Replanteamiento de la Agenda 2030 ante el escenario de crisis pandémica: mirada desde la Sociología
Authors: Tamboleo García Rubén
Published: September 2021

The pandemic crisis has strongly affected both developing and developing countries, so that public policies, development plans and strategic plans such as the 2030 Agenda have been significantly impacted.

As a methodology: examining the scope of Latin American countries, those that had been more involved, and those that were later, can be done by examining which ones had established a government department at the country level for the implementation of the agenda. Those who have not done so will be more difficult to join the achievement of the SDGs effectively by the year 2030.

In addition, inviting professional, academic and scientific reflection, it is worth asking ourselves in what way, and critically, in this scenario of a crisis that indicates that in most countries, it will cost us to take off a few years, maintenance is compatible of the Agenda as planned, if this approach is equally effective for less developed countries, or if there are objectives and priorities that should now receive greater attention from governments and social institutions.

Therefore, if the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals are promoted from the highest levels, it is important to be able to open a critical space to whether this is going to have a positive impact on Latin American society, or nevertheless after the impact of the Pandemic crisis that has not ended, it is necessary to set other objectives. As we can see, there is room for a rethinking or an update of the agenda.
Investigating the psychological factors that affect Egyptian investors’ behaviour and decisions before and after the pandemic
Authors: Hafez Hassan M.
Published: September 2021

Egyptian investors have lost a large portion of their investment due to the coronavirus pandemic. This research is novel research that aims to identify the behavioral factors of Egyptian investors that affect their investment decisions, before and after the pandemic. A number of survey questionnaires were distributed to Egyptian investors, in addition to personal interviews. Descriptive statistics and a regression model were used to analyzing the impact of psychological factors on the investment decisions for Egyptian investors. Results revealed that demographic and psychological factors influence investment decisions: overconfidence, loss, and regret aversion, disposition effect, representativeness and herding behavior, but it is not affected by gambler’s fallacy. It is affected also by some other demographic variables. However, income level has no effect. After the pandemic, not all demographic and psychological factors affect Egyptian investor’s behaviour. The behaviour finance theory is valid only and applied before the pandemic. This research opens the door for a new dimension to studying how to work on the governance of investors’ decisions, rationalizing those decisions and their effectiveness, which ultimately contributes to achieving high returns on their investment portfolios.

The Georgian economy has significant potential of growth and for enhancing competitiveness. Consequently, the state periodically encourages the creation of a favourable entrepreneurial and investment climate that is also systematically affected by active globalization processes on the world market. In order to alleviate these processes, the state is modernizing the economy and infrastructure sectors, part of which is the Autonomous Republic of Adjara and its agriculture. Promoting its development is important to the extent that addressing food security and sustainable development, increasing rural well-being, and reducing economic inequality between the village and the city depends on it. The purpose of this paper is to study the role of state programs in the transformation of the agricultural sector, as we believe that minimizing state interference in the functioning of the agrarian sector cannot withstand global challenges, key financial, technical and technological support for the sector is relevant in the wake of negative external and internal economic conjuncture changes, which further aggravate food security and its financial sustainability. We believe that the development of effective mechanisms of optimizing and spending the integration of state and private resources needed for the socio-economic development of the country is still relevant today.

Published: September 2021

Adherence to the principles of sustainability in the acquisition of different funds and financial instruments is one of the basic conditions for obtaining funding. In the field of cultural project management, sustainability is more difficult to assess because the concept of culture is multifaceted and not always quantifiable. Identifying and promoting the sustainability of the results of cultural projects outside large cities and in rural areas is particularly important, as each project implemented should serve the growth and cultural development of the area. Unfortunately, the lack of research on this issue proves the need to invest a great deal in identifying and analysing the situation. There is a lack of studies analysing the contribution of cultural projects to the development of regional territories and their long-term benefits. To do this, the research set a goal: to study the practice of ensuring sustainability of results of cultural projects in Zemgale planning region, Latvia. The research used quantitative and qualitative research methods - content analysis of Zemgale Planning Region municipal websites, document research and analysis of Zemgale Planning Region (state institution), as well as semi-structured interviews. The study reveals certain practices that municipal authorities are pursuing to ensure the sustainability of cultural projects, such as linking different activities, using the 'project basket' principle etc., but overall it has to be concluded that sustainable cultural project management still needs to be expanded and improved. There is often a lack of links and feedback between project applicants and final beneficiaries. There are no clear indicators to measure sustainability. New approaches need to be found not only to learn how to integrate sustainability principles into project management, but also to introduce a set of convenient and practical steps to make the desirable sustainability scenario described in theory a common practice in cultural project management.

