Acquiring Walking with Lower Leg Prosthesis by Passive Shoulder Blades and Improved Trunk Range of Motion: A Case Report
Authors: Kim Mindae
Published: April 2023

I report the first case of a patient who presented with lower thoracic vertebral deformity and difficulty walking with a prosthesis but had improved the range of motion of the thorax and achieved walking with a lower leg prosthesis. The patient was a 75-year-old man with a history of arteriosclerosis and renal failure following treatment for malignant lymphoma. Due to a traffic accident, the patient developed an arteriosclerotic thrombus in his left artery below the knee, resulting in below-knee amputation. Regular rehabilitation with additional trunk stretching was performed. As the range of motion of the trunk expanded, the movement improved. At the time of discharge, he was able to walk with a single T-cane. Enhancing the range of motion of the trunk may contribute to the acquisition of prosthetic locomotion and expand indications.
Crowdsourcing research topics to raise public understanding of applied linguistics
Authors: Watson Todd Richard
Published: April 2023

Applied linguistics as a discipline has poor public recognition both among the general public and within universities. While there are many laudable initiatives to promote specific research projects, little attention has been paid to raising public understanding of applied linguistics as a field. Crowdsourcing in the form of an idea competition to elicit research topics in applied linguistics has potential to solve poor public understanding of the field. This paper describes an idea competition run at a Thai university eliciting 27 submissions which can act as a model for further attempts to raise public understanding of applied linguistics.
Mutual cooperation between Kazakhstan and Turkey
Authors:   Yıdırım Beyazıt University, Avcu S.A.
Published: April 2023

In 1991, the Republic of Turkey became the first country to recognize the independence of Kazakhstan. Such a friendly act of Turkey has become a very important moral support for the young state. Along with the common cultural and historical roots between the two countries, the comprehensive support offered by Turkey in the first years of independence formed the basis for the rapid and dynamic development of bilateral relations. The dynamics of the development of Turkish-Kazakh relations and the construction of these relations at the level of strategic partnership testifies to the similarity of interests in many regional and international issues. Like Kazakhstan, which understands Turkey’s strategic importance in the region and world politics, Turkey approves Kazakhstan’s leading role in Central Asia and considers Kazakhstan the most important partner in the region. The article considers the issue of partnership between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Turkey, which describes the priority areas and topical issues between the two countries today. It is emphasized that Turkey, which has deep historical ties with Kazakhstan, is today an important and reliable partner of the country on the Eurasian continent. For this reason, the article makes a comprehensive analysis of the level of development and prospects of cooperation in dynamically developing industries, mainly in Kazakh-Turkish relations. The article also discusses the need to improve the issue of bilateral investment.

The article deals with the migration potential of Kazakhstan in the example of the Pavlodar region bordering Russia. The authors noted that as a result of recent active migration processes, Russia and Kazakhstan are beginning to experience migration pressure. Such changes in migration processes require the improvement of migration policy, taking into account global trends and rules. Within states, there are negative consequences of ignoring migration problems, which are expressed in a decrease in the population in some regions due to its migration to more «rich» regions; the destabilizing effect of the retirement of the able-bodied population; the growth of illegal migration; expanding the shadow sector of the economy through the uncontrolled use of migrant labor; corruption; the danger of terrorist actions; undermining national security. For this reason, the article mainly focuses on the ability of the state to form and implement a national migration policy, increase the international prestige of the country, and the attractiveness of the region in domestic migration policy. It is concluded that migration processes have an ambivalent political assessment since they can have both positive and negative impacts. The authors propose recommendations for a positive scenario of migration potential not only for the population of the Pavlodar region but also for all border areas of Kazakhstan. In order to understand the benefits of migration, as well as to develop measures to counteract its negative impact, a comprehensive political analysis of all components of the migration processes of border states is required. In preparing the article, the authors used the results of the sociological survey «Migration potential of the Pavlodar region» conducted by the authors and the research group of the NAO «Toraighyrov University», commissioned by the State Institution «Department of Information and Social Development of the Pavlodar Region».

