Authors:   Львівський державний університет внутрішніх справ, Шевченко Наталія , Копитко Марта
Published: January 2025

The article considers the basic essence of the concept of “bank credit security”, which is defined as a set of measures or directions aimed at minimizing the negative risks associated with the issuance, management and repayment of loans to individuals and legal entities. It is determined that the main structural elements of credit security management by a banking institution are: formation of a loan portfolio, credit policy and credit strategy; identification of risks and factors affecting the level of credit security; insurance against credit risks: formation of reserves, diversification, setting limits, cooperation with third parties, etc. The main principles of credit security management are as follows: minimization of credit risks, creditworthiness assessment, loan collateral, loan portfolio differentiation, continuous monitoring and control, adaptation to changes in the external environment, transparency and awareness, minimization of risk concentration, innovation and use of modern technologies.

It is investigated that the level of efficiency of credit security management of banks is influenced by external and internal factors: war, constant shelling, migration, interest rates, currency fluctuations, unemployment, changes in legislation, the state of financial markets, the introduction of technological innovations and digitalization, the level of borrower assessment, the bank's credit policy, the financial condition of borrowers, the quality of the loan portfolio, the qualifications and experience of credit analysts, credit risk management strategies, and others.

In 2019-2024, the positive trend of reducing the number of non-performing loans in the structure of loan portfolios continued. Since the beginning of 2024, the total amount of Ukrainians' debt on microloans has increased 1.7 times: from UAH 9.3 billion to UAH 16.02 billion.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the process of formation of resilience, assertiveness and humanistic values ​​in medical students through participation in volunteer activities. The study focuses on the significance of these psychological qualities for future medical workers, as well as on how volunteering becomes an important element of their professional development. The paper examines in detail the role of resilience as the ability to recover and adapt after stressful situations, which is an integral part of the professional activities of doctors. Particular attention is paid to the development of assertive behavior, which ensures effective communication, establishing healthy boundaries in interaction with patients and colleagues, thus contributing to the development of professional confidence and communicative competence of students. Humanistic values, such as empathy, altruism, compassion, which are integral features of the medical profession, are formed through participation in volunteer programs, where students have the opportunity to work directly with people in need of help. Volunteering, due to its focus on social assistance and support, creates conditions for the development of these values ​​and gives students the opportunity to feel the importance of their profession not only as a functional, but also as a humanistic one. The scientific work emphasizes the need to integrate volunteering into the curricula of medical universities, since this experience forms important psychological qualities that contribute to high professional efficiency, emotional and psychological health of doctors, and also improve their ability to cope with professional challenges and stresses. It is concluded that participation in volunteer programs is an important component of professional development, as it allows students to develop the traits and skills necessary for successful medical practice.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN THE FORMATION OF TOLERANCE TOWARD CORRUPTION IN UKRAINIAN SOCIETY
Authors:   ВНЗ "Університет економіки та права "КРОК", Корнієнко Олексій
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes the psychological mechanisms and social factors contributing to the formation of tolerance toward corruption in Ukrainian society. Particular attention is given to a comprehensive examination of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that determine the psychological readiness to perceive corrupt practices as an acceptable way of solving everyday problems. The author explores historical prerequisites that have entrenched corruption as a social norm, emphasizing the influence of the Soviet legacy and contemporary cultural patterns.

The study highlights the role of cognitive distortions, social learning, group dynamics, professional deformation, and emotional factors in creating a favorable environment for tolerance toward corruption. Specifically, it focuses on mechanisms such as rationalization, diffusion of responsibility, and social comparison, which allow individuals to maintain a positive self-image despite engaging in morally questionable actions. Attention is also given to the phenomenon of "learned helplessness," which fosters passivity in countering corrupt practices, and to cultural traditions of mutual assistance, which can sometimes justify corrupt actions.

The author emphasizes that a low level of trust in state institutions, economic instability, and the absence of effective anti-corruption measures contribute to the normalization of corrupt behavior. The article suggests ways to overcome tolerance for corruption through the implementation of educational programs, the development of civic engagement, the enhancement of critical thinking skills, and the promotion of anti-corruption resilience.

The findings could serve as a basis for developing comprehensive psychological interventions aimed at reducing tolerance for corruption at both individual and societal levels, as well as for creating effective prevention programs. This research offers a practical contribution to combating corruption and establishing new moral and ethical standards in Ukrainian society.

