Relación entre el Ciclo de Caja de Efectivo y la Rentabilidad en las grandes empresas del sector comercio en Colombia
Authors: Gómez-Chaves Miguel Ángel , Benavides-Chamorro Karla Giovanna , López-Díaz Víctor Hugo
Published: July 2024

Una de las principales problemáticas que presentan las grandes empresas del sector comercio en Colombia, es el limitado flujo de efectivo para cumplir con las obligaciones de corto plazo, condicionando así su permanencia en el mercado, debido a la ineficiente administración del capital de trabajo. El presente documento tiene como objetivo relacionar el Ciclo de Caja de Efectivo y la rentabilidad de las grandes empresas del sector comercio en Colombia  entre los años 2016 – 2022. Para lograrlo, se plantea la investigación desde el paradigma cuantitativo, debido a que se busca medir variables como, el ciclo de caja de efectivo, rotación de inventario, rotación de cartera, rotación de proveedores, rentabilidad del activo, rentabilidad del patrimonio, entre otros; con enfoque empírico-analítico, porque parte de la realidad objetiva plasmada en la información de los estados financieros. El método utilizado es  deductivo con un tipo de investigación relacional. Se toma como población objeto de estudio los estados financieros que proporcionaron las grandes empresas del sector comercio en Colombia ante la Superintendencia de Sociedades durante los años 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 y 2022, los cuales ascendieron a una cantidad de 666, 664, 657, 698, 653, 729 y 759 respectivamente. Como resultado significativo se obtiene que el Ciclo de Caja de Efectivo disminuye favorablemente, dado que pasa de 41 días en el año 2016 a 35 días en el año 2022, situación que generada por el decrecimiento de la rotación de cartera, la cual pasa de 65 días a 56 días. Además, se evidencia que las grandes empresas en Colombia del sector comercio obtienen una disminución en el Ciclo de Caja de Efectivo; mientras que, hay un incremento en la rentabilidad del activo y en la Rentabilidad del patrimonio.

Authors: García-Peñaloza John Edisson , Rojas-Hermida Carlos Julio , Varón-Medina Laura Sofía
Published: July 2024

El Municipio de Neiva ejerce como capital del departamento del Huila y durante las últimas décadas ha presentado un dinamismo socioeconómico que le ha permitido ganar relevancia a nivel nacional. La realidad del municipio exige nuevas formas de interpretación de su territorio por lo que son varias las iniciativas que se ha intentado desarrollar, si bien varias no se han llevado a la práctica. En consecuencia, se condujo una investigación encaminada conocer la viabilidad de construir el área metropolitana bambuquera de Neiva. El estudio se sustentó en un enfoque mixto de investigación, basado en una estrategia concurrente y la triangulación cruzada, mediante el análisis de frecuencias y de contenido. Los principales hallazgos indican que el fracaso de iniciativas pasado ha ocurrido por falta de una adecuada exploración de la pertinencia o porque solo fueron establecidas como discursos políticos de campaña electoral.
Además, se establecieron los requerimientos y los posibles municipios que se integrarían a la ciudad de Neiva, se realizó un abordaje a los diferentes actores de la zona a integrar para evaluar representaciones que han construido sobre la problemática y se diagnosticó si se cuenta con sus apoyos para cumplir cada uno de los requerimientos establecidos en el marco normativo. Se plantean recomendaciones que en la práctica facilitarían la planificación y mejor funcionamiento el área metropolitana.

A influência de autocitações em decisões editoriais baseado na simulação de rankings de periódicos
Authors: Correia Luiz Gabriel , Pascual Mena-Chalco Jesús
Published: July 2024

The manipulation of the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) through editorial decisions that increase self-citations has been empirically observed in recent studies, sparking discussions on how to avoid such practices. This study aims to verify whether a policy of removing self-citations from the JIF calculation is enough to eliminate incentives for manipulation. We introduce an agent-based model of the academic social network formed by journals to test this hypothesis. We model journals as rational agents seeking to gain positions in the JIF ranking. The model was implemented in NetLogo and calibrated using data from the SCIMago Journal Ranking. Simulation results demonstrate that the model is capable of reproducing patterns observed in empirical networks and that the removal of self-citations can significantly reduce the adoption of manipulation strategies (e.g., reduction from 90% to 30%). This study contributes to understanding the role of self-citations in the JIF and provides tools for developing policies that promote scientific integrity.
Wàsi, ver y circular la imagen en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
Authors: Gómez-Ruiz Sebastián
Published: July 2024

