Effect of Internal Audit on Expenditure Control in Mubi North Local Government Area
Authors: Mohammed Babbuli Ibrahim
Published: November 2021

This study examines the effect of internal audit on expenditure control in Mubi North Local Government Area. This study employed the survey research design. From the population of the study 50 staffs were selected as a sample for this study. The instrument used for collecting data from the respondents is the questionnaire. The data gathered from the respondents was analyzed using simple percentage statistics and hypothesis was tested using chi-square. The finding shows internal audit in Mubi North LGA is very ineffective. This is because internal audit is not carry out effectively, internal audit has significant effect on expenditure control and among the factors militating affecting the effectiveness of internal audit in Mubi North LGA, low quality of staff is the most importance factor. The study therefore, recommends that there is need for top management of LGA to give high priority to internal audit, by putting in place strategies that will lead to effective practice of internal audit among the staff of the LGA which in turn will lead to effective expenditure control.

A Review on Crisis of Antibiotic Resistance
Authors: Safar Fatima Ridha , Pradhan Abhishek , Shabaraya A. R
Published: November 2021

The current challenges and crisis related to antibiotic use and its resistance are unique and differ from the past challenges, as there is a lot of novel pathogens involved in the emergence of antibiotics resistance. Antibiotic resistance has become a major concern and challenge, hindering the usage of antibiotics. Crisis of antibiotic resistance is the increasing global incidence of infectious diseases affecting human population making it untreatable with any known antibiotic or antimicrobial agent. Newer resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally thereby, imposing a major threat to the treatment of common infectious diseases. This has consequently led to an increase in the morbidity and mortality rates and thereby the rise in cost of the treatment as well. The process of antibiotic resistance has become an evolutionary response due to factors like widespread, extensive, and unnecessary use of antibiotics and unavailability of newer drugs attributable to exigent regulatory requirements. The situation in developing countries is expected to worsen unless governments become more stable, major advances occur in standards of living, preventive measures and in providing adequate medical care. Comprehensive and coordinated efforts are required to minimize the pace of resistance by implement new policies, researches and pursue steps to manage crisis.

Keywords: antibiotics, resistance, crisis micro-organisms.

Published: November 2021

In the scenario of increasing global warming, heat stress received more importance. Un- fortunately, Pakistan is also in the line of most heat affected countries of the world. In this regard, wheat being a most important staple edible crop of Pakistan is highly affected by heat stress. For combating this situation, a study was carried-out on ten bread wheat genotypes viz. Moomal, Mehran, Imdad-05, Anmol- 91, Benazir, TJ-83, SKD-1, TD-1, Abadgar and Hamal at the Experimental Field, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. The experiment was laid-out in a randomized complete block design (factorial arrangement) with three replications during Rabi season, 2016-17 in order to assess the response of wheat genotypes to terminal heat stress tolerance. Wheat genotypes were evaluated in two sowing dates viz., on 24th November as a normal planting and late planting on 31th December, 2016 considered as heat stress condition. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes under both sowing dates indicating suitability of the experiment to improve bread wheat genotypes for heat tolerance. Reductions in various traits were observed in late planting which indicated visible effects of heat stress on agro-economic traits. On an average plant height (cm), tillers/plant, spike length (cm), spikelets/spike, grains/spike, 1000-grain weight (g) and grain yield/plant (g) were declined by -4.63, -2.49, -3.04, -4.35, -16.29, -14.08 and -9.09 units respectively under the heat stress conditions, while the wheat genotypes like TJ-83, SKD-1 and Mehran showed minimum reductions under heat stress conditions for various traits suggesting their heat tolerance, nonetheless cultivars Moomal and Benazir expressed maximum declines under heat stress expressing their susceptibility to heat stress conditions. The remaining genotypes were found as moderately heat stress tolerant.
Ki Hadjar Dewantara, Berpolitik dengan Akal Budi dan Hati Nurani
Authors: Purwanto Bambang
Published: November 2021

Narasi besar historiografi Indonesia dan memori kolektif bangsa tentang Ki Hadjar Dewantara selama ini hanya dibatasi pada kenyataan sejarah yang berkaitan dengan pendidikan dan kebudayaan bersama Taman Siswa, sebagai sesuatu yang terpisah dari kesadaran dan kegiatan politik kebangsaannya. Padahal terdapat banyak bukti yang dapat diinterpretasikan bahwa Ki Hadjar Dewantara menjadikan Taman Siswa bukan hanya sebagai sebuah lembaga pengajaran dan pendidikan, melainkan representasi jati diri merdeka dari kesadaran kebangsaan Indonesia. Sebagai sebuah keutuhan cara berpikir, perilaku, dan tindakan, semua kegiatan Ki Hadjar Dewantara dalam bidang pendidikan dan kebudayaan merupakan perwujudan dari politik identitas untuk membedakan diri dari kolonialisme Belanda, yang tidak terlepas dari konteks besar perubahan di dalam masyarakat kolonial, dunia,dan kemanusiaan.

