Published: February 2024

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early cancer detection is critical because it can significantly improve treatment outcome thus saving lives, reducing suffering, and lessening psychological and economic burdens. Cancer biomarkers provide varied information about cancer, from early detection of malignancy to decisions on treatment and subsequent monitoring. A large variety of molecular, histologic, radiographic, or physiological entities or features are amongst the common types of cancer biomarkers. Sizeable recent methodological progress and insights have promoted significant development in the field of early cancer detection biomarkers. Here we provide an overview of recent advancement in the knowledge related to biomolecules and cellular entities used for early cancer detection. We examine data from the CAS Content Collection, the largest human-curated collection of published scientiﬁc information, as well as from the biomarker datasets at Excelra, and analyze the publication landscape of recent research. We also discuss the evolution of key concepts, cancer biomarkers development pipelines, with a particular focus on pancreatic and liver cancers, known as remarkably difficult to detect early, with particularly high morbidity and mortality. The objective of the paper is to provide a broad overview of the evolving landscape of current knowledge on cancer biomarkers, to outline challenges and evaluate growth opportunities, in order to further efforts in solving the problems that remain. The merit of the article stems from the extensive, wide-ranging coverage of the most up-to-date scientific information, allowing unique, unmatched breadth of landscape analysis and in-depth insights.
Understanding the Mechanism of Triplet-Triplet Energy Transfer in the Photocatalytic [2+2] Cycloaddition: Insights from Quantum Chemical Modeling
Authors: Lee Eunji , Moon Hyejin , Park Jiyong , Baik Mu-Hyun
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the mechanism of the [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction of 3-(but-3-enyl)oxyquinolone using a chiral xanthone-containing triplet sensitizer. Quantum chemical computer models were utilized to examine the substrate-catalyst encounter complex structures, which were classified into syn- and anti-adducts. The photoactivation steps of the substrate were analyzed based on the Marcus equation of electron transfer, including intersystem crossings (ISC) and outer sphere triplet-triplet energy transfer (TTEnT). Our results show that the calculated rates of ISC are comparable for the two adducts, while the computed rates of TTEnT differ between them due to the orbital overlap between the donor and acceptor sites. After the TTEnT, a stereospecific cyclization occurs, completing the catalytic cycle. We propose a novel strategy to improve stereoselectivity by exploiting the intrinsic difference in TTEnT rates between the two encounter complex isomers.
Automated exploration of the conformational degrees of freedom along reaction profiles - driving a FASTCAR
Authors: Gayraud Oscar , Guégan Frédéric
Published: February 2024

This publication aims at presenting a Python-based workflow designed to enable a fully automatised and exhaustive exploration of the conformational degrees of freedom within the calculation of reaction paths in molecular systems. The proposed strategy focuses on effectively representing the lowest energy conformers for intricate, highly rotatable, and non-intuitive transition states, reagents and products, using existing computational tools. The article presents a workflow that is demonstrated through the application of two chemical reactions: a Diels-Alder reaction involving 4,4-dimethyl-3-methylenepent-1-ene and (E)-dec-5-ene, and an intramolecular acid-catalysed cyclization reaction of polycyclic azocane derivative, which both prove to be challenging to study "by hand". The proposed methodology is expected to be of a great help in the modelling of state-of-the art organic chemistry reactions, whose complexity is ever increasing.

Hyperpolarization techniques provide a dramatic increase in sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. In spite of the outstanding progress in solution-state hyperpolarization of spin-1/2 nuclei, hyperpolarization of quadrupolar nuclei remains challenging. Here, hyperpolarization of quadrupolar 14N nuclei with natural isotopic abundance of >99% is demonstrated. This is achieved via pairwise addition of parahydrogen to tetraalkylammonium salts with vinyl or allyl unsaturated moieties followed by a subsequent polarization transfer from 1H to 14N nuclei at high magnetic field using PH-INEPT or PH-INEPT+ radiofrequency pulse sequence. Catalyst screening identified water-soluble rhodium complex [Rh(P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3)3Cl] as the most efficient catalyst for hyperpolarization of the substrates under study, providing up to 1.3% and up to 6.6% 1H polarization in the cases of vinyl and allyl precursors, respectively. The performance of PH-INEPT and PH-INEPT+ pulse sequences was optimized with respect to interpulse delays, and the resultant experimental dependences were in good agreement with simulations. As a result, 14N NMR signal enhancement of up to 760-fold at 7.05 T (corresponding to 0.15% 14N polarization) was obtained.

