Institutional isomorphism and quality of gender disclosure. The Italian case
Authors: Paoloni Paola , Cosentino Antonietta , Venuti Marco
Published: July 2024

Purpose: Non-financial reporting (NFR), including gender disclosure (GD), is a tool companies use for institutional legitimisation and represents an organisational field that evolves due to regulatory and stakeholder pressure. This research uses the theoretical approach of institutional isomorphism in the context of neo-institutional theory to investigate GD's degree of maturity (quality and homogenei-ty) in a homogeneous institutional context. Design/methodology/approach: This paper adopts a qualitative research meth-odology based on a content analysis of the GD resulting from the NFRs of listed Italian companies in 2016 and 2021. Findings: The results show the degree of institutionalisation achieved through GD after introducing the mandatory NFR. The analysis reveals companies' conver-gence process in terms of isomorphic behaviour and changes in the quality of GD. The findings unfold the institutional pressure that has the most significant impact on the quality of GD, fostering a homogenisation of disclosure at the company level. Originality/value: This is the first study to assess isomorphism and its effects on the quality of GD. This research enriches the literature on institutional theory by analysing the impact of different isomorphic forces on GD. Practical implications: This paper assists policymakers, supervisors, and investors in evaluating the quality of GD and identifying the issues leading to the most critical matters and inefficient or non-transparent behaviours. The findings improve regulatory quality, information control, and assessment of the appropriateness and reliability of the NFR. The implications guide regulators in identifying stand-ards and tools that enhance strategies regarding gender diversity and performance disclosure.

Published: July 2024

L'intervista a Raffaele Barone e al suo team costituisce un'occasione importante per esplorare una pratica psicosociale innovativa in una fase di passaggio dell'associazione COIRAG verso il Terzo Settore. Il Dialogo Aperto è un approccio clinico finalizzato al trattamento delle crisi psichiatriche di esordio. Nato negli anni '80 in Finlandia, è stato introdotto in Italia intorno agli anni '90, trovando una sintesi teorica e una forte integrazione con la Psicoanalisi multifamiliare e la comunità terapeutica democratica proprio nel servizio di Salute Mentale di Caltagirone. Recentemente, il cambiamento nei quadri psicopatologici ha orientato i colleghi a estendere questo tipo di trattamento ad altre forme sintomatologiche come i disturbi alimentari, i suicidi, le dipendenze da sostanze e i disturbi di personalità. Gli aspetti innovativi di rilievo non si limitano solo al concetto di Trattamento Adattato al Bisogno, ma riguardano anche la flessibilità dei modelli organizzativi dei servizi di Salute Mentale e l'importanza di una formazione permanente dei Team riflessivi, dei Facilitatori sociali e degli operatori coinvolti sia in ambito sanitario, sia nel collettivo sociale.
"Nella scienza non ci debbono essere invidie". Politica, pedagogia e cultura visuale nei periodici italiani per l'infanzia degli anni Cinquanta
Authors: Argenio Giulio
Published: July 2024

Attraverso l'analisi dei fumetti prodotti durante gli anni Cinquanta dai settimanali per giovani "Pioniere" e "Il Vittorioso", il contribuito ricostruisce alcune originali pratiche visuali dei cattolici e dei comunisti italiani, approfondendo il loro uso a fi ni educativi e identitari. In particolare, vengono indagati gli schemi proposti al pubblico per interpretare le accelerazioni tecniche e scientifi che della Guerra fredda. Così facendo, l'articolo considera i settimanali a fumetti in quanto strumenti della diplomazia culturale, e indaga più in generale il dialogo di questi materiali a stampa con le culture visuali e mediali della comunicazione politica italiana.
Il turismo e l'economia del mare
Authors: Battilani Patrizia
Published: July 2024

