Problems in capital in a business field are sometimes the main obstacle for some people who are starting a business, especially the business categorized as MSMEs. There are many factors why MSME actors sometimes have difficulty accessing capital to the banks, such as the absence of guarantees, social gaps and lack of education and information for MSME actors in accessing capital.

Published: July 2024

The Sidomulyo Tourism Village Development Program aims to overcome various problems related to the preparation of job descriptions in it. Sidomulyo Tourism Village, like many other tourism destinations, faces challenges that need to be overcome so that its operations run more smoothly.  One of the main problems faced is the vagueness in the job description which can lead to misunderstandings between workers and managers of Sidomulyo Tourism Village about duties and responsibilities. Sometimes, hired workers do not have qualifications according to the job description, which negatively affects worker performance and satisfaction. Another challenge is crafting job descriptions for unique positions such as tour guides or event organizers who have specific duties. Changes in tourism trends or the local environment can also affect workers' duties. Limited resources for training are an obstacle in improving workers' understanding of their work. Understanding local culture is also important in the tourism industry. To solve this problem, the program offers a solution. Clarification of job descriptions through discussion with workers to identify vagueness. Evaluate the qualifications of workers to ensure conformity with job requirements. Implementation of training programs, workshops, or field trips. Evaluate the impact of training to measure improvements in worker understanding and performance. Adjustment of job descriptions according to the results of evaluations and changes in the industry or environment. Flexibility in dealing with changing tourism trends and the local environment. The aim of the program is for participants to have a better understanding of their duties, history, culture, and local values. This will help them become better ambassadors for Sidomulyo Tourism Village, improve their performance, and contribute to the development of the tourism industry in the village as well as the preservation of the local environment. This program also produces accredited national articles and journals as documentation of the results of their service to the community

Published: July 2024

The development of information and communication technology through the Internet has a significant impact on people's lifestyles, including the practice of blogging as an expression of Internet use. Blogging has penetrated into various aspects of life, one of which is in the context of education. In the world of education, blogs have a very important role as a tool to store and disseminate information online. Its use can be personal, such as for teachers who want to share teaching materials, learning reflections, or personal experiences in the teaching process. On the other hand, educational institutions also utilize it as a platform to provide information to students, parents, and the general public. The main advantage of blogs in education is their ability to present information easily and quickly, without being bound by space and time constraints. In essence, blogs open up wide access to knowledge. The purpose of this activity is to introduce students to basic knowledge and skills in creating blogs that support interaction, in accordance with their respective fields of knowledge. One-day blogging training has proven to be quite effective for teaching the technical details of creating a blog as well as how to load material to be interactive and engaging. More than just technical training, it is the first step towards achieving a larger goal in education. A total of 14 participants from teachers and learning staff of SMPN 2 Jember have taken blogging insight tests before and after the training to support their learning process. The test results showed that before the training, knowledge about blogging was still lacking. However, after the training, participants were able to significantly improve their comprehension, as seen from the increase in the number of questions that can be answered and the higher level of accuracy in the post-test session. Thus, future follow-up activities related to the introduction of blogging for teachers and staff will focus on increasing understanding and knowledge of the role of blogging in creating dynamic learning materials for the improvement of education quality

Brazilian Integralism: A Right-Wing Radical Utopia in the Age of Fascism
Authors: Schelchkov Andrey ,   Institute of the World History of the Russian Academy of Science.
Published: July 2024

The 20s-30s of the 20th century have gone down in history as "the time of fascism", which is quite true for European countries. A unique phenomenon for the countries of the "South" was the emergence of a mass fascist movement in Brazil - Integralism, which proposed a new model of state-hood and economic system based on nationalism, authoritari-anism, and corporatism common to all fascist movements. Meanwhile, this movement had a number of striking differ-ences from its European counterparts: multiculturalism, non-ethnic and non-racial nationalism, and anti-imperialism. Inte-gralism was Brazil's first truly mass nationwide political movement in its history, whose main difference was the regionalization of politics and the disunity of the elites of the different provinces of the country, thus presenting a model of integration and nationwide modernization of the country. This article analyzes the ideological, political and programmatic foundations of Integralism, its political aspirations and practices.
For a critical appraisal of the concepts “Global South” and “South-South Cooperation”
Authors: Pereira da Silva Fabricio ,   Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro
Published: July 2024

