Protest as an act of love
Authors: Bekker Martin
Published: September 2021

In a world filled with "ambient violence", public protest is a vital signal of shared discontent. The essential compulsion at the heart of protest, however, is conventionally not recognised for what it is: solidarity with those suffering injustices. Despite this overabundance of discourses, it often remains unclear what protest, at heart, constitutes. That is, what are we talking about when we talk about protest, and why does this question matter? In this paper I consider the constituent parts of protest formation in the abstract, including grievances, gestures, and tactics, among other. Developing these constituent parts reveals protest to be, first and foremost, a manifestation of a nonhegemonic ethical commitment to justice, requiring courage and coordination, and whose outcome is always contingent, that is, an act of love. I also reflect on the nature of protest as a direct political action that sits on a continuum that ranges from opposition politics to civil war. This continuum offers a graded view ranking expressions of discontent by severity of outcome.

STEM integrated education and multimodal educational material
Authors:   Department of Early Childhood Education, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece, Tsoukala Cecilia Kikilia
Published: September 2021

The present article aims to underline the role of multimodal educational material in STEM Integrated early childhood education. Through social semiotics assumption that meaning arises in action and interaction, we argue that robotics, digital media, haptic materials, toys, books, tablets, actions, and artifacts have an active and dynamic role in multimodal learning and construct meaning in young children's STEM educational process. The literature review has revealed a research gap concerning combined multimodal aspects in STEM concepts for young children. We adopted a mixed-method collective case study design based on four case studies in which children interact with multimodal STEM educational material. Due to the principles for effective STEM teaching and the perspectives of integrated STEM education, our findings illustrate that MmEM in STEM concepts, through play-based, model-based, inquiry-based teaching practices (among other open-ended), may provide to children multimodal learning environments, engage them in authentic and meaningful learning, promote teamwork, communication and social skills, challenge and motivate them to make meaning of their learning.

Pre-condition of increase of efficiency of budgetary process at local level is decentralization of power, optimum distributing of plenary powers and legislative settlement of questions, in the field of forming of the self-sufficient proper capital base. Sharing the looks of leading research workers of economists and practical workers, we will mark that one of important pre-conditions of increase of efficiency of budgetary process at local level in the conditions of financial decentralization is creation of effective capital base, capable enough to provide implementation of both own and delegated, plenary powers.For effective control of such it is necessary to use a wide range of tools that involve the use of variousmarketing tools, primarily to enhance the image of appropriate administrative units which lead to a gradual influx of investment that will ensure the economic well-being of the respective territories. This, in turn, will determine a sufficient capital base to increase the efficiency of the budget process at the local level in the transformation of inter-budgetary relations.In the process of developing the areas of financial support of local budgets, it is necessary to take a set of measures to inform about the prospects of doing business, the corresponding development of business zones, the establishment of cooperation, et al. As positive experience shows, more attractive for investment are territories where efforts of the proper organs of local self-government are oriented on solution of the complex decision of problems of local value, in particular such as complex development of infrastructure, improvement of terms of dwelling, assistance realization of economic activity; a significant increase in the level of competitiveness of economic entities, etc.The pre-condition for the increase of efficiency of budgetary process at local level in the conditions of financial decentralization is determination of level of attractiveness of territorial formations witha purpose of bringing in investment resources, which will contribute to expansion of different types of activity, placing new enterprises on different territories, providing of increase of level of employment of local population, rational and effective use of factors of production, which will provide growth of gross regional product, growth of welfare, and bring investments in a social sphere

Testing the validity of the pollution haven hypothesis for regionally leading emerging economies
Authors: DEMİRAL Özge , DEMİRAL Mehmet
Published: September 2021

This study tests the validity of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) for the case of six emerging industrial economies with a relatively higher competitive industrial performance compared to the other developing countries in their region. The sampled countries are China (East Asia), Poland (Europe), Mexico (Latin America), India (South Asia), South Africa (Africa), and Turkey (Europe and the Middle East). The study adopts a Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) approach to the Pollution-Intensive Industrial Products (PIIPs) and differs from many relevant studies by grouping PIIPs and distinguishing a wide range set of factors between those that directly affect the RCA in PIIPs and those that have indirect effects through attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Estimations of random-effects models over the period 1995-2018 provide weak support for the validity of PHH: Despite inward FDI stocks are positively associated with the RCA indices of higher polluting industries, the environmental policy elasticity of inward FDI stocks is slight and insignificant. The study argues that the evidence of the PHH may change over proxies, measurements, model construction, and (more importantly) the classification of PIIPs that should be considered by future studies while analyzing the PHH.

