Published: June 2021

Abstract: The increased awareness of the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and consumption of fossil fuels on the environment has led to world-wide research focused on sustainable transportation solutions. University campuses are one of the affected environments involved in this issue as a high dependency on private vehicles causes’ traffic congestion in the campus area particularly during peak hours leading to concerns about parking especially for the established universities. Therefore, alternative transport solutions should be considered in minimizing the environmental consequences specifically within the campus area. This study aims to examine the extent of sustainable transportation practices implemented by a university campus in a developing country, Malaysia and Indonesia. A survey methodology was applied using self-administered questionnaires as the main technique of data collection. Both, UiTM Puncak Alam, Selangor, Malaysia and Universitas Negeri Semarang, Indonesia are selected as the sample study and the target observations are focused on the transportation pathway which includes transportation modes, passengers, terminal and parking space. The study is expected to enrich the existing sustainable model of Stakeholder Theory to deliver a more robust competency model to provide solutions in creating sustainable transportation in university campuses. Subsequently, the outcome would support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2030), Mid-term Review of the Eleventh Malaysia Plan [2016 – 2020], Indonesia’s long-term development plan to phase IV period 2020-2025 through better adoption of low- carbon supply chain practices in order to reduce GHG emission. This is in line with Malaysia and Indonesia’s commitment in being a key part of the global transition to a low-carbon, and eventually carbon- neutral society by 2050

Hipermídias em Dispositivos Móveis para a Aprendizagem Autodirecionada sobre Saúde: a percepção do cuidador
Authors: Pereira Dauster Souza , De Lima José Valdeni , Conceição Simone Cristina Oliveira da , Pereira Priscilla Perez da Silva , Jardim Rafaela Ribeiro , Rocha Paulo Santana
Published: June 2021

Este estudo objetiva compreender a percepção do cuidador, responsável (normalmente um familiar) e pessoa com cuidados especiais no processo de aprendizagem autodirecionada num contexto não-formal utilizando hipermídias para dispositivo móvel. A pesquisa é do tipo aplicada, explicativa, quali-quantitativa e com delineamento experimental. A análise da aprendizagem autodirecionada deste estudo compreendeu a perspectiva das características (processo) e da aplicação. Os resultados do experimento demonstraram que os participantes possuíam habilidades de aprendizagem autodirecionadas, como por exemplo, faziam anotações de pontos importantes (75,6%), possuíam autoconfiança (82,9%), enfatizavam pontos importantes (87,8%) e se responsabilizavam pelo processo de aprender (87,8%). Apesar do aspecto positivo na aprendizagem autodirecionada, algumas habilidades foram avaliadas como frágeis: capacidade de relacionar conhecimento teórico com a vida cotidiana, compreensão em sua plenitude que o estudo imediatamente antes de um teste não é permanente, e que a motivação não garante o foco (mesmo motivados podem se distrair e desviar do seu objetivo).

Published: June 2021

Background: The study examined the influence of implementation of employee empowerment on competitive advantage in hospitals within Nairobi. The study looked at the following aspects of employee empowerment; competence, teamwork, motivation, reward and recognition. Employee empowerment is derived from the Total Quality Management (TQM) principles bringing forth competitive advantage that results from high customer satisfaction levels, employee satisfaction and operations efficiency. Methods: A descriptive correlational research design that applied positivism philosophy. Data was collected from both private and public hospitals within Nairobi targeting patients who were admitted in these hospitals for more than three days during the study period and senior employees of the respective hospitals. There were 308 participants, 154 hospital employees and 154 patients from 31 hospitals within Nairobi. After institutional and individual consent was obtained, participants filled a self-administered questionnaire. The collected data was coded into SPSS Version 23 software and the analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The findings illustrated that employee empowerment significantly predicted competitive advantage. High responsiveness and good attitude, being reliable, empathy and assuring the patients of their state best enhance patients’ and employee satisfaction. Conclusion: This brings out the importance of realigning the staff inputs towards improving patient experiences, as well as considering employees’ performance as individual instead of considering them as teams.

