Post-War Czechoslovakia in the Reflection of the United States’ Ambassador Laurence A. Steinhardt
Authors: Zorin Artem
Published: July 2024

After the World War II, a tense struggle took place in Czechoslovakia between democratic and communist political forces. It ended with the Communists’ victory in February 1948. The article is devoted to the perception of these process by the US Ambassador in Prague, L. Steinhardt. Exploring his letters, messages and speeches, the author analyzes Steinhardt’s views and political stereotypes, attitude to the Czechoslovak communists and their opponents, to their tactics. He also pays attention to ambassador’s perception of the February crisis of 1948 and its results, his characteristics of Czechoslovak leading political figures. The article is based on the US State Department documents and Steinhardt’s personal archive. The archive’s materials demonstrate that Steingardt perceived the Communists rise to power in Czechoslovakia as a major defeat, a defeat in the battle for democracy, a loss of this country for the West. Unable to predict the imminent onset of such outcome, he preferred to blame the Czechoslovak population’s indecisiveness and the Washington ineffective Foreign Policy for such event. The article substantiates that such perception, which did not allow alternatives and compromises, was typical for representatives of the US diplomatic and political circles in the second half of the 1940s and contributed to the escalation of the Cold War.
Discursive Postcolonial Reflections of Reunification in Selected Contemporary Anglophone Cameroonian History Textbooks, 1961—2021
Authors: Fru Raymond Nkwenti
Published: July 2024

The Anglo-French partition of German Cameroon in 1961 and the eventual reunification in 1961 of British Southern Cameroons with French Cameroon are responsible for the significant presence of Anglo-French heritage in contemporary Cameroon. Since its reunification, the country has witnessed several internal tensions mainly informed by developments around reunification and the colonial legacies. This article adopts a critical content analysis approach, nuanced with a discursive postcolonial theoretical framework to analyze two history textbooks from the English subsystem of education in Cameroon. In addition to the textbooks presenting history as a memory and uncritical discipline, the findings also reveal the presence of a robust Anglophone nationalism discourse rather than a Cameroonian one in the selected history textbooks under review. Furthermore, the author argues that the colonial heritage enshrined in the federal constitution is being systematically erased, indicating the assimilation of a weaker culture by a stronger one. There is a deep sense in the English-speaking community, both public and private, that the form of the state must be changed. Discourses of disempowered subaltern representation are emerging in relation to postcolonialism, which is also linked to internal colonisation.
The Development of Institutions for the Recognition of Missing Persons and the Declaration of Deceased Persons Missing in Circumstances Threatening Death: the Experience of Historical and Comparative Legal Research
Authors: Kozlova Nataliya
Published: July 2024

The aim of the study is to identify the main phases of the evolution of legislation on the recognition of missing persons and the declaration of persons dead, missing under circumstances threatening death. The authors indicate the problems that could arise in connection with the use of these institutions in the situation of mass disappearance of people in the current conditions. The authors proposed to use the historical experience of the wars of the past centuries and the legal regulation that existed during these periods to fill in the legal uncertainty of the status of servicemen missing in connection with military operations. Research methods: dogmatic, which was used to identify the content of legislation; historical, which is used to study the law in its dynamics; comparative, which is used to compare laws regulating relations in various legal systems. The hypothesis of the study was that on the basis of historical research, it is possible to identify the key legal risks of an unknown absence, to use historical experience for the current situation in order to avoid mistakes in legislation and the enforcement of law. The scientific result is the conclusion that it is necessary to limit the use of the institution of declaring dead citizens, since it does not allow solving problems related to the legal uncertainty of the status of a person, contradicts the natural human right to be recognized as alive. To manage the property of military personnel and other persons in circumstances threatening death, the authors propose to limit the use of powers of attorney and recommend using the institution of trust.
Buıldıng Future Through Hıstory Teaching
Authors: Yeniay Üsküplü Zeynep Duygu
Published: July 2024

