Development of teacher education in the Republic of Ghana
Authors:   Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushinsky, Danilova Larisa N.
Published: October 2024

Relevance. Integration of African students into the Russian cultural and educational space is one of the most effective means of fostering friendly bilateral relations in order to implement Russia’s humanitarian policy on the African continent. Pedagogical education can become an important form of cooperation; it may include enrolling foreign students in higher education programs and expanding our work in educational centers abroad. Such a center promoting Russian culture among students was opened in the Republic of Ghana in 2003. However, our understanding of the organization of pedagogical education – primarily the system of teacher training – will contribute to deeper integration into the Ghanaian educational system in order to achieve the above-mentioned objective. We should aim to comprehend the internal structure, objectives, content, management, and evolving directions of the Ghanaian educational system, grounded in its history. The aim of the research is to analyze the contemporary system of teacher training education in the Republic of Ghana. The methodology uses a cultural approach, blending comparative and historical pedagogical methods with analysis of scientific literature, state educational documents, reports of the Ministry of Education and international organizations, enhanced by field observations and interviews with representatives of Ghana’s higher education. The findings reveal a dynamic evolution in Ghana’s higher education system, highlighting its contemporary structure, governance, and educational policies concerning teacher training. Conclusion: the study identifies the principles underpinning the organization of Ghana’s national pedagogical education and notes the active renewal phase of the teacher training system, which aligns with national interests yet relies on international support (methodological and financial). Therefore, at the moment, Ghana is as open as possible for cooperation in teacher training education. Practical application: the research results are valuable for the development of the Center for Open Education in Ghana and for creating joint training programs under the Russian Federation’s Humanitarian Policy abroad. Additionally, the results can contribute to comparative pedagogy courses at university level.
Axiological characteristics of the teacher with a tutor’s viewpoint
Authors:   Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushinsky, Krivun Maria P.
Published: October 2024

The relevance of the research is due to the trends developing in the Russian education that are connected with updating the approaches and principles of the pedagogical activity based on tutorship ideas. The formation of a new pedagogical profession of a tutor in mass educational practice has objectified the problems associated with a unified understanding of the key categories of tutoring by the pedagogical community. These categories determine the essence and peculiarities of professional tutoring. The purpose of the study is to identify the axiological characteristics of the teacher with a tutor’s viewpoint, revealing the specifics of the tutor’s interaction with students and distinguishing the profession of a tutor among other pedagogical professions. The following methods (tools) were used: the review of psychological and pedagogical literature, content analysis, comparison, juxtaposition, generalization, schematization and systematization of the materials on the problem under analysis. The research methodological basis is built on scientific works considering the categories ‘viewpoint’ and ‘professional viewpoint’, studying the essence and peculiarities of the teacher’s tutoring viewpoint. Results: the concept of the ‘viewpoint’ is defined as a system of opinions, principles, and a person’s attitudes to certain aspects of reality, manifested in their behavior and actions. One of the significant aspects of a person’s position is their professional views, which determine the trajectories of life and the professional path. The comparative analysis of researchers’ views on the professional viewpoint in the aspect of one’s pedagogical activity has made it possible to identify the correlation between the pedagogical viewpoint and the level of one’s professional development. The teacher’s viewpoint based on the ideas of tutorship is considered as a specific culture of the pedagogical activity grounded on the ideas of anthropologization and individualization of education. The author proposes the understanding of such categories as ‘a teacher as a tutor’, ‘a teacher with a viewpoint of a tutor’, ‘a teacher with the tutor competence’. On this basis the study distinguishes the principal vectors of one’s professional development in the field of tutoring. Main conclusions: the singled out and theoretically substantiated axiological characteristics of the teacher with a tutor’s viewpoint allow it to be identified among other pedagogical positions and roles as well as to determine the place and purpose of the new profession of a tutor in modern education. Practical significance: the results obtained can be used as meaningful and axiological guidelines in the construction of a system of vocational education in the field of tutoring and the development of educational programs for the professional training of tutors.
PROPER NAMES OF THE SEAS: STRUCTURE, ORIGIN, FUNCTIONING IN UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE
Authors: Torchynskyi M. M. , Torchynska N. M.
Published: October 2024

