A Call for Research on the Role of Legal Counsel in Promoting (In)Equitable Educational Policies in a Hostile, Anti-DEI Sociopolitical Climate
Authors: Lewis Maria M. , Muñiz Raquel
Published: October 2024

The current climate reflects not only a hostile politicization of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work but also an institutionalization of anti-DEI sentiments through legislation and litigation, leaving educational institutions to operate within a hyper-legalistic environment. Although there are a large number of education attorneys who interface regularly with educational institutions, the field of education knows very little about contemporary models of collaboration between attorneys for educational institutions and the values that inform these collaborations. In this article, we aim to illustrate the significant role of attorneys for P–20 educational institutions, the need for more research to help us better understand existing strengths and limitations, and ways to harness this role in meaningful ways to further DEI commitments.
Uterine prolapse observed during and immediately after parturition in three dogs: case report and literature review
Authors: Aksu Anıl Gürkan , Ferahoğlu Volkan , Büyükbudak Fatih , İnan İpek , Fındık Murat , Ay Serhan Serhat
Published: October 2024

Uterine prolapse (UPR) in bitches is a rare obstetric emergency. Generally, it occurs within 48 hours postpartum in bitches. Opposite this datum, in this case report three instances of UPR presented as two during parturition and one at 40 days postpartum. Besides one of them, which occurred during labor, was complicated by uterine rupture. Although no definitive etiology has been determined, it seems that the leading cause is weakness in pelvic connective tissues. Factors contributing to UPR include excessive relaxation of pelvic ligaments, difficult labor, and excessive straining. The extracellular matrix (ECM), composed mainly of collagen and elastin, is crucial in maintaining tissue integrity. Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and relaxin significantly affect the ECM’s structure during pregnancy and parturition, influencing pelvic elasticity and uterine strength. Besides, our cases showed that poor body condition, parity, age, and breed predisposition are also suspected as contributing factors. All the animals were treated by surgery. Three cases show mothers and/or puppies may survive with timely and appropriate surgery. Besides, we believe that ovariohysterectomy is the best treatment choice with both survivor and prevention effects. However, to clearly define both the primary factors and co-factors speculated by this report, further research is required to investigate.
When credit cards become business capital: Decoding financialization in Indonesia
Authors: Nasrum Muhammad
Published: October 2024

This article presents an anthropological study on credit card use in Indonesia. It focuses on cultural and social knots that mutually influence financial knowledge and experience using the concepts of performativity and temporality in relation to the rapid process of financialization. By focusing on the credit card community in Indonesia, this article explains how they strategize their financial algorithms in the credit card management cycle. This article contributes to anthropological research on the unequal impact of credit card use by exploring the complex relationship between access to financial and ethical justice, variations in cultural contexts, and social hierarchies. The research examines how financial temporality is created through material and institutional practices. The findings presented in this article underscore the importance of considering credit card activities within a broader framework of financialization and complex social dynamics in contemporary Indonesia and other similar contexts. This study contributes to theoretical discussions on the social and cultural elements of financialization by providing an in-depth and specific narrative analysis of credit and debt.
Common and unique menopause experiences among autistic and non-autistic people: A qualitative study
Authors: Piper Martha Ann , Charlton Rebecca Ann
Published: October 2024

Background: Evidence suggests that autistic people face additional challenges as they navigate menopause, as well as those faced by non-autistic women. Methods: This study used semi-structured interviews with fifteen autistic and fourteen non-autistic adults, all assigned female at birth, to explore experiences of menopause. Results: Thematic analysis yielded four overarching themes: information about menopause, experiences of menopause, medical support for menopause and backdrop to the menopause. Each of these contained subthemes which indicated both shared and unique experiences between the groups. Both groups reported a lack of information about menopause, endured negative psychological changes during menopause and experienced menopause alongside other important life events. Autistic people faced unique challenges during menopause, including medical professionals not accommodating autistic differences, uncertainty-induced anxiety during menopausal changes and the lifelong impact of living without an autism diagnosis. Conclusions: This study highlights the need for bespoke care for this group during the menopause transition.
Self-Esteem and Materialism in Preschool Children: the Role of Theory of Mind and Parental Material Indulgence
Authors: Trzcińska Agata , Podsiadłowski Wojciech , Golus Patrycja , Wieleszczyk Jowita
Published: October 2024

