Authors: Alam Awan Shahid , Nudra Saira
Published: May 2024

The primary aim of this study was to investigate how situational leadership impacts school improvement in secondary-level education within Islamabad. The research sought to assess the relationship between situational leadership and advancements in secondary schools. To achieve these goals, a quantitative methodology was utilized, involving the administration of questionnaires to gather data on leadership and school improvement. Islamabad Capital Territory is reported to have 250 public secondary schools by the Federal Directorate of Education, while the Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority Islamabad indicates 354 secondary schools. The study's target population encompassed 604 principals and 7023 teachers from secondary schools across Islamabad. School selection employed convenient sampling based on specific inclusion criteria, with purposive sampling utilized for data collection. Two schools were chosen to represent situational leadership styles, and the sample included both principals and teachers.
The National GSBPM Glossary: Methodology and Practice
Authors: Vasyechko O. O.
Published: May 2024

This study aims to contribute to the national statistical glossary compilation, namely a glossary supporting the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM). The GSBPM is a standard framework that allows statistical authorities to use corporate and harmonized terminology for the statistical business process. In Ukraine, the implementation of the GSBPM in statistical practice puts forward the need for its terminological support. The glossary is a means of understanding among statisticians and contributes to professional vocabulary formation.
Statistical terminology today creates an independent terminological system. The system nature of statistical language is related to the professional limits and the interdependence of phenomena within these limits. As a subsystem of the general statistical system, the GSBPM has its vocabulary.
We argue a complex, non-linear, and dynamic interrelation between statistical business processes in the GSBPM. The business processes form some synergy and involve professional vocabulary for different business phases, implying a non-mechanical approach to glossary compilation.
According to studied international practice, there is no single approach to statistical glossaries construction and presentation. The choice of basiс international standards is crucial to ensure the GSBPM methodology and quality.
We formulated several experience-based requirements and principles for the GSBPM glossary. Identified problematic issues may be useful for further work on statistical terminology. The progress in official statistics, both international and national, significantly affects this work's qualitative aspects. An essential factor in bringing national statistical language closer to international standards is undoubtedly the dialogue between the academic community and statisticians-practitioners.
The development of glossaries for the General Activity Model for Statistical Organizations (GAMSO) and the Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM) is outlined as a prospective area of further studies.
Requirements for the Transformation towards Returnable Transport Item-Enabled Circular Economies in the Austrian Parcel Industry
Authors: Schneikart Gerald , Löffler Clemens , Brandner Manuela , Pfoser Sarah , Mayrhofer Walter
Published: May 2024

The European Green Deal sets the ambitious targets of establishing the first climate neutral continent by 2050 and reducing emissions by a minimum of 55% by 2030. In order to move the involved stakeholders to action, the European Commission has formulated proposals for regulations. One such proposal defines a legal framework to force industries to reduce the environmental burden caused by packaging waste. A major waste producer is the parcel service industry (CEP; courier, express, and parcel) and the industries it serves. Once put into place by the EU member states, the new laws will force all players in these sectors to increase business innovations in circular economies, which are based on the principles of recycling and reuse. Circular economies can be achieved by the implementation of returnable transport items (RTI) integrated with Industry 4.0 technologies. The ongoing research project ReKEP, which is largely funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, investigates potential impacts of RTI-based circular economies in the Austrian parcel service industry. The project’s particular interest is to identify the requirements of the most relevant stakeholder groups in the CEP industry for the successful transformation towards RTI-enabled circular economies. For this purpose, we conducted interviews with leaders and decision-makers of 10 stakeholder organizations, including producers, retailers, CEP contractors and the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber. This paper summarizes the interview results, which indicate that, despite recognizing the high potential of RTIs for reaching ecological sustainability goals, the contemporary awareness of the EU Green Deal and the concomitant responsibility to take action seems too low for successful implementation. The study outcome suggests that research and development in RTI should focus on operational requirements of workers and line managers from CEP industries for successful transformations to circular economies.
The History of the Jewish communities in the Mamlūk Sultanate (1250–1517): approaches and discourses
Authors: Novikova Valeriia
Published: May 2024

