This article offers an ideological examination of China’s ecological civilisation initiative with respect to its globalisation agenda. The basic argument is that the Chinese state’s eco-civilisation project is an open-ended, statist technocratic bricolage that appropriates a philosophy of human­–nature harmony and facilitates a reformed communism intended to enchant both domestic and global audiences with a set of human universal values. The article considers eco-civilisation to be technically devised as an attractive initiative packed with the Chinese state’s propagated universal values without a specific manual of operations. It is a one-size-fits-all concept but provides enough room for creative tailoring under specific circumstances in different geographical, cultural, economic and political contexts. In the course of delivering this argument, the article discusses how eco-civilisation is domestically and internationally promoted and how it is an inherent part of the renewed but reformed communism of the Chinese state., International Quarterly for Asian Studies, Vol. 53 No. 3 (2022): China beyond China, Part II

Universidad Nacional promotes academic integrity in its institutional regulations; however, it is necessary to consider other dishonest practices such as collusion, which lacks disclosure, and importance and, in some cases, is confusing or unknown to the university community. Paradoxically, collusion implies active cooperation with other people, a principle that is also an essential part of collaborative work; however, collusion induces fraud and is deliberate. This research considers first-year university students at the Secretarial School of Universidad Nacional and uses a mixed-method sequential explicative design. According to the findings, it was possible to determine that most students have optimal moral development according to Kohlberg stages, which helps them to identify collusion practices as a lack of academic integrity. Nonetheless, cognitive dissonance justifies these practices based on values ​​such as solidarity, loyalty, and compassion. Likewise, because of cultural normalization factors, due to thoughts such as "everyone does it," the students incur in collusion instead of carrying out collaborative work. In conclusion, acts of academic dishonesty must be approached from a formative and not a punitive approach, turning them into learning and reflexive experiences that lead to correct decision-making. The students must learn to live with academic integrity and act with responsibility, honesty, respect, trust, fairness, and courage in any activity related to academic work. La Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica promueve la integridad académica en su normativa institucional, no obstante, es necesario la divulgación de otras prácticas deshonestas que no considera, como la colusión, la cual paradójicamente tiene implícito una cooperación activa con otras personas, principio que también es parte esencial del trabajo colaborativo, sin embargo, la colusión induce al fraude y es deliberada, y, en algunos casos desconocida por la comunidad universitaria. La población seleccionada considera estudiantes de primer ingreso de la Escuela de Secretariado Profesional de la Universidad Nacional, se utiliza el enfoque mixto y el diseño explicativo secuencial (DEXPLIX). Entre los principales resultados obtenidos se logró determinar que la mayoría del grupo estudiantil tiene un óptimo desarrollo moral de acuerdo con los estadios de Kohlberg, lo que coadyuva a identificar prácticas de colusión como faltas a la integridad académica. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, debido a la disonancia cognoscitiva, se justifican estas prácticas, a partir de valores como la solidaridad, la lealtad, y la compasión. Asimismo, por factores culturales de normalización, por pensamientos como “todo el mundo lo hace”, el estudiantado incurre en colusión en lugar de realizar trabajo colaborativo. Se concluye que los actos de deshonestidad académica deben ser abordados desde un enfoque formativo y no punitivo, convirtiéndolos en experiencias de aprendizaje y reflexión que conduzcan a una toma de decisiones acertada. El estudiantado debe aprender a vivir la integridad académica y actuar con responsabilidad, honestidad, respeto, confianza, justicia y valentía en cualquier actividad relacionada con el trabajo académico.

Também, devido a fatores culturais de normalização, por causa de pensamentos como "todo mundo faz isso", os estudantes se envolvem em conluio ao invés de trabalho colaborativo. Conclui-se que atos de desonestidade acadêmica devem ser abordados a partir de uma abordagem formativa e não punitiva, transformando-os em experiências de aprendizagem e reflexão que levem a uma tomada de decisão acertada. Os estudantes devem aprender a viver a integridade acadêmica e agir com responsabilidade, honestidade, respeito, confiança, justiça e coragem em qualquer atividade relacionada ao trabalho acadêmico.

