Edición genética en seres humanos. Consideraciones para el debate
Authors: Palma Héctor A.
Published: September 2024

La irrupción de CRISPR en el campo de la biotecnología ha potenciado la capacidad humana de la edición genética, pero al mismo tiempo ha avivado el inquietante debate sobre la posibilidad del mejoramiento humano a través de la tecnología y, en la medida en que se puede intervenir en la línea germinal, incidir en la evolución de la propia especie. En este artículo se trazará un mapa de los principales argumentos en favor y en contra de esa posibilidad de intervenir el genoma humano en la línea germinal y además se expondrán algunas ideas que suelen invadir la discusión, por ejemplo, el problema de la naturaleza humana o la supuesta semejanza con la eugenesia. Se espera poder brindar insumos para una discusión que recién empieza, pero que promete no terminar rápidamente.

The Theme of Adolescence in the Works of L. N. Tolstoy and F. M. Dostoevsky: Axiological Approach of A. A. Ukhtomsky
Authors:   P. G. Demidov Yaroslavl State University, Fedorova Elena A. , Liubarets Viktoria V. ,   P. G. Demidov Yaroslavl State University
Published: September 2024

The article provides a historiography of the coverage of the theme of adolescence in the works of L. N. Tolstoy and F. M. Dostoevsky. An axiological approach to the works of both writers by the famous scientist and thinker A. A. Ukhtomsky allows us to explore the spiritual and moral issues of the works. The story “Childhood” and the novel “The Brothers Karamazov” show the types of proud characters — this is Tolstoy’s Nikolenka and Dostoevsky’s Ilyusha Snegirev. Due to their pride and the desire to please others, both characters experience a similar state of “eclipse,” when carnal feelings drown out the “natural” law. Kolya Krasotkin, like Nikolenka, is carried away by rationalism, which leads both characters to a spiritual crisis.

Objective

To determine efficacy and safety of intrapartum and early postpartum advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) therapy compared to standard insulin therapy (SoC) in pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Research Design and Methods

CRISTAL was a double-arm, open-label, randomized controlled trial in Belgium and the Netherlands, in which 95 pregnant participants with T1D were randomly assigned (1:1) to MiniMed™ 780G AHCL (n=46) or SoC (n=49). This prespecified secondary observational analysis focused on differences in glycemic control and safety outcomes between participants from the original AHCL group who continued AHCL intrapartum (n=27) and/or early postpartum (n=37, until hospital discharge) and participants from the original SoC group using SoC intrapartum (n=45) and/or early postpartum (n=34).

Results

Of the 43 (AHCL) and 46 (SoC) participants completing the trial, 27 (62.8%) continued AHCL and 45 (97.8%) SoC intrapartum, respectively. Compared to SoC, intrapartum AHCL was associated with higher time in range 3.5-7.8 mmol/L (71.5±17.7% vs. 63.1±17.0%, P=0.030), numerically lower time above range >7.8 mmol/L (27.3±17.4% vs. 35.3±17.5%, P=0.054), without increased time below range <3.5 mmol/L (1.1±2.4% vs. 1.5±2.3%, P=0.146). Early postpartum, 37 (86.0%) participants randomized to AHCL used AHCL, with a median increase in insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios of 67% (IQR -14-126). Similar tight glycemic control (3.9-10.0 mmol/L: 86.8±6.7% vs. 83.8±8.1%, P=0.124) was observed with AHCL versus SoC. No severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis was reported in either group.

Conclusions

AHCL is effective in maintaining tight glycemic control intrapartum and early postpartum and can be safely continued during periods of rapidly changing insulin requirements.

