Weak implicative filters in quasi-ordered residuated systems
Authors: Romano Daniel A.
Published: May 2021

The concept of residuated relational systems ordered under a quasiorder relation was introduced in 2018 by S. Bonzio and I. Chajda as a structure A = 〈A, ·,→, 1, R〉, where (A, ·) is a commutative monoid with the identity 1 as the top element in this ordered monoid under a quasi-order R. The author introduced and analyzed the concepts of filters and implicative filters in this type of algebraic structures. In this article, the concept of weak implicative filters in a quasi-ordered residuated system is introduced as a continuation of previous researches. Also, some conditions for a filter of such system to be a weak implicative filter are listed.
Cartografiando la impunidad: El silencio en la comunicación
Authors: Olmedo Neri Raul Anthony
Published: May 2021

El ejercicio periodístico en México se ha desarrollado desde inicios del siglo xxi en un contexto hostil que lo ha limitado durante el proceso de producción de información a nivel local, regional y nacional. Por ello, en el presente texto he construido una base de datos histórica que abarca el periodo entre 2000 y 2018 sobre los asesinatos a periodistas en México a partir de una serie de categorías que se desarrollaron mediante el método de análisis del contenido. En este sentido, a partir del objeto de estudio se han hecho diferentes caracterizaciones de dichos delitos a partir de variables como el territorio, el tipo de eventos que cubrían los periodistas, la edad y los procesos de privación de la vida y la eficacia del Estado mexicano en esclarecer los delitos. Con esto, se observa que el contexto adverso afecta no sólo en la producción de información, sino en los procesos de libertad de expresión y democracia en México.

Fidelidad y traición: reflexiones a partir de un montaje de Samuel Beckett
Authors: De la Parra Emoé
Published: May 2021

¿Es posible que un movimiento tan corrosivo y evanescente como el trazado por Beckett haya podido devenir en canon? ¿Qué significa eso? ¿Es deseable que así lo sea? Si es un canon, ¿qué tipo de fidelidad solicita? ¿A qué paradigma o valor debe su potestad? ¿Qué constituye su traición y desde dónde es juzgada como tal? La posibilidad de que la transmutación en lenguaje escénico de un texto pueda o deba ser considerada como una traición al material original cobra, en la obra de Beckett, un interés particular en virtud de la enorme tensión que este tópico ha generado, tanto de carácter teórico como en el marco del quehacer teatral, a raíz del celo exacerbado de parte de los detentores de los correspondientes derechos. Mediante el análisis puntual de las peculiaridades estilísticas y las tesis filosóficas de Samuel Beckett se reflexiona sobre la legitimidad de dicho celo y se cuestiona su pertinencia contrastándolo, a manera de ejemplo, con un montaje particular del relato “Primer amor”. Este artículo es una llamada de atención hacia las distorsiones que se generan al acatar irrestrictamente un canon estético. Es, también, un relato detallado de algunos de los procesos implicados en un montaje escénico.
The strengths and pitfalls of Edmodo to Indonesian EFL learners: Student and teachers’ voices
Authors: Safriyani Rizka , Khasanah Siti Uswatun
Published: May 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic impacted Indonesia's education system to change the teaching and learning activities rapidly. Edmodo is one of the Learning Management System (LMS) platforms widely used for English teaching and learning in Indonesia. Previous studies about Edmodo focus on the positive impact of Edmodo on the student's competence and performance. However, few studies discuss the pitfalls of Edmodo in EFL settings. A survey design was employed through the administration of the questionnaire. This survey research aims to investigate the strengths and the pitfalls of Edmodo to Indonesian EFL learners, particularly in the university context. Fifteen university students and ten lecturers were involved in the survey. The study results indicate that students and teachers have the same opinion about the strengths of Edmodo in terms of practicality and efficiency. However, a different opinion occurs on the use of Edmodo to complement face-to-face activity. Some teachers agree that Edmodo could not facilitate collaborative learning, but some lecturers said it was possible to do collaborative learning. Furthermore, students and teachers stated that the weaknesses of Edmodo need a good internet connection, especially for the quiz. This research, therefore, contributes some empirical insights into the use of Edmodo in English language teaching.
Behind the trend of Englishing the business names in Aceh, Indonesia: A postcolonial analysis
Authors: Usman Jarjani , Faridah Nurul , Mulia Mulia
Published: May 2021

