A Cloned Antigen (Recombinant K39) of Leishmania donovani Diagnostic for Visceral Leishmaniasis in Human
Authors: Rahi Abdulsadah A.
Published: January 2024

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala-azar is caused by an intracellular protozoan parasite of the Leishmania donovani complex and is considered as one of the most neglected diseases.To detect IgG antibody in the serodiagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a recombinant antigen rK39, which is part of a Leishmania donovani kinesin-related protein, has been used successfully and showed high sensitivity and specificity. The rK39 dipstick showed a sensitivity of 95% (95 positive samples among 100 from VL patients) .The total human patients involved in this study were 100 divided into four age groups . Kala-azar infection found among children under one year old of the patient groups 60 (60 %).This higher rate than the other age groups which was began to decrease reaching to(1%) in age more than 40 years of age groups . Males were high infected 62 % (62/100) than females 38% (38/100)in patient groups Therefore, the ratio of male / female was 1.6 / 1.

Blinded by Out-group Hatred. Why does Radical Party Entry Reduce its Voters’ Satisfaction with Democracy?
Authors: Canalejo-Molero Álvaro , Le Corre Juratic Morgan
Published: January 2024

This paper examines why the electoral breakthrough of radical parties further reinforces democratic dissatisfaction among their voters. Against the prevailing utilitarian framework, we argue that an affective response to the out-group instead of the in-group party results better explains changes in democratic evaluations under growing affective polarization. To evaluate our theory, we combine observational, experimental and qualitative evidence from a sample of Éric Zemmour voters, the emerging radical right candidate who disrupted the 2022 French elections. Our findings confirm that Zemmour voters became the least satisfied with democracy after the elections and provide evidence of a negative affective response to the out-group (Macron) win as the driving mechanism. The qualitative analysis confirms the causal path from negative feelings toward the winner to questioning the democratic system. Contrary to representation theories, our paper suggests that the institutional inclusion of marginalized political groups may only exacerbate dissatisfaction in highly polarized electoral contexts.
The Guardian State: Strengthening the Public Service against Democratic Backsliding
Authors: Yesilkagit Kutsal , Bauer Michael , Peters B. Guy , Pierre Jon
Published: January 2024

This article addresses the vulnerability of liberal democracy to illiberal political movements and the gradual erosion of democratic institutions. While free and fair elections are central to democracy, backsliding politicians can exploit them to legitimate their undemocratic actions. To safeguard liberal democracy, we propose the concept of the Guardian State, which embraces liberal principles while acting as a defensive barrier against illiberal tendencies. This requires strong administrative institutions, i.e., an empowered civil service that upholds liberal democratic norms and resists pressures from populist politicians. Institutionalizing guardianship as the key norm within the civil service fortifies democratic institutions against backsliding. It acknowledges the challenges posed by the principle of neutrality, which cannot ensure that only liberal citizens come to power. Structural measures at the individual and organizational levels are essential to fortify the foundations of the Guardian State and protect liberal democracy against evolving threats. We conclude that proactive efforts are necessary to defend and strengthen the public service to ensure the long-term viability of democratic governance. The Guardian State, then, rooted in liberal democratic values, provides a framework for protecting against illiberal and authoritarian forces, and places the bureaucracy in a key role in preserving the core principles of democracy.
Using natural language processing to characterize word frequency by modality: Introducing the Templex Spoken English Word Frequency Dataset
Authors: Finley Ann Marie
Published: January 2024

It is well established that how often we encounter a word (i.e., its frequency) influences how quickly we recognize and respond to that word (Brysbaert et al., 2018; Gorman, 1961; Monsell et al., 1989). In recent decades, advances in computing power have lowered barriers surrounding the collection and analysis of spoken language data. In this paper, we used one such advance, natural language processing, to derive word frequency data from a large spoken English corpus representative of a variety of communicative contexts and topics. We provide an overview of the selection, cleaning, and processing steps used to create a 110,168 spoken word frequency dataset, hereafter termed Templex. To examine modality-based differences in word frequency, we contrasted Templex with a homogenously-created dataset of written English word frequencies. We hypothesized that word frequency distributions would vary by modality. Specifically, we predicted that: 1) compared to written English, spoken English would contain a greater proportion of high-frequency to low-frequency word types; 2) the proportion of word types that appear in both datasets relative to the word types that appear in only one dataset will be smaller for written than for spoken English; and 3) modality-based discrepancies in word frequency measures will be greater for low-frequency than high-frequency words. We found that across genres and contexts, word frequency distributions differed between speaking and writing. We report qualitative and quantitative differences in the vocabularies of written vs. spoken English and close by discussing the application of modality-specific word frequencies in applied and research settings.
The Development of Real-Time Spoken and Word Recognition Derives from Changes in Ability, not Maturation
Authors: Kutlu Ethan , Klein-Packard Jamie , Jeppsen Charlotte , Tomblin Bruce , McMurray Bob
Published: January 2024

