Tool for Online Discussions (TOD): A New Experimental Research Platform to Examine Live User Interactions on Social Media
Authors: Hoes Emma , Klüser Klaus Jonathan
Published: November 2023

This letter introduces the Tool for Online Discussions (TOD), a mock socialmedia platform that advances the capabilities of experimental research tools byoffering real-time, dynamic participant interaction—a feature currently absent inmost other mock platforms. TOD’s distinctive attribute lies in its live interactiondesign and the integration of other live elements like pop-ups, which closely mimics the interactive nature of genuine social media, moving beyond the mostly static interfaces of current research tools. The platform is evaluated through a preregistered experiment with 589 participants, probing the effects of content moderation on user perceptions. TOD’s deployment reveals enhanced possibilities for investigating the mechanisms of social media dynamics, positioning it as an invaluable resource for researchers needing a more immersive, controlled and interactive environment to study online social behaviors.
Cluster analysis of prolonged grief, posttraumatic stress, and depression symptoms in bereaved asylum seekers and refugees
Authors: Comtesse Hannah , Edelhoff Hannah , Rosner Rita , Lechner-Meichsner Franziska
Published: November 2023

Background: Refugees and asylum seekers (ASRs) are frequently exposed to loss in addition to a variety of other stressors and often display high levels of various psychological symptoms. Objective: The study aimed to primarily determine clusters of prolonged grief disorder (PGD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression symptoms in bereaved ASRs and secondly identify predictors of cluster membership. Sociodemographic- and flight-related variables were investigated in exploratory analyses. Method: ASRs in Germany (N = 92) with interpersonal loss exposure, i.e. at least one missing or deceased relative or friend, were assessed with interview-based questionnaires for PGD, PTSD, and depressive symptoms. We used k-means cluster analysis to distinguish symptom profiles and logistic regression analyses to identify predictors of cluster membership. Results: We found a three-cluster-solution. The PGD-cluster (30%) was characterized predominantly by PGD symptoms, while the PGD/PTSD-cluster (32%) had high PGD and PTSD and moderate depressive symptoms. The resilient cluster (38%) showed low symptoms overall. Insecure residence status predicted membership in the PGD and PGD/PTSD clusters relative to the resilient cluster, whilst higher attachment anxiety predicted membership in the PGD/PTSD cluster relative to the other clusters. Explorative analysis revealed duration of stay as a significant predictor. Conclusion: Findings can extend the current knowledge about different symptom profiles among bereaved ASRs in Europe. Insights to attachment- and migration-related variables distinguishing between these profiles offer starting points for interventions.

Između biološkoga i društvenoga rođenja
Authors: Musa Ivica
Published: November 2023

Nepostojanje jasnoga etičkoga razumijevanja o početku ljudskoga života, kao i dominantno pravna regulacija obiteljskih relacija u antičkim kulturama izvor je ugroženosti djece prepuštene arbitrarnosti očeva ili skrbnika. Dijete je trebalo preživjeti tri prijeteće ugroze na putu do pravnoga prihvaćanja, odnosno dobivanja “ulaznice” u život: pobačaj, infanticid tek rođene djece i izlaganje neželjene djece. Analiza postupaka i pravnih normi oslikava dramatičnost života djece. Pravna nezaštićenost najranjivije društvene skupine izaziva dojam iznenađujućega manjka humanosti antičkih društava.
Islamsko pravo i pobačaj — mišljenja i stavovi islamskih pravnika i znanstvenika
Authors: Arslani Mevludi
Published: November 2023

Pobačaj kao fenomen izaziva mnoge prijepore, a osobito kada su u pitanju religijska učenja i perspektive. Stoga nije čudno da se vode mnogobrojne rasprave o tom u kojim je slučajevima pobačaj dopušten, a kada je zabranjen jer je riječ o potencijalnom pitanju života i smrti. Ovaj članak pokušava razjasniti pitanje pobačaja u islamskim izvorima navodeći razmišljanja tradicionalnih i modernih islamskih pravnika kao i novija otkrića medicinske znanosti, posebice perinatalne medicine.
Cornering the Market on Maternal Affect: A Discourse Analysis of a Social Media Marketing Campaign for Infant Formula
Authors: Bayard Chantal , Rippey Phyllis L.F.
Published: November 2023

