ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the Social Representations of pregnant women about high-risk pregnancy and its repercussions for prenatal care. Method: Qualitative study, based on the procedural aspect of the Theory of Social Representations, carried out with 62 high-risk prenatal pregnant women at a High Complexity Maternity, in Belém, PA, Brazil. Data from semi-structured interviews were processed by the software Interface de R pour les Analyzes Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires. Results: Four categories emerged, in which three dimensions of the Theory composing the genesis of Social Representations are considered: the affective dimension, the biological dimension and the sociocultural dimension. Conclusion: Affects, negative feelings, and adaptations were revealed, with high-risk pregnancy being represented as an unusual and uncomfortable event, influenced by common sense and science, communication means, and dialogues with health professionals, with family support being considered of paramount importance. and prenatal care a propitious moment for establishing bonds with the health professional, seen as essential for their adherence to the care offered.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to assess the recognition of salty, sweet, and citrus tastes in complete denture wearers. Methods: the study included toothless individuals (experimental group) who had been using, for at least 3 months and at the most 5 years, acrylic resin removable bimaxillary complete dentures in good condition and with adequate maxillo-mandibular relationship. The same assessment was performed in the control group, which had 26 toothed individuals. Volunteers had no difficulties ingesting any type of food. Salty, sweet, and citrus tastes were assessed with filter paper strips soaked in such solutions and placed on the tongue dorsum. Assessments were performed in duplicate and in random order. Results: the percentage rate of errors was similar between the control (9.6±13.5%) and experimental groups (10.5±15.5%) (p=0.80). There was no difference in the frequency of correct perception of tastes between denture wearers and toothed individuals. Conclusion: individuals who wore acrylic resin removable bimaxillary complete dentures perceived salty, sweet, and citrus tastes like toothed individuals did.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the implications of working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic for Nursing professionals. Method: Qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study conducted in four hospitals in southern Brazil. A total of 349 records made by nurses and nursing technicians/assistants through an electronic form were selected and submitted to content analysis. Ethical aspects were respected, and the participants consented to the Free and Informed Consent Form. Results: The increase in work demands and exhaustion were evidenced; the lack of hospital institutional support in assisting infected workers and in view of the need for further testing; and the impacts of the devaluation of Nursing, expressed by feelings of vulnerability and lack of recognition. Final considerations: The pandemic increased the wear and tear of Nursing with a projection of the lack of structure for crises situations. It is suggested to invest in the emotional and managerial resources of health care teams to better cope with similar health crises in the future.
As “Notas” de William Barnard e a Arqueologia marajoara
Authors: Araújo Lucas Monteiro , Pacheco Agenor Sarraf
Published: October 2023

Resumo O arquipélago de Marajó, localizado na foz do rio Amazonas, se tornou um dos mais destacáveis campos para o estudo da Arqueologia na região amazônica. Foi no século XIX que as primeiras investigações científicas e os primeiros estudos publicados sobre os tesos marajoaras emergiram. Daquele momento em diante, o Marajó passou a ser palco de inúmeras expedições dirigidas por cientistas brasileiros e estrangeiros interessados nos vestígios cerâmicos, testemunhos da ‘pré-história’ brasileira. Nomes como os de Domingos Soares Ferreira Penna, Ladislau Netto, Charles Hartt, Helen Palmatary, Betty Meggers e Clifford Evans aparecem com frequência nos trabalhos que buscam remontar a história das pesquisas arqueológicas na região. Outros pesquisadores, todavia, ainda que tenham produzido trabalhos de importância fundamental para o campo, ainda permanecem relativamente desconhecidos e pouco estudados. Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar um desses nomes: William Stebbins Barnard, um dos primeiros expedicionários estrangeiros a visitar um teso marajoara, bem como disponibilizar a transcrição e tradução de parte de suas “Notas” de campo, documento inédito preservado hoje na Carl A. Kroch Library, da Universidade de Cornell, nos Estados Unidos, e que é considerado um dos primeiros estudos arqueológicos prospectivos da região marajoara em nível internacional.

