Religious Ferment among the Indians of British Guiana at the Turn of the 19th Century
Authors: Posern-Zieliński Aleksander
Published: December 2020

This article is a the historical overview of local socio-religious syncretic movements in Guiana. Both protestant Christianization and the complex colonization process that resulted in Dutch and British presence were crucial to the emergence of these new ideas. First syncretic beliefs linked the figure of Christ with a local mythical being called Makunaima. This kind of belief appears to start in 1840's with the Awakaipu, a native man who was able to gather some followers. By the end of the 19th Century roots of a new religious movement, named the Hallelujah, started to develop independently.

Arquitectura defensiva de la cultura Pueblo en los cañones de la región Mesa Verde, Colorado, EE.UU.
Authors: Palonka Radosław
Published: December 2020

La cultura Pueblo se desarrolló el suroeste de Norteamérica sin interrupción durante casi tres mil años, experimentando un serie de cambios y transformaciones culturales y sociales. Dichos cambios se mani-fi estan principalmente en las formas de asentamiento y arquitectura diferenciadoras de otras culturas indígenas de Norteamérica. Desde el siglo VII d.C. aproximadamente las comunidades de la cultura Pueblo erigen edifi cios de varios pisos, de materiales como adobe, piedra arenisca y madera. A diferencia de las culturas de cazadores-recolectores la cultura Pueblo se caracteriza por su asentamiento permanente y su avanzada agricultura.El siglo XIII d.C. trae una transformación de las formas de asentamiento de los Pueblo en la región Mesa Verde. Los asentamientos empiezan a trasladarse de zonas planas y abiertas a los bordes y las laderas de los cañones, o incluso a nichos y refugios rocosos de difícil acceso en las empinadas laderas de los cañones. En las rocas crecen asentamientos y ciudades, a menudo rodeados de muros de piedra y difíciles de ac-ceder; al mismo tiempo empiezan a construirse torres de piedra y túneles subterráneos. Todo ello surgía probablemente de consideraciones defensivas, relacionadas con el deterioro de las condiciones ambienta-les y climáticas, así como con el aumento de confl ictos y peleas, tanto dentro de la cultura misma, como probablemente con atacantes de otras tribus.Uno de los complejos de asentamientos Pueblo del siglo XIII, ubicado en Sand Canyon, Rock Creek Ca-nyon y Graveyard Canyon en la región de Mesa Verde, en Colorado, lleva investigándose desde el año 2011, en el marco del Proyecto Arqueológico Sand Canyon-Castle Rock. Este proyecto arqueológico polaco centra su investigación en la reconstrucción del sistema de asentamientos y en el análisis de la arquitectu-ra defensiva de varias docenas de asentamientos pequeños y un gran asentamiento central (Castle Rock Pueblo). Recientemente las actividades del proyecto abarcan también la documentación y el análisis de los murales y los ejemplos del arte rupestre conservados en los sitios examinados.

Lose one's life and lose one's job with singular they: two constructions, two regional varieties, many practical aspects of working with mega-corpora
Authors: Rudnicka Karolina
Published: December 2020

The paper compares the usage of singular they with two morphologically similar constructions in British and American English. The constructions in question are lose one’s life and lose one’s job. The results obtained suggest that singular they, at least used with the two constructions in focus of this work, seems to be more widely used in the American variety of English than in the British variety. An additional aim of this work is to present and discuss some practical aspects of working with mega-corpora. The work shows how and where quantitative language studies need to be accompanied by manual and qualitative investigations. The corpora used in this work are the British National Corpus (BNC) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA).
A Question of Identity in the Life and Works of Sat-Okh (Long Feather)
Authors: Leszman Milena
Published: January 2021

