Authors: Samorodskaya N. A. , Eliseeva L. N.
Published: December 2023

Background. During the recent years, there has been a steadily growing interest in the problems of microcirculatory disorders (MD) in patients with cardiological and rheumatological profile that is determined by a significant role of microcirculatory in the pathogenesis of these diseases.

Objective. Analysis of the MD special features in patients with hypertension (HTN) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Design and methods. Patients matching the inclusion criteria by age (58,6 ± 6,4 years), debut (aged 45–64 years) and RA experience (7,2 ± 2,1 years) and HTN duration (11,2 ± 1,6 years) were divided into three groups: I group — 277 patients with stage II HTN; II group — 142 patients with stage II HTN and RA (in clinical and laboratory remission); group III — 112 patients with stage II HTN and RA (in clinical and laboratory exacerbation). The study of the microcirculatory bed was performed on an outpatient basis by laser Doppler flowmetry according to a standard technique. Results. Microcirculatory bed analysis in patients with HTN and RA showed the variability of indicators depending on gender characteristics, body weight and microcirculatory type. The study of the amplitude-frequency spectrum in women with stasis, in men with spastic and normocirculatory types of microcirculation showed an increase in neurogenic tone, endothelial activity and some decrease in the amplitude of oscillatory processes at the periphery.

Conclusions. In patients with HTN and RA, changes at the microcirculatory level were determined, they manifested by an increase in adrenergic tone, spastic phenomena, endothelial activation, some decrease in blood flow variability and more pronounced vasomotor dysfunction that is not only the result of RA presence but its activity. RA in this situation could be regarded as a surrogate marker for the unfavorable course of HTN.
Changes in the productivity of depleted lowland peatland in dependence of the mineral fertilizer
Authors: Kovshova V.
Published: December 2023

The paper presents the results of 50-year-long research on the changes in the botanical composition and productivity of the sown grass stand, as well as the agrochemical properties of the drained depleted lowland peatland used in fodder production. To maintain the productive longevity of fodder agrophytocenoses at the level of 5-6 thousand fodder units per 1 ha of arable land and to recover the soil fertility of the depleted peatland, we require additional energy in form of annual application of a balanced nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. Even a slight deviation from the developed fertilizer system causes the immediate degeneration of perennial mown grass stands sharply decreasing their productivity and the fertility of depleted peatland.
Knowledge-based Capabilities of a Linguistic Neural Network
Authors: Rakin Vladimir
Published: December 2023

Today, linguistic neural networks are penetrating all spheres of human activity, including science. This fact is generally considered positively, as it yields a clear economic payoff. According to popular predictions, the current generation of people will already face the emergence of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) developed on the basis of the GPT line of linguistic neural networks. They say that AI will surpass the human intelligence in all respects. However, these expectations seem to be inflated. The main reason lies in the fact that the domain of modern linguistic models of artificial intelligence is the language of human communication, but languages of intuitive thinking, without which the generation of new knowledge obviously does not occur, are not yet amenable to formalization by means of information technology. The purpose of the work was to evaluate the knowledge-based capabilities of the modern neural network ChatGPT-3.5 in the course of discussion of phenomena of different scales: the control means and the foundations of modern science in the West and in Russia and the problem of reversibility and irreversibility of time in physics reflected in the theories of crystal growth. Initially, a linguistic model is aimed at making an assertion that is as anticipated as possible. And this feature leads to the eclecticism of the whole set of responses related to the broad theme of a dialog. The results of communication with the neural network on a narrowly specialized topic have demonstrated its ignorance of a well-known physics problem and, more importantly, its inability to apply it to a theory of crystal growth where this problem is the key one. Preoccupations, unreasonable optimism or fears about AI that characterize the moods of contemporary society have so far had little to do with scientific practice, apart from the harm caused by the ever-increasing information noise in which neural networks are becoming involved.
Outlines of the Science and Technology System: A Look into the Past for Forming Policy for the Development of the Next Generation Ecosystem. Part 1
Authors: Aryngazin Askar
Published: December 2023

