Vulnerable Buoyancy: A New View on Emotional Regulation Under Uncertainty
Authors: Kornilova Tatiana V.
Published: September 2023

Stress is often accompanied by high uncertainty, which makes it difficult or ineffective to make the right decisions. Affective-personal regulation of the decision-making process has been poorly studied to date, and the variables characterizing different aspects of emotional regulation have not been presented in a single complex of their interactions in relation to human uncertainty. In multiple decision-making regulation, the relevant variables can interact with each other, which can be reflected in the effectiveness of problem solving or decision-making. The aim of the article was to develop a model that links the variables of empathy (cognitive and affective), subclinical narcissism and tolerance for uncertainty with latent factors of Self-efficacy of human decisions and Vulnerable buoyancy. Vulnerable buoyancy is a new concept that allows us to consider emotional regulation under conditions of uncertainty not as stability, but rather as a dynamic system of self-regulation that positively determines the effectiveness of decision-making. The Dirty Dozen, Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy, The Subjective Risk Intelligence Scale, and The New Tolerance-intolerance to Uncertainty Questionnaire were used on a sample of n = 446. A correlation analysis was carried out and a structural model was built, which allowed: to substantiate the selection of an integrative latent variable Vulnerable buoyancy; to take a fresh approach to the relationship of narcissism with other variables of the emotional-personal sphere, which, according to the literature, are quite contradictory; to demonstrate the different roles of affective and cognitive empathy, manifesting Self-efficacy in problem solving (cognitive empathy) and Vulnerable buoyancy (affective empathy).
Dynamics of the Media Effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infodemic
Authors: Yefanov Aleksandr A.
Published: September 2023

The article presents the dynamics of the media effects of the coronavirus infodemic (COVID-19). A set of methods is used: case study, systematization, intent analysis, and secondary analysis of sociological and statistical data. Timeline of the study: March 1 – June 30, 2020. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the first “wave” of the coronavirus pandemic most clearly demonstrated the replacement of dominant media effects. If from mid-March to the end of April 2020, the construction of moral panic was observed, then from the beginning of May to mid-June 2020, compassion fatigue became prevalent in society. The factors that inspired such media effects are indicated. Cause-and-effect relationships between moral panic and compassion fatigue are fixed. On the basis of the results obtained, it is stated that at the turn of the 2010–2020s, a stress society was formed as a special social system, social ties, positions, and dispositions in which are largely explained through the factors of turbulence that exist in modern times and replace each other, leading to a paradigmatic loss of social, political, economic, and cultural stability, causing the permanent finding of individuals in a state of increased psycho-physiological stress. The legitimacy of putting forward the concept of a society of stress is substantiated, based on the existing socio-political, socio-economic, and socio-cultural (including media communication) determinants. A perspectivization of the study is being built, which implies further conceptualization of this concept. The necessity of incorporating the category of stress society into the academic discourse of the social sciences is proved. Such methodological foundations will allow for systematic research of cultivated social reactions (primarily media effects), taking into account cause-and-effect relationships and interdependent patterns.
The Self-help Practices of Students during the Period of “Emerging Adulthood” in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic and their Relation to a Personality’s Subjective Well-being
Authors: Khachaturova Milana R.
Published: September 2023