Published: September 2021

The authors of the article present the results of a study on the evaluation of the remuneration and performance of teachers in general education institutions in the regions of Latvia, which is a topical issue in the implementation of education system reforms. The aim of the study was to find out the opinion of teachers working in general education institutions about the factors influencing work performance, paying special attention to the regional aspects of this problem. The study used quantitative research methods through an extensive online survey. The questionnaire identified the following factors influencing teachers' performance: financial remuneration, non-financial remuneration, organizational culture and politics. The opinion of teachers was analysed in depth by regions of Latvia. The results show that in all regions of Latvia the performance of teachers is most significantly influenced by financial remuneration, non-financial remuneration and organizational culture are also important, but political presence plays an insignificant role. The results also revealed that in all regions (least in Riga and Pieriga) the increase of the minimum monthly wage rate of teachers or the wage is not the determining factor that would increase the performance of teachers. Key words: education performance, regional development, regional disparities.
Entrepreneurship in Cultural and Creative Industries as a Factor Promoting Regional Development
Authors:   EKA University of Applied Sciences, Steinbergs Kaspars , Cane Renate ,   Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences
Published: September 2021

The term creative industries began to be used in the second half of the nineties of last century, and since then it has started to appear in scientific research as well in the policy planning documents and processes in Latvia. For example, The Sustainable Development Strategy of Latvia until 2030 emphasizes both the importance of creative industries and the connection with the formation of a creative urban environment. The National Development Plan of Latvia for 2021-2027 highlights the importance of development of small businesses, including in creative industries and tourism in economically weaker regions. However, the development of creative industries entrepreneurship in the regions of Latvia is a little-studied topic so far. Previous studies on creative industries focus on their development in Riga, on their role in economic development and on general conceptual ideas. Aim of this study is to analyse activities set in the municipal planning documents to promote the development of creative industries and to assess the impact of creative industries entrepreneurship on regional development. The research is based on the analysis of the regional policy planning documents and on interviews with representatives of creative industries and with regional development planners. Research results showed that, while national policy planning documents stress that creative industries have an important role in the regional development, only a small number of local development plans highlight this role. Moreover, these documents are not always properly and effectively implemented. On the other hand, case studies showed that appropriate initiatives foster entrepreneurship in creative industries and they can play a key role in regional development.
Municipal coastal governance system development: Triple governance dimensions principle
Authors:   University of Latvia, Stokmane Maija , Ernsteins Raimonds ,   University of Latvia
Published: September 2021

Integrated coastal governance (ICG) is becoming increasingly important nowadays, since the problems at coastal territories are continuously growing. The coastal zone, however, is a complex socio-ecological system which is extremely difficult to govern because it is very dynamic territory that is also very sensitive to various anthropogenic influences, as well as a lot of conflicts of interest occur there. Coastal area is characterized by a unique and diverse natural and cultural heritage as is the case with Jurmala municipality in Latvia. An integrated approach is important in the governance of such a complex socio-ecological system, but disciplinary/branch approaches are also necessary. The aim of the research was to study and evaluate the complex situation of the coastal governance at the local level, as well as to develop policy proposals for the chosen target territory – Jurmala municipality – and its main target groups. These studies included the analysis of the legislative acts and planning documents, interviews with all the main target groups in the municipality, observation studies, as well as the initial assessment of the coastal governance situation in the Jurmala municipality by using the model of three environmental governance dimensions: (1) coastal governance sectors; (2) coastal governance segments (stakeholders); and (3) coastal governance instruments.

