The past and future of “sex genes”
Authors: Rehmann-Sutter Christoph , Hornig Nadine , Stammberger Birgit , Stoff Heiko
Published: August 2023

Much later than the discovery of “sex chromosomes” and of “sex hormones”, genetics started delivering detailed explanations of sex-determining developmental pathways. Despite increasing knowledge of biological processes, concepts and theories about sex development are never based on facts alone. There are inevitable entanglements of biological description and changing cultural assumptions and they play a key role in how sex genes are framed and interpreted in biological research. In this review article we first focus on the early 20th century biology that worked in a hormone-based paradigm. Genetic explanations emerged later, first on the basis of sex chromosomes; starting in the 1980s, on the basis of genes. We highlight orthodox views of female development, which saw the default pathway of human sex development. We will show how recent findings in biology challenge it. The article discusses the interactions of causal claims in science with cultural assumption about gender and outlines three influential strands of critical feminist philosophy of science: the critique of genetic determinism and genetic essentialism, of dualist assumptions, and of an androcentric bias in the conception of research strategies. In the final section we suggest key agenda points of future genetic research on sex determination.

Published: August 2023

Internet of Things (IoT) is a physical network of physical devices, such as widgets, structures, and other objects, which can store program, sensors, actuators, and screen configurations to allow the objects to assemble, control, display, and exchange data. The aim of this research was to develop an autonomous system with automated navigation. Using this approach, we are able to make use of deep neural networks for automatic navigation as well as the identification of pot holes and road conditions. Additionally, it displays potholes in traffic and the correct lane on the screen. The system stresses how important it is to select the path from one node to the next.
Real but unrealised: object transformations and political economy in East and southern Africa, AD 750–1250
Authors: Moffett Abigail , Walz Jonathan R.
Published: August 2023

Archaeologists of East and southern Africa have long been attracted to large urban centres, such as those on the Swahili coast, and to the circulation of imported goods. Here, the authors aim to refocus attention on the diversity of objects that were produced and transformed by the inland societies of East and southern Africa during the Middle Iron Age (AD 750–1250). Recognition of the remaking, bundling and repurposing of small, portable objects emphasises the innovative practices that helped to bestow power on their makers. A socially embedded approach to studying objects and practices re-presents African communities as innovators and active transformers of non-local objects, and facilitates new narratives about the political economy of Africa at that time.
EXPLORING THE ROLE OF JOB RESOURCES IN THE WELL-BEING OF WOMEN ACADEMICS IN THE WORKPLACE
Authors: Maboeta Bonita , van Schalkwyk Izanette , Bloem Retha
Published: August 2023

Despite several changes in the workplace, women still face unique challenges with harmful effects on their well-being. Job resources are a crucial buffer between job demands and workplace well-being. The aim of this article is to present the findings of a qualitative study on women academics’ experiences of workplace well-being in relation to job resources. An exploratory and descriptive research design was used to investigate in what ways job resources contribute to women academics’ perceptions of workplace well-being. Purposive sampling was conducted at a top-rated university in South Africa. Data were gathered through twelve semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed that women academics value a variety of job resources associated with psychological, social, physical, and organisational resources. The study also revealed the inherent job resources creating strains on women’s well-being in the workplace. It is recommended that higher education institutions focus on workplace well-being from a practice, organisational, and policy perspective. Keywords: conservation of resources, job demands-resources model, strengths perspective, South Africa, job resources, well-being, women in academia
Colliding Identities and the Act of Creating Spaces of Belonging in the Occupational Therapy Profession
Authors: Reid Holly , Pride Tara
Published: August 2023

Introduction. Despite numerous initiatives to recruit a more diverse health professional workforce, those entering the health professions from marginalized groups experience significant barriers to inclusion. The occupational therapy (OT) profession is no exception. The profession, despite language of inclusion, is heavily influenced by colonialism and ableism, and positions itself largely under a Western world view. Literature points to OT students and clinicians from marginalized groups experiencing discrimination and racism, alienation, and internal conflicts between their own sense of identity and that which is expected in the OT profession. Lack of belonging can be a major barrier to success and fulfillment for those wishing to enter the profession. Objective. To highlight the invisible work done by those from marginalized groups to create spaces of belonging in the OT profession, through telling personal stories. Key Issues. Feelings of personal and professional belonging deeply impact the ways diverse OT students and clinicians engage meaningfully with themselves and their communities. Given the profession is currently aiming to identify its largely uninterrogated Western underpinnings, we must listen and learn from and with those from marginalized groups to create systemic, meaningful change. Implications. Creating community and supports within the profession in the context of a marginalized identity takes a significant amount of time and robust mentorship. We must begin to highlight this additional “invisible” work to create systemic changes and solutions and ease the burden for diverse peoples entering the profession.
Ethical Considerations in Population Health Research With Vulnerable Communities and the Added Value of Community-Engaged Methodology
Authors: Tuggle Alexandra Christianne , Crews Douglas E.
Published: August 2023

