Además, se examina la recepción de estas narrativas por parte de las nuevas generaciones, evaluando su relevancia y su potencial para contribuir a la construcción de una identidad regional dinámica y resiliente.
A qualitative analysis of teachers´ reasons for translanguaging
Authors: Serna-Bermejo Iratxe
Published: February 2025

English Medium Instruction (EMI) is spreading at a rapid pace in universities the world over. At a time when internationalisation has become a key objective in higher education, EMI programmes are regarded as a pillar of the measures implemented to achieve it. The present study was conducted at the University of (anonymous), an institution that has two official languages (Basque and Spanish), which is why EMI entails the use of English as L3. This linguistic milieu makes it an ideal multilingual context to analyse translanguaging. Translanguaging has become a very relevant and, to a certain extent, controversial issue, especially in those contexts where the language teaching tradition ​​encourages the exclusion of the L1 from the foreign language classroom, as is the case at the UPV/EHU. Our objective is to identify teachers´ reasons or motives to translanguage both in the EMI and the BMI (Basque Medium Instruction). We identified six objectives for these teachers to translanguage: (i) Providing a translation; (ii) The influence of Spanish on Basque: the use of Spanish expressions; (iii) Translanguaging to attract students´ attention; (iv) Translanguaging as a criticism; (v) Linguistic cleanliness and purism; (vi) Translanguaging in relation to the local culture and context.
Linguistic, cognitive, and affective components of L2 listening comprehension: A multidimensional model
Authors: Karalık Tuncay , Merç Ali
Published: February 2025

There has been a growing interest in L2 listening with regard to the factors involved in the process. Previous studies mainly focused on how certain variables influence L2 listening without investigating how the variables interact with each other as well. Adopting a componential approach, the present study aimed to investigate how grammar and vocabulary knowledge, L2 listening anxiety and willingness to listen in L2, working memory, and metacognitive awareness interact with overall L2 listening and each other. A group of 212 university students with intermediate to upper-intermediate proficiency enrolled at two state universities in 2020-2021 calendar in Turkey participated in the study. The participants completed a series of instruments measuring each one of the variables over a three-week period. The relationship between the components and L2 listening was measured through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using maximum likelihood estimation. After meticulous analyses, a statistically and theoretically sound model was put forward. The model highlights the significant impact of these components on L2 listening comprehension and displays their complex interplay with each other. Within this intricate web, vocabulary and grammar emerge as pivotal components, substantially influencing L2 comprehension as well as interacting with and shaping the other variables.
The effects of contextual diversity on lexical processing: A scoping review
Authors: Norman Rebecca Emma , Rodd Jennifer M , Taylor Joanne S H
Published: February 2025

Research into the effects of contextual diversity on lexical processing has flourished in the past 20 years, encompassing diverse tasks, populations, and languages, and underpinning influential theories of word learning (Nation, 2017). This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the field. Eighty-six articles (145 experiments) met our preregistered inclusion criteria, comprising three distinct experiment types; behavioural studies (N=111), computational modelling studies (N=20), and corpus validations (N=14). Across these experiments, the terminology used to refer to different diversity metrics has been applied inconsistently and somewhat arbitrarily. Behavioural studies have largely focused on word form processing (i.e., lexical decision tasks), showing consistent processing benefits for high-diversity words, regardless of the metric used. Effects of diversity on word-meaning processing were more mixed. We also review findings from a wide range of other tasks that are often overlooked (e.g., recognition memory). Computational modelling studies suggest that metrics that quantify the distinctiveness of contexts in which words are used better predict behaviour than metrics that simply count those contexts. Performance of these metrics is further improved by accounting for social patterns of language use across individuals or topics. Corpus validations show that diversity effects are consistent across languages. This review confirms that diversity in linguistic experience is a key organizational principle of the lexicon, but highlights that diversity effects vary across types of linguistic knowledge and task demands. We highlight key areas where more data is required, and make specific recommendations for improving future research based on a structured research cycle.
Inconsistent yet unyielding: How contradictory beliefs resist interventions and strategies that enable it
Authors: Petrović Marija , Zezelj Iris
Published: February 2025

