Why Do You Want to Be a Teacher? A Natural Language Processing Approach
Authors: Bartanen Brendan , Kwok Andrew , Avitabile Andrew , Kim Brian Heseung
Published: September 2024

Heightened concerns about the health of the teaching profession highlight the importance of studying the early teacher pipeline. This exploratory, descriptive article examines preservice teachers’ expressed motivation for pursuing a teaching career. Using data from a large teacher education program in Texas, we use a natural language processing algorithm to categorize into topical groups roughly 2,800 essay responses to the prompt, “Explain why you decided to become a teacher.” We identify 10 topics that largely reflect altruistic and intrinsic (although not extrinsic) reasons for teaching. The frequency of topics varied substantially by preservice teacher gender, race/ethnicity, and certification area. Intrinsic enjoyment of teaching and experiences with adversity predicted higher clinical teaching performance and lower attrition as a full-time teacher.
When group appeals backfire: explaining the asymmetric effects of place-based appeals
Authors: Haffert Lukas , Palmtag Tabea , Schraff Dominik
Published: September 2024

Group-based identities are an important basis of political competition. Parties appeal consciously to specific social groups and these group-based appeals often improve the evaluation of parties and candidates. Studying place-based appeals, we advance the understanding of this strategy by distinguishing between dominant and subordinate social groups. Using two survey experiments in Germany and England, we show that group appeals improve candidate evaluation among subordinate (rural) voters. By contrast, appeals to the dominant (urban) group trigger a negative reaction. While urban citizens’ weaker local identities and lower place-based resentment partly explain this asymmetry, they mainly dislike group-based appeals because of their antagonistic nature. If the same policies are framed as benefiting urban and rural dwellers alike, candidate evaluation improves. Thus, people on the dominant side of a group divide reject a framing of politics as antagonistically structured by this divide, even if they identify with the dominant group.
The Institutionalization of Legal Ethics in South Africa: The Double Movement of Profession and Higher Education
Authors: Klaaren Jonathan
Published: September 2024

This chapter investigates how legal ethics have been institutionalized in South Africa. The account given spans from the post-apartheid heyday of the 1990s to 2018 through to the present day. 2018 was the year in which the Legal Practice Act 28 of 2014 was finally brought into more or less full effect (even if not institutionally implemented) – aiming to put the governance and institutions of South Africa’s legal profession onto a new legal foundation. This chapter’s focus is thus on institutionalization of legal ethics as part of and subsequent to the transition from apartheid to South Africa’s current constitutional democracy. Legal ethics develops as a regulatory field and a research topic in different ways in different regimes. In South Africa, key actors in the post-apartheid development include the law deans (not directly subject to the profession) and the leaders of the profession in practice, in particular those from the sub-field of attorneys. Since the transition to constitutional democracy, a dialectical process has played out between legal education and the organized legal profession over the prominence and place of legal ethics. Tied up with a slow pace of institutionalization, neither sub-field has demonstrated much change on the ground and this double movement shows little sign of abating.
Connecting HRM Scholarship and HR Analytics: The Benchmark Predictivity Approach
Authors: Yuan Shuai , Li Mengwei , Kroon Brigitte , Van Deun Katrijn
Published: September 2024

The aim of this paper is to address the research-practice gap between HRM scholarship and HR analytics in organisations, catalysed by distinct preferences for explanatory and predictive paradigms in either domain. While HRM scholars mostly favour the explanatory paradigm to conduct theory-driven empirical investigation, HR analysts value the predictive paradigm to identify factors of actual predictive relevance for intervention and change. To bridge this gap, we introduce the benchmark predictivity approach to compare the predictive accuracy of models developed in HRM scholarship. Through systematic comparison of predictive accuracies of models grounded in scholarly knowledge, this approach estimates the predictivity of different factors for practical decision-making and provides a critical yet often overlooked evaluation of theoretical propositions in terms of their practical utility. This paper explains the benchmark predictivity approach and offers stepwise instructions along with a practical demonstration using a case study on voluntary employee turnover. The results indicate that some antecedents of voluntary turnover, recognized under the explanatory paradigm, did not predict actual voluntary turnover in the future, suggesting that their practical utility in mitigating voluntary turnover should be approached with caution. The proposed benchmark predictivity approach encourages a closer integration between HR scholarship and evidence-based HR practice.
Do psychological problems accumulate in cities; a quantile regression approach in a large UK sample
Authors: Finnemann Adam , Freichel René , van der Maas Han , Borsboom Denny , Wiers Reinout
Published: September 2024

