Aim/purpose – Social undermining actions in workplaces may adversely affect employee’
performance and job satisfaction, eventually leading them to leave the organization. This
study aims to examine whether the level of job passion exhibited by employees targeted
by social undermining impacts their inclination to remain employed at the organization.
Design/methodology/approach – The participants are 401 employees in the civil de-
fense industry. Data have been analyzed using the SmartPLS and SPSS programs.
Findings – The findings have revealed that job passion moderated the impact of social
undermining on employee turnover intention. Specifically, harmonious job passion has
been found to reverse the effect of social undermining on turnover intention, while ob-
sessive passion has been found to aggravate this effect.
Research implications/limitations – In addition to taking caution to prevent social
undermining, managers should also support employees’ harmonious passion while
avoiding obsessive passion to mitigate the negative impact of undermining behaviors on
turnover intention.
Originality/value/contribution – The main aim of this study is to extend the current
literature by demonstrating that social undermining, regardless of its source, results in an
increased desire to leave the organization. Additionally, the study emphasizes the im-
portance of harmonious passion as a potential tool for mitigating this effect while also
suggesting that obsessive passion may further intensify an employee's intention to quit.
Keywords: job passion, social undermining, turnover intention, moderation analysis.

FAT COALITION AND CROWN-PRESIDENTIALISM: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF INDONESIA’S CONCURRENT ELECTIONS
Authors: Susanto Mei , Harijanti Susi Dwi , Manan Firman , Dramanda Wicaksana , Hernawan Muhammad Yoppy Adhi
Published: February 2025

Concurrent elections in Indonesia, combining the executive (President) and legislative elections (DPR, DPD, DPRD), were introduced to strengthen the presidential system by fostering a stable and effective government. Supported by the Constitutional Court's Decision No. 14/PUU-XI/2013 and Decision No. 55/PUU-XVII/2019, this design aims to leverage the coattail effect, where a president’s electoral success boosts legislative support for their party. However, the 2019 and 2024 elections reveal a pseudo-coattail effect, where the president's party failed to secure a majority in the legislature. Consequently, oversized coalitions were formed, such as President Joko Widodo’s inclusion of opposing parties like Gerindra in 2019, and President Prabowo Subianto's coalition expansion in 2024, including parties that previously supported rival candidates. These developments weaken opposition, promote transactional politics, and foster crown-presidentialism, where presidential power becomes overly dominant, undermining checks and balances and democratic accountability. This article critiques the concurrent election system, examining how it exacerbates legislative fragmentation, weakens local election integrity, and entrenches excessive executive power. It proposes alternative models, such as separating national and local elections and introducing midterm elections for the legislature, to address these issues. These reforms aim to strengthen Indonesia’s democratic presidentialism and prevent excessive consolidation of power.
DETERMINANTES DA CORRUPÇÃO MUNICIPAL NO SETOR EDUCACIONAL BRASILEIRO ENTRE OS ANOS DE 2011 E 2014*
Authors: dos Santos Marcelo Solon Xavier , Bentes Diniz Marcelo
Published: February 2025

O objetivo principal deste artigo é analisar a corrupção no setor educacional no Brasil. Ao encontro desse objetivo, foi construído um índice de corrupção no setor educacional para os municípios brasileiros e a partir dele foram verificados seus determinantes em um modelo econométrico, com as variáveis explicativas dispostas em quatro dimensões: (i) institucional; (ii) administrativa e gestão pública; (iii) transparência pública, e (iv) geográfica, econômica e social. A principal referência de dados foram os Relatórios do Programa de Fiscalização de Municípios da Controladoria-Geral da União (CGU). Entre as principais evidências empíricas encontradas, corrobora-se a hipótese de que municípios com menor nível de desenvolvimento e escolaridade e, por conseguinte, com controle social mais deficiente são os mais vulneráveis Ã ocorrência de irregularidades com recursos públicos. De outra parte, os resultados obtidos confirmam a importância do fomento Ã transparência da gestão pública como mecanismo inibidor da corrupção e como ferramenta de auxílio ao seu controle.

