Fernando Pessoa: Portugal in His Heart
Authors: Martynov B. F.
Published: October 2023

The name of Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935), who is a great Portuguese poet and political journalist, unfortunately is not well known to the common Russian reader. In Portugal he became famous only after his premature death. Besides his unquestionable talent, the poet was well known because of his «heteronyms», i.e. imaginary authors (he had more than 42 of them). Along with that, every one of his «heteronyms» had his own biography and literary style. The majority of those who study the creative work of Fernando Pessoa (one of the most prominent of them is the British literary critic R. Zenith), believe, dealing with his «phenomenon», that the peculiarities of this man in many aspects were caused by the specific features of his character, love for his home country and its language, and by his faith in the «Sebastianist» idea (16th century). Deeply submerged in his inner world, the poet frequently did not separate his fantasies from the reality, showing along with that his surprising proper feeling of that reality and the unique capacity to foresee it. As a political journalist, Pessoa is interesting to study due to his views on the history of Portugal and the future of Europe. His views have drifted from the early republicanism to the «scientific monarchism» in the adult times, and testified that the poet never stopped in his studies of the outer world, suggesting his own, sometimes rather original ways of its understanding. At the same time, Pessoa’s views resonate to a certain degree with those of Russian philosophers A. Losev and M. Bakhtin. The «Sebastianist» myth and the project of the «Fifth Empire» were interlaced in the Pessoa’s philosophic heritage with the concept of Portuguese national identity. Without them he didn’t see any perspectives for the future development of his country. Utopia in his works never denied the reality, rather it creatively developed and complemented the latter. Partly, utopia might reflect his response to the reactionary trends within Portugal as well as in Europe as a whole in the 1930s. The transfer of his ashes to the famous Jerónimos Monastery in 1985, where the remains of Vasco da Gama, Camões and the King Sebastian also lay, symbolized the recognition of Pessoa as a Great Portuguese poet.
The Image of Death in Carlos Augusto Salaverry´s «Mysteries of the Grave»
Authors: Novoselova E. V.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the image of death in the poem «Mysteries of the Grave» (Misterios de la tumba) by Carlos Augusto Salaverry, one of the most famous representatives of Peruvian Romanticism. The relevance of the topic is determined by the insufficient study of Peruvian literature of the XIX century and the fundamental importance of the mortal problem for the culture and mentality of this country. To achieve the goal, the author solves the following tasks: analyzes the main plot elements of the poem, determines the main features of the image of death, as well as the positioning of this image in the general system of Peruvian Romanticism. The plot of the poem is built around the premature death of a young girl Rose, the suffering of her father and an unexpected awakening from a lethargic sleep. At the same time, the author’s philosophical arguments on the topic of death, immortality and social inequality are no less important than the plot itself so as to better understand the poem. Structurally, the poem is divided into three parts: «In the temple» (En el templo), «In the cemetery» (En el panteón), «In the coffin» (En el féretro). The poem allows the author to distinguish the following components of the image of death. Firstly, its duality (physical death and mental death in the form of oblivion). Secondly, the atheistic vision of death (lack of faith in posthumous existence). Thirdly, the importance of the social aspect of death (cemetery as a city of the dead that reflects social inequality). Fourthly, the absence of apparent national elements, i.e., the universality of the image of death. Thus, the text of the poem allows us to come to a conclusion about the complexity of the image of death in Salaverry´s work.
Linguistic and Stylistic Features of the Dialogue in the Early Novels of M. Vargas Llosa
Authors: Kovalev B. V.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the poetics of dialogue in the so-called «first-style» novels of M. Vargas Llosa: «The Time of the Hero» (1963), «The Green House» (1966) and «Conversation in The Cathedral» (1969). The study of the linguo-stylistic specifics of dialogues in Latin American texts is especially relevant, because it is in the poetics of the total novel during the Latin American boom that dialogue is the key technique. The methodology of the study is based on the works of B.C. Prado, A.N. Veselovsky and V.V. Vinogradov, in particular, the method of classifying dialogues in fiction of the 20th century. There are three types of dialogues that can be distinguished in the early novels of M. Vargas Llosa: traditional dialogue, monologized dialogue and dialogized monologue. It turns out that the traditional dialogue is characterized by the division of replicas into lines and the sequence of the dialogue without nonchronological fragments and introspection. The monologized dialogue is written in a line: it is based on the principle of repetition / parallelism and is characterized by rhythmicity. The dialogized monologue is a combined type of two dialogues, which are external (extradiegetic) and internal (intradiegetic). At the external level, two actants report information about an event, whereas at the internal level, the event itself is updated. As a result, we conclude that in the novel «The Time of the Hero» the three types of dialogues are at an early stage of their development, «The Green House» turns out to be a novel in which all three types of dialogue are smoothly and harmoniously combined, and in «Conversation in The Cathedral» the dialogized monologue becomes structure-forming and dominant technique.

