Authors:   Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of RAS, Andreeva E. L. , Ratner A. V. ,   Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of RAS
Published: April 2024

Considering the transformation of global economic relations, Russia strives to strengthen cooperation within the Greater Eurasian space (GES) on the basis of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The study aims to develop an approach to assessing the resource provision of the GES development. The Balassa method and the analysis of documents were used to distinguish five institutional levels (beyond the EAEU) of the GES development: I — countries that have a free trade zone agreement with the EAEU; II — countries that have other agreements; III — cooperation is elaborated; IV — negotiations were conducted; V — countries interested in cooperation. According to 4 traditional production factors, 8 types of resource provision were revealed: raw, agroclimatic and food, labour, intellectual, production capacity, transport infrastructure, innovation, financial. For their assessment, the following statistical and authors’ indicators can be used: number of employees in a certain sector, added value in the manufacturing segment, number of researchers in the group of countries, 3-year state budget exceeding the public debt, fossil fuel reserves, etc. The assessment showed that the share of the Greater Eurasian space in the global gross domestic product, natural rent, industry (including high-tech), patent generation, investments, freight traffic, significantly increased in 2000–2021. The most significant contributions to the development of the Greater Eurasian space are: land, transport infrastructure, budget safety from the EAEU; labour, land, GDP from countries except China; labour, production capacity, transport infrastructure, technology, international reserves from China. Such resource allocation strengthens cooperation within the GES, which is necessary to develop, introduce and promote advanced production technologies. Research results can be used to choose mechanisms and tools of international economic cooperation, as well as to simulate the movement of goods, services and production factors between the GES countries.
Concentration in Regional Consumer Loan Markets in the Context of Growing Digitalisation of Banking Services in Russia
Authors:   Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Branch of RAS, Mishura A. V. ,   Novosibirsk State University
Published: April 2024

Due to the dominance of the largest banks, the issue of increasing concentration and monopolisation of the Russian banking sector is discussed in regards to the competition in the industry. The Bank of Russia set the task to increase competition and reduce concentration in the financial sector, including at the regional level. This task can potentially be solved using new financial technologies, digital banking services and remote access technologies. The paper aims to assess the dynamics of concentration in local consumer loan markets in 2015–2021, as well as to answer how new financial technologies and digitalisation can increase competition in the banking sector at the regional level. The study calculated concentration indices and number of banks in consumer loan markets of Russian regions and the country as a whole. To this end, data from the website of the Bank of Russia, both for the retail loan market and the housing loan market, were analysed. The findings show that concentration indices did not decrease during this period. Simultaneously, the regional average number of banks issuing consumer loans decreased less than the total number of banks due to the entry of some banks into new regional markets. This means that the expansion of remaining banks to more regions, including through digitalisation and remote methods, has the potential to increase competition in the industry. However, at this point, only few consumer loans and deposits were provided by banks that do not have branches in a given region. Therefore, there is little evidence to suggest that new financial technologies are already increasing competition in the banking sector of Russian regions.
The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment and Trade Openness on The Ghanaian Economy
Authors:   Mendel University in Brno, Yeboah E.
Published: April 2024

Foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade openness serve as macroeconomic indicators that support economic growth. Numerous studies conducted in recent years have empirically demonstrated the significance of FDI and trade liberalisation. Historical data illustrates that Ghana operates as a net importer, posing several challenges for domestic firms due to the comparative advantage of multinational enterprises and economies of scale. However, the full extent of the theories surrounding FDI and trade openness remains incompletely understood across all economies. This study aims to uncover the impact of FDI and foreign trade on economic growth in Ghana. The study utilised time series data sourced from the World Bank spanning from 1985 to 2021, on an annual frequency. The econometric methods employed include a unit root test (ADF), Engle-Granger cointegration test, and multiple regression analysis (Ordinary Least Squares). The ADF unit root test indicated that the variables were non-stationary and integrated at first-order difference. The Engle-Granger cointegration test revealed that the variables are cointegrated. Regression analysis results demonstrated that both FDI and trade openness exert a positive influence on economic enhancement in Ghana, with GDP serving as a proxy for growth. Furthermore, the analysis showed that FDI has a positive impact on GDP per capita, whereas trade openness negatively affects it, utilising GDP per capita as the explained variable. Based on these findings, the study recommends that policymakers implement sound FDI and trade policies to foster economic growth in the country.

