Published: January 2021

Assessment is a crucial aspect of education. A critical point in the evaluation is the validity of the instruments used in conducting the assessment. However, some studies do not pay more attention to this section, which results in the invalid results of the resulting research. This study aimed to map the indicators of the Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of mathematics students and analyze their existence as components of the instruments. The subjects were 203 senior high school students of science, Manokwari, Indonesia. Test instruments that involved five critical and four creative thinking were used to measure students' HOTS. The data was analyzed using multidimensional scaling (MDS) to map the indicators. The results showed that the five indicators of critical thinking skills form a unified distribution pattern, while the four indicators of creativity tend to spread. Therefore, each indicator used has a unique contribution in explaining the HOTS of mathematics students. Abstrak Penilaian atau evaluasi merupakan aspek penting dari pendidikan. Titik kritis dalam evaluasi adalah validitas instrumen yang digunakan dalam melakukan penilaian. Namun, sejumlah penelitian tidak fokus memperhatikan bagian ini, yang berakibat pada hasil penelitian yang tidak valid. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan indikator Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) matematika siswa dan menganalisis keberadaannya sebagai komponen penting pada suatu instrumen. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 203 siswa SMA IPA di Manokwari, Indonesia. Instrumen tes yang melibatkan lima indikator berpikir kritis dan empat indikator berpikir kreatif digunakan untuk mengukur HOTS siswa.

The aim of the current study is to investigate the psychometric properties of Authenticity in Relationships Scale (AIRS) developed by Lopez and Rice (2006) in Turkish sample. The study carried out with 263 undergraduate students that were included with purposive sampling method. To examine the construct validity of AIRS, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. The results showed that goodness of fit indices meet the model fit requirements for the two-factor structure of the scale (χ2 / df= 1.8; GFI= 0.88; CFI= 0.90; TLI= .88; RMSEA= 0.05). The internal consistency coefficient was found .80. As an evidence for the convergent validity, Authenticity in Relationships Scale was found to have significantly positive correlations with the Authenticity Scale and Relationship Assessment Scale. Moreover, the results of measurement invariance analysis showed that scale has the same measurement body of items in females and males and the answer patterns are similar in both genders indicating a sound metric variance for AIRS. In conclusion, it can be concluded that AIRS is a reliable and valid measure of relationship authenticity in Turkish culture.
The Communication Network of Online Prostitution in Twitter
Authors: Juditha Christiany
Published: January 2021

Humans widely use Twitter for various communication purposes. One advancement in communication due to the inception of this technology is online prostitution, which enables Twitter users to quickly, openly, and vulgarly flirt. Prostitution is no longer a taboo in Eastern society. This study aims to obtain an overview of online prostitution communication networks on Twitter, using the Social Media Analysis method with Sentimentviz application. The results show that intact communication networks were formed between actors, irrespective of the limited number. Twitter accounts are used to promote commercial sex services by each actor through their timeline and hashtags such as #openbo, #realangel, #bispak, #bisyar. At the group level, some actors have a unique position to help service marketing by retweeting messages and functioning as pimps. As for ego-centered networks, most actors stand-alone without being associated with others in promoting commercial sex services.
Trajectories of Mobility: Intergenerational Narratives of Relocation and Achievement among Viennese Syriac Christian Men
Authors: Armbruster Heidi
Published: January 2021

This article analyzes narratives of emigration among Syriac Christians who migrated from Turkey to Vienna, Austria. It sets out from a starting point of exploring the different ways that migration affects family life and reproduction. By using “linked biographies,” the discussion focuses upon intergenerational aspects in order to explore the ways in which history is understood and reproduced by individuals with their own narrative but interconnected with the biographies of family members. Through the analysis of the narrative strategies of three men and their sons, it is shown how the individuals draw on cultural idioms of Syriac family and masculinity when telling their stories and simultaneously negotiating their moral agency. The paper argues that the analysis of biographical material reveals that postmigration intergenerational loyalties are not only about negotiating collective identity but also about pressures for social mobility.
Sektory gospodarcze w badaniach odporności ekonomicznej regionów
Authors: Masik Grzegorz
Published: January 2021