To better understand how inconsistent beliefs persist and whether the tendency to endorse them (labeled doublethink) is malleable, we conducted four preregistered studies and a qualitative follow-up (total N = 1320 Serbian participants). We first found that doublethink was independently predicted by both superficial information processing style and lack of ability to spot contradictions. We next tested three progressively more direct interventions to reduce doublethink, all unsuccessful - first one increased sensitivity to contradictions in irrelevant material, second pushed respondents to reconcile pairs of provided inconsistent beliefs; third made them cross-reference their own inconsistent beliefs. When asked to elaborate their inconsistencies in semi-structured interviews, respondents did not evaluate them negatively, instead they employed circumvention strategies - attributing incompatibility to the response format or diluting content of the claims (e.g., adding logical conditions). Although these strategies are not irrational per se, they might enable moral relativization, double standards or incompatible expectations from others.
The reality paradox: A unifying predictive coding theory of psychosis
Authors: Mellor Edward , Harrison Lowri
Published: February 2025

We propose a predictive coding model of psychosis centred on precision-weighted Bayesian inference. Either over-precise priors or under-precise likelihoods result in posteriors strongly biased towards priors. When existing beliefs no longer can reliably discern the origin of stimuli in the world novel beliefs must arise to explain these changes and are themselves held with abnormal confidence.Changes in the world feel simultaneously familiar and strange, thinking about the changes makes my thoughts feel similarly paradoxical. If a Bayesian system under extremes of precision saw such a causational paradox, it would be forced to decide was that familiar but strange action done by me but controlled from afar or was that action from the environment and directed against me. Thus, the widespread positive symptoms become bayes optimal resolutions of the paradox as it pertains to thoughts, sensations, movement, and affect. A self-reinforcing process leads to a failure state when beliefs and perceptions become one; if a Bayesian system believes both my actions cause reality and reality causes my actions then it must do nothing, catatonia.The paper demonstrates how a healthy model could itself become high precision as an initially adaptive response to trauma. By doubling down on our beliefs about the world we can prevent trauma from changing the way we view it, but as the world keeps changing, a tsunami of high precision spreads from the initial schism.
Moving from exploratory to confirmatory network analysis: An evaluation of SEM fit indices and cutoff values in network psychometrics
Authors: Du Xinkai , Skjerdingstad Nora , Freichel René , Ebrahimi Omid V. , Hoekstra Ria H. A. , Epskamp Sacha
Published: February 2025

Network models are well-suited for phenomena detection, and most empirical network studies have been exploratory so far. Yet, due to the close connections between (Gaussian) networks and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), confirmatory testing and SEM fit indices are readily applicable to network modeling as well. However, no study to date has evaluated how SEM fit indices perform in confirmatory network analysis (CNA), and what criteria should be applied. This study examined the applicability of SEM fit indices and their conventional cutoff values in CNA. We employed a panel graphical autoregressive model for its generalizability to network models in both cross-sectional (Gaussian graphical models) and N = 1 time-series cases (graphical autoregressive). Using simulations, we analyzed the performance of fit indices to test hypothesized network structures and evaluate stationarity, under varying number of variables (nodes), sample sizes, and waves. Most fit indices performed well, except that Type I incremental fit indices showed high false rejection rates. Conventional SEM cutoffs are largely generalizable to CNA as preliminary assessment criteria when dynamical cutoffs are unavailable. However, we recommend using stricter cutoff values (e.g., 0.03/0.04 RMSEA and 0.96/0.97 incremental fit indices) in hypothesis testing or direct replication studies, and stricter RMSEA cutoffs (0.03/0.04) to detect network structure non-stationarity. This study validates the use of SEM fit criteria for confirmatory network psychometrics and encourages theory-testing and replication studies in network research, providing practical recommendations for using SEM fit indices in confirmatory network testing.

Toxic Speech as Political Participation: How Social Media Users Justify Toxicity in Political Discussions
Authors: Rasmussen Jesper
Published: February 2025

Social media is the place where most people report experiencing toxicity. While existing research has documented the prevalence and predictors of toxic behaviors, less is known about how individuals who engage in toxicity perceive and justify their actions, especially on mainstream platforms. This study addresses this gap by conducting 25 in-depth interviews with individuals who were toxic in political discussions on Facebook and Twitter. Contrary to the common depiction of toxic individuals as apolitical “trolls,” the findings reveal that many view their toxicity as a form of political participation. Three distinct justifications for using toxicity were identified: Venting political frustrations, pursuing truth through blunt deliberation, and seeking to persuade or mobilize others. These findings suggest toxicity as a deliberate, though hostile, form of political engagement and highlight the diverse functions social media serves for politically motivated users. The study calls for targeted interventions to address the distinct motivations underlying toxicity.
Secondary Psychosis Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Mochiuzki Yuri
Published: February 2025

