Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about sudden changes in pedagogical strategies in higher education. How faculty processed these changes, as well as their lived experiences during these shifts, has informed fundamental shifts in higher education that will last long into the future. The aim of this phenomenological investigation was to explore the lived experience of new and experienced faculty at one midwestern university during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a qualitative phenomenological study using a stratified purposive sample, through learning management virtual LMS tours and semi-structured interviews, investigators explored the experiences of 27 new and experienced faculty members across 20 disciplines. Findings included themes of panic and stress, teaching during quarantine (quaranteaching), innovation and technology, acknowledging loss (something lost), giving grace, and carrying new learning forward (something gained). Investigators link findings to the literature, compare and contrast faculty experiences with those of a student, and discuss implications for teaching and research. This study contributes to the literature chronicling the fundamental shifts in higher education occurring as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of these shifts on faculty and students.

Incentive modeling analysis in engineering applications and projects with stochastic duration time
Authors: Zhao J. , Su J.F.
Published: December 2023

Incentives are quite common to be utilized in engineering applications such as some infrastructure development projects or construction projects. Due to the increasing complexity of construction management and the continuing trend towards outsourcing of component or engineering outsourcing activities, we focus on the issue of incentive design. Time collaboration is one of the main focuses of random project duration time in parallel projects. In this article, we consider a setting where a manufacturer outsources two parallel subtasks to two different suppliers, and the manufacturer is time sensitive. On the premise that the project completion time follows the exponential distribution, some models are established to compare the proposed incentives and we get the comparative analysis of the proposed incentives. This paper puts forward three kinds of time-based incentive mechanisms, namely, deadline incentive mechanism, competition mechanism and mixed incentive mechanism. We do modeling analysis for all incentive mechanisms. We get the optimal work rates determined by suppliers and compare various incentive mechanisms to maximize manufacturers' profits.
SLA as an interdiscipline: A bibliometric study
Authors: Chen Meng-Lin
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, research in second language acquisition (SLA) is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary while many technical frontiers and research hotspots have emerged. Many studies focus on interdisciplinary topics, but few in-depth studies have been conducted on interdisciplinarity. This study examined the interdisciplinarity of SLA and the interdisciplinary development process using a bibliometrics approach. The study has found that the SLA discipline has played roles as both the provider and recipient of knowledge in the development of interdisciplines. In the first case, SLA theories and methods flow into the research areas of life sciences and technology to form interdisciplinary studies with brain research, neurology, cognition, computer technology, and engineering, making SLA a provider of knowledge In the second case, SLA research receives knowledge from areas of arts and humanities and social sciences as well as from interdisciplinary studies within its own discipline, making SLA a receiver of knowledge. The new insights into the interdisciplinarity of SLA provided in this study are helpful for our deeper understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of the SLA discipline.

Authors: Sala Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

Tematyka zanieczyszczenia powietrza, wody, gleby należy do najczęściej poruszanych zagadnień związanych z zagrożeniami ekologicznymi. Funkcjonuje ona również doskonale w powszechnej świadomości społecznej. Natomiast inna sytuacja zachodzi w przypadku zanieczyszczeń kosmicznych. Świadomość funkcjonowania kosmicznych śmieci i zagrożeń, jakie mogą sprawiać wśród społeczeństw jest nikła, a często wręcz nieobecna. Wynikać to może z małej popularyzacji wiedzy o problematyce kosmicznej w mediach, jak również z faktu, że zagrożenia tego typu pojawiły się stosunkowo niedawno. Liczba publikacji naukowych poruszających temat kosmicznych odpadków nie należy do obszernych. Luka poznawcza dotyczy także najnowszej wiedzy o zagrożeniach ze strony kosmicznych odpadów i sposobów ich eliminacji. Ujawniona luka poznawcza stanowi powód do poruszenia niniejszej tematyki. Celem niniejszej publikacji jest wykazanie, że kosmiczne śmieci niosą ze sobą niebagatelne zagrożenia ekologiczne na skalę globalną. Jednocześnie istnieją jednak sposoby skutecznego ograniczania tego zjawiska. Publikacja ma również pozytywnie wpłynąć na wzrost świadomości omawianej tematyki wśród społeczeństwa.