Published: September 2021

As social entrepreneurs address various socio-economic problems in society, there has also been an increased interest in how social enterprises can support specific regions. In Latvia, social enterprises have been operating for a long time, but only recently the Social Enterprise Law was adopted, which regulates the tasks of social entrepreneurship and the support possibilities. This study highlights the level of entrepreneurship activity in the country as a whole (the number of enterprises and the number of newly established enterprises) and within individual statistical regions in the period from 2018 till 2020, analysing the structure of enterprises and indicators representative of entrepreneurship in Latvia and its regions: the dynamics of the number of enterprises per 100 000 inhabitants. The following hypothesis was made: Social entrepreneurship in the regions of Latvia has a disproportionate impact on socio-economic problems. It was found that social enterprises operate twice as much in Riga region as in any other region of Latvia, which has the lowest poverty index. However, the highest poverty index is found in Latgale region, where proportionally the lowest number of social enterprises operates. Social entrepreneurship can be a successful tool for addressing socio-economic problems in the regions and for regional development. For this development to take place, it would be necessary to develop instruments to support social entrepreneurship with the aim of improving the well-being of all regions, not only the region where the social enterprise operates.
Improving the relevance of an English syllabus within a top-down teaching context
Authors: Peralta-Castro Fernando
Published: September 2021

This educational intervention aims to investigate the design of a language syllabus based on school needs within the context of a Mexican Higher Education Institution (MHEI) where the syllabus design process is top-down. Because the investigation requires the researcher to comprehend the subjects of study, data collection techniques which allow participants to express their beliefs and opinions are entirely appropriate. Therefore, in this study, interviews were carried out, as they are widely used in empirical studies, being a suitable way of gaining insight into the participants’ individual and collective process of reflective enquiry. A questionnaire to elicit beliefs and a language test were also administered. The results suggest that the Needs Analysis (NA) procedures implemented turned out to be very useful for gathering the kinds of data needed to enable to meet the learning needs of the teaching context more effectively. In addition, the research reveals that participant teachers were able to accept full responsibility for themselves and their actions as a result of the research, and were able to improve the syllabus as planned. The paper presents an analysis of both a General English Syllabus (GES) and of the School Based Syllabus (SBS) and reveals a clear contrast between them. The findings also suggest that the SBS design process may present challenges.

Theoretical forms of standardization of terms
Authors: Almammadova Sabina
Published: September 2021

The term and the notion appear at the same time under the condition of close mutual relation. There is the relation of event and essence, form and context between the term and notion. The term doesn’t call the notion as an ordinary word, the notion is appointed by the term. The meaning of the term is its appointment. If the appointment is not known, then the term is not known either, that is to say that the term doesn’t call the notion as an ordinary word, the notion is attached to it. Therefore, as the general rule, we speak not about the lexicological meaning of the term, but about its content. The content of the term is its appointment. Besides, the practice of the work on creation of the terminological systems shows that the terminological area is related to certain limits.
Reconceptulising the Role of the Visiting Lecturer:
Authors: Perry Jo , Probine Sarah
Published: September 2021

The national lockdown during semester one of 2020 meant the Manukau Institute of Technology Early Childhood teams needed to revisit the existing requirements of their programmes  in terms of practicum. In response, the teams developed ‘virtual’ meetings to replace the usual observation visit by a visiting lecturer.  By using communication software (Microsoft Teams with cell phone back up) the student and Visiting Lecturer engaged in weekly critically reflective conversations that mentored the student in thinking about their practice, setting goals to work on and articulating their learning.  By using the software in this way, the Visiting Lecturers changed their role from merely assessor of practice to firstly, mentor and guide.  In the online triadic meetings (also using Microsoft Teams and cell phone back-up) it became clear that the traditional model of the student being told how the assessor felt they had met the practicum criteria was replaced with one where the student was able to articulate for themselves. 

