Voloshina “The problems of formation of historical memory”, Professor V.B. Shepeleva “Historical memory, the cultural code of the nation and the requirements of post-nonclassical”. At the sectional meeting, a report was presented by Professor A.V. Yakub, dedicated to the peculiarities of fixing historical memory in philately.The problems of the speeches of Omsk scientists successfully fit into the concept of the conference. At the forum, along with theoretical issues of historical memory, issues of historical politics were actively discussed, and a cross-section of historical memory was presented in certain regions with differentiation in social and age groups of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus populations.
Party systems of Russian regions at the finish of the electoral cycle of 2017-2021
Authors: Shpagin S. A.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the characterization of party systems in Russian regions. The empirical basis of the work was the statistical data of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation on the progress and results of the elections held in 2017-2020 in regional legislative assemblies. Aggregating this data, the author analyzes the dynamics of the distribution of Russian regions by the level of voting for the ruling United Russia party, by the number of its deputies, as well as general changes in the average level of voting for parliamentary parties in regional elections and the representation of these parties in legislative assemblies. The fragmentation of regional parliaments elected in 2017-2020 is investigated using indicators such as the total number of parties in the assembly, the number of factions and the effective number of parties. The calculation of the effective number of parties is carried out on the basis of the formula proposed by G.V. Golosov. Compared to previously investigated data on the electoral cycle of 2012-2016, current trends have been identified in the decrease in the level of support for United Russia and the representation of this party in a significant part of regional parliaments. Also, the results of the study demonstrate the increase in the number of factions and fragmentation of the deputy corps of legislative assemblies of Russian regions. Differences between regions in the level of fragmentation and competition between parties are shown. The classification of Russian regional parliaments on the basis of comparing their party-factional composition with the State Duma and taking into account the number of factions was proposed. More factions are represented in polyphractic legislative assemblies than in the Duma until 2021, in small factions - less, and in similar ones - the same, i.e. 4. The trend of increasing the number of polyphractic legislative assemblies and decreasing low-factional ones compared to the previous electoral cycle is shown.
“Because the enemy DOES not sleep”. Honecker's last years in office between the USSR and FRG
Authors: Schmidtchen R.
Published: October 2024

Erich Honecker came to power after Brezhnev's intervention in 1970 and, at first, seemed to be a loyal follower of Moscow policies. Before the end of the decade, however, Soviet officials noticed a change in his behaviour towards a less respectful tone regarding Brezhnev and the Union. After Gorbachev's election as General Secretary in 1985, both politicians found at first common political ground. Before long, though, common denominators dissolved because Honecker refused to implement overdue reforms, namely Glasnost and Perestroika. Towards West Germany, he followed a policy that aimed to benefit as much of the primarily financial aid the FRG offered while implementing as little of the change Bonn demanded as possible. Following this path, Honecker continued to loosen ties with the USSR while, at the same time, he isolated the GDR within the socialist bloc and established good relations with Stalinist hardliners such as Ceausescu. Deteriorating living conditions, constant flight and emigration from the GDR led to increasing discontent within the state. Instead of implementing necessary changes, the SED continued to follow the policy of repression and deportation. Unlike before, dissenters did not allow themselves to be intimidated and continued their Monday demonstrations. On the GDRs 40th anniversary, celebrations differed from those in the past and guests of honour observed events and opinions which Honecker consistently disregarded. In the Politburo, Krenz and Schabowski agreed to depose the General Secretary in 1989 to contain further damage to the GDR. In collaboration with Stoph, who had unsuccessfully attempted the very same four years earlier with Soviet help, both set up a plan which led to the unanimous dismissal of Erich Honecker on 18 October 1989.
Soviet envoy to Finland I.M. Maysky and the mutiny in Mäntselä
Authors: Rupasov A. I.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the Soviet assessments of the internal political crisis in Finland caused by the so-called mutiny in Mäntselä in late February-early March 1932. The article concentrates on the Mäntselä events, in which Lapua influences and individuals were in a prominent position, even though the movement publicly adopted a predominantly conservative anti-communist outlook centered on the values of home, religion and fatherland. The conceptual apparatus used by the USSR Envoy to Finland, Ivan Maysky, did not allow to form an adequate idea of the internal political processes in Finland. The analysis of Ivan Maysky's views on the domestic political situation in Finland is based on his reports to the leadership of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs (above all to Boris Stomonyakov, a member of the Commissariat's Board who supervised relations with Finland). Correspondence with the Commissariat shows that the leadership of the Commissariat and the Envoy differed greatly in their assessment of the events and their consequences. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that the same misunderstanding of what was happening in Finland was also displayed by the structures of the Communist International. The members of the Polish-Baltic Landersecretariat may have put very different meanings into the term “fascism”. Moreover, the emergence of fascism in Finland and its complete victory in the Comintern could be attributed to different eras (even to the beginning of the twentieth century). Furthermore, the victory of fascism in Finland could be correlated with very different social and political forces. Maysky was not the only one who did not have a clear view of fascism; in fact, he was prepared to see it as a purely militant right-wing radicalism, coloured by nationalism and backed by the state apparatus and banking circles.
Policy of the Kingdom of Bahrain in the field of digitalisation of education
Authors: Tsukanov L. V.
Published: October 2024

