China in Transatlantic Relationship
Authors: Prikhodko Oleg
Published: August 2024

The article aims to provide an analysis of China's impact on transatlantic relationship by examining trends in the US-EU interactions and analyzing reasons that are behind their choices pertained to the “Chinese factor”. Special attention is paid to crucial issues that determine current situation and shape perspectives in the triangular US-EU-China with focus on the US-PRC stand-off in the Pacific. Deep divergences between the West’s and China’s views on the future of the world order preset an intense competition between them. Their rivalry embraces various domains from world markets of high-tech goods and race for superiority in emerging technologies till military face-off in the Pacific. The article reveals that the US and Europe have both overlapping and conflicting interests as regards relations with China, and that the EU internal discord in dealing with Beijing impedes transatlantic coordination of policies.
Enactivism and Heidegger: a Complicated Theoretical Union
Authors: Onegin Ilia
Published: August 2024

This article shows what difficulties are connected with the enactivist interpretation of Heidegger and what options can be found to overcome them. First of all, the epistemological attitude of enactivism is outlined. This attitued forced the enactivist theoreticians (i.e. Francisco Varela and Evan Thompson) to turn to the “cognitive” understanding of Heidegger. The rejection of cognitivism and connectionism as equally “disembodied” ways of understanding consciousness in favor of an “embodied” approach led enactivist theorists to turn to the phenomenological tradition and, in particular, to the cognitive interpretations of Heidegger. Secondly, the reasons for disappointment in the Heideggerian heritage, expressed by the theorists of enactivism, are considered. It is shown that the main reason for this disappointment was the basic incompatibility of the enactivist approach to consciousness, based on the Husserlian concept of intentionality, with Heidegger's approach. Natalie Depraz' non-intentional approach based on her interpretation of the concept of Gelassenheit is named as an example of overcoming the contradictions that arise in enactivism.
Kant's Mind (in Cognitive and Neurophilosophical Perspective)
Authors: Katrechko Sergey
Published: August 2024

In one of his works, the modern neurophilosopher G. Northoff, developing the problems of Kantian transcendental cognitive science (epistemology), introduces the metaphor of Kant’s mind. In this article, we attempt to explicate this metaphor in order to propose a cognitive model of Kant’s mind (the Kantian mind as a sequence of cognitive syntheses), which could be used in modern research in cognitive science, neuroscience and artificial intelligence. At the same time, there is currently a question (task), on the one hand, about the transition of transcendentalism to neurotranscendentalism, i.e. the development of neurocognitological research aimed at identifying the neural correlates of the components/structures of the Kant’s mind (the transition from Kant’s mind to the Kantian brain)), and, on the other hand, the creation of intelligent computer programs (systems) that implement the cognitive model of the Kant’s mind. This article outlines ways to solve both the first and second of these problems.

Authors: Poveda Jaramillo Germán
Published: August 2024

La hidrología de Colombia está fuertemente afectada por ambas fases del ENSO, un fenómeno que exhibe rasgos de caos determinístico de baja dimensionalidad. Se examina el posible comportamiento caótico de la hidro-climatología de Colombia. Para ello, se presentan algunas ideas de la cuantificación de caos usando series temporales y se aplican a series hidrológicas extensas de Colombia, consistentes en registros de precipitación mensual de Bogotá entre 1866 y 1992 y de Medellín entre 1908 y 1995, así como a la serie de caudales medios mensuales del río Magdalena en Puerto Berrío. Se estiman el Espectro de Potencias, la dimensión de HaussdorfBesikovich (fractal), la dimensión de escalamiento entre distancias en los atractores, y el mayor exponente de Lyapunov de las series temporales.Se estudia la dinámica que controÍa el comportamiento de la precipitación y los caudales, con el ánimo de investigar la existencia de componentes determinísticas de baja dimensionalidad, y el posible comportamiento caótico. Se discuten algunas ideas acerca de la predicción hidrológica en el contexto de sistemas dinámicos no lineales en régimen de caos.

