Fyodor Dostoevsky vs Karl Marx: Personal Freedom in Existential and Social Dimensions
Authors: Savelieva Elena N. , Budenkova Valeriya E. , Kraevskaya Irina O.
Published: May 2024

The paper explores the perspectives of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Karl Marx regarding hu­man freedom, highlighting their relevance amidst the contradictory landscape of social devel­opment in late capitalism. It is well-established that Dostoevsky's ‘orthodox’ socialist stance resonated with Marx's critique of bourgeois society, focusing on themes of materialism, the dominance of wealth, and alienation. Both thinkers grappled with the concept of human free­dom, recognizing it as an intrinsic characteristic and essential aspect of humanity. While they shared similar views on existential and social dimensions of freedom, they diverged in their conceptual approaches to achieving it. The study aims to demonstrate, through a comparative analysis of Dostoevsky's and Marx's perspectives, that despite differences in their under­standing of freedom and its attainment, their positions can be seen as complementary. Dosto­evsky advocated for inner spiritual improvement, while Marx prioritized external structural change. Research indicates that these perspectives can mutually reinforce each other. The au­thors assert and support the thesis that according to Dostoevsky, achieving spiritual freedom is feasible through labour activity, a concept akin to Marx's notion of praxis.
On the Poetic Dispute between Paul Celan and Johannes Bobrowski
Authors: Gilmanov Vladimir Kh. , Kotilenkova Anzhela A.
Published: May 2024

The main purpose of this work is to explore the experience of confronting guilt ‘after Auschwitz’ in the creative dialogue between two significant poets of the twentieth century — Paul Celan and Johannes Bobrowski. Despite their importance, their works remain inade­quately studied, particularly in the context of the interaction between language and existence, or more precisely, poetic semiotics and the ontological foundation of existence. Sander Gil­man, an American Germanist, in his work “Why and How I Study German” aimed at stu­dents of the German language in the United States, notes: “Learning German means under­standing the path that leads from the text to the crematory”. Celan shared a similar senti­ment. Bobrowski, while agreeing with Celan's belief that Auschwitz revealed the infernal nature of the German language, attempted to counter him by suggesting that even within the language of the underworld, a poet could serve as a synergistic participant in the manifesta­tion of Truth from the Light of Truth in the performative "production of the presence" of God. One of those who supported him in this argument was perhaps the most complex author in German history, Hamann, whom Goethe considered to be “the brightest mind of his time” and the future “forefather and teacher” of all Germans. In this context, the poetic dialogue between Celan and Bobrowski concerning the German ‘language after Auschwitz’ could be seen as an effort to prevent its complete deontologization, due to what the philosopher Hei­degger referred to as “the lack of holy names," stemming from “the defining characteristic of the present era of the world being the closed dimension of the Sacred”.
Linguocognitive bases for the integration of the poetic text into cinematic discourse
Authors: Zykova Irina V.
Published: May 2024

The article delves into the intricacies of integrating poetic texts into the discourse of au­thorial cinema. It begins by examining the multifaceted interaction between cinema and poet­ry within contemporary artistic culture, framing author cinematography through the lens of the poetic concept. Intermediality and interdiscursivity are explored as intrinsic properties of cinema, serving as tools for shaping the unique style and aesthetics of filmmakers. Two films, “Stalker” by Andrei Tarkovsky and “Ugly Swans” by Konstantin Lopushansky, are selected as primary sources for analysis due to their continuity and innovative qualities. The research employs a comprehensive methodology, including parameterization of linguistic creativity, corpus annotation, and conceptual analysis of verbal and non-verbal elements that contribute to the films’ poetics. Data processing techniques are then applied to interpret the findings. The study uncovers both similarities and differences in the approaches of the two filmmakers to incorporating poetic material into their works. It concludes that the integration of poetic texts into films serves as a mechanism for eliciting a unique psycho-emotional response from viewers, facilitating their engagement with the filmmaker’s ideological concepts.