Overcoming stagnation in the scientific and technological system or, more broadly, in the national innovation ecosystem, which can be described as “the right researchers in a faulty system”, implies, as a start, an analysis of the existing structure, status and roles of its key elements. Strategic and framework planning as a way to allocate resources and determine actions to achieve national or regional goals can be undermined if national policies on the legal and regulatory environment, improvements in physical and institutional infrastructure, support programs and funding mechanisms do not provide a push in the right direction or, moreover, it does not develop and implement a comprehensive framework for innovation. By analyzing the traditional aspects of the state and recent changes in the country’s scientific and educational system and relying on independent opinions and a survey of primary sources conducted in 2022, in the context of international experience, we identify its current values and the models that produce these values in a mixed economy.
The Problem of a Scientific Approach to Creating an Educational Project Development Ecosystem in a Senior School
Authors: Gromyko Yury , Tebenkova Elena , Zaytseva Irina
Published: December 2023

In the article, the authors analyze approaches to creating a developing educational ecosystem within the framework of modern senior school. The most important condition for the development of adolescents and their subjectivity in the research and project activities required by the Federal State Educational Standard is the creation of an educational project development environment. Besides a group of students mastering a uniform curriculum within the walls of a school, a child-adult educational and project community is formed there. This community independently initiates the content and development trajectory of its participants with access to the social and professional contexts. A project office can become an organizational core of an educational project development ecosystem. But in contrast to the managerial understanding of the project office as a project management tool, the authors consider the educational and project office at school as an initiating and consolidating system for developing a creative child-adult educational and project community and the organizational environment of its activities. Community incubation, according to the authors, is associated with a special work in the space of the student’s subjective reality: 1)in the space of the co-existential community of the project through the solution of various types of project tasks (the formation of educational and project subjectivity); 2) in jointly shared activities through initiating the transformation of forms of collaboration (mastering the very form of organizing joint project actions); 3) in the space of a professional choice situation through systematic reflection of the experience gained and designing an individual professional trajectory (sustainable professional choice).
Representation of the image of Russia's future in print media in the context of Russian society's consolidation
Authors: Velikaya Natalia , Zaytseva Anastasia , Irsetskaya Elena
Published: December 2023

Acquiring current sociological information on the features of representing the image of the future in print media is a task that has been highlighted in the context of the integration and consolidation of Russian society in a hybrid reality. Drawing upon theories of the information society and communicative action, the authors examine the information and communicative sphere as determinants in constructing trends in social and political processes, with the media serving as a crucial institution for shaping public opinion. Methods and Empirical Basis: The empirical study was conducted using quantitative and qualitative content analysis and critical discourse analysis of publications in three leading print media outlets during the years 2013-2014 and 20222023. The total sample consisted of 521 articles, with a selected sample of 174 articles published in periodicals such as “Moskovsky Komsomolets”, “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”, “Komsomolskaya Pravda,” and “Novaya Gazeta”. Results and Discussion: It was found that the construction of the image of future Russia is based on two groups of factors – internal (social policy, human capital, traditions, economic development, environmental preservation) and external (Russia’s confrontation, multipolar world). The emotional tone of articles from 2013 to 2023 has acquired more negative connotation; the number of articles containing long-term forecasts has decreased due to the implementation of Special Military Operations (SMO). Dominant discourses that construct the image of future Russia and are most actively propagated in the media were described: the “Russia - Eurasian Colossus” discourse, the breakthrough and overcoming discourse, the “besieged fortress” discourse, the discourse of justice, and the discourse of cancellation. In the future, the Russian Federation is presented as a Eurasian integrator based on cultural traditions, historical heritage, and ideological imperatives of a highly consolidated society. It is portrayed as a future leader in technological development, an economy based on import substitution and breakthrough production capacities, the advancement of science and innovation, effective educational and youth policies. Positive representations of the future create images of Russia as a saviour, a leader of a just world order, which is reflected in articles dedicated to the new multipolar world order. The “besieged fortress” and the discourse of cancellation construct both negative images of the country, incapable of responding to contemporary challenges and overcoming socio-economic development risks, as well as positive images where society and authority establish effective strategies to resist threats and external circumstances.
Young teachers caught between “Scylla” and “Charybdis”: professional deficits in a sociological perspective (case of Sverdlovsk region)
Authors: Pryamikova Elena , Shalagina Elena , Shikhova Olga
Published: December 2023

