Transnational professionalism in child welfare in Germany

The field of child protection is closely interwoven with the national welfare state and its institutions. Nowadays, both the everyday lives of families and the professional work are shaped by transnational activities. This article presents the results of a study on child protection services in Germany working across national borders. Although regulated by international law, there are institutional and organisational gaps challenging professionals in this field. We can find processes of border setting and border crossing by professional social workers at the same time. Two ideal types of transnational situations are presented that reflect the variations of professional activities.

A generalization of prime ideals in MV-algebras

In this paper, we introduce a special type of prime ideals in [Formula: see text]-algebras. We define the concept of a [Formula: see text]-prime ideal, which is a proper ideal [Formula: see text] that preserves the property of being prime with respect to the ideal [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is not a subset of [Formula: see text], then we call the [Formula: see text]-prime ideal an [Formula: see text]-prime ideal. We investigate the relationships between these ideals and their connections to minimal prime ideals and maximal ideals. Additionally, we explore various properties such as extension, transitivity, meet, join, and annihilator. Finally, we study prime ideals in [Formula: see text]-algebras of continuous functions.

Genetic Variability in the Physicochemical Characteristics of Cultivated Coffea canephora Genotypes.

The objective of this study was to characterize the genetic divergence and selection gains of the physicochemical grains traits of 68 genotypes of C. canephora most cultivated in the Western Amazon. For this purpose, the following characteristics were evaluated over two harvests: aqueous extract, ash, acidity, pH, protein, ether extract, soluble solids, phenolic compounds, soluble sugars, reducing sugars, and non-reducing sugars. The genotype × measurement interaction effect was significant for all characteristics, with a predominant simple interaction, resulting in smaller changes in the ranking of genotypes. Out of a total of 45 genotypic correlation estimates, 8 were significant, of which 5 were related to acidity. The dispersion of the first two components associated with reference points shows that the genotypes BRS3193, AS1, AS2, AS3, N16, CA1, and AS7 were closest to the ideal type of higher performance. Selection for the main characteristic of soluble sugars resulted in estimates of genetic progress lower than those observed using selection indices. The genetic materials present high genetic diversity, allowing the selection of reference plants with high levels of sugars (BRS3193, AS3, GJ25, and LB30), proteins (BRS2357), lipids (GJ30), and phenolic compounds in their green beans (BRS3193) and high water solubility (AS2).

I “love” my country? The relationship between national narcissism and national knowledge overclaiming

BackgroundDoes demonstrating attachment to one’s nation necessarily imply that the individual is interested in the history of that nation and has a considerable knowledge about its origins? In the present paper, we examine how two forms of national identity (i.e., national narcissism vs. secure national identification) relate to individuals’ self-declared interest in their na-tion’s history. Additionally, we investigate whether this relationship can account for their tendency to overstate their knowledge.Participants and procedureIn two studies (Ntotal = 2137) conducted on a representative samples of adult Poles, we assessed two types of national identi-ty: self-declared interest in the nation’s history and objectively measured knowledge about the nation and its history through an overclaiming task.ResultsWe found that those who narcissistically identified with their nation overclaimed their historical knowledge. Specifically, they claimed familiarity with non-existing historical events and were unable to claim familiarity with existing ones. We also found that the relationship between national narcissism and declared interest in one’s nation’s history was effectively re-duced to zero after partialing out the shared variance to overclaiming historical knowledge.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that national narcissism might be a superficial self-presentation style, which is primarily focused on oneself, not on the nation. Those who narcissistically identify themselves with their nation only proclaim their interest, but have lower objective knowledge.

Optimization of the Regulation Needle Structure Based on the Flow Regulation Characteristic and Flow Loss Mechanism: Optimisation de la Structure de l'aiguille de régulation basée sur la caractéristique de régulation du débit et le mécanisme de perte de débit

The regulation needle is a key component of the variable ejector to guarantee the quality of flow control and improve ejector performance. However, the studies related to the variable ejector lack regulation needle structure optimization. In this paper, for both linear and arc-shaped nozzles, three different profiles of regulation needles: linear, elliptical, and parabolic types are optimized based on the flow regulation characteristic (FRC) and local flow loss mechanism. The calculation method of the variable nozzle FRC is established. The results show that for the arc-shaped nozzles when the bottom radius Rs of the regulation needle is 0.75 times throat radius Rt, a linear regulation needle with half-top angle αs being 32° is recommended, which makes the FRC ideal, minimizes the entropy production and maximizes the pressure recovery ratio (PRR). For the linear nozzles equipped with the elliptical regulation needle, as the ratio of the height to the bottom radius of the regulation needle head (RHR) increases, the FRCs get closer to the ideal parabolic type, however, the entropy production increases and the PRR decreases. Therefore, the RHR is advised to be 3 for linear nozzles. The findings can serve as important guidance for optimizing variable ejector design.

