Authors: Memişoğlu Dilek , Arıkan Akdağ Gül
Published: December 2024

The aim of the study is to introduce the degree of adaptation of the departments of public administration in Turkey and with an institutionalist approach to identify the possible factors that affects this ability to reflect the New Public Governance approach dominance in the field. For this end, the article asserts that indicators such as governance and actor pluralism serve as potent manifestations of the significant shifts occurring within the field of public administration. It then proceeds to evaluate the extent of the reflection of these terms in the curricula of Political Science and Public Administration and Public Administration departments in Turkish universities. Subsequently, it examines the levels of institutionalization within these departments and scrutinizes the power and willingness of academic staff as factors influencing the degree of curriculum adaptation. Based on data collected from the websites of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration and Public Administration in universities, the study constructs two sets of independent variables to test hypotheses and employs independent sample t-tests to assess the magnitude and significance of the impact of each independent variable on the curriculum. Consequently, the findings suggest that institutional power within universities and the power and willingness of actors emerge as fundamental determinants in shaping curriculum alterations within departmental contexts.

Introdução: O Autismo Infantil é definido pelo prejuízo persistente na comunicação, interação social associado a padrões restritos e repetitivos de comportamento, interesses ou atividades. Em relação a epidemiologia, corresponde a 100 a cada 10.000 casos, com aumento significativo com os anos, principalmente no sexo masculino. O objetivo deste artigo é estudar os aspectos epidemiológicos dos atendimentos ambulatoriais dos pacientes com diagnóstico de TEA no Brasil durante o ano de 2022.  Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico, observacional de delineamento ecológico com dados do Sistema de Informações Ambulatoriais (SIA-PA) do DATASUS obtidos por meio do pacote em linguagem R microdatasus. Resultados: Foram atendidos 1.688.352 de indivíduos no período analisado, a maior parte pertenceu ao sexo masculino, na faixa etária de 5-9 anos, da raça/cor branca, sendo atendido no UF e Municipio de residência. O atendimento foi mais frequente durante o período letivo, principalmente na região Sul, com maior prevalência do uso de Risperidona na faixa etária de 5-9 anos, na forma de solução oral. Conclusão: Uma análise de 1.688.352 casos de autismo infantil em 2022 revelou um predomínio de atendimentos a meninos entre 5 e 9 anos de idade e de raça branca. A discrepância na prevalência entre as regiões Sul e Norte destaca a necessidade de políticas de saúde para populações menos desenvolvidas. A Risperidona é comumente prescrita no Brasil devido a efeitos colaterais mais brandos no tratamento do autismo. Conclui-se que é crucial dar maior atenção às crianças autistas, visando melhorar o desempenho escolar e desenvolvimento intelectual.

Objetivo: Avaliar os aspectos epidemiológicos e a distribuição geográfica dos casos de hanseníase entre pessoas de 0 a 14 anos em Mato Grosso durante os anos de 2008 e 2022. Métodos: Estudo de delineamento ecológico com dados obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN-DATASUS) relacionados a casos novos de hanseníase no estado de Mato Grosso, notificados durante janeiro/2008 e dezembro de 2022 entre indivíduos entre 0 e 14 anos. Resultados: Com um total de 2191 casos novos, houve uma taxa de incidência média de 18 casos novos/100.000 habitantes com tendência decrescente durante o período analisado. A maioria dos indivíduos eram pessoas de 10 a 14 anos, do sexo feminino e da raça/ cor parda. A forma operacional mais comum foi a multibacilar e a forma clínica predominante foi a dimorfa. O principal método de detecção foi o exame de contato e a maioria dos pacientes não apresentavam incapacidades. Foi observado um aumento do risco de hanseníase em pacientes do sexo feminino e com idade mais avançada. Os municípios com maiores taxas de incidência foram Querência, Ribeirãozinho e Água Boa. Conclusão: A presença dessa moléstia no estado está, a princípio, historicamente ligado a fatoressocioeconômicos e migracionais. Contudo, há uma permanência dos focos de transmissão evidenciados pelas altas taxas de incidência da doença em crianças e adolescentes, indicando portanto a precariedade da atenção primária no estado e a necessidade de esforços públicos para conter a cadeia de transmissão da doença.

