Some Recent Receptions of Early Christian Literature in Bulgaria and Their Ethnical Connotations
Authors:   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS), Bulgaria, Christov Christo
Published: November 2021

In this paper, when I use the concept of ‘early Christian literature’ I mean the body of texts from Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages that affects the controversies around the issue of God’s Grace and the role of free human will in the context of making a choice in a strict ethical sense. For that reason, firstly, here I analyze the problems that arose with relation to the doctrine of Pelagius. Secondly, in this paper, by ‘recent receptions of this early Christian literature in Bulgaria’ I mean those receptions – in a theological, literary, and ethical sense - that we encounter in current studies of Christian Latin literature done by the promising young researcher Rosen Milanov. Thirdly, the present study attempts to answer the question of the ethical connotations of those same receptions in the present-day moral controversies in Bulgaria – a country rich in conservative views of Eastern Orthodox nature, concerning contemporary ethical issues such as those related to the ratification of the Istanbul Convention last year. In this way it may be possible to obtain a more clear outlook on how such distant historical events as the Pelagian controversy about the value of free moral choice could still influence the modification processes in the sociocultural layers of modern Bulgarian society with its Eastern Orthodox heritage.

Published: November 2021

Adapted physical activity is part of physical activity in the modern world. It is therefore necessary to pay special attention to the physical condition of young people with disabilities and to increase the possibilities for the prevention and correction of already existing anomalies. This can be successfully accomplished through sport and in particular through the means of basketball. The subject of the study is basketball for people with intellectual disabilities. The object of the study are the signs of the specific preparedness of people with disabilities and the impact on them through the means of adapted basketball. The purpose of the experiment is to determine the impact of adapted basketball on people with mental disabilities. The attached experiment shows that one school year is not enough to cause significant positive changes in the level of traits studied in young people with intellectual disabilities.
The artistic-creative communication in the music class
Authors:   ", Karaivanova Binka ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

The article addresses the issue of preparing the music pedagogues for artistic-creative communication with the artistic imagery of music and with the students in the music classes. The integral factor for mastering the parameters of the artistic pedagogy by the students is the mutual conditionality of the artistic musical thinking, the complex overall knowledge of music and its perception through the prism of the musical activities in the music classes. A key moment in the development of the ability for artistic-creative communication is the direct connection between the processes of internalization of knowledge (its transformation into personal knowledge) and its implementation in a real environment through student pedagogical practice.

Electrocatalytic determination of levodopa in presence of cabergoline using carbon paste electrode modified with graphene quantum dots/2-chlorobenzoyl ferrocene/ionic liquid
Authors: Mohammadzadeh Jahani Peyman
Published: November 2021

The electrochemical sensor was fabricated for the simultaneous determination of levodopa and cabergoline using carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with graphene quantum dots (GQD), 2-chlorobenzoyl ferrocene (2CBF) and ionic liquid (IL). Then, the electrochemical behavior of levodopa alone and simultaneously with cabergoline at the surface of GQDs/2CBF/IL/CPE was investigated in phosphate buffer solution (PBS). Under optimal PBS, pH=7 condition, oxidation peak current has been found proportional to levodopa concentration in the range between 0.07 μM and 500.0 μM, with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 μM (S/N=3). Outputs showed that at GQDs/2CBF/IL/CPE surface, the levodopa and cabergoline oxidation peaks are separated by the potential difference of 200 mV. In addition, it was found that this modified electrode possesses acceptable sensitivity, selectivity, stability and repeatability. All these properties were sufficient to allow simultaneous detection of levodopa and cabergoline in real samples at the surface of GQDs/2CBF/IL/CPE. This was supported by the successful application of this electro­chemical sensor electrode for the determination of levodopa and cabergoline in urine, serum, and cabergoline tablets.
Determinants, principles and perspectives of cooperation between the polish fi nancial supervision authority and the police in economic security and prevention of economic crime — a quest for synergies
Authors: Jastrzębski Jacek , Mroczka Kamil , Stępiński Michał
Published: November 2021

