Is There Self- Determination in Canada’s First Nations Communities?
Authors: Mashford-Pringle Angela
Published: March 2024

What is self-determination? How was the definition created? Examining First Nations health care systems has shown that definitions of self-determination for First Nations leaders and communities are different from those provided by federal and provincial governments. To ensure First Nations survival in the long term, it is important for First Nations people, leaders and communities to collaboratively develop definitions of self-determination in an Aboriginal context. This paper reviews perceptions of self-determination in health care by First Nations, and provincial and federal governments, and how relationships between these three groups are affected by differing perceptions. The impacts of colonialism are examined and discussed as they pertain to perceptions of self-determination in health care in First Nations communities. To survive, First Nations must establish firm definitions and boundaries to prevent further oppression and colonization, and to navigate control of their health and health care for future generations.
How Indigenous Nation-Building Can Strengthen Indigenous Holistic Health Outcomes
Authors: McMillan Mark , McMillan Faye , Rigney Sophie
Published: March 2024

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) has declared that Indigenous peoples and populations inherently possess a right to health. Such a right does not merely exist with reference to physical health. The General Assembly of the United Nations when adopting the UNDRIP requires the meaning of “health” to be expansive and also be characterised as a collective right. This article will provide a particular framework for understanding the right to health for Indigenous peoples as a collective right, which exists in a symbiotic relationship with the rights to greater self-determination and governance.
What Do Place-Names Tell about non-Human Beings among Canadian Inuit?
Authors: Bordin Guy
Published: March 2024

Typologies have been proposed to organise Inuit placenames in several categories based on the meaning of and glosses on the names. One possible category gathers those toponyms that are related to beings that are neither human nor animal (“other-than-animal non-human beings”). In Nunavut and Nunavik (Canadian Eastern Arctic), this category is used quantitatively to name an almost insignificant number of sites. On the other hand, however, such particular place-names are to be found all over the lands inhabited by Inuit, witnessing the “other” nature of this space by comparison to the space commonly frequented by people and animals.
The Sami Representations Reflecting the Multi-Ethnic North of the Saga Literature
Authors: Aalto Sirpa , Lehtola Veli-Pekka
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on contextualizing the Sami (finnar) representations in Old Norse saga literature. The purpose is to show that the Sami representations reflect multi-layered Old Norse textual and oral traditions, and complex interaction between the Sami and the Norwegians in the Middle Ages. The stereotypes of the Sami tell us more about the society that created them than about real, historical events. We can be sure that behind them lie very mundane phenomena such as trade and marriages.

The ultimate goal of the article is therefore to reveal the multi-ethnic North that provided the background for the saga sources, a North whose history is not as homogeneous as sources suggest and quite unlike the modified version which found its way into the histories of nation states. The literary conventions of sagas are not just imaginary tales—their use in various contexts can reveal something essential in otherwise schematic images or configurations. Even researchers of the sagas have certain personal conceptions of what the “real” lives of the Sami were like at the time, and how the sagas depict this. In fact, they participate in a continuum of saga literature that generates representations of the Sami in history.
Indigenous Experiences of the Mining Resource Cycle in Australia’s Northern Territory
Authors: Carson Dean , Govan Jeanie , Carson Doris
Published: March 2024

This paper proposes a model of how Indigenous communities may engage with the mining sector to better manage local development impacts and influence governance processes. The model uses a resource lifecycle perspective to identify the various development opportunities and challenges that remote Indigenous communities and stakeholders may face at different stages of the mining project. The model is applied to two case studies located in the Northern Territory of Australia (Gove Peninsula and Ngukurr) which involved different types and scales of mining and provided different opportunities for development and governance engagement for surrounding Indigenous communities. Both cases emphasise how the benefits and burdens associated with mining, as well as the bridges between Indigenous and outsider approaches to development and governance, can change very quickly due to the volatile nature of remote mining operations. There is thus a need for more flexible agreements and more dynamic relationships between Indigenous, mining and other governance stakeholders that can be adjusted and renegotiated as the conditions for mining change. The final discussion reflects on how the model may be applied in the context mining governance and Indigenous stakeholder engagement in the Fennoscandian north.
Wissenschaft und Abenteuer in der Arktis
Authors: Lüdecke Cornelia
Published: March 2024

its beginning in 1868 German polar expeditions were focused on scientific exploration. History shows that around 1910 only well prepared and equipped expeditions were successful and could gain valuable experiences. The training expedition of the Bavarian officer Wilhelm Filchner who subsequently led the German Antarctic Expedition (1911–1912) was one of these. This is contrasted by the preliminary expedition to Nordaustlandet (Svalbard) of the west Prussian officer Herbert Schröder-Stranz. Other expeditions gave rise to longrangeinvestigations like the permanently occupied German Geophysical Observatory on Svalbard (1911–1914) established for the investigation of the upper air by aerological measurements to prepare a future exploration of the Arctic by airships.

