Published: November 2024

The Central Market of the Supiori Regency is one of the economic centres in the Supiori Regency.However, in its development, it did not turn out as expected. The market was abandoned by the traders whopreferred to sell along the streets of Sorendiweri City, the capital of Supiori Regency. This has caused the mainroad in Sorendiweri City, which is used as a trading area, to be filled with scattered trash. Vehicle drivers passingthrough the location become uncomfortable and disturbed because the vendors occupy half the road to sell theirgoods. This research has two objectives, namely, first, to identify and analyze the factors causing traders to preferselling on the main road within the city of Sorendiweri rather than at the Central Market, and second, to identifyand analyze the local government's policy strategies in building new infrastructure to improve accessibility to theCentral Market. This research uses qualitative descriptive analysis to analyze the data.
Validation of the spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of nimesulide in solid dispersions systems obtained by centrifugal fiber formation
Authors: Костюк В. Г. , Бессарабов В. І.
Published: November 2024

In order to increase the water solubility of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory active pharmaceutical ingredient, nimesulide, solid dispersed systems were developed using the innovative technology of centrifugal fiber formation. Accordingly, in order to obtain correct results regarding the degree of increase in the solubility of nimesulide in solid dispersed systems, it is necessary to select a method for determining the quantitative content of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the developed polymer composites.
The aim of the study was to develop and validate a spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of nimesulide in solid dispersed systems obtained by centrifugal fiber formation.
A small commercially available cotton candy machine «Cotton candy maker» (China) was used to produce solid dispersed systems of nimesulide by the method of centrifugal fiber formation. Spectrophotometric studies were performed using an OPTIZEN POP UV spectrophotometer (Meсasys, South Korea) in quartz glass cuvettes with an optical layer thickness of 1 cm (Agilent, USA).
The developed spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of nimesulide content in centrifugally formed polymeric solid dispersed systems is based on the qualitative reaction of nimesulide with a 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution, resulting in the formation of a yellow compound with a maximum optical absorption at 400 nm. The validation characteristics of the proposed method, in particular, specificity, linearity, precision, and robustness, were investigated. It was confirmed that the wavelength of 400 nm is specific for the analysis. It was proved that the method is linear (R2 = 0.999) in the range of nimesulide concentrations 80–120%. The accuracy of the method was confirmed at the level of convergence and reproducibility. When changing the wavelength by ± 2 nm, the standard deviation is 0.12%, which indicates the robustness of the developed method.
Thus, it is proved that all the selected validation characteristics of the developed spectrophotometric method for determining the quantitative content of nimesulide in centrifugally formed polymeric solid dispersed systems meet the acceptance criteria, which confirms the validity of the method.

Formation of personal and meta-subject results in the context of the development of reading and digital literacy in 7th grade at informatics lessons using case technology
Authors: Smolnyakov V. G.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the mechanism of formation of planned personal and meta-subject results in the context of the development of reading and digital literacy in the framework of studying the theme "Text documents" of the informatics course of the 7th grade. The connection between the academic subject "Informatics" and key meta-subject results at the level of basic general education is emphasized. The complexity of the formation of individual personal results is noted due to the small connection with the subject content. The problem of creating motivation, which is solved using case technology, is also noted. A group of training tasks is proposed that form these results. The expediency of introducing such tasks used to consolidate the subject results of the informatics course of the 7th grade is determined. A sample solution (in several forms) is proposed for each of the above tasks, as well as a list of personal and meta-subject results to be formed. Conclusions are drawn about the usefulness of using this approach and the possibility of scaling tasks in order to improve the level of digital literacy of schoolchildren and their educational results
Türk Emek Göçmenlerinin Ulusötesi Yaşlanma Deneyimleri
Authors: Taşcı Cansu
Published: November 2024

İkinci Dünya Savaşını izleyen yıllar, Batı Avrupa ülkelerinin başta Akdeniz ülkeleri olmak üzere azgelişmiş ülkelerden emek ithal ettiği yıllardır. Yapılan ikili işgücü anlaşmaları sonucu yüzbinlerce Türk işçi Avrupa’ya göç etmiştir. Günümüzde ise bu göçmen nüfus yaşlanmış ve birincil nesil Türk emek göçmenleri, “yaşlı Türk emek göçmenlerine” dönüşmüştür. Bu makalenin konusunu Batı Avrupa ülkelerindeki Türk emek göçmenlerinin ulusötesi yaşlanma deneyimleri oluşturmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Batı Avrupa ülkelerindeki Türk emek göçmenlerini konu edinen 31 makale Maxqda programı kullanılarak içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen içerik analizi yaşlı göçmenlerin menşe ülkeye ziyaretleri ve menşe ülkeyle ev sahibi ülke arasında geliştirdikleri siyasi, dini, ailevi, ekonomik bağlar aracılığıyla tek bir yerin sınırlarında yaşlanmaktan ziyade sınırların ötesinde “ulusötesi yaşlanma” deneyimine odaklanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda ibadethanelere katılımın, etnik işletmelerin ve tüketim alışkanlıklarının, derneklere katılımın, ulusötesi evliliklerin, telefon ile Türkiye’yle görüşmenin, tatillerde Türkiye’ye gelmenin ve Türkiye’ye geliş gidişlerin yaşlı göçmenlerin ulusötesi alanda yaşlanmalarını sağlayan temel pratikler olduğu görülmüştür.