Published: November 2021

Las prácticas de enseñanza en las asignaturas de índole teológica ofrecidas por universidades católicas a todos sus estudiantes en respuesta a su misionalidad y su deseo de formación integral son el tema del presente artículo, cuyo objetivo es caracterizar tales prácticas en relación con las concepciones de teología, intencionalidades formativas, contenidos, métodos, recursos y evaluación. El método de la investigación es el estudio de caso múltiple y se llevó a cabo en cuatro universidades de Colombia (dos en Bogotá y dos en Cali). En su propósito de identificar las construcciones metodológicas y las acciones intencionadas que se implementan para que los estudiantes aprendan a pensar teológicamente la realidad, se encontró que: existen prejuicios por parte de los estudiantes que van desapareciendo a lo largo de la asignatura; los profesores no se inscriben en un único enfoque pedagógico y, en consecuencia, no se identifica una didáctica específica; y, finalmente, aunque hay un aporte significativo en la formación humana de los estudiantes, lo propio de la teología queda diluido en asuntos religiosos, morales, sociales, políticos y ecológicos.

Współcześnie w naszym kraju zarówno na gruncie nauk prawnych, zwłaszcza prawa karnego procesowego i kryminalistyki, jak i nauk związanych z prawem, w tym
psychologii, znikomym zainteresowaniem cieszy się problematyka sposobów (metod, technik) przesłuchania podejrzanego. O ile zagadnienia te niekiedy są poruszane na płaszczyźnie dopuszczalności procesowej tej czynności, to z pewnością
pozostałe kwestie dotyczące zwłaszcza skonkretyzowanych technik przesłuchania

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Even though syphilis is an easily detectable and treatable disease, it is still considered a major public health problem, which may lead to Congenital Syphilis (CS). Objective: To analyze the final conclusion and the situations of vulnerability of cases of CS reported in Niterói in 2018 and 2019. Methods: A review of the reported cases of CS, except for abortions, diagnosed in 2018 and 2019, was carried out through SINAN forms and research questionnaires. Results: Of the 46 cases of CS in 2018 and the 107 cases in 2019, 8 (17.4%) and 4 (4%) did not undergo prenatal care, respectively; 2 (4.4%) and 4 (4%) were not screened for CS in the prenatal period; 3 (6.5%) and 13 (12%) were screened, but not treated; 11 (23.9%) and 17 (16%) did not receive an adequate treatment; 1 0 (21.7%) and 23 (21%) were reactive in the screening process, received adequate treatment, but were reinfected; 9 (19.6%) and 32 (30%) were reactive in the screening process, received adequate treatment, but had confirmed CS due to other criteria; 3 (6.5%) and 12 (11%) were non-reactive in prenatal care, but reactive in childbirth; and 0 (0%) and 2 (2%) were reactive, considered a serological scar, untreated, but confirmed by other criteria. The “low-income family” vulnerability aspect appears 21 times in 2018 and 50 times in 2019; “alcohol user”, 11 times in 2018; “frequent change of address”, 18 times in 2019. Conclusion: The social context of pregnant women living in Niterói in 2018 and 2019 may have determined the outcome of congenital syphilis.

Introduction: Aiming at strengthening the discourse about syphilis prevention and promoting organic actions with strategies directed to digital communication platforms, the campaign “Eu sei. Você sabe?” (“I know. Do you?”) was developed and placed between mid 2020 and early 2021, within the scope of the project “Sífilis, não” (‘Syphilis, No’). Objective: In this article, we aim to report the planning and execution of this public communication campaign to combat syphilis by reflecting on the aspects of conception, strategic and creative planning, and placement of the campaign. Methods: The reflection was anchored in a descriptive study and in the report of this experience through a scientific narrative, considering the guidelines established in the planning and the period of execution (still under development). Results: The results of this campaign include the production and placement of various materials for digital circulation to disseminate content, such as cards (posts) for different social media websites in different formats; layouts for posters, banners and handouts (printed and digital); institutional website; card videos; sound spots; layouts for digital booklets and newsletters, among others. Conclusion: From the point of view of planning and production, the goal of the campaign was to contemplate the diversity of audiences with actions and materials, by adapting imagery, language and communication channels. It is not yet feasible to measure the reach or the audience size and response, although we can project it as positive in view of its context.