Putting the Coronavirus to Work: Developing a Global Engineering Program during a Pandemic
Authors:   West Virginia University, Chalupa Cynthia
Published: September 2024

In the aftermath of COVID-19 shutdowns at campuses across the U.S. in the spring of 2020, student enrollments have fallen and budgets have been severely constrained. To counteract the current and long-term repercussions of the pandemic on institutions of higher education, administrators have called for innovative program development and strategic transformation. In the past, many engineering and world languages departments may have considered the task of creating a collaborative degree program insurmountable or undesirable despite existing models that are successful (e.g. University of Rhode Island’s IEP program). In the era of COVID-19, however, innovative programs combining language with disciplines outside the humanities may not only attract students to study a language, but also pursue a university degree in general. This study examines how conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic led to the support of administrators for new program initiatives, improved cross-campus communication, and establishment of in-person and virtual study and internship abroad experiences. The following describes the experiences of two faculty members in German and Engineering engaged in the early stages of development of a dual degree program in Global Engineering and German. After years of gestation, the program reached a critical point of initiation in the spring and fall of 2020, during campus closures and the shutting of international borders. Precisely the need for innovation brought on by the pandemic led to the collaboration and final acceptance by administrators necessary to bring the program to fruition.

Authors: Setiawan Agus , Asnawi Habib Shulton Asnawi
Published: September 2024

This article reveals the household conditions of the Tabligh Jama'ah in the context of fulfilling the husband's livelihood towards his wife. The fulfilment of livelihood in the Tabligh Jama'ah is interesting to study because the followers of Jamâ'ah Tabligh apply a pattern that is often done, namely Khuruj Fi Sabilillah. The purpose of this article is how is the practice of fulfilling husband's alimony to his wife in Tabligh Jama'ah and its impact on the household from the perspective of wife's psychology? The type of this article is qualitative, analysing in depth related to the fulfilment of maintenance and wife psychology with the aim of revealing the practice of fulfilling the husband's maintenance obligations towards the wife of Jamâ'ah Tabligh, this field research was conducted in Metro City, the primary data source of this article is the husband of Jamâ'ah Tabligh followers and the wife left behind by her husband Khurûj f? sab?lillah. The results of the study found that the fulfilment of maintenance for Tabligh followers in Metro City who perform Khuruj Fi Sabilillah to provide maintenance for their wives is divided into three categories; first, well fulfilled, second less fulfilled, and third unfulfilled. However, the practice of Khuruj Fi Sabilillah causes a lot of household disharmony because the maintenance is not fulfilled, this has an impact on the wife's mental psychological burden, because the wife has to play a dual role, taking care of household affairs while earning a living.

An evolutionary approach to the theory and practice of the functioning of PR-text genres
Authors: Zhilina Anastasia Vladimirovna
Published: September 2024

Currently there is a need to comprehend and systematize the processes of development, transformation and evolution of PR-text genres. In this regard, the author of the article proposes to apply the model of synthetic theory of evolution to functioning of PR-text genres. According to the author, the conscious and methodologically grounded application of the evolutionary approach opens new perspectives for the development of PR-text theory and practice. In the work, the author applies a systematic approach, in which the methods of homomorphism and isomorphism, as well as the model of synthetic theory of evolution are widely used. The purpose of the study is to find the mechanism of evolution of PR-text genres. Using the example of a basic PR-text press release, the article examines the process of evolution of PR-text genres, gives examples of transferring the mechanisms and regularities of evolution to the theory of PR-text. The material of the research are the statements of scientists and practitioners on this problem, as well as a single case of NFT press release, which demonstrates the application of the law of homologous series of N.I. Vavilov. As a result of the conducted research, it becomes obvious that the changes that condition the development of the genre system of PR-texts resemble the mechanism of mutation and recombination. Ultimately, the purpose of applying the evolutionary approach to the study of PR-text genres should be identifying the regularities of genre system development for the subsequent management of this process.