Authors: Antipina Natalya V.
Published: August 2024

The past few decades by the emergence of such crises in the economic and social sphere of society, which resulted in economic supply shocks have been marked. Previously extremely rare, they have shifted the focus to the relevance of research on macroeconomic processes affected by shocks of this nature, not only in economic theory, but also in mathematical modelling. As a result of the analysis of already known macroeconomic models, it was revealed that the impact of external economic shocks on the main indicators of macroeconomics can have both negative and positive effects on economic growth. The purpose of the study is to build and analyze a dynamic optimization model, as well as recommendations for developing an optimal economic policy strategy. The article contains a description of the formulation and mathematical formalization of the macroeconomic task of levelling social damage from the impact of an external economic supply shock on the inflationary process and the unemployment rate. The connection between the two latter processes is established on the basis of the equation of the modified Phillips curve, supplemented by inflationary expectations, assuming a short-term perspective. The corresponding to this task economic and mathematical model is classified as an optimization model and represents the task of finding the conditional minimum of the loss functional. The article describes the qualitative analysis of this model, carried out using the methods of calculus of variations, formulas describing the dynamics of the above-mentioned macroeconomic indicators are obtained, a formula is derived for finding the level of inflation expectations at each moment of the time period under consideration. The obtained results of the mathematical model study are interpreted economically, while special attention is paid to the analysis of the impact of the external supply shock on these indicators.

Moral and Philosophical-Social Values in the Book of the Prophet Amos - Highlights for Contemporary Social Work
Authors:   Lecturer PhD, Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Iași, Romania, Nistor Petronela Polixenia
Published: August 2024

A very special place among the personalities of the Old Testament is occupied by the preachers known as prophets, a title that was attributed to them due to the role and mission they had to fulfill in the activity which, from a spiritual point of view, represents the preparation of the work of salvation that would be realized through the incarnation and sacrifice of the Savior Jesus Christ. From a religious perspective, in the activity they carried out, the prophets were constantly guided by the commandments of the Covenant concluded on Mount Sinai, and their activity is focused on preaching the fulfillment and perfect observance of this Covenant. From another perspective, however, the ideas transmitted by the prophets are equally a moral code and a set of social norms, which are based on a broad reasoning on the social characteristics of the communities in reference to which they were decreed. Some of the commandments of the Covenant have remained relevant in today's society, many in their original form, others were modified and adapted during the historical evolution of society. The purpose of this article is to theoretically analyze the topicality of the moral and philosophical-social values presented in the book of the prophet Amos, as highlights for contemporary social work.
Student Teachers’ Perception of Science Teaching in Croatia
Authors: Škugor Alma , Letina Alena , Tomaš Suzana
Published: August 2024

In the Republic of Croatia, all education-related documents, reforms, and changes at all levels of education rest on a constructivist approach to learning and teaching. The initial teacher education system should take responsibility for introducing new methodological scenarios, didactic design of spaces, and equipment that are compatible with contemporary learning theories and support multiple learning styles. This paper aimed to identify and compare the perceptions of teacher education students in the Republic of Croatia regarding the teaching of Science. Students’ perceptions in the academic year 2022/23 were compared to the academic year 2011/12 when the research was first conducted. This paper included teacher education students in their 2nd (N=366) and 5th year (N=386) of study from three Croatian universities. Students’ perception of teaching was assessed through drawings, the analysis of which indicates the students’ self-perception as teachers during the teaching of Science and reveals their preconceptions about teaching and learning. The results show that 2nd-year students are more likely to perceive themselves in teacher-centered environment. Furthermore, 2022/23 generation students are more likely to perceive themselves in teacher-centered environment when compared to students 11 years ago. For 5th-year students, there is no statistically significant difference in the perception of teaching between the 2011/12 generation and the 2022/23 generation. However, when the results are categorized on the continuum of teaching theory, it is evident that 24% more of them perceive themselves to be in teacher-centered classes in 2022/23 and 20% less in student-centered environment as opposed to 11 years ago. Therefore, it is recommended to modernize higher education teaching with new didactic solutions, strategies, and technologies that will help students change their perceptions of teaching and learning, and subsequently implement it once they start working.
Information Gathering for Online News Publications: A Multidimensional Issue for Media Professionals and Educators
Authors: Szabo Lucian-Vasile , Bader Simona , Sirb Corina
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to reveal some current issues concerning the gap between the education and practice of Romanian online news reporting, especially regarding the activity of information gathering, critical event reporting and fulfilling the role of exposing reality in an objective manner. Several observations from previous studies showed a discrepancy between the educational standards of journalism schools in the matter of news documentation and the reality on the ground. We tried to see what skills the faculties of future journalists must train in order to ensure a return of the media to a more critical attitude, necessary for a democratic society, starting from the qualitative analysis of several local and national media platforms in Romania. Our main interest was the degree to which reporters that publish news on online media platforms use filed documentation, interviews and other news gathering techniques in their activity, compared to simply publish institutional PR briefings or third-part articles. The conclusions of our research are that the vast majority of news is based solely on curated information and lacks not only a critical approach, but also the personal input of reporters.