The topic of professional deficits among teachers has become increasingly widespread. The shortage of teaching staff affects not only small but also large cities, leading to the need to fill vacant positions with professionals of varying levels and educational quality. The issue is not just about finding teachers but also retaining them. One solution to this problem is mentorship programmes, that relieve the psychological tension in the situation but do not fully resolve it due to systemic issues in the education system. To identify the factors leading to professional deficits among young teachers, a sociological study was conducted in 2021–2022. The empirical basis for the analysis included survey data from young teachers in the Sverdlovsk region (n = 918) and materials from focus groups with teacher trainees and young educators. The analysis of the research results revealed that the competence deficits of young teachers have an adaptive nature during their transition from university education to working in schools. A typical set of professional deficits includes difficulties in completing mandatory educational documentation, thematic lesson planning, high ambitions, a lack of skills in constructive assessment of real situations, problems in maintaining discipline in the classroom, weak theoretical and practical preparation for communicating with students and implementing special educational technologies, as well as difficulties in working with specific student groups, including those with disabilities. Professional deficits are a cause of unsuccessful adaptation for young professionals, making the process challenging and increasing the likelihood of them abandoning the profession. The main factors exacerbating the issue of deficits include the reduction in the adaptation period for young teachers, increased control and assessment activities by various authorities concerning teachers, high demands for the professionalism of young educators in their first years of teaching, and increased workload of different contents.
Meanings and semantic nuances on open Internet platforms as a subject of sociological study (on the example of patriotic blogs in Zen)
Authors: Adamyants Tamara
Published: December 2023

The article focuses on latent meanings and semantic nuances in patriotic blogs on the open Zen Internet platform; first, the motivating incentives to enter into communication and, secondly, the verbally manifested emotions and emotional states of the authors of comments and responses to them were revealed. The research task was to obtain data that allows understanding and forecasting trends and the vector of development of socially significant processes that are influenced (may be influenced) by communication interactions in the blogs selected for study. A set of complementary methods was used: motive-target analysis and content analysis. The dominant incentive for the authors of the analyzed blogs to enter into communication was the desire to anal yze in detail the factual and moral aspects of the events and problems covered and to give a personal forecast taking into account the interests of the country. The dominant incentive of the authors of the response comments turned out to be the desire to get an assessment of the problems that concern them, to report their point of view and, most importantly, to get hope for a favorable outcome. A typical latent semantic feature for all participants of communication, which allows positive forecasts and optimism, is confidence in the effectiveness of moral principles, following which will lead to the desired result. The content analysis data recorded a high level of optimism, gaining confidence and relieving anxiety among the authors of comments and responses to them. The complex of the data obtained allows us to conclude that the analyzed blogs have a high potential in optimizing the processes of social adaptation both among the direct participants of communication and within the socio-cultural group that they conventionally represent. The data obtained can be used in making operational managerial, political, socio-cultural and other decisions.
Features of Transformation of Worldview Attitudes among Russian Youth in the Context of Geopolitical Conflict
Authors: Sedova Natalya
Published: December 2023

Drawing from nationwide surveys conducted between 2006 and 2023, this study illustrates the specific transformation of worldview attitudes among Russian youth aged 18-24 compared to the general population. This transformation occurs within the context of the global confrontation between Russia and the collective West. The analysis focuses on the clash between two ideological positions: advocates for a Western-oriented path of development for Russia and proponents of civilisational sovereignty, advocating for a unique developmental path for the country. The examination revolves around three groups of indicators:

1. Perceptions of the country's development path and its position in the world (indicators: perceptions of the necessity and priorities of changes within the country; ideas about Russia's place in the world; assessment of the path Russia is following).

2. Views on societal structure (ideas about an ideal model for human-state-society relations; desired image of the future Russia).