This study aims to investigate the self-help practices of students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and their relation to a personality’s subjective well-being during the period of “emerging adulthood”. The relevance of the research is determined by high psychical, intellectual, and psycho-emotional loads, especially in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, which makes special demands on resources to cope with them. The sample of the study consists of college students, undergraduate students, master’s degree and PhD students. We tested the hypothesis that self-help practices in difficult real-life situations is depending on the subjective well-being level. The study respondents are aged 16-29 (M = 21, SD = 3.45), 201 are female and 78 are male. We use “Mental Health Continuum” and an open question about preferred self-help practices. The study identified six categories of practices: Self-support practices and self-reliance; Social support: “significant” others and people in the same situation; Institutional support: teachers and mentors; Psychological assistance: psychotherapists and services; Contextual and situational factors and No need for help. At the same time, the differences between the groups of high and low subjective well-being levels are not statistically significant. The only category, the frequency of which significantly predominates among the more prosperous, is “Institutional support: teachers and mentors”. The research results can be used in training programs to improve the level of subjective well-being of students and support programs in coping with difficulties.
Individual and Social Dimensions of Moral Stress
Authors: Sychev Andrey A.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to moral stress, which is understood as a combination of emotional reactions challenging the integrity of a system of moral norms and values, as well as a result of such an impact. Individual dimensions of moral stress are shown on the example of the analysis of the concepts of moral distress and moral injury. Using the concept of "moral resilience" as an example, approaches to overcoming moral stress are analyzed, which involve rationalizing the causes and consequences of traumatic events and changing the subject's attitude to stress factors. It is shown that these approaches manifest the therapeutic turn in culture. There is an increase in the influence of stress factors on modern life. If in the past the manifestations of moral stress were personalized and extreme, in modern times they acquire a habitual character and a collective dimension. The reason for this is the growing gap between the value system, which advocates individual well-being, and the system, aimed at the effective regulation of the social whole. The widening of this gap is associated, on the one hand, with the expansion of the space of individual freedom, on the other hand, with the extraordinary conditions of the fight against terrorism, the pandemic, etc., regulating of which requires the restriction of personal rights. The author proposes several strategies of overcoming moral stress. Defense strategies are labeled as moralization and intellectualization. The third strategy, which involves the support of individual well-being, is realized in the form of the so called "new ethics". It is concluded that to overcome moral stress, it is necessary to initiate not only internal, but also structural changes. To do this, it is necessary to go beyond the psychological interpretation of individual moral stress to broad interdisciplinary generalizations on its social causes and collective manifestations.
Erlebnis, Ethnographie und die Ästhetik des Dissenses. Grundlagen performativer Sozialforschung
Authors: Winter Rainer
Published: September 2023

Günter Mey hat gezeigt, dass die performative Sozialwissenschaft ein Plädoyer für ein anderes Wissenschaftsverständnis darstellt. Ausgehend von dieser wichtigen Feststellung arbeite ich zunächst Unterschiede zur rekonstruktiven Sozialwissenschaft heraus, indem ich Wilhelm Diltheys Begriff des Erlebnisses als Ausgangspunkt der performativen Sozialwissenschaft bestimme. Im Anschluss diskutiere ich paradigmatische Studien von Dwight Conquergood, der eng an Victor Turner anknüpft, und von Norman Denzin, um die Merkmale dieser Forschungsrichtung genauer bestimmen zu können. Ich analysiere vor allem die Relevanz der ästhetischen Dimension, mit der ethische und politische Interventionen verbunden sind. Im Anschluss an Skip Jones betrachte ich die relationale Ästhetik, die aber meiner Ansicht nach für ein tieferes Verständnis der performativen Sozialwissenschaft und ihrer politischen Perspektive nicht geeignet ist. Jacques Rancières Überlegungen zum Verhältnis von Ästhetik und demokratischer Politik sowie die von Herbert Marcuse zur Kunst ermöglichen jedoch, die politische Bedeutung der performativen Sozialwissenschaft und ihrer Ästhetik in der Gegenwart besser zu verstehen.
Performativität und epistemologischer Bruch. Zum ambivalenten Verhältnis von Sozialforschung und performativen Sozialwissenschaften
Authors: Diaz-Bone Rainer , Schwegler Guy
Published: September 2023

Der Beitrag untersucht einige grundlegende wissenschaftstheoretische sowie methodologische Konsequenzen, die sich aus dem Verhältnis von Sozialforschung und dem Ansatz der so genannten performativen Sozialwissenschaften ergeben. Ausgangspunkt für diese Ausführungen und auch deren Abschluss markiert die historische Epistemologie von Gaston Bachelard. Bachelard hat Gemeinsamkeiten von und Unterschiede zwischen Literatur und Wissenschaft analysiert. Im Zentrum stehen die Fragen nach der spezifischen Kreativität der Wissenschaften, die er mit dem Konzept des epistemologischen Bruchs ermöglicht sieht. Bachelards Epistemologie kann als die wissenschaftstheoretische Position des (Neo)Strukturalismus aufgefasst werden kann. Der Beitrag bezieht sich aber auch auf den (Neo)Pragmatismus, der wiederum eine andere Problematisierung der performativen Sozialwissenschaft zulässt. Die Kombination dieser beiden Megaparadigmen bietet sich an, da beide gerade auch mit ihren Methodologien in der qualitativen Sozialforschung einflussreich sind. Letztendlich geht es so um die Fragen nach einer unabhängigen Erkenntnispraxis der Wissenschaften einerseits und den Konsequenzen aus ihrer gesellschaftlichen Involviertheit andererseits.
Keine Zukunft ohne Kohle?
Authors: Pflücke Virginia Kimey , Jacobsen Heike
Published: September 2023

