Authors: Yukina G. Yu. , Sukhorukova E. G. , Polovnikov I. V. , Kryzhanovskaya E. A.
Published: December 2021

The issue of the potential safety of silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SDNPs) remains relevant. In this connection, in order to use the unique capabilities of silicon nanostructures for biomedical purposes, as well as to level their toxic effects, a detailed study of these nanoparticles interaction with cells and tissues in vivo is required.

The aim of the research is to reveal morphofunctional changes in a rat's liver after a single parenteral administration of 12 nm silicon dioxide nanoparticles for the period of six months.

Material and methods. Using general histological and immunohistochemical methods to study the rats' liver after a single parenteral administration of 1 ml of silicon dioxide nanoparticles at a dose of 7 mg/kg of body weight at a concentration of 2 mg/ml. The sections of the rats' liver were studied by general histological and immunohistochemical methods after injection of 1mL of a SDNPs saline suspension at a concentration of 2 mg/mL (7mg/kg of body weight). Control animals were injected with 1 ml of saline solution. The material was collected in 21 days, 2, 4 and 6 months months after the administration of the SDNPs and it was fixed in 10% neutral formaldehyde.

Results. The formation of granulomas in the liver on the 21st day of the experiment and an increase in the number of Kupfer cells were revealed. However, by the 2nd month of the experiment, the number of granulomas significantly decreases compared to the 21st day of the experiment and continues to decrease in subsequent periods. The average size of granulomas decreases during the 2nd month of the experiment and does not change during the subsequent periods of the experiment. After 6 months of the experiment, the morphofunctional state of the liver is characterized by slightly pronounced aseptic inflammation.

Conclusion. A single parenteral administration of silicon dioxide nanoparticles causes pronounced aseptic inflammation of the liver, decreasing by the 6th month of the experiment. Connective tissue remodeling in the liver is not observed at all periods of the experiment.

Published: December 2021

O presente estudo buscou dados que retratem a realidade das Instituições Públicas de Ensino Superior do país, no tocante à acessibilidade e inclusão social. Para isso o estudo teve como parâmetro 25 instituições de ensino superior públicas do país, as quais foram questionadas via Sistema de Informação ao Cidadão a respeito dos dados quantitativos de pessoas com deficiência na instituição (servidores, docentes e discentes) e outros dados de acessibilidade e inclusão social da instituição. Além disso, foi feito um estudo de caso na Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro para maior detalhamento das mesmas condições nesta instituição. O trabalho foi realizado considerando a legislação brasileira de amparo às pessoas com deficiência e pertinentes à acessibilidade e inclusão social, bem como foi utilizada pesquisa documental e bibliográfica para aprofundamento na temática. Verificou-se que as IES estão investindo na implementação da acessibilidade, com aquisição de Tecnologias Assistivas e adaptações de suas edificações. No entanto, a falta de recursos, questões atitudinais, conscientização da comunidade acadêmica, implantação de políticas de acessibilidade e serviço de atendimento especializado ainda são obstáculos pontuados por algumas instituições. Verificou-se que todas as instituições analisadas ofertam a disciplina Libras para os discentes e servidores. Conclui-se assim que a busca pela implementação da acessibilidade e inclusão social ainda é uma realidade a ser enfrentada pelas instituições superiores públicas no país.
Structure as an innovation
Authors: Panteleeva Iskra
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the chapter is to present basic theoretical fundaments in the field of structurally significant formations that companies apply in the process of their business operations, market projections and innovative changes. Organizational forms and structures are presented in the evolutionary context of the time parameter, applying a chronological historical landmark. Knowledge of the variety of possibilities for structural dimensions of the functional manifestations of business activity provides an expanded range of possible solutions. Basic definition formulations are considered. The emphasis is on the organization and organizational structural forms, changes in their practical dimensions in accordance with the changes in purely managerial knowledge and the needs of business practice for innovative changes in various functions in the scope of company’s activity. With the help of various creative and purely managerial approaches, through cognitive brainstorming activities, a set of analytical, inductive-deductive, case and simulation methods, students gain new knowledge, practical skills and visionary views on the presented issues—by combining theoretical statements, empirical factology and analytical assignments based on the principle of learning by doing. The topic draws students’ attention to the study, selection and construction of internal units and structures, including innovative ones, as part of the necessary business projections for the construction of sustainable processes to generate new value and positive impacts for the environment and stakeholders.