The article discusses the main approaches and discourses that are used in writing the history of Jewish communities in the Mamlūk Sultanate (1250–1517). The review on the topic includes the classics of the Jewish history, studies of contemporary authors in English, Arabic and Hebrew. Two main approaches are distinguished. There are two approaches. The first is the “theory of decline,” which characterizes the reign of the Mamluks as a period of systematic decline of the entire Mamluk society, which subsequently influenced the state of the Jewish community itself. approach that describes the period as time of oppression and isolation of the community. The second approach defines the period as a time of oppression, discrimination and isolation of the community.The criticism of A. Mazor and N. Hofer on the “theory of decline” and oppression of the community is considered there. That historical approaches are placed in certain discourses. Among them, might be highlighted the Jewish national, Zionist, orientalist, Islamic discourses, M. Cohen's «neo-lacrimous concept», as well as the reaction on them among Arab historians. The conclusions identify problems associated with the historical period under study, and also discuss issues related to expanding the methodological base in historical research. The works of modern researchers who apply methods from other social sciences, for example, discourse analysis, narrative analysis and case study, are presented. The identification of typical approaches, theoretical and ideological frameworks will allow to reconsider the period under study in the history of Jewish communities.

On the issue of family planning in Nigeria
Authors: Rybalkina Inna G.
Published: May 2024

Despite the fourth decade of implementation of the Nigerian government family planning program, the total fertility rate remains one of the highest in the world (5.2), and according to UN experts, by the end of the 21st century Nigeria will become the third most populous country after India and China. Explosive growth leads to complications of economic development, undermines food security and the resource base of social policy, can give rise to a series of acute environmental crises, cyclical outbreaks of epidemiological diseases, destructive internal conflicts, socio-political instability, including an increase in crime, and wars with neighboring countries.
Traditionalist norms of behavior - the desire of Nigerians to have a large family, in other words, a larger number of free labor in agricultural production, as well as religious attitudes and many other preferences hinder the implementation of state demographic policy programs.
In search of a way out, the government turns to scientists, pointing out the need to prioritize reducing child and maternal mortality. They emphasize that increasing financial support for family planning programs, involving religious leaders of all faiths in familiarizing themselves with government demographic policies, and growing the network of health centers for counseling and information on family planning are all as important as the availability and accessibility of contraception. The family planning program is the main, and in many countries the only, component of demographic policy that can significantly reduce maternal and child mortality, contribute to a reduction in the birth rate and progressive socio-economic development.
Mustafa Barzani’s Soviet exile: popular myths vs. evidence in Russian archives (Part I)
Authors: Mossaki Nodar
Published: May 2024

The article examines the case file of the Kurdish leader Mustafa Barzani, preserved in the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI). The dossier was opened in 1953, when Barzani began studying at the Higher Party School (HPS) under the Central Committee (CC) of the CPSU and was compiled by the International Department of the CC of the CPSU. In addition to a large collection of press materials, primary sources such as Soviet internal reports, transcripts of conversations, surveillance records, and personal correspondence bring to light previously unknown episodes in the biography of the renowned Kurdish leader, including detailed information about his residence in Moscow in 1953-1958, training at the HPS, meetings with friends and associates, and maneuvering to maintain his leadership while in exile from Kurdistan. The dossier materials are also critically compared with information presented in already published literature about this period of Barzani’s life. The article also provides information about employees of the International Department who were involved in relations with the Kurdish leader. Archive materials allow us to reassess elements of the Barzani legend, such as his purported rank as an officer in the Soviet Army, and to better understand Soviet policymakers, who did not view Barzani as ideological ally and yet chose to continue supporting him. Although Barzani was driven by nationalist rather than Marxist goals, he was neither anti-communist nor anti-Soviet. The documents demonstrate time and again Barzani’s unwavering adherence to the national idea and his resolve to return to Kurdistan to continue the struggle.
Alla Tsybikova: Sketches to a Biography. Part 1. Becoming an Artist
Authors: Panarin Sergei A.
Published: May 2024

The life and career of Alla Tsybikova are closely connected with Buryatia and Russia. However, Tsybikova plays also a special part in the world art of late 20th century. Few artists of this time can be compared with her in the way how the qualities of her pictorial images – color harmony, integrity and poetry – organically fuse one with another. Her works captivate with beauty and unique poetry. She created her own artistic system, where world images and national culture are refracted through personal experiences.
Tsybikova’s development as an artist began in an art studio of the Pioneer House. It continued at the Irkutsk School of Arts and at the Theater Workshop of the Moscow State Art Institute. Her graduation portfolio consisted of sketches of costumes and scenery for Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream, which attracted her attention by the intertwining of the human world and fairy-tale characters. As an integral artistic personality, Alla carried through her entire creative life the passions and interests that had acquired during her student years. Most important to her was her acquaintance with the art of scenography and personal experience in this field. Although her theatrical drafts did not receive stage embodiment, they emphasized in her mind the craving for fairy-tale images (such as her favorite bird-men) and the importance of recreating integrity and depth of the depicted space. This was reflected in her theater interiors, in easel painting, sketches for tapestries, plasticine models for bronze sculpture, and watercolors painted on wood planks.
Astronomical knowledge of yazgulemians
Authors: Gulomshoev Silemonsho
Published: May 2024

