„Warszawa to ja” – obraz Warszawy w felietonach Doroty Masłowskiej Mam tak samo jak ty (2023)
Authors: Janiec-Nyitrai Agnieszka
Published: February 2025

Celem artykułu jest analiza obrazu Warszawy, jaki wyłania się podczas lektury felietonów Doroty Masłowskiej Mam tak samo jak ty, wydanych w 2023 roku, a publikowanych w „Tygodniku Powszechnym” w latach 2020–2022. W artykule wyodrębnione zostały dwie główne kategorie: topos miasta jako labiryntu oraz topos miasta jako teatru (theatrum mundi). Kategorie te podlegają u Masłowskiej istotnym transformacjom i twórczym aktualizacjom, na przykład labiryntowa struktura nie dotyczy jedynie przestrzeni, ale staje się sposobem opisania czasu. Pisarka otwarcie nawiązuje do toposu świata-teatru, przedstawiając ludzi jako aktorów, jednak twórczo wzbogaca ów topos, podaje w wątpliwość istnienie wyższego porządku, a osiągnięcie harmonii uważa za niemożliwe. Masłowska idzie nawet o krok dalej – wątpi w istnienie jakiegokolwiek reżysera, odpowiedzialność zostaje więc zdjęta z bliżej nieokreślonej wyższej siły i zwrócona ludziom-aktorom, którzy sami muszą dźwigać jej ciężar. Uniwersalna figura labiryntu służy Masłowskiej do pokazania złożoności przestrzeni miejskiej Warszawy, jej palimpsestowej budowy, zawieszenia między przeszłością i przyszłością. Labirynt to już nie tylko labirynt przestrzenny, gmatwanina korytarzy, zaułków i nieznanych dróg, ale to również labirynt zapachów, labirynt splątanych ze sobą dźwięków, kolorów i faktur. Chodząc po Warszawie Masłowska doświadcza szczególnej synestezji, zlania się różnych doświadczeń zmysłowych. Labiryntowość jako cecha przestrzeni zostaje przeniesiona również na inne kategorie – labiryntem staje się czas, chaotyczny, rozbuchany, ułożony w sposób palimpsestowy. Masłowska skrupulatnie i w sposób przemyślany buduje swoją wizję Warszawy. Wykorzystuje znane i powtarzane w literaturze uniwersalne toposy, figury i wyobrażenia, ale jednocześnie z dystansem je interpretuje, nadaje im nowe znaczenia, twórczo je przetwarza. Dotyka najbardziej współczesnej problematyki, dotyczącej np. wyobcowania ludzi w przestrzeni miejskiej podczas lockdownu. Powstaje w ten sposób niezwykle bogaty znaczeniowo obraz Warszawy, będący odzwierciedleniem tęsknot, pragnień i refleksji samej autorki, zapis doświadczenia miasta, które jest zawsze swoje i zawsze obce jednocześnie. Zbiór felietonów Doroty Masłowskiej Mam tak samo jak ty to swoista kronika miasta, miasta będącego w ciągłym ruchu, miasta, które Masłowska stara się okiełznać, zrozumieć, które stara się poznać od podszewki. Podczas swoich peregrynacji po stolicy autorka zrasta się, chcąc nie chcąc, z tkanką miasta, Warszawa przenika ją i inspiruje.

Euro-Orphanhood – a New Dimension of Childhood in Migrating Families
Authors:   The Jan Kochanowski University of Humanities and Sciences in Kielce, Matyjas Bożena
Published: February 2025

This article presents a theoretical approach to the issue of euro-orphanhood as a new dimension of childhood in migrating families (single-parent/no-parent families). It discusses a migrating family in the context of parental care environment, reveals the consequences of mother’s or father’s absence, analyses children’s situation in migrating families, including the problem of loneliness, as well as examples of misbehaviour. It applies a pedagogical approach where the proper diagnosis of children’s situation is the basis for actions aimed at developing support, compensatory and preventive programmes (cf. B. Matyjas, 2005).
Nanoemprendimiento en el marco de la Industria 5.0
Authors: Canales-García Rosa Azalea , Juárez Toledo Rafael , Rojas Merced Juvenal
Published: February 2025

