The Humanitarian Crisis in the Gaza Strip, its Impact on the Peace Process in the Middle East and the Humanitarian Sphere of World Politics
Authors: Rustamova L. R.
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Humanitarian crises in the conflicts of recent decades directly affect the security of not only neighbouring states, but also undermine the established system of humanitarian cooperation between states. Non-state actors: terrorist organizations, separatist groups, protest movements, paramilitary religious groups and others that participate in conflicts and choose violent measures, complicate the resolution of conflicts. Despite the fact that all parties to the conflict are obliged to comply with the norms of international humanitarian law, both states and non-state actors are increasingly moving away from the principles of humane treatment of the civilian population. Each of the parties puts forward its own justifications for the indiscriminate approach.

Materials and methods. The study is based on the case study method. An analysis of the changes in the provision of humanitarian aid to the civilian population during the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip makes it possible to draw conclusions about the current trends in the development of the humanitarian sphere as a whole. The author used materials from Russian and foreign media, UN and INGO reports, and international treaties.

Reseach results. The conflict complicated the peace process, normalization of relations between Israel and Arab states, and also exposed the problem of politicization of humanitarian aid. Politicization manifested itself not only in the assessment of the conflict itself, which has long divided the world community, but first of all, for the first time, it had such a large-scale impact on the UN humanitarian aid institutions and various INGOs. The politicization of the conflict also resulted in the manifestation of a "cancel culture", which stigmatized the parties to the conflict and complicated the activities of humanitarian organizations in providing assistance to the civilian population.

Discussion and conclusion. However, the most serious consequences are not only in the area of worsening the humanitarian situation, threats to civilians and employees of intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations involved in providing humanitarian aid to the affected population, collecting information on the situation of civilians, the balance of power and compliance with international humanitarian law, but also in the area of compliance with the principles of humanitarian aid themselves. The humanitarian community is divided between those who support Israel's position and its stated "right to self-defense" and those who advocate for its accountability along with Hamas for what the UN SecretaryGeneral called "excessive use of force". An analysis of the impact of humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip on the process of conflict resolution is of great scientific interest, and its results can enrich knowledge not only about the peace process itself, but also about the role of humanitarian sphere in world politics.

Published: January 2025

Introduction. In the context of the transformation of the international relations system and the world's movement towards a multipolar structure, Russian-Chinese relations have received a new impetus for development. The confrontation with the Western countries has opened a window of opportunity for deepening economic cooperation between the two countries. Despite the growth in trade turnover recorded in 2023, there remain areas of partnership with significant potential. At the same time, one of the main problems facing Russian-Chinese cooperation at the present stage is the shortage of competent personnel and the low level of knowledge of Russians and Chinese about each other.

The article presents the results of sociological surveys conducted among Chinese students and specialists, which revealed their attitude towards cooperation with Russia. The surveys showed that young Chinese are interested in the development of Russian-Chinese relations, especially in the field of infrastructure projects. The study, conducted by MGIMO with the support of the CITIC Foundation, Beijing Normal University and China’s University of International Relations, identified the most promising areas for cooperation between the two countries.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the current state and prospects of bilateral economic cooperation in some areas based on the results of sociological surveys of Chinese citizens of various age groups. 

Materials and methods. In the course of the work, such methods of scientific knowledge as analysis, synthesis, generalization, analogy, induction, deduction, forecasting were used; sociological surveys were conducted. Foreign and Russian scientific articles, statistical data, and media publications devoted to various aspects of the development of bilateral projects between Russia and China were used as research materials.

Research results. The analysis of the data obtained revealed that the majority of respondents consider infrastructure sectors to be the most promising for cooperation between the two countries, and public-private partnership (PPP) is perceived as an effective mechanism for implementing Russian-Chinese infrastructure projects.

Discussion and conclusion. The study showed that in the face of Western pressure on Russia and China, the two countries should deepen economic cooperation. The transformation of the world order and the growing influence of developing countries create favorable conditions for increasing cooperation. Chinese youth are interested in joint projects in the fields of infrastructure, transport, energy, manufacturing, agriculture, science, and tourism. The key role in the success of such cooperation is played by the training of qualified personnel. It is necessary to develop not only trade and economic ties, but also cultural, social, scientific and educational relations.

