Authors: Юлина Г.Н. , Черкасов Я.С.
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена изучению мотивационных видеоматериалов и их психологического воздействия на человека. Мотивационный дискурс рассматривается как сложное структурно-семантическое образование, аксиологическая система. Язык социален по своей сути, поэтому содержательная и смысловая стороны лингвистических единиц связаны с социокультурными факторами, способами видения и осмысления объектов. Актуальность исследования определяется необходимостью изучения феномена мотивационных видеоматериалов, оказывающих значительное влияние на мыследеятельность и поведение человека в современном мире. С помощью данного типа видеоматериалов можно нацелить зрителей на эффективную работу и учебу. Проблематика осмысления мотивационных видеоматериалов является междисциплинарной, находится в центре внимания гуманитарных наук, прежде всего психологии. Формирование данного феномена происходит в системе герменевтического круга, динамичного пространства диалога «человек — видео» / «человек — мир» в процессе кристаллизации смысла и его воздействия на реципиента одновременно. В работе выявлены основные характеристики мотивационного дискурса. Приведенные примеры иллюстрируют освещаемые положения.

The article is devoted to the study of motivational video and its psychological impact on a person. Motivational discourse is considered as a complex structural and semantic formation, an axiological system. Language is a social phenomenon in its essence, therefore the content and semantic sides of linguistic units are associated with socio-cultural factors, ways of comprehending objects. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to study the phenomenon of motivational video that have a significant impact on human activity and behavior in the modern world. With the help of this type of video, it is possible to motivate the audience for effective work and study. The problem of understanding motivational videos is interdisciplinary, and is in the focus of the humanities, primarily psychology. The formation of this phenomenon takes place in the system of the hermeneutic circle, the dynamic space of the «man — video» / «man — world» dialogue in the process of crystallization of meaning and its impact on the recipient at the same time. The article identifies the main characteristics of motivational discourse. The given examples illustrate the statements under consideration.

Published: December 2024

The current study estimates the time period of frequency (four modes) of parallelogram shaped plate having circular density and thickness in one and two dimensions, in respect, along with exponential profile in Young's modulus for two different edge conditions. The two different edge conditions of the plate are CCSS and CSSS. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is implemented to solve the frequency equation for the system mentioned above. The major conclusion made from the study is that we can optimise the time period for the system by choosing the circular profile in density and thickness for such plates. To validate our findings, we compare our results with previously published data and show in tabular form.
Navigating Gender Dynamics in Sport and Physical Activity Employment
Authors: González-Rivera María-Dolores , Guinto Maria Luisa , Rodríguez-Hernández María Luisa
Published: December 2024

Gender disparity in employment remains a pervasive global issue, and the sport and physical activity (SPA) sector is no exception. Despite a notable increase in women’s sport participation in recent years, this growth has not yet fully translated into significant strides toward gender parity in employment, as men continue to hold most SPA-related occupations.  This study investigated the persistent gender inequalities in the SPA industry, focusing on the Madrid region in Spain.  A survey was conducted with 400 SPA professionals—102 women and 298 men—to examine occupational representation, employment pathways, employment determinants, contractual arrangements, salary differentials, and organisational affiliations. The findings confirm the underrepresentation of women across all domains of SPA employment, especially in sport coaching for competition.  The results showed that recruitment and hiring of women rely primarily on curriculum vitae reviews or public examinations, unlike their male counterparts who lean on their social networks or personal referrals to secure employment in the SPA sector.  Findings also revealed that men hold a substantial proportion of formal and informal contracts, including non-contracted jobs, affirming their dominance in both ends of the SPA contractual employment spectrum. Moreover, the study indicated that women often face unfavourable work conditions, including extended working hours and salary differentials. Informed by institutional theory and intersectionality, the discussion highlights the entrenched structures, norms, and practices that reinforce the marginalisation of women based on overlapping identities, sustaining employment practices and outcomes over time. Initiatives are proposed to strengthen equitability and transparency in hiring practices, increase job security, and improve work conditions, enabling organisations and institutions in Madrid to mobilise resources and programmes that foster gender parity in the SPA sector. By advocating gender-informed initiatives that challenge embedded norms and biases, recommendations may be adapted to diverse contexts and cultures where similar gender disparities exist in SPA industries worldwide.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors influencing consumer behavior with a comparison between public and private university students in Bangladesh. Using a structured questionnaire, a survey was conducted of 200 students from two different universities. With the use of SPSS-26, the chi-square test was used to make a comparison between public and private universities. Results depict that the preference for brands and the awareness about consuming products were significant factors that influenced the consumer behavior of university students. It was evident that students of the public university were more aware of purchasing local quality products, and private university students were more interested in foreign brands. Most importantly, media advertisement was dominant and secondly, family friends were shaping perceptions of consumer interest that contributed to forming attitudes toward consumer culture. Alongside, feelings of superiority based on consumption level and the fascination with shopping malls shaped attitudes toward purchasing products in line with consumer behaviour. Balanced consumer behaviour was suggested to the educated youths for cultural development in Bangladesh.