Ethical Considerations in Working with Roman Catholic Seminarians and Men and Women in Religious Formation
Authors: Plante Thomas G.
Published: December 2023

There are many ethical challenges when mental health professionals work clinically with Roman Catholic seminarians as well as with men and women in religious formation. This article highlights several of the most prominent ethical issues and challenges confronted by mental health professionals working with these clients. These topics include issues of competence in evaluating, treating, and consulting with seminarians, those in religious life, or those applying to enter religious life. Issues of informed consent must also be considered so that seminarians, religious life clients, applicants, and their religious superiors have clarity about the limits of confidentiality and who maintains the privilege of accessing client information. In addition, professional conflicts can arise when Church expectations may seem challenging to satisfy for professionals trained in a predominantly secular environment. Cultural understanding and appreciation are needed to work with clients from different ethnic and racial groups as well as different religious orders and branches within the Catholic Church. Finally, the role of mental health professionals in the determination of acceptance or rejection into religious life and for ordination is discussed.

This conversation, which took place at The Showroom, London, on March 8, 2022, brings together the sound producer and architect Mhamad Safa and the sonic theorist Gascia Ouzounian in exploring Safa’s work on sound, trauma, and acoustic jurisprudence, with a focus on Beirut and Lebanon. The conversation covers a range of topics, from the differential policing of noise along lines of social difference; to earwitnessing war and conflict; to the long-term unfolding of auditory forms of trauma and “sonic aftershocks.” Safa and Ouzounian discuss the need for better legal frameworks for confronting the harms of sound; what “collateral damage” might constitute in the context of listening to warfare; and what justice would mean for survivors of sonic violence.
Psychogeography in Planning: A New Methodological Approach via Representations of ‘Body , ‘Urban Space and ‘Walking
Authors: İlkay Yasemin
Published: December 2023

Pattern of urban space penetrates the minds and bodies of citizens; this penetration results in a two-folded map: physical and psychogeographic maps. Mental representations enable (re)-reading the invisible components of physical organization through spatial practice. Re-mapping such an authentic spatial knowledge is a crucial but neglected field of enquiry within planning to grasp the gap between ‘what is conceived’ and ‘what is experienced’.
‘Psychogeography’ concentrates on how the environment influences individuals’ feelings and attitudes and therefore –at the intersection of geography and psychology– it presents an epistemological basis to examine such a gap and offers methodological inputs to cover the interrelation among top-down designs of urban space and bottom-up reproductions of ‘the soul’ of the city. Within this context, the main question of the study is “how the representations of walking experience can be used within planning with reference to the two-folded map assumption”. During this examination, theoretical and methodological readings on psychogeography led us to an epistemological baseline, as an initial step to construct a new spatial methodology of the ‘body’ and ‘walking experience’.
The studyk is composed of three sub-sections. Firstly, the gap between ‘physical’ and ‘psychological’ maps is conceptualized. Secondly, the concept of psychogeography is defined as a source and method of spatial knowledge within its deficiencies and potentials. Lastly, the term, Dérive, implying ‘deviation’ and ‘resistance’, is discussed as a methodological path in grasping the gap between physical and psychological maps via the experience of body and conception of the designer.
Green Building Assessment Model for Historic Buildings of Turkey
Authors: Yetkin Elif Gizem , Koç İlhan
Published: December 2023

Grave structures are architectural works reflecting the cultural accumulation, continuity and political power of societies.

 In the context of sustainability, while "green building" certification systems are developing in building productions in the world, new guidelines are also being created. Of course, new guidelines are also being developed on the certification as green buildings within the scope of the protection and restoration of historical buildings that should be specially considered. In this study, it is aimed to create a model that will allow the historical buildings in Turkey to be evaluated in the context of “the green building” concept. With this model, it is considered that historical building conservation practices will contribute positively to the works of restorers in making those heritage sites more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

For the model designed to evaluate historical buildings within the scope of green buildings, historical buildings were handled under 3 groups: a) 1st Group Historical Buildings, b) 2nd Group Historical Buildings and c) Reconstructed Historical Buildings. As creating the designed model, GBC-Italy system criteria were taken as the basis. The criteria were carried out by conducting a questionnaire with experts in this field. Importance of the relevant evaluation criteria in the scoring system were determined by using the AHP method. As a result of the analyzes and calculations, the accuracy of the scoring was confirmed.

