School Principal Administrative-Supervisory Leadership During the Pandemic: A Phenomenological Qualitative Study
Authors: Uy Francisca T , Sasan John Michael , Kilag Osias Kit
Published: April 2023

This qualitative study aims to explore the administrative-supervisory leadership experiences and perspectives of fifteen (15) school principals in the Division of Toledo City, Cebu, DepEd Region VII, during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The research utilized a descriptive phenomenological approach, which involved face-to-face semi-structured interviews, observation notes, and documentation. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data in six steps, including familiarization, coding, creating themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming themes, and creating a report. The findings of the study revealed that principals faced various challenges during the pandemic crisis, including maintaining the continuity of learning, ensuring the safety of students and teachers, managing resources, and supporting the well-being of school personnel. Despite these challenges, the principals demonstrated strong leadership skills by adapting to the situation, collaborating with stakeholders, and implementing innovative strategies. The study's limitations include a small sample size and a specific geographic location, which limits the generalizability of the findings. This study contributes to the understanding of how school principals experience and navigate leadership during a crisis, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The practical implications of this study suggest that school leaders should prioritize collaboration and adaptability in crisis management, support the well-being of school personnel, and implement innovative strategies to address challenges. The study's novelty lies in its application of a phenomenological approach to explore the subjective experiences of school principals during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
“Kur’ân dışında benden hiçbir şey yazmayınız” Rivâyeti ile Hadislerin Yazılmasını Yasaklayan Diğer Rivâyetlerin Tahlil ve Tenkîdi
Authors: DÜZENLİ Muhittin
Published: April 2023

Hadisleri yazmanın yasaklandığına ilişkin Hz. Peygamber’den nakledilen rivâyetler kitâbetü’l-hadîs tartışmasının en önemli dayanakları arasındadır. Bu rivâyetlerin en bilineni “Kur’ân dışında benden hiçbir şey yazmayınız” rivâyeti olmakla birlikte bu rivâyetin dışında hadis kitâbetini yasaklayan başka rivâyetler de bulunmaktadır. Kuşkusuz konuyu sadece bu rivâyetler çerçevesinde ele almak mümkün değildir. Ancak söz konusu rivâyet özelinde Kur’ân dışında sahâbenin ne yazdıkları konusu net değildir. Dolayısıyla “Kur’ân’dan başka bir şey yazmayınız” ifadesinin “Kur’ân dışında hadislerin yazılmasına yönelik” bir yasak mı olduğu hususu da tartışmalıdır. İlk bakışta bu rivâyetteki vurgunun hadislerin Kur’ân ile aynı sayfaya yazılmasının yasaklanmasına yönelik olduğu söylenebilir. Zira hadislerin yazılmasını yasaklayacak bir gerekçe olmadan böyle bir emrin verilmesi pek mümkün değildir. Öte yandan Peygamber’in bu emrinin aksine birçok beyânının olması, yasak talimatının lokal ve belli nedenlere binaen verildiğine işaret etmektedir. Ayrıca rivâyet sahih olarak düşünüldüğünde “Benden Kur’ân’dan başka bir şey yazmayınız” emrinin Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’in inzâl döneminde ve bizzat Kur’ân metninin tamamlanmadığı sırada verildiği de gözardı edilmemelidir. Bu hususlara binaen Peygamber’in ifadesinin “Benden Kur’ân’dan başka bir şey yazmayınız” şeklinde çoğul kipiyle aktarılmış olması, bu hadisin Ebû Saîd el-Hudrî ile birlikte başka sahâbîlere de söylenmiş olabileceğine işaret etmektedir. Buna rağmen rivâyet, sahabe tabakasında sadece Ebû Saîd el-Hudrî, tarafından nakledilmiştir. Böylesine önemli bir hususun hem sahâbe hem tabiîn tabakasında tek kişi tarafından nakledilmiş olması düşündürücüdür. Hadisleri yazmanın yasaklandığına dair Hz. Peygamber’den nakledilen [merfû] rivâyetler, toplamda üç farklı sahâbîden gelmiştir. Bunlar Ebû Saîd el-Hudrî, Ebû Hureyre ve Zeyd b. Sâbit’ten gelen rivâyetlerdir. İşte bu çalışma, söz konusu rivâyetleri hem isnad hem de metin açısından ele almayı ve değerlendirmeyi hedeflemektedir.

