Psychological interventions for interoception in mental health disorders: A systematic review of randomised-controlled trials
Authors: Heim Nikolas , Bobou Marina , Tanzer Michal , Jenkinson Paul Mark , Steinert Christiane , Fotopoulou Aikaterini
Published: December 2022

Disturbed interoception (i.e., the sensing, awareness, and regulation of internal body signals) has been found across several mental disorders, leading to the development of interoception-based interventions (IBIs). Searching PubMed and PsycINFO, we conducted the first systematic review of randomised-controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy of behavioural IBIs at improving interoception and target symptoms of mental disorders in comparison to a non-interoception-based control condition [CRD42021297993]. Thirty-one RCTs fulfilled inclusion criteria. Across all studies, a pattern emerged with 20 (64.5%) RCTs demonstrating IBIs to be more efficacious at improving interoception compared to control conditions. The most promising results were found for post-traumatic stress disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia and substance use disorders. Regarding symptom improvement, the evidence was inconclusive. The IBIs were heterogenous in their approach to improving interoception. The quality of RCTs was moderate to good. In conclusion, IBIs are potentially efficacious at improving interoception for some mental disorders. In terms of symptom reduction, the evidence is less promising. Future research on the efficacy of IBIs is needed.
The evolution of linguistic iconicity and the cross-modal cognitive suite
Authors: Cuskley Christine , Sommer Kees
Published: December 2022

This chapter will focus on the deep evolutionary history of the cognitive capacities underlying linguistic iconicity. The complex capacity for linguistic iconicity has roots in a more general cross-modal ability present throughout the animal kingdom, cross-modal transfer. Cross-modal transfer is the ability to make basic inferences about sensory properties of an object in multiple modalities based on experience from only one. This situates iconicity as a fundamentally cross-modal phenomenon; part of a broader, uniquely human cross-modal cognitive suite which includes relatively rare phenomena like synesthesia, alongside more ubiquitous phenomena like sensory metaphor and cross-modal correspondences. Evidence suggests the evolutionarily deep capacity for cross-modal transfer was honed into more sophisticated capacities underlying iconicity by an evolutionary ratchet of increased prosociality during human self-domestication. This period provided strong selective pressures for increasingly complex cross-sensory communication, and eventually, the predominantly arbitrary symbolic systems that underpin modern human language.

Online Education as Perceived by Teachers and Students
Authors: Gautam Pitamber
Published: December 2022

The domain of formal education has now been impacted by digitized technology. The modes and manners of education have been inclined to the virtual world. The online mode of education took a radical surge in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic as an alternative resort. Nonetheless, numerous controversies and gruesome voices loomed in the academic realm due to abrupt transitioning beyond ample preparations. Nepali academia adopted virtual mode of education amidst the bewilderment. The government, as well as private agencies, seemed reserved in exploring the lived perceptions of the teachers and students. Against this backdrop, this paper has attempted to delve into the teachers' and the students' experiences; two most vital and immediate stakeholders in the pedagogical process. To address this objective, this study has adopted the phenomenological design under the qualitative research approach. The information was collected from six teachers and nine students who were involved in three distinct campuses. The purposively selected informants were interviewed and three live classes were observed to obtain valid information. The collected data were processed, analyzed, interpreted and presented into three relevant themes viz. views expressed, challenges faced and the limitations detected. The results show that the recently executed online mode of education, despite being a temporal demand of the new era, consists of numerous facets to be ameliorated. Lack of ICT training to pedagogues, recursive electric power-cut; unavailability, poor bandwidth and instability of the internet; inappropriate curricula, lack of online and offline study resources are the prime issues to be addressed by the stakeholders.
Estimación de pérdidas de suelo por erosión hídrica en tres diferentes sistemas de manejo hortícola del sur de Uruguay
Authors: Hill Mariana , Clérici Carlos , Mancassola Victoria , Sánchez Gabriela
Published: December 2022

