Published: October 2024

The article emphasizes that communication is one of the most important means that a person needs to transform the environment and interact in it; the definition of this phenomenon in the scientific literature is not unambiguous, but since one of the aspects of the professional activity of future philosophers will be teaching, in the course of studying the course «Theory and Practice of Communication» it is necessary to know the peculiarities of pedagogical communication and its importance for the organization of the educational process.
The discipline «Theory and Practice of Communications» at Poltava V. G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University is taught to students of the second (master’s) level of higher education, specialty 033 Philosophy; the subject of this discipline is the general theoretical and practical foundations of communication theory, basic concepts, methods of analysis and tools of communication processes, features of practical application of mass communication technologies in the socio-political sphere of society and information relations.
The skills of scientific communication, in particular in the formation of the scientific competence of future philosophers, are defined as the ability to present thoughts and scientific ideas by verbal means of communication and in writing. Given the current processes of development of Internet technologies and virtual reality, the attention of students is drawn to the importance of social networks for communication, and dissemination of various content of everyday, political, private, and other aspects. In the course of studying the course, master’s students majoring in Philosophy should be taught the importance of developing alternative and additional communication, in particular, that social interaction is impossible without communication as a social activity. Therefore, the practical aspect of using such means of communication is extremely relevant. Future philosophers should master the key categories of the course «Theory and Practice of Communication» (the concept of communication skills, personal communication skills, communication barriers, speech culture, etc.) It is concluded that the professional communication of a philosopher is a crucial component of his/her professional and personal development and one of the ways of forming the professional identity of a Master of Philosophy, which is provided by a number of opportunities that have been created at the Poltava V. G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University.

Аrticle emphasize philosophy as a special type of worldview arose as a response to the eternal need for man to expand the worldview, which is developing historically. Inherent inquisitiveness of people gradually grows into an intellectual need for limitless expansion and deepening of knowledge about the world, the human intellect tries to grasp the world with its mind in such angles that cannot be given by any experience, the intellect seeks to gain knowledge about the world as a holistic reality that a person must constantly take into account in forming programs of their behavior in society. The discipline «Philosophical propaedeutics» at the V. G. Korolenkо Poltava National Pedagogical University is taught to students of the second (master’s) level of higher education, specialty 033 Philosophy. The purpose of teaching the educational discipline «Philosophical propaedeutics» is to master the philosophical categorical toolkit, get acquainted with concepts and approaches, the specifics of the subject of philosophy, and the main philosophical problems. In the process of mastering the course «Philosophical propaedeutics», students must understand what is the specificity of philosophy, master its problematic field, understand the specifics of the philosophical knowledge of the world, understand the main categories, concepts and terms, on the one hand, and the principles and methods of knowledge, on the other hand. The course is also aimed at developing the skills of critical reading of propaedeutic philosophical literature, working with dictionaries, encyclopedias and other scientific literature, philosophical reflection and primary reasoning skills. The educational and professional program for the specialty «Philosophy» of the second (master’s) level of training defines a list of specific general and special competencies, as well as predicted learning outcomes that students must achieve as a result of studying this discipline. During the study of the course, the attention of applicants is drawn to the fact that philosophical propaedeutics is a preliminary cycle of lectures that acquaints young students (readers) with the peculiarities of philosophy as an educational discipline; It provides preparation for creative assimilation of the topics of the philosophy course and for independent study of philosophy. The task of philosophical propaedeutics is to prepare students (students, readers) for the transition from the level of their everyday worldview to the level of a theoretical worldview, from a chaotic worldview to a conscious worldview, from a worldview based on faith to a worldview based on evidence, which relies on reason.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have gained potential recognition because of their distinctive characteristics and wide utilizatrion in various fields. Therefore, development of novel biological techniques is significant for the biosynthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using the latex of Carica papaya L. Plant latex is a natural product produced by a number of plant species which are used by different tribal communities in India as a folk medicinal treatment on natural wounds or cuts. Plant latex has a huge demand as herbal products in an aspect of clinical, therapeutical and also in agricultural sectors. Natural latex is composed of different important biomolecules like, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, sterols, saponins etc. These different active chemical constituents have versatile medicinal activities against different pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoans etc. This study reports on the biosynthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (Zn NPs)using latex of C. papaya as an effective reducing agent. Green synthesis of nanoparticles has advantageous over conventional methodsbecause it does not require the use of toxic chemicals and therefore environmentally sustainable. The elemental composition of C. papaya latex was also analysed using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) technique. Properties of synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized using various methods such as ultra violet visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles also assessed for its antimicrobial activity against selected bacterial and fungal species.
Complicit masculinity of judges
Authors: Ümit Atılgan Eylem
Published: October 2024

