Lesiones mortales por armas traumáticas: reporte de caso
Authors: Caicedo-Holguín Isabella , Caicedo Yaset , Tascón Andrés , García Alberto
Published: November 2022

Introducción. Las armas de energía cinética son diseñadas para generar lesiones dolorosas y superficiales. Sin embargo, las lesiones asociadas causan confusión al ser abordadas como heridas por proyectil de arma de fuego, convirtiendo el enfoque y el manejo correcto en un desafío. El caso presentado describe un paciente herido en el cuello por arma traumática con el objetivo de analizar factores que permitan identificar este tipo de heridas y sus implicaciones en el manejo.
Caso clínico. Paciente masculino de 31 años que ingresó con intubación orotraqueal, remitido de una institución de nivel 2, con herida por aparente proyectil de arma de fuego con trayectoria transcervical. Se encontró hemodinámicamente estable, pero con dificultad para la valoración clínica, por lo que se realizaron exámenes complementarios que descartaron lesión aerodigestiva. La tomografía de cuello reportó proyectil alojado en musculatura paravertebral izquierda, descartando trayectoria transcervical.
Discusión. El comportamiento de las lesiones asociadas a los proyectiles de armas depende de varios factores, como el tipo de material del proyectil, su velocidad y las propiedades del tejido impactado. Se presentó un caso en que inicialmente se sospechaba una lesión transcervical, pero con la evaluación se identificó el proyectil cinético en la musculatura paravertebral.
Conclusión. En el abordaje de un paciente con sospecha de herida por proyectil de arma de fuego se debe considerar ante todo la respuesta clínica y la correlación del supuesto vector del proyectil con las lesiones sospechadas. La evaluación imagenológica permite identificar oportunamente los proyectiles y evitar procedimientos o terapias innecesarias que forman parte del manejo convencional del paciente con trauma penetrante.

Authors: Blanco-Avellaneda Camilo , Prieto-Ortiz Robin Germán
Published: November 2022

Introducción. El apéndice cecal invertido, inversión apendicular o intususcepción apendicular, corresponde a una condición anatómica descrita en 1859. La primera operación de invaginación apendicular se realizó en 1890, y desde entonces se han descrito diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas y endoscópicas para el tratamiento de esta alteración. Casos clínicos. Se presentan dos casos de pacientes a quienes se les indicó colonoscopia como parte de estudio de dolor abdominal y diarrea y se identificó una intususcepción apendicular completa y apendicitis y una inversión del muñón apendicular. Resultados. Mediante la colonoscopia se hizo el diagnóstico de apendicitis aguda en una de las pacientes, quien presentaba inversión apendicular completa tipo 5, que fue tratada con manejo farmacológico y seguimiento clínico. En la otra paciente hubo un hallazgo incidental de inversión del muñón apendicular tipo 3. Conclusiones. Durante la realización de estudios colonoscópicos, se debe tener en cuenta el diagnóstico de intususcepción apendicular o apéndice invertido, para evitar intervenciones erróneas, como polipectomías, que generen riesgo potencial en los pacientes.

EMPIRICAL STUDY OF MOTIVATIONAL COMPONENT OF SELF-EDUCATION OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS
Authors:   Zaporizhzhia National University, Shevchenko Nataliia , Mukomel Sofiia ,   Zaporizhzhia National University
Published: November 2022