Field study of the folk calendar and astronomical knowledge of the inhabitants of the Yazgulem valley (Tajikistan) was carried out in July 2023 during which 19 people from five villages were interviewed.Now there are only 8 villages left in the Yazgulem valley, three of which have such a small population that there are no knowledgeable informants to conduct a survey of them.
Among the folk holidays, the residents of Yazgulem named Gravash, Navruz, Gevkhanuk, wheat harvest, Herman Kubon. However, to a greater extent, these holidays are preserved in memory, and now (except for Navruz) no one celebrates them.Relevant modern holidays are Navruz, Muslim Kurban and Ramadan, and to a lesser extent the “Soviet” (Gregorian) New Year.
Among the stars, the inhabitants of the valley know Sirius (Cold Star), which, as elsewhere, is a marker of the onset of autumn, the Pleiades (which in Yazgulem are called Khvag) and Tarozu (three stars of Orion’s belt). With the involvement of information from other regions, it was possible to establish that the onset of Navruz was previously determined by the setting of Tarozu. It is interesting to note that the information about these stars present in M.S. Andreev’s publications, however, he does not have identification of these stars. Another star that is known in this region is Arcturus (α Bootes), which the local population calls Angur, which translates from Tajik as grapes. The fact is that when the grapes ripen, this star is visible at dusk opposite Mecca, and in addition, it has a red color.
Hosea 3: a New Translation with Introduction and Commentary
Authors: Kogan Leonid
Published: May 2024

This article is a part of the forthcoming commentary on the biblical Book of Hosea. It contains a new translation of chapter 3 with an introduction and a detailed philological commentary on the Hebrew text.
In the commentary, we analyze a number of complex or rare words and expressions in the Bible: 1) rēaʕ “neighbor; 2) pānā “to turn” as a part of the expression “to turn to other gods”; 3) a rare word ʔǎšīšā – presumably “raisin cake”; 4) yāšab with the preposition lə- meaning “to wait”; 5) the expression hāyā lə-ʔīš “to be with a man”; 6) the cultic terms maṣṣēbōt “sacred stones”, ʔēpōd and tərāpīm; 7) ṭūb “kindness”; 8) bə-ʔaḥǎrīt ha-yyāmīm – literally “at the end of the days”.
We also study morphologically ambiguous forms and complex syntactic constructions: 1) the passive participle ʔǎhūbā, which can have an active meaning; 2) the verbal form ʔäkkərähā, containing dagesh forte dirimens; the analysis of the form is accompanied by a detailed overview of the use of this sign; 3) the preposition ʔēl with a noun without a verb as a prepositional nominal predicate; 4) pāḥad “to be afraid” in combination with the directive preposition ʔēl as an example of constructio praegnans.
At the level of exegesis, we analyze both popular and rare but convincing interpretations of the text. In some cases, we offer a new perspective on Hosea 3. We believe that verses 3:2–4 contain several allusions to the Exodus. We interpret verse 3:4 as a prophecy predicting the destruction of the sanctuaries of the Northern Kingdom.

Este ensaio tem como tema “a absolvição por ausência de materialidade e ameaça à Lei Maria da Penha: uma reafirmação da violência simbólica de gênero?”. A fim de corroborar o problema traçado de se a absolvição por ausência de materialidade representa ameaça à Lei Maria da Penha, por configurar uma reafirmação da violência simbólica de gênero de Pierre Bourdieu, relacionado aos problemas existenciais na construção dos direitos das mulheres, bem como no alcance das ideologias androcêntricas e patriarcais na pratica de instituições como o Poder Judiciário, demonstrando o modo que se perfaz a violência simbólica de gênero. Com isso, a construção teórica foi realizada através de pesquisas bibliográficas, da analise empírica de casos, como o de Mariana Ferrer e de jurisprudências nacionais. A pesquisa possibilita visibilizar e compreender as dificuldades para efetivar os direitos das mulheres, em especial a Lei Maria da Penha, e a influência dos ideais de gênero na prática do Judiciário,reiterando a necessidade da capacitação técnica dos operadores do Direito sob a perspectiva de gênero.
Prevention and Treatment of Smallpox in the Edo Period: Focusing on the Adoption of Variolation
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Social History of Medicine, Kim Youngsoo
Published: May 2024

