Grupo de Pesquisa de Realidades: 10 anos de estudos em arte-tecnologia
Authors: Laurentiz Silvia
Published: June 2022

O Grupo de Pesquisa Realidades - das realidades tangíveis às realidades ontológicas - foi criado em 2010 e está sediado na Escola de Comunicações e Artes da Universidade de São Paulo, credenciada pela Instituição e pelo CNPq, Brasil. Já possui uma grande produção, desde trabalhos artísticos, textos, entrevistas, organização de eventos, entre outras produções técnicas, que pode ser consultada em http://www2.eca.usp.br/realidades. Na sua investigação inicial, o Grupo Realidades investigou como tratar de forma coerente determinados termos e categorias mantendo um diálogo entre diferentes áreas do conhecimento, para além de apontar contrapartidas da quebra de certas coerências conceptuais promovidas por este diálogo. O objeto de estudo dos primeiros projetos era justamente conhecer e expandir termos como simulação, virtualidade, hibridização, bem como propor novos dispositivos, interfaces e usos para as tecnologias. Na proposta atual, o grupo inaugura novas linhas de pesquisa que abordarão fenômenos contemporâneos no campo das mídias digitais, observando criticamente a experiência na intersecção entre artes, ciências e comunicações em mídias locativas, performances audiovisuais, realidade aumentada, vídeo 360º e fotografia, inteligência artificial, modelagem tridimensional e prototipagem digital, entre outros. Também considera questões mais amplas que surgem nesse contexto em relação às formas de enfraquecer o consenso em torno das alternativas de representação da ealidade, que acontecem em função da explosão informacional, e do mapeamento de padrões, além de observar aspectos políticos dessas discussões. Para cumprir esses objetivos, que ampliam significativamente os problemas iniciais, redesenhamos nossas linhas de pesquisa em 2020, que agora são definidas como: 1. Pensamentos Codificados; 2. Processos Audiovisuais; e 3. Crítica poético-política. As linhas de pesquisa apresentam metas, objetivos e resultados específicos, que se somam sem deixar de atender aos objetivos gerais do grupo. É importante dizer que o grupo tem uma produção diversificada, mas é evidente que os trabalhos artísticos se destacam. Em nossas obras de arte, a relação intrínseca entre teoria e práticas criativas é essencial. Podemos constatar o resultado dessas práticas e processos criativos nos trabalhos que realizamos e que já foram exibidos em mostras nacionais e internacionais. Todas as informações sobre cada um podem ser encontradas no site do grupo. Começaram com a Série Enigmas, desenvolvida entre 2012 e 2017. Esta série tem 3 produções e algumas versões. Temos também a série “When the Stars Touch”, com duas obras, uma criada em 2019 e outra em 2020. Em 2017 produzimos a instalação Dynamic Crossing, que participou no ISEA 2017 - 23º Simpósio Internacional de Arte Eletrónica, em Manizales , Colômbia. A arte mais recente do grupo é “InMemoriam”. Ainda está online e pode ser acessado em seu site.
O colofão: Onde as partes móveis se juntam
Authors: Meyle Lucy , O'Hara Emily , Redmond Monique
Published: June 2022