Los principales sistemas actuales de producción hortícolas del sur de Uruguay son poco sustentables debido a problemas de erosión hídrica, lo que determina la necesidad de generación de tecnologías adecuadas para su mitigación. La Ecuación Universal de Pérdida de Suelo es una herramienta que permite estimar las pérdidas de suelo, siendo adaptada y validada para sistemas agrícolas extensivos, forestales y pastoriles en Uruguay, pero no para sistemas hortícolas. A través de la versión revisada RUSLE (Renard et al., 1997), se estimaron las relaciones de pérdida de suelo y a partir de estas, el Factor C para tres manejos diferentes. Las mediciones se hicieron en tres predios hortícolas (rotación hortícola ganadera, rotación hortícola y hortícola convencional) durante los años 2008 y 2009. El objetivo de este trabajo es generar información local para estimar las pérdidas de suelo por erosión hídrica y posibles impactos del cambio climático a causa del aumento en la erosividad promedio de la lluvia, en sistemas hortícolas tradicionales y en los sistemas propuestos por el proyecto EULA-CIAS. Se estimaron reducciones de pérdidas de suelo de 30 %, lo que significó alcanzar niveles tolerables. Se propuso la inclusión de pasturas en la rotación como una práctica que, además de disminuir la pérdida de suelo en 60 % respecto de sistemas tradicionales, permitiría la adaptación y mitigación al cambio climático debido al aumento de la erosividad promedio de la lluvia.

Published: December 2022

Postur kerja para pekerja pembelah tahu pong pada industri kecil krupuk tahu Larasta, Magelang pada umumnya termasuk kategori janggal atau tidak alamiah karena menyebabkan bagian-bagian tubuh tidak berada atau bergerak menjauhi posisi alamiah. Postur kerja janggal tersebut antara lain duduk pada kursi pendek sehingga kaki menekuk pada jangka waktu lama dan tangan menggantung karena menggunting tahu pong. Hasil wawancara awal terhadap 3 orang pekerja menyatakan bahwa mereka sering mengalami rasa sakit pada bagian punggung, pinggang, pinggul belakang, dan bahu. Kondisi ini bisa beresiko menyebabkan gangguan muskuloskeletal disorders (MSDs) yaitu gangguan pada otot skeletal karena otot menerima beban statis secara berulang dan terus-menerus dalam jangka waktu lama yang akan menyebabkan keluhan berupa kerusakan pada sendi, ligament, dan tendon. Guna menentukan jenis-jenis dan tingkat keluhan subyektif pada para pekerja, maka akan dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut agar dapat ditentukan solusi untuk mengurangi keluhan-keluhan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan untuk menganalisis postur kerja para pekerja pembelah tahu pong menggunakan Nordic Body Map (NBM) dan Rapid Entire Body Asssessment (REBA).Jumlah sampel pekerja yang dianalisis sebanyak 9 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa  punggung merupakan bagian tubuh yang sering dikeluhkan sakit oleh sampel. Frequency indeks sebesar 88,33%  dan severity indeks 26,66% yang termasuk kategori beresiko tinggi (skor 16). Selanjutnya hasil analisis dengan REBA menunjukkan bahwa skor pada posisi duduk pada dingklik adalah 8 yang termasuk kategori sangat berbahaya, dan cenderung dapat menyebabkan cedera; skor pada posisi duduk di lantai adalah 4 yang termasuk kategori beresiko rendah. Oleh karena diperlukan perbaikan terhadap fasilitas kerja agar postur kerja menjadi alamiah atau tidak janggal, sehingga pekerja menjadi nyaman dalam bekerja dan keluhan-keluhan subyektif berkurang. Perbaikan tersebut berupa penambahan bantal sebagai alas duduk pada para pekerja yang duduk di lantai. Posisi ini setelah dianalisis dengan metode REBA, diperoleh skor 2 yang berarti posisi kerja tersebut tidak berbahaya.

Authors: Gładkowska Dorota
Published: December 2022

The article uses an interdisciplinary approach to selected early modern poems of JohnDonne and aims to delineate the research area which still awaits systematic exploration.The textual analysis of his elegy: The Comparison, operating within the communicationorientedtheory of genre blending, leads to the detection of its multigeneric and dialogicpatterns. It reveals the intricate manner in which features and functions of various literaryand non-literary forms are intertwined and harmonized in one poem. It is also arguedthat Donne’s elegy derives its imagery from an experimental trend toward caricatures(grotesquery) followed by the 15th/16th-century portraitists and genre painters. The general conclusion is that Donne utilizes various, then available, communication channelsto ensure intermediality of his message and that his concept presupposes certain cognitiveand creative processes on the addressee’s side.