Authors: Hernández-Arias Carmen Tatiana , Peláez-Higuera Johanna
Published: February 2025

La adquisición de vivienda es considerada un elemento clave para garantizar la calidad de vida, sin embargo, este evento se ve afectado por diversas variables que pueden facilitar o dificultar la consecución de esta meta como lo es la tasa de interés. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el impacto de las fluctuaciones en las tasas de interés en los desembolsos de créditos de vivienda en Colombia durante el periodo 2018-2023, evaluando tanto el mercado de viviendas de interés social (vis) como el de viviendas No vis. La metodología empleada incluye la división de los datos en tres periodos distintos: prepandemia, pandemia y pospandemia, con un total de 64 datos analizados. A través de estadísticas descriptivas y análisis correlacionales, se evidencia el cambio en las tasas de interés y su impacto en la cantidad de desembolsos para ambos tipos de viviendas. Los resultados revelan que la tasa de interés tuvo una mayor influencia en los desembolsos tipo vis durante el periodo de pandemia, lo que plantea importantes implicaciones para la política monetaria y el mercado hipotecario en Colombia, especialmente en la evaluación de los efectos de una tasa de interés elevada a largo plazo.

Published: February 2025

Machine learning is increasingly prevalent in various fields, including beekeeping, where it has been applied to honeycomb analysis through Semantic Segmentation of images. This study evaluates different neural network architectures and encoders using the Intersection over Union (IoU) method to segment Apis mellifera honeycombs. A comparative analysis of semantic segmentation techniques was conducted, revealing advancements in the field with the SegNet architecture combined with the MobileNet encoder for feature extraction. We present a new dataset of 10 comb cell images, which we combine with the images from the DeepBee dataset in our experiments. Our results surpass the state-of-the-art results for comb cell segmentation in the DeepBee dataset.

Published: February 2025

This paper presents the development of a computer vision application based on the YOLOv8 network, designed to assist the navigation of autonomous vehicles on rural roads, particularly those found in sugarcane fields. The application employs instance segmentation to differentiate between navigable and non-navigable areas and detect obstacles such as pedestrians, vehicles, and other potential hazards. This information is used to generate an occupancy map that helps the navigation planner identify the safest and most efficient routes. The system was trained on a dataset containing 1.018 images, and the results demonstrate that instance segmentation significantly enhances the precision and safety of autonomous navigation in complex rural environments. The proposed approach is compatible with the ROS2 framework, using its structure for data integration and enabling real-time decision making.

Aedes aegypti is still one of the main concerns when it comes to disease vectors. Among the many ways to deal with it, there are important protocols that make use of egg numbers in ovitraps to calculate indices, such as LIRAa and Breteau Index, which can provide information on predictable outbursts and epidemics. Also, there are many research lines that require egg numbers, specially when mass production of mosquitoes is needed. Egg counting is a laborious and error-prone task that can be automated via computer vision-based techniques, specially deep learning-based counting with object detection. In this work, we propose a new dataset comprising field and laboratory eggs, along with test results of three neural networks applied to the task: Faster R-CNN, Side-Aware Boundary Localization and FoveaBox. With FoveaBox, we achieve a median mean absolute error of 6.854. Finally, we also discuss the main difficulties and possibilities for future research.

Authors: Forattini Jansen Victor , Teixeira Martins Emanuel , Souza Lima Yasmin , De Oliveira Silva Flavio , Moreira Rodrigo , Ferreira Rodrigues Moreira Larissa
Published: February 2025

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have proven to be highly effective in solving a broad spectrum of computer vision tasks, such as classification, identification, and segmentation. These methods can be deployed in both centralized and distributed environments, depending on the computational demands of the task. While much of the literature has focused on the explainability of CNNs, which is essential for building trust and confidence in their predictions, there remains a gap in understanding their impact on computational resources, particularly in distributed training contexts. In this study, we analyze how CNN architectures primarily influence model accuracy and investigate additional factors that affect computational efficiency in distributed systems. Our findings contribute valuable insights for optimizing the deployment of CNNs in resource-intensive scenarios, paving the way for further exploration of variables critical to distributed learning.

