Development Approach for Quality Assurance in Higher Education on Area-Based and Community based on the Concept of Management of Educational Institution as the World of New Learning to Promote Students’ Living Valuable Lives
Authors: Trirat Pratoomtong , Visuttakul Chidchamai
Published: July 2024

The misalignment between educational standards and the needs of students and the labor market often results in education that is underutilized. Thus, enhancing quality assurance in education to achieve learning outcomes that improve the value of life is essential for students to lead meaningful lives and attain true success. This study aims to: 1) examine the current and desirable states and priority needs, and 2) proposed development approach for quality assurance in higher education according to Area-Based and Community based on the concept of management of educational institution as the world of new learning to promote students’ living valuable lives. The respondents were 291 participants from 36 institutions. The results indicated that the overall current state is at a moderate level, the overall desirable state is at a high level, and the overall priority needs index (PNIModified=0.236). The proposed approaches are: 1) establishing policies and standards for data in various disciplines, considering societal trends, economy, environment, and other factors, with a focus on goal-orientation and regular updates both quantitatively and qualitatively; 1.1) developing a comprehensive database with national and international interlinks, 1.2) advancing technologies for teaching and learning management with an emphasis on outcomes, self-adaptation, discovery, and creativity, 1.3) fostering knowledge construction with innovative data; 2) formulating pedagogical policies and strategies that cater to students' potential and interests: 2.1) creating integrated trans-disciplinary courses that reflect learning outcomes, 2.2) developing modern learning resources, 2.3) establishing data collection methods for evaluating outcomes, including the progress and success of both teachers and students; 3) setting policies for supervision and monitoring of data management linked to instructional management and research, with a focus on academic integrity and national context: 3.1) developing an integrated data system for knowledge, innovation, and research that highlights the creation of new ideas for career development, 3.2) ensuring data access for discovering methods to improve instructional management, foster creative innovations, and develop positive career attitudes and societal security.
Embracing the Promise of Open Educational Resources: Faculty Insights and Implications in Higher Education
Authors: Al-Zahrani Abdulrahman M.
Published: July 2024

This study examines faculty perceptions, awareness, and utilization of Open Educational Resources (OER) in higher education and identifies barriers hindering their adoption. The research encompasses multiple perspectives, including demographic information, teaching practices involving technology, familiarity and opinions regarding OER, types of OER utilized by faculty, ease of searching for OER, a comparison between open and traditional resources, intentions to use OER in the future, and factors deterring the adoption of OER. The study employed a quantitative approach using an online survey questionnaire to gather data. A random sample of faculty members from the University of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia was recruited (n = 139). Using descriptive and MANOVA tests, the findings highlight a preference for blended teaching styles, significant awareness of OER, ease in searching for OER, and a strong intention to use OER in the future. The results emphasize the importance of addressing concerns related to institutional support, intellectual property policies, recognition of contributions, and creating a supportive environment to enhance faculty engagement with OER. The study implications suggest comprehensive and targeted approaches to support faculty members in adopting and utilizing OER effectively, including promoting gender equity, enhancing ease of adoption, considering workload impact, recognizing differences based on teaching experience, tailoring support based on teaching style, and actively promoting the benefits and opportunities of OER.

Relationship between impulsivity and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in forensic sciences
Authors: Canpolat Elif , Koca Deniz , Yukseloglu Emel
Published: August 2024

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by repeated unwanted thoughts, repetitive behaviours and rituals to reduce these thoughts. OCD is often seen together with other psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. Although it may seem similar, often the urge to perform certain behaviours or act in certain ways is sometimes confused with impulse control disorder. Impulsivity is a trait associated with low impulse control, impaired cognitive functioning, and risky behaviour. Impulse control disorders include disorders that affect the ability to control behaviour and can lead to behavioural addictions, such as gambling addiction. It is argued that impulsivity is associated with neurotransmitters, genetic factors and brain structure and that impulsive behaviours have neurological bases. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin have been associated with impulsivity. Candidate genes associated with impulsivity and aggression have been shown to alter the function of neurotransmitters. The relationship between psychiatric illnesses and criminality has been the subject of intense debate and investigation by many researchers in recently. Although there is no direct connection between OCD and criminal behaviour, there are some behaviours that can be considered "behavioural addiction" in the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition”(DSM-5), such as gambling addiction and compulsive stealing. It is an undeniable fact that individuals with impulse control disorders are prone to criminal acts. The relationship between OCD and impulse control disorder has therefore attracted the attention of forensic sciences and has been examined multidisciplinary.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ГЕОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО СТРОЕНИЯ БАССЕЙНА ОРИЕНТЕ
Authors: ВОРОБЬЕВ А.Е. , ЗАРУМА М.Т.
Published: July 2024

