Authors:   , Mejía López Rebeca
Published: February 2024

El objetivo de la investigación es explicar cómo se entrelaza en el contexto político e intelectual y, concretamente, en la escritura de las obras históricas de la primera mitad del siglo XIX la discusión de la república y el republicanismo y su relación con los clásicos grecolatinos en tres ejes principales: primero, en la escritura de una historia nacional; el segundo, el republicanismo y buen gobierno frente a la tiranía y, finalmente, la educación como base para el republicanismo. Para ello se explora el estado de la cuestión en dos aspectos principalmente: por un lado, respecto a la historiografía sobre la literatura grecolatina y su impacto en el marco de las Independencias hispanoamericanas y, por el otro, el republicanismo y la escritura de la historia en México durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX.

Authors: Thukral R.
Published: February 2024

In this paper, we introduce a family of pk-order iterative schemes for finding the simple root of a nonlinear algebraic equation of the function fx=0 by using the divided difference approximation. The proposed method uses one evaluation of the function per iteration and can achieve convergence order pk. The error equation and asymptotic convergence constant are proved theoretically and numerically. Numerical examples are included to demonstrate the exceptional convergence speed of the proposed method and thus verify the theoretical results
Factors and Patterns Associated with Juvenile Delinquency with Reference to Juvenile Crimes in India
Authors: Abhishek Raghu , Balamurugan Janarthanan
Published: February 2024

Objectives: This study aims to examine the patterns in juvenile delinquency based on factors including age, gender, offence type, and characteristics used in NCRB reports and to comprehend the various factors that contribute to juvenile crime.
 
Methods: This study was done using the secondary data which was collected from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reports in the year of 2017 to 2021 by the Government of India.
 
Result and discussion: The analysis of the aforementioned data reveals that there is a higher level of juvenile crimes in India especially in various states. It also shows that a  significant proportion of juvenile individuals have unfortunately fallen victim to a multitude of socio-economic pressures, including poverty, inadequate parental guidance, limited access to education, and the influence of peer groups. The crime rate in India has exhibited a notable upward trend over the years, accompanied by a concerning decline in the rate of convictions.
 
Conclusion: The issue of juvenile delinquency necessitates focused consideration and an approach that prioritizes the well-being of children, with an emphasis on safeguarding and proactive measures to prevent their involvement in deviant behaviour.
 
Research Implications: The findings can have implications for policymakers and educators in the realm of pedagogy development. Additionally, it bears relevance for family members and other stakeholders who play a crucial role in fostering the comprehensive growth and development of children.

Recycling Behavior Case of Shkodra, Albania
Authors: Bejleri Emirjeta , Memaj Gentian , Dragusha Blerta
Published: February 2024

Purpose: Urban Waste management has become a very important problem in our country. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and study recycling behavior and determine the factors/variables that influence it.
 
Method: Quantitative methodologies are used for this study using the questionnaire as an instrument. Various authors used the grouping of three variables of the study; situational variables, psychological variables, and environmental values. A questionnaire was created and administered in order to gather data in accordance with the literature review. A final sample of 401 people from the city of Shkodra made up the study's population. In response to the research topic, several hypotheses were created. The analysis was done using SPSS to empirically test the hypotheses.
 
Results: Reduction and reuse are the most effective ways to conserve natural resources, protect the environment, and save money. The more people know about recycling and start changing their behavior, the more they will benefit from waste reduction opportunities. Most individuals perceive the environment in which they live and the positive effects that come from the three Rs as very important, but unfortunately, very few of them take action. Situational variables, which are variables that involve the personal circumstances of individuals at a given point in time, influence recycling behavior. Environmental value does not affect the recycling behavior of individuals but psychological variables affect recycling behavior.
 