Using marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB), the extensively cultivated but vulnerable to leaf rust Indian bread wheat variety HD3086 was improved with the LrTrk leaf rust resistance gene. After its release, HD3086 developed a vulnerability against leaf rust. In the present study, HD3086 was introgressed with LrTrk, a leaf rust resistance gene from the Trinakria genotype of durum wheat. The population comprising F1, BC1F1, BC2F1, and BC2F2 plants was developed by crossing and backcrossing Trinakria with HD3086. Foreground selection targeting LrTrk and background analysis for recovering the recurrent parent genome (RPG) were conducted in the BC1F1 and successive generations. The LrTrk-linked SSR marker, Xgwm234, was utilized for foreground analysis, while SSRs exhibiting significant polymorphism between parents were used to determine the background recovery in all generations. Finally, 20 LrTrk positive BC2F3 NILs displaying the highest background recovery with RPG (97.23-98.67%) also showed differential leaf rust response with pathotype 77-5 of P. triticina. Based on the RPG recovery and leaf rust score, BC2F3 NILs have also been subjected to field evaluation for yield and yield-contributing traits. The study revealed non-significant differences in PH, SL, TN, SPS, and GYs of most BC2F3 NILs compared to recurrent parent HD3086. Overall, the study unveils the practical utility of MABB in leaf rust breeding for developing resistant cultivars in the background of elite and popular wheat varieties with relatively higher precision and speed.
An approach to identify stable genotypes based on MTSI and MGDII indexes in okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]
Authors: N SANDEEP , Dushyantha Kumar B.M.
Published: January 2025

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus [L.] Moench) is an annual vegetable crop grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Okra genotypes perform differently under different environmental conditions. Plant breeders have long struggled with the phenomena of genotype x environment interaction, which is a prevalent issue in plant breeding programmes. The main aim of genotype selection is to find okra genotypes with productive traits that might perform better under varied environmental conditions. The Multi-Trait Stability Index (MTSI) and Multi-Trait Genotype-Ideotype Distance Index (MGIDI) were employed for identifying high-performing stable genotypes exhibiting multiple traits. In the current investigation, 42 okra accessions grown in different seasons were assessed for 12 morphological traits. The results obtained by MTSI and MGIDI indexes revealed that, out of 42, only 4 genotypes performed better across the seasons and the four genotypes (UAHS-8, UAHS-10, UAHS-11 and UAHS-19) were selected in the indexes. View on strengths and weakness as described by the MGIDI and MTSI reveals the strength of the ideal genotypes in the present work is mainly focused on average fruit weight and fruit yield per plant. Due to their distinctiveness and ease of use in interpreting data with minimal multicollinearity difficulties, MTSI and MGIDI serve as novel tool for simultaneous genotype selection processes in plant breeding programmes across multi environments.

Pyruvate is the primary respiratory substrate used to provide energy for growth and development in plants. The role of genetic variants of pyruvate pathway genes with yield and its attributing traits in rice is not properly understood. In this study, association of sixteen yield traits with SNPs and In/Dels of nine pyruvate metabolism pathway genes (Os01g0649100, Os01g0743500, Os04g0671700, Os05g0186300, Os06g0246500, Os07g0630800, Os10g0159800, Os11g0210300 and Os11g0216000) were analyzed using the mixed linear models with principal component analysis (MLM+PCA) based population correction approach. The majority of the traits were found to follow a normal distribution pattern. Besides, MLM+PCA analysis showed a significant association of five markers with six different yield-related traits and the proportion of phenotypic variation explained ranged from 3.56 to 4.56%. Furthermore, the pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 alpha subunit (Os06g0246500) gene (Chr06:7602782) showed the highest mean percent difference (19.36%) for plant height. Moreover, most of the IRRI elite lines possessed favorable alleles for plant height (74.55%) and flag leaf area (79.28%) and in contrast, popular varieties like Swarna have inferior alleles for the yield trait-associated SNPs. Thus, genetic variation in the pyruvate pathway genes associated with yield-related traits could be exploited in rice improvement programs.