Esta proposta considera o colofão como uma estrutura conceitual para pensar listas e listar dentro de nossa(s) prática(s) criativa(s). Convencionalmente, o colofão é um pequeno trecho de texto que detalha informações sobre a realização de uma publicação ou seu uso pretendido. Na maioria das vezes, o colofão especifica “como, onde e quando”: os tipos de letra e de papel; o local, data, número da edição e método de impressão. Também pode colocar em primeiro plano os aspectos relacionais da publicação — o “com quem” ou o “porque aqui”. Os colofões aparecem na abertura ou no fechamento de publicações, e as informações deles podem formar uma espécie de lastro para o que os precede ou os sucede. Ou seja, a listagem do trabalho material, processual e relacional que foi necessário para fazer as publicações é reconhecida como uma necessidade estrutural. Como essa concepção de colofão é útil para pensar sobre os outros tipos de listas e listagens que fazem parte de nossas práticas? Folhas de execução; listas de materiais; conteúdos; listas de títulos; índices; legendas; glossários; registros; manifestos; cronologias. Estes tipos de “listagem” comunicam contextos relevantes e importantes e, desta forma, tornam-se uma parte conceitual dos próprios trabalhos criativos. Estes formatos também são práticas citacionais onde os materiais, processos, informações e relações são compartilhados livremente — como qualquer exto escrito estaria na lista de referência de uma publicação. Em seu livro, “The Hundreds” (2019), as teóricas culturais Lauren Berlant e Kathleen Stewart listam textos de Adorno e Agamben ao lado de “uma máquina de cozinhar ovos” e “alguns amores-perfeitos presos em uma caixa de janela” na seção de referência, todos em ordem alfabética, sob o título “Algumas coisas com as quais pensamos”. Esse tipo de lista (e o próprio conceito de colofão) não é uma divisão indiscriminada em partes separadas, mas um destaque estratégico das condições e abstrações da obra de arte. Como surgiu a coisa (lista) que vocês tinham antes de se unirem, e como você poderia “fazer” também? Como você pode fazer escolhas diferentes e quais seriam essas escolhas? O colofão, como estrutura, existe não apenas para reconhecer o que contribui para uma publicação, mas também para rastrear possíveis pontos de desvio da convenção. Como uma tática dentro da prática criativa, o colofão é como uma abstração conceitual; ele contém todas as partes constituintes que compõem um projeto em um só lugar. O “com” que Berlant e Stewart exploram é a chave para o “como, onde e quando” das relações que o ato de listar reúne. Este artigo irá compartilhar três perspectivas sobre a listagem como uma tática sincronizada com a ação funcional de um colofão. Onde palavras e imagens podem girar, torcer, desviar, inclinar-se e acenar com a cabeça, e a forma conceitual de um projeto toma forma “com” as coisas.
O processo criativo na mídia digital
Authors: Steagall Jaqueline
Published: June 2022

Esta pesquisa baseada na prática é apoiada nas ideias de Pierre Levy e Steven Johnson como colaboradores do pensamento técnico, e em Fayga Ostrower, que desenvolveu análises em desenho e software digital. Para uma definição que norteia este estudo, o processo criativo é uma trajetória de trabalho, em que a criação é uma rede em construção, um diálogo permanente entre a prática e a reflexão. No presente estudo, temos o processo criativo compartilhado entre os seguintes componentes: o artista como usuário e manipulador do software, o conhecimento da interface gráfica e a sensibilidade artística de manuseio, que permitem compreender as escolhas emergentes ao longo de todo o processo criativo, como a seleção do software digital e das ferramentas que melhor se adequam ao desenvolvimento. Síntese dos problemas A mídia digital cria um novo nicho de conhecimento e foco para a pesquisa, pois dá conta da criação de novos campos para a ação do ser humano e, portanto, novos campos de trabalho, como apontado por Flusser (2012). Compreender interface gráfica permite compreender a relação que o ser humano estabelece com a máquina, suas experimentações, visto que são superfícies para simulações, originando um espaço onde as potencialidades criativas do ser humano podem se materializar. É, portanto, um espaço comunicativo de humanos e mídias digitais, onde diferentes informações digitais são encontradas, fazendo com que o software responda às necessidades do usuário (JOHNSON, 2001). Interface é o campo de ação do artista, de investigação para a produção da obra digital. Concluindo, os artistas, manipuladores da relação entre o ser humano e a imagem, incorporaram a tecnologia como input de expressão em sua produção, o que os tornou artistas digitais. Os artistas aceitam o mundo de acordo com suas impressões e permitem que essas experiências passem a fazer parte da obra. A multiplicidade de obras em meio digital forma os rumos artísticos, a escolha dos caminhos, materiais e formas de ação de cada artista, caracterizando outras visualidades. O processo de conhecimento é um ponto fundamental para a compreensão desta rede, uma vez que observamos, nos trabalhos realizados e entregues ao público, que as ações selecionadas indicam o desdobramento da trajetória do artista. As abordagens empregadas em nossa pesquisa podem ampliar os processos de estudo do assunto, no sentido de que certamente desconstroem as possibilidades unicamente técnicas, para evidenciar a compreensão de um processo de construção criativa. A apresentação assume um estilo de comentário sobre a prática, onde o autor demonstrará as principais ideias propostas neste estudo.

