SCREEN CULTURE: THE ESSENCE AND PROSPECTS OF TRANSFORMATION
Authors:   V.I.Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, Gabrielyan O.A. , Suleimenov I.E. ,   National Academy of Engineering of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Published: October 2024

The article shows that at the present stage, the question of the need to transform screen culture into a new quality that meets the ideas of high art and has intellectual (including philosophical) saturation is particularly acute. It is proved that the basis of approaches that make it possible to make the transition to high screen culture can be the views of cultural figures of the Silver Age, in particular A.N.Scriabin, who proposed the concept of "Mystery" as a kind of synthetic action capable, among other things, of transforming human consciousness by means of art filled with philosophical content.From the point of view of general ideas about the evolution of society, this, among other things, corresponds to the use of resources at the transpersonal level of information processing. Currently, there is an opportunity to transform the ideas of A.N.Scriabin and his contemporaries, not only filling them with rational content, but also ensuring their implementation into cultural and pedagogical practice using modern information technologies.
MASS CULTURE: THE PURSUIT OF THE CONSUMER OR ITS PRODUCTION
Authors:   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Smirnov V.A.
Published: October 2024

This article examines the mechanism of the formation of mass culture as a necessary component of a consumer society. It is noted that such a society is generated by the needs of capital, which, for expanded reproduction, is forced to use all other institutions of society, including culture, as its resource. Mass culture, used to stimulate the continuous and steadily increasing demand for goods and services, strives to activate only those motives in a person’s need state that should lead them to the market. For this purpose, the entire spectrum of cultural products is used, from the cinema (one of the most powerful means of influencing mass consciousness) to children’s toys, which, despite their “innocence”, nevertheless also directly participate in the promotion of consumer habits, shaping children have a certain lifestyle, which they will be forced to reproduce when they become adults and enter the market. Thus, mass culture becomes a zealous “servant” of the business bloc of society, performing not so much an integrative function as acting as a purely marketing tool designed to form stable consumer patterns among the population, which will allow the capitalist cycle to be reproduced indefinitely.

Возрождение и развитие экономической элиты в процессе китайской модернизации: развитие социальной структуры и её особенности
Authors: Ли Ч. , Комендантов И.С.
Published: October 2024

В данном исследовании анализируются возникновение, эволюция и характеристики экономических элит в контексте модернизации китайского общества с акцентом на изменения в социальной структуре. После начала реформ и политики открытости китайское общество претерпело трансформацию от высокоцентрализованной структуры с преобладанием политической элиты к более сложной системе, включающей диверсифицированные экономические элиты. На основе марксистской теории классов, теории поля Пьера Бурдье и институционализма исследование систематически анализирует процесс Возрождения экономических элит и их социальные функции. Через исторический анализ, теоретическое обоснование и изучение конкретных примеров, статья подчеркивает значительную роль экономических элит в распределении социальных ресурсов, формировании институциональной среды и развитии социальной структуры. Выясняется, что экономические элиты формируются преимущественно двумя путями: через циркуляцию элит и их воспроизводство. Их социальная структура характеризуется расслоением и коммерциализацией интересов. В статье отмечается, что развитие экономических элит ограничено социалистической системой, однако оно также отражает эволюцию китайского общества к диверсифицированной структуре власти. Данное исследование предлагает новую перспективу для понимания мобильности социальных классов и социальной структуры в Китае, а также является значимым для анализа социальных конфликтов и моделей интересов в современном китайском обществе.

This study examines the emergence, evolution, and characteristics of economic elites within the context of Chinese societal modernization, focusing on changes in social structure. Following the initiation of reforms and the open-door policy, Chinese society transitioned from a highly centralized structure dominated by political elites to a more complex system incorporating diversified economic elites. Grounded in Marxist class theory, Pierre Bourdieu's field theory, and institutionalism, the research systematically analyzes the process of economic elite revival and their social functions. Through historical analysis, theoretical substantiation, and case studies, the article emphasizes the significant role of economic elites in the distribution of social resources, the formation of the institutional environment, and the development of social structure. The study reveals that economic elites are primarily formed through two mechanisms: elite circulation and reproduction. Their social structure is characterized by stratification and commercialization of interests. The article notes that while the development of economic elites is constrained by the socialist system, it also reflects the evolution of Chinese society towards a diversified power structure. This research offers a novel perspective for understanding social class mobility and social structure in China, and is significant for analyzing social conflicts and interest patterns in contemporary Chinese society.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Authors: Kurmanskyi A.O. , Kebkalo A.B.
Published: October 2024

Background. GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common problem among obese and overweight people, including as a complication of bariatric surgery, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG).