Rice blast disease and soil acidity related phosphorus deficiency and mineral toxicities are the major issue observed in rice growing ecosystems across the world, especially in North Eastern Hill (NEH) region of India. The present study aimed to check the allelic distribution for major genes for blast resistance, low P tolerance, grain yield and their association with increasing grain yield under acidic soils in NEH region. A set of 75 genotypes including parental lines, advanced breeding lines and landraces were evaluated and a significant association of SPIKE allele (Type-5) with spikelets per panicle, grain yield per panicle and plot yield was recorded. Gn1a-InDel3 allele was significantly associated with increased spikelets and grain number per panicle. The gene PSTOL1 showed a significant association with tiller number at 30 and 60 days after transplanting but not with plot yield. The genotypes carrying desirable allele for Pi9, Pi2 and Pi-ta recorded lower disease scores but none of them individually were significantly associated with blast resistance. Genotypes carrying these genes together had significantly lower blast disease scores. The study also identified advanced breeding lines ULRC24-48-5-1, ULRC24-57-1-1-1, ULRC24-49-5-1-1, ULRC24-99-3-1-1, ULRC26-11-2-1-1 and ULRC26-1-1-1 carrying six to eight favourable allelic combinations with high plot yield under acidic soil conditions. These lines can be used as potential donors in breeding pipeline for enhancing genetic gain under low input acidic soil conditions

Plant roots are the primary organs that sense and respond to soil-derived stresses. A healthy root system architecture reflects a plant’s adaptive potential. In this study, we analyzed root traits of 286 rice varieties grown in hydroponic and pot culture systems. The results revealed considerable variation and significant correlations for root traits across both systems. Cluster analysis partitioned the genotypes into two clusters, with total root length, surface area and root diameter as major determinants of variation. The results highlight marginal changes in root system traits within the indica group, resulting in distinct behaviors under pot culture conditions. However, the Aus/Boro subgroup did not exhibit similar patterns. The study underscores the importance of further investigating root system traits to achieve adaptive improvements, aiming to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of root breeding programs. Understanding these variations can lead to the discovery of desirable traits and the development of superior rice varieties with efficient root systems.

Optimization of different physiological processes to meet the requirement of various agronomic traits consolidation now appears to be necessary to break the fast-approaching yield ceiling. Source-sink relationship in the new high-yielding genetic base, along with better partitioning of assimilates toward developing grain, requires synergy between various developing traits at the physiological level. In the current study, eight lines with improved genetic base for the grain yield with diverse physiological traits were crossed in a diallel fashion to generate 64 crosses. The F1s were grown along with their parents to study their physiological behavior vis-a-vis combining ability. All the physiological traits are controlled by both additive and non-additive gene action with strong maternal effects. HDCSW18(P8) and HD 3226(P6) were found be good general combiners for grain yield. HDCSW18 was found to be the best general combiner for a majority of physiological traits like crop growth rate (CGR), leaf area index (LAI) and NDVI, along with grain yield. DBW 187 was found to be a good combiner for photosynthetic efficiency and may complement well with HDCSW18 for developing a highly physiologically efficient genotype. Strong deviation in expression from normal expected value in F1 combinations for grain yield was realised in cross combinations 35th ESWYT-147 (P2) X HDCSW18 (P8) for CGR, NIAW34/PHW12//43IBWSN-1187(P3) X HDCSW18(P8) for canopy temperature depression, NDVI, NIAW34/PHW12//43IBWSN-1187(P3) X HD 3226(P6) for LAI, DBW187 (P5) X HD3086(P7) for chlorophyll content, and in 35th ESWYT-147(P2), XHDCSW18 (P8) and NIAW34/PHW12//43IBWSN-1187(P3) XDBW187 (P5) for grain yield, respectively. More than 10% standard heterosis in DBW187(P5) X HDCSW18(P8), NIAW34/PHW12//43IBWSN-1187(P3) XDBW187 (P5) and HD3117 (P1) X HD2967//HD2887/HD2946//HD2733 (P4) for grain yield seems to be mainly because of highly improved leaf area index and grain weight. The high proportion of non-additive components in the genetic control of yield and harvest index offers us an opportunity either for exploitation of heterosis by developing hybrids or improvement in these traits by following a population improvement program. The presence of significant and positive standard heterosis for each of the physiological traits in at least one of the crosses offers an opportunity to develop physiologically improved fixed lines with a higher probability of higher grain yield.

Identification of markers linked to loci controlling economically important traits, including growth habits, helps the selection of genotypes with desired growth habits at the seedling stage itself in crops, with no exception of the dolichos bean. Near isogenic lines (NILs) differing for a target locus are the most appropriate genetic resources for the identification of dependable genomic resources for use in a marker-assisted selection of genes controlling growth habit. In the present study, we found that 30 F2:5 progenies derived from a cross between determinate and indeterminate parents segregated for a few morphological traits, including growth habit. A total of 30 F2:5 progenies were regarded as heterogeneous inbred families (HIFs). Among these 30 F2:5 HIF, seven were segregated only for growth habits. From these seven HIFs, seven pairs of plants differing in growth habit were selected and were regarded as candidate NILs for growth habit. Of these, only six pairs were segregated for growth habit as inferred by polymorphism for alleles at SSR marker (LPD 19) linked to growth habit. Of these, only four pairs of NILs showed monomorphism (>80%) at most of the 94 background SSR markers and hence were regarded as the most putative NILs. These NILs serve as ideal genetic resources to assess the effect of growth habit genes on non-target traits in the dolichos bean.

