Procjene odgojitelja i roditelja o socijalnim vještinama djece predškolske dobi
Authors: Milenović Hadži Živorad M. , Lapat Goran S. , Jeremić Biljana S.
Published: December 2024

U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja procjena socijalnih vještina djece predškolske dobi od odgojitelja i roditelja. Polazeći od činjenice da socijalne vještine predstavljaju posebne sposobnosti za obavljanje specifičnih društvenih zadataka, zanimljivim se činilo istražiti značenje razvoja socijalnih vještina djece predškolske dobi, što je u istraživanju promatrano iz perspektive odgojitelja i roditelja. Kako bi se to utvrdilo, u drugoj polovici radne godine 2022./2023. istraživanje je provedeno na jedinstvenom uzorku odgojitelja i roditelja (N = 388) s područja Grada Beograda i Autonomne Pokrajine Vojvodine (Republika Srbija). Rezultati istraživanja, prikupljeni Scalerom – POR-SVDPD (a = 0,866) i obrađeni Mann-Whitneyjevim U testom, izračunanim medijanima i eta kvadratom pokazali su da odgojitelji i roditelji djece predškolske dobi uglavnom imaju suglasne ocjene o potrebi i važnosti razvoja socijalnih vještina djece predškolske dobi, ponajprije njihove suradnje, samokontrole i asertivnosti. Nije utvrđena značajna razlika ni u procjenama odgojitelja i roditelja o mogućem ometajućem utjecaju eksternaliziranih i internaliziranih problema u ponašanju djece predškolske dobi na razvoj njihovih socijalnih vještina. Na temelju rezultata istraživanja, u radu se upućuje na potrebu provođenja odgojno-obrazovnog rada u dječjim vrtićima inovativnim odgojno-obrazovnim sustavima koji uključuju igru i druge aktivnosti djece temeljene na projektnom učenju u kojima su ona više uključena u svoj razvoj, odgoj i učenja, dok odnosima i djelovanjem u različitim životno-praktičnim situacijama u vrtiću, obitelji i društvenom okruženju ostvaruju koristi za sebe i razvijaju vlastite socijalne vještine.

Control integrado del ácaro Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata:Varroidae) con ácido oxálico en colmenas de abejas africanizadas en las condiciones tropicales de Costa Rica
Authors: Calderón-Fallas Rafael A. , Quiros-Vargas Orian , Ramírez-Arias Fernando , Sánchez-Chaves Luis A.
Published: December 2024

The effectiveness of oxalic acid in controlling the Varroa destructor mite was evaluated in the present study. The experiment was conducted in an apiary consisting of 16 Africanized honeybee (AHB) colonies in Atenas, Alajuela. The colonies were divided into four groups to apply the following oxalic acid treatments: 1) trickling method: the solution was applied to the top of the frames with a syringe; 2) towel method: a towel was placed on the frame; 3) impregnated cardboard method: four impregnated strips were used per colony; and 4) control group: no oxalic acid was applied. Treatments were administered in the brood chamber, and observations were made to determine any possible adverse effects. Flumethrin was subsequently administered as a shock treatment for five weeks. The most effective method for controlling Varroa was the towel treatment, which achieved 74.4% effectiveness, while the trickling and cardboard strip methods produced 63.0% and 50.0% effectiveness, respectively. The control group registered a natural mite fall of 34.1%. Based on the results, it can be concluded that oxalic acid demonstrated effectiveness in treating V. destructor in AHB colonies under tropical conditions. When comparing the application methods, the towel method was the most effective, followed by the trickling method, making these approaches viable alternatives in the integrated management of the Varroa mite. The concentrations of oxalic acid used in the study were safe for AHBs, as no evident adverse effects were observed on the colonies.