Nano-entrepreneurships are businesses operated by individuals known as nano-entrepreneurs, who serve as pivotal actors within the Industry 5.0 framework. In contrast to traditional nano-entrepreneurs, schumpeterian nano-entrepreneurs are characterized by their adaptability, resilience in the face of environmental challenges, commitment to sustainability, and their capacity to foster cooperative relationships. This paper aims to analyze the integration of the schumpeterian nano-entrepreneur into Industry 5.0, conceptualized as a system rooted in cooperative relationships. To achieve this objective, we propose a theoretical-conceptual model referred to as the Nano-entrepreneur System, which seeks to identify the categories that connect the schumpeterian nano-entrepreneur to this context. Additionally, a qualitative case study is conducted in the city of Toluca, State of Mexico. The findings indicate that, although schumpeterian nano-entrepreneurships are managed by a single individual, they embody fundamental values aligned with the principles of the Social and Solidarity Economy, including collaboration and a commitment to generating social and economic impact.
Tradiciones en el estudio del trabajo en plataformas digitales: una revisión de literatura
Authors: Cifuentes Leiton Diana Milec
Published: February 2025

El fenómeno de la mediación de internet en la relación persona-trabajo exige analizar las formas de organización laboral que se presentan en circunstancias diferentes a las del trabajo tradicional. El trabajo en plataformas digitales es una de esas formas, por ello, el objetivo de este artículo de revisión de literatura fue analizar las perspectivas desde las que se ha abordado este concepto en el mundo  científico. Para esta revisión de la literatura se optó por un enfoque cualitativo haciendo uso de un método metanarrativo, se utilizó la base de datos Scopus y procedimientos del Tree of Science para hallar un corpus de 80 documentos procesados con análisis de contenido y estadística descriptiva. Los hallazgos indican que el concepto se estudia principalmente desde dos tradiciones. La primera, describe que se trata de un nuevo tipo de trabajo que produce precarización laboral o de un nuevo sujeto trabajador que sufre ante condiciones de trabajo precarias; la segunda explicita que aún se precisan otros abordajes comprensivos para esta forma de trabajo. Se analizó el adjetivo nuevo encontrado en dichas tradiciones y la necesidad de enmarcar esta forma de organizar el trabajo desde una perspectiva histórica-económica. Se estipula que la complejidad del concepto abre la posibilidad de explorar otras comprensiones en futuras agendas investigativas.
Compras públicas sostenibles con el medio ambiente en Colombia: criterios ambientales y el objetivo 12 de desarrollo sostenible
Authors: Cardenas Poveda Margarita , Sarmiento Salcedo Magdalena
Published: February 2025

La contratación pública es uno de los instrumentos que, por excelencia, permiten materializar de forma real los fines esenciales del Estado consagrados en el artículo 2 de la Constitución Política, y actualmente, también cumplir con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030. Las Compras Públicas Sostenibles con el medio ambiente o aquellas que incluyen criterios ambientales encuentran relación directa con el objetivo número 12 relacionado con la producción y consumo sostenibles. Si bien, las estadísticas más recientes (2022) sobre el cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030 en Colombia no incluyen cifras directamente relacionadas con la contribución de las Compras Públicas Sostenibles  con el medio ambiente, como instrumento para lograr avances en este objetivo, es evidente que el marco regulatorio colombiano sobre esta materia es coherente, en gran medida, con el contenido de este objetivo y algunas de sus metas conexas, y por tanto, puede ser un instrumento ideal para alcanzarlo satisfactoriamente en el 2030.

А. Ф. ЛОСЕВ И СВЯТОЙ МАКСИМ ИСПОВЕДНИК В СРАВНИТЕЛЬНОЙ ПАРАДИГМЕ ЦЕРКОВНОГО ОПЫТА АСКЕЗЫ
Authors: Келеберда Нина Григорьевна
Published: February 2025