This paper explores the introduction of smallpox variolation (人痘法) as a means
of addressing the smallpox epidemic during the Edo period in Japan. It also investigates
the impact of smallpox variolation on Japanese society during the late Edo period. I
begin by outlining the history of smallpox epidemics in Japan. Subsequently, I document
the process of introducing and developing smallpox variolation, which was considered
a valuable preventive measure against smallpox during that period.
While smallpox variolation was introduced in the mid-18th century, it took about
half a century for the practice to be effectively implemented. Several physicians attempted
variolation during this period, but Ogata Shunsaku (緖方春朔) was renowned as the first
to succeed on a large scale, particularly with children. He authored works such as
“Shutohissunben (種痘必順辨)” to advocate for the effectiveness of variolation. Additionally,
rather than simply adopting the Chinese method of variolation, he developed his own
method that took into consideration Japan's unique climate and environment, hoping
to enhance the efficacy of variolation.
During that time, the prevailing response to the smallpox epidemic focused on
diagnosis and treatment using medicine rather than variolation. While Ogata Shunsaku
actively practiced variolation, the shogunate established an institution within the medical
department tasked with the prevention and treatment of smallpox. This institution propagated
the Ikeda-ryu (池田流) method, which specialized in diagnosing and treating smallpox.
Despite disparities in approaches, competition between smallpox prevention and treatment
catalyzed the accumulation of relevant medical knowledge and experience in Japan during
the early 19th century.
Initially, variolation was introduced from China; however, over time, researchers
experimented with it in various ways, integrating knowledge from Rangaku (蘭學) and
cowpox inoculation (牛痘法). Responding to academic and technical developments, Ranpoi
(蘭方醫) made diverse attempts at variolation that served as precursors to the eventual
adoption of cowpox inoculation. Examining the process of variolation’s introduction and
implementation elucidates the characteristics of early 19th-century Japanese medicine
that transcended disciplinary boundaries.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of the research was to study the effectiveness of a new medicinal product for veterinary use «MASTIBLOCK gel» in the treatment of mastitis in cows during lactation. 5 groups (10 animals each) of lactating cattle with various forms of mastitis were formed: group 1 – subclinical mastitis; group 2 – acute serous mastitis; group 3 – chronic serous mastitis; group 4 – acute catarrhal mastitis; group 5 – chronic catarrhal mastitis. For the 1st, 2nd and 4th groups, therapy was carried out for 7 days, for the 3rd and 5th – for 14 days. The drug was used externally for all animals, by applying a uniform layer of 50 g 2 times a day to the surface of the udder. At the beginning and end of treatment, blood was taken in each group for general blood test; milk was taken to assess bacterial contamination and assess the number of somatic cells. The clinical assessment of the condition of the animals was carried out daily. All the animals were kept in the same conditions. The diet of cows of all groups corresponded to the norms for this type and technological use of animals.
The presence of pathology and the effectiveness of the drug were evaluated based on the results of a clinical examination of animals, the results of bacteriological analysis, a general blood test and a milk test for the number of somatic cells.
As a result of the work carried out, based on the results of the study, it was found that the drug showed high therapeutic efficacy in various forms of mastitis caused by opportunistic microflora in lactating cows, and also helps to restore the qualitative characteristics of milk and reduce somatic cells in them.
Exploring Machine Learning Algorithms for Enhanced Diagnosis of Breast Cancer : A Comparative Study
Authors: Naveen Kumar Thawait
Published: May 2024

Breast cancer remains a significant global health concern, necessitating accurate and efficient diagnostic methods for timely intervention and treatment. This study investigates the efficacy of various machine learning algorithms in diagnosing breast cancer based on clinical data. Leveraging a comprehensive dataset comprising demographic information, medical history, and diagnostic features, we employ supervised learning techniques to train and evaluate multiple classifiers. Through a comparative analysis, we assess the performance of popular machine learning algorithms including logistic regression, support vector machines, decision trees, random forests, and neural networks. Evaluation metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) are utilized to quantify the diagnostic capabilities of each model. Our results demonstrate promising performance across the evaluated algorithms, with some exhibiting superior accuracy and predictive power compared to others. Furthermore, we explore feature importance to gain insights into the characteristics influencing the classification process. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on utilizing machine learning for medical diagnosis, offering valuable insights for developing robust and accurate tools for detecting breast cancer.
PENGARUH PENERAPAN SMKK TERHADAP PENGENDALIAN RISIKO PEKERJAAN STRUKTUR ATAS JEMBATAN
Authors: Fitriani Amalia , Dradjad Kusumo , Saputra Jonathan
Published: May 2024

