Psikolojik Dayanıklılık ve Stresle Başa Çıkmada Anlam Algısı Oluşturma Modellerinin Rolleri
Authors: Dursun Karslı Pınar , Karslı Temel Alper
Published: November 2024

Anlamlı yaşam, yaşamlarında bir amacın, önemin ve bir misyonun olduğu duygusu ile bireylerin yaşamlarını anlamlveırmaları deneyimidir. İnsanlar hem anlam sahibi olmak hem de hayatta anlam aramak için motive olurlar. Nitekim, pozitif psikoloji akımının da etkisiyle son yirmi yılda artan çalışmalar, insanların yaşamlarında anlam olduğundan ve yaşadıklarından bir anlam çıkardıklarında, psikolojik ve fiziksel olarak daha sağlıklı ve daha dayanıklı olduklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Öte yandan, kişinin yaşamındaki anlam eksikliğinin ve anlam arayışının alkol-madde ve davranışsal bağımlılıklar, depresyon, ölüm kaygısı, intihar gibi pek çok psikolojik bozukluk göstergeleriyle ilişkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Yaşamda anlam sahibi olmanın psikolojik dayanıklılık elde etmenin bir aracı olmasının dışında anlam oluşturma modeli bakımından aynı zamanda stres ve travmayla başa çıkma bağlamında da önemlidir. Nitekim, bireyler önemli bir kayıp ya da ciddi bir zorluk karşısında kaldıklarında, bu durumu anlamakta güçlük çeker, belirsizlik ve güvensizlik yaşarlar. Varolan durumsal ve global anlam sistemleri bozulur ya da sekteye uğrar. Bu nedenle, yaşadıkları zorlukları ya da travmatik deneyimleri aşmak için anlam sistemlerini yeniden oluşturmak ve inşa etmek zorunda kalırlar. Ancak bu stresli olaylar karşısında, yeniden anlamı bulmak ya da oluşturmak, insanları daha fazla zorlukla başa çıkmaya ve sonunda yaşamları üzerindeki kontrolü yeniden kazanmaya teşvik eder. Bu geleneksel derleme yazısında amacımız, güncel araştırma bulguları eşliğinde, önce yaşamda anlam literatüründe yer alan önde gelen modellerden ve özellikle stres ve travma literatüründe etkili olan anlam oluşturma modellerinden bahsetmektir.

Authors: Iglesias Cruz Ana Zulima , Ramos Gutiérrez Mercedes , Quintana Paz Nuria
Published: November 2024

Introducción: Este trabajo plantea un patrón de análisis que permite valorar la calidad informativa de los directos. Más concretamente, propone un modelo de estudio que evalúa cómo es el tratamiento jurídico y periodístico de la información en directo en los noticiarios de las televisiones generalistas españolas. Metodología: Para elaborarlo se ha realizado una revisión de los diferentes planteamientos que, con anterioridad, han evaluado la calidad de los programas informativos y, en concreto, de las coberturas ‘en vivo’. A partir de ello, se ha diseñado un modelo basado en el método del análisis de contenido con un propósito descriptivo. Así, se han concretado siete indicadores con los que clasificar y evaluar el contenido de este formato de noticia: la esencia del directo, su grado de profundización, el tratamiento jurídico de la información, la duración, el tratamiento de las fuentes, la actualización y la procedencia de la información. Para la calificación, se ha optado generalmente por una escala ordinal con tres valores: alto, medio y bajo. Resultados y discusión: El resultado es un patrón de análisis con el que no solo se puede medir la calidad periodística de los directos televisivos, sino también su diligencia profesional desde un punto de vista jurídico.

