INFLUENCE OF PROCESS PARAMETERS ON MECHANICAL STRENGTHS OF 3D-PRINTED CARBON-PLA BASED COMPOSITES FOR ORTHOTICS AND PROSTHETICS APPLICATIONS
Authors: Pandey Divya , Pandey Ramesh , Tewari Ravi Prakash
Published: November 2022

The objective of the present work is to study the influence of process parameters on the mechanical behavior of composite material parts developed by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). Carbon-PLA-based composite specimens are used in the present work. Experimental results have shown that with increases in printing temperature from 225°C and 240°C, there is an increase in tensile strength, whereas flexural strength decreases with the temperature rise. The effect of printing orientation is the same on both tensile and flexural strength. Tensile and flexural strengths are higher for flat orientation (0°) than for upright orientation (90°). It is also found that when layer height decreases from 0.3 mm to 0.2 mm, both the tensile and flexural strength increases. The experimental results of the present study signify the importance of Carbon-PLA-based composites for orthotic and prosthetic devices due to their high strength, low cost, and biocompatibility.

Published: November 2022

Box Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the extraction of Paxillus involutus (EPI) in ethanol. The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: temperature 45°C; solid:liquid ratio 1:35; time 5 h. Under these conditions, the yield of EPI was 13.57%. The antioxidant activity of EPI was evaluated in vitro, and DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS free radical scavenging, and hydroxyl free radical scavenging effects were found to be equal to or close to that of the positive control vitamin C (VC). The antioxidant activity of EPI was next evaluated in vivo using aging mice; it was found to have appreciable effect on scavenging malonic dialdehyde (MDA) and could increase the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) in mice. Overall, EPI showed antioxidant effects in aging mice, thereby delaying aging, and has potential for application as a natural antioxidant and in medical applications.

Published: November 2022

Neurodegeneration due to neurotoxicity is one of the phenomena in temporal lobe epilepsy. Experimentally, hippocampal excitotoxicity process can occur due to kainic acid exposure, especially in the CA3 area. Neuronal death, astrocyte reactivity and increased calcium also occur in hippocampal excitotoxicity, but few studies have investigated immediate effect after kainic acid exposure. The organotypic hippocampal slice culture (OHSC) is a useful model for studying the neurodegeneration process, but there are still many protocol differences. In this study, minor modifications were made in the OHSC protocol.

The Benefits and Disadvantages of Part-Time and Contract Work in Arts and Cultural Organizations
Authors:   , Mosco Allison , Yau Pamela
Published: November 2022

In our current economic climate, the subject of the contingent workforce or gig economy is increasingly coming into question. Across industries, research has been done to identify why people choose such work while documenting the often unfair practices that these workers face. Nonprofit organizations are known to utilize part-time or contract workers and are often associated with providing low wages to paid employees, regardless of employment status. However, research on workers in these categories in an arts context is limited. This study was conducted by surveying part-time and contract workers at arts and cultural organizations using the Qualtrics platform to learn about their work experiences. Results were analyzed to identify what benefits or disadvantages they perceive to receive through their work and their motivations for seeking and accepting their positions. The results of the study confirmed the challenges that part-time and contract workers face by nature of their employment categories, such as a lack of benefits and unsatisfactory compensation, while also confirming certain advantages, like schedule flexibility. The results also raised concerns about additional challenges these workers face when combined with those of working for arts and cultural organizations, like high barriers of entry and a demanding work culture. However, more research is needed to explore this topic on a larger scale to identify if these experiences are felt across industry sub-sectors.
Principles of modern dramaturgy and the influence of social justice themes in theatrical productions
Authors:   , Denton Katherine , Yau Pamela , Zitcer Andrew
Published: November 2022

This research was designed to analyze the modern practices in the field of dramaturgy, specifically as they relate to productions with social justice themes. Such productions have become more prevalent in the years following the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements, and it has recently become the role of the dramaturg to support these performances and use them as a tool through which they may begin to facilitate social change. To study this practice, I have performed a multiple case study of two productions with social justice themes. In the first production, Gem of the Ocean, I conducted an interview with dramaturg Kamilah Bush as well as cast member Bobby Bermea. In these two interviews, I was able to discern a definition of dramaturgy that emphasizes the need for flexibility and knowledge that allows cast members to connect more effectively with the characters which they portray, especially in terms of social justice themes. Echoed in my second set of interviews with dramaturg Eric Kildow and lead actor Julie Oliver of Life of Galileo, I saw that the day-to-day duties of a dramaturg can vary greatly, all based upon the needs of a production.
Home Appliances in the Smart Grid: A Heuristic Algorithm-Based Dynamic Scheduling Model
Authors: Abuznaid Anan R.S. , Tutkun Nedim
Published: November 2022