Authors: Gavrilaș Simona , Coșarbă Editha , Roman Alina Felicia , Torkos Henrietta , Kelemen Gabriela
Published: August 2024

The approach to the teaching process is continuously evolving. The main directions of reference are based on the integrated, modern perspective, respectively, of a single discipline, classic. Each of these has distinct benefits. The best framework is probably represented by a fusion of the two. Integrating thematic projects in science teaching at an early stage offers opportunities to develop and capitalize on multiple perspectives from different people’s interpretations and diverse disciplinary approaches to a given problem or situation. An integrated approach to learning enables teachers to implement the school’s core values in a natural and applied way, thereby elevating the learning experience to foster social-emotional strengths and character development. The research focused mainly on establishing the benefits of the future teacher who will be active in young education. Considering this context, research was conducted among second and third-year students from the primary and preschool education pedagogy area. The main findings that must be underlined relate to the future educator’s capacity to implement the new concepts. Even if they were not beneficiaries of the current methods, they can use these successfully and see their benefits.

Gender Characteristics of Reflection in Higher Education Students in Relation to Social Intelligence
Authors: Starynska Olena
Published: August 2024

Purpose of article: to highlight the results of an empirical research on the gender characteristics of the differential type of reflection in higher education students in relation to social intelligence. Systemic reflection, which allows simultaneous coverage of both the subject and object poles, is found at a high level in all male and almost all female participants; at an average level, it is found in a small number of female participants. Introspection, which promotes focusing on the experiences of both own and other people, is identified at a high level in three-fifths of the male participants and slightly less than one-second of the female participants; at an average level, it is found in two-fifths of the male participants and slightly more than one-second of the female participants. Quasi-reflection, which involves detachment from the real situation due to a focus on an ideal object, is found at a high level in three-fifths of the male participants and slightly more than one-second of the female participants; at an average level, it is found in two-fifths of the male participants and slightly less than one-second of the female participants. No low levels of systemic reflection, introspection, or quasi-reflection were observed. Statistically significant differences were found only in the levels of introspection between male and female participants. Statistically significant correlations between the overall social intelligence indicator and systemic reflection, introspection, and quasi-reflection have demonstrated that reflection is a psychological mechanism of the development of social intelligence in higher education students with special educational needs.

Published: August 2024

This study is part of a broader investigation into the portrayal of disability within the context of the Paralympic Games. Focusing on media coverage from 2008, 2012 and 2016 in French and Tunisian newspapers, representing two distinct cultural landscapes, we explore the nuances of how disability is depicted. Employing a multifaceted approach involving statistical analysis utilizing the Chi-squared test, discourse content analysis, and photo analysis, we delve into uncharted territory by examining the treatment of impaired athletes in Tunisian media. Our findings highlight significant disparities and instances of discrimination, not only between disabled and able-bodied athletes but also among genders within each nation. Of particular concern are the disparities in photo representation, notably the portrayal of Tunisian women athletes. By contextualizing our findings within the existing body of literature, this study provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of disability representation in sports media. Furthermore, it contributes to a deeper understanding of societal attitudes towards disability and offers actionable recommendations to foster more inclusive media coverage in the future.

Authors: Özçınar Berk , Esen Emel , Karaca  Varinlioğlu Selin , Başar Doğan
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of employee experience on work engagement. A questionnaire consisting of both open-ended and multiple-choice items was administered to 308 respondents working in seven main insurance companies operating in Turkey. Employee experience is divided into three dimensions: the perceived importance of managers, work meaningfulness, and career-focused experience. According to the results of this study, employee experience has an important effect on work engagement. Employee well-being partially mediates the relationship between employee experience and work engagement. The importance of the research is that it shows that employee experience practices and welfare policies implemented by companies will ultimately result in work engagement. We emphasize the importance of providing employees with a positive experience throughout their journey, from recruitment to post-employment, as it leads to positive outcomes at both an individual and organizational level.
Developing Future Teachers’ Creativity as a Crucial Element of Systemic Work in the Neuropedagogical Environment
Authors: Kaplinskyi Vasyl , Stoliarenko Olena , Stoliarenko Oksana , Berezyuk Оlena , Chumak Mykola , Hаtezh Nataliia
Published: August 2024