Authors: Freitas Raquel Coelho de , Nóbrega Luciana Nogueira
Published: October 2023

Resumo Este trabalho traz a proposta da indignação epistêmica como caminho crítico e decolonizador para refletir sobre a construção do conceito de minorias no Direito moderno. A partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e de análise da construção histórico-social do conceito de minorias, buscamos demonstrar sua ambigüidade latente: ao mesmo tempo em que reconhece direitos, oculta relações de poder que criam, reforçam e atualizam injustiças sociais, econômicas e epistêmicas.
Epistemic indignation and decolonization of the concept of minorities
Authors: Freitas Raquel Coelho de , Nóbrega Luciana Nogueira
Published: October 2023

Abstract This paper proposes the epistemic indignation as a logical and decolonizing way to reflect on the concept of minorities in contemporary Law. Using bibliographic research and analyzing the social history of the concept of minorities, we seek to demonstrate its ambiguity: while recognizing rights, it hides power relations which create, reinforce and update social, economic and epistemic injustices.
Populismo, autoritarismo e resistência democrática: as cortes constitucionais no jogo do poder
Authors: Barroso Luís Roberto
Published: October 2023

Resumo O constitucionalismo democrático foi a ideologia vitoriosa do século XX, tendo derrotado as alternativas que se apresentaram ao longo das décadas: o comunismo, o fascismo, o nazismo, os regimes militares e os fundamentalismos religiosos. Nessas primeiras décadas do século XXI, no entanto, alguma coisa parece não estar indo bem, num quadro que vem sendo descrito como de recessão democrática. O artigo identifica três fenômenos que estão por trás desse processo histórico: o populismo, o extremismo e o autoritarismo, assim como suas causas políticas, econômico-sociais e culturais-identitárias. Após uma análise do contexto mundial, o texto coloca o foco na experiência brasileira dos últimos anos, narrando as ameaças à legalidade constitucional e a reação das instituições. Na parte final discutem-se os limites e possibilidades das cortes constitucionais no seu papel de defesa do constitucionalismo e da democracia.

HOME-OFFICE E DESIGUALDADES DE GÊNERO ENTRE DOCENTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS NA PANDEMIA DE COVID-19,
Authors: Vicente Teresa Aracena , Rotenberg Lucia
Published: October 2023

RESUMO No trabalho em home office decorrente da pandemia de COVID-19, demandas das esferas profissional e doméstica coincidem no espaço, podendo competir pelo tempo do(a) trabalhador(a). Nesta condição, as tarefas domésticas e de cuidado se ampliam por conta das novas demandas geradas, já que todos estão em casa também dando conta de suas atividades profissionais. Tendo como aporte teórico a divisão sexual do trabalho, este estudo analisa a vivência do trabalho em home office de docentes universitários durante a pandemia de COVID-19. O material empírico se baseia em entrevistas semiestruturadas no formato virtual com docentes (quatro homens e seis mulheres) de uma universidade federal no Rio de Janeiro, RJ, em união heterossexual, que têm pelo menos um(a) filho(a) de até 10 anos. Há unanimidade entre os docentes quanto ao maior peso do trabalho doméstico e de cuidado sobre as professoras, que frequentemente se ocupam sozinhas da casa. A presença das crianças aumenta o tempo de cuidado, incluindo o acompanhamento de atividades escolares. A quebra do modelo de delegação (à empregada doméstica ou babá) evidencia os conflitos não resolvidos dentro da família. As assimetrias observadas expressam o sistema de gênero socialmente produzido, que desfavorece as mulheres, tanto no âmbito da saúde, como da produção científica durante a pandemia, ampliando desigualdades e iniquidades que precedem a pandemia.

