Authors: VIDOVIC Aleksandra
Published: May 2024

In this paper, attention is paid to the management, organization, and structure of work in the university library as one of the functions of making business decisions at the University. The goal of this approach to business is to achieve above-average results with limited resources using new ideas that are important for a narrow but also a wider readership. For the purposes of the research, a questionnaire was created, the main goal of which was to collect data on the degree of use of the university library, both physical access to resources and electronic access to resources in the university library. The research was carried out in cooperation with the Pan-European University Apeiron Bosnia and Herzegovina, where 225 surveyed university students took part in the research. The aim of the research was to examine the level of use of the university library. Processing of the obtained results consisted of Yates correction Chi-squared and chi-squared test, with the use of the statistical program for social research SPSS 22. The results of the research showed that the use of the resources of the university library increases with the year of study, that is, the higher the year of study, the greater the level of use.

The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate customs regulation, identify shortcomings in its functioning in the prewar and wartime periods, develop appropriate practical recommendations, search for alternatives to meet the demand for imported goods and services, as well as restore the customs and financial security of the country with the condition of ensuring global partnership in terms of implementing the seventeenth Sustainable Development Goal «Partnership for Sustainable Development». It is determined that customs regulation is a subsystem of the State regulation of foreign economic activity, which defines and controls the process of movement of goods and services across the customs border. An analysis of current trends, dynamics of customs security and its components in the plane of effective customs regulation and ensuring the customs interests of the country is carried out. The key indicators that determine the level of customs burden on the country’s economy have been calculated and analyzed. There is a negative trend in such indicators as: provision of customs payments to the revenues of the State budget of the country, provision of customs payments of tax revenues, fulfillment of planned indicators for customs payments. The significance of customs payments in the revenues and tax revenues of the State budget is irrefutable. A comparative analysis of the both prewar and wartime structure of customs payments is carried out. The dynamics of the volume of taxed imports and the tax burden on them in Ukraine during 2018–2023 are studied. The key trends of the studied indicators are declining. The largest decline is observed during the pandemic in 2020 and at the beginning of the ongoing war in 2022. The partnership relations between the State and business entities in the context of the issue of customs regulation through the introduction of a system of preferential taxation of imports during the wartime period are studied. A systematization of normative legal acts of 2022, which fixed preferential conditions for business entities, is carried out. The problems of customs regulation of the prewar period, which significantly affected its efficiency and functional capacity in the wartime period, are identified. Measures for further leveling of these problems with the aim of European integration are proposed.

The aim of the article is to substantiate the prerequisites for the development of accounting in cluster structures on the basis of the provisions of key institutional theories – the theory of transaction costs and the contract theory. The theoretical and methodological basis of the article is the basic provisions of institutional economic theory and scientific developments of scientists on the problems of interorganizational accounting. The study was carried out with the use of general scientific and special techniques and methods: scientific abstraction – to study problematic issues and more detailed elaboration of mechanisms for improving accounting; generalization – to systematize the existing scientific approaches; concretization – to characterize the theoretical tools, content and formation of proposals for the development of accounting; graphic – for non-textual display of research results. The recommendations presented in the article regarding the improvement of accounting will allow to more thoroughly and comprehensively identify the economic essence of transaction costs and contractual relations, to reveal the features and form a methodology for their management, including the features of accounting and analysis for operational regulation, control and identification of reserves for reducing transaction costs in the cluster. The allocated directions of development of accounting in the cluster on the basis of the theory of transaction costs and the contract theory, which partially intersect with each other, allow to expand the theoretical provisions of accounting through the explanation of the relationship between participants in terms of the implementation of accounting procedures. The obtained scientific results of theoretical nature can become the starting point for further research in the direction of a better understanding of the current state of scientific developments on the topic. The originality of the study is that it thoroughly reveals the theoretical issues of accounting in the interorganizational management of cluster structures.

The article is devoted to the problems and prospects of adapting project management to the IT crisis of 2022–2023, which was provoked by both global economic problems and the war in Ukraine. The current situation and the trend of adaptation of project management to the IT crisis of 2022–2023 both in Ukraine and in the world in general are analyzed. The problems faced by project management during the global IT crisis are listed. Furthermore, the article lists problems that the IT business will face and what impact it will have on project management in companies. The prospects for development and further measures for successful adaptation to the crisis conditions in the world economy during 2022–2023 are determined. In today’s dynamic and interconnected business environment, project managers face the critical challenge of ensuring successful project management during times of crisis. Strategies and ideas that project managers can apply to successfully overcome crises and strengthen the position of projects are considered. It has been determined that the key to successful IT project management depends on aspects such as agile methodology, risk management, maintaining effective communication, boosting team spirit, etc. By applying agile methodologies, using priority risk management, maintaining clear communication within the company, maintaining team spirit, adapting project plans, and leveraging modern technology, project managers can successfully overcome uncertainty and lead their teams to success. By taking these challenges, learning from them, and becoming stronger on the one hand, project managers can establish themselves as effective crisis leaders in their organizations, and on the other hand, successfully support projects in the company, which will help it survive during the crisis period.