As historical buildings are evaluated according to the conditions of their periods, it is obvious that they are sustainable buildings. Naturally, nowadays to be able to preserve historical buildings for the future generations in a proper way is usually ensured by giving them a new function. The requirements of the new functions given to create the necessary equipment to provide today's comfort conditions in historical buildings naturally change the sustainable characteristics of the historical heritage. This evaluation system, designed to preserve the green building characteristics of historical buildings and to ensure their sustainability with their new functions, will be an important guide.

Authors: Noraslı Mehmet
Published: December 2023

In today's world, where consumption is increasing rapidly, the designs of retail stores have gained importance with the increasing competition between institutions. One of the most predominant factors in the contact of the store with the customer is the spatial quality, which reveals the ability of the spatial features to meet user expectations. The study aims to determine the spatial quality indicators in retail stores and to expose the relationship between the importance and performance perception of these criteria among user groups. For this purpose, Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), which has been a user-participated method and has powerful advantages in measuring service quality, was used in the study. In the first stage of the study, we determined the spatial quality indicators (functional, technical, and aesthetic) and sub-indicators by a literature review. The second stage is fieldwork performed in the determined study area, Koçtaş. At this stage, visual data of the study area was obtained, and 119 people (97 customers and 22 personnel) participated in the survey. In the third stage, IPA was used in analyzing the data. In the fourth stage, results were evaluated by supporting the visuals of the space. As a result of the study, the store was weak, especially in terms of aesthetic indicators, and significant differences were perceived by users between the importance and performance of spatial performance indicators. The study will lead up for research on examining the relationship between importance and performance in spaces with different functions by including the user in the process of determining and improving spatial quality.
N. Karasev’s courses in church singing in Vyatka (1903–1904) as an example of a regional musical and educational initiative
Authors: Donskaya Maria
Published: December 2023

This article is devoted to the church singing courses held in the city of Vyatka in 1903 and 1904. Short–term singing courses are one of the forms of musical and pedagogical education, which was widespread in Russia in late XIX - early XX century. The organizers of the courses and teachers at them were famous musical figures. The purpose of this article is to expand information about church singing courses in Russia and the musical and pedagogical activities of A.N.Karasev. Karasev, an outstanding music teacher, regent and author of numerous manuals on church singing, was invited to Vyatka to organize folk singing activities. During 1903 and 1904, he organized three streams of singing courses in the city. The main objectives of the courses were to train the leaders of folk choirs for the Vyatka province and to train teachers to teach church singing in schools. Teachers and regents from different counties of the Vyatka province came to the courses. There were no professional musicians among them. During the courses, students studied music theory, learned to sing by notes, trained to manage a choir, studied spiritual and secular chants, and learned to play the violin. Theoretical classes were closely connected with practice. In total, about 300 people were trained at the courses. Students of the courses have achieved great success in a relatively short time. Their achievements are confirmed by the results of final exams, surveys about their subsequent activities, testimonies of clergy and people who checked schools. The article discusses in detail the circumstances of the emergence of courses, as well as some organizational and pedagogical features. Vyatka singing courses are an example of a regional musical and pedagogical initiative, the successful implementation of which became possible thanks to the support of representatives of state, church and educational institutions, the pedagogical system and the work of the course leader, the motivation of the listeners.
Some ideas of organic criticism of Apollon Grigoryev in the psychological and pedagogical concept of ethical art criticism of the 1970s
Authors: Gubareva Oksana
Published: December 2023