В статье показано, что тесное взаимодействие сакральных и профанных центров поселенческой структуры старообрядцев часовенного согласия на протяжении почти ста лет составляло основу этнокультурных ландшафтов «енисейского меридиана» — единого религиозно-экономического пространства, включавшего в себя современные территории Тувы и Красноярского края. На основе полевых материалов авторов, собранных в ходе экспедиционных поездок в места компактного проживания старообрядцев-часовенных Верхнего и Нижнего Енисея 2004–2021 гг., а также архивных документов по истории старообрядческих миграций, в работе реконструированы основные вехи уникального жизненного пути Клавдии Ивановны Юрковой (по отцу Сальниковой), которая еще в юном возрасте была отдана в Дубчесский монастырь и прожила там двенадцать лет вплоть до его разорения в 1951 г. Контент-анализ записанных в разные годы текстов интервью позволил выявить эмоционально окрашенные высказывания, характерные для биографического нарратива, и воссоздать значимые фрагменты системы ценностей информанта. Де­лается вывод, что траектория земной жизни старообрядцев-часовенных, рассмот­ренная на фоне миграционных процессов, является проекцией их духовной жизни как пути к спасению.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of spiritual intelligence on the quality of work life (QWL) of college teachers. Besides this, the mediating impact of psychological capital on improving their QWL and moderating effect of gender has also been examined in the study. Design/methodology/approach Variance-based structural equation modelling is used for testing the proposed structural model with a sample of 451 college teachers. Findings The findings of the study reveal that QWL is positively influenced by spiritual intelligence. Moreover, QWL can be augmented with the presence of psychological capital. Nevertheless, there exist no gender differences with respect to the relationships of the study. Practical implications The study holds implications for the teachers and educational institutions as they can prepare themselves to cope up with the stressful events and experience a good QWL. Social implications A teacher’s role is said to be instrumental in bringing about a holistic development in pupil’s personality by instilling right value system in him/her. Nevertheless, such role of the teachers can only be justified if the teachers are equipped with higher levels of spiritual intelligence and are psychologically more active and satisfied with their work life. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first of its kind that makes an incremental contribution to the QWL literature by exploring a partial mediating role of psychological capital on the relationship between spiritual intelligence and QWL.

The bread in one form or another has been known to people all over the world. Linguistic data and rites show that the Lithuanians have been eating bread since ancient times. Bread is mentioned in the small-form verbal folklore, songs, sagas, fairy tales, beliefs and various rites. In ancient times the bread was personalised and deified. The examples from the dialect dictionaries were also included into the research because every dialectal saying is an example of cultural message, manifestation of tradition nurturance and preservation, a part of cultural heritage, which links the past with the present. The dialectal examples show, what is deep-rooted in the tradition, what is passed down from generation to generation, what lies in the traditional value system and what makes the essence of an ethnic group. Due to these reasons the dialectal texts have a huge public or cultural value as they denote a content that is significant to a certain community. Having completed the analysis of dialectal discourse, it can be stated that various dictionaries construct the following picture of the concept bread: bread is the main meal of people, it is baked from different kinds of cereal flours, it is respected and saved, it has healing powers; the bread baked at home is the most delicious; if there is no bread, a person starves; to have bread all the time one has to work hard because baking bread is labour-intensive work, which has to be performed with knowledge and love, to make bread delicious and fragrant, calamus, cabbage or maple leaves are put under a loaf of bread, it is decorated or marked with sacred signs; an individual equals bread with human activity and appearance; bread is a measure of life, a reference point for evaluating certain actions. The place of bread in the human life is reflected by derivates as well: special things, capacities for mixing, souring, baking, slicing or keeping bread; other meals prepared from bread.

