Poemas de Ko Un
Authors: Shu Sung-Chul
Published: December 2024

Desde finales de 1950 hasta hoy, el nombre Ko Un ha sido un nombre sobresaliente como representante de la literatura coreana y siempre, sin vacilación, ha ocupado un lugar firme. Las obras que ha realizado durante más de treinta años nos sorprenden por su abundancia, productividad que noalcanza cualquiera. Ha publicado hasta ahora más de cien libros, de poesia, de novela, de ensayo, como si sacara agua de una fuente inagotable, y todavía sigue conservando una actividad creativa vigorosa. Declaró una vez, en un discurso, cuando obtuvo un premio literario: "Edades tales como los cincuenta o sesenta años no son sino una edad equivalente a la del niño que de hecho uno puede empezar a ser nuevamente." En su camino literario, parecería que estuviese en el principio y no se viese el fin. Cada vez que se publica una nueva antología poética, espera que ésa sea la primera; por eso su obra es inimaginable.

Algunas claves para la investigación de la historia política en los espacios locales y regionales
Authors: Servetto Alicia , Moyano Javier
Published: December 2024

Las investigaciones sobre política regional han sido pertinentes para analizar, en diferentes marcos nacionales y en diversos procesos temporales, inercias transformaciones ante cambios Contextuales ocurridos en una escala más amplia. El análisis regional también ha proporcionado herramientas para corroborar, confrontar o matizar interpretaciones generales. Además, muchas veces ha revestido utilidad para considerar la incidencia de actores locales en otras esferas de poder, tanto en lo relativo a la conformación de coaliciones de poder como en lo referente a las posibilidades de alcanzar niveles aceptables de estabilidad en diferentes regímenes políticos.

Stratégies d’autofabulation dans les textes de début d’Annie Ernaux
Authors:   Universitatea din Bucureşti, Académie de Lyon, Franţa, Giroud Adnana
Published: December 2024

Following the resurgence of texts centered on a single subject, which intensified from 1970 onwards thanks to numerous literary and cultural factors, two different attitudes emerged, one attached to the principle of truth and implying respect for a certain fidelity to the original referential context, and the other ready to partially dissociate itself from reality to allow the emergence of a hybrid narrative identity, constructed by fragmentation and collage, and whose appearance requires an almost intimate contiguity of the referential and fictional. We will propose, in the first part of this article, a rapid study of the meanings of the three different but bordering genres born from these movements – autobiography, the autobiographical novel and autofiction –, with the aim of understanding the meeting points and divergence between them, and in the second part we will attempt to analyze the self-fabulation strategies implemented by Annie Ernaux in her early texts with the aim of softening the border between the lived world and the narrated world.

Interfaces numériques et représentation de soi dans Les Liens artificiels, de Nathan Devers
Authors:   Universitatea din Bucureşti, Tănase Daniela
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the transformations of personal identity in the digital space as depicted in Nathan Devers’ novel Les Liens artificiels. We will follow the identity destruction process of the main character, Julien/Vangel, exploring the factors leading to this “self” decay phenomenon and his reaction to his imminent end. We will also discuss the humanization of the digital apparatus and the instrumentalization and objectification of Julien’s identity; we will address the immersion process into the digital space, identifying the steps and conditions enabling this immersion and the resulting identity transformations. Finally, we will explore how the character immerses himself in the digital device to the point of total identification, losing his real identity and becoming an integral part of the digital system.

Authors:   Asia-Europe Perspective Association, Du Kangkang , Ryu Mi Hyun
Published: December 2024

Along with the development of companion animal culture, the roles of companion animals in Chinese family are becoming more and more important, and people’s interest in companion animal health is gradually increasing. Moreover, due to COVID-19, global interest in telemedicine services for companion animals that can provide medical services without direct contact with companion animals or their guardians is getting keener, and in China, too, the use of telemedicine for companion animals is also increasing. Therefore, this study applied the theory of planned behavior and inputted the variable of perceived risk for analysis to understand the intention to use telemedicine service for companion animals. The main research findings are as follows: First, attitudnes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control which are the TPB variables of telemedicine service for companion animals have been all found to have significantly positive effects on use intention. Second, among perceived risks about telemedicine service for companion animals, economic risk and performance risk have been found to have significantly negative effects on use intention.

