Human trafficking and slavery offenders in Australia
Authors: Simmons Frances , O'Brien Brynn , David Fiona , Beacroft Laura
Published: February 2024

There is a lack of international and Australian research about offenders who have been convicted of human trafficking, slavery and slave-like practices. In Australia, 15 offenders have been convicted of such crimes. The publicly available court judgments about these offenders contain invaluable information about the characteristics and motivations of offenders, the intersection of trafficking offending with other forms of criminality and the common methods offenders use to control and exploit their victims. By analysing these cases, this paper provides an accessible and timely assessment of offenders who commit human trafficking, slavery and slave-like crimes in Australia. This paper is part of a wider program of research undertaken by the AIC on this type of crime in Australia and the Asia–Pacific region, which is funded by the Australian Government as part of its national Action Plan to Eradicate Trafficking in Persons.
Mobile device forensics: A snapshot
Authors: Tassone Christopher , Martini Ben , Choo Kim-Kwang , Slay Jill
Published: February 2024

In the increasingly dynamic environment of mobile forensics, this paper provides an overview of the capabilities of three popular mobile forensic tools on three mobile phones based on Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android and RIM’s BlackBerry operating systems. The paper identifies where each specific tool is best applied and also describes the limitations of each in accessing contacts, call history, message data (SMS, MMS and emails), media files and other data. New releases of forensic tools and mobile operating systems may change the way the data are acquired and preserved in the future. It is therefore hoped that future research will continue to provide the digital forensics community with the most up-to-date overview of mobile forensics capabilities.
Good practice lessons from Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards winners
Authors: Anderson Jessica , Terer Kiptoo
Published: February 2024

The Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards (ACVPA) is a national awards program administered by the Australian Institute of Criminology that recognises innovative crime prevention projects that embody good practice. This paper provides an assessment of six ACVPA national winners from 2009 and 2010, with a focus on determining reasons for their success and the factors that appear to play a role in sustaining effective crime prevention programs. Essential to the success of many of these projects was the time taken to tailor approaches that suited the individual needs of clients. Emphasis was also placed on the important role played by local businesses and the wider community. Although it was difficult to identify the impact of winning an ACVPA on future project success for the small number of projects sampled for this paper, winning an ACVPA appeared to provide a foundation for pursuing other activities and ‘legitimised’ the project to the community and other agencies.
Motor vehicle pursuit-related fatalities in Australia, 2000–11
Authors: Lyneham Mathew , Hewitt-Rau Alana
Published: February 2024

Across the spectrum of operational policing activities, one situation that poses a degree of risk to community safety is when an alleged offender chooses to flee in a vehicle. In the worst case, the offender, police members or other bystanders may be injured or killed. Every motor vehicle pursuit that ends in a death is a tragedy and one that impacts not only on the families and friends of the deceased, but also on the police members involved in the incident. In this analysis of data from the Australian Institute of Criminology’s National Deaths in Custody Program, the National Coronial Information System and from police agencies across Australia, it was found that although fluctuating, the number of pursuit-related crashes and fatalities has generally declined over the last 12 years with an average of 15 crashes and 18 deaths each year. Further, the rate of death has also remained relatively stable since 2004, with the exception of two small increases in the rate in 2006 and 2009. It was also found that fatal pursuits most commonly involved young males under the age of 25 years and that in almost nine out of every 10 cases, the alleged offender driving the vehicle being pursued had consumed alcohol, drugs or a combination of both prior to the incident. The authors conclude by identifying several areas in need of further research that would improve understanding of motor vehicle pursuits and provide policymakers with a stronger evidence base for reform.

Authors: Estrada Pastrana Harlis , Blanco Lobo Jafeth , Flores Soto Andrea , Rodríguez Reyes Elvin
Published: February 2024

