Published: January 2024

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a relação entre as características sociodemográficas, obstétricas e de estilo de vida maternas e o consumo usual de alimentos ultraprocessados. Estudo transversal, n = 784 gestantes, assistidas pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. A dieta foi estimada utilizando dois inquéritos recordatórios de 24 horas, pelo método de passagens múltiplas. Os alimentos ultraprocessados foram classificados empregando-se a classificação NOVA e seu consumo usual foi expresso como a contribuição no percentual energético total. Modelos de regressão linear ajustados foram empregados para investigar a relação entre as características maternas e o percentual energético proveniente (%E) de ultraprocessados. O %E de ultraprocessados na dieta foi de 32,1%. A idade materna (-0,45 [-0,62; -0,29] p < 0,001), estrato econômico D+E em relação a A+B (-2,95 [-5,59; -0,32] p = 0,03) e sub-relato energético (-6,95 [-8,86; -5,04] p < 0,001) foram inversamente associados ao %E de ultraprocessados, enquanto o índice de massa corporal (IMC) pré-gestacional (0,41 [0,22; 0,60] p < 0,001) foi diretamente associado. Sugere-se que a idade materna, o estrato econômico, a subnotificação energética e o estado antropométrico pré-gestacional estejam associados ao consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados durante a gestação.

Published: January 2024

Resumo O objetivo do estudo é conhecer as estratégias individuais mais utilizadas por adolescentes de escolas públicas e privadas da IX Região Administrativa do município do Rio de Janeiro para evitar a exposição à violência comunitária, bem como investigar o perfil de coocorrência e sua prevalência em subgrupos populacionais específicos. Trata-se de um estudo seccional com 693 indivíduos. As informações referentes às estratégias para evitar a exposição à violência comunitária foram coletadas por meio de questionário multidimensional autopreenchido em sala de aula. As estratégias mais utilizadas foram: evitar passar onde há pessoas armadas (55,5%), evitar andar sozinho (30,5%) e evitar voltar para casa de madrugada (24,7%). Observou-se que as meninas adotam mais todos (concomitantemente) os quatro tipos de comportamento limitantes para reduzir sua exposição à violência comunitária (53% vs. 32%). Ressalta-se que a adoção de tais estratégias diferiu segundo os indicadores socioeconômicos, sendo maior entre os adolescentes oriundos de família de estratos de renda mais baixos. Tais achados chamam a atenção para a alta frequência de utilização de tais estratégias por adolescentes, o que pode cercear e limitar o pleno desenvolvimento de suas habilidades sociais e culturais.
What have adolescents in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil, done to reduce their community violence exposure?

Published: January 2024

Abstract This study aims to identify the individual community strategies to avoid violence exposure most used by adolescents from public and private schools in the IX Administrative Region of Rio de Janeiro and investigate the profile of co-occurrence and its prevalence in specific population subgroups. This is a cross-sectional study with 693 individuals. A multidimensional questionnaire collected information regarding strategies to avoid community violence exposure and was self-completed in the classroom. The most used strategies were avoiding walking close to armed people (55.5%), avoiding walking alone (30.5%), and avoiding returning home at dawn (24.7%). Girls adopt more of all (concurrently) the four limiting behaviors to reduce their community violence exposure (53% vs. 32%). Notably, the adoption of such strategies differed by socioeconomic indicators and was higher among adolescents from lower-income households. These findings point to the high frequency of use of such strategies by adolescents, which may hinder and limit the full development of their social and cultural skills.