Customers and power utilities alike will benefit from smart grid technology by lowering energy prices and regulating generating capability. The accuracy of information sharing between main grids and smart meters is critical to the performance of scheduling algorithms. Customers, on the other hand, are expected to plan loads, respond to electricity demand alerts, engage in energy bidding, and constantly track the utility company's energy rates. Consumer loyalty can be improved by strengthening the connectivity infrastructure between the service provider and its customers. We suggest a heuristic demand-side control model for automating the scheduling of smart home appliances in order to optimize the comfort of the customers involved. Simulation findings show that the suggested hybrid solution will reduce the peak-to-average ratio of overall energy demand while still lowering total energy costs without sacrificing consumer convenience
Total Harmonic Distortion and Power Factor Analysis of Thyristor Firing Angle on Electrostatic Precipitator in PLTU Unit 3 & 4 Pangkalan Susu Capacity 2 X 200 MW
Authors: Widjonarko Widjonarko , Bachri Samsul , Oktavianus Trio Putra
Published: November 2022

The impact of pollution resulting from exhaust gas in the form of coal ash in the Steam Power Plant makes the Electrostatic Precipitator an equipment that can handle these problems. The equipment has a voltage level regulation system using a thyristor which with a certain value can create an electric field capable of capturing charged ash. The thyristor system has a disturbance known as harmonics. Good handling to overcome harmonics is to measure using a certain index, one of which is the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and to know its effect on the power factor. In this research, an analysis of the electrostatic precipitator system at PLTU Pangkalan Susu will be carried out by collecting the necessary data and the firing angle installed in the company. From the test results, it can be said that the THD value in the Electrostatic Precipitator system at PLTU Units 3 & 4 Pangkalan Susu is in the normal range. To find out the range of compatible firing angles on the system, it is also necessary to provide a test variable angle. Based on the test, it is known that the firing angle installed in the company is 46 degree with THDv and THDi of 4.01 percent and 3.61 percent  respectively and the Power Factor is 0.84876. Whereas with the test variable angle, it is known that the good or normal THDv and THDi values are in the range 30 degree to 60 degree where the THDv value is in the range of 3.83 percent to 4.91 percent and the THDi value is in the range of 3.50 percent to 4. 21 percent.
Hybrid System of Dual Axis Photovoltaic Tracking System Using ANFIS-ACO
Authors: Ali Machrus , Rukslin Rukslin
Published: November 2022

In this paper, the efficiency of the photovoltaic panels is improved by adding two solar tracking systems. The solar tracking system is used to track the sun so that the photovoltaic always faces the sun. This system uses a dual axis consisting of a horizontal rotation axis and a vertical rotation axis. The motion of the horizontal axis of rotation follows the sun's azimuth angle from north to south. Then to follow the sun's azimuth angle from east to west is the vertical axis motion. Both types of movements are controlled using PID and Fuzzy controllers, which are optimized with an artificial intelligence approach, namely Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Experiments with PID control, Fuzzy control, and ANFIS control approaches optimized by the ACO method (ANFIS-ACO Hybrid method). The experimental results show that ANFIS-ACO has the best performance in terms of settling time and overshoot.

Authors: Pradana Wrenda Wira
Published: November 2022

Steam power plant PT Sinergy Power Source is one of the private steam power plants that have a capacity of 30 MW and supplies 3 main expenses namely PT Mekabox, PT Sopanusa, and PT Sunpaper. Currently, the total load that must be fulfilled by steam power plant PT SPS for the three factories is 25.33 MW and will continue to grow because of the increase in the production number of each plant. With the increasing amount of production, the amount of load will increase so that additional generator capacity is required. This research aims to determine the analysis of power flow planning and coordination setting system protection against the addition of 30 MW generator capacity. Analyze the power flow using ETAP software with the Adaptive Newton-Rapson method. The results of the study showed after the 30 MW generator was added, the work percentage of generators 1 and 2 was lighter and the value of the power flow is relatively the same if the load value is unchanged. For coordination of protection systems itself has been running correctly to handle disruption.
Optimization of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Output Power in Wind Power Plants Using the Gray Wolf Optimization Method
Authors: Aurelia Regina Aldama
Published: November 2022