تأثير الدوران وهول على الحركة التمعجية مع تسخين الجول لسائل Powell-Eyring في قناة غير متناظرة مستدقة مائلة
Authors: عبد الحسين هناء , مولود عبد الهادي احمد
Published: April 2023

في هذه الدراسة، ناقشنا تأثير الدوران على النقل التمعجي لسائل باويل-إيرنك في قناة مائلة ومدببة وغير متناظرة. تشمل الاعتبارات تأثير هول والانزلاق الحراري وظروف انزلاق السرعة وتسخين الجول. من خلال الأخذ في الاعتبار التقريبات المنخفضة لعدد رينولدز وطول الموجة الطويل، يتم نمذجة المعادلات الحاكمة لمعادلات الاستمرارية والحركة والطاقة ومن ثم يتم تبسيطها. وقد لوحظ أن تأثير الدوران على السرعة ودالة الجريان ودرجة الحرارة يزداد بينما يتناقص معامل انتقال الحرارة مع زيادته. التأثير المعاكس بين رقم هارتمان ومتغيرهول واضح في الدراسة. الطريقة المستخدمة لتحديد حل أنظمة المعادلات هي تقنية الاضطراب، والتي تمت دراستها باستخدام برنامج "MATHEMATICA".

Creativity and Neurodiversity: Towards an Inclusive Creativity Measure for Autism and ADHD
Authors: Hayashibara Emma , Savickaite Sarune , Simmons David
Published: April 2023

Exploring creativity within the autistic and ADHD community is important as their strengths are often unrecognised in society. The neurodiversity perspective considers autism and ADHD as variations in brain structure and function, leading to experiencing the world differently. It should then, follow that neurodivergent individuals may express creativity differently from standard expectations. However, commonly used creativity measures do not accommodate the different ways in which neurodivergent individuals process and combine external information, thus failing to capture the different and unique presentations of creativity. In light of this, we aimed to develop a novel measure to explore creativity within autistic and ADHD individuals. The sample (N=26) included 3 autistic, 5 autistic+ADHD, 8 ADHD and 10 neurotypical adults. Various methods were used, including: two storytelling tasks, the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis demonstrated different presentations of creativity across groups. Two themes were identified regarding factors which affect creativity in neurodivergent individuals: attention and thinking differently or seeing the world differently. Further, three themes suggested improvements for future creativity tests: time, anxiety and instructions. Findings have implications not only for developing an inclusive creativity measure, but also for designing strengths-based interventions to facilitate creativity in neurodivergent individuals.

L2 Motivational Self System and Growth Language Mindsets as Predictors of Willingness to Communicate: Cross-Cultural Insights into Iranian and Chinese EFL Learners
Authors: Fattahi Nazila , Ebn-Abbasi Faramarz , Lee Ju Seong , Nushi Musa , Liu Linlin
Published: April 2023

Despite the treasure trove of studies on second language willingness to communicate (L2 WTC), there exists a need for more comparative studies, viewing L2 WTC from a cross-cultural standpoint. The present study was put forth to investigate how the L2 WTC of Iranian and Chinese EFL learners might vary and whether the L2 motivational self-system and language mindset could play any role in it. The data collected through an online survey from 469 Iranian and 653 Chinese EFL learners were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney u-test, Pearson’s r, and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that the two groups of learners did not differ significantly regarding their communication orientations. Moreover, the results indicated that Iranian and Chinese learners with a growth language mindset and vivid ideal L2 selves are more willing to communicate. Ought-to L2 self, on the other hand, negatively predicted Iranian learners’ L2 WTC while failing to predict their Chinese counterparts’ L2 WTC. The findings are discussed in terms of implications for teachers to improve L2 WTC by promoting a growth language mindset and improving the ideal L2 self.
Teaching Critical Media Literacy to Fight Fake News in Moroccan Higher Education: Focus on Facebook and YouTube
Authors: Er-raid Ouahiba , Chouari Ahmed
Published: April 2023

