La privatización de los servicios de inteligencia: ¿Futuro o una vuelta al pasado?
Authors: Bastos Boubeta Miguel Anxo , López Rodríguez Alfonso A.
Published: December 2019

Los cambio operados en  la realidad de los estados en el siglo XXI hacen emerger realidades y prácticas que, en principio, pareceían extintas, uno de esos ámbitos polémicos es el de la inteligencia. Los desarrolos y cambios desde finales del pasado siglo han propiciado un resurgimiento de la actividad de actores privados dentro de este ámbito en actividades donde no alcanzar o no quieren llegar las instituciones estales, pero de dónde les resulta preciso y precioso obtener conocimientos e información necesaria para la producción de seguridad.
La influencia de la economía en el voto en España: de la bonanza de 2000 a la crisis de 2011
Authors: Mora Rodríguez Alberto , Moreno Martínez Cristina
Published: December 2019

Esta investigación pretende contrastar la teoría de la asimetría del voto económico para el caso español. Esta teoría asume que los efectos del voto económico son mayores en épocas de crisis que en períodos de prosperidad económica. Es decir, se parte de que el castigo en las urnas como consecuencia de situaciones económicas desfavorables, es mayor que el premio en situaciones de bonanza. Las conclusiones de Fraile (2002) refutaron este planteamiento en España, analizando los casos de 1996 y 2000. En este estudio se presenta nueva evidencia, comparando los efectos de la economía en el voto en las elecciones de 2000 y 2011. Para el análisis, se utiliza una ecuación de voto usando la técnica de la regresión logística, con datos de estudios de panel del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas. En el modelo elaborado para el análisis, se incluyen indicadores que dan cuenta de los principales debates teóricos que vertebran el estudio del voto económico. Las conclusiones apoyan las del estudio citado, discutiéndose los resultados del análisis a la luz de las especificidades de los comicios analizados.
¡Que se vayan todos, que no quede uno solo! La crisis institucional en Chile: factores contributivos del socavamiento de las bases culturales de la democracia (1990-2018)
Authors: Osorio Rauld Nelson Alejandro
Published: December 2019

El artículo analiza algunos factores institucionales y estructurales que han contribuido progresivamente a un divorcio entre ciudadanía y representantes en el caso chileno. Este distanciamiento entre política y sociedad ha sido denominado por diversos autores como “crisis institucional”. Se sostiene que existe una amalgama de elementos que han contribuido decididamente a este socavamiento de las bases culturales de la democracia, entre los que se encuentran, el diseño institucional de democracia protegida con sus enclaves autoritarios, los repetidos casos de corrupción que han minado la confianza ciudadana, además de una crónica mala distribución de la riqueza. Estos elementos han sido muy relevantes en la producción de una creciente desafección política que ha devenido en fuertes movilizaciones sociales, las que han puesto en cuestionamiento la legitimidad de las instituciones democráticas.
Stress Resistance Screen in a Human Primary Cell Line Identifies Small Molecules That Affect Aging Pathways and Extend Caenorhabditis elegans’ Lifespan
Authors: Zhang Peichuan , Zhai Yuying , Cregg James , Ang Kenny Kean-Hooi , Arkin Michelle , Kenyon Cynthia
Published: December 2019

Increased resistance to environmental stress at the cellular level is correlated with the longevity of long-lived mutants and wild-animal species. Moreover, in experimental organisms, screens for increased stress resistance have yielded mutants that are long-lived. To find entry points for small molecules that might extend healthy longevity in humans, we screened ∼100,000 small molecules in a human primary-fibroblast cell line and identified a set that increased oxidative-stress resistance. Some of the hits fell into structurally related chemical groups, suggesting that they may act on common targets. Two small molecules increased C. elegans’ stress resistance, and at least 9 extended their lifespan by ∼10–50%. We further evaluated a chalcone that produced relatively large effects on lifespan and were able to implicate the activity of two, stress-response regulators, NRF2/skn-1 and SESN/sesn-1, in its mechanism of action. Our findings suggest that screening for increased stress resistance in human cells can enrich for compounds with promising pro-longevity effects. Further characterization of these compounds may reveal new ways to extend healthy human lifespan.
On periodic points of torus endomorphisms
Authors: Kurenkov Evgeniy D. , Mints Dmitriy I.
Published: December 2019

