Authors: Leshutina I. A. , Lyovushkina A. M. 
Published: July 2024

This article is focused on the study of the modern approach to motivation, the description of the motivational system and its components that are important in the teaching Russian as a foreign language. The study identifies and analyses key components of the motivational system in the teaching of foreign (Russian) language, which are motives, factors of forming motivation, methods and tools that influence the involvement of students in the educational process. A detailed description of the motivational structure in the framework of modern learning, which is considered as a holistic system, including several key components, allows to form a clearer idea of what influences the motivation of modern students, what needs to be considered when teaching Russian as a foreign language to achieve the best results.The motivation of educational activities is directly related to such parameters as values, changes in the general culture of society, the level of technological progress, the complexity of knowledge acquisition. The interest of learners is constantly changing, depending both on the characteristics of society as a whole and on the individual characteristics of each individual. The personal component is an important part of changing the educational motivation, which depends directly on the individual’s aspirations, the ways they choose to achieve the goals. It is also important to define the value of a sphere of life of each individual, which is based on a hierarchy of their needs. The description of the components of the motivational system is given in the context of the modern educational environment and is based on psychological and psycholinguistic features of teaching foreign language communication.The results of the study may be interesting in the linguo-didactical understanding of the components and structure of the motivational system, which provides the creation of an relevant educational environment, which becomes a factor in achieving results in the study of a foreign language.

SPSS and Amos were used to analyze the data. Analysis of moderation and mediation is performed by Process Macro version 23 by Hayes. The findings of this paper reveal that GHRM practices positively influence project citizenship behavior whereas green employee empowerment and quality of work life partially mediate the relationship between GHRM and project citizenship behavior. Moreover, individuals’ green value moderates the effects of green employee empowerment and quality of work life on project citizenship behavior. This study gives insight to the project manager as to the fact that implementing certain GHRM procedures along with empowering the project team and providing quality work life to the team having individual green values will motivate team members to perform citizenship behavior
The Effects of Top Management Team Age Diversity During a Crisis: Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Plečnik James M. , Wang Shan 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
This paper studies the impact of top management team (TMT) age diversity on firm performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that age-diverse TMTs have a combination of various experiences that lead to creative problem solving and that this creativity supports firms in addressing the unique problems created by COVID-19 (e.g., remote work). Overall, we find that age-diverse TMTs improve firm performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further analyses indicate that age diversity is more likely to improve performance for firms subject to significant pandemic pressures (e.g., firms with high physical investment activity). This finding is in contrast to the fact that we find innovative firms do not benefit as much from age diversity, perhaps because these firms were more prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore required less creative leadership. Finally, we find that firms with inclusive cultures best facilitate the implementation of TMT age diversity.

Good Governance in Not-for-Profit Organizations: A Review of the Literature on Boards of Directors
Authors: Kugel Jonathan , Mercado Julie M. 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
We review factors that contribute to good governance in not-for-profit (NFP) organizations, specifically the performance and effectiveness of Boards of Directors. Assessing Board performance is a difficult task because of the variety of missions that NFPs strive to achieve and the assortment of stakeholders that they aim to appease. It is further complicated by the limited amount of data that are available and relevant to NFP Boards. Researchers often control for good governance by using an organization’s self-reported information about basic policies and procedures as a proxy for performance, but assessing a Board directly often involves more nuanced information. This review provides background information about NFP Boards, discusses relevant governance theories and the related Board roles commonly examined in NFP research, examines what is known about the performance and effectiveness of Boards in those roles, and suggests ideas for future NFP Board governance research.

Published: July 2024

Background: Depression is currently one of the most common mental disorders worldwide. Although there are valuable and effective psychotherapeutic models for its treatment, most focus on reducing symptoms and illness. In contrast, the Positive Psychology approach promotes well-being by developing and implementing strategies, called Positive Clinical Interventions (PCIs) that aim to enhance the development and satisfaction of individuals to promote health, quality of life, and excellence. Methods: This review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the effectiveness of PCIs according to the type and therapeutic model implemented to increase well-being and reduce depressive symptoms in adults, as well as to identify their value and balance between innovation and effectiveness. We searched PubMed, PsycINFO and SCOPUS, followed the PRISMA guidelines and assessed the methodological quality of the studies. Our review has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024551678). Results: The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP), which allowed six studies out of 178 to be included in the systematic review. Second and third-generation treatment models were identified. All studies reported an improvement in depressive symptoms and an increase in well-being immediately after the intervention and up to six months later. Conclusions: According to the results, PCIs are effective, but studies with more rigorous protocols and methods are needed to avoid bias.

