Philosophy of Cooperation in Institutional Design: Origins, Limitations, and Prospects
Authors: Balatsky Evgeny V.
Published: December 2024

The article explores the essence of cooperation philosophy as an alternative to competitive mechanisms of social interaction. The author presents arguments concerning the potential widespread adoption of this new philosophical approach to institutional design, analyzing their validity and feasibility. The philosophical foundation of this new methodology is explored through the lens of dialectical unity between two aspects of human behavior: cooperation within social groups to ensure effective competition with other groups. The biological basis of cooperation is examined within the framework of contemporary multilevel selection theory, demonstrating that cooperative and competitive traits are typically distributed across different social levels, with their proportions fluctuating continuously during adaptation to changing conditions. The article proposes a simple theoretical framework for describing the phenomenon of cooperation, based on the hypothesis that the level of consensus in decision-making depends on the aggressiveness of social group members, which is determined by both ecological environment (external condition) and cultural attitudes (internal condition). The author discusses the prospects for the widespread implementation of the philosophy of cooperation in institutional design in the modern world. Through the analysis of anthropological data, it is shown that sustained peace among different nations and cultures is not a natural phenomenon and requires deliberate efforts to overcome inherent behavioral patterns. The possibility of cultivating a new worldview based on the philosophy of cooperation is substantiated through the integration of appropriate cultural attitudes. The conclusion drawn is that, in the near term, the widespread adoption of this model appears unlikely due to escalating geopolitical tensions and deteriorating living conditions, which lead to increased societal aggression. However, achieving this objective is feasible in the long term, allowing sufficient time for changes in the biological nature of humans.
Social Dialogue as an Instrument of Institutional Governance in Social Development
Authors: Merzlykov Andrey A.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the role of social dialogue in Russia as an instrument of institutional governance in social development. The author analyzes the distinctive features of social dialogue as a unique social institution with transformative potential for overcoming societal fragmentation and polarization. The search for adequate forms of social participation becomes particularly acute in light of the growing threat of sociocultural divisions between modernization-oriented and traditionalist analytical frameworks of social development. The study explores two main aspects of the functioning of social dialogue: its role in securing public support for governmental programs and in forming effective mechanisms for social participation within the system of relations between the federal center and the regions. Social dialogue in the “center – regions” system emerges when the negotiation process involves not only governmental (authority) structures but also public representatives. Citizen participation in negotiations represents a specific form of self-determination by population segments either supporting or opposing particular joint project between the center and the region. The absence of comprehensive social dialogue may lead to significant challenges in implementing state programs, while its proper organization enhances their effectiveness. The author provides an example of unifying mechanisms for implementing the principle of social participation through the formation of a poly-subject interaction environment and the “assembly of subjects” (V.E. Lepsky’s term) in regional development. The article concludes that the institutionalization of social dialogue facilitates the transfer of certain rights and resources from the center to the regions in managing socio-economic processes, promotes the development of flexibility and adaptability in dialogical practices while simultaneously abandoning the rigid command-administrative management model, and strengthens partnership interactions among participants in social development.

MSMEs AL Farizi Tapis is one out of the MSMEs within the province of Lampung whose method of listing orders, stock, and bookkeeping is done physically and never makes even a business report. The problem is that MSME’s decline order. The problem that occurs is that MSMEs refuse orders because there are no raw materials or the time to purchase raw materials takes a long time, as well as the processing time which is felt to be tight so there is concern that the filter craft will not be on time. Apart from that, bookkeeping which is done manually is also difficult because it often happens that people forget to record or there are missing notes regarding orders and transactions. MSMEs have never carried out warehouse management so they don't know what stock of raw materials is still available or has run out. A simple integrated application is needed that can help MSMEs organize production schedules, order recording, transaction records, warehouse management, and financial reports to optimize MSME business processes. The service used Participatory Action research and training methods. After carrying out service, MSMEs can use the Krealogi application so they can minimize incorrect recording or loss of order records or sales transactions, missed production plans, and the absence of financial reports.

