Published: February 2020

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é analisar como se dá o recrutamento de jovens pelos partidos políticos brasileiros na atualidade. O estudo avalia as motivações dos jovens para a filiação e a autopercepção deles sobre as legendas às quais são filiados, tendo como eixo de análise as seguintes questões: (a) o que motiva um jovem a se filiar a um partido político no atual contexto brasileiro? (b) como se dá a filiação? (c) que fatores mais contribuem para a adesão dos jovens às agremiações partidárias? (d) quais são as percepções dos jovens sobre esse processo? Em termos específicos são testadas algumas hipóteses utilizando o qui-quadrado. As conclusões mostram que o capital familiar e o capital militantes são os dois fatores que mais influenciam os jovens a se filiarem aos partidos. No primeiro caso os parentes mais próximos são os que exercem maior influência (pais e irmãos). No segundo caso destaca-se a militância nos movimentos estudantis e nos movimentos sociais.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to assess the manner in which the presence of green soybean seeds affects their physiological quality. In this study, six lots of soybean seeds of cultivar 5958RSF IPRO with 0, 0, 7, 8, 16 and 18% of green seeds were examined. The tests done included the first germination count, germination, electrical conductivity, field emergence, accelerated aging, emergence speed index, Tetrazolium, length, dry mass and seedling growth curve. Results were tested employing the normality test and analysis of variance, and the means were compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability level, employing the Rbio statistical program. Growth data were analyzed by the nonlinear regression analytical method, using the SigmaPlot 12.0 software. The viability and vigor of the greenish seeds were confirmed to reveal higher deterioration, proportional to the percentage of seeds in which the cotyledons had green pigmentation, indicating that the presence of chlorophyll caused the physiological quality of the soybean seeds to decrease.

Abstract Introduction Flow and filling ability of root canal sealers are indispensable for hermetic sealing of the root canal. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) can be used as a complementary methodology to evaluate such properties. Objective To evaluate the flow and filling ability of AH Plus, Endofill and Sealapex by conventional methodology and micro-CT. Material and method The flow of the sealers was analyzed according to ISO 6876/2012 and complemented by the area evaluation. Glass plates were manufactured with diameters of 1×1×2 mm and 1×1×1 mm (length, width and height), with a central cavity and four grooves in the horizontal and vertical directions. Each material was placed in the central cavity. Another glass plate and a metal weight were placed on the cement and kept for 10 minutes. The glass plate/sealer set was scanned using micro-CT. The flow was calculated by linear measurement of the material in the grooves. The central filling (mm3) was calculated in the central cavity and the lateral filling was measured up to 2 mm from the central cavity. Data were submitted to ANOVA/Tukey tests (α=0.05). Result All evaluated sealers presented flow according to ISO 6876 standards. The materials showed central cavity filling capacity higher than 80% and lateral filling greater than 75%. There was no difference in flow (mm and mm2) and in the filling ability (mm3) provided by the materials (p>0.05). Conclusion All evaluated root canal sealers showed adequate flow and filling capacity, suggesting their clinical application.
Imaginarios sexuales y des/atención médica: La ginecología como dispositivo de hetero-cis-normalización
Authors: Cano Virginia
Published: February 2020

Resumen El presente artículo se propone, siguiendo el método genealógico foucaultiano, analizar la eficacia productiva y la violencia normativa que constituye a la ginecología en una tecnología de hetero-cis-normalización que produce una distribución diferencial de la precaridad, afectando principalmente a corporalidades y modos de vida lesbianos (cis y trans), transmasculinos, no-binarixs, bi y pansexuales. Para desarrollar estas tesis recuperaré, en primer lugar, los desarrollos butlerianos en torno a la heterosexualidad obligatoria, las normas sexo-generizadas y la vulnerabilidad, para pensar, desde allí, a la ginecología como una técnica de precarización. En segundo lugar, y recuperando las tesis de Rohden, Cabral y Preciado, desarrollaré el modo en que la ginecología opera como una “prótesis de género” que organiza y disciplina cuerpos a partir de un sistema binario. Para concluir, sostendré siguiendo a Foucault que esto implica una especie de extraña “paradoja” para la ginecología, en la medida en que la imposición de su matriz hetero-cis-normativa redunda en una inducida, y sistemática, desatención y descuido de la salud ginecológica de las personas LGTB.
Heteronormatividad escolar en México: Reflexiones acerca de la vigilancia y castigo de la homosexualidad en la escuela
Authors: Rojas Enrique Bautista
Published: February 2020