Monotonalidade e tonalidade expandida
Authors: Dudeque Norton
Published: December 2024

Schoenberg normalmente é associado ao método dodecafônico, à música serial e atonal que revolucionou a música do século XX. Mas, com menos frequência, Schoenberg é visto como um teórico que propôs desenvolvimentos no entendimento da tonalidade tradicional. Um dos conceitos inovadores de Schoenberg é sua concepção acerca de monotonalidade, no qual, regiões tonais são sempre relacionadas a uma tonalidade central. Ademais, ao considerar a escala cromática como material referencial das regiões, Schoenberg abre para uma expansão da tonalidade. Assim, em um contexto tonal, a escala cromática, acordes vagueantes, escala de tons inteiros, acordes quartais, tonalidade suspensa (schwebende Tonalität) e flutuante podem ser utilizados gerando uma tonalidade expandida. Neste texto, apresenta-se uma teorização acerca de monotonalidade e tonalidade expandida e aplicadas em análises de duas canções de Schoenberg, Traumleben Op. 6, n. 1 e Natur Op. 8, n. 1.

Transboundary effects of EU environmental policy: before and after European Green Deal
Authors: Kurpas Pavel
Published: December 2024

EU environmental policy primarily addresses the internal problems of the Union. At the same time, due to the size of the EU economy and the vigorous nature of the policy, numerous transboundary effects can arise, resulting in environmental changes in third countries and, indirectly, worldwide. The article examines the negative and positive transboundary externalities of EU environmental policy and speculates on the future international effects of the European Green Deal. The author describes typical examples of externalities of the European environmental regulation. It is revealed that the international trade is the main channel of their distribution. Their negative impact on third countries usually takes the form of excessive use of national natural resources, as well as the form of “carbon leakage” which stems from the EU emissions trading system. Positive externalities encompass the Brussels effect and demonstration effect and contribute to the development of environmental regulation in partner countries. The energy reform and carbon border adjustment mechanism are identified as the most important provisions of the Green Deal’s international dimension. The potential impact of the Green Deal’s transboundary externalities is described in the form of scenarios for different groups of countries. African hydrocarbon exporters are expected to suffer the greatest damage. At the same time, they have the best prospects for green transformation. Other countries are likely to be forced to speed up the decarbonisation of their economies in the medium term, while the most developed and powerful of them, such as the United States and China, stand to benefit by the expanding demand for environmental technologies
Threats to national economies from the uncontrolled movement of capital and mechanisms for their relief
Authors: Arhipov Aleksey
Published: December 2024

The financial authorities of many countries involved in the process of globalizing the world economy are observing the positive consequences of including their country in a single financial network, forgetting about the need to monitor potential threats. The increasing volume of cross-border transactions creates the illusion of improving the national economy, since along with capital imported from abroad, the country gets the opportunity to boost its economic development. The international movement of capital (IMC), being an integral part of globalization, creates the misconception that there are inexhaustible resources for the development and further accumulation of national wealth, but foreign investors are not always interested in the development of the economy of their host country. False expectations from capital coming from abroad create excessively high risks for the national economy, which is confirmed by numerous examples of the implementation of these risks in many countries that have entrusted their economic well-being to the process of globalization. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the existence of risk from uncontrolled cross-border transactions. The practical significance of the article is expressed in the assessment of the effectiveness of the control mechanisms used in different countries for MDK in crisis situations. This article examines examples of the negative impact of the IMC on the economies of Argentina (2011-2016), India (1991-1995) and Malaysia (1997-1998) based on statistics from the IMF and the World Bank, as well as the experience of these countries in overcoming financial problems that arose due to insufficiently strict capital control policies. The analysis made it possible to assess the need and effectiveness of using strict administrative control mechanisms for IMC in a crisis. However, this article does not provide a universal methodology for determining the most effective control mechanisms, which may be the subject of study in future studies.
The study of theoretical and methodological aspects of the conceptual and empirical relationship between innovative macrofinancial policy and long-term economic growth
Authors: Matrizaev Bahadyr
Published: December 2024

