In exercising their power and authority, School Management Teams (SMTs) should engage in transformative leadership which commences with interrogations regarding social justice, democracy and social responsibility. According to Freire’s philosophy of education it is further expected of SMT members to support and shape the belief that autonomy is a condition arising from the responsible engagement with decision-making; that we are ‘unfinished’ in our development as human beings; and that we are responsible for the development of a critical consciousness as a necessary condition of freedom and the creation of democratic and equitable learning spaces. In a transformative leadership context, authority must inform all critical practices of pedagogical intervention and goal setting should support in-service teacher’s autonomy, self-worth and develop their potential and the level of intrinsic motivation to flourish in inclusive school settings. This paper reports on a qualitative pilot study conducted with SMT members and teachers in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa to gain their insights regarding their roles as leaders in devising mechanisms to invest in radical democratic principles and the promotion of inclusive school practices. The key findings indicate that the SMT’s role require that they interrogate their frame of reference and transform their thinking in terms of social justice in multicultural school settings and create opportunities for in-service teachers to develop professionally and use digital technology creatively to enhance teaching and learning. As a force for transformation, we conclude that transformative leadership may be a catalyst to engage school leaders and teachers in individual and combined processes of awareness of inclusive practices and action.
WHAT DOES A STUDENT OF A TEACHING DEGREE LEARN APART FROM SUBJECTS?
Authors:   Department of Education Sciences, University of Saragossa (Spain), Falcón Linares Carolina
Published: July 2021

Awareness of emotional experiences, vicarious learning and values, in relation to teaching profession, had emerged as a core of interest in previous research. This case study aims to activate awareness of future teachers in several ways. It is about developing critical reasoning about learning from a complexity perspective: (a) training the ability to contextualize learning with their personal beliefs and values, (b) improving strategies to transfer it, and (c) accompanying construction of professional judgment. The intervention is carried out during two academic years with students of Teaching Degrees in Saragossa (Spain). Learning goals and evaluation are maintained, but teacher-student and peer communication styles are modified. The key to the new methodology is to strengthen the personal and professional narrative in coherence with the subjects. It is a priority that students feel synergies between what they learn, their vicarious knowledge, their emotional memory and the vocation for teaching. After each semester, discussion groups have been held, obtaining 14 hours of video recording, with the oral narrative data of 215 students divided into groups of 5. Three emerging categories have been obtained (professional vision, professional development and appreciation of teaching action), and nine subcategories have been defined on a second phase of the analysis. During university education, there are memorable teachers who motivate action and career leadership, others who go unnoticed, and some who perform a negative influence. The reason is, first, in the unconscious inference of their pedagogical models; and second, in the feelings that have emerged during the time shared with them.

Published: July 2021

The aim in our study was to determine the importance of digital competences and attitudes regarding research to teachers, according to various variables such as gender, age, and level of studies. A questionnaire was used to gather information from 28 teachers at the Escuela Normal de Educacion Primaria “Rodolfo Menéndez de la Peña”, in México. The questionnaire was developed based on Aldana y Joya (2011), and the GIDU-EDUTIC/IN research group from the Universidad de Alicante. The questionnaire comprises 48 questions on the importance of digital skills and 50 questions on attitudes towards research. All questions use a Likert scale with 5 answer options. Cronbach's Alpha was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. It was found that the questions related to the importance of digital competence an alpha equal to 0.912 and for the questions of attitudes towards research an alpha equal to 0.854. It was found that teachers considered important the five digital competences dimensions. It also was found that they considered that creativity and innovation as the most important dimension and the use and access of information as the less important. The participant teachers’ attitudes towards research were more neutral. It was found that the cognitive dimension was the one with the highest score, while the behavioral dimension the one with the lowest score. It is concluded that training needs are detected to improve their digital skills and their attitude towards research, the need for further research on the effect is perceived that could have for the development of research groups in this institution.
SELF- AND PEER-ASSESSMENT TO ENHANCE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN UNDERGRADUATE GROUP PROJECTS
Authors:   School of Computing, Engineering and Intelligent Systems, Ulster University (UK), Kerr Dermot , Coleman Sonya
Published: July 2021

