ANÁLISIS DEL CRECIMIENTO DE LAS ECONOMÍAS EMERGENTES Y DESARROLLADAS ANTES Y DESPUÉS DE LA PRIMERA CRISIS MUNDIAL
Authors: Caballero Tovio Antonio
Published: April 2024

En este documento se tiene como objetivo analizar el comportamiento que han tenido las economías emergentes y desarrolladas desde el año 1999 hasta el 2016 y parte del 2017 y su relación con la gran crisis mundial llevada a cabo entre el año 2008 y el 2009 y al final se hace un énfasis en el caso de Colombia, considerada como una economía Sui Generis en Latinoamérica, por las secuelas que ha generado la violencia en el campo, determinada por los grupos armados y el flagelo del narcotráfico. La metodología utilizada en este estudio consistió, en comparar un grupo de países representativos de las economías emergentes y desarrolladas, con el fin de analizar el crecimiento económico de éstas, antes y después de la primera crisis mundial del presente siglo, además de algunas variables socioeconómicas, tales como la balanza comercial, el desempleo y nivel de vida, entre otras. La importancia de esta investigación radica en que permite conocer la incidencia que ha tenido la primera crisis financiera mundial en estas economías, lo que corresponde a un tema de mucha importancia por las repercusiones en el nivel de vida de los habitantes, teniendo en cuenta que afecta las bases de las dimensiones sociales, políticas y del medio ambiente. Por otra parte, es muy sabido que el despegue de las economías emergentes se debe en gran parte a su acceso al mercado de capitales, lo que ha permitido su crecimiento, aunque por supuesto que lleva inmerso un inminente riesgo, debido a lo sensible que es este tipo de mercados ante los cambios o movimientos de las variables políticas de los países en el ámbito mundial. En este artículo se consideró el comportamiento del crecimiento económico y social de algunos países emergentes y desarrollados, como China, India, Singapur, Japón, Alemania, Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Rusia, Canadá, Brasil, Sudáfrica, Chile y Colombia.

Published: April 2024

This study investigates the portrayal of China in Kazakhstani media, focusing on changes in perceptions before and during the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Through comparative discourse analysis, the research reveals a shift in media narratives from primarily economic and political aspects to a growing emphasis on fostering friendly relations between Kazakhstan and China. The paper also explores how diplomatic relations between the two countries influence media reports about China. Although the findings are specific to Kazakhstan, the study contributes to understanding Central Asian views on China, especially in the context of the BRI and the region's changing geopolitical dynamics. The research suggests a trend toward more positive and neutral coverage of China in Kazakhstani news outlets.
Cultural diverseness as a shaper of global managers: Evidence from the automotive industry
Authors: Velinov Emil , Montenero Vincent , Ixchel Martínez Pantoja Yadira
Published: April 2024

Global managers have become a key element for MNCs to operate successfully because they support headquarters and subsidiary projects responding to global challenges and local demands to accomplish organizational goals. This requires a particular skill set at both levels. Much of the literature argues that global managers are global leaders who must consider their subordinates' cultural differences to lead, motivate, and make appropriate decisions. However, more research about the global manager's cultural diversity needs to be conducted.
By conducting fifteen semi-structured interviews with managers of different nationalities affiliated with the automotive industry, this research seeks to understand better what characterizes global managers. Our findings show that the manager's cultural diverseness includes international experience, type of experience, native language, spoken languages, working languages, and personal sphere, which are essential characteristics of global managers in addition to their managerial skills and demonstrate the importance of the background of the individuals in understanding the day-to-day functioning of managers. It also shows an ability to rise above the problems associated with national cultures, as if this were a prerequisite for functioning correctly in this role. Finally, these findings enable us to recommend how to help the emergence of effective global managers.

Published: April 2024

This study examines the relationship between employees' green environmental behavior and environmentally friendly organizational performance. Using the SEM-PLS analysis method, this study involved 307 respondents of tourism actors by testing survey data in the form of structural models involving personal and organizational factors related to employees' green environmental behavior. The findings show a positive and significant influence of employees' green environmental behavior on the performance of environmentally friendly organizations. In addition, factors such as environmental literacy, environmental empowerment, and environmental leadership also have a significant influence on employees' green environmental behavior. However, it was found that factors such as employee religiosity, green environment self-efficacy, and green environment training did not significantly influence them. The study provides new insights into factors influencing employees' green environmental behavior and provides a solid foundation for developing workplace strategies and policies that support green environmental behavior.

