Authors: Moll Jared , Burger Zani , Jacobs Daneel M.P. , Mothibe Retshepisitswe P. , Swanepoel De Wet , Mahomed-Asmail Faheema 
Published: December 2024

Background: Hearing aid verification is required to objectively measure hearing aid outputs by ensuring that the amplified speech spectrum closely approximates the prescription goals.Objectives: This study aimed to determine audiologists’ perceptions and practices regarding hearing aid verification and identify facilitators and barriers to its use.Method: A cross-sectional national e-survey included questions related to demographics, perceptions of verification, verification practices and two open-ended questions regarding the facilitators and barriers to conducting hearing aid verification in South Africa.Results: Seventy-eight South African audiologists, with experience ranging from less than a year to 34 years, completed the online survey. Of these, 76.3% conduct hearing aid verification, while 23.7% seldom or never perform this verification. Among the audiologists who conducted verification, 81.0% reported performing it on both adults and children. More than three-quarters (86.6%) indicated that they conduct verification only during the initial fitting, while half (53.8%) do so only when a problem arises. Thematic analysis revealed the following barriers to verification: improper equipment, a lack of equipment, non-standard clinical practices and time constraints.Conclusion: There are several challenges faced by South African audiologists in performing verification. It may be feasible to address these barriers by raising awareness about the value of verification, offering training, and advocating for the purchase and utilisation of verification equipment.Contribution: This study’s findings provide information on the current practices of hearing aid verification in a socioeconomically diverse setting. Furthermore, it highlights important challenges such as a lack of equipment as well as time constraints.
Teoria e Prática: Reflexões sobre o Ensino de Geografia no Curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul – Campo Grande
Authors: Brites Joice Vareuro da Costa , Pereira Ana Paula Camilo 
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo realizamos uma análise sobre a proposta curricular das disciplinas voltadas para o ensino de Geografia no projeto pedagógico do curso de Pedagogia oferecido pela Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul, unidade de Campo Grande. O objetivo é identificar as principais características e diretrizes dessa área de ensino no curso mencionado. No texto, exploramos diversas perspectivas teórico-prático relacionadas ao ensino de Geografia, destacando autores como Milton Santos no contexto das mudanças sociais e transformações da sociedade, ampliando as reflexões sobre o ensino de Geografia. Além disso, destacamos o ensino da cartografia e sua importância significativa da aprendizagem dos estudantes. Assim, temos como premissa enfatizar que o pedagogo precisa do conhecimento teórico para integrar a prática, a qual é determinante na aprendizagem dos estudantes. Tal reflexão proporciona analisarmos os conhecimentos que o profissional, por meio das disciplinas propostas voltadas para o ensino de Geografia, pode adquirir. Assim, constatamos que o delineamento curricular das disciplinas voltadas para o ensino de Geografia nos processos de formação de pedagogos pode não refletir necessariamente uma compreensão mais aprofundada, especialmente em relação às práticas pedagógicas, o que pode implicar na sociedade atual, e na sociedade que queremos.
Политическая теология С. Л. Франка в контексте христианской философии религии
Authors: Т.Н. Резвых 
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена значению политики в творчестве выдающегося русского религиозного философа С. Л. Франка. Модель Франка можно охарактеризовать как «деполитизацию» (термин К. Шмитта), или «негативную политическую теологию» (термин Я. Таубеса). В статье анализируется работы Франка об обществе и политике. Особенность подхода Франка состоит в том, что он избегает политического самого по себе, сводит его к общественным явлениям. Общественные явления, в свою очередь, Франк выводит из Абсолюта. Абсолют описывается Франком как совпадение противоположностей. Политическая концепция Франка проистекает, таким образом, из его теологии. Примирение противоречий в обществе приводит к отказу от основного содержания политического — политической борьбы. Тем самым политическое отводится на второй план. В статье показано, что предшественниками Франка в концепции деполитизации являются блаженный Августин, Б. Паскаль и С. Кьеркегор.