Numerous clinical issues exist regarding the diagnostic criteria in psychiatry. To address these issues, this paper reconstructs depression and atypical psychosis through a symptomatic framework. From depression, self-infringement psychosis is derived, emphasizing its psychotic symptoms. From atypical psychosis, bewildered-state psychosis is derived, elucidating its characteristic pathology. Furthermore, this paper proposes a comprehensive concept of secondary psychosis spectrum disorder, demonstrating that stress reactions and depression serve as a common foundation for these disorders. Their basis transitions from minimal introversion through normal state to maximal introversion along fluctuations in introversion, i.e., introversion spectrum, and these disorders arise secondarily from this spectrum. Nevertheless, given that this concept is still in its nascent stages, further research in this area is expected to yield significant advancements in psychiatry.
Toxic Socialization
Authors: Sosteric Mike
Published: February 2025

We live in a surprisingly violent world. We experience physical assault, emotional and psychological attack, and even the intellectual violence of manipulation and indoctrination. Psychology is becoming increasingly aware not only of the prevalent violence but also of the profoundly deleterious impact of said violence on the human mind and body; however, sociology lags behind. Socialization, or our experiences at the hands of agents of socialization, is a key concept in sociology. Every introductory sociology text that is printed devotes and entire chapter to a discussion of socialization and related concepts. However rarely, if at all, is there any indication that sociologists are aware of the profoundly deleterious impact of toxicity (violence, neglect, etc.) in the socialization process. This paper seeks to alleviate this lacuna by providing concepts (toxic socialization the 5Ds of Toxic Existence) by which psychologists, sociologists and others (e.g., psychologists, parents, teachers, and anybody involved in the socialization of human beings) can more readily discuss the problem of a violence and neglect in our socialization processes.
Cultural Backlash? Trends in Opinion Polarisation between Educational Groups in Europe
Authors: Dochow-Sondershaus Stephan , Teney Céline , Borbáth Endre
Published: February 2025

Norris and Inglehart's (2019) cultural backlash theory has become popular for understanding right-wing backlash. The theory views backlash as a reaction from segments of the population who feel alienated by advancing societal liberalization. We test this core claim of the theory by investigating whether highly educated individuals increasingly adopted more liberal attitudes toward immigrants, LGTBIQ+ rights, and gender roles over recent decades across European countries, and whether this has led to an increasing liberalization gap to lower educated segments of the population. Using data from the European Values Study (1980–2020) and the European Social Survey (2001–2021) we find that liberalization dynamics vary significantly across countries and attitudinal indicators. Growing liberalization gaps are most common in Central and Eastern European countries, particularly in a distinct and pronounced way concerning LGTBIQ+ attitudes. Western Europe shows fewer gaps, mostly in isolated attitudes on immigration and gender roles. We conclude that cultural backlash theory is most applicable to Central and Eastern Europe (and to some extent in Southern Europe). In most countries, explaining backlash through this lens requires acknowledging that growing liberalization gaps occur on singular attitudes rather than being a widespread phenomenon.

A Critical Appraisal of the Evidence on Racial Disproportionality in Special Education
Authors: Fish Rachel Elizabeth , Shores Kenneth , Souto-Maior Joao
Published: February 2025

This essay provides a two-pronged critical assessment of a subset of the literature on racial disproportionality in special education: that which aims to estimate racial disparities among otherwise similar children. This body of research has shown that Black students are less likely than comparable White students to receive special education, and has been interpreted by many to mean that current policies meant to reduce Black over-representation may be exacerbating inequality. Our essay argues that this subset of research has fundamental limitations in its covariate adjustment practices and its data quality, making “under-representation” findings questionable. We argue that caution and further study are needed for an accurate understanding of the nature of racial disproportionality in special education.
Teachers’ Perceptions Toward Pragmatics and Pragmatic Teaching

