This article explores the barriers in perception of development that hinder successful development of the organization and offers recommendations on how those barriers can be dealt with.
DOES DAY-OF-THE-WEEK ANOMALY INFLUENCE BRICS STOCK MARKETS? A UNIT ROOT TESTING APPROACH
Authors: Khanna Vandana , Mittal Amit
Published: March 2023

The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) economies have been selected as a basis for the present study due to two reasons. Firstly, economists have prognosticated that these nations are widely considered among the world’s ascendant economies and secondly, these countries represent almost every continent on the globe. In this context, the current study examines the existence and persistence of Day-of-the-week (DOW) effect by examining the major indices of these economies of BRICS i.e.  IBOVESPA (Brazil), RTSI (Russia), BSE-Sensex (India), SSE Composite Index (China) and FTSE ALL (South Africa). Daily closing prices of these indices are considered and examined for the period of fourteen years from January 1, 2001 upto December 31, 2014. The data has been analyzed with the help of software Eviews5. However, the findings demonstrate the existence of DOW effect in Indian and Chinese stock markets only. The results suggest that market inefficiency still exists and market is yet to price the risk appropriately by hitting the market tactically at appropriate timings. As a consequence, an investor may exploit this technical knowledge to earn abnormal returns to enter the stock market to earn abnormal profits by adjusting their portfolios accordingly.

Ecology of personal boundaries among youth
Authors: Liashch Oksana , Pedorenko Valentyna
Published: March 2023

The article examines the problem of the ecological nature of personal boundaries among youth. It is emphasized that personal boundaries separate the inner world of a person from the outside world, from other people, because life is almost impossible without boundaries. It is noted that the optimal boundaries of the individual give the right to openly express their feelings, to be themselves, ensuring the environmental friendliness of the personal space of young people. The psychological boundary is important in the process of interpersonal communication and people's perception of each other. It is highlighted that without clearly defined comfortable boundaries, people experience significant problems in everyday life, in relationships with relatives and friends, colleagues, environment, etc. The author also draws attention to the fact that a person feels well in the environment with normal and healthy personal boundaries. Such a person is able to communicate, enter into relationships, develop and support them. Healthy boundaries are flexible; a person easily understands and determines at what level they is comfortable communicating, and whether they wants this communication at all. A person is able to get closer or, on the contrary, move away if they understand that something is not working out in the relationship.The article contains the conducted empirical research. The results of the correlation analysis confirm the relationship between self-esteem and personal boundaries in adolescence. That means that a person with low self-esteem has a high probability of difficulty distancing themself from other people. According to the results of the empirical research, we determined that the ecology of personal boundaries depends on self-esteem of adolescents. The ecology of personal boundaries is a psychological formation that arises as a result of the interaction or establishment of relationships between the desire to preserve spontaneity and authenticity and the need for social adaptation. A person protects their own ecological space from aggressive invasion attempts.
Transformation of Migration Terminology: From ‘Illegal Migrant’ to ‘Irregular Migrant’ (English-Ukrainian Aspect)
Authors: Matvieieva Svitlana , Matvieiev Serhii
Published: March 2023

This article deals with the study of the semantic transformation of terminological units for migration law. The question of standardization of national terminology, as well as inter- and intra-linguistic harmonization and unification of migration units is raised and substantiated. It is noted that changes in English terminology cause difficulties in national terminology due to, on the one hand, the need to find the most accurate and correct equivalent of the unit of the source language, and on the other – differences in the semantic volume of units of different languages. The article considers English terms for migrants: illegal migrant, irregular migrant, undocumented migrant. Analysis of international normative and advisory documents, as well as data from lexicographic sources of English and Ukrainian languages allow the authors to provide recommendations for the use of the Ukrainian equivalent to these terms – мігрант із неврегульованим статусом. At the same time, the authors note that the current Ukrainian legal documents operate on the term нелегальний мігрант, despite the long-standing recommendations of the Council of Europe and the UN to replace the term illegal migrant in national legislation with irregular migrant or undocumented migrant.
Where are the Women

Published: March 2023

Using bibliographic metadata from 177 Philosophy Journals between 1950 and 2020, this article presents new data on the under- representation of women authors in philosophy journals across decades and across four different compounding factors. First, we examine how philosophy fits in comparison to other academic disciplines. Second, we consider how the regional academic context in which Philosophy Journals operate impacts on author gender proportions. Third, we consider how the regional specialization of a journal impacts on author gender proportions. Fourth, and perhaps most interestingly, we consider the impact of author ethnicity on gender representation, and we examine the breakdown of author ethnicity across Philosophy Journals between 1950 and 2020. To our knowledge, this is the first work to offer an estimate for author ethnicity and gender in philosophy publications using a large- scale data set. We find that women authors are underrepresented in Philosophy Journals across time, across disciplines, across the globe, and regardless of ethnicity.