Civic Participation as Constitutional Lawful Behavior
Authors:   Director of the Law Institute Head of the Department of Constitutional and Administrative Law of the South Ural State University (National Research University) PhD (Law), Associate Professor, Titova Elena V.
Published: December 2021

The author proposes to consider civic participation as a lawful constitutional behavior. The concept of civic participation as a legal constitutional behavior includes goals and motives for participation, behavioral attitudes and a volitional component. It is noted that an important circumstance of civic participation is the combination of political-legal and public-social components in it. For the experience of theorizing socio-constitutional behavioral practices, it is proposed to conditionally distinguish between civic and public participation. On the example of such practices of civic participation as volunteering, it is noted that the constitutional legitimization of models of civic participation is important, as a result of which such behavior acquires legal significance.

The paper considers the prerequisites and general trends in the development of local government in Russia during the Provisional Government and the issue of participation of the organized public in the reform activities of the Provisional Government, aimed at reorganizing the system of local government. The victory of the February Revolution raised the question of how the government in the center and in the localities will work. Provisional Government took a course towards building an updated system of municipal government and indicated this in the Declaration of March 3, 1917. On March 23 Counsel on the reform of local government and administration under the Ministry of the Interior was formed. It was engaged in legal support of the local government reform. Experienced zemstvo and city actors, as well as notable representatives of the scientific community, took part in the work of the Counsel, thanks to which the Provisional Government managed to achieve certain success in the formation of the beginnings of a new Russian civil society, built on a system of full-fledged realization of the rights and freedoms of citizens through local authorities. However, due to the slowness and certain actual problems, the reorganization was not finished.

Sensory Storytelling, a Current Tool of Communication in Advertising
Authors: Catau Veres Daniela
Published: December 2021

Through the concept of sensory storytelling, we enter a field of communication still insufficiently explored, but which allows us to find out how advertising discourse is organized and works in a way as close as possible to reality, even if the mechanisms that compose it are not always understood by consumer, but are well directed by those behind the scenes of advertising. The analytical categories of the advertising narrative text, partially addressed in studies of general narratology and advertising semiotics, confirm the importance of narration in advertising communication and the deepening of the process of storytelling for the senses so that the message is persuasive.
Exploring how veterinary professionals perceive and use grief support resources to support companion animal caregivers in Ontario, Canada
Authors: Matte Alisha , Khosa Deep , Meehan Michael
Published: December 2021

Objective: The aim of this study was to qualitatively explore veterinary professionals’ use and perceptions of grief resources and services to support companion animal caregivers following companion animal euthanasia.

Background: The loss of a companion animal can be a source of great sorrow and grief. Like human loss, many companion animal caregivers may seek out and benefit from grief resources, of which veterinary professionals are often important providers. Yet, little is known about how, when or for what reasons veterinary professionals provide these resources.

Methods: A qualitative study consisting of group and individual interviews involving 38 veterinary professionals and staff from 10 veterinary hospitals in Ontario, Canada was conducted. Verbatim transcripts were evaluated using inductive thematic analysis to identify themes and subthemes.

Results: Results indicated that typically resources were only provided if a caregiver requested information, or when veterinary professionals recognised that the caregiver may benefit from these resources. To assess a caregiver’s need, participants reported considering their age, the strength of the human-animal bond, their previous and ongoing life circumstances, and their emotional state. Several barriers limiting veterinary professionals’ use of grief resources were also described including perceptions that few adequate resources existed and a lack of knowledge of existing or new resources.