In typical adults, recognizing both spoken and written words is thought to be served by a process of competition between candidates in the lexicon. In recent years, work has used eye?tracking in the visual world paradigm to characterize this competition process over development. It has shown that both spoken and written word recognition continue to develop through adolescence (Rigler et al., 2015). It is still unclear what drives these changes in real?time word recognition over the school years, as there are dramatic changes in language, the onset of reading instruction, and gains in domain general function during this time. This study began to address these issues by asking whether changes in real-time word recognition derive from changes in overall language and reading ability or reflect more general age-related development. This cross-sectional study examined 278 school-age children (Grades 1-3) using the Visual World Paradigm to assess both spoken and written word recognition, along with multiple measures of language, reading and phonology. A structural equation model applied to these ability measures found three factors representing language, reading, and phonology. Multiple regression analyses were used to understand how these three factors relate to real-time spoken and written word recognition as well as a non-linguistic variant of the VWPintended to capture decision speed, eye-movement factors, and other non-language/reading differences. We found that for both spoken and written word recognition, the speed of activating target words in both domains was more closely tied to the relevant ability (e.g., reading for written word recognition) than was age. We also examined competition resolution (how fully competitors were suppressed late in processing). Here, spoken word recognition showed only small, developmental effects that were only related to phonological processing, suggesting links to developmental language disorder. However, in written word recognition, competitor resolution showed large impacts of development which were strongly linked to reading. This suggests the dimensionality of real-time lexical processing may differ across domains. Importantly, neither spoken nor written word recognition is fully described by changes in non-linguistic skills assessed with non-linguistic VWP, and the non-linguistic VWP was linked to differences in language and reading. These findings suggest that spoken and written word recognition continue past the first year of life and are mostly driven by ability and not only by overall maturation.
Towards an interdisciplinary ‘science of the mind’: a call for enhanced collaboration between philosophy and neuroscience
Authors: Buccella Alessandra , Maoz Uri , Mudrik Liad
Published: January 2024

In recent decades, the neuroscientific community has moved from describing the neural underpinnings of mental phenomena – as characterized by experimental psychology and philosophy of mind – to attempting to redefine those mental phenomena based on neural findings. Nowadays, many are intrigued by the idea that neuroscience might provide the ‘missing piece’ that would allow philosophers (and, to an extent, psychologists, too) to make important advances, generating new means that these disciplines lack to close knowledge gaps and answer questions like ‘What is Free Will? and ‘Do humans have it?’. In this paper, we argue that instead of striving for neuroscience to replace philosophy in the ongoing quest to understanding human thought and behavior, more synergetic relations should be established, where neuroscience does not only inspire philosophy but also draws from it. We claim that such a collaborative co-evolution, with the two disciplines nourishing and influencing each other, is key to resolving long-lasting questions that have thus far proved impenetrable for either discipline on its own.
Overt Consequences of Covert Actions: Success, Failure, and Voters’ Preferences for Legislative Oversight

A growing literature in political science examines the tension between secrecy and accountability as democratic leaders conduct foreign affairs. However, this literature presents a puzzle: while observational work shows that leaders make efforts to avoid getting caught, experimental work demonstrates that the public does not have an aversion to leaders acting secretly. What, then, are the electoral costs of acting covertly? To demonstrate the electoral costs of covert operations, we study voters’ reactions to legislative oversight of covert operations, not their reactions to the operation itself. Using a preregistered and well-powered survey experiment with a 2 × 2 factorial design, we show that the legislators’ audience (their in-party voters) overwhelmingly prefers public investigations into covert operations when the operation fails. When the operation succeeds, though, their preferences are much weaker. This dynamic has important implications for foreign policy—the president cannot take necessary risks in protecting the national interest and the investigations harm the country’s international reputation.
Social Inclusion for Older Persons and Human Rights Law. The Potential for Universal and European Instruments
Authors: Mikołajczyk Barbara
Published: January 2024

Global ageing is a challenge to human rights law as older people are far more vulnerable to a range of social, economic and political barriers that effectively exclude them from mainstream society. Thus, this book proposes a model of how to improve national ageing policies internationally by changing the current paradigm in the perception of older persons from passive receivers of care and assistance to active contributors to society. The author points to the need to improve the visibility of older persons internationally, promotes the idea of a treaty on their rights, and identifies areas where states and non-state actors can positively influence their social inclusion at the national level.