The priorities of the digital policy of the Persian Gulf states at the present stage are seriously differ-ent. While the large Arabian monarchies (such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE) are betting on the develop-ment of large-scale military-political and economic programs, which in the future will consolidate their regional leadership, the small states of the GCC are striving to achieve success in a certain niche associ-ated with digital development. In the case of Bahrain, this niche has become e-education. This article examines in turn the key stages in the development of the digital education system in the Kingdom - from individual initiatives (“King Hamad's Schools of the Future”) to a comprehensive un-derstanding (the concept of “Education in Bahrain in a new era” as a part of “Vision 2030”) - and its im-pact on the pace of development of human capital and international reputation of Manama. In general, it is obvious that the Kingdom has achieved significant success: an effectively built system, based on a symbiosis of public and private projects, makes national specialists more competitive in the regional labor market, and also keeps Bahrain involved in the global educational agenda. On the other hand, the Kingdom still faces significant problems that impede effective development - among the main ones are the shortage of personnel, the inertia of the legislative sphere, and the lack of domestic software. One way or another, despite the problems, Bahrain continues to systematize efforts in the field of digital education and, with a high degree of probability, will promote this brand at the regional level.
The history of the village of Mamshenkino as an example of the expansion of the boundaries of the ecumene of the West Siberian Tatars
Authors: Tikhomirova M. N. , Tikhomirov K. N.
Published: October 2024

The article on the basis of field ethnographic and archaeological materials, archival documents and statistical and economic surveys of the beginning of the 20th century. The history and economic life of the little-known settlement of the West Siberian Tatars - village of Mamshenkino (modern Bolsherechensky district of the Omsk region) is reconstructed. The estimated dates of the settlement of the settlement, the circumstances of its occurrence, analyzed the family, social, age and gender composition of the inhabitants and their economic life, analyzed. The conclusions were made that it was founded by immigrants from the neighboring yurts Bolshe-Murlinsky about 1882-1883. On crown lands cut off as a result of the land surveying of the specified settlement. In the future, Tatars-immigrants settle from other places of the Tara District of Tobolsk province and from the European part of Russia. At the end of the 19th century the population of the settlement was young. The inhabitants prevailed the able-bodied population and children. Residents were engaged in livestock farming and agriculture. Archival data indicate that for an unknown reason before the First World War, part of the families were evicted back to the yurts Bolshe-Murlinsky. Perhaps this happened due to a lack of good agricultural lands. By 1926, the number of farms and residents decreased greatly. According to local historians, due to collectivization, the village was drove in the first half of the 1930s.
Ethnodemographic processes and identity in the regions of the Asian part of Russia (based on the 2021 survey)
Authors: Smirnova T. B.
Published: October 2024

The results of an ethno-sociological survey, which was conducted as part of a study of ethnodemographic processes in the regions of the Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts, are presented. The survey was conducted in 12 regions of Asian Russia under a single program. The use of sociological methods in the study of ethnodemographic processes, along with statistical and field ethnographic methods, is substantiated. The purpose of the 2021 survey was to study identity (all-Russian, regional, ethnic), and its possible impact on ethno-demographic processes. Answers were received to questions about the influence of ethnic identity on a person's life, about national languages and religion, about multiple ethnic identities.
The fight against corruption in the upper echelons of power in Siberia in the first half of the 18th century
Authors: Tolochko A. P. , Konovalov I. A.
Published: October 2024