Türkiye’de Elektrik Tüketimi ve Gelir Eşitsizliği İlişkisi: Genişletilmiş Doğrusal Olmayan ARDL (ANARDL) Yaklaşımı
Authors: Durgun Burhan
Published: April 2024

Bu çalışmada elektrik tüketiminin gelir eşitsizliği üzerindeki asimetrik etkisi Türkiye özelinde incelenmiştir. 1987-2021 döneminin ele alındığı analizlerde NARDL yaklaşımından faydalanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasında uzun dönem ilişkisinin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, ilişkini sağlamlığı genişletilmiş ARDL prosedürüyle doğrulanmıştır. Uzun dönem esneklikleri elektrik tüketimindeki negatif şokların eşitsizlik arttırıcı etkisinin, elektrik tüketimindeki pozitif şokların eşitleyici etkisinden daha fazla olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre elektrik tüketiminin arttırılması gelir eşitsizliğini azaltmada faydalı bir araç olmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, elektrik kullanımının ve elektriğe erişimin kesintiye uğramaması sağlanmalıdır.

Testing the Fiscal Theory of Price Level for Türkiye with Fourier-Based Empirical Approaches
Authors: Serin Şeref Can , Demir Murat
Published: April 2024

Inflation is introduced as a monetary phenomenon in orthodox approaches. However, in the fiscal theory of the price level, the policies implemented by the fiscal authority, which determines the present value of intertemporal budget constraint independently of its liabilities, may be determinative of the price level. In this study, the validity of the fiscal theory of the price level for Türkiye was tested via the Fourier-ADL co-integration and Fourier Toda-Yamamoto causality approach. The findings indicate that fiscal policy was effective in determining the price level in the 1975-2021 period.

Problems that arise when creating automatic stabilization systems located on mobile objects are being solved. The advantages and disadvantages of known types of automatic stabilization systems are noted. The Hugh – Stewart platform is one of the devices used in these systems. The article presents the results of mathematical modeling of the Hugh – Stewart platform located on a mobile object, in an environment of external disturbances. This situation is typical for a platform located on a ship, constantly exposed to unpredictable disturbances in the water environment. The Hugh – Stewart platform consists of six hydraulic cylinders, some ends of which are connected directly to the deck of the ship, and the other ends of the hydraulic cylinders are connected to the platform for installing equipment, instruments, devices, whose position in space must be stable. Stabilization of the Hugh – Stewart platform is ensured by changing the length of six hydraulic cylinders according to certain algorithms to ensure the stability of the automatic stabilization system. Mathematical modeling of the Hugh – Stewart platform is complicated not only by the fact that the rotational interaction of six interconnected solid bodies (hydraulic cylinders) platform components – must be taken into account, but also by the need to take into account the influence of unknown disturbances on the platform (when modeling the Hugh – Stewart platform located on a ship, it is necessary to take into account the influence of unpredictable water (sea, ocean) disturbances). The article constructs a kinematic model of the Hugh – Stewart platform, substantiates the choice of sliding modes when implementing hydraulic cylinder control algorithms to stabilize the platform, and proposes adaptation of these modes based on neural networks to take into account the influence of unknown disturbances. Simulation results in the MATLAB software environment prove the effectiveness of the proposed models and control algorithms of the Hugh – Stewart platform.

