“Speeches on Religion” by Friedrich Schleiermacher in the Vision of Kyiv Academic Fedir Ornatskyi: an Example of Apologetic Reflection
Authors: Holovashchenko Serhii
Published: December 2023

In this article, we delve into the religious readings of notable Kyiv academic professors from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries. Their works contain a wealth of empirical evidence and theoretical concepts that are crucial to understanding the development of the “science of religion” within the local intellectual tradition. We’re showcasing the work of Fedir Ornatskyi, a scholar from Kyiv Theological academy. Our analysis focuses on one of Ornatskyi’s notable pieces, which delves into the religious perspectives of Friedrich Schleiermacher, a renowned German theologian. A researcher from Kyiv is updating the accomplishments and ideas of F. Schleiermacher, aiming to find connections between the cultural, intellectual, and ideological situations of the late 18th and late 19th centuries. This includes the crisis of religiosity and the rejection of church institutions. Following this vision, F. Ornatskyi is interested in exploring the limitations of rationalist theology. He aims to understand F. Schleiermacher’s search for arguments supporting religion based on inner experience. However, the Kyiv researcher demonstrated that many of the German theologian’s ideas went beyond traditional orthodox church discourse, despite his apologetic motivation. F. Ornatskyi criticises his opponent’s controversial and odious statements, such as the absolutization of subjectivity and sensuality in religion; pantheism and impersonalism; subjectivism and relativism in religious knowledge; denial of the connection between religion and morality; speculative evaluations of specific religions, especially Christianity. At the same time, the Kyiv academician’s study of Schleiermacher’s stories about the relationship between cognitive and emotional-sensual components of religion demonstrates the elements of religious analysis, which combines historical, structural, psychological and phenomenological approaches; the seeds of the psychology of religion and religious cognitivism are found. The modern interpretation of F. Ornatskyi’s work provides a new perspective on Schleiermacher’s ideas, foreshadowing contemporary trends in religious evolution in the post-secular era.
Philosophical Clarifications of the Self in the Satire of François Rabelais, in the Tragedy of William Shakespeare and in the Epic Novel of Miguel de Cervantes
Authors: Lyuty Taras
Published: December 2023

The article examines a philosophical function of the category ‘self’ in the fiction. The literary works of Rabelais, Shakespeare and Cervantes were chosen due to the presence of characters which strive for individual self-determination in these texts. One of the main tasks of the article is to capture the essential features of an individual who is making the very initial steps to complete self-reliance. For this purpose, the article surveys the frameworks and lineage of such concepts as ‘self’, ‘subject’, ‘person’, etc. The crucial point of the study is the notion that a personality formation is fulfilled based on a plot that contains the idea of a trip that takes place not only in the external dimension, but also inside a person. This is expressed in the change of his or her states: the path of doubts, reflections, experiences, etc. A series of such modifications causes character to return to his/herself and is marked by the possession of selfhood. The analysis is concluded with the idea that the history of personality construction resembles the practice of self-improvement, which is accompanied by a series of trials. The basic intuition of existence comes from the vital needs of a person, which are caused by excess, instincts, immorality, and radicalism of actions. But the factor that determines the opposition to these manifestations is eagerness for self-knowledge. It was found that selfknowledge is based on the self-conscious regulation. The consequence of this is the recognition of virtues and regulations of life. Since the development of personality occurs dynamically, in the narrative structure of the literary text it is exposed through a journey-adventure that happens with the character, in which the main stages of personality formation unfold: uncertainty, danger, crisis, understanding of the tragic existence, struggle with fears and temptations, creativity, overcoming one’s limitations, self-control and self-esteem, discovering one’s inner world, accepting one’s imperfection, the need to look at oneself as a project for self-improvement, the ability to self-determine and make efforts for this, etc. The main companions of a person on this way are self-confidence and self-control, as the art of caring, but not humiliating oneself.
Theoretical and methodological foundations for analyzing agentic transformations in communities
Authors: Manilov Yurii
Published: December 2023