Aim. To conduct a retrospective analysis of the frequency of GERD in patients with morbid obesity after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Materials and Methods. In this retrospective study, data from 152 patients who underwent LSG were analyzed. All patients were diagnosed with morbid obesity and were deemed suitable for surgery. The minimum follow-up period was twelve months. All patients were assessed preoperatively for the severity of GERD using 24-hour pH monitoring, and upper gastrointestinal tract examination via FibroGastroDuodenoScopy (FGDS) to identify signs of reflux disease, esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus and GERD-HRQL (Health-Related Quality of Life) questionnaire.

Results. During the study, out of 152 patients without GERD (DeMeester Index (DMI) was 6.87±3.38), 23 (15.1%) of them within 12 months after LSG developed de novo GERD (DMI 9.12±8.87, p=0.04). In four patients with de novo GERD, esophagitis grade A was detected. The pathomechanism of GERD following LSG was multifactorial, caused by a combination of anatomical, physiological, and physical factors. Contributing factors included the shape of the sleeve, damage to the lower esophageal sphincter, and esophageal motility disorders.

Conclusions. LSG is effective in promoting weight loss, but poses a significant risk of developing GERD. Our study found a 15.1% incidence of GERD after LRH, which is lower than other studies, probably due to the routine use of 24-hour pH monitoring to identify patients with asymptomatic GERD. Anatomical changes due to LSG, in particular resection of the gastric fundus and dissection in the area of the angle of His, increase the temporary relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, contributing to the development of GERD.

Keywords: bariatric surgery, morbid obesity, GERD.
Diez años de políticas de acceso a la información pública y seguridad nacional en Latinoamérica: Una evaluación comparativa
Authors: L. Vercellone Adriana
Published: October 2024

El acceso a la información pública es ampliamente reconocido como un derecho básico en toda democracia. Sin embargo, convive con instaladas prácticas de secretismo, ya que asiduamente los gobiernos ocultan información para proteger la seguridad, la defensa nacional o sus relaciones de política exterior. Las políticas de transparencia sancionadas en los últimos años buscan conciliar ambos extremos: los derechos fundamentales sin avanzar sobre actividades de gobierno de las que depende la unidad estatal. En este artículo evaluamos comparativamente algunas reformas sobre el tema implementadas en países de Latinoamérica en los últimos diez años, tomando como punto de partida las recomendaciones y documentos emitidos por organismos internacionales y, fundamentalmente, los Principios de Tshwane acordados en 2013.
Una propuesta de ética pública en el siglo XIX: James Mill sobre el gobierno
Authors: Álvarez Gálvez Íñigo
Published: October 2024

En 1824, James Mill publicó sus trabajos sobre el go- bierno, la teoría del derecho y la libertad de prensa en la Enciclopedia Británica, en los que propone varias medidas para garantizar un buen gobierno. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar la propuesta que hace Mill como una contribución importante para el debate sobre la ética pública en la Inglaterra del primer tercio del siglo XIX. Su propuesta puede parecer hoy obvia, y su argumentación deficiente, pero no podemos olvidar que esas ideas que hoy damos por supuestas fueron el resultado de una conquista lenta que supuso años de luchas, con avances y retrocesos. El movimiento reformista involucró a varias personas (J. Bentham, F. Place, G. Grote, J. Parkes, entre otros) y se extendió a diversos ámbitos. Mill fue una de estas personas, y merece ser recordado y reconocido como uno de los pioneros en la lucha por la ética pública.

Comprehensive investigations on defects’ stability caused lateral charge loss in Ti-doped 3D NAND
Authors: Wang Fei , Yu Hongchen , Lv Xue , Wang Zhicheng
Published: October 2024

The comprehensive investigations on defects’ stability caused lateral charge loss are investigated in Ti-doped 3D NAND. The detailed study shows that the Ti-doping strategy could reduce pre-existing shallow traps in pure Si3N4. The stability of TiSi and Tii defects are observed under program/erase stress, but unstable TiN defects with shallow-trap levels (0.41 eV) also occur. Based on unstable defects, the device simulations are carried out revealing its effects on lateral charge loss, which indicates that TiN defects should be reduced for reliability. Our results strongly suggest the stability of Ti-related defects could be key points for lateral charge loss.