Introduction: Data about the increase in human trafficking around the world are worrisome. Although there is legislation on the subject, its scope does not cover all forms and victims of trafficking. Thus, many women, children and men remain in a vulnerable situation. Objective: The purpose of this paper was to elucidate and understand, based on the literature, the relationship between human trafficking, health care systems and the increase in sexually transmitted diseases, and also to point out what is being done to combat the problem. Methods: A documentary research was conducted through an integrative review for the period from 2010 to 2020. The literature search was carried out on the basis of the CAPES journals portal using the keywords “human trafficking”, “sexually transmitted diseases”, “health care systems” and “education”. Results: The results obtained indicated that the absence of access to information, health care and education are intrinsic to the process of illegal immigration and the destination of women and children for exploitation, whether sexual, for organ removal or forced labor, and that situations of violence, absence of health care or education and coercion, among others, are common both for the conditions of trafficking and for the conditions of the increase in sexually transmitted diseases. Conclusion: Given the information obtained, it is concluded that more research must be carried out together with the agencies that investigate and apply current laws to determine what are the most effective measures to combat human trafficking. Furthermore, we highlight the need for information on policies and projects that are able to reach vulnerable populations, with the promotion of education, health care and better living conditions.

Published: November 2021

La búsqueda por una mejor conservación de la carne y sus productos es una constante dentro de la industria alimentaria. Dentro de los procesos de conservación, la descontaminación de microorganismos es el área en la que más se enfoca la investigación, el desarrollo y la innovación de metodologías, ya sea por un beneficio al producto alimenticio durante su almacenamiento, procesamiento o vida de anaquel, o por una reducción a problemas de salud en el consumidor. Existe una gran variedad de metodologías de conservación que se han desarrollado. Desafortunadamente, la mayoría de ellas conllevan alteraciones estructurales, nutricionales o sensoriales indeseables, sobre todo aquellas que implican alteraciones en la temperatura de la carne o sus productos. En años recientes se ha puesto especial atención a metodologías de conservación no térmicas (Irradiación, luz ultravioleta, ultrasonido, campo de pulsos eléctricos, altas presiones hidrostáticas, antimicrobianos naturales y tecnología Hurdle), considerando a estas como una alternativa excelente, dado que no afectan la calidad del alimento. Este documento es una revisión de las metodologías no térmicas de procesamiento comúnmente aplicadas a productos cárnicos, las nuevas tendencias, así como la combinación de varias tecnologías para su implementación en el futuro.

Study of the Effectiveness of Fire Service Positive Pressure Ventilation During Fire Attack in Single Family Homes Incorporating Modern Construction Practices
Authors:   UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute, Zevotek Robin , Kerber Steve
Published: November 2021

There is a continued tragic loss of firefighter and civilian lives, as shown by fire statistics. One significant contributing factor is the lack of understanding of fire behavior in residential structures resulting from the use of ventilation as a firefighter practice on the fire ground. The changing dynamics of residential fires as a result of the changes in home construction materials, contents, size and geometry over the past 30 years compounds our lack of understanding of the effects of ventilation on fire behavior. Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) fans were introduced as a technology to increase firefighter safety by controlling the ventilation. However, adequate scientific data is not available for PPV to be used without increasing the risk to firefighters. This fire research report details the experimental data from cold flow experiments, fuel load characterization experiments and full scale fire experiments. During the project it was identified that the positive pressure attack (PPA) and positive pressure ventilation (PPV) were often used interchangeably. For the purpose of this report they have been defined as PPA for when the fan is utilized prior to fire control and PPV for when the fan is used post fire control. The information from the full scale tests was reviewed with assistance from our technical panel of fire service experts to develop tactical considerations for the use of PPV fans in residential single family structures.
Study of the Fire Service Training Environment: Safety and Fidelity in Concrete Live Fire Training Buildings
Authors:   UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute, Regan Jack , Zevotek Robin
Published: November 2021

