Zasady tworzenia prawa w Polsce i w Ukrainie przez organy samorządu terytorialnego: aspect teoretyczno-prawny
Authors: Pyvovar Maiia
Published: November 2023

Abstrakt. Decentralizacja, będąca złożonym procesem, powinna prowadzić do sprawnego i racjonalnego zarządzania na poziomie państwa. W trosce o europejskie wartości demokratyczne powstało poważne pytanie o rozwój demokracji lokalnej, której nie może zabraknąć w społeczeństwie obywatelskim. Dlatego też, aby nadać wagę prawom mieszkańców do zaspokajania ich potrzeb na poziomie lokalnym, organy samorządu terytorialnego otrzymały znaczną autonomię i niezależność od władzy publicznej. Konsekwencje te stały się realne dzięki procesom decentralizacji władzy. W tym kierunku wspólnota europejska przyjęła ważne międzynarodowe akty normatywne, wśród nich: Europejska Karta Samorządu Lokalnego, Europejska Karta Samorządu Regionalnego oraz Europejska Konwencja Ramowa o Współpracy Transgranicznej między Wspólnotami i Władzami Terytorialnymi. Europejska Karta Samorządu Lokalnego jest pierwszym wielostronnym instrumentem prawnym, który określa i chroni zasady autonomii lokalnej, jednego z fundamentów demokracji, którego ochroną i rozwojem zajmuje się Rada Europy. Ona wnosi istotny wkład w ochronę i upowszechnianie wspólnych europejskich wartości. W preambule Europejskiej Karty Samorządu Lokalnego wskazano, że „prawo obywateli do udziału w sprawach publicznych jest jedną z demokratycznych zasad wspólnych dla wszystkich państw członkowskich Rady Europy i opiera się na zasadach demokracji i decentralizacji władzy”. Samorząd terytorialny stanowi współcześnie jeden z wyznaczników i standardów demokratycznego państwa prawnego. Decentralizacja pomaga wzmacniać rolę każdego mieszkańca i społeczności lokalnych poprzez ich upodmiotowienie a wyposażenie w określone kompetencje, zadania i mienie. Istnienia samorządu zawsze broniono na podstawach, że samorząd terytorialny jest kluczowym aspektem procesu demokratyzacji oraz intensyfikacji masowego udziału w procesie decyzyjnym. W państwie demokratycznym najważniejszą jednostką jest człowiek, a zatem jest on mieszkańcem odpowiedniej społeczności. Rozwój samorządu terytorialnego pod wpływem i rolą decentralizacji był jedną z najważniejszych reform demokratycznych w Polsce, nad którą pracowali najlepsi prawnicy i naukowcy. Decentralizacja w ramach samorządu terytorialnego ma na celu rozwój uwzględniający potrzeby, cele i interesy społeczności lokalnych. Dziś Polska jest jednym z najbardziej postępowych państw europejskich, w których reforma decentralizacji władzy została pomyślnie wdrożona. Dlatego ważne jest, aby reforma samorządu terytorialnego na Ukrainie została dokończona po zakończeniu wojny na wzór polski.

Published: November 2023

The article discusses the current problems of modern digital transformation and its refraction in the prism of socio-cultural reality, analyzes various aspects of human interaction and artificial intelligence. It is substantiated that the advanced development of information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence de-termined the process of mankind’s entry into the post-anthropological era. The distinctive features of a person of the modern information age are his deep immersion and prolonged stay in the digital environment, active interaction with artificial intelligence. The main directions of interaction between humans and artificial intelli-gence are considered and a conclusion is made about the transformative effect of artificial intelligence on tra-ditional anthropological attributes. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that the result of such human-machine symbiotic interaction is the formation of a new type of subject, a significant part of whose life activity takes place in the global information space, preferring virtual communication, possessing new digital attributes and permanently in contact with artificial intelligence. The risks arising in relation to the development of super-powered systems based on the use of “digital intelligence” are outlined.

