Social Worker's Importance of Intercultural Communication for Social Service
Authors: Dhamo Eris , Canaj Jonela
Published: November 2024

Objective: Intercultural communication is the process of communication between individuals or groups who come from different cultures. In an increasingly globalised world, intercultural communication is essential as it allows us to effectively and comprehensibly transmit information, ideas, and values between different cultures. This study aims to analyse and evaluate how intercultural communication influences the performance and outcomes of social workers from the perspective of social workers.
 
Theoretical Framework: Social workers play a crucial role in assisting clients with personal, family, and community issues, ensuring appropriate social functioning and meeting needs. Effective communication with the client and their immediate environment is a cornerstone of social work practice, as it is a key component of problem-solving and functioning. Therefore, social workers must strive to be proficient communicators.
 
Method: The study was conducted using a qualitative research approach. Qualitative content analysis analyses written texts, particularly those in the human and health sciences. The overall objective of content analysis is to describe the similarities and differences in the text's content.
Results and Discussion: To focus on the social worker implementation and interpretation perspective of intercultural communication and paying more attention to others. The implementation and interpretation of intercultural communication among social workers in Albania are of great importance, as there has been an increase in the number of asylum seekers in recent years. Social workers must develop cultural competence to engage with clients from different cultural backgrounds effectively.
 
Research Implications: Utilize a qualitative research approach for gathering data. Conduct in-depth interviews with social workers to understand their experiences, challenges, and insights regarding intercultural communication in the field of social work.
 
Originality/Value: The originality of this study lies in its specific focus on the implementation and importance of intercultural communication among social workers in Albania. While the general concept of intercultural communication in social work has been explored globally, examining it within the Albanian context provides unique insights. This is particularly relevant given the recent increase in asylum seekers and returning emigrants in Albania, which poses specific challenges and opportunities for social workers.

Published: November 2024

Objective: Sri Lanka is currently passing a period that requires comprehensive reforms of its education system. The country should have a curriculum reform cycle of eight years with at least two revision cycles within the reform cycle. The country's current education system must overcome three significant challenges: the Curriculum, Assessments, and Inadequate Quality of Education. The study analysed the challenges lower secondary students face in applying Competency-Based Education in mathematics education from perspectives of student-related, teacher-related, home/parent-related factors and availability of resources.
 
Method: The research adopted a cross-sectional survey design with a quantitative data collection method. A questionnaire was used as the primary data collection instrument. A multistage sampling method was used to select a sample of 454 students from grades ten and eleven of the Western Province of Sri Lanka.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings revealed that the above challenges impede the application of CBE in the mathematics learning process at the lower secondary level.
 
Research Implications: The findings lead to various recommendations, including a curriculum revision urgently needed in the country. Also, the Department of Education should devise a mechanism to monitor the teaching-learning process regularly and provide teachers with adequate training where necessary. Further, implement a competency-based assessment system to uplift the 21st-century skills within students, and the Ministry of Education with the help of other stakeholders to provide quality, relevant resources including IT facilities consistent with the CBE curriculum. The aspects discussed would benefit policymakers, administrators, and teachers in enhancing the mathematics teaching-learning process.

Background: One of the key components of the stomatognathic system is the teeth. Health professionals are concerned about the public's understanding of the importance of oral and dental examinations. The fact that only a very small number of Indonesians receive dental and oral care when they have dental and oral problems proves this. The aging process is a natural event that no one can completely avoid. People aged 60 years or older are considered elderly. Tooth loss is a result of this process, which impacts the teeth and periodontal tissues. The activities and functions of the oral cavity can be disrupted if tooth loss is not treated, thereby reducing the quality of life. Another option is to use dentures. Objective: The quality of life of elderly patients who use dentures is currently unknown. Therefore, through this research, we want to know how the quality of life of elderly patients who use dentures is described. Method: This type of research is descriptive, with a cross-sectional research design. The number of subjects was determined using the total sample, snowball method. Questionnaires were distributed to respondents in the form of a google form. Results: The results of this research can be seen through tables based on the answers to the questionnaire given to elderly respondents. The majority of elderly respondents seemed satisfied and comfortable with using dentures. This is based on findings from answers from the elderly. Conclusion: The quality of life of elderly denture users is included in the good category.

