Morfología del fruto y semilla, y tratamientos pregerminativos de Annona reticulata
Authors: Vargas-Simón Georgina , López-Méndez Deyanira , Pire Reinaldo
Published: November 2022

Annona reticulata es una especie nativa del Neotrópico, poco domesticada, común en huertos familiares y su fruto es de sabor agradable. Como una estrategia de conservación del germoplasma, y considerando que determinados tratamientos pregerminativos pueden favorecer su capacidad de germinación, se plantearon dos objetivos: la caracterización morfológica de frutos y semillas, y el estudio de la respuesta a varios tratamientos pregerminativos. Las muestras provienen de Tabasco, México. Se midieron frutos y semillas. Las semillas se sometieron a seis tratamientos pregerminativos: Testigo (T1), escarificación mecánica (T2), remojo en ácido giberélico (AG3 100 mg L-1 por 3 h) (T3), remojo en AG3 (100 mg L-1 por 6 h) (T4), remojo en AG3 a 200 mg L-1 por 3 h (T5), y escarificación mecánica + remojo en AG3 (100 mg L-1 por 24 h) (T6). Se determinó el porcentaje total de germinación (PG) y la tasa de germinación (TG) en un ensayo completamente al azar con cinco repeticiones. El peso promedio del fruto fue de 422,2 g, con 113,8 semillas, de los cuales el 69,22 % estuvo representado por el peso de la pulpa. La germinación criptocotilar epígea inició el día 17 y alcanzó su máximo (76,6 %) el día 31. La escarificación mecánica (T2) promovió los mayores valores de PG y TG, mientras que el uso del AG3 afectó la germinación y produjo los menores valores a medida que se incrementaron las concentraciones y tiempos de remojo del producto.

Published: November 2022

El desarrollo de producción hidro-energética al norte de los Andes de Sudamérica se ha centrado en la cuenca Magdalena. Para esta cuenca se reporta que el 68 % de las especies de peces son endémicas y no se han estudiado los efectos que producen estas estructuras sobre sus ensamblajes en los ríos de alta montaña. Este trabajo responde preguntas asociadas a las características que describen el ensamblaje de peces y la influencia que ejercen algunas variables ambientales sobre su distribución en el transcurso de los periodos hidrológicos de sequía y lluvias en el área de influencia de dos embalses. Se capturaron siete especies de peces, cuatro de ellas no nativas de la cuenca. No se encontraron diferencias significativas de las abundancias entre los sistemas acuáticos y entre la temporalidad climática. La riqueza fue mayor en las quebradas y ríos. Los ensamblajes cambiaron según el sistema acuático, en embalses dominaron las especies no nativas Micropterus salmoides y Cyprinus carpio mientras que en las quebradas y ríos el ensamblaje estuvo conformado principalmente por Hemibrycon caucanus y Trichomycterus sp. Los ensamblajes no presentaron diferencias estadísticas entre periodos climáticos. Por otra parte, observamos que variables fisicoquímicas como el oxígeno y la transparencia, son importantes para la distribución de las especies no nativas en los embalses, y para las especies que se distribuyen en ríos y quebradas, la conductividad fue la variable más influyente. La información proporcionada en este estudio servirá de base para la gestión de la conservación de peces en los Andes.

Published: November 2022

Populations of Norops sagrei, an anole lizard native to Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands, are established in northern Honduras. Here, we report seven new records in six departments for this species in northern, western, central, and southern Honduras, summarize the invasion progress of N. sagrei in the country, and comment on the importance of citizen science in the documentation of non-native species.
Fenología vegetativa y reproductiva de Cinchona micrantha (Rubiaceae) en un bosque húmedo de Jaén, Perú
Authors: Fernandez Zarate Franklin Hitler , Huaccha Castillo Annick Estefany
Published: November 2022