Authors: Da Silva Rafaela Morais , Rocha Diego Pires , Schwingel Paulo Adriano , Montenegro Iracema H. Pires de Mélo
Published: June 2022

Este estudo traz uma análise do uso complementar de metodologias alternativas no ensino de Anatomia Humana em uma universidade pública do Vale do São Francisco, uma vez que o processo de ensino-aprendizagem se aprimora constantemente para a melhoria da educação. A elaboração de novos métodos de ensino é uma estratégia para agregar e tornar mais prazerosas as aulas de uma disciplina e driblar os desafios da aula tradicional, como, neste caso, a dificuldade para a obtenção de cadáveres para dissecação. Dessa forma, discentes matriculados na disciplina Anatomia Humana Sistêmica oferecida em cursos da área de saúde de uma universidade brasileira (n=79) realizaram algumas aulas práticas de maneira tradicional (utilização de modelos plásticos e cadavéricos) e outras nas quais foram empregadas metodologias alternativas. Para cada conteúdo foi aplicada uma atividade, como: pintura corporal, tapete facial, jogo Imagem e Ação, modelagem com argila, livro de história, papercraft e pintura em papel. Cada aula ministrada foi avaliada quanto à obtenção de conhecimentos pelos estudantes por meio de pré e pós-testes e questionários específicos, e a satisfação discente de acordo com a metodologia utilizada foi mensurada através de questionário com escala do tipo Likert. Ficou evidente que as metodologias alternativas promoveram a aprendizagem em Anatomia Humana, propiciando melhor retenção do conhecimento adquirido, tendo sido bem aceitas por universitários dos cursos de ciências da saúde.

Published: June 2022

In Mediterranean basin, citrus culture is expanding rapidly with a growing demand for high-quality saplings. Protected cultivation with fine microclimate conditions control is the best process of citrus saplings growing with the required quality. In this context, the developed microclimate of a tunnel citrus saplings greenhouse and its effects on plant activity parameters, such as leaf temperature and transpiration, were investigated. The findings show that the temperatures of air and plant leaves inside the greenhouse are highly variable between 6 °C and 33 °C and from 8 °C to 30 °C, respectively. Results also show that greenhouse air humidity is very high – more than 80%. The analysis of plant transpiration based on greenhouse microclimate conditions and leaf temperature reveals that (i) plant transpiration varies throughout the day (between 1.9 and 65.7 mg m−2·s−1); (ii) leaf temperature simulation can be used as an indirect indicator of plant water stress; and (iii) the simulated temperature difference between the leaves and the internal air of the greenhouse can be used to define the minimum threshold air temperature for proper plant development under the greenhouse conditions.

Authors: Rahimi-Ajdadi Fatemeh , Khani Mahdi
Published: June 2022

Over the last decades, north of Iran underwent remarkable land use/cover changes due to socio-economic and environmental factors. This study, focused on agricultural land changes for the period of 1990–2020 at Shanderman, Iran, employed Landsat 5 TM, and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS images. A supervised maximum likelihood classification technique was utilized for the purposes of satellite data classification to four classes: agricultural land, forest, grassland, and built-up area. Results of land change modeller showed that, during the last three decades, agricultural land, grassland and forest decreased by 42.81%, 35.50%, and 4.05%, respectively, while built-up area increased by 361.23%. Most of the losses in agriculture areas occurred in 1990–2011 (44.64%). The predominant losses in 2011–2020 belonged to the forestland (12.47%), making them approx. 3.44 times higher than in 1990–2011. The results highlight the need for serious attention to the deforestation phenomenon, which leads to the conversion of forest into agricultural and built-up areas.

Authors: Meddour Ahmed Salah Eddine , Souas Farid
Published: June 2022

A study of the flow behavior of Algerian crude oils obtained from different fields in the TFT region (Tin Fouye Tabankort/South Algeria) was conducted using the AR2000 rheometer equipped with a Couette geometry. Rheology experiments were carried out at different shear rates and temperatures to predict the transport characteristics of crude oils. The results obtained show that all crude oils studied exhibit non-Newtonian behavior at low shear rates and quasi-Newtonian behavior at high values of the shear rate gradient. The analysis of the obtained rheological data revealed that the increase in temperature had a positive effect on the flow behavior of crude oils in pipelines.

International Differences in the Perceptions of Export Obstacles By SMEs in the Same Firm-Level Characteristics: Evidence from European Countries
Authors: Civelek Mehmet , Polách Jiří , Švihlíková Ilona , Paták Milan
Published: June 2022

Research background: Most of SMEs encounter many impediments when performing direct exporting activities. This is because various countries have different legislative and tax burdens and cultural-linguistic diversities that create export barriers for SMEs from other countries. Even SMEs that are the same size, age, from the same sector or legal form, their perceptions of export obstacles might differ depending on countries where they are located.