The main goal of our research is to collect, systematize and analyze the proper names of all seas that are in the Ukrainian language. The purpose of the research involves solving the following tasks: 1) to draw up a register of pelagonyms; 2) determine their denotative and characteristic features; 3) find out etymological and word-forming features; 4) describe the peculiarities of functioning in the Ukrainian language; 5) establish the defining features of this type of proper names. The object of analysis is 238 pelagonyms, and their denotative-characteristic, etymological-word-forming and functional features are the subject of analysis.
In the process of analysis, we used genetic (to determine the origin of proper names), etymological (to find out the features of names creation), descriptive (to determine the extralingual features of pelagonyms), structural (to characterize the structure of names), functional (to describe features related to the functioning of seas names in texts of various styles) research methods and the method of quantitative calculations (to determine the productivity of different types of pelagonyms).
It was established that compound constructions (the most productive models are "noun + adjective" and "noun + noun"), formed by a syntactic method, with combined motivation (in particular, locative-, memorial-, and qualitative-substantial) dominate, they are derived from onyms and appellatives. Geographical terms and anthroponyms or toponyms prevail in their composition. Most pelagonyms are ancient, hybrid, lowfrequency, emotionally neutral names that have a known and obscure etymology, are used in a scientific style, are elements of language (not speech), belong to the passive vocabulary, are unknown to the general public, and are devoid of ethnocultural meaning.
In the future, we plan to pay attention to the general characteristics of other proper names: both open water bodies (for example, loughs or streams), and such categories as oikonyms, oronyms, or choronyms. Over time, this will make it possible to form a complete picture of the Ukrainian toponymy.
INTER-PARTIAL LANGUAGE SYNCRETISM AS A MANIFESTATION OF EXPRESSION
Authors: Dobosevych U. B.
Published: October 2024

In wartime, the internal potential of language reaches its extreme, which is shown through the implementation of expressive means that can be traced in the grammatical plane. The desire for the efficient use of language resources in combination with the revelation of the deep inner potential of each word is known as a phenomenon of interpartial language syncretism, which became the object of analysis in the suggested article. The subject of research is the expressive-emotional potential that arises as a result of semantic-grammatical fusion within syncretic language units. The goal is to identify and describe the syntactic, morphological and semantic factors that create a special expressive effect, and thus to prove that the phenomenon of inter-partial language syncretism can be considered one of the elements of the language game. The research employed the methods of observation and description of linguistic phenomena, structural-semantic and contextual analysis using methods of external and internal interpretation. Media texts and social media discourse of various genres served as the foundational source base.The phenomenon of inter-partial language syncretism, which arises as a result of inter-linguistic transposition of genetically related linguistic units or lexical-grammatical homonymy, possesses significant expressive and emotional potency. Therefore, this phenomenon should be considered as an element of the language game, however, taking into account extralingual factors (the war as a catalyst for the appearance of such innovative linguistic units), it is necessary to emphasize the absence of a humorous connotation. The identification and analysis of such language facts have diverse perspectives in further investigation: 1) it will highlight the criteria and techniques for distinguishing parts of speech; 2) it will outline the semantic, morphological and syntactic features of syncretic language units; 3) it will enrich the repertoire of grammatical means of the language game.

