While most studies on digital financial inclusion highlight its positive aspects, we focus on the surveillance phenomenon by investigating the role played by microcredit agents who operate digital financial platforms. We combine the concepts of surveillance capitalism and platform capitalism within the digital financial inclusion process and propose a surveilled inclusion model that considers the role of human agents interacting with clients to expand the network effects and control of the digital platform in a dialectic interplay. We combine an instrumental/in-depth case study and critical hermeneutics as methodological strategies to produce results that help to uncover the hidden agenda of social fintech organizations that use digital platforms to provide microcredit. In addition, we expand Zuboff’s concept of surveillance capitalism by including the role of microcredit agents who reinforce the imprisonment of clients in endless cycles of payment and credit renewal.

Knowledge commons play a pivotal role in knowledge creation and sharing in the digital economy.
The motivation for this research was the opportunity to develop a knowledge commons for IT service
management (ITSM) practitioners. To obtain guidance to design the knowledge commons, we
critically reviewed commons design principles (DPs) that were based on a well-established
economics theory. We observed that the commons DPs had significant gaps when applied to IS
practice. Hence, we developed an alternate set of DPs that we refer to as platform-enabled knowledge
commons (PEKC) DPs that are relevant to IS practice. This paper discusses the development of
PEKC DPs and applies them in instantiating an IS artifact, Service-Symphony. Service-Symphony is
a purpose-built, public-facing knowledge repository developed for the benefit of ITSM practitioners
and students. Our research followed the design science research (DSR) paradigm and contributes to
the body of knowledge by establishing a multigrounded design theory comprising meta-requirements
and DPs. To bridge theory and practice, we assessed the reusability of PEKC DPs through focus
group interviews with IS architects. Our case study illustrates the complete life cycle of DPs covering
conceptualization, initial formulation, iterative refinement, application to an important real-world
instantiation, and evaluation by a group of independent IS practitioners.
EPISTEMOLOGY OF EVOLUTIONARY ETHICS
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman Ukraine, Derkach Vadym
Published: September 2023

The article presents the logic of justification of moral norms based on the apparatus of the theory of evolution, reconstruction of the course of anthropogenesis as well as modeling the consequences of accepting a prescription as a norm with a forecast of its acceptability for a particular community. The justification of a moral norm from the side of the decision-making process can be based exclusively on two types of revealed dependencies of the actual world («nature of phenomena»): (1) reconstruction of the historical formation of a specific mechanism for regulating the behavior of an individual in society, which determines its objective characteristics — morality; (2) predicting the consequences of the consolidation of a certain norm, which are expressed in the assessment of the stability of the entity that cultivates this norm in its environment, including competition with other communities, as well as the possibility that this norm will be accepted by this community, given the objective configuration of the already established mechanisms of behavior regulation, mental attitudes and a set of norms and the degrees of freedom in permissible transformations that can be realized in this system in real time. However, no amount of knowledge alone is identical to an internal willingness to act in a certain way, and there is no argumentation that is universally effective in this regard. Likewise, the search for «true good» and some autonomous «morality» as a cognizable criterion of the proper in action, the cognition of which sets a specific system of values, is meaningless. The logic of evolutionary ethics, therefore, does not contain a naturalistic fallacy. The mistake is not that the description of facts and patterns leads to the conclusion that a precept is obligatory, but that this precept is taken out of the context of the objective conditions for the formation of a structure of relations in which an individual is motivated to act, guided by a specific model. However, comprehending the consequences of adopting a certain norm can never lead to an unambiguous conclusion for any rational agent, because the ability to foresee the entire set of moves and consequences is limited, just as the agent himself is never free from his history and the attitudes he has formed.Thus, the search for a universal moral law that defines an absolute system of value coordinates is a futile endeavor, which, however, does not exclude the possibility that in the course of the development of societies, moral norms are modified so that these communities become more stable when compared to their predecessors in some horizon of the predicted course of events.

Published: September 2023

The literature review is dedicated to the topical subject in current endocrinology and gynecology – clitoromegaly. At present, clitoromegaly is considered as a symptom of an endocrinological disease associated with impaired testosterone or androgen production. However, in most cases, the cause of the disease cannot be determined. A condition described in the clitoromegaly classification as an "idiopathic clitoromegaly" holds a leading place. Despite an opportunity to perform a successful clitoroplasty in childhood, adult patients with clitoromegaly quite often seek specialists` help. Such girls and women often suffer from anxietydepressive disorders related to social maladjustment associated due to sexological and psychological problems, which requires a sexologist or psychotherapist` supervision and treatment. Here, we provide the data on genetic syndromes accompanied by clitoromegaly. Differential diagnostics algorithms for neonates, young and adult women are proposed.