Since the appearance of COVID-19, there has been a global concern over the unprecedented spread of fake news on social media. In Morocco, social networks have become principal tools for spreading a vast array of fake news on different events, namely those connected to COVID-19. The large spread of fake news also made teaching Critical Media Literacy a must today to fight its devastating effects in countries where it is still primarily ignored, namely at the university level. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to explore the types of fake news posts Moroccan university students are exposed to on Facebook and YouTube and to examine the pedagogies Moroccan teachers use to teach Critical Media Literacy in higher education to combat fake news. A short survey, semi-structured interviews, and teaching materials were used to collect data on Moroccan university students’ exposition o fake news and the strategies Moroccan teachers use to effectively teach Critical Media Literacy. The findings showed that Moroccan students were frequently exposed to various fake news posts on different issues and were not equipped with enough tools to spot fake news on social networks. Moroccan university teachers also faced adverse challenges in implementing adequate pedagogies to enhance Critical Media Literacy.
Multilingual Practices and Trans-Language Methods in Teaching English
Authors: Solodka Anzhelika , Moroz Tetiana , Filippyeva Tetiana , Maystrenko Lyudmila
Published: April 2023

The study investigates trans-language methods in teaching English. The research examines multilingual practices in the Ukrainian context from sociocultural and multimodal perspectives. Also, it is a desire to know how trans-language techniques can effectively enhance language acquisition. The data came from the Program of English Language Profile conducted in two Ukrainian Universities, aimed at giving students in the bachelor’s programs the opportunity to reinforce their multilingual and intercultural competencies in a second foreign language (English) within the first semester of 2021. The study analyzes the audio recording of students’ and teachers’ multilingual practices, questionnaires on students’ attitudes toward trans-language, and qualitative interviews with teachers. Results show how multilingual resources may facilitate intercultural communication and language development. The findings emphasize the importance of building natural multilingualism and making it a resource, strategy, and goal of teaching English. This study provides practical suggestions and techniques on how universities can adapt to formal teaching environments. Implementations show that trans-language processes become a set of multilingual practices whereby language teachers build on and use their students’ linguistic resources and background knowledge to convey meaningful content. This research develops ‘trans-language’ as an educational and linguistic concept and gives educators the ground to think critically about the advantages and limitations of adopting a multilingual approach.
Conceptual Representations in Sherko Bekas’ Gray: A Cognitive Stylistic Study
Authors: Abdalla Khalid Ali , Fatah Azad Hasan
Published: April 2023

The present paper aims to examine Bekas’ worldview (mind style) in the selected poem Gray from a cognitive stylistic perspective. The concept of mind style, which refers to any particular linguistic representation of an individual’s mental self, encompasses the process of “reality formation” in one’s mind. In cognitive stylistics, the worldview (mind style) of the poet, narrator and character is formed from and displayed through the linguistic structure of the text. Therefore, the highlighted research question is: How is Bekas’ worldview constructed and represented in the selected poem? This study is essential for readers and listeners because it will assist them in interpreting poetic texts so they can comprehend the poet’s worldview. To achieve the main aim, the researchers will apply the cognitive linguistic theories of schema, conceptual metaphor, and conceptual metonymy, all of which are concerned with the representation of conceptual structures. These cognitive theories are considered strong and dynamic theories in accounting for cognitive processes that underpin the production and interpretation of various types of discourse, whether factual or fictional, by forming mental representations in the mind. More specifically, schema theory can be used to explain how text worlds are created and processed during discourse processing, primarily when reading poetry. Additionally, schema theory involves researching mental models, which entails analysing how poets think about the world in contrast to readers. To examine the poet’s worldview, the researchers also use perspective and foregrounding in construal dimensions. Since the study is qualitative, the study’s data will be limited to the analysis of Bekas’ Gray. The study has concluded that Bekas views the world pessimistically and hopelessly.
Analysing the European Union’s Digital Services Act Provisions for the Curtailment of Fake News, Disinformation, & Online Manipulation
Authors: Leiser Mark
Published: April 2023

The European Union’s Digital Service Act (DSA) represents an evolution from both the limited liability regime and the self-regulatory approach under which platforms have blossomed. The new regime regulates proactive moderation, including fact-checking. This paper assesses its suitability to do both. The DSA contains obligations for online platforms that incidentally curb the spread of disinformation. While any general monitoring obligation on platforms is prohibited, the DSA hopes that transparency requirements when undertaking content moderation shall reinvigorate trust in the information ecosystem. To achieve this, the regime emphasises the role of risk assessments and risk mitigation measures. It also empowers trusted flaggers and fact-checkers who partner with platforms to delegitimise user-generated content identified as dis- and mis- information.

