Editorial. To cite or not to cite? Text recycling in scholarly writing
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Kazan, Russia, Bisimbaeva Dinara
Published: April 2024

Text recycling is widely discussed in the research community. However, editors and authors may have contrasting opinions on this matter. What are the reasons for their disagreement, in what sections text recycling is appropriate and how to avoid self-plagiarism? In this editorial I am going to illuminate these issues. In the guidelines for editors the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) defines text recycling as the use of the same text in several publications of an author (Risser, 2020). According to Professor Cary Moskovitz from Duke University, this practice involves small text fragments that are amended to a slight extent between publications (ibid, 2020). Earlier policies on text recycling applied the term “self-plagiarism”, which was disused due to inaccurate implications. Lately, the definition was elaborated. Text recycling is currently perceived as the reuse of textual information in a new document where 1) material is identical or almost identical to the original work, 2) the material is not presented as a direct quote, 3) one author of the new document is also an author of the previous document (Hall et al., 2021).
От редактора. Цитировать или не цитировать? Проблема самоцитирования в научных статьях
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Kazan, Russia, Bisimbaeva Dinara
Published: April 2024

Проблема самоцитирования широко обсуждается в научном сообществе. При этом позиция редакторов и авторов может не совпадать по этому вопросу. Из-за чего происходят разногласия, в каких разделах научной статьи самоцитирование является правомерным и как избежать недобросовестного цитирования? В настоящей статье я постараюсь осветить данные моменты. В своих рекомендациях для редакторов Комитет по публикационной этике COPE определяет самоцитирование как использование одинаковых фрагментов текста в разных произведениях одного автора (Risser, 2020). По словам профессора университета Дьюка Кэри Московица, речь идет о небольших фрагментах текста, которые подвергаются незначительным изменениям при последующей публикации (ibid, 2020). Ранее использовали термин «самоплагиат», от которого позже отказались из-за неточности определения. Со временем термин был дополнен и в данный момент под самоцитированием понимают повторное использование текста в новом документе, где: 1) материал идентичен или существенно совпадает с первоисточником; 2) информация не оформлена в виде цитаты; 3) как минимум, один автор нового произведения является автором предыдущей работы (Hall et al., 2021).

This descriptive study aims to investigate the satisfaction levels of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors in their professional development activities at a language center situated in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. A total of 30 EFL teachers were solicited to provide data through a questionnaire, and six out of the 30 were further selected for participation in semi-structured interviews. This study incorporated two primary techniques for data analysis: descriptive statistics for the quantitative data and thematic analysis for the qualitative data. The study concludes that the EFL teachers exhibited a high level of satisfaction towards the existing professional development activities that involved mentorship, observation, feedback from experts, and learning from colleagues. These activities fostered a supportive, collaborative, and personalized approach to professional development, resulting in the enhancement of the teachers’ knowledge, skills, motivation, and job satisfaction. The results, accordingly, suggest that language centers should adopt a personalized, supportive, and collaborative approach to professional development while also addressing the various factors that hinder teachers’ interest in research and writing.

When students are internally motivated, they are most likely to maintain interest in learning, to persevere in their learning, and to experience greater academic success. According to self-determination theory, internal motivation is most facilitated by the satisfaction of the person’s basic psychological needs: for autonomy, competence and relatedness. The purpose of this study is to identify the specifics of supporting students’ basic psychological needs among doctoral students in various specialties. Data collection involved administration of the Psychological Need Supports scale, which assessed the satisfaction of basic psychological needs in the context of various relationships. Respondents were 463 doctoral students in six areas of education (physics, earth sciences, biology, chemistry, mathematics, information technology). The presence of differences in the degree of satisfaction and features of support of basic psychological needs in different relationships was revealed. In general, autonomy turned out to be the most satisfied need, and the need for relatedness turned out to be the least satisfied. In the system of close relationships (friends and mother), all three basic psychological needs were supported to a greater extent than in all systems of educational relations at the university. Comparison of various systems of relations at the university among themselves showed that the need for relatedness was most supported by colleagues and a supervisor, and the need for competence was supported by colleagues, while the need for competence was least supported by a supervisor, and the need for relatedness was least supported in the context of group classes. Patterns that emerged were stable over time. There were no differences in need satisfaction based on the field of study with one exception: doctoral students majoring in physics reported higher levels of support for the needs for competence and relatedness. The results provide guidance for supporting the internal motivation among students at higher levels of education.

