This study investigated the effect of lime juice extract of cashew bark (LJECB) on lipid profile in indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in Wistar rats. Freshly pulverised Anacardium occidentale stem bark (1 kg) was soaked in freshly prepared Citrus aurantifolia fruit juice (3 L) for 48 hours inside a refrigerator (4 oC). The filtered solution was concentrated in vacuo using rotary evaporator to produce the crude extract labeled as LJECB. Forty-two (42) female Wistar rats (100-150 g) were randomized into seven groups (n = 6) and treated as follow. Group 1: normal control (Distilled water 1 ml/100g body weight); Group 2: 30 mg/kg indomethacin Only (ulcerated group); Group 3: 30 mg/kg indomethacin + 0.2 ml/kg Antacid; Group 4: 30 mg/kg indomethacin + 400 mg/kg LJECB; Group 5: 30 mg/kg indomethacin + 800 mg/kg LJECB. Group 6: 400 mg/kg LJECB; Group 7: 800 mg/kg LJECB. Prior to ulcer induction, the animals were fasted overnight and allowed free access to water ad libitum. Then indomethacin (30 mg/kg, 1 ml) was orally administered to the rats in Group 2 - 5. Treatment with LJECB or antacid commenced 4 hours post-induction for 14 days. After the last dose, the animals were fasted overnight and sacrificed under mild inhalation of diethyl ether. Serum samples were prepared and used for lipid biomarker analyses (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-c, LDL-c, and VLDL-c). Castelli risk index-1 and 2 were calculated from an established equation to determine the cardiovascular risk of the extract. Results showed that the untreated ulcerated group had a significant reduction in total cholesterol levels compared to the normal control group. Treatment with a high dose of LJECB further caused a significant decrease in the total cholesterol levels. Also ulcerated group had a significant reduction in triglyceride levels compared to the normal control group. Treatment with 400 mg/kg dose of LJECB further lowered the triglyceride levels in ulcerated rats, however, higher dose of LJECB (800 mg/kg) increased the triglyceride levels. Untreated ulcerated rats had a significant increase in HDL compared to the normal control group. Administration of LJECB (400 mg/kg) had no significant (p<0.0001) effect on HDL levels in the ulcerated group. However, 800 mg/kg of LJECB administered to a normal control group was associated with an increase in HDL. Moreover, the LDL was significantly low across all the groups. The normal control group had a higher Castelli risk index-1 (CRI-1), while the ulcer group and LJECB-treated groups had a relatively lower CRI-1 value. The study concludes that administration of LJECB to Wistar rats was associated with a reduction in total cholesterol and LDL levels, elevated HDL levels, and low Castelli risk index, in both ulcerated and non-ulcerated rats.

The World Health Organization recently reported that oral diseases ranked among the most common noncommunicable diseases globally, affecting an estimated 13.5 billion people. Also, malocclusion, as an integral part of the oral health burden, constitutes a significant portion of oral health disease that affects over 56% of people worldwide without relevant gender differences.Its prevalence and ranking may vary across different regions and populations, depending on factors like access to orthodontic care, cultural beliefs, and attitudes toward oral health, with the highest prevalence in Africa. Such important epidemiological data on malocclusion, especially from systemic reviews and meta-analysis in primary, mixed and permanent dentition, helps to determine, direct and prioritize orthodontic treatment needs, especially in low and medium-income countries with limited access and resources.
Climate disinformation on the internet and social media. Analysis of the phenomenon
Authors: Bąkowicz Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

Climate disinformation is a very serious challenge that modern societies must face. Authors of disinformation content use many tools and methods to interfere with discourse, including social media. They are often created and sponsored by industry representatives who spend millions of dollars on publications and advertising. The aim of the article is to attempt to analyse the phenomenon of climate disinformation on the Internet and social media. An important element here are the narratives exchanged by researchers on the subject, which include denying and disregarding climate change. They take the form of a delaying discourse, the aim of which is to postpone aid activities in the area of climate, or to convince that humans are unable to influence the climate in such a way as to change it. An important role is played by disinformation actors, i.e. a group of people and entities that create and distribute disinformation content. The selected research method is the desk research method based on the analysis of secondary sources regarding the analysed issue. The results of the analysis allow us to build a characterization of the polarized phenomenon of climate disinformation on the Internet and social media, present its components and who is responsible for it.
Luka komunikacyjna w debacie klimatycznej. Niewidoczność sektora hodowlanego jako zagrożenia klimatycznego i środowiskowego
Authors: Anaszewicz Marcin
Published: December 2024