Authors: Araujo Luísa Maiola de , Santos Adriana Kelly
Published: October 2023

Este artigo visa demonstrar a potencialidade metodológica do emprego do gênero textual carta pessoal para a elaboração do portfólio crítico-reflexivo no ensino em Saúde e, consequentemente, para a formação ética e implicada na Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde do Trabalhador durante a pandemia de Covid-19. A escrita das cartas que compuseram o portfólio “Cartas em tempos de pandemia” ocorreu entre março/2020 e março/2021. As cartas, endereçadas a diversos interlocutores, permitiam refletir, de modo criativo, sobre o caminho pedagógico e percorrer processualmente as linhas de aprendizagem propostas pela Unesco: “aprender a ser, conhecer, fazer e conviver”. Por esses passos metodológicos foi possível articular memórias, histórias, afetos, conceitos e práticas envolvidos no fazer em saúde, tecendo novos conhecimentos e possibilidades técnicas no trabalho da Psicologia no âmbito da Saúde do Trabalhador.
A roda de conversas à luz da práxis freireana e seus impactos na percepção da diminuição do bullying escolar
Authors: Pigozi Pamela Lamarca , Wendt Guilherme Welter , Mendes Rosilda , Akerman Marco
Published: October 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar e avaliar a roda de conversas como instrumento participativo e educativo capaz de impactar na percepção de diminuição do bullying entre adolescentes no contexto escolar. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, realizado por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 18 adolescentes de uma escola do ensino fundamental do Estado de São Paulo. Os resultados foram analisados à luz da práxis freireana e demonstraram que esse instrumento contribuiu para ampliar o entendimento sobre esse tipo de comportamento agressivo, favoreceu a quebra do silenciamento das agressões até então não verbalizadas, e impactou a percepção de diminuição do bullying. Ressalta-se que não se trata de conceber a roda como instrumento resolutivo e estanque em si, mas como participativo, complementar, apoiador e potencialmente capaz de contribuir para desnaturalizar a violência no cenário escolar e promover a emancipação dos envolvidos.

Abstract Global university rankings are important indicators that measure the ability of universities to positively impact society. This study aimed to analyze the determining factors in the academic performance and sustainability of universities across participating continents in THE Ranking. Regarding the methodology, it is classified as a descriptive, quantitative study that considered the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the sustainability level of the countries where the universities are in the analysis of academic performance. This performance was measured through the World University Rankings by Times Higher Education (THE). The main findings are as follows: a strong relationship was found between country-level characteristics such as GDP, HDI, and the scores in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, suggesting that the characteristics of the country influence the performance and sustainability level of each university. Similarly, research and teaching groups have the most impact on the overall score of the top university.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the presence of 2NVS translocation on the inheritance of wheat resistance to head blast, in F2 segregating lines from two biparental crosses. The IPF 86766 and 'Santa Fe' genotypes were used as female parents (both 2NVS carriers), and 'BRS 404', as the common male parent (non 2NVS carrier). Using a mixture of three isolates of Pyricularia oryzae Triticum, wheat spikes and rachises were evaluated for bleaching severity at five (%BS_5dpi) and seven days post-inoculation (%BS_7dpi), as well as for the number of infection points (IPR) and pathogen sporulation (SPO). Chi-square analyses showed that segregation follows a 3:1 Mendelian hypothesis, with a major locus with a dominant allele: %BS_7dpi for IPF 86766 × 'BRS 404' and IPR for 'Santa Fe' x 'BRS 404'. Therefore, this is the first known study to show that the 2NVS translocation responsible for resistance to head blast is a major locus with a dominant allele. In a controlled environment, 'BRS 404' shows bleaching severity and SPO similar with those occurring on IPF 86766 and 'Santa Fe'.

Abstract Ticks parasitizing 102 wild animals in the states of Mato Grosso and Goiás, Brazil were collected between 2015 and 2018. A total of 2338 ticks (865 males, 541 females, 823 nymphs, and 109 larvae) belonging to four genera (Amblyomma, Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis, and Rhipicephalus) and at least 21 species were identified. DNA extraction and a molecular survey for rickettsial agents were performed on 650 ticks. The results revealed parasitism by the following species: Rickettsia amblyommatis in Amblyomma cajennense s.s., A. cajennense s.l., Amblyomma coelebs, Amblyomma humerale, Amblyomma longirostre, Amblyomma nodosum, Amblyomma scalpturatum, Amblyomma sculptum, and Amblyomma romitii; Rickettsia parkeri in Amblyomma nodosum, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma scalpturatum, and Amblyomma triste; Rickettsia rhipicephali in Haemaphysalis juxtakochi; Rickettsia sp. in A. cajennense s.s., A. nodosum, and A. sculptum, and lastly, ‘Candidatus Rickettsia andeanae’ in Amblyomma parvum and Rhipicephalus microplus. This study expands the body of knowledge about tick parasitism among wild animals, including new data concerning tick-host associations, and provides information about the epidemiology of tick-borne pathogens in the Center-West region of Brazil.
IGNITION OF NITROMETHANE-BASED PROPELLANT MIXTURES
Authors: Kurilov Maxim , Ziemer L. , Weiser Volker , Ricker S. , Kirchberger Christoph , Schlechtriem Stefan
Published: October 2023