Resumen Este artículo presenta una discusión teórica que explora el problema de violencia escolar en México por razones de orientación, identidad o expresión sexual. Los argumentos retoman categorías derivadas de los estudios de género y de la diversidad sexual, aplicados a la comprensión de la situación de estudiantes homosexuales en la escuela. En suma, el análisis concibe a ésta última como una institución que enseña, disciplina y norma la construcción de estudiantes conforme a lineamientos de la heteronormatividad, mediante diversos métodos pedagógicos, para vigilar su cumplimiento. La reflexión enfatiza en la necesidad de transformar las prácticas educativas tradicionales, que reproducen y avalan la violencia a homosexuales, para buscar la construcción de una sociedad equitativa y respetuosa de los derechos humanos.

Educação dos Sentidos no Tempo Livre: o olhar como entretenimento
Authors: Werle Verônica , Vaz Alexandre Fernandez
Published: February 2020

Resumo: No contemporâneo, estamos cada vez mais subordinados aos excessos de estímulos que acarretam na (en)formação dos nossos sentidos, inclusive no tempo livre. Neste texto, perguntamos sobre a produção do olhar e seu papel no contexto do turismo. A partir do acompanhamento de 4 excursões realizadas na Região Sul do Brasil e de 15 entrevistas, observamos que as imagens prévias e a orientação constante do olhar do turista determinam uma experiência desprovida de perceptibilidade, exigindo o registro fotográfico como recurso para a memória. Concluímos que os estímulos à visão e o ato de olhar constituem-se em entretenimento, ao que decorre o fortalecimento do processo de alienação sensorial.

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar e comparar os efeitos imediatos da técnica de oscilação oral de alta frequência sonorizada (OOAFS) e sopro sonorizado com tubo de ressonância na autopercepção de sintomas vocais/laríngeos e na qualidade vocal de idosas. Método Participaram 14 mulheres idosas que realizaram as técnicas OOAFS e sopro sonorizado com tubo de ressonância de silicone, com wash-out de uma semana. Todas responderam questões sobre frequência e intensidade dos sintomas vocais/laríngeos; foram submetidas à gravação da vogal sustentada /a/ e contagem de números, para análise perceptivo-auditiva e acústica vocal. Foram extraídos os tempos máximos de fonação (TMF). Em seguida, sorteou-se a técnica a ser realizada: OOAFS ou tubo de ressonância, por três minutos em tom habitual. Após exercício, os mesmos procedimentos da avaliação inicial foram repetidos e as idosas responderam a um questionário de autoavaliação sobre os efeitos das técnicas. Os dados foram comparados antes e após aplicação das técnicas por meio dos testes ANOVA, Wilcoxon e Mann-Whitney; para as sensações vocais após técnicas, aplicou-se teste Quiquadrado(p<0,05). Resultados Ao comparar as técnicas, verificou-se diminuição da rugosidade e melhora da ressonância na contagem dos números após tubo de ressonância e manutenção dos resultados após OOAFS. Não houve mais diferenças significantes para as demais variáveis estudadas entre os grupos. Conclusão O sopro sonorizado com tubo de ressonância melhora a qualidade vocal de mulheres idosas. Além disso, ambos os exercícios apresentaram semelhanças na autopercepção dos sintomas vocais/laríngeos e sensações, sugerindo que a OOAFS é segura e pode ser empregada na terapia de voz nesta população.