Published: January 2025

Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Milsp.] is an important leguminous crop with high protein content and nutritional value in tropical and subtropical regions. To assess the genetic diversity and correlation among qualitative and quantitative phenotypic traits in 73 pigeon pea Minicore (MC) collection of pigeon pea experiments was laid out under field and rain shelter conditions for two years. Principal component analysis contributed 85.9% of the overall variation in quantitative traits and four components contributed 76.6% in qualitative traits to total variation. Eigenvalues indicated that a pod length, seed weight and specific gravity contributed to total diversity in quantitative traits. Among the quantitative traits, the highest coefficient (CV%) was found in specific gravity (81.4%), followed by a number of primary branches (65.3%), while pod length, pod width, plant height, branch angle, seed weight and stem width showed more than 20% coefficient of variability. In cluster analysis, qualitative traits grouped the genotypes into three clusters and quantitative traits in four clusters, signifying quantitative traits offer better clustering of genotypes. The overall Shannon weaver diversity index ranged from 2.47 (seed coat color) to 0.243 (seed size). The present study indicated that MC93, MC116, MC2 displayed a higher number of seeds/pod, better pod length and pod width, whereas MC109, MC90, MC117 and MC120 showed higher seed weight. These traits seem to be an important contributor to seed yield and must be considered in the selection for high seed yield. The findings may facilitate genebank curators to understand the Mini Core (MC) collection within and among the cores, develop appropriate germplasm conservation policies, and help in crop improvement.

Published: January 2025

Capsicum chinense Jaqc., is well known for its high capsaicin content and medicinal properties. The productivity of this crop is extensively hindered by different viruses, among which potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most devastating viruses worldwide. The interaction between eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and potyvirus VPg (viral protein genome-linked) correlates with potyvirus infectivity. Cloning and characterization of the eIF4E gene related to Capsicum viral disease resistance is critical for understanding plant-pathogen interactions, especially with potato virus Y infection. The present study aims to isolate, clone, and characterize the full-length gene encoding eIF4E from C. chinense Jaqc. The full-length eIF4E gene sequence obtained was 692 bp (GenBank Accession No.: MN661348) with an ORF of 687 nucleotides and 228 amino acid residues and blast homology analysis of the CceIF4E sequence showed 99% sequence similarity with C. annum and C. baccatum. A conserved domain was identified from a CDD search. Secondary structure prediction showed 11 alpha helices and seven beta strands. Phylogenetic analysis showed a higher identity to C. annum, indicating the molecular evolution of the CceIF4E gene. The presented work will pave the way for reverse engineering for the development of viral resistance in Bhut Jolokia.

In the face of escalating uncertainties due to global climate change-induced heat stress, ensuring the stability of chickpea yields iscrucial for global food security. To select stable and heat stress-tolerant genotypes, 25 advanced chickpea breeding lines, includingthree checks, were evaluated for various phenological, yield, and yield-related traits under diverse ecological field conditions. Undernormal sown conditions, IPC2021-71 (G13), ICC92944 (G21), and IPC2019-170 (G14) showed greater stability and desirability for yield.Among these, IPC2021-71 outperformed in Kanpur, Punjab, and Bhopal based on the “which won where” criterion. Punjab and Bhopalemerged as the most informative locations based on the GGE biplot “discrimination-and-representativeness” analysis. Under heatstress conditions, stability analysis revealed that IPC2021-165 (G6), IPC2015-52 (G9), IPC2011-61 (G10), and ICC92944 (G21) were stableperformers. Additionally, the “which won where” criterion highlighted G6 as the best performer in Punjab and New Delhi under heatstress conditions. Punjab and Delhi were identified as the most representative locations for heat stress.