Group projects are an important part of undergraduate computer science learning because of their role in developing working skills which are vital for professionals in the computing industry. While group projects offer many potential learning benefits there is no guarantee that the development of working skills will be achieved. In fact, group projects introduce their own stresses and strains for students due to the need to share the workload as fairly as possible, in how individual contributions are measured and recognised, the effect this has on individual performance, and ultimately how this contributes to the student’s success in the course. Group projects which are not designed, supervised and assessed in a way that promotes meaningful teamwork and collaboration can lead to failure. In this paper we demonstrate practical use of the WebPA system to allow students to perform self- and peer-assessment to effectively measure individual contributions within group projects. The impact of the tools in supporting and measuring performance is validated through quantitative student feedback where we demonstrate significant student engagement in the assessment process and student satisfaction in mark allocation.
MOOCS AS A TOOL FOR VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY ORIENTATION
Authors:   Federica Web Learning, Centre for Innovation, Experimentation and Diffusion of Multimedia Learning, University of Naples Federico II (Italy), Merciai Ilaria , Kerr Ruth
Published: July 2021

The Covid-19 era, and its enforced transition of all teaching and learning activity to the online space, is potentially leading to reduced university enrolment rates. International student enrolments are predictably down due to travel restrictions and concerns about student safety, but even at home the same trends are being observed. One of the conversations around this issue is the value-for-money question in relation to a perceived reduction in the quality of the overall student experience when the networking opportunities of on-campus life and study are taken away. A further question is the level of digital readiness of staff and school-leaver students, and whether they are able to deal successfully with preparation for final-year school exams, university choice, and for university entrance tests in remote learning. Federica Web Learning, the University Centre for Research Innovation and Dissemination of multimedia and distance learning, has long been making the case for MOOCs as a valid tool for virtual orientation. In the current climate, MOOCs can provide chunks of ready-made quality learning content for use as the asynchronous component in today’s hybrid online courses, meaning that the time teacher and class spend in plenary, in video-conferencing, can be devoted to discussion and more in-depth analysis of the learning objectives. The MOOCs can be specially chosen from the growing range on offer from university providers around the world: some provide remedial content in problem subjects and topics; some offer specific exam preparation content and others offer university orientation, or study skills.
HERITAGE AND ART EDUCATION THROUGH THE SCREEN. FILLING THE SPACE BY PERFORMATIVE METHODOLOGIES
Authors:   Interdepartmental research Centre for Cultural and Artistic Heritage Bi-PAC, University of Milano- Bicocca-Universidad Católica de Murcia UCAM (Italy), De Nicola Alessandra
Published: July 2021

Long before the pandemic, museums started to invest, experimenting with some performative practices (Bishop 2006; Lista 2006) as a method and tool to foster access and participation of different audiences to their heritage. Since the advent of the #culturequarantine, in which most of the educational activities have taken place through a digital space, care and attention to gesture and space have become a key to respond effectively to the needs of educators and users. After an initial phase of rejection and disorientation, teachers, educators and trainers had to find new answers. The aim of this contribution is to describe some of these answers looking at methodologies coming from the field of choreographic and performance research. The argumentation will pass through the narration of some international proposals, three action research experiences accomplished with museum educators and schoolteachers, through which it was possible to observe how the needs and requirements changed as the lockdown conditions changed. The outcome of the research, which took about one year, is the reconsideration of the body as a mediator of the educational and training experience. On the one hand we see the "body as archive" for new knowledge, on the other hand, the space of digital educational activities is reified, thanks to this new role of the body.

COVID-19 has drastically altered our world. Though travel is halted, global education does not have to stop. We used this time to reconceive the notion of study abroad and designed a study abroad program that could be facilitated virtually and enhanced with face-to-face classroom interaction. We were inspired to embark on this journey for several reasons. First, the realities of the pandemic create risks associated with international travel. Second, international experiences need to be more accessible–more students should be able to participate in global education, even if they do not have the means or ability to do so. We present our design considerations in building and implementing this virtual study abroad program. As part of the design, we partnered with VEXA (Virtual Experiences Abroad), a Moscow-based company that built the online interface and facilitated the interactions between our students and Russian citizens, including visits to a Russian Orthodox Church, the Bolshoi Ballet theater, and elementary and middle schools. We also brought elements of Russian culture to life through face-to-face experiences including a live cooking session with a Russian chef, discussions with a Russian Orthodox priest, and a ballet lesson with a company member of the Bolshoi theatre. These types of experiences facilitated group discussions and social interaction opportunities, crucial for establishing relationships. Overall, our main goal was to reconceive the traditional notion of study abroad while garnering results that would match the transformational gains that global education provides.
SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND TEACHERS’ IMPLEMENTATION OF CURRICULUM REFORM IN TAIWAN: MEDIATING EFFECT OF TEACHERS' ORIENTATION
Authors:   Department of Education and Learning Technology, National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan), Cheng Chun-Hung , Chen Mei-Ju
Published: July 2021

