Impact of Employee Engagement on Performance at A Pump Supplier
Authors: Bale Stephen , Pillay Alan
Published: June 2021

The study aimed to investigate the impact of employee engagement on performance at a South African pump supplier. The research adopted a qualitative study and a non-probability purposeful sampling technique with a target population of ten employees at the company. It examined the factors that contributed to the development of employees’ engagement and the effect of engagement on employee performance. The research instrument used interview and was analyzed qualitatively. Key findings revealed that the employees at the company are disengaged due to ineffective leadership, poor communication between management and employees, lack of a recognition system, inadequate employee participation in decision-making, and an absence of a strategic and coordinated approach to the employees’ well-being. Recommendations were that the organization should allow its workforce to provide input in the decision-making of the organization, improve effective and transparent internal communication, employee development and empowerment, and an effective recognition system. Leaders should support the effective utilization of employee skills and capabilities. The study showed that there is a relationship between employee engagement and performance due to the lack of employee engagement that lowered employee capability and affected the organization's bottom line. Designing and implementing an effective employee engagement strategy is, therefore, desirable to the employee and organizational performance.

Published: June 2021

Cashew leaves (Anacardium occidentale Linn) is a plant that can be used as a natural antibiotic because it contains flavonoids, tannins, anacardiol acid, elagic acid, phenol compounds, cardol, and methyl cardol. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of giving several levels of consumption of cashew leaf extract in drinking water on the performance of broilers including ration consumption, drinking water consumption, body weight gain, and ration conversion. This study used 80 doc broilers which were divided randomly based on a completely randomized design  with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments given were P0 (0% cashew leaf extract as a control), P1 (5% cashew leaf extract in 1 L of water), P2 (10% cashew leaf extract in 1 L of water), P3 (15% cashew leaf extract in 1 L of water) and P4 (20% cashew leaf extract in 1 L of water). The variables observed were ration consumption, drinking water consumption, body weight gain and broiler ratio conversion. The results showed that inclusion of cashew leaf extract up to 20% in drinking water had a significant effect (p<0.05) on drinking water consumption, but no significant effect on ration consumption, body weight gain, and ration conversion.  It was concluded that giving cashew leaf extract in drinking water up to 20% had no effect on the broiler performance, in terms of ration consumption, body weight gain and ration conversion. Key words:        broiler chicken, cashew leaf extract, ration consumption, drinking water consumption, body weight gain, ratio conversion

Published: June 2021

This study aims to evaluate yield and yield components in several peanut lines planted in West Java, Indonesia. The genetic materials tested involved 21 genotypes consisting of 18 potential peanut lines (G100, G133, G142, G144, G199, G205, G209, G21, G234, G237, G33, G37, G41, G53, G54, G76, G84, G99) from a selection of 5 biparental population (GWS79A1/”Zebra”, “Jerapah”/GWS79A1, “Zebra”/GWS79A1, GWS79A1/”Jerapah”, “Zebra”/GWS18A1) and 3 comparative varieties (“Gajah”, “Sima”, and “Zebra”) as controls. Results showed that various genotypes have significant effects on plant height (at 9 and 10 WAP), number of branches (at 4, 10, and 12 WAP), flowering age, and harvest age. Some potential lines showed ideal characters expected of a high quality peanut plant. Based on characters such as harvest age, dry pod weight, and productivity, G100, G41, G21, G205, and G84 can be considered the best potential lines. These lines demonstrated high heritability values including characters classified as high category such as plant height, number of branches, age of flowering, age of harvest, harvest index, wet stover weight, fresh pod weight, number of filled pods, number of empty pods, number of filled pods, and weight of 100 seeds. Additionally, these lines also show high productivity, a character classified in the medium category.