Metodología:  La metodología hace uso de series de tiempo Box Jenkins ARIMA y de comparación de medias. Los datos se midieron a las 07:00 am, 12:00 pm y 18:00pm, iniciando en enero de 2015 hasta diciembre del 2020. Los datos se analizaron y procesaron con la ayuda de la inteligencia artificial incorporada al software RStudio. Resultados: Los resultados, evidencian que la temperatura del suelo está correlacionada con la temperatura ambiental. Discusión: Las pruebas de bondades de ajuste para los coeficientes y supuestos validaron el modelo ARIMA observado y esperado. Además, los criterios AIC y BIC se utilizaron para escoger el mejor modelo predictivo. Conclusiones: En conclusión, la inteligencia artificial identificó que la predicción de las temperaturas ambiental y del suelo son simuladas adecuadamente a través de un modelo ARIMA(0,1,1)(0,1,1)[12], con componentes de tendencia y estacionalidad; afirmando un modelo de series de tiempo no estacionario. Se llega a determinar que, la temperatura tiene una pequeña variabilidad por cada periodo de tiempo, pero en aumento, y en lo posterior probablemente este factor climático se convierta en un determinante del calentamiento global.

Authors: Jemli Khairi , Segura Cabañero Jesús , Simó Mulet Toni
Published: November 2024

Introducción: El movimiento por el derecho a la ciudad surge como respuesta a las políticas urbanísticas excluyentes que han caracterizado el desarrollo urbano en muchas partes del mundo. Este movimiento, impulsado por pensadores como Guy Debord, Asger Jorn, Jane Jacobs, David Harvey y Henri Lefebvre, propone un enfoque centrado en las necesidades humanas y la vida comunitaria en la configuración de los espacios urbanos. Metodología: El análisis se basa en una revisión teórica de las ideas fundamentales propuestas por los autores influyentes del movimiento. Se examinan sus críticas hacia las políticas urbanísticas desfavorables y su impacto en los entornos urbanos y sociales. Resultados: El movimiento encuentra su fortaleza en la denuncia de políticas que priorizan el lucro sobre las necesidades de la comunidad. Estas prácticas han generado la degradación de barrios y la exclusión socioeconómica, evidenciando la falta de planificación urbana inclusiva. Conclusiones: Los fundamentos teóricos del movimiento por el derecho a la ciudad destacan la necesidad de reorientar las políticas urbanísticas hacia modelos inclusivos que promuevan la diversidad, la solidaridad vecinal y la participación ciudadana como pilares para entornos urbanos más equitativos y sostenibles.

Authors: García Vega Alba , Barrajón Lara Iris , Martínez Borda Rut , Infante Pineda Sara
Published: November 2024

Introducción: La investigación tiene como objetivo analizar cómo la distribución de contenido mediante la creación de perfiles de los personajes de ficción en redes sociales contribuye al proceso de inmersión narrativa de la audiencia. Para ello, se toma como objetos de estudios las series de ficción SKAM España y #Luimelia, dos series que suponen un fenómeno social fomentado principalmente por la distribución de contenido y participación en redes sociales. Metodología: Se ha empleado un enfoque cualitativo basado principalmente en perspectivas ecológicas y etnográficas y en la antropología digital. Resultados: Los principales resultados suponen la reconstrucción comparativa de ambas series, para analizar en qué medida han favorecido los contenidos de los perfiles ficticios en redes sociales a la inmersión narrativa de la comunidad. Discusión: La creación de perfiles ficticios de los personajes de las series de ficción contribuye a la inmersión narrativa mediante la identificación tanto personal como emocional de la audiencia y la mimetización del tiempo y espacio real y narrativo durante el proceso de consumo. Conclusión: Representar una realidad ficcionada en la que los sucesos narrativos convergen con las prácticas sociales de la realidad de los espectadores, ofrece la posibilidad de una inmersión narrativa natural y espontánea.
Smart if Honest: Evaluation of Legal and Illegal Tax Behaviors of Employees and Entrepreneurs
Authors: Kołodziej Sabina
Published: November 2024

