Authors: Tanelab Gracia Ariella Jenice
Published: October 2024

Ethics is a complex theory along with the growing community associations. Many new professions are created as the consequences of the efforts to fulfill society needs from time to time, and also influenced by the changes of social-economy environment. Because the needs to divide the work loads to the expert team in every different fields, professions become more consolidated and play crucial roles in building society welfares. The well-being of every profession are depend on the service quality provided, as well as society trust. Admiration and trust are the main keys for every profession to serve society. The accountant community in some countries have designed ethical profession to protect public and require accountant to oblige to the policies. This regulation aims to solve ethical problems in the near future.

Proyecto ColorTEA México. Acción social informada para la inclusión del TEA, para padres de familia, cuidadores y asistentes a la organización Apapache Autismo en Alcaldía Venustiano Carranza
Authors:   , Romero Ramírez Aura Xiadani
Published: October 2024

A lo largo de la historia de la humanidad se encuentra la exclusión de individuos y comunidades debido a diferentes motivos: color de piel, ideología, orientación sexual, género, poder adquisitivo, discapacidades físicas y mentales. Sin embargo, así como se ha tratado de subyugar a quienes son considerados diferentes, han germinado movimientos de personas que lucharon y lo seguirán haciendo por la igualdad de derechos y oportunidades para todos. Es bajo esta premisa, que este proyecto busca ser parte de quienes luchan y velan por estar más cerca de una sociedad preocupada por incluir y reconocer a todos los seres vivos, partiendo de la idea de que todos somos tan diferentes como iguales y es algo que debe ser respetado, representado y comprendido. ColorTEA México es un proyecto que busca abordar al Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA), condición que hasta hoy día sigue siendo desconocida por muchas personas, provocando que dicha comunidad sea excluida, estereotipada y rechazada y que, como principal objetivo tiene el reconocer e integrar a las personas pertenecientes al TEA, para su desarrollo adecuado dentro de la sociedad. A través de una propuesta integral gráfica que contiene el diseño de un cuento ilustrado en el que se describe la rutina, y comportamientos sutiles de un niño perteneciente al TEA, una producción audiovisual donde cuidadores de personas pertenecientes al TEA, aportan con información valiosa y real sobre el proceso de descubrimiento y diagnóstico formal así como con la complementación de difusión en redes sociales, se busca describir los comportamientos de las personas autistas para que puedan ser detectadas en edad temprana, así como unir a la información con la población, para fomentar la inclusión de las comunidades neurodivergentes.

The article addresses the issue of educational development policy in Ukraine: the main trends and ways, means, technologies of their implementation. It has been observed that educational policy is developing and changing under the influence of such factors as Russia’s military actions against our country, European integration and globalisation. It has been taken into account that globalisation trends in the world integration, according to which globalisation processes should be reflected not only in the foreign economic, political or technological spheres, but also, as a consequence, in the development of technologies for training future teachers. Integration of digital technologies in the educational process is one of the key tendencies in the modern educational policy in Ukraine. The characteristics of the most used technologies of augmented reality in the modern school of Ukraine have been outlined. The algorithm for displaying generalized information about a particular application was proposed, namely: payment, accessibility, language, system requirements; learning opportunities; practical value; website; video about the application. The model of the formation of future teachers’ skills to use augmented reality technologies in the process of natural sciences studying has been proposed. We consider it as a component of a holistic system of future teachers’ professional training. The conceptual basis for the development of the model is a multi-subject educational paradigm, which is considered to be open, self-developing and self-organizing, causing a fundamental change in the behavior and relationships of the educational process participants. The proposed model is implemented in the authors’ methodological system, which ensures the interconnected activities of all participants in the educational process. Its systemic factor is the goal of improving the quality of the future natural sciences teachers’ professional training by developing their skills in using AR technology. The end result is an increase in the level of future natural sciences teachers’ readiness to use AR technology in their professional activities.