There was a long tradition for German scientific expeditions to Greenland, which is represented for instance by Alfred Wegener‘s meteorological programme to investigate the glacial anticyclone. The year 1930 was a fateful year for German polar research, when he died on the ice-cap and geologist Hans Kurt Erich Krueger vanished in the north Canadian archipelago. Both men represented science as well as adventure.

International projects initiated or organised from the German side were always successful. Georg von Neumayer, director of the German Navy Observatory (Deutsche Seewarte), played an important role in organising the 1st International Polar Year (1882–1883) after the untimely death of Karl Weyprecht. Only extensive research without recognition of national borders would provide new scientific knowledge in meteorology and earth magnetics for weather forecast and shipping. After World War I economical ideas concerning the introductionof trans-arctic air traffic lead to the foundation of the International Society for the Exploration of the Arctic Regions by Means of Aircraft (Aeroarctic). In the meteorological planning of the first expedition with the airship LZ 127 “Graf Zeppelin” to the Russian Arctic, the results of the German Geophysical Observatory in Svalbard were used. This paper discusses the connections between science and adventure established through the German expeditions.
Millenarianism and the Narration of the Nation
Authors: Heith Anne
Published: March 2024

The Korpela movement was a millenarian movement which emerged in Northern Sweden in the nineteen-thirties. The article explores the use of historical subject matter about the movement in newspaper journalism, literary writing, and in the branding of Toivo Korpela and the Korpela movement on the World Wide Web in the context of present-day marketing of attractions for visitors.
The argument of this article is that the literary writings of Henning and Ernst Sjöström and Bengt Pohjanen respectively represent two conflicting ways of narrating the Swedish nation. The Sjöström brothers’ novel Silverarken [‘The silver ark’] represents a nationalist pedagogy in which the narrative of the nation exemplifies a teleology of progress. This mode of narrating is problemized by a double narrative movement which includes a “‘timeless’ discourse of irrationality” (Bhabha), exemplified in a number of Bengt Pohjanen’s novels, which destabilizes and deconstructs the narration of the nation as a story about homogeneity and linear progress. This latter mode of narrating makes visible the split in the narration of the nation between the progressive, accumulative temporality of the modern Swedish welfare state and the performative subversion of an alternative logic which is also claimed to be representative.
Arctic Science and Fiction
Authors: Frank Susi K.
Published: March 2024

The article analyses the popular novel Sannikov’s land (published in 1926) by the famous Russian and Soviet geologist Vladimir A. Obruchev (1863–1956) and asks how scientific discourse on the one hand and literary, fictional discourse on the other interact in this text that tells the story of the discovery of an Arctic island that a Russian merchant had asserted to have seen, but the existence of which never could be affirmed. Basing his novel exclusively on wellfounded scientific (geological as well as anthropological) hypotheses, Obruchev polemizes with a whole range of pretexts from J. Verne to K. Hloucha. Unfolding the story of the Russian expedition, Obruchev pursues the aim (1) to deconstruct the utopian myth of a paradise on earth beyond the Arctic ice in its countless varieties; (2) to show that ancient myths—like the myth of the existence of warm islands in the Arctic—are a form of protoscientific insight that should be taken seriously by modern science and transformed into scientific knowledge; and (3) to suggest that the Arctic islands—really existing, supposed to exist or be doomed—from a geological point of view belong to the Siberian mainland and therefore to Russian/Soviet territory.
Catching Basking Ide, Leuciscus idus (L.), in the Baltic Sea
Authors: Ståhlberg Sabira , Svanberg Ingvar
Published: March 2024

