The Concept of Religious Experience by Rudolf Otto: A Phenomenological Approach
Authors: Farid Farid
Published: September 2024

This study investigates and analyzes the religious experiences of Rudolf Otto using a phenomenological approach. The main objective of this study is to explore Otto's interpretation of religious experience and his contribution to the field of phenomenology. The research problem focuses on understanding how Otto's concept provides a framework for examining religious experiences that go beyond ordinary or everyday experience. The study uses a literature review, document analysis, and phenomenological analysis of Otto's works, including his important text, Das Heilige (The Idea of the Holy), and his personal documents, such as letters, journals, and notes. The study reveals that Otto's concept of the "Almighty" refers to a divine presence that transcends logical understanding and evokes deep emotional and intuitive responses. These findings demonstrate the importance of Otto's contribution to the phenomenology of religion, both theoretically and methodologically. Otto's insights have provided important insights for examining the complexity and richness of religious experiences in the modern world.

Authors: Fauzi Muhamad Restu , Usman Usman
Published: September 2024

Critical philosophy in education assumes that students are so naive and unable to read social reality critically, and this also happens in Islamic education. Paulo Freire tries to promote the importance of student-centred education, active participation and critical consciousness in education. This study aims to: (1) explore Freire's ideas about praxis; (2) explore Freire's thoughts on democracy; (3) explore Freire's thinking about critical consciousness; (4) integrate the concepts of praxis, democracy and critical consciousness in Islamic education. This is literature research which involves review of literature that is relevant to Freire's concepts and their application in Islamic education. The findings of this study are: (1) Praxis allows students to link Islamic knowledge and values with concrete actions in life; (2) Democracy promotes student participation in decision-making and open dialogue, enabling them to actively contribute to learning; (3) Critical consciousness helps students understand the structure of society and analyze their understanding of Islamic teachings critically; (4) The concepts of praxis, democracy and critical consciousness in Islamic education provides opportunities for students to integrate religious teachings with their life experiences, understand the social context and develop a critical understanding of Islam.

EVALUACIÓN Y RECONOCIMIENTO DEL DOLOR EN REPTILES: UNA REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA
Authors: Baca Montero Oliver , Gómez Pizano Daniel Alejandro
Published: September 2024

Reptiles show morpho-physiological differences compared with other taxa (e.g., mammals), such as their pain manifestation that are not obvious to people. Presently, a great part of animal care practitioners lack enough knowledge to evaluate pain behaviors in reptiles, partially because there is not enough research on the subject. The aim of this review is to perform a systematic research about pain identification and assessment through postural and behavioral changes in reptiles. A bibliographic search was made using commands constituted by words related to pain and reptile species connected by boolean operators. The search resulted in 751 articles, although only 43 of them were used based on the eligibility criteria. Information obtained was grouped into three categories. The first were articles on specific nociceptive response trials, in this group two different pain methodologies were observed in all the reptiles groups: Withdrawal time to irritable stimulus (thermal or mechanic) and response to parenteral irritating chemical. The second category included tudies in which postural or behavioral changes associated with pain were mentioned. The third category were review articles. Considering the information published nowadays, we consider that it would be insufficient to evaluate pain in reptiles using one single method. Since most sources mention comparison with normal behaviors, elaborate ethograms of individuals or species (in captivity) during a pain-free period could be useful to identify periods of discomfort. However, more studies are needed to ensure correlation between pain and behaviors.

Authors: Arifin Samsul , Pratiwi L.ya Esty , Asis Asis
Published: September 2024

Radicalism among the youth is a serious challenge to security and social stability in Indonesia. Muhammadiyah, as one of the largest Islamic organizations in the country, plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of radicalism. This study aims to analyze Muhammadiyah's strategies in preventing radicalism among the youth, particularly through a legal and human rights (HAM) approach. This research employs a normative legal research method with a juridical and conceptual approach. Data is obtained through the study of documents and literature related to the radicalism prevention strategies implemented by Muhammadiyah. The findings indicate that Muhammadiyah's strategies in preventing radicalism focus on education, moderate preaching (dakwah), and character building of the youth based on the values of Islam as a blessing for all (rahmatan lil 'alamin). The legal and human rights approach is applied in the form of respect for freedom of religion, the right to education, and efforts to prevent discrimination as well as actions that violate the law in the process of preventing radicalism. However, there are challenges in implementing these strategies, particularly regarding the alignment between Muhammadiyah's programs and government regulations, as well as public perceptions of radicalism.