Conclusion: Overall, findings suggest that there are substantial opportunities to improve and embed a provision of grief resources within the veterinary profession. There is a need to develop adequate resources to meet caregivers’ supportive needs and implement these resources within the greater veterinary profession.
MОДЕЛИ НЕГАТИВНОГ ИЛИ НЕАДЕКВАТНОГ ПОРОДИЧНОГ ВАСПИТНОГ ДЕЛОВАЊА У ВОЈВОДИНИ КРАЈЕМ 19. ВЕКА
Authors: Nemet Ferenc , Pinter Krekić Valerija , Popovic Virdjinija Aurel
Published: December 2021

У другој половини 19. века, за време Аустроугарске Монархије, у Војводини се мало који просветни радник, учитељ или професор одважио да се лати пера, напише и објави своја запажања о појединим моделима негативног или неадекватног породичног васпитног деловања у Војводини крајем 19. века који су за свој крајњи, негативни исход имали срозавање друштвеног морала. Један од ретких, који се на то осмелио, био је учитељ Ференц Јунг, који је своја искуства и запажања у том домену, сажео у књизи објављеној у Сомбору 1888. године на мађарском језику, A téves nevelési rendszerek áldozatai vagy a társadalmi erkölcs hanyatlásának okai. Rajzok a nevelészet köréből/[Жртве погршних васпитних система, тј. разлози пада друштвеног морала. Теме из области вапитања] намењеној родитељима као практичан водич за васпитање деце и како да препознају погрешне моделе васпитања, дајући им смернице за правилна васпитна начела. Јунг је у својој књизи елаборирао и указао на десетак разних негативних, неадекватних принципа васпитања, који су нанели штету појединцу и друштву у целини. У раду се анализирају модели породичног васпитног деловања у Војводини које је Ференц Јунг описао у својој кризи са акцентом на неадекване и погрешне моделе за васпитање деце као и на његове практичне савете из домена образовања и васпитања, као и друштвено-историјски контекст у којем су настале ове методе. Дело Ференца Јунга је свакако откриће за педагогију, будући да њу не бележи ниједна библиографија, те је због тога  веома интересантан извор информација за историју педагошких наука на овим просторима.

Кључне речи: Ференц Јунг, Војводина, неподобни системи васпитања, критика праксе васпитања у Аустроугарској Монархији, 19. век
C’EST QUOI, LE EN DU GÉRONDIF ?
Authors: Samardžija Tatjana
Published: December 2021

L’article contraste, d’un côté, les travaux qui voient dans le gérondif une structure bi-morphématique, composée de la préposition en et du participe présent (Waugh, 1976 ; Kindt, 1999 ; Anscombre, 2001 ; Lipsky, 2003 ; Khammari, 2006 ; Wilmet, 2007 ; Cuniţă, 2011 ;  Rihs, 2013) et, de l’autre, la critique de cette position, présentée par G. Kleiber (2007a et b), qui propose de considérer le gérondif comme une structure mono-morphématique, résultant de la grammaticalisation de l’union entre l’ancienne préposition EN et la forme -ANT, qui n’est plus équivalente au participe présent moderne. Nous concentrant sur deux points principaux – l’identité de en dans le gérondif et l’aspect sécant du participe présent – nous soutenons qu’il est indispensable de réunir les faits diachroniques et synchroniques pour offrir une vue synthétique et conciliatrice du gérondif, où en garde toujours l’essentiel de son sémanisme, en modifiant de manière profonde les propriétés aspectuelles de la forme participiale en -ant. Il se crée ainsi une structure complexe figée dont la fonction est d’introduire un cadre temporel et logique pour le prédicat principal, auquel elle impose différents degrés de coalescence.
VIŠESTRUKA FOKALIZACIJA U PRIČI U ČESTARU RJUNOSUKEA AKUTAGAVE I ROMANU TROJE DŽULIJANA BARNSA
Authors: Živanović Branislav
Published: December 2021