Breastfeeding advocates and global health agencies have been sounding alarms about the dangers of digital marketing practices of the formula-feeding industry. This study comprised a feminist discourse analysis of materials produced (blog, social media posts, comments) in a paid partnership between baby formula brand Enfamil and an influencer, Marilou Bourdon from Trois fois par jour. Our analysis reveals a sophisticated marketing campaign that co-opts feminist critiques of breastfeeding promotion discourse while carefully avoiding explicitly violating the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. Underlying this campaign is a rhetoric reliant on pathos to assuage maternal guilt and shame for feeding formula.
Male Fertility-Related mHealth: Does It Create New Vulnerabilities?
Authors: De Proost Michiel
Published: November 2023

Male fertility–related mHealth (MFmHealth), including smartphone applications that allow men to test their fertility at home, is getting some attention now and then. In this commentary, I argue that MFmHealth technology has the potential to undermine established norms around male reproduction but cannot be examined using traditional individualist frameworks in bioethics. Instead, theoretical literature on the concept of vulnerability in feminist bioethics allow a theoretical alliance with critical studies of men and masculinities. Proposed benefits like empowerment, shared responsibility, and democratization may justify disruptive innovation but may also obscure more fundamental ethical concerns about vulnerability and social justice.
The New Hysteria: Borderline Personality Disorder and Epistemic Injustice
Authors: Dorfman Natalie , Reynolds Joel Michael
Published: November 2023

The diagnostic category of borderline personality disorder (BPD) has come under increasing criticism in recent years. In this paper, we analyze the role and impact of epistemic injustice, specifically testimonial injustice, in relation to the diagnosis of BPD. We first offer a critical sociological and historical account, detailing and expanding a range of arguments that BPD is problematic nosologically. We then turn to explore the epistemic injustices that can result from a BPD diagnosis, showing how they can lead to experiences of testimonial injustice which impede patient engagement in meaning-making activities, thereby undermining standard therapeutic goals. We conclude by showing how our arguments bolster ongoing efforts to replace the diagnostic category of BPD with alternatives such as complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
Autonomy Without Borders? Understanding the Impact of Undocumented Residence Status on Healthcare Relationships in Belgium
Authors: Lafaut Dirk , Coene Gily
Published: November 2023

Access to public healthcare services for Belgium’s undocumented migrants is regulated through a parallel, administrative procedure within the legal framework of Urgent Medical Aid. This imposes several constraints on their access to healthcare services. Drawing on empirical-ethical methodologies, we show how this procedure impacts on the relationship between patients with undocumented status and healthcare workers. We use the concept of relational autonomy to show how the imposed legal constraints reduce the formal treatment options available to healthcare workers, but simultaneously lead to informal care practices, and how the latter increase the discretionary power of the healthcare workers. We argue that in this context, provision becomes unpredictable and arbitrary, with undocumented migrants tending to value strong personal relations with one particular, trusted healthcare worker. Although this leads to increased dependence, it also increases patients’ options and autonomy by providing access to wider professional networks attached to that healthcare worker.
El acceso a espacios verdes públicos en el área metropolitana de Guadalajara. Impacto de la pandemia covid–19 en hábitos y percepciones de la población
Authors: Zúñiga Esparza Stephanie , de la Peña Domene Marinés
Published: November 2023

