THE FUNCTIONING AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE WITHIN THE RAMEWORK OF THE LANGUAGE POLICY OF UZBEKISTAN
Authors: Lyamkina Viktoriya A. 
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of historical facts, the causes of the emergence, functioning and spread of the Russian language in Uzbekistan. A linguistic community is considered, where the dominant language and the minority language function simultaneously. The modern language situation of any state increases the importance of the communicative and political aspects of the language policy within the country. The policy pursued by the Republic of Uzbekistan testifies to the attitude towards both the state language and other languages. Therefore, the question of the possibility of the existence of the Russian language in the region becomes relevant. The author seeks to trace the process of changing its status and the evolution of distribution. The issue of the functioning of the Russian language in the region continues to be debatable.
Seven
Authors: Dyer Richard 
Published: June 2024

David Fincher's Seven (1995) follows two detectives, David Mills (Brad Pitt) and William Somerset (Morgan Freeman), as they investigate a series of gruesome murders. One of the most acclaimed films of the 1990s, it explores themes of moral decay, human darkness, and the blurred lines between good and evil.
Richard Dyer's study of the film, unpacks how its cinematography, sound, and plot combine to create a harrowing account of a world beset by an all-encompassing, irremediable wickedness. He explores the film in terms of sin, story, structure, seriality, sound, sight and salvation, analyzing how Seven both epitomizes and modifies the serial killer genre, which is such a feature of recent cinema.
This new edition includes a new afterword by the author, re-assessing the film's lasting impact and influence over contemporary filmmaking aesthetics.
Women and Political Participation
Authors: Burrell Barbara 
Published: June 2024

An illuminating analysis of the long and ongoing struggle of women in America to gain political equality and bring about change in public policy.
Women and Political Participationexamines the involvement of women in American politics, concentrating mainly on their participation since the birth of the second women's movement in the late 1960s. From the creation of grassroots and national organizations to voting and running for office, this thought-provoking volume explores the diverse ways in which women have affected change and achieved greater representation in political leadership.
Detailed discussions of key documents like the Declaration of Sentiments and the Equal Rights Amendment; political action committees such as EMILY's List, which supports pro-choice Democratic female candidates; Margaret Sanger, Betty Friedan, and other activists; and groups like the League of Women Voters reveal the complexities of women's efforts to gain equality and identify the barriers that remain today.
Animals and Science
Authors: Shanks Niall 
Published: June 2024

Animals and Scienceexamines the debates, from the Renaissance to the present, surrounding issues of animal rights, consciousness, and self-awareness.
Animals and Scienceexamines what science has (and has not) taught us about the nature of nonhuman animals and explores the moral, religious, social, and scientific implications of those teachings. It shows how the scientific study of animals, especially their cognitive abilities, has transformed our understanding of them.Animals and Sciencetraces our evolving understanding of animal pain and considers its moral relevance to humans. It discusses Darwin's belief-shattering notion that species differences are not absolute, then traces its impact to the present day.

Ethics in American Adoption
Authors: Babb L.  Anne 
Published: June 2024

Today in the United States there is a lack of consensus about what constitutes ethical practice in adoption. Although ethics in adoption is a hot topic, adoption specialists and professionals are unsure about how to serve the best interests of children who need to be adopted and how birth parents, adoptive parents, and adult adoptees ought to be served. This failure to identify and prioritize ethical standards in adoption has resulted in a lack of ethical decision-making and inadequate—and sometimes fraudulent—treatment of those seeking adoption-related services.
Destined to be seminal in the fields of ethics and adoption, this books offers numerous case studies describing what is wrong with America's adoption system, illustrating what the lack of applied ethical standards in adoption does to adoptees and those who love them, and raising many questions about what adoption facilitators are doing, who is accountable for what they are doing, and whose interests they are serving.

