidation of beta-carotene in complexes with the addition of alpha-tocopherol and vanillin slows down by 60%. The stabilizing effect of ascorbic acid almost has no effect on the stability of beta-carotene in the composition of the complex. At the same time, the processes of complexation between beta-cyclodextrin and antioxidants, as well as other factors, can have a significant effect on the stability of beta-carotene in multicomplex systems.

The purpose of the research was to evaluate the possibility of using the hierarchy analysis method to determine the preferences for freeze-dried yoghurts among respondents who do not have experience in tasting analysis. Yoghurts were judged on colour, taste, smell, texture, and appearance. The hierarchical structure for the sensory evaluation of fruit yoghurts consisted of two levels. The first level evaluated the importance of each sensory index for the respondent during the tasting. The second level ranked respondents' preferences among the freeze-dried yoghurts under investigation. For each level, the analysis methodology assumed a consistent determinating the weighted average assessment of the respondents’ preferences and the determinating the vectors of their priorities. The hierarchy analysis method showed that the respondents first of all paid attention to the taste, then to the texture and appearance, and least of all focused on the colour and smell of the product. Among all yoghurts, according to the calculations, respondents preferred freeze-dried yoghurt containing 10% of three types of fruit puree. A yoghurt recipe containing three types of puree in an amount of 5% received less preference among the respondents. Recipes of yoghurts containing two types of puree were ranked by the respondents at the last steps of the hierarchy of preferences. Evaluation of the homogeneity and consistency of respondents' opinions showed that the results of the researche were consistent and provided objective information on sensory evaluation. The applied hierarchy analysis method can be recommended for similar sensory researche of food products and for more complex researche on the choice of the most rational properties of the quality of products and their production technologies.

Published: December 2022

The intellectual and creative competence of a teacher directly determines his competitiveness in the professional sphere and his readiness to use his intellectual experience for the benefit of the future of his country. Thus, the specification of the essence of the component composition of intellectual competence and the description of its components seem to be extremely relevant in the light of the problem being solved. The paper analyzes the component composition of future teachers intellectual and creative competence. The necessity of the work done is explained by the fact that the competences mentioned includes all the main elements of the content of education: general educational skills, meta-knowledge, and over-subject activities. The studied intellectual and creative competence is the basis of the individual style of students cognitive activity, which underlies their future professional activity. The paper discusses various approaches to determining the structure of this competence, presented in the works of major researchers. The analysis made it possible to identify the following components of intellectual and creative competence: motivational value, cognitive, communicative, metacognitive, research, self-educational, and personal.
Use of infographics to develop speaking skills of engineering students at English classes
Authors: Shvaikina Nina S. , Popel Alexander A.
Published: December 2022

Introduction of infographics into tertiary education became widespread during COVID-19 pandemic as the latter triggered a fundamental transition from conventional education to online one. This new format of teaching immediately revealed a few difficulties, such as poor attendance of students, lack of relevant technologies and equipment as well as inability of most educational institutions to respond to these challenges properly. Together with it, we have also discovered that students found it uneasy to learn new material, however, as we believe, it might be improved by introducing new technologies into teaching methodology which can be used both in online and classroom work for example, to follow up the material which has already been learned online. One of these technologies is infographics. The purpose of this paper is to familiarize readers with infographics as a tool and explain how inforgraphics may contribute to building English speaking skills at technical university. The object of the study in hand is the process of building English speaking skills of students studying at engineering faculties (industrial and civil engineering and construction and technological faculty). The subject of the work is use of infographics to build English speaking skills of students from these faculties in ELT. The practical value of this study is to show how infographics-based exercises could be implemented into English classes for first-year students who study the language at technical university. The research novelty of this study lies in the fact that infographics as a way of visual presentation of various textual, statistical information, data and knowledge is used as a means of teaching a foreign language at the stage of higher education. The results of the research can then be used to teach English to bachelors studying a wide range of engineering degrees, or as part of a refreshing course for non-linguistic masters. In addition, it should be noted that infographics can be used both for classroom and independent work of students.