History education is directly related to sense of belonging and aims to shape the future. Today there has been two different perspectives requiring two different types of citizens in history teaching: Global citizenship and national identity. In Turkey, historiography includes some fluctuations depending on the tendencies of governments. In transition from Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Turkey, Kemalist Revolution refuted the Eurocentric view of history and wrote an official history that aims to rebuild the national consciousness. However, after World War II, western integration has began and in the frame of Fulbright Agreement, advisors from the USA gained strength in Turkish Education System. In 1990s, Turkey's full harmonization process with the EU has started and the Turkish nation has been directed to the goal of being European. With the influence of the advisors from the USA and EU agreements, the rejection of official history, alternative history, confronting history, the right not to claim history, multi-identity multiculturalism, global citizenship are imposed, and the Turkish nation is tried to be de-identified. After the coup-attempt in 2016, Turkey entered the process of breaking away from the West and started to turn its face to Eurasia and nowadays has been trying to achieve balance politics. Globalization policies and Westernism are still mainstream approaches in textbooks and curricula. Eurocentrism constitute the dominant understanding of history in history textbooks. On the other hand, Ataturk's principles and reforms, patriotism, national unity and solidarity, independency gain importance both at the level of discourse and action in Turkish Education System. In the light of these developments, the need of Turkey in terms of history teaching is that the developments in Eurasia, the events and approaches that reveal them, are included in the curriculum and textbooks.
Economic Convergence of the FRG and the USSR Early 1970s: the GDR Factor
Authors: Yablokov Boris
Published: July 2024

The Moscow Treaty concluded by the USSR and the FRG on August 12, 1970, actually served as a prologue to the signing of the Treaty on the Foundations of Relations and international legal recognition of the two German states between the GDR and the FRG on December 21, 1972. At the same time, the USSR's diplomatic breakthrough in 1970 became possible primarily due to the expansion of trade and economic cooperation with the FRG in the previous decade, anticipating the transition in the conditions of Willy Brandt's “new eastern policy” to the “detente economy”. In the article, based on the material of domestic archives, an idea is given about the special nature of german-german economic relations that developed by this period, and the importance of the GDR factor for the economic rapprochement of the USSR and Germany.

AI-Enhanced Information Security: Safeguarding Government and Healthcare PHI
Authors: Komaragiri Venkata Bhardwaj , Edward Andrew
Published: July 2024

Ransomware attacks on government agencies and the tendency of gangs are contributing to an unprecedented crisis in the U.S. These strikes not only lock organizations, including large healthcare providers and government networks, data for large amounts of ransom but also, in some cases, suspend patient care and critical social services provided by vital government employees. In addition to these recent destructive attacks, the annual Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR) always shows that government and healthcare organizations have numerous security incidents and data crimes. These incidents cost millions of dollars in response tendencies and remediation measures, damage or extinction of data, and harm the reputation of affected organizations. Furthermore, the potential for causing physical harm to a patient has raised concerns about the current summary of the implications of cybercrime.This demonstrates that healthcare data collection and protection are of increasing importance to the public and the government. However, protecting healthcare-protected health information (PHI) is very difficult. Hospital information systems are complex, fragmented, and heterogeneous, involving a large number of medical devices, sensors, and software applications from multiple manufacturers. Protecting sensitive data in this environment is not easy, especially when the purpose of providing medical care is to improve the patient's condition through treatment by collecting, accessing, and sharing data. Most security measures are not compatible with this mission, so cybersecurity is still important. A recent report by the International Health Research Institute found that 82 American hospitals have been targets of last year's ransomware attacks, and it is very likely that these attacks and their negative impact will continue to grow. A recent report from the Obama Administration's President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) described this particular situation in detail. The report further states that healthcare organizations must be prepared for future large-scale cyber attacks and that it is likely that highly motivated attackers have the potential to shut down large parts of critical network infrastructure.