The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (hereinafter: KNF) is the key element of the economic security system of the Polish State. By establishing the KNF, the Polish legislator applied the concept of integratedfi nancial supervision (covering bank supervision, insurance supervision and capital market supervision) located outside the central bank. The KNF has been vested with a broad mandate, including powers to supervise authorised entities. However, the scope and nature of measures available to the KNF in the prevention of economic crime are determined by the institutional position of the KNF, which has not been established as a law enforcement authority or a uniformed or special service but rather an institution engaged in the fi ght against economic crime by providing expertise, supporting other state services specialised in this area. The KNF and the Offi ce of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (hereinafter: UKNF) actively support, among others, the police units that fi ght crime in the fi nancial market and work to increase the economic security of the Polish State. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure broad and effi cient cooperation between the police and the KNF. However, such collaboration must not be limited to relations between the institutions’ management; it should also involve, as far as possible, working and operational activities carried out at both institutions by individuals responsible for day-to-day tasks. This paper provides a closer perspective on the formal and organisational framework of said cooperation and discusses its examples.
Contemporary terrorism against religious entities and buildings
Authors: Lubiewski Paweł
Published: November 2021

In the era of a clear intensifi cation of terrorist attacks, as well as of the threat posed by them, changes in the current strategy of terrorist groups or persons identifying themselves with their ideology are noticeable.
The main change is to focus the attacks on causing the greatest possible fear by increasing the size not so much of the damage, but of the human victims. Unfortunately, such a tactic is very effective. So far, the greatest attention of the so-called Western societies has been focused mainly on very spectacular attacks on public, commonly accessible places, where a dramatic spectacle of death was created in front of hundreds of people. However, the incident in 2016 carried out by attackers who identifi ed themselves with socalled the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria took place during the celebration of the Mass, where the clergyman conducting the celebration was killed and people attending the Mass were seriously injured, including the nuns, makes us look at the problem from a different perspective. What makes us refl ect on the above is that there were not many people in the church, but it was also not a random attack target. This event inspired the author to take a deeper look at the scale of threats that modern terrorism generates to celebrants or other clergy, as well as religious buildings.

Dynamics and structure of off ences and the ways the police respond to revealed crimes
Authors: Sadło-Nowak Agnieszka
Published: November 2021

Citizens’ sense of security depends on the activities of entities whose task is to provide this security to citizens. A citizen feels safe if his/her immediate environment is safe. These seemingly minor acts of misconduct have a very large impact on the sense of security of citizens, because it is with them that citizens most often come into contact. That is why a proper police activity in diagnosing offences, their detection and quick reaction to them is
so important. Quick reaction to an offence gives a feeling that a citizen is not left alone with the problem, but also awareness and warning that anyone who commits an offence will suffer the consequences. The article presents the ways of reacting to an offence and shows, on the basis of statistical data of the National Police Headquarters, the tendencies of reaction to offences, their scale and dynamics.

Published: November 2021

Metal-supported SOFC consists of metallic and ceramic multilayers. Since the cell has to be flat, interaction between the layers that results in a flat sintered layer needs to be studied. The method used here was changing the starting materials through several experiments. Here, we highlight the effects of pore former in metal slurry on the sintered half-cell multilayer of a 430L metallic support, an NiO-8YSZ anode, and an 8YSZ electrolyte. The results show that by changing the amount of pore former in the 430L metal slurry changed the sinterability of the metal layer. This change of the sinterability of the metal support affected the final warpage state of the cell. This study aid in explaining the sintering phenomena between layers of metal-supported SOFCs.
GÊNERO E SOCIEDADE: EXPLICAÇÕES DE SUAS RELAÇÕES E EFEITOS EDUCACIONAIS
Authors: Silva Alencar Zidani Manuel da , Martins Raul Aragão
Published: November 2021

