Authors: Semya G.V. , Zaitsev G.O. , Zaytseva N.G. , Telitsyna A.Y.
Published: December 2023

The study is aimed at examining the assessment of safety and well-being among adolescents through their subjective evaluation. A comparative analysis of subjective well-being (SWB) was conducted in areas of armed conflict and regions of Russia using the Subjective Well-Being Questionnaire (Oslon V.N. et al.), which, in addition to SWB subdomains, includes a set of questions allowing for a more qualitative interpretation of the results. In total, 13,342 adolescents from the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) participated in the survey, including 54% girls and 46% boys aged 13 to 17. The research results allowed evaluating living conditions, education, experienced stress, and safety, as well as the perspectives of adolescents seeking integration into normal life. A detailed analysis of the responses revealed that the majority of adolescents rated their satisfaction with various aspects of life quite high. However, a comparative analysis of SWB subdomains indicates that subjective satisfaction is lower than the overall Russian sample (151,000 people). The study showed that, along with socio-psychological support for children by qualified specialists locally and during visits to other regions, the creation of conditions for normalizing life in their republic, including the restoration of child infrastructure, is of no less importance for well-being.

Published: December 2023

The paper aims to present the situation of agricultural lands and the effects of their management on the sustainable development of agriculture in the North-West Development Region of Romania, at the level of 2023. The study is based on data taken through the sociological survey method based on a questionnaire, of a number of 276 respondents. The collected data were interpreted for the following indicators: the type of agriculture practiced, agricultural techniques applied, the involvement of agricultural farms in associative forms, the surface of agricultural land, irrigation of agricultural land, fragmentation of agricultural land, types of crops and the use of modern technologies for a digital agriculture. After analysing the data, it is observed that a predominantly conventional and mixed agriculture is practiced, using an average of 150 hectares per farm. Due to the large presence of arable land, the main crops are field crops, represented by cereals and fodder plants. Permanent crops represented in particular by permanent meadows are owned by the majority of farmers (87.3%), and horticultural crops are present in only 27.17% of farms. Modern technologies have a high potential in the development of the region and must be exploited more in the future.
THE PATH TO GOOD HEALTH IS THROUGH MITOCHONDRIAL TRAINING.INTERMITTENT HYPOXIC TRAINING AS THE MAIN METHOD
Authors: Voronina T.
Published: December 2023

All human health, from the cellular level to overall well-being, is inextricably linked to the health of our mitochondria. This article delves into the concept of mitochondrial training, focusing on Hypoxic Intermittent Training (HIT) as a central method for improving mitochondrial function. It is becoming increasingly clear that various diseases, stress, shock, inflammation, aging, and organ failure are primarily the result of respiratory problems that directly affect mitochondrial health. The regulation of metabolism is closely related to gas exchange, and the composition of the gases we breathe regulates our metabolism. Our main goal is to promote efficient mitochondrial function, a key biological imperative.
Re-bordering UK Feminist Video in the 1980s. Cross-border Exchanges and Reflexivity in a Digital and Archive-based Project
Authors: Missero Dalila
Published: December 2023

This article discusses the benefits and limitations of the use of digital humanities tools in the context of transnational research in women’s film and television history, with a particular attention to issues of positionality, cross-border circulation, and exchange. To do so, it details on the methodology and results of a research project reconstructing the transnational impact of the collaborations between women producers and practitioners and UK broadcasters in the context of the UN Decade of Women (1975-1985). The investigation, funded by FIAT/IFTA (International Federation of Television Archives), analyses a group of programmes from the BFI archives by producing data-visualisations such as maps and network analysis generated through the collection of geographical, biographical, and chronological information. The goal of the study is offering a deeper understanding of transnationalism in the context of local television productions, while avoiding risks of fragmentation and methodological nationalism. However, while digital tools and data visualisations helped the identification of recurring tropes and transnational collaborations, the process of data collection and the visual aids themselves made evident the persistence of problematic geographies of knowledge and representation, that would require a broader assessment through collaborative, cross-national investigations.

Published: December 2023

: Dry eye disease is a common ophthalmic condition which is chronic in nature, It is major health issue especially in the current digital era. Dry eye disease is one of the most common reasons for visiting eye care practitioners.

To understand the treatment pattern of medical management of dry eye disease across India.

