Authors: Shamara Irina , Haponenko Hanna , Yevtushenko Olena , Vygovskyi Tymur
Published: December 2024

In order to get more and more satisfaction from life, people began to turn more and more often to various types of self-knowledge, using not only scientific methods. Thus, a phenomenon has appeared in society that has become to some extent a "spiritual" trend and is the root of all world spiritual and physical practices, which includes various types of meditation - this is "retreat tourism", which implies a combination of various spiritual and physical practices in places remote from society, as a rule, where means of communication are not used. Now this direction is rapidly developing and becoming more and more relevant. Retreat tourism is a specific type of travel aimed at restoring mental and physical health, as well as enjoying the beauty of nature and cultural heritage. Ukraine, which is endowed with a variety of natural beauty and historical heritage, has the potential for the development of retreat tourism. However, to date, this direction of tourist activity in Ukraine has not received sufficient attention and consideration in scientific research. The article highlights the peculiarities of the organization of travel retreats, trends, problems and prospects for the development of retreat tourism in Ukraine in modern conditions. The main regions of the world for health tourism and retreat tourism, the types of retreats and the natural potential for the organization of travel retreats in Ukraine are analyzed. The prospects for the development of retreat tourism in Ukraine and aspects of the positive impact of retreat tourism on human psychological health are revealed. The subject of the study is the analysis of the current state, problems and prospects of the development of retro-tourism in Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to determine retreat tourism as a promising direction for the development of tourism in Ukraine. General scientific research methods are used: systematic, descriptive, comparative and structural-logical analysis. During the study, the following results were obtained: the main trends, problems and prospects for the development of retreat tourism in Ukraine were revealed. Conclusions: the feasibility of the development of retreat tourism in Ukraine and the development of the necessary infrastructure for this type of tourism in order to maximize the tourist potential of the country and create a favorable environment for meeting the needs and expectations of the target audience of customers for this type of tourism are substantiated
High-Reliability Organization and Error Experience Sharing: The Case of Air Force Pilots
Authors:   Korean Academy Of Management, Oh Seungcheol , Chang Eunmi , Kwon Jimin
Published: December 2024

In the 21st century, the approach to failure is evolving. While viewing errors or failures as negative outcomes was the norm in a stable environment, they are now considered essential elements for learning, especially as changes become more commonplace in today’s dynamic business context. Thus, managing failures effectively and harnessing their learning outcomes seem more appropriate than merely avoiding them. In this regard, High-Reliability Organizations (HROs) hold significant implications. According to prominent motivational theories like social learning theory, individuals experiencing errors may undergo negative states of deflation and reduced self-efficacy, which may lead them to conceal their error experiences and even impair their resilience. Yet, findings from HROs highlight that teams with management practices and an atmosphere that embraces failure feature members that tend to share their errors and adopt a learning-oriented approach based on their own error experiences and those of their peers. This paper empirically examines these discussions using survey data collected from 308 Republic of Korea Air Force pilots across 35 squadrons (teams). Results revealed that, although individual error experiences did not have a significant effect on error reporting and negatively impacted resilience, in teams with a high level of safety priority, members’ error experiences generated positive effects on error reporting. These findings effectively integrate motivational theories and discussions on HROs to explain both individual- and team-level phenomena, further offering practical implications for failure and error management.