Enhancing Sports Activism and Team Sports Advocacy among Team Sports Athletes in Henan, China
Authors:   Graduate School, Emilio Aguinaldo College, Paco, Manila, Philippines, Chen Jiang
Published: November 2024

This study examines the relationship between the level of sports activism and athletic advocacy among team sports athletes. The analysis focuses on various forms of activism, including symbolic, scholarly, grassroots, sport-based, and economic activism, and their correlation with advocacy efforts in areas such as fair play, social justice, and historical successes. The findings reveal that scholarly activism has a significant positive relationship with advocacy for fair play and social justice as well as engagement with historical successes in sports. Grassroots activism also shows a strong correlation with advocacy for fair play and social justice, highlighting the importance of community involvement in driving social change. However, no significant correlation is found between symbolic, sport-based, or economic activism and advocacy, suggesting that these forms of activism may not directly translate into concrete advocacy outcomes. The study concludes that athletes who engage intellectually and at the community level are more likely to advocate for social justice, while symbolic and economic actions, though impactful, may require further integration with broader advocacy strategies to achieve lasting change.

Authors: Panta Maria , Xygkogianni Maria
Published: November 2024

Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing innovation activities among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Europe, utilizing data from the European Innovation Scoreboard 2024. SMEs play a vital role in the European economy but face significant challenges in fostering innovation due to limited resources and funding. The research explores the impact of firm investments, public and private funding, knowledge resources, and intellectual assets on SME innovation. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the analysis found that firm investments and knowledge resources have a significant positive effect on innovation activities. However, public and private funding and intellectual assets showed no significant direct influence on innovation. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex landscape of SME innovation in Europe, with implications for policy and strategic decision-making. Limitations include the cross-sectional nature of the data and the lack of sector-specific analysis, pointing to areas for further research.

Keywords: European SMEs, Innovation activities, Knowledge resources, Intellectual assets, Funding, R&D investments.
Towards a Framework of Culturally Responsive Boarding
Authors: Healey Simone , Auld Glenn
Published: November 2024

First Nations students from remote communities frequently make the choice to move to boarding school to complete their secondary education because of the limited educational opportunities in their local communities. To do this, students leave their family and peer support structures during adolescence. Although governments have provided funding for First Nations students to attend boarding school long before the Closing the Gap targets were set, outcomes of boarding for many of these students continue to disappoint, with low retention rates and below-average academic outcomes. Building on the principles of Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, a Culturally Responsive Boarding framework is proposed that reflects the unique needs of remote First Nation students. A rapid review included 21 peer reviewed articles about First Nations student experiences at boarding schools. The results were thematically coded to reveal that five Culturally Responsive Pedagogy strands were evident in the experiences of First Nations boarding students: having sociocultural consciousness; affirming views of students; acting as agents of change; learning about students and their communities; and culturally responsive teaching practices. Three additional strands emerged from the literature to generate an eight-strand framework of Culturally Responsive Boarding : building cultural safety in boarding; providing health and wellbeing services; and supporting aspirations. Most of the experiences analysed from the literature were negatively positioned relative to the strands in Culturally Responsive Boarding. The framework is limited because of the dearth of independent evaluations of boarding school outcomes for First Nations students. The proposed framework provides a pragmatic placeholder to support First Nations boarding students and their families until broader reforms happen across the boarding school sector in Australia.
Foregrounding Leadership Connectedness
Authors: Thiele Catherine , Casey Joanne , Eager Linda , Simon Susan , Dole Shelley
Published: November 2024

Set within the broader employment crisis facing Australian schools, attracting preservice teachers to teach in a regional, rural, and remote (RRR) school community has been a long-standing educational priority. Research has identified the role of placement initiatives, the benefits of preparing preservice teachers for RRR contexts, and the centrality and significance of community and relationships. What is less frequently acknowledged is the role of school leaders in acting as the nexus between preservice teachers and the RRR community. Specifically, how leaders effectively support and enact relationship-based initiatives for preservice teachers. This research explores the leadership strategies of a group of high school leaders—leaders from a large metropolitan Prep-Year 12 College (Brisbane, Queensland) and Far North Queensland. Central to the leadership partnerships is a preservice teacher RRR preparation program facilitated by a Brisbane College via their Teacher Enhancement Centre. In this paper, we report on the strengths of their program in establishing key connections. Implications are drawn in relation to how school leaders connect with other leaders, and preservice teachers through the program, and how these connections can support place-based experiences for preservice teachers while concurrently addressing the staffing needs of RRR schools.
When the School is the Community, and the Community is the School—Connectedness is Everything
Authors: Thorburn Kathryn , Ridley Catherine
Published: November 2024

