Introduction. Every day, the number of news, pages on social networks and chats on the Internet is increasing, accordingly, there is an increase in information that carries an emotional load. At the same time, the number of information threats is also growing. Under such conditions, the construction of systems for determining the emotional color of texts becomes extremely relevant.

Purpose. Emotional messages can be found and classified using artificial intelligence, namely based on neural network methods. For the process of learning neural networks, it is necessary to have a training sample of texts with a preliminary assessment of their emotional coloring. Such marked learning samples exist for news and texts in English, however, at the moment, no accessible learning sample of Ukrainian news and texts has been created.

Methods. Using statistical methods of sentiment analysis for detecting text tonality with extended vocabulary.

Results. Extended tonality vocabulary of the Ukrainian language was built. A large corpus of texts and their emotional coloring was built with an expertly assessed markup accuracy of 98%, containing 5,318,783 texts of various types in the Ukrainian language.

Conclusion. The built text corpus can be used to train and test neural networks for sentiment analysis of Ukrainian-language texts.

Authors:   International Research and Training Center for Information Technologies and Systems of the NAS and MES of Ukraine, Mrozek Yevhen R.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The necessity for modern approaches to solving speech recognition tasks arises from the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the need to improve the accuracy and speed of human-computer interaction in various areas, such as voice assistants, translation, and automation. This direction is becoming increasingly relevant due to the growing volume of generated audio data and the need for real-time processing, particularly in Ukrainian contexts where multiple languages and dialects coexist. Currently, several approaches to speech recognition, analysis, and transcription exist, including methods based on neural networks, speaker diarization techniques, noise removal, and data structuring. However, the challenge of creating a universal solution that meets the needs of multilingual environments and effectively handles unstructured audio data remains relevant.

Purpose. To review existing tools and algorithms for solving speech recognition tasks, particularly for Ukranian.

Methods. Speech recognition, deep learning, transformers.

Results. Theoretical foundations of approaches and models for speech recognition were considered for building a knowledge base for a multilingual spoken dialogue system. Effective examples of improving transcription accuracy for languages with limited data were also explored, along with potential steps to enhance system speed. Potential datasets for model training were discussed.

Conclusion. A structured review of modern methods for processing and analyzing multilingual audio files was provided, outlining their advantages, disadvantages, and unresolved issues.

Introduction. Object recognition on aerial images is an urgent task in modern conditions, especially in cases requiring accurate and fast car recognition. Traditional contour extraction methods, such as Canny, Sobel, Laplacian, Prewitt, and Scharr, are based on gradient analysis and are known for their ease of implementation. This is an essential step for further recognition, as the correct definition of contours contributes to more accurate object identification. However, the effectiveness of the above methods could be improved, especially in complex environments with high object density, uneven brightness, and noise. Neural network models, such as YOLO (You Only Look Once), offer new possibilities, providing more accurate and reliable recognition, even in difficult situations.

Purpose. This study compares the effectiveness of classical contour extraction methods and the YOLOv6n neural network model for vehicle recognition in aerial images. The accuracy of vehicle detection is evaluated by the main metrics: Precision, Recall, and F1-measure, which allow the determination of each method’s efficiency level in specific conditions.

Methods. The study includes testing the classical Canny, Sobel, Laplacian, Prewitt, and Scharr algorithms for car outline detection and analyzing the results of the YOLOv6n model for deep-learning object detection. Classical methods use image processing to identify contours based on pixel gradients, which allows for extracting structures in an image. The YOLOv6n model is based on a neural network approach, considering complex image features for more accurate and faster object detection.

Results. The data analysis showed that classical methods, although they can detect contours, have limited accuracy in conditions of high object density and sharp changes in brightness. The accuracy (Precision) and F1 Score for traditional methods was low, indicating a significant number of false positives and false negatives. In particular, the Sobel and Scharr methods showed the highest Recall but significantly decreased accuracy. In contrast, the YOLOv6n neural network model demonstrated high results in all primary metrics: Precision – 97.9%, Recall – 94.8%, F1 Score – 96.32%, and maP – 97.6%, which confirms its advantages in providing accurate and reliable vehicle recognition in aerial images.