Published: May 2024

The aim of the article is a comparative analysis of the efficiency of functioning of the national economy on the basis of the «input – output» model and the most important macroeconomic indicators of its development. The indicators of efficiency of the functioning of the economy in 2012–2020 were calculated, built on the basis of the relevant elements of the matrices of the coefficients of direct and total costs of the V. Leontiev’s model. The carried-out analysis of performance indicators has made it possible to allocate periods of their growth and decline, to show that less efficient industries are mainly used in the country’s economy. A comparative study of the features of the dynamics of efficiency of functioning of the national economy and the main macroeconomic indicators of its development is carried out. For this purpose, the corresponding pair correlation coefficients are calculated. The closeness of the relationship between macroeconomic indicators of development and quantitative indicators of the investment climate is also assessed. The obtained low values of the defined correlation coefficients may indicate that the processes of change in the size of the national economy in the specified period are not directly related to such an important factor as the efficiency of its functioning, the investment climate is also not significant for the economic development of the State. In this regard, it is natural to assume that other factors have a decisive influence on the development of the economic system of Ukraine, which requires their further identification and study. In addition to the already known on the basis of the «input – output» model, new indicators of efficiency of functioning of macroeconomic systems have been proposed. As an actual direction of development of the presented material, the analysis of the features of the economic and mathematical content and the ratio of various indicators of efficiency, built on the basis of the model of V. Leontiev, and a clarification of the specific possibilities of their use in the relevant economic studies can be considered.

Published: May 2024

Taking into account the key factors of the development of society, the expediency of using certain information technologies for the effective competitive development of enterprises is emphasized. The need for the use of appropriate information technologies is confirmed by the advantages of their implementation. In the course of the study, it is disclosed that the basis of the modern information society is certain SMART-systems, and the driver of competitive development of enterprise is the re-engineering of its business processes, which determined the purpose of the study. To achieve the goal of defining and clarifying the features of SMART-systems to ensure the effective implementation of business processes of the enterprise, the methods of analysis, synthesis, abstraction, comparison, idealization, analogy, and concretization were used. The content of the concept of «SMART-systems» is characterized, the features of the application are described. The expediency and necessity of dividing SMART-systems into certain types depending on their vector-level application have been determined. The features of SMART-systems of each of the selected groups are outlined. The expediency of dividing SMART-systems into the proposed groups is substantiated by the possibility of their more operative implementation, faster adaptation, wider range of application and the ability to combine them as constituent elements of the hierarchical structure of an integral system. The hierarchical interaction of information systems of different groups will contribute to the formation of a comprehensive SMART-system for ensuring the effective competitive development of an individual enterprise with its component technologies, software products, etc., due to the possibility of combining the advantages of some systems, leveling the difficulties of implementing others. It is substantiated that the integrity of the information and digital support of the enterprise’s activities will contribute to the choice of more effective options for the interaction of individual business processes, their more efficient implementation and more flexible editing depending on changes in the conditions for the functioning of enterprises, as well as focusing more attention on key business processes at a particular point in time.
Synergy of Managerial Effects in the Aspect of Ensuring the Optimal Level of Transparency in the Development of Industrial Enterprises on the Basis of Testing the Presence of ß Convergence

