Neo-liberal Narratives or Neo-orientalism: Reflections from Post-9/11 American Novel on Arab Woman

This study argues for an articulation of ‘neo-orientalism’ in order to situate neoliberal agendas (ideology) as an expression of neo-orientalist discourse in a globalized world. Analysis explores these attitudes on the status of Arab Muslim woman by referring to The Dawn by Homa Pourasgari (2009), which extensively elaborates on the dichotomous comparison between the oppressive East and the neoliberal West and how that is reflected in the life of Arab woman. This study on the status of Arab woman in Islam reflects on narrative writers’ attitudes related to neoliberal ideology, religion, and geo-politics and to prove the necessity for an analysis based on conventional selection of subject matter. Focusing on neoliberal thought, the study details how neoliberal ideology operates from above, akin to a form of military intervention, and below, attracting minds and hearts, through a full-blown cultural program to exercise neoliberal influence, while penalizing societies that refuse to participate. Therefore, neo-orientalist discourse is governed by the brutal instrumentalist tools of liberalization, democratization, and modernity. Neo-orientalist discourse implements these terms through the terminology of neoliberal logic; it is a form of convergent rhetoric that holds practices and discourses of both to establish a ground for geo-political and cultural dominance.

Innovative cultural care training: the impact of flipped classroom methods on critical cultural competencies in psychiatric nursing: a quasi-experimental study

IntroductionHealthcare systems are encountering a growing number of diverse and multicultural clients due to globalization and migration. To effectively address the challenges associated with cross-cultural interactions, nurses require a comprehensive framework of critical cultural competencies. One potential approach to enhancing these competencies in mental health care settings is to use innovative methods such as the flipped classroom in cultural care training programs. This study evaluated the effect of using the flipped classroom method in cultural care training on the critical cultural competencies of nurses working in a psychiatric hospital.MethodsThis quasi-experimental study involved 70 nurses working in a psychiatric hospital affiliated with the Kerman University of Medical Sciences in southeastern Iran. Through random sampling, the nurses were allocated into two groups of intervention (n = 35) and control (n = 35). The intervention group participated in a cultural care training program using the flipped classroom method, which consisted of four sessions conducted over a four-week period. To evaluate the nurses’ critical cultural competence, the Almutairi’s Critical Cultural Competence Scale was administered before the training and again one month later.ResultsThe study findings indicated no significant differences in the scores of critical cultural competencies between the intervention group (4.53 ± 0.64) and the control group (4.73 ± 0.42) during the pre-test stage (t = 1.53, p = 0.13). Both groups had a similar perception of critical cultural competencies, which was not particularly positive. However, in the posttest stage, the intervention group (5.33 ± 0.49) demonstrated a significant increase in critical cultural competencies compared to the control group (4.75 ± 0.44) (t = 5.14, p = 0.001).ConclusionThe study results indicated that the use of the flipped classroom method in the cultural care training program effectively enhanced the critical cultural competencies of nurses. Given the importance of cultural care in both physical and psychiatric care settings for multicultural clients, it is crucial for nurses to receive ongoing in-service education that utilizes innovative and active methods such as the flipped classroom.

Stars, Anti-Stars, Anti-Star-Stars

The phenomenon of stars and celebrities in media cultures – and especially in popular music cultures – seems to be omnipresent. At the same time, there is an astounding lack of analysis and research on these media personalities and personas, and international celebrity studies only recently a developing new field. Similarly, these kinds of observations are still very rare especially in German sociology as well as communication, media, culture and popular music studies. In this article, I therefore want to concentrate on the foundations of studying stars and celebrities within the attention economies by undertaking a theoretical transmedia-cultural framing of media personas and suggesting a typology. This ensuing typology of stars, anti-stars, and anti-star stars – especially within popular music cultures – demonstrates how stars and celebrities and their quantities and qualities of success and peer-group specific values coming form programs of (media and music) culture can serve as persona-seismographs of socio-cultural change between tradition and innovation.

Through a cross-cultural analysis, researchers found a significant positive relationship between the cultural intelligence of hotel employees and guest satisfaction levels. Specifically, higher levels of cultural intelligence among employees were associated with increased guest satisfaction, suggesting that employees who possess a better understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures are better equipped to meet the needs and preferences of guests from various backgrounds. This highlights the importance of fostering cultural intelligence among hotel staff to enhance overall guest experiences and satisfaction in the hospitality industry. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social exchange theory, service climate theory and resource-based view theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the relationship between cultural intelligence of hotel employees and guest satisfaction, a cross-cultural study in Kenya. Hospitality organizations should prioritize the integration of cultural intelligence training programs into their employee development initiatives. These programs should not only focus on enhancing employees' cultural knowledge but also emphasize the development of cultural mindfulness and adaptability skills. Government bodies and industry associations should advocate for the inclusion of cultural intelligence training requirements within the accreditation and certification standards for hospitality professionals.