A modern university is a space for professional exchange, spiritual search, formation, development and self-development of the individual, students and teachers. Studying the motivational structures of student youth's civic engagement helps teachers in the search for teaching and communication strategies, and also contributes to project activities. Student activity is considered as a complex process of social interaction, including communication and professional activities. The article presents a study of motivational structures that stimulate students to be active in cultural and educational projects. The experiment (February - August 2023, Kazan) was based on quantitative and qualitative methods, including a survey (158 people), analysis of successful cases, application of a narrative approach to the focus group method and expert interviews. It was revealed that motivational structures directly depend on the psychological profile of generations. For Generation X, the least significant motive is “Communication” (3.17 points) and the most significant motive is “Self-development” (4.83 points). For generation Y, the least important motive is “Presentation, personal brand” (2.47 points) and the most important is the “Knowledge” motive (4.84 points). For generation Z, this parameter, indicated as less significant, was rated at 3.83 points, the highest value for generation Z is the motive “Self-development” (4.93 points). For older respondents, the structure of motives becomes more complex, expanding the composition of the components that form the motive, which leads to more informed decision-making. The leading motive for participation in cultural projects for respondents of all ages was “Self-development.” The results of the study were tested in training programs by lecturers and students of the High School of Journalism of the Kazan Federal University when creating educational and cultural projects based on The Contemporary Art Gallery of the National Museum of Fine Arts (Kazan), which is aimed at youth audiences.

The article is devoted to the consideration of an approach, the relevance of which is due to modern linguodidactic research aimed at comparing various linguodidactic phenomena or studying various methods, technologies and techniques characteristic of foreign language education systems both at the international level and within the framework of a single linguistic culture. The purpose of the article was to substantiate the essence of the comparative approach by considering the development of linguodidactics, both from the point of view of retrospective analysis and the content side, as well as the analysis of the successive leading paradigms of the foreign language education system. Due to the specifics of the comparative approach, namely, as the main approach used for conducting scientific work through comparison, it is necessary to study and analyze the specifics of using the comparative approach for linguodidactic research. As a result of the analysis of works on comparative studies and intercultural communication, the need for a comparative approach as an element of scientific knowledge, acquisition and enrichment of methodological science in the field of foreign languages was described. It was also shown that the comparative approach under consideration not only does not exclude the existence of previously developed approaches, but complements them and takes linguodidactics to a new stage of development.

Digitalization of learning environment and learning individualization are among the key global trends of education transformation. Digital tools allow designing individual learning path for each student, and improving learning efficiency by considering entrance levels of skills and knowledge, personal specifics of information perception, and speed of acquiring new knowledge. Learning analytics tools are used to analyze student digital footprint data in order to not only forecast student success of failure at the following stages of the course, but to design the most optimal path to desired learning results through the use of adaptive learning tools. The current research was aimed at developing and testing an adaptive learning method for teaching of a University foreign language course. The adaptive learning method uses analysis tools to form unique individual learning trajectory for each student. Comparative analysis of different learning models was performed using data for 5,154 students. Conclusions were made on the advantages of adaptive learning and mixed learning model with active teacher’s role in student success monitoring. Successful experience of testing the adaptive learning method for teaching foreign language demonstrates practical value of research results, and allows their further use for implementing adaptive learning in higher education institutions.