Gender Dynamics Analysis: Uncovering the Roles and Identities of Bugis-Makassar Women
Authors: Nur Rezky Juniarsih , Siti Komariah
Published: October 2023

Gender is a social construction that involves labeling men and women. This construction is no longer based solely on biological or sex differences owned by individuals. Through a strong socialization process, gender ideology is formed and internalized in society. Gender identity is a sensation that appears around the age of two, when individuals identify themselves as male or female due to biological differences. Gender role identification, on the other hand, refers to an individual’s feelings about their gender, whether as male or female, which are influenced by social, biological, and psychological variables (Nurohim 2018). But in the gender ideology that is formed, there are stereotypes or images attached to the roles of men and women. For example, women are often connoted as beings who are gentle, beautiful, emotional, and have motherly traits. On the other hand, men are often seen as strong, rational, mighty, and possessing masculine traits. Stigma and social expectations of gender roles can influence behavior, attitudes, and expectations received by individuals in society.
Linking Public Service Availability to Village Welfare
Authors: Gaspersz Pauline
Published: October 2023

This study aims to provide a village-level analysis explaining the link between the availability of essential services and welfare, which is scarce in this study area. The accessibility of state-provided facilities is related to poverty reduction. On the other hand, the village, the lowest administrative level in Indonesia, is entrusted with a particular delegation of authority and budget. Therefore, the efficient management of delegated authority and budget at the village-level should be reflected in good infrastructure. By employing logistic regression, this study examines the relationship between the village development's status as a proxy for people's welfare and the availability of essential services in Maluku and Maluku Utara, two neighboring provinces with significant differences in poverty rates. The main finding of this research is that infrastructure plays an important role in improving people's welfare at the village level. In addition, surprisingly, crimes contribute to the village's development.

Published: October 2023

The indigenous community of Tamblingan highly reveres the forest as the true source of life (Merta Jati). Within the forest area, there are temples and shrines that are interconnected. Information about these sacred temples and shrines is currently limited to a few individuals who possess specific manuscripts, making it not easily accessible. A database is a crucial component of information technology implementation, as it facilitates faster information retrieval, enhances data security, and reduces data storage redundancy. The Database Lifecycle (DBLC) is a method that outlines the life cycle of a database. In this study, the design of a database for the sacred area of Lake Tamblingan is carried out, starting from conceptual database design to physical database design using a relational model. The design is created using the Power Designer tool. Data collection is conducted through literature review and interviews, while data processing is performed through descriptive analysis. This research aims to produce a database design for the sacred area of Lake Tamblingan that can be utilized for further studies, such as developing an information system for the sacred area of Lake Tamblingan.