Published: June 2021

Las diferencias de género en el reconocimiento de las emociones podrían deberse a una mayor sensibilidad de las mujeres a las señales sutiles de las expresiones faciales. El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en analizar las diferencias de género en la valoración de los cambios en la intensidad emocional de las expresiones faciales de alegría y tristeza. La muestra estuvo formada por 222 participantes (77.5% mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 30 años. Se utilizaron expresiones faciales ambiguas con diferentes porcentajes de alegría y tristeza (ambigüedad alta: 50%-50%, ambigüedad media: 25%-75%, ambigüedad baja: 0%-100%). Los participantes valoraron en qué grado una expresión ambigua reflejaba mayor intensidad emocional (alegría o tristeza) que una expresión neutra. Las mujeres percibieron mayor intensidad emocional en las expresiones de alegría con ambigüedad media (25% tristeza - 75% alegría) en comparación con los hombres. Además, solo las mujeres percibieron mayor intensidad afectiva en las expresiones de alegría (25% tristeza - 75% alegría) respecto a las de tristeza (75% tristeza - 25% alegría) con ambigüedad media. Se discuten los resultados a partir de la teoría del rol social, y se analizan sus implicaciones dentro del complejo contexto social en el que interaccionan los seres humanos.

A CRIMINALIZAÇÃO DO ICMS PELO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL SOB A PERSPECTIVA GARANTISTA DE LUIGI FERRAJOLI
Authors: Torres Anneline Magalhães , Araruna Santiago Nestor Eduardo
Published: June 2021

Este trabalho examina o julgamento do Recurso Ordinário em Habeas Corpus n. 163.334/SC no Supremo Tribunal Federal à luz da teoria do garantismo desenvolvida por Luigi Ferrajoli com foco especial no princípio da legalidade estrita. O método utilizado será o dedutivo, onde realizar-se-á um estudo de caso com investigação do tipo documental-bibliográfica e pesquisa pura de abordagem qualitativa, exploratória e descritiva quanto aos objetivos. Para melhor deslinde do objetivo do trabalho, inicia-se com uma exposição das regras gerais do imposto sobre circulação de mercadorias e prestação de serviços (ICMS). Após, enfatiza-se as discussões na interpretação da lei penal tributária, quando da caracterização da conduta de “declarar e não pagar o ICMS próprio” como crime de apropriação indébita. Busca-se apontar que a decisão foi uma resposta defeituosa ao real problema social enfrentado, visto que, a pretexto de combater a sonegação fiscal crescente no país e a deficiente conclusão das execuções fiscais, deu-se uma nova interpretação ao dispositivo penal, tendo como resultado prático um aumento da complexidade da fiscalização tributária e da morosidade da persecução penal. Conclui-se que a decisão extrapolou os limites constitucionais, na contramão dos postulados do Sistema Garantista.

Background. An increase in the incidence of hepatic echinococcosis is noted annually, surgery remaining its main treatment option. Objective. To analyze the treatment structure and evaluate the treatment outcomes of the patients operated for hepatic echinococcosis in the Surgical department №2 of SAHI "KCEH named after M.A. Podgorbunsky" over the period of 2016 - 2020. Material and methods. The analyzed group included treatment outcomes of 58 patients (22 men (38%), 36 women (62%)), who underwent 76 surgical interventions for liver echinococcosis in the Surgical department №2 on the basis of SAHI "KCEH named after M.A. Podgorbunsky". The difference between the number of operations performed and that of actual patients is explained by the use of staged surgery in a number of cases. Results. The majority of the 76 operations performed over the period of 2016 - 2020 were open resections - 50 (65.8%) cases. Of these, extensive anatomic segmental hepatic resections were performed in 22 cases (44%). In 14 (24%) of all patients staged surgery was used, making it possible to exclude a number of patients from the category of "non-resectable" and to perform surgery with good outcomes. A fatal outcome was noted in one case. Conclusions. The use of various surgical techniques including staged minimally invasive and laparoscopic ones in a specialized surgical department allows achieving good treatment outcomes.

