Purpose. The word ‘pandemic’ reminds us of the disaster it has created in the world. The present paper aims to explore the gender-based difference in happiness levels among students of Indian higher education institutions (HEIs) during the pandemic. The study elaborates on the skill to remain happy by providing a happiness model useful in curriculum modification in HEIs for better learning of students. Design/ methodology. A self-constructed questionnaire was used to collect data from 642 respondents through purposive sampling. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Such statistical methods as independent t-test, multiple regression, and AMOS were employed for structural equation modelling. Findings. The statistical results showed no significant difference in the levels of happiness between the male and female students. Physical, psychological, social, and financial factors and semester stress were found to contribute to the happiness of students, and gender had a significant impact on physical, financial, and semester stress. Finally, a happiness model was developed. Originality. This research presents a model with five major contributing factors to happiness during the pandemic for students in Indian HEIs. The impact of gender on overall happiness and its contributing factors were also studied. Research limitation. The study should be expanded in terms of data collection, reaching more regions of India and outside to generalise the results. Practical implication. The outcomes that emerged from the study can be incorporated into the curriculum to prioritise happiness and improve students’ learning. Social Implication. A modified curriculum will help students to remain happy which automatically increases learning.

Published: December 2022

In Slovakia, various initiatives aimed at supporting technical or polytechnic education at lower secondary schools (ISCED 2) were carried out. Despite the efforts made, these initiatives did not have a positive effect on increasing the interest of pupils in studying at technical vocational schools (ISCED 3). The curriculum plays a significant role in this. The Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sports of the Slovak Republic is currently preparing a curriculum reform plan for primary and secondary levels of education (ISCED 1-3). The paper presents the results of a survey focused on assessing the curricular content of the school subject technology from pupils’ point of view. The research survey was carried out with a sample of 101 pupils. To collect research data, a questionnaire was used. The key items of the questionnaire were focused on finding out pupils’ favourite subjects, favourite topics or activities, the impact of teaching technology on pupils’ professional orientation, and their expectations in connection with technically-oriented subjects taught at secondary schools. It has been found out that pupils’ attitudes to the school subject technology is significantly negative. However, this statement has to be considered not only in relation to the content of the subject but also in relation to the way in which the subject is taught at schools. The pupils express an interest in practical activities during which they can produce various objects or products. When the pupils were asked to evaluate the subject using a traditional classification scale 1 (excellent) – 5 (fail/insufficient), only four pupils rated technology with the grade 1, while up to 11 pupils evaluated the discipline by the grade 5. The final (average) grade of the subject was 3.

This article analyzes the findings of the study aimed at determining pedagogical conditions of arranging a class in teaching that would contribute to developing important professional motives, qualities, expertise, and skills in secondary school students, which are necessary to master and promote the occupation of a teacher. The issue under study is relevant due to the necessity for acquiring teaching staff. Analysis of foreign studies has shown that acquiring motivated, dedicated, and committed young people as teachers may be determined by the issue of global politics. It was found out that, both in Russia and globally, there is a necessity to create an environment for identifying, maintaining, and developing the background qualities of an efficient teacher for senior secondary school students. Analysis of networked action taken by the Secondary School No. 28 for the city of Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Oblast, and its social partners in order to arrange activities for the class in teaching is among the leading research methods. The following methods were used as well: analysis of student engagement, generalization of experience in working for educational institutions, monitoring of student development, questionnaires, focus groups, analysis of the student survey results, etc. The study reveals the pedagogical conditions and ways to arrange the class in teaching that would contribute to the conscious decision of students choosing the occupation of a teacher. Relatively low costs of organizing the pre-university training, low number of additional staff engaged, and growing social activity in students prove its efficiency. The conclusion is made regarding the efficiency of implementing a training program shaped as a class in teaching conducted in a networked environment, which would provide the opportunity to use the resources of various organizations taking into account students’ interests.

The aim of this study was to validate of the Russian version of the Child Behaviour Motivation Scale (CBeMO). The tool is designed to assess learning motivation in preschool and primary school children. Fifty-nine educators participated in the study and completed the CBeMO scales individually for each child in the older groups with whom they had worked for at least 4 months. The total sample consisted of 754 children aged 5-6 years. An internal consistency analysis of the scales indicated a high level of unidimensionality across all scales of the instrument (“Task Orientation”, “Task Avoidance”, and “Social Orientation”). Confirmatory analysis confirmed the consistency of the empirical data with the theoretical model of the questionnaire. The actual structure of the data obtained on the Russian sample, as determined by factor analysis, except for one item, is identical to the original configuration of the scales. Therefore, no additional procedures are required to improve the Russian version of the questionnaire and no measures of cultural adaptation are required for the further use of the Russian version of the questionnaire. In addition to the assessment of psychometric properties, an analysis was carried out to determine the role of age, gender, intelligence and language environment in children's learning motivation. The article presents the results of the analysis, suggestions for their interpretation, and promising directions for further research.

