Authors: Khan Shahbaz , Jafri Razzi Abbas , Baig Nida , Shaique Muhammad , Usman Muhammad
Published: July 2017

The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of political general elections of Pakistan on KSE-100 index. We employed Event study methodology on closing prices of KSE-100 index over the time period January, 1998 to May, 2013. During our sample period, 3 events of political general Elections occurred i.e., Event1 in 2002, Event2 in 2008, and recently Event3 in 2013. We construct an Event window of 11 days consisting of 5 pre-event days, 1 on-event day, and 5 post-event days. Results of this study show that Events 1 -and 2 put significant negative impact on stock returns, while Event3 demonstrates a significant positive impact on stock returns. This study also revealed the pre -and post-event comparison for all of the three events and, suggested that as soon as the political situation of the country changes, behavior of investors towards political general election also changes. Manipulation in stock index has always been remained an inconclusive phenomenon for investors and policy makers. So, further evidence on an individual country level might suggest fruitful guidelines to both investors and policy makers.
¿Hacia la universidad corporativa? Reformas basadas en el mercado e isomorfismo institucional en Colombia
Authors: Pineda Pedro , Celis Jorge
Published: July 2017

En este artículo analizamos los discursos sobre la universidad alrededor de dos recientes programas gubernamentales colombianos: los créditos educativos Ser Pilo Paga y los rankings universitarios Mide. Si bien estos programas pueden caracterizarse como reformas basadas en el mercado o neoliberales, no han recibido un análisis sociológico que discuta su relación con cambios en la idea misma de universidad. Analizamos la retórica que rodeó su diseño y puesta en práctica mediante un análisis de contenido de artículos de prensa, documentos gubernamentales y de organismos internacionales. Apoyados en la mirada neo-institucionalista de la teoría de la sociedad mundial, encontramos que los créditos han sido impulsados fundamentalmente por parte del Banco Mundial, mientras que los rankings se copian directamente de la cultura global. Existe también una retórica alrededor de los términos de mejores, calidad, excelencia y tecnología que corresponden con el modelo global de la universidad corporativa. Esta idea contrasta, empero, con los términos de equidad, acceso, igualdad e inclusión que se encuentran en un discurso sobre involucramiento social correspondiente, en parte, con la idea local de la universidad latinoamericana. Las tensiones encontradas entre modelos de universidad que subyacen a viejos y nuevos mecanismos de regulación merecen estudiarse en otros países.
Nuevos desafíos para repensar la formación del profesorado ecuatoriano
Authors: Villagómez María Sol
Published: July 2017

La formación del docente ecuatoriano ha estado tradicionalmente ligada a los lineamientos de la política pública y del currículo nacional que han definido el quehacer docente, el trabajo de aula y lo que las instituciones de formación inicial docente deben priorizar en lo que respecta a la formación del profesorado. Los últimos años presentan grandes transformaciones en el sector educativo, además de la revalorización del trabajo docente. Se plantean nuevos desafíos formativos, ya no únicamente desde la perspectiva del docente como ejecutor de un currículo, sino como actor fundamental del proceso educativo. Es necesario repensar la formación de los profesores desde y para la reflexión crítica y la investigación, para la reflexión sobre el currículo, sobre sus propias prácticas y la pertinencia de éstas en relación a los contextos donde se desarrollan.
Empathy And Professional Burnout Of Russian And Belarusian Teachers
Authors: Medvedskaya E.I. , Sheryagina E.V.
Published: July 2017

The paper presents the results of a cross-cultural study of empathy and professional burnout of Belarusian and Russian teachers. Interpersonal Reactivity Index by M. Davis (IRI) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) were used. The absence of statistically significant differences in the level of empathy and burnout of teachers in a cross-cultural context was shown. Socio-economic features of the functioning of the two countries’ educational systems can explain non-significant trends of the cross-cultural differences in the severity of burnout symptoms. Both in the Russian and Belarusian sample the relationship between emotional exhaustion as a symptom of burnout and personal distress as a “negative” empathic phenomenon was found. Significant correlations between the severity of burnout and “positive” empathic phenomena (perspective taking, fantasy, empathic concern) have not been found.

