Meaning-making tools in intersemiotic translation (based on screen adaptation of “The hours”)
Authors: Tashchenko Ganna
Published: August 2023

The present article focuses on screen adaptations as intersemiotic translation which gives an opportunity to transpose written word into the multimodal space of cinema. Taking up the role of translators who act as mediators between different semiotic systems, film-makers face a range of challenges associated with the meaning-making resources available to the creator of a book and a film, respectively. They have to take into account a variety of factors ranging from the need to preserve the spirit of the book and its aesthetic value to the obligation to ensure commercial success of the film. However, reinterpretation of a literary work for screen purposes inevitably produces a new work of art which starts its own life in the cultural environment it is meant for. Unleashing their creativity, film-makers decide which elements of the book they consider essential to convey the key message of the writer and which could be sacrificed to provide for the visual appeal of the work of cinema.

A vivid example of such a challenge is seen in filming “The Hours” based on the novel by M. Cunningham, a story of three women bound through time with a book. Virginia Woolf writing her “Mrs. Dalloway”, Laura Brown reading it and Clarissa Vaughn nicknamed Mrs. Dalloway by her former lover—all of them are struggling to find their true selves in the world, which dictates the way they must live their femininity. The battles they have to fight every single day without having the right to speak up are mostly represented in their internal monologues the novel abounds with. The film, in its turn, focuses on the main events in the story reinforcing them with powerful symbols such as the kiss that reveals true desires of Virginia and Laura while showing Clarissa that her life goes on; the cake that becomes an embodiment of Laura’s failure as a spouse and a mother; water that will swallow Virginia and become a point of no return for Laura, and flowers presaging death for Virginia but fortelling life for Clarissa. An intricate mixture of music, image, and unrivaled play of actors produce a coherent and eloquent narrative, which makes viewers rethink gender stereotypes as well as Virginia Woolf’s legacy.

Endomarketing Management and Staff Engagement of a Municipality in Peru
Authors: Osambela Javier Eduardo Santivañez de , Pimentel Johnny Félix Farfán , Arenas Raúl Delgado
Published: August 2023

Purpose: To determine the relationship between endomarketing management and staff engagement in a municipality in Lima-Peru.
 
Theoretical framework: Kotler and Amstrong (2014) argued that endomarketing consists of the application of theories, techniques, rules of strategic marketing and human resource management at all levels of the organization, seeking to continuously improve the service offered to employees or internal customers. In this sense, employees are seen as corporate partners who need to feel satisfied, so that they work motivated and committed to provide high quality products and services that meet the expectations of the consumer public. Also, Rosen (2020) stated that engagement occurs when employees feel part of the company, i.e., they have an internal incentive, a broad motivation and a sense of commitment quite genuine, it has an exponential growth, as they themselves intervene by contributing novel ideas and care to identify problematic situations.
 
Design/methodology/approach: As stated by Agudelo et al. (2008) the variables were not manipulated, so the design was non-experimental. Likewise, Bernal (2016) argued that, when performing calculations for a research it is of quantitative approach, and if it intends to relate two or more variables it is a correlational work, Likewise, Morgan et al. (2019) argued that as it has been started from hypotheses that can be corroborated or refuted to confront events, the method was hypothetical deductive. And taking into account what was proposed by Salkind, & Bruce (2021), the cut is transversal because the collection of information has been carried out in a limited time frame.
 
Findings: It is evident that 58.82% consider endomarketing to be good, not so far from the average level of 41.18% who observed it to be fair and there were no expressions of finding it bad; in the case of engagement, a considerable 70.59% find it good, which is quite far from the opinion of 27.06% who consider it to be acceptable and only 2.35% perceive engagement to be bad.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: On the other hand, in the practical argumentation, stated Salkind, & Bruce (2021), reference is made to the fact that with the results obtained corrective measures can be taken to optimize the services of the municipality, which finally leads to a social argumentation, as the users of local government services benefit. Finally, according to Hernández et al. (2014), the social justification is due to the fact that, if the appropriate corrective measures are applied, the users of local government services will benefit.
 