The present work aimed to study the composition and antimicrobial properties of the essential oil of Helichrysum ibityense leaves (HIEO). HIEO was extracted by hydrodistillation from fresh leaves with a yield of 1.9%. It had a relative density of 0.9247 at 20℃, a refractive index of 1.4706, an optical rotation of -0°33, an acid index of 2.10 and an ester index of 54. Gas chromatography analysis/flame ionisation detection of HIEO had identified 17 components, representing more than 99.54% of the overall composition of the HIEO including 1.8-cineole (69.46%) the major component, α-terpinene (4.62%), β-caryophyllene (4.39%), α-pinene (4.13%), β-pinene (2.96%), p-cymene (2.39%) and γ-terpinene (2.16%). The HIEO antimicrobial activity was tested against nine pathogenic bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Candida albicans using the Disc diffusion and the Microdilution assays. HIEO exhibited broad activity spectrum and high microbial activity with inhibition zones (IZ) ranging from 12 to 35 mm. On Bacillus cereus, the most sensitive bacterium, its Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were 9.37 mg/ml and 13.22 mg/ml respectively. With an MBC/MIC ratio of 1.41, HIEO exerted a bactericidal action on Bacillus cereus. When administered orally to mice at 1000 mg/kg body weight, HIEO caused symptoms of intoxication which disappeared after 24 h. These preliminary results revealed HIEO could be used to treat different infectious diseases if its safety will be confirmed.

Introduction: Intramedullary nailing is a good indication for stabilizing displaced fractures of the proximal end and shaft of the humerus in adults. Methods: This was a prospective series of 24 patient, over a period of 9 months. The aim of this study is to report the epidemiological and clinical aspects of patients treated with a locked humeral nail and to show the medium-term interest, of this therapeutic method, thus discussing the complications. Results: All patients had received intramedullary nailing of the humerus. The average age was 77.08 years. The female sex was more represented with 66.66% and the right side was frequently fractured with 83.33%. We distinguished 50% of cases involving the proximal end of the humerus, 45.87% of cases of the humeral shaft and one case of concomitant fracture of the proximal end and that of the humeral shaft. The postoperative infection rate is zero in our series and we reported 1 case of distal locking screw breakage, 1 case of iterative fracture on short Telegraph nail, 1 case of proximal screw retraction on long Telegraph nail and 1 case of perforation of the humeral head with a proximal locking screw. Conclusion: humeral intramedullary nailing is a good alternative in fixing proximal end and humeral shaft fractures without considerable complications or damages for the rotator cuff muscles.

This study examines how firm size and profitability can influence ERC through timeliness. This research is exploratory. The test model used is the path analysis model. The population used by this study are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2014-2018 period. The method used in sampling is purposive sampling method. The number of companies that met the assessment criteria was 58 companies, so that the number of observations during 2014 - 2018 was 290 observations. Data collection techniques using documentation data. The data analysis technique in this study used descriptive statistics and classical assumption tests and path analysis. Based on the results, it can be concluded that company size and profitability do not have a positive effect on timeliness, company size and profitability that are interacted with the EU has no effect on ERC, while the timeliness of submitting financial reports that are interacted with the EU has an effect on ERC. Firm size and profitability have no effect on ERC with timeliness as an intervening variable.
Determinants of Corporate Value and Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Setyo Liyundira Fetri , Wiyono M. Wimbo
Published: June 2021

This study was designed using the profitability variable as the independent variable, and firm value as the dependent variable, while corporate social responsibility as the moderating variable. Basically, the value of the company is one aspect that is quite important in the world of investment. Because company value can be interpreted as the price a prospective buyer is willing to pay if the company is sold (Husnan, 2000: 7). The significant effect of profitability on firm value is in line with the signal theory (signaly theory). Profitability is a signal in the form of information stating that the company is better than other companies. Profitability is also able to reduce information asymmetry, because profitability is reliable financial information and will reduce uncertainty about the company's future prospects. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has a positive effect on the relationship between profitability and firm value in manufacturing companies in the period 2013-2015. This shows that the existence of CSR is still able to strengthen the relationship between the effect of profitability on firm value
ATTACKS OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN NOMADS ON RUSSIAN TRADING CARAVANS IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY
Authors:   Orenburg State Pedagogical University, Abdrakhmanov Konstantin A.
Published: June 2021