Sat-Okh (Stanisław Supłatowicz) was an Indian-Polish writer who popularised the culture of North American Indigenous People in Poland during the Cold War and afterwards. His incredible biography evokes questions about the nature of his identity. Born of an Indian chief and a Polish mother around 1922 in the territory of Alberta, Sat-Okh grew up as a Shawnee. When his mother decided to return to Poland, he followed, but until his death in Gdańsk in 2003, Sat-Okh consistently identified with his Indigenous heritage. During WWII he escaped from a train to Auschwitz and joined the AK (The Home Army). He became famous for numerous books and short stories about his life with the Indians, which were translated into many languages. He was also strongly involved in the Polish-Indian Movement and promoted the culture of his native ancestors. This paper aims to present the life and work of Sat-Okh with regard to his mysterious identity. Recently, there has been some doubt whether Sat-Okh's biography is genuine. However, I would like to argue that Long Feather's phenomenon proves the fact that regardless of whether he was a true Shawnee or not, Sat-Okh chose to identify himself as Indian and consistently presented himself as one. He taught Poles about Indian traditions and gained a tremendous respect which has lasted until today.
TRANSFORMING SOUTH AFRICA’S UNIVERSITIES OF TECHNOLOGY: A ROADMAP THROUGH 4IR LENSES
Authors: Masinde Muthoni , Soux Peter
Published: December 2020

Since their birth in the 6th century, universities have undergone different forms of transformations, especially of structural, ideological, and epistemological nature. Recently, the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) has triggered a wave of such transformations and just like other industrial revolutions, university management ought to be cautious as such transformations could exacerbate existing inequalities between the rich and the poor students. To this end, a clear roadmap for such a transformation becomes critical. This is the contribution of this paper. We achieve this through a bibliometric analysis of the state of scientific research into the ‘university transformation’ topic, with a special focus on South Africa’s (RSA) context. The content of the identified scientific publications on RSA was further subjected to thematic analysis leading to the revelation that decolonisation, community engagement and structural transformation, are the main research themes. It also emerges that RSA universities have not embraced 4IR as a lens through which to pursue transformation. On the other hand, the RSA government launched the project: “Transformation at Public Universities” during the 2017/18 planning year. Subsequently, all universities in the country adopted and rolled out a customised transformation agenda. Among these universities, are the six universities of technology (UoTs), which, for historical reasons, the transformation project presents unique challenges and opportunities. Created slightly after the millennium, UoTs are still seen as critical role players in the third mission of universities, that of “achieving economic growth and social progress”. These findings, as wells as the existence of systemic exclusion, marginalisation, and discrimination (especially along racial lines) in RSA universities, defines our proposed roadmap. Using one of the UoTs and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) as the reference, the proposed university transformation roadmap is supported by empirical data on the assessment of the readiness of students to adopt 4IR technologies.
Przekształcenie relacji występujących w hasłach rozwiniętych i opisach przedmiotowych KABA do postaci powiązań w mapie tematów
Authors: Włodarczyk Bartłomiej
Published: December 2020

CEL/TEZA: Celem artykułu jest wskazanie możliwości i problemów transformacji wybranych haseł rozwiniętych KABA do postaci powiązań w mapie tematów opartej na JHP KABA. KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Na podstawie analizy dokumentacji opublikowanej na stronie Centrum NUKAT przeprowadzono ocenę możliwości wprowadzenia bardziej szczegółowej kategoryzacji jednostek leksykalnych języka KABA. Następnie analizując noty stosowania określników rzeczowych, wskazano na rodzaje konstrukcji występujących we wspomnianym języku oraz możliwości ich przekształcenia w powiązania w mapie tematów. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: W języku KABA, oprócz podziału tematów i określników zgodnego z etykietami pól formatu MARC 21 dokonano kategoryzacji określników w celu kontroli połączeń między jednostkami leksykalnymi w hasłach rozwiniętych. Dane na ten temat są zapisane w rekordach wzorcowych określników (pole 073). Brakuje ich jednak w rekordach wzorcowych tematów (pole 072), co uniemożliwia automatyczną kontrolę poprawności haseł. Pokazano, że ich uzupełnienie tylko w ograniczonym zakresie może być pomocne przy przekształcaniu języka do postaci mapy tematów. W przypadku niektórych jednostek identyfikujących argumenty relacji konieczne było zaproponowanie dodatkowych kategorii, które pozwoliły na zapis ograniczeń dotyczących powiązań. W artykule zaprezentowano przykłady przekształcenia wybranych haseł i opisów przedmiotowych. Kryterium doboru było występowanie w ich składzie określników rzeczowych reprezentujących relacje między przedmiotami. Podział całości zasobu leksykalnego KABA byłby dużo bardziej złożony i wymagałby utworzenia licznych ograniczeń. Zalecane byłoby przynajmniej częściowe zautomatyzowanie tej pracy. ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: W artykule zaprezentowano propozycję przekształcenia relacji występujących w hasłach rozwiniętych i w opisach przedmiotowych KABA w mapę tematów. Przedstawiona propozycja z jednej strony wypełnia w pewnym stopniu lukę, jaka istnieje w tym zakresie w literaturze z zakresu informatologii. Z drugiej strony jest ona głosem w dyskusji na temat przyszłości języków haseł przedmiotowych, w szczególności JHP KABA, pokazując rozwiązanie wpisujące się w nurt współczesnych projektów semantycznych. W związku z kompatybilnością języka KABA z językami RAMEAU i LCSH, rezultaty badań mogą być częściowo zastosowane odnośnie do tych narzędzi.

KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Analiza porównawcza modeli crowdsourcingu wykorzystywanych w humanistyce na podstawie analizy literatury akademickiej i istniejących projektów crowdsourcingowych.WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Próby modelowania crowdsourcingu nie prowadzą do wyodrębnienia jednego podejścia do e-współpracy i jednego modelu e-nauki. Nauki humanistyczne, które cechują specyficzne problemy i zasoby, mają do czynienia z różnorodnością kulturową i są wspierane przez właściwe im metody badawcze. Co więcej, standaryzacja opisu przedmiotów badań nauk humanistycznych oraz modelowanie ich praktyk badawczych nie zredukują ich różnorodności. potrzebne są dalsze badania w zakresie: praktyk uczenia się i sposobów współpracy. ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: Porównanie podejść do zjawiska crowdsourcingu stosowanych w literaturze nauk o zarządzaniu, analiza praktyk crowdsourcingu w naukach obywatelskich i wzorów crowdsourcingu w literaturze humanistycznej.
Information Literacy and Doctoral Students in France and Poland. A Comparative Study
Authors: Wiorogórska Zuzanna
Published: December 2020

Purpose/thesis: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issue of information literacy (IL) in view of French-Polish comparative research on information users. In the first part of the paper the simi­larities and differences in Polish and French approaches to information literacy are analyzed from the perspective of higher education. Next, the results of research conducted among doctoral students at the University of Warsaw and the University of Lille are presented. Approach/methods: Three methods were used: survey, nonparticipant observation and elements of grounded theory. The research tended on the one hand to verify the hypothesis on a low use of scientific journals by doctoral students, and on the other hand to answer the question what libra­rians and faculty should do to increase this use. Results and conclusions: Two major factors were identified: (1) the lack of specialized library instruction addressed to doctoral students (in the case of Poland) and (2) the lack of promotion/ dissemination of such instruction among doctoral students and lecturers who could encourage their students to participate (in the case of France). Research limitations: The response sample may be perceived too small to be representative for both universities; the method of identifying the field of studies may be disputable; the question if the uni­versities in Lille and Warsaw are comparable might be posed. Practical implications: This study might help librarians understand users’ needs and define the gaps in the library offer. It also highlights the importance of the IL education in the university environment. Originality/value: This is the first study of its kind and the first comparative study conducted after the implementation of Bologna Process. It identifies the issues that might be considered and imple­mented by the libraries with the main one being the reinforcement of the role and importance of IL.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE POLICIES OF THE WEST, HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE ISLAMIC WORLD
Authors: Dr. Abdul Khaliq  , Dr. Muhammad Muavia Khan  , Dr Muhammad Sajjad
Published: January 2021

The twentieth century is a century of mind-boggling scientific inventions, unparalleled feats of scientific research and discovery. The rapid development of human civilization and the sciences and arts that have taken place during each decade of this century is even greater than the collective development of the entire period of known human history. But if we look at the pace of political and moral development, the enlightened unipolar world that has reached the threshold of the 21st century still seems to be trapped in the colonial darkness of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Freedom, Equality, Democracy and Basic Human Rights have not been able to eradicate the blackness of the huge offices, the horrors of barbarism, oppression and injustice, aggression and cruelty. Under the weight of oppression, humanity is still wounded by the devil. Scientific inventions have bridged the gap between time and space and given the world the shape of a "human settlement", but alas! Couldn't bridge the gap between human hearts. That is why this "global settlement" is practically no different from a traditional settlement, it also has elders occupying power and resources and there are still losers drowning in the depths of humiliation. Blinded by the arrogance of scientific progress, the world may have subjugated the weak peasants whenever it wanted, but there is no one to stop its oppressive hands.