Цель исследования заключается в сопоставительном рассмотрении мировоззренческих аспектов А. Ф. Лосева и святого Максима Исповедника сквозь призму аскетического опыта.
Методы исследования. Исследование базируется на общенаучных методах дедукции, индукции, дифференциации и интеграции, а также включает сравнительный и биографический методы.
Результат исследования. Тема аскетизма в монашестве в сравнительной парадигме опыта А. Ф. Лосева и святого Максима Исповедника выступает своего рода индикатором «православности», а жизнеописание является основой для философских, теологических и богословских выводов. Автор приходит к заключению, что аскетизм как видимая общинная практика церкви, проявляющаяся во внутреннем благочестии, не выражена в характере мышления А. Ф. Лосева, что особенно очевидно в сравнении с принципами мышления Максима Исповедника — признанного отца церкви, и, следовательно, философские построения А. Ф. Лосева нельзя относить к опыту церкви.
Перспективы исследования. Результаты исследования являются дискуссионными и представляют интерес для философов, теологов и богословов, поскольку проблема интерпретации мировоззренческих установок А. Ф. Лосева как православных по преимуществу составляет опасную тенденцию для церковного сознания.
СКУЛШУТИНГ В СИСТЕМЕ СЕТЕВОГО ОБЩЕСТВА: СТРАТЕГИИ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ
Authors: Сергодеева Елена Александровна , Барсукова Татьяна Ивановна , Ляпунова Татьяна Георгиевна
Published: February 2025

Целью исследования является разработка методологических оснований исследования скулшутинга как деструктивного явления сетевого общества, выявления детерминирующих его факторов и функциональных последствий распространения.
Методологическую базу исследования представляют основные положения акторно-сетевого подхода. Для анализа скулшутинга как разновидности девиантного поведения и социальной патологии применялись процедуры структурно-функционального и социально-психологического подхода. Общая социальная оценка скулшутинга была произведена на основании социальных теорий сетевого общества и массовой коммуникации.
Результаты исследования. Показано, что скулшутинг как деструктивная девиация в дискурсе сетевого общества проявляется в различных сферах человеческой жизнедеятельности и требует во время анализа в первую очередь опору на особенности природы нашей объективной действительности. Он может пониматься как социальная патология, как деструктивная форма субкультуры, как инфоповод для стимуляции неопределённости и социальной раздражительности за счёт бесконечной репродукции образов, которые всё сильнее отдаляются от обыденной повседневности. Для самих скулшутеров их активность свидетельствует о желании совершения противоправных действий ради привлечения внимания.
Проведенный анализ позволяет предположить, что воздействие скулшутинга способно проникать в уязвимые сферы человеческой деятельности латентным способом, скрывая те инициирующие его факторы, которым не уделяется достаточное внимание.
Перспективы исследования заключаются в возможностях разработки комплексной методологии исследования скулшутинга и формирования мер его профилактики и предотвращения в сетевой среде современного общества.
Alignment with the EU sanctions policy: implications for Iceland
Authors: Davranova Sabina
Published: February 2025

The increased sanctions efforts of European diplomacy in recent years have formed a new angle of view on the European Unionʼs external policy towards neighboring countries, since one of the criteria of the EUʼs sanctions policy effectiveness is the so-called “regional leadership” – third countriesʼ alignment with the EU sanctions regimes. The established academicdiscourse on the topic in Europe evaluates the effectiveness of the sanctions policy on this parameter extremely highly. However, what, in fact, is behind the facade of the postulated successes of regional leadership? In this paper, the author asks this question in relation to Iceland, a country that has increased vulnerability in the face of external challenges and which has incurred incomparably high costs from harmonizing its foreign policy with the EU anti-Russian sanctions regimes. Using the theoretical and methodological frameworks of the shelter theory, this study documents the negative political and economic consequences that Iceland has faced and shows that there are no such categories as consideration and leveling of possible costs for affiliated countries in the goal setting of the EU sanctions policy. In the Icelandic case, this, in turn, leadsto a reformatting and polarization of the existing ecosystem of relations in the Euro-Atlantic, since the costs Iceland incurs from harmonization with EU policy are mostly compensated by the United States, although traditionally the U.S. has been responsible for Icelandʼs military rather than economic protection. The international political situation in the conditions of sanctions sets the stage for possible tensions in Icelandʼs relations with the EU and a stronger U.S. direction in its multilateral foreign policy. Nevertheless, despite these tensions, Iceland will continue to synchronize with the EU sanctions regimes, as other options are either fraught with even greater costs (synchronization with the U.S. sanctions policy, which is substantially tougher than that of the EU) or unrealizable in the international realities after the start of the Special Military Operation(developing its own sanctions regime).