Gli studi turistici godono di una tradizione consolidata grazie alla quale è maturata la consapevolezza che il viaggio e le vacanze siano stati uno dei grandi fenomeni sociali e culturali del Novecento che ha dato vita a importanti fi liere produttive e a nuovi rituali e costumi. In questo ambito il turismo costiero è stato ampiamente indagato, anche se più in riferimento all'esperienza della spiaggia che per la nautica da diporto o le crociere. Oggi, Unione europea, Nazioni unite e Banca mondiale indicano il turismo come una delle componenti dell'economia del mare (blue economy), attribuendogli un ruolo importante nella sfi da per la sostenibilità. Spetta alla ricerca storica disegnare nuovi percorsi capaci di abbracciare il concetto di sostenibilità (sociale e culturale) e di concettualizzare un collegamento fra mare e costa all'interno delle destinazioni turistiche, intese come aree geografi che con confi ni amministrativi, delle quali esiste un'immagine nella mente dei turisti e dove sono disponibili esperienze per i visitatori, opera una organizzazione con funzioni di coordinamento, vive e lavora una comunità di stakeholder e residenti.
Customer perception of brands' heritage: synthesis and perspectives
Authors: Pecot Fabien
Published: July 2024

This article looks at of what marketing has produced regarding the way consumers engage with brand heritage. The literature review shows how marketing scholars take the heritage discourse and analyses the way the message is communicated to external audiences, if they accept it or not, and what effects it has on their broad relation to the company. Then, the first part of the paper clarifies the distinction in brand heritage literature between the focus on the corporate brand and the focus on the marketing mix and its perception by consumers. The second part defines brand heritage as it is perceived by consumers, while the third examines protocols and, most particularly, scales that facilitate the measurement of brand heritage percep- tion. The fourth part reviews the known consequences of brand heritage perception. Finally, the conclusion lists avenues for further research.
Imaginatio alchemica e nessi acausali versus terzo analitico intersoggettivo nella spiegazione dei fenomeni sincronici
Authors: Fissi Stefano
Published: July 2024

Jung distingue due forme di pensiero, logico-discorsivo e per immagini, che sono alla base della relazione tra inconscio e coscienza. Il lavoro con le immagini assume una crescente importanza nella sua teoria in seguito agli studi sull'alchimia. Questi ultimi, assieme alle teorie della meccanica quantistica, lo conducono a una visione unitaria del mondo in cui non vigono le leggi dello spazio-tempo e della causalità, ma l'unità tra spirito e materia dell'unus mundus, in base alla quale egli interpreta i fenomeni di sincronicità. Per altre teorie è l'identificazione proiettiva che determina le interazioni circolari presenti nelle diadi madre-bambino e analista-paziente, ed è all'origine della capacità di pensare e della costituzione dell'area transizionale e del terzo analitico intersoggettivo. Quindi la spiegazione dei fenomeni di sincronicità attraverso l'ipotesi dei nessi acausali si deve confrontare con il paradigma dell'intersoggettività.

Contradictions of the Marginal Utility Theory of Value? Identifying Some Logical Errors
Authors: Zafirovski Milan
Published: July 2024

This article engages in an exploration and identification of potential internal contradictions such as logical errors in the marginal utility theory of value. Specifi-cally, it explores and attempts to identify possible logical contradictions between certain integral elements and aspects of this theory. It first investigates and ana-lyzes potential logical contradictions between the ‘law of satiable wants' and the ‘law' of diminishing marginal utility within the marginal utility theory of value fo-cusing on its early formulations and later elaborations. It then explores and ana-lyzes possible logical contradictions between the status of marginal utility theory as a subjective or individualistic and as a psychological theory of value. It con-cludes that the marginal utility theory of value manifests certain internal contra-dictions in the form of logical errors.
La rilevanza geopolitica di Diyala durante la grande sollevazione irachena del 1920
Authors: Plebani Andrea
Published: July 2024

Il saggio si propone di guardare al ruolo giocato dalla liwa di Diyala nel contesto della grande sollevazione che investì l'Iraq nel corso del 1920. Un evento cruciale nella storia della sintesi statuale irachena contemporanea, tanto da divenire parte fondante del suo mythomoteur e da mettere in discussione, nella sua fase più acuta, la continuazione stessa della presenza britannica nella terra dei due fiumi. La rivolta del 1920 ebbe un doppio "cuore politico" (a Baghdad e nelle città sante sciite) e un principale teatro operativo (la regione del Medio-­Basso Eufrate), ma propagò la sua instabilità su gran parte del territorio mesopotamico. All'interno di tale contesto, Diyala rappresentò un'area di scontro secondaria, ma tutt'altro che marginale. Eppure, il suo ruolo nell'ambito della grande sollevazione del 1920 appare alquanto trascurato dalla pubblicistica. Ricorrendo alle fonti di archivio britanniche, il saggio, dopo aver fornito una visione d'insieme del territorio, mira a restituire alle sollevazioni di Diyala la loro giusta dimensione, delineando gli eventi che investirono l'area nell'estate-­autunno del 1920 ed evidenziando la rilevanza geopolitica che la divisione deteneva per Londra e per i circoli di potere autoctoni a essa più prossimi.
Descripción de la tarea e imitación

