Development of the Educational Infrastructure of Territorial Public Self-Government as a Condition for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals of a Territory (On the Example of the Project “People’s University of Territorial Public Self-Government”)
Authors:   Limited Liability Company “SINERGIYA”, Safarov Suren
Published: May 2021

The current development of territorial public self-government in Russia is characterized by a discrepancy between the rates of quantitative and qualitative transformations in this area. For example, an increase in the total number of territorial public self-government bodies is accompanied by a decrease in the share of these organizations registered as a legal entity. The author identifies two reasons for the current situation. One of them is that the leaders of territorial public self-government do not realize their contribution to the achievement of sustainable development goals of the municipality and region. And this happens due to the fact that local governments do not carry out the necessary work with territorial public self-government in this area. The second reason is that the development of the educational infrastructure in this area as well as the managerial training level of the leaders of territorial public self-government does not allow these organizations to use the existing potential for the development of their organizations effectively. The government authorities equate bodies of territorial public self-government with “ordinary” non-profit organizations and, when conducting trainings, do not take into account their peculiarities as subjects of territorial development. The development of the educational infrastructure in the area of territorial public self-government can contribute to a qualitative change in the situation. In the course of preparation and implementation measures for the development of the educational infrastructure, government authorities need to take into account the specifics of territorial public self-government in comparison with other non-profit organizations. Leaders of territorial public self-government solve the problems of their territory development, therefore, it is extremely important for them to prepare and improve their qualifications in the field of territory development management. On the example of the implemented project “People’s University of territorial public self-government” the author suggests possible directions of management training for territorial public self-government leaders.

Published: May 2021

Traditionally, glycyrrhizic acid has been used to form polydentate complexes. For the first time in the presented paper, the complexation of the Plant’s Flavonoids (Quercetin (Qu) and its glycoside - Rutin (Rut)) with the novel Russian antiviral drug Camphecene (Camph) was investigated. The complexes obtained at different molar ratios were studied using UV/Vis spectroscopy. Formation of the host: guest complexes were registered: Qu and Rut molecular complexes (Camph+2Qu; Camph+2Rut) with a stability constant K = 3.3·108 M-2. Comparison of the binding constants of the obtained complexes shows that the efficiency of Camphecene complexation with the participation of flavonoids is more efficient than with the participation of triterpenoids. Besides, it was found that the complexes of Camphecene with the quercetin and rutin are soluble in water, in contrast to the complexes with triterpenoids, which makes it possible to increase the bioavailability of both Camphecene and flavonoids. The obtained results demonstrate the high potential of flavonoids Qu and Rut to the development of novel pharmaceutical forms using the example of Camphecene in the form of molecular complexes, as the novel forms of delivery.

Published: May 2021

The cation deficient complex oxides of (Ca/Sr)MoO4 - BiVO4 - Bi2Mo3O12 triple system are promising photocatalysts and pigments. Compounds with general formula of Ca1−1.5x-yBix+yФxMo1-yVyO4  and Sr1−1.5x-yBix+yФxMo1-yVyO4 were synthesized byconvention solid state technique in the range of 550–720 °C. Two wide regions of the solid solutions (ordinary and superstructured scheelite-type phases respectively) were found for each system. The diffuse scatering of homogeneous samples was investigated in the range of 190–1100 nm. Energy gaps calculated with linear approximation of Kubelka-Munk function decreases with bismuth and vanadium content.

VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS WORK AS A DETERMINING MARKER OF CIVIL SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE
Authors: Matviichuk Andrii
Published: May 2021