Evaluation of Structural and Dielectric Properties of Eu3+, B3+ co-doped Ba2GdMO6 (M=Nb, Ta) Double Perovskite Ceramics
Authors: İlhan Mustafa , Güleryüz Lütfiye Feray
Published: July 2024

In the study, the structural and dielectric properties of Ba2GdMO6 (M=Nb, Ta) double perovskite ceramics produced with solid-state method were examined by co-doping xEu3+ and yB3+ (x=10 mol%, y=0, 5, 15, 30, 50, 70 and 100 mol%). XRD (X-ray diffraction) results of the ceramic samples exhibited a single-phase structure with cubic symmetry Fm-3m space group, while increasing B3+ concentration led to an increase in crystallite sizes and lattice parameters up to 50 mol% in both series. SEM (scanning electron microscopy) examinations revealed the presence of boron-supported grain growth and agglomeration in the grains of both series, and also a slight angularity occurred in grain shape at high B3+ concentrations. The dielectric constant (ε') of the ceramic samples in both series increased with increasing boron concentration up to 50 mol%, and it was approximately 33.5 and 35.4 at 20 Hz for the Ba2Gd1-xNbO6:xEu3+, yB3+ and Ba2Gd1-xTaO6:xEu3+, yB3+, respectively. The decrease in the dielectric constant after 50 mol% may be attributed to the presence of increased strain in the structure, as shown by the decrease in crystallite size. The increasing B3+ concentration caused a decrease in dielectric loss (tan δ) in both series, which was attributed to the suppression of oxygen vacancies due to the increased presence of B3+ and hence to a decrease in ionic conductivity and dielectric loss.

Published: July 2024

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in using food additives from natural sources to improve taste, texture and extend the shelf-life of foodstuffs. The aim of this study was to examine the quality changes in trout treated with lemon juice for 21 days. Fish were divided into T0, T1, T2 and T3 and treated with 0, 1%, 2% and 3% lemon juice respectively. The lowest pH was found in T3 followed by T2, T1 and T0. A significant difference in total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), peroxide value (PV) and free fatty acid (FFA) was observed between the control and treatments, with the lowest increase in T3 followed by T2. Total plate count (TPC) crossed the limit in T2 and T3 on the 21st day, whereas in control and T1, the permissible limit crossed on the 12th and 18th days respectively. The sensory panel rejected the control on the 12th day and T1 and T3 on the 18th day; however, T2 remained acceptable till the 21st day, thus showing the promising effect of lemon juice on the quality of trout fillet and thereby increasing the shelf-life of the product by nine days.

Published: July 2024

Background: Bovines are domesticated ungulates mainly raised as livestock for milk, meat and leather and as draught animals. A slaughterhouse study helps to assess the disease status of herds and contains valuable information about the incidence and epidemiology of animal diseases. Haemoprotozoan diseases are one of the major problems which adversely affect the health and productivity of cattle. The diverse climatic zones of India are highly conducive to the survival and propagation of vectors and vector-borne pathogens. However, there is no data on proper slaughterhouse study of bovines in Mizoram even in India for determination of the prevalence of haemoprotozoan infections. Methods: The blood samples were collected in an EDTA vials. The blood smear was prepared, stained with Giemsa stain and examined for the presence of haemoprotozoan. The DNA was isolated from positive samples by use of a DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit. Then PCR was performed for all the isolated DNA collected from positive samples. After confirmation through PCR, the representative samples for Anaplasma sp. and Theileria sp. were sent for sequencing. Then the sequencing results were annotated using BLAST, ClustalW multiple alignment program of MEGA9 software. The phylogenetic tree was generated by using the Neighbour-Joining method, keeping bootstrap consensus from 1000 replicates. Result: After the blood smear examination, PCR was performed for confirmation. Molecular detection of Anaplasma marginale, Theileria orientalis was done. Molecular characterization of 2 isolates from Anaplasma marginale and Theileria orientalis was performed by sequencing. The sequence analysis of rpoB gene of isolates of Anaplasma revealed both the isolates were placed in the same clade in the phylogenetic tree. The phylogenetic analysis of Thileria isolates revealed that isolate Miz-86 was closely placed with the Type-N3 clade. Whereas the other isolate i.e. Miz-87, belonged to the Type-5 clade.