Published: January 2024

Abstract Through quantitative exploratory research, the present study analyzed the amount foreseen in the Federal Budget and the amounts paid (nominal and deflated) for programs and actions to promote body practices and physical activities (Health Academy Program and the Federal Incentive for Physical Activity in Primary Health Care) from 2019 to 2022. The values of investment in body practices and physical activities in SUS per capita, according to the population covered by Primary Health Care (PHC) and per participant in public programs, were also calculated. The following was found: (1) that the resources that were actually paid were 3.31% to 15.06% lower than those approved in the budget (nominal) and (2) the low annual (maximum) values found, regardless of whether nominal or deflated - per capita (R$ 0.21 to 0.30) per population covered by PHC (R$ 0.25 to 0.40) and per participant (R$ 10.61 to 14.61). It was concluded that the low investment in the promotion of body practices and physical activities decreases access and does not contribute to the full functioning of SUS by preventing or hindering the expansion of possibilities of comprehensive health care.
Prevalence of violence against women living in rural areas and associated factors: a cross-sectional study based on the 2019 National Health Survey
Authors: Stochero Luciane , Pinto Liana Wernersbach
Published: January 2024

Abstract The aim of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the prevalence of violence against women living in rural areas, explore associated factors, and characterize cases of violence according to perpetrator, place of occurrence, and frequency. Based on data from the 2019 National Health Survey, using Poisson’s regression we calculated crude and adjusted prevalence ratios for violence committed during the last 12 months against women living in rural areas across Brazil, focusing on the following variables: sociodemographic characteristics, income, social support, and self-reported health status. The prevalence of psychological, physical, and sexual violence was 18%, 4.4%, and 1.5%, respectively. Perpetrators were mainly people known to the victim and violence was mainly committed at home and repeated over time. Prevalence was highest among young women (24.2%), single and divorced women (20% each), women who had complete elementary school till not complete higher education (22% each), women with very poor (34%) and poor (30%) self-perceived health status; and women with a mental health problem (30%). After adjustment, the following variables were retained in the model: women aged 30-39 years and 40-49 years; married women; women with very poor, poor, and fair perceived health; and women diagnosed with a mental health problem.
Factors that influence the survival of micro and small enterprises in Brazil

Published: January 2024

Abstract Purpose: This article studies which sets of variables, besides credit and profitability, influence the survival of micro and small enterprises (MSE) over time. Originality/value: This study innovates in presenting independent variables related to a common objective, contributing to the literature by identifying factors, including financial ones, that can influence MSE survival in a single model, which has not yet been identified in the literature. Therefore, acquiring knowledge that stimulates changes in the behavior of entrepreneurs, public authorities, stakeholders, and private institutions related to the subject is expected to promote the creation of new management tools, which can decrease the closure of several MSEs within a short time of operation. Design/methodology/approach: Secondary data from the 26 Brazilian states and the Federal District relative to the period between 2008 and 2012 were used. Reduced equation models with estimation utilizing a Tobit were used, as the dependent variable is censored, in addition to the OLS method with fixed effects panel and robust error, with equivalent results. The factor analysis by the principal component method (FA-PCM) was used in the data analysis. Findings: The results showed significant factors for MSE survival, such as the need for employment and income, investments in health, access to financing, and, mostly, the importance of education, among others. Moreover, the study demystifies that the leading cause of MSE death is the lack of credit, as there is too much credit on the market, either through banks or investors.
To the things themselves: contributions of phenomenological epistemology to leadership studies
Authors: Medeiros Vicente Reis , Capaverde Caroline Bastos , Santos Ana Clarissa Matte Zanardo dos , Henriqson Éder
Published: January 2024

Abstract Leadership theories developed since the beginning of the last century primarily represent positivist premises, strongly marked by the separation between subject and object, dichotomization, objectivism, quantification, reproduction, and validation. Based on this, we argue that the field needs epistemological approaches that challenge the mainstream of leadership studies. To this end, phenomenology can ground the possibility of understanding leadership as a world phenomenon. In theoretical terms, phenomenology is a return to the acts through which we gain knowledge of objects, thus the proposal to return to the things themselves. This article analyzes the contributions of phenomenology to leadership studies. In order to interact with such identified gaps in leadership studies, we explore the rescue of the lifeworld in the face of objectivism, the reconciliation between subject and object, the attribution of meanings, the epoché, and the change of positioning.
Silence, silencing, and complicit silence as mechanisms for perpetuating racism in organizations
Authors: Menezes Mário , Mendes Luciano
Published: January 2024