This single visit, cross-sectional, non-interventional, interview-based ophthalmologist survey on dry eye disease (DED) was conducted between 10-13 May 2023 at 81st Annual Conference of All India Ophthalmological Society, Kochi–AIOC 2023.

A total of 71 registered ophthalmologist from all over India attending AIOC 2023 who were willing to provide their written consent participated in the survey and completed structured questionnaire on dry eye disease management.

Approximately 39.44% ophthalmologist have 20-40% of patients who visiting to daily OPD are suffering from DED, and 40.85% ophthalmologist said the percentage is even more i.e. between 40-60%. 88.73% ophthalmologist responded environmental factors such as digital use specially increased usage of computers and mobile are responsible for dry eye. 49.30% patients suffered from aqueous - deficient dry eye (ADDE) and remaining 50.70% evaporative dry eye (EDE). Artificial Tears (AT) is the first line in management of DED said by all ophthalmologist & in certain cases, depending on type, severity, and cause of dry eye other drugs like cyclosporine, corticosteroids, antioxidant supplements and other medications might be used. Viscosity, pH and osmolarity are important for artificial tear said by 77.46% of ophthalmologist & 23% ophthalmologist opine that viscosity is major factor. 50% ophthalmologist believes that carboxymethylcellulose is the most suitable ingredient followed by sodium hyaluronate (29.58%). 61.43% Ophthalmologists replied, AT should provide continues relief from dry eye symptoms. 42.86% said AT should be used for long terms, it should be preservative free replied by 58.57% Ophthalmologists and 40% replied acceptance from patient should be there in terms of cost.

Tear substitutes are the most commonly prescribed medications for the management of dry eye disease. Artificial tears are amongst the first-line agents in the management options for the management of dry eye disease, because of their ease for usage, with a better safety and tolerability profile and their availability in various formulations.

Authors: Hun Amari V , Jariwala Shivani B
Published: December 2023

The study aimed to estimate the level of stereoacuity in medical undergraduate students, factors associated with reduced stereoacuity, and time taken to interpret plates.

Cross-sectional study was done at the Medical College of South Gujarat from April 2021 to June 2022, enrolling 400 consenting students. Detailed ocular history was taken; best corrected visual acuity was assessed for distance and near after cycloplegic refraction for cases with subnormal visual acuity and power of glasses documented. Level of Stereopsis was assessed using TNO random dot stereoacuity chart and time taken to read plates 1 and 5 was recorded. Data were entered and appropriate statistical tests were applied.

Out of 400 students, 64.25% had a refractive error. Simple myopia was most prevalent refractive error (43.25%), followed by compound myopic astigmatism (19.5%). Seven students had anisometropic amblyopia and two had strabismic amblyopia. 19.75% cases had subnormal stereopsis. Among them, 10.25% cases had simple myopia, 7.25% had high compound myopic astigmatism, 1.75% had anisometropic amblyopia and 0.5% cases had strabismic amblyopia. Average time taken by emmetrope to read plate 1 and plate 5 was 13.93 ± 14.03 and 19.03 ± 20.66 respectively and for cases with refractive errors, time taken was 17.59 ± 13.95 and 27.83 ± 20.77 respectively. This was statistically significant (P <0.05).

Most of the students had good stereoacuity as they were already wearing refractive correction. Commonest cause of subnormal stereopsis ware simple myopia, compound myopic astigmatism and amblyopia. Time taken to read the plates is more for refractive error as compared to emmetropes.

Published: December 2023

To provide the reference exophthalmometric values in Indian children aged between 3-7 years.

The study consisted of 528 children of both gender (age range from 3-7 years old), who were randomly selected from six schools in the two districts of south India. Normal children free of orbital diseases and other ocular abnormalities were included in the study. Exophthalmometry values were measured in right eye and left eye using a monocular Luedde exophthalmometer in the primary position.

The mean absolute exophthalmomeric values among 3-7 years old children in OD and OS were 11.38 ± 0.93 mm (CI: 11.26-11.42) and 11.32 ± 0.93 mm (CI: 11.24-11.40) respectively. The mean absolute exophthalmomeric values of the OD and OS of male children were 11.28 ± 0.93mm and 11.25 ± 0.94 mm respectively. Similarly, for female children mean absolute exophthalmomeric values of the OD and OS were 11.41 ± 0.93mm and 11.39 ± 0.91mm respectively. The range of exophthalmometry values in these group of children is ranging from 9-15.5 mm. There is no significant difference (P=0.35) in exophthalmometry values among male and female children. There is a significant positive correlation between absolute exophthalmomeric values and age (r = 0.62, P < 0.05). None of the children in this study have shown relative exophthalmometry of more than 2mm.