The article highlights the results of an empirical study of the motivational component of self-education of future specialists. The data of studying the components of self-education motivation have been presented: motivation for achieving success, motivation of learning, the ability to self-education and self-actualization. The results of diagnostics of the motivational component of self-education have shown that motivation for achieving success, motivation of learning, the ability to self-education, and self-actualization are manifested in future specialists at a fairly high level. Diagnostics of motivation of learning has demonstrated a preference for the motives of "mastering the profession" and "acquiring knowledge". This indicates that future specialists have already decided their priorities, the choice of profession was conscious and they strive to acquire the necessary knowledge to become qualified specialists in the field of pedagogy. Research of the motivation for achieving success and fear of failure has shown that most students have a stable motivation for success. Obviously, master's students become more self-confident, know what they want and go for their goal. The study of the degree of self-actualization has displayed the advantage of a high degree of self-actualization of the respondents. This testifies to the desire of future specialists for the most complete identification and development of their personal capabilities. That is, master's students strive to realize themselves, to find the meaning of their existence, to become what they can become, and not what others force them to be. Diagnostics of the ability to self-education and self-development has revealed the advantage of a high level of manifestation of these qualities. This shows that future specialists are aware of the need to improve their potential and realize themselves as individuals, acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities. The results of the correlation analysis have made it possible to conclude that the ability to self-education does not have a significant dependence on the desire to master the profession and gain knowledge, but the ability to self-education determines the desire to achieve success and depends on self-actualization. Thus, the research hypothesis has been partially confirmed. A promising direction of future research concerns elaboration of psychodiagnostic methods for the study of the motivational component of self-education of future specialists; research of the dynamics of development of self-education motivation of future specialists in the process of training.
PSYCHOLOGY OF RESENTMENT OF UKRAINIANS
Authors:   the National School of Judges of Ukraine, Masliuk Andrii , Yevchenko Iryna ,   State Trade and Economic University
Published: November 2022

The development of Ukraine requires a new psychology of the winner. The path of inner work on the people's own psychological problems is difficult and painful, but it is the only way of renewal. The emphasis is on the negative psychological characteristics of the Ukrainian people: individualism; not submission; envy; not solidarity; apathy; the advantage of one's own interests over the common ones; emotionality; criticism, consumer psychology, etc. Vikonskaya's analysis reveals the deep foundations of the essence of the psyche of the Ukrainian people. Individualism, anarchist tendencies were formed under the influence of the boundless expanses of the steppe and are compensation for the long enslavement of other peoples. Power is perceived by Ukrainians with distrust, as something hostile and threatening, since the peasant has always experienced harassment from the pan. The materialism of peasant life, dependence on nature and one's own labor gave rise to apoliticality, the desire to live one's own life and indifference to common actions. Personal egoism is the result of long-term captivity, since the Ukrainian people, without their own state, were deprived of the skills for long-term unification, joint protection around the state ideology. For Ukrainians, the organization served as a voluntary association, which everyone could leave at their own discretion. A person is independent and independent in choosing his behavior and establishing relations with a particular community. The strong in spirit will overcome the path and reach the finish line - a European state where the law is above all. The weak will fall in a cruel world. We prove by deeds on the battlefield that we belong to the mighty of this world. Too high a price has been paid for the right to be called a Ukrainian. We must work hard to overcome the Ukrainian defective psychology. Only constructive criticism will be the key to overcoming the ressentiment in the psychology of Ukrainians, which hinders the consolidation and implementation of the idea of ​​Ukraine's revival and its entry into the European family.

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the processes of the establishment of political leadership in Tropical Africa - the region which like no other suffers from poor governance. The evolution of political leadership is traced from the emergence of a group of “founding fathers” of modern independent states in the 1950s-1960s until the advent of leaders of “democratic” regimes that replaced them.
Barista Diary: An autoethnography studying the operational experience of third-wave coffee shop baristas
Authors: Lee Kai Sean
Published: November 2022

This study explores the day-to-day operational intricacies of front line food and beverage employees. Situated in the third-wave coffee sector, the authors offer an evocative autoethnography about baristas’ operational experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using personal memory mining practices, observational fieldnotes, focus groups, interviews, and storytelling as a means for dramatic enactment, the authors present “Barista Diary,” a story about how baristas navigate the everyday tensions and complexities when working behind a coffee bar. Informed by Deweyan philosophy and contemporary hospitality literature, the authors reveal how baristas develop skills as habitual powers, manage operational chaos through aesthetic experience, and transform simple coffeemaking services into nourishments with hospitality merit. The authors depict that a barista’s job entails more than just making coffee, but a nexus of intricacies that often go undiscussed in academia and practice.