Conclusions. The study has shown that traditional contour extraction methods can serve as auxiliary tools for image preprocessing. Still, they need to provide adequate accuracy for the final stages of vehicle recognition. Neural network approaches, such as YOLOv6n, significantly outperform classical methods by providing high detection speed and accuracy, making them recommended for use in high-precision object recognition tasks in aerial images.
Algebraic Modelling of Experiments on the Example of Proton Therapy
Authors:   V.M.Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics of the NAS of Ukraine, Tarasich Yuliia H.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Despite the rapid development of the chemical industry and science, discoveries in the field of health care, the emergence of drugs and therapeutics based on nanotechnology and the development of radiation therapy technologies, the safety of biomedical applications of the latest products, and the search for new methods and approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer are an open issue. One of the safest and fastest methods for researching the behaviour of new materials and tools and selecting the best candidates is the modelling of relevant processes, particularly computer molecular modelling based on mathematical models. However, despite a large number of available methods and modelling tools, for most of them, the successful application is possible only for a narrow range of tasks and experiments.

As one of the possible solutions to this problem, we propose a new approach to computer molecular modelling based on the synergy of the algebraic approach, namely, algebraic modelling and biological knowledge at different levels of abstraction, starting from quantum interactions to interactions of biological systems.

We see one of the directions of application of this approach in the possibilities of modelling the radiation therapy process – starting from modelling the accelerators’ work and ending with modelling the interaction of the particles’ beam with the matter at the level of quantum interactions. In particular, in the article, we consider the possibilities of forward (specific and symbolic) and backward (symbolic) algebraic modelling on the example of models of the higher level of abstraction, which allows us to visualize certain interactions and to build charts of dependencies for specific models, and to determine the presence of the desired scenarios (forward modelling) or a set of initial environment parameters (backward modelling) in symbolic form.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo aborda a proposta do Ensino Híbrido como uma política de padronização curricular neoliberal. Analisa-se como os currículos vêm sendo instituídos a partir da política curricular do Ensino Híbrido, desde o contexto pandêmico e pós-pandêmico. Para tanto, esta pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa do tipo exploratória, envolve um estudo teórico e um levantamento documental sobre o Ensino Híbrido, em documentos elaborados pelo CNE. Parte-se do entendimento de que políticas padronizadas e centralizadoras, construídas a partir de parcerias com atores sociais não-estatais estão alinhadas às políticas avaliativas que inibem a constituição da escola democrática pelas suas formas de controle e regulação das práticas docentes, desde conhecimentos, metodologias até às avaliações em uma reorganização pedagógica neotecnicista. Nota-se a influência da agenda educacional global de padronização curricular no avanço do Ensino Híbrido em uma perspectiva de flexibilização curricular neoliberal, trazendo repercussões dessa lógica nos currículos brasileiros.
Addressee as a Factor in Document Type Adaptation
Authors: Kosova Marina , Sheptukhin Mikhail
Published: December 2024

