Emerging energetics alternatives
Authors: Bushnell Dennis M
Published: November 2024

Energetics is the key to addressing climate change at scale and profitably. The current at scale and profitable climate energetics approach is renewables plus storage. This report summarizes nascent/emerging at scale and profitable energetics approaches for generation, storage, efficiency/conservation, and mitigation, the frontiers of responsible climate-related energetics. There are two weak nuclear force batteries that could provide competition for renewables and storage going forward. There are biologic approaches that could provide ultra-low-cost massive capacity biofuels, sequester massive amounts of atmospheric CO2, and increase the planet’s albedo. Based on the learnings from renewables, profitability is the apparent key to rapid, at scale response to climate change.

Authors: James Age Terungwa , France Machaba Masilo
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the digital inclusion status of external supervisors of preservice mathematics teachers in an open distance e-learning (ODeL) environment. The study adopted a survey design with a self-structured Digital Inclusion Status Questionnaire (DISQ). A sample size of 44 preservice mathematics teachers’ external supervisors partook in the study. The respondents were selected using simple random sampling techniques from the 93 external supervisors who supervise preservice teachers at the University of South Africa (UNISA). The DISQ was administered to the respondents via email, and data was collated was analyzed using descriptive statistics of means, standard deviations, pie charts and histograms. The study's findings showed that the respondents have devices that they can access the internet with and there is strong internet network in their locations, but internet data is not affordable, they have not undertaken a digital literacy programme and are therefore not digitally literate. The study further revealed that the supervisors cannot sufficiently apply internet usage skills online and they are not satisfied with their internet usage outcome, highlighting the need to improve on their internet usage skills. It was concluded that the external supervisors are not digitally inclusive, therefore subsidized internet data and periodic digital literacy training programmes are recommended.

Published: November 2024

This study examines how financial literacy affects the saving habits of older people in Hanoi, Vietnam and the impact of digital financial literacy in mediating this relationship. The research is based on data collected from 250 participants aged 55 and above, surveyed in April 2024. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with SmartPLS 4 software estimates the relationship among variables. The study confirms a positive correlation between financial literacy and the saving behavior of elderly people. Additionally, digital financial literacy plays a positive mediating role in enhancing the effect of financial literacy on saving behavior by facilitating elderly people's utilization of digital tools for financial management and the pursuit of more effective saving strategies. However, traditional financial literacy maintains a more significant and direct impact on the saving behavior of this demographic group. These findings have practical implications for developing policies and interventions to enhance financial literacy and digital skills among the elderly, ensuring financial security and fostering saving behavior. The results underscore the importance of targeted educational initiatives that address both traditional financial literacy and digital financial competencies for elderly people, potentially leading to improved financial outcomes in this demographic group.

Published: November 2024

Objectives: Dental clinics are one of the major producers of mercury-containing waste due to the use of dental amalgam.  The atmospheric transport and persistence of mercury and its compounds in the environment, coupled with their high potential for bioaccumulation and detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems, underscore the necessity for effective management of mercury waste. Due to the lack of comprehensive and integrated guidelines for the effective management of dental amalgam waste in Iran, the objective of this study was to adapt a guideline for the management of amalgam waste in dental settings within the country.
Materials and Methods: The method used was based on the adaptation principles presented by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and included searching and reviewing guidelines related to the management of amalgam waste in developed countries, extracting recommendations, revising the recommendations considering the local infra-structures and conditions, and receiving expert opinions and reaching consensus according to the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method.
Results: The final guideline includes 34 recommendations in 5 areas: manage-ment of the amalgam scraps, considerations for dental equipment, management of the extracted teeth containing amalgam restorations, management of the amalgam capsules, and considerations for placement and replacement of the amalgam restorations.
Conclusion: The use of this guideline in medical universities, public and private dental clinics, along with the supervisory role of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, can be a way to minimize the environmental hazards of mercury.