Beyond “Sea, Sun, and Fun”: Exploring the Viability of Jamaican Creole Heritage Language Education in Toronto
Authors: Tucker Shawna-Kaye D. , Murphy Victoria A.
Published: November 2022

Given heightened racial tensions as well as steadily increasing globalization and migration, the time is ripe to explore how space can be made for speakers of racialized vernaculars and languages through heritage language education. This study contributes to the limited research in this area by exploring the attitudes of individuals of Jamaican heritage in Toronto toward Jamaican Creole heritage language education and the implications of such attitudes for program offerings and design. By means of a survey and semi-structured interviews, findings showed that while valuing the language and its transmission, attitudes toward formal Jamaican Creole heritage language education were largely dismissive. Rather, greater value was placed on heritage and language education via social and community-based approaches. This study gives voice to the Jamaican community in Toronto and shows that a “one-size-fits-all approach” to heritage language education and transmission, particularly for stigmatized and non-standardized languages, is untenable.
The effects of instruction type on the pragmatic development of compliments and compliment responses in L2 English learners
Authors: GOKGOZ-KURT Burcu
Published: November 2022

Despite the wide array of previous research in the area of interventional pragmatics studies, the question of what type of instruction best promotes learners’ pragmatic interlanguage development has yet to be explored. With the aim of exploring L2 English learners’ speech act behavior in complimenting and compliment responding, the present study sought to determine the relative effects of inductive and deductive instruction using structured input activities within the framework of Processing Instruction. To accomplish this goal, three intact classes of the same proficiency level were randomly assigned to inductive instruction, deductive instruction, and a control group with no instruction. Data were collected through a written Discourse Completion Task followed by a Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Compliments and a multiple-choice Metapragmatic Assessment Questionnaire for compliment responses administered using a pre-, post-, and delayed post-test design. Findings revealed that both experimental groups showed improvement compared to the control group; however, the effects of instructional treatment varied across test types.

Authors:   Nizhyn Gogol State University, Filonenko O. , Demchenko N. , Samoilenko O.
Published: November 2022

Given the necessity to solve new socio-pedagogical problems of higher education, there is the need to improve the process of professional and pedagogical training for future teachers. The article analyzes the approaches of modern scientists to improvement and enhancement of practical training for higher education seekers, which can significantly increase the competitiveness of graduates in modern market conditions. Today there are strict requirements for the level of knowledge and skills of a higher education institution graduate and their ability to perform professional functions, which are largely formed in the process of practical training. It was investigated that scientists propose the development and implementation of an information system for forecasting and planning the labor market as well as studying the need for specialists in a particular field, so that higher education institutions could focus on the type of staff to train. It was noted that systematic cooperation with employers during the internship of students develops a strong relationship between higher education establishments and employers. It was concluded that modernization of practical training as an integral part of the future teacher training system requires changes both at the state level and at the level of higher education institutions. There are several topical aspects, namely creating a system of early adaptation of higher education seekers to the conditions of their future profession, ensuring permanent inclusion of students in various activities, monitoring the professional growth of a particular future teacher throughout the whole period of study, creating centres for practical training, facilitating the organization of practical training, promoting cooperation between heads of practice from university departments and heads of practice from basic institutions in order to create complex programs of practice.
HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL EDUCATION AND EDUCATIONAL BOOK IN GERMANY IN THE VII–XVIIІ CENTURIES
Authors:   Nizhyn Gogol State University, Martyniuk O.
Published: November 2022

The article considers the main stages of formation of school education in Germany in the VII–XVII centuries. There have been highlighted the historical aspects that formed the trends of its development and formed the basis of the modern education system. There has been analyzed a contribution of representatives of German philosophical thought and the influence of their ideas on the process of education and training of the individual. There has been revealed the role of socio-political and economic factors that shaped out the system of German school education in a certain historical period. The types of educational institutions that have been formed over the centuries have been characterized. Also there have been described some curricula, volumes and content of educational work of these institutions. There has been considered a development of printing and book publishing in Germany and the creation of textbooks, manuals and textbooks, in particular. An attempt has been made to find out how, in the 7th and 17th centuries, under the influence of objective circumstances, ideas about the purpose and appearance of school textbooks were formed. It is a well-known fact that the education system is an important factor in the national development of each country. It is formed over the centuries under the influence of many factors. In our opinion, the formation of education in Germany, where development took place under the influence of traditions, religious and humanistic ideas, is worth our interest. These factors have become the basis for the development of modern trends in education. It should be noted that Germany today is a decentralized democracy, which unites 16 federal states and has an extensive education system. In each state the Ministry of Culture is in charge of education. The new educational policy focuses on obtaining quality education by methods of stimulating independent work, selection of educational material, selective approach to the acquisition of knowledge, which promotes the development of logical thinking, intellectual abilities and education of the individual as a whole. There has been formed an extensive system of educational institutions, which takes into account all the needs of the individual and is a single structure from preschool to adult education. Its features have been formed over the centuries.
Distance learning in higher education: problems and benefits
Authors:   Nizhyn Gogol State University, Kovalenko S. , Gaviy V. , Pryplavko S. , Loban L.
Published: November 2022