The study is devoted to the effectiveness of business communication, provided by a number of intralinguistic and extralinguistic factors. The adaptation process is considered as the creation of a primary document, or a subtype within one type, taking into account the conditions of business communication, and primarily the characteristics of the addressees: their social and legal status; heterogeneity (scope, mass character) or belonging to a certain social group; absence or presence of shared competences; the nature of the information contained in the document and the way it is expressed. The adaptation process is shown to affect the document form, the compositional, substantive and speech organization of its text. Based on the material of two subtypes of the instruction, viewed as an organizational and legal document, which regulates various business processes, the parameters of the document that explicate its adaptation to the characteristics of the addressee are identified and described: the form as a specific implementation of the general document model; the compositional and meaningful structure of the text; speech organization, in particular the use of terminology, modality and speech tonality as a way of formatting the contents. The results obtained complement the available information about the documentary text as an object of linguistics, about the types of adapted texts, and their communicative capabilities.
Gender Stereotypes in Explanatory and Translation Dictionaries of the Russian Language in the Aspect of Categories of Social Exclusion, Inclusion
Authors: Milovanova Marina
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of gender stereotypes objectification in the Russian language of various chronological periods, which occurs within the categories of social exclusion and social inclusion and is exemplified by the concepts "man" and "woman". The study was carried out based on lexicographic sources. The corresponding lexemes: man, woman and the units that identify the attribute of the designated concept: male, female are considered as key representatives of these concepts. Regarding the period of the 11th – 17th centuries, the lexemes husband, wife are also considered. As a result of a definitional analysis of key lexemes denoting these concepts, changes within the "man – woman" opposition are identified, namely its specification and addition of new features. It has been established that in the period of the 11th – 14 th centuries, the concept "woman" used to reveal the ambivalence within the framework of reflecting gender stereotyping. Up to the 19th century, this concept objectified the category of social exclusion, while in illustrating contexts a shift in the axiological parameter was revealed: from negative characteristics to the positive ones. The concept "man" consistently demonstrates the representation of positive characteristics and objectifies the category of social inclusion. It has been determined that in the materials of dictionaries of the modern Russian language, the most significant markers of the "man – woman" opposition are not social differences, but the natural ones. The conclusion is made about the peculiarities of gender stereotyping processes in the semantics of the lexemes man and woman, which can be socially- and nature-oriented.
Discourse of Cancel Culture in Anglo-Saxon Academia
Authors: Astafurova Tatiana , Palashevskaya Irina
Published: December 2024

The article analyses linguo-pragmatic characteristics of cancel discourse, which reflects and develops cancel culture, considered to be public disapproval and rejection of a social subject who has committed an offensive and unacceptable act, causing intolerance and wide discussion in digital, network and real public space. Cancel culture in different spheres of social life, including academic area, is considered from various perspectives. Linguistic means of cancelling (deplatforming, blacklisting, trolling, cyber-bullying, boycott, ostracism, etc.) in on-line and off-line cancel discourse, its communicative situations and topics, discursive practices and strategies, intentions and outcomes of participants’ interaction are studied. The topics causing the most severe cancelling in the academia environment (racial, gender, religious, social discrimination, etc.) are identified. Different types of administrators’ responses to faculty and student cancelling practices are revealed. It is argued that emphasizing offensive facts and rhetoric in the name on social justice, political correctness, and tolerance has become the new norm of Western university discourse, generating restrictions of ideas and speech freedom, which have traditionally been values developed in academia in young people. The study indicates that the discourse of cancellation unfolds around the accusatory ascriptive, which is accompanied by ridiculing/mocking the opponent, belittling their status, discrediting and defaming them, attributing to them infernal characteristics, silencing or canceling their presence in the information space.

Published: December 2024

Artikeln ”’Vi snakker bare litt om porno’. Multimodal och platsorienterad analys av rumsligt gestaltade affekter i Sesam Sesam av Gro Dahle och Kaia Dahle Nyhus” av Christoffer Dahl och Anna Smedberg Bondesson undersöker en bilderbok som skildrar pojken Al som blir upptäckt av sin mamma när han tittar på pornografi på nätet och deras samtal efteråt. Ämnet är känsloladdat och författarnas syfte är att analysera och diskutera hur såväl affekterna som den känsla av trygghet och gemenskap som möjliggör att samma affekter kan reglereras gestaltas i Sesam Sesam (2017). Analysen grundar sig på sociosemiotik (Kress & van Leeuwen 2006) samt platsteori (Bachtin, 1991; Foucault, 2008) och ger vid handen hur olika affekter i Tomkins (1995) definition, såsom glädje, nyfikenhet, förvåning, ilska, avsmak, sorg, rädsla och skam, tar sig både visuella och rumsliga uttryck. Den tar även upp de svårigheter och möjligheter som en diskussion om kontroversiella ämnen rymmer. En slutsats är att undersökningen ger en fingervisning om att en känslomässigt utmanande bilderbok, en challenging picturebook, som Sesam Sesam både till form och innehåll rymmer en komplexitet och kreativitet som lärare och elever kan utforska tillsammans i klassrummet.

