Intersectional examination of transgender women in South Korea: a case study of the dismissal of the first transgender officer by the Ministry of National Defense
Authors: Park Jungman , LIU Jianwen
Published: April 2024

This paper presents an intersectional examination of transgender women in South Korea, focusing on the dismissal of the first transgender officer, Hee-soo Byun (who committed suicide later after the dismissal), by the Ministry of National Defense in 2021. Drawing on the principles of Korean feminism and the third-wave feminist emphasis on intersectionality, the study examines the intersecting factors of gender identity, military service, and institutional policies that contribute to the marginalization and mistreatment of transgender individuals. By investigating the multifaceted challenges experienced by transgender women in South Korea, this paper highlights the complex dynamics of discrimination, taking into account the unique cultural and socio-political context of Korean society. This article aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on transgender rights, gender equality, and feminist activism in South Korea, providing insights to inform future discussions, policies, and actions aimed at promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities for transgender individuals within the context of military service and beyond.
Wybrane wyzwania prawne InsurTech na przykładzie robo-doradztwa
Authors: Olechowski Piotr Artur
Published: April 2024

Celem artykułu jest ocena prawna rozwiązań technologicznych wprowadzanych na rynek ubezpieczeniowy, tzn. udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy zjawisko InsurTech na przykładzie robo-doradztwa powoduje pojawienie się innych zagrożeń dla klientów, a w konsekwencji odmiennych wyzwań prawnych. W związku z tym pojawia się pytanie o odpowiedniość obowiązujących regulacji prawnych. Do ich oceny wykorzystano analizę formalno-dogmatyczną oraz krytykę i analizę piśmiennictwa. Przeprowadzona analiza prowadzi do konkluzji, że nowości technologiczne implementowane do sektora ubezpieczeniowego diametralnie zmieniają istotę omawianego zjawiska w przeciwieństwie do dystrybucji ubezpieczeń dokonywanej w sposób konwencjonalny. Takie stanowisko musi co najmniej skłaniać do poszukiwania odrębnych niż dotychczas interpretacji obowiązujących przepisów, które pozwolą zneutralizować nowo powstałe zagrożenia. Autor zauważa i tłumaczy, jak wybrane obowiązki wynikające z dyrektywy (UE) 2016/97 w sprawie dystrybucji ubezpieczeń (IDD) oraz jej implementacji do polskiego prawa (ustawy z 15 grudnia 2017 r. o dystrybucji ubezpieczeń) powinny być z tego względu inaczej rozumiane. Tematyka artykułu jest wyjątkowo aktualna ze względu na bogaty rozwój w dzisiejszym świecie zjawiska InsurTech. Każdy ubezpieczyciel wprowadza coraz to nowe rozwiązania tego typu do swojego przedsiębiorstwa, choćby w celu optymalizowania prowadzenia działalności. W związku z powyższym, jest to proces nie do zatrzymania i konieczne jest prowadzenie badań w tym zakresie.
O logicznych podstawach relacji specjalności w prawie karnym: uwagi krytyczne do koncepcji Władysława Woltera
Authors: Rachalski Michał
Published: April 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu jest krytyka koncepcji Władysława Woltera, zgodnie z którą w prawie karnym relacja specjalności (lex specialis) opiera się na logicznym stosunku rozłączności, a nie – jak to się zwykle przyjmuje – podrzędności. Koncepcja ta do dzisiaj istotnie wpływa zarówno na teorię, jak i praktyczne stosowanie prawa karnego w Polsce. W krytykowanym tutaj ujęciu rozpoznanie takiego stosunku rozłączności poprzedza przeprowadzenie interpretacyjnego zabiegu uzupełnienia opisu typu czynu podstawowego o zaprzeczenie znamion specjalizujących z typu szczególnego. Przeprowadzona przez autora krytyka ma głównie charakter wewnętrzny: zmierza do konfrontacji argumentów Woltera przede wszystkim z przyjmowanymi przezeń założeniami metodologicznymi, a także ogólnometodologicznymi kryteriami spójności i prawidłowości rozumowania. W tym kontekście podjęto próbę wykazania sprzeczności, a co najmniej niepożądanych konsekwencji, narosłych na prezentowanych przez Woltera twierdzeniach. Takie sprzeczności czy niechciane konsekwencje ujawniają się szczególnie na dwóch obszarach: przy próbie ustalenia wzajemnych relacji pomiędzy dwoma typami szczególnymi oraz w kontekście tego, co nazywa się jednorodnym zbiegiem jednoczynowym. Pozostawienie takich dysfunkcjonalności samym sobie świadczy o poważnych wadach koncepcji Woltera. Z kolei próba naprawienia koncepcji w tym zakresie wymaga skorzystania z rozumowań teleologicznych, co podważa pierwotną tezę Woltera o jej stricte logicznych podstawach.
Real earnings management, CEO experience, family ownership, and external audits: A meta-analysis
Authors: Nowicki Mikołaj
Published: April 2024