The rich get richer and the poor face poverty in cities. Inspired by this economic accumulation, we study if domains of psychological well-being also accumulate across six psychological dimensions in cities. According to accumulation theory, we expect the most pronounced urban-rural disparities in the extremes of a total well-being distribution. We test this using quantile regression on a sample of 39,000 UK residents aged 40 to 70. Using a continuous and objective measure of urbanicity, we examined urban-rural differences through non-linear statistical models. We find evidence for UK urban residents accumulating psychological problems meaning the psychologically worst off face additional disadvantages in cities. We also observe a smaller general shift in total satisfaction meaning everyone is expected to do worse in cities. Lastly, we observe optimal distances between highly urban and rural areas for the central quantiles, 10% to 90%. In contrast, the unhappiest and happiest 10% show a healthy monotonic association with increasing distance from city centers.
External Factors Impacting the Operational Efficiency of Small and Medium Enterprises in the Downstream Petroleum Sector: Insights from Emerging Economies
Authors: Mtshweni Harry , Costa King
Published: September 2024

The downstream petroleum sector plays a critical role in the economic development of emerging economies by providing energy, employment, and opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, various external factors, including regulatory frameworks, market volatility, and technological advancements, significantly impact the operational efficiency of SMEs in this sector. This paper explores how these external challenges affect SMEs, particularly those owned by Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDIs), in the petroleum industries of emerging markets. Focusing on the South African context, the paper examines global and African perspectives on operational efficiency, with case studies from Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya. It highlights the importance of infrastructure development, local capacity building, and regulatory reforms in enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, technological advancements such as automation and data analytics are explored as potential tools for improving SMEs’ performance. The paper concludes by offering practical recommendations for overcoming these challenges, including streamlining regulatory processes, promoting technological adoption, and fostering inclusive business models. By addressing these external factors, SMEs in the downstream petroleum sector can improve their competitiveness, contribute to economic transformation, and meet the growing energy demands of emerging economies.

Encouraging Crossover Voting in the 2024 Presidential Primary
Authors: Markovits Daniel Benenson , Cohen Hayley
Published: September 2024

Will voters participate in the primary of a party they oppose to prevent the nomination of a candidate they fear? Partnering with a Political Action Committee, we conduct a first-of-its-kind, large, preregistered field experiment (N = 83,800) in the 2024 Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire. A specialized get-out-the-vote intervention increases turnout in the Republican primary among undeclared voters who are modeled as likely to vote for Democratic candidates in general elections. Our treatment increased Republican primary turnout in this sample by 1.6 percentage points while reducing turnout in the Democratic Primary by 0.5 percentage points. Supplementing our experiment with surveys before and after the primary, we estimate that each vote cast by Democratic-leaning voters in the Republican primary produced a net of 0.75 votes for the relatively moderate Republican primary candidate. We argue that encouragements to crossover vote are an important avenue for bolstering sophisticated, pro-democracy behavior.
Profiling Misinformation Susceptibility

Published: September 2024

The spread of misinformation has become a global problem. But who falls for it? In this study, 66,242 individuals from 24 countries completed the Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST) and indicated their self-perceived misinformation discernment ability. Multilevel modelling showed that Generation Z, non-male, less educated, and more conservative individuals were more vulnerable to misinformation. Furthermore, individuals' confidence in detecting misinformation was associated with better actual discernment ability. Whereas women were especially accurate in assessing their own ability, extreme conservatives’ perceived ability showed little to no relation to their actual misinformation discernment. Meanwhile, despite performing worst, across all generations, Gen Z perceived their misinformation discernment ability most accurately. Taken together, our analyses provide the first systematic and holistic profile of misinformation susceptibility.
Recycling Rivalry: Utilizing Social Identity to Enhance Pro-Environmental Behavior in Public Settings
Authors: Landsvik Hege , Martuza Jareef , Skard Siv , Pedersen Lars Jacob Tynes , Jørgensen Sveinung
Published: September 2024