Authors: Zhao Feiyang , Yuan Yiping , Chen Caifeng , Xiao Lu
Published: December 2024

The electromechanical equipment in open-pit coal mines is influenced by perturbing factors such as load, ambient temperature, and frequent startups and shutdowns, which result in low accuracy and poor generalization performance of the prediction model for its operating state. This paper considers both long-term temperature fluctuations and episodic changes caused by these perturbing factors. Additionally, multidimensional time and spatial data are integrated to propose a temperature prediction model for mining electromechanical equipment based on wavelet packet decomposition and a graph attention network (WPD-GAT). The temperature data of electromechanical equipment in an open pit coal mine in Xinjiang are used for experimental verification and comparison with four models. The experimental results show that the model proposed has an improvement in prediction performance, indicating the superiority of the model in the prediction of the temperature of electromechanical equipment of open-pit coal mines under complex working conditions.

This study investigated the sodium reduction through non-homogeneous salt distribution in 3D-printed cookies, focusing on consumer perception and product characteristics. Three formulations were developed: a control (C) and two reduced-sodium samples with homogeneous (75H) and non-homogeneous (75NH) salt distribution, composed of oat flour, corn starch, xanthan gum, extra virgin olive oil, water, and salt. Physicochemical analyses revealed differences in moisture content and water activity, with higher salt reducing these values. No significant differences were found in ash content or color parameters. Texture analysis indicated that reduced-sodium samples had higher firmness, though fracturability did not correlate with consumer acceptance. Sensory analysis with 27 trained tasters showed no significant differences in perceived saltiness between the reduced-sodium samples and the control, attributed to uniform salt perception during chewing and possible redistribution during baking. The findings suggest that 3D printing non-homogeneous salt distribution does not significantly affect perceived saltiness, although texture remains crucial for consumer acceptance. Future research should investigate greater sodium reductions, assess salt distribution pre- and post-baking, and include sensory evaluations with untrained tasters to better understand consumer acceptance.

Published: December 2024

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer overall, the most common cancer in women, and a leading cause of death in women. The incidence of brain metastases has increased due to longer patient survival. Thus, chemotherapy for breast cancer has significantly increased promising a positive outcome. However, long-term and repeated chemotherapy leads to involvement of the peripheral nervous system by creating clinical issues dominated by peripheral neuropathy and cognitive changes.
This literature review assesses the negative neurological effects of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
The review discusses neuropathic pain mechanisms, primarily neuroimmune and inflammatory changes, ion-channel remodeling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and genetic predisposition. The review gives advice on the prevention of peripheral neuropathy and neuropathic pain in breast cancer patients. It shows the relationship of chemotherapy and deteriorated quality of life, where special attention should be paid to early detection and treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral polyneuropathy to improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients.
With advances in pharmacology, the introduction of targeted therapy and its combinations, especially those involving epidermal growth factor receptor 2, the survival potential of breast cancer patients increases, but there are risks of more frequent neurological complications, primarily peripheral neuropathy and cognitive changes.