The article looks at the two dimensions of skills, namely skills that entrepreneurs need and skills that can be obtained as a result of entrepreneurship education. The authors consider skills using two approaches: the Human Capital theory including the distinction between general and specific capital, and the typology by Dobryakova and Froumin which involves the distinction of three types: competence of thinking, competence of interaction with other people, and competence of interaction with oneself. The empirical material is based on a unique sample of respondents who have both entrepreneurial experience and experience in entrepreneurship education in one of the programs in Russia. The empirical base of the study consists of 82 semi-structured interviews with respondents from 9 educational initiatives aimed at entrepreneurship education. The data was collected using the method of semi-structured interviews. The authors have identified a gap between the skills that entrepreneurs need and the skills acquired in entrepreneurship education programs. Respondents have a more pronounced demand for general human capital, while their experience in education was focused primarily on the development of specific capital. Respondents have a request for general skills, for example, for competence in interacting with themselves (self-regulation skills, self-control), but they are taught more specific skills: accounting skills, programming skills, the skill of building/describing a business model. The results indicate the need for significant improvement of entrepreneurship education programs in order to more fully take into account the practical demand for skills.

The Port of Veracruz, Mexico was artificially built at the beginning of the 21st century, dredging the sea floor and removing reefs to allow the entry of large ships, which led to a growth in the traffic of goods and people through it, making it the largest commercial port in all of Mexico. In 1992 the Government of Mexico decreed the area of coastal reefs near the Port of Veracruz as a protected natural area with the name of the Parque Nacional Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano (PSNSAV). In 2013, with the demand of international trade, the decision was made to expand the port, generating job growth in the area and an increase in the flow of containers and automobiles, also have a greater capacity to transport cereals, minerals and fuels. In contrast to the disagreements of the society due to the loss of protected space, the Parks polygon had to be modified. This work try to demonstrated that the construction of the port expansion began previous the presentation to the environmental authorities of the Environmental Impact Statement and the change in the protected limits with the disappearance of the Punta Gorda reefs and the dredging of Vergara Bay for the arrival of deep draft vessels. Through a systematic mapping of the scientific literature combined with satellite mapping and visual interpretation of images, and documentary analysis, we determined the damage to the reef system, which has protected species according to Mexican national regulations.

Authors: Kumar Dharmendra , Mishra Binod
Published: April 2024

The article examines the select poetry and songs of Sahir Ludhianvi on the motifs of love, through the Marxist concept of 'reification'. It highlights, that institutions, especially Capitalism and the marriage system, strengthen the reified consciousness in which human beings consider love as an alienated entity. The feelings of love were polluted by Capitalist thought and imprisoned by the social norms; Sahir Ludhianvi aspired for a utopia, a Communist society, revolted against social norms and practices like 'marriage' etc. and deconstructed the capitalist conception of love. His artistic characteristics lie in the representation of 'beloved' in the sense of 'Communism', which can restore, in his eyes, the lost feelings of love. The study involves a textual analysis.
Inclusion of Librarians and Information Professionals in Canadian Knowledge Synthesis Grant Funding
Authors: Henshaw Brianna , Bradshaw Rachael , Geyer Aubrey
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Librarians are continually advocating for the expertise they can bring to knowledge synthesis research projects. Professional associations like the Canadian Health Libraries Association (CHLA) aim to promote librarians and information professionals as partners in health research. This push for representation must happen at a policy level in order to enact change. To that purpose, we explored the degree to which the inclusion of librarians and information professionals is represented at the funding level by healthcare research organizations in Canada.
Methods: We used a list of health research funding agencies generated from Scopus searches and an independent search of Canadian health research institutions, governmental health authorities, professional associations, and research-oriented universities to identify research grants designed for knowledge synthesis research. We examined these grants to determine whether they include librarians or information professionals in their eligibility criteria.
Results: Of the 14 knowledge synthesis grants we identified, only one required a medical librarian as a member of the research team in the grant eligibility criteria.
Discussion: Most knowledge synthesis grants in Canada do not require, recommend, or mention librarians or information professionals as a member of the research or authorship team. Despite evidence that librarians provide vital expertise on searching and are proven to substantially improve the quality of knowledge synthesis research projects, Canadian health research organizations do not acknowledge the skills that librarians and information professionals can bring to research projects at the funding level.