The relevance of the topic of the proposed article is determined by the insufficient study in domestic historiography of the problems of combating corruption in the upper echelons of power in Siberia in the first half of the 18th century. The subject of research is the local administration on the Siberian outskirts of the Russian state. The purpose of the article is a comprehensive retrospective analysis of the fight against corruption in Siberia during the formation of an absolute monarchy. The research methodology is based on the classical principles used in historical research: scientific character, objectivity and historicism. Among the research methods involved were: structural-functional, typological and comparative-historical. The authors, on the example of the affairs of the Siberian governor M.P. Gagarin and Irkutsk vice-governor A.I. Zholobov, come to the conclusion that the history of Siberian government in the 18th century is an almost incessant series of corruption abuses. Corruption in Siberia in the first half of the 18th century covered the most important spheres of economic and political life. There were many reasons for this: low salaries, poor professionalism, poor-quality selection of officials, imperfect laws, falling moral values, etc. However, the root cause of corruption lay in the absolutist state itself, on which the parameters and state of the political, economic and spiritual spheres of society depend. The problem, among other things, was the alienation of the state from its subjects. Absolutist state in the first half of the 18th century was not focused on the interests of Siberians, which created additional incentives for the latter to find workarounds and illegal ways to solve the problems.
International cooperation of the Imperial Russian military historical society
Authors: Shestopalova A. S.
Published: October 2024

This article is a publication of historical sources on the activities of the Imperial Russian Military Historical Society (IRMHS). IRMHS was founded in 1907 and brought together military historians, publicists and all those interested in the military history of Russia. Researchers in different historical periods turned to the study of IRMHS activities. Nevertheless, the problem of international cooperation has not been comprehended in the scientific literature, the system of communications of the military-historical society has not been analyzed. The author found that the IRMHS members launched an active work to preserve historical memory both within the Russian Empire and beyond its borders. In particular, the Imperial Russian Military Historical Society made attempts to establish cooperation with Romania, which resulted in a scientific trip of members of the Odessa department in 1909 to study the Rymnik battlefield. The materials presented in the article are devoted to the return visit of the Romanian delegation to Russia. These sources are stored in the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library and are published for the first time. The first three documents were found in the fund of one of the active founding members of the society, G.S. Gabaev. These sources contain information about organizational issues related to the stay of the Romanian delegation in St. Petersburg. In the fund of another founding member of the military historical society K.A. Voensky, photographs of the Romanian delegation and members of the Imperial Russian Military Historical Society were found. This work is of interest to researchers involved in the study of the system of international scientific relations and the military history of the Russian Empire.
“It is necessary to put in order not ONLY the literature brought from Moscow, But also thoughts, impressions, incentives...”: from the correspondence of A.V. Isachenko with Soviet colleagues
Authors: Kovalev M. V. , Gruzdinskaya V. S.
Published: October 2024

In this paper the letters of A.V. Isachenko (1910-1978), the Czechoslovak-Slovenian-Austrian linguist of Russian origin, to ethnographer P.G. Bogatyrev and philologist A.V. Fedorov, his Soviet colleagues, was analyzed. At the same time these letters are published with scholarly commentaries. If Isachenko met Bogatyrev in interwar Czechoslovakia, then a personal meeting with Fedorov took place in 1958 in the USSR. These letters are in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Central State Archive of Literature and Art of St. Petersburg. They cover the period 1945-1965, reflecting the different stages of the post-war career of Professor Isachenko. So, the letter of 1945 to Bogatyrev shows Isachenko's intention to return to his homeland and integrate into the Soviet humanities. In letters to Fedorov in 1958, Isachenko shares his impressions of the journey to the International Congress of Slavists in Moscow, described the successes and difficulties of his work in Slovakia. In the messages of the 1960s Professor Isachenko wrote Bogatyrev on his work in East Berlin at the invitation of the German Academy of Sciences, discussed a scientific problem. The analyze of the presented correspondence contributes to the study of the biography of the famous linguist, whose scientific profile was formed at the intersection of different intellectual traditions - Russian, Czechoslovak, Slovenian and Austrian. Moreover, the Professor's fate fully reflected the sharp turns in the history of the 20th century. At the same time, the analysis of correspondence also contributes to the understanding of the relationship and interaction between the two Russias - Abroad and Soviet.
History Olympiads as a marker of modern scientific interests of students (on the example of the Olympiads of Dostoevsky Omsk state university) 2017-2022
Authors: Mamontova M. A.
Published: October 2024

