Abstract

Background
Although autistic individuals are interested in interacting with peers, they express a need for social skills programs that could support them in navigating their daily social world, which is governed by neurotypical social norms.

Aim
This study investigated the feasibility and adaptability of the manualised and evidence-based program KONTAKT™ Social Skills Toolbox Group Program in supporting autistic children aged 8 to 12 years in navigating their everyday social worlds.

Material and Methods
KONTAKT™ was delivered to 15 autistic children (Mage=10.87, SDage=1.04; 67% male) over 16, 60-minute sessions. A pre-test and post-test design was employed evaluating changes in personally meaningful social goals, social skills, quality of friendship and autistic traits. Focus groups were also conducted and analysed using thematic analysis post completion of the program, exploring participants, their parents and the KONTAKT™ trainer’s perceptions of the program.

Results
Findings suggest stakeholders’ satisfaction with the program’s content and structure, indicating the potential cross-age feasibility of KONTAKT™ in supporting autistic children to achieve their personally meaningful social goals and in improving their social performance navigating their daily social lives.

Conclusion and significance
This feasibility study supported the finalisation of KONTAKT™ children’s manual and workbooks, preparing it for further evaluation of its efficacy in a randomised controlled trial. (Australian New Zealand Clinical Registry: 12619000994189; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04024111).
Yield Curve Estimation Based on Government Security Prices in the Croatian Financial Market

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article investigates the estimation of the yield curve based on government security prices using the Nelson-Siegel model in the Croatian financial market. The yield curve was estimated for samples of government securities with and without currency clauses. Since the Croatian financial market is less developed characterized by limited trading activity in government bonds, Treasury bills were also included in the analysis. To examine the difference in the estimation of yield curve parameters between a less developed and a developed market, the U.S. sample was considered. The yield curve was estimated for the full US sample and for artificially created U.S. samples corresponding to the Croatian samples of government bonds with and without currency clauses. Despite the less developed Croatian financial market, it is possible to estimate the yield curve and derive meaningful economic interpretations from the estimates.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study aims to examine the impact of trade facilitation measures on human development in lower-middle-income countries. For this purpose, we employ panel data analysis for the 2007-2019. We estimate the relationship using four models: feasible generalized least squares, incorrect generalized least squares, panel-corrected standard errors, and Driscoll-Kraay. Our findings demonstrate that trade facilitation measures, particularly those related to port infrastructure quality and maritime transport efficiency, significantly contribute to human development in lower-middle-income countries. Based on these results, we recommend that the governments of these countries should prioritize implementing these measures, particularly those that enhance the port and maritime transport sector as a promising strategy to achieve human development.
Individual Values and Job Satisfaction as Work Engagement Predictors: Example from Croatia
Authors: Bakotić Danica , Alvir Antonela 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between work engagement, employees’ individual values, and job satisfaction. Specifically, it explores if job satisfaction and individual values can be considered as predictors of employees’ engagement at work. The empirical research was carried out in 2023, involving a sample of 277 Croatian employees. The research hypotheses were tested using hierarchical regression analysis. Statistical analysis revealed that job satisfaction is the most significant predictor of work engagement. The findings suggested that individual values influence employee work engagement, but not all values contribute equally. Among the ten observed individual values, universalism, power, benevolence, and achievement were confirmed as statistically significant predictors of work engagement. Research results suggested that management should prioritize job satisfaction to improve employee engagement. In their attempts to enhance work engagement, management should also pay attention to employees’ individual values since some have been confirmed as the determinant of work engagement.

Published: December 2024

In response to the issues of air pollution, temperature, and noise, this project attempts to create an air quality, temperature, and noise monitoring system using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This system will comprise physical components and a web platform that delivers real-time environmental reports. Users can readily obtain information regarding air quality, temperature, and noise levels via this platform, which takes advantage of the internet's accessibility. This Internet of Things-based device monitors environmental quality in six high-traffic areas in Malang, Indonesia. The system uses various sensors to monitor air quality, temperature, humidity, dust levels, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and noise pollution in real-time. Data was collected during peak traffic hours, demonstrating the direct influence of car emissions on air quality. The findings show that some regions' CO and particulate matter levels surpass safe criteria, notably during peak traffic periods, but CO2, humidity, and noise levels are below acceptable norms. These findings highlight the necessity for urban air pollution reduction initiatives. Additional sensor calibration and communication modifications are recommended to increase system accuracy and dependability. This study gives significant insights for local authorities to manage urban environmental quality and safeguard human health.
Reception of the Ideas of Philosophical Anthropology by I. Kant in the Context of the Discourse of the State Cultural Policy of Russia
Authors: Astafyeva Olga N. , Malygina Irina V. 
Published: December 2024