Authors: Pereira João Flávio Martins , Mari João Fernando , Furtado Pinto Silva Leandro Henrique
Published: February 2025

Spinal disorders affect a significant portion of the population and are a growing concern for healthcare authorities due to their potentially debilitating consequences. In this context, computer vision techniques offer a promising path for rapid diagnosis, but they often require large datasets to train robust and reliable models. However, public datasets that can support the training of such models are scarce. To address this, we explored the application of advanced data augmentation strategies, namely CutMix, CutOut, and MixUp, combined with standard augmentation techniques to improve the performance of deep learning models in classifying X-ray images into three categories: (i) healthy, (ii) scoliosis, and (iii) spondylolisthesis. We applied these techniques by training the ResNet-50, Vision Transformer (ViT), and Swin Transformer V2 architectures, evaluating their effectiveness for this task. Our experiments revealed that the combination of ViT architecture and CutMix augmentation achieved the highest accuracy, with a performance of 0.9882.
Application of Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Methods in Fetal MRI
Authors: Souza Vidal de Negreiros Ana Claudia , Giraldi Gilson , Werner Heron
Published: February 2025

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common type of medical image acquisition that can also be used to diagnose early diseases. In this sense, fetal MRI is a non-invasive method to generate high-quality fetal volumes and to perform important clinical analysis. However, image denoising is necessary in many situations to ensure accurate evaluations. Thus, approaches such as Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Methods (DDPM) have emerged and reached great results in this kind of task. In this work, we applied two DDPM-based approaches (an original and an improved one) besides two self-supervised deep models in a fetal MRI dataset. The results showed that, for the used fetal MRI dataset, the improved DDPM, named I-DDPM outperformed the counterparts considering two evaluation metrics for image quality, the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).
GÊNEROS EM DIÁLOGO EM UALALAPI
Authors: Massingue Salomão
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo decorre dos estudos de que nos temos ocupado em Teoria de Gênero. Ao colocar a possibilidade da sátira da épica ou inscrição da tragédia na narrativa, o artigo discute o diálogo dos gêneros literários em Ualalapi, de Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, como estratégia narrativa que tem sido frequente na ficção moçambicana contemporânea. A escolha da obra e do tema justificam-se por dois motivos: i) por se tratar da obra de um escritor cuja escrita tornou-se um dos nossos objetos de análise no campo dos estudos literários, em geral, e na literatura moçambicana, em particular, e, ii) por se tratar de uma obra que parece refletir melhor o diálogo dos gêneros num só texto. Trata-se de uma reflexão problematizadora, embasada em Teorias de Gênero, com enfoque nos estudos de HAUSER (1993), HEGEL (2001), REIS (2003), ROSENFELD (2006) e FROW (2007). Para tanto, a personagem é tomada como categoria central da análise, focalizando as ações e os modos de caraterização do protagonista, a partir da análise semiótica e da hermenêutica literária.
NARRATIVAS AUDIOVISUAIS GEEK/NERD/OTAKU
Authors: Souza Samuel Possidonio de , Oliveira Rosemary Lapa de
Published: February 2025

