Authors:   Orenburg state university, Orenburg, Russia, Bykova A.S. , Sakharova N.S. ,   Orenburg State University, Orenburg, Russia
Published: October 2023

Nowadays, in the era of variability and information saturation there is a need in training a new type of specialists who have supra-professional competencies and soft skills. Being the key ones, soft skills are divided into three groups: cognitive, activity and communicative skills. Moreover, the essential features of soft skills were highlighted. Theoretical analysis of the scientific literature allowed us to say that soft skills and supra-professional competencies have the following similar characteristics: flexibility and high adaptability to rapidly changing conditions; values and motives that are fundamental; goal-setting and striving to achieve goals; universality; the presence of acquired knowledge, life experience and acquired skills. Info-communication skills are identified as a unity of communication skills and the ability to work with information. These skills are the basis of supra-professional skills due to the category “information”, which is the basis of these skills. The structure of info-communication skills has been suggested, which consists of foreign language, information and communication skills. Summarizing the results of the study, soft skills serve as a basis for developing supra-professional competencies, which is an effective way of organizing a person into a professionally significant activity. In this regard, info-communication skills are considered to be the most important ones for developing supra-professional competencies at the present time.

Authors:   Buryat State University, Ulan-Ude, Russia, Dubanov A. A.
Published: October 2023

This article proposes for consideration geometric models of target evasion from a pursuer moving in a straight line and uniformly. In geometric models, it is assumed that the pursuer has a detection area. The following models of the detection area were considered: circular, sector and angular. The target is initially on the line of sight and tends to leave the place of probable detection along the optimal trajectory. The issues of the minimum distance from the pursuer, when it will still be possible to leave the detection area, are considered. Note that adaptive behavior on the part of the pursuer was not modeled. Based on the results of the article, animated images were made, where you can see the process of evading the target from the pursuer.

Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Omsk, Russia, Biryukov S. V. , Tyukina L. V ,   Omsk State Technical University, Omsk, Russia
Published: October 2023

In this research a comparative analysis of double and twin sensors of electric field strength is presented. The design and technological parameters of the sensor and its metrological characteristics are chosen for comparison. The complexity of the sensor measuring circuits is evaluated. The analysis showed that the sensors are equal in design and technological parameters. The difference is traced on metrological characteristics and relative complexity of measuring circuits. According to metrological characteristics, dual sensors are significantly superior to twin sensors. So, for the best structural parameters of a dual sensor with angular sizes of sensitive elements 46,380 and 900, an error from inhomogeneity of a field does not exceed ±2.76 % in all spatial range [0;1]. For the same error, dual sensors can be used only in the limited spatial measurement range [0;0.89]. In terms of measurement circuit complexity, double sensors are inferior to twin sensors. However, the metrological superiority of twin sensors allows us to conclude that it is reasonable to use them.

Potential of auxin and ACC-deaminase producing rhizobia and PGPR-strains was examined to improve soybean growth individually and in combination with L-tryptophan (L-TRP) in two different experiments conducted in a growth chamber. A consortium of selected PGPR and rhizobial strains was prepared by following the compatibility test. These bacteria were also evaluated for improving soybean growth along with different levels of L-TRP. Bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere and nodules of soybean, and characterized in vitro for their production of ACC-deaminase and auxin. We observed that auxin production for rhizobia and rhizobacteria ranged from 14 to 39 and 2 to 48 µg IAA equivalents mL-1, respectively. Similarly, the ACC-deaminase production potential of rhizobia and rhizobacteria ranged between 0.024 to 3.252 and 0.178 to 3.188 μM α-ketobutyrate μg-1 protein h-1, respectively. In addition, among the different L-TRP levels, 10-3 M was found to be the most significant level. The soybean growth attributes such as shoot length (46 and 30%), root length (42 and 39%), fresh biomass (33 and 34%) and dry biomass (44 and 27%) were increase to the maximum by the inoculation of ‘IRS-13’ and ‘PS-2’ in the presence of 10-3 M L-TRP compared to the uninoculated control. Similarly, in the context of consortium application, the inoculation with bacterial consortium “IRS13-PS1” along with 10-4 M TRP led to maximum increment in shoot length (104%), root length (74%), shoot fresh and dry weights (179 and 138%), shoot and root dry weights (98 and 260%) and fresh weight as well as dry plant biomass (87.5 and 117%) compared to the control. We concluded that PGPR-rhizobial consortium in combination with L-TRP @ 10-4 M can effectively improve soybean growth under axenic conditions.