The use of reduced toxicity conditioning regimens in patients with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) leads to the reduction of toxic effects of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Currently, HSCT should result not only in disease control, but also in the improvement of the quality of life. We report the experience of HSCT in PID with TCRab+/CD19+ graft depletion after conditioning regimen containing treosulfan in combination with thiotepa as a second alkylating agent. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology. A group of 79 PID patients aged 0.5–17.6 years (the median age was 3.1 years) received HSCT from HLA matched related (n = 5), unrelated (n = 34) and haploidentical (n = 40) donors. The incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) ≥ grade II was 21%, grade III GVHD was observed in 3.8%, and none of the patients had GVHD grade IV. There were no cases of severe toxicity, including venoocclusive disease and thrombotic microangiopathy. The incidence of primary and secondary graft failure was 15.4%. The overall survival was 82.3%. There was no statistical difference between overall survival rates of patients who underwent transplantation from different types of donors (p = 0.164). All deaths were transplant-related and were due to infections. The use of thiotepa in reduced toxicity conditioning regimen is effective and safe, and can be considered as an option for HSCT in PID.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Robotics and automation have significantly transformed Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining operations, enhancing productivity, precision, and efficiency. Robots are employed to load and unload raw materials, workpieces, and finished parts onto CNC machines. They can efficiently handle heavy and bulky components, reducing the demand of manual labour and minimizing the risk of injuries. Robots can also be used in CNC machine tools to perform tasks such as automatic tool changing system, part inspection, and workpiece positioning. Automation technologies, including in-line inspection systems and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, can be integrated into CNC machining cells to enhance accuracy and reduce scrap and rework in machining operations. These systems collect real-time data on process parameters and machine tool performance to predict maintenance, optimize machining parameters, and improve overall efficiency. In the current study, applications of robotics and automation in the modification of CNC machine tools are reviewed and discussed. Different applications of robotics and automation in CNC machine tools, such as automated material handling, automatic tool changing, robotic work cells, adaptive machining, machine tending, quality inspection, data monitoring and analysis, and production line integration, are discussed. Thus, by analysing recent achievements in published papers, new ideas and concepts of future research works are suggested. As a result, accuracy as well as productivity in the process of part production can be enhanced by applying robotics and automation in CNC machining operations.

Abstract
Simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) is a process by which robots build maps of their environment and simultaneously determine their location and orientation in the environment. In recent years, SLAM research has advanced quickly. Researchers are currently working on developing reliable and accurate visual SLAM algorithms dealing with dynamic environments. The steps involved in developing a SLAM system are described in this article. We explore the most-recent methods used in SLAM systems, including probabilistic methods, visual methods, and deep learning (DL) methods. We also discuss the fundamental techniques utilised in SLAM fields.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Thermography is a non-invasive imaging technique that has been used for the assessment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this research was to compare the heating rate of the proximal phalanx of the fingers and the whole palms in RA and that of healthy subjects. The study was conducted on 48 patients with high disease activity, hospitalised for RA, and 45 healthy subjects. The thermograms were taken with the FLIR camera E60bx. Subjects were instructed to immerse both hands up to the wrist in water thermostatically controlled at 0°C for 30 s. Then, the hands were pulled out of the water; the warm-up period was 180 s. Image pre-processing included: segmentation, extraction and anatomy identification. The mean value of the heating rate for whole palms and the proximal phalanx of the fingers in the RA group was lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). This coincides with the uneven flow of the heat-transfer blood caused by the disease. However, the difference between the heating rates of the proximal phalanx of the fingers was greater than that of the entire hand. In addition, the proximal phalanx heating rates of the second, third and fourth fingers were higher than those of the outermost two fingers. The study may be used to develop clinical tools in the detection of abnormal heat signatures in the phalanx proximal of the fingers.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
‘Shlor-Tsiran’ (literally called ‘Plum-Apricot’) is an old black apricot cultivar, which is traditionally cultivated in Armenia. Taxonomically, it belongs to Prunus × dasycarpa Ehrh., which is a spontaneous hybrid of apricot and cherry plum (P. armeniaca L. × P. cerasifera Ehrh.). Currently, ‘Shlor-Tsiran’ is considered to be very rare in Armenia and it occurs as single trees in old home orchards of the Ararat Valley. It is characterised by high frost and disease resistance, late flowering and fruiting compared with other cultivated apricots, and is of interest for the development of apricot cultivars displaying delayed fruit ripening and enhanced frost resistance. This study aims to phenotype the cv. ‘Shlor-Tsiran’ taking into consideration 67 quantitative and qualitative characteristics of vegetative and generative organs, growth and development. Morphological description of the cv. ‘Shlor-Tsiran’, comparing with its parent species, P. armeniaca and P. cerasifera, was performed. Data on fertility and viability of pollen grains, biochemical and nutritional properties of fruits and tree productivity are provided. The data obtained should contribute to a wider use and conservation of the black apricot cv. ‘Shlor-Tsiran’ gene pool, which can be used for breeding purposes as well. The article is illustrated with tables and original photographs.