Working among vulnerable communities poses unique ethical challenges when conducting biocultural research. When communities face dire poverty and social injustice, simply observing and documenting stressors and related health outcomes may be considered exploitative by vulnerable and already overburdened residents. As biocultural researchers, our responsibility is to work toward solutions addressing differential impacts of social injustice. Here, we highlight work amongst the Comcaac, an indigenous group native to Sonora, Mexico. Today, they experience significant resource insecurity secondary to historical marginalization and structural violence. Employing ethnographic methods (participant observation, focus groups, unstructured and semi-structured interviews), we investigated social and ecological stressors likely affecting members’ health. First, we determined visible themes encompassing resource insecurity (e.g., water, food, power, medicine etc.) and struggles with poverty, racism, and associated feelings of injustice. Through deep engagement, we also discerned community members’ frustrations with what they see as exploitative research – obtaining information but failing to work actively toward solutions or remain invested in participants’ well-being. To begin addressing their most severe issues, we first documented substantial needs within the community, then obtained outside donors and organized a weekly food bank delivery of fresh foods. Now, these are distributed weekly by community leaders in culturally appropriate and locally embedded ways. Thereby, we were able to address an immediate need in a manner that will have continuing impact even while not actively conducting fieldwork. To have real meaning for our research communities, as biocultural researchers we must create ethically based long-term relationships to develop meaningful scholarship.
The Long Story of an Indigenous Health Research Project
Authors: Sullivan Patrick , McIlduff Cari
Published: August 2023

Indigenous health inequities represent a significant challenge for health research and programming. The research seeking to address these inequities also faces significant challenges. To guide researchers through these challenges, several resources exist. That said, the real world of Indigenous research is complex and contains much that, experience suggests, is not accounted for by existing resources. Therefore, this article tells the full and honest story of conducting research within largely Western systems the barriers they present to Indigenous community-based health research that respects self-determination and culture. When relevant to discussion, examples will be provided from a recently completed COVID-19 vaccine promotion research project. In telling this story, many questions are posed, some of these are tentatively answered, and many are left for contemplation and future work. When answers are provided, they often stem from personal experience, and so, conclusions should be approached cautiously. Regardless, prioritizing respectful and authentic relationships appears to be a universal compass that can guide researchers to the good way. Still, more consistent and honest reporting of barriers, failures, and opportunities may be needed to truly reflect the challenging realities of ethical Indigenous research.
Exploring Collaborative Approaches to Indigenous Science Outreach Programs on Turtle Island: A Scoping Review
Authors: Purdy Chelsey , Churchill Megan , Braddon Kate , Sylliboy Ann , Franz-Odendaal Tamara , Paul Velvet , Marshall Albert , Grant Shannan
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Past and recent calls to action (e.g., Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, 2015) call for inclusion of Indigenous Peoples, including residential school Survivors, in all stages/phases of program development and education. Objective(s): This scoping review identifies and maps the extent (i.e., level) of collaboration reported in published accounts of science outreach programming targeting Indigenous youth on Turtle Island (North America) between 2010 and 2022. Additionally, this review lists and describes program evaluation methods reported. Methods: Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) scoping review methodology was applied. Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Education Research Complete (ERC), Academic Search Premier (EBSCO), CBCA Complete (ProQuest), SocINDEX (EBSCO), Google Scholar, and Google were searched for science outreach programs targeting Indigenous youth on Turtle Island between 2010 and 2022. Each program’s process and methods were identified. A scoring schema was developed in collaboration with community members to map these data by extent of community collaboration (three categories; 0 = none, 1 = some, 2 = full). Results: In total, 20 programs were identified, and 12 (n = 12/20) programs met criteria for full collaboration during program development and implementation, while eight (n = 8/20) did not. Of the 12 programs, six (n = 6/20) programs reported collaborative evaluation. Diverse evaluation methods were reported and are described. Moreover, 15 (n = 15/20) programs were identified as taking place post 2015, with four (n = 4/15) being Canadian programs. Conclusions: A total of 20 STEM programs targeting Indigenous youth on Turtle Island were identified in this review. Although 60% of the programs reported collaboration during development and implementation of programming, only 30% collaborated with community during program evaluation. These findings are supportive of the need for ongoing education and research on collaboration with Indigenous communities at all stages of intervention/program development.
Book Review: Fiddler Joe Marble Plays to St. Anne: A Etuaptmumk/Two-Eyed Seeing Pilgrimage by Elder John R. Prosper and Settler Dorothy A. Lander
Authors: Pride Tara , Stilwell Christie , Gloade Katie
Published: August 2023