Theoretical foundations of development and implementation of event projects for trade enterprises

The article is devoted to analyzing the essence of the concept of «event» and improving its classification and substantiation of the principles of its implementation through the stages of development of an event for trade enterprises. A morphological analysis of the concept of «event» is carried out by allocating the optimal definition. A primary classification of the concept of «event» (by planning) is proposed, where the planned event is defined, which is the subject of the study of event management. They require setup, guidance, managers, and a specific time. An unplanned event is an accident, natural disaster, and other similar events. The classification of events by size and scale has been improved, dividing them into mega, business cards, central, and local events. The main mistakes that are made when organizing an event are identified, which include the fact that the event is created only in order to hold it and then be proud, but at the same time, the event does not cover the target audience at all, or is devoid of meaningful meaning for it; And also when creating an event, the company is so fixated on its importance that it forgets about the interests of consumers. It is determined that the development of the event includes the definition of its structure, which includes planning meetings, the work of sections, the cultural program, and the duration of each stage. The second step is to choose the time and place of the event, which should consider the target audience, season, weather conditions, and parallel events because the wrong choice can affect attendance. As the final document, the event scenario should detail all aspects of the organization. The third stage involves the development of content and script, where all elements should be harmoniously combined. The role of information support in the event management of projects is outlined, outlining the need to inform the audience in advance about the event through various channels, depending on its format and scale. Keywords: event, events, technologies, event management, event project.

Current Global Occurrence of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) Infections in Hospitalized Patients: A Literature Review

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global issue. One of the primary resistance mechanisms is the ability of microbes to deactivate antimicrobial drugs through the production of expanded-spectrum β-lactamases enzymes (ESBL), such as carbapenemases. Among the pathogens associated with multidrug resistance, Klebsiella pneumoniae has a high frequency, particularly in hospital settings. This study presents a narrative review of the literature from the scientific databases of the National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and the Cochrane Library on the occurrence of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) infections in hospitalized patients, identifying current studies that may contribute to understand the spread of resistant bacteria. The review was conducted in September 2023 with the aim of summarizing evidence. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, and 20 articles were included, covering the continents of the America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, to select the most recent studies about CRKP. In the studies analyzed, nosocomial isolates predominantly originated from sputum samples, followed by urine and blood. Molecular analysis revealed that most microorganisms exhibiting resistance to carbapenems harbored the blaKPC, blaNDM, and blaOXA-48 genes. However, there is epidemiological variation among continents, underscoring the need for more knowledge about genetic diversity and the implementation of active surveillance culture programs to facilitate prompt action with appropriate therapy and minimal patient risk. These findings indicate a necessity for heightened vigilance by hospital infection control committees to prevent potential spread and outbreaks of bacteria carrying carbapenem resistance genes.

Evolution of development and implementation of technological innovations in the activities of public libraries in Ukraine

The study of the evolution of development and implementation of technological innovations in the activities of Ukrainian public libraries is relevant in view of the growing role of information and knowledge in society, changing user needs, and the need to increase the competitiveness of libraries. The purpose of the study is to analyse the stages of introducing technological innovations into the work of libraries and the impact of new digital technologies on the services provided by libraries. The study used such methods as analysis, generalisation, explanation, and classification. A review of methods and stages of technological innovations was conducted, and articles by contemporary scientists and researchers who dealt with the issues of library technological innovations were analysed. The impact and prospects of the latest technologies in the work of libraries were investigated. The introduction of technologies raises several ethical issues, such as data privacy, algorithm bias, and the impact on freedom of speech. Technological progress opens up great opportunities for libraries. Artificial intelligence can automate routine tasks, improve information retrieval, and personalise services for users. Virtual and augmented reality will allow the creation of interactive educational and cultural programs, conducting virtual tours of libraries and museums. Blockchain can provide secure and transparent data management, as well as protect copyrights. Technological progress has expanded access to information resources beyond the physical walls of the library. E-books, online databases, and digital archives have made vast collections remotely accessible, especially valuable in geographically dispersed regions. Modern trends in the implementation of technological innovations in the activities of Ukrainian public libraries include the use of artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and blockchain. This research aims to help Ukrainian libraries successfully implement technological innovations to better serve their users and meet the needs of society in the digital age

Relevance of Lev Karsavin’s Ideas on State Cultural Policy

The article substantiates the expediency of using domestic philosophical heritage in the development of concepts and other normative documents of Russia’s cultural policy in the current situation. At present, Russian society has gained an understanding of the need to abandon the strategy of catch-up modernization and to implement socio-cultural development on the ways of deepening the country’s traditional spiritual values and its own historical vision of the multipolarity of the world. The ideas of the Russian religious philosopher L.P. Karsavin concerning such fundamental aspects of cultural policy as the peculiarities of the development of state ideology, the design of culture and state cultural programmes, the vocabulary and language of cultural studies are considered. Special attention is paid to Karsavin’s understanding of Russian culture as having Orthodox origins and developing on the basis of Orthodoxy. Attention is drawn to the importance of ensuring the unifying and living, creative character of Russian culture, the conditions of equality of different cultures and, at the same time, the presence of a hierarchy of interpenetrating cultural spheres. The development of some of L.P. Karsavin’s ideas by his followers is outlined, including the need to clarify the Christian meaning of atheism and to overcome the “irreconcilable” antagonism between religious and atheistic worldviews. The study outlines a line of enrichment of cultural theory with little-known works by L.P. Karsavin and A.A. Vaneev, which, according to the authors of the article, opens prospects for further development of new approaches to understanding the essence of cultural policy.