Statistical Models for the Social and Behavioral Sciences
Authors: Crown William H. 
Published: June 2024

Multiple regression analysis has been widely used by researchers to analyze complex social problems since the 1950s. A specialization in economics, known as econometrics, developed out of a recognition that multiple regression is based upon a large number of assumptions—many of which are commonly violated in specific applications. Econometricians developed tests for violations of the regression model assumptions, as well as a variety of corrective measures for estimating regression models in the presence of many of the violations. Unfortunately, the mathematical sophistication required to understand the econometrics literature started out high and has continued to rise over the years. As a consequence, an understanding of the assumptions of the regression model, tests for violations, and corrective estimation approaches have failed to permeate widely many other policy-related disciplines such as political science, social work, public administration, and sociology.
One of the key objectives of this book is to translate the results from the econometrics literature into language that policy analysts from other disciplines can understand easily. A second objective is to present a discussion of so-called limited-dependent variable models. One of the assumptions of the regression model is that the dependent variable is measured on an interval scale. But often the dependent variable of interest is discrete or categorical. Whether someone is in poverty or, whether they are working full-time, part-time, or out of the labor force, marital status—all are examples of categorical variables that might be of policy interest. Moreover, the growing availability of large-scale public use data sets containing information on individuals and families has heightened the relevance of categorical variables in policy analysis. The mathematical preparation required to understand procedures for estimating categorical models is, however, even more daunting than that for fully understanding and using the regression model. As with the theoretical development of the regression model, most presentations of categorical models, such as Logit and Probit, are to be found in econometric literature. Moreover, this literature offers little in the way of practical advice on how to estimate and interpret model results. This book is the first to present a detailed and accessible discussion of multiple regression and limited-dependent variable models in the context of policy analysis. As such it will be an invaluable resource for most scholars, researchers, and students in the social and behavioral sciences.

The Future of Corporate Globalization
Authors: Sullivan Jeremiah J. 
Published: June 2024

Paradigms are shifting. The capitalist market model, orextended order, whose globalization forces support the business methods of multinational corporations, is giving way to theGlobal Villagemodel—one of justice, virtue, stability, and national sovereignty. Sullivan contends that by creating conditions for opposition, globalization may be dooming itself. Here he explains the shifting paradigm and considers its likely impact on corporate conduct.
Companies ignoring the growing chorus of discontent with globalization do so at their peril. But those who adapt to new realities will not merely survive—they will prosper. This book details the adaptations that corporations need to implement to safeguard their roles in the future:
• Corporate governance bodies will increasingly include NGO representatives and employees. • Justice, stability, virtue, and national cultural identity will become corporate goals, alongside the profit motive. • Customer relationships will become enriched by mutual obligations and trust. • Risky global corporate strategies will have less appeal than more stable avenues of action. • Employee relations will increasingly take into account workers' growing desire for meaningful labor whose rewards entail more than financial remuneration. • Managers will become more like public servants and less like independent agents.
The persistence of these trends—accelerated by the growing power of the Internet to bring far-flung activists together in pursuit of common goals—threatens the existing order as never before.
Guarding the Gates
Authors: LeMay Michael C. 
Published: June 2024

National security has always been an integral consideration in immigration policy, never more so than in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. This is the first history of American immigration policy written in the post-9/11 environment to focus specifically on the role of national security considerations in determining that policy. As LeMay makes clear, this is not the first time America has worried about letting foreigners through our gates.
By the time readers reach the final chapter, in which current policies regarding the interplay between immigration and national security are discussed, they have the historical perspective necessary to assess the pros and cons of what is happening today. They are able to more clearly answer questions such as: Does putting the Immigration and Naturalization Service under the Department of Homeland Security make the country more secure? Do vigilantes improve border security? How are we handling the balance between national security and civil liberties compared to the ways in which we handled it during World Wars I and II and the Cold War? LeMay does not advocate a specific policy; rather, he gives citizens and students the tools to make up their own minds about this enduringly controversial issue.

Medieval Castles
Authors: Stokstad Marilyn 
Published: June 2024

The castle was far more than a walled and turreted fortress; it was an instrument of social control and the symbol of power, authority, and wealth. Acknowledged expert Marilyn Stokstad combines interpretive essays and original documents in English translation in order to examine the role of the castle in society as well as its use in war.
Commencing with an overview of the military and social systems operating in the Middle Ages, Stokstad places castles and other fortified places into an appropriate context. Readers are then guided through the development of early motte and bailey castles and the development of masonry towers and walls in the 11th and 12th centuries.Medieval Castlesconsiders the military aspect of castles, including seige warfare and the architectural response to attack and defence, in the 12th and 13th centuries. It explores castles and citadels as local and regional government and economic centers in the 14th and 15th centuries. It also looks at the symbolic role of architecture and at castles as elite residences and settings for public display. A concluding interpretive essay looks at the impact of gunpowder on castles as well as our continuing fascination with the castle as a romantic fantasy of an idealized world.
Multicultural and Diversity Education
Authors: Appelbaum Peter 
Published: June 2024

