Published: May 2024

The aim of our study was to determine the effect of potential anti-tumour agent benfluron on human leukemic cells MOLT-4 and elucidate the molecular mechanisms of response of tumour cells to this chemotherapeutic agent. It has been shown that the mechanisms of action of benfluron are complex, but the molecular pathways of the cytostatic effect have remained unknown and the present study contributes to their elucidation. In this work, benfluron reduced viability of the treated cells and induced caspase-mediated apoptosis. The programmed cell death was associated with activation of caspases 8, 9 and 3/7. Moreover, exposure of cells to benfluron resulted in accumulation of the cells primarily in late S and G2/M phases. The changes in the levels of key proteins show that benfluron provoked activation of p53 and induced phosphorylation of p53 on serine 15 and serine 392. The application of benfluron led to phosphorylation of Chk1 on serine 345 and phosphorylation of Chk2 on threonine 68 in the treated cells. Higher doses of benfluron caused phosphorylation of ERK1/2 on threonine 202 and tyrosine 204, whereas JNK and p38 kinases were not activated. In conclusion, benfluron induces apoptosis, cell cycle arrest in late S and G2/M phases, and activates various signalling pathways of the DNA damage response.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of different rates of macronutrients as a foliar applications on growth and yield performance of sweet corn cultivated in Rengam and Rasau soil series of Malaysia under greenhouse condition. The study comprised five treatments of macronutrient fertilization as a foliar application (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 % NPK). The plant height, stem width, leaf number, leaf area and cob height of sweet corn grown in Rengam soil series were significantly influenced by foliar macronutrient application. Notably, a rise in cob weight of sweet corns cultivated in Rasau soil series was observed at the 75 % rate, reaching 75 g, compared to 68 g for sweet corn grown in Rengam soil series. The foliar application of 100 % NPK resulted in the highest total leaf area at 252.92 cm2 compared to all other treatments. Regarding the cob fresh weight and dry matter content of sweet corn cultivated in the Rasau soil series, significant improvement noted with the 75 % NPK treatment, however plants grown in the Rengam soil series and treated with 75 % NPK as a foliar application did not exhibit significant effects. The concentrations of Fe and Mn in the corn stem from both soil series significantly increased with macronutrients foliar application. In the corn leaves grown in Rengam soil series, the concentration of nutrients was significantly influenced by the rate of NPK used as a foliar application in this study. Notably, the increased of Ca content in the treated leaves was significantly higher compared to control plants. Additionally, the contents of P, K, Cu and Zn in the corn flower of the plants in the Rengam soil series were significantly elevated in treated plants compared to untreated ones. Conclusively, based on this greenhouse study, it can be inferred that two foliar sprays of macronutrient solution at rates of 75 % and 100 % NPK greatly enhanced the growth, yield and nutrient contents of sweet corn cultivated in the Rengam and Rasau soil series.
Afghanistan’s raw materials policy regarding rare earth elements after the Taliban victory
Authors: Kamprowski Rafał
Published: May 2024

The Taliban victory in Afghanistan in 2021 has not only raised geopolitical concerns but has also sparked questions about the state’s policies and strategies concerning its rare earth elements reserves. The main objective of the presented article is to indicate how the current political change in Afghanistan may affect the raw material policy regarding the extraction of rare earth elements, taking into account geopolitical factors. Rare earth elements are a group of critical minerals that are of great importance to modern technologies, ranging from electronics and renewable energy to defence systems. Afghanistan is known to possess significant deposits of these valuable resources, which have the potential to play a crucial role in global supply chains, especially in the face of ongoing rivalry between the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America. The research problem of the considerations undertaken in this article is to assess the key challenges and opportunities in harnessing Afghanistan’s rare earth element resources after the Taliban’s return to power. The research conducted shows that despite having a significant amount of rare earth elements, Afghanistan lacks the infrastructure necessary to extract and process these valuable minerals. After the Taliban victory, the newly established government sees the potential benefit in extracting rare earth elements and is willing to align itself with China to exploit them.
Społeczność międzynarodowa wobec uchodźstwa afgańskiego – walka z zagrożeniem, kooperacja względem wyzwania
Authors: Potyrała Anna
Published: May 2024