In response to the global education development trend, Taiwan had officially launched the Competency-based Education Reform in 2019. Although school leadership has been linked to teachers' changes, the relationship's underlying mechanism remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to examine the mediating effect of teachers' orientation toward curriculum changes on the relationship between school leadership and teachers' implementation of reform. In October 2020, we conducted a questionnaire survey on teachers in 53 elementary and middle schools among six counties/cities in Taiwan. Among 506 valid responses, 345 teachers are women (68.2%) and 161 are men (31.8%). We adapted the Education Reform Scale developed by Ramberg in 2014. The dependent variable was “Teachers' Implementation of Curriculum Reform (3-item)”. The main predictors included “School Leadership (4-item)” and “Teachers' Orientation toward Changes (3-item)”. Each item was responded to on a 6-point scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. We used SPSS PROCESS macro to conduct the mediation analysis. After controlling for teacher’s characteristics, the regression model showed that school leadership is positively associated with teachers' implementation of reform (β=0.450, p<0.001). After adding teachers' orientation in the model, the association of school leadership with teachers' implementation of reform attenuated but remained statistically significant (β=0.286, p<0.001). Teachers' orientation showed a significant indirect effect on the association between school leadership and teachers' implementation of reform (β=0.164; Bootstrap 95% CI=0.105 to 0.227). This study suggests that teachers' orientation toward curriculum changes partially mediates the relationship between school leadership and teachers’ implementation of the Competency-based Education reform.
CO-CONSTRUCTING A LEARNING EXPERIENCE TO APPROACH MENTAL ILLNESS IN THE CLASSROOM: A TEACHING MICRO-SCENARIO
Authors:   Department of Biological Applications and Technologies, University of Ioannina (Greece), Karamolegkou Anastasia , Diamantopoulou Christina , Koutentaki Georgia , Andreou Lefkothea-Vasiliki
Published: July 2021

Social distancing, isolation, stress, and fear in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic are factors that trigger or exacerbate mental health conditions. Further to this, mental health literacy is particularly relevant to secondary education as puberty is a common age of onset of mental disorders. Nevertheless, the topic is somewhat overlooked due to teaching challenges that involve potential emotional triggers, the complex and sensitive nature of the issue, as well as a limited pool of educational resources. Here, we propose a teaching micro-scenario that addresses the topic of mental health literacy via an interdisciplinary approach that promotes active learning. First, students are introduced to the neurobiology of mental disorders by means of engaging with interactive audiovisual materials and a 3D brain simulation. Then, students work on their statistics skills by calculating estimates on affected populations including the school community. Finally, art and creativity are employed to explore healing and public health. The evaluation of the proposed learning intervention is achieved in the form of plenary discussion.
TELECAREER: ANTECEDENTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF STRATEGIC CAREER BEHAVIOURS ON IBERIAN TELEWORKERS
Authors:   School of Human Sciences, Catholic University of Portugal (Portugal), Pinto Joana Carneiro
Published: July 2021

This paper aims to present the state of the art, objectives, methodology and expected results of a project that investigates the nature, causes and consequences of the use of strategic career management behaviours in an Iberian sample of teleworking adults. Specifically, our purpose is to analyze the strategic behaviours - authenticity, balance and challenge - according to the Kaleidoscopic Career Model developed by Sullivan and Mainiero (2008). The role of self-efficacy beliefs, the desire for career control, and perceived organizational support, as antecedents of those career behaviours, will be assessed, as well, as the consequences of their use on perceived career control, objective and subjective career success, and career satisfaction. The aim is to develop an explanatory model of career management for Iberian teleworkers, with implications for the design of human resource development programmes in organisational contexts. It is an innovative project on the international scenario, by the target population on which it focuses, but also by the combination of the selected career variables.