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT Among the water quality parameters subjected to changes in river flow variations, salinity stands out for being intrinsically associated to ecosystem quality. Nonetheless, salinization can cause irreversible damage to the structure and functions of aquatic communities. This work evaluated the effect of successive reductions of outflow discharges from Xingó dam in water salinity in the lower stretch of the São Francisco River, Brazil. Salinity was analysed downstream of the dam, in addition to the relation between discharge reductions and salinity levels, as well as the spatial evolution of salinity in function of the distance of the sampling points from the river mouth. Secondary water quality data from 17 monitoring points were analysed, moreover, field samples and laboratory analyses were performed. With the reductions of outflow discharges, that started in 2013, there was a considerable increase in salinity in the sampling point located 9 km far from the river mouth, and with the continuation of discharge reductions, points that are farther away from the river mouth also presented high salinity values, both in the bottom and on the surface. This study indicates salinity values above the limits of fresh water (0.5 ‰), established by the CONAMA Resolution 357, for human consumption.
La Neurología Infantil en su proyección profiláctico-social: Pediatría, Higiene Mental y Psicología en la Argentina (1934-1940)
Authors: Briolotti Ana S.
Published: February 2020

Se analiza la propuesta de Aquiles Gareiso y Florencio Escardó en torno a la integración de la Neurología a la Pediatría. En momentos en los que la mayoría de los médicos concebían a la Neurología como una disciplina centrada en el diagnóstico, la propuesta de Gareiso y Escardó dialogaba con la Medicina Social, la Eugenesia y la Higiene Mental para proponer un enfoque dinámico, con potencialidades preventivas. Basada en el principio del paralelismo neuropsíquico, la Neuropediatría brindaba herramientas semiológicas para un diagnóstico temprano, hecho que excluía en principio los aportes de la Psicología. Posteriormente, dicho principio sería revisado a la luz de sus límites en la evaluación de niños a partir de los dos años de edad. Entre otros elementos, este hecho habría posibilitado una mayor apertura del campo pediátrico argentino a las técnicas de evaluación psicológica.
EFFECTS OF SYNBIOTIC SUPPLEMENTATION ON GUT FUNCTIONING AND SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATION OF COMMUNITY-DWELLING ELDERS - SECONDARY ANALYSES FROM A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Aging is a complex process marked by alterations on gut functioning and physiology, accompanied by an increase on the inflammatory status, leading to a scenario called “inflammaging”. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of a synbiotic substance on systemic inflammation, gut functioning of community-dwelling elders. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis from a randomized clinical trial, lasting 24 weeks, including 49 elders, distributed into two groups: SYN (n=25), which received a synbiotic substance (Frutooligossacaride 6g, Lactobacillus paracasei LPC-31 109 to 108 UFC, Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 109 to 108 UFC, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM 109 to 108 UFC e Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 109 to 108 UFC), or PLA (n=24), receiving placebo. The evaluations consisted of serum IL-10 e TNF-α (after overnight fasting), evaluation of chronic constipation (by Rome III Criteria) and faeces types (by Bristol Stool Form Scale). Data were compared before and after the supplementation time, and between groups. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between baseline and final values of serum inflammatory markers. Some subtle beneficial changes were observed in SYN, concerning both gut functioning and faeces types. CONCLUSION: From our data, synbiotic supplementation showed a subtle benefit in gut functioning in apparently healthy community-dwelling elders. Our findings can suggest that the benefits in healthy individuals were less expressive than the ones presented in studies with individuals previously diagnosed as dysbiosis. Future studies, comparing elders with and without gut dysbiosis can confirm our findings.

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT: Dry land plants owing to their capability to grow under stressful environment have shown higher allelopathic potential as compared to cultivated plants. An experiment was conducted to investigate the herbicidal potential of aqueous extracts of four dry land plants viz. fruit and vine of Citrullus colocynthis, and above ground parts of Rhazya stricta; Crotalaria burhia and Calligonum polygonoides, with four concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100%) of initially prepared extracts against Lathyrus aphaca, a common weed of wheat in the studied region. These plants were collected from dry land area (30.03° N and 70.38° E, 129 m above sea level, almost desert conditions) of Dera Ghazi Khan, Punjab, Pakistan. All the four plants exhibited pronounced herbicidal potential with 9 to 91% suppression of different parameters in L. aphaca). Maximum inhibition was recorded in germination (36-91%). Significant suppression in leaf count (9-65%), shoot length (12-59%), root length (4-62%), shoot fresh weight (17-71%), root fresh weight (10-60%), shoot dry weight (15-72%), root dry weight (13-64%), and nodule numbers (34-89%) was also observed. The highest inhibition was exhibited by R. stricta followed by C. colocynthis: fruit. However, in case of nodulation maximum suppression was produced by C. burhia extract. Least suppressant activity was observed for the C. polygonides extract. These results encourage the potential use of locally available dry land plants possessing strong allelochemical properties for nonchemical control of weeds ultimately reducing reliance on chemical control.