Authors: Sidorov Alexey A. , Soldatkin Victor A. , Kibitov Alexander O.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Since publications on the differences of gaming addiction (GA) cohorts are scarce and primarily discuss the factors of only one type (gambling or gaming), it appears relevant to study personal, psychological, morphofunctional, genetic and other traits of patients by comparing different GA types to develop targeted prevention programs. A thorough approach to studying the specific traits of patients with the developed GA or at risk of GA contributes to the development of effective social and psychological, and psychological and educational preventive programs, and improvement of psychotherapeutic approaches to such patients.
AIM: This study develops an algorithm for differentiated assessment of the Internet addiction disorder risk.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study of clinical psychopathology, clinical dynamics, psychology, psychometrics, and risk factors of Internet addiction disorder included an open study of 69 gaming addiction (GA) patients, including 39 Pure GA patients and 30 Gambling GA patients. The control group (CG) consisted of 40 healthy volunteers. Basic study included clinical, psychological and psychometric techniques, and the genetic method as an additional tool. Statistics were processed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Student’s t-test, Welch’s t-test, and Mann–Whitney U-test.
RESULTS: For the first time, two key gaming addiction (GA) types (Pure GA and Gambling GA) were compared by analyzing the personality traits, morphofunctional and gender attributes of GA patients. The identified traits and attributes were considered in terms of the addiction risk (both in general and differentially) in relation to various Internet addiction types. The data analysis allowed to develop mathematical models to assess the Internet addiction risk in general and its specific types, identify risk groups and refine preventive actions.
CONCLUSION: The algorithm for differentiated assessment of the Internet addiction disorder risk was developed.
Clinical and epidemiological trends of primary disability of children due to mental disorders in the Republic of Tatarstan (2021–2023)
Authors: Gazizullin Timur R. , Mendelevich Vladimir D.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Mental disorders are one of the leading causes of primary disability in children, a concern for both public healthcare and clinical psychiatry. The issue is further complicated by the lack of objective diagnostic measures of mental disorders, regional differences in the interpretation of diagnostic criteria, and significant social influences.
AIM: The aim of the study was to identify the main clinical and epidemiological characteristics of childhood primary disability due to mental disorders in the Republic of Tatarstan in 2021–2023.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The main statistical data provided by the Information and Analytical Center of the Ministry of Health and the Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise of the Ministry of Social Protection of the Republic of Tatarstan were used as study materials, including relative primary and overall incidence and primary disability due to mental disorders in children under the age of 18. The main correlation trends were described. Statistical significance was determined using the nonparametric t-test, and the correlation coefficient (r) was calculated using the Pearson correlation coefficient.
RESULTS: A positive trend in primary mental disability in children is reported. The most common cause was organic non-psychotic mental disorders (F06 — Other mental disorders due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease) at a rate of 4.02 per 100,000 of the relevant population. A significant decline in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) cases contributing to primary disability was observed between 2022 and 2023. This was associated with in-depth diagnosis as part of a comprehensive ASD care project (3.04 and 1.28 per 100,000 of the relevant population in 2022 and 2023, respectively, marking a 58% decrease).
CONCLUSION: Major trends in causes of primary disability in children include an increase in the incidence of organic nonpsychotic disorders and a decrease in the incidence of autism spectrum disorders. The incidence of schizophrenia and mental retardation as causes was unchanged.