3. Life values and attitudes (prioritisation of individual interests versus societal interests; perspectives on actions required to achieve personal goals).

The conclusion drawn is that the new phase of societal transformations in Russia, beginning with the onset of special military operations in Ukraine in February 2022, presented a significant challenge to Russian society as a whole, particularly impacting the youth aged 18-24. The primary vector of events, marked by heightened confrontation between Russia and the West, conflicted with the worldview perceptions of the youth. A considerable part of the youth was oriented toward a model of country development resembling contemporary Western societies, embracing liberal-democratic principles in state governance, and seeking opportunities to shape life strategies within a transnational environment. However, based on the data from 2023, the potential bifurcation point in the mindsets of the youth has been passed. The emerging divergence in attitudes among 18-24-year-old Russians from the overall trend in societal mood is diminishing. There is a reduced demand for change, reaching its lowest point, and the level of trust in key government representatives is at or below the corresponding indicators for the general population. Instead, there appears to be a shift toward more intricate processes of adaptation among the youth aged 18-24 to the current situation. They seem to be searching for compromises between their previously held attitudes and the changing reality they face.
Identity and historical memory of Russians in the context of confrontation with the "collective West"
Authors: Barash Raisa , Petukhov Roman
Published: December 2023

Basing on the data of long-term sociological research, the authors study the influence of the construct “collective West” on the civic identity and historical memory of modern Russian society and investigate the dynamics of these attitudes of public society under the influence of the international political situation. “Collective West” is considered as a stereotypical construct founded on Russian public opinion and political discourse. The authors identify three main approaches to the description of the “collective West”: socio-economic and political approaches, as well as the strategy of studying the organisation of private life. This allows us to correlate the features attributed to the discursively constructed “Other” with the ideas about the “collective West” actualized in the mass consciousness of modern Russians. The authors summarize that the Russian collective identity combines both traditional-self, Russian, and Western-liberal values. But Russians are unambiguous when it comes to the interpretation of historical memory: they acutely perceive the discrepancy between Russian and Western interpretations of the past. The “collective West” has acted for Russia not only as a traditional socio-cultural and civilizational “Other”, but also as geopolitical competitor. Hence this is the peculiarity of interpretations of past events and historical memory in Russia and abroad. The “perestroika inertia” of attempts to reconcile different versions of the past was replaced in the 2000s by a sharp anti-communist discourse of a number of Eastern European states, their “turn” to the West and Russia’s growing external isolation. This revitalized the conflict between the national historical narratives of Russia and Western countries, and this is very painful for Russian society today. Negative interpretation of the events of Soviet history, especially of the memory of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, is absolutely unacceptable for the Russian historical memory. Russian people react to the attempts to revise the traditional interpretations of Russian history with the demand for reliable historical knowledge. People attitude to preserve the established interpretation of national history is related not to the fear of decentralization tendencies, as it was in the 1990s, but to their desire to protect the history of their families and family memory.
HISTORY OF THE RIVER NETWORK DEVELOPMENT, GEOMORPHIC STRUCTURE AND PROSPECTS OF GOLD MINERALIZATION IN THE CENTRAL PART OF SALAIR
Authors:   V. S. Sobolev Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia, Novikov I. S.
Published: December 2023