Authors: Rojanaphan Pakapon
Published: November 2024

Predictive nutrition is a relatively young science that aims at guiding the consumers to adhere to those diets that would match their specific genotype, gender, behavior patterns, and health conditions. a subfield of AI known as machine learning (ML) has revolutionized practice in this realm due to providing approaches for considering massive amounts of data and using data-driven interventions for individual health enhancement. Precision nutrition is discussed in this paper to include the possibility of using ML techniques in the process in order to enhance health outcomes of patients. Through incorporation of various datasets such as genetic profile, biomarkers data and food consumption data, it is possible for ML models to predict and develop diets forecast with greater precision than in the past. Ethical issues, variability, and algorithm bias are also discussed with recommendations on ways to make the model more reliable and usable for all stakeholders. This work establishes the potential of ML in improving precision nutrition and specifies the need for interdisciplinarity to advance innovative, human-focused digital dietary solutions.
Automated Nutrient Deficiency Detection and Recommendation Systems Using Deep Learning in Nutrition Science
Authors: Rojanaphan Pakapon
Published: November 2024

Nutrient deficiencies affect millions globally, contributing to severe health issues and reduced quality of life. Traditional methods of diagnosing these deficiencies and recommending dietary adjustments are often time-intensive, prone to error, and lack personalization. The advent of deep learning has revolutionized nutrition science, offering automated, accurate, and scalable solutions. This paper delves into the development and application of automated nutrient deficiency detection and recommendation systems powered by deep learning.
Key components of such systems include advanced data processing techniques that analyze multimodal datasets, such as biomarkers, dietary records, and food images. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) excel in recognizing and quantifying nutrients from food images, while Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) handle time-series dietary data. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) facilitate data augmentation and textual analysis of dietary logs, respectively. These systems enable precise detection of deficiencies and generate tailored dietary plans based on individual needs, considering demographic and lifestyle factors.
This article highlights case studies and practical implementations of deep learning models in real-world applications, such as AI-powered nutrition apps and biomarker-based deficiency prediction. It also addresses significant challenges, including data quality, algorithmic bias, and ethical concerns related to privacy and equity. Furthermore, the study explores future opportunities, such as integrating explainable AI, leveraging multi-modal data sources, and enhancing IoT-based tracking devices to improve recommendation systems. By bridging the gap between AI technology and nutrition science, these systems hold the potential to revolutionize global dietary health, offering scalable, personalized, and efficient solutions to combat nutrient deficiencies.

Published: November 2024

Faroese language planning innuences the selection of words - both the entry words (lemma) and the equivalents in Faroese dictionaries. The puristic trend in language policy has put the editors in a dilemma concerning words of foreign origin and especially words containing affixes of non-Norse origin. This attitude has changed in recent years and this has resulted in a wide vocabulary range in the Faroese dictionaries. It has become evident that there is a tendency to allow a larger number of words conlaining affixes of non-Norse origin in Faroese dictionaries. The article addresses an analysis of the selection of vocabulary in one monolingual dictionary, two bilingual dictionaries and one multilingual dictionary.

Published: November 2024

Synthetic intergeneric amphydiploids and genome-substituted wheat forms are an important source for transferring agronomically valuable genes from wild species into the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome. They can be used both in academic research and for breeding purposes as an original material for developing wheatalien addition and substitution lines followed by translocation induction with the aid of irradiation or nonhomologous chromosome pairing. The chromosome sets and genome constitutions of allopolyploids are usually verified in early hybrid generations, whereas the subsequent fate of these hybrids remains unknown in most cases. Here we analyze karyotypes of five hexa- (2n = 6x = 42) and octoploid (2n = 8x = 56) amphydiploids of wheat with several species of the Aegilops, Haynaldia, and Hordeum genera, and six genome-substituted wheat–Aegilops forms, which were developed over 40 years ago and have been maintained in different gene banks. The analyses involve C-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with pAs1 and pSc119.2 probes. We have found that most accessions are cytologically stable except for Avrodes (genome BBAASS, a hexaploid genome-substituted hybrid of wheat and Aegilops speltoides), which segregated with respect to chromosome composition after numerous reproductions. Chromosome analysis has not confirmed the presence of the N genome from Ae. uniaristata Vis. in the genome-substituted hybrid Avrotata. Instead, Avrotata carries the D genome. Our study shows that octoploid hybrids, namely AD 7, AD 7147 undergo more complex genome reorganizations as compared to hexaploids: the chromosome number of two presumably octoploid wheatAegilops hybrids were reduced to the hexaploid level. Genomes of both forms lost seven chromosome pairs, which represented seven homoeologous groups and derived from different parental subgenomes. Thus, each of the resulting hexaploids carries a synthetic/hybrid genome consisting of a unique combination of chromosomes belonging to different parental subgenomes.
Transcription factor TCF4: structure, function, and associated diseases
Authors: Savchenko R. R. , Skryabin N. A.
Published: November 2024