Authors: Zaytseva Olga Anatolievna , Terskikh Marina Viktorovna
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the issue of teaching foreign students the genre of business writing in classes in Russian as a foreign language. The relevance of this topic is due, on the one hand, to the requirements of the State Standard for an advanced level of proficiency in the Russian language, and on the other hand, to the expansion of the functions of the Russian language in a certain part of the world and the need to integrate foreign students into the language environment during their stay in Russia. The process of developing and consolidating the skills of written business communication is considered in the article through the prism of the competency-based approach, namely through the correlation of various aspects of teaching business communication with the subcompetencies that are part of communicative competence. As research material, the article uses authentic and adapted texts of official congratulatory letters, which served as the basis for creating an algorithm for working with the genre of congratulation letters at an advanced level of proficiency in Russian as a foreign language. The tasks and exercises proposed by the authors, aimed at developing and improving the skills of writing congratulatory letters, are divided into three stages of working with the text: preparatory, demonstration and consolidating. The descriptive-analytical method and the design method were used as the main research methods in the article.
La música beat y la normalización de la estética rock en Argentina
Authors: Delgado Julián
Published: September 2024

El éxito de la música beat durante la segunda mitad de los años sesenta constituye un episodio clave, pero muy poco estudiado, de la historia de la música popular argentina. La aparición de numerosos conjuntos locales inspirados en The Beatles y otros grupos similares produjo una fuerte renovación de la música joven y contribuyó fuertemente en la conformación del pop-rock en el país. En este artículo propongo el análisis musical de una de las canciones fundamentales de este fenómeno, «El extraño del pelo largo» de La Joven Guardia. Mi argumento es que esta canción, que fue uno de los grandes hits musicales del año 1969, demuestra la progresiva normalización de la estética rock al interior de la música popular argentina.
The impact of artificial intelligence on intellectual capital development: Shifting requirements for professions and processes in the non-profit sector
Authors: Popescu Cristina Raluca Gh. , Šebestová Jarmila Duháček
Published: September 2024

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is related to the dynamic development of digital skills. This article focuses on the impact of AI on the work of non-profit organizations that aim to help those around them. Based on 10 semi-structured interviews, it is presented here how it is possible to work with AI and in which areas it can be used—in social marketing, project management, routine bureaucracy. At the same time, workers and volunteers need to be educated in critical and logical thinking more than ever before. These days, AI is becoming more and more present in almost all the activities, bringing several benefits to those making use of it. On the one hand, by using AI in the day-to-day activities, the entities are able to substantially decrease their costs and have the advantage of being able to have, in most cases, a better and faster job done. On the other hand, those individuals that are more creative and more innovative in their line of work should not feel threatened by those situations in which organizations decide to use more AI technologies rather than human beings for the routine activities, since they will get the opportunity to perform tasks that truly require their intellectual capital and decision making abilities.

Authors: Kartono Rinikso , Roziqin Ali , Regita Ardhia Saveria , Kamil Muhammad
Published: September 2024

The new cases of HIV/AIDS are being reported in Indonesia tend to increase. for over two decades, the Indonesian government has issued policies to reduce the number of cases through several ministries and local governments, but the results have not indicated signs of success. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the failure of prevention policies to improve policymaking in the future. It focuses on policy and institutional substance aspects using a qualitative design with documentary analysis approach. The results show that the policy failure in dealing with cases is caused by inappropriate rationalization, medicalization, and weak institutional and regulatory roles. Based on these descriptions, stakeholders are expected to emphasize a multi-perspective and holistic approach and rationalize policy objectives with institutional capacity. Moreover, the government needs to increase public and community involvement, strengthening the role of religious leaders and the media, and increase public literacy regarding HIV/AIDS.

Published: September 2024

Desert environments face the challenge of promoting sustainable tourism while balancing economic growth with cultural and environmental preservation. In the context of rapid global tourism expansion, effective destination management becomes crucial for positive economic impact and long-term preservation. This study aims to identify key factors influencing the sustainability of tourism. It explores the interactions between local stakeholders, the supply of tourism products and services, and tourism governance. Utilizing structural equation modeling through the PLS-SEM method, data was collected from 150 stakeholders in desert environments. The findings reveal that the involvement of local tourism stakeholders and the supply of tourism products and services significantly impact sustainable tourism in the desert environment. However, we observe a lack of influence between tourism governance and sustainable desert tourism. The novelty of the study lies in the identification of promotional factors for sustainable desert tourism. The originality of this study lies in its in-depth exploration of the mechanisms for promoting sustainable tourism.

