The online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary [i] states that ‘cultural appropriation’ is ‘the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture’. And – quite possibly – there’s a lot more of that going on in the way of watching television than there ever used to be. As I think I mentioned before, I’m rather fond of jazz (even if nobody’s ever really

Two broadly anthropocene concerns—the ‘human’ condition along with the condition of this human planet, Earth—bear on all discursive practices central to contemporary areas of research in humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Both these concerns reconfigure ways in which humans have come to make sense of themselves and of the world which they share with other forms of life.

The struggle for reading in the 21st century: A race against time
Authors: Dejanović Maja , Ćelić Biljana
Published: November 2024

Public libraries are valuable resources in society. Although reading may seem less popular in the light of digital media, there are several ways libraries can retain their users and adapt to changes in the 21st century. How public libraries can attract and retain users in the digital age is discussed in this paper. First of all, every public library must enable digital accessibility to all its services. The library should provide access to digital content to enable users to read e-books, audiobooks, magazines, and other digital resources. This provision of access to computers with access to the internet or only to a Wi-Fi network for users in the library becomes the most important form of public library work. Libraries can use social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to communicate with their users and promote their services. Creating online communities of users through forums or groups to share reading recommendations can also help maintain interest in reading. Organizing workshops for users on the use of digital devices, e-books, and other technological tools, can help increase digital literacy and self-confidence of users in using new technologies. Public libraries can use technology to personalize recommendations for books and other materials based on users' interests. For example, they can implement recommendation systems similar to those used by online stores and streaming platforms. By collaborating with other educational institutions, bookstores, museums, and other cultural institutions, they can create synergy between different forms of cultural experiences. This may include organizing joint events, literary festivals, lectures, and workshops.

Cultural programmes are extremely highly positioned on the list of motives and popular sorts of activities when travelling. The sectors of culture and tourism tend to cooperate more following the development of cultural tourism. The trend in the development of heritage tourism is the design and presentation of themed tourist routes. Thus, the related heritage subjects and their destinations are connected, which contributes to their advancement, as well as to the interculturalism, popularization, and net-worked protection of heritage. The role of libraries is significant in cultural tourism. Through its carefully designed programmes, the library wants to present itself to both tourists and the locals. It presents the local cultural heritage, enabling the visitors to actively participate in cultural events and giving them the opportunity to creatively express themselves. This paper focuses on the programmes of cultural routes designed by the "Children's Cultural Geography" association in collaboration with cultural institutions in several cities of the region. The most representative project is Walking and Talking -On the Path of the Battle of Kolubara, which was realized in cooperation with the library in Lazarevac.

La regulación de la designación de los candidatos electorales por los partidos políticos en Alemania
Authors: Morlok Martin
Published: November 2024

La legitimidad de una democracia parlamentaria como la alemana depende en buena medida de la correcta configuración de las elecciones parlamentarias; y para el mejor logro de tal conformación resulta esencial no sólo la articulación de un buen sistema de votación; si la preselección del personal en la nominación de candidatos determina en gran medida la composición del parlamento tiene sentido recurrir también a procedimientos democráticos a la hora de designar a los candidatos que presentan los partidos. Así lo previó la Ley Fundamental de Bonn en su artículo 21. Se analiza así la regulación específica que concreta el mandato existente en la Ley Fundamental de Bonn y su desarrollo práctico, prestando una especial atención a los problemas teóricos y prácticos que se han ido presentando y sus repercusiones. En el debate posterior a la conferencia se plantearon cuestiones muy interesantes como la cuestión de la imposición de listas electorales paritarias o la repercusión práctica de las candidaturas uninominales en Alemania.
La regulación de la inteligencia artificial en Europa
Authors: Presno Linera Miguel Ángel , Meuwese Anne
Published: November 2024

Pocas semanas antes de finalizar la redacción de estas páginas se conocieron tanto el texto del Reglamento del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo por el que se establecen normas armonizadas en materia de inteligencia artificial (la llamada Ley de Inteligencia Artificial) como el del Convenio Marco del Consejo de Europa sobre inteligencia artificial, derechos humanos, democracia y Estado de Derecho. Ambas normas son el resultado presente de un proceso de debate legislativo, institucional, social, tecnológico y económico que se remonta a varios años atrás y que parte del convencimiento, como se dice en el Libro Blanco sobre la inteligencia artificial de la Comisión Europea, de que la inteligencia artificial «cambiará nuestras vidas, pues mejorará la atención sanitaria, aumentará la eficiencia de la agricultura, contribuirá a la mitigación del cambio climático y a la correspondiente adaptación, mejorará la eficiencia de los sistemas de producción a través de un mantenimiento predictivo, aumentará la seguridad de los europeos y nos aportará otros muchos cambios que de momento solo podemos intuir. Al mismo tiempo, la IA conlleva una serie de riesgos potenciales, como la opacidad en la toma de decisiones, la discriminación de género o de otro tipo, la intromisión en nuestras vidas privadas o su uso con fines delictivos». En las siguientes páginas analizaremos las respuestas jurídicas que se han dado en Europa al reto de regular la IA de forma no apocalíptica pero tampoco totalmente integrada: cómo definen estas normas la inteligencia artificial, qué principios generales las han inspirado, la opción por un enfoque regulatorio basado en los riesgos, las diferencias estructurales entre el Reglamento de la Unión Europea y el Convenio Marco del Consejo de Europa, el tratamiento de los modelos de inteligencia artificial de uso general y, finalmente, los posibles «efecto Bruselas» y «efecto Estrasburgo» que pueden provocar estas normas.