المستخلص باللغة العربية يتناول البحث دراسة التحول النسقي الاجتماعي کما ظهر في تجربة الکتابة الروائية لجيل من الکتاب عرف نقديا بجيل الستينات، إلا أن الإبداع الروائي لبعضهم استمر في الألفية کما کان في سابقتها، حيث أضمرت رواياتهم تحولات نسقية للمجتمع المصري في الألفية الجديدة، مثل التحول الذي لحق بالمنظومة القيمية، وبمجتمع القرية المصرية، وقد تفاعل الوعي الفردي للروائي مع هذا التحول بأنماط مختلفة من التعبير، استدعت الکشف عنها، واستند البحث على منهج النقد الثقافي وآلياته الإجرائية لتحليل بعض النماذج الروائية التي أنتجت في حقبتين للمؤلف نفسه، وقد انتهى البحث بخاتمة تضم أهم النتائج، والتي منها: أن النسق الثقافي الاجتماعي قد يتعرض لنوع من التغير والتحول بفعل التراکم الزمني، وتعاقب الأجيال، وهو ما يفسر التصادم الذي قد يحدث بين الوعي الفردي لجيل معين، والوعي الجمعي السائد، داخل المجتمع الواحد. Abstract The research deals with the study of the sociometric transformation as it appeared in the experience of writing fiction for a generation of writers known critically as the generation of the sixties, and the creativity of some of them continued into the millennium. Their novels reflected social transformations in Egyptian society in the new millennium, such as the transformation of the value system, and the Egyptian village community. The individual consciousness of the novelist interacted with this shift with different styles of expression, which required disclosure. The research was based on the method of cultural criticism and its procedural mechanisms to analyze some fictional models that were produced in two eras by the same author. The research ended with a conclusion that includes the most important results, including: that the social cultural paradigm may be subject to some kind of change and transformation due to the accumulation of time and the succession of generations, which explains the collision that may occur between the individual consciousness of a particular generation and the prevailing collective consciousness within the same society.

Introduction. The relevance of this research is due to the need to identify predictors of implementation of negative creative ideas in future teachers’ activity. The research purpose is to analyze the link between the level of antisocial creativity and values of two levels: as standardized ideals and individual priorities. Materials and methods. The study was conducted at the Moscow City Pedagogical University and in the State-Funded Educational Institution “Omsk State Pedagogical University” (N=109) using the following methods: a questionnaire “Behavioral Features of Antisocial Creativity” (by M. Ranko as adapted by N.V. Meshkova, S.N. Enikolopova, O.V. Mitina and others) and the Basic Individual Values Scale by Sh. Schwartz. Student’s t-test was conducted to compare data in each group and two polar (contrast) groups. Research results. It was revealed that with a similar set of values, both standardized ideals and individual priorities, among female students with a high level of antisocial creativity, at the level of standardized ideals, the value of “tradition” is the most insignificant value (2.56), among female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – “power” (3.1), the most significant value in both groups is the value of “independence” (5.41 and 5.29). At the level of values as individual priorities among students with a high level of antisocial creativity, the most significant value is “hedonism” (2.92), the most insignificant one is “tradition” (0.72); among students with a low level of antisocial creativity, the most significant value is “independence” (2.7), the most insignificant one is “power” (0.58). Female students of pedagogical specialties with a high level of antisocial creativity have significantly lower values related to social focus (the value of tradition – 2.56, while in the group of students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 3.56; temp = 2.2, p≤0.05; safety – 4.36, in the group of students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 5.05, temp = 2.3, p≤0.05), and the values of personal focus are significantly higher (“power” – 1.85, in the group of female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 0.58; temp = 2.9, p≤0.05). At the level of values, both standardized ideals and individual priorities among female students with a high level of antisocial creativity, the most insignificant values are the values of social focus – “tradition”, among female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – an individual focus on “power”. Research prospects. The identification of personal predictors of antisocial creativity in future teachers, both female and male students, as well as environmental factors contributing to the manifestation and overcoming of antisocial creativity in the pedagogical activity, is of particular importance.