Published: December 2024

The cause of the disappearance of the primitive hominin, Homo floresiensis, from the Indonesian island of Flores ~50,000 years ago is a key question in palaeoanthropology. The potential roles of human agency and climate change continue to be debated, but the history of freshwater availability critical to survival at the type locality, Liang Bua, remains unknown. Although speleothem 18O is used widely as a proxy for monsoon rainfall, seasonal rainfall variations with contrasting 18O values can distort the record without altering mean annual rainfall. Here, we reconstruct summer and winter rainfall concurrent with H. floresiensis by combining speleothem Mg/Ca (a local rainfall proxy) with 18O (for rainfall seasonality). Geochemical modelling of the Mg-18O system shows that H. floresiensis and its primary prey, Stegodon, experienced a protracted decline in mean annual rainfall from ~1,560 to 960 mm between 76,000 and 55,000 years ago. During the final occupation phase at Liang Bua 60,000–50,000 years ago, summer rainfall dropped to a record low of ~430 mm, indicative of limited recharge of river-bed watering points and dry-season water stress. These findings point to landscape aridification, and intensified human-faunal interaction around dwindling resources, as likely contributors to the abandonment of Liang Bua.
Functional regression for space-time prediction of precipitation-induced shallow landslides in South Tyrol, Italy
Authors: Moreno Mateo , Lombardo Luigi , Steger Stefan , de Vugt Lotte , Zieher Thomas , Crespi Alice , Marra Francesco , van Westen Cees , Opitz Thomas
Published: December 2024

Shallow landslides are geomorphic hazards in mountainous terrains across the globe. Their occurrence can be attributed to the interplay of static and dynamic landslide controls. In previous studies, data-driven approaches have been employed to model shallow landslides on a regional scale, focusing on analyzing the spatial aspects and time-varying conditions separately. Still, the joint assessment of shallow landslides in space and time using data-driven methods remains challenging. This study aims to predict the occurrence of precipitation-induced shallow landslides in space and time within the Italian province of South Tyrol (7,400 km²). In this context, we investigate the benefits of considering precipitation leading to landslide events as a functional predictor, in contrast to conventional approaches that treat precipitation as a scalar predictor. We built upon hourly precipitation analysis data and past landslide occurrences from 2012 to 2021. We implemented a novel functional generalized additive model to establish statistical relationships between the spatiotemporal occurrence of shallow landslides, various static factors included as scalar predictors, and the hourly precipitation pattern preceding a potential landslide used as a functional predictor. We evaluated the resulting predictions through several cross-validation routines, achieving high model performance scores. To showcase the model capabilities, we performed a hindcast for the storm event in the Passeier Valley on August 4th and 5th, 2016. This novel approach enables the prediction of landslides in space and time for large areas by accounting for static and dynamic functional landslide controls, seasonal effects, statistical uncertainty, and underlying data limitations.
A Student's Guide to Open Science_Chapter 2_The Crisis_Author Accepted
Authors: Pennington Charlotte Rebecca
Published: December 2024