Our understanding of human genes - particularly their structure, functions, and regulatory mechanisms - is still limited. The biological role of approximately 20 % of human proteins has not been established yet, and the molecular functions of the known part of the proteome remain poorly understood. This hinders progress in basic and applied biological and medical sciences, especially in treating hereditary diseases, which are caused by mutations and polymorphic variants in individual genes. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the mechanisms of protein functioning to address this problem. This further emphasizes the importance of investigating gene functions and molecular pathogenetic pathways associated with single-gene inherited diseases. This review focuses on the TCF4 gene that encodes a transcription factor crucial for nervous system development and functioning. Pathogenic variants in this gene have been linked to a rare genetic disorder, Pitt–Hopkins syndrome, and TCF4 polymorphic variants are associated with several socially significant diseases, including various psychiatric disorders. The pathogenetic mechanisms of these conditions remain unexplored, and the knowledge about TCF4 upregulation and its target genes is limited. TCF4 can be expressed in various isoforms due to the complex structure and regulation of its gene, which complicates the investigation of the protein’s functions. Here, we consider the structure and functions of the TCF4 transcription factor. We discuss its potential target genes and the possible loss-of-function pathogenetic mechanisms identified in animal and cellular models of Pitt–Hopkins syndrome. The review also examines the advantages and limitations of potential therapies for Pitt–Hopkins syndrome that are based on TCF4 dosage compensation or altering the activity of TCF4 target genes.

Authors: Oliveira da Silva Hugo , Setrak Sowmy Daniel
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo avaliar a viabilidade técnico-operacional de um sistema fotovoltaico off-grid para atender hospitais de campanha do Exército Brasileiro. Para fazê-lo, deve-se avaliar a sua demanda de energia, destacando os equipamentos utilizados e o seu perfil de utilização ao longo do dia. Os equipamentos internos foram subdivididos em três grupos: equipamentos hospitalares, equipamentos não-hospitalares e sistema de climatização. As simulações foram realizadas tomando como base a região de Pacaraima, que abriga uma operação humanitária da qual o Exército faz parte e colabora no apoio à saúde. A partir do dimensionamento realizado, foram definidas três estratégias para o sistema de back-up do arranjo fotovoltaico, o que possibilitou compará-las com a alternativa existente a partir do consumo de diesel: uma composta totalmente por baterias, uma por um gerador para o período noturno ou uma com gerador apenas para o sistema de climatização. Nos dois primeiros casos, o tempo superior à dois meses torna a solução fotovoltaica logisticamente mais vantajosa, enquanto no último esse tempo sobe para três meses.