Aim: The drive to minimize the amount of taxes paid is interpreted as concern for self-interest, which is one of the fundamental motives for action and social perception. Utilizing the opportunity to evade taxes, however, may involve distorting the moral evaluation of such behavior to maintain a positive self-image. The aim of the presented study was to analyze social evaluations of legal versus illegal means of reducing tax payments, considering the perspective of the person making the evaluation. Due to the differences between the legal and illegal methods for reducing the amount of taxes paid available to employees and entrepreneurs, the study included scenarios referring to both of these groups of taxpayers.
Method: The study was conducted using the CAWI methodology on a sample of Polish taxpayers (N = 223). A custom questionnaire was used, containing brief descriptions of four tax scenarios differing in the legality of the action taken and the characteristics of the person undertaking it. Respondents were asked to evaluate the presented behaviors on a semantic differential scale: smart – not smart.
Results: Respondents rated legal tax reduction as smarter than illegal tax evasion. However, in the case of both legal reduction of taxes and tax evasion (illegally avoiding paying taxes), the evaluation depended on whether the described taxpayer was an employee or an entrepreneur. In the case of evaluating legal tax reduction, it also depended on the respondent's form of employment. A more positive assessment of the actions of one's own professional group only applied to entrepreneurs avoiding taxes.
Conclusion: Legal and illegal methods of reducing taxes are socially distinguished, with more positive evaluations for behaviors that comply with the law, regardless of whether the individual reducing taxes was depicted as an employee or an entrepreneur. The study results do not support the hypothesis of egocentric distortion in the assessments of the analyzed tax behaviors of employees and entrepreneurs.
Games in the Relationship Between the Individual and the State as a Manifestation of a Deformation of Civic Identity
Authors: Khazratova Nihora , Petrovska Inha
Published: November 2024

Goal: The article aims to present the concept of capturing civic identity, and in particular, its relationship with the state, in the subject-object paradigm as a game.
Methods: Eric Berne's transactional analysis and the self-agency approach were used as the methodological basis for the author's concept of civic games. We present theoretical models of civic games and an analysis of each game according to Berne's scheme, with a detailed discussion of the players, psychological benefits, main transactions, and exit patterns. The results of the analysis were used to propose a concept of games that deform civic identity and to characterize the games according to Berne's scheme of transactional analysis: “Persecution,’ ‘Patriot,’ ‘Offended,’ ‘Parasite,’ and ‘Heroic worker.’
Conclusion: Games replace a healthy relationship between the individual and the state, which should consist of mutually beneficial and necessary transactions. A game provides each player with psychological profit if a healthy exchange is impossible. The analysis of the game can broaden the individual's awareness of civic self-realization and provides an opportunity to “get out of the game’ and optimize the relationship with the state.
Automatic Image Style Transfer Using an Augmented Style Set
Authors: Ponamaryov V. V. , Kitov V. V.
Published: November 2024