This study critically analyzes the recent trend of Englishing shop names in Aceh province. Borrowing Bhabha’s postcolonial theory, this study attempted to uncover the shop owners’ perceptions of privileging English and marginalizing local languages, even though their customers are mostly local. Data collection was by taking pictures and interviewing 20 owners of the shops, four females and 16 males. Results show that the 120 shop names in Banda Aceh and surrounding it are in English, modified English and Indonesian ordering, hybridized English and Indonesian ordering, hybridized English Acehnese language and English, English and English ordering, and mixed owner’s names and English ordering. They voluntarily mimicked the Western culture by using English names because they believe that English is marketable, modern, practical, flexible, familiar, and short for shop branding, while the local language looks not modern, unpractical, and weird. In conclusion, most shop owners in the two districts in Aceh negotiate the Western hegemony for the economic benefits.

MODIFICATION OF HAND HOLE VALVE IN 10 KG CAPACITY MINI GASIFIER MACHINE
Authors: Koeshardono Fachri
Published: May 2021

Coal is one of the fossil fuels generally is that sedimentary rocks can ignite, formed from organic deposits. Along with the depletion of reserves of fossil energy sources, there is a coal energy conversion technology that is the gasification process. Gasification is a thermos-chemical conversion process from solid material to gas fuel that can be used for various needs. Tools for the gasification process are called gasifiers, one type of which is a fixed bed gasifier. A fixed bed gasifier is a gasification system using a number of solid fuels (coal / biomass) through which air and gas can pass either up or down. This type is the simplest type used on a small scale, this gasifier tool is usually small and often called a mini gasifier. Generally, there are major gasifier mini parts namely; hopper, reactor, water storage, steam drum, cyclone separator, spliter, and blower. Mini gasifier has a problem in the hand hole valve which is in the reactor section where the hand hole valve is difficult to open and close or impractical because it uses as many as eight bolts so that the alignment of the bolt so that the bias is closed tightly, it is necessary to improvise a new design on the hand hole valve deal with the problem. Two alternative designs were made to determine the right solution, design A in the form of an acetyline gas valve and design B in the form of a modification of the valve that was pre-installed on the reactor. Hand hole B valve design was chosen as a solution to handle this problem.

NK cells and Lipoxin A4 promote resolution of eosinophilic inflammation after nasal allergen challenge
Authors: Poirot Anh , Wacht Guillaume , Christine Lehalle , Saas Philippe , Frossard Nelly , Geny Bernard , Blay Frederic de , Barnig Cindy
Published: May 2021

Background: Resolution of inflammation is now recognized as a tightly
regulated and active process. Lipoxins (LX) are lead members of a larger
family of specialized pro-resolving mediators with unique
anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving properties. Recent studies
implicated natural killer (NK) cells in the resolution of allergic
airway inflammation, notably in promoting eosinophil apoptosis. The aim
of the study was to better understand the pro-resolving actions of NK
cells and LXA4 during allergic eosinophilic airway inflammation.
Methods: 20 subjects with grass pollen allergic rhinitis were included.
A nasal provocation test with either a single grass pollen allergen
threshold dose or diluent was used. Nasal lavage fluid and cells were
collected at baseline and at different time points after challenge. For
in vitro assays, eosinophils were incubated with NK cells. Results: We
observed that NK cells were recruited to the nasal mucosa shortly after
the initiation of the allergic inflammatory response. This recruitment
correlated with eosinophilic inflammation. In vitro assays demonstrated
that direct contact and a combined action of CD56bright and CD56dim NK
cells were needed to promote autologous eosinophil apoptosis. We
furthermore observed that local LXA4 production correlated with the peak
of neutrophil nasal mucosal infiltration, suggesting a potential role of
neutrophils in LXA4 biosynthesis during the early phase of the allergic
inflammatory response. Last, LXA4 appeared as essential to inhibit the
in vitro release of eosinophil superoxide triggered by NK cells.
Conclusion: Together, these findings indicate a synergistic role for NK
cells and LXA4 in the resolution of allergic eosinophilic inflammation.

