Ukrainian Diaspora in the Struggle with Russian Falsifiers of the History of Ukraine after World War II
Authors: Tymoshyk Mykola
Published: September 2021

The article is based on the author’s processing of the archives of Ukrainian emigration during his research internship in Great Britain. His task was to find out and clarify the means and ways used by the Ukrainian diaspora in its struggle against Moscow’s information and propaganda offensive against the Western community’s positive resolution of the “Ukrainian question” after World War II.That was the time when the Russian governmental machine intensified its counter-propaganda work in the Western direction. Under those conditions, the world continued to perceive Ukrainians as part of the “great Soviet people” who unanimously built communism, and Ukraine itself as only a formal state declaratively writing its name in UN documents as a country with a significant contribution to the victory over fascism.Under the conditions of statelessness, Ukrainian public institutions abroad replaced state embassies and official representations and took on the responsible task to constantly plant the Ukrainian information field.The Ukrainian diaspora used the following means in its struggle against Moscow’s information and propaganda offensive against the Western community’s positive solution of the “Ukrainian question”.In particular, it was a matter of checking the presence of materials on Ukrainian studies in the main libraries of the countries where Ukrainian emigrants lived compactly. Foreign authors’ interpretation of mentions was said about Ukraine and Ukrainians in those few texts was analyzed.Representatives of Ukrainian public organizations established personal contacts with directors of libraries in cities with a compact residence of Ukrainians. The goal was to create Ukrainian book and press departments there. In 1948, a centralized network was established in Munich to provide major foreign libraries with Ukrainian publications.The successful breakthrough of the Moscow information blockade on the issue of the Holodomor of 1933 happened due to publication of a series of English-language brochures on this issue at the expense of the Ukrainian Youth Association abroad.
Not for Sale, but for Own Need”: Trade of the Volhynian Gentry in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Second Half of the 16th — First Half of the 17th Century
Authors: Huliuk Ihor
Published: September 2021

The article analyzes socioeconomic processes in the early modern Europe, in particular trade in its separate regions. It considers the classical economic model focused on the industry and agriculture, which Eastern and Western Europe followed in their multifaceted development. It studies legislation, namely the Second Lithuanian Statute and the Sejm Constitutions for assessing the involvement of gentry representatives in commerce. It indicates that the activity of the Volhynian gentry in the internal trade of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was due to both external changes in the market, primarily the demand for products from Eastern Europe, and the tendency observed on the continent when running a household became a business that made incomes grow. It analyzes general criticism in the intellectual circles of the trade activity of the gentry as such, which could lead to a certain deterioration of traditions. Man-knight and man-merchant intersections in the society of that time were acceptable if a nobleman traded goods from his own estates and could prove it with an oath.The article also investigates key areas of trade of the Volhynian gentry in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on the basis of documentary material of court books of the 16th–17th-century Volhynia and previously published sources of economic nature. It studies main range of goods sold and bought by the representatives of the elite, observes the participation of the Volhynian gentry in trade operations with the core centers of the Polish-Lithuanian economy, and their involvement in local fairs and tradings. It shows the role of intermediaries, first of all representatives of the Jewish community and peasants from the gentry fоlwarks, in the trade enterprise of the gentry.
The Philosophy of the “Late” Era of the UkrSSR: Specificity of Criticism of Bourgeois Theories (a Case Study of the Books by Larysa Levchuk)
Authors: Hrabovska Iryna , Hrabovskyi Serhii
Published: September 2021

The article examines the specifics of philosophical criticism in the period of the “late” UkrSSR Western concepts of philosophy, psychology, and arts using Larysa Levchuk’s books “Art in the Struggle of Ideologies” and her “Psychoanalysis: From the Unconscious to ‘Fatigue of Consciousness’”. The specific involvement in the Soviet philosophical discourse of the theoretical achievements of psychoanalysis in all its forms is shown, as well as the acquaintance of the Soviet reader with the ideas of the cult artists of the West with the help of these books. Among the representatives of “neorealism”, which played a significant role in the development of art, especially in Italy and France, L. Levchuk focuses on the works of R. Guttuso, C. Levy, V. Pratolini, R. Rossellini, V. de Sica, A. Fougeron, and others.The book “Art in the Struggle of Ideologies” was published in 1985, when at the official level it was not so much about “perestroika” but “acceleration of socio-economic development”. The book is written from the standpoint of “philosophical socialistic realism”, when the presentation and conclusions are adjusted to the externally set ideological pattern, although it differs in professionalism and breadth of coverage. The author’s application of the theory of psychoanalysis in the study of the phenomena of Western art deserves special attention. The book “Psychoanalysis: From the Unconscious to ‘Fatigue of Consciousness’” was published in 1989, at the peak of perestroika. It is built on the same typological material (only with the involvement of a much wider range of ideas and sources) and testifies the author’s free possession of this material, its statement introducing the readers to the range of problems stated in the book.The conclusions indicate that the introduction of concepts of Western philosophical thought and the names of Western artists in the intellectual circulation of society of the UkrSSR expanded its worldview, creating a sense of richness and diversity of artistic and philosophical life abroad. The removal of ideological pressure in the midst of perestroika showed that some philosophers of the Soviet era were freely oriented in the global philosophical, culturological, and psychological thought.The study of the past, including the philosophy of the USSR, is a necessary condition for creating a holistic picture of that era and clarifying a number of current trends.

