Towards Modern Care and Education for Persons with visual Impairments in Poland: Elżbieta Róża Czacka (1876-1961) and Her Contribution to the Development of Typhlology-Religious Inspirations.

The aim of this study is to show the relationship between spirituality and the development of modern typhlology focused on supporting people with visual impairments. The text presents the silhouette of Mother Rose Czacka, the sources of her Catholic spirituality and the development of typhlological thought related to her, as well as Dzieło Lasek, which is an emanation of these relationships. The aim of this study is to show the relationship between spirituality and the development of modern typhlology focused on supporting people with visual impairments. These relationships are reflected in the activity of Blessed Rose Czacka (1876-1961) that focused on developing a model of education and care for people with visual impairments in Poland in the first half of the twentieth century. Her religious motivations related to the establishment of the Franciscan Congregation of the Servants of the Cross were closely related to her development of the scientific and organisational foundations for the system of support for people with visual impairments in Poland at that time. The comprehensive support centre established by her, which comprised education and care for people with visual impairments in Poland in 1910 called Dzieło Lasek [eng. The work of Laski], was a pioneer, and the methods of work developed in this facility have been improved over time and provide the basis of the activities of the centre to this day. This is a great example of a religiously inspired work to help people with disabilities. The text presents the silhouette of Mother Rose Czacka, the sources of her Catholic spirituality and the development of typhlological thought related to her, as well as Dzieło Lasek, which is an emanation of these relationships. The text uses desk research analysis, focusing on existing written materials and the analysis of texts devoted to the reception of Róza Czacka`s work. The main limitation of the study is a limited number of resources, restricted mainly to texts written in Polish. The theoretical assumptions and solutions proposed by Róża Czacka, despite her numerous connections with the European pedagogical thought of the first half of the twentieth century, have been scarcely discussed. On the other hand, Dzieło Lasek grew up in a specific cultural and historical context and the generalisation of the proposed solutions encounters specific limitations resulting from this fact. The text depicts examples of activities that benefit persons with visual impairments and are underpinned by religious motivations. Desk research analysis helped to describe the pioneering activity in Poland of Róża Elżbieta Czacka (1876-1961), a member of the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of the Servants of the Cross, a blessed of the Roman Catholic Church. As a precursor of Polish typhlology, Mother Czacka is the foundress of the Work of Laski, a comprehensive centre for the support and education of blind persons in operation until today. Róża Czacka's personal sight-loss experience and her profound spirituality that saw work with blind persons as a service to the Gospel, in combination with commitment and the ability to focus communities on major social problems, were the root cause of the empathetic support offered to blind persons.

The problem of periodization of the Russian cooperative movement of the late XIX – early XX centuries in the works of historians of the 2000s.

Based on the historiographical analysis of the studies of the 2000s devoted to the history of various aspects of the Russian cooperative movement of the pre-revolutionary period, the authors' approaches to determining the stages in the development of the movement and their key characteristics are considered. In the 2000s, more than 500 researches were published, revealing both all-Russian trends and regional peculiarities in the development of cooperation in the late XIX – early XX centuries. Based on the achievements of Russian historiography of previous periods and the accumulated broad factual basis, modern authors expand the thematic field of research based on the modernization approach also in the discourse of civil society, introducing documentary material of predominantly regional nature into scientific circulation. On the basis of the study of modern publications, the authors’ approaches to the periodization of cooperation are determined. It is established that in most regional works the problems of periodization are not considered as a scientific task, however, the author's approaches are obvious from the structure of the works and the explanation of the factors of development of cooperation. Using the example of regional documentary material, the authors specify the periodization, based on the specifics of the socio-economic and socio-political development of the region under study. Modern authors propose different criteria for periodization and, when analyzing the process of cooperative construction on the example of certain types of cooperation and the activities of cooperative organizations as well as in the framework of regional studies, they also focus on the time of the origin of the movement, on the starting points of quantitative growth of cooperative organizations and strengthening their legal and organizational foundations.

Landasan Kurikulum Indonesia dalam Sistem Pendidikan dengan Studi Literatur

The curriculum is a main element in education that influences all educational activities. With its very important strategic role, curriculum development must be carried out carefully and not haphazardly. This process requires a solid foundation, supported by thorough research and deep thinking. This research aims to understand the foundations of curriculum development in Indonesia. In general, four foundations will be discussed in this study, namely the philosophical foundation, psychological foundation, sociological foundation, and organizational foundation. The method used is literature study. This research is a type of study that collects data from literature. The data collection technique in this research is documentation, which involves searching for written sources that contain information on the discussed topic. Primary data is obtained from reading references such as books, journals, and websites. Philosophical foundations, philosophical views are very much needed in education, especially in determining the direction and goals of education.The sociological foundation directs the study of the curriculum in relation to society, culture, and the development of knowledge. The organizational foundation pertains to the organization of material, which includes the scope of the material and the arrangement of each material, as well as the material as a whole, organized and arranged systematically according to the phases of physical-psychological growth and development of the learners based on in-depth and sufficiently comprehensive thinking. Curriculum developers must consider the psychological condition of individuals, in this case, the students, especially in designing and implementing the curriculum so that educational goals can be achieved optimally. Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that there are four foundations for curriculum development, which include the philosophical foundation, sociological foundation, organizational foundation, and psychological foundation.