Ovaj članak razmatra hrvatski javni diskurs o uvođenju eura iz perspektive dvaju polja istraživanja antropologije novca i financija: uloge diskursa u toj sferi društvenog života i slojevite i raznolike prirode valute, uključujući euro kao primjer njezinih suvremenih transformacija. Studija taj diskurs ujedno situira i u političko-ekonomski kontekst nejednakosti valuta. Ključni je nalaz da su taj diskurs obilježili hegemonistički narativi koji su pridonijeli hegemoniji politike uvođenja eura, konkretno narativi o Hrvatskoj kao malom i otvorenom gospodarstvu, kao zemlji s inflatornom prošlošću i kao perifernoj zemlji koja se uvođenjem eura može priključiti centru.
Power Dynamics and Research Ethics in Sensitive Research
Authors: Šikić-Mićanović Lynette
Published: December 2024

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among people experiencing homelessness in Croatia, this article explores power dynamics between researchers and participants in sensitive research. This study shows that these power dynamics are continually shifting depending on researcher positionalities and field sites (shelter facility vs public spaces). In addition, this becomes more complex in interdisciplinary teams where members within an internal team power hierarchy have different positionalities and aspirations. This article also challenges the adequacy of procedural ethics and recommends ethics in practice or relational ethics, which is essential in qualitative research characterized by a discourse of immersion, reflexivity, and rapport.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. The article examines the results of the implementation of the profile summer camp session (shift) organized by the Russian Academy of Education and the National Children’s Center “Ocean” within the framework of the agreement on network interaction through the supplementary general educational development program “The Future in Science”. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features of forming self-awareness among participants of the “Future in Science” program in the conditions of a summer camp.
Materials and Methods. When developing the program “The Future in Science”, the authors focused on obtaining practical experience for learners in the field of research activities. During the implementation, entrance and final questionnaires were conducted among the learners. The survey was conducted among 33 students aged between 13 and 17 years old, enrolled in the profile 15th squad for the 10th session (shift) at the Russian Children’s Center “Ocean”. The initial questionnaire was designed to determine the interests, inclinations, scientific preferences and goals of the participants; the final one was intended to assess the results and effectiveness of its implementation. The data processing was carried out using the methods of percentage ratio, graphical representation and factorial method of questionnaire processing, which allowed to identify trends and problem areas.
Results. The results of the survey allowed us to obtain qualitative data on the dynamics of motivation and research activity of students. The results obtained confirm that specially organized conditions of subject-subject interaction contribute to the active development of participants’ self-awareness. It is revealed that the included interaction between teachers and learners activates the desire of the latter to get engaged in science. Owing to the organization of conditions for active self-reflection, the program participants realized their capabilities and their boundaries, forming an understanding of their claims to their personal trajectory of self-development, future profession, increased motivation to develop a sense of personality and civic identity.
Discussion and Conclusion. The conclusions drawn by the authors contribute to the development of scientific ideas about the patterns of age-related personality development. The materials of the article may be useful for researchers in the field of psychology of personality development, psychology of aging, psychological pedagogy, as well as for practitioners of the education system involved in the organization of specialized shifts for children and adolescents.
Political Thinking and Political Strategies of Youth
Authors: Shapovalova Inna  S. , Valieva Irina  N.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Formation of political culture of youth in conditions of complex geopolitical situation and multipolarity of political opinions and decisions becomes an urgent task for modern socialization institutions. The choice of the most effective directions and forms of organisation of this process is based on the understanding of the characteristics of political thinking of modern youth. The scientific problem of the article is to explore and identify indicators of characteristics of political thinking of modern youth and defining options of their transformation into life choices of political strategies. The purpose of the research is to assess the characteristics of political thinking and strategies of youth as a basis for forecasting the consequences of political reflection of youth.
Materials and Methods. The verification of the research model was based on data from the 2022 sociological study conducted by the International Centre for Sociological Research of the Belgorod State National Research University. The study was conducted using an online survey method and involved 4,215 people, regional youth aged 17–35, divided into age and status groups (students, graduates and working youth).
Results. As a scientific result, the characteristics of political thinking are identified and its possible deviations are called additional characteristics. The indicators of young people’s political thinking characteristics are verified, their main accentuations are established, types of dispositions of young people and life planning guidelines in relation to political strategies are considered.
Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the study and the analysis revealed problems associated with a risky combination of characteristics of political thinking (criticism and pessimism), which potentiate migration activity, marginalisation and anomie among young people; with the reproduction of inequality in the political socialisation of rural youth; with the unwillingness of the state to support politically ambitious youth. The results of the study contribute to the development of sectoral sociologies such as youth sociology and political sociology. The research materials may be requested by state youth policy management bodies at various levels, state and municipal government bodies, management bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, youth organisations and educational institutions.