Authors:   Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, Sivtseva Saassylana I.
Published: November 2023

In this article, the objective of the author is to introduce into scientific use a brand new historical source, one-time reports of rural councils on the age and sex composition of the rural population. This will allow to investi-gate in detail the dynamics of demographic changes in rural areas of Yakutia in 1941–1945, the structure of the population by sex and age, and further clarify the number of population in rural areas. In general, demographic processes in wartime were similar both in the country and in the republic. Gender asymmetry in the population structure was represented in the following data: while the proportion of women in the Russian village on Janu-ary 1, 1945 ranged from 79.8 % in the age group 18–24 years and up to 80.5 % in the age group 25–49 years, in the Yakut ASSR – 64.4 % and 62.2 % respectively. Therefore, the author concluded that in the Yakut republic as a whole, the sex and age ratio for the most vulnerable categories of the population mobilized during the Great Patriotic War was less severe than for the RSFSR.

Published: November 2023

This study, based on the results of a number of scientific works on the study of sociocultural, socio-historical, socio-psychological and philosophical foundations of the historical genesis of the downshifting phenomenon, examines a number of methodological and analytical approaches that are at different stages of their substan-tive conceptualization and methodological design. Particular attention is paid to the genesis of the process of emergence and development of the foundations of alternative forms of socio-cultural existence of individuals, as well as the culturally and historically substantiated features of their understanding on the part of the social majority, often complicated by a more or less pronounced negative emotional attitude on the part of this majori-ty to manifestations of cultural and social marginality. Based on the results of the study, historically and socio-culturally mediated forms of historically early forms of individual and collective rejection of the massively pro-moted values of society for the sake of those values and goals of individual development that are recognized by the downshifter’s personality as a priority, and sometimes even subjectively perceived as the only true ones.
Symbolic Capital of the Avant-Garde in the Unofficial Art Discourse of the 1960–1980s
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State Institute of Culture, Lubimova Anastasia I.
Published: November 2023

The article considers the work of independent artists of the 1960s and 1980s, rethinking the heritage of the avant-garde. In the unofficial art discourse, the ideas of the beginning of the XX century represent symbolic capital, significant for artists in the formation of new techniques. The appeal to the avant-garde tradition unites various regional schools of non-conformism in an effort to create a synthesis of contemporary artistic practices and art of the past. Unofficial art unites representatives of different disciplines, were separated from public ac-tivities due to long censorship. The creative and conceptual searches of the artists expressed a disconnect be-tween personal, emotional and inner world of artistic thinking in the late 1950s, tired of operating a single sys-tem. The appeal to the avant-garde tradition unites various regional schools of non-conformism in an effort to create a synthesis of contemporary artistic practices and art of the past. Moscow nonconformists developed a conceptual direction, representatives of the Leningrad underground experimented with methods of metaphysi-cal painting and abstract art, ideas of decorative symbolism were preserved in the works of Saratov noncon-formists. Interacting with the avant-garde, nonconformists form a unity of figurative and abstract painting, a dis-tinctive feature of unofficial art.
Nature of Intelligentsia: Essential Criteria
Authors:   Don State Agrarian University, Persianovski set., Octyabrski district, Polomoshnov Andrey F. , Lipchanskaya Irina V. ,   Rostov State University of Economics
Published: November 2023

The article is aimed at critical analysis of modern approaches to the definition of the intelligentsia’s essence. Priority criteria are divided into three groups: social, personal (spiritual and moral) and ideological. The limita-tions of definitions of the intelligentsia based only on social criteria have been established. It is substantiated that neither one of these criteria separately, nor their mechanical sum exhausts the entire content of the con-cept. Likewise, the analysis of personal, spiritual and moral criteria of the intelligentsia also leads to the conclu-sion that they are insufficient, since there are no objective and reliable parameters to form a list of these crite-ria. The ideological criteria of the intelligentsia are also not sufficiently reliable, objective and scientific parame-ters of the intelligentsia as a social group in the context of competition between alternative ideologies and so-cial interests. The authors point out the methodological problems of attempts to combine social, personal and ideological criteria of the intelligentsia in various combinations. The key to the constructive integration of alter-native approaches to defining the intelligentsia is to define it as a special interclass, interstratal social group of producers of social consciousness and personality.
Religious Meaning in Anthropological Dimension: Historical Retrospective and Modern State. Part 2