Based on archival materials (reports of the Orenburg border and customs departments, orders of the military governors of the Orenburg region, letters from the injured merchants, etc.), the article considers cases of attacks of the Central Asian nomads on the merchant caravans in the early 19th century. The main means of trade and transport communication between the Russian Empire, Bukhara, Khiva and Kokand were caravans, their size sometimes reached several thousand loaded camels. At that time, the steppes that separated the Russian border from the main trading cities of Central Asia were insufficiently explored, difficult to traverse, and very unsafe. Armed nomadic groups moving along the imperial border and deep in the Kazakh steppe were a direct threat to slow-moving and poorly guarded caravans. Steppe raiders were attracted by a diverse range of valuable goods and a large number of working animals, so valued by nomadic cultures. Merchants, their clerks, and hired workers were often killed in clashes with raiders. Those Russian merchants who were robbed of their money and property sought support from the leadership of the Orenburg province and even sent messages to the central Russian government.
THE CULTURAL HERITAGE AND THE MEMORY OF THE GREAT WAR IN GREAT BRITAIN. CONTEMPORARY ANGLO-SAXON HISTORIOGRAPHY
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Baranov Nikolay N. , Porshneva Olga S. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: June 2021

The First World War is called “Great” only among the British. This circumstance underlines its enduring importance for British spiritual, political and everyday culture. The conceptualization of historical events as an act of forming cultural memory, a form of presenting a significant past and its cultural heritage is considered in this article on the basis of the methodology of memory studies and heritage studies, its new direction — critical heritage studies. Within the framework of the latter, cultural heritage is interpreted as a process of permanent rethinking and redefinition of the cultural values of the past, which includes various social actors. The influential participants in this process are researchers: culturologists, historians, literary scholars, sociologists, who not only influence collective ideas about the events of the past, but also interpret their contemporary significance. Accordingly, from a huge number of works devoted to the Great War memorialization the authors of the article focus on those that consider the interaction of various forms of memory and their influence on the evolution of the collective memory of the British; they are created in the mainstream of the historical science of culture and distinguished by a pronounced historical and anthropological approach. The article identifies several conceptual approaches in the development of the problems of the cultural heritage and the memory of the war, analyzes the achievements in a comparative study of the image of war and its evolution in the cultural memory of the British, in studying the interaction of the official and popular, collective and individual forms of war memory, general and specific features of the British and foreign traditions of memory about the First World War. It also interprets the significance of the revisionist historiography in changing the notions of the Great War heritage.
INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE: DIVERSITY OF TYPES, WAYS AND METHODS OF ADAPTIVE REUSE
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Alekseeva Elena V.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of revalorization (actualization of value) of the industrial heritage. Based on the analysis of the latest foreign and Russian publications, the author shows a wide range of options for repurposing industrial heritage objects, implemented in different countries for more than half a century. The attention is focused at some of the features of national approaches to the preservation and new use of old industrial buildings and territories. The author emphasizes the implemented and proposed projects for the adaptive reuse of factory buildings and sites in the Sverdlovsk region. Systematization of the studied material resulted in a classification of potential new functions for abandoned industrial facilities. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that typologization contributes both to a holistic understanding of the implemented solutions, specific achievements and miscalculations in the process of transforming territories, buildings, structures that lost their production function into modern objects which combine the memory of the previous stage of history and new useful functionality. The paper draws attention to the effectiveness of combining the efforts of professionals and civic initiative, cultural and government institutions, local, regional and state structures for the preservation of the national heritage of the industrial era. It emphasizes the integration of this underestimated resource into modern planning solutions for large and small cities, the creative social function of collective interaction in the process of revalorization industrial heritage.
RECOVERED FACTORIES: INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE REUSE IN ITALY
Authors:   University of Padua, Preite Massimo
Published: June 2021

