Public management in the conditions of European integration and globalization: challenges and prospects
Authors: Melnychenko Bohdana
Published: September 2024

The article reveals the peculiarities of the development of public management in Ukraine in the conditions of European integration and globalization. It has been established that public management is a complex and multifaceted entity as an object of scientific knowledge, the basis of which is a concept based on the close relationship between politics and law, management and power, the political system and society in general, as well as the interaction of society with various elements of social systems. It is noted that there is No. stable, comprehensive and universally recognized formulation of public management in the literature. The definition of public management is approached rather from the standpoint of the actual content of the activity or the forms it can take. It was revealed that the main characteristics of the public management system in each state depend on the state structure, political regime and political culture, functioning of political institutions, electoral system, relations between politicians and civil servants, between authorities and institutions of civil society. It was established that the processes of globalization and integration are especially relevant for the development of the modern period of public management. It is emphasized that an important problem for the domestic management system is the search for effective concepts of public management and their implementation in the modern state-building practice.This issue becomes particularly relevant in view of the fact that, having ratified the Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and their member states, on the other hand, Ukraine has defined the state policy as such, aimed at bringing the standard of living of Ukrainian citizens closer to European standards, instilling European values in all spheres of functioning of the Ukrainian state and society. It was concluded that European integration and globalization make their own corrections in state management, and now the focus is on ensuring the effective work of public management in the face of European integration and globalization challenges. One of the main options for the effectiveness of public management in those conditions is the full consolidation of efforts and mutual understanding at all its levels, which is now extremely important, the establishment of close cooperation with society.

Although Schema Therapy has emerged as an effective treatment for a large
range of psychopathology, there is limited research on its effectiveness with
children and adolescents, especially for preventive purposes, in individual or
group settings and with the involvement of parents. Therefore, the aim of this
study was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of a newly developed group
prevention program based on Schema Therapy (rationale, principles, and
techniques) for children and their parents. It is a psychoeducational,
developmentally-appropriate program addressing core emotional needs,
early maladaptive schemas, schema modes, coping styles, and parent-child
relationship with the aim of preventing the emergence of psychopathology
in children. Participants were 90 Greek children (aged 9-13) who attended
16 weekly meetings and their parents who attended 10 biweekly meetings.
The effectiveness of the program was evaluated with pre-and-postintervention
assessment (i.e., pre-experimental design). Children’s early
maladaptive schemas (self-reports) and strengths and difficulties (self- and
parent-reports), as well as parents’ early maladaptive schemas (self-reports)
were assessed. Results showed a significant decrease in most early
maladaptive schemas of children and in many early maladaptive schemas of
parents. A significant decrease was found in children’s emotional symptoms,
peer relationship problems and total difficulties score and a significant
increase in prosocial behavior. The supporting evidence for the effectiveness
of the program and the necessity of evidence-based prevention programs
based on Schema Therapy for children and parents are discussed.

We aimed to identify and report data from studies investigating associations
between loneliness and maladaptive cognitions.
Eighteen studies were included in the present systematic review. Findings
generally supported positive associations between loneliness and
maladaptive cognitions, and this pattern was consistent across different types
of cognitions. Maladaptive cognitions may represent vulnerability factors for
loneliness, but given that most evidence comes from studies reporting crosssectional
data in convenience samples, further research is needed to clarify
the nature and dynamic of the association.
Existing studies provide evidence for a relation between loneliness and
maladaptive cognitions, and support the relevance of further research on this
topic.

Obtusos sentidos, os “anúncios de arquitetura” de Bernard Tschumi
Authors: Pamplona Lis Dourado , Zonno Fabiola do Valle
Published: September 2024