In the ‘New Cold War’ context, they identify a focal point, form coalitions, and coordinate strategies based on reactive anti-US policies and confrontations with coalitions involving ROK, the US, and Japan. However, differing perspectives on the ‘New Cold War’ and external factors leading to divergent focal points resulted in strategic uncertainty. Forming a stable grand coalition as an institution is challenging, and there is a risk of abandonment when forming a specific coalition based on interests. Moreover, the emergence of spoilers within the coalition breeds apprehension among other nations, rendering the coalition unsustainable. Consequently, the sustainability of the North Korea-China-Russia coalition diminishes, fostering ongoing non-cooperative behavior amidst a temporary phase of adhesion.

This study aims to identify the complex political structure of South Korea-Japan relations and domestic politics, focusing on the gap between government policy responses and public policy preferences. It presents an analytical framework using political system theory, and also uses data from public opinion polls conducted by the East Asian Institute (EAI) and Genron NPO from 2013 to 2023, a period of dynamics in Korea-Japan relations characterised by confrontation and improvement. The results are as follows. First, there is a gap between Korean attitudes towards Japan and government policies. And neither the conservative nor the liberal governments are dominated by policy performance. Second, Japanese attitudes towards Korea are indifferent and distrustful of politics, and the government’s performance evaluation is also unclear. Third, political trust is low in both Japan and Korea, and there is distrust of each other’s policies. In short, the mechanism of bilateral confrontation is a structural result of the synergistic effects of domestic distrust of the political process and distrust of the other country.

This study explores the association between South Koreans’ perceptions of neighboring countries, their views of unification, and their attitudes toward North Korea policy. By applying the framework of international image theory, this study categorizes national images and explores potential variations in attitudes toward unification and North Korea policies across different image types. The results are summarized as follows: Individuals who hold an imperial image of Japan feel are less inclined toward unification and tend to support status-quo North Korea policies. Conversely, those with an imperial image of the United States demonstrate the most proactive attitudes toward reunification, attempting to address the North and South Korean issues from a non-nationalist perspective. Respondents with a barbarian image of China, which is the most prevalent image in South Koreans, show a passive attitude toward unification, favoring peaceful coexistence similar to those with an imperial image of Japan. However, they oppose the notion that severing relations with North Korea is more beneficial, differing from the views of those who hold an imperial image of Japan. These findings suggest that evaluations of soft power are closely linked to the perceptions of neighboring countries. An improvement in cultural status leads to a barbarian image of neighboring countries, potentially fostering pessimistic attitudes toward achieving unification.
Gender-based Violence in Jeju 4·3 Incident

The Jeju 4·3 Incident constitutes state violence targeting civilians, including gender-based violence, mass killings, and war crimes. However, throughout the Cold War era, all acts of violence were justified and concealed under anti-communist ideology. In particular, gender-based violence perpetrated against the socially vulnerable during armed conflicts has remained largely silenced. This paper reframes the essence of the Jeju 4.3 Incident through the prism of gender-based violence. At that time, gender-based violence, primarily perpetrated by military and police forces of the Northwest Youth Corp, included violence and murder against pregnant women and fetuses, sexual torture, killing of escapees and their families, sexual assault and rape, sexual exploitation and murder, mass rape, forced marriage, and forced sexual acts, comprising eight types of mechanisms. These acts were combined with acts of violence constituting war crimes and crimes against humanity under international law, such as civilian killings, mass killings, and torture. Gender-based violence in the Jeju 4·3 Incident clearly indicates that it was a genocide approved by state power, involving indiscriminate killings and human rights abuses against civilians, which is beyond the level of suppressing certain leftist factions. Therefore, further investigation is necessary to redefine the nature of the Jeju 4·3 Incident.
An Analysis of the U.S. Response to the Park Chung-hee Government's Power Enhancement Policy: Focusing on the Management and Control of the U.S. Alliance