Intellectual specialization of entrepreneurship as a way of solving social and economic problems
Authors: Skrypko Tetyana , Harasymlyuk Mariya
Published: December 2020

Ukraine lags behind the developed countries in technological and economic spheres, by average income per capita, by renovation of production equipment, etc. Instead, comparatively high level of labour resources’ qualification and intellectual capacity remain to be the competitive advantage. Based on the theory of competitive advantages and current EU smart specialization strategy, it is possible to focus on technology-intensive industries oriented on exports to secure the countries’ sustainable development. The state of innovation activity of enterprises of industry, entrepreneurship sectors and regions is considered. The structure of the types of innovative activities of Ukrainian industrial enterprises for 2010-2017 includes internal and external impacts, such as the purchase of equipment and software, training of employees, etc. Statistical, table, questionnaire, factor analysis methods were used. The comparative analysis provides an innovative index of Ukraine and its 10 components (human resources, attractive research systems, innovation friendly environment, finance and support, firm investments, innovators, linkages, intellectual assets, employment impacts, sales impacts) calculated by EU economic experts according to the methodology The European Innovation Scoreboard. Based on the answers of the managers of small businesses, the bottlenecks of innovation management are grounded: internal (qualifications of managers and specialists), limited financial resources, risk of activities diversification) and external (corruption, formal approach of authorities and institutional infrastructure). The paper proves the reasonability of the state policy of further investment development and stimulation of the IT sector due to its low material resources, proper system of education of specialists, legal support and fiscal policy. The record high growth rate of the information services market and the corresponding high-intellectual cluster of specialists allows predicting the integration of the national industry into the international division of labor from the angle of geopolitical smart specialization.
Economic behavior of households and their welfare: models and forms of interaction
Authors: Bil Maryana , Mulska Olha
Published: December 2020

The article defines the content of welfare as a measure of socially oriented efficiency of economic growth, which reflects the appropriate level of providing the population with material and spiritual goods with the formation of favourable conditions for human development and capitalization of human potential in a competitive mobile space. The modern theory of welfare testifies to the deepening of scientific discussions on the transformation of economic welfare into mobile and inclusive, as well as the opposition of competitive and social protection welfare policy. Another milestone in the evolution of welfare theory is the individualization of its provision. Conditions of competition and mobility increase the importance of households in providing their well-being with further reflection on the processes of economic growth of the community, region, and state. This gives grounds to actualize the issues of household welfare research and strengthening economic growth based on behavioural economics. The needs, interests, motives, and incentives determine the economic behaviour of households. At higher levels, it defines an economic culture that is closely linked to the national mentality. In this regard, the main models of economic and social behaviour of households – socialization, adaptation, integration, values, regulation, and the definition of financial development strategies are outlined. Theoretical approaches to the explanation of economic behaviour are generalized, namely religious-ethical, psychological, substantive theories, theories of motivations and acquired needs, process theories, theories of justice, and others. Based on the ideas of foreign scientists, the main determinants of the economic policy of households are proposed. Political, stabilizing, and economic determinants are distinguished in the group of general determinants. In the group of determinants directly related to households, the financial, demographic, cultural, social, empirical, and psychological are suggested. The author’s emphasis is placed on the importance of the impact of financial determinants of the households’ economic behaviour, the central place among which is occupied by savings.