Authors: Dmytriev S.
Published: October 2024

The article explores the theoretical foundations of the cognitive approach to teaching the Ukrainian language in the context of the New Ukrainian School (NUS). The relevance of the research topic lies in the advantages of this approach in developing critical thinking skills, creativity, emotional intelligence, and understanding the global interconnectedness of linguistic and national-cultural paradigms among students. The development of modern methods of teaching the Ukrainian language in school requires the involvement of the latest achievements of domestic linguistic thought in the learning process. The active development of the cognitive direction in Ukrainian linguistics at the end of the 20th — beginning of the 21st century has found its place in the latest technologies for teaching linguistic disciplines in school. Modeling studies of educational situations that illustrate the depth and relevance of the analyzed problem are important.
The adaptation of cognitive linguistics tools to the needs of teaching the Ukrainian language at different educational levels is also considered separately.
The aim of the study is to reveal the basic theoretical foundations of the cognitive methodology for teaching the Ukrainian language and to specify and determine the areas of its practical application in the context of the NUS.
The following main research methods were used in the work: method of content analysis of scientific-theoretical concepts, method of analysis and modeling of educational situations, method of systemic analysis.
The object of the research is the methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language, and the subject is the tools and means of cognitive linguistics research in the system of language education for students.
The cognitive approach to teaching the Ukrainian language in the context of the NUS is a promising direction in modern linguodidactics, with the potential to improve the quality of language education and promote the development of critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, and understanding of the global interconnectedness of linguistic and national-cultural paradigms among students.
OIKONIMICON OF LESYA UKRAINKA’S DRAMATURGY
Authors: Krupenyova T. I.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the semantic features of the oikonyms of Lesya Ukrainka’s drama. The main focus is on connotations acquired by oikonyms in the artistic expression of Lesya Ukrainka. Oikonyms, i.e. proper names of settlements, are historical and cultural heritage, since they reflect historical events, life, culture of the people, as well as their customs and traditions. Semantic, derivational and stylistic features of oikonyms depend on the individual characteristics of the author of the work, genre specificity, time of creation, literary direction and method. The purpose of the article is to analyze the functional load and semantic content of oikonyms that occur in Lesya Ukrainka’s dramatic works. The object of the research is the toponymic vocabulary in Lesya Ukrainka’s drama, the subject is the semantic and functional features of oikonyms as a component of the artistic and figurative system of the work. During our research, a number of methods were used, among which the descriptive method (used to analyze factual material), the quantitative counting method (to indicate the number of oikonyms in the work of art), and elements of the component analysis method, have a leading role. Oikonymicon in the artistic space of Lesya Ukrainka’s dramas is an active artistic technique that illustrates the author’s voice, the author’s concept of the characters and of the work in general, an important factor in character formation and plot development. And even the absence of oikonyms in the context of drama or its muted function becomes the manifestation and shade of the most important thing that the dramatist lays into the artistic background of the work. This helps reveal other problems that the author considers too important and for the sake of which gives life to her poetic masterpieces in pain and exhaustion, which suffered such a difficult stage fate and which are only now being read to full extent by a Ukrainian reader. We define the semantic study of the oikonymy of modern writers as the further direction of our exploration.

Background: Many studies have been conducted to investigate the performance of native sheep in plains and coastal regions, but no studies have been conducted in hilly regions of Bangladesh. Considering this fact, Coastal, Barind and Jamuna River Basin sheep were evaluated for their phenotypic traits, productive and reproductive abilities to gain insights into their performance in the hilly region. Methods: The Coastal, Barind and Jamuna River Basin sheep were collected from Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), Savar, Dhaka for the first time to Regional Station, Naikhongchhari, BLRI and separated based on their phenotypic characteristics. A breeding program was established to ensure purity, using independent culling levels and selection indexes. Ewes were allowed to lamb throughout the year, mated with rams in a 15-20 to 1 ratio. The sheep were kept in a semi-intensive system. Result: The highest lamb birth weight was observed in coastal Region sheep, both male (1.43 kg) and female (1.22 kg), followed by Barind males (1.36 kg) and females (1.15 kg), respectively. The highest average daily gain was found in coastal region sheep (41.87 g/d), which was significantly higher compared to others. The lowest age at first heat, gestation length, age at first lambing, post-partum heat period, days open, lambing interval was observed in Barind sheep. Finally, the study offers valuable insights into the potentialities of native sheep in hilly regions, guiding future research and extension efforts for sheep farming in these areas.

It also examined students’ ability to identify their composition, including their introductory paragraph, supporting sentences, concluding paragraph, supporting sentences, concluding paragraph, and correcting linguistic errors such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation, among other things. Using a qualitative method, data were collected from undergraduate students who enrolled in a creative writing class. Thirteen students, ages twenty to twenty-one, took part in the interview process to find out more about the strategies and resources available to them for enhancing the linguistic accuracy of their writing. The findings revealed that most of the students’ issues were related to language use. Mastering a second language is a different issue, in that, they must learn the grammar, vocabulary, syntactic structures, and other aspects of the new language. Students who had difficulty reading and writing in English had to work harder to develop concepts and thoughts for their writing assignments.