This paper was prepared with the financial support of joint project “Development of empathy in socionomic professions” by Russian Foundation for Humanities (grant No.15-26-01007) and Belarusian Republican Foundation for Fundamental Research (grant No. G15R-028).
Psychological Adjustment To Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation In Adolescents: Individual And Family Factors
Authors: Khain A.E.
Published: July 2017

The results of the study of individual factors of psychological adaptation to the stressful situation of treatment by hematopoietic stem cells transplantation in adolescents and their mothers are presented. Measures were obtained from 28 adolescents aged 11—18 (M=14,25, 16m/12f) and their mothers aged 31—53 (M=41,1). The results show a significant positive correlation between levels of adjustment of adolescents and their mothers (r=0,643, p=0,001), between levels of adjustment to treatment and emotional distress of adolescents (r=0,544; p=0,007). The original hypothesis of significant associations between the levels of emotional distress, adjustment and individual factors such as appraisal of stressful event was confirmed: the lower level of adolescent’s adjustment was associated with their mothers’ appraisal of HSCT as a Threat (r=0,463, p=0,030) or Loss (r=0,450, p=0,035); high level of adolescent’s distress was associated with his/hers subjective appraisal of HSCT as a Threat (r=0,695, p=0,000) and Loss (r=0,659, p=0,000). Significant associations were also found between psychological adjustment of adolescents and coping behavior (of ad- olescents and parents), which confirms the importance of further research on both individual and family factors of psychological adjustment to HSCT.
Dialogical Self And Psychotherapy
Authors: Grebenyuk E.G.
Published: July 2017

The wide diversity of psychotherapy methods sometimes brings the need to com- pare them and identify the relationships between them. The dialogical self theory proposed by Hubert Hermans as a bridging theory can be a useful tool for that — although it doesn’t offer fundamentally new ideas, it allows to connect various existing concepts. The article introduces a brief overview of the basic concepts of this theory and practical strategies and methods based on it. Human self is considered a dia- logue between different I-positions. The theory presents a long tradition of dialogue in philosophy and psychology on the one hand and the postmodern view on identity as multiple and changeable on the other. The possibilities and limitations of this model in psychotherapy are considered.
Representações de homens do magistério sobre homens no magistério || Male teachers’ representations about male teachers
Authors: Peres-Gonçalves Josiane
Published: July 2017

As representações sociais predominantes na sociedade são de que as mulheres têm maiores condições para atuar profissionalmente na área da educação por se associar a imagem feminina com o papel de mãe educadora. Mas o que pensam os homens professores a este respeito? Para melhor entender essa realidade é que se justifica a realização do presente estudo que tem por objetivo investigar as representações sociais de homens professores sobre relações de gênero e presença masculina no magistério. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa foi realizada, mediante a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, com cinco homens que tiveram experiência de atuar como docentes na educação básica e ensino superior. Os resultados indicam que normalmente os homens encontram dificuldade para trabalhar com crianças, especialmente porque as representações predominantes na sociedade, e incorporadas pela maioria dos docentes entrevistados, são de que as mulheres possuem habilidades específicas, relacionadas à maternidade, que favorecem o trabalho no magistério.
Problemas de externalização e internalização em pré-adolescentes e vinculação aos pais || Externalizing and internalizing problems in pre-adolescents and attachment to parents
Authors: Sousa-Machado Teresa , Diogo Carine
Published: July 2017

Os comportamentos de externalização e internalização na infância e na adolescência refletem um mal-estar do sujeito, que muitas vezes o próprio não sabe explicar, mas que se traduz noutras áreas da vida. A publicação recorrente das elevadas percentagens destes problemas, nestas idades, suscita a necessidade de estudos periódicos em amostras de comunidade, para que se possa sinalizar e intervir precocemente. A vinculação insegura aos pais é um dos fatores associado à emergência destes problemas. Apresentamos um estudo exploratório, com o Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades (SDQ) e o Inventário de Vinculação a Pais e Pares (IPPA), das relações entre problemas de externalização, problemas de internalização e vinculação aos pais, reportados por pré-adolescentes portugueses, numa amostra de 258 sujeitos, 124 rapazes (48.1 %), e 134 raparigas (51.9 %), entre os 9 e 12 anos (M = 10.34; DP = 0.88). Estudou-se a relação entre a presença de problemas de comportamento reportados pelos pré-adolescentes e os mesmos problemas reportados pelos seus pais, tendo-se obtido correlações positivas e significativas entre ambas as avaliações. Maior segurança na vinculação aos pais (i.e., maiores valores nas dimensões “Aceitação mútua-compreensão”, “Comunicação-proximidade afetiva” e menores no “Afastamento-rejeição”) correlaciona negativamente com os problemas de comportamento reportados pelos próprios, reforçando a importância da segurança das relações de vinculação aos pais na manutenção de comportamentos mais adaptados nos adolescentes
Escala de Experiencia Universitaria (EExU) || College Experience Scale (EExU)
Authors: Juárez Angélica , Silva Cecilia
Published: July 2017