Authors: Corrêa Shirlei De Souza , Moraes Marilú Aparecida Carlini De , Alves Cleide , Fortunato Daniele Jociane , Bolsan Denise
Published: January 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to understand how the inclusion processes in contemporary education have contributed to the paradigm shifts regarding life in society.
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical foundation is based on documents and legislation related to inclusion, such as the Salamanca Statement (1994), the Inclusion Law (2015), and authors like Pletsch et al. (2007), Mantoan (2026), and Nunes (2015). These authors indicate that over the last few decades, the understanding of the needs of people with disabilities has evolved, resulting in a new proposal for life in society, which directly reflects in school contexts and, particularly, in educational practices that were previously centered around a segregated system and selective integration.
 
Method: From a methodological standpoint, it is emphasized that the research was carried out through a bibliographical study of a qualitative nature. Following the methodological approach, several steps were taken, namely: selection of legislation related to Inclusive Education; selection of studies from the Scielo database between 2010 and 2024, focusing on the thematic of paradigm changes related to inclusive education; and, finally, a descriptive analysis of the collected material, in order to identify strengths and/or weaknesses related to the inclusion process.
 
Results and Discussion: The results indicate that many educational practices have been developed and are moving towards ensuring these rights, contributing to inclusion processes. In this sense, it is emphasized that the inclusion paradigm proposes the transformation of educational and social structures so that everyone can participate fully, regardless of their conditions.
 
Research Implications: The implications of this research draw attention to the fact that, although official documents aim to ensure rights, much still needs to be done, especially in the school context, to move beyond the mere inclusion of people with disabilities and, in fact, achieve true inclusion.
 
Originality/Value: This study allows for the exploration of complex issues that have increasingly been at the center of discussions regarding life in society, especially because discussions on inclusion go beyond school settings and reach the workplace, relationships, and all aspects of life in society.

In this framework, this study establishes a theoretical framework on the axis of power of the purse with political accountability in representative democracy. Subsequently, we will focus on the effectiveness of the Turkish Grand National Assembly on the budget, which will be analyzed on the axis of the power of the purse with the political accountability during the five years (2019-2023) in that time, the presidential government system implemented.
 
Method: The research employed mostly official written publications, e.g. Parliament's statistics and Constitutional Court Decisions and the internet was used as a source of information collection.
 
Results and Discussion: After 2018, the Turkish government system has become a presidential type of government system called the Presidential Government System.  Following this transformation, the political meaning of the budget, final account process, and political accountability system have been fundamentally affected.
 
Research Implications: This research is expected to evaluate the institutional and legal structure of political accountability and the Parliament's effectiveness in the new government system's presidential type.
 
Originality/Value: This Study offers an analysis of political accountability in the new government system presidential type, alongside the effectiveness of the Turkish Grand National Assembly on the budget.

Introdução: A doença de Crohn é uma doença inflamatória intestinal que pode atingir qualquer parte do trato gastrointestinal em qualquer idade, contudo, só 10% dos doentes serão diagnosticados antes dos 17 anos. A sua etiologia é desconhecida, não havendo, ainda, uma terapia curativa. A apresentação clínica é heterogénea, com períodos de remissão e exacerbação, condicionando várias comorbilidades aos doentes, assim como dificuldades no seu diagnóstico. Dor abdominal, diarreia crónica e perda ponderal são os sintomas mais comuns, contudo as manifestações orais podem também surgir como primeiros sintomas da doença. O seu diagnóstico é baseado na combinação de exames, desde analíticos, microbiológicos, endoscópicos, imagiológicos e histológicos. Perante sintomas gastrointestinais deverão ser realizadas endoscopias com biópsias, estabelecendo-se o diagnóstico histológico pela presença de granulomas não caseosos e de anormalidades da arquitetura das criptas, em conjunto com infiltrado inflamatório. O tratamento da doença é individualizado, podendo ser utilizados imunomoduladores, com o objetivo de alcançar a remissão clínica e endoscópica de forma prolongada. Descrição do Caso Clínico: Menino de 9 anos, orientado na consulta de Gastroenterologia Pediátrica, por queixas de dor abdominal, diarreia e perda ponderal com 4 meses de evolução, cuja avaliação analítica demonstrou elevação dos parâmetros inflamatórios e da calprotectina fecal. Dada suspeita clínica de doença de Crohn, foi submetido a endoscopias com biópsias que demonstraram lesões sugestivas de duodenite inespecífica. Em consulta, foi referida dor na mucosa oral, tendo sida solicitada colaboração de Estomatologia. Ao exame da cavidade oral observou-se uma mucosa com aspeto ´pedra de calçada´ do vestíbulo, à esquerda, associada a ulceração serpiginosa. Foi realizada biópsia da lesão oral, cuja histologia evidenciou uma inflamação granulomatosa não necrotizante. Perante o diagnóstico, o doente iniciou Infliximab estando atualmente com remissão dos sintomas e com boa evolução ponderal. Discussão e Conclusões: Mucogengivite, queilite angular, úlceras ou aspeto ´pedra de calçada´ da mucosa oral são as manifestações orais mais comuns da doença de Crohn, sendo que 50-80% das crianças apresentam algum destes sintomas como manifestação inicial. Neste sentido, a deteção precoce destes sinais agiliza o diagnóstico, permitindo instituir um tratamento célere e deste modo melhorar o prognóstico e a qualidade de vida dos doentes.