Published: October 2023

The largemouth bass (LMB) is a significant aquaculture species widely cultivated in China. High-density culture has led to an increased susceptibility of LMB to infection by the opportunistic bacterium Aeromonas. This study investigates a case of natural co-infection with the Largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBV), Aeromonas veronii, and Aeromonas hydrophila in Sichuan Province, China. To identify the causative agents of the infection, two bacterial strains were isolated from diseased LMB specimens and identified through 16S rRNA sequencing as Aeromonas vickert and Aeromonas hydrophila, both of which are gram-negative bacteria. The infection of LMBV was confirmed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of tissue samples from the infected fish. After two blind passes of the virus fluid, the typical cytopathological effect (CPE) can be observed. Phylogenetic analysis of the virus sequences showed the highest similarity with LMBV isolates (ON418985 and MW630113) from Guangdong Province, China. This study offers important insights into diagnosing mixed infections in LMB and provides a reference for future research.

Published: October 2023

Biominerals and bioceramics are widely used in medicine in replacement as well as in the process of regeneration of diseased bone tissue. Bioactive glass is known as one of the effective materials for restoring bone tissue. Dozens of bioenamel materials of different composition and purpose are known at present. Rilligate, borate and other base biomines are known, the main characteristics of which are the presence of two types of oxides, namely P2O5 and CaO in the composition of such class of glasses. At the same time, one important thing is noted - the amorphism of biotin, in contrast to ceramics of bioactive crystalline nature, provides the possibility of adjusting the ratio of CaO/P2O5 (Ca/P) present in them within wide limits. It creates prospects for the purposeful regulation of the already mentioned properties and the growth of the fields of application. Biomin materials that are practically usaed in medicine are obtained in compositions of religiate base, when they contain 4-9 wt. % P2O5 . Non-technological compounds such as volatile P2O5 or H3PO4, hygroscopic or refractory salts of phosphoric acids are mainly used as phosphorus-containing raw materials for obtaining such glasses. In order to expand the obtainable raw material base of bioactive enamel, a complex, containing CaO and P2O5 (total 90 wt. %) and presented in the form of bioactive hydroxyapatite, raw material - ash obtained from cattle bone (bone ash) was selected. 6-10 wt. % P2O5 containing glasses were obtained from the charges containing bone ash, quartz sand, chalk and calcined soda, and as well as crystallized materials by their further heat treatment. Their characteristic properties are: bending strength, 390-510 MPa (MPa). Chemical stability with weight losses of 1.1-1.6 wt. % and density 2660-2740 km/m3. By summarizing the research results it was concluded that it is possible to use of beef bone ash as a raw material containing P2O5 in the production of bioactive glass materials.

Published: October 2023

Couscous has been widely eaten around the world because it has a low glycemic index, is low in fat, and is simple to prepare. However, it should be cooked before consumption. Therefore, novel heating methods, such as ohmic heating, can be used to cook couscous. This study aimed to investigate the potential use of ohmic heating at a voltage gradient of 17 V/cm to cook couscous and compare it with the conventional cooking method. To determine the effect of ohmic heating and conventional methods on the quality properties (color, texture profile analysis, cooking loss, moisture content, and weight increase (%)) of couscous, samples were cooked in a 0.1% salt solution. The samples were analyzed at different cooking times (4, 8, 12, and 16 min). The results obtained in the present study revealed that the total color difference also increased with an increase in cooking time. In addition, similar trends were observed for cooking loss, moisture content, and weight gain. Furthermore, the couscous samples treated with ohmic heating and conventional heating methods were completely cooked after 12 minutes. Overall, compared to the conventional cooking method, the ohmic heating process did not induce any negative effects on the quality parameters of couscous.

Agricultural biomass feedstock for biofuels production in Ukraine
Authors: Tryboi Oleksandra , Zheliezna Tetiana , Drahniev Semen
Published: October 2023