La experiencia de ser estudiante universitario (Experiencia Universitaria) ha sido poco estudiada hasta ahora. Sin embargo, la investigación en este campo puede proporcionarnos información valiosa acerca de la calidad de vida académica, el bienestar o el estrés en esta población. Existe una falta de instrumentos psicológicos que exploren este constructo teórico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar y validar una escala para medir las Experiencias Universitarias, por tal razón se invitó a participar a 314 estudiantes universitarios de diferentes carreras, con promedio de edad de 20 años, para la validación de la escala. Se obtuvo una escala con validez aceptable, teniendo en cuenta que es una primera herramienta para medir el constructo estudiado. La escala tiene una estructura de cuatro factores: satisfacción con la experiencia, percepción de apoyo, percepción de la experiencia y ajuste al estilo de vida. Estos factores explican el 43.1% de la varianza. La agrupación en los factores del Instrumento de Experiencia Universitaria corrobora lo referido en la literatura y al ser este el primer instrumento que evalúa este constructo contamos con poca información sobre otros referentes similares. Sin embargo, para futuros estudios se buscará comprobar el comportamiento de la escala en diferentes grupos de estudiantes y analizar sus propiedades en su asociación con otras variables psicológicas que atañen a los estudiantes universitarios y su salud.
Estado anímico y juicios de satisfacción académica: infusión afectiva analizada mediante redes semánticas || Mood and academic satisfaction judgments: affective infusion analyzed by semantic networks
Authors: Flores-Kanter Pablo Ezequiel , Rossi Silvia Adriana , Llamas Julieta , Medrano Leonardo Adrián
Published: July 2017

La Satisfacción Académica ha demostrado ser una variable clave para comprender y promover el comportamiento académico óptimo en la población universitaria. Diferentes investigaciones han demostrado además que los juicios de satisfacción, al igual que otros juicios sociales, no reflejan necesariamente estados internos estables. Por el contrario, estarían sujetos a una variedad de influencias transitorias, como pueden ser los estados anímicos. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo principal verificar la relación entre el estado de ánimo y los juicios de satisfacción académica en estudiantes universitarios. La muestra fue dividida en dos grupos en función del estado de ánimo predominante (grupo de afecto negativo intenso n = 46 y grupo afecto positivo intenso n = 48), comparando luego los grupos respecto a la satisfacción académica. Mientras el estado de ánimo se midió con la escala PANAS, los juicios de satisfacción se obtuvieron mediante la Técnica de Redes Semánticas Naturales. Consistentemente con la Teoría de la Red Asociativa y el Modelo de Procesamiento de la Información, los resultados muestran que la elaboración cognitiva de la satisfacción académica varía de manera congruente con el estado anímico predominante en los estudiantes. Se discuten las implicaciones y limitaciones del estudio.

The "Draw-A-Religious Jew" Test and Students’ Religious Identities
Authors: Reingold Matt
Published: July 2017

A quantitative arts-based study was conducted with high school juniors and seniors at a community Jewish school in Toronto. This group represented a diverse mixture of students who populate the school in relation to gender, involvement in school life and religious denominations. Students were prompted to draw a religious Jew and the images were scored based on five different markers. Of the 35 drawings, only one female was drawn. Additionally, the majority of students drew charedi Orthodox Jews, despite none being present in the study group. The article concludes by addressing the problem with how students understand the word religious and offers suggestions for how to reframe religious identity in a way that reflects pluralism and denominational diversity.
Artful Inquiry and the Unexpected Ethical Turn: Exploring Identity through Creative Engagement with Grades 9-12 Students in Guatemala and Canada
Authors: Carter Mindy
Published: July 2017

This paper presents a research project conducted with Grades 9-12 students in Canada and Guatemala where the visual arts were used to explore identity. Participants engaged in a short-term artful inquiry in which they were asked to create a piece of visual art that represented their cultural roots, self in present society and hopes for the future. Various modes of representation including drawing and collage were used. When considering the data, emergent themes and the overall project, unexpected reverberations about the ethical impact of doing arts based work emerged. These questions led to further questions about how creative engagement, individual and collective transformation within the classroom environment does/does not occur as a result of creative engagement.
Teaching for the Ambiguous, Creative, and Practical: Daring to be A/R/Tography
Authors: Ingalls Vanada Delane
Published: July 2017

This purpose of this inquiry is to explore how an a/r/tographic model of shared inquiry led to deeper insights about learner-centered pedagogy. Invited to teach and redesign a very large ‘Art & Society: Visual Arts’ course at a large university with a 21st century issues-based focus, together with my commitment as a constructivist, learner-centered teacher, the current phenomenological study was born. The phenomena studied was whether a large, lecture-style class taught from a more non-traditional, non-lecture, art-as-experience, learner-centered epistemology might affect students’ balanced thinking and perceptions about their learning. Students’ perceptions, along with the regulatory role of emotions, are critical factors in motivation and behavior; students’ self-beliefs about learning and their capabilities affect their behavior, resilience, and persistence in the face of challenge.Arts-based methods of inquiry with multiple forms of data, regarding both students’ and researcher’s lived experiences resulted in new artforms and informed praxis. After a student survey was determined the best way to poll perceptions about their learning in a more constructivist environment, the author’s Mixed Parallaxic Praxis method emerged from this study. Key findings indicated students’ increased openness to other perspectives and to cultural and creative experiences, increased engagement and a personal desire/thirst to create art, and a personal confidence to analyze art—despite their lack of former experience with artmaking or art instruction in high school. Qualitative and survey data informed how learner-centered practices enhance students’ self-beliefs about their abilities as creative learners, so important to overall motivation and capacity to learn overall.