While documenting significant Mi’kmaw and settler histories in northeastern Mi’kmaki/Nova Scotia, authors John R. and Dorothy came upon serendipitous signs signalling a much greater mission and opportunity for strengthening Indigenous-settler relationships and spiritual reflection through the lens of St. Anne. Etuaptmumk is the Mi’kmaw word for “multiple perspectives” and asks that we consider, and equally value the strengths of multiple perspectives and ways of knowing. John R. and Dorothy had indeed been guiding their work together through Etuaptmumk from the outset. As researchers who engage in Etuaptmumk in our work, this book proved helpful in guiding our own conversations on ways to strengthen Indigenous-settler relationships and what that looks like “in the real world.”
Leveraging Exercise is Medicine On Campus Programs to Promote Activity to Equity-Deserving Groups

Published: August 2023

Despite the well-known benefits of leading an active lifestyle, global adherence to physical activity recommendations is low. Individuals who are from marginalized groups, including racialized populations and those with a low socio-economic status, are more physically inactive compared to those who identify as white or who have a higher income. The differences in physical activity level by socio-demographic characteristics reflect inequitable access to lifestyle resources. Exercise is Medicine On Campus (EIM-OC) is a unique international post-secondary initiative that aims to promote a culture of physical activity and chronic disease prevention and management on university/college campuses and within their local communities. EIM-OC programs currently exist on every continent, with the majority of chapters existing in North America. This provides EIM-OC a unique opportunity to address inequities in physical activity promotion. This commentary provides perspective on traditional EIM-OC program offerings, highlights learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic, and recommends strategies to increase the inclusivity of future physical activity programming.
Measurement and Design in Surveys of Teachers’ Mental Health Literacy: A Scoping Review
Authors: Gilham Chris , Hill Taylor G , Coughlan Emma C , Page Damian , Vukosa Chloe , Spridgeon Alyssa , Wilkie Peter , Przewieda Kristie
Published: August 2023

Mental health literacy (MHL) was introduced four decades ago as a term referring to knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders that aid in their recognition, management, or prevention. This scoping review mapped the peer-reviewed literature to understand how MHL is defined, conceptualized, and measured in studies involving those becoming teachers (pre-service teachers) and working teachers (in-service teachers). The search was performed following the method for scoping reviews by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Searches were conducted in four scientific databases with no time limit, although all sources had to be written in English or French. Primary studies (N = 35) that measured MHL for pre- and in-service teachers provided a global snapshot of MHL conceptualization and measurement across five continents. Global conceptualizations of MHL were largely driven by the definition and measures developed by Jorm, though the definition by Kutcher et al. was used in one fourth of the papers. Few studies explicitly stated a theoretical framework. Most studies used closed-ended scales, or a combination of closed-ended scales and vignettes to measure MHL. From a closer examination of the results, Canada emerged as a major leader in teacher MHL. Future research in this area should aim to include vignette measures, especially for pre-service teachers, and explicit theoretical frameworks, including socio-ecological and social or structural determinants of health-related frameworks that take an intersectional approach to MHL.
The Commercial Determinants of Health, edited by Nason Maani, Mark Petticrew, and Sandro Galea
Authors: Machat Steve
Published: August 2023

The recently published book, The Commercial Determinants of Health, provides an overview of the current debates surrounding how commercial actors influence population health. The term commercial determinants of health, while relatively new, offers an important conceptual framework to more fully understand the factors that impact health. The book also provides an opportunity to elaborate on the possibilities to build healthy public policy and enrich our scholarly and teaching activities within schools of public health and the social science faculties.
“How terrible everything is!” The idea of reincarnation in N. Gumilyov’s and A. Blok’s literary interpretation
Authors: Malykh Viacheslav
Published: August 2023