Image style transfer is an applied task for automatic rendering of the original image (content) in the style of another image (specifying the target style). Traditional image stylization methods provide only a single stylization result. If the user is not satisfied with it due to stylization artifacts, he has to choose a different style. The work proposes a modified stylization algorithm, giving a variety of stylization results, and achieves improved stylization quality by using additional style information from similar styles.
Dual Representation of Geometry for Ray Tracing Acceleration in Optical Systems with Freeform Surfaces
Authors: Zhdanov D. D. , Potemin I. S. , Zhdanov A. D.
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the possibility of using dual geometry representation to improve the speed of ray tracing and ensure the robustness of light propagation simulations in complex optical systems containing free-form surfaces defined by high-order polynomials (up to order 34) or Jacobi polynomials. An analysis was carried out of traditional methods of representing this geometry both in the form of a triangular mesh and in the form of an analytical expression. The analysis demonstrated the disadvantages of traditional approaches, which consist in the insufficient accuracy of calculating the coordinates of the meeting point of the ray with a triangular mesh, as well as the instability of the results of searching for the hit point of tangent rays with the analytically defined surface when using existing calculation methods. As a result, it was proposed to use a dual representation of the geometry in the form of a rough approximation of the surface by a triangular mesh, which is subsequently used as an initial approximation to find the point where the ray hits the surface specified by the analytical expression. This solution made it possible to significantly speed up the convergence of analytical methods and increase their stability. Moreover, using the Intel® Embree library to quickly find the point of intersection of a ray with a coarse triangular mesh and a vector calculation model to refine the coordinates of the point of intersection of the ray with the geometry represented analytically allowed authors to develop and implement a ray tracing algorithm in an optical system containing surfaces with dual geometry representation. Experiments conducted using the developed and implemented algorithm show the significant acceleration of ray tracing while maintaining computational accuracy and high stability of results. The results were demonstrated by calculating the point and flare spread function for two lenses with free-form surfaces defined by Jacobi polynomials. In addition, for these two lenses, the image formed by an RGB-D object simulating a real scene was calculated.
The Derbent Community of Mountain Jews: On the Issue of Group’s Identity [Gorsko-evreiskaia obshchina Derbenta: k probleme samoidentifikatsii]
Authors: Amosova Svetlana
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the forms of Mountain Jewish identity. It is based on the materials of the Derbent community of Mountain Jews. The Derbent community is one of the largest Mountain Jewish communities. Mountain Jews have retained the idea of internal division into ethnoterritorial and dialect groups. There are many stereotypes and autostereotypes that remain important in various areas of the life of this ethnic group. The article examines the following aspects: what groups and subgroups do Mountain Jews distinguish within their community, what stereotypes and autostereotypes exist in relation to these groups, and the ways in which they are formed. The Derbent group turns out to be central in geographical terms and, in this regard, is perceived by many Mountain Jews as a “model” of tradition and language.
Students on the “Web”: Social Media as an Actor in Assembling “Network Spaces” of Educational Migrants in Irkutsk
Authors: LIvanov Kiril , Koreshkova Iuliia
Published: November 2024

The article studies daily online and offline practices by trans-local (Russian) and transnational (Chinese) student migrants in Irkutsk. Drawing on the concept proposed by J. Law, distinguishing between “Euclidean space” and “Network space”, we aimed to explain how migrant students’ participation in various digital chats and groups shapes and stabilizes different networks, determining their everyday practices. We demonstrate that for Chinese students, participation in social media groups becomes the foundation for forming their “Network space”, playing a primary role in its assembly. For Russians, however, social media mainly supplement offline practices, supporting building the “Network space”. Thus, while physically present in the same locations (“Euclidean space”) daily, trans-local (Russian) and transnational (Chinese) students perceive them differently as they simultaneously exist in various “Network spaces”, including those influenced by digital resources.
Brain insulin resistance in neurological disorders of various genesis: current state and treatment approaches
Authors: Zorina I. I. , Shpakov A. O.
Published: November 2024

Nowadays, the phenomenon insulin resistance (IR) has expanded and include not only peripheral, but also central IR. However, the underlying mechanisms and physiological manifestations in the central nervous system differ from those on the periphery, and currently the concept of central IR has undergone significant changes. There are abundant evidences of the development of the nervous tissue weakened response to insulin, which directly or indirectly mediates the etiology and pathogenesis of many neurological disorders. Some molecular mechanisms underlying the decrease in the sensitivity of neurons and glial cells to insulin entering from the bloodstream to the central nervous system have been deciphered. This review is devoted to the analysis of the brain IR mechanisms in mental disorders, ischemic and traumatic brain injuries, anesthesia and postoperative stress, as well as cognitive deficits, including those associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pathological brain conditions caused by central IR are also discussed.

Published: November 2024

During the perinatal period of ontogenesis microglia, take part functions as a critical key-regulator of the angio-, neuro- and synaptogenesis processes. Under normal development, without inflammation induction, administration of the glucocorticoid hormone dexamethasone (0.2 mg/kg) caused a rapid decrease in the mRNA levels of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the brainstem of neonatal rat pups. A decrease in the expression of the Il1b, Tnfa genes was observed within 1 hour, and Il10, Tgfb1 4 hours after the administration of the hormone to 3-day-old rat pups. Suppression of cytokine mRNA levels was accompanied by a decrease in the number of cells expressing the microglia marker protein IBA1 in the locus coeruleus region of the brain stem in 6 hours after glucocorticoid administration. The identified features of the dexamethasone action can weaken the participation of microglia in the processes of neuroplasticity in the developing brain, which may be one of the reasons for long-term changes in brain functioning.