Authors:   Peace and Justice Institute, Valencia College (USA), Lonski Jennifer Sanguiliano , Lott Laurinda , Van Putten Hank
Published: July 2021

Educators have the unique opportunity to promote equity, change, and social justice ideals to an entire generation. Through daily lessons, classroom norms, and beliefs, classroom teachers can disrupt inequity among students. The Peace and Justice Institute (PJI) at Valencia College has worked with approximately 140 educators through the week-long PJI Teachers Academy over the past three years. This workshop explores the basis of the PJI philosophy, the Principles for How We Treat Each Other: Our Practice of Respect and Community Building (PJI Principles), and discusses social justice practices and norms that research indicates support equity and inclusion in the classroom. This workshop will begin with a brief introduction to the Peace and Justice Institute and the presenter backgrounds. Research has indicated that the practice of reading the PJI Principles aloud, discussing them with members of the community, and focusing on application impacts the way we communicate with each other in our personal and professional spaces. In this session participants will read the PJI Principles aloud, hearing the voices of their online community as they discuss the implications of a standard set of norms. Following the initial reading, the presenters will dive deeper into three of the principles, working with participants to explore practical applications of the PJI Principles. With the understanding that social change towards equity and justice can begin with teachers and their classrooms, this workshop will conclude with research regarding personal and professional change related to the PJI Principles. This presentation is open to all participants.
Os condominios no dereito comparado e no dereito urbanístico galego
Authors: Pardo Rodríguez Sabela
Published: July 2021

As urbanizacións pechadas naceron nos Estados Unidos e en poucos anos comezaron a proliferar por toda América Latina. En España o momento álxido dos condominios foron os anos 60 do século XX, ao abeiro da Lei do solo de 1956. En Galicia, aínda que existen varios exemplos de condominios, o máis paradigmático é o da illa de Toralla en Vigo, autorizado nesa época. Na actualidade é posible atopar na nosa comunidade autónoma normas urbanísticas de ámbito local e carácter regulamentario que permiten expresamente a construción de condominios.

Authors: W Eka Harisma
Published: July 2021

ABSTRAK Tulisan ini mengkaji cerpen “The Yellow Wallpaper” karya Charlotte Perkins Gilman dengan menggunakan pendekatan feminis psikoanalisis Karen Horney. Pendekatan teori ini digunakan untuk menganalisis bahwa bentuk perlawanan perempuan yang tecermin dalam cerpen ini antara lain perlawanan mendekati orang lain, perlawanan melawan orang lain, dan perlawanan menjauhi orang lain. Bentuk perlawanan mendekati orang lain adalah dengan aktivitas memunculkan teman khayalan yang dianggap nyata; Perlawanan melawan orang lain ditunjukkan dengan kembalinya aktivitas menulis dan aktivas yang menunjukkan gangguan jiwa; Perlawanan menjauhi orang lain adalah dengan aktivitas mengunci pintu kamar dan tidak ingin bertemu dengan orang lain. Bentuk perlawanan yang paling kuat adalah ketika tokoh perempuan dianggap mengidap gangguan jiwa. Perlawanan-perlawanan perempuan tersebut disebabkan oleh dominasi atau belenggu patriarki dalam masyarakat. Belenggu-belenggu patriarki yang tecermin dalam cerpen ini antara lain subordinasi peran perempuan, alienasi/pengasingan perempuan dari masyarakat, dan perempuan dianggap sebagai liyan.Kata kunci: feminis psikoanalisis, perlawanan, gangguan jiwa ABSTRACTThis paper examines the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman using the feminist approach of Karen Horney's psychoanalysis. This theoretical approach is used to analyze that the forms of women's resistance reflected in this short story include resistance to approaching others, resistance against other people, and resistance to staying away from others. The form of resistance to approaching others is through the activity of bringing up imaginary friends who are considered real; Resistance against others is shown by the return to writing and activities that indicate mental disorders; The resistance to staying away from others is by locking the bedroom door and not wanting to meet other people. The strongest form of resistance is when the female character is considered to have mental disorders. The women's resistance was caused by the dominance or the shackles of patriarchy in society. The patriarchal shackles that are reflected in this short story include the subordination of the role of women, alienation / alienation of women from society, and women being considered as others. Keywords: feminist psychoanalysis, resistance, neurotic insanity

