CORRUPCIÓN EN LA RAMA JUDICIAL: UNA REFLEXIÓN
Authors: Escobar Luque Horacio
Published: September 2023

Uno de los ma?s dan?inos flagelos que azotan nuestras sociedades es la corrupcio?n vista desde diversos a?ngulos y acciones. Vargas solo ve al Poder Judicial como objeto de la corrupcio?n, como ente corruptible, mas no como una institucio?n encargada precisamente de controlar la corrupcio?n. La u?nica forma eficaz de superar los problemas ende?micos de corrupcio?n en nuestros sistemas judiciales es afrontar derechamente las profundas disfunciones que estos manifiestan que constituyen las reales causas de los serios problemas de corrupcio?n que los aquejan. Klitgaard formaliza el feno?meno de la corrupcio?n de la siguiente manera: Corrupcio?n = poder monopo?lico + arbitrio – responsabilidad. Villoria manifiesta que hay casos en que la judicatura no es un obsta?culo contra la corrupcio?n, sino un elemento esencial en su reproduccio?n y desarrollo, siendo un ejemplo de corrupcio?n que contribuye a la deslegitimacio?n del sistema poli?tico y corroe los cimientos de la gobernabilidad. Si se analizan, entonces, los problemas de los sistemas judiciales, con el objetivo de buscar soluciones a sus altos niveles de corrupcio?n administrativa, nos encontrari?amos con: una organizacio?n ineficaz, la precariedad del empleo, desprecio de la ley, amiguismo, delegaciones, abogados corruptores, silencio y jerarqui?a judicial cooptada.

Palabras clave: Corrupcio?n, Rama Judicial, Monopolio, Amiguismo.

One of the most damaging scourges afflicting our societies corruption is viewed from different angles and actions. Vargas only sees the judiciary as an object of corruption as a corruptible body, not as an institution to precisely control corruption. The only effective way to overcome the endemic problems of corruption in our judicial system is straight addressing the root dysfunctions they say they are the real causes of serious corruption problems that afflict them. Klitgaard formalizes the phenomenon of corruption as follows: Corruption = monopoly power + discretion - accountability. Villoria states that there are cases where the judiciary is not a barrier against corruption, but an essential element in its reproduction and development, an example of corruption that contributes to the legitimization of the political system and undermines the very foundations of governance. If analyzed, then, the problems of judicial systems, with the goal of finding solutions to their high levels of administrative corruption, we would find an ineffective organization, job insecurity, lawlessness, cronyism, offices, lawyers corrupters, silence and coopted judicial hierarchy.

TRANSGREDIENDO LA MIRADA. CONFLUENCIAS ENTRE MODA, GÉNERO Y ARTE
Authors: Rodríguez Venegas Mara
Published: September 2023

El presente arti?culo propone reflexionar sobre las relaciones cruzadas entre arte, moda y ge?nero en la praxis arti?stica del disen?o de modas. El espacio ganado por el feno?meno moda en la sociedad actual ha llevado al hombre a seguir determinados estereotipos sociales que le otorgan especial intere?s a lo visual. La construccio?n de ca?nones de belleza y estilos de vida pensados para el consumo ha sido un punto de partida para las creaciones de algunos disen?adores que tienden a invisibilizar las fronteras entre los a?mbitos del disen?o y el arte. Por ello resulta necesario conceptualizar la moda cuando se acerca a los espacios privativos de lo arti?stico a partir del despliegue del concepto moda con forma de arte. Tal construccio?n conceptual permite comprender la obra de disen?adores que apoyados en las problema?ticas de ge?nero, sugieren una relectura de sus creaciones, al transgredir la mirada donde confluyen arte, moda y ge?nero.

Palabras clave: Arte, Moda, Ge?nero, Moda con forma de arte, Belleza, Disen?o.

Abstract

In the present article, an analysis of the relationship between art, fashion, and genre in the artistic practice of fashion design is addressed. The space delimited by fashion phenomenon in the current society conforms several social stereotypes with a special interest in the visual aspects. The canons of beauty and life’s style created for human consumption represent a start point for designers, who use to break frontiers between art and design. Thus, it’s necessary to make a concept that explains when the fashion became in art and this situation is called fashion with a form of art. This concept allows to understand the work of designs based on genre problems and suggest a new read of designs where art, fashions, and genre are mixed together.