It is a well-known fact that Anosov endomorphisms of n-torus which are different from automorphisms and expanding endomorphisms are not structurally stable and, in general, are not conjugated to algebraic endomorphisms. Nevertheless, hyperbolic algebraic endomorphisms of torus are conjugated with their C1 perturbations on the set of periodic points. Therefore the study of algebraic toral endomorphisms is very important. This paper is devoted to study of the structure of the sets of periodic and pre-periodic points of algebraic toral endomorphisms. Various group properties of this sets of points are studied. The density of periodic points for algebraic endomorphisms of n-torus is proved; it is clarifief how the number of periodic and pre-periodic points with a fixed denominator depends on the properties of the characteristic polynomial. The Theorem 1.1 is the main result of this paper. It contains an algorithm that allows to split the sets of periodic and pre-periodic points of a given algebraic endomorphism of two-dimensional torus.

COMMUNICATION LEVELS OF THE INDIVIDUAL
Authors: V. M. Rubskyi
Published: December 2019

Purpose. The article deals with the problem of mutual perception of individuals, which implies the analysis of the anthropological prerequisites for the study of interpersonal communication. The work emphasizes the need to identify the gnoseological lacuna of the possibility and relevance of knowing someone else’s "I". As well as the need to point out implicit metaphysical attitudes, universal for many worldviews, which are implicitly included in the theory of personal communication. Theoretical basis. The author proceeds from the logical consequences of the evolutionary premise in anthropology. He compares the psychophysical goals of the interpersonal communication task with its ideological theory, monitors the impossibility of the realizing the communication level declared in the consciousness. As an opposite evolutionary premise, the author cites the postulates of the "philosophy of dialogue" by F. Rosenzweig, F. Ebner, M. Buber, and others. The correlation of these philosophical positions reveals the inconsistency of materialistic reduction in anthropology. Originality. The author identifies four levels of communication: background, obstacle, function and dialogue. He represents the rationale for the fact that the first three levels do not need the existence of an individual "I". The first three levels leave the existential "I" unnecessary and therefore unclaimed. The philosophy of dialogue with the Other raises an equally important question about the conditions for the possibility of a metaphysical continuum in ontology, and in turn, suggests the acceptance of a philosophical premise about God as the space of subjectivity in the "I-You" dialogue. Conclusions. Philosophical understanding of the communication of two existential "I" demanded in communication is possible only within the framework of religious discourse. The phenomenal consciousness can enter into communication with a specific other phenomenal consciousness only when there is a metaphysical space between them, allowing for the possibility of communication of such a level. The materialistic conditioning by the human evolutionary needs in all its conceivable forms produces a reduction of the communicative inquiry, which makes the mutual perception of the two "I" impossible. In this psychophysiological anthropological model, there is no space for the possibility of a dialogue of individuals.
RELIGIOUS FAITH: EXISTENTIAL-ANTHROPOLOGICAL MEANINGS
Authors: Predko O. I.
Published: December 2019