Contribution/implications: This project is only a small part of what we all should do for the environment. The sample restricted us from a more detailed study of this behavior, but it was used as a subgroup of the population that we want to generalize. Responsible institutions must pay more attention to the policy of waste management.
“Night Witch”, Warrior Maiden, Soviet Woman: The Image of a Military Pilot in the Literature of Socialist Realism (M. Chechneva My Fighting Friends)
Authors: Zagidulina T. A.
Published: February 2024

Purpose. The article analyses the image of a military pilot in Soviet memoir literature. A lot of research works were devoted to the study of Soviet literature and its figurative system, but no special works have been found that focus on this character. The research material is a book of essays by M. Chechneva My Battle Friends (1968). The author used the method of mythopoetic analysis, as well as a structural-typological approach.

Results. The work substantiates a typological similarity between a pilot and a warrior maiden at the characterological, gender, mythopoetic, allusive, and nominative levels. The study revealed significant elements of the image of a military pilot and associated motives – revenge, delayed marriage. These motifs refer to the inherent gender inversion in such plots, highlight the masculinity of the heroines, a characteristic of the type of female warrior. The image under the study is intertextually connected with Russian epic heroines, which allows us to talk about the traditional nature of the type itself. The semantics of the nomination “night witches” is also analyzed, which paradoxically takes on positive connotations. In addition, specific socialist realist layers were found in the model under consideration – the heroines are characterized by such qualities as discipline, rigor, and calmness.

Conclusion. The image of a military pilot fits into the paradigm of the warrior maiden type, but has some peculiarities. This is due to the artistic method within which the author of the essays worked, as well as to the time of writing the works.
The Image of the Married Woman in Portuguese, Spanish and Russian Proverbs in the Light of Medieval Christian Ethics
Authors: Arsentieva N. , Díaz Ferrero A. M. , Quero Gervilla E. F.
Published: February 2024

Purpose. To examine the portrayal of women in matrimonial contexts through an analysis of 437 proverbs originating from Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian traditions. This study aims to explore how these sayings mirror the cultural, societal, and religious beliefs surrounding women's roles in the institution of marriage.

Results. The study found that the image of women in marriage within these proverbs is consistent across the cultures studied. It highlighted that while the Christian Church promotes chastity, it also endorses marriage to combat sexual promiscuity. Similarities were identified between Southern European and Russian proverbs regarding the spiritual foundation of Christian marriage, the nature of spousal relationships, and the expected qualities of a wife and mother.

Conclusion. Proverbs serve as a cultural repository, mirroring traditions and values shaped by historical and literary influences. The proverbs perpetuate the religious and moral ideals of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, particularly the patriarchal view of marriage. This view enforces a hierarchy within marriage, with the wife subordinated to the husband, who is seen as her spiritual guide and the determinant of roles and responsibilities in the family and the broader society.
Toposes Steppe – City – Plant in A. P. Chekhov’s Prose Poetics of 1890s. The Functions
Authors: Sinyakova L. N.
Published: February 2024

Purpose. The subject of the article is the functional aspect of the major late A. P. Checkhov’s works topics. Steppe, city and plant / factory are polyfunctional space types and concepts.

Results. The steppe topos incorporated into Chekhov’s poetics and concepts in the 1880s, was developing in the 1890s in its existential meaning. The steppe topos in two short stories, At Home and The Petcheneg, represents a disastrous space. The main character of the first story, Vera Kardina, realizes her regress into wildness; the protagonist of the se cond story would never realize it. So, Vera’s decision is to be useful in her local social life; the Petcheneg, on contrary, is metaphorically dead.

The city topos is investigated in its major variant “the province”. The genius of the place is narrow-minded hypocrisy, total distrust and boredom. Misayl Poloznev, the personage of My Life, lives his own life in spite of the common way of living. Doctor Startsev, the protagonist of Ionych, could not overcome a city’s inertia of deindividualization.

The plant / factory topos marks a place of machinery, antagonistic to any human – proprietors and workers. In the novella A Woman’s Kingdom the plant’s master is unhappy and lonesome, in A Doctor’s Visit the factory symbolizes a devil. A young lady, the proprietor, is ready to leave the place and seek her own path.