Keywords: Art, Fashion, Genre, Fashion with a form of art, Beauty, Design.

El presente arti?culo da cuenta de una parte de los resultados derivados de una investigacio?n financiada con un Proyecto Fondecyt Regular en Chile sobre la conciliacio?n de trabajo y vida familiar desde una perspectiva juri?dica y busca poner de manifiesto co?mo las legislaciones laborales cla?sicas inspiradas en el modelo de produccio?n reproduccio?n, expresado en la idea de “hombre proveedor y mujer cuidadora”, esta?n repercutiendo negativamente en las oportunidades laborales de las madres trabajadoras, como a su vez, afectando los derechos de los padres trabajadores para poder asumir sus responsabilidades familiares. Por consiguiente, se sostiene que la vigencia efectiva del derecho fundamental a la igualdad de trato entre hombres y mujeres exige una revisio?n y actualizacio?n de los sistemas normativos asociados a la proteccio?n a la maternidad, lo que es objeto de la propuesta que se realiza en este ensayo. 

Abstract

This paper reports some of the research results from an investigation on reconciling work and family life from a legal perspective. It is funded by Regular Fondecyt Project in Chile and it seeks to show how the classical labor laws inspired by the model production and reproduction, expressed in the idea of “male breadwinner and female caregiver”, are negatively impacting employment opportunities for working mothers. Likewise, it is also affecting the rights of working parents to take their family responsibilities. Therefore, it is argued that the effective exercise of the fundamental right to equal treatment between men and women requires must be reviewed and updated, especially with regard to maternity protection legislation.
Does mental health really matter? The dynamics of emotion and organizational behavior
Authors: Singh Aarthi Chandrasantha , Bhuvaneswari Mohanraj
Published: September 2023

This research investigates the intricate relationship between mental health and workplace behaviors, specifically focusing on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB). OCB and CWB are recognized as significant components of organizational behavior, with employees displaying these behaviors when they experience either job satisfaction or perceived threats. However, the factors influencing the choice of these behaviors remain elusive. This study contends that emotional states, shaped by the complex interplay of individual mental health, organizational climate, and culture, play a pivotal role in determining an employee's propensity to engage in OCB or CWB. Anxiety, stress, and depression are natural emotional responses to workplace situations, and they can both trigger and be triggered by OCB and CWB. This article aims to comprehensively investigate the impact of these emotional states on OCB and CWB behaviors. Furthermore, it explores the application of the conservation of resources (COR) theory in understanding these dynamics. The article underscores the necessity for further research in this area to enhance our comprehension of the intricate relationships among mental health, emotions, and workplace behaviors. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge at the intersection of psychology and organizational behavior.

Published: September 2023

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL), quality of sleep, and sleepiness index in undergraduate dentistry students between their active learning (AL) and emergency remote learning (ERL) due to social distancing imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Information was collected using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36-BR), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS-BR), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-BR) questionnaires administered before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A comparison regarding the type of education, demographic factors, academic performance, PSQI-BR, ESS-BR, and SF-36-BR between the groups was performed, considering a significance level of 0.05. Results: A total of 55 students were from AL, while 45 students were from ERL. The sample consisted of 74 women and 26 men aged 21–30 years. The academic coefficient of these students ranged from 7 to 8 points (AL= 38.2% and ERL= 57.8%).  In addition, a large proportion of the students reported having no failures (AL=60% and ERL= 66.7%). Regarding QoL, the students presented a greater impairment in functional capacity (p = 0.01), followed by limitations in social aspects, general health perception, body pain, and vitality. According to the ESS-BR scores (p = 0.04), the students presented a lower quality of sleep. Conclusion: Dentistry students had the worst QoL panoramas and poor relative sleep quality before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, QoL instruments were reliable for quantifying health-related QoL in AL and ERL.
Suicide mortality in Brazil: temporal analysis (2010-2021) and comparison with the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Mejía Juan Felipe Rincón , Pivatto Valeska Maddalozzo
Published: September 2023