Artykuł dotyczy luki komunikacyjnej wokół wpływu hodowli zwierząt na klimat i środowisko. Podczas gdy negatywne odziaływanie paliw kopalnych jest powszechnie znane oraz komunikowane, rola sektora hodowlanego w kryzysie klimatycznym i środowiskowym jest pomijana, co utrudnia prowadzenie otwartej debaty i prowadzenie zmian legislacyjnych. Publiczna percepcja, kształtowana przez media i politykę, najczęściej przedstawia rolnictwo wyłącznie jako ofiarę katastrofy klimatycznej, nie uwzględniając jego roli w pogłębianiu kryzysu klimatycznego i środowiskowego. W procesie zielonej transformacji kluczowa jest tutaj holistyczna komunikacja, jasny język, wiarygodne źródła i aktywny dialog, aby przełamać tę lukę, rozpocząć poważną debatę i szukać skutecznych rozwiązań prawnych i systemowych. Dysponujemy danymi, które wskazują na troskę społeczeństwa o klimat i środowisko, ale brak jest spójności między świadomością a działaniem. W artykule pokazano wybrane dane dotyczące odziaływania sektora hodowlanego na klimat i środowisko, które powinny stanowić podstawową wiedzę badaczy i badaczek, praktyków i praktyczek komunikowania środowiskowego.

“I don’t feel like I fit the math mold:” Identity Resources of Queer-Spectrum Students in Mathematics
Authors: Voigt Matthew
Published: December 2024

This paper presents findings from the qualitative portion of a larger mixed-methods study using thematic analysis with data from student focus groups focused on the experiences of queer-spectrum students in Mathematics. Drawing on Nasir's identity resource constructs, this study sheds light on the material, relational, and ideational resources impacting queer-spectrum students majoring in STEM. Three key findings emerged from the data: (1) smaller "safe spaces" and relationships within STEM environments fostered robust participation among queer-spectrum students (2) resources supporting academic and social integration, such as Out in STEM and positive instructor relationships, were crucial for fostering a sense of belonging, and (3) the lack of positive ideational resources, including the absence of queer role models and historical discrimination in STEM, contributed to a sense of exclusion among queer-spectrum students. Efforts to diversify STEM must address these challenges by promoting supportive environments that value diverse identities. Future research should examine how identity resources are made available in diverse institutional contexts to better support queer-spectrum students in developing robust math identities.

Esse artigo discute teoricamente a problemática de gênero, em específico, relativa às vivências de pessoas trans e travestis na sociedade, a ser transposta, estranhada e queerizada em aulas de matemática. Para isso, assumimos a vertente teórica da Teoria Queer e a concepção de (des)ordens da (re)invenção, de modo que, por meio de produtos cinematográficos, evidenciamos questões de ordem estrutural e trazemos à tona proposições de problematização da temática gênero em possibilidades de discussão em aulas de matemática. Como resultados, assumimos que há possibilidades de debate, reflexão, luta, (re)existência e resistência em relação a temáticas trans, quando a aula de matemática, entre outras, se põe a educar pela(s) matemática(s), podendo gerar responsabilidade social e héxis política de todes em um ambiente educativo, quiçá social, de modo geral.
Role of the USA in supporting energy security in Europe
Authors: Malohulko Yuliia
Published: December 2024