The possibility of replacing iron with cobalt in iron disilicide is studied. It has been shown, that in a wide range of compositions, an attempt to replace iron with cobalt leads to the formation of cobalt silicides. Using the composition Fe0.98Co0.015Si2 as an example, it is shown that during directional crystallization and subsequent annealing of samples, a regular microstructure is formed. Anisotropy of thermoelectric properties is observed along and across the crystallization axis of sample. In the region of low cobalt concentrations, upon transition to pure β-FeSi2, the sing and magnitude of the thermopower change sharply.
Coefficients of light-ion reflection from a solid surface
Authors: Afanas’ev V. P. , Lobanova L. G. , Shulga V. I.
Published: November 2024

An analytical theory of the reflection of light ions from solids is presented. The theory is based on the method of solving the elastic scattering problem (the Oswald–Kasper–Gauckler method), successfully tested in the theory of electron scattering. The solution of a boundary value problem for light ion reflection from solids based on the invariant imbedding method is constructed. Particle interaction with amorphous and polycrystalline samples is considered. Analytical formulas for calculating the integral reflection coefficients of particles and energy are obtained. It is shown that an analytical solution can be obtained only within the framework of a small-angle approximation. Obtained analytical solutions are based on the path length distribution function taking into account the maximum residual range. It was shown that within the framework of an analytical theory the reflection coefficients are determined by two dimensionless parameters — the ratio of the residual range to the transport path length and the screening parameter. The results of theoretical consideration are compared with the data of computer simulation. Numerical calculations are performed for the case of reflection of protons with initial energy E0 = 1–10 keV from Be, C, Cu and W targets for different scattering geometries. The results of the calculated integral reflection coefficients of particles and energy show the satisfactory agreement between analytics and computer simulation.

Unraveling the history of slavery in ancient Indian society
Authors: Hossain Md. Anowar , Sultana Sadia
Published: November 2024

This paper aims to investigate the history of slavery in ancient Indian society. The historical landscape of ancient India was shaped by a sophisticated system of slavery, divergent from the chattel slavery paradigm of the Western world. This nuanced institution, intricately woven into the socio-economic fabric, found its roots in debt bondage, social stratification, and the aftermath of conflicts. Unlike Western models, the absence of racial dimensions in ancient Indian slavery is significant. To analyze these historical aspects, the study employs qualitative methodologies, including the examination of ancient texts, secondary sources, and socio-economic analyses. A comprehensive exploration of this facet of ancient Indian society reveals a profound understanding of the structural dynamics that defined the civilization, highlighting the diverse pathways through which individuals entered servitude.

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal ratio of BMR sorghum, which has a low lignin content, and T. diversifolia, which has a high protein content, as an alternative forage for ruminant feed. The study employed a fully randomized design comprising four treatments and four replications. The experimental treatments included T1 (80% BMR sorghum + 20% T. diversifolia), T2 (70% BMR sorghum + 30% T. diversifolia), T3 (60% BMR sorghum + 40% T. diversifolia), and T4 (50% BMR sorghum + 50% T. diversfolia). This study evaluated diet treatments by observing in vitro nutrient digestibility (including dry matter, organic matter, and crude protein), as well as fiber fraction digestibility (NDF, ADF, cellulose, and hemicellulose), rumen fluid characteristics (pH, NH3, and VFA), gas production (methane gas and total gas), total protozoan population, microbial biomass, and microbial protein synthesis. Compared with the other dietary treatments, the combination of 60% BMR sorghum and 40% T. diversifolia resulted in significantly (P>0.05) greater levels of in vitro nutrient digestibility; NH3, volatile fatty acid (VFA), and total gas production; microbial protein synthesis; and microbial biomass. However, 50% BMR sorghum and 50% T. diversifolia tended to decrease all of the parameters. In conclusion, the combination of 60% BMR sorghum and 40% T. diversifolia as ruminant feed impacts optimal nutrient digestibility, microbial protein synthesis, rumen fluid characteristics, and microbial biomass. Furthermore, this combination effectively decreased methane gas production and protozoan populations.

