МІЖДИСЦИПЛІНАРНА СИНТЕЗІЯ КОНВЕНЦІЙ ТА ПАТЕРНІВ СУЧАСНОЇ ПОПУЛЯРНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ США

This article offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of contemporary popular culture in the United States, with a focus on its development over the past two decades. The research encompasses various theoretical approaches, including philosophical, economic, sociological, psychological, historical, and anthropological perspectives, aiming to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex and multifaceted phenomenon of popular culture within the context of globalization and digital transformation. Attention is given to the impact of recommendation algorithms on popular culture, particularly their role in fostering cultural homogenization, personalizing cultural experiences, and shaping new cultural trends. The issues of cultural hybridization, the ritualization of social practices, and the significance of collective memory in the context of popular culture are also explored. Historical analysis reveals the periodization and evolution of cultural institutions, while the socio-anthropological approach highlights the importance of symbolic structures in the formation of cultural narratives. The philosophical lens emphasizes the postmodern characteristics of contemporary popular culture, including the deconstruction of traditional cultural patterns, and analyzes the dynamics of metaphysical concepts, particularly the idea of presence within the conditions of hyperreality. Sociological methodologies assist in addressing the structuration of cultural practices and adaptive processes of socialization through social networks and other digital platforms, which are emerging as new spaces for the construction of social identities. The psychological analysis focuses on the cognitive and emotional effects induced by popular culture, including cognitive disintegration caused by excessive media consumption, and the impact of social comparison on self-esteem and the psychological well-being of individuals. It is emphasized that popular culture products can be designed to appeal to unconscious desires and internalized norms, shaping motivational structures and social behavior patterns. The economic perspective highlights the processes of commodification of cultural products and the monetization of cultural industries. The article underscores the necessity of integrating these approaches to gain a deeper understanding of how contemporary popular culture in the United States influences global cultural processes and shapes the future directions of cultural practices and social structures. The conclusions emphasize the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that allows for a comprehensive consideration of the impact of popular culture on society, its cultural norms, identities, and social dynamics.

Crowdfunding as a Social Phenomenon: A Bibliometric Exploration of Research Trends and Societal Implications

From a marginal to a relevant social phenomenon, crowdfunding has changed traditional funding patterns and caused far-reaching consequences in most areas of society. Actually, very little is known about the multi-faceted implications brought about by crowdfunding. Grounded on existing research, this paper contributes to an understanding of the overall societal impact created by crowdfunding through a bibliometric analysis. This methodology applies co-citation analysis, citation analysis, and keyword co-occurrence analysis to 561 journal publications retrieved from Scopus until August 2024. The results show that there are five major research clusters: Financial Technology and Consumer Behaviour, Entrepreneurial Finance and Innovation, Economic Impact and Business Models, Islamic Finance and Crowdfunding, and Social Impact and Public Goods. The paper contextualises crowdfunding within the framework of democratising access to capital, innovation, and social causes. It also underlines the integration of Islamic finance principles into crowdfunding models. The research set’s theoretical implications serve as the foundation for revised frameworks on entrepreneurship, venture capital, and social impact assessment, which incorporate the influence of crowdfunding. Platform operators, project creators, and investors need to adapt their strategies to evolving consumer behaviours, comprehend backer motivations, and take into account the wider societal impact of the projects they fund. The present research enables future studies of crowdfunding in terms of long-term impact and is a valuable insight for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to steer their way forward in this fast-changing field.