The relevance of studying the role of the USA in supporting energy security in Europe was due to the escalation of geopolitical risks and the need for the transformation of energy systems in European countries in the context of Rus- sian aggression. The purpose of the study was to analyse the efforts of the USA to strengthen Europe’s energy resilience through the diversification of energy supply sources and the expansion of alternative energy supply routes. The study involved the analysis of regulatory acts, statistical analysis of energy trade data, and a structural-functional analysis of the energy security of the European Union as an integrated system. The main results of the study demonstrated that the Unit- ed States of America plays a decisive role in ensuring the energy security of European countries by significantly increasing the export of crude oil and liquefied natural gas to European markets, as well as providing significant political and diplo- matic support to efforts aimed at diversifying energy supply sources. Analysis shows that American energy supplies have significantly contributed to reducing the dependence of European countries on traditional suppliers, particularly Russia. Despite significant achievements in the process of replacing Russian-origin energy carriers with alternative supplies from the United States, there are certain challenges and obstacles that require further resolution. Among them, it is worth not- ing the relatively higher cost of American energy resources, the insufficient level of development of the corresponding in- frastructure for receiving, storing, and distributing imported energy carriers in some European Union member states, and the potential decrease in the need for fossil fuel imports in the long term due to the active transition to renewable energy sources and the implementation of ambitious climate goals. The study also revealed the need to align the energy policies of the United States of America and the European Union, considering the long-term goals of decarbonising the economy and sustainable development. The practical significance of the study lies in the development of recommendations for further strengthening the transatlantic energy partnership, taking into account the need to balance energy security and economic decarbonisation goals
ON A REVIEW OF THE GRAMMAR OF THE MONTENEGRIN LANGUAGE (2010)
Authors:   Fakultet za crnogorski jezik i književnost ‒ Cetinje, ČIRGIĆ Adnan
Published: December 2024

In this paper, a review is given of the paper of Sanja Šubarić „Gender in the grammatical description of nouns (Contribution to stability of the category of the nominal genus)“, published in Folia linguistica et litteraria, No. 20, Fa-culty of Philosophy Nikšić, 2018, pp. 21–44. Although titled as a paper with a general morphological topic, the article is basically a review of the Grammar of the Montenegrin Language authored by A. Čirgić, J. Silić and I. Pranjković (Podgorica, 2010). The present review is motivated not only by what is said in Šubarić’s paper, but also by the way in which it is said. As we will illustrate, in her review the author treats the methodological approach taken in the preparation of the Grammar of the Montenegrin Language as a mistake of its authors just because she would have preferred a different approach. We would, of course, love to see her own grammar of the Montenegrin language (not grammar of the language of the territory of Montenegro or the language used in Montenegro, as she calls it, but grammar of the Montenegrin language – as it is called by contemporary Slavic studies).
HALLIDAY’S CONCEPT OF LANGUAGE FUNCTIONS AND ITS APPLICATION IN CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
Authors:   Fakultet za crnogorski jezik i književnost ‒ Cetinje, ORLANDIĆ Sanja
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we tried to make an overview of the basic characteristics of systemic functional linguistics that are applied in critical discourse analysis. In addition to the context, without which there can be no valid analysis in any field, we have specifically reflected on the system of metafunctions contained in language and the ways in which they occur in linguistic structures. The connection between systemic functional linguistics and critical discourse analysis is natural because both disciplines rest on the same foundations – they examine language in relation to its performative purpose.
EXPLORING INTERPERSONAL COMPONENTS OF LANGUAGE IN A WORK OF FICTION
Authors:   Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Splitu, LUKŠIĆ Sandra
Published: December 2024

This paper investigates interpersonal meanings in a work of fiction created by the use of various modal expressions and the ideology that lies behind two different modal systems constru­cted in it. The analysis of modality is conducted on the corpus of the essay A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf within the framework of discourse analysis (DA) and pragmatics. Within DA the research is focused on the function of modal expressions in the overall discourse organization, while the pragmatic aspect is more focused on the dominant role of context in determining the meaning of frequently very polysemic modal expressions. The analysis comprises over 90 examples of modal use which all contain the pronoun one occupying the syntactic function of a subject. The paper investigates how one as a subject, which defocuses the agent, is linked to various modal expressions from the communicative-functional approach, when its semantics im­plies animacy and human behaviour, linking it therefore to the speaker and the expression of subjectivity. Various modal expre­ssions, which can represent different modal systems, are being looked into from the aspect of different ideologies construed in the essay – possibility, probability, inference, obligation, per­mission etc.
AN ITALIAN TRAVELOGUE ABOUT MONTENEGRO FROM 1877
Authors:   Filološki fakultet – Nikšić, POPOVIĆ Olivera
Published: December 2024

