Purpose. To study 1 year follow-up of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) based on the new multimodal imaging-based classification and identify the predictors for anatomic and visual outcome. Methods. Retrospective, study on 95 eyes diagnosed with CSCR and a follow up of at least 12 months were included. All eye received multimodal imaging, including color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, and fundus autofluorescence. Results. At the baseline, observation was advised to 70 % eyes with simple CSCR whereas photodynamic therapy (PDT) was performed in 49 % eyes with complex CSCR. Over the follow up, decrease in central retinal thickness (CRT) was significantly higher in simple CSCR as compared to complex CSCR (P = 0.008) and the recurrences were significantly more in eyes with lower CRT at baseline (P = 0.0002). Multiple regression model showed baseline best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and baseline SRF were significantly associated with final BCVA and SRF at one year (P < 0.05). Conclusions. Complex CSCR more often required PDT and requires for longer time for SRF resolution. Baseline BCVA and SRF were associated with one-year outcomes.

Purpose. To analyze the distribution of pathological retinal fluids according to optical coherence tomography (OCT) over time in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who received anti-angiogenic therapy for 5 years. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of OCT data of patients treated with anti-VEGF therapy (ranibizumab, aflibercept) in the 3+PRN regimen was performed. The study group consisted of 24 patients (79.2 % women, mean age 70.5 years). Results. Best corrected visual acuity increased from the initial 0.31 0.42 0.52 to 0.40 0.50 0.60 (p = 0.00028) by the 60th month. Central retinal thickness decreased from initial 304.0 343.4 382.7 µm to 190.6 209.8 229.1 µm (p < 0.00001). Significant correlation indicators according to Spearman (p < 0.05) were established in relation to an increase in the proportion of patients who had a «dry» retina and cases of subretinal fluid (SRF) resolution. Using the method of proportions, a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the proportion of patients without pathological fluid was determined, as well as a decrease in the percentage of patients with SRF and sub-retinal pigment epithelium fluid, which were achieved in the first year of therapy and maintained until the end of the study, as well as a decrease in the proportion of patients with intraretinal fluid, which achieved a statistical significance (p < 0.05) by the 60th month. Conclusion. One of the indicators confirming the high efficiency of long-term (60 months) anti-VEGF therapy for nAMD was a decrease in the proportion of patients with all compartments of the pathological retinal fluid.

To date, the number of vitreoretinal interventions is steadily increasing every year, and with them the understanding of the most common negative effects on some structures of the eye due to surgical invasion of the vitreal cavity. One of the most common complications of endovitreal interventions is the formation of cataracts. The aim of the study was to morphologically identify the most common pathological changes in the lens substance after vitrectomy with various types of endotamponade of the vitreal cavity. All patients were divided into 2 groups equal in number of subjects. Group 1 consisted of patients with tamponade of the vitreous cavity with sterile BSS solution, group 2 included patients with the presence of a gas-air mixture of hexafluoroethane in the vitreal cavity at the end of the operation. We recorded a significant increase in the thickness of the lens 3 months after vitrectomy in patients who used gas-air tamponade, and as well as the appearance of such morphological signs as hyperreflective focal changes in the lens nucleus, delamination of the posterior subcortical layers and the presence of crystalline "sutures".

Three years ago, there were reports of a new COVID-19 disease caused by a coronavirus – SARS-CoV-2. The virus infects various organs and tissues, including the eyes. The article presents the results of new studies on the mechanisms of development of ophthalmopathology, in particular, retinal lesions after COVID-19 disease. During the early phase of the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 was thought to cause ocular surface lesions associated with conjunctivitis and dry eye syndrome. However, it soon became clear that the posterior segment of the eye was also involved in the pathological process. The literature data presented in the article showed that SARS-CoV-2 can infect and replicate in ganglion cells and retinal photoreceptors. Retinal infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces the expression of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin 33 (IL33), the NLRP1 inflammasome, and others. Interleukin 33 is expressed mainly by Muller's glial cells and retinal pigment epithelium. Infection of retinal cells with SARS-CoV-2 manifests itself in an inflammatory response of immune system factors such as IL33 and NLRP1. Literature data indicate that TRPV1 receptor channels may be important sites interacting with SARS-CoV-2. At the same time, it is known that TRPV1 channels are involved in the development of many eye diseases. The data presented in the article indicate the need for further scientific research in order to search for the structures involved in the life cycle of COVID-19 and substances that block the action of these agents in the event of their pathological functioning. This will help prevent damage to the eye, in particular, the retina in case of COVID-19 disease and the development of postcovid syndrome.