Conclusion. Toposes the steppe, the city and the plant have a triple function. The first is a plot function (the action catalysator), the second is a conceptual (generation of negative senses), the third is architectonic (values structure).
Akathist Hymn in the East Slavonic Literature of the 15th – 16th Centuries: On the Problem of the Existence of Russian Version
Authors: Borisova T. S.
Published: February 2024

Purpose. The paper presents the results of a textological investigation of the Church Slavonic translation of the Akathist Hymn – the masterpiece of the Byzantine hymnography – based on East Slavic manuscripts of the 15th – 16th centuries. The author examined textological data proving the existence in the Russian area of a special (unknown n the South Slavic territories) version of the Akathist Hymn. The problems concerning the process of the appearance and the existence of that version in the East Slavic written tradition are discussed in the work.

Results. That distinct version is presumably attributed to Metropolitan Cyprian (1330–1406) basing on the attribution of the manuscripts containing its full form, its South Slavic protograph (that fact was also proved with the usage of textological methods), as well as the language features of the corrections to the text of the hymn. Due to textological data it is also supposed that the correction to the text of the Akathist was performed by Cyprian after he had come to Rus and worked on the correction to the Psalter. The compiling process of the certain version of the Akathist with the Athonite version, that existed simultaneously in Rus, explains the diversity of textual traditions of the Akathist Hymn presented in Russian manuscripts of the 15th – 16th centuries.
Do Innovative Enterprises Need More Funding? Studying Russian Enterprises
Authors: Maarouf Ali Faissal , Korableva O. N.
Published: February 2024

The availability of financial resources is of crucial importance for an enterprise. The enterprise can utilize these resources to introduce innovations that enhance its growth and competitiveness. The paper is dedicated to studying the relationship between the innovation activities of the enterprises and their demand for external financial resources. The considered innovation activities include introducing product innovation or process innovation and conducting research and development (R&D) activities. The analysis bases on data from the World Bank enterprise survey conducted for Russian enterprises. The authors define the enterprises that have a demand for external financial resources and utilize a quasi-binomial model to study the relationship. The results demonstrate that the relationship between the necessity for external funding and innovation outputs depends on the type of innovation output. This relationship differs by the enterprise size and industry type, as well. Nevertheless, enterprises that seek external funding tend to conduct fewer R&D activities. The importance of the current research stems from the fact that mainstream literature has concentrated on studying the relationship between innovation activities and financial constraints. In contrast, the relationship between these activities and the demand of the enterprise for additional financial resources is still unclear.
The Role of Behavioral Principles in the Functioning of Mesoeconomic Systems (Using the Example of Russian Technology Parks)
Authors: Yagolnitser M. A. , Kolobova E. A.
Published: February 2024

The effectiveness of the technopark’s functioning depends to a great extent on the quality of its management bodies. The article analyzes two of the most common management models: the short-term vision strategy model (technoparks as some kind of public services that ensure the emergence of innovative enterprises) and the long-term vision strategy model (technoparks not only as service providers to residents and other participants, but also as creators of a favorable business environment together with the state, universities and research organizations). Since the building of the organizational structure of management takes place in the existing institutional environment of the functioning of technoparks, a wide range of behavioral capabilities of management subjects arises.

The purpose of the work is to analyze the behavior of management companies and resident companies of technoparks from the standpoint of behavioral and experimental economics, introduced into scientific circulation by Nobel laureates D. Kahneman and V. Smith, R. Thaler.

The methodology of the study is based on a statistical analysis of the indicators of the VII National Rating of technoparks of Russia, presented on the GISIP platform of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. Methods of multivariate statistical analysis of the sample structure and identification of correlations of indicators are used.

Results. The main model of innovative business development in Russian technoparks (more than 60% of the surveyed) participating in the rating is the short-term development model. Within its framework, management companies, limited by institutional requirements, adhere to the strategy of maximizing profitability from development activities in their behavior. The high risks of innovation activity of resident companies and the behavior of the management companies of technoparks, striving individually to achieve their goals, do not contribute to the realization of the general goal – the development of innovative business in the country. Examples of technoparks are given, in which the mechanisms of interaction between management companies and resident companies are revealed.
A validated real-time PCR test for simultaneous detection of Gallus gallus and Meleagris gallopavo in feed instead of an impossible poultry test
Authors: Marien Aline , Fumière Olivier , Roetschi Alexandra , Maljean Julien , Berben Gilbert
Published: February 2024