Published: November 2023

As the title implies, the second part of the research is presented in this article. It continues the logic of the previ-ous article and, together with it, addresses the subject, the essence of which is the correlation of the religious worldview and the understanding of the essence of man at different stages of historical development. The dy-namics of interdependence of religious and non-religious bases of the meaning formation process is recorded. The influence of social development factors on the role of religion in society and on the transformation of inter-pretations of fundamental human qualities is revealed. The hypothesis is justified, according to which the mu-tual agreement of religious meaning and ideas about the essence of man affects the developing system of social ties both in the past and in the present. While the first part of the study emphasizes the historical retro-spective of the interaction of semantic sources sources, the results of the second part of the study reflect their current state. It is justified that the relativity of transcendental sources of meaning, which have become wide-spread today, turns out to be a prerequisite for the rebirth of secular humanism into transhumanism, within the framework of which a negative synthesis of scientific rationalism and a mystical-religious worldview is carried out. As an ideological mainstream, the intention for arbitrary transformation of man by scientific and technolog-ical means is asserted, which is justified by appealing to the tenets and prophecies of traditional religions. It is precisely on this semantic basis that the formation of new conditions of social life takes place, which can be designated as quasi-civilization. Its peculiarity is the active use of elements of the former cultural heritage, but in a transformed and arbitrarily combined form. In the context of the transhumanist interpretation, in its mystical and secular variations, the human being is seen as part of the religious and secular culture of past epochs and from this point of view is treated as an obsolete semantic construct open to unlimited transformations in ac-cordance with an arbitrarily constructed image of the future.
Characteristics of Sustainable Development Strategies of Integration Associations and Recommendations for the EAEU
Authors:   ancial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Makarova Vera V.
Published: November 2023

The article conducts an analysis of sustainable development strategies at various levels of economic integra-tion, exemplified by the experiences of member countries of the European Union (EU), African Union, Com-mon Market of South American Countries (MERCOSUR), and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with the objective of identifying distinctive features and successful practices, as well as offering rec-ommendations for incorporating international experience into the strategic documents of the Eurasian Eco-nomic Union (EAEU) in the field of sustainable development. To achieve this goal, a comparative analysis of regulatory documents and sustainable development strategies of several integration associations was con-ducted to identify unique characteristics. Based on the synthesis of the results obtained, recommendations for the EAEU were formulated. The proposed systemic approach to constructing the EAEU’s sustainable develop-ment strategy differs from traditional approaches, which may focus on blindly following international standards such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thus, the conclusions indicate the neces-sity of adapting these standards in accordance with the national interests of the member countries and the ob-jectives of regional integration.
Transformation of Social and Power Relations in the World of “Post-Truth”: Deconstruction of Authenticity

The article analyzes the trends in the development of social and power relations in the modern world. This topic is currently of concern to many thinkers: both within the framework of philosophical discourse, and within the framework of socio-political analysis, which has applied significance for public relations in the political sphere of society. Studying modern social and power relations, the authors use mainly theoretical methods, such as analysis, generalization, modeling, systematization and typologization. The sources for the analysis are texts of politicians’ speeches, online publications, political programs of parties, and videos in various media. Character-izing the world of “post-truth”, the authors come to discouraging forecasts: such changes are anti-humanistic and can lead to a new totalitarianism, the contours of which can already be traced in the activities of the media, which can create any world, any kind of reality. However, a person is either detached from reality, immersing himself in the virtual world, or is preoccupied with consumer culture, positioning himself as a fashionable and advanced user. In fact, he may not realize that he is already living in a totalitarian society.
Manatee watching is widespread and seasonally affected in Northeast Brazil: a case of the Endangered Trichechus manatus manatus (Sirenia: Trichechidae)