In the article, the authors consider the evolution of migration processes and define the meaning of the term migration. Migration issues are one of the most pressing in the world, it is difficult to manage, and there are many factors that affect migration. Another difficulty lies in the fact that there is neither unity in understanding its essence, nor common approaches to its study. In the study, the authors describe the classification feature of the causes of migration movements, which may include economic, political, environmental, recreational, family, ethnic, and other reasons. The article focuses on the research of Western scientists, resulting in many theories. Interest in migration issues is growing, which confirms the relevance of the chosen topic and the increasing influence of globalization processes in the world on migration processes. In conclusion, the authors come to the conclusion that there is a certain continuity in Western research - most scientists in their works rely on the experience of previous researchers, and many operate with pull and push factors.
International comparative and country studies (PIAAC, IALS, ALL) on the assessment of basic functional literacy skills

The lack of such an important skill as functional literacy becomes a serious obstacle to personal growth and participation in society. While increasing the level of literacy has a beneficial effect on the individual’s capabilities, his political activity, cultural development, social activity and economic opportunities. The political activity of an individual as a whole contributes to the active promotion of Kazakhstan’s educational policy focused on integration into the world space. There are a number of studies conducted by international organizations such as the OECD, UNESCO and the World Bank, as well as at the country level, which are aimed at measuring the indicator of functional literacy in the adult population. This article analyzes the modern scientific and methodological literature devoted to the assessment of functional literacy of adults in the context of country studies. Existing quantitative studies very often consider literacy from the perspective of cognitive/ thought processes. Unlike quantitative research, qualitative research relies on cultural theory and critical literacy theory. It is important to understand that both approaches to data analysis influence the formation of policy in relation to large categories of the population: how the research literature defines people as literate or illiterate, and affects how the trajectories of the development of the adult population are discussed in policy documents.
Uzbekistan between political modernization and social conservatism
Authors:   L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Tolipov F.F.
Published: April 2023

The article analyzes the problem of the formation and development of the classical state and classical democracy in Uzbekistan in the modern world, where globalization and technological revolution transform the essence of both the state and democracy. The article argues the need to abandon the post-Soviet lexicon in the discussion and understanding of the political perspective. It highlights the problem of archaic remnants in public relations, which not only contradict the modernization of society and the state, but they are also largely objectified in the geopolitical interpretations of the country’s development directions. It also focuses on the hypothesis of post-democracy and non-democracy.
Cultural ıntegration as the main direction in the interaction of the Turkic states: origins, formation, and institutionalization
Authors:   L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Mukhamedzhanova S.B. , Shaldarbekova A.B.
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the issues of Turkic integration and Turkic cultural integration, the consideration of concepts, and interconnectedness, as well as the study of the content aspect. There are similarities and differences between these categories due to the common motivation for cooperation and the processes of institutionalization. There is a transfusion of integration from one sphere to another, which deepens and expands the overall integrative interaction and aims at finding new areas of mutually beneficial cooperation. Turkic integration is a more holistic understanding and phenomenon due to the national position towards interaction and cooperation of interested actors (Turkic—speaking states, autonomies with a Turkic-speaking population, international Turkic organizations, experts, etc.). Turkic cultural integration being a part of it, the concept is narrow, it affects more sectoral aspects. Cooperation in the field of culture for the Turkic-speaking countries becomes an opportunity to join their common historical and mental roots, to establish an exchange of experience for the preservation of a unique heritage. Within the framework of the study, the periodization of integration processes is proposed, with the reduction of the event series, sequence, and results of joint actions of the Turkic-speaking countries. In our opinion, every event or fact contributes to the deepening of integration and expands the horizons of cooperation. The institutionalization of Turkic cultural integration, accompanied by the emergence of new initiatives and projects, is studied by the example of the formation and functioning of TURKSOY.
Features of functioning of the institution of the parliamentary opposition in the modern world
Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Duzbaev T.M.
Published: April 2023