Letters play a crucial role in learning nahwu (Arabic syntax) to understand Arabic grammar, particularly in meaning analysis. Previous studies, such as those by Al-Khatib, examined the role of prepositions (huruf jar) in Arabic syntax, while Al-Jundi explored how these letters affect the grammatical status of verbs and sentence meaning. This article analyzes the meanings of huruf al-‘amilah (governing letters) concerning those governing a single noun (huruf tujarru ism wahid) and their influence on legal conclusions in Bulughul Maraam: Bab Thaharah by Al-Hafidz Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqolaani, a book containing hadiths on Islamic legal principles. The study aims to: 1) Identify the meanings of huruf ‘amilah in Bulughul Maraam: Bab Thaharah; and 2) Determine the influence of these meanings on legal conclusions in the book. Using a library research method with a descriptive approach, data was collected through documentation and analyzed through classification, content analysis, and conclusion. The results show that the letter "al-ba’" in Bulughul Maraam: Bab Thaharah has 10 meanings: 1) Instrument, 2) Accompaniment, 3) Addition, 4) Place/time, 5) Part of a whole, 6) Exchange, 7) Attachment to action, 8) Direction, 9) Cause, and 10) Action. These meanings influence legal conclusions in 20 hadiths.

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMCC) is a rare histological subtype of invasive breast cancer, its frequency ranges from 1.0 to 8.4% of all breast cancer cases. It is identified as a particularly aggressive tumor since frequent invasion of vessels, skin and lymph nodes is often reported. The aim of the work is to describe and compare the epidemiological, clinical, anatomopathological and molecular aspects of CMPI compared to CINS. Compare the overall survival of the two groups in order to identify the prognostic factors for CMPI. This is a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study spread over 6 years from January 2015 to December 2020, involving all cases of CMPI and CINS of the breast collected at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of the Maternity and Neonatology Center of Monastir. The frequency found was 5.5% for CMPI and 72.69% for CINS. In our series we found the average age to be more advanced in CINS compared to CMPI without having a statistically significant difference (p=0.49). CMPI tends to be slightly larger than CINS with an average size of 3.7 compared to 3 for CINS. The right breast was the predominant tumor site for the 2 types of cancer p=0.71. CMPI presents a higher frequency of locoregional ADP and vascular emboli with p=0.001. Distant metastases were more frequent in CINS but without having a statistically significant difference. The overall survival of CMPI is 76% versus 86.4%. % of CINS. CMPI represents a particular variety of breast carcinomas; in this study we tried to dissect its different epidemiological, clinical, radiological and therapeutic characteristics which were largely in agreement with the literature.

Published: October 2024

Background: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a kidney disease with high incidence, typically in young children. NS is a disease of relapse, and it is a major problem to manage the cases with relapse. So, it is very important to find out such children who are prone to develop relapse. Hence, this study was carried out to find out the risk factors of relapse in children with NS. Objective: To determine the risk factors of relapse in patients with nephrotic syndrome. Methods: This case-control study was conducted at the Department of Paediatric Nephrology and Department of Paediatrics, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, for 12- months following ethical approval. A total of 100 NS children (age: 2-12 years) were enrolled in this study, among them 50 were cases (NS with relapse) and 50 were controls (initial attack of NS with no relapse within one year of disease onset). After obtaining written informed consent from parents/legal guardian, a detailed history, thorough clinical examination and necessary investigations were carried out in each patient during initial episode of NS. Data analysis was done by SPSS 26.0. Results: Mean age of the cases and controls was6.11±3.01years and 6.96±3.14years, respectively (p=0.169), with an overall boys-girl ration of 1.3:1. Maximum cases (56.0%) had infrequent relapse. Lower age of onset was prevalent among case group than control (31.96±15.15 months vs 46.48±27.76 months; p=0.002). Infection was significantly more prevalent among cases than controls (68.0% vs 38.0%; OR=3.46; p=0.003), UTI (38.0% vs 10.0%; OR; 5.52; p=0.001). Cases had significantly higher history of atopy (52.0% vs 30.0%; OR=2.53; p=0.025). Higher serum cholesterol (441.62±61.46 mg/dL vs 389.12±72.18 mg/dL; <0.001) and lower serum albumin (15.74±2.20 gm/L vs 17.30±2.99 gm/L; p=0.004) were seen in cases than control. Conclusion: Lower age of onset, history of atopy, infection, higher serum cholesterol and lower serum albumin level during initial attack were associated .......