Ide (Leuciscus idus (L.)) gathers in shallow bays in the Baltic archipelagos during warm summer days. Finnish, Estonian and Swedish islanders called this “basking” or “sunbathing.” The phenomenon was previously well known among fishermen, but it is very little researched. Local people caught the basking fish until some decades ago with special techniques, for example closing the bay with nets. Catching basking ide required observation, knowledge, attention and skill, but could provide a large catch when done properly. The method called for cooperation, but also divided the islanders according to fishing rights. The islanders’ observations and fishing techniques reflect a broad local ecological knowledge and the capability to utilise local resources from the environment. This historical and ethno-biological study investigates perceptions and traditional knowledge of basking ide, fishing techniques connected to ide and from a larger perspective, the interaction between humans and fish in the Baltic archipelagos.
"Courting Is Like Trading Horses, You Have to Keep Your Eyes Open"
Authors: Andersson Daniel
Published: March 2024

Proverbs offer insights into normative symbolic systems of meaning. In this article, proverbs collected in Northern Sweden that mirrors an older agrarian environment are studied with a specific subset of such a normative meaning system in focus: masculinity and femininity. The analysis is centered on three important domains of human experience: The Marriage Market, The Household and The Sexuality. It is argued that the gender conceptions found in the proverbs form a system of gender hegemony, with hierarchically superiormasculinity and hierarchically subordinate femininity. Furthermore, a possible cultural model found in the proverbs, that of The Successful Household, is outlined and discussed.

Lipoprotein dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Pathogenesis and treatment of CKD dyslipidemia (literature review)
Authors: Ermolenko V. M.
Published: March 2024

Dyslipidemia develops in the initial stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and worsens as nephropathy progresses. The main manifestation of dyslipidemia is hypercholesterolemia, especially in nephrotic syndrome. However, with CKD of stages 4-5, it is replaced by hypertriglyceridemia in combination with an increase in blood levels of lipoproteins low and very low density. Such changes are closely related to the development of cardiovascular pathology with high mortality. The content of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in the blood is gradually decreasing, as well as the reversible transport of cholesterol. Thus, their anti-atherogenic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions are lost. The main components of HDL – apolipoproteins ApoA-I and ApoA-II, which provide functionality, are replaced by acute-phase proteins, and HDL lose their cardioprotective potential and acquire a proinflammatory and proatherogenic phenotype. According to modern concepts, HDL dysfunction, along with metabolic shifts, is largely due to epigenetic disorders affecting gene expression and partially eliminated by prescribing drugs containing microRNAs (mRNAs) or antisense nucleotides. Drugs with interfering RNAs created in recent years have been successfully used not only for the treatment of dyslipidemia in nephrological patients, but also in patients with neoplastic processes, inflammatory arthritis, degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, porphyria, hemophilia and many other diseases. The proposed review is devoted to the mechanisms of disorders of the structure and functions of HDL in patients with CKD and the correction of these disorders.
Review of clinical guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of urinary tract infection in children
Authors: Snopkov V. V. , Baiko S. V.
Published: March 2024

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial diseases in childhood. The difficulty of diagnosis and timely administration of adequate therapy is associated with differences in the clinical course of the disease in different age groups, localization of the infectious process (upper and lower urinary tract), methods of urine collection and interpretation of the obtained results. The possibility and amount of instrumental diagnostics also varies depending on the region and the specifics of the organization of the healthcare system. The problem of increasing resistance of microorganisms is aggravated by the often-excessive prescription of antimicrobial chemotherapy drugs, which leads to a narrowing of the range of available drugs and the possibility of their use in appropriate age groups. All of the above explains the lack of uniform approaches and the existence of many international and local clinical recommendations on the problem of UTI. This review highlights the features of urine collection in non- and toilet-trained children and also discusses the assumptions and limitations of using screening methods for urinalysis. Indications for urine culture and differences in the interpretation of results depending on the method of obtaining a urine sample are presented, as well as data on modern instrumental diagnostic methods and strategies for their use in practice. A comparative description of current international clinical recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of UTIs in children is provided.
Assessment of the role of albuminuria and uromodulin in the early diagnosis of renal function disorders in some types of obesity phenotypes
Authors: Gadaev A. G. , Dadabayeva R. K.
Published: March 2024

The aim: to study of the relationship of biological markers reflecting damage of the kidneys with its functional state, as well as with clinical, metabolic, hormonal parameters and immunoinflammatory processes in obesity phenotypes.