Published: February 2025

In the last few decades, pragmatic competence has become one of the issues that captured academic attention in education settings. Yet, teachers’ perceptions of pragmatics and teaching pragmatics has yet to be closely investigated in the context of Moroccan higher education and therefore remains uncharted in literature. To address these gaps, the present study explored how Moroccan university professors view pragmatics and pragmatic teaching. It also explored how they use their pragmatic knowledge in the classroom. A total of 10 university professors (6 males and 4 females) from two public universities (Moulay Ismail and Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah) in Morocco participated in the current study. Quantitative data were collected by completing an anonymous questionnaire, while qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Participants expressed their perceptions and described experiences of the importance of teaching pragmatics, issues related to culture and identity in teaching English as a Foreign Language, and materials and tasks in teaching pragmatics. The findings yielded that linguistic knowledge is as essential as pragmatic knowledge. Thus, striking a balance between pragmatic and grammatical competence and teaching them simultaneously is crucial. Learners with advanced grammatical knowledge may fail to use the target language appropriately. As such, the results indicated that some teachers are unaware of the importance of introducing pragmatics to students in the early stages of learning English. Their skills are enough to be good at transmitting cultural knowledge and suitable language competence to students. Practical implications for future research and practice are also discussed.

Authors: Gautam Saugat
Published: February 2025

This paper delves into the dynamic landscape of civil society in Nepal, examining its pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the country's democratic movement. Despite a relatively brief history compared to its South Asian counterparts, Nepal has witnessed a rapid proliferation of civil society organizations (CSOs) over the past five decades, fostering the emergence of an independent and influential civil society. From independent thinker's forums to media platforms and diverse interest groups, this study explores the multifaceted nature of civil society in Nepal.
Organized into different key parts, the first part unfolds the historical perspective of civil society in Nepal, elucidating its meaning and evolution. The paper also navigates through the current spaces occupied by civil society and how these spaces have transformed over time. The last part of paper probes into the changing role of civil society, offering insights into its potential impact on governance. Throughout the analysis, the terms "civil society" and "civil society organizations" are used interchangeably, capturing the essence of their shared purpose in contributing to Nepal's socio-political landscape.

Authors: Halder Sonu , Sikdar Deb Prasad
Published: February 2025

One manifestation of psychological discomfort is stress. Stress in moderation can improve motivation, physical performance, and environmental response. An increased risk of heart attack, stroke, ulcers, and mental illnesses like depression can result from excessive stress. A hostel is a place where people live away from their homes, usually at educational institutions. This study aimed to construct a stress measurement tool. To accomplish the purpose, convenient samples (70 boarders) were selected to collect data. Thereafter the draft stress tool of 32 items applied among the boarders. An item analysis was done to judge the quality of each item through t test. Finally, twenty-two items were kept in the final stress scale. To assess internal consistency of the stress scale, 260 hostel boarders were subjected to calculate reliability. Following the Cronbach Alpha method, the reliability score for stress is 0.75, which is highly significant. This study developed a stress scale for hostel boarders, assessing various stressors such as physical, behavioral, psychological, and emotional stress, allowing for stress assessment of both hostel and normal boarder.
Thriving at Work and Beyond: A Review of Work-Life Balance, Job Satisfaction, and Life Satisfaction Among Modern Working Professionals
Authors: Raghav Shubhangi , Sharma Ratna Dixit
Published: February 2025

In the current rapid and demanding work landscape, maintaining a harmonious blend between career and personal life is a significant issue for contemporary professionals. Work-life balance (WLB) has become more closely associated with both job satisfaction (JS) and general life fulfillment. However, the nature of these relationships and their underlying mechanisms require further exploration. As organizations and employees strive for sustainable work arrangements, grasping the interaction between these frameworks is crucial for enhancing employee well-being and productivity. This review highlights the significance of promoting work-life balance to improve job satisfaction and overall life contentment among contemporary professionals. Organizations need to establish policies that encourage work-life integration, including options for remote work, flexible hours, and initiatives focused on employee well-being. Workers who achieve a better work-life balance tend to report increased job satisfaction, lower stress levels, and improved overall well-being. Those who enjoy higher job satisfaction also indicate elevated levels of life satisfaction, emotional health, and general happiness.
The readers and the listeners in Don Quixote
Authors: Smirnova M. B.
Published: February 2025