Social media is a new reality of modern society and represent as a platform of online communication of millions of people. During the discussion reflection of current events is happening, positions of communication’s subjects on topical issues are forming and changing, impact is made. Definition of intentional characteristics of network discourse related to motivational, perceptual-cognitive processes, communicants’ practical activity becomes particularly relevant in this regard. The approach realized in this study is aimed at characterizing the intentional space of social media discourse and identifying discursive markers of Internet users’ actual intentions, suitable for their objective evaluation. 46 messages of various topics and their discussion (1835 comments) on various network resources in 2015–2022 are served as the material for our study. Intent-analysis is used to assess psychological content of speech. This method allows to determine communicators’ intentions associated with current interaction and communicative tactics. 51 categories of intentions are described (4947 realizations). High intensity negative intentions dominate among them regardless of their topics that points to pronounced negative evaluability and potential conflictuality. In addition, social media discourse has clear informational focus due to extensive representation of neutral intentions associated with exchange of opinions, analysis and discussion of the situation. Context specific markers of communicators’ intentions: lexical, semantic, graphic and punctuation are found in it. Some markers are specific to certain intentions; others are realized in actualization of a number of intentions that associated with the variety of expression ways and words’ multiple meanings.

Features of Temperament and Character in Families with Recurrent Depressive and Bipolar Affective Disorders
Authors: Kasyanov E. D.
Published: March 2023

The research is devoted to the study of temperament and character characteristics in families with mood disorders (recurrent depressive disorder (RВВ) and bipolar affective disorder (BD)). Many temperament and character traits tend to aggregate in families and influence the risk of RDD and BD. At the same time, no studies have been conducted in the Russian population with an assessment of temperament and character traits depending on the presence of mood disorders in families. The hypothesis of the study: patients with mood disorders and their relatives have specific features of temperament and character. 36 probands with RDD and BD and 68 of their relatives were examined, as well as 23 probands without mood disorders and 53 of their relatives. A Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-125) was used to assess personality traits. The results of the study showed that probands with mood disorders, in comparison with their relatives, had significantly higher scores on such TCI-125 dimensions as novelty seeking, harm avoidance, and reward dependence. However, the main contribution to the identified differences was made by relatives without mood disorders. Probands with mood disorders had a higher score on the dimension of harm avoidance compared to healthy probands. In addition, a higher score on the novelty seeking dimension was associated with the absence of relatives with mood disorders when comparing healthy relatives of probands with mood disorders and healthy relatives of probands without mood disorders. It is concluded that there are specific temperament traits in families with mood disorders that can be considered as candidates for the endophenotypes of RDD and BD.
Transgenderism: Bioethical Issues
Authors: Savvina Olga V.
Published: March 2023

The article analyses bioethical problems related to the concept of transgenderism and its understanding in the framework of biomedical discourse. The concept of “transgenderism” is linked with medicine, and gender dysphoria (International Classification of Diseases, 11th Edition) in particular. At the same time, the concept of transgenderism interacts with the social context. The article shows that the perception of transgenderism and transgenders by society has an impact both on the medical discourse and the notion of transgenderism in its context, and on the perception of “ordinary” people, or cisgender people, which is due to the gradual normalization of transgenderism. Thus, the concept of transgenderism requires an interdisciplinary approach and ethical, philosophical and bioethical consideration. Since the analyzed concept is directly related to medical problems, this study is based not only on bioethical studies, but also on sources in the field of medicine and sociological studies related to medicine. The article also analyzes the problem of applying the biomedical principles nonmaleficence" and principle of autonomy by Beauchamp and Childress, that have specifics applied to transgender children. This is due to the connection of transgenderism with another problem that lies in the interdisciplinary field —suicide. A number of studies on the quality of life of transgender people, as well as encyclopedic literature, mention suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts of transgenders. The article shows how the reinterpretation of transgenderism and its normalization change the boundaries of medical discourse, deducing transgenderism and suicide from medicine. The author concludes that the normalization of transgenderism and the change of its place in the medical discourse entails not only a transformation of medical discourse, but also affects other concepts like suicide, changes the approach to the treatment of transgender children, making the therapy of such children questionable from bioethical viewpoint.
Protest and Mass Media as varieties of communication: the problem of semantic interconnection
Authors: Sapan Ilia
Published: March 2023