A Student’s Guide to Open Science explores the so-called “replication crisis” in psychology (the inherent difficulties in replicating or reproducing research results to test the robustness of findings) while delving into the ways that open science can address the crisis by transforming research practice.Students will develop a fundamental understanding of the origins and drivers of the crisis and learn how open science practices can enhance research transparency, replication, and reproducibility.With a handy, digestible guide for students and researchers alike on how to implement open science practices within their own workflow, as well as pedagogic teaching and learning activities that can be re-used by educators, Pennington’s new book is an essential guide to navigating the replication crisis.Key features of this book include:• An overview of landmark events that will mark the history of the replication crisis.• Case studies of classic psychological studies undergoing replication.• Test yourself activities to reinforce learning of key concepts, including an open science crossword!• Top tips for adopting open science practices, including study preregistration, Registered Reports, and open materials, code, and data.• Useful illustrations to aid understanding and facilitate revision. New concepts and practices can often feel overwhelming, but this book aims to help students and educators pick what they want from the ‘open science buffet’ and return to the table to fill up their plates again and again. Remember, we are all students of open science and will be for many years to come!
Visual Scale is Governed by Horizontal Disparities: Linton Scale Illusion
Authors: Linton Paul
Published: December 2024

We present a new illusion that challenges our understanding of visual scale. Since Helmholtz’s ‘telestereoscope’ (1857), we’ve known that stereo vision governs visual scale, turning a real-world scene into a miniature scene despite all other depth cues being present. This effect is attributed to vergence and/or vertical disparities (Howard & Rogers, 2012). By contrast, Linton (2018) BioRxiv, attributes the effect to horizontal disparities. To adjudicate between these two accounts, we build a virtual reality ‘telestereoscope’ that can decouple changes in vergence and vertical disparity from changes in horizontal disparity. First, when horizontal disparity is ramped-up, but vergence and vertical disparity are normal, the scene looks miniature. This is an astounding effect, given all other distance cues indicate a normal scene. Second, when vergence and vertical disparity are ramped-up, but horizontal disparity is normal, the scene looks normal, challenging the role that vergence and vertical disparity play in visual scale. Third, ramping-up horizontal disparity also changes the slope of the ground-plane. Fourth, keeping vergence and vertical disparity fixed whilst ramping-up horizontal disparity creates a startling illusion. We judge the scene as a whole to reduce in scale, even though all that changes in our visual experience is a distortion of 3D shape (of the scene and its objects). The illusion changes our concept of ‘visual scale’ from being something that we directly perceive (vision having a range-finder, like vergence or vertical disparity) to something we merely cognitively infer on the basis of an association between accentuated 3D shape and closer distances.
Student perspectives on quality education at their school: Toward a valid and reliable questionnaire to monitor quality education for sustainability teaching (QUEST-Q)
Authors: Sass Wanda , Pauw Jelle Boeve-de , Olsson Daniel , van der Werf Linde , Gericke Niklas
Published: December 2024

In an era when the problematic human-nature relationship has led to complex sustainability problems, quality education should equip students so they are prepared to face the challenges ahead. In order to do so, educational practitioners, policy makers, and researchers need tools to monitor efforts made. We posit that a comprehensive approach to teaching for sustainability adds quality to education for sustainability. The current study builds on earlier theoretic work on quality education for sustainability teaching (QUEST), aiming to 1) initiate the development of an assessment instrument for monitoring the quality of sustainability teaching based on the perspective of those who the education aims to empower, i.e., the students and 2) contribute to further theory development. To this end, the QUEST-framework was developed into a set of five scales that tap into students’ perspective on the content (or what, i.e., relevant holistic knowledge and sustainability competencies), educational approach (or how, i.e., a pluralistic and action-oriented teaching approach), partners and locations (where and with whom) of teaching and learning. The five scales together build a questionnaire instrument to monitor quality education for sustainability teaching (QUEST-Q). Think aloud protocols and interviews with students and teachers support the cognitive and content validity of the scales. Reliability and construct validity were verified, with all scales showing acceptable model fit. Results are discussed in light of advancing theory and providing avenues for future research. We offer practitioners, policy makers, and researchers the QUEST-Q to monitor students’ experiences of quality education to support a sustainable future.