Abstract This essay aims to interpret the processes of silence, silencing, and complicit silence as factors that contribute to the perpetuation of racism, inequalities, and exclusions that occur in organizations. From the presentation of theoretical references on silence, silencing, and complicit silence, the essay presents a complementary way of demonstrating how the echoes of historical processes of racism against Black people can still be responsible for structuring practices in organizations. Additionally, we demonstrate how studies on silence, silencing, and complicit silence can offer praxis alternatives for administrators and academics of organizational studies to change structural practices to break the cycle of structural racism in organizations.
Croceous glands in Polygala adenophora (Polygalaceae): structure, histochemical, and functional aspects

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT Croceous glands are visible structures defined by their rounded shape and yellowish color. They have great taxonomic importance, being used to delimit the Timutua section, one of the 14 sections of the subgenera Polygala, genera Polygala, the most representative of the family Polygalaceae, with about 120 species recorded in Brazil. However, detailed information about the nature of croceous glands is still missing. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the origin, structure, and function of the croceous glands in the floral structures, fruits, leaf blades, and stems of Polygala adenophora. Samples of P. adenophora at different developmental stages (flower buds, fully developed flowers and fruits), as well as stems, and leaves collected from the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 9th nodes were obtained from a coastal area in Pará state, Brazil. The samples were fixed in FAA50 or buffered neutral formalin and submitted to light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Histochemical tests were carried out for lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds. Our results showed that the croceous glands are secretory cavities and ducts of schizolysigenous origin, present since the beginning of the development of vegetative and reproductive organs. The cavities and ducts produce a lipophilic compound consisting of essential oils and lipids. We hypothesize that this exudate possibly has a protective function, acting against pathogen and herbivore attacks.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT Cassava bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis, is one of the most important diseases affecting cassava production worldwide, including regions of Brazil in the eastern Amazon. The use of beneficial microorganisms, such as endophytic plant growth-promoting bacteria, has emerged as an effective tool for controlling diseases in many crops. Here, two Klebsiella endophytic isolates (26Y and 29Y) isolated from cassava were evaluated for the control of CBB through antagonistic assays and biological control of the disease in plants inoculated by irrigating the substrate and by foliar spray under greenhouse conditions. The two isolates were able to inhibit the in vitro growth of the pathogen, as well as to control the disease severity by at least 90% in plants inoculated by both inoculation methods. We report the first Klebsiella strains to control CBB in the eastern Amazon, though their risk assessment for drug-resistance in humans is still pending.

Published: January 2024

Resumo Diante dos impactos ambientais associados à produção do cimento Portland convencional, o estudo de cimentos especiais de reduzido impacto ambiental tem sido uma tendência. Neste contexto, os cimentos contendo ye’elimita (YCC) se destacam devido à baixa emissão de CO2. Apesar das vantagens ambientais, a alta demanda por alumínio limita economicamente a produção destes cimentos. Uma alternativa para viabilizar a sua produção é o uso de matérias-primas residuais como fonte de Al2O3, a exemplo do SFCC (catalizador gasto do craqueamento catalítico de leito fluidizado). Diante disso, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a hidratação na idade inicial de cimentos YCC produzidos a partir do coprocessamento do SFCC. Para isso, foram produzidos seis clínqueres com diferentes teores de ye’elimita, com e sem SFCC. Estes foram caracterizados por DRX/Rietveld. As pastas foram avaliadas por TG/DTG e DRX/Rietveld para compreender o mecanismo de hidratação em idade inicial destes cimentos. Foi possível sintetizar as principais fases dos YCC, nos clínqueres com e sem SFCC. Além disso, na idade avaliada, as pastas com e sem SFCC apresentaram composição de fases comparáveis indicando o potencial de coprocessamento do SFCC neste tipo de cimento.