The Impact of a New Container Port on the Greenhouse Gas Pollution
Authors: Bogataj David , Campuzano-Bolarin Francisco , Nicolás José Andrés Moreno
Published: October 2024

Background

Large vessels that call at European ports will have to pay for their CO2 emissions from transporting cargo that enters or goes from a European port since January 2024. The costs will increase with increasing global trade. This results in a higher pollution level, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions like CO2.

Methods/ Approach

Based on the gravity model embedded in a global supply chain, we developed a model to evaluate maritime transport pollution in case a new, sufficiently large container port becomes operational. Additionally, we consider how lousy railway connections to European customers increase transportation costs and pollution.

Results

The approach to the well-connected sequences of gravity models in the intercontinental maritime chains evaluates the differences in quantities of cargo between ports when a new port is opened, and the waiting time does not change. We also highlight that poor rail connections can reduce this positive effect.

Conclusions

We showed how it is possible to estimate the optimal capacity of a new port with a multi-level gravity model and how this would affect the pollution around the port and on the routes from the port to the final consumers.
Selection Procedure of the Approximation Methods for Deriving Priorities: A Case of Inconsistent Pairwise Comparisons
Authors: Čančer Vesna
Published: October 2024

Background

When pairwise comparisons are used to express preferences for alternatives or judgments on criteria's importance, several methods can be used to derive priorities in multi-criteria decision-making. In the case of inconsistency, different methods give different results.

Objectives

The main goal of this paper is to present the procedure of measuring the accuracy of the selected approximation methods based on pairwise comparisons compared to the priorities obtained by the eigenvalue method. It also aims to illustrate the procedure on the numerical example characterised by acceptable inconsistency.

Methods/Approach

The presented procedure is based on a prescriptive approach, the fixed ratio scale, reciprocal pairwise comparison matrices, and consistency ratio. Mean absolute deviation and mean absolute percentage deviation are used to measure accuracy.

Results

The first result is the theoretical statement of the priorities’ accuracy measurement procedure. The results of the numerical example characterised by the preferences of strength slight to strong plus show that, on average, the most accurate approximation method is the geometric mean method.

Conclusions

The research contributes to the literature on prescriptive approaches to decision-making. The results can show potential users which approximation method to use and lecturers which of them to include in the curriculum portfolio.
Strategic Categorization of Dairy Cow Farms in Croatia using Cluster Analysis
Authors: Petrač Maja , Zmaić Krunoslav , Žgajnar Jaka
Published: October 2024

Background

The milk processing sector in the Republic of Croatia faces numerous challenges. It is a distinctly bipolar structure, with some entities resembling the largest milk producers in the EU, while many small and medium-sized dairy farms struggle to remain competitive and achieve further progress. To formulate effective policy, it is important to differentiate between these types and address their key challenges.

Objectives

The aim is to find the most representative solution that will help us define typical dairy farms and upgrade a SiTFarm tool (Slovenian Typical Farm Model), enabling us to assess the situation in Croatia comprehensively.

Methods/Approach

Cluster analysis was conducted using empirical data obtained from the Croatian Agency for Agriculture and Food. The analysis involved applying both hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering techniques.

Results

Two cluster analysis scenarios are presented, differing in the variables used. In each scenario, 16 relatively homogeneous clusters of farms were obtained. Diversity was minimized within these clusters, and they effectively explain the dairy business in Croatia.

Conclusions

The results of this analysis thus represent an important starting point for further analysis of the dairy sector in Croatia. These findings could help policymakers identify the types of farms that would benefit most from targeted investments to enhance efficiency, economic viability, and environmental sustainability.

