Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Background: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition characterized by an abnormal increase in bacterial population in the small intestine, leading to symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, distension, diarrhea, and eventually malabsorption. The diagnosis and management of SIBO remain challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and coeliac disease. Objective: This article aims to review current evidence on the diagnosis and treatment of SIBO, with a focus on strategies suitable for the Brazilian healthcare system. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was performed, focusing on clinical guidelines, randomized controlled trials, and cohort studies concerning SIBO. Diagnostic methods, including breath tests and direct aspiration techniques, were critically analyzed. Treatment approaches, including antibiotics, dietary modifications, and probiotics, were reviewed. The recommendations were formulated based on a panel of gastroenterologists, members of the Brazilian Federation of Gastroenterology (FBG), with approval from the majority of the members. Results: Breath tests using glucose and lactulose remain the most commonly used non-invasive diagnostic tools, though they are subject to limitations such as false positives and false negatives. Treatment with rifaximin is effective in most cases of SIBO, while systemic antibiotics like metronidazole and ciprofloxacin are alternatives. Probiotics and dietary interventions, particularly low FODMAP diets, can complement antibiotic therapy. Long-term follow-up is essential due to the recurrence rate, which is common in SIBO patients. Conclusion: Standardizing SIBO diagnosis and treatment in Brazil is essential to reduce diagnostic delays and optimize care, especially given the disparities and heterogeneity in clinical practice across the country. This article provides evidence-based recommendations to guide clinical practice. Further research is needed to refine diagnostic methods, explore novel treatment strategies, and better understand the specific characteristics of the Brazilian population.
Empirical Game Theoretic Analysis: A Survey
Authors: Wellman Michael P. , Tuyls Karl , Greenwald Amy
Published: February 2025

In the empirical approach to game-theoretic analysis (EGTA), the model of the game comes not from declarative representation, but is derived by interrogation of a procedural description of the game environment. The motivation for developing this approach was to enable game-theoretic reasoning about strategic situations too complex for analytic specification and solution. Since its introduction over twenty years ago, EGTA has been applied to a wide range of multiagent domains, from auctions and markets to recreational games to cyber-security. We survey the extensive methodology developed for EGTA over the years, organized by the elemental subproblems comprising the EGTA process. We describe key EGTA concepts and techniques, and the questions at the frontier of EGTA research. Recent advances in machine learning are accelerating progress in EGTA, and promise to significantly expand our capacities for reasoning about complex game situations.

Diffuse toxic goiter (DTG) is the most common cause of thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy, which is associated with a high risk of obstetric and perinatal complications. Self-induced abortion, preeclampsia and premature birth are more common in pregnant women with poorly compensated DTG, and thyrotoxic crisis is the main cause of maternal mortality. The drug of choice for the treatment of DTG during pregnancy is propylthiouracil, and from the second trimester and during lactation, thiamazole. Radiotherapy is one of the most effective, safe and frequently used methods of treatment for DTG, but only in non-pregnant women. Metabolites of 131I freely penetrate the placenta and there is a risk of destruction of the thyroid gland of the fetus. The use of radiotherapy in women of childbearing age is possible only after assessing the level of chorionic gonadotropin 72 hours before the start of such treatment, and pregnancy planning is possible only after achieving persistent euthyroidism, and not earlier than 6 months after radiotherapy. Deviation from the established recommendations can lead to adverse outcomes, which is suggested in our clinical observation.

Dans un contexte de profondes mutations (achevées et en cours) de l’activité lexicographique et de l’offre dictionnairique, cet article aborde la question des pratiques métalexicographiques, et entend donner un éclairage méthodologique à l’activité centrale qu’est l’analyse des dictionnaires. Un accent spécifique est mis sur les possibilités qu’offrent les dictionnaires numériques, ainsi que les limites et contraintes qu’ils imposent à ces analyses. Après avoir inventorié les pratiques actuelles, en distinguant analyses qualitatives et analyses quantitatives d’une part et analyses manuelles et analyses automatiques d’autre part, et en montrant les difficultés afférentes à chaque type d’analyse, une approche menant de front analyses qualitatives manuelles et analyses quantitatives automatiques est proposée.
La rubrique Dire, Ne pas dire du dictionnaire numérique de l’Académie française. Un changement de paradigme ?
Authors: Salagnac Caroline
Published: February 2025