Agential transformations are a concept widely discussed in sociology and related disciplines, notably in the works of Margaret Archer and Pierre Bourdieu. They regard agency as an individual’s internal ability to act, regardless of the constraints of social structures, thus playing a pivotal role in shaping social change. This article delves into the theoretical and methodological foundations of analyzing transformations in communities, utilizing M. Archer’s morphogenetic theory and P. Bourdieu’s notions of habitus and social fields. In 2014, following the Revolution of Dignity, the Ukrainian Parliament voted for the Local Self-Governance and Territorial Administration Reform, better known as the “Decentralization” reform. A cornerstone of this reform was the creation of a new, subnational level of territorial communities. Newly elected local government bodies received substantially more executive powers and fiscal privileges. The amalgamation of communities was voluntary, paving the way for certain transformations. Ukraine’s reform accentuated citizen participation, fostering a culture of accountability. While frameworks like Social Impact Assessment and Community Capaсity and Community Resilience provide insights, they lack tools to assess agential shifts explicitly. Here, Archer’s and Bourdieu’s theories offer a holistic lens, underscoring agency within societal confines.This article explores the theoretical foundations of agential transformations, applying them to the case of Ukraine’s decentralization reform. It underscores the importance of individual agency within the context of social structures and cultural norms, highlighting the value of Archer’s morphogenetic theory and Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and social fields in understanding community transformations. By adopting this holistic analytical approach, researchers and policymakers can gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of community development and design more effective strategies for fostering citizen participation and accountability.
Organizational adaptation to a disruption caused by the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine
Authors: Serdyuk Artem
Published: December 2023

There is a vast body of knowledge on the social impact of disasters, but most published research concerns natural disasters with a devastating but momentary impact. However, very little attention is given to social disruptions caused by war, such as the situation in Ukraine after the full-scale russian* invasion. Our research aims to understand the nature of disruptions in the work of Ukrainian commercial and noncommercial organizations caused by the full-scale russian invasion and to explore the adaptation mechanisms used to cope with it. For this purpose, we have conducted a qualitative investigation of 22 Ukrainian organizations and have used the typology of organized reactions developed by The Disaster Research Center to classify their responses.
Involvement of women in military education in Ukraine
Authors: Martsenyuk Tamara
Published: December 2023

Women’s access to military education is an important component of building the value of equal rights and opportunities in the military sphere. Ukraine’s implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 “Women, Peace, Security” provides for equal access of women and men to educational institutions of all levels of the security and defense sector. It is about providing full access to women to enter military educational institutions, integrating gender approaches into the system of training specialists for the security and defense sector, ensuring infrastructural and material and technical conditions of educational institutions of the security and defense sector for the training of girls. Protection from sexual harassment in the military in general and in military educational institutions in particular is another important aspect for the implementation of gender equality policy.Public opinion on whether women should be given equal opportunities with men to obtain military education was determined on the basis of a representative survey for Ukraine conducted in September 2018. Differences in support for the statement that women should be given equal opportunities with men to obtain military education were found depending on the respondents’ gender, age, region of residence, size of the settlement, and level of education.Women appeared, on the one hand, to be slightly more egalitarian in supporting women’s access to military education. Expectedly, more egalitarian views regarding the involvement of women in military education were demonstrated by respondents with a higher level of education, as well as residents of large cities. Residents of Eastern Ukraine to a lesser extent than in other regions support the opinion that women should be given equal opportunities with men to obtain a military education. Since there are several military educational institutions in the East of Ukraine (in particular, in Kharkiv), it is important to draw additional attention to the visibility of women in this field.
A leitura literária bancária no Ensino Médio: uma vida sem "tremores".
Authors: Grazioli Fabiano Tadeu , Rettenmaier Miguel
Published: December 2023

A escolarização da literatura incide num entrave quando o enfoque é o Ensino Médio, e o livro didático é a insígnia desse dilema. O artigo parte de considerações teóricas acerca desses temas, pautadas principalmente em Manguel (2020, 2010), Montes (2020), Freire (1987, 2014), Soares (2001), Fischer (2021) e Cosson (2013, 2021), bem como de noções relacionadas à “experiência” e aos “tremores” surgidos ao contato do sujeito com a literatura relativas à terminiologia de Larrosa (2014). Em seguida analisam-se tais ocorrências em capítulos do material didático de uma editora especializada no segmento, ao que se pode afirmar que a literatura exige um modo particularizado de “escolarização” (SOARES, 2011), e que o livro didático não corrobora com ele, porque se coloca como materialização do pensamento acrítico e passivo que permeia o ensino de literatura marcado por orientações que não favorecem a leitura literária, mas o entendimento pragmático e verticalizado da história da literatura.
La gran estrategia de Turquía: elementos, desafíos y limitaciones de la política exterior turca en el siglo XXI
Authors: Macedo Rizo Marcelo
Published: December 2023