“The First Foretaste of the True East” – A Polish Reporter in Post-Ottoman Ruse
Authors: Rikev Kamen
Published: April 2023

The article confronts the urban myth about Ruse as the “most European city” in the Bulgarian lands with the reports from October 1886, published in Antoni Zaleski’s book "Z wycieczki na Wschód. Notatki dziennikarza" (From a trip to the East. A journalist’s notes). The comparison of the Polish observer’s notes with the most persistent elements of this myth reveals diametrically opposite notions about the city’s role in the modernization of Bulgaria during the second half of the 19th century. The key points in the narrative on Ruse as “the city of first things” and “the Gateway to Europe” include the Islahhane grand hotel as “the pearl” of modern Bulgarian accommodation and hospitality facilities; Ruse as a “Little Vienna” because of its architecture; Ruse as an important diplomatic center due to the presence of numerous consulates; the railway from Ruse to Varna as proof of the successful integration of the Bulgarian lands into the European transport system; and social and cultural life in Ruse as evidence of the break with the Oriental lifestyle. The article shows that the city regarded by its inhabitants as a “gateway to the West” was perceived by foreign visitors as a true “gateway to the East.” Zaleski builds his reports on the categories of East and West, European and Ottoman, Bulgarian and Turkish; his portrayal of the city puts it in the frame of an unquestionably Eastern, mixed Turkish-Bulgarian, post-Ottoman reality.
Turkish Borrowings in Bulgarian Lexis Related to Cuisine and Cooking
Authors: Walczak-Mikołajczakowa Mariola
Published: April 2023

Lexical borrowings from Turkish occupy an important place in the lexis of modern Bulgarian. Attempts to eradicate Turcisms, which had been underway for several decades, have been unsuccessful. Even systemic measures have failed. It has not been possible to replace with native lexis or lexis borrowed from other languages in particular that vocabulary which has penetrated most deeply into the consciousness of Bulgarians, that is, words used for centuries in everyday life. This compact group, saturated to the brim with Turcisms, is formed by the vocabulary related to the kitchen and its equipment as well as cooking. The author discusses lexemes from this very thematic group. They were extracted from cookbooks and monographs devoted to Bulgarian culinary traditions.
Early-Career Researchers in China during the Pandemic: Qualitative Evidence from a Longitudinal Study
Authors: Xu Jie , He Chen , Nicholas David , Zhang Na
Published: April 2023

The outbreak of COVID-19 has changed the world in many aspects, and global scientific research has also been challenged. Early-career researchers (ECRs) who just start academic careers are prominently affected by the pandemic. To explore how Chinese ECRs have been affected, longitudinal qualitative interviews were conducted with twenty-four Chinese ECRs from different disciplines and universities in 2020 and 2021. As the results show, Chinese ECRs worry that their future prospects are limited by increased workloads and reduced productivity. However, the new wave of change did not occur for them, and their work resumed its routine and was relatively stable. Over two years, Chinese ECRs got used to working from home and giving online courses, but they were increasingly confused about when the pandemic will end. What bothers ECRs most is the inefficiency of communication and collaboration due to the travel bans, although they became familiar with the online way.
Reflection on ResearchGate’s Terminating ResearchGate Score, and Interest Score, as Social Media Altmetrics and Academic Evaluation Tools
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A. , Yamada Yuki
Published: April 2023

ResearchGate (RG) is a popular academic social media networking platform for scientists, researchers, or academics (SRAs). RG automatically provides a metric, the RG Score, to each RG account holder that serves as a measure of that SRA’s “academic” worth, productivity, and interaction with other SRAs. In 2017, this metric was described by RG as “the RG Score takes all your research and turns it into a source of reputation,” indicating that “it is calculated based on the research in your profile and how other researchers interact with your content.” However, the precise manner in which the RG Score is calculated was never made public because it is a proprietary algorithm, and requests to RG to disclose details of the equations used to calculate it were not met. Not unsurprisingly, RG announced that it would be phasing out the RG Score in June 2022. This article examines what is known in the literature about the RG Score, which may be perceived as a skewed metric because it may add excessive weighting to select aspects, such as questions and answers, rather than to the published literature of an SRA. The RG Interest Score is also critiqued. An author-based metric such as the RG Score that reflects a realistic balance between the most important academic factors while downplaying fairly redundant aspects such as the volume of answers might benefit SRAs. As for any metric, the RG Score should not be used in isolation, be gamed, or used as the basis of any financial remuneration schemes.
Who is Publishing in Biomedical Predatory Journals? A Study on Chinese Scholars
Authors: Wang Jiahao , Yang Cheng , Chen Ming
Published: April 2023

