Authors: Sophia Obani Ifechidere , Bernard Babatunde Bolaji , Akpu Vincent Ijeoma , onyagbodor Peter Oghogho
Published: July 2023

During the process of extracting crude oil from the subsurface of the earth, drilling fluids play a crucial role. To evaluate the toxic and genotoxic characteristics of used oil-based drilling fluid, experiments were conducted using Clarias gariepinus (a type of fish) and Allium cepa (an onion). Prior to the experiments, the test subjects were acclimatized and stored for a period of 14 days. Following acclimatization and storage, test solutions were prepared in different concentrations based on the results of a range-finding test. After 96 hours of exposure, the LC50 values for the drilling fluid were determined as follows: 71.589% at 24 hours, 96.052% at 48 hours, 96.052% at 72 hours, and 59.508% at 96 hours. The mortality rate was recorded, revealing a direct relationship between the concentration of the drilling fluid and the mortality of the test subjects. The EC50 values also indicated a correlation between root tip-growth inhibition and increased toxicant concentration. Furthermore, histopathological studies conducted on the gills and livers of Clarias gariepinus after 96 hours of exposure revealed noticeable alterations. To analyze the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in the oil-based drilling mud, substances such as Naphthalene, Acenaphthylene, Acenaphthene, Fluorene, Phenathrene, Anthracene, Fluoranthene, Benzo (K), Pyrene, Benz (a) anthracene, Chrysene, Benzo (b) fluoranthene, Benzo (k) fluoranthene, Benzo (a) pyrene, Indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene, Dibenz (a,h), anthracene, and Benzo (g,h,i) perylene were analyzed using GC-MS mode S4 = 71096. These parameters are believed to be responsible for the toxic effects observed in fish and onion root tips. Considering the toxic effects and alterations observed, it is crucial to closely monitor the disposal of drilling fluids after the recovery of crude oil. Compliance with the necessary regulatory standards established by regulatory bodies should be ensured to prevent adverse environmental impacts.

Published: July 2023

The results of the study of the microbiological activity of sod-podzolic soils of varying degrees of hydromorphicity and meadow-chernozem soils under rice are presented. When they are excessively moistened, there is an increase in the number of oily, acid-reducing, sulfate-reducing bacteria, anaerobic bacteria of the genus Clostridium, a decrease in catalase activity, an increase in the activity of nitrate reductase, as well as an increase in the ratio of mobile forms of Fe:Mn. The number of microorganisms was influenced by the introduction of siderates and NPK. It is proved that the regulation of appropriate farming systems allows optimizing soil fertility levels. The introduction of KNO3, J, Mo, Mn into the soil also had a positive effect on soil fertility. Keywords: SOIL, ANAEROBIOSIS, MICROORGANISMS, OGLENIE, OPTIMIZATION

Published: July 2023

С 1980-х годов в Великобритании принципы урбанизма значительно изменили города в контексте формирования общественных пространств мирового класса для обеспеченных социальных групп. Количество исследований перформативной роли общественных пространств все еще ограниченно. Проанализировано влияние общественного пространства на социальное равноправие. Исследование проведено с помощью морфологического анализа района, натурных наблюдений и фотографирования. Показано, что общественные пространства мирового класса являются скорее исключительными, чем инклюзивными, предложены стратегии для дальнейших преобразований городской среды.

Published: July 2023

Parallel to the growing knowledge on the principles of effective treatment of offenders, during the last two decades, there has been significant development in the field of risk assessment. However, there is little research on the use of standardized risk assessment procedures in practice. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the individual level of risk and characteristics of the treatment of inmates in the Tuzla Semi-Open Correctional Facility. The sample consisted of 67 inmates of both sexes (70.1% male and 22.9% female), aged from 24 to 67 (M = 40.60; SD = 10.81). Data was collected by analyzing the official records. Results of this study reveals few differences in the treatment of inmates according to their risk level. Statistically significant differences were recorded in 2 of 12 treatment characteristics, namely, an internal classification and the frequency of the individual meeting with a counsellor. These findings indicate the obstacles in the implementation of risk assessment in routine practice.Keywords:inmates, risk assessment, treatment, prison sentence