Published: December 2022

The method of “Object Exclusion” is often used to assess a person’s ability to generalize and forms part of the pathopsychological and neuropsychological examination of children and adults. Nevertheless, there is no definite consensus as to which ratio of responses, which would reflect different generalization levels, is considered normative for children of different ages. Published data on the neuropsychological validity of this technique is quite inconsistent. The results of the investigation of 482 tentatively healthy children aged between 52 and 215 months (119 ± 43), of whom 316 were boys and 166 were girls, provided the standards of various categories of responses for different ages. Cross-analysis with neuropsychological diagnosis results revealed that the test performance indicators have to do with cognitive development, but the proportion of explained variance is no greater than 10%. Moreover, the neuropsychological validity of the method varies for each age group. Collating the responses from various categories allows predicting no more than 7% of neurocognitive development variability.

Educational and Professional Choice of Working Youth in Service Industries
Authors:   Industrial University of Tyumen, Tyumen, Russia, Gavriliuk Vera
Published: December 2022

The relationship between education, profession and social status in the modern global world is not obvious. A high level of education does not guarantee a professional career. The discrepancy between professional education and occupation is especially acute in the field of customer service. On the one hand, it reduces the quality of services provided and, on the other hand, causes tension among workers of this industry. The aim of the research is to study educational values, the choice of an educational trajectory and professional self-determination of modern working-class youth in the service industry. The article is based on the materials of an empirical study using quantitative and qualitative sociological methods: a mass survey of working-class youth in the Ural Federal District and a biographical interview, the informants of which are employed in the real sector of the economy and the service sector. The contradictory attitude of young service workers to education was revealed: not seeing the connection between the level and quality of education and the characteristics of their own life, young people are confident in the value of education and maintain a respectful attitude towards educated people. The personal significance of education for the new generation of working-class youth is small; the social prestige of education does not in any way affect personal life plans, including the professional choice. The established relationships between the educational and professional choice of working-class youth - the basic layer of the social structure of any society - can be used to organize vocational guidance work in secondary school, and can be in demand by the state and regional authorities of vocational education.

Published: December 2022

The relevance of this research is due to significant changes in the labor market caused by the transformation of the modern world, when the demand for professionals who can study in a digital environment, as well as carry out cross-cultural communication and interaction with remote business partners, has sharply increased. This article identifies the main difficulties arising in the process of teaching intergroup dialogue and professionally-oriented interaction to non-linguistic students and also proposes new organizational and methodological approaches aimed at overcoming these difficulties. The aim of the research is to test the experimental methods of distance teaching of dialogic speech as a means of adaptation of non-linguistic students to intergroup communication in the digital environment. Such research methods as the experiment, observation, and the method of open and closed-ended questionnaires were used. The statistical significance of the obtained data was tested with the help of the student’s paired t-test and the Fisher test. The article describes the experimental distance teaching of communication in a virtual environment simulating professional intercultural interaction. The organizational and methodological approaches elaborated by the authors give an opportunity to form an educational foreign language environment, which trains non-linguistic students in intergroup communication with remote partners. The pedagogical tools tested in practice contribute to the effectiveness of teaching students with a low level of foreign language proficiency. The materials presented in the article allow us to create new technologies of foreign language distance teaching and will be in demand by specialists in the field of higher education pedagogies.

According to data of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, various forms of violations of human behavior are seen in the education and youth environment, including through immersion in destructive ideologies on the Internet. These data write down the need to study the factors affecting the psychological safety of the environment, especially the educational and youth environment (students and schoolchildren). In this regard, the purpose of the study is to identify the influence of social, psychological and organizational factors on the psychological safety of the educational environment. The study was conducted based on big data analysis of 164 schools. They include data from schools on the following indicators: “suicides”, “suicide attempts”, “crimes”, “psychological competencies of managers”, “staff turnover”, etc. The statistical method of big data analysis is the leading one in describing the results of the study. Factor analysis was used to describe a multidimensional model of psychological safety of the educational environment. A two-sample F-test was used to compare the sample populations. The results of the study allowed us to identify factors influencing the psychological safety of the educational environment: high turnover of teaching staff, lack of psychological competencies in the administration of educational organizations, the number of suicidal attempts, a large number of representations of the prosecutor's office, etc. The results of the study made it possible to form instructions to the executive authorities of the Republic of Tatarstan signed by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan – Chairman of the Anti-Terrorist Commission in the Republic of Tatarstan. The instructions are aimed at improving the effectiveness of the psychological service in education; the formation of psychological competencies of key managers responsible for the organization of psychological, social and educational activities; the inclusion in the job descriptions of key managers responsible for the organization of psychological, social and educational activities of new labor functions for the formation of psychological security of the educational environment, as well as the identification and support of students in need of socio-psychological support.