Marine mammal watching is a non-consumptive wildlife-oriented tourism practice. Trichechus manatus manatus (hereinafter – Antillean manatee) belongs to the charismatic marine megafauna and is subject to this practice at many places. Here we investigated the Antillean manatee watching in Brazil, focusing on mapping this activity across the country, identifying hotspot areas, analysing the potential seasonality of this practice, and assessing the interactions between people and Antillean manatees. We used a social network as data source since this species often appears on social media. The species is charismatic and have characteristics, which attract public affection such as large body size, gentle behaviour, and distinct physical appearance. We detected Antillean manatee watching in 91 localities distributed across 19 municipalities and nine states in northern and north-eastern Brazil. We considered six localities as Antillean manatee watching hotspots because of their high number of associated images. Five of the hotspots were located within three Protected Areas for sustainable use. We found up to 23 people depicted in a single manatee-related picture posted on social network, but up to five people appeared in most posts (photos and videos). Furthermore, images were significantly posted mostly during the summer months, indicating seasonality in Antillean manatee watching. We classified the manatee-watching interactions collected as either prohibited or permitted by the Brazilian law. Permitted interactions were significantly more frequent, but the occurrence of prohibited interactions reveals the current lack of compliance with Brazilian regulations. We suggest that tourism management strategies prioritise Antillean manatee watching hotspot areas, focusing on reinforcing compliance with local regulations and preferably involving local residents to ensure the sustainability of this practice in Brazil.

Being the crucial part of the forest soil's microbial pool, soil fungi in general and mycorrhizal fungi in particular are an important study object when it comes to forest ecosystems sustainability and preservation. Thus, the study of ectomycorrhizal fungi has been carried out in the Bryanskiy Les State Nature Biosphere Reserve, located in the south-eastern part of the Bryansk woodlands (European Russia). Forest types featured in the study are the local predominating types, namely green-moss-fructiculose pine forests and polydominant deciduous broadleaved nemoral-herbaceous forests with spruce. This study was aimed to assess seasonal dynamics of soil fungi' biomass overall and ectomycorrhizal fungi in particular over the course of the 2017 vegetation period (May – November) and its dependence on biotic and abiotic environmental factors, such as soil water content, temperature and vegetation. The vegetation period was divided into three periods of observation, namely an early (May – July), middle (July – September) and late (September – November) one. The method used to assess the fungal biomass was direct microscopic observation using the fluorescein diacetate staining. In order to estimate the ectomycorrhizal fungi biomass separately, trenching and in-growth mesh bags were employed. The obtained results suggest that the soil fungi biomass steadily increases over the vegetation period in both studied forest types. This is mostly affected by the forest type, available water amount and seasonal changes, while the temperature's impact is less pronounced. On average, the soil fungi biomass was higher in broadleaved forests than in pine forests (2.288 mg C × g-1 soil vs. 1.672 mg C × g-1 soil, respectively), with non-ectomycorrhizal component having comparable biomass. The dynamics of biomass differed in the two forest types. However, noticeable differences (p < 0.1) between the two forest types have only been recorded during the July – September period. The biomass of ectomycorrhizal fungi is smaller than the biomass of non-mycorrhizal fungi, but at the same time it is less affected by changes in moisture. Besides that, the study has shown that the forest litter characteristics can greatly affect the dynamics of the fungal biomass.

Abstract Objective: To review the current evidence of the potential use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in the field of urogynecology, especially in POP cases. Method: This review used several databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science Direct) and searched for English and Indonesian articles in the last ten years. Articles were received in the form of case reports, observational studies and clinical trials that discussed the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in cases of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP). Results: A total of three articles were included in this review. Discussion: There were two patient studies and one in vitro study. The POP patient study showed favorable results with low recurrence rates in patients who received Platelet Rich-Plasma compared to those who did not and another study that conducted a one-year evaluation found no recurrences after the patients received Platelet Rich Plasma at the surgical site. The in vitro study showed good cell attachment and proliferation in vaginal tissue biopsies with Platelet-Rich Plasma applied to the tissue. Conclusion: Platelet-Rich Plasma may promote tissue regeneration, hence potentially reduce recurrency after reconstruction.