This article works on Vygotsky’s (1987) conceptions of the relationship between thought and language from a perspective of influence on cognitive development and the formation of the view on gender proposed by the school. In this sense, we also noted the construction of stereotypes understood by Brunneli (2016) as major influences on social behavior and discourse, relating, from this perspective, and being able to explain actions and interactions that are studied by social psychology. Nevertheless, the studies of Cunha and Góes (2002), Xavier, Ribeiro and Noronha (1994) were used to understand how the formation of these stereotypes that were disseminated influenced the educational organization and cooperated to maintain the status quo, that is, inequality and its justifications. Also, to understand the new questions that arise about sexuality, it was necessary to analyze the studies of Louro (1997) and Oliveira e Santos (2012) to understand these new dynamics and perspectives that arise to think about a school concerned with the present, leaving aside your worries about yesterday. Therefore, it was perceived how these relations coexisted and fostered a social organization based on a purpose not only to justify hierarchical power relations, but also to maintain them using strategic sectors such as education and, consequently, the school.
Sequence Graphics to Impart Drawing Skills in an Upper Extremity Anatomy Course
Authors: Krishnan Sujatha , Narayanaswamy Janakiraman Priyadarshini , Srinivasan Viveka
Published: November 2021

Background: Sequence graphics could be used to address the lacunae of drawing skill development in medical undergraduates. Objectives: The present study aimed to use sequence graphics to evaluate medical undergraduates in terms of drawing moderately complex diagrams. Methods: This pilot study was conducted on six medical students, and four moderately complex diagrams were evaluated regarding the usefulness of sequence graphics. Core and accessory components were identified before asking the students to draw the diagram. In a conventional drawing exercise, the students were asked to draw four diagrams consecutively during the dissection hour. On the next day, videos of sequence graphics were projected on the screen, and the students were asked to draw the diagrams simultaneously. Results: While using the conventional drawing method, the students took significantly more time to complete the diagram, the outcomes were not uniform, and several missing core and accessory components were detected. Using sequence graphics, all the students traced the diagrams in tandem with the projected videos. The videos would be paused and replayed an average of six times each; the mean duration of the videos was 95 seconds. The students started and ended the drawing at the same time, and immediate feedback revealed that they all agreed that sequence graphics could impart better drawing skills, thereby leading to the ease of drawing the diagrams. Conclusions: According to the results, sequence graphics resulted in uniform, centered, labelled, large diagrams with defined core and accessory components drawn in lesser time compared to conventional drawing.
Virtual contact hypothesis: Preliminary evidence for intergroup contact hypothesis in interactions with characters in video games
Authors: Mulak Agnieszka , Winiewski Mikołaj Henryk
Published: November 2021

This paper examines intergroup contact hypothesis in interactions in video games to conceptualize how intergroup contact with characters in games may relate to attitudes toward minorities. Intergroup contact hypothesis states that intergroup contact leads to more positive attitudes and stereotype reduction. It also specifies situational factors that promote or hinder such an outcome. In an online survey a sample of 1627 gamers stated games they played the most and filled out a questionnaire measuring their attitudes toward minorities. Independent judges assessed games that were played by most participants (N = 44 games). A multilevel regression analysis revealed that average quality of contact with minorities in a game (measured at game-level, as a characteristic of a game) was associated with higher acceptance of minorities of the players (measured at individual level). Diversity of the game world generated by fictional races had no significant connection to attitudes. Game-level predictors largely increased fit to the data showing that game worlds were significant for the acceptance of minorities. The results supply preliminary evidence for the validity of the intergroup contact hypothesis for the interactions with characters in video games.

Web Archiving Local Election and Government Websites
Authors: Ezzo Julia , Busch Ed , Landaverde Elisa , Martin Jessica , Tang Lydia
Published: November 2021

Local election and political websites are highly ephemeral due to their nature, especially for losing candidates. Thus, they are highly vulnerable to loss from the historical record. A survey during Spring 2019 of previously captured web archives on the Archive.org website showed a scarcity of captured websites for local governmental and political elections in Michigan. The University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library currently captures websites related to the Governor, Michigan senators, and some congress members. However, less high-profile candidates were not being captured. As such, many websites from the 2018 midterm elections are vulnerable to loss. Furthermore, 2020 held a presidential election as well as many local elections, and with these campaigns, political websites hosting valuable candidate information were put up on the web for a limited time. Preserving content from these websites could be of great value for future researchers.
Supreme Court Confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett: A “Blatant Act of Bad Faith”?
Authors: Chang Connie , Freeman Josh
Published: November 2021

