Notes from a field: A qualitative exploration of human-animal relations in a volunteer shepherding project
Authors: Adams Matthew , Ormrod James , Smith Sarah
Published: May 2021

There is a burgeoning interest in human–animal relations across the social sciences and humanities, accompanied by an acceptance that nonhuman animals are active participants in countless social relations, worthy of serious and considered empirical exploration. This article, the first of its kind as far as the authors are aware, reports on an ongoing qualitative exploration of an example of contemporary human–animal interaction on the fringes of a British city: volunteer shepherding (‘lookering’). Participants are part of a conservation grazing scheme, a growing phenomenon in recent years that relies on increasingly popular volunteer programmes. The primary volunteer role in such schemes is to spend time outdoors checking the welfare of livestock. The first section of the article summarises developments in more-than-human and multispecies research methodologies, and how the challenges of exploring the non- and more-than-human in particular are being addressed. In the second section, we frame our own approach to a human–animal relation against this emerging literature and detail the practicalities of the methods we used. The third section details some of our findings specifically in terms of what was derived from the peculiarities of our method. A final discussion offers a reflection on some of the methodological and ethical implications of our research, in terms of the question of who benefits and how from this specific instance of human–animal relations, and for the development of methods attuned to human–animal and multispecies relations more generally.
Context in Continuity: The Enduring Legacy of Neighborhood Disadvantage Across Generations
Authors: Alvarado Steven Elias , Cooperstock Alexandra
Published: May 2021

Neighborhoods may contribute to the maintenance of inequality in well-being across generations. We use 35 years of restricted geo-coded NLSY 1979 and NLSY Children and Young Adults data to estimate the association between multigenerational exposure to childhood neighborhood disadvantage and subsequent adult exposure. Invoking cousin fixed effects models that adjust for unobserved legacies of disadvantage that cascade across generations, we find that families where both parents and their children are exposed to childhood neighborhood disadvantage are likely to pass on the legacy of neighborhood disadvantage to successive generations, net of observed and unobserved confounders. Second, we find a direct intergenerational neighborhood association, net of observed and unobserved confounders. Third, we find that unobserved confounders nested in previous generations explain away the intragenerational neighborhood association. These findings reorient neighborhood theory to more seriously attend to the interdependence of neighborhood level and individual level antecedents of inequality across generations.
Ewolucja pozycji ustrojowej Prezydenta w konstytucjach Litwy w okresie międzywojennym
Authors: Malužinas Martinas
Published: May 2021

This article is focused on the evolution of the constitutional position of the President of Lithuania in the Lithuanian Basic Laws. The analysis concerns the regulations of the three Lithuanian Basic Laws of the interwar period (of 1922, 1928 and 1938), two of which were an attempt to legitimize the political situation after the coup d’état against the constitutional government of the Republic of Lithuania in 1926 and also to implement the authoritarian government of President Antanas Smetona. The article also assesses the most important legal provisions concerning the constitutional position of the President, as well as compares the Lithuanian constitutional provisions with constitutions of other countries, primarily with the Polish Constitution of 1935. The research goals have been achieved thanks to the applied research methods, especially the comparative method, supplemented with the historical method and the method of institutional and legal analysis, which is used to analyse normative acts elaborated by legal bodies.
Kościół, Cerkiew i kwestia ukraińska. Spór na forum polskiego parlamentu w 1938 r.
Authors: Ryba Mieczysław
Published: May 2021

The subject of this article is the parliamentary discussion of 1938 concerning the religious dispute in the south-eastern borderlands of the Second Polish Republic. The disputes concerned, among other things, the political role of the Greek Catholic Church, which was strongly involved in the Ukrainian national movement. In 1938 a revindication action took place in the Chełm region, as a result of which the Polish authorities liquidated over one hundred Orthodox churches. These actions were the subject of a stormy debate in the Parliament between Polish and Ukrainian MPs. The arguments of the Polish side concerned, above all, the protection of the security of the Polish state threatened by intervention from both the East (USSR) and the West (Germany).

