А. АЛТАЙДЫҢ «ТУАЖАТ» РОМАНЫНДАҒЫ НЕОМИФОЛОГИЯЛЫҚ МОТИВТЕРДІҢ АРХЕТИПТІК НЫШАНДАРЫ
Authors: Мауленов Алмасбек , Мамыров Азамат
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the archetypal symbols reflected in the ancient Kazakh myths of neo-mythological motives of A. Altai's novel «Tuazhat». In world and domestic literature, interest and the search for myth did not decrease, but increased. The prose of our national literature, which is a component of Kazakh culture, did not stand aside. No matter how much modern human society faces economic difficulties, modern domestic literature is experiencing a spiritual and cultural revival. Today's domestic literature is inspired by the ancient Kazakh archetype, and works are written that meet the requirements of the time. Our writers freely indulge in mystical, utopian and phobic creative forms, reflected in world culture with the help of myths, and describe their thoughts with symbolic metaphors.
Mythology acquires its own poetic thinking in the works of Askar Altai. Such mental thinking demonstrates the author's complete creative possession of the nature of the process of mythification of realistic and postmodernist trends. The author draws attention to myths and folklore in the depiction of various negative phenomena that are alien to modern society. He also enriched previously stable and traditional mythological patterns by subjecting them to various changes.
The proximity of artistic prose to philosophy and psychology is a proven fact of modern literary criticism. Therefore, the era of the emergence of new absurd, pictorial and mystical works, gradually moving away from the dominance of today's realism, is connected with the author's myth.
Thus, at the beginning of the 21st century, Kazakh prose writers, who wrote in various genres, began to freely learn world and ancient Kazakh mythological materials. In the work of Askar Altai, various cultural trends and literary reminiscences are combined in one place in the space of a literary text. Instead of traditionalism, the author created new myths told by a modern "storyteller" who has his own characteristics, a different style of speech, a different understanding of life.

Published: September 2024

The topic of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises has always been interesting to discuss. MSMEs contribute to the Indonesian economy but also encounter various challenges in their business operations due to the fast growth in economic development. The sustainability of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises becomes the priority for the policymaker. Thus, to understand their problems, it is necessary to make the appropriate policy. The shifting of businesses operating in the competitive era of digitalization brings the consequences to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises to adapt to the changes by adopting digitalization and understanding the financial literacy, and technological infrastructure to support their operation in this era. Some previous studies have found that the three factors positively and significantly influence the sustainability of MSMEs. This study takes a closer look by combining these three variables in one model to explore the impact of digitalization, financial literacy, and technological infrastructure on the sustainability of MSMEs. Data was collected from 83 owners of MSMEs in Banjarmasin, Indonesia, through an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The result showing the negative effect of digitalization contradicts several previous studies that found a positive impact instead. The positive effect of financial literacy and technological infrastructure on the sustainability of MSMEs is still consistent with prior research. This research contributes to the academic insight into the importance of digitalization, financial literacy, and technological infrastructure for the sustainability of MSMEs and valuable practical recommendations to policymakers to support the sustainability of MSMEs. Further implications of these findings are discussed.

Local Autonomy without Elected Body. Or How to Live (Administratively) without Breath (of the Local Council)
Authors:   Faculty of Law and Administrative Sciences, „Ovidius” University of Constanța, Romania, Ghencea Lucia Flavia
Published: September 2024

Local autonomy is a principle of organisation and operation of the public administration, mainly regulated at the constitutional level. It represents a supreme recognition of its indispensable character in the state’s legal, political, and administrative architecture. Thus, the development of the life of a community in the absence of bodies democratically elected directly by the citizens appears completely outside the possibility of a natural administrative life. From this perspective, our study presents a specific case in which a territorial administrative unit functioned for three years (and will continue, most likely until the end of the mandate) without a local Council – the body democratically elected by the citizens to regulate life at the level of the fortress. The presentation will go through all the legal stages of the situation, starting from the first meeting of the legally established Local Council, following the 2020 elections, and ending up to now. The analysis of the incident regulations and the monitoring of the actual situation will highlight the weakness of the law from the perspective of its concrete efficiency and the danger it can constitute for democracy. Moreover, we try to raise an alarm signal on some interpretations that can lead to the illusion of the lack of absolute necessity of such institutions, with the argument that it is possible to live without them; often, the economicfinancial factor (the costs of the elections) taking precedence over the democratic debate, especially for a young democracy that still has a long way to go before reaching democratic maturity.
Striving for Coherence: Exploring the Complexities of International Administrative Law
Authors:   Free International University of Moldova (ULIM), Republic of Moldova, Bostan Alexandru
Published: September 2024

This study endeavours to clear up the terminological ambiguities prevalent within the realm of international administrative law (IAL). It traces the evolutionary trajectory of IAL, discerning its development under the influence of diverse doctrinal perspectives and highlights the challenges associated with use ambiguous terms within the jurisprudence of international administrative tribunals. The paper advocates for a departure from the dualistic terminology, exemplified by the juxtaposition of ‘international administrative law’ and ‘administrative international law’ (as observed in Romanian terminology such as ‘drept administrativ internațional’ and ‘drept internațional administrativ’, alongside consonant terms in Italian or French), in favour of a more precisely delineated lexicon. It emphasis the imperative need for clearer definitions and argues for the use of ‘international institutional law’ to accurately reflect the scope of regulations governing international organisations or their administrative structures. Additionally, it advocates for the use of ‘law of the international civil service’ as an apt descriptor for the relationships within international organisational personnel. Furthermore, the paper addresses the absence of a well-defined framework for the ‘principles of international administrative law’, used in some international administrative tribunals case law, underscoring the importance of clarity and coherence in legal terminology and doctrine.
ENHANCING THE POTENTIAL OF SPORTS FACILITIES AT SCHOOLS
Authors: MERXHANI Hazra , IBRAIMI Fjolla
Published: September 2024