In this paper we analyse a travelogue written about Montenegro after a visit to the country by its author, a member of the Italian parliament – Alfredo Serristori, during the Turkish-Montenegrin War (1876–1878). We have tried to examine the historical, political and cultural context of the travelogue in order to determine the factors that influenced the image of Montenegro and Montenegrins in it. Building our analysis on the models of interpretation used by those scholars who dealt with travel literature about Balkan countries in general, we have referenced the sources of the Montenegro discourse that was embraced not only by Serristori, but also by other foreign authors who wrote about the country during the Great Eastern Crises.
FAIRY WORLD IN CROATIAN MYTHOLOGICAL TALES AND PETAR GUDELJ’S POETRY AND PROSE
Authors:   Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Splitu, SUNARA Nikola , DRAGIĆ Marko
Published: December 2024

Procopius of Caesarea, Byzantine writer and member of the court of Byzantine emperor Justinian I described the customs of Slavs who infiltrated the Byzantine territory in the 6th cen­tury A.D. In his piece De Bellis he wrote that Slavs especially worshiped nymphs (fairies) and rivers. Jacobus da Varagine also wrote about fairies in his cult piece Legenda Aurea written in 1275 and published for the first time in 1470. In Croatian myt­hology, fairies are commonly mythological creatures. In Slavic and Croatian mythology, fairies are fabulous beauties, almost always dressed in long white, less often blue, dresses, with com­bed long golden-yellow hair, blue or green eyes, a flower wreath on their head, harmonious voice, quick and lean. They are an incarnation of beauty. In Croatian tales, fairies endowed people with physical and spiritual strength; gave strength to weak shep­herds; bestowed beauty upon girls. According to the Croatian ta­les, fairies taught people to be considerate, humble, and kind and instructed girls and women in weaving, making bread, healing, and other skills. Also, according to tales, they protected children from danger. It is said that they did evil only if someone annoyed them by betraying the secret that one of their feet had donkey or horse hoofs or goat cloven hoofs.

Fairies can be found in many literary works written by Cro­atian writers, such as Marin Držić, Petar Zoranić, Juraj Barako­vić, and many others. Numerous Croatian writers have produced literary pieces of anthological value inspired by stories about fairies. Among them is Petar Gudelj considered by historians of Croatian literature to be the greatest living Croatian poet. There­fore, paper analyses Petar Gudelj’s collection of poems and prose Zmija mladoženja in search of fairy motifs and compares them to relevant literature and Croatian mythological tales.

Despite the growing influence of social networks on the youth, younger children are still prevalently exposed to television. In particular, motion pictures or animated content is accessible and appealing to children if the pictures are accompanied by voice-overs in their native tongue or if they are based on nonverbal communication, as is the case with the animated series Oddbods. It is short animated film for children of kindergarten or pre-school age, which depicts the everyday life of seven little monsters: Fuse, Pogo, Newt, Bubbles, Jeff, Slick and Zee. Keeping in mind that children nowadays are exposed to the manipulative influence of television, often featuring inappropriate content even by means of animated features, we researched the examples of inappropriate nonverbal communication in The Oddbods Show. Based on the assumption that the episodes of this animated series display examples of inappropriate behavior, the research is based on four main research goals – to calculate the percentage of occurrence of inappropriate content, to detect similar behaviors by way of facial expressions and gestures evident in various states and emotions, to group the detected gestures together and categorise them according to the Oddbods’ attitude and behavior towards food, animals, nature, work, material objects, traffic, etiquette, as well as their mutual relationships, and finally to analyse inappropriate physical contact among two or more Oddbods.
ABOUT THE TEXTBOOK „CRNOGORSKI JEZIK“ FOR THE FIRST, SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE OF THE GYMNASIUM