The basis of socio-economic development of society is not material production, but the production of information and knowledge. Acquiring new knowledge and skills that are practically useful and applied in the work of the information society significantly expands opportunities for self-realization and promotes career growth. Information resources play a particularly important role in the organization of distance learning. Under such conditions, there is a constant search for more advanced forms of organization of the educational process. It is possible to implement distance learning technologies by developing a model of using virtual learning environments and distance learning platforms: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Classroom, ClassDojo, Padlet, etc. Due to this, non-traditional sources of information became available to students, the efficiency of independent work increased. They were able to study at a time convenient to them, in a familiar environment and at a relatively autonomous pace. Students have opportunities for creative self-expression, finding and consolidating various professional skills. Teachers have moved to a different format of teaching material, trying to create more interactive and interesting activities for students, implement new forms and methods of teaching, have the opportunity to give grades in ezines and leave comments on each submitted work. However, the distance learning system also has shortcomings. First, it is important to have direct contact with the applicant for successful correction of training and adequate assessment. In addition, it is impossible to accurately verify whether that person is working, performing a task, or whether someone else is doing it. In addition, not all localities have uninterrupted access to the Internet. And most importantly, in distance learning, direct contact between teacher and student is lost. At the same time, the distance education system is currently a promising form of higher education for Ukraine. It is this system that can most adequately and flexibly respond to the needs of society for the training of highly professional professionals, as it provides a high-tech approach to the process of knowledge transfer.
Cognitive outcome after left functional hemispherectomy on dominant hemisphere in patients with Rasmussen encephalitis: beyond the myth of aphasia. Patient series
Authors: Borne Anna , Perrone-Bertolotti Marcela , Jambaqué Isabelle , Castaignède Clémence , Dorfmüller Georg , Ferrand-Sorbets Sarah , Baciu Monica , Bulteau Christine
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Rasmussen encephalitis is a rare chronic neurological pathology frequently treated with functional hemispherectomy (or hemispherotomy). This surgical procedure frees patients of their severe epilepsy associated with the disease but may induce cognitive disorders and notably language alterations after disconnection of the left hemisphere.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe longitudinally 3 cases of female patients with Rasmussen encephalitis who underwent left hemispherotomy in childhood and benefited from a favorable cognitive outcome. In the first patient, the hemispherotomy occurred at a young age, and the recovery of language and cognitive abilities was rapid and efficient. The second patient benefited from the surgery later in childhood. In addition, she presented a reorganization of language and memory functions that seem to have been at the expense of nonverbal ones. The third patient was a teenager during surgery. She benefited from a more partial cognitive recovery with persistent disorders several years after the surgery.

LESSONS

Recovery of cognitive functions, including language, occurs after left hemispherotomy, even when performed late in childhood. Therefore, the surgery should be considered as early as possible to promote intercognitive reorganization.
Melanoma metastasis to the femoral nerve: a novel case of melanoma masquerading as mononeuropathy. Illustrative case
Authors: Guerrero Jaime R. , Taghlabi Khaled M. , Meyer Sara A. , Bhenderu Lokeshwar S. , Sadrameli Saeed S. , Shkedy Clive I. , Faraji Amir H. , Rostomily Robert C.
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Metastatic cancer may involve the central and peripheral nervous system, usually in the late stages of disease. At this point, most patients have been diagnosed and treated for widespread systemic disease. Rarely is the involvement of the peripheral nervous system the presenting manifestation of malignancy. One reason for this is a proposed “blood-nerve barrier” that renders the nerve sheath a relatively privileged site for metastases.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors presented a novel case of metastatic melanoma presenting as intractable leg pain and numbness. Further workup revealed concurrent disease in the brain and breast, prompting urgent treatment with radiation and targeted immunotherapy.