It analyses essential indicators of volunteering, volunteer work and the features of work conducted by volunteer organizations as an index of civic society development in Ukraine. The features of volunteer movements in Ukraine have been analyzed. It has been recognized that Ukrainian volunteer movement in 2014 become an unprecedented manifestation of public self-organization in its scale. The increasing of volunteer movement had been due to two chief factors: internal political crisis, that has led to the disbalance of the public administration systems, lack of quality management decisions, lack of resources, and external aggression which deepened the disbalance between the state’s ability to perform its functions effectively and ensuring the basic needs of the citizens. The crisis in the country and external influences had endangered the existence of Ukraine as a state, which has been received by its citizens as a personal challenge, as danger to their self-identification.
It has been demonstrated that volunteer organizations are an influential social institute that acts on a voluntary basis and brings the country income and also solves a number of socially important issues instead of the state administration.
In conclusion, volunteering is steadily becoming a foundation for civil society development. Without the work conducted by the volunteers it is hard to imagine NGOs and charities at all, the quality control over government and business becomes virtually impossible. Without volunteers there is not enough energy to fuel societal development, there’s not enough effort and time to help people in need, not enough creative potential for solving social problems.
ALGEBRA* VIOLENCE ALGEBRA CRATY
Authors: Chuiko Vadym , Atamanchuk-Angel Valerii
Published: May 2021

Almost all philosophy about the state system has concentrated on the authorities. Any function of the state can be represented as a superposition of the functions of violence / coercion. Ultimately, the state appears to be a kind of plurality of subjects with a definite crater power / coercion / violence operation on it.
The algebra of trust on the multiplicity of owners of themselves, endowed with free future, is each of them is only a part of nature, еру carrier of the part of the general human culture, and for their completeness, they have and understand the need for the Other. This is the philosophy of solving political, environmental, and climate challenges not through violent / voluntaristic methods, but by the recognition of sovereign rights and the search for ways to achieve sustainable development. Any cracy / power / coercion / violence must be separated from the models of society, the state. Public agreement is not an agreement with the abstract notion of the state, but an agreement with definite elected people who have gained the trust of those to whom they temporarily render their services. Contract is temporary, limited by period, with obligatory full responsibility of the parties. Scientific novelty. For more than two thousand years, long before Aristotle and Plato, European philosophical thought, reflecting on the structure of society, wanders in the labyrinths of kratia. Modern achievements of mathematics provide an opportunity to build ideal political objects, and a direct product of material and ideal government building. (Example of a trust algebra [4].)
UKRAINE ON THE WAY OF INTEGRATION TO THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
Authors: Zdioruk Serhij
Published: May 2021

The article analyzes the problems of political and religious influence of Russia on the formation of the Ukrainian state in historical retrospect and in modern conditions of hybrid war.
Europe wants to see the civilized Ukraine, based on the primacy of law, sustainable development, values of democracy and freedom for all citizens without exception. It is not only about political and economic aspects, but also about spiritual and cultural ones. Constituting the Local Ukrainian Orthodox Church is a powerful spiritual and ideological pillar of the Ukrainian State in building a democratic society, strengthening its image in the world. With the above in view and under the described situation the issue of fast integration of Ukraine into the European and world community becomes more urgent. Religion plays a significant role in this process, which is so important to regulate by the legislation. Thus we see the need for continued reform of the Ukrainian legal system starting from the fundamental political system governed by the Constitution of Ukraine, electoral laws and in particular the body of laws governing the fundamental rights and freedoms of the citizens of Ukraine. The article suggests some high priority measures aimed on creation of conditions for realization of integrative opportunities of religious factors. The proposals provide concrete and effective tools, the implementation of which is aimed at neutralizing the threats of «russkiy mir» in Ukrainian society and formulates recommendations for effective organization of political and legal mechanisms to protect national interests and strengthen national security of Ukraine.
THREATS TO THE SECURITY AS THE RELIGIOUS CHALLENGE OF THE POLITICAL STABILITY IN LATIN AMERICA
Authors: Tkach Oleh
Published: May 2021