Rumors as a means of forming an information space in the occupied territory of Ukraine in 1941-1944
Authors: Salata Oksana , Ginetova Tetyana
Published: December 2022

The article examines the phenomenon of rumors, which played an important role in the formation of the information space in the territories occupied by the German army during the Second World War. The analysis of conditions in which rumors arose and functioned is carried out; the peculiarity of rumors created by Nazi and Soviet propaganda is determined; a comparison of their characteristics and impact on the population of the occupied territories of Ukraine in 1941-1943; specific examples show the regularity of the distribution of oral messages transmitted among the Ukrainian population. The general methodological and technical mechanisms of preparation and dissemination of rumors, training of specialists who disseminated them and analyzed the events caused by their influence are shown. It is shown that the German occupation authorities used rumors as weapons. In order to spread rumors and conduct active counter-propaganda, the German government began training psychologists who developed the necessary strategy for using rumors. Based on the analysis of archival materials and literature, it is shown that both sides and the Soviet and German leadership used rumors quite effectively as one of the mechanisms influencing the consciousness of the population of the occupied territories and directly involved in the formation of information space. In addition to word of mouth, the latest technical means, including radio broadcasting, were used to spread rumors. It is concluded that rumors are a serious weapon of any propaganda, in particular in the modern Russian-Ukrainian war. Without knowledge of the laws that determine the emergence and effect of rumors, it is impossible to fight them.
Peasant Question in the Demian Kochubey’s epistolar heritage of 1857–1858
Authors: Kovalov Yevhen
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the letters of 1857–1858 by Demian Kochubey (1786–1859), a high-ranking official in St. Petersburg, to his relative Hryhorii Galagan (1819–1888), a public figure, both of whom belonged to the top local nobility of Left-bank Ukraine. The main theme of these important epistolary texts is the preparation for the abolition of serfdom. This example demonstrates the significant information potential of epistolary materials for the study of emancipatory projects. In particular, from this source we learn about the ideological and moral preconditions of Emancipation reform, from French liberal political economy to Christian humanism, and see the breadth of specific problems facing supporters of peasant emancipation, such as the financial possibilities of the state to ensure the redemption of landed estates for peasants, the principles of peasant land tenure in the post-reform period, the establishment of positive interaction between landlords and peasants after their emancipation for the economic prosperity and avoidance of social conflicts. It is argued that relying on epistolary materials will contribute to the cultural and anthropological understanding of the «emancipation projects» of Ukrainian public figures in the mid-nineteenth century. The need to continue the publication of epistolary materials for further in-depth study of the preparation and implementation of the Emancipation reform was emphasized.

Authors: Nazymok Uliana
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the significance of the activity of the Ukrainian Republican Chapel in Czechoslovakia and the consequences of the cultural diplomacy of the Ukrainian People's Republic during the National Liberation Struggle of the Ukrainian People in 1917-1921. Using the example of the Czech period of the Chapel's concert tour, It is demonstrated how the European tour of the choristers led by Oleksandr Koshyts influenced the perception of the Ukrainian people by Europeans by the example of the Czech period of the Chapel's concert tour. The concerts of the Ukrainian Republican Chapel in the cities of Czechoslovakia had a great success, as evidenced by numerous reviews in the local press, memories of the choristers and their leader, and scientific researches on this topic. The experience of the Chapel's concert activity in Czechoslovakia is an example of successful cultural diplomacy and proof the influence of culture on the political sphere of society. The purpose of this work is to study the activities of the Ukrainian Republican Chapel in Czechoslovakia, its importance and influence on the attitude of Czechs to Ukrainians in the context of cultural diplomacy of the Ukrainian People's Republic. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: historical, comparative, source analysis and synthesis. The chronological framework of this study covers the Czech period of the Kapela's European tour, in particular 1919-1920. The novelty of the study consists of a detailed study of the activities of the Chapel in one country of the European tour. The focus of the author's attention is not the events, but their meaning and consequences. The prospect of further research on this topic is due to the rapid growth of interest of Ukrainians and the world community in the history and culture of Ukraine. In the conditions of the new Russian-Ukrainian war, the struggle of the Ukrainian people inspires the world. Cultural diplomacy was one of the aspects of the struggle of Ukrainians against Russian domination, so its research is again relevant today.
One of the “Big Ones”: The Reform of Rural Self-government in Russia as a Pan-Empire Project (1861-1900s)
Authors: Verkhovtseva Iryna
Published: December 2022