Drawing on group identities in public settings, this study investigates how social identity and group-level social comparison can be utilized to promote pro-environmental behavior (PEB). In a season-long field experiment at a Norwegian Premier Division stadium, visiting supporters from 14 different football clubs (N = 5,712), were exposed to interventions encouraging recycling. Our findings show that combining an ingroup appeal with group-level social comparison nearly tripled recycling rates. A follow-up survey experiment (N = 1,813) among the same population showed that the effectiveness of the ingroup-based appeals was partly driven by supporters’ motivation to contribute to their ingroup’s success in the pro-environmental task. Two additional survey experiments with UK Premier League supporters (combined N = 2,044) confirmed the superiority of ingroup appeals, especially when paired with group-level social comparison, explained by the desire to contribute to group goals. These findings demonstrate that leveraging group identities and social competition can drive PEB in public settings, offering practical strategies to encourage pro-environmental actions among large groups.
Global Finance: changing practices, actors, and geographies
Authors: Fichtner Jan , Petry Johannes
Published: September 2024

Global finance can be seen as a complex international network of portfolio investments, loans and financial transactions shaped by various private but also by public actors. The vast profit-seeking activities of private financial actors influence capital flows, market stability, and the allocation of financial resources have an impact on corporations, markets, and governments worldwide. In other words, global finance is not a ‘neutral’ tool for price-discovery or a ‘pass-through’ segment that merely provides capital to its most efficient use in the real economy – global finance is much more than that, it is about (re)shaping politico-economic power relations in the contemporary international political economy.Before the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, private commercial and investment banks arguably constituted the core of global finance and exerted an outsized influence. However, the crisis initiated a shift in the power distribution and actors’ constellations within global finance. This new era was arguably marked by a relative decline of big banking groups – and the concomitant rise of large asset management firms (e.g., BlackRock) and other emerging influential actors such as index providers (e.g., MSCI). In parallel, the traditional center of gravity of global finance, which revolved around the axis between New York and London, was complemented and also partly challenged by the ascent of new actors such as sovereign wealth funds and financial markets from the Global South, above all China. These new actors often follow a somewhat different logic than the frequently short-term oriented and primarily profit-driven financial market actors from the Anglo-American core, since they are often permeated by government interests and consequently aimed at incorporating long-term strategic goals.
Gleaning Rural Journalism: Rural Journalists' Agricultural and Environmental Reporting Utilizing Community Storytelling Networks
Authors: Walsh Jessica Fargen , Perreault Mildred F , Perreault Gregory P , Mari Ruth Moon
Published: September 2024

Environmental concerns are growing in parts of the rural United States as drinking water wells become contaminated with agrichemicals, and climate change impacts such as drought and extreme rain events disrupt farming practices. Analyzing in-depth interviews with 29 U.S. rural journalists, we explore the role rural journalists play when reporting on the environment as it relates to agricultural issues. Findings show that reporting about the environment—such as weather, climate change, water shortages, and droughts—appear in rural journalists' stories given those topics' relevance to their rural communities and the social systems forces exerting influence on journalists, yet rural journalists often do not perceive themselves as doing environmental reporting. Rural journalists also report lacking training and resources to do environmental reporting. This study points to the need for more support for rural journalists' environmental reporting as one way to build social change and maintain local community.

Published: September 2024

Uterine leiomyoma is one of the common gynecological benign tumors. It is usually observed in female of reproductive age group and often presented with symptoms like abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea and fertility disorders. Hysterectomy and myomectomy are the procedure for management of uterine leiomyoma. The prime objective of our study was to evaluate the demographic distribution and clinicopathological changes in hysterectomy and myomectomy specimens with leiomyomas. A descriptive hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital (NMCTH), Nepal from May 2023 to October 2023. A total of 57 uterine leiomyoma samples received in the department of Pathology for histopathological examination were included in the study. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from Institutional Review Committee of NMCTH and informed consent was taken from each patient. The tissue biopsies were routinely processed and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H and E). The observed findings were managed in MS Excel sheet and later analyzed using SPSS 17. The most common age group diagnosed with uterine leiomyoma was 41 to 50 years (64.9%). The leiomyomas were highly prevalent in women from Janajati community (47.4%). Pelvic pain, menorrhagia and bleeding disorders were the most frequent clinical manifestations. Intramural was the commonest site (77.2%) and the hyalinization was the most usual secondary changes (19.2%) found. The correlation between age distribution and site of leiomyoma, age distribution and secondary changes and site of leiomyoma and secondary changes were statistically not significant. However, detailed histopathological examination gives many information related to leiomyoma and it is necessary for the effective management.