Published: May 2024

It is determined that the implementation of a qualitative analysis of the formation of strategic guidelines for the convergence of investment processes makes it possible to ensure the appropriate strategically relevant level of financial and economic sustainability of industrial enterprises and investment and innovation development; target strategic level of profitability; creation of an information-adaptive platform for the flexibility of the system for management of the investment processes. The dominant strategic directions for achieving the conditions for convergence of investment processes of industrial enterprises are the timely identification of synergy of managerial effects of development transparency on the basis of testing the presence of ? convergence. At this, a strategically important factor of synergistic influence is both external one, which is aimed at checking the compliance of transparent economic results of enterprises and a certain ? level of convergence of investment processes with the current adaptive-established norms, and the internal factor, the purpose of which is to ensure the implementation of transparent decisions, as well as to prevent undesirable consequences when changing the strategic and economic norms of the level of transparency of development. It is concluded that the economic identification of structuring the synergetic relationship of managerial effects and ? convergence covers their strategic dominants, which form the integrity of the transparency of development, their relations with other dominants of convergent influences and the external environment. Synergy of managerial effects and testing of ? convergence are taken into account as factors that can increase the level of competitiveness, the level of price/quality ratio and the level of cost/quality (the former is determined by consumers, we are talking about the price they are willing to pay and the quality they trust, the latter is production), and the level of efficiency of the process organization, which defines them as the highest priority criteria for transparency in the development of enterprises in terms of vector and rank orientation. Thus, in order to increase the level of variability of the impact of the synergy of managerial effects of transparency in the development of industrial enterprises on the level of ? convergence, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the industry and the real conditions of industrial enterprises, to develop and implement a strategically relevant set of measures, among which the strategically dominant directions are, as a matter of course, increasing the level of profitability in the context of convergence of investment processes.

The article defines the competitive advantages and competitive potential of life insurance companies (LICs). It is noted that the insurance business is an important part of the financial and credit system, and the insurance market is an ideal place for the development of this industry. Attention is focused on the fact that the life insurance market in Ukraine is at the stage of formation. The current unstable socioeconomic situation, the military aggression of the russian federation, and the peculiarities of the cultural and historical traditions of Ukrainians are the main obstacles and problems for its development. Based on the carried out SWOT analysis, it is concluded that there are certain problems in the activities of LICs. Along with the spread of global trends in globalization and integration of national markets, automation of operational processes, increased competition, trends that are characteristic features of the Ukrainian insurance market are manifested. It is determined that the management of the competitive potential of LICs depends on the adoption of the right managerial decisions in the formation and use of its competitive advantages. The measures are presented in the form of program-target blocks that will provide the basis for creating a mechanism for managing the competitive potential of LICs. In addition, each of the blocks can be considered as a separate subsystem that consists of different components. The components of management of the competitive potential of LICs are defined. It is determined that the assessment of the insurer’s competitive advantages and competitive potential will be possible only with the help of a systematic assessment, which has a clear basis of comparison. This assessment should take into account not only the financial aspect, but also the results of management, the effectiveness of the use of marketing tools, the quality of insurance services and the service of the insured. Measures to increase the competitive potential of insurance services are presented. It is concluded that one of the important conditions for effective management of the competitiveness of life insurance companies is to determine the competitive advantages and competitive potential of LICs, which in the long run allows to assess the level of competitiveness of an insurance company and develop certain measures to adapt to the needs of the insurance market at all stages of operational activities and management links for a quick and prompt response to external threats.

The article highlights the issue of forming and managing customer loyalty in the service sector by using digital tools. The importance of customer loyalty as one of the most powerful components of an enterprise’s intellectual capital is emphasized. The types of loyalty are characterized according to the criteria of attitude to the brand (positive/negative) and the frequency of repeated transactions (absolute, hidden, false, zero). Loyalty indicators and how to calculate them are covered: customer retention rate, customer long-term value, Net Promoter Score, customer satisfaction surveys, customer effort evaluation, cause and effect questions, repeated purchases and referrals, engagement. It was noted that among the various types of loyalty (bonus program, fixed discount, temporary discount, multi-level discount program, product as a gift, partner loyalty program, paid loyalty program) the non-commercial program deserves the most attention, because in the long term it forms and testifies to absolute customer loyalty. The main types of loyalty management in the context of digitalization include transactional, social-network, related to the influence on engagement, emotions, consumer behavior, and intentions to recommend a service. It is emphasized that automated systems, such as software for managing business processes and online services for booking procedures, are becoming an integral part of modern beauty salons and offer a wide range of possibilities: online booking for services through a website or mobile application, reminders about visits by messages or e-mail; a calendar of appointments for services with the possibility of synchronization with personal calendars of beauty masters; automatic control of consumables balances, formation of supply orders, cash book management, income and expense accounting, profitability analysis; newsletters about promotions and special offers, maintenance of pages in social networks; storage of information about customers, their preferences, history of visits through the CRM system. The positive consequences of using automation in beauty salons include increasing efficiency and productivity, improving customer service, increasing profitability, expanding marketing and advertising opportunities, improving ratings and reviews, but among the negative ones, we single out dependence on technology, loss of personal contact, and threats to data privacy. A developed set of advertising events with seasonal specialization using online tools (conducting master classes and virtual consultations, seasonal loyalty programs, charity initiatives, promotions for special dates) is presented.