Introduction. Studies evidence about a relation between increased circulating free DNA (cfDNA) concentrations and chemotherapy, the majority of which have been focused on considering a tumor as a source of cfDNA. It has been suggested that neutrophils also contribute to this process, as cancer-related cfDNA characteristics resemble those of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Therefore, the elevated concentration of cfDNA observed in chemotherapy patients may be associated with NETosis.

Aim: assessment of NETosis markers in surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy of patients with malignant neoplasms of the female reproductive system.

Materials and Methods. A prospective non-randomized interventional controlled study was carried out by enrolling 111 patients with malignant breast diseases and female genital organs of various localizations and stages hospitalized for elective surgical treatment or chemotherapy course. The control group included 33 healthy women. 69 patients underwent surgical treatment. Adjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin was performed in 25 patients with ovarian cancer and 17 patients with breast cancer. In cancer patients, citrullinated histone H3 (citH3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were chosen as NETosis biomarkers allowing to distinguish NETs from other tumor-derived cfDNA thereby improving quality of research study. The concentration of NETosis markers was assessed before surgery or onset of chemotherapy upon admission to hospital and 14 days after surgery or 14 days after the second course of chemotherapy.

Results. In all patients, the concentrations of NETosis markers before the start of therapy were significantly increased compared to the control group as well as 14 days after surgical treatment and 14 days after the second course of chemotherapy. However, in surgical patients, no significantly increased concentration of NETosis markers postvs. pre-surgery magnitude was observed. Upon that, patients underwent 2 courses of chemotherapy vs. baseline level were found to have significantly elevated magnitude of NETosis markers.

Conclusion. The study revealed the relationship between administration of paclitaxel-containing chemotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer and breast cancer and a rise in NETs level. Chemotherapy is an essential component for management of patients with malignant neoplasms of the female reproductive system, therefore, development of new strategies to lower a risk of thrombosis and resistance to it is of crucial importance.

Published: September 2023

An issue of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) in pregnant women and puerperas in Russia as well as throughout the world remains relevant. Specialized events with expert’s participation could not be better to promote active discussion and constructive solution of complex problems, which refer to issues of VTEs prevention. Indeed, not disputable issues can be solved, but critical look and reasoned opinion leader presentations in the field undoubtedly improve our understanding and approaches to prevention of threatening complications in pregnant women and puerperas such as VTEs. In addition, actively discussed new data for dosing of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) in pregnant women will allow to update current clinical guidelines, which would probably improve clinical outcomes of therapy.

BACKGROUND: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are one of the common complications associated with patients stay in a medical organization. An urgent practical problem is the choice of antibiotic therapy for the treatment of patients with nosocomial infections because these infections are caused by antibiotic-resistant strains. HAIs associated with previous hospitalization (HAPH) manifest in patients after discharge from the hospital, and their risk of isolating resistant strains often remains unrecognized by specialists. Thus, more studies are required to examine the structure of HAPH pathogens and patterns of consumption of antibacterial drugs for the treatment of HAPH to further determine antibiotic therapy in these patients.
AIMS: To analyze the use of antibiotic therapy for the treatment of HAPH with known etiological agents and the level of antibiotic resistance.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study analyzed the results of a multicenter descriptive retrospective study based on the Clinics Siberian State Medical University and the State Clinical Hospital No. B.I. Alperovich (Tomsk). A total of 108 HAPH cases were examined according to the medical records of inpatients (Form 003/y). For pharmacoepidemiological analysis, the anatomical therapeutic chemical/defined daily dose (DDD) methodology was used, and antibiotic intake was assessed using the number of established daily doses. The etiological structure of HSV microorganisms was evaluated using the AMRcloud online platform. Quantitative and qualitative indicators were presented as shares (%) and absolute numbers.
RESULTS: In total, 116 isolates from patients with HAPH were assessed. Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli were the dominant pathogens causing HAPH in the overall distribution of pathogens. For the treatment of these patients, a wide range of drugs was used, including 13 groups of antibiotics. In most cases, the parenteral route of drug administration was used: intravenous route, 56.0%; intramuscular, 28.0%; and oral, 16.0%. The DDD analysis showed that antibiotic intake for the treatment of patients with HAPH was 137.8 NDDD/100 bed-days; surgical infection, 48.2 NDDD/100 bed-days (35.0%); and pneumonia, 89.6 NDDD/100 bed-days (65.0%). Cephalosporins were the most commonly used group of antibiotics for both surgical infection and pneumonia, mainly third-generation cephalosporins.
CONCLUSION: Etiological agents of HAPH are phenotypically similar to nosocomial strains. Among antibacterial drugs, cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones were mainly consumed, and HAPH isolates had unfavorable resistance profiles to these drugs.
Digital Divide and the Socially Underprivileged: Focusing on the Digital Divide Issues of the Elderly
Authors:   Research Institute For Life And Culture Sogang University, Lee Sohyun
Published: September 2023