Purpose: This research investigates the differences between the export obstacle perceptions of SMEs from different countries but with the same firm-level characteristics

Research methodology: To achieve this aim, the researchers apply a random sampling method to determine the research sample. Moreover, the researchers created an online questionnaire to gather the research data. Finally, 408 SMEs from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary have been analyzed by performing a Kruskal-Wallis analyses with the Dunnett T3 Post Hoc Test to achieve the aims of the research.

Results: The empirical results express the differences and the similarities between the perceptions of export obstacles by SMEs. While the perceptions of Czech-Hungarian and Slovak-Hungarian SMEs do not differ in any same firm-level characteristics, the differences exist between Czech and Slovak SMEs that are smaller in size, older and, that have limited liability and sector categories. Compare with their Czech counterparts in these categories, Slovak SMEs perceive export obstacles less intensively. The approaches of a government on SMEs and investment freedom in a nation and the exporting patterns of SMEs might be the reasons for these similarities and differences among SMEs in various countries which are in the same age, size, sector and legal form categories.

Novelty: The significant results that this research proves in same firm-level characteristics and an international context makes this paper unique research in the literature. Therefore, policy makers, academicians, SMEs, and financing institutions might gain many benefits from the findings of this study.
The Impact of Firm Size on Corporate Indebtedness: A Case Study of Slovak Enterprises
Authors: Gajdosikova Dominika , Valaskova Katarina
Published: June 2022

Research background: Debt is considered a normal part of enterprises these days. If enterprises do not have enough equity, they will start to use a large amount of debt which is mainly associated with indebtedness. Rising indebtedness can be a difficult financial situation for business entities in the form of default and inability to meet their liabilities.

Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to perform a debt analysis of enterprises operating in sectors that are considered leading in the conditions of Slovakia, such as the manufacturing and construction sector, and subsequently, to examine whether the size of the enterprise has a significant impact on selected indebtedness ratios.

Research methodology: Firstly, the debt analysis was performed using the six selected indebtedness indicators on a sample of 846 enterprises. Secondly, a more detailed analysis, focused on examining the existence of statistically significant differences between individual indebtedness ratios concerning the size of the enterprise, was realized using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. At the end of the research, the Bonferroni corrections were used to identify where the stochastic dominance occurred.

Results: The impact of the enterprise’s size on the calculated indebtedness indicators is confirmed by the results of ANOVA, based on which it can be argued that statistically significant differences between the calculated indebtedness indicators exist between large and small enterprises, as well as an inequality of medians between large and medium-sized enterprises. As a result, the median values of the debt ratios of small and medium-sized enterprises are the same.

Novelty: The contribution of this paper is a new feature of the application of debt analysis for the evaluation of corporate performance. There are only a few papers in Slovakia that focus in detail on an analysis of the indebtedness of individual enterprises and with an examination of the determinants that affect this indebtedness, which is, however, an added value of our contribution.

The Nexus Between Bank Credit Risk and Liquidity: Does the Covid-19 Pandemic Matter? A Case of the Oligopolistic Banking Sector
Authors: Magwedere Margaret Rutendo , Marozva Godfrey
Published: June 2022

Background: There is a raging debate on how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the financial market environments, affected the banks’ strength as the credit channel, and the nexus between market liquidity and credit risk. During the COVID-19 crisis in the banking sector, credit risk and liquidity risk cannot be ignored as they have a considerable bearing on the performance and survival of banks.

Purpose: Within the context of COVID-19, bank-specific and external factors were examined to determine the relationship between liquidity and the credit risk of South African domiciled banks.

Research methodology: Quarterly panel data from 13 South African domiciled banks from 2018 to 2021 were examined using panel data methodologies: fixed effects and the system GMM.

Results: In an analysis of the period between 2019Q1 to 2021Q1 the results suggest a positive relationship between liquidity and credit risk, the COVID-19 pandemic was found to have an implication on the nexus as the COVID-19 dummy variable was significant. Also, the results show that liquidity deteriorated with an increase in COVID-19 cases during the pandemic period. During the Pre-COVID-19 liquidity improved with a decrease in credit risk. Nevertheless, during COVID-19 liquidity was not influenced by credit risk. The results are contrary to the pre-COVID-19 period as the government interventions to support households and non-financial firms could have changed the dynamics of liquidity and loan losses.