Метою статті є теоретико-емпіричне дослідження особливостей життєстійкості осіб, що були учасниками воєнних дій, та її зв’язку з копінг-стратегіями. Задля досягнення мети використано психодіагностичні методики: тест життєстійкості С. Мадді та тест Д. Лазаруса. Застосовано методи статистичної обробки даних (порівняльний та кореляційний аналізи). Вибірку емпіричного дослідження склали 35 чоловіків у віці 22–55 років, які перебували в Україні й у різний спосіб були залучені до воєнних дій (сили спеціальних операцій, тероборона, волонтери тощо). Результати. Показники складових життєстійкості вибірки розподілилися таким чином: “залучення” характеризується високим рівнем у 63.50% респондентів, середнім рівнем – у 28.30%, низьким рівнем – у 8.20%, “контроль” – високий рівень – 69.20%, середній рівень – 15.30%, низький рівень – 15.50%; “прийняття ризику” – високий рівень прояву характерний лише для 14.10%, середній рівень – для 35.30%, низький рівень – для 50.60%. Домінуючими копінгами у досліджуваних виявлено “прийняття відповідальності” (М = 15.10), “самоконтроль” (М = 14.50) та “конфронтаційний копінг” (М = 10.30). Найнижчий рівень копінгу отримала “позитивна переоцінка” (М = 5.60). За результатами проведеного кореляційного аналізу з’ясовано наявність таких кореляційних зв’язків: кореляційний зв’язок між “залученням” і “плануванням вирішення проблеми” (R = .432; р ≤ .01) та “прийняттям відповідальності” (R = .451; р ≤ .01), “прийняттям ризику” і “конфронтаційним копінгом” (R = .611; р ≤ .01) та копінгом “втеча-уникнення” (R = .550; р ≤ .01). У результаті теоретико-емпіричного дослідження подано характеристику життєстійкості особистості в контексті стресостійкості та життєздатності. Установлено, що запорука формування життєстійкості – це розвиток життєздатності особистості, яка допомагає подолати кризові ситуації. Запропоновано розглядати життєстійкість як комплекс навичок, що допомагають людині не лише пережити важкі часи, а навіть зміцнити себе чи здобути нові вміння і навички. Дискусія та висновки. За результатами проведеного емпіричного дослідження виявлено домінування в респондентів таких складників життєстійкості, як контроль та залученість, а також набагато менший рівень прояву прийняття ризику. Серед домінуючих копінг-стратегій виокремлено “прийняття відповідальності”, “самоконтроль” та “конфронтаційний копінг”. Найнижчий рівень прояву спостерігається в копінг-стратегії “позитивна переоцінка”. Визначено кореляційні зв’язки копінг-стратегій та складників життєстійкості, а саме: компонент “залучення” пов’язаний із копінг-стратегіями “прийняття відповідальності” та “планування вирішення проблем”, а “прийняття ризику” – з конфронтаційним копінгом і копінгом “утеча – уникнення”. Отримані результати дають змогу розширити напрями і методи психологічної підтримки та допомоги особам з формування життєстійкості задля ефективної адаптації у кризових ситуаціях.
Вплив професійно важливих якостей працівників патрульної поліції на стратегії прийняття рішень
Authors: Помиткіна Любов , Помиткін Едуард , Яковицька Лада
Published: May 2024