The parking systems in the modern age are under tremendous stress as the number of vehicles on the roads are increasing every year. Due to this increase, the current parking lots do not suffice which leads to people driving for parking spaces thus wasting valuable time and adding to the greenhouse emissions. Therefore, new efficient and innovative solutions need to be developed which meets the ever- increasing demand for parking spaces and be as environmentally friendly as possible. The solution devised in this project is an enhancement of the current parking system with an integrated mobile application which allow drivers to remotely monitor parking lots, make reservation for a spot prior to visiting the parking lot and make in app payments for the parking services. This reduces the time spent in looking for parking spots as well as reduces the unnecessary carbon emissions while offering a practical and seamless parking experience to the users.

Authors:   Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology, Farhi Lubna , Rehman Farhan Ur ,   University of Toronto, Canada
Published: May 2021

In this paper, the image efficiency is improved by using hybrid model of wiener’s filter and fuzzy filter. It’s a challenging task to remove Gaussian noise (GN) from an image and to protect the picture edges. The Fuzzy - Wiener filter (FWF) hybrid model is used for optimizing the image smoothness and efficiency at a high level of GN. The efficiency is measured by using Structural Similarity (SSIM), Mean Square Error (MSE), and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). The proposed algorithm substitutes a mean value of the matrix for a non-overlapping block and replaces the total pixel number with each direction. In the proposed model, overall results presented that the optimized hybrid model FWF has an enormous computational speed and impulsive noise reduction, which enables efficient filtering as compared to the existing techniques
A Cross-Tabulation Analysis of Socio-Economic Determinants of Crime: Evidence from Women Jail Multan, Pakistan
Authors: Sheikh Muhammad Ramzan , Tariq Muhammad , Sultan Sana
Published: May 2021

The crime rate in Pakistan has increased severely within the last decade. It may be because of high unemployment, increasing poverty, income, rising inflation and urbanized setups. Few noneconomic constraints are also responsible for it. The study has been made with reference to Women Jail Multan. The 70 female prisoners are selected via a random sampling method. The data are collected by interviewing them. The study has used the type of crime as the dependent variable. Purely crime-related variables and socio-economic factors of crime have been used as explanatory variables. Both purely crime-related variables and socio-economic variables have found effect size with the type of crime.
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Croatian economy
Authors: Roška Vlasta , Buneta Anđelka , Papić Milan
Published: May 2021

This article titled “The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Croatian
economy” deals with exceedingly current events triggered by the pandemic, which have reflected on the national and global economy. Based
on the currently available data and the survey of 358 respondents (from
both the private entrepreneurship sector and public administration), the effect of COVID-19 on the Croatian economy is observed through declining employment, the required recovery years, and declining GDP. The differences and similarities between this and the great global economic crisis of 2008/2009 as well as the opinion of entrepreneurs on which crisis has had more significant consequences for the economy were examined. A linear regression model predicts the declining employment in
the recovery years. The entrepreneurs agree that the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is far more destructive and devastating to the economy, primarily because there is no end in sight even though the vaccine has been found. The unanimous agreement of the entrepreneurs is that, without further measures aimed at preserving the economy put in place by the Government, it will not be possible to suppress a further decline in employment and GDP, which will lead to a prolongation of the necessary recovery time for the Croatian economy. This research is the basis for further research on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
Croatian economy.