The goal of fire service training is to prepare students for the conditions and challenges that they face on the fireground. Among the challenges that firefighters routinely face on the fireground are ventilation-controlled fires. The hazard of these fires has been highlighted by several line-of-duty deaths and injuries in which a failure to understand the fire dynamics produced by these fires has been a contributing factor. The synthetic fuels that commonly fill contemporary homes tend to result in ventilation-controlled conditions. While synthetic fuels are common on the residential fireground, the fuels that firefighters use for fire training are more often representative of natural, wood-based fuels. In order to better understand the fire dynamics of these training fires, a series of experiments was conducted in a concrete live fire training building in an effort to evaluate the fidelity and safety of two training fuels, pallets and OSB, and compare the fire dynamics created by these fuels to those created by a fuel load representative of a living room set with furniture items with a synthetic components. Additionally, the effects of the concrete live fire training building on the fire dynamics were examined. The two training fuel loads were composed of wooden pallets and straw, and pallets, straw, and oriented strand board (OSB). The results indicated that the high leakage area of the concrete live fire training building relative to the fuel load prevented the training fuel packages from becoming ventilation-controlled and prevented the furniture package from entering a state of oxygen-depleted decay. The furniture experiments progressed to flashover once ventilation was provided. Under the conditions tested, the wood based fuels, combined with the construction features of this concrete live fire training building, limited the ability to teach ventilation-controlled fire behavior and the associated firefighting techniques. Additionally, it was shown that the potential for thermal injury to firefighters participating in a training evolution existed well below thresholds where firefighter PPE would be damaged.
Escravismo colonial, arqueologia e livros didáticos
Authors: Silva Leandro Vieira da
Published: November 2021

Esse trabalho procurou analisar e sistematizar passagens textuais e referências ilustrativas sobre a história dos grupos escravizados no Brasil que estão retratadas em livros didáticos nos níveis fundamental e médio, publicados a partir de 2003 e usados na rede pública. A justificativa pela escolha desse ano se deve à promulgação da Lei 10.639/2003, em que se tornou obrigatória a presença de um capítulo sobre a História da África nos livros de história. Nesse sentido, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi verificar se diante da obrigatoriedade de conteúdos relativos ao continente africano, se houve alguma mudança sobre as informações relativas aos grupos escravizados no Brasil. Nos livros consultados, foram observadas certas representações que ainda demonstram anacronismos e estereótipos, isso quando uma determinada temática é completamente ignorada. Nesse sentido, dois exemplos podem ser citados, uma é a falta de referência sobre os quilombos, locais que os escravos se refugiavam e que, atualmente, são importantes sítios arqueológicos. E o outro exemplo, é a persistência da invisibilidade do escravismo nas atividades ligadas à pecuária extensiva, quando se já descobriu várias senzalas nesse contexto. Esse silêncio apenas reforça a idéia errônea de que o escravismo esteve presente somente em plantations, na mineração e nas cidades. Diante desse resultado, é preciso refletir sobre como o estudo sobre o passado dos escravos afrobrasileiros está sendo representado e como isso repercute no tempo presente. As poucas alusões que aparecem nas obras não estão acompanhando os recentes achados arqueológicos e permanecem eivadas de concepções que vieram de interpretações formuladas ao longo do século XX. Se a Arqueologia tem o potencial de desmitificar certos aspectos que estão impregnados pelo senso comum ou mesmo de rebater determinados entendimentos ultrapassados, resta aos autores dessas obras ampararem seus textos nas pesquisas que estão em andamento, reavaliando posições e acrescentando novos dados.

Currículos decoloniais para uma educação antirracista e intercultural: a presença ausente da cultura e história afro-brasileira e africana nas práticas escolares da Educação Básica
Authors: Martins Samira
Published: November 2021