Towards Efficient Video Codec for 360-degree Video Streaming over Broadband Network
Authors:   School of Computational and Communication Sciences and Engineering, The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology, Tanzania, Ulomi George S , Mongi Alex F , Dida Mussa A
Published: February 2025

Objectives: This study presents the compression efficiency analysis of AV1, H.265/HEVC, and VVenc based on the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion (VMAF) objective quality metrics. Methods: The study utilizes video sets from publicly available databases and YouTube. The video sets were compressed using High Efficient Video Codec (HEVC/H.265) and Versatile Video Encoder (VVenc) based on Common Test Conditions (CTC) for fixed-quality encoding at different rates. For STV-AV1, we use quantization parameters which result in the rate nearly the same as that of CTC. The encoders’ performance was evaluated using PSNR and VMAF objective metrics. Rate-distortion curves were constructed, and Bjøntegaard delta metric was computed to obtain bitrate saving/overhead between encoders. Findings: The superiority of the Versatile Video Encoder (VVenc) over STV-AV1 was unchallenged in eight out of twelve encoded 360-degree videos. The maximum bitrate saving of 72.6% and minimum of 12.8% is attained by the VVenc encoder compared to SVT-AV1. For the case of the HEVC encoder, the maximum and minimum bitrate overhead of 89.5% and 19.2% is required for it to achieve video quality similar to that of VVenc encoded video. Based on bit-rate saving, the SVT-AV1 encoder is the second most performing, especially for 6K and 5K resolution videos. It is further observed that the HEVC encoder outperforms VVenc and SVT-AV1 only in two video scenes, with average bitrate savings of 34.1% and 1.3%, respectively. Even though the popularity of HEVC still exists in most encoded 360-degree videos, the open-source STV-AV1 showed better results by outshining the HEVC in eleven out of twelve 360-degree video sets. The VVenc, an open-source version of H.266 surpasses other encoders, however, up to this moment, most of the Virtual reality platforms do not support the H.266 format. Novelty: High-resolution 360-degree video requires high-speed network infrastructure to transmit video packets. Therefore, a bandwidth-efficient video encoder must be selected to ensure an adequate immersive experience. It is well known that the HEVC encoder performance is far better than its predecessor X.264 yet, most publicly available 360-degree databases and published research works are based on video sequences encoded by using X.264 and few utilize the HEVC encoder. However, based on findings, STV-AV1 outshines HEVC with average bitrate saving of 11.6%, 34.9%, and 58% in 8K, 6K, and 4K resolution respectively making it a suitable candidate for encoding high-resolution 360-degree videos.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: To use the polymer that conducts Ammonium Persulphate (APS) as an oxidizing agent during the in-situ polymerization process to create polyaniline (PANI) and PANI-ZnO nanocomposites. Methods: PANI-ZnO nanocomposite optical band gap has been investigated at room temperature for varying weight percentages, including 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. The ZnO hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure was validated by the XRD pattern. The Debye-Scherer formula was used to calculate the particle size, which came out to be 38.27 nm. ZnO's distinctive peak, which can be seen in the obtained absorption spectra at 375 nm, is present in all weight percentages of the nanocomposites. The presence of peaks at 400 and 300 nm indicates that polyaniline has formed in the nanocomposites. Findings: Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) thermographs support the idea that thermal stability rises as the ZnO nanoparticle weight percentage in the composite increases. At room temperature, the dielectric characteristics of PANI and PANI-ZnO nanocomposites, including dielectric loss, dielectric constant, and AC conductivity, are studied as a function of frequency between 40 Hz – 5 MHz. Novelty: Multiple characteristic properties such as structural, optical, thermal, and dielectric properties have been studied on the Polyaniline/ZnO nanocomposites which are synthesized by in-situ polymerization technique for the first time.

Проблемы идентичности беременных женщин: обзор отечественных и зарубежных исследований
Authors: Колиниченко Ирина Александровна , Никулина Светлана Анатольевна
Published: February 2025

Представлен анализ феномена идентичности женщин в период беременности. Выявлено два основных вектора исследований проблемы материнства в современной психологии: материнство как взаимодействие с ребенком и материнство как аспект личности женщины.