Cinchona micrantha, conocida comúnmente como árbol de la quina, es una especie con alto valor medicinal que se popularizó por su uso antimalárico y propiedades febrífugas y que en la actualidad se encuentra catalogada como especie amenazada. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar el comportamiento fenológico de C. micrantha en un bosque húmedo de la comunidad La Cascarilla, Jaén, Perú, de enero a diciembre de 2018. Para ello se eligieron al azar 35 árboles. La caracterización fenológica se realizó mensualmente, se registraron datos de las variables biológicas vegetativas como hojas nuevas, hojas maduras y abscisión foliar, y reproductivas como floración, presencia de frutos inmaduros, frutos maduros y frutos dehiscentes, y se correlacionaron con datos de precipitación, temperatura y fotoperiodo de la zona de estudio. Se evidenciaron hojas nuevas, hojas maduras y abscisión foliar todo el año. Existe una correlación negativa entre las fenofases de floración y de fruto inmaduro con el fotoperiodo (rs= -0,85, P= 0,02 y rs= -0,91, P= 0,01 respectivamente), y una correlación negativa entre la fenofase de fruto maduro con la precipitación y temperatura mínima (rs= -0,61, P=0,04 y rs= -0,60, P=0,05 respectivamente). Los resultados sugieren que la temperatura, precipitación y fotoperiodo podrían determinar la fenología reproductiva de C. micrantha, sin embargo, este patrón no se observó en la fenología vegetativa debido a que es una especie perennifolia. Estas variaciones fenológicas son relevantes para la conservación de la especie.
Defensive Behavior in Rhinella bergi and Rhinella mirandaribeiroi (Anura: Bufonidae)
Authors: Nehemy Ibrahim Kamel Rodrigues , Mângia Sarah , Carvalho Priscila Santos , Santana Diego José
Published: November 2022

Here we report two cases of defensive behavior known as “stiff-legged”, unprecedented for the species Rhinella bergi and R. mirandaribeiroi. We registered the behavior at localities in Mato Grosso do Sul and Minas Gerais states, Brazil. With our records, there are now five species from open areas that exhibit this behavior. We assume that the species that inhabit these areas exhibit this avoiding predation behavior simulating a dead body on the ground, behavior known as “death feigning”, unlike forest species, which use this strategy to camouflage themselves between the leaves.
José Celestino Mutis and the gestation of ichthyology in the Viceroyalty of New Granada
Authors: Agudelo Zamora Henry Dario
Published: November 2022

José Celestino Mutis, mostly known for his contributions in the botanical field, however; made significant, if little known, scientific additions in fields from mathematics to zoology. In this paper, I present to the public, for the first time, Mutis’ work on ichthyology in the Viceroyalty of New Granada, the colonial Spanish denomination for the northern part of South America that includes the present-day countries of Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, work that, as Linnaeus himself stated, will immortalize Mutis for future generations.
Dieta de Telmatobius atacamensis (Anura: Telmatobiidae): primeros aportes al conocimiento sistemático del nicho trófico
Authors: Abdenur Araos Florencia , Vera Rolando , Castro-Cavicchini Sofia , González-Turu Nancy , Núñez Alejandro , Acosta Rebeca
Published: November 2022

Telmatobius atacamensis, anuro microendémico de la Puna salteña, tiene hábitos exclusivamente acuáticos. Está categorizado como especie en peligro crítico a nivel global y como amenazada a nivel nacional. El conocimiento de la ecología trófica es útil para mejorar manejo y conservación de una especie y, debido a que esta información es escasa, el objetivo fue describir y analizar su dieta. Mediante la técnica de lavado estomacal se obtuvieron 37 contenidos de individuos recolectados en los ríos San Antonio y Los Patos durante un ciclo anual (2018), una vez al mes. Se registraron 724 presas, pertenecientes a diez órdenes; dípteros, coleópteros y hemípteros fueron los más importantes. No hubo correlación significativa entre el tamaño depredador-presa. Tampoco hubo diferencias significativas entre hembras, machos y juveniles y el número y volumen de presas consumidas. El índice de diversidad de la dieta fue de 1,05 y la amplitud del nicho trófico estandarizado fue de 0,09. La superposición de nicho entre las categorías fue de Ojk = 0,80. De acuerdo con el índice de similitud de Jaccard, las dietas de hembras y juveniles fueron más semejantes (71 %). Presentaron una predominancia al consumo de invertebrados de hábitos bentónicos y, si bien se encontraron  presas de hábitos terrestres, podría deberse a un consumo accidental. Este consumo desproporcionado de fauna bentónica estaría directamente relacionado con los hábitos de vida de la especie. Por otro lado, la composición de la dieta no varía significativamente entre las categorías consideradas, sin registrar diferencias en la cantidad y volumen de presas.
Modelo de distribución y estado de conservación de la lagartija de Lorenz Müller Liolaemus lorenzmuelleri en relación a las concesiones mineras de Chile
Authors: Chávez-Villavicencio César
Published: November 2022