Hydrazine is a commonly used propellant in spacecraft and satellite propulsion, but it is toxic as well as carcinogenic, and consequently the high costs associated with its handling have led the propulsion community to seek alternatives. Our research group is exploring the use of nitromethane, a low-toxicity substance and a staple laboratory solvent, as the primary ingredient for a green monopropellant. However, nitromethane's ignition is challenging, requiring a certain level of pressure for stable combustion. To improve ignition and combustion behavior, we screened additives including transition metal acetylacetonates and other organometallic compounds. Gas-tight vessels in a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) device and single-droplet combustion tests were used to measure the influence of additives on the exotherm onset and peak in nitromethane thermal decomposition. The screening showed that some transition-metal acetylacetonates and other organometallic compounds effectively enhance thermal decomposition in sealed-vessel DSC measurements. Ferrocene had the most significant influence: addition of 2 wt. % of this substance to nitromethane caused a decomposition peak shift from 384°C to 280°C. In single-droplet combustion tests in an oxygen-deprived atmosphere at 3 bar, the addition of ferrocene caused a 40% reduction of the droplet ignition delay time, combined with a 20% higher combustion rate compared to neat nitromethane. This makes ferrocene a strong candidate for the use as an ignition and combustion catalyst in nitromethane-based propellants.
Structural damage identification of high-order shear beams based on a genetic algorithm
Authors: Yao Peng , Lu Mengyang
Published: October 2023

The beam structure is the main load-bearing structure of engineering projects. High-order shear beams are widely used in engineering. Therefore, damage identification of beam structures is important to guarantee project quality and life safety. To identify the location and depth of cracks in a beam structure, a genetic algorithm (GA) and a damage identification model are combined. This method optimises the back-propagation neural network by using the ability of the GA to find the global optimal solution. The natural frequency (NF) of the cracked beam is obtained through finite-element analysis, and the NF is taken as the input of the model, and the crack location and depth are taken as the outputs of the model. In the experiment, it is found through regression analysis that the predicted output value of the model has a high coincidence with the real value, and its regression coefficient reaches 0.99842. Through an example analysis, the sum of squares of the prediction error of the model is 5.6. The average relative errors of the beam crack location and crack depth are 0.54 and 4.15%, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed model has a high prediction accuracy and can accurately identify damage to the beam structure.
An improved Prophet emergency traffic-flow prediction model
Authors: Gao Xueyi , Zhou Jianwei , Ci Yusheng , Wu Lina
Published: October 2023

Emergencies are rare and random, but cause dramatic changes in traffic volumes whenever they occur. It is therefore very challenging to predict emergency traffic volumes accurately. The aim of this paper is to provide a practical methodology for predicting traffic volumes during emergencies; this is done using the Prophet model and by improving the event function of the model. The proposed approach isolates the event impacts through time series decomposition techniques; it allows the model to add points in time when traffic flow changes abruptly and to incorporate external factors useful to adapt to the specific background imposed by the emergency. The main data used in the paper were from the daily traffic volume data set published on the Luxembourg Open Data platform. These data were collected over a period from January 2017 to December 2021. The data set covers the period of impact of two emergencies. The proposed method and four comparator models were applied to the second emergency period. The results show that the proposed method can accurately predict unconventional changes caused by emergencies and, by way of a comparative analysis, that it has better prediction accuracy with real data than the other comparator models under the same attribute conditions.

Published: October 2023

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a cytokine implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to determine the association of three IL-6 gene polymorphisms with increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and cardiometabolic risk factors. Three IL-6 polymorphisms (rs1800795, rs2069827, and rs1800796) were analyzed in 178 individuals with increased CIMT (CIMT ≥ 75th percentile) and 906 individuals without increased CIMT (CIMT < 75th percentile). Logistic regression, adjusted for confounding variables, was employed to assess the associations. The rs1800796 polymorphism was significantly associated with an elevated risk of increased CIMT (OR = 1.354, Padditive = 0.016; OR = 1.803, Precessive = 0.014; OR = 1.989, Pcodominant2 = 0.008). One haplotype (GCG) correlated with a higher risk of increased CIMT (OR = 1.288; P = 0.008), while another (GGG) demonstrated a reduced risk (OR = 0.773; P = 0.006). In individuals without increased CIMT, the rs2069827 polymorphism was associated with low risks of central obesity, hypoalphalipoproteinemia, and a low risk of presenting with high levels of total cholesterol (TC), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) /HDL-C index, apolipoprotein B, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. The rs1800796 polymorphism was associated with a low risk of adipose tissue insulin resistance, and the rs1800795 was associated with a minimal risk of central obesity and hypoalphalipoproteinemia. Among those with increased CIMT, the rs2069827 was associated with low risks of central obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic syndrome, and a high triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C index, while rs1800796 was associated with a low risk of fatty liver. Similar IL-6 concentrations were observed in both individuals with and without increased CIMT. In conclusion, the rs1800796 polymorphism is associated with increased CIMT, while the rs2069827 and rs1800795 are linked to cardiovascular risk factors.