As narrativas audiovisuais geek/nerd/otaku – que são histórias derivadas de quadrinhos (HQ), animação, anime, produção cinematográfica em cartoon ou live action – estão amplamente difundidas pelo globo na indústria do entretenimento. Com a cyber cultura e as plataformas de streaming (principalmente nesse período de Pandemia da Covid-19), essas produções tomam a fronte do cenário internacional. No entanto, são mais que imagens em sequências, pois abordam e acusam questões singulares, sociais e universais. Esse artigo tomou como objetivo compreender a dimensão das narrativas audiovisuais geek/nerd/otaku na pós-modernidade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de revisão narrativa de literatura, articulando dois eixos de discussão: (I) A pós-modernidade e as narrativas audiovisuais, contando com autores como Hobsbawn (1995), Giddens (1991), Marques (2000), Gushiken e Hirata (2014), Bauman (1998; 2001), Corso e Corso (2006) e Bettelheim (2016); (II) Identidade e Identificação, articulando os autores Bauman (1999; 1998;2005), Freud (1974; 2006a; 2006b), Hall (2006) e Lacan (2003; 1998). É notório que na pós-modernidade, o sujeito se encontra em uma crise, as identidades são fluidas e há espaço para identificação subjetiva como via de escape do mal-estar. As narrativas audiovisuais geek/nerd/otaku são alguns dos meios de amparo à subjetivação na pós-modernidade.
DESCONSTRUÇÃO DO SER-MÃE
Authors: Oliveira Moura Natália , De Jesus Lopes Bruna Rafaelle
Published: February 2025

Uma das funções sociais, justificada por questões biológicas, que ainda é designada à mulher, é ser mãe, de maneira que muito se associa a completude do ser-mulher à maternidade, ou seja, ser mulher por inteiro está relacionado à gestação e a uma espécie de “condição eterna” da maternidade. Tendo isso em vista, o presente trabalho visa analisar a desconstrução do sentimento materno proveniente de uma romantização configurada em torno da maternidade, no improviso “Darluz”, de Marcelino Freire, presente no livro BaléRalé (2003). A personagem que narra descaracteriza a construção social da relação de maternidade, evidenciando a pouca relevância que dá à responsabilidade a qual lhe é designada e a ausência de amor por seus filhos, pelo simples fato de não os enxergar como seus. Ela gera e seu parto é para os outros. Assim, considerando o conceito de corpo sem órgãos (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 1997), vê-se, no texto freiriano, como o corpo feminino estilhaça uma hierarquia funcional dos órgãos, causando o abalo daquilo que é predeterminado por instâncias controladoras (LOURO, 2008), as quais incidem sobre a mulher e seu corpo e se potencializam, sobretudo, pela condição de subalternidade.
Encontrar-se no desvio

Published: February 2025

Partindo das conceituações de Joyce McDougall sobre perversão, desenvolvidas no livro As múltiplas faces de Eros, analisaremos personagens, principalmente mulheres, do livro Laços de Família de Clarice Lispector, a partir das distintas ocorrências do olhar. Na primeira parte, acompanharemos, no conto “Laços de família”, a mudança da relação entre Catarina e Severina após o inesperado novo contato corporal entre ambas e a mudança na capacidade da filha olhar a mãe. Na segunda parte, veremos a garota do conto “Preciosidade” e a figuração do olhar que não vê o outro, o olhar perverso. Na terceira e última parte, seguiremos outras personagens buscando construir a relação do desvio do olhar com as adicções das personagens, de modo a perceber o trabalho doméstico e a busca incontrolável pelo amor, entre outros, como os alvos dos desvios.
Herói trágico em Édipo Rei de Sófocles
Authors: Mamedes Rosilene Felix , Ribeiro Prisciane Pinto Fabrício
Published: February 2025