Dynamic network connectedness of BRICS equity markets during the Covid-19 era
Authors: POLAT Onur
Published: September 2021

This study examines the return and volatility network connectedness of BRICS equity markets between January 2019 and March 2021 by utilizing the time varying parameter-VAR (TVP-VAR) based frequency connectedness approach of Barunik and Ellington (2020). In this context, we estimate short-, medium-, and long-term network return and volatility connectedness of BRICS equity markets during an episode that covers the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we focus on the network structures of frequency return/volatility connectedness at a tranquil time (March 11, 2019) and at a turmoil time (March 11, 2020) to compare the magnitude of pairwise spillovers. Both dynamic total overall return and volatility connectedness indexes markedly surged aftermath the COVID-19 outbreak, and accordingly indicate the significant impact of the COVID-19 on the BRICS equity markets connectedness. Network structures of dynamic return and volatility connectedness indicate remarkably amplified pairwise spillovers on March 11, 2020.
Sovyetler Birliği kolonyal bir imparatorluk muydu?
Authors: DÜĞEN Turgay
Published: September 2021

XX. yüzyılın başında Rusya’da gerçekleşen Bolşevik Devrimi, içinde bulunduğu yüzyılda dünya siyaseti için ve sonrasındaki yüzyılda ise Avrasya coğrafyasının siyasi ve sosyokültürel yapısı için belirleyici bir rol oynamıştır. Dünya siyasi tarihinde kolonyalizm nasıl ki siyasi sınırları, ekonomik ilişkileri ve sosyokültürel yapıları belirleyen bir etken olduysa, Sovyetler Birliği de Avrasya coğrafyası için en az o kadar etkili olmuştur. Bu makalede, kolonyalizm ve post-kolonyalizm çalışmaları ekseninde Sovyetler Birliği’nin kolonyalist bir imparatorluk olup olmadığının cevabı aranmıştır. Kolonyalizm çalışmaları açısından Rusya Çarlığının bile kolonyalist bir imparatorluk olup olmadığı farklı gerekçelerle tartışmalıyken, Sovyetler Birliği’nin kolonyalist bir yapı olup olmadığı sorusuna nasıl cevap aranmalıdır? Makalede, Kolonyalizm çalışmalarındaki kolonyalizm tanımından hareketle, Sovyetler Birliği’nin hedefleri, söylemleri, araçları ve nihayetinde ortaya çıkan durum ve yapı değerlendirilmiştir. Makalede Sovyetler Birliği, ekonomik ve idari yapıdan ziyade kimlik politikaları, yerel kimliklerin asimilasyonu ve Ruslaştırma siyaseti üzerinden incelenmiştir. Hem Kolonyalizm çalışmalarında hem de Post-kolonyalizm çalışmalarında Sovyetler Birliği genellikle konu dışında tutulmuştur. Konu dışında tutulmasını gerektiren farklılara sahip olmasına rağmen bununla birlikte Sovyetler Birliği’nin Kolonyalizm çalışmaları içinde değerlendirilmesini gerektirecek kadar benzer özellikleri de haizdir.
Some Features of the Mysterious Invisible World of Sufism
Authors:   Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Ismoilov L. E. , Yuzmukhametov R. T. ,   Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University
Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the reflection of the theme of dreams in Sufi writings, mainly manakibs (Lives of Saints), relating to the Middle-Age Transoxiana. Sufism is the earliest form of the spread of the Islamic faith in the world. Sufism has absorbed both some elements of the Qur'anic teachings, and many popular beliefs associated with the belief in supernatural forces. Sufis are people who dedicated their lives to the knowledge of God through various spiritual practices, one of which is, for example, the interpretation of dreams. In these dreams there are various images that are interpreted as flukes of providence, for example, appearing Saint Khidr (or Khoja Khizr) in a dream, who is considered as absolute authority and patron of the Sufis, and who is the bearer of the moral principle; he supports and guides people on the path of virtue. On the opposite side there is the genies community, which is “hostile” towards the Sufi community. Moreover, many Sufi authorities interpreted their presence in dreams or in reality as “good” or “bad” omens. Constant presence of such theme in Muslim hagiographic writings reflects the complex and specific worldview of Sufism. Some historical and Muslim hagiographic works (manakibs) of the late Medieval Transoxiana became the source base of our work. They contain numerous hagiographic episodes that tell us of such unusual phenomena in the life of Sufis. The subject of this article is the study of the dreaming spiritual practice of the Sufis. The purpose of the research is to study the phenomenon of dreams and its significance in Sufism, to consider the place and meaning of such an important hagiographic character as Khoja Khizra and such creatures as jinn in the Sufi’s worldview. The novelty of this work lies in the introduction of new information contained in the Lives of Muslim Saints of Transoxiana in the 16th century.
Dismantlement of State Foundations through Substitution of Meanings and Adulteration of Values
Authors:   Siberian Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Chernykh V. V.
Published: September 2021