Agriculture-oriented services of local governments in Türkiye
Authors: Bölükbaş Vahit
Published: December 2024

Recently, international organisations, central governments and local governments around the world provide services and supports to producers under different headings in order to support local rural development. While in many countries such services and supports are mostly provided by central governments, in Turkey, especially in recent years, local governments along with the central government have also been playing a role as stakeholders and supportive actors in agricultural activities. This study provides information on the support services provided by metropolitan governments to producers in agricultural activities in Turkey. The data of the study were obtained from the 2022 and 2023 annual activity reports of seven metropolitan municipalities selected as a sample from seven regions of Turkey using the document analysis method. As a result of the study, it is seen that, unlike similar examples in the world, metropolitan municipal governments in Turkey provide support to producers in agricultural activities under various headings such as tools, equipment, production materials, seedlings, sapling distributions, cooperatives, grants and loans. While central governments in many countries contribute to local governments in cooperation with international organisations to support agricultural production, it is observed that local governments in Turkey do not benefit from these supports sufficiently.
Diagramming the Topology of Technology and Architecture in the 21st Century
Authors: Yokuş Asude , Sayın Tolga
Published: December 2024

The research aims to address the existence of neoliberal policies in contemporary architectural production from an onto-political perspective. In Deleuze's ontology, the movement between the self and the other is established between the architect-subject and the ideological other. This relation is explored through the technique's being the object or subject of thought. In this context, the choices made by the architect-subject within the ethical framework are evaluated as active and passive and read through the symbolic plane it externalizes. The active and passive positionings of architectural thought reconstruct the professional boundaries of architecture. The surface formed by the movement of the relationship between the architect-subject and the ideological other on the temporal axis establishes the topology of technology-architecture thought.
Post-Earthquake Urban Planning in Türkiye: Evaluating Disaster Refuge Systems in Hatay and Istanbul
Authors: Dinç Gizem , Gök Büşra Nur
Published: December 2024

Countries prone to significant earthquakes often develop disaster refuge and relief urban park systems to enhance urban open green spaces, which serve as temporary shelters for evacuation after seismic events. This paper examines the disaster refuge sites and urban open green space system in the center of Hatay following the February 6, 2023 earthquake. The findings provide insights into the resilience of Turkish cities after seismic events. Subsequently, the refuge sites and green space systems in Istanbul, a metropolis expected to experience a major earthquake, were analyzed in light of the Hatay example. Using ArcGIS, the service areas of shelter sites and urban open green spaces (within a 15-minute walking distance) were calculated and compared. Results indicate that the service areas for emergency shelters in the center of Hatay and Istanbul's Fatih district are insufficient. This highlights the need for better-planned urban open green spaces for evacuation purposes. This study makes significant contributions to improving shelter and evacuation processes after earthquakes in the fields of disaster management and urban planning.

Published: December 2024

Diversity and inclusion are important metrics for employers to build a reputation as an employer of choice. However, existing literature provides an ambiguous understanding of the topic, as debates among scholars regarding the actual impacts of diversity on the performance of organizations are ongoing. In this regard, this study surveyed 173 employees to obtain an honest picture of how they perceived their employers' commitment to preserving diversity and inclusion at work. This study found that many respondents were unsure of the inclusive practices their employers carried out due to gaps between what their employers promised to deliver and what they actually delivered.
Additive manufacturing in the development of low-cost immersive virtual reality solutions for education: a study with google cardboard
Authors: Ivan Ferreira Martins
Published: December 2024

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that makes it possible to create simulated worlds using computer systems. This study presents a proposal to develop a Google Cardboard prototype using additive manufacturing. The central aim of the study is to contribute to the understanding of low-cost Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) alternatives; to assist in the scientific-technological development of IVR solutions; and to contribute to technological development and access in a social context and to the preservation of the environment through sustainable technological solutions. Developed in two stages, the theoretical foundation aimed to systematize and understand the concepts involving VR, low-cost solutions for VR - specifically Google Cardboard - and additive manufacturing. The experimental research involved producing the Google Cardboard from the specifications provided by the company, creating a digital model of the display, printing the 3D model and testing the prototype developed. The results of the study indicate that additive manufacturing could be a promising technology for developing low-cost and sustainable VR solutions. The use of filaments made from recyclable materials, such as PET, can help reduce the environmental impact of this type of technology, as well as providing the possibility of social transformation. Therefore, this study contributes to advances in the development of accessible and sustainable solutions in VR, cost reduction, the evolution of Google Cardboard and understanding of the concepts involved. Limitations include the lack of tests with real users and the failure to investigate the impact of focal distance on visual comfort.
Causal Discovery Methods in Psychological Research: A Tutorial in R
Authors: Zhu Guangyu , Tay Li Qian , Zhang Mengyan
Published: December 2024

Understanding causality and the mechanisms underlying psychological phenomena has been a cornerstone of psychological research, with significant implications for theory development and intervention design. While traditional methods such as experimental manipulations or structural equation modelling have been extensively used to explore causal relationships, recent advances in causal inference studies have introduced causal discovery methods as a powerful alternative. These methods can uncover complex causal structures from observational or interventional data, offering unique utility such as identifying causal directions and handling complex causal networks involving numerous variables. This paper provides an introduction to causal discovery methods tailored for psychological research. We review foundational concepts, introduce the classical algorithms, and present a practical tutorial in R, equipping researchers with tools to implement these methods on psychological data. We also discuss the potential of these methods to accelerate theory formation, refine interventions, and foster cross-disciplinary understanding of human cognition as well as the challenges of integrating causal discovery into psychological research.