Authors: Bhat Chudamani Singh , Mahato Bikesh Kumar , Nepali Bijeta
Published: December 2024

Background: Pathao, a leading ride-sharing and delivery service in Nepal, has gained significant popularity, especially among younger demographics. Understanding customer perceptions, usage patterns, and satisfaction levels is crucial for Pathao to enhance its offerings and maintain its competitive edge in the growing market.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate user awareness, service adoption, satisfaction levels, and areas of improvement for Pathao services in Nepal.
Methods: A structured survey was conducted among 59 respondents to gather data on demographic characteristics, service usage preferences, and customer satisfaction. Responses were analyzed using frequency and percentage distributions to identify key trends and insights.
Findings: The results indicate a high level of awareness (96.6%) and adoption (89.8%) of Pathao services, with ride-sharing being the most preferred service (45.8%). The majority of users belong to the 18-24 age group (76.3%) and are male (66.1%). Customer satisfaction is notable in areas such as service availability (71.2%) and responsiveness (52.5%), but some users expressed neutrality or dissatisfaction regarding peak-time charges (49%) and vehicle cleanliness (47.5%). A significant portion (54.2%) is likely to recommend Pathao, highlighting strong word-of-mouth potential.
Conclusion: Pathao has established itself as a trusted service provider among its core demographics. However, addressing concerns related to dynamic pricing, vehicle cleanliness, and tailored services for female users can enhance satisfaction and loyalty.
Novelty: This study offers a comprehensive analysis of customer experiences with Pathao in Nepal, providing actionable insights to bridge service gaps and improve market positioning in a competitive landscape.
Barriers to Accessing Care (BACE) Score in Patients Attending Mental Health Services
Authors: Khanal Iswori
Published: December 2024

Background: The World Health Organization's definition of health has stressed mental health as an important component. Terms such as access, availability, utilization and coverage have often been used interchangeably to reveal whether people are receiving the services, they need. To reduce the unmet need for treatment and it is crucial to identify barriers in mental health to reduce adverse effects associated with the absence or postponement  of timely treatment.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in Mental Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal. People   suffering from mental illness who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited and  BACE scale was administered along with relevant details of participants.
Results: Among the patient reported barriers related to stigma, the most reported concern was “ concerned that I might be seen as weak for having a mental health problem “(33.6 %), Among the reported instrumental barriers in BACE scale , “having no one who could help me get professional care (18.2)“ was the most reported major barrier, Among the different attitudinal components in BACE scale “wanting to solve problem on my own” (21.9%) was the most reported barrier.
Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that people people suffering from mental illness also experience   different barriers during help seeking . This barriers is found more on people below 45 years of age and people with low socio economic status. These barriers influence the quality of life in terms of decline in physical health and environment.
Novelty: BACE scale administered on large sample size.
Henry H. Remak. ‘Comparative literature at the crossroads: Diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis’
Authors: Shaytanov I. O.
Published: December 2024

Henry H. Remak established his reputation as one of the active and productive participants in the comparative literature ‘crisis’ events, and it is no wonder that his extensive contribution prefaced the summing-up issue of the Yearbook of Comparative and General Literature (1960, Vol. 9, pp. 1–28) where the discussion started five years earlier. A Jewish émigré to the USA from the fascist Germany, Remak stood in the position that provided him an opportunity to bring together the approach and ideas advanced by American and European scholars. Ready to acknowledge the former French achievement, he avoided the extremes of its ‘old factualism’ and adopted a broader cultural position supported by analogy studies. He closed his article pinpointing general tendencies and embraced among them some Russian ideas concerning translation (the Russian formalists, Zhirmunsky) and ‘transition in cyclic stages’ (Plekhanov); though not directly, but through Gleb Struve, Remak was introduced to Aleksandr Veselovsky’s poetics of plot and his ‘theory of borrowings.’ Remak closes his article in hopes of growing cooperation in comparative literature, when many new factors would be brought in to provide a multidisciplinary character to this approach.
DETECTION CHANGES AND ANALYSIS OF URBAN SPRAWL IN M’SILA CITY (ALGERIA): CONTRIBUTION OF SPATIAL REMOTE SENSING AND GIS
Authors: Abbas Saliha
Published: December 2024