Обосновывается необходимость продолжения работы по объединению самостоятельных направлений изучения материнства и идентичности для уточнения условий, при которых происходят принятие и оценка желательности материнской роли для адекватной психологической помощи женщинам с трудностями в прохождении этого процесса.

Проанализированы представления о материнстве в структуре идентичности в зависимости от теоретических представлений зарубежных психологических школ и фокусировки на детерминантах его развития. В числе значимых признаются соотношение биологического и социального в формировании поведения матери, кризисный момент развития идентичности беременной женщины, прекращения ее единоличного существования при возникновении диады «мать — дитя». 

Проводится анализ восприятия беременными транзитивности своего статуса в отличие от материнства, подвижности осознаваемых статусов. Аргументируется наличие текущего, проходящего варианта идентичности беременных, отличающегося от восприятия идентичности матери (стабильного и устойчивого). 
Зарождение понимания нации в трудах ранних итальянских гуманистов
Authors: Егоров Михаил Дмитриевич
Published: February 2025

В статье представлен анализ влияния работ ранних итальянских гуманистов на формирование понимания нации и национального определения в культуре Возрождения. Эпоха Возрождения является периодом, в котором были заложены основы для будущего развития таких явлений, как «нация» и «национальное определение», в европейской культуре. Целью исследования является обращение к истокам гуманистической культуры для рассмотрения первого опыта обращения пионеров Возрождения к данному вопросу, на основании чего можно будет сделать вывод об основных факторах развития философии «национального определения».

В рамках исследования рассматриваются произведения Ф. Петрарки, Д. Алигьери и Д. Боккаччо как образцы трудов раннего итальянского Ренессанса, заложивших основу для гуманистической культуры и философии эпохи Возрождения. Избранные в рамках исследования авторы, в первую очередь Ф. Петрарка, являются основоположниками целого ряда базовых принципов гуманистической философии, в том числе и тех идей, которые позже сформировали пространство философии национального определения.
Методология научных исследований гуманитарного вуза: опыт Московского гуманитарного университета
Authors: Костина Анна Владимировна
Published: February 2025

Одной из характеристик коллектива вуза является его сплоченность, которая, как чаще всего представляется, формируется корпоративной культурой организации и корпоративной этикой, определяющими нормы, цели и ценности, регулирующими способы общения, задающими алгоритмы движения к ним. При этом считается, что аналогичные — регулирующие — механизмы в научной деятельности организации неактуальны, избыточны и даже вредны, так как могут ограничить свободу научного высказывания. Представляется, что такой подход не является верным. Единство научных исследований Московского гуманитарного университета (МосГУ) задается пониманием миссии университета как институции, чья деятельность направлена на подготовку выпускников не только к профессии, но и к участию в управлении обществом, а значит — к пониманию происходящих социальных процессов. Такой принцип развития науки с самого основания вуза был установлен его ректором, ныне — президентом университета, профессором И. М. Ильинским в его научных работах. Их более 500, изданных как в России, так и за рубежом, а некоторые из них, в том числе, работа «Путь и вклад в науку», вышли из печати в июне этого года. Солидарность с позициями, изложенными в этих работах, стала основой единого методологического фундамента науки МосГУ. Эта методология определяет не только тематику исследований преподавателей и ученых университета, но и сам подход, основанный на идее служения нашей стране и формирования молодежи, готовой включиться в процесс построения будущего. Такой подход позволяет объединить в рамках научных проектов университета представителей самых разных научных направлений — от экономики и информатики до философии и социологии.

Literature review on zirconia post system
Authors: Mishra Preeti , Raj Shalya , Nikhil Vineeta
Published: February 2025

Cast metal post and core systems have been reliably used for decades due to their excellent physical properties. However, the increasing demand for aesthetically pleasing and biocompatible restorations has spurred the development of tooth-colored post and core systems. Among these, zirconia post systems have gained popularity, offering a solution that combines strength with enhanced esthetics. The translucency of zirconia allows for seamless integration with all-ceramic crowns, maintaining a natural appearance and meeting patient expectations for visually appealing restorations.

In light of the growing interest in zirconia ceramic post systems, numerous in vitro studies have been conducted over the past 15 years to evaluate their performance. These studies have examined critical aspects such as retention, fracture resistance, and aesthetic advantages. Zirconia posts are celebrated for their ability to improve esthetics while providing sufficient strength and long-term durability.