La encefalitis por anticuerpos contra el receptor N-metil-D-aspartato (NMDA) tiene una incidencia de 5-10/100 000 habitantes al año. Debido a su amplio espectro de manifestaciones neuropsiquiátricas puede ser confundida con un síndrome psiquiátrico. Su etiopatogenia se ha asociado con antecedentes de infecciones y procesos paraneoplásicos, no obstante, la presencia de estas no es imprescindible para desarrollar la enfermedad. Descripción de caso clínico: Se presenta el caso clínico de un niño de 17 años con antecedente de epilepsia controlada de 16 años de evolución que presenta cambios conductuales, confusión y alucinaciones de 3 semanas de evolución, sumado a esto una única crisis convulsiva tónico clónica y estado de agitación; razón por la que es llevado al servicio de emergencias. Inicialmente, fue manejado como síndrome psicótico con haloperidol a dosis terapéuticas. En evaluaciones posteriores se identificó alteraciones de laboratorio de la Creatina-fosfocinasa (CPK) alteraciones del movimiento y consciencia, por lo que se sospechó de síndrome neuroléptico maligno. El niño con deterioro rápido y progresivo de su estado neurológico requirió atención en Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátrica (UCIP) con soporte ventilatorio, además, se evidenciaron disautonomías debido a lo cual se sospechó Encefalitis Autoinmune (EA). Se inició manejo con inmunomoduladores mostrando buena evolución clínica y luego se confirmó el diagnóstico por medio de anticuerpos anti- NMDA en Líquido cefalorraquideo (LCR) positivos. Conclusión: La EA contra receptor NMDA es una entidad poco frecuente que debe ser considerada dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales de un cuadro psiquiátrico. Su diagnóstico tardío o erróneo implica múltiples secuelas neurológicas.

Comparative Competence of Science Educators on the New Licensure Examination as Basis for a Review Program
Authors: Camara Jun S.
Published: February 2024

The demand to prepare future science educators for national board examinations necessitates teacher training institutions to assess the licensure competence of pre-service teachers. In the case of the Philippines, the Licensure Examination for Teachers or LEPT has new competencies, which have not been fully assessed on the perspective of pre-service teachers. In this, the researcher assessed and compared the self-reported competence of alumni (a, n=38) and ongoing pre-service teachers (o, n=43) of a large state university in the Philippines. To do this, the researcher developed a survey-questionnaire with contents based on the Enhanced Table of Specifications or TOS for LEPT which was first implemented in March 2023 in the Philippines, the survey was conducted during the 1st semester of S.Y. 2023-2023. Results revealed that the pre-service teachers (n=81) have high level of competence for the LEPT. Further, the level of competence of alumni is comparable to those of on-going students. However, a significant difference was found in competencies related to Challenging Activities in Science, Assessment Tools, Basic Biotechniques, and Waves and Optics, where alumni demonstrated a significantly higher competence. To provide continuity for the findings, the researcher proposes a review program for Filipino pre-service teachers based on the findings. Furthermore, the researcher recommends that a content-competency alignment will be conducted between the Enhanced TOS of LEPT and the latest relevant issuances on Policies, Standards and Guidelines (PSGs) for Education degree programs issued by the Commission on Higher Education. Moreover, a curriculum mapping is recommended between the Enhanced TOS and the MATATAG Curriculum for Science. To provide an international perspective, the researcher recommends an analysis of licensure competencies for teachers among ASEAN countries.

Authors:   School of Biosciences, Biotechnology, University of Nottingham, England, United Kingdom, Miteu Goshen David
Published: February 2024

Aptamers were studied to see if they could be designed as a rapid detector for viable spoilage organisms in beer. SELEX was used to obtain aptamers from random libraries of oligonucleotides that could bind to A. aceti. 13 SELEX rounds were performed to get specific aptamers, whole and counter cell-SELEX was employed. Aptamers’ binding ability to A. aceti was tested by flow cytometry and confirmed to bind by synthesizing them with fluorescent labels (5’FAM). ANOVA and a one-sample test revealed significant difference in the binding ability of selected aptamers (P < 0.05). A12 and A10 showed the highest fluorescent intensity (180 and 150) for binding ability. Flow cytometry test for the binding specificity of aptamers and their truncated sequence in comparison with other organisms revealed selected aptamers to be specific to A. aceti cells having the highest mean fluorescence intensity values of 120 ± 3.8 (A12), 119 ± 5.2 (TA12), 110 ± 4.5 (A10) and 111 ± 6.2 (TA10). The best predicted folding structure of selected aptamers from mFold was determined from the Gibbs free energy (A10: ΔG = -4.40, TA10: ΔG = 0.07, A12: ΔG = - 4.96, TA12: ΔG = 0.43). Sigmaplot showed no dose-dependent relationship for detection in candidate aptamers. A12 had a low KD value of 11.22 ± 1.32 nM which further validated it as the best aptamer for detecting A. aceti in beer.

