THE INFLUENCE OF COMMUNICATION IN CREATING HOUSEHOLD HARMONY IN ACEH BARAT DISTRICT

Family harmony is a state where family members are united, each member fulfills their rights and obligations, affection is fostered, and mutual understanding, dialogue, and cooperation are well established, resulting in physical and spiritual well-being. This study aims to understand communication patterns in creating a harmonious household, analyze communication aspects influencing household harmony, and identify obstacles in creating a harmonious household. This research uses qualitative methods, where the researcher comprehensively examines the facts in the field according to the focus of the problem. The data obtained is then analyzed, presented, and discussed. Accurate and reliable data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The results of the study indicate that (1) communication patterns that can create household harmony include interpersonal communication, mutual trust and understanding, direct communication, and gentle communication; (2) communication aspects affecting household harmony include communication patterns and adjustments, the busyness of both spouses, financial issues, poor parenting, and lack of mutual trust. On the other hand, poor and ineffective communication results in household disharmony, as communication within the household is the main element for expressing all household life issues, and everything must be communicated openly and transparently. (3) obstacles to creating a harmonious household include poor communication, family aspects, economic aspects, infidelity, and lack of cooperation in nurturing, caring for, and guiding children. The responsibility for children is entirely handed over to the wife. At the same time, the husband only focuses on earning a living, thinking he must provide financially without assisting with household affairs. However, in maintaining a household, cooperation in all matters is essential.

Embracing Peace Education for Interreligious Awareness in Myanmar: A Case Study of the Judson Research Center

There is limited consideration of the role of interreligious awareness in both preventing violent conflict and integrating it into the curriculum of modern peace education. This paper seeks to address this gap by recognizing the significance of religious awareness in peacebuilding through peace education, focusing on the Judson Research Center of the Myanmar Institute of Theology as a key institution in promoting a peaceful society. Myanmar has been prone to religious conflict for a long time, especially as religion has been used by various groups to gain political advantage, and religion has become a sensitive topic. The research method in this study is a qualitative case study conducted through informal dialogue with two key officials and representatives of the center, a literature review (mainly on peace educa-tion to align with the purpose of the article), analysis of documents and research articles, as well as dissert-ations and journal articles, including studying the practices of the research center itself. As a research article and not merely a desk paper based on existing published articles alone, the findings of this article are thus not based on pre-conceived themes. Rather, the themes emerged based on actual field observation, interviews, and contextual analysis. This paper highlights the importance of peace education for peaceful communication among different religious groups and its contribution to improving interreligious awareness for building peace. Ultimately, it empha-sizes the critical role of peace education in fostering mutual understanding, respect, and trust for the establishment of a peaceful and harmonious society. Keywords: communication, Judson Research Center, peacebuilding, peace education, religion

THE IMPLICITY OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSPARENCY OF BANK LENDING TO THE REAL SECTOR AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: WORLD EXPERIENCE

The modern development of the global economy is associated with multiple transformational challenges that raise the issue of ensuring an appropriate level of mutual trust between banking and industrial businesses. This issue is especially relevant for Ukraine, which is facing a crucial task - the post-war reconstruction of the national economy on the basis of sustainability, integrity and environmental friendliness. The aim of the paper is to identify implicit links between the transparency of bank lending to the real sector and economic development over the past 15 years in twelve countries, including Ukraine. This study is based on the correlation and regression tools for analysing relationships. As a result, the article confirms the hypothesis of the existence of significant cause-and-effect relationships between improving banking transparency, reducing corruption, growing economic freedom, increasing lending to the real sector and ensuring economic growth for a number of countries, regardless of their level of economic development. It has been found that in countries with steadily high corruption and economic freedom perception indices, the significance of the correlation with the development of bank lending to the real sector is lost. The reasons for deviations from the natural dialectic of the studied relationships are revealed in the example of India and Turkey. The peculiarities of their formation, preconditions and prospects for strengthening in Ukraine are highlighted. The contribution of the National Bank of Ukraine to increasing the level of transparency of lending activities of second-tier banks is investigated.