Niniejsza analiza jest próbą udowodnienia, iż ruch uchodźczy (ale również migracyjny, powodowany względami ekonomicznymi), jaki pojawił się w następstwie wycofania sił amerykańskich i pozostałych sił sojuszniczych z Afganistanu, z jednej strony stanowi czynnik destabilizujący sytuację międzynarodową, szczególnie w regionie. Z drugiej jednak, determinuje intensyfikację aktywności kooperacyjnej państw (zarówno państw tranzytowych, jak i docelowych) i organizacji międzynarodowych. Rozważania poprowadzone zostały przy wykorzystaniu metod badawczych, charakterystycznych dla nauk społecznych, w szczególności nauki o stosunkach międzynarodowych. Z uwagi na aktualny charakter analizowanego problemu międzynarodowego, materiał badawczy stanowiły przede wszystkim źródła pierwotne (tj. raporty międzynarodowych rządowych organizacji pomocowych monitorujących skalę i przebieg zjawiska uchodźstwa afgańskiego, rezolucje Rady Bezpieczeństwa i Zgromadzenia Ogólnego ONZ, oficjalne dokumenty ministerstw spraw zagranicznych poszczególnych państw), ale również źródła wtórne w postaci doniesień medialnych.
Reżim talibów w Afganistanie wobec dóbr kultury. Casus posągów Buddy z Bamyan
Authors: Stachowiak Paweł
Published: May 2024

Celem artykułu było przeprowadzenie pogłębionej refleksji nad stosunkiem afgańskich talibów do kwestii dziedzictwa kulturowego i dóbr kultury. Wiele wydarzeń, przede wszystkim spektakularne zniszczenie posągów Buddy w Dolinie Bamiyan, w 2001 r., doczekało się stereotypowych interpretacji opartych przede wszystkim na argumentacji religijnej. Autor starał się ukazać bardziej złożoną genezę aktu kulturowego barbarzyństwa, jakim niewątpliwie była destrukcja zabytków z Bamiyan. Motywacja wynikająca z fundamentalistycznej interpretacji Islamu, jest bowiem tylko jednym z czynników, które doprowadziły do zniszczenia posagów. Należy uwzględnić również perspektywę polityczną, etniczną, kwestie polityki pamięci i wiele innych. Na ile był to akt destrukcji i to, co nastąpiło w okresie następnego ćwierćwiecza jedynie przejawem barbarzyńskiego fanatyzmu, na ile zaś zawierał w sobie element pragmatyzmu? Autor stara się przybliżyć do odpowiedzi na te nieoczywiste pytania.

The present study explores Turkish learners’ approaches toward digital writing and how digital writing contributes to their language learning. For this purpose, we recruited 21 international students from 16 countries, 10 males and 11 females, who attended B2-C1-level Turkish language classes at the Akdeniz University Turkish Language Teaching Center in the 2021-2022 academic year. We recorded and transcribed the data collected through face-to-face interviews with a semi-structured interview form consisting of 6 questions. The data were then coded to generate themes, and the findings were grounded on the interpretation of these themes. Accordingly, the results uncovered that all participants engage in digital writing and mostly utilize WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, YouTube, and Twitter as digital writing platforms. Moreover, they were found to usually mind proper spelling and punctuation and tend to use the T9 typing system in digital writing in Turkish. We also discovered that participants find auto-correction useful and sometimes misspell vowels, consonants, and longer words/consecutive suffixes due to differences between spoken and written languages. They particularly thought that digital writing contribute to their learning of Turkish. Overall, we comprehensively discussed the findings and raised some recommendations for future research.