Recent studies indicate that even preschool children can develop materialistic tendencies. In a sample of 219 children attending Polish preschools (47% female, Mage = 65.30 months, SD = 12.18, all White) and their parents (84% female, Mage = 38.27 years, SD = 4.78), we assessed children's materialism, self-esteem, theory of mind, and parental material indulgence. Moderation analyses revealed that the relation between self-esteem and materialism becomes apparent with the development of theory of mind (R2 = .15). Furthermore, we found that this effect may be amplified by high levels of parental material indulgence (R2 = .17 for the co-moderating model). Our findings provide new insights into how child development and parental behavior interact to influence a child's materialistic tendencies.
Toward a More Powerful Experimental Communication Science: An Assessment of Two Decades’ Research (2001-2023)
Authors: Sun Ye , Shen Lijang , pan zhongdang , Qian Sijia
Published: October 2024

Low statistical power undermines a credible scientific discipline. This paper presents a statistical power assessment of experimental communication research based on a random sample of 416 studies published in five central communication journals over the last two decades (2001–2023). Our analyses showed that there was a lack of attention to power and power analysis, with the majority of studies not even mentioning statistical power. We also demonstrated that between-subjects studies were overall underpowered for two-group, one-way multi-group, and factorial designs. Our findings suggest that conducting power analyses to ensure adequate statistical power should be a key priority for experimental communication research.
DORI Index: Measuring Diversity in Representative Institutions
Authors: Acquarone Iris E.
Published: October 2024

How diverse are political institutions? Despite the theoretical and political relevance of this question, there is no standard measure of diversity in political institutions, limiting systematic research on diversity of representation. To address this gap, I introduce the Diversity of Representation Index (DORI), a multidimensional metric that quantifies diversity within political institutions by considering the variety and balance of represented groups and the proportionality of their representation relative to their population size—i.e., their descriptive representation. Using examples from national parliaments in Canada and Germany, and data on the presence of women and African Americans in all 50 U.S. state legislatures and their populations from 2009 to 2021, I illustrate DORI's application and properties. I demonstrate the significance of assessing diversity and explore its implications for policy outcomes. DORI offers a valuable tool for representation studies, enabling empirical analysis of the multidimensional nature of political representation.
Group-to-Individual Generalizability and Individual-Level Inferences in Cognitive Neuroscience
Authors: Mattoni Matthew , Fisher Aaron Jason , Gates Kathleen , Chein Jason , Olino Thomas M
Published: October 2024

Much of cognitive neuroscience research is focused on group-averages and interindividual brain-behavior associations. However, many theories core to the goal of cognitive neuroscience, such as hypothesized neural mechanisms for a behavior, are inherently based on intraindividual processes. To accommodate this mismatch between study design and theory, research frequently relies on an implicit assumption that group-level, between-person inferences extend to individual-level, within-person processes. The assumption of group-to-individual generalizability, formally referred to as ergodicity, requires that a process be both homogenous within a population and stationary within individuals over time. Our goal in this review is to assess this assumption and provide an accessible introduction to idiographic science (study of the individual) for the cognitive neuroscientist, ultimately laying a foundation for increased focus on the study of intraindividual processes. We first review the history of idiographic science in psychology to connect this longstanding literature with recent individual-level research goals in cognitive neuroscience. We then consider two requirements of group-to-individual generalizability, pattern homogeneity and stationarity, and suggest that most processes in cognitive neuroscience do not meet these assumptions. Consequently, interindividual findings are inappropriate for the intraindividual inferences that many theories are based on. To address this challenge, we suggest precision imaging as an ideal path forward for intraindividual study and present a research framework for complementary interindividual and intraindividual study.
Robustness of the Mind-Body Interface: case studies of unconventional information flow in the multiscale living architecture
Authors: Kofman Karina , Levin Michael
Published: October 2024