Теоретико-методологічні засади взаємодії державного та громадського секторів у реалізації природоохоронних заходів в умовах цифровізації

The article examines the current state of the theoretical, methodological and organizational foundations of interaction between the bodies of state supervision (control) in the field of environmental protection and civil society institutions in the course of implementation of environmental protection measures. It is established that the study of environmental protection functions of public authorities, local self-government bodies, civil society institutions and business should be considered through the prism of their systematic interaction, since the implementation of such an approach ensures a balance between the economic and environmental directions of the State's development. The author presents the successful experience of foreign countries in terms of involving a wide range of civil society representatives in the implementation of environmental protection measures with the help of appropriate digital tools, which provides a qualitatively new level of convenience and speed of access to environmental information, and also provides new opportunities for civil society to influence the processes of making public administration decisions. The author analyzes the current regulatory framework for ensuring the functioning of the state supervision (control) bodies in the field of environmental protection in terms of the possibilities of interaction of these bodies with other state institutions, non-governmental environmental organizations and local self-government bodies and identifies the factors that negatively affect the effectiveness of joint work on the preservation and reproduction of the country's natural resource potential. Attention is focused on the need to ensure transparency and timely informing the population about the immediate prospects and expected results of changes in the field of environmental protection as a result of the introduction of digital innovations. The author suggests ways to improve existing approaches to the creation and implementation of innovations in the public sector by using the successful experience of conducting information and popularization campaigns in other industries

Інститут вищої освіти: перша чверть століття

The article presents the main conceptual and organizational foundations of the Institute of Higher Education of the National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine. The main circumstances and concrete efforts to implement the plan for the creation and development of this Institute have been witnessed from the first person. The creation of the Institute of Higher Education was supposed to contribute to the fulfillment of such basic tasks of higher education. First, the development of higher education stimulated the formation of a young Ukrainian state, ensured the establishment of norms and values characteristic of a democratic state, and the development of the best qualities of human capital in Ukraine. Secondly, it was necessary to carry out radical changes in the entire system of higher education of Ukraine, to create a coherent national and modern system of higher education, which involved not only the implementation of changes at the national level, but also a significant restructuring of the universities themselves. Thirdly, the reform of higher education should have taken into account modern civilizational changes that necessitated transformational processes in the global university environment, such as the development of student-centeredness, the widespread introduction of new digital learning technologies, deeper integration into globalization processes, etc. Fourthly, despite the heated debate in political circles in the first years of Ukraine’s independence regarding the geopolitical orientations of the country’s development, more and more citizens became supporters of European integration, which was a natural, but difficult to implement, result of Ukraine’s accession to the Bologna process. The main achievements of the Institute of Higher Education in the conceptualization and instrumentalization of these and other tasks are described. Renewed on this basis, the higher education of Ukraine should become a driving force of society, capable of providing an innovative breakthrough in the scientific-technological, industrial-economic, social-humanitarian spheres.

Innovative approaches to reforming the pension insurance system of Ukraine: background of foreign countries

One of the most important tasks for any civilized state is to care for the elderly. The collection of various forms of financial support for individuals who have reached the retirement age set by law or have lost their ability to work through centralized insurance or budgetary funds has existed for a long time. This led to the creation of a pension insurance system covering all citizens. The primary goal of such a system is to prevent poverty due to the loss of working ability due to age. Reforming the domestic pension system has been ongoing for more than 20 years. However, it has not yet ensured the implementation of a three-pillar pension system in Ukraine. This requires a more detailed study of the successful experiences of other countries in this field. This is of particular importance in light of the upcoming post-war reconstruction of our country. All sectors of the economy will undergo reconstruction, and it seems entirely likely that radically new paths for rebuilding will be considered, especially for the population’s social insurance system. Modern pension insurance systems operating in different countries are not alike [1]. They differ in principles and organizational foundations of functioning, coverage of participants, taxation methods and rules governing pension contributions and payments. Each pension system depends on the level and stability of the country’s economic development, traditions, social security experience, labor motivation system, tax, and labor legislation. The article is dedicated to analyzing pension systems in industrially developed countries. Studying the experience of such countries is important for Ukraine due to the necessity of creating an efficient national pension system. The article explores the current challenges and opportunities for reforming Ukraine’s pension insurance system using innovative approaches. Particular attention is paid to analyzing the experiences of foreign countries that have successfully reformed their pension systems and introduced modern pension management methods. In light of rapid demographic aging and increasing financial pressure on pension funds, the article justifies the need to transition to a multi-tiered pension insurance system.

The Role of Patient Organizations in Shaping Research, Health Policies, and Health Services for Rare Genetic Diseases: The Dutch Experience.