This study analyzes public service advertisements, public campaign videos, and digital care industry advertisement videos to identify the dominant perspective on the digital divide problem of the elderly and to explore the position and meaning of the elderly in digital technology discourse. According to the analysis, public advertisements/campaign texts for bridging the digital divide assume the elderly as the digital weak and the young as the digital strong, and there is a tendency to solve the problem of the digital weak through the practice of the digital strong. This aspect of representation requires reconsideration because it can lead to reinforcing and reproducing negative stereotypes such as dependence and passivity of the elderly. On the other hand, the elderly in advertisements for the digital care industry appear as images of digital users rather than digital weaklings, as users of AI care services. As a result of reproducing the daily life of the elderly with an artificial intelligence care robot, a difference was revealed in the use of digital technology by female seniors and male seniors. It was understood that the dual inequality factors of gender and age were reflected. In the advertisements analyzed, the elderly actively interacting with AI caring robots tended to highlight the digital inclusion of ICT companies that are considerate of the minority and the vulnerable, and digital technology appeared as a friend of the elderly in all texts.
A Case Study on the Establishment of a Community Care System in a Public Institution: Focusing on the Emergency Care Service of the Seoul Social Service Center for Responding to COVID-19
Authors:   Research Institute For Life And Culture Sogang University, Kang Sangjun
Published: September 2023

Infectious disease disasters have a relatively direct and powerful impact on people's daily lives compared to general disasters. Therefore, the ability to respond in a short time is required. However, there is no study examining the integrated command system and coordination of disaster and disaster management and cooperation in disaster governance in the social welfare area. Therefore, this study analyzed the emergency care service of the Seoul Social Service Center. The purpose is to prepare basic data to prepare for new infectious disease disasters that will reappear in the future. At the same time, it is meaningful that the social implications were analyzed. Topics derived from specific research results include institutional and policy attempts and efforts to establish an emergency care system, the role of a control tower for emergency care services, and achievements and future tasks of emergency care services. The social implications analyzed based on the derived themes are that the public care sector recognizes its responsibility and role in preparing a safety protection system for the vulnerable class and establishes an emergency care system, and communication channels for effective operation of emergency care services. and that it played a role of cooperating and coordinating with related organizations. Ultimately, the need for regularization of emergency care emerged, and it was confirmed that efforts to redefine the scope of emergency care after COVID-19 and prepare policies through social discussions were necessary.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in core competencies of social work majors after they participated in a life respect education instructor training program as a extracurricular activity in addition to the regular curriculum. A pretest-posttest experimental design was used with 20 undergraduate social work majors at a community college, and the results of the study were as follows. First, the core competencies of university students who participated in the life-respect education instructor training program increased from before to after the program, indicating that the program was effective in enhancing the core competencies of university students. Second, the mean scores of the core competencies were higher in both the overall mean and sub-scores of the core competencies when theoretical training and on-site lecture practice were combined than when only theoretical training was provided in the comparison activity. Based on these findings, suggestions were made for the development, implementation, and methods of various co-curricular programs for social work students.
Establishment of a lower cut off to diagnose hypothyroidism in Indian pregnant women

Published: September 2023

Thyroid dysfunction is a common disorder in pregnancy which affects both maternal and fetal outcomes. There are very less and limited data on prevalence of hypothyroidism during pregnancy from India because no such big study done till now. This study done to define cut off value of serum TSH level in Indian pregnant women as hypothyroid and maternal and fetal outcomes. This study was planned to establish a lower cut off value for serum TSH to diagnose hypothyroidism in Indian pregnant women.

This is a prospective and retrospective cohort study conducted in a period of 1.5 years between September 2021 to April 2023, in the department of Obstetrics & Gynecology GMC Shahdol in 1000 pregnant women’s who comes in antenatal checkup in OPD.All healthy pregnant women with singleton pregnancy willing to participate in the study were enrolled. Women which have multiple pregnancy, known chronic medical disorder like diabetes, hypertension, any autoimmune disorder with hyperthyroidism or known hypothyroidism, bad obstetric history with a known cause are excluded from study.