Objective: To analyze suicide cases in Brazil from 2010 to 2021 and the sociodemographic characteristics of this phenomenon, including the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, to assess whether there was a relationship between the increase in suicide cases in Brazil and this illness. Methods: Ecological timeline study, with 140,339 cases analyzed from the Mortality Information System (SIM) databases. Rates and statistical regressions were performed using STATA® software. Results: Higher suicide rates in men, singles, and residents of the South and Midwest regions were observed. The age group of 10–19 years had an increase of 1.7 cases x 100 thousand inhabitants/year. Analysis by region revealed significant variations in rates, suggesting the influence of contextual factors. Although the pandemic affected mental health, it was not possible to establish a direct relationship between COVID-19 and increased suicide rates. Conclusion: These results reinforce the need for public policies and preventive interventions, especially for vulnerable groups such as young people. A multifactorial approach is suggested that considers socioeconomic factors, access to mental health services, and reduced stigma associated with mental illness. In short, this study contributes to understanding the temporal trends and demographic characteristics of suicides in Brazil, highlighting the importance of further longitudinal investigations to better understand this complex phenomenon. Hopefully, this evidence will strengthen mental health policies and promote more effective suicide prevention strategies.

The Importance of Basal Cell Carcinoma Risk Stratification and Potential Future Pathways
Authors: Paul Sharad , Knight Allanah
Published: September 2023

Background

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human cancer. Although there are surgical and topical treatments available, surgery remains the mainstay of treatment, leading to higher costs. What is needed is an accurate risk assessment of BCC so that treatments can be planned in a patient-centered manner.

Objective

In this study, we will review the literature about guidelines for the management of BCC and analyze the potential indicators of high-risk BCC. Using this risk assessment approach, we will propose pathways that will be able to optimize treatments more efficiently.

Methods

This paper presents a perspective from a skin cancer expert and clinic involved in the treatment of both simple and complex cases of BCC. It addresses the key challenges associated with accurate risk stratification prior to any treatment or procedure. Different immunohistochemical and angiogenic markers for high-risk BCC were reviewed in this study.

Results

The expression of interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, and mast cells within BCC correlates with its aggressiveness. Other immunohistochemical markers, such as Cyclin D1 and Bcl-2, also play a significant role—Cyclin D1 is higher in the aggressive BCC, while Bcl-2 is lower in the aggressive BCC, compared to the nonaggressive variants.

Conclusions

Based on our research, we will conclude that using immunohistochemical and angiogenic markers for risk assessment and stratification of BCC can help optimize treatment, ensuring that surgical procedures are used only when necessary.

Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND

Chatbots are smart informal computer systems that simulate human discussion and allow computerized online assistance. Currently, there is no research about the context of a discussion regarding the use of the Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) among communities of different fields.

OBJECTIVE

This study will explore the existing type of social structure regarding “ChatGPT” on the Twitter network. It determined the top opinion leaders in these networks and explored the type of topics that generates users’ interest in “ChatGPT”.

METHODS

This study applied NodeXL to analyze the results and retrieved Twitter data from January 16, 2023, using the keywords “ChatGPT” and 19024 Tweets were collected. The gathered information was spontaneously collected in the “vertices” and “edges” on the NodeXL datasheets

RESULTS

We found that the top opinion leader (vertex) “Stratorob” had the highest in-betweeners and out-degree centrality. “OpenAi” had the in-degree centrality for networks. The results indicate that the vertex having maximum influence with the largest number of in-betweenness centrality has not linked with several followers.

CONCLUSIONS

The content of top networks’ Tweets was around the number of “ChatGPT” innovations with the potential to significantly improve education delivery and innovative technologies, especially in healthcare and medical education.

Web-Based Intervention Using Self-Compassionate Writing to Induce Positive Mood in Family Caregivers of Older Adults: Quantitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wiita Farah , Ho Aileen K , Weinstein Netta
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND

Caregiver burden can impact the mental health of family caregivers, but self-compassion may help reduce this impact. Brief self-compassion interventions have been shown to be useful but have not been tested in family caregivers of older adults.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to test the effects of a brief self-compassion intervention and its components (self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness) on mental well-being and mood when reflecting on difficult family caregiving experiences.

METHODS

British caregivers were recruited through a web-based panel. Three experimental studies manipulated the self-compassion intervention. In study 1 (n=206) and study 2 (n=224), participants wrote about a difficult caregiving experience while focusing on 1 self-compassion component (self-kindness, common humanity, or mindfulness). In study 3 (n=222) participants focused on all components. Self-compassion, serenity, guilt, and sadness were measured.