A DEA-based Malmquist Productivity Index for Analysing University Performance and Competitiveness
Authors: Brintseva Olena
Published: December 2024

Objective: To conduct a comparative analysis of university performance and competitiveness for leading Polish and Ukrainian universities using the constant returns to scale (CRS) results-oriented model and DEA-based Malmquist productivity index.
Research Design & Methods: Using the CRS results-oriented model and DEA-based Malmquist productivity index, an assessment of the efficiency of Polish and Ukrainian higher education institutions in 2019–2021 has been carried out. Sources of data include reports from university rectors, international educational rankings and data from the SciVal Scopus database. The use of input and output indicators, which characterise the didactic and research activities of universities and affect their efficiency, has been justified. Input indicators are the number of university teachers, total university costs calculated per employee, total university costs calculated per student, and output indicators including the number of graduates, the annual number of employee publications in Scopus indexed journals, and the number of citations of employee publications according to SciVal Scopus.
Findings: First, the productivity of some Polish and Ukrainian universities differ, as do the factors of the growth of that productivity. Second, more reputable universities (including benchmarking units) have less potential for productivity growth than less productive regional universities. The relevance of the results obtained was guaranteed by the size of the group of universities analysed. That number was larger than the minimum for maintaining a sufficient number of degrees of freedom.
Implications / Recommendations: As a result of analysis with the application of performance-oriented CRS model and Malmquist index, it was found that large reputable universities have less potential for productivity growth (this applies to benchmarking units mainly in Poland). Ukrainian universities are not only more diversified in terms of indicator dynamics, but have greater reserves of productivity growth.
Contribution: The article contributes to the scientific literature on university performance and the evaluation of competitiveness. The use of the CRS model and Malmquist index in the analysis of university competitiveness enables better characterisation and evaluation of the input and output indicators, identify benchmarking units and productivity growth reserves.

HRM Practices in Internationalised SMEs and Their Sales Growth under Different Environmental Conditions
Authors: Purgał-Popiela Joanna
Published: December 2024

Objective: This paper explores the patterns of human resource management (HRM) adopted by internationalised small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their business outcomes with respect to changing external contingencies. More specifically, it examines the link between HRM and sales growth under two different conditions: the relatively stable pre-pandemic period and the highly uncertain first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research Design & Methods: Data stems from structured interviews with key decision-makers representing 200 Polish-based SMEs operating internationally. Methods of data analysis include k-means clustering, one-way and two-way mixed ANOVAs.
Findings: Cluster analysis revealed four distinctive patterns of HRM adopted by internationalised SMEs. The significant interaction effect suggests that with changing environmental conditions specific patterns of HRM adopted in these firms contributed to sales growth in different ways.
Implications / Recommendations: The study revealed that environmental shock can both dampen and enhance the contribution of HRM practices to sales growth in internationalised SMEs, depending on their initial mix and intensity of use.
Contribution: The study contributes to the development of a configurational perspective in HRM research within internationalised SMEs. It demonstrates that multiple pathways can lead to positive outcomes, although not all are equally effective, especially when exogenous factors change dramatically. Thus, it highlights the importance of the external environment in moderating the link between HRM and business performance in these firms.