At the end of the semester, students and lecturers were invited to give feedback via a survey. The responses focused on the deep learning experienced, ownership of learning, and the confidence the students felt at the on-line triadic. Much more unexpected was the correlation between survey responses and much of the literature. Drawing on these findings, this presentation poses some possibilities for what both the practicum and a reconceptualised relationship between visiting lecturer, associate teacher and students could look like in the ‘new normal’.

O conhecimento do potencial germinativo de sementes é importante para entender os processos ecológicos dos ecossistemas. O estudo objetivou avaliar a emergência e descrever a morfologia da plântula Thyrsodium spruceanum a partir de diásporos coletados na chuva de sementes de um remanescente Floresta Ombrófila Densa das Terras Baixas, Pernambuco, Brasil. O estudo foi desenvolvido no viveiro florestal da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, Recife. Para avaliação da emergência das plântulas, as sementes foram colocadas em caixas de polietileno contendo substrato areia e cultivadas em canteiro sob sombrite 70% e regadas diariamente, durante 35 dias. As sementes são ovoides, marrom acinzentadas e possuem tegumento fino. As plântulas possuem germinação hipógea, criptocotiledonar e cotilédones armazenadores de reservas. Epicótilo alongado, verde e pubescente. Eófilos opostos, peciolados, unifoliolados, com 5 a 9 cm de comprimento, forma ovada, margem inteira e lisa, ápice acuminado e base obtusa, coloração verde, com face abaxial verde lustrosa. Consistência semicoriácea, nervação principal pinada, nervação secundária craspedódroma. Apenas 52% das sementes germinaram e as plântulas emergiram. A semente e a plântula de T. spruceanum apresentaram características morfológicas que facilitam sua identificação em habitat natural. O percentual de emergência das plântulas pode ser aumentado com intervalo de coleta menor que 30 dias ou coleta de frutos e sementes recém caídos.

Published: September 2021

O paracetamol (acetaminofeno) é um fármaco utilizado no tratamento de várias doenças. Este composto pode ser encontrado no meio ambiente devido ao descarte de medicamentos viáveis ou vencidos no esgoto doméstico. Para não contaminar os corpos hídricos, sistemas biológicos têm sido analisados e utilizados como sistemas de tratamento de esgoto contendo diferentes tipos de compostos químicos, incluindo os provenientes de medicamentos. O estudo analisou a influência do ferro e do sulfato na digestão anaeróbia do paracetamol. Foram utilizadas garrafas-reator, com lodo anaeróbio, em regime de batelada, com condições distintas de concentração de ferro (25, 142 e 260 mg Fe2+ L-1) e sulfato (210, 601, 993 mg SO4-2 L-1), seguindo um planejamento fatorial 22. Foram analisados, periodicamente, a DQO, concentração do paracetamol e produção de metano. A máxima eficiência de degradação do paracetamol e de produção de metano, 99% e 100%, respectivamente, ocorreu no reator com 260 mg Fe2+ L-1 e 993 mg SO4-2 L-1. Observou-se que existe uma interação entre o ferro e o sulfato e que eles se complementam na degradação da matéria orgânica nos reatores anaeróbios.

Authors: Ruņģis Dainis Edgars , Krivmane Baiba
Published: September 2021

Acer platanoides L. (Norway maple) is the most widespread native maple species in Europe, with a distribution from south and central Europe to northern Europe and Scandinavia. Acer platanoides is widespread throughout the territory of Latvia, and is mainly found in mixed broadleaf and conifer stands. The genetic diversity and differentiation of Latvian A. platanoides populations was analysed. Sampled populations were located throughout the territory of Latvia, and were selected to represent a range of ecological conditions, with differing levels of anthropogenic impact. A total of 496 individuals from 21 populations were analysed with eight microsatellite markers, which were developed from related Acer species. The obtained molecular data revealed a moderate level of polymorphism, and the analysed Latvian A. platanoides populations were moderately differentiated. This study provides an initial assessment of the genetic diversity and differentiation of Latvian A. platanoides populations, and is also one of the first reports of the analysis of A. platanoides populations using microsatellite markers. The results can be utilised to define A. platanoides genetic resource stands to ensure conservation of a wide range of germplasm.