Purpose. The aim of this article is to analyse the essential features of religious faith as an existential-personalistic model of the formation of a person, his worldview orientations and activities. This requires a consistent solution of the following tasks: a) to focus on different approaches to understanding the phenomenon of "religious faith" (as a problem of principled openness, incompleteness of a person; as the problem of "I-Other" relations; as a problem of synthesis of the human and the divine, etc.); b) to reveal the spiritual potential of religious faith, its capabilities in boundary situations. Theoretical basis. The author thinks that the interpretation of religious faith as confidence in the invisible is unsatisfactory, one-sided and superficial. Religious faith is the existential, due to which a person overcomes the contradictions between finiteness and infinity. It is the construct of the human spirit, which makes its way into the transcendental realm. In this context, religious faith is a kind of criterion for the "growth" of the "human" in human, the criterion of his spirituality and humanity. Religious faith, being an integral part of human existence, gives it irrational dimensions, makes the possibility of impossible. The existential potential of religious faith serves as the "fulcrum" of a person, thanks to which he self-actualizes, self-fulfills and forms a certain worldview model. Originality. The author has proved that religious faith, which is the projective model of a person, turns out to be one of the possible ways to solve its existential problems, as it concerns not only the nature of the essential characteristics, the properties of the Divine itself but also the ultimate foundations of person in all the uniqueness and specificity of his being. Conclusions. Religious faith, acting as a factor in human activity, builds his value-worldview model of the world. Faith deals with the "ultimate" problems of human existence since it is of exceptional importance in solving life-meaning issues of human existence. The existential experience of the believer acquires the status of an event that opens up a field of new possibilities, a new spiritual experience. The accumulative effect of such experience forms the spiritual and value priorities of human existence, sets certain coordinates of his vital activity, due to which he self-determines, being in dialogue with the Absolute. Religious faith, unfolding as a permanent process of "search and finding" opens the "code" of transcendence, a new level of relations of the Human and Divine.
AXIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF MORAL AND LEGAL DECISION-MAKING
Authors: Hoian I. M.
Published: December 2019

Purpose. The study seeks to clarify the preconditions for moral and legal decision-making based on the identification of axiological foundations that correlate with the moral perceptions of good and evil and psychological phenomena such as emotions. Theoretical basis of the study is to apply comparative, axiological, systemic methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze and disclose the essence of the process of moral and legal decision-making on the basis of certain axiological prerequisites and enables to substantiate the connection between the axiological and psychological aspects of taking moral and legal decisions. Originality of the work is to broaden the perceptions of the processes and mechanisms for making moral and legal decisions, which are based on the axiological dimension, in particular on the system of reference individual and social values. The study shows that every necessary moral and legal decision taken by a person is futurologically balanced in the emotional sense, rationally reasoned and morally perceptible in the context of man’s beliefs about good and evil, and realized with necessity in the personal system of reference values that determines the style and manner of individual and social behaviour in the context of material and spiritual values and is an axiological foundation for making all types of moral and legal decisions. Conclusions. Moral and legal decision-making is a social process that is connected with such a social essence of a person as rationality, which gives an opportunity to act axiologically. A person makes moral and legal decisions in a complex way, based on the unity of the moral, axiological and psychological aspects of his worldview, which are grounded on the system of reference values.
PHILOSOPHY OF INFORMATION AND TRANSHUMANISM: EXPLICATIONS OF PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
Authors: Marchenko O. V. , Kretov P. V.
Published: December 2019

Purpose. The research is aimed at finding out the grounds, forms and essence of the correlation between the projects of information philosophy and transhumanism from the point of view of the problematics of philosophical anthropology. Attention is focused on the status of the knowing subject and the transformations of the forms of its activity within the specified correlation. Theoretical basis. Insufficient thinking on the issue of the functioning of traditional cognitive models, in particular Kant’s transcendental questioning, which formed the basis of modern rationality and classical science, in the new sociocultural reality led the authors to problematize the forms and essence of interaction and operating with knowledge and communication in the information sphere of human existence and communication. A comparative consideration of the worldviews in the information philosophy and transhumanism projects, made on the basis of a study of current scientific literature, provided an opportunity to assume the probability of implicit elimination of the problems of philosophical anthropology from the horizon of meanings of modern science through the blurring of essentially anthropological analytics. Originality. The article proves the ambivalent nature of the correlation between the projects of philosophy and transhumanism information that are externally close on the subject and problematics, and for the first time in the domestic literature, they have been compared. The content of the powerful potential of information philosophy for the development of philosophical anthropology approaches to the phenomena of the human world determined by the technological nature of civilization and the powerful sociocultural issues of modernity have been clarified. The threats of the dehumanization of the problem field in the modern science and spheres of applied digital technologies associated with transhumanism, interpreted as an ideology, are underlined. Conclusions. The analysis of theoretical positions relevant for the philosophy of information and transhumanism resulted in a number of conclusions, central among which is the statement of the "blurring" situation, the hidden elimination in the content of problematics of philosophical anthropology and its humanistic pathos within the limits of modern forms of correlation and existence in the scientific discourse of the philosophemes and ideologemes in the information philosophy and transhumanism. Epistemological phenomena of "cognitive closure" and a man as a "blind spot" in the thinking on the science and technology development, primarily communication, indicate the relevance of a full comprehensive consideration of the problems of philosophical anthropology in projects of the information philosophy and transhumanism.
FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY STUDIES IN SOVIET UKRAINE
Authors: Rudenko S. V. , Turenko V. E.
Published: December 2019