The principal innovation of Cervantes’s Don Quixote is a shift of focus from the logic of writing a rhetorically convincing text to the problematization of the reader’s perception. For the first time, reading and readers naturally constitute the subject of narration. The novel registers a point of balance, where a new reading practice (individual reading) coexists with the old-fashioned way (reading aloud in a group). The article explores two types of characters: one is responsible for oral narration and emotional engagement and dependability, while the other represents the culture of printed text, with its presupposition of a creative and critical perception of the text. Don Quixote himself is a paradoxical combination of both. The author also discusses the novel’s paratextual area — the prologues, where the battle for new readers plays out in the guise of a critique of chivalric romance. The scholar discovers that Cervantes not only analyzes the dramatic innovations in text interpretation prompted by Gutenberg’s new technology, but also attempts to eliminate the resulting discord with his writing and creatively reinvent the very essence of the novel as a genre.
Towards the question of dating the events described in The Master and Margarita
Authors: Orlov V. V.
Published: February 2025

The author proposes a principle for putting a date to the events described in M. Bulgakov’s novel, for which purposes he examined three groups of objects and phenomena: astronomical (Moon phases), calendrical (direct mentions of a date, month, or year), and ‘signs of the era’ (events in politics, social or everyday life of the period). The scholar strives to study Bulgakov’s book as a testimony about a specific period, which can be established forensically — i. e., by elimination of random, and matching of eligible, data. V. Orlov argues that, while avoiding direct mentions of the dates, Bulgakov could not possibly expunge all implied references. Moreover, the scholar suggests that Bulgakov left them out deliberately in the dual pursuit of appeasing censors and engaging in an intellectual game with the reader. Having analyzed the relevant data, Orlov finds that the novel is set in the period from the 11th to the 14th of May 1938 and hypothesizes other important dates in the novel, including the Master’s and Margarita’s birthdays.
Mrs Dalloway, the seamstress Lugton, and all the animals of the world. The story of an untitled Virginia Woolf manuscript
Authors: Ivankiva M. V.
Published: February 2025

A central figure in the English modernist movement, Virginia Woolf became famous as a children’s author after her death, upon the discovery and publication of ‘Nurse Lugton’s Curtain’ and ‘The Widow and the Parrot.’ The study is innovative and relevant in its exploration of the stories’ connections to Woolf’s personal and literary life. Focusing on the untitled pages found in the manuscript of Mrs Dalloway, M. Ivankiva sets out to establish the relation between the story’s holograph penned for Woolf’s niece and the novel’s poetics and problems and define the place of this manuscript in the writer’s legacy. The article details the history of the manuscript, from its drafting and editing by the author to its discovery and first posthumous publications to the first Russian edition in 2022. The scholar concludes that ‘Nurse Lugton’s Curtain’ marks a borderline case in Woolf’s oeuvre: small and big prose, between the realms of literature for grown-ups and children’s fiction, having a public and a private addressee. This liminal nature is reflected in the work’s central images of the town of Millamarchmontopolis and the animals who came to the lake to drink.
Robert Frost and his ‘A Servant to Servants’
Authors: Evdokimova E. V.
Published: February 2025

R. Frost’s dramatic monologue of ‘A Servant to Servants’ is the cornerstone of the collection ‘North of Boston,’ which propelled the poet to international fame. The poem, however, receives little attention from literary critics and remains somewhat unappreciated. Frost addresses a theme he finds important and may have private reasons to explore: human creativity, a force that creates but also destroys and can get out of control. In this sense, the author finds it appropriate to draw parallels between ‘A Servant to Servants’ and the famous ‘Birches,’ as well as ‘A Brook in the City,’ which features similar imagery. The article discusses Frost’s typical understatement as a principal choice, as well as the devices and ‘tricks’ of the text that enable him to entice ‘his’ reader and not discourage mass readership, who may be unprepared to appreciate the tragic quality of the depicted poetic world in its entirety. The world appears tragic indeed: to the poem’s heroine, the prospect of being committed to a psychiatric institution seems less of a hell than loneliness.

Published: February 2025

Technological advances bring new challenges for receptionists, such as Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and high social media engagement. This study aims to explore self-management strategies in dealing with FOMO challenges and increasing healthy social media engagement in the dormitory environment. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with 6 students who are included in the respondent criteria from the Strensains Islamic boarding school in the Sragen area. Data analysis was carried out using the NVIVO12 application and data use was carried out using the interactive data analysis model from Miles which consists of three stages, namely: coding, data reduction, data presentation and finally drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that students develop various effective self-management strategies. First, students try to maintain daily routines in training, such as worship, study, and other activities. Second, students limit the use of exercise and social media, which are the main sources of exposure to content that triggers FOMO. Third, students develop interests and hobbies outside of social media, such as sports, arts, or extracurricular activities. The findings of the study contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the psychological dynamics of students in dealing with digital challenges. The identified self-management strategies can be a model for other centers in managing social media use and preventing the negative impacts of FOMO. This study also provides practical implications for nurses in nursing homes in designing training programs that support centers in using social media wisely and enhancing healthy social engagement in the training environment.