RESULTS

In studies 1 and 2, condition effects showed mindfulness unexpectedly lowered mood. Inconsistent and modest benefits to affect were achieved by engagement in self-kindness and common humanity in study 1 (guilt [lowered]: P=.02 and sadness [lowered]: P=.04; serenity [nonsignificantly raised]: P=.20) and also in study 2 (sadness [nonsignificantly lowered]: P=.23 and guilt [nonsignificantly lowered]: P=.26; serenity [raised]: P=.33); significant benefits for self-compassion and mood were found in study 3 (serenity [raised]: P=.01, kindness [raised]: P=.003, and common humanity [raised]: P≤.001; guilt [lowered]: P<.001 and sadness [lowered]: P≤.001). More intensive efforts should be made to promote self-compassion in caregivers of older adults, with caution advised when relying primarily on mindfulness approaches.

CONCLUSIONS

Self-compassionate writing may be beneficial for family caregivers, but more intensive interventions are needed. Further research is needed to determine the optimal dosage and content for achieving the greatest effects.

Through education and continuous professional development — to new professional achievements
Authors: Khlyebas S.V. , Slobodyanik-Kolomoyets M.V.
Published: September 2023

The profession of a doctor requires constant training, because information is updated quite rapidly and the acquired knowledge must meet modern requirements and have scientific basis. Moreover, specialists need to improve not only their skills, but also have legal and organizational knowledge. Consequently, we needed a platform to discuss important and urgent issues of dentistry; however, the pandemic and the war deprived us the opportunity to meet in person. The non-governmental organization “Ukrainian Dental Association”, which united doctors of all specialties, took up the solution of this issue together with providers of continuous professional development (CPD). Already in the first half of the year, seven educational seminars for dentists were held in real time; as a result, the number of views reached 20,000.
The Interaction between the Investment Behavior of Transnational Corporations and the International Political and Economic System
Authors: Xu Chang
Published: September 2023

With the development of economic globalization and world modularization, more and more economic activities transcend national boundaries, making the connection between the organic economic whole formed through foreign trade, capital flow, technology transfer and other activities become closer. Transnational Corporations (TNCs) come into being in this context, making the global convergence trend of the economies of the world in production, distribution, exchange and consumption links more obvious. Because TNCs usually conduct economic activities in two or more countries, their strong economic power will inevitably affect the economic, political, cultural and social life of the country. On the one hand, the investment and business behavior of TNCs will have a series of effects on the local economy of the host country, and in some economic fields, TNCs can even interfere with the political order of the host country. On the other hand, in the process of globalization, transnational corporations themselves will also be affected by the international political and economic situation.
Exploring the Ecological Benefits of Dead Wood and the Opportunities of Interpreting Dead Wood to the Public
Authors: Liu Xiaoyu , Fan Wenhe
Published: September 2023

According to the Practice Guide of Managing deadwood in forests and woodlands, all types of dead and dying trees of 10 cm or more in diameter are recognised as deadwood. Dead wood is very important to the health of the forest, and this is increasingly recognized by environmentalists and ecologists. Dead wood is thought to be vital to the health of a wood or forest because it can help to reduce soil erosion and create stability (Gamekeeperstrust, 2019). Not only is it an aspect of the nutrient cycling process, it provides a stable, slow-release nitrogen source and is thought to play an important role in carbon storage. Falling logs can also increase the soil stability of the woodland (Pupplet, n.d.). Although every forest and woodland are different, and owners and managers have different management objectives, deadwood should be considered in most situations. Current evidence suggests that, over the long term, deadwood should amount to roughly 20 m3 per hectare averaged across the forest management unit. Some management actions are general to all woodlands, but there are others which are specific to woods or areas of higher ecological value. This approach requires that areas of high ecological value be identified during management planning. The public as the target users of our future design, their attitude is also essential to integrate the characteristics of dead wood into the design of urban environment landscape.
Antecedents of Professional Skepticism, Auditor Experience, and Time Pressure in Fraud Detection
Authors: Suriani Seri , Abubakar Herminawaty , Nur Indrayani , Selamet Sugiarti , Abustan Abustan
Published: September 2023