Los espacios verdes públicos proveen amplios beneficios ambientales, sociales y culturales a la población. Además, son fundamentales para fortalecer el equilibrio entre la naturaleza y lo construido en contextos urbanos. Sin embargo, su cantidad y distribución en el territorio determina el grado de acceso que puede alcanzar la población para su disfrute. El área metropolitana de Guadalajara posee un déficit de espacios verdes públicos y una distribución poco uniforme de los existentes, lo que implica un acceso desigual entre sus habitantes. Además, la pandemia por covid–19 trajo consigo diversas restricciones de movilidad que influyeron en los hábitos de uso y en la percepción que la población posee de esos espacios. Con la finalidad de caracterizar la percepción y el uso de la población respecto de los espacios verdes públicos, antes y durante la pandemia covid–19, se realizaron encuestas en el área metropolitana de Guadalajara y en una colonia identificada con particular alto déficit de estos. A partir de ello, fue posible determinar las distancias en promedio que recorre la población para acceder a estos espacios públicos, y de qué manera influyó la pandemia en la frecuencia de visita y en la percepción que poseen de estos. Incluir los hábitos, las preferencias y percepciones de la población con respecto a la cantidad y distribución de los espacios verdes públicos es esencial para conducir la toma de decisiones y la gestión del territorio urbano hacia una planeación sostenible.
Costa plástica. Crisis pandémica y cambio climático en el distrito costero–rural de la “franja transformada” en Sicilia: la carretera rural como clave de regeneración
Authors: Nifosì Chiara
Published: November 2023

El título de este trabajo, “Costa plástica”, tiene un doble significado: reflexiona sobre la condición actual de las regiones rurales donde existe una fuerte economía agrícola de cultivos en invernadero, a partir del caso de estudio presentado, el distrito rural de la “franja transformada” en el sureste de Sicilia; anticipa un objetivo estratégico: la remodelación de los territorios rurales, informales y costeros para responder a los efectos impuestos por la pandemia y el cambio climático. Un análisis de los datos nacionales más recientes y un conjunto de entrevistas realizadas en abril de 2022 a escala local ayudan a comprender los cambios repentinos en los territorios rurales debidos no solo a los efectos inmediatos de la pandemia y a los efectos, ahora evidentes, del cambio climático, sino también a un estado de crisis ambiental y social de larga data. Por último, la necesidad de traducir los objetivos de las políticas europeas y nacionales, formuladas para hacer frente a la pandemia, en proyectos de adaptación del espacio físico y en acciones cuantificables, lleva a reflexionar sobre la “plasticidad” de los territorios rurales–costeros investigados, sobre las posibles formas capaces de despejar las diversas criticidades y opacidades con las cuales siguen conviviendo.

En los últimos años, y a escala global, hemos vivido atentos a los efectos del covid–19, al número de contagios, las vacunas, los cubrebocas, las nuevas olas y cepas de un virus que nos ha llevado a modificar nuestra vida diaria. Todos los países del mundo tomaron acciones para prevenir y revertir los efectos de una nueva pandemia; uno de los más significativos fue, sin duda, el confinamiento y el distanciamiento social, lo cual trajo consigo grandes cambios en las dinámicas sociales, económicas, políticas y medioambientales, y han tenido un gran impacto en la configuración territorial.
Las cuatro grandes crisis y la importancia del espacio público
Authors: Arriaga Salamanca Daniel Ignacio
Published: November 2023

Cuatro grandes crisis afectan a las ciudades en la actualidad. La crisis ambiental, que está cambiando la fisonomía de los asentamientos urbanos; la crisis climática, que está movilizando a las personas hacia diferentes metrópolis; la crisis sanitaria, que nos está obligando a repensar, restructurar y rediseñar las ciudades, y la crisis económica, la cual, como resultado de las anteriores y de otros problemas acumulados en el pasado está creando dificultades financieras para la inversión urbana y un creciente desempleo que requerirá de ingenio y creatividad para responder a estos retos en el presente siglo. Bajo este panorama resurge el espacio público como un sistema que, enfocado desde tres dimensiones y nueve componentes, contribuirá a mitigar estas crisis y aportará a la construcción en el futuro de mejores ciudades, a diferencia de las que tenemos y vivimos actualmente.
Своеобразие казахской философии
Authors: Рыскалиев Т.Х. , Есенгалиева В.А. , Саркулова Г.С. , Саркулова М.С.
Published: November 2023