The scale of predatory journals in the biomedical field is proliferating worldwide. In China, numerous cases of academic misconduct have occurred in international biomedical journals. The study aims to understand the sociodemographic characteristics of Chinese authors publishing in predatory biomedical journals and their perceptions of predatory journals. In predatory biomedical journals, 1408 Chinese scholars with 1482 published papers were identified. A questionnaire on predatory journals was emailed to them to analyse their perceptions of predatory journals. The study finds that provinces and cities with more authors are mainly distributed in eastern and central China. Authors mainly worked in hospitals ( n = 1162, 82.53 per cent) and schools ( n = 246, 17.47 per cent). Among hospitals, forty-eight are currently ranked in the top fifty in China. A total of ninety-three (7 per cent) authors responded to the questionnaire. Only half of the authors knew the concept of predatory journals ( n = 45, 48.39 per cent). Most respondents would not consider choosing predatory journals again ( n = 85, 91.40 per cent). Among all the corresponding authors, doctors working in top Chinese hospitals made up the majority. Chinese authors had insufficient knowledge of predatory journals, although most had professional expertise.

This study evaluated the comparative effectiveness of didactic versus a combination of didactic and simulation training on performance and understanding of basic life support techniques in second-year veterinary medical students.
АЛЮЗІЇ СТИЛЮ МОДЕРН У ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКІЙ СЦЕНОГРАФІЇ ПОЧАТКУ ХХ СТОЛІТТЯ
Authors: Ареф’єва Анна Юріївна
Published: April 2023

Наголошено на актуальності визначення філософських настанов стилю модерн (теургізм, віталізм, орнаменталізм) для формування сценографічних синте́з у європейській культурі початку ХХ століття. Мета статті – розглянути феномен сценічного синтезу мистецтв як стильовий феномен у контексті діалогу культур початку ХХ століття. Методологія дослідження презентується компаративним і системним підходами, використані трансцендентальний, феноменологічний, діалектичний методи щодо характеристики сценічного синтезу як цілісності культуротворення. У дослідженні проаналізована філософська рефлексія практиків і теоретиків сценічного мистецтва. Наукова новизна статті полягає в тому, що доведено, як феномен модерного синтезу мистецтв формувався на підставі конотацій із рефлексією Срібного століття, зокрема теургізму, віталізм стилю модерн наслідує здобутки філософії життя, орнаменталізм – ідеї орнаментації сутнього як рефрен хореї (танцювального мистецтва) і аретеї (арт-терапії). Олександр Бенуа, один із засновників «Світу мистецтв», у системі хореографічної культури, або сценогафічних синте́з, відіграв приблизно ту ж саму роль, що й Ігор Стравінський. Був лідером, організатором і проєктантом багатьох вистав. Його роботи вирізняються тим, що художник більше орієнтований на класику, образи несуть у собі ясну композиційну структуру й архітектурність сценічного синтезу. Художник-філософ, есеїст виступав художнім продюсером тощо. О. Бенуа належить до старовинного роду архітекторів. Культура цього родинного осередку стала модерною культурою ХХ-го століття. Висновки. Олександр Бенуа завдав модерну парадигму. Інші художники розвивають його стильові знахідки, одну з рис синтетичного стилю доводять до максимальної активності. Так, Михайло Ларіонов доводить лубочність і декоративність сценографії, костюма до вишуканого і надзвичайно надлишкового імперативу, який перетворюється на своєрідний казковий стиль. Наталія Гончарова переутворює інтенції Олександра Бенуа в самодостатні естетичні формули, що резонують поетику лубка, народного іконопису.
НАТУРАЛІСТИЧНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ФОРМУВАННЯ «ФІЛОСОФІЇ ЗДОРОВ’Я»
Authors: Лаврова Лариса Василівна , Куций Андрій Миколайович
Published: April 2023