Purpose of this article is the historical reconstruction of the studies in philosophical anthropology in Soviet Ukraine. Theoretical basis. In the philosophical tradition of independent Ukraine, there is an opinion that at the intersection of the 1960s and 1970s, there was an anthropological turn in the national philosophical thought. The authors provide a holistic and comprehensive reconstruction of philosophical understanding of man in the works of Ukrainian thinkers of the Soviet era. Originality. It has been proved that before the emergence of the Institute of Philosophy of the Soviet Ukraine Academy of Sciences and the restoration of the Philosophy Department at Kyiv State University, the writings of Ukrainian philosophers in the 1920s and 1930s emphasize specifically the "ideological" factor of human existence. Based on the materials of M. Maksymovych Academic Library and the library at H. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, there have been revealed and traced the specific features and peculiarities of the transformation of main accents in philosophical and anthropological studies of Soviet Ukrainian researchers in the post-war period. Conclusions. The studied problems developed in Soviet Ukraine in two vectors. The focus was on man as a social phenomenon and a "product of ideology" on the one hand, and, on existential aspects of a human being with its internal contradictions, understanding of its nature and the sense of existence, on the other hand. It has been established that the anthropological problems were the focus of not only scientists of the Institute of Philosophy of the Soviet Ukraine Academy of Sciences (Y. Andros, N. Holovko, P. Kopnin, Y. Ohrimenko, L. Sokhan, V. Tabachkovskyi, V. Shynkaruk), but also of teachers of Kyiv State University (F. Baikin, I. Bychko, M. Duchenko, I. Nadolnyi). The authors grounded the thesis that, unlike the 1940-1950s, when the focus was on philosophical problems of natural science and philosophical personology, the 1960s bring forward not only philosophical and anthropological studies but also ethical and aesthetic issues, logic and scientific atheism.
Information Analytics in the Organizational Structure of Libraries of Top-Rated Universities in Ukraine
Authors: Kobelev O. M.
Published: December 2019

Objective. To study of the organizational information and analytical structures of libraries of top-rated universities in Ukraine, in particular, of 4 domestic universities that entered the World University Rankings 2019.  Methods. The methodological basis of the study is the basic provisions of the general theory of social communications. Comparative analysis, sociocommunicative, information, adaptive and other approaches are used. Results. The form of organization of information and analytical activities in the library depends on its place in the library system and the existing organizational structure therein. There are two options for its organization. The first option involves the distribution of tasks between the existing library departments. The second one is the creation of an independent analytical unit in the organizational structure of the library. In the libraries of the universities under study, information and analytical functions are performed by other departments, primarily by the information and reference (bibliographic) units, information service as well as scientific and methodological (research) departments. Conclusions. Thus, information and analytical activity, even for scientific libraries of leading Ukrainian universities, remains primarily a tool for improving internal library processes, and not a separate product (service) that is purposefully produced and offered to readers. Meanwhile, the intensification of the use of information and analytical technologies in libraries, the creation of specialized units therein is one of the effective tools for optimizing library work.

On the Possibilities of Evaluating Properties of Scientific Documents on the Basis of their Citations Count (or again: What Property is Reflected by Citations Count par excellence, after all?). Part 2: Quality?
Authors: Lazarev V. S.
Published: December 2019