Published: July 2024

Describir la conducta del modelo es una variable que se ha relacionado con la conducta imitativa. Se realizaron dos estudios dirigidos a analizar funcionalmente el papel de las descripciones según las condiciones en las que se realizan. En el primer estudio se evaluaron cuatro tipos de descripciones (descripción del modelo, descripción del observador, sin descripción y descripción alternativa) con cinco tareas e imitación a las 48 horas. El nivel de conducta imitativa fue reducido, observándose cierta consistencia a través de tareas y sujetos, con una pobre descripción de la conducta del modelo por parte del observador. En el segundo estudio se incrementó hasta el 90% la descripción correcta de la conducta del modelo, con tres oportunidades de ver la actuación del modelo y feedback de las partes de la secuencia descritas incorrectamente. En una condición control hubo tres oportunidades de observar la actuación del modelo; y en otra, sin descripción, sólo una. Todos los sujetos mostraron un alto nivel de imitación cuando se mejoró la descripción. Los resultados son discutidos en términos del tipo de conducta gobernada por reglas implicada, la probable historia con cada una de las tareas y la mayor o menor función discriminativa función discriminativa de los componentes a imitar.
Seguimento de instruções em ambiente natural: o papel das conseqüências no estabelecimento de uma classe generalizada
Authors: Schmidt Andreia ,   Universidade de Sao Paulo, das Graca de Souza Deisy ,   Universidade Federal do Sao Carlos
Published: July 2024

O estudo analisou o seguimento de instruções por alunos portadores de deficiência mental. Foram conduzidas cinco sessões de filmagens em sala de aula, posteriormente transcritas e divididas em episódios instrucicnais, para categorização dos comportamentos da professora (modalidade de instrução e regularidade c imediaticidade de conseqüências) e dos alunos (seguir ou não; comportamento correspondente ou não à instrução). A professora empregava predominantemente a modalidade vocal de instruções e conseqüenciava a maioria dos comportamentos dos alunos, em esquema de reforço contínuo ou de razão variável baixa, independente de sua precisão. Os alunos iniciavam algum tipo de seguimento imediatamente após cada instrução, porém os comportamentos emitidos apresentavam reduzida precisão. A modalidade predominante de instruções pode ter dificultado sua "compreensão". O esquema de conseqüenciação mantinha o seguimento de instruções como uma classe generalizada, mas a ausência de reforço diferencial pode ter dificultado as aprendizagens discriminativas requeridas para a correspondência precisa entre o que a professora dizia e o que O aluno fazia.
Señalización de la entrega y no entrega de agua en programas temporales con variaciones en la disponibilidad de reforzamiento
Authors: Ribes Emilio ,   Universidad de Guadalajara, Torres Carlos , Mayoral Alfredo ,   Universidad de Guadalajara,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: July 2024

Se utilizaron doce ratas, experimentalmente ingenuas al inicio del estudio, para evaluar los efectos de variar la disponibilidad temporal del suministro de agua en un horario definido temporalmente. Las ratas fueron asignadas a tres condiciones experimentales diferentes. En una primera condición, sólo se señalaba el período de tiempo discriminativo; en una segunda condición, sólo se señalaba el periodo de tiempo delta; en la tercera condición, se señalaron ambos períodos. Si se señaló el período discriminativo, la frecuencia de respuesta aumentó a medida que disminuyó la disponibilidad temporal de las entregas de agua (excepto una fase con un valor mínimo de 0,3 s de disponibilidad). La frecuencia general de respuesta en una sesión dependió del número de entregas de agua en los primeros 15 ciclos de esta sesión. Discutimos estos resultados contrastando las diferencias funcionales entre los parámetros de disponibilidad temporal y la probabilidad de entrega de agua.