The article describes the prolonged training and supervisory work with specialists of the psychosocial service of secondary education institutions in Vinnytsia using psychodrama methods. The aim of the project was to increase the educational potential of psychological and pedagogical staff of educational institutions in the implementation of inclusive education as part of organisational and methodological work.The events also aimed to introduce the psychodrama method and promote it among school psychosocial service professionals. That is why both well-known and original techniques were used, a brief description of which is given in the article.Exercise 1: "Stigma and disability". The purpose of the exercise is to draw the attention of psychosocial service professionals to the problem of stigmatisation of attitudes towards people with disabilities in schools and society as a whole, and to find ecological means for psychocorrectional work with it.Exercise 2: "Control and connections". The exercise was carried out in four stages and consistently drew attention to the peculiarities of personal control over the situation, social interaction, and the ability to create working groups and be effective in them. Reflection on this exercise helped the participants to better understand their psychological boundaries in the projection. The exercise also draws psychologists' attention to their own professional identity. Exercise 3: "Experience, ranks, achievements, places and people".The projection of this exercise is aimed at exploring the psychologist's own professional experience. The exercise helps to understand one's own place in the professional circle and to receive mutual support.Exercise 4: "Hat of Emotions, Hat of Logic".The exercise is a self-study of the peculiarities of the organisation and the correlation between the work of one's own functions of logic and emotional response to events. This exercise helps to deeply reflect on the personality.Conclusions. The use of the psychodrama method can be an effective tool in supervisory and educational work in the professional circle of psychologists.
PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS FOR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF FUTURE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS: EMOTIONAL, COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL DIMENSIONS
Authors: Shymanskyi Andrii
Published: February 2025

Psychological readiness for professional activity is a multidimensional category that integrates emotional, cognitive, and social aspects. It determines a healthcare professional's ability to function effectively under stress, quickly adapt to changing circumstances, and provide quality medical care, which is extremely important in today's conditions of full-scale war.
The article aims to analyse the psychological readiness of future healthcare professionals for professional activity through emotional, cognitive, and social dimensions and identify the key factors that contribute to its formation.
The article proposes a comprehensive approach to the psychological readiness of future healthcare professionals, which integrates emotional stability, cognitive competencies and social skills as key elements. The significance of each of these components in the context of modern challenges, such as stressful working conditions and increasing professional demands, is revealed, and the important role of psychological stability, self-awareness and emotional and volitional qualities in forming psychological readiness is determined.
Particular attention is paid to the gradual formation of psychological readiness, starting from the stage of study, adaptation to the educational environment, formation of professional identity and integration into real professional activity. The main characteristics of these stages are outlined, along with the aspects requiring development at each stage. Emphasis is placed on the harmonious development of all components that ensure high professional efficiency among healthcare professionals, even under the challenging conditions of contemporary realities.
The results obtained are of practical importance for developing training programmes for future healthcare professionals to develop their psychological readiness, which, in turn, will improve the quality of healthcare services.

Taking the practices of reindeer ear- and fur-marking in northern European Russia and Western Siberia as its primary focus, this article analyses modifications of informal “traditional” practices as a part of their appropriation by state institutions and highly bureaucratized state-owned enterprises. The practice of making and reading ear- and fur-marks is highly situated and workable only when embedded in a wider web of social communication. Analyzing three cases of the practice in formal institutions, we show that the modifications represent attempts to eliminate the situatedness and embeddedness of the practice. Some modifications can be explained by the attempt to extend the scope of the practice to the level of individuals, but this has made the practice unworkable without reference to special databases and is useless for reindeer herders.
Designing and Prototyping of a Hybrid Robotic Lawnmower

Published: February 2025

In this paper, the designing and prototyping of a hybrid robotic lawnmower is presented. The main system components required for functionality are briefly described. All parts of the system are selected in order to enable coordinated operation of electrical and mechanical components. Robotic lawnmower prototyping is preceded by a design process that consists of a phase of selecting the main components and CAD modeling of parts and components. The goal is to position components and parts of the chassis with maximum compactness. The main subsystems of the prototype, the differential drive configuration, and the hybrid subsystem with a belt transmission for starting the alternator and the lawnmower blade are shown. The parts of the subsystem were tested and the final testing of the robotic lawnmower in the case of remote control was carried out. This prototype was made with total costs many times lower than similar commercial robotic lawnmowers.