Искусство, это социальная идеология, которая использует образы для отражения реальности, но более типичные, чем реальность. Тогда искусство музыки — это вид искусства, используемый для слуховых образов, состоящих из организованных звуков для выражения мыслей и чувств людей и социальной реальности жизни. При преподавании музыки в школах развитие музыкального воображения учащихся может позволить им лучше оценить чувства и настроения, выраженные в музыкальных произведениях, глубоко оценить творческую среду автора, а также творческое состояние души, и в то же время интегрировать свои собственные эмоции и понимание в процессе исполнения произведений. Тон саксофона разнообразен, он может играть как красивые и глубокие произведения, так и напряженные произведения, и студенты могут умеренно выражать свое воображение в процессе игры, что может не только улучшить их собственную музыкальную грамотность, но и способствовать развитию всестороннего музыкального образования.
Influence of washing on the adhesion between 3D-printed TPU and woven fabrics
Authors: Störmer Jannik , Görmer Daniel , Ehrmann Andrea
Published: June 2021

3D printing on textile fabrics can be used to create composites with position-dependent mechanical, water-resistant, magnetic or other properties. An important prerequisite to use such composites technologically or for design purposes is a sufficient adhesion between both materials. While previous studies revealed that soft, elastic printing polymers were advantageous to prepare connections with a high adhesion, not much research has been performed yet on the dependence of the adhesion on textile fabric structure, heat post-treatment, and the influence of washing, which is necessary for most applications of such composites. Here we investigate composites from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) 3D-printed on two different woven cotton fabrics. Besides the expected strong correlation of the adhesion with the distance between nozzle and printing bed, we find a higher adhesion on the thinner fabric and an increase in the adhesion after one washing cycle.
Impact of using Islamic Microfinance Products on Mauritanian Microentrepreneurs’ Income: Evidence from PROCAPEC- Nouakchot
Authors: Maouloud Vatimetou Mokhtar , Othman Anwar Hasan Abdullah
Published: June 2021

This study examines the impact of using Islamic microfinance products on the Mauritanian microentrepreneurs’ income level. The study is purely quantitative, and it uses cross-sectional design data, which was gathered through a questionnaire from a sample of 381 beneficiaries of an Islamic microfinance institution (PROCAPEC). It uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to determine the effectiveness of using Islamic microfinance products on the beneficiaries’ income as well as to test the moderator effect of gender on the relationship in the model. The research found out that the use of Islamic microfinance products has increased the beneficiaries’ income; however, gender has no moderator effect on the relationship between the usage of Islamic microfinance products and income level. These findings help the policymakers and managers of Islamic microfinance consider the factors increasing Islamic microfinance products’ usage to reduce poverty in the country. This study is among the pioneer in the field of Islamic microfinance in Mauritania due to the scarcity of studies in the geographical context.
Financial Literacy and the Impact of Movement Control Order (MCO) Among the Muslim Mompreneurs: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Yusoff Syarah Syahira Mohd
Published: June 2021

This empirical paper investigates how the mompreneurs manage their businesses during the Covid 19 lockdown and how the pandemic affects their family. The role of a mother in a family encompasses the livelihood of the family members, which extends to the family’s financial standing. A mother’s role in a family ranges from a homemaker and, to a certain extent, a financial provider. In Malaysia, it was reported in 2018 that 60.2% of entrepreneurs are housewives. However, it is believed that many women are working at and from home with high cost of living, especially in urban areas. They become home-based entrepreneurs, especially during this unprecedented pandemic, i.e. Covid-19, and restricted by the Movement Control Order (MCO). This study adopted an exploratory qualitative study whereby six (6) mompreneurs who are operating their businesses from home were interviewed to understand how the pandemic and the lockdown have affected their lives. This paper further examines their coping mechanism to the pandemic and financial income during this crisis. Mompreneurs’ financial literacy is also observed in this paper to explore their financial understanding. This research is an exploratory study, and it only provides general ideas on how a home-based businesswoman survive and cope during the lockdown. The findings from this paper are suitable to be used as a benchmark for an extensive quantitative study in the future to further understand the behaviour of the mompreneurs, especially in Malaysia.