Ocjenjivanje knjižničnih usluga najobjektivniji je način uvida u organizaciju i rad knjižnice. Svrha ovog istraživanja bila je istražiti zadovoljstvo korisnika knjižničnih usluga. U tu je svrhu provedeno prikupljanje primarnih podataka na primjeru Knjižnice Veleučilišta u Rijeci. Podaci su prikupljani tehnikom anketiranja. Upitnik za prikupljanje podataka sastojao se od šest dijelova: važnost knjižničnih usluga, zadovoljstvo pojedinom knjižničnom uslugom, uvjeti rada u knjižnici, ukupno zadovoljstvo korisnika knjižnice, lojalnost korisnika knjižnice i profil ispitanika. Uzorak čine studenti preddiplomskih i specijalističkih diplomskih stručnih studija, a podaci su prikupljeni u razdoblju od siječnja do studenoga 2020. godine. U analizi prikupljenih podataka korištene su metode deskriptivne statistike, t-test i regresijska analiza. Rezultati deskriptivne analize pokazali su orijentiranost korisnika knjižničnom osoblju, preko kojeg se najčešće informiraju o radu Knjižnice. Pronalazak literature najvažnija je knjižnična usluga. Ukupno zadovoljstvo korisnika knjižnice ocijenjeno je
prosječnom ocjenom 4,55, što pokazuje visok stupanj zadovoljstva uslugama u promatranoj knjižnici. Na temelju provedenog t-testa moguće je zaključiti da korisnici knjižnice koji studiraju na različitim razinama studija imaju značajno različite stupnjeve zadovoljstva pojedinom knjižničnom uslugom, dok obje grupe slično ocjenjuju ukupno zadovoljstvo knjižnicom. Nadalje, postoji statistički značajna povezanost između zadovoljstva pojedinom knjižničnom uslugom i ukupnog zadovoljstva korisnika knjižnice. Također su značajno povezani ukupno zadovoljstvo i lojalnost korisnika knjižnice. Provedeno istraživanje pridonijelo je boljem razumijevanju stavova o knjižničnim uslugama, te je slijedom toga pokazalo niz prijedloga temeljem kojih Knjižnica može redefinirati poslovanje, uvjete rada i usluga i uskladiti ih s prijedlozima korisnika, a s ciljem poboljšanja razine zadovoljstva i postizanja pozitivnih namjera u ponašanju.

Authors: Kropyvko Mykhailo , Kisil Mykola
Published: May 2021

The purpose of the article is to substantiate and highlight the theoretical provisions and methodological approaches to the formation of a strategy for managing the efficiency of investment in a farm. Research methods. During the study, the following methods were used: dialectical (in the knowledge of investment processes and phenomena); abstract-logical (in substantiating theoretical provisions on the formation of investment efficiency); SWOT-analysis (in assessing priority investment goals by efficiency criteria); strategic planning methods (in choosing strategic investment goals); project analysis (in assessing the effectiveness of investments for their strategic goals); monographic (when checking theoretical provisions and methodological approaches on the example of a particular farm). Research results. The article summarizes the theoretical provisions and methodological approaches to the formation of a strategy for managing the efficiency of investment in a farm, arising from the characteristics of this form of management. Scientific novelty. The justification was further developed that investment efficiency is formed mainly at the stage of choosing investment options and solutions, in connection with which the main tasks of a farmer in managing this efficiency are to select the best investment options in terms of efficiency and minimize risks; the development of an investment strategy and investment policy of a farm should be carried out on the principles of strategic management and methodology of project analysis in the context of each investment goal; a high level of validity of the farmer's choice of strategic investment goals is achieved based on the results of the assessment of investment projects and business plans, and in the absence of these for the farmer, based on the results of a pre-project analysis of aggregated or indicative data on effects and costs in the context of each strategic investment goal; a farm investment performance management system should encompass the assessment and selection of the most effective investment objectives and measures in the development of an investment strategy, policy, program and current plan. Practical significance. The research results can be used by all farms. For this purpose, guidelines have been developed for practical use. Tabl.: 1. Refs.: 11.