Este artigo tem como objetivo tecer uma análise apreciativa da categoria do herói trágico na tragédia Édipo Tirano, de Sófocles. Para isso, examinou-se fragmentos dessa tragédia, a partir do que Aristóteles, em sua Poética, postula como característica do herói trágico, cotejando-o com o que Frye (2014) aborda no ensaio intitulado como: crítica histórica: Teoria dos modos, em que apresenta este herói na categoria de modo mimético elevado, ressaltado em relação ao humano, mas submisso ao ambiente. Para uma visão mais profunda dessa categoria, vale salientar que a tragédia sofocleana inicia-se com uma intervenção do povo a Édipo, tendo em vista a peste que assola Tebas. Com o desenvolvimento da práxis trágica, o tirano, em sua boa intenção, encontra-se na encruzilhada de circunstâncias que apenas o ligam a feitos nefastos. Nesse momento, a obra recai na reflexão de dois atos tomados como execrável ao cidadão da Grécia clássica: o parricídio – assassinato do próprio pai, e o incesto – ato da cópula sexual com um membro da família, que, no caso de Édipo, se concretiza com o casamento do herói com sua mãe, Jocasta. São esses dois pontos que sustentam a ordenação das ações – sýstasis tón pragmáton – cujo liame, necessariamente, se fortalece na ânsia de descobrir o real motivo do mal gerado sobre a cidade. A composição dos fatos recai na figura de Édipo como mediador das relações entre homens e deuses, bem como centralidade da maldição familiar. Para obter-se êxito nesta investigação, partiu-se de um mapeamento das ações que levam o herói à derrocada; analisou-se as cenas que confrontam a posição elevada do herói com a mácula gerida pela sua existência e aliou-se a categoria do herói trágico com a teoria dos modos que sustem o caráter humano de Édipo. Os caminhos trilhados nessa pesquisa seguem uma metodologia de cunho bibliográfico e descritivo.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo o estudo da vida e da obra-prima de Natércia Campos, que em vida realizou numerosas publicações de seus escritos, ganhando inúmeros prêmios literários e desempenhando um papel social de inigualável contribuição para com a Literatura Cearense e, por conseguinte, para com a Literatura Brasileira. Sem embargo, apesar de sua imensa relevância, não é tão conhecida pelo público leitor como cremos que deveria ser. Assim, nossa pesquisa – de natureza básica, de abordagem qualitativa e de objetivo exploratório – tem como intuito apresentar elementos na obra naterciana que servem como relicários da cultura oral, das tradições e da memória do Sertão na Literatura, tal como prevê o título. Desse modo, nos ancoramos teoricamente em algumas/alguns estudiosas/os basilares das áreas aqui tratadas; dentre elas e eles: Timbó (2011), Campos (2011), Silva, (2016) e Chaves (2022). Concluímos que pesquisas como esta, mesmo sendo uma revisão bibliográfica, são impreteríveis para que conheçamos e reconheçamos quem foi essa beletrista ofuscada e que somente nos últimos anos tem sido relevada tal como sempre foi: uma difusora de nossa cearensidade e de nossos saberes, tradições e culturas ancestrais.

Published: February 2025

The peroneal artery perforator flap is widely used to repair deep defects in the distal lower leg and ankle. However, the success of flap transplantation depends on the accurate location of the peroneal artery perforators, which can be a challenge due to potential vascular damage and anatomical variations. This study utilizes digital subtraction angiography and high-frequency ultrasound to clarify the anatomical features of the peroneal artery and its perforators and accurately locate these perforators, thereby improving preoperative design and clinical outcomes. Peroneal artery perforator sequential flaps were employed to repair the wounds and donor sites, with the second donor site sutured directly. A total of 36 peroneal artery perforators were identified in seven patients, with an average of 5.14 perforators per patient. The majority of these perforators (47.22%) were concentrated in the middle segment of the lower leg. All flaps underwent tension-free primary closure and survived successfully, presenting a smooth appearance, a fine texture, and a color similar to that of the surrounding skin. Only a linear scar was left in the secondary donor site, which did not affect the overall appearance of the limb. This technique can accurately localize peroneal artery perforators, optimize the design of peroneal artery perforator sequential flaps, and facilitate the success of the surgery and postoperative esthetic recovery.
High-quality welding of copper and aluminum by angled laser irradiation and insert metals
Authors: Okamoto Yasuhiro , Yamada Yuki , Okada Akira , Miyake Masaki , Yamamura Takeshi , Nagasaki Katsutoshi , Nishi Norio
Published: February 2025