This study evaluated the physicochemical, functional and proximate composition of wheat and tigernut composite flour; and proximate composition and sensory properties of Chin-chin produced from the wheat-tigernut flours blends. The addition of tigernut flour to wheat was 10, 20, 30 and 40% representing sample A – D while 100% wheat flour (sample E) served as control. Analyses were by standard analytical procedures. pH, titratable acidity and viscosity of the flour samples ranged from 4.03 - 4.37, 0.39 - 0.80 %Lactic acid, and 9.38 - 9.58 Pa.s respectively, while sugar was 1.00 0Brix across all samples. Oil absorption capacity, water absorption capacity, dispersibility, solubility index, swelling power, bulk density and foaming capacity varied respectively from 1.22 - 1.40 g/g 1.14 - 1.34 g/g, 2.00 - 4.13%, 35.00 - 37.00 g/g, 6.45 - 7.48 g/g, 0.83 - 0.90 g/ml and 5.00 - 20.00%. Proximate composition of the flour blends varied respectively, from 5.55 - 8.79, 9.28-18.36, 2.12 - 10.91, 1.70 - 2.01, 1.31- 4.17 and 64.78-74.06% for moisture, protein, fat, ash, crude fibre, and % carbohydrates. While energy value of the flours ranged from 351.89 - 405.32 kcal/100g. Chin-chin had moisture, protein, fat, ash, crude fibre, carbohydrate and energy contents of 1.85 - 8.64, 10.06 - 16.18, 24.25 - 34.29, 1.20 - 1.70, 14.65 - 27.42, 20.79 - 41.65% and 418.03 - 493.27 kcal/100g respectively. Assessor’s degree of likeness for the chin-chin ranged from 2.85 - 7.15, 3.56 - 7.85, 3.05 - 6.60, 3.25 - 7.10, 3.65 - 8.00 and 3.06 - 7.26 respectively, for aroma, appearance, colour, crunchiness, taste, and overall acceptability. Tigernut inclusion led to a significant (p<0.05) increase in ash, fibre and carbohydrate while moisture decreased. Chin-chin from sample A with 10% tigernut flour had the highest degrees of likeness followed by sample B with 20% tigernut flour. For diversification in the use of tigernut flour, the inclusion of up to 20% can be recommended for full application in the baking industry.
COVID-19 and Advice Speech Act: A Syntactic-Pragmatic Study
Authors: Ahmed Samara M. , Rushdi Ali. E. , Saber Ahmed F. , Ali Ibrahim H.
Published: February 2024

Advising is a significant activity in a number of organizational health settings, including face-to-face counseling and the dissemination of information via pamphlets, posters, television, and Internet. Health-related advice includes anything from medicine to stopping smoking, getting immunized, and modifying one's diet. A strange sickness initially manifested itself in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. This disease spread rapidly over the world and was eventually named coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Due to the disease's global expansion, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a pandemic, which indicates that it is spreading among individuals in a large number of nations, resulting in mortality. In early May, the WHO announced that more than 200 thousand individuals had died. The situation is worse, as the number of reported cases continues to rise daily. The purpose of this study is to shed light on the language of acts and advising actions, as well as the right method of advising. The advising act verbs and COVID-19 can be investigated syntactically and pragmatically. There is an effective function for advice speeches in relation to COVID-19 announcements and advice. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between the number of mistakes and accuracy in the eight questions across the eight groups. The study's findings indicate that Iraqi students do not follow health recommendations supplied by foreign health organizations. Concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, WHO is one of the leaders capable of effectively managing its concerns and taking proactive measures to contain the disease by issuing directives addressing the viruses as contagious agents. By including these characteristics of syntactic-pragmatic advising acts, these sorts of actions may be comprehended and executed by everyone in any scenario when speaking. Iraqi EFL learners had an unsatisfactory performance evaluation result as a result of inadequate teaching of PV in connection with public advice during the COVID-19 epidemic.
Voices Unheard: Enhancing English-Speaking Skills among Technical Learners at Industrial Training Institute by Implementing Task-Based Language Teaching
Authors: E Kiruthiga , Christopher G.
Published: February 2024