The paper focuses on how unjust provocation reduction, regulated in Article 29 of the Turkish Penal Code, is applied in cases of violence against women, LGBTI, and transgender individuals in Turkey, also known as "masculinity sentence reduction" by feminist lawyers. In particular, I will look into case files in which the "masculinity defence" made by almost all perpetrators in femicide cases is accepted by the court as a justification for reducing the sentence of the perpetrator. I will examine how masculinity is portrayed in judicial decisions, specifically looking at provocation defences to demonstrate how jurisdiction plays a part in perpetuating masculine domination within society. Using theories of masculinity and masculine domination, I will try to reveal the contribution of judges to the "masculine legal culture" as a form of "complicit masculinity".

Authors: Güngör Özlem
Published: October 2024

New azo dyes (1a-b) were prepared by the azo coupling reaction of 2-nitro-1,4-phenylenediamine with 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde and 5-chloro-2-hydroxyaniline. Corresponding Schiff base derivatives (2a-b) bearing conjugated benzimidazole and imidazole moieties were obtained via the condensation reaction of these dyes with 2-aminobenzimidazole and 4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde. Their structures were characterized by elemental analysis, FT–IR, 1H/13C NMR, LC-MS and UV–Vis spectroscopic techniques. Chromic (solvato-, acido-, thermo-) and photoluminescence behaviour of compounds 2a and 2b were evaluated depending on their donor–π–acceptor molecular system and intramolecular proton tautomerism. The absorption and emission spectra of 2a and 2b were recorded in DMSO, DMF and CHCl3. 2a emitted turquoise luminescence in DMSO and DMF, and white luminescence in CHCl3, while 2b emitted strong turquoise luminescence in only CHCl3.
„Urbán törzsek vagyunk…” – III. : Önszerveződő kisközösségek a posztmodern korban
Authors: Gyökér Róbert
Published: October 2024

A posztmodern fordulat alapjaiban írja felül a kultúra hagyományos felfogásmódját. A művészet, a technológia és a tudás területén bekövetkező változások általános ismeretelméleti törést eredményeznek, amelyek megingatják az objektivitásba vetett hit korábban megkérdőjelezhetetlen egyeduralmát. Radikális változások mutatkoznak az interpretáció gyakorlatában is. A metanarratívák egyeduralma megtörik, a hangsúly az összegző elméletekről a valóság szubjektív értelemzésmódjaira helyeződik át. A diszkurzív jelleg felerősödése reprezentációs válsághoz vezet, a társadalmi intézmények konstruált jellegére irányítva a figyelmet. Mindez radikálisan újrafogalmazza értékrend és közösségiség hagyományos jelentéstartalmát is. Disszertációmban értékrend és közösségiség posztmodern karakterének feltárására törekszem, a közöttük fennálló lehetséges összefüggéseket, kapcsolódási pontokat vizsgálom. Szándékom a modernitás és a posztmodern kor közötti elmozdulás érzékeltetése, a változások nyomán kibontakozó szemléletmódok, alternatív világlátások eredetének feltárása volt. Mivel terepmunkámat önszerveződő kisközösségek körében végeztem, ez lehetőséget teremtett egyúttal arra is, hogy a közösségek néhány általános érvényű vonását megfigyelhessem. Ezeket a vonásokat a posztmodern kisközösség lehetséges sajátosságaiként mutatom be. Írásom zárásaként kísérletet teszek továbbá a posztmodern embertípus jellemzőinek a bemutatására, amelyet értékrend és közösségiség viszonyrendszerében bekövetkezett változásokból vezetek le. Az angolszász antropológiai hagyomány szellemiségét követő művem a jelen antropológiája: a hangsúlyt napjaink szociokulturális folyamatainak elemzésére helyezem, elsődleges referenciapontként pedig a posztmodernnek a modernitás eszmerendszeréhez fűződő – rendkívül árnyalt és ellentmondásos – kapcsolatrendszerére összpontosítok.

