Published: November 2024

Our agriculture is threatened by resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and climate change. A new agricultural revolution is necessary to increase crop productivity and sustainably ensure food quality and safety. SA and JA were used to prime seeds, which can assist in assuring the long-term viability of agriculture. Seed elicitor priming is a potent method for altering the metabolic and signalling pathways in seeds, which impacts the whole plant life cycle, not only germination and seedling establishment. A few advantages include higher nutritional quality of food, greater output, and improved plant growth and development. The effects of elicitor priming on metabolic pathways and the balance of reactive oxygen species and plant growth hormones increase stress and disease tolerance while lowering the need for pesticides and fertilizers. To evaluate seed vigour, shoot weight, shoot height and germination % were employed. Indicating that pre-sowing treatments can have either positive or negative effects on seed vigour depending on the treatment dose, the use of SA and JA in combination as an elicitor had a marginally advantageous impact on seed vigour. More studies are required to determine their effects and the ideal seed priming dosage.

Drought stress is a critical environmental stress that hinders plant growth and development. Most pulses are grown in rainfed ecosystems, significantly affected during drought conditions. To address this predicament in this study, a liquid microbial consortium of nodule-associated plant probiotics was used for seed priming of Greengram to assess its efficacy in alleviating drought stress and improving seed quality attributes. Applying an optimum dose of plant probiotics at the appropriate stage enhances plant productivity, improving tolerance to stresses and reducing dependence on harmful agrochemicals. To optimize the dose, two green gram seeds viz., VBN4 and CO8, were subjected to various concentrations of nodule-associated plant probiotics (NAPP), namely, 2, 4, 6 and 8%, along with the control and hydropriming. In the present study, 2% NAPP improved the physiological and biochemical parameters of the green gram, such as germination, seed vigour index, protein content, dehydrogenase activity and ?-amylase in both varieties. The primed seeds were further evaluated under moisture stress conditions by exposing them to various concentration levels of Polyethylene Glycol 6000 ranging from -2 to -6 bar. The experiment revealed that increasing the concentration of PEG 6000 above in -4 bar reduced germination and seedling vigour in both green gram varieties. However, green gram seeds primed with 2% NAPP showed greater moisture stress resistance than nonprimed seeds. The highest activity of stress-related enzymes such as catalase, peroxidase and super oxidase dismutase triggered by NAPP in green gram plants was observed to have potential for drought stress management. This study highlights the importance of NAPP as a potential seed priming agent for improving seed germination and vigour under moisture stress.
Joseph Jacob Gumprecht, ein jüdischer Mediziner im Zeitalter der Aufklärung: blockierte Universitätskarriere, geöffnete Zivilgesellschaft
Authors: Schlumbohm Jürgen
Published: November 2024

Joseph Jacob Gumprecht, MD, 1772–1838, is the first Jew known as a university lecturer (Privatdozent) at a German university. This biographical article analyses the network of family, friends and colleagues, in which his life course was embedded. It shows his achievements, failures and partial successes. When his career at the University of Göttingen was blocked, he moved to Hamburg, practised as a physician and man-midwife. He was not successful economically, and his family broke up. But he made noteworthy contributions to the emergent discipline of obstetrics, both as an author and editor of periodicals. Moreover, he was active in establishing associations in several fields: for the profession of medical men, and in the context of the Jewish reform movement. Gumprecht’s example shows that German Jews not just integrated themselves into the middle class, but that they actively contributed to shaping civil society and the culture of the middle class.
Hokhmat ha-Nefesh
: Soul and Dream, from Eleazar of Worms to Renaissance Italy
Authors: Abate Emma
Published: November 2024