El estudio de las imágenes permite acercarse a unos "modos de ver" que hacen referencia a ámbitos temporales de la sensibilidad y la percepción. La representación de los pueblos indígenas en el cine, la fotografía y los medios de comunicación sitúa una mirada que se ha establecido desde la Iglesia, el Estado, las multinacionales, los documentalistas y el turismo. La autorrepresentación indígena ha implicado la aparición de lo que algunos autores han denominado resistencia simbólica, activismo cultural y soberanía visual. Este libro es una etnografía de las imágenes que rastrea su uso, producción, circulación y significación entre el pueblo arhuaco. Se argumenta que los colectivos indígenas de comunicaciones de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta están configurando unas transformaciones en la etnicidad de la Colombia contemporánea vinculadas con la producción de imágenes, en el contexto del multiculturalismo y el cosmopolitismo, con lo cual extienden su pensamiento y amplían espacialmente su experiencia política.

MARKETING MEASURES TO RESTORE WINEMAKING IN UKRAINE
Authors: Zalyubinska L. M.
Published: July 2024

The paper examines problematic aspects of the strategic development of winemaking in Ukraine in the context of implementing the experience of leading companies in the world regarding the use of brands as indicators of the value of intangible assets. A comparative analysis of well-known value ratings of wine brands in the world and in Ukraine was conducted. The inefficiency of the national innovation policy and policy in the field of branding is substantiated.
It is difficult to imagine the modern market without a complex of marketing communications, sales promotion systems, product advertising and other related services. But each industry needs specific marketing approaches for product promotion, which take into account the legislative and regional features of its implementation. The main aspects of this process were considered on the example of the promotion of wine production, which was grown in the Odesa region, and its implementation has certain limitations.
The role of branded capital in the post-war recovery of Ukraine's economy is analyzed. The proposed measures are aimed at increasing the brand capital of such a brand as Shabo, for its successful management. Among the considered measures: the development of wine or wine tourism, which should positively affect the development of winemaking, the culture of wine consumption, and the economic development of not only the region, but also the country as a whole.
Without state support at the legislative level, a breakthrough in the economic growth of winemaking should not be expected. The work considers the most relevant legislative initiatives that would contribute to this process.

The presented article presents the  results of the conducted theoretical  and experimental research, considers  current issues, and analyzes the legal  aspects of the complex planning of the  spatial development of the territories  of territorial communities.Comprehensive spatial planning of the territories of territorial communities must be considered as a set of actions regarding the determination of areas for resettlement, places of  employment, recreation and  rehabilitation of the population,  engineering and transport  infrastructure through the  development and further approval of documentation on spatial planning and compliance with its decisions in the  long term. The comprehensive plan for the spatial development of the territory of the territorial community, which is both documentation with land  management and urban planning  documentation at the local level, is  basically aimed at solving urban  planning needs, but it only partially  solves the issue of spatial  development of land use.Spatial planning of community  territories lays a solid foundation for  the integration of urban planning and  land management design solutions  and at the same time creates  challenges related to the need to  create conditions for the relationship between management objects in both branches, information system  structures, scope of works, integration  of documentation.One of the most important strategic  directions of integrated spatial  planning of the territories of territorial communities is the development of  ecologically safe, rational land use, as well as the introduction of functional territories of land use development,  the formation of land use resistance to excessive anthropogenic influence during the implementation of  agricultural activities aimed at  greening and capitalization of land use, regulation of boundaries between  urban and rural areas. 
According to the results of the  research, a method of creating a model of the actual use of the land of the  conditional territorial community of the comprehensive spatial development plan of the territory of the territorial community is proposed.
WAYS OF INCREASING THE RELIABILITY OF CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION IN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION IN CONDITIONS OF WAR
Authors: Berestov Igor , Kirichenko Oleksandr , Rakivnenko Valeriya , Kolisnyk Alina , Sveduk Roman
Published: July 2024