Na skutek kryzysu finansowego, a następnie gospodarczego koncepcja odporności ekonomicznej regionów znalazła się w zainteresowaniu wielu badaczy na świecie. Pomimo upływu wielu lat od kryzysu nadal analizuje się jego wpływ na sektor produkcyjny i usługowy regionów. Celem artykułu jest przegląd koncepcji odporności regionalnej i wskazanie prawidłowości dotyczących odporności sektorów gospodarczych na kryzysy. Dokonano gruntownej kwerendy literatury międzynarodowej, uwzględniając różne kategorie regionów oraz znaczenie sektorów gospodarczych dla odporności regionów. Na podstawie przeglądu literatury można wskazać, że uwzględniane są trzy interpretacje odporności regionalnej: inżynieryjna, ekologiczna i ewolucyjna. Kluczowe dla odporności gospodarczej są: polityka makroekonomiczna, stopień specjalizacji produkcyjnej, silne powiązania wewnątrz sektorów przemysłowych oraz dywersyfikacja gospodarek regionalnych. Badania wskazują także, że regiony metropolitalne, pomimo znaczącego rozwoju sektora finansowego, oraz regiony otwarte na eksport w krótkim okresie nie są odporne na szoki gospodarcze, lecz są na nie odporne w długim horyzoncie czasowym. Peryferyjne regiony rolnicze słabo powiązane z gospodarką światową oraz regiony o ponadprzeciętnym zatrudnieniu w sektorze publicznym są odporne w krótkim okresie i zależą od polityk centralnych.

Authors: Sala Krzysztof
Published: January 2021

Publikacja porusza istotny temat współczesnej mody na rewitalizowanie i przekształcanie dawnych budynków przemysłowych w nowoczesne obiekty komercyjne. Pośród wielu możliwości zagospodarowania ważne miejsce zajmują obiekty hotelarskie. Otwieranie nowoczesnych hoteli loftowych przyczynia się do urozmaicenia oferty turystycznej i ożywienia dawnych dzielnic przemysłowych, przyciąga także na ich obszary nowych turystów. Celem publikacji jest wykazanie, że obiekty loftowe, w tym szczególnie hotele, mogą przyczynić się do rewitalizacji znacznych obszarów miejskich, poprawy sytuacji gospodarczej i rozwoju przedsiębiorczości. Metody badawcze zastosowane w pracy to krytyka piśmiennicza i analiza najnowszych danych wtórnych. W publikacji wykorzystano również luźne rozmowy telefoniczne przeprowadzone w 2019 roku z managerami znanych hoteli loftowych w całej Polsce. Publikacja została napisana przy wykorzystaniu danych zwartych, artykułów naukowych oraz danych netograficznych. Rezultaty analizy naukowej wskazują, że hotelarstwo loftowe w Polsce rozwija się w sposób systematyczny i staje się trwałym elementem współczesnego rynku hotelarskiego. Implikacje teoretyczne i praktyczne pracy wskazują, że beneficjentami rozwoju tej gałęzi hotelarstwa będą zarówno miasta – siedziby hoteli, jak i ich klienci. W przyszłości można się spodziewać dalszego rozwoju tego segmentu hotelarstwa.
Irkutsk as a Potential Growth Point of Greening Processes in Russia
Authors: Natalia Batsiun , Anatol Jakobson , Yuri Jakobson
Published: January 2021