Authors: Aydinova Angelika , Ivashova Valentina
Published: January 2024

Introduction. Due to the increasing restrictions in the socio-economic sphere, ensuring the country's import independence is becoming increasingly important. Scientists and government agencies argue that small-scale farming can play an important role in ensuring food security. They have a significant potential to increase the production of agricultural products, provide themselves with food and contribute to the sustainable development of rural areas. Therefore, conducting research in information and analytical support, as well as popularization of regional farming in rural areas is of great importance. Methods. In this study, empirical research methods were used, including statistical data analysis, a sociological survey and a sample study. The IBM SPSS program was used to process the results. Results. As part of the study, digital tools designed to support farms were developed. They include an interactive database and information and analytical resource “Farms of the Stavropol Territory”. Conclusions. On the basis of the proposed digital technologies, interaction with the farming community will be improved on a single information platform. The resource may provide quick answers to questions and advices that farmers need, as well as information-based decisions to support their activities.

Authors: Zvyaginsteva Olga
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The aim of this article is to describe the process of transforming agricultural education under the influence of prospects and trends in the development of the agricultural sector, including its digitization. To achieve this goal, it is important to analyze the existing system of training specialists for agriculture. Methods. To do this, works published in scientific journals were used to identify problematic areas, which were further examined as opportunities for development. Results. Digital competencies necessary for specialists in agriculture were identified and grouped. Then, a model for developing digital competencies was developed based on the level of digital literacy of the specialist and the depth of their knowledge and skills in the digital field. The model is considered at various levels, and the necessary sufficiency of competencies at each level is determined. The digital competencies necessary for workers in the agricultural sector of the economy are described using a mind map, which allowed for the systematic organization of competencies across various areas of study, including agricultural engineering, agronomy, biotechnology, veterinary medicine, and ecology. Conclusions. The presented model and mind map of digital competencies can be used for the development of educational programs in the corresponding fields of study, stimulating students and engaging them in activities aimed at developing digital competencies.
Police Time: Equiano, Blackness, and Custody
Authors: Venkata Kaushik Tekur
Published: January 2024

Olaudah Equiano’s Interesting Narrative (1789) highlights the role that police power plays in restricting Black people from accessing “liberal time,” a conception of temporality that is teleological and invests individuals with potential for growth and development. The literary component of this temporality is the genre of autobiography and Bildungsroman. I argue that police power, through careful regulation of Black bodies and their relation to time and narration, make liberal time possible. Episodes in Equiano’s narrative draw attention to this regulation, which I call “police time”: a conception of temporality that sees Blackness as devoid of history, a vagrant emptiness that is capable of disrupting the liberal order and its “peace,” and hence needs to be “suspended.” Building on Equiano scholarship about autobiography, the possible fabrication of his own past, and police power, I read Equiano’s narrative as confronting police time and trying to fill the void that police see in his Blackness with a history instead.
Anti-Black Racism, British Orientalism, and the Ottoman Empire: Rereading The Turkish Embassy Letters
Authors: Camoglu Arif
Published: January 2024