Authors: Klaić Marko , Tursunović Melis , Jovičić Pelka , Avdić Benjamin , Bratovčić Vesna , Zukić Adis
Published: July 2023

The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of a multidimensional approach to the contextual assessment of learning abilities in students with cerebral palsy. The paper presents a case study of a nine-year-old student with multiple developmental disabilities (cerebral palsy and additional influencing difficulties) attending a regular primary school with an individual educational program (IEP). In order to determine the measures for individualizing the educational process for the student, the assessment of internal conditions and learning abilities was conducted individually within a daily rehabilitation center, while the environmental conditions were observed within the school setting. The evaluation of the assessment results emphasized the significance of conducting assessments in all relevant contexts, as it was the only way to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the student's level of functioning and the necessary measures for improving her learning and participation.Key words: multidimensional assessment, learning abilities, cerebral palsy

Authors: Jusufbašić Samra
Published: July 2023

Pediatricians that, in addition to treating children’s diseases, deal with early growth and development, have a special responsibility in the early detection and diagnosis of speech and language difficulties. Aim of this research was to examine pediatricians’ and pediatric specialists’ familiarity with speech-language development, developmental-behavioral pediatrics, opinions on acquired knowledge at the specialist study on early growth and development and to examine the importance of multidisciplinary approach and cooperation between pediatricians and speech therapists, educators and rehabilitators and psychologists.The sample was comprised of 14 specialists pediatricians and 1 pediatrics resident, who were employed in primary and secondary health care and private practice, from different cities of the Federation of B&H and Republika Srpska. Results of this research have shown that surveyed pediatricians are working with children with difficulties in speech-language development on a daily basis. Respondents have mostly correctly answered all questions related to speech-language development which indicates that they have solid knowledge in this area. Results have shown that most of the respondents is not satisfied with the knowledge obtained from specialist study on early growth and development and that they are not completely familiar with developmental-behavioral pediatrics, but all of the pediatricians have agreed that this field of sub-specialty should be included as a part of our higher education program. When it comes to a multidisciplinary approach and cooperation with speech therapists, educators-rehabilitators and psychologists, respondents support and practice a multidisciplinary approach in the detection and diagnosis of speech and language difficulties.Keywords:opinions of pediatricians, speech-language development, developmental-behavioral pediatrics.
STRUCTURAL CORRELATION BETWEEN MATHEMATICS AND ART IN THE CLASSROOM EDUCATION
Authors: Begović Emina
Published: July 2023

The correlation-integration system, that is, the methodological model, is based on the principle of interdisciplinarity of the sciences, so it establishes a system of intersubject connection, contrary to the traditional isolation of teaching subjects. Thismodel of teaching gives the most answers to students because it enables them to see subjects, phenomena and processes, relationships and connections between them as a part of the overall reality, that is, to structure knowledge from different subject areas into a common whole. The aim of the paper is to point out the importance of the application of structural cross-curricular correlation of certain teaching contents, i.e. to determine whether students of lower years of elementary school can connect knowledge from the field of geometry in mathematics and geometric abstraction in fine arts, in accordance with the current curriculum. Students of the third and fourth years of elementary school in the Tuzla area, in the second semester of the school year 2020/21, participated in the research. The research was conducted with a questionnaire, and the questions were divided into three categories: general data, recognition and naming of mathematical and artistic elements in the analysis of abstract works of art, andreduction of a figurative work of art to basic geometric shapes. The results of the correlation analysis showed, among other things, that children who achieved better results at the end of the previous year, achieved better results at the end of the semester in both subjects (mathematics and fine arts), and were also more successful at observing artistic and mathematical concepts in completely abstract art works. Given that a large percentage of students (65.6%) achieved exceptional achievement, it can be concluded that teachers are engaged when it comes to connecting teaching content, because students can mostly recognize artistic, compositional and mathematical elements in the analysis of abstract works of art. Key words: structural correlation, art and mathematics, geometric abstraction.
Ecofeminism: The Portrayal of Women and Nature in a Passage to India
Authors: Fauzi Khalif Rahma Riesty , Sulistyaningsih Sulistyaningsih
Published: July 2023