LESSONS

This case highlights the rare presentation of metastatic melanoma as a mononeuropathy. Although neurological complications of metastases tend to occur in later stages of disease after initial diagnosis and treatment, one must remember to consider malignancy in the initial differential diagnosis of mononeuropathy.
Myanmar’s Environment and Climate Change Challenges: International IDEA Policy Paper No. 27, November 2022
Authors: Hikey Sharon Pia , Maria-Sube Elodie
Published: November 2022

Myanmar is rich in natural resources and a global biodiversity hotspot. Myanmar is also one of the countries worst affected by climate change and one of the least equipped to improve its resilience without external support. How to manage natural resources has always been at the heart of Myanmar’s history and learning how to manage economic development sustainably became a central question of Myanmar’s democratic transition. Since the February coup, the people of Myanmar have been mobilizing against the military through protest and an armed resistance led by ‘People’s Defence Forces’ and ethnic resistance organizations. These groups of actors and their associated federal-level interim governance institutions are developing a political framework to negotiate both an interim constitution and a permanent constitution for the future Federal Democratic Union of Myanmar. This Policy Paper provides an overview of Myanmar’s environment- and climate-related governance challenges. It also identifies key considerations on how a future constitutional framework could guarantee environmental protection, protect biodiversity, promote access to justice and address climate change, informed by international good practices and comparative case studies.

Besides, Fault Injected Image Database which is created by CamFITool is introduced. In addition, the study guides to readers to create new datasets by injecting faults into existing image libraries or camera streams with CamFITool. As a result, CamFITool, an open-source fault injection tool, which is a critical tool for assessing of fault tolerant systems’ safety and security, is proposed. Also, a fault injected image dataset created by CamFITool for verification of camera-based perception studies in robotic systems is given.
EXPERIMENTAL INSIGHTS INTO INDUCED PARTIAL SATURATION METHODS DEVELOPED FOR LIQUEFACTION MITIGATION: DISTRIBUTION OF GAS BUBBLES
Authors: ZEYBEK Abdulhakim
Published: November 2022

Saturated deposits of sandy soils may liquefy during an earthquake event, causing detrimental effects on the site and structures. Mitigation of liquefaction-induced damage is of the essence when the structures are expected to exceed the acceptable limits of safety and serviceability. Induced Partial Saturation (IPS) has been recently proposed as a novel liquefaction countermeasure. In the present study, several laboratory tests were conducted on partially saturated sand models to offer insights into two IPS methods, paying more attention to the distribution of air/gas bubbles entrapped in pore spaces. For this purpose, loose deposits of partially saturated sand were prepared in transparent plexiglass boxes either injecting air or using a chemical substance. Digital images were recorded at different stages of the tests, which provided an opportunity to visualize the distribution of gas/air bubbles. Furthermore, moisture sensors were placed at different locations of sand models, allowing to capture the variation of the degree of saturation with time. Comprehensive analyses of the test data suggested that oxygen bubbles were generated through a reaction between water and chemical substance, and the distribution of oxygen bubbles was sufficiently uniform across the sand models. This method also allowed the preparation of sand models at the desired degrees of saturation. On the contrary, at 1-g injected air was observed to flow through a path of less resistance, and this technique was comparatively less successful in preparing sand models with uniformly distributed air bubbles and at lower degrees of saturation (i.e., below 90%).

Економічні суб’єкти досягають успіх у конкурентній боротьбі за рахунок інтеграції зусиль щодо просування цінності, що створює умови до зловживань збільшенням ринкової влади. З огляду на прагнення суспільства до додержання стійкості розвитку необхідним постає створення механізму управління корпоративною соціальною відповідальністю, який буде враховувати особливості інтеграційної взаємодії підприємств.

Метою дослідження постав розвиток теоретико-методичного забезпечення організації управління корпоративною соціальною відповідальністю інтеграційних структур бізнесу та розробка рекомендацій щодо імплементації відповідного механізму, який враховуватиме розбіжності ступеня формалізації відносин та взаємозалежності учасників взаємодії.