Investigação termográfica para caracterização de fissuras em fluxo de aquecimento e resfriamento: estudos de laboratório
Authors: Silva Matheus de Souza , Bauer Elton
Published: January 2024

Resumo A fissuração pode ser investigada por termografia de infravermelho, pois defeitos em uma superfície apresentam temperaturas diferentes em relação as regiões sem defeito. A temperatura da fissura é dependente das suas dimensões, abertura e profundidade, nas quais podem ser identificadas pela termografia. Avalia-se o comportamento das temperaturas em regime controlado de aquecimento e resfriamento de fissuras em função de diferentes profundidades e quais as condições mais adequadas para identificar as fissuras. Propõe-se a observação da evolução de temperatura no aquecimento e resfriamento de uma placa de argamassa que possui fissuras com diferentes profundidades. A variação de temperatura da placa no aquecimento e resfriamento é monitorada por termogramas e termopares presentes na superfície e interior da placa em regiões próximas às fissuras. Identifica-se, pela aplicação de contraste termográfico Delta-T, que fissuras de maior profundidade possuem maior Delta-T, em módulo, durante o aquecimento, enquanto fissuras de menor profundidade possuem maior Delta-T no resfriamento. As fissuras são melhor identificadas na fase de resfriamento, pois no fim do aquecimento as fissuras de menor profundidade não são identificadas.
ANTECIPAÇÃO DE REFERENTES EM DPS COMPLEXOS COM RELATIVAS PREPOSICIONADAS: interação com conhecimento metacognitivo e memória de trabalho
Authors: Augusto Marina , Soto Marije , Forster Renê , Floripis Maria Clara Abend , Gameiro Veronica
Published: January 2024

Este estudo investiga, particularmente, o mapeamento antecipado do referente de um DP complexo, apresentando uma oração relativa preposicionada com para, ou seja, com papel temático de beneficiário. Explora-se a contribuição que o tipo de estratégia relativa utilizada (padrão ou cortadora) pode trazer para a antecipação do referente, dada a possibilidade de integração incremental de informação contextual visual e linguística precedente. Em um experimento de seleção de imagem, aplicado a 41 participantes, falantes cultos de português do Brasil, a ser reportado, apresentaram-se contextos visuais e linguísticos auditivos prévios em que um personagem participa de dois eventos distintos (um evento apresentado com verbo bitransitivo e um evento apresentado com verbo transitivo), envolvendo coparticipantes distintas. Busca-se verificar em que medida o uso, na sentença-teste auditiva, que segue os preâmbulos discursivos e visuais, de uma estratégia padrão da língua, na qual a preposição aparece precedendo o pronome relativo, poderia favorecer a antecipação do referente do DP complexo, em comparação à estratégia cortadora, em que a preposição não está presente. Empregou-se uma tarefa de correspondência sentença-gravura na qual a acurácia e o tempo de resposta foram considerados como variáveis dependentes. Ademais, objetivou-se verificar a influência de conhecimento de norma padrão e de memória de trabalho verbal no desempenho da tarefa. Solicita-se que tentem clicar o mais rápido possível na imagem descrita pela sentença contendo a relativa. Nossos resultados não indicaram uma vantagem do uso da relativa padrão sobre a cortadora para a antecipação do referente do DP complexo. No entanto, a acurácia da seleção da imagem foi significativamente melhor para esse tipo de relativa. Melhor desempenho no teste normativo e no teste de reading span foi associado a TRs mais rápidos e maior acurácia na relativa cortadora. Fatores que parecem influenciar esse quadro são complexidade da estrutura relativa, possível ambiguidade da relativa cortadora e a sensibilidade limitada do teste para flagrar essa possível antecipação.

This paper describes the internal flow behaviors, aerodynamic performance effects, noise reduction techniques,
and structural characteristic study on micro gas-turbine engine (MGTE) nozzles for small fixed-wing unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAV). Firstly, the primary purpose is to obtain the aerodynamic performance, aeroacoustic, and
structural parameters of the nozzle when applied to the MGTE. A baseline MGTE convergent nozzle is investigated
on aeroacoustics and structural characteristics. Secondly, the baseline design is implemented with noise reducers,
which include notches, a step-back airfoil, and nature-inspired notches. The notch initiates small disturbances
on the surface of the jet plume and deforms the shear behind the nozzle, which in turn causes suppression in the
jet mixing noise. Thirdly, the step-back airfoil is used in the nozzle's trailing end to optimize the flow at the exit.
This causes turbulence and flow separation at the steps located at 50% of the chord length. Here, the step-back
airfoil is done with a NACA0018-based configuration. Fourthly, nature-inspired notches impose computational
performances on the aerodynamic factors, so the variations are noted. The notch, airfoil, and nature-inspired
notch counts are increased and decreased to find the optimum model with minimal acoustic levels. The nozzle
is modeled using CATIA and analyzed in the Ansys workbench. Furthermore, the model is tested through an
advanced experiment facility and analyzed for pressure variations, velocity variations, and thermal variations by
implementing numerous materials.