The Olympic movement has become a priority activity of the Government of the Russian Federation. It is considered as the first stage of introducing students to the profession, as an important form of popularization of scientific knowledge, as one of the ways to form a successful young person. In this regard, the all-Russian History Olympiad for students of higher educational institutions, which is held by Dostoevsky Omsk State University, is in line with the current directions of youth policy. This Olympiad has been held since 2017 and is dedicated to discussing a landmark event in the history of Russia. The Olympiad consists of two stages: qualifying and final. At the qualifying stage, participants write a historical essay on the declared topic and attribute images related to this event. At the final stage, students complete written assignments and take part in the discussion of the problematic issue of the designated event in the form of a round table with the participation of a visiting scientist who is an expert in this field. In 2017-2022, issues related to the revolution of 1917, the Munich Conference of 1938, the Great Patriotic War, the Kronstadt Uprising of 1921 and the creation of the USSR were raised at the Olympics. The features of the all-Russian History Olympiad are highlighted. Organizationally, the Olympiad moved to the online space, which allowed students to more actively realize their scientific interest in such events. The permanent participants of the historical Olympiad have been identified in the face of universities that encourage scientific research, passion for the history of the Fatherland and competitive excitement in their students. The preferences of students in the study and discussion of certain events in the history of Russia of the twentieth century are emerging. For some students, the Olympiad has become a kind of springboard in their successful intellectual activity, which finds its further embodiment in conferences, travel grants, scientific projects.

The last trickster of Siberian ethnography (to the 70th anniversary of Valery Makarovich Kimeev)
Authors: Terentyev V. I.
Published: October 2024

This article discusses life and work of Valery Makarovich Kimeev - one of the most prominent Siberian ethnographers, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor at the Department of Archaeology of KemSU, in connection with his 70th birthday, which was to be held in October 2022. The article also attempts to identify trickster features in the creative, scientific and social life of the famous Siberian scientist. The trickster is the archetype of the frontier plane, teetering on the thin line that separates productive creation from negative destruction. The trickster is an unpredictable, fickle, charming type. The complexity of the problem lies in the identification of trickster features not in a folklore or mythological character, but in a real person who has recently passed away from us. Among the attributes of the trickster are the playful nature of his actions, the inability to fit into the known framework, the chaos and unpredictability of the hero, the communication of ideas and humor. Examples of the manifestation of the listed attributes in the life and work of V.M. Kimeev are demonstrated, first of all, on the basis of personal observations. Trickster features inherent in Valery Makarovich Kimeev were the basis of his behavior in life, the essence of his attitude and adaptation to reality. Trickster characteristics of V.M. Kimeev was supported by his professionalism and, at times, excessive demands on what was happening. The qualities of his character and personality that we examined drew attention to him, the last trickster of Siberian ethnography.
Short-Term Prevention of Internet Dependence in Older Adolescents
Authors: Udalova T.Yu. , Aksyutina Z.A.
Published: October 2024