Originality/value: The present work is methodologically postulated because the questionnaires have been adapted for the public sector and the concepts were discussed with an expertise and depth that may be useful in the future for those interested in delving into the conceptions of the variables.
The Factors of Consumer Intension of Using Mobile Payment in Vietnam
Authors: Yen Vu Thi Hoang , Trang Do Thi My , Duong Nguyen Duc
Published: August 2023

Purpose: Within the context of emerging mobile technologies, Mobile payment or M-payment has been introduced as the new trend for payment methods bringing more value and convenience to consumers. However, the development of M-payment services is still quite timid in some Southeast Asia countries including Vietnam. This is also the reason and motivation for the author to do this research.
 
Theoretical framework: The goal of this study is to spot some factors that affect the use behavior (UB) of M-payment consumers in five major metropolises that were most influential on the economy in Vietnam.
 
Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative questionnaire was used to measure the responses of participants and Partial Least Squares (PLS) method was employed to analyze the collection data as well as test all hypotheses.
 
Findings: The results indicated that SI has been the important factor leading to the BI to use M-payment followed by SV and SC issues and BI also had a strong influence on the UB of consumers. Since M-payment is still in the infancy stage and is one of the most exciting mobile applications for the next few years in Vietnam, the identification of important factors concerning M-payments.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: To investigate the factors affecting UB of Vietnamese M-payment consumers, the researcher proposed a research model which analyzes the impact of various variables extracted from system quality (ST), service quality (SV), security (SC), social influence (SI) on behavioral intention (BI) to use and BI on M-payment UB.
 
Originality/value: This study will assist merchants and software developers to design and improve the systems and services to ensure the full acceptance and continuous use of the systems. Finally, a set of suggestions for the subsequent research works also was listed at the end of this study.
Factors that Parents in South Africa Consider in Support of their Children’s Continuous Use of Online Learning
Authors: Mutambara David
Published: August 2023

One of the lessons learnt during the COVID-19 pandemic is the need for technology to connect and communicate. Schools learnt to use technology as tools of teaching and learning, as well as connecting with parents. Such gains need not be discarded now that the pandemic has subsided. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that parents in South Africa consider significant in allowing their children to continue using online learning. The extended expectation-confirmation model, with eight constructs, was used to explain this phenomenon using a sample of 358 participating parents. The model was analysed using partial least squares structural equation modeling, while SmartPLS3 was employed in the analysis of the data. The results showed that the factors that parents in South Africa consider significant in allowing their children to continue using online learning were statistically significant. The seven factors (constructs) identified in the model explained 74.6% of the variance in support of continuous use of online learning. This was an overwhelming support for continuance to use online learning by their children, based on its benefits. This work contributed to the body of knowledge by developing a model for predicting the continued use of educational technologies (online learning), especially in developing countries. One of the shortcomings of the study is that it only included parents of learners in one district of South Africa. As a result, generalising the findings to other high schools elsewhere should be done with caution.

Mapping the Public-Private Partnership Researches in Waste Management: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Luthfi Ahmad , Naufal Muhammad Faqih
Published: August 2023

The increasing societal demands for effective waste management have compelled the government to provide optimal services in accordance with established standards, while carefully considering various relevant aspects. Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) have emerged as a conceptual framework to address these challenges. This article aims to comprehensively analyze and map the existing literature on public-private partnerships in the context of waste management. The mapping of this literature offers valuable insights into the theoretical foundations, practical implications, and potential future directions policy development in this field. Through bibliometric analysis and the application of the PICO Spider framework, a citation review was conducted based on the number of citations and journal sources. Co-authorship analysis was also performed based on authors and countries, while co-occurrence analysis was carried out based on all keywords. Furthermore, the analysis and visualization were conducted using the VOSviewer application. The utilization of VOSviewer facilitates the visualization of these findings, allowing for a more intuitive understanding and interpretation of the bibliometric analysis results. At the partnership level, the government needs to have full involvement, while higher-level government entities (such as provinces and central government) also play a role in indirectly supporting waste management programs. Private entities, on the other hand, can engage in waste processing using established technologies. However, if this is not feasible, privatization of waste management through independent Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can serve as a new source of assistance for the government.

CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA TEORIA PSICANALÍTICA DE DONALD WINNICOTT PARA A COMPREENSÃO DE QUADROS BORDERLINE EM ADOLESCENTES
Authors: Romero Joanna Arcari
Published: August 2023

Winnicott apresentou uma vasta obra sobre pacientes regressivos. Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica narrativa, averiguou-se suas principais contribuições teóricas e técnicas a respeito do quadro borderline em adolescentes. Entendeu-se que tal padecimento é decorrente de frequentes falhas ambientais nos tempos iniciais de vida. Por conta dessas falhas, o indivíduo constitui um falso self enquanto mecanismo de defesa. O verdadeiro self fica à espera de um ambiente confiável, no qual possa aos poucos emergir. Por meio de um manejo de setting diferenciado, o analista oferece uma provisão ambiental suficientemente boa ao paciente, e propicia a retomada de seu desenvolvimento emocional. Em um espaço potencial de criatividade, o analista deve sobreviver aos ataques do adolescente borderline. Com isso, o jovem pode vir a adquirir ganhos maturacionais consideráveis. Ademais, espera-se que ele possa experienciar cada vez menos sentimentos de vazio e de irrealidade, e sinta que a vida é digna de ser vivida.

Published: August 2023

Background: Abortion in Nigeria has been controversial, and both the proponents (protagonists) and opponents (antagonists) have good arguments. Proponents of the abortion prohibition law of Nigeria (the pro-life group) argue that human life is sacred and the right to life is basic; hence, on no account should one be deprived of that fundamental human right, not even the fetus in-utero. Objectives: This review aims to discuss the concepts of abortion and maternal mortality, analyze the Nigerian abortion laws, discuss issues and controversies with abortion in Nigeria as it relates to maternal mortality and morbidity; and discuss the contributions of this Law on maternal mortality and morbidity in Nigeria. Method: The relevant materials for this article were obtained from search engines such as PubMed and Google Scholar respectively. Conclusion: Reviewed literature reveals that many of the contributory factors to maternal mortality could be avoided if preventive measures were taken and adequate care was available. In view of this, efforts should be made by governments and policy makers towards the provision of safe, available and effective abortion care to Nigerian women at all levels of health care, most especially at the grass-root level, primary health care. The study also revealed a poor level of awareness of the Nigerian Abortion Law among women. It is therefore necessary to ensure the wide dissemination of the abortion law and its provisions to the Nigerian public in order to arm them with the necessary information to participate actively in campaigns on abortion law reforms.