Cage cleaning is performed by operating a belt conveyor driven by a DC motor, and water replacement is conducted using a water pump. All components are controlled by the NodeMCU ESP32, with monitoring facilitated through the Telegram application. The implementation results demonstrate that the system is effective, achieving sensor accuracies of 95.4%, 97.7%, and 97.36%, respectively, and providing convenience for bird owners in managing and monitoring the system remotely.
Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis in a patient with small cell lung cancer. Case report
Authors: Ognerubov Nikolai A. , Mirsalimova Olga O. , Zemur Mikhail A.
Published: January 2025

Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE) is a rare autoimmune neurological syndrome caused by selective involvement of the limbic system with the development of neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive impairment. PLE is associated with malignancies. We observed PLE in a patient with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Patient B. complained of severe weakness, headache attacks, irritability, memory loss, and cramps in the muscles of the limbs for 2 months. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed signs of PLE. Anti-neuronal antibodies were detected in the blood serum: anti-Hu, anti-CV2 and anti-Ma2, anti-amphiphysin. In the cerebrospinal fluid, anti-Hu antibodies, lymphocytosis of 88%, and increased protein of 0.6 g/L were found. The patient was consulted by a neurologist and diagnosed with PLE. No treatment was administered. After 2 months, the patient reported a significant deterioration. Memory impairment progressed, convulsive seizures with short-term loss of consciousness became more frequent, and the patient became aggressive and withdrawn. Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose was performed. There was an excessive radiopharmaceutical uptake in a limited area of the medial parts of the left temporal lobe. A tumor was detected in the upper lobe of the right lung. A bronchoscopy with biopsy was performed. Histological examination showed SCLC. Clinical diagnosis: SCLC of the right lung, stage IIb cT2bN1M0; PLE. Cytotoxic and immunotherapy were administered. The case shows that PLE is a rare neurological syndrome associated in most cases with SCLC, usually in the early stages of the malignancy. Neuropsychiatric and cognitive disorders and seizures are predominant in clinical presentation. PLE neuroimaging is performed using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose, the latter being the method of choice. The presence of antineuronal antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid confirms the autoimmune (paraneoplastic) nature of the process.
The use of pleiotropic effects of some gastroenterological drugs in the treatment of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular diseases: A review
Authors: Komissarenko Irina A. , Levchenko Svetlana V.
Published: January 2025

The main task of modern medicine is to reduce mortality from cardiovascular diseases. It can be achieved, first of all, by reducing the number of risk factors and treating comorbid conditions, including the currently most common liver disorder – non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The article presents epidemiological data confirming the urgency of the problem, describes the common etiopathogenetic mechanisms of cardiovascular and liver diseases, justifies the use of known pharmaceuticals with pleiotropic effects, considering the principle of multipurpose monotherapy, which is using the systemic effects of one drug to correct the impaired functions of several organs or systems simultaneously.
Child poverty on the island of Ireland
Authors: Maître Bertrand , Russell Helen , Alamir Anousheh , Slevin Eva
Published: January 2025