Urban sprawl is one of the major problems facing Algerian cities, For almost half a century, urban sprawl, due to its unprecedented scale, has profoundly changed the relationship of cities to space and has given rise to the emergence of new urban forms, The monitoring and understanding of its spatial evolution remain an essential step in any approach to the sustainable development of the steppe city, local authorities do not have appropriate tools, likely to be updated regularly, to enable them to act effectively in terms of planning and spatial development, spatial remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) offer opportunities to overcome these difficulties.
The study presented here consists of the application of a change detection technique to map and quantify the spatiotemporal spread of the city of M’sila (Algeria) during the period 1985 - 2023, using Landsat images from the years 1985, 2000 and 2023. The post-classification comparison of land use maps revealed an increase in built-up areas, especially along roads, despite this urban spatial growth, agricultural activities remain visible, which means that there is a competition between urban development and agricultural production areas is therefore evident.
The objective of this study is to highlight the process of urban sprawl and the changes in land use it generates, it shows the importance of change detection methods for understanding forms of urbanization and assessing their impacts on steppe cities.

Published: December 2024

Казахстан считается страной, благополучной по катаральной лихорадке овец (КЛО). В то же время мокрецы рода Culicoides, являющиеся основными переносчиками вируса, вызывающего КЛО, распространены в стране практически повсеместно. На юге Казахстана сложились идеальные условия для распространения КЛО в случае заноса вируса из других стран, включающие оптимальный для размножения мокрецов климат, высокую плотность восприимчивого к вирусу скота и постоянный при-ток импортируемого племенного скота из районов, где инфекция является эндемичной. Неконтролируемое распространение КЛО на территории Казахстана может быть сопряжено с колоссальными экономическими потерями в силу того, что овцеводство имеет чрезвычайно важное значение для отечественного животноводства. Экономические затраты в этом случае не будут ограничиваться лишь падежом животных: существенный ущерб может быть нанесен имиджу нашей страны как экспортёру баранины. В настоящем обзоре приведены сведения, подчеркивающие значимость программ по контролю КЛО в Казахстане и эпидемиологический анализ рисков распространения данной инфекции в стране.

Republic, Folklore and Tradition
Authors: Le Gall Laurent
Published: December 2024

In 1900, there were around one thousand folklorists writing about folk traditions in France. While some were “pioneers” endeavoring to establish a discipline scientifically, most of them just indulged their curiosity on a part-time basis. All of them, however, contributed to an increasing interest in knowledge about “the people.” This invites us to question what folklorisme says about the nature of folkloristic discourse. Although it never met a “science of tradition,” folklorisme always mobilized an interpretation of the world in which tradition was considered an authority. Straddling the registers of a modernity it supported and a tradition it was forced to work with, the Republic did not, however, bank on folklorisme. There is something of a paradox here that needs to be clarified.

Authors: Khan Shabnam Razzaq , Khan Zulfiqar , Shah Azmat Ali
Published: December 2024

The researchers set out to discover the interplay between various leadership styles. All of the participants were PE instructors from public schools in the Punjab area of Pakistan. There were 207 male teachers and 177 female teachers (PE). Data was recorded using hand-made scales. Inferential and descriptive statistics worked together to get the outcome. On the other hand, research showed that PE teachers' professional dedication suffered under a "laissez-faire" leadership style. When asked about the opinions of college PE teachers, the researcher concluded that transactional leadership was the most prevalent and effective type. A college-level organizational commitment may result from physical education instructors receiving new information and skills from the school's principal or head.