Published: June 2021

Financial inclusion (FI) appears to be one of the main global agendas as it is an essential way of reducing poverty and increasing the economic growth of a country. FI is the provision of financial services to all segments of society in a more convenient, quality, and affordable way. In this study, the authors analyzed the issues and challenges faced from the two perspectives of the Financial Institutions (FIs) and the rural B40 group concerning the way of pursuing the exclusive of FI. Primary data was collected by conducting semi-structured interviews with four expert bankers from the Financial Institutions (FIs) in Kuala Rompin, Pahang, and two representatives from the B40 customers in the rural areas of Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia. Based on the findings, barriers faced by the supply sides of the FIs include 1) high risk of cost and security, 2) barriers in communication and lack of financial education, and 3) lack of proof documents. The other challenges are 1) competition with the conventional institutions, 2) default risk due to non-payment, and 3) internet connection problem. On the demand side, the issues and challenges found include 1) lack of confidence, 2) lack of proof documents, 3) misuse of capital, and 4) lack of financial literacy. Henceforth, the findings have significant implications for the Islamic banking and finance industry in exploring the current barriers faced in delivering financial inclusion to the lower segment of the society in Malaysia.
Participatory Banking (PB) Taking Measures Against Covid-19 in Turkey: Issues and Proposed Strategies
Authors: Hassan Rusni , Zulfahmi Zulfahmi
Published: June 2021

Not much research has been carried out to examine Participatory Bank (PB) in Turkey. This is despite the fact that Turkey has a long history in Islamic civilisation. The legacy of strong Islamic law, the majority Muslim population, and the strategic location of the country have failed to serve as a catalyst to boost the market share of participatory banking in the country. The present study aims to explore problems, solutions, and strategies for developing PBs in Turkey. This research also captures the condition of PBs in facing the Covid-19 pandemic. The study adopts a qualitative method that uses library research benefitting from various sources of literature, namely books, journals, and other sources. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts including practitioners, regulators, and academicians who have direct involvement in PB. The findings are presented in the form of Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat (SWOT) of PBs in Turkey. Interestingly, the preliminary finding shows that the problems of PBs in Turkey stem from both internal and external factors. Lack of understanding and skills, and lack of good Shariah governance practices are the main internal factors. Lack of regulatory support, lack of public literacy, lack of academic research and educational institutions, and a regulatory system are the primary external factors. The study suggests two main solutions, namely internal and external solutions, as well as strategies to address the problems. This study could serve as a reference point for the regulator in formulating appropriate policy strategies to increase the market share of PB in Turkey.
Developing Cash Waqf Model as an Alternative Financing for Social Enterprises to Support Decent Work and Economic Growth in Indonesia
Authors: Fauziah Najim Nur
Published: June 2021

Social enterprises have substantially affected Indonesia’s economic growth and may contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs’) achievement. Social enterprises empower minority groups by giving greater accessibility to a facility for a sustainable means of livelihood to the low income and disadvantaged groups, which make up a considerable part of the population, thereby creating an inclusive workforce. However, financial issues still pose a challenge for the sustainability of social enterprises in Indonesia due to the awkward reconciliation of their social missions, a characteristic of their businesses, with the less attractive returns for their investors. Cash waqf is one of the Islamic social finance instruments accepted to invest and manage certain funds to solve different social challenges relevant to the SDGs. Hence, this study aims to achieve the following objectives: (i) to identify the current issues of social enterprises; and (ii) to propose an Integrated Cash Waqf Social Enterprise Business (ICWSE-B) model in achieving the SDG8 in Indonesia. This paper adopts a qualitative research method with primary data obtained mainly from interviews. The findings suggest that financing remains the most significant challenge for most social enterprise businesses. The study also introduced an innovative integrated business model of social enterprise and cash waqf known as the ICWSE-B model to solve many social enterprises’ financial issues. The proposed ICWSE-B model is considered most suitable for social enterprise as it supports decent work and economic growth of the SDGs.