The effects of poverty in childhood can last a lifetime. Research shows that children living in poverty have lower levels of health and wellbeing, attain lower levels of education, have lower levels of occupational attainment and are more likely to be poor in adulthood.
In this report, we focus on child poverty on the island of Ireland. While child poverty in each jurisdiction has been studied separately, there is an absence of comparative research. A comparative analysis of this sort can help to identify the features of the two systems that are influential in preventing or exacerbating child poverty. In both Ireland and the UK, children have had the highest income poverty rates of all age groups over the past ten years. While child poverty rates worsened over the past decade in the UK (Joseph Rowntree Foundation, 2024), they remained relatively stable in Ireland over the 2000s when measured by household income. However, rates of child material deprivation rose and fell following the pattern of economic boom, bust and recovery (Roantree et al., 2024).
This report sets out to compare child poverty across the two jurisdictions, using a mixed-methods approach with harmonised national survey data on incomes and living standards (SILC and FRS), as well as consultations with stakeholders from both jurisdictions to help identify policy issues most relevant for child poverty in each jurisdiction. The study addresses three research questions:

1. Which groups of children are most vulnerable to poverty in the two jurisdictions?
2. What is the role of household labour market situation and social background in shaping the risk of child poverty in Ireland and Northern Ireland?
3. How do policy approaches to addressing child poverty diﬀer in Ireland and Northern Ireland and how do these policies inﬂuence the patterns of child poverty observed?

The report uses two measures of poverty: Income poverty, which is having a disposable income that is less than 60 per cent of median income for Ireland or the UK; Material deprivation is measured by the lack of access to ﬁve items that are considered as standard within societies and are common to the two data sources, such as arrears on bills or inability to keep the home adequately warm. The consideration of deprivation is important because income alone does not capture the variation in needs and long-term resources of households.
Transcription factor EB (TFEB) activity increases resistance of TNBC stem cells to metabolic stress

Published: January 2025

Breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) are difficult to therapeutically target, but continued efforts are critical given their contribution to tumor heterogeneity and treatment resistance in triple-negative breast cancer. CSC properties are influenced by metabolic stress, but specific mechanisms are lacking for effective drug intervention. Our previous work on TFEB suggested a key function in CSC metabolism. Indeed, TFEB knockdown (KD) inhibited mammosphere formation in vitro and tumor initiation/growth in vivo. These phenotypic effects were accompanied by a decline in CD44high/CD24lowcells. Glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) induced TFEB nuclear translocation, indicative of TFEB transcriptional activity. TFEB KD blunted, whereas TFEB (S142A) augmented 2-DG–driven unfolded protein response (UPR) mediators, notably BiP/HSPA5 and CHOP. Like TFEB KD, silencing BiP/HSPA5 inhibited CSC self-renewal, suggesting that TFEB augments UPR-related survival. Further studies showed that TFEB KD attenuated 2-DG–directed autophagy, suggesting a mechanism whereby TFEB protects CSCs against 2-DG–induced stress. Our data indicate that TFEB modulates CSC metabolic stress response via autophagy and UPR. These findings reveal the novel role of TFEB in regulating CSCs during metabolic stress in triple-negative breast cancer.
Impact of Anisotropic Permeability on Micropolar Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer in Porous Channels
Authors: Vijaya Sree R. , Narla V. K.
Published: January 2025

The current study explores the fluid dynamics and heat transfer characteristics of micropolar fluids within a channel filled with anisotropic porous media. The governing equations for the fluid flow, microrotation, and temperature profiles are numerically solved using Spectral Quasi-Linearization Method (SQLM). The research examines the influence of various key parameters such as the anisotropic permeability ratio, anisotropic angle, Darcy number, Reynolds number, Brinkman number, Prandtl number, and coupling number. Key findings indicate that the anisotropic permeability ratio and anisotropic angle significantly affect fluid flow and heat distribution, with increased anisotropy leading to enhanced microrotation and temperature, albeit  with reduced velocity at the channel center. Higher Darcy numbers result in less restricted flow, increasing velocity and reducing microrotation effects, while increasing the coupling number contributes to a more uniform temperature profile. These results provide significant insights into the optimization of heat transfer and flow control in engineering applications that involve micropolar fluids in porous media.