Published: January 2025

A rare occurrence of a haploid coconut from a twin seedling was observed in a natural population. The haploid nature of the seedling was confirmed using cytology and ploidy analysis. Amplification of tall-specific SCAR marker in the diploid seedling suggested a possible natural cross by pollen from a WCT palm. The haploids identified in the nursery may be a possible route for generating a pure line of coconut that can be used in future breeding programs.
‘Don’t look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences’: a conceptual framework for silence as a medium for power in the Arts
Authors: Hanna Amy
Published: January 2025

The concept of silence is somewhat mercurial. Far from an absence of sound, various artists have explored the nuances of its construction, perhaps most famously by the composer John Cage in his seminal composition “4”33”. Despite this artistic exploration, examinations of silence as a feature of expression are scarce, as is an apt theorisation of what remains unspoken, and how this may be more powerful an expression than speech. By conceptualising silence through a political theory lens of power as social action upon boundaries, I argue that silence is used to establish, negotiate, and trouble social and political boundaries and as a vehicle for power as social action. Drawing upon Seamus Heaney’s poems “Whatever you say, say nothing” and “Clearances”, I apply a four-part framework to conceptualise silence as linguistic, epistemic, rhetoric and symbolic, concluding that silence is the conceptual glue that unites manifestations of power and demarcates action upon boundaries.
“A pocket of possibility”: Silence in creative Australian music teaching and learning
Authors: Southcott Jane
Published: January 2025

Silence defines sound, framing it and giving it meaning. Contemporary music engagements with silence have infiltrated Australian school music education practices through the work of three seminal composer-educators. This selective historical sweep is infused by the personal. I was an inspired early adopter of exploratory creative approaches permeated by silence. I adopt an autoethnographical approach punctuating history with first-hand vignettes. In 1939 provocative American modernist composer John Cage (1912-1992) published Silence, an extended manifesto. In 1952, he created and performed the iconic work “4’33” in which performers are instructed not to play. Twenty-years later, I was one such performer. Silence became the focus of listener experience. Once legitimised, intentional silence infiltrated composition and music education. In 1967 George Self (1921-2001) devised ensemble improvisations suitable for schools, the first being “Sound/silence.” In 1970 another prolific British composer/educator John Paynter (1931-2010) published (with Peter Aston) the revolutionary Sound and Silence, which comprised increasingly complex classroom projects in creative music. The first attends to instrumental sounds punctuated by deep silences. Canadian composer/educator R. Murray Schafer (1933-2021) asserted the silence is a container for musical events, it is valuable, increasingly lost, and a focus of modern composers. Evocatively he described silence as “a pocket of possibility.” As a young music educator, I embraced these provocative, inspirational ideas. Murray Schafer toured Australia, speaking charismatically to a crowd including me. His ideas, bolstered by those of Cage, Self and Paynter, gradually permeated Australian school music practice. I was a witness to this, becoming a disciple and practitioner of creative compositional approaches to music teaching and learning.
Influencer y creadores de contenido digital en el Congreso dela República de Colombia 2022: ¿políticos profesionales o por eventualidad?
Authors: Orozco Macias Andrés Fernando , Madrid Garcés Pedro José
Published: January 2025

The present inquiry is linked to a series of studies on populism and electoral processes in Colombia, which in turn raised the question: What were the media and advertising structures that led social media influencers to transition from their regular content to obtaining a seat in the legislative branch? As a result of the analysis of content generated by influencers who participated in the 2022 legislative elections, a classification or categorization of factors was made, showing that the emotions and lifestyles displayed on social media were decisive in their political participation. This inquiry allowed for the expansion of theoretical frameworks to differentiate, in future research, the characteristics of long-established traditional politicians in the Congress of the Republic of Colombia from the actions of influencer-congresspeople in the 2022-2026 legislature.

Published: January 2025

This article examines the notions of substitution and archetypes in the film Big Hero 6, in both its narrative and audiovisual dimensions from the perspective of poetic possible worlds, exploring how these two notions shape the personal world of the film’s protagonist, Hiro Hamada. Our research makes a novel contribution to the field of Superhero Studies, offering an analysis of the audiovisual characteristics of a superhero film and exploring a work within the genre that has not yet received attention from researchers. The research identifies and explains several narrative strategies and their function: the role of the mediating substitute, the mimetic aspect of exemplary storytelling, and the mechanism of preserving the world’s structure through substitution. Camera position, framing and lighting all serve as audiovisual counterparts of these narrative strategies.

Published: January 2025

Can media coverage during election campaigns be considered polarizing? Is the media content we consume neutral, especially during periods of heightened political activity, or does it encourage social division into two opposing ideological camps? In an attempt to answer these questions, the media coverage and polarizing content of the 2023 Murcia Regional elections were analysed, specifically regarding television broadcasts, including those of La 7 and La 1 of TVE in its territorial broadcasting, as well as regional press outlets La Verdad and La Opinión. By using a content analysis methodology, the results indicate that the news disseminated by the media did not appear to transmit significant polarization in the Murcia Region during the election campaign of 28M.