Novelty: The pandemic has ushered in a novel set of responses whose lasting impacts are not yet certain. The originality of the article lies in the nature of the investigation, where the nexus between liquidity and credit risk under the COVID-19 shocks/pandemic set-up. This is a unique study as the study revealed that policymakers and researchers alike should pay particular attention to the vulnerabilities to shocks from within and outside of the financial system as COVID-19 was found to significantly affect liquidity and credit risk. Since the pandemic is still active, further research is necessary to examine the cointegrating and causal relationship in the long run.
An Analysis of Household Income in Poland and Slovakia Based on Selected Income Models
Authors: Trzcińska Kamila
Published: June 2022

Research background: Studies of income distributions may focus on describing empirical distributions by theoretical models. This approach can be useful for many reasons. When choosing a statistical model, it is important both to find out a theoretical distribution function that would characterize empirical frequency distribution and to choose suitable methods to calculate the parameters of the model. In the literature, there are proposals for various types of mathematical functions. Very high accuracy with empirical distribution is characteristic for Dagum and log-normal models. In 2010 Zenga proposed a new three-parameter model for economic size distribution which possesses interesting statistical properties.

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to apply and compare Dagum, log-normal and Zenga models to income distributions in Poland and Slovakia.

Research methodology: The studies are based on research data from the European Quality of Life Surveys (EQLS), whose purpose is to measure both objective and subjective indicators of the standard of living of citizens and their households. The estimation parameters were obtained by means of the maximum likelihood method and D’Addario’s invariants method.

Results: The results of the conducted approximations, presented in the paper confirmed the good consistency of the Dagum and Zenga distributions with the empirical income distribution of households in Poland and Slovakia.

Novelty: The Zenga distribution was used for the first time to describe the income distribution of the Slovak population and it allows the best fit to the empirical data of this country.

The amounts and diversity of insects make them significant contributors to ecosystems stability. Human activities are associated with rapid changes in the lighting conditions of ecosystems. These changes produce diverse alterations to behavior, physiology and, ultimately, population sizes of insects. The present review addresses the changes in insects that occurre upon anthropogenic light pollution. The insects that are active in nighttime are subject to direct negative impacts of light at night primarily because it shortens the foraging and proliferation periods and thus diminishes insect populations, whereas daytime species may benefit somehow due to the lengthening of the periods of their activity. The physiological state that allows insects to survive during winter, the diapause, critically depends on daytime duration; therefore, longer periods of illumination may result in a delayed or incomplete diapause in both daytime and nighttime insects. Migratory insects are subject to changes in focal light sources, because such changes may interfere with migration routes and thus lead to massive losses of insects. Indirect light pollution cases are associated with the use of light polarizing materials, such as asphalts pavements and polymeric films, which distort insects’ abilities to use light polarization for detecting of water surfaces. Although the almost ubiquitous light pollution is a relatively recent phenomenon, some insect species have already developed adaptations to it. However, the impact of light pollution on insects is still poorly studied not only because of their enormous diversity but also because of rapidly changing characteristics of artificial light sources, such as their luminosity and spectra. Proper choices of illumination parameters may not only ameliorate the negative impact of light at night on insects but also may help to develop illumination means of control of pests and synanthropic insects.
Effect of Different Feed Additives on Ensiled Carrot Straw as an Animal Feed
Authors: Muwakhid B. , Kalsum U. , Wati A. M.
Published: June 2022

The problem that often comes by farmers is a shortage of feed in the dry season; one of the technologies that can be used is silage. Carrot straw (CRS) can be used as a silage material because of its abundance and nutritional value, which is good for the livestock. The purpose of this study is to know about the differences in the provision of feed additives, i.e., Lactobacillus casei-A, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus casei-B of the composition of CRS  silage. Making silage by means of CRS was weighed, CRS was placed on a tray and added with feed additives based on experimental treatment, CRS was mixed thoroughly, stored, and closed in a laboratory-scale silo then placed at 26-28oC. CRS was given with three different feed additive treatments: CRS + 0.01% Lactobacillus casei-A, CRS + 0.01% Lactobacillus plantarum, CRS + 0.01% Lactobacillus casei-B. Ensiling was carried out for 21 days in four replications for each treatment, and each replication was made in duplicate. Statistical analysis after the data was obtained was using the SAS University application specification 4.0 red hat (64-bit) with code, and the difference between the treatment means (P<0.01) was determined using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). This study resulted that the different types of use of lactic acid bacteria had a significant effect (P<0.01) on organic matter content (OM), crude fiber content (CF), extract ether content (EE), nitrogen-free extract (NFE), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF). This study concludes that the difference in the provision of feed additives affects the chemical composition of carrot straw silage. To sum up, Lactobacillus casei-A has a good value on NFE while Lactobacillus casei-B has a good value on OM, CF, EE, NDF, and ADF.

