Vocational and Higher Education: The Role of Trust in the Formation of Educational and Professional Trajectory
Authors: Kuznetsov I. S.
Published: May 2024

The article compares the impact of student trust on their educational and career trajectories in vocational and higher education. Since 2015, in Russia, enrollment in upper-grade vocational education programs has exceeded enrollment in higher education programs, and increasingly, young people choose TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) institutions. Therefore, interest in studying various factors influencing the specific trajectories in TVET and higher education is growing. One of these factors is trust, which remains insufficiently studied. Trust has a positive effect on various aspects of education (academic achievements, satisfaction, loyalty to the university, etc.), which can directly or indirectly determine the choice of further educational and professional trajectory. The research data comes from a survey of Russian TVET and higher education students. Particularly in higher education, in contrast to TVET, student trust (in other students, teachers and management) influences their plans regarding educational and career trajectories after graduation. However, this influence depends on the subject of trust and on the intended life trajectory.

Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Rezaev A. V. , Stepanov A. M. , Tregubova N. D.
Published: May 2024

The breakneck expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in recent years has attracted the attention of higher education researchers. However, their curiosity often comes down to using specific AI tools, such as text and image generators, translators, and personal assistants in the educational process. This paper considers a broader question: what fundamental problems and challenges does the penetration of AI technologies into human lives originate for higher education? The authors offer a working definition of what it means to give/receive higher education in the age of AI. This definition identifies five critical characteristics of higher education: 1) the professor and the student continue to be in a subject-subject relationship and learn from each other; 2) higher education should prepare for life in conditions of “human-machine” interdependence; 3) these conditions imply choice in situations of uncertainty; 4) the spread of AI technologies brings enormous opportunities and 5) almost unpredictable dangers, risks and threats to humans. The authors consider general principles and specific problems associated with entering AI tools into society and higher education. They discuss the inevitability of the evolvement of “machine-machine interdependence” related to the development of autonomous agents. In conclusion, several theses and counter-theses summarize the article’s argumentation.
THE DEEP PHENOMENA OF PERSONAL SPIRITUALITY EDUCATION IN THE “PHILOSOPHY OF THE HEART” BY V.A. SUKHOMLINSKY
Authors:   M. Akmulla Bashkir State Pedagogical University, Andreeva Yu. V. , Boguslavskiy M. V. ,   Institute for Education Development Strategy
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Based on the social and philosophical analysis of V. A. Sukhomlinsky’s works, a pedagogical interpretation and reconstruction of the phenomenon of “heartfelt contemplation” is proposed, within the framework of which the joy of learning is considered as a creative methodology with extrapolation to Immanuel Kant and Ivan Aleksandrovich Ilyin’s works. An attempt was made to rethink the experience of the theory of learning and the practice of educational training by V.A. Sukhomlinsky. Research Methodology. I. Kant’s epistemology; I.A. Ilyin’s phenomenological method; theory of values and theory of education and training by V.A. Sukhomlinsky. Results. Heartfelt contemplation and pedagogical instruction are presented as a form and method of learning. Joy is recognized as the driving force (motive) for learning. It has been established that the joy of learning is a personally significant phenomenon of a growing personality, which reveals itself in a situation of success. Discussion. V.A. Sukhomlinsky’s pedagogy developed under the influence of I. Kant’s ideas. The philosopher’s collected volumes are still kept in the library of the Pavlysh School Museum. In V. A. Sukhomlinsky’s pedagogy, in the practice of his upbringing, not only I. Kant’s categorical imperative was actively involved, but also the ideas of the heart, close to I. Ilyin’s Christian tradition, specifically: education coming from the heart will always have a positive educational effect if it is not imposed from the outside but is connected to the internal freedom of the individual. The internal conscious freedom of a growing personality presupposes its responsibility for choice and educational results, which trains the individual’s ability to act according to their conscience, according to the call of their heart, and not out of fear of punishment. Conclusion. The deep phenomenon of education in the philosophy of the heart, V.A. Sukhomlinsky advocates the phenomenon of the joy of learning (the joy of studying), the value meaning of which is revealed in the manifestation of willpower aimed at overcoming educational difficulties and conscious actions on the path to success, in awakening feelings of love and conscience, and in the ability of the mind to console. Heartfelt contemplation as a form of learning places new emphasis in the philosophy of education and in practical pedagogy.