Reinterpretation of the Islamic Education Thought of Burhan al-Islam al-Zarnuji: An Analysis of Islamic Epistemology
Authors: Afwadzi Benny , Ali Nur , Ahdi M. Wafiyul
Published: October 2024

The intellectual contribution of al-Zarnuji has significantly impacted the field of Islamic education. However, certain elements of society perceive his ideas as potential hindrances to contemporary progress. This article attempted to comprehensively reinterpret al-Zarnuji's beliefs through the lens of Islamic epistemology to promote constructive discourse between al-Zarnuji’s intellectual heritage and the dynamics of the modern era. It used a qualitative approach and a literature review method, with the book Ta’lim al-Muta’allim as the primary source. Through an examination of topics related to the diversity of knowledge and its legal dimensions, the intentions underlying the act of learning, and the reverence for knowledge and scholars, this article presents findings that elucidate al-Zarnuji's advocacy of two distinct epistemological paradigms: Bayani and Irfani. Among these paradigms, it is evident that Irfani's epistemology is more dominant than Bayani's. Irfani's reasoning significantly contributes to cultivating moral and spiritual aspects in learners. However, this thinking must not exert excessive hegemony over Islamic education. The most prudent course is maintaining a harmonious equilibrium among the three epistemologies–Bayani, Burhani, and Irfani–to ensure that Islamic education continues to progress.

How Russians see their lives changing in 2022
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Roshchina Ya.M.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the changes in the lives of Russians after February 2022. The answers of respondents indicate that 50.3% had a feeling of anxiety, 26.8% had to save money on food, 14.1% could not afford to go on holiday, and 12.5% went to the cinema and theatre less often. More than one in ten noted that they had to abandon the planned purchase of household appliances and electronics. About 8% of respondents said that they were no longer able to buy the necessary medicines. The same number of respondents noted that they had to refuse the planned purchase of real estate or a car. To the question “Tell me, how has your life changed since the start of the special military operation in February 2022?”, 74% of respondents said that nothing had changed for them; 7.9% said that their lives had indeed changed a lot, but they had successfully adapted to these changes, and 0.3% improved their lives thanks to the changing circumstances. Almost 14% said that it was difficult for them to adapt and 3.9% said that they were unable to cope with the new situation and challenges. At the same time, those who failed to cope successfully or get used to new circumstances were most often observed among the residents of two metropolitan areas (Moscow and St. Petersburg), people with higher education and older people, and the most affluent respondents. Cluster analysis was used to identify five groups of Russians, differing in the degree and direction of changes in life. The largest group (57.8%) believed that there had been no changes in their lives and that their problems were minimal. The most affected by almost every aspect of the crisis were 6.3% of respondents, and for 7.5% the largest problem was saving money on food. Another 11.7% were unable to adapt to the situation, although they encountered difficulties less frequently than Russians on average. Finally, 16.6% of respondents believed that their lives had not changed, but at the same time the vast majority of them noted that they had to save on food.
Income mobility of Russian households in 2018–2022
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Borzykh A. A. , Roshchina Ya. M. ,   HSE University, Moscow,Russian Federation
Published: October 2024

In this paper we use the data from “Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey – Higher School of Economics” (RLMS‑HSE) to analyze the income dynamics and income mobility of Russian households during the period of economic difficulties from 2018 to 2022. We also examine the socio‑demographic characteristics of the most and least mobile households. As the RLMS‑HSE data show, from 2020 to 2022 the income mobility of households increased compared to 2018–2019. However, the richest and poorest groups of households remained the most stable in all four years, with 7.9% of households belonging to the poorest group and 7.5% of households belonging to the richest group in each year. About 33% of households were in the poorest group at least once and 41% were in the richest group throughout the period under consideration. Middle‑income groups were more likely to experience ups and downs in income, and while the 2020–2021 crisis had a greater impact on the stability of poorer households, the financial situation of wealthier households was more volatile in 2022. Overall, 42.6% of households experienced no income mobility between 2018 and 2022. Households with stable high incomes were most likely to include working adults without children or other dependents living in metropolitan cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg) or regional urban centers. Households located in rural areas and families with three or more children were most likely to be among the “chronically poor”. In 54% of cases, the most stable and least well‑off households were headed by working family members, indicating the existence of the “working poor” in Russia. Higher education of the household head, while associated with the likelihood of a household belonging to the stable high‑income group, did not protect households from downward income mobility. Retired households accounted for 35.3% of households with stable income. The presence of at least one working member effectively prevented these households from falling into the poorest group. Thus, the combination of government transfers and employment allowed the elderly to maintain a stable income and successfully avoid poverty.
Leisure activities of preschoolers in Russia