This article presents the results of a study of individual theoretical, methodological and empirical aspects of the relationship between innovative macrofinancial policy and long-term economic growth. The research revealed that the scale of innovation largely depends on government subsidies and investment preferences. Improving the quality of innovation requires innovation in the relevant field and contributions to subsequent technological innovations. The quality of innovation depends more on another level of factors and the flow of information. Firms prefer to engage in high-quality innovation activities for the sake of market competition, and the factor of institutional conjuncture has less impact on the quality of innovation. Thus, the article explores the hypothesis that, all other things being equal, deviation from the GDP target weakens the innovative effect of government subsidies. The study was conducted based on the empirical experience of countries with fast-growing economies, in particular, such as China, India, etc. The results also show that asymmetric effects affect the number of innovations rather than their quality. The heterogeneity shows that R&D subsidies are more dependent on the deviation of the GDP target and reduce the effectiveness of corporate innovation compared to non-R&D subsidies. In addition, the asymmetric innovation effect of government subsidies is more noticeable in companies that are subject to less institutional control. Empirical results obtained as a result of econometric calculations and estimates allow us to take a fresh look at the innovative effect of government subsidies through the prism of deviations from the GDP target

Authors: Ivantsov Dmitry , Nalivaichenko Ekaterina
Published: December 2024

With the development of the digital economy and the expansion of crowd technologies, traditional investing is complemented by alternatives, among which crowdfunding is one of the most accessible and promising areas of network communications. In the current conditions of declining opportunities for traditional financing, an increase in the number of crowdfunding platform operators and an improvement in the quality of investment assistance services contributes to the development of innovations and social initiatives.
The purpose of the article is a comprehensive study of the fundamental principles of the formation and development of crowd technologies to determine the substantive characteristics of crowdfunding. The objectives of the study are: analysis of the essence and formation of crowdfunding based on a study of the main approaches to the interpretation of this definition; allocation of economic and social functions of crowdfunding activities; characterization of crowdfunding models on various platforms; formation of a general and specific classification of crowdfunding, as well as determination of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of crowdfunding activities.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in the systematization of interpretations and functions of crowdfunding, identification of the main types and models of public financing, identification of the advantages of using crowdfunding as one of the types of alternative investment. The authors identified social functions in addition to the economic component of crowdfunding activities; presented an algorithm for implementing a crowdfunding project, including general stages of interaction between the borrower and the operator and investors of the platform. The differentiation of models for collecting and returning funds from investors depending on the crowdfunding platforms used was revealed; the main criteria for classifying crowdfunding activities were identified: types of civil law entities (individuals, legal entities) participating in crowdfunding, and types of incentives offered by the authors of the project to investors.
A conclusion was made about the advantages of using alternative financing, as well as the prospects for new crowdfunding technologies and their further research.

Published: December 2024

The article examines the activities of state and municipal authorities in the implementation of the project «Clean Water». The set of organizational, managerial and economic relations for providing the population with clean drinking water is analyzed. The main reasons for bad-th position in providing the population with clean water technology from water sector and insufficient investment, required in the new water treatment technology, water treatment and sanitation, the result of which is that the poor quality of water services, widespread pollution of water sources in industrial and domestic sewage. It is proved that if in the coming years it is not possible to lay the foundations and create mechanisms for the transition of the water supply sector to an innovative development model, then we can expect a further deterioration in the situation in the field of providing clean water to the population.
Innovative approaches to the implementation of the «Clean Water» project (institutional support of the project implementation process; development and application of new technologies for water treatment and water supply; use of new organizational and managerial approaches to improving the economic and social efficiency of water supply to the population) are justified. The elements of the institutional support of the Clean Water project are shown.
Based on the analysis of the process of water supply and water supply in the Vologda region, the possibility of implementing the project «Clean Water» is justified. The theoretical and methodological analysis of the formation and development of program approaches to providing clean drinking water to the population is carried out, the need for an innovative approach to the implementation of the strategic directions of the State Program «Clean Water» is justified.
Justified budgetary efficiency index, which is defined as the ratio of the volume of investments from the Federal budget allocated for this object to the planned target of increasing the share of the population with quality drinking water from centralized water supply systems. It is shown that the achievement of goal-setting in the field of water supply and water supply, including in the implementation of the Clean Water project, should take into account social factors, organizational, managerial and institutional influences, and factors that counteract the achievement of a synergistic effect
Comprehensive methodology for assessing risks in foreign trade transactions
Authors: Fal'chenko Oksana , Stremousova Elena , Eremin Artem
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the study is due to the insufficient development of a systematic approach to risk management at each stage of a foreign trade transaction, which is especially important in the context of increased uncertainty and external challenges, as well as the need to create a comprehensive methodological toolkit that allows identifying, assessing and minimizing the risks typical for all stages of foreign trade transactions. The purpose of the study is to develop and test a comprehensive methodology for assessing the risks of a foreign trade transaction, which includes a methodological toolkit for managing risks at all stages of a foreign trade operation, including finding a supplier and conducting preliminary negotiations, concluding a foreign trade contract, paying for and shipping goods from the seller’s warehouse, delivering goods to the buyer and customs clearance, and receiving goods by the buyer. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of an original methodology that links each stage of a foreign trade transaction (from finding a supplier to receiving goods) with its inherent risks, which allows for targeted assessment and development of measures to minimize them. The authors tested their proposed methodology using the example of a conditional foreign trade transaction for the supply of equipment from China. The result of the study was a summary table of the calculation of expenses and profitability of a foreign trade transaction, demonstrating the practical applicability of the proposed methodology using the example of calculations of a transaction for importing equipment from China. The findings indicate that the developed methodology allows for forecasting, identifying and managing risks at each stage of a foreign trade transaction, including finding a supplier, concluding a contract, paying for goods, transportation, customs clearance and receiving goods, and the universality of the methodology determines its practical significance and the possibility of application by companies in the field of foreign economic activity.