An important step toward preventing work accidents on construction projects is the implementation of Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan Konstruksi (SMKK). According to Peraturan Menteri PUPR No. 10 Tahun 2021, The X Highway is a project with a high safety risk rating. This study examines how SMKK elements are applied and how that application influences risk management during bridge upper structural work. Examining documents, conducting interviews, and distributing questionnaires are all examples of data collection techniques. The first analysis involved determining whether each document was appropriate for each element before dividing the number of indicators attained by the total number of indicators. The SPSS application was used to carry out statistical computations for the second analysis. According to the findings, the X highway Project has an average value of 92% of the SMKK implementation rate, indicating a satisfactory application rate.From the results of hypothesis tests on the application of SMKK elements to risk control, of the five SMKK element variables, three SMKK elements partially have a significant effect, and simultaneously, the SMKK element variables have a significant effect. The results of the projection of the multiple linear regression equation on the value of the level of application of the SMKK element show that the Perencanaan Keselamatan Konstruksi and Operasi Keselamatan Konstruksi elements have a low value of risk control influence compared to other SMKK elements. So, it has a higher possibility that these elements will be a source of risk to the upper structure work of the X Highway Project.
Keywords: Risk of Control, SMKK, Upperstructure of the Bridge.

The bearing capacity of the foundation is the ability of the soil to withstand the pressure or load of the building on the ground safely without causing shear failure or excessive decrease. The bearing capacity value of a soil is based on the characteristics of the subgrade soil. The analysis was conducted using the Mayerhoft (1963) and Hana (1981) methodologies in the West Kalimantan and South Kalimantan areas. The results of calculations at the South Kalimantan location yielded values of 11.9 kN for the load P = 5 kN with a depth of 0.5 m and dimensions of 1x1 m, and 11.9 kN for the load P = 10 kN with dimensions of 1x1 m at a depth of 0.5 m. The West Kalimantan location obtained values for loads P = 5kN and 10kN with a depth of 0.5 m, so this condition is unqualified for the allowable bearing capacity. Compared to areas in West Kalimantan, South Kalimantan is still able to satisfy the requirements for shallow foundation bearing capability.

Published: May 2024

The article outlines the general features of using targeted advertising for Ukrainian business. The popularity and relevance of advertising in social networks is substantiated through the prism of the large number of Facebook users, and argumentative factors from prominent practitioners-scientists are provided. The definition of targeted advertising from different people, namely: practitioners, scientists, businessmen was analyzed and a summary statement was presented. According to the Ukrainian Advertising Coalition, it has been determined that the digital advertising market in Ukraine is gradually recovering after the first year of the war and is taking on new forms. A comparative analysis of the advantages of using advertising in social networks has been carried out and the disadvantages that may be present in the work process have been contrasted. The key characteristics of running each level of targeted advertising in Facebook Ads Manager are defined. The work describes the main elements when setting up targeted advertising, namely: audience types, advertising goals, stages of the client's journey through the sales funnel. It has been determined that Ukrainians are quite picky when viewing advertisements, it is difficult to impress them, so the success of targeted advertising requires creative photos, videos and texts that will be unique and will be able to engage customers, regardless of the stage of the sales funnel. A fairly popular way of advertising – promoting posts on Instagram and the advantages of more professional implementation through Meta Business Suite is also analyzed. The importance of a personal and business Facebook page for launching targeted advertising is noted, because Meta algorithms often block suspicious users, so this is an important element in preparation. You also need to be aware of the requirements for what you can advertise and follow to avoid being permanently banned. That is, targeted advertising is a good way to promote business both in the B2C and B2B sphere, as it is close to the user who spends a lot of time on social networks every day, and considering that paid promotion in Tik Tok is prohibited in Ukraine, the target is still the only one way of advertising in social networks.
FINANCIAL AND NONFINANCIAL REPORTING OF THE TOURISM INDUSTRY OF UKRAINE – ON THE WAY TO THE EU
Authors:   National University of Water and Environmental Engineering, Pozniakovska Nataliia , Vyhovskyy Dmytro ,   Civil Society Organisation "Institute of Social Capital Research"
Published: May 2024