Wind is a renewable energy that is expected to meet the availability of energy sources as needed. The electrical power produced by the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator at Wind Power Plants in Indonesia is influenced by low wind conditions with wind speeds only ranging from 2.5 to 6 m/s. So that the output voltage can produce optimal power with a low and fluctuating average wind speed, an optimization will be carried out using the Gray Wolf Optimization method which is inspired by the social strata of wolves in hunting their prey. This method works by measuring the voltage and current at the load to get optimal power and maximize the existing power extraction using Maximum Power Point Tracking.
Discursos sobre avaliação educacional na rede municipal de ensino de São Paulo
Authors: Sousa Mauricio de , Lemes de Sordi Mara Regina
Published: November 2022

A avaliação educacional tornou-se uma das categorias centrais na elaboração das políticas educacionais. Este artigo faz uma análise dos discursos que influenciaram a trajetória da avaliação educacional da rede municipal de ensino de São Paulo, no período de 1990 a 2016. Fundamentadas nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos desenvolvidos por Stephen Ball, são examinadas entrevistas com 12 dos principais operadores das políticas educacionais dessa rede de ensino. Conclui-se que, mesmo com resistência e negação em alguns momentos, essa rede de ensino passou a adotar um discurso de viés neoliberal, reduzindo a concepção de educação e avaliação somente à necessidade de melhoria nos resultados dos exames externos.

ANTHROPONYMY: PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL DIMENSION (A CASE STUDY OF THE CLASSICAL AND MODERN UKRAINIAN PROSE)
Authors: Malash O. V.
Published: November 2022

The paper provides an analysis of formal and informal anthroponyms that act in the classical and modern Ukrainian prose. A case study of the names given to the characters of the prose works of I. Nechui-Levytskyi, Panas Myrnyi, M. Kulish, H. Tarasiuk, S. Protsiuk, M. Hrymych, M. Kidruk etc. shows how the names serve as means of linguistic expressiveness, reveals the thought and emotional space of the character, his/her personal, national, and religious identity. The object of the study are anthroponyms (formal, hypocoristics, nicknames, pseudonyms) used in the classical and modern texts. The subject of the research are the functional and stylistic opportunities of anthroponyms in fiction, and the linguophilosophical and linguopsychological dimension of proper names. The descriptive method and the method of contextual analysis are used toward the selected material – anthroponymical vocabulary of the Ukrainian fiction. The aim of this research is a functional, stylistic, and linguophilosophical analysis of the formal and informal anthroponymy in its relation to the issues raised by the authors in their prose. We raise a question how a name and the author’s attitude to the character (the holder of that name), a name and perceiving its holder by other characters, a name and self-awareness correlate. An emotional intimacy is emphasized as a factor that motivates people to use informal name variants. Some revealed variants symbolize the adulthood, infantilization, renunciation of the past or trying to preserve it. We uncover the reasons for naming of one character with many names and two characters – with the same name. It is shown how can they make ideological conflicts about the names, why a formal name is not required for the character, and what kind of role can the name variant play in the courtship ritual.
WORD-FORMING CONTAMINATION AS A MANIFESTING OF LINGUOCREATIVITY ON THE PHENOMENON OF WAR (ON THE MATERIAL OF MEDIA TEXTS)
Authors: Shevchuk L. V.
Published: November 2022