Se realizó un trabajo descriptivo longitudinal encaminado a conocer cómo se modifica, a lo largo de los dos primero años escolares, la propensión de los niños a identificar y a elaborar verbalmente diez tipos de relaciones. Treinta y cinco niños de cuatro escuelas públicas resolvieron una tarea de identificación de relaciones y contestaron una entrevista, al inicio de primero, segundo y tercer grados de educación primaria. Los resultados indicaron: a) sólo la mitad de los niños aumentó su tendencia a identificar y elaborar verbalmente las relaciones evaluadas, a lo largo de los dos años escolares, b) los niños incrementaron el número de relaciones identificadas correctamente especialmente en los ejercicios elaborados sobre propiedades aparentes y no aparentes, c) los incrementos se observaron sobre todo en las relaciones de diferencia, secuencia y oposición y d) los niños que, al ingresar a primer grado, resolvieron correctamente un mayor número de ejercicios no mejoraron su ejecución. Se comparan los datos con los obtenidos en otros estudios y se sugieren líneas futuras de investigación.

Se diseñaron cuatro experimentos para evaluar si forzar a los sujetos a responder en la opción del compañero cambiaba la preferencia entre contingencias individuales y sociales. Participaron diadas de niños y adultos en situaciones de altruismo parcial, altruismo total y competencia. La tarea consistió en completar rompecabezas presentados en las pantallas de dos computadoras sincronizadas. Las diadas se expusieron a dos tipos de tratamiento que alternaban condiciones de elección entre contingencias sociales o individuales y condiciones en las que se [orzó a los sujetos a responder en la opción del compañero. En los cuatro experimentos, la mitad de las díadas resolvieron la tarea experimental estando los dos sujetos juntos en un solo cubículo, mientras que en la otra mitad cada sujeto trabajó en un cubículo separado. Los resultados sugieren que la exposición a condiciones de respuesta forzada bajo la contingencia compartida produjo diferentes efectos dependiendo del tipo de contingencia compartida en elección y del criterio de retribución durante la condición de respuesta forzada.

Aprender a ler um texto com compreensão é fundamental para o exercício da cidadania e do convívio social em uma sociedade letrada. Apesar da importância da leitura, muitos estudantes apresentam dificuldades para aprender a ler e procedimentos de ensino informatizados têm sido apresentados como uma alternativa viável para a superação dessas dificuldades. Dessa forma, o objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a aplicação de um procedimento de ensino de compreensão textual informatizado em crianças, entre oito e dez anos de idade, com baixo desempenho em compreensão de textos, no contexto escolar. O procedimento foi constituído por avaliação de leitura de palavras isoladas e de compreensão de leitura e, na sequência, as crianças eram expostas à intervenção, composta pela leitura de 15 livros informatizados e questões de compreensão da história que intercalavam a leitura dos livros. Os alunos podiam consultar e retornar ao texto para responder as questões, e as respostas foram seguidas por consequências diferenciais imediatas para acerto e erro. Por último, foi reaplicada a avaliação de compreensão de leitura. De maneira geral, os resultados apontaram diferenças significativas entre os desempenhos das crianças no pré e pós-teste. Portanto, o procedimento de ensino sistematizado e informatizado aplicado pelos professores contribuiu para o ensino e aprendizagem da leitura com compreensão, o que demonstra a eficácia do procedimento para intervenções em contexto escolar.

In search of ethical relations with refugee communities: Reflections on the Syrian refugee "crisis"
Authors: Nobe-Ghelani Chizuru , Ngo Anh
Published: July 2024

For this conceptually oriented paper, we examine the politics of Canadian humanitarianism in refugee resettlement and its relationships to everyday social work practice with refugees. We argue that Canada’s refugee resettlement efforts have functioned to construct a particular refugee identity while confirming itself as a humanitarian nation-state. This constitutive identity construction of refugee and Canada have effectively concealed Canada’s historical and ongoing settler colonial violence, its complicity in the Middle East conflict, as well as its racist refugee policy regime. We suggest that, despite the profession’s orientation towards social justice, social work has been complicit in these problematic identity constructions. As a profession shaped by a historical investment in whiteness, social work remains complicit in the Othering as long as we hold onto our identity as professional helpers. This paper discusses the possibility of disrupting the investment in whiteness as a way to create a condition for ethical engagement with refugee populations.
Border narratives in Canadian social work: Neoliberal nationalism in the discursive construction of “citizen/Self” and “non-citizen/Other”
Authors: Nobe-Ghelani Chizuru
Published: July 2024