В работе представлено описание геологического строения бассейна Ориентe. Показано, что бассейн Ориенте включает в себя ту часть системы задуговой синклинали, которая располагается в Эквадоре и на северо-востоке Перу, между геологическими фундаментными дугами Vaupes Swell, расположенными по линии «восток - запад» в южной Колумбии, и дугой Contoya - на севере Перу. При этом бассейн демонстрирует значительную асимметрию с более крутым западным краем, характеризующимся структурным падением под углом 5-10° и более полого опускающимся восточным краем, с падениями под углом менее 2°. Плотность и амплитуда внутрибассейновых сбросов и складок существенно уменьшаются к южной части бассейна. При этом ширина бассейна значительно уменьшается к северу (по мере приближения к расположенному поперечно бассейну Vaupes Arch), а увеличенная структурная десвита - это результат расширения периода «юры - мела» и последующего сжатия стесненными горными породами в третичный период. К востоку, на континентальном щите, мощность осадочных отложений этого бассейна уменьшается, тогда как на западной стороне (по мере приближения к дотретичным выходам на дневную поверхность субандской зоны) появляются немногочисленные свидетельства утончения региональных отложений мелового - нижнего третичное периодов, отличного от «утолщения» на внешнем краю шельфа, которое, вероятно, опирается в глубине на гранитные интрузии.
Understanding stakeholders' perception on integrating ICT in teaching and learning science subjects: Experiences from Tanzanian secondary schools
Authors: Ngodu Abdallah , Ndibalema Placidius M. , William Francis
Published: July 2024

This study investigated stakeholders’ perceptions of the integration of ICT in teaching and learning science subjects in secondary schools. A cross-sectional survey design, using a mixed approach, guided the study. Survey questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection. A total of 221 respondents, including students, teachers, heads of schools and district education officers, were sampled. The SPSS version 24 was used for quantitative data analysis. The qualitative data from the interviews were subjected to thematic analysis. Results indicate that stakeholders had positive perceptions of the benefits of integrating ICT in teaching science subjects. However, their positive perception was hampered by the accessibility of ICT materials, insufficient pedagogical knowledge and limited support from school management. Therefore, it affects the integration of ICT in teaching and learning science subjects. The study recommends government and management support to ensure sufficient ICT materials. Further, teachers should be equipped with sufficient pedagogical knowledge for ICT integration in teaching and learning science subjects.
Anti-bolshevik Insurgencies in Vohlynia in 1919–1920
Authors: Zhyviuk Andrii
Published: July 2024

The study examines the resistance of the population of Vohlynia against the Bolshevik government from the spring of 1919 to the fall of 1920. The author carried out a heuristic search for documents (archival-criminal cases) opened by the employees of the All-Russian Emergency Commission (Vserossiyskaia odzhdenskaia komisia – VChk, in Russian) in the Sectoral State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine in Rivne, which reveal the specified topic, systematized and analyzed them. On the basis of the narrative synthesized from archival and criminal cases, the author came to the conclusion that the Cheka’s repressions against the participants of anti-Bolshevik insurgencies had an illegal, brutal, chaotic character, systematically violated elementary human rights, and not only the participants of the anti-Bolshevik uprisings, but also ordinary civilians became their victims. At the same time, the scope and implacability of anti-Soviet demonstrations in Vohlynia in 1919–1920, together with the actions of regular Ukrainian and Polish military units, delayed the establishment of the Bolshevik regime there for twenty years. The discussed topic can become the subject of a separate multi-faceted study on the basis of the considered documentary array originating from the departmental archives of the Ukrainian special services.