Pueblo chico, alcalde grande. Abstencionismo en las elecciones municipales de Uruguay, 2010-2020
Authors: Buquet Daniel , Cardarello Antonio , Schmidt Nicolás
Published: January 2024

En este artículo se establecen los factores que influyen en los distintos niveles de involucramiento de la ciudadanía en las elecciones municipales en Uruguay a partir de 2010. Diversos estudios muestran que la concurrencia a votar en las elecciones locales es inferior a las nacionales, pero que la participación aumenta a medida que disminuye el tamaño del municipio. Sin embargo, en Uruguay la concurrencia a votar es muy alta en todas las elecciones porque el voto es obligatorio. Por esa razón, utilizamos una forma original para medir el involucramiento de la ciudadanía en las elecciones subnacionales mediante la cuantificación del “voto en blanco parcial” o la abstención de nivel, que captura el porcentaje de quienes asisten a votar, pero se abstienen en alguno de los niveles (departamental o municipal). Verificamos que la relación inversa entre tamaño del municipio y participación electoral también se cumple aun cuando el voto obligatorio no la muestra en la concurrencia a votar, pues en muchas municipalidades pequeñas los votos por las autoridades locales superan los obtenidos por las departamentales, con lo cual se invierte la relación del modelo de elecciones de segundo nivel. Nuestros hallazgos permiten observar diferentes niveles de involucramiento de la ciudadanía, más allá de la mera concurrencia a votar, la única variable analizada hasta ahora por la comunidad académica.
SOFTWARE FOR SIZING PAD-FAN EVAPORATIVE COOLING SYSTEMS OF GREENHOUSES
Authors: Oliveira Gabriela Louise Ferreira Alcântara de , Lopes Daniela Carvalho , Steidle Neto Antonio José , Zolnier Sérgio
Published: January 2024

The calculations for sizing pad-fan evaporative cooling systems depend on the psychrometric properties of the air inside and outside of the greenhouse, appearing as a constant need for professionals in the agricultural sector. A software capable of performing these calculations is important to speed up this procedure. In this study a free software was developed to estimate the maximum efficiency of the porous panel, the ventilation rate of the exhaust fan and the climatic conditions of pad-fan evaporative cooling systems in greenhouses. The software, called Theoretical Evaporative (TE), was written in Java programming language, using the NetBeans platform. All equations and algorithms used in this development are presented, and were based on the mechanical ventilation and cooling principles. The software was tested by means of comparisons with real system sizing calculations performed manually and in electronic spreadsheet. The TE was efficient in sizing different evaporative cooling systems for greenhouses and can be used for performing consultations in the academic and commercial areas of agricultural sciences, being also advantageous for didactic purposes. Although this software is applied to greenhouse conditions, the methodology presented can be adapted for other environments, such as poultry, cattle and swine facilities.
Citizen participation as a fundamental principle in the connection between children and nature.
Authors: Albuquerque Raquel Oliveira de , Andrade Liza Maria Souza de
Published: January 2024

There are challenges to urban planning and public participation as urban sprawl proceeds rapidly around the world. Close to urban centers, informal settlements are characterized by numerous challenges, including inadequate sanitation, inefficient drainage, and a constrained potable water supply. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) is an umbrella concept that encompasses Green Infrastructure and proposes a solution to these socio-environmental problems. This paper aims to examine and codify the methodological framework that fosters the interplay between the natural world, community involvement, and childhood. The literature review was categorized into two distinct sections: the first pertains to Green Infrastructure and Nature-based Solutions, whereas the second pertains to urban pedagogy and the involvement of children in urban planning. Nature-based Solutions offer an opportunity to address environmental and social challenges. The literature suggests that NBS planning should follow six main guiding principles: maintenance of biological and cultural diversity, site specificity, evidence base, integration, equity, and transdisciplinarity. The findings strongly suggest that citizen participation is a fundamental principle for achieving Nature-Based Solutions fairly in cities. In order to effectively implement a more ecological urbanism, it is imperative to recognize the context and local knowledge, including those acquired during childhood.

