How did ‘Turkish’ psychology become the mainstream? A discourse analysis on the trajectory of its colonial legacy
Authors: Bayad Aydın , Şen Ercan
Published: August 2023

Apart from a few studies after 2000, Kurds and Kurdishness are almost absent in psychology studies in Turkey. In this chapter, we argue that a domestic colonial mentality lies behind such a systematic denial that has eventually led psychology in Turkey to transform into a ‘Turkish’ psychology by systematically excluding various groups (i.e., Others) for the sake of the national progress principle of Turkish modernisation. We employ a decolonial approach (i.e., denaturalisation) to reveal the ruptures and continuities of colonial dichotomies via representations of Self (i.e., in-group) and Others (i.e., out-group) in psychology texts across the 20th century by subjecting selected works of influential psychologists to discourse analysis. We found that while the ‘Turkish’ Self was re-constructed via Dominant, Progressive and Modern, various Others were re-constructed via Masses and Outdated interpretative repertoires across selected materials and time. As a first attempt to show a domestic colonial mentality pierced into various stages of psychological knowledge production in Turkey, our findings contribute to the critical psychology literature and open doors for further research on the scope and manifestation of coloniality in ‘Turkish’ psychology.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionCaribbean Small island developing states (SIDS) are generally qualified as disproportionately vulnerable to climate change, including extreme weather events like hurricanes. While many studies already documented the impacts of climate change on health in the wealthiest countries, there is little knowledge in this field in Caribbean SIDS. Our study aims to discuss health risks and vulnerabilities in a Caribbean context to inform future adaptation measures to climate change.MethodsOur paper is based on a qualitative study that was conducted in Dominica, a Caribbean SIDS. The data come from semi-structured interviews organized between March 2020 and January 2021 with people internally displaced following an extreme climate event, either tropical storm Erika (2015) or Hurricane Maria (2017), and with some people who migrated to Guadeloupe after Hurricane Maria. Interview guides were based on conceptual frameworks on climate change, migration and health, and vulnerability to climate change. Data were analyzed deductively based on frameworks and inductively to allow new codes to emerge.ResultsOur findings suggest that current knowledge of climate change by those who have been displaced by an extreme climate event varied greatly depending on the education level, class, and socioeconomic condition of the participant. Participants experienced various negative consequences from a storm or hurricane such as increased risk of relocation, lack of access to healthcare, and food, job, and water insecurities – all circumstances know to correlate with mental health issues. Participants suggested stronger dwellings, community preparedness committees to act sooner, and climate change sensitization and awareness campaigns to foster community unity and solidarity.ConclusionThese findings contribute to the perspectives and knowledge of climate change, highlighting that existing extreme climate event committees and government officials need to address structural and social barriers that can potentially increase social inequalities and lead to maladaptation to climate change with potential consequences on public health.
Episodic-semantic linkage for $1000: New semantic knowledge is more strongly coupled with episodic memory in trivia experts
Authors: Thieu Monica Kim-Ngan , Wilkins Lauren , Aly Mariam
Published: August 2023

Some people exhibit impressive memory for a wide array of semantic knowledge. What makes these trivia experts better able to learn and retain novel facts? We hypothesized that episodic memory can bolster learning of novel semantic information in trivia experts. We designed a novel task in which 132 participants varying in trivia expertise encoded “exhibits” of naturalistic facts with related photos in one of two “museums”. Afterward, participants were tested on cued recall of facts and recognition of the associated photo and museum. Greater trivia expertise predicted higher cued recall for novel facts. Critically, trivia experts but not non-experts showed superior fact recall when they remembered both features (photo and museum) of the encoding context. These findings suggest that episodic memory might scaffold new semantic learning in trivia experts, and show the value of studying trivia experts as a special population that can shed light on the mechanisms of memory.
Acupressure in Psychotherapy as an Unsinkable Rubber Duck: A reply to Feinstein (2023)
Authors: Boness Cassandra L. , Pfund Rory A , Tolin David
Published: August 2023

