Assessing the influence of business media in St. Petersburg on public perception of gender relations in the context of legal values

Modern society is characterized by active transformations in the field of gender relations, which is reflected in various social institutions, including the media. The object of the study is the influence of business media on public opinion and perception of gender issues. Subject of the study: value guidelines in articles on gender issues. In this context, the question of how the business media of St. Petersburg influence the public understanding of gender relations in the context of key legal values, such as equality and justice, is of particular relevance. Objective of the study: using a comprehensive content analysis, including qualitative and quantitative research, to determine the place of articles on gender issues in the materials of the regional business journal "Delovoy Peterburg". Using the content analysis method, a qualitative study was conducted and primary data on the representation of women in the regional business publication in 2023-2024 were presented. The results obtained indicate that gender issues are gradually entering the information agenda; we can talk about the phenomenon of editorial gender policy. Content analysis of publications of the business publication Delovoy Peterburg showed that the number of articles written by women and men is balanced. However, analysis of expert opinions presented in the publications showed a significant preponderance of comments by men over women (72 versus 22). This “imbalance” of expert opinions can contribute to the preservation of gender stereotypes and limitation of career opportunities for women. Analysis of article headlines on gender topics revealed the presence of certain gender stereotypes and emphasis on gender inequality, which hinders the formation of a culture of gender literacy. In the future, attention to the topic of gender equality on the part of business media has the potential to transform gender stereotypes.

Policy Options for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the MENA Region through the Effective Implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region faces a complex set of challenges, including political instability, economic disparities, and environmental degradation. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in this region is paramount to ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for its diverse populations. Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) play a crucial role in addressing environmental issues, which are intertwined with many of the SDGs. This paper explored policy options that can help the MENA region make significant strides towards achieving the SDGs through the effective implementation of MEAs. To achieve this, the MENA region will be required to strengthen regional cooperation through the development and implementation of regional agreements that are tailored towards shared environmental issues, such as trans-boundary water management in the Nile River basin or tackling air pollution in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Strategies for the adoption of policies on the region’s prevalent issues such as drought and desertification, renewable energy transition, biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation will have to be negotiated, developed, strengthened, and implemented. The paper utilised a content analysis research approach in analysing selected international and regional MEAs. The paper highlights the challenges with the implementation of both international and regional MEAs, with a view to raising awareness on the shortcomings and challenges of implementation of these very important environmental treaties. Achieving the SDGs in the MENA region through the implementation of MEAs requires a coordinated effort amongst nations, international organisations, and civil society. By prioritising regional cooperation, sustainable resource management, renewable energy adoption, biodiversity conservation, climate action, waste management and education, the MENA region can make significant progress towards a more sustainable and prosperous future. These policy options offer a roadmap to address pressing environmental challenges whilst simultaneously advancing the broader agenda of sustainable development.

Silent boundaries: exploring the limits of legal confidentiality in Poland

ABSTRACT Legal confidentiality, an integral aspect of European legal culture and legal services, plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the trust and privacy of professional-client relationships. This study focuses on the multifaceted dimensions of legal secrecy, particularly within the context of commercial lawyers in the European legal services market, using Polish legal advisers as an exemplar. The research explores evolving attitudes, expectations, and perceptions of legal secrecy amidst dynamic legal changes and discrepancies in interpretations among lawyers, public authorities, and citizens. A comprehensive mixed-method approach was used, including surveys, structured in-depth interviews, content analysis, and desk research, to investigate the diverse facets of legal secrecy. Findings reveal that while legal secrecy remains highly esteemed, its interpretation varies significantly across national and EU laws and among stakeholders. There are a multitude of types of legal secrecy, creating confusion and opportunities for public authorities to breach confidentiality. The study underscores the critical need for standardisation and unification of legal secrecy across European countries to enhance cross-border legal services, streamline justice systems, and bolster citizen protection. It emphasises that despite legal and societal changes, the fundamental essence and importance of legal secrecy in upholding democracy, justice, and trust remain steadfast.