Published: April 2024

Entrepreneurship is a global phenomenon because it contributes to economic growth, maintenance of social stability, and reduced unemployment. However, the role of entrepreneurial orientation in Vietnamese universities remains blurred. This study aims to understand the role of university education in shaping the entrepreneurial intention of Vietnamese students through entrepreneurial orientation, perceived desirability, and perceived feasibility. The PLS-SEM technique with SmartPLS 4 software tested the research model and hypotheses. The data set was collected from May 2023 to June 2023 via Google Forms with 411 respondents. The results show that entrepreneurial education has the most decisive impact on perceived desirability, followed by perceived feasibility, and both of these factors have a substantial impact on entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial intention. Based on the results, the research has suggested practical implications that enhance entrepreneurial intention and promote the development of Vietnam's economy.
What are Scholars For?
Authors: Witt Joseph
Published: April 2024

Since the inception of the field, scholars of religion and nature have struggled to balance critical analysis and advocacy within their work. For some, the role of scholarship was to help promote the greening of religion and resolve the ecological crisis; while for others, such optimistic efforts bypassed critical analysis of the complex relationships between religions and environmental behaviors. Community-engaged approaches to scholarship and teaching offer useful avenues for negotiating this tension between advocacy and analysis. In this paper, I outline developments from the religion and nature field along with scholarship on community engaged research and teaching to suggest how educators and researchers can harness the privileged place of the contemporary university to better facilitate collaboration between stakeholders to both advance learning and address the specific needs of communities.
What are Universities For?
Authors: Sorgen Jeremy
Published: April 2024

‘Public scholarship’ uses academic research to help social groups respond to civic problems. Drawing on two distinct genealogies of public scholarship, I elaborate on an internal distinction between the ‘public intellectual’ and ‘engaged scholar’. Then, mapping this distinction onto my own research trajectory from theory to practice to engagement, I argue that scholarly focus on community practices can be as removed from public problem-solving as academic theory, whereas engaged scholarship is more accountable to the demands of justice. As ‘public scholarship’ and its various cognates increasingly become corporate-speak in higher education, the scholars and communities who are the progenitors of engaged scholarship should lead the development of the ‘engaged university’.

Published: April 2024

In the present study, we searched Halobacteriovorax strain preying upon Salmonella from the seawater of the Adriatic Sea. The Halobacteriovorax strain, named M7, was identified using 16S rRNA analysis. The M7 strain predation efficiency was tested against different Salmonella and non-Salmonella strains, all isolated from food matrices obtained from the Adriatic Sea. Finally, the M7 strain was exposed to Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Napoli in challenge tests to evaluate the killing of this specific prey over time. Double -layer agar plating technique was used to enumerate Halobacteriovorax and to evaluate its host specificity and predation efficiency. In the 103 predator/103 prey challenge test, M7 caused a decrease of Salmonella by about 2 log at 24 h compared to the control. In the 107 predator/104 prey challenge test, M7 caused a decrease of Salmonella by about 5 log at 24 h compared to the control, and good levels of decrease were obtained even at shorter times. Halobacteriovorax strains active against Salmonella are rarely present in the Adriatic Sea, Italy seawater. However, the isolate M7 showed high predatory efficiency towards a wide range of Salmonella strains. The presence of Salmonella in bivalves affects food safety since current decontamination processes are not always effective. M7 may represent a potential candidate for reducing and controlling Salmonella contamination in bivalves from harvesting to trade.

Aimed to improve the tensile properties, color, and sensory quality of bran-fortified stewing noodles using bran extrusion and improvers. A single-factor experiment and Box–Behnken design response surface experiment were designed, and the multi-index comprehensive weighted scoring method was applied. The single-factor experiment indicated high-quality bran-fortified stewing noodles when wheat gluten, glucose oxidase, and guar gum contents were 10%, 40 mg/kg, and 0.3%, respectively. The response surface experiment showed that the comprehensive weighted score in the response surface optimal group was maximum (86.33 points) when wheat gluten, glucose oxidase, and guar gum contents were 5%, 40 mg/kg, and 0.2%, respectively. The verified model experiment showed that the average comprehensive weighted score was 89.31±0.49 points, indicating that the model was feasible to improve the quality of bran-fortified stewing noodles. The optimal formula involved wheat gluten, glucose oxidase, and guar gum contents of 6.67%, 28 mg/kg, and 0.22%, respectively. Bran extrusion and improvers can improve the quality of bran-fortified stewing noodles. The findings may serve as a reference for the quality improvement and industrial production of fiber-rich stewing noodles.
Future Outlook of Dryland Crop Production Systems in the Semi-Arid High Plains Amid Climate Change
Authors: Todd Olivia E. , Creech Cody F. , Kumar Vipan , Mahood Adam , Peirce Erika
Published: April 2024