Ethno Veterinary Approaches on Control and Treating Parasitic Diseases

In most African countries livestock contribute 30% of total agricultural gross domestic product. More than 60% of the population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. Parasitic worms or helminths occur worldwide parasitizing the body of humans and domesticated and wild animals. Conventional medicine is a remedy or drug used for diagnosis, treatment of disease and for maintenance of health of an animal. Continuous use of these drugs has resulted in the development of resistance by some internal parasites. “The ability of parasites to survive doses of drugs that would normally kill parasites of the same species and stage”. In general, most of the Ethno-botanical remedies are considered as economical and safe. Furthermore, these remedies are easily available, simple to prepare and/or administer, at minute or free of cost to the farmer. Today many of the allopathic anthelmintics available in the market are either not effective or have induced resistance, resulting in recurrence of parasitic infestations. External parasites affecting different animals are ticks, mites, lice and fleas. Extract the active compounds from the medicinal plants and then test their anthelmintic activity, through in vitro and in vivo systems. Traditional medicine in Ethiopia has been widely used by various ethnic groups, about 90% of livestock population depends on traditional medicine and most of it comes from plants. Herbal medicine has not been documented adequately in Ethiopia and there is a danger that this knowledge will soon be lost as traditional social patterns are increasingly disturbed by globalization, environmental degradation, agricultural expansion, cultivation of marginal lands and urbanization.

Examining The Diffusion Trajectory Of Technology Awareness Initiative In An IT Organization: Insights For Persona Based Organizational Capability Building

This study investigates the diffusion patterns of technology awareness campaigns within a large IT organization. It uses a 21-month cybersecurity awareness initiative as a case study to explore the relationship between awareness diffusion and employee personas (Tech Enthusiasts, Visionaries, Pragmatics, Conservatives, and Skeptics) based on the frameworks of Everett Rogers' "Diffusion of Innovation" theory and Geoffrey Moore's "Crossing the Chasm". While the traditional diffusion pattern suggests a bell curve, the analysis reveals a trajectory characterized by multiple, gradually diminishing spikes. An employee survey revealed that the dominance of Tech Enthusiasts, due to the IT-oriented nature of the workforce, contributed to this deviation. Furthermore, the study identified two "chasms" – a deviation from Moore's single-chasm model. Key stakeholder interviews provided insights into how the organization successfully bridged these chasms. Based on these findings, the study offers practical recommendations for organizations planning and implementing awareness campaigns. Overall, this research provides valuable insights for organizations aiming to develop their workforce capabilities in new technologies and methodologies.

Deanthroponymic Names of Ural Minerals: Word-Formation Patterns

The study investigates the nomenclature of Ural minerals derived from anthroponyms. The data was sourced from printed and electronic publications on geology and mineralogy. The aim of the research is to analyze the primary word-formation patterns evident in the lexemes of the compiled corpus, discern deviations from traditional word-formation patterns, and ascertain their underlying causes. The deanthroponymic model emerges as the predominant one for mineral nomenclature, constituting 38% of the total number of names analyzed. The second most prevalent model is based on toponyms (22%). Models wherein mineral names are derived from indications of their geochemical composition or properties exhibit significantly lower frequency compared to the two aforementioned models. The most prevalent method of forming deanthroponymic mineral names (mineralonyms) entails incorporating the surname of a notable figure associated with mineralogy, followed by the addition of the formant -it (less frequently, -lit) or -in. Departures from this model manifest in two ways. Firstly, atypical formants such as -an, -zit, -oit, and -anit are utilized, which may be categorized as phonetic-graphic variants or instances of contamination of productive formants. Secondly, deviations occur in the base of the mineralonym, whereby the generating unit is not solely the surname but rather its constituent parts (in cases where the surname is multi-component), as well as the inclusion of the first name, first name and surname, or the root part of the surname translated into Latin. It can be posited that in the use of formally atypical models and approaches to mineralonym creation, the subjective aesthetic considerations of the nominator play a pivotal role, driven by the desire to craft a harmonious and user-friendly term. Additionally, the evident intention is to mitigate homonymy and other instances of ambiguity that are incompatible with a coherent terminological system and hinder the unequivocal association of the name with the denoted object.

From Experimental Animal to Companion: Astronaut`s Behavioural Health and Risk Management for Mars Exploration