Authors: Valencia Agudelo Germán Darío , Ecuyer Brendan
Published: October 2023

En este artículo se analiza el acceso al agua potable y la gestión comunitaria del recurso en las 16 subregiones priorizadas en el posconflicto con las Farc-ep, usando la información de los Programas de Desarrollo con Enfoque Territorial (PDET) con sus 16 Planes de Acción para la Transformación Regional (PATR) y sus 170 Pactos Municipales para la Transformación Regional (PMTR). Se identifica como principales problemas: la falta de infraestructura para el abastecimiento del agua potable, la deforestación, la contaminación de las fuentes de agua y la baja capacidad de gestión institucional del recurso hídrico; y se muestran las demandas por la provisión de agua, las mismas que fueron priorizadas en iniciativas de proyectos de gestión y de inversión los PATR y las propuestas de gestión comunitaria que realiza la población que habita estos territorios. Finalmente, se señalan tres grandes retos a los que se enfrenta este sector en el posconflicto y el desarrollo rural colombiano: el reconocimiento jurídico, los recursos para la gestión comunitaria y el aprovechamiento de los aportes PDET.

Published: October 2023

We use multiple, independently produced surface-rupture maps of the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence to test the reproducibility of surface-rupture map interpretation and completeness. The 4 July Mw 6.4 and 5 July Mw 7.1 earthquakes produced surface-rupture zones approximately 20 and 50 km in length, respectively. Three independent mappers with various backgrounds in active tectonics mapped the surface rupture from the postearthquake lidar data without knowledge from postearthquake field or geodetic observations. Visual comparisons of the three remote rupture maps show good agreement for scarps >50 cm in height. For features with less topographic expression, interpretations of the data vary more widely between mappers. Quantitative map comparisons range from 18% to 54% consistency between mapped lines with 1 m buffers. The percent overlap increases with buffer width, reflecting variance in line placement as well as differences in fault-zone interpretation. Overall, map similarity is higher in areas where the surface rupture was simpler and had more vertical offset than in areas with complex rupture patterns or little vertical offset. Fault-zone interpretation accounts for the most difference between maps, while line placement accounts for differences at the meter scale. In comparison to field observations, our remotely produced maps capture the principal rupture well but miss small features and geometric complexity. In general, lidar excels for the detection and measurement of vertical offsets in the landscape, and it is deficient for detecting lateral offset with little or no vertical motion.
Strategies of coping with anger as a state and a trait among female students
Authors: Bany Yassien B. M. , Melhem M. A. , Albadarneh M. M. T. , Rababah M. A.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. University students often encounter many difficult situations that may provoke their anger and thus make them less capable of controlling themselves and their behaviours. This will possibly hinder their growth and psychological and academic development, leading to more personal conflict and discomfort, emotional and physical abuse, increased crime, feelings of insecurity, a lack of concentration, and less social interaction.

Aim. This study aims to examine coping strategies with anger as a state and trait in light of “Social status” and “Achievement level” variables.

Methodology and research methods. A quantitative method was employed to analyse the data. The sample for the study consisted of 256 female students from Al-Balqa Applied University (BAU), randomly chosen. Two scales were used to collect data: 1) the anger scale as a state and as a trait, including 30 items (15 items measure anger as an emotional state that varies in its intensity, and 15 items measure anger as an emotional trait); 2) the anger coping strategies scale, containing 34 items divided into six domains to identify the different ways of individuals’ positive or negative responses to the irritating situations of anger (direct expressions of anger, emphasis, search for social support, dissipation of anger, avoidance, and tapering).

Results. The results revealed statistically significant differences due to social status and achievement level, whereas there were no statistically significant differences in the coping strategies for anger due to social status. They also showed that seeking social support is the prevailing coping strategy.