Several scholars in the field of science instruction suggested that various challenges can hinder an individual in learning (Chin et al., 2016; Drinkwater et al., 2014; Huang et al., 2015). Furthermore, the help of other people enhances learning. This study applied the Feynman Technique and the practice of paired team teaching to identify the challenges of students in understanding the concept of evolution in a high school Biology class. The researchers tested 20 students from a Grade 10 Adult Night High School class of a private school in the Philippines. The control group took the class without the intervention while the experimental group was introduced to the intervention. Purposive sampling was used based on the student’s class standing before the experiment. A ten-item assessment on the evolution of horses was done after the experiment. The study revealed that there is not enough evidence to prove the existence of a significant difference in the results of the control group (M=6.646, SD=17.9) and the experimental group (M=6.653, SD=3.71) for the administered assessment; t(15)=1.75, p=0.05. It is recommended that the intervention should be tested in a larger population, regardless of grade level and a science subject. This is to validate what other variations of inputs can be created from the Feynman Technique.
Contextual History Guides Spatial Attention During Search
Authors: Mizuno Jumpei , Ueda Yoshiyuki , de Brecht Matthew , Hagura Nobuhiro , Saiki Jun
Published: December 2024

Humans flexibly allocate attention depending on the given context. The dominant view posits that attention is guided by spatial and temporal sensory contextual cues that directly specify the target location. In real-world scenarios, however, such contextual cues are not always accessible, posing a problem for identifying the current context. Here, using a visual search paradigm combined with eye movement measurement, we show that humans also rely on the history of the previous context to infer the most probable context for guiding attention proactively. Participants searched for a visual target among the distractors. On one side of the display, targets were consistently associated with a particular fixed distractor configuration (Repeated condition), while on the other side, targets appeared with non-repeated, novel configurations (Novel condition). The Repeated condition represented a highly probable context, while the Novel condition represented rare contexts. Regardless of the current condition, participants’ initial saccade was biased toward the target direction of the Repeated condition, showing attentional guidance toward the location indicated by the most encountered context. Importantly, this attentional bias already existed before the onset of the search display, indicating the proactive use of contextual history to guide attention. We confirm that the probability of the target location or the movement parameters to report the target could not explain this context-history bias. Our study shows that, together with the sensory cue-based context detection mechanism, the context-history is also proactively used to robustly guide attention in the yet-unknown forthcoming context.

Does Earnings Management Impact Corporate Governance Disclosure? Evidence of Endogeneity from UK FTSE 100 Firms
Authors: Dinga Abdella Kormie
Published: December 2024

The study investigates the impact of earnings management (EM) on corporate governance disclosure (CGD). The results of simultaneous equation modeling analysis using 3SLS estimation, firstly, provide evidence of endogenous (reverse causality and dynamic endogeneity) relationship between EM and CGD, where EM and CGD enhance each other and the previous CGD enhances the current CGD. Secondly, as expected, the used internal auditing characteristics, namely the number of audit committee (AC) meetings and the proportion of independent directors in the AC, influence CGD positively. Thirdly, the internal auditing characteristics interestingly exhibit negative impact on EM. Finally, the study contributes to knowledge by furthering the scant research on the unexplored theme of the impact of EM on CGD; diverting the inquiry from the impact EM on CGD vice versa; and the refinement of the methodological tools.
Poland between the West, Russia and… Turkey. The mythologization of Polish-Turkish relations in Ryszard Berwiński’s memoirs and correspondence from the Ottoman Empire
Authors: Sadowski Adrian
Published: December 2024

The study analyzes Ryszard Berwiński’s memoirs, letters, and articles written in the 1850s after the poet had emigrated to the Ottoman Empire during the Crimean War. The article focuses primarily on the literary legacy of Berwiński who actively promoted cooperation with Turkey during the fight for Poland’s independence. The main emphasis was placed on the mythologization of Polish-Turkish relations, Berwiński’s views on the East-West dichotomy, and his commentaries on the political systems and history of Poland and Turkey. The myth of a “righteous Turkey” and the deconstruction of the concept of Poland as the bulwark of Christianity in Europe seem particularly interesting in this context. The analysis of Berwiński’s historical self-awareness aims was undertaken to expand the existing research on the political thought during the Partitions of Poland. Poland’s relations with Turkey, the only neighbor of thefirst Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that did not participate in any of the three Partitions, constitute an interesting chapter in Polish history, but remain insufficiently investigated.