This study aims to analyze the types of female characters in A Passage to India by E.M. Forster and reveal how nature can emerge from females' self-consciousness in the novel. With an analytic-descriptive method, this article reveals female characters’ types and how women and nature link each other to emerge their self-consciousness. There are three types of female characters in the novel. They are stubborn and arrogant ladies represented by the British officers' wives, a warm-hearted and kind lady represented by Mrs. Moore, and a knowledgeable and enlightened young lady. Emerging the echoes in Marabar cave as one of the main triggers of incidents in the novel, Forster is trying to connect nature to awaken the main female characters' self-conscious. It deals with ecofeminism in which women and nature cannot be separated. Mrs. Moore was excited to reevaluate social norms and interpersonal interactions while facing the natural mounds that represent the immensity of the cosmos. Meanwhile, Adela had developed into a true person. Adela's feminine consciousness was awakened by echoes of nature, allowing her to finally complete the tough transition from adolescence to adulthood. In his novel, Forster exposed Britain`s failures and planned to find possible ways to transform the underdeveloped mind into the developed one, successfully creating and portraying female characters.Keywords: Ecofeminism, Female self-consciousness
ANALYSIS OF FEMINISM ANALYSIS OF FEMINISM IN THE NOVEL “WOMEN AT POINT ZERO”
Authors: Triandayani  , Sulistyaningsih Sulistyaningsih
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Feminism is a movement of women who struggle against sexist oppression and exploitation by calling for equality and justice. The realization that women had equal rights to mine is what started the campaign. Women face discrimination in society due to norms and traditions. By all means, women cannot accept the social behavior that intimidates them. The study used descriptive qualitative approach. The novel Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El- Sadawi details the difficult circumstances faced by Firdaus, a woman who fought for her rights both  a woman and  a human. Talked  feminism and how women in the novel fought for their rights. Because Firdaus murdered a pimp who tried to price her before being hanged, she was forced to stoop. She didn't worry about dying, but rather, she felt liberated by being alone and without a man. She defends her right to be passive in the face of all accusations in an effort to uphold her femininity.
Examining Youth Participation in Local Governance: The Case of Selected Districts in Ghana
Authors: Titigah Gregory , Yaro David Suaka , Klu Tony Akpene
Published: July 2023

The participation of Ghana’s youth in its democratic governance in recent times cannot be overemphasised. The youth have non-restrictive opportunities to be elected, exercise their franchise and subsequently involve in local and national development activities. The Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) have a stake in the development, implementation and coordination of local and national policies that inure to youth activities and development. The study examines youth participation in governance among three districts in Ghana adopting a mixed research method by combining qualitative and quantitative methods. It used survey questionnaires, focus group discussion and interview for its primary data collection. The research was conducted in three assemblies namely Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly, Awutu Senya District Assembly and Ashaiman Municipal Assembly. In all, 220 persons were targeted as respondents for the quantitative data and 24 for the qualitative data.  A total of 220 questionnaires were administered out of which 140 were completed and returned by respondents while the qualitative interviews were administered to all the 24 respondents.  On development activities, 70 percent of the respondents do not know of any development activities for the youth in the districts. None of the three MMDAs has a tailor-made local policy and programmes on youth development. Consequently, the youth is challenged in relating with the assembly and do not contribute to the decision making and execution of local development plans. There is no specific unit or sub-committee in any of the districts that has the responsibility of overseeing youth development. District Assemblies should develop district specific youth policies or localize national youth policies in order to meet the orientation, aspiration, culture and the world view of the youth in their localities.
Technical note: Improved synthetic routes to cis- and trans-(2-methyloxirane-2,3-diyl)dimethanol (cis- and trans-β-isoprene epoxydiol)
Authors: Frauenheim Molly , Surratt Jason D. , Zhang Zhenfa , Gold Avram
Published: July 2023