CHARACTERISTICS OF OBJECTIVE SIGNS OF THE MAIN COMPOSITION OF ILLEGAL LOAN RECEIPT

The author examines the objective signs of the corpus delicti described in Part 1 of Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This crime undermines the system of relations between the lender and the borrower in the field of lending, which is based largely on mutual trust. Having similarities with encroachments on property, the illegal receipt of a loan is not such, which led to a special characteristic of the signs of the composition of this crime. When carrying out official qualification, law enforcement officers need to be clear about what the content of the sign of the composition of the specified crime is, which are classified as objective signs. At the same time, it seems that a complete understanding of the properties of these features is possible only with a comprehensive analysis and comparison. In this article, the author draws attention to the ambiguity of perception of some signs of a crime indicated in Part 1 of Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This is due to the fact that the disposition of this norm belongs to the category of blanks and therefore implies an appeal to the norms of not only criminal, but also civil and banking legislation of Russia. In general, the scientific article is aimed at employees of investigative and judicial authorities pecializing in the investigation of economic crimes. At the same time, it is of interest to persons engaged in research activities in the field of analysis of economic crimes

The New Draft Agreement on the EU Accession to the echr: Overcoming Luxembourg’s Threshold

Abstract The European Union’s accession to the European Convention on Human Rights has now been an ongoing project for decades, and questions have, therefore, rightfully emerged as to when and how it will be completed. After negotiations have been relaunched due to the Court of Justice’s negative Opinion 2/13, it is now time to take stock and examine whether the new Draft Accession Agreement of 2023 will live up to another intense scrutiny by Luxembourg’s judges. To investigate whether this will be the case, I discuss all problems highlighted by the cjeu, namely: the scope of accession and reservations made to the Convention; the co-respondent mechanism; the prior involvement procedure; inter-party cases; advisory opinions under Protocol No 16 to the Convention; the relationship between Article 53 echr and Article 53 of the Charter; the principle of mutual trust; and jurisdiction over the Union’s Common Foreign and Security Policy.

On the issue of creating an algorithm for assessing safety culture in modern healthcare institutions

Healthcare institutions with a high culture of patient safety are characterized by the appropriate level of mutual trust of employees, a general understanding of the importance of patient safety issues, the presence of an effective system of preventive measures to ensure the safety of both medical personnel and the patient, which has been implemented. Moreover, maintaining a high safety culture requires an understanding of certain norms of behavior and attitude towards the patient from the stand point of ensuring his maximum safety, which contributes to compliance with treatment standards and the development of safe behavior. The aim of the study was to create and scientifically substantiate an algorithm for analytical assessment of the level of safety culture in modern healthcare institutions. The research was conducted on the basis of the Dental Medical Center of Bogomolets National Medical University. Hygienic and medical-sociological methods and methods of expert assessment and statistical analysis were used in the work. Expert assessment maps of the leading components of safety culture served as the material of the conducted research. The organizational and target structure of the scientific work provided for the determination of the structural features of the leading components of safety culture and the development of a scoring scale for their assessment, the implementation of an expert evaluation of the specified components and the establishment of the degree of consistency of the opinions of experts, the calculation of the weighting coefficients of the influence of various components on the formation of a certain level of safety culture and the justification of objective statistical approaches to assessing the level of safety culture. In the course of the conducted research, a high degree of consistency of experts’opinions was revealed and the values of weighting coefficient swere calculated, which made it possible to develop generalized formulas for determining the values of indicators of the level of safety culture provision in modern healthcare institutions from the standpoint of assessing the degree of influence on the level of safety culture of the leading characteristics of dangerous actions of a person (doctor, specialist, etc.) (Component No. 1), identifying the degree of influence on the level of safety culture of both strengths and weaknesses in creating a safe medical environment (Component No. 2) and establishing the degree of influence on the level of safety culture of dangerous production factors inherent for medical environment (Component No. 3). It is sub­stantiated that the process of creating an algorithm for analytical assessment of the level of safety culture in modern healthcare institutions should involve the implementation of the following stages: establishing the degree of expression of the leading indicators that are components of each of its main components, using special scales (1ststage), determining the values indicators of ensuring the level of patient safety culture for each of the components using the appropriate generalized formulas (2ndstage), evaluation and meaningful interpretation of the values of indicators of the level of safety culture based on quantitative criteria (3rdstage), determination of collective, group or personalized, according to the content, strategies application of preventive measures aimed at increasing the level of safety culture in each specific case (4thstage).

Transfer of tacit knowledge: review of the dimensions of analysis on the construct

Tacit Knowledge Transfer (TKT) is the process of sharing and disseminating Tacit Knowledge (TK) among organization members. This article aims to identify the dimensions of analysis regarding the TTK construct through a mixed-methods approach, employing bibliometric and descriptive analyses of TTK studies. The comparative analysis between the most cited and the most recent studies may reveal an evolution of the technical, cognitive, and social dimensions within the field of TTK. While earlier studies emphasize trust and diverse contexts influencing TTK, recent works direct attention toward individual competencies, mutual trust, and social interaction as crucial elements for a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon, deepening seminal discussions on the construct.

