Psychological and Pedagogical Support for Mitigating Anxiety in Preschool Education: A Comprehensive Approach to Enhancing Cognitive and Emotional Development
Authors: Konysbayeva Aliya , Zavalishina Olga , Abdrakhmanov Asan , Abdrakhmanova Roza 
Published: January 2025

The study investigates the organizational and pedagogical conditions of psychological and pedagogical support for children with manifestations of anxiety in preschool education institutions based on the personality-oriented model of interaction in the framework of a comprehensive approach to the organization of the educational and upbringing process. Proceeding from a theoretical analysis of the problem and an empirical study, the authors propose a system of work on the organization of psychological and pedagogical support of children with anxiety. The research goal is to explore the features of anxiety in preschool children and develop a program of psychological and pedagogical support for them in preschool. The authors employ theoretical analysis, empirical methods, and diagnostic techniques: the "Choose the right face" anxiety test, the "Stairs" method, the "Find and cross out" test (assessing productivity and attention span), the "Put marks" test, the diagnostic method for the level of development of emotional intelligence in older preschoolers, and the anxiety signs questionnaire, as well as mathematical statistics methods (Fisher's angular transformation). As a result of the study, the authors identify the features of anxiety in older preschool children. A project of a psychological and pedagogical support program for children with a high level of anxiety within the educational process of a preschool organization is proposed. The scientific novelty and theoretical significance of the research lie in the expansion and clarification of scientific knowledge about the specific features of anxiety among preschool children in the context of their inclusion in the education and upbringing process. The authors determine the organizational and pedagogical conditions necessary for psychological and pedagogical support of children with anxiety in preschool. Summarized results of the study can be utilized in professional practice by educators, educational psychologists, and other specialists in preschool education, in diagnostic and psycho-corrective work, and when developing programs and methodical materials to support children with anxiety in coping with the challenges of learning and development.

Understanding Consumer Perceptions and Behavioral Indicators in the Life Insurance Market
Authors: Lamçja Methasani Jonida , Aliaj Ada , Tota Ikbale 
Published: January 2025

The growing complexity of life insurance markets requires a deep understanding of the many factors that shape people's choices about buying life insurance. This investigation examines the determinants that affect individuals' choices to secure life insurance coverage, utilizing binary, ordinal logistic and an unordered multinomial regression to scrutinize demographic and socioeconomic variables. The model's statistical significance is validated by a Chi-Squared statistic, -2 Log Likelihood and the explanatory power is measured using Cox & Snell R Square, Nagelkerke R Square and McFadden. The research is grounded in a comprehensive survey of 843 respondents, examining key factors like age, gender, education, income, size, savings, opinion, and status, assessing how they impact life insurance licensing and Willingness to Acquire Insurance. The findings reveal limited predictors for the possession of a life insurance license, with significant positive correlations observed for Income and Information, while demographic factors such as Age, Gender, Status, and Size showed no significant effects. The ordinal logistic regression model identified Size as a significant predictor of willingness to acquire insurance, although Age and Income displayed marginal positive influences. Notably, negative opinions significantly impacted willingness, while Savings correlated negatively, yet without statistical significance. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders aiming to enhance life insurance penetration by addressing motivational and barrier factors encountered by potential insured individuals. The study highlights the limitations of consumer perception research done only in one country because its findings are specific to Albania. Expanding the sample to include a wider geographic range could also provide deeper insights into the motivations and barriers faced by potential policyholders.

This systematic review analyses the impact of variability in fertilizer prices on farmers' profitability from an interdisciplinary perspective. An exhaustive search was conducted in specialized databases, applying eligibility criteria and assessing the quality of the studies. The results reveal that fertilizer price volatility is a critical factor affecting agricultural profitability globally, with effects varying according to the context. In addition to prices, various economic, agronomic, and environmental factors influence farmers' decisions regarding fertilizer use. Among the strategies explored to mitigate negative impacts are subsidies, the promotion of efficient technologies, the development of value chains for organic fertilizers, and policies that promote price stabilization and risk management. The bibliometric analysis highlights the relevance of the topic in high-impact journals in environmental sciences, agricultural economics, and sustainable technology. It is concluded that addressing this issue requires a comprehensive and systemic approach that considers economic, agronomic, and environmental elements, and the need for future research that delves into the analysis of specific contexts, evaluates the impact of different interventions, and develops interdisciplinary approaches is emphasized. Promoting the long-term economic and environmental sustainability of agriculture will require a concerted effort from the scientific community, policymakers, and agricultural sector stakeholders.

Assessing the Impact of Information Sources on Public Engagement in Social Actions: A Study on the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Authors: Borakaj Daniel , Gashi Jonida 
Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the impact of information sources on public engagement in social actions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed across Albania, achieving a response rate of 83.8% from 500 distributed questionnaires. The survey ensured anonymity and confidentiality of respondents, enhancing the reliability of the data collected. The analysis began with an assessment of the internal consistency of the questionnaire using Cronbach's alpha, which resulted in a value of 0.723, indicating reliable measures. Factor analysis identified five key components influencing opinions on the Russia-Ukraine conflict: information sources and perception of reality, views on external stances and support, concerns about peace and sovereignty, military intervention and neutrality, and influences on Albania’s stance. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that these factors significantly predict social action participation related to the conflict, with an overall model R² of 0.727. The analysis revealed that well-informed individuals are more likely to engage in social actions, while concerns about Albania's stance have a negative influence. This research underscores the importance of reliable information and external support views in shaping public engagement in social actions. The findings provide a structured understanding of how various factors influence public perceptions and actions, offering valuable insights for policymakers and researchers in conflict and social behavior studies. This paper has some limitation as; inclusiveness of all groups in society equally and psychological biases can affect our observations.