Published: October 2024

In today's clinical practice, the importance of a thorough clinical examination of the patient is emphasised in the article. There are 2 real-world instances of diagonal earlobe creases, commonly referred to as Frank's sign. The patients in both cases have ischemic heart disease, however they differ in terms of age and Frank's sign severity. Data from the literature are presented regarding the frequency of Frank's disease in various population groups, as well as its clinical importance and potential underlying pathophysiological causes. In the medical literature, the diagonal ear lobe crease (DELC) is termed as a substitute sign that can detect high-risk individuals with hidden atherosclerosis. However, there hasn't been any research on this subject in the dentistry or medical literature. Most clinical, angiography, and postmortem data are in favour of the idea that DELC is a useful extravascular physical marker that can determine individuals who are at risk of dying from coronary artery atherosclerosis. Some research findings have failed to support the theory linking DELC to certain health conditions. However, recent studies utilizing B mode ultrasonography have indicated a connection between DELC and the development of carotid artery atherosclerosis. Another study has also associated DELC with the existence of calcified carotid artery atheromas visible on panoramic radiographs. Notably, DELC is highly noticeable on head and neck oncology screening examinations. When the patient's vital signs, medical examination, and panoramic radiograph are combined, the results are DELC can aid to assess the patient's risk of atherosclerosis.

It is generally perceived that learners being taught for years are found inefficient tofonnulate, develop and understand the practical problems at their workplace (BBS, 2018 cited in Tuhin. 2018; Fayaaz, Danish & Hassan, 2019; Neazy, 2019). Not surprisingly, much of these skills are already categorized as higher-order thinking (after this NOV skills in Bloom (1956) & Original Taxonomy (hereafter 07) and the widely accepted Revised Taxonomy (henceforth RT) provided by Anderson (2001). Students and graduates interviewed for HEQEP (Higher Education Quality Enhancement Project) report 2018 identified their ability to communicate in English as the second most important skill to be acquired by a graduate (p.9). While the employers, interviewed at the same, shared that the two basic skills that they consider when hiring a graduate am academic qualification and cognitive skills (p. 12). The recent World Bank report (2019) also stated that only a handful of private universities are experimenting with courses to provide HOT and soft skills among students (p.40). The current paper, therefore, took on the task to investigate the taxonomic value of the existing course objectives and question papers, offered for the first-semester students offspring 2019 at an English department purposively, based on the framework provided by Krathwohl (2002) in order to identify the cognitive range. The findings suggest the scope officer insight required from the academia for enhanced cognitive ability at teaching, learning, and assessment which will amplify English literacy among our graduates.

Objective.
To determine the level of knowledge of doctors on the rational use of antimicrobial drugs in clinical practice and to compare with data of the previous stage of the study and results obtained from students in a parallel project.

Materials and Methods.
A multicenter questionnaire survey of practitioners with analysis of results – stage of KANT project (full name of the project – «Physicians’ (Students’) knowledge in antimicrobials usage») conducted in 2020–2023.

Results.
A total of 336 participants were surveyed in 5 centers (10 Russian regions: Belgorod, Novosibirsk, Rostov, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Sakhalin, Primorsky, Krasnodar, and Krasnoyarsk regions, Republic of Tatarstan). The average level of correct answers (LCA) for the whole questionnaire was 47.5% (taking into account the extended analysis of sub-items questions No. 8 and 9 – 46.8%). Doctors showed the best results in answering questions about the time interval during which the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy is evaluated (LCA – 84.2%); about choosing the most rational action if antimicrobial therapy (AMT) has a positive clinical effect, but requires a long course of therapy (LCA – 72.6%); selection of rational diagnostic/treatment action in the diagnosis of acute tonsillitis or pharyngitis, in a case where etiologic diagnosis is required (LCA – 63.1%). The worst results were recorded in answering to the following questions: indication of the antimicrobial drug of choice in the treatment of various infections (LCA – 29.1%); the choice of auxiliary drugs in addition to the justified appointment of antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of bacterial infections of the respiratory tract for the entire period of the disease or in certain phases (LCA – 26.6% – 35.1%); indication of a combination of antimicrobial drugs that is irrational to prescribe in clinical practice due to a similar mechanism and/or spectrum of activity against pathogens (LCA – 24.4%). Significant differences were found between centers in a number of questions, between physicians in KANT-III and KANT-IV projects (p < 0.001), and between physicians and students in a parallel project (KANT-IV students, LCA – 42.6%, p < 0.001).