Practical three-dimensional path following and control for unmanned combat aerial vehicles based on expansion of L1+ guidance logic and disturbance rejection

An effective virtual-target-based three-dimensional path-following algorithm is proposed for unmanned combat aerial vehicles, which extends from the planar [Formula: see text] guidance. The separated implementation of the planar guidance law in two perpendicular planes provides the longitudinally-laterally decoupled acceleration commands. In order to obtain a non-unique virtual-target-point, a numerical iterative method using auxiliary path-related variables is proposed. Moreover, two protection improvements are discussed for real-word implementation: one involves the modification of adaptive [Formula: see text] length for vehicle position far away from the desired path; the other involves a switching strategy for multi-segment paths. The improved algorithm eliminates complex coordinate transformation and easily connects different types of path segments. For the control loop, technology enhanced with the active disturbance rejection control was used to facilitate the design of a bank-to-turn autopilot. For the pitch and roll channels, a rate-damping augmentation loop was used first to transform the original system into a generalized plant. Then the second-order active disturbance rejection control was structured to estimate the total disturbance, including time-varying dynamics, model mismatch, and coupling of channels, making the system an ideal integral-series type. The non-smooth optimization technique in the H-infinity methodology was used to facilitate tuning of the fixed-structure active disturbance rejection control.

Manifestation of national identity in the socio-political values of student youth

The problem of national identity is one of the most controversial, not losing scientific and socio-political relevance for many centuries. National identity is based on a system of value guidelines that unites individuals into a single historical, cultural and social community. The formation of national self-awareness occurs in the process of internalization by an individual of the value system of his country. At the same time, the self-perception of belonging to a certain nation is not predetermined by formal citizenship and is not given once and for all; throughout the life of an individual there is the possibility of choice and change of national identity. This choice is inevitable when the country’s value guidelines change. The modern period in Russian history, and indeed the whole world, is a kind of bifurcation point; the values of the globalizing world, the so-called Western values, come into conflict with traditional Russian values. For the preservation of Russian national identity, the choice of young people is of particular importance. The future of the country depends on what value guidelines form the basis of the national self-determination of today's Russian youth. The article presents the results of a study of the relationship between socio-political values and the choice of national identity of Russian students. It is not by chance that students are identified as the object of observation. As the avant-garde, the most educated part of young people with high ambitions and a desire for social independence, students are the most receptive to change. For the analysis, empirical data from a study by the Center for Political Science of the Institute of Socio-Political Research of FCTAS RAS “Students of Russia: civic culture and life strategies” were used. Using the method of factor analysis, based on the results of an empirical study, three basic types of identity were identified: “Russian, person of his city”, “person of the world, the Internet”, “Asian”. It has been proven that the prevailing type of student identity is closely related to his socio-political attitudes and guidelines. The types that differ most in their views are “Russian, person of the city” and “person of the world, the Internet.” The first type is characterized by pronounced positive assessments of Russia's situation on the world stage, optimistic forecasts for the development of both the economy and the development of the country as a whole in 10-15 years. Representatives of this type see the main national idea in the unity of the peoples of Russia in order to revive the country as a great power. Representatives of the “person of the world, Internet” type are characterized by less positive assessments of the present and future of Russia. The main national idea for them is to create a legal and modern democratic state, the path of development is a free market economy. Among the values, such concepts as human rights, freedom and democracy are more significantly represented. But the most important difference between the second type is the pronounced migration sentiment.