The article proposes an improved automated technology for transporting goods by rail in international traffic, taking into account the likelihood of delays in ship departure from the  seaport, resulting in additional costs in the form of penalty sanctions. It is  known that the majority of goods  arriving at seaports for further  transportation are in containers. Therefore, in this work we consider and improve the part of the intermodal  transportation route associated with raand seaports. To achieve this, it is necessary to adopt  a systematic approach, which will allow describing all events occurring during the organization of such a complex process within one probabilistic framework and also consider the operation of each type of transport, especially in conditions of war where such probabilistic events become increasingly prevalent.In this research, the objective function of the intermodal transportation system is formed when interacting with railway stations and ports as the total specific costs of container  transportation, taking into account the throughput capacity of the  transportation infrastructure and considering the probability of the risk of delayed ship departure due to the arrival delay of the necessary batch of  containers.Implementing this technology in automated workplaces of operational personnel will reduce the impact of the «human factor» on decision-making during the organization of rail  transportation and enable quick response in an emergency, thereby enhancing the reliability of transportation and the probability of their execution within the planned time frame, especially in wartime conditions.The implementation of this model has shown that the cost of transporting one container to the port by container train from the terminal will reduce specific expenses by approximately 3 % compared to the existing technology. The optimal accumulation time for containers at terminal stations will be  5 and 5.6 hours respectively.
SYNTHESIS OF NARMA-L2 NEURAL CONTROLLER FOR TRACTION INDUCTION ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM
Authors: Panchenko Vladyslav , Turenko Oleksandr
Published: July 2024

In today's world, where technology is developing rapidly, electric drive systems play a key role in a huge range of applications:  from industrial production lines to vehicles and household appliances. These systems require high efficiency, accuracy and  reliability. It is here that there is a need to improve and optimize the processes of controlling electric drives.In recent decades, neural network controllers, or neuroregulators, have won their place in the world of automatic control. Their  unique ability to model complex nonlinear dependencies makes them an ideal tool for applications in electric drive systems.  Neuro-regulators can adapt to changing operating conditions, learn from data and optimize the control process depending on  specific requirements and conditions.This work is devoted to the possibility of using a neuroregulator in the traction asynchronous electric drive system. In the  Matlab/Simulink environment, a simulation model of the AD914-U traction asynchronous electric motor vector control system  described in the d,q rotating coordinate system was developed. The synthesis of the NARMA-L2 neuroregulator was performed,  which combines the principles of the autoregressive model and the moving average model to provide prediction and control of  complex processes. The main idea of this controller is to build a nonlinear transformation of input data that can predict the  future states of the system. To demonstrate the capabilities of neuroregulators in traction electric motor control systems,  comparative modeling of the NARMA-L2 neuroregulator and the classical proportional-integral regulator was conducted.The results of simulation modeling show that the system with a neuro-regulator shows the best indicators of regulation of the  given parameters in transient processes and is a promising tool in the development of high-performance and energy-efficient  traction electric drives.
RESEARCH OF THE NOISE LOAD OF VEHICLES
Authors: Khitrov Ihor
Published: July 2024

Noise can be viewed as an undesirable component of a signal that can affect the quality of perception or transmission of  information in a system. In different contexts, the term «noise» may have different meanings, but a common feature is the  random impulsive nature of this phenomenon.   Automotive noise is sound energy generated by the movement of a vehicle and its components. The study of road traffic  noise is an important area, especially in environments where noise can have a significant impact. This includes analyzing noise  levels, identifying noise sources, assessing its impact on the environment, and developing strategies to reduce noise.    This study analyzes the causes of automobile noise and their noise sources, and provides classification features. The research  methodology included measuring the noise level at different points of the bus interior using a specialized acoustic sound level meter Testo 816. The Sound Meter program was additionally used to obtain current time values of noise level changes with  graphical data interpretation. When the bus is idling, a monotonous noise load level in the range of 58-63 dB is observed in the cabin, which is typical for a  running diesel engine, which is the main source of noise. The movement of the bus in urban conditions is accompanied by a  change in traffic conditions, which in turn increases the maximum noise load to 73 dB. The movement of the bus in the city is  accompanied by an increase in the noise load up to 74 dB and the equivalent up to 67 dB. This is due to an increase in speed,  contact of tires with the asphalt road, interaction of the air environment with bus elements, the appearance of vibrations and  other noises.Although the noise load in the bus interior is within the upper permissible limits, it requires the introduction of noise reduction  measures, especially for long-distance buses for a comfortable ride for passengers. 
Therefore, it is important to take noise levels into account when designing and operating vehicles, as well as when planning urban infrastructure projects.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE OPTIMUM TECHNOLOGY FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF GRAIN LOADS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE EXISTING TRENDS OF THE INDUSTRY
Authors: Arsenenko Danylo , Lomotko Denis , Kovalova Oksana
Published: July 2024

