Abstract An experiment was carried out with Japanese quails in the initial laying phase, from 43 to 168 days of age, to determine the nutritional requirement of digestible methionine + cystine for this period. 375 quails were used, being fifteen quails used per experimental unit. A total of 5 treatments (0.60, 0.75, 0.90, 1.05 and 1.20% digestible methionine + cystine) were used in a completely randomized design with 5 replicates each. The performance parameters evaluated were feed intake (g / bird), body weight (g), egg weight (g), laying rate (%), egg mass (g eggs.bird.day-1), feed conversion by mass and dozen eggs (g.g-1 of eggs, g.dz-1 of eggs), viability (%) and the body chemical composition (%). The egg quality parameters were: % of component (yolk, albumen and shell relative to egg weight), specific gravity (g mL-1), Haugh unit, yolk index, shell weight per surface area and thickness of the shell (mm). Quadratic effect was found on the performance parameters evaluated (P<0.05), except for age at first egg and viability with linear effect. Regarding egg quality, no significant effect was observed on the variables tested (P>0.05). The nutritional recommendation of digestible methionine + cystine for Japanese quails at laying phase is 0.90% from the maximum point obtained for the egg mass, egg weight and laying rate, corresponding to daily intake of 241.54 mg of digestible methionine + cystine / day, respectively.

Resumo A inspeção de produtos de origem animal, realizada por médicos veterinários fiscais agropecuários, é baseada na legislação brasileira descrita no Regulamento da Inspeção Industrial e Sanitária de Produtos de Origem Animal (RIISPOA) do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA). No dia 29 de março de 2017 foi publicado o Decreto nº 9.013, que revoga o Decreto nº 30.691, de 1952, com isso grandes alterações ocorreram na legislação descrita no RIISPOA, como os critérios de julgamento de carcaças. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar, se essas alterações tiveram impacto nas condenações de carcaças de bovídeos por cisticercose e tuberculose no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS). O número de animais abatidos e o número de carcaças condenadas por tuberculose e cisticercose entre 2014 e 2020 foram obtidos do banco de dados do Sistema de Defesa Agropecuária (SDA), sistema oficial de dados da Secretaria da Agricultura Pecuária e Desenvolvimento Rural (SEAPDR), foi possível observar aumento do número de casos de carcaças condenadas por cisticercose e redução de animais afetados pela enfermidade no período após as alterações no regulamento. O número de carcaças condenadas por tuberculose, assim como o número de animais afetados pela doença se manteve estável após as mudanças no regulamento. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que as modificações na legislação federal trouxeram impacto real na série histórica de condenações de carcaças bovídeas por cisticercose no âmbito do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul enquanto nas carcaças afetadas por tuberculose o impacto das condenações não foi significativo.
Critique of growth and degrowth ideology: from developed to underdeveloped countries
Authors: Hermeto João Romeiro
Published: February 2023

Abstract: In this paper, I discuss the paradigmatic relationship between developed and underdeveloped nations within the notions of growth/degrowth. Economic Growth assimilated in the form of GDP expresses value bundle. Growth is demystified when the essence of value is grasped. Value ceases to be merely an abstract economic category and is apprehended as a social relation. Growth acquires a double reality under current social relations: Surplus value in a particular and a general form. To attain the dialectics of such relation and its supranational relationship, we endeavour a historical analysis giving an account of real relations to find the limits of our critique. Surplus labour historically has enabled societies to reach progress; only when societies produce beyond subsistence can they regard for different needs. On the other hand, the appropriation of surplus labour appears in history in many antagonist forms. In this perspective, the discussion about growth/degrowth attains major importance.
As contrarreformas e a reprodução social na pandemia da Covid-19
Authors: Silva Marcos Antônio da , Vendramini Célia Regina
Published: February 2023

