Published: April 2024

One of the most harmful bacterial diseases of soybean is bacterial blight caused by bacterium Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea. The pathogen can reduce soybean yield (up to 40 %), oil content and seed germination. To manage the pathogen damage, protection measures should be comprehensive, the most cardinal of which is breeding for resistance. To obtain resistant varieties, it is necessary to understand the diversity of the pathogen in the area and to breed against the most common and harmful forms of the pathogen. In this regard, the aim of the study was to characterize Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea strains circulating in the Russian Federation as casual agents of bacterial blight of soybean. 12 strains of the soybean bacterial blight pathogen were isolated from soybean plant parts and seeds grown in different regions of the Russian Federation. The isolated strains were identical to the reference strain Psg CFBP 2214 in fluorescence, colony morphology on King B medium and LOPAT test results (+, , , , , +) and formed an amplicon in specific PCR analysis of cfl (coronafacate ligase) gene. The strains had different virulence to Kasatka soybean plants, and the width of symptomatic zone when leaves were artificially inoculated ranged from 3.23 mm (in strain G7) to 6.53 mm in strain G4. Comparison of the obtained gltA and ITS 16S-23S rRNA gene sequences showed a high (95.898.8 %) identity to the bacterial blight pathogen strains deposited to NCBI Genbank, and phylogenetic analysis showed a low intra-strain genetic polymorphism. Analysis of the race composition of the strains showed that the race 4 was predominant in the Russian Federation.

Published: April 2024

Inflammation of mammary gland - mastitis - can be caused by various reasons, both physical and microbiological. Mastitis affects physical and technological quality of milk, growth of economic costs and increase in milk production cost, especially due to the use of antimicrobial drugs. The purpose of the research was to study antibacterial resistance of mastitis pathogens in cattle. The studies were carried out in the Oktyabrsky and Kamyshinsky districts, Volgograd region in 2019-2023. 1206 milk samples from Holstein- Friesian cows aged 4-7 years were examined using standard microbiological methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed on Mueller - Hinton agar using a modified Kirby - Bauer disc diffusion method. Based on the results of microbiological studies, microbial growth of 984 cultures ( S. aureus , Str. agalactiae , Str. uberis , E. coli , Klebsiella spp. , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Pasteurella multocida , Trueperella pyogenes and Mycoplasma spp. ) was identified . In the study, multiple resistance to the studied antimicrobial drugs was noted, for example, E. coli had resistance to all 9 drugs; Pseudomonas aeruginosa - to 8; Mycoplasma spp. - to 7; S. aureus , Str. agalactiae , Str. uberis , Klebsiella spp . and Pasteurella multocida - to 6; Trueperella pyogenes to 1 drug. Constant monitoring of resistance of bovine mastitis pathogens to antimicrobial agents contributes to a more effective selection of therapy for clinical mastitis.

Authors: Vladimirova Tatyana E.
Published: April 2024

The study is devoted to the pre-university stage of teaching foreign humanities students the Russian language. At the same time, special attention is paid to the cultural and educational environment, which remains insufficiently studied. The undertaken analysis of the classical, non-classical and post-non-classical stages (V.S. Stepin) in the development of science and education made it possible to reveal its synergetic, cognitive and linguodidactic potential. Consideration of the cultural and educational environment as the most important resource that activates the formation of a bilingual and multilingual linguistic personality led to the development of main directions in the organization of classes in the language of the specialty. The article reveals possible ways of practical implementation of the developed concept of cultural and educational environment in the process of preparing foreign students to study at humanities faculties of Russian universities.
Implicit Bilingualism in the Prose of Fazil Iskander
Authors: Bitokova Marina. V. , Kankulova Arina S.
Published: April 2024