Authors: Abdurrohim Abdurrohim , Rusdiyah Evi Fatimatur , Abu Bakar M. Yunus
Published: October 2024

This research investigates the development of anti-bullying education models in Islamic boarding schools between 2019 and 2024, with a focus on the effectiveness of prevention and intervention strategies. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which involves article inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as data extraction and synthesis processes from two main databases, namely Google Scholar and ERIC, through the Publish or Perish version 8 application. A total of 146 articles were identified, but after selection process, only 25 articles met the inclusion criteria, while publications in the form of books and seminar proceedings were excluded due to the tendency for peer-review to be less stringent. The research results show that the two main models, namely early prevention and intervention against perpetrators and victims of bullying, have developed significantly. While both models are important, a humanist educational approach to prevention has stronger potential to reduce bullying incidents. In addition, a comprehensive holistic approach was found which includes humanist, sociological, participatory and psychotherapeutic educational aspects through dhikr. These findings provide practical insights for stakeholders to improve anti-bullying curricula and develop intervention strategies that are more sensitive to the cultural and religious context in Islamic boarding schools.

Authors: Tririnika Yuliana , Suryadi Imam , Slamet Isnandar
Published: October 2024

Problem-solving (PS) skills are efforts to find solutions when faced with challenges. This study aims to examine students' mathematical PS skills by focusing on the influence of learning motivation and identifying factors that were previously overlooked. A qualitative approach with a case study design was used, where the researcher acted as the primary instrument. The research also utilized PISA-type test instruments, observation sheets, and interviews. PISA-type questions were designed around content, context, and process components, adhering to the PISA framework. The study was conducted in a school in Surakarta, chosen for its alignment with the minimum competency assessment system similar to PISA. Using snowball sampling, nine students were selected for response analysis. These students were categorized based on their motivation levels: high, moderate, and low. The results show that students with high motivation are proactive in problem-solving, directly addressing the problem, reviewing each step as they proceed, and ensuring accuracy. Moderately motivated students take more time, often using scratch paper, and review their work only at the end. Low-motivation students face greater difficulties, frequently making mistakes, relying heavily on scratch paper, and often skipping the review process due to time pressure. To improve PS skills, future research could explore the integration of interactive digital tools with instant feedback, adaptive learning platforms tailored to student motivation, and collaborative learning exercises. Additionally, incorporating real-world scenarios into problem-based learning could enhance engagement and develop deeper problem-solving abilities across different motivation levels.

The primary aim of extracurricular activities is to complement the formal educational experience by offering opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills gained in the classroom. The objective of this research is to enhance character education in elementary school students through participation in extracurricular activities. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the study seeks to present a comprehensive overview of the current situation and to provide an in-depth description of the factors at play, offering the reader highly accurate insights. The research is conducted at SDI Lukmanul Hakim Sumenep, a school consistently recognized among the top in the region since 2013 by the Sumenep Regency administration. Data sources include key informants such as the school principal, deputy head of curriculum, teachers, and students. Findings suggest that extracurricular activities contribute significantly to the improvement of character education, instilling values such as religious observance, honesty, tolerance, discipline, and responsibility. These outcomes are achieved through regular activities like teacher and student picket duty and flag ceremonies, as well as spontaneous initiatives such as advising, correcting behavior, and providing assistance with incidental tasks. Furthermore, examples and conditioning activities, including environmental cleanliness and character education taglines, reinforce these values. The positive impacts of these activities include the development of social skills and communication abilities, with the school environment playing a crucial role in shaping students' character.