Entrepreneurial crowdfunding platforms have become a vital component of modern finance, connecting entrepreneurs with potential investors and enabling the flow of significant financial transactions. However, these platforms are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, including fraud, identity theft, and data breaches. Machine learning (ML) offers a dynamic solution to these challenges, providing real-time detection, prevention, and mitigation of cyberattacks. This paper reviews the role of machine learning in enhancing the security of crowdfunding platforms, focusing on specific ML algorithms suited for fraud detection, identity verification, and transaction monitoring. It also explores the integration of ML-based security tools into existing platform architectures, real-time detection mechanisms, and the challenges of implementing ML in cybersecurity, such as ethical concerns and limitations in addressing sophisticated attacks. The paper concludes by discussing future trends, including advanced AI models, collaborative defense systems, and cross-platform threat intelligence sharing, as crucial elements for improving the cybersecurity of entrepreneurial crowdfunding platforms.

Living Faith in Adversity: The Psalms of Solomon Proposal
Authors: Colinas-Blanco José
Published: December 2024

Pseudepigraphic Literature is a privileged place from which to explore the experience of the faith in Judaism at the turn of the era. This article studies the Psalms of Solomon, specifically Psalms 2, 8 and 17, to determine how the loss to the Romans of jewish soverignty affected this group. To this end, we follow Lloyd Bitzer's theory of the Rhetorical Situation to reconstruct the historical context in which each psalm arosue. Moreover, we analyse the modus vivendi that the psalmists propose at each specific moment to its addressees. In this way, we actualize the guidelines established to maintain faith  and identity of the group during the post-war period. We conclude that faithfulness to the covenant and trust in God as the only one who has the capacity to resolve the crisis are proposed as the keys to maintaining the group's identity.

El viento y el mar en Mc 4,35-41. Una interpretación desde el giro ontológico
Authors: Cadenas  Cardo Miguel Ángel , Berjón Martínez Manuel M.
Published: December 2024

Context and contextual perspective are crucial for reading passages of the Bible. With this in mind, we turn to a new way of reading known as the "ontological turn". We focus on the wind and the sea, elements that have suffered from "ontological cornering", and put them in their place. We consider the nature-culture relationship to be a continuum where a "mutual constitution of intertwined agencies" is produced. We thus contribute elements that are significant in times of climate change. We conclude by discarding the interpretation that considers Jesus to be "Lord of nature" and propose instead the category of "protector of the cosmic order".
Pueblo de Dios y sacerdocio común: algunas claves para profundizar en la sinodalidad
Authors: Bogónez Herreras Fernando
Published: December 2024

