Published: July 2024

Generation Z teenagers were born in the internet and technological automation era. The negative impact of technological developments causes violations of applicable norms. Teenagers who are involved in juvenile delinquency are caused by a lack of assistance and family control. This study aims to identify appropriate educational patterns for integrating positive moral habits and norms in the family. The writing method uses a literature review. The data collection process through a literature review is supported by a comprehensive analysis of publications from academic journals in the last 5 (five) years, focusing on educational patterns in the family to strengthen the character of Generation Z teenagers. The study results show that there are 3 (three) patterns of education in the family to develop the character of Generation Z teenagers. The three education patterns are family education patterns based on example, monitoring, and understanding psychology. Parents must integrate these three educational patterns in the family to create a golden generation with positive, quality characters. Character development formed through family educational patterns can be collaborated with other character education models, such as in the school or community environment. AbstrakRemaja generasi Z lahir di era internet serta otomatisasi teknologi.

Authors: Emilzoli Mario , Priandani Ai Pemi
Published: July 2024

Most universities in Indonesia have organized entrepreneurship courses through study programs according to their respective characteristics. However, many entrepreneurial product outputs from these courses remain irrelevant to the field of expertise in the study program, including the Educational Technology study program. A course's output or achievement can be conditioned through the curriculum or the context of the course, known as the micro curriculum. Based on this, this study aims to produce a micro curriculum design for entrepreneurship courses oriented towards educational technology products. The method used is Design-Based Research (DBR), which involves needs analysis, curriculum design, construction, evaluation, and reflection. The results showed that the curriculum design developed met the needs of entrepreneurial competencies relevant to the educational technology industry. In addition, this study also provides recommendations related to learning content, learning strategies, and assessment models that can be used to support the effectiveness of the designed curriculum. Hopefully, this curriculum can help students understand entrepreneurial theory and apply it to make innovative educational technology products. AbstrakMayorititas perguruan tinggi di seluruh Indonesia pada dasarnya telah menyelenggarakan mata kuliah kewirausahaan melalui program studi sesuai dengan ciri khas masing-masing. Namun, masih banyak ditemui luaran produk kewirausahaan dari mata kuliah tersebut tidak relevan dengan bidang keahlian yang terdapat pada program studi, tidak terkecuali pada program studi Teknologi Pendidikan. Luaran atau capaian dari sebuah mata kuliah pada dasarnya dapat dikondisikan melalui kurikulum atau dalam konteks mata kuliah dikenal dengan kurikulum mikro. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan desain kurikulum mikro mata kuliah kewirausahaan yang berorientasi pada produk teknologi pendidikan. Metode yang digunakan adalah Design Based Research (DBR), yang melibatkan analisis kebutuhan, desain dan konstruksi kurikulum, serta evaluasi dan refleksi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa desain kurikulum yang dikembangkan mampu memenuhi kebutuhan kompetensi kewirausahaan yang relevan dengan industri teknologi pendidikan. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga memberikan rekomendasi terkait konten pembelajaran, strategi pembelajaran, dan model penilaian yang dapat digunakan untuk mendukung efektivitas kurikulum yang dirancang. Diharapkan, kurikulum ini dapat membantu mahasiswa tidak hanya memahami teori kewirausahaan, tetapi juga menerapkannya dalam pembuatan produk teknologi pendidikan yang inovatif.Kata Kunci: kewirausahaan; mikro kurikulum; teknologi pendidikan

Authors: Pei Duan , Ping Hou , Lin Liu , Qiu Shuang
Published: July 2024

Objective. To evaluate the pedagogical skills of third-year nursing students at Yangzhou University (China). Methods. A multisite quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Fifty-five participants were selected by convenience sampling. The Objective Structured Teaching Evaluation (OSTE) scale was used to assess teaching skills. The evaluation included four different stages: Teaching Background Analysis (E1), Lesson Plan Presentation (E2), Mock Class (E3) and Teaching Reflection (E4). Prior to the assessment, the teachers assigned homework to the students to complete at the four stations. Results. Fifty-five nursing students with an average age of 21.3±0.7 years participated in the study, with a predominance of female students (78.2%). The highest mean score was achieved in E1 (83.1), followed by E2 and E3 (82.5 and 82.3 respectively), while the lowest mean score was found in E4 (79.6). In E3, instructors gave lower scores for class organisation, class characteristics and overall performance compared to the self-reported scores of the standardised students (p<0.05). More than 80% of the students strongly agreed and recommended the OSTE as the primary method for assessing teaching skills in the classroom. Conclusion. Deficits in teaching skills were identified in the participating students; this information will allow specific interventions to improve the situation. The OSTE instrument was a useful method for assessing the pedagogical skills of undergraduate nursing students.
Continuidad y cambio en los espacios irrigados (huertas) de la Valencia medieval (siglos VIII-XV)
Authors: Guinot Rodriguez Enric
Published: July 2024