Published: May 2024

Online counseling, an intervention that has evolved alongside technological advancements and become integrated into individuals' lives, has gained even more popularity. At this point, it is essential to investigate the acceptance and usage of online counseling by mental health professionals. This research was conducted with 35 mental health professionals (psychologists and counsellors) who provide both online and face-to-face counseling. In the study, Q methodology was used to better understand the subjective thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs of participants to understand their behaviors regarding the acceptance and use of online counseling according to the UTAUT model. As a result of the research, it was found that factors related to the acceptance and usage of online counseling were grouped into two factors for mental health professionals. The research findings indicate that mental health professionals are grouped into two factors regarding factors related to the acceptance and utilization of online counseling. It has been observed that performance expectations and facilitating conditions influence the acceptance and utilization of online counseling for participants in Factor 1, while effort expectations and facilitating conditions influence the behavior of acceptance and utilization for participants in Factor 2. Additionally, it was found that mental health professionals in Factor 1 have a more positive attitude towards online counseling, whereas those in the second group prefer face-to-face counseling over online counseling.

Motor imagery as a potential tool to alleviate choking under pressure in sports performance
Authors: Li Zhi , Moritz Sandra E. , Liu Hairui
Published: May 2024

Choking under pressure is a popular issue in sports, having adverse effects on athletes’ performance. It can occur for various reasons, such as debilitative anxiety, increased fear of failure, lack of confidence, lack of preparation, and the presence of distractions. This review investigates the utility of motor imagery as an intervention for choking. Motor imagery, a cognitive process encompassing mental rehearsal of physical movements without physical execution, has been demonstrated to enhance motor skill acquisition and execution among athletes. Beyond its efficacy in enhancing motor skills, motor imagery imparts psychological advantages to athletes by reducing anxiety and bolstering confidence, both pivotal factors in averting performance breakdowns under pressure. In summary, motor imagery holds promise as an intervention for alleviating choking under pressure in sports performance. Nonetheless, further investigations are imperative to ascertain optimal approaches for integrating motor imagery into sports training and competitive settings.

Published: May 2024

This study explored the synthesis of potash alum from disposed aluminum cans for water purification. The effect of the labels on the cans on the yield of alum was also investigated as it is economically beneficial for industry. Single crystals of potash alum were obtained and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Through a series of jar test experiments, the characterized alum samples were used to purify river water samples. Some of the parameters investigated include; pH, turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The results show that the alum samples were able to reduce the turbidity by 100 % and substantially decrease the TSS, TDS and COD over the five-hour period of study. However, there were slight increases in acidity and EC which could be corrected by other methods
Experimental research on influence of curing environment on mechanical properties of coal gangue cementation
Authors: Wu Haifeng , Shen Jianjun , Liu Yin
Published: May 2024

To investigate the impact of curing environments on the mechanical properties of coal gangue cementation (CGC), various curing methods were established, including standard bag curing, standard curing, natural sealing curing, natural curing, water curing, and varying curing ages. By examining the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and stress–strain relationship of CGC by applying axial loads, the influence mechanism was analyzed in terms of both physical and chemical reactions. Furthermore, a mechanistic structural model was established to illustrate the impact of the curing environment on the mechanical properties of CGC. The primary substances and reasons affecting the mechanical properties of CGC were analyzed through the use of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Evaluation of influence factors on CGC mechanical properties by grey correlation degree. The findings indicate that curing temperature, humidity, and carbonization are the principal factors influencing the UCS. Maintaining constant temperature and humidity while isolating CO2 is conducive to improving the UCS. The hydration products, such as needle-like ettringite and white fibrous calcium silicate hydrogel, fill the internal voids of CGC and are the primary substances affecting UCS. The hydration products formed during standard curing and natural curing of CGC can undergo carbonation with CO2 to form CaCO3, which interacts with ettringite and hydrated calcium silicate to provide strength support for CGC. However, beyond a certain age, CO2 will progressively diminish the UCS; the larger the contact area and the longer the exposure time to the gel materials in CGC, the faster the UCS decreases.