An algorithm and management procedure for the distribution of grain cargoes at port stations have been developed. A list of  necessary conditions has been created under which the introduction of graded routes eliminates the problem of direct  distribution of cargo by unloading points in the port infrastructure. The proposed technology for the distribution of bulk cargo  allows to attract a larger number of participants in the transportation process and create conditions for the attraction of other  accompanying cargo.The above problems of railway transport, a significant reduction in the volume of transportation against the background of the  existence of a fairly wide network of railways form a trend for route shipments, the vast majority of which, in turn, go to the  port.The introduction of staged loads as a compromise in the conditions of the trends acquired by the industry requires the creation  of the necessary conditions along the entire route of the cargo.Market conditions as the main driver of the transportation process require a proactive response to variability. It is this approach  with the use of transitional phases in the view of port stations that gives the technology such qualities that it becomes  especially relevant when the operator of port stations becomes effective.Areas of concentration of freight work, potential infrastructure facilities and port stations, where the formation of groups of  wagons for unloading at the ports will take place, were determined by systematizing the collected information and identifying  patterns that can be introduced taking into account the existing system of restrictions.Looking directly at the composition of the transport sector for the above-mentioned period, it turns out that the share of cargo  processed in Ukrainian ports is 159 million tons. For comparison, in the same period, rail transport was 314.3 million tons, road  222.6 million tons.
The above problems of railway transport, a significant reduction in the volume of transportation against the background of the  existence of a fairly wide network of railways form a trend for route shipments, the vast majority of which, in turn, go to the  port. Analyzing the above in the existing conditions, it is the ports that should set the vector for both the formation of sending  and step routes based on the principles of resource conservation.
Rośliny z rodziny Amaryllidaceae w rzymskiej weterynarii. Część 2: Czosnek (Allium sativum L.)
Authors: Bartnik Agnieszka
Published: July 2024

Czosnek, roślina z rodziny amarylkowatych, był w starożytności popularną rośliną uprawną. Antyczni traktowali go zarówno jako pożywienie, jak i lek. Jego właściwości oraz zastosowanie opisywali autorzy prac encyklopedycznych, medycznych, weterynaryjnych oraz tekstów kucharskich. Warzywo było popularnym dodatkiem do wielu potraw i leków przeznaczonych dla ludzi oraz zwierząt. Sposoby wykorzystania czosnku przez weterynarzy i medyków charakteryzują się dużą zbieżnością. Przy pomocy czosnku leczono m.in. kaszel, gorączkę, bóle głowy, choroby śledziony czy świerzb. Co istotne, współczesne badania potwierdziły wiele właściwości, które tej roślinie przypisywali już starożytni Rzymianie. Różnica pojawiła się przy dietetycznym zastosowaniu warzywa, bardzo popularnego w kuchni śródziemnomorskiej, ale niewykorzystywanego w żywieniu zwierząt.
Polacy wobec Zagłady Przypadek profesor Heleny Brodowskiej-Kubicz – relacje równoległe
Authors: Kolbuszewska Jolanta
Published: July 2024

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja zasług, jakie w ratowaniu ludności pochodzenia żydowskiego podczas II wojny światowej miała późniejsza profesor Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, badaczka dziejów wsi polskiej – Helena Brodowska-Kubicz. Urodzona na podlubelskiej wsi i działająca od lat trzydziestych XX w. w ruchu ludowym, po napaści Niemiec na Polskę włączyła się w aktywność konspiracyjną. Została żołnierzem Batalionów Chłopskich i weszła w skład Komendy Głównej jako szefowa łączności. Chroniła Żydów, dostarczając im fałszywe dokumenty, znajdując zakwaterowanie i zatrudnienie, wysyłając na wieś do rodzin chłopskich. Większość z nich dzięki jej pomocy przeżyła wojnę. Za tę działalność w 1991 r. Brodowska-Kubicz została uhonorowana medalem Sprawiedliwy wśród Narodów Świata. W artykule wykorzystuję fragmenty wspomnień (listów, świadectw) ocalałych dzięki niej osób. Oddaję również głos bohaterce, opisującej kulisy niesionej pomocy. Moim celem jest przywrócenie pamięci o zasługach Brodowskiej-Kubicz, długo przemilczanych ze względu na politykę historyczną prowadzoną przez władze Polski Ludowej.
Relacje polsko-austriackie u schyłku zimnej wojny w świetle polskich źródeł dyplomatycznych
Authors: Kisztelińska-Węgrzyńska Agnieszka
Published: July 2024