One of the most important tasks of a state in defending its sovereignty is to counteract hostile propaganda aimed at imposing a different way of life designed to promote the decay of a traditional society and the loss of its identity. Counteraction to the destruction of state foundations is the protection of historical truth and combat against all kinds of falsifications of the history of the past, present and future of a country. Bringing the goals of the West home to the population of our country, analyzing the methods and means of propaganda brought against us, refuting the facts of falsification and outright attempts at manipulation are an important area of activity of Russian social scientists, and this article is intended to make a certain contribution to solving this problem.
The Geopolitical Identity of the Bulgarian Nation
Authors:   Sevastopol State University, Kovalevskiy A. A.
Published: September 2021

The article considers the issues of the nature and conditions of the formation of the geopolitical identity of the Bulgarian nation. The author analyzes the specifics of geopolitical thinking in Bulgaria as a small state in South-Eastern Europe associated, on the one hand, with the approval of the “central”, “core” position of Bulgaria on the Balkan Peninsula, and with belonging to “Intermediate Europe” (“Wide South-Eastern Europe”) along with all other Balkan countries on the other hand. It has been shown that the fundamental Bulgarian geopolitical notions are not part of any clearly articulated doctrine, as was the case in neighboring Greece or Serbia, but are the result of a number of political events, due to which the modern Bulgarian national identity begins to take shape. First of all, we are talking about the firman of the Ottoman Sultan, according to which the Bulgarian Autocephalous Church – Exarchate was founded on March 11, 1870, and after that the draft about autonomous Bulgaria worked out at the Istanbul Conference of Ambassadors of the Great Powers (December 1876), and finally – San - Stefan Peace Treaty of 1878, which completed the formation of the national geopolitical ideal of "Greater Bulgaria."

The article examines the potential of using the data from the Harvard Project on the Soviet social system (HPSSS) as a religious studies source. The author has given a review of the Harvard project materials as an object of research by sociologists and historians. The sections of the interviews of the Schedule A and Schedule B, which contain data relevant for religious studies, have been considered. The author revealed some directions and perspectives of the religious studies analysis of the interviews of the Harvard Project from the standpoint of the study of the perception of religion by Russian emigrants of the second wave. The data in the Schedule A interview, that can be analyzed from the perspective of religious studies, are considered in two sections: “Family” and “Philosophy of Life”. The evidence of religious reflection can also be found in Schedule B interviews, fragmented though but equally valuable. On the basis of the interview materials the author has identified possible areas of research: the role of generational factors in the formation of religious views, some peculiarities of the perception of church-state relations, the influence of the historical context and ideological factors on the perception of religion, the dynamics of the religious views of emigrants.
Envisioning Predator Free Miramar
Authors:   , Tuinder Shanika
Published: September 2021

Rapid urbanisation and population growth has led to the fragmentation of vital ecosystems, disconnecting communities from the natural environment, and escalating the worldwide biodiversity crisis that we are currently experiencing. In 2015, New Zealand responded to its biodiversity crisis with the most significant large-scale conservation strategy the nation has seen. The Predator Free 2050 initiative aims to facilitate environmental changes for its indigenous flora and fauna to thrive again.

New Zealand’s conservation approach has typically focused on predator management through off-shore islands and in fenced eco-sanctuaries. However, in order to achieve this nationwide predator-free status, conservation efforts must be extended into the urban realm. The success of this will rely heavily on the engagement of the public. This presents an opportunity to potentiate new knowledge around the links between community engagement and conservation in order to generate socio- ecological relations in urban environments. From a case study approach, this research will explore how landscape architecture can respond to the issues of biodiversity loss, land scarcity, and urban disconnect from nature by strengthening the relationship between social infrastructure and ecological health in an urban environment.

Miramar Peninsula (Wellington) has seen strong community efforts to become the first predator free suburb in the country. Its size and defensibility make it a logical starting point to begin predator management across Wellington city. Watts Peninsula is a prominent cultural and historical landmark located on the northern tip of Miramar Peninsula. Despite its rich heritage, the area receives low levels of public use and is overrun by exotic species. Recently, government funding was allocated to provide recreational, safety and cultural benefits through the establishment of a reserve at Watts Peninsula. This presents an opportunity to address the future upgrade of the reserve by following the principles of Predator Free 2050 initiative, linking conservation with socio-ecological resilience.