В основу розробок покладено концепцію створення інтегрованої цінності. Дослідження базується на застосуванні інструментарію моделювання корпоративної архітектури та використанні мови моделювання Archimate. За допомогою Archimate розкрито логіку формування інтеграційного механізму управління корпоративною соціальною відповідальністю бізнесу, в рамках якого відображено напрями розкриття соціальної відповідальності як одного з інтеграційних ефектів. Визначено рівні прояву такого інтеграційного ефекту під час інтеграції бізнесу та суспільства, різних видів бізнесу при інтеграційній взаємодії, прийнятих практик господарювання. Корпоративна соціальна відповідальність за такого підходу розглянута як засіб підтримки та синергетичного розширення окремих бізнес-спроможностей учасників інтеграційної взаємодії. Розроблено принципову схему зв’язку механізму управління корпоративною соціальною відповідальністю з механізмом управління корпоративним інтегрованим утворенням. Запропоновано схему покращення процесів формування та просування ціннісної пропозиції інтегрованого об’єднання підприємств через переорієнтацію на принципи ведення соціально відповідального бізнесу. Реалізована можливість застосування карти бізнес-можливостей інтегрованого об’єднання за для розвитку корпоративної соціальної відповідальності. Використано рольовий підхід для опису роботи механізму управління корпоративною соціальною відповідальністю.

Розроблені рекомендації щодо моделювання роботи запропонованого механізму управління дозволяють перетворити корпоративну соціальну відповідальність на додатковий фактор отримання конкурентних переваг та розвитку потенціалу інтегрованого об’єднання підприємств.

INTRODUCTION
Developmental dyslexia awareness is not high in societies. Although 5-17% of the population is thought to be dyslexic in every global society, only 0.05 % of the population gets a formal diagnosis in Turkey. The financial situation of families of children with dyslexia is not enough to get an early diagnosis and investigate intensive remedial opportunities. Mobile apps have been used to diagnose health conditions in recent years. Worldwide solutions for dyslexia do not exist as the solutions were language-dependent. We need an easily reachable, affordable, language-independent, and worldwide acceptable biomarker detection app for dyslexia at schools because it potentially helps to prevent severe consequences through an early diagnosis that helps provide early intervention. No other research assessed the feasibility and acceptability of using this mobile app to detect dyslexia at home or school. Here we present a dyslexia biomarker detection app based on Z-scored Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) data that can be used at home or school and has accomplished a high accuracy rate in diagnosing dyslexia. The mobile app can be used at home by parents or teachers at school.

METHODS
We have collected data from 207 children (96 of them have dyslexia, 111 of them are typically developing) between 7-10 years old for 40 sessions on average.  The data consists of the eyes-open resting state 2-minute QEEG data from 14 channels.

RESULTS
Using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) machine learning method, children with dyslexia/ typically developing children (TDC) classification has been done with a high accuracy rate (98.8%). ANN yields the highest accuracy results with standardized QEEG data in the literature. A survey is created to assess the dyslexia biomarker detection app’s feasibility, acceptability, and economic impact. The results have shown that the biomarker detection app is found feasible and acceptable by families, however, it is found expensive to use at home as it includes the costly electroencephalography (EEG) headset.

CONCLUSION
In order for this biomarker detection method to be used extensively at home, EEG headset prices should become more affordable or this dyslexia biomarker detection method can be used at schools.
The Asymmetric Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Crude Oil-stock Markets Nexus in KSA: Evidence from a NARDL Model
Authors: Gheraia Zouheyr
Published: November 2022

This paper estimates the asymmetric relationship between the crude oil market, stock market and COVID-19 pandemic in the case of KSA during the period of 15/03/2020 to 03/02/2021. Nonlinear and long-run asymmetric cointegration were utilized for comprehensive research on this topic. Our findings are as follows: positive and negative shocks to the COVID-19 pandemic reduce stock market. Moreover, positive shock to crude oil market increases stock market, but negative shock has a negative and insignificant effect. Based on the results, this study concludes with suitable policy prescription.
The Effects of Rule of Law, Regulatory Quality, and Renewable Energy on CO2 Emissions in South Asia

Published: November 2022

Governance can help in regulating the environmental quality of any economy. Hence, the present study explores the effects of rule of law and regulatory quality on the CO2 emissions in four South Asian economies from 1996-2019, controlling renewable energy and income level in the model. The results corroborate the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in the long-run analysis of four South Asian economies but renewable energy could not affect the CO2 emissions. Moreover, regulatory quality helps reduce CO2 emissions and shows the technique and/or composition effects in these economies. However, the rule of law has a pre-dominant scale effect in these economies and increases CO2 emissions. Based on the results, we recommend South Asian countries to strengthen the regulatory quality to support a clean environment. Moreover, rule of law needs attention and modifications to have pleasant environmental effects.