Liolaemus lorenzmuelleri, endémica de Chile, está presente entre la laguna de Los Helados y el embalse de La Laguna, de 2300 a 4000 m de altitud. La Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN) clasificó a L. lorenzmuelleri como En peligro, mientras que el Estado chileno lo clasificó como Vulnerable. Las conceptualizaciones diferentes y no exhaustivas de la distribución geográfica de esta especie contribuyen a esta discrepancia de clasificación. Sin embargo, en ambas clasificaciones, la principal amenaza fue la destrucción del hábitat por la actividad minera. Dada la distribución incierta de esta especie y el continuo crecimiento de la minería en Chile, se revisaron exhaustivamente datos relevantes de las localidades para desarrollar un modelo de distribución potencial utilizando MaxEnt, el que se superpuso con el mapa de concesiones mineras para dimensionar la gravedad de la amenaza de la minería. El modelo de distribución presentó un área de 16 919 km2 en altitudes entre 1750 y 4250 m y, dependió de la elevación y la temperatura media del trimestre más húmedo. La superposición del modelo con las concesiones mineras redujo la distribución potencial a 9952 km2 generando fuerte fragmentación. A pesar de este escenario de fragmentación y la presencia de la especie en las concesiones mineras otorgadas, este trabajo indicó que L. lorenzmuelleri debería ser reclasificada como Vulnerable B1ab(i)+B1ab(ii)+B1ab(iii) por la UICN, homologando la categoría con la del gobierno chileno. En consecuencia, es necesario priorizar un plan de  conservación para L. lorenzmuelleri.

Respecto a la aplicación del tema ambiental por parte de los profesores se presenta un nivel medio en los ámbitos físico, pedagógico y didáctico y un nivel alto en el ámbito académico; en consecuencia, en necesario establecer políticas ambientales de manera explícita en los planes estratégicos y los currículos de estudio para que el futuro profesional asuma su compromiso ambiental al momento de ejecutar proyectos de infraestructura civil.
Percepción estudiantil sobre el uso de metodologías no tradicionales en la enseñanza de la ingeniería
Authors: Cardona-Valencia Daniel , Betancur-Duque Fray Alonso
Published: November 2022

Esta investigación presenta un análisis de la percepción e intención de uso de estrategias metodológicas no tradicionales como herramientas de enseñanza-aprendizaje en procesos académicos educativos de estudiantes de ingeniería. Para el análisis se utiliza la adaptación de un modelo TAM, analizando aspectos como la actitud, la intención y facilidad de uso, la utilidad, y la confianza. Como resultado, se evidencia un deficiente uso de las herramientas categorizadas como innovadoras, aún en áreas de la ingeniería que se relacionan con experimentación y actividades prácticas. La actitud de los estudiantes hacia el uso del juego serio se explica principalmente por la facilidad de uso y la confianza percibida, siendo la utilidad percibida, a su vez, el antecedente más importante de la intención de adoptar estas estrategias.

Published: November 2022

Companies operating transportation fleets can participate indistinctly in the roles of logistics operator and marketer in the supply chain. The objective of this study is to propose the vehicles degradation monitoring in a company which takes part with a combination of roles in the supply chain, thru the availability indicator, a control limit based on the impacts on the economic result of the vehicles operation and considering the subcontracting influence. This proposal permits to identify the vehicles that impact positively or negatively on the entity economic result and thus the detection of opportunities for improvement. The classification of the impact of the vehicle is done by the graphical method through the Rationality Status Chart. The proposal application to a real fleet allowed to identify the vehicles that negatively impact the economic results. Concordance analysis is used to validate the results, obtaining an almost perfect degree of general agreement.