Patients and Methods: The study involved 224 obese Uzbek women who were divided into 2 groups according to the recommended criteria for metabolic syndrome: group 1 consisted of 133 women diagnosed with metabolic complicated obesity, average age 42.0±0.5; Group 2 consisted of 91 women diagnosed with metabolic healthy obesity, average age 41.7±0.7. The control group consisted of 45 healthy volunteers (women, mean age 43.2±0.8, body mass index ˂ 30 kg/m2, waist circumference less than 80 cm). In the observation groups, anthropometric indicators, blood pressure, biochemical tests and blood lipid spectrum, levels of leptin, insulin, cystatin C and uromodulin in the blood serum, gradations of microalbuminuria in urine were determined, the glomerular filtration rate was calculated for cystatin C and creatinine and the obtained indicators were compared.

Results. In both obesity phenotypes, the amount of microalbuminuria and cystatin C significantly increased in group 1 compared to these indicators in group 2 and the control group, and the amount of uromodulin in the blood serum, on the contrary, decreased compared to the indicators in group 2 and control group (r ˂ 0.001) . An increase in the gradation of microalbuminuria and cystatin C and a decrease in the amount of uromodulin in the blood serum in both groups was expressed by a decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate, which was clearly expressed in group 1 (χ2 = 4.5, r = 0.034). Also, an increase in body mass index was characterized by an increase in cardiometabolic disorders, an increase in the gradation of microalbuminuria, a decrease in the level of uromodulin in the blood serum and cytokinemia (p ˂ 0.001).

Conclusion. In both obesity phenotypes, an increase in the degree of obesity was manifested by an increase in the level of cardiometabolic risk, as well as an increase in subclinical kidney damage. It is considered appropriate to determine the amount of uromodulin and cystatin C in blood serum and assess the gradation of microalbuminuria in the early diagnosis of renal dysfunction in obesity.

Published: March 2024

Estudos de percepção ambiental são de grande importância para a compreensão das diferentes concepções existentes sobre um mesmo meio. As pesquisas que relacionam a percepção da fauna associada aos biomas brasileiros, em especial da Mata Atlântica, são ainda escassas. A Mata Atlântica é uma das florestas mais ricas em biodiversidade do mundo e representa um dos grandes biomas brasileiros. Portanto, percebendo uma lacuna de estudos na área de percepção ambiental faunística da Mata Atlântica, este trabalho buscou entender a percepção de adolescentes do 8º ano do Ensino Fundamental II de oito escolas, públicas e particulares, localizadas no estado do Rio de Janeiro, sobre a Mata Atlântica e sua biodiversidade faunística uma vez que, conhecer os animais nativos desse bioma brasileiro reflete na formação de adultos conscientizados sobre a necessidade e importância da conservação da natureza. O estudo contou com 18 alunos que responderam o mesmo questionário estruturado online. Os dados apontam a presença de uma relação de pertencimento, sentimento e entendimento da importância da Mata Atlântica pelos estudantes. Os participantes da pesquisa citaram 32 animais nativos dos biomas brasileiros e 12 do bioma da Mata Atlântica e mostraram reconhecimento sobre a importância dos serviços ecossistêmicos para a existência da vida.

The article presents the results of studies of a complex methodological approach, including morphometry of tubular bones and foot, followed by determination of their development indices, characteristics of compact bone tissue, radiography and radiogrammetry according to the biomechanical study. The digital material was subjected to statistical processing. The studies were carried out at the Department of Anatomy and Histology of Animals named after Professor A. F. Klimov of the K. I. Skryabin Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education of the Moscow State Automobile and Mechanical Engineering Academy, as well as at the National Medical Research Centre of Traumatology and Orthopaedics named after N. N. Priorov. The material for the study were the pelvic limbs of the Soviet chinchilla rabbit (n=20) and the pelvic limbs of the Rusak hare (n=12), without signs of pathology, with body weight from 4 to 7 kg. In the comparative analysis, relative indices and biomechanical indices affecting the character of the statolocomotor act in the studied animals were established. Structural and biomechanical parallels of the pelvic limb bone framework in closely related representatives of hares were established, which reflect its high adaptive plasticity associated with the specialisation of the stato-locomotor act. The results obtained are normative in the issues of experimental modelling of pathologies of the bone structure of the musculoskeletal apparatus.