The article examines the problems of the component s of the concept of threats to religious security, for example, which are transformed into concepts. Religion as a relatively independent socio-cultural reality needs protection from internal and external threats. Religious security is a system of conditions that ensures the preservation of the traditional religious system within the established norm that has historically developed. The problem of religious security was identified when the cases of anti-state, anti-social activities of religious associations became more frequent.
The preference was given to the method of political-system analysis, by which the common and distinctive characteristics of the basic components of soft power strategies were identified, reflecting existing political, public, information and other challenges for international relations and global development. Research of the problem by scientists. Religion in Latin America is characterized by the historical predominance of Catholic Christianity (40% of the world’s Catholics in the region), the growing level of Protestant influence, the presence of world religious. 69% of the population of Latin America are Catholics, 17% Protestants. Pentecost, Anglicanism as movements involve the middle class. The threat to religious security is that Latin America, as one of the centers of Catholicism in the world, is facing a huge ideological choice. On the one hand, it may return to the bosom of the Roman Catholic Church.
GENDER EQUALITY AND SOCIAL REGULATION OF PUBLIC LIFE: PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERSTANDING
Authors: Shevchenko Zoia
Published: May 2021

The aim of the article is to identify the ideological and cultural prerequisites for gender equality in society. Politics is the central battlefield of the social struggle for the rights of all gender groups, but in modern Ukraine the main gender group that has a real chance to achieve significant success in this struggle is women. This is evidence of the unfinished struggle for gender rights and gender equality in Ukraine. This struggle is an integral part of the liberalization of public life, which is rightly associated with the European dimension of Ukrainian national identity.
Bringing the level of social institutions closer to similar European models, on the one hand, has an integral part of achieving gender equality, on the other hand — it is necessary to achieve all other types of equality of Ukrainian citizens in their political rights. The issue of gender equality is most vulnerable when radical, fundamentalist attitudes are on the rise in society.
The democratic legal system of regulation of public life, which impartially ensures the observance of individual rights and freedoms of members of any communities and gender identities, is attacked both by supporters of traditional religious values and by representatives of the secular authoritarian system. In the case of Polish women’s protests, gender equality has become hostage to temporary political expediency in alliance with religious church interests, and in Ukraine, despite a favorable legal background, gender equality is hampered by a mixture of authoritarian pasts with a corrupt oligarchic political selection system.
DIGITALIZATION OF MEDICINE IN CONDITIONS MODERN OF SOCIETY
Authors: Krytskyi Oleh
Published: May 2021

The article provides a socio-philosophical analysis of trends in the digitalization of all spheres of human life, namely the medical field. Modern civilizational progress carries a number of challenges for humanity that require a response.
The author argues that this problem can be solved by investing the right amount of money and efforts. It is the protection of medical secrecy that should be the main goal in the implementation of digital medicine. Digitalization of medicine is not only a requirement of time, but also contributes to the effective provision of medical services. Today, paperwork should be a thing of the past. The transition of medical documentation to electronic format is one of the main tasks of digital medicine, which necessarily requires the creation of a digital medical platform. Thanks to it, there is a dynamic collection, in a systematic way, of electronic data on the patient’s health, which provides a rapid exchange of information. Today in Ukraine such medical information systems as — Helsi, Paracelsus, Polyclinic without queues, NEURON, MEDAIR, MedCore, MIA: Health, MedCar, EMCI, Selenium, MedCenter +, HeiTich, Lakmus, MedStar and many others which successfully join to e-Health MIC. As the practice of using these systems proves, they significantly optimize the interaction between patient and doctor, but so far these networks operate in Kyiv and large cities. Their implementation throughout Ukraine is a prospect. It has been proven that digital medicine is a process that provides interaction between doctor and patient through digital technologies; it is a necessary tool that removes barriers to interaction and communication in the global information environment. The main requirement for the digitalization of medicine is the optimization of people’s lives. Namely, this is the confidence that medical care will not just be provided in a timely manner, but can be counted on in real time. Another significant and important advantage of digitalization of medicine, as proved in the article, is the elimination of self-medication. That is, the digitalization of medicine can be seen as a professionalization of care that can be obtained at any time.
ON THE MEANING OF THE TERM “GOODNESS” AND THE NOTABLE FALLACY OF J. Е. MOORE
Authors: Derkach Vadym
Published: May 2021