Greening has no alternatives in contemporary world. Yet in Russia another process is taking place – the weakening of environmental consciousness in the conditions of economic backwardness. Our hypothesis is that the only hope is connected with some local breakthroughs and one of them can occur in Irkutsk due to its geographic position. The proximity to the Lake Baikal must influence the mentality of the citizens, which has already been demonstrated once, in the time of Perestroyka. There existed an enormous public activity in Irkutsk with the slogans of closing Pulp and Paper Plant on the bank of Baikal. To analyse this idea, the geographic position is thoroughly considered. Also, a sociological survey was undertaken in the framework of our investigation. This survey showed the high level of Baikal patriotism, as well as some tendencies of forming consumer’s consciousness of the quality of the goods purchased. The market of environmentally-friendly products in Irkutsk was analysed, including the one of food supplements developed by local specialists. This market is in the initial stages of its existence, but it does exist and it is a source of hope.
Podgórze – zaniedbana dzielnica czy drzemiący potencjał? Wizerunek miejsca w świetle zanalizowanych materiałów informacyjnych i promocyjnych
Authors: Siwek Matylda
Published: January 2021

Podgórze, w przeszłości samodzielne miasto, zostało przyłączone do Krakowa w 1915 roku. Pomimo tego, że posiada wiele wartościowych zabytków, atrakcyjnych miejsc i obiektów, nadal pozostaje w cieniu zarówno w stosunku do najstarszej, zabytkowej części Krakowa, jak i do Kazimierza. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba oceny atrakcyjności oraz wizerunku Podgórza poprzez pryzmat materiałów informacyjnych i promocyjnych, które zostały omówione i zanalizowane z wyróżnieniem różnych grup zwiedzających – turystów zagranicznych, krajowych, a także mieszkańców miasta. Podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytania, jakie podejmuje się działania i w jakim kierunku powinny one podążać w celu poprawy atrakcyjności oraz zwiększenia zainteresowania miejscem. Aby powyższy cel został osiągnięty, przeprowadzona została kwerenda źródeł internetowych oraz drukowanych dotyczących Podgórza, z których mogą korzystać turyści. W celu rozszerzenia badań przeprowadzono sondaż diagnostyczny wśród studentów Uniwersytetu Pedagogicznego, kierunku turystyka i rekreacja, sondujący ich wiedzę i opinie na temat atrakcji turystycznych Podgórza oraz sposobu postrzegania dzielnicy. Badanie miało charakter pilotażowy, należałoby je powtórzyć na większej, reprezentatywnej próbie, składającej się zarówno z turystów krajowych, jak i zagranicznych. Należy podkreślić, że cechą charakterystyczną Podgórza jest to, że różnica w postrzeganiu jego atrakcyjności i zabytków jest znaczna i wyraźnie widoczna w materiałach promocyjnych i informacyjnych oraz ofercie turystycznej kierowanej do zwiedzających, a także obrazie dzielnicy, jaki jest przez nie kreowany.

Published: January 2021

ResumenEl estudio pretende contrastar las percepciones entre docentes y discentes de las titulaciones de educación en relación a la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (plan Bolonia) en España. Un total de 15 estudiantes de la primera promoción del Grado de Maestro de Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Burgos y 12 profesores con experiencia docente en la misma titulación, tanto en los antiguos planes de la Diplomatura de Magisterio como en los actuales de Grado accedieron a participar. Se empleó una metodología cualitativa, verificando de manera exhaustiva las percepciones de los participantes tras su vivencia personal. Se llevaron a cabo dos grupos de discusión estructurados, uno para los estudiantes y otro para el profesorado. Se observa cómo los estudiantes perciben grandes diferencias entre asignaturas y entre los docentes, sobre todo en los procedimientos de evaluación, la metodología aplicada y el aprendizaje para ser futuros docentes. Por otro lado, los profesores manifiestan que el plan Bolonia no ha conllevado tantos cambios como se pretendían, en parte por el elevado número de estudiantes y la escasa formación permanente. Se concluye la falta de estructura y funcionamiento que regula el plan Bolonia bajo el criterio de estudiantes y profesorado.AbstractThe study aims to contrast the perceptions between teachers and students of education degrees in relation to the implementation of the European Higher Education Area (Bologna plan) in Spain.  A total of 15 students of the first class of bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Burgos and 12 teachers with teaching experience in the same studies, both in the previous degree and in the current. A qualitative design has been used to verify exhaustively participants’ perceptions of their personal experience. Two structured discussion groups were conducted, one for students and one for teachers. They showed how students perceive major differences between subjects and teachers regarding assessment procedures, methodology used and learning acquired to be future teachers. On the other hand, teachers expressed that the Bologna plan has not brought many changes, partly because of the high number of students and the little training. It is concluded the lack of structure and functioning which regulates the Bologna plan according to both, students and teachers.