The paper presents the findings of electrical survey of Zvyagino-4 unfortified settlement of the Alakul culture (1700s–1600s BC). The settlement is found in the forest-steppe part of the Southern Trans-Urals. The study uses total station survey, digital surface modelling and electromagnetic profiling (with AEMP-14 electromagnetic frequency sensing equipment) and investigates the territory of the Bronze Age site. The most significant findings were identified for the common-mode component. They suggest that the upper levels reveal contours of a site of a complex geometric shape. According to the total data, this site can be associated with the localization of the cultural layer, the ashfield and the place of construction of Bronze Age buildings. The experience of electrical survey at the Alakul culture unfortified settlement Zvyagino-4 allows a hypothetical reconstruction of the Bronze Age settlement planning. It is assumed there were 5 buildings arranged in two parallel rows. The study clarifies boundaries and area of the settlement buildings (1700 sq.m.). It is noteworthy that the problem of delimitation of the area of the buildings and the area of the developed space has not yet been raised in the light of the materials of unfortified settlements. Despite the insufficient interpretation methodology the electrical survey method we use for archaeological sites can be considered successful.

The study examines the behavior of vortex-like magnetic inhomogeneities that arise in a ferromagnetic disk with spatially modulated uniaxial anisotropy under magnetic fields of varying orientations. The research identifies the characteristic remagnetization stages of the vortex-like inhomogeneities formed in the region of the defect. critical fields of their rearrangement are found and an explanation is given for the difference in the behavior of these inhomogeneities in perpendicular and planar magnetic fields. The effect of the helicity of the magnetic skyrmion localized on the defect on its remagnetization process in the planar field is revealed.

The features of the magnetic microstructure of La0.73Dy0.27Mn2Si2 at 293 K have been visualized by atomic force and magnetic force microscopy. Magnetic force images reveal the presence of low-contrast magnetic domains. The change of Raman spectral characteristics of light scattering in the process of cooling La0.73Dy0.27Mn2Si2 to a temperature of 263 K is experimentally detected. The electronic structure of La0.73Dy0.27Mn2Si2 is investigated by resonance photoemission spectroscopy with the use of the synchrotron radiation. Resonances at 3d and 4d levels of electronic structure show different properties of valence electrons. Using the 3d–4f (M4.5 absorption edge) resonance, the distribution of 4f states of dysprosium in the valence band is determined. Photoemission upon the giant Dy 4d–4f (N4.5 absorption edge) resonance is determined by the contribution of all states in the valence band due to the sudden involvement of the Coulomb interaction. The energies of La and 4f levels of La, the 4f level of Dy, and the 3d level of Mn in the valence band have been determined.
Another unsolvable problem and axiom of biology: it is impossible to deduce the properties of cells in an organism from the properties of individual cells
Authors: Kondratyeva L. G. , Sverdlov E. D.
Published: December 2024

Within a brief commentary, the problem of unpredictable “emergent” properties of complex biological systems arising from interactions between their individual components is discussed. We draw attention to the fundamental impossibility of determining the state of the cell within the organism based on the data obtained after its separation from the multicellular system. Briefly considered are the current state of research on the history of the emergence of multicellularity and the complexity it has introduced into the discussion of the evolution of life on Earth. An axiom is proposed summarizing existing data, asserting that properties of multicellular organisms emerge at each level of organization that are unpredictable based on the properties of individual modules and cells. It is not possible to derive from the properties of individual cell components their properties in the whole organism.
Co-Cultivation of Fungi and Microalgae for Biotechnology