At the end of the 1960s, the USSR put forward the task of educating a harmonious and comprehensively developed personality in connection with the transition from socialism to communism. A grandiose state project was launched in the country to educate a new person and develop universal aesthetic and museum literacy, which led to the museum boom of the 60-70s. The scientific result of the educational activity was the emergence of a new direction in art criticism, focused on the explanation of fine art to an unprepared viewer. The author of the article calls this direction "ethical", since its distinctive feature was the assertion of the ethics of art and science about it. The scientists set and solved the task of studying various social groups and developing a language understandable to everyone, teaching perception and understanding of works of art, the development of aesthetic sense and visual intelligence. The art historians of the Russian Museum justified the need to involve various psychological techniques to include art in the lives of as many people as possible, for which the first department of socio-psychological research in the USSR was established in 1974. When studying the concept of ethical art criticism, parallels with the ideas of organic criticism of Apollon Grigoriev, which are considered in the article, are vividly highlighted. Returning to the theme of the organic ethics of art, the unity of the ethical and aesthetic at a new turn of Russian history speaks of its importance for Russian culture.

The Impact of Perceived Procedural Justice on Dimensions of Customer Citizenship Behaviours: The Mediating Effect of Customer Perceived Support
Authors: Ali Ahmed Hassaan , Song Jing
Published: December 2023

The present study examines the influence of perceived procedural justice (PPJ) on four fundamental dimensions of customer citizenship behaviours (helping other customers, advocacy, customer tolerance, and feedback) and the mediating role of customer perceived support (CPS). Our research setting is the smartphone after-sales service sector in China. Structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS is employed to empirically test our hypotheses on the basis of survey data from 368 smartphonecustomers. We find that PPJ significantly contributes to the customer citizenship behaviours of helping other customers, advocacy, and feedback. Surprisingly, we do not find a significant relationship between PPJ and customer tolerance. Our evidence indicates that CPS partially mediates the relationships between PPJ and helping other customers, advocacy, and feedback, but fully mediates the effect of PPJ on customer tolerance. This research contributes to managers’ understanding of how voluntary behaviours can be effectively managed by enhancing PPJ and CPS. Further, it enriches our theoretical understanding of key antecedents of customer citizenship behaviours.

On maximality of some solvable and locally nilpotent subalgebras of the Lie algebra $W_n(K)$
Authors: Efimov D.I. , Sydorov M.S. , Sysak K.Ya.
Published: December 2023

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero,  $P_n=K[x_1,\ldots ,x_n]$  the polynomial ring, and  $W_n(K)$  the Lie algebra of all $K$-derivations on $P_n$.   One of the most important subalgebras of $W_n(K)$ is the triangular subalgebra $u_n(K) = P_0\partial_1+\cdots+P_{n-1}\partial_n$, where $\partial_i:=\partial/\partial x_i$ are partial derivatives on $P_n$ and $P_0=K.$ This subalgebra consists of locally nilpotent derivations on $P_n.$ Such derivations  define automorphisms of the ring $P_n$ and were studied by many authors. The  subalgebra $u_n(K) $ is contained in another interesting subalgebra $s_n(K)=(P_0+x_1P_0)\partial_1+\cdots +(P_{n-1}+x_nP_{n-1})\partial_n,$ which  is solvable of the derived length $ 2n$ that is the maximum derived length of solvable subalgebras of $W_n(K).$ It is proved that $u_n(K)$  is a maximal locally nilpotent subalgebra and $s_n(K)$ is a maximal solvable subalgebra of the Lie algebra $W_n(K)$.

The Impact of Data Augmentation Techniques on the Recognition of Script Images in Deep Learning Models
Authors: Sapitri Wulan , Kunang Yesi Novaria , Yadi Ilman Zuhri , Mahmud Mahmud
Published: December 2023