Published: September 2024

In this paper, we will provide an extensive analysis of how Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) could be applied when handling Supply Chain Management (SCM). The paper focuses on how GenAI is more relevant in industries, and for instance, SCM where it is employed in tasks such as predicting when machines are due for a check-up, man-robot collaboration, and responsiveness. The study aims to answer two main questions: (1) What prospects can be identified when the tools of GenAI are applied in SCM? Secondly, it aims to examine the following question: (2) what difficulties may be encountered when implementing GenAI in SCM? This paper assesses studies published in academic databases and applies a structured analytical framework to explore GenAI technology in SCM. It looks at how GenAI is deployed within SCM and the challenges that have been encountered, in addition to the ethics. Moreover, this paper also discusses the problems that AI can pose once used in SCM, for instance, the quality of data used, and the ethical concerns that come with, the use of AI in SCM. A grasp of the specifics of how GenAI operates as well as how to implement it successfully in the supply chain is essential in assessing the performance of this relatively new technology as well as prognosticating the future of generation AI in supply chain planning.
The effect of financial literacy on investment decision making in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: An empirical study
Authors: Uddin Moin , Ali Mohammad Athar , Alhumoudi Hamad , Habib Sufyan , Vivek Vivek , Khan Mohammed Arshad
Published: September 2024

Background: People who are financially literate are able to make sound decisions regarding their money since they have a firm grasp of the fundamentals of money and financial products. The significance of financial literacy has been acknowledged by numerous nations, prompting the formation of task teams to assess their populations and develop educational and outreach programs. The requirement to make educated decisions about ever-increasing financial goods necessitates a higher level of financial literacy. Aim: Being able to make sense of one’s personal financial situation is becoming an increasingly valuable skill in today’s world. One of the most essential components for making sure and successful decisions is having a good grip on one’s financial status. By contrast, financial literacy refers to an individual’s level of knowledge and awareness regarding financial matters, whereas investors’ decision-making is characterised by their understanding, prediction, investigation, and assessment of the various stages and transactions involved in making an investment decision. Risk, a decision-making framework and process, and investing itself are all components of investing. Method: Researchers will conduct a cross-sectional survey of Saudi Arabian investors. We used a structured questionnaire to gather data. Using “Cronbach’s a and confirmatory factors” analysis, we checked whether the data is reliable. The links between financial literacy and investment decisions was demonstrated using structural equation modeling (SEM) in IBM-SPSS and SmartPLS. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to look at how the investment choices of Saudi Arabians are correlated with their degree of financial literacy. Consequently, research on the connection between financial literacy, knowledge, behaviour, and investment choices is lacking. Researchers on this subject have already acknowledged the problem’s importance and intended to devote substantial time and energy to solving it. Findings: The study concluded that there was a significant relationship between financial literacy and financial knowledge with respect of investment decision of investors. Similarly, there was a significant relationship between financial behaviour and financial knowledge with respect of investment decision of investors. The discovery of the outcomes will enable regulatory authorities to aid investors in preventing financial losses by furnishing them with sufficient financial information.
A 5G competency model based on the fuzzy Delphi method
Authors: Naghipour Mohammad Sadegh , Rahim Zulhasni Abdul , Iqbal Muhammad Saqib
Published: September 2024