This article examines the traditions of copying and reading a medieval Ashkenazi treatise, Hokhmat ha-Nefesh (»Wisdom of the Soul«) by Eleazar of Worms (1176–1238) in Renaissance Rome. It delves into a manuscript copied in 1515 by Jewish scholar Elias Levita (1469–1549), commissioned by Levita’s patron, Neoplatonist and Hermetic scholar Egidio da Viterbo (1469–1532). In addition to copying the text, Egidio had Jewish interpreters translate Hokhmat ha-Nefesh into vernacular Italian. The treatise discusses the heavenly nature of the soul, its connections with the angelic world, its prophetic abilities, and its fate and retribution in the afterlife. What role did this Ashkenazi text play in the early modern tradition? How can this text be seen as a testament to kabbalistic perspectives in Renaissance Italy? How did Egidio’s collaborators handle their scribal and translation tasks, and the relationship between the Hebrew original and the vernacular translation of Hokhmat ha-Nefesh? This essay addresses these questions.
Exploring the properties of multivariable Hermite polynomials in relation to Apostol-type Frobenius–Genocchi polynomials
Authors: Wani Shahid Ahmad , Shah Tafaz Ul Rahman , Ramírez William , Cesarano Clemente
Published: November 2024

This work presents a general framework that innovates and explores different mathematical aspects associated with special functions by utilizing the mathematical physics-based idea of monomiality. This study presents a unique family of multivariable Hermite polynomials that are closely related to Frobenius–Genocchi polynomials of Apostol type. The study’s deductions address the differential equation, generating expression, operational formalism, and other characteristics that define these polynomials. The affirmation of the controlling monomiality principle further confirms their mathematical foundations. In addition, the work proves recurrence relations, fractional operators, summation formulae, series representations, operational and symmetric identities, and so on, all of which contribute to our knowledge of these complex polynomials.

The Evaluation System of Global Cinematic Strength and the Advancement of Chinese Films
Authors: Tan Zheng , Zhang Yan
Published: November 2024

The goal of transforming China into a country with leading cinematic strength has long been proposed, yet the criteria for defining a country with leading cinematic strength have remained unclear. Drawing from the current global film industry structure and evaluation systems for strength in other fields, the evaluation system of global cinematic strength should encompass the two primary indicators of domestic and international influence, six secondary indicators, such as industry base and scale, and twenty tertiary indicators, such as the number of cinemas and screens and film production. Under this evaluation system, only the United States currently qualifies as a country with leading cinematic strength, while China and India show a potential for development. China should enhance support for young filmmakers, increase overseas promotion, and position itself as a key target market for films from developing countries to facilitate its transformation from a major film country to a country with leading cinematic strength.

Die Bedeutung der beruflichen Weiterbildung für die Arbeitsmarktintegration von Geflüchteten
Authors: Bredtmann Julia , Höckel Lisa Sofie
Published: November 2024

In der bestehenden Literatur werden langfristig positive Effekte von Maßnahmen der beruflichen Weiterbildung auf verschiedene Arbeitsmarktindikatoren beschrieben. Unklar ist bislang jedoch, inwiefern die Förderung der beruflichen Weiterbildung zur Arbeitsmarktintegration von Geflüchteten beitragen kann. Julia Bredtmann und Lisa Sofie Höckel untersuchen daher anhand der Sondersituation der Fluchtmigration seit 2015 mit Hilfe administrativer Daten und einer Propensity-Score-Methode die kurz- und mittelfristigen Effekte von Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen auf die Arbeitsmarktintegration von Geflüchteten. Es zeigt sich, dass sich die Teilnahme an einer Weiterbildungsmaßnahme positiv auf die Beschäftigungswahrscheinlichkeit und die Höhe des erzielten Lohns auswirkt. Dabei variieren die Effekte für verschiedene Personengruppen, beispielsweise in Bezug auf das Geschlecht sowie das Alter der Geflüchteten.
Dissecting the Causal Role of Early Inferior Frontal Activation in Reading
Authors: Uno Tomoki , Takano Kouji , Nakamura Kimihiro
Published: November 2024

