THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SONICATION METHODS ON ALPHA-SYNUCLEIN PRE-FORMED FIBRILS
Authors: Akyel Hilal , Bahador Zırh Elham , Zırh Selim , Tel Banu Cahide
Published: July 2024

Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation is associated with neuronal death and the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). The α-syn preformed fibril model (α-syn-PFFs), reflects α-syn aggregation and is currently used in PD studies. To pass through the cell membrane, long fibrils should be fragmented by sonication. In our study, the effects of temperature, pulse modifications and/or device type on the sonication of α-syn-PFFs were investigated. Sonication was performed ultrasonic bath and in laminar-flow cabinet with probe sonicator. Dilutions were made from 5 µg/µl α-syn-PFFs stock in sterile-filtered dH2O to a final concentration and volume of 0.1 µg/µl and 200µl, respectively. Sonication was performed in an ultrasonic bath containing water at 10°C for 1 hour. All probe sonications were performed at 30% amplitude for 1 minute and 20 repetitions. The effect of temperature on sonication has been evaluated by performing sonication at room temperature (RT), in ice and in ice surrounded by dry ice. Also, the effects of pulse duration on sonication were evaluated using pulse durations of 1second(sec) on/1sec off, 3sec on/3sec off and 5sec on/5sec off. Furthermore, by waiting one minute between each sonication cycle, the heat released by the probe was prevented from affecting the fibrillar structure. The particle size was measured in triplicate by dynamic light scattering method. For transmission electron microscopy, formvar/carbon-coated grids were run through ddH2O-sonicated fibril-uranyl acetate solutions and kept dry until examined. Due to the variation in breakage of long α-syn fibrils, the effect of different parameters on sonication was investigated. In comparison of pulse durations, 5sec on/5sec off application produced shorter fibrils. Comparing the temperature interventions, lowering the temperature decreased the fibril size at 1sec on/1sec off settings but increased it at 3sec on/3sec off and 5sec on/5sec off. However, the shortest fibrils were obtained by sonication for 5sec on/5sec off at RT

Published: July 2024

Bu araştırmanın amacı lise öğrencilerinde sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile pozitiflik arasında saldırganlığın çoklu aracılığını incelemektir. Araştırmanın bir diğer amacı ise lise öğrencilerinin sosyal medya bağımlılığı, saldırganlık ve pozitiflik düzeylerinin cinsiyet değişkenine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını belirlemektir. Araştırmada genel tarama modelinin alt türü olan ilişkisel tarama deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırma örneklemini 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında Gaziantep ili Şehitkamil ilçesi liselerinde okuyan 220 kız öğrenci, 180 erkek öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 400 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada verileri toplamak için Bergen Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği, Saldırganlık Ölçeği Kısa Formu, Pozitiflik Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın veri analizlerinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler Pearson korelasyon analizi, aracılık analizi ve Bootstrap analizi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre pozitiflik ile sosyal medya bağımlığı ve saldırganlık arasında anlamlı düzeyde ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Aracılık bulgularına göre saldırganlığın alt boyutlarından olan düşmanlığın, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile pozitiflik arasında aracılık ettiği saldırganlığın diğer alt boyutlarının ise aracılık etmediği görülmüştür. Cinsiyet değişkenine göre yapılan t testi sonuçlarına göre kız ve erkek öğrencilerin sosyal medya bağımlılığı, fiziksel saldırganlık, öfke ve pozitiflik puan ortalamalarının anlamlı düzeyde farklılık gösterdiği görülmektedir. Bu farklar incelendiğinde kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve öfke puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu; erkek öğrencilerin de kız öğrencilere göre fiziksel saldırganlık ve pozitiflik puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Öte yandan sözel saldırganlık, düşmanlık ve saldırganlık toplam puan ortalamalarının cinsiyete göre anlamlı düzeyde farklılık göstermediği görülmektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçları alan yazın çerçevesinde tartışılmış ve araştırmacılara öneriler sunulmuştur.