The objective is consideration of the recent works on the problem of the phenomenon reflected by citations count of scientific documents with a slant to the papers analyzing the citations count possibilities to reflect quality of cited research. The method: authoritative definitions of quality were under analysis and interpretation of corresponding research publications in the context of the results the mentioned analysis was undertaken. The results: citations count does not reflect quality of cited research as there are not causal relations between quality and citedness. The conclusions: since in practice the results of the citations count for documents value assessment and of peer assessment of their quality may mostly coincide, this makes it possible still to use citations count as a proxy indicator of quality. As for the “negative” citations, they seem to refer to cited items of high value, but of low quality.
The Role of Libraries as Publishers in the Open Education Landscape: Reflecting Modern World Practice of Open Textbooks
Authors: Kolesnykova T. O.
Published: December 2019

Objective. The study aims to analyse the experience of university libraries in different countries in working with the Open Textbook (OT) and to consider the prospects of creating a similar pilot project in Ukraine. Methods. The analysis covered the world publications (journals, books, conference proceedings, posts on social networks) in the field of Library and Information Science, devoted to the role of libraries in OT support, that have appeared since 2014. The author studied the aspects revealing that publication, namely OT, support services are areas with great potential for the future development of academic / university libraries. Results. Numerous evidence is presented that the topic of library as a publisher in OT support is most developed in the universities and colleges in economically developed countries, especially in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain. Library strategies for OT projects have been identified. The author clarified the nature of the initiatives and partnerships of libraries in supporting OT, as well as the basic services and roles of libraries in these projects. Conclusions. Today, the global practice of Scholarly Communication has enough evidence that the functions of the Library, lost in the course of evolution, as a Knowledge Publisher have returned under its “roof” and supplemented the existing function of Knowledge Managers. Digital Library Publishing (DLP) services in OT support help to change the learning environment and life of students (including persons with disabilities), pedagogical practices of teachers by means of free textbooks with an open license, as well as to receive reputation benefits for the university, improving the image of the latter. The possibility of eliminating systemic inequalities in access to academic resources increases the significance and changes the role of libraries in open education. The successes of Ukrainian librarians in supporting digital scholarly communication initiatives and the successful implementation of Open Access support projects (repositories, e-journals, e-conferences) give confidence that they can act as initiators and key partners in creating affordable textbooks.

Published: December 2019

La llegada de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) al sistema educativo ha propiciado que numerosos recursos novedosos y de gran interés didáctico lleguen a las aulas. Este es el caso de la Realidad Aumentada, tecnología que se ha popularizado por su capacidad para combinar elementos virtuales y reales al mismo tiempo. El presente trabajo ha pretendido indagar en la literatura científica para comprobar si la aplicación de Realidad Aumentada en las aulas promueve una mejora motivacional en el estudiantado de las diversas etapas educativas. Para ello, se recurrió a la metodología correspondiente a las revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis propuestas por la declaración PRISMA tomando como fuente de datos las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science. Un total de nueve de metodología cuasi experimental fueron analizados en torno a la medición de la variable motivación. Los resultados dilucidaron un diagnóstico favorable a los grupos de carácter experimental, por lo que se pudo inferir que la experimentación en el aula con Realidad Aumentada motiva al estudiantado de distintas etapas educativas. No obstante, se plantea la necesidad de realizar mayor número de experiencias con Realidad Aumentada en las aulas para poder establecer un dictamen en torno a un cuerpo más sólido de trabajos científicos.

Published: December 2019

The article gives a detailed analysis of the results of the questionnaires answered by teachers of EPP employed by a Russian university. The survey was done in order to reveal organizational and methodological problems that prevent from a considerable increase of the language competence quality of future specialists at the university. The questions reflected various aspects of the activity of EPP teachers. The first block included the questions that helped build up a social and professional profile of the teacher regarding age parameters, teacher’s experience in the field, academic degrees, university education. The second block of questions was aimed at revealing specificity in teaching EPP with taking into account students’ level of English, number of students, duration of learning English in the curriculum. The survey included the questions that made possible to define the most popular methodological techniques and approaches used, forms of teacher’s activity in the classroom. In order to improve the qualityof the English language education of non-linguistic students via up-dating methodological component, areas in which teachers need professional improvement were defined. A review of related works by Russian methodologists in the field was done at the preliminary stage of examining the problem. The summary of the results achieved concludes the article.
Using "peer review" method for language assessment
Authors: Korovina Irina V. , Konstantinova Daria V. , Safonkina Olga S.
Published: December 2019