Neuroscience, and behavioral science more broadly, seek to characterize the relationship between functional cognition and the underlying processes operating in living tissue. The current paradigm focuses heavily on the brain, and specific mechanisms thought to underlie mental content and capabilities. One of the most interesting approaches to any field, which often leads to progress, is to highlight data which do not comfortably fit a specific dominant framework. Here, we review clinical and laboratory data in several unconventional systems which are not predicted by the current models in the field. Reduced brain mass or absent brain tissue without the expected loss of function (e.g. hydrocephalus, hemihydranencephaly), discrepancies between cognitive state and brain function (e.g. accidental awareness during anesthesia, terminal lucidity), and cases of cognitive abilities exceeding the apparent skill of the individual, all highlight interesting features of the immense plasticity of the mapping between cognition and its living substrate. These cases suggest new avenues for research that at the very least stretch existing frameworks, and parallels to discoveries being made in the emergent form and behavior of synthetic constructs. We speculate on a roadmap for the study of interesting and still poorly-understood features of embodied minds that could be impactful for biomedicine and engineering, as well as foundational philosophical issues.
The Application of APT in Predicting the Stock Performance through a Macro Variable Model Approach
Authors: Riantani Suskim , Gusni  , Komariah Siti
Published: October 2024

The Arbitrage Pricing Model (APT) is extensively applied by finance scholars, integrating macroeconomic factors to forecast stock price trends and returns. The macroeconomic variables in APT used to predict stock performance in this research are the rate of inflation, the Indonesian exchange level, the monetary supply, and the rate of interest. Stock performance is measured through actual stock returns. The research method employs descriptive verification analysis with a numerical method. The study was undertaken in the Agriculture Industry, specifically the Plantation Subsector of Palm Oil Commodities traded on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Observations were made in the timeframe of 2020-2022 on 17 stock issuers. Sampling was conducted utilizing the purposive sampling technique. Data examination utilized multiple linear modeling after first conducting classical assumption tests, which comprise data tests of normality, heteroskedasticity tests, tests for multicollinearity and autocorrelation. The research model was tested employing the F-test and t-test to examine the research hypotheses at a 5% significance level. The findings of the study indicate that inflation significantly impacts actual returns of stock with a negative relationship. Meanwhile, the foreign exchange rate, money supply, and rate of interest do not have a considerable impact on actual stock returns.

This research aimed to: 1) study the current state, desired state, and necessary needs in academic administration to develop proactive learning management for teachers in Sarasas affiliated schools, and 2) explore approaches to academic administration for enhancing proactive learning management among teachers in Sarasas schools. The sample group consisted of 159 Sarasas school administrators. The research tools included questionnaires, interviews, and content analysis. The reliability of the current state assessment was 0.975, and the desired state assessment was 0.959. Data was analyzed using basic statistics such as percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The assessment of necessary needs in academic administration to develop proactive learning management for teachers in Sarasas-affiliated schools was conducted using the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNImodified) to rank needs. The current state of academic administration to develop proactive learning management for teachers in Sarasas affiliated schools was generally at a high level. When considering individual aspects, the highest average score was in evaluation and assessment, while the lowest was in curriculum development. The desired state of academic administration to develop proactive learning management for teachers in Sarasas-affiliated schools was also at a high level. The aspect with the highest average score was teaching and learning management, and the lowest was curriculum development. The ranking of necessary needs for academic administration to develop proactive learning management for teachers in Sarasas affiliated schools, from most to least needed, was curriculum development, teaching and learning management, and evaluation and assessment. The approaches to academic administration to develop proactive learning management for teachers in Sarasas affiliated schools included: for curriculum development, establishing a curriculum committee, analyzing the school context, setting goals to adjust the curriculum structure, studying theories, promoting competence development for future readiness, adding courses that align with local arts, culture, and community needs, conduct research to improve efficiency, and monitor teaching outcomes; for teaching and learning management, understand student needs, adjust teaching according to different groups, encourage diverse activities, create a confident learning environment, stimulate thinking through questions and experiments, provide feedback, and evaluate progress; for evaluation and assessment, develop assessment tools, conduct continuous evaluations, use feedback to improve transparency, and enhance teachers' skills.
Exploring Open Science and Research Ethics in the Basic Sciences: Findings from a Qualitative Study
Authors: Manco Vega Alejandra
Published: October 2024