La possibilité désormais offerte aux lexicographes de bénéficier d’un territoire numérique pour partager leur travail est l'occasion de s'interroger sur la nature du discours tenu sur les usages de la langue, dès lors que l'on s’éloigne de l’étude du dictionnaire. La rubrique Dire, Ne pas dire du dictionnaire numérique de l'Académie française est à ce titre un terrain d’étude privilégié, tant l'Académie française porte le rôle de gardien de la langue. La question qui se pose ici est la suivante : en quoi l'Académie française s’est-elle servie du numérique pour élargir sa mission qui transcende désormais les seules productions langagières et leurs normes et en quoi cette rubrique y participe-t-elle ? Que dit cette rubrique de l'usage et de la manière dont il y est convoqué ? Certes, l'Académie se pose en locutrice experte, gardienne du bon usage, dans un rôle attendu. Mais le discours normatif laisse place et la place à un autre type de discours, plus préventif augurant d'un changement de paradigme, qui ne prend plus seulement en compte la langue et ses usages mais également l'usager.
Les préjugés sexistes dans les dictionnaires de professionnels et de profanes : un petit espoir de changement?
Authors: Farina Annick
Published: February 2025

Les dictionnaires profanes en ligne, et en particulier des ressources collaboratives comme le Wiktionnaire, sous le signe de l'« immédiateté » et de l'absence de limitations dans le choix des entrées, semblent pouvoir échapper à des contraintes qui empêchent au contraire les dictionnaires de professionnels de présenter une image actualisée de la langue. La quantité et la diversité des auteurs qui participent à leur réalisation devraient de plus permettre d'attester d'usages et de savoirs élargis sur la langue. L'observation du traitement lexicographique de certains mots et expressions se référant aux femmes, que l’on peut considérer comme participant d’une idéologie sexiste, confirme les observations du Haut conseil à l'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes qui dénonce le fait qu'en France les manifestations du sexisme, « perçues comme banales », bénéficient d’une « tolérance sociale » qui est en décalage avec une opinion négative sur l'idéologie qu'elles véhiculent. L'analyse des défauts et des qualités des différents types de ressources consultées sur ce point nous permettent de considérer qu’une influence réciproque pourrait aider à combler ce retard lexicographique par rapport à la société, pour sortir avec elle de l'écueil discriminatoire sexiste.

La Universidad en un contexto cambiante
Authors:   Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Cárdenas Tapia Juan Alcides
Published: February 2025

Existe una creciente literatura acerca de lo que está cambiando en el mundo y cuáles han sido las diferentes respuestas en los sistemas educativos, incluidas las universidades, desde los informes del BM (UNESCO, 1998; BM, 2003) hasta las publicaciones de libros y artículos de investigadores. Para algunos autores, la Universidad es una de las instituciones que —junto con su homóloga la Iglesia— es la que más ha permanecido en el tiempo y en la historia (Morin, 1998; Barnett, 2002; Freitag, 2004), y a pesar de los siglos mantiene muchos atributos que son originales y que en esencia configuran su naturaleza institucional. Si bien los cambios del contexto universitario han sido profundos en todo el concierto internacional, se la reconoce por su misión central de formación, generación y transferencia de conocimientos, que lo hace a través de sus funciones de docencia, investigación y extensión.
Enfoques teóricos de la Universidad como organización
Authors:   Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Cárdenas Tapia Juan Alcides
Published: February 2025

Nuestra propuesta es que la dimensión organizativa de la educación debe estar en función de lo académico y su estructura debe contribuir a la eficacia de la gestión (cf. cap. 3). Toda organización contiene una estructura organizativa que le permite moverse con fuerza y agilidad o cuyo movimiento puede ser lento y débil (Morin, 1998; Barnett, 2002). De este modo, las organizaciones educativas se caracterizan por la unión de esfuerzos para conseguir un objetivo común. Para ello es necesario que las personas colaboren y se repartan las funciones.

Birth spine and spinal cord injury (Draft of the clinical recommendations)
Authors: Palchik Alexander B. , Ivanov Dmitry O. , Fomina Maria Yu. , Ponyatishin Andrey E. , Minin Aleksey V.
Published: February 2025