The idea of Reincarnation is analyzed as a core motive, by the example of which the similarities and differences of poetic universes of Blok and Gumilyov are interpreted. Gumilyov’s opposition to Blok can be characterized as “fear of influence”, since a lot of Gumilyov’s themes, externally opposed to Blok, turn out to be internally connected with the work of the latter, and even in Gumilyov’s later works reminiscences from Blok’s poetry could be found. These reminiscences are placed in a new context and thus they acquired a different meaning. Blok represents the idea of reincarnation in a pessimistic vein, intertwining with elements of Christian eschatology, Platonism and the teaching of Vl. Solovyov. Blok’s heroes are immersed in the “elements” of time and space, they experience influences from multiple worlds and do not have the ability and desire to escape from the infinity of rebirths. Blok’s and Gumilyov’s initial understanding of metempsychosis and anamnesis reveals striking similarities. Like Blok’s hero, Gumilyov’s hero “wanders” “in the blind transitions of spaces and times”. Even Gumilyov’s understanding of the metaphysics of history is close to Blok. The difference between two poets is the hero’s attitude to the tragedy of eternal repetitions. In accordance with “manly” attitude, Gumilyov’s hero promotes an active attitude to his own destiny and hopes for a final “awakening”, which is a way out of the circle of reincarnations. Combining themes of metempsychosis and anamnesis with Christian motives, Gumilev, unlike Blok, gradually strengthens the latter, introducing into his texts the Christian concept of the Resurrection from the dead, which contradicts with the doctrine of reincarnation. Gumilyov’s reflections on metempsychosis and Resurrection lead to the religious and philosophical dialogism of his later works such as “The Lost Tram” and “The Memory”. In both texts, the apocalyptic image of Christ is encrypted, and this image is opposed to “Isus” from Blok’s poem “The Twelve”. The strengthening of Christian motives in Gumilyov’s work also leads to a disagreement with Blok in understanding of the Platonic dual world, which was transformed by Blok into the concept of multiple “worlds of art”; Gumilyov, on the other hand, reinterprets the dual world in the context of the doctrine of “two cities”, so at the end of his career Gumilyov gives preference to the Christian mystical tradition.

Interdisciplinary model of behavioural choice and tools for the prevention of delinquency after the war (archetypal approach)
Authors: Plakhtiy T. O.
Published: August 2023

The article presents an interdisciplinary model of behavioural choice developed by the author. This model serves as a framework for analyzing the mechanisms of behavioural choice, based on which the author concludes that the archetypal approach makes it possible to use and bring together socio-psychological and biological approaches when examining the influence of various external environment factors on an individual’s behavioural choice. In particular, the mechanisms of the emergence and spread of individuals’ delinquent behaviour in a crisis are discussed. It is assumed that the social psyche, which is inert in normal conditions and resistant to changes, becomes more plastic in critical conditions with high uncertainty. This facilitates adaptating the social system to new conditions due to normalising individuals’ new – successful behaviour, which is formed based on new – operatively changed social attitudes, values, beliefs, and norms. Thus, manifestations of delinquency in wartime and after wars might be seen as a by-product of the social system’s natural desire for stability in the new external conditions. Hence, the prevention of delinquency serves to normalize the behaviour of individuals to return to pre-crisis conditions, and at the same time as contributes to promoting adaptation to new conditions of life. The conclusion is that to overcome the destructive consequences of war, the social structure should be improved and renewed to produce a new social environment that could harmoniously change the behaviour of individuals per the acquired social attitudes, values, beliefs, and norms that determine it. Based on the results of the analysis of the developed model and the identified mechanisms of influencing behavioural choices, approaches to the selection of practical tools for the prevention of delinquency in post-war times are suggested (i.e., collective events involving representatives of the target audience) and methods of organizing their collective activities is proposed. It is assumed that further research can be aimed at verifying the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed measures in real-life conditions to improve the methodology of their use and develop criteria and methods for evaluating the obtained results.
State-Level Anti-Immigrant Sentiment and Policies and Health Risks in US Latino Children
Authors: Slopen Natalie , Umaña-Taylor Adriana J. , Shonkoff Jack P. , Carle Adam C. , Hatzenbuehler Mark L.
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Although systemic inequities, broadly defined, are associated with health disparities in adults, there is a dearth of research linking contextual measures of exclusionary policies or prejudicial attitudes to health impairments in children, particularly among Latino populations. In this study, we examined a composite measure of systemic inequities in relation to the cooccurrence of multiple health problems in Latino children in the United States.