В статье раскрыты сущность и особенности казахской философии. Казахская философия имеет общие проблемы с греческой, индийской, китайской и русской философией и, с этой точки зрения, находится во взаимосвязи с мировой философией. В то же время казахская философия имеет свою специфику и отличительные черты. Она своеобразна затронутой проблематикой в ней, специфическими формами выражения мысли, с собственным стилем мышления и нет необходимости постоянно оглядываться на развитую западную философию. Учиться у других надо, но не следует подражать или заимствовать их стиль мышления. Предназначение философии — быть понятной для каждого человека, повлиять на него, учить и изменять его в лучшую сторону. Такой была восточная философия и такой является философия казахов. Особенности мировоззрения казахского народа связаны с кочевой цивилизацией и культурой, с развитием вербальных форм культуры, а следовательно, с отсутствием письменных источников. Авторы статьи акцентируют внимание на том, что традиционная казахская философия, берущая начало с акынов-жырау и нашедшая свое продолжение в философии Абая и Шакарима, является не профессиональной, научной философией, но философией мудрости, понимания и воспитания, переплетающейся с повседневной жизнью человека, религией, искусством, литературой. В творчестве казахских мыслителей всегда доминировали проблемы добра и зла, чести и достоинства человека. Авторы статьи называют казахскую философию практической философией, опираясь на И. Канта.

Objectives: This study aims to identify and assess intestinal parasites with zoonotic potential in terrestrial small mammals to better understand the associated risks. Methods: Live captures were performed using Sherman traps placed in human dwellings within the Abobo commune of Abidjan. Captured animals were euthanized and their legs were thoroughly washed with a Sodium Acetate Acetic Acid Formol solution. Subsequently, the digestive tract contents and leg washing fluids were examined using the Ritchie concentration method. Results: Mus musculus (75.3%) and Rattus rattus (13.5%) emerged as the most prevalent of small mammal species. Overall, 33.3% of these animals were infected with intestinal parasites. The predominant helminth species were Hymenolepis diminuta (8.9%) and Ancylostoma sp. (6.9%), while the primary pathogenic protozoa detected was Giardia intestinalis (2.3%). Conclusion: The presence of parasites of public health importance proves that cohabitation of small mammals with humans poses a significant risk to both public and veterinary health. These data therefore provide valuable information to local and provincial administrations, which should consider population control measures for small mammals to mitigate the transmission of zoonotic diseases to humans. They also provide information to medical practitioners for the diagnosis of possible zoonoses, and a reference for further studies in urban environments in Cote d'Ivoire.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze milk samples, for chemical composition and detection of aflatoxins M1 in Gedarif town, East Sudan. Methods: One hundred milk samples were collected randomly; 35 samples from farms, 35 samples from sale points and 30 samples from groceries in Gedarif town. Milk-Kana was used for determination of fat, solids not fat, lactose and protein, freezing point, density and added water and Unisensor kits were used as screening method for detection of aflatoxin M1. Results: The collected milk samples showed lower content of fat (3.4 +- 1.3%, 3.4 +- 1.3% and 3.5 +- 1.25%), solids not fat (7.7 +-1.1%, 8.1+-1.7% and 8+-1%), lactose (4.2+-0.6%, 4.4+-0.8% and 4.3+-0.5%) and protein (3+-0.4%, 3+-0.5% and 3+-0.4%). Relatively, the freezing point and density of milk revealed few variations in the examined samples. Moreover, the added water was high in the samples collected from the farms and sale points compared to those from the groceries. The occurrence of aflatoxin M1 was found in 22 (27.50%) of the milk samples. The presence of aflatoxin contamination was high in milk samples collected from sales points (15.0%) followed by farms (11.25%) compared to those obtained from groceries (1.25%). Conclusions: The presences of aflatoxin in the milk samples might indicate that the cow milk was contaminated with aflatoxins through feed. Hence this study recommended that good hygienic practices should be considered in Gadarif town. Similarly, regulations and lows for selling the milk should be implemented by the official authorities.