In the Senate proceedings on Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Senate Democrats (and at least two Republicans) claimed that a confirmation of Supreme Court Justice in a presidential election year would be a break with Senate tradition—a violation of the mythologized “Thurmond Rule.” Named for Senator Strom Thurmond, the scope of the rule and its origins are murky. The rule likely originated in Thurmond’s campaign against President Jimmy Carter’s judicial nominees of 1980, when Thurmond served as ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. This article discusses the Supreme Court confirmation process, Barrett’s background and nomination, the speed with which she was confirmed to the nation’s highest Court, and the conclusion of the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service on whether the Thurmond Rule truly exists. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer declared the Barrett confirmation a “blatant act of bad faith” by the Republican majority in the Senate, which in 2016 invoked the Thurmond Rule to defer Senate action on President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. As detailed by the Congressional Research Service, the Thurmond Rule has been invoked inconsistently by both parties at politically convenient times.
Wildfires and the Dissemination of Information in Oregon
Authors: Wardlow Bruce , Perez Alice
Published: November 2021

Wildfires have the reputation for being fast and unpredictable, government documents tend to be the opposite. So, what happens when the two meet? The 2020 Oregon wildfire season was one of the most destructive in the state’s history. We examined the 2020 Oregon wildfires and relief, specifically the Mount Hood fires and witnessed how the world of government publications responded. Wildfires are also very labor-intensive natural disasters to manage in a normal year, and 2020 was even worse. Due to labor constraints of the pandemic, the Oregon 2020 wildfire season was particularly bad. A wide array of federal government organizations quickly got involved, ranging from the IRS to the USDA, as well as state and local agencies. We also learned some specific senators and representatives were quick to respond, although the House and the Senate, as well as the president, were much slower to respond. This is the story of a collection of four distinct fires just outside of Portland, Oregon, that grew to become one large fire control effort, and the governmental responses to this natural disaster. The four wildfires in Oregon we will focus on are the Riverside Fire, Beachie Creek Fire, Lionshead Fire, and P515 Fire.

La crisis económica de 2008 en las Denominaciones de Origen Protegidas de vino españolas: efectos y modelos de salida
Authors: Climent López Eugenio , Esteban Rodríguez Samuel
Published: November 2021

El objetivo es valorar el impacto de la crisis económica reciente en las Denominaciones de Origen Protegidas del vino. Tratándose de un sector que elabora bienes no necesarios, se parte de la hipótesis de que la crisis ha producido caídas importantes en las ventas y que, dada su duración, ha podido tener un impacto negativo en el propio sistema productivo, es decir, en la superficie cultivada y en las bodegas. El estudio se lleva a cabo a dos escalas: la nacional, en la que se analizan las grandes cifras del sector, y la de denominación, en la que se trabaja con las cifras individuales de cada una de ellas. Se emplea una metodología cuantitativa, consistente en el análisis estadístico de las series de datos disponibles, acompañado de su representación cartográfica. A escala nacional se ha registrado un serio impacto de la crisis en la cifra de ventas, pero sólo ligeros ajustes en los factores productivos. A escala de denominación se han identificado las ganadoras y perdedoras y se ha constatado la existencia de dos modelos diferenciados de ajuste de los factores productivos ante la crisis.
Environmental Awareness in the Sun, Sea and Sand Tourism Sector. A Study with the Delphi Technique

The so-called sun, sea and sand tourism continues to be the type of tourism that fosters the greatest flow of passengers on an international scale, giving rise to an economic impact and job creation. However, like any other type of economic and human activity, it generates negative externalities that manifest themselves in environmental impacts. The One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme led by The World Tourism Organization announces its new vision for global tourism– growing better, stronger, and balancing the needs of people, planet and prosperity.Beyond good intentions, with the Delphi technique as a tool, a first approach has been made to elucidate the environmental awareness of the sector, the commitment to develop and incorporate sustainable plans to behave in an ethical manner and contribute to economic development while the quality of the environment and local communities as a whole. 14 professionals were selected to participate in the Delphi, all from different companies worldwide focused on geographical areas intended for sun, sea and sand tourism. Obtaining as a response, still, a sector with very weak awareness that does not incorporate the environment into its operational structures, it does not take responsibility for its own actions nor future sustainable developments.
Radiation Proctitis and Management Strategies
Authors: Dahiya Dushyant Singh , Kichloo Asim , Tuma Faiz , Albosta Michael , Wani Farah
Published: November 2021