Description of the subject. Use of all processed animal proteins (PAPs) in animal feeds was banned in the EU due to the outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). This total feed ban was progressively lifted for non-ruminant PAPs from 2013 onwards. Use of ruminant PAPs in feed remains totally prohibited. In order to extend the reintroduction of poultry PAPs in pig feed, and of pig PAPs in poultry feed, as recently decided, poultry species and pig detection tests were required to check that there is no intra-specific recycling. Objectives. In this study, we describe the official EURL-AP real-time PCR method for the simultaneous detection of chicken (Gallus gallus L.) and turkey (Meleagris gallopavo L.), the two most widely used poultry species in PAPs. Method. Classic quality criteria for the validation of a PCR method are considered. A cut-off is required for the interpretation of results. Transferability was tested through an interlaboratory study. Results. The developed PCR assay amplifies an 84 bp fragment encompassing the mitochondrial DNA on 12S ribosomal RNA, tRNA-Val and 16S ribosomal RNA sequences. The qualitative method was successfully assessed for several performance criteria: specificity, sensitivity, efficiency and robustness. The applicability of the test was verified on poultry PAPs and on compound feed containing 0.1% in mass fraction of poultry PAPs. An interlaboratory validation study demonstrated that the proposed real-time PCR method is transferable. Conclusions. The combined chicken-turkey real-time PCR assay is fit for the purpose of detecting poultry PAPs.

Large- to ultra-large-scale synthesis of nucleic acids is becoming an increasingly important tool for understanding and manipulating biological systems, as well as for developing new technologies based on engineered biological materials, including DNA-based nanofabrication, aptamers and writing digital data at the molecular level. Several technologies for large-scale synthesis have been developed over the years, but all of them remain inaccessible to most researchers due to their complexity and/or use of proprietary technologies. Here, we present a fully open source, benchtop device for ultra-large scale nucleic acid synthesis that is also highly flexible and adaptable, able to accommodate a wide range of monomers and chemistries, while providing unrestricted access to synthesis parameter space.

The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) is one of the central elements of the endocannabinoid system regulating a variety of signaling cascades. Extensive efforts on CB1R have validated its essential roles in physiology such as appetite regulation, pain perception, memory formation, and thermoregulation. Yet, there is a surprising lack of clear understanding of its cellular signaling, distribution, and expression dynamics. CB1R visualization in real-time is therefore crucial for addressing these open questions in cannabinoid research. Using various highly selective drug-like CB1R ligands with a defined pharmacological profile, we investigated their potential for constructing CB1R fluorescent probes by a reverse design-approach. A modular design concept with a diethyl glycine-based building block as centerpiece allowed the straightforward modular synthesis of novel probe candidates. Supported by computational docking studies, this systematic approach led to the identification of novel pyrrole-based CB1R fluorescent probes. The probes demonstrated CB1R selectivity in radioligand binding profiling and inverse agonist activity in a cAMP assay. Application in time-resolved fluorescence resonance target-engagement studies and CB1R live cell imaging exemplify the great versatility of the tailored pyrrole-based fluorescent probes. These validated fluorescent probes aim to deepen the understanding of mechanistic aspects of CB1R localization, trafficking, and activation essential for the function and role of this receptor in pathological conditions.

Writing About Writing: Reading Academia Anew
Authors: Norris Trevor
Published: February 2024

Since the inauguration of the first European universities in the medieval era, at Bologna in 1088 and Oxford in 1096, and before that, al-Qarawiyyin in 859 in Fez, Morocco, Nalanda University in 5th century India, and Taixue University in China in 156, universities have been places of publishing, writing, and disseminating scholarly ideas. Socrates, who himself wrote nothing, worried in 400 B.C.E. that writing would weaken the mind, promote forgetfulness (Ong, 2002), and allow for the pretention of knowledge rather than the real thing, “the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom” (Plato, 370 B.C.E./1901,Phaedrus, section 275a).
Well-Being Literacy in the Academic Landscape: Trioethnographic Inquiry Into Scholarly Writing
Authors: Narelle Lemon  , Jacqui Francis  , Lisa M. Baker
Published: February 2024