Published: December 2024

Asymmetric rolling of aluminum alloys is one of the methods for improving their mechanical and performance characteristics. Kinematic asymmetry during rolling is achieved by varying the roll speed ratios (V1 /V2). It is believed that when V1 /V2 > 3, the process of asymmetric rolling, by combining significant compression and shear deformations, approximates the processes of severe plastic deformation. It has been found that the majority of studies are based on data obtained within a limited roll speed ratio range, V1 /V2 < 2, in asymmetric rolling. This article examines the effects observed at V1 /V2 = 1÷7.7. The implementation of this condition became possible thanks to a unique scientific facility – the 400 laboratory-industrial asymmetric rolling mill at the Zhilyaev laboratory “Mechanics of Gradient Nanomaterials” at Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University Experiments were conducted on asymmetric thin-sheet rolling of aluminum alloys 2024, 5083, and 6061, as well as accumulative roll bonding to produce laminated sheet aluminum composites 5083/2024, 5083/1070, and 6061/5083. The disadvantages of asymmetric rolling compared to symmetric rolling were identified: sample failure was observed at single relative reductions of 37 % for layered sheet aluminum composites (5083/2024) and 40 % for thin-sheet aluminum alloys (6061). The nuances of material preparation for processing were described, including the necessity of cleaning and degreasing the alloy surfaces before bonding into a composite. The rolling temperature regimes were selected, determining cold asymmetric thin-sheet rolling (room temperature processing) and warm asymmetric accumulative roll bonding (heating of the workpieces in the furnace before rolling at 320–350 °C). A reduction in rolling force (by a minimum of 1.3 times), the ability to vary hardness (including an increase by a minimum of 30 %), and technological plasticity with changes in the roll speed ratios within the range of 2 to 7.7 were demonstrated. Options were proposed for reducing the processing cycles of aluminum alloys without compromising the quality of the finished product by reducing the number of rolling passes and annealing steps in the standard process scheme.
Effect of annealing on the structure and properties formation of a copper alloy alloyed with palladium and silver
Authors: Novikova O. S. , Salamatov Yu. A. , Kostina A. E. , Volkov A. Yu.
Published: December 2024

A copper alloy with small additions of palladium and silver (Cu–1.5Pd–3Ag (at. %))—which has potential applications as a corrosionresistant conductor of weak electrical signals—was studied using X-ray diffraction analysis, microhardness measurements, specific electrical resistivity, and tensile mechanical properties tests. Samples were examined in several initial states: quenched (from 700 °C) and deformed at room and cryogenic temperatures (with a 90 % reduction in cross-sectional area in both cases). To study the processes of structural reorganization and property evolution, the initial samples were annealed in the temperature range from 150 to 450 °C (in 50 °C increments), followed by cooling in water or air. The duration of the heat treatments ranged from 1 to 48 hours. It was established that annealing the Cu–1.5Pd–3Ag alloy at temperatures below 450 °C leads to the precipitation of silver-based phase particles in the Cu matrix. Annealing of the initially quenched alloy was found to slightly increase its specific electrical resistivity (ρ) from 3.55·10–8 to 3.8·10–8 Ohm·m (after 48 h at 250 °C). It was revealed that alloying copper with 1.5 at. % palladium and 3 at. % silver enhances the strength properties (the yield strength of the alloy reaches 500 MPa) and raises the recrystallization temperature, while the electrical conductivity of the alloy remains around 50 % IACS. The optimal combination of properties (strength, ductility, and electrical conductivity) is observed after annealing the pre-cryodeformed alloy at 250 °C for less than 18 h. Extending the annealing time causes overaging, resulting in softening. The results of this study can be applied in the development of a new high-strength material with reduced electrical resistivity.

Armenians’ resettlement from Qajar Iran to the South Caucasus (1828–1830)
Authors:   Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Gezalova Nigyar R.
Published: December 2024

Due to the successful end of the Russo-Iranian war (1826–1828) and Russio-Turkish war (1828-1829), the Russian government began to encourage the resettlement of Armenians to newly obtained “Russian” lands in the South Caucasus. The Russian Empire’s policy was to force out the numerous local Turkish population with the help of the Christian minority (Armenians) as they considered the former unreliable. Resettling Armenians implied various political and economic purposes, but, ultimately, it overlapped with the desire to christianize the region, which was carried out not only for the sake of pure religion but also in order to increase the loyal population on the Muslimdominated frontiers. The geopolitical consideration, the expansion into Qajar Iran and Ottoman domains, was the important factor in this regard. Thus, Christians, mainly Armenians, living in Qajar Iran were given the right to get Russian citizenship. Numerous resettlement campaigns throughout the 19th century led to the radical transformation of the South Caucasus, especially the territory of Irevan and Karabakh khanates. Thus, demography was gradually turning into a political instrument. This policy implementation resulted in the mass resettlement of Armenians onto the South Caucasus lands within a very short period of time. So the ethnic composition of this area was inexorably changing in favor of Armenians due to the artificial increase of Armenians in the “Armenian oblast” together with squeezing local Azerbaijani Turks from the South Caucasus to Qajar Iran and Ottoman Turkey, which was performed by Russia. The following period also witnessed the resettlement of Armenians from Ottoman Turkey. With the conquest of the Russian Empire of the South Caucasus in the early 19th century, there emerged a new political situation. The policy of the Russian Empire aimed at creating a socio-ethnic support in the face of Armenians led to the strengthening of the Christian element in the South Caucasus. The essence of the disputes observed today, its roots go back to those times. Thus, the events mentioned above are considered to be the most important stage in the South Caucasus history, and it is these events that quite seriously changed the ethno-political map of the region.