Przyjęte metody badań historycznych miały za zadanie odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy państwa wschodnie sąsiadujące z Austrią, ograniczone swym systemem gospodarczym i politycznym, mogły liczyć na pomoc w zakresie inicjowania reform politycznych. Dysproporcje pomiędzy demokratycznym Zachodem i komunistycznym Wschodem wpływały na Wiedeń niekorzystnie. Przyjęta teza badawcza dotyczy możliwości i skali zaangażowania Austrii na rzecz reform gospodarczych w Polsce. Austriacy uznali, że równomierny rozwój wschodnich sąsiadów służył rozwojowi Drugiej Republiki i konsekwentnie go wzmacniali. Austria wielokrotnie potwierdzała chęć pomocy Polsce, nie tylko humanitarnej, ale także dyplomatycznej i gospodarczej, bez konieczności negatywnej oceny działań władz komunistycznych. Dlatego charakterystyka Austrii w polskich dokumentach dyplomatycznych i oficjalnych komunikatach prasowych z lat 1985–1989 to obraz sojusznika i partnera. Przykładem skrzętnie wykorzystywanym przez polskie władze było oficjalne stanowisko Austrii i jej negatywna ocena sankcji gospodarczych nałożonych na Polskę przez Zachód. Narracja została podzielona na dwa okresy. Pierwszy dotyczy lat 1985–1986 i relacjonuje odradzanie stosunków po wprowadzeniu stanu wojennego w Polsce. Drugi etap dotyczy wspólnych działań w latach prowadzących do przełomu i „jesieni ludów”. Polityka rządu austriackiego wzmocniła funkcjonujący reżim i przedłużyła rozkład polskiego systemu politycznego. W nieoficjalnych rozmowach reformy gospodarcze w Polsce oceniano w Austrii jako powierzchowne i przewidywano załamanie gospodarcze, mogące mieć katastrofalne skutki dla całej Europy. Władze polskie wykorzystywały wpływy i pozycję neutralnej republiki do realizacji własnych celów, zwłaszcza do legitymizacji swoich rządów. Bilans stosunków dwustronnych w końcowym etapie zimnej wojny okazał się dla obu krajów niekorzystny.
Sachsenhausen czy Ravensbrück? Nowe źródła i możliwości interpretacyjne dotyczące okoliczności śmierci bł. bp. Władysława Gorala (1898–1945)
Authors: Marczewski Jarosław R.
Published: July 2024

Biskup Władysław Goral należy do grona 108 beatyfikowanych polskich męczenników II wojny światowej. Jako lubelski biskup pomocniczy został w 1939 r. skazany przez niemiecki sąd nazistowski na karę śmierci, zamienioną następnie na dożywotnie więzienie. Wobec niekompletnych danych źródłowych, po długiej dyskusji naukowej, utrwalił się pogląd, że jego śmierć nastąpiła pomiędzy lutym a kwietniem 1945 r. w obozie koncentracyjnym Sachsenhausen, gdzie był więziony przez ponad pięć lat. Dotychczasowy stan wiedzy na ten temat podważa nowo odkryty dokument z niemieckich archiwów. Są to zeznania Hansa Appela, współwięźnia z KL Sachsenhausen, który 21 kwietnia 1945 r. miał wraz z bp. Goralem zostać przewieziony do obozu koncentracyjnego w Ravensbrück. W artykule została zweryfikowana wartość ostatnio odnalezionego dokumentu. W rezultacie postawiono hipotezę o zamordowaniu bp. Gorala w Ravensbrück pomiędzy 21 a 29 kwietnia 1945 r. i przedstawiono argumentację przemawiającą za nowymi okolicznościami jego śmierci.
Metaphysics of Yoga in the Gheranda Samhita Scripture
Authors: Widya Sena I Gusti Made , Putu Adnyana Ida Bagus , Arsa Wiguna I Made
Published: July 2024