Authors: Söğüt Sibel , Civan İlknur , Atasever Belli Serap
Published: July 2024

This study explored tertiary-level L2 learners’ familiarization with genre-specific conventions in English writing skills. Employing a qualitative research paradigm, data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with 26 L2 learners. An inductive content analysis was conducted to elicit recurring codes and themes. The learners expressed strengths encompassing the recognition of genre-specific features, awareness of linguistic and organizational conventions in genre writing, and formality level. They highlighted the challenges in their orientation to genre identification, text organization, and genre-specific language choices. The learners established connections between these challenges and limited prior writing experience in L1 and L2 and their subsequent reliance on L2 formal knowledge. Further sources of challenges were linked to affective factors, language proficiency, genre convention mastery, and topic familiarity. They reported feeling anxious due to unfamiliarity with genre features, lack of interest in a given topic, inadequate pre-writing, and planning stage, the demanding nature of the process-genre writing instruction, and instructors’ expectations. They proposed suggestions regarding the mastery of lexical and grammatical knowledge, the provision of effective feedback from instructors to improve textual organization, and genre-specific language conventions. Accordingly, instructional implications for the cultivation of genre knowledge and awareness of tertiary-level writing skills are presented.

Published: July 2024

Eğitim programı bağlamında paradigma, teori ve model arasındaki ilişkileri sağlam bir zemine oturtarak eğitim programı teorilerini anlamlandırmak önemlidir ancak alan yazınımızda eğitim programı teorilerine ilişkin yeterli düzeyde kaynak yer almamakta ve teoriler bu bağlamda tartışılmamaktadır. Aksine eğitim programı alanının gelişimine önemli katkı sunan teorisyenlerin eğitim programı teorileri modele indirgenmekte ve bu modellerin dayandığı temellere yani teorilere değinilmemektedir. Bu çalışma da bu ihtiyaçtan yola çıkarak eğitim programı alanı için önemli bir teorisyen olan Hilda Taba’nın eğitim programı teorisini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada önce paradigma, teori ve model ilişkisi açıklanmış, ardından eğitim programı teorilerinin sınıflamalarına yer verilmiştir. Taba’nın biyografisi ve eğitim programı teorisi ile devam edilip yine Taba’nın eğitime ve eğitim programına bakış açısı, program geliştirme süreci ve modeli ve Taba’nın eğitim programı teorisinin günümüze yansımalarına değinilmiştir. Son olarak ulusal alan yazının eğitim programı teorisine daha çok eğilmesi gerektiği, bunun için de öncelikli olarak alanın temel kuramlarının uygulayıcılar ve araştırmacılar tarafından incelenmesinin önemli olduğu ve uluslararası düzeyde güncel eğitim programı teorileştirme alan yazınına katkı sunulması için gerekli olduğu vurgulanmış, özellikle Taba’nın kendi zamanında vurgulamış olduğu etken öğretmen rolünün de günümüzde eğitim programları açısından yeniden gözden geçirilmesi gerektiği ifade edilmiştir.

Published: July 2024

1900’lerin başında İnsan hakları kavramı çatısı altında konumlandırılan çocuk hakları 1924’ten başlayarak çocuğa özel ilgi gösterilmesi gerekliliği fikrini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Özellikle 1989 tarihinde Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuk Hakları Sözleşmesi’nin yayınlanmasından sonraki yılları takiben de kademeli olarak bu konudaki bilimsel yayınlarda bir artış olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu araştırma ile Web of Science veri tabanında, çocuk hakları üzerine yayımlanmış makalelerin bibliyometrik analizini gerçekleştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada, betimsel yöntemlerden tarama modeli kullanılmış ve bibliyometrik analiz tekniği uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada çocuk hakları konusunda 1981 – 2022 yılları arasında yayımlanan 1039 makale analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda çocuk hakları ile ilgili yayımlanan makalelerin 2005 yılı sonrasında artış gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Makalelerde en çok yayın yapılan dilin İngilizce olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çocuk hakları konusunda Londra Üniversitesi, Tata Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü ve Edinburg Üniversitesi en çok yayın yapan araştırmacıların bulunduğu kurumlar olarak öne çıkmaktadır. “International Journal of Children’s Rights”, Child Abuse Neglect” ve “Rights Based Direct Practice With Children” en fazla akademik yayının olduğu dergilerdir. İngiltere, ABD ve Avusturalya’nın çocuk haklarına yönelik en çok akademik yayın üreten ülkeler olduğu görülmüştür. 2007 yılı sonrasında yayımlanan akademik yayınların atıf sayılarında, her geçen yıl artan bir durum söz konusudur. Yapılan akademik yayınlarda en çok kullanılan anahtar kelimeler ise “çocukların hakları”, “çocuk hakları” ve “çocuklar” kavramlarıdır.