One hundred and sixty eight elite advanced bread wheat lines were evaluated for resistance to black point during the crop season 2014-2015 at the Norman E. Borlaug Experimental Station in the Yaqui Valley, Mexico. Sowing dates were November 19 and 28, and December 8, 2014. Harvest and threshing were done manually in ten spikes per line, and the evaluation by visual inspection, counting healthy and infected grains to calculate the percentage of infection. The range of infection for the first sowing date was 0 to 34.6%, with an average of 2.7; sixty lines did not show infected grains; for the second date it was 0 to 43.6%, with an average of 3.1%; fifty lines did not show infected grains; while for the third date, it was 0 to 14.7%, and seventy one lines did not show infected grains. Five lines did not show infected grains in the three dates. Lines with the highest average percentage of infection were: WAXWING/KRONSTADF2004//2*FRNCLN with 18.6%, PFAU/MILAN/5/CHEN/AEGILOPS SQUARROSA (TAUS)//BCN/3/VEE#7/BOW/4/PASTOR/6/WHEAR/4/ SNI/TRAP#1/3/KAUZ*2/TRAP//KAUZ/5/C80.1/3*BATAVIA//2*WBLL1/7/C80.1/3*BATAVIA//2*WBLL1/5/REH/HARE//2*BCN/3/CROC_1/AE.SQUARROSA (213)//PGO/4/HUITES with 16.0, and WBLL1*2/BRAMBLING//SAAR/ 2*WAXWING/4/PBW343*2/KUKUNA//KRONSTAD F2004/3/PBW343*2/KUKUNA with 15.4%. Within the infection categories based on the average of the three dates, one hundred and twelve lines were within the 0.1-2.5% infection category, thirty one within 2.6-5.0%, thirteen within 5.1-10.0%, and seven lines within 10.1-30.0%. The infection average of the group was 2.3% with a range of 0 to 18.6%, but some lines showed high percentage of infection in the dates, like PFAU/MILAN/5/CHEN/AEGILOPSSQUARROSA(TAUS)//BCN/3/VEE#7/BOW/4/PASTOR/6/WHEAR/4/ SNI/TRAP#1/3/KAUZ*2/TRAP//KAUZ/5/C80.1/3*BATAVIA//2*WBLL1/7/C80.1/3*BATAVIA//2*WBLL1/5/REH/HARE//2*BCN/3/CROC_1/AE.SQUARROSA (213)//PGO/4/HUITES which showed 43.6% in the second date.

Authors: Khudhur Abbas Allawi  , Shaimaa Fatih Ali
Published: August 2023

The management of water resources depends on the evaluation of water quality. In this research, Water Quality Index (WQI) was used to evaluate Tigris River water quality for drinking water purposes and assess significant factors that affect water quality. The physiochemical parameters measurements of water samples taken from four sites along the river within Salah Al-Din province were collected from October 2022 to May 2023, including water temperature, turbidity, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological oxygen demand (BOD5), Total harness, Calcium, Magnesium, Total Alkaline, Chloride, Sodium, Potassium, Sulfate, Nitrite, and Phosphate. The results of WQI values ranged from 71.28 to 90.78, the water was considered poor to very poor in the study sites, due to the water getting polluted to some extent, so the value of WQI decreases. This indicated the Tigris River in the study area was unsuitable for drinking uses.

Navigating the resistance: Current perspectives on ectoparasite control in veterinary medicine
Authors: KÜNTÜZ Tuğba , GÜNEŞ Yiğit , SARI Ataman Bilge , ÜSTÜNER KELEŞ Oya
Published: August 2023

Ectoparasites present a global challenge to animal health, affecting a wide range of species. These parasites can infect both animals and humans, leading to significant health issues. The impact of ectoparasites extends beyond health, as they can also reduce the productivity of livestock. Moreover, many ectoparasite species act as vectors for bacterial, viral, or parasitic pathogens, thereby posing significant risks to human and animal health. Historically, agents such as organochlorides, organophosphates, carbamates, insect growth regulators, neonicotinoids, spinosad, fipronil, avermectins, isoxazolines, and synthetic pyrethroids have been extensively used to treat and prevent ectoparasitic infestations. However, the extensive use of these chemicals has resulted in the development of resistance among many target species, potentially reducing the effectiveness of these treatments. This article aims to survey the current status of resistance in ectoparasites to active pharmaceutical ingredients used in veterinary medicine. It also seeks to update the understanding of resistance mechanisms and explore measures that can be implemented to prevent the development of resistance.