Con el declive del sistema unipolar y de la hegemonía estadounidense, Turquía, al igual que otras potencias medias y los grandes poderes mundiales, ha venido buscando un reposicionamiento en el orden multipolar emergente y reclamado por un nuevo sistema internacional. La orientación y naturaleza de esta búsqueda de autonomía ha sido fuertemente influida por la prominente figura de Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, quien como líder del partido islamista AKP, ha gobernado Turquía durante casi todo el siglo XXI. Este largo periodo ha producido grandes cambios sociales, políticos, económicos y culturales en Turquía, que han repercutido también en su política exterior. En los últimos veinte años, Turquía ha modificado su estrategia de inserción internacional, tanto desde el punto de vista teórico-doctrinal como de los recursos disponibles y sus objetivos. Si bien no ha establecido oficialmente una gran estrategia geopolítica, a partir de las acciones del gobierno turco y de la literatura de análisis reciente es posible identificar sus principales componentes. Uno de ellos es su pretendido alcance a distintos niveles: nacional, regional (con la determinación de nuevas zonas de influencia) y global, acudiendo a una mezcla de elementos de soft y hard power, con mayor relevancia de la fuerza en la última etapa, debido a circunstancias que Turquía considera como amenazas. En todo caso, para hablar de una gran estrategia es necesario tratar primero de delimitar este concepto en general e identificar sus características para Turquía en particular, así como sus desafíos y principales limitaciones, al cumplirse cien años de la República.
Greater autonomy through closer relations with China? Revisiting the Turkey-China engagement
Authors: Tekdal Veysel
Published: December 2023

China se ha convertido en un importante proveedor de recursos para los países en desarrollo, abarcando capital, conocimientos técnicos y experiencias. China también ha trabajado activamente para fortalecer los lazos diplomáticos con las regiones en desarrollo desde principios de la década de 2000. En este contexto, los gobiernos de muchos países en desarrollo han tomado medidas para incorporar a China como un factor importante en sus consideraciones geopolíticas y geoeconómicas. Bajo el gobierno del Partido Justicia y Desarrollo (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP), Turquía también ha buscado fomentar las relaciones con China, particularmente desde principios de la década de 2010. Esta búsqueda se ha visto impulsada aún más por las tensas relaciones de Ankara con Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea. El liderazgo político turco veía a China como un socio potencialmente crucial que podría mejorar la autonomía del país en relación con Occidente. Si bien esta expectativa no se ha materializado del todo hasta ahora, hay un debate en curso sobre hasta qué punto China puede ser potencialmente un actor transformador en la posición de Turquía dentro del orden internacional. Este artículo contribuye a este debate al ubicar la relación entre Turquía y China en un contexto más amplio del poder y la influencia de China en el mundo en desarrollo. El documento sugiere que es probable que el potencial de cooperación de Turquía con China siga siendo relativamente limitado en el futuro previsible. Esto no se debe solo a los vínculos profundamente arraigados de Turquía con Occidente, sino también a la naturaleza del poder global de China, que es más parcial y menos profunda de lo que comúnmente se supone.
O agenciamento de símbolos nacionais na construção das narrativas comunicacionais e políticas no Brasil na campanha eleitoral de 2022
Authors: Vieira Manuela do Corral , Oliveira Amanda Santos de
Published: December 2023

São observadas narrativas e simbologias construídas sobre alguns usos e interpretações da bandeira nacional, as cores verde-amarelo e os slogans de campanha, bem como a identidade visual, dos então candidatos à Presidente da República de 2022 Luís Inácio Lula da Silva e Jair Messias Bolsonaro. O objetivo é compreender alguns dos alcances que os materiais possuem de agenciar correntes de pensamento, coletivas ou individuais. Assim, o consumo, principal ponte de aquisição desses objetos e símbolos, vai além do mercantil e atinge níveis interpretativos, informativos e políticos. O estudo percebeu que a comunicação desdobrada dos objetos influencia os usos e desusos dos símbolos nacionais afinal, além do consumo, há também o não consumo desses simbolismos como formas de afirmar a partir da negação
Entre a disputa política e religiosa: como deputados evangélicos e portais gospels debateram o PL 2630
Authors: Barba Marcela , Mayrink Manoela , Vaz Aline
Published: December 2023