The paper deals with issues concerning to gender inequality. The article demonstrates problems of equity in American social life and higher education system. Women are underrepresented in American colleges and universities. They are practically excluded from the STEM fields due to lots of barriers or biases existing in American society. Women employment and pay gap clearly reveal unequal treatments of people. The problem is a global challenge so lots of international organizations are involved to eliminate the problem and advance more women. Universities are also actively working to create inclusive environment on their campus, through division of students on the basis of gender is a fact.

Dynamic Observation of the American Women and the Military, War and Peace
Authors: SHIOSHVILI Tamar
Published: November 2023

Waves of American women’s movements for reaching changes in their economic, social, and political lives started two centuries ago and were full of turbulences. The role of women in the military has a long history as well. Although the great majority of the U.S. military personnel have always been male, the military has needed and continues to need women’s support and participation in many capacities. Starting from the Revolutionary War, the American women actively got involved in all the wars, but historically women’s saliency in all XVIII-XX wars, would be substituted by their quiescence in the post-war periods, as a result of men’s stereotypical attitude towards women’s role which relegated them to the household chores. Alternatively, women’s participation and contribution to the wars changed their self-images, and led them to expect equal treatment after the war as well. Men’s patriarchal bias towards women’s role was so strong, that it took several centuries, several wars to reach progress in the military and peace.Keywords: equal, post-war, military, combat
The Philosophies behind Revolutionary and Evolutionary Ways towards Social Justice in the Works of Jack London and Upton Sinclair
Authors: SHADURI George
Published: November 2023

Two prominent American writers of the Progressive Era, Jack London and Upton Sinclair, wrote their landmark works on the topic of social justice. Setting socialism as the ultimate goal of the development of society, their visions differed in terms of the ways and methods of achieving this goal. London advocated revolutionary ways of political struggle, while Sinclair preferred more democratic methods (elections). This difference in the visions was reflected in the personalities of the protagonists of their novels as well as the philosophies of the latter. The article explores how these philosophies are linked to the idols of the writers’ youth: Friedrich Nietzsche (London’s) and Jesus Christ (Sinclair’s) and shows that for them the ideas of these idols are a matter of belief, rather than that of reason.Keywords: revolution, socialism, Nietzscheanism, Jesus Christ, ‘the red beast’, ‘the socialist of heart’
From Empires of Nations to the Nation-State of Minorities
Authors: Marzec Wiktor
Published: November 2023

The aim of this article is to investigate the concept of minority up to the temporary stabilization of its meaning in Polish concluded in the adoption of the March constitution of 1921. The history of the concept of national minority bore an imprint on the accommodation to the new political, territorial, and discursive circumstances after transition from empire to nation-state. The idea itself was well anchored in the liberal tradition, but the nationalist right also took it on board to protect the cultural hegemony of the Poles in the areas where they were a minority. Tackling the nexus of the emerging nation-state and the ensuing logic of minoritization sheds light on tiered visions of citizenship essential for understanding the 1921 debate. For this purpose, I use various available sub-corpora of texts—political leaflets, press, and parliamentary debates from the period 1788–1922.
The Mainstreaming of Global Inequality, 1980–2020
Authors: Christiansen Christian Olaf
Published: November 2023

This article maps the conceptual history of global inequality from its marginal status in the 1980s, its minute mainstreaming within research and globalization discourse from the mid-1990s to the late 2000s, until its popularization, politicization, and “economization” in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, recession, and the publication of Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century in 2014. Asking when, why, and how global inequality became a key concept, it draws upon quantitative and qualitative analysis of global inequality in scientific articles, books, and public media. It traces transformations in the term's temporal and spatial meanings and situates these in the contexts of rising within-nation and declining between-nation inequality, inequality research, inequality in public media, and broader discursive fields.
Performances of Death
Authors: Machin Amanda
Published: November 2023