Ukoliko se fokalizacijom naziva perspektiva iz koje su predočeni pripovedne situacije i događaji, odnosno, opažajna ili konceptualna pozicija iz koje se predstavljaju pripovedne situacije, pokazaćemo kako je u priči U čestaru Rjunosukea Akugatave i romanu Troje Džulijana Barnsa, za razliku od klasičnog, odnosno tradicionalnog pripovedanja, gde pozicija naratora varira ili je ponekad nije moguće odrediti, tj. važi određenje nulte fokalizacije: locirana pozicija pripovedača koja podrazumeva opažajne ili konceptualne suspenzije kada prikazano zavisi isključivo od perspektive likova koji se u pripovesti oglašavaju. Tada za takvu poziciju kažemo da poseduje višestruku fokalizaciju. Kako fokalizacija može biti unutrašnja i spoljašnja, videćemo da ni kod Akutagave ni kod Barnsa ne postoji zadovoljenje takvom podelom. Oba autora u svojim pripovednim postupcima implementiraju postavke o fokalizaciji kojom se bavi naratologija i prisutna je u teorijskim radovima Žerara Ženeta, a što je poslužilo metodološkom okviru rada. S obzirom da Ženet specificira mesto fokalizatora unutar dijegeze insistiranjem na razlikovanju onoga ko vidi/opaža od onoga ko govori, pokazaćemo kako se kod Aktagave i Barnsa one objedinjuju i smenjuju u protagonistima sa promenljivim stepenom realizacije.

Published: December 2021

Featherweight Java is one of the most popular calculi which specify object-oriented programming features. It has been used as the basis for investigating novel language functionalities, as well as to specify and understand the formal properties of existing features for languages in this paradigm. However, when considering mechanized formalization, it is hard to find an implementation for languages with complex structures and binding mechanisms as Featherweight Java. In this paper we formalize Featherweight Java, implementing the static and dynamic semantics in Agda, and proving the main safety properties for this calculus.
Engaging in group research with migrant children: Innovative data collection method for migrant children in Delhi
Authors: Lamba Yukti , Palattiyil George
Published: December 2021

In India, data point to a considerable number of children leaving or running away from their parental homes in rural villages and migrating to urban areas. Many end up in cities like Delhi where they are exposed to a number of risks and vulnerabilities. While many of these children reach cities with dreams of ‘making it big’, the reality of living on the street is fraught with challenges and danger. Against this backdrop, this study looked at the lived experiences of migrant children in Delhi using a group method- an innovative approach that is increasingly being used in research with children. Innovative techniques such as drawing, storytelling, and the like were used to initiate discussions with and among migrant children to help explore their pre- and post-migration experiences. At the end of the group sessions, many children reported that they felt heard and listened to, that their voice mattered, and that they had developed a sense of self-worth. It also produced rich data that yielded deep insights into the lived experiences of migrant children living on the streets of Delhi. Hence, it can be concluded that group work is an effective way of gathering data from migrant children. However, there are some of the issues and challenges with using group work as a research method with migrant children in an urban setting, which need to be considered in each context.
Enhancing the benefits of group involvement in research
Authors: Home Alice
Published: December 2021

Research can facilitate mutual learning, allow participants’ voices to be heard, increase practical usefulness of studies and foster empowerment. This paper discusses ways that groups can take part in research, outlines advantages and limits of each and explores strategies for enhancing benefits. This content is illustrated with brief examples from recent research publications and from two longer case studies. Groups and members can be involved as participants or co-producers of research. As participants, they either act as research subjects by contributing data, or as collaborators who are consulted at various times to help keep a study relevant to community issues. Being a subject offers an opportunity to reflect and share views, while collaborators and researchers can learn from working together. Though collaborators can exert influence, they have little control over decisions around focus, design, methods or dissemination of a study.  Co-producing knowledge offers community groups more power, learning and empowerment but requires high levels of mutual trust, commitment and persistence. Potential gains and risks increase as involvement intensifies. However, researchers can enhance benefits at any level, by keeping this goal in mind when planning studies.