A number of important principles have been proposed covering the life of rural society. Refs.: 14.
Critical analysis of common methodology flaws in e-cigarette surveys
Authors: Hajat Cother , Polosa Riccardo , Selya Arielle , Stein Emma
Published: May 2021

The prevalence of vaping, also known as using e-cigarettes, vapes, vape pens, or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) has prompted a demand for reliable, evidence-based research.1 However, published literature on the topic of vaping is often unreliable, characterized by serious flaws and a failure to adhere to accepted scientific methodologies. In this narrative review, we analyze 24 popular vaping studies, published in medical journals, that purport to evaluate the association of vaping and smoking initiation, smoking cessation or health outcomes. We analyzed these studies to identify the questions they claimed to address, stated methods, manner of implementation, discussions, and stated conclusions. After critical appraisal, we noted a multiplicity of flaws in these studies, and identified patterns as to the nature of such flaws. Many studies lacked a clear hypothesis statement: to the extent that a hypothesis could be inferred, the methods were not tailored to address the question of interest. Moreover, main outcome measures were poorly identified, and data analysis was further complicated by failure to control for confounding factors. The body of literature on “gateway” theory for the initiation of smoking was particularly unreliable. Overall, the results and discussion contained numerous unreliable assertions due to poor methods, including data collection that lacked relevance, and assertions that were unfounded. Many researchers claimed to find a causal association while not supporting such findings with meaningful data: the discussions and conclusions of such studies were therefore misleading. Herein, we identify the common flaws in the study design, methodology, and implementation found in published vaping studies. Our aim is to prompt future researchers to adhere to scientific methods to produce more reliable findings and conclusions in the field of vaping research.

Memahami Kembali Konsep khilāfah dalam Sejarah Global
Authors: Bustamam Ahmad Kamaruzzaman , Zulfidar Fitri
Published: May 2021

This article examines the positioning of the concept of khilāfah in the context of global history. It must be admitted that this concept received a negative response from various groups, especially scholars and governments, which did not allow the power of Islam to emerge ideologically on the global stage. Therefore, various results of geopolitical analysis always assume that the concept of khilāfah is a concept that has a negative impact on the global order. However, as explained in this article, the concept of khilāfah has a very strong theological dimension in Islamic teachings. Therefore, the more it is shunned from being used as an Islamic political force, the stronger the desire of some Muslims to use this concept as an argument and pretext in their system of struggle.

Background: Emotional divorce refers to a situation in which the emotional relationship, support, passion, warmth, attention, love, and intimacy between couples (husband & wife) decline or diminish. Such conditions lead to an unaffectionate marital life to the point that the couples are only together under one roof. Accordingly, the present study aimed to explore the role of attachment styles and spiritual intelligence in predicting emotional divorce in women. Methods: This study employed a descriptive-correlational design. The research population included all women filing for divorce who were referred to marriage counseling and couple therapy centers in districts 5 and 6 in Tehran City, Iran, in 2020. In total, 400 women who met the inclusion criteria were selected as the study participants using voluntary response and convenience sampling techniques. The required data were collected by the Emotional Divorce Scale, the Adult Attachment Scale, and the Self-Report Measure of Spiritual Intelligence. The collected data were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis method in SPSS V. 22. Results: The obtained results suggested a significant positive relationship between the anxious-avoidant attachment style and emotional divorce (P<0.01). Furthermore, there was a significant negative relationship between spiritual intelligence and emotional divorce; the higher the spiritual intelligence, the lower the emotional divorce (P=0.02). Accordingly, spiritual intelligence and anxious-avoidant attachment style can predict emotional divorce (Multiple Regressions= -0.58). Conclusion: The present study data suggested that premarital education and counseling before spouse selection help in examining the personality traits of the parties. Moreover, paying attention to the role of health professionals, such as family counselors, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses in providing premarital counseling and education to couples and emphasizing the role of spiritual intelligence and attachment styles may prevent emotional separation and divorce among couples.