Published: September 2024

Islamic boarding schools, known as pesantrens, serve as institutions dedicated to the preservation of knowledge passed down by their respective kiyai. The significance of pesantrens in Indonesia within the national education framework has expanded, influencing various sectors. Their impact on both national and international education has increased progressively, emphasizing modernization, educational quality, community dynamics within Islamic boarding schools, and human capital. The primary objective of this research is to elucidate the role played by the intellectual network of pesantrens in Indonesia. This investigation is conducted through a comprehensive review of existing literature using qualitative research methods. The analytical approach employed encompasses both descriptive and critical analyses. The study reveals that present-day pesantrens encounter a multitude of challenges that necessitate appropriate solutions. Among these challenges is the emergence of the Islamic reform movement. The enduring presence of pesantrens in Indonesia can be attributed to deep-rooted socio-historical foundations and the robust support of the intellectual network within these institutions. Consequently, these schools continue to fulfill a crucial function in disseminating knowledge within the community. It is evident from this study that the intellectual network of pesantrens plays a pivotal role in shaping societal dynamics. Moreover, this network must be attuned to contemporary challenges in order to ensure the sustained relevance and enhanced quality of pesantrens as key sources of scholarly expertise.

Authors: Villegas-Reyes Heriberto , Giraldo María Elena
Published: September 2024

El Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Yucatán (PCTY), fundado como Asociación Civil se transformó en un Organismo Público Descentralizado (OPD) del estado de Yucatán, para fortalecerse como instrumento de la política regional. Este artículo analiza las implicaciones que esta reconfiguración tiene para los Centros Públicos de Investigación (CPI) vinculados al parque. Lo anterior, en el contexto de un giro en el marco institucional y de política científica y tecnológica federal que ahora se orienta a atender problemas sociales y ambientales; concepción que puede ser contrapuesta a la estatal, que enfatiza en la atención al sector productivo privado. La metodología fue cualitativa y se basa en un estudio de caso exploratorio, desarrollado a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas a autoridades del gobierno, responsables del PCTY y a directivos e investigadores de dos CPI de gran relevancia en el parque; además de la observación en campo y de una revisión de los marcos normativos relacionados. Entre los resultados de la investigación, se exponen los alcances del cambio en el modelo de gestión del parque, desde la voz de los actores participantes del estudio, identificando la necesidad de readaptación que este proceso implica en las agendas y trayectorias de los CPI estudiados. Como conclusión se destaca que las nuevas orientaciones de las políticas científicas y tecnológicas producen tensiones entre las perspectivas federal y estatal, conllevando que las organizaciones científicas se vean en la necesidad de adaptar sus estrategias para articular ambas concepciones, adecuando su gestión interna y, por ende, la actividad científica que realizan.

Published: September 2024

Soil conditioners have great potential in saline soil remediation.
However, it is still unclear that how soil conditioners affect cotton
photosynthesis to improve cotton resistance to saline and alkaline
stresses. Therefore, we used the self-developed soil conditioner was
used to clarify whether soil conditioner has a repair effect on cotton
photosynthesis under saline and alkaline stresses. The photosynthetic
performance and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics of cotton
leaves have increased in PY and PJ. Transcriptome and Proteome analysis
results showed that Photosystem II protein, Chlorophyll A-B
binding protein, Rubrerythrin and Cytochrome B6-F complex Fe-S subunit
were up-regulated in the PY and PJ group. All above changes induced by
conditioner application promoted chlorophyll biosynthesis, and
regulation of the photosynthetic system. This study will deepen our
understanding of the molecular mechanism of soil conditioner regulating
cotton photosynthetic, and provide reference for saline and alkaline
soil remediation in arid areas.