Der Artikel fragt nach den geschlechtsspezifischen Aspekten des Strukturwandels in der Lausitz. Anhand der Entwicklung des Braunkohlebergbaus werden die Auswirkungen des postsozialistischen Übergangs auf Frauen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt herausgearbeitet. Die Kohleindustrie beschäftigte in der DDR viele weibliche Arbeitskräfte; nach der Wende waren diese im Vergleich zu ihren männlichen Kollegen stärker von Arbeitslosigkeit betroffen. In den 1990er-Jahren verließen viele junge Frauen die Region, was jedoch nicht zur Intensivierung der Gleichstellungspolitik führte. Im Gegenteil herrscht bis heute ein starker Industrialismus vor und die geschlechtsspezifische Dimension des Kohleausstiegs droht ein zweites Mal vergessen zu werden.

ІСТОРИЧНІ ВИТОКИ ДИРИГЕНТСЬКО-ОРКЕСТРОВОГО МИСТЕЦТВА
Authors: ПОТАПЧУК Тетяна , СВЕРЛЮК Ярослав , СВЕРЛЮК Лілія
Published: September 2023

У пропонованій статті розкрито культурно-історичні передумови розвитку диригентсько-оркестрового мистецтва, яке є однією з найдавніших форм музичного втілення. На основі наукових праць здійснено спробу довести, що оркестрове диригування в країнах Західної Європи, на той час мало стихійний характер, передусім воно розвивалося завдяки національним музичним традиціям. У великих містах, де діяли музичні товариства, за сприяння яких було організовано різноманітні оркестри, диригентське мистецтво наближалося до професійного. Спираючись на історичні джерела та аналіз музичного виконавства того часу, актуалізовано думку що кінець ХVІІІ і початок ХІХ століття – це епоха емансипації і реабілітації диригентського мистецтва. Воно відділилося від інших видів музичної діяльності і стало особливим мистецтвом, що потребувало спеціальних знань та природної обдарованості. В цей час вперше в музичному житті появилися професійні диригенти в сучасному розумінні їх. Проте слід зазначити, що перехід до нової системи диригування здійснювався під тиском передових музикантів того часу, але з великими потугами. З’ясовано, що тільки з епохи Відродження почалося поступове оновлення хейрономічного принципу завдяки новим течіям музичного мистецтва. Виникає вчення про відтінки виконання, залежність модифікації темпу від змісту ви- конуваної музики. Ритмічні контури п’єси пожвавішали, а зміни темпу зустрічаються дедалі частіше. Відповідно елементарне відбиття такту за допомогою замаху руки стало недостатнім. Тому в Італії на початку ХVІІ ст. це призвело до зародження подібних рухів, що використовувались у сучасній системі диригування. Першими італійськими теоретиками, котрі вперше показали нові схеми складних диригентських рухів, були Лоренцо Пена, Цаккарія Тево. Доведено, що основними етапами еволюції диригентського мистецтва були стихійні і примітивні рухи тіла первісних людей, хейрономія давнього періоду і епоха середньовіччя, пошуки засобів керування ритмічним ансамблем і поява батути з «відбиванням такту» в ХVІ столітті, генерал-бас і диригування за клавесином в ХVІІ–ХVІІІ століттях і, нарешті, виникнення нового стилю з його дуже розвинутою мовою жестів, які успішно використовуються й сьогодні.
Organization of rationed feeding and feeding of dogs