Published: September 2024

Ultrasonography (USG) is modality of choice for normal, diffuse or nodular thyroid diseases. Two dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) is the latest innovation in USG techniques that allows real-time quantitative assessment of tissue stiffness using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) induced by ultrafast focused US beam sequence (up to 20,000Hz) to record the propagation of the shear waves in real time and displays a map that represents the local elasticity values of tissues in real-time and in a quantitative manner without any compression of the organ. At times, there are difficulties in differentiating normal thyroid gland from diffuse thyroid disease based solely on gray scale USG for which 2D-SWE can be an adjunct. This study aims to establish 2D-SWE parameters for normal thyroid gland in Nepalese population. A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out with 2D SWE on all euthyroid patients with normal thyroid gland on B-mode USG at Department of Radiology, Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital between December 2021 and November 2022. Tissue stiffness of normal thyroid gland was recorded and tabulated in terms of SMV units (m/s) according age and gender. Out of 100 subjects ( 52 females and 48 males) the youngest was 16 year female and oldest was 68 year female with mean age of 37.07 year (S.D = 11.58). Minimum mean velocity of 1.78 m/s was seen in 36 year old male and maximum of 3.40 m/s in 26 year old female. Mean of mean velocity was 2.36 m/s with (S.D= 0.34). Linear positive correlation was seen between shear wave velocities and age with no statistically significant difference between genders. This study had the most number of normal subjects (100) with almost equal gender distribution (52 females and 48 males) compared to previous studies in known literature. This study also analyzed correlation of shear wave velocity with age unlike other studies. Statistically significant correlation was seen between age and velocities in males only and also in mean velocities between age group 21-40 and 41-60 years (p-value= 0.037).
Transforming Educator Growth: Professional Development at Tribhuvan University
Authors: Ram Nath Neupane
Published: September 2024

Professional development is an inevitable facet of our life. The study aimed to explore the teachers’ professional development at Tribhuvan University. To achieve the objective, I used explanatory sequential design under mixed-methods research. The data were collected from 30 teachers of a constituent campus of TU using a set of questionnaires as a research tool. The findings reveal that more than 55% teachers strongly agreed with the importance of academic degrees for better classroom performance. Less than half of them were satisfied with their reading, and writing position. Similarly, many teachers (93%) were not satisfied with their research position. More than 90% teachers have published general articles, but only 10% teachers published their academic books. Many teachers come to the classroom with full preparation; they talk to their colleagues about their issues and professional pursuits, support one another in taking professional actions, and insist on taking professional actions with the campus administration. Different strategies such as reading and writing, achieving a higher degree, doing action and mini-research, writing articles and books, attending workshops and seminars, networking, and self-monitoring are the key strategies for their professional development. The present study can be equally beneficial not only to university teachers but also for to the teachers who wish to develop their teaching career in one hand and writers, researchers and trainers on the other.
Historia z morskim brzegiem. O pseudobiografii Brunona Schulza w powieści Dawida Grosmana „Patrz pod: Miłość”
Authors: Tarnowska Beata
Published: September 2024