Cognitive models of reading assume that speech production occurs after visual and phonological processing of written words. This traditional view is at odds with more recent magnetoencephalography studies showing that the left posterior inferior frontal cortex (pIFC) classically associated with spoken production responds to print at 100–150 ms after word-onset, almost simultaneously with posterior brain regions for visual and phonological processing. Yet the theoretical significance of this fast neural response remains open to date. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate how the left pIFC contributes to the early stage of reading. In Experiment 1, 23 adult participants (14 females) performed three different tasks about written words (oral reading, semantic judgment, and perceptual judgment) while single-pulse TMS was delivered to the left pIFC, fusiform gyrus or supramarginal gyrus at different time points (50–200 ms after word-onset). A robust double dissociation was found between tasks and stimulation sites—oral reading, but not other control tasks, was disrupted only when TMS was delivered to pIFC at 100 ms. This task-specific impact of pIFC stimulation was further corroborated in Experiment 2, which revealed another double dissociation between oral reading and picture naming. These results demonstrate that the left pIFC specifically and causally mediates rapid computation of speech motor codes at the earliest stage of reading and suggest that this fast sublexical neural pathway for pronunciation, although seemingly dormant, is fully functioning in literate adults. Our results further suggest that these left-hemisphere systems for reading overall act faster than known previously.

Discourses of Labour Protest in Post-Communist Lithuania
Authors: Woolfson Charles
Published: November 2024

This article explores the emergent discourses of labour protests that have accompanied the transition from communism to the market economy. Building on the ground-breaking theoretical paradigm of V. N. Voloshinov and contemporary attempts by Marxist scholars to develop materialist socio-linguistics, the gradual emergence of class-based labour discourses in the new market economies of Central and Eastern Europe is examined. A number of recent labour protests in ex-Soviet Lithuania are examined. The complex articulation of labour identities is charted. Their legitimisation as social actors with “independent” demands in the context of transitional Lithuanian society is analysed through protest discourses. Discourses of labour protest have emerged in contestation and tension with seemingly contradictory attempts to impose a “supra class” ideology. The imposition of both neo-liberal ideology, which seeks to exclude organised labour from an independent role in civil society, and at the same time, the cultivation of the language of social partnership, which seeks to incorporate labour in national tripartite structures, are complementary attempts to forestall the emergence of more radical class-based discourses. The emergence of dialogic discourses between labour and capital and the forms of their social resonance reveals much about the current limits of labour protest in the new market economies. Such discourses also reveal many possible future forms of labour contestation as the new market economies of Central and Eastern Europe are incorporated into the newly enlarged European Union.

Social lssues in "The Ants" by Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska
Authors: Wzorek Anna
Published: November 2024

The article analyses „The Ants" by Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska, reckoned, apart from ,,A Woman of Wonder", one of the best, and at the same time the most popular dramas of this interwar poetess. In the analysis conducted in terms of the history of literature, attention was paid to (as indicated by the title of the drama) social issues present in this literary work. The social issues are present in the two parallel plots - the metaphorical one (in Act l and Act III) and the realistic one (in Act II). In closing conclusions, the attention was drawn to the fact that Pawlikowska, introducing the reader to the world of insects and the reality of humans, extended the scope  of the addressed issues. The playwright tackled the question of the totalitarianism - a system constraining the individual, encroaching on the most intimate areas of life and degrading the existing values. In addition, the author expressed her opinion on love and maternity.
The Neutral Vowel and the lndeterminate Phoneme (Sprachbund Typology)
Authors: Kleiner Yuri A. , Kaminskaya Larissa N.
Published: November 2024

It is erroneous methodologically to identify a set of phonetic features with a unit with a systemic (phonemic) status within a certain language, and even more so, with phonetically similar units (‘sounds’) of different languages. Such a cross-systemic approach to the phoneme is impossible, for the phoneme is a language-specific rather than a universal notion. On the other hand, phonetically similar units in different languages can be the product of linguistically similar contexts (conditions). In this situation, the conditions (contexts) and the units that manifest themselves in these can be regarded as typological characteristics of a group of languages. This applies to the so-called neutral vowel (“schwa”) either (a) limited to phonologically and morphologically weak (phonetically unstressed) positions (non-radical syllables in the Germanic languages) or (b) not characterised by any distributional limitations (the Balkan “schwa”). In the latter case, the phonetically neutral vowel manifests an “indeterminate phoneme”,i. E. the phoneme that can only be defined negatively in terms of (linguistic) distinctive features. Since the contexts in which this phoneme exists are similar in different Balkan languages, and since these contexts may have arisen as a result of contacts of languages where similar processes took place, the indeterminate phoneme (but not the neutral vowel) can indeed be regarded as a Balkanism.
Typology of Appearance and "Appearance of Typology" in the Novel "Faserland" by Christian Kracht
Authors: Krasilnikov Roman L.
Published: November 2024