In a recent publication entitled “Integrating the Manual Stimulation of Acupuncture Points Into Psychotherapy: A Systematic Review with Clinical Recommendations,” appearing in this journal, Feinstein (2023) aims to aggregate the evidence on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) across the “hierarchy of evidence.” EFT is based on the premise that tapping facilitates alterations in “energy meridians” and that these alterations reduce psychological symptoms or disorders. This commentary addresses several concerns with the Feinstein (2023) review including the pseudoscientific concept of energy meridians, the lack of evidence that tapping on acupressure points is the active ingredient that resolves psychological disorders, serious methodological flaws with EFT research, and the incompatibility of EFT with the ethical practice of psychology. Thus, we disagree with Feinstein’s (2023) conclusion that “The body of research on acupoint tapping that has emerged over the past two decades and the increasing quality of the study designs appears promising” (p. 61) and instead argue that EFT represents a pseudoscientific, “unsinkable rubber duck” (i.e., a belief that people continue to hold despite evidence to the contrary).
Sense of agency at temporally delayed gaze-contingent display
Authors: Kim Junhui , Yoshida Takako
Published: August 2023

The subjective feeling of being the author of own actions and subsequent consequences is referred to as the sense of agency. Such feeling is crucial for usability in human-computer interaction, where eye movement has been adopted, yet scarcely investigated. We examined how the temporal action-effect discrepancy affects the sense of agency concerning eye movement. Participants conducted a visual search on an array of nine Chinese characters within a temporally delayed gaze-contingent display, blurring the peripheral view. The relative delay between each eye movement and the subsequent window movement varied from 0 to 4000 ms. In the control condition, the window played a recorded gaze behavior. The mean authorship rating and the proportion of "self" responses in the categorical authorship report ("self," "delayed self," and "other") gradually decreased as the temporal discrepancy increased, with "other" being rarely reported except in the control condition. These results generally replicated those of prior studies with hand actions, suggesting the sense of agency extends beyond effector body parts to other modalities. This research represents the first attempt to examine the sense of agency with efferent-afferent incongruency in eye movements. The frequency distribution of fixation duration and saccade amplitude in eye movements were examined. The mode's location of fixation duration increased as the delay increased under 200-ms delays and divided into two modes at 200-500 ms delays. The frequency of 0-1.5° saccades showed an increasing tendency as the delay increased. These results demonstrate the influence of perceived action-effect discrepancy on action planning and task strategy.
From a Large Language Model to Three-Dimensional Sentiment
Authors: Clarke Patrick , Leininger Carly , Principato Cristiana , Staples Patrick , Goodwin Guy , Ryslik Gregory A. , Dougherty Robert F.
Published: August 2023

We present an automated model of sentiment which assigns to any arbitrary text three values: valence, arousal, and confidence (VAC) and is based on the three-dimensional framework of emotion introduced by Mehrabian and Russell [1]. While such a model is potentially valuable in any situation where a nuanced measurement of sentiment is important, our motivation was to quantify the dialog from psychological therapy and support sessions. The VAC scores are real-values that lie between -1 and 1, and thus the output lies in the 2×2×2 cube defined by the three dimensions. Internally, the model uses a convex combination of points in the cube with weights that are obtained from a publicly available zero-shot classifier built from the BART large language model (LLM) that has been fine-tuned on the Multi-Genre Natural Language Inference (MNLI) dataset. The classes used to produce weights for the convex combination were obtained through prompt engineering. In addition to describing the model and our approach to defining the classes, we show that the VAC model scores are strongly correlated with scores provided by human raters on individual words, and is arguably better than human on the dimension of confidence. By leveraging an LLM, it can process text of any size, is sensitive to subtlety and idiom, can be updated as language and technology evolve, and can produce meaningful results for any arbitrary sentence-length inputs. To illustrate a real-world application, we use the model to evaluate sentences spoken during a psychological therapy session.
Ethnonational Historical Narratives in Works of Serbian, Croatian and Bosniak Academics: Case Study
Authors: Ivanović Jovan
Published: August 2023