ResumenPara los jóvenes las tareas universitarias entran en conflicto con las actividades de tiempo libre y ocio, estas últimas suelen ser sacrificadas. Este estudio tiene como propósito conocer a qué actividades como Uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), la actividad físico-deportiva y, el consumo de actividades culturales, dedican la mayor parte del tiempo libre los jóvenes universitarios, de lunes a viernes, fines de semana y periodo de vacaciones. La población objeto de estudio la constituyen 1,580 estudiantes de Educación Superior de la Universidad de Guadalajara, México, donde el 52.5% son mujeres y el 47.5% hombres. Se puede comprobar que los estudiantes dedican la mayor parte del tiempo libre al Uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), que asocia con actividades de ocio pasivo, de lunes a viernes; Donde las actividades de consumo cultural, que relaciona con actividades de relación social y diversión, será para fines de semana y periodo de vacaciones. Al parecer las actividades físicas y deportivas no suelen ser prioridad para estos jóvenes durante el tiempo libre en los tres periodos temporales. A sabiendas de los problemas que afrontan los jóvenes, se requiere de políticas públicas más acordes para la ocupación del tiempo libre. En caso contrario, toda acción o política pública, conducirá al fracaso.AbstractFor students, university duties could conflict with free time activities, these latter are often sacrificed. The purpose of this research is to know in what type of activities, including the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), physical-sports activity and the consumption of cultural activities, most of the university students spend their free time from Monday to Friday, weekends and holidays. The population under research, consists of 1580 higher education students from the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, where 52.5% are women and 47.5% are men. Statistical data indicates that students dedicate most of their free time to the use of ICT’s (passive leisure activities), mainly from Monday to Friday, while cultural consumption activities (social relationship and amusement activities) occur during weekends and holiday periods. It seems that physical and sports activities are not usually a priority for these students during their free time in the three time periods. Public policies need to be more responsive to the needs of young university students for free or leisure time. Otherwise, any public action or policy will lead to failure.
Markers of endothelial dysfunction in early and advanced breast cancer dissemination
Authors: Bulska-Bedkowska Weronika , Chudek Jerzy
Published: January 2021

Endothelium is a specialized lining of blood vessels, made up of a single layer of simple squamous cells that carry out transport and paracrine activities. The increasing number of studies suggest that endothelial cells play an indirect role in tumor growth and metastasis. Due to the fact that distant metastases are the main cause of death in breast cancer, markers of early neoplastic dissemination, undetectable by available imaging methods, are sought and that could justify the use of more aggressive neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies, as well as might be a new potential therapeutic goals. Adhesins involved in the regulation of processes of differentiation, proliferation, migration and apoptosis raised interest among oncologists. Among a large group of recognized markers of endothelial dysfunction, mostly adhesins: E-selectin, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were studied. Increase in the concentration of these adhesins occurs in patients with distant dissemination of breast cancer cells. Available research results indicate the potential prognostic significance of these markers.