Published: May 2024

While ipsilesional cortical electroencephalography has been associated with poststroke recovery mechanisms and outcomes, the role of the cerebellum and its interaction with the ipsilesional cortex is still largely unknown. We have previously shown that poststroke motor control relies on increased corticocerebellar coherence (CCC) in the low beta band to maintain motor task accuracy and to compensate for decreased excitability of the ipsilesional cortex. We now extend our work to investigate corticocerebellar network changes associated with chronic stimulation of the dentato-thalamo-cortical pathway aimed at promoting poststroke motor rehabilitation. We investigated the excitability of the ipsilesional cortex, the dentate (DN), and their interaction as a function of treatment outcome measures. Relative to baseline, 10 human participants (two women) at the end of 4–8 months of DN deep brain stimulation (DBS) showed (1) significantly improved motor control indexed by computerized motor tasks; (2) significant increase in ipsilesional premotor cortex event-related desynchronization that correlated with improvements in motor function; and (3) significant decrease in CCC, including causal interactions between the DN and ipsilesional cortex, which also correlated with motor function improvements. Furthermore, we show that the functional state of the DN in the poststroke state and its connectivity with the ipsilesional cortex were predictive of motor outcomes associated with DN-DBS. The findings suggest that as participants recovered, the ipsilesional cortex became more involved in motor control, with less demand on the cerebellum to support task planning and execution. Our data provide unique mechanistic insights into the functional state of corticocerebellar-cortical network after stroke and its modulation by DN-DBS.
LIF–STAT signaling in decidual cells: a possible role in embryo implantation and early pregnancy
Authors: Wu Hsien-Ming , Chen Liang-Hsuan , Chiu Wei-Jung , Tsai Chia-Lung
Published: May 2024

In this study, we investigate the effects of miRNA-138-5p and probable G-protein coupled receptor 124 (GPR124)-regulated inflammasome and downstream leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF)–STAT and adhesion molecule signaling in human decidual stromal cells. After informed consent was obtained from women aged 25–38 years undergoing surgical termination of the normal pregnancy and spontaneous miscarriage after 6–9 weeks of gestation, human decidual stromal cells were extracted from the decidual tissue. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) with microRNA (miRNA) between cells have been regarded as critical factors for embryo–maternal interactions on embryo implantation and programming of human pregnancy. MicroRNA-138-5p acts as the transcriptional regulator of GPR124 and the mediator of downstream inflammasome. LIF-regulated STAT activation and expression of integrins might influence embryo implantation. Hence, a better understanding of LIF–STAT and adhesion molecule signaling would elucidate the mechanism of microRNA-138-5p- and GPR124-regulated inflammasome activation on embryo implantation and pregnancy. Our results show that microRNA-138-5p, purified from the EVs of decidual stromal cells, inhibits the expression of GPR124 and the inflammasome, and activates the expression of LIF–STAT and adhesion molecules in human decidual stromal cells. Additionally, the knockdown of GPR124 and NLRP3 through siRNA increases the expression of LIF–STAT and adhesion molecules. The findings of this study help us gain a better understanding the role of EVs, microRNA-138-5p, GPR124, inflammasomes, LIF–STAT, and adhesion molecules in embryo implantation and programming of human pregnancy.