Authors: Fushteі Oksana , Franko Nataliia , Sarancha Iryna
Published: June 2022

On the basis of the analysis of the existing philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical approaches the maintenance of the concept of "formation of vital competence of pupils" is opened. The life competence of boarding school high school students is defined as a set of integrative qualities that are formed in the process of education, upbringing, development, activity and find their expression in the ability and readiness for prosocial actions, social interaction. The success of life competence is defined as the success of physical, mental, social and spiritual functioning of man. Meaning are defined of factors of social influence on the process of formation of life competence of a person, namely the influences of: the environment; social order and type of culture of society; social status and sex of the individual on the process of forming the vital competence of the individual. Characteristics of the criteria for the formation of life competence of students of boarding schools is made through a set of indicators: motivational (the desire for life self-realization; the desire to gain recognition from others; the desire to become a successful person); cognitive (knowledge of: basic life competencies; norms and requirements of society regarding the manifestations of life competencies; components of the culture of life of the individual); and axiological (awareness of the importance of basic life competencies; recognition of basic life competencies as values; acceptance of basic life competencies as personal values) criteria. Evaluation of the results of the experiment allowed to determine the socio-pedagogical conditions for the formation of life competence of students of boarding schools, namely: the promotion of free life and social choice personalities in the conditions of a boarding school; directing the efforts of the teaching staff to create a favorable microclimate of the boarding school; ensuring early diagnosis of social disorders and adequate corrective intervention.
FRONESTICAL APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS OF TECHNICAL SPECIALTIES: MONITORING BY MEANS OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Habrusieva Nataliia
Published: June 2022

The rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and their active use in the educational process has been hugely intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the process of acquiring generic and specific competencies and determining learning outcomes, it is important to develop a system of observations that will allow to respond quickly to problems arising in educational practice. The article presents the results of monitoring the ability to make responsible decisions by future specialists of engineering specialties. The virtual educational environment ATutor of Ternopil Ivan Pulyuy National Technical University (Ukraine), created on the basis of the learning management system, has been used for data collection. The results of the study led to identifying the differences in the algorithm of responsible decision-making by students of engineering specialties depending on gender, year of study and the specifics of the chosen specialty. All these factors are to be taken into account in pedagogical practice for the formation of professional responsibility. A phronestic approach to understanding the content and essence of professional responsibility in the anthropogenic environment has been discussed. This approach takes into consideration the specifics of ethical knowledge and focuses on sustainable individual priorities to determine personal responsibility in a particular situation in accordance with social needs. The necessity of reconsideration of responsibility as an element of phronestic knowledge is substantiated; its importance in the training of future engineering specialists is specified. Prospects for further research on the use of the phronestic approach in professional pedagogy are formulated, the results of which can serve as guidelines for modernizing the strategy of teaching social sciences in higher education.
SOCIAL EXPECTATIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE: FROM THEORETICAL CONSIDERATION TO PRACTICAL APPLICATION IN WAR AND POST-WAR PERIOD
Authors: Savelchuk Iryna
Published: June 2022

The current state of research of the phenomenon of social expectations is analyzed, which made it possible to highlight the essence and features of social expectations of adolescents and young people. It is established that the existence of different approaches to understanding the concept of «social expectations of young people» is a reflection of the evolution of the phenomenon itself. The concept of «social expectations» does not have a clear theoretical and methodological definition, which complicates the implementation of the procedure of monitoring and evaluation of its results, in particular in martial law and postwar. It was found that the determinants of their implementation may be the characteristics of the young person (age, gender, region and place of residence).

It is shown that the focus on the future reflects promising areas of realization of social expectations. Taking into account the threats and challenges of martial law and post-war future orientation of young people leads to changes in values (education, work and career, cooperation, service), social (equality, social justice, national identity, patriotism, helping others), life (sustainability, strategic, self-efficacy, locus of control) and family (marriage, family and parenthood) perspectives.

The purpose of the study: to analyze modern theoretical approaches to understanding the phenomenon of «social expectations of young people» and identify promising areas of social expectations related to the measurement of threats and challenges of the war and postwar period.