Published: October 2023

Conocer los requerimientos germinativos de especies nativas y los factores ambientales que los controlan permite comprender la dinámica de las comunidades vegetales y respaldar programas de restauración. Los disturbios pueden alterar esas dinámicas al afectar el ambiente y la abundancia de los organismos que lo habitan. La recuperación del ambiente disturbado depende de las características de las especies involucradas en el proceso de sucesión ecológica. Cabe esperar que los tipos sucesionales de especies (i.e., colonizadoras, intermedias y tardías) tengan requerimientos para germinar y características fisiológicas distintas que les permiten cumplir sus roles en el proceso de sucesión. En este trabajo se evaluaron los requerimientos germinativos de diez especies nativas del Monte Patagónico clasificadas según su rol en la sucesión ecológica. Se estudiaron las condiciones que mejoran las tasas de germinación (i.e., porcentaje y tiempo de germinación) sometiendo a las semillas a diferentes tratamientos (C=control, E=escarificación, F=estratificación, O=oscuridad, R=remojo en agua, CA=calor, y sus combinaciones). Como se esperaba, los tipos sucesionales de especies respondieron diferente a los tratamientos germinativos. Las especies colonizadoras no presentan dormancia, ya que el tratamiento control germinó más que en el resto de los tratamientos. Las intermedias germinaron más rápido y en mayor cantidad con la escarificación, aunque el control también obtuvo una germinación similar. Las tardías presentaron mecanismos de dormancia, y la combinación de remojo en agua con oscuridad y estratificación fría húmeda fue el tratamiento de mayor germinación. Las colonizadoras e intermedias serían las más adecuadas para proyectos de restauración ecológica, ya que poseen mayores tasas de germinación y crecimiento, lo que promueve una cobertura vegetal rápida. Estas estrategias germinativas, que dependen de los tipos sucesionales de especies, son una contribución valiosa para acelerar la sucesión y desarrollar estrategias de restauración ecológica.
Lewis Acid-Base Chemistry in the Group 4: Complexation and Disproportionation of Metal Alkoxy Halides
Authors: Seno Carlotta , Pokratath Rohan , Van den Eynden Dietger , Prescimone Alessandro , De Roo Jonathan
Published: October 2023

Lewis acid-base adducts are a cornerstone of chemistry. Group 4 Lewis acids are well-known catalysts and precursors for (non-aqueous) sol-gel chemistry. Here, we investigate the interaction of Lewis bases with metal tetrahalides (MX4, M = Ti, Zr, Hf and X = Cl, Br) and metal alkoxy halides (MXx(OR)4-x, x = 1-3, R = OiPr, OtBu). Complexation with Lewis base ligands yields the simple Lewis acid-base adduct MX4L2 (L = tetrahydrofuran or triphenylphosphine oxide). Analysis via single-crystal XRD shows that the cis or trans configuration of the Lewis bases is determined by their steric bulk and the nature of the metal halide. The interaction with mixed alkoxy halides is more complex. 31P NMR spectroscopy reveals that excess of phosphine oxide yields predominantly the complexation product, while a substoichiometric amount of phosphine oxide causes disproportionation of the MXx(OR)4-x species into MXx+1(OR)3-x and MXx-1(OR)5-x. The combination of complexation and disproportionation yields an atypical Job plot. In the case of zirconium isopropoxy chlorides, we fitted the concentration of all observed species and extracted thermodynamic descriptors from the Job plot. The complexation equilibrium constant decreases in the series; ZrCl3(OiPr) > ZrCl2(OiPr)2 > ZrCl(OiPr)3, while the disproportionation equilibrium constant follows the opposite trend. Using calculations at the DFT level of theory, we show that disproportionation is driven by the more energetically favourable Lewis acid-base complex formed with the more acidic species. The disproportionation reaction turns out to be a general phenomenon, for titanium, zirconium and hafnium, for chlorides and bromides and for iso-propoxides and tert-butoxides.