In case of combined pathology, in particular aphakia and regmatogenic retinal detachment, an important point is the leveling of changes in the iridocrustal apparatus. When analyzing the morpho-anatomic parameters of the angle and depth of the anterior chamber using optical coherence tomography, distinctive features were revealed in patients with various methods of correcting the defect of the iridohrustal barrier. Purpose. of the study was to evaluate anatomical changes in the angle and depth of the anterior chamber in patients with various types of intraocular correction of the defect of the capsule-binding apparatus under conditions of tamponade of the vitreal cavity with silicone oil. Material and methods. Studies were conducted on 74 eyes of patients aged 56 to 75 years with various methods of correction of aphakia and silicone tamponade of the vitreal cavity. Results. There was a significant decrease in the anterior chamber angle in various sectors in patients with aphakia, in contrast to patients with anterior chamber and transclerally fixed intraocular lenses. A similar trend is observed in patients with anterocameral intraocular lenses, relative to the group of patients with artifacia. A decrease in the depth of the anterior chamber was revealed in patients with anterior chamber lenses relative to patients with transcleral fixation and articulation was revealed in the upper sector. In the temporal sector, there is a decrease in this indicator in patients with aphakia relative to patients with artifakia. Conclusion. In the conditions of silicone tamponade of the vitreal cavity, the technique of transcleral fixation of intraocular lenses provides the most physiological indicators of the anterior chamber angle comparable to single-format indicators of patients with artifacia.

The developed research model with eight hypotheses was examined with 226 employees obtained from luxury hotels. The findings are as follows: First, the person-environment fit positively affected organizational engagement. Second, personal-environment fit had a positive effect on organizational adjustment. The third, organizational engagement, had a positive effect on organizational adjustment. The fourth, organizational engagement, was found to affect organizational trust positively. The fifth, organizational adjustment, was found to affect organizational trust positively. The sixth, organizational engagement, positively affected the intention to continue working. The seventh, organizational adjustment, did not positively affect the intention to continue working. Eighth, organizational trust was found to affect the intention to continue working positively. These findings suggest that personal-environment fit is essential in promoting organizational engagement, adjustment, trust, and career continuity for luxury hotel employees in the food and beverage department.
Growth and Passivation of Individual Carbon Nanoparticles by C2H2 addition at High Temperatures: Dependence of Growth Rate and Evolution on Material and Size
Authors: Lau Chris , Rodriguez Daniel , Friese Abigail , Anderson Scott
Published: April 2023

Absolute kinetics for reactions of C2H2 with a series of ~60 individual carbon nanoparticles (NPs) from graphite, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon black, diamond, and nano-onion feedstocks were measured for temperatures (TNP) ranging from 1200 to 1700 K. All the NPs were observed to gain mass by carbon addition under conditions that varied with feedstock, but with large variations in initial growth rate. Long reaction periods were studied to allow the evolution of the growth rates over time to be observed. Diamond NPs were found to passivate against C2H2 addition if heated above ~1400 K, and the highly variable initial reactivity for carbon nano-onions was found to depend on the presence of non-onion-structure surface carbon. For graphitic and carbon black NPs, three distinct growth modes were observed, correlated with the initial NP mass (M¬initial). Smallest graphitic and carbon black NPs, with masses < ~25 MDa, initially grew rapidly but also passivated quickly after adding < 4% of Minitial. NPs in the 20 to 50 MDa range also passivated, but only after multiple waves of fast growth separated by periods of low reactivity, with up to ~11% total mass gain before passivation. The largest carbon black and graphitic NPs, with Minitial > 50 MDa, grew rapidly and continuously, adding up to ~300% of Minitial with no sign of rate slowing as long as C2H2 was present. The efficiencies for C2H2 addition and etching by O2 are strongly correlated, but the correlation changes as the NPs passivate. Growth and passivation mechanisms are discussed.
DeepDelta: Predicting Pharmacokinetic Improvements of Molecular Derivatives with Deep Learning