In the year of the 300th anniversary of the birth of I. Kant, the authors of the article turn to some basic provisions of the philosophical anthropology of the German thinker in connection with the social demand for the development of a consistent state cultural policy in Russia, focused, on the one hand, on creating conditions for the self-determination of the individual, the realization of his creative freedom, and, on the other, on strengthening social solidarity and actualizing the consolidating potential of the cultural core of Russian culture. The text problematizes, from the point of view of the modern cultural situation, the idea of man as the starting and ending “point” of goal-setting for individual and social action; the Kantian interpretation of freedom and its boundaries, the social nature of the “self-concept” are actualized.Analyzing the possibilities of adapting the Kantian method and its anthropological attitudes to the modern discourse of state cultural policy, the authors of the article focus on the conceptual rigor of I. Kant’s philosophy. Terminological certainty, according to the authors, is an important task not only of scientific discourse. It is no less important in the development of official state documents. The changes taking place in modern culture require the “tuning” of conceptual tools and the creation of explanatory models adequate to the observed cultural changes. The pragmatic meaning of clarifying scientific terminology at the level of the official discourse of state cultural policy lies, in particular, in the ability to take into account and differentiate two important vectors of human self-determination and self-realization in modern culture. On the one hand, this is the process of forming a common civil identity based on conventional cultural values, and on the other hand, the constantly multiplying practices of individual self-presentation, various forms of identity simulation, imitation and mystification.

Published: December 2024

Рассматриваются результаты полевого опыта (2015-2017 гг.) по удобрению яровой пшеницы, возделываемой в условиях Уральского региона. Опыт заложен на окультуренной серой лесной почве по 14-вариантной схеме применения минеральных удобрений (NPK) в дозах от 30 до 120 кг д.в/га каждого из элементов, вносимых на фоне двух других элементов. Сорт яровой пшеницы Симбирцит, предшественник – черный пар. В результате исследований установлено влияние, оказываемое азотными, фосфорными и калийными удобрениями на урожайность и качество зерна в зависимости от конкретных почвенно-климатических условий. В частности показано, что с увеличением дозы азота от N30 до N120 на фоне Р60К60 урожай зерна возрастал как в условиях засухи 2016 г., так и в наиболее благоприятный по осадкам и температуре 2015 г. Более сложные зависимости установлены по эффективности действия фосфорных и калийных удобрений.
The results of the field experiment (2015-2017) on fertilizing spring wheat cultivated in the conditions of the Ural region are considered. The experience was performed on the cultivated gray forest soil according to the 14-variant scheme of the use of mineral fertilizers (NPK), doses are from 30 to 120 kg of active substance per ha for each of elements. In this experiment we used Simbircit variety of spring wheat, fore crop – bare fallow. As a result of research, the influence exerted by nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers on the yield and quality of grain, depending on the specific soil and climatic conditions, has been established. In particular, it is shown that with increasing nitrogen dose from N30 to N120 with a background Р60К60 grain yield increased both in drought conditions in 2016 and in the most favorable precipitation and temperature in 2015. More complex dependencies were established on the effectiveness of phosphate and potash fertilizers.
ВЛИЯНИЕ ИННОВАЦИОННЫХ ФОРМ УДОБРЕНИЙ НА НАРАСТАНИЕ ЛИСТОВОГО АППАРАТА И ЕГО ФОТОСИНТЕТИЧЕСКУЮ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ
Authors: Вознесенская Т.Ю. , Веревкина Т.М. 
Published: December 2024

Представлены результаты испытаний о влиянии различных комплексов микроудобрений и аминокислот на формирование фотосинтетического аппарата озимой пшеницы. Установлено, что интенсивность нарастания листовой поверхности в течение всей вегетации достигала максимальных значений при обработке семян и некорневых подкормках комплексом аминокислот с микроэлементами на высоком фоне минеральных удобрений (N100P100K100). При применении удобрений нарастание фотосинтетического потенциала посевов в течение вегетации озимой пшеницы происходит за счет увеличения площади листовой поверхности. Предпосевная обработка семян способствовала увеличению фотосинтетической деятельности растений в посевах и улучшению динамики ростовых процессов.
The results of tests on the effect of various complexes of micronutrients and amino acids on the formation of the photosynthetic apparatus of winter wheat are presented. It has been established that the growth rate of the leaf surface during the whole growing season reached maximum values under seed treatment and foliar nutrition with a complex of amino acids with trace elements on a high background of mineral fertilizers (N100P100K100). When fertilizers are used, the growth of the photosynthetic potential of crops during the growing season of winter wheat occurs due to an increase in leaf area. Pre-sowing seed treatment contributed to an increase in plant photosynthetic activity in crops and an improvement in the dynamics of growth processes.