Aim A robust and user-friendly software tool was developed for the
prediction of dopamine D2 receptor occupancy (RO) in patients with
schizophrenia treated with either olanzapine or risperidone. This tool
can facilitate clinician exploration of the impact of treatment
strategies on RO using sparse plasma concentration measurements. Methods
Previously developed population pharmacokinetic (PPK) models for
olanzapine and risperidone were combined with a PD model for D2 receptor
occupancy (RO) and implemented in the R programming language. MAP
Bayesian estimation was used to provide predictions of plasma
concentration and receptor occupancy and based on sparse PK
measurements. Results The average (standard deviation) response times of
the tools were 2.8 (3.1) and 5.3 (4.3) seconds for olanzapine and
risperidone, respectively. The mean error (95% confidence interval) and
root mean squared error (RMSE, 95% CI) of predicted versus observed
concentrations were 3.73 ng/mL (-2.42 – 9.87) and 10.816 (6.71 –
14.93) for olanzapine, and 0.46 ng/mL (-4.56 – 5.47) and 6.68 (3.57 –
9.78) for risperidone and its active metabolite (9-OH risperidone). Mean
error and RMSE of RO were -1.47% (-4.65 – 1.69) and 5.80 (3.89 –
7.72) for olanzapine and -0.91% (-7.68 – 5.85) and 8.87 (4.56 –
13.17) for risperidone. Conclusion Treatment of schizophrenia with
antipsychotics offers unique challenges and requires careful monitoring
to establish the optimal dosing regimen. Our monitoring software
predicts RO in a reliable and accurate form.
Backup ventilation during neurally adjusted ventilatory assist in preterm infants
Authors: LEE JUYOUNG , Parikka Vilhelmiina , Lehtonen Liisa , Soukka Hanna
Published: May 2021

Objective: To analyze the proportion of backup ventilation during
neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) in preterm infants at
different gestational ages and to analyze the trends in backup
ventilation in relation to clinical deteriorations. Methods: A
prospective observational study was conducted in 18 preterm infants born
at a median (range) 27
(23–34) weeks of gestation with
a median (range) birth weight of 1,100 (460–2,820) g, who received
respiratory support with either invasive or noninvasive NAVA. Data on
ventilator settings and respiratory variables were collected daily; the
mean values of each 24-hour recording were computed for each respiratory
variable. For clinical deterioration, ventilator data were reviewed at
6-hour intervals for 30 hours prior to the event. Results: A total of
354 ventilator days were included: 269 and 85 days during invasive and
noninvasive NAVA, respectively. The time on backup ventilation (%/min)
significantly decreased, and the neural respiratory rate increased with
increasing postmenstrual age during both invasive and noninvasive NAVA.
The median time on backup ventilation was less than 15%/min, and the
median neural respiratory rate was more than 45 breaths/min for infants
above 26 weeks of gestation during invasive NAVA.
The relative backup ventilation significantly increased prior to the
episode of clinical deterioration. Conclusion: The proportion of backup
ventilation during NAVA showed how the control of breathing matured with
increasing gestational age. Even the most immature infants triggered
most of their breaths by their own respiratory effort. An acute increase
in the proportion of backup ventilation anticipated clinical
deterioration.