Sobre o Desespero: São Paulo, Junho de 2013
Authors: Oliveira Fernando Bonadia de
Published: June 2021

Este artigo pretende analisar as jornadas de junho de 2013 na cidade de São Paulo, assumindo como perspectiva a definição de desespero elaborada por Bento de Espinosa (1632-1677) na parte III da Ética. A partir da ideia de que houve um sequestro da narrativa sobre as jornadas, o texto reconstitui a cobertura midiática dos quatro primeiros atos contra o aumento da tarifa do transporte público, ocorridos na cidade entre os dias 6 e 13 de junho. Em seguida, articula uma discussão a respeito das interfaces possíveis entre a filosofia prática de Espinosa e estes acontecimentos, evidenciando como, segundo certa interpretação, o desespero pode ser considerado o afeto predominante das jornadas, tendo como principal protagonista uma juventude organizada, combativa e crítica.
Semântica de Perguntas e Respostas
Authors: Schang Fabien
Published: June 2021

O presente artigo trata de um tipo especial de semântica de múltiplos valores: Semântica de Perguntas e Respostas, na qual valores lógicos são produtos de perguntas sobre predicados semânticos (’verdadeiro’, ’falso’, etc.) e respostas correspondentes (’sim’, ’não’ etc.). Pretende esclarecer algumas dificuldades relacionadas ao que se entende por atos básicos de fala, como afirmação e negação. Discordâncias profundas ocorrem sempre que dois falantes discordam acerca do significado das palavras que usam. No caso especial dos valores de verdade, Frege os tomou como os referentes de proposições que são classes de sentenças aceitas (’verdadeiras’) ou rejeitadas (’falsas’). Partindo dessa representação comum da verdade e da falsidade, é proposta uma estrutura algébrica geral ARnm, a fim de sistematizar o uso de valores de verdade em uma perspectiva dialética da lógica. Uma atenção especial é dada a dois pseudo-falantes radicalmente opostos, a saber: Heráclito e Nagarjuna, segundo os quais os valores deverdade se referem, respectivamente, a tudo e nada. No final, uma negação dialética (pseudo-hegeliana) é esboçada como uma função muito peculiar, a saber: como um operador ontológico gerador de objetos, semelhante ao operador aritmético gerador de sucessores Sn+1(x) aplicado a números inteiros e também combina com uma teoria generalizada de valores de verdade como nomes próprios milianos ou kripkeanos.

Inspirada por a distinção de Kripke entre os conceitos de analiticidade e a aprioridade através do conceito auxiliar de necessidade, a tese central desse artigo é que tem mais tipos de atitudes políticas do que esperado ; a falta de algumas delas no espectro político vem de uma confusão profunda entre o conceitos de direita e de conservatismo. Alem disso, a separação entre dois tipos de ordem ”“econoÌ‚mico e moral, justificará as atitudes mais originais de ‘conservatismo de esquerda’ e de ‘progressismo de direita’ enquanto explicara as noções ambíguas de centros e extremos políticos. Em conclusão, uma comparação entre valores políticas e valores lógicos ”“verdade e falsidade, permitira uma explicação das atitudes ambivalentes ‘esquerda e direita’ e ‘nem de esquerda nem de direita’ ou como casos de confusões conceituas ou como um colapso do discurso político no ‘extremo-centro’.
O jogo “Eu Autônomo” como um instrumento de reflexão para a aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras
Authors: Silva Walkyria Passos Magno e , Silva Fernanda Souza e
Published: June 2021

Autonomia na aprendizagem de línguas é essencial para o desenvolvimento da competência em língua estrangeira. Impossível aprender uma língua sem executar, de forma contínua, ações que vão muito além daquelas demandadas por um professor. No entanto, organizar metacognitivamente o processo de autonomização sempre foi um desafio para grande parte dos estudantes. Tassinari (2015) propõe um modelo que visa auxiliar nesse processo. Este artigo, além de discutir as bases individuais do processo de autonomização, transforma o modelo proposto em um jogo a ser executado coletivamente. O texto mostra como isso foi feito e os resultados de um emprego experimental do mesmo em uma turma de aprendentes de níveis diferentes. Os resultados mostram que houve uma maior conscientização, por parte dos estudantes, do que significa aprender uma língua e quais as diferentes dimensões que precisam ser mobilizadas para que essa aprendizagem seja eficiente.