This article analyses the relationship between real earnings management (REM) and corporate governance variables, including family ownership, external audit quality, and CEO experience. The studies analysed were published between 2006 and 2021. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the implementation of international financial reporting standards have led companies to reduce the use of accrual earnings management (AEM), and instead adopt real earnings management. However, many authors claim that using REM might harm a company’s long-term wellbeing, which accentuates the need to study the determinants of REM. The variables analysed in this paper are extensively covered in the literature, however, there is still ambiguity regarding their relationship with REM due to conflicting findings; some studies indicate a positive relationship, while others show a negative one. To resolve this ambiguity, meta-regression analysis is employed. The results indicate a positive relationship between family ownership and REM. This highlights the need to explore other forms of ownership to determine the most effective ownership structure that does not increase REM. This is of interest to legislators. The results provide no evidence to support the statistical or economic significance of CEO experience and external audit in relation to REM.
Financial implications of the process of shrinking Polish cities for selected aspects of city budgets
Authors: Wichowska Anna
Published: April 2024

Contemporary demographic processes involving the decline and aging of the population and the accompanying economic crisis in many cities around the world are referred to as shrinking. The causes and effects of this phenomenon are still insufficiently explained. The article investigates the financial effects of shrinking on the budgets of Polish cities. The article aims to indicate how the loss of inhabitants may affect the city’s economy, and thus the city’s budget, and to identify and assess differences between selected budget categories in shrinking cities and in those cities that have not experienced the problem of depopulation. First, a literature review was conducted, followed by a financial analysis of the budgets of shrinking cities, which was supplemented with a comparative analysis of the selected revenues and expenditures of budgets of cities that were not undergoing the shrinking process. The research period covered the years 2018–2022. As the analyses show, the way in which cities’ demographic problems impact their financial situation occurs through the economy, the condition of which in the era of knowledge-based economies depends on human capital resources. The financial analysis of selected budget indicators allowed us to conclude that shrinking cities had much lower budget revenues per capita, lower revenue independence, and lower budget expenditures. The opposite situation was observed in the case of expenditure on benefits for natural persons, the higher level of which in shrinking cities confirmed the need for greater involvement of cities in financing social policy.
Krótki opis długiej historii języka polskiego
Authors: Dunaj Bogusław
Published: April 2024

The article offers an overview of the history of Polish language from the 9th century up to the present moment. The development of the Polish language was informed by two processes, namely, linguistic diversification, which caused dialectal differences, and integration, which contributed to the constitution of the literary language. The first half of the 16th century constitutes a critical period in the evolution of Polish language. It is then that the inception of the literary language took place. Here, the invention of print turned out to be a communicative breakthrough, predominantly because it facilitated language integration. Consecutive stages in the history of Polish language were connected with historic events, like the loss of Polish independence and its regaining. Such events brought about changes in the status of Polish language. The most recent period in the history of Polish language begins in 1989, when vital socio-political changes, as well as the information technology revolution took place. It is also the time when the integrative processes intensified, and began including geographical, as well as stylistic linguistic variations (predominantly, by the expansion of colloquial Polish into other functional varieties of the language).
Słowniczek wyrazów weterynarskich wobec polskiej terminologii weterynarynej w Słowniku terminologii lekarskiej polskiej
Authors: Jankowiak Lucyna Agnieszka
Published: April 2024

The aim of the article is to compare materials from two 19th-century dictionaries that comprise Polish veterinary terminology: Słowniczek wyrazów weterynarskich of 1876 and Słownik terminologii lekarskiej polskiej of 1881. In the dictionary of 1881 there are 284 entries out of 297 contained in the lexicon of 1876. Of these, only 258 entries are full entries. The comparison of their editing in both dictionaries shows that in the lexicon of 1881, 3 foreign headwords had fewer Polish equivalents, 21 had more Polish terms, and 228 had the same number of Polish equivalents. The quantitative changes in the last two groups were accompanied by qualitative changes, involving the replacement of Polish terms. The analysis of Polish veterinary terminology has also shown its strong connections with Polish medical terminology of the time.
Mesoscale mechanics investigation of multi-component solid propellant systems
Authors: Zhang Lipeng , Chen Chen , Tang Xianqiong , Zhou Xing
Published: April 2024