Authors: Yu Guzenko A. , Guzenko A.V. , Sapunkov V.L.
Published: July 2024

Background: Due to the changing climatic conditions in the Southern Federal District over the past thirty years, the yield of spring barley has fallen sharply due to the sharp hot and extreme temperatures. In 2023, based on early research and a summary of meteorological forecast data in the Volgograd region, an experiment was launched on the basis of the Federal Scientific Center of Agroecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Kamyshinsky district to test spring barley varieties: Medicum 139, Medicum 200, Kamyshinsky 23, Dmitrievsky 5 and Novonikolaevsky. These varieties were selected as the most stress-and drought-resistant in terms of their breeding characteristics. Methods: The technology of cultivating varieties of spring barley in field experiments was according to B.A. Dospekhov and the methodology of the state variety testing of agricultural crops. Result: When studying the products of spring barley varieties, variety tests were conducted in arid conditions of the Southern Federal District. The study of the potential of spring barley varieties in experimental plots according to PP and NPP made it possible to assess the productivity of crops in the “germination-tillering” phase. The results of leaf diagnostics, further research in the Kamyshinsky district allowed us to identify the most heat- and drought-resistant varieties despite extreme weather conditions.

Published: July 2024

Aim: Calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement is an endodontic biomaterial; however, enhancing its physical/mechanical properties remains a challenge. This in vitro study investigates the influence of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the setting time, microhardness, and compressive strength of CEM cement. Methods: Four different groups of CEM cement were prepared: a control group without nanoparticles, two groups with ZrO2 or ZnO, and a group with a combination of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were added to the powder in predetermined concentrations. The setting time was evaluated using the Gilmore needle method, while microhardness and compressive strength were determined using Vickers hardness and a universal testing machine, respectively. Results: The incorporation of ZnO slightly reduced the setting time, while the addition of ZrO2 significantly prolonged it compared to the control group. Interestingly, the combination of both nanoparticles exhibited a setting time comparable to that of the control group. Regarding the microhardness and compressive strength, both ZrO2 and ZnO significantly improved these properties compared to the control group. The combination of both nanoparticles showed the highest microhardness and compressive strength values among all groups. Conclusions: The addition of nanoparticles to CEM cement effectively modifies its physical and mechanical properties. The optimal combination of these nanoparticles can potentially achieve an improved balance between setting time and enhanced mechanical performance.
Imágenes y discursos de la contestación a los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno Pirineus-Barcelona 2030: diversidad reivindicativa y pérdida del consenso olímpico
Authors: Abadia i Naudí Sixte , Hernández Yannick , Pujadas i Martí Xavier
Published: July 2024

En los últimos años han aumentado los movimientos sociales contrarios a los Juegos Olímpicos que cuestionan los supuestos impactos positivos y el inherente legado de este tipo de proyectos.Este artículo tiene como objetivo indagar a través de imágenes en la complejidad del debate en torno a la candidatura de Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno Pirineus-Barcelona 2030 como espacio de discusión sobre el futuro de un territorio como el Pirineo catalán (España), y reflexionar sobre el cambio producido en torno al establecimiento de grandes consensos sociales, treinta años después de los Juegos Olímpicos de 1992. Partiendo de una contextualización histórica, se aborda el estudio mediante un enfoque etnográfico. Los investigadores recopilaron fotografías y videos de la manifestación de oposición a la citada candidatura, celebrada en mayo del 2022 en la localidad de Puigcerdà, mediante la técnica de observación participante. También se recogieron fotografías publicadas en medios de comunicación y en redes sociales poniendo énfasis en carteles, banderas, lemas, pancartas y otras categorías inductivas.El material visual recopilado fue analizado siguiendo un triple proceso que caracteriza el carácter mixto: de contenido, etnográfico y del discurso. La triangulación del análisis visual con otros enfoques, métodos e investigadores aporta consistencia a este estudio de corte cualitativo comprensivo.Los resultados sugieren que esta manifestación se enmarca en la creciente articulación de protestas hacia grandes proyectos tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional. Estas reivindicaciones, incipientemente, ya se observaron en otras candidaturas españolas, como Barcelona’92. Entre los principales ejes de protesta presentes en la manifestación destacaron los de oposición al movimiento olímpico, los de carácter independentista, los de tipo medioambiental, y los de crítica al modelo de desarrollo del Pirineo catalán. Este acto permitió visualizar una contestación sin precedentes por parte de determinados sectores de población y de una gran diversidad de organizaciones preocupadas por las consecuencias negativas de este evento. La manifestación contraria a la candidatura olímpica Pirineus-Barcelona 2030 refleja la creciente dificultad para alcanzar amplios acuerdos sociales en torno a los grandes eventos y la pérdida progresiva del consenso olímpico existente en España en décadas anteriores. Esto supone un cambio de paradigma mayoritario en la percepción que tiene la ciudadanía española desde Barcelona’92 acerca de los beneficios de un mega evento deportivo internacional como los Juegos Olímpicos.
Recordações fotográficas do hipismo brasileiro nos Jogos Olímpicos (1948-1996)
Authors: Vieira Guilherme Carvalho , Pereira Ester Liberato , Mazo Janice Zarpellon
Published: July 2024