Published: November 2024

Based on the data from the study «New Social Inequalities in the Era
of Digitalization» and the typology of urban settlements (Capitals, Cities, Small
Towns), differences in digital lifestyles, technology consumption patterns and everyday
online practices of urban residents are revealed. As a theoretical basis, an approach
is used that considers the practice of using digital technologies as an integral part of the
daily life of citizens, closely related to other routine and everyday practices. The study
revealed differences in the arrangement of the digital home environment, in the styles
of using digital devices typical of different types of cities. Five types of technology and
equipment use in the workplace have been identified, of which two are directly related
to digital technologies and are characteristic of urban digital style in general, the results
of the study also showed that, despite the similarity in self-assessment of digital skills
that allow online purchases and payments, Internet and online shopping practices are
more rooted in the daily life of residents of Capitals and Cities is more important than
small settlements. The directions of further research answering the question of the
uneven spatial prevalence of online shopping practices are proposed.

of the Russian Federation”, a scientific discussion is unfolding on the conceptual
foundations of such a policy. This discussion is also the reason for this article. The author
critically analyzes the stereotypical ideas about the national policy of the 1990s as oriented
towards multiculturalism and examines the prospects for the establishment of a new
concept of interculturalism in Russia. The main scientific question of the article is about
the factors preventing or contributing to the approval of this political project in Russia.

author in three Russian cities – Rostov-on-Don, Ufa and Perm are presented.
A look at cyber aggression in the Russian digital space
Authors:   Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS, Moscow, Russian Federation, Pozdniakova Margarita E. , Bryuno Viktoriya V. ,   Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS, Moscow, Russian Federation
Published: November 2024

This article examines the phenomenon of cyber aggression in the Russian
digital space. Based on survey materials conducted by the sector of the sociology
of deviant behavior of the Institute of Sociology of the Federal Scientific Research
Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences among schoolchildren and their
parents (2020), as well as students (2022, 2024), the prevalence of cyber aggression
among young people, its forms and features are analyzed. It has been revealed that
encounters with situations of aggression on the Internet are an element of the everyday
experience of modern teenagers and young people, while a significant proportion
of teenagers have become victims of cyberbullying. The rather high indicator of young
people’s loyal attitude towards some forms of aggression on the Internet looks
alarming and indicates the normalization of aggressive patterns on the Internet. Our
research reveals significant gaps in adolescent parents’ awareness and understanding
of cyberbullying. Many parents, being active Internet users, are nevertheless not
sufficiently informed about their children’s online activities and the dynamics of the
digital environment in which they communicate. This creates a gap in understanding
how youth interact online and makes parents less effective at preventing or responding
to cyberbullying. Parents recognize their limited competence in matters of digital
safety, which emphasizes the need for enhanced information support for parents aimed
at increasing their awareness of the nature and signs of cyber aggression.
Dialectics of interaction of systems of smalland medium cities (based on the example of Nizhny Novgorod region)
Authors:   Volga branch of FCTAS RAS, Moscow, Russia, Trufanov Aleksandr Yu.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the objective sociocultural processes of modernizing
the lifestyle of small and medium-sized cities, marked by complex and contradictory
phenomena. At the same time, despite this, it is emphasized that contradictions in the
256 А. Ю. Труфанов
sociocultural space lead to the unity of the above processes. Thus, the methodological
basis of the article is the use of the laws of dialectics to describe the events occurring
in the life of small and medium-sized cities. In addition, the theoretical basis of the
article was the method of analyzing sociocultural manifestations in small and mediumsized cities, a comparative analysis technique that allows us to compare sociocultural
phenomena in various territorial entities. The empirical basis of the work was the
results of sociological studies conducted in the Nzhegorod region. The work notes
that culture cannot develop separately and in isolation from other cultures, or become
isolated in itself. Otherwise, it leads to destructive tendencies. It is especially noted
that both self-identification and the development of small and medium-sized cities are
influenced by a number of other factors, such as the level of migration flows, economic
and geographical components. All this leads to isolation and exclusivity of a particular
territory, but at the same time, the residents themselves feel like a common ethnic
group, albeit within the regional or federal levels.