Abstract. We report improved synthetic routes to the isomeric
isoprene-derived β-epoxydiols (β-IEPOX) in high yield
(57 %–69 %) from inexpensive, readily available starting compounds. The
syntheses do not require the protection/deprotection steps or time-consuming
purification of intermediates and can readily be scaled up to yield the
target IEPOX isomers in gram quantities. Emissions of isoprene
(2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, C5H8), primarily from deciduous
vegetation, constitute the largest source of nonmethane atmospheric
hydrocarbons. In the gas phase under low-nitric-oxide (NO) conditions,
addition of the atmospheric hydroxyl radical (OH) followed by rapid addition of
O2 yields isoprene-derived hydroxyperoxyl radicals. The major sink
(>90 %) for the peroxyl radicals is a sequential reaction with
the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2), OH, and O2, which is then followed by
the elimination of OH to yield a ∼2:1 mixture of
cis- and trans-(2-methyloxirane-2,3-diyl)dimethanol (cis- and trans-β-IEPOX). The IEPOX
isomers account for about 80 % of closed-shell hydroxyperoxyl
products and are rapidly taken up into acidic aerosols to form secondary
organic aerosol (SOA). IEPOX-derived SOA makes a significant mass
contribution to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which is known to be a
major factor in climate forcing as well as adversely affecting respiratory and
cardiovascular systems of exposed populations. Prediction of ambient
PM2.5 composition and distribution, both in regional- and global-scale
atmospheric chemistry models, crucially depends on the accuracy of
identification and quantitation of uptake product formation. Accessibility
of authentic cis- and trans-β-IEPOX in high purity and in large quantity for
laboratory studies underpins progress in developing models as well as
identification and quantitation of PM2.5 components.
Detrital garnet petrology challenges Paleoproterozoic ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism in western Greenland
Authors: Schönig Jan , Benner Carsten , Meinhold Guido , von Eynatten Hilmar , Lünsdorf N. Keno
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Modern-style plate tectonics is characterised by the
global operation of cold and deep subduction involving blueschist facies and
ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism. This has been a common process since the
Neoproterozoic, but a couple of studies indicate similar processes were
active in the Paleoproterozoic, at least on the local scale. Particularly
conspicuous are extreme ultrahigh-pressure conditions of ∼ 7 GPa at thermal gradients < 150 ∘C GPa−1 proposed for
metamorphic rocks of the Nordre Strømfjord shear zone in the western part
of the Paleoproterozoic Nagssugtoqidian Orogen of Greenland. By acquiring a
large dataset of heavy minerals (n = 52 130) and garnet major-element
composition integrated with mineral inclusion analysis (n=2669) from
modern sands representing fresh and naturally mixed erosional material from
the metamorphic rocks, we here intensely screened the area for potential
occurrences of ultrahigh-pressure rocks and put constraints on the
metamorphic evolution. Apart from the absence of any indications pointing to
ultrahigh-pressure and low-temperature–high-pressure metamorphism, the
results are well in accordance with a common Paleoproterozoic
subduction–collision metamorphic evolution along a Barrovian-type
intermediate temperature and pressure gradient with a pressure peak at the
amphibolite–granulite–eclogite-facies transition and a temperature peak
at medium- to high-pressure granulite-facies conditions. In addition, we
discuss that all “evidence” for ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism proposed
in the literature for rocks of this area is equivocal. Accordingly, the
Nordre Strømfjord shear zone is not an example of modern-style plate
tectonics in the Paleoproterozoic or of very low thermal gradients and
extreme pressure conditions in general.
“Who do you say that I am?” Truth in Narrative Identity
Authors: Pereira Rodrigues Inês
Published: July 2023

The following article explores what notion of truth is possible in Ricœur’s narrative identity. It is motivated by the question of how our identity can be constituted in narratives of self when we are often easily self-deceiving and do not choose the building blocks of our narratives. It explores how our identities are constituted in narrative, with others, in order to see what dimensions of truth this allows. Narrative identity implicates a novel notion of truth that is intrinsically ethical, which gives rise to a set of ethical issues. In particular, a truth of self that occurs in relation to others is open to violence and abuse—our very identity is, to varying degrees, in others’ hands. Butler’s ethics of fragility may offer a positive solution.
De la sagesse poétique à la sagesse pratique. Quelle place pour les poètes et le poétique dans l’anthropologie de l’homme capable ricœurienne ?
Authors: Pierron Jean-Philippe
Published: July 2023