The aim of the research was the theoretical justification and improvement of the disclosure of financial and non-financial information of the subjects of tourism activity on the way to the harmonization of the legislation of Ukraine with the legislation of the EU. Tourist activities in Ukraine are carried out by: tourist operators and agents, as well as other business entities that are legal entities or may be persons – entrepreneurs. The determination of the type of business entity depending on the organizational and legal form and certain criteria according to the Law of Ukraine "On accounting and financial reporting in Ukraine" is the basis of the choice of simplified or full financial reporting and the right to a simplified system of taxation and accounting. Sole proprietorships who are on the simplified or general taxation system, employed in tourism, submit only tax reporting to the relevant authorities. Travel agents and operators registered as legal entities, which are micro or small undertakings, independently determine the feasibility of drawing up financial statements and decide which set to submit: simplified or full financial statements. The authors made a comparison of financial statements according to NR(S)A and EU Directives. The EU directive significantly simplifies financial reporting for micro undertakings. Ukrainian legislation requires more detailed information about the assets, liabilities and capital of a small business. However, the EU Directive recommends much more detailed data on the income and expenses of such enterprises in the profit and loss statement and separately in the notes. Large undertakings in the tourism industry publish financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards on their web page or website. In addition, large undertakings disclose financial and non-financial information about the business in the management statement. This is the first non-financial report that has become mandatory for Ukrainian large and medium-sized undertakings. The article discusses the disclosure of non-financial information in statements in accordance with the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, and the determination of the stages of introducing sustainable development reporting during 2024–2028. We believe that the presentation of data on social responsibility and sustainable development by tourism campaigns will have a positive effect on their investment attractiveness.

Exploring the Nexus between Executive Compensation and Disclosure Transparency: Evidence from Taiwan
Authors: Hsieh Chih-Hung , Lo Huai-Chun , Lai Yu-Ying , Ho Chien-Chung
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the relationship between executive compensation and compensation disclosure transparency in Taiwanese firms, particularly in light of recent regulatory changes that mandate increased transparency. Employing a two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression model, the analysis focuses on the impact of executive salary and bonuses on various measures of compensation disclosure. The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between predicted executive bonuses and the Compensation Committee Quality Score (CCQ), indicating that higher bonus levels are associated with lower transparency in compensation committee disclosures. Conversely, executive salaries do not show a significant impact on compensation disclosure measures, suggesting that salary levels may not be a primary determinant of disclosure transparency in the Taiwanese context. The study contributes to the understanding of the dynamics between executive remuneration and transparency in financial reporting, highlighting the importance of executive bonuses in shaping compensation disclosure practices in Taiwan. The results have implications for policymakers, corporate executives, and shareholders, emphasizing the need to consider the structure of executive compensation packages in promoting transparency and enhancing corporate governance standards.
Elwell, Macrosociology - The Study Of Sociocultural Systems
Authors: Bentel Brian
Published: May 2024

Frank Elwell's Macrosociology is a rare find because it is well written and accessible, yet treats its subject, sociological theory, in the proper manner. Elwell's choice of theoretical traditions covers the "big three" classical thinkers-Marx, Durkheim, Weber-but the readers might find themselves pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of Robert Malthus. The book is broken down into sections based on these four essential theorists, with additional chapters in each section covering thinkers whose ideas build upon or complement the classics. For instance, to Weber's treatment of rationalization, Elwell adds George Ritzer's recent and popular notion of "McDonalidization"-an idea that brings familiarity to a concept otherwise intimidating to many students.
Libraries of the European branches of Imperial Russian Geographical Society
Authors: Bazyleva E. A.
Published: May 2024

The author reviews the history and development of the libraries of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society European branches, namely the Caucasusian, North-Western and South-Western. The library network of the Geographical Society branches supported local scientists and researchers in their studies. The libraries were established through the donations made by the members, other individuals and institutions. Apart from the donations, the library collections were developed through the book exchange. The branches’ own publishing practice facilitated the expansion of book exchange relations with other scientific institutions. The European branches of the Geographical Society published periodicals and continuing publications such as “Bulletins”, “News”, and “Reports”. The book exchange was negatively affected by the First World War and revolutionary events, which resulted in almost absolute termination of contacts with foreign scientific societies.The development of libraries of European branches of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society was inextricably linked with contributing individuals and often depended on the selfless and gratuitous work of employees. The libraries of European branches of the Geographical Society proved to be the centers for science promotion, and their extensive book exchange contacts with national and foreign scientific institutions contributed to the creation and development of sustainable scientific communications.