Authors: Mudavanhu Chiedza R. , Mugabe Prisca H. , Imbayarwo-Chikosi Venancio H. , Mukamuri Billy , Caron Alexandre
Published: November 2024

Background: In rural areas in Africa, the productivity of small-scale livestock systems is low. Development programmes aim to increase productivity using technical innovations, including the introduction of foreign breeds. The level of adoption of foreign breeds needs to be investigated to assess the effectiveness of the introduction programmes. Aim: This article analyzes the socio-economic and ecological factors associated with the adoption of foreign livestock breeds in Zimbabwean rural communities, in the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area. The foreign breeds concerned, include Brahman cattle, Boer goats and Boschveld chickens. Methods: A mixed methodology was used, combining a literature review, individual in-depth interviews (n=100), key-informant interviews and focus group discussions. Triangulation and thematic analysis informed both research and data analyses. Results: The key socio-economic dynamics that influence the perceptions and adoption of specific livestock breeds were linked to productivity, reproduction, management, social criteria and health. The most important ecological factors included livestock predation, heat stress, and shortages of water and pasture. Despite the productive potential of foreign breeds, the level of adoption was low due to the local context, in which foreign breeds were unable to express their full genetic potential. Most farmers keep indigenous breeds because they are well adapted to local climatic conditions and resistant to livestock diseases. Conclusions: To improve the effectiveness of programmes targeting livestock production, governmental services and development, stakeholders should adopt more participatory processes and adaptive management strategies, which better reflect smallholders’ demands.

Importance. Digital technologies and information and communication technologies have become a part of the modern educational process. Of particular interest to contemporary researchers is the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the process of teaching and learning foreign languages. This research examines the possibility of using chatbots to improve the efficiency of teaching English phrasal verbs in the “Foreign Language” course at a technical university. The purpose of the study is to develop and describe a methodological model for teaching English phrasal verbs using chatbots.

Materials and Methods. The creation of the model has been preceded by an analysis of the prerequisites that determine its necessity; in particular, the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standards for the specified area of training, the needs of the government and society in the training of highly qualified professionals with a good command of a foreign language are studied, as well as the existing contradictions between the language teaching potential of phrasal verbs and insufficient attention to their study in the system of language training at the university are identified. The system-based, competence-based, student-centered, communicative-cognitive and content and language integrated learning approaches have been chosen as the methodological basis of the model.

Results and Discussion. A methodological model for teaching English phrasal verbs to students of a technical university enrolled in engineering programs is described (using the example of the undergraduate program 09.03.01 “Informatics and Computer Science”). The proposed model is a system consisting of several components that include an objective, theoretical background, a technological component (teaching methods and techniques, learning materials, content, conditions of learning, forms of teaching and a step-by-step teaching algorithm), assessment and learning outcomes. The model is based on the following didactic principles of teaching phrasal verbs using artificial intelligence technologies: individualization and differentiation, digitalization, active learning, motivation, accessibility and feasibility, and methodological principles: communicative teaching, teaching in context, situation-based and theme-based teaching, and interactive teaching.

Conclusion. The proposed model for teaching English phrasal verbs using chatbots contributes to more effective mastery of the language and the development of speaking and writing skills in technical university students.

Elections to the Second State Duma and the Orthodox clergy (based on the materials of the secular press)
Authors: Kalyuzhnaya O. V.
Published: November 2024

Importance. The issue of the Orthodox clergy involvement in elections to the State Duma of the Russian Empire continues to be one of the most challenging and under-researched. The purpose of the study is to examine the response of secular periodicals to the Orthodox clerics involvement in the elections for the Second State Duma.

Materials and Methods. The subject of the study is the perception of representatives from various socio-political backgrounds regarding the Orthodox clergy involvement in elections to the State Duma as presented in Soviet periodicals. The research has been conducted using methods of con tent analysis, comparative analysis, and typology, based on materials from leading periodicals published in the Russian Empire, both party-affiliated and non-partisan.

Results and Discussions. It is revealed how representatives of various public figures treated the Orthodox clergy participation in the elections to the State Duma. The following key points are highlighted, which are discussed in the periodical press: the clergy role in the political process, the clergy participation in the parties’ activities, the attitude of priest G.S. Petrov, the Orthodox clergy and the results of the elections to the State Duma.