The origin of organized irrigation spaces, called orchards in the Valencian Country, dates to the Muslim era, from the 8th century. And its existence and operation has continued to the present day through the Andalusian period, the late medieval and modern feudal period, and the contemporary period with the great changes of urbanization and industrialization. Logically, this has brought about changes, but also continuities, in the material characteristics of these historical landscapes and in their social organization over time. This study presents a balance of the investigations of recent years on the characteristics of the creation of orchards (huertas) in the Andalusian period, especially in terms of the characteristics of their territorial organization. And it explains the homogeneity of the spatial design that all of them have, both in the mountainous areas of the interior of the country and in the peri-urban areas and in the great coastal plains.

Decentralised International Cooperation: Insights from the Yogyakarta (Indonesia) - Gyeongsangbukdo (South Korea) Partnership
Authors: Issundari Sri
Published: July 2024

Developing decentralised international cooperation is not easy. Managing active and beneficial decentralised international cooperation amidst many inactive regional-international partnerships will be much more difficult. Geographical factors of distant regions, language differences, and lack of planning and coordination are often the leading causes of constrained and inactive regional international cooperation. This paper will map the factors that influence the success of the Yogyakarta (Indonesia)–Gyeongsangbukdo (South Korea) international collaboration so that it provides tangible and sustainable benefits. The paper is qualitative-analytical, which aims to explore the background of the success of regional-international cooperation amid the criticism of many inactive decentralised-international cooperation. Interviews with interviewees from BPPM (Women and Community Empowerment Agency) of Yogyakarta, the Directorate of Law and International Agreements at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, and YGSI (Global Saemaul Indonesia Foundation) provide the primary data sources. Secondary data sources are derived from reports, articles, and documents regarding Yogyakarta – Gyeongsangbukdo international cooperation. Based on research findings, two variables determine the success of Yogyakarta - Gyeongsangbukdo international cooperation: first, the two local governments’ readiness to carry out all stages of international collaboration, and second, active public participation in executing and managing activities.
Party-political dynamics in Norway as a factor in Russian-Norwegian relations
Authors: Chistikov M.N.
Published: July 2024

The relations between Russia and Norway are of a contradictory nature, containing both positive and negative elements. In the scientific literature, the systemic factors affecting Russian-Norwegian relations are well studied, while the internal political reasons for the transformation of bilateral relations are insufficiently explored. In 2013, i.e. before the international political crisis of 2014, a number of studies noted the cooling of relations between Russia and Norway. At the same time, a center-right coalition came to power in Norway in 2013. The empirical base of the study consists of texts of debates in the Norwegian parliament and program documents of Norwegian parties. The article analyzed the collected data quantitatively and qualitatively. The main method of the quantitative analysis was a targeted sentiment analysis. As a result of the quantitative analysis, it was found that the parties in the center-left ruling coalition had a more positive stance towards Russia than the parties in the center-right coalition. On the basis of this qualitative analysis, three main factors determining the position of one or another party in relation to Russia were identified. First, the view of Norway’s position within the framework of Russia-NATO and Russia-EU relations, which reflects the party’s opinion about Norway’s place in the system of international relations. Secondly, the value content of relations with Russia, which is connected with the ideology of party representatives and the presence of positive historical experience. Thirdly, the assessment of Russia as a threat to Norway’s security. As a result, it was found that the left-wing parties are generally more inclined to consider Norway as a more autonomous and independent actor in relation to the EU and NATO than the right parties. This is due to the positive experience of the left parties in their interaction with Russia, as well as the higher level of importance of development issues in the northern regions of Norway. For right-wing parties, liberal values play an important role in the context of relations with Russia. In addition, they are more inclined to view Russia as a threat to Norway’s security than the center-left and center-right parties.
Subjective wellbeing and the national pride of Russians: causal analysis
Authors: Zubarev N.S. , Moreva Iu.E. , Ponarin E.D.
Published: July 2024