The results of studies of the current-voltage characteristics of a photodiode heterostructure are presented. Au-nCdS-nSi-pCdTe-Au, in forward and reverse directions. Photodiode heterostructures with an area of 29 mm2 were created, which were obtained by vacuum evaporation in a quasi-closed volume by depositing layers of cadmium sulfide and cadmium telluride onto a single-crystalline silicon substrate with resistivity ρ = 607.47 Ohm∙cm. A distinctive feature of the resulting photodiode Au-nCdS-nSi-pCdTe-Au structures is two-way sensitivity, where impurity complexes are formed. In the structures, the rate of recombination of nonequilibrium carriers at low excitation levels is determined by simple local centers in the boundary transition layers. The band diagram of a multilayer photodiode structure Au-nCdS-nSi-pCdTe-Au has been constructed.

Authors: Mishra Krishna Kumar , Chahar Sonia , Sharma Rajnish
Published: January 2025

The structural, mechanical, electrical and optical properties of double perovskite halides like Rb2CuSbH6 (where H = Cl, Br, and I) for flexible electronic devices are fascinating and complex. Extensive literature survey clearly establishes that there has been limited research on analyzing the potential uses of these materials for the highly sought-after sector of flexible electronic devices. In this paper, focused studies have been carried out on investigating the characteristics of these materials using QuantumATK NanoLab Software Tool. All double perovskite halides Rb2CuSbH6 (H = Cl, Br, I) show positive values for the elastic constants C11, C12, and C44, and obey the stability trend C11>C12>C44. Mechanical stability was established using Born-Huang criteria. Optimized values of Young's modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus and Poisson ratios established that materials are stable and ductile in nature. While carrying out analysis of electronic properties, all three materials Rb2CuSbCl6, Rb2CuSbBr6, and Rb2CuSbI6 were found to be possessing indirect energy bandgap of 0.924 eV, 0.560 eV, and 0.157 eV, respectively. Moreover, the Complex Bandstructure (CB) naturality indicates that most evanescent wave may exist when layer separation is lowest in Rb2CuSbCl6 (6.0 Å), Rb2CuSbBr6 (6.33 Å), and highest in Rb2CuSbI6 (6.8 Å). Absorption bands for Rb2CuSbCl6, Rb2CuSbBr6 and Rb2CuSbI6 lie in the visible range with 344 nm to 574 nm, 348 nm to 688 nm and 369 nm to 608 nm respectively. The reflectivity (r) reported under this study is 0.105, 0.139 and 0.185 respectively for Rb2CuSbCl6, Rb2CuSbBr6 and Rb2CuSbI6. Overall, all the obtained results implicate toward need to explore the Rb2CuSbH6 materials in more depth for variety of electronic device applications.

This study investigates the effect of charge transport layers on the efficiency of Poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH_PPV) and Zirconium Disulfide (ZrS₂) solar cells using Scaps-1D software. It was found that by increasing the MEH-PPV thickness and decreasing its acceptor doping concentration, the efficiency (μ%), fill factor (FF), and short-circuit current density (Jsc ) decreased. Conversely, increasing the thickness of the ZrS₂ electron transport layer and decreasing its donor doping density enhanced the efficiency (μ%) and short-circuit current density (Jsc) while maintaining a constant open-circuit voltage (Voc). These results can be attributed to decreased charge separation and collection in MEH-PPV and reduced optical path length in ZrS2. On the other hand, the back contact with work function is below 4.65 eV, the MEH-PPV/ZrS2 solar cells produced the lowest efficiency compared to different types of back contact. Under optimal conditions, MEH-PPV/ZrS2 solar cell shows a high efficiency of 21% when the dopant concentration of MEH-PPV and the value of the neutral defect density at the ZrS2/ MEH-PPV interface are 1022 cm-3 and 109 cm-3 respectively.