Authors: Abdul Aziz Nur Amelia Syakira , Kamarulzaman Nitty Hirawaty
Published: December 2020

Dietary supplement fraud cases have become a major concern among consumers due to proven damage and effects on the health and lives of consumers. An increase in the risk of food safety might result from the high consumption of dietary supplements fraud. However, fraudulent activities are difficult to verify due to the lack of awareness of dietary supplements among consumers. Thus, this study was carried out to achieve the following objectives i) to determine consumers’ behaviour towards fraudulent dietary supplements and ii) to determine factors that influenced consumers’ behaviour towards fraudulent dietary supplements. A purposive sampling method was used to select 400 respondents and a structured questionnaire was established to collect the data. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, Chi-square analysis, factors analysis, and multiple regression analysis were the statistical analyses employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that most of the respondents were aware of fraudulent dietary supplements. Socio-demographic profiles such as age, race, religion, and education level had significant associations with consumers’ behaviour towards fraudulent dietary supplements. There was a weak positive relationship between knowledge and attitude of consumers towards fraudulent dietary supplements. Subjective norms, awareness, attitude, and perceived behavioral control were the factors that influenced consumers’ behaviour towards fraudulent dietary supplements. The study recommended that government and relevant authorities should continuously organize awareness campaigns and activities on food fraud especially for dietary supplements to ensure the consumers gained more knowledge thus, increase their awareness of fraudulent dietary supplements.

Published: January 2021

The present study aims to investigate the factors and forms of female child trafficking in Pakhtun society from the perspective of opinion of leaders and experts. It enlists some of the cultural factors and forms of marriages, which provide critical space for the practice of trafficking even though it goes unnoticed in Pakhtun society. For this purpose, data were collected from 392 respondents, consisting of 116 university teachers, 103 journalists and 173 legal practitioners from Peshawar. Data were collected through a questionnaire. Cronbach’s Alpha test was used to know about the reliability of the tool which was 0.7. Analyses were carried out with the help of suitable statistical tests of Chi square, and gamma. Simple frequency distribution, bi and multivariate level of analyses were carried out. The study found that all the study indicators of Pakhtun culture are responsible for providing breeding ground for female child trafficking. Bride price, excessive dowry compensation marriage (locally known as Swara marriage), and forced marriage are the main factors and forms responsible for female child trafficking in the study area. Results at bivariate and multivariate confirm each other where gender has no critical role in the resulted association between the two variables.
Morality or Mechanics: A Dilemma for Educational Leaders of 21st Century
Authors: Dr. Afifa Khanam
Published: January 2021

The present century has added a number of challenges to educational leaders: the growing competition, high community expectations, economic challenges and hyper connected technological globalization which require manifold decisions on the part of educational leaders. The study in hand is an endeavor to explore the conflict of moral preferences against highly task oriented or mechanical decisions opted by educational leaders. The study adopted qualitative paradigm for in depth phenomenological inquiry of the perceptions and experiences of 12 educational leaders about their preferences, either moral or mechanical, in the sense of task oriented demands. The purposive sample comprised deans, directors and heads of departments at a Pakistani women university who were individually interviewed. Thematic analysis of the transcripts revealed that the educational leaders faced pressures of imposing high workloads to the staff, irrational downsizing, intruding personal privacy of staff by demanding 24/7 technological availability, reducing flexibility, being stern to conflicts, being less empathetic and insensitive to individual problems and imposing deadlines to be met by the staff. In addition, they found less time to listen to the individual problems of their staff or to motivate them. They were deeply concerned about the external and internal organizational policies that might demoralize the staff. The educational leaders confessed that the increased number of credit hours and changed social and technological environment had reduced opportunities of character building and moral grooming for students. The study shows implications for balancing the mechanical challenges of the 21st century with moral emphasis and priorities of ‘right action’ in the field of education.

Published: January 2021

Виконано аналіз впливу міцності бетону на напруження арматури серпоподібного профілю за її висмикування з бетону. Показано, що ці напруження лінійно залежать від міцності бетону на стиск і від відносної довжини анкерування, яка дорівнює відношенню довжини анкерування до діаметра стрижня. Виявлено, що коефіцієнт зчеплення стрижнів з бетоном, який пов'язує відносну довжину анкерування з відношенням напружень стрижня при висмикуванні до призмової міцності бетону, дорівнює 0,83.  Визначено, що за інших рівних умов напруження стрижнів кільцеподібного профілю у порівнянні зі серповидним профілем за висмикування в 1,4 рази більші.

