REGARDING THE NEED TO APPLY THE THEORY OF LEGAL FICTION WHEN DEFINING THE CONCEPT OF “CRYPTOCURRENCY”
Authors:   National University “Odesa Law Academy”, Podtserkovnyi O.P. , Mogyl L.S. ,   National University “Odesa Law Academy”
Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to the legal analysis of the concept of cryptocurrency in the context of the need to harmonize its legal and economic characteristics. The economic content of cryptocurrencies has been studied, taking into account the fact that they were created specifically to perform economic functions — decentralized storage and circulation of value. It is substantiated that the presence of decentralized principles of cryptocurrency emission through mining and the existence of blockchain technologies and cryptographic algorithms do not allow the state to establish legal features of cryptocurrency through traditional legal forms of defining a certain subject as a means of payment. It was concluded that cryptocurrency couldn’t be defined as an intangible good, regulated by the Civil Code of Ukraine, because of the economic purpose of cryptocurrency as a means of circulation and preservation of value. It is proposed a legal approach to cryptocurrency, which would allow incorporating cryptocurrency into the national legal system and circulation operations, prevent shadow operations and the legalization of “dirty funds”. In this context, it is proposed to approach cryptocurrency as ejusdem generis, bringing the understanding of cryptocurrencies closer to other things. The possibility of recognizing of cryptocurrency as the right of claim characteristic of non-cash money is denied. Unlike electronic money, cryptocurrencies do not mediate the payment obligation and the right to demand. It was concluded that cryptocurrency should be defined, taking into account the theory of legal fiction, an interchangeable type of virtual asset in the form of an encrypted electronic record, the emission and accounting of which is performed decentralized on the basis of distributed ledger technology and cryptographic algorithms, which is an object of property rights and can perform circulation and accumulation functions.
LEGAL REGULATHION OF PLANNING OF NEW SETTLEMENTS IN THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE IN THE POST-WAR PERIOD
Authors:   Academy of Labour, Social Relations and Tourism, Potapenko S.A.
Published: May 2023

The article highlights the main problems of legal regulation of the planning and construction of new settlements in the light of the recovery of Ukraine from the consequences of the war. The legal status of the settlement as a settlement system and administrative-territorial unit is considered. It has been analyzed that the design of new settlements on the territory of Ukraine in the post-war period will be carried out in the status of a future comprehensively populated territory. It is considered that proposals and justifications for the planning and development of new settlements can be provided by programs for the comprehensive restoration of the region or the territory of the territorial community, planning schemes for the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, regions and districts, as well as a comprehensive plan for the spatial development of the territory of the territorial community. It is emphasized that the urban planning documentation of the regional level, the documentation on the spatial development and restoration of the territory of the territorial community can only contain proposals regarding the feasibility of building new settlements, their preliminary financial and economic calculation and proposals on the sources of financing such measures. It is argued that the planning and development of new settlements should be carried out by developing master plans. It was found that the planning of a settlement without an approved name, registration in the accounting data and code of the Codifier of administrativeterritorial units and territories of territorial communities is currently impossible due to gaps in legal regulation. In this regard, it was emphasized the need to take into account the experience of foreign countries in the reconstruction of settlements in Ukraine in the post-war period. The need to regulate at the level of normative legal acts the procedure for selecting the territory for the planning and development of new settlements with the definition of urban planning requirements taking into account the natural, climatic and other conditions of the area of their future development is substantiated. Formulated proposals for the improvement of urban planning legislation.

Published: May 2023

Let Rm = Fq [y] = /〈ym - 1〉, where m|q - 1. In this paper, we obtain the structure of linear and cyclic codes over Rm. Also, we introduce a preserving-orthogonality Gray map from Rm to Fmq. Among the main results, we obtain the exact structure of self-orthogonal cyclic codes over Rm to introduce parameters of quantum codes from cyclic codes over Rm.
On the Fischer matrices of a group of shape 21+2n + :G
Authors: Prins Abraham Love
Published: May 2023

In this paper, the Fischer matrices of the maximal subgroup G = 21+8+ : (U4(2):2) of U6(2):2 will be derived from the Fischer matrices of the quotient group Q = G/Z(21+8+) = 28 : (U4(2):2), where Z(21+8+) denotes the center of the extra-special 2-group 21+8+. Using this approach, the Fischer matrices and associated ordinary character table of G are computed in an elegantly simple manner. This approach can be used to compute the ordinary character table of any split extension group of the form 21+2n+ :G, n ∈ N, provided the ordinary irreducible characters of 21+2n+ extend to ordinary irreducible characters of its inertia subgroups in 21+2n+:G and also that the Fischer matrices M(gi) of the quotient group 21+2n+ :G/Z(21+2n+) = 22n:G are known for each class representative gi in G.

Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade microbiológica da carne bovina moída por meio de um estudo metanalítico. Para o estudo metanalítico, utilizou-se como base de dados o Google Scholar Brasil, concentrando-se no período de busca entre outubro de 2020 e junho de 2021. Foram avaliados 108 estudos científicos com as variáveis analisadas referentes a contagens de bactérias mesófilas, bactérias psicrotróficas, coliformes totais, coliformes termotolerantes, Staphylococcus aureus e Salmonella sp. em unidade formadora de colônia por grama de carne (UFC.g-1). Os dados foram submetidos a uma análise descritiva e distribuição normal por histograma de frequência. As contagens de bactérias mesófilas apresentaram uma média de 3,09 UFC.g-¹ com coeficiente de variação de 68,53%. As bactérias psicrotróficas apresentaram 27,27% dos dados levantados próximos a 5,60 UFC.g-1. Com relação aos coliformes termotolerantes, 40% dos dados levantados estavam com contagens entre 0,90 e 40% em 3,10 UFC.g-1. Oito estudos apresentaram efeitos (P < 0,001) sobre a presença se Salmonella sp. na carne moída, sendo este estudo metanalítico classificado como heterogêneo (Chi² = 80,39; P < 0,001) e com inconsistência alta (I² = 81%). A metanálise constatou baixa contagem de bactérias mesófilas e Staphylococcus aureus em pesquisas brasileiras que abordassem a qualidade microbiológica da carne moída bovina. Estudos metanalíticos como o proposto são necessários para identificar os problemas relacionados à transmissão de doenças em alimentos. Observou-se que, nos achados brasileiros, Staphylococcus aureus e mesófilos foram encontrados em menor quantidade, com maior presença de Samonella sp.

Published: May 2023

The aim of this article is to empirically identify and analyse the differences between generations X, Y and Z in terms of values and patterns of thinking in the workplace. For the purposes of achieving the set objective, quantitative studies were performed. Data were obtained with the use of the MindSonar psychometric test. The results were subjected to a statistical analysis, and 435 economically active respondents took part in the study. The study shows that there are numerous statistically significant differences in preferred values and patterns of thinking among representatives of various generations (the differences occur in 2 out of the 7 measured levels of existence and their corresponding values, and in 9 out of the 32 measured patterns of thinking, or metaprograms). The obtained results may help HR managers and specialists focus on real, diagnosed differences in employees, which may be used for determining and communicating organisational priorities for current and future employees.
The tipping point for engagement in professional supervision by physiotherapy private practitioners
Authors: Holder Laura , Windross Kiri , Kayes Nicola M.
Published: May 2023

The aim of this study was to explore the experience and perspectives of physiotherapists working in private practice in New Zealand regarding their decision to engage (or not) in professional supervision (PS). There is a scarcity of research on PS in the physiotherapy profession, despite recommendations by Physiotherapy New Zealand that all physiotherapists should engage in this professional development activity. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology, eight participants were interviewed who identified as either (1) having never experienced PS, or (2) previously but no longer engaged in PS, or (3) currently engaged in PS. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Four themes were constructed: (1) PS and the capitalistic lens, (2) PS is not normal, (3) professional identity and vulnerability, and (4) the relationship in the supervisory context. The drive for increased productivity, cost-effectiveness, and, ultimately, profit continues to dictate practice habits. PS can require the practitioner to share uncertainties about practice, creating a tension in maintaining one's professional identity and credibility which can deter engagement. Balancing professional identity and vulnerability requires the supervisor to create a safe space for recipients to navigate these tensions and sustain their engagement in the process. A significant shift in practice habits and the value ascribed to PS would be required before PS is likely to be normalised as part of physiotherapy private practice culture.