The study examines the peculiarities of the manifestation of Fazil Iskander’s bilingualism in the works “Sandro of Chegem”, “Childhood of Chik” and “Sofichka”. They were chosen as the main research material because they represent the most complete “Abkhazian” metatext of the writer: the action takes place in Abkhazia, the subject of the image is often not only folk types of character, but also the traditional way of life, folk customs and rituals. Such immersion in the cultural context cannot do without language switching, which provides the effect of authenticity. The relevance of such research is dictated not only by the relentless interest of modern humanities in the phenomenon of poly- and bilingualism, but also by the need to attribute the work of the Russian writer of Iranian-Abkhaz origin: simultaneously with the popularity of his works and the reader’s interest in them, there is a shortage of scientific understanding of Iskander’s creative heritage. The purpose of our research is the peculiarities of the mechanisms of bilingualism in the work of Fazil Iskander. His bilingualism, due to the fact of his birth in the national republic and upbringing in a Russian-speaking environment, was reflected in the linguistic features of the works he created. These features include calcified speech formulas and etiquette phrases, the specifics of nominology (in particular, the nicknames that the writer uses), the traditions of Abkhazian oral eloquence. All these ways help Iskander to fill the novel and the cycles of stories with a poetic attitude to the depicted idyll of folk life, on the other hand, solves a lot of pragmatic writing tasks. The result of this article can be considered the definition of the peculiarities of Fazil Iskander’s bilingualism, which manifests itself at various levels - phonetic, word-formation, syntactic, as well as in orientation to the traditions of the Abkhaz oral narrative, the features of traditional eloquence.
Drevin and Slutsky: The Context of One Poem
Authors: Shafranskaya Eleonora F.
Published: April 2024

The study presents one of the analytical fragments of the Armenian text of Russian poetry. The corpus of “Armenian” texts includes the poem “The Builder of Paradise, the painter Drevin” by Boris Slutsky, which is outwardly unrelated to Armenia. The purpose of the article is to analyze the semantics of the poem’s context, in particular, its indirect connection with Armenia. The author solves a number of problems: characterizing the artistic work of Alexander Drevin and the role of Armenia in it, including writing an essay about the tragic biography of the artist; designation of Armenia’s place on the scale of values in the poetry of Boris Slutsky; characteristics of the Soviet image of paradise and its embodiment in art and literature. Using historical, cultural and biographical methods, the study reveals the Armenian subtext in the “non-Armenian” poem “The Builder of Paradise, the painter Drevin” based on the poems of Boris Slutsky and the archival file on charges of counter-revolutionary activities against Alexander Drevin (GA RF).
Intra-linguistic Diglossia as a Special Kind of Folk Bilingualism on the Example of the Lechitic Languages
Authors: Kobylko Jaroslaw
Published: April 2024

The interaction of several varieties of the same national language may, on the one hand, affect the dominance of the state language over ethnolects, which may eventually lead to their disappearance, and on the other hand, due to the evolutionary linguistic and cultural proximity, contribute to their preservation. The purpose of the study is to consider the form of existence of subsystems of the national language, namely languages characterized by limited territory and spheres of use and the official language. The Lechitic language community reflects a special kind of multilingualism - diglossia, this is the hypothesis of the study. The study analyzes the history of scientific research in the field of linguistic and cultural interactions between the Lekhite ethnoses, examines phonetic and grammatical similarities and differences of languages, as well as the centuries-old unity of the sociality of the Lechites. Using the example of the Kashubian regional language, common in the northern part of Poland, used in conjunction with the state Polish language, the intra-linguistic features of the Lechitic languages are determined, and the importance of the extralinguial approach for the of unofficial languages is emphasized. It is concluded that in the case of unbalanced bilingualism, the identified structures of the language pair, as well as the development of regionalism and cultures of ethical groups contribute to the preservation of unofficial languages.
Morpheme-Grammar Dictionary of Russian Verbs as a Means of Forming Intuitive Knowledge of the Language
Authors: Liakhnovitch Tatiana L. , Vashchekina Tatiana V.
Published: April 2024