In this scientific article, the author tried to study the features of the representation of the opposition in the parliaments of developed and developing countries. The opposition in parliament contributes to the development of democracies in the state. Unfortunately, even in the developed EU countries, the representation of the opposition in the state parliament remains low. In a parliamentary democracy, deputies elect the head of government, deputies from the same party or deputies with the same goals often form a parliamentary group. These factions are called coalition factions, or coalition for short. In addition to the coalition, there is also opposition in parliament. The word «opposition» means «oppose». The opposition often disagrees with the ruling coalition and the government. Therefore, she often keeps a close eye on whether the government is doing well. The task of the opposition is to control the work of the government. The opposition can also show that it has other better solutions. A strong opposition is important for the development of democracy. The opposition expresses its opinion in parliament. Opposition outside parliament is also possible. This article demonstrates the tendency towards skepticism towards parliamentary opposition in developed countries. Parliamentary democracy relies on the functioning of the parliamentary opposition because the subjects of the opposition perform their control tasks in front of the public. The opposition in parliament can act like a minority acting according to predetermined characteristics and should be able to control the government and influence legislative output. The other approach, on the contrary, rejects the idea of an active role of the opposition in the decision-making process and cooperation with the ruling majority. Its sole function is to present itself as an alternative future government. This structure allows the opposition to publicly criticize the authorities and immediately demonstrate to the electorate an alternative worthy of the authorities. A system where the opposition does not participate in the decision-making process, usually not considered overly friendly to the opposition, proves exceptionally strong and reliable in times of party fragmentation when it comes to the rights of the opposition.

Modern realities are the growing influence of «new» media and social networks. Their most active user was initially young people, with the subsequent involvement of citizens of various age categories and social groups. This reinforces the trend that «new» media have become the most important factor in the socialization of citizens. The article discusses information technologies used during election campaigns. The features and factors determining the role of «new» media in the formation of electoral preferences are shown. The analysis of the use of information technologies during the election campaign for the election of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2019 is presented. Based on the generalization of these data, an assumption is made about the leading role of Internet media. The use of new media in election campaigns was used to assess the expectations of voters. This was shown by the example of materials and information about the results of the 2019 elections. The analysis of the documents, along with the publications of the Kazakh Internet media, revealed trends in the use of new technologies in election campaigns. Based on the social cross-section, an indicator of the influence of factors and their interactions on the vector of electoral preferences was calculated. The calculated data confirmed that Internet articles, interviews, information, and comments are most in demand during the electoral process. At the same time, the problem of obtaining objective data from the Internet has been studied. Despite the fact that online publications project a political idea and point of view under the guise of public opinion, there is a risk of uncontrolled outbursts in response to the strategic use of media information.

Jewish Communities in Azerbaijan: Past and Present
Authors: Asadov Javid
Published: April 2023

Azerbejdżan był na przestrzeni dziejów państwem zróżnicowanym etnicznie. Na jego obszarze przez wieki żyły różne narodowości. Żydzi mieszkali w Azerbejdżanie od ponad dwóch tysięcy lat i byli reprezentowani przez trzy grupy: Żydów górskich, Żydów europejskich (Aszkenazyjskich) i Żydów gruzińskich. W artykule zostały podjęte takie problemy, jak: w jakich warunkach i kiedy Żydzi migrowali na terytorium, które stanowi obecnie państwo azerbejdżańskie, jaka była ich sytuacja w Azerbejdżańskiej Republice Demokratycznej oraz Azerbejdżanie sowieckim. Poruszony został także temat, jak żyją Żydzi we współczesnym niepodległym Azerbejdżanie. Wyniki badań autora pokazują, że społeczności żydowskie mieszkające w Azerbejdżanie nigdy nie doświadczyły antysemityzmu. Zostały zaakceptowane przez miejscową ludność, pomimo nacisków władz w okresie Azerbejdżanu sowieckiego. Obecną sytuację społeczności żydowskich w Azerbejdżanie można oceniać pozytywnie, ponieważ posiadają one wszystkie prawa obywatelskie i nic nie zagraża zachowaniu ich tożsamości etnicznej.
A Phoney Autonomy? Soviet Ukraine’s Foreign Relations in Historical Context, 1917–1991
Authors: Avramchuk Oleksandr
Published: April 2023