KNOWLEDGE, CREATIVITY AND PRODUCTIVITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF USAGE-BASED FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS
Authors: FURTADO DA CUNHA Maria Angélica , CEZARIO Maria Maura
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT In this article, we discuss the notions of linguistic knowledge, creativity, and productivity as they are conceived in Functional Linguistics and in Construction Grammar, also reviewing, more briefly, these concepts in Generative Grammar. In this sense, we revisit the posture that different linguists adopt in relation to these notions, confronting them and highlighting their divergences. We relate each of the concepts to the specific theoretical assumptions of each model of analysis, also pointing out the evolution that such notions have gone through over time, which results from the development of Linguistics as a science. We characterize the construction and its properties, and under the framework of constructionist models, we relate creativity and productivity to the property of schematicity. Finally, based on Usage-based Functional Linguistics, we examine the transitive and the VAdjADV e VAdj-mente constructions of Brazilian Portuguese to illustrate the role of creativity and productivity and communicative and cognitive factors that motivate new uses of these constructions.

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the adequacy of affordances in the home environment of children at risk of developmental delay and to identify factors associated with their frequency. Methods: The cross-sectional study included 97 families who responded to the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development — Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) for 3–18 months (n=63), or AHEMD – Self-Report (AHEMD-SR) for 18–42 months (n=34). The Mann-Whitney U test was used to identify the differences between the frequencies of affordances between the groups. Multiple linear regression was used to verify the association between the child’s sex, mother’s marital status, education, socioeconomic level, child and mother’s ages, house residents’ number, per capita income, and AHEMD scores (α=0.05). Results: The home affordances’ frequency in the AHEMD-IS ranged from less than adequate to excellent, while in the AHEMD-SR, the highest predominance was medium. The offer of stimuli in the AHEMD-IS was significantly higher. Higher socioeconomic level and house residents’ number were associated with greater affordances. Conclusions: The higher the socioeconomic level and house residents’ number, the greater the affordances in the homes of children at risk of delay. It is necessary to provide families with some alternatives to make their home environments richer in affordances that favor child development.
Verbenaceae in Itacolomi State Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil: richness, geographical distribution, and a new synonym for Stachytarpheta commutata
Authors: Silva Vitor Araújo da , Cardoso Pedro Henrique , Echternacht Livia
Published: May 2023