Authors:   Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Dentistry, Kampala International University Uganda, Pio Itiara Betty
Published: May 2024

Among the over 33 million individuals living with HIV/AIDS, one-third also contracted tuberculosis, making it a significant co-infection. Tuberculosis emerged as the primary cause of illness and death within the HIV/AIDS community, responsible for approximately 30% of all fatalities among those affected. While curable when accurately diagnosed and promptly treated, addressing tuberculosis in HIV/AIDS patients required special attention due to the intricacies involved in diagnosing and treating both conditions concurrently. Employing a quantitative cross-sectional design, the study aimed to ascertain PTB prevalence and its socio-demographic and behavioral determinants among HIV/AIDS patients attending the ART clinic. Eighty-seven participants were selected via simple random sampling, with questionnaires serving as the primary data collection tool. The findings revealed a significant association between age over 45 years and the occurrence of pulmonary TB, with an odds ratio of 0.71 (0.45–3.77) and a p-value of 0.035. Additionally, male gender exhibited a notable association with PTB among HIV patients, with an odds ratio of 0.48 (0.15-8.14) and a p-value of 0.001. Furthermore, the study indicated a correlation between PTB occurrence and HIV patients, with an odds ratio of 0.35 (0.001-3.79) and a p-value of 0.024. The study's conclusion highlighted that approximately 18.4% of HIV-positive patients had experienced pulmonary tuberculosis. Recommendations included promoting good adherence to ART and TB prophylaxis among HIV patients to bolster immunity against TB. Encouraging HIV patients to steer clear of behaviors that heighten TB risk, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, was also advised. Additionally, the government was urged to enhance support and supplies for individuals living with HIV and tuberculosis, aiming to prevent disease progression through tertiary interventions.

Investigating the Protective Effects of a Tryptophan-Based Diet in Alcoholics: An Experimental Study on Depression and Anxiety
Authors:   School of Pharmacy, Kampala International University, Uganda, Alafat Mayanja
Published: May 2024

Depression and anxiety are prevalent co-morbidities among individuals with chronic alcohol consumption, posing significant health challenges worldwide. This study aimed to explore the potential protective effects of a tryptophan-based diet against depressive tendencies and anxiety associated with chronic alcohol consumption. Using an experimental design, Wistar rats were subjected to chronic alcohol administration along with varying doses of a tryptophan-based diet over 28 days. Behavioral tests including the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) and Forced Swim Test (FST) were conducted to evaluate anxiety-like behavior and depressive tendencies, respectively. Results indicated a significant decrease in immobility time in the FST with increasing doses of the tryptophan-based diet, suggesting antidepressant effects. Moreover, the anxiety index decreased while the time spent on open arms increased with higher doses of the diet in the EPM, indicating anxiolytic effects. These findings suggest that a high tryptophan-based diet could serve as a potential intervention for individuals with alcohol-related depression and anxiety. Keywords: Depression, anxiety, alcohol, tryptophan, diet, alcoholics

Authors:   Clinical Medicine and dentistry of Kampala International University Western Campus, Uganda, Nathern Bagonza
Published: May 2024

Hypertension is an important contributor to the global burden of disease and mortality, and is a growing public concern in the developing world but data on hypertension and its associated factors among populations in the developing nations is minimal. However, in Uganda as the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), emphasis has been placed on communicable diseases which are also highly prevalent in the region. This study assessed the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors among adults twenty years and above attending Hoima Regional Referral Hospital. A cross-sectional study design was used. The study employed qualitative and quantitative research approaches to collect data. This study found a relatively high prevalence of hypertension (17.1%) among patients attending Hoima Regional Referral Hospital. The prevalence of hypertension in this peri-urban study area confirms the growing public health challenge of non-communicable diseases in Uganda. However, community-based studies are required to determine the extent of this problem and the associated factors of hypertension in Ugandan communities, owing to the increasing burden of NCDs in developing countries. We need interventions that aim to reduce the associated factors identified in this study, targeting the entire population to lower the risk and prevalence of hypertension. Keywords: Hypertension, Sub-Saharan Africa, Communicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases.

Authors:   Kampala International University Uganda, Akwagiobe, Akpanke Richard , Mercy Okpoko ,   Kampala International University Uganda, Lovina Otudor ,   Kampala International University Uganda
Published: May 2024

Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution method often commenced by express agreement of parties in a dispute. Arbitration has become an increasingly preferred method of settling commercial disputes and thought to have advantages over the traditional litigation. However, a problem could emerge where one party to the arbitration is unwilling to comply with the terms of the award. In this case a successful party is left with no option than to use the enforcement machinery of the courts. This paper adopts the doctrinal approach in discussing the issues with the procedure provided for in the various rules of courts for recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. It also identifies the challenges inherent in the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. The paper identifies other enforcement machineries outside the courts and concludes that arbitration, if not properly managed may ultimately cause delay in enforcement and become a time wasting method therefore defeating the very essence of opting for arbitration instead of litigation. Keywords: Challenges, Recognition, Enforcement, Arbitral Award

Cancel culture on twitter: Cancelling Russians and Ukrainians in the context of Russian-Ukrainian war
Authors: Marsenić Marija
Published: May 2024