Model Transformatif Learning Dalam Pelatihan Aparatur Sipil Negara
Authors: Khadafi Guruh Muammar
Published: December 2022

Transformative learning merupakan proses membangun daya kritis peserta terhadap pengetahuan dan pemahaman mereka tentang perspektif yang berbeda (Bergersen & Muleya, 2019). Pembelajaran transformatif memiliki dua fokus dasar yaitu pembelajaran instrumental dan pembelajaran komunikatif. Pembelajaran instrumental berfokus pada pemecahan masalah berorientasi tugas, dan evaluasi hubungan sebab dan akibat. Sementara pembelajaran komunikatif berfokus pada bagaimana orang mengomunikasikan perasaan, kebutuhan, dan keinginan mereka. Kedua elemen ini penting dalam pembelajaran transformative, peserta pelatihan harus mampu berfokus pada jenis pemahaman mereka yang berbeda dan melihat perspektif baru yang logis dan emosional untuk menantang pemahaman mereka sebelumnya (Mezirow, 1991). Tujuan proses transformasi juga agar peserta memahami secara ilmiah fenomena yang dialaminya sendiri (Mezirow, 1991). Pemahaman saintifik menjadi tujuan utama pembelajaran, khususnya konsep pembelajaran transformatif, bahwa konsep ini mampu mengembangkan karakter, jati diri dan model mental peserta dalam pembelajaran (Mezirow, 1991; Rahmawati, 2018; Rahmawati & Ridwan, 2017). Proses pengembangan ini tentunya menjadikan potensi, karakter dan gaya belajar sebagai dasar proses transformasi tersebut (Bergersen & Muleya, 2019; Paredes, 2018).

Authors:   Research Institute of Financial Policy State Tax University, KHLIEBNIKOVA Inna
Published: December 2022

The article examines the issue of the introduction of the institution of the Entry Summary Declaration in Ukraine and reveals the peculiarities of the mechanism of its functioning. It has been established that the implementation of the procedure for the submission of the Entry Summary Declaration by carriers for passage through the customs border of Ukraine corresponds to the understanding of its tasks and place in ensuring the security of international supply chains accepted in European practice, and the provided data format fully meets the requirements of European customs legislation. The structural and logical scheme of the procedure for the passage of cargo through the customs border of Ukraine using the Entry Summary Declaration is characterized. It was concluded that the main difference between the Entry Summary Declaration in relation to other customs declarations is that the information from it is subject to processing through risk analysis for the purpose of protection and security before the goods arrive on the territory of Ukraine, and not for calculating the amount of customs payments. Based on the analysis of domestic legal acts, it was established that the implementation of such a tool in the national customs legislation is aimed at identifying batches of goods with a high degree of risk, automating customs procedures to reduce subjectivity, facilitating the work of customs officials in order to achieve greater predictability and predictability of the system customs risk management. Attention is focused on the gradual implementation by the customs authorities of format-logical control (automated verification) of the correctness of filling in the data of the Entry Summary Declaration. It was found that currently, customs authorities apply a limited number of risk profiles, in particular security risks for non-tariff regulation: goods from the Russian Federation (conducting an inspection); non-tariff methods – drugs, precursors, waste. The need for further research in the direction of the development of tools for the detection of cases of violation of customs legislation and assessment of customs risks under the Entry Summary Declaration by profiling customs risks in the automated system of customs clearance is emphasized.
PROBLEMS OF THE SOCIAL DIALOGUE DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE
Authors:   National University of Water and Environmental Engineering, SAMOLIUK Natalia
Published: December 2022