Ukraine has a large potential of biomass available for the production of solid, gaseous and liquid biofuels. According to 2021 data, the bioenergy potential is about 25 Mtoe, of which 49% is agricultural residues and 30% is energy crops (in case of growing on 2 mln ha). Of the agriresidues, only sunflower husk is now widely used for energy, while the potential of straw, corn stalks and sunflower stalks is practically untapped for this purpose. For Ukraine, one of the promising directions is priority use of corn stalks for the production of energy and solid biofuels such as briquettes and pellets. Another prospective area is growing energy crops. Ukraine has 3-4 mln ha of unused (marginal) agricultural land, which can be engaged for growing energy crops such as willow, poplar, miscanthus (for solid biofuels) and corn silage for biogas. Growing energy crops as biomass feedstock and its further use for the production of heat and power becomes competitive in light of growing prices of natural gas and issues with providing security of its supply. An important but less-developed sector of Ukraine’s bioenergy is motor biofuels. Having such a big potential of agribiomass, the country could produce bioethanol and biodiesel including the advanced biofuels from lignocellulosic feedstock. It is necessary to create favourable conditions for the development of domestic production of motor biofuels. This may include a reduction in the excise tax, the abolition of compulsory tax bill for the full rate of excise duty when transporting bioethanol, the introduction of an export duty on rapeseed, and some other measures.

In Romania, home heating in remote villages is usually provided through wood burning, using a fireplace or a boiler. The access to the electricity is assured only to the villages in proximity of the cities, main reason being the enormous price for the connection of few households to the national power grid, which makes the electricity directly related to poverty. Access to electricity may improve economic and social status of isolated communities.
One of the main advantages of renewable energy, is its decentralized characteristic. This means that every household can produce its own energy without relying on the national power grid. This paper aims to research, from a techno-economic point of view, the possibility of creating small power grids in remote villages from Dobrogea - Romania and its social benefits for the communities. The first step is to identify how many villages in Dobrogea do not have access to electricity, to analyze from a technical, economic, social and environmental perspective the possibility of implementing project in rural areas by using mathematical models. Second step is to identify possibilities of private or governmental funding for implementing such projects.

Published: October 2023

According to the initiative "The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (CoM)" and within the framework of the EU-funded "Positive Energy Areas Project", the Municipality of Vidin should establish a "Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan". The city's sustainable energy development plans aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% up to 2030 and develop a comprehensive climate change adaptation strategy at the local level or integrate it into existing plans. The initiative envisages actions both for mitigating climate change and also for climate adaptation at the local level. 
This paper presents the results of the first part of the process for establishing the "Sustainable Energy and Action Plan of the Municipality of Vidin", including the assessment and calculation of the final energy use in the city by the different sectors. The research aims to present the main data sources necessary for СО2 emissions inventory at the city level and to process, validate, and analyze used statistical data for defining the final energy use by different sectors in one Bulgarian municipality.
The purpose of this assessment is to determine final energy use by different sectors and by types of energy sources. The results from the analysis and evaluation of the final energy use in the sectors "Residential buildings", "Municipal buildings", "Industry", "Tertiary buildings", "Public lighting" and "Transport" will serve to conduct a baseline of CO2 emissions inventory, which is a part of the “Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan”. These results also could help the local authorities and key energy players to identify and implement the most suitable measures and actions for climate change adaptation and mitigation.

The purpose of this research is to forecast the tribological behavior of the materials used in the field of braking systems using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based on the experimental data obtained by measuring the friction between the friction linings and the brake disc of a bicycle in the translational movement. The data analysis results from this research show that the estimates and forecasts with the proposed model (ANFIS) of the dynamic friction coefficient (COF) between the pads and the disc in translational motion using the ANN have been confirmed to be powerful and useful. The experimentally determined average value of the dynamic COF was 0.2003 with a standard deviation of 0.0233 in the range of values of 0.1244-0.3013.