In order to diagnose orbital diseases and craniofacial deformities in clinical contexts, ophthalmologists and other healthcare professionals might use the exophthalmomeric values of Indian children aged 3 to 7 presented in this study.
Non-Formal Learning of Foreign Languages in the Polish Educational Context (Based on the Example of Students of French)
Authors: Grabowska Monika
Published: December 2023

This article is an attempt to conceptualise situations of non-formal learning of foreign languages ​​in opposition to those situations of formal and informal learning. Its purpose is to show the blurred boundaries of each of the above categories, so that it is impossible to define one without referring to the other. In the first part of the work, we rely on the definitions developed by Schugurensky in the field of civic education, transferring them to the field of the teaching of foreign languages, and on Sockett’s studies on informal language learning in higher education, illustrating them with examples from the Polish educational context. In the second part, we reveal the difficulties related to the classification of specific situations of foreign language learning into particular categories on the basis of our own research conducted among students of French philology at the University of Wrocław. In conclusion, we present the prototype of a model situating non-formal learning in a continuum of different foreign language-learning situations.
“Imagining Differently”: Tales of Tarot and the Fantastic in Shirley Jackson’s Hangsaman
Authors: Antoszek Patrycja
Published: December 2023

The essay discusses the role of the Tarot and the fantastic in Shirley Jackson’s novel Hangsaman (1951). As a female writer in mid-century America, Jackson uses elements of mysticism and fantasy genre as a means of interrogating the social order and gender politics of her times, but also to undermine the official patriarchal discourse and open new spaces of female experience. By blurring the boundaries between external and internal worlds, and by employing elements of the occult, the author shows reality and reason as arbitrary constructs and draws attention to other ways of meaning making. In contrast to the formal discourse and traditional science, Tarot images and its complex symbolism foreground “women’s ways of knowing” and offer an alternative feminine language beyond official systems of communication.
The Timescape of an Artificial Friend: Posthumous Life in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun
Authors: Shadurski Maxim
Published: December 2023

This article examines Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun (2021) through the notion of timescape, which builds on Barbara Adam’s interventions into the sociology of time. Timescape receives its further conceptualization at the intersections between critical posthumanism, narrative theory, and Anthropocene discourse. In application to Ishiguro’s novel, it opens up the protagonist narrator’s multifaceted relationship to time. Klara is a solar-powered android who at once embodies and attempts to rectify the human impacts on the planet. Timescape allows me to explore Klara’s nonhuman temporalities in three analytical moves. First, through timescape, I contextualize Klara alongside the geological registers of the Anthropocene and theorize her ontological and chronological position as regards the human and the posthuman. Second, timescape brings out Klara’s self-aware preoccupations with the linear order of her narrative, on the one hand, and the temporal disjunctures of that narrative, on the other. And third, Klara’s timescape supplies insight into both her examined prosthetic life and an afterlife of unexamined possibilities. I argue that Klara envisages her algorithmically inflected posthumous life in stark separation from her human forebears.

Greenbelt and green infrastructure are still very limited in Jakarta. Transjakarta Corridor 8 Harmoni - Lebak Bulus covers Central Jakarta, West Jakarta, and South Jakarta which are government centers and densely populated settlements. The high activity in the area causes an increase in transportation flows and greenhouse gas emissions. The transportation sector is the highest contributor to CO2e emissions in the capital city, thus reducing environmental quality, especially the greenbelt in Transjakarta Corridor 8. The assessment of ecological functions in this study consists of 7 variables, namely noise reduction, pollution reduction, air humidity, view control, glare control, direction and accident prevention. The research location is divided into 5 segments with the analysis method used, namely the assessment of ecological function aspects and the formulation of recommendations based on Hierarchical Process Analysis. The results of the assessment on ecological functions with noise-canceling variables were (Polyalthia longifolia) Glodongan Tiang, (Casuarina sp.) Spruce, (Acacia auriculiformis) Acacia, and (Archontophoenix alexandrae) Alexander Palm. The results of the pollution reduction assessment of each segment are dominated by vegetation types (Mangifera indica) Mango, (Polyalthia longifolia) Glodongan Tiang, (Carbera odollam) Bintaro. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the AHP assessment weight was obtained. The combined AHP results show the highest priority scale for the evaluation recommendations of this research is Pollution Reduction as the most important variable with a weight of 0.348, the second rank is Accident Reducer with a weight of 0.300, the third rank is Glare Control with a weight of 0.150. The combined results of 3 experts produce a consistency ratio value of 0.05, the consistency ratio value of 0.05 is smaller than 0.10 so it can be said to have met the consistent requirements.