The article discusses the peer review method in reference to the assessment of students’ language knowledge. This method provides consistent analysis, which results in assessment criteria and study assignments in a short period of time. The aim of the study is to analyze the functional features and effectiveness of this method. In the process, the authors employed such research methods as the comparative analysis, questionnaires, descriptive method, and statistical method. As a result of the study the authors developed such evaluation criteria that can evaluate the specific features of such genre as an essay. That effects stylistic and functional characteristics that differ the essay from an article. The advantages and disadvantages of the peer review method were identified, among which, among other things, it was noted that peer review helps to engage students in the educational process and develops critical thinking in them. It analyzed the list of linguo-didactic functions of this method and discussed the students’ attitude to the use of the “peer review” method in teaching foreign languages in relation to the assessment of linguistic knowledge and skills. In addition, the authors conclud on that checking grammar and vocabulary in written works should remain the prerogative of the teacher, because teachers remain more competent in these aspects than students. In this regard, the effectiveness of the peer review method is achieved if both the author and the reviewer have the same level of knowledge in the field of foreign language writing practice, and, accordingly, comparable writing skills in a foreign language.
Professional communication skills training for students of faculty of Physical Education and Sports
Authors: Levchenko Alexander V. , Mayorova Natalia V.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the problem of the academic communication skills development and describes the importance of studying a foreign language for students of non-linguistic universities. Today, academic communication, and in particular professional communication skills, as part of it, is becoming the subject of study of theorists and practitioners. Proficiency in a foreign language is a professionally significant property of any person who is preparing to work in a global society. Academic interaction at the international level is already considered as a mandatory component of the life of a modern student.Thus, communication in English in the student international environment and the participation in academic exchange programs are the main types of studying and are considered in the content of the “professional portrait” of a specialist in physical education and sports as system forming. The authors experimentally show the characteristics which can be developed on the basis of a significant program for teaching a foreign language at the faculty of physical education.

Building a background radiation field on the ground on the basis of measurement data taken at a finite number of points is one of the most important tasks of radiation monitoring. The aim of the work: to study the possibility of applying cluster analysis for the tasks of radiation monitoring of the environment. Cluster analysis is a multidimensional statistical analysis. Its main purpose is to split the set of objects under study (observation points) into homogeneous groups or clusters, that is, the task of classifying data and identifying the corresponding structure in them is solved. Methods of research: the measurements of the power of the ambient dose of continuous X-ray and gamma radiation on the terrain by using the MKS-05 dosimeter "TERRA-0"; processing of the obtained data by cluster analysis methods using the computer program "Statistics-10", wherein each cluster point is characterized by three coordinates: two coordinates on the ground and the power of the ambient dose of radiation at a given point; Euclidean distance was chosen as the distance between two points. Results: after processing data using various clustering methods: the method of Complete Linkage, the method of Weighted pair-group average and the Ward's method, it was found that the results of the analysis practically coincide with each other, that proves the reliability of the application of cluster analysis for the tasks of radiation monitoring of the environment and mapping of radiation pollution. Conclusions: the concept of a "radiation cluster" was first formulated in this work, combining coordinates on a plane with an ambient dose rate;the possibility of using cluster analysis to construct a map of radiation pollution of the environment has been proved by sequential projectionfrom more connected to less connected radiation clusters onto the plane of the controlled zone. In this sense, cluster analysis is similar to the operator approach to the construction of the radiation field. For further research, it is of some interest to study the issues of integration of cluster analysis with geographic information systems.
The problem of dysfunctional motherhood in the latest foreign researches

Published: December 2019

The article analyzes updated foreign empirical developments on the problem of early dysfunctional motherhood. The article is based on the idea of dysfunctional motherhood as a historically evolving psychological phenomenon with multiple risk factors for the health of the child in the first years of life. In view of the discreteness of the evidence, the authors confined their analysis to the diversity of internal and external causes of early deviant motherhood. These are the environmental and biological (genetic) prerequisites of the "hidden" maternal coldness. The last were examined with the help of placenta telomeres as the biomarkers of the parenthood style. Telomeres proved to bear the traces of the deferred exposure of maternal early stress and its influence on the following generations. Maternal coldness also seems to be a latent mechanism of deviant behavior during gestational and postpartum depression and disturbances of neural empathy mechanisms and deformation of attachment. The article also discusses the American model of the relationship of maternity style with indicators of toxic stress in children in which the innovative factor of reflexive functioning of the parent is analyzed.
Fatherhood as a psychological phenomenon. Review of modern foreign literature
Authors: Kalina I.A.
Published: December 2019