El movimiento olímpico de la modernidad y el proceso de industrialización surgen prácticamente en el mismo momento, cuando el deporte se vuelve útil para mantener el cuerpo productivo y controlado. En este contexto, las máquinas y las aspiraciones de ruptura con las representaciones culturales identificadas con lo antiguo son necesarias para el imaginario social. En esta investigación, presentamos una historia de la equitación olímpica registrada a través de imágenes de las cámaras y difundidas por la prensa brasileña. El objetivo principal es presentar memorias deportivas olímpicas de la modalidad de salto ecuestre brasileña, constituidas por medio de fotografías entre 1948 y 1996. El marco temporal de la investigación se sitúa entre el año 1948, cuando, por primera vez, atletas brasileños en la práctica del salto de obstáculos representaron al país en los Juegos Olímpicos, y se extiende hasta el año 1996, que marca la primera medalla olímpica brasileña en esa modalidad ecuestre. De esta forma, vinculamos dos instrumentos de la modernidad y su relación con el movimiento olímpico, aplicando, como metodología, el análisis de imágenes transmitidas por los reportajes sobre las delegaciones brasileñas en el escenario olímpico. Además, se sometieron, a análisis documental, publicaciones periódicas, diarios, revistas y otros periódicos, que contenían el tema, disponibles en la Hemeroteca Digital (BNDigital) de la Fundación Biblioteca Nacional. También se accedió a imágenes disponibles en centros de memoria deportiva, sitios web de la Confederación Brasileña de Hipismo (CBH), de federaciones estatales y la Federación Ecuestre Internacional (FEI). Frente al problema de la imagen como operador de la memoria deportiva e instrumento de la modernidad, la interpretación de los registros se apoya en el campo de la Nueva Historia Cultural, con el fin de comprender cómo se produjo el archivo y cuáles son sus funciones en la composición de un instrumento o lugar de la memoria. Del mismo modo, buscamos interrelacionar los registros que se conservan y los que no permanecen, procurando cruzar los disponibles en los centros de memoria y sitios web oficiales con otros encontrados en la prensa de la época.

