Comparative and Historical Analysis of the Principles of Stimulating the Economy during the Crisis Period (Middle Bronze and Modern Times)
Authors: Kuznetsov Alexey V.
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The comparative analysis contained in the work is devoted to the limitations of the dependence of socio-political processes and economic conditions on historical and anthropogenic factors. Now we witness the instability of the global system, overheated by specific contradictions, phobias and crises. Falling stock indices, the threat of default, growing international problems, climate oscillations – all this forces society to look for a way out of the crisis. Purpose. Only at the level of transdisciplinary approaches can one calculate accurate and consistent data that allows one to develop fundamental knowledge of the subject in order to implement a predictive function for choosing a development concept and determining a management strategy. Materials and Methods. This study, carried out with the requirements of a retrospective analysis, draws attention to the most striking aspects of the economic policies of the Roosevelt administration in the 1930s, past experience and similar principles created from the sources of the era of the III Dynasty of Ur. Results. A real historical comparative analysis of various socio-economic models depending on natural and climatic changes. Methods for overcoming the crisis in the most difficult period of the Bronze Age (III Dynasty of Ur), caused by fluctuations in the Bond cycle, have been identified. Comparisons of the administrative forms regulating the national economy of the Third Dynasty of Ur and the state-monopoly capitalism of F. Roosevelt’s New Deal. Discussion and Conclusion. The author knows the meaning of the saying “Omne simile claudicat”. Despite the same nature of the crisis trends that led to an unexpected turn, in which the role of the government in the economic activity of society is manifested, the concept of stimulating the national economy in these two cases is equally similar. And if they are truly intended and repeated, then there are opportunities to consider them in the present or future as a leading concept for economic development.
Modernization of the Urban Infrastructure of Ekaterinburg – Sverdlovsk in 1923–1930
Authors: Zapary Vasily V.
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The article examines the process of formation and modernization of the urban infrastructure of Ekaterinburg – Sverdlovsk during the period of the New Economic Policy (NEP). The main mechanisms for the development of the urban economy are shown in conditions of regenerative growth of economics and a rapid increase of city’s population. The transformation of Ekaterinburg into Sverdlovsk, the administrative and political center of the Ural region, opened up opportunities to concentrate in it the local community resources and attract government funding. Using of limited market mechanisms of the NEP allowed the Sverdlovsk City Council to develop large infrastructure projects in conditions of moderate co-financing from the state.

Results. Despite the large number of publications on local history, a comprehensive study of the processes of modernization of the urban infrastructure of Sverdlovsk during the NEP period was not carried out. The work analyzes the modernization of the most important sectors of urban infrastructure: electricity, transport, construction, water supply and sewerage. The abolition of command management mechanisms and the permission of private initiative in trade and small industry caused rapid growth in the city’s economy and its population. Sverdlovsk’s status as an administrative and political center of the Ural region strengthened the financial well-being of the city. The Sverdlovsk City Council received large loans from the state-controlled banking system for the development of capital construction and the development of urban infrastructure. By the end of the 1920s in Sverdlovsk, the main elements of modern urban infrastructure were created, water supply, sewerage, bus transit was built, and the construction of a tram system began. In order of regulation of economic activity and city’s property management on market conditions, a communal enterprise was created under the Sverdlovsk City Council – called Komkhoz.

Conclusion. Modernization of the urban infrastructure of Sverdlovsk in 1923–1930 occurred mainly through the efforts of the local community. With the active attraction of local equity capital and loans from state-sanctioned banks, during the NEP period the city began the successful formation of a modern urban infrastructure. The course towards the development of forced industrialization of the USSR through accelerated growth of the public sector of the economy led to the gradual curtailment of private initiative on the ground in 1929–1930.
Main Problems and Outcomes of the Activities of the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development – ODED in 1997–2022
Authors: Prudnikov Anton D.
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The article analyzes the main directions and trends of the development of ODED as an international organization from its formation in 1997 to the present events of 2022. The author summarizes the activities of this structure over more than 20 years of its existence.