This essay reads Mary Wortley Montagu’s The Turkish Embassy Letters (1763) as an entry point for an investigation of the entwinement between the British anti-Black racial consciousness and orientalist rhetoric concerning the Ottoman Empire. Montagus racially marked depictions of women in Ottoman lands not only reveal the limits of her capacity to identify and sympathize with the oriental other, but also prompt a wider scrutiny of the anti-Black racial rhetoric that percolates through eighteenth-century British orientalist narratives about the Ottoman Empire.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Integration of soft skills components in clinical evaluation is essential for undergraduate nursing students. However, soft skills are a prerequisite for increasing confidence in providing services to patients. As future health professionals, these students must develop a complete set of competencies that go beyond technical competence. This paper is a report of a review conducted to identify, critically analyse and synthesize the integration of soft skills components in clinical evaluation for undergraduate nursing studentsMethods: A comprehensive literature search was carried out using databases EBSCO, ProQuest Dissertation and Theses, ProQuest Nursing Journal. An inclusion and exclusion criterion were identified. A narrative review of evidence- and non-evidence-based papers was conducted, using a relevant methodological framework with additional scrutiny of secondary data sources in the latter.Results: A total of 787 papers were identified, with 43 fully sourced and 17 included in the final review. There are three themes, which also provide a comprehensive understanding of the definition of soft skills component, the importance of soft skills among nursing students, and the outcomes and implications of soft skills in clinical assessment. Conclusion: Soft skills need to be incorporated into the nursing curriculum. The integration of soft skills elements in clinical skills assessment can improve the quality of nursing graduates and improve the quality of care and safety for patients.
When Things Go Wrong: A Qualitative Study of Nursing Students' Views of Clinical Mistakes
Authors: Rosli Razanah , Zolkefli Yusrita
Published: January 2024

Background: The hospital environment is frequently perceived by students as both dynamic and complex. Thus, clinical mistakes are considered inevitable and have adverse patient outcomes. The study explored nursing students' insights and experiences of mistakes in their clinical practice.
Methods: The study adopted an exploratory qualitative research design with a sample of 11 nursing students from a higher institution in Brunei Darussalam. Data was collected through semi-structured online interviews with seven open-ended questions.
Results: The study identified three key themes: the interpretation of clinical mistakes, perceived concern about clinical mistakes and the support required by students. This study emphasised the importance of effective communication, a nurturing educational setting, and reflective practice on clinical mistakes to enhance nursing students' professional development.
Conclusion: The findings of the study suggest that nursing students had an understanding of the negative implications associated with clinical mistakes. According to the students, the act of making mistakes is perceived to be valuable for both personal and professional development. Effective supervision, cultivating a constructive rapport, and developing trust make it possible to prevent clinical mistakes. Furthermore, the students emphasised the need to cultivate confidence, as it directly impacts their clinical proficiency. Therefore, a greater priority on patient safety should be incorporated into the curriculum to improve the management and prevention of clinical mistakes. Particular attention should also be paid to enhancing clinical learning through strengthened supervision by both supervisors and nurse educators. Most importantly, students must be able to recognise their responsibility to employ a proactive learning strategy to ensure patient safety and the efficacy of their clinical practicum.

Features of mnemic activity in children with ZPR: results of an experimental study
Authors: Bykova Olga Nikolaevna , Sugoniaka Elena Mikhailovna
Published: January 2024

The purpose of the study is to identify the features of mnemic activity as part of its structural components in older preschool children with mental retardation. Tasks: to identify typical and individual features of the development of mnemic activity in children with mental retardation in comparison with their normally developing peers; to identify specific features in the development of indicators of each structural component of mnemic activity in children developing normally and with mental retardation. The hypothesis of the study: mnemic activity as part of its structural components in 5-6-year-old children with mental retardation is characterized by specific features in comparison with normatively developing children. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature on the research problem, ascertaining experiment, quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data obtained, methods of their interpretation. Results of the study: the paper presents a comparative characteristic of the features of mnemic activity as part of its three components: motivational, target, operational and technical in children 5-6 years old with ZPR and their peers of the normative variant of ontogenesis. It has been established that children aged 5-6 years with mental retardation have a lower level of MD compared to normative preschoolers. In the structure of mnemonic activity, the “leading” component is the motivational one: preschoolers with mental retardation exhibit a stable, emotionally positive attitude towards accepting the task and the content of the mental activity. The target component is characterized by a lack of understanding of the meaning of the activity being carried out, as well as the mnemonic task itself, the inability to independently accept and maintain the goal of remembering, extremely low values of the volume of reproduced information. The operational and technical component of this type of activity is very weak: there is a dominance of mnemonic techniques of a mechanical nature, or their absence, as well as poor awareness of them, making a large number of errors during reproduction, lack of independence in performing the proposed tasks, turning to an adult for help in the process of control and MD assessments, or refusal of activities.
COMMUNITIES OF POTAMION MILJAN 1933 UNION ON THE TERRITORY OF NATIONAL NATURE PARK «РYRIATYNSKYI»
Authors: Kovalenko О. , Kalista М.
Published: January 2024

The communities of higher aquatic plants of National Nature Park (NPP) “Pyriatynskyi” have a high level of cenotic diversity, occupy large areas and ensure the sustainability of the ecosystem of the Uday River valley. Their inventory, classification and study of the structure are important for the development of effective protection measures and that is an urgent task of modern botany.