To enhance the mechanical properties of the Nitrate Ester Plasticized Polyether solid propellant matrix, the uniaxial tension of multi-component systems is simulated and the factors influencing the mechanical properties of the propellant matrix are investigated. First, mesoscale models of five types of systems include poly alpha olefin (PAO(3)), polyethylene glycol (PEG200, PEG400, PEG600), and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) are established, followed by uniaxial tensile simulations. The results show PEG600, PEG400, PEG200, BDO, and PAO(3) in order of enhancing the mechanical performance of the matrix. Second, the diffusion behavior of nitroglycerin (NG) and butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN) in various systems is investigated. The results show that NG exhibits higher diffusion capacity than BTTN, and the diffusion coefficient increases with an increment in the molecular weight of PEG. Additionally, the influence of different plasticizer ratios (2.8–3.0), curing parameters (1.58–1.62), and chain extension parameters (0.08–0.10) on the mechanical properties of the PEG600 system are investigated. The results demonstrate that as the plasticizer ratio increases, there is a gradual decrease in the modulus of the matrix. Additionally, an increase in the curing parameter leads to a substantial enhancement in the tensile strength of the matrix, while increasing the chain extension parameter significantly expands the maximum tensile length of the matrix. Finally, employing the Slip-Spring model, the effects of the physical and chemical cross-linked network of the propellant are simulated. The result shows that increasing the content of a chemical cross-linked network significantly improves the tensile strength of the matrix.

Authors: Čukljek Snježana , Županić Mara , Takšić Iva
Published: April 2024

Objectives

To develop and validate a questionnaire on satisfaction with clinical practice for mentors (QSCP-M) and a questionnaire on satisfaction with clinical practice for students (QSCP-S).

Methods

Two versions of the questionnaires were constructed: a version for mentors and a version for students. Both surveys were conducted at two time points. The first survey was completed by 252 students and 86 mentors, and the second by 291 students and 94 mentors.

Results

Several exploratory factor analyses were performed on the results obtained, and two factors were identified for the QSCP-M and one factor for the QSCP-S. The coefficients of internal reliability for both questionnaires indicated stable and reliable measuring instruments.

Conclusions

Clinical practice satisfaction questionnaires for mentors and students showed good metric characteristics. The validation shows that both questionnaires are appropriate for examining general and specific satisfaction with clinical practice.

HWWI Commodity Price Index: A Technical Documentation of the 2023 Revision
Authors: Berlemann Michael , Eurich Marina , Meyer Hennes
Published: April 2024

The HWWI Commodity Price Index, which aims at reflecting price developments of raw materials imported by highly industrialized countries, dates back to the 1950s. This paper explains the calculation of the index at the example of its latest revision, which became effective on 1st September 2023. While the index and its subindices are still calculated for OECD and European Momentary Union countries at four different frequencies (annual, monthly, quarterly and daily) for two different currencies (USD, EUR), it now additionally includes index values for several weighting periods (long-term: 2012–2021, pre-crisis: 2017–2019 and crisis years: 2020–2021), for individual countries and for different perspectives (daily revised, real-time and historical time series). The paper also provides detailed information on the employed methodology and the input data (commodities, import data, prices) used to calculate the weights and the index values. Although the revision is not without effect on the resulting index values, especially throughout the crises periods, the correlation between the initial and the revised index remains very high.
Agrobiodiversity threats amid expanding woody monocultures and hopes nourished through farmer and food movements in the Mediterranean