The study describes the principles of designing a morpheme-grammar dictionary of Russian verbs within the framework of systemic linguistics. As a working hypothesis for the creation of the dictionary the concept of G.P. Mel’nikov was chosen according to which the Russian verb, in addition to the binary category of aspect, also has a gradual “quantitative” category, which he proposed to name the category of action degree (CAD). The formal indicators of the grammatical meaning of the CAD are the suffixes -ну-, -Ø-, -e-, -и-, -ыва- . G.P. Mel’nikov believed that taking into account the CAD and highlighting a single stem in the verb paradigm after restoring the actual morphemic composition of each verb form would explain many irregularities in verb inflection and derivation. The analysis of the functioning of the CAD in modern Russian has shown that it has a great applied significance. Suffixes of CAD turned out to be a convenient criterion for dividing Russian verbs into morphological classes, which in turn have made it possible to present Russian verbs in an orderly manner in a lexicographic description. The article reveals the principles of morphemic analysis for identification of root and suffix allomorphs, provides a brief overview of morphological classes of verbs, and explains the structure of the dictionary entry which is a matrix. Matrix notation allows us to compactly represent all suffix and prefix forms of the verb in a systematic way, makes it possible to graphically show grammatical and morphological information as well as etymological and word-formation relationships within the verb system. Morphemic matrices have a high explanatory potential because they offer rich material for studying the mechanisms of word formation and observing the peculiarities of morpheme combinations. Morphemic matrices significantly expand the potential vocabulary, contribute to the development of a feeling for language, and facilitate the acquisition of morpheme-semantic intuition.

Introduction: Ficus pumila and Phtirusa stelis are emerging as a source of natural products. Objectives: Identify the families of chemical compounds present in the species to be studied. Determine the antibacterial and antifungal activity of the crude extracts of F. pumila and P. stelis. Assess the toxicity of the crude extracts of the species against Artemia sp. Determine effects on Aedes aegypti larvae and. Methods: We evaluated the bioactivity of ethanolic, and isopropyl extracts obtained from the fruits, leaves and stems of both species were evaluated for antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, toxic activity against Artemia sp, A. aegypti larvae and phytochemical study. Results: We identificated flavonoids, tannins, and polyphenols in isopropyl and ethanol extracts of leaves, stems and fruits of F. pumila. We detected flavonoids, tannins, anthraquinones, triterpenes, and polyphenols in isopropyl and ethanol extracts of stems and leaves of P. stelis. We detected flavonoids, tannins, anthraquinones, triterpenes, and polyphenols in isopropyl and ethanol extracts of stems and leaves of P. stelis. F. pumila, the isopropyl stem extract demonstrated the most effective activity, since it exerted antibacterial activity, with inhibition halos being observed on B. subtilis (10 mm) and E. coli (7 mm), while the ethanolic extract of the leaves showed effect on Staphylococcus aureus (11 mm). The ethanolic extract of P. stelis leaves exhibited activity against S. aureus (10 mm), B. subtilis (10 mm) and that of stem extract showed similar results with inhibition zone of halos of 11 and 10 mm, respectively. The isopropyl extract of leaves also displayed activity against E. coli (15 mm). None of the extracts from F. pumila and P. stelis, showed any growth inhibitory effect against the pathogenic fungi. The majority of P. stelis extracts showed positive LC results against Artemia sp., with the ethanolic leaf extract exhibiting high toxicity (0,01 µg/mL). The isopropyl leaf extract also showed high toxicity (0,01 µg/mL), as did the isopropyl stem extract (0,02 µg/mL). The ethanolic and isopropyl extracts of F. pumila and P. stelis did not show toxicity to Aedes aegypti larvae. Conclusion: The plant species F. pumila and P. stelis, can be considered as sources of important and promising compounds for therapeutic research. These plants have shown potential in various studies, and further research could lead to the discovery of new treatments and therapies.
Board responsibility and corporate performance
Authors: Salin Ahmad Saiful Azlin Puteh , Ismail Zubaidah , Smith Malcolm
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between board responsibility and the performance of the company. It is the ultimate responsibility of the board to properly discharge their duty as stipulated by the laws and prohibit any unnecessary actions and decisions that are detrimental to the company (Salin, Ismail, et al., 2019). Board responsibility in this study is proxied by having a clear board function, formation of sustainability policy, directors’ access to information and existence of a board charter. This study uses archival analysis of the annual report of the top 500 publicly listed companies in Malaysia by market capitalisation. This study finds that only sustainability policies had a significant positive relationship with corporate performance which is consistent with many prior empirical findings (Orlitzky et al., 2003). No significant relationship was found between clear board function, directors’ access to information and the existence of a board charter with corporate performance. It can be concluded that board responsibility in terms of sustainability does influence the corporate performance of the company. This paper is relevant as it shows that by adopting a good sustainability policy and strategy, the company can improve overall managing efficiency and create long-term values which enhance the worth of the company.
Approximating solutions of general class of variational inclusions involving generalized αiβj-(Hp,φ)-η-accretive mappings
Authors: Gupta Sanjeev , Rathour Laxmi
Published: April 2024