ЗОВНІШНЯ І ВНУТРІШНЯ ДЕТЕРМІНАЦІЯ ВИНИКНЕННЯ ЗАЛЕЖНОСТІ У ПІДЛІТКІВ
Authors: Семиченко Валентина , Зубченко Наталія
Published: December 2023

У статті висвітлено результати дослідження зовнішніх і внутрішніх факторів, що пов’язані з виникненням психологічної залежності у сучасних підлітків. Мета статті – відображення результатів дослідження, присвяченого порівнянню на емпіричній основі впливу зовнішніх і внутрішніх детермінант на виникнення стану залежності. Віповідно до мети конкретизовано завдання дослідження: 1) виявити рівні сформованості схильності підлітків до адитивної поведінки; 2) виявити кількісні значення зовнішнього і внутрішнього чинників; 3) виявити характер зв’язків  між видами адикції і зовнішніми і внутрішніми чинниками. Проаналізовано теоретичні погляди науковців на природу залежності, наведено класифікацію видів залежності, Розкрито специфіку підліткового віку як періоду, найбільш вразливого до виникнення залежної (адитивної) поведінки. Відмічено, що в суспільстві, яке вже тривалий період знаходиться в стані кризи (вимушена соціальна ізоляція широких верств населення під час пандемії, затяжна фрустрація у воєнних умовах) загострюють питання підвищення психологічної стійкості підлітків до зовнішніх впливів, прагнення вирішувати конфлікти на конструктивній основі. Охарактеризовано методичну базу дослідження, яка складається з трьох методик: 1) шкала «D» «Міжнародного опитувальника для вивчення поширеності насильства над дітьми – дитяча версія (ICAST-С)., 2) методика діагностики схильності до різних видів залежності Лозової Г; 3) експрес-діагностика рівня особистісної фрустрації (В. В. Бойко). Наведено результати емпіричного дослідження, які засвідчили що: 1) Зовнішня детермінація найбільш сприяє формуванню таких видів адикції, як: залежність від здорового способу життя (коефіцієнт кореляції 0,80), наркотична залежність (0,73), харчова (0,69), тютюнова (0,77), алкогольна (0,69).  Найменші зв’язки виявлені з залежністю від ліків (0,29) і релігійною залежністью (0,1). 2) Внутрішня детермінація (рівень фрустрації як показник ступеню реагування на конфліктні події) більше пов’язана з такими видами залежності, як комп’ютерна залежність (0,52), тютюнова (0,51), наркотична (0,51), алкогольна (0,49), телевізійна (0,49), ігрова (0,48),, і найменше - залежність від здорового способу життя (0,02), залежність від ліків (0,1), сексуальна залежність (0,1). Доведено, що по більшості зв’язків, які існують між виникненням у підлітків схильності до адикції, явно домінує зовнішня детермінація (травмуючий вплив). Це можна пояснити тим, що у підлітків ще не сформований досвід конструктивного вирішення життєвих проблем, тому при виникненні ускладнень вони скоріше будуть діяти деструктивним шляхом. Намічено пріоритетні напрямки роботи з підлітками: формування умінь і навичок саморегуляції, оволодіння підлітками ефективними копінг-стратегіями, підвищення толерантності до фрустрації, оволодіння прийомами передбачення наслідків девіантної поведінки, формування позитивної Я-концепції і впевненості у своїх можливостях вплинути на соє життя зараз і в перспективі.

Active and passive sensors for diagnostics quasi-zenith ionospheric HF communication channels
Authors: Ivanov Dmitry V. , Ivanov Vladimir A. , Ryabova Natalia V. , Elsukov Alexey A.
Published: December 2023

Background. There is a growing need for active sensory diagnostics of partial HF channels to provide frequency support to quasi-zenith HF radio links in varying signal propagation conditions. Enhancing the efficiency of active sensor algorithms, particularly by reducing emission time, is topical. To address this, a transition from sequential to parallel (simultaneous) diagnostics is proposed. Another significant challenge in HF communication is narrowband interference, and overcoming this issue involves the method of passive sensory diagnostics. This method assesses the availability of partial channels by analyzing the spectral density of interference power within them.