Authors: Favero Eveline , Dalla Valle Ana Carolina
Published: July 2021

O presente relato apresenta atividades desenvolvidas durante uma ação de extensão realizada em 2017 com alunos do quinto ano do ensino fundamental de um município do Oeste do Paraná. O objetivo do projeto foi elaborar e desenvolver ações educativas no tema de prevenção e percepção de riscos e desastres no ambiente escolar, buscando promover a cultura de prevenção. A ação de extensão teve duração de seis encontros, durante os quais as crianças identificaram e fotografaram riscos no ambiente escolar, agrupando-os por similaridades, elaboraram um mapa de risco conforme critérios próprios de localização e gravidade e, participaram de roda de conversa com representantes de instituições como Corpo de Bombeiros e Companhia Paranaense de Energia Elétrica. A análise do impacto do projeto foi realizada por meio da aplicação de um questionário de pré e pós-teste. As análises das diferenças das médias, por meio do teste t de Student evidenciaram que houve um aumento significativo na percepção de risco de desastres nas crianças (p=0,02), bem como na percepção de risco de acidentes (p=0,05 em casa; p=0.03 na escola). O mesmo não aconteceu com a mudança de comportamento, ou seja, comportamento pró-ambiental e de prevenção (p=0,12). O projeto promoveu a cultura de prevenção e percepção de riscos na infância e evidenciou ser viável a inserção da temática no currículo escolar, uma vez que as crianças também demonstraram um acréscimo no conhecimento no pós-teste (p=0,01 no 5º. ano A).
Utilização de metodologia multicritério para identificação de vetores concorrentes ao fomento de uma cultura de inovação organizacional
Authors: Miranda Rogério Henrique , Boscarioli Clodis
Published: July 2021

A estrutura de poder da empresa denominada aqui de Alpha[1] é igualitária entre os dois países sócios; consequentemente, o processo decisório é binacional. Entretanto, inexiste na sua estrutura organizacional uma área responsável por pesquisa e desenvolvimento e, ademais, a melhoria de seus processos de trabalho ocorre de maneira quase empírica, sem muitas iniciativas formais para construir uma cultura de inovação. Este trabalho buscou identificar os vetores que concorrem para a criação de uma cultura de inovação corporativa por meio da metodologia multicritério de apoio à decisão e verificar a sua presença na Alpha. Realizou-se também pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa entre os empregados da empresa a fim de construir um referencial teórico que alicerçasse e validasse os vetores revelados pela metodologia multicritério, que foram: clima organizacional propício, educação corporativa voltada para a inovação, parcerias estratégicas e o estabelecimento de um prêmio corporativo de reconhecimento e recompensa. Os principais resultados alcançados denotam que existem na empresa Alpha iniciativas esparsas de desenvolvimento desses vetores, porém, ainda sem sinergia entre eles e sem a estruturação necessária para o estabelecimento de uma cultura de inovação efetiva na organização.

Legal instruments of the State Sanitary Inspection - amendments to the Act on the State Sanitary Inspection in the face of the pandemic
Authors: Kacała Konrad
Published: July 2021