The article contains an analysis of the phenomenon of protest based on the conceptual features of the system-communicative approach. The author makes an attempt to express the essential characteristics of protest as a form of social communication, which represents the mobilization of “society against society”, using the method of socio-philosophical analysis. This analysis raises the question of the potential of social networks and the Internet as a tool of protest activity, due to the close dependence of protest on the mass media as a special functional system. The author concludes that despite the wide reach of social media users, this resource is a weak mechanism for protest self-organization.
V.I. Lamansky: Civilizations and the War of Languages
Authors: Malinov Alexey
Published: March 2023

The article deals with the problems of language and war in the civilizational concept of the Slavist Academician V.I. Lamansky. Lamansky's attitude to the Crimean War and Russian-Turkish War of 1877–1879 is traced on the basis of archival documents. His assessments of military and political events are given. It is pointed out that Lamansky's political-geographical doctrine formulated in his treatise «The Three Worlds of the Asian-European Continent» (1892) and in his earlier works, was a development of the Slavophile ideas and included the provisions later developed by Eurasianists. It is pointed out that he gave not only a geographical but also a linguistic definition of civilizations, in particular, he believed that civilizational worlds are held together by a common language (world-historical language). According to Lamansky, who formulated the doctrine of linguistic hegemony, the competition between peoples and states, including military, is replaced by the competition of world-historical languages. In Europe, he believed, three Romance languages (French, Italian and Spanish) and two Germanic languages (English and German) are struggling with each other. Of these, only Spanish and English, thanks to the vast colonies of Great Britain and the former colonies of Spain, could retain their world-historical significance. In time, he suggested, even Spain's former colonies in South America might come under Anglo-Saxon rule, and the center of the Western world would shift to the New World. In the Middle World or the Greco-Slavic world, Russian has no competitors, so it should be a common literary, scientific and diplomatic language, uniting the peoples of the Middle World in a civilizational unity. Language is the main geopolitical force through which cultural and, in the long term, political unity is first formed. Based on the philosophical and historical analysis of the contradictions between the Romano-Germanic and the Greek-Slavic worlds, Lamansky concluded that the coming world war was inevitable.
The Islamization and Saffronization of Education: A Threat to the Dialogue of Civilizations?
Authors: Fursov Kirill A.
Published: March 2023

The article analyzes the contemporary processes of creeping Islamization of the education sphere in Islamic countries and its saffronization (Hinduization) in India. The prerequisites have been the rise of localcultures in Asia and Africa since the late XX century as a reaction to globalization and particularly the rise of the religious factor as an answer to the inefficiency of secular nationalism.
Using the material of Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia, the author shows how Islamists redesign humanities curricula for their own purposes. Using the Indian material, the same is shown regarding the adherents of Hindu nationalism, i.e., Hindutva. Main attention is paid to the process of the dismantling the secular state in Turkey, Pakistan and India in the XXI century as exemplified by the education system.
The fading of the laicism principle, the search for an identity through the image of an enemy, and the indoctrination of the youth in the spirit of intolerance hamper the capacity of societies for dialogue. It increases the risks of conflicts between ethnoreligious communities both within and between states.

From Devil-Fish to Friendly Whale? Encountering Gray Whales on The California Coast
Authors: GUASCO ANNA
Published: March 2023

Eastern North Pacific gray whales are famed for their remarkable ecological history: from near extinction to recovery and from ‘devil-fish’ to ‘friendly whale’. This article critically examines the origins and development of the narrative framing of gray whales’ history as one in which the whales were long known as ‘devil-fish’, until they became ‘friendly whales’ in the 1970s. Drawing on archival sources from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, this article interrupts the premise of a smooth and linear transition from devil-fish to friendly whale. Instead, gray whale histories reveal much more complex and even contradictory human–whale encounters along the California coast. Throughout the time period examined, precursors of the familiar contemporary narrative of gray whale history emerged, each building on prior remembrances of gray whale pasts. More broadly, this article contributes to contemporary conversations in more-than-human historical studies about nonhuman agency, multispecies encounters, memory, and environmental histories of emotion.

The role of business in society is extremely important. Business responds to urgent problems and falls under socio-political influence. As a result, conceptual approaches to corporate social responsibility are dynamic, lively and actively developed under the influence of many factors, including public expectations. The article considers the development of corporate social responsibility concept in the period from the 1950s to the present. The theoretical analysis provided an opportunity to single out the differences in the target orientation of corporate social responsibility in the conceptual approaches of outstanding scientists to this issue. The study uses a chronological systematic approach to the evolution of conceptual approaches to corporate social responsibility. Due to the dynamism of the corporate social responsibility conсept, the study of its features at different stages is extremely relevant. The concept of corporate social responsibility is associated with a wide range of issues: motivation of companies to be socially responsible, groups of stakeholders on which companies are guided, incorporation of social responsibility into company strategies, performance of socially responsible initiatives, regulation of responsible behavior by society («soft») and by the state, etc. The obtained results allow to make conclusion that the scope of social responsibility has expanded over time: from the overwhelming focus on the company’s employees to a wider group of internal and external stakeholders and even the planet in general. Because global problems make the sufficient impact on the modern approach to the corporate social responsibility.

