Authors: KARACA Adem , KILCAN Bahadır
Published: July 2023

It is known that recent studies on artificial intelligence technologies have been handled by different branches of science. One of the mentioned branches of science is education. The rapid increase in the production of artificial intelligence studies in the field of education in recent years attracts the attention of researchers. In this context, the purpose of the present study was to analyze the bibliometric aspects of journal publications on artificial intelligence technology in educational research. The R-Studio tool was used to examine the data set, which was collected from the Web of Science database. The only index fields allowed for articles are SSCI, SCI-Expanded, and ESCI. According to the results of the study, the journal articles on artificial intelligence technologies have appeared to have significantly increased in recent years. The United States, China, and Spain are the most prolific nations in this regard. Despite being among the ten most productive nations, Türkiye and Russia are among those that do not collaborate internationally. It has been found that journal articles on artificial intelligence give a lot of attention to subjects like dropout, chatbot, language learning, student involvement and performance, e-learning, and collaborative learning. We hope that this research will give academics who desire to study artificial intelligence technologies a general overview.

Religious beliefs play a significant role including brand preference by adapting symbolic associations to motivate better engagement, which reflects the audience's personal behavioral dimension (values and beliefs) in marketing activities. However, religiosity's role in the development of a brand image by religious visual communication design is rarely discussed, even though there are emotional connections in the marketing activities. This study’s objective is to understand how culture, specifically religiosity, could affect the brand image through local ads’ appeal. Five different brands from outdoor advertisements were selected as a case study for this research. A qualitative study was employed to obtain an in-depth appreciation in sociological context. Thus, seven informants of expertise participated using semi-structured interviews as the data collection tool and continued with thematic analysis assisted by Atlas.ti in identifying patterns across the collected datasets. Three main themes were discovered which are; commodification, halalness and trustworthiness. Religiosity is said to be positively affected by religious visual communication design in ads. These emotional strategies in marketing easily gain attention from their values, which are later translated into trustworthiness which is called commodification. Religious cues in ads are easily associated as the products’ brand image even though some are considered as misled. A fine line between marketing and religion needs to be drawn by the marketers or advertisers to avoid exaggeration and becoming a norm in marketing. Keywords: Advertisement, brand image, Islamic ads, religiosity, visual communication.

Published: July 2023

Food security that occurs in Malang City occurs because the population in Malang City is large with the availability of a narrow area so that problems arise in the form of increasing food needs every year and decreasing food production capabilities in the form of rice. In 2020 Malang City has a population of 843,810 people and an area of 145.3 km2 with a density level in Malang City of approximately 7,949 people/km2. The high demand for food in Malang City is not accompanied by a qualified regional production due to the conversion of land into housing. In doing this calculation using projections to determine the growth and population in the city of Malang, and to determine the need for rice using a spectrum application so that the results of the need and availability of rice in the city of Malang can be seen from year to year. The results were that Malang City experienced a large rice deficit due to the high demand of its residents, in 2020 the rice deficit reached 40,243 tons of rice and the city of Malang only produced 6,740 tons of rice for production within its territory. Therefore, Malang City needs rice support from the surrounding area which has a very large rice production, namely from the districts around Malang.

Ketahanan pangan yang terjadi di Kota Malang terjadi karena penduduk di Kota Malang yang banyak dengan ketersediaan wilayah yang sempit sehingga munculnya masalah berupa kebutuhan pangan yang meningkat pada tiap tahunnya dan menurunya kemampuan pemenuhan produksi pangan berupa beras. Pada tahun 2020 Kota Malang memiliki penduduk 843.810 jiwa dan luas wilayah 145,3 km2 dengan tingkat kepadatan di Kota Malang kurang lebih mencapai 7.949 jiwa/km2. Kebutuhan pangan di Kota Malang yang tinggi ini tidak dibarengi dengan produksi wilayah yang mumpuni karena alih fungsi lahan menjadi perumahan. Dalam melakukan perhitungan ini menggunakan proyeksi untuk mengetahui pertumbuhan serta jumlah penduduk di Kota Malang, dan untuk mengetahui kebutuhan beras menggunakan aplikasi spectrum sehingga dapat dilihat hasil kebutuhan dan ketersediaan beras di Kota Malang dari tahun ke tahun. Didapatkan hasil berupa Kota Malang mengalami defisit beras yang besar karena kebutuhan yang tinggi dari penduduknya, di tahun 2020 defisit beras mencapai 40.243 ton beras dan kota Malang hanya memproduksi sebesar 6.740 ton beras saja untuk produksi dalam wilayahnya. Oleh sebab itu Kota Malang membutuhkan sokongan beras dari wilayah sekitarnya yang memiliki produksi beras yang sangat besar yakni dari kabupaten-kabupaten di sekitar Malang.