In the wake of deindustrialisation, Italy too has been affected by the significant phenomenon of the closure of industrial plants and facilities, which in some ways has marked the end of an era. Physical evidence of past industrial activity was at first considered to be an obstacle to the development of areas and therefore to be removed. It was only at the end of the 80s of the last century that a more widespread interest in the protection of old factories was aroused. Three themes will be examined in the course of this article. First of all, an attempt will be made to identify the time frame of reference of the Italian industrial heritage, so as not to exclude past experiences of productive organization that anticipated the modern factory system. The second theme is the different methodologies of recovery and conversion of old work spaces into spaces for new activities. The characteristics of the industrial heritage require different methods of intervention, among which exemplary restoration is only one of the possible solutions. More often it is the task of the project to find the right balance between conservation and transformation in the rehabilitation of industrial buildings. The third theme concerns the role of industrial heritage in urban regeneration programmes. In order to be fully appreciated, this role requires a higher level of vision, a focus not on individual interventions but on the benefits that an entire district or city can gain from an integrated rehabilitation of its industrial heritage.
MEMORY AND HERITAGE IN A CRUSADE AGAINST HISTORY, OR THE BIRTH OF A “MEMORIAL PARADIGM”
Authors:   Institute of World History of the RAS, Repina Lorina P.
Published: June 2021

The turn of the 20th–21st centuries was marked by the emergence in modern historiography of the “memorial paradigm”, which explores the images of the past as interpretive models that allow individuals and social groups to orient themselves in their present life situations. As a result, the focus of attention of the professional community representatives turned out to be on issues related to the relationship between history, memory and identity, with the use of cultural heritage, with the tools of “historical policy” and the transformation of historical consciousness and historical culture of post-industrial society. In the Russian social and humanitarian space, interdisciplinary memorial and historical research focused on describing and analyzing socially and culturally differentiated symbolic “images of the past”, mechanisms for the formation of individual and collective identities or effective tools of historical politics, have gained great popularity in the recent decade. The article presents and analyzes various positions of leading theorists regarding the situation that has developed as a result of the “memorial boom” in the space of the current humanities. Stating the advantages and achievements of “memory studies”, the author notes a number of missed opportunities, in particular the need for an expanded socio-historical contextualization of specific studies and a clearer definition of one’s own cognitive attitudes in relations with public history and commemorative practices. The conceptual problems of “memory studies” that have arisen in connection with the inclusion in their subject fields of the practice of intercultural communication in their historical dimension are considered. The article shows that the significant heuristic potential of the “memory paradigm” can be realized using theoretical models of histoire croisée and connected history.
“THE CASE ON PROTECTION OF ANCIENT MONUMENTS IN THE PERM PROVINCE”, 1902: EXPERIENCE IN RECORDING AND STUDYING CULTURAL HERITAGE IN RUSSIA
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Dashkevich Ludmila A. , Nechaeva Marina Yu. ,   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of data compiled in 1902 by the construction department of the Perm Provincial Committee on “all ancient buildings and ancient monuments existing in the Perm province, as well as on modern monuments erected in honor of the Imperial and other persons or in memory of various events”. The background of the compilation of this list is characterized in the context of the development of a law on the protection of monuments and public discussion of the criteria for identifying objects to be protected. The authors describe the province’s monuments associated with the Romanovs, for the first time included in the range of objects of protection (largely lost in the subsequent time). A comparison is made of the information on the region’s religious objects indicated in this source with the 1902 description of parish churches of Ekaterinburg diocese. The information limits of the 1902 provincial list are identified. They were caused by the method of obtaining information for the list: reliance on documents preserved in the office of the provincial government, lack of cooperation with diocesan structures during the preparation of the list, subjectivity of assessments of the cultural value of the objects and an insufficient level of studying ancient monuments in the local history literature of that time. At the same time, the importance of this event is emphasized as the first attempt in the region to systematize information about the objects to be protected as monuments of history and culture. The compilation of an inventory of protected monuments had been for the authorities a certain step in the politics of memory, since a significant part of the heritage indicated in the list was associated with the idea of a monarchy, and the Urals were presented as a part of the Orthodox empire mastered by the Russian people.
“I WRITE MYSELF AS MANSI”: ETHNICITY AND INDIGENEITY IN THE KONDA RIVER REGION
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Abramov Ilya V.
Published: June 2021