У статті представлено результати теоретико-емпіричного дослідження впливу професійно важливих якостей працівників на стратегії прийняття рішень у діяльності патрульної поліції; на теоретичному рівні проаналізовано досягнення сучасних учених і практиків стосовно специфіки прийняття рішень в екстремальних умовах діяльності; уточнено дані щодо особливостей діяльності патрульної поліції в умовах військових дій. Метою публікації є висвітлення результатів дослідження впливу професійно важливих якостей працівників на стратегії прийняття рішень у професійній діяльності патрульної поліції. Методи дослідження: “Оцінка оперативної зорової пам’яті” (Münsterberg, 2011), “Діагностика вибірковості уваги” (Münsterberg, 2011); “Дослідження рівня імпульсивності” В. Лосенкова (Лемак, Петрище, 2012); “Діагностика комунікативної соціальної компетентності” (Фетіскін та ін., 2002); “Мельбурнський опитувальник прийняття рішень” (Mann et. al., 1997). Результати. З’ясовано, що конструктивна стратегія прийняття рішень “пильність” детермінована такими домінантними характеристиками, як емоційна стійкість, самостійність, раціональність, вибірковість уваги та цілеспрямованість. Отже, для патрульних, яким властива висока емоційна стійкість, самостійність, раціональність, цілеспрямованість, а також високий рівень вибірковості уваги, характерною стратегією буде “пильність”, тобто раціональна стратегія. Щодо неконструктивних стратегій прийняття рішень, які, на жаль, мають місце серед працівників патрульної поліції, результати наступні: стратегія “уникнення” детермінована чуттєвістю, емоційністю, що перешкоджає здатності вирішувати проблему та приймати рішення самостійно; на вибір стратегії “прокрастинація” впливає показник імпульсивності; на стратегію “гіперпильність” впливають такі характеристики, як неуважність та імпульсивність мислення. Дискусія і в исновки. Обґрунтовано, що на вибір стратегій прийняття рішень у роботі патрульної поліції впливає рівень розвитку професійно важливих якостей працівників; отримані дані необхідно враховувати під час формування команд патрульної поліції, а також у підготовці та перепідготовці працівників, що в цілому забезпечить свідомий вибір конструктивних стратегій та підвищить ефективність діяльності.
Українська адаптація шкали для оцінки генералізованого тривожного розладу GAD-7: досвід діагностики в умовах воєнного стану

Мета дослідження – розробити україномовну адаптацію методики оцінки генералізованого тривожного розладу GAD-7 та перевірити її психометричні властивості. Методи. Прямий і зворотній переклад здійснювався незалежно декількома фахівцями, що мають фахову підготовку з англійської філології та психології, після чого підлягав експертній перевірці узгодженості. Збір даних відбувався онлайн і проходив у два етапи (грудень 2023 р., січень 2024 р.). Вибірку склали цивільні українці віком 17–75 років, які проживали в різних областях країни або перебували у вимушеній міграції за кордоном (786 та 315 осіб відповідно), серед них переважали жінки з вищою освітою. Результати переконують у високій психометричній компетентності адаптованого інструменту. Підтверджено відмінні показники внутрішньої узгодженості й дискримінативності пунктів, показано ретестову надійність та критеріальну валідність шкали (кореляції з показниками опитувальників “Психічне здоров’я дорослих” та Шкали позитивного ментального здоров’я). Факторна структура методики відповідає оригінальній одновимірній моделі. Показник GAD-7 достатньо точно прогнозує необхідність звернення за психологічною допомогою, має міцні прямі кореляції з діагностичними змінними, що вимірюють тривожність та депресію, негативно корелює з оцінками психологічного здоров’я. Водночас емпіричні показники GAD-7 у вибірці розподілені анормально: більше 40.0% респондентів отримали оцінку 10 та більше балів, що відповідає вияву патологічної симптоматики. Такі оцінки не рекомендовано однозначно інтерпретувати як свідчення генералізованого тривожного розладу, оскільки вони можуть відображати закономірний вплив тривалої воєнної агресії на психоемоційний стан українців (неадаптивна реакція на хронічний стрес, психологічне травмування тощо). Обидва статуси свідчать про порушення психічного здоров’я і потребують відповідних втручань, проте шляхи та засоби цієї допомоги різняться. Середній показник тривоги жінок значимо перевищує такий у чоловіків (9.70 та 6.93 відповідно), що відповідає природним особливостям цього стану. Висновки. Адаптована україномовна версія GAD-7 є ефективним інструментом для скринінгу симптомів тривожного розладу в психологічній практиці та наукових дослідженнях, у тому числі – в екстремальних умовах існування. У ситуації воєнного стану слід відрізняти клінічні розлади, пов’язані з тривогою, від ситуативно-обумовленої реакції на об’єктивну небезпеку, що потребує додаткових досліджень.
Las actitudes de los actores en el proceso educativo. Su impacto en los estudiantes migrantes hispanos para alcanzar el éxito en matemáticas e inglés
Authors: Fonseca Cárdenas Ramón Federico , Torres Pagán Leonardo
Published: May 2024