The wide selection use of genetic markers of milk protein is relevant in Kazakhstan, which is due to the choice of research topic. Among the many genes that control milk productivity and milk quality, there are major genes that make the greatest contribution to the formation and functioning of a quantitative trait. These genes include the genes for kappa-casein and milk beta-lactoglobulin. Genetic polymorphisms have greatly contributed to the characterization of domestic breeds, tracing the evolutionary history of populations, and distinguishing between breeds of cattle. The polymorphism of the κ-Cn, β-LG genotypes of the Simmental and Red Steppe breeds of cattle of the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan was studied. Among the Simmental breed, animals with the κ-CNAB genotype are more common – 48,5 %, with the κ-CNАА genotype – 27,2 % and with the κ-CNВВ genotype – 24,3 %. In the Red Steppe breed, the κ-CNAB genotype has the highest frequency at 49,2 %, followed by κ-CNAA at 34,2 % and κ-CNBB at 16,7 %. Allele A (0,591) is higher in frequency than allele B (0,4086). In the studied populations of the Simmental and Red Steppe breeds, the heterozygous genotype β-LGAB predominates – 48,2, 0,51 % respectively. The frequency of the β-LGAА genotype is 12,3 %, 12,2 %, the β-LGBB genotype is 39,5, 37,0 % respectively. In the studied group of Simmental and Red Steppe animals, the advantage of the β-LGA allele is not very pronounced, its frequency is 0,36; 0,39 respectively. Alleles β-LGA, β-LGB occur with a frequency of 0,36 and 0,64; 0,39 and 0,61, respectively. A small excess of heterozygotes was revealed – 48,2 % and 51 % of animals have the β-LGAB genotype.

The article is devoted to the development and application of a combined method for determining genotypes and alleles in complex blood group systems in sheep (A, B, C, M). To establish genotypes and alleles in complex systems, we used the combined method we developed with the implementation of the formula of Bernstain F. (1924) in the Microsoft Office Excel (2003) computer program. In total, the experiment used materials obtained from 586 Romanov breed sheep from 5 regions of the Russian Federation (Republic of Bashkortostan, Voronezh region, Smolensk region, Tambov region, Yaroslavl region). In diallelic loci (R, D, I), the determination of genetic structures was carried out using a formula obtained on the basis of the Hardy–Weinberg law. It has been established that 7 blood group systems in Romanov breed sheep (A, B, C, M, D) are open. The exception were two diallelic loci (R, I), in which the study of the allele type was carried out based on the phenomenon of epistasis, when the recessive Ii/i genotype of the I system suppresses the manifestation of antigens, genotypes and alleles of the R system. Based on the data obtained, the level of heterozygosity was determined, which is a measure of assessing biodiversity in the studied populations of Romanov breed sheep. A cluster analysis of 12 blood group systems in 7 populations of the Romanov breed of sheep showed the relationships between them. The resulting dendrogram is a reflection of the results of the research. The possibilities of using the statistical method in order to identify specific characteristics in VII blood group systems in Romanov breed sheep are revealed.
Fact-opinion differentiation
Authors: Mettler Matthew , Mondak Jeffery J.
Published: March 2024

Statements of fact can be proved or disproved with objective evidence, whereas statements of opinion depend on personal values and preferences. Distinguishing between these types of statements contributes to information competence. Conversely, failure at fact-opinion differentiation potentially brings resistance to corrections of misinformation and susceptibility to manipulation. Our analyses show that on fact-opinion differentiation tasks, unsystematic mistakes and mistakes emanating from partisan bias occur at higher rates than accurate responses. Accuracy increases with political sophistication. Affective partisan polarization promotes systematic partisan error: As views grow more polarized, partisans increasingly see their side as holding facts and the opposing side as holding opinions.

Prania gjithmonë e më e shpeshtë e informatikës dhe e mënyrave të reja të prodhimit çoi në një reflektim të thellë dhe në përcaktimin e qasjeve të reja që marrin parasysh këto ndryshime. Ky reflektim lidhet me idenë e një arkitekture që bazohet tek subjektiviteti, komunikimi dhe kompleksiteti. Libri tregon periudhat kryesore të një rrugëtimi të gjatë nga Bauhaus-i tek revolucioni informatik dhe thekson si katalizatorët e këtij procesi ashtu edhe momentet e krizës. Autori vendos në qendër përpjekjet e kërkimit arkitektonik e të protagonistëve të tij të cilit përballeshin me ndryshimet e vazhdueshme të shekullit të fundit