Fraud is an unlawful act committed by individuals, both from within and outside an organization, with the aim of obtaining personal or group benefits that directly harm others. Regional autonomy, which leads to the central government delegating authority to district/city areas, can also transfer the potential for fraud from the center to the regions. One of the government's efforts in preventing and detecting fraud is through audits; however, the performance of fraud detection is highly influenced by professional skepticism, auditor experience, and the limited time provided. This study aims to: (1) Analyze professional skepticism as an antecedent in an auditor's fraud detection. (2) Analyze the level of auditor experience in handling fraud, as not all auditors with experience uncover fraudulent activities. (3) Analyze the moderating role of time pressure in fraud detection. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, surveys, documentation, and the use of questionnaires. This research is a causal associative study. The total sample collected was 45 individuals, selected using convenience sampling. The results of this study indicate that: 1) Work Experience has a positive influence on Auditor's Ability to Detect Fraud. 2) Professional Skepticism has a positive influence on Auditor's Ability to Detect Fraud. 3) Time Pressure has a negative influence on Auditor's Ability to Detect Fraud. 4) Work Experience, Professional Skepticism, and Time Pressure collectively influence Auditor's Ability to Detect Fraud.
Revolutionizing Student Engagement: Artificial Intelligence’s Impact on Specialized Learning Motivation
Authors: Rizvi Samreen
Published: September 2023

The achievement of specialist formation necessitates students to be highly determined in order to take part actively in the learning and honing of skills. This article investigates how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help increase student commitment during their preparation for a specialized field. It is proposed that AI-powered technologies such as virtual assistants, intelligent tutoring systems, and algorithms are able to provide personalized feedbacks, adaptable evaluations, and individualized curriculums which address each learner's particular needs and preferences1. The paper surveys empirical studies as well as theoretical frameworks which present evidence on the advantageous effects of AI on motivation among students including autonomy, competency, and relatedness along with other factors. Moreover; it also delves into possible ethical issues associated with utilizing AI to boost student enthusiasm like data security or algorithmic bias – both must be taken into account carefully so that its integration into education can be done responsibly yet fruitfully. In conclusion; this abstract highlights the necessity for additional research alongside partnership between educators/ researchers/ developers who use AI technology if we want to make full use out of it while stimulating motivation amongst learners thus enabling successful realization of specialist formation objectives.
FEATURES OF THE APPLICATION OF THE CONCEPT OF THE LIFE CYCLE OF GOODS TO CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES
Authors: Ivanova I. B. , Samigullina D. R.
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the feasibility and features of the application of the concept of the life cycle of a product in the construction industry. First of all, the features of the product life cycle are given, highlighting four stages: introduction, growth, stabilization, decline. Based on the analysis of special literature, the author's definition of the life cycle of a capital construction object was formulated. The specific features of the application of the concept in relation to buildings and structures are highlighted. In addition, the author's approach to identifying stages and stages in the life cycle of objects is proposed. The use of a wave life cycle model or a “repeated cycle” curve for capital construction projects is substantiated. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of this topic from a practical point of view on the example of the brewery “Ponart” located in Kaliningrad. This object has the status of a cultural heritage site of local (municipal) significance. A chronological table of events that affected the object, starting from 1849 until the publication of the article, is given, highlighting the pre-investment stage, the stage of implementation, operation and liquidation of the object. On the basis of the data obtained, the authors have constructed a curve of the life cycle of an object, with the identification of phases of the life cycle. In the final phase, a marketing strategy was developed for the current operational phase.
THE PHENOMENON OF MULTICULTURALISM AS THE IDEOLOGICAL VALUE OF THE GLOBAL WORLD
Authors: Pilyushenko A. V.
Published: September 2023

The problem of global world raises new questions in the field of socio-humanitarian research. The activity and scale of intercultural communication in the modern world leads to the formation of various concepts in the field of theory and practice of ethnic groups and interethnic relations, each of which has different ways to resolve the conflict of the national majority and minority. The article is devoted to the problem of multiculturalism as a social phenomenon of the new global world, which is based on the idea of the value of national identity and the principle that being special is good. Along with this, an overview of the melting pot concept aimed at the gradual elimination of cultural national differences is given. The considered concepts are studied through the plane of the evolutionary formation of the human thinking system, the historical nature of the formation of ethnic characteristics, including in the dialectic of the “friend - foe” relationship, formed during the relations of individual and group natural selection. The article also reveals the role of ethno-cultural features of behavior and thinking as a demarcation of “normality”, which has a supra-conscious nature and has the main source of rejection of behavioral cultural differences: one behavioral ethno-cultural normality overlapping with another generates conflict and rejection. It is emphasized that in multiculturalism this problem is solved through the idea of the value not of the usual, but of the special.
IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORTGAGE LENDING IN RUSSIA
Authors: Usmanova D. F. , Syrygin S. P.
Published: September 2023