The fifth-generation technology standard (5G) is the cellular technology standard of this decade and its adoption leaves room for research and disclosure of new insights. 5G demands specific skillsets for the workforce to cope with its unprecedented use cases. The rapid progress of technology in various industries necessitates a constant effort from workers to acquire the latest skills demanded by the tech sector. The successful implementation of 5G hinges on the presence of competent individuals who can propel its progress. Most of the existing works related to 5G explore this technology from a multitude of applied and industrial viewpoints, but very few of them take a rigorous look at the 5G competencies associated with talent development. A competency model will help shape the required educational and training activities for preparing the 5G workforce, thereby improving workforce planning and performance in industrial settings. This study has opted to utilize the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) to investigate and evaluate the perspectives of a group of experts, with the aim of proposing a 5G competency model. Based on the findings of this study, a model consisting of 46 elements under three categories is presented for utilization by any contingent of 5G. This competency model identifies, assesses, and introduces the necessary competencies, knowledge, and attributes for effective performance in a 5G-related job role in an industrial environment, guiding hiring, training, and development. Companies and academic institutions may utilize the suggested competency model in the real world to create job descriptions for 5G positions and to develop curriculum based on competencies. Such a model can be extended beyond the scope of 5G and lay the foundation of future wireless cellular network competency models, such as 6G competency models, by being refined and revised.
Government policies and their impact on the China securities index 300 stock market: Insights from the COVID-19 crisis
Authors: Zhu Yilin , Taasim Shairil Izwan , Daud Adrian , Cai Junjie
Published: September 2024

During crisis events, the government implements many policies to control the development of the crisis and stimulate the economy damaged by the crisis. The government plays a very important role during the crisis. The stock market is a reflection of a country’s economic situation. This article takes the Chinese government policies during the COVID-19 crisis as the research object and analyzes the impact of government policies on the CSI300 index. The following conclusion is drawn: not all government restrictions will cause a decline in stock market prices, among which the Wuhan lockdown policy has promoted the rise of the CSI300 index. The two stimulus policies implemented by the Chinese government are both conducive to the rise of CSI300 index. During the COVID-19 crisis, investors holding high assets, high leverage, and low profitability companies will be significantly negatively affected after the government implements restrictive policies. After the government implements stimulus policies, investors holding high asset and high leverage companies will suffer losses. Investors who hold low asset, low leverage, and high profitability companies will have profits. And this article also finds that the size of company assets is an important driving factor for abnormal returns.
Analysis of magnetized bio-convective Ellis nanofluid flow: Impact of viscous dissipation and activation energy
Authors: Akhtar Tayyaba , Abid Muhammad , Awad Mohamed M. , Chaudhry Munaza , Imran Muhammad
Published: September 2024

This study delves into the complex flow dynamics of magnetized bioconvective Ellis nanofluids, highlighting the critical roles of viscous dissipation and activation energy. By employing a MATLAB solver to tackle the boundary value problem, the research offers a thorough exploration of how these factors, along with oxytactic microorganism’s mobility, shape fluid behavior in magnetized systems. Our findings demonstrate that an increase in the magnetization factor  leads to a decrease in both velocity and temperature due to enhanced interparticle resistance from the Lorentz force. Additionally, streamline analysis reveals that higher mixed convection parameters  intensify flow concentration near surfaces, while increased slip parameters reduce shear stress and boundary layer thickness. Although isotherm analysis shows that higher Ellis fluid parameters enhance heat conduction, with greater porosity values promoting efficient thermal dissipation. These insights significantly advance our understanding of nanofluid dynamics, with promising implications for bioengineering and materials science, setting the stage for future research in this field.
Asphalt pavement structure optimization with alternative materials
Authors: Ostrowski Przemysław , Zofka Adam , Błazejowski Krzysztof , Pszczoła Marek
Published: September 2024

