Är ungdomars psykiska ohälsa ett uttryck för en samhällsneuros eller vantrivsel i kulturen?
Authors: Nilsson Håkan
Published: September 2024

I denna artikel görs en närläsning av Freuds bok Vi vantrivs i kulturen som utkom 1930. Syftet med denna närläsning är att diskutera och problematisera ungas psykiska ohälsa med hänvisning till allt fler rapporter som belyser olika ohälsofaktorer hos unga. I denna artikel tolkas dessa ohälsofaktorer som ungas upplevda vantrivsel i den samtida kulturen genom verklighetsflykt och utlevandet av detets driftbestämda lidelser (droger, mobbing, kriminalitet). En paradoxal tanke som Freud för fram i boken är samhällets Januslikande funktion; att både bidra till driftkonflikter, och skuldkänslor som att ge skydd för lidande.

Digitalization and Automation and AI: A Theoretical Framework of rethinking the Pollution Haven Hypothesis
Authors: Baafi Joseph Antwi , Asiedu Michael Kwame , Kumah Pearl Seyrem
Published: September 2024

This theoretical paper investigates the impact of digitalization, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) on environmental regulations, specifically through the lens of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH). It explores how these advancements influence pollution intensity and environmental compliance costs, challenging the traditional understanding of the PHH. Methodology. The study employs a Cobb-Douglas production function to model the relationship between technological innovations and environmental regulations. By integrating digitalization, automation, and AI into the model, the paper examines how these factors affect the economic incentives for firms to relocate to regions with lenient environmental standards. Findings. The analysis reveals that advancements in digitalization and automation reduce pollution intensity and lower the costs of complying with strict environmental standards. As a result, the economic incentive to relocate to pollution havens diminishes. In an open economy, the combination of stringent environmental policies and technological innovations leads to reduced pollution levels and a shift toward cleaner production processes. Practical Implication. The findings suggest that integrating technological innovations into environmental policy can make adherence to stricter regulations more economically viable, thereby weakening the appeal of pollution havens. This has significant implications for global sustainability efforts, as it highlights the potential for technology to support more effective and equitable environmental regulations. Originality. This study introduces a novel perspective by directly linking technological innovations to shifts in capital allocation and the efficacy of environmental policies. It offers a fresh understanding of the PHH in the context of modern advancements, providing new understanding into the relationship between innovation and environmental regulation.
Appearances and Realities of Post-War Reconstruction in Mozambique
Authors: Jones Branwen Gruffydd
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Mozambique is widely promoted on the world stage as a success story. The international community celebrates Mozambique’s success in achieving lasting peace after decades of war; in implementing economic and political reforms; attaining impressive and steady economic growth; and promoting peace, democracy and reform in the region of southern Africa. But what is the reality underlying this shining image of success and post-war reconstruction? This article seeks to expose the stark contrast between the discursive portrayal and celebration of Mozambique’s post-war path towards democracy, growth and development, and the concrete reality of ever-increasing inequality and the rise of systematic corruption and organized crime. The article first presents the dominant portrayal of Mozambique, giving examples from various discursive sites (official reports of international organizations, governmental documents, the media, etc.). The article then turns to explore the reality of Mozambique in the current period, focusing on two definitive aspects of Mozambique’s post-war condition. First, it describes the growing inequality that characterizes Mozambican society today, the ever-growing wealth alongside widespread poverty and social exclusion in both urban and rural areas. It then considers the entrenched culture of corruption and violence that has arisen in the context of neo-liberal reform, exemplified most tragically in the assassination of journalist Carlos Cardoso in 2000. The analysis draws on various sources, including interviews conducted by the author in 1999, official reports and documents, and the media.
On Cross-Border Languages and Cross-Border Collaboration between Malawi and Mozambique
Authors: Kamwendo Gregory
Published: September 2024