Published: October 2024

In recent years, the demand for innovative, sustainable, and efficient food packaging solutions has surged in response to growing concerns about environmental impact, food safety, and quality preservation. A sericin-based polymer composite film with multifunctional properties shows promise as an alternative for enhancing food packaging. In this study, sericin-based composite films were prepared by incorporating Aloe vera gel, chitosan, and glycerol into a sericin solution (1.5 % w/v) through facile homogenisation at 70 °C, followed by casting and subsequent drying on a glass platform. The resulting dried film exhibited uniformity, a smooth texture, and successful integration of the composite components. The film demonstrated a moisture content of 21.02 % and a porosity of 3.56 %, with a thickness of (62.1 ± 2.3) µm. It exhibited moderate transparency with reasonable water vapour permeability. Notably, the DPPH scavenging results indicated that the film has a potent antioxidant capacity with an efficacy rate of 99.1 %, supported further by a phenolic content of 11.5 mg GAE per gram of film. Controlled solute migration of components from the composite films was observed, particularly under acidic conditions. Importantly, toxicity evaluation on A549 cells revealed no adverse effects, even at higher concentrations. Due to its consistent film-forming ability, antioxidant potency, controlled migration, and safe nature, the developed sericin polymer-based film could be an effective alternative for food packaging sensitive foods, maintaining oxidative stability, reducing moisture loss, improving quality, and extending shelf life.

Authors: Peixoto Luís , Kasaei Mehdi , Marques Eduardo , Carbas Ricardo , Da Silva Lucas F. M.
Published: October 2024

There is a growing need for joining processes capable of joining dissimilar materials, specifically lightweight materials. In this study, flat hole-clinching (FHC) is developed for joining polycarbonate and AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets. A ductile fracture criterion is calibrated using tensile tests and employed in the finite element analysis of the process to investigate the effect of geometric parameters on the joint characteristics and strength. A tool concept is also proposed for the FHC process. Results show that the FHC process enables to successfully connect these sheets without fracture. The flat hole-clinched joint resisted the maximum force of 0.9 kN in the pull-out test, and failed with bottom separation mode.

The article deals with the introduction into scientific discourse new data on the burial structures of the Dzhetyasar culture of Eastern Aral Sea region. In 2023, archaeological work was carried out on the necropolis of one of the Dzhetyasar monuments – the Kuraily-asar fortified settlement. The research was carried out by the “Aral Sea detachment” of the Margulan Institute of Archeology an under the leadership of A. Ongarruly and A.A. Tazhekeyev. The four underground burial sites were uncovered, as a result of the excavations. All the mounds have an identical design and burial rite. The mounds are surrounded by a moat with an entrance on the north and south sides, in the center of which there is a burial pit. Burials: three of them were women, and one was a child, were located on the dorsal surface and the head was oriented to the north. The anthropological characteristics of the burials show that the ontological constitution of post cranium is generally characterized by a morphological variant of the addition allocated to the Dzhetyasar population. The burial inventory included ceramic vessels and spindle whorl, buckles, a mirror and an amulet, the analysis of which allowed these mounds to be attributed to the Dzhetyasar II stage and dated to the II-IV centuries AD.

К вопросу о видах ограничений для публичных служащих Российской Федерации
Authors: Хабибулина Ольга Владимировна
Published: October 2024

The paper attempts to classify the restrictions stipulated for the public servants in the Russia Federation. The restrictions on the federal civil service, on military service, on other types of civil, on municipal service are analyzed. While the present legislation provides a ramified system of restrictions for public servants, the author offers various criteria to divide these restrictions into several groups. The research of restrictions for public servants in the context of their diversity enables to define the restrictions properties, their regular relationship with the specifics of some kinds of public service and demonstrates their important place in the legal status structure of the public servants together with its basic elements, like rights and duties. It should be noted that the restriction classification will contribute to a system approach for exploring imperative principles of the public service. The paper makes a conclusion about a predominantly administrative (public law) nature of both restrictions and legal status of the public servants in general and about an intrinsic unity of this status independently on the type of a public service.