In 2023, a small team undertook a series of interviews and yarns with staff, students and families at the remote community of Yiyili in the central Kimberley. The case study formed part of a much larger study which sought to understand why attendance rates in remote Aboriginal schools have fallen over recent years, to unpack a whole raft of factors that might explain this, and to also investigate strategies that seem to be encouraging remote kids to attend school. The Yiyili case study demonstrated that heightened connectedness of school and community results in a greater sense of stability and cultural safety for students, school staff and community members.  Such a blurring of lines between educational institution and community might not be possible in larger communities, but our study suggests that such institutional openness might prove crucial in cross-cultural circumstances such as remote Indigenous communities.
САНАЦИЯ КАК МЕРА, ПРИНИМАЕМАЯ ДЛЯ ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЯ БАНКРОТСТВА ЗАСТРОЙЩИКОВ
Authors: Ю.С. Скворцова , Д.В. Егорова
Published: November 2024

Несостоятельность застройщиков остается острой социально-экономической проблемой. Их санация в целях защиты прав граждан, вложивших свои средства в строительство, требует надлежащего правового регулирования, которое сегодня фактически отсутствует. Авторы статьи приходят к заключению, что санация, рассматриваемая в настоящем контексте, не имеет ни определенного правового статуса, ни формализованного механизма реализации. Стандартная практика дофинансирования, которая является единственным видом санации, применяемым в делах о банкротстве застройщика, по мнению авторов, также требует регламентации. Согласимся с тем, что в рассматриваемых отношениях проявляются социальный, экономический, правовой и даже политический аспект, что усложняет выработку однозначных решений. Таким образом, действующие механизмы, основанные на ведомственных актах, деловом обычае, административной и договорной практике, направлены на завершение строительства определенного объекта, тогда как превенция банкротства застройщика признается факультативной задачей, что расходится с общим пониманием санации в Федеральном законе «О несостоятельности (банкротстве)» от 26.10.2002 № 127-ФЗ. В такой ситуации востребованы специальные регламентированные меры санации по превенции банкротства застройщика.

The insolvency of developers remains an acute socio-economic problem, their rehabilitation in order to protect the rights of citizens who have invested their funds in construction requires proper legal regulation, which is currently virtually absent. The authors conclude that the rehabilitation considered in this context has neither a specific legal status nor a formalized implementation mechanism. The standard practice of additional financing, which is essentially the only type of rehabilitation used in bankruptcy cases of a developer, according to the authors, also requires regulation. Social, economic, legal and even political aspects are manifested in the relations under consideration, which complicates the development of unambiguous solutions. It is concluded that the current mechanisms based on departmental acts, business custom, administrative and contractual practice are aimed at completing the construction of a certain facility, while preventing the bankruptcy of a developer is recognized as an optional task, which is at odds with the general understanding of rehabilitation in the bankruptcy law. In such a situation, special regulated rehabilitation measures are in demand to prevent the bankruptcy of the developer.
Multidisciplinaire aanpak van obesitas bij kinderen in de eerste lijn: hoe doe je dat en waar kan het mislopen?

Multidisciplinary approach to childhood obesity in primary care: how do you do it and where can it go wrong?

The prevalence of childhood obesity and the recently launched care pathway for children living with obesity in Belgium should prompt reflection on the role of the general practitioner (GP) in tackling childhood obesity. There is a need for research on the perspective of parents and multidisciplinary care providers in primary care concerning the facilitating and hindering factors of a constructively feasible multidisciplinary counselling program to treat obesity in children aged 2 to 17 years within primary care.

Data collection involved semi-structured interviews conducted through 5 separate focus groups (FGs). These included 2 FGs consisting of 8 parents, 2 FGs with 17 primary care providers from 1 GP region and 1 FG with 8 secondary care providers from 1 pediatric multidisciplinary obesity center (PMOC). The data were thematically analyzed following the COREQ method (consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative studies).

Caregivers and parents identified barriers and facilitating factors, and provided possible solutions on several themes. Not only organizational factors were cited, but also factors intrinsic or specific to the child and its environment. The importance of practical and communicative connections between care providers on the one hand and children and their environment on the other hand were emphasized. Finally, influencing social factors were also highlighted.

By addressing the identified facilitating and impeding factors, a multidisciplinary approach for children with obesity in primary care could be threshold-reducing and more efficient, both for GPs as well as for professional and supportive primary care providers and parents.