New forms of questionable research practices (QRP) and even scientific misconduct practices are emerging in an open science environment. This work documents this transformation in three very different countries, Brazil, France, and Peru, using semi-structured interviews with researchers working in basic sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The significant findings are that the hierarchical structure of academia contributes to the spread of research misconduct, and QRP and open science practices can potentially serve as effective tools for preventing and detecting these issues; however, it is the hierarchical structure of academia which undermines its effectivity as behaviours hiding misconducts go unnoticed. The main conclusion is that power relations between different actors in academia are still very present despite the countries' different ethical norms and the researchers' open science practices. The main recommendation is to work on aligning open science policies and policies on ethics and QRPs.
Advanced Energy Forecasting Using IoT - Enabled SCADA Systems
Authors: Baig Talha Imtiaz , Iqbal Ahsan
Published: October 2024

With the substantial increase in global renewable energy production, real-time data has become essential for the efficient management of these resources particularly offshore and distant installations. A supervisory control and data acquisition system is a system that sends individual messages or directives to the external world. In this research paper, we introduce a SCADA system integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor a hybrid system that includes hydropower, solar energy, wind, and tidal power. It provides a range of control functions for supervisors to manage and configure settings effectively. The goal is to achieve energy autonomy and promote sustainable economic growth. This technology makes it easier to administer the warning system, data logging, data monitoring and control system, and generated capacity, among other features of the station’s information. Additionally, a data packet and WiFi analyzer are used to measure the communication parameters and overall performance of the Internet of Things-based SCADA system. In addition, historical energy generation data is used to evaluate and identify what factors are impacting the output of hydropower stations. This data is then utilized to forecast the production levels for the upcoming year through the application of time series analysis.
Is an extrovert actually creative? An investigation in VR on the relationship between explicit and implicit indices of creativity and personality traits
Authors: Lucifora Chiara , Scorolli Claudia , Vicario Carmelo Mario , Gangemi Aldo
Published: October 2024

The connection between personality and creativity has captured the interest of the scientific community, showing controversial results about the specific personality traits that are able to influence the human creativity. To better investigate this relationship, our study employees both explicit measures such as self-report questionnaires about personality, creativity and emotions and implicit measures, we utilize a virtual reality environment in which users can create artistic artworks, enabling us to conduct an ontological analysis on the virtual artworks. The aim of our study is twofold, on one side we want to assess the correlation between scores on personality traits and creativity traits; on the other side we want to explore how personality traits may influence user’s creative skills, during a creative task in VR. Our findings support previous studies about the relationship between extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness and creativity; and they also reveal new insights about the influence of personality on the artistic skills of the subjects.
Watt’s the Risk?: Public Understanding of Battery Usage and Storage in the United States
Authors: Segrè Cohen Alex , Bunquin Jon Benedik
Published: October 2024

Given the increasing reliance on batteries for everyday technology and large-scale energy solutions, particularly in climate change mitigation, understanding public perceptions of battery usage and storage is crucial. Using an experimental survey, the study examines the role of affect, trust in science, and risk/benefit perceptions in shaping public acceptance of batteries, both for personal use and as a climate change mitigation tool. Post-hoc tests, hierarchical regressions, and Free Word Association Tests were used in the analyses. Results indicate that positive affect and trust in science are key predictors of battery acceptance across both use cases. Importantly, acceptance did not differ by condition, and the experimental condition (household vs. climate) did not moderate the effect of ideology, suggesting that battery technologies may be perceived as inherently linked to environmental issues, regardless of how they are framed. The study highlights the need for targeted communication strategies that balance the promotion of battery technology with transparency about its risks to improve public understanding and support for battery innovations.
A Case Study on Detecting ChatGPT-Generated Responses in Personality Assessments: Methods and Implications
Authors: Tu Naidan , Guo Feng , Zhang Bo , Nie Weiwen
Published: October 2024