However, there are few limitations of this study. We have not assessed trimester specific ranges. Follow up beyond newborn period was not possible because after discharge most infants either did not come for follow up or they were seen in pediatric clinic. We did not carry out thyroid examination using ultrasound, and we have not evaluated other causes of hypothyroidism in these women.

All pregnant women underwent ELISA TSH assay. Women with serum TSH >6.2mIU/L underwent Free Thyroxin (FT4) estimation and labelled as overt hypothyroid (OH) (group I) or subclinical hypothyroid (SCH) (group II). Women with serum TSH between 3-6.2mIU/L & 0.4-3mIU/L were labelled as group III & control. Foeto-maternal outcomes were compared between group I, II,III & controls.

The prevalence of SCH & OH was 6.4% and 3.8%. Pre-eclampsia, gestational DM & IUFD in group I and foetal distress in group II developed in significantly higher number of women (p=0.009, p=0.002, p=0.002 & p=0.004 respectively) Foeto-maternal variables assessed in group III none was significantly different from control group.

There is a high prevalence of hypothyroidism and adverse foeto-maternal outcome is more commonly associated with OH as compared to SCH. TSH 3-6.2mIU/L may be taken as normal during pregnancy in the Indian population. We recommend a higher cut off for serum TSH to diagnose hypothyroidism ie >6.2mIU/L in Indian pregnant women. The strong point of this study is that we have included large number of subjects from India. From this study we know the level of thyroid cut off level in Indian pregnant women’s which can be used for diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.

Published: September 2023

The Alavi Bohras, besides their long and distinguished history, have a distinct culture around food and identity, elements of which are still preserved and active by the Alavi Bohras decades after their settlement in Vadodara. They have a typical food pattern in the mourning month of Muharram, which is the first month of the Islamic calendar.

To document the food anthropology and ethnography of foods, ingredients, and dishes of Alavi Bohra Muslims during Muharram using qualitative methods.

In this cross-sectional study, mixed qualitative methods of ethnographic research were used to understand the diet culture of Alavi Bohras during Muharram – the historic significance of Muharram, assessing the diet quality, type of foods and key ingredients used in cuisines as served in community thaals. Methods like direct observations (n=10 days) of the community kitchen, key informant interviews (n=5) with clerics and cooks, and focus group discussion (n=1) with prominent and learned people of the community.

Based on the observations, interviews, and focus group discussion it was found that Alavi Bohras eat food served through the community kitchen on all nine days including Ashura, during Muharram, Food is consumed from thaal, which essentially has two items each day, a sweet and a savory dish served with a milk-based beverage daily and served ad libitum. The thaal comprises all four food groups - namely cereals, millets; pulses; vegetables, and fruits; and Milk and Milk products, egg, meat and fish, oils and fats (ICMR -NIN, 2011).

This study showcases the culture of Alavi Bohra Muslims during Muharram, the diet quality of Muharram, and Ashura thaal, which is a completely balanced meal, such thaal can be promoted at large and a comparative account of Muharram by Shia and Sunni Muslims. Rich diversity is observed in the thaal wherein all foods from all 4 groups are incorporated, which is considered healthy and nutritious.

Hemangiomas of gingiva mimicking pericoronitis: A case report
Authors: Bharathi S Divya
Published: September 2023

Malformations and vascular tumors can occur anywhere on the body. Hemangiomas, or vascular tumors, are rare at birth, develop quickly during the first six months of life, involute over time, and can occasionally be harmful even though they do not always spread. Uneven vascular networks, known as vascular malformations, are identified by a certain blood vessel type. Hemangiomas is of benign origin and behavioral but, Hemangioma in the oral cavity is of clinical importance. It often mimics other lesions clinically and requires appropriate clinical diagnosis and proper management. Accurate diagnosis of the lesion plays an important role in framing the correct protocols and for delivering the correct treatment. Imaging techniques such as Ultrasound with color doppler may be needed in combination to determine the nature of the blood supply to the lesion either arterial, venous or arteriovenous malformation and can also aid with diagnosis and treatment. It is also beneficial in eliminating non vascular lesions. This paper presents one such interesting case.