The dissolution of Yugoslavia is an example of how radical transformation of the past could be intertwined with violent conflict, which led to mass destruction and atrocities in the Western Balkan region, leaving consequences even today. Scholars, especially the ones who are members of prestigious national academies, should enlighten the political abuse of history as it contrasts scientific rigour. However, circumstances of war and rising tensions influence every member of society, including social scientists. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the implications for intergroup relations of "new" ethnonational narratives in the scientific works of Serbian, Croatian and Bosniak members of national academies. In this case study, we used qualitative content analysis of three books (one for each ethnic group), which were selected due to their relevance for the history of relations between three ethnic groups and representativity for ethnonational narratives. The analytical framework was based on Bar-Tal's (2007) theory about socio-psychological foundations of conflict which assumes a specific organization of collective memory developed during the war that poses an obstacle to reconciliation after an official peace agreement. Thus, the codes used were: 1) justness of in-group goals (in-group goals and ways of attaining them in the past are justified and claimed existential, while out-group goals are rejected and criticized); 2) delegitimization of out-group (emphasis is placed on historical representations which depict out-groups as negative and inhuman, including their traits, intentions and deeds); 3) victimization of in-group (in-group is depicted as a historical victim of rival out-groups with emphasis on strong and exaggerated depictions of killings, oppression, destruction); 4) positive in-group image (the exclusive emphasis is on the historical representations of exaggerated in-group positive traits, intentions and deeds). Results showed that four themes of socio-psychological 'infrastructure' of conflict are present in the selected academic works. Among all authors, the justness of in-group goals and delegitimization of the out-group dominate the text. On the other hand, examples of critical analysis of the in-group and its goals, as well as examples of the positive image of the ethnic out-groups and acknowledging their victims are almost absent. In rare cases when such themes are mentioned, it is with a function to discredit and relativize them. Hence, the case study shows how ethnonational narratives, even in works of academics from different ethnic groups, could contribute to creating and maintaining the socio-psychological infrastructure of conflict. We discuss the responsibility of social scientists, national scientific institutions and guidelines for liberating historical science from political manipulation.
Subjective experiences of life events match individual differences in personality development

Published: August 2023

The last two decades have witnessed increased research on the role of life events in personality trait development, but few findings appear to be robust. We propose that a key to resolving this issue is incorporating individuals’ subjective experiences into the study of event-related development. To test this, we developed and administered a survey about event-related personality change to a representative Dutch sample (N = 5,513, ages 16-95) and linked their responses to 12-year trajectories of measured Big Five development. Most participants (63%) believed that a life event impacted their personality in the past 10 years, on average 5 years pre-survey. These participants, even those who experienced the same event, had markedly heterogenous perceptions of how their traits changed and why each event affected their personality. In pre-registered analyses, we examined participants’ individual personality trajectories before and after the event that they identified as most impactful. Across events, retrospective perceptions of event-related personality change were significantly correlated with short-term and long-term post-event personality trajectories across Big Five traits (mean rs = .22, .28) and pre-event trajectories in all traits except Agreeableness (mean r = .16). We also found correspondence between perceived and measured development in analyses of the two most commonly-reported personality-changing events, health problems and death of a loved one/family member. Finally, we explored associations between personality development and perceived change-inducing event characteristics. Using these findings, we argue that future research into event-related personality development should de-emphasize mean-level change to focus on individuals’ varied experiences of whether, when, how, and why life events have affected their personality.
Rights for Those Who Unwillingly, Unknowingly and Unidentifiably Compute!
Authors: Veale Michael
Published: August 2023