У статті проведений аналіз застосування військами Російської Федерації засобів повітряно-космічного нападу, зокрема балістичних та крилатих ракет, авіації та безпілотних літальних апаратів у війні проти України у період з 24.02.2022 по 24.11.2022 року, як основних складових повітряно-ударної компоненти збройних сил Російської Федерації. Визначено, що головним напрямком застосування повітряно-ударної компоненти збройних сил Російської Федерації у війні проти України залишається застосування крилатих ракет повітряного базування та безпілотних літальних апаратів різного призначення, а також проведення авіаційних ударів, в тому числі по засобах протиповітряної оборони з метою здобуття переваги у повітрі. Визначено, що у подальшому слід очікувати комплексне використання всіх основних складових повітряно-ударної компоненти збройних сил Російської Федерації та їх синхронізоване за часом і об’єктами дії застосування по всій території країни, в першу чергу, по критичних об’єктах інфраструктури держави (енергетичної та газодобувної промисловості), військових цілях та цивільних спорудах (державних установах, закладах, підприємствах).
Ієрархічна модель взаємодії оператора з “роєм” безпілотних літальних апаратів

Published: August 2023

Сучасні військові конфлікти незаперечно підтверджують високу ефективність застосування безпілотних літальних апаратів (БпЛА) на полі бою. Застосування одиночних БпЛА дає змогу вирішувати вузьке коло поставлених бойових завдань. Повномасштабне вторгнення Російської Федерації проти України свідчить про необхідність застосування групи БпЛА типу “рій”, що значно підвищує бойову ефективність розвідувально-ударних засобів на основі БпЛА для завдання неприйнятних збитків противнику по всій глибині оборони. У статті розглядається принцип побудови ієрархічної моделі взаємодії оператора БпЛА з “роєм” безпілотних літальних апаратів. “Рій” БпЛА розглядають як двокомпонентну ієрархічну систему, що складається з динаміки взаємодії між БпЛА в “рої”, яку називають динамікою мережі, і самої динаміки БпЛА-агента. Передбачається, що оператор може взаємодіяти з “роєм” через динаміку мережі, яка, своєю чергою, прийняла модель консенсусу “лідер-послідовник”.

Актуальність проблеми, що висвітлена у статті, полягає у визначенні нових підходів до придбання теоретичних знань і практичних навичок військовими фахівцями (ВФ) за рахунок впровадження у навчальний процес сучасних комп’ютерних технологій доведення інформації та автоматизованих систем навчання. Здійснена розробка математичного апарату для оцінювання кількісних параметрів рівня засвоєння навчального матеріалу під час дистанційного навчання (ДН). В статті також розглянуті питання використання нових форм і методів проведення заняття за рахунок оновлення навчально-методичного забезпечення дисциплін, втілення інноваційних заходів для більш глибокої індивідуалізації навчання та самостійного опрацювання матеріалу, визначення напрямків реалізації сучасних методичних і дидактичних підходів до цих питань у період пандемії COVID-19 та під час збройного нападу Росії. Запропонований і розглянутий у статті математичний апарат оцінювання кількісних параметрів рівня засвоєння навчального матеріалу має інноваційність, яка надає можливість за допомогою Інтернет-програм контролювати та визначати рівень підготовленості ВФ при безконтактному самостійному навчанні. Впровадження сучасних методичних і дидактичних підходів до проведення занять значно скорочує час, необхідний на якісну підготовку ВФ, зменшує матеріальні та фізичні витрати особового складу, надає можливість більш якісно проводити заняття без допомоги спеціальних пристосувань.
Адаптивний підхід до нечіткої кластеризації на основі еволюційної оптимізації алгоритму сірих вовків
Authors: Шафроненко А. Ю. , Бодянський Є. В.
Published: August 2023

Розглянуто задачу адаптивної нечіткої кластеризації даних з використанням еволюційного алгоритму. Оскільки у загальному випадку цільова функція кластеризації є багатоекстремальною, з невідомою кількістю локальних оптимумів, запропоновано алгоритм пошуку глобального екстремуму, що по суті є гібридом ройового алгоритму сірих вовків, випадкового пошуку та еволюційного планування. Запропонований метод виключає можливість “застрягання” в локальних екстремумах за допомогою подвійної перевірки знаходження вовка-домінанта в екстремумі та порівнянні із заданою похибкою розрахунків, дозволяє скоротити кількість запусків процедури. Метод є достатньо простим у чисельній реалізації, дозволяє знаходити глобальні екстремуми складних функцій, що підтверджується результатами числового експерименту.
Modern Capacities, Methods, and Means of Forensic Construction Investigations
Authors: Butyrin A. Yu. , Stativa E. B.
Published: August 2023