Hunger striking is a form of protest that escapes conventional forms of political participation. I argue that as a spectacular performance of death, the hunger strike not only draws attention to a particular cause or exert moral pressure on an opponent but can galvanize and strengthen a nascent political identity. Drawing on the example of the hunger strike of suffragette Marion Wallace-Dunlop, which I argue performatively constructed the identity of the disciplined “true suffragette,” I explain the hunger strike as a political becoming. Undertaken behind bars, by those denied citizenship rights, this protest should be understood not necessarily as the free expression of an already existing member of the demos but instead as a way of becoming a political subject while contesting and reconfiguring political boundaries.

Combined endoscopic and microsurgical approach for the drainage of a multisegmental thoracolumbar epidural abscess: illustrative case
Authors: Hagel Vincent , Dymel Felix , Werle Stephan , Barrera Vera , Farshad Mazda
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Spinal epidural abscess is a rare but serious infectious disease that can rapidly develop into a life-threatening condition. Therefore, the appropriate treatment is indispensable. Although conservative treatment is justifiable in certain cases, surgical treatment needs to be considered as an alternative early on because of complications such as (progressive) neurological deficits or sepsis. However, traditional surgical techniques usually include destructive approaches up to (multilevel) laminectomies. Such excessive approaches do have biomechanical effects potentially affecting the long-term outcomes. Therefore, minimally invasive approaches have been described as alternative strategies, including endoscopic approaches.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe a surgical technique involving a combination of two minimally invasive approaches (endoscopic and microsurgical) to drain a multisegmental (thoracolumbar) abscess using the physical phenomenon of continuous pressure difference to minimize collateral tissue damage.

LESSONS

The combination of minimally invasive approaches, including the endoscopic technique, may be an alternative in draining selected epidural abscesses while achieving a similar amount of abscess removal and causing less collateral approach damage in comparison with more traditional techniques.
GENEALOGICAL COMPLEX AND TRADITIONS OF THE HOLY SUPPER: PSYCHOLOGICAL AND ETHNOGRAPHIC VIEW
Authors:   KROK University, Tkach Razida , Kyrylchuk Myroslava ,   "Visti Rivnenshchyny"
Published: November 2023