Pojawienie się nowego koronawirusa SARS-Co2-V i wywoływanej przez niego choroby zakaźnej COVID-19 wymagało – na szczeblu państwa – podejmowania natychmiastowych decyzji w wielu obszarach, w tym na przykład w odniesieniu do polityki, funkcjonowania służby zdrowia, gospodarki, systemu edukacji przedszkolnej i szkolnej, badań naukowych, przekraczania granic, mobilności itp. Niebezpieczeństwo związane z zakażeniami, niespodziewany i nietypowy rodzaj zagrożenia, a także jego skala, wymusiły zdecydowane działania, przede wszystkim aby wzmocnić sektor zdrowia publicznego i złagodzić społeczno-gospodarcze skutki koronawirusa. Równolegle, niezwykle istotne było podjęcie przez państwo innych działań, w tym w postaci przygotowania, a następnie wprowadzenia zmian w regulacjach prawnych. Problemem badawczym postawionym w artykule jest ocena czy ustawowe zmiany miały faktycznie na uwadze powstałą sytuację i zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa, w tym sanitarno-epidemiologicznego, przed chorobą zakaźną COVID-19 i wywołującym ją koronawirusem SARS-CoV-2, w czym się dokładnie przejawiły, jaki mają charakter. Hipotezą artykułu jest twierdzenie, że kierunek dokonanych zmian legislacyjnych, przejawiający się we wprowadzeniu nowych środków prawnych o różnym charakterze uwzględnia powstałą sytuację i zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa. Konieczne stało się stworzenie możliwości stosowania nowych instrumentów w określonych przypadkach związanych z zakażeniami czy chorobami zakaźnymi, zwiększenie szybkości w wydawaniu i wykonaniu decyzji nakładających określone ustawą o Inspekcji Sanitarnej obowiązki, stworzenie możliwości uzupełniania obowiązujących regulacji poprzez wydawanie zaleceń i wytycznych w stosunku do poszczególnych adresatów i wytyczanie w ten sposób norm postępowania. Wszystko w imię zapewnienia szeroko pojętego bezpieczeństwa. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest omówienie najważniejszych zmian w zakresie regulacji prawnych, które zaszły w ostatnim okresie związanym z pojawieniem się koronawirusa, COVID-19. Skupiono się na Państwowej Inspekcji Sanitarnej (Inspekcja Sanitarna). Omówiono historię służb sanitarno-epidemiologicznych w Polsce, scharakteryzowano zagadnienie bezpieczeństwa sanitarno-epidemiologicznego na podstawie obowiązujących przepisów prawnych, a przede wszystkim scharakteryzowano wprowadzone do ustawy o Państwowej Inspekcji Sanitarnej nowe instrumenty prawne, regulujące jej działania w zakresie przeciwdziałania zagrożeniu. Podstawową metodą badawczą zastosowaną w artykule jest metoda prawno-dogmatyczną, polegającą na analizie aktów prawnych, studiowaniu literatury prawniczej, a także orzecznictwa sądowego oraz metoda historyczna, ukazującą zmiany w legislacji. Artykuł wieńczą podsumowanie, wnioski, końcowa weryfikacja hipotezy i wskazanie kierunków dalszych badań.
FEATURES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION PROCESSES
Authors: HALYCH Oleksandr , DEMYDKIN Oleh
Published: July 2021

The article updates the importance of using modern information systems and technologies of public administration and administration in the context of European integration processes. It has been substantiated that the efficiency of the work of authorities at all levels is largely determined by the quality and efficiency of their information and analytical services. The essential-meaningful characteristic of the information system of public administration and administration has been determined by generalizing the views of domestic and foreign scientists. The structure of the information system was defined through the allocation of four main components: means of fixing and collecting information; means of transmitting the relevant data and messages; information storage means; means of analysis, processing and presentation of information. The directions of the functioning of interconnected information systems that ensure electronic interaction of public authorities of different countries in the context of digitalization and globalization of socio-economic relations with representatives of business structures and civil society, allowing to form elements of the "virtual community" and "digital power" as transformed forms of public administration were characterized. Among them are: free movement of information data; expansion of forms of audiovisual communication through the development of modern computer technology; interactivity of modern media tools used in the public administration system; anonymity of collective and individual communication on the Internet; the rapid dissemination of information using modern communications; modern means of forming and transmitting information. The technology of information exchange in the information system of public management and administration in the context of globalization and eurointegration has been formalized. The advantages of information technologies in public administration for the implementation of socio-economic cooperation projects is highlighted, including: creating conditions for the availability of information on significant economic and social issues; strengthening the level of mutual trust in society; strengthening feedback between state and public subjects of public administration relations; creation of innovative forms of public participation in public administration; the formation of sources of transparency in the actions of interacting institutions; ensuring productivity growth of e-government while reducing time and labor costs in information processing and decision-making.