Many Streams: A Critical Review of Modernism’s Divergent Modes of Consciousness
Authors: Karakaҫi Dalila , Alija Ermira 
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to present an aspect of modernist aesthetics, namely tracing form and content as exposed through the stream-of-consciousness technique used by different modernist authors, such as Virginia Woolf, Henry James, Dorothy Richardson, and predominantly, James Joyce and William Faulkner. While analyzing the narrative structures of Ulysses and The Sound and the Fury, it is possible to evaluate modernist aesthetics in general, and the various forms of the stream exercised by James Joyce, William Faulkner, and other modernist authors. Woolf explored individuals’ stream of consciousness. Henry James considered the novel as an art form, from which the human existence was enriched. Dorothy Richardson, and her predecessors, including Dujardin, altered the elaboration of the novel through the stream’s perspective, making it their focus. Joyce and Faulkner “were all using ‘the new method’, though very differently, simultaneously” (Richardson 1995, p.282). In Ulysses, the ordinary becomes the essence of the story and the focus is modern human existence through characterless being. In The Sound and the Fury, Faulkner defines the traumatic incidents of his individuals, leading to the fragmentation of self by way of psychedelic fantasies. Through a qualitative analysis, such as the use of narratology, psychoanalytic criticism of Bergson and William James, and a textual analysis it is possible to convey the divergent modes of modernist consciousness.

This study examined the influence of body dissatisfaction on self-inflicted violence in adolescent girls from Lambayeque, Peru. Through an explanatory quantitative design, a sample of 278 high school female students was analyzed using the BSQ questionnaire and a scale of self-inflicted violence. The results revealed that body dissatisfaction has a significant impact on self-inflicted violence (r: .494; p<0.01; Y= 19.100+0.182X), explaining 24% of the variance in the dependent variable, with similar impacts on its dimensions: risk factors (18%), suicidal ideation (17%), and suicidal behavior (16%); These findings expand previous research by breaking down self-inflicted violence and quantifying the specific influence of body dissatisfaction. The study highlights the importance of addressing body image in preventive and therapeutic interventions for adolescents, especially in the regional context where an increase in self-harm and suicidal behaviors has been observed. The need for future research to explore additional factors and mediation mechanisms in this relationship is emphasized

The Articles and Demonstrative Pronoun Case Forms in English and Albanian: A Corpus-Based Study
Authors: Millaku Shkelqim , Zymberaj Shpetim , Millaku Xhevahire 
Published: January 2025

The Albanian article problem, despite the numerous contributions given so far, presents several questions still to be answered. As this problem in Albanian is rather complex, it is necessary to keep in mind that it has appeared to realize the formal and semantic opposition definite – indefinite. In attested Albanian the genuine definite article is postpositive. The so-called prepositive articles perform: 1) A function similar to that of the morphemes, when they are used as an integral part of the genitive case, of the pre-articulated adjective or nouns. 2) A determinative function, when the prepositive article /të/ is used before the cardinal number (from two upwards), or before the indefinite pronouns /gjithë and tërë/. 3) A function similar to that of the possessive pronouns when they are used with ancient kinship nouns /I ati, e ëma etc). Concerning the chronology of the postpositive and prepositive articles in Albanian, some scholars (Pedersen etc.) consider the prepositive article to be primary, whereas Çabej is of an opposite opinion, which seems to be more sustainable. He upholds his thesis by numerous phonetic and morpho-syntactic arguments, among which one may cite the age of the acc. Sing. Article from -në (-n-të), the greater reduction of the postpositive article case forms, their closer link with the noun etc. Various opinions have been expressed on the age of the postpositive article. At any rate, it seems to have appeared not later than the first centuries of our era. The prepositive article is also of a relatively old age (Sh. Demiraj).

The objective of this research was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of the Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza de Amazonas (UNTRM), identifying emerging trends and thematic gaps. The study had a non-experimental design and a quantitative-descriptive approach, reviewing 786 documents from the Scopus database until June 11, 2024, and 379 theses published in the faculty until December 31, 2023. The results show a concentration in traditional lines of research such as taxation, local economy, and organizational management, which contribute to regional development. However, significant gaps were identified in emerging areas such as circular economy, green finance, and the use of advanced technologies (artificial intelligence and big data). These topics are fundamental in the global agenda and require greater interdisciplinary attention. It was concluded that it is necessary to diversify the lines of research and promote interdisciplinary projects, aligning scientific production with global trends and enhancing their regional and local impact.

Assessing the Impact of MOOCs and Soft Skills on Research Competencies Using SEM
Authors: Mellado Juan Pablo , Barreto Urpi , Abarca Yasser , Diaz Jorge , Barreto Orlando 
Published: January 2025

In an increasingly digitized academic world, MOOCs have become a flexible and accessible solution for higher education. These online courses promise to enhance student participation and collaboration on a global scale. However, their effectiveness in developing research competencies remains a topic of debate. This study, conducted with 192 graduate students in Peru, investigates the influence of MOOCs and soft skills on research competencies, utilizing exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, with structural equation modeling applied to the latter. The results show that MOOCs do not significantly impact research skills; however, soft skills such as communication, respect, and teamwork emerge as key factors for success in research competencies. The relationship between MOOCs and soft skills is low, suggesting that these courses do not include elements that significantly contribute to the development of these skills. These findings help fill a gap in the literature on the effectiveness of MOOCs in the Latin American context and highlight the need for educational approaches that prioritize interpersonal development. Practical implications suggest that graduate programs should focus their efforts on strengthening soft skills to better prepare researchers for current academic and professional challenges.