Published: March 2024

Qëllimi i këtij libri është të bëjë një prezantim të drejtpërdrejtë të parimeve dhe metodave të projektimit për strukturat prej betoni. Ai u drejtohet kryesisht studentëve dhe inxhinierëve të rinj, të cilët kërkojnë të kuptojnë teoritë bazike dhe një udhëzues konciz të procedurave të projektimit. Megjithëse metodat e projektimit janë përgjithësisht të bazuara në standardet europiane (Eurokode), shumica nga teoritë dhe praktikat janë thelbësore dhe prandaj është i nevojshëm edhe në vende jashtë Europës. Kërkimi për harmonizimin e standardeve teknike përgjatë Komunitetit Europian (KE) ka sjellë zhvillimin e një serie të këtyre Eurokodeve Strukturore, të cilat janë dokumente teknike të hartuara me qëllim që të adoptohen nga të gjithë shtetet anëtare. Përdorimi i përbashkët i këtyre standardeve ka si qëllim të ulë barrierat tregtare dhe t’u mundësojë kompanive të konkurrojnë në kushte gati të barabarta brenda EC. Eurokod 2 (EC2) merret me projektimin e strukturave të betonit dhe në Mbretërinë e Bashkuar ka zëvendësuar BS8110. Eurokod 2 përbëhet nga 4 pjesë dhe ka huazuar parimet e gjendjeve kufitare të vendosura në standardet britanike. Ky libër i referohet kryesisht pjesës së parë, që merret me rregullat e përgjithshme për ndërtimet. Eurokodi 2 duhet të përdoret i bashkangjitur me standardet e tjera europiane, duke përfshirë edhe Eurokodin 0 (Bazat e Projektimit), që merret me analiza dhe Eurokod-in 1 (Ngarkesat), që ka të bëjë me ngarkimin e strukturave. Standarde të tjera të nevojshme janë Eurokod 7 (projektimi gjeoteknik) dhe Eurokod 8 (projektimi sizmik).
Lesson Study as a Professional Development Practice: Perspectives of Myanmar Teacher Educators
Authors: Win Yin Mar , Kovacs Zsuzsa
Published: March 2024

Lesson study (LS) is a professional development practice in which teachers collaborate to develop a lesson plan, teach and observe the lesson to collect data on student learning, and use their observations to refine their lesson. LS was introduced into education and teacher education in Myanmar through two international projects, but there has been barely any follow-up research exploring whether and how LS is practiced as a regular professional development activity since the international projects terminated in Myanmar. The present study aims to fill this gap by exploring Myanmar teachers' and teacher educators' understanding of lesson study, their LS practices, the benefits of LS they have identified, and the challenges they have experienced in establishing LS as a long-term, sustainable professional development practice. Mixed methodology was used in the research that forms the basis of this study, with an online questionnaire survey for the quantitative study and a semi-structured interview for the qualitative study. The results of the semi-structured interviews complement the results of the questionnaire and provide a deeper explanation along the following four themes: knowledge and practice of the method, the perceived benefits of the method and the challenges of its implementation. The quantitative research results show that 47% of the participants, i.e. all participating teacher educators, were aware of the method, while 53% of the participants, i.e. all participating teachers from public education, had no knowledge of LS. Therefore, the focus of the study had to be limited to teacher educators' understandings, perceptions, practices and experiences of LS. Their understandings of LS slightly vary, while their perceptions of the method are overwhelmingly positive; nevertheless, since the completion of the international projects, the use of lesson study has declined in their practice due to a marked decrease in administrative support, and, consequently, in their own commitmentto LS. The study can shed light on the factors that determine the success of the introduction and adaptation of a new method that can be called innovative.
A mentor mint iránytű. A Tanítsunk Magyarországért mentorprogram hatása az alacsony státusú diákok jövőképére, tanulmányi aspirációikra
Authors: Papp Hunor , Alter Emese , Godó Katalin , Ceglédi Tímea
Published: March 2024