Del aspecto emancipatorio al aspecto relacional de la libertad en la comunidad política: Un diálogo entre Michel Foucault y Robert Spaemann
Authors: González Hincapié Viviana
Published: July 2023

La discusión en torno a los distintos conceptos de libertad sigue constituyendo un tema de interés central para la teoría política. Las implicaciones que de estos conceptos se derivan resultan del todo relevantes de cara a la concepción de la persona y a la configuración de la vida en común. A partir de un análisis del concepto de libertad planteado por Foucault en su conocido ensayo El sujeto y el poder, este artículo indaga cuáles son las implicaciones de una consideración emancipatoria de libertad como la que estaría presente en algunas de las obras del pensador francés en términos de resistencia y liberación. Asimismo, se explora la consideración relacional de persona propuesta por el filósofo alemán contemporáneo Robert Spaemann, a fin de plantear, en diálogo con la tradición aristotélica, una discusión con la concepción foucaultiana de la libertad y sus implicaciones para la comunidad política. En las conclusiones se destaca que una libertad plenamente humana no puede definirse exclusivamente desde el aspecto negativo de la emancipación, sino que ella incluye el aspecto afirmativo de reconocimiento del otro como un bien en sí mismo que, en cuanto contenido definitorio del amor de amistad, habría de estar presente de algún modo en los fundamentos de la comunidad política.