Literary critics described the novel "Faserland" (1995) by Christian Kracht as a narration about the world of brand goods. The task of the article is to analyze the representation of relation to clothes and the body, reflects practices of modern daily occurrence as a whole. The narrator builds a semiotic system consisting of four parts: clothes, things, outward appearance and smells. He regularly finds such qualitative features a trade mark, colour or material of an object, which allows typifying personality with different criteria. The narrator "envisages" meaningful information for himself and modern culture under the codes: the occupation of a person, his/her participation in a subculture, his place of living, inclination to some trade mark, body practices, and improving his/her appearance. The "cult of typology" gradually becomes the interior, ontological foundation of the text. Now, the basic reader's interest comprises invariable passages from one dress-, look-, thing-, and brand-code to the other.
Mathias Casimirus Sarbievius and Baroque Emblem
Authors: Šarkauskienė Skirmantė
Published: November 2024

One of the most important genres optimally expressing the principles and art trends of the Baroque epoch was the emblem. The literary emblem is an amalgam of pictorial art (ars pictoria) and poetry (ars poetica), conditioning the layer of sense developing in between their synthesis. The present article discusses the main aspects of the relations between the poetical, scenic and prosaic works by Mathias Casimirus Sarbievius (1595-1640) with the Baroque emblemics.
The four epigrams called emblems by Sarbievius himself and eulogistic epigrams interpreting heraldic signs reflect the interaction between emblem and armorial poetry, which was the essential feature of the occasional poetry in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The most approximate to the canon of emblem genre considering form and contents are the epigrams about Amor divinitus, especially those in which Sarbievius varies the motives of the Canticle. In other cases, it is possible to discuss the emblemical structure and the emblemical treatment of different images. It could be odes with epigraphs from Canticle or those with titles expressing any concrete image, e.g., plant, heraldic sign, biblical or historical character. The influence of the emblem is evident in scenic and prosaic works by Sarbievius, including the theatrical dramatization Hymenodora, declamations Sacra Lithothesis and the libretto for the musical play Silviludia, tractate Dii gentium, sermon Laska marszalkowska. Sarbievius emblemically, i.e., he abundantly uses images from the plastic arsenal of emblems; besides, classical, biblical motives and images, heraldic signs are interpreted by Sarbievius according to conventions of the emblem genre and, this way, assume a new sense.

Philosophy, Religion, Art as a Hermeneutical Discourse
Authors: Svičiulienė Jūratė
Published: November 2024

The article highlights the relevance of cultural studies, revealing ontological links of substantive cultural phenomena. Since hermeneutic discourse is particularly popular in culturology, the main categories of W. Dilthy's "philosophy of life" that refer to his hermeneutical method are also widely discussed. By tradition, the peculiarity of philosophical thinking is based on a comparison of philosophy and other cultural spheres - mythology, religion, art and science. Dilthy has the same approach; thus, his research of relations between philosophy, religion and poetic culture is the basis of this work, expanding the limits of "romantic" or classical problem of interpretation and understanding. Further, a conclusion about the cohesion between philosophy, religion, art and their various forms of expression is also formulated.
The Artistic Character-Stereotype and the Problem of Authorship
Authors: Safronova Lyudmila
Published: November 2024

The article analyses modern author technologies and imagecharacters that are adequate to the mass reader's demand. It is the mechanisation of the creative process, calculation of optimal plot schemes on the basis of standard character functions, their stereotypification, calculation of a target audience, and calculation of optimal author models in the text. Stereotypification allows us "to form" the mass reader with the preset properties. B. Akunin uses stereotypification but simultaneously subjects it to deconstruction. The writer shows how, through the perception of a character stereotype that has been made natural, the reader identifying with it should fall into the imaginary "correctness" of one or the other ideology. Showing the latent techniques of pre-election technologies, Akunin describes in detail how the image-character is projected onto the promoted ideology; archetypes and stereotypes already existing in the consciousness are taken as base models. Thus, the communicative stereotype generated from an archetype determines the "agreeing" behaviour which regulates social processes.
Biblical Words and Phrases in the Representation of Slavic Folk Speech

More than a thousand years ago, the Slavs adopted Christianity. The new Christian ideology entered the people's minds. But the ancient pagan ideas were still alive. Not only does Slavic folklore keep them, but the word by itself reveals the traces of these archaic ideas. Even the Bible words and phrases often get a new meaning in popular speech and begin to express Christian views and the "shadows of ancient beliefs". The article analyses the character of functioning and semantics of biblical words and phrases in folk speech.