У роботі досліджено спроби конструювання філософії здоров’я на основі узагальнення конкретних наукових напрямів її дослідження, переважно медично-біологічного характеру. Показано, що різноаспектність і багатоплановість феномену здоров’я є причиною появи дуже різноманітних підходів, які претендують на роль філософії здоров’я. Такі «філософії здоров’я» являють собою спроби узагальнення з використанням філософського категоріального апарату наукових інновацій у царині концепцій соціології, психології, біології, медицини тощо. Найбільш змістовні підходи формуються в межах соціально-антропологічної методології з урахуванням соціальності індивіда як його базового чинника. Досить поширеним серед напрямів становлення філософії здоров’я є так званий інтеграційний підхід, що акцентує пріоритетність інтеграції знань у царині дослідження феномену здоров’я для здійснення необхідних філософських узагальнень стосовно його природи. Що стосується вітчизняної традиції філософського осмислення феномену здоров’я, то тут чи не найбільше значення має формування школи валеології, якій відводиться роль наукової парадигми всіх дисциплін, що досліджують феномен здоров’я. У філософському сенсі валеологія обґрунтовує як інтегральний об’єкт досліджень натуралістичний образ людини, інтерпретований у межах медичної термінології. Виведення аксіосфери та проблем духовності за межі дискурсу філософії здоров’я приводить і до редукованого розуміння шляхів його забезпечення. Вирішення проблеми бачиться лише на шляху формування філософії здоров’я в межах філософського знання з поєднанням настанов соціальної філософії, філософської антропології, філософії культури й інших напрямів філософської думки.
КУЛЬТУРНА САМОІДЕНТИЧНІСТЬ ГРЕКІВ ПРИАЗОВ’Я В КОНТЕКСТІ ПОХОВАЛЬНИХ ОБРЯДІВ
Authors: Мартинчук Інна Іванівна
Published: April 2023

У роботі досліджено систему поховальних і поминальних обрядів греків Приазов’я як один із засобів прояву їхньої культурної самоідентичності. Авторкою визначено потенціал поховально-поминальних обрядодій греків Приазов’я в системі етнічної культури для відображення поколінних традицій, морально-етичних цінностей, збереження власної ідентифікації. Можемо констатувати той факт, що серед етнічних спільнот, що компактно проживають у Північному Приазов’ї, традиційність культурного розвитку в поєднанні з канонами Православної церкви притаманні саме грецькій етнічній спільноті. Зазначимо, що ціль проведення поховальних обрядів і ритуалів полягає не в публічній демонстрації своєї скорботи. Навпаки, вони привселюдно відмовляються від емоційного зв’язку з колись живою людиною і встановлюють новий емоційний зв’язок з тією ж людиною вже як із покійною. Похорон для них – публічне визнання, що в майбутньому вони мають жити без рідної людини. У поховальній обрядовості маріупольських греків простежуються два аспекти. По-перше, уявлення про те, що душа покійного має знайти своє місце в потойбічному світі, по-друге, зберігається відчуття міцного зв’язку між покійним і його живими родичами. Їхнє життя постійно супроводжується обрядами та церемоніями, як у світі живих, так і в потойбічному світі. Ізоляція померлого, яка була навіяна міфами, набула особливого змісту та трансформувалася з античної традиції в обряди поховання, які у своїй традиційній формі зберігалися впродовж всієї етнічної історії грецької спільноти в Україні, старанно ними дотримуються і дотепер. Багато традицій збережені, вони діють цілком або частково, із внесеними часом корективами. Формування обрядової культури відбувалось паралельно з генезою народу на ґрунті його традиційних занять, духовних цінностей і мало виняткове значення для усвідомлення передумов етнічної єдності грецької спільноти.
РОЗВИТОК КАФЕДРИ СУСПІЛЬНИХ НАУК ХАРКІВСЬКОГО ТЕАТРАЛЬНОГО ІНСТИТУТУ В ПЕРШЕ ПОВОЄННЕ ДЕСЯТИЛІТТЯ (1945–1955 РОКИ)