Resumo: Este artigo busca compreender a conjuntura na qual nos encontrávamos quando a pandemia atinge o território brasileiro, procurando analisar suas consequências para a reprodução social tanto do capital, quanto dos trabalhadores. A pesquisa se pauta em estudos bibliográficos e documental, guiando-se nos passos do materialismo histórico-dialético. Busca evidenciar, inicialmente, as transformações no mundo do trabalho que vêm sendo implementadas desde o processo de redemocratização do país. A seguir, procura expor elementos que apontavam para o aumento das desigualdades e a piora das condições de vida dos trabalhadores, além de evidenciar algumas das frações da classe trabalhadora especialmente afetada. Os elementos estruturantes que impactam sobre a reprodução social resultam das contrarreformas implantadas, e não dos impactos da pandemia em si; as ações tomadas para o enfrentamento da crise objetivavam a manutenção do capital, em detrimento do trabalho.
As despedidas de David Perlov

Resumo Este artigo analisa como o Diário 1973- 1983, de David Perlov, tece-se em um duplo movimento de recusa e libertação. Com base na análise de alguns signos opacos que se repetem ao longo do filme — fotos sem legendas, nomes sem corpo — e ressaltando as hesitações e oscilações do cineasta na narração, no modo de filmar ou enquadrar, propomos pensar o Diário como um processo de aprendizado e de desapego de dois territórios de origem: a tradição do cinema moderno e o país natal, o Brasil.
O corpo místico do ator experimental no cinema
Authors: Oliveira Sandro de
Published: February 2023

Resumo Fora do enquadramento estético e institucional do que se convencionou chamar de arte cinematográfica clássica, houve um pujante grupo de manifestações atorais no cinema — majoritariamente de vertente experimental — cujo programa foi levar para a dimensão performativa de seu métier uma tese que perpassa muito da teoria do ator (no teatro e no cinema): sua santidade, possessão ou misticismo. Este trabalho intenta, então, perfazer uma genealogia de formas atorais no cinema que figuravam essa tese da transcendentalidade do trabalho do ator por meio da iconografia cristã, degradada nesses filmes pelo seu entorno marcado por violência, fome e injustiça. Assim, anticlericalismo e herança das artes visuais servem de base metodológica para acessar essa proposta de genealogia das formas atorais experimentais no cinema em três principais vias temáticas: 1) a revelação; 2) a crucificação e figura crística; 3) a Pietá e a Mater Dolorosa.
Querelas esquecidas dos game studies: monopólio e diversidade configuracional nos esports
Authors: Macedo Tarcízio
Published: February 2023