Published: September 2023

In today's conditions, the issues of feeding, maintenance, upbringing, training, and prevention of infectious diseases were and are relevant in dog breeding. Many primarily foreign scientists conduct research in this field of science. However, scientists in Ukraine do not pay enough attention to the study and improvement of the technology for feeding and keeping dogs in kennels of departmental institutions, mainly where dogs are used to help people and serve. A dog is a man's best friend, reliable assistant, and faithful companion. Even in ancient times, a person tamed a dog and adapted it to perform various tasks. People use sled dogs to move over challenging terrain and transport various cargo. Guard dogs protect herds of livestock, protect them from predators, and protect critical economic facilities and human housing. Service dogs successfully serve on the border, help to detain criminals, search for drugs and explosive devices, perform the duties of signalmen and paramedics, rescue drowning people, and search for victims in the rubble after an earthquake and swept away by snow avalanches in the mountains. Hunting dogs of all breeds help hunters search for and catch wild animals or birds, making hunting interesting and exciting. The article assesses the technique of feeding dogs in the “Home of Rescued Animals” BF conditions. The reported data shows that the number and breed composition of dogs has been gradually increasing over the past year, and by the beginning of 2023, it will be 84 dogs. The basis of the diet for dogs is the food of animal origin (offal, meat, milk, and dairy products, animal fat), plant origin (oat groats, barley, millet, vegetables), sea fish or seafood, mineral additives (bone meal, table salt ), vitamin preparations (Tetravit, Catozal). In the conditions of the BF “Home of Rescued Animals”, dogs are fed twice a day – in the morning and the evening, approximately 1.5 hours before the walk and 30–60 minutes after the walk. Feeding dogs depends on the daily routine–drinking all dogs without restrictions. The blood test results prove that all physiological processes in the animal's body commonly occur without deviations. In current conditions, the basis of a dog's health, longevity, and good physical condition is a complete and balanced diet. The type of feeding should meet the needs of the dog's body and differ depending on the stage of the life cycle (young growth period, sexually mature dog, animal in the aging period) and the characteristics of physiological development (lack of various physical activities, increased physical activity, pregnancy and feeding puppies, etc.).
Investigation of the ecological state of natural resources at agricultural enterprises of various forms of ownership in the eastern region of Opllia
Authors: Glovyn N. M. , Pavliv O. V.
Published: September 2023

In order to provide sustainable development of agroecosystems and rational nature management, it is essential to make a transition to alternative farming methods. Organization of agricultural area is the first stage in the process of transforming a natural ecosystem into an agroecosystem. The limits of the types of agricultural area organization form natural boundaries of agroecosystems. The basis of conducting the research is the investigation of the ecological state of natural resources of agricultural enterprises of various forms of ownership in the eastern region of Opillia, namely the agroecosystems of two farms as a comparison of a traditional method of farming and a bioorganic one as well as their influence on the ecosystems on the territory of Berezhany district (investigation of the agroecosystems in TzOV “Zhyva Zemlia Potutory” in the village of Potutory  Berezhany district (organic farming method), and TOV “Agroprodservis” in the village of Kozliv, Ternopil region). The research is aimed at the substantiation of ecological approaches and the analysis of practical recommendations on the formation of a mechanism of the development of ecologically-safe farming and at providing the ecological assessment of the agricultural landscapes in order to provide organic crop cultivation. Materials and methods corresponded to the methodology of a continuous soil-agrochemical monitoring of agricultural lands in Ukraine.  In most cases, alternative farms cannot compete with traditional farms in terms of crop yield. Satisfactory crop yields absolutely depend on the amount of manure and compost applied as well as on the area that farmers can allocate for growing legumes.