A steady trend towards the development of electric power systems leads to their continuous enlargement and sophistication. As a result, new ways of their control appear. In this regard, the existing models and complexes for adequacy assessment may work inadequately and ineffectively in terms of the obtained results adequacy. To assess the current state of the existing models and complexes, we reviewed and analyzed the domestic and foreign software and computer systems. In particular, we considered mathematical models of minimizing the power shortage. This work is based on the problem of modifying mathematical models of minimizing the power shortage used in adequacy assessment of the electric power systems of one of the complexes under consideration. As a modification of mathematical models, it is proposed to exclude the existing method of using the line capacities and start using correct accounting for the maximum permissible active power flow in controlled sections. The experimental part reflected in the paper concerns the testing of options for models to minimize the power shortage, as well as the proposed modifications on various systems, including those consisting of three and seven reliability zones with a variable number of controlled sections and power lines included in them. The results of the study have shown that the proposed modifications are efficient and can be used in the future. The authors also obtained the most adequate results in terms of the physical laws of electric power system operation due to the model of minimizing the power shortage with quadratic losses which takes into account the limitations of power transmission over controlled sections.

The paper considers the possibility of practical realization of the FFT used for the restoration of rectangular images obtained during the restoration of digital holograms registered in the Fraunhofer zone by photodetector matrices whose sizes have bases not multiple of two. The algorithm is based on splitting the rows and columns of the matrix into submatrices with different bases. It is shown that the main problem in the development of algorithms of this class is the complexity of the structure of algorithms. A block diagram of the use of composite multipliers is demonstrated on the example of a row of a photodetector matrix of size 8000 points, from which the partitioning into composite multipliers becomes clear. Matrixes of photodetectors with such number of pixels have the size of one pixel 1,3 × 1,3 microns which allows registering digital holograms directly on the matrix of photodetector as to register holograms increased spatial resolution is necessary, therefore photodetectors with the size of 8000 × 6000 and 16 384 × 12 288 pixels are used for them. Note that often recommended addition of the transformed sequence to a multiple of a power 2 (zero padding) leads to oversampling and distortion of the phase spectrum, which is not applicable for phase measurements. For practical realization we interpret the composite length FFT algorithm as a two-dimensional transform. The step-by-step algorithm of FFT realization for image reconstruction from digital holograms of 8000 × 6000 size is considered. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is evaluated. It is shown that the efficiency of this algorithm is comparable with the efficiency of the FFT algorithm, but unlike the latter, the restriction on the multiplicity of the basis is removed. The computational complexity of the transformation for 6000 elements in the column was 123 200, and for the FFT on base two (8192) was 159 744, taking into account padding a row of size 6000 to the nearest power of size 2 (8192). Recommendations for splitting bases with arbitrary sizes are given.

Published: April 2024

En los últimos años, se han consolidado los debates sobre las diversas políticas educativas referentes a la primera infancia dentro de las agendas sociales en América Latina y el Caribe, debido a la consolidación de la idea de que es un nivel que contribuye al desarrollo cognitivo, físico, social y emocional de niños y niñas. En este estudio, se pretende conocer el tipo de formación que recibe el profesorado que atiende el nivel, a través de un análisis comparativo que responde a las características de un estudio exploratorio-descriptivo. Se analizaron 111 mallas curriculares pertenecientes a diferentes programas de formación que ofrecen la titulación dentro de instituciones de educación superior en América Latina y el Caribe. Estas fueron seleccionadas en función de sus características contextuales, escogidas de manera estratificada y teniendo en cuenta características socioeconómicas, demográficas y de titularidad, con el fin de establecer una representatividad de cada país, siempre en función de la disponibilidad de información vía internet. Los currículos se categorizan en función de elementos comunes, analizándose las diferencias entre los países y grupos de países formados en función del valor social objetivo de la educación. Entre los hallazgos más importantes se encuentra que las instituciones de educación superior que forman a los estudiantes de profesorado del nivel de educación y atención de la primera infancia muestran notables diferencias para todas las categorías analizadas, salvo la proporción de la oferta optativa. Se hace necesario profundizar más en las diferencias y sus orígenes, ya que no existen diferencias en función de indicadores objetivos de valor social de educación; diferencias que se observan más en la oferta pública.
Perspectiva infantil, escuela y desplazamiento forzado en algunas obras de la literatura colombiana
Authors: Pertuz-Bedoya Carol , Rojas-Prieto Sandra Lucía
Published: April 2024