O artigo parte da investigação sobre as relações entre fotografia e legenda na obra Advertisements for Architecture, de Bernard Tschumi, cujo conteúdo remete a uma série de cartazes criados entre 1976 e 1977 que se utilizam da linguagem da publicidade e dos anúncios de revista como veículo para questionar as próprias bases da disciplina. Nesse sentido, a partir daaproximação do arquiteto aos movimentos dos anos 1970 como a arte conceitual, a performance e a filosofia da imagem de Roland Barthes, o artigo pretende revisitar os textos de Bernard Tschumi e interpretar os cartazes de publicidade de arquitetura como questionamento da visão moderna sobre a autonomia das artes e especificidade dos meios; assim como ferramenta crítica de enfrentamento e aproximação à condição de reprodutibilidade das obras em diversasmídias pelas quais se propagam, se desconectam do seu tempo e espaço e se alteram em novos significados. Portanto, o artigo analisará a natureza dos cartazes como trânsito entre o real e o ficcional, como tentativa de ultrapassar o campo abstrato da teoria para ir em direção a realização do corpo no espaço, à comunicação com o outro e aos seus limites enquanto arquitetura.
Sexual and Asexual Propagation of Wild Lime (Zanthoxylum fagara L. Sarg.), a Native Florida Plant with Ornamental and Ecological Value
Authors: Mikell Lindsay , Wilson Sandra B. , Marble S. Christopher , Vendrame Wagner , van Santen Edzard
Published: September 2024

A series of four propagation studies were implemented to better understand the seed biology of wild lime (Zanthoxylum fagara L. Sarg. [Rutaceae]) and its adventitious rooting response to auxin treatments. Plant origin (north central vs south Florida ecotypes) did not affect initial seed viability but significantly influenced germination response to seasonal temperatures. Fifty-five days after sowing north central Florida seeds, germination was similar among spring, summer and fall treatments (28.9 to 41.1%), but was reduced by the winter temperature (10.7%). South Florida seeds showed greatest germination under the fall temperature (71.2%), and the least germination under the summer temperature (30.2%). Additional seed treatments including applications of gibberellic acid (GA3) with kinetin nominally improved germination by 1.2 times compared to non-treated seed. Seeds tolerated cryopreservation treatments, including combinations of a plant vitrification solution, liquid nitrogen, phloroglucinol and precooling, suggesting long-term storage capability. As an alternative to seed propagation, cutting propagation was found to be a reliable means of reproducing wild lime with 91.0% rooting success when softwood cuttings were treated with 8,000 mg·kg−1 (0.13 oz·lb−1) indole-butyric acid (IBA), compared to 3,000 mg·kg−1 (0.05 oz·lb−1) IBA (86.3%) or the non-treated control (71.2%).

Species used in this study: Wild lime, Zanthoxylum fagara (L. Sarg).

Chemicals used in this study: 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride (TZ); sodium hypochlorite solution (Clorox bleach); gibberellic acid (GA3); kinetin (kinetin), plant vitrification solution 2 (PVS2); liquid nitrogen (LN); phloroglucinol (phloroglucinol); glycerol (glycerol); dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); MS media (Murashige and Skoog media), sucrose (sucrose); 15N-5P-15K liquid fertilizer (Peters Excel Cal-Mag Special); indole-3-butyric acid (IBA); 14N-14P-14K slow-release fertilizer (Osmocote).

Regardless of its size and intensity, a crisis will always affect people in their capacity as consumers in some way or another. But what happens, and how does it affect a crisis that appears and manifests once every 100 years, such as the COVID-19 pandemic? Although a definitive answer to this question may elude us, it is evident that the COVID-19 pandemic has plunged consumers into a realm of significant uncertainty, requiring them to prioritise their health. This heightened health consciousness has directly influenced their purchasing decisions and consumption patterns, leading to heightened scrutiny of food and agri-food product characteristics, particularly in the early stages of the pandemic. This research effort aims to understand how consumers perceive and report specific characteristics of food and agri-food products during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, a crisis that has significantly affected consumer behaviour. By applying and using the statistical method, correspondence analysis will be possible. Identifying and observing which features became more important to consumers during that period and how they relate to them will be possible. The results of this analysis will provide a detailed picture of how the pandemic has influenced the food and agri-food market, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of how significant crises affect consumer behaviour and, by implication, the food industry.