Published: April 2024

This article examines the response of the U.S. to the Korean government's power enhancement project in terms of alliance management. The Park Chung-hee administration resolved security concerns caused by increased threats from North Korea and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Korea, and promoted a policy to increase power for self-defense. A dual-path strategy was implemented by the Park Chung-hee administration's power enhancement policy, which combined the conventional power enhancement policy and the nuclear weapons development policy. The U.S. showed double-faced strategy to the Korea’s power enhancement policy. First, the U.S. was in a favorable position to Korea’s conventional power enhancement policy. Second, the U.S. thwarted Korea’s nuclear weapons development by checking and obstructing it. Through this study, it can be confirmed that the success or failure of an attempt to change power through the power enhancement of a weaker country in an asymmetric alliance system depends on the interests of the powerful countries. Therefore, in order to resolve the imbalance in alliance relations through the increase of its own power, weaker countries must consider and persuade the interests of powerful countries.
THE SEVERITY OF VASCULAR INFLAMMATION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH CLINICAL AND FUNCTIONAL FEATURES IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE WITHOUT CONCOMITANT CARDIOVASCULAR PATHOLOGY

The Russian Federation is one of the countries with a high prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the last decade, the list of families of chemical regulators of vascular inflammation in COPD has been supplemented with information about growth factors, whose participation in the processes of regulation of vascular function seems significant. The study of the role of angiogenesis factors in patients with isolated COPD disease is insufficient at this stage and needs to be clarified. Objective. To study was to identify diagnostic and prognostic criteria for the severity of vascular inflammation and to assess its relationship with clinical and functional features in patients with COPD without concomitant cardiovascular pathology in comparison with the clinical phenotype of the disease. Material and methods. 96 patients with COPD were examined, the median age was 61 years. In addition to standard clinical, functional and laboratory research methods, the severity of vascular inflammation was assessed in all examined patients with the determination of quantitative indicators of human platelet growth AA factor and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) by quantitative solid-phase enzyme immunoassay Results. In all patients with isolated COPD, regardless of the risk of developing the underlying disease, an increase in the level of platelet growth AA factor and TNFα was noted. The level of platelet growth AA factor and TNFα in patients with COPD, regardless of the risk of exacerbation, was correlated with the functional state of the lungs, clinical phenotype and severity of clinical manifestations of the disease. The value of platelet growth AA factor above 317 ng/ml in patients with COPD may be an early marker of endothelial dysfunction and a predictor of the development of hemostatic disorders and concomitant cardiovascular pathology.

Introduction. Flavonoids are a family of biologically active substances, representatives of which are often found in the human diet, in particular quercetin, rutin, and morin. When ingested with food, these compounds exhibit their antioxidant properties within the biomolecular system, where α-tocopherol is an important component. Systems formed by antioxidants are characterized by a certain total antioxidant effect, which often differs from the simple sum of their antioxidant capacities to a greater extent in the case of synergy or to a lesser extent in the case of subadditive interaction. From this point of view, the nature of the studied flavonoid's interaction with the endogenous antioxidant α-tocopherol is interesting. The identified inter-action effects can serve as a basis for improved antioxidant formulations, as well as the subsequent study of the cooperation mechanisms in vivo. Aim. The study aims to determine the interaction effects of the α-tocopherol compositions with quercetin, rutin, and morin at their different ratios. Material and methods. Solutions of individual substances and flavonoid–α-tocopherol compositions in ratios from 1:1 to 1:20 were assessed. The antioxidant capacity was evaluated by the ABTS/PP method, implemented in the form of decolorization and kinetic approaches. Results. The values of the TEAC index of the studied flavonoids obtained by the decolorization and kinetic method are close and lie in the range of 0.85–3.73 (decolorization) and 0.94–3.22 (kinetic method). Antioxidant capacity increased in the next order: α-tocopherol, rutin, morin, and quercetin. In the first 10 minutes of incubation, flavonoids captured 50–80% of the total number of ABTS•+ radical cations, while α-tocopherol showed the maximum of its antioxidant capacity already in the 1st minute. The composition effects were additive and slightly subadditive for the studied compositions of ru-tin, morin, and quercetin with α-tocopherol demonstrating maximum values up to –13% in the composition of morin–α-tocopherol 1:10 and quercetin–α-tocopherol 1:20. No dependence of the component’s ratios on the composition effect was found. Conclusions. The studied compositions of bioflavonoids and α-tocopherol exhibit additive and minor subadditive effects.