between primary and secondary cases of narcolepsy.
Production and molecular composition of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia thailandensis biofilms
Authors: Okaro Udoka , Mou Sherry , DeShazer David
Published: May 2021

Biofilm communities cause many infectious diseases. Biofilms are diverse
microbial species found either attached to a surface or aggregated into
an extracellular matrix. Bacteria form biofilms as a default mode of
growth or as a response mechanism to environmental conditions like
stress. As such, biofilm strains are increasingly virulent causing a
wide variety of chronic persistent diseases, are typically
antibiotic-resistant and known to improve host mortality rate. Most
biofilms contain polysaccharides, proteins, extracellular DNA (eDNA),
RNA, and water. Determining and quantifying the major components of a
biofilm may indicate an appropriate treatment for biofilm eradication.
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative, motile bacillus typically
found in surface water and/or soil in endemic regions. It is the
etiologic agent of melioidosis and is capable of forming both surface
adherent and air-liquid interface biofilms (pellicle) in broth cultures.
This study evaluates the components of established biofilms using B.
pseudomallei and Burkholderia thailandensis, a closely related
nonpathogenic species. Using assays, fluorescent dyes and microscopy, we
quantified the major components of biofilms produced by five genetically
related B. pseudomallei strains and compared them to B. thailandensis
E264. Our data show that biofilm produced by the B. pseudomallei 1026b
derivatives and B. thailandensis E264 significantly differ. The
molecular composition of the surface adherent biofilm is similar to the
molecular composition of the air-liquid pellicle. Finally, the eDNA
quantity biofilm produced by JW270 which bears a CPS I deletion, is
significantly increased in comparison to 1026 and Bp82 biofilm.
(Non)Parallel developmental pathways to vertebrate appendage reduction
Authors: Swank Samantha , Sanger Thomas , Stuart Yoel
Published: May 2021

Appendages have been reduced or lost hundreds of times independently
during vertebrate evolution. This suggests that selection routinely
favors appendage reduction. How often are the same developmental and
genetic pathways used during loss by independent lineages? We reviewed
the developmental and evolutionary literatures of appendage reduction in
12 genera spanning fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. We found that
appendage reduction and loss resulted from modified gene expression in
each case but one. However, the genes for which expression was modified
were rarely shared. Our findings suggest that adaptive loss of complex
traits might proceed relatively easily through changes in gene
expression along multiple developmental pathways.
Comment on: Safety and feasibility of hemodynamic pulmonary artery pressure monitoring using the CardioMEMS device in LVAD management
Authors: Breda J
Published: May 2021

The called burden of cardiac heart failure (CHF) on healthcare systems
and economies remains large and a major factor contributing to this
burden is the high hospital admission rate for acute decompensated heart
failure. These repeated heart failure hospitalizations (HFH) not only
exert a high burden on healthcare systems, but also impact patient
quality of life and have been associated with impaired prognosis and
reduced life expectancy. The need for remote monitoring has become
extremely important, mainly based on devices capable of measuring
intracardiac filling pressures. If we assume that hemodynamic congestion
precedes clinical congestion, the hemodynamic monitoring could be able
to detect early signs of congestion and enables clinicians to intervene
in a pre-symptomatic phase avoiding hospital admission. Dr. Veenis JF
and colleagues present the results of implanting the CardioMEMS device
in 10 patients who underwent heartmate 3 implantation. The authors
describe the study design based on an earlier publication by the same
author. The authors argue that the use of this device will allow the
monitoring of patients pre, during hospitalization and after
implantation, with a possible reduction in the number of readmissions
for allowing the diagnosis and treatment of complications related to
ventricular failure and volume overload.