Birth spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord of a neonates due to mechanical causes during childbirth. The leading role in the development of spinal cord injury in newborns is played by excessive longitudinal or lateral traction of the spine or excessive twisting. The true incidence of birth spinal cord injury is unclear. There is currently no single classification of birth spinal cord injury and the distinction is made based on morphology, localization, nature and type of disorders. Birth spinal cord injury has 3 main groups of manifestations: stillbirth or rapid death of the newborn; respiratory failure; muscle weakness and hypotension, alternating with spasticity. Along with a visual examination of the newborn, it is recommended to conduct a study of the acid-base balance and blood gases in order to clarify the nature and treatment of respiratory failure; X-ray of the cervical and thoracic spine, ultrasound examination of the spinal cord, computed tomography of the spine and / or magnetic resonance imaging of the spine and spinal cord for the purpose of differential diagnosis; ultrasonic examination of the lungs to detect high placement of the diaphragm in case of damage to the C3–C5 segments of the spinal cord, consultations with a neurologist, anesthesiologist-resuscitator and a neurosurgeon. Mechanic respiratory ventilation is recommended for a newborn with birth spinal cord injury and with signs of damage to the C3–C5 segments and respiratory failure; in the presence of extramedullary damage, fracture or dislocation of the vertebrae — emergency neurosurgical treatment. Rehabilitation includes measures in the form of massage of the upper limb, therapeutic exercise, individual lessons, physiotherapy in order to restore the functions of the muscles and joints of the shoulder girdle; in case of respiratory regulation disorders — home ventilator systems; in case of persistent movement disorders after 1 month of age — transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation of the spinal cord. It is recommended to assess the size of the pregnant woman’s pelvis and the intrauterine presentation of the fetus in order to select the type of delivery to prevent birth spinal cord injury, rational drug therapy and anesthetic care for the pregnant woman in order to prevent dysfunctional labor.

Published: February 2025

Dalam menjalani pembinaan di lembaga pemasyarakatan, narapidana wanita yang mempunyai balita memiliki beberapa kendala psikologis. Untuk menghadapi kendala tersebut dibutuhkan adanya resiliensi atau kemampuan bertahan dan survive. Resiliensi yang baik dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor. Faktor yang paling berpengaruh ialah support system. Maka dari itu diperlukan dukungan atau pertolongan pertama yang diterapkan oleh orang disekitar narapidana tersebut. Dukungan tersebut ialah psychological first aid. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas penerapan Psychological First Aid (PFA) terhadap pengelolaan resiliensi narapidana wanita yang mempunyai balita di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Perempuan Kelas II-A Semarang. Pengabdian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuasi-eksperimental dengan desain pre-test dan post-test dengan kelompok kontrol. Subjek pengabdian terdiri dari 15 narapidana wanita yang mempunyai balita yang dibagi secara acak menjadi dua kelompok. Pengukuran resiliensi dilakukan sebelum dan setelah intervensi menggunakan instrumen valid dan reliabel. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan signifikan resiliensi pada kelompok eksperimen dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol (p < 0,001) dan nilai t=12,4. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa program Psychological First Aid yang dikembangkan efektif dalam mengelola resiliensi dan meningkatkan kemampuan narapidana dalam menghadapi stres dan trauma. Program ini diharapkan dapat menjadi model intervensi yang efektif seperti konseling peer group untuk mendukung kesehatan mental dan kesejahteraan narapidana wanita.

Organizations that interact in the management of reusable household solid waste, with the passage of time, are exposed to difficulties in walking on the path of sustainability. In this article, it builds a model for the sustainability of the usable household solid waste market in Neiva, Colombia, to simulate two scenarios of public policy intervention strategies, in a 30-year horizon, using a qualitative methodology through the Dynamics of Systems and the semi-structured interview. Among the results, the need to make the price work as a mechanism of interaction between buyers and sellers stands out, but with the necessary regulation of prices by the State. As conclusion, concentrated strategies only to affect supply are not enough in the long term. It is also necessary to establish, simultaneously, strategies that encourage demand, in such a way that the profitability of recycling organizations increase.  It is also necessary to simultaneously establish strategies to stimulate demand in order to increase the profitability of recycling organizations, improve the income of waste pickers and contribute to the environment, by reducing the amount of solid waste that go to the Los Angeles Landfill, thanks to the circular economy adopted by the industry that uses this waste as raw material

Published: February 2025

The purpose of this document is to provide the different stakeholders of tourism in Colombia with an objective overview of the factors associated with competitiveness and sustainability, enabling the establishment and analysis of potential management scenarios, which must be managed correctly, to obtain suitable positioning and profitability indicators in global markets. The researchers analyzed 22 geographical areas, considering a quantitative descriptive, and principal components analysis, through the use of the SPSS statistical tool. The results allow identifying that the most representative variables are the cultural, economic, marketing strategies, and infrastructure factors, therefore, they should continue to be managed with public and private resources in the framework of guaranteeing continuity and potential improvement. However, aspects inherent to the environmental area, destination management, business management, and social management should be the object of public policies with greater efficacy, efficiency, and effectiveness, to mitigate the existing gaps with other tourist destinations. Likewise, the work highlights the relevance of developing comprehensive projects at the national level, which can generate effects on the multiple variables associated with the competitiveness and sustainability of tourism in Colombia because it represents one of the most important sectors for the national economy due to its contribution in terms of wealth generation and social welfare.