Geological and geomorphic works were carried out with a geomorphological survey with a detail of 1: 10,000 in the central part of Salair. The middle of the Salair peneplanation planes is widely distributed here – the Late Cretaceous-Early Paleogene, formed at elevations slightly exceeding the denudation basis – the level of the World Ocean at that time, which was 250 m above the modern one. Its current absolute marks are about 400 m, that corresponds to the neotectonic rise of the territory with an amplitude of 150 m. At the beginning of the Quaternary,a vigorous downcutting of hydrographic network occurred with its stabilization and transition to a perstratal regime at elevations 10–15 m below the сurrent encroachment line of stream flows as a result of neotectonic bulging up of the territory and further drawdown in the level of the World Ocean. Massive deposition of aeolian material occurred in the Middle Quaternary. The thickness of the cover loams on watersheds is currently up to 55 m. From valley slopes aeolian loams entered the hydraulic network and overlapped the Early Quaternary alluvium, with which the main gold-bearing alluvial placers of the territory are associated. During reoccurring downcutting, there was an abstraction of watercourse heads of the southwestern slope by watercourses of the northeastern slope of Salair with a displacement of the main watershed in some areas by 5–6 km to the southwest. Emerging buried areas of paleovalleys represent prospective targets in search for placers. The hydrographic network that arose during reoccurrung downcutting does not repeat in detail the Early Quaternary one and ancient alluvium oft en underlays slope deposits with a displacement beyond the bottom of modern valleys to the first tens of meters. Conducting a large-scale geomorphological survey makes it possible to identify areas of ancient valleys with potentially gold-bearing alluvium, which usually remain untested during prospecting and exploration.
Experimental and theoretical studies on (2E,5E)-2,5-bis(2-methoxybenzylidene)cyclopentanone: Structural, electrochemical, spectroscopic features, solid-state interactions, molecular docking and adsorption studies onto 2D carbon nanomaterials
Authors: Thaçi Veprim , Reka Arianit A. , Ristovska Nataša , Hoti Ramiz , Berisha Avni , Bogdanov Jane
Published: December 2023

A monocarbonyl analog of curcumin, (2E,5E)-2,5-bis(2-methoxybenzylidene)-cyclopentanone (B2MBCP), was prepared and characterized via spectroscopic methods (NMR, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and MS). Furthermore, density functional calculations were implemented to study the molecular structure and spectroscopic features, as well as adsorption properties. In addition, Hirshfeld surface and NBO theoretical analysis were carried out. The reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis via non-covalent interactions (NCI) and interaction region indicator (IRI) indicate the presence of extensive Van der Waals interactions. These interactions are classified in different contributions and energy stabilization from Hirshfeld surface analysis where the dominant type of contacts are H···H contacts. The molecular docking studies of B2MBCP with DNA revealed cooperative interactions that led to intercalation. The results from the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements agreed with the calculated energies of the frontier orbitals and the compound structure. Theoretical studies indicated that the relatively flat B2MBCP is adsorbed onto a graphene surface, with a significant adsorption energy of –41.19 kcal/mol. The results of this study provide a better overall picture of the properties of MAC with a cyclopentanone core and can be taken as a useful guide in the search for new biologically active compounds and new possible means of delivery.
One-step extraction versus QuEChERS for pesticide analysis in selected fruits and vegetables
Authors: Andjelković Darko , Branković Milica
Published: December 2023

This research was focused on the performance evaluation of a simple sample preparation involving acetonitrile extraction followed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis. Simplified method validation parameters, along with several other features, were compared to those of the citrate QuEChERS for 19 pesticides analyzed in four representative fruits and vegetables. The results showed comparable performances of the two methods for 5 of the 6 investigated validation parameters. The simplified method had better performance regarding the selectivity, since three analytes experienced a selectivity issue in one of four QuEChERS-treated matrices. Overall, results lead to an assumption that acetonitrile extraction could be reasonably implemented in certain cases of pesticide analysis, as an efficient and economical alternative to the official method. Since the research provides an insight into acetonitrile extraction capabilities in the domain of pesticide analysis in complex matrices, scientists, researchers or analytical practitioners can determine which method is most beneficial for a particular analysis.

Autophagy-related mechanisms for treatment of multiple myeloma
Authors: Kozalak Gül , Koşar Ali
Published: December 2023