There are counterarguments both to the objections of J. E. Moore’s argument “open question”: and to the statement of the question itself with the argument that it is impossible to reduce the essence of good (goodness) to objective characteristics (physical or metaphysical). It is shown that the meaning of the term “good” is not a concept, but a sign in a linguistic act, which indicates the relationship to a particular object in view of the accepted evaluation criterion, ie “good” means the actual evaluation (value of evaluation judgment). So it is pointless to look for an absolute measure of goodness by referring to any objective characteristics (as Moore argues), but there is also no “goodness” of goodness. The content of the evaluation criterion, on which the speaker relies, expressing his attitude to something as good is completely arbitrary and always relative. However, the adoption of a certain criterion is not neutral in terms of its consequences for those who accept such a criterion, because if such a criterion motivates actions that reduce the viability of the community that cultivates it, then the death of this community leads to the elimination of such criteria. Thus, communities are selected for mental attitudes, tested for compatibility with living conditions and competition in them for vital resources with other communities, for resistance to factors that destroy the mechanism of reproduction of the organized whole.
The presented considerations open the way for a reliable naturalistic substantiation of moral norms in the paradigm of evolutionary ethics.
Frecuencia de genes que codifican proteínas autotransportadoras serinproteasa de Enterobacteriaceae (SPATE) en cepas de Escherichia coli difusamente adherente (DAEC) provenientes de niños con y sin diarrea

Published: May 2021

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la frecuencia de seis genes que codifican proteínas autotransportadoras serin-proteasa de Enterobacteriaceae (SPATE) en aislamientos de Escherichia coli difusamente adherente (DAEC) provenientes de niños con diarrea (NCD, n=63) y sin diarrea (NSD, n=41) de Lima, Perú. Los NSD se consideraron como grupo control. Para la detección de los genes se estandarizaron 2 PCRs múltiples: triple A (sigA, pet, espP) y triple B (sat, pic, espC). En ambos grupos el gen SPATE más frecuente fue sat (39,7% de NCD y 41,5% de NSD), seguido de espP (20,6% y 9,7% en NCD y NSD respectivamente). Los otros genes se detectaron en proporciones inferiores al 10,0%, en el siguiente orden de frecuencia: pet, sigA, espC y pic, sin diferencias significativas entre los grupos. Se concluye que Sat es la SPATE más frecuente en cepas DAEC, y que estas cepas pueden poseer genes SPATE independientemente de si se aíslan en NCD o NSD.

Published: May 2021

To explore the ability to indirectly detect and attribute various operations conducted at a nuclear reactor using waveform data, we investigated the seismic signals recorded near the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Specifically, we processed seismic data collected from a single seismoacoustic station, WACO, near the HFIR facility, and employed a power spectral density misfit detector to identify signals of interest and associate the detections with operational events. Initial results suggest that this method provides a promising means of regularly detecting at least 19 unique operations. With additional station deployment and more comprehensive data logs, we anticipate that future analysis will offer an additional means to seismically monitor nuclear reactors (such as HFIR) health and performance more accurately.

Self‐medication patterns among Turkish university students
Authors: GURSUL Gamze , FİDAN Cihan , OKSUZ Ergun , KUT Altuğ
Published: May 2021

Objective: Self-medication is an important self-care practice that creates different fields for pharmaceutical companies and reduces the state's health costs and the time spent by the physician. This study aims to determine the prevalence of self-medication practice among university students in Turkey, along with the effective factors and self-medication practices.

Methods: With the aim of conducting a descriptive cross-sectional study, this study was conducted with the participation of 494 undergraduate students selected through a stratified random weight-proportional sample. The students were asked to fill in a self-report questionnaire form including introductory characteristics and self-medication practices. Analyses were carried out using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression.