The present research is an attempt to define a class of generalized
?i?j-(Hp,?)-?-accretive mappings as well as it is a study of its associated
class of proximal-point mappings. The generalized ?i?j-(Hp,?)-?-accretive
mappings is the sum of two symmetric accretive mappings and an extension of
the generalized ??-H(.,.)-accretive mapping [28]. Further the research is a
discussion on graph convergence of generalized ?i?j-(Hp,?)-?-accretive
mappings and its application includes a set-valued variational-like
inclusion problem (SVLIP, in short) in semi inner product spaces.
Furthermore an iterative algorithm is proposed, and an attempt is made to
discuss the convergence analysis of the sequences generated from the
proposed iterative algorithm. An example is constructed that demonstrate few
graphics for the convergence of proximal-point mapping. Our results can be
viewed as a refinement and generalization of some known results in the
literature.

In this paper, we establish sharp inequalities for trigonometric functions. For example, we consider the Wilker inequality and prove that for 0 < x < ?/2 and n ? 1, 2 + (?n?1 j=2 dj+1x2j+ ?nx2n) x3 tan x < (sin x/x)2 + tan x/x < 2 + (?n?1 j=3 dj+1x2j+ Dnx2n) x3 tan x with the best possible constants ?n = dn and Dn = 2?6 ? 168?4 + 15120/945?4 (2/?) 2n ? ?n?1 j=2 dj+1 (2/?/)2n?2j , where dk = 22k+2 ((4k + 6) |B2k+2| + (?1)k+1)/(2k + 3)! and Bk are the Bernoulli numbers (k ? N0 := N? {0}). This improves and generalizes the results given by Mortici, Nenezic and Malesevic.

Published: April 2024

This study is about degenerate Hermite Appell polynomials in three variables
or ?h-Hermite Appell polynomials which include both discrete and degenerate
cases. After we recall the definition of these polynomials and special
cases, we investigate some properties of them such as recurrence relation,
lowering operators (LO), raising operators (RO), difference equation (DE),
integro-difference equation (IDE) and partial difference equation (PDE).We
also obtain the explicit expression in terms of the Stirling numbers of the
first kind. Moreover, we introduce 3D- ?h-Hermite ?-Charlier polynomials,
3D-?h-Hermite degenerate Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials, 3D-?h-Hermite
degenerate Apostol-Euler polynomials and 3D-?h-Hermite ?-Boole polynomials
as special cases of ?h-Hermite Appell polynomials. Furthermore, wederive the
explicit representation, determinantal form, recurrence relation, LO, RO and
DE for these special cases. Finally, we introduce new approximating
operators based on h-Hermite polynomials in three variables and examine the
weighted Korovkin theorem. The error of approximation is also calculated in
terms of the modulus of continuity and Peetre?s K-functional
O. Spengler’s Cultural-Historical Concept in Modern Russian Historiography
Authors:   Kemerovo State University, Terekhov Oleg E. , Kirkin Anatoly A. ,   Kemerovo State University
Published: April 2024