Published: October 2023

Magmatic formations of various ages are developed within the northern part of the Circumpolar Urals, the oldest peripheral part of the Ural belt. Including the Late-Riphean-Vendian granitoids of the salner-mankhambov intrusive complex, which includes the Badiayu granite massif. The conducted research allowed us to identify a number of petrographic and petrogeochemical features of the granites under consideration. The analysis of rock-forming minerals, which are a typical set for granites, with the help of a polarization microscope allowed us to determine the characteristic structures of the rock, to identify the presence of plagioclases and biotites of two generations, to detect partial substitution of quartz with a granular variety. The data of the silicate method allowed us to establish that the studied rock is characterized by an increased content of silica, the main alkali metals, and a very high alumina content. ICP-MS method data and their normalization with respect to S. S. San chondrite and the hypothetical plagiogranite COX showed that the rocks were formed from crustal-type melts saturated with rare-earth, as well as individual lithophilic elements (rubidium, barium). According to the diagnostic diagrams of J. A. Pierce, D. Papu, N. B. Harris, the formation of the studied massif occurred in the conditions of an intraplate geodynamic situation.

Published: October 2023

Tuna viscera as a common waste product from the tuna processing industry contributes to
environmental pollution. The effects were determined of peptide fractions and amino acids
on the antioxidant properties of protein hydrolysate from tuna viscera. We converted this
waste into protein hydrolysate, a high added-value product, using autolysis. Tuna protein
hydrolysate was fractionated by ultrafiltration into four fractions (>10 kDa, 5–10 kDa, 1–5
kDa and <1 kDa) and each was examined for its antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABTS,
FRAP and metal chelating) and amino acids composition. The MW and amino acids of the
tuna protein hydrolysate peptide fractions were not directly correlated with DPPH radical
scavenging activity and metal chelating. The ABTS radical scavenging activity and ferric
reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of the 1–5 kDa fraction were higher than for the other
fractions. The tuna protein hydrolysate peptide fractions contributed to antioxidant activity
and should be used to their full advantage by the nutritional and food industries

The diazotization reaction of o-trifluoromethyl aniline from aromatic amines with 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione was studied, as a result, 2-(2-(o-trifluoromethylphenyl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1 ,3-dione (THDCD) was synthesized and its structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The solid state assembly is stabilized by numerous intermolecular interactions which are deeply probed by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The enrichment ratio was computed for getting the contact with the highest propensity to form crystal packing interaction. The mechanical response of the crystal is predicted by voids analysis. Moreover, interaction energy calculations were performed at HF/3-21G electron density model to further inspect the supramolecular assembly of the crystal. DFT calculation was conducted using B3LYP level with 6–311++G(d, p) basic set with the help of Gaussian 09W and GaussView 6.0 packages. MEP surface, HOMO-LUMO orbitals, and NBO theory were analyzed via DFT approach. Theoretical method confirms the proposed geometry of THDCD by X-ray analysis.

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) cases are rising due to community efforts to eliminate mosquito nests. This impacts how people act. Community educators known as "Jumantik cadres" are using the YARSI University DHF Counseling Mobile Application. This app was created by YARSI University researchers in 2019-2020 and was introduced in Ciseeng village on July 29, 2021. Fifteen cadres learned to use it both online and offline. They were tested with surveys about DHF knowledge. Results showed limited understanding after using the app (e.g. only 13.3% understood headaches, 40% knew about nausea). Interviews also helped understand app use. Interestingly, 40% knew about the Aedes aegypti mosquito's life cycle. Some wrong ideas persisted (26.7% thought birds' drinking spots couldn't breed mosquitoes, and 53.3% understood mosquito bites). The YARSI app was liked for being easy to use. It helps Jumantik cadres educate and increase awareness about DHF. By using this app, they can share knowledge and fight against DHF more effectively.
The figure of the narrator as a way to create a “documentary” plot in the historical plays-parables by E. Radzinsky
Authors: Zhurcheva O. V.
Published: October 2023