The work is devoted to the analysis of the implementation of the program of short-term prevention of Internet addiction in older adolescents in the ever-increasing informatization of society, in the conditions of metropolitan gymnasiums. Domestic scientists focus on various aspects of Internet addiction, which are manifested in adolescents. Foreign research is carried out at the intersection of psychology with pharmacotherapy, psychiatry, philosophy, sociology, and addictology. The novelty of the study lies in highlighting the stages of forming ideas about the phenomenon of Internet addiction based on methodological and theoretical analysis, as well as clarifying the concepts of “informatization”, “digitalization”, “Internet addiction”. Based on the generally accepted paradigm of Internet addiction as a standard non-chemical addiction, acting as desocializing or interfering with normal socialization, based on the development of the modern information society, there is a need to prevent Internet addiction. The purpose of the article was to describe the empirical results of a study of short-term prevention of Internet addiction in older adolescents in urban gymnasiums. It was assumed that purposefully organized prevention of Internet addiction would contribute to its reduction, regardless of the timing of the implementation of preventive measures. The study involved 50 students of the 9th grade aged 14 to 16 years. An analysis of the results of the primary diagnosis of grade 9 of two different educational organizations before the start of the program showed that 94 % of students are at risk for the formation of Internet addiction and allowed us to say that older adolescence is a key factor in the emergence of a tendency to Internet addictive behavior. Experimental work was aimed at the implementation of a short-term group program for the prevention of Internet addiction in students of older adolescence. According to the results of the final diagnosis, the only significant quantitative change in the experimental group was the change in the Scale of intrapersonal problems, which may indicate the effectiveness of the training part of the preventive work, as well as the effectiveness of individual consulting work provided to students. The factors of inefficiency of a short-term prevention program and targets in building a comprehensive work on the prevention of Internet addiction among students of educational institutions are identified.
Cognitive Modeling of the Spectra of Modern Political Consciousness of Russians
Authors: Milcharek T.P. , Milcharek N.A. , Marenko V.A. , Bogza E.A. , Grishkina A.P.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of the author's research at the intersection of political and experimental psychology. The purpose of this study: experimental identification of the patterns of functioning of the political consciousness of modern Russians and the features of its influence on the extremist orientation of the individual to support and make appropriate management decisions. Based on a combination of existential and psychosemantic approaches, a model of political consciousness has been developed, which includes three levels. Particular attention is paid to the mental level of political consciousness, its further research is carried out in accordance with the realities in the political life of Russia. The resulting model is empirically verified with the help of a psychodiagnostic questionnaire "Cultural Code" specially developed for this task. The data obtained in the course of two experimental sections are analyzed using standard methods of mathematical statistics, as well as using the theory of fuzzy sets and simulation modeling. This makes it possible to build cognitive models of political consciousness and functional states of the subject. In particular, to model the state of a subject with an extremist ideology and an extremist personality orientation and the state of a subject with a positive ideology and a prosocial personality orientation. Further, the obtained results form the basis of a computational experiment. The results of the study confirm the relevance of the developed psychodiagnostic tools, constructed theoretical constructs and cognitive models. In the field of practical activities and prevention of socially dangerous behavior, this means the need for systematic and integrated work of state and public organizations aimed at strengthening the spectrum of traditionalism and patriotism in the political consciousness of modern Russians, and weakening radicalism and nationalism.
Studies of communicative behavior in the works of I.A. Sternin
Authors: Sternina M.A.
Published: October 2024

The paper discusses the research of communicative behavior in the works of Iosif Abramovich Sternin. The term "communicative behavior" was introduced into linguistic usage by I.A. Sternin. Communicative behavior is defined as a system of norms and traditions of communication between peoples, social, age, gender and professional groups as well as individuals. Norms are defined as mandatory and include speech etiquette (greeting formulas, farewells, politeness formulas), as well as taboos. Traditions are understood as what is customary said in a particular communicative situation. I.A. Sternin developed principles and models for describing communicative behavior, as well as the terminological apparatus of such a description. I.A. Sternin studied, described and supervised the research of the communicative behavior of Russians, Englishmen, Americans, Kyrgyz, Germans, Finns, Chinese, French, Baltic and Slavic peoples, conducted research on professional and age-related communicative behavior, as well as research on the reconstruction of the linguistic personality of figures of the past.
Problemáticas y estrategias de supervivencia de los clubes de fútbol infantil barrial de Bariloche en contexto de hegemonía neoliberal (1994-2001)
Authors: Arancibia Agüero Luciano
Published: October 2024

En este artículo reconstruimos las realidades de los clubes de fútbol infantil barrial en la ciudad de Bariloche en la segunda mitad de la década de 1990 y hasta la crisis del 2001. Desde un abordaje de la historia social, analizamos el devenir de dichas instituciones, considerando sus problemáticas y las estrategias de subsistencia de los sectores populares en los años de hegemonía neoliberal. Las asociaciones futbolísticas se vieron afectadas por las políticas económicas de esta etapa y por los procesos de desestructuración social. Ante esto, promovieron diversas acciones y la construcción de redes institucionales para poder sobrevivir. Los resultados de sus estrategias fueron diversos debido a la diferente fortaleza de cada entidad. Luego, la crisis del 2001 habilitó una revitalización de los clubes como espacios participativos que promovieron acciones solidarias. El periodo estudiado estuvo atravesado por una contradicción entre las fuerzas de desintegración social y la construcción de iniciativas colectivas.
A humean solution to Agrippa’s trilemma —and an internalist scape to Bergmann’s dilemma
Authors: Vilaró Luna Ignacio
Published: October 2024