Resumo O intuito deste artigo é promover uma crítica ao monopólio temático exercido pelo esport profissional. Para desenvolver este argumento, apresentamos a noção de diversidade configuracional dos esports para considerar um conjunto de situações de jogo que compõe as atividades e experiências esportivas voltadas para videogames. Tal diversidade seria formada por pelo menos quatro configurações de esports: profissional, bricolada, comunitária e escolar. Para essa construção, buscamos apoio na literatura dos game studies, da comunicação, dos esportes e em experiências de trabalho de campo etnográfico empreendidas entre 2016 e 2022 com diferentes matrizes que constituem os esports no país.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Depending on the purpose of its cultivation, pigeon pea can be grown under different spacings and cuts, since it quickly resprouts. This study aimed to assess the pigeon pea growth, forage production and quality, considering two spacings and one cut. A field experiment using a completely randomized design, with three treatments [1.0 × 0.2 m spacing (between rows and plants, respectively), without cuts; 0.5 × 0.1 m, without cuts; and 0.5 × 0.1 m, with cut at 90 days after emergence (DAE)], was carried out. The spacings did not affect the plant height. The 0.5 × 0.1 m spacing showed an individual plant growth worse, but a forage yield (kg ha-1) higher than the 1.0 × 0.2 m treatment, from 120 to 180 DAE. The 0.5 × 0.1 m spacing was more advantageous than the 1.0 × 0.2 m, with the highest forage yield obtained by harvesting at 150 DAE. It is better to harvest the forage at 90 DAE and harvest it again at 180 DAE than maintaining a continuous plant growth and harvest it at 180 DAE. In each sampling date, there was no difference for stem and leaf crude protein and starch content as a function of the treatments. The forage harvested from 90 to 180 DAE showed similar crude protein and starch contents. So, for this period, the forage quality is not a limiting factor for establishing the harvest time.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Sweet corn is susceptible to the attack of various pathogens that affect its metabolism and compromise its quality and production. This study aimed to identify the causal agent of stem rot in sweet corn plants under greenhouse conditions. The identity of the pathogenic isolate was confirmed by sequencing of internal transcribed spacer (ITS1/ITS4), beta-tubulin (BT2A/BT2B), calmodulin (CL1/CL2) and translation elongation factor 1α (TEF1). The morphological and sequencing characteristics showed that Fusarium sacchari, which belongs to the Fusarium fujikuroi complex, is directly associated with the symptoms observed in the field. This fungal isolate has never been associated with diseases in Zea mays (saccharata group) in Brazil; therefore, this is the first report of the fungus infecting sweet corn in a cultivated area.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference at the midpalatal suture opening after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) using Expander with Differential Opening (EDO), Hyrax-type and Haas-type expanders. Methods: Occlusal radiographs of 52 patients (19 males and 33 females; average age= 9.46?1.20 years) treated with RME were divided into three groups, according to the expander used: EDO (n=17), Hyrax-type (n=21) and Haas-type (n=14). The evaluated variables were: A) Distance between the maxillary central incisors at the incisal edge; B) Distance between the alveolar ridges at the midpalatal suture; C) Suture opening at 10-mm distance from the crest to posterior, at the midpalatal suture; D) Suture opening at 20-mm distance from the crest to posterior, at the midpalatal suture; and E) Suture opening at 30-mm distance from the crest to posterior, at the midpalatal suture. To assess the normality of variables, the Shapiro-Wilk test was performed. For intergroup comparison, ANOVA with a significance level of 5% was used. Results: At the region A, Hyrax-type (4.66 mm) and EDO (4.87 mm) groups presented larger openings than the Haas-type group (3.43 mm). In regions B and C, EDO showed a statistically significant greater opening than the Haas-type group. In region D, a smaller opening of the midpalatal suture was observed in the Haas-type group, compared to the Hyrax-type and EDO groups. Conclusions: EDO and Hyrax-type produced greater immediate skeletal effects, compared with Haas-type, but these differences were about 1 mm and might not be clinically significant.

Abstract Tecoma stans is popularly known as ipê-mirim in Brazil. This species belongs to the Bignoniaceae family and it is native to Americas and Antilles, where it is widely used in landscaping as urban tree. The seedlings are produced from seeds and there are several factors that influences its development, such as the sowing time and the substrate. This work aimed to understand the effect of the sowing time and substrates on the production of Tecoma stans seedlings. The experiments were carried out in a nursery. The experimental design was completely randomized. The substrates were arranged in a 2 × 6 factorial scheme, two sowing times (autumn and spring) and six commercial substrates (SC1; SC2; SC3; SC4; sand and vermiculite) under four replicates and ten seedlings per plot. The means were compared to each other using the Tukey test (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference between the seasons of the year, showing that the percentage of emergence was higher in spring (89%). The seedlings of Tecoma stans were shown to be nutrient-dependent both in the emergence of the seedling and in the subsequent development of the seedlings, since the highest averages of the studied characteristics were obtained in the commercial substrates, as they have nutrients in their composition, with greater emphasis on SC1.

Published: February 2023

Abstract Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) is an ornamental species used as a potted plant or cut flower, its popularity is due to the diversity of colors, number of flower buds, and shelf life. Nevertheless, during the first phases of development, problems such as foliar chlorosis and root diseases affects most cultivars, causing poor growth, thin stems, and few flowers. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improved plant growth as these microbes colonize the plant system root. Therefore, in order to provide better conditions for the stem development, the aim of this work was to evaluate the individual and combined effect of Bacillus subtilis (PGPR) and Glomus intraradices (AMF) on the growth and postharvest quality of the stems of lisianthus cv. Mariachi. Then commercial product Alubión-X (Bacillus subtilis (PGPR) and mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus intraradices) were used. The variables evaluated were stem height and diameter, foliar area, leaves number and in postharvest, buds number, open and diameter of flowers and stem dry weight. The results showed a significant effect of the inoculation of G. intraradices on the size (66.92 cm) of the stem, as well as the combination of B. subtilis + G. intraradices (65.51 cm) compared to the control (36.9 cm). The number of buds and open flowers of the stems treated with G. intraradices were 33.35 and 23.9 respectively significantly higher than the control. G. intraradices alone is the best option for applying to lisianthus, when compared to applying with B. Subtilis.
Involvement of cytokinins in biomass accumulation of Limonium sinuatum under root restriction during nursery
Authors: Gandolfo Esteban , Hakim Guido , Giardina Ernesto , Benedetto Adalberto Di
Published: February 2023