Abstract: One glaring consequence of colonial history is the placement of people speaking one language into different countries. Mozambique is no exception in this regard. With reference to one of its neighbours, Malawi, the two countries have languages such as Chichewa (also known as Chinyanja), Chilomwe, Chisena, and Chiyao cutting across their borders. The two countries, however, differ in terms of the statuses and degrees of corpus-planning treatment given to the cross-border languages. For example, the two countries use different orthographies for their cross-border languages. Another profound difference is that the language known as Chichewa in Malawi is called Chinyanja in Mozambique and other Southern African countries. This paper observes that it is not uncommon for neighbouring countries to set up cooperation agreements to handle the effective management of cross-border resources such as water and wild life. As an analogy, this paper argues that cross-border languages are resources that also deserve cross-border cooperation or collaboration in their management and development. It is in this spirit that the 1997 Harare Intergovernmental Conference on Language Policies in Africa (UNESCO 2002) urged African countries to cooperate in the management and development of cross-border languages. The current paper observes that this cooperation is largely lacking between Malawi and Mozambique. There is, therefore, the need to increase the level of cooperation between the two countries. Attempts are made in this paper to account for the current state of affairs. In addition, the paper outlines some of the benefits that can be gained from cross-border cooperation. The current state of the cooperation on cross-border languages is then subjected to a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis. The paper ends with the way forward. It has to be acknowledged at the very beginning that this paper is written from a Malawian sociolinguist’s point of view.

SECRET COMMITTEE "DEATH OR LIBERTY" THE MAIN PROPONENTS OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF ALBANIA
Authors: RAMETI Besnik
Published: September 2024

The injustices towards the Albanian people began from the decisions of the Congress of Berlin in 1878 and the bloody suppression of the uprising of the Albanian League of Prizren in 1881, where many Balkan states gained independence from the Ottoman Empire, while Albanians remained an integral part of it. At the beginning of the 20th century, Albanians were very unprepared both politically and organizationally. Thanks to some Albanian activists and patriots, in November 1905 the Secret Committee for the Freedom of Albania "Death or Freedom" was formed, which will organize the armed struggle against the Ottoman rule and the neighboring chauvinist circles that attempted to dismember the Albanian lands. This organization was formed in the city of Bitola under the leadership of Bajo Topulli, Fehmi Zavalani, Halit Bërzeshtës, Gjergj Qeriazit, Çerçiz Topullit, Mikhail Gramenos, Nuçi Naçit and many other patriots. The purpose of this organization was to raise awareness, brotherhood, love and unity in a joint fight against every ruler for the Freedom of Albania. This organization played the role of the central committee by sending patriots and activists to every province of the country where it formed its branches in the most important centers of the Albanian vilayets. It has also expanded its activity with patriotic societies abroad. In 1906 the Secret Committee for "Freedom of Albania" in the area of Korça formed the first armed units that operated until 1908 when the Congress of Bitola will be held. The bravery and courage of the armed groups together with the Congress of Bitola contributed so that the act of Albania's independence was to be written with these letters. 1912.

Authors: BEKA Delvina , OSMANI Qufli
Published: September 2024

This research aimed to analyze the relationship between parenting styles and academic achievement in high school students, at the same time determining the predictive value of parenting styles and sociodemographic variables in academic achievement. In this research 159 participants took part; 88(55.3%) of them were women, and 71(44.7%) of them were men, between the ages of 15 and 18. The Mensa questionnaire was used as a measuring instrument for parenting styles, while academic achievement was measured with the average grade. Through the SPSS statistical package, the data were analyzed, and through Pearson's correlation, it was proven that the democratic style has a significant negative correlation with academic achievements (r = -.182*; p = 0.021), and the authoritarian style has a significant negative correlation (r = -.265**; p = 0.001), while the neglectful and cooperative styles did not show a significant correlation in terms of academic achievement. Predictors: parenting styles and socio-demographic characteristics, turn out to explain the important criterion variable of academic achievements. The results obtained show that 22% of the variation in academic achievement is explained by the group of predictors together (R2 = 0.220; p <.000). A special focus on parenting styles and their promotion would be necessary for interventions aimed at improving academic performance.