Normative Content and Practice of Application of the Principle of General (Aggregate) Cost Coverage in the Budget System of the Russian Federation

The paper presents a comprehensive study of the importance of the principle of general (aggregate) cost coverage for the formation of the Russian budget system, formation of budget and tax legislation, implementation of modern budget policy and development of law enforcement practice. Special attention is paid not only to the doctrinal and theoretical understanding of this principle, but also to the systematization and research of various introduced practices of linking budget expenditures with specific sources of revenues (primarily mandatory public payments) or financing budget deficits. The paper presents various legislative proposals for the introduction of exceptions to the prohibition of linking budget expenditures and certain budget revenues, which were rejected due to their contradiction to the principle of total (aggregate) cost coverage. The study allowed the author to make proposals based on the constitutional principle of mutual trust between the State and society. By introducing a mandatory public payment, the payment of which is conditioned by the purpose of carrying out special expenses of public authorities, the state must create a guaranteed target mechanism for financing such expenses using special mechanisms for accumulating budget revenues.

An investigation of disintermediation on freight exchange platform: the role of buyer-supplier relationships

ABSTRACT The formation of buyer-supplier relationships (BSRs) is a major disintermediation trigger, causing losses for platforms. Utilising data from a freight exchange platform in China, this paper examines the impact of user-platform relationship (UPR) homogeneity, which aggregates BSRs at the user-platform level, on user’s disintermediation. We find that high UPR homogeneity leads to user disintermediation under the joint effect of high mutual trust and low switching costs. Relationship substitutability reduces the effect by influencing the generation of mutual trust. Involuntary transactions reinforce it, while service variety reduces it by influencing the generation of switching costs. This research contributes to the literature by expanding the focus from the dyadic perspective to the platform and highlighting that the benefits of BSRs for buyers and suppliers can harm platforms by influencing user disintermediation. This insight suggests that platforms should oversee users’ BSR portfolios to avoid the potential issue of excessive concentration.

The Influence Of Dominant Leadership And Group Cohesiveness On Groupthink Phenomenon In The Decision-Making Process: A Systematic Literature Review

In collective decision-making, a phenomenon known as "groupthink" can happen when individuals of the group have a tendency to agree with the majority view, even when that view is not supported by reason. The primary objective of this study is to examine how group cohesiveness and leadership affect groupthink and how it affects the standard of decision-making. The outcomes of earlier studies are analyzed in this study using a methodical literature review approach. According to study findings, group cohesiveness and dominant leadership can raise the possibility of groupthink. Two factors contribute to this: (1) Dominant leaders frequently dictate how decisions are made, which limits group members' ability to participate and conduct discussions; and (2) Cohesive groups typically have a high degree of mutual trust, which makes it comfortable for members to voice differing ideas. The effectiveness of the decision-making process might be negatively impacted by groupthink.

The effectiveness of voluntary collective action in China's rural land development

China is gradually and directly making rural collective land available on the land market. It is important to understand how stakeholders collectively treat and manage this land, and if this collective action leads to effective and sustainable results. This paper, however, revises Ostrom's framework of collective action by constructing the joint analysis of social capital, trust, and cooperation performance, in order to better capture the distinction between voluntary action and enforced action of stakeholders towards a sustainable goal. We analyze the role of voluntary collective action through higher-order structural equation modeling (HSEM), applied to a database consisting of 324 households in Jiangsu Province, China, collected in 2022 and 2023. The results suggest that social capital effectively promotes villagers' trust in policy implementers by establishing new institutions, increasing actors' trustworthiness, and improving channels of information exchange, and the first two means are more effective than the latter. We also demonstrate the significant positive effect of trust on cooperation performance, with trusting relationships with familiar groups and the credible behavior of policy implementers affecting performance outcomes of collective action. Moreover, social capital drives cooperation performance through the mediating effect of mutual trust that it breeds. With this revised framework and verified hypotheses one can thus create more effective policies to avoid inequality and informality in the land marketization process in China.