Nevertheless, zirconia posts are not without limitations. Issues like achieving proper cementation and optimal adhesion remain active areas of research and clinical focus. This review article aims to consolidate existing data on zirconia posts, highlighting their retention, fracture resistance, aesthetic benefits, challenges, and cementation techniques to aid clinicians in their effective application.

Published: February 2025

The temporization phase in fixed prosthodontics is vital for restoring function, esthetics, and protecting prepared teeth. Provisional restorations, traditionally made using PMMA, ensure interim comfort and diagnostic value. With advancements in digital technology, 3D printing and CAD/CAM milling have enhanced the precision and efficiency of temporary restorations. However, the effects of betel leaf, commonly chewed in Indian culture, on the color stability of these materials remain unexplored.

This study evaluates and compares the color stability of conventional, 3D-printed, and CAD/CAM-fabricated provisional restorations when immersed in betel leaf solution

The provisional crowns measuring 2mm thickness made of PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) were evaluated for color stability with spectrophotometer using CIELAB values.

The mean ΔE values were significantly higher for the conventional group, followed by 3D printed and CAD CAM groups.

The conventional Polymethyl methacrylate specimens changed color more and faster than the CAD CAM and 3D printed crowns. In addition, at 3 and 6 months, the color variations of conventional method at all time intervals were unacceptable when compared to their initial shade.
Comparative analysis of accuracy of SLA and DMLS technologies for cast partial denture frameworks using metrology software
Authors: Doddamani Mallikarjun H , Swami Rajesh Suhas
Published: February 2025

Advanced manufacturing techniques like CAD/CAM and 3D printing have revolutionized dental prosthetics, offering improved precision, efficiency, and accessibility. The accuracy and precision of cast partial dentures significantly affect patient outcomes.

To compare the trueness and precision of stereolithography (SLA) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) in fabricating Cast Partial Denture (CPD) frameworks.

A partially edentulous mandibular replica was scanned to create a master STL file. Using CAD software, 32 frameworks were designed and produced: 16 using DMLS and 16 using SLA. The frameworks were digitized using a high-precision scanner and compared to the original CAD design using 3D analysis software. Five Areas of Interest (AOIs) were identified: the lingual plate, right and left I-bars, and right and left proximal plates. Gap distances and Root Mean Square (RMS) values were calculated for statistical analysis.

No statistically significant differences were found between DMLS and SLA techniques across the five AOIs (p > 0.05). RMS values for DMLS ranged from 0.0290 mm to 0.0348 mm, whereas SLA values ranged from 0.0337 mm to 0.0387 mm. The right proximal plate showed a marginally non-significant difference (p = 0.0560), favoring DMLS.

Both DMLS and SLA techniques demonstrated comparable accuracy in producing cast partial denture frameworks across all examined areas. This study provides valuable insights for dental professionals in selecting manufacturing techniques for CPD frameworks by considering factors such as cost and material properties.
Employment dynamics during COVID-19 in Uruguay
Authors: Amarante Verónica , Galván Estefanía , Yapor Mijail
Published: February 2025

This paper provides novel insights into labor market dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent recovery period in Uruguay. Using social security administrative records, we focus on the gender-differentiated patterns of labor market transitions following the pandemic outbreak, compared to a previous period. Furthermore, we evaluate the role of unemployment insurance (UI) as an instrument for employment protection during the pandemic-induced recession. The analysis reveals that womenparticularly those with children and earning low wagesexperienced greater employment and wage losses compared to men at the pandemics onset, though they showed signs of recovery in later periods. Moreover, women were more likely to transition from UI to formal employment during the pandemic, diverging from previous trends, largely due to the suspension modality (similar to a temporary lay-off) of the Uruguayan UI program. Through a regression discontinuity (RD) approach, the study identifies positive local effects of the beneficiaries of the UI suspension program on the probability of being employed and earning higher wages for both men and women, eight and twelve months after entering the program. These findings carry significant policy implications, underlying the importance of maintaining and potentially expanding UI programs with temporary suspension schemes, and the necessity of adapting social protection systems to respond quickly to crises. Our results underscore the potential of temporary layoff unemployment insurance schemes in developing countries as effective tools to address unexpected crises or shocks like COVID-19, preserving employment relationships and facilitating faster economic recovery.