Published: July 2024

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar o potencial natural de enraizamento de híbridos de videira com uso de estaquia lenhosa e semilenhosa. Os genótipos avaliados foram híbridos de videira oriundos do cruzamento entre cultivares das espécies Vitis labrusca e Vitis rotundifolia, os porta-enxertos ‘Paulsen 1103’, ‘IAC 766’ e ‘VR043-43’, e a cultivar Magnolia da espécie V. rotundifolia. Os ramos utilizados para os experimentos foram coletados no Setor de Fruticultura da Estação Experimental do Canguiri da UFPR em Pinhais-PR. As estacas lenhosas foram preparadas com 30 cm de comprimento e as estacas semilenhosas com 6 cm de comprimento e uma folha inteira na parte superior da estaca. As estacas não receberam indutores de enraizamento. Na estaquia lenhosa os híbridos IBRE421 e IBBT481 apresentaram as maiores porcentagem de estacas enraizadas (23,3%). Os demais híbridos apresentaram taxas muito baixas ou nulas de enraizamento e elevadas taxas de estacas mortas, revelando que os híbridos entre V. labrusca e V. rotundifolia possuem grande dificuldade para a formação de raízes em estacas lenhosas. Com estacas semilenhosas, o enraizamento dos híbridos foi melhor, variando entre 42,5 a 60%, semelhante aos porta-enxertos ‘Paulsen 1103’ e ‘VR043-43’. O porta-enxerto ‘IAC 766’ apresentou a maior porcentagem de estacas enraizadas (97,5%). Os híbridos de videira, originados do cruzamento entre V. labrusca e V. rotundifolia, apresentam grande dificuldade de enraizamento por estacas lenhosas. A estaquia semilenhosa permite a propagação dos híbridos e porta-enxertos de videira.

Abstract
Farmers frequently use pesticides in agriculture to control pests and plant diseases. However, excessive use of pesticides will leave large amounts of pesticide residue, which can cause health problems. Therefore, it is necessary to test pesticide residue levels (chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and dimethoate) on chilies and potatoes, which refers to the maximum limit value of contamination based on PERMENTAN Number 53 of 2018. The QuEChERS EN 15662:2018 method is used for the test. It has stages for extraction, clean-up, and an assay using LC-MS/MS. The test results demonstrate that chilies and potatoes do not contain pesticides chlorpyrifos, diazinon, or dimethoate above Permentan Number 53 of the 2018 Maximum Residue Limit. This result means that foods are safe to eat.

Improving the accessibility of medical care is one of the tasks to achieve the goals of state policy in saving the population and human development of a number of strategic documents of the Russian Federation. Purpose of the study is to analyze the non-medical aspects of ensuring accessibility of medical care, their normative legal regulation in territorial planning in healthcare at the regional level. Materials and methods. The source of information was legal acts from the reference legal system ConsultantPlus. Descriptive and analytical methods were used in the study. Results. It is shown that the issues of ensuring accessibility of medical care and creating conditions for its provision and development are attributed by various legislative and regulatory acts both to the powers of public authorities of the subject of the Russian Federation and to the powers of local governments within the competence defined by the legislation of the Russian Federation, but these provisions of powers are fixed differently and require amendments and clarifications. The expediency of making amendments to normative acts of different levels and departments within the framework of clarifying the norm on creating conditions for the provision of medical care to the population on the territory of a municipal district or municipal, urban district in terms of providing transport services to the population and organization of transport services, parking space with the possibility of getting to a medical organization for all groups of the population has been determined. Within the framework of regulation, other social guarantees for children of medical workers and norms on providing medical workers with housing (office housing, under a social rent agreement, provision of relevant subsidies and payments for the purchase of housing) need to be specified. The presence of sufficient regulation in terms of the rules of construction and maintenance of roads in the legal field was determined, however, the federal laws and subordinate regulations cited in the study lack specificity and correlation of these legal norms in relation to medical organizations. Conclusions. The necessity to improve the normative basis of non-medical aspects of state and municipal provision of accessibility of medical care to the population in terms of correlation between constitutional norms and legal acts of different departments has been determined in order to specify measures aimed at improving accessibility in the provision of medical care regarding transport accessibility, social guarantees for medical personnel and other measures to develop infrastructure.