Egypt's Post-Arab Spring Revolution Explanation for Democratisation Failure
Authors: Jamilah Maryam , Nanda Bima Jon
Published: October 2024

The Arab Spring phenomena fueled international confidence in the Middle East's democratization process. The democratic election of Muhammad Morsi (Muslim Brotherhood) as President of Egypt was one of the Arab Spring Revolution's most significant victories. However, on July 3, 2013, General Abdul Fattah Al-Sisi, the Head of Egypt's Armed Forces, conducted a coup to topple Morsi's rule. That action is incompatible with democratic principles. The failure of this democratization process is the primary subject of this research. The purpose of this article is to understand the contributing causes to Egypt's democratization failure following the Arab Spring movement of 201. The author explains the phenomena using a qualitative technique with Miles and Huberman's descriptive-analysis methodology, as well as three theories: Seymour Lipset's modernization theory, Huntington's political actor theory, and Philip C. Schmitter's international environment theory. This report discovered that three causes contributed to Egypt's democratization failure: a lack of economic conditions, a relationship between the MB (Muslim Brotherhood) and Salafis, a lack of international backing, and GCC state meddling.
Dystopian Futures and Posthuman Realities
Authors: Dhillon Bikrambir Singh , Sharma Diksha
Published: October 2024

Lauren Beukes’s Moxyland is a dystopian science fiction novel set in a near-future Cape Town, South Africa, which delves into the complex interplay between posthuman biopolitics, technology, authority, and the human body. This article examined the posthuman dimension through the lens of biopolitics. The article depicts the oppressive nature of pervasive surveillance and corporate control informed by the apartheid past, wherein four characters become entrapped in a society governed by these forces. Moreover, it demonstrates how the bodily integration of the regulatory technology derives from the racial idea of Western personhood, which intensifies the subjugation by altering subjects into posthuman entities. By adopting the Foucauldian theory of biopolitics as an analytical framework, this study traces the pivotal role played by biopolitics in the transformation of individuals into posthumans. The amalgamation of surveillance technologies and bioengineered enhancements leads to the commodification and perpetual manipulation of the subject, serving to uphold social order and preserve capitalist systems. The findings of this study shed light on the intensification of the control exerted by posthuman biopolitics, thereby contributing to the reconfiguration of the place of humans in academic discourse surrounding the intersection of power, technology, and the human body. By critically analysing the novel through the lens of Foucauldian theory, this article offers insights into the consequences of biopolitical control, underscoring the need for critical examination and discourse on the ethical implications of emergent posthuman societies in the Global South.
The Transformative Nature of Indigenous Knowledge Systems to Address Gender Inequality
Authors: Manthwa Aubrey
Published: October 2024

Women have played a significant role in the history of Africa and indigenous normative systems and continue to do so. However, today their roles are in some quarters undermined due to patriarchy. South Africa has been changing and transforming to be more inclusive of the important contributions of women in traditional leadership roles. Traditional leadership is the oldest form of governance in Africa; however, men have historically occupied the throne. In pre-colonial societies, traditional leadership was determined by gender-defined roles between men and women; however, it became a problem after colonialism, when the gender-defined roles became distorted and patriarchy dominated. This led to the exclusion of women from leadership positions and the situation persisted into the modern-day. This contribution argues that women can lead, as history has proven that they are great leaders, but decisions about their leadership and choices must be determined based on their own choices and the protection of their voices. Decisions as seen from judicial pronouncements in South Africa are made to protect the right to equality and dignity of women, but if not done properly, it has the effect of undermining the very rights that state institutions aim to protect. This article recommends consideration of women’s voices across South Africa, especially in rural areas. Society must hear how they feel about their role as traditional leaders and how succession to these positions will bring challenges, for example, what will happen if a woman leader marries a commoner.
The Transformation of Senkatana
Authors: Swanepoel Chris
Published: October 2024

The research question in this article is to trace how the legend of Senkatana was transformed first into a drama and then into a tragedy. The methodology that is applied is to compare the salient features of the legend, the drama, and then the tragedy. An overarching finding is that the playwright developed a number of transformational processes in order to transform the essence of the plot, the number and line-up of characters as well as the drama’s structure. A second overarching finding concerns the medium of delivery where an originally orally narrated legend is transformed into a drama text written for performance on a stage before an audience. The third finding applies to the transformation of the character of Senkatana. This happens on a transcendental level when the legendary hero and king dies and becomes a deity after death—an instance of transformation that leads to transfiguration. A concluding finding is that several contemporary contextual readings of Mofokeng’s classic are possible.
The Quest for Biodiversity Preservation and Conservation in Lesotho: The Basotho Folklore and Literary Contribution
Authors: Khanyetsi Mabohlokoa , Mensele Mary
Published: October 2024