ELF-EFFICACY OF COACHES OF CHILDREN'S AND YOUTH BASKETBALL TEAMS
Authors: Komotska Oksana , Sushko Ruslana
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The success of coaching activity, as is well known, demonstrates the result of students'
achievements (the place taken by the team in the relevant competitions, the number of
trained athletes in national teams of different levels and qualitative indicators of the
effectiveness of competitive activity of athletes). Particular attention should be paid to the
study of the coach's personal requirements for the effectiveness of coaching activities,
which prevents mental exhaustion of the specialist, regulates the understanding of the
efforts made in relation to the result obtained, which is determined by the self-efficacy of
the specialist. The level of confidence of the coach in the effectiveness of the educational
and training process and in the management of the competitive activity of children's and
youth basketball teams often determines their success.
The aim of the study is to to determine the level of self-efficacy of basketball coaches and to
substantiate its significance in the management of children's and youth teams.
Material and methods: analysis and synthesis of data from scientific and methodological literature
sources and informative data from the Internet, questionnaires based on the R. Schwartzler
and M. Jerusalem Self-Efficacy Scale, methods of mathematical statistics.
Results. A survey was conducted of 21 coaches of children's and youth teams that systematically
participate in the championships of the All-Ukrainian Youth Basketball League (AUYBL),
organised under the auspices of the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU). Using the
methodology for studying self-efficacy according to the ‘Self-efficacy Scale by R. Schwartz
and M. Jerusalem’, the level of confidence (beliefs) of coaches regarding their potential
ability to lead and organise training and competitive processes, which is a necessary
component of effective management of children's and youth basketball teams, is
determined.
Conclusions. An important element of the effectiveness of implementation in professional activity
is confidence in the possibility of solving the tasks in the pursuit of achieving the goal as a
component of success and, as a result, a high level of self-efficacy. Based on a questionnaire
on the five-level self-efficacy scale by R. Schwarzer and M. Jerusalem, the current state of
the level of self-efficacy of management of 21 basketball coaches of children's and youth
basketball teams of Ukraine, which systematically participate in the championships of the
All-Ukrainian Youth Basketball League (AUYBL), is determined: 7 people - high level; 13 -
above average; 1 person - low level.
Potential of remote sensing techniques for integrated spatio-temporal monitoring and analysis of drought in the Sana River basin, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Sabljić Luka , Lukić Tin , Marković Slobodan B. , Bajić Davorin
Published: December 2024

The subject of the research paper is the exploration of the potential of remote
sensing techniques for enhanced spatio-temporal monitoring and analysis of drought
impacts within the Sana River basin area in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). The aim is to
identify meteorological, hydrological, agricultural, and socio-economic drought
occurrences by processing remote sensing “products”. An integral part of this aim involves
calculating the standardized precipitation index (SPI), temperature condition index (TCI),
vegetation condition index (VCI), and vegetation health index (VHI). Meteorological
drought monitoring was carried out using the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed
Precipitation with Station Data (CHIRPS) dataset processed through the Google Earth
Engine (GEE) platform. A 42-year period (1981–2023) was compared with reference years (2016 and 2017). The occurrence of meteorological drought (lack of precipitation) was
identified, and SPI was calculated. The period with reduced precipitation and negative SPI
values during 2016 and 2017 coincided with the pattern of decreasing water levels in the
main stream of the Sana River, confirming the impact of meteorological drought on the
occurrence of hydrological drought. Agricultural drought monitoring was conducted using
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite data, namely
MOD13Q1 and MOD11A2, to calculate TCI, VCI, and VHI. The results indicate negligible
drought occurrence for 2016, while extreme agricultural drought was observed in the basin
area for 2017. The consequences of agricultural drought on the occurrence of socioeconomic drought were examined. The results show an extreme decrease in yields of wheat,
barley, corn, potatoes, pears, and plums during 2017 compared to 2016. The research
contributes to a better spatio-temporal understanding of drought phenomena, and the
presented data and results are significant for numerous practical issues related to
monitoring, mitigation, and/or prevention of negative consequences of drought in river
basin areas.

This study presents the trend analysis for a specific category of variables,
namely the average annual precipitation. The geospatial distribution of the obtained results
in Central Serbia is visualized using Geographic Information System (GIS) numerical
analysis. The primary objective of this study is to identify potential changes in the trends
of average annual precipitation within the observed area. Methodologically, the MannKendall trend test, trend equation, and trend magnitude were employed for trend analysis.
The data used for the analysis were sourced from the Meteorological Yearbooks of the
Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia, encompassing a total of 24
meteorological stations and spanning the period from 1949 to 2018. Based on the obtained
results, statistically significant positive trends were observed in 17 time series, favoring the alternative hypothesis. Conversely, a decline in precipitation was noted in the remaining 7
time series. Among the time series, the largest increases in the total amount of precipitation
over the past 69 years were recorded ont he area of the Dinaric Mountains. Conversely, the
lowest increase in average precipitation was observed in the central part od the
country.Furthermore, the time series with the greatest decrease in average annual
precipitation was recorded ont he southeastern part of the country. In order to effectively
address water-related challenges associated with precipitation fluctuations, it is essential to
gain a comprehensive understanding of the shifting trends in precipitation over the region
of Central Serbia.
REPRESENTATIONS OF FOLK TRADITIONS AND RELIGIOSITY IN THE MODERN POPULAR CULTURE (THE CASE OF FEOFAN THE NEUROMONK PROJECT)
Authors:   The Patria Center for History and Culture, Korolev Kiril M.
Published: December 2024