평생학습도시 정책 사업 성과평가를 둘러싼 의미쟁투의 지형과 특징: 푸코의 헤테로토피아 관점에서

The purpose of this study is to analyze the terrain and features of the meaning contestation in the local scene surrounding the performance evaluation of the Lifelong Learning City policy project as a major change in the local lifelong learning promotion policy environment, and to extend the discussion of the implications and current affairs of this result from the perspective of Foucault's heterotopia. The analysis revealed that the meaning contestation surrounding the performance evaluation of the Lifelong Learning City policy project (hereinafter referred to as 'performance evaluation') is deeply intertwined with the role identities of lifelong educators who are closely connected to this work. Therefore, this study first structured the types of lifelong educator role identities, and then identified the meaning and issues, ramifications and impacts, challenges and directions of 'performance evaluation' in relation to them. In this study, the role identities of lifelong educators were categorized into four main types, which in turn were categorized into two groups with respect to their dominant perception of performance evaluation. First, the problematic perception and direction of 'performance evaluation' in the functional role approach and the organizational culture prescriptive approach were identified in relation to: ➀ discriminatory indicators that do not match the field, ➁ performance that is outside the management area of the dedicated department, ➂ the need to move away from a one-size-fits-all evaluation method, and ➃ the treatment of lifelong educators and the reality of staff shortages. Second, in the organizational culture structural role approach and socio-cultural interaction approach, the impact of the recent 'performance evaluation' (Lifelong Learning City redesignation evaluation) implemented by the Ministry of Education was first analyzed in the context of each local government, and then linked to the performance evaluation as an important basis for presenting the perspective and direction of the performance evaluation. The ramifications and impacts were discussed in three main pillars: ➀ organizational culture (triggering the organization's attention and awareness, and the role of raising its external status), ➁ business management (creating the Lifelong Learning City data archive, working to build a performance management system, thinking about characterizing the Lifelong Learning City business, and seeking ways to link and collaborate with other departments), and ➂ personal (recognition of expertise and growth as a lifelong educator). Based on this, the problem recognition and direction of 'performance evaluation' were presented as: ➀ Limitations of performance sharing due to compartmentalized administrative culture, ➁ Expansion of lifelong education network to create convergent performance, ➂ Performance management to increase the value of lifelong education across the city, and ➃ Evaluation index to share overall direction and data utilization. Finally, the results of this study were discussed through the main points of Heterotopia to deepen the discussion.

Longitudinal relations between parenting practices and prosocial behaviors in recent immigrant Latino/a adolescents: Familism values and ethnic identity as mediators

IntroductionThe present study investigated the mediating roles of familism values and ethnic identity in longitudinal associations between recent immigrant U.S. Latino/a adolescents' reports of their parents' (i.e., mothers' and fathers') use of social and material rewards and prosocial behaviors.MethodsParticipants included 302 recent immigrant U.S. Latino/a adolescents (M age = 14.5 years at Time 1, range = 13–17 years, 53% male) recruited from Los Angeles and Miami. Participants self-reported on their perceptions of parents' use of social and material rewards (Time 1), familism values (Time 3), ethnic identity (Time 5), and multiple types of prosocial behaviors (Time 6).ResultsPath analyses showed that mothers' use of social rewards was indirectly related (via familism values and ethnic identity) to higher levels of everyday types of helping behaviors seen in youth, whereas mothers' use of material rewards was only directly related to motive-based helping behaviors. In contrast, we found no significant direct or indirect relations from fathers' use of social or material rewards and prosocial behaviors.DiscussionThe discussion describes the parenting and cultural assets that facilitate varied types and motives of prosocial behaviors in recent immigrant U.S. Latino/a youth. Family-based interventions, prosocial development theories, and future research on this topic can target prosocial parenting practices (e.g., social rewards) and cultural assets (e.g., familism values, ethnic identity) to facilitate helping in youth.

International comparative analysis of the industry-education relationship in vocational education and training: From the perspective of economic sociology

The relationship between industry and education serves as a focal point in research on vocational education. Previous studies using rigid Weberian ideal types of behavior struggle to capture the complex realities and notable variations both within and across developing countries and often fail to consider the impact of educational systems and the connection between education and employment. This article endeavors to introduce a new framework for international comparative analysis through the lens of economic sociology. This analytical framework examines three key dimensions: the readiness and capacity of industries to engage in vocational education, the willingness of students to enroll in vocational education, and the influence of labor market and education institutions on both industries and students in relation to vocational education. Its purpose is to explore the relationships and critical factors that affect the interactions between industry and education in Germany, the US, and China. The findings can be summarized as follows: In the US, industry has a relatively low demand for a skilled workforce and a diminished inclination to invest in vocational education and training (VET), and the willingness of students to engage in VET is also relatively low. Certain characteristics of US labor market and education system also present significant challenges for the industry-education relationship in VET. In Germany, the industry has a relatively high demand for skilled workers, and there is an interest in investing in VET, and some students are willing to choose VET. The labor markets and education systems in each country also affect the involvement of stakeholders in VET. In China, a more mixed picture can be observed, with a closer similarity to the US in terms of the industry-education relationship in VET, with the exception that the government plays a more active role in this.