This work investigates the problem of a linear crack in the middle of a uniform elastic medium under normal tension-compression loading. The direct Finite Element numerical procedure is used to solve the fractured media deformation problem, which also includes an examination of the dynamic field variables of the problem. A Finite Element algorithm that satisfies the unilateral Signorini contact constraint is also described for solving the crack faces' contact interaction, as well as how this affects the qualitative and quantitative numerical results while calculating the dynamic fracture parameter.
HUNGARY АND DUTCH FENCING DIPLOMACY AFTER THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Marácz László
Published: January 2025

In the restoration of Hungarian sovereignty after the First World War, the Hungarian officers of the Austro-Hungarian Army (K. und k. Leger) played an important role. They were generally trained at the Austro-Hungarian Military Academy, the Theresianum in Wiener-Neustadt, Austria, where they were required to participate in a course to become a teacher of military fencing and gymnastics. These military fencers made a significant contribution to the reconstruction of Hungarian state institutions after the First World War. This article argues that a delegation of Dutch military fencers led by one of the most promi-nent fencers of his time Adriaan Egbertus Willem ‘Arie’ de Jong (1882-1966) established close contact with the Hungarian fencing elite and that these fencing contacts were part of a broader Dutch diplomatic offensive to re-involve the coalition of the Central Powers and their successor states in European political relations. The fencing activities of Arie de Jong and his team and in the background the sports diplomatic activities of Olympic fencer and sports director George van Rossem (1882-1955) were of decisive im-portance in regaining Hungary a position in international sports organizations in post-war Europe.

The article examines the transformation of Russian-Chinese interaction in Central Asia against the background of China’s growing presence in the region, which is particularly relevant in the context of global geopolitical changes and increasing international tensions.The purpose of the research is to critically analyze the relationship between the official discourse of strategic partnership and the actual dynamics of Russian-Chinese interaction in Central Asia. The work focuses on studying economic presence, transformation of migration processes, changes in military-political influence, and educational space.The methodological basis of the research consists of a comprehensive approach combining quan-titative and qualitative methods of empirical data analysis for the period 2010-2023. Official statistical materials, interstate agreements, data from expert-analytical centers, and results of sociological research were used.Based on systematic analysis, the formation of an asymmetric rivalry model has been identified, where behind the facade of declared strategic partnership, there is a consistent replacement of Russian influence by Chinese presence, which is confirmed by quantitative indicators.The scientific significance of the research lies in the development of theoretical approaches to the analysis of Russian-Chinese relations, demonstrating the need for a differentiated consideration of global and regional levels of interaction. The work makes a substantial contribution to understanding the mech-anisms of regional balance of power transformation and the peculiarities of major powers’ interaction at the regional level.The practical value of the results lies in their potential use in forming Russia’s foreign policy strategy in Central Asia and adjusting mechanisms for maintaining regional influence in conditions of growing competition with China.The practical significance of the research is determined by its value for developing balanced foreign policy by Central Asian states in conditions of increasing competition between Russia and China. The results of the work allow regional countries to optimize their participation in various integration proj-ects, improve investment attraction mechanisms, and develop more effective strategies for multi-vector diplomacy.
THE ROLE OF RELATIONSHIP MARKETING IN CONSUMER PURCHASE DECISION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY
Authors: Al-Shukry Bushra Shaker Abdul Hussein
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study seeks to investigate the function of relationship marketing in consumer purchasing decisions.
 
Theoretical Framework: As a result of the significant changes witnessed in the last millennium at the global level in all spheres of life, perhaps the most prominent is the shift from the planned economy to the market economy, as well as the pressures of intense competition, the emergence of globalization, the information and technology revolution, the rise in levels of foreign investment, and the enormous increase in the number and types of products, services, and brands. It significantly influenced the decisions of consumers.
 
Method: Our study consists of a qualitative setting; thus, we have utilized the depth method, which helped us clarify the relation between consumer purchase decisions and relationship marketing from the perspective of both the consumer and the company, using semi-structured and unstructured interviews.
 
Results and Discussion: The results indicate that the foundation for achieving growth and sustainability in the markets is to attract the greatest number of customers possible, to strive for their satisfaction and gain loyalty, to work on establishing permanent partnership relationships with all customers, and to treat each customer as if it were its market division.
 
Research Implications: From a managerial application perspective, an understanding of consumers' expectations of their relationships with sellers would assist marketers in establishing, enhancing, and maintaining these relationships. Marketers need to identify how they can use customer data to improve customer relationships. Permission from customers can provide marketers with the privilege of contacting customers; information such as customer needs makes possible the customization of products and services; and data about the initiation and growth of customer relationships help to ensure effective and timely feedback. Marketers can informally survey their customers by asking about the relevance of various services, or they can formally survey their customers to gain more in-depth customer-specific information.
 