Copper is an important material in order to use electricity effectively, and aluminum is also an attractive material to perform lightweight construction. Laser welding of copper and aluminum is required, and there are some reports to weld copper and aluminum firmly by laser irradiation from the aluminum side. On the other hand, laser irradiation from the copper side requires high power density to generate a keyhole, which causes the strong convection of molten aluminum into copper. Thus, brittle intermetallic compounds with rich aluminum result in the deterioration of joining strength. Angled laser irradiation enables mild heat input to the aluminum side, and the combination of angled and superposed irradiation of blue and near-infrared (NIR) lasers achieved a remarkable increase of breaking strength. However, the breaking strength is still lower than the base materials. Therefore, insert materials between copper and aluminum plates were investigated by the angled irradiation of blue and NIR lasers from the copper side. The breaking strength with insert materials showed higher values in the order of titanium mesh, nickel foil, and nickel mesh, and its value with the nickel mesh was close to the tensile strength of aluminum in a cross tensile test. Further improvement of breaking strength is possible by inserting the nickel mesh between copper and aluminum plates in the case of angled irradiation of blue and NIR lasers even from the copper side.

The experiment was conducted during April to September, 2024 at C.V.Sc and A.H., CAU, Aizawl, Mizoram, India to determine the effect of feeding Moringa leaf powder (MLP) on antioxidant status of early weaned Large White Yorkshire piglets. For the study, a total of 18 clinically healthy piglets weaned at 28 days were categorized as Control (C), Treatment-I (T1) and Treatment-II (T2) with 6 (six) piglets in each group. The control group was fed basal feed and T1 and T2 groups were fed basal feed with incorporation of MLP @ 1% and 2%, respectively. The trial was carried out for a period of 42 days. Blood was collected on day 28 (i.e day of weaning), day 42, day 56 and day 70 from each piglet of all groups for estimating the major antioxidant parameters. The antioxidants estimated were superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malanaldehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). The activities of SOD varied from 0.75±0.013 to 2.01±0.005 IU ml-1 amongst the experimental groups, whereas activities of CAT ranged from 1.48±0.02 to 2.32±0.012 IU ml-1. The GPx activities were in the range of 231.93±0.49 to 234.01±0.018 (pg ml-1) and MDA concentration was in the range of 218.47±0.015 to 254.31±0.013 (ng ml-1). The study established that dietary inclusion of Moringa leaf powder improved the antioxidant arsenals of the weaned piglets, which in turn led to reduced weaning stress and resulted in their better growth. Further, data obtained in the study pertaining to SOD, CAT, GPx and MDA may be used as reference values for any future investigation.

Authors: Domínguez Carrasco María D. R. , Salo Tapio , Keskinen Riikka , Suomi Johanna
Published: February 2025

This study compared the effects of using bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) of high (BBFH) or low (BBFL) metal content with conventional mineral superphosphate (SP) fertilisation on dietary exposure of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb), in Finland, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, and Spain. We estimated changes in the metal content of the following crops: wheat, barley, oat, rye, potato, carrot, sunflower seed, and maize following 100-year scenarios of fertilization with the different products. To estimate changes in chronic dietary exposure to metals via food, we used available national data of food consumption and metal content in target crops. Our results showed low changes to current chronic dietary exposure after using BBFs. Exceedance of the maximum allowed levels of Cd and Pb in food (EU 2023/915) was more rare with low-Cd BBF than with SP mineral fertilizer. Only the BBFH slightly increased the dietary exposure to Cd, although similarly to SP. In conclusion, the studied BBFs did not increase dietary exposure to heavy metals, especially compared with the use of conventional SP mineral fertiliser.