Published: September 2023

The article examines the relations between London and the cities of Continental Europe in the first period of the Hundred Years’ War. It is shown that the beginning of the conflict for the citizens of London was associated with the need to strengthen the security of the city, supply armed detachments, subsidize the crown. London maintained contacts with the cities of Continental Europe, primarily Flanders, “English Gascony” and Normandy. The most important area of communication remained trade, which was implemented in various organizational forms, with extensive use of credit. Also, the fields for interaction were the return of runaway apprentices, the solution of property and inheritance disputes, issues of compensation in case of robbery and murder of merchants. It is concluded that the Hundred Years’ War created additional opportunities for enrichment, but also increased the risks that the citizens had to take into account.

Kalmyk National District and the problem of choosing its administrative center
Authors:   Pyatigorsk State University, Akopyan Zaven V.
Published: September 2023

This article is devoted to the formation of the Kalmyk National District on the Don and the problem of determining its administrative center at the turn of the 1920–1930s. The author, noting the positive phenomena that occurred in the life of the Don Kalmyks as part of the national district (education, preservation of national identity), draws attention to the artificial nature of the creation of this national district in the absence of compact residence of the Don Kalmyks. When organizing it, the interests of the Russian population included in the district, as well as many Kalmyks, who preferred to move to the Kalmyk Autonomous Republic even before the liquidation of the national district in 1944, were not taken into account. Even the administrative center of the Kalmyk district has not acquired a national appearance.
PROTO-SLAVONIC COMPOUND WORDS WITH *SLAV- ʻFAMEʼ, ʻGLORYʼ, ʻRUMOURʼ: SYSTEM RECONSTRUCTION OF «GLORIOUS NAMES» PARADIGM
Authors: Iliadi Alexander I.
Published: September 2023

The paper focuses on the study of historical linguistic research of Proto-Slavonic anthroponyms composites with the stem *slav-. The topicality of this paper is determined by a declining interest in research of Old Slavonic lexical heritage in Slavonic historical and modern anthroponymy. The purpose of study is the description of the structure and semantics of anthroponymic composites with Proto Slavonic component *slav-. The object of the research is Nomina Personalia, taken from Slavonic written sources (namely, collections of Slavonic personal names, to a lesser extent — monuments of different times), which are formed by the way of compounding. Etymological, morphological and lexical-semantic peculiarities of Slavonic proper names as well as reconstructed Proto-Slavonic prototypes constitute the subject of the investigation. As the result of our research, the fragments of the paradigm of Proto-Slavonic compound words with exponent *slav-/*-slavъ are reconstructed; etymological ambiguity of some compound proper names is commented; morphological and semantical (ideological) peculiarities of archaic Slavonic dithematic anthroponyms are highlighted. Conclusions. Proto Slavonic binominal Nomina Propria with the exponent *slav-/*-slavъ are attested as prepositive determinatives as well as a postpositive defined word. Preliminary results of the group recondtruction of the units, which belonged to the viewed lingistical object, indicate the high degree of the stem *slav- productivity. In particular Proto Slavonic vocabulary may be supplemented with 230 prototypes; it is possible to expand geography for a number of previously proposed Proto-Slavonic words. High productivity of the paradigm with the exponent *slav- impels us to make the conclusion about significant culture role of *slav-anthroponyms in the life of Old Slavonic peoples. Lake some other exponents of Proto-Slavonic anthroponymic vocabulary, *slav- was a lexical unit of archaic poetic language used in ritualized actions. Examples of poetic speech demonstrate syntactic counterparts of dithematic personal mames on the basis of which the analyzed anthroponyms perhaps arose. The perspectives for further research are to uncover the system of structurally and etymologically identical dithematical anthroponyms in onomastic vocabulary of Baltic and Iranian languages and comparative analyzis of their cultural semantics.
TECHNIQUES AND METHODS OF TRANSLATION OF CULTURALLY MARKED VOCABULARY IN ARTISTIC TEXT (IN THE SERBIAN AND UKRAINIAN LANGUAGES)
Authors: Novak Olga N. , Rakul Yulia I.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the study of translation methods and techniques used for transferring the culturally marked vocabulary from Serbian language into Ukrainian. The material for the research is the Serbian novel „Ситничарница „Код срећне руке“, written by Goran Petrovich and its Ukrainian variant «Крамничка «З легкої руки», translated by A. Tatarenko. The object of the paper is culturally marked vocabulary and its subject — methods and techniques used for translation the Serbian nationally marked units into Ukrainian language. The study pays particular attention to the revealing the culturally marked lexis units in original novel; considers typological peculiarities of the culturally marked lexicon in a translation aspect; discusses the difficulties in its translation into Ukrainian. The main content of the article is to analyze translation techniques and level of equivalence of the translation. As a result of the research, the concepts of culturally marked vocabulary and background knowledge clarified; the translation methods of onomastic lexicon is determined, the level of adequacy of the translation assessed. The results of the study allow us to draw the following conclusions: proper names can be translated in various techniques: transcription / transliteration, calque, reformulation (sometimes known as equivalence, as usual, for idioms), and descriptive translation with generalization or specification, and so on. The analyzed Ukrainian translation is quite adequate. The prospect of further research is associated with comparative (for related languages) or contrastive (for unrelated languages) method to analyze translations of the same text from different origin as well as in the theoretical comprehension of vocabulary related to the background knowledge of speakers of a certain language, and its practical study.
Coordination of monetary and fiscal policy
Authors: Marszałek Paweł
Published: September 2023