The article explores the identity of indigenous peoples in a multinational urbanized society, where mixed marriages prevail, the languages of national minorities are lost, and the way of life is not associated with traditional nature management. What does it mean to be indigenous in these conditions? Is ethnicity still linked to blood and land? The institute of ancestral lands of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Ugra is considered as a variant of (re)rooting of titular peoples who were earlier deprived of their rights to land and resources by the Soviet government. The author traces how the introduction of support programs for indigenous minorities provoked an instrumental approach to identity in the 1990s. The correction of genealogy was widespread and led to an unnatural jump in the number of indigenous peoples. The status of the subject of the law of the territories of traditional nature use (the user of ancestral lands) turned out to be equally problematic in the Konda river region. Against the background of ambiguous federal and regional projects to support indigenous peoples, the article examines the concept of indigeneity, which seems adequate for the territories of strong mixing of cultures, to which the Konda river region belongs. The right to determine membership in indigenous communities belongs to the members of these communities, as well as the choice of criteria by which this selection will be carried out. Global experience shows that heredity and consanguinity are not exceptional qualities for inclusion in the “indigenous slot”, but their core is formed by ethnic communities, as the most consolidated groups.
El reto metodológico de enseñar ELE en contextos universitarios sinohablantes: la gamificación como técnica de innovación pedagógica
Authors: Manzanares Triquet Juan Carlos
Published: June 2021

La República Popular China, el gigante asiático, es un país con una marcada identidad tradicional que, aunque en paulatino cambio, aún presenta un estrecho arraigo con los valores del pasado, la enseñanza magistral y una moral que condiciona, por lo tanto, su manera de concebir el aprendizaje. Esta circunstancia afecta tanto a los roles de los agentes participantes como a la metodología imperante en las aulas, lo que nos traslada a un contexto que puede resultar contradictorio para el profesorado extranjero. En un prisma contrario, en Occidente, se halla la gamificación, revulsivo pedagógico que presume elevar los niveles motivacionales del alumnado haciendo gala de una experiencia inmersiva que favorece y promueve el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.
A lo largo de este artículo expondremos, a modo de contexto, la situación actual de la enseñanza de español en la China continental; abordaremos cómo se plantea su enseñanza en los estudios del Grado en Filología Hispánica; describiremos la metodología que pervive en las aulas y, por último, presentaremos la gamificación como alternativa pedagógica en pos de contrastar su posible implementación a la luz de una relación de casos de éxito.
_Afoot_: en marcha. Caminar, investigar, crear en una práctica transdisciplinaria
Authors: Del Junco González Juan J. , Machuca Casares Blanca
Published: June 2021

En el presente texto damos un enfoque diferente a la acción performativa de caminar, a través de la transdisciplinariedad que presenta la obra de un artista como es el caso de Juan del Junco, en la que se mezcla una metodología propia de las ciencias naturales, concretamente la ornitología, con el propio método como artista: caminar, investigar y crear. El objetivo es demostrar cómo esta metodología puede llegar a convertirse en cartografías emocionales que se transformarán según los formatos que sean necesarios para exposiciones, libros, instalaciones, etc. Tras el análisis de algunas obras del artista, llegamos a la conclusión de que dichas cartografías pueden llevar hasta sus orígenes, las cosmografías, a través de las tradiciones familiares, como puede ser la figura paterna, y recordarnos la aparición del mapa cantado, vivido, anterior a la escritura, en definitiva, los trazos de la canción.
Cuerpo y literatura. Prácticas anacrónicas en «Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine» de Mette Edvardsen
Authors: Pérez Royo Victoria
Published: June 2021