Published: April 2023

Established molecular machine learning models process individual molecules as inputs to predict their biological, chemical, or physical properties. However, such algorithms require large datasets and have not been optimized to predict property differences between molecules. Many drug and material development tasks would benefit from an algorithm that can directly compare two molecules to guide molecular optimization and prioritization. Here, we develop DeepDelta, a pairwise deep learning approach that processes two molecules simultaneously and learns to predict property differences between two molecules from small datasets. On 10 pharmacokinetic benchmark tasks, our DeepDelta approach outperforms two established molecular machine learning algorithms, the message passing neural network (MPNN) ChemProp and Random Forest using radial fingerprints. We further analyze our performance and find that DeepDelta is particularly outperforming established approaches at predicting large differences in molecular properties and can perform scaffold hopping. Furthermore, we derive simple computational tests of our models based on mathematical invariants and show that compliance to these tests correlate with overall model performance – providing an innovative, unsupervised, and easily computable measure of expected model performance and applicability. Taken together, DeepDelta provides an accurate approach to predict molecular property differences and will allow for higher fidelity and transparency in molecular optimization for drug development and the chemical sciences.
Electrically Conductive [Fe4S4]-based Organometallic Polymers

Published: April 2023

Tailoring the molecular components of hybrid organic-inorganic materials enables precise control over their electronic properties. Designing electrically conductive coordination materials, e.g. metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), has relied on single-metal nodes because the metal-oxo clusters present in the vast majority of MOFs are not suitable for elec- trical conduction due to their localized electron orbitals. Therefore, the development of metal-cluster nodes with delocal- ized bonding would greatly expand the structural and electrochemical tunability of conductive materials. Whereas the cuboidal [Fe4S4] cluster is a ubiquitous cofactor for electron transport in biological systems, few electrically conductive artificial materials employ the [Fe4S4] cluster as a building unit due to the lack of suitable bridging linkers. In this work, we bridge the [Fe4S4] clusters with ditopic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) linkers through charge-delocalized Fe-C bonds that enhance electronic communication between the clusters. [Fe4S4Cl2(ditopic NHC)] exhibits a high electrical conductivity of 1 mS cm−1 at 25 oC, surpassing the conductivity of related but less covalent materials. These results highlight that synthetic control over individual bonds is critical to the design of long-range behavior in semiconductors.
PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES OF THE FORMATION OF A CULTURALLY COMPETENT PERSONALITY
Authors: Zaika Tetiana
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the conceptualization of philosophical principles of the formation of a culturally competent personality. It has been established that these principles are implemented in anthropological, existential, epistemological and axiological planes, which determines the sustainable development of personality. The anthropological context is associated with the understanding of man as a holistic developing system. A culturally competent personality is about a person in culture and for culture. The existential and epistemological contexts outline the place and significance of the Other in the personal formation of I, in shaping its life position in terms of cognitive and behavioral systems of interaction. The axiological context raises the question of the moral and value attitude of I to itself, the world and others like itself.

Culture is defined as an ontological condition for the realization of a culturally competent personality. Emphasis is placed on the human-creating function of culture, its ability to regulate the space of all-unity. The competence component of a person’s personal development is realized in the fact that by learning the cultural codes of interpersonal interaction, constructing himself and the surrounding space, a person is aware of cultural differentiation and organizes his activities according to plurality of human needs, demands and objectives.

The formation of a culturally competent personality takes into account the principle of dialogue. As shown in the article, the dialogical interaction between I and the Other is a factor in the integrity of a person's personal development. Dialogue encodes the space «between» I and the Other; fixes the ontological and epistemological openness of I, its ambivalence towards the Other.
UNNAMEABLE, REAL, IMPOSSIBLE: THE COMMUNITY IN ALAIN BADIOU’S PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Chystotina Olha
Published: April 2023