The article proposes a history of the concepts of “Global South” and “South-South Cooperation” and suggests that it has been progressively moving away from critical meanings and promises of transformation of the world system and the international arena. A fashionable concept in the international debate and of vague geographical/geopolitical origin, “Global South” has been associated or sharing space with other ideas that are even vaguer than it, such as “developing countries” and “emerging countries”. To make this brief history of the concept, it will be interesting to map ideas throughout a global history (since it began to exist) that have served to name roughly the same geographical space that today corresponds to the Global South. The article defends the thesis that, among all the alternatives that have already been developed, the notions of “center/periphery” and “dependency” are the ones with the greatest critical and emancipatory potential.

Authors: Sefer Gelen ,   St. Petersburg University
Published: July 2024

Image is an important concept not only for the individuals, but also for the states, which have an inherent desire to create a favourable image in their relations with other countries, and international organisations and the international community as a whole. In the modern world, with more and more means and opportunities for interaction and communication, states develop and implement systematic public policies to further enhance their international image. The policy makers of the Turkısh Republıc are actively pursuing an image-buıldıng po-licy in the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Balkans, as well as in distant geographies such as La-tin America, in order to improve Turkey's image positively with arguments supported by Islamic identity, Turkish nationalism and the claim of an imperial heritage. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Turkey has paid great attention to the formation of its positive image in different regions of the world. This study focuses on Turkey's policy on its foreıgn image in Latin America.
“Pink Tide” in Latin America: Strategy and Tactics of the New Left
Authors: Iwanowski Zbigniew ,   Institute of Latin America of the Russian Academy of Cience,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

The article examines the main ideological currents of the Lat-in American left, the reasons for the “left drift” of the early 21st century, so as the particularities and consequences of the new “pink wave.” The author notes that despite the radical slogans, the new left is closer to the center-left preaching the ideas of social democracy. Unlike classical Marxists, they do not offer a model of an alternative society. In the economic sphere, priority is given not to economic growth, but to the development of science, innovative technologies and digitali-zation, the social sphere is based on solving pressing prob-lems and greater justice. The new generation of leftists advo-cates strict adherence to democratic principles; the environmental component also occupies a large place in their programs. Priority attention is paid to overcoming the discrimination of various categories of citizens, to social inclusion and gender issues. Foreign policy is based on multivector and mutually beneficial relations with all states.
“Сommunism is declared in Сoahuila”. Episode from the history of the Mexican Revolution (1912)
Authors: Damier Vadim ,   Institute of the World History of the Russian Academy of Science.
Published: July 2024

The article deals with a little-known and little-studied episode from the history of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1917, the proclamation of communism by anarchist guerrillas in the state of Coahuila in 1912. A brief but vivid history of the guerrillas, organized by the Magonists from the Mexican Lib-eral Party (PLM) at one of the key moments of the revolution, is considered in the context of the general role of the anar-chist movement at various stages of the revolution in Mexico, of evolution of its ideology, strategy and tactics. An attempt has been made to assess the significance of the events under consideration for the development of the anarchist movement in the world. PLM, led by brothers Riсardo and Enrique Flo-res Magon, was in 1906-1908 the first political force that launched a rebel movement against the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, and in 1910-1911 made a significant contribu-tion to the overthrow of the regime. However, after this, the leadership of the Mexican Liberal Party officially switched to the position of anarchism, and its supporters tried to organize a guerrilla movement with the aim of carrying out a social revolution in Mexico. Although the PLM rebel forces were crushed by superior government forces in 1912, and many of their members were killed, the proclamation of anarchist communism by a group of guerrillas on February 9, 1912 in the Mexican state of Coahuila, one of the traditional areas of influence of the Magonists, was the first act of this kind in the history of world anarchist movement and served as an example for anarchists in other countries.