Depiction Of Moral Values In Indonesian English Junior High School Textbooks

Most language textbooks are analyzed by emphasizing cultural/multicultural content, gender stereotypes/representation, neoliberalism, and pedagogical representation. The role of language textbooks on moral and cultural values at various levels has been examined. However, moral values at the junior high school level are scarce. This study examined the moral values in junior high school English textbooks entitled “English for Nusantara” for grades 7 and 8 published by the Indonesian Education Standard, Curriculum, and Assessment Agency of the Ministry of Education Culture, Research and Higher Education within the independent curriculum. This research used a qualitative content analysis research design. This study adopted the Moral Foundations Theory Framework (MTF) Graham presented a set of moral principles such as care/harm, fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, and sanctity/degradation. The result showed that both the textbooks for grades 7 and 8 were similar representing more dominant moral values than bad values, with percentages of 95% and 59%, respectively. The other finding suggested that the textbooks did not integrate authority, loyalty, and fairness. The study implies incorporating stories that highlight moral values should be required to internalize ethical values and encourage students to do good things.

Design of Calligraphy Teaching Materials from the Perspective of Chinese Preschool Education-Anshan City Case Study

Background and Aim: The art of Chinese calligraphy is an important part of Chinese culture because of its artistic and aesthetic value. It originates from Chinese characters, which evolved from traditional symbols. Chinese characters have gone through three stages of development: image, borrowing, and echoing. Chinese characters have evolved from pictures and symbols to standardized forms such as ancient seal script, small seal script, official script, regular script, running script, and cursive script. Calligraphy is a special art originating from China. Children begin learning calligraphy at an early age, with some children as young as four or five practicing scribbling and writing. Before formal literacy education, children develop curiosity about words and engage in spontaneous writing. Learning calligraphy is ideal for preschoolers because it helps develop their creativity and improves their hand-eye coordination. Studies on the emergence of reading and writing in China have been conducted since the 1990s. These studies are based on the Western pinyin writing system and aim to examine the development of literacy skills in children. The goal is to explore the manifestation of reading and writing skills in children and their ability to develop these skills. This study aims to develop and design calligraphy teaching materials for preschool children in Anshan City, China, by incorporating cultural elements unique to the region. Materials and Methods: The study lasted 12 weeks, during which time 50 preschoolers were observed and their activities recorded using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including content and text analysis and user experience research methods. Valid data were generated for analysis. Results: The research suggests that introducing Spring Festival couplets in writing education can help preschool children understand regional culture and encourage them to learn. This can make a significant contribution to calligraphy education for preschool children, which has not been explored before. To improve the calligraphic ability and interest of preschool children, an innovative approach based on educational technology can be used to develop and design calligraphy teaching materials. The effectiveness and feasibility of these materials can be validated through their use in the learning of calligraphy for preschool children in Anshan City, providing new teaching tools for calligraphy education in the city. This can serve as a reference for calligraphy education for preschool children and promote innovation in the field. Conclusion: The study explored the current state of calligraphy art education for preschoolers in Anshan City. Results revealed that there are some issues such as lack of engaging content and teaching methods. Questionnaires and interviews showed that preschoolers are interested in calligraphy, but there is a need for better resources and teaching methods. An experiment was conducted in two kindergartens to compare a new calligraphy education model with traditional methods. Preliminary results suggest that the new model improved children's calligraphy knowledge, skills, interest, and creativity. However, further research is needed for more accurate findings. The conclusion suggests that calligraphy teaching materials for preschool children should take into account their cognitive development and educational needs.

Research on the Image of Chinese Rural Women Presented on Short Video Platform --Take Douyin as an Example

As one of the leading platforms in China, Douyin has allowed the underprivileged group of rural women to showcase themselves. While empowering them, it has also led to the imposition of various labels on them. This paper conducts an in-depth study of the representation of rural women through content analysis and other research methods. It analyzes the representation of rural women from the perspectives of the communicators and the audience, and explores how the Chinese government and the platform can improve this situation. Research has found that the transmitters, the rural women themselves, have diverse images. Some are diligent and hardworking, while others are passionate about traditional culture, breaking the stereotype of poverty and lack of education. The audience has shifted from having prejudices to getting closer and gaining a deeper understanding of the rural women's image through the Douyin platform. The writer suggests that rural women should learn more about new media knowledge and improve their new media skills. The Douyin platform should encourage high-quality content production and strengthen the supervision of inappropriate and low-quality content. The government should provide relevant support policies and strengthen education for rural women.