Published: September 2024

On August 21, 1989, Turkey’s decision to close the borders with Bulgaria it was interpreted by the authorities in Ankara as an attempt to force Sofia through dialogue both governments to reach an immigration agreement. Turkey considering itself as the kin state several times tried to sensibilize and prove that ethnic Turks living in Bulgaria experienced continued repression and forced assimilation while Bulgaria perceived those attempts as long-term policy of Turkey in interfering on internal issues of Bulgaria. The confrontations between Turkey and Bulgaria increased with the decision of Turkey to address this problem within United Nations. In the recent academic literature, most of the studies are focused on the internal factors and practices related to the assimilation campaign, for the period 1985-1989. The purpose of this paper, it is to contextualize the arguments used in favor and against internationalization of the question of the Bulgarian Turks through multilateral diplomacy as an instrument used by state authorities in Turkey and Bulgaria. The term Bulgarian Turks it is used in the sense of ethnicity referring to the ethnic Turks living in Bulgaria and having the status of the minority group. In this paper will be analyzed the content of the documents delivered by the Permanent Representatives of Turkey and Bulgaria in UN to the UN Secretary General and UN General Assembly, and the reports of the UN Special Rapporteur appointed in accordance with resolution 1986/20. The paper it is guided by two research questions: What kind of engagement Turkey chose in raising the question of the Bulgarian Turks into UN level? What actions took Bulgaria within UN in negating the accusations for an assimilation campaign?

Sources of Internal Political Efficacy in the Social Studies Classroom
Authors: Kosberg Eva
Published: September 2024

This article explores lower secondary students’ perceptions of how their experiences in the social studies classroom might affect their sense of internal political efficacy (IPE). The qualitative data underlying the research are group interviews with 13- and 14-year-old Norwegian students, which were analyzed using a constant-comparative method. The students’ responses indicate that there are three obstacles to IPE facing the students in the social studies classroom: (1) the reactions of their peers in political discussions, (2) the perception that adolescents are not respected due to their young age, and (3) a view of opinions as fixed and hence unchangeable. The possible solutions given by the students are to work to enhance the level of respect and support that they experience in the classroom, to practice politics through carefully structured discussions, and to work in smaller groups. In analyzing the findings, Albert Bandura’s theory of how efficacy develops as a consequence of experiences in a person’s environment has been useful. The article also draws on Gert Biesta’s framework, describing how one central aim of education is to enable students to function as subjects in a world that brings both possibilities and limitations to their preferred actions. The main implication is that the social studies teacher should aim for critical analysis and raising awareness of different perspectives instead of focusing solely on the students' personal opinions.
Measuring the instrumental aspects of religious literacy of Estonian Basic School graduates
Authors: Sooniste Aleksandra
Published: September 2024

This paper presents findings from a 2022 survey that assessed the religious literacy of Estonian basic school graduates. The goal was to explore their attitudes toward various religious phenomena and their ability to navigate situations related to religious matters. The study involved 392 participants from large urban and small rural schools across Estonia. To conduct the survey, an original instrument was developed, taking into account the Estonian religious landscape, the National Curriculum for Basic Schools, the educational model of religious literacy by Matthew Francis and Adam Dinham, the characterization of religious literacy by Diane Moore, Francis, and Dinham, and Robert Jackson’s definition of religious competence. The results highlight the state of religious literacy in Estonia, one of the world’s least religious countries, with minimal public education on religions and worldviews. The survey indicates that part of Estonian basic school graduates lack the competencies to operate in situations requiring religious literacy.