The purpose of this research was to examine the dynamics of volatility spillover between energy and environmental, social, and sustainable indices. COVID19 prompted the research to select April 2019 to March 2022 as a sample period, and the respective data (Daily Prices) of the Nifty Energy and Nifty ESG indices were obtained from the National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The outcomes of the study confirmed that the daily returns of Nifty Energy and Nifty 100 ESG indices were not normally distributed and reached stationarity at level difference. Further, the study employed GARCH Models such as ARCH, GARCH (1,1), and GARCH-M to determine conditional volatility, and it validated the ARCH influence on the daily returns of the Nifty Energy and Nifty 100 ESG, during the study period
On the Newen’s Person Model Theory
Authors: Ponomarev A. I. , Frolov K. G.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. Strategies for understanding another person, which play an important role in social interactions, are focused on recognizing the mental states of the person who is under consideration. These various strategies require a general theoretical conceptualization. One of attempts of this kind of conceptualization is carried out by A. Neven's person model theory. This theory is a subject of our investigation and the aim of this study is to critically analyze A. Neven's person model theory and demonstrate its advantages and disadvantages in comparison with other approaches.

Methodology and sources. A. Neven's approach is compared with three competing approaches: folk psychology theory, A. Goldman's simulation theory, and S. Gallagher's interaction theory. Conceptual analysis shows that these theories face a number of serious difficulties, which are discussed in article.

Results and discussion. Based on our analysis, we conclude that none of these three theories can be accepted as universal. At the same time, A. Newen's person model theory suggests a multiple strategy for understanding another person and seeks to incorporate the merits of other theories. Thus, the main advantage of this approach is that it allows us to consider the process of understanding another person not as a predetermined one, but as a variable dynamic process. 

Conclusion. This approach allows considering as a person not only an adult, but also a collective of people, as well as artificial intelligence, which has a great importance for the further improvement of moral practices. At the same time, the person model theory is not devoid of weaknesses; however, when overcoming them, it is able to present the most complete mechanism for understanding the personality
Slow Science and Slow Education in a Digitalized University: an Anthropopractic Approach
Authors: Gorbunova Yu. A. , Boronikhina I. O.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The slow movement in universities is a reaction to the economic-centricity and commodification of higher education and science, the standardization and quantifiability of research and educational activities, the expansion of digital technologies` use in the generation and assimilation of knowledge, the imposition of the cult of speed on the academic and student communities. Rapid knowledge practices are becoming a trend in the context of digitalization of higher education. At the same time, the slow movement in Russian universities remains marginal and poorly institutionalized. The article analyzes the philosophical concepts that underlie the slow movement in universities and substantiates the importance of an anthropopractical approach to the study of slow science and slow education.

Methodology and sources. The technocratic approach to the digitalization of higher education contributes to the spread of high-speed science and learning practices based on the reduction of knowledge to information, the growth of knowledge – to extension and cumulation, the cognitive motivation – to competition, greed and ambition. Turning to an anthropopractic approach allows us to overcome this reductionism. Slow science and slow education as anthropological practices are based on the desire of subjects of cognition for dialogue, reflection, improvisation and creative self-realization, self-organization and autodesign, intellectual enjoyment, sustainable, ecological coexistence. Digital technologies are only driving tools for this practice.

Results and discussion. Slow practices in education and science are considered in this article, firstly, as an antithesis to the practices of posthumanism and futuro design, overcoming imperfect human nature and movement towards a posthuman with the help of nano-, bio-, information, cognitive and social technologies. Secondly, slow science and slow education as anthropological practices are opposed to managerial practices that form educational environments hostile to a person, the characteristic features of which are competition and hierarchy in the system “effective – ineffective”, “winners – losers”, “successful – catching up – lagging behind”. 

Conclusion. The authors see the optimal scenario for the transfer of slow practices to the sphere of higher education in Russia in achieving a balance between pragmatism, a shortterm policy and effectivenes, and a reflective position that ensures an anthropological orientation and sustainable development of modern universities.