Results and Discussion. The author concludes that despite periodic bursts of activity, the overall activities of this organization have been largely declaratory in nature and have not led to any significant practical results. Although the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development – ODED, which includes Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, has repeatedly raised the issue of including the union in global transportation routes for energy supplies, no major projects have been implemented. According to the author, the main reason for this has been the politicized nature of the organization, which was initially created primarily to counter Russia’s integration aspirations in the post-Soviet space with the support of Western actors such as the EU, NATO, and the United States.

Conclusion. In reality, the ODED member countries have different goals on the international stage and have virtually no common economic interests. As a result, today ODED primarily serves as a negotiating platform for a small range of issues.
Modeling of Channel Processes in a Channel Cross Section
Authors: Potapov Igor Ivanovich , Potapov Dmitry Igorevich
Published: January 2024

An erosion mathematical model of a sand channel coastal slope, which occurs under the influence of passing flood wave, is formulated. The model includes the equation of motion of a quasi-steady hydrodynamic flow in the channel section. The movement of the bottom and bank surface of the channel is determined from the solution of the Exner equation, which is closed by an original analytical model of the movement of traction sediments. The model takes into account transit, gravitational and pressure mechanisms of movement of bottom material, and does not contain phenomenological parameters. The movement of the free surface of a hydrodynamic flow is determined from the interpolation of experimental data. The model takes into account changes in the average turbulent viscosity along the alignment when the channel alignment changes. The influence of quasi-steady hydrodynamic flow on mass loss in the channel section was studied. A criterion has been introduced to determine the disequilibrium of the channel flow. It is shown that to model channel deformations in this case, it is necessary to take into account a non-zero gradient of sediment movement along the channel axis. Numerical calculations have been carried out demonstrating the qualitative and quantitative influence of these features on the process of determining the turbulent viscosity of the flow and the erosion of the coastal slope of the channel. Data comparison on coastal deformations obtained as a result of numerical calculations with known flume experimental data showed their good agreement.

Authors: Batkhin Alexander Borisovich , Khaydarov Zafar Khaydar Ugli
Published: January 2024

The study of formal stability of equilibrium positions of a multiparametric Hamiltonian system in a generic case is traditionally carried out using its normal form under the condition of the absence of resonances of small orders. In this paper we propose a method of symbolic computation of the condition of existence of a resonance of arbitrary order for a system with three degrees of freedom. It is shown that this condition for each resonant vector can be represented as a rational algebraic curve. By methods of computer algebra the rational parametrization of this curve for the case of an arbitrary resonance is obtained. A model example of some two-parameter system of pendulum type is considered.

Published: January 2024

The paper discusses the issues of applying deep learning methods for detecting computer attacks in network traffic. The results of the analysis of relevant studies and reviews of deep learning applications for intrusion detection are presented. The most used deep learning methods are discussed and compared. The classification system of deep learning methods for intrusion detection is proposed. Current trends and challenges of applying deep learning methods for detecting computer attacks in network traffic are identified. The CNN-BiLSTM neural network is synthesized to assess the applicability of deep learning methods for intrusion detection. The synthesized neural network is compared to the previously developed model based on the use of the Random Forest classifier. The usage of the deep learning method enabled to simplify the feature engineering stage, and evaluation metrics of Random Forest and CNN-BiLSTM models are close. This confirms the prospects for the application of deep learning methods for intrusion detection.

Published: January 2024

Some modern approaches to detecting defects in printed circuit boards based on automatic optical inspection are considered in order to design their own control system. The importance of the control process is growing in connection with the tightening of the requirements imposed by modern production processes. At the enterprises of mass production of electronics, attempts are being made to achieve high quality of all parts, assemblies and finished products. The optical inspection system is one of the most important tools for automating the visual inspection of printed circuits. In addition to ensuring cost efficiency and product quality control, an automated control system can also collect statistical information to provide feedback to the production process. The review considers algorithms and methods for automated optical control of the conductive pattern on the surface of printed circuit boards in order to find the optimal method for detecting defects.
A Technology to Synthesize Software Complexes with Hybrid Visualization Vulkan-OpenGL
Authors: Timokhin Petr Yurievich , Mikhaylyuk Mikhail Vasilievich
Published: January 2024