The emergence and ways of solving the problem of black ghettos in the US cities
Authors: Vorobyev Dmitry N.
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the study of a complex of housing and socio-economic problems that American low-income urban neighborhoods with a predominantly black population, traditionally called ghettos, have faced for more than a hundred years. The paper examines the reasons for the emergence of black neighborhoods in large American cities outside the South at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as factors that negatively affected the quality of housing conditions in them. The author pays special attention to the attempts of the American authorities to counteract the continued degradation of black ghettos after the Second World War, which in fact had contradictory results. The work examines in detail the process of further decline of black neighborhoods during the 1960-1990s, which affected all spheres of life of their inhabitants. Finally, the article analyzes a number of effective measures that city authorities have taken in recent decades to develop poor neighborhoods, including those with a large percentage of black residents.
Specifics of the digital regulation of the Canadian cultural industries
Authors: Shchukina Tatiana
Published: July 2024

The Online Streaming Act and the Online News Act are two pieces of the government's digital agenda. They are separate pieces of legislation with different implementation processes. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is responsible for the regulation of the laws. 
The Online Streaming Act received Royal Assent on April 27, 2023 and is the first major reform of the Broadcasting Act since 1991. It updates broadcasting policy for Canada and require online streaming services to contribute to the creation and availability of Canadian audio-visual contentin an equitable way. Online Streaming Act makes Canadian stories and music widely available to Canadians in the digital age. The law will give Canadians more opportunities to see themselves in what they watch and hear, under a new framework that better reflects Canada today.
The Online News Act received Royal Assent on June 22, 2023. It aims to ensure that dominant platforms compensate Canadian news businesses when their content is available on their services. The Act creates a bargaining framework to ensure that platforms compensate news businesses fairly. It encourages platforms to reach voluntary commercial agreements with a range of news businesses. If parties are not able to come to fair agreements independently, they would have to proceed to a mediated mandatory bargaining process. If, after mediation, the parties are still unable to reach an agreement, each party would submit a final offer, and an arbitral panel would choose one of the offers.

Authors: Andrade Erick , Caetano Farias Hélio
Published: July 2024

The paper aims to address the question: What was the role of Defense Cooperation in shaping the relationship between Brazil and Argentina? The analysis started with the hypothesis that Defense Cooperation served as an integral element in the relations between these two countries: Brazil and Argentina, consequently impacting Mercosur as a whole. Methodologically, the research adopted a historical analysis and qualitative approach, employing document analysis techniques. Despite historical conflicts, the 1970s witnessed a significant shift in the relationship between Buenos Aires and Brasilia, with notable collaborative efforts emerging. however, the rapprochement of these states in marked a relevant change in the Southern Cone and it has been possible to evidence up to 1978 in the combined operation “Operação Fraterno”, within navies, to 2004 in the technological cooperation “Projeto Gaúcho”, within armies and to 2010 in the “Projeto kc-390” within air forces. Defense Cooperation played a pivotal role in this process, serving not only military purposes but also as a diplomatic tool, reinforcing friendship bonds. In conclusion, Defense emerges as crucial el- ement for success cooperation and integration, fostering mutual trust camaraderie. Thus, this study confirms the hypothesis that Defense Cooperation is an integral element in the relationship between Brazil and Argentina, with the potential to facilitate regional integration.