The Greek Civil War of 1946–1949 was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the modern Greek state and lefl a lasting impact on the political and social life of the country. This paper provides a brief overview of the events of the 40s and attempts to analyze the Civil War through an examination of how it was perceived in the postwar period. Specifically, it will discuss the perspectives that developed in the humanities (historiography, political science), but also the evolution of collective memory on the Civil War, in relation to the political shifls in the country throughout the second half of the 20th century (60s, Dictatorship, Metapolitefsi). The paper represents a multifaceted overview of Greek collective memory of the Civil War and its consequences from 1949 to the present day. Methodologically, it draws from the fields of the history of historiography, public history and memory studies.
Ukrainian Literary Dissent
Authors: Yastrubetska Halyna
Published: July 2024

The aim of the study was to discuss Ukrainian literary dissent as a component of the socio-cultural phenomenon of the Sixties – the national revival of the 1960s and 1970s in Ukraine and the Resistance Movement under the totalitarian regime of the Soviet Union. The objective was to reflect on the phenomenon of Ukrainian literary dissent in the second half of the twentieth century in the light of the modus operandi/concept of Freedom. Historical and literary, comparative and historical, receptive and aesthetic, on top of typological methods are tools for understanding the Ukrainian literary dissent of the 1960s and 1970s in Ukraine in its morphological dimension. Personalities of the Ukrainian literary dissent included Ihor Kalynets, Hryhorii Kochur, Yurii Lytvyn, Valerii Marchenko, Taras Melnychuk, Mykhailo Osadchyi, Vasyl Ovsiienko, Mykola Rudenko, Yevhen Sverstiuk, Ivan Svitlychnyi, Vasyl Stus, Oleksa Tykhyi, Les Taniuk, Mykola Kholodnyi, and others.
The basis for the formation and existence of Ukrainian literary dissent (general historical, historical and cultural, mental, ontological) in the context of the Sixties as a “synergistic phenomenon” was discussed by Liudmyla Tarnashynska. Worldview, philosophical, socio-cultural manifestations of Ukrainian literary dissent were literary aspects of the human rights movement (literary and artistic, rhetorical and journalistic, literary and critical).
The existence of Ukrainian self-publishing was a special form of the Resistance Movement of the 1960s and early 1970s, as well as an alternative component of the literary process of this period (Ivan Dziuba, Iryna Zhylenko, Sviatoslav Karavanskyi, Roman Korogodskyi, Mykhailyna Kotsiubynska, Leonid Pliushch, Mykola Rudenko, Yevhen Sverstiuk, Ivan Svitlychnyi, Vasyl Stus, and others). Contribution of literary dissidents included the activities of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group (Oles Berdnyk, Yurii Lytvyn, Valerii Marchenko, Mykola Rudenko, Vasyl Stus). The activity of the Ukrainian literary dissent is projected into the plane of Freedom and Rebellion in the socio-historical, mental, genetic, and metaphysical planes were social freedom as a socio-political struggle; personal freedom as an existential confrontation; and creative freedom as a metaphysical rebellion. Presentation of the activities/works of Mykola Rudenko, Ivan Svitlychnyi, and Vasyl Stus as key figures of Ukrainian literary dissent follows.
The Oppositional Writer Paul Goma and the Assassination Attempts by the Securitate (1977–1982)
Authors: Bălănescu Flori
Published: July 2024

In the political-diplomatic context of the preparations for the Belgrade Follow-up Meeting to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe and of Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia, inspired by the former, the initiative by the Romanian writer Paul Goma to start a human rights movement in Romania, at the beginning of 1977, was seen as an open declaration of war by the communist regime. All those who joined the Goma Movement were subject to repression. The writer would be in danger of losing his life because of the attempts to assassinate him by the secret police. A sudden death was preferable to a public trial, which would have seriously damaged the image of the regime in Bucharest, especially since in 1977 provisions dealing with political crimes had been removed from the Criminal Code. Released from prison under pressure from the West, the dissident writer, banned in Romania, continued to be one of the leading critical voices against the Ceaușescu regime while in exile. When he was forced to leave the country in November 1977, the writer was warned by the Securitate general Nicolae Pleșiță that the long arm of the secret police would reach him no matter where he was. In the 1980s, at the behest of the party leaders, the secret police were still working out ways to silence him. Just as he survived the first assassination attempt (in the Rahova prison in Bucharest, April 1977), Paul Goma would survive two more attempts, in 1981 and 1982, planned by the Securitate, under direct orders from Ceaușescu, the first attempt being carried out by the international terrorist Carlos the Jackal, the second one by the Securitate officer Matei Haiducu, based in Paris.
Theatricality and Totalitarianism. Case study
Authors: Hațiegan Anca
Published: July 2024