El lenguaje como exilio y el lenguaje como morada en las relaciones de alteridad: un acercamiento desde dos obras literarias de J.M Coetzee
Authors: Betancur Valencia Diela Bibiana , Areiza Pérez Érica
Published: July 2017

Dentro de la narrativa contemporánea, la obra del sudafricano John Maxwell Coetzee se traduce en un universo ficcional de vital importancia para comprender el fenómeno del colonialismo, así como las guerras y los exilios asociados a él. En esta propuesta nos interesa problematizar y comprender el lugar que ocupa el lenguaje en las relaciones de alteridad que se tejen en medio del conflicto, la opresión y el aislamiento, en las obras Foe (1986) y La edad de hierro (1990). A través de los personajes de estas novelas nos adentraremos en las posibilidades o imposibilidades del lenguaje en tanto configuración cultural determinada por circunstancias sociohistóricas. Finalmente, la mirada del rostro del otro, el lenguaje como morada o como gramática de lo inhumano, serán algunas metáforas que participarán en la configuración de sentido alrededor de los temas enunciados.
El problema del nombre Los casos de Jorge Barón Biza y Julián Herbert
Authors: Musitano Julia
Published: July 2017

Dos relatos sobre el dolor ajeno. Dos madres convalecientes en una cama de hospital, dos hijos sentados en el sillón contiguo a esa cama. Dos hijos que escriben en primera persona para intentar escaparle al dolor con la simple diferencia que uno usa su nombre para hacerlo y el otro elige modificarlo. Me interesa leer juntos El desierto y su semilla de Jorge Baron Biza y Canción de tumba de Julián Herbert para indagar en el problema del nombre propio. En el análisis sobre la ambigüedad entre autobiografía y novela que revelan ambas autoficciones, quisiera problematizar sobre la elección del nombre para poder primero establecer la operatividad del término autoficción; y segundo, señalar, en cada caso, la singularidad de la voz narrativa a través de la técnica que pone en tensión los mecanismos de recuerdo y memoria

La precocidad en la autobiografía mexicana: un proyecto editorial. Nuevos escritores mexicanos del siglo XX presentados por sí mismos
Authors: Gutiérrez Piña Claudia
Published: July 2017

Nuevos escritores mexicanos del siglo XX presentados por sí mismos” fue un proyecto editorial emprendido entre 1966 y 1968 por Rafael Giménez Siles y Emmanuel Carballo, quienes supieron reconocer en la autobiografía un instrumento ideal para forjar la imagen de algunos escritores en aras de un interés público naciente. Esta serie, que convocó a once jóvenes escritores (menores de 35 años) para que escribieran su autobiografía, revela su importancia no sólo por el lugar que ocupan los textos aislados dentro de la obra de sus autores, sino también como un hito dentro de la tradición autobiográfica mexicana.
La autoficción: simulacro de teoría o desfiguraciones de un género
Authors: Diaconu Diana
Published: July 2017

El objetivo de esta contribución es ofrecer una visión crítica y un balance del estado actual de la reflexión sobre la autoficción en el ámbito hispanoamericano. Con este propósito ubico y analizo los principales lugares comunes en las actuales propuestas teóricas y críticas sobre la autoficción, tratando de analizar en qué sentidos distorsionan el panorama actual de una teoría de la autoficción todavía en proceso de construcción. Señalar los lugares comunes de la crítica pasa a menudo por el análisis de las lecturas erróneas, que desenfocan planteamientos fundamentales acerca de la naturaleza de la autoficción, así como por la operación de rescate de sentidos esenciales, caídos en el olvido o mistificados. Finalmente, indico algunos caminos a seguir para la crítica, direcciones inexploradas o abandonadas antes de tiempo y que considero valiosas para una teoría de la autoficción. Recuperar la perspectiva sociocultural, que permite emprender la búsqueda del significado del género, ofrecería, además, la ventaja de hacer posible un análisis de las particularidades del género autoficcional en América Latina —tarea urgente y crucial de la teoría y la crítica literarias contemporáneas.
Uma abordagem jurídica de análise de políticas públicas
Authors: Castro Marco Tulio de barros e , Mello Maria Tereza Leopardi
Published: July 2017