Under the influence of the pathological factor, there is a change in the intensity of lipid peroxidation, the accumulation in the blood of the concentration of products of free radical oxidation and reactive oxygen species, a decrease in the buffer capacity of the blood relative to the maintenance of optimal parameters of the intensity of free extreme reactions. The work aimed to investigate the effect of the feed additive “Sylimevit” on the antioxidant protection of the body of dogs after preventive deworming. 10 German Shepherd dogs aged 1–2 years were used for experimental research. It was established that when feeding the feed additive “Sylimevit” to dogs in the period after deworming, activation of the enzyme link of the antioxidant system occurs in the blood, which is indicated by an increase in the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase in the blood serum of these animals and inhibition of lipid peroxidation processes (reduction of secondary and end products lipid peroxidation). On the 30th day of the experiment, the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase in the blood of animals of the experimental group was the highest, and the level of lipid peroxidation products was the lowest. The obtained research results confirm the antioxidant properties of the Sylimevit feed additive. This may be because the composition of the drug includes milk thistle, methiphene, and vitamins, which in turn enhance the effect of each other and thereby inhibit the formation of radicals and the processes of lipid peroxidation. It is also worth noting the antioxidant properties of milk thistle, which according to the literature, also have similar properties. The complex effect of the indicated biologically active elements provided high hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects.

Published: September 2023

Introducción. La hiperglucemia e hiperlipidemia contribuyen a la formación endógena de productos finales de glicación avanzada (AGEs), y la dieta constituye parte de las fuentes exógenas. La unión de AGEs al receptor de los productos finales de glicación (RAGE), induce vías de señalización que culminan en la activación de factores de transcripción que promueven la expresión de marcadores inflamatorios y de estrés oxidativo. Los niveles de RAGE soluble (sRAGE) han sido propuestos como biomarcador en enfermedades que cursan con un proceso inflamatorio. Diversos estudios describen el papel de RAGE en la obesidad, por lo que se ha discutido si existe un patrón diferencial entre niños con normo peso y obesidad. Objetivo. Describir la relación entre RAGE, sus isoformas, ligandos, funciones biológicas, y las comorbilidades relacionadas con la obesidad infantil. Determinar si los niveles disminuidos de sRAGE representan un biomarcador de la obesidad infantil con base en los resultados de estudios clínicos, observacionales y transversales. Metodología. Revisión descriptiva de estudios publicados en el periodo del año 2016 al 2022 en las bases de datos PubMed y Google Académico empleando los términos “AGEs”, “RAGE”, “sRAGE”, y “obesidad infantil”. Resultados y conclusiones. Fueron consultados un total de 141 artículos relacionados con las palabras clave. El criterio de eliminación consistió en referencias publicadas antes del 2015, con excepción de las referencias clásicas. Se revisaron 63 artículos de 2016 a 2022, 6 representan estudios transversales sobre los niveles de sRAGE en población pediátrica, encontrando diferencias en la expresión de RAGE de acuerdo con el estado nutricional
Eutanasia y suicidio medicamente asistido

La muerte digna de Bacon como un derecho según Hans Jonás, son ideas que han empezado a tener más peso cuando se piensa en legalizar la Eutanasia y el Suicidio Médicamente Asistido, la polémica se profundiza cuando involucran niños y/o sujetos vulnerables o cuando se anteponen corrientes paternalistas médicas y religiosas; lo que sí queda claro es que existe un creciente necesidad de ofrecer otras alternativas a los pacientes con enfermedades terminales cuando las soluciones legales no son las que necesite, por lo que podrían atentar contra su autonomía como ser humano. Así como se ha legalizado el consumo de la marihuana como el aborto, se requiere de un cambio en la forma de ver la muerte, como una parte integral del libre desarrollo de un ser humano, al final de su vida.