In 2023, the genetics scientific community celebrated two special anniversaries: the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA was published in 1953 and in 2003 the Human Genome Project was declared completed and made publicly available. To this day, genetics and genomics research is continuing to evolve at high pace and is identifying a steadily increasing number of genes as causal for distinct genetic diseases. The success story of genetics and genomics would not be complete without taking due account of the role of patient advocacy organizations in this process. This paper is based on the personal narrative (oral history) of a father whose daughter was born with a rare genetic disease (RGD) in the 1960s. The first-hand experience of living as a family with an RGD in those days made him a leading pioneer not only in the foundation of patient organizations at national, pan-European, and international levels but also in the development of multi-stakeholder co-operation and networking. Today, patient advocacy organizations play an active role in shaping health and research policies at national, EU, and international levels to ensure that their needs in regard to advancing RGD diagnostics, care, and treatment are addressed.

Optimized ensemble deep learning for predictive analysis of student achievement.

Education is essential for individuals to lead fulfilling lives and attain greatness by enhancing their value. It improves self-assurance and enables individuals to navigate the complexities of modern society effectively. Despite the obstacles it faces, education continues to develop. The objective of numerous pedagogical approaches is to enhance academic performance. The development of technology, especially artificial intelligence, has caused a significant change in learning. This has made instructional materials available anytime and wherever easily accessible. Higher education institutions are adding technology to conventional teaching strategies to improve learning. This work presents an innovative approach to student performance prediction in educational settings. The strategy combines the DistilBERT with LSTM (DBTM) hybrid approach with the Spotted Hyena Optimizer (SHO) to change parameters. Regarding accuracy, log loss, and execution time, the model significantly improved over earlier models. The challenges presented by the increasing volume of data in graduate and postgraduate programs are effectively addressed by the proposed method. It produces exceptional performance metrics, including a 15-25% decrease in processing time through optimization, 98.7% accuracy, and 0.03% log loss. This work additionally demonstrates the effectiveness of DBTM-SHO in administering extensive datasets and makes an important improvement to educational data mining. It provides a robust foundation for organizations facing the challenges of evaluating student achievement in the era of vast data.

Concert traditions of choral conducting in China in the second half of the 20th – early 21st century

Statement of the problem. Historically, choral performance and conducting in China got extraordinary development in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. But the artistic achievements of Chinese choral performance, the formation of organizational foundations and concert traditions of leading choral groups, the creative manner and achievements of outstanding conductors have not received adequate coverage and generalization in scientific literature. Only since the beginning of the 21st century, some attention of musicologists has been paid to conducting and choral practice and education (Ma Xu, A. Rastrygina, Liu Zhenyan), the activities of regional choral groups (Gui Junjie), the work of some outstanding artists and their groups (Tang Fang). The insufficient research of the stated problem actualizes the topic of the proposed article. Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. The scientific novelty is due to the purpose of the article – to highlight the creative achievements of outstanding choral conductors and collectives, to reveal the formation of organizational foundations and concert traditions of Chinese choral art of the second half of the 20th – beginning of the 21st century, which did not become the subject of a separate study. A complex of scientific methods and approaches was used, the main of which are historical and cultural (for identification of the features of development, specifics, stylistics and forms of concert performance), historical and biographical (for covering the creative path of outstanding Chinese choral conductors and groups), musicological (analysis of individual performance style, artistic interpretation, repertoire policy), generalization (historical assessment of concert performance achievements of choral art in China). Research results and conclusion. A review of the development of choral art in China in the second half of the 20th – beginning of the 21st century proved that until the 1980s, the features of its development were determined by the ideology and policy of the Communist Party. It was found that the concert activity of the leading Chinese choirs is characterized by a peculiar manner of performance. The concert programs were analyzed, and it was found that the basis of the repertoire of most choirs are plays by Chinese composers and arrangements of songs of various peoples of China. Works of the world repertoire are mainly performed by Chinese groups during participation in international events. Since the 1990s, the organization of national and international choral competitions and festivals has played a significant role in the development of concert traditions and the spread of choral concert activities in China. At the beginning of the 21st century, the expressiveness of the musical component has been enhanced by theatrical performance. With the spread of Internet networks and computer technologies, new virtual forms of choral concert work are being introduced.

Analisis Perencanaan Pembangunan Jaringan Fiber Optik pada Pemerintahan Kota Palembang

To communicate and share data, the Palembang city government's regional apparatus work unit (SKPD) office requires an immediate internet connection. The SKPD office is still using various internet service providers (ISPs) at this time, so any network issues won't be fixed immediately by the previous ISP. To resolve this issue, a separate network infrastructure centered in the Palembang mayor's office is required. The Palembang city government will be able to control the network because the SKPD offices will be able to communicate with one another and share data as a result of this.. The organization foundation that will be utilized is fiber optics, since fiber optics have a high web access speed, and have a steady sign so information move will be quicker, more successful and furthermore productive. This study employs the NDLC method, which is a method for building a computer network