The results of the study provide a theoretical expansion of the construct of «social expectations» by finding indicators of specific characteristics and factors of their formation, taking into account age, gender, environmental and regional aspects.
"Indigenous peoples" as a constructive concept: discourses and practices
Authors: Mosolova Lyubov' Mikhailovna , Bondarev Aleksei Vladimirovich , Zykin Alexey
Published: June 2022

The authors of the article, having considered a series of migrations of large and small peoples to different regions of the world, found out that the change of territories of their habitat during periods of long duration was a permanent historical process. Throughout the history of mankind, individual ethnic groups and sometimes even entire peoples have changed their places of residence for one reason or another, moving in many historically recorded cases to the territory already inhabited by other peoples, coming into contact with these peoples and developing in each case various (constructive or destructive) forms of interaction. This was the case in the past, these processes continue in the present and there is every reason to assume that this will happen in the future. The term "indigenous peoples" has a certain meaning only within the framework of colonial and postcolonial discourse, outside of these limits, this term is either heuristically meaningless, or acquires an instrumental-biased and even speculative character. Nevertheless, the vagueness and dubiousness of the term "indigenous peoples", oddly enough, does not prevent its use in scientific discourses, in solving identity problems, in ethnopolitical, socio-economic and international legal spheres.      The authors have revealed that this is due to the processes of mythoconstruction of national histories by small and large peoples and, to a certain extent, geopolitical interests.The more you delve into the analysis, the more you become convinced that the concept in question is not only not heuristically significant in scientific terms, but is also often used in large-scale socio-cultural myth-making, for political and geopolitical purposes, in fueling interethnic conflicts, in inciting national enmity and other similar situations. This dubious concept is anti-historical and dangerous for the process of preserving the peaceful and sustainable existence of peoples within and between States.
Endovascular embolization for pulmonary sequestration in adults: An adjunctive technique to delay surgical intervention
Authors: Thompson Tyler Scott , Lazarowicz Michael , Mahmoud Alaa , Heithaus Robert Evans
Published: June 2022

Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation characterized by a non-functioning segment of dysplastic lung that lacks communication with the bronchial tree and contains an aberrant systemic arterial supply. Pulmonary sequestration is classically managed surgically; however, surgical intervention is not always feasible on an emergent basis. We present two cases, in support of recent literature, that reinforce the use of transcatheter embolization to achieve hemostasis and delay surgical intervention.
Gastric tuberculosis with abdominal pain as the main symptom: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Yang Yanhua , Fu Yinghuan
Published: June 2022

Gastric tuberculosis is a kind of tuberculosis with lack of specific clinical manifestations. Patients often present with the upper abdominal discomfort or pain, and may also be accompanied by systemic symptoms of tuberculosis, such as fatigue, low fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Gastric tuberculosis is mainly diagnosed by gastric submucosal biopsy, but it is easy to be misdiagnosed due to differences in the selection of puncture sites and depths. As a rare type of tuberculosis, gastric tuberculosis often leads to a series of complications due to late diagnosis and delayed treatment. This article will report a case of gastric tuberculosis admitted to the literature in conjunction with the literature.

Araştırmada üniversite öğrencilerin duygusal zekaları ile liderlik yönelimleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi ve duygusal zekanın liderlik üzerindeki yordayıcı rolünü tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. İlişkisel tarama modelindeki araştırmada Trabzon Üniversitesi Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi’ndeki 263 öğrencinin görüşü alınmıştır. Araştırmada “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ile Bolman ve Deal (1991) tarafından geliştirilen Türkçe’ye uyarlaması Dereli (2003) tarafından yapılan Liderlik Yönelim Ölçeği ile Wong ve Law’ın (2002) geliştirdiği, Türk kültürüne uyarlamasını Uslu’nun (2019) yaptığı Duygusal Zeka Değerlendirme Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde betimsel istatistikler, t-testi, korelasyon testi ve regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Analizler, duygusal zeka ile liderlik yönelimi arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu, duygusal zekanın liderlik yönelimi üzerinde önemli bir yordayıcı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bunun yanında katılımcıların duygusal zeka düzeyleri ile liderlik yönelimlerinin orta seviyenin üzerinde olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca liderlik yönelimi incelendiğinde cinsiyet durumuna göre anlamlı farklılık görülürken, yaş değişkenine göre anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir. Duygusal zeka ölçeğine bakıldığında cinsiyet ile yaş değişkenleri açısından anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre duygusal zekaya sahip bireylerin liderlik yönelimlerini sergileme eğiliminde olduklarını söylemek mümkündür. Bu bağlamda duygusal zekanın liderlik yönelimi üzerinde oldukça önemli bir unsur olması sebebiyle duygusal zeka ile ilgili derslerin ders müfredatında yerini almasının; insanı önemseyen, empati kuran, duygu ve düşüncelerini ifade edebilen başarılı liderlerin yetişmesine fayda sağlayacağı için önemli olduğu görülmektedir.