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of hematological cancer that occurs when B cells become malignant. Various drugs such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, and compounds that cause DNA damage can be used in the treatment of MM. Autophagy, a type 2 cell death mechanism, plays a crucial role in determining the fate of B cells, either promoting their survival or inducing cell death. Therefore, autophagy can either facilitate the progression or hinder the treatment of MM disease. In this review, autophagy mechanisms that may be effective in MM cells were covered and evaluated within the contexts of unfolded protein response (UPR), bone marrow microenvironment (BMME), drug resistance, hypoxia, DNA repair and transcriptional regulation, and apoptosis. The genes that are effective in each mechanism and research efforts on this subject were discussed in detail. Signaling pathways targeted by new drugs to benefit from autophagy in MM disease were covered. The efficacy of drugs that regulate autophagy in MM was examined, and clinical trials on this subject were included. Consequently, among the autophagy mechanisms that are effective in MM, the most suitable ones to be used in the treatment were expressed. The importance of 3D models and microfluidic systems for the discovery of new drugs for autophagy and personalized treatment was emphasized. Ultimately, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of MM disease, encompassing autophagy mechanisms, drugs, clinical studies, and further studies.
A trajectory of the establishment of Madibaz YouthLab in crystallising student leadership development at Nelson Mandela University
Authors: Sebake Bernard Karabo
Published: December 2023

The formulation of student leadership development has been a focal point and a product of shaping student leaders who occupy positions of leadership in the higher education sector. The persisting challenges of the society find a discomfort in wasted opportunity for any leadership initiative which is not aligned with the policy narrative of African development and nation building. This notion led to a situational response in student leadership development that missed an opportunity to fashion student leadership development that addresses the complex challenges of society. This study intends to pen down the experience of transitioning student leadership towards activating agency for social transformation. It also intends to address how student development must be perceived as an integral part of social innovation and a catalyst for reimagining the future of South Africa for the attainment of a sustainable future. One of the key shortfalls of the transactional approach to student leadership development is how the notion of leadership development in higher education is mismatched from the quadruple helix framework model which demonstrates failure for being futuristic in nature tends to be problematic. In this instance, the study used a quadruple helix framework to justify the transition that map the intention of Nelson Mandela University’s establishment of Madibaz YouthLab. The study is a qualitative conceptual framework using a literature review to argue this important transition. The study conclusion and recommendation are postured to add to the discourse on the reformulation of student leadership development in higher education shifting towards adding value to sustainable development.
Entrepreneurship education to stimulate entrepreneurial mindset in chemistry students
Authors: Dyantyi Noluntu , Faleni Nobathembu
Published: December 2023

Chemistry is a field of study that teaches students critical skills in producing day-to-day products ranging from detergents, cosmetics, energy components and supplies for treating water. The majority of chemistry students seek formal employment after completing their studies, which helps to explain the increased incidence of unemployed South African graduates. This occurrence is more apparent in the Eastern Cape where there are very few chemistry industries with such employment opportunities. However, having an entrepreneurial mindset can lead to students venturing into business during or after their studies. Student businesses not only benefit the student but the community with accessible personalized solutions to their problems, institutions with reputation, creating a circular economy and possibly employment of others. Hence, this study aims to evaluate whether the offered entrepreneurship education to chemistry students stimulates an entrepreneurial mindset. The paper employed the qualitative narrative literature review methodology and the connectivism learning theory to achieve the set aim. Explored themes in realizing the aim are graduate attributes, science-based entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial mindset. The key findings are that science-based entrepreneurship education lacks the embedment of fundamental chemistry that creates familiarity with the concept and subsequent relatability with the course content. The connectivism learning theory supports the link between familiarity and new learning opportunities whereby, in this case, an entrepreneurial mindset can be stimulated. The study proposes that entrepreneurship education for chemistry students must include chemistry-related case studies and a participatory practical approach as a co-curricula. The co-curricula aspect will involve opportunities to start a real business on campus during the semester in which the course is offered.

Authors: Mtiya Sandiswa , Kariyana Israel
Published: December 2023

The literature links significant parental involvement in school activities to good school outcomes. The two-fold study examined factors affecting parental participation in rural primary school governance and its advantages. The qualitative case study method was used to collect data from nine purposively recruited individuals from three rural elementary schools. Individual semi-structured interviews collected thematically analyzed data. The study found that negative school attitudes caused parental animosity toward school. Lack of role awareness, inadequate professional connections caused by academic gaps, and language difficulties also discouraged parental involvement in school governance. Parental involvement promotes collective accountability and school-home integration. Home and school characteristics affected parental participation in school activities, the study found. Based on the findings, recommendations included improving parent-teacher interactions to help students succeed and training SGBs to improve their performance.
Leveraging indigenous languages for efficient local government: an analysis in a South African context
Authors: Maswanganyi Fortune Tebogo
Published: December 2023