Importance of the Cerro de la Tortuga State Park for mammal conservation in the state of Morelos, Mexico The Cerro de la Tortuga State Park (PECT) in Mexico was declared a Protected Natural Area (ANP) in 2012. The technical report for the decree included a potential list of mammals in the area according to a bibliographic review of general distribution maps; their presence was not corroborated with field data. The aim of this study was to update the list of mammals present in the PECT with field work data so as to clarify the value of the natural resources that this ANP protects, and thus contribute to the knowledge, management and conservation of mammals in the region. Field work took place from February to October 2017. We sampled six sites over two different periods, first, during the dry season and second, during the rainy season. Direct and indirect survey methods were used to sample mammal presence. Thirty species of wild mammals were recorded within the PECT, representing 28 % of the mammal species reported for the state of Morelos. The species recorded belong to 27 genera, 16 families and six orders. Chiroptera was the richest order, with 14 species (47 %), followed by Carnivora with 7 species (23 %), Rodentia with five (17 %), Didelphimorphia with two (7 %), and Lagomorpha and Xenartra with one species (3 %) each. Among all the species detected, only Leptonycteris yerbabuenae is classified as threatened in the NOM-059-2010 and as nearly threatened in the IUCN red list. As the PECT could operate as a key landscape corridor between other ANPs in the state for several mammalian species, its conservation and optimal management is important to adequately protect the regional natural resources.

COMMUNICATING EUROPEAN VALUES THROUGH CRITICAL MEDIA LITERACY: CASE OF ERASMUS+ JEAN MONNET MODULE "EUROPEAN VALUES IN LITERARY ARTS"
Authors:   Zaporizhzhya National University, Tupakhina Olena
Published: May 2021

The article is prepared based on the results of the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module «European Values in Literary Arts» (599918-ЕРР-1-2018-1-UA-EPPJMO-MODULE EUVOLIA). The study explores the impact of the course «European Values in Literary Arts» (EUVOLIA) on its target audience (Bachelor and Master students majoring in Humanities, Natural and Exact sciences) in terms of raising awareness of European values. The relevance of the study is determined, on the one hand, by the necessity to articulate сorrectly the European values dimension in the HEI curricula, and, on the other hand, by the lack of a methodological basis for a value-based approach in the teaching of the Humanities. While Ukrainian students’ perception of European values is fragmented due to controversial social and political contexts (i.e., conflicting attitudes to Ukraine’s European integration and growing disillusionment in EU institutions’ functionality), a critical media literacy toolkit developed by EUVOLIA can significantly increase their sensitivity to values-related issues and deepen their understanding of European values as an integral axiological construct. The impact of the EUVOLIA course, which was presented in Zaporizhzhya National University during 2018–2020 for five mixed groups of students (126 students in total), was measured with the help of formalized questionnaires and surveys. The target audience’s portrait of values was created according to the Schwartz Value Survey on the research of value orientations. The results showed that the methodological toolkit used in the EUVOLIA project not only increases students’ awareness of European values but also contributed to the development of critical perceptions of cultural products and materials of mass media, overcoming the phenomenon of «double-think» and strengthening the sense of belonging to the European cultural paradigm.

The authors studied the legal documents on the collection and processing of sectoral reports on the logistics of higher education institutions (HEI). The purpose of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of the state of logistics of the HEIs of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine using specific statistical and financial indicators. The method of system and structural-hierarchical analysis is applied in the work, it was used to develop the information model of information collection and processing, the methodology and technology of information databases formation; a statistical method for determining the relationships between indicators and developing a system of analytical indicators. For the information and analytical support, the data from the databases «Legal Entities» and «Financial and Economic Reporting» are used, formed using common methodological principles. Analytical indicators make it possible to assess the condition of academic buildings and dormitories, make it possible to identify technically obsolete facilities in need of repair, modernization or decommissioning. To do this, a number of indicators have been calculated and presented, including the provision of space in academic buildings and dormitories per full-time student, the average annual cost of maintaining one square meter of building area, the coefficient of wear and tear, etc. Analytical data are formed based on the financial results of the HEIs for the year 2019 in Ukraine as a whole, for each group of the HEIs and each institution of higher education. The obtained results make possible operational monitoring of the working efficiency of academic buildings and dormitories. The proposed framework of data processing, storage and usage provides high-quality analytical information when making management decisions on logistics issues of the HEIs. The topic of further research should be the development of the information and analytical system combining and using indicators of two information databases, namely «Legal Entities» and «Financial and Economic Reporting».