Artykuł Historia z morskim brzegiem. O pseudobiografii Brunona Schulza w powieści Dawida Grosmana „Patrz pod: Miłość” jest komparatystyczną analizą ważnego wątku zawartego w pochodzącej z 1986 roku powieści izraelskiego pisarza Dawida Grosmana. Grosman przedstawia w swym utworze alternatywną wersję biografii Brunona Schulza, fakty biograficzne mieszając z oniryzmem. Bruno ucieka bowiem z drohobyckiego getta, jedzie do Gdańska i w morzu ulega transformacji w niższą formę bytu: zachowując ludzką tożsamość, staje się łososiem. Realizuje tym samym jedną z reguł Schulzowskiej ontologii, wedle której „wędrówka form jest istotą życia”. Punkt kulminacyjny powieści stanowi dialog bohatera-narratora i alter ego autora – Szlomy Neumanna – z Brunonem, który w głębinach morza przechowuje swoje nieznane dzieło Mesjasz. Szloma chce poznać sens Schulzowskiej „genialnej epoki” i związanej z tym pojęciem, kabalistycznej z ducha koncepcji progresywno-regresywnego ruchu ku przyszłości (czasom mesjaszowym), tożsamej z powrotem do mitycznego prapoczątku oraz wymazaniem ludzkiej historii. Porozumienie artystów niweczy Szloma, który – obciążony traumą Holocaustu – nie jest w stanie odrzucić pamięci. Otrzymuje jednakże od Schulza wskazówkę dotyczącą pisania powieści o Zagładzie: nie śmierć, ale miłość powinna być jej tematem. Powieść Grosmana, będąca hołdem złożonym drohobyckiemu artyście, jest przykładem oryginalnego odczytania jego dzieła i zarazem kontynuacji pojawiających się w nim motywów i tematów.
Autobiograficzna gra. O „Rozmowach w tańcu" Agnieszki Osieckiej
Authors: Hanik Katarzyna
Published: September 2024

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie nowej perspektywy czytania tekstów autobiograficznych na przykładzie autobiografii Agnieszki Osieckiej pt. Rozmowy w tańcu. W opracowaniu pokazano, iż niebywale istotne dla współczesnego literaturoznawstwa, a zwłaszcza dla badań nad autobiografią, jest spojrzenie na teksty poprzez pojęcie tabu. Kontekstem refleksji jest „autobiograficzny wywiad autorki z samą sobą”. Zaprezentowana analiza koncentruje się na zastosowanej przez poetkę formie dialogu ze swoim alter ego jako na strategii gry z tabu. Wybrana przez Osiecką strategia narracyjna pozwala jej na poruszanie się w obrębie wielu kontrowersyjnych tematów oraz na stworzenie pozorów szczerości i transparentności, przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu pełnej kontroli nad swoją opowieścią. Z kolei umiejętne operowanie zarówno słowem, jak i formą umożliwia jej mówienie o kwestiach trudnych w taki sposób, by pozostać w zgodzie z własnymi granicami, a zarazem sprostać oczekiwaniom czytelników, dzięki obraniu ciekawej, innej formy, która nie stawia przed pisarką jasnych wyznaczników gatunkowych (a co za tym idzie nie generuje konkretnych oczekiwań odbiorców). Ostatecznie artykuł pokazuje, iż gra z tabu prowadzi do powstawania nowych strategii narracyjnych, które niejednokrotnie stanowią o wartości danego tekstu autobiograficznego. Opracowanie mieści się w obrębie literaturoznawstwa i krytyki literackiej.
Livestock and forest production
Authors: Bussoni Guitart Adriana Teresa , Álvarez Jorge , Ferreira Gustavo
Published: September 2024

Silvopastoral systems can become a development tool, being a form of production where livestock and forestry activities are integrated in the same space. Although forestry activity in Uruguay has evolved steadily with foreign investment, integration with livestock activity has been gradual; the productive and economic aspects and the forms of integration have been scarcely studied. The study of the best forms of integration in the same space can improve competitiveness aspects of both areas. Based on the 2011 agricultural census, a grouping is made that results in four livestock groups and three forestry groups. The use of resources and the productive and social structure are contrasted. Livestock farms forest 21% of the area, with different productive strategies. In a second work, a long-term multi-criteria decision model is structured, taking into account the preferences of a sample of livestock producers. This results in three production and environmental models with results based on the goals to prioritize. When livestock production is prioritized, the best returns from this activity are obtained with the worst results in the environmental goal of carbon balance. The environmental criterion must be considered at higher hierarchical levels in order to achieve positive balance values. This also allows quantifying distances to obtain integrated and sustainable production models. Proposed models and their results can contribute to the quantification of the productive and environmental conflicts and to understanding the advantages and disadvantages of the different integration models, in long term. The future comprehensive development of both activities depends on the knowledge generated about improving the competitiveness of integrated productions. Therefore, this study attempts a contribution that allows identifying and evaluating the different integration models.
Collective action and social capital in family livestock in uruguay
Authors: Courdin Máximo Virginia , Sabourin Eric Pierre , Rossi Virginia
Published: September 2024