We have investigated the plant communities of Potamion union (class Potametea Klika in Klika et Novak 1941, order Potametalia Koch 1926) on the territory of NPP “Pyriatynskyi” in 2012–2022 by carrying out the geobotanical descriptions within their natural boundaries. Projective coverage was recorded as a percentage with subsequent transformation into points. Their further processing was carried out by the capabilities of the JUICE software package. The nomenclature of syntaxons was consistent with the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature.

The results of research showed that Potamion union on the territory of NPP “Pyriatynskyi” is represented by 7 associations: Potametum natantis Hild 1959, Potametum graminei Lang 1967, Potametum lucentis Hueck 1931, Potametum perfoliati Miljan 1937, Elodeetum сanadensis Nedelcu 1967, Potamo pectinati–Myriophylletum spicati Rivas Goday 1967 and Potametum crispi von Soό 1927.

Phytocoenoses of Potametum crispi, Potametum perfoliati, and Potametum natantis associations are the background communities of higher aquatic vegetation, while Potametum graminei and Potametum lucentis are rare in the studied area and do not occupy significant areas. Elodeetum sanadensis community is a reservoir for the spread of an invasive adventive species of North American origin Elodea canandensis with the ability to naturalize in natural ecosystems.

Monitoring of their structure, chorology and dynamics is an important task for maintaining and preserving the species and coenotic diversity of NPP “Pyriatynskyi”.

BIODIVERSITY OF INSECT DENDROBIONTS IN FOREST SHELTERBELTS OF THE NORTHERN FOREST-STEPPE OF UKRAINE
Authors: Vagalіuk L. , Rybalko М.
Published: January 2024

On the basis of a high level of biodiversity, a structural and functional organization of the living matter of the biosphere and its components is created, which determines the stability and resistance of the latter to external influences. It is known that biodiversity provides extremely important functions of ecosystems, which in turn provide the entire planet with oxygen, clean air and water. It is worth noting that plant pollination, pest control, wastewater treatment and many other types of ecosystem services are also considered functions that ensure a high level of biological diversity.

It is known that on the territory of Ukraine in the XX century. more than 25,000 species of insects were known. Insects have one of the main ecological functions, namely the role in the circulation of matter, energy and information, which ensures ecological stability. Insects also play a leading role in the functioning of ecosystems, occupying the main areas of the planet. Until recently, the role and significance of biodiversity in modern agriculture was not actually investigated. Currently, it is not known exactly how many species of insects live in agricultural landscapes, but according to leading experts, at least two-thirds of the total entomofauna of the country. Taking into account the environmental factors that pose a threat to biodiversity, it is extremely important to study the state and natural dynamics of the insect fauna, as well as to develop measures to preserve the species biodiversity of Ukrainian landscapes.

An assessment of the state of biodiversity of dendrobiont entomofauna of the Northern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine during the growing seasons of 2021-2022 was carried out. It was established that the entomocomplex of dendrobionts includes 550 species belonging to 50 families from 8 orders. Taking into account the factors that pose a threat to biodiversity, it is extremely important to study the state and natural dynamics of the insect fauna, and to develop measures to preserve the species biodiversity of agro-landscapes of Ukraine.

Authors: ÖNGEN Atakan , MERCAN Şeyma
Published: January 2024

The main challenge facing the globe is the rapid increase in population, energy consumption, and waste production. As a result, gasification might be regarded a favorable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution to this issue. In this study was carried out using an updraft fixed bed circulating gasifier transforming refuse derived fuel (RDF) into syngas. It was employed at 700°C, 800°C, and 900°C with a dry air rate of 0.05 l/min. The effect of temperature on syngas, which is the product of gasification, was observed. The maximum heating value of produced syngas was observed about 2900 kcal/m3 at 900 ˚C. As a result of the gasification process; conducted under optimum conditions, the concentrations of H2, CH4, CO were found to be approximately 45, 20, and 20 %, respectively. In conclusion, the gasification process is a suitable method for obtaining high-quality syngas from RDF materials that has a high calorific value.
Electrical and electronic wastes in the world and Türkiye: policies and practices in Türkiye and some recommendations
Authors: AKYÜZ Ali Özhan , KUMAŞ Kazım
Published: January 2024