Ethnic and National Identity in Russian Research: A Scoping Review

This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the contemporary studies regarding ethnic and national identities written in the Russian language. The study reveals major contexts and patterns of the operationalization of the concepts. The scoping review is based on the framework outlined by Arksey and O’Malley, with qualitative content analysis as its primary method. Samples from 114 papers were analyzed to find existing approaches to identity studies and conceptualization. Explicit and implicit identity definitions and identity attributes were mapped and coded. The research found that scholars tend to provide original definitions and relate identity to consciousness. Implying the idea of a person’s uniqueness, identity is often regarded as rooted in memory, hence the number of mentions of memory studies and memory politics in the reviewed articles. Another finding is that multiple and/or complex identities are widely investigated, and these identity types are given original names, mostly compound. With a great number of identity types, there is still a common understanding of identity as a constructed, dynamic phenomenon. The study concludes that identity is a common value-charged notion for Russian academic discourse, with national and ethnic identities being at the heart of the ongoing studies. The paper concentrates on identities of large groups, which is viewed as a politically sensitive issue, closely intertwined with the view of identity as a factor and resource of the development of society. Main topics are politics, history, representation, dynamics, plurality, communication, cultural factors, and territory. The analysis of the identity studies contributes to professional discourse by illuminating how concepts of ethnic and national identities are operationalized and communicated in the Russian-language academic community, thus enhancing cross-cultural understanding and facilitating more effective professional communication in related fields. Given the limitations, the findings identify the main patterns of concept usage, point to research gaps, and provide a basis for future research.

Теоретики русского народничества о проблеме нравственной автономии личности

Introduction. The article analyzes the works of Russian populists, which contain a socio-philosophical solution to the problem of moral autonomy of the individual. Theoretical analysis. The socio-philosophical ideal of populist thought was closely connected with the theory of organizing a fair society based on the pattern of social solidarity, which implies socially responsible behavior of citizens who respect other people’s rights and act in the interests of human liberation. Individual autonomy can be achieved through various methods of liberation: through labor activity and the practice of cooperation, socio-political activity in the direction of realizing the social ideal of conscious solidarity. The moral autonomy of the individual, therefore, does not imply moral nihilism, but, on the contrary, is aimed at finding a compromise between private and public interests. Theorists of populism develop the thesis of N. G. Chernyshevsky’s «reasonable egoism», according to which intellectually and morally meaningful individualistic (autonomous) behavior can correspond to collective interests. The moral autonomy of the individual, according to most populists, does not deny the possibility of socially responsible behavior. Conclusion. Populist thought becomes a kind of counterpoint to the development of liberating social thought in Russia, transforming the ideal type of carrier of liberating ideas: a morally autonomous nihilist turns into a socially responsible populist.

Comparative Analysis: Machine vs Human Translation of Educational Scientific Texts. Challenges and Solutions

Introduction. The purpose of this article is to analyze the features of identity formation and identification processes in postmodern society and in digital society. The article explores various approaches to the concept of «identity» within the framework of socio-humanitarian theories. The interrelation of real and virtual identity, the emergence of new forms and models of identity are considered. Two approaches to the analysis of identity in a digital society are analyzed and compared: digital optimism and digital pessimism.Methodology and sources. The article uses a comparative analysis of various theoretical approaches to identity formation. An interdisciplinary approach is used to understand the features of identity in the era of digitalization. As the main sources for the study of the phenomenon of identity there were used works of classics of sociology and psychology E. Erickson, J.G. Meade, E. Durkheim, as well as studies of representatives of modern philosophical and sociological theories Z. Bauman, A. Giddens, S. Turkle, A.A. Lisenkova, T.G. Leshkevich.Results and discussion. It is shown that in postmodern society, identity is characterized by the processes of individualization, fragmentation and the absence of a single cultural center. In a digital society, along with the processes of individualization, there are processes of standardization and unification of person. It is concluded that in a digital society, identity has positive and negative sides. On the one hand, there is a positive vector for the use of online communications, network interaction of people, which destroys spatial and temporal boundaries, as well as social barriers. On the other hand, new types of virtual identity are being formed, challenging a person's own identity.Conclusion. It is concluded that the digital society changes human identity, identification practices and strategies. The consequence of these processes is the formation of a person fused with digital technologies, which leads to the transformation of the social order, social norms and society as a whole.