Aim. The goal of this study is to develop algorithms and software tools that implement spectral monitoring and parallel sensing of partial channels for sensory diagnostics of ionospheric channels in quasi-zenith HF communication.

Methods. The proposed approach involves integrating dynamic diagnostic methods into the development of intelligent sensors for ionospheric HF radio links, along with the creation of data analysis methods. Specialized computer software is employed to address the defined tasks. Experimental studies are conducted using the developed devices, which include intelligent active and passive radio sensors for HF radio links, to assess the load on HF communication channels.

Results. A sensor for orthogonal quasi-zenith ionospheric radio channels has been created, incorporating algorithms for synthesizing a group pulse with orthogonal subcarriers while minimizing the peak factor. Additionally, algorithms for separating subcarriers and calculating the correlation function at the reception have been developed. The sensor employs the OFDM-BPSK signal modulation method, enabling operation in simultaneous-sequential sounding mode across the potential frequency range for communication. This led to an 8-fold reduction in the total signal emission time.

Conclusion. The scientific results obtained have broad practical applications, particularly in enhancing the efficiency of wideband HF communication systems using spread spectrum signals.
Hetmans’ Land Donations to the Orthodox Church: Motives and Expectations
Authors: Prokopiuk Oksana
Published: December 2023

Hetmans’ donations to the Orthodox Church were characteristic of the religious and political culture of the Cossack state already in the era of its emergence in the mid-17th century. In addition to other gifts, hetmans confirmed or provided Orthodox monasteries with land ownership, which was at the center of identity, power, and social prestige. It is clear that certain concrete motives, expectations, and models of behavior stood behind the hetmans’ donations of land. This article suggests considering hetmans’ donations of land to the Orthodox Church as an element of symbolic communication, in which the giver and the recipient interacted, built symbolic communicative ties, and produced centers of communication. The focus is on “communication through donations,” that is, relationships of giving. Religious motivations and the recognition of monasteries as powerful centers of prayer were determinative for the hetmans’ “communication through donations” to the monasteries. The hetmans’ giving land and other real estate to monasteries was based on “piety,” but it was done in the name of Christ-loving rulers. So, in such donations it is quite natural that state interests were prevalent, but also there were complex combinations of religious, social, and political motivations and expectations. These characteristics were evident both in a general sense and in each specific instance of gifting.
The Ukrainian Language in the Temporarily Occupied Territories (2014–October 2022)
Authors: Moser Michael
Published: December 2023

The protection of the Russian language and Russian “compatriots” has been a major issue of Russian political discourse for years. According to Russian official announcements, it was even a major reason for Russian war activities in Ukraine. In 2014, the Russian Federation introduced its language policy in Crimea and began to control the language policy of Donetsk and Luhansk “People’s Republics.” Both Russian and Ukrainian, as well as other languages, have been affected by these measures. Since 24 February 2022, Russian language policy has entered new temporarily occupied territories. Although Ukrainian has occasionally been declared a “state language” in Crimea, in DNR and LNR and then either been deprived of this status (LNR, DNR) or not (Crimea) it has never actually played this role. On the contrary, it has gradually been removed from the public sphere. Announcements regarding the language policy in recently occupied territories have been contradictory for months. Generally, Russian political discourse regarding the Ukrainian language is still based on traditional double-bind strategies. Official “appreciation for the Ukrainian language” is notoriously accompanied with narratives about the “artificiality” of the Ukrainian language, its “uselessness,” and even its virtually inherent “Nazi ideology.” At present, new textbooks of “the classical Ukrainian language” are allegedly being prepared in the Russian Federation. Historians of the Ukrainian language are curious how this unheard-of language might be designed.