ITIs offer practical training in various technical trades, which enables students to enter the workforce faster than other traditional degrees. However, graduates from ITIs often need better communication skills to advance in their careers, leading to stagnant pay scales. To tackle this issue, a study was conducted to improve English-speaking skills among ITI students by implementing a task-based language teaching approach. A true experimental design was used for this study. The sample consisted of 76 ITI students who were randomly assigned to two groups: control (n=38) and experimental (n=38). Technical learners were given ample opportunities to practice their English-speaking skills and receive instructors feedback. The study showed significant improvement in the student’s ability to communicate professionally. This study suggests that incorporating task-based language teaching into the ITI curriculum can significantly benefit students by enhancing their employment prospects and potential for career growth. Since the allocated tasks replicate the practical training, technical learners perceive them as readily achievable.
Mengeja Ideologi Negara Bangsa di Tanah Tumbuh Sunyi (Telaah Semiotika Tonil Djula Gubi Karya Bung Karno)
Authors: Robot Marselus
Published: February 2024

Tulisan ini bertujuan memeriksa pikiran Soekarno tentang  negara bangsa  yang direpresentasikan dalam bentuk Tonil selama masa pembuangannya di Ende (1934-1938). Pembuangan di Ende merupakan usaha  Belanda untuk menggunting arus  koneksitas Bung Karno dengan massa Jawa dan perkumpulan politik yang menghidupkan api perjuangan. Di kota kecil yang jauh dan rabun dari perapian politik, Bung Karno diganjar kesepian epsitemik yang begitu akut. Namun, kesepian akut itu pula yang merimbunkan talenta seninya  untuk menggarap tonil-tonil. Memeriksa pikiran Bung Karno dalam tonil menggunakan teori semiotika atau ilmu tanda, terutama perspektif Chales Sander Peirce. Pemilihan kajian semiotik sesungguhnya karena objek yang dikaji adalah lakon (tonil). Karya seni sejenis tonil, sandiwara atau film adalah tanda yang merepresentasi makna atau peristiwa tertentu. Peirce  mengategorikan tanda atas representamen, objek yang dirujuk tanda, dan interpretant yakni makna atau konsep yang digunakan oleh pemakai tanda.  Salah satu tonil (sandiwara) yang sangat kuat menyampaikan pesan persatuan adalah Djula Gubi. Judul yang diambil dari nama tokoh utama, seorang putra Irian yang sering dilecehkan oleh teman-temannya karena perbedaan warna kulit. Perbedaan itulah yang menyebabkan Indonesia kesulitan bersatu untuk melawan penjajah. Dalam posisi demikian Bung  Karno berada di simpang simalakama. Pada satu simpang, ia harus mempersatukan Indonesia yang beragam dengan derivasi perbedaannya. Pada sisi lain, ia harus berjuang melawan kolonial Belanda. Padahal, perjuangan melawan penjajah hanya berhasil bila bangsa Indonesia bersatu. Gagasan inilah yang menjadi ion-ion pembentuk salah satu sila Pancasila yakni “Persatuan Indonesia.

The increase in population and increasing human needs along with the times has resulted in an increasing need for non-renewable energy. To reduce dependence on petroleum fuels, one way is to produce biodiesel fuel whose raw materials are obtained from plants. Biodiesel is a fuel that contains ester compounds from plants and animal fats and can be used as an alternative fuel with great potential as a substitute for diesel. This form of methyl ester or ethyl ester compound is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and economical. Coconut (Cocos nucifera) is a type of plant that has one glycerin unit and a number of fatty acids in every coconut oil molecule. Coconut oil has the potential to produce Coco methyl ester which can be used as a raw material for biodiesel. Used cooking oil is used oil from household (domestic) fryers whose remaining frying results or waste is immediately thrown into the environment. According to research from Kumar, the use of coconut oil as a raw material for making biodiesel is able to streamline time and the use of chemicals as solvents in the transesterification process. Before carrying out this research, a preliminary test should be carried out, by testing the %FFA, pH and density of the mixture of used cooking oil and coconut oil. This was done as a reference for further research. The %FFA in the mixture of used cooking oil and coconut oil was the highest at a ratio of 75: 25 (MJ: MK) %FFA value: 4.4%. The pH of the mixture between used cooking oil and coconut oil has the same value, namely: 5 and the specific gravity obtained is: 0.8 gram/ml