Published: May 2024

The article proposes a solution to the scientific-applied problem of automating decision support regarding the review of criteria and indicators used in the evaluation of state-supported scientific institutions. This topic is highly relevant for scientific and technical activities both in the conditions of martial law and during the restoration of the country in peacetime. To address this issue, an information technology for decision support by experts is proposed based on an integrative methodology that involves data structuring, support for expert judgments, and visualization of decision-making processes using methods such as approval voting, hierarchy analysis, analytical networks, computer ontologies, and elements of graph theory. A concise description of the integrative methodology and the cognitive process of solving unstructured multi-criteria problems supported by this methodology is provided. The functionality of the developed software toolkit is discussed using an illustrative example related to determining the criteria base for the evaluation of scientific institutions. Elements of the ontological evaluation framework, a hierarchical model for the decision-making task of selecting quantitative assessment alternatives, and the results of experts determining criteria weights for evaluating alternatives and conducting pairwise comparisons of alternatives are presented. The conducted research indicates that the developed methodology and software tools, which have previously been tested in law enforcement agencies, can also be applied in other structures of government administration. The obtained results, aimed at enhancing the efficiency of evaluating scientific institutions, can be utilized to support decision-making in various aspects of managing scientific and technical activities.
Increased heat stress for the population of urbanized areas against the background of global climate change
Authors: Sviatohorov Illia O.
Published: May 2024

The combination of high temperature and relative humidity of the atmospheric air creates heat stress, which has a serious impact on the environment, society and the health of the population in urban areas. Using the example of the city of Kyiv, the paper investigated long-term changes in heat stress depending on global climate changes. Averaged monthly long-term climate data of the urban environment were studied, starting from 1981, based on monitoring data using the Copernicus Climate Change Service toolkit and data from the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory. Predictive dynamics of temperature by conventional and wet bulb was investigated using OriginPro8 software. Data on the dependence of the frequency and unevenness of precipitation during the last decades are presented. The dependences of the value of the heat index (NI) on the temperature and air humidity for different observation periods were obtained. Over the past decade, Kyiv has seen a significant increase in average heat stress and the frequency of days and events with extreme heat stress. According to the obtained forecast estimates, in 2050 the heat index should increase by almost 30%, and the risk to the health of the population in the surrounding area and for workers in the open air will be interpreted as "high" levels at a relative humidity of 80%; "moderate" at a relative humidity of 50% and "low" at a relative humidity of 20%. The forecast temperature dynamics according to the conventional and according to the wet thermometer in the month of July at the end of different years is: 2021–2030 – 24.136°С and 26.24°С; 2030–2050 – 26.371°С and 28.918°С, respectively, with other equal conditions of the urban environment. An additional possibility of influence on the thermal dome appears already at the design stage, thanks to the variability of the placement of the projected buildings on the general plan, and the formation of individual buildings, in the correct area ratio green plantings to stone surfaces of facades and paving. The research data will be useful for the possible reduction of the size of the thermal dome over the city during the planning and reconstruction of the housing stock and the development of climate neutrality measures for the cities of Ukraine.
Energy efficiency of life support systems of buildings in «green construction»
Authors: Holiakova Iryna V. , Petrenko Viktor O. , Petrenko Anatolii O.
Published: May 2024