Space science has been developed through past and current missions of the International Space Station (ISS) and Tiangong Space Station (TSS) in low Earth orbit and on the lunar surface. Numerous missions have used animals on test flights to better understand the physiological dangers of space flight for humans. A contemporary focus of space exploration is long-duration crewed travel to establish a Moon station and reach Mars. The astrotechnology of the human-less spaceflights (USA, Russia, ESA, UAE, China, and India) launched in 1965 (Mariner 4), has advanced enough to support the progressive colonisation of the Red Planet with investigating equipment (Perseverance rover, Ingenuity helicopter, Hope orbiter, Tianwen-1 orbiter, and Chinese lander-rover). Are humans, then, ready to explore for Mars soon? What are major hazards that still need to be solved? Can animals play a novel role for humans in deep space travel? While the five factors of altered gravity, radiation, confinement (isolation), distance from Earth, and unknown hostile environments have been analysed in the scientific field of space medicine, this paper explores the biological ripple effects of animal astronauts to mitigate risks for human astronauts. The countermeasures of the psychological well-being and space community security are determined considering the potential role of animals in reducing the emergence rate of behavioural health and performance decrements (loneliness, mental and emotional strain, fear, lethargy, lack of enthusiasm, and violence). This paper argues a new hypothesis that if the engineering aspects of animal (dog) support does not reduce the scientific capabilities, the cognitive policy of a �human-pet companionship� apart from the historically traditional pattern of �experimental animal� can benefit the mental, social, and physical resilience of the Martian astronauts during the return mission (2.5�3 years).

Concept of housework of married women: Personal happiness, cooperation, bargaining, and the burden of generalist

With the deepening of the ideology of gender equality in Chinese society, the traditional pattern of division of housework, constructed based on traditional gender perspectives, was challenged. The attitudes of married women towards housework also changed. However, those attitudes are not independent of the influence of the time in which women live. Different ages have different political, material, and cultural elements, shaping different attitudes towards housework for women born in different generations. The earlier the generation of women, the closer the contact with traditional gender ideologies, and the more likely they become the main undertaker of housework. On the other hand, women born in the later generation make different choices under the guidance of rationality due to the convenience of obtaining information, the development of technology, and the trend of globalization.

Domestic violence in rural Serbia: Etiological-phenomenological approach

The aim of the paper is to point out the etiological-phenomenological dimension of domestic violence in rural areas of Serbia. Although it reflects all the general characteristics of domestic violence, in the etiological and phenomenological sense, domestic violence in rural areas also has certain specifics that are important for a closer definition of the necessary prevention measures. Based on research conducted in rural areas around the world, the authors indicate in the paper that the causes of domestic violence in rural areas are the same in Serbia, namely traditional patterns of behavior, adopted cultural norms and geographical isolation. All forms of violence (physical, psychological, emotional and sexual) are present, as well as in urban areas of Serbia. However, violence in rural areas is much less often reported, due to the normalization of violence, the fact that everyone in small areas knows each other, shame, the presence of strong stereotypes, etc. The perpetrators of domestic violence coming from rural areas are most often men (in 90% of cases) and are mostly violent. Victims of domestic violence in rural areas are most often women, characterized by economic dependence, lack of personal income or property, the fact that they have nowhere to go. An additional problem is the lack of official statistical data on domestic violence in rural areas.

Research on the Application of Northwest Traditional Patterns in Modern Design under the Background of Big Data

Abstract Northwest traditional patterns possess a rich history and a distinctive artistic style, offering immense potential for innovative design applications. This paper delves into the integration of these conventional motifs into contemporary design frameworks. Initially, we employ the semantic differential method to select vocabulary for the perceptual assessment of Northwest traditional patterns when incorporated into modern designs. We analyze the components of the design samples and utilize the partial least squares method to construct a correlation model between the perceptual assessment vocabulary and the design elements. This approach facilitates a detailed correlation analysis between the application of Northwest traditional motifs and their perceptual evaluation, leading to the formation of associative links between the imagery vocabulary and design features. Subsequently, we define theme, symbol, composition, and color as independent variables, with audience preference as the dependent variable, to conduct a multiple regression analysis. This analysis explores the impact of these dimensions on audience preference. The findings indicate that the significance levels of theme, symbolism, composition, and color are all below 0.05, demonstrating a positive influence on audience preferences. Notably, symbolism, with a regression coefficient of 0.356, exerts the most substantial impact on audience preference. The established correlations between design elements and perceptual evaluations, alongside the analysis of design dimensions’ influence on audience preferences, provide valuable insights for the application of Northwest traditional motifs in modern design contexts.