Nowadays in Russia, there are clearly visible signs of desecularization of the social imagination, also in the genres and practices of popular
culture and yet that desecularization is accompanied by the simultaneous
actualization of “nationality” – as a characteristic of creative work and as an
instrument of national (self-)identification. Often such a new appeal to religion and “nationality”, in all the diversity of forms, for cultural entrepreneurs
is determined, as far as can be judged by the examples of their creative work,
not at all by their own “insight”, but by the desire to present to the public some
examples of their compliance with the obvious public demand for acquiring
“spirituality”. Using a specific example from the field of popular music, an attempt is made to understand what is hidden behind the façade of a “return to
tradition” and postmodern games with religiosity in modern mass culture, how
legitimate it is to talk about the “retrotoping” (Z. Bauman) of public attitudes
and the reification through the scene of a reflective nostalgia (S. Boym) for
the conventional “golden age” of Russian history as a guideline for everyday
life, or is it more correct to talk here about the scenic incarnations of such a
phenomenon as counter-urbanization (the same as “new rurality”), when the
pre-industrial – “traditional” – way of life is imagined as form of leisure for a
modern city dweller.
STONES-NOTES ON MAXIMILIAN VOLOSHIN’S GRAVE
Authors:   N.N. Miklukho-Maklai Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Gromov Dmitrii V.
Published: December 2024

The author examines the vernacular “cult” that arose at the poet
Maximilian Voloshin’s grave (Crimea, Koktebel village). Visitors to the grave,
ascending the Kuchuk-Yenishar mountain, bring stones on which they write
messages to the poet. In these messages, Voloshin acts as a giver of benefits, he is
approached with requests for health, creation and well-being of a family, material prosperity, career success, etc. The article provides a quantitative analysis
of written appeals to Voloshin. For comparison, the author presents materials
of a similar “cult” that exists near one of the Novodevichy Convent towers in
Moscow. Those two cases have similar structures of appeals to the mythologized
sacred addressee. They differ only in particulars; that are determined by the
characteristics of the addressee, place and time of address. The requests generally
reflect the values of Russian citizens, revealed by sociological surveys; thus, the
categories of health, family values, well-being and safety of loved ones come first.
Voloshin’s grave and the tower of the Novodevichy Convent are tourist attractions. The vast majority of visitors come to them not to seek help (for example,
miraculous healing), but simply as part of leisure. When “honouring” Voloshin,
the first place is not the solution of current human issues, but gaming activity,
largely motivated by the aesthetics of what is happening.
Percepciones de docentes universitarios sobre un taller de evaluación de escritura en inglés como lengua extranjera
Authors: González Elsa Fernanda
Published: December 2024

Assessment literacy is a term that has arisen from the worldwide constant use of assessment data and the need to help teachers understand and apply assessment procedures in their language classrooms (Malone, 2013; Inbar-Lourie, 2013). It involves the theoretical knowledge of assessment, its principles and the know-how-to (Fulcher, 2012) apply them in each specific context. Specifically, the assessment of writing remains a difficult activity that English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Mexican teachers are required to conduct as a regular activity of their language teaching profession. However, these activities are carried out, most of the times, without the proper training, guidance and consideration of teachers’ needs toassure students’ assessment validity and reliability. The study explores the perceptions that 48 Mexican EFL university teachers had in relation to the effectiveness of two writing assessment training sessions provided to them in a period of twelve months. Data obtained from a background questionnaire and an online post training questionnaire suggested that half of the teacher participants did not have previous writing assessment training nor for the use of scoring tools such as analytic and holistic rubrics. Additionally, it was found that although teachers found the sessions useful and practical for their future assessment practice they considered more practice using assessment rubrics and understanding the writing assessment process was needed. Teachers’ perceptions are also analyzed regarding the perceived changes that training encouraged. It is concluded that the inexperience with writing assessment that most of the teachers stated to have may have influenced the perceptions participants reported. Implications for the language student, teacher and institution are discussed in the conclusions of the paper.