Constitui objetivo do presente trabalho a proposição de uma abordagem jurídica de análise de políticas públicas, que faz uso de elementos metodológicos constantes nas contribuições de Bobbio, Bucci, Coutinho e Weber. A referida abordagem adota as seguintes premissas: (i) as políticas públicas são iniciativas de base racional que visam à solução de uma determinada situação reputada como problemática do ponto de vista social; (ii) a ação governamental é o núcleo central das políticas públicas; (iii) as políticas públicas são intrinsecamente complexas: envolvem um conjunto heterogêneo de atores públicos e privados que possuem diferentes motivações e visões acerca dos problemas existentes e soluções possíveis; políticas são compostas por um aglutinado de processos estruturados em função de um determinado arranjo institucional de natureza complexa e existem condicionantes de diversos graus e intensidade que influenciam, em termos gerais, a capacidade estatal de elaboração e implementação de intervenções; (iv) o direito apresenta um caráter transversal, permeando todos os níveis e estágios das políticas públicas, seja na definição de objetivos, diretrizes e princípios da ação governamental, seja afetando os microprocessos existentes na formulação e implementação de políticas públicas e (v) o direito deve ser entendido sob uma perspectiva funcional, que se ocupe de suas diversas funções e com a produção dos efeitos do sistema jurídico, reconhecendo a relevância dos arranjos institucionais na produção de tais efeitos.
PSYCHO-PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS TO INCREASE COGNITIVE ACTIVITY OF JUNIOR SCHOOLCHILDREN
Authors: Dmitrieva L. G. , Nasyrova A. A. , Kolesnikova N. A. , Bunakova M. S.
Published: July 2017

The article is devoted to the role of increase of junior schoolchildren’s cognitive activity as an important condition for the development of cognitive abilities of  learners.  Psycho-pedagogical  support  should  be  focused  on  the  development of cognitive functions of junior schoolchildren, and psychologists and parents should be involved in this process, as well as the teachers. Traditionally, psycho-pedagogical support at primary school focuses on the child's adaptation to the new educational environment.  We  consider  that  a  child  needs  the  same  support  in  the  process of mastering  the  curriculum.  There  is  no  true  support  without  an  emotional involvement and empathy, and as a result cognitive activity of a child might suffer greatly. It was proven by empirical results obtained in an ordinary school, where no innovative teaching methods are used. At the end of primary school pupils have a significantly reduced motivation, teachers express no serious interest in problems of junior high school students. Not entirely satisfactory educational environment also could not provide a positive influence on the development of cognitive sphere.
EFFECT OF ASYMMETRY OF SEMANTIC ACTIVATION IN UNCONSCIOUS AWARENESS OF AMBIGUOUS LEXIS
Authors: Kryukova A. P. , Agafonov A. Yu. , Kozlov D. D. , Shilov Yu. E.
Published: July 2017

The article addresses the issue of perception and processing of ambiguous information. Experimental effects of understanding of polysemantic stimuli (homonyms, reversed figures) on conscious and unconscious levels have been analyzed. It is shown that implicit awareness of several meanings occurs before the explication of one meaning of stimulus take place. The aim of the current research is to discover the effect of asymmetry of semantic activation in unconscious perception of ambiguous information (in homonyms). The  procedures  and  results  of  the  two  conducted  studies  are  fully  described. In Experiment 1, technique of priming was used, in which ambiguous words were used as prime stimuli. Participants were randomly divided into four groups (two experimental and two control groups). Unconscious primes with visual mask were demonstrated to participants of experimental groups. Then, two words were demonstrated, only one of which had semantic relation to one meaning of the prime stimulus. The sets of stimuli in the experimental groups differed only in the words that were semantically related to the meaning of the ambiguous prime. The words that were not semantically related to the prime stimuli were identical. Then all partici pants (including participants in control groups) were told to choose as quickly as they could one word of two, using keys “left” or “right”. The results supported the hypothesis about the asymmetry of semantic activation in general. Participants did choose words related to particular meaning of prime stimuli more often.

In Experiment 2, participants were asked to write down associations with the same words that were used as primes in Experiment 1. The results have shown that stronger association between prime and ambiguous stimuli facilitates priming-effect, while weaker association makes priming-effect insignificant.

The present research supports the proposition that all alternative meanings of ambiguous words are more or less actualized implicitly, which influences further cognitive activity. The described phenomenon was labeled as the effect of semantic activation asymmetry. On the unconscious level, this asymmetry shows up as quantitative difference between priming-effects. On the conscious level, this asymmetry shows up as easiness  and  accessibility  of  verbal associations  on  corresponding  meaning of the ambiguous word.