Published: June 2021

Linguistic, socio-cultural, communicative, and cognitive characteristics of the folklore discourse were studied based on the folk lullaby texts in order to identify the nationally driven informative “stimulus” of the cultural and historical context that determines the unified communicative and pragmatic space of lullabies. Through descriptive, comparative, and stylistic analysis, the texts of lullabies were considered as a cultural and historical “code” translating the most important attitudes, which are essential for the successful socialization of a child. It was shown that the folk conceptual framework is based on four semantic units. It was proved that lullabies have aesthetic, emotional, and pedagogical influences on children’s consciousness through both verbal and non-verbal communicative tools. As a result of the analysis of the textual and non-textual characteristics of lullabies, it was concluded that this genre is a universal source of the age-old knowledge and experience for children, which guides them to the world of adults.
Morphological Criterion for Distinguishing between Abstract and Concrete Nouns: An Experimental Approach
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Kazan, 420008 Russia, Volskaya Yu.A.
Published: June 2021

In this paper, the problem of using a morphological criterion for distinguishing between abstract nouns and other lexico-grammatical categories of the Russian language was studied. The experimental data were obtained as part of the work on compiling an electronic semantic dictionary of Russian abstract nouns with the help of the methodology used to create a similar dictionary for the English language. To date, the dictionary has had 1000 entries, each provided with the abstractness/concreteness index number. During the study, the nouns with the highest degree of abstractness (from 3.5 to 5) were selected. Based on the Large Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language by S.A. Kuznetsov and the Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language by D.N. Ushakov, the plural forms of these nouns and their usage were analyzed. It was revealed that the plural forms of the nouns under consideration can be used in at least one meaning. It was also discovered that the morphological criterion for distinguishing between the lexico-grammatical categories of concreteness/abstractness is not stable and, therefore, turns out to be inapplicable to a number of words.
Creative Personality in V.S. Vysotsky’s Individual Worldview
Authors:   Belgorod National Research University, Belgorod, 308015 Russia, Cheremohina D.A.
Published: June 2021

This paper considers a fragment of V.S. Vysotsky’s worldview through which his attitude to creativity is seen through the prism of the poetically gifted character. A step-by-step method with the artistic concept of creation as the main methodological tool was used for the analysis. The content of the above concept was identified on the basis of the following lyrics: “My bride will truly sob for me” (‘Za menya nevesta otrydaet chestno’, “The seventh string” (‘Sed’maya struna’), and “Silver strings” (‘Serebryanye struny’). The lexemes struna (‘string’) and gitara (‘guitar’) representing the concept of creation function as the leitmotifs in V.S. Vysotsky’s lyrics. They define the directions of association (linguistic, literary, reference, cultural) and the personality of the lyric character through his attitudes to friends, beloved woman, freedom, and life in general. These attitudes in V.S. Vysotsky’s artistic world are determined by the ideologically important opposition of “one’s own – alien”, a nuclear part of the concept of creation that influences its content. It was concluded that the concept of creation shaping the image of the lyric character and his behavior is represented in the studied lyrics by the associative series of tvorchestvo – svoboda – dusha – zhizn’ (‘creativity – freedom – soul – life’) and functions against the background of the opposition of “one’s own – alien”.

The verbal and structural features of the reader comment, a genre of Internet communication, were studied. The method of sentiment analysis (ParallelDots API) was used to reveal and measure the emotive component of the reader comments (N = 3000) in the English and Russian languages. The results obtained were verified by the manual linguistic text analysis. The experts were specialists in the field of philology of the English and Russian languages (N = 6), students of philology, as well as native speakers of the Russian language for whom English is a foreign language, i.e., their level of proficiency is C1 (N = 4). As a result of the comparison of the data collected through the automated and manual text processing, a number of factors that reduce the reliability of the results of automated sentiment analysis of the reader comments were singled out. Difficulties hindering the objective determination of the sentiment by the program were found in the reader comments in both analyzed languages. This is indicative of the structural similarities between the English and Russian reader comments at the lexical and syntactic levels. The feasibility of the mixed automated and manual text processing in order to obtain more detailed and objective data was demonstrated. The results of this work can be used for comparative studies of two or more languages performed by the method of sentiment analysis, as well as for drawing parallels between the lexical, grammatical, and cultural components of languages.