Atentos à crescente ocupação e relevância do segmento religioso evangélico na política (Goldstein 2020; Prandi, Santos, Bonato 2019), bem como nas mídias tradicionais e digitais (Cunha 2019; Martino 2015), esta pesquisa realiza uma análise comparativa sobre a atuação dos deputados evangélicos com mais seguidores no Instagram e os portais de notícias gospels com mais acessos, a fim de verificar suas atuações no que tange à votação do PL2630 - que institui a Lei Brasileira de Liberdade, Responsabilidade e Transparência na Internet. A partir de um corpus de 204 publicações (73 notícias e 131 posts), verificamos o que caracteriza a atuação destes sujeitos - que interseccionam mídia, política e religião no cenário nacional – numa pauta que debate medidas de combate à disseminação de conteúdo falso nas redes sociais e nos serviços de mensagens privadas. Deste modo, com base na análise de conteúdo, consideramos suas posturas em relação ao PL, se a favor ou contrário, bem como se há ênfase a temáticas religiosas entre as críticas a ele direcionados. Incluímos, ainda, nuvens de palavras para visualizar os termos priorizados pelos portais e deputados. Como resultados, destacamos que os parlamentares são mais enfáticos na oposição ao PL, evidenciando críticas ao governo em meio a acusações de censura. Enquanto isso, os portais incluem alguns pontos favoráveis ao projeto e englobam mais apreensões do âmbito religioso
Primeiras representações da identidade de gênero e da diversidade nas histórias em quadrinhos de super-heróis estadunidenses
Authors: Bari Valéria Aparecida , Ramos Rubem Borges Teixeira
Published: December 2023

A formação do leitor é uma temática preponderante nos estudos da Biblioteconomia e, mais recentemente, apropriado pela Ciência da Informação. Contudo, esses estudos se referem mais à acessibilidade, apresentação, mediação e formação do perfil leitor, a partir da produção literária já consagrada pela academia ou disseminada com sucesso pela indústria cultural. Sob a temática dos estudos de gênero, a presente pesquisa tem por objetivo estabelecer um panorama das recentes alterações na representação de personagens com diversidade de gênero, ou seja, pertencentes à comunidade LGBTQIAPN. Tendo em vista a existência de discretas pesquisas sobre a representação da informação junto a estes segmentos sociais no campo da Ciência da Informação, recorrerá de modo interdisciplinar aos aportes teóricos da Teoria da Informação, articulada à Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS), de Moscovici e a Narratologia de Todorov. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com metodologia descritiva e de abordagem qualitativa, precedida por pesquisas e vivências em fluxo contínuo dos autores. Como principais constatações, foi verificado que ocorreram duas fases de representação de personagens com diversidade de gênero, a primeira iniciada nos anos 1940 e a segunda iniciada em 1980. Conclui-se que os percalços sociais e as políticas públicas não têm impedido que a Comunidade LGBTQIAPN+ tenha a sua representação na identidade e no imaginário social. Porém, é preciso atentar para o apelo comercial, que pode se apropriar de tais representações como estratégia de marketing, sem contribuir para o necessário diálogo e interlocução social

Guerras Culturais: Polarização, Mitos e Tipologia no Jornalismo
Authors: Pegoraro Celbi Vagner Melo
Published: December 2023

Este artigo propõe analisar o jornalismo dentro no enfoque específico das Guerras Culturais, utilizando uma metodologia qualitativa fundamentada em pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. Seu propósito é examinar o jornalismo contemporâneo diante da polarização do debate público, desmistificando algumas concepções na área e propondo uma tipologia do jornalismo no contexto analisado. Apresentamos uma estrutura analítica para categorizar abordagens e perspectivas presentes na produção contemporânea de notícias, fomentando a análise crítica e permitindo uma melhor compreensão das dinâmicas culturais e ideológicas que moldam a apresentação e o consumo de informações na esfera pública. Outra questão de discussão é o papel de agências de checagem na apuração de fake news. O resultado demonstra que o jornalismo enfrenta muitas dificuldades não apenas para atualizar o modelo de negócio, como para retenção da credibilidade no cenário de polarização
Dispositivos para uma guerra cultural: tesauros como instrumentos de dominação sobre a informação e o conhecimento
Authors: Gomes Pablo , Frota Maria Guiomar da Cunha
Published: December 2023

A presente pesquisa intenta demonstrar como os tesauros, com suas escolhas terminológicas, conseguem perpetuar opressões que contribuem para uma política de dominação social usada para manutenção de grupos hegemônicos no centro. Foram analisados três termos, sejam eles, “mercado negro”, “homossexualismo” e “transexualismo”, de dois tesauros com grande repercussão, o vocabulário Controlado Básico, do Senado Federal, e o Tesauro da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. A pesquisa interpreta, a partir dos casos e resultados analisados, que há, na representação do conhecimento e nos tesauros, manifestações e representações de racismo, LGBTfobia e violência de gênero. Portanto é pertinente e relevante indagar, dentro do que consideramos guerra cultural, quais papéis esses dispositivos e instrumentos podem ter para a promoção de uma sociedade mais plural e inclusiva
(Anti)racismo nas redes: uma análise de interações a partir de postagens com conteúdo afrofuturista
Authors: Klein Geane Valesca da Cunha , Batista Washington da Silva
Published: December 2023