Ricœur n’a cessé d’explorer les liens de la littérature et de la philosophie, du poétique entendu au sens large et de la philosophie pratique. Ces réflexions ont fécondé ses analyses de façon majeure, le concept d’identité narrative – l’adjectif s’entendant aussi dans sa dimension littéraire – en étant un des centres. Mais cette valorisation de la linéarité du récit a parfois donné l’impression d’avoir davantage mis en avant l’importance du roman, délaissant le rôle de la poésie et du théâtre. Cet article se propose d’explorer les liens mutuels entre la sagesse poétique et la sagesse pratique en leur redonnant toute leur place. Il le fait en suivant la manière dont le philosophe a donné une place à la poésie, singulièrement celle de Rilke, et en mettant au jour les différentes stratégies argumentatives (l’exergue, la correspondance, le commentaire) par lesquelles la poésie, et surtout le psaume, éclaire et enrichit la compréhension de ce/celui qui s’engage dans l’action.

Published: July 2023

تتناول يعد غياب العدالة الاجتماعية أحد أسباب هذا الحراك الاجتماعي الثوري الذي شهدته ليبيا وبعض الدول العربية. فمبدأ المساواة وعدم التمييز، وتكافؤ الفرص الذي يمثل حجر الأساس في العدالة الاجتماعية، فقد شهدت ليبيا على مدى عقود، تغيرات محلية واقليمية وعالمية في الوضع الاقتصادي لها . كما هو معروف أن تدهور الأمن الاقتصادي قد أثر سلبا على الأمن القومي في المجتمع الليبي، الأمر الذي يحتاج الى وقفة جادة لدراسة التحديات التي تقابل الاقتصاد الليبي وبالتالي الأمن القومي، حيث أن الأمن الاقتصادي مفتقد لدى شريحة كبيرة من المواطنين بسبب الفقر وانخفاض الدخل، وتراكم المشكلات التي يوجهها المجتمع الليبي على مدار العقود الأربعة الماضية والتي كانت سببا رئيسياً لقيام ثورة السابع عشر من فبراير عام 2011. كما أن هناك علاقة وثيقة بين العدالة الاجتماعية والأمن الاقتصادي. حيث أن التهديدات التي تؤثر على الأمن القومي لا تأتي من الخارج فقط، بل قد تنبع من الداخل نتيجة لسوء السياسات التي تؤثر على انعدام العدالة الاجتماعية في الغذاء والصحة والتعليم والصناعة، وجميع المجالات الاقتصادية التي تؤدي بدورها في رفع نسب البطالة التي تمثل مشكلة ذات حدين اجتماعية واقتصادية، أن الفيصل فى تأثير التهديدات الخارجية والداخلية هو ما يُسمى "حد الخطر"، الذي تتحول بعده مشكلة عادية إلى مشكلة أمنية، وبالنظر الى الأعوام المنصرمة منذ اندلاع ثورة السابع عشر من فبراير 2011، نرى تطبيقا فعليا لهذه المهددات الخارجية والداخلية التي أصبحت تهدد قضايا العدالة الاجتماعية والأمن علي المستوي الاقتصادي والقومي عموما. وبذلك فأن العدالة الاجتماعية الناتجة عن التوزيع العادل للدخل هي من أهم أسباب تحقيق الامن الاقتصادي. وبناء علي ذلك تهدف هذه الدراسة في الوقوف على أهمية الدور الذي تقوم به العدالة الاجتماعية في تحقيق الامن الاقتصادي والقومي بشكل عام ، وتسليط الضوء على المفاهيم المتعلقة بالعدالة الاجتماعية ، وأهم مرتكزاتها ، والتطرق لتجارب بعض  الدول في تطبيقها لمفهوم العدالة الاجتماعية ، بالإضافة إلي آليات تحقيقها ومعوقات تطبيقها في المجتمع الليبي . وبالتالي فان السؤال البحثي الرئيسي هو: ما هو دور العدالة الاجتماعية في تحقيق الامن الاقتصادي بالمجتمع الليبي؟ وقد اتبعت الباحثة المنهج الوصفي التحليلي الذي يعتبر أحد أشكال التحليل والتفسير العلمي المنظم لوصف ظاهرة أو مشكلة محددة عن طريق جمع البيانات والمعلومات، وخلاصة ما توصلت إليه الدراسة  أن تطبيق مفهوم العدالة الاجتماعية يعد ضرورة حتمية لحماية وتحقيق الأمن الاقتصادي في الوقت الراهن ، وبناءً على هذه النتائج توصلت الباحثة إلى بعض التوصيات التي يمكن أن تساعد في انهاء حالة النزاع وخلق روح التعاون والسلام بين جميع مكونات المجتمع وتحقيق مبدا المساوة بين افراد المجتمع وبالتالي ضمان أمن الدولة القومي .
Does Attitudes Towards Money Matter? A Mediational Analysis of Job Crafting and Job Satisfaction in School Teachers
Authors: Younas Faiz , Kausar Fareeha , Solomon Vicar
Published: July 2023