El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las actitudes de los actores del proceso educativo para verificar su impacto en el éxito escolar de los alumnos migrantes hispanos en matemáticas e inglés, ya que la migración frecuente y su limitada comprensión del idioma los coloca en alto riesgo escolar. La investigación con un enfoque mixto se basó en un marco teórico/conceptual constructivista-social; con diseño de tipo no-experimental, transversal y correlacional-causal; con una muestra de tipo probabilístico aleatorio. Los resultados mostraron una falta de integración entre algunos de los actores del proceso educativo, promovida no por actitudes prejuiciosas sino más bien de indiferencia a trabajar en conjunto. Las conclusiones obtenidas podrán contribuir a que la práctica docente sea transformada con la adopción de estrategias que mejoren el proceso académico en matemáticas e inglés dirigido a esta minoría, pero enfatizando el involucramiento de sus familias y comunidades locales. A partir de las conclusiones, se recomienda la integración de un comité a nivel distrital para delinear un modelo de binomio enseñanza-aprendizaje con actividades que transformen las malas actitudes, mediante una disposición y empatía que aliente la práctica habitual de buenas actitudes y sane el entorno educativo en que ellos se desenvuelven.
Support for Social Movements
Authors: Duggirala Eswari
Published: May 2024

The factors that contribute to support for social movements and penalizing extreme protest actions are not well understood; this study aims to identify those factors. We tested three hypotheses in this study. Hypothesis 1 expects that support for the goal of the movement will go down when presented with more extreme protest actions. Hypothesis 2 predicts that the size of the extremity penalty will depend on the framing of the movement (group versus goal of the movement). Hypothesis 3 predicts that the effect of framing on the size of extremity penalty will depend on the described morality of the movement. One pilot study and two experimental studies were conducted, with a 2x2 manipulation and ratings of ten protest actions. Data were collected via an online survey (consisting of 336 undergraduate students) and were analyzed using multilevel models. Results showed that as protest actions became more extreme, support for the movement decreased. Study 1A found larger extremity penalties when the framing of the movement was focused on the group compared to the goal of the movement. Additionally, morality moderated the interaction of framing and extremity. Study 1B found larger extremity penalties when the group was perceived as highly moral. This study identified that extremity levels, framings of the movement and perceived morality act as factors influencing extremity penalties. Identifying these factors encourages a better understanding of how social movements can become more effective.

¡Raza Sí! ¡Guerra No!
Authors: Otto Dillon
Published: May 2024

On August 29, 1970, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Los Angeles to protest the Vietnam war as part of the National Chicano Moratorium. In response to highly disproportionate numbers of Chicano casualties listed among the wounded, protestors from all factions of the Chicano Movement marched to demand an end to the war. By the end of the day, the police had killed three protestors while dozens more were critically injured. The massacre at the Chicano Moratorium was a low point in the civil rights history of the United States, but it is also clear evidence of how numerous actors, institutions, and events unified the Chicano movement towards one goal during the Vietnam War. Its violent suppression by the Los Angeles Police Department also situates the event in a larger history of government supported violence against minorities and civil rights groups. This paper tracks the development of the Chicano identity, civil rights movement, and the development of anti-war sentiment from the early twentieth century up to the 1970 moratorium.
Imperial Influence and Innovation: The Good Emperors and The Bronze Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius
Authors: DiNapoli Grace
Published: May 2024

Roman portraiture provides insight into the ways in which political and social ideologies of the imperial dynasties manifested in imagery. Such iconography legitimized emperors' authority by simultaneously cultivating a visual connection to past leaders and promoting the agenda of the contemporary dynasty. While drawing upon the symbolism of previous sovereigns and establishing iconographic elements materialized within dynastic imagery, it is also evident in the representations of individual emperors. This paper explores the presence of influence and innovation within the imperial representation of the Good Emperors and focuses on examining the Bronze Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius. It highlights the evolution of imperial portraiture within the adoptive succession of the Good Emperors and how such imagery successfully perpetuated values of social welfare, military dominance, and intellectual growth and served to reinforce the continuity of this dynasty. Moreover, through a comprehensive analysis of the sculpture of Marcus Aurelius, it seeks to understand the symbolic significance of the monument with respect to the gestures, garb, and notable facial features associated with this emperor. This representation of Marcus Aurelius embodies the essence of influence and innovation as he is depicted in a manner congruent with that of his predecessors and revolutionizes the incorporation of insight into the psychological state of a Caesar.
A Rainy Night in Shinjuku
Authors: Cook Parker
Published: May 2024

Shinjuku’s desolate yet cramped alleyways and backstreets are often kept alive by the neon lights of shops and stores. This is true of all of Tokyo’s wards, but, to me, Shinjuku felt more real. With few exceptions, Shinjuku lacks the tourist-centric commercialism that is heavily present in more famous areas like Shibuya, Ginza, and Roppongi, and because of that, every experience there felt more genuine. I took this photograph whilst walking around and exploring Shin-Okubo, one of Shinjuku’s many neighborhoods, with my friend. I’m not sure why, but at that moment, I felt like I was living in Japan for the first time when, before, I had still felt like a tourist.