South Africa is a diverse nation with a rich tapestry of indigenous languages spoken across its provinces. As the country continues its democratic journey, local government plays a pivotal role in ensuring service delivery, community engagement, and development. This article explores the potential of indigenous languages as a valuable resource for enhancing the efficiency of local government operations. Indigenous languages, often marginalised, hold a wealth of cultural, historical, and contextual knowledge that can be harnessed to improve governance, communication, and community engagement at the local level. This paper investigates the multifaceted benefits of incorporating indigenous languages into various aspects of local government activities. The paper also draws upon case studies on incorporating indigenous languages in municipalities for efficient communication.

O CONTO “DESENREDO”, DE JOÃO GUIMARÃES ROSA COMO UM EXERCÍCIO DE LEITURA LITERÁRIA, NO ENSINO MÉDIO, DA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA
Authors: Mourão Mônica Assunção
Published: December 2023

O artigo tem como mote um exercício de leitura sob a forma de oficina literária, no nível médio, da educação básica. Assim, almeja-se uma aproximação do discente para com o universo de criação de Guimarães Rosa, por vezes, considerado como um autor hermético e, por conta dessa característica, ainda pouco explorado nessa etapa do ensino. Para isso, o corpus escolhido foi o conto Desenredo e a metodologia desenvolvida deu-se em torno do resgate de alguns tipos de leitura bem como execução de atividades um pouco além de questões de compreensão/interpretação textual. Logo, os resultados esperados, após o desenvolvimento e consequente conclusão de tais atividades reverberam em uma análise da relevância da escrita Roseana presente nos livros didáticos e de como esse recurso impresso pode ser utilizado enquanto ferramenta complementar no que tange à construção de um olhar literária.

Em “O recado do morro” (1956), Rosa convida o leitor ao regime de plantio e colheita em a-meia, em lavoura “tutaméia”, segundo protocolo metapoético que se projeta em Pedro Orósio: “ele trabucava forro, plantando à meia sua rocinha”. A narrativa traz uma mensagem fragmentária que se subtrai à revelação unívoca, conservando sua condição de mistério acessível unicamente à experiência poética. Buscamos aqui articulações intelectivas entre paisagem, literatura e espiritualidade, com base em declaração de Rosa, citado por Haroldo de Campos: “as pessoas dizem que só estou pintando uma cena do interior de Minas e estou é fazendo uma espécie de omelete ecumênico”.

Ekonomi adalah aturan tentang tindakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup melalui konsumsi, produksi, dan distribusi. Kegiatan ini sangat erat kaitannya dengan kependudukan. Pertumbuhan penduduk yang cepat menyebabkan sumber daya yang terbatas. Oleh karena itu, keseimbangan antara sumber daya dan kegiatan ekonomi sangat diperlukan. Salah satu upayanya adalah setiap produsen yang merupakan salah satu pelaku ekonomi perlu mengetahui nilai produksinya agar semua kebutuhan terpenuhi. Nilai produksi dapat ditentukan dengan menggunakan model ekonomi Leontief dan dekomposisi atas bawah. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut penulis menentukan nilai produksi industri unggulan Jawa Timur dengan menggunakan model ekonomi Leontief dan lower upper decomposition. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah studi literatur, dan data input-output produk unggulan propinsi Jawa Timur tahun 2021 yang digunakan diperoleh dari Badan Pusat Statistik [3]. Berdasarkan studi literatur mengenai model ekonomi Leontief didapatkan langkah-langkah untuk menyelesaikan model menggunakan low upper dekomposisi. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah nilai produksi dari sembilan industri unggulan yaitu, Industri ketenagalistrikan sebesar Rp59.281.599,00, industri kimia, farmasi, dan obat sebesar Rp135.398.978,00, industri makanan dan minuman sebesar Rp336.948.795,00, industri tekstil dan pakaian jadi sebesar Rp32.642.590,00, industri jasa informasi dan komunikasi sebesar Rp100.423.238,00, industri jasa perusahaan Rp35.404.398,00, industri kulit dan barang dari kulit sebesar Rp16.610.424,00, industri          perdagangan besar         dan eceran sebesar Rp224.936.840,00, dan industri angkutan rel sebesar Rp1.502.281,00.