Results: Of the participants, 64.4% (n=318) were female and 35.6% (n=176) were male. The mean age was 20.9 ± 2.0 (18-29) years. It was determined that 15.8% (n=78) of the participants were using a prescription medication continuously due to a chronic disease. The prevalence of self-medication at any time was determined to be 81.6% (n=403). The prevalence of self-medication was found to be 84.9% in females and 75.6% in males (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2-3.3, p=0.005). As a source of self-medication, 75.4% of the students (n=304) stated that self-medication drugs were previously prescribed by a physician. Of the participants, 27.5% (n=111) bought the medication by their own preferences and experiences. The most common self-medication symptoms of the participants were headache (90.8%) and common cold (59.8%). Other causes included muscle/joint pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspeptic complaints. Self-medication drug groups were in the form of analgesics in 95.9% (n=259) of females and in 93.2% (n=123) of males. This was followed by cold drugs (58.2%), myorelaxants (47.5%), drugs with vitamin or mineral ingredients (41.8%), respectively. The prevalence of antibiotic self-medication was found to be 9.5% in the self-medication group and 7.7% for all participants. The thought of mild disease (77.6%) ranked first among the reasons for preferring self-medication. The prevalence of patient information leaflet reading behavior was 82.2% in the self-medication group. Due to self-medication, 8.2% (n=33) of the students experienced a adverse-effect at any time. The students in the self-medication group believed that there would not be serious adverse-effects caused by the OTC drugs even if they caused adverse-effect (30.5%) or that they would not cause any adverse-effects at all (3.8%).

Conclusion : Self-medication is a common behavior among university students, with higher rates in females. Students practice this largely by relying on their previous experiences. They mostly prefer medicines previously given by their physicians for similar conditions. Opportunities must be used to inform people on OTC drugs.
Non-professionals on the professional stage: Aesthetics of the ordinary in the contemporary theatre and dance
Authors: Gordienko Elena I.
Published: May 2021

The article explores the tendency of inviting non-professional artists to contemporary theatre and dance performances. From the examples of the Rimini Protokoll, Jérôme Bel, Nicole Seiler, Tatyana Gordeeva, Vsevolod Lisovsky and Dmitry Volkostrelov performances it is shown how the participation of “ordinary” people serves aesthetic and ethical purposes of the stage directors and choreographers. Ordinary bodies, gestures and voices in contemporary theatre are valued as manifesting the extra-institutional identity of the participants, namely, a professional or social one, with which the spectators could easily identify themselves. The non-virtuosity of movements and speech, making mistakes and even fatigue, become specially constructed “signs of naturalness”. Participatory projects in which the main action is expected to be performed by the audience can be seen also as a performance with non-professional artists. The borders between artistic and non-artistic in such projects are blurred. Likewise, the community creation, the attention paid to other people and the inclusion of “everyday” life becomes its main aesthetic feature.

Authors: Pereira Patrícia Sandalo , Jorge Nickson Moretti , Nogueira Kely Fabrícia Pereira

Neste artigo, considerando o atual contexto sócio-político brasileiro, trazemos à tona temas como o empoderamento docente e a aproximação entre a Universidade e a Escola, enquanto desafios enfrentados no decorrer da formação inicial de professores de Matemática. Desse modo, ponderamos que o empoderamento docente evidencia possibilidades de uma possível autonomia em relação ao profissional professor (técnico, reflexivo e intelectual crítico). Quanto a aproximação entre a Universidade e a Escola, traremos as perspectivas de parceria na formação de professores, são elas: dirigida, oficial e colaborativa. Com essa compreensão, procuramos aproximar os contextos de formação à realidade do professor, buscando possibilidades reais de investigação, a partir da visão de unidade entre teoria e prática, pesquisa e formação, universidade e educação básica. Nessa perspectiva, o referencial teórico e metodológico traz, em seu bojo, a colaboração, a reflexão crítica e a produção de conhecimento vinculadas a sua natureza dialógica, o que nos possibilita a construção de um percurso em que tais ações sejam capazes de contribuir para a profissionalização do professor, de modo a viabilizar o aprimoramento de saberes necessários para a busca de caminhos e respostas aos inúmeros desafios e necessidades de sua ação pedagógica, perspectivando um sujeito em estado de consciência crítica e engajado na transformação de sua realidade. A partir dessas discussões, as análises levaram-nos a concluir que é necessário que a universidade propicie a esses profissionais a compreensão de seu verdadeiro papel social, na tentativa de compreender-nos criticamente em relação aos valores e as práticas que atuamos.
Resenha – A deseducação do negro
Authors: Benedicto Ricardo Matheus
Published: May 2021