The article provides a literature review of contemporary foreign studies on the topic of paternity. The mental health of children and adults is closely connected with the parent figures. Historically, the father’s figure stood out in the work of psychologists, thus it was practically not studied by them. Modern studies not only confirm the equal importance of the maternal and paternal figures, but also highlights the specific influence of fathers. Direct influence extends to cognitive development, socio-emotional competence, as well as physical similarity. The indirect influence of fathers (through their relationships with mothers) on psychological well-being of the child, child's behavior and child-parent relationships in general has also been noted by scholars. The role of the father positively affects the psychological health of men and their well-being in general. The advancement of the phenomenon of “new fatherhood” is a global trend and it contributes not only to improving the mental health of the population, but also to a more comprehensive study of paternal problems.
“EVERYTHING WAS POSSIBLE”: EMOTIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE PAST AMONG FORMER PORTUGUESE ANTIFASCIST ACTIVISTS
Authors: Accornero Guya
Published: December 2019

In this article, I analyze how former activists opposed to Estado Novo, Portugal's fascist regime, see their past, as well as the emotions and perceptions associated with it. I argue that what Antonio Costa Pinto called a “double legacy” shapes these activists' process of remembering. This means that the legacies of dictatorship in Portugal's consolidated democracy are strongly shaped by how it ended and by how democracy was implemented in the country—that is, through a revolution and a radical “cut with the past.” I use semistructured interviews and open questionnaires to study how former activists are affected by and contribute to building this double legacy. By adopting an interactionist perspective and by bridging the scholarship on transition and oral history, this research aims to strengthen the dialogue between social movement and memory studies, and also stresses the relevance of the co-construction of individual and collective memory.
THE CHILEAN STUDENT MOVEMENT: CHALLENGING PUBLIC MEMORIES OF PINOCHET'S DICTATORSHIP
Authors: Rajevic Manuela Badilla
Published: December 2019

This article illustrates the connection between the rise of social movements and the profound transformations in the ways post-conflict societies symbolize their difficult past. It examines how the 2011 Chilean student movement developed an alternative memory about Chile's Pinochet regime. I show how the movement claimed fundamental changes within the educational and political systems, framing its demands as a critical response to the socioeconomic neoliberal transformations set in motion by the Pinochet military regime. Through an empirical analysis of the 2011 student movement that combines 60 in-depth interviews with young activists with archival research, this article demonstrates how an alternative version of the dictatorial past was closely linked to the movement's goals and affected internal dynamics of belonging. The results indicate that participants managed to go beyond traumatic narratives concerning human rights crimes that had been dominant in the Chilean public memory about the dictatorship. Therefore, they presented a change that constituted a major challenge to the future of the politics of memory in Chile.
PROJECTIONS ONTO THE PAST: MEMORIES OF DEMOCRATIZATION IN SPAIN, GREECE, AND PORTUGAL DURING THE GREAT RECESSION
Authors: Kornetis Kostis
Published: December 2019

This article engages the argument that the 2008–2009 Great Recession forced a revisiting of the period of transitions in Spain, Greece, and Portugal as “political masterpieces,” especially among a younger generation of activists. It argues that this radical reevaluation turned the conflicting generational recollections of the past into pivotal components of present political contestation. Moreover, it shows how the redeeming power of the transitions animates the political, cultural, and public discourse of young politicized people who, although (or precisely because) they have not experienced these events directly, keep returning to them to make sense of contemporary politics. The complex relations between past and present are analyzed using oral histories with the so-called Generation 2 of the transitions, namely people who have only “projective memories” of these events during the 1970. Especially relevant is the effects of their participation in the 2011 indignados movements.