Authors: Akhmetgaleeva Nailya F. , Lyutov Oscar V. , Bakhtiyarova Klara Z.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) primarily starts in the young and may develop in children. The ratio of girls to boys younger than 10–12 is 1:1, and after puberty is 3:1. During puberty, monosymptomatic exacerbations and remitting MS are more common. An increased prevalence in pediatric patients is observed.
AIM: The paper assesses clinical and epidemiological attributes of pediatric-onset MS in the Republic of Bashkortostan.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical and epidemiological attributes of pediatric MS patients were compared with typical-onset patients. Statistics were analyzed using Statistica 22.0.
RESULTS: In the Republic of Bashkortostan, 113 cases of pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (MS) have been recorded, which is 4.2% of the total MS cases. The prevalence of pediatric MS is 2.5 cases, the incidence is 1.3 per 100,000 children. The population is predominantly urban. Prior to MS onset, all patients had suffered from acute respiratory viral infections, and the majority (94.2%) had suffered from chickenpox. Females predominate with the ratio of 2.6:1. The average progression rate of neurologic deficit is 0.2 points per year (0.1; 1.3). In cases with the onset after 18, the rate is 0.3 points per year (0.3; 2.4); p=0.761. All pediatric patients have a relapsing-remitting MS. No significant differences were found in the clinical manifestations of pediatric- and adult-onset MS ( p0.05).
CONCLUSION: It is required to expand clinical and epidemiological studies of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the pediatric population to ensure better diagnosis and early administration of the relevant pathogenetic therapy.
Identity diffusion as a psychological and psychopathological phenomenon. A non-binary religious person case
Authors: Mendelevich Vladimir D. , Katok Alena A. , Mitrofanov Ivan А.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the problem of psychological and psychiatric affiliation of identity diffusion as illustrated by the clinical case of 17-year-old Samiha, a girl with an Arabic name who decided to change it to the Korean unisex name Ha-neul. The patient considered herself to be a non-binary person, but sought help at a psychiatric care facility due to suicidal thoughts/tendencies and self-harming behavior rather than gender dysphoria. The article presents a differential diagnosis between the identity diffusion included in the diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder, and autopsychic and somatopsychic depersonalization. It is concluded that identity diffusion may be both a psychological phenomenon and a psychopathological symptom. This requires a deeper understanding and inclusion of the new symptom in the psychospathology catalogue. The article suggests that it is important for modern psychopathology theory to keep track of social postmodernist changes as they led to emergence of a new subdiscipline, Neo-Psychopathology, in psychiatry.

Çalışmanın katılımcıları farklı başarı seviyelerine sahip altı yedinci sınıf öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Video ve ses kayıtları, yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ve öğrencilerin problem çözümlerini gerçekleştirdikleri yazılı dokümanlar araştırmanın veri toplama araçlarını oluşturmuştur. Görüşmelerde öğrencilere “Orantı ve Doğru Orantı Bilgisini Oluşturma Sürecini İnceleme Formu” uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler RBC+C modeli çerçevesinde yorumlanarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda; orantı kavramını oluşturma sürecinde yüksek ve orta başarı seviyesindeki öğrencilerin, düşük başarı seviyesindeki öğrencilere göre tanıma, kullanma, oluşturma ve pekiştirme eylemlerini daha kolay gerçekleştirdikleri görülmüştür. Bu durumda öğrencilerin orantı kavramı ile ilişkili var olan bilgilerini doğru bir şekilde oluşturmuş olması etkili olmuştur. Bunun yanı sıra orta başarı seviyesindeki öğrencilerin oluşturdukları bilgileri farklı problem durumlarında tanıyıp kullanmada zorlandıkları, düşük başarı seviyesindeki öğrencilerin ise problemleri çözerken çarpımsal düşünmek yerine toplamsal düşündükleri belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin karşılaştıkları zorlukların üstesinden gelebilmek için grup arkadaşları ile fikir alışverişinde bulundukları ve birbirlerinin hatalarını düzelttikleri gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda akran etkileşimlerinin öğrencilerin yeni kavramlara ulaşmasında etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Gelecek çalışmalarda başarı düzeyleri farklı olan daha kalabalık gruplarla, farklı konular ve etkinlikleri içeren çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
Semantic and Neural Representations of Emotion Concepts
Authors:   , Kelly Alexandra , Chrysikou Evangelia G.
Published: December 2024

Along with the ability to experience and perceive emotion in others, humans also have some long-term representation of knowledge about emotions such as anger, sadness, and fear. Within the field of semantic memory, there remain significant open questions about how long-term knowledge more broadly is represented. One prominent point of contention is whether sensorimotor modalities are critical for accessing and understanding conceptual knowledge. Within the affective sciences, an influential class of theories have been proposed to account for available evidence about how the brain constructs the experience of an emotional state. Importantly, these constructionist models emphasize the role of conceptual knowledge and the sensory modality of interoception in this process. Leveraging the predictions made by these models, the four studies presented in this dissertation describe the structure and organization of conceptual knowledge for emotions and test how interoception contributes to the access and understanding of these concepts, their organization in long-term memory, and their neural representations. The results contribute to our understanding of the role of interoceptive processing in shaping the conceptual space of emotions, as well as modality-specificity and grounding of conceptual knowledge more broadly.
A place of one’s own
Authors:   , Eom Kelly , Goldstein Naomi
Published: December 2024