Published: April 2024

The high biodiversity of food and agriculture (agrobiodiversity) in the Mediterranean exists in rapidly changing landscapes and food systems. The first goal of this Commentary is to explain how agrobiodiverse Mediterranean food cereals and legumes are threatened by the accelerating expansion and intensification of monocultures of woody crops—principally olive, nut, grape, and citrus monocrops—in landscapes of the western Mediterranean (Spain, Morocco, and France). Its second goal is to explain the key countervailing force of specific food and farmer movements, organizations, and practices supporting agrobiodiversity. We argue this food agrobiodiversity support is timely and vital because of growing threats. Intensive woody monocultures have been promoted for climate change adaptation and policies, while the proposed agroecological alternatives to woody monocultures show a mixed record regarding the support of food agrobiodiversity. The Mediterranean’s boom of woody monocultures relies on increased irrigation, including groundwater extraction, that undermines water sustainability. We engage with policy to explain how the timely support of food agrobiodiversity by farmer and food movements and practices demonstrates the production–consumption linkages that can strengthen sustainability, biodiversity conservation, and climate change adaptation/mitigation. Our policy arguments focus on the promising bridge of agrobiodiversity’s production–consumption linkages to agroecology as an increasingly influential approach in these policy sectors. Finally, as a key complementary goal, we reflect on current agrobiodiversity-monoculture challenges by engaging the broad themes of rural–urban networks and urbanization in the Mediterranean, the land sparing versus land sharing debate, and the Plantationocene concept. Each thematic reflection enhances the understanding of food agrobiodiversity threats and support, landscapes of mixed agrobiodiversity and intensified woody monocultures (monoculture-agrobiodiversity landscapes), and relevant policy insight.
Outcomes of total hip arthroplasty using collared versus collarless uncemented HA-coated stems: a meta-analysis
Authors: Ait-Si-Selmi Tarik , Vidalain Jean-Pierre , Ramos-Pascual Sonia , Kuratle Thomas , Saffarini Mo , Dejour Edouard , Bonnin Michel P
Published: April 2024

Purpose

to systematically review comparative studies reporting revision rates, clinical outcomes, or radiographic outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using collared versus collarless conventional-length uncemented hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated stems.

Methods

In adherence with PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was performed on Medline, Embase, and Scopus. Comparative clinical studies were eligible if they reported outcomes of collared versus collarless uncemented HA-coated stems for primary THA. Two reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full-texts to determine eligibility; then performed data extraction; and assessed the quality of studies according to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist.

Results

The search returned 972 records, 486 were duplicates, and 479 were excluded after title/abstract/full-text screening. Three further studies were included from the references of eligible studies and from discussions with subject matter experts, resulting in 11 included studies. The JBI checklist indicated six studies scored ≥7 points and four studies ≥4 points. Pooled data revealed collared stems had significantly lower revision rates (OR = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.31–0.64) and subsidence (MD = −1 mm; 95% CI = −1.6–-0.3), but no significant difference in intraoperative complication rates (OR = 0.94; 95% CI = 0.67–1.32) in the short term to mid-term. Unpooled data indicated that collared stems provide equivalent survival, equivalent or better outcomes, and equivalent or lower complication rates.

Conclusion

In comparative studies, collared stems have lower revision rates than collarless stems, as well as equivalent or better clinical and radiographic outcomes. Differences could be due to a protective effect that the collar offers against subsidence, particularly in undersized or misaligned stems. Further studies are warranted to confirm long-term results and better understand differences between registry data and clinical studies.

Published: April 2024

Brachymetatarsia involves a reduction in length of one or more metatarsals.

The affected metatarsal is shortened by 5 mm or more, altering the normal metatarsal parabola.

In addition to being an aesthetic deformity, it can present with pain due to transfer metatarsalgia.

A possible association with genetic disorders needs to be investigated during clinical evaluation.

Surgical treatment may involve a one-stage lengthening procedure or progressive distraction, each having its advantages and limitations.
Religiosity and videogames
Authors: Kolkunova Ksenia
Published: April 2024

The study of video games in the context of religious studies of popular culture is one of the fastest growing fields. Here the interests of researchers of games, media, modern religious processes, youth and many other fields of research intersect. In this article we will turn to how the “effects” paradigm manifests itself in the field of video games, an approach to the study of popular culture through the prism of its influence on a person or society as a whole. Here the tradition of phenomenological and structuralist research turns out to be important, and the main conclusion is the danger, some destructive potential of games. The strong influence of video games on the minds is noted not only by researchers, but also by representatives of religious organizations that specifically create computer games for educational, missionary and, generally speaking, entertainment purposes.An alternative to such a focus is being sought and found by researchers from the interdisciplinary field of studying video games and religion, which is already developing in the 21st century. There is a study of communities of gamers, the narratives they create, and research from the field of social psychology and even aesthetics. Video games are no longer perceived only as a carrier of an idea that is potentially dangerous and has a one-sided impact on the consumer, but rather as a space of co-creation, interaction and active participation of all involved - the players, their environment, those who create the games. This field can be a source for new research in the field of contemporary religious processes.
The concept of the “transcendental” in the system of transcendental Monismof V. D. Kudryavtsev-Platonov
Authors: Rozhin David
Published: April 2024