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT: Seed longevity under different environmental conditions is considered as one of the most important factors in the spread and persistence of an exotic species. The Experiments were conducted to determine seed persistence in soil, effects of submergence in water, flooding of the soil, and high temperatures on germination and viability of spotted spurge (Chamaesyce maculata) and wild poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla) as two exotic species in different regions of Golestan province. Spotted spurge seeds buried at depth of 10 cm maintained their viability above 95% after a year, while wild poinsettia seeds were destroyed completely after exhuming the soil. Seeds of both species were unable to germinate under submergence, but 92% of the spotted spurge seeds remained viable under this condition for 14 d. No germination was observed after 9 weeks submersion. Submersion duration drastically affected seed germination of wild poinsettia, so that no germination occurred after 6 d submersion. Twelve days after flooding, spotted spurge emergence decreased by 57% compared to the control. Ten percentage of wild poinsettia seedlings emerged when flooding was kept up to 12 d after sowing, while control had 96% emergence. Germination of spotted spurge seeds subjected to 140 oC for 5 min was 5%. Viability of wild poinsettia seed was completely lost at 120 and 140 C for 5 min. These results suggest that spotted spurge is capable of forming persistent seedbank. Seeds of spotted spurge were partially tolerant to submersion in water, but wild poinsettia seed are susceptible to submergence. The burning of crop residue could also prevent augmenting the soil seed bank of both species.

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT: The present study was carried out to check the antifungal potential of Sisymbrium irio L. shoot extract against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae (FOC). In preliminary bioassays, different concentrations (1 to 5%) of leaf, stem and fruit extracts were evaluated against FOC. All the extracts were effective against the pathogen. However, the leaf extract was found the most effective causing 25-41% decrease in FOC biomass. The fractionation of methanolic leaf extract was done by two organic solvents namely n-hexane and chloroform. Different concentrations (1.56 to 200 mg mL-1) of these fractions were tested against FOC. The n-hexane and chloroform fractions showed inhibitory activity against the pathogen and resulted in 77-93% and 80-96% reduction in biomass of FOC, respectively. GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 24 compounds in n-hexane and 4 compounds in chloroform fraction. In n-hexane fraction, β-sitosterol (18.64%) was the most abundant compound followed by orotic acid, bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-, tert-butyldimethylsilyl ester (12.18%), 10-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester (7.90%) and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, diisooctyl ester (6.05%). Major compounds identified in chloroform fraction were 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester (50.82%) and di-n-octyl phthalate (33.00%). This study concludes that n-hexane and chloroform fractions of methanolic leaf extract of S. irio contain potent antifungal constituents for the management of FOC.

Abstract Currently, there are 21 species of Angiostrongylus that parasitize the pulmonary or mesenteric arteries of wild and domestic rodents, felids, canids and human. Species of Angiostrongylus have cosmopolitan distribution covering tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. The procyonid Nasua nasua (coati) is a reservoir host for a wide variety of parasites that may be harmful to its populations or may contain etiological agents with zoonotic potential. In urban areas, coatis are usually found in close association with humans and domestic animals. We morphologically and molecularly characterized a new species of Angiostrongylus found in N. nasua in a protected area within Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The new species of Angiostrongylus differs from other species of the same genus in terms of the length and bifurcation level of the lateral and ventral rays, the length of spicules and female tail morphology. Molecular phylogenetic results based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene suggest that the newly identified species belongs to a genetic lineage that is separate from other species of Angiostrongylus. This new species was collected from the mesenteric arteries of N. nasua. It was named Angiostrongylus minasensis n. sp..