Exploring the relationship between hybrid founder social identities and entrepreneurs’ psychological resilience

ABSTRACT This study explores the link between entrepreneurs’ hybrid founder social identity and psychological resilience, applying social identity theory and broaden-and-build theory. Psychological resilience is crucial for entrepreneurial success, given the challenging environments in which entrepreneurs operate. Yet, research on individual-level antecedents of entrepreneurs’ psychological resilience is limited. Entrepreneurs today strive to address social and ecological issues without sacrificing financial gain, making hybrid identity types—combining “opportunistic” (Darwinian) and “altruistic” (Communitarian or Missionary) elements—increasingly relevant. Analyzing survey data from 886 entrepreneurs, we find that entrepreneurs with specific hybrid identities (Darwinian-Communitarian or Darwinian-Missionary combinations) exhibit greater psychological resilience. We attribute this to their expanded ability to draw meanings and experience positive emotions from diverse sources, providing them with a broader psychological foundation to rely on in challenging times. This work enhances our understanding of entrepreneurs’ antecedents of psychological resilience and offers insights into the complexities of hybrid founder identities.

The transcriptional integration of environmental cues with root cell type development.

Plant roots navigate the soil ecosystem with each cell type uniquely responding to environmental stimuli. Below ground, the plant's response to its surroundings is orchestrated at the cellular level, including morphological and molecular adaptations that shape root system architecture as well as tissue and organ functionality. Our understanding of the transcriptional responses at cell type resolution has been profoundly enhanced by studies of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. However, both a comprehensive view of the transcriptional basis of these cellular responses to single and combinatorial environmental cues in diverse plant species remains elusive. In this review, we highlight the ability of root cell types to undergo specific anatomical or morphological changes in response to abiotic and biotic stresses or cues and how they collectively contribute to the plant's overall physiology. We further explore interconnections between stress and the temporal nature of developmental pathways and discuss examples of how this transcriptional reprogramming influences cell type identity and function. Finally, we highlight the power of single-cell and spatial transcriptomic approaches to refine our understanding of how environmental factors fine tune root spatiotemporal development. These complex root system responses underscore the importance of spatiotemporal transcriptional mapping, with significant implications for enhanced agricultural resilience.

Abstract A028: MTAP deficiency is frequent and mostly homogeneous in ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas

Abstract Complete expression loss of S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is caused by homozygous 9p21 deletion and results in a critical vulnerability of cancer cells towards drugs targeting multiple different pathways. MTAP deficiency is common in ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, but data on its intratumoral heterogeneity - a potential obstacle for targeted therapies - are lacking. To learn more on the role and potential heterogeneity of MTAP deficiency in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, 236 primary tumors were analyzed in a tissue microarray (TMA) format by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for MTAP expression and 9p21 deletions. The cohort included 236 cancers from which 6 samples were taken from as many as possible different tumor containing primary tumor blocks and 3 samples were added from as many as possible lymph node metastases to construct a “heterogeneity TMA”. All available tumor containing blocks (average 4) from 6 selected cancers were also analyzed by IHC and FISH on whole sections. Complete absence of MTAP staining was seen in 350 (38.6%) of 907 interpretable TMA samples. 284 (98.6%) of 288 samples with a complete MTAP expression loss and FISH data had a homozygous 9p21 deletion while there were only two tumor spots with homozygous deletions within 557 samples with retained MTAP expression (99.6% concordance). On a patient level, an MTAP deficiency was found in 64 (41.0%) of 156 tumors for which at least 3 different samples were interpretable on the TMAs. 62 (96.9%) of these patients showed an MTAP loss in all interpretable samples (homogeneous MTAP deficiency). The TMA data were confirmed on whole sections in 5 of 6 patients. In the discrepant case a focal MTAP loss was identified in a tumor considered MTAP wild type based on the TMA results. It is concluded that MTAP expression loss is frequent and highly homogeneous in ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas. Given the high concordance rate between homozygous deletion and MTAP expression loss homozygous deletion may represent the only mechanism for MTAP deficiency in pancreatic cancer. MTAP IHC is an excellent tool for identification of MTPA deficient cases. MTAP IHC may also have considerable diagnostic value as even low-grade cancer glands can be easily identified in small biopsies from MTAP deficient cases. Considering also their aggressive clinical behavior, pancreatic adenocarcinomas may represent an ideal cancer type for studying new drugs targeting MTAP deficient cancer cells in clinical trials.

National Identity & Historical Memory: Functionality of Historical Memory in the Formation and Development of National Identity

Historical memory, which is shaped within the scope of the value judgments of the society in which an individual lives in the historical process, is an active past that forms the personality of the individual. This historical past has many dynamics, variables, and essential formations shaped by it. National/national identity, one of them, reflects a type of identity that emerges and develops according to the historical memory of the individual. The study focused on the functions of historical memory in forming and developing national identity. In this direction, the main questions addressed by the article are what are the effects of historical memory on the formation of national identity based on the concepts of identity, national identity, nationalism, memory, collective memory, and historical memory?