On Ф-s-1-absorbing δ-primary ideals of commutative rings
Authors: Jaber Ameer
Published: September 2024

Let R be a commutative ring with unity (1 ? 0) and let J(R) be the set of all
ideals of R. Let ? : J(R) ? J(R) ? {?} be a reduction function of ideals of
R and let ? : J(R) ? J(R) be an expansion function of ideals of R. We recall
that a proper ideal I of R is called a ? -1-absorbing ?-primary ideal of R,
if whenever abc ? I ? ? (I) for some nonunit elements a, b, c ? R, then ab ?
I or c ? ?(I). In this paper, we introduce a new class of ideals that is a
generalization to the class of ?-1-absorbing ?-primary ideals. Let S be a
multiplicative subset of R such that 1 ? S and let I be a proper ideal of R
with S ? I = ?, then I is called a ?-S-1-absorbing ?-primary ideal of R
associated to s ? S, if whenever abc ? I? ?(I) for some nonunit elements a,
b, c ? R, then sab ? I or sc ? ?(I). In this paper, we have presented a
range of different examples, properties, characterizations of this new class
of ideals.

Published: September 2024

Objective: To demonstrate the long-term efficacy of repeated botulinum toxin A injections into the same muscles for ameliorating lower limb spasticity and gait function.
Design: Single-case study
Patient: A 36-year-old woman with right cerebral haemorrhage received her first botulinum toxin A injection 1,296 days after onset. The patient underwent 30 treatments over 12 years after the first injection to improve upper and lower limb spasticity and abnormal gait patterns. The mean duration between injections was 147 days.
Methods: The Modified Ashworth Scale, passive range of motion, gait velocity, and degree of abnormal gait patterns during treadmill gait were evaluated pre-injection and at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after every injection.
Results: The follow-up period showed no injection-related adverse events. Comfortable overground gait velocity gradually improved over 30 injections. The Modified Ashworth Scale and passive range of motion improved after each injection. Pre-injection values of the degree of pes varus, circumduction, hip hiking, and knee extensor thrust improved gradually. However, the degree of contralateral vaulting, excessive lateral shift of the trunk, and insufficient knee flexion did not improve after 30 injections.
Conclusion: Repeated botulinum toxin A injections effectively improve abnormal gait patterns, even when a single injection cannot change these values.

Objective: This study delves into the intriguing connection between knee osteoarthritis and diabetes in Malaysia. Specifically, the exacerbation of knee osteoarthritis in the presence of diabetes in terms of symptoms, physical performance, physical activity, psychological status, social participation, and quality of life was discussed.
Design: This cross-sectional study recruited adults aged 50 and above by convenient sampling and grouped them into: knee osteoarthritis-diabetes-, knee osteoarthritis+diabetes-, knee osteoarthritis-diabetes+, and knee osteoarthritis+diabetes+.
Subjects/Patients: Of 436 recruited participants, 261 (59.8%) participants reported knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: Handgrip strength, Timed Up and Go test, 6 Meter Walk Test, and 5 Times Sit to Stand Test were measured using standardized procedures. Six questionnaires were administered for the remaining parameters.
Results: Across groups, there were significant differences: 6 Meter Walk Test (p = 0.024), Timed Up and Go test (p = 0.020), and 5 Times Sit to Stand Test (p < 0.001), quality of life (p = 0.009), and physical activity (p = 0.036). Knee osteoarthritis+diabetes+ was independently associated with reduced handgrip strength, 5 Times Sit to Stand Test, quality of life, and physical inactivity after adjustment. Knee osteoarthritis+diabetes- was independently associated with reduced Timed Up and Go test and social isolation.
Conclusion: The findings revealed the diabetic knee osteoarthritis subgroup’s unique physical and psychosocial features of reduced muscle strength and physical inactivity. Future studies should investigate whether managing metabolic factors, and enhancing physical activity and strength exercises, can reduce knee osteoarthritis symptoms and disease severity.
Investigation of the putative functional relevance of the IL-6 3'UTR genetic variants with athletic phenotype in Turkish triathletes
Authors: Pirim Dilek , Niş Hasan Faruk , Bağcı Fatih Atilla
Published: September 2024

Previous research suggests that genetic variants in the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene contribute to sport-related traits and athletic performance. We aimed to identify sequence variants in the IL-6 gene region comprising the 3' untranslated region (UTR) in the Turkish triathletes and sedentary individuals and assessed their putative roles in tendency to athletic phenotype. Sequence variants were identified in the Turkish triathletes (n = 47) and sedentary individu-als (n = 46) by Sanger sequencing. Allele/genotype frequencies and linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns were calculated by the Haploview program. The functional significance of the detected variants was analyzed using in silico prediction tools. Four single nucleotide vari-ants (rs13306435, rs747302620, rs2069849, rs13306436) were detected in saliva samples of the participants by sequencing the target region. Notably, rs13306436-3'UTR/IL-6 was only seen in the triathletes, while the exonic rs747302620 was observed in only sedentary group. Also, rs13306436G>A causes loss/gain sites for binding multiple miRNAs that may be associated with athletic performance. Our findings indicate that the 3'UTR/IL-6 may have functional relevance in determining sports talent. Future comprehensive studies focusing on the IL-6 gene in athletes may pave the way for not only determining the athletic status of the individuals but also have implications for translational medicine.