The background of this research is that, apart from interpreting the verses related to God and yoga practice contextually, it also aims to analyse the metaphysics of yoga in the Gheranda Samhita book so that the knowledge gained by academics and yoga practitioners is more comprehensive. Metaphysics is full of discussions relating to God, the soul, eschatology, and illusory things. Moreover, if you study it using the postulates in a script as a limitation to sharpen the perspective that will be born, one script that can be used as a reference for understanding the dimensions of metaphysics is the Gheranda Samhita. Through descriptive qualitative methods, using hermeneutic theory, this research found the following findings: First, apart from Shiva as an aspect of God's representation as described in the Gheranda Samhita script, there are still other aspects of God that can represent His greatness. Second, it is through soul awareness that humans can achieve perfect awareness in living life. Third, there are no shackles like Maya, the term which is identified with the words illusion or bondage. Fourth, karma: actions in life. Fifth, Ahamkara, is another term for ego, and Sixth, Brahman and its Prakrti activities.

Authors: Madhumitha C.M. , Ramprabhu R. , Jeyaraja K. , Subapriya S.
Published: July 2024

Background: Physical activity alters the cardiovascular system of dogs depending on the exercise characteristics and the animal’s physical conditioning. Little is known about the cardiovascular changes in working police dogs. This study evaluated the cardiovascular responses of working Labradors to regular exercise and various workload. Methods: Twelve working Labradors of Tamil Nadu police department that were regularly trained and exercised 30 minutes morning and evening and twelve normal household pet Labradors brought for regular checkup to Madras Veterinary College Teaching hospital were taken for the study. All the animals were subjected to physical, clinical, hematobiochemical, electrocardiographic examinations and cardiac auscultation before performing echocardiography. Those animals which showed normal recordings in all the above tests were further subjected to M-mode, Pulsed wave and Tissue Doppler echocardiography. In this study, the resting heart rate values of working groups were lesser than that of normal pet dogs. Result: The results of echocardiography showed significant increase in Interventricular septal diameter during diastole, left atrial diameter, aortic artery diameter and the left atrium to aortic diameter ratio without impairing systolic and diastolic cardiac functions in working dogs. The present study indicated that there were few changes in the echocardiographic parameters which might be a response to physiological adaptation and regular exercise.
The Legal Culture to Prevent Radical Islamism by a Pesantren in Madura
Authors: Mukhlis Mukhlis , Jufri Muwaffiq , Arowosaiye Yusuf Ibrahim , Garunja Evis , Boemiya Helmy
Published: July 2024

This study examines the strategies implemented by several pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools) in Madura to curb the proliferation of radical Islam. It aims to uncover the various approaches these Islamic boarding schools employ to combat the rise of radical Islam, which has recently gained traction in the region. Utilising empirical legal research methodologies with socio-legal and anthropo-legal frameworks, the study reveals that pesantrens are proactive in teaching students—the Santri—to reject religious radicalism. Furthermore, these institutions foster religious communities, such as koloman, kamrat, and Majelis Shalawat, which have been effective in resisting radical influences in Madura. The success of these pesantrens can be attributed to their pivotal role in enhancing legal awareness among the community, steering them away from radical ideologies. This strategic influence is anchored in their capacity to modify legal behaviours through organisational structure, social control, and cultural integration. The findings affirm the critical role of pesantrens in promoting a secure, peaceful, and religiously tolerant Indonesia, highlighting their tangible contributions to national stability.
The Effect of Scarcity and Information Avoidance on Debt Management Behavior
Authors: Barrafrem Kinga , Kienzler Mario , Västfjäll Daniel , Tinghög Gustav
Published: July 2024

We explore how financial scarcity affects the strategy people choose to pay off their debts and the role of information avoidance in debt repayment. We conduct an online experiment in the United Kingdom (N= 1,000) in which people are endowed with multiple debts and given the task to pay off as many debts as possible during 15 rounds. We manipulate the level of financial scarcity by randomly assigning individuals to experience a negative, a positive, or no financial shock during these 15 rounds. The results show that perceived financial scarcity is related to less optimal debt repayment. In conclusion, our findings suggest that perceived scarcity propels further scarcity due to poor debt management.
Psihometrijske karakteristike skale za ispitivanje stavova mladih prema nasilju u partnerskim odnosima
Authors: Mentus Kandić Tatjana , Despotović Vera , Džamonja Ignjatović Tamara
Published: July 2024