Authors: Badretdinova Svetlana Anatolyevna , Badretdinov Irik Raufovich
Published: September 2021

The paper provides a historical analysis of the process of institualization of Turkey’s “soft power” policy in Turkic-speaking post-Soviet countries. Scientific originality of the study involves the problem formulation itself. Researchers’ attention is focused on the following issues: formation of political conception, political mechanisms, factors influencing Turkey’s “soft power” policy, its periodization. The findings indicate that the appearance of new post-Soviet states contributed largely to the process of institualization of Turkey’s “soft power” policy. The authors emphasize the fact that the year 2002, when Justice and Development Party came to power, symbolizes a new conceptual approach to “soft power” institualization. The research findings are as follows: relying on the analysis of factual material and on existing theoretical studies, the authors identify the basic activity trends of Turkey’s “soft power” institutions in Turkic-speaking countries, analyze their efficiency.

in Countries of the Asia-Pacific Region in the 1920s-1930s
Authors: Vinokurov Aleksandr Danilovich
Published: September 2021

The research aims to give a general description of the documents belonging to the editorial team of the documentary and commemorative collected volume “Siberian Archives” (edited by I. A. Yakushev)
on the activities of White Russian émigré organisations in countries of the Asia-Pacific region in the 1920s-1930s. The identified materials and documents will make it possible to fill in the gaps in the history of social
and political adaptation of White Russian émigré representatives, in particular in China. The defining role of publishing activities undertaken by the “Society of the Siberians” is characterised, the most popular émigré periodicals are noted. Scientific novelty of the research lies in carrying out a review and archival analysis and introducing into scientific use documents on the history of the White Russian émigré movement from collections of the “Russian Historical Archives Abroad”. As a result, it has been proved that in addition
to cultural and educational activities, the editorial staff of the journal “Siberian Archives” took a direct part in social and political adaptation and provided material support to White Russian émigrés.
The Terms “Multimodality” and “Visual Linguistics” in H. Stöckl‘s Works
Authors: Kunitsyna Olesya Mironovna
Published: September 2021

The research objectives are as follows: to reveal H. Stöckl‘s understanding of the terms “multimodality” and “multimodal competence”, to popularize visual linguistics as a scientific trend. The author analyses the existing interpretations of the notion “multimodality”, relying on H. Stöckl‘s works clarifies the subject and problematics of visual linguistics, identifies its place among linguistic disciplines devoted to multimodal text, which constitutes scientific originality of the study. The findings indicate that multimodality is an inherent feature of communication process, image is considered as a key element influencing the modeling and perception of multimodal texts. Visual linguistics is a relatively new branch of linguistic science focused on analysing non-homogenous texts containing verbal and static visual components.
Names of Wild and Domestic Animals as a Part of the Phytonymic Vocabulary of the Khakass Language and Its Dialects
Authors: Chebodaeva Larisa Il'inichna
Published: September 2021

The study aims to conduct a structural and word-formation analysis of the phytonymic vocabulary of the Khakass language and its dialects, which includes names of wild and domestic animals, as well as to identify motivational features underlying their naming. Scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it represents the first experience of a comprehensive description of the phytonymic vocabulary with a zoonym component of the Khakass language and its dialects. As a result, 75 lexical units used to designate 41 objects of naming have been analysed, 8 lexemes (* qat, * čístek, *čеčеk, *оt, *yɣаč, * jymyrt, tíken, * baltyr-yan) corresponding to a Turkic protoform and participating in the formation of phytonyms with a zoonym component have been identified.
Metaphor in the Political Discourse of Russian Printed Media as a Tool for Verbalising Linguocultural Realities (1991-2008)
Authors: Lonskaia Anna Yur’evna
Published: September 2021