In this paper, I analyse Agrippa’s trilemma, an old skeptical argument that questions the possibility of justifying any arbitrary belief p and its paradox about jus-tification. Assuming that neither infinitism nor skepticism are satisfactory positions, the main alternatives available to face the problem (foundationism, coherentism and epistemic externalism) are outlined, as well as some central arguments that show the serious difficulties they face. In the case of foundationalism, these problems arise from two dilemmas, which work together with the trilemma to make our philosophical life even more difficult: the so-called Sellar’s dilemma and Bergmann’s dilemma —although the latter is a very general attack on internalism. The former calls into question the inte-lligibility of a key idea of standard foundationalism: the notion of justified basic belief. The second casts doubt on the rational sustainability of epistemic internalism, which is a usual presupposition of the presentation of the trilemma. I explore a Humean way out of the trilemma that also manages to escape such dilemmas. Like any position in this difficult territory the way out has costs. However, they do not seem unaffordable. Here I only intend to tentatively present the idea, as a possible way out of our difficulties, which deserves to be seriously discussed.
Abstraction and idealization of Homo economicus: the formation of the neoclassical notion of the rational agent
Authors: Hernández Cervantes Josafat Iván
Published: October 2024

The article presents a historical reconstruction of homo economicus. The aim is to show how the notion of agent went from being a holistic abstraction in Adam Smith to an idealizing abstraction where some features of the human being are simplified and exaggerated. To this end, the notion of agent in Smith is reconstructed and then it is shown how in the works of John Stuart Mill, the marginalist revolution, perfect competition, an increasingly idealized notion of agent was formed which, already in the expected utility model, ceased to represent human beings. The text shows how this growing idealization was linked to the process of mathematization of economics. Fi-nally, some epistemological advantages and disadvantages of the neoclassical notion of the rational agent are discussed.
Engels’ Dialectics of nature as an attempt at scientific normalization: A kuhnian reading
Authors: Rodríguez Chiarini Sebastián Matías
Published: October 2024

In this paper I study Engels’ ideas on dialectical materialism, from the per-spective of Thomas Kuhn’s philosophy of science. I argue that Engels’ efforts, in works such as Anti-Düring or (even more so) in his Dialectics of Nature, are best understood as an attempt to crystalize a new scientific paradigm, in the sense that Kuhn (2000) gives to this last word. In order to do this, I start by identifying Marx’s previous statement regarding this topic. Then I present Kuhn’s concept of a “disciplinary matrix”. Thirdly, I apply the aforementioned concept to Engels’ work, identifying all the elements of the disciplinary matrix.
Kant and pirrohnian skepticism: some clues to a kantian perspective, in skeptiptic sense
Authors: Aguilar Martínez Ernesto
Published: October 2024

My objective is to highlight the importance of Pyrrhonian skepticism in the development and consolidation of critical-transcendental idealism. For this I follow a metaphysical point of view, different from the specialized bibliography, about the influ-ence of skepticism in Kant, I introduce the notion of argumental resonance as a guide, assuming the unknowability of things in themselves and of transcendentality. The result is the updating of an old problem about the influence of Pyrrhonian skepticism on Kant, with the addition of a metaphysical context, that goes from a dogmatic-rationalist period to his own proposal. My conclusion is that such skeptical argumental resonance has been irreproachable in his pre-critical, critical and posthumous works.
on a tableaux method for a synthetic term logic
Authors: Castro-Manzano J.-Martín
Published: October 2024

Combining logics is usually done with respect to Fregean-Tarskian-Kripkean systems, but since logic does not need to be restricted to this received view of logic, in this work we reproduce a synthetic logic of terms à la Sommers together with a tableaux proof method, and we show some of its metatheoretical properties. In particular, we show that the logics we synthetize can be properly combined and that the synthetic tableaux method preserves the properties of the tableaux methods of each basic logic.
Mario Teodoro Ramírez (2022), El nihilismo mexicano, México, Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo/Bonilla Artigas, 269 pp.	Mario Teodoro Ramírez (2022),
Authors: Cuéllar Moreno José Manuel
Published: October 2024