The aim of the article is to clarify the meaning of the concept of "transcendental" in the epistemology of the most prominent representative of Russian ecclesiastic-academic philosophy of the second half of the 19th century, Christian philosopher V. D. Kudryavtsev-Platonov, as well as the relationship of this concept in the interpretation of the Russian religious philosopher to the philosophical tradition of transcendentalism established by I. Kant. The core of Kudryavtsev's entire epistemology is the concept of transcendental monism presented in his work "Metaphysical Analysis of Empirical Cognition". In the process of reconstruction of the mentioned concept it is shown that it has two planes: ontological and epistemological. Transcendental monism as an epistemological concept is the subject of conceptual and comparative analysis in the article, by means of which similarities and differences between Kudryavtsev's and Kant's epistemology are established. On the basis of this comparison it is concluded that Kudryavtsev, denying only the subjective character of cognitive forms, overcame Kant's transcendental idealism. Then the epistemological views of V. T. Krug and F. A. Trendelenburg are analysed as basic positions for Kudryavtsev's transcendental monism in order to identify its links with the tradition of Kantian transcendentalism. According to the results of the analysis, the ideas of Krug, Trendelenburg and Kudryavtsev are compared, which shows the points of convergence between the philosophers, namely, the transcendental for them appears in connection with the a priori, that is, with that which has an inexperienced origin, but lies at the basis of possible experience. It is established that Krug, Trendelenburg and Kudryavtsev endeavoured to overcome the gap between thinking and the external world in the process of cognition, which had arisen in Kantian transcendental idealism. Hence, it is concluded that the concept of "transcendental" in Kudryavtsev's theory of cognition is linked to the tradition of Kantian transcendentalism through the concept of apriorism. Finally, it is concluded that Kudryavtsev's epistemology is an example of Christian philosophy incorporating the concept of the transcendental in its connection with Kantian transcendentalism, and may become a model for new attempts to construct a Christian epistemology.
The Lost Letter of E. F. Junge to F. M. Dostoevsky
Authors: Mikhnovets Mariia , Andrianova Irina
Published: April 2024

The article aims to explore the correspondence between F. M. Dostoevsky and the famous artist and memoirist E. F. Junge, who was the wife of ophthalmologist Dr. E. A. Junge. Dostoevsky was Dr. Junge’s patient in the 1860s and 1870s. E. F. Junge met the writer in the last year of his life, and she was an admirer of his talent, as well as a correspondent. Two letters from E. F. Junge to the writer, sent in March and April of 1880, are known to exist. There are also two letters from Dostoevsky, one in draft form and the other a clean copy, dated April 10 and April 11 of the same year. The study places special emphasis on the autograph of Junge’s March letter to the writer. This letter was initially published by the bibliographer A. P. Novitsky in the preface to Junge’s memoirs, which were published in 1914. However, the autograph of the letter was subsequently lost. As a result, the letter written by Junge in March 1880 has been quoted from either the first publication or its republication, which was done in 1959 by A. S. Dolinin. In 2021, during the preparation of the description for “The Handwritten Legacy of F. M. Dostoevsky,” efforts were made to search for the document in the collections of the State Historical Museum, the Archive of the Russian Academy of Arts, and the Russian State Historical Archive. Unfortunately, this search yielded no results. The authors of the article eventually found a copy of the lost letter to Junge in A. G. Dostoevskaya’s notebook from 1881. Unlike Novitsky’s publication, this copy more accurately reflects the original letter. Therefore, the source for any future publications of the lost letter of Junge should be considered the copy found in A. G. Dostoevskaya’s notebook. The article also analyzes letters from the 1880s–1890s addressed to A. G. Dostoevskaya from E. F. Junge, as well as from A. I. Tolstaya (her mother) and A. P. Novitsky. For the first time, a donation inscription to Novitsky from the writer’s widow on the title page is published. The annex to the article includes three documents: a list of the March 1880 letter from E. F. Junge to Dostoevsky, taken from his widow’s notebook; a response letter from the writer, which reflects the edits he made and indicates errors in previous publications of the letter; and a letter from A. P. Novitsky to A. G. Dostoevskaya dated April 25, 1897.
DECENTRALIZATION REFORM IN UKRAINE AS A FACTOR AND INSTITUTIONAL COMPONENT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES
Authors:   Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, Vinnytsia, Zakharchenko V. I. , Zakharchenko S. V. ,   Individual entrepreneur
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the decentralization reform on the sustainable development of territorial communities (TGs) in Ukraine, in particular under martial law. The article uses research methods such as theoretical analysis and synthesis; strategic analysis, in particular SWOT analysis; individual expert assessments; spatial analysis; typology; and forecasting. As a result of the conducted research, it was shown that the decentralization reform in Ukraine did not fully solve the tasks set for it, especially regarding the territorial organization of power. Based on this, the article attempts to justify the necessary steps and measures to improve the effectiveness of the reform in the context of the sustainable development of TG. In particular, it is recommended: to coordinate the basic laws of reform with the Constitution of Ukraine; to form administrative-territorial units of different levels based on the theory of central places; develop strategies and plans for spatial development of communities at a high professional level; restore and strengthen the economic potential of the TG within the framework of the Recovery Programs and the State Strategy of Regional Development of Ukraine for 2021–2027; intensify the creation of such forms of spatial organization of the economy, which will contribute to the consolidation and innovation of TG; increase the financial capacity of TG—based on the development of the local economy; to carry out adequate social policy for the return of TG residents to places of permanent residence; guarantee a high standard of living for all citizens regardless of their place of residence; rational use of TG assimilation potential; develop a “green” economy in TG, with an emphasis on its core—a circular economy; dramatically improve the environment in most TGs, especially those most affected by hostilities; resume the activities of the Ministry of Community and Territory Development. Actually, the rationale for these recommendations is the novelty of the study.
НАУКОВІ ПІДХОДИ ДО АНАЛІЗУ ФЕНОМЕНУ ПОКОЛІННЯ