Deep learning technology is widely used for recognizing character images, including various regional characters and diverse ancient scripts. Deep learning models require large data sets to recognize images accurately. However, creating a dataset has limitations in terms of quantity, including the Komering script dataset used in this study. Data augmentation techniques can be applied to expand the dataset by modifying existing images to increase data diversity. This study aims to investigate the impact of augmentation techniques on the performance of deep learning models in the case of Komering script recognition. The dataset consists of 500 images for five classes of Komering script characters. Three augmentation techniques, namely random rotation, height shift, and width shift, were applied to the five characters, which were then used to test the model trained to recognize characters in the Komering dataset. This research contributes to providing insights into the effect of augmentation techniques on robust confidence prediction of deep learning models for recognizing newly augmented data. The results demonstrate that the deep learning model can recognize modified data using augmentation techniques with an average accuracy of 80.05%.
Classification of Bulughul Maraam Categories: Prohibitions, Recommendations, and Information Using Extreme Learning Machine and Fasttext
Authors: Handayani Rissa , Najiyah Ina , Wisnuwardana Dirga
Published: December 2023

Hadith is the second source of Islamic law after the Quran. After the hadiths were compiled, Imam of Hadith created collections of hadiths, one of which is Imam Bukhari who compiled the book Bulughul Maraam, which is considered to have the highest level of authenticity. Digital collections of hadiths can now be found in the form of e-books and web pages, which help in the search for hadiths. The classification of hadiths is necessary to organize them by category, making it easier to search for hadiths based on their categories. Text mining is needed to classify hadiths because it can identify patterns in unstructured text. This research aims to improve the accuracy of classifying recommended, prohibited, and informational hadiths using a dataset of 7008 hadiths, which consists of primary data taken from the book Bulughul Maraam in the Indonesian language. Previously, similar research was conducted in 2017 that classified recommended, prohibited, and obligatory hadiths with an accuracy of 85%, but only for Sahih Bukhari hadiths. In this research, the same classification categories will be examined, proposing a different method, namely the Extreme Learning Machine method and Word2vec Fasttext for text representation with a larger dataset. The results of this research show a model accuracy of 86.31%, 86% precision, and 87% recall, indicating that the proposed model performs well in classifying hadiths.
Implementation of Dynamic Topic Modeling to Discover Topic Evolution on Customer Reviews
Authors: Hananto Valentinus Roby
Published: December 2023

Annotation and analysis of online customer reviews were identified as significant problems in various domains, including business intelligence, marketing, and e-governance. In the last decade, various approaches based on topic modeling have been developed to solve this problem. The known solutions, however, often only work well on content with static topics. As a result, it is challenging to analyze customer reviews that include dynamic and constantly expanding collections of short and noisy texts. A method was proposed to handle such dynamic content. The proposed system applied a dynamic topic model using BERTopic to monitor topics and word evolution over time. It would help decide when the topic model needs to be retrained to capture emerging topics. Several experiments were conducted to test the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed framework. It demonstrated how a dynamic topic model could handle the emergence of new and over-time-correlated topics in customer review data. As a result, improved performance was achieved compared to the baseline static topic model, with 25% of new segmented texts discovered using the dynamic topic model. Experimental results have, therefore, convincingly demonstrated that the proposed framework can be used in practice to develop automatic review annotation tools.
Searching for a new formula of a state: international discourse on deliberative democracy
Authors: Sokalska Edyta
Published: December 2023

The idea of civil society has became one of the most important premises of deliberative democracy. The question concerning the best model of democracy is still present in the international political and scientific discourse. The contemporary research approach to deliberative democracy referred to as the ‘systemic turn’ exposes three factors: the search for opportunities to develop and promote deliberation on a mass scale; the emphasis on the division of tasks and activities among participants within the system; the introduction of a certain continuum to the criterion of deliberation linking the multiplicity of institutions and the processes that occur among them. It is significant that many researchers confirm that thanks to  deliberative methods and tools, the legitimacy of local government activities is strengthened. Identified shortcomings of deliberative democracy at the local level (potential institutional neutralization of activists’ activities, participatory frustration or widespread incompetence of citizens participating in deliberation) have become contribution to the discussion on the further directions of development of this form as well as possibilities for its improvement.