Authors: Kaeli Wagener
Published: May 2024

This piece of digital media, one out of a series, is made by me as part of a UROP effort alongside the Rare and Distinctive Collections at Norlin to make a vast fairy tale collection accessible to the public. Pictured in the banner are a variety of illustrations taken from different books being entered into an online database to create a fantastical scene, highlighting parts of little-known tales across cultures. The illustration for this college are taken from the following sources housed on campus: From Europa’s Fairy Book: “A Dozen at a Blow,” “The Unseen Bridegroom,” “The Dancing Water, the Singing Apple, and the Speaking Bird,” “The Language of Animals,” and “The Master-Maid”. From The Green Fairy Book: “The Enchanted Snake,” From The Book of Fables and Folk Stories: “Puss in Boots,” From The Yellow Fairy Book: “The Six Swans,” From The Brown Fairy Book: “The Bunyip,” and From The Pink Fairy Book: “Esben and the Witch,” “The Snow-Queen”.
Evolution of Professional Standards: Reflecting on the Past to Inform the Future
Authors: Stayton Vicki , Kilgo Jennifer , McCollum Jeanette , Lifter Karin , Mickelson Ann , Purcell Megan , Spence Christine , Vail Cynthia , Zaghlawan Hasan , Barton Erin
Published: May 2024

Clearly defined professional standards result in better prepared professionals who positively impact outcomes for children and families by ensuring an effective workforce. This article describes the evolution of early intervention early/childhood special education preparation standards from the on-the-job competencies of the 1960s to the historic 2020 Initial Practice-Based Professional Standards for Early Interventionists/Early Childhood Special Educators (EI/ECSE Standards), in concert with the evolution of the profession itself. Influencing factors include (a) changes in federal legislation and policy, (b) ages and characteristics of children served, (c) growing knowledge of effective practices, (d) collaboration with other disciplines, and (e) ongoing advocacy for EI/ECSE as a profession. The article concludes with a vision for using these EI/ECSE Standards to guide the future local, state, and national agenda of the profession around preservice preparation and accreditation, professional development, state and federal policy, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and standards-informed research.
Putting Eastern Europe Back Into Western Civilization
Authors: Cox John
Published: May 2024

This essay offers a brief description of efforts by a specialist to rework courses for a general curriculum. Needless to say, this adaptation is a common concern for faculty at colleges and small universities. Where there is a strong core curriculum, professors are often called upon to teach surveys or other general courses that include but move well outside their specialties. My own graduate work was in East European history; my foreign research languages are Serbian, German, Slovene, and Hungarian; my visceral frames of reference for historical questions are quintessentially East European concepts such as nationalism, irredenta, great power hegemonism, lagging economic modernization, linguistic diversity, and cultural fault lines; my dissertation was a biography of a revisionist Yugoslav communist. But much of my time in our required freshmen classes is spent teaching a lot of different material, from Hatshepsut to Hiroshima. My colleagues have similar experiences. How do we adapt, and what constructive perspectives can a specialist bring to a general course?
Davis, A History Of Britain, 1885-1939; Pugh, Britain Since 1789 - A Concise History
Authors: Kriegel Abraham
Published: May 2024

These admirable surveys are written by scholars who have previously made singular contributions to the monographic literature of modem British history. Martin Pugh, Professor of Modem History at the University of Newcastle, is the author of works on David Lloyd George, electoral politics of the late nineteenth and twentieth century, and twentieth-century women's history. The Oxford historian John Davis has written heretofore on the politics of metropolitan London. Each is familiar with the major revisionist interpretations of modem British studies and incorporates recent monographic research into their respective works.
Rakove, Declaring Rights - A Brief History With Documents; Wills, A Necessary Evil - A History Of American Distrust Of Government
Authors: Pynn Tom
Published: May 2024

In contemporary America, ongoing controversies about rights, as Jack Rakove points out in Declaring Rights, have spurred an interest "in the historical origins of the Bill of Rights." It is hard enough defining or talking about rights, but when we engage in discussions about how rights were conceived of in the eighteenth century, the difficulty is only magnified.
Winters, Ed., The Civil Rights Movement; Siebold, Ed., Martin Luther King, Jr.
Authors: Swedberg Sarah
Published: May 2024