En este texto se proponen una serie de reflexiones acerca del proyecto «Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine» (en desarrollo desde 2010) de la artista noruega de artes vivas Mette Edvardsen. El proyecto se articula en torno al aprendizaje de memoria de libros y, en estos años, se ha desplegado en una biblioteca de más de ochenta libros vivos en 12 lenguas, en una casa editorial, en exposición y en varios otros formatos. El análisis se organiza en torno a dos ejes principales: por un lado, en los estragos, transformaciones y desplazamientos que un trabajo basado en el cuerpo produce en las nociones habituales con las que concebimos la literatura, así como en las prácticas de archivo y conservación de textos; por otro lado, en la recuperación de prácticas que se pueden considerar anacrónicas (aprendizaje de memoria de un texto y reescritura literal, entre otras) y que ofrecen valores alternativos a la originalidad, la creatividad y la innovación, a las lógicas de rentabilidad y eficacia y a las economías temporales contemporáneas.

Authors: Melgares Calzado Miguel Ángel
Published: June 2021

En un contexto internacional de efervescencia en las artes vivas, en el año 2015 iniciamos BastardScene, un Seminario Permanente sobre Performance Expandido, Edición y Lenguaje. Generado desde el grupo de investigación interuniversitario SOBRE_Lab en colaboración con el Centro José Guerrero1, se estableció un observatorio cultural en la ciudad de Granada desde donde poder analizar diferentes modelos de producción cultural que se desarrollan en el performance contemporáneo: una compleja diversidad de prácticas artísticas en vivo, articuladas como puentes que conectan, contaminan y llegan a disolver las fronteras disciplinarias entre los campos de las artes escénicas y las artes visuales. En este marco se desarrolló una serie de experiencias, talleres y laboratorios creativos con estudiantes universitarios, egresados y artistas de la ciudad con los que explorar el difuso territorio del performance, otorgando una especial atención al estudio de artistas y proyectos cuya práctica estuviera estrechamente relacionada con la investigación editorial. Con el objetivo de dar una continuidad temporal al seminario, se decidió estructurar los encuentros, talleres, conferencias o presentaciones públicas en formato acto, generando una narrativa transversal de contenidos en la suma de los actos. Tras seis ediciones entre 2015 y 2019, las experiencias y resultados del seminario han sido recopiladas en la publicación Performance. Actuación extraña en la que aplaudes sin entender. Los textos que se reúnen en este estudio son extractos de dicha publicación.
El derecho a morir dignamente: una oportunidad para el impulso ético del Trabajo Social
Authors: Carbonell Ángela , Navarro-Pérez José-Javier , Botija-Yagüe Mercedes
Published: June 2021

La creciente importancia de las enfermedades crónicas como causa de muerte y la atención que actualmente se presta al final de la vida han creado interés en el papel de las disciplinas sociosanitarias en el momento y el modo de muerte. En la actualidad, pocos países han legalizado o despenalizado la eutanasia y el suicidio asistido. Este artículo realiza una revisión narrativa con el objetivo de conocer los aspectos éticos y jurídicos que envuelven el derecho a morir dignamente, el suicidio asistido y la eutanasia en los países donde se han regulado estas prácticas, así como su vinculación con los principios éticos inherentes al Trabajo Social. Los resultados muestran que estas prácticas deben considerarse como derecho individual regido por el principio de autodeterminación de cada persona. El Trabajo Social, como disciplina que vela por los derechos humanos, debe garantizar la voluntad y las prioridades de las personas enfermas, ofreciendo orientación y apoyo y respetando su principio de autonomía.