Published: December 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a catalyst for the transition of education to an online format. Clearly, most educational institutions and teachers were forced to adapt methods and forms of online educational process on the short notice. The issue of online education has long been considered from the scientific and practical sides, however, such a quick and forced transition to online revealed the problems, features and potential of online communication. The ethics of online communication in education is one of the most significant issues. The development of the information environment initiated the emergence of an educational multicultural environment, which entailed a certain kind of systemic changes, which, one way or another, will be reflected in the transformation of the elements of the information and educational environment (IEE) organization. This applies to both the traditional format of education and online educational practices. There is a number of specific features of multicultural educational environment that do not occur in monocultural environments: non-identical professional thesauri, various habitual communication patterns with a teacher, representation of educational information and educational content specifics, decision-making specifics, the attitude to creative tasks performing in the process of learning, ambiguous understanding of learning objectives, terminology, preferred type of control and measuring materials, etc.
Soft skills as key competences for successful employability of graduate students
Authors: Kuregyan Amalia L. , Khusainova Mariya A.
Published: December 2022

In modern world, the higher vocational education system must not only be able to promptly respond to the changing demands of different industries for specialists of the required majors, but also to facilitate their rapid employment. Graduates employability is an increasingly important issue. In addition to basic academic and vocational training, graduates are also required to possess flexible skills that are pivotal in transitioning from education to employment. So, for a successful activity, any specialist needs two categories of skills: hard and soft skills. When talking about hard skills, technical knowledge is meant. On the opposite, soft skills refer to communication, team work, creativity, problem solving and other personal skills. Experts agree that beside hard (technical) skills, soft (non-cognitive) skills are necessary. They represent psychological attributes that inform how people learn, think, and act. Measuring soft skills is important because they are variables that allow students to predict their professional future and career orientation. This paper presents the results of studies which have been conducted to identify key competences which todays graduates should have in order to get a desired job. Main methods and techniques that help to master and improve them are also discussed.

Published: December 2022

An analysis of some aspects of professional and psychological selection in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is presented. The diagnosis of social, psychological, psychophysiological, psychomotor qualities and physiological reserves of the bodies of candidates for service is generalized. The order, mechanisms, and methodological basis of professional selection in the Armed Forces have been determined. Systematized the requirements for educational activities in higher military educational institutions (military training units of higher education institutions) (HMEI) (MTUHEI) of Ukraine and professional activities in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The structure of the individual and psychological characteristics of the candidate for training, which he must have in order to successfully master the profession and fulfil his professional and service duties, is highlighted. Modern professional psychological selection is considered as a complex scientific problem, on the one hand, as a system, on the other – as a process. The stages of psychological selection based on a systematic approach have been supplemented and detailed. Recommendations are given for improving the comprehensive program of professional and psychological selection, increasing the effectiveness of the system of professional psychological selection of candidates for military service under contract and for training at the HMEI (MTUHEI) (creating a standardized systematic approach to psychological selection in the Armed Forces, studying professionally important qualities, indications and contraindications for service, development of professional profiles (acmeograms) of military specialists, adequate selection methods with various candidate criteria and formation of the most informative test psychodiagnostic batteries for studying and determining individual psychological characteristics of the personality, forecasting the development of mental processes and states in relation to the conditions and requirements of future activities in various military specialties, implementation of the automated systems for staffing military units at various stages of selection).
Psychological aspects of studying corruption in foreign scientific studios
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Zarychanskyi О.
Published: December 2022