Modern agricultural production requires the use of agricultural machinery. Among all agricultural machines, the tractor is one of the most frequently used agricultural machines. In this paper, we perform a literature review and explore various safety hazards a tractor operator is exposed to. Next, we present the results of a work safety related survey we conducted in Osijek-Baranja and Vukovar-Srijem counties. We conclude the paper with a list of safety related observations we derived from our research.
USE OF ISSR MARKERS IN ASSESSMENT OF GENETIC DIVERSITY OF UKRAINIAN REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GENUS HERACLEUM

The genus Heracleum (hogweed) belongs to the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). Species of this genus have been introduced into many regions of the world as ornamental or fodder plants. The secondary distribution areas of invasive hogweed species often overlap with the distribution areas of aboriginal species of the genus. Today, three main invasive species of the genus Heracleum are distinguished in Europe: H. mantegazzianum Sommier & Levier, H. persicum Desf. ex Fisch. and H. sosnowskyi Manden., which demonstrate similarities at both the morphoanatomical and molecular levels. The identification and delimitation of species within the genus is further complicated by the phenomenon of interspecific hybridization, which significantly blurs the boundaries between them. These taxonomic problems can be successfully solved using molecular markers.
In this article, we present for the first time the results of using ISSR markers for representatives of the genus Heracleum from different regions to analyze genetic polymorphism and assess hybridization between invasive and aboriginal species in Ukraine. Plant samples were collected in different regions of Ukraine, as well as in Romania. In total, four genetic clusters were identified: two for invasive (H. mantegazzianum, H. sosnowskyi) and two for aboriginal (H. sphondylium, H. carpaticum) species. Genetic analysis showed that morphological criteria often do not allow unambiguous identification of these taxa.
The analysis of ISSR data confirm the possibility of interspecific hybridization in the genus Heracleum. The genetic structure of the samples showed significant similarity between two invasive species, H. mantegazzianum and H. sosnowskyi, that form the so-called “giant hogweed complex”. At the same time, the aboriginal species H. carpaticum Porcius and H. sphondylium L., despite their morphological similarity, turned out to be genetically different. The results obtained confirm the importance of using molecular markers to determine genetic structure, assess species status and study hybridization in complex taxonomic groups.

The aim of the study is to evaluate a coenotic diversity and to obtain a syntaxonomic scheme of the Uzh river drained floodplain area vegetation within territory of the Chornobyl Radiation and Ecological Biosphere Reserve as a basis for further monitoring and for evaluation of the renaturalization efforts. Dataset of 105 phytosociological relevés was analyzed by modified TWINSPAN protocol using Juice 7.1 software package. As a result of phytosociological survey, syntaxonomic scheme of the studied vegetation was established. In totall, 23 associations and 1 community belong to 18 alliances, 14 orders, and 9 classes were distinguished. Class Phragmito-Magnocaricetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941 is the most diverse (9 association). The mosaic distribution of plant communities is determined by the complexity of the geomorphological structure of the floodplain, complicated by anthropogenic elements (artificial channels, dams), which determines the development of different soil types (sands and sandy loams, alluvial deposits, muds, peats, etc.) and a sharp gradient of groundwater. The situation getting more complex by demutation changes followed after the cessation of land use activity.
Minerals-pigments in the collections of the Natural History Museum of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University

Published: February 2025

Today, minerals have a wide range of applications, among which the production of pigments holds a significant place. Green-colored minerals such as glauconite, celadonite, volkonskoite, and malachite are of particular interest. Paints based on natural minerals have played an important role in the development of global culture, especially in ecclesiastical art and iconography. In ancient times, artisans prepared paints from these pigments themselves, giving rise to names that may seem unusual to us but were familiar to them.

This topic remains relevant today, as evidenced by the abundance of scientific and popular publications on the subject. Moreover, modern technologies facilitate the creation of new types of paints from natural minerals. A valuable resource for visual study, research on mineral pigments, their geographical distribution, and formation conditions is the mineralogical collections, particularly those of the Geological-Geographical Department of the Natural History Museum of Chernivtsi National University.