Published: February 2025

This paper presents a proposal of theoretical accounting aspects to establish the epistemological foundations of species extinction accounting, which seeks to generate information and make assertive decisions for the preservation of species, especially those in danger of extinction, which facilitates the survival of the human race; for this purpose, the background, evolution and characterization of the specific concepts were explored, as well as related concepts such as eco-accounting, bio-accounting, accounting for sustainability and environmental accounting; its relationship with the issuers of sustainability standards and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) was also analyzed. The work is of an exploratory type, given that accounting for extinction is a recent concept, as well as other emerging concepts that intend to contribute from the accounting discipline to a problem whose response requires interdisciplinary efforts; a documentary analysis of several articles, books, web pages and interviews to accounting experts was developed. It is concluded that accounting can and should contribute to the solution of society's problems, not only focused on economic and financial areas, which are ultimately related to social and environmental aspects

Published: February 2025

Globalization is a phenomenon that has brought profound changes in economic, cultural, and technological relations between countries. In addition, interest in the environment and the effects of global industry and trade activities on it has increased over the last fifty years. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a consequence of globalization and Colombia, through Law 1314 of 2009, brought important changes at national level in accounting practice in general. The general objective of the research project presented here is to review the existing literature between the years 2014 and 2021 about IFRS 6 focused on companies in the Colombian mining sector belonging to groups 2 and 3, having financial accounting as its disciplinary delimitation. As specific objectives to achieve the general objective, it will be necessary to: diagnose how much accounting literature and research have contributed to the improvement of the implementation processes of IFRS 6 in companies in the Colombian mining sector; examine the degree of relevance of published research on IFRS 6 in the context of companies in the Colombian mining sector; discuss which topics can be investigated and are relevant for better implementation of IFRS 6 in companies in the Colombian mining sector; propose a series of investigations that enrich what has already been published and other new ones in the implementation of IFRS 6 in companies in the Colombian mining sector. This bibliographic review was developed with a qualitative methodology, having an exploratory descriptive approach, non-experimental design and using the data registration form as an instrument. This research has aroused the interest of professors dedicated to research to find out what has been said and what is happening in micro, small and medium enterprises of mining sector in Colombia.
Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission and the nurse's role: the case of a pregnant woman living with HIV in Bamenda Health District, in the North West Region of Cameroon
Authors: Ndong Nicoline Nsangli
Published: February 2025

Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV infection is a significant health problem facing most low and middle-income countries. Also known as Vertical Transmission, PMTCT refers to the interventions put in place to prevent the transmission of HIV from a mother living with HIV to her infant either during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or breastfeeding. In the absence of intervention, the rate of transmission of HIV from a mother living with HIV to her child during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or breastfeeding ranges from 15% to 45% (1). Approximately 1/3 of HIV-exposed babies will acquire HIV infection in the absence of preventive measures
Simulation-Based Reflection in a Digital Circuits Course
Authors: Dickerson Samuel J , Clark Renee M
Published: February 2025

A unique method for promoting reflection among engineering students was used in the present study involving a digital circuits course. The method combined computer-based simulation for digital circuit design with reflective-thought prompts after a midterm exam for post-exam analysis and reflection. This method was first implemented in a microelectronics course using the SPICE simulator, and lessons learned from the initial implementation were applied to the digital circuits course. These lessons learned included the need to scaffold students in the use of the simulation tool for reflection, the need to balance frequency of reflection with student workload and fatigue, and the need for question prompts that voluntarily elicit broad thought after a milestone event such as a midterm exam (versus a quiz). Using a published depth rubric, the assessment results found increased depth of reflection in the present course relative to the initial implementation in microelectronics. Specifically, there were increases in depth of reflection after the midterm exam in the present course versus the midterm exam and two quizzes in the microelectronics course, and the increases in depth were significant relative to the quizzes. There was also an increase in the relative occurrence of broad reflections in the present course, with significant differences compared to the quizzes. Although significant differences were not found in the final exam averages based on depth of reflection after the midterm exam or participation in this reflection, results from a follow-up survey several months after the course ended indicated benefit for students. Specifically, 80% of those who competed the reflection exercise indicated a high or very high perceived benefit from doing so. Of the approximately 50% who chose not to complete the reflection exercise, the primary reasons were identified via the follow-up survey. Findings from this work align with and add to the developing literature on student reactions to reflection.
Integrating Computer Science across Wyomings K-12 Curriculum from Inception to Implementation: Analysis Using Systems Theory
Authors: Northrup Astrid , Borowczak Andrea C
Published: February 2025