Neste estudo fazemos a descrição analítica de lógicas de interações desencadeadas a partir de postagens fundadas em conteúdo afrofuturista e disseminadas em redes sociais, com o objetivo de analisar como os participantes construíam subjetividades e discutiam questões relacionadas ao racismo e antirracismo. A pesquisa adotou uma metodologia híbrida, combinando pesquisa bibliográfica e netnografia (Kozinets, 2014), para compreender os processos de significação utilizados e as dinâmicas dialógicas desenvolvidas. Os objetivos específicos incluíram conhecer o Afrofuturismo; aplicar conceitos de análise dialógica; identificar papéis dos participantes; observar simetrias ou assimetrias nas relações; observar o cronotopo dos enunciados e analisar o horizonte temático-valorativo. Como base teórica, foram tomados conceitos e discussões suscitadas a partir das obras de Bakhtin e Volóchinov, especialmente Marxismo e filosofia da linguagem (1999) e Estética da Criação Verbal (2003) e reverberados por Brait (2008), Stam (2000) e outros. Além disso, o estudo considerou a perspectiva definida como Afrofuturismo por Dery (1994), para a partir dela discutir questões relacionadas à identidade no corpo negro. Ancorada nessa visão sociointeracional da linguagem, a análise destacou a complexidade do eu e do Outro como interlocutores em um movimento dialógico, revelando a potência do diálogo na construção e reconstrução de subjetividades

States and nations compared. The case of Kosovo and Ukraine versus global politics
Authors: Violante Antonio
Published: December 2023

The 2008 proclamation of Kosovo’s independence, quickly recognized by many states including almost every single one of the western world, showed that a respected international legality does not exist anymore. In fact, in the eyes of the so-called “international community” Kosovo’s secession, pursued by the Albanian majority despite the resistance of the local Serbian nationality (including Belgrade’s government’s efforts against it) and the minority ethnic groups (Goranis, Roma) is a fait accompli that the community itself supported. However, Kosovo’s case is to be interpreted as a dangerous precedent that can endanger the territorial integrity of many states with national minorities aspiring to secession. This happened despite the existence of international law that does not allow unilateral acts of territorial secession, but only the eventuality of commonly agreed political separations. Examples of this kind could be the attempted secession of the eastern regions from the Ukrainian state, and the successful secession of Crimea from Kiev (that was successful also due to Russia’s support). Such initiatives were supported by Russia and opposed by the West, with an inversion of roles completely opposite to Kosovo’s case, that could be described as the other side of the same coin – with roles reversed – compared to the Ukrainian crisis: in Kosovo it was the West (the USA and most of the EU) that considered favorably – if not actually supported – the Albanian secession from Belgrade, while on the other hand Russia has presented itself in the role of the guardian of international legality while supporting the legitimacy of Serbia’s sovereignty rights over Kosovo.
Comparative analysis of a mining truck motor with permanent magnets in a rotor and a synchronous homopolar motor without magnets in a drive
Authors: Prakht Vladimir A. , Dmitrievskii Vladimir A. , Kazakbaev Vadim M. , Anuchin Aleksey S.
Published: December 2023

The relevance. Increasing need for using mining trucks with a diesel-electric (hybrid) drive for development of minerals. Improving operational and cost characteristics of the electric drive of mining trucks helps to reduce costs in the development of minerals. The main aim. To compare theoretically the performance of synchronous traction motors of various designs (a conventional design with permanent magnets inside a rotor and a homopolar design without permanent magnets with an excitation winding on a stator), optimized by the same method, in the drive of a mining truck. To optimize the motor design to reduce power loss and required inverter power, as well as to limit torque ripple and reduce the risk of permanent magnet demagnetization. Objects. Design of twelve-pole nine-phase synchronous AC motors with a rated power of 370 kW of various designs: a homopolar motor without permanent magnets with an excitation winding on the stator and a motor of a traditional design with permanent magnets in the rotor. Methods. Derivative-free optimization method; equivalent circuit method; mathematical modeling; two-dimensional finite element method. Results. Based on the analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of the considered motors were revealed. The advantage of the motor with permanent magnets in the rotor is reduction in active part length by 30 %. The advantage of the homopolar motor with an excitation winding on the stator are 4.6 times lower cost of active materials. In addition, the homopolar motor has a more reliable design, without the risk of overheating, demagnetization or deterioration of the properties of permanent magnets over time
Hydrodynamics of transient processes in a well with an electric submersible pump
Authors: Solovyev Ilya G. , Lapik Oleg I. , Govorkov Denis A.
Published: December 2023