Conclusions. The Orthodox clergy is seen as a significant factor in the election campaign. For right-wing publications, the priests acted as their allies, with the help of which it is planned to bring as many monarchists as possible to the Duma. At the same time, some representatives of the right-wing press are against the participation of priests in the elections. For the Cadets, the Social Democrats and the periodicals close to them, the priests acted as agents of the political will of the bureaucracy, which sought to increase the number of conservative-minded deputies in the Duma.

Considerando que o desconforto visual gera prejuízos na execução de atividades, este artigo objetiva uma análise a partir da percepção da iluminação pelos alunos em diferentes posições em salas de aula. Foram investigadas seis salas de aula em três escolas municipais, localizadas no clima tropical quente e úmido. Dados de iluminância e contraste no campo visual, obtidos a partir de simulações computacionais utilizando o programa Apolux IV, foram correlacionados com dados obtidos em campo, especialmente de aplicação de questionários, que resultaram em uma amostra com 95 crianças entrevistadas. A análise estatística, a partir de Modelos Lineares Generalizados, comprovou significância entre a percepção dos alunos em relação à iluminação e variáveis associadas à probabilidade de ofuscamento, especialmente o contraste no campo visual (foco x ergorama), a iluminância na carteira dos alunos e no quadro das salas de aula. Apesar das escolas adotarem um projeto padrão, as orientações espaciais são distintas, fato que resultou em diferenças no desempenho da iluminação natural. Na escola C, com salas de aula com orientação noroeste e sudeste, foi observada uma maior ocorrência de iluminâncias no intervalo acima de 2000 lux, valor associado à maior probabilidade de desconforto visual.
Pedagogia de Paulo Freire e tecnologias digitais na educação
Authors: Vieira Márcia de Freitas
Published: November 2024

Paulo Freire, o Patrono da Educação Brasileira, sempre fomentou o uso das tecnologias digitais na educação, reconhecendo as demandas da sociedade contemporânea e as potencialidades dos recursos tecnológicos. Este artigo busca refletir sobre como a pedagogia desenvolvida por Paulo Freire vem sendo incorporada nos estudos realizados pela Comunidade Brasileira de Informática na Educação, a partir de uma revisão sistemática de literatura das produções científicas publicadas na revista Tecnologias, Sociedade e Conhecimento e no Portal de publicações da Comissão Especial de Informática na Educação. Grande parte dos estudos preocupa-se com questões de cunho humanista, com a profundidade e extensão das relações humanas como essenciais à construção de uma pedagogia autônoma e problematizadora, com o pensar crítico do educando-educador, e com o caráter autônomo e crítico do aprendiz, entre outras questões intensamente defendidas por Freire.

This  study explores the competencies required by digital teachers to effectively leverage AI in fostering a future-ready classroom environment. It delves into competencies essential for teachers to harness the potential of AI. A descriptive analytical approach was employed to extract the required AI competency list and determine its importance. The study involved 26 teachers from the University of Technology and Applied Science in Oman. These participants were requested to complete a questionnaire designed to gather relevant data. The findings provide a comprehensive checklist of competencies necessary for seamless AI-enhanced teaching and serve as a valuable tool for training and guiding future digital teachers. The study revealed no significant differences in the perceived importance of AI competencies between teachers with less than 10 years of practical experience and those with 10 years or more of experience. This  paper concludes that continuous professional development and targeted training are essential for all teachers to develop the necessary skills for an AI-enhanced education environment. Moreover, the study emphasizes the need for educational institutions to prioritize AI competency development in teacher training. Finally, it highlights the importance of a supportive infrastructure to help teachers stay updated with rapid AI advancement in education.
УКРАЇНСЬКЕ ДУХОВЕНСТВО НА ПЕРЕЛОМІ: ВАСИЛЬ СЛОВАЧЕВСЬКИЙ ТА ФЕДІР ЯВОРСЬКИЙ (КІНЕЦЬ ХІХ — ПЕРША ТРЕТИНА ХХ СТ.)
Authors: Арістов В. , Дегтяренко М. , Яковлєва І.
Published: November 2024