Abstract It has been suggested that the response of the specialty cut flower Limonium sinuatum to different abiotic stress situations related to the plug tray cell size during nursery could be associated with the synthesis and translocation of endogenous cytokinins produced in the root tips. To validate this hypothesis, the aim of this work was to evaluate the participation of cytokinins in the process of biomass accumulation in L. sinuatum plants through foliar spraying with a synthetic cytokinin (benzyl aminopurine, BAP) and an inhibitor of the synthesis of endogenous cytokinins (dopamine). Our results indicated that spraying L. sinuatum plants with BAP increased leaf area initiation and expansion, biomass accumulation through increased plant photosynthetic capacity, and differential partitioning towards the shoot apical meristem by a positive feedback mechanism that has a threshold of optimal response close to 100 mg L-1 BAP. Dopamine spraying appeared to affect the synthesis of endogenous cytokinins, reducing the previously mentioned responses. Responses were dose-dependent, with an optimum of 100 mg L-1 BAP and 200 mg L-1 dopamine. Our results allow concluding that the level of endogenous cytokinins during the abiotic stress such as root restriction during nursery is a determining variable of the biomass accumulation process in this species.

Partying and occupation: an occupational analysis of the Bailes da Saudade
Authors: Coelho Flávia dos Santos , Magalhães Lilian
Published: February 2023

Abstract Introduction There are deep relationships between Brega parties and the city of Belém do Pará, Brazil, manifested in everyday practices that influence the city’s cultural, performance and identity characteristics. These parties are held weekly and inform three main actors: partygoers, bregueiros, and DJs. Even though they are widely validated in the periphery, the Brega parties face processes of social marginalization of their practices, with derogatory notions attributed to the ways of living and everyday actions of the subjects involved with this movement. Among the Brega parties, this study highlights the Baile da Saudade, which concentrates on characteristics more linked to the initial Brega movement. Objective To identify the meanings of producing/participating in the Baile da Saudade parties based on the perspective of its main actors. Method This qualitative study, which was inspired by an ethnographic approach, heard five participants: one DJ, two party planners, and two bregueiros. The data was generated through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and the Photovoice. The resources were analyzed by Thematic Analysis. Results Four thematic units were generated: particularities of the Baile da Saudade, construction of the party as a cultural product, differences in consumption between the Center and the Periphery of city, as well as stigmas and acceptance associated with this party. Conclusion The study revealed the constraints, tensions, and potentials of producing/participating in Baile da Saudade parties, and allowed reflection on the role of some occupations from the counter-hegemonic perspective.

Published: February 2023

Abstract The objective of this work was to develop and validate a diagrammatic logarithmic scale to evaluate the damage caused by the Caliothrips phaseoli bean thrips to peanut (Arachis hypogaea). Leaflets of artificially infected peanut plants were collected, and the damaged leaf area (DLA) was calculated using the SisCob software. Six-, seven-, eight-, and nine-class scales were developed, and the range of each class was obtained with the 2-LOG software. The leaflets were analyzed by 12 raters using the four proposed scales. The scales were validated as to: precision and accuracy, using the linear regression between the DLA and estimated area; and reproducibility, by the linear regression between the estimations of the raters combined in pairs. The eight-class scale shows the best results in terms of accuracy and precision, as well as a high reproducibility.