Medicinal Herbs and Biodiversity Resources in Nigeria: An Ethnographic Analysis of their Governance Mechanisms and Implications for Sustainable and Economic Development
Authors: Liadi Olusegun Fariudeen , Lawal Musediq , AKINRINDE Olawale
Published: February 2024

This article examines the present systems for regulating biodiversity resource use, with a specific focus on Osun State, Nigeria. The study undertakes an exploratory research design due to the novelty of the subject matter. For data collection, qualitative research methodologies, specifically in-depth interviews (IDIs) and key informant interviews (KIIs), were purposefully adopted. Herbal medicine sellers were key participants in the in-depth interviews, while key informant interviewees included a diverse group of leaders of herb sellers' associations, traditional healthcare providers, government officials responsible for Forestry Resources Management, practicing ethnobotanists, and knowledgeable academics with expertise relevant to the subject matter. The study further unfolds a comprehensive analysis of the threats to biodiversity, delving into the underlying causes and far-reaching consequences of biodiversity depletion in Nigeria. The study's findings further shed a discerning light on the regulatory mechanisms governing biodiversity utilisation in Nigeria. Despite the existence of these mechanisms, they have struggled to realise the anticipated positive outcomes. This predicament is largely attributable to a lack of strong political will on the part of the government to ensure compliance among users of Nigeria's rich biodiversity. A critical observation is that the legal and policy frameworks that oversee biodiversity in Nigeria have not undergone periodic reviews, rendering them out of touch with current societal dynamics. Consequently, traditional medicine practitioners and vendors of medicinal herbs, among other biodiversity users, have exploited this policy vacuum to exploit plant, tree, and other biodiversity resources unabated. Of notable concern is the unregulated exploitation of plants for medicinal purposes, particularly the trade in herbs, which has emerged as a significant threat to public health and well-being. This unchecked practice undermines the prospects of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG-3), which prioritises health and well-being. In light of these findings, the study strongly advocates for a two-fold approach to address this pressing issue. First, it underscores the critical importance of fostering robust political will to enforce existing regulations and institute much-needed reforms. Secondly, constant monitoring and oversight of medicinal herb utilisation and other biodiversity resources in Nigeria by government agencies are deemed imperative to safeguard the nation's natural wealth and the health of its citizens.

Isolation and antibacterial screening of actinomycetes with antibacterial properties from medicinal soil
Authors: Iswarya M.
Published: February 2024

Research on Actinomycetes has proven highly beneficial to society, particularly in the development of product-oriented solutions for disease cures through the utilization of their compounds, commonly known as drugs. This study focused on screening and identifying actinomycete strains derived from the root nodules of Cissus quadrangularis and Alpinia officinarum cultivated in Chennai. The research began with serial dilution and enumeration of soil samples, followed by screening and isolation procedures aimed at discovering novel species. The study yielded 13 Actinomycete strains identified based on Gram staining, colony morphology, and biochemical tests, all of which exhibited Gram-positive characteristics with varying colony morphologies and biochemical profiles. Primary screening determined antibacterial isolates and identified the range of microorganisms sensitive to the antibiotics. A secondary screening was conducted to validate the results. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed to determine the sensitivity of microorganisms to potential antibiotics. The qualitative method determined the range of sensitive microorganisms, while the quantitative approach provided insights into the expected antibiotic yield when the organisms were cultured in ISP2 broth. All experimental measurements were conducted in triplicate, and the results were expressed as averages of three analyses. Among the isolates, I5, MS1005F, and MS1005E demonstrated high activity, while MS100E exhibited relatively lower activity against pathogenic bacterial strains. Notably, isolate I5 displayed the highest activity against MS1005F.
Early detection and effective treatment of milk fever in high-yield dairy cows
Authors: Pankaj Kumar
Published: February 2024