The Portuguese State continues to hold a significant amount of public companies which, in turn, are responsible for important values for the Portuguese economy. This work analyzes the evolution of the Portuguese State as owner or manager of companies in the national economy. Additionally, this work also focuses on the evolution of the strategies developed by Portugal to identify and fight corruption cases involving public companies. The respective legislation has had more frequent contributions in the last 20 years. There was also a stimulus to fight corruption on a European scale, which motivated the Portuguese State to fight a more incisive fight against a problem that also attacks public companies themselves. This work will also reflect that when there is corruption in the universe of public companies – the resulting distortions are also, in turn, increased.
After the Keynesian paradigm and the paradigm of economic liberalism, a new paradigm based on "values"?
Authors: Bauby Pierre
Published: June 2022

Public-Owned Enterprises (POEs) are generally large economic enterprises owned and governed by state institutions. POEs generally are the sole or the main provider of the key public goods and services as water, electricity, transport, telecommunications, and postal services. If administered efficiently, the POEs are important for national development and perspective of natural economic resources. The concern is how accurately these monopolistic enterprises are organized in aspects of administrative and managerial perspectives to function as effectively as possible for the objectives they are created. Therefore an overall summary of the public-owned enterprises is presented through their process of emerging, privatization, and evolution in Albania, southeast Europe. The process was accompanied by shortcomings due to its ad-hoc nature; and associated with negative effects of bad management, governance corruption, and low efficiency of the operational activities and results.

Для создания условий для адаптации младших школьников педагогу важно помочь ребенку приспособиться к новым условиям в рамках учебного учреждения. Успех коррекционной работы в этом направлении во многом зависит от уровня развития познавательных процессов ребенка, от его интереса к тому или иному виду работы, в том числе и учебной деятельности. Для выявления адаптированности первоклассников к школе проведено исследование по изучению деятельности педагога в направлении адаптации детей младшего школьного возраста к условиям школы. В исследовании была применена коррекционная программа для повышения уровня адаптации.

To create conditions for the adaptation of younger schoolchildren, it is important for the teacher to help the child adapt to the new conditions within the educational institution. The success of correctional work in this direction largely depends on the level of development of the child's cognitive processes, on his interest in a particular type of work, including educational activities. To identify the adaptability of first-graders to school, a study was conducted to study the activities of a teacher in the direction of adapting primary school children to school conditions. In the study, a correction program was applied to increase the level of adaptation.
Supramolecular Enhancement of Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction Catalyzed by Cobalt Porphyrin Organic Cages for Ammonia Electrosynthesis in Water

Published: June 2022

The electrochemical nitrate (NO3ˉ) reduction reaction (NO3RR) to ammonia (NH3) represents a sustainable approach for denitrification to balance global nitrogen cycles and an alternative to traditional thermal Haber-Bosch processes. Inspired by bioinorganic nitrate reductase enzymes that feature a NO3ˉ transport channel to funnel substrate to the active site center and catalyze its reduction, we present a supramolecular strategy to enable capture and electrochemical conversion of NO3ˉ to NH3 in water by embedding molecular cobalt porphyrin (CoTPP) units into a porous organic cage structure. The resulting porphyrin box (CoPB-C8) promotes host-guest interactions for NO3ˉ as confirmed by 1H-NMR titrations, leading to a 13-fold increase in NH3 production rate and 200 mV decrease in overpotential relative to the parent CoTPP compound, achieving total turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) values exceeding 200,000 (33,858 per Co) and 56 s-1 (9.4 s-1 per Co), respectively. Systematic tuning of peripheral alkyl substituents of varying lengths (C1 to C13) on the supramolecular structure reveals the importance of balancing porosity and hydrophobicity for achieving gains in NO3RR activity. These findings establish supramolecular host-guest chemistry as an effective design strategy for enhancing molecular electrocatalysis