Published: December 2024

The review examines the results of studies of the last decade on the co-cultivation of fungi and microalgae. It outlines the mechanisms of interaction between fungi and microscopic algae during associative cultivation and briefly discusses the methods for the formation of flocs. Key importance for biotechnology is the ability of fungi and algae to form granules (floccules), which are easy to separate from the culture liquid. The synergistic effect of these relationships results in a higher level of biomass accumulation, synthesis of lipids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and other metabolites, as well as the removal of various pollutants from wastewater. By selecting specific strains and optimizing cultivation conditions, it is possible to enhance the composition of the resulting products. So far, mostly successful laboratory experiments have been carried out in this direction, which need to be expanded and transferred to production projects. For large-scale application of these systems, it is necessary to continue research into the mechanisms of interaction between fungi and microalgae, their metabolism, regulation of biosynthetic processes using modern methods of metabolomics and proteomics, and to develop engineering solutions for their cultivation.
Species of Fungi Recommended in the Red Data Book of the Rostov Region on the Basis of the IUCN Criteria
Authors: Rebriev Yu. A.
Published: December 2024

Using the example of the preparation of the third edition of the Red data book of the Rostov Region (section Fungi), the experience of applying criteria developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature is presented. Until recently, the assessment of rarity and threats was carried out using traditionally accepted methods in Russia and often allowed for a significant degree of subjectivity. The IUCN criteria are based on quantitative assessments, which permit a more of accurate evaluation of species status and associated threats. The introduction of new assessment criteria frequently results in a notable revision of the lists of species proposed for protection, with the exclusion of a considerable number of species. The application of most criteria in relation to fungi is exceedingly challenging. Criterion B (geographical distribution: extent of occurrence and area of occupancy) is the most adequate, which allows to indirectly assess the degree of threat of extinction of the species in the territory under consideration. Since the IUCN criteria have been developed for assessment at the global level, it is necessary to develop clearer recommendations for work at the regional level regarding the assessment of the area of areal and habitat.
First Report on Macrofungi in the Greenhouses of the Donetsk Botanical Garden (Russia)
Authors: Bondarenko-Borisova I. V. , Triskiba S. D.
Published: December 2024

Totally, 26 species of macrofungi of two phyla, Basidiomycota (23 species, 88%) and Ascomycota (three species, 12%) – were recorded in the greenhouses of the Donetsk Botanical Garden over a 12-year period (2007–2008 and 2015–2024). Seven species – Cyathus striatus, Gymnopilus liquiritiae, Mycena epipterygia, M. leptocephala, Panaeolus fimicola, Peziza varia, and P. vesiculosa – were reported for the first time for the territory of the Donetsk Botanical Garden. The species diversity of macrofungi in greenhouses is relatively low – 10–18% of the species recorded in the anthropogenically transformed regional ecosystems of Donbass. Multiregional cosmopolitans (20 species, 77%) and saprotrophs (17 species, 65%) dominated among fungal species by species composition and trophic spectrum respectively. Two peaks of fruiting body formation were observed: the winter peak – in January and February, and the autumn peak – in October. Macrofungi communities of greenhouses are composed mostly of accidentally introduced species. The incoming of fungi into the greenhouses occurred with organic substrates of local and foreign origin. This may facilitate the introduction and subsequent naturalization of alien fungi in the regional phytocoenoses.

Authors: Demidenko Svetlana Yu.
Published: December 2024

The article focuses on the process of reviewing articles submitted to Russian sociological journals. Requirements for peer review procedures, its types and organization features are discussed. The problematic aspects of the review process in modern conditions are emphasized: excessive formalism, contradictory assessments, narrow circle of reviewers, dishonesty and violation of scientific ethics. The types of peer review used are discussed: main editor peer review, open peer review, single blind peer review, doudle-blind peer review. Attention is focused on the procedure for reviewing articles in the editorial office of the journal “Sociological Studies”, including taking into account changes over the past 10–15 years. The criterias and forms of assessment are being analyzed. The collegial nature of the evaluation of incoming articles is emphasized. A number of issues related to building scientific communication, in particular the interaction of the editorial board with the sociological community, are touched upon. The problematic aspects are summarized: the reduction of the scientific community, its disunity, methodological pluralism, etc., which affect the review process. The conclusion is made about the important role of peer review in the development and support of not only the sociological community, but also sociology as a science in general, because this is an important and integral part of the production of new knowledge.