The Glorious Eden
Authors: Batista Jorge Rodrigues
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo pretende contribuir para o conhecimento da influência exercida pela trilogia: paisagem-imagem – Grand Tour – literatura de viagens, na criação e divulgação da imagem de Sintra. A articulação destes três fatores e a esfera de influência de cada um deles transforma Sintra num lugar privilegiado aos olhos do espetador-contemplador.A crescente divulgação de Sintra, sobretudo na literatura de viagens, teve como principal consequência um aumento de viajantes, que hoje denominaríamos turistas. Os ingleses contam-se em maior número, uma vez que o Grand Tour, enquanto fenómeno que motivou jovens aristocratas a percorrer toda a Europa, teve início em Inglaterra. Porém, à medida que avança a centúria oitocentista há uma diversificação das nacionalidades dos turistas que visitam Sintra e que produzem literatura sobre o local. Paralelamente, o Grand Tour e a literatura de viagens potenciaram uma intervenção na paisagem cenográfica de Sintra, que passou, sobretudo, pela construção, recuperação e valorização do património cultural e natural existentes, incluindo palácios, parques e jardins, operando uma reconfiguração visual do real, muitas vezes imprimindo a determinadas estruturas um aspeto de abandono, decadentista, selvagem e até de ruína que pretende, objetivamente, adequar as características do lugar ao espírito estético do movimento romântico.

Esse artigo apresenta uma análise do filme As filhas do fogo, da argentina Albertina Carri (2019), reivindicado pela cineasta como pornô feminista. Vemos, no longa de ficção, um grupo de mulheres que viaja pela Patagônia argentina em uma vivência lésbica orgiástica. Com inspiração nas teorias queer, nos estudos sobre sensorialidade no cinema e sobre pornografia, além da noção de prática reparadora em Eve Sedgwick (2020), o trabalho busca identificar os modos como a obra provoca deslocamentos nas figurações do desejo feminino, produzindo uma política da imagem em diálogo com o que Paul B. Preciado (2007, 2018) chama de feminismo lúdico, que encontra no audiovisual, na literatura ou na performance seus espaços de ação e que seria capaz de operar como mecanismo de resistência às normatividades sexuais.
Caminhar no trilho das sombras
Authors: Abade Jorge
Published: December 2021

A verdade visual, através do ver, está intimamente ligada ao desenho, especialmente pelo desígnio, que se apresenta de forma proposicional. O desenho, imanente à origem e âmago das artes visuais, não se esgota na função literal de designar, a sua atuação tem uma absoluta transversalidade formadora. A sua ação, que procede de um olhar concentrado, indica e indicia, também mostra e caracteriza, mas sobretudo cria potencial in-visual – aí percorre o seu caminho para a sua transcendência, aporta consigo seu especular e a sua sombra, o seu contido espectral. O desígnio, que se articula num exercício especulativo, na sua faceta de aparição, determina cargas de qualidades imiscuídas nos assuntos, tanto do conteúdo como da forma. Veicula ainda o ser-em-si do desenho, na sua autorreflexividade, que é a dimensão identitária e autónoma da sua concentração, na sua in-visualidade; este fator é inteiramente participativo numa subjacência sombria, no ganho do seu potencial de transcendência. Atinge-se o apogeu do hieratismo artístico quando essa transcendência se articula numa alteridade em duas vias, entre desenho e fruidor. Este caminho do desenho é um caminho para a sua verdade, onde está a sua sombra própria, interna, o que confirma a sua autonomia e também a sua existência como arte, mas essa sombra é também o que provém de ausências e descai para a ausência, a caminho da morte.