Authors: Tameish Sara , Dolz-Güerri Fernando , Magriñá Alba Cabello , Díaz Tapiador Sebastián
Published: February 2024

Fetal blood scalp sampling (FBS) is a critical obstetrical procedure used to assess intrapartum fetal well-being. Unfortunately, standardized task trainers for training Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN) residents in this technique are currently lacking. In response to this gap, we present a cost-effective task trainer designed to assist trainees in mastering the art of performing FBS.

We provide a step-by-step guideline for the development of a cost-effective task trainer tailored for simulating FBS. Six OB-GYN residents underwent a structured theoretical session followed by practical training with the task trainer. Pre- and post-training questionnaires were administered to evaluate the simulator’s efficacy as an educational tool.

All participants acknowledged the task trainer’s efficacy in enhancing their understanding of the procedure, resulting in elevated knowledge and confidence across all assessed aspects. Furthermore, every participant endorsed the training for fellow trainees and “agreed or strongly agreed” that the simulator faithfully replicated the procedural experience.

This low-cost simulation model for FBS is a valuable training tool with high acceptance and satisfaction rates among participants. Its use has the potential to improve patient safety and increases participants confidence in performing the procedure.

ANALYSIS OF FAILURE IN SUBJECTS RELATED TO CHEMISTRY AND THE CREATION OF A LEVELING DISCIPLINE
Authors: De Mendonça Maria Lucia Teixeira Guerra , Vieira Flávia de Almeida , Santi Carla Bilheiro , Da Cruz Rosana Petinatti
Published: February 2024

This work aims to analyze the low performance in General Chemistry I and Environmental Chemistry disciplines between the years 2012-2 to 2016-2 in the Superior Course of Environmental Management at the Federal Institute of Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ) of Campus Maracanã; to report the creation of a leveling discipline called "Fundamentals of Chemistry" which was intended to alleviate the low performance in disciplines related to Chemistry due to high retention and consequently the dropout of students; also to investigate student performance after the introduction of this discipline in the course between the years 2017-1 and 2018-2. The methodology used was the creation of graphs that could show the percentage of students failing in these two disciplines over the years, before the creation of the leveling discipline and after. The results were very worrying, the subject of Environmental Chemistry had rates above 60% of failures, only in the year 2016-1 was 13%, in the subject of General Chemistry I the situation was much worse, with the lowest rate in 2014 -1 and 2015-1 equal to 59%. After the creation of the leveling discipline, the results improved significantly for the Environmental Chemistry discipline, but not for the General Chemistry I discipline, which still showed high failure rates. It is concluded that it is still necessary to investigate more about this situation of disapproval, retention and that it probably leads to evasion.

Completeness of derivation algebras of finite commutative group algebras
Authors: Creedon Leo , Hughes Kieran
Published: February 2024

This paper studies the set of derivations of a commutative group algebra over a finite field. The Lie algebra formed from this set by defining multiplication as the Lie commutator is shown to have trivial center. Also, the Lie algebra of derivations of the group algebra $KG$ is shown to be complete, whenever $K$ is a finite field of characteristic $p$, and $G$ is a finite abelian group such that its Sylow $p$-subgroup is elementary abelian.
On certain Diophantine equations concerning the areas and perimeters of rational triangles
Authors: Li Yangcheng , Zhang Yong
Published: February 2024

In this work, we consider the following two Diophantine problems that arise from the search of pairs of rational triangles whose areas and perimeters are in certain relations. The first problem is about finding pairs of rational triangles whose products between area and perimeters are the same. The second one is to find the pairs of rational triangles sharing the same perimeter and whose product of areas is a perfect square. We show that if certain elliptic curves have rational points which satisfy some conditions, then there are infinitely many pairs of such triangles.
Solvability and nilpotency of expanded groups with chain conditions
Authors: Peterson Gary L. , Scott Stuart D.
Published: February 2024

An earlier paper by the authors on abelian and central factors of expanded groups obtained a list of cases where solvability (nilpotency) of the group reduct of the expanded group, viewed as a nearring module over the nearring of 0-preserving polynomial functions of the expanded group, implies solvability (nilpotency) of the expanded group provided the expanded group has no nonabelian factors of order 2. In this note, we shall extend this list to include the cases where the expanded group has the ascending or descending chain condition on its ideals.