Soil nailing wall with vertical nails to displacement reduction: Brazilian Practice
Authors: Querelli André , Souza Tiago de Jesus , Cepeda André Augusto
Published: November 2022

Most of the time, geotechnical engineering interventions require solutions that necessarily aim for better use of the available space. Many slope stabilization techniques were developed following that assumption, and one of the most applied procedures in Brazil is the soil nailing reinforcement. These engineering techniques are constantly improving. Consequently, a continuous study of the design and behavior of soil nails is important. The technique of vertical nails reinforcement in soil nailing is recent in the Brazilian scenario. Nowadays, some constructors started to use them near the slope face when stabilizing huge excavations. This paper aims to verify the vertical nails’ efficiency in reducing horizontal displacements. We present three numerical modeling analyses using the finite elements method (FEM). The proposed model is a soil nailing of approximately 18m high in a homogeneous subsoil in São Paulo city. Comparing situations with and without vertical nails, as if an inclined face (slope), the results showed that adding those nails could reduce horizontal displacements.
Organizational social commitment and employee well-being: illustrating a construct mining approach in R
Authors: Pérez-Rave Jorge Iván , Correa-Morales Juan Carlos , González-Echavarría Favián
Published: November 2022

How employees react to an organization’s ethical/social initiatives has little support in terms of empirical evidence. We examine employee perceptions about organizational social commitment (OSC) and its association with employee well-being (WB). The sample consists of 289 participants of a healthcare organization in Colombia. We use a comprehensive methodology for mining psychological/managerial constructs in R comprising six processes (observe, explore, confirm, explain, predict, and report). We provide information concerning the scales’ plausibility, reliability, convergent/discriminant validity, and equity. We contrast the relationship between OSC and WB by using structural equation modelling with bootstrap approaches. We examine the capability of OSC to predict WB by using machine learning methods. We found a positive relationship between the constructs, which shows that OSC is a valuable strategy for contributing to employee objectives from a ‘being well together’ perspective. The paper stimulates/facilitates future research and teaching-learning initiatives in latent variable analysis using the R language.

Se realizó un estudio para determinar el costo exergético de la producción de biocarbón a base de cuesco de palma de aceite mediante pirolisis lenta en un horno de experimental y uno piloto. Inicialmente se evaluaron flujos másicos, energéticos y exergéticos aplicando la metodología de escalamiento de Costo Exergético Específico (CEE), basada en el concepto recurso-producto. Se determinaron las eficiencias energéticas y exergéticas de los equipos y se calculó el costo exergético. El costo exergético de 1 kg de biocarbón es de 38990 $-kJ/kJ para el horno experimental y 206 $-kJ/kJ para el horno piloto. En conclusión, el costo exergético del biocarbón puede variar dependiendo de los equipos, las condiciones de operación y el lugar en donde se produzca. Se recomienda realizar el aprovechamiento del calor y de la energía que contienen los gases para optimizar los procesos.

The COVID-19 Pandemic and its Implications for Food Consumer Behavior: A Bibliometric Analysis of Institutionally Affiliated Research in Brazil
Authors: Franco Antonio Carlos , Silva Franco Luciane
Published: November 2022

Marketing is the social and managerial process through which individuals obtain what they need and want in creating and exchanging products. The literature on food consumer behavior has been receiving significant interest during the covid-19 pandemic, and studies highlight diverse research on business. This article seeks to examine the covid-19 pandemic and its implications for the food consumer behavior in Brazil. To that end, the Methodi Ordinatio was applied to identify the most relevant studies in the area, which supported the research, analysis, selection and systematic reading of 25 articles identified in Web of Science and Scopus databases. vosviewer and EndNote software were used in this study for the reference management process and clustering themes and researchers. Our findings show the importance of advances in vaccination, an increase in home office work, home food safety practices, and an increase in food purchases in supermarkets. We conclude that the main financial problems faced during this period are unemployment and debt, while the increased use of food delivery apps emerges as an opportunity. Recent studies mention environmental awareness, sustainable consumption, and social responsibility as key topics. As a suggestion for future research, the authors recommend marketing research involving the regulatory role of pro-social consumption and family farming in times of covid-19.
Factors related to Quinoa Consumption in Peru during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Higuchi Angie , Maehara Rocío , Sánchez-Pérez Luz de los Ángeles
Published: November 2022