Dryland agriculture or dry farming is a type of crop production that relies on stored soil moisture and occasional rainfall without providing supplemental irrigation. Dryland agriculture is a predominant crop production system in the semi-arid High Plains of the United States where
water resources are scarce, drought is frequent, and grain yields are low. Producers are struggling to balance their pest management needs with soil moisture conservation practices such as no or reduced tillage, as well as loss of efficacy for some herbicide chemistries. The predicted increase
in dryland farming acreage due to increasing underground water resource limitations and climate change, it is prudent to understand major pest issues in dryland agriculture to develop research-lead solutions.
Dental Sedation with Propofol-based Target Controlled Infusions: Changing Sedation Patterns and Our Current Approach after 2800 Office-based Procedures
Authors: DG Wells , S Verco , A Bridgeman , R Barrowman , J Savage , B Woods , B Lim
Published: April 2024

We describe the changing patterns of our office-based dental sedation technique over the past 5 years, based on the cumulative experience gained from treating 2800 patients. We also report the changing rate over time of minor, clinically insignificant adverse events based on a recent 652-patient audit of our office-based intravenous sedation (IVS). Our current preference, with most patients, is to administer a combination of propofol via a Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) in combination with TCI remifentanil. The rationale and reasons for this and the progressively changing doses of intravenous (IV) agents are discussed. Our office-based TCI IVS technique affords patient safety, high satisfaction rates and much faster discharge times in comparison with discharge times from mainstream hospitals. The surgeons are provided with greater scheduling flexibility plus the ability to operate in their own office with familiar staff.
The Role of Zinc and Copper in Anemia and Erythropoietin Responsiveness in Patients on Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
Authors: S Akkan Eren , N Yazihan , G Kumru , S Sengul , S Kutlay
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Imbalance in copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) homeostasis is a frequent finding in patients undergoing dialysis. These patients have higher serum Cu and lower serum Zn levels compared to controls. This study is designed to investigate the relationship between blood Cu and Zn levels and Cu/Zn ratio and, ESA (erythropoietin stimulating agent) dosage, erythropoietin responsiveness and anemia in dialysis patients. Methods: Clinical and demographic data for 151 participants (men=79) with a median dialysis vintage of 69.7 months [101 on Hemodialysis (HD), 50 on Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)] and mean age of 56.25±15.6 years was collected in November 2022. Zn and Cu levels were measured with atomic absorption. Erythropoietin responsiveness was evaluated by the erythropoietin resistance index (ERI) and ESA dosing. Results: In HD patients, mean serum Zn and Cu levels were 61.33 ± 15.77 μg/dL and 95.1 ± 21.1 µg/dL, respectively, with a Cu/Zn ratio of 1.58 ± 0.69. In PD patients, mean serum Zn and Cu levels were 54.8 ± 10.3 µg/dL and 97 ± 20.2 µg/dL, respectively, with a Cu/Zn ratio of 1.72 ± 0.55. In Spearman analyses serum Cu was negatively correlated with hemoglobin (p=0.018), serum iron (p=0.03), transferrin saturation (p=0.019), and iron supplementation (p <0.01) in the HD patient group. Serum Cu was found to be positively correlated with erythropoietin (EPO) dosage (p=0.03), ERI (p=0.04), high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) (p=0.01), and Kt/V (p=0.033). Cu/Zn ratio was positively correlated with EPO dosage (p=0.043), ERI (p=0.051) and hsCRP (p=0.015). Conversely, it was negatively correlated with iron supplementation (p=0.014) and serum albumin levels (p=0.049). Serum Zn levels was solely correlated with albumin level (p=0.039). In PD, patient’s serum Cu level was correlated positively with hsCRP (p=0.036); serum Zn levels correlated positively (p=0.01), and Cu/Zn ratio was correlated negatively with albumin (p=0.042). Conclusion: This study has shown a possible association between both serum Cu and Cu/Zn ratio, ESA dosage and hsCRP in HD patients.

Authors: A Karges , MS Inayat , VS Gallicchio
Published: April 2024

Nicotine, primarily found in tobacco, exerts a profound impact on stem cells, disrupting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration when exposed at high doses or used chronically. Stem cells hold significant promise in the field of regenerative medicine and disease management, making it crucial to understand how nicotine affects their therapeutic potential. In tandem, a growing epidemic of nicotine addiction among adolescents poses a public health threat, as it not only jeopardizes their well-being but also undermines the efficacy of stem cell-based treatments. This paper reviews the effects of nicotine on various types of stem cells and discusses the alarming rise in adolescent nicotine use, emphasizing the importance of addressing this issue to preserve the future of stem cell therapies.
Del “niño problema” al adolescente farmacodependiente: apuntes autoetnográficos de una trayectoria educativa socialmente estructurada desde el diagnóstico de TDAH
Authors: Bellatin-Torres Jorge H.
Published: April 2024