Neste artigo refletimos sobre a presença ausente da cultura e história afro-brasileira e africana nas práticas curriculares mesmo após a promulgação da lei n° 10.639/03 e a partir do exposto propomos novas possibilidades de construir esse saber para uma prática educativa antirracista e decolonial. O racismo ainda está presente nos currículos e nas práticas escolares, na qual a cultura e a história do povo negro é invisibilizada, refletindo diretamente na subjetividade dos alunos negros ao não se verem representados e valorizados. Por isso, é necessário que o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-brasileira e Africana seja efetivo na escola, para que os alunos se reconheçam enquanto pessoas políticas pertencentes de uma comunidade. Diante disso, tomamos como questão de pesquisa a seguinte inquietação: Como podemos repensar as práticas curriculares das escolas básicas para configurar modelos pedagógicos decoloniais, inclusivos e dissolventes da tensão conflitante entre igualdade e diferença? A metodologia adotada para esta discussão voltase para pesquisa qualitativa de caráter bibliográfico. As referências teóricas que nos guiam enquadram-se no modelo epistemológico do Grupo Modernidade/Colonialidade, que discutem sobre os conceitos de interculturalidade, colonialidade do poder, do saber e do ser, os quais agem na subjetividade dos povos subalternizados (principalmente negros), inviabilizando a construção de um conhecimento outro que não o europeu (QUIJANO, 2005; MIGNOLO, 2017, WALSH 2018). Com base nas reflexões levantadas, compreendemos que há uma tendência descolonizadora nas interseções com espaços de aprendizagem que compõem o entorno das escolas tais como os museus, terreiros e comunidades quilombolas analisados como ambiências promotoras de novas possibilidades de dar voz e espaço aos saberes africanos e afrodescendentes. Nesse contexto, é urgente a valorização desses espaços de saber de modo a repensar as vozes negras que foram silenciadas e apagadas historicamente por parâmetros acadêmicos brancos, bem como reconhecer o lugar de porta-voz das suas próprias narrativas.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACTO La evaluación de los aprendizajes en el ámbito escolar es un tema que suscita constantes reflexiones en el ámbito de la investigación académica en general. Así, la práctica evaluativa genera implicaciones y desafíos que permean y son parte del trabajo del docente, requiriendo que este profesional replantee su práctica pedagógica. Este artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre las prácticas de evaluación y sus implicaciones. Comprender y verificar si las actividades planificadas y por el profesor, motivan al alumno a construir realmente un conocimiento significativo. La evaluación como recurso inseparable de la práctica pedagógica es necesaria para apoyar al docente en la conducción del proceso de aprendizaje del alumno, y corroborará el diagnóstico de lo que el alumno sabe y aprendió en las distintas estrategias de evaluación. Por tanto, la práctica de evaluar requiere que el docente domine y reflexione sobre los conocimientos, herramientas adecuadas para el uso de estrategias que incorporen el objetivo adecuado, para lograr el éxito en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de los estudiantes. En este aspecto, la escuela, como institución o comunidad social, requiere de un hilo dialógico en las relaciones entre docentes, alumnos y comunidad para vivir los procesos educativos. Y, estas relaciones dialógicas dentro del universo educativo, ya sea formal o no formal, agregarán valores y resultarán en el comportamiento de otros individuos en términos de educación en general.

Com um mundo cheio de maldade, preconceito, violência, dificuldades sociais e familiares, tendo em vista essas diversas dificuldades colocando em ponto, o artigo tem como enfoque o preconceito nipo brasileiro como fator limitante no aprendizado, em vista de que temos várias diversidades culturais, encontrando, então, essa maldade no dia a dia. Além de encontrarmos preconceitos, temos uma questão da história por trás e como tudo começou, como as dificuldades durante a vinda dos primeiros imigrantes no Brasil no ano de 1908, no século XX. Mostrando como os japoneses tinham certas dificuldades financeiras, para voltar ao seu país natal e a questão de aprender uma língua nova. Com o período da Primeira e Segunda Guerra Mundial, isso se tornou mais complicado, onde os imigrantes que vieram estavam com intuito de poder vir assim que acabassem às duas guerras, porém nos dias 6 a 9 de agosto em 1945 o Japão foi bombardeado pelos Estados Unidos, onde tivemos cerca de 70 mil mortos.

The calculation of maximum elevation due to storm surge by using joint probability method
Authors: XIUQIN WANG , JINGYONG WANG
Published: November 2021

In the present paper the maximum storm surge elevations with certain return years were calculated by using a joint probability method. Based on the analyses of the typhoons which, affected coastal zone of Guangdong Province in history, a group of model typhoons was established. A number of parameters, which described the typhoons, were selected. The data of each parameter I was graded into a few sub-groups according to their values, and this was done in accordance with the historical observations. The probability of each value of the parameters was calculated based on the historical records. The probability of a typhoon with a group of values of parameters could be calculated. Simulation results of the storm surges caused by the above model typhoons with their probabilities were analysed statistically. Thus an accumulated probability curve and maximum elevations with certain return years were obtained.