This article elucidates how social work is not only constituted by cross-border processes but also constitutes the transnational processes of bordering within the territorial boundary of the nation-state. The analysis is drawn from a qualitative study of social workers who have worked with migrants without full immigration status in Toronto, Canada. Building on critical border scholarship that reconceptualizes borders as processes, I examine border narratives – a discursive-level operation of border making. I highlight how neoliberalism, one of the key technologies of contemporary transnational bordering processes, intersects and works together with nationalistic citizenship discourse, governing the discursive constructing of “citizen/Self” and “non-citizen/Other.” I call this governance at play neoliberal nationalism and demonstrate some of the ways that neoliberal nationalism works on, through, and within social workers to make sense of exclusionary and inclusionary practices towards migrants without full immigration status as they struggle to navigate a highly complex immigration system and funding structure as well as the effects of neoliberalism in their workplace. I demonstrate how social workers reproduce neoliberal logic and the hegemony of national citizenship even as they critique them, rendering it challenging to see their own complicity in the internal border making of the Canadian nation-state.
Annotated bibliography: Compiled for the Cluster on Methodology and Knowledge Production in Forced Migration Contexts
Authors: Nobe-Ghelani Chizuru
Published: July 2024

In April 2012, a research cluster on methodology and the production of knowledge in forced migration contexts was established by Christina Clark-Kazak (York University) and Galya Ruffer (Northwestern University), through the Refugee Research Network (RRN; http://www.refugeeresearch.net/). The cluster aims to address particular methodological, ethical and epistemological challenges to researchers who are engaged in research in forced migration contexts. In this way, we limited our search to literature that specifically addressed methodology and forced migration. In order to retain focus, we did not include related, but distinct literature on methodology in conflict or development contexts more generally. 

As a starting point, we compiled the existing academic, published literature in English that addressed specific methodological, ethical and epistemological challenges that are unique to forced migration research. We began by examining the literature listed in syllabi for courses on research methodology in forced migration and related contexts and proceeded to a library search with keywords. Due to biases in the production of knowledge, this search yielded few publications by authors from the global south/majority world and those working from a postcolonial theoretical perspective. To address this issue, we asked the cluster members for assistance in identifying additional literature that might not be accessible via a conventional library search. Literature posted on the websites of RRN institutional partners in the Global South (i.e. Calcutta research centre, African Centre for Migration and Society, Javeriana University, Bogotá and The Division of Population Research in the Institute of Social Studies and Research in Tehran) was also examined as long as they were written in English. Further, we expanded our search to include grey literature in York University Library database as well as WorldCat database.

The resulting annotated bibliography below is intended to provide a guide to existing, recent social science, English-language publications. This annotated bibliography is not meant to provide in-depth analysis of each article but to act as an introduction to existing literature, thus it is mostly taken from the abstracts when they are available. When the authors did not include the abstracts, a brief summary of the publication is provided.

Published: July 2024

Invasive alien weeds are plant pests because they can interfere with the growth and productivity of surrounding plants. Studies of invasive alien weeds, inventory of species, and their dispersal are important not only in conservation environments but also in study areas in educational institutions such as universities. This research was conducted with the aim of being an initial study to determine the types and distribution vectors of invasive alien weeds in the study area of the biology garden of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung which have the potential to disrupt the surrounding ecosystem. Weed sampling was carried out by purposive sampling exploration method in the biology garden area of the Faculty of Science and Technology UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. Based on the inventory results, a total of 16 species and 8 families of invasive alien weeds were obtained with the most families coming from the Asteraceae family. The invasive alien weed seed dispersal vectors include wind, water, and animals. Most invasive alien weed species found in the sampling sites have wind and animal dispersal vector types (31.25%). Seed dispersal by animals and wind has an effective dispersal rate because the range of distribution is quite wide. In addition, the characteristics of seeds, the ability to adapt and develop in new environments in plants such as species of the Asteraceae family can cause their invasion to take place quickly and massively.