Do sada je razvijen značajan broj programa za prevenciju nasilja u partnerskim odnosima, što je otvorilo potrebu za razvojem instrumenata za njihovu evaluaciju, čiji broj je za sada oskudan. U ovom radu predložen je jedan takav instrument, kojeg je isprva činilo 42 stavke, u vidu skala Likertovog tipa, sa petostepenim rangiranjem odgovora. One su formulisane tako da procenjuju stavove za koje su prethodna istraživanja ukazivala da su značajni prediktori nastanka i ispoljavanja nasilja u partnerskim odnosima mladih. Skala je, zajedno sa demografskim upitnikom, onlajn administrirana uzorku od 193 ispitanika studentske populacije (85.1% ženskog pola), starosti 19-22 godine, iz tri Univerzitetska centra, Beograd, Niš i Novi Sad. Primenom analize glavnih komponenti izdvojena je jedna komponenta od 22 ajtema, koja je objašnjavala 51.2% varijanse kriterijuma i po sadržaju joj je odgovarao naziv “Skala za ispitivanje stavova mladih prema nasilju u partnerskim odnosima“.

Topic modeling for short texts: comparative analysis of algorithms
Authors: Vashchenko Vasilisa
Published: July 2024

The steady increase in the popularity of social media as a means of communication actualizes methodological issues related to processing of short texts with less semantic context than large corpora, which are widely used for training and testing machine learning models for textual data. Topic modeling, an unsupervised machine learning technique aimed at aggregating texts into topic clusters, has many academic and practical applications where information on true groupings of texts is not available. However, the performance of topic modeling algorithms may be limited by requirement of a sufficient semantic context for a high-quality numerical representation of a unit of text, which may not be derived effectively from a short document. This paper is dedicated to discussing 6 different approaches to topic modeling, comparing their performance on a set of Russian-language comments on TikTok and formally evaluating their performance based on speed and coherence of the resulting topics.
Experience of implementing discourse analysis and conceptual mapping of healthy eating communities
Authors: Tkach Sergey , Vorobyova Polina , Rusakova Maya
Published: July 2024

The article presents the experience of implementing discourse analysis methods as interpreted by E. Laclau and C. Mouffe and the concept mapping method as interpreted by W. Trochim through the network analysis technique using the example of healthy eating. The result of the analysis is a graph that makes it possible to highlight the struggle of discourse agents for the meaning of key discursive signs, as well as the conceptual map of participants in an online discussion on controversial issues within the topic discussed in the article as an example. The empirical basis for the discourse analysis was 3 000 collected comments in four communities about healthy eating on the social networks VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. The modified versions of the methods of concept mapping and discourse analysis were adapted for the analysis of online discussions. Subsequent validation of the methods seems to be a promising direction for further research. The proposed designs have a number of limitations, which are discussed in the article.
Overcoming the language barrier among students in the development of communicative competence in a foreign language
Authors: Dronova S. Yu.
Published: July 2024

Importance. This study is devoted to the communicative aspect of learning foreign languages and one of the most acute problems on the way to mastering oral foreign language speech – language barriers. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that in recent decades communicative competence has often been displaced from foreign language classes in non-linguistic universities, even despite the current competence approach, giving way to grammar and vocabulary, as well as foreign language for specific purposes. As a result, students are experiencing more and more problems with oral communication, most of which are related to the language barrier. Despite many scientific papers on this topic, their authors touch upon the theoretical aspects of the problem and, as a rule, do not offer specific methods for developing communicative competence with overcoming the language barrier.

Materials and Methods. The paper uses methods of analysis of both domestic and foreign studies, empirical methods of long-term observation, system analysis, survey and pedagogical experiment.

Result and Discussion. The main difficulties faced by students in the development of communicative competence in learning a foreign language can be divided into three groups: linguistic, psychosocial and organizational. The proposed scheme for the development of communicative competencies "Presentation – Reproduction – (Semi)controlled tasks – Communication" allows to prevent the occurrence and overcome the language barrier among students at different stages of language learning.

Conclusion. The principles underlying learning with overcoming the language barrier consist in the naturalness of communication within the framework of training sessions, the gradual complication and relevance for students of educational materials for the development of oral communication.
Typology of pedagogical situations: cross-cultural analysis
Authors: Dobrova V. V.
Published: July 2024

Importance. The natural appeal to the possibility of defining certain typological features that would contribute to the differentiation of pedagogical situations leads to the need for a certain systematization of knowledge and experience. It is relevant to consider and compare the classification basis of typologies, since there is still no certainty about how a pedagogical situation should be described.

Research methods. The comparative analysis, the content analysis, the method of interpretation and contextual analysis.