A state-of-the-art resource concentrating on the practical applications, philosophical and social policy motivations, and historical development of various approaches to multicultural education in the United States.
In this comprehensive introduction to multicultural education, author Peter Appelbaum reveals that Native American-run schools in the early 19th century produced nearly 100 percent literacy rates—higher among western Oklahoma Cherokees than among whites in nearby Texas or Arkansas. Today, as the country rapidly becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, he discusses how success in diversity education requires that administrators, teachers, and students change the way they look at each other, the curriculum, and the structures and policies that govern schools.
Diversity and Multicultural Education: A Reference Handbookexamines the political and educational arguments for and against multicultural education, provides a range of curriculum approaches, describes the dilemmas of assessment, and explores political and legal issues. Also included are a chronology, directories, and bibliographies.
Translation and validation of the Polish-language version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) and its relationship to the type of delivery and the baby’s Apgar score

Published: June 2024

BackgroundMaternal birth experience is being increasingly recognised as a key clinical outcome parameter. The Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) is a short self-report measure designed to assess birth experience. The current investigation sought to trans-late the BSS-R into Polish and validate this version of the BSS-R (PL-BSS-R).Participants and procedureThe BSS-R was translated into Polish by an expert panel using forward and backward translation. A complex within-subjects design with an embedded between-subjects component was used to determine the key psychometric characteristics of the PL-BSS-R. Two hundred ninety-four Polish-speaking women in Poland completed the follow-up component of the study where the PL-BSS-R was administered. The PL-BSS-R measurement properties were examined using confirmatory factor analysis, divergent, convergent validity analysis, internal consistency appraisal and investigation of known-groups discriminant characteristics.ResultsThe PL-BSS-R was found to have generally very good measurement properties and to be equivalent to the original English-language version across key validity indices. The PL-BBS-R was found to be significantly correlated with neonatal physical health immediately postpartum and differed across delivery modes.ConclusionsThe PL-BSS-R is a psychometrically robust measure of birth experience appropriate for clinical and research use within Po-land. Important associations were noted between subjective maternal birth experience and objective measures of neonatal physical health, indicating a critically important future research direction.

La estabilidad de la economía mixta en Nicaragua
Authors: Katwijk Fred van 
Published: June 2024

Evaluación de la viabilidad de los objetivos economícos de la revolución sandinista. El autor trata de responder a las siguientes preguntas: ¿Es posible la planificación estatal en una economía mixta como la de Nicaragua? ¿Puede ser la economía mixta un sistema estable? Aparentemente el modelo de economía mixta nicaragüense es estable, pero cabe preguntarse si no existen tendencias desestabilizadoras dentro de él.
La evaluación se hace a partir de cinco factores determinantes de una economía mixta: la ideología de los dirigentes, la política de acumulación y los instrumentos estatales para captar el excedente, la política de precios, la conducta de los productores privados y su disposición a producir e invertir, y las influencias externas.

Asociación entre el estado emocional y el grado de severidad del acúfeno en una cohorte de 53 participantes
Authors: Fernández Ledesma Marta , Sanz-Fernández Ricardo , Cuesta Ruiz María , Cobo Parra Pedro 
Published: June 2024

El acúfeno o tinnitus es una percepción sonora sin que exista una fuente acústica interna o externa identificable. Este síntoma afecta aproximadamente al 14% de la población adulta, y dicho porcentaje aumenta con la edad. En este estudio se evalúa la relación entre el estado emocional y el grado de severidad del acúfeno en una muestra de 53 participantes antes de comenzar una terapia sonora. Para la valoración del estado emocional se utilizó el cuestionario Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), dividido en sus dos subescalas: ansiedad (HADA) y depresión (HADD). Para la severidad del acúfeno, se han utilizado los cuestionarios Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) y Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI). En la muestra se encontró una fuerte correlación positiva entre las escalas de ansiedad (HADA) y depresión (HADD) con los cuestionarios THI y TFI (r = 0,80 y 0,81, respectivamente). Los resultados respaldan la relación entre los trastornos emocionales y la severidad del acúfeno, subrayando la necesidad de un enfoque interdisciplinar para su tratamiento que aborde tanto los aspectos físicos como los emocionales