In this paper, the task of embedding computer visualization, performed using the Vulkan API, into OpenGL-based software complexes, is considered. A low-level hybrid approach to implement the collaboration of two APIs within the same application is described, as well as, the organization and synchronization of access to shared resources. The technology is proposed, which "encapsulates" the hybrid approach in a separate library module (VK-capsule) with a high-level interface that is dynamically linked to the executable module of OpenGL-complex (GL-visualizer). The paper describes methods for construction of the interface and connection of the VK-capsule, providing minimal intrusion into GL-visualizer. Based on the proposed methods and technology, a prototype of modular software complex implementing hybrid Vulkan-OpenGL visualization was developed. The approbation of the created complex was carried out, which confirmed the adequacy of the proposed solutions to the task assigned and the possibility of using them to expand the capabilities of visualization systems built on the OpenGL.
Wave propagation analysis in transversely isotropic piezoelastic medium based on nonlocal strain gradient theory
Authors: Hue Trinh Thi Thanh , Tung Do Xuan
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this research is to study the propagation of surface waves in transversely isotropic piezoelastic medium based on nonlocal strain gradient theory. A characteristics equation for the existence of surface waves is discussed. This equation could be easily reduced to the ones of the gradient strain theory, nonlocal theory, and classical theory. It has also been concluded that there exist cut-off frequency for the wave propagating in size-dependent materials based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory. The dispersion equation which surface wave speed satisfies is derived from the free traction condition on the surface of half-space with consideration of electrically open circuit conditions. The effect of the nonlocal parameter, the strain gradient parameter on the existence of surface waves as well as the Rayleigh wave propagation is illustrated through some numerical examples.
The Marketing Activities of Cultural Institutions as a Response to the Development of Streaming Platforms and the Virtualisation of Cultural Participation
Authors: Sobocińska Magdalena
Published: January 2024

Objective: To show trends and new challenges for the marketing of cultural institutions in the context of virtualising cultural participation and the development of streaming platforms.
Research Design & Methods: The paper shows trends and new challenges for the marketing of cultural institutions seeking to virtualise cultural participation and develop streaming platforms. The research procedure triangulates quantitative and qualitative research methods. It included literature studies, an analysis of the results of a survey conducted in 2022 on a sample of 1,019 Poles, and semiotic analyses.
Findings: The values obtained from watching films in a cultural institution – for example, the cinema, is different from those streaming platforms offer their users. Watching movies via streaming platforms does not fully replace watching movies in cinemas, because it creates a completely different context for the reception of the artwork.
Implications / Recommendations: The considerations presented in the paper indicate that virtualisation and hybridity in the sphere of culture should not so much mean transferring directly developed solutions to the Internet, but rather creating new, innovative ones, referring to the language of new media. At the same time, the hybrid nature of cultural events – their being provided now through classic and online means – strengthens both the events themselves and the value they offer consumers.
Contribution: The main contribution is a presentation of the correlations between the perception of participation in culture and the reasons for giving up going to the cinema.
Nazewnictwo bezalkoholowych odpowiedników napojów alkoholowych stosowane na rynku polskim w świetle krajowych i unijnych regulacji prawnych
Authors: Kamińska Anna , Dmowski Przemysław
Published: January 2024