To achieve price stability, coordination of monetary and fiscal polices is required. The importance of coordination results from such premises as understanding the interdependence between monetary and fiscal policy, the role of central bank independence, the instruments-targets relation and financial stability as well. The lack of coordination will result in inferior overall economic performance, whereas providing it will give a better outcome for both policymakers. Therefore, coordination may be treated as the necessary condition for achieving price stability. (original abstract)
The Polish stock market : risk and risk premia
Authors: Zhang Jianhua , Wihlborg Clas
Published: September 2023

This paper analyzes issues related to the pricing of equity in an Eastern European emerging capital market, the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), with the purpose of estimating the CAPM, and the return-risk relationship, using the domestic and the international asset-pricing model. The empirical evidence from a sample of 221 Polish firms listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange indicates that there exists a (sign-) conditional relationship between beta and return when the domestic CAPM is tested. The international CAPM did not perform well in the early days of the transition but since 2000 the Polish stock market seems well integrated. Most likely the local market has been segmented during the early period. The cross-sectional stock returns are positively related to the downside risk variable measured by the semi-deviation from the mean, and the total risk. However, the crosssectional stock returns are also positively related to the unsystematic risk, and negatively related to other downside risk measures. In addition, firm size is found to be positively related to the cross-sectional stock returns, while the book-to-market ratio is found to have no explanatory power as regards the returns.

Social countervailing powers against the globalization of economy and media culture
Authors: Kaczocha Włodzimierz
Published: September 2023

Economic and media globalization is being developed by individuals, groups of people and institutions that accept the idea of particular freedom and stand in opposition to traditional cultural values as well as to the values and principles of democracy. The accomplishment of this idea leads to, G. Soros claims, "market fundamentalism" and "transactional society" where production-distribution-consumption of the goods and the values of media culture are most important - the purpose of human life. Social countervailing powers stand in opposition to this domination of global economic and media institutions and their values. In his article the author expands J.K. Galbraith's theoretical concept of countervailing powers and within its framework he explains the origins and performance of some of anti-globalist movements in Poland and in Europe generally.

Familisation and defamilisation policy in 22 European countries
Authors: Michoń Piotr
Published: September 2023

High employment and activation rates have come to be hallmark of the European Union strategy. To support the economic growth and limit the negative consequences of aging societies Member States have to attract more people into employment. Breaking down the barriers to labour market entry and re-entry, especially for women who take on family responsibilities, has become some kind of signum temporis. But the problem we face is not only how to encourage women to enter the labour market but how to reconcile a number of objectives: achieving gender equity, raising fertility, lowering unemployment, increasing labour market activity, improving the well-being of children. The paper compares state policy towards working families in 22 European OECD countries and their potential consequences for women's labour market activity. It develops and uses a welfare state typology based on the theoretical concept of familisation and defamilisation. After the widely recognised Esping-Andersen's typology of welfare-state has been criticised mostly by feminist authors, scholars all over the world are looking for alternative criteria to identify models which are "gender sensitive" i.e. reflect the gender differences due to caring responsibilities. The debate led to introduce a theoretical concept of (de) familisation which concentrates on the extent to which public policy supports family in its caring function. The paper focuses on the caring function of a modern family and its consequences for women labour market activity. We identify models of state policy based on three criteria: defamilisation of care, familisation of care and defamilisation of cost of the children. The former two were used by other authors but their methods of measuring are questioned in this paper. 'Defamilisation of cost of children' measures the taxes, tools and family benefits which remain unnoticed by many authors. The typology allows the identification of variations of state policies and thus a classification of 22 European countries investigated here. (original abstract)