As the accessibility of advanced AI tools such as ChatGPT increases, there are growing concerns about the potential misuse of these technologies to manipulate responses in personality assessments. This research addresses this concern by focusing on detecting ChatGPT-generated responses to personality items. Three studies were conducted: Study 1 explored the item level response patterns of ChatGPT to three widely used personality assessments and found that ChatGPT always responded the same to certain items, regardless of the job titles included in the prompts. Study 2 developed a detection tool based on the findings from Study 1 and used two large datasets to evaluate its performance. It was found that the Type I error rates were 0, indicating no genuine human responses were falsely flagged by the detection tool. Study 3 compared the responses of ChatGPT to job applicant responses at the subscale level and found that ChatGPT outperformed job applicants in inflating scores on all three personality measures, regardless of whether they measure bright or dark personality traits.
Iron deficiency negatively affects behavioral measures of learning, indirect neural measures of dopamine, and neural efficiency
Authors: Rhoten Stephanie , Wenger Michael , De Stefano Lisa
Published: October 2024

Iron deficiency (ID) is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency in the world,with a growing literature documenting the negative effects of ID on per-ception, attention, and memory. Animal models of ID suggest that dys-regulation of dopamine is responsible for the deficits in memory. However,evidence that ID affects dopamine in humans is extremely limited. We re-port the results of a study involving college-aged women with and without IDlearning two different category structures—a rule-based and an information-integration structure—selected based on the putative differential role ofdopamine in learning these two structures. ID non-anemic (IDNA) andiron sufficient (IS) women completed 1200 learning trials for each structure.EEG was collected to assess effects of ID on features affected by dopaminergicstate: error related negativity (ERN) and positivity (Pe), feedback-relatednegativity (FRN), and task-related blink rate. In addition, we examined theEEG data for dynamics distinguishing IDNA from IS women, including ameasure of neural efficiency. Both groups of women were able to learn bothstructures. However, IDNA women were initially slower and less accuratethan IS women, specifically for the rule-based structure. There were largeand persistent group differences on the measures of brain dynamics and neu-ral efficiency. Results are discussed with respect to the selective impact ofID on initial rule-based learning and the persistent effect of ID on dopaminesignaling and energetic efficiency
Wisdom in time: Reconciling static measurement with dynamic theories of intellectual humility, open-mindedness, and perspective-taking
Authors: Grossmann Igor , Smith Jackson A , Wegenschimmel Neil , Diep Peter , Dorfman Anna
Published: October 2024

We reflect on the concept of wisdom from a social psychological lens, with particular focus on the discrepancy between dynamic theories of wisdom and the largely atemporal nature of existing empirical evidence. Upon reviewing theoretical models of the key components of wisdom such as intellectual humility, open-mindedness, and empathy/perspective-taking, we outline how these characteristics differ across situational contexts. Next, we posit that the temporal dimension—essential to virtually all theories of wisdom—is paradoxically neglected or misinterpreted in empirical studies. Our findings are supported by a systematic review of literature, demonstrating that many conclusions about the development and effects of wisdom are based on insufficient, atemporal data. We outline several steps to address these challenges in wisdom and social psychological research more broadly, including enhanced sampling and modelling practices, to foster a temporally precise, social psychological understanding of wisdom-related characteristics.
Legal means of protection against abuse of the right of public participation in the decision-making process in environmental matters – current situation in the Slovak Republic
Authors: Košičiarová Soňa
Published: October 2024

The Aarhus Convention guarantees several procedural rights which the concerned public can actively use as long as it is involved in the environmental impact assessment procedure. This international treaty assumes that the affected public uses its procedural rights with the intention of ensuring the protection of the environment. In practice, however, this may not be the case. Using a specific example from Slovakia, the author points to a case where there was a suspicion that a non-governmental organization was using its subjective rights pursuing a goal other than it is required by the Aarhus Convention. The administrative authorities believed that such behavior could be an abuse of the procedural rights guaranteed by the Convention and therefore they sought legal tools within the administrative law, the use of which would not be in conflict with the Aarhus Convention. This article addresses the issue of legal limits that prevent parties from restricting the procedural rights of the concerned public guaranteed by the Aarhus Convention.