In 2001, the Wyoming Supreme Court ruled in State v. Campbell County that every Wyoming K-12 student has constitutional protection for a fair, complete, and equal education appropriate for the times. This protection results in the universal availability of a "basket of goods," or a set of educational deliverables guaranteed to each student independent of the resources of individual school districts. In 2019, an executive action by Governor Matt Mead added to the deliverables "the use and understanding of computer science." His executive action initiated a system in which universal computer science became available to every Wyoming K-12 student by the 2022-2023 school year. The purpose of this paper is to use archival research methods through the lens of systems theory to explore the process of conceiving and implementing universal K-12 computer science education in Wyoming by considering the research question: How does systems theory provide a model for understanding Wyoming's universal K-12 computer science education delivery? Systems theory has been used to study organizational components and to analyze engineering systems since the 1950s, and a review of the literature indicates that many social systems can be understood through systems theory. However, using systems theory to study educational systems has not been studied in a comprehensive manner, resulting in a literature gap. This study analyzes how Wyoming's universal K-12 computer science delivery acts as a system. This paper provides recommendations from existing conditions to full availability, based on autopoiesis (the ability of a system to maintain itself) and summum bonum, or the ultimate good.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of this research was to develop classroom project modules that supported students in developing an entrepreneurial mindset in the context of software engineering. The modules connect the software development life-cycle from beginning to end including user focused requirements elicitation and evaluating quality attributes. The modules were implemented in a junior level software engineering course, and three modules were surveyed in 2019 as part of a school-wide effort to embed entrepreneurial mindset into engineering curriculum. An IRB approved, student survey was developed and measured student perceptions of learning objectives that tie directly into ABET accreditation outcomes. Students reported they found the activities most helpful for designing, building, and testing real world systems. The development of these modules was a component of increasing the process focus of the software engineering course by implementing a novel version of agile software development with active learning techniques. The practical experiments in this course taught from 2017 through 2021 allow us to report extensions and variants for adapting this design to existing software engineering courses at other universities. Among these variants we propose adopting class-wide teams which is atypical at other universities for junior-level project courses. Qualitatively, we found that the student work completed in these modules to be higher quality than similar work submitted in prior years. Exam scores were improved when measuring students ability to create use cases, especially clarity and completeness. Student performance was greatly improved when writing use cases, especially clarity and completeness which was reflected in improved projects. Quantitatively, the same mindset objectives were assessed in other course modules as part a larger curriculum wide effort in Engineering. The numerical results indicate that the modules in this course outperformed other modules in the curriculum for most of the mindset objectives. Ultimately, the results indicate these types of modules may play an important role in entrepreneurial mindset development for computer science students.
Enhancing Computer Science Education with Pair Programming and Problem Solving Studios
Authors: Orr J. Walker
Published: February 2025

This study examines the adaptation of the problem-solving studio to computer science education by combining it with pair programming. Pair programming is a successful software engineering practice in industry, but has seen mixed results in the classroom. Recent research suggests that pair programming has promise and potential to be an effective pedagogical tool, however what constitutes good instructional design and implementation for pair programming in the classroom is not clear. We developed a framework for instructional design for pair programming by adapting the problem-solving studio (PSS), a pedagogy originally from biomedical engineering. PSS involves teams of students solving open-ended problems with real-time feedback given by the instructor. Notably, PSS uses problems of adjustable difficulty to keep students of all levels engaged and functioning within the zone of proximal development. The course structure has three stages, first starting with demonstration, followed by a PSS session, then finishing with a debrief. We studied the combination of PSS and pair programming in a CS1 class over three years. Surveys of the students report a high level of engagement, learning, and motivation.
On Building and Implementing Adaptive Learning Platform Lessons for Pre-Class Learning in a Flipped Course