En el presente artículo, el autor analiza su trayectoria biográfica como sujeto diagnosticado con trastorno de déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) y usuario de psicofármacos prescritos para tratar la sintomatología de su diagnóstico. Para ello, toma en cuenta el periodo temporal que va desde su inserción inicial en la vida escolar –3 años– hasta su ingreso a la vida universitaria –18 años–. La autoetnografía, método narrativo diseñado a partir de la crítica a la pretensión positivista referente a la formación del conocimiento, funge como recurso metodológico directriz de la presente propuesta. Como principales resultados, el autor muestra cómo las significaciones en torno a sus conductas comienzan a variar según el contexto espaciotemporal en el que se situó dentro de la escuela y la familia. La modificación del entendimiento social de tales conductas tuvo como resultado final la patologización de las mismas en el contexto de la educación secundaria por medio de la adjudicación médica de la etiqueta diagnóstica del TDAH. De la misma forma, se contempla cómo el consumo de psicofármacos empieza configurándose como una imposición disciplinaria externa al sujeto para, finalmente, devenir como un deseo aparentemente surgido libremente. La conformación de la subjetividad del individuo, en la medida en que su trayectoria biográfica lo demuestra, termina progresivamente por estar más condicionada por el consumo de psicofármacos que por el peso simbólico de la etiqueta diagnóstica. Se concluye la necesidad de efectuar acercamientos similares que tomen en cuenta profundizar en los resultados expuestos.

Published: April 2024

El presente documento tiene como finalidad mostrar algunos resultados de un proceso investigativo implementado en el colegio José Félix Restrepo en la ciudad de Bogotá, dentro de un aula inclusiva, teniendo como intención estimar la influencia de una propuesta pedagógica sobre las actitudes de los estudiantes sin discapacidad hacia los estudiantes en situación de discapacidad visual, por medio de juegos predeportivos del atletismo paralímpico. La metodología de la investigación se encuentra basada desde un paradigma sociocrítico con un diseño de investigación-acción, pues estos mismos se centran principalmente en el proceso de autorreflexión que pueden tener los participantes para contribuir a la mejora de la sociedad en la que se encuentran inmersos (Alvarado y García, 2008). Paralelamente, la metodología utilizada durante la propuesta pedagógica deportiva sigue los lineamientos de los estilos de enseñanza inclusivo y reciproco mencionados por Muska Mosston y Sara Ashworth (1986), al igual que por las dinámicas inclusivas de la integración inversa o simulación de la discapacidad. Las categorías de análisis presentan consideraciones respecto a actitudes, acciones y manifestaciones expresadas por los estudiantes a lo largo de las intervenciones realizadas. Los principales resultados muestran un aumento de interés por parte de los estudiantes para involucrarse durante la clase de educación física con sus compañeros que poseen algún tipo de discapacidad. Para concluir, es relevante mencionar la importancia de crear otros espacios deportivos con carácter inclusivo dentro de la escuela, con el fin de favorecer la interacción y las actitudes hacia las personas en situación de discapacidad visual.

El artículo presenta los resultados de la investigación “Expedición Lúdica” realizada por el grupo de investigación gocemos de la Universidad de Antioquia entre los años 2017 y 2019, que tuvo como objetivo realizar un inventario de las prácticas lúdicas populares y tradicionales del departamento de Antioquiaest. Estas prácticas son consideradas como parte fundamental de la historia y la identidad de los colectivos humanos, y van más allá de su utilidad en el mundo del consumo. El ejercicio se llevó a cabo a través de la etnografía, lo que implicó la presencia del equipo investigador en el territorio para aproximarse a las dinámicas relacionadas con el objeto de estudio, utilizando técnicas de observación participante y entrevistas.Se destaca del ejercicio que las prácticas populares y lúdicas forman parte importante del patrimonio cultural inmaterial de los pueblos, a través de las cuales se afianza la identidad y se refuerza el sentido colectivo de la vida de acuerdo con las tradiciones y expectativas de las comunidades, en coherencia con las especificidades de los territorios. Sin embargo, tanto las prácticas como los espacios para la recreación y el esparcimiento no están exentos de las intenciones unificadoras de los comportamientos desde posiciones moralizadoras y de disciplinamiento.
Институциональный дизайн рабочих групп расследования уголовного дела: на примере районных судов малых городов и сельской местности
Authors: Ходжаева Екатерина Анисовна
Published: April 2024