Translation techniques used to adapt original song lyrics to other languages were considered. The research is highly relevant, because no methodological basis has been developed for equirhythmics as a special type of translation. A total of 272 cases obtained by the method of continuous sampling among the Russian covers of foreign songs were analyzed. A variety of lexical, grammatical, and lexical-grammatical equirhythmic translation techniques were singled out: generalization, omission, expansion, integral transformation, change of grammatical indicators, etc. The important influence exercised by the equiphonic component on the quality of equirhythmic translation was emphasized. It was concluded that equirhythmic translation is extremely challenging, but it provides a whole number of opportunities for translators to create a highly equivalent and adequate covers of foreign songs.

Aim/Purpose: The authors provide different technology applications useful in online instruction in addition to providing effective strategies for use in a virtual environment.

Background: Last year, educators were forced to move their instruction online almost overnight. Many were not prepared to teach effectively in a virtual environment.

Contribution: This paper serves as a resource to educators who are unfamiliar with teaching online as well as for those who would like to enhance their current practice.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Be flexible when teaching in a virtual environment. Remain open to using new and unfamiliar technologies. Be consistent in providing feedback to students and communicate frequently with them.

Impact on Society: The abrupt transition for educators, as well as for most workplaces, to an exclusively online environment in response to COVID has long-lasting effects in how business as usual will be conducted. Being proficient and comfortable in navigating a virtual environment is essential.

Future Research: As we continue to work virtually, ongoing research that informs our practice is critical for remaining effective educators. Additionally, it is important to remain knowledgeable about current and new technologies available to us.

ТЕОРЕТИЧНИЙ АНАЛІЗ ПСИХОЛОГІЧНИХ ОСОБЛИВОСТЕЙ ПЕРФЕКЦІОНІЗМУ У ЮНАЦЬКОМУ ВІЦІ
Authors: Марчук Сніжана
Published: June 2021

Мета. У статті розкрито теоретичний аналіз психологічних особливостей перфекціонізму у юнацькому віці. Мета статті полягає в теоретичному аналізі психологічних особливостей перфекціонізму у юнацькому віці.

Методи. В основу дослідження покладено теоретичні методи: аналіз, синтез та узагальнення наукових джерел із проблем вивчення перфекціонізму та психологічних особливостей юнацького віку.

Результати. До результатів належить теоретичний аналіз базових позицій вивчення перфекціонізму в осіб юнацького віку. Представлено огляд досліджень різних науковців до причин виникнення перфекціоністських тенденцій. Стаття містить опис деяких вікових особливостей виникнення і розвитку перфекціонізму. Проведений аналіз наукової літератури вказує на те, що батьки мають істотний вплив на розвиток перфекціонізму у дітей. Доведено, що проблема перфекціонізму досить нова в українській науковій літературі, і наявність потреби дослідження перфекціонізму вимагає більш глибокого аналізу цього феномену на сучасному етапі розвитку психологічної науки в Україні. Також стаття містить детальний опис психологічних особливостей періоду юнацтва, зокрема, новоутворень у юнацькому віці та кризи ідентичності. Описані окремі індивідуально-типологічні передумови розвитку перфекціонізму. Зазначено актуальність вивчення перфекціонізму саме в юнацькому віці. У статті визначено, що кожен тип перфекціонізму має вплив на формування особистості юнаків. Ступінь вираженості кожного типу перфекціонізму в юнацькому віці є різним. Констатовано, що найбільш представленим є високий рівень перфекціонізму, орієнтованого на себе в осіб юнацького віку.