Authors: Kargol Tomasz
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the role of wayside chapels, statues, and crosses in the religious life of the parish in Szczepanów. By utilizing manuscript sources from the parish archives, cartographic sources, and detached structures, the author was able to determine the number, distribution, and functions of small sacral architecture. In the 19th century, dozens of structures were recorded, funded by the local residents and communities as expressions of gratitude for graces received and as memorials to places associated with the cult of St. Stanislaus. Among the prevalent religious motifs were the Passion of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and various saints, including the patron saints of the benefactors and St. Stanislaus of Szczepanów, portrayed as a bishop performing the miracle of resurrecting the deceased knight Peter (Piotrowin).
"Komedia" Apolla Nałęcz-Korzeniowskiego wczoraj i dziś (rozważania na temat miejsca utworu w literaturze)
Authors: Samsel Karol
Published: December 2023

"Komedia" Apolla Nałęcz-Korzeniowskiego wydaje się aż po dziś dzień utworem niedostatecznie albo wręcz – niewłaściwie – sproblematyzowanym. Problemy zaczynają się już na etapie dyskusji o gatunkowej przynależności tekstu: czy to dramat obyczajowy, czy stylizowana nieco po schillerowsku – w duchu "Intrygi i miłości" – nowoczesna, kupiecko-przemysłowa tragedia? Mimo zupełnej trafności sądu Romana Taborskiego o podobieństwach formalnych pomiędzy "Komedią" a "Fantazym" Juliusza Słowackiego, nie zwrócono żadnej uwagi na powstające w tym samym czasie dojrzałe dramatopisarstwo Aleksandra Fredry (np. na "Wychowankę"), a to właśnie – jak wiele na to wskazuje – intrygująca oraz inspirująca para porównawcza dla wciąż domagającej się trafnego literaturoznawczego komentarza sztuki Korzeniowskiego.
Shangri-La as a utopia, sacred place, and a prison in James Hilton’s "Lost Horizon"
Authors: Warchał-Leśniakowska Małgorzata
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this paper is to explore James Hilton’s Lost Horizon in the context of its utopian character and historical and mythical parallels that make up its setting, Shangri-La, as a refuge, but also a paradoxical prison. This study delves into the historical and cultural context of the Western imagination's portrayal of Tibet as a sacred and mystical place and places it within the context of British imperialism, emphasising the misconceptions and romanticised notions associated with the country. The paper also explores the sources and inspirations behind Hilton's setting and characters, highlighting the connection between Hilton's Shangri-La and the mythical Tibetan kingdom of Shambhala.

Bamboos are widely distributed in a variety of habitats in the Central Highlands. Different researchers treat species differently, leading to ambiguous reporting of generic and infrageneric taxa. Following extensive research, this paper is an updated enumeration report on the bamboos that have been found there. The result has recorded 29 species of bamboo belonging to 15 genera. The Bambusoideae grow naturally in almost all regions, in an altitudinal range that extends from 200 m up to 2,160 m. Bamboo in the Central Highlands is distributed in three vegetation types: degraded natural forests in valleys and mountain gorges, along rivers (twenty-one species); primary forest, mixed with broadleaved trees (six species); and dry dipterocarp forest (two species).

A new method for assessing the quality of fibre coating based on a combination of fluorescence microscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance is presented in this work. An influence of the carboxymethylcellulose/polyvinylamine gel preparation method on the mobility of the spin label was established. The mobility of the spin label changes from 3.5 ns in the case of a polyvinylamine solution to 12.8 ns in the case of a cross-linked gel on the surface of the glass fibre. A qualitative relationship was found between the mobility of the spin label in the gel applied to the glass fibre and the rate of spreading of crude oil over its surface. This method can be used to make membranes for the separation of water-in-oil emulsions.