Published: July 2017

The  paper  proposes  an  analysis  of  the  idioms  that  have  reference to the modus of gustatory perception. The main goal of the paper is to study structural and semantic features of the idioms belonging to this group as well as to consider cognitive and stylistic characteristics of their representation in English literary texts, specifically in W. S. Maugham’s novels “Theatre” and “The Razor’s Edge”. The classifications of the idioms according to the perceptive predicates and to their abilities to characterize either a perceptive subject, or a perceptive object, or perceptive activity itself are presented. The features of their usage in fiction are in the focus of attention.
RECEPTIVE STRATEGIES OF Y. KLAVDIEV'S PLAY "THE YAKUZA DOGS"
Authors: Volkova T. N.
Published: July 2017

The article discusses the play by contemporary playwright Yuri Klavdiev "TheYakuza Dogs." Here is a detailed (but not exhaustive) analysis of the cultural codes. According to the author of the study, the languages of animation, cinema, classical  and  fictional  literature,  computer  games  and  eastern  philosophy  form in the play, a specific "dialect" addressed to its teenage reader. The article emphasizes that a reading teenager is different from a child-reader and an adult reader: their receptive capabilities are largely defined by puberty crisis. On the one hand, in fiction a teenager looks for dynamics and heroics, and, on the other hand, they are eager to face  the  social  reality  fierce  with  its  innumerable  conflicts.  In  the  first  case, the teenagers manifest  themselves  as a  child-reader with  their interest for action and the  struggle  between  good  and  evil.  In  the  second  case,  on  the  contrary, as an adult, since the ability to see the border that separates the tale from life belongs only to a well-formed reader.
THE IMAGEIS OF GERMAN CITIES IN RUSSIAN TRAVELOGUES AT THE TURN OF XIX CENTURY
Authors: Zhdanov S. S.
Published: July 2017

The  paper  deals  with  specific  features  of  representing  German  cities and towns   in   Russian   travelogues   at   the   turn   of   the   XIX century   written by V. N. Zinov'ev,  D. I. Fonvizin,  N. M. Karamzin  and  F. P. Lubyanovskiy.  These texts reflect pursuance of Russian self-identity on the basis of comparison with Western Europe, in particular, with Germany. The Russian authors focus on culturespecific elements of the represented locuses. Cleanness, comfort, space limitation and closeness should also be mentioned as characteristics of the German urban chronotopos. The urban locus is represented from two points of view: as a space of cultural artifacts and as an anthropic space of citizens. The second aspect is important for N. M. Karamzin and F. P. Lubyanovskiy’s sentimentalistic texts but can hardly be found  in  works  by  V. N. Zinov'ev  and  D. I. Fonvizin.  The  urban  descriptions in sentimentalists’ travelogues are more voluminous, filled with figures of speech, different historic and contemporaneous realia.
FEATURES OF ADMINISTRATIVE-TERRITORIAL POSITION OF RUSSIA IN THE EARLY XIX CENTURY (AS EXEMPLIFIED BY SIBERIA)
Authors: Gergilev D. N. , Dureeva N. S.
Published: July 2017

The article features the formation and development of state power in Siberia in the early XIX century. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of management tools formed as a result of the provincial reforms of Catherine II. In addition, the authors analyze the contradictory tendencies characteristic of the first phase of the reign of Alexander I. The special role of I. O. Selifontov and his project of administrative reform in the formation of management policies in Siberia is reported. It is shown that the result of the audit conducted by Selifontov was the formation in 1803 of a united Siberian General-governorship with the centre in Irkutsk and that, together with the new position, the new Governor-General received special instructions, which greatly expanded his powers. It is shown that the purpose of Selifontov’s administrative reforms was the expansion of the influence of the GovernorGeneral's authority on the financial and economic part of the local management. The article reveals the inconsistency of Selifontov’s successor B. Pestel and his administration. It is proved that Siberia got involved in the course of world history precisely because it joined the Russian State.
THE ARCTIC REGION IN POLITICS OF AMERICAN STATES: PAST AND PRESENT

Published: July 2017

The  article  analyzes  the  historical  experience  and  the  basic  stages of development  of  the  North  American  Arctic  states  in  the  twentieth  century. With the new data, and based on the historical method, the article reveals changing relationships of these states to the Arctic in their successive temporary development during the second half of XX – beginning of XXI centuries. The article features the evolution  of  the  position  of  the  authorities  in  Ottawa  and  Washington to the region in the context of developing and conducting them in the national interests and security policy.

The conclusion is that the policy of the US government and Canada to coordinate their  actions  in  the  region  under  the  pretext  of  defending  national  interests and to counter  external  threats,  has  some  historical  positive  outcome,  along with some  well-known  commitments.  Security  Policy  in  these  countries  limits the competence of the state threats to their territorial integrity, which does not give the  government  the  authority  to  undue  interference  in  areas  that  are  governed by market forces and civil society. In the light of the impending changes caused by the election of D. Trump, this circumstance should be exploited for excluding the very possibility of military conflict from the political process the Arctic countries.