O trabalho com Material Dourado exclui a discussão de que o sistema de numeração decimal é posicional? É essa pergunta que, basicamente, conduz a escrita deste artigo, em que é apresentado um estudo das apropriações acerca de orientações que Maria Montessori colocou em circulação nas suas obras e as ideias apresentadas pelos autores do artigo “Cartão amarelo para o material dourado”, publicado na revista Nova Escola em 2016. Assim, neste trabalho apresenta-se um ponto de vista acerca dos usos do Material Dourado para o ensino de Matemática por meio da História da Educação Matemática. Como resultado foi possível destacar aspectos das propostas de Montessori que circundam o uso do material em discussão e que mostram as opções, os argumentos e as soluções apresentadas pela autora em relação às limitações do material, limitações essas também destacadas em discursos da atualidade como os revelados no artigo citado.
Design of cylindrical steel liquid tanks with stepped walls using One-foot method
Authors: Zeybek Özer
Published: December 2021

Cylindrical steel tanks are used in most countries to store bulk volumes of both solid and liquid products such as water, oil, gasoline and grain. Such steel tanks are prone to buckling when subjected to external pressure either due to vacuum or due to wind. These types of shell structures are generally controlled by elastic buckling failure because of the thin wall thickness. Cylindrical shells are commonly constructed with stepwise variable wall thickness due to economic reasons. The thickness of the tank shell wall is designed to increase from top to bottom because the stress resultants on the tank wall gradually increase towards the base of the tank. For open-top tanks, a primary stiffening ring is required at or near the top to maintain roundness under all loads. Stress resultants in a primary stiffening ring were previously identified by the Author for uniform wall thick tanks. In this new study, the applicability of this hand calculation method in stepped wall tanks has been investigated. Pursuant to this goal, a specified tank shell was designed considering One-foot method. Then, the stepped wall tank was transformed into an equivalent 1-course tank for hand calculation. Using the previously developed hand calculation method by Author, a test for the in-plane bending moment in the ring was conducted to achieve an acceptable value for stepped wall tanks. The analysis results show that the previously proposed method for uniform wall thick tanks may also be used for stepped wall tanks considering an equivalent thickness. On the other hand, using Linear Buckling Analysis (LBA), the buckling mode was obtained for two different stepped wall tanks in the study.
Optimization of cylindrical wall domes via metaheuristic algorithms
Authors: Kayabekir Aylin Ece
Published: December 2021

Optimization is a widely used phenomenon in various problems and fields. Because time and resources are very limited in today's world, it can be said that the usage area of the optimization process will be expanded and spread in all areas of life. Although different methods are used in the realization of the optimization process, the performance of metaheuristic algorithms in solving problems has led to an increase in research on these methods. As in other fields, the application examples of these algorithms are diversifying and increasing in the field of structural engineering. In this study, the performance comparison of five different algorithms for the optimum design of an axisymmetric cylindrical wall with a dome is investigated. These algorithms are Jaya (JA), Flower pollination (FPA), teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithms and two hybrid versions of these algorithms. ACI 318 regulation was used in reinforced concrete design with a flexibility method-based approach in the analyses. In the analyzes with five different situations of the wall height, some statistical values , and data of analysis numbers were obtained by running the algorithms a large number of times. According to the analysis results, Jaya algorithm is slightly better in terms of the speed of reaching the optimum result, but also all algorithms are quite effective and reliable in solving the problem.

Hrvatska u tom pogledu nije iznimka s obzirom na to da više zemalja u regiji i šire dijeli isto obilježje geografskog grupiranja različitih vrsta političkih identiteta. koji bi dugoročni faktori mogli objasniti taj prostorni raspored, podjelu zemlje na "crvenu" i "crnu" Hrvatsku? Ovaj rad koristi kvantitativnu analizu podataka na razini geografski definiranih jedinica kako bi istražio efekt triju grupa faktora: (1) razvojnog naslijeđa socijalističke Jugoslavije kakvo je ono bilo u trenutku raspada te države, (2) dubokih strukturnih, ekonomskih i demografskih promjena koje su se dogodile od kraja socijalističke Jugoslavije do danas i (3) dugoročnog naslijeđa Drugog svjetskog rata (1941-1945) i Domovinskog rata (1991-1995).
What is Wrong with Populism?
Authors: Kulenović Enes
Published: December 2021