Facing the Defeat of Prussia – the Actions of Lithuanian Governorates at the Turn of 1806–1807
Authors: Godek Sławomir
Published: May 2024

In the autumn of 1806, in view of the defeat of Prussia in the clash with France and the approach of Napoleon’s army to the borders of Russia, the Russian authorities became concerned about the loyalty of their Polish subjects. The authorities of the Lithuanian governorates took preventive measures to preclude an uprising movement and preserve public peace. In particular, attempts were made to seal the border. More careful attention was paid to the movement of people, and care was taken to ensure that travellers did not bring anti-government writings into Russia. Intelligence activities were intensified to monitor the disposition of the population. Emperor Alexander I ordered that any insurrectionary uprising be vigorously suppressed by the harshest means, including the use of the army. At the same time, the authorities tried to avoid anything that could fuel popular discontent. By the Emperor’s decision, the use of ukases in the courts, which, in the opinion of the Lithuanian nobility, hindered the conduct of judicial proceedings, was stopped. Attempts were made to introduce strict discipline in military units to prevent abuse of the civilian population. A police force was put on alert to put suspicious people arriving from abroad under surveillance. Signals of contact between Lithuanian residents and the French army were investigated.
The Many Bodies of the First Statute of Lithuania
Authors: Čižauskas Karolis
Published: May 2024

The category of the body is the main object of this study. The paper hopes to further examine the “corporal” theme in the research of the history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania while simultaneously aiming to outline the countours of the concept. Being a legal codex, The First Statute of Lithuania (1529) was chosen as a foundational text for this study since it pertains to various aspects of both public and private life. Albeit not exhausting all possible interpretations, three bodies were examined more closely: that of a nobleman, of the grand duke, and of the state (the Grand Duchy) – each more abstract than the former. First of these can be associated with terms of status and honour, the second functions as if by extensions of ducal officers and medias, while the third is characterized by the matters of indivisibility, inalienation and membership. Moreover, three different properties (or faculties) were attributed to the body: epistemological (via senses and body marking), agential (as a mean to excercise one’s will and freedoms), and individualizing (as in the problem of belonging).
Notaries Public of Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the Crossroads of Sixteenth Century: From the Imperial Notary Ordinance of 1512 to the Second Statute of Lithuania
Authors: Ilarienė Inga
Published: May 2024

The Imperial Notary Ordinance, which began being written in the late fifteenth century, not only further cemented the statements set forth in Ars notariae, but also fundamentally transformed the status of notariat, declaring the notariat a governmental institution. According to the opinion of Notariat experts, this Ordinance that was declared in 1512 is fundamental for having the main professional characteristics of the contemporary Latin notariat. This similarity also outlines the continuity of modern European notariat.Lithuanian society in the beginning of the sixteenth century lived with a notariat that was not fully developed, since, only after receiving the right from the Pope in 1501, public notaries began being nominated in the Vilnius diocese. During the first half of the sixteenth century, the development of notariat was visible particularly in the dioceses of GDL. This was to be expected, knowing that the notariat was established in GDL through the Church. Notariat developed in the secular government only as much as there was cooperation with and participation of diocesal notaries public, by serving in the office of a ruler or a voivod. We can observe a tendency in the beginning of the sixteenth century of secularization of the notaries public – they would switch to service in a purely secular office after leaving the clergy and/or becoming supporters of the Reformation. At the same time, similarly to Poland, in the later half of fifteenth century and onwards, Lithuania saw the rise of notaries with apostolic mandate, which declared the primacy of the Pope’s rule. We think, that the Notary Ordinance of 1512, could have had impact (negative?) to the further development of GDL notariat. Firstly by raising the questions of political loyalty and personal choice in regards to which highest authority to obey – the Pope’s or the emperor’s, ecclesiastical or secular.During research we acknowledge that both the First and the Second Statutes of Lithuania could have been partially influenced by the Notary Ordinance by notaries public participating in their conception. Thanks to them, articles regarding the Roman law have been created. The removal of Latin language as the written language of the courts by the Second Statute was not beneficial to the Roman notariat and a serious challenge to the notaries public and to the further development of notariat in GDL. The New Statute became an opportunity for the secular notariat to form as a legal institute. However, for it to happen there had to be further political decisions in support of it, there had to have been the right conditions and enough time to prepare qualified specialists and for the society to be prepared to trust those specialists.

