Ukraine has been embroiled in an increasing war since February 2022. In addition to Ukrainians, the Russo‑Ukraine war has affected Poles due to the refugee crisis and the Taiwanese, who are facing a potential crisis with China. We examined the mental health status and associated factors in Ukraine, Poland, and Taiwan. The data will be used for future reference as the war is still ongoing. From March 8 to April 26, 2022, we conducted an online survey using snowball sampling techniques in Ukraine, Poland, and Taiwan. Depression, anxiety, and stress were measured using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress (DASS)‑21 item scale; post‑traumatic stress symptoms by the Impact of Event Scale‑Revised (IES‑R) and coping strategies by the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Brief‑COPE). We used multivariate linear regression to identify factors significantly associated with DASS‑21 and IES‑R scores. There were 1626 participants (Poland: 1053; Ukraine: 385; Taiwan: 188) in this study. Ukrainian participants reported significantly higher DASS‑21 (p < 0.001) and IES‑R (p < 0.01) scores than Poles and Taiwanese. Although Taiwanese participants were not directly involved in the war, their mean IES‑R scores (40.37 ± 16.86) were only slightly lower than Ukrainian participants (41.36 ± 14.94). Taiwanese reported significantly higher avoidance scores (1.60 ± 0.47) than the Polish (0.87 ± 0.53) and Ukrainian (0.91 ± 0.5) participants (p < 0.001). More than half of the Taiwanese (54.3%) and Polish (80.3%) participants were distressed by the war scenes in the media. More than half (52.5%) of the Ukrainian participants would not seek psychological help despite a significantly higher prevalence of psychological distress. Multivariate linear regression analyses found that female gender, Ukrainian and Polish citizenship, household size, self‑rating health status, past psychiatric history, and avoidance coping were significantly associated with higher DASS‑21 and IES‑R scores after adjustment of other variables (p < 0.05). We have identified mental health sequelae in Ukrainian, Poles, and Taiwanese with the ongoing Russo‑Ukraine war. Risk factors associated with developing depression, anxiety, stress, and post‑traumatic stress symptoms include female gender, self‑rating health status, past psychiatric history, and avoidance coping. Early resolution of the conflict, online mental health interventions, delivery of psychotropic medications, and distraction techniques may help to improve the mental health of people who stay inside and outside Ukraine.

Znaczenie umów o popieraniu i wzajemnej ochronie inwestycji dla bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych na przykładzie wybranych krajów Bałkanów Zachodnich

Background: The subject of the study is the dependence of foreign direct investment (FDI) and the macroeconomic situation in economies in transition, as well as the assessment of the importance of Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) concluded by these countries, for the inflow of foreign direct investment. The research was conducted in four countries in the Western Balkans: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia, and Serbia in the years between 2001 and 2019. Research purpose: The aim of the article is to assess the dependence of foreign direct investments (FDI) and the macroeconomic situation in economies in the transition period, and to assess the significance of Bilateral Investment Treaties concluded by these countries for the inflow of foreign direct investments. The research fills the knowledge gap on both the importance of BITs for FDI and the importance of FDI for the macroeconomic situation. Methods: In order to assess the importance of foreign direct investments for the economy, the correlation between FDI and indicators describing the macroeconomic situation was estimated, including GDP growth, GDP per capita and macroeconomic stability. Later, the focus is on BITs as potential tools influencing the willingness of foreign investors to invest in a developing country, providing protection for foreign investments based on BITs. Therefore, it was investigated whether an increased inflow of FDI occurred after the conclusion of the BITs. The data was obtained from World Bank sources, UNCTAD and EBRD databases, as well as databases of local institutions in each of the surveyed countries. Conclusions: The conclusions of the research suggest that, on the one hand, the inflow of FDI was not a significant factor in economic development in the analyzed region, and on the other hand, BITs did not constitute a significant tool influencing the investment decisions of foreign investors

In recent years, the scientific community has called for improvements in the credibility, robustness and reproducibility of research, characterized by increased interest and promotion of open and transparent research practices. While progress has been positive, there is a lack of consideration about how this approach can be embedded into undergraduate and postgraduate research training. Specifically, a critical overview of the literature which investigates how integrating open and reproducible science may influence student outcomes is needed. In this paper, we provide the first critical review of literature surrounding the integration of open and reproducible scholarship into teaching and learning and its associated outcomes in students. Our review highlighted how embedding open and reproducible scholarship appears to be associated with (i) students' scientific literacies (i.e. students’ understanding of open research, consumption of science and the development of transferable skills); (ii) student engagement (i.e. motivation and engagement with learning, collaboration and engagement in open research) and (iii) students' attitudes towards science (i.e. trust in science and confidence in research findings). However, our review also identified a need for more robust and rigorous methods within pedagogical research, including more interventional and experimental evaluations of teaching practice. We discuss implications for teaching and learning scholarship.

Metamorphic Necropolitics. Deadly Othering in European East– West Power Relations

In this chapter, we discuss the metamorphic character of the operation of necropolitics (Mbembe 2003, 2016) within the East– West power dynamics in Europe, along the dimensions of gender, sexuality, and race. We focus on how necropolitics operates both across East– West boundaries and within contexts that have themselves been operationalised as necropolitically sacrificable within East– West power dynamics. We want to show how necropolitical practices can deem certain populations sacrificable within one context while – in the same, yet further differentiated, context – those same populations can mobilise necropower to regulate life and make it unliveable for its sub- populations and other Others. We understand necropolitics as operating in tandem with biopolitics (Foucault 2003), with both forms of mobilisation of power operating at a population level and constituting ‘two sides of the same coin’ (Braidotti 2013: 9). Contemporary global and local politics are saturated with the management of populations through simultaneous processes of ‘making live’ (Foucault’s biopolitics) and ‘making die’ (Mbembe’s necropolitics), which – it could be claimed – take place either with some degree of asymmetry or one after the other (Majewska 2022). Through these processes, contemporary power structures are exposed, showing how the lives of some populations are deemed worthy of maintaining, while the lives of other populations are condemned to what Mbembe (2003: 40) calls the ‘status of living dead’, or even literal death. These simultaneous – or rather even intra- active (Barad 2003) – operations of biopower and necropower warrant in- depth analysis, in which any form of making live and any form of making die will be understood as mutually constitutive. Moreover, as shown by Gržinić and Tatlić (2014), the biopolitical and necropolitical operations of power are inherently embedded in the operations and reproduction of capitalism and neoliberalism, as saturated with current forms of racism, coloniality, extractivism, and democratic forms of governing.