University autonomy and internal control
Authors: Binh Dao Thanh
Published: May 2021

Desk research is conducted to discuss the inevitability of implementing the global trend of university autonomy in Vietnam and the need to strengthen internal controls to minimize university management risks. Comparative analysis is applied to analyze and evaluate the results of piloting university autonomy in different Vietnamese universities to identify the shortcomings and challenges. This study highlights the necessity of applying internal controls in Vietnamese universities to minimize management risks and strengthen accountability, as well as the necessity of completing the legal framework on university autonomy and internal controls to meet the requirements of comprehensive higher education reform in Vietnam. Research on internal control issues in Vietnam are mainly focused on commercial banks and state-owned corporations with only a few such studies in higher education given that the legal requirements for such controls in higher education has only been advanced since 2014. Our research is thus novel currently and offers solutions to the problems of implementation.

El tráfico ilegal de armas ha constituido una amenaza para la seguridad integral del Estado Ecuatoriano, atribuyéndose como piedra angular a la forma de cómo las armas son adquiridas de manera ilegal a través de las fronteras de las provincias de Esmeraldas, Carchi y Sucumbíos. Fuerzas Armadas, como misión constitucional realiza acciones que llevan a neutralizar estas actividades dentro de un marco de la legalidad, equipamiento, entrenamiento e inteligencia; impidiendo los efectos asociados que se presentan por esta asimetría. Las estadísticas de armas incautadas durante el último quinquenio reflejan el incremento de esta actividad ilícita, muchas de ellas derivadas de los procesos de desarme, desmovilización y reintegración de excombatientes de las fuerzas irregulares de Colombia.
COORDINACIÓN Y COMPLEMENTARIEDAD ENTRE INSTITUCIONES DEL ESTADO: UN DESAFÍO EN EL MARCO DE LOS NUEVOS ENTORNOS DE LA SEGURIDAD INTEGRAL
Authors: RAMÍREZ SANDOYA (+) RONIER
Published: May 2021

El presente artículo analiza la relevancia en el empleo coordinado y complementario de las instituciones del Estado en respuesta a eventos que exigen un enfoque integral frente a contextos de elevada incertidumbre y factores no esperados. El objetivo es mostrar la importancia de la interagencialidad en el cumplimiento de las directrices correspondientes de las instituciones, enmarcadas en sus competencias, previniendo la agudización de factores de riesgo y amenaza, y trabajando preventivamente en la neutralización de potenciales efectos negativos para el país y sus ciudadanos. Este trabajo constituye un estudio de caso específico del empleo de las Fuerzas Armadas en el control de la pandemia de la COVID 19, bajo la modalidad de interagencialidad con otras instituciones del Estado mediante la consolidación de sus líneas de acción operativa y táctica, reduciendo la velocidad de la propagación de la enfermedad, en la jurisdicción del Comando Operacional 4 “CENTRAL”. Las operaciones ejecutadas se derivaron del cabal cumplimiento de la estrategia desarrollada por el Comando Conjunto de las Fuerzas Armadas, alineada a varios principios de la conducción política de la defensa y materializadas en la ejecución de las Órdenes de Operaciones No. 1 y No. 2 del Plan de Contingencia elaborado para enfrentar la COVID 19. El hallazgo principal constituye el manejo profesional y la responsabilidad social de las Fuerzas Armadas, en cumplimiento de la Agenda Política de la Defensa de Ecuador, mediante la coordinación con los organismos de control de los diferentes cantones y provincias bajo esta jurisdicción. La reflexión teórica se basa en la acción integral - concepto central – y su empleo pragmático por parte del C.O 4 “CENTRAL”. La conclusión preliminar alude a la necesidad de afianzar formas operativas militares, de manera continua y simultánea con guías específicas para la acción coordinada, complementaria y unificada y el logro de impactos positivos de las operaciones, como en el caso de los resultados alcanzados durante el período de pandemia COVID 19.