Purpose: develop an integrated air conditioning system with the environment, which will allow to reduce energy consumption due to lowering the temperature of air taken from outside from natural or artificial green areas. Methods: the basis of the solution to the task of developing an integrated system was the use of three well-known methods of greening of home territories: traditional, non-traditional and container. Because green spaces, in the warm period of the year, allow you to naturally reduce the parameters of the outside air, which are used for the needs of the building's ventilation and air conditioning systems. Findings: due to the complex use of all types of landscaping, it is possible to reduce the energy consumption for work of ventilation and air conditioning systems by reducing the temperature of air taken from the outside from natural or artificial green areas. Due to this, when developing integrated air conditioning systems, we can achieve: a decrease in the temperature of the supply air from the landscaping area, which will reduce not only the energy costs for cooling and humidification, but also the reduction of pollution of the supply air; when using trees and shrubs of certain breeds, which emit phytoncides and other beneficial secretions, in the outdoor air intake area, it will improve the quality of incoming air. Practical implication: the developed integrated air conditioning system with the environment will allow to reduce the influence of the outside air temperature on the indoor air temperature due to the integrated use of all types of greening. Originality: a review of literary sources showed that today the possibility of taking outside air from existing or artificially created green areas is not used in the design of ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Published: May 2024

Objective: development of an algorithm for evaluating the comprehensive ergonomic indicator of hand tools to reduce physical strain during their use.Materials and Methods. The algorithm development utilized the nomenclature of ergonomic indicators specified in DSTU 7895:2015 "Design and Ergonomics. Rules for evaluating the ergonomic level of quality of industrial products," which is categorized into two levels. The first level includes usability, control and monitoring convenience, product planning, serviceability, product hygiene, and safety. The second level involves physical and mental workload, fatigue, and compliance with anthropometric parameters.Results. An algorithm for evaluating the comprehensive ergonomic indicator of hand tools has been developed, consisting of five steps: compiling a list of ergonomic characteristics of hand tools according to production tasks, selecting a group of five or more experts, conducting preliminary assessment of the product's comprehensive ergonomic indicator, analyzing expert assessments, discussing strengths and weaknesses, construction, and making decisions regarding the choice of weight coefficients, verifying the obtained results, and developing recommendations for application conditions for a specific product. The distinctive feature of the proposed algorithm lies in establishing weight coefficients of the tool's characteristics considering safety, convenience, and working conditions. The results of evaluating the comprehensive ergonomic indicator of angle grinders are presented, allowing for the effectiveness of the developed algorithm based on feedback from study participants and providing recommendations for its further improvement.The novelty lies in establishing correlations between two levels of ergonomic indicators through weight coefficients, allowing for the consideration of the complexity of working conditions, safety, and convenience of hand tools.Practical value: сhecklists for processing score assessments based on established ergonomic criteria have been developed.

Aim: to examine the content of plant pollen and fungal spores in the air of Karakol city (Kyrgyz Republic) during the seasons from 2015 to 2017. Materials and Methods: in the course of the aerobiological study, samples containing bioparticles (plant pollen and fungal spores) were collected from the air. The samples were identified to the genus or family level, or, in some cases, to the species level, and quantified by visual counting in the field of view of a microscope. A Lanzoni volumetric pollen and spore trap was placed on the roof of a building within the city borders (Karakol) at a height of 13 m above ground level, away from park areas and industrial enterprises. A total of 630 atmospheric air samples were collected from April to September in 2015-2017. Results: the taxa Artemisia spp., Poaceae, Chenopodiaceae, and Pinus spp. exhibited the greatest abundance in the aerobiological spectrum of Karakol. Among the fungi, Alternaria, Cladosporium, and Fusarium were the most prevalent. The majority of fungal spores (60–76%) were observed during the period from June to August. The absolute maximum of pollen in the air coincided with high temperature values in the area. The highest concentrations of Artemisia pollen were observed from mid to late July, which corresponded to an increase in the average daily air temperature over the study seasons. The highest Artemisia pollen content in the air (61–72%) for the study seasons was observed in Karakol at air temperatures ranging from 28.3 to 33.4°C. High temperatures contribute to the release of spores into the atmosphere. It can be observed that allergenic species of fungi are accumulated in urban environments rather than in natural areas. Conclusion: the quantitative and qualitative profile of pollen from the dominant species of allergenic plants and fungal spores in the air environment of Karakol city was determined in order to contribute to the study of the aerobiological situation. It is important to determine the impact of meteorological factors on the concentration of plant pollen and fungal spores. This will allow for the prediction of the behavior of aeroallergens in a changing climate.