The research aims to identify the linguocultural specificity of metaphors in the political discourse of printed media at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries. Scientific novelty of the paper lies in approaching the study of political metaphors of Russian printed media in 1991-2008 from the perspective of their connection with Russian linguoculture; the characteristic national and cultural features of metaphors are indicated, these include manipulating public opinion by referring to the history of the country, focusing on key events and political personalities of the present, actualising recipients’ archetypal values (health, aversion to war, fight against “foreign things”, etc.). The research resulted in the definition and linguocultural analysis of the key source macrospheres of metaphors in the specified time period, namely “the USSR”, “nature”, “theatre”, “medicine”, “war”, “sport”.
Linguistic Means of Author’s Image Representation in Scientific Texts (By the Material of V. O. Klyuchevsky’s Work “A History of Russia”)
Authors: Wang Lele
Published: September 2021

The paper aims to reveal the specificity of author’s image representation in V. O. Klyuchevsky’s work “A History of Russia” by the material of text fragments describing literary monument “Yunosti Chestnoe Zertsalo” (“The Honorable Mirror for Youth”) - young noblemen’s etiquette book of Peter the Great’s epoch. Author’s image category is considered as a manifestation of a universal category of subjectivity and as a basic text-formative category, for the first time the researcher analyses the problem of author’s image representation by the material of scientific texts, and herein lies scientific originality of the study. As a result, it is proved that authorial vision manifests itself in authorial usage of language means and stylistic contrast, which creates special aesthetic effect and helps the historian to express his attitude to Peter the Great’s educational reform.

Authors: Kuznetsova Nadezhda Genievna , Stepicheva Olga Nikolaevna , Janowitz Philipp
Published: September 2021

The paper aims to provide a systematic representation of international words in a thematic grouping of terms “Romanesque Architectural Style” belonging to the architectural terminology of European languages (English, German, French, Italian and Russian). Scientific novelty of the research lies in identifying the range of international terms in the said thematic grouping, in classifying them, as well as in specifying the etymology of the corresponding terminological units in each of the languages. The results attained while determining the range of terminological international words in this segment of the architectural terminology of European languages and analysing their etymology made it possible to ascertain that the processes of borrowing words directly from Greek, from Greek through Latin as an intermediary language, from classical and medieval Latin through the Romance languages, as well as from the Romance languages themselves, primarily from Italian, participated in the formation of the corpus of international terms.
Clima y formas de vida de las plantas en la transición andina - extraandina de la Patagonia septentrional argentina
Authors: Dezzotti Alejandro , Medina Andrea , Mortoro Ariel
Published: September 2021

Introducción y objetivos: La autolocomoción restringida expone a las plantas a estrés, que promueve la adaptación. En el ecotono andino - extraandino de la Patagonia argentina, la adaptación está asociada principalmente a la aridez. En este trabajo se investigó la adaptación de las plantas al frío, basada en el análisis de las formas de vida que representan una estrategia de supervivencia durante la estación desfavorable. 
M&M: En Aguas Frías (38° 46´ S, 70° 54´ O) y Litrán (38° 54´ S, 71° 01´ O), se caracterizó el clima a través de información meteorológica y la vegetación en forma fisonómico - florística. Las plantas se clasificaron de acuerdo a la especie, el origen, la forma de crecimiento y la forma de vida, y la abundancia se estimó a través de datos de incidencia.
Resultados: El clima es templado frío húmedo - semiárido y la vegetación corresponde a las Provincias Patagónica y Subantártica. Las unidades de vegetación incluyeron bosques, estepas y praderas. La riqueza total fue 148; 139 especies fueron nativas, 122 herbáceas, 143 raras y 64 pertenecieron a una única unidad. La similitud entre unidades fue baja y las hemicriptófitas dominaron los espectros biológicos florístico (68%) y vegetacional (56%).
Conclusiones: El intenso gradiente ambiental modeló las marcadas diferencias de la vegetación, y el frío habría sido un factor clave a juzgar por la dominancia de un forma de vida adaptada a las bajas temperaturas. Una mayor comprensión de estas relaciones es esencial para el manejo de los ecosistemas patagónicos.
Analysing cultural networks in cross-border metropolitan regions. The case of the Upper Rhine region (Germany–Switzerland–France)
Authors: Bakry Ahmed , Growe Anna
Published: September 2021