Niniejszy tekst jest poświęcony historii międzynarodowego statusu Ukrainy Sowieckiej w latach 1917–1991. Na przestrzeni lat ukraińscy komuniści wykorzystywali półautonomiczny status ich republiki, wyrażony w konstytucji i akcie założycielskim Związku Sowieckiego, w celu uzyskania szerszej pozycji autonomicznej wobec Moskwy. Dla bolszewików fikcyjna dyplomacja Ukrainy Sowieckiej służyła jako skuteczne narzędzie podważenia wpływów ruchów antykomunistycznych na emigracji, pomagała w wywieraniu nacisku na sąsiadów państwa sowieckiego, podtrzymywała skierowane wobec nich pretensje terytorialne. Po zakończeniu drugiej wojny światowej Ukraina została członkiem założycielem Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych. Ten nowy okres w historii półautonomicznych stosunków zagranicznych republiki przygotował grunt dla pokojowego i – co ważniejsze – prawomocnego wyjścia Ukrainy ze składu Związku Sowieckiego w grudniu 1991 r.

W oparciu o źródła archiwalne, czasopisma i literaturę autor analizuje rozwój rzemiosła jubilerskiego w północnym Azerbejdżanie, w szczególności w Baku. Polityka caratu rosyjskiego po podboju i aneksji terytorium Północnego Azerbejdżanu do Imperium Rosyjskiego początkowo wcale nie była zainteresowana rozwojem sztuki jubilerskiej narodu azerbejdżańskiego i dlatego ingerowała w każdy możliwy sposób w tę starożytną formę sztuki, dopóki nie zdała sobie sprawy z opłacalności tego biznesu. Mimo wielu zakazów i ograniczeń jubilerzy starali się zachować narodowe tradycje charakterystyczne dla każdego regionu północnego Azerbejdżanu. Wraz z utworzeniem Bakińskiego guberskiego zakładu probierczego (Бакинское губернское пробирное учреждение), którym kierował polski inżynier górniczy Witold Zglenicki, pozycja mistrzów jubilerskich nieco się poprawiła, zajęli pierwsze miejsca na międzynarodowych wystawach. Artykuł szczegółowo opisuje wysiłki polskiego geologa w otwarciu szkoły jubilerskiej w Baku, jego starania na rzecz zachowania i rozwoju tradycyjnej sztuki jubilerskiej w regionie.

Authors:   University of Customs and Finance, Bondarevska Kseniia
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to diagnosis of the salary security according to the author's method of comprehensive rating assessment in a regional section. The strategic directions of protection of the population interests in sphere of labor payment, designed to ensure a decent standard of living of citizens in the perspective of the post-war recovery of Ukraine are also defined. Taking into account the results of the diagnosis of the state of salary security, the presence of negative trends was determined, in particular, a significant gap between the nominal and real wages; the decrease in the real wage index; the significant sectoral disparities in wages; the presence of regional differences in the levels of salary security, as evidenced by the results of the rating assessment conducted according to key indicators. Thus, the state and regional policy priorities should include: the raising the minimum social standards; the stabilization of inflationary processes due to effective monetary policy of the state; the regulation of the processes of population income differentiation taking into account the principle of social justice; the improvement of the wage indexation mechanism; the responsibility for late payment of salary; the reduction of the tax burden on the wage fund; the strengthening control over the payment of taxes and social contributions by state bodies with the aim of decriminalization of wages; the development of small and medium-sized businesses and creation of new jobs with decent wages; the improvement of the investment climate for the development of entrepreneurship. The prospects for further research in this direction are the determination of the possibilities of implementation of priorities for increasing the level of salary security and welfare of the population at the stage of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