Beragam upaya untuk mengatasi masalah kemiskinan dilakukan oleh pihak pemerintah dan masyarakat secara bersinergi agar tercapainya cita-cita bangsa yang tertuang dalam Pembukaan UUD NRI 1945. Namun masalah umum seperti pengurangan pendapatan, pengangguran, dan pemutusan kontrak kerja yang mengakibatkan proses penyelesaian masalah kemiskinan terganggu, sehingga jumlah tingkat kemiskinan penduduk dunia kembali mengalami kenaikan. Metode analisis regresi linier berganda merupakan metode analisis pengaruh yang dapat mengeliminasi variabel tertentu yang kurang berpengaruh terhadap model. Diperoleh variabel IPM dan TPT merupakan model regresi terbentuk yang layak digunakan dan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Tingkat Kemiskinan dengan persamaan regresi yang menunjukkan bahwa nilai IPM semakin tinggi dan TPT rendah akan menyebabkan Tingkat kemiskinan yang lebih rendah dan juga sebaliknya

Published: December 2023

Kemiskinan masih menjadi isu utama di Indonesia, dengan 16,97% penduduk hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan. Sebagian dari mereka bahkan mengalami kemiskinan ekstrem, dengan kesejahteraan setara dengan USD 1,9 PPP atau Rp.10.739,00 per kapita per hari. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kabupaten/Kota Provinsi Maluku tahun 2022, sebagai respons terhadap Instruksi Presiden (Inpres) Nomor 4 Tahun 2022 yang menargetkan penghapusan kemiskinan ekstrem pada tahun 2024. Fokus utama penelitian ini adalah menggunakan algoritma clustering K-Medoids untuk mengelompokkan Kabupaten/Kota berdasarkan faktor-faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap kemiskinan ekstrem. Variabel yang digunakan melibatkan persentase penduduk lansia, tingkat pengangguran, pertumbuhan penduduk, Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM), sumber air utama sumur tidak terlindungi, dan bahan bakar utama memasak menggunakan kayu. Dari 11 Kabupaten/Kota di Provinsi Maluku, hasil analisis clustering menunjukkan pembentukan 4 cluster dengan karakteristik yang berbeda. Cluster 1 memiliki 2 anggota, ditandai dengan persentase penduduk lansia yang signifikan dan tingkat pengangguran tertinggi. Cluster 2, dengan 3 anggota, memiliki persentase penduduk lansia tertinggi, IPM rendah, dan rumah tangga banyak menggunakan sumur tidak terlindungi dan kayu sebagai sumber air dan bahan bakar utama. Cluster 3, dengan 5 anggota, memiliki karakteristik rumah tangga menggunakan sumur tidak terlindungi dan kayu, serta IPM rendah dan pertumbuhan penduduk yang cepat. Cluster 4, yang hanya memiliki 1 anggota, ditandai dengan pertumbuhan penduduk paling cepat dan tingkat pengangguran yang tinggi. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan terperinci tentang kondisi kemiskinan ekstrem di wilayah tersebut.
Asymptotically good families of quantum and locally testable classical LDPC codes
Authors: Kalachev Gleb Vyacheslavovich , Panteleev Pavel Anatolyevich
Published: December 2023

In this paper we study classical and quantum LDPC codes with constant rate obtained using tensor product operation over noncommutative group algebra for chain complexes. It is shown that these families of quantum LDPC codes are asymptotically good, which proves the qLDPC conjecture. The existence of asymptotically good families of locally testable codes with constant parameters of locality and soundness is also shown, which gives the solution of the known conjecture in the field of classical locally testable codes.