The article considers word-forming contamination as a manifestation of the language game acquiring a pronounced pragmatic orientation to verbalize their emotional and psychological state during the military confrontation. The purpose of the study is to identify structural and semantic features of innovative contaminants in modern media discourse. The object of research is innovative derivatives in modern media texts and the subject-word-forming contaminants in the media and their structural and semantic varieties. The source base for the study served on 235 word-formation innovations recorded in the online media (mostly in telegram channels of Ukrainian and Russian opposition bloggers) from February to June 2022. It was found that the most active is the contamination type of derivatives formed by imposing one creative basis on another. In second place in terms of the number of recorded contaminants is the method of isolating one creative basis into another. It was found that 75% of the recorded graph derivatives contain the Latin letter Z, which in the Ukrainian and Russian opposition media discourse became a symbol of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and acquired a negative evaluation value. Particular attention is paid to innovations that have emerged as a result of the language game with precedent phrases from media texts of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is proposed to nominate such occasionalism, which was formed in a lexical-syntactic way and acquired the status of hashtags, and hashtag-contaminants. It is proved that the names of the aggressor country, government officials, the military, and all supporters of imperial-militaristic policy acquire a low tone. The negative evaluation of a person or phenomenon occurs with the help of reduced-invective vocabulary, which creates an ironic color to the work. The synthetic functionality of contaminants, which perform nominative, evaluative and expressive functions at the same time, is substantiated. This fact confirms the general tendency towards the conscious desire of speakers to save word-forming means. The study provides grounds for determining the following results: modern media texts demonstrate the extraordinary activity of innovative contaminants as information weapons during the Russian-Ukrainian war; the variety of structural and semantic models of the analyzed derivatives testifies to the high creative potential of speakers and the productivity of non-casual ways of word-formation. We see the prospects of the study in the in-depth development of the structural-semantic classification of contaminants in modern media discourse.
FROM REALISM TO MODERNISM: THE BOUNDARI IN THE PROSE OF LESYA UKRAINKA
Authors: Podlisetska O. О.
Published: November 2022

The article focuses on the process of changing stylistic trends in Lesya Ukrainka’s prose. The purpose of the article was to trace the regular changes in the style, subject matter, form and content of Lesya Ukrainka’s prose and highlight the main trends of the transition from realism to modernism. The internal modifications of the genre, which indicate certain changes in the writer’s technique, in her worldview, have been studied. A departure from the instructions of Olena Pchilka, who still remained on the positions of realism in her own work, was traced. Attention is drawn to Lesya Ukrainka’s early stories and their emphasized “fabulousness” (figurative side). The dynamics of worldview are observed in late stories, where the emphasis is shifted to nuanced images and characters of the works. The subject of research is the prose of Lesya Ukrainka (stories, images). The object of the research is the study of the stylistic direction of the stories (title, genre modification, changes in the structure of the works from early stories to later ones) and thematic innovation (theme of abuse, the theme of teenage friendship, the theme of loneliness in a crowd). In addition, the aspects of modernist techniques (images of feelings, moods of characters due to fragmented phrases, incompleteness, lack of resolution, the use of psychological analysis, philosophical fragments, intellectual vocabulary) were also investigated. Structural-typological, phenomenological methods of research were used. The article analyzed the internal orientation of early prose of the beginning of the 20th century. Signs of neo-romanticism and impressionism on the basis of realism and early modernism are revealed in the researched stories. It is concluded that the prose is manifested in the neo-romantic impulse ins blau (up, up, high), the theme of the stories depends on the aesthetic immersion of the artist in the function of consciousness and The topic of the article is quite promising: it is time to research the feminist discourse in the stories of Lesya Ukrainka, the nation-building aspect and existential issues of her prose.
WINTER CALENDER RITUAL AND ITS VERBALISATION IN PHRASIOLOGICAL POLISH LANGUAGE FUND
Authors: Voytseva O. A. , Tozhyieva V. V.
Published: November 2022

In this article we consider a fragment of the phenomenon of the spiritual culture of Slavic people – winter cycle of the calendar ritual of Polish people and its reflection in semantics of ritual phraseology, the archaic basis of which represent mythological notions, prohibitions and beliefs of ancient Slavs. The aim of the work is to objective the symbolic meaning of ritual and festive calendar ceremonies in phraseology of the Polish language, that reflects the pagan and Christians faith of our ancestors. It is established, that despite of significant degree of evolutionary transformations, the rituals are preserved in polish culture genetically related mythological semantic and elements of archaic structures (in particular, the cycle of winter traditions combines a memorial character and transition to forming a new reality), and from the point of view of language expression they are presented by phraseological units, splices, word combinations and paremias. The research proves, that Polish national calendar is tightly connected with the Catholic one, which results in usage Christian lexis in phraseological units (trąbienie na adwent; rózga Mikołaja; obchodzić wigilię; boże drzewko; dzielić się (łamać) opłatkiem; stajenka betlejemska; Kto się zaleca w adwencie, bedzie miał żonę na święta. W wigilię Jędrzeja świętego ujrzymy oblubieńca swojego. Święty Mikołaj wilkom pyski na kłódki zamyka.). The semantics of ritual phraseology of the Polish language confirms the common archaic base in its different ways of expression, the differences we see in names of symbolic actions and ritual objects. We see the perspectives of the research in further studying of calendar rituals in phraseology of Slavic languages.
INEDIBLE COMPONENT IN UKRAINIAN GUSTATORY PHRASEOLOGY: ETHNOCULTURAL DIMENSION
Authors: Kolegaeva I. M.
Published: November 2022