Authors:   Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics, Smoliak Viktor
Published: April 2023

The insurance market of Ukraine is the second large in terms of capitalization among non-bank financial markets in Ukraine. The purpose of the study is the development of theoretical and methodological provisions and practical tools for assessing the insurance market financial stability. The financial stability of the insurance market is a dynamic characteristic of its functioning. It involves the ability of the market to reach the main goals of its development and ensure a sufficient risk coverage of economic entities and an effective system of redistribution of insurance risks. The regulator continues liquidation of insurance companies that do not provide any insurance activity. These measures have a positive effect on the financial stability of the insurance market of Ukraine in the long-term perspective. The level of financial stability of the insurance market is a complex con-cept and requires a comprehensive assessment. In the study, the structure of the integral indicator for assessing the financial stability of the insurance market includes such indicators as: the share of the most liquid and safe eligible assets, insurance reserves, the level of insurance payments, the volume of premiums be-longing to nonresident reinsurers. During the analyzed period, the value of the indicator reached its maximum in the III quarter of 2022, which indicates the highest level of financial stability of the insurance market of Ukraine during the analyzed period. In the 1st quarter of 2022, there was a noticeable failure of the financial stability of the insurance market of Ukraine, which relates to the conduct of economic activity in the conditions of the first shock since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. During the analyzed period, there was a tendency to increase the value of the integral indicator of the level of financial stability of the insurance market of Ukraine, which is a positive trend. Thus, the use of an integral indicator of assessing makes it possible to obtain a comprehensive description of the insurance market financial stability at a specific moment in time to identify points of the financial stability improvement.
TAX AUDIT: CONTROL-METHODICAL ORIENTATION OF THE ESSENCE AND PRAXEOLOGICAL PURPOSE
Authors:   State Tax University, Kraievskyi Volodymyr , Kostenko Oleksandr ,   Kyiv Cooperative Institute of Business and Law, Skoryk Maryna ,   State Tax University
Published: April 2023

Despite the widespread use of the term "tax audit" in practice, there is no definition of this type of audit in domestic legislation, and there has been a debate on this issue among scientists for many years. Therefore, in the article we reveal the very essence of the tax audit and the stages of its implementation. We will prove the necessity of using a tax audit, which confirms its control-methodical orientation. Let us establish that a tax audit is considered both an independent direction of state control and a service of independent auditing companies. A comparative analysis of scientific positions, which determine the duality of the content of the tax audit based on control, has been carried out. Based on the results of the research, two main approaches to the interpretation of tax audit, which operate between scientists and practitioners, are highlighted, namely: audit and control. The strengths and weaknesses of the justifications of these approaches are analyzed. Proponents of the audit approach as arguments for conducting a tax audit indicate that the control bodies in their activities are not guided by the Law of Ukraine "On the Audit of Financial Statements and Audit Activity" and the standards of audit activity. Proponents of the controlling approach point to the procedural nature of tax authorities' actions during tax audits. Analyzing the validity of various aspects of the interpretation of the tax audit, the main emphasis is on the praxeology of its purpose, which reflects the effectiveness of control mechanisms for the implementation of audit procedures. The comparative analysis of scientific positions that reveal the essence of tax audit, in particular, determine the duality of content and determine its stages, made it possible to disperse the generalizing sign of control, which confirms the controlmethodical orientation of tax audit as an object of research and a type of activity. In this context, it was found that the Tax Code and other normative acts of Ukraine do not directly establish tax audit methods, that is, there is no list of methods and control methods. In this regard, individual authors define such methods in different ways.