Abstract Hemoplasmas are non-cultivable bacterial parasites of erythrocytes that infect domestic and wild animals, as well as humans. Their means of transmission and pathogenesis remain contentious issues and difficult to evaluate in wild animals. Procyon cancrivorus is a South American carnivore and occurs in all Brazilian biomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate occurrences of hemoplasmas infecting P. cancrivorus and to identify their 16S rRNA gene, in southern Brazil. DNA was extracted from spleen and blood samples of P. cancrivorus (n = 9) from different locations. Hemoplasma DNA was detected in six samples, based on 16S rRNA gene amplification and phylogenetic analysis. Four of the six sequences belonged to the “Mycoplasma haemofelis group”, which is closely related to genotypes detected in Procyon lotor from the USA; one was within the “Mycoplasma suis group", closely related to “Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum”; and one was within the intermediate group between these clusters. Thus, these sequences showed that the molecular identity of hemoplasmas in the population studied was very variable. In five positive animals, Amblyomma aureolatum ticks and a flea (Ctenocephalides felis felis) were collected. The present study describes the first molecular detection of mycoplasmas in P. cancrivorus.

Methods: this was a cross-sectional study applying multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) to records retrieved from the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System covering the period from 2009 to 2018. Results: of the 9,950 notifications registered, 91.8% were notifications of physical violence; higher rates were found in young females (189.2/100,000), who had up to incomplete high school education (139.6/100,000), had a partner (202.7/100,000), were Indigenous (488.8/100,000), and were living on the border with other countries (223,1/100,000); the aggressors were mostly current partners (76.9%) and male (95.5%); MCA revealed that physical violence was predominant at weekends, at night, with use of physical force and when the aggressor was under the influence of alcohol; most IPV did not occur at home, but was committed by current partners and was not a repeated event. Conclusion: IPV stood out among young victims, those who had a partner, low education, Indigenous women and occurred notably in the border region.
Using U.S. Business Registry Data to Corroborate Corporate Identity: Case Study of the Legal Entity Identifier
Authors: Treacy William , Okrent Scott
Published: February 2023

This paper offers a fresh perspective on fundamental issues in using official incorporation records to corroborate the identity of corporate entities by comparing two publicly-available sets of information, namely, business registry incorporation records and reference data from the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) system, with some focus on the monitoring function performed by LEI issuers as agents for LEI data users. Three modes of analysis are used to consider these issues, high-level analysis of LEI system data about U.S. entities with LEIs, interviews conducted with U.S. business registries, and entity-level comparisons of business registry and LEI records for entities with LEIs incorporated in the states of Ohio and Massachusetts. The fresh perspective provided here includes attention to key comparison issues such as truncation of Legal Names in official records; significant state-level variation in requirements to provide business address information in incorporation records or periodic reports; recognition that some key business register data may not be readily available or available only at a cost; whether in this context enhancements can be made to the expectations for, and disclosures by, LEI issuers in their monitoring role; and to what extent the high incidence of non-renewal of LEIs might play a role in the quality of LEI reference data. The paper develops measures of scope and degree for many key issues that can arise in using business registry information within an identity-corroboration context. The exceptional transparency of the LEI system allows for detailed comparisons that connect its data quality and value proposition with its sources and methods.
Household, Bank, and Insurer Exposure to Miami Hurricanes: a flow-of-risk analysis
Authors: Dennis Benjamin N.
Published: February 2023

We analyze possible future financial losses in the event of hurricane damage to Miami residential real estate, where the hurricane's destructiveness reflects climate-change. We focus on three scenarios: (i) a business-as-usual scenario, (ii) a Hurricane-Ian-spillovers scenario, and (iii) a cautious-markets scenario. We quantify bank exposures and loss rates, where exposures are proportional to the size of real estate markets and loss rates depend on post-hurricane devaluations and insurance coverage. This quantitative methodology could complement modeling of local economy impacts, stress on public finances, asset market losses, and other financial developments that will also affect banks.