Research shows that active learning improves student performance and narrows the achievement gaps for marginalized groups. One of the active learning strategies is the use of flipped learning. However, flipped classrooms pose challenges due to reluctant student preparation in the pre-class learning requirements and general resistance from students to the modality. To address these challenges for a flipped engineering course in Numerical Methods, adaptive learning lessons that present content, assessment, and feedback based on student engagement and performance were created for pre-class learning using a commercial platform. The paper details how the lessons were developed, implemented in pre-class learning, and revised, creating a framework for other engineering educators who may want to duplicate them. An initial study of student behavior during the lessons showed that a low-performing student made many more attempts at the assessments while spending less time on the accompanying learning materials.
Mapping of Ethno-Cultural Landscapes of the Indigenous Peoples of the North of Yakutia
Authors: Degteva Z. F.
Published: February 2025

Aim. We determine the specifics of mapping complex territorial systems, i.e. ethno-cultural landscapes, in order to meet the challenges of preserving languages and cultural heritage of indigenous peoples.

Methodology. The paper uses the cartographic method to study ethnocultural landscapes of indigenous peoples. It examines and analyzes theoretical foundations and various approaches to ethnocultural landscape mapping. The specifics of ethnic culture and regional features of the territory under study are analyzed and thematic datasets are defined. The basic principles of mapping are proposed to be considered on the methodological basis of the systematic approach, which ensures the integrity and interconnectedness of all components of the ethnocultural landscape in mapping.

Results. The need for a special approach to mapping ethnocultural landscapes of indigenous peoples of Russia is identified. The main mapping units are established to display the modern state of ethnocultural landscapes.

Research implications. A comprehensive approach to mapping contemporary ethnocultural landscapes of small indigenous peoples is proposed, making it possible to identify patterns of spatial differentiation and gain insight into the development and transformation of ethnocultural territorial systems. This, in turn, will make it possible to solve a number of strategic tasks for the preservation of unique cultural heritage of Russia’s indigenous minorities.
Landscape and Textual Presentation of Culture
Authors: Kagansky V.
Published: February 2025

Aim. We analyze the conceptual cultural anthropology of the landscape.

Methodology. Use is made of theoretical and geographical morphology of the cultural landscape, semiotic culturology of Yu. M. Lotman, and concepts of glossematics. Landscape is interpreted in three ways as a component, a projective test and a model of cultural space and culture as such.

Results. The existence of culture in the landscape, the landscape status of culture and the cultural status of the landscape are considered. The morphology of the cultural landscape is interpreted both as the morphology of cultural space and as its model. The methodological metaphor “reading the landscape” is developed.

Research implication. The theoretical significance lies in the final conclusion of the work: the dangers of culture fragmentation consist in the gap between the layers of culture rather than in semiotic “troubles” trivial for culture, local gaps and lacunae, loss of even essential components, difficulties in translating components and a multitude of local loci of semantic chaos due to untranslatability, mutual annihilation of meanings at borders, and inappropriate flows.
Love and Place. In Memory of Yi-Fu Tuan
Authors: Lavrenova O. A.
Published: February 2025

Aim. The purpose of the paper is to assess the potential of the creative heritage of the ChineseAmerican geographer Yi-Fu Tuan in the context of the problems and research directions of modern humanitarian geography.

Methodology. The content analysis of Yi-Fu Tuan’s works is performed in connection with studies on the humanist and cultural geography of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, which to varying degrees are based on his works or debate with him. Methods of comparative-historical, as well as interpretive and comparative analysis are also used.

Results. We demonstrate the determining role of theoretical and methodological approaches proposed by Yi-Fu Tuan for the study of landscapes through a wide range of human senses, as well as for further research in the field of humanist geography. Tuan adheres to the concept of the dichotomy of space and place, where in an undifferentiated space there are places that arouse some feelings in a person, i.e. affection, fear, and dislike; thereby, these places become subjective, i.e. “humanized”. Using this concept, Tuan proposed the term “topophilia,” which means the liking for a place, and this feeling is not idiosyncratic: most often it is due to historical and cultural reasons (including the iconic system of culture and cosmography) and personal experience. This term and concept formed the basis of numerous studies of the meaning, sense and image of a place. Tuan’s conceptual studies also included examination of the causes of fear of the environment and specific places, which are also due to historical, cultural and personal reasons. In this paper, Tuan’s studies are presented in a broad cultural and geographical discourse. Parallels are also drawn with new scientific directions related to the perception of a place, both static and dynamic (including different tourism directions).

Research implications. The theoretical and/or practical significance of this work is to reveal the significance of the theoretical heritage of Yi-Fu Tuan for certain areas of modern geography and humanities related to the perception and un