Este artículo presenta elaboraciones realizadas, en el marco de la investigación “Miradas de infancia y escuela en la literatura infantil latinoamericana”, en cinco obras de literatura con perspectiva infantil que refieren en su trama el fenómeno del desplazamiento forzado en Colombia. Se identificaron las connotaciones que se atribuyen a la escuela y al vínculo intergeneracional, por medio de un análisis que se focaliza en dos aspectos: las transfiguraciones del cronotopo escolar en relación con el conflicto armado colombiano y las formas que adquiere el vínculo intergeneracional en el entramado ficcional de cada obra. Las fuentes literarias se analizaron bajo la consideración de criterios estéticos e históricos que, a su vez, dan cuenta de aspectos sociales, políticos y culturales. Con el análisis propuesto, se busca poner de relieve la pregunta por el lugar que ocupa la relación infancia, escuela y conflicto armado en la producción literaria colombiana que, al construirse desde el punto de vista de niños, niñas y jóvenes, sitúa sus experiencias en la esfera pública para su reconocimiento y su comprensión.

Published: April 2024

Las emociones de los escolares en el aislamiento social se exacerban cada vez más en razón de la pandemia y, con ellas, se pronuncia su necesidad de expresarse. Por lo tanto, el dibujo y sus narrativas pueden ser un medio para expresar sus necesidades, actividades y preocupaciones más comunes. El presente artículo de investigación, de enfoque cualitativo de diseño hermenéutico-interpretativo, busca describir las emociones sobre las actividades escolares y de ocio en la pandemia. En el estudio participaron niños y niñas de 7 a 12 años de edad de los países de Brasil, México y Perú. Adaptamos el marco conceptual de Fury (1996) para analizar las emociones expresadas en 288 dibujos extraídos de una población de 436 reportados. Para la metodología de análisis de las narrativas textuales, se recurrieron a los fundamentos de comprensión icónica de Paivio (1990). Inicialmente, se concluye que las emociones reflejadas en los contenidos gráficos y verbales expresan determinación en los escolares para adaptarse a las nuevas modalidades de interrelación. Así, resulta alentador identificar el acompañamiento de la familia en muchos casos e igualmente interesante el nuevo papel de la tecnología como regulador de la convivencia reflejada en los dibujos.

Published: April 2024

Este artículo de investigación identificó las perspectivas históricas que emergen en las interacciones profesor-estudiantes sobre las fuentes históricas llevadas al aula para estudiar el golpe de Estado en Chile. Por lo tanto, el corpus se obtuvo de la filmación de clases en tres cursos de secundaria, sobre el cual se realizó el respectivo análisis dialógico del discurso. Los resultados muestran que emergieron perspectivas tanto monológicas como dialógicas y se cuestiona que el abordaje de un tópico controversial haga emerger per se diferentes perspectivas, resaltando el papel del docente para lograrlo. Igualmente, se identificaron tres estrategias de enseñanza para promover la emergencia de diferentes perspectivas en el aula, así como las construcciones discursivas empleadas por profesores y sus estudiantes para distanciarse o tomar posición frente al tema controversial. Finalmente, se invita a continuar indagando acerca de cómo promover la formación de jóvenes aprendices autónomos y críticos frente a temas controversiales en la clase de historia.