Research on Cultural and Creative Design Based on Modal Theory and AIGC Technology

Abstract Modal theory is an important basis for studying cultural inheritance and dissemination. This paper combines modal theory and AIGC technology to innovate the cultural and creative design method. Through the calculation and analysis of modal recognition degree and other indicators, the modal factors that should be applied or innovated in cultural and creative design are identified. Using this paper’s cultural and creative design method, the analysis of Liangzhu culture and Shu brocade patterns is conducted separately. In the Liangzhu culture modal recognition, the higher recognition is pattern representation, morphological representation, and artifact function, and the lower recognition is color representation, aesthetic concept, material representation, and philosophical thought. The order of the popularity of the modal elements of pattern representations is from high to low: abstract pattern > animal pattern > geometric pattern. The traditional patterns of Shu brocade are in the order of color expression: A (0.209) > subject matter content, D (0.206) > surface features, C (0.162) > organization, B (0.148) > aesthetic meaning, F (0.138) > symbolic meaning E (0.137). When using AIGC to assist cultural and creative design, it is necessary to take into account the modal factors with smaller weight values to ensure that the final design can be loved by the public and achieve the dual goals of cultural heritage and economic benefits.

ATTITUDES OF ARABIC LANGUAGE TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN JERUSALEM TOWARDS TEACHING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

This study is concerned with identifying the attitudes of teachers in secondary schools in Jerusalem towards teaching critical thinking, and identifying the educational strategies they actually use to develop it. The importance of this study is highlighted in identifying teachers’ attitudes towards teaching critical thinking, and in encouraging teachers and students to liberate themselves from the traditional patterns prevailing in education, and replace them with educational patterns based on the use of thinking teaching programs, to develop students’ latent skills and energies. The researcher asked the following main question: “What are the attitudes of teachers in secondary schools in Jerusalem towards teaching critical thinking skills?” The following two sub-questions branched out from this main question: The first: What are the educational strategies that teachers use to develop critical thinking skills? The second: Do teachers intend to use educational strategies that develop critical thinking, or do they use them by chance and without planning? To answer the research questions, the researcher chose a purposive sample of teachers in secondary schools in Jerusalem. The qualitative approach was used in the study, and the research tool was discussion in the focus group. The study was conducted in the first semester of the academic year 2022/2023. After collecting the data, the researcher analyzed it qualitatively, and arrived at the following main results: There are some strategies that teachers use to develop critical thinking skills, and their use varies from one teacher to another, and teachers’ attitudes towards enhancing critical thinking skills range between desire and lack thereof, and whoever has the desire does not have the knowledge and skill. And experience, as well as the teachers’ use of some strategies for teaching critical thinking is unintentional and unplanned. The study concluded with a number of recommendations based on the results of the study, the most important of which are: that the responsible authorities in the Ministry of Education prepare special training programs for teachers in using strategies for teaching critical thinking skills, and that other studies be conducted on critical thinking strategies within the framework of various academic subjects, and the last recommendation is that Other studies are being conducted that link inclinations toward critical thinking and its skills, due to the importance of inclinations toward critical thinking in acquiring and developing skills

Christianity and Law in the Enlightenment

The European and American Enlightenment movements of 1688 to 1815 transformed the Western legal tradition, notably in areas of constitutional law, criminal law, private law, legal and political theory, and legal education. Particularly the American and French Revolutions effected massive and sometimes violent changes to traditional patterns of law, politics, and society — separating church and state and placing a new premium on democratic rule of law by the general will and public opinion. These legal reforms were grounded in part in new Enlightenment liberal beliefs in deism, rationalism, individualism, and nationalism — ideas that came to strong expression in the many new constitutions and codes issued in the later 18th and 19th centuries. Even so, Enlightenment legal reformers often worked side by side with Christian legal reformers, and they reconstructed traditional Christian legal teachings more than they created laws anew. As a consequence, until the mid-19th century, there was more continuity than discontinuity between Enlightenment-based legal teachings and practices and those of the Western Christian tradition. The Enlightenment, however, provided new secular logics for many of the traditional laws that it adopted and then adapted, and these secular teachings would later fuel the more strident post-Christian, if not anti-Christian, legal campaign of modern liberalism.