To appear in: Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz and Giussepe Vettori (eds.), The Person and the Future of Private Law (Hart, forthcoming). This version: August 2023.AbstractProfiling of individuals has long been a concern to scholars and civil society, and a lucrative way for platforms to shape markets and extract value. However, people and their environments are not just computed, but they are increasingly also expected to become agents in large scale computations. The strengthening of privacy and data protection law has been used as a reason to move more and more advanced computation concerning individuals, groups and environments onto people’s devices, in a shift called ‘local processing’. This sees individuals’ devices and software work together to undertake collective computations, which often claim to be confidential with regard to the data of each person involved. For example, using technologies such as secure multi-party computation, phones may work together to create models or analysis of spoken language, without revealing anything that any user said to any other person. Such privacy-enhancing technologies equate privacy with confidentiality, and have interesting potential, but seeing an individual as participants in a computation raises new challenges. What autonomy do people have to shape such participation, given the limited technical and practical control over the devices in their pockets? Does their contribution to ethically questionable computation bring some responsibility, and should they be facilitated to refuse to participate in it? How does the individual relate to the overarching forces that orchestrate their ‘personal’ computers? Here, I present a guide and an agenda to navigate these issues, and analyse emerging regimes, such as the ex ante provisions in the Digital Markets Act and the Data Act, as well as interpretations of the General Data Protection Regulation, to understand how, if at all, they support those that unwillingly, unknowingly and perhaps even unidentifiably facilitate, rather than become the subject of, controversial computation.
A Study on Consumer’s Perception on Online And Offline Shopping
Authors: Loganathan Durgha Devi
Published: August 2023

Shopping is the act of a customer browsing the products and services offered by one or more retail outlets with the aim to make a purchase. Businesses can handle the simple flow of consumer requests using a variety of platforms. to compile the many goods that demand consumers make a decision between offline and online retail. Online shopping, a major rival in the retail sector, allows customers to explore product information and make purchases from any location in the world. Online retailers make deliveries to the customer's home, place of business, or any other location the customer requests. Going to a store in person to buy the item we want is the normal buying strategy. Given the wide range of Indian culture and religion, it's critical to understand how Indians shop and how to influence them. to more fully understand how purchasing patterns of consumers differ depending on whether they shop in-store, online, or both. to better comprehend how consumers select products to satisfy their wants and needs. The poll's findings indicate that individuals prefer to shop offline over online. Festivals and special occasions are the main factors influencing Christmas shopping, according to the survey's findings. Even if internet sales have increased significantly and are expected to do so in the future, most customers still favor an offline (or "real") buying experience. According to numerous studies, a substantial portion of young people in India make internet shopping a huge success story. Without a doubt, the popularity of online shopping has hurt traditional brick and mortar businesses.
The Impact of Taiwan’s Status on US-Chinese Relations Under President Joe Biden
Authors: Marwa Uday Musa  , Mutlaq Donia Jawad
Published: August 2023

The international standing has an impact on the strategic importance of the country in its relations with other regional and international countries. The strategic position of Taiwan has an impact on the US-Chinese relations, as it is one of the most important issues that raise dispute between the two countries. The while the Chinese consider Taiwan is an ancient legacy of their republic, and an integral part of it, the Americans consider it as an area linking the U.S. to the Asia-Pacific region, through which it intends to help its allies (Japan and South Korea). Moreover, Taiwan has huge economic importance as it is one of the largest manufacturers of electronic chips and semiconductors. This fact represents one of the most important issues of disagreement between the United States, which seeks to seize these delicate materials in its delicate industries, and China, which is trying to monopolize them to be the only country producing these materials, because it owns 5% of the electronic chip industries, and Taiwan owns 75% of its industries in the world. If the Chinese succeed in returning Taiwan, they will acquire thin industries at a rate of 80% of the total industries in the world.
Sectarianizing the Politics in the Middle East
Authors: Calawy Assistant Professor. Sami
Published: August 2023