In the last few decades, cross-border metropolitan regions (CBMRs) have been examined through the lens of binary prevailing network analysis, with substantial focus being placed on economy, innovations, and governance. However, the analysis of cultural networks is underrepresented in these contexts, although several voices have enquired about new concepts and practices for measuring spatial cultural networks and social proximities. This study was concerned with measuring cultural networks, as one step towards obtaining a deeper understanding of CBMRs. When focusing on cultural networks in border studies, it is necessary to understand: 1) how spatio-cultural networks can be conceptualised and measured from an interdisciplinary perspective; and 2) how cultural networks influence cross-border relations. Some of the literature has identified culture as the complex interrelation of values, artefacts, and behaviours, which presents multiple difficulties for analysing culture, per se. To analyse the influence of cultural networks in cross-border areas, this work took the Upper Rhine (UR), between the nation states of Germany, France, and Switzerland, as a case study. In the literature, this region is mainly referred to as being one coherent, integrated CBMR that shares similar dominant values. However, with regard to border cultural networks and national identities, this is empirically questionable. The UR region was analysed using two datasets, one quantitative and one qualitative. The analytical framework was based on the interlocking network model (INM) developed by Taylor (2001), which measures network and city centralities. Some adaptations were made to the INM to specifically analyse cultural networks in cross-border regions, giving rise to an ‘extended’ INM (EINM). Firstly, it was found that, although well-established cultural interrelations were identifiable in the UR cross-border region, a negative national border effect exists, leading to an uneven integration of German, Swiss and French cities into the cultural networks. Secondly, there was a significant difference between the INM and EINM, in terms of the number of relations and network centralities that could be captured, which led to different conclusions.

Izdvojeno mišljenje obrađuje se s istorijskog, komparativnog i pravno-teorijskog aspekta. Ukazano je na razloge koji idu u prilog i protiv izdvojenog mišljenja, sudijsku nezavisnost i njihov uticaj na integritet suda, kao i prijedloge za poboljšavanje pravnog okvira izdvojenog mišljenja i njihov uticaj na kreiranje pravnog sistema. U praksi Ustavnog suda Crne Gore izdvojena mišljenja su dozvoljena, ali ne i njihovo objavljivanje, jer je na odluci Ustavnog suda da li će se ono objaviti u "Službenom listu Crne Gore" ili ne. Praksa Ustavnog suda pokazuje uzdržanost sudija Ustavnog suda u korišćenju mogućnosti da izdvoje mišljenje a i nedefinisanosti ovog instituta na pravi način.
Trgovanja ljudima - analiza slučaja
Authors: Milković Iva
Published: September 2021

Tematika trgovanja ljudima podrazumijeva bavljenje jednim od najvećih globalnih problema današnjice. U radu je napravljena analiza kaznenog djela trgovanja ljudima kao jednog od najtežih oblika kršenja ljudskih prava kroz detaljnu kriminalističku obradu i tijek samoga postupka. Empirijski dio rada oslanja se na kvalitativnu istraživačku metodu studije slučaja "case study", a kao izvor podataka korišteni su spisi Općinskog kaznenog suda u Zagrebu. Prezentiran je sam način počinjenja kaznenog djela, podnošenje kaznene prijave te kazneni progon. Cilj istraživanja bio je dati odgovor na pitanja vezana uz trgovanje ljudima te primjenu kaznenog progona protiv onih koji su uključeni u trgovanje ljudima. Kroz analizu konkretnog slučaja nastojalo se doći do profila žrtava trgovine ljudima, utvrditi razloge trgovanja ljudima i kojim metodama se trgovci ljudima koriste te njihovu povezanost na međunarodnoj razini. Statistički gledano, na području Republike Hrvatske identificiran je mali broj žrtava trgovine ljudima, koje su uglavnom iskorištavane za ilegalni rad ili za pružanje seksualnih usluga, no tamna brojka zasigurno je daleko veća. Zbog malog broja dostupnih sudskih predmeta, u radu je analiziran slučaj koji sadrži transnacionalne elemente ovoga kaznenog djela. Unatoč starosti predmeta i činjenici da je otvoren 2004. (i pravomoćno okončan 2015. godine), po svojim karakteristikama analizirani slučaj prikazuje tipična obilježja reprezentativna za ovo kazneno djelo.
From Bucharest to Prespa: Macedonian naming dispute in 2008–2018
Authors: Koloskov Evgenii A.
Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the second stage of the Macedonian naming dispute. I continue my research on the actual memory war between Athens and Skopje. The article focuses on the period from the 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest to the signing of the Prespan Agreement in 2018. I research the key points, the main factors of the conflict, especially the role of the international mediators and the internal political situation in two countries. I propose a new version of the periodization of the Macedonian naming dispute. I paid special attention to the process of the “antiquization” in Macedonia during the period when VMRO-DPMNE was in power and to the canceling of it after the transit of power to the SDSM. Conclusions are drawn about the future for reconciliation in view of the difficult foreign policy situation in the region and in both countries. Considering that in Greece the compromise with Skopje became one of the reasons for the transition to the opposition to SYRIZA, and in North Macedonia of the apparent weakening of the position of the ruling party, the negative potential of the Greco-Macedonian dispute over the state name has not been fully exhausted.
The Ukrainian bestseller: On the way to national identity
Authors: Baydalova Ekaterina V.
Published: September 2021