Didactic experiences in the public realm: AI, interactivity, and playfulness for empowering eco-change

ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) rapidly adapts to diverse audience engagement modes in Digital Arts, either interactive or non-interactive forms. These engagements create potential alliances for intelligent eco-didactic environments in the public realm. Studies show that interactivity positively affects the learning experience; hence, the coalition between AI and Digital Art has the potential to result in enhanced eco-art experiences. This collaboration could augment the eco-message and lead to behavior shift. This paper explores the interactive engagement modes in different art mediums to identify their eco-didactic potential. The study adopts a mixed methods approach, engaging with causal-comparative qualitative content analysis research. We collected secondary data from various mediums to define the characteristics of the engagement modes in eco-art, digital art, and AI artworks. Finally, we interviewed mixed-media artists to explore the technologies used in these art mediums, the different engagement modes they adopt, and eco-didactic possibilities. As a result, we found that incorporating aspects such as interactivity, coherence, aesthetics, playfulness, and meaning, can increase the impact of eco-didactic experiences. In addition, AI creates new possibilities for these experiences with its popularity and features such as real-time data utilization, personalization, and generative reciprocal dialogues which facilitate the understanding of complex environmental issues.

The Popularity of Live- stream Marketing in China

As an effective marketing strategy that has been widely used at low cost, live-stream marketing is getting popular across the global world. However, live-streaming marketing is extraordinarily popular in China, and it is difficult to catch on in other regions. This paper examines why live-streaming marketing is so prominent in China through content analysis and comparative research methods. The paper suggests explanations of its prominence from three perspectives: the functional diversity of media, the need for low-cost sales of sellers, and the potential sinking market of consumers in China. We also examine why live streaming marketing is unpopular in other regions from three angles: the discount strategies and habits of consumers in different regions, the difference in logistics system, and the severity of advertising law between China and other countries. This article sheds light on understanding the differences between live-stream marketing in China and abroad and the reasons for the differences.

The findings showed that, the keywords in the studies were used under six different categories: disciplines, technological concepts, academic community, learning experiences, core elements of education, and psychosocial factors (variables). Case studies were frequently employed, with middle school students serving as the main participants in sample groups ranging from 11–15, 16–20, and 201–250. Surveys, questionnaires, and observations were the primary methods of data collection, and descriptive analysis was commonly used for data analysis. STEM Clubs had sessions ranging from 2 to 16 weeks, with each session commonly lasting 60 to 120 min. The study purposes mainly focused on four themes: the impact of participation on various aspects such as attitudes towards STEM disciplines, career paths, STEM major selection, and academic achievement; the development and implementation of a sample STEM Club program, including challenges and limitations; the examination of students' experiences, perceptions, and factors influencing their involvement and choice of STEM majors; the identification of some aspects such as attitudinal effects and non-academic skills; and the comparison of STEM experiences between in-school and out-of-school settings. The study results mainly focused on three themes: the increase in various aspects such as academic achievement, STEM major choice, engagement in STEM clubs, identity, interest in STEM, collaboration-communication skills; the design of STEM Clubs, including sample implementations, design principles, challenges, and factors affecting their success and sustainability; and the identification of factors influencing participation, motivation, and barriers. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of STEM Clubs, leading the way for more targeted and informed future research endeavours.

Creating value by corporate anti‐corruption models: An empirical analysis in the Italian scenario

AbstractThis paper aims to identify the main issues and drivers of sustainable corporate governance to prevent corruption and increase companies' profitability by drafting corporate organizational models, highlighting exploratory evidence from the corporate sample. This document is based on two phases. First, the analysis aims to understand any link between adopting an organization, management, and control model according to Legislative Decree 8 June 2001, no.—231 and company performance. The survey concerned a sample of companies operating in the construction sector. We have therefore tried to demonstrate whether the companies in possession of the so‐called “231 model” present higher profitability than the same companies in the industry, which, on the contrary, have decided not to adopt this model. Second, the content analysis research method is applied to the corporate organizational models that have adhered to drafting the documents on the sample of companies. It was investigated whether companies operating in the construction sector, which adopt an organizational model, have higher performances than companies which do not adopt an organizational model in line with the Italian Legislative Decree 231 and whether there is a correlation between the adoption of a “complete” organizational model in line with Italian Legislative Decree 231 and company performance. This paper proposes the analysis of the sustainable compliance models of Italian companies to prevent corruption and profitability in their corporate governance and the path for future research on the topic.