Writing well and being well as academic writers is rarely spoken about, often hidden, and at times evaded. We believe that developing, maintaining, and growing well-being literacy not only engages the act but also allows awareness, reflection, and metacognitive thinking that enable mindful writing for well-being. Well-being literacy, the capacity to understand and employ well-being language for personal, collective, and global well-being, intrigues us. It encompasses nurturing, sustaining, and safeguarding well-being for individuals, groups, and systems to thrive. As scholars delving into well-being literacy, we, a diverse collective from across higher education career trajectories, investigate its role in scholarly writing and our academic realities. Our focus lies in unraveling the paradoxes inherent in higher education, particularly as researchers and writers. In this paper, we examine our own stories as a trioethnography and the impact of our writing practices on our own professional and personal lives. By doing so, we reveal the place of vulnerability, relationships, and meaning in who we are and are becoming as academic scholars. Guiding principles are shared with peers and colleagues in how they might cultivate writing practices while valuing and embodying well-being in the higher education space.

Published: February 2024

Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological, demographic, clinical features, treatment approaches, and survival of patients followed up for adrenal incidentaloma. Methods: Data from 46 patients who were treated and followed up due to adrenal incidentaloma in the Endocrinology Department of Mersin University Health Research and Application Hospital between 2010 and 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of the cases included in the study, 13 were male, 33 were female, and the mean age was 54.09 ± 10.7 years. The most common reason for admission was abdominal pain in 34.78% of the patients, the most commonly diagnosed radiological method was dynamic adrenal CT in 60.87%, and the most common location was the left adrenal gland. The mean lesion diameter was between 26.8 ± 16.5 mm. The frequency of hypertension was 50%, obesity 47.8%, type 2 diabetes 21.7%, osteoporosis 42.8%, and metabolic syndrome 41.3%. According to hormonal evaluation results, non-functional adrenal adenoma (NFAA) was found in 82.61%, subclinical Cushing’s syndrome (SCS) in 15.21%, and aldosteronoma in 2.1%. Myelolipoma, pheochromocytoma, and adrenocortical adenoma were diagnosed in 8 cases undergoing adrenalectomy. One patient died due to liver failure. No hormonal activation or growth in lesion size was detected during the follow-up of the patients. Conclusion: Due to the very different pathological and radiological appearances of adrenal incidentaloma, it is important to evaluate demographic, etiological, clinical, laboratory, and radiological data as a whole in the treatment and follow-up.
Chinese Legislation and Theoretical Basis for Patent Parallel Import: Consideration of Parallel Import of Pharmaceutical Patents During the Pandemic
Authors: Gao Hua
Published: February 2024

The current Chinese Patent Law permits parallel import, but its theoretical basis is disputed. Neither theprinciple of domestic exhaustion of rights nor the principle of international exhaustion of rights can be used as thetheoretical basis to support parallel import. Chinese legislation can set aside the traditional dispute between the principleof exhaustion of rights and the principle of territoriality, support parallel import in principle, and make exceptions in whichparallel import can be prohibited if the parallel importer violates the contract or authorization agreement or conductsunfair competition to damage the legitimate rights and interests of the patentee or the consumer. The primary objective oflegislation on parallel imports of pharmaceutical patented products should be better protection of public health. Permittingparallel import of patented medicine is of utmost significance to decrease the price of patented drugs and expand theaccessibility of drugs. However, we should also prevent the import of fake and inferior goods. China should be cautiousabout permitting the parallel import of “repackaged” pharmaceutical patented products in legislation and law enforcement.Regarding administrative enforcement, the customs should set up special supervision authorities for patent import andexport, and standardize the enforcement procedure for parallel import.