METHODS

Participants included 17 855 Latino children aged 3 to 17 years from the National Survey of Children’s Health (2016–2020). We measured state-level systemic inequities using a factor score that combined an index of exclusionary state policies toward immigrants and aggregated survey data on prejudicial attitudes toward immigrants and Latino individuals. Caregivers reported on 3 categories of child health problems: common health difficulties in the past year, current chronic physical health conditions, and current mental health conditions. For each category, we constructed a variable reflecting 0, 1, or 2 or more conditions.

RESULTS

In models adjusted for sociodemographic covariates, interpersonal discrimination, and state-level income inequality, systemic inequities were associated with 1.13 times the odds of a chronic physical health condition (95% confidence interval: 1.02–1.25) and 1.24 times the odds of 2 or more mental health conditions (95% confidence interval: 1.06–1.45).

CONCLUSIONS

Latino children residing in states with higher levels of systemic inequity are more likely to experience mental health or chronic physical health conditions relative to those in states with lower levels of systemic inequity.

ao chegar a casa após o trabalho, a reunião, as buzinas e os en-garrafamentos, você deseja escrever um conto texto1. Dentro de você, há uma voz que pede, seduz – clama! – que você se sente à mesa, ou no sofá, pegue o primeiro objeto apto para escrever (caneta, lápis, celular ou computador) e ponha-se em ação: Escreva! Se houver barulho na sala, peça para desligarem o rádio, diminuírem o volume do computador. Diga: “Estou escrevendo!”. Se não adiantar, grite. Esperamos que te entendam e de repente cessem esses ruídos perturbadores. Mas cuidado: há sempre um vizinho fazendo reforma em horários inconvenientes ou alguma música de péssimo gosto cujas batidas repercutem na tua sala, fazem tremular as janelas, interrom-pendo o contato com aquela voz que impele a escrever. Talvez seja necessário buscar um lugar onde seja possível ficar isolado, quietinho num canto, um desses lugares nos quais a voz que te motiva a escrever possa ressoar e percorrer o caminho da sensação ao pensamento, do pensamento à palavra, das tuas vísceras ao papel.

ARTE E PSICANÁLISE: A PARTILHA DAS NARRATIVAS MEMORIALÍSTICAS ENTRE A CLÍNICA, A ESTÉTICA E A POLÍTICA
Authors: Lessa Malta Amanda , Máris Campos Guerra Andréa , de Oliveira Moreira Jacqueline
Published: August 2023

À pesquisa psicanalítica de fenômenos sociais caberá o desafio de se haver com o real fora da experiência do tratamento analítico, abordando o sujeito enredado aos fenômenos sociais e políticos e considerando os discursos de ordem e poder que envolvem seus atos, escolhas e violências sofridas. Como nos relembra Pinto (2009), a aposta da psicanálise é “proporcionar que cada sujeito construa um modo próprio de lidar com os impasses impostos pela formação discursiva daquele momento da civilização” (p. 4), permitindo-o deslocar-se e interrogar as posições de gozo, controle e repressão que marcam uma existência.
The functions of toponyms in the works by K. F. Zhakov
Authors: Lisovskaya Galina K. , Tsypanov Evgeny A.
Published: August 2023

Introduction. In Finno-Ugric studies, as well as in Komi linguistics, the language of fiction is insufficiently studied, including the functions of toponyms in prose. At the beginning of the XX century in Russia, the writer Kallistrat Falaleevich Zhakov was widely known. At the same time, he also studied Komi and Finno-Ugric linguistics. The onomastic material of the works by K. F. Zhakov has not yet attracted the attention of researchers of his works, although toponymic vocabulary plays a special role in the artistic picture of the writer’s world.
Materials and Methods. The research is based on the books by K. F. Zhakov “To the North, in search of Pam Bur-Mort” and “Through the system of life”. When writing the article, traditional methods of linguistic research, used in the analysis of toponyms, were applied: descriptive, comparative-historical, semantic, etc.
Results and Discussion. The research value of the works is based on the fact that the geographical names of K. F. Zhakov artistic and semantic meaning of the connection with the past and eternal, present and future spiritual space of the North. The geographical environment determines the entire structure and storylines of the books. The action in them directly depends on the spatial movements of the hero, and the toponyms form the core of travel. The works can be considered as a single autobiographical text. “To the North, in search of Pam Bur-Mort” and “Through the system of life” are the books of wanderings. The main rhythm of the story is created by geographical names. The article presents oikonyms, oronyms and hydronyms from two works of the writer.
Conclusion. In the texts of two works of fiction by K. F. Zhakov analyzed in this paper, real toponyms perform two main functions: informative and artistic-symbolic.
Nicknames as one of the main ways of designating people in Erzya Mordovians (on the example of residents of the village of Staraya Shentala of the Shentalinsky district of the Samara region)
Authors: Loginova Elena Iu.
Published: August 2023