The experience of developed countries in the field of national economy competitiveness management requires a thorough analysis, since the issue of creating new competitive industries is related to the strategy of national development. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to identificatе the ways to manage the company's competitiveness, including on the basis of an assessment of international management experience. Achieving the specified goal was carried out on the basis of a combinatorial approach, which includes a comparative analysis of national business management models, as well as an assessment of the operating conditions of domestic business entities in terms of martial law, which made it possible to identify the vectors of implementation of international experience in managing the enterprise competitiveness. The main tasks of the state industrial policy of the leading countries of the world are defined. The prerequisites for the effectiveness of business decisions in conditions of turbulence are analyzed. The terms for conducting effective economic activity at the current stage of the development of the domestic economy are objectively difficult, therefore, the key challenges for domestic enterprises in the conditions of martial law have been assessed. The process of managing the enterprise competitiveness is carried out taking into account the goals and objectives of the enterprise based on taking into account its capabilities, as well as factors of the internal and external environment. The management of the organization's competitiveness should be systemic, and the set of measures aimed at the realization of the established goals should be constantly revised based on the comparison of the obtained results with the planned indicators and taking into account changes in the conditions of the competitive environment in which the enterprise operates. It was determined that the areas of increasing competitiveness include technological, organizational, economic, social, legal and commercial components, which form a single mechanism for ensuring the competitiveness of the enterprise.
SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MECHANISMS FOR ENSURING THE ECONOMY ENERGY’S SECURITY
Authors:   National University ", Shchurov Igor ,   Yury Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic"
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to researching the problems of the national economy energy security and evaluating the effectiveness of the mechanisms of its provision in modern conditions. The proposed scientific-methodical approach to evaluating the effectiveness of energy security mechanisms provides for the allocation of three main components: resource, economic, and energy efficiency. The presented algorithm for integrated assessment of the energy security mechanisms' effectiveness includes four stages. The dynamics of integral indicators of each component of the provisioning mechanism were studied. It was established that the period under study (2009–2020) is characterized by the instability of the energy security sphere, which is associated with geopolitical challenges and the transformation of Ukraine’s energy system to EU requirements. It was substantiated that conducting a SWOT analysis of energy security, taking into account the obtained indicators of the mechanisms of its provision effectiveness, makes it possible to determine modern trends, features, and future opportunities of Ukraine in the energy sector. At the same time, it is important to take into account the peculiarities of the internal and external environment of the national economy, its strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The obtained results make it possible to diagnose the mechanisms of ensuring energy security, determine their impact on the implementation of the declared energy security strategy, and make appropriate adjustments to the strategic goals and objectives of the prospective energy development of Ukraine’s national economy. It was substantiated in the article that the complexity of the problem of assessing the effectiveness of energy security mechanisms is determined by the dynamics of changes in the functioning of both national economic systems and the global economy. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation mechanisms of the Energy Security Strategy of Ukraine (2021), it was proposed to take into account the economic, resource, energy, environmental, and European integration components. Thus, the implementation of the strategic goals of ensuring the country’s energy security is determined by the effectiveness of organizational-legal and organizational-economic mechanisms, tools, methods, and means.

The analysis of macro- and microeconomic theories of development, sustainability and risk, their essential foundations, genesis and terminological apparatus allows establishing the existence of interrelationships and interdependencies between the categories of "risk", "sustainability" and "development" at different analytical levels, which determine their relevance research in a single context – to create a mechanism for managing the sustainability of an industrial enterprise during the implementation of innovative strategies. There is a high level of correlation between efficiency and riskiness. The main drivers of economic development are risk and competition. Economic progress is ensured by various "risk stratification". Risk is a regulator of the economy, performing a protective (analytical) function. With the help of risk accounting, the most rational development of microeconomic objects, which is the basis of the market, is achieved, and the entire system achieves the necessary balance, stability of functioning and exclusion of crises. Sustainability of an industrial enterprise as an open socioeconomic system: stability as a characteristic of the system in the processes of functioning and development, which can occur only if the system is stable; resilience is the system's ability to: maintain the planned mode of operation in the conditions of external and internal disturbances, restoring its parameters after their deviation due to the influence of various factors; to adapt to the changing conditions of activity, keeping within permissible limits the movement along the target trajectory of development; to preserve oneself, to exist, to realize one's own target function under various changes in the external and internal environment; to return to a state of equilibrium under influences that upset it. Dynamic stability is ensured by the implementation of innovative strategies that contribute to the qualitative and quantitative increase of potential, as well as the adaptive capabilities of the enterprise management system, preventive accounting of risk factors of various genesis that deflect the influence of factors.