Methods for describing of digital signal complex envelope distortions due to influence of satellite ionosphere radiolines based on linear filtering methods are presented. Distortions of the phase-frequency characteristics of the digital signal envelopes due to the dispersion properties of the ionosphere cause time scattering and the occurrence of intersymbol interference, which reduce the reliability of communication. This determines the relevance of the development of the computational procedure for processing digital signals that reduce the effectiveness of this type of interferences. The descriptions of the algorithms for compensation of these distortions based on the use of the broadband pilot-signals and the formation of an inverse linear filter are given. A useful property of the considered pilot-signals is the coincidence of their structure (frequency band, envelope type, manipulation law) with the structure of information digital signals. By means of computer simulations of this algorithms, the possibility of almost complete compensation of the considered distortions of wideband signals is shown.

Authors:   Faculty of Education, Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey., Kafadar Tuğba
Published: June 2021

The present study aimed to compare social studies or equivalent course textbooks in Turkey, the United States, and France (ethics-citizenship education) based on values education content. The study was designed with the holistic multi-case method, a qualitative research approach, and the study data were collected with document analysis. The study group was assigned with criterion sampling, a purposive sampling method. The study data were analyzed with the content analysis technique. The study findings were as follows: Value dimensions in the textbooks employed in the three countries were similar in the self-transcendence value dimension in Turkey and France, while self-enhancement value dimension was identified in the US (New York) textbooks. Analysis of the value types identified in the textbooks of the three countries demonstrated that the achievement category was prominent in Turkish and American (New York) textbooks, while universalism-concern value type was observed in France. Modesty value type was observed the least in the USA (New York) and France textbooks. However, the least frequent category was prestige in Turkish textbooks. The instruction approaches that were frequently observed in the textbook learning-instruction processes in the three countries were similar and the value explanation approach was adopted in Turkish and American (New York) social studies and French ethics-citizenship textbooks. The least frequent value instruction approaches in the textbooks were value instruction by observation in Turkish and French textbooks and moral reasoning method in the American (New York) social studies textbooks. Furthermore, American (New York) textbooks did not employ the value instruction by observation approach.
Built Environment and Landscape Design as Tools for Climate Resilient Cities and Regions
Authors: Nikologianni Anastasia , Larkham Peter J. , Moore Kathryn
Published: June 2021

This paper explores project frameworks and design methods in order to reveal innovative ways and processes for creating more resilient cities and regions. Considering major environmental, economic and social challenges and extracting key quality elements from pioneer development schemes, the aim is to identify methods and policies that have a significant impact on the transformation, landscape quality and sustainability of places at city and regional scale. Starting with the model of design quality in project delivery, and looking at a transformation model, the paper discusses best practices for the development of concept and implementation before it considers the model of pan-European collaboration. An investigation of climate adaptation issues through the ‘Room for the River’, a national programme in the Netherlands, demonstrates the significance of landscape design, low carbon and spatial quality as vital aspects of the built environment. The West Midlands National Park (WMNP UK), a major infrastructure proposal, demonstrates how a broader vision can help drive environmental, social and economic transformation in a region, whilst SATURN, an EIT Climate-KIC project, reveals the first stages of a pan-European city collaboration with the aim of reintegrating the natural assets within the climate change impact strategies of the participating cities, and exchanging knowledge between European regions. This paper suggests that landscape design and the built environment are important drivers towards a successful low carbon transition, and they can simultaneously enhance social and landscape identity and boost the economy of a region.

Authors: Aksümer Gizem
Published: June 2021

This paper aims to demonstrate that information activates the desire flows and makes the urban transformation machine work. It focuses on understanding how urban transformation currently works as a Deleuzian machine, rather than focusing on how it is implemented. The main focus is to map the trajectory of the word flows through the narratives. First of all technical knowledge flow through media texts and official public statements take their place in the urban transformation process. Technicians and scientists inform that we need to implement the urban transformation process. Then the media starts to glorify the urban transformation process representing how beautiful the new houses are. Finally in informal neighborhoods (which are entitled as gecekondu in Turkish urban system) the word flows transform into rumor flows. These rumor flows, which are ignored during the planning process, channel desire flows, making certain spaces more or less attractive and affect the whole transformation process.