Radiotherapy (RT) is a treatment modality that uses high-energy rays or radioactive agents to generate ionizing radiation against rapidly dividing cells. The main objective of using radiation in cancer therapy is to impair or halt the division of the tumor cells. Over the past few decades, advancements in technology, the introduction of newer methods of RT, and a better understanding of the pathophysiology of cancers have enabled physicians to deliver doses of radiation that match the exact dimensions of the tumor for greater efficacy, with minimal exposure of the surrounding tissues. However, RT has numerous complications, the most common being radiation proctitis (RP). It is characterized by damage to the rectal epithelium by secondary ionizing radiation. Based on the onset of signs and symptoms, post-radiotherapy RP can be classified as acute or chronic, each with varying levels of severity and complication rates. The treatment options available for RP are limited, with most of the data on treatment available from case reports or small studies. Here, we describe the types of RT used in modern-day medicine and radiation-mediated tissue injury. We have primarily focused on the classification, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, treatment strategies, complications, and prognosis of RP.
Talent and identity: a hermeneutic exploration of employee perspectives
Authors:   , Widauer Judith
Published: November 2021

This research is a reflexive hermeneutic study of the interplay between identity and inclusive talent management in smaller organizations. The in-depth research design uses the diary interview method to enable reflection and to explore employee perspectives. The work looks at how the respondents make sense of talent management, and what this implies for Human Resource and management practice. What do talent management meanings and identity mechanisms of employees reveal if we listen and take them into account? The research contributes to literature by exploring the under-examined area of talent management and identity. The research shows that the sense-making of talent and talent management is based on individual and extra-individual factors. On the one hand, personal values and the self inspire how people assign meaning to talent and talent management. The research introduces employees as meaning creators with an active role in talent management and presents implications for theory and practice. The work illustrates that self and social-identities are indeed interwoven with talent management. It introduces the concepts of talent self-identity and talent-identity which are related to the notion of talent status. Extra-individual factors on the other hand, which are talent discourses and actions, also shape individual talent meanings and start identity creation processes. Talent management enables individual agency and regulates identity. Through pointing out positive and negative employee reactions, the research adds to theory and practice regarding the “dark side” of talent management and psychological contracts in inclusive talent management. The study further shows how power, responsibility and rewards are interrelated with talent meanings and identity formation. The work contributes to practice by suggesting agency and structure on demand for the design of talent programs

Louis-Joseph Papineau’s Seigneurialism, Republicanism, and Jeffersonian Inclinations
Authors: Guimond Olivier
Published: November 2021

Historians have acknowledged that Louis-Joseph Papineau’s political ideas were closely related to Jeffersonian republicanism, but no extensive analysis of this relation has yet been provided. Papineau’s fundamental position on seigneurialism has often been reduced to a supposedly egoistic refusal to endorse the abolition of seigneurial property envisioned by Patriotes in 1838. As close readings of Papineau’s correspondence and speeches reveal, his seigneurialism may be understood in light of his admiration of Jefferson and long-term inclinations for Jeffersonian republicanism. The seigneurial regime, for Papineau, was consistent with what he perceived to be the egalitarian nature of New World societies, such as Lower Canada. It also acted as a system of “free” land distribution, which, in turn, favoured the settlement of independent and virtuous citizens on whom could rest a democratic republic. Moreover, Papineau viewed seigneurialism as a good way to prepare Canadians for integration into a continental American republican society by helping preserve the highly moral character of their nationalité. Papineau’s republican seigneurialism, far from representing a paradoxical stance, was a unique form of “local” republicanism deeply rooted in a French Canadian institution and a “universal” republican ideal.
ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF FRESH ASPHALT MIXTURE TEMPERATURE ON ASPHALT COMPARISON DURING INSTALLATION
Authors: Bašić Zahid , Džananović Amir , Tabaković Elmedin
Published: November 2021