The current study aimed to find out relationship between job crafting and job satisfaction in teachers and also to determine whether a teacher's attitude towards money had a mediating role between job satisfaction and job crafting. The following hypotheses were proposed: a) job satisfaction, attitude towards money and co-variances would likely have a significant relationship b) attitude towards money would likely significantly predict job satisfaction; and c) attitude towards money would likely act as a mediator between job crafting and job satisfaction. The sample consisted of 150 school teachers (N=150) with an age range of 20 to 55 years employed via non-probability purposive sampling approach. Assessment measures included Job Crafting Questionnaire (Slemp & Vella-Brodrick, 2013), Money Attitude Questionnaire (Lay & Furnham, 2018) and Job Satisfaction Scale (Macdonald & Macintyre, 1997) with .91, .91 and .89 alpha reliability coefficient respectively. The data was collected online via Google form from the potential participants. Results revealed that the association between money attitude and job satisfaction is not correlated, however, there is a highly significant and positive relationship between job crafting and satisfaction with one's job. Job crafting exhibited a favorable and highly significant prediction of job satisfaction, however, money attitude has no significant results and so do not suggest any prediction of job satisfaction. Moreover, the link between job satisfaction and money attitude was completely mediated by the money attitude. For young adults, researchers, counselors, and educational psychologists; these indigenous results would have substantial implications for awareness, policy making, and future research endeavors.

Authors: Jabeen Shaista , Tahir Saleha
Published: July 2023

The current study aimed to investigate the relationship of family environment and parental bonding with controlling compulsions (cc) of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The study also aimed to investigate the predictive value of family environment and parental bonding for OCD. Sample consisted of 130 diagnosed patients with OCD (65 males & 65 females) within the age range of 20-50 years. Three measures were used to gather data - Family Environment Scale (FES), Parental Bonding Instrument for Mother and Father (FBI-F & PBI-M) and subscale of Obsessions and Controlling Compulsions of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Symptom Checklist (OCDSC). Results showed significant relationship between OCD cc and personal growth and system maintenance dimensions of FES (r = .28** and .21*). Negative correlation between OCD cc and overprotection/controlling in parental bonding of both father and mother was found. However, the relationship was not significant. Further, regression analysis (stepwise) revealed that personal growth dimension of FES and care dimension of PBI (F) were the significant predictors of OCD cc. Overprotection/controlling dimensions of FBI (F) was a negative predictors of OCD cc. Family environment is related with OCD (controlling compulsions). Furthermore, care dimension (F) in PBI is also related with OCD. Personal growth (FES) and father care is related with OCD cc. Overprotection/controlling father (PBI F) was negatively related with OCD cc. Personal growth, care father and less overprotection/controlling father was found to be the best model to predict OCD cc.