To reduce the workload of nursing staff, it is necessary to develop new approaches to the organization of work, new methods and forms of managing these personnel. Purpose of the study is to develop a system for the distribution of duties of non-medical personnel in order to improve the efficiency of medical organization functioning, basing on the example of the Vorohobov’s City Clinical Hospital № 67. The system will significantly reduce the workload of medical personnel, increase staff motivation and improve the quality of medical services provided. Material and methods. The features of the the Vorohobov’s City Clinical Hospital № 67 functioning, as well as the personnel reform carried out, contributing to the optimization of the activities of medical personnel, are considered. A quantitative analysis of the costs and structure of the nurses working time in the Vorohobov’s City Clinical Hospital № 67 was carried out on the basis of statistical accounting methods: an inventory of tasks and a survey of nurses in a separate building of the medical organization were performed. Results. It was revealed that the greatest time costs for performing labor operations that do not require medical qualifications during the working day fall on the nurses of treatment (procedure) room and dressing examination (bandaging room). Specific job responsibilities that can be delegated to non-medical staff have been identified. According to the results of a quantitative study, the modernization of labor organization principles in medical organizations on the example of the Vorohobov’s City Clinical Hospital № 67 consists in delegating labor operations, such as document handling and working with electronic resources, to non-medical personnel.

Published: July 2024

Along with the development of extension, extension workers are expected to always be dynamic and follow existing changes. One of the changes made is the strategy of choosing media for extension in accordance with field conditions and the needs of farmers so that extension activities can achieve the planned targets. This study aims to determine the preferences of extension workers in choosing media for disseminating innovations and to determine the influence of the role of coworkers on the preferences of agricultural extension workers in using extension media in group communication in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. This study used a survey method and 40 extension workers in all UPTD BP4 Region I -VIII Sleman Regency were selected through simple random sampling. The analysis conducted to determine the preference of extension workers was the Cochran test. To determine the role of coworkers on farmers' preferences, a simple linear regression test was conducted. The results show that agricultural extension workers have a tendency to choose extension media that are generally used. In addition, the role of coworkers significantly influenced the preferences of agricultural extension workers.

Published: July 2024

One strategy to pique viewers' interest is to display contentious topics, cases, and sources. Metro TV successfully achieved this with their Special Report, "Becoming a Suspect, Rafael Alun Talks". This study was conducted to learn more about Metro TV's editorial approach to airing contentious sources on the Rafael Alun episode of the Special Report show. The idea of editorial strategy and the Hierarchy of Influence theory are used as analytical tools in this study. A case study using a qualitative approach is the methodology employed, and post positivism is the paradigm. The study's findings demonstrate that Metro TV's editorial strategy for airing the Rafael Alun edition of the Special Report consists of five key components: (1) picking topics that are popular and relevant to the general public, as well as their sources; (2) choosing the concept for the program; (3) choosing the team that produces the content; (4) processing the content in line with editorial and editorial direction; and (5) evaluation.
Frank Ramsey, Cambridge Pragmatism and the Problem of Belief
Authors: Makeeva Lolita ,   National Research University Higher School of Economics
Published: July 2024

The paper discusses Cambridge pragmatism which is understood as certain views of a few Cambridge philosophers (B. Russell, Ch. Ogden, F. Ramsey) in the 1920s. Frank Ramsey is regarded as the crucial and most interesting proponent of those views. The philosophers who have introduced the term Cambridge pragmatism (H. Price, Ch. Misak) propose to reconsider the “standard” history which, in their view, underestimates the influence of American pragmatism on the Cambridge philosophers in question. It, first of all, concerns Ramsey who, in Misak’s words, created “the most compelling version” of pragmatism. The aim of the paper is to try to figure out, taking, as a kind of test, the problem of belief which was intensively discussed by both the American pragmatists and the Cambridge philosophers of the 1920s and the particular solution of which constitutes, so to say, the kernel of pragmatism, which of the approaches to understanding Ramsey’s view – the standard history or Misak’s history – is more justified. It is concluded that the differences between the two approaches are determined by the fact that they evaluate Ramsey’s ideas from the position of different conceptions of pragmatism. It is noted that a more interesting task for historians of philosophy is to explain why such organic syntheses of analytic philosophy and pragmatism, as we have in the case of Ramsey, are possible.
From Charles Secretan’s Сorrespondence with Felix Ravaisson. Secretan to Ravaisson
Authors: Vizgin Victor ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