The article studies the peculiarities of dramatic narration in E. Radzinsky’s plays-parables. Modern theater and dramaturgy strive to reflect the qualitative changes in representative forms and their potential stage possibilities. One of these forms is the reception of dramatic narration, when the event that is being shown is replaced by the event that is being told about. This technique is actively used by the playwright E. Radzinsky in his historical plays-parables “Conversations with Socrates”, “Lunin, or the Death of Jacques”, “Theater of the Times of Nero and Seneca”, “The Executioner, or Conversations on the Way to the Guillotine”. Despite the fact that the plot is based on a documentary (or pseudo-documentary) text: the story of the life and execution of Socrates, described by Plato; “Moral Letters” to Lucilius (procurator of Sicily) by Seneca; “Letters from Siberia” by Mikhail Lunin; “Notes of an Executioner” by Charles Henri Sanson, the famous executioner during the era of the Great French Revolution, the play has a setting for oral speech. The playwright uses various techniques in constructing a plot to introduce this kind of a narrator into the text. The protagonist acts as a narrator, his position, the system of evidence, the testimony that the narrator uses – all these create an attitude of authenticity, the semblance of documentarity.
Authorial notes to the text: an artistic device or an ego-document?
Authors: Sapchenko L. A.
Published: October 2023

Based on the authorial notes to the “Letters of a Russian Traveler” by N. Karamzin, who separated “poetry” from “truth”, the article considers the following questions: how to determine the aesthetic nature of the notes; how they are connected with the change of literary trends, genres and styles, with the communicative function of verbal art, how the artistry of notes is formed; whether they are an integral part of the work; whether the author of the notes and the author of the main text are identical. We emphasize that Karamzin’s notes should be analyzed, first of all, in terms of his attitude to the problem of “literature and reality”, since for him authenticity was more important than artistry. The writer enters not into an artistically mediated, but into a direct dialogue with the reader, in order to gain his understanding and trust, to convince him of the veracity of what is described, while revealing a new level of understanding of what happened earlier. The article investigates the dynamics of the relationship between the notes and the main text. The special arrangement of the notes, the temporal and spatial distance separating them from the main text is interpreted as the evidence of their heterogeneity. We note the differences in their status: the main text, in principle, can exist and be perceived by the reader without the notes, albeit in a flawed form, while the publication of the notes in isolation from the main text is meaningless. The article highlights that it is in the literature of sentimentalism and, in particular, in Karamzin’s works, that a specific artistic quality of notes is developed in the form of a dialogue with an imaginary reader. The conclusion is made about the referential function of the authorial notes: in the “Letters of a Russian Traveler” they link literature and reality, the world of images and the real world, which is characterized by “its selective affinity” with the world of fiction.
Psychological aspect in the novel “The Gap of Time” by Jeanette Winterson
Authors: Khatskevich T. M.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the cover version of Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale”, the focus is on the psychological aspect including psychological theories the reader faces in the novel. The origin of the trauma and the necessity of working through it are easily perceived through the perspective of the psychological aspect in the text. The trauma is in the direct proportion to new role behavior models. According to J. Winterson’s work, temporal and spatial characteristics are inextricably bound up with the trauma issue. The main part of the novel is concentrated on the most important problem of working through grief. Beyond that, there are more questions of significance, for instance, Leo’s ambivalence which affects his personhood and adult life. The novel includes the case of addictive love, which is commonly observed nowadays. Much of the plot involves the analysis of the feelings of guilt and an obsessive-compulsive disorder. There is an allusion to the Oedipus complex: both in the literary work and in the psychological theory. J. Winterson uses A. Aron’s Quiz to describe the characters’ relationships. The “separation” process is analyzed throughout the story of the novel.
A. Akhmetgalieva 's creativity in the mirror of the achievements of Russian and Tatar prose writers of the beginning of the XXI century
Authors: Khusaenova R. R. , Gaynyllina G. R. , Nagumanova E. F.
Published: October 2023