The study confirmed our hypothesis that the perception and verbalization of reality is performed through a certain cognitive lens. In our case, such a lens was the vision of different situations of human existence in Ukrainian society through the gustatory images of feeding and eating. The hypothesis originates from Maslow’s pyramid theory, according to which all human needs are hierarchically arranged from the phylogenetically oldest (need for food, drink, sleep) to later (social and then spiritual) needs. The need to satisfy hunger is basic in this hierarchy, and therefore serves as a certain background on which the figurative world picture of a particular ethnos is “embroidered”. The article considers a separate fragment of the Ukrainian phraseological world picture: namely, pejoratively (negatively) evaluated phrasal units (idioms) of gustatory semantics with the basic component FOOD, which is denoted by a noun that nominates a certain inedible substance. The subject of the studied idioms varies from social, behavioral relations, to psychological characteristics and appearance of people. According to the logical proposition, verbalized by the corresponding phrases, they are divided into two groups. The first group includes the phrasal units that are based on the proposal pattern AGENT FEEDS PATIENT WITH FOOD, the second one includes the phrasal units that verbalize the proposal pattern AGENT CONSUMES FOOD. The second group comprises twice as many phrases as the first one. The linguo-cultural perspective of the performed research clarified the specifically Ukrainian ethnicity of the described material. We consider cross-cultural study of the stated issues to be a promising direction for further investigations.