Distinguishing the acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an unlawful benefit by an official from related criminal offenses and fraud
Authors: Zadnichenko S. I. , Kryshevych O. V.
Published: September 2024

One of the foundations of the current anti-corruption policy and institutional reform in the field of fighting corruption is the establishment of criminal liability for criminal offenses in the field of official activities and professional activities related to the provision of public services. The priority area of law enforcement activities in Ukraine is combating corruption offenses committed by public officials, and one of the types is acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an unlawful benefit. The article outlines the conceptual aspect of distinguishing acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an undue benefit from related corpus delicti of criminal offenses which provide for liability for offenses in the field of official activity and professional activity related to the provision of public services, namely, it contains some similar features to those of related criminal offenses such as illicit enrichment (Article 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), abuse of influence (Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), and conducting of bribery. In addition, attention is drawn to the distinction between acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an unlawful benefit and fraud (Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The article focuses on the common and distinctive features of the elements of a criminal offense under Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine with related elements, namely: bribery of an official of a legal entity of private law regardless of its organizational and legal form (Art. 368-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), bribery of a person providing public services (368-4 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), illicit enrichment (Article 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), abuse of influence (Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), provocation of bribery (Article 370 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and fraud (Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The author emphasizes the criteria of objective and subjective features which allow for the appropriate distinction.
Ensuring the reasonableness of criminal proceedings’ terms
Authors: Horinetskyy Y. I. , Replyuk N. M. , Nesterova I. A.
Published: September 2024

It is indicated that the current Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine dated April 13, 2012 for the first time at the legislative level established such a principle of criminal proceedings as the reasonableness of terms. Yes, in accordance with Article 28 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine during criminal proceedings, each procedural action or procedural decision must be performed or made within a reasonable time.
The article is devoted to the analysis of criminal proceedings’ principle “reasonable terms”. During criminal proceedings, each procedural action or procedural decision must be performed or adopted within a reasonable terms. Terms that are objectively necessary for the execution of procedural actions and the adoption of procedural decisions are considered reasonable. Reasonable terms cannot exceed the terms of execution of individual procedural actions or adoption of individual procedural decisions provided for by the CPC of Ukraine. The pre-trial investigation is carried out within a reasonable terms by the prosecutor, the investigating judge (with regard to the time frame for consideration of issues falling within his competence), and the court conducts the court proceedings. The criteria for determining the reasonableness of criminal proceedings terms are: 1) the complexity of criminal proceedings, which is determined taking into account the number of suspects, accused persons and criminal offenses in respect of which the proceedings are being carried out, the volume and specifics of procedural actions necessary for conducting a pre-trial investigation, etc.; 2) behavior of participants in criminal proceedings; 3) the manner in which investigators, prosecutors, and courts exercise their powers. Criminal proceedings against a person in custody, a minor or a criminal offense committed against a minor must be carried out immediately and considered in court as a matter of priority. It is important to ensure the reasonableness of criminal proceedings terms to study this principle not only in science, but also in judicial practice, in particular, the practice of the European Court of Human Rights. Adhering to the reasonableness of the terms of criminal proceedings will contribute to the exercise of a person’s right to judicial protection, will ensure an effective and prompt investigation and trial, and thus will ensure the fulfillment of criminal proceedings’ tasks.