У статті представлено теоретичний аналіз наукових підходів до психологічної природи феномену покоління. Визначено, що утворення гіпотез формування покоління «швидкості пульсу» і «відбитку» та ідентифікація акторів за біологічними, соціальними, культурними, історичними ознаками є результатом особливостей трактування науковцями зв’язків біологічної хронології із соціально-історичним часом. Встановлено, що наукові різночитання природи феномену та особливостей перебігу взаємодії сучасників обґрунтовуються трактуваннями «покоління, що є результатом дії історії» або «історії як процесу, що формується діями поколінь».

MODELO APRENDIZAJE Y SERVICIO: UNA APLICACIÓN PRÁCTICA EN UN CURSO DE TEORÍA DE LA ORGANIZACIÓN
Authors: Morales Acevedo Loreto
Published: April 2024

El incremento acelerado del conocimiento, la tecnología y la globalización, demandan cambios importantes en la formación terciaria, exigiendo la incorporación de otro tipo de habilidades requeridas por este nuevo mundo, tales como adaptación al cambio, innovación, flexibilidad, entre otros aspectos (Allen y Van der Velden, 2011). El foco del proceso de formación, a diferencia del modelo tradicional, está en el estudiante, lo que genera una atención particular por el desarrollo de competencias, y metodologías innovadoras e inclusivas que fomenten el desarrollo de profesionales integrales, preparados para enfrentar los desafíos actuales de su campo. La educación superior en Chile no está ajena a estos nuevos desafíos que impactan en la calidad y capacidad de cambio respecto a los procesos de formación de sus profesionales, junto a la expectativa de que las instituciones se posicionen como motor de desarrollo local (Zabalza, 2002). En ese sentido, Aprendizaje y Servicio (A+S) es una metodología que busca generar en el estudiante un aprendizaje experiencial, vinculándolo con la comunidad, generando de esta forma un círculo virtuoso, que permite a los estudiantes a desarrollar técnicas y habilidades que son esenciales en la formación profesional disciplinaria, y a desarrollar sus habilidades personales y su consecuente responsabilidad social territorial. También, permite conciliar las capacidades técnicas en las organizaciones de socios comunitarios, el fomento de las condiciones favorables para sus organizaciones, negocios o emprendimientos. Esta metodología ha sido definida por variados autores (Amat & Miravet, 2010; Puig el al, 2007; Vickers, 2004; Furco, 2002; Eyler et al, 2001; Bringle & Hatcher, 1995), que en esencia consideran como sus elementos definitorios el que se trata de una metodología pedagógica experiencial, al servicio a la comunidad, que promueve la reflexión como elemento clave para profundizar el conocimiento y que involucran el apoyo genuino a necesidades reales. El propósito de este trabajo es presentar una aplicación de esta metodología en el curso de Teoría de la Organización 1 de la carrera de Contador Auditor de la Escuela de Comercio de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, a un socio comunitario de Valparaíso, la cual se basó en un modelo sistémico que tiene como objetivo evaluar desde la perspectiva de los tres actores principales involucrados, es decir, profesores, socios comunitarios, y estudiantes, las actividades asociadas aprendizaje y servicio.
Personality organisation and flexibility in coping with stress in the group of alcohol-dependent individuals
Authors: Grzankowska Izabela Anna , Fabjanowicz Aleksandra
Published: April 2024