Production diseases arise from management practices, leading to metabolic imbalances in high-yielding dairy cows. Milk fever, or parturient paresis, is a significant production ailment occurring during the periparturient phase. The heightened milk production during this period places an increased demand on calcium, often resulting in milk fever (hypocalcemia) characterized by abnormally low blood calcium levels. Clinical manifestations of milk fever include reduced appetite, tetanus, low body temperature, paresis, lateral recumbency, and, if untreated, progression to coma and death. Although sporadic, the incidence of milk fever can be high among susceptible cows on individual farms, particularly those with high milk production. Various factors contribute to increased milk fever incidence, including parturition, lactation initiation, advanced age, breed, and diet. Intravenous treatment with calcium borogluconate is the standard approach for parturient paresis. Early and proper treatment results in an excellent prognosis for affected cows. Economic losses due to milk fever encompass deaths, premature culling, treatment expenses, and reduced milk production in subsequent lactations. Consequently, effective milk fever management is crucial not only for mitigating production losses but also for preserving the well-being of the animals.
Comunicação, Democracia e Direitos Humanos: reflexões sobre suas origens comuns e implicações na contemporaneidade
Authors: Pereira Pedro Barreto
Published: February 2024

Este artigo pretende discutir as origens comuns entre Comunicação, Democracia e Direitos Humanos na perspectiva ocidental e como elas apresentam consequências na compreensão contemporânea desses termos. Serão analisados os termos a partir da perspectiva crítica, legada pela Escola de Frankfurt, em sua aplicação nas áreas da Comunicação – em particular, o Jornalismo – e dos Direitos Humanos. A hipótese é de que a origem liberal, universalizante e jusnaturalista dos direitos humanos cria não apenas a categoria do humano, mas também do não-humano, do cidadão e do não-cidadão. Essa dicotomia entre aqueles que são dignos e os que não são dignos de direitos define o que se entende na contemporaneidade sobre a Democracia e tem implicações ainda sobre a compreensão da Comunicação, como um direito fundamental.

Authors: Kriem Alzubeidi Mohammad Ali , Alnsur Belal Hashim Humdallah
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The study aims to clarify the challenges and obstacles (C&O) of implementing Quality and Development (Q&D) programs at Jordanian business institutions. Quality programs are the major driver of today’s business environment to accomplish business goals. The Q&D programs affect customers, organizations, and society at large.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study reviewed the literature in order to explain the concepts of quality, organization development and the relation between the two concepts. In addition, the study surveyed previous research for challenges and obstacles that hindered the implementation of quality and organization development programs.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The researchers used a descriptive statistical analysis to analyze the randomly collected data from a sample of various businesses in Amman Governance Area. A survey was prepared, tested and distributed to collect needed data. A total of 1275 surveys were used to solve the study problem regarding the influence of C&O on implementing Q&D at Jordanian business companies. The study uses the frequency statistics to analyze the collected data.
 
Findings: The analysis of the study found that the success of implementing quality programs depends heavily on recognizing the C&O that will hinder the implantation in order to overcome such difficulties. The study showed that the absence of motivation, commitment, concentration, communication, resources, information, and executive support are the major C&O hindering the success of implementing quality programs. Meanwhile, the study showed that companies who attained or seeking quality certification are in a better position to overcome the difficulties of implementing quality programs. Employees also play a major role in overcoming such difficulties depending on the training and development provided by their institutions.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: The study emphasized that quality programs are essential to the success of businesses in satisfying their customers, improving labor abilities and skills, increase their market share, and eventually increase profits. The study also emphasized the importance of leadership role in adapting, practicing and supporting quality programs in business institutions in order for such programs to succeed.