Die Phasen des Prozesses der Forschung, des Erwerbs, der Übertragung und der Rekonstruktion der Bestandteile des sächsischen Bauernhofs aus dem Dorf Jelna, Kreis Bistrița‑Năsăud, in der Freilichtabteilung des Ethnografischen Museums Siebenbürgens. Die Autoren präsentieren die Rekonstruktion – in der Freilichtabteilung des Ethnographischen Museums von Siebenbürgen – eines Bauernhofes im Dorf Jelna im sogenannten Nösnerland, dem Land der ehemaligen freien Sachsen im heutigen Kreis Bistrița‑Năsăud. Alle dem Museum übergebenen Bauten sind original, das Haus wurde mit einer Inschrift auf das Jahr 1789 datiert, der Schweinestall – auf den Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts, das Tor – auf das Jahr 1896, die Scheune – auf das Jahr 1913, der Brunnen – auf den Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Bauten wurden auf dem Museumsgrundstück entsprechend der Struktur des sächsischen Bauernhofes (sog. „fränkischer Hof“) angeordnet, wobei das Haus senkrecht zur Straße stand, der Schuppen in der Verlängerung des Hauses lag und mit diesem verbunden war Heuboden, Scheune und Stall, mit denen es einen rechten Winkel bildet. Das Inventar des Hauses (Möbel, Textilien, Keramik, Haushaltsgegenstände) und der Nebengebäude ist allesamt original und stammt aus den 1850er-1920er Jahren. Der Jelna‑Bauernhof wurde 2005 in die Besichtigungsrunde der Freilichtabteilung des Ethnographischen Museums von Siebenbürgen aufgenommen, seine Wiederherstellung als Ensemble sächsischer Volksarchitektur wurde jedoch durch die gemeinsame Anstrengung mehrerer Generationen von Museografen ermöglicht. Basierend auf gründlicher Feldforschung, einer strengen Auswahl von Artefakten und einem Ansatz, der stets auf dem Respekt vor Feld- und bibliografischen Informationen basiert, repräsentiert dieses Ensemble wahrheitsgetreu die Kultur der Sachsen aus Bistrita im Nösnerland in der Zeit zwischen dem Ende des 18. Jahrhundert und erstes Viertel des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Povești de viață și fabulate din arealul satului Mărișel
Authors:   Facultatea de Teatru și Film, UBB Cluj, Miron Mirela
Published: November 2024

Life stories, fables and narrative songs or carols recorded in Mărișel village, Cluj county, are knitted through the yarns of fictional mechanisms. When it comes to narrations articulated into an informal system of folk mythology, in which the interviewed respondents conjure events with supernatural beings (Saint Friday, the forest lady, wolves’ stir, ogres or poltergeists) which happened to them or which were told by other people, I preferred instead of a morphological classification, or a genre theory (fairytale, legend, myths or short stories), a classification based on theories of fiction. Life stories and fables from the region of Mărișel village, form a spoken historical radiography of rural sub‑zones of the named region, made of our respondents’ perspective. The two epic components that fall under analysis are autobiographical stories (from within a certain area) and mythological‑fictional stories (articulated in a prolix system of folk mythology). Without holding the claim of composing a unified theory on fairytale and myths origin, Bogdan Neagota, the anthropological scholar, presents, as an assumption, the concept of fictional, not historical anteriority of mental records about myth or fairytale, in regards to three levels of fiction, mental records of 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree. Therefore, mental records appear as a main epic genre which, in different cultural contexts, being subjected to isomorphical processes of fictional alteration and formalisation, suffer a series of successive changes, becoming legend, fairytale or myth. It moves from the position of experiential object into fictional object, just as Toma Pavel notes, or ideally, as Culianu claims, it completely transforms its fictional condition. From this perspective, we can deduce the possible hypothesis that some myths or fairytales refer to the experience of reality with fundamental value.
Hyperpigmented macules surrounded by hypopigmented rim in a case of lepromatous leprosy
Authors: Mushtaq Sabha
Published: November 2024