Authors: Babu V. Hari , Sahayam D. Binu
Published: November 2024

Work-life balance (WLB) entails establishing a harmonic equilibrium between one's professional and personal life. Time and energy management is the conscious practice of balancing work and personal responsibilities while prioritizing self-care and overall well-being. The IT sector has experienced substantial growth and has a prominent position in the nation's economy. The WLB has been prevalent in IT professionals over the years. This paper summarizes the recent status of research by emphasizing important discoveries from the body of extant literature and identifying significant remaining gaps using the PRISMA model. Using the databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Emerald, and Sage, this systematic review aims to analyze all the research conducted between 2011 and 2023 on work-life balance among Indian IT employees.  This review finds various factors affecting WLB in IT employees including organizational policies, gender-specific issues, technostress, burnout, social support, and flexible work options. The findings show that supportive management, psychological freedom, and established flexible work practices can improve WLB and employee happiness. However, major gaps remain, especially in the long-term effect of mixed work settings and the interplay of socio-demographic factors with WLB. Future studies should focus on longitudinal studies, mixed-method approaches, and the success of focused interventions like psychological capital building are analyzed. Thus, addressing these gaps can provide a complete understanding of WLB among IT employees in India by informing better organizational practices and policies to create a healthy and productive workforce in the IT sectors.

Fear of Missing Out FoMO is usually associated with negative things related to a person s mental problems. FoMO often occurs in the digital age, when social media and technology are increasingly advanced, which makes it easy for us to know what other people are doing. The more FoMO research develops, the more influence FoMO has on several fields of science, one of which is the marketing field. Therefore, this study aims to determine what consequences FoMO has on consumer behavior especially in the social media era. This study included the keywords Fear of Missing Out and Consumer as references in the Article title, Abstract, and Keywrds derived from the Scopus database from 2004 - April 2024. Eighty-one documents were found in the data collection. Furthermore, bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer to analyze the data. The research findings show that the influence of FoMO can be viewed from self-determination theory. FoMO is a psychological state that can influence consumer behavior, which in turn affects consumer decision-making, such as purchase intention, impulse purchase, compulsive purchase, overconsumption, and wise purchase concerning sustainable consumption. FoMO can influence consumer decision-making with the help of variables such as social media usage, advertising, scarcity, luxury, materialism, and social media influencers.

Authors: Nguyen Thanh Thai
Published: November 2024

Motivation for pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English plays a crucial role in motivating students to persevere and make efforts to achieve their learning goals. Therefore, investigating the reasons behind students’ decision to pursue a B.A. in English is very necessary to serve as a reference for practical adjustments to curriculum as well as training and teaching practices. Findings from a survey of 121 English-majored students at Thu Dau Mot University, conducted by using a questionnaire, reveal that most students are driven by a combination of instrumental and integrative motivations when deciding to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in English, with instrumental motivation serving as the strongest driving force. Additionally, most students are more motivated by intrinsic factors than extrinsic ones. Furthermore, the findings indicate significant differences in the motivations of students from various backgrounds, with a majority of female students pursuing English for job opportunities and urban students prioritizing proficiency certificates and travel. A generational shift in motivations is also evident among Vietnamese students, who are increasingly less influenced by external factors compared to older generations. These insights can guide educators in designing engaging curricula aligned with students' motivations and inform future research on learning motivation's impact on academic achievement, ultimately fostering a more responsive educational framework.