Authors: Laiviņš Māris , Priede Agnese , Kaupe Dārta , Lazdiņš Andis
Published: September 2021

The succession of semi-natural xeric calcareous grassland plant communities toward deciduous forest communities is poorly studied in Latvia. There is insufficient knowledge on the natural transformation of dry calcareous grasslands of Festuco-Brometea into thermophilous quasi-climax oak forest communities of Quercetea pubescentis that are very rare in Latvia. In this paper, a geobotanical study is presented that included studies of soils, tree age, spatial pattern of trees, vegetation composition of different succession stages, and analysis of environmental factors. The study was conducted in the Abava Valley, West Latvia, an area that is unique with species-rich xeric calcareous Festuco-Brometea grasslands, thermophilous oak forests dominated by Quercus robur, and intermediate secondary succession stages with young to medium-aged Juniperus communis and Pinus sylvestris formations.

Repeated impact testing is an important part of any product development. The tests are carried out on stands of repeated blows. In order to expand the range of functional parameters of mechatronic stands of multiple blows, the following are proposed: criteria for choosing the parameters of an air suspension, a method for predicting changes in the stiffness of a shaper during stand operation, and a method for assessing the effect of the reproducibility of controlled parameters on the stability of a shock pulse. In contrast to the known works, the proposed criteria and methods take into account the requirements for the reproducibility of the shock impulse

Background. In modern medicine, the problem of treating thermal skin burns in pregnant women remains relevant due to insufficient research of pathological processes occurring in the body of a future mother suffering from thermal injury. The aim of the research. To assess the state of homeostasis in rats with thermal skin burns in the middle period of pregnancy. Material and methods. An experimental study was carried out on 36 female outbred white rats weighing 250-350 g, which underwent thermal skin burns in the middle period of pregnancy. The processes of lipid peroxidation and the total content of nitrate / nitrites were studied, the oxygen transport function of the blood and the main biochemical parameters of the blood were assessed. Results. Thermal skin burn in rats in the middle period of pregnancy leads to the development of hypoxia, as judged by the decrease in pO2 and SO2 values, as well as a decrease in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. At the same time, oxidative stress develops, and an increase in the content of nitrate / nitrites is also observed, which reflects the dysfunction of the L-arginine-NO system, causing changes in the oxygen-binding properties of the blood and forming a prooxidant-antioxidant imbalance. Changes in the main biochemical parameters of blood confirm the presence of endogenous intoxication. Conclusions. The revealed violations of homeostasis in pregnant rats with thermal skin burns indicate the important role of oxygen-dependent processes in the pathogenesis of thermal injury, which must be taken into account when developing appropriate measures aimed at eliminating violations in this pathology.

Published: September 2021

Periodic paralysis (paroxysmal myoplegia) is a rare neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the sodium, calcium, and potassium channel genes of skeletal muscle. Common features of primary periodic paralysis are autosomal dominant inheritance, changes in serum potassium levels as a result of a defect in ion channels, and the onset of the disease in the first or second decade of life. Clinically, PP is manifested by episodic attacks of muscle weakness that occur at irregular intervals, attacks are often associated with food or rest after exercise, sometimes accompanied by myotonia. Periodic paralysis is rare in the general population and, as a result, prospective clinical trials of treatment interventions are limited. Due to the low prevalence of primary PCBs and limited treatment options, few prospective studies are available to develop treatment recommendations based on anecdotal evidence and patient case reports. Treatment options include provocation prevention, potassium and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.

Published: September 2021

The sanctuary in the area Mishkova Niva near the town of Malko Tarnovo is an ancient object of our cultural heritage. For many years the site is inaccessible because it falls behind the border enclosure, in the nobody area between Bulgaria and Turkey. However, the site is present with bizarre legends in the local complex of folk narratives. It has been studied by several archaeological expeditions, adorned by Laitsi with exotic and modernist stories of fantasy-type, and today it is fully accessible for visits by ordinary and pilgrimage tourists. Many legends turn it into one of the big prides, but also the great care of the Malkotrnovska municipality.