Published: February 2023

Background: Percentage and speed of germination are crucial factors that can restrict processes involved in plant succession during ecological restoration. Pre-germination treatments and the effect of storage time on germination percentage and mean germination time were investigated in nine native herbaceous plants of the La Primavera Flora and Fauna Protection Area.
Question: Do the seeds of the studied species go dormant, and can storage time affect germination percentage and mean germination time?
Species studied: Aeschynomene villosa var. longifolia (Micheli) Rudd, Crotalaria pumila Ort., Dalea leporina (Ait.) Bullock, D. foliolosa (Ait.) Barneby, Desmodium aparines (Link) DC., D. distortum (Aubl.) JF Macbr., D. tortuosum (Sw.) DC., Paspalum notatum Flüggé, and Zornia reticulata I. E. Smith.
Place and dates of study: Area of Protection of Flora and Fauna La Primavera. From 2019 to 2020
Methods: Under greenhouse conditions, four treatments were applied prior to germination: scarification with a tweezer pliers, immersion in water at 40 ᵒC for 24 and 48 h, and control.
Results: Seven species had highly viable (≥ 90 %) seeds after 12 months of storage. Five species with seed dormancy reached germination above 80 % after 24 months of storage and scarification with a tweezer pliers. Mean germination time for most species decreased with the scarification treatment.
Conclusion: Our findings provide basic information on the germination of native species that could help restore degraded sites in the La Primavera Flora and Fauna Protection Area.

Published: February 2023

The Fc fragment of IgG binding protein (FCGBP) has been confirmed to play an important role in various cancers. However, the specific role of FCGBP in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains undefined. Thus, in this study, the enrichment analyses (Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis) of FCGBP in HCC and extensive bioinformatic analyses using data of clinicopathologic characteristics, genetic expression and alterations, and immune cell infiltration were perfomed. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to verify the expression of FCGBP in both HCC tissues and cell lines. The subsequent results confirmed thatFCGBP overexpression positively correlated with poor prognosis in patients with HCC. Additionally, FCGBP expression could effectively distinguish tumor tissues from normal tissues, which was verified by qRT-PCR. The result was further confirmed by using HCC cell lines. The time-dependent survival receiver operator characteristic curve exhibited the strong ability of FCGBP to predict survival in patients with HCC. Additionally, we revealed the strong relationship between FCGBP expression and a number of classic regulatory targets and classical oncogenic signaling pathways of tumors. Finally, FCGBP was involved in the regulation of immune infiltration in HCC. Therefore, FCGBP has potential value in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of HCC and may be a potential biomarker or therapeutic target.

Some speculations concerning Gombrich’s reflections, Or History of Art as a poor relative of the Science of Art
Authors:   National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, Puchkov Andrii
Published: February 2023

Our essay was inspired by the lecture by the German art historian Ernst Gombrich (1909–2001) «Reflections on teaching art history in art schools paper given, 4th January, 1966». If no one denies the necessity of giving such a course to artists – the provocative question of how modern art history coincides with modern art science (allgemeine Kunstwissenschaft) or with art theory – makes one wonder not only what kind of specialty students acquire, specializing in history of art, but also over the relationship between different disciplines «within» the science of art. Drawing on a number of specific examples, the article attempts to show the difference between the material an art historian and an art researcher work with. It suggests that the history of art is related to the science of art in the same way as paint is related to colour or as the voice is related to singing, or the past is related to the present. It is shown that an attempt by an art historian to turn this history into modernity harms both the history of art and the modern science of art, which is looking for new motives, methods and techniques and the new style of writing. If when the European science of art just began to take its shape as «the theory and history of art», it was the history of art that was the core around which theoretical generalizations arose like iconography or iconology, now the history of art remains the necessary basis for the professional training of an art researcher – a person who is able to independently consider works of art not in the history of art, but in the history of culture, more precisely, in the very whirlpool of culture, which will become history only tomorrow. The science of art becomes an important element of the general science of culture, where history of art occupies its proper place – knowledge about how humanity produces a valuable, expressive surface of being. However, different means serve different goals. I consider an art researcher a person who resorts to theorizing and increment of artistic meanings, or an art historian, and then resorts to the reproduction of knowledge, and not its increment.