Pax post-Sovietica? The final end of post-Sovietness
Authors: Konończuk Wojciech
Published: February 2024

This article argues that use of the terms ʻpost-Soviet states’ or ʻpost-Soviet region’ does
more to obscure than to explain anything. Although these terms have become anachronistic and misleading as they suggest a group of countries that still have much in common, they are still used because the area is traditionally and erroneously perceived as
a certain whole with shared rules. The disintegration of this territory that has been visible since 1991 is no surprise but indicates a return to the situation before the Russian
Empire’s expansion and colonization efforts. A process of restoration of historically great
macroregions is taking place in the area: Eastern Europe, the Southern Caucasus, and
Central Asia, each of which has a different cultural and civilizational identity, resulting
in profound differences in their political and economic systems along with the pluralization of the influences of international actors. Despite Russian attempts to curb the territory’s political, economic, and social disintegration, it has proved unstoppable and is
being accelerated by Russian policy. Moscow’s once hegemonic position in the region
is becoming a thing of the past. Russia is no longer an attractive partner as it has become
not a source of modernization, ideas, and technologies, but of problems and a threat to
security and stability
Farewell to Imagined Post-Sovietness. Is it Still Justified to Use the Term ‘Post-Soviet’?

The TWENTIETH-CENTURY Colonialism within Ukrainian Academic and Public Discourse in the Era of Independence
Authors: Prymachenko Yana
Published: February 2024

The article analyses the notion post-, anti- colonialism in Ukrainian political and public
discourse since 1991. The author focuses on the debate about coloniality and its reflections on Ukrainian political thought in ХХ century. The first part of the article devotes
to the problems of applying postcolonial theories to the Ukrainian context and the specifics of the relationship between the Soviet Union’s center and the national republics
that represented the periphery. The second part analyses the influence of the legacy of
Ukrainian national communists on the notion of colonialism in contemporary Ukrainian
historiography, while the third part focus on the processes of decolonization represented
in public discourse. Finally, the author analyses how Euromaidan launched the politics
of decommunization and how it affected the post-Soviet space.
From state terror to international conflict. A place of memory: Katyn as a foreign policy tool of Putin’s Russia
Authors: Sniegon Tomas
Published: February 2024

This text discusses the transformations of the Katyn memorial site near Smolensk in
western Russia, where, in 1940, the mass murder of more than 4,000 Polish military officers who were prisoners of war occurred. After the Soviet Union’s admission of guilt
in 1990, it seemed for two decades that Katyn could also serve as a place for mutual
reconciliation between post-communist Poland and post-Soviet Russia. However, in
the period of increasing tension between Russia and Poland after 2010, the monument
in Katyn became an object of Russian–Polish confrontation. The author concludes that
the Katyn memorial complex today illustrates the tendency to patriotize and detraumatize Soviet crimes, whereby the positive events of the Soviet era – especially the victory
over Germany in World War II – are ‘Russified’ and newly politically traumatized in parallel with the trivialization and marginalization of murder and crimes against human
rights. The new form of memory in Katyn reflects an increasingly firmly dictated line
from above that combines Russian nationalism, Orthodox faith, and a sentimental view
of the period of Communist rule.
“I only do it to stay alive”. Development of the Narrative of “Unification of the Western Lands of Ukraine and Belarus with the Ukrainian and Belarusian Soviet Republics” in Soviet Historical Propaganda.
Authors: Szumski Jan
Published: February 2024