The relevance. Associated with the problem of increase in efficiency of algorithms for monitoring and controlling the dynamic operation modes of wells equipped with an electric submersible pump with adjustable supply. The result summarizes and develops the previously published solution on the design of a dynamic well model, through the transition from linearized correlations to quadratic relationships between states at key points of a lift. These points properly reflect the observed forms of behavior in transient and equilibrium operating modes at full start-stop control ranges. The main aim. Updated description of a comprehensive quadratic barometric model of the «reservoir–lift–electric pump–well head» type well, focused on the tasks of automatic control and regulation in real time. Objects. Well with frequency-regulated submersible pump. Methods. Material balance, percolation, hydrostatics, quadratic kinetics of friction losses, numerical modeling of differential equations, finite-dimensional description of the complex hydrodynamics of the well, taking into account the potential and kinetic head losses in the lift. Results: (1) Updated mathematical description of the hydrodynamics of the well with an electric submersible pump creates the basis for:

more reliable solution of inverse problems of parametric model support according to the data of field control,
refined assessment of the adjustment potential, predicting the dynamics of a possible system output beyond the boundaries of functional stability,
technologies of numerical and analytical design of optimal solutions when selecting the parameters of arrangement and laws of operational regulation,
synthesis of dynamic observers of an extended state vector synchronously operating with the dynamics of controlling well-head and deep pressure.

(2) The results of the computational analysis demonstrate a complex behavior that does not match the graph of the inflow and pump supply, when changing the frequency and wellhead pressure. This explains the observed effect of the multi-tempoity of transient processes during starts and stops and possible instability of the supply with a sharp decrease in frequency. (3) Estimates of discrepancy between the solutions for a quadratic model and a linearized prototype indicate an increase in errors of linearized analysis with strong deviations of operating modes from the equilibrium-calculated states. The refinements in dynamically disturbed operating modes delivered by the updated model are important for improving the reliability of operational control systems and parametric estimation for data control mode states.

Designing An Instrument For Gauging Equity Literacy
Authors: Rathee N. K. , Joseph Falodun , Li Wan , He Pengyue , Rathee Vikramjit S.
Published: December 2023

Equity literacy refers to the skills and mindsets needed to recognize, respond to, and redress conditions that deny equitable access to education. It involves understanding how identities such as ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, language, religion, immigration status, and disability intersect and contribute to class inequities. More than mere awareness, equity literacy demands a commitment to deepening individual and institutional understandings of the dynamics of equity and injustice within organizations and communities. Its goal is to pinpoint disparities, eradicate inequities, and actively foster a culture of equity. Evaluating equity literacy is essential to understand how educational disparities impact access to equitable opportunities free from bias and discrimination. Considering the existing deficiency in tools for assessing equity literacy, this study introduces a survey instrument designed to assess equity literacy in educational institutions. This survey was developed based on Gorski's equity literacy framework (2016). To establish its validity, the survey was reviewed by experts and refined using Lawshe’s Content Validity Ratio (CVR). Items with CVR scores below the established threshold were removed. The revised 20-item survey was administered to 34 individuals to assess reliability using Cronbach’s alpha. The survey demonstrated robust reliability with an alpha of 0.87. Additionally, the survey categorizes total scores into four rubric levels of equity literacy: exceptional, fair, developing, and little/none. This survey serves as a foundational tool for implementing this framework, thus empowering educators to challenge prevailing mindsets and cultural deficits.
Logiques Sociales du Deficit de Gouvernance Sanitaire des Produits Vivriers au Sein des Marchés Gouro d’Adjame Roxy et de Cocovico (Cote d’Ivoire)
Authors: Zamble Lou Tinan Paule Emile Bénédicte
Published: December 2023

Le présent article traite du déficit de gouvernance sanitaire des produits vivriers au sein des espaces sociaux de Roxy et de Cocovico en dépit des actions de salubrité et d’assainissement menées par les différentes coopératives et structures de gestion de ces espaces sociaux. Il apporte des éléments de réponse à la compréhension des logiques sociales liées à la gestion sanitaire de ces marchés. L’analyse des données a été réalisée à partir de la méthode d’analyse de contenu thématique. Cette méthode a été soutenue par la recherche documentaire, l’observation et les entretiens individuels et collectifs. La constitution de l’échantillonnage qualitatif s’est faite à travers l’utilisation de la méthode de choix raisonné. La gestion sanitaire de ces marchés met en lumière les acteurs (commerçantes, institutions coopératives et municipales) qui dans la défense de leurs intérêts économiques contradictoires s’opposent. Il ressort de ce travail que le déficit de gouvernance sanitaire de ces espaces sociaux s’explique par les contraintes sociales et les rapports sociaux entre commerçantes et institutions sociales.