A number of spots was selected. At some of the spots there are tidal stations and at the others there are none. The maximum elevations with certain return years at the spots were calculated and the results were found satisfactory. By using this method all the meteorological and hydrological data, which were available, can be fully utilized. This method is most suitable for calculating the  maximum elevations at a place where there is no tidal station or at many places simultaneously.
Pasture weed biology and management in Brazil
Authors:   Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Martins Dagoberto , Marchi Sidnei Roberto de ,   Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, Marques Ricardo Fagundes ,   Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho
Published: November 2021

The livestock production model historically practiced in Brazil has a strong extractive bias, wherein the premise is to produce livestock with absolutely no concern for the preservation or renewal of environmental resources. The absence of technical criteria for the use of pastures has generated low productivity rates, making the activity unsustainable from both economic and environmental points of view. This scenario led the several sectors linked to the production chain to develop a package of strategies to solve the problems faced by livestock farmers. This package of strategies is conventionally called postmodern or corporate farming, in which the extractive process gives way to the business logic of avoiding waste and recovering profit margins mainly through pasture perpetuation. However, there is still a technical gap in corporate cattle farming related to problems caused by pasture weeds because all the concepts applied are derived or copied from concepts generated in agriculture. Furthermore, few researchers have studied or scientific articles written on elucidating the real problem of weeds in livestock production. Thus, the goal of the present review was to present some aspects related to weed ecology, their interference, and management alternatives in pasture areas, thereby collaborating with corporate livestock farming in Brazil because solutions to weed problems are crucial to increase commitment in all sectors of the production chain.

Disney's Portrayal of Women: An Analysis of Female Villains and Princesses
Authors: Wellman Natalie S.
Published: November 2021

This study was conducted to understand how our views of women are shaped by Disney films. Specifically, this paper looks at how female villains and princesses are portrayed in nine Disney movies. These films were studied and coded for similarities and differences within specific themes. Ultimately, this study concluded there were a number of similar themes in regard to appearance, nonverbals, interactions, and common female stereotypes. The study also noted a shift between older (four movies before 1990) and newer (five movies after 1990) Disney movies; however, many of the changes do not occur until the most recent Disney movie (Moana) came out in 2016. The study shows an association between Disney’s media portrayal of women and the negative impacts on society. Research finds that because the film group provides two options for young girls to choose from, they are not given effective role models.

Authors:   Faculty of Computers and Artificial Intelligence, Beni-Suef University, Egypt, Bakry Mervat Ragab
Published: November 2021

Online social networks (OSNs) have become essential ways for users to socially share information and feelings, communicate, and thoughts with others through online social networks. Online social networks such as Twitter and Facebook are some of the most common OSNs among users. Users’ behaviors on social networks aid researchers for detecting and understanding their online behaviors and personality traits. Personality detection is one of the new difficulties in social networks. Machine learning techniques are used to build models for understanding personality, detecting personality traits, and classifying users into different kinds through user generated content based on different features and measures of psychological models such as PEN (Psychoticism, Extraversion, and Neuroticism) model, DISC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance) model, and the Big-five model (Openness, Extraversion, Consciousness, Agreeableness, and Neurotic) which is the most accepted model of personality. This survey discusses the existing works on psychological personality classification.

Published: November 2021

In the 1930s, society in the country faces the opportunity for women to obtain equal suffrage. The intellectual elite refers to this possibility with mixed feelings. On one hand, there are undoubted successes of independent and confident Bulgarian women who have established themselves in their profession, on the other – they are still a minority. The majority of women with predominantly provincial origin have no university education and sufficient experience. Their participation in political elections that they do not understand can not bring about positive changes in the country. Boris Denev, an established and sought-after artist, actively making his mark as a publicist does not share such opinion. The sense of humor and irony that he uses in his feuilletons are not liked by the representatives of the Bulgarian Women‘s Union, who are actively working for the implementation of equality. The artist begins a discussion with Union Secretary Dr. Plocheva in the capital‘s press. There are supporters of opposing views, each of them is convinced that his position is the most correct for defending Bulgarian identity in a difficult and unstable political environment.

Feelings like anxiety and disharmony enterеd in the balanced soul of the Renaissance man. They formed new aesthetic criteria, which required a change in the proportions and shapes of the human body and image. Undoubtedly, this is a transitional time in search of new ideals and artistic means.