Quinoa is a traditional food grain that originated in the Peruvian Andean region. The United Nations declared 2013 to be the International Year of Quinoa (iyq). This official launch had a great impact around the world. On the contrary, it had minor impact on the consumption of quinoa in Peru, which remained relatively steady in the following years. However, the covid-19 pandemic raised concerns about nutrition and health among consumers. Therefore, this study seeks to analyze quinoa consumption in Peru during the covid-19 pandemic. Primary data were collected between September 2020 and August 2021 in Lima Metropolitan Area, Peru. Exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation was performed for data analysis, and logistic binomial analysis was then conducted to consolidate the hypothesis of this study. The main outcomes identified were that (i) current quinoa consumers in Peru ate quinoa even before the iyq; (ii) consumers who are concerned about their health and nutrition needs increased quinoa consumption during the pandemic; (iii) women showed a higher probability of daily to weekly trend in quinoa consumption; and (iv) people with the highest income have more probability of purchasing food at supermarkets than those who earn less. The findings of this study can shed some light on consumers’ expectations and perceptions regarding quinoa consumption behavior during covid-19.
Comportamiento del consumidor de actividades culturales y consumo de artesanías en México antes, durante y su disposición posterior al COVID-19
Authors: Zamacona-Aboumrad Guillermo A. , Barajas-Portas Karla
Published: November 2022

El presente trabajo pretende comprender el comportamiento del consumidor de actividades culturales, así como contrastarlo específicamente con el consumidor de artesanías en México. Adicionalmente, se busca definir diferencias entre perfiles de los consumidores de bienes y servicios culturales. Conocer las particularidades del consumidor de artesanías ayuda con la definición de los programas destinados a mejorar las prácticas de consumo artesanal y promover la participación de la sociedad en dichas actividades. La metodología utilizada ha sido modelos de ecuaciones estructurales (PLS-SEM) para desarrollar el modelo de disposición al consumo, tomando como antecedente las actividades y el consumo previo a la pandemia, y como se modificó durante esta. Asimismo, se muestra un análisis multigrupo entre las diferentes características sociodemográficas para poder discutir sobre las características del perfil del consumidor de artesanías y el perfil de consumidores de actividades culturales. Los resultados indican algunas diferencias de comportamiento entre dichos perfiles, lo que sirve como parámetro para el establecimiento de nuevas políticas públicas y de comunicación y marketing para fomentar el consumo de este sector tan lastimado durante la pandemia por COVID-19. La limitación central del estudio proviene del mismo ámbito de aplicación —el contexto de la pandemia por COVID-19— que pone en relieve cuestionamientos y, al mismo tiempo, muestra posibles vertientes del estudio.
Analyzing Academic Discourse Evolution on Consumer Behavior and COVID-19 Using Topic Modeling
Authors: Bohorquez-Lopez Victor W. , Gutiérrez-Leefmans Manuela
Published: November 2022

The covid-19 pandemic brought changes in consumers’ habits derived from initial confinement in the first year and a second year characterized by an attempt to return to activities under the “new normal” label. Several literature reviews that summarize existing research on consumer behavior and the pandemic have recently emerged. Many of them have a regional or country-specific focus. Others emphasize certain factors under study at the beginning of the pandemic. This study, in contrast, separates the most salient topics found in literature in 2020 from those found in 2021 using a global Scopus database showing the evolution of the academic discourse on consumer behavior as the pandemic developed. Interestingly, some differences show consumers’ evolution throughout the pandemic, seen through the eyes of researchers. Topic modeling highlights the main topics under study in both years. Results show the relevance of four major topics that differ from one year to another. Research on online consumption, however, remains equally important in both years. We propose a theoretical model of consumer behavior research that aims to help consumers understand themselves, managers address strategies accordingly, and policymakers regulate the major issues brought by the pandemic.