Post-traumatic stress disorder research: a narrative review
Authors: Field Tiffany
Published: November 2024

This review summarizes recent research publications (2019-2024) on the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), its negative effects, predictors/risk factors for the disorder, interventions and potential underlying biological mechanisms. The prevalence of PTSD has widely ranged from 10-70% for those experiencing a traumatic event and has most frequently involved samples that have experienced PTSD that was related to earthquakes (in Haiti, Japan, Nepal). The negative effects have included cognitive disability, sleep disorders, medical conditions/diseases, depression and mortality. The predictors/risk factors include female gender, worrying, rumination, anxiety, depression, neuroinflammation and stress from loss of friends, relatives, pets and/or property. The interventions have included reducing the stigma of PTSD, alternative therapies including yoga and mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy and medications. Potential underlying biological mechanisms include hypothalamic pituitary adrenal system dysfunction involving elevated cortisol during immediate stress and cortisol depletion during prolonged stress, connectivity dysfunction in the brain as well as white and grey matter loss and gene pathways. These have been noted in the “fear learning and memory network” of the prefrontal, amygdala, hippocampal and anterior cingulate cortex regions of the brain. Methodological limitations include the samples being primarily those with PTSD following earthquakes and the self-report data in cross-sectional studies that cannot suggest causality.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of the article was to study the impact of injuries on the attitude of female students to sports activities. The study involved 148 female students who had suffered a sports injury of varying severity. The results of the study were evaluated in 2 groups; the first group consisted of female students with sports grades, and the second group of female students without sports grades. The author's questionnaire was used as a methodology to allow identifying the causes of injuries, the impact of injuries on motivation to engage in physical activity, as well as strategies that contribute to psychological recovery after injury. The results of the survey have showed that the causes of injury among female students with sports grades are more physical exertion, while among female athletes without grades there are psychological factors such as a decrease in self-control. After the injury, 51.5% of female students with grades thought about stopping sports, and 48.5% wanted to continue playing sports, even with moderate injuries. While in the group of female students without grades, 82.6% after receiving an injury thought about stopping physical activity despite having minor injuries. Further research may be related to the prevention of injuries in the process of physical education and sports through increased self-control and stress tolerance of female students.
PRIVATE LAW CONSTRUCTS IN LABOR LEGISLATION
Authors:   Perm State University, Vasilyeva Y. V. , Drachuk M. A. ,   Omsk State University named after F. M. Dostoevsky
Published: November 2024

the present publication aims to analyze the interpenetration of labor and civil law norms in certain mechanisms for regulating sectoral legal relations, while, primarily focusing on private law constructs in labor legislation. Quite common are cases in which it is not enough for the law enforcement officer to rely only on the norms of labor legislation and/or other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms. Based on the above, despite the provisions of Article 5 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the partial use of regulatory constructs that fall outside the sphere of civil law is advisable only if the priority of protecting labor rights and interests protected by law is observed. The authors consider that certain cases of using private law constructs are permissible, and in some situations, the only correct ones, which also aims to reduce the regulatory burden and ensure uniformity of law enforcement practice.
MANIFESTATIONS OF LEGAL ANOMY IN THE FIELD OF IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL NORMS
Authors:   Togliatti State University, Lipinsky D. A. , Ivanov A. A. ,   Togliatti State University
Published: November 2024