Authors: Stepanov Ye. M.
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to search, identify, analyze and determine the main characteristics of promising innovative online technologies for teaching foreign languages. The object of study are textbooks, study guides and educational complexes intended for remote online learning of various foreign languages with different contingents of students. The subject of the research is both positive and negative experience of domestic and foreign methodologists regarding the optimization of techniques and methods of foreign languages distance online learning. In the process of studying this problem, such methods of collecting and analyzing empirical information were used: a natural experiment, modeling, a method of qualitative characterization of the educational material, psychological-pedagogical and structural methods, as well as a method of functional-pragmatic analysis and a descriptive method. In the course of the conducted research, the following conclusions were made. The general “online technology and digitization” of the educational process is, firstly, an adaptive reaction of modern society, in which human life and health have become a priority, to emerging security threats; secondly, it is the result of finding ways to reduce material and time costs related to the acquisition of knowledge through the use of the latest technical developments in the field of informatization and communication. A significant role in technological updating is assigned to the adaptation of universal innovations to the methodical traditions of each country, where the spheres of online language education have expanded dramatically. The importance of improving the qualifications of teachers and students, training them in effective ways of working with the latest online educational technologies is growing. These scientific and methodological directions of work are promising in the theoretical and practical plane.
METAPHORICAL MODELLING IN ENGLISH ACADEMIC TECHNICAL SHIPBUILDING DISCOURSES
Authors: Filippova N. M.
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the quite relevant topic of interdependence between language and cognitive structures, which is especially important for a regulated scientific and technical functional style. The analysis of the received material showed that metaphors related to the design, construction and operation of ships/ vessels can be divided into the following general, basic categories: TECHNOLOGY - SPACE, TECHNOLOGY - MOVEMENT, TECHNOLOGY - OBJECT, TECHNOLOGY - MIND, TECHNOLOGY - EMOTION, TECHNOLOGY - VISION, TECHNOLOGY - CHARACTERISTIC/PROPERTY. The universality of the cognitive metaphor SPACE lies in the fact that science is generally implemented in the form of a spatial metaphor and is understood as some environment or space for exploration, definition, discovery, some world that unfolds around the object or in which the object is located: a field, a segment , layer, place. The metaphorical model TECHNOLOGY - MOVEMENT is logically connected with the environment (space) of scientific knowledge, where such movement can occur. The metaphorical model TECHNOLOGY - OBJECT presents what turns out to be the goal or task of research. The metaphorical model TECHNOLOGY - MIND is a kind of evidence of the interaction of thinking and language as a means of reflecting reality, one of the examples can be cases of expressing the physical perception of reality through language. The metaphorical model TECHNOLOGY - EMOTION is often used to isolate economic or technical problems (disasters or economic crises). The metaphorical model TECHNOLOGY - VISION actualizes the fact that the world is perceived by human senses (visual, auditory, tactile). The metaphorical model TECHNOLOGY - CHARACTERISTIC/PROPERTY is expressed by terminological anthropometric adjectives or noun phrases. So, in the metaphors of English-language scientific texts on the subject of shipbuilding, we singled out the most frequent metaphorical models, which makes it possible to more clearly understand the characteristic features of this concept and its meaning for scientific and technical discourses, that is, from a cognitive point of view, to see a metaphor as a mental operation that allows you to understand some part of reality: first it is formed on the basis of experience, and then in the form of a conceptual model it is activated by a certain lexeme (the focus of the metaphor) and is fixed as a mandatory and stereotypical element of the scientific and technical functional style.
DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF EDUCATIONAL NETWORK DISCOURSE: DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPTS OF “EDUCATIONAL DISCOURSE”, “SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE” AND “EDUCATION NETWORK DISCOURSE”
Authors: Truba H. M.
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to distinguishing a new discourse - the educational network, which is a completely new unit that has not been studied before, from traditional scientific and pedagogical discourses and its characteristics according to the classical established scheme of structuring discourses. In the modern world of digitization and automation of various processes, science and education do not stand aside, and the teacher is at the forefront of changes - scientific and pedagogical discourses undergo not only formal, but also qualitative changes, which are caused by the search for new educational paradigms and concepts, principles and approaches to the organization of educational process, as well as methods, forms and means of teaching students, the introduction of technological innovations that will contribute to the improvement of the quality of foreign language philological education. All this could not fail to fundamentally change the structures of these discourses and lead to the formation of new ones. The purpose of the study is to separate the educational network discourse into a separate structural unit. The task: to analyze the online “life” of Ukrainian educators and, based on this research, to describe the structure of educational network discourse.The object of the study is the educational network discourse, and the subject of the study is the definition of the main differential features inherent in any discourse. The actual material is a collection of materials on social networks “Intagram”, “Facebook”, “YouTube”, “TikTok”. In total, more than 500 pages of both well-known and notable figures in the Ukrainian educational space (the official pages of I. D. Farion and O. M. Avramenko) and little-known ones have been processed. Among the general scientific methods, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, observation were used, in particular not included (observation of official pages); descriptive. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is the first attempt to study the educational network discourse, which is widely represented in today’s society. Therefore, the educational network discourse is not purely institutional, but is an argumentative, informational, socially ritual institutional-household mediated type of discourse.
СOVID-19 INFLUENCE ON THE BALTIC-BLACK SEA REGION: CASES OF EU’S MEMBERS AND UKRAINE
Authors: Brusylovska O. I. , Gladysh M. L. , Krayevska O. A.
Published: November 2022

The aim of the article is to reveal the difference in approaches and possibilities of the countries of the Baltic-Black Sea Region (samples of several EU members and Ukraine) towards the struggle with pandemic. Research based on both postcolonial studies and biopolitics and it is empirical. The methods include case studies, Internet-based research, archival research, interviews, comparative, statistical, graphical methods, and discourse analysis. The following aspects are researched: approaches of the countries to counteract the pandemic, their cooperation with international organisations, and cooperation with ‘donor’-countries, influence of COVID-19 on socio-economic and security spheres of BBSR countries. The authors give prognosis how selected countries of BBSR will overcome the pandemic and develop in the post-pandemic period. The fight against the pandemic continues, and its economic consequences will be felt during next years as well. The situation in Ukraine looks worse in the terms of economic recovery because Ukraine is hit by Russian aggression since 2014. The effectiveness of the individual response to the pandemic depends on the level of trust in society and the commitment of political leaders to learn, collaborate, consult and take principled decisions in times of uncertainty. This commitment to the common good determines the degree of public trust in leaders and institutions, which, in turn, affects citizens’ willingness to comply with the restrictions to their daily lives imposed by the lockdown measures. This explains the difference in the impact of the pandemic within the EU. Bulgaria differs in these parameters from the Baltic countries and closer to Ukraine.
THREE PARADOXES OF THE THEORY OF DEMOCRACY
Authors: Ogarenko E. S.
Published: November 2022