Scientific novelty. The study is one of the few in the Arab World that looked at the relationship between anger as a state or trait and coping strategies in a sample of female students based on their social status and level of achievement. It helps enrich the theoretical literature on anger and researchers’ and students’ knowledge by clarifying the relationship of the discussed variables with each other.

Practical significance. The practical significance of the study can be observed in two aspects. First, the research findings can draw the attention of educational officials by highlighting the relationships between anger as a state and anger as a trait, as well as the coping strategies employed by female students. This knowledge can lead to developing programmes to reduce anger among female students. Second, the study can contribute to developing coping methods that positively impact the social and academic adaptation of female students.
Resources to develop the research publication competencies of Russian researchers
Authors: Popova N. G. , Khabirova E. I.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. In the last decades, due to the increased number of international research collaborations, the role of auxiliary institutions which contribute to the development of research publication competencies has increased. Competencies are required for writing, preparing, publishing, and promoting scientific articles. The formation of such competencies is carried out at different levels of higher education as part of the current Federal State Educational Standard (FSES), including prorammes of additional professional education, as well as initiatives of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations.

Aim. This article aims to analyse the resources available for the development of research publication competencies in Russia in terms of the opportunities offered by different participants of the educational process.

Methodology and research methods. The study compared and analysed open access regulatory documentation, reviewed and systematised data from the websites of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations, and used data from in-depth interviews.

Results. The article describes the prerequisites for the formation of research publication competencies in higher education in Russia. An overview of effective practices to develop such competencies is given, taking into account the national context and available higher education programmes. The article provides an overview of the functionality of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations, whose activities support publication activity. The role of academic writing teachers, consultants, translators, editors, and reviewers in the development of the competencies of the authors of scientific publications is determined. The importance of the closer interaction of all participants in the publication process is substantiated: authors, translators, and editors of texts; and teachers of scientific writing courses with editors and reviewers of scientific journals.

Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of this article refers to a detailed description of the resources for the development of research publication competencies and their compliance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, which have not been investigated in such correlation before.

Practical significance. The results can be used to develop a set of measures to systematise approaches to developing research publication competencies.
A Contrastive Ecological Discourse Analysis Based on Theme System—Take Environmental Speeches from the US and UK as an Example
Authors: Hu Jiaqi
Published: October 2023

With the rapid development of economy, the ecological problems are becoming more serious. Ecolinguistics emerged jointly with the “ecological turn” [1] among numerous disciplines. The present research conducts a contrastive Ecological Discourse Analysis under the framework of Thematic Theory of Halliday, aiming to examine the thematic choices made in the environmental speeches from the US and UK and shed light on the implications of their respective ecological ideologies. Findings suggest that, a major part of the US’s theme selections is animated (46.4%), express a philosophy of “America first”, and therefore indicate the notion of “anthropocentrism.” More inanimate theme selections were made in the UK than in America (39.4% vs. 28.4%), showing that the British public are more considerate of their surroundings. Both nations have shown certain responsibility as economic powers in the face of serious environmental problems

К вопросу о роли лидерства в современном обществе
Authors: Минаев С.В.
Published: October 2023

Новые аспекты анализа лидерства обозначились в коммерческих организациях в начале XX века в «классической школе менеджмента». Здесь первоначально концентрировалось внимание на характеристике природы и личности самого лидера. Сегодня анализ роли лидерства в управлении организационной культурой является важным дискуссионным вопросом, на который можно отвечать с разной стороны и рассматривая разные парадигмы. Основное внимание уделено преимущественно правам и обязанностям лидера, терминологическому описанию его роли, функций, значения.
Девиантное поведение: причины и закономерности
Authors: Кулешов В.Е , Завируха Ф.Я.
Published: October 2023

Девиантное поведение (преступления, алкоголизм, наркомания, суицид и т.д.) представляет проблему для субъектов управления и создает отрицательную нравственную атмосферу в индивидуальных отношениях. Основными факторами, его формирующими, являются низкий уровень нравственной культуры социальной среды и соответствующие личностные качества индивида. В современной России негативные аспекты этих факторов усилились в связи с реформами постперестроечного периода. Соответственно для ограничения и предупреждения отклоняющегося поведения необходимы гуманизация общественных отношений и нацеленность системы образования и воспитания на формирование нравственного смысла жизни человека