The article deals with the concept of community in the interpretation of Alain Badiou. The author proves the urgency of addressing Badiou’s works in the context of modern understanding of the community: being generalizing to modern theories, Badiou’s concept is the only one built around the concepts of truth-event-subject. Categorically refusing to accept the assertion that there is nothing but individuals, Badiou constantly returns to the concept of community being understood through brotherhood. The article explores three key characteristics of the community: connection with the real, unnameability, impossibility. It is proved that the statement of the impossibility of community is not limited to indicating the current political situation, but is of some philosophical significance. At the same time, Badiou’s thesis is emphasized that the impossibility of communities does not mean abandoning the imperative of emancipation. The connection between the definition of community and the category of the real is analysed, the main similarities and differences in the interpretation of the real between Alain Badiou and Jacques Lacan and Slavoj Žižek are noted. The insidiousness of Badiou’s concept of community in the philosophical context of the community’s understanding of the future as a dissolved, unrecognized one is revealed. An emphasis is placed on the desubstantiation of the community as the main Badiou’s requirement, emphasizing his rejection of communities united by a certain particular feature as communities. Special attention is paid to brotherhood as a continuous passion and manifestation of «we» of the community. The role and significance of the requirement of unnameability of the community in Badiou’s philosophy are determined, and therefore the consequences of its naming in the form of a simulacrum and catastrophe are analysed. The following consequences of the seam of philosophy and politics that runs through the concept of community are stressed: the «ecstasy of the place», the reduction of various names of politics to one name, the despotism of truths. The task of inventing a factor that can only include in the community without rejecting anyone is problematized. The importance of Badiou’s decision to centre the community on events, being both singular in manifestation and universal in its revealed truth, is emphasized. It is also studied how Badiou derives the idea of a «universal singular» from the teachings of the Apostle Paul about the truth-event. Thus, it is concluded that the community in Badiou’s philosophy is defined by its unnameability and impossibility as a situation’s “the real”.
SHAKESPEARE’S THEATER OF LIFE AND PHILOSOPHY OF BAROQUE THEATER: «FAUSTIAN SPIRIT» OVERTAKES ANCIENT FORM
Authors: Tytar Olena
Published: April 2023

Purpose of the article is to identify the components of creative method and anthropology of Shakespeare’s theater, to compare Shakespeare’s theater to Baroque theater, to analyze various conceptions of Shakespeare. Methods: hermeneutic, cultural anthropology, historical and cultural, analytical, psychoanalysis. From philosophical and anthropological positions, creative method and creative works of W. Shakespeare have been analyzed, a strong connection of theater and philosophy of Shakespeare’s theater with Baroque theater has been revealed (mysticism, fabulousness, hyperrealism, formal features are replaced by effective ones, usage of parable and utopia (image of King Lear in particular), motives of vanitas (vanity), duality of the world, allegory, «figureness»). Shakespeare suggests a new philosophy of theater based on elimination of borders between reality and art, «baroqueivisation», theatricalization of reality, masks are used as symbols of a real person without distorting it but rather revealing his or her deepest essence, sincerity. It is also reflected in understanding of Shakespeare’s authorship problem where mask of a clown and a buffoon are used in order to convey the deepest and most philosophical thoughts to society. Baroque reform of the theater suggested by Shakespeare, reduces theater to universal anthropological model both synchronically and diachronically. Theater runs around the actor, not only art but life of the universe is carried out via actor. This new philosophy of theater cannot be considered only within the «culture of meanings» (G.U. Gumbrecht) but on principle is within the limits of «culture of presence», which helps to understand the ideological idea of Shakespeare’s theater, to view biography and personality of Shakespeare in a new way because Shakespearean Studies was within the culture of meanings and tried to consider only the hidden codes and symbols of Shakespeare’s theater. Beyond these philosophical hermeneutics remained the transforming, effective power of Shakespeare’s theater. Humanization of theater also takes place: based on the old Antique form a new humanistic content is built, where much attention is paid to «life of soul», love, kindness, wits, passion, vengeance, etc., sinfulness of a soul and its ability to clear of evil. Theatre is considered to be not an external spectacle but a deep instrument of immersion in life of a soul and its gradual growth. Since theater is the whole world (in philosophy of culture it can also be identified with the formation of «Faustian soul» (O. Spengler), «Faustian spirit» focused on the infinite formation, the infinity of space), it requires the creation of a corresponding dictionary because the word itself becomes a word-action. A special role of allegory genre for philosophy of Shakespeare’s theater is considered, his philosophy is compared to philosophy of F. Bacon.