Cet article révèle que la REGIDESO réalise des résultats significatifs ; les ratios de liquidité immédiate de ces trois années sont positifs. Cela signifie que la norme générale est respectée. En effet, comme généralement admise elle se situe dans l’intervalle soit 0,25 à 0,5. Néanmoins, il présente peu d’intérêt pour l’entreprise étant donné les facilités bancaires et l’usage généralisé de la trésorerie zéro. Au contraire, l’entreprise doit plutôt se garder de la « surliquidité », synonyme de « sur immobilisation » improductives des ressources financières à long terme. L’entreprise dispose de ressources excédentaires. En revanche pour les exercices 2019 et 2021 les besoins en fonds de roulement sont positifs. Ceci traduit un besoin de financement réel de l’entreprise. Elle accuse une rentabilité commerciale, financière et économique positive avec une solvabilité positive en liquidité et en trésorerie. Tous ces éléments indicatifs résument la structure financière de cette entreprise est jugée bonne.

The issue of street trees in urban planning is being addressed in Brazzaville, Congo. The aim is to improve urban space, in particular resilience for the well-being of city dwellers, by making the most of trees. As little attention has been paid to spatiotemporal research into the place of avenue trees in urban planning, the study targets ecosystem services rendered to society, once the paving of communication arteries is effective. The methodology is based on the inventory and enumeration of arborescent woody plants d1.30 ≥ 10 cm, present in 32 arteries, meeting precise criteria. Notwithstanding the measurement of d1.30 and tree height, the data collected includes the distance between trees and roadways, the area reserved for the plant and an assessment of the damage caused. The inventory lists 1,866 woody plants grouped into 41 species, 30 genera and 15 families. The allochthonous-dominated flora cohort includes several senescent individuals. Urban resilience and well-being are underpinned by above-ground biomass (81.68 t/ha/year) and sequestered carbon (40.84 t/ha/year). The carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestered would be 386.69 tones. In terms of infrastructure destruction, Terminalia mantaly and Terminalia catappa come out on top.

Authors: Белякова Н.В. , Коруков Д.А.
Published: September 2024

В статье рассматривается, как соотносятся понятия толерантности и морали человека. Толерантность и мораль так или иначе связаны. Толерантность вытекает из общего представления о морали, поэтому принято считать, что толерантность и мораль имеют прямую взаимосвязь: чем выше один показатель, тем выше другой, высокий уровень толерантности соответствует высокому уровню моральной составляющей личности. В данной работе гипотеза, что уровень толерантности и уровень моральных качеств личности всегда взаимосвязаны, была подвергнута опытной проверке. Моральная составляющая личности оценивалась в исследовании посредством опросника моральной идентичности (MIQ), уровень толерантности определялся с помощью экспресс-опросника «Индекс толерантности».

The article examines how the concepts of tolerance and human morality relate. Tolerance and morality are connected in one way or another. Tolerance follows from the general idea of morality, therefore it is considered that tolerance and morality have a direct relationship: the higher one indicator, the higher the other, a high level of tolerance corresponds to a high level of the moral component of the personality. In this article, the hypothesis that the level of tolerance and the level of moral qualities of a person are always interrelated has been experimentally tested. The moral component of the personality was assessed in the study using the moral identity questionnaire (MIQ), the level of tolerance was determined using the express questionnaire «Tolerance Index».

Published: September 2024

This study examines the perceptions and attitudes of university students toward electronic learning (EL) during the COVID-19 pandemic, analysing the factors that influence their acceptance and engagement with online education platforms. A combination of technological, pedagogical, institutional and individual considerations has been assessed to understand the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to EL. Factors such as performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, perceived usefulness and ease of use are observed to shape student acceptance. Furthermore, individual innovativeness and EL preparedness are identified as positive influences on EL adoption. The research findings highlight the importance of addressing the digital divide to ensure equitable access to EL systems and suggest that enhancing digital infrastructure, fostering digital literacy and involving students in developing EL policies could improve educational outcomes in higher education institutions.