Kutatásunk célja a Tanítsunk Magy arországért mentorprogram (TM) egy speciális problématerületre, a pályaválasztás előtt álló diákok kilátásaira, pályaorientációs értékeire, valamint továbbtanulási aspirációira gy akorolt hatásának vizsgálata. A kvantitatív kutatás során saját szerkesztésű kérdőívvel vizsgáltuk a mentorált és nem mentorált diákok tanulmányi elvárásait, valamint szüleik és pedagógusaik szerepét a diákok szemszögéből. A 2021/2022-es tanév második félévében végzett felmérés során 206 fő hetedik és nyolcadik osztályos általános iskolás diákkal vett fel adatokat a TM-program hatását vizsgáló Discovery of the Hidden Value of Mentoring (DHVM) nevű kutatócsoport. Az adatok elemzése során leíró statisztikákat, átlag-összehasonlítást, kereszttábla-elemzést, valamint bináris logisztikus regresszióelemzést alkalmaztunk. Az eredmények igazolták, hogy a program sikeresen vonja be a hátrányos helyzetű diákokat, akiknek az életében a mentorok fontos szerepet töltenek be, azonban a továbbtanulási döntés legerősebb prediktora még a mentorprogramban való részvétel mellett is a család anyagi helyzete és a tanulók jegyei.
A helyi jógyakorlatok mint a szakmai fejlesztő iskolák lehetséges forrásai
Authors: Zagyváné Szűcs Ida
Published: March 2024

Az oktatás globális trendjei meghatározzák a pedagógusképzés fejlődési lehetőségeit. A minőség mint alapvető elvárás ernyőfogalomként azonosítható. Annak egyik fontos szempontja az elmélet és a gyakorlat összekapcsolása, a pedagógusjelöltek, a gyakornokok és a pedagógusok szakmai fejlődésének, tanulásának folyamatos biztosítása. A szakmai fejlesztő iskolák már léteznek a világban előtérbe helyezve a kutatásalapú pedagógusképzés és - továbbképzés szemléletét. Számos nemzetközi tapasztalat áll rendelkezésünkre. A kérdés, hogy van-e akarat állami és akadémiai szinten a koncepció támogatására. Tanulmányunkban a megvalósítás egy lehetséges módjára teszünk javaslatot az alulról jövő helyi kezdeményezéseket alapul véve.
1. On the Importance of the Institutional Aspect of the University in the Context of Historical Development of Technologies of Knowledge
Authors: Bednarski Maciej
Published: March 2024

Abstract This paper* discusses role and importance of the institutional aspect of the University in a context of historical development of technologies of knowledge. Through an analysis of similarities between subsequent technological innovations that transformed how knowledge
was created, shared and stored, this paper shows that each time there was an institutional ‘answer’ to these developments. It is further argued that currently another such technological innovation is unfolding and that despite similarities it poses an unprecedented challenge, as
it puts the institution itself into question. This paper discusses what the institutional character means for the University by highlighting the role it plays in making a place, thus connecting the institution to a concept of place and topology. Some further political consequences of this
technological challenge to the institution and place are also discussed here.
CAN SENSORY MARKETING BE USED TO ADDRESS OVERTOURISM? EVIDENCE FROM RELIGIOUS ATTRACTIONS IN KYOTO, JAPAN
Authors: HANDLER ISABELL , LEUNG ROSANNA
Published: March 2024

The issue of overtourism have been discussed for decades. Addressing the problems caused by excessive tourist numbers in confined areas is vital, especially in cities like Kyoto, known for its cultural and religious attractions. This study delves into the experiences of visitors at Kyoto's religious sites, with a particular focus on overtourism and sensory elements.The research analyses TripAdvisor reviews spanning from October 2010 to March 2020, covering the top twenty-five religious attractions in Kyoto. Through systematic text analysis tools like topic modelling and Leximancer, four key themes emerge: "Walk," "Impressive," "Beautiful," and "Crowded." These themes encapsulate tourists' experiences, including exploring temples, appreciating scenic beauty, and grappling with overcrowding.The study underscores the overtourism challenge in Kyoto, substantiated by numerous mentions of crowded conditions in reviews. Interestingly, tourists often recommend arriving early to mitigate overcrowding, reflecting their adaptability and positive outlook even in crowded situations. Sensory analysis reveals that visual experiences dominate, followed by gustatory, haptic, auditory, and olfactory sensations. This suggests that tourists are drawn to religious sites not just for their spiritual significance but also for the rich sensory experiences they offer.These findings have implications for destination marketing and management. Stakeholders can leverage insights from user reviews to craft effective advertising content. By promoting lesser-known temples and incorporating sensory marketing strategies, Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) can encourage tourists to diversify their visits, thereby alleviating the pressure on overcrowded sites. Collaboration with tour operators and effective marketing can also facilitate the inclusion of overlooked destinations in tour itineraries, fostering a more balanced distribution of visitors.