Published: October 2024

The article examines how Russian preschoolers spent their free time in 2016–2021. Almost all children play and watch TV at home. The vast majority read with their parents or alone. Nearly 78% of preschoolers play outside, skipping or playing tag; 69.3% play ball, or ride a bike; 61.8% play in a sandbox. Far fewer children participate in sports (18%), take art or music lessons (66.4%), do creative activities or dance (30.4%), study (21.1%), or learn a foreign language (5.6%). After the outbreak of the COVID‑19 pandemic and the introduction of quarantine regulations in 2020, playing outside, playing sports, drawing, and taking music lessons became much less common among preschoolers compared to the previous period, 2018–2019. There are notable differences in the leisure time of preschool girls and boys. Girls are more likely to play outside and engage in sports, creative, and educational activities. Boys tend to stay indoors and play, watch TV and videos, and read. Boys are also more likely to miss out on all kinds of leisure activities outside of government‑sponsored kindergartens. Girls are more likely to benefit from the attention of professional caregivers (nannies and private tutors), while boys are often cared for by grandparents (most likely grandmothers) living in separate households. Cluster analysis shows that there are four groups of preschool children, each with its own leisure activity profile. The smallest group (4.9%) includes children who regularly engage in sports, creative activities and learning. Children in the second smallest group (14.6%) spend most of their time watching TV and videos, reading and playing at home. The third group plays outside more often than others (21.4%). And the largest group of preschool children (68.2%) includes those who seem to be excluded from any kind of leisure activities.
Investments in children’s health
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Konyusheva A.D. , Roshchina Ya. M. ,   HSE University, Moscow,Russian Federation
Published: October 2024

In this study, we use data from the “Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey – Higher School of Economics” (RLMS HSE) for the period between 2010 and 2019 to analyze how families invest in the health of their children aged 3 to 13. As the data show, the majority of families invest in their children’s health by providing healthy food, encouraging outdoor activities, and maintaining daily routines. Cold exposure training, visits to a Russian sauna, and regular medical checkups are far less common. The choice of a specific investment strategy is contingent upon the age and gender of the child. Older children are less likely to adhere to daily routines, maintain healthy diet, take vitamins, or undergo cold exposure training. However, they engage in more physical activity and go to the sauna more often, which may be attributed to age‑related restrictions on these activities. The data indicate that boys are more likely to exercise and undergo cold exposure training, while girls are more likely to take vitamins. Urban households invest more in children’s health compared to rural households. Children residing in urban households are more likely to eat healthily, take vitamins and exercise, whereas children in rural areas are more likely to go to the sauna. While regular medical checkups are more prevalent in urban areas, the difference between urban and rural households is minimal. Cluster analysis showed that families are more likely to invest in children’s health if they have sons, a greater number of children than the average in the sample, or children without chronic illnesses. These households represent 56.2% of our sample. Parents in these households have a moderate lifestyle (they do not engage in frequent exercise very often, but do not abuse alcohol or cigarettes either) or a healthy lifestyle. The majority of households with parents who adhere to a moderate lifestyle are rural, while those with parents who live a healthy lifestyle are located in regional urban centers and capitals (Moscow, St. Petersburg) with per capita income slightly above the sample average. Families are less likely to invest in children’s health if they have daughters, older children (ages 8 or 9), or children with chronic diseases. This category represents 23.5% of the sample. Parents in these households have an unhealthy or moderate lifestyle, and the majority of such households are located rural areas and small towns, rather than major urban centers.
The prevalence of gaming and its impact on lifestyle and health in Russia
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Roshchina Ya. M. , Khazanovich A. O. ,   HSE University, Moscow,Russian Federation
Published: October 2024

This paper employs data from the “Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey – Higher School of Economics” (RLMS HSE) to examine the prevalence of video games and its impact on lifestyle and health in Russia. Our analysis spans the period from 2019 to 2022, offering a unique opportunity to assess the prevalence of video games just before, during, and after the coronavirus pandemic. In 2021, at the height of the COVID‑19 pandemic, the highest level of video game engagement was recorded. While 27.8% of respondents over the age of 14 played video games in 2019, the proportion increased to 32% in 2021 and then dropped to 25.4% in 2022, below the pre‑pandemic level. The decline was attributed to a reduction in engagement among younger people (aged 14–24 years). In contrast, the proportion of respondents in older age groups who played video games increased consistently from 2019 to 2022. Nevertheless, in 2022, 60% of all gamers were between the ages of 14 and 39. Despite the overall decline in engagement level, gamers spent more time playing video games in 2022 than in 2019. The proportion of active gamers (those who play every day for several hours a day) increased from 17.2% in 2019 to 20.6% in 2022. The data indicated that young people, men, unmarried people, and residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg were more likely to play video games in general and to become active gamers. Those who played video games assessed their health more positively compared to those who did not play at all. This may be attributed to the fact that gamers on average were younger than the general population. However, an increase in time spent playing video games was associated with the decreasing level of self‑assessed health. Furthermore, a weak but statistically significant correlation was found between the time spent gaming and the incidence of mental health problems such as nervousness, aggression, and recurring depression. Those who spend several hours every day gaming were more likely to feel lonely than those who play video games less often. However, active gamers were as lonely as those who did not play at all. Active gamers were more likely to engage in variety of leisure activities, whereas those who play less frequently were more likely to socialize with friends and family in person, by phone, or online. Gamers reported higher levels of happiness than those who did not play video games, with the highest proportion of those who fell happy observed among active gamers.