Objective: The main aim of the study was to demonstrate how the lack of appropriate regulations affects the nomenclature used for non-alcoholic equivalents of alcoholic beverages available on the Polish market, and thus highlight the problems that arise from the lack of regulation for consumers and producers.
Research Design & Methods: A semantic and comparative analysis of the names appearing on the labels of non-alcoholic equivalents of alcoholic beverages available on the Polish market was conducted. The research methods used include desk research and document research, including legal-dogmatic analysis and observation.
Findings: The lack of clear legal requirements for the nomenclature of non-alcoholic equivalents of alcoholic beverages was revealed. It was found that there are discrepancies in the names of products in the product categories studied, and it was established that both products containing up to 0.5% and those with 0.0% alcohol by volume are mostly labelled under the same name (“non-alcoholic”). This can cause a number of doubts not only among consumers, but also among the entities labelling the goods.
Implications / Recommendations: Given this state of affairs, it would make sense to introduce regulations to provide guidelines for the nomenclature and labelling of such products in order to ensure food safety and protect consumers.
Contribution: Using proper, accurate nomenclature on alcoholic beverage substitutes is crucial for supporting management decision-making and conducting marketing activities that guarantee reliable and lawful information for consumers.
Belimumab in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with Juvenile Onset and Steroid-induced Diabetes: Clinical Case
Authors: Kaleda Maria I. , Nikishina Irina P. , Firsa Alesya V.
Published: January 2024

Background. The management of children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is usually associated with lifelong systemic glucocorticoids administration and, thereby, high risk of serious side effects, including steroid-induced diabetes. The belimumab (B-lymphocyte stimulator inhibitor) administration significantly reduces the glucocorticoids dose, the risk and severity of steroid therapy complications. Clinical case description. The patient was diagnosed with SLE at the age of 16 years. Therapy with hydroxychloroquine and oral glucocorticoid at a high dose (methylprednisolone 56 mg per day) was initiated. Steroid-induced diabetes was diagnosed 1 month after the therapy start; avascular necrosis sites were revealed in 2 months. Mycophenolate mofetil made it possible to achieve the disease activity control. However, the belimumab was prescribed 5 months after diagnosis verification due to continuous insulin requirement and avascular necrosis progression. Conclusion. Belimumab is the only genetically engineered biologic drug approved for the treatment of children with SLE. As a result of its use, it was possible to stabilize the patient's condition quickly (within 3 months), to reduce significantly the dose of oral glucocorticoid, methylprednisolone (from 24 to 8 mg/day), to achieve remission of steroidinduced diabetes with further insulin withdrawal, and also to relieve avascular necrosis clinical symptoms.

The Bible in the Aramaic Bowls: Between Memorization, Orality, and Writtenness
Authors: Molin Dorota
Published: January 2024

The Jewish Aramaic incantation bowls from talmudic Babylonia quoted biblical material as part of their written spells, in order to bolster the apotropaic ritual. Current scholarship is making it increasingly apparent that these spells were part of the Jewish “mainstream,” rather than its margins. The bowl spells were often (sometimes?) produced by professional scribes many of whom—as I argue here —were also steeped in Jewish Scripture and liturgy. Moreover, given the high number of artifacts found, the spells can be considered representative of widespread religious practices and beliefs. The quotations are thus an unparalleled (and the only Babylonian epigraphic) source for the study of pre-Masoretic Bible traditions. The orthographic practices encountered in the biblical quotations become a lens through which to view attitudes to the Bible’s “writtenness” and the functions of writtenness, orality, and different types of memory. On the one hand, many spells provide evidence for the prominence of orality and memorization in Bible transmission and its reproduction. On the other, many bowls also imply a conceptual prestige of writtenness, alongside scribal training. At the same time, most bowls suggest a degree of self-sufficiency of the Bible as an oral, memorized, and liturgical text. While the Bible was construed as a written authority by the rabbis, in practice, its written component was likely neither always present, nor strictly necessary for achieving spiritual efficacy within the spells.