Nursing Teamwork: An in-Depth Concept Analysis with Walker & Avant’s Framework

Background: Nursing teamwork is fundamental for delivering high-quality patient care. Successful teamwork includes communication, collaboration, trust, respect, shared decision-making, accountability, and flexibility among healthcare professionals. Objective: The purpose of this concept analysis is to clarify and define the concept of teamwork in nursing, providing nurses with a comprehensive understanding to enhance healthcare delivery. Methods: This study employed a concept analysis using Walker and Avant’s model (1986) to elucidate the significance, characteristics, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of teamwork in nursing. Data collection involved a comprehensive literature review of peer-reviewed journals, books, and authoritative online resources. Data were synthesized to identify core themes and patterns related to defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences of teamwork. The ethical considerations were aligned with the Declaration of Helsinki. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25.0, with descriptive statistics summarizing the defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for categorical variables, while means and standard deviations were used for continuous variables. Results: The analysis identified seven key attributes of effective nursing teamwork: communication, collaboration, trust, respect, shared decision-making, accountability, and flexibility. Antecedents included clear roles and responsibilities, open communication, mutual trust and respect, shared goals, cultural competence, and adequate resources. Positive consequences included improved patient outcomes (e.g., 20% reduction in hospital stays), enhanced patient satisfaction (increased by 30%), increased efficiency (20% faster service delivery), and improved staff satisfaction (25% decrease in burnout rates). Negative consequences of poor teamwork included poor patient outcomes, reduced patient satisfaction, increased healthcare costs (by 15%), and staff burnout. Empirical referents included teamwork assessment tools, patient outcomes, reduced healthcare costs, reduced medical errors (by 10%), and improved quality of care. Conclusion: Effective teamwork is integral to nursing practice and significantly impacts patient outcomes, staff satisfaction, and healthcare delivery. Fostering communication, collaboration, and mutual respect among healthcare professionals is essential. Education and training, supportive work environments, patient-centered care, and inter-professional collaboration are critical for enhancing teamwork. Healthcare policies should emphasize quality improvement, patient safety, and workforce development to promote effective teamwork in nursing.

Значение китайско-российского стратегического сотрудничества для развития многостороннего взаимодействия в рамках ШОС и БРИКС

In the context of global changes, the deepening of multilateral strategic cooperation between Russia and China has become an important area of demonstrating the universal value and fundamental importance of comprehensive cooperation between countries in a new era. The challenges of our time associated with protracted regional conflicts, changing paradigms of international communication, management dilemmas, a lack of strategic mutual trust, and changes in the perception of the role of each country necessitate joint efforts by states to mitigate them. It is emphasized that the SCO and BRICS mechanisms can be used for this purpose, with some adjustments. On the one hand, it is important to harmonize the management focus and functional boundaries of the SCO, to use the complementary strengths and innovative potential of the countries in the activities of the association. On the other hand, it is necessary to enhance the environmental sustainability of states and the strength of their cooperation within BRICS, to standardize the various requirements of participants and ensure the merger of their interests, to explore opportunities for cooperation based on the Sino-Russian experience and use them to develop a strategy of multilateral interaction aimed at conducting constructive reforms and establishing a multipolar international order on an equitable basis.

Formation of the Statehood of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics in 2014–2022 as a Factor of Legitimacy of Acts on Self-Determination of the Peoples of Donbass

The paper examines the process of formation and development of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics as public legal entities that arose after the self-determination of their peoples and the implementation of secession. The correlation of the principles of territorial integrity and the principle of self-determination is considered through the issue of the legal force of the decision taken at the referendum and its implementation. The paper analyzes the institutionalization of the results of the 2014 referendums and the acquisition of both public and international legal status by the republics through the exercise of full state power in the context of the loss of effective jurisdiction by the old power structures. To this end, the formation of public power in the republics is being investigated. The historical prerequisites for the formation of independent representative and legislative bodies, as well as their evolution, are considered. The implementation of effective control over the state of affairs in the republics with the consent and direct participation of the population is considered as in the case study of building executive power, developing its structure, the activities of courts, local governments, as well as the implementation of productive production activities within the DPR and LPR. It is concluded that the systemic interaction of educated institutions of government and society, their mutual trust, and the activities of directly elected institutions of representative democracy are the foundation of legitimate independent statehood and sovereignty of the republics

Toward a paradigm shift: corrective trust as a pathway to mitigate biases in healthcare and beyond

ABSTRACT In this paper, I explore the concept of corrective trust as a pathway to mitigate biases, and potentially build or restore mutual trust in relationships characterized by power imbalances, particularly within the context of healthcare. Corrective trust takes place when we actively choose to trust others when our initial mistrust or hesitation to trust is due to biases. However, existing accounts of trust as a special form of reliance present challenges to practicing corrective trust. I propose a non-reductive account that construes trust as a basic (i.e. irreducible to more basic concepts such as reliance) but complex (i.e. consists of cognitive, affective, and normative components) attitude, disentangling it from reliance and thus addressing associated challenges. This redefinition enables a deeper understanding of trust and facilitates the application of corrective trust to mitigate biases in healthcare and beyond.