Published: May 2024

Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the esophagus. It is characterized by severe eosinophilic inflammation of the esophageal mucosa and the develop-ment of submucosal fibrosis. Clinically, it is manifested by swallowing disorders. The pathogen-esis is based on genetically determined disorder of immune response and barrier function of the esophageal mucosa. The diagnosis of esophageal eosinophilic infiltration is established by clinical manifestations and morphology, after excluding diseases that cause esophageal eosinophilia. The criterion for diagnosis is intraepithelial eosinophilic infiltration with 15 or more eosinophils per field of view at magnification ×400 (or ≥60 eosinophils per 1 mm2). Secondary tests, such as measuring serum total immunoglobulin E levels, assessing peripheral blood eosinophilia, and skin allergy tests, are of lesser importance. The primary treatment for this condition is proton pump inhibitors. If the effect is insufficient, topical steroids and dietary restrictions may also be prescribed. Treatment effectiveness is evaluated 6–12 weeks after initiation by analyzing symp-toms and performing esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy. Endoscopic dilatation is rec-ommended as a treatment option for patients experiencing severe dysphagia caused by esopha-geal narrowing. Biologic agents may also be considered as a possible treatment option. KEYWORDS: eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal dysfunction, intraepithelial eosinophilic infiltration, proton pump inhibitors, topical steroids, diet, endoscopic dilatation, biologic agents.

Published: May 2024

Subsistence agriculture in most cases is practiced on a limited space of land by farmers and it is dependent on human power that results into production of food consumed at household level, with little or no surplus for sale. A study about the contribution of subsistence agriculture to the livelihoods of the smallholder farmers in south Kivu province was carried out. A total of 303 smallholder farmers were randomly selected and interviewed to examine the effects of practicing subsistence agriculture on the socioeconomic status of the farmers. How the socioeconomic status attained by the farmers influenced their sustainable livelihoods was also assessed. Data were analyzed using means, frequency distribution, correlation, ANOVA and Chi square test. Thematic analysis was done on qualitative data. The farmers practiced shifting and primitive agriculture, intensive subsistence, and nomadic herding. There was a significant difference in the yields of crops grown (F = 0.0088; P = 0.05), while education and income status significantly affected the farmer’s socioeconomic status by practicing subsistence agriculture (P < 0.05). An average mean value of 3.12 for the components of the farmers’ livelihoods were exhibited, with the human capital mean value being highest (4.16) compared to natural, social and financial capital. The socioeconomic status attained had a significant effect on sustainable livelihoods of the farmers at P < 0.05. This implies that the smallholder farmers need to be trained by the agricultural extension workers better and sustainable methods of farming for higher crop yields. In addition, the Central Government though the Ministry of Agriculture, should avail improved seed inputs to the local community for better crop yields. All these will enable the smallholder farmers improve their socioeconomic status and at the same time attain higher sustainable livelihoods.

Published: May 2024

Los comités comunitarios del agua, que conforman una vasta red en todala zona de Cuetzalan, en la Sierra Norte de Puebla, son un ejemplo deque la gestión del agua puede rebasar la mera racionalidad instrumentaly la lógica mercantil, y puede apuntar, por el contrario, a una relaciónmetabólica y más armoniosa con la naturaleza. Por supuesto que estarelación no es totalmente pura, ni está exenta de contradicciones y ten-siones. Éstas se acentúan al momento de hacer frente, por medio de laimplementación de nuevas tecnologías, a las inclemencias del tiempo yla geografía, así como a la amenaza de despojo y destrucción que repre-sentan los proyectos extractivistas del capital. El siguiente ensayo buscadar cuenta de esta experiencia, sus tensiones, contradicciones y hacerescotidianos, sin otro objetivo que el de describir y subrayar la complejidaddel proceso que llevan estos comités, en lo que pensamos puede traducir-se y entenderse como una lucha por la reproducción de la vida, represen-tada en el agua, en contra de un sistema de muerte.Palabras clave:Agua, gestión comunitaria, territorio, comité de agua, Cuetzalan
"EL CAPITALISMO COMO RELIGIÓN" Y LA INSURGENCIA DE UNA DEVOCIÓN RELIGIOSA NEGATIVA
Authors: López Varela Guillermo
Published: May 2024