Authors: Mokgwathi Mathelela Steyn , Graham Marien Alet , de Villiers Johannes Jozua Rian
Published: January 2024

There is growing concern regarding the inadequate infrastructure in South African schools leading to unsafe environments for teachers and learners. This qualitative single case study involved interviews with 18 participants, including 6 high school principals and 12 mathematics teachers that were sampled purposively and conveniently. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed. Additionally, school premises were observed, and field notes were recorded. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theoretical Framework guided the study. The findings highlight the urgent need for attention to school infrastructure. Educators expressed a lack of knowledge regarding school safety policy procedures, which hindered their effective implementation. Poor safety conditions were found to be detrimental to teaching and learning. We emphasise the necessity for policymakers, principals, teachers, and stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of safety aspects in South African schools, particularly regarding infrastructure deficiencies. Recommendations include providing training sessions on school safety policy procedures for principals and teachers. Additionally, newly appointed teachers should receive induction on school safety policies during their initial days at a new school, addressing the identified absence of such inductions.
Analysis of Subsidy and Policy Implications
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Yun Sungjong
Published: January 2024

This paper analyzes the motivation for subsidies and their economic effects through literature research, and then examines policy implications for subsidy analysis. International cooperation on subsidies should be made to correct market failures and provide essential public services while reducing the negative externalities of subsidies. To achieve this goal, governments and international organizations need to share information on subsidies, provide economic analysis of the effects of various subsidies and suggest alternatives, and strengthen global standards and legal measures against subsidies that distort overseas markets and cause the climate crisis. Broader cooperation between countries on subsidies should be made in the direction of enhancing transparency, openness and predictability of international trade.
A Study on Price Sensitivity Differences Based on Consumer Payment Methods for the Global E-commerce Activation in Online Shopping
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Kim Nam-Hee
Published: January 2024

Globally, online shopping transactions are at an all-time high every year. The E-Commerce market has stimulated demand for online shopping and digital transactions due to COVID-19. These changes are affecting consumers' online shopping behavior and global companies' strategies. Therefore, this study can be a helpful indicator in understanding basic online shopping consumer behavior. In particular, we examined how consumers behave by introducing psychological variables such as price sensitivity, mental budget, and sense of control according to payment method in online shopping. First, it was confirmed that price sensitivity was low when the payment method was a credit card in an online shopping situation. Then, the mediating effects of the mental budgeting and mediated moderating effect of sense of control were analyzed. As a result, this study found that the price sensitivity increases as the degree of mental budget increases even though credit card payment situation. In addition, it shows that this moderating effect was mediated by the sense of control. These studies will help companies understand consumer behavior and establish strategies accordingly. In online shopping payment situations, consumers can induce the right value by allowing themselves to check their spending status and funding plans. And various stakeholders at the payment system level can expect to attract more consumers by linking these services with payment.

INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS AND FLUID VIBRATIONS ON THE THERMOCAPILLARY DROPLET BEHAVIOR IN A ROTATING CYLINDER
Authors: Alhendal Yousuf
Published: January 2024

In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach is used to analyze and numerically present the droplet movement in both stagnant and vibrated liquid in a rotating cylinder. The Ansys Fluent commercial software package is used to solve the governing continuum conservation equations for two-phase flow. The volume of fluid (VOF) method is used to track the liquid/liquid interface. The inherent velocity of droplets decreases with increasing Marangoni number, in agreement with previous space onboard experimental findings that have been documented in literature. Complex behaviors of droplets in zero gravity were observed due to small host fluid vibration and rotational motion, which are neglected in the presence of gravity. Therefore, the impact of varying vibration amplitude as well as angular velocity on bubble migration is presented. It has been found that thermocapillary migration slows down with high vibration amplitude (A), when the fluid is vibrating. For a static liquid inside a rotating cylinder, the velocity of thermocapillary droplet migration decreases with the angular velocity increase. Temperature gradient (∇T) increment also increases the droplet's migration speed inside the vibrating fluid and a rotating cylinder of different Marangoni numbers (MaT). A flow pattern figure that illustrates the actual flow behind each modification is included with every result.