P-O fit, defined as the alignment between an individual’s values, goals, and beliefs with those of the organization, significantly influences workplace behavior and adaptability. Drawing on a sample of employees from diverse industries undergoing structural or cultural transformations, this research employs a mixed-methods approach. Findings reveal that employees with strong P-O fit demonstrate higher adaptability, engagement, and resilience, while those with weak P-O fit are more prone to resistance, stress, and turnover intentions. These findings offer practical implications for change management strategies and organizational alignment initiatives.
Workplace Ostracism and Project Success: Exploring mediating Role of Knowledge Hiding and the Moderating Role of Neuroticism
Authors: Nasir Ali  , Dr. Ashiq Ali
Published: December 2024

Knowledge is a vital asset for any organization, particularly knowledge-intensive firms. Research and Development (R&D) departments play a pivotal role in organizational success, relying on innovative practices and effective knowledge transfer. This study examines the impact of workplace ostracism on knowledge-hiding behavior among employees in Pakistan's Information Technology (IT) sector, emphasizing its implications for project success. Furthermore, it explores the moderating role of neuroticism in the relationship between workplace ostracism and knowledge hiding. Drawing on the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this quantitative study analyzed data from 300 technical staff, middle managers and senior managers in Pakistan’s IT sector. The results reveal that workplace ostracism significantly fosters knowledge-hiding behaviors, which undermine project success. Neuroticism was found to exacerbate this dynamic, as neurotic individuals are more prone to ostracism, leading to heightened knowledge-hiding tendencies and project failures. This study offers novel insights into how workplace ostracism drives knowledge-hiding behavior, ultimately impacting project outcomes in Pakistan’s IT sector. The investigation of neuroticism as a moderating factor enriches the understanding of these dynamics, shedding light on an overlooked area in existing literature.

Consumer Attitudes towards Femvertising in Russia and Türkiye: A Netnographic Study
Authors: Çevik Ergin Tuba , Aleksandrova Iana
Published: December 2024

This research paper examines consumer attitudes towards femvertising within the context of Nike's campaigns in Russia and Turkey. Through a netnographic analysis of YouTube comments, the research reveals how gender, cultural and political context influence responses to women’s empowerment messages in advertising. While women in both countries largely responded positively to femvertising, perceiving it as empowering and motivational, men’s reactions were more polarized. Russian men displayed substantial resistance, with many viewing the advertisement’s feminist undertones negatively and interpreting it as an imposition of Western feminist ideas that undermine traditional values. This opposition aligns with Russian political discourse, which in recent years has shifted towards the preservation and reinforcement of traditional spiritual and moral values. In contrast, Turkish men were relatively more receptive to femvertising messages, though they still expressed some caution. Turkey’s more varied discourse on gender, which balances secular ideas and traditional Islamic values, contributed to a less polarized reaction to femvertising. The study underscores the importance of authenticity in femvertising, noting the potential for backlash and skepticism towards commercialized feminism, particularly among male audiences. It also highlights the importance of diversity, recommending the inclusion of men, alongside women of varied religions, body types, and appearances, to foster inclusivity and prevent discrimination. These findings enrich the literature on gender-focused advertising, emphasizing the importance of cultural sensitivity and adherence to authentic femvertising principles when employing femvertising strategies across diverse cultural landscapes.

WORKLOAD CHARACTERIZATION AND ADAPTIVE RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN EDGE-CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS USING BI-DIRECTIONAL LSTM NETWORKS
Authors: Rehman Mujeeb Ur , Zunaira Rashid  , Akbar Hussain  , Imtiaz Hussain
Published: December 2024

Resource management is crucial for performance and energy consumption of running operating systems especially in the heterogeneous distributed infrastructure of edge and cloud computing. This paper focuses on the methodological contributions (2020–2024) cataloged in the literature toward workload characterization, emphasizing the importance of task behavior and resource variability. We propose an advanced facilitating tool called the ‘Obligation Profiler’ which links Obligation Voting with statistical profiles and Bi-Directional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks to map workflow intricacy. BD LSTM architecture provides more accurate identification of workloads by making use of the forward and backward information of the data. Using this model, we make reasonable and adaptive assignment decisions for allocating computational resources across the tasks. The current framework is tested in several computing platforms and shown to generate enhancements on the system parameters, power consumption, and scalability. The principal lesson from this work is that there is a need to integrate the use of different machine learning techniques like LSTM with more traditional resource management approaches.