Beef cattle have a major role in meat production and meet animal protein needs. This study aims to identify and calculate the prevalence rate and level of ectoparasite infestation in beef cattle raised intensively and semi-intensively in Alur Measles village and Pangkalan Susu sub-district agricultural village. This research uses exploratory methods with tools such as sweep nets and tweezers. Sweep nets are used to catch ectoparasites flying around the cow’s body, while tweezers are used to pick up ectoparasites attached to the cow’s body. There are four families of ectoparasite consisting of four different types. The most common type of ectoparasite found is Rhipicephalus microplu. The highest attendance rate was seen in semi-intensively raised cows, with the ectoparasite Rhipicephalus microplus present rate reaching 100% which can be categorized as “always present”. Meanwhile, the lowest attendance rate was seen in intensively reared cattle, with the ectoparasite Chryomya megacephala present at a rate of 26%, which can be categorized as ”frequently present”. The highest infestation rate also occurred in semi-intensively raised cattle, with an Rhipicephalus microplus infestation rate of 6.88, which can be categorized as “moderate”. Meanwhile, the lowest infestation rate occurred in intensively raised cows, with an infestation rate of 0.28, which can be categorized as “very low”I.

Dragonflies are bioindicator insects that are known to be sensitive to the environment and their existence is influenced by habitat conditions. The potential of dragonflies as a bioindicator for the success of reclamation efforts for former tin mining on Bangka Island needs to be studied. This research aims to record the diversity of dragonflies and damselflies in reclaimed land covering an area of ±15.25 ha and aged ±16 years as one component to enrich the criteria for assessing the success of revegetation of ex-tin mining land. This research was conducted in the rainy season, January-March 2023. For three weeks, Schnabel's visual encounter survey (VES) and capture-mark-release-recapture (CMRR) methods were chosen to observe five transect lines, respectively non-revegetation areas, horticultural and fruit revegetation areas, oil palm revegetation areas, kolong with tilapia fish, and kolong with human activities. This research recorded 19 species of dragonflies and 6 species of damselflies, or around 6.5% of the dragonflies and 2.0% of the damselfly species on the island of Sumatra. The most dominant species are Neurothemis fluctuans and Ceriagrion cerinorubellum. The number of species and number of individual dragonflies is thought to be related to the age of reclamation, and has the potential to be an indicator of the success of ex-tin mining reclamation land.

The article substantiates that the formation of a single information and educational space of higher education institutions will have a positive impact on the content, organizational forms and tools for managing the process of providing educational services, as well as will help stimulate scientific and pedagogical workers to introduce innovative digital technologies in various components of the educational process. The risks associated with the digitalization of universities are analyzed; the advantages of digital transformation in higher education are outlined. The article considers digital tools that provide student-teacher communication, learning and efficiency in the educational process, including: video conferencing, electronic platforms, virtual laboratories, video classes, systems for tracking educational achievements. The authors emphasize that under martial law, the most risky situation is that of higher education institutions located in the border and/or frontline regions of Ukraine, most of which still continue blended or online learning, which is possible only through digitalization. The article systematizes both the constructive and the destructive consequences of digitalization with the allocation of endogenous and exogenous consequences among them, which allows to balance approaches to the introduction of digital technologies in higher education and ensure the maximum efficiency of this process. The constructive endogenous consequences of digitalization of higher education institutions include: improving the quality of education, the efficiency of administrative processes and competitiveness, the sustainable development of universities; constructive exogenous consequences include expanding access to education, innovative development and cooperation, involvement of students of border universities in the educational process. In turn, the destructive endogenous consequences are defined as follows: threats to academic integrity, violation of privacy and data security, remoteness of students and teachers, significant workload on teachers, and destructive exogenous consequences – problems of student socialization, digital divide and reduction of motivational aspects in learning. The tasks are outlined, the need to solve which is due to the digital transformation of universities and the development and implementation of digital technologies in their activities. The article substantiates the importance of combining innovative approaches with the preservation of the values and missions of universities, while ensuring equal access to quality higher education and the protection of data of higher education students and teachers, as well as promoting the development of universities on the basis of sustainability.