Watts reserve has been approached as a case study for developing design-led research. The research is oriented towards facilitating the ecological transformation of the area at the same time that social inclusiveness is embraced. In order to generate tangible changes, a range of small, strategic and feasible spatial interventions have been explored. The applied research methodology showcases the capacity of universities to develop civic engagement by linking national debates with local needs. The final aim of the research is to reflect how landscape architecture can catalyse the urban conservation movement to improve the habitability and sociability of our cities.

Published: September 2021

Cases of measles among 165 vaccinated and unvaccinated children were studied and the level of measles antibody in 230 previously vaccinated children was determined. Associations between demographic factors and immunological response to vaccination were also investigated. Approximately 80% of the children with measles had been vaccinated;their cases had significantly lower rates of complication. Rural areas accounted for significantly higher numbers of unvaccinated cases. Vaccination status did not correspond to place of exposure, duration of prodrome or accuracy of preliminary diagnosis. The seropositivity rate among vaccinated children was 86.1% with no significant variation with age. We recommend a second dose of measles vaccine and maintaining high vaccine coverage

The feeding patterns of 694 children ranging from 12 to 24 months of age were studied. Approximately 91% were exclusively breast-fed at 1 week of age with a further 4% receiving supplementary foods at this stage. At 1 year of age, 52% were receiving breast milk as the only source of milk and 13% were receiving infant formula in addition to breast milk. Inadequate breast milk was the most common reason reported by mothers for discontinuing breast-feeding. Of children receiving formula, 42.9% were receiving diluted formula.70.9% of mothers introduced solid foods at 4 to 6 months of age while 5.8% did not introduce solid foods until after the age of 8 months

A total of 660 patients referred to the genetics clinic, Medical Research Institute, Alexandria were assessed to determine the frequency of genetic disorders and the proportion of autosomal recessive disorders. It was found that 298 [45.2%] patients had genetic disorders, 100 [33.6%] of whom had an autosomal recessive disorder;these included 32 patients with metabolic defects, 18 with haemoglobinopathies and 50 with syndromes and single defects. The frequency of consanguinity among parents of patients with autosomal recessive disorders was high [60%, with 48% first cousins]. The average inbreeding coefficient was higher [0.03] than that reported for the Egyptian population in general [0.01] A total of 660 patients referred to the genetics clinic, Medical Research Institute, Alexandria were assessed to determine the frequency of genetic disorders and the proportion of autosomal recessive disorders.

Authors: Atta H. Y. , Youssef R. M.
Published: September 2021

Mothers’ behaviour relating to child maltreatment, their perceptions of such behaviour and its correlates to parents’ characteristics and family background were investigated. Women with at least one child under 18 years were targeted and given an interview questionnaire. A high proportion of mothers reported maltreatment behaviour that constituted emotional [69.0%] and physical [57.1%] abuse as well as neglecting the child’s safety [43.8%], education [46.1%] and medical care [53.3%]. Mothers tended to perceive neglectful behaviour rather than abusive behaviour as child maltreatment. Child maltreatment was significantly associated with parents’ level of education, father’s occupation, mother’s working status, financial problems, mother’s age at the birth of the first child, number of offspring, crowding index and maternal perceptions of maltreatment

Published: September 2021

The relation between drug addiction and tuberculosis was assessed in a comparative prevalence study. A group of 561 male addicts were compared with a group of 1532 non-addicts of similar sociocultural background. The results of infection rate showed a statistically significant difference X [2] = 72, P < 0.001] in the proportion of positive tuberculin sensitivity between the groups [66.7% among addicts versus 45.6% in the control group]. Fourteen active cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were found among the addicts with no case in the control group. This gives a prevalence rate of 2500/100 000 addicts, more than 150 times the rate in the general population. Thus, drug addicts are a high-risk group for tuberculosis and a "hidden source" of the disease in the community
Implications of fructose in liver tumours of the Egyptian toad
Authors: Sadek I. A.
Published: September 2021

Environmental factors play an important role in the etiology of several types of cancer;this discovery has led to a great deal of interest in the role of diet in cancer etiology. It is well known that some factories which produce jams and juices use fructose rather than glucose or sucrose to sweeten their products. This study demonstrates that fructose insignificantly enhances the incidence of liver tumours in Egyptian toads previously injected with 7, 12-dimethylbenz [a] -anthracene