SYMPOSIUM: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Introduction: Technological Change and the Labour Process
Authors: Smith David
Published: February 2024

Lying at the very heart of industrial relations, the impact of technological change began to receive widespread attention in New Zealand about 1979. The debate grew out of overseas experience with micro-electronics (particularly in Britain, West Germany, France and Australia) in the context of the anticipated widespread application of similar technology to New Zealand. Although among industrial relations practitioners the impact of new technology maintained a high profile during 1979-80 (see for example Young (Ed.), 1980), it was soon overshadowed by other more immediate and pressing industrial relations matters, such as the reform of the wage fixing system , voluntary unionism and the price and wage freeze. Though only of relatively brief duration, the debate was intense and marked by the deterministic attitude on the one hand that technological change was both inevitable and beneficial, and on the other, that the changes could and should be controlled because the "benefits" might by no means be shared evenly among the participants. Government and employer groups typified the former view, and trade unions the latter.
Death By A Thousand Cuts: Gender Microaggressions and Gendered Violence in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors:   , Beaumont Sophie
Published: February 2024

Gendered violence is a prevalent social issue in New Zealand. Feminist scholars have long argued that patriarchy, a socially constructed hierarchal system of oppression that positions men above women (in its most basic form), is the root cause of gendered violence (Brownmiller, 1975; Gavey, 2019a; Hunnicutt, 2009; Jordan, 2004, 2022a; Kelly, 1988; Vera-Gray, 2016). Patriarchy has been subject to challenge and resistance but this system, and the violence inherent within it, persists. My research centres women’s experiences of gender microaggressions: subtle verbal, behavioural, or environmental actions that reinforce sexism (Capodilupo et al., 2010; Sue, 2010a; Sue & Spanierman, 2020). I argue that this subtle form of gendered harm needs to be understood within a broader framework of violence and patriarchy. Guided by the ideas of critical criminology and feminist scholarship, I use a mixed methodological approach to examine women’s experiences of gender microaggressions. For the first stage of the project, I conducted an online survey that 790 women completed – I redesigned a pre-existing quantitative measure of gender microaggressions, adding qualitative reflection sections to uphold the principles of feminist consciousness-raising. For the second stage, I conducted 26 one-on-one semi-structured interviews with women to talk more in-depth about their experiences of gender microaggressions and their impact, both personally and on New Zealand society more broadly. Findings suggest that gender microaggressions are a common experience for women across New Zealand. Microaggressions typically manifest in ways that make women feel objectified, underestimated, belittled, and silenced. In alignment with current literature, data suggests that microaggressive harm is cumulative. Women discussed feeling pressured and restricted by binary gender expectations describing gender microaggressions as a tool used to “put [women] in their place”. In addition, gender microaggressions were understood by women as existing within a broader spectrum or structure of violence. Microaggressions were perceived as threats to safety and are implicated in the gendered nature of risk and responsibility in society. The social acceptability of subtle gendered violence such as gender microaggressions has far reaching implications for our understanding of and resistance to patriarchal dominance.

Authors: Gharata Verza Dillano , Satria Widi Dwi , Hidayat Rahmad , Calista Jinan Diva , Bastari Anisah Shafiyyah Muchlas
Published: February 2024

Auditorium pada umumnya digunakan untuk mengadakan pertemuan, pertunjukan, dan kegiatan lainnya dengan jumlah tertentu. Salah satu faktor yang menunjang kenyamanan sebuah auditorium adalah bunyi (akustik). Pada ruang Auditorium Gedung Kuliah Umum 1 Institut Teknologi Sumatera (GKU 1 ITERA) akan dilakukan studi kasus untuk melihat kualitas suara yang ada di auditorium ini. Dalam kenyamanan suara pada sebuah auditorium, tentunya terdapat beberapa elemen yang harus diperhatikan seperti material yang dipilih serta mebel yang ada pada auditorium. Selain itu, tinggi dan panjang bangunan akan mempengaruhi kualitas akustik suatu ruangan dikarenakan persebaran suaranya harus merata. Hal tersebut juga dapat dipertimbangkan untuk peletakan posisi pengeras suara pada ruangan. Data penelitian diambil menggunakan metode pengamatan langsung. Pengamatan tersebut meliputi jenis material yang digunakan, pengukuran dimensi dan jarak menggunakan laser meter,  elemen arsitektur di dalamnya isinya melingkupi elemen dinding, lantai, plafon, jendela, dan furnitur. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan untuk meningkatkan kualitas suara pada auditorium, antara lain jumlah pengeras suara untuk peningkatan intensitas suara, penambahan bahan peredam agar tidak ada gema yang berlebihan, penempatan mebel yang harus dikoordinasikan lebih awal kepada pihak stakeholder yang terkait, dan juga perlu dilakukan simulasi akustik sehingga diperoleh waktu dengung yang sesuai standar untuk fungsi auditorium.
A medicolegal perspective on the issue of cyberbullying in Turkey: A retrospective descriptive study on medical specialization theses
Authors: Akgül Kalkan Esin , Tuzci Eren , Can Burak
Published: February 2024