The study of history of cultural and educational society’s activity, as well as the way they influence the socio-cultural space of provincial towns, contributes to holistic perception of cultural development of Siberia as well as Russia in general. Some  issues  relating  to  creation  and  development  of  Barnaul  Society  of  Care for Elementary Education and its educational activity through libraries are considered in the article. The society was founded due to the selfless work of such an outstanding public person as V. K. Shtilke. Shtilke’s initiative as well as the initiative of other members of the society contributed to the opening of schools for children and weekend schools for adults, strengthening of public education through library organization, public readings, lectures, accessible performances. The main directions, methods, forms and results of educational work identified in the course of the study have led to the conclusion about the leading role of the Society in extracurricular education in Barnaul in 1880s – the beginning of 20th century. The conclusion about the significant influence of libraries of the Society on the dissemination of book culture among the broad masses of the population is justified.

Published: July 2017

The  article  substantiates  the  relevance  of  studying  the  everyday  life of the Siberian journalists in the second half of XIX – early XX centuries. The authors offer approaches to its study, determine the content of basic concepts.

A combination of several not internally contradictory approaches to the study of everyday life of the professional community of journalists in the provinces of the Russian Empire located behind the Urals seems to be productive.

First, we relate the topic of our research interests with subject field of anthropology of  professions,  which  are  characterized  by  attention  to  issues  about  the  criteria for belonging to the professional community, assessment of the status of the profession by professionals and society, relations between different actors within the professional group, conflicts and forms of self-organization of professionals.

Second, the topic requires an appeal to the works of historians of everyday life. The definition   of   the   subject   area   of   everyday   life   by   N.   L.   Pushkareva and S. V. Ljubichansky  as  well  as  theoretical  provisions  by  A.  Ludtke  are  used as a baseline. In relation to the reality under study, the concepts of «journalists» and «Siberian journalist» are revealed, come conclusions about the specificity of formation of socioprofessional group of Siberian journalists in the second half of XIX – early XX centuries are made.
LABOUR POTENTIAL OF SIBERIA ON THE EVE OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR: EVALUATION OF MOBILIZATION OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: Romanov R. E.
Published: July 2017

The article attempts to evaluate the mobilization opportunities of the labor potential of Siberia on the eve of the Great Patriotic War. For this purpose, based on the materials of  All-Union census of 1939, the research identified the demographic, socio-economic and socio-cultural features of the formation of the population aged 15 – 59 used later in the military economy of Siberian rear. It was concluded that from the point of view of intensive economic use of the strengths of the human array was the high proportion of youth, intense dynamics of migration and economic activity, low level of industrial employment, the existence of large reserves of female labor force in urban and rural areas. Weak sides of this array were the disperse nature of population distribution, low fixability of migrants in large cities, a significant share of male reservists, higher overall employment, low levels of literacy and education. In general, these quality characteristics in wartime conditions had an ambiguous and contradictory effect on the mobilization of human resources in Siberia in the industry of defense significance.

Authors: Bulatov A. A. , Emelyanov V. G. , Mikhailov K. S.
Published: July 2017

Flatfoot deformity represents a complex pathology often observed in active adult population. Conservative treatment does not  always yield the intended outcome.  Various  surgical  methods  addressing  mentioned pathology  were actively developing  during  past decades. However,  despite  diversity  of procedures there  are many contradictions in respect  of necessity  and efficiency of a certain  procedure especially in grades II and IV of the disease. The paper presents  clinical, roentgenological and biomechanical  features of acquired flatfoot deformity. The authors  analyzed literature publications dedicated to different correction methods  adopted  in world orthopaedics.
Exploring the Capacity of Formal School Governing Bodies in Rural Ghana: The Case of Effutu Municipality
Authors: Ghanney Robert Andrews
Published: July 2017

As part of wider social and democratic governance reforms, the Government of Ghana embarked on a process of education decentralization in 1987 (GOG, 1996). The central focus of this policy was the prescription of community participation in the affairs of school in each locality (Essuman & Akyeampong, 2011). Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) policy recommends the formation of School Management Committees (SMCs), governing bodies and Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) by individual schools to work hand-in-hand with the head teacher and guide him/her in school policy formulation (GES, 2001). Capacity has become a topical issue in decentralisation discourse and critics of the latter have argued against the lack of technical and human resource availability at the local level (De Grauwe et al., 2005; Robinson, 2007), but unfortunately, research on capacity of formal governance bodies appears to have been less undertaken in poorer rural areas in Ghana. In recognition of this, the study sought to understand the nature and quality of capacity and how that impact on participation in school from the perspectives of SMCs in two rural school communities in Effutu Municipality. The study adopted qualitative methods of focus groups, supported by some initial documentary analysis to gain understanding of school governance from key stakeholder perspectives. The findings revealed that although formal school governing bodies existed in the rural study communities, many of the SMC members lacked human and material resource to engage fully in school management. The study recommends capacity building and training programmes to enable the SMC members upgrade their knowledge and skills in school governance.
Céu: fato ou ficção? Uma abordagem histórico-bíblica-teológica
Authors: De Souza Tiago Dias
Published: July 2017