informe Pike
Authors: Jardón Pardo de Santayana Pelayo
Published: November 2022

Durante el siglo XIX, la masonería española experimentó un auge sin precedentes gracias a la política consagrada por la Revolución de 1868. No obstante, hubo una falta de unidad, debido a la existencia obediencias rivales. En 1882 Albert Pike, el Gran Comendador del Supremo Consejo de Charleston, emitió un informe para dilucidar cuál era la legítima entre las cuatro obediencias españolas con un sistema de Altos Grados, regidas por el Rito Escocés Antiguo y Aceptado. Todas ellas se arrogaban herederas o continuadoras del Supremo Consejo de España establecido en Madrid por el conde Alexandre-François-Auguste de Grasse Tilly en 1811.

Body as Evidence of Truth
Authors: Roginski Alexandra , Rocha Cristina
Published: November 2022

Practitioners of alternative medicine and spirituality often highlight narratives of healing as evidence for the superiority of their modalities over Western biomedicine. We argue that this form of establishing and defending truth has a long history, and base this analysis on the historical and anthropological study of two periods: the late nineteenth century, when alternative theories about relations of mind, body and spirit flourished against a backdrop of political and religious transformation; and late modernity, when increased self-reflexivity and mistrust of secular institutions such as biomedicine prompted growth in alternative medical systems. Foregrounding the voices of practitioners and ‘clients’, this article outlines how recurring narratives of the healed body position the individual as a person in control of their physical and spiritual journey. In our present time, scrutinizing the healed body as an archive of truth deepens understanding of why denialist beliefs about vaccination and COVID-19 can prove so intractable.

Fluid Intelligence Test Scores Across the Schooling: Evidence of Nonlinear Changes in Girls and Boys
Authors: Tikhomirova Tatiana N. , Malykh Artem S. , Malykh Sergey B.
Published: November 2022

The results of the analyses of the changes of fluid intelligence scores measured by the Standard Progressive Matrices test across all school years were presented. Sex differences in fluid intelligence scores for each year of schooling as well as in fluid intelligence changes across schooling were analyzed. A total of 1581 participants (51.1% boys) aged 6.8 to 19.1 years from one public school were involved in this cross-sectional study, of whom 871 were primary schoolchildren (mean age = 9.23; range 6.8–11.6), 507 were secondary schoolchildren (mean age = 14.06; range 10.8–18.0), and 203 were high schoolchildren (mean age = 17.25; range 15.3–19.1). To examine the changes in fluid intelligence both correlation analysis and polynomial regression of the total, boys’ and girls’ samples were performed. Linear, quadratic, and cubic regression models were fitted to the data. To explore sex differences in fluid intelligence in each year of schooling, the series of ANOVA were carried out. The results revealed that the school-age change in fluid intelligence is nonlinear for both girls and boys. The changes for girls during the schooling are best described by a quadratic relationship while those for boys are best reflected by a cubic relationship.

This nested case study (multiyear research critical discourse analysis—in this case, the first year) aims to provide support in the form of linguistic recommendations to the law reform, particularly on the issues of Muslim women's bodies, sexuality, and domestication based on the textual analysis of the patriarchal language used by different Islamic strands: Muhammadiyah's, Nahdlatul Ulama's and Salafi's clerics in their preaching in Indonesia. This is significant because such a study is relatively limited in Indonesian cases. However, it also shed light on how discrepant linguistic manners of these male clerics were deployed to voice their noblesse oblige about Muslim women's body, sexuality, and domestication as regulatory discourse. The data—six videos of the respective clerics' preaching—were taken from Youtube using purposeful stratified sampling. It is found that Muhammadiyah's cleric delineated this discourse based on the segregation of dubious religiously correct and incorrect propriety, whereas Nahdlatul Ulama's cleric, the apparent religious normality, and Salafi's cleric, the plausible religious propriety.
The Restoration of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia After Exile
Authors: Hovhannisyan Edgar
Published: November 2022

The Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia played an important role in the life of the Armenians of Cilicia. The history of the Catholicosate is divided into two historical periods: “Cilician” and “Diasporian”. This article focuses on the “Diasporian” period of one of the Hierarchical Sees of the Armenian Church in the 1920s–1930s. The historiography of Armenia has never given serious attention to the investigation of the History of the Catholicosate of Cilicia, particularly with respect to the issue of the forced exile of the Catholicosate and the process of its diasporization in the 1920s–1930s. This article focuses on those issues, analyzing the process of diasporization of the Cilician See, its reconstruction under the new circumstances, and its establishment in Antelias (Lebanon). Not all refugees or migrants create a diaspora community, in fact, the most likely result of both voluntary and forced dispersions is assimilation into the host country’s culture. From the analytical perspective of Diaspora Studies, refugees or migrants transform their dispersion into a diaspora only when they insist on sustaining a community and maintaining a national identity. Theorists of modern Diaspora Studies suggest several factors under which dispersed people become an organized diaspora. For this, the role of national institutions is very important, for instance, spiritual-religious organizations. Thus, it is a very acute problem to understand the process of diasporization of a Church organization and its role in the reconstruction of Armenian communities. Different kinds of forced or voluntary migrations are still very common and active in the modern world. Thus, the case discussed in the present article could be useful for understanding many similar processes and historical examples. This research is based on archival documents (including those from the National Archive of Armenia and archival documents of the Catholicosate of Cilicia), the official journal of the Holy See of Cilicia, and existing studies connected to the subject. The analysis of these sources utilizes a comparative-historical methodology. Analyzing the collected data and using the mentioned research method the following problems are discussed and summarized in the article: the forced migration of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia and the process of the reconstruction of it under new circumstances; Antelias as a new spiritual and religious center of the Diaspora after the Armenian Genocide; the role of the Cilician See in the process of the diasporization of Armenian refugees in Syria-Lebanon; the activities of the Catholicosate in their attempts to preserve the national identity of Armenian communities in the Near East after the Genocide.
Collecting Asian Art in the Urals: A Regional Phenomenon in the European Context
Authors: Vinokurov Sergey , Demenova Victoria
Published: November 2022

This article summarises the experience of over ten years behind the study and presentation of Asian collections from the Urals between the nineteenth and early twenty-first centuries. The material presented reveals the regional peculiarities of this process and focuses on the facts and features characteristic of the European tradition of collecting materials from this historical period. The relevance of this material is due to the lack of knowledge of eastern collections in different regions of Russia, mainly kept not in museums of art but in local history museums of various formats, as well as the need to analyse and determine the place of Russian regional collections in the pan-European process of collecting Asian art objects. During this period, in the Urals, which did not have close territorial ties with the countries of the East or large art markets, there was a continuous process of accumulation of extensive collections representing a comprehensive picture of the development of art in several Asian countries (Japan, China, Tibet, Mongolia as well as Buryatia, a Buddhist region of Russia closely associated with it). The article notes objective and arbitrary reasons and events leading to the arrival of individual artworks and entire collections in the Urals, gives examples of such processes in Europe and reveals the specifics and differences between the Ural collections and those in the capital. In addition, the material is supplemented by information about the composition and quantitative indicators of private and museum collections that have formed in the Urals over two centuries. Also, the authors outline research lacunae in the study of individual collections. Following this, the article is divided into three time-blocks, on the one hand, coinciding with historical periods, and, on the other, reflecting changes in the socio-political and cultural life of the country, affecting the nature of the formation of Asian collections in the Urals from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.
The Triumph of Death of the Danse Macabre and the “Eschatological Optimism” of the Synodics
Authors: Dergacheva Irina
Published: November 2022