Published: December 2024

En el año 2013 se creó el Foro Bilateral sobre Educación Superior Innovación e Investigación (FOBESII) con el objetivo de promover la cooperación y la comprensión entre los Estados Unidos de América y México. La estrategia que se propuso fue utilizar la movilidad académica para lo cual se estableció el programa Proyecta 100 000 que estaría vigente de 2014 a 2018. El objetivo de este trabajo fue examinarlas percepciones de estudiantes que participaronen el programa. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio en que participaron 10 estudiantes de una universidad politécnica ubicada en el noreste de México. La información se obtuvo a través de entrevistas cualitativas. Los resultados indicaron que las percepciones de los estudiantes se enfocaron en tres aspectos del programa: (1) la calidad de la enseñanza en la universidad receptora; (2) la internacionalización; y (3) los procesos administrativos y entrega de apoyos financieros. Se encontró que el curso de inglés que los estudiantes tomaron durante la estancia académica contribuyó parcialmente al desarrollo de sus competencias lingüísticas. La estancia y convivencia con estudiantes de otras nacionalidades sensibilizó a los estudiantes respecto a otras culturas. La demora en la entrega de los recursos financieros afectó la confianza en el programa.

Cultura de paz en el derecho y la contribución de las comunidades originarias a la paz en México
Authors: López Rivas Javier Hugo
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo se presenta a la cultura de paz y su íntima relación con el derecho, particularmente el derecho a la paz como un derecho humano colectivo el cual refiere su calidad jurídica a un derecho de solidaridad o de tercera generación, aspectos estos para la edificación de relaciones pacíficas en escenarios de violencia. Teniendo como principal actor a los pueblos y comunidades originarias quienes exhiben en su haber algunos métodos y valores originarios que propugnan por la deliberación y el diálogo directo, en un proceso decidido de emancipación en la construcción de relaciones pacíficas desde tres dimensiones: una estructura axiológica; un tratamiento de respecto y reverencia al medio ambiente; y la materialización de los derechos humanos en procesos de paz. En un marco plural de modelos alternativos a las problemáticas de violencia, por lo tanto, la dinámica de este trabajo se despliega por conducto de una mirada epistémica y ontológica para tratar complejas situaciones de violencia, en lo que tiene que ver con maneras de resolver conflictos a través de su arquitectura axiológica, tradicional y epistemológica (en diferentes frecuencias), es decir, a través de un andamiaje moral, comunitario y cultural que contiene especiales dotaciones de concordia y empatía, los cuales fungen como auténticas plataformas o estructuras para edificar relaciones armónicas y pacíficas, consecuentemente, asumir el fenómeno de la paz de forma holística.

Una forma sencilla de estudiar las propiedades de la membrana celular y su interacción con otras moléculas es mediante el uso de sistemas modelo con la misma estructura básica. Estos utilizan unos pocos componentes básicos que simulan las condiciones de la membrana plasmática y se han utilizado ampliamente para estudiar las propiedades de las membranas biológicas. Entre estos sistemas modelo, podemos encontrar mono capas de Langmuir, bicapas soportadas y vesículas lipídicas. Las vesículas lipídicas son particularmente interesantes debido a que su estructura esférica imita a las membranas celulares. Entre los diferentes procedimientos para preparar GUV's (vesículas unilamelares gigantes), la electroformación destaca porque las vesículas producidas por este método son en su mayoría más grandes que 100 nm y unilamelares, lo que las hace fácilmente visibles mediante microscopía óptica convencional. Aunque existen dispositivos comerciales disponibles, generalmente se fabrican equipos personalizados de manera artesanal. Este trabajo describe el diseño y la fabricación de un dispositivo sencillo y versátil impreso en 3D para preparar vesículas lipídicas gigantes utilizando el método de electroformación. El dispositivo ha sido diseñado para fijarse en la platina del microscopio.