Introduction. For the rural population it is characteristic that many members are given not only codified nominations, but also all kinds of nicknames. Rural Erzya population is not an exception in this regard. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe the national and cultural identity of the semantics of the nicknames in the Erzya language. It considers the communicative aspect referring to the way their function in the village of Staraya Shentala, Shentalinsky district of the Samara region.
Materials and Methods. The main research method is descriptive-analytical. The paper describes some typological features of modern Erzya nicknames, gives their classification based on motivational signs of appearance. The nicknames were collected using questionnaires and observation.
Results and Discussion. The study revealed the reasons for the use of nicknames, among which is tribute to historical tradition, the need for a more accurate designation of a person in the case when the names and surnames of fellow villagers coincide, creative potential of a linguistic communicating personality. The Erzya nicknames help characterize the objects of speech from different sides. The main motivation behind engineering the nicknames is the names, surnames, appearance, character, features in persons’ behavior, speech, habits, favorite activities, distinctive skills, similarity with the characters of literature, movie characters, artists, origin, facts of biography, intellectual abilities, relation to other persons. In addition to individual nicknames, group (collective) nicknames are also used in the village of Staraya Shentala.
Conclusion. Currently, a nickname as a type of nomination has lost its position in reference to the past. If modern nicknames appear, they no longer contain any national features. Such research is necessary as an opportunity to preserve such an layer of vocabulary which is interesting and important from historical, cultural and linguistic points of view.
100 years of Mari fine art: national neo-romanticism (1960–1980s)
Authors: Kolcheva Elvira M.
Published: August 2023

Introduction. This article continues a series of publications dedicated to the 100th year of the Mari fine arts. National neo-romanticism appeared at the late Soviet stage. It is important to clearly identify it and to determine itы place in the process under study.
Materials and Methods. The research methods are based on the author’s cultural and archetypal approach. The items of art, archival documents, media publications, catalogs were provided by the museums of the Republic of Mari El.
Results and Discussion. Culture of the late Soviet period, as a background of national neo-romanticism, is characterized by an anthropological change, a demand for sincerity and expression of individuality. Within its framework, unofficial art, various forms of artistic escapism arose. The ethnical theme brought the main artistic innovations into the ‘severe style’ of the Mari Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic’s art. Visiting Russian artists, A. S. and B. S. Pushkovs, S. F. Podmarev, A. I. Butov, introduced the concept of “Mari El” into the artistic vocabulary of the Republic, created the iconographic type based on the traditional Birch and Woman archetypes, thereby contributed to the development of the new cultural archetype. National neo-romanticism emerged from the ‘severe style’ and simultaneously formed. Its essence is the poetization of the native culture. Z. F. Lavrentyev implemented it, first, through book graphics to be one of the determinants of ethnocultural reflection. A special role in the development of national neo-romanticism was played by young Mari artists N. V. Toktaulov, I. V. Efimov, I. M. Yamberdov.
Conclusion. National neo-romanticism (1970–1980s) is a stage in the development of the Mari national fine arts originated within socialist realism (1940–1980s). But it goes beyond it due to the representations of the essential issues and approaching the archetypal principles of ethnoculture.

Apesar do crescente avanço verificado nos últimos anos, poucas são as pesquisas sobre inclusão escolar realizadas a partir das narrativas dos sujeitos. Nessa perspectiva, o presente artigo, baseado em um trabalho de conclusão de curso de uma Formação Pedagógica para Graduados não Licenciados, apresenta uma investigação com um estudante surdo de um curso técnico subsequente em Mecânica, em uma instituição federal de ensino. Utilizando a pesquisa narrativa, buscou-se analisar as experiências deste estudante, com o propósito de identificar e discutir aspectos positivos e eventuais lacunas na política de inclusão adotada no curso e na instituição. As narrativas foram compiladas em três grandes grupos: ensino remoto, metodologias/avaliações e instituição de ensino. A análise destas narrativas evidenciou que, embora existam alguns pontos de atenção a serem considerados, o estudante possui um sentimento de pertencimento à instituição, reconhecendo os esforços realizados para materializar o processo de inclusão.
Outlook on texture evolution in additively manufactured stainless steels: Prospects for hydrogen embrittlement resistance, overview of mechanical, and solidification behavior
Authors: Thapliyal Saket , Cheng Jiahao , Mayeur Jason , Yamamoto Yukinori , Fernandez-Zelaia Patxi , Nycz Andrzej , Kirka Michael M.
Published: August 2023