The economic shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war situation in certain types of economic activity due to the destruction of the usual communication channels and the stoppage of employment in traditional workplaces contributed to the identification of SD as an essential tool for regulating social and labour relations. This paper examines three groups of factors that hinder the effective development of social dialogue in Ukraine. It was revealed that they are caused by the peculiarities of the business environment, the imperfection of state regulation and the underdevelopment of institutional support. It has been proven that today the question of the formation of representative bodies of subjects of social and labour relations capable of fully representing the collective interests of individual social groups and capable of carrying out a productive civilized social dialogue to resolve the most pressing issues and resolve conflicts remains open. There are given some reasons that negatively affect the process of institutionalization of the parties to the social dialogue (employers and employees) and limit their opportunities, in particular: public disappointment in the efficiency and effectiveness of trade unions, a decrease in the level of trust in them; weak organizational activity regarding attracting new members to the trade union, including due to the lack of an effective trade union information system; centralization and significant politicization of the processes of creation and activity of employers’ associations; inconsistency of legislation, modern challenges, in particular, failure to take into account the real structure of enterprises in terms of size; unformed representation of employers at the level of individual industries and others. The article also argues the need to develop and implement a systematic and effective communication strategy based on digital technologies to expand cooperation and facilitate communications between employers, trade unions, and relevant state bodies to ensure tripartite dialogue.

Published: December 2022

The article explores different approaches to the definition of “e-business”. It was determined that e-business is a set of basic business processes that are formed using Internet technologies. E-business is one of the types of economic activity, which is implemented using information and communication technologies in the management of business processes, in order to obtain maximum profits. The main task of e-business is the use of modern information technology to replace old business models with new ones in order to improve the quality of the organization. Due to the modernization of old processes, the development of competition is intensified and that is why the management of any organization must respond as soon as possible to the constantly changing market situation and adapt to it accordingly or find a way out. Rapid adaptation and the ability to implement new ideas in their business processes help to improve many performance indicators of the enterprise. E-business is the common name of many of its types, so it is divided into e-commerce, e-education services, e-financial services, e-payment services, e-marketing and consulting, e-business in the field of employment and information. All these species are already formed at the moment and are developing. The article introduces the concept of e-commerce and emphasizes the difference between it and e-business. The main differences between these two concepts are given. The article also explores the means of providing business processes and the principles of forming an e-business infrastructure. Its advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses are identified using SWOT-analysis. They learned what factors hinder the development of e-business in Ukraine and suggested measures to grow this area.

Authors:   Poltava University of Economics and Trade, TKACHENKO Alina
Published: December 2022

The paper presents the results of research on organoleptic parameters, glycemic index, nutritional value and safety indicators of organic syrups. Organoleptic characteristics of syrups (taste, aroma, color and appearance) were studied by sensory analysis. Determination of glycemic index and nutritional value was carried out on the basis of analytical data by comparison. To study the content of toxic elements in the products used conventional methods: lead and cadmium were determined by the atomic absorption method, mercury – by the method of flameless atomic absorption. The objects of the study are: organic maple syrup “Maribel” 330 g (250 ml), country of production – Canada; organic agave syrup “Bio syrop z agawy” (650 g) – country of manufacture Mexico; Horizon organic rice syrup (450 g) is a country of production in the Netherlands. It was found that all the studied syrups have a pleasant taste and aroma, and the addition of organic syrups to the recipes of flour products can improve their organoleptic properties, giving an exotic flavor. Rice syrup has the highest glycemic index among the studied syrups (98). The lowest glycemic index is characterized by agave syrup (17), but such a low glycemic index is characteristic only of agave syrups of Mexican origin. The energy value of sugar and rice syrup is the same and is 396 kcal. At the same time, the lowest caloric content is a sample of maple syrup – 262 kcal. The same syrup contains the lowest amount of carbohydrates – 67.5 g / 100 g. Agave syrup contains slightly more carbohydrates – 76.37 g / 100 g. The fat content in syrups is very limited and contains 0.20 g / 100 g in maple and rice syrups, and agave syrup – 0.45 g / 100 g. The protein content of maple syrup is absent, and agave syrup and rice syrup are almost invisible – 0.09 g / 100 g and 0.60 g / 100 g, respectively. In terms of the content of heavy metal salts in syrups, the products can be considered safe. The lead content is the lowest in maple syrup (0.03 mg / kg), and the cadmium and mercury content is the same in all test samples and is 0.01 mg / kg and 0.001 mg / kg for each sample, respectively. Further research is planned to create recipes based on organic syrups and analysis of nutritional and biological value based on them.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC SYSTEM AND ITS IMPACT ON STATE REGIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY IN UKRAINE: NEW CHALLENGES AND THREATS
Authors: ZVARYCH Ihor , ZVARYCH Olena ,   Vasyl Stefanyk National University of Prykarpattia
Published: December 2022