Published: April 2023

O presente artigo é resultado da investigação realizada no doutorado, que teve como objeto a organização do ensino de geometria nos anos iniciais de escolarização, com o intuito buscarmos subsídios teóricos-metodológicos com vistas a superar a concepção de ensino presente nas práticas dos professores que lecionam nesta etapa de ensino, em que se enfatiza, predominante, os aspectos empíricos dos conceitos geométricos. Neste texto, focalizamos em revelar a unidade essencial para o ensino de geometria, o significado de conceito e as generalizações teóricas como premissas para a formação do sistema de conceitos. Para tanto, utilizamos como base teórica e metodológica os princípios da Teoria Histórico-Cultural e os pressupostos da Atividade Orientadora de Ensino, por meio dos quais desvelaram que a unidade essencial para a sistematização dos conceitos geométricos se refere ao controle das variações das dimensões dos objetos e espaços. Concluímos afirmando que cada dimensão (comprimento, largura, altura/profundidade) representa uma grandeza que desencadeia as relações de comunalidade e generalidade entre os conceitos inferiores que, quando generalizados em uma categoria hierarquicamente distinta das demais, se tornam superiores, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento das bases do pensamento teórico dos estudantes.

THE EFFECT OF ONLINE ARGUMENTATION AND REFLECTIVE THINKING-BASED SCIENCE TEACHING ON SIXTH GRADERS’ COGNITIVE ABILITIES
Authors: Acar Ömer , Azaklı Zeynep
Published: April 2023

The effect of online argumentation and reflective thinking-based science teaching on sixth-grade students’ epistemic cognition, metacognition, and logical thinking was explored in this study. The research was carried out in the 2020-2021 academic year when all teaching was online due to Covid-19. Students in the study sample were mostly from middle-class families. Students were divided into two groups for one semester; one received online argumentation and reflective thinking-based science teaching (experimental group) whereas the other received only online science teaching (control group). The exploratory factor analyses yielded two factors for epistemic cognition and metacognition questionnaires whereas the logical thinking test was found to be unidimensional. According to the results, experimental group students scored higher than control group students in post-test regulation of cognition and logical thinking. In addition, the experimental group developed knowledge of cognition, regulation of cognition, and logical thinking during the intervention. Although the experimental group scored higher than the control group on the set of post-test epistemic cognition factors, this significance did not appear amongst individual factors. As for the implications of this study, elements of distance learning that may have contributed to the development of students’ cognitive abilities were discussed.

Students’ informal science learning experiences are believed to strongly influence their attitudes toward science and their abilities in the subject. Factors associated with students’ informal science learning experiences include family socioeconomic status and perceived family support. However, little is known about whether perceived family support for children’s formal and informal science learning differs significantly. The present study filled this gap by exploring how students’ perceived family support for formal/informal science learning affected the link between their socioeconomic status and their experiences of informal science learning. Survey data were collected from 486 Chinese grade 4-6 primary school students. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that the students’ socioeconomic status and their informal science learning experiences were significantly and positively correlated. This association was chain-mediated through two categories of perceived family support. Specifically, students’ socioeconomic status affected their informal science learning experiences through the separate mediating role of family support for formal science learning and the sequential mediation of perceived family support for formal and informal science learning. These results uncover the role that family support plays in students’ science education; accordingly, parents are encouraged to help their children learn science both formally and informally.