Introduction: leprosy is a chronic infectious mycobacterial disease caused by M. leprae. It primarily involves the skin and nerves, presenting with skin lesions and nerve enlargement. The skin lesions vary from hypopigmented, anesthetic macules/plaques to erythematous papules, plaques, and nodules, depending upon the type of leprosy.Hyperpigmented lesions in leprosy are rarely reported. Although hypopigmented lesions are commonly seen, perilesional hypopigmentation is a rare occurrence in leprosy. Perilesional hypopigmentation is seen as Woronoff’s ring around resolving lesions of psoriasis. A similar phenomenon called the halo phenomenon is associated with various skin tumors. Case Presentation: we describe a rare presentation of a leprosy case presenting with hyperpigmented lesions surrounded by a perilesional hypopigmented rim.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To determine the age and gender distribution of various anatomical positions of the appendix in patients underwent appendectomy.
Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done at Farooq Teaching Hospital and Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital, Islamabad , over a two years period from March 2021 to March 2022, involving 350 appendectomy patients. The anatomical location of appendix was analyzed in patients underwent appendectomy across various age groups and genders. The appendix length was measured from its base to tip using a nylon thread. The length of thread was measured using a vernier caliper. The appendix external diameter was measured at its widest point using vernier caliper.
Results: The patient’s average age was 36.6 years, with 58% males and 42% females. There were more males than females in the study. The appendix anatomical positions were observed as follows: retrocecal was most common, found in 50% of cases, followed by pelvic in 26%, retroileal in 10%, subcecal in 7.4%, paracecal in 6%, and subhepatic in 0.6% of cases. The highest incidence was observed in 21 to 40 years age group (56.6%). The association was observed significantly among appendix length and various age groups. The mean appendix length was 58 mm in males and 52 mm in females. The mean appendix external diameter was 75 mm in males and 69 mm in females.
Conclusion: The retrocecal position was the most frequently observed location in this study. Given that appendix is the organ in the abdomen with the greatest variability, these findings are valuable for surgeons’ performing appendectomy
La dramaturgia escénica como creación rítmico-musical en el espectáculo Kiss &Cry
Authors: Alicia Bernal Molina
Published: November 2024

El artículo se centra en analizar el espectáculo Kiss & Cry de los creadores Jaco Van Dormael y Michèle Anne De Mey de la compañía belga Charleroi Danzses, en el cual se mezcla cine, danza y teatro. Analizaremos la construcción dramática de este espectáculo atendiendo a la insólita figura del director musical escénico que se encarga de crear el ritmo propio del espectáculo, en este caso de los movimientos de la cámara, de los actores, de la introducción de los efectos musicales, en definitiva, de todo el aparato escénico. Revisaremos por tanto la figura del director haciendo una analogía con la labor del director musical. Y, por último, recontextualizaremos la función de la dramaturgia según lo que actualmente denominamos Artes vivas, profundizando en aspectos relevantes que definen este tipo de teatro ligado a lenguajes no textuales.  Como consecuencia de lo anterior, nuestro trabajo pretende dar visibilidad a un tipo de propuestas artísticas contemporáneas que no tienen cabida en la clasificación por géneros tradicionales del teatro y que, por tanto y hasta ahora, son propuestas que deben de encontrar su sitio en la Academia.

Современная практика служения униатской литургии в Белорусской Греко-Католической Церкви по Служебнику священника Александра Надсона.
Authors: Л.Л. Сенченко
Published: November 2024

В этой статье рассматривается современный чин литургии по униатскому «Службоўніку», изданному в 2004 г. в Минске. Современный униатский Служебник был переведен на белорусский язык священником Александром Надсоном. Современный униатский Служебник, использующийся в Белорусской Греко-Католической Церкви сохраняет в себе священнодействия свойственные византийской обрядности. «Службоўнік» XXI в. своим чинопоследованием заметно отличается от древних униатских Служебников XVI – XVIII вв., но является верным католическому обряду, что легко увидеть в чинопоследованиях проскомидии, литургии оглашенных, литургии верных. Лишь только пробный (1617 г.) и современный (2004 г.) Служебники Униатской Церкви не содержат в себе приставку «Filioque», что говорит об их намеренном приближении к православному богослужению. Современный «Службоўнік» 2004 г. специально придает униатской литургии белорусский колорит, вспоминая за проскомидией отечественных святых: Кирилла Туровского, Мартина Туровского, Евфросинии Полоцкой, при этом в месяцеслове хранит память об архиепископе Полоцком Иосафате (Кунцевиче), как священномученике. Необходимо сказать, что произошедшая трансформация униатской литургии на белорусских землях ясно дает понятие о намерении со стороны Римо-Католической Церкви ополячить белорусскую нацию.