Relevance of the research topic. The coronavirus crisis has had a controversial impact on the mortgage market. On the one hand, mortgages during the Covid-19 pandemic have become more profitable due to lower interest rates and a decrease in the size of the down payment. On the other hand, for many citizens who are faced with the loss of work or a decrease in income, mortgages during the coronavirus period have turned into an overwhelming debt. Government support in the field of mortgage lending during the Covid-19 pandemic spurred the growth of mortgage loans, this support helped to meet part of the demand for mortgage transactions for 2021. Also, banks, from a decrease in interest on preferential mortgages on their proposed programs, received low income, in this situation borrowers who took out a mortgage under the state program in the first three or four months won. Mortgage lending is a very risky financing, both for lenders and borrowers, due to a number of interrelated reasons, such as imperfection of Russian legislation, reduced incomes of the population, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation with the COVID-19 pandemic has put many residents of Russia in a difficult position, especially those who, due to restrictive measures, faced disruptions in the activities of their organizations, having significantly lost income, but at the same time bears the burden of paying various kinds of loans, including including mortgage lending. Due to the introduction of the program for concessional mortgage lending, the dynamics of the mortgage market has increased, however, a decline in demand for mortgage loans is predicted after the completion of this program, which will lead to a decrease in the cost of housing. This trend will affect the collateral value of real estate purchased with a mortgage. The main problems of mortgages in the Russian Federation now are low incomes of the country as a whole and of each person individually, significant inflation, monopolization of the housing construction market, migration features, insufficient government participation in supporting mortgages and the underdevelopment of the mortgage securities market. The solution of the indicated restrictions will be possible only as a result of the general, progressive development of the country's economy in all its spheres: politics, social, construction, banking and other sectors. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the development of mortgage lending in Russia. Methods of comparison, generalization, analysis, tabular method were used in the work.

Authors: Zagoruiko I. N.
Published: September 2023

The article reveals the problems of modern schoolchildren and students’ new type of thinking, formed through the Internet dominant role in the information search and processing. Young people are in information noise conditions, while there are no tools to influence the information flow, the only way to avoid overwork is to perceive incoming information in fragments like in a clip. In this article the author made an attempt to consider comprehensively the phenomenon of clip thinking, to determine the factors contributing to its appearance in generation Z, to analyze the criteria of cognitive-perceptual activity of clip thinking. This kind of analysis is feasible because of the interdisciplinarity of the phenomenon under consideration. The obtained results clearly illustrate the situation of the negative clip thinking impact on the traditional education system, since it is not able to fully ensure the material qualitative perception by students. Experts in this field note the need to change the entire structure in an evolutionary way, not breaking the usual scheme, but supplementing it with effective tools that help activate the clip thinking constructive aspects, including multitasking, information received rapid processing, solving tasks with the various modalities’ involvement. The use of relevant techniques in the educational process, provided by the various mobile devices’ potential, allows students to be interested, to teach them to work systematically and logically on a problem, to analyze, synthesize and verify the information that they generate themselves. The basic platforms, according to the author’s opinion, can be game learning platforms variety that involve in the educational process not only standard sources of information - textbooks, but also mobile devices that work as a digital ecosystem that allows you to solve any task of activating the potential of clip thinking. In conclusion, it was realized that the process of the classical educational system transformation is dynamically but systematically changing under the influence of a new thought process of the modern digital generation.