The ecological changes i.e., global warming and climate change is uprising the apprehensions regarding environment degradation in the developing economies. The consequences of carbon emission and ecological deficit are not only problematic for one country but these are affecting the whole region. Therefore, this study assesses the influence of ICT-enabled digital transformation, IQ (institutional quality), energy consumption, and economic growth on the ecological footprint under the framework of EKC (Environment Kuznets Curve) in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, (SAARC) economies over 1990 to 2018. Additionally, this analysis estimates the interaction term effect (ICT*IQ) on environment sustainability. We employed cross-section dependence (CD), second generation panel unit root (CIPS &CADF), and Wasteland’s cointegration econometric techniques. Further, the long and short run estimate concluded though PMG estimator. The PMG-ARDL results exhibited that ICT individual and combine impact lessen the environmental degradation. Moreover, the empirical results validate EKC hypothesis SAARC economies. But, institutional quality, economic growth (GDP) and energy consumption intensify environmental degradation by increasing the ecological footprint. The empirical estimates propose that ICT- enabled digital transformation innovation, diffusion and utilization in institutional framework can achieve the SDGs goals of environmental sustainability.

Published: July 2023

In the modern world, military development and defense are becoming fundamental for the development of the country. Many countries, managing their military development indicators, pay more attention to military spending, considering the latter as defense and stability. Ensuring the state security and defense capability of the country throughout all stages of development has largely depended on advanced military technologies and a stable economy.

The second part of the paper is devoted to the origin and life of principality domination in Cilician Armenia. Accordingly, an attempt was made to present a logical chain of deep and critical processes that took place in the region during this period.
The region where the influence of the Byzantine Empire began to weaken significantly, giving way to an international association of a special religious orientation and military-political nature, known in history as the "crusaders", and their program as the "Crusade". The purposeful activity of the nine crusades in the region was determined by a global project developed by large European states and specific religious structures, which implied a certain change in the principles of the world order in the religious-military-political and economic spheres.
In this context, taking into account the chronological factor, the external and internal environments were identified, the actions of which had a direct impact on the formation of the Cilician principality.
The activity of the main influential unit of the internal environment - the Armenian Apostolic Church was analyzed from the point of view of motives and principled positions aimed at preserving its own structure.
Առևտրի բարոյական և «անբարոյական» դրսևորումները. արդար առևտրի հայեցակարգ / ETHICAL AND “UNETHICAL” MANIFESTATIONS OF TRADE: THE FAIR TRADE CONCEPT
Authors: PAKHLYAN Anna

Today, the Fairtrade logo can be found on imported bananas, coffee, chocolate bars or cookies, and even on sports balls made for international sporting events. This signifies that these products, despite being produced in developing countries, adhere to high moral and social values and principles typical to the civilized world. This ensures that no child labor or labor trafficking is involved, employees have the right to work for reasonable hours and receive decent wages, not a single animal is harmed during laboratory testing of products, among other ethical considerations. According to the same logic, productions organized with violation of the above-mentioned requirements will be rightfully considered "unethical" and unacceptable for the civilized consumer of the developed world. Due to their high "moral" values, products sold under the Fairtrade logo have a price advantage over market counterparts, providing producers with additional financial guarantees for necessary livelihoods, access to social and community services, and business development.

The textile industry, being one of the most dynamically developing sub-sectors of the RA economy, implies that the demand for relevant specialists in the field will increase year by year.

As the country lacked an appropriate educational program in the past, we should be guided by international educational programs corresponding to professional standards in the field of textile industry management. These programs should be localized taking into account the embryonic stage of the sector's development as much as possible, to avoid shocks. At this stage, in order to ensure the revival of the textile education, the training of specialists in countries with a developed sectoral education system is an important prerequisite.

After the achievement of independence, the process of forming a new system of territorial administration in the Republic of Armenia began in 1991. The reason was that in Soviet Armenia, as well as in other republics of the Soviet Union, the state administration system was highly centralized. Therefore, it was necessary to make a transition to a more decentralized democratic system, which was the imperative of the time. Organization issues of state and local authorities largely depend on the territorial structure of the state, as the activities of territorial administration and local self-government bodies are carried out within the boundaries of administrative territorial structural units. The administrative territorial division of each state implies a comprehensive system of political, economic, social and geographical divisions of the territory specified by the Constitution or other international acts.