The article offers psychological and ethnographic views on the archetype and symbolism of Ukrainian folk customs, in particular the tradition of the Holy Supper; the structure of the psyche, the theory of archetypes and complexes by C. Jung are considered. The author points out the pole nature of the archetype and its properties: image, emotion, and dynamism; emphasizes that the absence of any of these elements means that there is no archetype. The author emphasizes that archetypes have a healing power for a person, and complexes can become an obstacle to personal development and cause psychological problems. The mechanism of the complex emergence is revealed as a consequence of the fact that the polar structure of the archetype breaks down when it is divided into parts under the influence of traumatic events, for example, into negative and positive poles. The author defines the generic complex as a part (components) of the unconscious that are interconnected by strong emotions, stereotypical behavior and the general content of the generic archetype. It is noted that these are relationships with “inner ancestors” formed by the real family circle of a person, society and the archetypal image of ancestors. The rite of the Holy Supper as a family holiday is described and its influence on the psychological state of a person is revealed. Examples of human experiences that “fill” the positive and negative poles of the archetype of the Holy Supper are given. In particular, it is noted that in the positive pole it carries gratitude, abundance, hope, memory, protection, care, etc., and in the negative pole it carries fear, anxiety, despair, hunger and abandonment. It is pointed out that the holistic archetype has all these emotions, and most of them are not personal experiences of a person, but collective experience (from family and clan to nation and all mankind). Psychological measures to help a person who is under the influence of a negative generic complex are indicated, namely: the need to realize the negative component of the archetype, activate the positive pole, and “flatten” both parts into a single whole. The technique of psychological assistance “The Lost Photo” is proposed.
HIGHER EDUCATION APPLICANTS' PERSONAL CONTRADICTIONS AND THEIR CORRECTION BY MEANS OF PSYCHODRAMA
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Shuldyk Anatolii , Shuldyk Halyna ,   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to a personal contradiction as inconsistency between different constituents of human psyche (between needs and possibilities of satisfying them, between consciousness and not conscious psychic phenomena, between wrong thoughts as well as actions and emotions). To overcome a personal problem is to realize and refuse a programmed behavior, which does not allow meeting a planned target, and the gradual formation of new samples of the effective behavior as well. Currently, the choice and use of effective methods to diagnose and correct students’ personal problems have been real. The aim of the article – to deepen understanding and correct students-psychologists’ personal problems using psychodrama. Main tasks were based on correcting personal contradictions which might have occurred in, mechanisms of psychological defenses, as well as students’ crisis conditions – intended psychologists. To diagnose mechanisms of psychological defenses we used a questionnaire of R. Plutchyk, H. Kellerman, and H. Conte. To diagnose and correct personal contradictions it has been held psychodramatic sessions for students in the process of learning the discipline “Psychodrama”. Those sessions consisted of warming-up, a selection of the protagonist, a psychodramatic action as well as sharing. Consequently, we have defined next positive changes The quantity of not conscious mechanisms of psychological defenses – from від 15.3% до 10.7%. The number of students who were not aware of their own crisis states decreased (from 25.7% to 10.3%). The average awareness of personal problems by students has increased to 6.9%. The understanding of personal contradictions was based on their transformation into the level of consciousness. The correction was based on the believe that the external emotional experience (feeling) of the inner world out of drama helped students understand thoroughly and realize their past, as well as say “good-bye” to them; believe in themselves, in their power and possibilities of positive changes; find out the optimal ways to behave in difficult life situations; master new roles and models of behavior; correct life scenario, solve a conflict, reduce symptoms of hard emotional experience. The psychodrama helped students understand and correct personal problems. This must help him work with clients effectively in the future. Thus, the psychodrama has become the important method of personal contradictions awareness and correction.
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP OF UNIVERSITIES AS A NECESSARY CONDITION FOR THEIR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT DURING ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES
Authors:   KROK University, Marynovych Viktoriia
Published: November 2023

Over the last four years, universities have faced significant negative effects from major "uncertainty shocks", namely the Covid-19 pandemic, and in 2022 the Ukraine war. Such economic uncertainties, which are by their very nature hard to define, have real consequences not only for a separate university but also for the educational sector of Ukraine. Nowadays Ukrainian universities should adjust to economic uncertainties by considering international partnership as a source for a high-quality education and sustainable development. A high-quality education system should be the result of the process of transformation of higher education in Ukraine and fully complement the goals of sustainable development. This determines the relevance of the research.

Published: November 2023

Dhâtu Chao Ruean is a diagnostic tool integral to the treatment and promotion of health, firmly grounded in the principles of Thai traditional medicine. The primary objective of this research was to aggregate, analyse, synthesise, and summarise knowledge related to Dhâtu Chao Ruean. The study employed a qualitative research design, incorporating data collection in three methodological stages, that is, a literature review, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The research findings revealed consistency in the qualitative results across all three methods, specifically pertaining to Dhâtu Chao Ruean. The conclusions suggested that Dhâtu Chao Ruean is subdivided into seven components, which can be further categorised into two groups based on determining factors and duration, namely, Innate Dhâtu Chao Ruean (Dhâtu Chao Ruean Kerd) and Current Dhâtu Chao Ruean (Dhâtu Chao Ruean Patjuban). This study provides foundational knowledge that can potentially spearhead the development of a standard diagnostic framework for Dhâtu Chao Ruean.