In my paper I shall approach the phenomenon of communist totalitarianism in relation to the theatricality developed by the inhabitants of the countries in the socialist camp, in a society under constant surveillance by the political police. At the same time, I shall look at the ways in which theatricality permeates and is reflected in the novels of the age, particularly in Norman Manea’s novel The Black Envelope, first published in Romania in 1986 in a censored version. In The Captive Mind, the Polish writer Czesław Miłosz devotes an entire chapter to exploring the forms of histrionism developed by the inhabitants of the Sovietized countries. Similar ideas are conveyed in an interview of Matei Călinescu, a Romanian-American literary critic and prose writer, who describes life under Ceauşescu’s neo-Stalinist regime as being governed by „Pseudo”. In this Orwellian universe the totalitarian, tyrannical fiction rivals literary fiction. The fiction-to-fiction relation between literature and the totalitarian world is significantly problematised in N. Manea’s writings.
A Few Notes on Józef Piłsudski and the Treaty of Riga
Authors: Kloc Krzysztof
Published: July 2024

Historical literature oflen suggests that Józef Piłsudski, the Commander-in-Chief, won the war with Soviet Russia, but lost the peace. He lost in many respects: he lost his Polish eastern policy, which ended in failure; he lost to the Sejm and politicians who were pushing for an armistice with the Bolsheviks and who took the matters of peace in Riga into their own hands. These politicians were also asked: did nothing in Riga actually depend on Piłsudski? What did he know about the pending talks, did he try to influence them somehow behind the scenes? Did he see any alternative to the decisions being made in the Latvian capital? And finally – how did he remark on and evaluate the provisions of the Riga peace? The purpose of this article is to analyze all these narratives, bring out their main themes and re-examine them. The main conclusion is that Piłsudski’s defeat in Riga was also a defeat for Poland: of its attempt to achieve independence as a superpower between Germany and Russia. The failure of Piłsudski’s eastern policy, of which Riga may be a symbol, determined not only further Polish–Soviet relations, but the fate of Poland in general in the interwar two decades, a fact of which Piłsudski was well aware.
Observation and Infiltration
Authors: Koreś Daniel
Published: July 2024

The article consists of two sections: a study of desertions of Jewish soldiers from the Polish Armed Forces  in  the  East, and five reports by the head of Polish military intelligence (Second Department of General Staff), Colonel Stanisław Gano, dated August and July 1944, on the effects of infiltrating the milieu of Jewish deserters. The first section shows the causes and course of desertions of Jewish soldiers from Polish units stationed in the Mandate of Palestine, primarily in the fall of 1943, as a backdrop for the cited documents. The source section presents intelligence reports produced by Office “T” of Polish military intelligence based in Jerusalem, later sent to London and forwarded to the Political Department of the Ministry of Defense that monitored issues of national tensions within members of the Polish Armed Forces. The documents show that a considerable number of Jewish deserters came into conflict with officials of the Jewish Agency for Israel in Palestine, who had previously urged them to leave the Polish troops. The root of the conflict was the deserters’ reluctance to serve in Jewish military units under British command or in the Haganah, or to do hard labor under harsh conditions in kibbutzim. What we can learn from these reports is that many deserters wanted to return to the ranks of the Polish Armed Forces in the East, but were unable to do so because of the actions of the officials of the Jewish Agency for Israel (such as the burning of their Polish identity documents). These documents prove that the Jewish Agency for Israel was abusing the argument of anti-Semitism, which was supposedly widespread in the Polish Armed Forces in the East, by exploiting it, often with cynical deliberation, to achieve its own ends.
The Oil and Gas Industry in the Second Republic of Poland
Authors: Sroka Łukasz Tomasz
Published: July 2024

The article reviews the most important statistical publications on the oil and gas industry in the Second Republic of Poland. The recommended sources allow an in-depth study of the development of this industry, the volume of oil and gas production and the scale of production of oil and gas derivatives. The article also discusses the personnel working in the energy industry, consumption and prices of oil and gas, investment works, etc. This warrants further and expanded research on the impact of the oil and gas sector on the overall socio-economic relations in the Second Republic of Poland. Furthermore, the essay offers an in-depth analysis of the diplomatic and economic relations of interwar Poland with other countries who were its trade partners. If we wish to refer to this heritage in a thoughtful way and draw on it for knowledge and experience, we need to understand it better.
Transformations of Reading and Readership in the Czech Republic from 2007 to 2023
Authors: Richter Vít
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the Czech Republic’s reading habits from 2007 to 2023, specifically looking at how digital technology has affected reading. Especially among younger audiences, who are showing a marked preference for digital forms, the author’s findings reveal significant shifts in readership demographics. Among certain age groups, the report shows a worrying decline in conventional reading. On the other hand, it does recognize that the rise of digital platforms has contributed to more engagement with audiobooks and e-books. Reading habits are strongly associated with educational possibilities and access to technology, according to the study, which also links these reading tendencies to larger socio-economic variables and academic accomplishments. The author stresses the importance of reading in creating digitally literate, critically thinking people and suggests specific educational initiatives to increase digital literacy. This larger view sheds light on how reading is evolving and highlights the need for an all-encompassing strategy to promote literacy in the face of fast technological change.
Transformation of the Czech (or Czechoslovak) Economy
Authors: Švihlíková Ilona
Published: July 2024