Perkembangan teknologi dan penyebaran informasi menjadi semakin cepat berbagai aspek kehidupan, baik aspek sosial, politik, budaya, pendidikan dan pekerjaan. Perkembangan ini membuat banyak kegiatan operasional perusahaan yang menjadi lebih efisien dan efektif, salah satunya adalah kegiatan pencatatan kehadiran (absensi). Absensi menjadi salah satu aspek utama penilaian terkait ketaatan kehadiran dan kedisiplinan karyawan pada saat jam kerja. Hal ini dikarenakan absensi dapat mempengaruhi kinerja karyawan khususnya di Polda Sumatera Utara. Di Polda Sumatera Utara, sistem absensi sudah menggunakan mesin fingerprint. Namun, detektor pada mesin fingerprint seringkali mengalami masalah sehingga karyawan harus melakukan fingerprint berulang-ulang agar sidik jari dapat dikenali sensorPenelitian ini menggunakan berbagai metode yaitu metode pengamatan secara langsung terhadap kegiatan-kegiatan yang dilakukan di Polda Sumatera Utara, wawancara dengan karyawan Polda Sumatera Utara yang berkaitan langsung dengan masalah yang diteliti dan Jurnal yang berhubungan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan. Diharapkan aplikasi yang dirancang dapat menjadi solusi yang efektif dalam penyelesaian permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh Polda Sumatera Utara terutama dalam kegiatan absensi karyawan. Pengujian pada aplikasi kehadiran karyawan dilakukan agar dapat memastikan bahwa aplikasi dapat berjalan dengan baik dan tidak ada debugging pada sistem.Aplikasi kehadiran karyawan dirancang dengan model waterfall melalui empat tahapan yang dilakukan yaitu analisis kebutuhan, desain antarmuka pengguna, implementasi aplikasi, dan pengujian aplikasi, Melalui aplikasi ini, pihak Polda Sumatera Utara dapat melakukan mencatat, memeriksa, mengubah dan menyusun laporan kehadiran karyawan berbasis website, Penambahan karyawan, pengubahan data user, beserta pengunduhan laporan dalam aplikasi ini hanya dapat dilakukan oleh admin untuk menghindari kebocoran data yang terkait dengan aplikasi tersebut.

This study investigates if Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) contribute to economic growth in Nigeria between 1999 and 2020. The data used for the study were obtained from CBN statistical bulletin and National Bureau of Statistics in collaboration with Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria on the variables such as the number of SMEs in Nigeria (NSMES), Commercial Banks Credit to SMEs (CBSME), SMEs employment generation (SMEEG) and interest rate (INTRT). Since the data for the variables are time series which are always not stationary, the test of staionarity was conducted using Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test. ARDL Bounds test for co-integration was employed to check the long run relationship while Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique was employed to estimate the parameters of the model. From the results of the regression, some variables such as NSMES, CBSME and INTRT have positive impact on the economic growth while SMEEG has negative impact on economic growth in Nigeria in the short run. The result further shows that only NSMES has significant impact on economic growth, while CBSME, SMEEG and INTRT are insignificant. The study therefore, recommends that government should create enabling environments for the SMEs to thrive well. Also, commercial banks should encourage financial inclusion, that is, SMEs should be given easy access to loans. This can go a long way to help investors to bring their ideas into reality.

Published: October 2023

The student support services in an Open Distance e-Learning system are a vitally important component of achieving quality education. The focal point of this paper was to assess the student support services in the Open and Distance e-Learning (ODe-L) programme in one selected university in Zimbabwe. The study employed a mixed methods research approach following a parallel convergent research design. The study population comprised ODe-L students, coordinators, and lecturers. A stratified random sampling method was employed to come up with a study sample of 50 participants, consisting of 40 students, 3 coordinators, and 7 lecturers. Online questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions were used to generate data on student support services within the ODe-L setting. Quantitative data was analysed descriptively and qualitative data was analysed thematically. The study revealed that the ODe-L program offered academic, administrative, and emotional support services. A Chi-square test based on Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance was used to test the level of agreement among the rankings of the support services in terms of their importance and accessibility. There was high level of agreement among the rankings done by the participants. Learning support services were ranked the most important and accessible support service category by students. Emotional support services were ranked the least accessible. The results implied that the ODe-L students were not adequately given emotional support, which was also deemed important. The researchers recommended that the university where the study was conducted should employ student advisors who have expertise in adult student guidance and counselling. Based on the findings of this study, the researchers recommend that there is a need for lecturers and student affairs department to inform students about available support services. The researchers recommended that the university where the study was conducted should employ adequate student advisors who have expertise in Learner Support Services.