Authors: Lapin A. V. , Alekseev K. A.
Published: September 2023

The article proposes changes to the methodology of factor analysis of workshop costs, ensuring an increase in the efficiency of planning production costs of an oil company. The efficiency of production cost planning is often reduced due to the problems of feedback from the planning and economic service of the enterprise and oil production workshops. There are incorrect interpretations of the causes for variances of the fact from the plan and the resulting planning errors. There are incorrect interpretations of the causes for variances of the fact from the plan and the resulting planning errors. The analysis of the causes for variances of actually incurred costs from the planned ones, as a rule, is based on the method of factor analysis. The results of the analysis are the basis for the development of plans for subsequent periods. The aim of the study is to develop proposals to improve the efficiency of planning the production costs of an oil company. In the course of the study, an analysis of methods for identifying the number and composition of factors that are used to account for variances of actual costs from their planned values was carried out. It is revealed that an insufficient number of factors and the vagueness of their formulations lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of planning. The system of the main causes for the inefficiency of company planning is presented, changes in the methodology of factor analysis are proposed (an increase in the number of factors to nine, classification and change in the formulations of factors), indicators for assessing changes in the efficiency of production cost planning are developed. It is shown that the proposed changes lead to a qualitative improvement in the results of factor analysis of production costs and provide an increase in the efficiency of planning production costs of the company. The methodology was tested in the analysis and planning of production costs of LUKOIL-Perm LLC.
ROMANTIC MOTIFS IN THE WORKS OF M. YU.LERMONTOV AND IN MODERN CINEMA
Authors: Mikulaco Irena
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study in this article is to compare and analyze romantic motifs in the literary text and cinematography. The material of the study was the literary text - the poem “The Demon” by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov and the film “Wings of Desire” (Der Himmelüber Berlin) directed by Wim Wenders. The article examined the key concepts: romanticism as a “stylistic formation” and its main characteristics in the European and Russian contexts. Romanticism appears in art in general and reflects the philosophy, science, culture, politics, religion and attitude of the era after the French Revolution, and in this regard, the article discusses the concepts of the languor of the spirit and world sorrow, which are in the essence of romanticism and we find them in motives of the studied works. We paid attention to focalization, i.e. the problem of narrative space in the literary text and cinematography. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the approach to the study of two works of different arts (literature and cinematography), containing their original connections, intertwined with heritage and modern life, encoded in the context of the modern conceptualization of the world, i.e. the work compares what at first glance is incompatible. As a result, this study proved the similarity between the works of M. Yu. Lermontov's “Demon” and Wim Wenders' “Sky over Berlin” in romantic motifs, genre, plots, main characters, architecture, and landscape; in gothic, gloomy elements: in nature, in solitude, in colors, in sound and music.

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are measured in nanometers, provide an advantage over standard pharmaceuticals. As a result of this capability, they may be able to deliver smaller amounts of medication directly to the damaged cells in the body. CNTs accomplish this by lowering the probability of adverse reactions, minimizing injury to healthy cells, and boosting the targeting effectiveness for diseased cells at the same time. CNTs are effective nanocarriers for protein, DNA, and anticancer medicines during chemotherapy. This article covers the structure of carbon nanotubes and emphasizes its use in nano biosensors, cancer imaging, and drug delivery systems.

Abstract: Background: Security features play a pivotal role in authenticating various security documents, particularly financial instruments like cheques. In addition to safeguarding the identity of the holder, it is of utmost importance to shield these documents from forgery attempts. To achieve this goal effectively, the implementation of security measures such as watermarks, unique printing techniques, ultraviolet-visible features, VOID-Pantograph, Micro-Printing, and other relevant methods becomes imperative. CTS-2010 lays down some really important guidelines with respect to the use of security features in Indian cheques with an attempt to standardize it with the ever-changing technology along with the Modus-Operandi of the Criminal. Results: The current research paper conducts a comparative analysis of the security features being currently utilized in cheques across nine different banks in India, with the help of the VSC-8000 H/S system. Cheques adhering to the CTS-2010 standards share common dimensions. In terms of security, all reviewed cheques have watermarks with the bank's name and logo, often accompanied by "CTS-INDIA” along with UV Fluorescence Ink is used for bank logos and various elements like amount in words, emitting distinct colors under UV light. Unique micro lettering is present under the pay column, rupees column, and amount box. Notably, SBI, HDFC, and Union Bank cheques exhibit the highest number of security features, enhancing their security value. Conclusions: By meticulously identifying and scrutinizing the presence or absence of covert features in these cheques, the study emphasizes the significance of incorporating as many of these measures as possible to enhance the overall security value of cheques on a universal scale. These findings are crucial for banks and financial institutions, guiding them in fraud prevention and customer safeguarding. Through strong security measures and ongoing advancements in design, printing, and technology, banks can effectively reduce risks linked to counterfeit cheques and unauthorized modifications.