The article analyzes three paradoxes of the theory of democracy, which testify to the crisis of this theory. The reasons for the aggravated paradoxical vision of democracy can be considered both contradictions in the very theory of democracy and contradictions in the political practice of democratic states. In accordance with the proposed author's approach to the analysis of the paradoxes of the theory of democracy, attention should be focused on the key problem for the social form of existence, the problem of the relationship between freedom, equality, and justice. The social exists as the intersection of the natural (necessary) and the conscious (free). Interests as motivators of behavior were placed in this "pause". The "superstructure" in the form of collective consciousness produces values ​​as regulators of behavior. And the balance of interests and values ​​becomes the main social problem, solved on the basis of the ratio of freedom and equality, which is assessed as fair or unfair. The latter is transferred to the specific embodiment of a just or unjust order in the person of the state.

The socialist value of the state priority of "workers' equality" was devalued in the early 90s of the 20th century due to the obvious dissonance between the theory and practice of equality and the collapse of the state order that represented this value - the USSR. Therefore, in the modern world, democratic systems balance on a fluid balance of freedom and order in the form of neo-liberal or neo-conservative state policies. But the desovereignization of the state postulated in D. Rodrik's paradox, confirmed by other researchers, casts doubt on the effectiveness of this policy in the modern world.

In order to comprehend the paradoxes of the theory of democracy, the author submits the following statements for consideration: 1. Democracy and the state are coexisting forms of social organization that can temporarily intersect and thus create the illusion of their consistent combination. The basis of this illusion was laid by the European interpretation of the direct democracy of antiquity. 2. Under the conditions of representative democracy, the illusion of a consistent combination of democracy and the state is stimulated through the propaganda mechanism of state self-identification of the population, based on a person's tendency to self-deceive and on the ideologies encouraged by the state that are relevant in a particular social system: nationalism, patriotism, socialism, liberalism, the rule of law. 3. It is necessary to recognize the existence in the conditions of a representative democracy of a “political class” that has a special economic and psychological motivation for behavior and therefore is interested in preserving and maintaining a special type of status (as a democratic variety of class) inequality, including through the propaganda of the ideological dogma of democracy.
PR AND PROPAGANDA IN THE POST-SOVIET SPACE: PROBLEMS OF INFORMATION POLICY DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Caprice R. O.
Published: November 2022

The article discusses the main approaches to establishing the difference between the concepts of public relations and propaganda. A reconstruction of the development of the sphere of public relations in Western political culture has been made. The features of the development of the sphere of public relations in the countries of the post-Soviet space are determined. It has been established that the concept of public relations, until recently little known and unusual for the former Soviet political culture and mentality, has literally burst into our lives in recent years. This concept has become fashionable, has become a real hallmark of new times. The entire civilized world has not only become accustomed to it, but has also turned public relations into an effectively working science and art of achieving mutual understanding and agreement between various subjects of civil society life. But because of its “fashionableness”, the concept of “public relations” is often used in place and out of place, often putting a perverted meaning into it. Sometimes a superficial approach to this area of ​​activity is contrary to the principles of social responsibility of civil society institutions, in fact pushing to treat the public as an object of deception, manipulation solely in the selfish interests of subjects whose favorable (or unfavorable) image is created at any cost. The institutionalization of a civilized professional system of public relations in the post-Soviet space is making its way through many objective and subjective obstacles. The content of obstructing factors of an objective and subjective nature is always concretely historical. A weighty historical factor in this process is the legacy of the influence of the propaganda machine of the past.