The introduction provides a comprehensive analysis of the convergence of statistics and criminology, highlighting the significance of statistical methodologies in comprehending and mitigating criminal conduct and augmenting the efficacy of the criminal justice system via statistical techniques. The following section examines statistical analysis's impact on comprehending crime trends, facilitating policy development, and constructing effective crime prevention tactics. Real-world case studies show statistical analysis's practical use and beneficial effects in criminological practice. Notwithstanding the many benefits, it is indispensable to acknowledge and examine the possible obstacles and constraints associated with using statistical analysis in criminology. These include but are not limited to difficulties about data quality, ethical considerations, and resource constraints. Considering the abovementioned factors, we propose prospective resolutions and alternative measures to address these obstacles effectively. In anticipation of forthcoming developments, we draw attention to emerging patterns and advancements in the field, including big data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, which have the potential to augment the capabilities and efficacy of statistical analysis within the realm of criminology. The conclusion effectively integrates the main topics examined, affirming the crucial significance of statistical analysis in the progression of criminological research, policy formulation, and practical implementation. Furthermore, it highlights the contribution of statistical analysis towards establishing safer communities and a fairer criminal justice system.
СУЧАСНІ ЗАСАДИ ФОРМУВАННЯ ЗБРОЙНИХ СИЛ НАТО ЯК ОСНОВА ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ МІЖНАРОДНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ
Authors: Біліченко Вадим
Published: October 2024

У статті проаналізовані сучасні засади формування збройних сил НАТО як основа забезпечення міжнародної безпеки. Зазначено, що у Великобританії існує ретельний відбір кадрів у збройні сили. Комплектування збройних сил у Великобританії здійснюється на добровільній основі. Підготовка офіцерського корпусу характеризується цілісністю і безперервністю. Значна увага приділяється прищепленню курсантам (слухачам) командирських (лідерських) навичок, заняттям спортом та участі в тактичних навчаннях. У Великобританії існує принцип кар’єрного розвитку офіцерського складу. Його суть полягає в тому, що врахування різних кадрових дій (ротації, призначення на посади, присвоєння звань тощо) проводиться не на підставі вікових показників, а на підставі вислуги (термінів) проходження військової служби. Крім того, близько 30% кадрових офіцерів у збройних силах Великобританії проходили навчання на курсах позавійськової підготовки при цивільних  закладах вищої освіти.
У частинах та підрозділах збройних сил Німеччини професійна підготовка складається з навчання та бойової підготовки. Кадри у збройних силах ретельно відбираються, враховуючи освіту, яку вони мають, а також навички та досвід. Система підготовки офіцерів Німеччини являє собою низку етапів навчання в офіцерській школі родів військ, в одному з університетів бундесверу, військового стажування та безпосередньої служби у військах на різних штабних і командних посадах. У збройних силах Німеччини психологічна підготовка вважається обов’язковою для військовослужбовців всіх родів військ, яка включає підготовку до бойових дій, стресостійкість, мотиваційні фактори до військової служби, подолання конфліктів тощо.
У Франції існують військові ліцеї, які надають початкову освіту. Система підготовки офіцерів має багатоступеневу освіту та постійний відбір кадрів. У Франції створена суттєва матеріальна підтримка військовослужбовців, зокрема відповідна заробітна плата, надбавки за особливі умови служби, призначені для компенсації ризиків, переміщення та тривале перебування закордоном; сприяння у купівлі або оренді житла; допомога членам сімей у працевлаштуванні, допомога у реабілітації після звільнення зі служби, пенсійне забезпечення тощо.
СУЧАСНА СИСТЕМА І СТРУКТУРА ДЕРЖАВНОГО КОНТРОЛЮ У СФЕРІ ОХОРОНИ ЗДОРОВ’Я
Authors: Кухар Ігор
Published: October 2024