Статья дополняет исследования организационных аспектов расследования уголовных дел в России через характеристику институционального и неформального взаимодействия представителей различных ведомств и структур (судей, прокуроров, следователей, адвокатов) на материалах из малых городов и сельской местности. Предлагается аналитическое разделение слабых и сильных рабочих групп судебного расследования уголовного дела на основе критериев сплоченности и лидерства, которое трансформируется в ресурс управления этой группой. Слабость таких групп определяется низкой кооперативностью их участников, где каждый сосредоточен на собственных задачах. Однако чаще всего в малых городах мы встретили сплоченные группы. В незначительной части из них лидерство принадлежит судьям, которые, отвечая за финальный исход дела, оказываются ресурсно способными влиять на представителей следствия, прокуратуры и адвокатов. Более распространенный случай сильных рабочих групп – это распределенное лидерство между судьями и прокурорами, где последние берут на себя роль медиатора общих интересов с органами следствия. Адвокаты и следователи без исключений оказываются в сильных рабочих группах в подчиненной позиции. Факторами усиления рабочих групп являются, по нашим полевым данным, общий бэкграунд всех участников (например, общий опыт работы в прокуратуре), единая политика вышестоящих организаций и стабильность состава участников, отсутствие кадровой текучки и ротации.

Published: April 2024

Образование занимает особое место во внешнеполитической практике России среди инструментов гуманитарного влияния, направленных на формирование на международной арене привлекательного образа государства. Основная цель представленной статьи – раскрыть ресурсные аспекты экспорта российских образовательных услуг, в частности, рассмотреть внешний потенциал системы образования Республики Бурятия, граничащей с Монголией. Исследование направлено на выявление основных характеристик спроса старшеклассников Монголии на образовательные услуги российских вузов. Актуальность этой темы определяется устойчивостью российско-монгольских отношений в течение длительного времени, которые характеризовались тесными экономическими, военно-политическими, культурными и иными связями. После отхода от  социалистической модели в 1990-е гг. на современном этапе монгольское направление становится все более актуальным для российской внешней политики. Вместе с тем привлекательность российского образования существенно снизилась и «возвращение» России в Монголию сталкивается с конкуренцией со стороны других образовательных систем. Для выравнивания ситуации требуются проведение информационной работы на всех уровнях, увеличение образовательных квот, повышение стипендии, улучшение качества языковой подготовки, рекламирование русского языка не только в столице, но и в отдаленных местностях и т. д. Несмотря на сложившуюся непростую ситуацию по востребованности российского образования в Монголии, многолетние исследования фонда «Сант Марал» показывают, что Россия лидирует в общественном мнении монгольского общества как лучший партнер. Социологическое исследование, проведенное в Монголии в мае – июне 2023 г., было посвящено проблеме востребованности российского образования среди выпускников средних школ. Задачи исследования – рассмотрение наиболее характерных особенностей образовательных стратегий монгольских старшеклассников, выявление их отношения к российской системе профессионального образования. Особое внимание в исследовании уделяется анализу данных официальной статистики в соотнесении с эмпирическими данными авторов. Согласно исследованию, налицо низкая информированность школьников Монголии о программах Россотрудничества в области экспорта российского образования, о вузах приграничных регионов. Исследованием подтверждается низкий статус русского языка в Монголии, но в то же время населению очень близки российская культура и менталитет. Возникает необходимость создания межвузовских кампусов на приграничных территориях для экспорта российского образования. Полученные результаты позволяют определить тенденции дальнейшего изменения отношения подрастающего поколения монголов к российской системе образования, что может послужить основой для определения сценариев прогнозного развития социально-гуманитарных связей между Россией и Монголией в условиях глобальных изменений.
Рабочая нагрузка учителя в постпандемический период
Authors: Колесник Наталья Владимировна , Бояркина Сания Исааковна
Published: April 2024

В статье представлены результаты анализа рабочей нагрузки школьного педагога в  постпандемический период. В ходе исследования авторы выявили самооценку региональных педагогов их рабочей нагрузки и ее структуры, объема и видов обязательной и  избыточной работы. Были определены причины распространения сложившегося режима работы в профессиональной среде педагогов, который влечет не только возможную неудовлетворенность трудом, но и профессиональный стресс. Особое внимание уделено основным дискуссионным точкам по проблеме рабочей нагрузки педагога и тому, как она влияет на его профессиональное самочувствие. Эмпирическим основанием послужили данные анкетного опроса и контент-анализа по исследуемой проблеме. В опросе приняло участие 3588 педагогов из 100 государственных и муниципальных школ в 15 российских регионах; проанализирована лингвистическая база из 3827 элементов. В ходе исследования выявлено, что у опрошенных педагогов устойчиво сохраняется режим работы «всегда на связи», для которого характерны стирание четких границ между учебной и рабочей нагрузкой, обязательными и не обязательными видами работы. Это означает, что как в  прошлом, так и сейчас сельские и городские, молодые и опытные учителя испытывают дискомфорт в части рабочей нагрузки и большого объема работ. Зачастую именно избыточное участие в (не)цифровых коммуникациях приводит к росту рабочей нагрузки, физическому и психологическому переутомлению учителей.