Researchers have discovered that both oral and written literature have aesthetic, entertainment, cultural, political, and social values. Based on the literature read for this study, none has shown the importance of both oral and written literature as a strategy to preserve and conserve biodiversity. This study intends to find out how Sesotho oral and written literature can contribute to the conservation of biodiversity in Lesotho. This study is a desktop study and used secondary data. A qualitative approach was used in the data analysis. The functionalist approach is used to respond to the research questions. The researchers conclude that both oral and written forms of Sesotho literature are still relevant in the 21st century, and through strategies derived from it, contemporary challenges can be addressed. Therefore, this study recommends that scholars of both oral and written Sesotho literature should consider the beauty of nature and appreciation of biodiversity in this genre to retain the relevance of the literature and contribute towards conserving nature and biodiversity.
Indigenous Knowledge on the Management of Ungomwa among the Ndau of South-Eastern Zimbabwe
Authors: Muyambo Tenson
Published: October 2024

The article explores the indigenous Ndau people’s conceptualisation of ungomwa (infertility) and its management. More specifically, I investigated the Ndau beliefs and practices around ungomwa. I conducted a literature review, informal conversations and made observations for data collection. I delimited the study to causes of infertility among Ndau males, its detection, effects, and how it is managed within Ndau cosmology. The findings showed that, although beliefs on ungomwa were varied, it is an undesirable condition. It results in childlessness, which presents serious problems; victims suffer personal grief and frustration, social stigma, and ostracism. Using an indigenous knowledge perspective in a patriarchal Ndau community, I argue that men want to maintain their ego and masculine grandstanding in the community and usually blame women for the infertility. More important to note is that there are indigenous knowledge systems that can be employed to (mis)manage infertility if detected early at youth. If detected when a man is already in marriage, measures are put in place to ensure children are born in the family. I argue that ungomwa is a gendered, cultural, and psycho-social sexual reproductive health challenge that can be innovatively managed for human flourishing.

IsiXhosa folktales continue to embrace the didactic and pedagogical dimensions among young men and women through knowledge that is entrenched in senior citizens or the elderly. This does not exclude young men and women narrating the same isiXhosa folktales among themselves. In this article, the didactic and pedagogical value of an isiXhosa folktale is examined using intersectionality as a theoretical framework in light of recent and long-standing catastrophic phenomena such as HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 deaths that have left many children destitute, resulting in a string of orphans and child-headed families that are difficult to overlook. “UNomadlavana,” the folktale appearing in the appendix of this article, with its English translation, is purposively selected from a published repository and appreciated hereunder as a principal source of data to unravel the persecution and injustice experienced by an orphaned young girl called Nomadlavana. The sociological approach that merges elements of folklore studies, sociological analysis, and intersectionality, and is used as a methodology to uncover the perennial notion concerning stepmothers and orphans, is probed as an interconnected phenomenon, while illiberality and vanquishment of orphans are placed under the spotlight. Ultimately, illiberality and vanquishment are revealed as deeply rooted social problems affecting many unknown and known families, and suggest the need for awareness in a bid to abolish flawed stereotypes pertaining to orphans and stepparents.

Internationally, LGBTQIA+ people are at increased risk of homelessness and housing instability. Literature on this topic emerging from the Global South has been less prominent. This article explores LGBTQIA+ homelessness in Cape Town, South Africa. Cape Town is a unique local context, given the post-apartheid political landscape and prevalent negative attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ people in South Africa. Grounded in the ecological systems theory, this article explores staff perspectives about emergency shelter interventions  with the population of LGBTQIA+ people experiencing homelessness. An international team of scholars coordinated this research effort to interview staff at an LGBTQIA+ focused shelter in Cape Town. Interview data were analysed using narrative analysis strategies. Results show that the shelter seeks to provide a safe and structured environment for LGBTQIA+ people who may have experienced family rejection, educational or economic challenges and mental health concerns. Researchers recommend that there be a shift in focus to macro socio-economic forces when considering LGBTQIA+ homelessness. Researchers also discuss the need for more robust social work training for staff of shelters who serve this vulnerable and resilient population.