У статті досліджено розвиток кафедри суспільних наук Харківського театрального інституту в перше повоєнне десятиліття, період, на який прийшовся апофеоз тоталітарного режиму та культ особи Й. Сталіна. Проаналізовано навчально-методичну та наукову діяльність викладачів кафедри, основні напрями наукових досліджень. Методи дослідження. У написанні статті були використані такі спеціальні історичні методи: історично-генетичний, який дозволив дослідити процес розвитку кафедри в повоєнні роки, зміни в кадровому складі, у програмах курсів та їх реєстрів; історико-біографічний підхід, який дозволив проаналізувати кадровий склад кафедри, його професійно-освітній рівень; а також метод структурного аналізу, який дозволив реконструювати структуру кафедри в досліджуванні роки. Результати. Досліджено розвиток суспільних наук у конкретний час, пов’язаний із початком холодної війни, яка вплинула на розвиток суспільних наук у Союзі Радянських Соціалістичних Республік та інших країн. Наукова новизна полягає в тому, що у статті вперше на основі архівних та інших джерел проаналізовані навчально-методична, наукова діяльність і кадровий склад кафедри суспільних наук Харківського театрального інституту в 1945–1955 роки. Ідеологічні кампанії 40–50-х років ХХ століття негативно вплинули на розвиток суспільних наук, зокрема й на діяльність харківських суспільствознавців та істориків. Висновки. В умовах протистояння між Союзом Радянських Соціалістичних Республік і Сполученими Штатами Америки кафедрам суспільних наук надавалась особлива роль у викритті «буржуазної ідеології», боротьби з «антипатріотизмом» і космополітизмом. Суспільствознавча вузівська наука в досліджуване десятиліття розвивалась у єдиному потоці всієї радянської науки. Значний вплив на її розвиток мали рішення партії й уряду з ідеологічних питань, направлені на вдосконалення процесу викладання у вигідному для влади напрямі. Водночас цей період був пов’язаний із поступовим удосконаленням навчально-методичної та науково-дослідницької роботи. Більш жорсткі вимоги ставилися до якості дисертаційних робіт, наукової актуальності, тематики досліджень, розширялось коло досліджуваних тем. Усі ці зміни можна побачити на прикладі діяльності кафедри суспільних наук Харківського театрального інституту.

Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone neoplasm with a high incidence in adult and giant breed dogs, with the appendicular skeleton being the most affected compared to the axial one. The symptoms usually present are claudication, swelling and may or may not be associated with episodes of fractures. The diagnosis consists of imaging exams, and in many cases, confirmation is only possible through bone biopsy. Due to aggressiveness the prognosis is unfavorable, and the best treatment for this case is limb amputation, with the intention of removing the primary tumor. The dog, in this report, was diagnosed by bone biopsy, whose histopathological result was osteoblastic osteosarcoma. The tumor originated in the distal femur of the left pelvic limb and the patient was referred for amputation, the surgical technique used was coxofemoral disarticulation. As an adjuvant treatment, chemotherapy with carboplatin was instituted. There were fivw sessions in an interval of 21 in 21 days, without reaction or alterations in the complementary exams. Pulmonary macro metastases were not identified in the radiographic examination, and a disease-free interval was observed, guaranteeing quality of life for the patient, despite being a very aggressive tumor.

The objective of this work was to carry out a bibliographical review on the approach to cross contamination in the domestic environment, using cutting boards as a tool used in food handling in domestic households, serving as a vehicle for contamination, and as interest for study, in addition to important aspects related to the safety and handling of food at home. Foodborne diseases are defined as infectious or toxic diseases caused by the consumption of contaminated food or water, and the home is considered a place of origin for these diseases based on the food handled and ingested in the home itself. The main errors during food handling are related to the hygiene conditions in the places and surfaces where these foods are handled, with cross-contamination as the main factor responsible for the transfer of microorganisms from one material or contaminated food to another. Cutting surfaces are utensils widely used in the preparation and manipulation of food, whether raw or ready-to-eat and, as handlers are unaware of adequate measures for hygiene, storage, and conservation of these surfaces, the organic matter and microorganisms present in raw foods can remain adhered to them, serving as a source of constant contamination. The permanence and adhesion of microorganisms can occur on any type of surface with the production of biofilms. Biofilms can be defined as communities of sessile cells, consisting of one or more bacterial species, included in a matrix of extracellular polymers (exopolysaccharides - EPS) adhered to an inert or living surface. Biofilms can contribute to the permanence of microorganisms on cutting boards, which may compromise the microbiological quality of food handled on these surfaces, exposing people to biological risk through the biotransfer of pathogenic microorganisms. Studies show that these pathogenic microorganisms may have some degree of resistance to antibiotics and disinfectants used in disease control and the hygiene of this utensil, and exposure to pathogens associated with their degree of resistance raises concerns for the World Health Organization (WHO), which reveals a worrying scenario for public health.