The article considers the commercially successful works of fiction written in Ukrainian since the beginning of Ukraine’s independence, and provides a brief excursion into the history of the issue. A bestseller is viewed as a multifunctional phenomenon, the emergence of which is determined by not only the presence of the literary text itself, but also the infrastructure and competent marketing necessary for good sales. In the 1990s there were no and could not be bestsellers, since there were no necessary infrastructure, support from the state, appropriate attitude of publishing houses, and moreover, there was no Ukrainian reader. The buyers would more willingly buy books in Russian and there was some distrust of modern Ukrainian literature. Certain changes took place in the 2000s. Since the mid-2000s in Ukrainian culture the hit sales are books that offer a biased view of the controversial historical events of the Soviet past, use “hate speech” in relation to other ethnic groups, and manipulate the reader’s empathy. A conclusion is made about the relevance of such a one-dimensional image of the past for the formation of Ukrainian national identity in the current historical period.
Transformations of a Ukrainian song in Hungarian territories during the first half of the 19th century
Authors: Kalavszky Zsófia
Published: September 2021

In my study I examine through what channels the Ukrainian song “Ïhav kozak za Dunaj” reached Czech and Hungarian territories through German mediation at the beginning of the 19th century. In the German-speaking territories, the Ukrainian song was spreading in German almost like a folk song. “Schöne Minka”, a Christophor Tiedge’s adaptation of the Ukrainian song, which differs significantly from the original, probably reached the territory of the Czech Crown and later the Kingdom of Hungary in the 1810s with the soldiers participating in the Napoleonic wars. A decade later, another version of the Ukrainian song much closer to the original appeared in the Czech and Hungarian territories. In Czech this version was published by František Čelakovský in 1822, and we owe the creation of the Hungarian version to Count Ferenc Teleki. Teleki did not work with Russian or Ukrainian sources, he translated the Ukrainian song into Hungarian with the help of a German translation. This text mediating between Ukrainian and Hungarian is Theodor Körner’s translation “Russisches Lied”. At the same time, Teleki’s translation is especially exciting for Russian and Hungarian literature since it shows surprising correspondences with Wilhelm Küchelbecker’s text “Der Kosak und das Mädchen” (1814), which is also a translation of the Ukrainian song.

Authors: van Zalen Jet , D'Silva Andrew , Badiani Sveeta , Bhuva Anish N. , Patel Nikhil , Hughes Alun , Manisty Charlotte , Sharma Sanjay , Moon James C. , Lloyd Guy W.
Published: September 2021

Background:

The relationship between resting echocardiographic measures of cardiac function and exercise capacity is weak. The details of ventricular augmentation may provide insight into determinants of cardiac efficiency for optimal exercise performance. The aims of this study were to establish how much of the variability in exercise performance could be explained by myocardial recruitment and which parameters describing cardiac function were most closely related to exercise performance.

Methods:

Untrained volunteers were recruited before training for the London Marathon. All performed a cardiopulmonary exercise test combined with stress echocardiography. Systolic and diastolic longitudinal velocities (S′ and E′), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), stroke volume (SV), and strain (GLS) were obtained throughout exercise.

Results:

A variety of parameters including S′, E′, GLS, and SV showed a correlation with V̇o2 throughout exercise (ρ = 0.83, P < 0.0001). At the prespecified sample point (respiratory exchange ratio > 1.0) only SV and S′ were predictive of V̇o2peak. LVEF and E′ as well as both global longitudinal and circumferential strain showed no correlation with V̇o2peak. The systolic efficiency slope (SES) that we developed by determining the individual regression lines for V̇o2 and S′ showed a relationship between with V̇o2 peak for both septal S′, r = 0.57, P < 0.001, and lateral S′, r = 0.53, P < 0.001.