In recent years, the issue of cyberbullying has attracted the attention of researchers from many different fields as well as medical professionals. The aim of this study is to discuss the descriptive variables of medical specialty theses written on cyberbullying in Turkey in terms of forensic medicine. In this study, using the keywords "cyberbullying" and "cyber violence", theses registered in the Thesis Documentation Center of the Council of Higher Education were scanned. As a result of the screening, among 179 theses, 15 medical specialty theses related to the subject were examined within the scope of the study. The distribution of the 15 theses examined according to specialty areas was n:7 (46.6%) psychiatry, n:4 (26.6%) family medicine, n:1 (6.6%) forensic medicine, n:1 (6.6%) child and adolescent mental health and diseases, n:2 (13.3%) pediatrics. The peak in the writing of specialty theses was in 2019 (n:4). The population of the theses consisted of individuals aged 12-18 years in n:10 (66.6%) and 10-18 years in n:3 (20.0%) and university students in n:2 (13.3%), respectively. It was determined that questionnaires were used as the instrument and method in all of the theses analyzed. Most of the theses analyzed were conducted on adolescents between the ages of 12-18. There were no thesis studies among adults without or not a university degree. In future studies, these populations should also be examined. Due to its effects on people, it was thought that there may be an increase in the number of patients exposed to cyberbullying in the fields of psychiatry and forensic medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to increase medical awareness and conduct more studies on the cyberbullying issue.
A field study on cyber stalking among university students
Authors: Aslan Mahi , Saddiki Hatice
Published: February 2024

Internet and technology devices not only connected people around the world but also opened new ways of cybercrime including cyberstalking. Ease in accessibility of social media brought criminals to the online world and facilitated the opportunities to do crimes in the cyber world. As the internet and social media are becoming inseparable parts of human life, it is important to make these environments safe for everyone, especially youth who are driven by social media the most. Understanding the prevalence of cyberstalking will help in finding ways to combat it and also to make a safer cyber environment.
Aim: The study aims to examine the prevalence level of cyberstalking in university students between the ages of 18-30. This study will also assess the difference of cyber stalking prevalence between men and women.
Materials and Methods: A preliminary investigation was made on the prevalence level of cyber stalking in university students between the age of 18-30. Cyber ​​Obsessive Stalking Scale (Siber Obsesif Takip Ölçeği (SOTÖ)) was used to examine the stalking behaviours that people are exposed to while using electrical devices. While examining research participants, their age, gender, their anxiety about cyberstalking and if they had experienced cyberstalking or seen this behaviour in people around them were taken into account.
Conclusion: Developing technology has caused criminals to move to the online world.  The severity of the situation will be brought to light by revealing the prevalence of victimization through studies. The prevalence level can direct researchers and technology developers to create safer online environments.
Earthquake, social disorder, violence
Authors: Demir Selmin Cansu , Ildırım Ezgi , Öztürkcan Yasemen
Published: February 2024