Published: January 2024

This article discusses some of the possible contributions of GIS technology (Geographic Information System) to the analysis, planning and management of heritage sites, focusing mainly on the study of the effects produced in such sites by processes related to the tourism exploitation. To this end, it adopts as its object of inquiry the old core of the city of Tiradentes, in Minas Gerais, Brazil – protected by the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional since 1938 and characterized as one of the main tourist destinations in the country today –, for which it is proposed, firstly, the construction of a digital base in the QGis software and then, based on bibliographic and documentary sources, an analysis of its historical evolution, current conformation and main ongoing processes. A comparative analyzes between the characteristics of land-use verified on the site in the years 1980, 2001 and 2017 is also carried out. As a result, besides creating such a database for the municipality, a further study of the relationships between the transformations observed in the mentioned characteristics and the increase in tourism activity in the area is provided. Considerations are also presented regarding the effects generated on the preservation of local heritage as a result of these same transformations, along with possible recommendations for the effective and sustainable management of Tiradentes' cultural heritage.

Background. Over the past 30 years, with the development of endoscopic technologies and the advent endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EuS-FnA) it has become possible to diagnose with preliminary verification of cardiac tumors, which in turn is an undoubted advantage in detecting cardiac pathology. A rare clinical case is presented: the detection of a tumor of the left atrium using high-tech endoscopic techniques, in particular a EuS-FnA. when studying the surgical material using immunohistochemistry and FISH hybridization, the final diagnosis sounded like intimal sarcoma. Diagnosis of intimal sarcoma is a complex clinical task, and difficulties in making a diagnosis delay the duration of treatment. Our experience demonstrates the modern role of endoscopy as a minimally invasive method of diagnosing intracardiac tumors.

Analysis of the latest research by Ukrainian scientists emphasized the relevance of continuing the theoretical and practical development of the problem in connection with current events in our country. The article identifies debatable issues that must be resolved by the Ukrainian scientific and pedagogical community: whether a person can be considered as a patriot if he/she left the country in order to save his/her life and loved ones; whether the circumstances really forced him/ her to do it or whether a person planned to leave the country earlier and martial law is only a driving force to go abroad. The paper examines the relationship and interrelationship of such phenomena as "patriotism as a social value" and "patriotism as an individual (personal) value". The article gives the author's vision of ttheir relations and connections. The theoretical representation of the content of these phenomena based on the study of the scientific developments of the investigated problem is analysed, and the subjects that are carriers of patriotism as a social value are defined by the author. The article characterizes three substances of patriotism as values: "public consciousness", "public opinion", "public relation" in the aspect of internal unity between society and individuality. The fundamental system-forming components of "national" are considered: state language, symbols, traditions, art, small Motherland, the culture of vital self-determination as a source of formation of individual national values in general, and patriotism in particular. Accordingly, the modern tasks of patriotic education of youth as a defining component of the system of national education and personality development in Ukraine are determined. The attention is focused on the Person (personality) in the context of the practice of forming patriotic consciousness, feelings, and behavior patterns of youth.