THE KEY DIRECTIONS FOR IMPROVING THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF THE TAX SYSTEM IN THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
Authors: Manucharyan Marat
Published: November 2024

The transition to market relations involves addressing numerous challenges, and resolving these challenges is essential for creating the necessary preconditions for the further development of the market economy in the Republic of Armenia (RA). This includes the implementation of radical transformations in the country's financial, monetary, banking, fiscal, social, structural, and other systems. During the reforms of the financial system in the Republic of Armenia, special attention has been given to the creation and ongoing improvement of an effective tax system. In this regard, the RA State Revenue Committee, as the tax authority, has served as a state government body responsible for tax administration for more than 30 years. Over this period, it has accumulated significant experience and, in line with contemporary developments, has implemented various infrastructures and information systems. According to the author, the financial management of the RA tax system falls within the general theory of management, and the functions of financial management, such as financial planning, analysis, forecasting, and control, are adequately reflected in this context. The article emphasizes the conceptual foundations of program budgeting and accounting, which ensure a practical, close connection between the financial management of the RA tax system and accounting, budgeting, and the financial flows of the tax system and their related transactions. This connection leads to the effective management of the assets and liabilities of the RA tax system.
APPROACHES TO ASSESSING THE MINIMUM SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE ORGANIZATION
Authors: Mikayelyan Vahe , Manukyan Tigran
Published: November 2024

The coefficient of financial independence is an important indicator characterizing the level of financial stability of the organization. It reflects the level of use of own funds by the company to carry out its activities. This indicator is also an important analytical tool for investors, creditors and management personnel, as it helps to assess the level of risk associated with the company's financial policies and its ability to ensure financial stability in the long term. The article proposes a new approach to assessing the minimum necessary amount of equity capital for the organization and the sufficient (smallest) level of the coefficient of financial independence based on it.

Analysis of business activity is one of the most important areas of comprehensive analysis of a company's activities. In the economic literature, the category of turnover is often identified with the business activity of an organization. However, in our opinion, business activity is a broader concept, and turnover is the most important component of an organization’s business activity. The article examines the economic content of the categories “business activity” and “turnover,” as well as approaches to assessing the impact of turnover on the financial position of an organization.

Authors: Zhiya Wumani , Ogbe Titus , McAsule Augustine
Published: November 2024

The effect of annealing temperature on the optical properties of Bismuth Sulfide was studied. A chemical bath deposition technique was employed in the synthesis, and UV-Vis spectroscopy (Spectrum lab 752s) was used to measure the optical properties. The measurement was carried out at a wavelength range between 200 nm and 500 nm. The transmittance increased with an increase in wavelength, and lower values were observed at higher annealing temperatures. The absorbance is high at higher annealing temperatures, and its value decreases with increased wavelength. The reflectance also has high values at high annealing temperatures, and its value increases with an increase in wavelength. The band gap was found to decrease with an increase in annealing temperature. It is clearly shown that the annealing temperature greatly affects the optical properties of Bismuth Sulfide semiconductors.

Una revisión sobre el modo híbrido de conducir la guerra
Authors: Álvarez Torres Augusto , Passos Gomes Thiago da Rocha
Published: November 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el concepto de guerra híbrida y la manera de conducir este tipo de guerra, para desestabilizar un Estado provocando la polarización de la sociedad. Para esta investigación se utilizó el método hermenéutico interpretativo. Es un tema que se confunde con varios conceptos ya utilizados en las ciencias militares; por ejemplo, guerra de cuarta generación, guerras compuestas, conflictos asimétricos, revolución en los asuntos militares, guerra no convencional, guerra no lineal, guerras grises, entre otros. También, hay autores que sostienen que tampoco es un concepto nuevo. Por ello, es un tema que no es aceptado por unanimidad y todavía sigue en construcción. En resumen, la guerra híbrida representa un desafío significativo para la seguridad global en el siglo XXI. La combinación de tácticas convencionales e irregulares, junto con las operaciones de influencia, crea un entorno de conflicto complejo y dinámico.