Introduction. A research was conducted of the features of the structural and functional state of bone tissue in patients with generalized periodontitis with rheumatoid arthritis who live in different anthropogenically loaded areas. Aim. The aim of the research is to assess the bone tissue mineral density according to the indicators of densitometric researches and the level of a marker of bone metabolism in generalized periodontitis of I and II degree of severity. Material and methods. We examined 105 patients with GP of the I and II degree of severity, among whom were patients with rheumatoid arthritis who live in environmentally favorable and unfavorable areas. Peculiarities of the structural and functional state of bone tissue were assessed using an ultrasonic densitometer Sunlight Mini Omni TM and the level of a marker of bone tissue resorption of deoxypyridinoline in urine. Results. Patients with generalized periodontitis with rheumatoid arthritis who live in environmentally unfavorable areas, found the largest number of people with signs of osteopenia, osteoporosis and elevated levels of deoxypyridinoline. In particular, in generalized periodontitis of the II degree of severity with osteopenia – 14 people (48.27%), with osteoporosis – 9 people (31%), the level of deoxypyridinoline determined in women was 12.03 ± 0.16 n/mol, which in 2.2 times significantly higher than the group of healthy (p < 0.001). Conclusions. According to densitometric parameters and the level of deoxypyridinoline in the urine, the acceleration of bone tissue resorption in patients with generalized periodontitis of the II degree of severity with rheumatoid arthritis who live in environmentally unfavorable areas was established.

Sham Marriage in the Russian Family Law: The Problems of Legal Adjustment and the Ways of Their Solution
Authors: Frolov Aleksey I. , Agureeva Maria V.
Published: January 2021

The essential features of the concept of the sham marriage are considered (registration of marriage, the expression of the will of the couple to register marriage, and the lack of intention to create a family).
The analysis of the legal grounds for the emergence of marriage bona fide spouse rights in case of the invalidity of the sham marriage and the rehabilitation of the sham marriage, which are sets of legal facts, is carried out. The authors argue for the possibility of invalidating the sham marriage after the death of the spouses. There is a critical point of view on the issue of establishing administrative or criminal liability for the sham marriage if only private rights are violated. It is advisable to protect private rights violated by the sham marriage by means of private law, which allows ensuring the personal privacy. At the same time, the commission of the sham marriage can be considered as a qualifying feature of an illegal act that violates public law (violation of the procedure for admission to citizenship, acquisition of the right to state benefits, and others), or as an aggravating circumstance when imposing the appropriate punishment.
In the comparative legal aspect, the system of measures to counteract the sham marriages is considered. Given that the liberalization of views on cohabitation and the possible de lege ferenda recognition of their legal force will complicate the problem of fictitious marriages, it is proposed to put the recognition of the status of spouses for cohabitees under the condition of providing evidence of the creation of a family and establishing the relevant fact in court.

Published: January 2021

In the article, the author explores the legislative concepts of «form», «methods», «measures» of tax control. It is indicated that in the text of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation there is a mixture of these concepts. An own terminological gradation is proposed, according to which, forms of tax control are implemented by separate methods of tax control, and the latter are carried out in certain ways and in a set of measures.
The author, analyzing tax legislation, concludes that there are significant legislative gaps, there is no consolidation of certain methods of tax control and methods of their implementation, however they are implemented in practice by tax authorities in relation to taxpayers. In addition, the rules are formulated rather vaguely about which individual tax control measures can be carried out and serve as valid evidence when carrying out certain types of tax audits, as well as outside the framework of audits or during tax monitoring.
In conclusion, the author points out that there is a need for a clear reinforcement of new methods, methods and measures of tax control using digital technologies of current online control in accordance with modern tasks of tax administration.

Published: January 2021

Metabolic syndrome is defined as the co-occurrence of metabolic risk factors for both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (i.e. abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension). Indeed, metabolic syndrome is an important risk factor for subsequent development of type 2 diabetes and/or CVD. Thus, the key clinical implication of a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is the identification of a patient who needs aggressive lifestyle modification focused on weight reduction and increased physical activity. Multiple different phenotypes and ethnic-specific values for waist circumference are included within metabolic syndrome, with indications for differing treatment strategies. This book covers several aspects of metabolic syndrome, including its definition, diagnostic criteria, preventive measures, and treatment, as well as the possible association between ethnicity and the occurrence of metabolic syndrome.