For economic science, the process of globalization, globalization transformations and shifts is connected with the formation of a single world economic system that functions according to general rules. The beginning of the twenty-first century is marked by the regionalization of the political space of our country. Regionalism is increasingly asserting its rights as one of the most influential concepts of Western democracy. Within the framework of the European Union, there is a concept of “Europe of Regions”. Researchers pay attention to regional processes in the European space, paying tribute to the trends that are constantly developing there. Regionalism can be “administrative”, and in some cases it acquires a political character. Regionalism with a noticeable political accent, in which separatist motives play a leading role, is quite relevant for Ukraine. In our opinion, regionalism is not a unequivocally negative or destructive phenomenon, it has a rather significant potential of constructivism. This phenomenon is heterogeneous and ambiguous in the modern political history of various states. There is a need to develop a comprehensive program of state regional policy, taking into account the processes of political modernization and integration of Ukraine into the European political space.

Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, ZHELIKHOVSKA Maiia
Published: December 2022

In a globalized world characterized by technological changes, interactions between economic and social actors are crucial to exploit market opportunities and maximize resource efficiency. The digital transformation of the economy creates the prerequisites for the emergence of technological tools with fundamentally new properties, which are driven by the industrial implementation of artificial intelligence technologies, cloud computing and other innovative products. Production and logistics systems that support the life cycle of promising technical systems are also becoming active components of a single network of intelligent machines operating on the basis of Internet technologies. The problems of logistics remain relevant, because the successful functioning of any organization and its competitiveness directly depend on the competent interaction of all subsystems of the enterprise, including the logistics one. Organizations that cannot adapt to today’s information exchange and business process management requirements will find it harder to add value to their products and services. Digital transformation is a leading trend that reflects the development vector of the economy and society as a whole. The implementation of digital technologies in the logistics processes of the enterprise should be considered as an integral part of the development of the logistics system and the enterprise in general in modern conditions. The implementation of modern digital technologies in logistics activities leads to changes in business models and strategic planning; improves interaction between all participants of the logistics process; increases the productivity of activities and, as a result, increases the competitiveness of logistics enterprises in the market. In the conditions of rapid digitization, there is a need to master current delivery channels and formats, analyze big data, automate processes, implement blockchain and robots. The logistics industry is becoming one of the drivers of digitalization.

The article discusses one of the main areas in personnel management. The essence of this area is to manage the process of determining, applying, evaluating, acquiring, stimulating and developing the competencies of employees. Some authors understand as competence the formally described requirements for the personal, professional and other qualities of employees of an enterprise. In this understanding, competencies are used in evaluating personnel. Therefore, in the process of managing the enterprise’s personnel, it becomes necessary to determine the competencies of candidates for vacancies during the initial interview and hiring, to analyze and predict the possibility of their acquisition and further development by employees to meet the needs of the enterprise in personnel of the appropriate level. Some companies use only key competencies, others develop and use only managerial competencies to evaluate top managers, and some companies develop only special (technical) competencies for job groups of various departments, and only a small number of companies pay attention to personal competencies. The construction of a competency system for each position in the enterprise is considered as a tool used at all levels of work with personnel. The first and main direction, the definition of competencies necessary for the enterprise and the creation of a system of special competencies necessary for employees of the enterprise. The competency model is a complete set of competencies and behavioral indicators necessary for an employee to successfully perform his functions, manifested in relevant situations and time, for a particular enterprise with its special and individual goals, and corporate culture. A relevant direction of further research is the development and justification of the expediency of using fundamentally new motivational and communication levers and models during and after military aggression as a system for countering risks and force majeure circumstances and forming a new paradigm of sustainable development management.