This article discusses the modern order of a liturgy in the Uniate “Sluzhboŭník” (Sevice Book), published in 2004. The modern Uniate Service Book was translated into Belarusian by priest Alexander Nadson. The modern Uniate Service Book used in the Belarusian Greek Catholic Church retains in itself the sacred rites of the Byzantine rituals. “Sluzhboŭník” of the XXI century is markedly different from the ancient Uniate service books of the 16th - 18th centuries in its rites, but is faithful to the Catholic rite, which is easily distinguished in the ceremonies of the proskomide, the liturgy of the chatechumens and the liturgy of the faithful. Only a trial Uniate service book (1617) and a modern one (2004) do not contain the Filioque addition, which indicates their intentional approach to the Orthodox worship. The modern “Sluzhboŭník” of 2004 specifically gives the Uniate liturgy a Belarusian flavor, recalling at the Proskomidia the domestic saints - Cyril of Turov, Martin of Turov, Euphrosyne of Polotsk, while keeping a blessed memory of archbishop of Polotsk Iosafat (Kuntsevich) as a holy martyr in the menology. One must say that the transformation of the Uniate liturgy on the Belarusian lands clearly gives an idea of the Roman Catholic Church intention to “Polish” the Belarusian nation.

Ф.М. ДОСТОЕВСКИЙ В РОССИЙСКОМ ТЕАТРЕ НА РУБЕЖЕ XX-XXI вв.
Authors: Н.Н. Гашева
Published: November 2024

Аннотация. В статье рассматриваются новые художественные интерпретации творчества Ф.М. Достоевского в современном российском театре. Цель статьи показать, как, в ситуации антропологического кризиса культуры рубежа XX-XXI вв., характеризуемой в социологии как «общество спектакля», Ф. Достоевский, с его православной философской картиной мира, художественным диалогизмом, полифонией и карнавальностью, закономерно востребован в режиссерском, постмодернистском и постдраматическом театре, чутко и не однозначно реагирующем, на нравственные, «вызовы» жизни, истории, экзистенциальные вопрошания отчаявшегося человека. В статье исследуется герменевтическая актуальность искусства театра для рубежа XX-XXI вв. как открытой системы отношений сцены и публики, рассмотрены экспериментальные формы контактов современной сцены и зрительного зала. На материале выборочного сравнительного анализа знаковых фрагментов спектаклей ведущих российских режиссеров рубежа XX-XXI вв. («Преступление и наказание» Ю. Любимова, К. Гинкаса, С. Федотова, Л. Эренбурга, К. Богомолова; «Идиот» Р. Симонова, М. Диденко, С. Федотова, К. Богомолова; «Бесы» Ю. Любимова, А. Вайды, К. Богомолова; «Братья Карамазовы» Ю. Любимова, Л. Додина, К. Богомолова; «Подросток» Ю. Любимова, Л. Додина и др.), делается вывод об актуализации визуального начала в художественных стратегиях современного театра, акцентации перформативности сценического действия, провоцирующего зрителей к активному эмоциональному и духовно-нравственному «включению» в сложный процесс со-творчества, структурирования новых смыслов «текста» спектакля, тенденции к деконструкции и перемонтированию сценического хронотопа, динамизации темпоритмической структуры сценического действия, концентрации и синтеза визуальных и аудио- метафоры и символа, позволяющих театру, обнаружить живую связь философско-религиозной проблематики Достоевского с современностью.

Authors: Н.Л. Пономарев
Published: November 2024

В работе представлена попытка рассмотреть взгляды священника Павла Флоренского на двуединую природу человека в качестве обоснования занятий физкультурно-спортивной деятельностью как необходимой заботы о теле человека. Антропологическая концепция П. Флоренского позволяет принять мысль о совершенствовании тела средствами физкультурно-спортивной деятельности как вектор духовного возрастания человека.

The paper presents an attempt to consider the views of priest Pavel Florensky on the dual nature of man as a justification for the physical culture and sports activities as a necessary care for a human body. P. Florensky's anthropological concept allows us to accept the idea of improving one’s body by means of the physical culture and sports activities as a vector of a person’s spiritual growth.

Автор приходит к выводу, что методы светской педагогики применимы в православной дидактике и имеют специфические и свойственные только ей черты. Сопоставляя данные дореволюционных и современных воскресных школ, автор выводит специфические черты и направленность воспитательного процесса, уточняя их на основе нормативных актов Русской Православной Церкви и существующей на приходах практике приходского просвещения. В итоге отмечается актуальность проведения дальнейших исследований в области формирования духовно и нравственно развитой личности воспитанника в контексте сохранения традиционных для России духовно-нравственных ценностей.