El reciente libro de Mario Teodoro Ramírez lleva un título breve y provocador: El nihilismo mexicano. La palabra “nihilismo” se usó a lo largo del siglo xx (y acaso se usa en la actualidad) como el insulto filosófico por antonomasia. Según el contexto (y el destinatario del insul-to) podía significar ateo, suicida, inmoral, irracionalista o libertino. Ningún filósofo mexicano se arrogó a sí mismo el título de nihilista, nadie lo quiso ostentar con orgullo. Decir de alguien que su pensamiento conduce al nihil-ismo es como acusarlo de que desemboca en un callejón sin salida o de que sus propuestas tienen algo de corrosivo y disolvente. De aquí que el libro nos sorprenda con la guardia en alto. ¿Samuel Ramos, Jorge Portilla, Emilio Uranga y Octavio Paz fueron nihilistas? En todos ellos se advierte la urgencia de moralizar a México. Si algo los escandalizaba era la falta de solidaridad de los mexicanos, el virus del individualismo y la mecanización, el colonial-ismo mental y cultural, la ausencia de un horizonte comunitario. Hoy se ve con malos ojos el tono aleccionador empleado en algunos de sus textos. El intelectual de entonces cumplía un papel muy diferente al que cumple en la actualidad.
Carmen Silva (2021), De la filosofía natural a la psicología de la moral en el Ensayo sobre el entendimiento humano de John Locke, México: Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México/Universidad Autónoma de Aguas Calientes, 235 pp.
Authors: Mota Pinto Sílvio
Published: October 2024

Unas décadas antes, Descartes había cambiado definitivamente la ma-nera escolástica de practicar la filosofía. No obstante, Locke decidió no quedarse atrás y en el Ensayo sobre el entendimiento humano1 pro-puso otra vía alternativa al escolasticismo y al aristotelismo rampante en el establishment académico británico del siglo xvii: con él empieza la escuela de pensamiento conocida como empirismo británico. Pero ¿qué caracterís-ticas esenciales tendrá el empirismo fundado por Locke y desarrollado más adelante por Berkeley y Hume? El reciente libro de Carmen Silva sobre el Ensayo2 pretende contribuir al debate sobre las bases del empirismo de Loc-ke. De la filosofía natural en sus 6 capítulos presenta los presupuestos de la escuela británica de pensamiento: el capítulo 1 está dedicado a la influencia de la nueva filosofía natural sobre el pensamiento de Locke; en el segundo se discute su concepción sobre la percepción; a continuación (capítulo 3), se explica cómo Locke utiliza su teoría de las ideas para resolver el clásico problema de los universales; en el siguiente, Silva defiende que Locke se apoya en su teoría de las ideas para promover una novedosa concepción no teológica, no innatista y cuantitativa del infinito; en el quinto discute algunas interpretaciones de la noción lockeana de substancia; finalmente, en el último capítulo, se describe la alternativa de Locke al materialismo de Hobbes y al substancialismo mentalista cartesiano sobre la identidad de las personas. Veamos cómo se encadenan estos temas en De la filosofía natural.

Countries employ various strategies to strengthen their soft power through education, public campaigns, mandatory service, and community involvement, essential for building a well-informed, prepared, and resilient citizenry. In Indonesia, the Civic Awareness for State Defence (CASD) program is designed to instil state defence awareness among citizens. This study introduces the Indonesia State Defence Index (SDI), a novel metric grounded in theoretical constructs such as national identity, nationalism, patriotism, and national pride. Differentiating from previous indices, our SDI employs advanced methodologies including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to enhance measurement accuracy. Unlike earlier approaches that used traditional aggregation methods, our use of PCA ensures the reduction of dimensions for each state defence indicator, thereby guaranteeing that only the intended dimensions are measured. Utilising data from the State Defence Survey conducted by the Indonesian Ministry of Defence from 1 March to 26 June 2024, we aim to measure and benchmark SDI values across Indonesian regions, thereby elucidating the civic awareness profile in the context of state defence. The refined SDI provides critical insights for policymakers, highlighting regions that require focused interventions to bolster state defence preparedness.
An overlooked contribution to Devonian studiesin the Holy Cross Mts: rediscovering Alexei Doronin’s 1893 article on the Kadzielnia Limestone
Authors: Racki Grzegorz
Published: October 2024