The paper briefly describes modern method assessment of the pavement structure based on the simplified viscoelastic continuum damage (S-VECD) model. The method was used to compare two types of pavement structures. There were analysed classical cstructures with asphalt concretes with neat bitumen and innovative one- or two layered structures with SMA 16 with highly polymer modified bitumen (HiMA). Pavement structures using SMA 16 are especially recommended for local roads, thus two traffic categories were analysed – light and medium. Furthermore, due to specific properties of layers with HiMA, for each variant two different types of improved sub-base were checked. The examples presented, despite reduced thickness of asphalt layers, structures with SMA 16 HiMA are much more resistant to fatigue than classic structures with asphalt concretes with neat bitumen. The results of the research confirm that it is possible to develop innovative structures with materials with above standard properties. New materials both with new arrangement of layers can bring a lot of advantages especially in the areas of sustainable development, costs reducing and improving properties of asphalt pavements.
Influence of humidity fluctuations in the chamber on the calculated values of the moisture diffusion coefficient in wood
Authors: Wicher Anna , Swirska-Perkowska Jadwiga , Pochwała Sławomir
Published: September 2024

In civil engineering applications, alongside inherent resistance, the moisture content in wood is one of the most important factors affecting the durability of wood. The moisture content of wood is significantly influenced by the moisture diffusion coefficient. In this study, the impact of considering humidity fluctuations in a climatic chamber during the sorption process on the computational values of functional coefficients in various models of diffusion coefficient variability with material moisture content was analyzed. The dependence of the moisture diffusion coefficient on moisture concentration in wood was assumed in the form of constant, linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. The coefficients in the sought-after functions were found using the error function minimization method based on the kinetics of moisture sorption measurements in samples of Scots pine in the radial and tangential directions at an average air humidity in the chamber of 32%. As a result of the calculations, it was found that taking into account humidity fluctuations in the climatic chamber improved the fitting of computational curves to experimental curves in the case of constant and exponential models. The values of the diffusion coefficient assumed as constant calculated assuming variable humidity conditions in the chamber, differed on average by about 4% compared to the values of these coefficients obtained without considering air humidity fluctuations. In the case of each analyzed sample, the linear descriptions of the variability of the diffusion coefficient had a less steep course when considering air humidity fluctuations in the climatic chamber during the calculation process.
Measurement and modelling of the temperature distribution caused by the heat of cement hydration
Authors: Helowicz Andrzej
Published: September 2024

This paper describes the author’s method for the direct and continuous measurement of the temperature distribution during the initial period of hardening concrete, together with the results of tests obtained with its use. The first successful test using this method was conducted by the author in May 2001 [7]. In the following years, the author successfully used this method in the study of other structural elements [8] and [9]. He independently developed and made the necessary elements to measure the temperature in hardening concrete. The tested element is a reinforced concrete column with a diameter of 2.0 m and a height of 8.0 m, which is an intermediate support for the flyover under construction along the Wrocław city ring road. The structure consists of two independent continuous 15-span structures made of pre-stressed concrete (Fig. 1). The article additionally presents numerical model of the previously tested reinforced concrete pillar and the calculation results obtained. The numerical calculations were carried out using the Abaqus FEA software [1]. In conclusions, the author summarises the important elements of the on-site test and makes recommendations for further use of this method to predict the temperature distribution in other elements of the structure, provided that they are made of exactly the same concrete mixture.

Published: September 2024

The COVD-19 pandemic has changed the mobility patterns of city dwellers worldwide. These changes apply to the number of trips made, their durations and directions as well as transport modes chosen for travelling purposes. In general, although the number of trips decreased, the use of cars increased and that of public transport declined. These mobility changes were induced by the fear of travelling in crowded vehicles and the extent of restrictions introduced by the governments. The effects of such changes are hard to assess and their evaluation is a complex issue. Based on data available about the transportation system in Warsaw and analysis of Big Data (comprising SIM card movements, acquired from mobile phone network operators), a research project has been carried out under the “IDUB against COVID-19” programme. Transportation models had been built which enabled estimation of the number of trips made at each stage of the pandemic in the spring 2020 and identification of differences through comparison with the models developed for the pre-pandemic conditions (year 2019). The calculations enabled assessment of the social costs of the pandemic associated with the urban transportation system, brought about mostly by changes in using private and public transport modes. The cost efficiency of public transport decreased as a result of limits on the number of passengers per vehicle introduced by transport authorities.