DETERMINATION OF EFFICIENCY OF SMALL AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES ECONOMIC ACTIVITY BY THE ANALYSIS METHOD OF FUNCTIONING ENVIRONMENT
Authors: SAKHNO Andrii , PAVLYUK Iryna
Published: July 2021

It has been proposed to use the analysis method of the operating environment to assess the effectiveness of small agricultural enterprises based on the two input factors characteristics (resources) – labor costs of enterprises, the cost of equity and the resultant factor – the volume of sales. Coefficients of coverage by volume of sold products (goods, works, services) of own capital cost and labor costs for small agricultural enterprises by types of economic activity have been calculated, which allowed types of economic activity rating by small enterprises by coefficients of coverage of sold products (goods, works, services) cost of capital, labor costs and financial results. It has been proved that the activity of small agricultural enterprises among all other types of economic activity has the highest rating on the coefficients of coverage of sold products (goods, works, services) of labor costs, but the lowest on the coefficients of coverage of sold products (goods, works, services) capital, despite the fact that the amount of profit is inferior only to economic entities engaged in wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles.
Using the coefficients values of coverage of the sold products volume (goods, works, services), the cost of equity and labor costs, built an environment for small agricultural enterprises, which allowed to form a line of technical efficiency: (agriculture, forestry and fisheries-wholesale and retail trade; repair motor vehicles and motorcycles-information and telecommunications-education) and on the basis of the position of agriculture, forestry and fisheries to find a new position by designing a line with the position of inefficient economic activity (Activities in the field of administrative and support services). It has been outlined the possibility of optimizing the activities of small agricultural enterprises by increasing the volume of sold products (goods, works, services) and reducing costs, which will improve the financial result (will increase profits).
THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE ESSENCE AND FEATURES OF CREDIT RELATIONS IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY
Authors: ALESKEROVA Yuliia , FEDORYSHYNA Lidiya
Published: July 2021

The article reveals the essence of credit, investigates the evolutionary prerequisites for the emergence and formation of the categorical apparatus of lending, defines the characteristic features of credit, which were studied by representatives of various theories. The stages of development of credit relations in society are systematized. The stages of development of credit relations, principles, functions and features of lending to enterprises in the agricultural sector of the economy have been investigated.
The evolutionary aspects of credit as an economic category have been investigated from the standpoint of the capital-creation theory and the theory of credit regulation.
It has been established that the main provisions of the capital-creation theory treat credit as a category independent of the reproduction process and as a decisive factor in the development of the economy. It is proved that the capital-creation theory received its development in the form of the expansionist theory of credit, based on the provisions on the infinity of credit and the deposits and capital created by it. It is proved that the essence of credit is revealed more deeply by the theory of credit regulation, which determines the priority role of the monetary system in the development of the state's economy, emphasizing its ability to regulate the economic system and prevent crisis phenomena. It has been established that the development of credit theories at the present stage is reflected in the redistribution and stock theories.
It has been proved that it is expedient to use an integrated, multi-level approach to the study of the essence, functions, mechanisms of the functioning of credit and to determine its influence on the development of the state economy. The result of this research is the author's conceptual vision of credit as an economic category, which systematically covers the essence, role and functions of credit. The legitimacy of the existence of a separate mechanism of credit relations in the agricultural sector of the economy, covering credit institutions, the credit market, credit policy and the credit flows themselves, has been proved. The essential characteristics and features of agricultural credit are systematized and the priority features of credit facilities in agriculture are highlighted. Five groups of factors have been formulated that affect the availability of credit for business entities in agriculture in modern conditions.

The World Health Organization classifies neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in order to highlight the impact of these diseases on public health and as a tool to eradicate them. Due to its risk to human health, especially in the last decade, several publications have been dedicated to the proposal of alternative diagnosis for NTDs. The rapid detection of these diseases is essential for the early initiation of treatment and, thus, allows the reduction of mortality and improves the quality of life of patients. However, the conventional techniques used to detect NTDs are expensive, time-consuming and require more sophisticated equipment in the laboratory, which hinders analyzes to be performed in situ. In light of this context, researchers have been working on the application of biosensors to overcome the current problems. The results found have been promising, as the biosensors exhibited low detection limits with high selectivity and the possibility of performance in miniaturized/portable systems. This technology combines the specificity of biological probes with the sensitivity and stability of several groups of transducers (mainly electrochemical and optical ones). In the present manuscript, we reviewed the recent advances in the field of biosensors to detect some of the main pathogens causing NTDs worldwide (Zika, dengue, schistosomiasis, malaria, snakebite envenoming, leishmaniasis and Chagas disease).
Hybrid Wars as a Security Threat in the 21st Century