Given the rapid decline of Earth's resources, one of the world's priorities is to improve the circular economy of waste, given the huge quantities produced at the micro-level by each citizen. By creating new opportunities and jobs in the recycling and remanufacturing industries, the transition to a circular economy encourages innovation in the way products are made and increases recycling capacity. In a functioning circular economy, waste management must be the last link in a supply chain to feed the secondary materials market and provide raw materials for recycling companies. Aligning to the goals of sustainable development, it is important to establish solid waste management strategies that improve waste collection, recycling, and recovery processes. Based on data collected from EUROSTAT, from 2000 to 2022, for countries of the European Union, this study wants to investigate ways to optimise recycling processes and identify potential improvements at both macro- and microeconomic levels, quantitatively. Furthermore, this research provides an extensive overview of the current state of waste management in Romania, examining the recycling opportunities available to individuals for their active participation in the circular economy, within the framework of sustainable development. To analyse each person’s wishes and perceptions to take part in a more sustainable community, a questionnaire was launched in April 2024, with respondents of all ages (over 18), categorised on age buckets (18-24, 25-24, 35-44, 45-54, 55+), genders, regions, environment and level of education. The results of the research are analysed and discussed in this paper.

The paper examines the economic strategies of China and the European Union in promoting sustainable development through green innovations. Sustainable development, essential for economic growth, environmental protection, and social equity, necessitates the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies and practices. Numerous studies have explored these concepts separately, but only some have compared the economic strategies of major players like China and the EU, which account for about 1/3 of global GDP. The comparative analysis methodology was used to investigate the economic strategies of China and the EU, including insights from government policies and key sectors targeted for green innovation. Research questions concern the effectiveness of these strategies in promoting sustainable development and the differences in approaches between China and the EU. The results reveal significant disparities in their approaches and impact on the way to the development of green economies. China leans towards top-down government interventions and investments, while the EU emphasises regulatory frameworks and collaborative efforts focusing on bottom-up initiatives. Both global actors grapple with balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. Statistical data underscores the burgeoning growth of industries embracing green innovations, with the global market for green technology reaching $13.7 billion in 2022. While the development of Industry 4.0 is a common feature of both economies, their specialisations differ, so the need for further cooperation and exchange of goods remains. The paper also explores the impact of green innovations on industry competitiveness, showing that companies investing in environmentally friendly technologies gain market share. These findings underscore the importance of the country's strategies and international cooperation to tackle global environmental challenges. The paper offers a benchmarking of China and the EU's economic strategies for promoting sustainable development through green innovations. By synthesising the existing literature and providing insights into their differing approaches, it contributes to a better understanding of the effective strategies for global sustainable development.

Under the impact of today’s digitally driven world, digital skills integration into education becomes essential for equipping learners with the competencies mandatory for success in the 21st century. This paper investigates the transformative capability of digitalisation in education and intends to explain its impact on the development of digital literacy and digital skills among Gen Z. The current scientific literature highlights the crucial role of digital skills in fostering employability, promoting innovation, and driving social progress. However, there remains a significant gap in understanding how digitalisation proposals within education affect skill acquisition, educational equity, and broader societal implications. This research paper applies a powerful mixed-method research technique and blends qualitative analysis - through study and analysis of field literature and European-level reports - with quantitative analysis of statistical data. The research question that governs this investigation aims at examining discrepancies in access and use of digital resources across various demographic groups. The main results of this investigation uncover a complicated relationship between digitalisation and skills development across EU-27. While cyber technologies provide many opportunities for customised learning and collaboration, gaps still persist and exacerbate already existing inequalities. Additionally, this paper identifies the need for extensive educational methodologies that ensure a harmonious incorporation of digital tools into educational curricula. Consequently, this paper is instrumental to the field of knowledge because it provides a broad analysis of the digitalisation of education and links theoretical judgements with empirical evidence. Finally, this research is disclosing the challenges and opportunities inherent in the development of digital skills, which present eloquent insights for policymakers, professors, and researchers determined to channel the full potential of digital technologies in education.
Modelling the impact of snowmelt in flows in the Mansfield Hollow Lake Watershed in Connecticut, USA
Authors:   Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas, USA, Stella Juan M.
Published: September 2024