Conclusions.
An unsatisfactory level of physicians’ knowledge of AMT and choice of adjuvant agents, as well as appropriateness of antimicrobial combination was found. The authors believe there is a need for making more efforts in areas of increasing physicians’ compliance to clinical recommendations, expertise and quality control of pharmacotherapy, recruitment of clinical pharmacologists; to optimize the educational process in universities, to expand the scope and availability of additional educational programs within the system of continuous education, as well as to train physicians in using modern sources of scientific medical information.

In the evolving landscape of cloud computing, scalable microservices have emerged as a pivotal architecture for developing distributed systems. This approach facilitates the decomposition of applications into smaller, independently deployable services, allowing for greater agility and scalability. This paper explores the essential principles of microservices architecture, highlighting its advantages over monolithic systems, such as improved fault isolation, enhanced scalability, and streamlined continuous integration and deployment processes. We examine the key design patterns and technologies that support microservices, including containerization, orchestration, and service discovery. Additionally, the role of cloud platforms in enabling microservices is analyzed, focusing on how they provide the infrastructure necessary for dynamic resource allocation and automated scaling.
The paper also addresses the challenges associated with implementing microservices in distributed environments, such as inter-service communication, data consistency, and security concerns. Solutions for these challenges, including API gateways and circuit breakers, are discussed. Through case studies and practical examples, we demonstrate how organizations can leverage scalable microservices to enhance operational efficiency and accelerate time-to-market for new features and services. Ultimately, this study emphasizes that adopting scalable microservices in cloud-based distributed systems is not merely a technological shift but a strategic imperative for businesses seeking to innovate and remain competitive in the digital age. By fostering an adaptable and resilient architecture, organizations can better meet the demands of modern applications and customer expectations.

This research paper proposes a comprehensive framework for integrating advanced database security techniques in Oracle environments to address emerging security threats and compliance challenges. The study focuses on implementing a multi-layered security strategy that combines data encryption, role-based access control (RBAC), Oracle Database Vault, dynamic data masking, and real-time monitoring using Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall (AVDF). The framework is designed to safeguard sensitive data, prevent unauthorized access, mitigate insider threats, and ensure compliance with regulations such as GDPR and PCI DSS.
To validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a case study was conducted in a controlled Oracle database environment that simulates real-world conditions. The security techniques were evaluated based on their ability to mitigate common attack vectors, such as SQL injection, privilege escalation, and data leakage, while minimizing performance overhead. Results showed that the integrated framework achieved a 94% overall security score, effectively preventing unauthorized access and providing robust protection against both external and internal threats. However, performance testing revealed that certain techniques, such as dynamic data masking and machine learning-based anomaly detection, introduced notable overhead, increasing query response time by up to 25%.

Today, Android is one of the most used operating systems in smartphone technology. This is the main reason, Android has become the favorite target for hackers and attackers. Malicious codes are being embedded in Android applications in such a sophisticated manner that detecting and identifying an application as a malware has become the toughest job for security providers. In terms of ingenuity and cognition, Android malware has progressed to the point where they're more impervious to conventional detection techniques. Approaches based on machine learning have emerged as a much more effective way to tackle the intricacy and originality of developing Android threats. They function by first identifying current patterns of malware activity and then using this information to distinguish between identified threats and unidentified threats with unknown behavior. This research paper uses Reverse Engineered Android applications’ features and Machine Learning algorithms to find vulnerabilities present in Smartphone applications. Our contribution is twofold. Firstly, we propose a model that incorporates more innovative static feature sets with the largest current datasets of malware samples than conventional methods. Secondly, we have used ensemble learning with machine learning algorithms such as AdaBoost, SVM, etc. to improve our model's performance. Our experimental results and findings exhibit 96.24% accuracy to detect extracted malware from Android applications, with a 0.3 False Positive Rate (FPR). The proposed model incorporates ignored detrimental features such as permissions, intents, API calls, and so on, trained by feeding a solitary arbitrary feature, extracted by reverse engineering as an input to the machine.

With the rapid advancement in digital technology, ensuring data security has become paramount, particularly in image transmission and storage. This paper proposes a method for securing data within images using cryptographic hashing (SHA - Secure Hash Algorithm) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) is utilized to generate a fixed-length hash value from the input data. This hash value is unique to the input data and is nearly impossible to reverse-engineer. By embedding this hash value into the image, we can ensure data integrity, as any alterations to the image will be detected by recalculating the hash value. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is employed for key generation and encryption. ECC offers smaller key sizes compared to other encryption algorithms, making it particularly suitable for constrained environments like images. The sender generates an ECC key pair: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. The data is encrypted using the public key and embedded into the image To further enhance security, the hash value generated by SHA can also be encrypted using ECC before embedding it into the image. This ensures that even if an attacker intercepts the image, they cannot tamper with the hash value. The proposed method provides robust data security within images, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in securing data within images against various attacks.
The roles of GLUT5 in cancer progression, metastasis, and drug resistance