Published: January 2024

The article addresses the issue of the protection of well-known brands and its main objective is to deepen the debate on the protection of these signs in Brazil, specifically with regard to the criteria used to determine the notorious knowledge in the country. of musical instruments Rickenbacker was chosen as a methodological strategy, as it allowed a deep analysis of the phenomenon of brand notoriety and rare decision of the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). The case was analyzed from three theoretical perspectives, the passive consumer perception theory and the interactional theory, in addition to the characteristics of well-known brands mentioned by Moro (2003). As a result, the case study demonstrated that the Rickenbacker brand meets the characteristics of the well-known brands identified by Moro (2003) and could be considered as such in the light of the passive consumer perception theory and the interactional theory. As for the INPI's decision, apparently the interactional perspective was adopted, however, it was not possible to categorically state this fact.
A CUMULAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS AUTORAIS COM DESENHO INDUSTRIAL NA PROTEÇÃO DE TIPOS: UMA BREVE INCURSÃO NOS SISTEMAS ARGENTINO, CHILENO E URUGUAIO
Authors: DE SOUZA MATHEUS MARIANI
Published: January 2024

The hybrid nature of applied works of art raises controversy due to the possibility of cumulating rights in their protection, notably the registration of industrial design, in the sphere of industrial property, and copyright. Among applied works of art, the question is particularly complex with regard to typography, as it combines form and function in an almost inseparable way. Internationally, countries adopt different systems for the protection of applied works of art and, by extension, typography, making it difficult for designers to acquire exclusive rights. In order to increase the available knowledge on the protection of types abroad, a qualitative and documentary analysis based on the legislative framework of South American countries socioeconomically similar to Brazil is proposed: Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Through the comparative analysis of the legislation of these States, the intention is to gather a body of information that describes how the types can be protected and under what circumstances the cumulation of rights is allowed. The results show significant legislative differences: in spite of the possibility of cumulation, the application of standards is divergent and subject to subjective criteria.
Investigation of physical, chemical, and technological properties of titanium powder obtained by thermal dehydrogenation in vacuum
Authors: Cherezov N. P. , Alymov M. I.
Published: January 2024

In recent times, there has been significant interest in powder metallurgy, driven primarily by the active development of additive manufacturing. Consequently, a pressing task is the development of methods for producing initial metal powders that are cost-effective while meeting high consumer standards. This research is a continuation of studies on titanium powders obtained through SHS hydrogenation and thermal dehydrogenation. The titanium hydride powders, previously obtained using SHS technology, were sieved, resulting in fractions that matched the granulometric composition of titanium powders of PTK, PTS, PTM, and PTOM grades. Subsequently, the titanium hydride powder samples underwent dehydrogenation through vacuum annealing in an electric resistance furnace. Throughout the dehydrogenation process, the kinetics of hydrogen release from the titanium powder were examined as a function of particle size. The macro- and microstructure, chemical composition, and technological properties of the dehydrogenated powders were thoroughly analyzed. It was determined that the titanium powder maintained its original polygonal fragmented shape after dehydrogenation. The average particle size decreased by 5–20 %, and “satellites” were observed on larger particles. Chemical analysis revealed that larger samples contained a higher level of residual hydrogen and gas impurities (Σ 0.77 wt. %) compared to finer powders (Σ 0.26 wt. %). Regarding the study of technological properties, the resulting powders exhibited the necessary characteristics for use in titanium powder metallurgy, with the exception of low flowability due to the particle shape and microstructural heterogeneity). In conclusion, this research has demonstrated the potential of the SHS hydrogenation and thermal dehydrogenation method in producing high-quality titanium powders.
Transformation of the nickel aluminide alloy structure through the application of a heat-resistant coating using oscillation electrode surfacing
Authors: Zorin I. V. , Lysak V. I. , Kharlamov V. O. , Fastov S. A.
Published: January 2024