Published: December 2024

Results of a study of physical parameters of stellar population in star formation regions in galaxies with signs of peculiarity NGC 3963 and NGC 7292 are presented. The study was carried out based on the analysis of photometric (UBVRI bands), Hα and spectroscopic data obtained by the authors, using evolutionary models of stellar population. Among 157 star formation regions identified in galaxies, the young stellar population mass estimates were obtained for 16 of them and the age estimates were obtained for 15 ones. The age of star formation regions clearly correlates with the presence of emission in the Hα line: H II regions in galaxies are younger than 6–8 Myr, and the regions without gas emission are older. The studied objects are included in the version 3 of our catalogue of photometric, physical and chemical parameters of star formation regions, which includes 1667 objects in 21 galaxies. Key aspects of the used technique to estimate the physical parameters and different relations between observational and physical parameters of the young stellar population in star formation regions are discussed.

To maintain the single-phase nature of the cubic solid solution Ba2(Y,Cu,Mo)2O6, which is prone to polymorphism, titanium oxide was used. As a result of the synthesis by burning the gel, annealing at 1000°C and subsequent cooling in an inertial thermal mode, the cubic modification F3m without an admixture of perovskite Fm3m for the composition Ba5Y2CuMoTiO14 was obtained for the first time. A comparative study of samples Ba4Y2CuMoO11 and Ba5Y2CuMoTiO14 was carried out using the methods of X-ray phase analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

Published: December 2024

Alloys of the GeTe–Bi2Te3–Te system, synthesized using a special technique that makes it possible to obtain them in a state as close as possible to equilibrium, have been studied using the methods of differential thermal and X-Ray diffraction analysis, as well as scanning electron microscopy. A solid-phase equilibria diagram, a projection of the liquidus surface, some polythermal sections and an isothermal section at 300 K of the phase diagram were constructed. The fields of primary crystallization of phases, types and coordinates of non— and monovariant equilibria are determined. It has been established that monovariant equilibria on curves emanating from the peritectic and eutectic points of the GeTe–Bi2Te3 boundary system undergo transformations at certain transition points. Near the tellurium corner of the concentration triangle, a cascade of invariant transition reactions has been identified, characterizing the joint crystallization of two-phase mixtures of telluride phases and elemental tellurium.

Exotic Biodiversity as Depicted in Vamana Purana
Authors: Patil Dinkarrao Amrutrao
Published: December 2024

After Vedas, Puranas are the literary heritage of India. Vamana Purana is one of the 18 major Puranas. It is divided into 196 sections or chapters with Sanskrit Slokas in which Sanskrit plant names are incorporated. These Sanskrit plant names are equated with valid botanical (Latin) names and their nativities are ascertained to pinpoint plant invasion in ancient period of times on Indian landmass. As many as 16 species pertaining to 16 genera and 14 angiospermic families are revealed. Of these, 04 species are monocotyledons, whereas rest others belong to dicotyledons. Majority of them (11 species) are cultivated, whereas other (05) species run wild on Indian landmass. These are discussed in the light of ancient plant invasion (bioinvasion) in India.

Gleanings From Brhat Sumhita in Context of Plant Invasion in India
Authors: Patil Dinkarrao Amrutrao
Published: December 2024

This communication informs exotic plant species as gleaned from Varahamihira's (505-587 AD) Brhat Samhita. The said treatise contains plant species of medicinal significance and also those used for miscellaneous purposes. The present author critically analysed their Sanskrit plant names and equated with recent botanical (Latin) names assigning to their respective families. They are deciphered for their exotic status consulting relevant taxonomic literature. Brhat Samhita contains information on total 273 plant species for various uses. Out of these, as many as 77 exotic plant species pertaining to 73 genera and 38 angiospermic families. Their categorization based on habit is also proposed along with their status regarding wildness or as cultigens. It is hoped that such studies on plant invasion in ancient period of India many help add in the history of bioinvasion and also useful in the considerations of biodiversity management and its conservation measures in future.