The article reveals the change in the behavior of young people from post-Soviet states in Moscow under the influence of the social and economic impact on the everyday life of the coronavirus, it is substantiated that the improvement in the quality of their daily life is due to how successfully the Governments of their countries and the EAEU as a whole will interact in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic. We conducted a questionnaire survey of young citizens belonging to the representatives of the "millennials" and "post-millennials" generation (18-38 years old), the EAEU member states and candidates for joining the EAEU (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Moldova, Tajikistan), living, studying or working in Moscow. In April-June 2020, 3,065 people were interviewed (Armenia-417 people, Belarus-463 people, Kazakhstan-406 people, Kyrgyzstan — 399 people, Moldova — 405 people, Russia — 588 people, Tajikistan — 387 people). Only from 21 to 32% of respondents from different countries noted that nothing has changed in their lives. The survey showed that the new situation causes a feeling of fear. The understanding that a person himself cannot eliminate the negative impact of the pandemic leads to the fact that about a fifth of the respondents feel anxiety and irritation, 6.5% — fear, despair and hopelessness. It should be noted that after all, 4 out of 10 respondents maintain a good, optimistic (23.7%) and normal, even (44.0%) mood. The EAEU countries intend to continue working towards a joint response to the threat of coronavirus infection. It should be borne in mind that the nature of such interaction will have certain limits associated with the current level of integration. However, the States of the region are aware that the coronavirus crisis and the "Great Quarantine" may turn out to be a historical fork in the opportunities for the real sector of the economy of the Union member states and requires strengthening unity.

The article shows the results of a comprehensive study of adolescents in the situation of self-isolation during the Covid 19 pandemic. The coronavirus pandemic as a threat to health and the situation of forced self-isolation, the widespread distance learning have changed the familiar world of a teenager. These changes could provoke a decrease in the level of adolescents’ psychological well-being due to the lack of experience in adapting to such unusual conditions. This problem was the subject of our study. The research sample consisted of 126 teenagers aged 12-14 years. The teenagers are the pupils of secondary schools in Moscow. The research methods included a questionnaire based on the questionnaires ("Understanding the situation of self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic", "The attitude of adolescents to forced distance learning"), the test "Scale of subjective well-being" (G. Perue-Badu) translated by M. V. Sokolova, which were conducted via the Google form in June 2020. According to the questionnaire "Understanding the situation of self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic", adolescents have showed an average level of understanding of the situation of self-isolation: they agree with the need for a self-isolation regime, but have difficulties to comply with it, note difficulties in understanding themselves and interacting with their environment, and have an increased sense of anxiety. The similar data were obtained with respect to the indicator of subjective well-being, and we found out the average level of the signs accompanying the main psycho emotional symptoms, changes in mood and self-assessment of health. The questionnaire "The attitude of adolescents to forced distance learning" showed a contradiction: adolescents are interested in distance learning, but they do not like the increase in the volume of homework. It is worth mentioning that we noted adolescents’ dissatisfaction with the changed process of communication with a teacher and unwillingness to continue school education remotely. According to the results of the study, we can conclude that the level of adolescents’ psychological well-being has changed, since the mentioned factors did not contribute to its improvement. We understand that in the nearest future the psycho prophylactic work with the adolescents should be the priority task of school psychologists.

International migration is one of the key factors in the functioning and development of the world economy at the present time. The global COVID-19 pandemic has seriously impacted international migration. In addition to threatening the health of migrants, economic and social shocks threaten the long-term livelihoods and well-being of millions of people. At the moment, many works are devoted to international migration, however, aspects of international migration in North Africa, including in the context of the COVID-19, are poorly researched. This article aims to discuss data on migrants in North Africa with the aim of informing about the possible impact of the COVID-19. The study found that migrants are highly vulnerable to the health impacts of the pandemic from work during the pandemic, as well as vulnerabilities such as housing and poverty. There is a low probability of transferring migrants to remote work, according to international analysts, in most OECD countries the share of immigrants able to work remotely is 5% lower than that of local residents. The risk of infection for migrants is at least twice that of local residents.