The article analyzes the impact of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine on modern ethnocultural processes based on the materials of sociological surveys. It has been proven that the main goal of Russia's invasion is the complete destruction of the Ukrainian people, and this opinion dominates in all regions of Ukraine, while another half believe that the goal of the attack is the occupation of Ukraine and joining Russia. It has been found that the level of linguistic self-identification of Ukrainians, according to the results of sociological surveys, is steadily increasing, and the war, as a challenge for the whole society, only accelerates this process, therefore, the Ukrainian language, as one of the cornerstones of statehood, is only getting stronger today, and the lines of opposition in this matter are disappearing. It was revealed that as of August 2021, the number of respondents who self-identify as citizens of Ukraine (from 75 to 98%) and as "Europeans" - from 27 to 57% - has increased significantly. On the other hand, fewer and fewer respondents refer to themselves as a "Soviet person", their number decreased from 21 to 7%. It was revealed that the absolute majority (91%) do not support the thesis that "Russians and Ukrainians are one people". It is shown that since February 24, 2022, there has been a sharp change in the ideological views of Ukrainian society regarding any markers associated with the aggressor country, "decommunization" and "derusification" of public opinion has occurred. It has been proven that the absolute majority (89%) of those surveyed support the recognition of Russia's actions in Ukraine as genocide of the Ukrainian people. It was found that students are very interested in the events taking place in Ukraine during the Russian military aggression that began in 2014, the vast majority of respondents feel responsible for the fate of Ukraine and are convinced that it can affect its future. It was found that, according to the majority of surveyed students, Russia's full-scale military aggression against Ukraine led to the consolidation of Ukrainian society and increased patriotic feelings of citizens, therefore the absolute majority of respondents joined the resistance to the enemy.

Authors: Bogachev Yu. S. , Trifonov P. V.
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the development of the concept of a single digital space for the effective functioning of the industry. A new model of industrial production organisation, the platform ecosystem are analysed. The analysis of the theoretical concepts of the world economy on its structure, the system of organisation of interaction between ecosystem participants, factors affecting its dynamic development is given. It is shown that digital technologies play an essential role in the organisation of the ecosystem. At the same time, digitalisation occurs in two directions: the creation of the digital space of the enterprise participating in the ecosystem and the creation of the digital space of the ecosystem of industrial production.

The analysis of the use of digital technologies in various industries is given. The rating of the use of digital technologies in industry is discussed. The analysis of the factors constraining the process of digitalisation of the industry of the Russian Federation is given. The concept of ecosystem, presented in the world literature, and its functional and organisational features are analysed.

The influence of institutional conditions on the functional characteristics of the ecosystem is discussed. The ecosystem management system affects the economic and technological efficiency of each ecosystem participant. The prospects for the development of ecosystems based on platforms are shown.

The ability of the Russian manufacturing industry to adapt digital technologies and the organisation of modern forms of production on their basis are analysed. It is demonstrated that the potential of modern production of complex multicomponent products is determined by the ability to scale based on industry 4.0 technologies. At the same time, most of the enterprises fulfill individual orders of consumers and do not participate in the production chains of such products.

The tasks necessary for the organisation of breakthrough development of manufacturing enterprises in Russia are formulated. For modern organisational forms of the manufacturing industry a non-departmental management body is proposed. Its structure and functions are discussed.

The author of the paper explores the content of the qualification improvement course “Profiling, Interviewing, Identification” implemented in the State Border Guard College of the Republic of Latvia, the questionnaires given to the course participants in order to develop the guidelines for more effective training of border guards in the field of profiling and provides his point of view, taking into account training on profiling delivered in national and international context and level. The paper is aimed to identify the possibilities of improving the border guards’ professional background in performing profiling in line with the current socio-economic, political and migration trends in Europe and in the world. The research was done in the State Border Guard College of the Republic of Latvia and several Central Asia region countries. For this purpose analysis and evaluation of documents, scientific, pedagogical and psychological literature was performed and suggestions for the improvement of border guard training system in the field of profiling were compiled. The author concludes that the current SBGC lecturers` level of proficiency allows to develop and implement any length and content qualification improvement course in the field of profiling. The author recommends to develop a micro-learning approach, namely by creating a variety of short video training materials. Development of profiling methodological instructions at the central level of the State Border Guard would lead to the increase of profiler (border guard) activities efficiency in performing service duties and would allow to operate with profiling related terms, procedures and activities.