Published: December 2024

„Crnogorski jezik za prvi, drugi, treći i četvrti razred gimnazije“ (Adnan Čirgić i Jelena Šušanj – first, second and third grade of high school; Adnan Čirgić and Andrijana Deletić-Milačić – fourth grade of high school), Zavod za udžbenike i nastavna sredstva, Podgorica, 2019. In this article, Montenegrin language textbooks for all four grades of high school are analyzed, whose authors are Adnan Čirgić and Jelena Šušanj for the first, second and third grade, and Adnan Čirgić and Andrijana Deletić-Milačić for the fourth grade. A detailed analysis of four textbooks „Crnogorski jezik“ allows us to conclude that the content of all four textbooks efficiently and successfully directs the formation of subject competence of high school students, and especially gives them the abilities to organize the interconnectedness of their knowledge. It also allows them to develop editing, problem solving and decision making skills, and abilities of resolving disagreements and conflicts, independent learning, searching for information and their independent finding, organizing the mutual connection between events in the past and present, critical attitude towards some aspects of society development, culture, active participation in discussion, assessment of social habits and lifestyle. With these textbooks and other similar teaching aids, the Montenegrin language has been given new opportunities to maintain, and probably to form (among some young speakers) a sense of national consciousness of young Montenegrins, so textbooks can be considered very important for achieving communication leadership in the country.

Published: December 2024

Considering the homonymous syntactic structures and ambiguities in the Bosnian language of administration and law, we have examined those examples that are directly connected to the relations among religions, nations and languages, or that are related to the organization of Bosnian society and state, as well as to the national relationships in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Along with a number of cognitive-lingustics aspects in different approach to meaning in language, we are considering the role of syntactic homonymy, not only as potential features of language expression, but also as a intentionally ambiguous syntactic structures.

Ever since the traditional singing with gusle began in Montenegro, various events have been an impetus for the singers-chroniclers. In recent times, new lyrics have been created, decasyllabic rhymings, and so a different style was created than the one used in the old epic heroic songs. Unfortunately, when it was expected that singing with gusle to be raised to an even higher – artistic level, we are witnessing the presence of a growing kitsch that suppresses tha part what made the Montenegrin traditioanl singers famous and respected in the world.
The Development of An Accurate MobileNetV2 Computer Vision Algorithm for the Diagnosis of SARS-COV-2
Authors: Nandam Saketh , Pathuri Rithvik
Published: December 2024

As of August 2024, the World Health Organization reported 238,416 cases of the Coronavirus, also commonly referred to as COVID-19 (WHO, 24). There has been a reported total accumulation of 776,007,137 cases since the pandemic began in March of 2020. This virus spread all around the world killing over 7 million people while deeply harming those who tested positive. ( Furthermore, COVID-19 caused significant economic downfall due to unemployment rates jumping to 5% and the major increases in global inflation. Proper diagnosis of COVID-19 is crucial towards helping society get their required medical assistance. Current traditional methods such as RT-PCR and antigen tests remain widely used, but come with their own limitations. For example, the supply of PCR kits is not sufficient to satisfy the need for rapid testing. Antigen tests have their own shortcomings, and require time to develop results. In order to fix the issue of delays and supply kit shortages, we implemented a computer vision model utilizing MobileNetV2 that inputs a patient’s chest x-ray scan and outputs the covid result. While the model use depends on having an X-ray on hand, it enables rapid diagnosis for the high risk population, which may already have the necessary prerequisites. A model proved to be the most effective approach, as it required far fewer resources without sacrificing diagnosis quality. Our model successfully utilized dependencies and convolutional neural networks to output the result of a COVID chest x-ray scan after intense training and testing. Our product eliminated the need for ineffective methods of diagnosis and proved to be far more accurate.

Evaluation of the dynamics of high-speed rolling stock
Authors: Vorobyov A. A. , Vataev A. S. , Vatulin J. S. , Mayorov V. S. , Tsybulsky A. N.
Published: December 2024

When moving on an overpass, a rolling stock is exposed to a complex combination of air ﬂows formed as a result of displacement and inertial entrainment of air masses by the moving body, as well as lateral air mass ﬂows from the open space. The aerodynamic loading formed in this way diﬀers from the variant of train movement on a high embankment.A numerical simulation of the aerodynamic load on a high-speed train when it moves on overpasses located in areas of intense wind exposure was performed. An assessment of the stability of the rolling stock under the eﬀect of the “drift” phenomenon was carried out: the simultaneous action of a crosswind and inertial pressurization of air masses. Combinations of aerodynamic impact components were determined, under which conditions for an unacceptable decrease in the level of weight load on the running wheels of the bogies are formed. Limit values of the speed mode of train movement were established depending on the aerodynamic load formed under storm conditions.The results of the studies showed the presence of a certain correlation between the level of turbulence of the disturbed air environment in the corridor of movement of a railway vehicle and reactions in the contact groups “running wheels – rail head” of the front and rear bogies.