Social disorientation of budget support for investment projects
Authors: Maximov V. V.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: of the study is to identify factors that hinder budget support for investment projects aimed at combating poverty due to the deprivation of economically accessible social infrastructure (deprivation poverty).Methods: the work used traditional methods of scientific analysis, as well as an interdisciplinary approach characteristic of the study of social well-being problems in the context of the availability of social benefits created by social infrastructure facilities. The research is based on the application of social goal-setting documents, methodological documents regulating investment activities and budget support, Rosstat data, EIS «Procurement», EMISS, GIS «Electronic Budget».Results: the identification of factors of social well-being was carried out and the justification of the level of deprivation poverty in relation to the available social infrastructure was carried out. The necessity of independent regulation of the market of the poor suffering from such deprivations is confirmed. Based on the analysis of methodological tools for assessing the feasibility of budgetary support for investment projects in social infrastructure, methodological problems have been identified and the inapplicability of the existing approach for the market under study have been proved. Proposals are formulated to change approaches to calculating the budgetary efficiency of investment projects aimed at the infrastructural development of social industries.Conclusions and Relevance: a growing number of the deprived poor are suffering from a lack of supply of economically accessible social infrastructure and services. The study shows that the involvement of private investment in the creation of such facilities, taking into account the need for non-market pricing, will require changes in the methodological approach of the state to budget support for investment projects. It is necessary to abandon the percentage and return principles and replace them with compensatory ones for servicing vulnerable categories. The social development of the country should be based on the social well-being of all segments of the population, without extreme gaps among them. For sustainable development, flexible methodological tools are needed, based on the dependence of the amount of budget support on the number of social effects generated by the project.
Transformations of the sectoral structure of the region as a response to the dynamics of international trade during the pandemic
Authors: Vasin S. M. , Gamidullaeva L. A.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: is to identify patterns in the regional industrial structure dynamics in response to the changing nature and volume of the region's export-import operations due to the sudden impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: general scientific methods were used: the method of monitoring changes in the socio-economic system during the COVID-19 pandemic; the description method, including a system for collecting and presenting data; the analysis method for identifying and studying stages of the process of socio-economic system transformation in the context of their changes under the influence of epidemiological factors. In addition, special methods of grouping, collecting and economic-statistical analysis of data, Gatev coefficient method for calculating structural shifts, and others are used.Results: firstly, it was determined that the most stable sectoral structure during the pandemic was presented by subjects with a high bilateral economic openness (a high level of both export and import quotas). In most of the subjects of the group, the sectoral structure changed slightly both in the first and in the second year of the pandemic. Secondly, subjects with a higher level of imports were characterized by greater stability of the sectoral structure during the pandemic: despite the higher level of dynamics of the sectoral structure, the differences over the years are not high. Thirdly, it was found that the subjects with a low level of import quotas, regardless of the level of export quotas, were the least stable sectoral structure during the pandemic: the sectoral structure of the subjects was significantly transformed.Conclusions and Relevance: to increase the resilience of the regional economy to unpredictable shocks, it is necessary to expand exportimport contacts with a long-term increase in international trade, strengthen and stabilize existing trade relations with foreign organizations along the lines of regional strengths, and it is also necessary to strengthen the position of regional production in domestic consumption.
Indicators of crisis development and financial behavior of subjects of the global economic system in crisis periods
Authors: Romashkina G. F. , Skripnuk D. F. , Andrianov K. V.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: is to form evaluative indicators of crises based on the analysis of financial behavior of subjects of the global economic system during various crisis periods.Methods: quantitative and qualitative analysis of the crises’ periodization, according to evaluative indicators calculated on the World Bank data; retrospective, comparative analysis of the financial behavior of subjects of the global economic system were used. Results: evaluative indicators of crises are formed. Methods and approaches to the study of crises are systematized based on the analysis of the financial behavior of subjects of the global economic system in crisis periods. It is shown that the state of the balance of payments can be among the evaluative indicators of crises. The spikes of the oil prices can also anticipate a crisis. The gold rises in price during and immediately after crisis, serving as a reserve currency. In this time, there is a decrease in the scale of variation in the growth rates of indicators of money supply, companies’ market capitalization and domestic credit.Conclusions and Relevance: the identified evaluative indicators can act as a system of leading indicators of crisis processes, in conditions of an increase in the global economy volume and the intensifying instability of the global financial system. It is shown that the financial sector of the world economy is increasingly detached from the real sector. The financial sector and state institutions, using various risk reduction tools, transfer risks to the global economic system, which leads to the development of new rules of financial behavior of the subjects of the global economic system in crisis periods. It is proposed to consider the leading indicators of crisis processes as a system that can form the basic factors of financial behavior of subjects of the global economic system in crisis periods, determining the directions of stability of the world economic system. The strengthening of the influence of new technologies, including advanced information and communication technologies, in the context of expanding the diversity of models and systems of interaction of individual agents and institutional systems can both act as an unconditional engine of economic development and provokes the strongest crises in the global economic system.

Authors: Vladimirova I. G. , Polevaya E. V.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: to present and justify a methodical approach to assessing the level of adaptability of organizational management structures to the conditions of a dynamically changing external environment.Methods: a wide range of general scientific methods is used – system analysis, synthesis, graphical interpretation of data. During the study, the method of expert assessments was used to assess the level of adaptability. In order to classify the types of management structures depending on their adaptability, a cluster analysis was carried out.Results: the article presents an approach to the definition of the concepts of "adaptation" and "adaptability" in relation to management structures. In order to develop a methodical approach to assessing the level of adaptability of organizational structures, the types of their adaptation were systematized, the main characteristics of the structures were identified and the scale was developed to assess the level of their adaptability. The use of the expert method made it possible to assess the level of adaptability of the main types of organizational structures to the conditions of a changing business space and rank them depending on this level. As a result of the cluster analysis, all the studied types of management structures were classified depending on their adaptability.Conclusions and Relevance: the developed methodical approach to assessing the level of adaptability of management structures made it possible to determine the adaptive properties of both hierarchical and organic management structures, assess their level of adaptability and identify the most adaptive among them. It has been established that the basis for the successful development of companies in the conditions of turbulent business space is the use of organic structures or changing individual parameters of hierarchical structures in order to increase their adaptability. Adaptation can be carried out using any structure, both traditional hierarchical and organic, by forming new management structures or increasing the adaptability of existing ones. Further research in this area should be devoted to the development of an effective mechanism for adapting management structures to the conditions of a changing business space.