Analyzing the transformation of the Czech, or Czechoslovak, economy presents a multifaceted challenge. Initially, the analysis includes a concise introduction to the centrally planned economic system, exploring its operations, benefits, and the significant shortcomings that emerged prominently by the late 1980s. The Czechoslovak economy occupied a unique position among CoMECon countries, characterized by dual exports, minimal indebtedness, and a robust industrial foundation. The discussion of the transformation process begins within an international framework, noting that economic transformations have historically unfolded in diverse settings and have been marked by varying economic strategies. It is essential to recognize that the transformation of the Czechoslovak, or Czech, economy occurred against the backdrop of globalization and within the framework of the neoliberal doctrine, as articulated by the Washington Consensus. Key components of this transformation included the privatization and liberalization of the domestic economy and trade. These aspects receive significant attention and highlight that transformation marked a critical juncture in socio-economic development and established the trajectory for future growth. The decisions made in the early 1990s continue to exert influence over the Czech economy, affecting aspects such as the ownership structure and exchange rate settings. Overcoming these influences poses considerable challenges. The lessons from the transformation period extend beyond mere resignation to the outcomes of that era. They serve as vital insights, particularly in a context where it is evident that the model reliant on the influx of foreign capital has reached its limits and that the current international environment significantly differs from that of the 1990s.
Historical and Personal Time in Mariana Marin’s Poetry
Authors: Manolachi Monica
Published: July 2024

Romanian poet Mariana Marin (1956–2003) made her debut in 1981 and published her last collection in 2002, an interval that covers about one decade of communism followed by one decade of transition to democracy. Like a litmus test, her poetry, known for its existential radicalism and authentic textualism, reflects the cultural acidity of despotism and its crippling effects on individuals. Her courage to express the truth in poetry situates her among the poets interested not only in their own private aesthetic experiences, but also in the role of literature as a form of protest and a cultural instrument. Contrary to what some contemporaries living in diaspora or in Romania said about her, she did not consider herself a political dissident, but a nonconformist writer, member of the 1980s generation. She wrote against the fosilization of the communist regime, marked by limitations, oppression and imposture, trying to conceive an imaginary universe that reflects and transforms these realities by adopting a concise style accessible to any reader. This paper aims to explore the ways in which Mariana Marin combined her acute sense of history with her unique perspective of personal time in several poems published before and after 1989.
The National Language and History Revival Movement in SSR Moldova at the Time of the Perestroika
Authors: Tărîță Marius
Published: July 2024

As some of those involved in the movement for the revival of the national dignity during the late 1980s are still active on the political arena, a complete and unbiased analysis of the phenomenon is impossible. Only those who had been successful in the 1990s were to be recognized as public figures later on and were to be also included in historical accounts, whereas everybody else was ignored and forgotten. This article explores the profiles of those humanities and sciences professionals who, as part of a diverse group of advocates, initiated and contributed in earnest to the revival of national identity in ssr Moldova. It all started in the early days of Perestroika1, on the 10th of May 1987, when the Sovetskaya Moldavia newspaper published an article by Leonid Bulmaga and Ion Țurcanu. They were asking for a revision of some rarely or never mentioned periods of the ssr Moldova history as well as the rewriting and publication of a national handbook of history. Except for some reactions in July 1987, there was no follow-up to this initiative. Only in September 1988 a group of sixty-six intellectuals signed a letter of appeal for the revival of the Moldovan language, which is identical to the Romanian language. Very few of them were to draw any material profit from the disintegration of the ussr, which was to occur after a few years. Most of them faded into anonymity after 1991. One of them is Vlad Pohilă, a linguist with high professional and moral standards. In 1989 he had edited and published the first issues of the “Glasul” [The Voice] newspaper, which used Latin characters instead of the Russian alphabet imposed by ussr during World War Two. This article focuses on the extended group of advocates to which Vlad Pohilă belonged, a movement whose mission was to reinstate the Moldovan language and to recuperate those periods in national history which had been ignored in the post-war period.