Originality/Value: The findings provide insight into consumers' motivations and attitudes with regard to relationship marketing and suggest a way forward for further research. In particular, a number of ways in which mobile phone companies might seek to encourage consumers to consider value-added service propositions more seriously and become less solely price-sensitive are proposed.

Authors: Kowalski Kacper
Published: January 2025

Artykuł to wypadkowa doświadczeń autora jako młodego badacza zainteresowanego funkcjonowaniem osób z niepełnosprawnościami, będącego jednocześnie praktykiem w obszarze pedagogiki specjalnej. Trzecie doświadczenie mające wpływ na powstanie tekstu to czasowa niepełnosprawność ruchowa, a dokładniej złamanie kości śródstopia i związane z nim unieruchomienie nogi. To wszystko przyczyniło się do refleksji nad niepełnosprawnością w eksplorowanym przez autora zarówno w kontekście badawczym, jak i praktycznym, biopsychospołecznym modelu niepełnosprawności. Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie modelu oraz refleksja czytelnika nad rozumieniem zjawiska niepełnosprawności w kontekście biopsychospołecznym. Cel ten ma został osiągnięty poprzez przybliżenie zarysu zmian w definiowaniu niepełnosprawności oraz zaprezentowanie autorefleksji, jako wyniku małych autoetnograficznych badań, w których podjąłem się analizy bazującej na introspekcji związanych z własnym doświadczaniem chwilowej niepełnosprawności ruchowej.
Językowo-komunikacyjne aspekty trudności szkolnych dzieci z mutyzmem wybiórczym
Authors: Kos Ewa Arleta
Published: January 2025

Komunikacja werbalna jest fundamentalną umiejętnością, która nie tylko ułatwia zdobywanie wiedzy, ale także wspiera rozwój społeczny, emocjonalny i edukacyjny ucznia. Osoby z mutyzmem wybiórczym mają zdolność do komunikacji werbalnej, ale unikają jej w określonych sytuacjach, najczęściej w tych, które wiążą się z presja na mówienie. W związku z tymi problemami często doświadczają trudności szkolnych w różnych aspektach, osiągają niższe wyniki edukacyjne niż pozwalałaby na to ich wiedza i umiejętności.
Niemożność mówienia w pewnych okolicznościach należy do spektrum zaburzeń lękowych. Pojawienie się objawów mutyzmu wybiórczego we wczesnym dzieciństwie może upośledzić dalszy rozwój i niekorzystnie wpłynąć na osiągnięcia edukacyjne dziecka. W niniejszym tekście omówiono naturę trudności językowych i komunikacyjnych dziecka, które wynikać mogą z mutyzmu. Scharakteryzowano specyfikę trudności szkolnych dziecka z mutyzmem wybiórczym, szczególnie w zakresie aktywności związanych z koniecznością wykorzystywania komunikacji werbalnej, lecz nie tylko. Zaakcentowano potrzebę multimetodycznego wsparcia uczniów z mutyzmem na terenie placówek oświatowych w związku z tym, iż maja oni trudność w pełnym, aktywnym udziale w procesie edukacyjnym.
Zwrócono uwagę na konieczność dostosowania środowiska szkolnego i podejścia edukacyjnego. Podkreślono, iż terapia logopedyczna, terapia behawioralna i wsparcie psychologiczne na terenie szkoły mogą pomóc w rozwijaniu umiejętności komunikacyjnych i radzenia sobie z lękiem u dzieci z mutyzmem.

Ból jest zjawiskiem powszechnym. W diagnostyce stanowi ważny sygnał ostrzegawczy, ale jest również problemem klinicznym, zwłaszcza ból przewlekły. Dla osób starszych problem bólu uporczywego jest szczególnie ważny. Wpływa on niekorzystnie na sposób funkcjonowania, uczestniczenie w życiu społecznym, rodzinnym i obniża jakość życia. Istotnym czynnikiem komplikującym jest wielochorobowość i nakładanie się zaburzeń funkcjonalnych osób starszych. Dodatkowym problemem staje się również odrębne podejście do aspektu leczenia bądź kontroli bólu na oddziałach szpitalnych w tym oddziałach intensywnej terapii, ośrodkach leczenia długoterminowego. W pracy przedstawiono najistotniejsze aspekty dotyczące specyfiki diagnostyki i sposobów leczenia bólu u osób w podeszłym wieku.