Container settlements (CS) have been widely used as emergency and temporary dwellings in Europe due to the advantages of rapid deployment, cost-efficiency and relatively good living standards. Nevertheless, many authors emphasize the risks of disturbing the spatial order and stigmatization of residents that can lead to deepening the feeling of unrooting and generate substantial social problems. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the main architectural characteristics of CS built in Ukraine to address internal migration caused by war. Multiple comparative case study includes 18 settlements built for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in three distinctive phases. The research focuses on the features critical to human comfort and life quality: settlement size, program, building typology, spatial arrangement, circulation, unit layout, degree of privacy. Results show that developments from 2015 and 2022 have similarities including basic program, size of dwelling units and density, but there are important differences related to the time allocated to designing and construction as well as expected period of operation. Basic recommendations for improving existing and planned developments are increasing the privacy by creating collective-private space outside and inside, developing a rich program, use existing greenery and new landscaping, providing good transit to the urban centres, using all-year weatherproof typologies and technical solutions suitable for long-term use. This fact must be considered in the process of designing new CS for IDPs and refugees, that are being planned and constructed in Ukraine and Europe.
Aktywizacja czy dezaktywizacja zawodowa matek małych dzieci w powiatowych urzędach pracy? Upłciowienie norm dotyczących pracy
Authors: Palęcka Alicja , Sztandar-Sztanderska Karolina
Published: September 2024

Celem artykułu jest analiza norm kulturowych i przekonań dotyczących ról płciowych ujawniających się w działaniach urzędniczek pierwszego kontaktu w powiatowych urzędach pracy w Polsce. Przedmiotem analizy jest realizacja normy obowiązku pracy oraz normy włączenia w pracę wobec „matek małych dzieci” jako grupy osób bezrobotnych, skonstruowanej w praktykach urzędniczek i wskazywanych przez nie w wywiadach. Kontekstem badania jest okres obowiązywania profilowania osób bezrobotnych w urzędach pracy w Polsce. Dawało ono personelowi PUP dodatkowe narzędzia do kategoryzowania osób bezrobotnych. Autorki zauważają, że różnicowanie oczekiwań i praktyk wobec „matek małych dzieci” może przyczyniać się do dezaktywizacji zawodowej tej grupy kobiet oraz wzmacniania polityki familializmu. Analizując działania dwóch urzędów, wyróżniają ograniczony i nieograniczony familializm. Wnioski dotyczą dalszych zmian w polityce rynku pracy.
Paradoksalna legitymizacja kryptoaktywów. Praca instytucjonalna i zmiana społeczna
Authors: Szalacha-Jarmużek Joanna , Pietrowicz Krzysztof
Published: September 2024

Artykuł pokazuje proces instytucjonalizacji kryptoaktywów. Zostaje postawiona teza, że szereg globalnie działających aktorów wykonuje obecnie intensywną pracę instytucjonalną, której skutkiem jest legitymizacja kryptoaktywów. Owa legitymizacja dokonuje się paradoksalnie w kontraście do idei leżącej u podstaw powstania kryptoaktywów, które miały radykalnie ograniczyć znaczenie tradycyjnych instytucji finansowych. Analizie jakościowej poddano materiały poruszające temat kryptoaktywów wytwarzane przez trzy grupy aktorów: finansowe korporacje transnarodowe (banki inwestycyjne i duże grupy bankowości detalicznej), banki centralne krajów grupy G7 oraz globalne firmy konsultingowe jako reprezentantów globalnego sektora usługowego. W wymiarze empirycznym została dokonana rekonstrukcja narracji na temat kryptoaktywów prezentowanych przez aktorów instytucjonalnych centralnych dla kształtu globalnych rynków finansowych. Na poziomie ogólnym artykuł stara się pogłębić wiedzę na temat tego, w jaki sposób podmioty centralne dla rynków finansowych przejmują instytucje, które powstały z intencją ich radykalnego osłabienia.