The article examines scientific approaches and contexts of studying corruption as one of the most important psychological, social, economic and political problems. The article aims to determine the psychological contexts of the study of corruption as a complex multi-layered social phenomenon in foreign scientific studies; identifying its unexplored psychological variables in order to create conditions for the further development of programs for the prevention of corruption acts. The main areas of scientific analysis were: the perception of social norms and morality in the context of corrupt human behaviour, the influence of cultural beliefs and value systems, cross-cultural and gender specifics of corruption, etc. It is noted that not all societies perceive corruption in the same way. The ambiguity of the evidence of the classical interaction of power and corruption has been revealed. While some studies have indicated that involvement in power increases corrupt behaviour, others have shown that an individual's perception of power is important. It was established that perceived norms and moral costs are the main factors of a person's intention to engage in corruption-related behaviour. The perception that people around us are behaving dishonestly contributes to the further strengthening of such behaviour. Certain personality traits associated with corrupt behaviour have been identified. In particular, psychopathy, narcissism, machiavellianism, extraversion, extrinsic motivation, and low life satisfaction and self-esteem contribute to corruption. Regarding the gender of the participants, the results of the studies were mixed. It is emphasized the need to focus on situations and not on participants involved in petty corruption when forming anti-corruption measures. Rather than wishing for "more honest" officials or favouring stricter controls and fines or higher wages as solutions to corruption, the analytical results point to the importance of reducing the number of situations in which corruption is most likely to turn into corruption.
Ius Gentium and Ius Naturale in Western European Political and Legal Thought in the 17th Century
Authors: Galkin I. V.
Published: December 2022

The paper is devoted to the problem of the correlation of the legal categories ius gentium and ius naturale in the context of the political and the Western European legal thought in the 17th century. The 17th century, rich in historical events, known in the Russian historiography as the «rebellious age», becomes a turning point not only in the history of the entire European civilization, but also in the history of philosophical thought and political science, at the intersection of which the teachings of the state and law were formed. The 17th century — the time of the systemic crisis of the feudal socio-economic formation and the traditional religious ideology strongly associated with it — gives impetus to the development of capitalist economic relations in Western Europe, which was accompanied by a sharp increase in novelty in the field of philosophical and political thought. In the 17th century, prominent European political thinkers paid quite a lot of attention to the theoretical coverage of the problems of the natural state, the social contract, as well as the analysis of the categories of freedom and justice. There was a gradual departure from the methodology of peripatetism, accompanied by a revision of the intellectual heritage of ancient political and legal thought, although at the same time European political thinkers and jurists continued to widely use the terminology of classical Roman law, but in a modified semantic field. One of the most important areas of application of the ancient legal heritage is the field of international relations, closely related to the further intensification of international commerce, religious reformation, as well as the legal mechanism for declaring war and concluding peace. In the regulation of international relations, they actively used legal systems, well known from Antiquity, but greatly transformed by Modern times, and which, according to a long-established tradition, were called ius gentium and ius naturale. Thus, the paper highlights a rather ambiguous problem of the correlation of ius gentium and ius naturale in Western European political and legal thought in the 17th century.
Civil and Legal Significance of Social Media Accounts
Authors: Akhmadullina A. F.
Published: December 2022

The paper reveals the features and civil legal significance of accounts in social networks. It is proved that an account in a social network is characterized by features of an object of civil rights: the ability to satisfy private property and personal non-property interests of subjects; discreteness; legal binding; the presence of a normative and functional connection with the civil law system. It is shown that the integration of accounts into the civil law system occurs at the following levels: 1) the civil legal personality of the account holder; 2) the civil legal grounds for acquiring the right to an account in a social network; 3) the civil legal essence of actions to use the account, the production of «administrative» acts; 4) the civil legal regime of the results of intellectual activity and means of individualization that arise within the framework of the functioning of the account; 5) the civil consequences of using the account, varying depending on the specifics of the actions of the subject; 6) civil legal ways to protect the rights to the account and to protect the information contained therein; 7) civil liability applied in case of violations of the rights of account holders or their commission of offenses. The author supports the thesis on the application of the principles of civil law in interaction with the principles of information law in the system of legal relations arising from the use of the account. The differentiation of the legal status of the account holder (user) in the context of relative and absolute legal relations is shown. The features of the turnover of the account are determined, the instrumental value of the account as a legal means of achieving the goals of the subjects is revealed. The author identifies some problems of legal guarantee of property and non-property interests of users in the case of application of public law restrictive measures to social networks. The paper raises a question on the need for international legal regulation of relations in the field of cross-border functioning of social networks. The author makes a conclusion about the peculiarities of the civil law regime of accounts in social networks and substantiates the necessity of using contractual instruments to ensure the property and non-property interests of account holders.
¿Cuál es el estado del arte de la aplicación de Design Thinking en la educación superior? Una revisión de alcance de la literatura
Authors: Guaman-Quintanilla Sharon , Chiluiza Katherine , Bravo Matamoros Ariana , Everaert Patricia , Valcke Martin
Published: December 2022