The Church, at the dawn of the third millennium, aims to follow the path of synodality. Pope Francis has embraced this commitment as programmatic. In this sense, it is hepful to deepen our understanding of the image of the People of God, with which the constitution Lumen Gentium referred to the Church, and its priestly dimmension. The baptized as companions on the journey, constitute the People of God who, summoned from among the peoples, express their social, historical and missionary dimension. Whereas the common priesthood in which we participate allows us to conceive of the believer's life as a dedication to the mission of proclaiming the Gospel.
Los primeros escritos cristianos en latín
Authors: Álvarez  Cineira David
Published: December 2024

Tertullian, the first known Christian author to write in Latin, was active in Africa at the end of the second century. In the same region, anonymous martyrial writings in Latin were already circulating prior to his words (Acts of the Scillitan Martyrs, ca. AD 180). Although some have atributed to Pope Victor the title of the first Latin Christian writer in Rome, this claim lacks conclusive evidence. It is possible that the earliest Roman Christian works in Latin were the translations of 1 Clement and Hermas, while the earliest Latin translatinos of the NT would have taken place in Africa. This suggests that the Latinisations of Christian communities in Africa preceded those in Rome, which would be explained by the local linguistic configuration and the steady flow of Greek-speaking Eastern Christian migrants to the imperial capital.
Tras las huellas del "hombre interior" en el Oriente Bíblico: los hábitos del corazón en la antropología egipcia
Authors: Vives Cuesta Alfonso
Published: December 2024

In the contemporary philosophical, theological and ecclesiastical panorama, in which new anthropological interests are emerging to explore the interiority of man, we propose a reading of the process of formation of the "inner man" in Egiptian religious literature. The study of the habits of the heart, as the nucleus of the person, will offer an image of the human being that is compatible with a proper biblical anthropology and will contribute to a better understanding of it. It offers a "constellative" image of the human being, whose inner quest culminates in the interpersonal encounter with the divine in the act of prayer.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan koneksi matematik dan self confidence siswa melalui model pembelajaran kontekstual. Penelitian in merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu tes uraian dan angket self confidence.

Hal itu dapat terlihat dari kesalahan siswa dalam pengerjaan tes uraian. Sementara itu, meskipun hasil tes uraian koneksi matematik masih rendah, namun skala sikap self confidence siswa tersebut sudah cukup baik yaitu 72,15%.

LIKOVNOST DJETETA RANE I PREDŠKOLSKE DOBI KROZ PRIZMU ODRŽIVOG RAZVOJA
Authors: Hrzić Zrinka
Published: December 2024

Umjetničko izražavanje djeteta rane i predškolske dobi dio je cjelovitog odgojno obrazovnog procesa koji pozitivno utječe na razvoj kreativnosti, maštovitosti te potiče emocionalnu inteligenciju. Mnogi umjetnički mediji poput scenske lutke, glazbe, plesa, likovnosti pomažu djetetu da se izrazi i kad se ono ne zna verbalno izraziti. Djetetova likovnost ima duboke poveznice s njegovom duhovnom i moralnom dimenzijom. Balić ističe kako likovno izražavanje bilo kojom tehnikom djeluje terapeutski. Kroz ovaj rad promatrat ćemo rad na projektu „Likovnost u očima djece“ koji je bio realiziran u gradu Zagrebu. U projektu se radilo sa prirodnim bojama koje su kao dio likovnih tehnika pomogle djeci da se spontano i autentično izraze. Odgojitelj u procesu likovnog izražavanja treba uvažavati i prepoznavati prirodne i urođene kreativnosti djeteta, njegovati ih i razvijati putem različitih medija. Uzimajući rukom kist ili olovku, češer ili žir, papir ili foliju, dijete nailazi na novi izazov na putu svog samorazvoja. Svaki pokret ruke otkriva mu jedan novi svijet za samostalnost i samoodrživost. Održivi razvoj kao poticaj današnjem čovjek pa i djetetu jest izazov koji jača svijest o okruženju u kojem živi te brigu kako održati prirodne resurse kao one koji doprinose cjelovitom razvoju djeteta rane i predškolske dobi.

Mnemonici su tehnike ili mentalne strategije koje se koriste za poboljšanje memorije i olakšavanje pamćenja informacija. Upotrebom mnemonika u kognitivnim procesima sa elementima asocijativnog i divergentnog razmišljanja obezbeđuju se sigurnija retencija, pamćenje i efikasnija upotreba apstraktnih pojmova prilikom prisećanja i korišćenja formula iz fizike, rešavanja problema ili primene naučnih koncepata