The article highlights the crucial role of creativity as a fundamental trait for today’s educators. It is vital for devising innovative solutions, developing new educational technologies and engaging students in meaningful learning experiences. As the world evolves rapidly, teachers must be responsive to these changes. Creativity helps teachers address challenges during the educational process and foster student participation. Today’s students are more independent and seek involvement rather than passively receiving information. Creative teachers are, therefore, better equipped to create environments that promote independent work and innovation. Creativity is a critical success factor, enabling individuals to generate ideas and solve problems. Teachers should focus on enhancing students’ creative skills to help them thrive in the future. Simultaneously, a structured approach within the neuropedagogical environment can help nurture creative skills in future teachers. This process must be holistic, incorporating a range of methods and techniques. Such an approach will equip future teachers to teach effectively and mentor students in today’s world. Thus, the article defines creativity as a vital aspect of pedagogical practice and examines strategies for enhancing creative skills among future teachers within the neuropedagogical environment.
“He Was Such a Block of Ice.” Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Adolescent Girls’ Work in an Intimate Relationship
Authors: Kacprzak-Wachniew Kamila , Spychalska-Stasiak Justyna
Published: August 2024

The first romantic relationships of adolescents are of significant developmental importance, and the acquired experience is a cultural issue. The study aimed to capture what meanings young teenagers give their first love experiences. In-depth interviews were conducted with six teenage girls. A detailed idiographic analysis, based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), allowed us to present the work of adolescents to maintain intimacy and ensure the stability of a romantic relationship. It was noticed that young girls take an emotionally leading role in their romantic relationships, feel responsible for them, and act following the stereotypical gender order. The interpretative framework adolescents adopt may result from therapeutic and utilitarian narratives, addressed mainly to women.
Language at Stake in International Research Collaboration—Methodological Reflections on Team-Based and Time-Intensive Ethnography
Authors: Glasdam Stinne , Jacobsen Frode F. , Ågotnes Gudmund , Stjernswärd Sigrid
Published: August 2024

Based on experiences from multiple international research projects, spanning several decades and utilizing various forms of collaborative ethnographic approaches, this article aims to reflect on challenges and potentials regarding language and communication when researching across jurisdictions. Thematically, the research projects that we draw on in this paper, are concerned with aging and healthcare, while the primary focus of the paper remains on the methodological implications of conducting international, collaborative, and time-intensive ethnography. Moreover, the aim is to contribute to enhancing researchers’ awareness of and preparedness to meet and address such challenges in future research endeavors. The article discusses how English often serves as a lingua franca for Western-dominated international research collaborations, having implications for researchers and study participants alike, as well as the use of interpreters and potential linguistic pitfalls. In the article, we argue that attention and reflection on language and communication in research are significant for how collaboration in research transpires, the opted methodical choices, and, ultimately, for research quality, while often being under-appreciated. International ethnographic fieldwork requires thorough preparation and reflection to properly handle linguistic and cultural competencies, nuances, and understandings incorporated in the researchers, with subsequent consequences for research processes and outcomes.
“Maintain Your Hope and Know That You Are Loved.” Mr. Anthony Albanese’s Discursive Construction of Collective Emotional Resilience
Authors: Zubrzycka-Czarnecka Aleksandra
Published: August 2024

This paper employs Stephanie Paterson’s empathic policy analysis framework to explore the discursive construction of emotional resilience. The research conducted for the paper focuses on Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s notion of emotional resilience during a press conference he delivered on October 15, 2023, in the context of the Voice referendum. Mr. Albanese discursively frames the concept of emotional resilience as emotional stability that builds the community’s resistance to crisis situations, enables progress, and avoids division. The study identifies two emotional discourses influencing this portrayal of emotional resilience: (1) a discourse of emotional stability among opponents of the Voice referendum and (2) a discourse of emotional stability among supporters of the referendum. The article analyzes the assumptions underlying this representation and the silences—that which has been left unspoken or implied—associated with it.
Naturaleza-libro, universo-texto. Signos y voces de paisajes mayas