Given the need to prove the artificiality of the "historical heritage of Russia", the bloody basis of which was revealed during the full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the processes of empire building in the Russian Empire, in particular, the reforms of rural self-government in the period 1861-1900s, are analyzed. Study methods became, in addition to general scientific, special-historical (historical-chronological, historical-genetic, historical-typological, etc.). This contributed to the understanding of the subject of study in the organic interrelationship of the general and the private, taking into account their real context, to the clarification of the typology of rural reforms and peasant performances of the beginning of the 20th century. It is summarized that as a result of the reformation, the institute of rural self-government was established in all regions and the corresponding Great Reform 1861-1900s was implemented. Designed to modernize the country, it was controversial and unfinished, like other Great Reforms. Traditionality was preserved in the imperial village. The self-governing practices of the Russian peace (Great Russian communes) with their collective responsibility of communities for each member in paying taxes and fulfilling natural duties have spread to all regions. In view of the vast expanses of the country, the lack of necessary resources, the ethnic and socio-cultural diversity of the rural population, the underdeveloped ideological base of reformism, the authorities failed to implement the necessary infrastructure support for this reform. At the beginning of the 20th century, not having sufficient powers to manage local resources, while implementing the task of empire-building, the state rudely interfered in the self-governing activities of communities, which exacerbated the economic crisis and significantly worsened the condition of the peasants. Since self-government contributed to their self-organization, the village opposed the empire with practically a united front, revolutionizsng it. This, among other things, was caused by the controversial implementation of the Great Reform of 1861–1900.
Mykhailo Bernov as a Pioneer of Hiking Tourism: Travels Through the South of Ukraine and the Ukraine and the Crimea (Part I. South of Ukraine. August, 1895)
Authors: Andryeyev Vitaliy , Andryeyeva Svitlana , Kariaka Oleksandr
Published: December 2022

This article examines the activities of Mykhailo Bernov as one of the founders of hiking tourism in the Russian Empire and Europe, his travels through Southern Ukraine, and then through the Crimea in the summer of 1895, the public updating of knowledge about the region and publishing activity. In the first part of this research, M. Bernov's travel route is reconstructed based on his travel notes «From Odessa on foot to Crimea. Letters of a Russian Pedestrian» (St. Petersburg, 1896) and his impressions of his journey through Southern Ukraine are detailed.

The source research potential of notes is analyzed. It was concluded that M. Bernov created a wide and colorful picture of the life of the polyethnic population of the region at the end of the 19th century, recorded the peculiarities of their national culture and character, prospects for economic development and social inequality of different strata of the population.

The main focus of M. Bernov's attention is concentrated on a person and his everyday, living observation sometimes leads to dispelling stereotypes about certain ethnic groups. He also communicated with ordinary people, but he tried to meet with the local administration, officials, military personnel, famous persons, and scientists. M. Bernov left interesting descriptions of visits to the estates of the wealthiest landowning families of Southern Ukraine – the Skadovskys and the Falz-Feyns. Among other things, the traveler notes the Ukrainian (including Cossack) component in the culture, history and population of the region. In general, M. Bernov is characterized by an imperial style of thinking, the use of derogatory names of ethnic groups and territories, which was common in the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th century.

The traveler often compares the natural beauty of Southern Ukraine with the landscapes of various parts of Europe, North Africa and other («Russian») provinces. He also wanted to see local monuments of architecture, history, archeology, art, museums, theaters.