Authors: Мухаметов Руслан Салихович
Published: April 2024

Статья посвящена изучению доверия к СМИ в современной России. Цель настоящей работы состоит в определении детерминант, которые воздействуют на доверие к телевидению. Была поставлена задача получить ответ на исследовательский вопрос: какие факторы влияют на уровень доверия к телевидению в стране. В статье отмечается, что исследование медиадоверия позволяет понять, на что россияне ориентируются при выборе источников информации, а также какие методы и приемы могут быть использованы для повышения доверия к средствам массовой информации. Источником информации стали данные социологического опроса седьмой волны «Всемирного исследования ценностей». Методом анализа количественных данных была выбрана порядковая логистическая регрессия, которая выполнена в программе Gretl. Показано, что социальное доверие положительным образом влияет на доверие граждан к ТВ; обнаружено, что существует положительный вектор связи между просмотром телевизионных новостей и доверием к телевидению; также подчеркивается, что граждане, читающие новости в Интернете, меньше доверяют телевидению. Помимо этого, результаты статистического анализа продемонстрировали, что доверие к ТВ у женщин выше, чем у мужчин. В статье утверждается, что на уровень доверия к телевидению влияют индивидуальные характеристики аудитории.
The Development Concept in BRICS: An Analysis of Projects Financed by the NDB
Authors: Daldegan William , Vitória de Borba
Published: April 2024

The article examines the concept of development within the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) framework and how the New Development Bank (NDB) is used to achieve it.It analyzes BRICS summit documents from 2014 to 2022 and financing projects considered by the NDB from 2016 to 2022. The arguments made are as follows: development has been a top priority within BRICS; development is fundamental for economic growth and strengthening infrastructure; development involves a notion of progress closely tied to sustainability and the “green” concept; and the NDB, despite its commitment to good environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, does not ensure them throughout the execution of projects. In the initial years, cooperation among BRICS countries was emphasized as the means to achieve development. The NDB complements this by filling gaps in international financing. Notably, there is a significant number of projects in the transport infrastructure sector, with leadership from India and China, while the social infrastructure sector is marginalized. There is rapid project appraisal dynamic that does not necessarily translate into project implementation and completion. At the same time, the NDB has attracted interest from new members. As long as the NDB can efficiently attract and lend resources to its members and respond swiftly and responsibly to new challenges in an everchanging international context, it will be seen as a significant multilateral development bank that promotes South-South cooperation. As a result of BRICS coordination, the success of the NDB contributes to development financing and positively impacts the relevance and resilience of the grouping in global politics.
Exploring changes in EFL preservice teachers’ motivation to enter the teaching profession in the context of policy change
Authors: Basikin Basikin
Published: April 2024

Motivation to become teachers is believed to be a predictor of quality teachers’ professionalism. Particularly in language teaching, teachers with good motivation will support the teaching of English which is considered difficult by many students. However, changes in policy about Education qualification requirement might affect preservice English teachers’ motivation to enter the teaching profession. This study seeks for answers on how this change affects preservice teachers’ motivation to enter teaching profession. Data were in the forms of responses to questions related to participants’ initial motivation and the motivation at their 8th semester. They were collected using an online open-ended survey with links distributed via emails or WhatsApp to 400 English Language Education students. Two hundreds and ninety-nine students (response rate of 74.75%) filled in the survey. The data were analyzed qualitatively by coding and labeling the responses following the types of regulations proposed by the Self-determination Theory (SDT) of motivation. Findings suggest that 48.2% participants reported their initial motivation as  Extrinsic, 41.8% Fallback Career, 1.7% Amotivation, 7.4% Intrinsic, and 1% Altruistic. Significant changes from Fallback Career to more autonomous extrinsic types of regulation were identified, where 75.9% participants reported Extrinsic Motivation and 6.0% Fallback Career  at their 8th semester. Findings about high initial fallback careers imply the needs for careful selection of language teacher education programs. The fact that fallback careers change implies the hope for future teachers’ better practices, which in turns improve the English teaching in the classrooms.
Dialogic discussions for enhancing children’s argumentation skills in Indonesian reading sessions
Authors: Purwaningrum Diana
Published: April 2024