Abstract Verbenaceae includes 32 genera and approximately 800 species distributed mainly in the Neotropical region, especially diversified in Brazil, where the campo rupestre stands out as an important vegetation type for the family. The Itacolomi State Park (ISP) is located in the southeast of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais state (MG), Brazil. Vegetation at the Park is composed of campo rupestre and forest remnants among degraded areas. The present research provides a floristic treatment of Verbenaceae in this protected area. Data were obtained from fieldwork and herbarium study. A total of 13 species were recorded: Glandularia phlogiflora, Lantana camara, Lantan fucata, Lantana tiliaefolia, Lantana trifolia, Lippia brasiliensis, Lippia hermannioides, Lippia origanoides, Petrea volubilis, Stachytarpheta cayennensis, Stachytarpheta commutata, Verbena litoralis and Verbena rigida. Among them, six are new records for the ISP. Stachytarpheta glabra, endemic to MG, was found in an area of canga very close to the boundaries of the Park. Additionally, S. viscidula, whose type locality is close to the Park, is proposed as a new synonym for S. commutata, whose type specimen comes from the Park. We provide an identification key, descriptions, photographs and comments on taxonomy, ecology and distribution for each species.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Myrtaceae is a diverse family in Brazil and the sixth most representative family in the Atlantic Forest. In Paraná, the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu (ParNa Iguaçu) is a large National Park and also one of the largest remnants of this phytogeographic domain. The objective of the present study was to carry out a floristic inventory of the Myrtaceae of the ParNa Iguaçu, presenting an identification key to the species, illustrations, conservation status evaluation, and comments on geographic distribution and phenology. The collections were carried out between May 2019 and March 2020 in two areas composed of Seasonal Semideciduous Forest and a transitional area to Mixed Ombrophilous Forest. In addition to the samples collected by us, material from other herbaria were also examined. Twenty-five native species and one exotic species of Myrtaceae were found, distributed in seven genera. Eugenia was the most representative genus with 11 species. Of the 26 species, seven are new occurrences for ParNa Iguaçu. From the samples collected in this research and other records in the northwest and west regions of the state of Paraná, the presence of Psidium striatulum in Seasonal Semideciduous Forest is confirmed. Eugenia myrciariifolia was the only species on Brazil’s endangered species list, the IUCN conservation status of which is Endangered (EN). The other species were considered as Least Concern (LC), but some of these species are restricted to certain areas or types of vegetation. Therefore, we conclude that ParNa Iguaçu contributes to the maintenance of these species in their natural environment.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the correlation between the results obtained on the SEAL and the Bayley III Scale and compare babies with and without delay in language acquisition at 24 months concerning the performance obtained by them and their mothers on the SEAL from 3 to 24 months. Methods The SEAL collection consists of 15-minute footages of 45 babies aged from 3 to 24 months old in interaction with their mothers, who were assessed by two trained speech therapists for the use of the SEAL. At 24 months, the 45 babies were assessed using the Bayley III Scale and the item language was selected to classify them with and without delay. These results were statistically analyzed through a Pearson’s correlation test and a Fisher's exact test. Results In average, eighteen signs of typical development as we obtained, while a mean of 12 delay signs were found. By comparing the presence and absence of signs between the groups with and without delay in language acquisition, eight signs from the baby and one from the mother differed statistically in the sample. The analysis using the SEAL for cases of delay showed that the maternal factor was as important as the infant factor to understand the babies’ language functioning. Conclusion There was a significant correlation between the SEAL performance from 3 to 24 months and the language outcome at 24 months assessed by the Bayley III Scale in this sample.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a correlação entre resultados obtidos no Sinais Enunciativos de Aquisição da Linguagem (SEAL) e na Escala Bayley III e comparar bebês com e sem atraso na aquisição da linguagem aos 24 meses no desempenho obtido por ele e sua mãe no SEAL dos 3 aos 24 meses. Método A coleta do SEAL constou de filmagens de 45 bebês, realizadas nas faixas etárias de 3 a 24 meses em interação com suas mães, com duração de 15 minutos, que foram avaliados por duas fonoaudiólogas treinadas no uso do SEAL. Aos 24 meses, os 45 bebês foram avaliados pela Escala Bayley III e selecionado o item linguagem para classificá-los com e sem atraso. Sobre tais resultados realizaram-se as análises estatísticas com o teste de correlação de Pearson e o teste exato de Fisher. Resultados Obtiveram-se as médias de sinais no desenvolvimento típico que foi 18 sinais e, em casos de atraso, a média foi de 12 sinais. Na comparação da relação de presença e ausência dos sinais entre os grupos com e sem atraso na aquisição da linguagem, oito sinais do bebê e um da mãe diferiram estatisticamente na amostra. O fator materno apresentou-se tão importante quanto o infantil na compreensão do funcionamento de linguagem dos bebês na análise realizada com o SEAL nos casos de atraso. Conclusão Houve correlação significativa entre o desempenho no SEAL entre 3 e 24 meses e o desfecho de linguagem aos 24 meses avaliado pela Escala Bayley III nesta amostra.

Published: May 2023

Resumo Introdução Durante o envelhecimento ocorrem modificações no corpo humano, as quais aumentam a probabilidade de hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS),o que pode potencializar efeitos deletérios no desem-penho funcional. Objetivo Analisar a associação de indicadores de desempenho funcional com a HAS em pessoas idosas. Métodos Inquérito epidemiológico, populacional, transversal, conduzido com 209 idosos (58,40% mulheres). O desempenho funcional foi averi-guado pelos seguintes testes: força de preensão manual; levantar e sentar da cadeira; flexão do antebraço; levantar, caminhar e sentar (LCS); sentar e alcançar o pé; e marcha estacionária (ME). O diagnóstico da HAS foi autorreferido. Resultados Averiguou-se a prevalência de HAS em 58,9% dos participantes (homens: 51,7%; mulheres: 63,9%). Observou-se, também, que os hipertensos de ambos os sexos apresentaram pior desempenho na ME e LCS (p < 0,05). Além disso, verificou-se que cada segundo a mais despendido para LSC aumentou em 11% e 7%, respectivamente, a probabilidade de HAS nos homens (RP: 1,11; IC95%: 1,03-1,20) e nas mulheres (RP: 1,07; IC95%: 1,04-1,12), enquanto cada passo a mais realizado na ME diminuiu em 2% a probabilidade para o desfecho (homens e mulheres = RP: 0,98; IC95%: 0,97-0,99). Conclusão Identificou-se que o teste de LCS esteve positivamente associado à HAS. Ademais, a ME apresentou-se inversamente associada à HAS.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Introduction Cervical cancer is caused by a persistent infection with some types of human papillomavirus (HPV), and its treatment entails chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. This may cause different kinds of dysfunction in the pelvic floor. Hence, physiotherapy plays an important role in the evaluation and treatment of urogynecological dysfunctions occasioned by the oncological treatment. Objective To develop a digital technology in application format to help physiotherapists in the assessment of pelvic dysfunctions after cervical cancer. Methods A digital technology in application format was developed after approval from the Ethics in Research Committee of the Tropical Medical Center. The instrument was developed by a physiotherapist with expertise and experience in the area. The researchers held meetings to finalize the creation of the checklist, and the application was programmed using the Android Studio Environment. In the end, the application was evaluated by two physiotherapist experts in the field. Results The application created displays five sections addressing the symptoms of urinary dysfunction, sexual function, anal function, pain and alterations such as: lymphedema, vaginal stenosis and vaginal fibrosis. Conclusion The use of the application may help physiotherapists in the assessment of pelvic dysfunctions after cervical cancer.