Висновки. У висновках зазначено, що перфекціонізм як психологічний феномен має значний вплив на формування особистості. Для юнацького віку є характерними завищені вимоги до себе, тому юнаки вважають, що оточуючі пред’являють їм завищені вимоги. Відповідно до наукових досліджень, високий рівень перфекціонізму, орієнтованого на себе, найбільш характерний для осіб юнацького віку.
ПСИХОЛОГІЧНІ ПРИНЦИПИ КОМУНІКАЦІЙ ПРИ СТВОРЕННІ УПРАВЛІНСЬКИХ КОМАНД
Authors: Черкаський Андрій

Мета статті – розглянути та проаналізувати основні принципи й теоретичні моделі комунікацій в управлінських командах. Методи. В основу дослідження покладено теоретичні методи: аналіз й узагальнення наукових джерел із проблем вивчення комунікації в управлінських командах. Результати. У статті наведено основні визначення поняття «комунікація» в сучасній науці, проаналізовано процеси комунікації, що забезпечують ефективну роботу команди. Зазначено, що міжособистісне спілкування, обмін інформацією, тобто комунікація між членами команди, виступає основою для безпосереднього об’єднання людей в інтересах отримання синергетичного ефекту від спільної діяльності. Особливий акцент на тому, що здатність людей спілкуватися один з одним, тобто встановлювати канали комунікації, не є єдиною умовою створення команд. Для команд важливим є формування ними комплексу власних норм і правил спільної роботи, рольова структура виконання обов’язків, особлива організаційна культура і стиль управління і т.д., однак всі вони можуть бути вироблені командою тільки за наявності добре сформованої системи комунікації між її учасниками. Отже, в командах вибудовується більш потужна мережа комунікаційних каналів, як за розгалуженістю, так і за обсягом інформації, що по них проходить. У сучасних умовах здатність команд до створення системи комунікації – одна з ключових їхніх компетенцій, а найважливішою умовою формування комунікаційного потенціалу команди є довіра її учасників один до одного. Створення атмосфери довіри в команді є важливою складовою побудови і розвитку комунікаційної мережі, формування комунікаційної дифузії, відсутність яких фактично стане непереборною перешкодою для створення командами свого загального людського потенціалу, перетворення персоніфікованих знань в командні знання. У висновках зазначено, що командна комунікація дозволяє не тільки забезпечити кращу реалізацію знань, умінь і навичок кожного учасника команди на своєму робочому місці, але і сформувати механізм, що забезпечує потоки ідей, знань і спостережень від одного члена команди до всіх його колег. Звернено увагу на те, що важливе значення має підготовка керівників команд, всього управлінського персоналу, навчання методів налагодження комунікаційних каналів, як по горизонталі, так і по вертикалі.

Background: Nutrition is the real determinant of human health. The development of children into healthy adults is dependent on their growth, in a healthy environment and having balanced nutrition. Objective: (1) To determine the association of nutritional status of children with their age, sex and socioeconomic status. (2) To compare the nutritional status of government school children and private school children. Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional. Settings: Study was conducted in two schools of Faisalabad, Pakistan. Government Girls high school, Punjab Medical College (PMC), Colony Faisalabad and The Smart School, Faisalabad. Duration: Eight months from Jan 01, 2020 – Aug 30, 2020. Methodology: The study was conducted on 200 children, including males & females, to compare weights and heights among government (government) and private (private) schools. Age groups ranging from 9 above to 14 years were being studied. The data was collected by taking anthropometric measures, height and weight, of the students. To assess the nutritional status, the anthropometric measurement of WHO 2007 reference was used as Weight for Age Z-score (WAZ), Height for Age Z-score (HAZ) and Body Mass Index (BMI) for Age Z-score (BAZ). Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation test were used for statistical analysis. Data was analyzed statistically by using SPSS version 20. Results: The weight of private school children (39.3400 ± 2.39199) was normal as they have adequate diet as compared to government school children (38.7500 ± 1.43812) while 2% children were over weighted. Height of private school children (147.7600 ± 5.04949) was more as compared to government school children (146.8100 ± 4.34310). Statistically Pearson Correlation between weight of private and government school’s children was highly significant, p=0.000, df= 1, CI= 95%. Demographic information with height and weight of the children were taken. Z-score was calculated and graphs were plotted. A value within ± 2 SD in these graphs was considered as normal. Conclusion: Socio-economic status affects the availability and quality of food. For under-weight Children, unhygienic and low-quality food/stuffs are the major contributing factors.