Authors: Maghfira Deanita , Husni Muhammad , Aziz Abdul
Published: November 2024

This study aims to determine the correlation of math anxiety to numeracy skills. The sample in this study was one class, namely class V at 5 Elementary School Selong with a total of 27 people. The research design used is correlational with quantitative research type. The results of the validity and reliability tests stated that there were 17 valid and highly reliable math anxiety questionnaire statement items and there were 20 valid and reliable numeracy test items. To analyze the data, researchers used the Person Product Moment correlation which previously conducted a normality test manually with the help of excel using the Saphiro Wilk formula. Based on data analysis, the calculation of the variable relationship is -0.40. This means that math anxiety with numeracy skills is a negative correlation. Based on the interpretation of the correlation coefficient, the relationship between the two variables is in the moderate category. The amount of contribution of math anxiety variables to numeracy skills is 16% and 84% is determined by other variables. After that, the significance test is carried out with the T-test, then seen from the hypothesis testing criteria, namely obtained tcount = -2.17 while ttable (5%) = 2.06. From the calculation results, it can be seen that the result of tcount = -2.17 < ttable = -2.06. This shows that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. So it is concluded that "there is a significant correlation between math anxiety level and students' numeracy skills"
Therapeutic potential of liver X receptor beta in depression and anxiety
Authors: Song Xiaoyu , Gustafsson Jan-Åke
Published: November 2024

Liver X receptors (LXRs), particularly LXRβ, are emerging as crucial players in the translation of basic neuroscience to clinical psychiatry. These nuclear receptor transcription factors, initially known for their roles in cholesterol metabolism and inflammation, are now revealing promising connections between molecular mechanisms and psychiatric symptoms. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in understanding LXRβ's regulation and function in behaviors relevant to depression and anxiety, derived from studies using animal paradigms that capture specific features of these disorders. We explore how these preclinical findings are shaping our comprehension of mood-related behaviors at the molecular level and potentially paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies. As a ligand-activated transcription factor, LXRβ represents a novel target for drug development, potentially bridging the gap between bench discoveries and bedside treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders. We discuss the challenges and opportunities in translating LXRβ research into clinical interventions, emphasizing the potential for personalized medicine approaches in psychiatry. This bench-to-bedside article underscores the importance of LXRβ research in advancing our understanding and treatment of complex mental health conditions, while acknowledging the nuanced interpretation required when extrapolating from animal studies to human disorders.

A novel animal paradigm of long-term, stress-induced hippocampal atrophy
Authors: Wong Ma-Li , Mastronardi Claudio , Licinio Julio
Published: November 2024

Long-term hippocampal atrophy is a key feature of major depression. In contrast, in rodents subjected to chronic stress there is reversibly decreased hippocampal volume. We show that exposure to seven days of restraint stress alone or with antidepressant treatment combined with a persistent high-fat diet environment lasting 165 days resulted in long-term, stress-induced hippocampal volume reduction in rats, better reflecting the hippocampal shrinkage that is well documented in patients with major depressive disorder.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), typically presenting in young adults (20–50 years old). Clinical manifestations are heterogeneous, depending on which part of the CNS demyelination occurs. Therefore, this study aims to assess whether different symptoms at first acute manifestation of MS are associated with worse functional outcomes. We enrolled all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MS, regardless of the subtype, so long as it fulfilled the McDonald's 2017 criteria. A stepwise multiple linear regression model included statistically significant (p < 0.05) variables in the Mann–Whitney U test. A total of 195 patients with MS were included in the final analysis, of which 140 (78.5%) were female. Acute blurry vision, acute paralysis, acute hypoesthesia, autonomic syndrome, and Lhermitte's sign at disease outbreak were found to be associated with worse EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale) in univariate tests. In adjusted analysis, the independent predictors of worse EDSS were acute blurry vision (Beta = 0.183; p = 0.010) and autonomic syndrome (Beta = 0.219; p = 0.003). These results may help better understand the relationship between MS symptomatology, functionality, and patient prognosis, potentially assisting physicians in determining MS patient's initial treatment.
The genetics of cognition in schizophrenia
Authors: Owen Michael J. , O'Donovan Michael C.
Published: November 2024

This conceptual review focuses on recent insights into the nature of the relationship between genetic predisposition and cognitive impairment as risk factors for schizophrenia, and the factors that influence the degree of cognitive impairment in those with the disorder. There is clear evidence that premorbid cognitive impairment is frequently present in those who develop schizophrenia, and, across the range of abilities, poorer premorbid cognition is associated with higher liability to the disorder. Evidence from genetic and population studies strongly supports the hypothesis that premorbid cognitive impairment is a marker for underlying neurodevelopmental risk factors for the disorder, rather than a prodromal manifestation. The premorbid cognitive deficit seems to be largely explained by non-familial factors rather than by familial factors that jointly influence liability to schizophrenia and cognitive ability, and these non-familial risk factors appear act to sensitize individuals to familial risk. There is also evidence that neurodevelopmental risk may be better indexed by the degree to which premorbid cognitive ability deviates from familial expectations than by cognitive ability per se. Premorbid cognitive impairment thus does not itself lie on the causal pathway to schizophrenia, rather it is a marker of a neurodevelopmental abnormality that is substantially non-familial, and which increases risk for schizophrenia. Genetic risk factors, including both common and rare alleles, that influence IQ in the general population also contribute both to liability for schizophrenia and to the degree of cognitive impairment in those with the disorder. There is also evidence for further decline in cognitive function after diagnosis in some individuals as well as an increased risk of dementia. This does not appear to reflect substantial shared heritability with neurodegenerative disorders, but the causes of postonset cognitive decline and its relationship to schizophrenia pathophysiology remain uncertain.