The article determines that modern energy is mostly based on non-renewable primary energy sources. Therefore, the formation of renewable energy plays an important role today. It is noted that Europe and the world have identified a green economy and climate-neutral energy as a benchmark for their development. Attention is focused on the consideration that under such conditions of development, the issue of tariff setting in the context of the green economy plays a key role in the transformation of the energy system and support of the green economy, since effective tariff setting helps to attract investment in green technologies, ensures the economic attractiveness of renewable energy projects and stimulates energy efficiency. Based on the carried out analysis of scientific publications, it is concluded that tariff setting in the context of the green economy is considered through the prism of economic incentives, environmental benefits, political support and social perception, highlighting its relevance in the context of global efforts to transition to sustainable energy. It is determined that today the problems of instability of tariff policy, in some cases economic inefficiency of tariffs, social inequality, complexity of regulation and administration and a number of others remain unresolved. Addressing these challenges is critical to ensuring an effective and sustainable tariff policy that promotes the development of a green economy and renewable energy sources. It is determined that due to the imperfect, but effective at the moment model of the green tariff, the number and capacity of renewable generation in Ukraine has been steadily growing over the past 10 years. A number of problems that exist today in tariff setting in the context of the green economy from the point of view of its management in Ukraine have been identified and specific features of tariff setting in the context of the green economy have been formulated. Each of the identified specific features of tariff formation of the green economy is characterized and the authors’ own mathematical model of formation of the general tariff of the green economy is proposed. It is concluded that the features of tariff setting in the context of the green economy require an integrated approach to management, and promising in this direction are studies on clarifying each component of the base tariff, determining the basis for calculating each component, further adjustment of the tariff taking into account regional features and other aspects of pricing in the field of renewable energy sources.

This study examines the resource use efficiency in cereal crop enterprise production in Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area of Katsina State. The two cereal crops selected were Millet enterprise and sorghum enterprise. Data for the study was collected from 80 Millet farmers and 80 sorghum farmers randomly selected in five villages. The data collection was from October to December 2022 cropping season. Production function analysis which incorporates the conventional neoclassical test of economic and technical efficiencies was used as the analytical technique. Profitability analysis was also used to determine the profitable enterprise. Findings revealed that for Sorghum production fertilizer input was optimally utilized by the farmers while other inputs seeds, labor, and farm size were overused. On the other hand in Millet production, all the inputs seed, labor, fertilizer, and farm size were over-utilized. The profitability analysis revealed that the Sorghum enterprise was the most profitable with a mean net farm income value of ₦138,000 per hectare while Millet had a net farm income of ₦63,000/ha. The results show that there is a need for farmers to be advised on the appropriate allocation of resources to boost efficiency and output. This would mean using less seed input, labor, and farm size for Sorghum production, while for Millet production less of all the inputs should be used.

Students with disabilities are an increasing subpopulation in higher education. Recently, research has put an emphasis on students’ voices to explore their academic learning experiences, as well as the learning strategies they use to overcome learning barriers. This study aimed to investigate the academic learning experiences of students with disabilities in college or graduate studies and the learning strategies they used when faced with insufficient or delayed support. This study used interpretative phenomenological analysis to gather data from three online focus groups, with a total of 10 participants. The results demonstrated three themes: experiences or issues related to university resources and accommodations, building influence through advocacy and education, and being an independent learner. Some participants continued to face academic learning challenges despite their active seeking of accommodations and support. Some participants utilized study strategies, especially when support was inadequate or not immediately provided. This study highlighted the urgent need for higher education institutions to establish support services and resources for all students. Related discussions and implications are presented.

Many institutions were forced by the COVID-19 pandemic to change admissions policies as a response to logistical challenges around testing. However, even as logistical challenges have resolved, pandemic-era changes to higher education testing policies which reduced or eliminated testing requirements have remained in place in many schools. Now, research evidence is beginning to emerge which looks at the effects that reductions to testing requirements are having on undergraduate admissions, making it possible to determine whether those policies are meeting their goals. This review examines the empirical evidence that has been gathered to date to identify trends in the effects of these testing policies and to make recommendations for increasing equity in admissions that institutions may wish to consider as they grapple with another change in higher education admissions: the striking down of race-conscious admissions. We find that test-optional admissions do not benefit equity in all cases, but that some contexts show more promise than others.