У статті досліджені система і структура державного контролю у сфері охорони здоров’я. Розглянуті адміністративно-правові й інституціональні аспекти державного контролю у сфері медичної допомоги. Визначено, що забезпечення ефективних гарантій реалізації прав громадян в області охорони здоров’я є одним з основних векторів державної політики, що реалізовується у рамках професійної діяльності різних інститутів державного контролю. Особливе значення цієї складової державної політики обумовлене в першу чергу макроекономічними причинами, що сформували стійку тенденцію зниження чисельності активного працездатного населення.
Встановлено, що основним предметом державного контролю у сфері сучасної української охорони здоров’я є, з одного боку, безпека медичної діяльності, з іншої – якість надання медичної допомоги.
Таким чином, особливості реалізації державного контролю у сфері охорони здоров’я, передбаченої законодавством про охорону здоров’я і здійснюваного в умовах сучасної української повсякденності, обумовлені, з одного боку, пропусками адміністративно-правового регулювання відповідної сфери адміністративних стосунків, а з іншої – дублюванням цих норм у рамках правового поля діяльності наглядових органів, а також повноважень інститутів, що здійснюють контроль.
Представляється, що подібне положення сприяло переважанню формалізованих, бюрократичних принципів медичної діяльності по охороні здоров’я цивільного населення, що виразилися, по-перше, в низькій якості обов’язкових медичних оглядів, по-друге, в погіршенні загального стану здоров’я працездатного населення, що здійснює професійну діяльність в різних сферах соціальної зайнятості, по-третє, у збільшенні фінансових і матеріальних державних витрат у зв’язку з необхідністю соціальних виплат, передбачених змістом національної політики, що реалізовується у сфері соціального страхування. Визначено, що рішення цих проблем носить принциповий характер, обумовлений особливою значущістю організації і надання медичної допомоги цивільному населенню в Україні.
МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ ПРИНЦИПИ УПРАВЛІННЯ ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЮ ТРАНСПОРТНО-ЛОГІСТИЧНОЇ СИСТЕМИ
Authors: Молибога Руслан
Published: October 2024

У статті проаналізовані наукові підходи до понять «транспортно-логістична система», «управління», «ефективність», «управління ефективністю». Зазначено, що транспорт, будучи однією з найбільших базових галузей світової та національних економік, відноситься одночасно до найважливішого системотворчого чинника, стан якого визначає й інші аспекти розвитку соціальної та виробничої інфраструктур. Глобалізація світової економіки дедалі явніше окреслює нову підсистему світової та національних економічних систем – транспортно-логістичну. Більш явна інтеграція функцій транспортної галузі з функціями логістичних систем відбувалася послідовно та стала природним продовженням процесів прискорення товарних, пасажирських та інших матеріальних і нематеріальних потоків, зростання їх обсягів, ускладнення їх структури, зміни політичної ситуації та правового середовища, а також багатьох інших причин. В останні роки транспортно-логістична система змінила свій «міжнародний економічний статус», перетворившись на міжгалузеву систему, функціями якої є перетворення умов життєдіяльності та господарювання.
Обґрунтовано, що управління ефективністю складних управлінських систем має органічний взаємозв’язок з ефективністю функціонування таких систем, відбиваючи мету системи управління зі створення сприятливих умов (організаційних, економічних, правових, інституційних, технологічних та ін.) реалізації цілей та завдань керованої підсистеми. Під ефективністю по відношенню до механізмів управління транспортно-логістичними системами розуміємо відповідність поставлених цілей та завдань розвитку транспортно-логістичних систем до отриманих результатів за підсумками прийняття управлінських, організаційних, технічних та інших заходів; співвідношення отриманих результатів із витратами для отримання цих результатів у детальній розбивці за окремими компонентами функціонування транспортно-логістичних систем; ступінь галузевої відповідності фактичних показників ефективності аналогічним у порівняних за параметрами транспортно-логістичних систем.
Охарактеризовані чотири види принципів управління ефективністю транспортно-логістичних систем: по-перше, принципи ефективного цілепокладання та планування (відповідність стратегічному та поточному цілепокладання; взаємозв’язок показників); по-друге, принципи ефективної організації (вибір відповідальних осіб, адекватність організаційної структури управління транспортно-логістичною системою; деталізація завдань); по-третє, принципи ефективної реалізації (економічна доцільність, реалізованість); по-четверте, принципи ефективного контролю (вимірюваність, періодичність).