A obra de Carter Goodwin Woodson – The Miseducation of the Negro – publicada originalmente 1933 uma das bases da educação afrocêntrica, conforme Molefi Kete Asante, foi traduzida no Brasil e publicada em 2018 com o título A Deseducação do Negro. Neste livro Woodson nos ensina que ao acessar o sistema formal de educação os afroestadunidenses são submetidos, na verdade, a um processo de doutrinação eurocêntrica que os leva a ignorar e desprezar seu povo. Diante deste cenário, o trabalho de Woodson também nos mostra somente uma educação baseada na experiência histórica dos africanos no continente e nos Estados Unidos é capaz de livrá-los deste encarceramento mental.
A educação em tempo integral na meta 6 do plano estadual de educação do Pará

Published: May 2021

Este artigo é fruto de análises sobre a política de implantação da escola de tempo integral na educação brasileira a partir de direcionamentos do governo federal e do governo estadual paraense a partir do Plano Estadual de Educação do Pará (PEE-PA). A investigação se configurou como pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, realizada por meio de revisão bibliográfica e de pesquisa documental, tendo como objetivo geral analisar o Plano Estadual de Educação do Pará (Lei nº 8.186/2015) e a implementação da sua Meta 6. O aporte teórico-metodológico deste estudo se inscreve no campo em que as políticas públicas são processo e produto que envolvem articulações entre textos e processos, com negociações constituídas de valores, ideologias, poder e contradições. Tem abordagem no ciclo de políticas proposto por Stephen J. Ball e Mainardes (2011), ao considerar o processo de formulação de políticas como um ciclo contínuo no qual as políticas são formuladas e recriadas. Para efeito deste artigo aproximamo-nos da perspectiva da análise do contexto e da produção do texto ao examinar o conteúdo da política e das proposições que a fundamentaram, os objetivos declarados nos documentos oficiais, bem como as ideias e conceitos explicitados nos Planos de Educação e resoluções aprovadas no estado do Pará. O estudo revelou que as concepções de tempo integral do PEE/PA são frágeis e não oferecem segurança teórico-metodológica para a política pretendida, além disso as estratégias declaradas e os procedimentos adotados não foram suficientes para atestar o sucesso e o alcance da Meta 6 no estado do Pará.

This work was designed for the production of geopolymer based lightweight aggregate (LWA) using industrial by-products. Combination of fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) were used as precursors, whereas, combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were used as activator. Small amount of sodium bicarbonate was also used for surface hardening and early strength development. Pellets of dif- ferent sizes were crafted manually and cured by microwave radiations just for 5 minutes. The physico- mechanical properties of produced pellets (LWA) were discussed in light of: morphology, density, water absorption, specific gravity, porosity, aggregate impact value, and particle crushing strength. The prop- erties of LWA were also compared with literature reported synthetic LWAs cured with different tech- niques. The water absorption and specific gravity of LWAs were within the specified range provided by ACI standard. Mechanical strength properties briefed that the produced LWAs were strong enough to resist compressive load comparable to natural LWAs and many other synthetic LWAs. Thus, proposed curing method, microwave irradiation, has been found to be a sustainable and fast curing technique than conventional energy-intensive curing regimes. The results also confirmed that produced LWAs have po- tential to replace natural LWAs both in cast-in-place and precast concrete elements with possible eco- nomic, environmental, and technical benefits.
Effect of Adding Different Levels of Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) Seeds and Leaf Powder or their Extracts on Some Bone Characteristics and Total Ash Content in Broiler Chickens