In times of turbulence and new, including epidemiological, risks, health and healthcare issues take on special significance. In modern society, problems related to various illnesses extend beyond purely medical concerns and require public attention. This article is dedicated to the key aspects of institutionalizing activism in the field of health in Russia, particularly focusing on understanding activism by its key actors, defining the problem domain of activism, and typologizing public health activism. The paper includes an analysis of the most significant international researches on the topics of social movements, health activism, and the activities of patient organizations. The empirical basis of the study consists of expert interviews with activists (N=20), primarily working in non-governmental organizations that provide assistance to people with various illnesses, such as HIV infection, mental disorders, and others. It was found that among activists, three main approaches dominate in understanding activism: the first is associated with a mission to improve reality, the second with changing the relationships between patients and doctors, and the third with the implementation of new specific practices in healthcare. The analysis of the problem domain of health activism revealed that, in addition to issues related to receiving adequate treatment, including access to necessary medications, the problem of discrimination based on illness remains relevant in Russia. In this context, positive changes have been noted regarding HIV infection, but the stigmatization of people with mental disorders is still emphasized. According to experts, this is largely the result of low public awareness of mental health issues. The last part of the results presents a typology of health activism. In conclusion, the influence of health activism on social norms and the development of healthcare and medical institutions is emphasized.
On the Way to Institutional Synthesis: To the Rehabilitation of Bukharin in Chinese Science
Authors:   Institute of Economics RAS, Volynskiy Andrey I. , Kruglova Maria S. ,   Institute of Economics RAS
Published: January 2024

The article discusses the evolution of Nikolai Bukharin’s perception in Chinese scientific and socio-political discourse during the years of implementation of the policy of reform and opening up. The Maoist historiography described a prominent figure in the international communist movement, N.I. Bukharin as a person who distorted Marxist-Leninist teachings. As the policy of reform and opening up unfolded, Chinese historiography rehabilitated the historical image and legacy of N.I. Bukharin. There was a part of broad discussions among Chinese social scientists and economists regarding the interpretations of Marxist-Leninist teachings that accompanied and formed the essence of the political and ideological justification for the reforms. Sometimes the obvious parallel between Deng Xiaoping’s “socialism with Chinese characteristics” and the New Economic Policy (1921–1928) of the USSR is explained by the fact that Deng Xiaoping was inspired by the latter during his years in the USSR. The historical rehabilitation of Bukharin, in which the PRC was certainly ahead of the USSR, is associated with the interest of Chinese politicians and political economists in the New Economic Policy (NEP). It is difficult to prove a direct relationship between the Soviet NEP and the policy of Chinese reforms, and historical parallels are unlikely to be fully correct. But based on the Chinese material involved, we will show that Bukharin’s views, born in discussions about the NEP and reached the level of discussions about the essence of socialism, inspired Chinese political economy to search for new formulations of economic policy goals. Without the latter, the success of institutional reforms would be questionable due to their weak ideological legitimacy.

The main aim of this article is to analyze the position of Law and Justice party (PiS) towards in vitro fertilization (IVF) at the level of ideological and political agenda, results of parliamentary votes, and views of the electorate. Therefore, the following concepts were analyzed: the Law and Justice party doctrinal stereotype, the party's political stance on IVF, draft bills, the position of the party's club in the parliament towards the aforementioned and the results of parliamentary votes alongside the views of the electorate on IVF. Recognizing that human dignity begins with conception, the Law and Justice party is in favor of banning IVF and imposing criminal punishments for carrying it out, experimenting on embryos, and destroying them. These methods include: qualitative analysis of ideological and political program assumptions, institutional and legal assumptions, quantitative analysis of existing data. In order to determine the position of the party's electorate towards IVF, the announcements of the Public Opinion Research Center (CBOS) were analyzed.
Rational choice theory in light of biopolitics
Authors: Chustecki Jakub
Published: January 2024

Both rational choice theory and biopolitics are extremely important paradigms in the social sciences - including political science. It would seem that their basic axioms contradict each other because the influence of biopolitical power microstructures excludes sovereign and autonomous decision-making processes. Thus, the paper adopts the hypothesis that the assumptions of biopolitics falsify the basic axioms of rational choice theory, and therefore we can consider it as the antithesis of rational choice theory. In order to verify the hypothesis, the method of content analysis was applied - with particular emphasis on studies concerning both paradigms and primary sources supported by elements of comparative studies. On the basis of the analyses carried out, it was proved that the assumptions of both paradigms do not have to contradict each other - they may even be complementary. Human actions based on the principle of rationality and self-interest can be justified by the actions of biopolitics, and therefore the hypothesis has been falsified.