Understanding how different regions of the brain communicate with each other provides valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of these conditions. Brain connectivity includes structural connectivity and functional connectivity and can be utilized in various scenarios for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of mental disorders. This editorial briefly presents structural and functional brain connectivity and some of their applications.
High-Efficiency Graph Measures in Discriminating Schizophrenia Patients from Healthy Controls Using Structural and Functional Connectivity
Authors: Alamdari Mahya Naghipoor , Zamani Jafar , Keyvanfard Farzaneh , Nassiraei Moghadam Abbas
Published: July 2024

The human brain is a complex network characterized by structural and functional connections within and between regions. It is proven that in some brain diseases (such as schizophrenia), these connections are disrupted. Graph theory is a suitable tool to analyze brain network disruptions. The data analyzed in this study include the functional and structural connections of 27 schizophrenic patients and 27 healthy controls. By means of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and joint ICA (jICA) algorithms, the brain network is divided into 10 sub-networks, in which structural connections play an important role. We look for graph parameters that distinguish patients from healthy people. We observed that the local parameters of joint subnetwork #3 such as clustering efficiency, strength, and local efficiency can be used to distinguish patients from controls. The global parameters in joint subnetwork #1, such as characteristic path length, radius, diameter, and max modularity have the same effect. To investigate nervous system disorders such as schizophrenia it is better to analyze the joint sub-networks of the brain than the whole brain.

Published: July 2024

Psychoradiology is one of the new areas in neuroscience that aims to help diagnose and treatment of patients with neurological diseases using neuroimaging techniques. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a promising treatment modality for psychiatric and neurological disorders. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) as one of the main neuroimaging techniques, is a suitable method to reflect the functional integrity of the brain. Changes in Functional brain Connectivity (FC) are expected to provide potential biomarkers for the classification or prediction of brain disorders. In this paper, with the aim of helping people with mental disorders, we propose a neuroimaging-based method, using resting state MRI imaging and graph-based functional connectivity analysis. This method can be used in the field of medical diagnosis and specialized brain stimulation treatment with TMS to provide accurate and reliable medical services for radiologists and neurologists.

Published: July 2024

This research aimed to evaluate the effect of audio in the performance of an audiovisual advertisement stimulus, using eye tracking technology and self-report measures.
31 participants (average age=24.2, SD=5.3) who were recruited for the experiment, watched the video ad without audio, and 30 other participants (average age=25.2, SD=8.8) watched the ad with the original audio. The eye movements of participants were recorded while they were watching the advertisement using a 30Hz Tobii eye tracker and Tobii Pro Studio software and were analyzed offline. Participants’ self-report measures of effectiveness, affectiveness, perceptibility, and attractiveness were collected using 5-point Likert scales. Performing appropriate statistical tests, this study revealed a significant difference of attention in two investigated conditions. Significant results yielded for fixation count and visit duration of messages, visit duration of products, and total fixation duration of whole video ad. Yet no significant differences were found for self-report measures.
Neuromarketing methods like eye-tracking may provide useful information on the performance of video advertisement, which can be used for advertising effectiveness evaluation along with self-report techniques for more in-depth analysis.

Authors: Panahandeh Narges , Sedighi Shervin , Mohammadkhani Shervin , Nejadkarimi Sogol , Ghasemi Amir
Published: July 2024

Objectives: This study assessed the efficacy of different combinations of oxalic acid, 35% hydrogen peroxide, and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for bleaching of tooth discolorations caused by hemoglobin.
Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, 40 sound extracted human premolars were disinfected and decoronated. Their primary color parameters were measured (T1). The teeth were then centrifuged with human blood for 3 days, rinsed, polished, and their color parameters were measured again (T2). They were randomly divided into 4 groups (N=10) and treated as follows: Group A: in-office bleaching with Pola-Office Plus followed by 30 seconds of light-curing, group B: 0.24 M oxalic acid for 5 minutes followed by in-office bleaching, group C: 5.25% NaOCl for 5 minutes followed by in-office bleaching, and group D: 0.24 M oxalic acid (5 minutes) followed by 5.25% NaOCl (5 minutes) and subsequent application of in-office bleaching gel. The color parameters of the teeth were measured again (T3). Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and paired sample t-test (alpha=0.05).
Results: T2-T3 ∆E in groups B and D was significantly higher than that in group A (P<0.05); the difference between groups B and D was not significant. The mean ∆E and ∆L in group C were not significantly different from those in group A (P>0.05). ∆L significantly and equally increased in groups B and D after bleaching.
Conclusion: Application of oxalic acid followed by in-office bleaching gel is more effective than the bleaching gel alone for correction of tooth discolorations caused by hemoglobin.