Authors: Sivira Camacaro Rosmir
Published: January 2025

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining ground in the communications industry, taking over tasks traditionally performed by journalists. However, the application of information technology tools requires specific competencies. The aim of this study is to analyze the training approaches for journalism in higher education institutions concerning the development of skills related to Artificial Intelligence and automated journalism. A systematic review of 107 scientific articles was conducted. Among the findings, it was noted that universities do not specifically and deeply address content related to AI, and educators reported lacking the competencies to teach courses related to the application of AI in journalism, knowledge that is already demanded in the job market. It is concluded that there are significant deficiencies in university training in AI for journalists, highlighting the need to update study programs and incorporate interdisciplinary approaches. It is suggested to train educators and promote collaboration with technology experts to prepare future journalists for the ethical and critical use of automated tools.
Periodismo y desintermediación en las rutinas profesionales en Cuba: análisis de las salas de prensa virtuales y del rol de las herramientas digitales en la relación instituciones-periodistas

Published: January 2025

La digitalización en Cuba ha impactado la gestión de la comunicación institucional y ha transformado los flujos de interacción en la relación fuentes-periodistas. Nuevas herramientas como las salas de prensa virtuales proponen novedosas dinámicas de gestión informativa a la vez que alteran las rutinas periodísticas en el sistema de medios. Este estudio propone un análisis de la aplicabilidad digital al entorno institucional y periodístico cubano, mediante una caracterización del rol de las salas de prensa virtuales de 24 organismos de la administración central del Estado. Además, se complementa con 11 entrevistas semiestructuradas en profundidad a periodistas con vinculación a medios para conocer cómo se construyen sus agendas temáticas considerando la mediación tecnológica y las relaciones de influencia entre ambas partes. Entre los resultados destaca que estas herramientas de comunicación institucional facilitan el acceso a información para la elaboración de piezas periodísticas, pero funcionan como obstaculizadoras en el acceso a fuentes vivas, entorpecen también el acceso a las fuentes documentales y dificultan el intercambio bidireccional entre periodistas e instituciones. Todo esto en un contexto de desintermediación emergente, donde las corporaciones aspiran a emitir noticias e informaciones directamente a la ciudadanía saltándose el filtro de los medios oficiales.

El objetivo de este artículo es identificar y determinar los temas con mayores necesidades de formación para las rutinas de producción del periodismo local, nacional e internacional en Portugal. A partir de un cuestionario (n=169), el estudio analizó las medias y realizó un análisis factorial. Los resultados muestran que hay diferencias en las demandas de formación: los periodistas locales dicen que necesitan aprender más sobre técnicas para aumentar la visibilidad de las noticias que producen en internet y las redes sociales, mientras que los periodistas nacionales buscan más conocimientos sobre IA y los periodistas internacionales sobre datos. El análisis factorial determinó tres factores, de los cuales los dos primeros reflejaban los intereses de los periodistas, más concretamente de los locales, y el segundo de los internacionales. El tercer factor tuvo como elementos más fuertes temas relacionados con el contexto de la desinformación, como el fact-checking.

AbstractGlobalization has had a significant impact on education, creating competition and positive achievement, but also causing counter-social behavior. In the context of Islamic education, the formation of spiritual intelligence becomes very important. This research aims to describe the implementation of the Asnawi tahluq habit and the supporting and inhibiting factors. This research uses a qualitative method with a field research approach which is based on the philosophy of postpositivism. Data collection techniques involve observation, interviews and documentation at MTs. Matholi'ul Huda Troso. This school implements "asnawi tahluq" habituation activities which involve all members of the school community, including students, teachers and employees. These activities include reading Asma'ul Husna, sholawat nariyah, and Khatmil Qur'an with the aim of increasing understanding of religion, faith and spirituality. This activity is carried out routinely every day, guided by a special coordinator. Sholawat nariyah emphasizes personal involvement in worship, while reading Khatmil Qur'an helps students understand and appreciate the Qur'an. Supporting factors include kutaib books, relationships with Islamic boarding schools, student motivation, and available facilities. However, there are inhibiting factors such as lack of interest and discipline among students, personal problems, and lack of supervision in several classes which affect the success of the asnawi tahluq habit in the madrasah.