Abstract The aim of the present study was to detect Cercopithifilaria bainae and other tick-borne pathogens and to perform molecular characterization of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. collected from dogs. Ticks (n = 432, including 8 larvae, 59 nymphs, and 365 adults) were sampled from domiciled dogs (n = 73) living in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul (Midwest Brazil). All ticks were morphologically identified as R. sanguineus. Genomic DNA was extracted in pools (three to five ticks per animal) and was used for definition of R. sanguineus haplotypes (based on 16S rRNA analysis) and pathogen identification (Cercopithifilaria sp., Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma platys, Hepatozoon canis, Babesia vogeli and Rickettsia spp.). Rhipicephal us sanguineus specimens were identified as haplotypes A and B. DNA of Cercopithifilaria bainae (43.83%; 32/73), Ehrlichia canis (24.65%; 18/73), Anaplasma platys (19.17%; 14/73), and Hepatozoon canis (5.47%; 4/73) was detected. The identity of pathogens was confirmed by DNA sequence analysis. The present study confirms the presence of haplotypes A and B of R. sanguineus in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and its importance as a vector of several pathogens of veterinary concern. Finally, this is the first report to identify C. bainae in ticks in the Midwestern region of Brazil.

Published: February 2020

Abstract: Aim In this paper we present a scientometric analysis aimed at to assess and quantify the contribution of Le Cren’s condition factor and the main ideas advanced by ‘Le Cren, 1951’ to studies on the health of individuals or populations in aquatic environments. Specifically, we addressed the following questions: (i) what are the temporal and spatial citation trends of ‘Le Cren, 1951’?; (ii) Which journals cited ‘Le Cren, 1951’ most frequently?; (iii) In which types of aquatic environments and organisms have Le Cren’s condition factor been most commonly applied?; (iv) Which of the main applications addressed in ‘Le Cren, 1951’ have been most frequently used by fisheries scientists?; (v) Which of the methods (i.e., Quételet’s index or body mass index, Fulton’s condition factor, Le Cren’s condition factor, relative weight, residual index and scaled mass index) used to estimate condition factor identified in the papers that cited ‘Le Cren, 1951’ have been most frequently used? In addition, the main criticisms of the use of the relative condition factor are discussed. Methods We carried out a scientometric analysis on the papers published from 1951 to December 2015 that cited Le Cren’s article. The papers were obtained from the Thomson Reuters database (ISI Web of Knowledge, apps.isiknowledge.com) in May 2016. Results In total, 1128 papers were assessed. The number of citations increased significantly over time. Most citations occurred in two journals (Journal of Fish Biology and Journal of Applied Ichthyology). Most of papers were carried out in marine environments. In addition, we show that Le Cren's paper has been cited mainly in articles that estimate the condition factor or the weight-length relationship of populations. Finally, we emphasize that the relative condition factor proposed by Le Cren in 1951 is still the main method used to estimate the body condition of an individual or population. Conclusions Le Cren's significant contribution to animal well-being is undeniable, and we emphasize that among the methods identified in the papers that cited ‘Le Cren, 1951’ that estimated body condition, the relative condition factor proposed by Le Cren in 1951 is still the most commonly used method.
Application of multivariate methods and geoestatistics to model the relationship between CO2 emissions and physicochemical variables in the Hidrosogamoso reservoir, Colombia

Published: February 2020

Abstract: Aim This article deals with the estimation of a model for CO2 emissions in the Hidrosogamoso reservoir based on the organic matter level and water quality. This is in order to determine the impact of the creation of a tropical reservoir on the generation of greenhouse gases (GHG), and to establish the water quality and emissions dynamics. We hypothesize that the spatial variability of emissions is determined by water quality and carbon cycling in water. Methods Multivariate techniques were applied to determine the relationships between CO2 and certain physicochemical variables measured in the reservoir between February and May 2015, taking samples in 10 stations and measuring 14 variables (water quality parameters and CO2). Factor, cluster, discriminant and regression analysis, as well as the geostatistical technique kriging, were used. Results We observed that all variables except dissolved organic carbon have strong linear relationships. Nitrate, total-P, total solids and total suspended solids are related due to the presence of nutrients in the water; chlorophyll a and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon due to organic carbon; and alkalinity and dissolved solids due to dissolved minerals. The sampling stations can be classified into two homogeneous groups. The first consists of the stations peripheral to the reservoir and the second of stations inside the reservoir. This difference is due mainly to the behavior of chlorophyll a and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon, and these two variables are also the best predictors for CO2, with a maximum adjustment of 70%. Conclusions Our main conclusion is that the production of CO2 is due to decomposition of flooded organic carbon, depends on the soils flooded and the tributary water quality, and that the production of this gas will, based on the literature, continue for 5 to 10 years depending on the nature of the forest flooded.