day, many political regimes in the Middle East have been sectarianizing their internal and external policies, (i.e., given doctrinal features to these policies). This is what led to the emergence of new alignments and alliances that changed the political map of the region. With the help of the securitization theory, which was developed by the Copenhagen School of Security Studies, this research attempts to explain the phenomenon of sectarianism and its repercussions on the security and stability of the Middle East. The research also deals with the emergence of a security complex or dilemma on sectarian bases, such as the Iranian-Turkish-Saudi complex, and its role in creating hotbeds of tension and conflicts in the region.The research studies the phenomenon of securitization at the local and regional levels, and assumes that this phenomenon, despite its historical roots, is made by the regimes themselves, and is only intended to pass political projects that serve the regimes but not their peoples. The research concludes that there is no solution to sectarian dilemmas except with mutual understanding among the regimes that make them, and the resort to the policy of friendship and cooperation instead of the policy of conflict and rivalry.
An Analysis of Work Accident Risk in the Construction of the RSUD ER Building West Lombok District Using Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
Authors: Hakim Luqmanul , Murtiadi Suryawan , . Akmaluddin
Published: August 2023

Risk is the possibility or uncertainty of an unexpected event occurring while carrying out work that could harm the party carrying out the activity. In carrying out activities, one of the risks that may arise is the risk of work accidents, work accidents can occur in all fields of work, one of which is the construction sector. Occupational accidents in the construction sector are actually the result of risk mitigation that is not on target in dealing with the risk of work accidents. Occupational accidents can be caused by several main factors, namely environmental conditions, work equipment, and the workers themselves. Therefore, in order to minimize the number of work accidents, it is necessary to manage the risk of work accidents in construction projects for the safety of workers and the success of a project. The steps to be carried out in this study include risk identification, risk assessment, analysis of risk causes, and risk management. Risk identification was carried out based on a literature study on the risks involved in work at the Emergency Room Development Project at the West Lombok District Hospital. After that, the risk will be assessed using the appropriate guidelines in AS/NZS 4360:2004 which uses the probability and impact matrix in its assessment. Then, for risks classified as very high risk, fault tree analysis is used to find the cause. After that, a risk mitigation plan will be carried out based on the results of the risk assessment and MOCUS. The results obtained from this research study are the causes of the very high risks that exist in the project, namely the risk of workers falling from heights caused by 11 basic events. In addition to the causes of the risk, there are also forms of handling for the causes of risk, one of which is the supervision carried out on workers to deal with the basic event of not concentrating and rushing at work.

Summary The purpose of this article is research of the level of development and features of agricultural robots offered by global manufacturers and directions of robotics and their technological use in field crop rotations;the structuring and assessment of the prospects for the use of robotic agricultural autonomous means (robots) in field crop rotation. Methods: сase-studies of robotic agricultural autonomous means (robots) that are proposed for the use of mechanized processes in field crop rotations; structuring of technical solutions of robots according to their technological features and energy sources; analysis of navigation algorithms, sensor systems, artificial intelligence and other important components that are characteristic of field robots; identification of key developers/manufacturers of field robots, features of their proposed directions of robotics and technological use in field crop rotations; assessing the prospects for the application of field robots and the technological benefits of their application and taking into account the challenges such as legal aspects, safety and acceptance of the technology by farmers. Results. The conducted factor analyzes of the structural elements of field robots show that both traditional tractors and special chassis are used to transform energy into traction and drive capacity, and different levels of sensor and software are achieved. This made it possible to assess the autonomy levels of field robots and predict the scope of application depending on the power. The tractor, retrofitted with sensors and appropriate programs, provides semi-autonomous performance of basic operations in a unit with traditional agricultural machines in field crop rotations, but the presence of a person is still mandatory. Conclusions. New directions for the development of field robots use convergent technologies and are based on the deep modernization of tractors and the use of specially designed chassis with their own transmissions (concepts), the use of new energy sources and a significantly higher level of autonomy and remote control of work modes. Concepts are created as single designs and are oriented towards the performance of separate operations in a unit with agricultural machines, or with special attachments for working bodies and even in single-row execution. As a rule, they have an electric transmission, but not high power, which narrows the scope of their application.

Application of the method of territorial long-term forecasts to determine the maximum water discharge rates under the conditions of spring flood 2022-2023 formation across the Desna basin

Published: August 2023

Despite the conditions of both climate change and long-term trend to decrease of hydrological characteristics of the Ukrainian rivers' spring flood that was established by many authors, the formation of high-water river floods accompanied by rising water levels and release of water to floodplains still remains probable.