This study considers the formation of an alloyed nickel aluminide structure through automatic electric arc surfacing employing an oscillating electrode composed of composite wire. The arc transversely traverses the weld pool surface at a frequency denoted as f. In comparison to conventional surfacing techniques, this process either displaces the crystallization front alongside the weld pool (at f  = 1.3 Hz) or stabilizes it (at f  ≥ 2 Hz) throughout the cross-sectional area of the coating layer. We have conducted an investigation into the evolution of alloy structures resulting from surfacing. Notably, we have observed that the regions with concentrations of eutectic nickel-aluminum are particularly susceptible to structural alterations. The formation of particle clusters, which is contingent upon heat dissipation conditions near the crystallization front, leads to the development of layered texture regions. Our findings reveal that following 50 thermal cycles (heating to 1100 °C, cooling to 25 °C), the alloy's hardness becomes independent of subsequent thermal cycles, consistently maintaining a level 34–35 HRC. The highest resistance of the surfaced metal to thermal fatigue cracks is achieved when its structure exhibits an optimal  γ-solid solution (relatively ductile) to nickel-aluminum cooling martensite ratio, corresponding to the Ni2Al phase. The thermal conditions necessary for producing such a structure are elucidated by the gradual cooling of the crystallized metal from elevated temperatures when f  ≥ 2.8 Hz. An analysis of changes in oxidative wear, estimated by mass loss, during thermal fatigue tests conducted at a metal heating temperature of 1100 °C revealed the superiority of the studied alloy over industrial alloys based on nickel and cobalt.

La estrategia de resguardar el 30% de la superficie del planeta en áreas protegidas (AP) ha encontrado consenso mundial en el marco del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CBD), bajo la expectativa de proteger la biodiversidad y, simultáneamente, atender problemas tradicionales como la distribución de la riqueza. ¿Qué medidas y modelos permitirían satisfacer lo esperado y hasta qué límite? Para encontrar respuestas, este estudio explora múltiples opiniones recogidas mediante búsqueda bibliográfica, entrevistas y recorridos por el campo, con el objetivo de exponer casos seleccionados por ser ejemplos de complejidades, contradicciones y desafíos. Se concluye que proteger la biodiversidad y, a la vez, lograr mejoras sociales es una meta deseable, a la que no se llega fácilmente ni por cualquier camino, porque las AP proporcionan potentes oportunidades para mejorar la vida humana sólo si se gestionan dentro de su matriz de inserción territorial, atendiendo a equilibrios inestables,  modelos multivariables particularizados y lúcidas estrategias adaptativas.
Die potensiaal van Afrikaanse betrokke poësie om 'n sensitiwiteit vir taalvariasie en -ideologie by voorgraadse studente te kweek
Authors: Linde J , Kirsten J
Published: January 2024

In hierdie artikel word ondersoek ingestel na die potensiaal van betrokke poësie om 'n sensitiwiteit vir taalideologie en -variasie by voorgraadse studente te kweek. Vir hierdie doel word data ondersoek wat verkry is uit die antwoorde van eerstejaars op 'n opdrag wat handel oor drie spesifieke gedigte wat as betrokke poësie aangebied word. Die volgende teoretiese uitgangspunte is vir hierdie artikel van belang: betrokke poësie (o.a. littérature engagée), selfgerigte leer en lees, en taalideologie. Die data wat ingesamel is, is met behulp van kritiese diskoersanalise geanaliseer deur 'n aantal taalideologiese kodes te identifiseer: essensialisme, taalpurisme, standaardtaalideologie, taalnasionalisme, hiërargie van tale of variëteite, moeder-taalideologie, chauvinisme en ontlaering. Die kode "ontlaering" is gebruik om aan te dui waar en in welke mate studente tog, na aanleiding van die opdrag oor betrokke poësie, krities bewus geraak het van hul eie taalideologieë. Ons gevolgtrekking is dat 'n opdrag waarin die aard en funksionering van betrokke poësie as't ware prakties vir die studente gedemonstreer word, wel tot 'n mate daarin slaag om hulle bewus te maak van taalideologie en die invloed daarvan op individue se idees oor taal. Ons dui egter aan dat die opdrag wel bepaalde tekortkominge het, en meen daarom dat verdere toeligting, spesifiek vanuit 'n taalkundeperspektief, die proses wat hierdie letterkundige opdrag begin het om sensitiwiteit rondom taal by studente aan te wakker, moet voortsit en akademies verstewig.
Stolen Childhoods: Cape San Child Captives and the Raising of Colonial Subjects in the Nineteenth-Century Cape Colony
Authors: McDonald Jared
Published: January 2024