Published: April 2024

En un contexto socioeconómico cambiante se reclama una enseñanza superior personalizada y permanente que sea adecuada a los nuevos perfiles profesionales versátiles y a la sociedad digital que evoluciona continuamente e invita a repensar qué, cómo, dónde y cuándo aprender. En este marco, la tutoría universitaria se convierte en un proceso imprescindible para acompañar a los estudiantes que enfrentarán el futuro incierto, con el fin de dotarles de recursos para su óptimo desarrollo. Con esto en mente, este artículo plantea como objetivo conocer cómo los estudiantes utilizan y valoran la tutoría en su formación universitaria, a través de un diseño metodológico descriptivo tipo encuesta, que se aplica a 625 estudiantes de los cuatro títulos de grado de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Murcia. Los análisis realizados muestran un pobre desarrollo de la tutoría universitaria, aún más concentrada en los aspectos académicos que en el desarrollo personal o profesional. Por lo tanto, el artículo señala algunas áreas de mejora de la tutoría, entre ellas, la importancia de informar mejor al alumnado sobre esta o de las herramientas tecnológicas para fortalecer la relación tutorial.
Novos públicos universitários e processos de integração em universidades privadas de massas chilenas
Authors: Quaresma Maria Luísa
Published: April 2024

A massificação da universidade e a sua abertura aos novos públicos escolares implicou a reconfiguração do sistema universitário e a adoção de políticas institucionais de promoção da inserção escolar destes “recém-chegados”. Portanto, este artigo de investigação tem como objetivo analisar as principais características socio-académicas dos alunos das universidades privadas de massa, as suas dificuldades de adaptação à academia, tanto no plano académico quanto no disposicional, e as oportunidades que esta passagem pela educação superior lhes abre. Para tal, analisam-se as perceções das equipas diretivas de seis cursos de três universidades privadas de massivas de Santiago do Chile sobre o seu público escolar, concluindo-se que os alunos destas universidades se caracterizam por traços comuns, mas também diferenciadores (essencialmente em função das suas trajetórias de vida) e que estes estudantes se regem pelas lógicas mercantilistas que configuram à educação chilena. Consequentemente, conclui-se ainda que as dificuldades destes alunos se situam no pilar académico e disposicional, o que exige às universidades estratégias socializadoras ativas (tanto de alunos quanto de famílias). Apesar destes obstáculos, os entrevistados são unânimes relativamente às vantagens da frequência universitária: mundivivência, aquisição de competências e habilidades, elevado retorno salarial e, last but not the least, reais oportunidades de mobilidade social intergeracional ascendente.

Published: April 2024

En este artículo de revisión se aborda la historia y el estado del arte de la alfabetización digital crítica o literacidad crítica digital. Inicialmente, se narran sus orígenes en los giros social y crítico que tomó la alfabetización digital a finales del siglo pasado e inicios del presente. Luego, se explican dos de los catalizadores para su surgimiento; por un lado, su linaje en vertientes críticas de los alfabetismos mediático, informacional y computacional, y, por otro, las críticas efectuadas a otros proyectos e iniciativas de alfabetización digital que fueron fundacionales para definir la literacidad crítica digital. A saber, respuestas a la ambivalencia de implementaciones de alfabetización y tecnología digital en instituciones educativas, objeciones a concepciones instrumentales de alfabetización, postulados de los problemas discursivos con estos alfabetismos, y análisis materialista de su economía política. Finalmente, este estudio concluye con un esbozo de los más importantes marcos y modelos propuestos en la literatura académica en los últimos años, pues estos circunscriben el estado del arte de la alfabetización digital crítica.

Published: April 2024

Objective

The objective of this study was to identify the determinants of influenza non-vaccination during pregnancy in Canada.

Methods

Biological mothers of children born between December 2018 and March 2019 were surveyed about vaccinations they had received during pregnancy, reasons for non-vaccination, obstetrical history, and demographics. Simple and multiple logistic regression models were used to measure associations between various sociodemographic factors as well as obstetrical history, and non-vaccination against influenza. We analyzed data from 2361 mothers.