The design and condition of school buildings, as well as the creation of welcoming, suitable and pleasant environments, are significant factors that impact parents’ school selection and have an important impact on the learning process and children’s well-being. The lack of sports facilities in our schools complicates the teaching process and puts physical education teachers under pressure to come up with non-ideal solutions to complete the course, especially during rainy and snowy seasons. Academic success and mental development are often prioritized by educational institutions, but physical activity-related matters are frequently disregarded, and as a consequence sports environments in schools do not receive sufficient attention. Many times, the lacking of school sport halls are justified by the lack of funding for their construction and maintenance. However, these areas are very vital not only for school students but also for the community as a whole, as they can serve as central points for a variety of social, athletic and cultural events. In some cases, they can also be financially beneficial; schools can rent them and generate income. The purpose of this research is to analyze the current state of sports facilities in the schools of Tetovo, how Tetovo citizens perceive the value of these facilities and how that affects the use and design of such services. Based on the research developed through surveys and field observation will be offered suggestions on the design of new sports spaces and improvement of old ones. This research is not meant to address detailed aspects of the design of these facilities, but it is a review of the main concerns that need to be covered in the schools of Tetovo.

CHAPTER 1: Curriculum as Praxis in the Age of Coloniality: Implications for Pedagogy
Authors: Mgqwashu Emmanuel Mfanafuthi , Khohliso Xolani
Published: September 2024

In setting up the context within which formal education is enacted, and from which individual chapters in this book emerge and respond to, this chapter critically reviews the theoretical foundations of the concept ‘education for public good’. As a consistently touted concept, the chapter reveals its analytical and practical limitations, inadequacies and detrimental effects in formal education. Implicit in the concept, the chapter argues, is an unintended perpetuation of coloniality, a phenomenon that continues to ‘devour’ and undermine all well-intentioned postcolonial/post-apartheid educational policies. The chapter concludes with offering a possible alternative: ‘education for common good’, and presents the Reading to Learn pedagogy as one of the perspectives on curriculum as praxis. This pedagogy is also presented as compatible to ‘education for common good’, capable of enabling a shift from teaching what to learn, to how to learn.

Los principales hallazgos subrayan que la gestión territorial, en combinación con la telemedicina y el fortalecimiento del rol de las enfermeras/os, puede mejorar significativamente la distribución de recursos de salud en comunidades rurales. Sin embargo, las barreras relacionadas con la falta de infraestructura y la resistencia al cambio tecnológico aún deben abordarse. Se concluye que las políticas de salud deben priorizar la formación y el apoyo a las/os enfermeras/os, así como la inversión en tecnologías digitales y la participación comunitaria.

The study aimed to find out the various experiences encountered by the leprosy survivors and in preparing campaign materials to reintegrate them to the society. The main objective of the study is to determine the experiences of the leprosy survivors and how these experiences shaped their lives. It is based on the labeling theory which states that deviance is not inherent in an act, but instead focuses on the tendency of majorities to negatively label minorities or those seen as deviant from standard cultural norms. This descriptive phenomenological study method was employed to realize the purpose of this study. A structured interview through key informants and focus group discussion was conducted to sanction and validate the information on the lived experiences of people affected by leprosy gathered at Tala Leprosarium. Living with social stigma, physical disabilities and economic hardship is experienced by leprosy survivors but they resort to offering to God their situation as a means of treatment. Leprosy survivors undergo depression, isolation and losing appetite due to their severe experiences they encountered from their family and community. Rejection and humiliation is rampant because of the stigma attached to their disease. Thus, the after effect of the said experiences, they dropped out of school, abandoned by their families, and lost their self-esteem, while others opted to end their lives. The Tala Leprosarium became their sanctuary.

From Silos to (Archives)Space: Moving Legacy Finding Aids Online as a Multi-Department Library Collaboration
Authors: Biswas Paromita , Skene Elizabeth
Published: September 2024

Prior to 2014, finding aids from Hunter Library’s Special Collections did not have a publicly accessible online presence and resided as Microsoft Word documents on an internal library server. In 2014, Hunter Library began transferring these finding aids to ArchivesSpace, an open source archives information management application. ArchivesSpace allowed librarians to publish and export EAD finding aids on the web. This article discusses the project as an interdepartmental collaboration among Special Collections, Cataloging, and Digital Projects. The authors consider this paper useful as a workflow model for libraries which lack technical infrastructure but want to transfer legacy collection descriptions to ArchivesSpace.

Published: September 2024

Postage stamp collections offer distinct challenges for special collections libraries. This essay presents a case study of the stamp collections in Brown University Library Special Collections from the perspective of a graduate student researcher and a professor who examined the holdings during a recent partnership with the University’s Public Humanities program. Currently, the stamp collections are in transition from volunteer curator to professional library management. The partnership, which included development of a class project to explore the collections and production of an exhibition to increase knowledge of the postage stamp holdings and show their value in teaching and research, was one step in that direction. This essay describes the history, management, and development challenges of the stamp collections at Brown, as well as student interaction with the materials and takeaways from planning the exhibition.

Authors: Meregaglia Alessandro , Hervochon Gwyn
Published: September 2024

This article describes the genre of specialized magazines known as “nonfiction western magazines.” These magazines focused on telling stories about the “Old West”—the nineteenth-century western United States. Joe Small founded the genre’s first magazine, True West, in 1953. Over the next thirty years, the magazine’s popularity increased and dozens of imitators were published. This article discusses the rise and decline of these magazines and also explores the magazines’ usefulness both as a source of western American history and as cultural artifacts themselves to study how the “Old West” was perceived during the period in which they were published.