The main goal of this article is to explore the relationship between populism and representative democracy. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, the paper offers a detailed analysis of the three criticisms of populism and the implications these criticisms have on our understanding of representative democracy. First, it addresses the argument that populism inevitably relies on demagogy and it examines the inference this argument has on the concept of political representation in democracy. Second, it discusses the claim that populism relies on the oversimplification of political issues and what this claim reveals about the democratic ideal of the informed and politically responsible voter. The third criticism deals with the anti-pluralist character of populist politics, which, the paper argues, can also be extended to the concept of popular sovereignty itself. In the second part, the article looks more closely at the relationship between populism and representative democracy. Relying on the insights from the first part, it examines different institutional restraints on the will of the majority and how populism redefines these restraints as anti-democratic and elitist barriers to popular will. Finally, the paper questions the prevailing view that sees populism as a phenomenon arising from the tension between liberal and democratic principles within representative democracy and offers an alternative framework for understanding the relationship between populism and democracy.
Some mathematical questions of plasma ionization
Authors: Gavrikov Mikhail Borisovich , Tayurskiy Aleksei Aleksandrovich
Published: December 2021

A number of mathematical problems of the theory of ionization in relation to processes in stationary plasma thrusters (SPT) are solved in this work. Two main one-dimensional mathematical models of ionization are considered – hydrodynamic and kinetic. The main question is the existence of ionization oscillations (breathing modes). On the basis of a hydrodynamic model, a boundary value problem for stationary ionization equations is solved. Its unique solvability and the absence of breathing modes are proved. In the case when the ion velocity in the flow region has a single zero with a positive derivative, it is proved that the stationary boundary value problem has a countable number of solutions, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of breathing modes is formulated. Finally, an analytical solution of the ionization equations is given in the case of constant velocities of atoms and ions, and the formulas obtained are applied to the solution of the Cauchy problem, boundary value and mixed problems in the simplest regions. In the case of the kinetic model of ionization, the existence of breathing modes is numerically shown and the results obtained are compared with the hydrodynamic case.
Kata Budaya sebagai Identitas Nigeria dalam Novel ‘Amāliqat al-Shimāl Karya Najīb al-Kīlānī
Authors: Binta Silmi Malina
Published: December 2021

The word culture is a word that contains solid cultural elements of a particular group or area. This word cannot be understood directly without any knowledge or explanation. This study includes an analysis of the word culture with the material object of the historical novel ‘Amāliqat al-Shimāl by Najīb al-Kīlānī. The word culture contained in the novel was collected, then included in each category based on the division of the cultural elements of Peter Newmark. The method used is descriptive qualitative by presenting the data in the analysis. The cultural words analyzed are given a general and concise explanation accompanied by pictures. This study aims to understand the novel’s content and strengthen the word culture, which is found as the Nigerian identity, which is the background of the events in the novel. The study results found 21 cultural words that have an identical effect on Nigeria. The cultural words are detailed in several subcategories, including one animal name, one plant name and eight place names in the ecological culture category, one name for traditional clothing in the material culture category, five names of state figures in social culture, and two names of beliefs, and three names of ethnic groups in the variety of social organization cultures.
'I Hear You': Effects of Voice Communication on the Social Capital of Gamers
Authors: Ghețău Cosmin , Iovu Mihai Bogdan
Published: December 2021

In the present paper we approached bonding and bridging social capital among gamers (seen as individuals who spend at least an hour a day in games) who use (or don’t use) voice communication while playing. Suspecting that voice communication usage facilitates the social capital formation. We also investigated the role of perceived anonymity as a confounding variable. To test our hypothesis, a quantitative research was carried out. The study focuses on the subsequent elements: voice application usage; perceived anonymity; and the presence of the following forms of social capital: bonding social capital and bridging social capital. Data collection was based on surveys spread in the online environment and resulted in a sample of 102 respondents. Based on quasi-experimental design we obtained data that display higher mean scores on bonding and bridging social capital scales on the experiment group (voice communication users) than in control group (non-voice communication users). Also, control group have a lower score on the perceived anonymity scale. One explanation for our results could be that voice communication reduces perceived anonymity and individuals that consider themselves as having a low level of anonymity engage in more controlled behaviors that in turn facilitate the formation of social capital.
What Globalization for the Many?
Authors: Ciocea Mălina
Published: December 2021