Currently, in many Asian and European countries, a group of mushrooms has been distinguished, which, due to their medicinal and/or dietary properties, are referred to as medicinal mushrooms. Hypsizygus marmoreus is a species valued for its proven nutritional and healing properties. In the scientific literature available so far, mainly from Asian countries, it is possible to find research on the therapeutic effect of H. marmoreus. Biologically active substances, their presence, and in particular, their level in this species have not been the subject of extensive research. The aim of the present review is to describe and summarize the dietary and therapeutic potential of this increasingly popular species among consumers in European countries. Because H. marmoreus is a species with known dietary and health-promoting properties, this species of wood fungi could be commonly obtained from cultivation in European countries.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy In Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder: A Case Report

Published: December 2023

Domestic violence is common in Turkey and can lead to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective approach for treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It has been found that there are various reasons for the development of social anxiety disorder. Therefore, it can be evaluated by considering details such as life history, personal characteristics, the environment in which anxiety is experienced, and a lack of skills. CBT has also been found to be an effective method of reducing social anxiety. In this study, a 16-year-old patient who developed PTSD after witnessing long-term violence against her mother and recovered as a result of CBT is presented. In addition to PTSD symptoms, the patient reported that she felt significant anxiety and fear in many social situations where she could be evaluated by people, and that she engaged in safety and avoidance behaviors. CBT was administered for these complaints, and her symptoms improved significantly.

Introduction. The foreign economic activity of Russia is significantly changing in the current geopolitical context. At the same time, the Russian regions are unevenly integrated into foreign markets. Purpose. The paper aims at assessing trade openness of the regions in terms of their transformations with the focus on the border regions which are considered to be potential leaders of the foreign trade. Materials and Methods. Trade openness of the Russian regions was analyzed with statistical indicators for exports and imports in 2010, 2015, and 2021. A hierarchical cluster analysis defined typology by the regions’ openness. This methodological approach deepened the analysis of the regions’ trade openness, including the border ones, and helped to comply cartographic models for the spatial organizations of the regions in question. Results. The study shows a relative stability of the leading, middle and lagging regions by their trade openness for the period under review. The leaders were characterized as the regions with high socio-economic indicators and developed infrastructure, as well as the cities of federal significance, while the regions with low indicators for socio-economic development turned out to be the outsiders. From a geographical perspective, changes in foreign trade activity in general and in different parts of the border are determined. The border location opportunities turned out to be not fully implemented in many parts of the border, although the study revealed that the regions located in various sections of the border showed the highest level of trading activity in time periods under analysis, which could also be explained by the geopolitical factor. Conclusion. The results of the study demonstrate the transformation of the Russian space in terms of the regions’ economic openness. The proposed methodological tools can be used to continue monitoring these changes, especially in the current period of geopolitical shocks, to develop the most appropriate management decisions in setting the goals and priorities of foreign economic policy, including the ones at the regional level.
The relationship between deferred taxes and current income tax accruals
Authors:   Kuban State University, Aksent’ev Andrei A.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Accounting standards currently apply the principle imposing a 100 % probability of the existence of tax cash outflows on balance sheet deferred tax liabilities. However, this relationship has not been proven either theoretically or empirically in the accounting research literature, which determines the relevance of this study. Purpose. The paper aims at testing the hypothesis which states that the reversal of deferred tax liabilities always increases income tax accruals. In order to achieve this goal, among other things, the relationship between the reversal of deferred tax assets and the change in current tax accruals was examined. Materials and Methods. Traditional statistical analysis and standard techniques of econometric analysis were used – linear regressions and correlation matrices were constructed. Hypothesis was tested in the Russian organizations which reported under the 2012–2018 Russian accounting rules. Results. At the “assets” scaling base, a 1 % increase in taxable temporary differences on average reduces taxable profit of the Russian organizations by almost 60 % (with a one-year lag – by 43 %). Restoration of deductible temporary differences at the “accounting profit before taxation” scaling base by 1 % on average leads to a 53.7 % decrease (with a one-year lag – by 67.8 %) in the taxable profit of the Russian organizations. Conclusion. Recovery of an active deferred tax position has a more tangible impact on the change in taxable profit than reversal of a passive position. The developed methodological schemes assess the deferred tax position of companies, as well as compare them with each other by the level of accruals of profit tax and determine the reasons for their relative overstatement or understatement. Theoretical significance consists in the refutation of the principle laid down in paragraph 16 of IAS 12 Income Taxes, which indicates the relevance of clarifying the economic content of deferred taxes in accounting standards.