Prolonged hostilities on the territory of Ukraine have a destructive effect on the psychological health of the country population, and participants of the joint force operation are particularly affected. In national science, impacts of hostilities on people are studied deeply: participation in the Joint Forces (JF) operation can lead to personality maladaptation, which affects mental health and hinders social adaptation. The consequences of hostilities for people, in particular links between self-concept disharmony and manifestations of socio-psychological adaptation / maladaptation experienced after JF operation participation, need special attention, as its help propose psychological corrective methods to overcoming personal maladaptation of JF operation participants. Many scientific works are devoted to an individual’s self-concept; in particular, its formation and structure were examined in the scientific works of E. Berne, C. Rogers, M. Savchina, O. Furman and others; component composition of self-concept in at early maturity were revealed in the works of G. Kraig; influence of difficult life circumstances on self-concept component composition, in particular, participation in the Joint Forces operation with acquired disabilities, was revealed by I. Chukhriy. An individual’s socio-psychological adaptation was discussed in the scientific works of V. Petrovsky, A. Furman, A. Nalchadjian, J. Piaget, S. Rozum and others. To study the features of JF operation participants’ self-concept and its relationship with the manifestations of socio-psychological adaptation, theempirical study was conducted, the results of which are presented in the article. According to the obtained empirical data, the examined JF operation participants had mainly normative socio-psychological adaptation; but, a third of the participants manifested maladaptive features, such as low tolerance to stress, low adaptability skills, poor socialization, high internal aggression (irritation, suspicion), destructive behaviour (dependence, poor sociability, avoidance of challenges). The disharmonious type of self-concept was shown by one third of the studied participants. This type is associated with manifestations of socio-psychological maladaptation, including personal and situational anxiety, indirect aggression, depression, proneness to conflict. Although the respondents showed the most often good socio-psychological adaptation, those participants who had maladaptation and disharmony of the self-concept need additional attention and psychological assistance.

The article is important because the problem of emotional burnout is particularly actual one for health professionals in Ukraine and around the world at the moment. The medical staffs of medical departments are exposed to excessive stress on a daily basis in the course of their professional activities due to constant and direct contact with patients who need urgent care or are in a critical psychological state. These circumstances in most cases cause negative emotions, excessive mental stress and physical fatigue. The article purpose was to study of the syndrome of “emotional burnout” and the peculiarities of its manifestation in health professionals depending on gender. The conducted empirical study was devoted to the psychological manifestations of medical workers’ emotional burnout among (depending on genders); it was organised in 2020. The special socio-psychological study included 60 medical workers (30 women-nurses and 30 male doctors) with 5 or more years of experience working in medical institutions in Kyiv. The following psychological techniques were used in the empirical study: V.V. Boyko’s method determining the level of "emotional burnout"; J. Greenberg’s method studying burnout; Maslach Burnout Inventory for “person – person” professions; S.A. Budassi’s method for self-assessment; Cattell 16PF Questionnaire. The study results allowed us to draw the following conclusions. Analyzing the link between gender and emotional burnout, we should say that women in a stressful situation are more prone to psychosomatic and psychovegetative disorders, and men are prone to personal alienation (depersonalization). In addition, women’s syndrome is manifested not only through “resistance” symptoms - inadequate selective emotional response and reduction of professional responsibilities, but also through experienced traumatic circumstances - a symptom of the "stress" phase, while men’s emotional burnout unfolds only via the “resistance” symptoms. Prospects for further research: to consider the problem of burnout factors appeared at medical workers’ professional path in a new perspective. Based on the obtained results, we can say that many of the studied health professionals needed specialized psychological care to overcome the emotional burnout syndrome.