Authors: Triyanto Endang , Awaludin Sidik , Felis Zuhariah
Published: February 2025

Background: Autonomy is a fundamental ethical principle within the nursing profession. It plays a significant role in patients' decision-making processes when seeking nursing interventions. In the context of hypertensive individuals, autonomy pertains to their capacity to manage and regulate their hypertensive condition. This encompasses the independent decision-making related to medications, lifestyle adjustments, and overall care.
Method: The method utilized for this analysis is the Walker & Avant approach (2011). The concept analysis was conducted by consulting literature on autonomy sourced from Google Scholar and Preplexity databases. The search keywords employed were "concept of autonomy" and "hypertension sufferers".
Results: The concept analysis followed the 8-step method outlined by Walker and Avant. This systematic approach, which involves identifying the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of autonomy, leads to the development of an operational definition. Autonomy is defined as the capacity of an individual to make decisions independently, without external influence, to manage themselves and take responsibility for the outcomes of those decisions.
Conclusion: the results of the analysis it was found that autonomy is very beneficial for hypertension sufferers because a person can make decisions, so that they have self-satisfaction, increased motivation and clear life goals. Autonomy grants nurses the freedom to make clinical decisions based on their professional knowledge and skills. Nurses can determine the best course of action for patients without having to wait for instructions from a doctor, while still being accountable for their decisions and ready to explain their actions within the context of ethics and law.

Traditional and Innovative Values in the Context of Artificial Intelligence Culture
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Belikova Evgeniya K.
Published: February 2025

The article considers the relationship between the culture of artificial intelligence (AI) and traditional and innovative values of modern society. It is noted that the division of values into traditional and innovative is conditional, since innovations develop on the basis of traditions, rely on them, and innovative values eventually acquire the status of traditional. Attention is focused on the fact that without the emergence of innovative values, only on the basis of traditional ones, the development of society and its culture is impossible. It is concluded that both traditional (patriotism, citizenship, service to the Fatherland, moral ideals, family values, creative work, mercy and mutual assistance, collectivism, preservation of historical memory, unity of the peoples of Russia, etc.) and innovative (information, knowledge, intellectual capital, virtual reality, education, science, ideas, creativity, initiative) values are based on AI systems. Digital mechanisms, AI, not having a value nature themselves, act as tools for the preservation, development and transmission of traditional values that are important for the social majority. Innovative values reflect new trends in social development; AI tools are also actively involved in their dissemination and transmission. The modern information space, an integral component of which is AI, presents great opportunities for the development of any values if they reflect the mentality of the people and correspond to the trends of social development. AI becomes a link between traditional and innovative values.

Published: February 2025

The presented article examines the philosophical problems of sports activity. The emphasis is placed on the fact that sport is not only physical activity, but also a complex phenomenon that encompasses many aspects of human life. Sport has a close connection with ethics, which considers issues of competition and fairness in the context of sport. Through the prism of axiology, we can better understand the value orientations that are formed through sports, how they affect our perception of the world and ourselves. Aesthetics helps to analyze the harmony and grace of athletes’ movements. The visual perception and entertainment of sports events play an important role in this context. Praxeology helps to understand the goals, motivation, and ideals that may be behind playing sports. Sport is also a social institution and is seen as an important element of the social structure that reflects and shapes social norms. Social philosophy can analyze the role of sports in strengthening social ties and belonging to a group. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that contradictory phenomena in modern sports are largely related to the ideological crisis of modern civilization.
Beyond the Mainstream: The Impact of Tumblr, Reddit and Other Niche Digital Platforms on Citizen Political Mobilization
Authors:   Patrice Lumumba Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Krisyuk Andrey I.
Published: February 2025

In the context of declining trust in traditional media and political institutions, digital platforms are becoming a new arena for political struggle. Niche social networks such as Twitch, Reddit, and Tumblr create unique ecosystems of interaction, where political messages can be distributed faster and in a more emotionally charged form. Studying their role in political campaigning is relevant, as these platforms allow you to directly address audience segments that are traditionally inaccessible through classic digital communication channels. Unique features of niche platforms, including their algorithms, content, and community specifics, allow them to become a powerful tool for shaping political views and engaging users in social and political processes. The author analyzes what factors make these networks important for modern political campaigns and how their use can affect the success of political institutions. The study is based on the analysis of existing cases and user behavioral data and platform tools. Twitch, Reddit, and Tumblr have become centers of meme culture, microtargeting, and aggregation of users with common interests. For political institutions seeking to adapt to these changes, it is important to understand how these networks influence the politicization of society, the strengthening of activism, and the dissemination of ideas from the bottom up. The study of this topic will help to institutionalize new methods of political agitation.