This study aims to analyze the impact of incentive provision on employee performance improvement at PT. Multi Guna Equipment, Jakarta, with a quantitative approach and descriptive method. Data was collected through a questionnaire filled out by 32 employees, with a Likert scale (1 to 5) to measure the variables of incentive provision and employee performance. The analysis was performed using simple linear regression with SPSS version 26 software.The results revealed a very strong relationship between incentive provision and employee performance, with a correlation coefficient of 0.852. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 72.6% indicates that incentives account for 72.6% of the variation in employee performance, while 27.4% is influenced by other factors that are not studied. The regression equation obtained is Y = 10.643 + 0.833X, suggesting that for every unit increase in incentives, employee performance rises by 0.833. The hypothesis test resulted in a t-value of 8.915, which exceeds the t-table value of 2.042, confirming that the alternative hypothesis is accepted, indicating a significant influence of incentives on employee performance. These results aligns with previous research findings that also demonstrate the significant influence of incentives on employee performance across various organizations. It underscores the importance of providing appropriate incentives to enhance employee motivation and performance, contributing to the achievement of organizational goals.

Topmouth culter (Culter alburnus) is China’s important freshwater economic fish. However, external stressors frequently provoke intense responses, leading to low survival rates and diminished productivity. The absence of stress-related genes has significantly limited our understanding of stress response in this fish. Therefore, 85,846,206 high-quality reads were acquired from kidney, liver, and muscle cDNA libraries of topmouth culter using Illumina sequencing technology in this study. Comparative analysis revealed that 3,158, 409, and 1,952 unigenes were specifically expressed in the kidney, liver, and muscle transcriptome. Additionally, 83 crucial tissue-specific genes were identified within three stress-related GO terms: response to stimulus (GO:0050896), response to stress (GO:0006950) and response to hypoxia (GO:0001666). From these, 18 tissue-specific genes were further isolated. During the short-term stress experiment (two repeated handling stress, including chasing 2 min and netting out of water for 30 sec), significant changes were observed in the cortisol levels of both the treatment and recovery groups. Furthermore, notable changes were noted in the expression of LCP2, PTK2b, and P-selectin genes in the kidney; FABP1, IGFBP1, and CYP4V2 genes in the liver; and MYH10, Myogenin 2 and Troponin C genes in the muscle of topmouth culter in the treatment and recovery groups (P < 0.05). The tissue-specific transcriptome profiles generated in this study offer valuable insights into the molecular and functional mechanisms associated with stress response in topmouth culter. We characterized genes related to stress response in tissues such as the kidney, liver, and muscle; these findings offer novel insights into stress research in fish. We can further explore the breeding of strains with enhanced stress resistance and promote the healthy development of topmouth culter industry.
MALİ YAPISINA ETKİSİ BAKIMINDAN TÜRK VE HOLLANDA HUKUKUNDA KOOPERATİFİN HUKUKİ NİTELİĞİ

Kooperatiflerin sosyal ve ekonomik faydaları olan ortaklık yapılarıdır. Tarihi gelişimi incelendiğinde kooperatiflerin günümüzdeki gibi bir organizasyon yapısı olarak ortaya çıkışının 19. yüzyılın ortalarını bulduğu görülecektir. Bu nedenle çalışmada, öncelikle kooperatifçiliğin kısa tarihi gelişimi incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın odağını Türk ve Hollanda hukuku bakımından kooperatifin hukuki niteliği ve sermayesi ile ilgili hususların nasıl düzenlendiği oluşturmaktadır. Bu bakımdan kanun koyucuların yaptığı kooperatif tanımları önem arz etmektedir. Çünkü bu tanım, kooperatifin kişi ve sermaye unsurunu ve kooperatif tarafından yapılan hukuki işlemlerin tabi olacağı hükümleri belirlemektedir. Türk hukukunda kanun koyucunun kooperatifi şahıs veya sermaye şirketi ayırımına dahil etmemesi bilinçli ve gerekli bir tercihtir. Bu durum ayrıca ülke ekonomilerinin sürdürülebilirliği bakımından da önemlidir. Hollanda hukukunda ise kooperatifler derneğin bir alt türü olarak düzenlenmiş olup, Hollanda Medeni Kanunu ve derneklere ilişkin genel hükümlere tabidir.