Authors: Isahova N. M.
Published: September 2024

In the article, on the basis of a systematic analysis of the norms of current criminal, civil and criminal procedural legislation, scientific sources on criminology, criminal and criminal procedural law, forensic medicine and other sciences, as well as on the basis of a systematic analysis of investigative and judicial practice of investigation and trial of criminal proceedings on murders committed with extreme cruelty, the circumstances to be proven in the above-mentioned criminal proceedings, as well as circumstances related to the event of a criminal offense, which must be clarified at the initial stage of the investigation of murders with extreme cruelty, are determined.
It was determined that such circumstances, in addition to the method of committing the crime in the broad sense, which includes the preparation, mechanism and concealment of the traces of the crime, are the time of the commission of the crime, its duration, the place of the commission of the crime, circumstances indicating that the criminal was aware that he inflicts special physical suffering on the victim by inflicting a large number of bodily injuries, torture, mutilation, torture, including using fire, electricity, acid, alkali, radioactive substances, poison that causes excruciating pain, etc.), and must also be ascertained and proven fact of awareness by the guilty person (criminal) that he is causing mental or moral suffering to the victim.
In the article, an attempt was made to reveal the meaning of the above-mentioned concepts, namely, a large number of bodily injuries, torture, mutilation, torture, mental and moral suffering. Proposed procedural measures (investigative (research) actions, forensic examinations), and forensic methods that should be carried out at the initial stage of the investigation and as a result of which these circumstances can be clarified with a high degree of probability. It was concluded that since we are talking about a particularly serious crime, all the qualifying features of this act should be clearly defined and established in the law on criminal responsibility.

Mastering the art of drafting legal documents is an invaluable skill in the professional legal activity of representatives of various legal professions, which can ensure their comprehensibility and clarity, and accordingly, the proper protection of rights. An integral part of this skill is logic as an element of legal reasoning, the correctness of its application. Representatives of various legal professions, whose work is related to legal norms and the drafting of legal documents, refer to elementary rules of logic. Legal reasoning related to the interpretation of normative legal acts and their application to cases, during the evaluation of evidence and making final decisions, which are reflected in legal documentation, is an important means of achieving the rule of law. Due to the special legal thinking, lawyers get the ability to consider any thing from a concrete and not an abstract point of view. Every successful lawyer must be well versed in the laws of formal and informal logic, the rules of operating concepts, judgments, and inferences. Logic is the science of how we should reason if our goal is to discover truth. Neglecting the laws of formal logic in the process of drafting legal documents (identity, contradiction, excluded third party and sufficient grounds) leads to errors. The lack of necessary skills can manifest itself in the composition of the text of legal documents in the form of errors, which, in turn, can cause serious consequences in the form of violations of human rights and freedoms and, as a result, the principle of the rule of law. Knowledge of formal and informal logic, the peculiarities of its application, will contribute to the development of the skills of correct and effective legal reasoning, which will master the art of drafting legal documents – an invaluable skill in the professional legal activity of representatives of various legal professions, which is the unconditional foundation of the observance of human rights and freedoms in our state, as well as implementation of the rule of law principle.
Materiales para enseñar Lengua y Literatura: fronteras y redefiniciones
Authors: Gagliardi Lucas
Published: September 2024

Las reflexiones en torno a los materiales de enseñanza se han producido, generalmente, desde el campo de la Tecnología Educativa y la Didáctica General. En este trabajo indagamos en el mismo tema pero desde la mirada de una didáctica específica. Sostenemos que los materiales para la enseñanza de Lengua y Literatura poseen una serie de particularidades de las cuales no da cuenta la mayoría de los trabajos sobre el tema. Realizamos una investigación cualitativa basada en indagación bibliográfica, comparación de fuentes y extracción de inferencias. Constituimos dos corpora: uno de trabajos que definen caracterizan los materiales de enseñanza; otro en el cual se estudian situaciones de enseñanza de Lengua y Literatura que incluyen materiales. Por medio de la comparación aislamos tres aspectos específicos de los materiales para esta disciplina escolar de los cuales no se ha dado cuenta en buena parte de la bibliografía. Esta investigación busca realizar un aporte a la conceptualización de los materiales didácticos en el marco de la didáctica específica y la reflexión sobre la enseñanza en general.
Determinación de compuestos orgánicos potencialmente carcinógenos en PM₂.₅ presentes en dos sitios de la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de Toluca, Estado de México