Authors: Al-Dmour Rand , Al-Dmour Hani , Al-Dmour Ahmed
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the role of social media quality in mediating the effects of marketing mix strategies on international students’ decisions regarding their study destinations, focusing on Jordanian universities. Integrating consumer behavior theories, the research aims to understand how marketing mix elements—product/program quality, price, location, and promotional activities—impact enrollment decisions. A survey of 2000 international students recently admitted to public and private universities in Jordan yielded a 61% response rate. Empirical analysis shows that marketing mix strategies significantly impact students’ choices and elucidates the mediating role of social media strategies. Interactions on these platforms, such as reviews, ratings, and recommendations, are pivotal in forming perceptions and guiding choices, highlighting the necessity for educational marketers to manage social media content.
Indigenous and International Student Experiences of Navigating Higher Education in Post-Covid and Post-AI Universities
Authors: Hill Guzyal , Woodroffe Tracy , Golebiowska Kate
Published: July 2024

This article contributes a novel perspective on the common vulnerabilities of the Indigenous and international student experiences at higher education institutions in Australia. Through a review of 88 publications in the leading journals we show that the majority of these articles focus on international students rather than Indigenous students. This literature treats Indigenous and international students as separate categories, although they share the campus and common vulnerabilities that have intensified in the post-Covid and post-AI university. While the vulnerabilities of each group in isolation may be considered minor, that serious challenges effect more than one group of students underscores the urgent changes required in the higher education system. We argue that understanding the commonalities of Indigenous and international student experiences could help universities develop more effective support strategies and programs.
“I feel safe when I listen to Korean music!”
Authors: Cho Hyunah
Published: July 2024

By addressing the research question, "How do Korean international students engage in music for their own well-being in the UK?", this study aims to understand a group of international students' experiences of their temporary migrant status and the coping mechanisms they employ in the pursuit of subjective well-being in response to these experiences. After semi-structured interviews, the thematic analysis resulted in five themes: (1) music as a tongbanja 동반자 (companion), (2) music as a safe konggan 공간 (space), (3) music for relationships, (4) music for emotion, and (5) musical demands of international students. This lead to discussions of music as: 'being' a companion and safe space, and 'doing' in relationships and moods, including doing K-pop for ‘re-membering’. Therefore, this study adds depth to understandings of how Korean international students in the UK engage with music to address the challenges they face and, thus, enhance their subjective well-being.
Acculturation strategies and language attitudes in shaping heritage language proficiency in children of Turkish descent in the United States
Authors: Inan Seyma , Harris Yvette R. , Woodbury George
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the relationship between acculturation and language attitudes among Turkish immigrant parents and their children's heritage language proficiency, using Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory (Vygotsky, 1978) and Berry's acculturation theory (Berry, 1997). Fifty-two Turkish parents (M age = 38.15, SD age = 4.84) completed questionnaires on acculturation and language attitudes, while their children (M age = 8.23, SD age = 2.18) completed vocabulary tests. Results reveal a positive correlation between parents' separation attitudes and supportive language practices, emphasizing Turkish use at home. Younger children showed higher heritage language proficiency, highlighting the importance of early language acquisition. Active Turkish usage among siblings also positively impacted proficiency, while passive exposure through media did not. These findings suggest that immigrant parents' cultural integration attitudes shape their language management strategies, influencing their children's heritage language retention.