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and genome editing techniques like CRISPR has entirely shifted the medical field, offering unparalleled progress in manipulating genes, evaluations, and personalised therapy. Such as a Chinese Scientist “He Jiankui” altered the genes CCR5 in an experiment through the CRISPR technique that shocked the world. He was sentenced to 3 years for “Illegal Medical Practice”. The International Bioethics Committee (IBC) under UNESCO wrote a report in 2021 about protecting future generations elaborating article 16 of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, 2005. Still, the moral ramifications of genome editing require meticulous examination, especially in speckled societal and religious settings.  This research examines the incorporation of gene editing and AI technologies in healthcare from the perspective of Islamic bioethics. such as inviolability, human honour, and the concept of fairness. This paper delineates the anticipated advantages of gene editing in tackling inherited diseases and raising the precision of diagnoses. It also explores the moral quandaries which encompass issues such as manipulating genes and data confidentiality. Islamic bioethics draws its origins from the Quran, Hadith, and the Shariah laws. It provides valuable perspectives highlighting the significance of ethical accountability, intellectual agreement, and the goal of collective welfare. By conducting a thorough examination of current bioethical research and analysing instances from nations, it emphasizes the potential of Islamic moral structures to guide the appropriate utilization of gene editing and AI in the field of medicine. Moreover, it explores the influence of religious intellectuals in modifying laws and promoting a diverse discourse that connects technological advances with spiritual values. This research suggests a series of scruples for incorporating gene-editing and AI into health care, based on Islamic ethics.

Polivalenza del ridere: i casi omerici di ἄσβεστος γέλως
Authors: Pasqualini Fabrizio
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT Polyvalence of laughter: Homeric cases of ἄσβεστος γέλως  The present article intends to analyze the three different Homeric cases of ἄσβεστος γέλως (Il. I 599; Od. VIII 326; XX 346). By considering both linguistic elements which are referred to the noun γέλως and some narratological aspects in relation to which the lines being discussed could be considered, the purpose of this article is to give a specific interpretation of the different scenes. More specifically: in the first part, I will discuss the possibility that the Homeric laughter is related, from a semantic and linguistic point of view, to the idea of a physical movement; in the second part, I intend to show that the massive use of γέλως displayed by the gods who make fun of Hephaistos could be interpreted as a sort of psychological displacement; in the last part of the article, I show a vital trait of the Homeric unquenchable laughter, namely the fact that each and every detail referred to it leads to think that this kind of laughter is an exclusive prerogative of the Olympians: whenever it involves human beings, it brings nothing but madness and death.
CaBP1 and 2 enable sustained CaV1.3 calcium currents and synaptic transmission in inner hair cells

To encode continuous sound stimuli, the inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses utilize calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs), which reduce the inactivation of their CaV1.3 calcium channels. Mutations in the CABP2 gene underlie non-syndromic autosomal recessive hearing loss DFNB93. Besides CaBP2, the structurally related CaBP1 is highly abundant in the IHCs. Here, we investigated how the two CaBPs cooperatively regulate IHC synaptic function. In Cabp1/2 double-knockout mice, we find strongly enhanced CaV1.3 inactivation, slowed recovery from inactivation and impaired sustained exocytosis. Already mild IHC activation further reduces the availability of channels to trigger synaptic transmission and may effectively silence synapses. Spontaneous and sound-evoked responses of spiral ganglion neurons in vivo are strikingly reduced and strongly depend on stimulation rates. Transgenic expression of CaBP2 leads to substantial recovery of IHC synaptic function and hearing sensitivity. We conclude that CaBP1 and 2 act together to suppress voltage- and calcium-dependent inactivation of IHC CaV1.3 channels in order to support sufficient rate of exocytosis and enable fast, temporally precise and indefatigable sound encoding.

The Mediterranean Sea is recognized as one of the most threatened marine environments due to pollution, the unintentional spread of invasive species, and habitat destruction. Understanding the biodiversity patterns within this sea is crucial for effective resource management and conservation planning. During a research cruise aimed at assessing biodiversity near desalination plants in the vicinity of Larnaca, Cyprus, conducted as part of the WATER-MINING project (Horizon 2020), specimens of the tanaidacean genus Apseudopsis were collected. These were classified into two species, identified as new to science, and are described herein as Apseudopsis larnacensis sp. nov and Apseudopsis salinus sp. nov. Apseudopsis larnacensis sp. nov is distinguished from its congeners by the presence of a lateral apophysis on pleonite 5, which is longer than those on pleonites 1–4, hyposphenia on pereonites 2–6, and six ventral spines on the propodus of pereopod 1. Apseudopsis salinus sp. nov. is characterized by a rounded posterolateral margin on pereonite 6, hyposphenia on pereonites 1–6, and four ventral spines on the propodus of pereopod 1. An updated key to the Atlantic and Mediterranean Apseudopsis species is provided. This study provides an overview of the distribution, bathymetric, and habitat preference of all known Apseudopsis species. Data extracted from the literature and two popular online databases were analyzed to identify diversity patterns across seas and ecoregions. Our analysis reveals that the Mediterranean is the most diverse region for Apseudopsis, with the Levantine Sea hosting ten species and the South European Atlantic Shelf seven species. Shallow waters and muddy and sandy habitats are conducive for Apseudopsis occurrence.