Result and Discussion. The analyzed typologies of pedagogical situations in Russian pedagogy differ in typological basis, principles, understanding of the essence of pedagogical situations, which makes their systematization ambiguous, complex and practically impossible to use in everyday pedagogical practice. Foreign typologies of pedagogical situations are built on fundamentally different grounds, based on the understanding of the essence of the educational process, participants and the nature of changes. The analysis has shown that all the studied typologies of situations do not simplify the use and systematization of pedagogical situations, but being built on mixed basis, bring confusion in understanding and operating of pedagogical situations.

Conclusion. The diversity of descriptions and ambiguity of definitions of pedagogical situations makes it difficult to create a complete typology and choose the clear basis. Based on our definition of the pedagogical situation, we considered it possible to propose clearer and more systematic basis for typology and to identify 3 types of pedagogical situations. Such a logical basis can be the ability of a pedagogical situation to reach the solution of a pedagogical task. Unlike all the analyzed situations, the proposed typology is based on clear systemic typological basis, allows differentiating and ordering of pedagogical situations, is easy to use.
Features of creative self-development of adolescents with intellectual disabilities by means of theatrical art
Authors: Kondrashkina E. V. , Sharshov I. A.
Published: July 2024

Importance. The problem of creative self-development of adolescents with disabilities is very relevant, since the social adaptation of such adolescents implies the complexity of interaction with others, is characterized by an unformed skills of self-knowledge, self-organization, self-regulation, and other mechanisms of self-development. In particular, the creative self-development of adolescents with intellectual disabilities is associated with the development of thinking, motor skills, and communicative functions. This is possible through amateur theater as a form of social and pedagogical work with young people with disabilities. The purpose of the study is to determine the role and pedagogical possibilities of amateur theatrical art as a means of creative self–development of adolescents with disabilities, taking into account the specifics of adolescents with intellectual disability (mental retardation).

Research Methods. In the course of the research, such theoretical methods as generalization, comparison, etc. were used, domestic psychological and pedagogical works in the field of theater pedagogy were studied, empirical methods were used – understanding the experience of working with participants of the psychotherapeutic theater “We”.

Results and Discussion. It is revealed and substantiated that amateur theater is a means of creative development and self-development of a personality, that is, an environment where activities aimed at the personal development of adolescents with disabilities can be fully realized on the basis of the existing personal potential in accordance with the norms of morality and cultural context accepted in society. The pedagogical possibilities of theatrical art, realized in specific forms of work (trainings, sketches, effective analysis of a play, staged work, etc.) and used at various stages of organizational and creative activity of an amateur theater group, contribute to the development of appropriate skills of self-knowledge and self-organization, thinking, and communicative abilities of adolescents with intellectual disabilities (mental retardation).

Conclusions. The application of the research results contributes to the development of new methods and means of pedagogical work with young people with disabilities, the formation of an effective creative environment for their creative self-development and social adaptation.
Game-based learning as a pedagogical approach to enhance students’ motivation in learning Russian as a second language
Authors: Miloserdova E. M. , Morozov E. A.
Published: July 2024

Importance. Active mastery of a foreign language, including Russian as a foreign language, remains the desire of those who study the language. The intensification of the educational process sets the task of maintaining students' motivation for the material being studied. Game mechanics help to stimulate thinking, enhance initiative in learning. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of using game mechanics to increase students' motivation when learning Russian as a foreign language.

Materials and Methods. The material for the research was the educational and methodological complex for studying Russian as a foreign language developed by L.V. Moskovkin and L.V. Silvina “Russian Language. Textbook for foreign students.” The scientific and methodological literature is analyzed, revealing aspects of game mechanics when teaching the Russian language. An experiment is conducted to identify the role of game mechanics in the lesson. When conducting the study, the methods of participant observation, survey, and generalization are used.

Results and Discussion. The presented theoretical material makes it clear that game mechanics are neither a game nor a role-playing simulation. They control the motivation and behavior of students in the learning process. This model gradually immerses students in certain activities and develops communication skills. The author’s results of the conducted research are presented, including a description of the game mechanics.

Conclusions. It is proved that game-based learning methods contribute to the initiation of the highest levels of engagement and motivation among foreign students when learning the Russian language. The integrated approach to learning has a positive impact on the educational process and is an effective means of teaching Russian as a foreign language, providing a guarantee for the successful future development of the training program.