Authors: Tajvar Maryam , Atashbahar Omolbanin , Ahmadizadeh Elahe , Shaqura Iyad
Published: July 2024

Student life stress, characterized by mental pressure arising from the university life demands, is a significant concern. We aimed to investigate stressors faced by students and their coping mechanisms within an Iranian university. Using a cross-sectional design in 2021, we selected 165 international students through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a standardized student life stress questionnaire. The mean score of students' stresses was (63 ± 17), with self-imposed stress being the most prevalent stressor (64%), while conflict was the least prevalent (44%). When examining students' reactions to stressors, the mean score was (64 ± 21), with cognitive reactions being the most common response (68%) whereas behavioral reactions were the least common (38%). There was no significant relationship between students' stress levels and their demographic characteristics. Overall, our study highlights the need for culturally sensitive and tailored support programs for international students, as most participants experienced moderate stress.
Asian International Students’ Barriers to Reporting Sexual Harassment Incidents
Authors: Dey Semonti
Published: July 2024

Asian international students continue to suffer from sexually harassing behaviors on college campuses. However, there has been little to no reporting of the incidents that cause their distress. Drawing on narratives of Asian international students in a predominantly white institution, the current study examines the barriers that these students face while reporting a case formally to the institutional representatives. The findings suggest that the severity of the case, lack of departmental support, fear of retaliation and peer relationship are among the major factors that hinder them from making a formal report. Implications of this study lie in informing the institutional policies and departmental practices to design more inclusive environment for the international students.

Is it possible to cure rheumatoid arthritis by studying factors that impede recovery?
Authors: Muravyov Yu.V.
Published: July 2024

Remission is the current goal of treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the ultimate goal should be complete cure of the disease and not just lifelong control of inflammation. Moreover, on the one hand, there is a certain saturation effect of anti-inflammatory drugs in RA, and on the other hand, there is increasing evidence that the pathological processes underlying the development of RA are independent of modern therapeutic agents. Therefore, in the future, the main goal of RA treatment should be considered to be the cure of the disease, i.e. recovery, not just suppression of symptoms

Authors: Sora J. Abd-Alsaheb  , Hasan Abd Ali Khudhair  , Khalid Majeed Dakhel
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a member of the causative factors of digestive system complaints, such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT), and gastric cancer (GC). This research aimed to determine the H. pylori bacteria's possible roles in autoimmune gastritis (AIG) and assess the sera concentrations of vitamin B12 (VB12) and iron in individuals with and without H. pylori disease. Methods: In the Province of Thi-Qar, Iraq, case-control research was conducted during the time of November-2021 to June-2022, which included 55 subjects having H. pylori-associated diseases and 35 healthy individuals. The eligibility criteria of both study groups were followed stringently. For the patient's group, subjects underwent an endoscopic examination and a stool antigen test (SAT). Additionally, the subjects of all research cohorts were assessed for their sera levels of anti-H. Pylori-antibodies (Abs), parietal cells auto-Abs (PCA), VB12, and iron. Results: The findings revealed a significantly higher level of PCA positivity and lower levels of VB12 and iron by comparing the patient group with the control group. In both study groups, serum level of anti-H. pylori immunoglobulin gamma (IgG) Abs positively associated with PCA and inversely correlated with serum VB12 and iron in the patient's group. Conclusions: There were correlations between H. pylori infection and PCA-positive status, lower VB12, and low iron levels. Anti-H. pylori-IgG serum concentration was a valuable biomarker for the risk of developing AIG, low VB12, and iron levels. Parietal cells auto-Abs were not associated with VB12 and iron levels.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the leisure activity of dining out with dogs, examining the experiences of 550 Canadian dog owners through a comprehensive online survey. The research explored multifaceted aspects of dog-friendly dining, including consumer attitudes, financial implications, dog-specific menus, and the dynamics of human-canine interactions in dining settings. The findings reveal engagement with various dining formats, such as traditional restaurants, coffee shops, and fast-food establishments, highlighting a wide array of opportunities for incorporating dog-friendly practices. The study uncovered a complex interplay of interest and practical challenges in the realm of dog-friendly dining. While dog owners show a strong preference for such experiences, the industry must navigate a diverse range of consumer preferences and operational hurdles. Attitudes toward dog-friendly dining reveal a mix of positive sentiments, emphasizing inclusivity and companionship, counterbalanced by concerns over behavioral issues, hygiene, and space management. The insights from this research are valuable for stakeholders in the leisure industry, providing a basis to develop strategies that cater to dog owners while addressing operational and customer experience challenges.