Comparison of thanatological ideas in different mediaeval cultures makes it possible to understand their value categories formed through works of literature and visual art. Depictions of Death, the “great absentee” of the Middle Ages, and “the first discovery of man on the threshold of modern times” (Le Goff) occupy a leading place in European frescoes and engravings of the fifteenth century. The personification of death in the form of a disgusting monster, reaping a rich harvest from representatives of all ages and classes with a merciless sickle instilled fear and forced everyone to think about the inevitable end. According to the intention of the Catholic clergy, such fear contributed to the development of virtues and the rejection of a sinful lifestyle. The common character of axiological ideas of the culture of Old Rus’ and the countries of Western Europe, based on Christianity, seems to be able to testify to the unity of eschatological views on the problems of “minor” eschatology. However, there is reason to assert that in Russia, unlike Europe, the path to immortality was more captivating than its images, and the fear of deathly torments gave rise to a desire to atone for sins through repentance, prayer, almsgiving, and kindness. Such attitudes are clearly illustrated by the materials of the Russian Synodics, which, unlike the works of Western European danse macabre, marked the finalistic optimism of Russian culture, showing reliable ways to save the person’s soul even during their lifetime, which is why they were called “books of the living”. It was through the comprehension of these aspects of otherness that a special culture of mediaeval Russia was formed.
The Condemnation of Avarice as “Demonic Instigation” in the Illustrations of Synodics of the Early Modern Period
Authors: Sukina Liudmila
Published: November 2022

This article examines visual methods of condemning avarice, which makes a person who wants a luxurious life for themselves and their family easy prey to the devil. The study refers to a series of illustrations for the parable About the Spendthrift, which was part of the literary prefaces to the Russian Synodics of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries whose task was to morally instruct the reader. While there is a noticeable increase in Russian and international researchers’ interest in the Old Russian Synodics, the issue considered in the article has not been addressed in scholarly publications yet. This article aims to reconstruct the miniaturists’ approach to illustrating a short text with a demonological plot, whose content should be interpreted and supplemented by a parallel visual story. The object of the study – book miniatures – predetermines interdisciplinary research and the use of philological and art criticism hermeneutical methods. The research refers to illustrations for the parable About the Spendthrift from the Synodics of the Trinity and St Daniel Monastery from 1672 and Solba St Nicholas Pustyn of the eighteenth century. They are vivid examples of two versions of the iconography of the illustrative series: one that gravitates towards the Russian mediaeval manuscript tradition and one that reproduces the figurative structure and style of the engravings of the Synodic by Leonty Bunin, respectively. The results of the study are based on a comparison of the key episodes of the literary plot of the parable and the visual narrative of the same events. The author concludes that in the miniatures, the desire to “teach through pictures” is traced, and the expressiveness of methods of the homily is not inferior to the book text but surpasses it. Both versions of the iconography of the miniature series tell the same instructive story about sin and punishment. It differs from many other illuminated parables of Synodics as in it, an important infernal person is present, which introduces an unusual nuance into the narrative.
Princes’ Deathbed Addresses to Their Children: The Axiology of Kinship and State (with Reference to The Book of Royal Degrees)
Authors: Melnichuk Valentina
Published: November 2022

This article discusses princes’ deathbed addresses to their children as part of The Book of Royal Degrees. In some cases, they are highlighted by a separate heading; in others, they make part of the text describing the last days of the prince. Most often, they are preceded by the news of the prince’s illness and impending death, and in some cases, they are compiled in detail, in others – laconically. The analysis of the text demonstrates that addresses are not an obligatory element of the narration and are absent in many Royal Degrees. The stories, including the addresses of the princes, are named differently: message, instruction, blessing, and teaching. They are thematically diverse and include motifs of blessing, instructions to hold on to the Orthodox faith, observe the Gospel commandments, the motif of the transience of life, a reminder of the importance of harmony between heirs, and concern for the homeland. The testament of Yaroslav Vsevolodovich (degree 7) stands out among others. He appeals to his sons to support their sisters who have lost their mother and will soon be deprived of their father. The deathbed words of the princes (in two cases those of princesses), different in plot, are designed to trace back a genealogical connection and emphasise the important spiritual and moral heritage transmitted to descendants of Ivan the Terrible. Of particular interest is the will of Dmitry Donskoy composed on the base of the second prince’s testament. As a part of the collection, the genre acquires other features that ensure its embedding in one of the motifs implemented in the narrative. Appeals of princes to princesses in deathbed addresses endowing them with special powers testify to the growing role of family ties in creating an ideal sovereign, from the exaltation of the compiler of The Book of Royal Degrees.