Published: October 2024

The article examines the evolution of book readership in Russia between 2009 and 2021. The RLMS‑HSE data indicates that the proportion of respondents who almost never read books increased from 20.2 to 33.6% between 2009 and 2021. In 2009, reading e‑books was rare with 83.4% of respondents never reading an e‑book. A series of ordinal logistic regressions was performed for the years 2009, 2016, and 2021 in order to identify key factors that influenced reading habits of the respondents. The results indicated that men were less likely to read than women. This was also true for middle‑aged respondents compared to young people and the elderly. The most avid readers were residents of metropolitan areas (Moscow and St. Petersburg), singles, people with higher education, users of the Internet and social networkers. Those respondents who read regularly were more likely to attend entertainment events (theaters, museums, etc.), participate in various creative activities, visit shopping malls, play video games, spend time on the Internet, and participate in sports. The fact that avid readers were involved in so many leisure activities can be explained by the age difference between the readers and the general population. The former tend to be younger than the latter. To investigate this further, we calculated the average frequency of various leisure activities for the respondents of different ages with different reading habits. In all age groups, there was only one type of leisure activity that was more common among those respondents who never read compared to the rest of the sample. This was gardening. In contrast, avid readers of all ages participated in almost all the aforementioned leisure activities. For the middle‑aged readers, frequent leisure activities also included time spent with children. There was virtually no relationship between reading and such leisure activities as watching television, going to cafés, and relaxing.
Cubism in Sweden – from experimental to moderate
Authors: Wallin Wictorin Margareta
Published: October 2024

In this article, examples of various forms of cubism practiced by Swedish artists are described and analyzed regarding form, content and reception in the field. A certain emphasis is placed on female artists, since there is a need for differencing the narrative of modernism regarding women’s contributions, often disregarded in their own contexts as well as in the writing of art history. Attention has also been paid to changing notions of cubism in the field of art.
In the early years of cubism, from the 1910s, a considerable number of Swedish artists experimented enthusiastically with prismatic and other cubist effects in their paintings. Many of them went to Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen to see the new art, and brought new ideas to Sweden. For most of the artists who experimented with different kinds of cubism, it was a temporary activity, although many of them felt they had acquired new insights concerning artistic form. Some of them further developed their findings into new directions of modernist art, such as post-cubism, purism and concrete art. Women artists were active in all of these movements.
The art market in Stockholm thrived in the 1910s and 1920s. Several of the art critics and large parts of the art audience had difficulties understanding cubism, and rejected the non-figurative art exhibited at the Stockholm exhibition in 1930. However, most Swedish cubism proved to be of a moderate sort, such as the works by Georg Pauli. On the other hand, Agnes Cleve, Siri Derkert, Gösta Adrian-Nilsson (GAN), and Otto G. Carlsund never ceased to generate bold forms and compositions. Regardless, it took a long time for Swedish art audiences to accept this form of visual art.

Published: October 2024

[Purpose] This study aims to explore career education teacher training programs in the US, one of the leading countries in career education, to draw implications for Korea.
[Methods] New York State was chosen due to its long history of using school counselors for career education and the ease of accessing data. The analysis includes state-level standards and specific training programs.
[Results] The analysis revealed that New York State's career education teacher training programs were not limited to in-service teachers. Additionally, the programs place a significant emphasis on understanding ‘ALL students,’ including minority students, and require substantial internship and practicum hours for pre-service teachers.
[Conclusion] Based on the findings, the study suggests that Korea should reconsider the selection criteria for career counselors, increase emphasis on understanding diverse learners, and establish credit and practicum regulations.