Authors: Putra Aditya Perdana , Harianto Harianto , Harmini Harmini
Published: February 2025

Nowadays consumers tend to substitute their habits in consuming cow milk into soy milk since it has reliability on health issue, taste, and healthy lifestyle. Referencing to prior researches, health consciousness and main theory of planned behavior (TPB) factors including attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influence consumer purchase intention. Researchers aimed to analyze health consciousness influence toward consumer purchase intention to cow milk and soy milk and formulate managerial implications to escalate consumer purchase intention to cow milk and soy milk. This research was conducted in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) area from October 2023 until April 2024 with 300 respondents. Researchers used voluntary response sampling as sampling method. Analysis methods used by researchers were descriptive analysis, structural equation modelling-partial least square (SEM-PLS) analysis, and importance performance matrix (IPMA) analysis. Results showed that health consciousness doesn’t influence purchase intention to cow milk significantly yet influences purchase intention to soy milk significantly. Otherwise trust, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control influence purchase intention to both milks significantly. Furthermore, consumer purchase intention toward cow milk and soy milk can be escalated through improving performances of trust and subjective norms. For trust, producer needs to promote producer reputation, keep up the production standards, and design informative and attractive packaging. For subjective norms, producer needs to conceptualize informative and attractive advertising, conducting sales promotion, public relation, personal selling, and direct marketing.
On the meaning-making function of metaphors: language as a machine and as a living organism from the perspective of cognitive linguistics
Authors: Kosecki Krzysztof
Published: February 2025

Od 17 i 18 wieku, metafora maszyny, która ma swoje źródła w naukach ścisłych, stanowi podstawową formę ludzkiej percepcji rzeczywistości, w tym także języka. Artykuł stawia tezę, że językoznawstwo kognitywne wykazuje jej metodologiczną nieadekwatność. Paradygmat ten przyjmuje, że model funk-cjonalny, oparty na biologicznej metaforze żywego organizmu, jest lepszym sposobem opisu złożoności języka niż modele formalno-logiczne, które opierają się na metaforze maszyny.
The power of laughter and laughter in power: the presence and purpose of Merlin’s laughter in the English medieval romance Prose Merlin, and the French Roman de Silence
Authors: Pasiut Karolina
Published: February 2025

„The Roman de Silence” oraz „Prose Merlin” to teksty wpisujące się w tradycję średniowiecznych romansów rycerskich, w których postać nadwornego maga Merlina spełnia szczególnie ważną funkcję królewskiego doradcy, stratega, czy jasnowidza. Zarówno francuski trzynastowieczny romans jak i angielska piętnastowieczna proza, opisują jak Merlin śmieje się w sposób niekontrolowany oraz początkowo nie zrozumiały dla innych. Jego śmiech jest reakcją często nie na miejscu oraz wywołuje skrajne emocje wśród innych bohaterów. Jednakże, wszystkie takie sceny spełniają specjalnie przez niego opracowane funkcje, różne dla obydwu prac. Artykuł podejmuję próbę przedstawienia oraz porównania scen śmiechu Merlina w dwóch utworach, argumentując, że nie należy traktować ich jedynie jako elementu humorystycznego. Autor twierdzi, że śmiech Merlina znacząco przyczynia się do jego ogólnej charakterystyki oraz ról przyjmowanych w dwóch narracjach.

Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is emerging as an appealing therapeutic option for patients with vasovagal reflex syncope. This review examines key aspects of CNA, including patient selection, procedural aspects and mid-term effects. We critically evaluate procedural results from recent studies and address ongoing challenges, such as the need for standardized procedural protocols and harmonized postprocedural data collection. In addition, we outline current gaps in knowledge concerning long-term pathophysiological effects of the procedure, in particular regarding ventricular arrhythmia susceptibility and exercise capacity.