This research deals with the analysis of the phenomenon of cancel culture on the social network Twitter in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Cancel culture as a social phenomenon is becoming increasingly important on social networks, and Twitter has become the key environment for expressing and sharing opinions on this topic. The aim of this research is to understand how Twitter users shape the discourse on cancel culture during the current Russian-Ukrainian war, as well as to assess the intensity of this phenomenon in two different time periods - March 2022 and March 2023. The quantitative-qualitative method of content analysis and discourse analysis was used in the research. The research findings indicate that cancel culture intensified in March 2023 compared to March 2022. The research results highlight that a greater number of tweets were written in a negative tone, manifested in aggressive and insulting comments and sharp polarization into two opposing camps, which corresponds to the characteristic patterns of cancel culture when it comes to Twitter. The use of hashtags has proven to be a powerful tool for promoting ideologies and constructing meaning, enabling the creation of a particular narrative and eliciting connections with like-minded people. The research provides a deeper insight into the dynamics of cancel culture on Twitter in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, demonstrating how social and political events shape the perception and opinions of Twitter users.
Ethical aspects of reporting on juvenile crime in Serbia
Authors: Kovačević Milica
Published: May 2024

The subject of the paper is reporting on juvenile crime in Serbia on the websites of daily newspapers Kurir and Politika. By applying the content analysis, the author intended to determine whether reporting was approached professionally, as well as whether journalists dealt with the causes of juvenile delinquency, while at the same time trying to educate readers about the specific characteristics of this phenomenon. The aim of the paper is to examine the compliance of media coverage with the relevant norms that bind journalists. The results of the research indicate that, in a formal and legal sense, media reporting is in compliance with the positive regulations governing this area, but that the ethics could be at a higher level. Although reporting is generally based on the named sources and does not contradict the principle of privacy protection, there is no indication of the broader context in which juvenile delinquency manifests itself. The media image of juvenile crime created by the analyzed websites emphasizes violent crime, although juveniles in Serbia predominantly commit property crimes. The author concludes that there is a need for more substantive reporting that would not be limited to the mere transmission of information about the most serious forms of juvenile crime, but would also educate the general public about this topic.

Nove dias de abril de 1964: da democracia liberal à ditadura militar
Authors: Ferreira Jorge
Published: May 2024

No dia 1º de abril de 1964, um golpe de Estado retirou João Goulart da presidência da República. O objetivo foi depor o presidente, mas não impor um regime autoritário. No entanto, nos oito dias seguintes, militares e diversas organizações da sociedade, a imprensa em particular, defenderam punições aos chamados “comunistas”. O resultado foi o Ato Institucional do dia 9 de abril, abrindo caminho para o estabelecimento da ditadura no país. Utilizando a imprensa como fonte privilegiada e recorrendo a uma abordagem microanalítica, a pesquisa aponta a conivência da imprensa, das instituições políticas e de diversas organizações sociais na construção do autoritarismo militar.

Published: May 2024

A field study was conducted during rainy (kharif) season of 2017 at Barapani, Meghalaya, to find out the effects of weed and nitrogen management on weed flora and yield of transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.) in North-Eastern region of India. The experiment was taken in split-plot design with 3 replications. In the main plot, 4 weed management practices, viz. unweeded control; oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha followed by (fb) bispyribac-Na 0.02 kg/ha; oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha fb hand weeding (HW) at 40 days after transplanting (DAT), and 2 HW at 20 and 40 DAT was taken, while 4 N levels, viz. 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg N/ha were taken in sub-plots. At 60 DAT, total weed population and weed density were remained at par in HW at 20 and 40 DAT, oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha fb HW at 40 DAT and oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha fb bispyribac-Na 0.02 kg/ha. The grain yield also followed the same trend and remained at par in HW at 20 and 40 DAT, oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha fb HW at 40 DAT and oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha fb bispyribac-Na 0.02 kg/ha. However, in terms of net returns, application of oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha fb bispyribac-Na 0.02 kg/ha recorded the highest followed by oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha fb HW at 40 DAT. Application of N at higher level reduced the total weed population at 60 DAT and a reverse trend was found with weed dry weight. Application of 90 kg N/ha recorded higher grain yield, net returns and benefit: cost ratio. It may be concluded that oxadiargyl 0.08 kg/ha fb bispyribac-Na 0.02 kg/ha with 90 kg N/ha could be an alternative for HW to enhance the productivity in transplanted rice for North-Eastern region of India.