Published: February 2024

The field of chemistry has become one of the abstract sciences, particularly in the context of acid-base materials, thus requiring the integration of multiple representations. Incomplete multiple representation abilities in students can lead to difficulties in understanding acid-base materials. Therefore, this research aims to analyze (1) the level of students' multiple representation abilities in acid-base materials and (2) the differences in the levels of multiple representation abilities between male and female students. The research method used is a comparative ex-post facto approach with a quantitative approach. The research instruments include test questions based on the DAC framework and interview sheets. The results of this research are as follows: (1) the average level of multiple representation abilities is 20%, categorized as very poor. The percentages of multiple representation abilities based on the DAC framework are 29% for definition, 18% for algorithmic, and 20% for conceptual. The highest percentage in the DAC framework indicators is D-R at 32%, the lowest percentage is C-O at 11%. (2) There is a difference in the levels of multiple representation abilities between male and female students, as evidenced by the results of the Mann-Whitney U test, with an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 ≤ 0.05.

The compound exhibits incongruent solubility and is synthesized using an equimolar ratio of l-cysteine and phosphorous acid. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121. The dimeric (l-CysH···l-Cys) cation is formed due to a strong O-H···O hydrogen bond with an O···O distance of 2.498 (2) Å. Phosphite anions in the structure are linked to infinite chains. An IR spectrum is recorded and discussed based on its structure.
La estructuración social del razonamiento en nichos de desarrollo
Authors: Sarabia López Saúl , Martínez Muñoz Sergio
Published: February 2024

Aunque algunas teorías del razonamiento reconocen su dimensión social, mantienen un individualismo cognitivo que limita la integración de preguntas sobre qué es el razonamiento y su origen evolutivo. La teoría interaccionista de Mercier y Sperber destaca la necesidad de una explicación evolutiva para comprender el razonamiento, pero su subyacente individualismo cognitivo no explica la importancia de la estructura narrativa. Sostenemos que las limitaciones de teorías que asumen un individualismo cognitivo provienen del modelo adaptacionista de la evolución que trata la cognición como una capacidad individual. A través de un modelo evolutivo que considera los nichos de desarrollo como la unidad de evolución (bio-social), caracterizamos el razonamiento principalmente como un logro social, desarrollándose mediante (proto)narrativas que siguen normas implícitas en prácticas.

Batıyla irtibatın artarak psikoloji ve sosyoloji gibi modern ilimlerin yaygınlaşmasıyla toplumdan bireye doğru bir geçiş gözlenmiş, soyut kavramların analizi edebiyatta kendine yer bulmaya başlamıştır. Yazarın kişisel tercih ve deneyimleriyle şekillendiği bu romanlarda, toplumdan ziyade bireyin inşası hedeflenmiş, varoluşçu felsefenin savunduğu irade ön plana çıkmıştır. İkinci dönem roman yazarları arasında toplumsal ve bireysel konuları fantastik ve mizah içeren üslupla sorunsallaştırması yanında gerçekçi formlarla da ele alan Yûsuf es-Sibâî’nin çağdaşları arasında Necîp Mahfûz’dan sonra özel bir yere sahip olduğu söylenmelidir. Konuyu sağlam dokuması, somut ve soyut kavramları bir araya getirmedeki ustalığı ve toplumu inşa etmede takındığı sorumlulukla karakterize edilebilecek olan es-Sakkâ Mate (Sâki Öldü, 1952) adlı eseri muhtemelen yerel dili ağırlıkla kullanması nedeniyle dikkatlerden kaçmıştır. Bu çalışmada roman, içeriğinde yer alan yaşam, ölüm, aile, eğitim, dostluk gibi kavramlar etrafında değerlendirilecek bireyin inşası için hedeflediği dizin analiz edilecektir.

Authors: Smagowicz Justyna , Szwed Cezary
Published: February 2024

The paper aims to show the possibilities of using modern information technologies in production management. Successive stages of production process preparation and implementation are characterized. Information technologies that are currently being implemented in manufacturing enterprises are discussed. The focus was on the part of the process related to the product's manufacture. The paper presents the concepts of two methodological approaches to the adoption of modern information technologies: the top-down approach and the bottom-up approach. The successive stages of each of these approaches are discussed. The advantage of the top-down approach is the ability to comprehensively implement various technologies, and the disadvantage is the significant level of resource commitment. The advantage of the bottom-up approach is the high efficiency of the proposed solution, and the disadvantage is the limitation of application to projects of limited size. The proposed approaches have been verified using the example of two companies: the automotive and the control automation industries. There are correlations between the choice of the methodology used and the type and extent of implementation of the technology in question. The study's key conclusion is that both approaches are applicable in practice. The most important thing in the decision-making phase is to identify the barriers and constraints related to the organization's maturity to use a given technology. Enterprises can use the study results to help them prepare for their digital transformation.
Challenges of industrial systems in terms of the crucial role of humans in the Industry 5.0 environment