POSTCOLONIAL WOMEN IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION: A STUDY OF MONICA ALI’S BRICK LANE
Authors: Arzoo Zarneen
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to critically analyze postcolonial women in the age of globalization concerning the novel Monica Ali’s Brick Lane (2004). Monica Ali is a Bangladeshi-born British writer and novelist. She shows in her book the changes due to globalization that have been seen in women’s lives in third-world countries. Globalization increases the gap between the haves and have-nots. It also impacts the life of postcolonial women who belong mainly to the middle and lower class, since upper-class women are comparatively less affected and barely benefit from economic globalization as their male counterparts. Women in the third world are labourers both low-priced and employed for longer working hours than men. They are influenced negatively by economic inequalities, leading to an increased sexualization of lower and lower-middle-class Third world women. This sexual exploitation is executed at manifold levels. Hence, the paper will analyze both the negative and positive aspects associated with globalization in the life of Bangladeshi women, Nazneen and Haseena, who are sisters but living in different countries, and their economic condition as they interact with the globalized economy both within the national framework and the Diaspora community, makes a relevant case to analyze the positive or adverse impact of economic globalization on the lives of postcolonial women.
ERADICATING SUPERSTITIONS THROUGH LITERATURE: MAHASWETA DEVI AND HER LITERARY EXCELLENCE
Authors: Kumar Satyam
Published: December 2024

This essay aims to examine the short tale Witch by Mahasweta Devi from the collection Bitter Soil (1998) from an ecofeminist standpoint, emphasizing the negative impacts of extra-activism, the system of bonded labour, and the exploitation of the environment and the underprivileged. In this short narrative, Devi eloquently depicts the subjugation of the tribal society, the exploitation of the environment, the outrages, and the prejudices of tribal women. Both the British Empire's pre-independence rulers and the mediaeval ancient kings drove tribal people from their ancestral lands; post-colonial India's development initiatives, like land conversion and forest degradation, made their complaints even worse. Devi fosters ecological consciousness and the coexistence of humans and nature in the selected work. According to the article, extra-activism is a more profit-driven concept that is indifferent to the harm done to both people and the environment. It also methodically examines how the narrative Witch contributes a fresh perspective to the current ecofeminist debate, drawing on a number of Western and Indian ideas that are even more eclectic.

Published: December 2024

Jaring merupakan alat tangkap yang banyak digunakan oleh nelayan untuk menangkap ikan di perairan Indonesia. Jaring yang terbuat dari bahan sintesis lebih memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan dengan jaring yang menggunakan bahan serat alami. Namun demikian karena proses penyinaran matahari yang terjadi dalam waktu yang lama kekuatan putus (breaking strength) jaring sintetis dapat menurun. Kekuatan putus jaring mengalami penurunan karena penyinaran sinar matahari dipengaruhi oleh warna jaring. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kekuatan putus jaring yang menggunakan warna yang berbeda, menentukan pengaruh lama penyinaran terhadap kekuatan putus jaring, dan menentukan pengaruh lokasi penyimpanan terhadap kekuatan putus jaring. Penelitian ini menggunakan uji non-parametrik Kruskall-Wallis dan Mann-Whitney untuk menganalisis kekuatan putus jaring pada perlakuan yang berbeda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa warna jaring, lama penjemuran dan lokasi penyimpanan di ruang terbuka dan tertutup secara statistik signifikan berbeda nyata. Penurunan nilai kekuatan putus jaring di ruang terbuka untuk warna abu-abu, biru, merah muda, dan oranye masing-masing sebesar 80%, 78%, 89%, dan 76%. Berdasarkan hasil uji Mann-Whitney terhadap warna jaring yang berbeda disimpan di bawah sinar matahari dan disimpan pada ruang tertutup diperoleh nilai yang berbeda nyata untuk semua warna jaring. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa lokasi penyimpanan mempunyai pengaruh nyata terhadap kekuatan putus jaring.