In general, the traveler considered the South of Ukraine to be an unattractive region for tourists due to the summer heat, dust, undeveloped infrastructure, etc.
Captain of the Army of the Ukrainian People's Republic Dmytro Kotko: a sketch of life and activities in Poland, 1921-1924 (until the 130th anniversary of his birth)
Authors: Sribniak Igor , Paliienko Maryna
Published: December 2022

The article attempts to characterize the organizational and conducting activity of centurion Dmytro Kotka in the camps of interned troops of the Ukrainian People's Republic in Poland in the first half of the 1920s, as well as during the tours of the choir created by him in Polish cities. His speeches served as an effective means of combating despair and disappointment, which permeated the environment of the interned Ukrainian military. The same purpose was served by the celebration of national holidays (and Shevchenko days in particular), as well as «concert-parties», which were traditionally attended by D. Kotka's choir – singing the national anthem and artistic performance of folk songs.

The choir very soon outgrew the narrow confines of the camps, becoming a real cultural phenomenon in Poznan, and later in other Polish regions. This was of great importance, because thanks to this, a significant number of Poles got the opportunity to discover the Ukrainian world and learn about its musical and choral culture. Performing in Polish cities, the choir successfully performed the role of a representative of the Ukrainian People's Republic and a promoter of Polish-Ukrainian interethnic rapprochement.

The creation and further functioning of the choir became possible exclusively thanks to the efforts of its leader and conductor – D. Kotka, who carried his passion for Ukrainian song throughout his entire life. He had an undeniable talent as an organizer and a rare artistic talent, having managed to reveal the natural abilities of choristers to the maximum extent. That is why every performance of the choir under the direction of D. Kotka became a real artistic celebration regardless of who went to his concerts to get to know the real Ukrainian choral art.
Impact of Gibberellic Acid and Naphthalene Acetic Acid on Axillary Shoot Multiplication in Hygrophila polysperma (Roxb.) T. Anderson
Authors: DOĞAN Muhammet
Published: December 2022

In this work, axillary shoot regenerations were investigated from nodal explants of Hygrophila polysperma (Roxb.) T. Anderson in MS medium (Murashige and Skoog) including different combinations of Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA). Nodal explants of H. polysperma were used in propagation studies. The 100% regeneration frequency was determined in MS plus 0.25 and 0.50 mg/L GA3 + 0.15 mg/L NAA. When the shoot numbers were examined, the best nutrient medium was determined as 0.25 mg/L GA3 + 0.15 mg/L NAA (14.72 shoots/explant). The best result in shoot length was reached in MS plus 0.50 mg/L GA3 + 0.15 mg/L NAA (1.91 cm). Then the longest shoot was determined as 1.79 cm in nutrient media plus 0.25 mg/L GA3 + 0.15 mg/L NAA. Longer shoots were obtained in GA3+NAA nutrient media according to control. When the results were examined, it was determined that the number and length of shoots decreased as the amount of GA3+NAA used in the culture medium increased. Regenerated shoots were rooted in MS media including 0.25 mg/L Indole-3-Acetic Acid and successfully acclimatized to aquarium conditions. As a result, multiple and rapid productions of H. polysperma under tissue culture conditions were achieved.

Published: December 2022

The introduction of IT resources and the current situation in society and the state involves making certain adjustments to the educational process. The article deals with the issues of mixed education at the present stage. If before the pandemic, the use of IT resources in Russian education was within the framework of fashion trends or innovative developments, then lockdown showed that this toolkit allows us to save the educational process in emergency situations. The results of the study of modern conditions of the educational process and the introduction of IT resources into it, the introduction of certain adjustments and the construction of modern models of mixed education are presented. The strengths and weaknesses of the mixed training format are presented. The strengths of the training include: the development of information and communication channels between students and the teacher; the development of individual routes for monitoring student learning activities; the possibility of integrating traditional and mixed education; the use of a pointrating system as a differentiated scale of the knowledge system, etc. Weaknesses can be considered: insufficient amount of time for communication between the teacher and students; the ability to assess knowledge and insufficient ability to assess skills; difficulty in assessing the analysis of logical thinking of the student, the course of his reasoning; the presence of low motivation to study in a number of students. The article also examines the factors that have a significant negative impact in Russian reality on the development and effectiveness of the use of mixed education and the most commonly used models of mixed education in Russia (“Rotation” and “Personal choice”)
ACTUALIZATION OF VALUES IN YOUTH IN TRANSITIVITY OPTICS
Authors:   Psychological Institute of Russian Academy of Education, Grebennikova Olga V. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the study of value orientations among youth in transitivity optics. The results of an empirical study (n=100) showed that in a situation of transitivity, the majority of representatives of youth distinguish love and a financially secure life as significant basic values that act as universal moral standards. Education is considered as the leading instrumental value for most boys and girls. In a situation of uncertainty, education mediates their beliefs, abilities, skills and behavioral manifestations. For the majority of youth, entertainment, sensitivity and high demands are insignificant value orientations. In the context of our empirical research, the absence of significant differences by gender may indicate the actualization of value orientations in a situation of uncertainty among youth only by age.