The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) means the ubiquitous digitization of economic processes using more economical and efficient production technologies. Orientation to productivity, flexibility and low production costs results in a slow process of dehumanization of industry and concentration only on implementing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) digital technologies. A natural consequence of this trend is the concern of governments, employees and communities about new challenges and the importance of man in the economic ecosystem. The hope is the emergence of a new industry concept suggested by the European Commission (EU), which expands the components of the existing I4.0 concept to include human-centric, environmental and resilience aspects. Industry 5.0 (I5.0) is an excellent alternative to the development of today's digital and dehumanized world.

The article aims to identify the key research areas related to the formation of the role of the human being and the safe work environment in implementing the I5.0 concept. The article analyzes the research areas related to implementing the I5.0 concept based on a systematic review of the literature indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Identifies key issues related to the role of humans in the I5.0 environment. In addition, the priority directions for developing the identified research areas and their impact on forming a safe work environment are determined based on the knowledge of experts with experience in implementing digital technologies of the 4IR.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde hemşirelik öğrencilerinin uzaktan eğitime ilişkin olumlu/olumsuz deneyimleri ve hemşirelik eğitiminde uzaktan eğitimin etkinliğine yönelik düşüncelerini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Nitel araştırma türünde fenomenolojik yaklaşımla yürütülen çalışmada veriler bir devlet üniversitesinde 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim yılında öğrenim gören 14 hemşirelik öğrencisinden Tanıtıcı Özellikler Soru Formu ve Yarı Yapılandırılmış Bireysel Görüşme Formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler araştırmacılar tarafından tümevarım yaklaşımı ve içerik analizi yapılarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalamasının 20.71±1.32 yıl olduğu, %71.4’ünün kadın, %21.4’ünün birinci, %28.6’sının ikinci, %21.4’ünün üçüncü ve %28.6’sının dördüncü sınıfta öğrenim gördüğü belirlenmiştir. Nitel verilerin içerik analizi sonucunda uzaktan eğitimin avantajları, uzaktan eğitimin dezavantajları, kazanımlar, güçlükler, endişeler ve öneriler olmak üzere altı tema oluşturulmuştur.
Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin uzaktan eğitimde elde ettikleri avantajlar ve kazanımların dezavantaj ve güçlüklere oranla daha az olduğu söylenebilir. Teknolojik altyapı gereksinimi, derslerin işleyiş şeklinin yüz yüze eğitimden farklı olması ve öğrencilerin iç ve dış motivasyonları bunu etkileyen önemli faktörlerdendir. Mevcut ortamda pandemi büyük oranda sona ermiş gibi görünse de gelecekte farklı nedenlerle yine küresel bir krizle karşılaşılması olasılığına karşı hemşirelik eğitimi veren yükseköğretim kurumlarının acil durum planları olmalıdır.
Toward Open Science in Marketing Research
Authors: Deer Lachlan , Adler Susanne Jana , Datta Hannes , Mizik Natalie , Sarstedt Marko
Published: February 2024

The open science paradigm has gained prominence in marketing as researchers seek to enhance the validity, reliability, and transparency of research methods and findings. Journals and institutions increasingly encourage or require open science practices, and many authors have started to adapt to and meet these new research and publishing expectations. We provide guidance for the effective implementation of open science practices in empirical marketing research across each subdiscipline, tailored to the unique methodological approaches and challenges inherent to their specific research contexts. Successful integration of these practices into academic marketing research will require concerted and collaborative efforts among authors, journals, institutions, and funding agencies. We argue that the gradual, thoughtful adoption of these principles and practices will improve the quality and efficiency of scientific discovery.