The Program Sekolah Penggerak (PSP) is a priority initiative launched by Indonesia’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbud) to drive rapid school transformation and foster collaboration within the educational ecosystem at the regional level. Despite these efforts, 2,504 schools in the first cohort of the program were deemed unsuccessful after three years of receiving targeted support and funding. This study aims to assess the implementation of the PSP Batch 2, which has been operational for over two years in Cianjur Regency, Indonesia, through a retrospective analysis. The findings are critical for formulating policy recommendations to address the weaknesses identified in the implementation process. A descriptive qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing snowball sampling for data collection and analysis. The results provide insights into (1) the chronology of PSP Batch 2’s implementation in Cianjur Regency, (2) policy violations and challenges, including the lack of supporting local policies and frequent changes in school leadership during ongoing mentorship, and (3) recommendations for future PSP implementations, offering three key alternatives: centralization of the program, enhanced inter-ministerial collaboration, and the development of region-specific policies. This study presents valuable guidance for policymakers in decentralized education systems and calls for further research in other regions to evaluate the PSP’s implementation mechanisms.

The principles of politeness are fundamental to understanding ethical and moral behavior.  This study explores the principles of politeness, as manifested in maxims, and the ethics and morals of students at Islamic Elementary School. The method used in providing data is the Listen method with Dasar Sadap techniques with Simak, Bebas, Libat Cakap (SBLC) technique. Data was obtained from 25 students' oral and written speech. The oral speech data was collected by dialogue using a recorder and transcript. Then, written speech data was taken from the transcript of the message. The research uses a pragmatic theoretical approach, especially the principles of language politeness (Leech, 1983). The data analyzed uses the collection method with Bagi Unsur Langsung (BUL) technique. This technique divided data directly into the theory, although the results of the research show that the language use of Nurul Islam students does not violate the principles of politeness. In that sense, students' speech is classified as using polite language, which is manifested in the form of (1) the maxim of wisdom (tact maxim), (2) maxim of generosity or generosity (generosity maxim), (3) maxim of acceptance or praise or appreciation (approbation maxim), (4) humility or simplicity maxim (5) agreement maxim, (6) sympathy maxim. These maxims shape student ethics and morals in the midst of rapidly increasing technological developments through the language conveyed in the interactions carried out. Thus, this research contains the politeness principle Islamic Elementary School Studets used. Social media do not influence the language used of politeness principle, although the research still has the potential to be studied in more depth regarding the principles of politeness from different perspectives and objects in rapid technological advancements.

The integration of religious learning significantly shapes students' educational experiences and character development. This study explores specific dimensions of religiosity in the attitudes of Islamic primary school students in Indonesia, focusing on awareness, initiative, and altruism. Using a qualitative design with a grounded theory approach, the research was conducted in 64 classes from grades 1 to 6, involving 1,920 students. Instruments included a guidebook of students' daily worship activities and teacher observations. Data were analyzed using NVivo 14 and Crosstab analysis. The findings reveal that students' external religiosity, influenced by their environment and personal motivation, leads to internal religiosity characterized by conscientiousness, initiative, and altruism. Conscientiousness reflects adherence to religious norms, initiative is shown through disciplined and pious actions, and altruism manifests in helping others based on religious teachings. The study concludes that the development of students' religiosity dimensions results from disciplined and continuous training supported by teachers and parents. The findings highlight the importance of ongoing attention and guidance in fostering altruistic attitudes. These insights have implications for educators, policymakers, and parents, emphasizing the need for comprehensive religious education that promotes ethical behavior and social responsibility. Future research should explore the long-term effects of religious education on moral and social development, its impact across diverse backgrounds, and the role of digital platforms in enhancing religious education.