Nowadays the study of language interaction within the discursive paradigm is gaining increasing popularity. Thus, a description of such types of discourse as political, media, advertising, etc. has been widely developed. A special area of research is devoted to works on the characteristics of academic discourse (including the foreign one) due to the fact that the processes of globalization, academic mobility of professors and students determine the increasing role of academic language as a means of accumulating and transmitting scientific experience. The article provides a linguodidactic characteristic of academic discourse. The aim of this study is to determine the degree of formation of mediation skills in postgraduate students of a multidisciplinary university while working with general scientific texts. The study was conducted at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University in 2023. The participants of the study were students in non-linguistic areas of training, N=67, with a language proficiency level of B2+ on the CEFR scale. To reach the aim, a test of 9 tasks was compiled. The tasks were developed based on the indicators of mediative competence presented in the CEFR for level B2 and included 6 general scientific texts in English on various topics (“Bird Migration”, “Petroleum Resources”, “Crows Count on ’Number Neurons’”, “Radon”, “Cave Art in Europe”, “Minerals and Plants”). The results of the study showed that only 10% of postgraduate students successfully completed all tasks. Students demonstrated the ability to summarize and convey significant information in a foreign language, structure text fragments, adapt and simplify source material, express their own point of view regarding what they read, and provide a high-quality translation without distorting the meaning of the source text. The majority of students – 60% – do not have the skills of mediating general scientific texts to a degree corresponding to their level of language proficiency. The key difficulties that students faced were related to the interpretation and generalization of semantic dominants of the source text (in particular those with metaphorical meaning) as well as to the correct lexical building of statements (the search for lexical substitutions and equivalents during translation) and to the analysis of the logical and structural organization of general scientific texts. This allows concluding that the formation of mediation skills should be of an intentional nature. Moreover, it should be based on a systematic and methodologically appropriate model of teaching foreign language academic discourse.
The manipulation phenomenon in the modern reality’s virtual space