Published: October 2024

O Turismo de Base Comunitária (TBC) surge como uma forma de gestão do turismo em que os atores comunitários têm papel ativo. Ele é marcado pela coletividade, pela valorização do património local e pelo roteiro turístico que compreende a comunidade local. Em assentamentos rurais, algumas pesquisas apontam potenciais de desenvolvimento do TBC, mas esbarram na falta de participação e estrutura adequada. O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar o potencial para desenvolver o TBC no Assentamento 72 em Ladário, Mato Grosso do Sul, a partir das atividades do Grupo Bem-Estar. A pesquisa é exploratória com abordagem qualitativa, e os dados foram coletados utilizando a Entrevista de História Oral Temática e analisados a partir da análise de conteúdo. Existe um potencial de desenvolver o TBC, visto que o grupo tem estrutura formada, a participação coletiva é fomentada e há a comercializações de produtos locais e valorização da cultura e dos saberes camponeses, esbarrando, porém, na relação problemática com a prefeitura do município.

Sağlık Çalışanlarında İş Motivasyonunun İş Performansı Üzerindeki Etkisinde Çalışmaya Tutkunluğun ve İşyerinde Can Sıkıntısının Aracılık Rolü (The Mediating Role of Engagement to Work and Workplace Boredom in the Effect of Work Motivation on Job Performance in Healthcare Workers)
Authors: Çankır Bilal , Çiğdem Mehmet , Zaralioğlu Furkan Baki
Published: October 2024

Amaç –Türkiye’deki sağlık çalışanlarının göçü her geçen gün artmaktadır. Çalışanlar yoğun iş yükünden ve olumsuz iş ortamından şikâyet ederek başka ülkelere göç etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık çalışanlarında iş motivasyonunun iş performansı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek ve bu etkideki tutkunluk ve iş yerinde can sıkıntısının aracı rollerini ortaya çıkarılması sağlanacaktır.Yöntem –Veri toplama aracı olarak çevrimiçi anket formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini İstanbul’da sağlık sektöründe çalışan 384 kişi oluşturmuştur. Veriler çevrimiçi anket tekniği ile 2023 yılı içerisinde toplanmıştır. Araştırma amacına uygun olarak niceliksel verilerin analizinde SPSS 22.0 programı kullanılmıştır.Bulgular –Araştırmanın sonucuna göre özel ve idari birimlerde çalışan sağlık çalışanları şehir ve üniversite hastaneleri gibi devlet hastanelerinde çalışan sağlık çalışanlarından daha fazla işe tutkun ve iş ortamından sıkılmayan kişiler olduğu görülmüştür. Yapılan regresyon analizi sonucuna göre işyerinde can sıkıntısı ile çalışanların çalışmaya tutkunluk düzeyi iş performansı ile iş motivasyonu düzeyleriyle yakından ilişkilidir. İş motivasyonu iş performansını hem doğrudan hem de çalışmaya tutkunluk aracılığı ile de dolaylı olarak etkilemektedir. Tartışma –İş motivasyonunun iş performansına etkisinde tutkunluk ve iş yerinde can sıkıntısının etki ettiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Bununla birlikte, sağlık çalışanlarının devlet hastanesinde çalışan sağlık çalışanlarının hastanenin tipi ne olursa olsun özel hastanede çalışanlar kadar işlerine bağlı olamadıkları görülmekle birlikte son yıllarda yapılan şehir ve üniversite hastaneleri gibi kamu hastanesi düzenlemelerinin eksik kaldığı görülmüştür.

Authors: Kaya Neylan
Published: October 2024

Purpose –This study attempts to examine the studies using Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) in calculating the productivity of insurance sector and to identify the factors influencing their total factor productivity change through meta-regression analysis. Design/Methodology/Approach –This study employed 29 empirical articles which were published between 1977-2023 and which met the inclusion criteria. Findings –The results on the meta-regression analysis revealed that the publication year of the studies and the income groups of the countries did not have an impact on the total factor productivity. The number of observations, number of variables, and branch of theinsurance company were statistically significant on the estimation of total factor productivity change.Discussion –In this study, a meta-regression analysis systematically highlights the effects of methodological assumptions on the productivity of insurance companies and synthesize empirical findings. The study serves to make the literature more accessible to researchers who will use the MPI method for measuring the productivity of insurance companies. This study is expected to guide managers in enhancing the productivity of insurance companies, considering national requirements, making and implementing legal regulations, and identifying policies