The article analyses selected aspects of the formation of the historical propaganda narrative of the unification of the lands of Western Ukraine with the Ukrainian SSR and of
Western Belarus with the Belarusian SSR as well as the participation of individual historians deliberately involved or for various reasons forced to take part in developing the academic justification for the change in borders. The knowledge and authority of scholars
often originating from the pre-revolutionary school were necessary for creating a historical narrative legitimizing the change in policy and reinforcing the propaganda message.
The Kishinev pogrom of 1903 in the Russian Socio-Political Narrative
Authors: Norkina Еkaterina
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the Russian socio-political narrative regarding
the tragedy in Kishinev in 1903. By “narrative” in this study, the author means, first of
all, what was expressed in the press by the authorities, public figures, and correspondents whose publications were addressed to the Russian-speaking readership. Among
the most frequently discussed topics are the search for the main culprit, the reasons for
the pogroms, and the actions of the authorities. The main sources used are periodicals
expressing the views of different political forces of the Russian Empire. The author concludes that the boundaries of ideological orientation were blurred in statements about
the Kishinev tragedy. The conviction that the pogroms were organized and prepared in
advance matured more and more among those who spoke publicly, but not all those who
spoke out pointed to the authorities as the main organizer. The Russian socio-political
narrative regarding the Kishinev tragedy was supplemented by a “Western” narrative: as
a result, confidence in the government’s involvement in Russian society grew stronger
A Recognition Question of a Genocide: Russian Atrocities in the North Caucasus
Authors: Kumuk Cem
Published: February 2024

Throughout history, violence has been an indispensable part of the Russian state tradition. Not only non-Russian subjects but also ethnic Russians have experienced their
share of this tradition. In many cases, this tradition has turned into genocidal practices
against non-Russian subjects. Due to the current political bottlenecks of the international community, this article focuses on the difficulties experienced in the recognition
of these crimes against humanity and examines the genocidal practices of the Russian
state in the North Caucasus, especially the Circassian Genocide in the nineteenth century. For more than two centuries, Russian state politics has been trying to erase the term
“the Caucasus” as a geographical term in international public opinion and to make this
region part of Southern Russia by cleansing or assimilating the indigenous North Caucasian nations. While the article focuses on the ‘velikorus’ (Great Russian) practices in
the Tsarist and Soviet periods, it draws attention to the fact that there have been similar
examples in the first thirty years of the so-called Russian federal state
Теорії та концепції сучасного адміністративного управління у глобальному і національному вимірах
Authors: Маркевич Ю. О.
Published: February 2024

Актуальність дослідження зумовлена необхідністю синтезу теоретичних основ і практичних ідей представників різних наукових підходів для розуміння сучасних тенденцій та майбутніх напрямків адміністративного управління, зокрема в Україні. Метою статті є аналіз та узагальнення теорій і концепцій сучасного адміністративного управління на глобальному рівні та специфіки їх використання і впровадження в Україні. Для досягнення цієї мети використано методи аналізу літературних та джерел, узагальнення, синтезу та порівняльно-історичний. У статті за результатами аналізу літературних джерел описано формування динамічної природи сучасного адміністративного управління під впливом історичних соціально-економічних теорій і сучасної практики. У цьому контексті виявлено інтеграцію різних теорій управління, значний вплив технологій і зростання важливості гнучкості, етики та міжкультурного порозуміння для забезпечення ефективності адміністративного управління. Виокремлено та охарактеризовано основні сучасні теорії та концепції адміністративного управління. На основі аналізу сучасного українського бізнес-середовища та наукового дискурсу виокремлено специфічні елементи концепцій адміністративного бізнес-менеджменту, які є поширеними в Україні: централізоване управління, ієрархічна структура, формалізація процесів, орієнтація на результат, адаптація до змін, розвиток корпоративної культури, використання технологій, впровадження інновацій. Зроблено висновок про те, що вивчення сучасних теорій і концепцій адміністративного менеджменту розкриває сутність сучасних бізнес-процесів. Сучасні концепції адміністративного управління в сукупності формують напрями функціонування сучасних підприємств, відображаючи перехід до більш інтегрованих, відповідальних і адаптивних методів управління. Теоретичне значення дослідження полягає в аналізі та узагальненні наукових підходів до формування теоретичних засад адміністративного управління, що викладені у працях провідних науковців. Практична цінність статті зумовлена формулюванням сучасних концептуальних підходів до адміністративного бізнес-менеджменту, які можуть бути застосовані для оптимізації управління українськими підприємствами. Перспективи подальших досліджень полягають в аналізі особливостей впровадження сучасних концепцій адміністративного управління в кризових умовах, пов’язаних із війною в Україні.