Authors: Yusuf Zahraddeen Hassan
Published: February 2020

Abstract: Aim Phytoplankton monitoring as bioindicators to assess the health of the Nasarawa reservoir and also to evaluate the relationship between phytoplankton and reservoir environmental variables. Methods Phytoplankton and water samples from Nasarawa reservoir (Nigeria) were collected and analysed for ten months (February, 2018 to November, 2018) using standard methods at five sampling sites. Results A total of 38 genera belonging to five major families such as: Bacillariophyceae (42%), Chlorophyceae (24%) Cyanophyceae (13%), Deemidiaceae (18%) and Euglenophyceae (3%) were recorded. Four Phytoplankton classes; Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta Cyanophyta, and Desmidiaceae show positive close relation with dissolved oxygen, pH, transparency, and total dissolved solids. The overall phytoplankton density in the reservoir was higher in dry season than the wet season. Palmer pollution index was employed to study the water quality of the reservoir. The total score was calculated to be 25, showing evidence of high organic pollution. Conclusions The presence of organic pollution indicators Closterium sp, Navicula sp, Nitzschia sp, Synedra sp, Chlamydomonas sp, Cyclotella sp and Anacystis sp is a warning sign of the deteriorating condition of the water quality in the reservoir. Measures need to be enforced to reduce the rate of pollution of the reservoir arising from the human activities in the catchment of the reservoir.

A study was carried out into extending the use of the mixed discrete–continuum approach for advanced numerical analysis of masonry retaining walls. This included incorporation of soil plasticity, irregular wall morphology and application to a real-life scenario to identify the causes of observed damage patterns. Backfill soil was simulated by way of a deformable continuous medium, while masonry units were represented as polyhedral rigid blocks interacting with each other. Upon validation, the approach was used to simulate the behaviour of an historical masonry retaining wall suffering from severe cracks, large deflections and partial collapse due to material degradation and differential soil settlement. To understand the progressive response of the structure better, a parametric analysis was performed on the tensile strength of masonry when the system was subjected to differential settlement. Further static analyses were performed to assess the capacity of the wall under uniform surcharge pressure. The results demonstrated the sensitivity of the macro behaviour of the wall to the tension capacity of masonry. The study also showed that the proposed modelling approach can provide useful performance information on existing retaining walls that are vulnerable, and that such validated numerical models should be used to determine any interventions and repairs.
Cultural Memory of Russia and China in Mental Landscape of Mass Media
Authors: Erofeeva Irina , Muravyov Alexey
Published: February 2020

The article presents a linguoculturological analysis of key concepts of national vision in the Russian and Chinese mass media. It offers substantiation of a conceptual view of the world objectified in a media discourse. The concepts, as cognitive-linguistic structures, are supported by the background knowledge of the addressee and the addresser, involve the meanings of the proto-text, stimulate an adequate interpretation of the media text and ensure the effectiveness of its impact on the cognitive, emotional and behavioral levels of consumer’s perception. The space of such a media text forms a mental landscape, which is a set of values that reflect the spectrum of people’s life on a certain territory and that are broadcast over time in the paradigm of «past – present – future». Based on research in the field of cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics, journalism, social philosophy, it is argued that the new media technologies, textual and formatted ones are controlled by a collective cultural memory. The empirical base of the study was more than 500 texts of Russian and Chinese mass media. The cultural landscape of the media discourse is represented by texts in which the nuclear concepts of the national view of the world in Russia and China are embedded: collectivism (collegiality), patriotism. The article describes the features of these concepts’ representation in conjunction with the process of objectification of the dominant cultural values of China and Russia. An intensive representation of the concepts in mass media provides necessary national identification in Russian and Chinese societies, allows to implement the cultural hereditary function of the media and to protect the primordial traditions of the society, to transmit the ideals and cultural heritage of the previous generations.