These two anthologies from Greenhaven Press focus on the modern civil rights movement. The Civil Rights Movement focuses on the period from 1954 to the present, and Martin Luther King, Jr. on the impact of Martin Luther King, Jr. on that movement. Both anthologies work to provide some useful information on civil rights for a high school or introductory-level college audience.
Exploring The Atlantic World
Authors: Laing Annette
Published: May 2024

"The Atlantic World" is an emerging perspective in early American history, one that blends nicely with contemporary interest in globalization. 1 This field is an exploration of connections that formed among Africa, Europe, and the Americas between c. 1500 and c. 1800, not only of the political and economic links engendered by colonization, but also the ecological, social, and cultural impacts of initial contact and subsequent interconnections. At the same time, scholars are exploring comparative history within the region, particularly through seminal topics such as gender and religion. Historians thus far have found the paradigm stimulating. For example, the model offers hope of rescuing English history from critics who accuse it of insularity and African history from those who would continue to ignore that vast continent's active role in world history. Yet it is also a conceptualization whose implications are only beginning to be worked out by European, African, and American historians.
Swisher, Ed., Victorian England
Authors: Blackey Robert
Published: May 2024

In the last 500 years, England has been headed by 23 monarchs, six of whom were women. Two of these women, Elizabeth I and Victoria, not only reigned longer than anyone else, but both lent their names to characterize an age, thus adding to the significance of what they represented. The book under review, part of a "Turning Points in World History" series, consists of excerpts from previously published works "chosen for their accessibility" and introduced by an editor who provides "a general overview of the principal events and figures involved, placing the topic in its historical context."
Donald & Rees, Eds., Reinterpreting Revolution In Twentieth-Century Europe
Authors: Levinson Daniel
Published: May 2024

Understanding the recent past is often much harder for historians than seeing the far past clearly. One of the many strengths of this collection of essays is the new perspectives it opens on 1989 as well as 1789. The editors, both British academics, sought contributors who could furnish sociological as well as historical perspective on the history of revolution as a concept, and apply those views both to specific events and to the concept of revolution in general. They have succeeded admirably in putting together a book that will enrich teachers at all levels and provide a fascinating challenge to skillful post-secondary students assigned to read in it.
Service, The Russian Revolution, 1900-1927; White, Lenin: The Practice And Theory Of Revolution
Authors: Whisenhunt William
Published: May 2024

The Russian Revolution of 1917 is one of the most compelling and controversial topics in modem Russian history. The backgrounds and ideologies of the participants vary from defenders of the monarchy to radical revolutionaries and many in between. How these events and people have been interpreted over the past 85 years has filled hundreds of books and journal articles with many varied opinions. The controversy over how to interpret the Russian Revolution has made it difficult to introduce to students who are unfamiliar with the depth of the subject.
Finding The Sources
Authors: Fischer Gayle , Morgan Mia
Published: May 2024

Team-teaching, a topic that generates a great deal of discussion among academics interested in pedagogy, usually involves professors from different disciplines teaching a single class from the perspective of two academic fields. For example, a historian and a geographer might teach a course on the Silk Road, or a historian and a literary critic might combine their knowledge to design a class on racism. The combinations are endless. Although pedagogical literature has focused on the teamwork required for successful team-teaching experiences, little discussion has been generated on alternative collaborative efforts between historians and their colleagues.
This article presents a collaboration between a historian, Gayle V. Fischer, and a librarian, Mia Morgan. As we take you through the history of our ongoing collaboration, we will introduce an historical exercise that you might find useful in the classroom. But we hope that you learn from our experience and see the potential for collaborative efforts that do not require committing an entire semester or course to an "experiment." Additionally, working with a colleague can enrich the study of history f or your students and yourself.
Explaining History In A Nutshell
Authors: Tamura Eileen
Published: May 2024

This essay offers an approach that introduces undergraduate students to the nature of historical inquiry. Samuel Wineburg and Janice Fournier have shown that merely taking a number of history courses will not automatically mean that students will think historically.1 Many high school and college history courses and the textbooks they use are infonnation-driven,2 and unless they are specifically designed to immerse students in the mindset and methodology of the discipline, thinking historically will remain out of reach.
This approach can also be used in classes with future secondary history teachers, many of whom have little or no background in history and yet will have the responsibility of teaching the subject. A disturbing 53.9 percent of seventh- to twelfth-grade students who take courses in United States history and world history have teachers who have not majored or even minored in history.3