the article analyzes the problematic issues of the actual implementation of the prescriptions of constitutional norms. The relevance of the stated research topic is substantiated, as well as the presence of significant discrepancies between the actual and legal constitutions in the Russian Federation. It is noted that the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 was initially considered as a transitional document designed to prepare society for the perception of new social realities. Considered in this capacity, she has already practically completed her tasks. The authors critically assess the applicability of the "living constitution" model within the framework of the general improvement of the foundations of the constitutional system of the Russian state. It is pointed out that the amendment to the 2020 Constitution, which defined new principles of the functioning of public power, strengthened the contradiction between individual provisions in the field of implementation of constitutional norms, and between the spirit and letter of the Basic Law as a whole. Conflicts between constitutional norms determine the emergence of a legal anomie in the field of constitutional law enforcement. Constitutional anomie is considered as one of the components of legal anomie in general. Practical recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness of the domestic Constitution are proposed, and it is concluded that it is necessary to continue the relevant constitutional reform.

The study focused on assessing eight key biomotor abilities: arm-shoulder strength and endurance, static muscular endurance, grip strength, power, speed, agility, and flexibility. Each test was conducted using appropriate equipment and standardized procedures, ensuring accurate score recording for analysis. The data was gathered at Super Shots Tennis Academy and Punjabi Bagh Club in Delhi, India. The statistical analysis involved calculating descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and conducting an independent t-test to determine significance. The analysis was performed using SPSS Version 25, with a significance level of 0.05.
Results. The independent t-test comparing the biomotor abilities of international and national tennis players showed no significant differences in pull-ups, push-ups, speed, agility, or flexibility (p > 0.05). However, significant differences were found in wall squat hang, vertical jump, and hand grip strength (p < 0.01), with international players demonstrating superior performance.
Conclusions. In conclusion, the study reveals notable differences in certain biomotor abilities between international and national players, especially in static muscular endurance, explosive leg power, and hand grip strength. The findings suggest that national tennis players implementing targeted strength and power exercises, along with specialized endurance training, may exhibit enhanced overall biomotor abilities and improved on-court performance.

Objective: Trimetazidine (TMZ) is a cardioprotective drug with anti-ischemic and anti-hypoxic metabolic actions. This study aims to investigate the impact of TMZ on the contractile and recovery properties of isolated papillary heart muscle under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Methods: Left ventricular papillary muscles were harvested from 40 Wistar rats. After a 10-minute equilibration period in a normoxic bath, contractile and relaxation responses were recorded in normoxic and hypoxic baths with varying concentrations of TMZ (0 M, 5 x 10–6 M, and 5 x 10-5 M). The specimens were then re-perfused with oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit solution (95% O2 and 5% CO2) and equilibrated for 10 minutes in a normoxic bath. Recovery contractile and relaxation responses were measured. Results: Both doses of TMZ had a negative inotropic effect on muscle (p < 0.001), resulting in a limited decline in biomechanical performance in the hypoxic bath (p < 0.001). However, both doses of TMZ also increased the recovery biomechanical performance compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Under normoxic conditions, TMZ pretreatment alone did not show any cardioprotective effect. However, adding TMZ at a concentration of 5 x 10-6 M, a therapeutic level in humans, reduced ischemic contracture and improved postischemic recovery of contraction forces in both pretreated and control groups. Despite trimetazidine’s negative inotropic effect under normoxic conditions, near-therapeutic doses of the drug have significant protective effects on isolated papillary heart muscle contractility, leading to improved contractile function under hypoxic conditions.

Given the price tag of commercially available devices, developing a low-cost, portable pupilometer based on the Raspberry Pi platform is significant for advancing clinical and research applications in neurology and circadian rhythm studies. This study aimed to design and characterize a pupilometer capable of assessing pupillary light response (PLR) to different wavelengths and its relationship with circadian cycles. Using a Raspberry Pi, a no-infrared filter (NoIR) camera, and custom software, the device was tested on a healthy 24-year-old female subject over 20 days, measuring responses to 635 nm (red) and 463 nm (blue) light stimuli at two daily intervals (8:00 AM and 8:00 PM) in both eyes. Results showed that blue light induced greater pupillary constriction than red light (F(1)= 284.37, p=6.9e-27), with more pronounced responses in the morning (F(1)=12.02, p=0.001), likely due to higher parasympathetic activity. Significant lateral asymmetry (F(1)=12.36, p=0.0008) was also observed in the pupillary response to blue light, suggesting potential intracranial factors. These findings demonstrate the pupilometer's efficacy in capturing detailed pupillary dynamics, proposing its utility to evaluate pupillary light response in connection with circadian rhythms and lateral asymmetry, providing an affordable solution.
No City for Workers: Housing Affordability Trends and Public Policy Implications in Milan
Authors: Bricocoli Massimo , Peverini Marco
Published: November 2024