O texto tem como objetivo descrever o desenvolvimento histórico-bíblico-teológico do conceito de céu desde a antiguidade até a contemporaneidade. O trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com tratamento qualitativo dos dados. As civilizações – desde as mais antigas - desenvolveram no decorrer dos tempos uma maneira típica de pensar e falar sobre o céu, tendo como elemento comum o padrão do céu como morada da “Suprema divindade”. Independente de lugar ou religião, o céu sempre foi um contraste daquilo que se vive aqui neste mundo. O estudo indicou que a noção de céu não é apenas algo que pertence à religião cristã, ele está relacionado a povos e culturas desde as mais remotas até as atuais. No entanto, no decorrer dos tempos e em especifico neste século presente, o que notamos é uma forte ênfase em espiritualizar o céu, deixando este de ser um lugar.
Escrevendo uma História de Israel em X aEC: notas arqueológicas sobre a afiliação territorial de Khirbet Qeiyafa
Authors: Cardoso Silas Klein
Published: July 2017

Um dos mais importantes achados de nosso milênio para a arqueologia das terras da Bíblia, sem dúvida, é Khirbet Qeiyafa. O sitio apresenta características da transição do Ferro I para o Ferro IIA e assente com o período das histórias bíblicas de Davi e Saul. Um dos fatores mais presentes na discussão é a filiação politico-territorial nesse momento chave da historia israelita. Fazendo fronteira entre o território filisteu, benjaminita e judaíta, o sitio teria sido extensão do território da dinastia saulida ou davidida? Apresentamos, neste ensaio, uma proposta da historia da pesquisa e dos achados.
As várias faces do fundamentalismo protestante no Brasil: por uma discussão terminológica e conceitual
Authors: Campos Breno Martins , Da Silva Saulo Inácio
Published: July 2017

Como resultado de pesquisa bibliográfica de fontes não necessariamente unânimes entre si, este artigo contribui para a compreensão do campo evangélico no Brasil por comparação com a realidade estadunidense do passado e do presente, e pela discussão das relações do fundamentalismo com o neofundamentalismo, o pentecostalismo e o neopentecostalismo (ou pós-pentecostalismo). O objetivo geral perseguido ao longo das seções é demonstrar que, hoje, fundamentalismo é um termo que nomeia vários fenômenos; e que, portanto, é mais adequado observar (para entender) o que fazem os fundamentalistas do que esboçar quaisquer definições conceituais. Por não ser uma igreja ou denominação instituída, o fundamentalismo no Brasil vai da presença no protestantismo histórico à circulação dentre os neopentecostais; do pré-milenarismo dispensacionalista do pentecostalismo tradicional ao pós-milenarismo adaptado dos pós-pentecostais. Em contrapartida, ao longo do século XX e até hoje, num ponto todas as faces do fundamentalismo concordaram e ainda tendem a concordar: há uma única verdade (retirada de muitos modos da mesma Bíblia) e, como consequência, o divergente precisa mudar, caso contrário, torna-se intolerável – funcionamento que revela o fanatismo dos fundamentalistas. Mais recentemente, a política foi o caminho adotado para a entrada dos fiéis no espaço público e para a tentativa de conversão, ainda que à força, da sociedade à moralidade dos fundamentalistas.
A identidade do Evangelicalismo Latino-Americano: Uma análise a partir Conferência de Lausanne (1974)
Authors: Da Silva Ana Rosa Cloclet , Santos Simões Eduardo Vagner
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo analisa a formação da identidade evangelical latino-americana a partir de seus contingentes históricos, na segunda metade do século XX. Especificamente, partindo do problema semântico que, atualmente, envolve o termo “evangélico”, situa as singularidades do discurso que institui as bases teológicas e a missiologia do movimento, nos marcos de 1950-1974. Baseado no instrumental teórico de Bourdieu, acerca do conceito de “campo religioso”, desenvolve uma abordagem histórica do contexto no qual configuraram-se os referenciais identitários do evangelicalismo latino-americano, culminando com a análise das preleções proferidas no Congresso de Lausanne (1974), um momento decisivo na maturidade da identidade evangelical
Pluralidade religiosa brasileira: a importância do diálogo inter-religioso
Authors: Silva Airton Vitorino da , Ulrich Claudete Beise
Published: July 2017

É fundamental para uma convivência humana fraterna o reconhecimento da pluralidade. O Brasil possui uma rica diversidade cultural e religiosa. No entanto, percebe-se, por parte de alguns grupos a intolerância religiosa, a falta de respeito á alteridade. Isto se manifesta, especialmente, em relação às religiões de matriz africana. O diálogo inter-religioso se apresenta como um elemento fundamental para a superação da intolerância religiosa. Conhecer o outro, numa relação de alteridade respeitosa, conduz para uma convivência de compromisso e cuidado com as pessoas e com toda a criação.