Happiness in Russia recovered rapidly along with economic growth between 1999–2008 after a sharp decline in the 1990s. Surprisingly, however, the economic stagnation that followed did not prevent further growth in happiness levels, which reached a historic peak by the end of 2017. Using data from the World Values Survey and the European Values Study for the period 1999-2017, we have previously showed that 1) national pride, which began to rise in the 2000s, is strongly correlated with happiness; 2) national pride, as opposed to material well-being, became an increasingly important predictor of happiness after 2008, especially for the poorer segments of the population; and 3) instrumental variables tests suggest that it is national pride that drives the long-term increase in happiness, rather than the other way around. However, a definitive judgment on the direction of causality requires a longitudinal data. After 2017, Russia experienced difficulties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine. This article clarifies the nature of the correlation between national pride and happiness in this complicated context. We apply the method of seemingly unrelated regression equations to three waves of panel data collected in 2019-2022. The results of our study indicate that there is a statistically significant stable relationship between national pride and happiness and that it is an increase in the level of subjective well-being that is leading to a higher level of national pride and not vice versa. We conclude that subjective well-being has a positive impact on the national pride of Russians. However, when interpreting these results, one should be cautious and consider that the crisis context of data collection could have affected the direction of the relationship between the variables: in the absence of tension in the socio-economic structure of society, this relationship could have the opposite direction.
The transformation of the world order: the evolutionary aspect
Authors: Lapkin V.V.
Published: July 2024

Within the framework of the methodology of system modeling and concept analysis, as well as by using a previously developed model of evolutionary cycles of the world political and economic system, supplemented by a model of transmission of leadership and its dysfunctions in the vicinity of the “singularity” of global development, a hypothesis has been formulated to explain the features of the current degradation of the unipolar world order, clarifying its time frame and possible cumulative geo-economic and geopolitical consequences. The possibility of evolutionary transformation of the unipolar world order into a different kind of global order, built on fundamentally different organizational principles, which are not hierarchical, but rather structured like a network, is explored. Among the systemic reasons for such degradation, the most important are, firstly, the evolutionary dead end of the monopolar design of a complex system. Within the framework of such a system, both organic transmission of leadership and institutional and normative-value continuity between the elites of the old and new leader are impossible. Under these circumstances, the hegemon of the monopolar world order is forced, driven by the interests of self-preservation, to destroy the foundations of the system it itself created. Another no less important systemic reason pointing to the inevitability of “creative destruction” of the traditional hierarchically organized world order is the inertia of the prospects for global development for the subjects and actors of world politics operating today, as well as the structural and functional “poverty” of mainstream models of world socio-political and economic changes in the coordinates of global ordering/disordering. Based on the analysis of the primary symptoms of the widespread awakening of actors to subjective activity that has swept the entire modern world, qualitatively new communities have been identified – growth points of new orders, proto-institutions, norms and value orientations, potential structures of political subjectivity.

Published: July 2024

This review article provides information on the role of clinical research site (CRS) Pharmacies in supporting the division of AIDS (DAIDS)-sponsored clinical trials at the CRS, their legislative framework, and how they differ from community pharmacies. These pharmacies are relatively few, and little information is available about their operation, setup, and requirements in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). The information in this article is pertinent to pharmacy associations and regulators who formulate policies and guidelines and to pharmacy professionals eager to enhance their skills and competencies through knowledge sharing to improve the quality of healthcare services. Moreover, this information is relevant in establishing a CRS pharmacy and understanding its interaction with various administrative and financial institutions. This article provides information on how CRS pharmacies achieve uninterrupted power supply for investigational medicinal products (IMP) throughout the year, the sponsor and regulatory requirements for the CRS pharmacy and the processes for IMP shipment, from its dispensation to the study participants. The article also provides information on quality control and assurance processes for maintaining a CRS pharmacy. CRS pharmacies in LMICs have unique requirements, operations, services, and setups, and regulatory authorities must develop policies and guidelines that align with these distinct features. More so, leveraging the existing CRS pharmacies to disseminate skills and knowledge to trainees, community pharmacies, and other medicine outlets can significantly enhance the quality of health services delivered to the community.