Although the image of dispersed farms and isolated producers prevails over traditional Uruguayan livestock, in the case of family livestock, collective action is a frequent practice and constitutes the economic basis for their permanence and reproduction. The economic, political and social transformations of the 21st century, framed in progressive governments (2005-2019), launched a series of policies that promoted forms of collective action from a vision of integral rural development. This research seeks to contribute to the understanding of the collective action processes of family livestock producers on the North Coast of Uruguay. It proposes to apply Elinor Ostrom's analytical approach to coordination of collective action based on three modes: delegation of power, rule management and learning. The methodology follows three stages that combined different types of information gathering and analysis techniques. The results show the existence in the region of at least 50 groups of family ranchers, which were characterized and represent four categories or types (Integral, Economic, Basic and Productive). Regardless of the type, in all groups the processes of coordination of collective action differ in the degree of maturity reached according to the trajectories traveled. Some show an endogenous process of collective action that reflects a greater involvement of producers, more sustainable organizational processes and greater returns for the rural community and the territory. In others, this process is exogenous, encouraged by public policies, the construction of common objectives being more expensive and social interaction processes difficult. However, in all of them it is evident that the processes of formalization or institutionalization of groups legitimize, in a new context, practices anchored in the lifestyles of family ranchers such as mutual aid or shared management of assets. They are reciprocal practices and relationships that strengthen social capital and, in particular, trust and solidarity, and make it possible to overcome conflicts and crises of collective action. The three modes of coordination of collective action also depend on the social capital of individuals (network of inter-knowledge, educational and political resources, leadership capacity) and the capacity to strengthen collective social capital.
Low Temperature Direct Current Plasma Nitriding of Ferritic Stainless Steel with Metal Screen
Authors: Kishimoto Ojiro , Nishimoto Akio
Published: September 2024

Surface modification involves the chemical or physical impartation of enhanced functionality to the surface of materials, and has become increasingly important in recent years. Nitriding is a surface modification method that hardens the surface of metallic materials by causing nitrogen to permeate and diffuse into the surface to form various nitrides or by supersaturating a solid solution of nitrogen in the metal. This is effective in improving the hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Plasma nitriding, a type of nitriding process, has several advantages, such as low energy consumption, short processing time, and low environmental impact. In contrast, the conventional plasma nitriding method forms plasma on the surface of the treated material, which may cause phenomena that lead to defects in the treated material. Therefore, the directcurrent plasma nitriding with screen (S-DCPN) method reduces these problems because plasma is formed not only on the treated material but also on the surface of the screen. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance; however, nitriding treatment above a certain temperature reduces the corrosion resistance owing to chromium nitride precipitation. In this study, the S-DCPN treatment, a type of plasma nitriding method, was applied to form a thick nitrided layer without reducing corrosion resistance. The S-DCPN treatment was performed using ferritic stainless steel SUS430 as the sample and austenitic stainless steel SUS304 as the screen material at treatment temperatures of 633 and 653 K, treatment times of 5 and 15 h, a gas pressure of 200 Pa, and a gas composition of 75% N2 - 25% H2. Consequently, the αN phase with supersaturated nitrogen solid solution was identified under all conditions. Nitrogen diffusion and hardness increased with increasing treatment temperature and time. In the corrosion tests, corrosion resistance improved under all conditions.

Conclusiones: Las conclusiones que se presentan han de ser necesariamente propositivas con el objetivo claro de contribuir a paliar sesgos innecesarios.
Female sexism and religion linking to value and cultural norms
Authors: Yumas Gabriella Mutiara
Published: September 2024

Instances of sexism, a widespread manifestation of gender bias, frequently lead to the belief that one gender is superior or inferior. This is evident through attitudes, behaviors, and institutional procedures that support gender hierarchies and sustain unequal treatment. The entertainment sector, by virtue of its extensive impact, intensifies these biases by molding public attitudes towards women. Through the lens of Glick and Fiske's ambivalent sexism theory, this study investigates the sexism Kim Kardashian encounters on social media sites, namely Instagram, by analyzing both hostile and benevolent sexism. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the recurring victimization of the Kardashian family based on sexist ideologies. This study uses a qualitative research approach, specifically case study approaches, to investigate the phenomenon of sexism encountered by Kim Kardashian. Investigators will collect data using interviews, questionnaires, live observations, and a comprehensive review of relevant papers, journals, and prior studies. The main objective of this study is to gather data from social media platforms, focusing specifically on evaluating commentary that exhibits sexism, hate speech, patriarchy, misogyny, discrimination, and related subjects on Kim Kardashian's Instagram account. Through the lens of The Ambivalent Sexism Theory, this study reveals that Kim Kardashian evokes both angry and pleasant sexist behavior in Instagram comments.