Topological optimization of composite trusses considering CO2 emission via metaheuristics algorithms
Authors: Erlacher Gabriel , Calenzan Adenilcia Fernanda Grobério , Alves Élcio Cassimiro
Published: May 2023

Abstract In order to provide more sustainable solutions to the design of composite truss beams, the present work proposes a formulation to optimize dimensional, geometric and topologic parameters aiming to minimize CO2 emissions. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) are used to solve the optimization problem considering the choice of steel profiles, characteristic strength of concrete, formwork, number of panels and truss total height. The methodology is applied to three problems where three different types of profile geometry and three models of truss are considered in order to compare and analyze its results. The program considers double angles, circular hollow tubes and circular concrete-filled tubes, as well as Pratt, Howe and Warren models. The three problems are identical, with the exception of the span size, varying between 8, 24 and 40 meters. In conclusion, results show the algorithms provide equal or similar solutions, with the Warren model and circular concrete-filled tube being the best solutions in all cases, especially for larger spans, reaching an emission reduction of up to 40% in relation to the Howe model using double angles. The critical criterion in the sizing of all cases attained a design-resistant effort relation greater than 90% in all cases, confirming the effectiveness of the optimization, being the combined criterion the critical in most of them.

Abstract: Blending digital education with traditional teaching learning requires revamping current pedagogical approaches. Recently India has adopted a New Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020). NEP 2020 has given the focus on skill-based blended education with multiple entries and exit facilities. The learners will learn the skills in the laboratory. Students with varying skill levels and edges interact and have the opportunity to observe human behaviours as a result of the multiple entry and exit points. On the other hand, these gatherings can be viewed as opportunities to develop appropriate resources for both administrations and users. Hence there is a need to deal with and introduce a novel approach for updating laboratory management, administration and student handling approach. This article proposes a new methodology with the Internet of things and QR code technology. Proposed method has quickly and readily reading capability of a two-dimensional barcode called a Quick response code (QR code) arranged in systematic manner for ease of operation. The Laboratory components such as noticeboard contents,l a b m a n u a l s , s a f e t y i n s t r u c t i o n s , v i d e o demonstrations, attendance can be methodically arranged and utilised in the efficient manner. In this research, we are presenting laboratory management system having a Raspberry Pi-based QR Code Scanner. The system implementation is implemented with OpenCV and the ZBar library to improve students' laboratory course learning experiences in higher education.

Abstract : This paper reports on a study conducted to examine the development of cadets’ soft skills by implementing project-based learning in Moodle LMS during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was classroom action research following the Kemmis & McTaggart’s model. It was conducted in three cycles, each consisting of plan, action, observation, and reflection. The participants of this study were the cadets from four different study programs at Sekolah Tinggi Maritim Yogyakarta currently enrolled in online classes. The data were collected through observations and focused-group discussions. The results showed that the implementation of projectbased learning in Moodle LMS contributed effectively to the development of the cadets’ soft skills including responsibility, discipline, creativity, and problem-solving. After implementing the projectbased learning for about 16 week-meetings, the researchers recorded the gradual improvement in the soft skills performed by the cadets as follows: 39.42%(low) in Pre-cycle, 52.71% (average) in Cycle I, 69.91% (high) in Cycle II, and 83.71% (very high) in Cycle III. The aforementioned skills were perceived as key fundamental skills required by the cadets to perform their jobs successfully in the 21st century workplace, particularly in the maritime industry.