Results

Factors associated with non-vaccination included being followed during pregnancy by a midwife compared to by an obstetrician-gynecologist (OR 2.02; 95% CI, 1.17‒3.50); having two or more past live births compared to none (OR 1.58; 95% CI, 1.01‒2.49); having an education level below high school diploma compared to a bachelor’s degree or above (OR 2.50; 95% CI, 1.06‒5.90); and having a household income below $60,000 (OR 2.46; 95% CI, 1.42‒4.24) or between $60,000 and $99,999 (OR 2.77; 95% CI, 1.70‒4.52) compared to a household income of $140,000 or more. The province or territory of prenatal care proved to be an important factor in non-vaccination, with statistically significant odds ratios for certain provinces: OR 7.50 (95% CI, 1.40‒40.26) for Ontario, 8.23 (95% CI, 1.53‒44.23) for Newfoundland and Labrador, and 11.39 (95% CI, 2.14‒60.60) for Quebec, as compared to the territories.

Conclusion

Despite universal access to influenza vaccines in Canada during pregnancy, regional variations and socioeconomic disparities in non-vaccination are still observable.
Джонас Прост: «Терны и волчцы» на пути Локка к толерантности
Authors: Mel'nikov Aleksandr
Published: April 2024

Данный текст представляет собой вступительную статью к переводу на русский язык ответа англиканского священника Джонаса Проста на английское издание «Письма о толерантности» Джона Локка. Тексты Проста ранее не переводились на русский язык, хотя их влияние как на позднейшие политические тексты самого Локка, так и на современную интерпретацию локкианского обоснования терпимости широко признаны и обсуждаются в обширной вторичной литературе. Именно в полемике с Простом написаны второе, третье и незавершенное по причине смерти четвертое письмо Локка о толерантности, значительно превосходящие по объему исходный текст и уточняющие многие акценты, оставшиеся непроясненными в первом письме. Прост проводит решительную атаку на утверждение о том, что внешняя сила не может помочь формированию искреннего убеждения в истине, а потому не оправдана в целях спасения души — так называемый аргумент от убеждения (argument from belief) Локка. С точки зрения Проста, ни отсутствие прямого подчинения убеждения воле, ни понимание обязанностей правителя на основании естественных интересов его подданных не отменяют права разумного применения силы правителем для защиты религиозной истины — напротив, требуют этого применения как необходимого средства для основополагающего интереса каждого человека в спасении собственной души. Вниманию читателей предлагается перевод первого текста, написанного Простом в полемике, а также вступительная статья об основных темах полемики в целом, с отдельным акцентом на том, как в ее свете предстает, и в каких уточнениях может нуждаться argument from belief. В то же время автор подчеркивает, что статус этого аргумента является далеко не единственной, а возможно, не самой главной, интересной или актуальной ставкой в споре Локка и Проста.

ResumenDentro del imaginario de una nación, del imaginario político y cultural existen las llamadas fronteras. En ocasiones, viene a ser una metáfora de la transgresión, pero las fronteras no siempre cumplen ese papel. La frontera del oeste Ibérico (Extremadura-Alentejo/Beira) bien podría ser el caso de una raya llena de convenios bilaterales, de trabajo en equipo y buenas relaciones. Un cambio surgido en las últimas décadas gracias al Estatuto de Autonomía de la región extremeña y del interés que los ciudadanos han demostrado por la cultura del otro.AbstractTo help explain the National, Political and Cultural Identity we often use the term “Boundaries”. Sometimes, this term becomes a metaphor for transgresstion, but the “boundaries” do not always fulfill that role. The West Iberian border, between Spain and Portugal, could well be the case of bilateral agreements, teamwork and good relationships. Recently, a change emerged thanks to the Statute of Autonomy. The citizens of this region full interest is became for each others culture not too much time ago.