Introduction and objective: Psychoactive substance abusers are characterised by significantly stronger pathology of personality structure compared to non-addicted population. Therefore, identifying psychological resources that may provide a chance for more adequate functioning and effective treatment of these patients seems justified. One such resource is flexibility in coping, which helps reduce emotional tension and reinforces adaptive forms of functioning. The aim of the presented research was to verify whether there is a relationship between the dimensions of personality organisation and flexibility in coping among alcohol-dependent individuals, taking into account the age and gender of respondents. Materials and methods: The study involved 93 alcohol-dependent people, including 27 women (29%) and 66 men (71%) aged 20 to 77 years (mean, M = 43.72; standard deviation, SD = 12.83). The research used the Inventory of Personality Organization (IPO) by Otto F. Kernberg and colleagues (2001) in the Polish adaptation by Agnieszka Izdebska and Beata Pastwa-Wojciechowska (2013) and the Flexibility in Coping with Stress Questionnaire (Kwestionariusz Elastyczności w Radzeniu sobie ze Stresem, KERS-14) by Małgorzata Anna Basińska and colleagues (2021). Results: The research showed that more flexible coping strategies occur among those alcohol-dependent adults who use higher-order defence mechanisms and are characterised by greater identity coherence. The age was found to be a variable associated with a better personality organisation and greater flexibility in coping. Conclusions: Flexibility in coping is partially related to the dimensions of personality organisation in alcohol-dependent adults.

Introduction and objective: During the inpatient treatment of children with anorexia nervosa, their parents are emotionally burdened and, at the same time, responsible for making key medical decisions; thus, the quality of cooperation with medical personnel is crucial for the treatment outcome. This study aimed to investigate how parents understand the child’s experiences in this particular context and how medical staff may support them in this process. Materials and methods: The medical records documenting the hospitalisation of two adolescent patients for anorexia nervosa were reviewed. The families were selected from a larger project studying cooperation with medical staff: one perceived as cooperating in a beneficial way and the other struggling with collaboration. In order to obtain an in-depth understanding of the studied phenomenon, qualitative methods were used, including the comparative case study approach and consensual qualitative research methodology. Results: Comparing the two clinical cases, it was found that the cooperating family and the one struggling with collaboration differed in their understanding of the child (22 vs. 4 in effective attempts and 6 vs. 14 in failure examples). The second parental couple’s comprehension regarded mostly symptoms. Conclusions: The personnel’s multidisciplinary interventions helped the legal guardians to build their understanding. Better parental understanding of the child’s inner world had a beneficial effect on the treatment process.

The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on energy prices contributed significantly to European price increases in 2022. The study aims to find a linkage between the performance of 24 EU countries during the energy inflation crisis and their preparedness, vulnerability or exposure. The verified hypotheses reflect on the role of initial conditions of countries and the one-year impact of energy inflation on their economic performance. The two-step analysis first creates six clusters of countries based on their energy, trade, financial and political vulnerability, and preparedness indicators. The second step is to explore the shifts of clusters in expectations on macroeconomic indicators. Specific patterns of country groups are explored in the value and evolution of wartime indicators of inflation, GDP growth, consumer and business confidence, as well as FX volatility. The exploration concludes that the entry variables of clustering are relevant, and the EU countries can be segmented by dependency, energy, financial, and political aspects. Thus, it is possible to verify the distance in risk and exposure among EU economies. The impact variables demonstrated that the extent of the inflationary effect depended on the initial conditions. In addition, the research identified protective short-term factors against energy inflation originating in a trade and war context.