Storm runoff predictions are essential for minimizing flood hazards and increasing resilience to extreme weather events. In this study, an analysis was conducted to simulate snowmelt runoff in the Mansfield Hollow Lake Watershed, which is a tributary of the Thames River watershed in Connecticut, New England. The United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) model HEC-HMS was applied to simulate snowmelt runoff during the winter-spring of 2010 and 2019. The Mansfield Hollow Lake Watershed is composed of three main tributaries, namely the Fenton, Mount Hope, and Natchaug Rivers. These runoff simulations and the watershed response to snowmelt are crucial for evaluating the potential impacts of watershed management decisions, particularly during high-flow periods. The HEC-HMS model was calibrated during the 2010 event and validated for the 2019 events. The study found that for the snow storms during 2010 and 2019 events, HEC-HMS model provided highly accurate predictions of snowmelt runoff with R-squared and, Nash - Sutcliffe correlation values exceeding 0.76. These findings highlight the efficacy of HEC-HMS model for simulating snowmelt runoff and demonstrate the utility of such model in predicting and managing flood risks. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the potential impacts of snowmelt runoff and will inform future watershed management decisions in the Mansfield Hollow Lake Watershed and similar regions.

Vocabulary learning plays a crucial role in Chinese language teaching, and effectively using associative rules helps students to enlarge their active vocabulary. Relying solely on passive memorization often leads to poor learning outcomes, prompting teachers to consciously guide students in applying the vocabulary association method according to real-life situations during the learning process. Through practical teaching experience, the article emphasizes the significance of associating homophones, synonyms, antonyms, and other vocabulary words, while also employing the divergent associative thinking mode judiciously. The primary goal of this article is to propose innovative pedagogical approaches for Chinese language teaching. By discussing various associative methods for vocabulary teaching, the aim is to offer fresh ideas to enhance Chinese language instruction. It is evident that the associative method not only helps students to grasp the fundamental sounds, forms, and meanings but also ignites their intrinsic motivation. As their vocabulary expands, their overall listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills improve simultaneously. Employing diverse associations allows students to discern connections between words, facilitating better retention of vocabulary and increasing overall learning efficiency.
Пьеса «Бесприданница» и образ Ларисы в русском литературоведении

“Without a Dowry” by A.N. Ostrovsky is a new genre of psychological drama in Russian dramaturgy of the 19th-century. In Russia, the study of this play and the image of its heroine has a long history, with Russian researchers offering various interpretations. This article mainly explores the perceptions of the play “Without a Dowry” and the understanding of Larisa's image by Russian literary scholars. The analysis reveals contradictory interpretations of the heroine's image: some view her as a romantic, poetic figure with features of the Heavenly Maiden archetype, akin to the image of Katerina, a prisoner of the "dark kingdom". In contrast, others see her as a will less, weak, naive, inactive, and exalted heroine. Identifying the peculiarities of Larisa's reception in Russian literary studies is a necessary step for studying the reception of Ostrovsky's play in China and expanding these perceptions. This is because there is a tradition in Chinese literary studies to view Larisa's image as a variation of Katerina's image from “The Storm.” Moreover, in the context of China's historical and cultural situation in the 1940s, “Without a Dowry” is often understood as a social play.

The Effect of Education on the Knowledge Level, Awareness and Attitudes of Physiotherapy Students’ Towards Organ Donation and Transplantation
Authors: Kılavuz Ören Gönül
Published: September 2024

The current educational curriculum does not provide physiotherapists with adequate knowledge and skills regarding tissue and organ donation and transplantation. This study aims to investigate whether educational interventions on organ donation and transplantation lead to significant changes in physiotherapy students' knowledge, awareness, and attitudes.
The study involved 96 students from the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at a state university, with a mean age of 19.61±1.43 years. Data were gathered through face-to-face interviews and evaluated using a socio-demographic information form, the Organ-Tissue Donation and Transplantation Knowledge Scale, and the Organ Donation Attitude Scale. After administering a pre-test, a 60-minute educational session was conducted, followed by a post-test.
Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in the Organ Donation Knowledge Scale before and after the educational intervention (p=0.0001). Significant differences were also observed in the Organ Donation Attitudes Scale, the Humanity and Moral Conviction sub-dimension, the Fears of Medical Neglect sub-dimension, the Fears of Bodily Mutilation sub-dimension, and the Total Negative Attitudes sub-dimension (p=0.0001).
Healthcare professionals play a critical role in informing and guiding people about organ donation for increasing awareness and encouraging positive attitudes. Therefore, providing comprehensive and effective education on organ donation and transplantation to physiotherapists can significantly enhance their ability to improve public knowledge and attitudes towards organ donation.