Realizing application specific manufacture with fusion-based additive manufacturing (F-BAM) processes requires understanding of the physical phenomena that drive evolution of microstructural attributes, such as texture. Current approaches for understanding texture evolution in F-BAM are majorly considerate of the phenomena occurring only during solidification. This hinders the comprehensive understanding and control of texture during F-BAM. In this perspective article, we discuss several physical phenomena occurring during and after solidification that can determine texture in F-BAM processed stainless steels (SS). A crystal plasticity-coupled hydrogen adsorption-diffusion modeling framework is also leveraged to demonstrate the prospects of grain boundary engineering with F-BAM for enhanced hydrogen embrittlement resistance of SS. Implications of varying thermokinetics in F-BAM for solidification behavior of SS are discussed. Additionally, microstructural attributes that are key to high temperature mechanical performance of SS are highlighted. Considerations as outlined in this perspective article will enable grain boundary engineering and application specific microstructural design of SS with F-BAM.

We study a nonlinear nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem with a nonsmooth potential which is superlinear but without satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Using the nonsmooth critical point theory and critical groups we prove two multiplicity theorems producing three and five solutions respectively. In the second multiplicity theorem, we provide sign information for all the solutions and the solutions are ordered.

Authors: Lu Guanghui
Published: August 2023

Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and and Weiss. In this setting, the author proves that a bilinear Calderon-Zygmund operator is bounded from the product of variable exponent Lebesgue spaces $L^{p_{1}(\cdot)}(X)\times L^{p_{2}(\cdot)}(X)$ into spaces $L^{p(\cdot)}(X)$, and it is bounded from the product of variable exponent generalized Morrey spaces $\mathcal{L}^{p_{1}(\cdot),\varphi_{1}}(X)\times \mathcal{L}^{p_{2}(\cdot),\varphi_{2}}(X)$ into spaces $\mathcal{L}^{p(\cdot),\varphi}(X)$, where the Lebesgue measure functions $\varphi(\cdot,\cdot), \varphi_{1}(\cdot,\cdot)$ and $\varphi_{2}(\cdot,\cdot)$ satisfy $\varphi_{1}\times\varphi_{2}=\varphi$, and $\frac{1}{p(\cdot)}=\frac{1}{p_{1}(\cdot)}+\frac{1}{p_{2}(\cdot)}$. Furthermore, by establishing sharp maximal estimate for the commutator $[b_{1},b_{2},BT]$ generated by $b_{1}, b_{2}\in\mathrm{BMO}(X)$ and $BT$, the author shows that the $[b_{1},b_{2},BT]$ is bounded from the product of spaces $L^{p_{1}(\cdot)}(X)\times L^{p_{2}(\cdot)}(X)$ into spaces $L^{p(\cdot)}(X)$, and it is also bounded from product of spaces $\mathcal{L}^{p_{1}(\cdot),\varphi_{1}}(X)\times \mathcal{L}^{p_{2}(\cdot),\varphi_{2}}(X)$ into spaces $L^{p(\cdot),\varphi}(X)$.

We show that all subvarieties of the variety of rectangular bands are closed in the variety of $n$-nilpotent extension of bands. Ahanger, Nabi and Shah in [1] have proved that the variety of regular bands is closed. In this paper, we improve this result and provide its simple and shorter proof. Finally, we show that all subvarieties of the variety of normal bands are closed in the variety of left [right] semiregular bands.
Intersection graphs of quasinormal subgroups of general skew linear groups

Published: August 2023

The intersection graph of quasinormal subgroups of a group $G$, denoted by $\Gamma_{\mathrm{q}}(G)$, is a graph defined as follows: the vertex set consists of all nontrivial, proper quasinormal subgroups of $G$, and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if $H\cap K$ is nontrivial. In this paper, we show that when $G$ is an arbitrary nonsimple group, the diameter of $\Gamma_{\mathrm{q}}(G)$ is in $\{0,1,2,\infty\}$. Besides, all general skew linear groups $\mathrm{GL}_n(D)$ over a division ring $D$ can be classified depending on the diameter of $\Gamma_{\mathrm{q}}(\mathrm{GL}_n(D))$.