Published: November 2024

Research suggests that Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is related to the severity of suffering in Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). However, its role in Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) has not been extensively studied. This study examines IU in a clinical sample of 248 individuals referred to a tertiary care clinic. Few individuals had a diagnosis of pure SAD or pure GAD, but we examined differences of IU scores by diagnostic category. We further examined the relationships between IU scores, social anxiety scores, and worry through a structural equation model. We found that diagnostic category (SAD versus GAD) accounted for little variability in IU scores, but IU scores were strongly related to symptoms of both GAD and SAD. Results highlight that IU is related to both social anxiety and worry; however aspects of IU associated with being unable to act or avoiding uncertainty are more strongly associated with SAD symptoms, whereas aspects of IU more associated with general stress and perceiving uncertainty as unfair are more strongly associated with GAD symptoms. Our results suggest that IU is an important concept for both social anxiety and generalized anxiety, however the relationship between IU and symptoms of these disorders manifests differently.
Determining Negligible Associations in Regression
Authors: Alter Udi , Counsell Alyssa
Published: November 2024

Psychological research is rife with inappropriately concluding “no effect” between predictors and outcome in regression models following statistically nonsignificant results. However, this approach is methodologically flawed because failing to reject the null hypothesis using traditional, difference-based tests does not mean the null is true. Using this approach leads to high rates of incorrect conclusions that flood psychological literature. This paper introduces a novel, methodologically sound alternative. In this paper, we demonstrate how an equivalence testing approach can be applied to multiple regression (which we refer to here as “negligible effect testing”) to evaluate whether a predictor (measured in standardized or unstandardized units) has a negligible association with the outcome. In the first part of the paper, we evaluate the performance of two equivalence-based techniques and compared them to the traditional, difference-based test via a Monte Carlo simulation study. In the second part of the paper, we use examples from the literature to illustrate how researchers can implement the recommended negligible effect testing methods in their own work using open-access and user-friendly tools (negligible R package and Shiny app). Finally, we discuss how to report and interpret results from negligible effect testing and provide practical recommendations for best research practices based on the simulation results. All materials, including R code, results, and additional resources, are publicly available on the Open Science Framework (OSF): https://osf. io/w96xe/.
Using errors-in-variables method in two-group pretest-posttest designs
Authors: Counsell Alyssa , Cribbie Robert A.
Published: November 2024

Culpepper and Aguinis (2011) highlighted the benefit of using the errors-in-variables (EIV) method to control for measurement error and obtain unbiased regression estimates. The current study investigated the EIV method and compared it to change scores and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in a two-group pretest-posttest design. Results indicated that the EIV method’s estimates were unbiased under many conditions, but the EIV method consistently demonstrated lower power than the change score method. An additional risk with using the EIV method is that one must enter the covariate reliability into the EIV model, and results highlighted that estimates are biased if a researcher chooses a value that differs from the true covariate reliability. Obtaining unbiased results also depended on sample size. Our conclusion is that there is no additional benefit to using the EIV method over change score or ANCOVA methods for comparing the amount of change in pretest-posttest designs.
Demographic and COVID Experience Predictors of COVID-19 Risk Perception among Chinese Residents in Canada
Authors: Lecompte Mariah , Counsell Alyssa , Yang Lixia
Published: November 2024

The current study aimed to identify demographic and COVID experience predictors for COVID-19 risk perception among Chinese residents in Canada. A final sample of 653 participants aged 18 and up completed an online survey in simplified Chinese during the peak of the first wave of COVID-19 (25 April–10 June 2020). After removing those with missing data on demographic covariates, as missing data cannot be imputed, 444 were included in the structural equation model, and COVID-19 risk perception was indexed by three outcome variables: self-infection risk perception (i.e., likelihood of personal infection of COVID-19); threat perception (i.e., whether the pandemic is a real threat); and future infection rate prediction (i.e., a latent variable for community, Ontario, Canada, and World infection rate predictions). Predictors included demographic (i.e., income, gender, education, age, household size, employment status, and life satisfaction) and COVID experience variables (i.e., personal connection with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases, self-isolation experience, perceived anti-Chinese discrimination, and confusion over COVID-19 information). In the structural equation model, we found increased risk perception for the following demographic and COVID experience predictors; women, relatively higher education, living alone, working in a medical field, lower in life satisfaction, having personal connection with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases, with perceived anti-Chinese discrimination, or showing high confusion over COVID-19 information.
Validation of the intention attribution test for children (IAC)
Authors: Vanwalleghem Stéphanie , Miljkovitch Raphaële , Counsell Alyssa , Atkinson Leslie , Vinter Annie
Published: November 2024