Thus, according to the data of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center (UkrHMC) of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (web: www.meteo.gov.ua), the hydrometeorological conditions of snowmelt and rain runoff formation during the autumn-winter and spring periods of 2022-2023 across the basins of the Dnipro and Desna rivers and their tributaries were characterized as those having a complex nature. This led to a rise of these rivers' water levels with flooding of floodplains, disruption of transport connections, as well as flooding of populated areas in Kyiv, Chernihiv and other Ukrainian regions.

The purpose of this study is the issues related to determination of natural factors that lead to extreme large-scale spring floods, and long-term forecasting of maximum runoff of spring floods in 2022-2023 across the Desna River basin.

To ensure operational forecasting support and assessment of the spring floods size across the basin of the Desna River and other left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper, the research used a method of territorial long-term forecasts of spring floods maximum runoff. The method takes into account a complex of hydrometeorological factors which, when combined annually, lead to the formation of spring floods of different sizes.

The results of the long-term forecast for maximum water discharge rates during the spring flood in 2022-2023 retrieved from the forecasting computer complex "SEYM" show satisfactory statistical estimates of the forecast for maximum water discharge rates during a spring flood provided that a high pre-flood water content of the rivers during recession of a winter flood is considered. The forecast lead time for maximum water discharge rates of the spring flood in 2022-2023 varied from 20-30 days for small tributaries of the Desna River to two months for the Desna and Seim rivers themselves.

Application of the method of territorial long-term forecasts of characteristics of river spring floods allows spatial monitoring of the rivers' water content provided that forecasting is conducted using the methodology of maximum water discharge rates for any rivers of a certain territory, including those with relation to which there are no observations of their water runoff.

 An early warning about a dangerous river water level during winter-spring periods can significantly reduce the scale of negative consequences and ensure achievement of socio-economic and environmental effects.

The direction of organic electronics research is attracting more and more interest from the scientific community. One of the indicators of such interest is the appearance of commercially available products with screens based on organic compounds. Therefore, conducting experimental and theoretical research in this area is an urgent task. Pentacoordination neutral complexes of silicon are poorly studied from the point of view of application in organic electronics, as well as six-coordination analogues. We present data on the calculation of reorganization energies, intermolecular transfer integrals, transfer rates and charge mobility for the optimized structures of pentacoordinated silicon complexes Si(DPP)(CH3)2 and Si(bzimpy)(CH3)2. We have applied Marcus-Hush model for calculation of charge mobilities. The Si(DPP)(CH3)2 structure contains one diphenylpyridine (DPP = 2,6-diphenylperidine) ligand. The Si(bzimpy)(CH3)2 structure contains one benzimidazole (bzimpy = 2,6-bis(benzimidazole-2'-il)pyridine) ligand. Computational data were obtained using the B3LYP hybrid functional and the basis set 6-31G*. All calculations were performed using Gaussian09 program package. The charge mobility data obtained for Si(DPP)(CH3)2 and Si(bzimpy)(CH3)2 pentacoordinated silicon complexes were compared with their six-coordinate counterparts Si(DPP)2 and Si(bzimpy)2 for which experimental data on charge mobilities become available last years. Comparison with six-coordination analogues of complexes showed that penta-coordination complexes Si(DPP)(CH3)2 and Si(bzimpy)(CH3)2 have much higher mobility of electrons, while Si(bzimpy)(CH3)2 also has higher hole mobility. We suppose this could be related to different symmetry of the pentacoordinated and hexacoordinted complexes. It is shown that the mobility of holes is much higher in the complex Si(bzimpy)(CH3)2 than in Si(DPP)(CH3)2.