Conclusion:

A detailed description of myocardial function is described, linear for S′ and E′ and a plateau for EF and GLS. S′ during exercise is a better predictor of exercise performance than LVEF, SV, or GLS. The SES slope predicted V̇o2peak, suggesting the process driving systolic velocity and its augmentation is a key determinant of exercise ability.

Differential expression of ATPase phospholipid transporting 8B4 in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published and public microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding ATPase phospholipid transporting 8B4 (putative), ATP8B4, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. ATP8B4 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. ATP8B4 expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of ATP8B4 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. ATP8B4 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.
Time Perspective predicts levels of Anxiety and Depression during the COVID-19 outbreak: A cross-cultural study
Authors: Micillo Luigi , Rioux Pier-Alexandre , Durán Esteban Mendoza , Kübel Sebastian Lukas , Cellini Nicola , van Wassenhove Virginie , Grondin Simon , Mioni Giovanna
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 outbreak and governmental measures to keep the population safe had a great impact on many aspects of society, including well-being. Using data from N=1281 participants from six countries (Argentina, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, and Turkey), we first explored differences in anxiety, depression (measured with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; HADS) and time perspectives (Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory; ZTPI), between these countries during the first weeks of the pandemic. We observed that Turkish participants reported the highest levels of anxiety, and Japanese and Greek the lowest. For depression symptoms, the Japanese scored highest and Italians lowest. Next, for each country, we investigated how well the relatively time-stable personality traits of time perspectives, chronotype (reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire; rMEQ), and Big Five personality traits (short Big Five Inventory; BFI) predicted the levels of anxiety and depression (HADS). The regression analyses showed that negative attitudes towards the past predicted the levels of both anxiety and depression in most of the countries we analyzed. Additionally, in many countries, a Past Positive orientation negatively predicted depression whereas the Present Fatalistic subscale predicted anxiety and depression. The chronotype did not contribute additionally to the models. The Big Five traits (and particularly neuroticism) showed substantial incremental explanatory power for anxiety in some countries but did not consistently predict anxiety levels. For depression, the additional variance accounted for by including the BFI as predictors was rather small. Importantly, the ZTPI subscales were retained as significant predictors in the model still when the BFI and rMEQ were considered as potential predictors. Our results yield evidence that the ZTPI time perspectives are valuable predictors for anxiety and depression levels during the first period of the pandemic.
WEIRD People and The Western Church: who made who?
Authors: Passmore Sam , Watts Joseph
Published: September 2021

Henrich’s The WEIRDest People in the World explains how the West came to be psychologically and culturally WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic), and the economic and social effects this has had on the last two thousand years of human history. One of the many strengths of WEIRDest People in the World is that it synthesizes evidence from psychology, economics, anthropology, and history into an integrated, compelling, and coherent theoretical framework. In this book, kinship is positioned at the forefront of narratives about the evolution of human societies – something that has long been recognized within anthropology but often missing from grand history narratives (Diamond, 1999; Harari, 2014). This work is highly readable while still making clear, empirically testable causal hypotheses. A central hypothesis of Henrich (2020) is that the Western Christian Church’s Marriage and Family Program (MFP) caused changes in European kinship systems. Here we evaluate the evidence presented in support of this hypothesis by reviewing the available information on pre-MFP kinship systems in Europe and re-analyzing cross-national associations between MFP and kinship structures using phylogenetic comparative methods. We raise alternative hypotheses about the relationships between the Western Christian Church and kinship structures and suggest that further research is needed to arbitrate these hypotheses.
Context Matters for Preschool Discipline: Effects of Distance Learning and Pandemic Fears
Authors: Bookser Brita , Ruiz Michael , Olu-Odumosu Ayomide , Kim Moonhawk , Jarvis Shoshana N , Okonofua Jason
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the context and delivery of early childhood education, yet little is known about its impact on exclusionary discipline (e.g., suspension, expulsion), which nationally representative evidence has shown disproportionately impacts Black boys. Using one experiment, we test how preschool providers respond to three hypothetical vignettes about a Black boy’s behaviors. Participants (N = 60) were randomly assigned to read vignettes set in either distance learning or in-person classroom contexts. Then, participants completed measures about discipline and COVID-19. Results indicated there was an interaction between context and the sequence of vignettes on providers’ troubled feelings and endorsements of discipline. Providers showed heightened troubled feelings and endorsements of discipline severity in the distance learning context, as compared to an in-person context, as vignettes progressed. Additionally, the more providers feared COVID-19, the more they felt troubled over the course of the vignettes across conditions. Practitioners can use this research to inform consultative interventions that mitigate discipline by directly addressing providers’ pandemic fears and classroom contexts.
Dynamic Data Visualizations to Enhance Insight and Communication Across the Lifecycle of a Scientific Project
Authors: Wiebels Kristina , Moreau David
Published: September 2021