THE REPRESENTATION OF WITCH(DOCTOR) AND SAGE IN LITERATURE AND SOCIETY
Authors:   University of South Africa, Sibusiso Hyacinth MADONDO
Published: December 2024

Establishing a relationship between the witch or witchdoctor and the sage is not immediately evident. To most modern men the witch is simply a wretched wight devoid of knowledge and insight of modern life, whereas the sage or the intellectual is the great thinker, a custodian of Western ideologies and theories who supposedly does not believe in witchcraft and even questions the existence of God. The word sage is derived from the Latin verb sapere whose other meaning is “to have a good taste”. On the contrary, when one goes back in space and time to the period referred to as “once upon a time” in fairy tales, one discovers that the witch and the sage were indivisible; in fact they were one and the same person. This is clearly evinced in the etymology of some words of Indo-European origin. In fact, the distinction between witch and sage is flimsy and transparent, sharing the same semantic area with the following words: wizard, druid, fili, wicca, sorcerer, juggler, powwow, lamia and lilith. To the modern mind it strains belief to hear that the span of the word witch has roots in the sacred domain, that of priesthood, shamanism and sainthood for example. The truth is that the sage and the witch emerged from a common past. For example, the early pre-Socratic philosophers were shamanic practitioners first and wise men second. The parting of the ways is not as clear-cut in Arabic cultures where the ulana are learned in sacred scriptures and at the same time, learned in science, thus harking back to the past when the duality between sacred and secular did not exist. The medieval alchemist, forerunner of today’s scientist, is another case in point; and of course it is well-known that in many old cultures the priest class or caste were not only repositories of religious authority and initiated into sacred mysteries, but living repositories of all forms of specialised knowledge, including the art of writing. Acknowledged philosophers and writers among which Virgil, Shakespeare, Hugo, Apollinaire also write about it.
BALKAN MAGICAL REALISM: A EUROPEAN LITERARY NETWORK
Authors:   Universitatea „Lucian Blaga” din Sibiu/ “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, Alina Bako
Published: December 2024

The present discussion focuses on a reconfiguration influenced by regional space, incorporating concepts such as ‘magical realism.’ Various narrative forms that fulfill specific criteria have been analyzed to elucidate the framing of fiction under the encompassing paradigm of this perspective. Our thesis posits that magical realism has become indigenized within the Balkan context, resulting in fiction that carries distinct national and transnational implications. A particularly relevant example used to illustrate the viability of Balkan World Literature is Danilo Kiš’s work, specifically Encyclopaedia of the Dead, alongside Ștefan Bănulescu’s Book of Metopolis, which collectively provide a comprehensive analysis of the Balkan literary tradition. This exploration begins with an interregional and transnational dialogue that yields significant transformations in analytical domains such as “magical realism”.
REALITY AND FICTION – COORDINATES OF THE PROSE OF MARIO VARGAS LLOSA
Authors:   Speculum Center for the Study of the Imaginary  1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, Liliana DANCIU
Published: December 2024

The human condition within the context of social reality and history, and individual destiny in relation to moral and religious norms imposed at the collective level, are major themes that in Mario Vargas Llosa’s work become sources of intense narrative and interpersonal conflict. According to the Peruvian writer, an individual's happiness is perpetually constrained by the normative aspects of society, whose purpose is to prevent them from fully realizing their inner potential. This limitation leads to discontent, rebellion, and inevitable revolt aimed at overturning power structures. Literature, dreams (reverie), and eroticism represent some surreal dimensions through which individuals can escape and experience the pleasure of complete freedom.
Reality and fiction are two coordinates that, within the tangible geography of Latin America and the creative imagination of its writers, cannot be easily distinguished. Since myth, legend, and history are indistinguishable in the human consciousness of referential reality, they are even less separable within the chronotope of fictional imagination. This article explores the intertwining of these spatio-temporal and existential coordinates by analysing several representative narratives by Mario Vargas Llosa, including Eulogy of the Stepmother, The Wanderings of the Reckless Girl, and The War of the End of the World. Although the characters in these novels may come from the realm of ordinary people, they are far from ordinary. Their exceptional destinies are marked by a profound interiority, characterized by fantastical, complex, and obsessive projections; an exacerbated desire to transcend their condition arbitrarily assigned at birth; an impulse to control others; and, conversely, a drive to overthrow externally imposed power or authority. These traits imbue the destinies of Vargas Llosa’s characters with a distinctly tragic dimension.