U ovom radu istražiti ćemo umjetnost grafita, njihove korijene, tehnike, materijale i slično. Biti će prikazane dvije strane grafita, ona koju publika smatra vandalizmom i ona koju ista ta publika počinje smatrati umjetnošću. Ukratko ćemo objasniti široku definiciju ove umjetnosti, njezine grane, te događaje koji su trajno promijenili uličnu umjetnost. U radu će biti razjašnjeno tko je publika u ovoj umjetnosti, te koje se poruke prenose putem grafitne umjetnosti istoj toj publici. Govoriti ćemo o poziciji ulične umjetnosti u kulturi, te položaju grafita kao umjetnosti u kulturi danas. Također, dotaći ćemo se problematike odnosa umjetnosti grafita s dominantnom estetikom i politikom, uz koje vežemo i sustave vrijednosti koji variraju od estetike do estetike. Na kraju razjasniti ćemo pitanje mogu li grafiti i ulična umjetnost postati visoka umjetnost. In this paper we will explore the art of graffiti, its roots, techniques, materials and the like. Two sides of graffiti will be shown, the one that the audience considers vandalism and the one that the same audience begins to consider art. We will briefly explain the broad definition of this art, its branches, and the events that permanently changed street art. The paper will clarify who the audience is in this art, and what messages are conveyed through graffiti art to the same audience. We will talk about the position of street art in culture, and the position of graffiti as art in culture today. Also, we will touch on the issue of the relationship between graffiti art and dominant aesthetics and politics, to which we also associate value systems that vary from aesthetic to aesthetic. Finally, we will clarify the question of whether graffiti and street art can become high art.

Sociálna spravodlivosť ako kľúčová hodnota sociálnej politiky predstavuje neoddeliteľnú súčasť systému sociálneho zabezpečenia každého demokratického aprávneho štátu Západnej civilizácie. Vedecká monografia sa zameriava na sociálnu spravodlivosť vstarobnom dôchodkovom systéme Slovenskej republiky včasovom diapazóne 2004 - 2022.

Sexual and gender identity is a fundamental part of one’s overall identity and plays an important role in human functioning. Questioning one’s sexuality associated with low level of self-concept clarity, certainty, consistency and stability with regard to the individual’s beliefs about oneself, can affect their sense of coherence and value system. The aim of the study was to compare heterosexual and cisgender people with non-heteronormative and non-cisgender people regarding their attitudes and the way they perceive significant personal values. It was assumed that non-heterosexual and non-cisgender individuals would have lower self-concept clarity and lower sense of coherence, and that among them such values as openness to change and transcending Self would be dominant. The study was conducted on a group of 337 individuals aged 18 to 30. The participants filled out four self-report online questionnaires. Self-concept clarity was found to be connected with a greater tendency to question one’s sexual and gender identity. The results also indicate differences between heterosexual/cisgender participants and non-heterosexual/non-cisgender participants in terms of the degree of self-concept clarity and sense of coherence. Non-heteronormative and cisgender individuals show a greater tendency to question their identity and have lower self-concept clarity, which may lower their sense of coherence.

Despite the fact that the daily problems that generate intergenerational relations, this is not given significant attention in the scientific community or in public administration. Generational management as a special phenomenon can serve as a basis for reviewing some of the problems of the modern system of public service, understanding reality, and making new decisions. As part of the research project, a survey was conducted with the participation of experts, the results of which were supported by additional methods of qualitative analysis. The article considers and formulates the issues of "turnover" in the civil service, conflicts in the team, and the value system of civil servants.

The article substantiates the necessity to research the axiological problems of legal psychology and shows the results of a theoretical study of the value-related aspect of legal psychology. These results advocate the idea of using a systemic approach in values analysis. It is maintained that in order to resolve the axiological problems of legal psychology by way of systematization of its values what's needed is a return to the philosophical foundations of cognition, ontology, dialectics, logic, the material basis of psyche. At the same time, it is believed that not every systemic approach can cope with value systematization in legal psychology. As a doctrinal alternative, philosophy and psychology develop and offer an ontological system of ethical categories to be the cornerstone of natural and positive law. This system relies on the ontological criteria and is a matrix (grid) of fundamental knowledge at the categorial level. The ontological matrix of axiological categories of ethics (the foundations of law) must manifest itself in psychological concepts and must represent value orientations for legal psychology, making it possible for one to develop within the framework of scientific cognition, without losing touch with the fundamentals of law and ethics.