The article considers the issues of applying specific research methods in forensic construction examinations. The authors propose a classification of methods and means based on various criteria, including the impact on objects and the principles of operation. The specifics of their use in field and laboratory research have also been considered. The authors pay special attention to the use of drones for expert inspections of construction sites and associated land plots. In addition, the following methods have been presented in detail: physical and mechanical (elemental, chemical, mineralogical, phase analysis), physical (thermal analysis method), physical and chemical (instrumental methods), mechanical non-destructive methods (methods based on Fizdel, Kashkarov and Schmidt hammers), mechanical destructive methods (using test presses, bursting machines, tensile testing devices), acoustic (ultrasonic, ground-penetrating radar), electro-physical (magnetic, electric, and electromagnetic), radiation (X-ray and gamma-ray), radio wave, thermal, holographic, computer tomography, and calculation methods. It is shown that a timely replenishment of a construction-expert’s instrumental arsenal with modern methods and techniques of examination based on the latest scientific and technological advances guarantees sustainable development of forensic construction examinations as one of the most demanded areas of expert activity in Russian legal proceedings.

Authors: Egorova V. V. , Kazantseva I. L.
Published: August 2023

The article discusses the issues related to improving the efficiency of joint operation of investigation, inquiry, experts, and prosecutors in investigating alcohol-containing liquids produced by non-industrial manufacturing method. The authors draw attention to the consistently high percentage of the non-industrial alcoholic beverages in the total number of objects submitted for analysis. Such liquids legally are not considered alcoholic products, so the presence of legal conflicts and gaps in the current legislation regulating the production and circulation of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and spiritcontaining products in Russia, leads to difficulties in qualifying offenses and holding perpetrators accountable, as well as to additional expert examinations and longer investigation periods. The authors also provide some examples from expert practice.

Authors: Sargina A. V. , Sedova N. V.
Published: August 2023

The increased interest in implementation of the sustainable development agenda requires an objective assessment of the success of progress towards the set sustainable development goals and objectives.

The objective of the study described in the article is to consider the availability of transport indicators for SDG 9.1 («Develop high-quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and cross-border infrastructure, in order to support economic development and human well­being, with particular attention to ensuring affordable and equitable access for all») on the example of G20 countries, as well as to assess the completeness of the data provided by the countries. The information and empirical base of the study is based on data from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. The study used general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, and classification.

The result of data processing is an assessment of data availability and calculation of the data completeness index for G20 countries. The authors proposed additions to the monitored indicators in terms of the volume of passenger and cargo transportation by modes of transport, and also substantiated the need to introduce a new indicator «volume of investment in infrastructure by mode of transport».
The Structure of Organisation Management Methods within the Value Chain
Authors: Tyapukhin A. P.
Published: August 2023

The hypothesis of the study is associated with the assumption that it is possible to determine the specific quantity and quality of methods for managing transport organisations in value chains and identify the relationship between them, which will allow the formation of an integrated management system for chains and various modes of transport.

The methods of classification, synthesis, analysis, induction, and deduction were chosen as research methods while binary matrices formed based on classification features of objects and their dichotomies were used as a tool.

The study has resulted in substantiation of the content of the resource approach to the justification of the methods of managing a transport organisation; development of a classification of administrative, economic, organisational, and socio-psychological methods of managing this organisation; revealing interrelations of methods, principles, and approaches to management of objects of social and economic systems.

The implementation of the obtained results will reduce the likelihood of occurrence of contradictions in the value chains by harmonising the content of the systems managing its links; create prerequisites for reducing the lost profits of this type of chains as well as time and costs for making and implementing management decisions; and for responding in a timely manner to the unique requirements of end users of products and/or services.