Es privilegio exclusivo de los mayas interpretar a cabalidad la naturaleza que los rodea; hacerla comprensible, leerla, domesticarla. Por ejemplo, el tojolabal que conoce la tradición sabe que los relámpagos -verdes- son niños que juegan en la bóveda celeste, mientras los rayos adultos -rojos- trabajan en ella; el maya peninsular no ignora que el altar erigido para celebrar unas ceremonia de petición de lluvias, representa los tres estratos del mundo, de allí que sobre la mesa (tierra) se preparen los dones para los señores celestiales, ubicados en el firmamento comunitario que representa la cubierta hecha de ramas y hojas de árbol jabín, al tiempo que, bajo el mueble, se ubican los niños que, a modo de sapos en el inframundo, croan invocando a las aguas pluviales; mujeres y hombres mayas son capaces de percibir la textura de ciertos vientos, el rumor que producen las alas de petate erizadas de pequeñas navajas de pedernal que porta el ave carnicera. Porque el paisaje es texto susceptible de numerosas lecturas; lecturas que, sabiéndolo o no, se realizan a través de un presente cultural, preñado de memoria histórica colectiva.

The search for an effective and reliable model for predicting accidents on water supply networks by determining their exact locations has always been important for effectively managing water distribution systems. This study, based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy logical inference system (ANFIS) model, was developed to predict accidents in the city of Kyiv (Ukraine) water supply network. The ANFIS model was combined with genetic algorithms and swarm optimization (ACO) methods and integrated into a GIS to visualize results and determine locations. Forecasts were evaluated according to the following criteria: mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). Depending on the amount and type of input data, ANFIS optimization with genetic algorithms and swarm optimization (ACO) can, on average, increase the accuracy of ANFIS predictions by 10.1% to 11%. The obtained results indicate that the developed hybrid model may be successfully applied to predict accidents on water supply networks.
Gradient projection: simplifying minimization area by affine transform
Authors: Spectorsky Igor
Published: August 2024

One of the classical problems of optimization theory in a finite-dimensional space is to find a minimum of a function on a nonempty set. Usually, finding the precise solution to this task analytically requires a lot of computational resources or is even impossible at all. So, approximate methods are used most often in practical cases. One of the simplest and the most well-known among such approximate methods for unconditional optimization is the method of gradient descent; its generalization for conditional optimization was found in 1964, the method of projected gradient. For some simple sets (line segment, parallelepiped, ball), the projection of the point on the set can be easily found by an explicit formula. However, for more complicated sets (e.g., an ellipse), projecting becomes a separate task. Nevertheless, sometimes computing projection can be simplified by affine transform; e.g., an ellipse can be transformed into a ball by affine (moreover, by linear) transformation. The paper aims to simplify the problem of minimizing function on the set by changing the condition set by affine transform F(x)= Ax+b, where A is a non-degenerated square matrix, and b is a fixed vector of proper dimension.

In order to assess the impact of each of the factors that affect the quality and uniformity of grinding coffee beans and to compare the impact of these factors, it is worth establishing a quantitative indicator of this impact. To solve this problem, dispersion analysis was used as a method of organizing sample data according to possible sources of dispersion. The chosen method made it possible to decompose the total dispersion into components caused by the influence of factor levels. Grinding time, geometric dimensions of the grain, moisture content of the grain, speed of rotation of the motor shaft were selected as factors influencing the homogeneity of grinding. The justification and assessment of the reliability of statistical conclusions about the informational significance of indicators affecting the homogeneity of coffee grinding was carried out to ensure the highest possible probability of the obtained result.
Value relevance of fair value hierarchy

Implementing accounting standard 68 (PSAK 68) adopted by IFRS 13 has brought changes in reflecting the market value previously explained by earnings per share and book value. This study investigates the relevance of fair value estimates as measured by the beta coefficient in firms in the financial industry. Specifically, the study focuses on whether the hierarchy of fair value financial liabilities and assets of the firms can affect the market value. This is quantitative research using archival methods. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique with a sample of 240 firm-years. The results showed that financial assets for level 2 (inputs other than quoted prices that were observable directly or indirectly) and level 3 (unobservable inputs generated by entities) positively had value relevance. All three hierarchy fair values of financial liabilities fair value negatively had value-relevance. These results indicate that investors pay higher financial assets for levels 2 and 3 than level 1. Meanwhile, the value relevance of financial assets and liabilities, as measured by R-squared, was relevant. This suggests that investors also trust that each hierarchy's fair value affects the market value. The findings of this study have significant implications for the advancement of the clean surplus theory. The theory posits that the company's market value can be explained by the fair value of financial assets using level 2 and level 3 as well as level 1, level 2, and level 3 financial liabilities.