The study complements previous research on a case study of chemistry lesson plans design and teaching. It has been found that chemistry education in The Gambia has been challenged by ineffective lesson plans design and teaching, and laboratory resources. The consequences have been unsatisfactory learning outcomes. However, what could lead to unsatisfactory learning outcomes in chemistry if basic stoichiometry is considered challenging? This has led the present study to develop a survey research method to assess students' misconceptions on basic stoichiometry. Through a systematic random sampling technique, 285-grade eleventh students were selected. The topics covered in the study included interpreting the pH of common substances, balancing basic stoichiometric equations, and inferences of experimental results. Students’ responses to misconception survey questions were reviewed and analysed. The results indicated that students could be taught some basic principles of stoichiometry. Students who were challenged to correct inferences from experimental results need to develop their knowledge better. Accordingly, the study concluded that chemistry education can indicate the success of introducing basic stoichiometry, including referencing to the lower grades, rather than secondary grades. Nevertheless, what this study could recommend was to examine the possible source and cause of such misconceptions concerning basic stoichiometry reactions and balancing.

Disaster Management and Good Governance: A Review on Chattogram Landslides
Authors: Zahid Dilara , Jahan Dewan Nusrat
Published: April 2023

Introduced by the development organizations, in the early nineties of the twentieth century, the concept of good governance emerged as a powerful tool of government management. The term Disaster Management has also been introduced in Bangladesh in the contemporary period. However, Bangladesh is observing the lack of good governance being an obstacle to disaster management. Without ensuring good governance the rise of the death toll due to natural as well as human-induced disasters such as floods, cyclones, river erosion, drought, fire incidents, launch accidents, or building collapse could not be prevented. This study has particularly focused on revealing the relation of landslides to the eight significant characteristics of good governance. The researchers have collected both the primary and the secondary data and have adopted a qualitative method for analysing the data retrieved from Chattogram metropolitan area (previously known as Chittagong) during the research. This study has tried to establish the argument that, lack of the characteristics of good governance including transparency, accountability, rules of law, participation, responsiveness, consensus, inclusiveness, efficiency, and effectiveness is responsible for occurring disasters like landslides. Thus, this study is expected to open a new edge in academic and development research. This will also help the policymakers cope with the guidelines to create necessary policies.

Consideraciones para la gestión patrimonial en un nuevo escenario de inteligencia artificial
Authors: Cortés Ferreira Cleyton Edison
Published: April 2023

A pesar de que la inteligencia artificial lleva varios años siendo aplicada en diferentes dominios científicos y tecnológicos, su uso ha obtenido un gran salto mediático dada la apertura al público de aplicaciones generativas basadas en las Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). Ante este nuevo escenario, se abre la necesidad de reflexionar sobre sus beneficios y sus riesgos en el ámbito del patrimonio cultural, especialmente ante los nuevos paradigmas que descentran su gestión desde los expertos para orientarla a la participación ciudadana. Para ello, se define brevemente algunas nociones básicas sobre inteligencia artificial y GAN, para luego detenerse en las posibilidades y riesgos asociados a la gestión del patrimonio cultural. Finalmente, se recalca el uso de estas tecnologías como un nuevo campo de oportunidades que debe ser explorado con suficiente cautela dado su carácter emergente, con muchos asuntos tecnológicos y éticos por resolverse.
Permanent Surgical Treatment for Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus in Preterm Infants
Authors: Harada Atsuko
Published: April 2023

While the standard management for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) has not been determined, many patients initially receive temporary treatment such as a ventricular drainage, a ventricular reservoir, or a ventriculosubgaleal shunt. Subsequently, approximately 15% of patients with PHH will require permanent cerebrospinal fluid diversion. Shunt placement is most commonly performed for PHH as permanent treatment. However, shunting still has high complication rates. Since the development of the neuroendoscopic technique has progressed, and indication has been expanded, endoscopic third ventriculostomy with or without choroid plexus cauterization has performed more frequently in recent years in patients with PHH. In this paper, the permanent treatment for PHH will be reviewed based on the latest evidence.