Authors: Dovlatova G. P. , Karashchenko V. V.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: is to identify regional points of economic growth and innovative development of the Rostov region on the basis of a spatial analysis of socio-economic indicators.Methods: classical research methods were used in the work, such as synthesis and analysis, dynamic method, system-structural method, comparative analysis, scoring method. The study also used specific applied methods: spatial analysis, geoinformation monitoring, rating assessment of innovation activity. The essence of the author's approach is that in order to identify the points of growth of regional development, two conditions must be fulfilled simultaneously: 1) conducting a spatial analysis of groups of indicators with an emphasis on innovative indicators, 2) applying an integrated approach to the consideration of economic, social and demographic (migration) indicators reflecting the specifics of the regional economy.Results: the points of growth of the region's economy and innovative development of regional organizations are identified. The features of achieving uniformity of the economies of single-industry towns (former mining towns) are revealed. Blocks of potential resources for the functioning of regional growth points are grouped based on the analysis of innovative indicators.Conclusions and Relevance: spatial analysis makes it possible to identify regional growth points with a core on innovative indicators. The transition of the Rostov region to the strongest group of innovators can be carried out through the identified growth points for the following types of activities: agriculture, transportation and storage, construction. As a result of the activation of growth points, there will be a positive transformation of the structure of the regional economy. The evaluation of strategic programs for the development of territories revealed the need for their timely adjustment for the purpose of socio-economic development of the region.

Authors: Taş Emre , Güngör Şahin
Published: July 2023

Energy consumption based on the building heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems is sharply rising daily. At this point, heat recovery ventilation systems save energy while contributing to indoor air quality and thermal comfort. This work mainly focuses on designing the air-to-air cross-flow heat exchanger system and duct lines. First, the ducts, bends, vents, and heat recovery ventilation unit are placed around the selected domain complying with the ASHRAE 55 and 62.1 standards. The requirements on temperature levels of the cold and hot streams, air flow rates, number of vents, velocity at the supply air vent outlets are considered. Then, calculations are conducted for the cross-flow air-to-air heat exchanger to determine the number of layers, heat transfer surface areas, flow regime, and heat transfer rate. Thermal calculations of the recuperator system are initially performed by effectiveness-number of transfer unit (ϵ-NTU) method as the outlet temperatures are not known at the beginning of the design. In addition, the findings are compared and validated via logarithmic mean temperature difference methodology. The results show that the fresh air temperature can increase from 5 °C to 13.32 °C when the exhaust air temperature is at 26 °C in winter. Furthermore, the heat transfer rate of air-to-air heat exchanger system is analytically calculated as 1806.7 W and 1807.5 W via ϵ-NTU and logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) methods, respectively.

Authors: Kabir Foqoruddin Al , Bari Estiaque
Published: July 2023

Tourism has become one of the fastest-growing industries in South Asia, contributing to a variety of development goals such as income generation, poverty reduction, employment, foreign currency earnings, and better living standards. On the other hand, financial development (FD) accelerates the growth of developing sectors by providing necessary access to finance. Therefore, this study explores the mechanism of resource transmission from FD to the tourism industry in selected South Asian countries, India, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. The second-generation cross-section augmented unit root tests CIPS and CADF confirm the stationarity property of the variables. LM bootstrap and Durbin-Hausman cointegration tests find the long-run association among the variables. The D-H panel causality test reveals bi-directional causality between financial development and the tourism industry. The long-run cointegrating factor for financial development is found to be positive (1.03, 1.25, and 0.89 respectively) and significant in the PDOLS, PMG-ARDL, and Cup-FMOLS estimations. The results indicate that financial development enhances the tourism industry development supporting tourism-led led growth hypothesis. The study also recommends policy measures that will help to shape the policy implication for this region.