Modern Technologies for Effective Communication between Apartment Owners and Apartment Building Managers in Latvia

As in other sectors of the economy, the construction and operation of buildings are becoming increasingly technologically advanced. Different digital tools are used not only for design and construction planning but also for faster and more efficient communication in housing maintenance and management processes. These technologies can significantly speed up the flow of information, save time and money, and optimize decision-making. This way, the most sustainable solutions are chosen, which not only saves money but can also increase the value of the property. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze the problems and their causes in the communication between apartment building managers and apartment owners, as well as to provide recommendations for their elimination using modern technologies. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the following tasks were carried out: 1) to analyze the statistics, technical and legal aspects of the Latvian housing stock, 2) to assess the situation in the cooperation and communication of apartment owners with the manager, 3) to study and evaluate the use of the largest and most frequently used digital platforms in management activities. The analysis of the technical and legal aspects is based on the monographic or descriptive method and the analysis of secondary data. In order to find out the current situation and identify the main communication problems, the authors have carried out a survey of apartment dwellers. The study found that the most significant problems in managing apartment buildings are related to a lack of information among apartment owners, which contributes to confusion, disinterest, passivity, or conflict. Sometimes you may also encounter incompetence on the part of the manager. Problems are often caused by communication gaps between apartment owners and building managers, or even a lack of communication. With the communication that modern technology can provide, apartment owners and managers can work together effectively to address issues in an environment of understanding and mutual trust.

“Close to the Problem” or “Close to Your Problem”? The Contribution of Bond to the Structure of Early and Advanced Therapeutic Alliance

The study analyzed the contribution of bond in the structure of the therapeutic alliance. Results were reported for two stages of the psychotherapeutic process: early and advanced. The study included 415 psychotherapist–patient dyads in the process of individual psychotherapy. Alliance estimation was based on Bordin’s model of alliance. The hypothesis was tested through structural equation modeling analysis. In both the early and advanced phases of psychotherapy, patient–therapist bond made a large contribution to the structure of the alliance, similar to that of the remaining two components: goals and tasks. The results indicate that bond is a crucial and permanent element in the structure of the relationship in the psychotherapeutic dyad, regardless of the stage of the process. In the advanced phase, the distance in weight between bond and the remaining two dimensions of alliance is minimal. The contribution of bond to the alliance structure as high as the contributions of goals and tasks signals not only the importance of understanding the patient’s problem but also the importance of mutual trust and respect.

Touch: Romanticised micro-moments from a farm kindergarten

Focusing on two micro-moments between non-human animals and young human children in a Norwegian farm kindergarten, this article contributes to knowledge about pedagogical work with multi-species meetings. The micro-moments from a field study are discussed through an exploration and troubling of what we call our ‘romantic’ experience of the children's meetings with farm animals and our resistance to those feelings. We explore what we perceive as a mutual trust, curiosity and interest between the young children and the animals that we relate to Despret's concepts being polite and getting to know, and Haraway's concept companion species. Our discussion contributes an alternative perspective to the traditional view of children-animal relations.

‘Someone has taken all my tiaras' pre-teen girls’ emotional engagements with controversial online behaviors

ABSTRACT Based on ethnographic fieldwork including video recordings, this study examines how pre-teen girls, in everyday peer interaction, deal with controversial issues on a social media network. Drawing on a multimodal interactional approach, we analyze the situated affective and collaborative embodied work through which a peer group unravels and remedies problematic online behaviors (cheating, scamming, stealing). The results show how the girls affectively align themselves to deal with online risks in ways that demand different social media skills as well as networks of supportive peers. The girls agentively draw upon the affordances (texting, images, social norms) of the social media network as well as their expertise and collective knowledge of similar online events. The creative power of the peer group plays an important role, in terms of how the girls nourish their peer culture while building mutual trust and collaborative competencies for interpreting and anticipating risky practices in their lives with peers.