A nation's economy remains healthy and progressive because of the proper functioning of commercial and other business arrangements, transactions, and settlements. However, suppose such agreements are not concluded in the desired manner and result in failure. In that case, efforts are required to keep the corporation going with novel arrangements of liability and employment and re-negotiation between financiers. Nevertheless, the drowning company can resort to liquidation if survival becomes unworkable. The legislature and the judiciary have endeavoured to comply with and meet the objectives of the IBC. Adopting the new slate doctrine in the legal framework is one such step towards reaching the goal of the code. The code has facilitated the applicant's resolution by various means and balanced the corporate debtor's concern. The researcher has analytically analyzed this principle owing to its significance. In the initial phase, the research shed light on the doctrine of a fresh slate while referring to relevant legislative provisions and other jurisdictions. After that, the researcher explores the judicial wing's recognition and development of the doctrine. Principally, the researcher examines the status and management of disputed claims. In the latter segment, the researcher indicates the limitations and practical issues attached to the doctrine. Lastly, the researcher would make some suggestions that can be adopted and may aid in strengthening the Indian insolvency regime.

Background: Ventricular arrhythmias are a leading cause of sudden death. The objective of this study was to characterise the results of patients with ventricular arrhythmias refractory to standard medical management, undergoing Video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac sympathetic denervation (VAT-CSD) during 2012–2022 in Cali, Colombia. Methods: This was an observational retrospective study, using the Institutional General Thoracic Surgery Database for patient identification and retrospectively reviewing the clinical charts for data description and analysis. Results: Clinical records of 19 patients who underwent VAT-CSD for ventricular arrhythmia were analysed. The patients were predominantly male (73.7%) with an mean age of 62 years. Ischaemic heart disease was the main underlying condition (52.6%); all individuals had a diagnosis of heart failure, with comorbidities such as hypertension (63.1%), acute MI (57.8%) and diabetes (26.3%) also present. The procedure was performed bilaterally in 89.4% of cases and was successful with minimal perioperative complications. Postoperative follow-up showed improvement in symptoms, including a significant reduction in the number of ICD shocks and emergency department visits. Conclusion: VAT-CSD is a viable, safe and palliative therapeutic option for patients with ventricular arrhythmias who have not responded to conventional treatments, achieving a significant decrease in symptoms with low mortality and perioperative complications.
A justiça e A queda

Published: May 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo o estudo do pensamento do escritor e jornalista argelino Albert Camus no que se refere à ideia de justiça, procurando responder à pergunta: sobre qual justiça falava Camus? Situado, portanto, na interface entre as subáreas do Jornalismo e da Literatura, o estudo buscou, em A queda e em quatro de seus escritos jornalísticos no jornal Combat, elementos que, seja pela ficção romanesca ou pelo ensaísmo jornalístico, fornecessem indícios que possibilitassem a interpretação. Logo, foi feita uma reconstituição de aspectos fundamentais da biografia de Camus por meio de uma extensa pesquisa bibliográfica a fim de descrever de modo fiel sua trajetória de vida. Depois, foi feito esforço de, em face às questões históricas que enfrentou durante sua cronologia, apresentar marcos temporais importantes (como a invasão nazista à França) e o papel que ele desempenhava como sujeito que intervinha no debate público, isto é, intelectual público. Como resultados, tem-se que Camus abordava, em seus escritos periodísticos, a questão da justiça sob dois vieses distintos: (1) como reparação histórica às injustiças socialmente presentes em determinado momento e (2) como responsabilidade em relação à coletividade — percebe-se que, em ambas situações, o caráter público é denominador comum. Isso entrecruzado com o romance em questão traz a lume que Camus elabora sutis críticas em meio à narrativa enquanto, ao mesmo tempo, formula uma nova reflexão, no entanto, de caráter individual. Em outras palavras, em A queda, o escritor suscita, através de diferentes representações, apreciação sobre a relação do indivíduo com a injustiça social que se tem espraiada pela vida pública.
El conflicto hispano-francés y el papado: rivalidad y emulación en el espacio mediterráneo (1474-1522)
Authors: Fernández-de-Córdova Álvaro
Published: May 2024