Authors: GUERRÓN GUTIÉRREZ PEDRO JOSÉ , JARAMILLO PAZMIÑO LUIS ALEXANDER
Published: May 2021

Este trabajo investigativo se ha propuesto analizar la transformación del ejército de algunos países como efecto de los avances tecnológicos en el campo militar y la acelerada multiplicación de los sistemas de comunicación, cada vez más rápidos y eficaces. Este progreso ha dado lugar a la aparición de nuevas formas de amenazas y riesgos para la población. Los ejércitos, que son los llamados a mantener la Seguridad Nacional, también están en un proceso denominado “Transformación Militar”, debiendo incluir una tecnología disruptiva para poder hacer frente a estas nuevas amenazas asimétricas e híbridas. Ante este escenario, es necesario comprender la configuración y significado de lo que se denomina Revolución de Asuntos Militares como un preámbulo a la Transformación Militar requerida.

Published: May 2021

El Ejército Ecuatoriano ha iniciado un proceso de transformación institucional, tendiente a actualizar sus capacidades y procedimientos para afrontar de manera eficiente los retos del nuevo escenario mundial. El presente estudio pretende determinar, mediante una aproximación analítica, los lineamientos correctos para el alcance de una verdadera transformación, examinando los aspectos primordiales que deben ser abordados, desde la definición misma de lo que es transformación y sus particularidades, repasando el nuevo escenario mundial, y estableciendo finalmente las fortalezas y debilidades institucionales que deben ser potencializadas o corregidas, a fin de orientar el proceso transformador por el sendero más conveniente. En este artículo se evidencia también la necesidad de direccionar la transformación del Ejército de forma coordinada con el nivel superior de comando y con el poder político,  que  asegurarán  los  recursos  indispensables  para  el  proceso  encaminado,  y  comprende,  asimismo,  un análisis crítico de los primeros pasos que deberán ser emprendidos, tendientes a fortalecer este trascendental camino promovido por la institución armada.
LES ENJEUX DES NOUVELLES MENACES GLOBALES POUR L’ARMEE DE TERRE FRANÇAISE
Authors: BOMONT NICOLAS
Published: May 2021

Los equilibros estratégicos, políticos, económicos, tecnológicos, energéticos y militares son cuestionados, lo que genera nuevos riesgos para la paz. La competencia estratégica global, sin inhibiciones, altera el equilibrio y es portadora para el futuro de riesgos de incidentes y una escalada militar incontrolada. Se trata de una crisis del multilateralismo y un declive del derecho ante un retorno a las relaciones de fuerza, en el contexto de múltiples rupturas: estratégicas, políticas, jurídicas, tecnológicas.La necesidad de asociaciones, ante todo asociaciones regionales, es urgente hoy. También se trata de actuar en nuevas áreas de enfrentamiento. La ciberdefensa, la defensa espacial, la inteligencia artificial son fundamentales en la actualidad.La gran probabilidad de un retorno a las operaciones militares de alta intensidad refuerza la necesidad de un ejército capaz de participar en combates aún más duros.El objetivo actual es, por tanto, fortalecer el ejército, sus mujeres y sus hombres, así como su equipamiento, su entrenamiento y su funcionamiento.

Initially, the definition of education in the German pedagogical tradition will be analysed. Next, the University of Cologne's (Germany) concept of teacher education, including the practical semester as an innovative approach, is reviewed. Finally, a comparison between this new approach and the traditional concept of education will be performed, where we conclude that adapting education to economical and political needs can lead to serious risks of its quality.Key words: Education, teacher education, practical semester, competence, performance
Joy in Learning
Authors: Cronqvist Marita
Published: May 2021

Both in research and in the Swedish curricula, positive emotions such as joy, pleasure and desire are said to stimulate learning. However, it is not clear what the meaning of joy is in relation to learning. The purpose of this phenomenological study is to gain knowledge about the essential meanings of the phenomenon joy in learning for children aged 9 and 12 years in compulsory school. The questions are as follows: What meanings constitute the phenomenon joy in learning in the current context? What implications do the findings have for teaching? The study is phenomenological and is based on interviews with or written stories by the participating children. The findings indicate how joy stimulates learning and emerges when children understand and ‘own’ their learning process. Teachers are important as ‘facilitators’ for joy in learning through being supportive and inspiring. Joy in learning during lessons is related to joy and friendship during school breaks. Teachers’ decisive importance for joy is discussed in relation to various modalities of pedagogical contact. Conclusions can be drawn that school breaks need attention from a learning perspective and that children need teacher support to understand their learning process.

НЕКОТОРЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ ПРАВОВОЙ СИСТЕМЫ
КОРОЛЕВСТВА РЮКЮ В XVII–XIX вв.
Authors: Пустовойт. Е.В.
Published: May 2021

В статье анализируются особенности правовой системы и юридической
практики королевства Рюкю с XVII в. по XIX в. в части наказаний, которые
полагались за различные виды преступлений. В силу того, что королевство
находилось в вассальных отношениях с Японией в лице клана Сацума, правовая система Рюкю в целом подверглась влиянию юридической практики и
правовых установлений феодальной Японии, однако исполнение наказания
по некоторым видам преступлений имело свои особенности и определялось
спецификой присущих Рюкю законодательных традиций.

Authors: Руденко М.К.
Published: May 2021

В статье представлены результаты комплексного анализа косторезных изделий янковской культуры поселения Черепаха-7. Автором представлена
развернутая классификация изделий, основанная на зафиксированных морфологических признаках предметов, которая с учетом этнографических
параллелей орудий и результатов функциональной диагностики следов их
сработанности иллюстрирует, что костяные орудия были задействованы
в самых разных сферах хозяйственно-производственной деятельности на
территории поселения. Технологические характеристики изученных артефактов демонстрируют наличие традиционных этапов косторезного производства в технологическом наборе рассматриваемого населения: от отбора
сырья и его подготовки до окончательного оформления изделий. На основании пространственной локализации орудий предпринята попытка проследить функциональные зоны на территории поселения.

ОБЩАЯ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА ЖИЛИЩ БОХАЯ (ПО МАТЕРИАЛАМ АРХЕОЛОГИЧЕСКИ Х ПАМЯТНИКОВ КНР)*
Authors: Юймэн Хэ
Published: May 2021

В статье рассматриваются общие характеристики жилищ государства Бохай (698–926 гг.) на основе анализа материалов с изученных бохайских селищ и городищ на территории КНР, где на данный момент раскопано более пятидесяти жилищ на десяти памятниках. В целом бохайские жилища разделяются на два типа: полуземлянки и наземные жилища. В свою очередь полуземлянки можно разделить на три вида: с очагами, с канами и с комбинированной отопительной системой. Конструкции наземных жилищ похожи, в них всегда имелись каны, форма которых могла значительно варьироваться. Кроме того, в работе обсуждается происхождение бохайских жилищ и намечаются перспективы их дальнейшего исследования.

ПОЛЕВЫЕ ЭТНОГРАФИЧЕСКИЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ КАК ЛИЧНЫЙ ОПЫТ (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ДНЕВНИКОВ ЖЕНЩИН-ИССЛЕДОВАТЕЛЬНИЦ)
Authors: Хаховская Л.Н.
Published: May 2021

В статье прослежены научные биографии и судьбы трех исследовательниц в области социокультурной антропологии: Дины Иохельсон-Бродской,
Варвары Кузнецовой, Ульяны Поповой. Исследование проведено в рамках
конструктивистского подхода, раскрывающего социальную и личностную
обусловленность гуманитарного знания. Выявлено, что условием познания этнографической реальности является непосредственное, чувственное
восприятие культурных границ. Эта различающая оптика выявляет имплицитные установки дисциплинарной эпистемологии и обусловливает описательные и классифицирующие стратегии исследования. Показано, что
в полевых дневниках исследовательниц отражен индивидуальный эмоционально и ценностно нагруженный полевой опыт, который отсутствует в
академических текстах.