Published: August 2023

Introduction. The scientific paper traces the modern development of Internet space, which is characterized by the fact that in most spheres of public relations this space becomes indispensable. The technology of data processing and storage based on decentralized distributed registries (blockchain) is highly effective in commercial application. Unfortunately, in the Russian Federation, the technology of decentralized distributed registries is not given enough attention. The purpose of the study is to search for legal solutions for sustainable business development, ensuring its competitiveness, where there is a need for the mandatory use of digital technologies in the activities of legal entities. The authors set a goal to consider the problems of the legal framework governing this technology, as well as the relations that arise from remote purchase and sale transactions carried out by legal entities and individuals on the Internet. Methods. The methodological framework for the study is a set of methods of scientific cognition, among which the main ones are the methods of historicism, systematicity, analysis, and comparative law. Results. Based on the accumulated law enforcement experience and civil doctrine, the authors have proposed recommendations for resolving the most common conflict of laws issues arising from the use of blockchain technology and their regulation at the national and international level. The standards of electronic payments in online commerce at the international level are considered. Conclusions. As a result of the study, the role of digitally fixing the main stages of transactions with many commodities traditionally sold on exchanges, on the blockchain platform is revealed, which ultimately contributes to increasing transparency and security of operations. In this regard, blockchain solutions are of undoubted interest to participants in transactions with classic exchange-traded goods. The authors conclude that blockchain technologies reduce transaction execution costs and risks, contribute to the emergence of new business models and increase the efficiency of transactions.
The Legal Regime of Wetlands
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Ryzhenkov Anatoly
Published: August 2023

Introduction. Wetlands are of great environmental and economic value, which determines the search for a reasonable compromise on the organization of their rational use and protection. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to analyze the current norms of international and Russian environmental law regulating the legal regime of wetlands in Russia. Methods. The methodological framework for the research is the dialectical method of scientific cognition, as well as the method of system analysis, logical, and comparative legal methods. Results. The analysis has shown the value of the eco-network approach to the rational use and protection of wetlands, laid down in the Ramsar Convention and partially reproduced in the Water Code of the Russian Federation and other legal acts. Meanwhile, some existing gaps have been identified in the legal regulation of the use and protection of swamp ecosystems, including issues of accounting and ownership of them, which require appropriate solutions. Conclusions. The full implementation of Russia’s obligations under the Ramsar Convention requires the development of programs for the use and protection of wetlands, the legislative consolidation of additional measures to account for wetlands that are not included in the Ramsar list, but require measures to preserve them. It is necessary to normalize the very concept of wetlands, as well as to expand the list of permits and prohibitions that apply to this natural complex. It is hardly advisable to include all wetlands in specially protected natural territories, therefore, further development of the regime of “semi-protected” natural territories for wetlands is necessary, in which the subjects of the Russian Federation should participate more widely.

Introduction. The growth of extremist crimes makes it necessary to increase the effectiveness of the activities of law enforcement agencies to counter this destructive phenomenon, where the leading role is assigned by the legislator to the prosecutor’s office. It is important to improve the mechanisms of interaction and consolidation of the subjects of countering extremism (for example, to modernize the plans of coordination activities of law enforcement agencies, to focus more attention on the problems of the legal regulation of crimes in the virtual space, and to implement the best foreign experience of the legislative regulation of coordination activities). The purpose of the study is to develop conceptual proposals to improve the activities of the prosecutor’s office in countering extremism. Research objectives. To characterize the current problems of countering extremist crimes; to assess the current problems of the prosecutor’s office’s activities to prevent extremist crimes; to identify the problems related to the coordination of law enforcement activities to counter extremism; and to identify promising areas for improving domestic legislation in the issues under consideration. As the methodological framework for the research, the general scientific methods were used: analysis, abstraction, and the dialectical method, as well as a set of specific scientific methods: institutional, formal legal, comparative legal, interpretative, etc. Results. The specific features of the prosecutor’s supervision over implementing legislation on countering extremist activity are described; the counter-arguments arising within the framework of countering extremism are identified and characterized; the problematic aspects of the use by the prosecutor’s office of some means of prosecutorial response in the process of implementing the legislation on countering extremism (presentation, warning) are investigated; and the mechanisms for coordinating the activities of the prosecutor’s office and other law enforcement agencies to counter extremism are described. Conclusions. The effectiveness of the activities of the prosecutor’s office in countering extremism depends on a set of the following factors: improving the mechanisms of interaction among all subjects of countering this category of crimes; the professional development of prosecutors within this activity; not formal but careful supervision of the activities of supervised and other subjects of prevention in this area; granting prosecutors additional powers to combat extremism; and the modernization of the legislative framework regulating the problematic aspects of the prevention of extremist activity.