All of the electrical and electronic products that no longer work, are unwanted, or have expired are called electronic waste or e-waste. Computers, televisions, mobile phones, fax machines, and printers make up the majority of this waste. So why are these wastes harmful? The recycling of end-of-life products is not only an ecologically necessary issue supported by regulations but also economically interesting because of the use of raw materials and reduced costs. Therefore, electronic waste (e-waste) is now seen as a serious raw material source rather than waste, as it includes materials that have a chance of secondary use as well as recyclable materials. The problem of electronic waste in the world is not separate from the problem of electronic waste in Türkiye. The global electronic waste problem is a whole made up of parts. E-waste is a subject that needs to be read and analyzed from a holistic perspective in Türkiye and the world.

In this study, what has been done about e-waste in the world and Türkiye, numerical information is given in detail. Various solution proposals have been tried to be proposed in terms of the e-waste problem in Türkiye.
Investigation of tribological analysis of safflower oil and 15W40 engine lubrication oil and their blends
Authors: SERGEK Buse , ÖZÇELİK Abdullah Engin
Published: January 2024

In this study, 15W40 engine oil and Safflower oil were blended at 10% (A10), 20% (A20), 50% (A50) ratios. A total of 5 lubrication oil samples were obtained by adding the samples of pure safflower oil (A100) and lubrication oil with no safflower (A0). Viscosity and density tests of A100, A50, A20, A10 and A0 samples were carried out. Wear diameter test was performed on a four-ball testing machine to examine wear and friction properties, and welding load test was performed to examine extreme pressure properties.

We also had a study in the safflower oil industry where it can be used as an engine oil additive, especially in internal combustion engines. Since safflower oil is of vegetable origin, its use in engine oils will be environmentally friendly.

As a result of the examinations, it was determined that as the safflower ratio in the samples increased, the performance increased in terms of viscosity under cold working conditions. When the wear and friction performance was evaluated, it was concluded that there was an improving performance in 15W40 engine oil in A10, A20 and A50 samples in which safflower was used as an additive. When these samples were evaluated in terms of performance, there was little variation between them. For this reason, it is concluded that when Safflower is used as an additive in general, it exhibits positive performance in wear and friction performance. Considering that bio-lubricants are environmentally friendly, it can be said that the A50 sample is the most suitable lubrication oil among the samples, since it contains more vegetable oil than other samples.

As a result of this study, it is seen that the use of Safflower oil as an additive in engine oil is a positive result in terms of improving and clean environment.

Published: January 2024

Public transportation provides its services to both urban centers and neighboring areas in the immediate vicinity of the city. The problem of urban transportation is evident, the number of people willing to use public transportation has decreased. Therefore, there is a need to delve into the issue and conduct an analysis of the demand for urban transportation in Poland in 2000-2030, this will allow us to assess in what direction urban transportation is heading, whether there is an increase in the number of people using it, or whether there is a downward trend (Zielińska 2018).
Based on CSO statistics from 2009-2020 for the analysis of demand for public transportation in Poland, a forecast of people using public transportation was conducted using Statistica software for 2021-2030. Due to the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, the study was conducted in 2 ways – with and without 2020.
Public transportation will make less and less profit and even losses for the next few years through rising gasoline and energy prices. Virtually in each of the provinces, and likewise throughout Poland, a decline in the number of people willing to use public transportation is evident. conclusions.
On the basis of the surveys carried out, there is a general trend that shows the current state of public transport. In most of the cases studied, a similar conclusion emerges, namely that public transport will experience a marked decline in the coming years. The number of people who want to use public transport will decrease, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and people’s fears for their own safety.
Power And Identity In Taylor Swift's Song, 'Look What You Made Me Do': A Deconstructive Analysis
Authors: Khurshid Rida , Farid Aisha
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we analyze Taylor Swift's song 'look what you made me do' using Derrida's deconstructive approach to identify hidden meanings and assumptions and explore the role of language in shaping them. We examine the lyrics to detect specificities that reveal tensions or contradictions within the text, using language and symbolism to deconstruct societal power dynamics and hierarchies. The lyrics suggest that the speaker is a victim forced to take certain actions, and the video features multiple versions of Taylor Swift, implying that her identity is fluid and constantly evolving. By employing deconstructive techniques such as repetition and intertextuality, Swift creates a sense of instability and ambiguity that encourages listeners to question their assumptions and think critically about how power operates in our society. This complex and multilayered song challenges traditional understandings of power, agency, and identity.