CUSTOMER LOYALTY IN INDONESIAN SHARIA BANKS: INTEGRATING FINANCIAL ASPECTS, FINTECH APPLICATIONS, AND THE CARTER MODEL
Authors: Muhammad Helmi , Sari Niki Puspita
Published: July 2024

As a competitive strategy, Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) is interested in emphasizing service quality, with a focus on customer loyalty and referral. The CARTER model is becoming increasingly popular among researchers as a tool for evaluating the quality of services provided by Islamic banks. This study seeks to investigate the effects of financial aspects, FinTech use, and CARTER model dimensions on BSI customer loyalty. The study included all customers of BSI Malang across three areas: Malang City, Batu City, and Malang Regency, with a sample size of 100 respondents. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that the financial aspects, FinTech use, and CARTER model dimensions have a significant effect on BSI customer loyalty. Compliance (adherence to Sharia principles) was the most important factor in the CARTER dimension, followed by assurance, reliability, empathy, and responsiveness. Although the financial aspects and tangibility are considered part of the service quality dimension, they do not significantly contribute to BSI customer loyalty. In addition to cultivating technical skills in its workforce, BSI relies on the practical implications of Sharia compliance to enhance its competitive strategy.

Authors: Wąs Gabriela
Published: July 2024

The aim of the article was an attempt to answer the question whether the uprising of the Silesian dukes and estates against the Habsburg kings in 1618–1621 had a rebellious character or whether it was an action taken under the right to active resistance guaranteed to them by the Bohemian kings. The subject of consideration were also the motives of armed actions of the Silesian dukes and estates during the Thirty Years’ War, both that at the beginning of the war and the second one from 1633–1635. Options were considered between the perception of conflict as a religious war (denominational motives) and the perception of it as a war conducted in the name of political reasons.

They were discussed both the 1806/1807 campaign, known as the War of the Fortress, in which the Prussians defended Silesia against Napoleonic troops, as well as the Polish uprising in New Silesia, which decided the further fate of this land incorporated into Prussia in 1795. The course of the 1813 campaign in Silesia were also presented. The analyse of the source material and academic literature showed that the description of these campaigns mythologised by Prussian historiography, so effectively blurred the actual course of events that the stories about Silesian patriotism became one of the foundations of the legend of German Silesia.
The economic history of Silesia in the Polish-German academic dialogue after 1945 (overview)
Authors: Belzyt Leszek C.
Published: July 2024

The impressive development of industry in Silesia was reflected in many works of Polish and German historians after 1945. Differences in assessments are generally small, and those that do exist are mainly due to different national positions. These differences relate in particular to the crisis situation after 1918 and the division of Upper Silesia. After 1989, evaluations of this kind occur incidentally, and rather just in publications of a popular-science character.

Authoritarian leadership is prevalent in the Asian region, and previous research has found a positive correlation between authoritarian leadership and employees' intention to leave their jobs. However, there are employees in the workplace who can adapt to such supervisors. Therefore, we approach this study from the perspective of "fit theory" to explore whether employees with authoritarian parenting styles can match with authoritarian leadership. This study aims to investigate the impact of authoritarian leadership on employees' intention to leave, with supervisor satisfaction as the mediator and employees' authoritarian parenting style as the moderator. A total of 232 valid questionnaires were collected in this study. The results revealed that the level of authoritarian family upbringing among employees has a moderating effect on the relationship between authoritarian leadership and supervisor satisfaction.