El bilingüismo es una corriente educativa que se ha incrementado de manera constante en los últimos años en el sistema educativo español. Son muchos los debates planteados en torno a este tipo de enseñanza, y muchas las incógnitas sobre la eficacia de este tipo de educación. En este trabajo se relaciona el bilingüismo con otro factor olvidado en muchas ocasiones en las aulas, el desarrollo de la creatividad. El principal objetivo de esta investigación es estudiar la creatividad verbal y el rendimiento académico en las áreas de carácter verbal y/o lingüístico en el alumnado que cursa estudios bilingües en Educación Primaria. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación se ha evaluado a dos grupos educativos del mismo curso académico, por un lado a alumnos de un sistema bilingüe y por otro a alumnos de enseñanza tradicional. Tras observar los resultados obtenidos, llegamos a la conclusión de que la implantación del sistema de enseñanza bilingüe, tiene claras influencias positivas en el desarrollo cognitivo y académico del alumnado. Siendo los alumnos bilingües los que presentan mejores puntuaciones en los predictores de la creatividad verbal como son la fluidez y a originalidad, así como mejores puntuaciones frente a los alumnos de enseñanza tradicional en asignaturas verbales como son el Conocimiento del Medio y la Lengua Castellana.

imagen mental, motivación y lectura en lengua extranjera / Mental imagery, motivation and reading in a foreign language
Authors: Ávila López Javier
Published: April 2024

Neural research points to a new direction in the study of the human mind and mental imagery seems to be a component of thought underlying every act of knowledge. In consonance with this evidence, some educational approaches are advocating the use of mental images in the classroom in order to aid in comprehension and recall. This new neural evidence presents an epistemological challenge both to the empirical and the theoretical realm, implying the promotion and development of research studies to check its applicability to different areas of learning together with the revision of the existent learning theories incorporating the new research findings. In line with this neural evidence, a cuasi-experimental study (n=223) was designed in order to analyse the incidence of mental imagery instruction on reading skill in a foreign language (English) and the degree of correlation to interest in the FL. The experimental group received treatment in mental imagery generation and manipulation, whereas the control group kept the traditional reading activities of the course. Different gathering information tools were used: reading part of the TOEFL, visual vividness imagery questionnaire, and a group of qualitative tools (questionnaires, interviews, and observation rubric). The UNIANOVA analysis shows a significant increase in the reading ability of the experimental group together with an increase in the interest measures on the experimental group.
La creación de una exposición virtual de poetas clásicos catalanes en el aula de secundaria / Creating a Virtual Exhibition of classical Catalan Poets in the Secondary Classroom
Authors: Ramos Joan Marc
Published: April 2024

Expopoètica, a digital exhibition created by students of the 4th Year of Secondary Education in Institut Premià de Mar, focuses on classical Catalan poets of the 20th century. It is an innovative experience that combines students’ literary background with a meaningful use of ICT, which is embedded in the final creation of a multimodal text: a digital infographic.
Ballester & Ibarra (2016) defend an eclectic approach when teaching literary skills before students can become competent readers. In our case, two factors are considered fundamental to achieve our objective: a contextualization of the classical texts and its interpretative and experiential reading.
Based on a learning sequence designed to acquire receptive training of poetic texts (Ambròs & Ramos, 2007 and 2008), the initial project is complemented with a much more detailed exploration of the author's context, which leads to a dialogue between author and reader in the final product: a digital infographic that will be part of the collective exhibition on classical Catalan poets.
We conclude our experience by discussing the possibility of carrying out this type of projects in  Secondary Education always according to the existing professional profiles.
La geografía de los clásicos: rutas literarias para el fomento lector y la promoción del patrimonio / The geography of classics: literary routes for reading development and heritage promotion
Authors: Méndez Cabrera Jerónimo , Rodrigo Segura Francesc
Published: April 2024

Starting from the premises of geocritics, the poetics of space and literary geographies, this work is a journey which begins from a conception of traditional symbolic space to reach the literary space from an educational conception that prioritizes the meaningful learning of literature, the reading and literary training and is also adjacent to the didactics of social sciences. From an interdisciplinary perspective, special emphasis is placed on the socializing function of literature for reading promotion and the importance of reading literary classics in contexts of updating that, in this case, materialize in community spaces and heritage promotion —not only conservation. In this sense, we present the educational achievements and pending challenges of a didactic experience carried out during the last four years with students of Teaching (Early Childhood and Primary Education): a historical-literary route through the city of Valencia in which the promotion of classics arises from pedagogical thought and shared reading, under the principles of dialogical learning, with a communicative approach and the integrated treatment of language and literature.