The article is dedicated to an unexplored subject in the history of spiritualism in the 19th century and considers two of its prominent representatives – the famous French spiritualist Felix Ravaisson (1813–1900) and the Swiss thinker Charles Secrétan (1815–1895). The author uses not only biographical material, but also such unstudied documents as Secretan’s article on the philosophy of Ravaisson and his letter to him, accidentally discovered by Ch. Devivaise in Ch. Renouvier’s archive. The author shows that the dependence of both philosophers on Schelling was not so much the direct influence of the German philosopher on their thought as an internal relationship with his thought. The article shows that Ravaisson’s emphasis on the aesthetic component of understanding the world as the self-development of the spirit contrasts with the moral optics of Secrétan’s metaphysics. In addition, the philosophy of Ravaisson was formed on the basis of the Christianly rethought metaphysics of Aristotle, while the philosophy of Secrétan has as its starting point the moral and religious thought of Kant. However, the pathos of the universal striving for the best, the highest, the excellent on the path of sacrificial service and self-giving indissolubly unites these spiritualist philosophers. In the Appendix to the article, the author gives a translation of the mentioned letter of Secrétan to Ravaisson.
Towards cyber-cooperatives: Studying the sharing economy of the tourism industry through an evolutionary approach to organizational cybernetics
Authors: Osejo-Bucheli Camilo
Published: July 2024

Purpose: The lodging industry is transitioning to the online collaborative economy, with digital platforms mediating between hosts and guests. However, this has created significant inequalities between the platform management and the service providers. Objective. The paper proposes (a) to contribute to organisational cybernetics through evolutionary theory, (b) to analyse the emergence of platform cooperativism, and (c) to propose a platform cooperative based on the VSM, which we have called a cyber-cooperative. Design: Applying cybernetic evolutionary epistemology and the VSM, the article analyses the current state of the platform lodging industry and proposes the core characteristics of the cyber-cooperative. Findings: The article finds: a) it contributes to the theory of viable systems by integrating evolutionary theory; b) it uses the proposed theory to explain the developments in the collaborative economy of the lodging industry; c) it relates meme theory with the identity of the system and identifies the political ideas in cooperative organisations; d) it proposes the idea of the cyber-cooperative for developing the lodging industry. Originality: Evolutionary epistemology in organisational cybernetics, and the politics of identity in cooperativism are both novel approaches in the VSM. Type of paper: Research paper.
Repeated complete atrioventricular block during remifentanil administration in a pediatric patient with brain tumor and acute hydrocephalus: a case report
Authors: Ura Akihiro , Fujii Keisuke , Tanioku Tadashi , Kawamata Tomoyuki
Published: July 2024

Background
Remifentanil, an ultra-short-acting µ-opioid receptor agonist, is commonly used for anesthetic management due to excellent adjustability. Remifentanil is known to cause sinus bradycardia, however, because it has a direct negative chronotropic effect on the cardiac conduction system and there is an indirect negative chronotropic effect via the parasympathetic nervous system.
Case presentation
An 8-year-old Japanese boy was diagnosed with acute hydrocephalus due to a brain tumor in the fourth ventricle and underwent emergency surgery. Imaging examination showed brainstem compression. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery were scheduled. Remifentanil was started during induction of general anesthesia, but electrocardiogram showed sinus bradycardia, then Wenckebach-type atrioventricular block, and then complete atrioventricular block. Remifentanil was immediately discontinued, and we administered atropine sulfate. Complete atrioventricular block was restored to sinus rhythm. When remifentanil was restarted, however, the electrocardiogram again showed sinus bradycardia, Wenckebach-type atrioventricular block, and then complete atrioventricular block. Remifentanil was again immediately discontinued, we administered adrenaline, and then complete atrioventricular block was restored to sinus rhythm. Fentanyl was used instead of remifentanil with continuous infusion of dopamine. There has since been no further occurrence of complete atrioventricular block.
Conclusions
This is the first known case of complete atrioventricular block in a pediatric patient with increased intracranial pressure seemingly caused by administration of remifentanil.