Histories of indigenous child captives in settler-colonies remain marginal amid broader inquiries into colonial-era genocides of indigenous peoples. Yet, child transfers played an integral role in the demise of indigenous populations in numerous settler-colonies. Forced child removals occurred alongside the physical annihilation of parent societies and was often an important part of the erosion and eradication of hunter-gatherer peoples and identities. This article aims to set out an analysis of the integral role played by child abductions and transfers in the genocide of the Cape San during the early nineteenth century, with a particular focus on civilian initiative. In the Cape Colony, civilians initiated the practice of capturing and transferring San children to their invasive settler society. San children were considered malleable and better disposed to forced assimilation as labourers. Apprenticeship legislation was eventually introduced in the Cape Colony to regulate indigenous child transfers and to ensure that its worst abuses were minimised, although these ideals were seldom realised. Apprenticeship legislation attempted to catch up with existing practice set in motion by civilians and in effect, colonial authorities played an enabling role by legally legitimising it. The analysis also explores the narrative justifications for San child abduction and transfer employed by European-descended settlers, and contrasts these with contemporary evangelical-humanitarian discourses. Settlers and missionaries adopted different means to incorporate San children into settler society, while agreeing that incorporation was the desired end. Discursively, settlers and missionaries managed to frame their actions as being in the best interests of San children.
Resistance of yielding rockbolts to multiple impact loads

The resistance of yielding rockbolts to multiple impact loads was tested by means of a drop hammer. The methodology was based on the ASTM D7401-08 standard as well as the requirements specified for rockbolts by Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB - a Swedish mining company) and the Safety In Mines Research Advisory Committee of South Africa (project number GAP 423). During the tests, the loading force and bolt elongation were measured with a sampling frequency of fs = 19.2 kHz. In order to analyse the phenomena involved, the tests were recorded using two independent high-speed video cameras (600 and 1000 frames per second) and one thermal camera (128 frames per second). The tests demonstrated that all the samples transferred double the gravitational potential energy of Ep = 50.85 kJ from the impact load of mass m = 2825 kg and impact velocity of v = 6.0 m/s without failure. Damage to the bolt-resin contact in the upper anchoring zone of the bolt in the steel tube occurred after subsequent impacts. As a result, the macro-deformed bolt exhibits additional yield, and its operation following the shearing of the resin bond is similar to that of a 'cone bolt'. Only one test resulted in damage to the threaded bolt rod-nut coupling, during the fourth impact; however, no damage to the bolt-resin contact zone was observed.
Problematizing Confession and Forgiveness in Prophetic Pentecostal Christianity: A Case Study of Rabboni Centre Ministries
Authors: Frahm-Arp Maria
Published: January 2024

During COVID lockdown the practice of confession was one of the aspects of the services at Rabboni Centre Ministries, a Prophetic Pentecostal Church, which changed significantly. People had to write their confessions and e-mail them to the church. These were then read out in the middle of various weekday services by a pastor who assured people that the Prophet and God forgave them. The Prophet and founder, Lesego Daniel proclaimed in January 2022 that people can only be set free through this public form of confession, thus making confession far more important in the church than it has ever been. Using discourse analysis this article examines the theological understanding of confessions expressed by followers in early 2023 and finds that they believed that their forgiveness was primarily dependent on the grace of the Prophet. Only some people believed that forgiveness from God was also necessary. Jesus Christ was not mentioned in any of the confessions and was not understood as the one who saves believers from sin and God's judgment. Confession and forgiveness were understood to be the central mechanism that allowed people to be restored to the Rabboni community and the Prophet. Using Bourdieu's notions of habitus, dispositions, and symbolic violence as a theoretical lens, this article argues that the church has established its own habitus in which the symbolic violence of dependence on the Prophet for forgiveness is understood as part of the disposition and power dynamics within the habitus of the church. By using this theoretical lens, the article aims to answer the question why believers conform to the teaching of the Prophet which makes them so dependent on him.