The IR absorption spectra of the recently synthesized series of benzoyl-containing thianthrene derivatives were studied in the context of their structural identification. Geometry optimizitation of the ground singlet state by density functional theory (DFT) calculations with the gradient and Hessian search were performed for thianthrene molecule in the framework of the C2v symmetry restriction. The excited singlet and triplet states of thianthrene were found to be distorted along the b3u vibrational mode of the D2h point group, as well as the ground state, which leads to the non-planar batterfly-like structure (C2v). But the excited states require additional symmetry reduction; they are closer to planarity but have no symmetry elements. Optimized ground states structure for the thianthrene-benzoyle molecule and its four derivatives with fluoro-substituents and different substitution positions were analyzed through complete assignment of all their vibrational modes and comparison with experimental infrared absorption spectra. A good agreement between experimental data and DFT calculated IR spectra provides additional structural support to results of the X-ray diffraction analysis of all synthesized compounds. The Hirshfeld surfaces analysis of the crystalline 3-fluorobenzoyl-thianthrene (T3F) was performed in order to analyze intermolecular interactions in T3F crystal. It indicates the presence of weak CH…F, CH…S and CH…O intermolecular contacts, stabilizing the crystal structure of T3F. The CH…O interactions appear in the IR spectrum of T3F crystal as two vibrational modes with frequencies 3084 and 3078 cm–1. The intermolecular interactions CH…F and CH…S do not affect the IR spectrum of T3F.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kurangnya minat belajar biologi peserta didik di kelas XI MIPA 2 SMA Negeri 1 Muncar. Kondisi ini disebabkan oleh rasa bosan dan dikhawatirkan dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan kognitif peserta didik. Penerapan Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) dengan model PBL berbantuan Gallery Walk dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu alternatif solusi dalam mengatasi rasa bosan yang dialami oleh peserta didik akibat kurangnya kesesuaian antara permasalahan yang disajikan dengan kebutuhan belajar mereka serta keinginan dari peserta didik untuk belajar dengan cara yang berbeda. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama dua siklus dengan prosedur Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) mengikuti skema Kemmis dan McTagart yakni perencanaan, (planning), tindakan (action), pengamatan/observasi (evaluation), dan refleksi (reflection). Subyek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI MIPA 2 di SMA Negeri 1 Muncar tahun ajaran 2022/2023 sebanyak 34 orang. Teknik pengumpulan data diambil melalui wawancara, observasi, dan angket. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif melalui hasil wawancara dan observasi, serta data kuantitatif berdasarkan angket minat belajar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase minat belajar biologi peserta didik meningkat dari tindakan prasiklus hingga siklus II. Selama 2 siklus, persentase minat belajar peserta didik pada kriteria Sangat Tinggi meningkat sebesar 2,9%. Persentase kriteria Cukup (C) juga meningkat dari prasiklus ke siklus I sebesar 23,5%, sedangkan dari siklus I ke siklus II meningkat sebesar 3%. Persentase kriteria Kurang (K) menurun dari prasiklus ke siklus I yaitu sebesar 23,5%.

Published: August 2023

The purpose of this article is to explore the conceptual grounds of the going concern principle of enterprises as a fundamental principle in the process of preparing financial statements. This issue has become particularly relevant in modern times due to the high degree of uncertainty caused by the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic and military actions of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. To achieve the stated objective, the research employed general scientific research methods, including empirical methods (observation and description) and theoretical methods (analysis and generalization). The purpose of the research is to reveal the essence and importance of the going concern principle, determine the interpretation of the concept of «going concern» depending on the context and approach of scholars, form its own vision regarding the interpretation of the essence of the going concern principle, taking into account the impact of high level of economic uncertainty, investigate the fundamental conceptual grounds of the going concern principle, such as risk management, flexibility, automation, provisioning, communication and planning. The research identifies the need to enhance the conceptual grounds of the going concern principle in modern conditions of uncertainty. The interrelation between the concepts of «principle» and «assumption» in the analysis of going concern is substantiated. The international and Ukrainian legislative and regulatory framework is analyzed to establish the importance of the role of the going concern principle in the system of accounting and financial reporting. The interrelatedness of the main features of the going concern principle from the perspective of different scholars is identified and characterized. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in defining the fundamental conceptual grounds that ensure compliance with the going concern principle for entities and in formulating directions for their improvement in conditions of uncertainty.