This article examines Tatar and Russian modern prose characterized by transitional features. The main attention is paid to the works by the Tatar writer Aigul Akhmetgalieva whose work most vividly embodies transitional phenomena in Tatar literature at the beginning of the 21st century. In particular, the authors of the article focus on her stories “Kapka” (“The Gate”), “Tan chyklaryn җil ubu” (“The Wind Kisses the Morning Dew”) and the novel “Tutash”. The purpose of the article is to review new trends in Tatar prose and identify the common features in modern Tatar and Russian literature. The motif of search in Tatar prose correlates with the existential component of consciousness in Russian culture as a whole. Both Russian and Tatar prose follow the trend of profound philosophical subtext and the introduction of new writing techniques. The analysis of Akhmetgalieva’s works has led to the conclusion that in modern Tatar prose, classical realism and avant-garde discourse, when interacting, form new methods of personal relationship with the outside world. The characters of modern writers are most often at a crossroads, in a borderline state, the latest prose reflecting the problem of the total ill-being of modern society.
The documentary nature of A. Gelasimov’s novel “Pure High”
Authors: Shchegolkova O. V.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the work of the notable contemporary writer A. Gelasimov. Over the past two decades, domestic literature has reflected a steady interest in the category of documentaries, resorting to various genre forms of nonfiction, style dominants, narrative strategies, etc. A. Gelasimov’s novel “Pure High” is largely organized based on the documentary principle, which manifests itself in the text at different levels of the whole: in the genre form of a biography, narrative, method of collecting information, adventurousness of the plot, stylized documents, language manner, etc. The document is used in the design of the publication, the section “Acknowledgements” correlates the names of the people from the environment of rapper Basta with the details of the novel, direct quotes from his songs are given, the biography is based on real facts. This use of documentary elements allows the author to actualize the tragic nineties of Russian history in the reader’s mind, to raise the issue of “the lost generations”, the forms and the causes of their destructive behavior and to show a possible experience of overcoming “the historical trauma”. Touching upon important social problems of our time, A. Gelasimov rediscovers the value of such categories as home, family, love, loyalty and friendship in the present.

Published: October 2023

The article deals with the significance of using jokes while teaching Russian as a foreign language in a military institute. We analyze text selection criteria, identify and describe work steps. We note that carefully selected jokes, accompanied by a set of tasks, let international students take a look at everyday future officers’ life from a different perspective. It is important to take into account the characteristics of an educational institute, the age of students and their language level. We believe it is possible to introduce jokes at the basic level. The material is selected in accordance with the studied topic. We suggest different methods of work aimed to develop different types of speech activity and country-specific competence. Examples of jokes are provided. We have come to the conclusion that humorous texts have considerable linguodidactic potential for teaching Russian as a foreign language course. They promote the development of all types of speech activity, form cross-cultural competence, help to understand the mechanisms of language games as well as increase motivation to study language and culture. The materials of the presented research could be useful for teachers of Russian as a foreign language who work at military institutions.

Horoscope in the media space: a linguocommunicative aspect
Authors: Mubarakshina A. M.
Published: October 2023

The article considers the phenomenon of horoscopic text relevant to modern linguistics in general and analyzes it as a type of speech genre in particular. The article argues that the horoscopic text, functioning in the media space, is a cluster integrative unit created under the influence of a number of extralinguistic factors, which is directly reflected both in the linguistic means used in horoscopes and in their structural organization. The ubiquitous digitalization of the information space causes a reduction of a predictive text’s volume and brings it closer to media genres. The proof that the horoscope is a separate speech genre is the regular use of a certain set of speech acts in its texts, which make up the formula of the genre, while the range of relevant speech acts gets limited by this formula. As a result of our analysis of three hundred horoscope texts, we found that two types of a regularly used speech act can be distinguished in their structure, or two basic components of the media horoscope structure. The first component, implemented in a proposition, is represented by an assertive; the second part, perceived as a recommendation,  is represented in the form of a directive of various types. We consider that assertives can be divided into informative and evaluative; directives are verbalized by means of prescriptive and motivational varieties, phraseoreflections, promptings with a forecast, permissions and suggestions. Each type of a speech act is verbalized through a certain set of lexical and grammatical means of the language strengthening the communicative position of the author.
Khusain Faizkhanov and the historical linguistics development
Authors: Mukhetdinov D. V.
Published: October 2023

The article discusses the activities of Khusain Faizkhanov and the results of his work in the areas related to linguistics. Based on available source materials and indirect information, the article characterizes Kh. Faizkhanov’s proficiency in various languages, which was demonstrated by him both in his educational and research activities. The article draws attention to the factors that influenced Kh. Faizkhanov’s linguistic skills development. The range of languages that Kh. Faizkhanov knew and used in his work was wide. If he could master some of the languages due to his origin and profile of education (Turkic, Arabic, Persian), he learned others on his own, achieving the level that enabled him to use them functionally for specific tasks (Russian, Chuvash). Kh. Faizkhanov equally excelled as a linguistic theorist, which is clearly evidenced by his own textbook on the Tatar language, as a philologist, which is reflected in his work with written monuments, and as a linguist, which follows from his ability to make important, in terms of historical linguistics, methodological conclusions on the interpretation of the Volga-Bulgarian epitaphs, involving the use of information from the Chuvash language.
Linguodidactic potential of coloratives in M. Prishvin’s works
Authors: Sadykova I. A.
Published: October 2023