This article deals with the the lack of health governance within social spaces of Roxy and Cocovico despite the health and sanitation actions carried out by the various cooperatives and waste management structures of these social spaces. It provides elements of responses to the understanding of the social logics linked to the health management of these markets. This analysis was carried out using the thematic content analysis method. This method was supported by documentary research, observation and interviews. The health management of these markets highlights the actors (traders, cooperative and municipal institutions) who, in the defense of their contradictory economic interests, oppose. It emerges from this work that the lack of health governance of these social spacesis explained by the social constraints and the social relations between traders and social institutions.

Published: December 2023

As the Presidential elections in 2024 are approaching, public opinions and politicians’ statements about student loans are presented more often. To curb educational borrowing, the entire society is involved. Institutions of higher education are highly engaged in securing possible funds for scholarships and grants to provide their students with the best and most efficient education. States offer scholarships, and students are becoming more selective about their institution, study major, and lifestyle choices during their undergraduate studies. Many borrowers lack a clear understanding of loan terms and finance management skills. This study was conducted to determine the money management skills of undergraduates, their perceived amount of educational loans anticipated upon graduation, and its impact on their academic performance. A specifically designed survey instrument was administered to a total of 565 participants who were students at one of the US HBCUs in the North-Eastern region of the United States. The results revealed significant race differences in the perceived expected amount of debt upon graduation. The study further indicates a heightened requirement for academic guidance for students whose undergraduate GPAs fall within the range of 2.00 to 3.00, aiming to enhance their retention until graduation within the present institution. Student athletes expressed a significantly higher financial selfefficacy than non-athletes.

Due to changes in the structure and system of the consumer society, the previously used consumer, geographical, and demographic characteristics did not prove sufficient for the exploration and analysis of the reasons behind consumer habits and tourism behaviour. The characterisation of traditional consumer behaviour was complemented by psychological and psychographic factors. These factors also include lifestyle and motivation. As part of a quantitative study based on an online survey, regular travelers were surveyed, alongside Hungarian people interested in traveling. This paper focuses on arranging the measured sample of travelers into homogeneous groups based on their tourism motivation, lifestyle, and travel behaviour as it relates to COVID-19 pandemic. It was also important to describe and characterize the resulting groups of travelers based on their well-identifiable characteristics. The study was conducted as a continuation of foundational research. Previous research analysed the impact of the first three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel behaviour. The results of the present research refer to the effects of the fourth and fifth waves
Exploring How Systemic Racism Affects African American Students’ College Choice Decisions: A Comparative Case Study Analysis
Authors: Yancy Timothy P.
Published: December 2023

A lot of attention has been given to the problem of institutionalized racism in academia lately. From a young age, the road to success in school has not always been an easy route for African American students. According to Bottiani, Bradshaw, and Mendelson (2016), students' perceptions of differential treatment, exclusion, and discrimination by teachers and adults in school appear to play a significant role in the poor outcomes among the youth of color. The climate change surrounding racial issues and U.S. economic downturn have had a significant impact on students of color as regards to their commitment to higher education (Karkouti, 2016). This paper attempts to answer the overarching research question such as: How does systemic racism play a role in African American students' college choice decisions? The results from this paper are displayed in critical race theory, as it is a crucial factor in the analysis of choice theory.

Authors: Pierre Yvette
Published: December 2023

Exploring the historical narrative of activism among black American women offers valuable insights into their significant role in advocating for equal and high-quality educational opportunities within their community. It unveils their cultural and political acumen, attitudes, and dedication, which they extend into the realm of teaching. Their moral philosophies and sense of purpose have been instrumental in the creation of a black feminist pedagogy that has evolved within the frame of black women’s resistance to oppression and the ensuing battle for collective survival and institutional change (Collins, 1990).