Black campaigns that occurred in 2014 and 2019 also have the potential to emerge in the 2024 general elections in Indonesia. Not only does black campaigning have the potential to create public distrust of a fair electoral process, but it also has the potential to polarize society. This phenomenon has not been scientifically considered in previous studies. This study focuses on the question, "What is the potential for black campaigns that occurred in 2014 and 2019 to emerge in the 2024 general election in Indonesia?" This qualitative study investigates the forms and patterns of black campaign narratives disseminated through online media coverage. The findings of this study show that the black campaign that occurred in 2014 has the same pattern and narrative in 2019. Issues such as the involvement of the Indonesian Communist Party, Race, Human Rights, Radicalism, and Religion became issues that did not appear in the black campaign in the 2014 and 2019 general elections. The patterns and narratives of black campaigns that occurred in 2014 and 2019 can be used as references and preferences in looking at black campaign issues that have the potential to appear in the 2024 general elections. This study also recommends the importance of analyzing the factors that influence the emergence of black campaigns with the same patterns and narratives in 2014 and 2019 that have the potential to appear in the 2024 general elections in Indonesia.

Published: April 2024

The challenges of globalization in the SME sector are getting tougher. SMEs are required to innovate in order to be able to face the challenges of globalization. The purpose of this study is to identify the internal resources of Coffee SME to create innovation capabilities and to determine the effect of knowledge sharing on the innovation capabilities of Coffee SMEs in Garut Regency. This study uses the Mix Method. Qualitative method with Resource-Base View (RBV) approach based on knowledge sharing perspective. The quantitative method is implemented through distributing questionnaires. Data collected using a questionnaire were analyzed using a structural equation model - partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The unit of analysis is seven Coffee SMEs in Garut Regency which has the same character resemblance. The results of the qualitative research show that IKM Coffee in Garut Regency is at the level of competitive advantage. Competitive advantage in question can be seen in several aspects. First, Coffee SME is able to create innovation capabilities in coffee processing from post-harvest to ready-to-drink coffee, limited to various flavors and aromas, that are tacit knowledge. Second, Coffee SME is able to innovate on brands, solar dryer domes, video content as a marketing tool, and coffee processing SOPs that are explicit knowledge. However, Garut coffee SMEs have not been able to achieve a level of sustainable competitive advantage where tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge can be well organized. While the results of quantitative research show that knowledge sharing has a positive effect on innovation capability.

In 1960 a curious book appeared, called English Cooking: A New Approach. The book was a brave and forlorn effort to rehabilitate traditional British cuisine. The timing was not ideal. By then, the days of rationing were forgotten and the influence of Elizabeth David, among other blights, had relegated British food to untouchable status. This articles puts English Cooking into historical context and discusses the attempts of other writers to preserve English foodways, noting Rupert Croft-Cooke's own opinions of their efforts while also providing a biographical account of Croft-Crooke's extraordinary life.

Background. According to the World Health Organization, corneal diseases are one of the major causes of blindness globally. Endothelial dystrophy is one of the etiological factors leading to corneal diseases. The corneal endothelium is a monolayer of cells with virtually no mitotic activity. When the density of corneal endothelial cells falls below a critical threshold, the endothelium loses its ability to regulate corneal stromal hydration. This leads to corneal clouding and, consequently, to reduced visual acuity and quality of life of the patient. In this regard, various keratoplasty methods are widely used in clinical practice. Today, it is technically possible to transplant all corneal layers via penetrating keratoplasty, and to transplant the posterior epithelium via layer-bylayer keratoplasty. These surgical approaches are now widely used in everyday practice, but they require the use of scarce material – cadaveric donor corneas, from which grafts for the above-mentioned operations are formed in the conditions of an eye bank. In this regard, protocols for obtaining human corneal endothelial cell (HCEC) culture for subsequent transplantation have been proposed in recent years. However, the use of such approaches in Russia is limited by the law. The aim of this study was to experimentally justify the possibility of transplanting uncultured endothelial cells, isolated from cadaveric human corneas. Materials and methods. The first stage of the work consisted of obtaining a suspension of endothelial cells from cadaveric donor corneas and studying it; at the second stage, the transplantation effectiveness of the resulting cell suspension was assessed in an ex vivo experiment. Results. The cell phenotype after transplantation by the proposed method had high viability and preservation. Conclusions. The presented results suggest that phenotype and adhesion ability are preserved, and that the cell suspension has a high level of viability under adequate loss of endothelial cells during transplantation in the ex vivo experiment.

The global development of transplantology faces several objective obstacles. One of the major ones is widespread organ shortage. This is most pronounced in clinical lung transplantation (LT). The development of this area is directly connected with more intensive development of available donor resources and search for new sources of donor organs that are suitable for transplantation. Along with the existing methods of increasing the number of lungs suitable for transplantation, LT with donation after cardiac death (DCD) is attracting increasing attention. The effectiveness of this approach has been confirmed by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation and deserves more attention from Russian specialists.