The article examines the main trends in the analysis of the cultural and historical concept of the author of the “Decline of Europe” in Russian humanitarian thought of the late XX–XXI centuries. The authors of the article have studied the modern stage of Russian humanitarian thought, within the framework of which the process of transition from Soviet ideological and methodological monism to methodological pluralism in the study of O. Spengler’s legacy is taking place. Having studied the works of historians, philosophers, cultural scientists, sociologists, political scientists and other representatives of Russian humanitarian thought, the authors analyzed modern interpretations and modern perception of O. Spengler’s cultural and historical concept in the Russian humanities. The article proves that the crisis of the methodology of humanitarian cognition of Soviet Marxism opens up for domestic researchers completely new theoretical and methodological approaches to the interpretation of O. Spengler’s cultural-historical concept, which, as a result, will affect the development of modern Russian historiography.
Ressentiment Strategy in the Era of Ontological Uncertainty
Authors:   Kuban State Technological University, Kuzemina Elena F. , Vishnevskii Dmitrii S. ,   Kuban State Technological University
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of ressentiment, which has aroused interest in a number of humanities in connection with new interpretations of the crisis state of society. The socio-philosophical analysis of the strategy of ressentiment as an existential modus actualized in the era of ontological uncertainty is carried out. The subject of the study is the strategy of ressentiment, as a form of unexpressed feelings of hostility, vindictiveness, latent hatred and impotent envy that can reconcile an individual with the existing reality. The aim of the article is the philosophical analysis of this phenomenon and the definition of new facets, including the existential experience of the subject, aimed at accumulating destructive emotions that form the victim complex. The methodological basis of the study was the elements of historical and philosophical reconstruction, as well as the methods of hermeneutical and psychoanalytic analysis. Such a synthesis of approaches allows us to consider ressentiment from the perspective of its ontological and existential characteristics, and not only as a “fatal” strategy in the period of ontological crisis. Uncertainty in human existence becomes an increasingly relevant component of existential dread and, as a consequence, manifests itself in various forms of marginality. Thus, ressentiment, as an unhealthy form of aggression that generates impotence, becomes an urgent topic of philosophical reflection again. The authors conclude that overcoming the strategy of ressentiment is a worldview problem, where the revision of modern values is the most important step towards its solution.

Published: April 2024

The Sami are the only recognised small indigenous people in Europe. In Finland, the Sami face systematic barriers to education, employment and access to cultural resources. Discrimination against the Sami also manifests itself in the form of negative stereotypes and prejudices, which creates social and economic inequalities. This article is devoted to the study of the problem of preserving the national identity of the Sami against the background of the global practice of integration policies. Aim – to characterise the violations of the fundamental rights of the Sami indigenous people and to identify opportunities for overcoming their discrimination in the Finnish community. Results: the paper presents the criteria for the definition of indigenous people, and also outlines the rights enshrined in the world’s recognised institutions: the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, as well as ILO Convention No. 169. The work studies the problems of ensuring equal provision of services in the Sami language, violation of the right to vote in the Sami Parliament, the right of ownership of land, and others. Conclusions: discrimination against the Sami in Finland is a serious problem that includes denial of access to land and resources, as well as insufficient protection and recognition of their rights.
Migration Crime as a Security Factor of the Russian Society: Current State and Ways of Minimization
Authors:   Volgograd Institute of Management – Branch of the Russian Presidential Academy  of National Economy and Public Administration, Potapov Timofey N.
Published: April 2024