Dünya praktikasında auditor nəzarəti yeni olmasa da, bütün fəaliyyət şəbəkəsində geniş tətbiq olunur. Respublikamızda da bazar münasibətlərinə keçidlə əlaqədar olaraq auditor fəaliyyəti geniş inkişaf etməkdədir. Artıq bu yeni müstəqil nəzarət formasının tətbiqini daha da genişləndirmək məqsədi ilə müəyyən qərarlar qəbul edilmiş, müvafiq qanunvericilik prosesi sürət götürmüşdür. Lakin görülən işlər qənaətbəxş hesab edilsə də, sahənin mühüm problemlərini əhatə edən informasiya qıtlığı hələ də hiss edilməkdədir.
Qiymətləndirmə və amortizasiya ayırmaları

Azərbaycan Respublikasında bazar iqtisadiyyatına keçid dövründə amortizasiya ayırmalarının hesablanmasının açıq metodundan istifadəyə başlanmışdır. Bu sahədə tətbiq edilən müvafiq təlimat əvvəlki qaydalara nisbətdə mütərəqqi üstünlüklərə malikdir. Sürətli amortizasiya prinsiplərinin bərqərar olunması bir sıra şərtlərlə əhatəlidir. Sürətli amortizasiya prosesi bir tərəfdən istehsalın yeni texnika və texnologiyalarla təchizatına geniş imkanlar açır, digər tərəfdən isə istehsal xərclərinin müvafiq elementinin yüksəlməsinə səbəb olur. Respublikamızda sürətli amortizasiya siyasəti müəssisənin uçot siyasəti əsasında müəyyən olunur. Şübhəsiz ki, burada da müəssisələrə kifayət qədər sərbəstlik verilmişdir. Belə ki, müəssisələr istismarda olan, lakin faktiki işləməyən əsas vəsaitlərin konservasiya qaydalarını özləri müəyyənləşdirmə, müvafiq qruplar və ayrı-ayrı əsas vəsaitlərin növləri üzrə müxtəlif köhnəlmə normaları tətbiq edə bilərlər. Normadan əlavə köhnəlmə hesablamaq zərurəti yaranarsa, bu zaman artıq amortizasiya məbləğləri müəssisələrin sərəncamında qalan mənfəət hesabına həyata keçirilir. Sürətli amortizasiya prosesində kombinasiyalı və ya reqressiv şkala metodu daha cəlbedici görünür. Bu metod amortizasiya ayırmaları şkalası ilə hasilatın dinamikası arasında əlaqəni göstərməklə, yataqların işlənməsinin sonrakı mərhələsində daxil olmuş əsas istehsal fondlarının tam amortizasiya olunmasının maya dəyərində əks etdirir.

Azərbaycan Respublikasında bazar yönümlü iqtisadi inkişafa seçim verildikdən sonra neft-qaz sənayesində də islahatlar prosesi sürətləndirilmişdir. Ölkə iqtisadiyyatının bu ənənəvi aparıcı sektoru keçid mərhələsində də yenidənqurmanın təxirəsalınmaz şərtlərini yerinə yetirən əsas sənaye sahələrindən olmuşdur. Yaranmış yeni tarixi reallıq, coğrafi-siyasi vəziyyət neft-qaz resurslarının xalqa tam məxsusluğunu, onun mənafelərinə müvafiq istifadəsini gerçəkləşdirmişdir. Xəzərin zəngin karbohidrogen yataqlarının mənimsənilməsinə ayrılan investisiya və texnoloji imkanlar respublikada neft biznesinin inkişafına bazar aksenti verərək sahədə sistemli yanaşmanın prioritetliyinə, əhatəli və çoxcəhətli təhlil işinin aparılmasına zərurətlər yaranmışdır. Bu çoxşaxəli və mürəkkəb prosesin astanasında görkəmli alim, akademik A.X.Mirzəcanzadənin tədqiqatları konseptual fikir baxımından mümkünlüyü və uzaqgörənliyi ilə xüsusi fərqlənmişdir [1].