This article is devoted to the issue of politics in the work of an outstanding Russian religious philosopher S. L. Frank. Frank’s model can be characterized as “depoliticization” (K. Schmitt’s term), or “negative political theology” (J. Taubes’ term). The article analyzes Frank’s works on society and politics. The peculiarity of Frank’s approach is that he avoids the political itself and reduces it to social phenomena. Social phenomena, in turn, are deduced by Frank from the Absolute. The Absolute is described by Frank as the coincidence of opposites. Frank’s political concept thus stems from his theology. Reconciliation of contradictions in society leads to the abandonment of the main content of the political: political struggle. Thus, the political is relegated to the background. The article shows that Frank’s predecessors in the concept of depoliticization are St. Augustine, B. Pascal and S. Kierkegaard.
Reshaping the Irish Economy: The Impact of International Mergers and Acquisitions on the Irish Technology Sector (2021-2023)
Authors: Hassan Sara M 
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This dissertation examines the impact of international mergers and acquisitions (M&A) on the Irish technology sector between 2021 and 2023. It aims to assess how M&A activities have reshaped corporate strategies, influenced organizational culture, and contributed to the broader economic landscape, while identifying challenges and opportunities for involved firms.
Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative survey data from technology sector professionals and qualitative insights from structured interviews with senior executives of companies engaged in M&A. The survey captured organizational perspectives on strategic realignment, cultural integration, employee morale, and economic implications. The interviews offered deeper context on leadership decisions, cultural adaptation, and strategic shifts post-acquisition.
Findings: The research reveals that successful post-M&A outcomes were strongly linked to strategic realignment toward global expansion, product innovation, and operational efficiency. Firms leveraging M&A synergies experienced improved market positioning, faster innovation cycles, and streamlined operations. However, challenges such as cultural integration and maintaining employee morale were significant hurdles. Ireland's regulatory environment emerged as a facilitator, ensuring smooth transitions and compliance, although increased global competition posed both challenges and growth opportunities for local firms.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy, and Practice: This study advances academic discourse by highlighting the interplay between strategic realignment, cultural integration, and regulatory frameworks in post-M&A success. It provides actionable recommendations for technology firms to optimize integration strategies and for policymakers to maintain a supportive yet competitive regulatory environment. The findings also lay the groundwork for future longitudinal studies and cross-industry comparisons to deepen understanding of M&A dynamics.
Greenwashing in ESG: Identifying and Addressing False Claims of Sustainability
Authors: Hassan Sara 
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The study explores the growing issue of greenwashing in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting, identifying common deceptive practices and their impact on stakeholders.
Methodology: A mixed-method approach was used, including content analysis of sustainability reports and interviews with stakeholders across industries. This approach helped uncover the prevalence and nature of greenwashing tactics and evaluate their implications.
Findings: Greenwashing remains a significant barrier to genuine corporate sustainability. Common tactics include selective disclosure, vague claims, and irrelevant assertions, which undermine ESG reporting credibility. The absence of stringent regulatory frameworks and third-party verification exacerbates these practices, leading to eroded stakeholder trust, distorted investment decisions, and hindered consumer awareness. Findings also highlight the sectoral variance in greenwashing tactics and emphasize the need for stricter regulatory measures.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy, and Practice: The research contributes to the ESG field by identifying actionable solutions for curbing greenwashing, including regulatory reforms, mandatory third-party audits, and the adoption of technologies such as blockchain for ESG verification. The study underscores the importance of transparent ESG reporting in fostering trust, enabling informed decisions, and advancing global sustainability goals.

Attending to Animals and Animal Attention
Authors: Ward Nora 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article considers the moral significance of paying attention to animals. In particular, it highlights the potential of environmental attentiveness to disclose animal reality beyond anthropocentric modes of perception. Yet, a possible danger associated with highlighting attention-as-revelation is that human attention becomes centered as the primary mechanism for acquiring normative truths, and there is a consequent ambiguity relating to the role of the attended-to-other. To mitigate this, the article argues that shifting to animal attention may help to conceive of, and enact, the potential of attention to not only reveal but also to affect, reconfigure, and transform human-animal relations.