Among the organic components of PM₂.₅ are PAHs and nitro-HAPs that can be introduced into the body through the respiratory tract, being compounds that cause toxicity to living beings. After being entered into the body, these are distributed throughout the tissues, especially those that contain the highest fat content, with the lungs, skin and adipose tissue being the organs mainly affected by these organic compounds (Agudo, 2010). Among the effects of greatest concern are carcinogenic and mutagenic diseases (Meléndez Gálvez et al., 2016). The monitoring network of the Metropolitan Zone of the Toluca Valley (ZMVT) has reported a considerable increase in air pollution in recent decades. In the present research work, the concentration levels for PAHs and nitro-HAPs associated with PM₂.₅ were monitored, their carcinogenic and mutagenic potential was estimated and the main emission sources of these compounds were determined in two sites of the ZMVT; San Mateo Atenco (SMA) and San Cristóbal Huichochitlán (SCH). Sampling was carried out during the three seasons of the year; rain that corresponds to the months of June to October, cold dry in the months of November to February and hot dry from March to June (from 2022 to 2023). The cold dry season stood out for presenting the highest concentrations of PM₂.₅, reaching a median concentration of 43.8 μg/m3 (P10: 25.29 and P90: 295.35) in SCH and 33 μg/mᶾ (P10: 22.13 and P90: 45.53) in SMA. Like PM₂.₅, PAHs presented a higher concentration during the SF season where SMA presented 12.2 ng/mᶾ (P10: 1.45 and P90: 26.44) while in SCH 26.86 ng/mᶾ (P10: 6.5 and P90: 70.5). On the other hand, carcinogenic nitro-PAHs were found in a lower concentration with respect to the total in both sites, the median concentration during the cold dry season was 2.2 ng/mᶾ (P10: 1 and P90: 8) where 12% belongs to carcinogenic nitro-HAPs for SCH, for SMA it was found that the median concentration was 1.7 ng/mᶾ (P10: 0.5 and P90: 2) with 11% for carcinogenic nitro-HAPs. The carcinogenic potential of PAHs was estimated, finding that it exceeded the reference proposed by the European Parliament Directive with respect to benzo[a]pyrene equivalent of 1 ng/mᶾ in the three seasons at the SCH site, while at SMA It was exceeded during the cold dry and hot dry seasons. Different sectors of the population were analyzed and it was found that the child population is the most likely to suffer from diseases due to the concentrations of PAHs. Correlations were carried out with the criterion pollutants, where it was estimated that the possible sources that contribute to the emission of PAHs in SCH are point and mobile sources while for SMA they are mobile sources.
“Hard” and “Soft” Privatization of Municipal Housing: A Case Study of the Warmia and Mazury Province in Poland
Authors: Muczyński Andrzej
Published: September 2024

Public housing privatization has changed the ownership and management patterns in Europe, leading to the emergence of many housing properties with a mixed (public-private) ownership structure. This study investigates the actual privatization degree of ownership and management in public-private housing condominiums (PPHCs) in Poland. In particular, the dependencies between these two types of housing privatization were identified. To achieve the aim of the study a multi-stage research methodology was applied, which was based on the triangulation of research methods such as questionnaire interviews, cluster analysis (using the agglomeration technique and Kohonen artificial neural network), and correlation analysis. Empirical research was conducted on the sample of the 30 largest municipalities from the Warmia and Mazury Province in Poland. The results showed different quantitative characterization and rather loose dependencies between the privatization of ownership and management of municipal housing in the sample of municipalities. This did not allow us to confirm the hypothesis that the privatization of ownership of municipal housing stock in PPHCs under study adequately drove the privatization of management in these properties. Therefore, the analysis of social, managerial, and institutional barriers to the privatization of property management services in PPHCs was recommended as a direction for further research.
Предметы мелкой пластики святилища Кокшаровский холм

В статье рассматриваются предметы мелкой пластики, найденные в культурных слоях комплекса памятников «святилище Кокшаровский холм – Юрьинское поселение», расположенного в горно-лесной зоне Среднего Зауралья. Памятник содержит артефакты эпох неолита, энеолита, поздней бронзы, средневековья. Но основная часть коллекции включает в себя изделия из глины и камня эпохи неолита, известные в литературе как «утюжки» или поперечно-желобчатые изделия, артефакты сферической и биконической форм, орнитоморфную и зооморфную пластику, в том числе рельефные налепы на сосудах, тальковые стержни сегментовидной формы с насечками и без, сверленая каменная булава, обломок сланцевого шлифованного ножа, обушковая часть которого оформлена в виде орнитоморфного изображения, кремневые и шлифованные наконечники стрел, глиняные диски без отверстия и др. Часть этих артефактов могут считаться культовыми, т.к., вполне вероятно, что они были задействованы в ритуалах, проводимых на святилище, которое, имело, видимо, статус межрегионального культового центра.