El culto a la Santa Muerte no es una devoción a la Muerte como horizonte irrevocable, sino paradójicamente, es un culto a la vida. Un desbordamiento creyente que revela las históricas condiciones de acumulación y despojo en la modernidad capital, patriarcal y colonial. La práctica religiosa de la “Niña Blanca” despliega un proceso que piensa desde, contra y más allá de la muerte banalizada, invisibilizada, naturalizada, y burocratizada por las técnicas del mercado. Dónde la devoción trama historias que remiten concretamente al presente de personas que han desplegado en sus vivencias esperanzas contra la forma institucionalizada de conceptualizar socialmente la muerte y del capitalismo como religión.
EL MONOPOLIO ESTATAL DE LA VIDA POLÍTICA. ENTREVISTA A LUIS TAPIA SOBRE EL DEVENIR DEL ESTADO PLURINACIONAL
Authors: Salazar Lohman Huáscar
Published: May 2024

A casi década y media de que Evo Morales llegase a la presidencia, el panorama político boliviano es sustancialmente distinto de aquel clima de efervescencia social que se vivió entre 2000 y 2005. Momento que habilitó un periodo histórico de transformación que permitió justamente la victoria electoral del Movimiento Al Socialismo (MAS), aunque las posibilidades, los deseos y las intenciones que desde la lucha se habían planteado iban más allá de esta victoria, se buscaba una modificación sustancial del estado de las cosas. El proceso de configuración del mando político de lo que ahora se denomina como “Estado Plurinacional”, contiene dos dimensiones centrales que condicionan la particularidad de la nueva síntesis estatal y las formas en que opera la dominación en ella. Por un lado, la situación debilitada y descompuesta de las organizaciones sociales populares como resultado de procesos internos, pero fundamentalmente de una política inducida desde el gobierno para desarticular y/o subordinar a estas estructura políticas. Por el otro lado –y gracias a lo anterior–, la manera en que se establecieron las alianzas del gobierno central con viejos y nuevos sectores de las clases dominantes del país y del capital transnacional, lo que permitió relanzar un renovado mando político en torno a los intereses de esos sectores. Esta entrevista a Luis Tapia, realizada en septiembre de 2018 en la ciudad de La Paz, escudriña diversas aristas del devenir de esta configuración del proceso político boliviano de los últimos años.
Proceso de paz en Colombia: posibilidades y límites para las luchas de las mujeres
Authors: Patricia González Diana
Published: May 2024

Este artículo busca mostrar cómo las mujeres colombianas desde distintos procesos sociales interpelaron al proceso de paz en Colombia (2012-2016) entre el Estado y la guerrilla de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP). Sin embargo, el proceso de paz reproduce las lógicas patriarcales, sectoriza a las mujeres y limita el despliegue de su potencia transformadora. Aun así, ellas buscaron ser parte de las negociaciones para trastocar el continuum de violencia que atraviesa el país. Construyendo una subcomisión de género entraron al proceso, produciendo encuentros entre mujeres y llevando algunas de sus propuestas al acuerdo final de paz.
Reflexiones sobre las luchas de las zapatistas ¿feministas?
Authors: Marcos Sylvia
Published: May 2024

Notas reflexivas para clarificar algunos de los desencuentros epistémicos entre la teoría y bases conceptuales que fundamentan los feminismos urbanos y/o del Norte geopolítico. Se reconocen sus variantes internas, y en este ensayo comparativo se exponen (presentan) propuestas que emergen desde las zapatistas. Estas luchas de mujeres zapatistas se enfocan simultáneamente en sus derechos como mujeres y en aquellos que comparten con sus pueblos, en la defensa de su tierra y territorio, luchando en contra del despojo causado por los megaproyectos. Estos reverberan con múltiples comunidades y pueblos “indígenas”. El desarrollismo capitalista es destructor y depredador no solo de su tierra, territorio, sino también de sus referencias epistémicas.
Epidemiología feminista. Una propuesta para pensar la determinación social de la salud
Authors: Guerrero Márquez Denisse
Published: May 2024