The article considers the main trends in the sphere of migration crime on the territory of the Russian Federation. In the modern world, the migration agenda has acquired one of the most important values both in the practical activities of law enforcement agencies, state authorities, public organizations, and in the field of scientific analysis of the causes and consequences of migration. The topic of migration, primarily its external component, is of particular importance for the countries of the global north, including Russia, due to the homogeneity of international migration routes along the “South-North” route. Large migration flows, among other risks, carry security risks, especially if migrant donor countries are socio-culturally different from recipient countries. Unfortunately, this is largely the situation in modern Russia, which, together with the relatively lenient migration policy of recent years, has led to a number of high-profile illegal offenses involving migrants (for example, the riots in Kotelniki and at the Sadovod market). This, along with the general trend towards an increase in crimes involving foreigners discussed below, makes the topic of migration crime and the revision of migration policy in general relevant for modern Russia.
Genesis and interpretation of the “precariat” concept in the countries of Western and Eastern Europe
Authors: Baranov N. V.
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to systematize a number of scientific works devoted to the conceptualization of the concept of the precariat, which received active theoretical elaboration at the beginning of the XX century. The relevance of the works devoted to the precariat is explained by the speeches of representatives of this social group in European countries at the beginning of the XXI century.

             One of the tasks of the article is to solve the “black box” G. Standing, which denoted the relationship of the newly formed social group with social processes outlined in the works of P. Bourdieu, J. Habermas and a number of other sociologists.

             The author also devotes a separate role to the analysis of the precariat by scientists in Western and Eastern Europe. Sociologists of Western Europe have focused on the designation of a newly formed social group in the socio-class structure of modern society.

             At the end of the article, the definition of two concepts, “precariat” and “precariatization”, which can contribute to the categorization of a social group in sociological theory, is given.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, cryptocurrencies showed different behavior. However, there are not many studies on the efficiency, in its weak form, of these three typical families of cryptocurrencies (Islamic, green, and traditional).
 
Purpose: This study compares the efficiency levels of Islamic cryptocurrencies (HelloGold), green cryptocurrencies (Cardano, NANO, Stellar, IOTA), and traditional cryptocurrencies (BTC and ETH) in the preceding period and during the geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2022.
 
Methods: This research will use Lo and Mackinlay's (1988) variance ratio methodology, and the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) model will be used.
 
Results: The results indicate that the Islamic currency HGT and the green currency XNO display significant information asymmetries, rejecting the random walk hypothesis for various time intervals. Similarly, other green currencies such as XLM, ADA, and MIOTA, as well as ETH and BTC, reject the hypothesis to varying degrees and time intervals. Furthermore, the Islamic cryptocurrency (HelloGold) was anti-persistent before and during the conflict. The digital currencies ADA and BTC are persistent in both periods. ETH is in equilibrium in the pre-conflict period and becomes persistent during the conflict (0.50 - 0.56), while MIOTA and XLM are persistent during the pre-conflict period and shift to equilibrium during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Finally, the XNO eco-currency shows the same anti-persistence characteristics during the two sub-periods.
 
Conclusion: These results highlight the complexity and dynamics of cryptocurrency markets, indicating that different digital currencies can exhibit different temporal behaviors regarding information efficiency and persistence or anti-persistence patterns.

Published: April 2024

The objective was to study the safety and efficacy of a personalized opioid-sparing pain relief protocol in the context of enhanced rehabilitation after advanced robot-assisted pelvic surgery.

Materials and methods. The prospective study included 19 patients who underwent surgery under combined thoracic epidural anesthesia/analgesia: general anesthesia was administered with propofol or sevoflurane/desflurane with ketamine + 6–8 ml/hour of 0.25% ropivacaine, in the postoperative period 0.125% bupivacaine was administered at a rate of 8–15 ml/hour. In the comparison group (n = 21), opioids were used as a component of general anesthesia and multimodal analgesia. Intra- and postoperative opioid consumption, pain severity, opioid-related side effects, and timing of postoperative rehabilitation were evaluated.