Published: November 2023

The global spread of African swine fever (ASF) is a threat to the livestock sector with potentially serious consequences for food security. The article proposes an analysis of ASF in Romania from the perspective of the evolution of the number of outbreaks and their impact on the number of pigs, the production obtained and the delivery price. The analysis is based on data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority. The data indicate that in order to prevent the spread of ASF, 1,208,229 swine heads affected by the disease were eliminated (of which approximately 60,000 breeding sows), the total compensation to the affected owners being 890,880 thousand lei. The impact of the ASF on the pig farming sector translates into a decrease in total herds by 22.6%, a decrease in total meat production by 15.3% and an increase by 16.5% in the average purchase price per kg live weight.

Published: November 2023

In the early prehistoric world, communication relied heavily on gestural communication, equally important being sensory communication. Wine transcends time and offers access to the basis of this communication. It can transfer information to a receiver ready to recognize it. Non-verbal language in wine is three-dimensional: visual, olfactory, gustatory. Nonverbal language is the expression of wine’s identity and diversity.

Climate change represents the most serious threat to the environment, with negative effects on agricultural productivity, both in the vegetable and livestock sectors.

The article proposes an analysis of the agricultural sector in Romania from the perspective of the contribution to global warming and the impact of climate change on the plant sector. Data from the National Institute of Statistics, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the National Meteorological Agency, the European Union and the European Environment Agency were used for the analysis. The analyzed data show that Romania’s agriculture is not intensive in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, the type of emissions being related to the way of soil management within the agricultural holdings, the number of animals in the holdings and the use of biomass in agricultural practices.

Given that Romania’s agriculture is dependent on climatic conditions, food security and the well-being of the population largely depends on how farmers, especially those with subsistence farms, will adapt to climate change. Reducing the risks and effects of global warming requires an integrated strategy that includes climate change adaptation measures, complemented by climate change mitigation measures.

Feline parvovirus is a very often found cat infection, especially if we have unvaccinated animals and sometimes the infection can occur even on vaccinated animals, as we will describe in our paper. Feline Panleukopenia have been diagnosed in a cattery using a very sensitive test for this disease- Real Time qPcr. Twenty-one Edta blood samples have been tested, from British Shorthair cats from a cattery. Most of the tested cats had mild enteric symptoms and no death was registered. In our paper we prove that even on vaccinated animals we can found Parvovirus outbreaks and a very rapid and sensitive way to establish the diagnostic is a Real Time qPCR detection.
Improvement of Germination in Retama Sphaerocarpa and Ziziphus Lotus for the Rehabilitation of Degraded Rangelands in Algeria

Published: November 2023

The shrubs of Retama sphaerocarpa (Fabaceae) and Ziziphus lotus (Rhamnaceae) form populations in the Aurès region of Algeria that can provide a large supply of forage when dry season grazing shortages are prevalent. However, the percentage of natural regeneration of these species was estimated at 3%-7%. The final germination percentage (FGP) and total seedling length (TSL) were taken into consideration in this study to determine the impact of wet scarification on the germination of these two species. Pre-sowing treatments included immersion in concentrated sulphuric acid for 1, 2 and 3 hours; immersion in boiling water for 15 minutes, and soaking for 24 hours in water at 25°C (± 2°C). For each pretreatment, four replicates of 50 seeds and kernels were sown in plastic containers for a 21-day period. The principal component analysis of data showed that the best treatment was 3 hours of soaking in sulphuric acid, resulting in 94% of FGP and 22.2 cm of TSL for R. sphaerocarpa. This same pretreatment improved the germination of Z. lotus to 86% FGP and 25.6 cm TSL. In both species studied, a very insignificant percentage of FGP (2%) was observed in untreated seeds and kernels, as well as in pre-treatments with water. These results indicate that R. sphaerocarpa seeds and Z. lotus kernels exhibit a type of physical seed dormancy and require specific pretreatment to improve imbibition and germination. In conclusion, pretreatments significantly (p< 0.0001) affected FGP and TSL in both species. These findings should motivate plantation plans for R. sphaerocarpa and Z. lotus in both agriculture and forestry.