Translation at The Service of Multiculturalism: A Case Study of Djaïli Ahmadou Amal’s Walandé L’art De Partager Un Mari
Authors: Quinault Diffo Leonie
Published: December 2023

Despite the multiple measures put in place by governments and international and non-governmental organisations to promote multiculturalism, it remains difficult for individuals to come into contact with a given culture without travelling to that part of the country or without it being broadcasted or carried along by natives. This makes it difficult to understand cultural aspects that can explain or better help understand a given social phenomenon observed in a given society. As, by being in contact with other cultures, it helps understand others ways of life, their eating and dressing habits, their beliefs, etc. This research thus aims at showing that thanks to the strong relationship that exists between language and culture, translation can be used as a tool to promote multiculturalism. For this purpose, the study was grounded on the polysystem theory backed up by few literary and language theories. Besides, it opted for a mixed approach, which enabled the collection of qualitative data through documentary research, observation and textual analysis; and quantitative data through statistics. The results of the investigation showed that translation can greatly contribute to the promotion of multiculturalism as cultural elements: language, norms, tradition, beliefs, and eating habits spread by authors in their pieces of writing can be rendered into other languages using translation strategies such as literal translation, explicitness change, foreignization, and sentence structure change.

Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta a noção de rasura (AUTOR, 2021) para pensar a relação entre capturas e rupturasna gramática visual de redes sociais digitais. Para tanto, utilizamos o perfil da influenciadora Bianka Nicoli, de Pernambuco, como um contraexemplo para discutir a possibilidade de articulações não-normativas em ambientes digitais. Em nossa proposta qualitativa, discutimos a questão do olhar (KAPLAN, 1983; MULVEY, 1997; COLLINS, 2002; MIRZOEFF, 1999, 2012), o exame (FOUCAULT, 1999) e a sociedade de controle (DELEUZE, 1990).

Published: December 2023

This article aims to carry out a study on the reuse of zinc ash produced during galvanization, produced on the surface of the tank due to zinc oxidation, and the slag from the flux-zinc-iron reaction, which needs to be removed so as not to harm the process. of galvanization. With the increase in zinc and thinking about sustainability and recycling, a furnace was developed with a rotating cylinder that is heated using a NG burner, to reuse the zinc from its ashes. A financial comparison was prepared, aiming to show the differences between using the zinc recycling furnace and selling this waste. From the analyzes of zinc ash and zinc recycled by the prototype, a concentration of 40% Zn in the ash and a purity of 99.35% of Zn in the recycling process can be obtained, making it ideal for reuse.
Accumulation of words: lists in the Italian public discourse
Authors: Cicchirillo Roberta
Published: December 2023

In written and spoken language, lists are flexible instruments that take on different functions, such as grouping elements in a stable set or suggesting others to come. Umberto Eco perceives lists as a semiotic modality of vertigo-like accumulation, which offers a way to speak of something whose boundaries one does not know and to place a limit upon the entropy of the mass of things (Belknap 2004; Eco 2009). In public discourse, lists are a helpful device to express opinions and slogans in a constrained space (for example, on Twitter) through a cohesive and coherent collection of elements placed on the same level around a semantic area that the recipients must interpret. This article examines how verbal lists exploit two basic textual strategies in Italian public discourse. The first strategy consists of a collection with precise extensional boundaries and no alternative items. The second is an assortment of items that allude to a set of possibilities with nuanced extensional boundaries. Through these two strategies, the recipient can create two textual semiotic modalities due to the inference procedures: lists with a closed textual modality, closed fabula, and lists with an open textual modality, open fabula (Eco 1979a).
L’analyse sérielle des œuvres picturales
Authors: Fontanille Jacques
Published: December 2023

We cannot reduce a pictorial work to an image or painting. As a work, it invokes, from the outset, other paintings, sketches, variants, a creative practice, a know-how, materials and gestures, forms of legitimation, exhibition, publication and archiving devices, etc. Therefore, we can consider each painting part of one or several series. The work is then the series, not each of the paintings taken separately. We thus adopt a conception of the work as fundamentally being plural, hybrid, heterogeneous, and one of the effects of this is the series. If we consider a painting as an image, the presentation space is flat and delimited by edges: exploration and interpretation are constrained by this elementary topology. But, if one adopts the perspective of the work as a series, the evoked space-time is multiple, stratified, and multi-dimensional. Choosing the serial analysis of the works does not imply that they are already classified as ‘serial’ but that the method that will apply to them will reveal serial properties. In this article, seriality is approached only in a comparative way, as the comparison of the work of two painters who oppose formidable difficulties: an Iranian painter, Medhi Sahabi, and a French painter, Georges Laurent. In both cases, the serial structure and meaning have a concrete impact on understanding the work and the choices we must make when presenting them in public: How do we organize the exhibition? How do you configure the archiving? From a methodological viewpoint, this serial analysis involves identifying the syntagmatic forms of associations and metamorphoses within the series and then the properties of the space-time in which they unfold.
La crise d’accumulation du passé au risque de la mort des sémiophores
Authors: Jacobi Daniel
Published: December 2023