Authors: Kirillov German M. , Pitaikin Kirill Yu.
Published: July 2023

The formation of full-fledged relationships in business are built in a certain coordinate system, which are based on value attitudes and the basic principles of morality and ethics. Islamic states, which have a thousand-year history and carefully protect the religious foundations of their society, have brought a lot of moral values and attitudes to the formation of Muslim business ethics. The purpose of the study is to identify the influence of the values of the Islamic religion on the economic behavior of economic entities. Tasks: to identify the principles of the formation of an ethical code of doing business among Muslims; de-termine the conceptual foundations for the formation of the Islamic economy and the banking sector; identify points of interaction in the philosophy of communications of Islamic, Orthodox, Catholic business; clarify the factors influencing the preservation of the construct of moral values of Islam in interaction in a multinational global world. Methodology. In the modern world, almost any problem has many aspects and can be considered from different points of view. The application of philosophical and methodological analysis is of particular importance when an interdisciplinary problem is being studied. For the purposes of our study, a dialectical method of cognition was applied, based on the principles of objectivity, the study of specific data, the unity of historical and logical, the unity of opposites, the transition of quantitative changes into qualitative ones, as well as the principle of preserving progressive changes in a new qualitative state, etc. The results of the research can be used in the process of building a business in cooperation with Muslim partners, which will allow a better understanding of the motives for making managerial decisions on the part of Islamic business, and building long-term partnerships with Islamic banks. In the Russian Federation, the number of traditionally Muslim peoples is more than 10% of the population, and in the immediate foreign policy and foreign economic environment of Russia there are a large number of Muslim countries. Recently, the vector of foreign policy and foreign economic interaction of our state has significantly shifted towards the eastern direction, including Muslim countries.
Role of the European Union and Turkey in the Energy and Transport Policies of the Western Balkans (2014-2021)
Authors: Islamov Damir R.
Published: July 2023

Since the Berlin Process was launched in 2014, as part of which the “Western Balkans Summits” have been held, the EU has been promoting an agenda for the regional infrastructure integration (Connectivity Agenda) with its member states in the energy and transport sectors. More than €1 billion was subsequently allocated to 45 projects in these sectors. At the same time, two major gas projects, the TurkStream and the Southern Gas Corridor, were launched in 2015/2016, turning Turkey into one of the largest gas transit countries for Europe, including for the Balkans. In addition, “to solve the problem of dependence on Russian gas”, the EU actively supported the Southern Gas Corridor with a leg to the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) via Greece, Albania and Italy, which would make it possible to obtain Azerbaijani gas. This situation encouraged the leaders of the Western Balkans to develop closer personal ties with President R. Erdoğan in advance. And since 2020, after the launch of the TurkStream and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline, Turkey began to hold itself out as a reliable intermediary for gas deliveries to Central and South Eastern Europe. Consequently, the aim of the paper is to examine the impact of the EU and Turkey on the energy security and transport policies of the Western Balkans.
Enhancement of the Catalytic Activity of Lithium Amide towards Ammonia Decomposition by Addition of Transition Metals
Authors: Brooker-Davis Caitlin , Makepeace Joshua , Wood Thomas
Published: July 2023

The catalytic decomposition of ammonia to hydrogen is a vital process in the use of ammonia as a zero-carbon energy store. However, the viability of current catalyst systems in terms of operating conditions, versatility, and cost efficiency has proven an issue. Catalytic and gravimetric studies were conducted considering mechanistic uncertainty surrounding the enhanced catalytic activity reported for lithium amide and imide composited with transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe). Gas flow in excess of ammonia decomposition was quantified and used to differentiate the extent of formation of non-stoichiometric lithium imide amide from other competing processes. This analysis showed the initial compositional transition from lithium amide to an imide-rich phase was reduced in temperature by compositing with Mn and Cr, but not with Fe. The system is, therefore, best considered as promoted lithium imide, with Cr and Mn acting to reduce the formation temperature of the active imide-rich phase such that the catalytic activity is enhanced.
Statistical Analysis of the Technological Processes Downtime Distribution in Manufacturing Prototypes of Devices on the Example of a Radio Assembly Shop
Authors: Paliy V.I. , Vantsov S.V.
Published: July 2023

The paper substantiates relevance of reducing downtime as an integral part of the enterprise profitability and competitiveness in modern economic conditions. Downtime of the pilot production, which is one of the main stages of the innovation process at the industrial enterprise, was analyzed. Problems of management, organization and planning in pilot production were revealed. Main stages of the devices manufacturing prototypes were considered. A new characteristic feature of pilot production was revealed, i.e., random production equipment downtime associated with errors in design of the products and preparation of technical documentation for their manufacture. Characteristics of random production equipment downtime was studied, which made it possible to prove their Poisson properties. Specific factors of downtime characterizing only the processes of creating the device prototypes were determined. Relationship between specific factors and general downtime was studied to find the factor most significant in terms of the amount of losses. Presence of such a factor leads to revision of existing and formation of fundamentally new approaches in creating technological chains in production of the experimental or prototype samples. Pilot production as part of the most instruments manufacturing enterprises determines high practical significance of the analysis performed