Natural disasters appear as unexpected, traumatic events that break the normal flow of life; these events cause changes in the social structure in the region.  There are two alternatives for this change. The first alternative is social unity, the other is social disorder. The purpose of the study is to explain the violent events that occurred after the earthquake in Kahramanmaraş on the 6th of February 2023, through the theory of social disorder. The literature on relevant subjects will be searched and the violent events displayed in the media will be explained in the context of social disorder theory in this study. The increased rates of violence and crime in the long-term period after disasters have been detected by the researchers and this situation has been explained with the theory of social disorder. The social disorder theory emphasizes that the increased stress burden causes an increase in domestic violence. The longitudinal studies that have been carried out on crime rates after the disaster determine that with the help of cooperation and social cooperation, there is a decrease in the crimes against property and violence and an increase in the cases of domestic violence. The disappearance of unaccompanied minors, child abuse, rapine, violence against women, and hate crimes against refugees are some of the criminal behaviors that are reflected in the media in the acute period and evaluated within the scope of this study. The Decrease of control due to social disorder and the absence of officials to provide security in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake explain that criminal behavior may occur in the acute period. The systematic, rapid, and effective implementation of the actions planned to prevent social disorder after natural disasters may be beneficial in preventing crime and violence in regions damaged by natural disasters.
Cyber obsessive obsession: A study in nurses department
Authors: Demir Fatih
Published: February 2024

Cyber obsessive stalking is a form of cyber violence that comprises a variety of unfavorable behavior patterns and is thought to be an extension of classic persistent stalking in online settings. Research shows that healthcare professionals are vulnerable to cyber-obsessive harassment due to the negative perception that patients are not satisfied with the service they receive and that their treatment processes are inadequately managed. The purpose of this study is to identify the experiences public and private sector nurses have had with cyber-obsessive stalking.
In this cross-sectional study, 165 nurses who work in both the public and commercial sectors make up the study group. Data collecting techniques were the Personal Information Form and the Cyber Obsessive Stalking Scale. The scale, which asks how often cyber-obsessive stalking behaviors have been encountered, has 15 items and includes excessive closeness, threat, and transference components. A statistical package application was used to examine the data that were gathered online.
According to the data of the analysis, 72.7% of the participants had at least one experience with cyber obsessive stalker behavior. While exposure to influence-oriented messages was the most frequent conduct, with a rate of 61.2%, exposure to auto, home, and office listening behavior was the least common cyber obsessive stalking behavior. The extreme closeness component of the scale had the highest mean score, while transference was the most prevalent activity.
Healthcare professionals face risks such as patient dissatisfaction with the care they receive, societal perceptions of poorly managed treatment processes, and, in some cases, the possibility of patients engaging in cyber-obsessive tracking for emotional and/or sexual reasons. The results of this study show that cyber obsessive stalking behaviors are observed among the nurses participating in the study.
Examination of the relationship between peer bullying and cyber violence in university students
Authors: Masatcıoğlu Gözde , Öksüz Yunus Emre
Published: February 2024

Peer bullying, encountered by individuals globally at an early age, necessitates a deep understanding of its underlying causes and associated elements for effective intervention strategies. The integration of digital technologies as tools has introduced the dimension of cyber violence to the discourse on peer bullying. This research aims to explore the relationship between peer bullying and cyber violence in a specific age group. Globally, 10-15% of children and adolescents experience peer bullying lasting over six months. Recognized as a global health issue by the World Health Organization and the United Nations, research indicates varying risks of exposure in different countries, such as 30% in Australia, 20% in Portugal, and 10% in the United States. The study investigates the connection between the violent behaviors adopted by individuals who have experienced peer bullying and their efforts to overcome the associated sense of worthlessness. Data were collected through an online survey utilizing the "Cyberbullying Scale" by Arıcak et al. and the Turkish-adapted "Adolescent Peer Relationships" scale by Seçer. The sample comprises 260 university students aged 18-24. Findings reveal that 53.8% of participants scoring high on the cyberbullying scale also exhibit elevated scores on the bully form of the adolescent peer relationships scale. Notably, 10% of those scoring highest on the bully form relate to participants who scored high on the threat dimension.