Many museums have undertaken to dispose of their collections. They are forced to do so by the overcrowding of their storerooms and the real estate pressure in the centers of the large cities where they are located. Should all or part of the collections be discarded, donated, or digitized? Because of the detailed inventory, the ten-yearly recoiling, and the creation of the French Joconde database, supposed to gather all the descriptions and photographic reproductions of all the works and items of the 1,100 museums in France, the management of the collections has become a colossal task that may never be completed. There is a high risk that the disappearance of the collections will be accompanied by the de-semiotization of the museological masterpieces created and set up in the different types of exhibition discourse in the course of the history of museums and their exhibitions.
The Interplay of Job Satisfaction, Work-Life Balance, and Mental Health in the Era of Social Media
Authors: Astanakulov Olim , Abdullayeva Nozima , Abdurakhimova Feruza , Nasimbek Azizov
Published: December 2023

The conceptual study aims to answer crucial questions like the relationship between social media exposure and mental health outcomes. The current research gap is provided by reviewing existing studies and providing clear evidence that unregulated and unlimited social media poses a threat to enterprises and individuals, with potentially lasting consequences to psychological wellbeing, pointing towards the need for strategic interventions and policy developments to mitigate these adverse effects. Building upon insights into the work environment and employee psychology, these findings are valuable for leaders and managers. They enhance understanding of how employee perceptions of their work environment, intrinsic and extrinsic work-related attitudes, and psychological wellbeing collectively influence job performance. While existing literature has explored various leadership styles, the specific moderating impact of the supervisor’s role on job satisfaction and performance requires further study.
Factors of Job Satisfaction in the Czech Republic
Authors: Stritesky Vaclav
Published: December 2023

The paper aims to identify overall job satisfaction in the Czech Republic and explore its differences between the various economic sectors. It also provides a comprehensive view of potential influence factors on job satisfaction with the emphasis on sociodemographic variables and job characteristics. This study aims to offer a different perspective on the issue of job satisfaction, which is often analyzed in conditions of one specific organization. In the Czech Republic, a study analyzing the global situation of job satisfaction in terms of sociodemographic variables has not been published yet. The study is based on quantitative research using personal interviews. Data were collected in cooperation with the research agency Median, s.r.o. within its research project Market & Media & Lifestyle. The size of the sample is over 15,000 respondents. Tests for the homogeneity of binomial proportions and logistic regression are used. The paper provides a comprehensive view of job satisfaction in the Czech market. The influencing factors of job satisfaction are discussed. These results can be used when assessing the level of job satisfaction of various groups of Czech employees in terms of specific companies. The paper includes implications for assessing the effectiveness of various HR policies on the job satisfaction of various groups of employees in the Czech Republic. This comprehensive macro perspective on the issue of job satisfaction may lead to the conclusion that some socio-demographic groups of employees may generally exhibit a lower level of job satisfaction regardless of the specific conditions of the company. This paper provides a different perspective on the issue often examined in the conditions of the Czech Republic, which is still missing and is frequently published in other countries.
Study of the therapeutic effects of Icelandic natural landscape images. A case study of Chinese tourists
Authors: Bao Guotai
Published: December 2023

The study employs a comprehensive experimental methodology, utilizing a diverse collection of photographs organized into 18 distinct groups. There are three main objectives. First, it explores the cultural and psychological factors that make Icelandic landscapes so therapeutic for the Chinese. Second, it aims to prove how photographs of natural landscapes (two-dimensional images) can have a healing effect on individuals. Third, it strives to create a model for sorting healing photographs and making them useful for selecting images for healing albums.

A Likert-scale questionnaire was distributed to 1,000 participants from China, 500 individuals who have visited Iceland, and 500 who have not. This diverse pool consists of 500 males and 500 females, spanning ages from 10 to 80.

The results reveal the top-ranked landscapes and significant improvements in participants’ psychological well-being after viewing the pictures. The findings support the therapeutic nature of the curated collection of forty photographs, providing inspiration and promoting well-being through the beauty and transformative power of nature. This experimental investigation contributes to an understanding of healing landscapes and their potential in assisting psychological therapy and landscape design.