Local government system is the most efficient administrative unit to directly observe and deliver the basic needs of public in any country. Millennium Development Goals specific to education and health should also come under the prerogatives of local government based on their success indicators. But in Pakistan, MDG’s have not been treated by politically and administratively decentralized local governments. This qualitative research study investigates the possible role of local government as per perception of real actors, which could have been played in augmenting the scope of primary education and health. The cross-sectional data was collected through interviews from officials working in education, health, and local government departments. Purposive sampling technique helped to select participants who have witnessed the changes in governing system before and after promulgation of LGO, 2001. Semantic approach of thematic analysis was used to analyze the Qualitative data. Analysis discovered the overlooked merits of decentralized local governments in regards to indicators defined by MDG’s. Analysis also found the reasons that hindered the process of obtaining the MDG’s specific to education and health, and factors to improve service delivery in both of these sectors. More than 80% of respondents have validated the unconditional need of politically decentralized local governments to deliver basic needs of public.

Several projections were made during and after the Global financial crises of 2007-2009 about the continuity of foreign aid to Africa.Some opined that the financial crises will reach Sub Saharan Africa via the decline of foreign aid as well as other financial transfers such as remittances and Foreign Direct Investment. It is on this premise that this study examined the flow of foreign aid to Africa in an effort to appreciate the trend before, during and after the Global financial crisis. The study used trend charts and the Bai-Perron multiple structural break test as well as the Chow test to analyse data sourced from the World Bank Indicators. The results show that, though Overall ODA dropped in 2007, it consistently increased up to 2013 by 25%. The structural break test shows that the trend of ODA has not significantly changed as a result of the Global financial crisis for; low, lower middle, higher middle and Sub Saharan countries as a whole. The result further shows that ODA to low income countries were higher than those of lower middle income countries which was equally higher than higher middle income countries. ODA to the agricultural, educational and economic infrastructural sector all increased after 2009. It is only ODA to the health sector that dropped significantly. The study concludes that Foreign aid to Africa has not declined, but rather improved in most cases. It therefore commends the efforts of aid donors and emphasizes the complementing role of foreign aid to Africa.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) of the Pakistani government created an e-tax filing facility in 2005 to make it easier for taxpayers to file their tax returns online. Online tax returns are seen as quick, simple and cost-effective. In this paper, we describe the purpose of the tax filer to utilise the e-tax filing system theoretically after fifteen years of implementation in Pakistan, as explained in this paper by the researcher data was collected from 250 e-tax filing portal users located within the city of Lahore. The results show that subjective norm and attitude towards using e-tax filing portal are associated with intention to use significantly. At present, FBR is making considerable efforts to promote the use of electronic filing systems. This study may help the FBR develop a more efficient scheme for increasing the use of electronic filing among Pakistani taxpayers. Limits and future instructions are provided at the conclusion of the essay.

In recent years academic faculty jobs have undergone significant changes from being low demanding and highly satisfying to stressful and challenging. The ongoing challenge of COVID-19 has intensified the teaching and research challenge of placing academicians' well-being at stake. The current study explores a personality antecedent (self-efficacy) and a contextual antecedent (job social support) of academic faculty subjective well-being measured as job satisfaction and overall satisfaction with life. Data collected from 326 public and private sector faculty was subjected to measurement and structural model analysis using SMART-PLS 3. Hypothesis testing for direct effect revealed that self-efficacy and supervisor social support are significantly related to life satisfaction. Coworker support and supervisor social support are significantly associated with job satisfaction. The moderation analysis revealed that supervisor support positively moderates the relationship between self-efficacy and subjective evaluation of well-being. In contrast, coworker support negatively moderates the relationship between self-efficacy and subjective well-being. The results revealed that although supervisor support is an important determinant of how self-efficacy leads to higher well-being among academicians, a high level of coworker support may negatively affect individuals with high self-efficacy.  The study highlights the importance of matching personality with the job's situational factors to improve faculty's well-being.