In particular, vibration-based structural damage detection methods have proven to be highly effective in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, … This paper presents a two-step procedure for damage detection in steel plane frame structures. In the first step, the damage locations in the frame are detected by Modal Strain Energy Index (MSEBI). This index is calculated on the difference from the modal strain energy value of every element before and after damage. In the second step, the damage extents are identified by Genetic Algorithm (GA). The objective function is established on the basis of the change of modal strain energy. A plane steel frame model is built by the finite element method. The results of the frame’s free vibration analysis are the input data of the proposed damage detection procedure. In order to improve the accuracy of the damage localization, the MSEBI is determined using the combination of the frame's first four bending mode shapes. The proposed method gives highly accurate results in detecting the damage’s location and extent for various damage scenarios.

The demand for antibacterial fabric has been recently increasing in the medical textiles. The fibers used in textile products, especially those made from natural fibers with a large surface area and good moisture-retention capacity, provide a favorable condition for microbial growth. They are present almost everywhere and multiply rapidly, depending on moisture, nutrients, and the environment in which they live. The growth of microorganisms on textile products has caused a series of undesirable effects, not only on the product but also on the user of the products. Cotton fabric is easy to wrinkle. When exposed to a humid environment, it is susceptible to damage caused by microorganisms. Therefore, antibacterial treatment for Cotton fabric 100% is a important requirement in the textiles and garments depending on the intended use and is a prerequisite for fabric products in the medical field. Many antibacterial agents for textiles are already known such as organo-metallics, phenols, quaternary ammonium salts. Triclosan is a popular antibacterial chemical. Triclosan is present everywhere in life from consumer products such as toothpaste, soap, detergents, toys, household appliances to cosmetics. Especially Triclosan is an antibacterial agent used quite a lot in the textile industry. Triclosan with chlorinated phenol, a synthetic chemical, is common and potential antibacterial agent. In this study, The technical parameters were investigated include Triclosan concentration, dipping time, drying temperature, citric acid concentration to evaluate the effects of treated parameters on the antimicrobial efficiencies of the 100% cotton fabrics. The results show that cotton fabrics after finishing treatment with Triclosan and applying citric acid (CA) as important bonding chemical have good antibacterial ability and also have improved durable antibacterial properties after 5 launderings. The antibacterial properties of treated cotton fabrics was evaluated based on ASTM E2149-01 standard, the experiment was done with E.Coli ATCC 25922 and S. Aureus ATCC 6538.

To satisfy the energy demand and environmental protection, solar energy has been widely used and contributed 43% of renewable energy resources. Photovoltaic (PV) is an ideal technology for powering reverse osmosis (RO) desalination units since both PV and RO systems are modular and easily scalable. HOMER sofware can integrate functional tools for designing and sensitivity analysis of hybrid energy systems. Thus, it is useful for finding the least-cost configuration of small-scale PV systems, which can combine with the other energy sources, effectively. This study analyzed a 3kWp PV module installed at a tilt angle of 10.04o, comprising of eleven 280W PV pannels (JA Solar Holding 280JAM6-60-280/SI), one inverter (ABB PVI-3.0-OUTD-S-US-Z-A-240V), three batteries (Trojan SAGM 12-205-12V-205Ah-20h), and the MPPT charge controller. Results showed that the capital cost in the first year was 60.236 million VND and the total project cost for 25 years, accountless of the installation and maintenance cost, was 144.341 million VND. At the average daily radiation of 5.155 kWh/m2/day, the 3kWp PV module could produce 5,145kWh/year and save more than 49,5% of costs for buying grid electricity.

Empirical data-driven models are increasingly being used to simulate shoreline evolution over time scales ranging from days to decades. For the empirical shoreline evolution modeling, the combined longshore and cross-shore modeling demonstrate the ability to improve the prediction skills for shoreline changes. This study focuses on the feasibility of the combined model with a case study of the embayed beach shoreline of Nha Trang, Vietnam. Nha Trang’s climate is dominated by the tropical monsoon climate, so the beach changes here are strongly affected by this typical climate. The combined model applied in this study is a coupling of the cross-shore model and a longshore model. The combined model can provide the seasonal shoreline position ﬂuctuations induced by the longshore contribution. Besides, it is realized that the very mild waves in summer induce strong accretion which the model cannot simulate. Therefore, a small modification of the equilibrium Dean number (Ω0) in the ShoreFor cross-shore model is suggested to improve the accretion simulation.