Визначено актуальність комплексного розгляду прогнозування показників діяльності авто-транспортного підприємства, з урахуванням різноманітних факторів, що впливають на його рентабельність. Встановлено важливість управління якістю витрат підприємства, оскільки його вартісні дані характеризують фінансовий стан суб’єктів господарювання та формують загальну інформаційно-аналітичну основу для показників ефективності фінансово-господарської діяльності автотранспортних підприємств. Узагальнено позиції різних науковців щодо системного підходу до визначення вартості суб’єкта бізнесу та надання інформації про ці показники зовнішнім і внутрішнім користувачам, оскільки в деяких випадках вартість суб’єкта бізнесу ототожнюється з його вартістю, оцінюючи його діяльність з метою майбутніх продажів чи інвестицій. Аналіз фінансового стану підприємства вважається основою для визначення його вартості, оскільки він чітко розкриває всі ризики та перспективи діяльності. Актуальним завданням даної праці є удосконалення методики визначення ринкової вартості суб’єкта бізнесу як на основі використання значень точкових прогнозів для чистого фінансового результату (збитку) та вартості чистих активів, так і на основі використання значень довірчих меж для точкових прогнозів у інтервальному оцінюванні. Зазначено, що використання значень точкових прогнозів не позбавлене недоліків, оскільки за рахунок стохастичної невизначеності немає змоги оцінити міру точності знайдених прогнозних значень, що впливатиме і на точність значень ринкової вартості суб’єкта бізнесу. Запропоновано при обчисленні ринкової вартості поряд із значеннями точкових прогнозів використовувати і значення меж довірчих інтервалів для чистого фінансового результату та вартості чистих активів. Зауважено, що подальші дослідження слід присвятити вивченню залежностей між величиною чистого фінансового результату, величиною вартості чистих активів та залежності вартості підприємства від величини чистого фінансового результату та величини чистих активів підприємства.

This study sought to improve understanding of the factors that drive the international performance (IP) of business service small andmedium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly from a developing country’s perspective. Studying the SME context is key in light ofthe scarce evidence of SMEs’ experience in the literature despite their increasing importance in the provision of services to international clients. Semi-structured interviews underpinned by resourcebased theory and dynamic capability view, were conducted with 11 informants representing government agencies, trade associations, and industry members. This qualitative method was employed to analyse the viewpoints of multiple industry stakeholders to enable us to capture the factors that drive IP. The findings revealed a convergence of views among the stakeholders on specific internal and external factors they perceive as essential in driving IP. The internal factors include human capital, entrepreneurial orientation, foreign market knowledge, relational capital, marketing capability, technological capability, and innovative service offerings, whereas the external factors encompass track record, access to financing, and government facilitation. We elaborated on the identified factors in relation to the supporting theories, thereby enhancing existing knowledge on their relationship with IP.

ABSTRAK Retinoblastoma merupakan keganasan pada mata yang sering terjadi pada anak-anak dengan insiden terjadinya berkisar antara 1 dalam 14.000 sampai 1 dalam 20.000 kelahiran. Diagnosis dan penanganan retinoblastoma yang terlambat menjadi salah satu permasalahan yang dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya metastasis ke bagian ekstraokuler, kehilangan penglihatan dan kematian. Pada negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia penyebab keterlambatan diagnosis retinoblastoma berasal dari orang tua anak yang disebabkan oleh faktor ekonomi dan ketidaktahuan pada penyakit retinoblastoma serta kewaspadaan dari gejala klinis dari retinoblastoma. Kira-kira setengah dari populasi anak yang terdiagnosis retinoblastoma meninggal, diperkirakan karena baru terdiagnosis saat stadium lanjut. Oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan kewaspadaan orang tua tentang penyakit retinoblastoma. Penanganan awal retinoblastoma melalui deteksi dini tes lihat merah untuk melihat adanya leukokoria dapat dilakukan di fasilitas layanan kesehatan yang memadai dengan alat sederhana menggunakan oftalmoskop. Kata Kunci : Retinoblastoma, Tes Lihat Merah, Deteksi Dini  ABSTRACT Retinoblastoma is a common eye malignancy in children with an incidence ranging from 1 in 14,000 to 1 in 20,000 births. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of retinoblastoma is one of the problems that can lead to extraocular metastases, loss of vision, and death. In developing countries, including Indonesia, the cause of delay in the diagnosis of retinoblastoma comes from the child's parents due to economic factors and ignorance of retinoblastoma disease and awareness of clinical symptoms of retinoblastoma. Approximately half of the population of children diagnosed with retinoblastoma die, presumably because it was diagnosed at an advanced stage. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to increase the awareness and vigilance of parents about retinoblastoma disease. Early treatment of retinoblastoma through early detection, see red to see the presence of leukocoria can be done in adequate healthcare facilities with simple tools using an ophthalmoscope.  Keywords:  Retinoblastoma,  Red Reflex Test, Screening