Authors: Korkmaz Selma
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Traditional Turkish drama, which reflects the Turkish culture in the best manner and ensures that this culture is transferred to the next generation, helps the transfer of customs and traditions, as well as many elements such as language and religion which belong to the Turkish culture, in a humoristic and entertaining manner. In order to save cultural values from being forgotten and ensuring that the new generation adopts these values, it is beneficial to teach the features and works of traditional Turkish drama to the new generation. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the traditional Turkish drama is given adequate place in Turkish language curriculum and, on the other hand, the extent to which Turkish language teachers cover the characteristics and works of traditional Turkish drama in their classes. Our study group consists of 40 Turkish language teachers with minimum 10 years of experience at secondary schools in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. An interview for consisting of 5 questions was used in order to collect data. The data acquired in the end of the study were analyzed using content analysis, frequency and percentage. As a result of the findings, it has been found out that a majority of Turkish language teachers stated that information and application related to traditional Turkish drama were given inadequate place in Turkish language curriculum and that they agreed that all genres related to this drama, namely Karagöz, encomiast, puppets, light comedy, country theatrical lays should be taught to the students.

Authors:   People & Global Business Association, O Tulsi Paudel , Li Wen Ya , Kim Yeong Gug , Ji Yunho
Published: April 2024

Purpose: The demand for halal foods among non-Muslim customers is increasing in non-Muslim countries. This study investigates South Korean non-Muslim customers' halal food purchase intentions using an extended model of goal-directed behavior (EMGB). Design/methodology/approach: The study model combines halal awareness with the existing model of goal-directed behavior (MGB) variables and examines the moderating effect of word of mouth (WOM). Findings: The results indicated that attitudes, positive anticipated emotions, perceived behavioral control, and halal awareness influenced non-Muslim consumers' desire to purchase halal foods. Desire and halal awareness also predicted purchase intentions. Moreover, word of mouth (WOM) had a significant moderating effect on the desire to purchase intentions of halal foods. Research limitations/implications: The results of this study can be utilized in managing the halal food business by providing information on non-Muslim consumer characteristics. Originality/value: This study aims to provide implications for the globalization of halal food by identifying specific variables that affect the halal food consumption behavior of non-Muslim consumers.

Authors:   People & Global Business Association, F Thanatchaporn Jaruwanakul
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This research explores the impact of adopting AI-CRM on integration capability, team collaboration, and firm performance. Additionally, it investigates whether big data analytical capability significantly influences integration capability, team collaboration, and competitive advantage. The study delves into whether integration capability is a driver of team collaboration and assesses the influence of competitive advantage on firm performance. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative approach was employed using a questionnaire as the primary tool. Online Google forms were distributed to 450 middle-high level management professionals across ten large enterprises in Thailand that have implemented AI-CRM and big data analytics. Sampling techniques included judgmental, convenience, and snowball sampling. Data analysis utilized Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to validate model fit and test hypotheses. Findings: The study revealed that the adoption of AI-CRM significantly impacts integration capability, team collaboration, and firm performance. Big data analytical capability has a significant influence on team collaboration and competitive advantage but lacks a significant effect on integration capability. Furthermore, integration capability is significantly associated with team collaboration. However, the study did not find support for the relationship between competitive advantage and firm performance. Research limitations/implications: Findings are specific to the 450 middle-high level managers in ten large Thai enterprises; caution is needed when applying results to a broader population. Furthermore, the study focused on key factors, but additional variables may influence relationships. Future research could explore a broader range of factors. The study did not deeply investigate potential mediating mechanisms between variables. Further research could explore detailed pathways connecting studied variables. Originality/value: The study provides actionable insights for businesses, particularly those in Thailand, that have implemented AI-CRM and big data analytics. Practical implications may guide strategic decisions to enhance integration, collaboration, and overall performance.