Dialogic discussions offer advantages in improving language and literacy skills. However, research in the Indonesian context on this topic is limited. Furthermore, existing studies also tend to overlook the challenges associated with children’s interactions. To bridge this research gap, this study investigated the role of dialogic discussions in advancing children’s argumentation abilities during Indonesian reading sessions. This study utilized a case study approach, involving sixteen fourth-grade children from a public elementary school. Data were collected through observations, field notes, and audio recordings. The children participated in small group discussions during six reading sessions. These sessions involved exploring both Indonesian fiction and non-fiction texts, centered on significant moral or social questions and dilemmas. The findings revealed an increased use of various argumentation strategies by the children, including presenting reasons, posing challenges, and responding to challenges. Using personally engaging texts proved beneficial for sustaining discussions, as it encouraged children to share their lived experiences and opinions. However, the findings also indicated that children who did not participate seemed distracted during individual tasks. The study provides valuable insights into the dynamics and complexities of small group discussions during Indonesian reading sessions.
Swearing in comment section: Investigating netizens’ involvement in virtual political arena
Authors: Setiawan Teguh , Suhardi Suhardi , Lestyarini Beniati
Published: April 2024

Swearing is a verbal behavior that uses profanity and taboo words to express emotions and anger and exists in every language and culture. Despite its notorious use as language expressions, swearing actually function to indicate the user’s degree of involvement in certain communicative event. This study observed the use of language in digitally-mediated communication setting. The aim of the present study is to investigate netizen’s involvement in a political discourse, as reflected in the use of their language in the comment sections of online political news. Using a combination of transitivity analysis (Eggins, 2004) and the use of swearing (Eggins and Slade, 1997), the study investigated functions of swearing and the role of swear-words users in political commenting discourse. The study identified the most frequently used swear-words are taboo words, which are targeted to the reported person and opposing parties to the incumbent government. This further indicates how the netizens are split into two groups namely supporters and opponents of certain political figures or parties.

Linguistic Landscape (LL) research has explored signage in various public places in the world, including Indonesia. However, since there has been no comprehensive review of LL studies in Indonesia, the current article seeks to identify trends in LL research in Indonesia. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method was applied to analyze thirty-one LL articles coming out from the open knowledge maps application. The findings suggest that there is a steady increase in the number of LL studies in Indonesia apparent starting from the year of 2017 based on the obtained data from eleven provinces. More bottom-up signs were found mostly using quantitative approaches. The findings also reveal that the Indonesian language dominates signs in the LL studies followed by English. Interestingly, although Indonesia has the biggest number of Muslim citizens in the world, Arabic is used more often than English only in two locations of LL studies, namely the tomb of Sunan Ampel and the City of Mataram. Issues often discussed in the LL studies are multilingualism, micro-analysis of linguistics, and broader issues, namely powerandsolidarity, identity, and ideology. Future researchers may focus more on qualitative analysis of LL studies, and relates LL studies with promising topics on geo-linguistics, management of halal food, ecology and culture, inequality and economic mobility, health issues, minority language, media in ELT, and online/virtual LL as well as language contestation related to the abovementioned issues.

The implementation of contextual teaching and learning approach has been widely used in English writing instruction in Indonesia. However, there is still a lack of study exploring the efficacy of applying Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach to teaching analytical exposition writing. Therefore, the study aims to look into the effects of CTL approach on the achievement of eleventh grade students’ analytical exposition writing skill and students’ perceptions on the advantages and challenges toward learning with the approach. The participants were 35 eleventh grade students with mixed-English ability. The method of study was mixed method research which employed quantitative and qualitative instruments. The quantitative instruments were analytical exposition writing pre-test and post-test, and three questionnaires. In contrast, the qualitative instrument was semi-structured interview. The findings of this study indicate that the contextual teaching and learning approach significantly improves students’ analytical exposition writing skill at the 0.05 level. In addition, students also revealed to have positive perceptions toward the CTL approach as it could provide them to write analytical exposition text with the topic that was relevant to their real-life experience, thus making them to have strong understanding of the topic and good content knowledge. To sum up, this study can provide valuable insights for writing teachers to tailor their instruction and writing lesson in analytical exposition text to align with students’ real-life experiences. As a result, students’ comprehension of the subject matter and its relevance can be greatly improved. Thus, it is advisable that contextual teaching and learning be encouraged to be applied in the classroom to assist students’ improvement in writing analytical exposition texts.