Design Thinking (DT) sigue siendo un concepto difuso, así como sus resultados. Esto motivó la presente revisión de alcance de la literatura (2008-2022), en la cual se aplicó el marco de Arksey y O'Malley. Usando la plataforma Web of Science, se obtuvieron 2853 artículos, de los cuales solo 172 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Los resultados muestran que: (a) No existe un acuerdo en la definición de DT. (b) Hay una variedad de herramientas, técnicas y modelos utilizados para aplicar DT. (c) Las habilidades más comunes -asociadas a intervenciones de DT- son creatividad, trabajo en equipo y resolución de problemas. Solo 100 de 172 estudios incluyeron evaluaciones de las intervenciones de DT. Los instrumentos de investigación se basaron principalmente en auto reportes de estudiantes. La mayoría de los estudios empíricos  reportaron un impacto positivo. (d) Solo 12 estudios empíricos involucraron grupos de control, mientras que 37 adoptaron un diseño de evaluación pre-prueba con post-prueba. Se encontró que las intervenciones de DT duraron desde 90 minutos hasta  un año. La mediana del número de participantes en las intervenciones fue de 47. DT presenta una agenda de investigación interesante, pero también existe la necesidad de más estudios robustos, basados en evidencia.
¿Cómo se sitúan las escuelas rurales catalanas ante la dimensión territorial? Una mirada desde sus proyectos de centro
Authors: Carrete-Marín Núria , Buscà Francesc
Published: December 2022

La escuela rural del siglo XXI deberá de adoptar un papel fundamental como motor en el desarrollo local y como generadora de capital social y, por tanto, los proyectos de centro han de incluir la dimensión territorial, trabajando conjuntamente con la comunidad y los agentes locales, para promover la equidad y reducir desigualdades en estos contextos. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la presencia de la dimensión territorial  a través de un estudio transversal centrado en el análisis de los documentos de centro de  una muestra representativa de 193 escuelas rurales catalanas. Los resultados evidencian que, a pesar de la existencia de proyectos educativos y buenas prácticas que confirman el tratamiento de la dimensión territorial desde la ruralidad, la mayoría de las páginas web de los centros no reflejan con claridad ni su intención ni como sus prácticas educativas lo consiguen. Tampoco muestran si este tratamiento se desarrolla en colaboración con la comunidad educativa y las entidades locales. Las conclusiones refieren a la necesidad de considerar mejoras en la visibilidad del trabajo de dimensión territorial en la escuela.
Análisis de la aplicación presencial y online de la lectura dialógica en personas con discapacidad intelectual y recomendaciones para llevarla a cabo
Authors: Ayuso Lanchares Alba , Santiago Pardo Rosa Belén
Published: December 2022

La crisis de la COVID-19 supone un auge del uso de videoconferencias para la inclusión educativa. Una de las prácticas a realizar con personas con discapacidad intelectual a través de videoconferencia es la lectura dialógica, caracterizada por leer simultáneamente en voz alta y grupal utilizando técnicas interactivas. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el proceso de aplicación de la lectura dialógica en personas con discapacidad intelectual leve (DIL), con dos modalidades: tanto presencial como virtual. Se utiliza el Estudio de Caso con una metodología mixta, participando 10 adultos con DIL, realizando 5 sesiones de lectura dialógica presenciales y 5 online. Se utilizan grabaciones de video de sesiones, Longitud Media del Enunciado (LME), porcentaje de interacción comunicativa y un cuestionario Likert ad hoc, rellenado al finalizar tanto la lectura dialógica presencial como virtual. Los resultados indican que ambas modalidades son satisfactorias, pero destaca que en las sesiones presenciales es mayor: la autopercepción de su mejoría, la cantidad de opiniones personales vertidas y la iniciativa de los participantes; en las sesiones virtuales es mayor la LME y el porcentaje de interacción comunicativa de la logopeda. Finalmente, se redactan recomendaciones para sesiones de lectura dialógica online con personas adultas con DIL.