Individuals with criminal records often face significant housing difficulties, which has been linked to elevated stress levels. However, few studies have examined how living in one's own place and housing satisfaction might serve as more nuanced housing-related factors than typically examined indicators (e.g., housed or unhoused) and whether these factors relate to stress among individuals with a criminal record. Further, it is unclear whether social support--generally perceived as a buffer against stress--will modify the relationship between these housing factors and reported stress. This study used data from 507 individuals with criminal records to investigate whether support from family or friends would moderate the relationships between perceived stress and living in one's own place or housing satisfaction. To explore these relationships, I conducted linear regression analyses, controlling for age, gender, and race. As hypothesized, both living in one's own place and greater housing satisfaction were significantly associated with lower perceived stress. However, support from neither family nor friends significantly moderated these relationships, suggesting that social support may not be sufficient to overcome stress linked to housing challenges. These findings highlight the need for interventions that focus on improving housing stability through enhanced housing quality, affordability, and alignment with personal preferences.
Research on Learning Motivations of Freshmen and Sophomores: From Students’ Perspective
Authors: Liu Hengshuo , Hu Yanyan
Published: December 2024

It is crucial for freshmen and sophomores to form their learning motivations to meet their academic and social needs in the early stage of higher education. This paper aims to discuss their learning motivations from students’ perspectives. Results of data analysis indicate that most of the freshmen and sophomores, directly driven by their academic achievement and social-emotion well-being, have positive learning motivations. They are confused to form their own effective learning methods because of their sense of “distance” with teacher and higher scores unmatched their abilities. Qualitative research revealed that it makes students unable to determine their learning purpose accurately and consequently turn to blindly following the learning motivations of their roommates or classmates. The objective feedback of these new findings in this research to teachers could help them take more effective measures to optimize teaching. The reasonable guidance of experienced teachers plays a key role in fostering positive learning motivation.
Reconsidering the Potential of Commitment Phenomenon through a Critical Review of Three-Component Model: Interaction of Behavior, Attitude, and Conditions
Authors: Suyama Yuji , Shirasaka Seiko
Published: December 2024

In commitment research in the management field, the Three-Component Model (TCM) regarding workplace commitment influences so much research. In this study, by conducting a comparative analysis between TCM-1991, TCM-2001, and the concepts of attitudinal commitment and behavioral commitment, we evaluate whether TCM-1991 and TCM-2001 truly integrated attitudinal commitment and behavioral commitment. We clarified that TCM-1991 incorporated behavioral commitment in a very limited manner, it did not carry over in TCM-2001, and TCM-2001 did not sufficiently incorporate behavioral commitment. We also showed one aspect of the commitment phenomenon: the interaction of behaviors, attitudes, and conditions, and provided a new perspective for future research. This paper presents the potential of commitment research and provides suggestions regarding methodologies for commitment research.

A MULHER E O MERCADO DE TRABALHO: uma discussão sobre a (re)inserção após a licença-maternidade
Authors: Aldrighi Izanara Ayres Coelho , Lemes Rithiely Souza , Molon da Silva Francielle
Published: December 2024

Atualmente, as mulheres, devido às responsabilidades que lhes são atribuídas pela sociedade, acabam tendo que conciliar a vida doméstica e o cuidado dos filhos com a vida profissional, a chamada “dupla jornada de trabalho”. Na intenção de contribuir com essa discussão, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as vivências das profissionais após a licença-maternidade. Para tanto, foi utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório, e os dados da pesquisa foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas de forma totalmente remota, pelo método “Bola de Neve”, com mulheres que tiveram experiências em relação à maternidade e o mercado de trabalho. Dentre os resultados, verificou-se, de forma geral, que as mulheres e mães, por mais que demonstrem estarem realizadas com a sensação única e especial da maternidade, por outro lado, se sentem prejudicadas e desvalorizadas na esfera profissional, pelo fato de os direitos e deveres de pais e mães não serem iguais. Pretende-se, então, com a realização do presente artigo, ampliar a discussão sobre a questão social da mulher e do homem, suas responsabilidades e direitos, e assim, contribuir para estudos futuros sobre o tema.

Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste estudo é fazer um levantamento do estado da arte dos instrumentos que têm sido utilizados para estudar a satisfação no atendimento dos usuários do serviço público de saúde brasileiro. Para alcançar este objetivo foi realizada uma revisão sistemática integrativa da literatura. A pesquisa foi feita nas bases: SciELO, Scopus e Bireme, tendo no início 166 documentos, os quais após processo de seleção, obteve-se portfolio final de 18 artigos. Os textos foram categorizados por temas, sendo possível averiguar que os ambientes que ocorrem mais pesquisa de satisfação são nas Unidades de Atenção Primária, na Atenção Básica e Ambientes Hospitalares. Os instrumentos variaram desde questionários próprios sem validação, até questionários validados internacionalmente quanto nacionalmente. Por fim constatou-se que a satisfação do usuário no atendimento possui multidimensões, e que mesmo quando é difícil aferi-la, ela pode contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade dos serviços prestados.
SERVIÇO MILITAR E EXÉRCITO BRASILEIRO: ANÁLISE DA INFLUÊNCIA NO PROCESSO DE APRENDIZAGEM E DESENVOLVIMENTO COGNITIVO
Authors: Pereira Matheus Grigoletto , Guterres Everton Luis de Lima
Published: December 2024

A cultura de uma organização é formada a partir de dinâmicas cotidianas e sutis, que por sua vez aprova, repreende, recompensa ou adverte comportamentos, formando um sistema de significados que mobilizam os membros da organização a direcionarem suas ações (SARAIVA, 2002). Deste modo, com esta pesquisa, busca-se observar a influência do convívio militar para o desenvolvimento cognitivo e no processo de aprendizagem de jovens que vivenciaram rotinas militares por determinado período de tempo, em diversas cidades do Brasil. O estudo se caracteriza como uma pesquisa aplicada, descritiva e quantitativa, por meio de um questionário próprio, tendo como amostra 400 indivíduos do sexo masculino que tiveram a experiência de passar por unidades militares. Os resultados estão relacionados com a observância dos entrevistados sobre questões como: a relação do serviço militar com a formação do caráter atual, a observância de aprendizagem prática e crescimento individual.
Análise sobre a motivação de produtores rurais para o exercício da atividade agrícola na Região Central do Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Brondani Larissa Buligon , Mello Mario Fernando
Published: December 2024

Hoje a atividade agrícola no Brasil é um dos pilares da economia, sendo que grande parte da responsabilidade se atribui à cultura da soja, que passa por grandes desenvolvimentos ao longo dos anos, em favor do crescimento e fortalecimento da economia brasileira, além da geração de renda e sustento para diversas famílias. No Rio Grande do Sul, encontram-se desde pequenos, médios a grandes agricultores, e nem todos possuem o conhecimento necessário para entender como podem ganhar mais vantagem competitiva com seu produto. Por essa razão, os objetivos deste estudo são: identificar e analisar quais são os aspectos que motivam os produtores e se eles possuem controle sobre todos os custos que envolvem uma safra, mostrando as vantagens que se tem ao mensurar os custos e, dessa forma, possuir as informações necessárias para as tomadas de decisão. O estudo foi realizado por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e de um questionário aplicado com agricultores da Quarta Colônia, região central do Rio Grande do Sul. Como principais resultados, ficou evidenciado que o amor pela atividade agrícola, a realização profissional e a busca de lucro com a atividade, são fatores relevantes para a permanência no campo.