Background: Some natural sources of polyphenols like grape seed, leaf or extracts, have many benefits in maintaining bone health in animals. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of grape seeds, grape leaves powder, or their extracts on some bone characteristics and total ash content in broiler chickens. Methods: Three hundred and twenty four one-day-old broilers were allocated to nine treatments with three replicates containing 12 chicks each. Chicks were fed nine experimental diets for 35 days; as a control diet without supplementation (T1), control diets supplemented with 15 and 30 g/kg grape seeds powder (GSP) (T2, T3), 15 and 30 g/kg grape leaf powder (GLP) (T4, T5), grape seed extract (GSE) at levels 2 and 4 ml/l added in drinking water (T6, T7) and with grape leaf extract (GLE ) at levels 2 and 4 ml/l (T8 and T9), respectively. Result: Significant increase (p≤0.05) in the bone length was recorded with GSP (30 g/kg), GLP (15 g/kg), GSE or GLE and calcium percent with GLE as compared with control. Furthermore, significant improvement was recorded in predictive skeletal weight of broilers fed GSE (T6 α T7) as compared to the other treatments. The study concluded that the best results were achieved at the 2 or 4 ml/l of grape seed extract in improving femur length, predicted skeletal weight and from grape leaf extract in improving calcium percentage in broiler bone ash.
Yaşam Boyu Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rollerinin Gelişimi
Authors: BAHTİYAR SAYGAN Bahar , PEKEL ULUDAĞLI Nilay
Published: May 2021

Günümüzde hemen hemen her çocuk, cinsiyet rollerinin sosyal olarak inşa edildiği bir topluma doğmakta ve bu roller bazında ayrıştırılmış bir dünyada büyümektedir. Bebeklik ve çocukluk dönemi boyunca sosyalleştirme sürecinde rol oynayan aile, arkadaş, medya gibi faktörlerin etkisiyle çocuklar, toplum tarafından belirlenen ve uyum göstermeleri beklenen cinsiyet rollerini öğrenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda cinsiyet farklılıklarına bakıldığında, kız çocukları daha baskıcı yaklaşımlarla karşılaşmakta ve onların, oğlan çocuklarına göre daha uysal, boyun eğen, uyumlu, duygularını gösteren, ilişkilere önem veren bir biçimde davranmaları istenmektedir. Öte yandan oğlan çocukları ise baskın, güçlü, bağımsız ve duygu kontrolüne sahip olarak yetiştirilmekte ve her koşulda bu doğrultuda davranmaları beklenmektedir. Bebeklikten ergenliğe bu öğretilerle sosyalleştirilen çocuklar, kendi ebeveynlerinin sergilediği cinsiyet rollerinden de güçlü bir şekilde etkilenerek, toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini içselleştirmektedir. İçselleştirilmiş bu cinsiyet rollerinin etkisi yaşam boyu sürmektedir. Cinsiyet kalıpyargılarının hem kadınlar hem de erkekler üzerinde kısa ve uzun vadede baskı ve strese neden olduğu bilinmekte, toplumun cinsiyet bazlı beklentilerine uyum gösterme ihtiyacı bireylerin psikolojik sağlığını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Son yıllarda cinsiyet eşitliği konusunda toplumsal farkındalık artsa da halen birçok ülkede pek çok alanda cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin sürdüğü bilinmektedir. Sonuç olarak, ilgili alan yazında tutarlı bir şekilde belirtildiği gibi, toplumsal cinsiyet psikolojisi her iki cinsiyeti de yaşamlarının her döneminde etkilemekte ve bu da cinsiyet eşitliğine yönelik politikaların önemini açıkça ortaya koymaktadır.
El quehacer educativo lasallista

Published: May 2021

Este libro es el fruto de un ejercicio investigativo realizado entre el Distrito Lasallista de Bogotá y la Universidad de La Salle, en el cual se analizan cuatro aspectos relacionados con la forma como los docentes acompañantes realizan su práctica. Se trata propiamente del quehacer educativo lasallista caracterizado por hacer vida en el aula el ejercicio de acompañar el proceso formativo de los estudiantes a partir de dos figuras representativas e identitarias: el Ángel custodio y el Hermano mayor.
La Misión compartida surge como otra característica del quehacer de los docentes lasallistas. Misión que se consolida en el trabajo realizado “Juntos y por asociación”. Además de los dos aspectos descritos, la importancia que tiene la opción por los pobres en el quehacer del docente lasallista es un elemento fundamental en la práctica de los profesores. El texto se enriquece con imágenes de la historia de la Escuela Técnica Instituto Técnico Central, las cuales dan cuenta de los desarrollos y transformaciones propios de las instituciones lasallistas.