Development “is a way of getting acquainted with ourselves” (Dobrescu, 2020, p. 9). Starting with The Century of the Emerging World (2013) and continuing with No Project Country (2019), Paul Dobrescu explores Romania’s recent history of development, in an attempt to understand what future is envisaged by current economic policies. As usual, the conclusions of the analysis are an elegy. Development was not a real priority during transition in Romania, but a rhetoric. “We had lived a time of development without freedom and we inaugurated a time of freedom without development” (p. 167). That is not to say that Paul Dobrescu’s newest book is a disheartening read. On the contrary, it invites meditation on the fate of countries and puts their development into a global perspective which, in rationalizing historical trends, provides a well-grounded explanation for contemporary developments, while giving hope for a more equitable future. If anything, Paul Dobrescu’s books are deeply humanistic (in a way globalization itself, his arch-theme spanning more than 20 years, is supposed to be) and serve as a reminder of the fate of the many.
Reply to reviewers of 'Dragonii dezvoltării: Revine istoria pe supercontinentul euroasiatic?'
Authors: Dobrescu Paul

The common denominator of some of the questions and problems raised by the reviewers is represented by the new technological revolution, the role of AI in this revolution, and their impact on the world today. No one doubts the fact that we are living the greatest transformation of the information environment since Gutenberg’s printing press. Nevertheless, as John Naughton emphasized, “we’re as clueless about where it’s heading and what’s driving it as the citizens of Mainz were in 1495” (Naughton, 2019). Four centuries have passed since then; during this time, the printing press shaped society and thinking, introduced new forms of communication, occasioned a massive improvement in the general population’s level of education, made public schools and the mass dissemination of knowledge possible. It radically influenced everything. Now, we are at the dawn of a new era, one which will lead to least as many transformations as print did.

The presence of Islamic insurance is an alternative, in order to avoid conventional insurance which is considered to have elements of usury, maytsir, gharar and zholim. In the era of economic disruption, Islamic insurance players and customers are waiting for the direction of strategic policies from the government as regulator and facilitator. The formulation of a sharia insurance development strategy policy begins with analyzing the obstacles to developing sharia insurance in Indonesia. These constraints mean that the number of sharia insurance customers in Indonesia is not maximal. These obstacles include the lack of socialization and promotion, inadequate use of technology, lack of product and service development, lack of knowledge, and the existence of conventional insurance. Based on these constraints, strategies for developing sharia insurance in Indonesia that can be carried out include maximizing socialization and promotion, maximizing the use of technology, developing products and services, increasing literacy, and market penetration. This research is aimed at analyzing the constraints and development strategies of Islamic insurance using a mathematical method, namely the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method, so that policy recommendations are supported by scientific studies. Furthermore, in this study the ANP method was adopted in a survey design involving a number of respondents. The heterogeneity of the assessments of a number of respondents is expected to provide a more rational alternative. The results of the analysis using the ANP method are priority constraints in order to get more attention and priority strategies that can be used to formulate policies to make them more focused.

This research aims to understand the relationship between socioeconomic factors, production, transparency with religiosity. The effects of socio-economic factors, production, transparency, and religiosity on the sharecropping contract system. Design/methodology/approach: The author has administered a survey to 800 respondents. The respondents were asked to give their responses based on a five-point Likert scale. The data has been tested with SEM to show the relationship between the various factors. Finding: SEM results show that H1 is not supported while H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, and H7 are supported. Findings show that religiosity impacts the sharecropping system while the interaction between religiosity and transparency on the sharecropping system is significantly negative. Therefore, the current sharecropping contract system in East Java does not operate following Islamic values.