Destanlar, tarihin bilinmeyen çağlarından günümüze kadar birçok toplumun yaşayış tarzlarını, inançlarını, gelenek ve göreneklerini sözlü gelenek içinde aktaran köklü ve zengin edebi eserlerdir. Meydana geldikleri toplumun, kültürün bilinç ve bilinçdışında yaşattıkları değerleri günümüze yansıtabilen destanlar, sembolik kodlardan oluşan bir hazine değerindedir. Her toplum kendine özgü değerlerini, destanlar aracılığı ile yaşamın birçok alanına aksettirmiştir.
Kültürel sürekliliği canlı tutan her unsur, geçmişi ve geleceği birleştirerek toplumların her açıdan daha güçlü ve zengin olmasını sağlayan bir değer barındırmaktadır. Değerlerimizi, gelecek nesillere aktararak canlı ve kalıcı tutma konusunda tüm toplumların ve kültürlerinin çekirdek parçası olan aile kavramı, önemli bir vasıtadır. Toplumun ve yaşamın temelini oluşturan aile yapısının önemli bir ferdi olan kadın, edebi anlatılardaki konulardan biri olarak yer almaktadır.
Ele alınan çalışmada, Özbekistan sahası destanlarından Dalli Destanı’nda yer alan kadın kahraman Han Dalli ile Türk edebiyatının büyük şaheserlerinden biri olan Dede Korkut Hikâyelerinden Kam Püre’nin Oğlu Bamsı Beyrek Hikâyesi’nde yer alan Banu Çiçek’in alp kadın tipi bağlamında incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Han Dalli ve Banu Çiçek karakterleri, yer aldıkları anlatılarda daha çok alp kadın tipi yönleri ve ön plana çıkan ortak özellikleri ile ilgili olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Anlatılarda yer alan iki kadın kahraman, toplum ve aile hayatı içinde kadını yansıtan fedakârlık, sadakat, saygı ve sevgi yönlerinin yanı sıra kahramanlıkları ve savaşçılık özellikleri ön planda olan alp kadın tipinin en tipik örneklerindendir. Kadınların, karşılaştığı birçok zorlukta kimseye muhtaç olmadan tek başına üstesinden gelebildiğini gösteren Han Dalli ve Banu Çiçek karakterleri, kadınların gücü bağlamında büyük önem teşkil etmektedir.

The red reflex test, performed using a direct ophthalmoscope, serves as a critical diagnostic tool in identifying various ocular conditions. These conditions encompass retinal anomalies (such as retinoblastoma, Coats disease, retinopathy of prematurity, familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, myelinated nerve fibers, ocular toxocariasis, ocular toxoplasmosis, retinochoroidal coloboma, astrocytic, and combined hamartoma), vitreous abnormalities (including persistent fetal vasculature), lens issues (like cataract), anterior chamber and corneal conditions (comprising dysgenesis of the anterior segment, congenital glaucoma, birth trauma), and tear film disturbances. During this examination, the presence of leukocoria, characterized by a white pupillary reflex, can suggest the presence of underlying conditions. Any suspicion of an abnormal red reflex test warrants immediate evaluation by a qualified ophthalmologist. This article primarily underscores the paramount importance of the red reflex examination, not only to identify potential sight-threateningbut also life-threatening conditions. It delves into the most common causes of leukocoria in childhood and offers insights into a comprehensive diagnostic approach. The target audience for this article includes pediatricians, primary care clinicians, and ophthalmologists, all of whom play a pivotal role in the early detection and intervention of these critical eye disorders.
Educação física cultural e os múltiplos sentidos da diferença
Authors: Bonetto Pedro Xavier Russo , Neira Marcos Garcia
Published: July 2024

O artigo analisa e descreve as inter-relações entre a Educação Física cultural e o conceito de diferença. Buscando ampliar a adensar essa conceitualização usualmente abordada a partir da diferença cultural, o texto articula a diferença relacionando-a com: a) as estratégias de governamento e controle dos corpos; b) o conhecimento não representacional; e c) as teleologias educacionais almejadas pela proposta curricular. A pesquisa mobilizou a teorização pós-crítica da Educação Física, as filosofias da diferença e referenciou-se empiricamente na produção de conhecimentos a partir da prática docente. Os dados produzidos indicam que as diversas concepções (diferença cultural, diferença na linguagem, diferença no pensamento, diferença e desejo), mesmo que baseadas em elementos epistemológicos distintos, não são excludentes e, além disso, podem, em uma perspectiva educacional, inspirar práticas pedagógicas potentes, criadoras e comprometidas com as diferentes formas de viver, pensar e agir.
РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ СТАЛОГО РОЗВИТКУ БІЗНЕСУ: ДОСВІД УКРАЇНИ ТА ІСПАНІЇ
Authors: Гречко А. В. , Очеретяна О. В.
Published: July 2024