Recent improvements in security, reduced migration, and stronger economic indicators, such as growth and investment, have created favorable conditions for El Salvador's development. With a young workforce, the government aims to boost growth, create jobs, and reduce living costs over the next five years.
This study proposes a territorial approach to identify economic opportunities, targeting 36 municipalities with skilled workers and vulnerable populations prone to migration. These municipalities are grouped into five clusters centered on Santa Ana, San Miguel, San Salvador, La Unión, and Sensuntepeque, benefiting up to 1.6 million people through strategic investments.
Sectoral analysis identified 17 key industries, 10 of which could generate over 10,000 quality jobs per US$100 million investment. Aligning sectors with regional strengths, such as paper manufacturing in San Salvador, the accommodation industry in Santa Ana, fish processing in La Union and dairy production in Sensuntepeque, demonstrate the diversity of opportunities. Additionally, cross-regional sectors like textiles, furniture manufacturing, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offer further avenues for growth.
Recommendations include improving vocational training, enhancing the business climate, and investing in infrastructure to foster inclusive, sustainable growth.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the effect of a culturally responsive teaching (crt) model on the civics learning outcomes of elementary school students. grounded in both banks’ multicultural education theory and vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, the research explores how integrating students’ cultural backgrounds into the curriculum can improve their civics knowledge, foster positive attitudes toward civic engagement, and enhance classroom participation. a mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving a pretest-posttest design to assess changes in knowledge and attitudes, alongside qualitative data from classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student focus groups. quantitative findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in civics test scores and heightened interest in community participation among students exposed to the crt model. qualitative results complement these findings by highlighting increased student engagement, deeper connections with the material, and greater willingness to discuss civic issues. these outcomes suggest incorporating culturally relevant examples and inclusive pedagogical strategies can bolster civics education for diverse student populations. the study’s limitations include its relatively short duration, limited geographic scope, and small sample size, which may affect the generalizability of the results. future research should consider longitudinal designs, larger samples, and multiple contexts to capture the long-term impact of crt on civic engagement. overall, the results emphasize the potential of culturally responsive practices to reinforce the foundational civic competencies of young learners and underscore the need for teacher preparation programs to prioritize culturally inclusive methods.

Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to analysing cognitive aspects of foreign language learning, including theoretical foundations, modern approaches and innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and interactive tools. It emphasises the importance of considering cognitive processes, in particular memory, attention and motivation, to improve the efficiency of the learning process. The study’s relevance is driven by the need to improve the effectiveness of foreign language learning in the context of globalisation, multiculturalism and the development of information technology. Focusing on the cognitive aspects of learning allows us to consider learners’ individual characteristics, improving their motivation, engagement and learning. The article aims to study the cognitive aspects of foreign language learning and develop recommendations for implementing cognitively oriented methods in the educational process using innovative technologies. The methods included theoretical analysis of the literature, systematisation of methods, empirical survey of teachers and students, and quantitative and qualitative data analysis. The study results show that cognitive approaches contribute to effectively learning foreign language material. Teachers and students positively evaluate interactive methods and gamification, although there is a need to improve technical support. It has been found that individual cognitive styles, memory, attention and motivation are key factors in effective learning.

Published: February 2025

The rise of corruption cases at the local government level certainly requires serious handling. This paper aims to explain the impact of corruption on regional development and the application of good governance as one of the solutions to reduce corrupt practices that occur at the local government level. The method used in writing this paper is a systematic literature study. This approach aims to synthesize and compare previous findings to form new knowledge about the impact of corruption on regional development and implement good governance, to reduce corrupt practices in local governments. The results of this study show that corrupt practices can negatively impact regional development because they cause an increase in poverty, hamper education services, reduce the quality of health services, exacerbate the rural-urban development gap, and disrupts gender equality as well as environmental sustainability