The article dwells on the phenomenon of hybrid wars as the main forming factor for the system of contemporary international relations. Traditionally, this problem has been solved by military means: the best known systems of international relations of the past were created as a result of large-scale wars. Today, however, forming new systems of international relations this way is impossible. The main obstacle is nuclear weapons, able to cause catastrophic consequences in the case of a world war. Nowadays, the main instrument for achieving domination in the global arena is hybrid warfare, whose main danger is the lack of norms and rules for conducting military operations. The danger for individual states lies in the loss of cultural and civilizational identity, while for the system of international relations, in global instability due to the increasing scale and number of hybrid wars. In conclusion, the author suggests the following solutions to the problem: adopting a programme to counter hybrid wars at the level of individual states and developing common approaches to countering hybrid wars at the level of the global community. The key role in devising the global approach should be played by the United Nations. The UN charter should be supplemented with a definition of a hybrid war and methods of countering it. Moreover, a compromise needs to be reached between the West (first of all, the USA) and Russia. According to the author, this compromise is of primary importance for the military, political, cultural, ideological spheres, etc. In these areas, the opposing parties – Russia and the West – must develop a common vision of solving global problems, first of all, the problem of hybrid wars
Antip Panov from the White Sea Coast in the Historical Memory of Russian Society
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University, Pashkov Aleksandr
Published: July 2021

This article turns to the episode of the rescue of Peter I by a local peasant Antip Panov during a storm on the White Sea in June 1694 and covers its reflection in the historical memory of Russian society. This incident is confirmed by several written sources, the most valuable being the story of the Arkhangelsk merchant M.A. Mamonov retold by I.I. Golikov, which contains information about the conflict between the tsar and Panov. Until the mid-19th century, all Peter the Great’s biographers mentioned his rescue in a storm in 1694, but kept silent about the conflict. N.G. Ustryalov rejected I.I. Golikov’s information about Panov, who “boldly shouted at the terrible tsar”, considering it an “invention”. At the same time, a complex of historical legends about Panov had been formed, recorded by S.V. Maksimov in 1855. In fact, Antip Panov became one of the central figures in the historical memory of the Pomors about Peter I and his era. The 19th-century legends contain fictional details and migratory subjects. By the early 20th century, Panov had been viewed by society as both a real historical character and a folk hero. This happened because Panov was mentioned in written historical sources as well as in oral history, which after several generations was transformed into historical legends. These folk traditions have influenced regional historical descriptions as well as Russian historiography. Using the legend about the rescue of Peter I by Antip Panov as an example, the article concludes that collective historical memory is formed on the basis of oral history, which is eventually converted into historical legends, which, in turn, affect both regional historical descriptions and national historiography
Image Actualization of the First Lady Within the Framework of Image Stereotyping of the President in the Media (Exemplified by the 43rd and 45th US Presidents and Their Wives)
Authors:   North Caucasian Federal University, Gasanov Bogdan
Published: July 2021

This article aims to reveal the specifics of the actualization of the family image within the framework of image stereotyping of a politician in mass media. For several decades, mass media discourse has been paying special attention to the personal lives of political leaders and opinion leaders, satisfying the needs of readers eager to learn what they are like in everyday life and personal relationships. This study provides a definition of the concept of a politician’s communicative behaviour, shaping his speech portrait, which is to a large extent formed through the media. The speech portrait is made up of the politician’s rhetoric (either conservative or liberal) implemented in public speeches. At the same time, a politician’s image often depends on mass media, more precisely, on their attitude towards him/her, the narration about the politician’s family playing an important role in this. The empirical material of this study includes newspaper articles of the English-language periodicals The Guardian and Politico from 2009–2020, writing about the presidents Donald Trump and George W. Bush and their family members. These periodicals are of interest due to their political orientation, within the framework of which the images of these politicians and their family members are shaped. Turning to comparative analysis, the author identified the relationship between a politician’s image and the representation of his family members in the press. In addition, discourse analysis was used, logically supplemented with linguoculturological and sociopragmalinguistic modelling of communicative interaction. The research found that mass media discourse presents the politicians’ family life through the representation of their wives, often with gender stereotyping. Moreover, there is a clear process of delimiting the spouses in newspaper discourse, i.e. the image of a politician does not always affect the image of his wife, which means that they are viewed independently from each other.