Стаття присвячена порівняльному аналізу систем регулювання сталого розвитку бізнесу в Україні та Іспанії з метою виявлення ефективних стратегій та політик, спрямованих на підтримку сталого розвитку підприємств. Автори звертають увагу на термінологічні та концептуальні аспекти поняття «сталий розвиток» в обох країнах, а також аналізують схожі та відмінні риси їхніх підходів до цієї проблеми. Автори звертають увагу на історичний контекст та ключові законодавчі акти обох країн у сфері сталого розвитку, розглядаючи їх вплив на сучасний стан підприємницького середовища. Вони докладно аналізують розвиток законодавства, яке регулює питання сталого розвитку підприємств в Україні та Іспанії, звертаючи увагу на основні тенденції та етапи його формування. Досліджуються тенденції та ключові аспекти розвитку систем регулювання в обох країнах. Сталий розвиток в Україні характеризується зростанням усвідомлення корпоративної соціальної відповідальності, фокусом на зеленій економіці та інтеграцією міжнародних стандартів. Іспанія, у свою чергу, відзначається розвитком циркулярної економіки, інтеграцією критеріїв ESG у фінансове регулювання та активним професійним розвитком у галузі сталого бізнесу. У статті розглядаються складнощі, що виникають у процесі реалізації концепції сталого розвитку в бізнесах України та Іспанії. В Україні ці перешкоди проявляються у відсутності належної правової бази, обмежених фінансових ресурсах та високому рівні корупції, що ускладнює ефективну реалізацію стратегій сталого розвитку в підприємницькому середовищі. З іншого боку, Іспанія, не зважаючи на більш стабільну економічну та законодавчу базу, також стикається із викликами впровадження існуючих норм і адаптації до міжнародних стандартів. Тому існує настійна потреба підвищення ефективності механізмів, які регулюють сферу сталого розвитку, а також надання відповідної підтримки бізнесу в зусиллях досягнення сталості. Автори визначають важливість обміну досвідом між Україною та Іспанією, як спосіб для вдосконалення систем регулювання, які сприяють сталому розвитку, та для сприяння підприємствам обох країн у досягненні цієї мети.

У статті проведено аналіз сучасного стану медіа ринку в Україні, виокремлено тенденції функціонування медіа підприємств. Розвиток інформаційних технологій спричинив появу “нових” медіа, які на сьогодні отримали значну перевагу як у донесенні інформації, так і у формуванні громадської думки. Актуальність дослідження обумовлена тим, що медійні підприємства в сучасних умовах формують інформаційний простір, що у подальшому забезпечить умови для стабільного розвитку економіки країни та українських підприємств. Метою дослідження є аналіз сучасного стану медіа бізнесу, виокремлення організаційно – управлінських та правових аспектів функціонування медіа підприємств та окреслення проблемних моментів у здійсненні ними діяльності в сучасних умовах стрімкого розвитку технологій. Проаналізовано організаційно-правові форми створення медіа підприємств. Виокремлено переваги в організації холдингової форми медіа бізнесу як структури що здатна краще опиратися впливу дестабілізаційних чинників мобільно реагувати на зміну тенденцій інформаційного ринку. Виокремлено учасників медіа ринку відповідно до нового медіа законодавства та вимоги до них. Наголошено на критеріях, які дозволяють віднести видання до онлайн-медіа. Використання організаційно – управлінських та правових аспектів функціонування медіа бізнесу, на яких наголошено у публікації, носить практичну значущість як для впровадження в навчальний процес, так і в процесі управління медійними підприємствами.