Service delivery practices and patient satisfaction are the key issues in government owned hospital health services. This article explores the determinants of health service quality and their influence on inpatient satisfaction. The theoretical framework tested is how service quality factors, namely: tangible, reliable, responsive, assurance, and empathy affect patient satisfaction factors which comprises environment, facilities, doctor and nurse services, and time care. The research design is based on a survey method and inferential statistics. Data were collected from 250 inpatients of Rumah Sakit Harapan and Doa (RSHD) and analyzed using structural modeling with the LISREL application. All the factors (responsiveness, empathy, tangibles, reliability, assurance) are determinants of health service quality, with the highest factor values for responsiveness and empathy (0.96), then tangibles and reliability (0.95), and assurance (0.83). The hypothesis was accepted, inpatient satisfaction is positively and significantly influenced by the quality of health services at RSHD Bengkulu, proven by a value of T = 10.84 (T > 0.196 with α = 0.05 ). The research implicates improving facilities, infrastructure, quality of human resources, and service processes by emphasizing increasing responsiveness and empathy.

Authors: Astuti Sri Juni Woro , Putra Allen Pranata
Published: February 2025

The urgency of this research lies in the need for a deeper understanding of the factors that cause high stunting in areas that are nominally successful in food self sufficiency. This study also seeks to fill the literature gap by directly linking food self-sufficiency policies and children’s health conditions, especially in the context of stunting. Furthermore, this study reviews two main problem formulations, namely: 1) What are the dynamics of food self-sufficiency and stunting rates in Jember Regency? 2) How to optimize the stunting reduction policy strategy in Jember Regency? This research method uses qualitative with in-depth interview data collection techniques, this research analysis technique uses data triangulation. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of adopting a more holistic and cross-sectoral policy approach. Efforts to reduce stunting in Jember must be integrated with food security policies that pay attention to nutritional quality, as well as effective health and education programs. Local governments need to strengthen coordination between sectors and involve communities in policy implementation to ensure that the benefits of food self-sufficiency can be felt by all levels of society, especially the most vulnerable.
Seminarji iz medicinske etike
Authors: Zwitter Matjaž
Published: February 2025

Ko študente medicine vpeljujemo v razmišljanje o etiki zdravniškega poklica, so ključen del pouka študentski seminarji. Študenti 4. letnika splošne medicine, v zadnjih letih pa tudi študenti 1. letnika dentalne medicine, so dobili ob pričetku semestra teme seminarjev, ki so jih v naslednjih tednih predstavili svojim kolegom in učitelju. Študentske predstavitve so bile živahne, pogosto o nas zanesle izven prvotno načrtovane razprave. Teme seminarjev, ki so zbrane c tej knjigi, so zelo raznolike: od obravnave resničnih aktualnih zapletov in »afer« do zanimivosti iz zgodovine medicine, izmišljenih zgodb in teoretičnih vprašanj. Precej nalog je povezanih tudi z leposlovjem, ki nam pogosto daje dobro osnovo za pogovor o etiki. Bolj kot kdajkoli prej je namreč danes pomembno, da spodbudimo mlade, da sežejo po knjigi.
Listy z Warszawy Tytusa Czyżewskiego – przegląd poruszanej problematyki
Authors: Geron Małgorzata
Published: February 2025

Tytus Czyżewski zajmował się nie tylko malarstwem i poezją, ale także krytyką artystyczną, publikując w licznych periodykach. W latach 1932–1937 zamieszczał na łamach czasopisma „Głos Plastyków” comiesięczne felietony pod wspólnym tytułem Listy z Warszawy. Teksty tworzyły osobistą kronikę życia artystycznego Warszawy. Autor komentował w układzie chronologicznym obraz ówczesnej krytyki artystycznej, którą, jego zdaniem, cechował konserwatyzm i brak otwartości na nowe trendy w sztuce docierające do Polski ze znacznym opóźnieniem Ponadto, dzielił się swoimi uwagami m.in. na temat polityki wystawienniczej Towarzystwa Zachęty Sztuk Pięknych, Instytutu Propagandy Sztuki i Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie. Teksty Czyżewskiego cechuje autentyczność obserwacji i poważne podejście do zasad oceniania, a ich koncepcja oraz tytuł przywodzą na myśl Listy z Paryża ukazujące się w „Zwrotnicy” w latach 1922–1923. Te ostatnie Czyżewski pisał podczas pobytu w stolicy Francji, gdy był korespondentem zagranicznym współpracującym z tym czasopismem.