Published: February 2020

The present study will explore the current status of normative studies using images of common-nouns concepts (in short, common-items) in adult samples, considering their relevance as a tool for research and interventional purposes at the neurocognitive, linguistic and emotional field. Our main goals are to identify the main existing normative databases using common-items images obtained with adult populations and their related images dataset. Moreover, we intend to characterize the subjective dimensions reported, as well as to examine the stimuli and sample characteristics, the specific procedures and the cultural comparisons provided. The applicability of the normative studies will also be explored by qualitative inspection of the availability of the databases and the number of citations of each normative study. Taken together, these data may provide a guideline for conducting and electing standardized image datasets for experimental and application contexts.

Ethic-legal ideas in Kyiv-Mohyla academy in the 18th century
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Semykras V.V.
Published: February 2020

The ethics in the lecture courses of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy was divided into theoretical and practical parts. The former dealt with the substantiation of a person's place in the world, considered problems of the meaning of life, free will, a degree of a person's responsibility for their actions. The latter pointed to ways and means to determine a destiny, achieve happiness, and developed education system according to the perception of a perfect person. Theophan Prokopovych, professor and rector of the Academy, considered a necessary condition for happiness to obtain a certain level of material well-being since poverty and deprivation are not compatible with happiness. He linked the achievements of this with conscientious work, which he considered to be a duty towards himself, his family, society, and the state. He recognized the benefit as the basis of work along with usefulness, which he considered to be close to virtue in terms of significance, thus giving her a positive moral evaluation. Achievement of happiness, according to Theophan Prokopovych, is possible if a person сomply with natural, moral, civil and God's laws. Natural law makes a person realize the need for work and determines they inclination to a certain kind of it. However, a person must understand what kind of work they are inclined to; this requires the study of their bodily and spiritual needs, that is, self-knowledge. Having known themselves and having discovered the ability for a certain type of labour in themselves, a person works for themselves, their family, society, state. Thus a person obeys moral and civil laws. Introduction to the philosophical course of the section of ethics, though not obligatory for all professors, was at that time necessitated by the desire to rethink the system of human relations in the new historical conditions of Ukraine of the first half of the eighteenth century. human. Ethics becomes an important tool for educating a new person, forming a free personality. Professors do not simply comment and promote moral standards accepted in Christian culture, but seek to study and analyze the authoritative ethical teachings of ancient and European thinkers, trying to give practical guidance on improving man and the moral regulation of society in his time. This tendency was significantly developed and improved by the student of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Grigory Skovoroda.
Tenderness as an attribute of the romantic culture of love: specificity and features of manifestation
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, V. E. Turenko V. E.
Published: February 2020

Based on classical and modern philosophical works, the article conceptualizes the idea of tenderness as one of the key attributes of the dis- course of a romantic culture of love. The author notes that the idea of a close relationship of love and tenderness dates back to antiquity, namely the Platonic "Symposium". By analyzing in detail a fragment of this dialogue [Symp. 195d-e], the statement is substantiated that, manifesting itself as an attribute of love, tenderness has a powerful epistemological potential, which is expressed in the possibility of knowing the Other more deeply. Distinguishing between the verbal and non-verbal aspects of the manifestation of tenderness in a romantic culture of love, their general and distinctive features are highlighted. If the verbal aspect is not just words, epithets or metaphors, but acts as elements of power, then non-verbal manifestations of tenderness are defined as a kind of "words", "speech" to the Other. Revealing in detail the phenomenology of tenderness, it is proved that it has interior and exterior vectors, therefore there is a need not only to give tenderness, but also to accept from the person we love. Conclusions of the article. Being an attribute of a romantic culture of love, tenderness is the basis of its versatility in human destinies. Tenderness as one of the components of love, helps two loving people to know each other even more, especially regarding the vulnerability of participants in the discourse of love. Tenderness in the context of the discourse of the romantic culture of love is manifested in two aspects – verbal (gentle and affectionate words, epithets, metaphors) and non-verbal (kisses, hugs, touches). These two aspects of tenderness, being specific in manifestation, do not essentially contradict each other, but, on the contrary, complement each other, thus making a complete and true discourse of love. From a phenomenological point of view, tenderness, like love, is two-vector: it goes from I to You (Other) and from You (Other) to I. So, tenderness always involves reciprocity.