Small-scale poultry keeping is a common practice particularly among low-income households in sub-Saharan African countries. Due to the limited resources of these households, the flock is raised on a free-range basis, where the birds are left to fend for themselves, mostly affecting their performance. Well-structured poultry farming among these low-income households has the potential to improve not only the financial standing, but also the nutrition and health of the households. The purpose of this survey was to understand existing household food practices and aspirations for expanded poultry business among mothers of young children involved in smallholder guinea fowl farming in Burkina Faso. This was a cross-sectional study of a convenience sample of women engaged in small-scale poultry. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Questionnaire for data collection was administered in a face-to-face interview format by trained research assistants. All interviews were conducted in MORE, the predominant language spoken in the study area. Descriptive analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and reported as frequencies and percentages for categorical variables, and means for continuous variables. One hundred and fifty women with children under 5 years of which 98.7% were the biological mothers participated in the study. About 68% of participants were 28 years or older, 45% have no formal education and 30% had 6 or more children in the household. Although over 58% of participants reported household income from agriculture, only 8.7% was livestock related. About half of the participants reported they would market/sell products from expansion of guinea fowl farming to raise additional income to support the household, while another half would use some of the meat and eggs to improve the nutrition of the household. Findings from this study suggest mothers from low-income rural households are interested in income-generating avenues, particularly, expansion in their smallholder guinea fowl farming to improve the socio-economic standing and nutritional health of their household.

In Ethiopia, post-harvest losses caused by insects are a major challenge in crop production systems. Dried maize is particularly susceptible to insects during storage. Storage loss affects the livelihoods of small-scale farmers leading to food insecurity and loss of income. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the cost-benefit analysis of Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bags on maize storage in Northwest Ethiopia. Cross-sectional data was collected from 392 randomly selected households from both users and non-users of PICS bags, using stratified sampling technique. A structured questionnaire, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, individual in-depth interviews, and field observations were used to gather the data. A cost-benefit analysis was computed to evaluate the viability of PICS bags for maize storage. The binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors that affect the use of PICS bags. Descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (t-test and chi-square test) were employed to analyze the data. The benefit-to-cost ratios (BCRs) of insecticide with both ordinary and PICS bags were greater than one, but PICS bags resulted in more than two-fold higher values as compared to insecticide with ordinary bags. The net present value (NPV) at 15% discount rate in 2018 was 20.73 USD and 25.35 USD per 100 kilograms of stored maize when insecticide was applied to ordinary and PICS bags, respectively. Sensitivity analysis with a 10% cost increment and up to 50% price discount showed that both technologies would still be viable for maize storage. However, PICS bags had higher NPV and BCR; making the technology more viable than insecticide with ordinary bags. The results of binary logit model indicated that educational level, gender, awareness, training, accessibility of the technology, perception of the technology, involvement in leadership activities in the community, and total income of the household positively influenced farmers’ decisions to use PICS bags, whereas price negatively affected the use of the PICS bags. PICS bags had clear economic advantage over insecticide with ordinary bags for maize storage in Northwest Ethiopia. Efforts should be made to disseminate and improve access to PICS bags for strengthening food security and increasing incomes of maize farmers in Northwest Ethiopia.

La pobreza como vector de inseguridad global e interna: una aproximación regulatoria
Authors: Bonet Jordi
Published: November 2022

This study intends to carry out a reflection, from an essentially international political-legal approach, on poverty as a vector capable of generating threats to security, both from a global and internal perspective of the States. Without disdaining an approach of this nature (especially if it is an approach from the perspective of human security), we understand that the securitization of the fight against poverty is not very useful to address the problems it generates and to promote development. We advocate directing the political-legal centrality of the fight against poverty from its understanding as a matter of global public interest, to which the programmatic approach of the SDGs and international human rights law offer a solid regulatory base (without prejudice of the real difficulties of carrying out this program and executing international legal norms on human rights). Likewise, we have not wanted to leave aside the collateral, but relevant in itself, importance of inequality.

Objetivo: refletir sobre Florence Nightingale e sua Teoria Ambientalista como marcos da enfermagem como profissão e suas relações com a pandemia da COVID-19. Método: texto reflexivo, elaborado à luz da Sociologia das Profissões de Eliot Freidson. Resultados: foram delineadas três categorias reflexivas, sendo elas “Florence Nightingale: aspectos biográficos”; “Os alicerces para construção de conhecimento próprio e a credibilização da enfermagem como profissão”; “Teoria Ambientalista (1859) e pandemia COVID-19: continuidades”. Conclusão: a reflexão, acerca das contribuições de Florence Nightingale e de sua Teoria Ambientalista como marcos da enfermagem como profissão, torna-se uma necessidade, uma vez que, diante ao contexto pandêmico, o seu legado e a sua Teoria têm potência para ressignificar o cuidado da enfermagem.