Mega Millions and Powerball are among the most popular American lottery games. This article provides a practical software application that can conveniently examine and evaluate several lottery tickets for prizes using just the images. The application accepts as input a directory containing the images of lottery tickets and utilizes machine learning and computer vision to extract lottery ticket data, lottery name, lottery draw date, 5-digit lottery numbers, 2-digit lottery "ball" numbers, and the lottery multiplier. The application also retrieves winning lottery data that corresponds to the lottery draw date using a public database API. This is compared with data collected from each lottery ticket image to establish matches, and the corresponding prize amount is computed. The current version of the application supports GPU usage, and image orientation has no impact on its functionality.  It is believed that a considerable portion of the U.S. public participating in the Powerball and Mega Millions lotteries will find such an application beneficial and handy.
Evaluating the Impact of a Teaching Program on Nurses' Performance during CVP Measurement in Intensive Care Units: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Abu Jaish Yasser Adnan
Published: December 2023

The intensive care unit (ICU) is a specialized area of hospitals dealing with the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of critically ill patients. Moreover, Critical Care Nurses (CCNs) should have strong analytical, interpersonal, and decision-making skills. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of the teaching program on CCNs’ performance during the measurement of central venous pressure (CVP). Design: A quasi-experimental design was used. Methods: The study was conducted in the critical care units at Al-Assad University Hospital, Damascus from June to September 2020. All available registered nurses working in the previous ICUs were included. An observational checklist sheet was developed by the researcher after reviewing the related literature. Each nurse was observed once for each procedure during different shifts. The researcher developed and designed the teaching program based on the nurses’ needs according to their performance during the initial assessment. Results: The results showed that the performance of the nurses improved after the program. The best performance was for nurses in the age group between 20 and 24 years, nurses with a master’s degree, and nurses with less than five years of experience, while the level of knowledge and practice of the studied nurses was average and poor before the teaching program. Overall, this study found a statistically significant relationship before and after the implementation of the program. Conclusion: There has been an obvious improvement in nurses’ knowledge and performance after the teaching program. It is essential to help nurses expand their knowledge and practices to provide high-quality care and promote patient safety.

L’étude a porté sur les effets des amendements organiques sur la gale bactérienne et la pourriture apicale de la tomate en milieu réel à l’Ouest du Burkina Faso. Un essai a été mis en place dans un dispositif en bloc de Fisher complètement randomisé. Il a comporté huit (08) traitements constitués des fertilisants organiques et minéraux tous répétés quatre (04) fois. L’incidence de la maladie et sa sévérité ont été évaluées ainsi que l’effet des traitements sur la qualité des fruits. La progression est relativement faible avec les déchets ménagers compostés associés aux engrais minéraux. La maladie est plus sévère avec les différents fertilisants pris individuellement. Dans l’ensemble, la maladie est évolutive avec tous les traitements.

 

The study focused on the effects of organic amendments on bacterial scab and apical rot of tomato in a real environment in western Burkina Faso. Indeed, a trial was set up in a completely randomized Fisher block design. It included eight (08) treatments consisting of organic and mineral fertilizers all repeated four (04) times. The incidence of the disease and its severity were evaluated as well as the effect of the treatments on the quality of the fruits. The disease is progressive with all treatments. However, the progression is relatively low with composted household waste associated with mineral fertilizers. The disease is more severe with the different fertilizers taken individually.

Published: December 2023

Cet article scientifique vise à décrire les dimensions psychologiques et relationnelles de l'expérience sexuelle des militaires ayant subi une amputation de la jambe à l'Hôpital militaire d'Abidjan. À l'aide d'une méthodologie qualitative fondée sur des entretiens semi-directifs réalisés avec 21 participants militaires, l'étude explore les processus d'adaptation, les stratégies d'ajustement et les ressources mobilisées par ces individus face aux défis psychologiques résultant de l'amputation. En s'appuyant sur les théories du stress post-traumatique et de l'adaptation, les résultats mettent en évidence une configuration complexe de la dimension sexuelle liée aux facteurs affectifs, cognitifs et la dynamique du couple. Ces résultats suggèrent la prise en compte de la dimension sexuelle dans la réhabilitation psychologique, en intégrant les mécanismes de stress post-traumatique et d'adaptation dans les approches cliniques.

 

This scientific article aims to describe the psychological and relational dimensions of the sexual experience of military personnel who have undergone leg amputation at the Abidjan Military Hospital. Using a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews with 21 military participants, the study explores the coping processes, adjustment strategies and resources mobilized by these individuals in the face of the psychological challenges resulting from amputation. Drawing on post-traumatic stress and coping theories, the results highlight a complex configuration of the sexual dimension linked to affective, cognitive and couple dynamics. These results suggest that the sexual dimension should be taken into account in psychological rehabilitation, by integrating post-traumatic stress and coping mechanisms into clinical approaches.