The unused Kadzielnia quarry in Kielce is the most publicly known geological site in the Holy Cross Mts and its geotouristic landmark (now the Kadzielnia Park and Reserve). The ‘rocky’ (coral) Kadzielnia Limestone, corresponding to a stromatoporoid-microbial mud mound, now treated as the Kadzielnia Massive Limestone Member of the Kowala Formation, has been studied for almost 200 years. This large bioherm is famous for its exceptionally diverse fossil inventory. The history of its geological exploration is insufficiently known, as exemplified by the overlooked contribution of Alexei Doronin, a master’s student at the Imperial University of Warsaw (IUW). In 1893, under the guidance of Professor Vladimir Amalitsky, he published a note on the age of the Kadzielnia Limestone. The paleontological basis for this discussion was the IUW student’s fossil collection, in which Doronin identified 28 taxa, mainly brachiopods (19 species). He was the first to recognize the occurrence of gastropods (e.g., Loxonema) and crinoids, and at least four species of brachiopods (e.g., Dielasma sacculus). In a comprehensive brachiopod-based stratigraphic discussion, Doronin emphasized the great similarity of the Kadzielnia assemblage to the Middle Devonian fauna of Western Europe, but also including the typical Upper Devonian species Rhynchonella cuboides. Ultimately, he advocated assigning a terminal Middle Devonian age to the Kadzielnia Limestone. Despite this erroneous dating, Doronin’s noteworthy but unnoticed contribution holds significant implications not only for further study of Kadzielnia but also for understanding the development of geosciences in the late 19th century in the Congress Poland (then part of partitioned Poland within the Russian Empire), including the academic role of the IUW. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the scientific career of Amalitsky’s talented pupil never truly began.

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: analizar el impacto de la pandemia de Covid-19 en el Sistema Agroalimentario Poblano, considerando los subsistemas de producción, abastecimiento y distribución, y consumo de alimentos. Metodología: se seleccionó el caso de la Central de Abastos de la Ciudad de Puebla como un Mercado Mayorista de Alimentos donde convergen los actores principales (productores, mayoristas o comerciantes y consumidores). Se aplicó el método comparativo de los resultados de dos encuestas realizadas en dicho mercado: en el año 2018 antes de la pandemia y en el año 2022 después de la crisis sanitaria. Resultados: mediante los datos obtenidos en las encuestas y las estadísticas disponibles sobre producción de alimentos, comercialización y precios de alimentos, se logró identificar que la mayoría de las afectaciones negativas de la pandemia se deben a cuestiones estructurales del sistema agroalimentario en el periodo neoliberal. Limitaciones: existe una diversidad de actores sociales (productores) que pueden ser entrevistados para un estudio ampliado. Conclusiones: se muestra la resiliencia de este sector debido al rol de los productores de la periferia rural de Puebla para compensar la disminución de alimentos en los mercados mayoristas. Esto se convierte en un foco de estudio para la creación de una política pública alimentaria que atienda los problemas estructurales y mitigue los efectos de contingencias como la mencionada pandemia ocurrida entre los años 2019 y 2022.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are prevalent conditions that often coexisting and significantly impact patient health. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, such as liraglutide, dulaglutide, semaglutide, efinopegdutide, and cotadutide, have shown promise in managing these conditions. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of these medications on metabolic and liver-related outcomes in patients with T2DM and NAFLD.
Methodology: A comprehensive analysis of multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to assess the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on body mass index (BMI), glycemic control (HbA1c), blood pressure, lipid profiles, and liver enzymes. The patient populations, interventions, and control groups were compared across these studies to derive comprehensive insights.
Results: GLP-1 receptor agonists significantly improved metabolic and liver-related outcomes. Patients on liraglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide showed marked reductions in BMI and HbA1c levels, indicating effective weight management and glycemic control. Improvements in lipid profiles were observed, with notable reductions in triglycerides and increases in high-density lipoprotein levels. Significant reductions in liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) were reported, particularly with efinopegdutide and cotadutide, indicating improved liver health. Gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, were common but generally mild and transient.
Conclusion: The study demonstrates that GLP-1 receptor agonists are effective in managing both metabolic and liver-related outcomes in patients with T2DM and NAFLD. These medications significantly reduce BMI, improve glycemic control and lipid profiles, and lower liver enzyme levels, indicating enhanced liver health. While mild gastrointestinal side effects were reported, the overall safety and efficacy profiles of these drugs make them promise therapeutic options. Future research should focus on long-term effects and optimal dosing strategies to maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize side effects.