As the housing affordability crisis strikes many cities around the world, public institutions and citizens have started to become aware of growing problems in the access to adequate affordable housing. The issue is particularly evident in Milan, where increased attractiveness is paralleled by a huge rise in housing prices. This article presents the results of research conducted by the Affordable Housing Observatory of Milan, contributing to public knowledge on housing affordability problems and envisioning possible policies to tackle them. Housing issues are contested and political in nature, and in the Italian context the debate is often led by the voice of the real estate sector while data are highly fragmented and knowledge about housing affordability is limited, especially in Milan. We fill this gap by conducting an original analysis of existing public data on the housing market, the labour market and incomes to highlight the trends in housing affordability in Milan. We focus on the period starting in 2015, a turning point for Milan with the international EXPO and the beginning of an intense phase of urban transformation and real estate development. The article shows how the increase in housing prices and rents has outpaced growth in incomes and wages by nearly a factor of three and how a major share of income earners in Milan cannot afford decent housing. These trends expose lower-income residents to the risk of expulsion and condition access to a job in the city to ownership of assets or financial assistance from parents (especially for first-time buyers and the younger generations). Finally, the article reflects on the implications of growing unaffordability with reference to policies targeting housing costs, incomes, and wages.
The Spread of News Deserts in Chile : The Case of the Aysén Region

Published: November 2024

News deserts are areas where the local community lacks reliable media outlets such as newspapers in the context of a global crisis in the press that weakens local civil society through its effect on democracy, social cohesion, and identity. This study focuses on the remote Aysén region of Chile which despite being territorially the third largest region in the country has the smallest population (108,306). This research employs a triangular methodology, incorporating a quantitative dimension using public data with systematic searches, a régiónál news desert media map and a social network metrics analysis, alongside qualitative methods such as a case study on the territory with semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation conducted between January and February 2023. The findings indicate that 20% of Aysén is at significant risk of becoming a news desert while 40% is already classified as such. The limited availability of diverse sources of information, the lack of adequate digital infrastructure, and the economic challenges faced by small media outlets are among the key contributing factors. Furthermore, the study posits potential solutions, including the establishment of collaborative networks and the advancement of mobile journalism, with the aim of reinforcing local identity and public institution strategies. Although the insights presented are primarily focused on the Aysén region, they could be extended to other Latin American and global regions facing comparable media vulnerabilities.

The article reveals the evolution of international military support for Ukraine from countries like the United States of America, Germany, France, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war from a historical and analytical perspective. The role of the specified states in the provision of military aid, as well as its volumes in the period related to the beginning of the armed conflict in the East of our country in 2014 – 2021, and during the new stage of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which began on February 24, 2022 was studied. The purpose of the article is to make a comprehensive historical and analytical analysis of the international military support of Ukraine in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war during 2014–2024 through the prism of modern history. The scientific novelty lies in the study of the historical evolution of international military support for Ukraine and the volumes of military aid received from the United States of America, Germany, France, and the Baltic states, starting from the “undeclared” war in the East (2014 – 2021) and continuing through the period that began with a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine (February 24, 2022 – early 2024). Conclusions. Having studied this topic from a historical and analytical point of view, we draw the following conclusions. International military support has undergone a certain evolution during the ten years of the war in Ukraine. So, if at first the partner countries provided mainly non-lethal weapons and funds, in the last two years since the beginning of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have received from the partner countries a large amount of military equipment and weapons, which are simply necessary not only for defense but also for successful offensive operations. However, it is worth noting that currently the country needs an increase in international military support, which will help the Armed Forces of Ukraine not only to deter the enemy but also to de-occupy the territories seized by Russia and restore the borders of Ukraine, recognized by the international community as of 1991.