The political representation of women in the Indonesian parliament has increased since the implementation of the affirmation policy through quotas, although the number has not yet reached 30%. In addition, the percentage of women placed in the management structure of political parties has also increased. In addition, the percentage of women's candidacy in each election period also showed an increasing trend. This article aims to analyze the feminization process that occurred in PDI Perjuangan and PKS, using the model of feminization of political parties introduced by Sarah Childs. By using a qualitative approach, in which data were obtained from party statues (AD/ART documents of political parties) and parties' documents of meetings, General Elections Commission (KPU) data, and data sourced from online media, it was found that the level feminization of PDI Perjuangan higher than PKS. The difference in the level of feminization is due to differences in representational dimension and policy.

Published: July 2024

This study investigated the antioxidant capabilities of methanol extract from Justicia carnea leaves in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic Wistar rats, emphasizing its nephroprotective potential. Thirty-six (36) Wistar albino rats were randomized into six (6) groups (n=6/group). Group 1 served as the normal control, while groups 2-6 were induced with diabetes using 50 mg/kg of STZ intraperitoneally. Group 2 remained untreated, group 3 received 50 mg/kg body weight of Metformin, and groups 4, 5, and 6 were administered 100, 200, and 500 mg/kg body weight of the methanol Justicia carnea extract, respectively. Parameters assessed included fasting blood glucose (FBG), body weight changes, acute toxicity, and oxidative stress markers. Acute toxicity testing indicated no deaths at 5000 mg/kg of the extract. The extract significantly lowered FBG levels in STZ-induced diabetic rats (p < 0.05). The control group exhibited the highest weight gain compared to the treated groups (p < 0.05). Treatment with the extract notably increased catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels, while decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations (p < 0.05) compared to diabetic controls. Overall, the methanol extract of Justicia carnea ameliorated oxidative stress in the kidneys of diabetic Wistar rats, suggesting its potential to mitigate nephrotoxicity associated with type I diabetes-induced kidney damage. These findings underscore its therapeutic promise in combating oxidative stress-related complications of diabetes.

Емоція образи – психологічні виміри подолання її руйнівних впливів
Authors: Гарькавець Сергій , Волченко Лариса
Published: July 2024

У статті розглядаються особливості проявів емоції образи індивідів і наслідки її руйнівних впливів у їхньому житті. Визначено, що образавиступає емоційною реакцією індивіда, що породжена його розчаруванням, руйнуванням надій, невдачею, а також є емоційним віддзеркаленням таких базових негативних емоцій як сум, гнів, провина та сором. Проаналізовані причини та умови, що сприяють перетворенню накопичених образ у стійку характерологічну рису – образливість, що стає детермінуючим джерелом контрпродуктивної активності особистості. З’ясовано, що образливість значно перешкоджає формуванню соціальної зрілості особистості та негативно впливає на встановлення конструктивних відносин з оточуючими. Зазначено, що надмірне продукування негативних емоцій позбавляє індивідів ефективного спілкування з іншими та сприяє формуванню негативних сценаріїв особистісного життя. Індивіди стають неспроможними передбачати наслідки власних вчинків і тільки збільшують негативну ентропію взаємодії з іншими, що призводить до ще більшої руйнації соціального простору їхнього існування. Запропоновані шляхи подолання проявів образ і запобігання формуванню образливості особистості, що пов’язано з когнітивним зростанням та набуттям соціальної зрілості особистості. Визначені шляхи до пошуку примирення та дарування прощення тим, на кого індивід ображається, що є найбільш ефективною дією щодо подолання руйнівних впливів особистісної образливості.