Published: September 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive case study examining a large-scale video migration project carried out by the USC Digital Repository involving oral history interviews from the Television Academy Foundation, captured in high-definition video (HDV). Unlike the more-widely compatible MiniDV format, HDV poses unique challenges due to its distinct format standard, rendering many open source toolsets geared towards capturing DV content incompatible. Consequently, this leaves archivists to rely on unsupported, proprietary tools, exacerbating the complexities inherent in large-scale migrations. Before presenting the troubleshooting process, this paper provides an overview of The Foundation’s Interviews collection, which includes over 900 interviews spanning over 3,000 hours of catalogued and publicly accessible first-hand accounts of television industry pioneers and professionals. Subsequently, the paper delves into the technical intricacies of the HDV format and the challenges of migrating data from HDV. It examines the strategies considered for identifying and addressing corrupt data, alongside implemented solutions aimed at balancing data authenticity with usability in the face of inevitable corruption occurrences throughout the collection. This study not only sheds light on the challenges inherent in preserving HDV content but also offers guidance for future endeavours seeking to safeguard valuable cultural and historical materials in similar formats.

Podcast audiences in the USA are enjoying unprecedented growth, with nearly 100 million weekly listeners in 2024. Forecasts suggest that podcasting advertisement revenue will surpass US$2bn in 2024, reaching nearly US$2.6bn by 2026. At the same time, however, the business community (ie audio industry experts, including media decision makers at large agencies and brands) continue to have questions regarding the medium’s safety and suitability for brands. This paper provides a multi-modal study that juxtaposes the myths and opportunities in podcast advertising across genres. It reveals that consumers remain open to brands that advertise on podcasts and they find their titles to be engaging,
informative and entertaining.
THE IMPACT OF DESIGN VARIABLES ON THE HEAT DEMAND OF A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN THE COLD REGION
Authors: Roshan Mehdi Mirza Goltabar
Published: September 2024

This study is about the impact of early design decisions on the heat demand of a small residential building. Heat demand is a significant part of the energy use of residential buildings in the Cold regions. Reducing this demand will reduce the strain on national energy resources and even allow buildings to become energy neutral or independent with the addition of energy supply and storage systems. Based on a case study building of apartments, the simulation study explores the impact of several individual design aspects: insulation, orientation of glass facades and building shape. Furthermore, the balcony facade of the case study building is compared to a plain facade and a sunspace (balconies with a glass facade) in terms of heat demand and comfortable use (operative temperature). Based on these studies a final set of design guidelines is developed for designers interested in designing small residential buildings with low heat demand.

Published: September 2024

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue proponer un plan de acción para la creación de brigadas forestales comunitaria en el Cantón de Pujilí, Cotopaxi, Ecuador. Metodología: El estudio presenta un diseño no experimental con un enfoque cualitativo a un nivel exploratorio de tipo documental. Los métodos de investigación aplicados en la búsqueda y análisis de la investigación son el analítico sintético, hipotético deductivo y revisión bibliográfica. Resultados: A través de varios autores se analizó como en esta región factores como la distancia, la topografía, el tiempo de respuesta de los grupos de extinción de incendios forestales o bomberos, inciden en una rápida respuesta y el tiempo de llegada al incendio forestal es muy tardío y como consecuencia de esto, los incendios que podrían ser controlados en su etapa de inicio, toman fuerza llegando a consumir numerosas hectáreas de vegetación. Conclusiones: Se concluye que la conformación de brigadas comunitarias voluntarias sería de mucha ayuda para la actuación rápida en caso de incendios forestales incidiendo en el cuidado del ecosistema, la conservación de paramos, especies animales y plantas nativas del sector. Estas deberán ser capacitadas y entrenadas ya que, al ser comuneros locales del sector, el tiempo de respuesta y de extinción del incendio sería mínimo o al instante, y con el conocimiento empírico topográfico del terreno sería de mucha ayuda. De esta forma las pérdidas forestales serían muy pocas conservando un ambiente seguro y saludable.