На фоні активного розвитку інформаційних систем та збільшення вимог до них зростає різноманітність методів їх проектування, аналізу та технічної реалізації. Дослідження в даному напрямку проводяться досить широкі, а тому виникає все більше найрізноманітніших аспектів, які слід вивчити. Однак, попри велику кількість тем та проблем, які вивчаються, їх можна умовно поділити на дві категорії: технічні та теоретичні. До першої групи, як правило, відносяться дослідження, пов’язані з розробкою технічного забезпечення інформаційних систем. Попри це, не менш важливими є проблеми більш теоретичного характеру, які, в свою чергу, вивчають задачі оптимального розміщення та розподілу засобів, встановлення їх кількості, надійності системи, тощо.

Одним із найбільш актуальних напрямків дослідження в цій сфері є оцінка різних критеріїв та показників функціональної стійкості системи. Під функціональною стійкістю розуміють можливість системи бодай частково виконувати основні функції на фоні негативного впливу ззовні. До основних її показників відносять так звану ймовірність зв’язності, яка представляє собою ймовірність обміну повідомленнями між абонентами мережі. На фоні цього розроблено ряд як точних, так і наближених методів обрахунку цієї ймовірності. Однак, кожен з них має свої переваги та недоліки, а тому постає питання в їх порівнянні.

Особливий практичний інтерес виникає навколо того питання, який краще використовувати складніший, але точний метод обрахунку ймовірності передачі даних між абонентами чи простіший, але наближений? З цією метою в даній роботі проводиться порівняльний аналіз відомих методів, а саме методу повного перебору та методу Литвака-Ушакова. Наведено загальну їх суть та на конкретному прикладі демонструється їх використання. Розглянуто їх переваги та недоліки по відношенню один до одного та робиться загальний висновок щодо специфіки їх застосування.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ РОЗВИТКУ ІНКЛЮЗИВНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ МАЙБУТНІХ ВИХОВАТЕЛІВ ЗАКЛАДІВ ДОШКІЛЬНОЇ ОСВІТИ

Published: January 2024

В статті розкрито особливості розвитку інклюзивної культури майбутніх вихователів закладів дошкільної освіти. За результатами аналізу наукових джерел інклюзивну культуру майбутніх вихователів закладів дошкільної освіти потрактовано як інтегративну якість особистості, що проявляється в толерантному ставленні до вихованців і передбачає визнання цінності відмінностей усіх дітей, враховуючи потреби кожного з них, та стимулює усіх учасників освітнього процесу до співпраці і взаємодопомоги.

Закцентовано, що випускники закладів дошкільної освіти мають бути готовими до створення освітнього середовища, що визнає інтелектуальний досвід та психологічні особливості кожного вихованця, вимагає забезпечення фізичного доступу, можливостей для оптимального навчання та соціального досвіду, а також створення сприятливого клімату та підкреслено важливість інклюзивної освіти як шляху до скорочення соціальної ізоляції дітей з особливими потребами.

Визначено компоненти інклюзивної культури майбутніх вихователів закладів дошкільної освіти: мотиваційно-потребнісний, ціннісно-смисловий та поведінково-вольовий.
A vivência em dança na formação de professores
Authors: Ferreira Luciana Haddad , Takahachi Victoria Ramos
Published: January 2024

O presente estudo, de caráter narrativo, se insere no campo da formação docente, com foco na educação estética. Lançamos olhar para a troca de cartas realizada entre estudantes do curso de Pedagogia de uma universidade pública do sudeste, que reconhecem como um ponto de convergência em seus processos formativos a prática cotidiana de dançar. Tendo como objetivos de pesquisa identificar e compreender as possíveis contribuições da prática em dança para a formação docente e refletir sobre a educação estética como produtora de sentidos do ser professora, tomamos as cartas trocadas e outros registros narrativos, complementares a elas, como objetos de estudo. As análises, realizadas em diálogo com os princípios da teoria Histórico-Cultural, evidenciam a vivência em dança como processo que gera desenvolvimento e ampliação do estado de consciência da professora. As narrativas apontam para a dança como: forma de expressão; processo de criação; percepção de si e do outro. A pesquisa aponta para a urgência de se pensar em práticas formativas de educação estética, que se pautem na arte e em formas sensíveis de aproximação da realidade, que valorizem os contextos, as trajetórias de vida e os saberes produzidos coletivamente.