The Intention Attribution Test for Children (IAC) was created to assess hostile attribution bias in preschool- and early school-aged children. It comprises 16 cartoon strips presenting situations in which one character (either a child or an adult) causes harm to another, either intentionally, accidentally (nonintentional), or without his or her intention being clear (ambiguous). Its validity was tested on 233 children aged 4 to 12 years. Exploratory factor analysis and item response theory models demonstrated support for a single factor of hostile attribution bias for the ambiguous and nonintentional items. Analyses revealed, however, that the intentional items did not contribute to this same overall construct of hostile intention attribution bias. Correlations with the Social Perception Test and with sociometry suggest good validity of the IAC. The IAC may be a useful instrument for research and in the context of therapeutic intervention addressing socially inappropriate behavior in childhood.

In this paper, the author deals not only and primarily with legal issues, but also with political problems, processes, and perspectives that characterise Bosnia and Herzegovina. One can notice a number of conﬂicting opinions regarding the understanding and interpretation of the legal nature, international law status, division of jurisdiction, state organisation, and the position of the federal units (hereinafter: Entities) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Additionally, there are also opposing concepts regarding the methods of institutional responsibilities (jurisdictions), the scope of reforms, and the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina in general. It must not be forgotten that the creation of this internationally-recognised state took place in turbulent social, political, and legal circumstances with the conclusion of the Dayton Peace Agreement. This analysis primarily includes the framework established by this agreement, with special emphasis on its Annex 4 (the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina). In this sense, the author examines how the process of peace implementation later turned into a crisis generator that is extant. Also, this issue is analysed with certain indications from the author that could be useful to overcome these impediments, but also to create a positive joint perspective.

Trends in the EU and NATO are certainly a part of global international efforts and communications along with being integral parts of the actions of those progressive forces that strive towards global peace, security, and social progress. Therefore, European trends cannot be taken out of the global context of international relationships or any other efforts to make positive changes in the world. The countries of the Western Balkans are faced with important political, economic, and security challenges, and should support one another in the process of their accessions to the EU and NATO and create the necessary conditions for the development of a better European defense and security relevant as regards the security interests of NATO. As part of democracy and humanity, their friends should help in the building of a safer geopolitical environment. In the search of a better solution, it is recommended to focus on the values and goals of all citizens and peoples of the Western Balkans. This primarily includes digniﬁed living in a modern, prosperous, and democratic country. A country of this kind in the Western Balkans can exist only by being fully integrated in the European and global organisations and by respecting contemporary global standards. The future of the countries of the Western Balkans cannot rely on negative, narrow-minded concepts or approaches. Their future should be founded on universal human values. And not only the future of the Western Balkans, but the entire region where it is situated. All of us should understand that happiness and prosperity of one people in this region should not be built upon the misfortune of others.

The Western Balkans, which include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia, are important geopolitical entities that serve as a conduit and battleground for inﬂuence between the European Union (EU) and external powers such as Russia, China, and Turkey. This article explores the complexities of EU integration in the Western Balkans, emphasising signiﬁcant external inﬂuences from those global actors. The primary research problem focuses on how these inﬂuences manifest politically, economically, and culturally along with their implications for the region’s EU accession efforts. The analysis demonstrates that the EU’s approach to enlargement is increasingly inﬂuenced by geopolitical imperatives rather than purely political and economic reforms. Given the involvement of many external actors, the EU must devise a sophisticated policy that strikes a balance between advancing democratic ideals and addressing strategic security concerns. The article emphasises the EU’s urgent need to accelerate integration as a “geostrategic investment” (European Commission, 2018), with the goal of stabilising its periphery and countering these external forces. Finally, the article claims that successful EU integration for the Western Balkans depends on efﬁciently controlling external impacts and strengthening institutional resilience. The ﬁndings call for a diverse EU policy that blends geopolitical pragmatism with democratic governance to ensure the region’s inclusion into the European framework. This strategic balance is critical for maintaining stability and promoting long-term development in the Western Balkans in the face of competing global interests.