The Finale of the “Enlightenment Project” for the West and East. Part III. Imperial Models
Authors: Yakovlev Alexander I.
Published: July 2024

This part (Part I see: [Yakovlev, 2023a], Part II see: [Yakovlev, 2023b]), examines the main characteristics of the three imperial models that offered the world in the 10th–15th centuries their “development projects”: The Byzantine Empire, the Chinese Empire, and the Arab Caliphate (later the Ottoman Empire). The presence of an “ideological core”, as well as the powerful centralized power of the dynastic state, which determined the parameters of the state and social life of the empire, is stated. Internal and external threats were repelled by the bureaucracy and the army. The presence of extensive natural development potential — the presence of natural and demographic resources and the possibility of external contacts were complemented by productive agriculture in the countryside, the development of crafts, trade and finance in the cities, as well as the development of culture (scientific research, architecture, literature, fine arts). At the same time, the provision of resources and the constraining role of the state slowed down the processes of internal socio-political and socio-economic development.
Radicals in Northwest Syria: Reasons and Consequences of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s Growing Influence
Authors: Markelov Svyatoslav
Published: July 2024

A significant part of the northwestern territory of Syria is still held by anti-government Turkey-oriented movements. Among them, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTaS) plays a special role. This international terrorist organization, building its enclave in the Idlib province, becomes an increasing problem not only for the legitimate government, but also for its former allies. It uses any means to consolidate its influence and expansion, which has a significant impact on changing the strategic situation in Syria. In this article, we examine in detail the key aspects of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham's current strategy, which covers political, military, informational, and even socio-economic spheres. We also study the impact of the group’s activities on the course and prospects of the Syrian conflict in the foreseeable future.
Food Security in the Middle East and North Africa
Authors: Чих Илья
Published: July 2024

Food security is one of the most important components of the well-being of the state, its independence and national security. Not all states are able to fully meet the need for food on their own. Countries in the Middle East and North Africa, because of their geographical location and climatic conditions, are the most vulnerable to food security problems, including water security. As a result, the region is particularly vulnerable to food crises and food price spikes. This, in turn, entails internal political and regional conflicts. This paper provides an overview of the problems of ensuring food security in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. The degree of threats to various countries of the region is compared, and their approaches to solving this problem are analyzed.
Information on Ethnic Groups of Yunnan from Qing “Albums with Dian Barbarians” and Other Sources from Tang to Qing Periods
Authors: Zavidovskaya Ekaterina A.
Published: July 2024

Initial point of this research are two Qing period hand-written albums on Yunnan province (No. Xyl. F-25, Xyl. F-26) from the holdings of the Academic Library of Saint-Petersburg State University. The latter album contains a preface dated by 1839, illustrations and images of 44 ethnic groups of Yunnan, the former album contains a map of Yunnan and 75 maps of its administrative units as well as their descriptions. Texts of descriptions mention over forty various ethnic groups and provide some details on their customs and mores. Even though the descriptions in the album Xyl. F-25 are tentatively dated by 1660–1666, information on ethnic groups from the album cannot be considered overall and novel even for that period. This paper attempts to systematize the terms used for various ethnic groups in the album and provides a review of other seminal Chinese textual and pictorial sources on Yunnan’s aboriginal peoples starting from Tang until the 19th century. One of the goals of the paper is to brush up historical terms used to indicate present day Yizu and Baizu ethnic groups and trace historical context of the numerous terms found in the album. This study draws a conclusion about difficulty of extracting straight and clear system underlying multiple ethnic terms mentioned in the albums, which nevertheless may be supplanted from other written sources on Yunnan indigenes.

Authors: Nikolaeva Nadezhda A. , Zhuravleva Tatiana A.
Published: July 2024

To date, the global economic space has faced a number of strategic challenges. The Russian Federation and its regions have been subjected to unprecedented measures of influence by a number of foreign states. The situation that has developed on the Russian territory has been an impetus for the activation of internal resource potential for the formation of a new one that meets all the trends of economic policy. The sanctions had a negative impact on the labor market and the economic activity of small and medium-sized enterprises dependent on imports of goods and services. The purpose of the study is to analyze the solvency of the population in modern conditions and to determine the ways of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation and its regions on the example of the Samara region. As a scientific novelty of the research, it should be noted the use of a retrospective analysis of the level and quality of life of the population in terms of formation of their income and provision with social guarantees, as part of the ongoing socio-economic development program. The methodology of research in the field of studying the socio-economic development of the region is an urgent agenda in the scientific community today. As prospects for improving the quality and standard of living of the population of regions of the Russian Federation, the accents of strategic development are placed and their role in the formation of an effective economic trajectory is noted.
Simulation model of decision-making on the choice of the optimal level of quality in the conditions of non-price competition between aircraft manufacturers
Authors: Kolychev Sergey A.
Published: July 2024