Статтю присвячено порівняльному дослідженню біографій двох священників з Київщини: Василя Словачевського і Федора Яворського, міського і сільського. Вони були майже однолітками: народилися 1880 р. і 1878 р. відповідно. Обидва пішли з життя в 1938 р. під час Великого терору. З використанням довідкових та періодичних єпархіяльних видань, опублікованих матеріалів із архівів радянських спецслужб, а також сімейного архіву Алли Словачевської простежено їхні життєві траєкторії. Показано, що було спільним і притаманним для їхнього кола, що відрізняло становище кожного з них, а що було визначено суспільно-політичними трансформаціями.
ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ «ПОКРІПЛЯЮЧОЇ СТАНЦІЇ НА ЗАЛІЗНИЧНОМУ ВОКЗАЛІ У ЛЬВОВІ» (1916–1919 РР.)
Authors: Петрик Ю.
Published: November 2024

У статті досліджено соціально-політичні, економічні передумови та причини появи такої організації, як «Покріпляюча станція на Залізничному вокзалі у Львові», яка раніше мало потрапляла в поле зору дослідників. На основі архівних документів виявлено особливості її функціонування та управління нею. Організація мала чітку структуру, одночасно будучи структурним елементом у складі «Українського крайового комітету помочі для виселенців». В умовах Першої світової війни станція зуміла стати осередком допомоги евакуйованим. Разом із тим, її діяльність сприяла популяризації комітету загалом. Продемонстровано, що станція співпрацювала з управлінням залізницею та пресою. Без залізничної адміністрації було б вкрай складно налаштувати чітку роботу організації, натомість преса допомагала комунікувати із суспільством. На основі документів відомо, що лише за період із вересня 1916 р. по вересень 1917 р. організація змогла надати допомогу понад 40 тис. осіб, що свідчить про її важливе значення. Робота станції також давала змогу залучати до її лав місцеве населення. Незважаючи на низку проблем, «Покріпляючій станції на Залізничному вокзалі у Львові» вдалося досягти якісних змін у покращенні становища евакуйованих.

У статті на основі невідомих дипломатичних документів із польських архівів розкривається малознана сторінка з історії державно-територіальних змін у Підкарпатській Русі (Карпатській Україні) у середині березня 1939 р., пов’язана з планами Варшави реалізувати сценарій потрійної окупації регіону за участю Угорщини, Румунії та Польщі. З провалом планів Варшави було остаточно поховано надії польської дипломатії створити «Третю Європу», а країною, яка найбільше скористалася з підвищеної напруги між Угорщиною та Румунією, стала Німеччина.
Yetişkin Öz-Merhamet Ölçeğinin Geliştirilmesi
Authors: Nas Eşref
Published: November 2024

Alanyazın incelendiğinde, ülkemizde bireylerin öz-merhamet düzeylerini belirlemeye yarayan orijinal ve kültüre uygun bir ölçeğin bulunmadığı görülmüştür. Bu yüzden, bu araştırmada yetişkin bireylerin öz-merhamet seviyelerini belirlemek için kullanılabilecek bir ölçeğin geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın yöntem kısmında ölçek geliştirme süreci takip edilmiştir. Araştırmaya 477 yetişkin katılmıştır. Veri analizinde açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmış ve güvenirlik katsayısı incelenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda dört faktörlü ve 12 maddeden oluşan bir ölçek ortaya konulmuştur. Söz konusu ölçeğin yetişkinlerin öz-merhamet seviyelerini belirlemek için uygun bir ölçme aracı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ölçek uygulanırken alınabilecek en düşük puan 12, en yüksek puan ise 60 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca ölçekten alınan puan arttıkça öz-merhamet düzeyinin de arttığı anlamına gelmektedir.