In connection with the new technologies development, the information and communication space has become an open territory of virtual, augmented and mixed reality, where elements of the social structure, individuals, and groups interact, influencing patterns of consciousness and behavior. The problem discussed in this work is that, on the one
hand, thanks to virtual reality, a person forms, enriches, and fills their inner and information world, using various
opportunities for the development and expansion of the information field due to an avalanche of growing virtualization, but, on the other hand, virtual reality leads to the replacement of everyday reality, which, coupled with manipulative influence, entails a change in traditional spiritual values and a transformation of worldview. The article aims to identify the essence of manipulation in modern culture in conditions of increasing virtualization and potential “risk groups”, which can help predict the further development of society, allowing to minimize negative consequences. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a sociocultural approach, which made it possible to demonstrate a wide range of application of manipulative methods in various areas of social interaction in different cultures. Within the framework of this approach, it is substantiated that over time, manipulation changes its forms, improves methods, expands the range of technologies, and adapts to changing external conditions, but at the same time the social basis of manipulation remains unchanged, representing the possibility of exercising power. The work shows that, as a result of the emergence of virtual reality, manipulation moves to a qualitatively new level due to the colossal expansion of the boundaries of its application, degree of impact and unlimited use, transforming into a completely different management tool, which is not limited to the context of interpersonal interaction. It is shown that mass culture, due to its sensitivity, scale, simplicity of consumption, lack of ability to think critically, dependence on entertainment and emotional lability, is more susceptible to the influence of manipulative technologies spreading in the virtual environment. It is concluded that the youth subculture is less dependent on manipulative technologies and accompanying negative factors of virtual reality, since it accumulates the skills of selectivity, analysis, filtering, searching for reliable sources, forming an image of mistrust inherent in youth, mobility, and agility in the information environment. Representatives of the older generation who do not have a sufficient level of information and communication literacy are identified as the main risk group exposed to the influence of manipulative technologies in the virtual space.
Post-nonclassical science and social cognition
Authors:   Kurgan State University, Tsarev Roman Yu.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the problem of ways the principles of post-nonclassical scientific rationality influence the field of social cognition. It is established that this effect is complex and is produced within the framework of three aspects – ontological, epistemological, and praxeological. The ontological aspect consists in the orientation on a holistic consideration of the object of research: society as a complex, self-developing system; the implementation of the principles of a systematic approach; the construction of pluralistic ontologies emphasizing the diversity of social reality and multifactorial social dynamics and its vision from the standpoint of synergetics, which can be considered as a theoretical development of a systematic approach in relation to the type of systems of interest to post-nonclassical science. The epistemological aspect consists in a holistic attitude in the interpretation of knowledge, manifested in overcoming the dilemma of the natural science and humanitarian worldviews, the formation of transdisciplinary research programs, awareness of the theoretical burden of the empirical foundation of social cognition, the need to build theoretical models of social reality. The complex relationship between the subject and the object of social cognition, its axiological load, theoretical and methodological pluralism were realized even before the emergence of post-nonclassical science, but these aspects were comprehended at a new level of scientific rationality development, which indicates the growth of reflexivity of social cognition. There is a complication of its structure due to the formation of a meta-theoretical level, which performs a philosophical, methodological, and reflexive function. This level includes, firstly, philosophical components – ontological representations (holistic perception of reality), epistemological representations (integrity of knowledge, the principle of comprehensive analysis), axiological representations (the value of truth, a variety of values that can influence social cognition), and, secondly, general scientific components – a systematic approach, principles of cybernetics and synergetics, the probability theory. The praxeological aspect is expressed in the awareness of the complex relationship between social theory and social practice, which is due to the multidimensional nature of social reality and the impossibility of its unambiguous schematization, the emphasis on the moral responsibility of social scientists when analyzing both trends in the development of the social system and their involvement in social engineering, the blurring of boundaries between the development of knowledge and its practical application, which is embodied in a wide dissemination of expert social knowledge. As a result, it is concluded that shifts in the sphere of social ontology initiate a change in the epistemological principles of social cognition, which, in turn, causes a change in its praxeological attitudes.
The multipolar world and the determinants of organizing a citizen’s school education

The article discusses the results of a problem-based study of the civic education processes at school. The analysis of the Russian and foreign literature proves the necessity to change the paradigm of the Russian citizen formation and moving from civic education organisation to an interdisciplinary organised system for younger generations with the leading role of the school. This study considers civic education as a mechanism that allows influencing changes in social development based on political, economic and social ideas. Historical and pedagogical analysis demonstrated that the transformation of the civic education is taking place all over the world and is caused by the processes that have led to socio-political instability. The tendencies that have a significant influence on the change in the system of civic education are highlighted: (1) the influence of public representatives, formal and informal associations on transformation of the public perceptions of the social values; (2) the economy sector requirement to the education system changes; (3) coordination of the civic education by the state; (4) the dependence of ideas about a “good citizen” on historical and political changes in our country and in the world as a whole. ,It is clarified that in order to form civic competence, it is necessary to form ideas in the fields of political, socio-economic structure of the society, cultural and historical heritage. A comparative analysis of the civic education systems in the countries with centralised and decentralised systems of education is carried out. Russian civic education system is characterised by the educational processes regulation on the state level. Foreign practice shows that civic education can be implemented both on the interdisciplinary and independent bases. In order to obtain not only knowledge but practical skills, foreign systems of civic education use the social partnership resource and socio-public integration of educational institutions along with local state and public networks. The results of the study show that the system of civic education is a reflection of the state development that can be traced through forms, methods, approaches to the issues of the Russian citizen formation at schools. Contemporary civic education can be regarded as one of the mechanisms for addressing the social tension. In general, taking into consideration the multifaceted learning process at school, it is necessary to define civic education at the level of national idea.