This article discusses the competitive interaction of producers of heterogeneous products in the conditions of the Cournot duopoly, where, unlike the classical model of volume and price competition, the main parameter of competitive interaction is the quality level indicator. This integral indicator of the quality level is represented by a quantitative assessment that takes into account the properties of the product, both from the point of view of the consumer, and the technical and technological component. Based on an analytical decision-making model for choosing the optimal quality level for a light aircraft using the Simulink software complex, a simulation model of competitive interaction between manufacturers producing various modifications of light aircraft has been formed. With the help of this simulation model, a research was made concerning the influence on the equilibrium values of individual parameters, such as the level of costs for the production of a unit of a product, that is, the cost and level of investments aimed directly at improving quality. The analysis of various scenarios of the initial dynamics of adaptation of market participants was carried out, taking into account the selected values of the initial parameters. The developed model can be used in the formation of a competitive strategy for enterprises producing light-engine aviation equipment, as well as other heterogeneous engineering products.

Algorithm for determining the parameters of the territories of transport and logistics services of enterprises
Authors: Khaitbaev Valery A. , Nemchinov Oleg A.
Published: July 2024

The article substantiates the need to search for new approaches to ensuring the efficiency of the system of transport and logistics services for enterprises. Currently, there is a steady trend towards increasing the volume and improving the quality of logistics services. At the same time, the main strategic factors in the development of the logistics system are the achievement of high economic indicators through internal cooperation and cooperation between its individual elements. The current system of transport and logistics services has significant disadvantages associated with the principle of echeloning the storage of inventories, in which enterprises located at a great distance from transport and logistics centers (warehouses) are forced to spend significant time, material and financial resources on delivery. However, by improving the principle of territorial organization of enterprise support based on the allocation of economic regions on the territory of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a more effective organization and implementation of transport and logistics services for enterprises is possible. Economic zoning as a scientific approach has theoretical and methodological tools for the territorial organization of the economy and justification for the optimal placement of production entities. The allocation of districts is carried out on the basis of territorial, economic, administrative and demographic principles. The approach disclosed within the framework of the work is based on the economic feasibility of using to provide consumers with various sources of resources located in allocated transport and logistics centers (warehouses) within a constituent entity of the Russian Federation and belonging to the governing bodies of different territorial administrative units. The boundaries of economic regions are determined on the basis of the proposed system of indicators, which makes it possible to formulate an algorithm for identifying such areas. The use of this algorithm can help improve the efficiency of transport and logistics services for enterprises within the allocated budgets. Based on the proposed algorithm, a model is being developed for the interaction of governing bodies of administrative-territorial entities to solve problems of resource and transport and logistics services for enterprises. The peculiarity of the interaction model lies in the choice of subject and object for managing the supply system, as well as in the nuances of providing resources to consumers when meeting established standards for cargo delivery.

The relevance of the topic of the article is connected with the need to study issues reflecting the investment development of the Orenburg region, as well as directions for further effective use of investments to achieve socio-economic goals by the region. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the investment activity of the Orenburg region in 2010–2022, the dynamics and structure of investments, the formation of development institutions, the implementation of major investment projects. Particular attention is paid to the rating assessment of the investment activity of the Orenburg region, the achievements of the region are shown as a result of the growth of its business activity. Contradictions between GRP growth and low per capita income are revealed. According to the authors, this is due to the fact that the agricultural sector occupies a significant share in the region's economy, in which the income level is significantly lower than in other sectors of the economy. In addition, a significant number of jobs in the region have low efficiency, i.e. they are poorly paid. It is also important to emphasize that long-term investments yield returns in the form of income only after a few years. Due to the deterioration of the region's rating in the political, economic and financial-economic blocks, measures are proposed to improve management and budget policy, promote and defend the interests of the region in the federal center, consolidate the regional elite and civil society. The scientific novelty of this study is to identify the features of the investment activity of the region – specific, organizational, structural, institutional, its results and contradictions and to develop directions for their resolution. The main role in this should be played by the improvement of management and the activation of the administrative apparatus of the region, the consolidation of the regional elite and civil society. The main research methods used were analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, tabular, comparison, generalization, logical and statistical analysis. Systematic and integrated approaches allowed us to identify cause-and-effect relationships between parts of the object under study.
The practical significance of the research results lies in the possibility of using its results in the development of a strategy for the investment development of the region. Further research is expected to continue in the direction of a conceptual analysis of budgetary, tax relations with the federal center, the development of a system of measures to resolve the problems of political, managerial and financial and economic development of the region.