Рад одређује значај и допринос аксиолошки фундиране моралне филозофије Николаја Хартмана. Хартман намјерава превазићи незадовољавајуће једностране и сукобљене позиције које су вијековима оптерећивале етичку теорију помирењем Ничеовог изазова превредновања вриједности са Кантовим априорним дужностима користећи се материјално-вриједносном етиком Макса Шелера. Феноменолошком анализом моралног искуства Хартман жели изградити етику на објективним аксиолошким темељима. Етику као дисциплину конципира подједнако контемплативно као и нормативно. Својим истраживањем етика мора у пуноћи и разноврсности обухватити све сфере духа који јој доносе материјала. Јединство етике у плуралитету морала налази у њеној аксиолошкој одређености. Вриједности спознајемо априорно емотивистички и оне постоје попут Платонових идеја. Нову скалу вриједности дијели на: фундаменталне вриједности (елементарне вриједности и вриједности добра), основне моралне вриједности (добро, племенито, чистота, обиље искуства), специфичне моралне вриједности или врлине груписане у три етоса како су историјски биле откриване (античким, средњовјековним и модерним етосом). Однос вриједности, по узору на природне науке, уређује законима (слојева и фундирања, супротности и комплементарности, висине и јачине вриједности). Хартман нам нуди упечатљиву картографију вриједносног неба. На крају, поред антиномија које Хартманова филозофија свакако садржи, можемо закључити да је његов допринос аксиологији и етици од суштинског значаја. Савремена етичка теорија која заборавља Хартманову мисао озбиљно је због тога осујећена у својим резултатима.

Background/purpose: The study aim was to develop a model for predicting patients with emergency medical service (EMS) witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: We used fire-based EMS data from Taipei city to develop the prediction model. Patients included in this study were those who were initially alive, non-traumatic, and age ≧20 years. Data were extracted from electronic records of ambulance run sheets and an Utstein-style OHCA registry. The primary outcome (EMS-witnessed OHCA) was defined as cardiac arrest occurring during the service of emergency medical technicians before arrival at a receiving hospital. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the Hosmer–Lemeshow (HL) test were used to examine discrimination and calibration. The point value system with Youden's J Index was used to find the optimal cut-off value. Results: From 2011 to 2015, a total of 252,771 patients were included. Of them, 660 (0.26%) were EMS-witnessed OHCA. The model, including the predictors of male gender, respiratory rate≦10 cycles/min, heart rate

All participants in educational relations are worried about the problem how to improve the quality of education, with everyone representing it through the prism of their value system. In this connection there is a need to structure these representations. It is necessary to begin with bringing into a unified system the representations of education direct customers – students. The aim of our article is to analyze how pedagogical university students perceive the quality of their education. On the basis of the survey involving 117 respondents from Elabuga Institute of Kazan Federal University (Elabuga, Republic of Tatarstan) and the Northeast Federal University named after M.K. Ammosov (Yakutsk, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)) we analyzed such criteria as quality of teaching, quality of learning, formation of universal competencies, personal qualities necessary for modern teachers and the creation of appropriate conditions by a university (digitalization of the educational environment, academic mobility) for students’ self-development. The t-Student criterion was used to determine the differences between the respondents’ competencies, knowledge, abilities, skills and qualities that they had possessed before entering the university and those that were formed during the university study. The obtained data indicate a high assessment of the quality of education by the students. The results also showed the educational process strong and weak points that students of the two federal universities face. Thus, focusing on one of the customers’ (students’) views will allow teachers to manage the educational process effectively and improve its quality.

Looking back at the history of South Korea, we see that it is an East Asian state, the basis of the Confucian civilization. While the men's community was the main workers, the women's community was exclusively engaged in the household. During the process of globalization, many changes occurred in Korean society, and one of these changes directly influenced the emergence of the modern term «sampo generation». The concept of the Sampo generation is part of the concept of «N-po» and is currently the most intensively widespread trend in society among representatives of the adolescent and middle age.

The author made an attempt to study the role of the descendants of the nobility in the new socio-economic and political realities of Russia at the end of the XX - first decades of the XXI century. The author focuses on the processes of recreation and subsequent activities of noble societies. The basis of the source base was a series of interviews with the descendants of the nobility living in the territory of the Russian Federation and in the countries of the post-Soviet space. The research identified the stages of development of the noble organizations, the main aspects of their activities. A comparative analysis was carried out with the pre-revolutionary noble corporate organization, which made it possible to characterize the main ideals of this social group and to make a comparative analysis with the value system of the class of the pre-revolutionary period. The range of problems faced by noble societies in modern Russia is highlighted. The results of the study can be used to comprehensively characterize the activities of corporations of the nobility in Russia, as well as the activities of the descendants of the nobility in the modern world.