Authors: Dorosheva Elena A.
Published: October 2024

The analytical review is devoted to the study of factors affecting the formation of the system of emotions regulation in ontogenetic development. A comparison of the formation of an emotion regulation systemfor normotypic and deviating development (on the example of autism spectrum disorders) was made. The interaction of the main innate factors (level of sensory processing sensitivity and effortful control) with factors of the communicative environment (type of attachment to parents, verbalization of emotions and a model of mind) in the development of adaptive emotional regulation and dysregulation is shown.
Suicide as an existential choice
Authors: Goryaeva Polina Yu.
Published: October 2024

This article provides an analysis of articles on the topic of suicide. The problem of suicide is important in philosophy, existential psychology, including personality psychology and clinical psychology. There is no single concept of this phenomenon and no numerous experimental bases. Often in clinical psychology, psychiatry, and medicine, suicide is viewed as a form of deviant behavior, pathology or deviation. However, there are theories and models that describe the phenomenon of suicide differently. The article also shows the reasons why a person commits suicide. Researchers find either personal or social reasons. Some studies are presented to identify the relationship between suicidal tendencies and personal or situationalfactors. Most research on suicide focuses on correlates. Another way to improve knowledge and prevention is to better understand the motives behind suicide attempts.

Türkiye-Alliance of Sahel States Relations: A Preliminary Appraisal
Authors: MUSTAPHA AHMED BADAWI
Published: October 2024

This article documents a preliminary appraisal of Türkiye’s relations with the newly formed Alliance of the Sahel States (AES), within the confines of security engagements, economic entanglements, and humanitarian/cultural interactions. To achieve this, the study investigates how the Heartland Theory and the smart power paradigm could assist in exploring Türkiye’s relations with the Alliance. Analyzing official documents and secondary data, the paper takes the view that defense and security engagements have taken center stage of the relations, relegating economic and humanitarian issues to the periphery. This shift positions Türkiye to play a very influential role in Sahelian affairs, particularly in their defense and security. Considering the stiff competition from key non-Western countries with vested interest in the region, especially China and Russia, Türkiye must carefully navigate its relations with regional bodies like the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and these other external actors to promote regional stability and cooperation. Amidst the growing discontent expressed by the Alliance towards the Western countries, Ankara is compelled to exert its influential role in a manner different from its predecessors.

Another critical dimension is the defense cooperation, with Türkiye as an important security partner. Military and technological assistance along with training in response to the security challenges Nigeria faces highlights Türkiye’s strategic significance. The humanitarian and socio-cultural aspects facilitate their relationship development further. Turkish education initiatives and humanitarian endeavors strengthen ties and support Türkiye’s foreign policy aimed at ensuring stability and growth in Africa. With some trade imbalances and possible overreliance on Turkish military technologies, the countries have to develop an effective strategy to address the challenges and ensure a viable presence in the current multipolar world.
Questioning the West and Creating an Alternative: China’s and Türkiye’s Similar Approaches toward Africa
Authors: AYDIN HASAN , LIU YI
Published: October 2024

Several actors have turned their attention to Africa, and the continent is becoming a focal point for international relations. These actors have adopted various approaches to improve their relations with African countries. This study examines the alternative dimension of rising international competition on the continent. The main focus of the study is Türkiye’s and China’s alternative approaches to Africa. Accordingly, the study seeks to answer three interrelated questions: What are the differences between the traditional and alternative approaches? What are the main factors shaping China’s and Türkiye’s alternative approaches toward Africa? What are the similarities in Beijing’s and Ankara’s approaches regarding African countries in practice? As a result, this study argues that China and Türkiye present an alternative stance to the Western-centered approach for competition in Africa, despite some differences in their relations with continental countries.