The article raises the issue of the linguodidactic potential of coloratives (color denoting words) based on the analysis of M. Prishvin’s tale-story “The Carvel Thicket”. We suggest that any analysis of a literary work involves the study of emotional, psychological, aesthetic and linguodidactic functions of the language used by the author. It helps to show the writer’s world view and the world seen through the eyes of the characters, and to convey the atmosphere of the epoch, scene and events. At the same time, each color, while having its own national and cultural symbolic meaning, has an individual artistic interpretation, thus a special linguocultural comment is required. This Prishvin’s work includes examples of the color semantics extension of the colorative yellow enhancing its meaning. This color, in contrast to ‘red’ and ‘green’, which are used to describe the living pine forest causing admiration, symbolizes the loss of this earthly beauty at the end of the story. “The yellow mass of the round forest”, “skinned yellow whips”, “the dead ones” – in this way M. Prishvin describes the forest emphasizing this color polarity. The article pays special attention to the linguadidactic potential of coloratives: by using the linguistic analysis of coloratives we can develop speech skills formation and international students’ figurative and aesthetic thinking in the course of Russian language learning and reading Russian literature.
Zoomorphic metaphor in a Russian folk riddle
Authors: Faizullina N. I. , Hang S.
Published: October 2023

Metaphor is a unique phenomenon both from the point of view of language and culture, for it preserves unique relic forms of the surrounding reality perception. At present, when modern conditions of people’s lives are transformed, metaphor, as a way of realization of hidden comparison, undergoes a number of qualitative changes. In this regard, it will be relevant to turn to metaphor functioning in folklore texts, because due to its conservatism we can identify archetypal images underlying the hidden comparison. This article examines the features of zoomorphic metaphor in Russian folk riddles. The zoomorphic code is interesting for us, since the images of animals, actualized through metaphor, allow identifying national values. In riddles containing images of animals, there is a certain similarity between the image of the animal and the denotat in question; accordingly, this similarity is reflected in the metaphor, usually through a description of the action and appearance of the animal. Analyzing metaphor in the Russian folk riddle, we identify zoomorphic codes, which retain archetypal coding, expressed in the context of the whole riddle and in its correspondence to mythological ideas about the given animal. In this case, we are talking about the image of a horse, a bull. At the same time, the corpus of folk riddles reveals such zoomorphic metaphorical formations, which do not show any connection with archetypal coding. Thus, the image of a bear is deprived of mythological subtext and is used only as a means of secondary nomination of the denotation.
Trends of Digitalization in the Training of Teachers in the Republic of Poland
Authors: Stoika Olesia
Published: October 2023

The article defines the trends of digitalization in the training of teachers in the Republic of Poland. It concludes that modern education must keep up with the changing world by focusing on shaping teachers' digital competencies, personalizing teaching, using digital technologies and learning tools, actively implementing blended learning, lifelong learning, and project-based learning. By integrating and adopting these trends into the educational process in higher education institutions, future teachers will be better prepared for their future professional careers and will be able to respond to the challenges of the modern job market. Digital tools that influence the new role of the university include platforms and applications that facilitate distance learning and contribute to a paradigm shift in teaching and learning at higher education institutions. The article also explores the active use of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in the Republic of Poland. To achieve the research goals and objectives a combination of general scientific methods are used in the study, including theoretical methods such as analysis and synthesis to determine the main directions of research on the peculiarities of digitalization of teachers' training in Poland; empirical methods to study the regulatory and legal framework of the digitalization, the works of domestic and foreign researchers regarding the digitalization of teachers' training and education in general; and statistical processing of research results to obtain quantitative and qualitative data. Since the issue of digitalization trends in the training of teachers in the Republic of Poland is insufficiently studied, further research on the chosen problem is relevant and timely. It will contribute to adopting all the current positive trends in the educational space of Ukraine.
Women Empowerment through Waste Recycling in Africa. Case of Douala, Cameroon.
Authors: Sophie Ebot Agborabang
Published: October 2023