This research aims to find out how benevolent sexist attitude is depicted in the Victorian novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. The research incorporates the Ambivalent Sexism Theory that provides a theoretical framework for finding out the benevolent sexist attitude by exploring the narratives, the characters, the relationships and interactions between the characters throughout the novels. The study employs a Qualitative Research Methodology to conduct the research. The necessary data are collected from textbooks, journals, articles, dissertations etc. The study develops a code scheming that focuses on the narratives and interactions between the characters that reveals the benevolent sexist notions. The study will analyse the power dynamics, gender roles, romantic relationships and marriages, social constraints and double standards present in the novel. The result of the study will help to understand the complex nature of power dynamics between men and women in the society. It will also reveal how men and women practice this subtle kind of sexist notions that limits the agency of women within the social construct. It will inspire the future researchers to work on this subtle form of sexism to understand its very nature and the consequences it has on the wider social landscape.

This paper examines the impact of innovative financial technologies on social stability and the possibility of implementing basic guaranteed income (UBI, BGI) as one of the most important elements of social policy in the digital transformation of the economy. Modern financial technologies such as blockchain, digital currencies, artificial intelligence and biometrics are becoming powerful tools for implementing the concept of basic income and improving social protection mechanisms, ensuring transparency, accessibility and efficiency of social benefits distribution.

One of the key aspects of the article is to explore the potential of digital currencies, including innovative forms such as social digital currencies (SDC), to provide direct cash transfers to citizens, especially in the context of economic instability and global crises. Particular attention is paid to analysing the opportunities that digital platforms and cryptocurrencies offer for improving financial inclusion and ensuring equal access to basic social goods.

The author also considers the role of artificial intelligence in data analysis, which makes it possible to create personalised distribution models that take into account the individual needs and socio-economic status of citizens. The introduction of biometric technologies and blockchain systems for identity verification and monitoring of social payments provides new perspectives for combating fraud, improving social security.

In addition, attention is paid to the risks and challenges associated with the digitalisation of social benefits, such as data privacy issues, digital inequality and possible security threats. The article proposes an integrated approach to the regulation and standardisation of financial technologies to ensure fairness and efficiency of social programmes.

Thus, innovative financial technologies open new horizons for the creation of sustainable and equitable social protection systems aimed at improving the quality of life of citizens and fighting poverty. The article emphasises the importance of their integration into existing social policy mechanisms and in further developing the concept of basic income security as a means of ensuring economic security and social justice in the future.
Editar para la educación socialista
Authors: Rivera Mir Sebastián
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo analiza la participación de profesores en la elaboración de diferentes materiales impresos con la finalidad de apoyar los procesos asociados a la escuela socialista, así como fortalecer sus propias posiciones en el ámbito educativo mexicano. Siguiendo a Armando Petrucci, quien ha sugerido el término “operadores de escritura”, se destaca la capacidad de agencia de estos trabajadores, sus prácticas editoriales y los usos que le dieron a sus diferentes productos impresos. A diferencia de la historiografía tradicional centrada exclusivamente en los libros de texto, se enfatiza en la amplitud de esta producción incorporando al análisis folletos, hojas sueltas, guías de estudios, entre otras alternativas. De ese modo, se busca repensar tanto la educación socialismo, como los cambios políticos globales que implicó el periodo cardenista.

The main purpose of the study is to explore the impact of macroeconomic variables, such as GDP growth rate (GDPGR), inflation rate (INF), the real exchange rate (RER), and balance of trade (BOT) on foreign direct investment the FDI in Bangladesh. Data has been gathered from the World Bank's data indicators for the years 1987-2022. Our result shows that there is a significant and positive correlation between the macro variables and FDI. Additionally, the macro variables are co-integrated and have both short-run and long-run relations with FDI. We also observe that there are unidirectional relations of GDP growth and real exchange rate with foreign direct investment. On the contrary, there is a non-directional causality between the balance of trade and FDI along with inflation and FDI. Thus, for attracting foreign investors, the government of Bangladesh and economic policymakers should focus on and critically analyze macroeconomic aspects that highly influence the FDI in Bangladesh.