In scientific communication, figures are typically rendered as static displays. This often prevents active exploration of the underlying data, for example to gauge the influence of particular data points or of particular analytic choices. Yet modern data visualization tools, from animated plots to interactive notebooks and reactive web applications, allow psychologists to share and present their findings in dynamic and transparent ways. In this tutorial, we present a number of recent developments to build interactivity and animations into scientific communication and publications, using examples and illustrations in the R language (basic knowledge of R is assumed). In particular, we discuss when and how to build dynamic figures, with step-by-step reproducible code that can easily be extended to the reader’s own projects. We illustrate how interactivity and animations can facilitate insight and communication across a project lifecycle—from initial exchanges and discussions within a team to peer-review and final publication—and provide a number of recommendations to use dynamic visualizations effectively. We close with a reflection on how the scientific publishing model is currently evolving, and consider the challenges and opportunities this shift might bring along for data visualization.
Efficiency, Profitability and Stability of Nepalese Commercial Banks
Authors: Adhikari Pitri Raj
Published: September 2021

Efficiency, profitability and stability become an area of emergent concern in the literature and the practice. This paper attempts to examine the efficiency, profitability and stability of the Nepalese commercial banks and shows the importance of banking activities rather than simply profit achieved. Descriptive and causal-comparative research designs are used and data are collected from the financial reports of respective banks and NRB reports during the period of 2011/12 to 2019/20 of 27 commercial banks with 243 observations. Descriptive statistics have been used to present quantitative data in a manageable form and the relationship between dependent and independent variables are examined using correlation, simple and multiple regression analysis. It is found a negative and significant relationship between bank efficiency and profitability; a positive and significant relationship between bank efficiency and stability. Perhaps, this paper may be the first attempt to examine the determinants of efficiency, profitability and stability of Nepalese commercial banks. It is expected this study will bring new insight into the banking field and would provide a framework and guidelines for future study in Nepalese financial sectors.
Influence of Past on Present: A Naturalistic Study of Ghosts
Authors: Bhatta Arjun Dev
Published: September 2021

This article analyzes and evaluates Henrik Ibsen’s most controversial drama “Ghosts” from naturalistic point of view. Naturalism views human life in relation to internal and external environment. It insists on the effect of the past that shapes the present life of human beings. Based on this philosophy of life, this article examines how the life of the leading characters Mrs. Alving and her son Oswald has been influenced. Mrs. Alving’s present values and views on life have a concern with conventional and religious past whereas Oswald’s philosophy of life is guided and governed by his dead father. This article also shows heredity and genetic transformation are biological facts that affect human life. Thus, the object of this article is to explore how human beings are controlled by the inescapable past.
Caryā of Guhyasamājatantra: A divine drama
Authors: Shrestha Arun
Published: September 2021

A very common understand of the word caryā brings to our mind often heard of the vajrayāna religious song known to us as caryāgīti accompanied by caryānŗtya. An apparently outward symbolic representation of the word in song and dance finds a deeper meaning when dwelt in depth. A thorough investigation into caryā opens up vast insight of vajrayāna philosophy and doctrines amalgamated in rituals of vajrayāna religious practice composed of sādhana, maņđala, mantra and mudrā with ultimate aim of emancipation in the present life itself. In essence a yoga practice with intricate procedures leads sentient beings to the world of spiritualism composed of esoteric ritual practices with a touch of aesthetical experience inherent in caryāgīti and caryānŗtya.

Role of Chitosan In Lymphoedema
Authors: Chittoria Ravi
Published: September 2021

Lymphoedema is a chronic problem with various skin changes that lead to impaired care for the affected limb. These skin changes also lead to recurrent infections. The difficulty in care and the subsequent neglect leads to further spread of the infection and increased risk of future infections. Prevention of infections and prevention of progress of the skin changes is one of the main components of the treatment of the lymphoedema. There are various materials available to enhance the healing of the knobs and fissures secondary to lymphoedema. We would like to present our case report on the usage of chitosan in a patient with stage 7 skin changes of lymphedema.
Les sorties de crise dans l’histoire des finances publiques
Authors: Tholozan Olivier
Published: September 2021

L’histoire montre que la sortie de crise des finances publiques n’est pas un phénomène purement comptable. Il s’agit d’un processus politique qui met en jeu des représentations culturelles. L’histoire de France offre un champ d’observation intéressant. Entre 1789 et la Libération, l’État français a réglé ses problèmes budgétaires en jouant de ses différentes légitimités, quitte à sacrifier l’intérêt des prêteurs d’argent.
La mobilisation redoutée de l’épargne privée
Authors: Masclet De Barbarin Marie
Published: September 2021

La crainte de voir l’État ponctionner l’épargne des ménages pour sortir de la crise revient souvent ces derniers temps sur le devant de la scène médiatique. Cette hypothèse s’appuie notamment sur l’expérience malheureuse des épargnants chypriotes en 2013, qui ont dû pour certains d’entre eux recapitaliser leur banque sur leurs propres deniers.