La epidemiología estudia los procesos de salud y enfermad de las poblaciones. Bajo una mirada feminista, esa tarea no puede dejar de lado las experiencias de quienes encarnan dichos procesos porque un conocimiento vertical favorece la reproducción de relaciones desiguales de poder. Por otro lado, es indispensable resistir al carácter individualista del capitalismo neoliberal y apostar por la construcción colectiva de conocimientos en torno a los determinantes sociales de la salud para hacer visibles las condiciones injustas y evitables contra las que se debe luchar para una vida menos precaria y más digna

Un compañero de viaje no ideológico: Jean Robert y el decrecimiento
Authors: Deriu Marco
Published: May 2024

Jean Robert representa una figura importante en la crítica a la economía y a la sociedad moderna y en particular en el debate sobre el post-desarrollo. En su investigación y reflexión ha profundizado sobre muchos de los temas que hoy están en el centro del debate sobre el decrecimiento. Muchos son los puntos de contacto, sin embargo, hay también especificidades y sensibilidades que vuelven el diálogo entre Robert y el decrecimiento todo menos que algo obvio. Un diálogo similar permite al contrario enfocar de manera más profunda el sentido de la propuesta del decrecimiento y al mismo tiempo comprender mejor la particularidad de la investigación de Robert.
El fantasma gramsciano: Gramsci, su efecto, su fuerza y su límite; una lectura del libro “Efecto gramsci: fuerza, tendencia y límite” de Dante Aragón
Authors: Mancha Martínez Erick
Published: May 2024

Antonio Gramsci es un autor que en donde quiera que se lea genera debate y polémica, no por nada es uno de los pensadores políticos más importantes del siglo xx. A pesar del paso de los años, el marxista italiano, ya sea por sus escritos o por su vida en general, siempre regresa como un espectro, tal como lo plateaba Derrida para el caso de Marx, y asecha la contemporaneidad como si el intelectual comunista fuera parte de ella y nos hablara desde la lucha que emprende la izquierda en tiempos actuales en todo América Latina y en particular en México.
Archivar desde la pérdida: militarización del territorio y economía política de las desapariciones intermitentes de niñas y adolescentes
Authors: Borzacchiello Emanuela
Published: May 2024

En medio de una creciente militarización del territorio mexicano, antiguas formas de violencias se cruzan con formas totalmente inéditas, tales como la desaparición intermitente de niñas y adolescentes, la cual es una problemática que se está expandiendo en diferentes zonas del país y que se inserta en una reconfiguración global de las violencias ejercidas contra las mujeres y los cuerpos feminizados (Federici, 2010; Gago, 2019). En este artículo, por un lado, gracias a una revisión documental de acervos archivísticos feministas, describimos la relación entre la creciente militarización del territorio y los diferentes tipos de violencia feminicida. Por el otro, a través de una investigación de corte cualitativo, llevada a cabo entre Ciudad de México y el estado de Guerrero, construimos archivos feministas útiles para documentar y atender formas inéditas de violencia feminicida –como las desapariciones intermitentes– vinculadas con la creación de una economía política de la desaparición basada en la desposesión de los cuerpos de las niñas y adolescentes para la acumulación de capital económico y el reforzamiento del estatus de masculinidades hegemónicas por organizaciones criminales o agentes estatales.
La ciudad del Occidente Medieval y la dinámica del capitalismo
Authors: Crivelli Minutti Eduardo
Published: May 2024

Siguiendo la hipótesis de que el capitalismo moderno floreció cuando las grandes ciudades fueron absorbidas por los Estados modernos, más capaces de controlar los territorios y transformarlos en espacios económicos coherentes, el presente artículo busca rastrear la relación entre los orígenes de las ciudades medievales occidentales y la dinámica del capitalismo, como punto de intersección de normas, flujos, infraestructuras y sujetos. Con ello se discute la idea de que el capitalismo industrial no supuso el fortalecimiento de la ciudad, sino que más bien la llevó a su virtual desaparición como sistema social institucional, relativamente autónomo, organizado en torno a necesidades y objetivos específicos, que hoy parecen retomarse en las luchas y resistencias urbanas.