Abstract: Collaborative learning using Active Learning Strategies (ALS) and Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools in programming subjects facilitate the studentsinstructors into effective ways to make everyone engaged in Teaching Learning Process. In such learning, learners required to respond one another’s ideas. Teachers are the key players in collaborative learning process by launching the learning environment, accommodating student requirements and ensuring the classroom activities. In this study, benefits of ALS and ICT tool usages have been analyzed for the Object-Oriented Programming course offered to engineering undergraduates. The impacts are analyzed in terms of teaching methodology, practicing lab, pass percentage, course outcome attainment, internal and terminal test performances and course exit survey. The outcomes indicate that, ALS and ICT approach yields positive result in performance.

Abstract : This case study explores the use of online learning environments as an alternative tool for the promotion of undergraduate research culture within an engineering program during the COVID-19 pandemic times. This context entailed the transition from face-to-face to online learning environments, which was taken as an opportunity for the diffusion and socialization of outstanding research projects developed by undergraduate students within the classroom, through the launching of an online event and a virtual permanent exhibition. The results of this case study were measured through quantitative indicators related to the number of research projects submitted by the students for participating in this exhibition, the number of courses participating through these projects, and the number of professors involved. Participation of students and professors increased by 85% and 90%, respectively, comparing the online environment to the previous face-to-face one. Consequently, it was concluded that the use of online learning environments supports the promotion of undergraduate research culture, by increasing the interest of students for the socialization of their research results.

Breakthrough Psychosis and Long-Acting Injectable Antipsychotics

“Breakthrough” of psychosis despite good compliance of antipsychotics medication for a long time is a major obstacle to the treatment of schizophrenia, whether the mechanism is caused by dopamine hypersensitivity or insufficient dose of antipsychotics. Researchers advocating “Dopamine Supersensitivity Psychosis” (DSP) emphasize to avoid excessive inhibition of dopamine 2 receptors from the beginning of treatment. On the other hand, researchers advocating “Breakthrough psychosis on Antipsychotic Maintenance Medication” (BAMM) in which psychosis recurs due to insufficient medication despite continuous administration of antipsychotics without non-adherence argue that dose of antipsychotics should be increased to enhance therapeutic effect. In patients using long-acting antipsychotics injection (LAI), non-compliance can be ruled out. We believe that in treating non-affective psychosis, it is necessary to continuously maintain the lowest dose possible using the optimal dose considering the side effects of second-generation antipsychotics and the cycle and stage of psychosis, and the optimal formulation such as LAI.
Spreading the Word: What Fifty Shades of Grey Means for World Literature
Authors: Loh Waiyee
Published: May 2023

How does the global popularity of bestselling romance novel Fifty Shades of Grey complicate David Damrosch’s seminal definition of World Literature as ‘literary works that circulate beyond their culture of origin,’ and which are ‘actively present within a literary system beyond that of [their] original culture’? By offering a formal textual analysis of a novel few would call ‘literature,’ I explore how Fifty Shades provides a test case for rethinking what World Literature is, how it travels, and how we study it. With its 'digital-like' form and celebration of affective labour, Fifty Shades encourages readers to publicise the novel by spreading fragments of its content through online social media networks as a form of unpaid labour. This ‘spreading’ of the novel compels us to reconsider World Literature in the light of digital media and fan participation.

One of the distinct leadership styles in influencing the attitudes and behaviors of employees in organizations is inclusive leadership, which means hints at that there may be a relationship between inclusive leadership and organizational behavior. This study, which was designed with a correlational study model, aims to determine the moderating role of gender and age in the relationship between school principals' inclusive leadership behaviors and teachers' organizational cynicism levels. The study data were collected from the study population consisting of 4583 teachers. The sample consisted of 377 teachers, which were reached through the simple random sampling method. In addition, the inclusive leadership and organizational cynicism scales were used while collecting data. The results were obtained using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), Pearson's product-moment correlation, and the modulation-effect analysis. Based on this study, school principals' inclusive leadership behavior levels were high, while teachers' organizational cynicism levels were low. Again, there is a moderately negative and significant relationship between school principals' inclusive leadership behaviors and teachers' organizational cynicism. Also, this study revealed that gender and age have a moderating effect on the relationship between school principals' inclusive leadership behaviors and teachers' organizational cynicism. The influence of school principals' inclusive leadership behaviors on teachers' organizational cynicism levels was high in on female teachers and less in younger teachers.