Results. In the study group, the median milligram equivalents of morphine were significantly lower than in the control group (103 versus 148 and 91 versus 404, respectively; p = 0.001 for both comparisons). The values of the numerical pain scale did not differ significantly between the groups. Side effects were significantly lower in the treatment group (26% vs. 62%; p = 0.026). There were significant differences in the timing of intestinal function recovery, initiation of regular diet and transfer from the recovery room in favor of opioid-sparing pain relief (p = 0.037; p = 0.046; and p = 0.023; respectively).

Conclusions. The use of a personalized opioid-sparing pain relief protocol in the context of enhanced rehabilitation of patients underwent the advanced robot-assisted pelvic surgery helped to reduce opioid consumption, side effects, and postoperative rehabilitation without affecting the severity of pain.

Tobacco is one of the biggest public health threats facing the world in general and Vietnam in particular. More than 8 million people around the world die from tobacco-related diseases. There are about 70 carcinogens in cigarettes, in addition to addictive, cytotoxic, mutagenic active ingredients,... Among them, Tar and Nicotin are the biggest dangers affecting people health in cigarette smoke. In the study, analysis of Tar and Nicotin content in 166 cigarette samples taken from 10 cigarette manufacturing companies in Vietnam was performed. Analytical results show that Tar content ranges from 1.67 to 15.1 mg/cigarette; Nicotin content ranges from 0.37 to 1.35 mg/cigarette. These results are all lower than the maximum allowable limit according to QCVN 16-1:2015/BYT, but there are some samples with Tar and Nicotin content close to the asymptotic level. This analysis result is also consistent with reports of Tobacco Institute Company Limited in recent years. Although the Tar and Nicotin contents in the samples do not exceed the maximum limit according to QCVN, they are much higher than other countries in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to propose appropriate routes to reduce Tar and Nicotin to ensure the health of users.

O Projeto de Extensão D.E.L.A.S, ofertado semestralmente, se dedica a atividades de extensão variadas, tendo sempre como escopo a promoção de direitos, educação, liberdade e acolhimento de mulheres e de suas famílias. Nesse sentido, o objetivo central para o segundo semestre de 2022, foi trabalhar a inserção e o treinamento do corpo discente no que tange às técnicas e aos instrumentos restaurativos, notadamente o círculo de paz, para multiplicação com o entorno. O projeto teve como metas específicas: a) promover o estudo e debates acerca de vias restaurativas e os métodos de sustentabilidade para as relações familiares; b) propor práticas reais de treinamentos para aplicar os conhecimentos adquiridos por meio de bibliografias especializadas, estudos de caso, diálogos e interlocuções com outros campos científicos; c) implementar um círculo de paz, não conflitivo, aberto à sociedade; d) multiplicar o conhecimento adquirido com a juventude do ensino médio da Escola Estadual após as práticas de treinamento, com o intuito de propor vias alternativas de solução de conflito para as relações familiares, especialmente em lares atingidos pela violência doméstica; e) contribuir com a meta 9 do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ) e para o alcance do Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) 5, visto que as práticas supracitadas auxiliam no enfrentamento de desafios, de forma a prevenir ou desjudicializar conflitos e, igualmente, empoderar meninas e mulheres. A metodologia aplicada para se alcançar tais objetivos foi a 'pesquisa ação' a partir do mapeamento preliminar da realidade do entorno; da integração dos membros envolvidos; da aplicação prática com a construção efetiva dos círculos de diálogo; e da avaliação dos resultados atingidos com a prática extensionista. Foi possível perceber a importância da prática desenvolvida, sua vinculação à meta 9 do CNJ, bem como ao ODS 5 da Agenda Global. Por fim, foi possível perceber a possibilidade de aplicação dos círculos de diálogos para o enfrentamento dos conflitos de natureza familiar, notadamente, a violência doméstica.