Introduction: Patients following the acute stage of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 were shown to present with persisting symptoms including fatigue, dyspnea, joint pain, and chest pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a 6-week home physiotherapy program on the psychological and physical symptoms, as well as the physical abilities to perform activities of daily living in post-COVID-19 patients.
Methods: The subjects were 39 adult patients who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and had been hospitalized at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo. Patients initially underwent a physiotherapy assessment 2-3 weeks after discharge from the hospital, including sociodemographic data, psychological and physical symptoms, and functional performance in daily activities using the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS). Based on their functional capacity, the patients received two types of brochures for a home physiotherapy program that was carried out over the next 6 weeks. Upon the completion of the physiotherapy program, 23 patients reported for the second physiotherapy assessment. The Mann–Whitney Wilcoxon test was used for comparison of the variables obtained during the first and second assessments.
Results: Pre–post analysis showed that the symptoms including excessive fatigue, difficulty breathing, and insomnia were significantly less present following the home physiotherapy program (p = 0.005; p = 0.008; p = 0.034). On the PSFS scale, the mean score increased from 5.2 (2.1) to 7.8 (0.5) for stair climbing, from 5.5 (1.8) to 8.8 (1.6) for walking longer distances, and from 3.7 (3.2) to 4.0 (5.6) for running.
Conclusion: Although limited by the absence of a control group, the findings from this study indicate that home physiotherapy intervention can be feasible and effective in enhancing psychological and physical symptoms, as well as activities of daily living in post-COVID-19 patients following hospitalization.
Methodology for Ensuring the Viability for a Complex Object Based on Managing its Structural Dynamics
Authors: Kimyaev I. T. , Sokolov B. V.
Published: April 2024

The article examines a conceptual model that forms the basis of the authors’ proposed approach to solving the problem of creating integrated information-management systems (IMS) for making managerial decisions, embedded within the structure of vertically integrated Business Entity (BE) to maintain their viability. Viability is understood as the ability of an BE to maintain key technological and business indicators within safe ranges throughout its life cycle (LC), while being subject to the influence of destructive internal and external factors. The problem of synthesizing a generalized structure of an IMS is proposed to solve using a system-cybernetic approach, which considers this problem as the managing its structural dynamics. Managing structural dynamics enables maintaining a regulated level of viability of the vertically integrated BE at all the key stages of its life cycle. The proposed structure of model-algorithmic support (MAS) implements the methods for complexity management. This methodology proposes the approach that justifies the evolutionary redistribution of roles between managerial teams of the vertically integrated BE and functionally equivalent information-management systems. The results of implementing the structure of an IMS, as an example are provided, which arises through the transformation of its original multi-structural state into a qualitatively different state. Multi-structural states are characterized by the use of various control methods, such as "Automatic Multi-Factor", "Automatic Optimal" "Manual on site" etc. In the synthesis of the IMS structure, the methods for system modeling technologies based on simulation-statistical and fuzzy-possibilistic approaches were used.
On the Formation and Accuracy of the Implementation of the Program Modes of Movement of Mobile Robots with Walking Propulsion Devices
Authors: Briskin E. S. , Smirnaya L. D.
Published: April 2024

Various kinematic schemes of walking propulsion devices of mobile robots are considered. Among them there are cyclical mechanisms with a different number of links, zoomorphic, insectomorphic, orthogonal and others. Propulsion devices may differ from each other in the number of drives. Examples of walking machines and laboratory samples with such propulsion devices are given. The importance and significance of the tasks of ensuring the accuracy of positioning the foot of the propulsion device as the working body of the walking mechanism, due to the need to place it on the supporting surface at a given point when moving the propulsion device, are substantiated. It is also necessary to overcome obstacles identified by the information-measuring system and having certain dimensions and located in certain places on the support surface. Such a movement should be accompanied by a minimum of the height of the foot lift, which ensures a minimum of energy consumption. Additionally, the necessity of ensuring the required speed of the foot of the propulsion devices walking mechanism in the phase of its interaction with the support surface is justified, which is explained by maintaining the same speeds of the support feet in the relative heading movement in the phase of the implementation of the traction force. Even with a slight difference in the speeds of the support stops, the traction force is developed only by the propulsion device, whose foot moves at maximum speed. The remaining propulsion devices operate in braking mode. Compensation is possible only due to the rigidity of the static characteristics of the engine and the viscous-elastic-plastic properties of the soil. In this case, an increased load is imposed on the drive motors and therefore energy efficiency is reduced. The problem of assessing the accuracy of positioning is solved by known methods by introducing the transfer functions of the stepping mechanism. The transfer functions link the movement of the output element of the motor of the corresponding drive and the working body of the walking mechanism — the foot. To solve the problem of estimating the accuracy of the walking mechanism by the speed of the foot, new transfer functions are introduced, which are components of the new matrix. Their characteristic feature is the dependence on the speeds of the output elements of the executive motors. The equation of motion providing optimality in positioning accuracy and speed is obtained.