Cyber bullying and victims among adolescents depending on perceived parental attitudes
Authors: Karayazı Hilal
Published: February 2024

Being a cyberbully and being a cyber victim is a common problem that negatively affects the lives and psychological well-being of children and young people. This situation arises with the increase in internet usage. Being a cyber bully and being a cyber victim negatively affects the psychosocial development of children and adolescents. Family environment, parental behavioral attitudes and various factors play an important role in adolescents' involvement in cyber aggression and cyber victimization.
Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationships between perceived parental attitudes (democratic, authoritarian, protective and permissive) and cyber bullying (cyber aggression-victimization) in adolescents. These relationships were investigated by taking into account demographic variables such as gender, age, grade level, and own internet usage time.
Materials and Methods: The sample of the research consists of 125 high school students between the ages of 14-18 studying at a private high school in Istanbul. Data were collected from students in the classroom using the survey method. As a data collection tool in the research; Personal Information Form, Parental Attitudes Scale and Cyberbullying Scale were used. IBM SPSS Statistic Base 25.0 was used to analyze the data collected in the study. The following analyses, respectively; descriptive, reliability, normality and Pearson Correlation were performed.
Conclusion: According to the findings of the research, it was determined that there was a positive and moderate relationship between the characteristics of parents having a permissive attitude (r: 0.365 p: 0.000) and having an authoritarian attitude and the students' exposure to cyber bullying (r: 0.334 p: 0.000). However, it was determined that there was a negative and moderate relationship (r: -0.552 p: 0.000) between parents' democratic attitudes and students' exposure to cyberbullying.
Results: According to the results of the research, students' exposure to cyberbullying behavior will increase when they are faced with authoritarian and permissive parental attitudes, and the exposure to cyberbullying behavior will decrease in children of parents whose internet usage time is controlled and who have democratic attitudes.

Г.Э. ЛЕССИНГ КАК ФИЛОСОФСКИЙ ТЕОЛОГ

The article concerns philosophical and theological views of G.E. Lessing. It was in the German Enlightenment that what today we call philosophical theology was born and began to actively develop. This concept was formulated in its expressed form by Kant. He also owns a brief but profound description of the essence of philosophical theology and its functions, as well as main features distinguishing it from biblical theology. Kant draws attention here to the freedom as an essential characteristic of a philosophical theologian, but also emphasizes that the results of philosophical research should be offered to biblical theologians as recommendations, but not as imposed truths. Likewise, biblical theology must give philosophical theology freedom of consideration, but must itself stand guard over the salvation of the souls of its entrusted flock. Within the framework of the philosophy of I. Kant, such an approach is based on the division he proposes between the private and public use of reason. However, we see that Kant for that matter is rooted in the philosophical and theological tradition that preceded him. No less a philosophical theologian can be considered G.E. Lessing. Despite the fact that Lessing himself herein does not use the concept directly, his position on issues of religion and faith and their philosophical understanding on that completely coincides with Kant’s. It can be seen especially clearly in the dispute that took place between him and Goeze in the framework of one of the most interesting and lively discussions of the German Enlightenment, namely the Fragmentenstreit. The article considers in detail the key stages of development of the discussion, as well as the positions of the parties. As a result, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that the discussion position defended by Lessing can be characterized as philosophical theology
TRANSFORMATION OF THE NATURAL MOTIF AS A METHOD OF SHAPING THE ORNAMENT OF THE DOWN SHAWL OF THE ORENBURG REGION
Authors:   Orenburg State University, Vasilchenko Alla A.
Published: February 2024

The article considers the natural motif as the artistic basis of the ornamental composition and its transformation as a method of shaping the elements of the ornament of the Orenburg down shawl. It analyzes the main directions of transformation of the natural motif adopted in the form-making of down knitting: the semantic concept of form; stylization and geometrization of form, experiments with material (goat down). It is clarified that the transformation of the natural motif in accordance with the artistic and technological foundations of the down knitting tradition is a condition for its development; the inclusion in the ornament of elements created according to other shaping principles leads to deformation of the figurative and technological system of the handicraft. The process of transformation of the visual and semantic image of a natural motif into a decorative and ornamental image is analyzed