When building new roads in BiH, reconstruction or rehabilitation of existing roads, construction or replacement of asphalt layers is a mandatory part of construction works. The lifespan of the entire pavement structure depends on the quality of the final asphalt layers of the pavement structure. One of the most significant characteristics of the asphalt mixture during installation is the temperature of the asphalt mixture. Legislation, ie technical conditions, define the minimum temperature of the asphalt mixture as well as the limit air temperature during the installation of asphalt, but special emphasis is given to the optimal temperature of the asphalt mixture. The optimal temperature of the asphalt mixture in this paper was analyzed through the compaction property of the asphalt mixture. Thus, working on several specific examples, observes the optimal temperature of the asphalt mixture so as to obtain the best possible compaction of the installed asphalt. During the research, a number of other data that are important for the research were measured, such as the number of roller crossings, the weight of the rollers, the air temperature, etc.

Deicing reagents have an impact on the environment. The composition of the deicing reagents used in Moscow has undergone certain changes. However, the main components of deicing reagents were chlorides, including calcium chloride and (or) sodium chloride. We also conducted research on the effects of sodium chloride and calcium chloride on some urban decorative plants. Soil salinization is a negative environmental impact in urban ecosystems. Deicing reagents affect both plants and the environment in general.
THE STRATEGY OF MANAGEMENT AND UTILIZATION OF MINERAL RAW MATERIALS IN THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA THROUGH THE GLOBALIZATION ERA
Authors: Malbašić Vladimir
Published: November 2021

The mineral resources of the Republic of Srpska enable the exploitation and processing of mineral raw materials in the metal, metal processing, construction, chemical industry, cement industry, ceramics and construction materials, etc. The largest part (over 90% in terms of value) are reproductive materials for processing in other industries and a smaller part are products that go directly to the market. In the conditions of increasing and faster technological development and with the tendency of increasing exploitation of natural resources in the world with changes of previous life conceptions, there was a need to analyze the sustainability of the mineral resources and natural resources use for further development of the Republic. The importance of a clearly defined Strategy for Management and Utilization of Mineral Resources and Raw Materials in the Globalization and Advanced Technologies Era is shown in the paper, which would enable planning and defining the goals of the use of mineral resources, clearer identification of the potential mineral resources, and basic starting data for creating the activities in order to more rational and economically efficient management of the natural resources in the Republic of Srpska. At the global level, it has become clear that geology is a very important geopolitical factor in the 21st century. Тhe importance of disposition аnd knowing where, how many and what types of mineral resources we have, can be achieved through to the several strategic activities. The development of the Strategy for the Management and Utilization of Mineral Resources of the Republic of Srpska, the “central interactive” database of mineral resources and the establishment of the Agency or the Directorate for Mineral Resources, are some of the proposals for these strategic activities.
DEVELOPMENT OF A METHODOLOGY FOR STABILITY MONITORING OF A DEFENSE EMBANKMENT LOADED WITH FREQUENT TRAFFIC: THE EXAMPLE OF THE KOVIN MINE

Published: November 2021

In the present paper, the authors develop a methodology for stability monitoring of the hydrotechnical-defensive embankment that is exposed to heavy frequent traffic. The proposed methodology envisages several phases of observation, work and monitoring: (1) macroscopic observations, (2) geophysical-geoelectric tests, (3) group of exploration works, (4) model formation, (5) establishment of a monitoring system, (6) acquisition data processing and modeling. Four of the six proposed phases are illustrated by the example of the left-bank Danube embankment used by the Kovin coal mine for the needs of coal truck haulage. The results of the performed research indicate that there are no deformations that endanger the defensive function of the embankment. In order to ensure safe coal truck haulage and preserve the function of the embankment, it is proposed to establish a system for geophysical, hydrogeological and geotechnical monitoring, to form a model for simulating the behavior of the embankment for different hydrometeorological conditions (consequently, for different consistency states and material compaction), and for different load conditions.