Background: In the city of Douala, Cameroon, the activities like collecting, sorting, trading, and sometimes even processing waste materials, provide an income opportunity for large numbers of poor people, where women represent a great number. However, the informal sector is usually characterized by poor working and living conditions, uncertain incomes, low social status, and little or no support from local governments. Thus, it remains doubtful if they will achieve more power and freedom as well as economic empowerment through participation in the informal waste recycling sector. This study aims to analyze the relationship between women's roles, participation in the informal sector of recycling, positive and negative outcomes, and empowerment in the city of Douala.

Methodology: This study exploits both qualitative and quantitative methods using the survey as the data collection technique. The sampling was carried out by random sampling technique, and the criteria for sampling were women waste pickers in the Bonamousadi, Ndokoti, and Bonanjo dumpsites.

Results: The findings of this study indicates that female waste pickers, apart from being housewives, are active in collecting, upgrading, and selling valuable waste materials. They work as individual waste pickers and are exposed to many risks at the dumpsite as they work with no protective equipment and no legal protection. They face unstable incomes and social stigma, and most cannot make decisions in the household. Though their living conditions have improved and they have gained greater independence in purchasing, they have not achieved more power nor gained any empowerment as many indicated that they perceive themselves in the lowest rung of the ladder of power and freedom where there is almost no freedom to make decisions.

Conclusion: Empowering women waste pickers through creating waste organizations or groups and integration with the formal sector might have a significant correlation with achieving more power and freedom and changing the perception of the public on waste pickers. This is the basis for achieving more sustainable waste management and a better environment.
Assessing Rwexit: the impact and implications of Rwanda’s withdrawal of its article 34(6)-declaration before the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights
Authors: Windridge Oliver
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: This article reviews and analyses Rwanda’s withdrawal of the declaration that allows individuals and NGOs direct access to the African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights, pursuant to article 34(6) of the African Court Protocol, which is a first in the young life of the preventing those accused of genocide minimisation or denial from accessing the African Court, thus seemingly attempting to deny certain Rwandans an avenue to assert their rights. The article further argues that, faced with the first prominent challenge to its authority, the African Court produced a wellreasoned decision that allows withdrawal but only after a 12-month cooling off period. What is of more concern is what appears to be a six-month delay in rendering the publicly available decision, which is unfortunate especially in the context of an envisaged 12-month cooling-off period. The article concludes by noting that any concerns of a flood of similar withdrawals has yet to occur, but adds that the decision puts the African Court in good stead to consider similar applications, as long as the African Court adheres to a stricter timeline for the publication of such decisions.

 

TITRE ET RÉSUMÉ EN FRANCAIS: Evaluation du Rwexit: impact et conséquences du retrait par le Rwanda de sa déclaration de reconnaissance de la juridiction de la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples faite aux termes de l’article 34(6)

RÉSUMÉ: Cet article examine le retrait de la déclaration du Rwanda autorisant les individus et les Organisations Non Gouvernementales à saisir directement la Cour africaine des droits de l'homme et des peuples, conformément à l'article 34(6) du Protocole à la Cour africaine. Ce retrait est une première dans la vie de la jeune juridiction et qui aurait pour but d’empêcher les personnes accusées de minimisation ou de négation du génocide d’avoir accès à la Cour africaine et apparait visiblement, par conséquent, comme une tentative de dénier à certains Rwandais une voie de recours pour faire valoir leurs droits. Cet article avance en outre que, confrontée au premier défi majeur à son autorité, la Cour africaine a rendu une décision bien motivée qui autorise le retrait, mais seulement après un délai de 12 mois, considéré comme un préavis. Ce qui est plus préoccupant est le retard de six mois mis pour rendre l’arrêt disponible au public, un fait regrettable eu égard particulièrement à l’option d’un retrait assorti d’un délai de préavis de 12 mois. L'article conclut en notant que la crainte d’une multiplication de retraits similaires ne s’est pas encore réalisée mais ajoute que la décision qu’elle a rendue met la Cour en état d’examiner des demandes similaires pour autant que de telles décisions soient publiées dans des délais plus strictes.