Si aucun autre précédent de mobilisation contrainte de l’épargne privée n’est pour l’instant à déplorer en Europe, il faut savoir qu’il existe à présent dans notre droit français des instruments juridiques susceptibles d’autoriser de telles mesures d’exception. Elles ne pourraient cependant être mises en oeuvre qu’en cas de crise financière majeure et s’accompagneraient de dispositifs de protection destinés à en limiter l’impact pour le plus grand nombre.
Fiscalité de crise ou crise de la fiscalité internationale ?
Authors: Davoult Nicole
Published: September 2021

Les règles fiscales internationales ont été adaptées à la pandémie dans l’urgence sans créer a priori de contraintes, afin de garantir la sécurité juridique. Les analyses de l’OCDE, ainsi que celles de l’administration et la jurisprudence, portent sur la localisation des contribuables, fondée sur le concept de résidence dont la portée serait peu modifiée pour les personnes physiques, contrairement aux entreprises, et sur la répartition du pouvoir d’imposer à travers l’établissement stable et les prix de transfert qui seraient plus fortement impactés.

Le système international de répartition fait parallèlement l’objet d’une réforme par l’OCDE en 2020, initialement en réponse aux enjeux de la numérisation de l’économie. Le Pilier Un porte sur la répartition des droits d’imposition entre les pays et vise notamment à l’orienter davantage au profit des juridictions de marché, pour les activités reposant à des degrés divers sur des services numériques, avec un nouveau lien de nature économique (« nexus »). Le Pilier Deux prévoit que les sociétés multinationales paient un impôt minimum sur leurs bénéfices si leur taux effectif d’imposition est inférieur à ce plancher. Avec le soutien des États-Unis, cette proposition dont l’incidence budgétaire est limitée pourra être adoptée dans le contexte d’une crise qui renforce les demandes de solidarité internationale.

La dimension régionale de l’action économique et des finances publiques
Authors: Mordacq Frank
Published: September 2021

Au cours des vingt dernières années, les compétences de la région se sont considérablement accrues tant pour la circonscription de l’État que pour la collectivité locale. Sous l’effet de la LOLF, l’échelon régional a été retenu par l’État pour la stratégie déconcentrée des politiques publiques, la programmation budgétaire et la mutualisation des fonctions supports. La collectivité régionale, forte de sa nouvelle compétence exclusive dans le domaine économique, depuis la loi NOTRé, a démontré avec l’État une forte synergie d’action lors de la crise sanitaire et du plan de relance.
Les investissements publics en temps de crise : le cas du Canada
Authors: Champagne Eric , Granja Aracelly Denise
Published: September 2021

Cet article analyse comment les gouvernements utilisent les investissements publics comme outil pour faire face à une crise socio-économique majeure. Il compare la réponse du Canada face à la crise économique mondiale de 2008-2010 et à celle de 2020-2021. L’analyse démontre que la stratégie d’investissements publics du gouvernement fédéral a été relativement conventionnelle en 2008-2010 mais que le plan de relance de 2020-21 semble s’orienter vers une vision plus ambitieuse et transformationnelle sur le plan social et environnemental.
La crise des finances publiques au Brésil et le cas du Covid
Authors: Almeida Falcão Maurin
Published: September 2021

Cet article analyse la crise des finances publiques au Brésil qui persiste depuis 2013 et est aggravée par les effets de la Covid. Malgré les contraintes budgétaires imposées par le cadre constitutionnel, le Gouvernement fédéral a déployé des moyens importants vers les entités fédérées pour faire face à la pandémie. Un régime financier d’urgence a visé à contrecarrer la pénurie, le chômage et les effets du confinement. Le pacte fédératif en ressort renforcé, sachant qu’une décision de la Cour suprême a rappelé que les organes fédérés et les municipalités ont une compétence concurrente en matière sanitaire, ce qui dilue politiquement le pouvoir fédéral.