Authors: Apalkova T. G. , Kosorukov O. A. , Mishchenko A. V. , Tsurkov V. I.
Published: September 2024

This paper proposes optimization models for the production and financial activities of an enterprise, which make it possible to increase the efficiency of its functioning in the modern market environment. The novelty of the proposed tools is due to taking into account the peculiarities of the processes of consumption and storage of finished products, as well as lending and expansion of production. To implement the proposed models, the generalized reduced gradient method is used, built into the MS Excel toolkit (the “Solver” add-on). Solving problems of choosing a production program is also possible using other methods of this add-on, including the simplex method.

The political theater of August 1917: stage and backstage
Authors: Solovyov Kirill А.
Published: September 2024

Analyzing the monograph by A.B. Nikolaev "The State Conference of 1917: convocation, composition, activity", the author raises the question of the nature of the emerging political system of Russia in 1917, about its internal contradictions, which contributed to the holding of crowded forums, the establishment of new collegial authorities. In fact, there is a significant discrepancy between the institutional design of power and the categorical language of its description, between the social experience of those who tried to determine the political agenda, and the agenda itself, the popular slogans of that time. For this reason, the course of the Moscow State Conference, which became the subject of A.B. Nikolaev's close attention, is very indicative for understanding the political players of that time: they did not fully represent the "game" in which they participated. Moreover, they were unable to determine its rules.
Marxism and Class-Based Analysis in the Body of Knowledge: The Scientometric Analysis and Research Agenda
Authors: Ansar Muhammad Chaeroel
Published: September 2024

This study provides a comprehensive scientometric analysis to examine the incorporation and impact of Marxist theory and class-based analysis within the broader academic knowledge base. By utilizing Scientometric data from renowned scientific databases covering the last seventy years, we can pinpoint important patterns, notable authors, essential publications, subject groups, and relevant keywords relating to Marxism and class analysis. These findings show increasing interest in the topic, especially after the 2000s. This analysis emphasizes the importance of theoretical study and the working class as topics that often appear in recent research. Additionally, we analyze the distribution of research output and country collaborations, observing substantial clustering in the Americas and the United Kingdom. Despite increasing interest in this topic, our analysis reveals gaps in existing research, namely in the practical implementation and integration of different disciplines. Based on these observations, we suggest a study plan that prioritizes the need for more detailed empirical investigation, examination of social class dynamics in non-Western settings, and the incorporation of Marxist analysis into current topics such as globalization and the working class. This agenda aims to increase the significance and practicality of class-based analysis in understanding contemporary socio-economic phenomena.

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengaruh abusive supervision, stres kerja, kelelahan emosional, dan cyberloafing terhadap kinerja pegawai di Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) Sumatera Selatan. Tujuan utama penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara abusive supervision dengan stres kerja, kelelahan emosional, cyberloafing, serta dampaknya terhadap kinerja pegawai. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 72 pegawai ASN di BPS Sumatera Selatan yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa abusive supervision secara signifikan mempengaruhi stres kerja dan kelelahan emosional, tetapi tidak berpengaruh langsung terhadap cyberloafing. Stres kerja dan kelelahan emosional terbukti berpengaruh signifikan terhadap cyberloafing, yang pada gilirannya berdampak negatif terhadap kinerja pegawai. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan penting mengenai bagaimana abusive supervision dapat memicu stres dan kelelahan emosional yang mengarah pada peningkatan cyberloafing dan penurunan kinerja pegawai. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan dalam merumuskan strategi manajerial untuk mengurangi dampak negatif abusive supervision dan meningkatkan kinerja pegawai di lingkungan kerja.