Frente a la interpretación tradicional que reduce la rivalidad hispano-francesa a una sucesión de enfrentamientos militares originados durante el reinado de los Reyes Católicos, el presente trabajo ofrece una lectura más compleja de los fenómenos de emulación/competencia y admiración/seducción suscitados entre ambas monarquías durante la primera fase de las guerras de Italia. Gracias a una relectura de las fuentes diplomáticas y la producción propagandística, se comprueba en qué medida los anhelos de reforma religiosa, la defensa frente a la expansión otomana o la recuperación del Oriente cristiano condicionaron las percepciones y justificaciones de ambos poderes, que necesitaban de la Sede Apostólica para legitimar sus aspiraciones mediterráneas y su liderazgo en la Cristiandad. Sin embargo, los medios empleados y la sinergia con el papado marcaron ciertas diferencias que explican el ascenso de la monarquía hispánica en los inicios de la modernidad.
«Les tienen el pie a la garganta». El «diplomático» cautiverio de Diego Brochero en Venecia (1583)
Authors: Rodríguez-Plaza Jesús
Published: May 2024

En 1583, las galeras de Candía apresaban al corsario de la Orden de Malta, Diego Brochero. Trasladado a Venecia, su cautiverio pronto se convertiría en un conflicto diplomático de primer nivel, implicando a actores como el rey de España, el sultán turco, el papa o el afamado mercader Simón Ruiz quien, precisamente, conservó en su archivo correspondencia con información inédita sobre el cautiverio de su familiar. En este artículo proponemos un análisis de los antecedentes, desarrollo y consecuencias de este suceso, del conflicto diplomático desencadenado por ello y de su relevancia a la hora de conformar la personalidad del corsario, lo que viene a arrojar más luz sobre la biografía del personaje y el estado diplomático de las relaciones mediterráneas.
THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN UKRAINE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CLASSICAL POLITICAL ECONOMY IN THE LATE XVIII – EARLY XX CENTURY

The purpose of the work. The article describes and analyses the achievements of such figures as S. Desnitsky, M. Bałudjanski, V. Karazin in the process of formation and development of Ukrainian economic thought in the period of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is analysed that the most significant influence on the system of economic views of these Ukrainian researchers was made by the concepts of representatives of classical political economy. Methodology. To achieve this goal, both general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition were used, in particular scientific abstraction, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis – to study the sources, provisions and hypotheses expressed by S. Desnіtsky, M. Bałudjanski, V. Karazin, formed under the influence of the views of the classic of political economy A. Smith. Results. The article analyses the views and ideas of S. Desnіtsky, M. Bałudjanski, and V. Karazin in historical, evolutionary, theoretical and practical aspects. It is determined that the economic views of these Ukrainian scholars are mainly based on the theoretical foundations of classical political economy, in particular, on the concepts of A. Smith. Scientific novelty. It is substantiated that S. Desnіtsky's research was focused on the category of "property" and the analysis of property relations; M. Bałudjanski in his manuscripts approved the conceptual apparatus of political economy, studying the market mechanism, situation and competition in the field of agricultural production; V. Karazin, being a supporter of the labour theory of value, developed an agricultural programme, implemented his projects and inventions in agriculture, developing also Ukrainian technical thought. Practical Significance. The study found that theoretical scholars served the interests of resource owners, associated wealth with virtue, justified the existence of landowners and their exploitation of hired labour, and saw laziness, disinterest in labour results, and the inability to organise their work responsibly and reasonably as the main cause of poverty. For example, M. Bałudjanski and V. Karazin saw the cause of poverty of the common people of Ukraine in drunkenness and laziness, which led to moral and material impoverishment; they considered their main task to be to help wealthier peasants who had some starting capital; they received certain subventions from governments.