Published: October 2024

Chronic social stress caused by repeated negative experiences in agonistic interactions induces depressive-like behavior in male mice. The aim of the study was to study changes in the expression of genes encoding proteins involved in the metabolism, reception, and transport of catecholamines, opioids, glutamate, and GABA under the influence of chronic stress. Hypothalamic samples were sequenced using RNA-Seq. It was shown that the expression of the catecholaminergic genes Adra1b, Adrbk1, Comtd1, Ppp1r1b, Sncb, Sncg, and Th in depressed animals is increased, while the expression of the Maoa and Maob genes is reduced. The expression of the opioidergic and cannabinoidergic genes Pdyn, Penk, Pomc, Pnoc, Ogfr, and Faah was upregulated, while that of the Oprk1, Opcml, Ogfrl1, and Cnr1 genes was downregulated. The expression of the glutamatergic genes Grik3, Grik4, Grik5, Grin1, Grm2, and Grm4 was increased, while the expression of the Gria3, Grik1, Grik2, Grin2a, Grin3a, Grm5, Grm8, and Gad2 genes was reduced. The expression of the GABAergic genes Gabre, Gabbr2, and Slc6a11 was higher, while the expression of the Gabra1, Gabra2, Gabra3, Gabrb2, Gabrb3, Gabrg1, Gabrg2, and Slc6a13 genes was lower in depressed animals. The data suggest that gene products that interact with other neurotransmitter systems (Th, Gad2, Gabra1, Gabrg2, Grin1, and Pdyn) may be of interest as potential targets for pharmacological correction of the consequences of social stress.
The impact of geopolitical processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina on urban development and cultural identity
Authors: Mandić M. , Delić D.
Published: October 2024

The historical-geographical development of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) in the area of the fusion of Western and Eastern Christian civilizations and the Orient resulted in ethnic and religious heterogeneity, occasional political crises and ethnic conflicts that shaped the cultural identity and character of the entire development. BH was separated from the Yugoslav community in the conditions of the civil war. After the war in 1995, a complex administrative-territorial organization of the new state was established, based on the ethnic and religious affiliation of the population. At the same time, the transition of the socialist social system took place, as well as other geopolitical processes and social changes in the Western Balkans initiated by globalization. The paper focuses on cultural disintegration and changes in urban identity and development of cities through the analysis of the six largest urban centers as indicators of social changes in BH. The results of the analysis suggest that there has been a cultural differentiation of society, which is reflected in changes in the ethnic and religious structure of the population and their spatial distribution. Economic stagnation and depopulation of urban centers, as a consequence of the civil war and social reforms, were confirmed by a comparative analysis of statistical indicators of economic and demographic development. Cultural changes were determined by relevant scientific methods and approaches: historical-geographical method, comparative analysis of statistics of demographic indicators and changes in spatial distribution, ethnic and religious structure of the population, and economic changes by analysis of employment in sectors of the economy. The scientific results of previously published papers devoted to some of the mentioned problems, primarily economic development and population dynamics in BH and its large cities, were also taken into account. In this paper, social changes are observed through the cause-and-effect relationships of geopolitical and cultural processes (political, economic and cultural disintegration), social and economic reforms (ownership transition and deindustrialization) and their manifestations on cultural identity and the development of urban centers.