Savremeni menadžment se susreće sa izazovima preispitivanja ekonomske odgovornosti preduzeća i njenim usaglašavanjem sa društvenom odgovornošću. Borba korporacija za ostvarivanje konkurentne prednosti prisiljava kompanije da se takmiče sa nižim platama, oporezivanjem, sigurnosnim propisima i standardima zaštite životne sredine. Još postoje mnoga nedefinisana područja koja nisu obuhvaćena zakonima i propisima. Poslovni menadžeri se susreću sa nizom etičkih problema kao što su nepošteno oglašavanje, nepravedne konkurentske prakse, varanje klijenata, nepoštivanje zaposlenih, predrasude u zapošljavanju i sl. Povećana etička osjetljivost i povećanje globalne konkurencije stvaraju vrlo tešku situaciju u kompanijama u manje razvijenim zemljama, koje se sa jedne strane suočavaju sa problemom razvijanja strategija koje će im omogućiti konkurentnost na globalnom tržištu, a sa druge sa dodatnim troškovima izazvanim primjenom etičkih standarda. Ovim radom nastoji se utvrditi međuuslovljenost etičkog ponašanja, društvene odgovornosti, legislative i borbe za opstanak kompanija na globalnom tržištu. Pretpostavka je da se na duži rok isplati etičko poslovanje.
Distinct higher-order representations of natural sounds in human and ferret auditory cortex

Little is known about how neural representations of natural sounds differ across species. For example, speech and music play a unique role in human hearing, yet it is unclear how auditory representations of speech and music differ between humans and other animals. Using functional ultrasound imaging, we measured responses in ferrets to a set of natural and spectrotemporally matched synthetic sounds previously tested in humans. Ferrets showed similar lower-level frequency and modulation tuning to that observed in humans. But while humans showed substantially larger responses to natural vs. synthetic speech and music in non-primary regions, ferret responses to natural and synthetic sounds were closely matched throughout primary and non-primary auditory cortex, even when tested with ferret vocalizations. This finding reveals that auditory representations in humans and ferrets diverge sharply at late stages of cortical processing, potentially driven by higher-order processing demands in speech and music.

Udmurt spirits had a clear hierarchy, with each one of them functioning in their own specific field. The article investigates the spirits of domesticated space, including korkamurt, korkakuz’o, s’us’etka (lit: ‘man from/of the house, the master of the house, sus’etka’), bannik (‘bathhouse spirit’) / munchomurt, munchokuz’o (lit: ‘man from/of the bathhouse, master of the bathhouse’) and the master of the cowshed / gidmurt, gidkuz’o (lit: ‘man from/of the cowshed’).
A Systematic Investigation of Sacred Space in the Kama-Vyatka Region: Udmurt Materials

Published: November 2021

This article summarises the results of long-term studies of cult places and reconstructions of sacred space at the turn of the 20th century. The studies were carried out by the Udmurt Institute of History Language and Literature, Urals Department of the Russian Academy of Science. The article starts by reflecting on the meaning of the word ‘sacred’ in Russian and Udmurt. It then explains the main approaches and research methods used when looking at spaces that have become sacred as a result of a particular activity, for example through symbolical domestication and transformation of the environment; or because of the natural, social, cultural and spiritual milieu; or as a particular creative transformation of the hierotopy, including hierophany as the presence of a divine (or mystical) component. In reconstructing the traditional sacred space of the Udmurt, we used systematic, and structural/semiotic methods. The first sees sacred space as a complicated natural, historical and cultural, religious and mythological set, while the second reveals the semantics of these cultural places, objects and rituals. We pay particular attention to the study of structure, of the main indicators and the semantics of the Udmurt traditional space at the turn of the 20th century. We have followed the means of organising sacred landscapes, which assumed the existence of networks of shrines and cult objects, a systematic organisation of ceremonies and rituals at each of them, and the holding of family and calendar rituals. We have revealed circles (levels) of sacredness (family, patronymic, conditional clan, village, regional, tribal and territorial), showing how the mythological opposition between sacred and profane is relative within each local area, existing implicitly within the limits of a wider area of sacredness. We have briefly characterised how extensive study has been of the different types of religious landscape, and the present state of the art.