Published: October 2024

Emerging evidence has suggested that high fructose intake, particularly from added sugars and processed foods, is associated with increased cancer risk and progression. The fructose intake is believed to be mediated by the abnormal expression of glucose transporter 5 (GLUT5), the specific fructose transporter in cancer cells. The GLUT5-regulated fructose metabolism has shown to greatly affect cancer progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. This review aims to synchronize the current knowledge to highlight the underlying mechanisms of those impacts and understand the therapeutic potential of GULT5. First, we review the fructose metabolism and its alteration in cancer cells by comparing with glucose metabolism. Subsequently, the key contributors or biological pathways involved in GLUT5-asosociated tumor growth, cancer metastasis, and drug resistance are discussed. The contributions of specific pathways, metabolites, and key enzymes from the fructose metabolism process are also covered, such as enhanced glycolysis for tumor growth, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis for cancer metastasis, and efflux pump expression and activation of survival pathways for cancer drug resistance. The detailed analysis of these mechanisms will allow further understanding of the therapeutic potential of GLUT 5-mediated fructose metabolism in cancer therapy. In particular, targeting GLUT 5 and its-associated processes in fructose metabolism may offer promising strategies for improving cancer treatment outcomes through dietary interventions, specific GLUT5 inhibitors, or in combination.

This study presents a seminal contribution regarding the economic value of indigenous seasonal weather forecasts in Zimbabwe. Many farmers (58%) use indigenous seasonal weather forecasts to make maize farming decisions such as selecting suitable varieties. The main indicators used for indigenous seasonal weather forecasts are flowering and fruition of specific trees. Based on travel cost analysis, which incorporates a multi-purpose visit scenario, the study establishes the economic importance of indigenous seasonal weather forecasts with a consumer surplus of US$1,044 per year among the 290 farmers using the forecasts. There is therefore a need to integrate indigenous weather forecasts into national seasonal weather forecasting and disaster risk reduction systems to complement modern seasonal weather forecasts. Co-production of seasonal weather forecasts with farmers is proposed in this regard. This further calls for the need to digitally document, visualize, and disseminate indigenous seasonal weather forecast indicators to a wider audience to increase their use.

Der finnische Altmeister der Verschmelzung von Theorie und Geschichte des Völkerrechts hat als fast Siebzigjähriger sein opus magnum vorgelegt. Mit diesem Buch will er hauptsächlich den Wandel des Völkerrechts als System zwischenstaatlicher Normen vom ungesetzten
universalen ius gentium des späten Mittelalters zum gesetzten globalen internationalen öffentlichen Recht des 19. Jahrhunderts im Spiegel der Theorie analysieren. Nebenbei will er auch die Transformation der Modalitäten der Legitimation staatlicher Herrschaft als Faktor
des Wandels der Wechselbeziehungen zwischen staatlicher Herrschaft und zwischenstaatlicher Machtausübung bestimmen (S. 10 f.). Das Buch bietet, wie Koskenniemi einleitend feststellt, keine Geschichte des Völkerrechts (S. 1), sondern soll auf die folgenden Leitfragen
antworten: Wie wurden die Native Americans zwischen dem frühen 16. und dem spätem 19. Jahrhundert rechtlich kategorisiert? Wie wurde Krieg zwischen höchste Herrschaft tragenden Personen und Institutionen in derselben Zeitspanne rechtlich bestimmt? Wie antwortete die Rechtswissenschaft
auf den sich ausbreitenden Fernhandel mit Luxusgütern, der etablierte religiös fundierte Morallehren in Frage stellte? (S. 2) Die Leitfragen verengen den Inhalt des Buchs gegenüber dem globalgeschichtlich formulierten Titel auf die Bedingungen der Errichtung und Erhaltung
europäischer Kolonialherrschaft in Amerika und suggerieren die Erwartung, dass Gegenstand des Werks die Globalisierung des europäischen Völkerrechts als Folge der Ausbreitung europäischer Kolonialherrschaft sei. Andere Teile der Welt, die unter europäische Kolonialherrschaft
gerieten, figurieren nicht oder nicht in gleicher Breite; Südasien ist Gegenstand nur eines Kapitels, Ostasien wird lediglich gestreift, Afrika und der Südpazifik kommen nicht zur Sprache.