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Bakhadova Elena V. , Makarova Alena M. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: December 2022

The study of psychological and personal characteristics of younger schoolchildren with a tendency to deviant behavior is discussed in the article. Most often, deviations are manifested by teenage children, therefore, younger schoolchildren rarely come into the field of view of researchers, but the prerequisites for social maladaptation and deviant behavior can be observed already in pre-adolescence, and therefore it is important to identify such features at an early stage and offer corrective measures. The study involved 62 junior schoolchildren, representatives of the fourth grades of Moscow schools. It was important to clarify the relationship between the level of aggression, anxiety, the level of emotional intelligence and assertiveness of behavior in younger schoolchildren with deviant behavior. As a result of the study, significant differences were found between the characteristics of students with and without deviant behavior. Younger schoolchildren with deviant behavior showed such features as: anxiety, a tendency to lie, irritability and the desire for selfdamaging actions, a tendency to aggressive, dependent and delinquent behavior. They often feel guilty, show suspicion, resentment and negativism, have lower emotional intelligence and a low, but close indicator of the level of assertiveness of behavior towards schoolchildren without deviations in behavior.

This study aims to research of people’s behavior strategies in a pandemic situation. A sample of the study consists of immunological clinic` patients. Method: Study (N=62) attended by respondents aged 19 to 76 years (M=35; SD=14.89), 50% are vaccinated against COVID-19, and 50% wanted to get a medical exemption from vaccination. We used the author’s questionnaire with scaled answers about coronavirus awareness, vaccination and immunity, Budner’s Scale of Tolerance – Intolerance of Ambiguity, the questionnaire “Locus of disease control” (Tkhostov&Bevz, 1998). Results: no statistically significant differences were found between vaccinated and unvaccinated in terms of tolerance to uncertainty. The internal locus of disease control prevails in the sample, but the group of vaccinated was statistically significantly more likely to shift responsibility to others. Vaccinated and non-vaccinated participants differed in their perceptions of COVID-19 and strategies of behavior in a pandemic situation. The first are inclined to more radical (medical) ways of preventing infection and rely more on the opinions of other people; the second hope for the ability of their immunity to resist infection. Conclusions: the decision to vaccinate against COVID-19 is related to perceptions of a pandemic, but is not related to the level of tolerance to uncertainty and the locus of disease control.

Retranslation Hypothesis Revisited for The Jungle Book: Time versus Context in Retranslation
Authors: BAYRAKTAR ÖZER Özge
Published: December 2022

Rudyard Kipling was first introduced to Turkish literature with the Turkish translation of his children’s literature work titled The Jungle Book in 1936, which was followed by a good number of retranslations up until today. This study aims to test the main assumptions of the retranslation theory with five different Turkish translations of The Jungle Book. The retranslations were compared with each other, along with the first translation in terms of text-bound and culture-specific items, as well as the historical and contextual background in which the translations were produced. To this end, the study can be divided into two main parts as regards the method adopted. In the first part, a diachronic analysis was conducted with a specific focus on the socio-contextual conditions of the translation periods. In the second part of the study, a synchronic analysis was made to re-test the hypothesis. Based on the comparative examples provided, it was found that there was no linear progression to a more target-oriented approach among the first and retranslations as asserted in the retranslation hypothesis. Instead, contextual factors of the time when the translation was produced and published were found to be more determinant in the translation choices of the translators. The selection of case studies also seems to affect the approval or refusal of the hypothesis in the literature. In this sense, it is suggested to apply both synchronic and diachronic analysis to obtain more reliable findings on the concept and nature of retranslation.

Kauçuk esaslı ürünlerin imalatında kullanılan katkı malzemeleri; zamana, maruz kaldığı fiziksel ve kimyasal etkilere bağlı olarak üründen kısmen ayrılmaktadırlar. Ortamdan ayrılan bu katkı malzemeleri imal edilen mamulün performansını ve uzun sürede kullanım ömrünü azaltmaktadır. Bu çalışmada aktif ZnO ile normal ZnO kullanılarak üretilen kauçuk malzemelerin maliyet –performans özellikleri incelenmiştir. Bulgular daha yüksek yüzey alanına sahip aktif ZnO tercihiyle, mekanik testlerde %20, toplam mamul ağırlığında %5 ve maliyette %2’e varan bir farklılık hesaplanmıştır.