La casona de los patios (novela coreana)
Authors: Kim Won-il
Published: July 2023

La gran casona, escenario de la novela, es la síntesis de otra casa más grande: Corea. Los espacios de la casona están divididos marcadamente. El primer espacio es la vivienda de una señora caída en desgracia pero que tiene parentesco con la dueña de la casa. Es la anunciadora y portera, la que da la bienvenida y despedida a los propietarios. La señora de Kimchon es una pobre viuda que sobrevive vendiendo panecillos que ella misma prepara. Es la encargada de abrir y cerrar el gran zaguán. El segundo espacio corresponde al patio bajo donde hay cuatro habitaciones pequeñas, un baño común, un caño y una aeequia de aguas servidas que también es un problema común. En cada habitación vive una familia, no importa de cuantos miembros, pero todos caben en esos reducidos espacios. Cada cuartucho es cocina, dormitorio y taller. Es el antro que cobija a los pobres inquilinos, los protege de las inclemencias naturales y les da una relativa intimidad. Los ocupantes de las habitaciones son: Primera habitación: la Señora de Kyonggui y sus hijos Junggyu y Mison. Segunda habitación: el Veterano, su esposa y el hijo Chunjo. Terecera habitación: la Señora de Pyongyang y sus hijos Chongte, Sunjua y Chongmin. Cuartas habitación: la Costurera y sus hijos Kilnam, Solye, Kilsu y Poksul. · El tercer espacio, el más alto topográficamente, está en el interior. Es la vivenda de los dueños. Es una mansión muy distinta, pues tiene un servicio higiénico moderno, limpio y privado; una cocina, sala grande y dormitorios totalmente separados. Allí se combina la modernidad (muebles, calefactor portátil y tocadiscos que emite la música estadounidense de moda) y la tradición (la abuela con sus dichos y costumbres). Allí viven la abuela, el dueño, la dueña, los hijos Songchun, Cabezón, Vivo, la sobrina Tongji y la mujer de servicio (la señora An).

Authors:   Global Studeis Education Association, Jo Hyeonah , Lim Jinho , Park Keunah , Seo Bin
Published: July 2023

This study explores the ICT in education activity system of teachers in developing countries using the cultural-historical activity theory. We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 teachers and education policymakers from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Colombia, who participated in the KLIC(Korean e-Learning Improvement Cooperation) invitational training program. Our analysis identified six key components of the activity system and examined contradictions within and between these components. The study offers valuable insights into the perspectives of teachers and education policymakers in developing countries, contributing to the understanding of ICT in education. Future research can build upon this by analyzing the interaction between the activity systems of Korean and local teachers, providing a fresh perspective on evaluating international development cooperation projects.

Applying positive psychology to alcohol-misusing adolescents
Authors: Akhtar Miriam , Boniwell Ilona
Published: July 2023

Adolescent alcohol misuse is associated with many adverse consequences for well-being (Viner & Taylor, 2007). Positive psychology has pledged to improve adolescent well-being, so what can the field contribute to the treatment of alcoholmisusing young people? This mixed methods study evaluates a pilot group application of positive psychology to alcohol-misusing adolescents, examining its effects on adolescent well-being and alcohol habits. The intervention consisted of eight workshops based on positive psychology models including happiness, strengths, optimism and gratitude. The participants were adolescents attending an alcohol and drug treatment service for young people. The experimental group (n = 10) participated in weekly workshops while a control group (n = 10) received no treatment. The results suggested that the group intervention led to an increase in adolescent well-being and decrease in alcohol consumption. In the quantitative study the results indicated significant increases in happiness, optimism and positive emotions and a significant decline in alcohol dependence. In the qualitative study the main themes were a rise in happiness and other positive emotions; the development of a future goal orientation; a decline in alcohol and drug use and an escalation of change amounting to transformation. The investigation concludes that a positive psychology group intervention can make an effective contribution to the treatment of alcohol-misusing adolescents with a recommendation to take the current pilot forward to a full study.