Published: April 2023

The research aims to critically appraise the quality and validity of information available on YouTube as a source of information for COVID-19 and examine the emotional consequences of COVID-19-related information shared via Twitter. 106 YouTube videos were identified using the COVID-19 associated particular keywords. Two independent observers reviewed the English-language videos as 'useful' or 'misleading'. The Word-Emotion Association (Lexicon) was employed to conduct an emotional analysis of the people regarding COVID-19 via Twitter. 28 videos were classified as 'misleading' while 78 videos were classified as 'useful'. Findings highlighted variations in viewer behaviour in response to different types of videos. YouTube provides a vast amount of information on COVID-19, and integrating particular characteristics could enhance the popularity of YouTube videos. The number of positive sentiment Tweets was approximately equal to the number of negative sentiment Tweets. YouTube has become a significant source of health information during the current crisis. Independent users are more likely to upload misleading videos. Emotional analysis using Twitter data may be utilised by authorities to comprehend the psychological well-being of individuals.
Of People and Performance
Authors:   , Shaw Vivien
Published: April 2023

There is nothing that can compare to the experiences and energy that is found in live performance, especially those that take place in spaces where the architecture is designed to enhance it. With the world opening back up again after the effects of the Coronavirus, now is the time to invest in and focus on performing arts and the joy and connection they can provide.

Wellington fosters a reputation for being a creative city full of performance and opportunities. However, there is a huge gap in the performing arts facilities provided with no mid-sized theatres and minimal places for local creatives to form new connections. This thesis aims to bridge this gap with a performing arts building that includes a flexible 400-800 seat theatre.

The design outcome makes use of personification to bring the essence of performers into the architecture itself. The three key architectural spaces that span the full height of the building take on the roles of the showman, the dancer, and the storyteller. Focus is also on creating spaces that are flexible, versatile and accessible to the diverse Wellington performing arts community.

This thesis informs an architecture that is itself a performer and also an audience for the performance of the inhabitants.

La Construcción del Estado plurinacional ecuatoriano, más allá del reconocimiento constitucional: Descolonización, autonomías e interculturalidad
Authors: Madrid Tamayo Andrea Celinda
Published: April 2023

Después de 168 años de vida republicana e “independencia” del sistema colonial, y como resultado de la lucha del movimiento indígena, acontecido por primera vez en 1998, Ecuador reconoce el carácter pluricultural y multiétnico del Estado. En el 2008 el país se definió constitucionalmente como plurinacional e intercultural, legitimando los derechos colectivos como pueblos ancestrales de indígenas, afroecuatorianos y montubios. En este contexto, es importante transcender el discurso (tanto normativo como institucional) e identificar los elementos que puedan ser analizados de forma concreta y que den cuenta de la puesta en marcha o no del Estado plurinacional. El objetivo del presente artículo, en este sentido, es analizar los significados, conceptos e implicaciones, que componen y describen la plurinacionalidad, para luego identificar las categorías que puedan dar cuenta de los avances o retrocesos en la consolidación del Estado plurinacional ecuatoriano.

Con la finalidad de desarrollar un taller para el intercambio de conocimientos y percepciones sobre la atención de salud en el espacio de la cita médica, se propone un ejercicio reflexivo para dialogar, desde una aproximación antropológica, sobre diferentes nociones en torno a la importancia de la práctica social intercultural y su incidencia en espacios de interacción biosocial en el campo de las ciencias médicas. Para ello, se analiza a la cita médica desde la óptica de la biopolítica y se considera la presencia del cuerpo en espacios de construcción de realidades a partir de una noción ontológica de la vida de los pacientes.
Salir a ganar: La memoria como resignificadora de prácticas en el marco de un equipo de fútbol femenino.
Authors: Bleger Mariel Verónica
Published: April 2023

Este trabajo muestra cómo a partir del deporte, un colectivo de mujeres identifica, a través de relatos y recuerdos compartidos, los modos para subvertir ciertos lugares naturalizados de desigualdad y subordinación. A partir de un trabajo etnográfico de sus movimientos dentro de un escenario tan fijo y preestablecido como es “la tradición futbolera”, se acompaña el proceso de conformación del primer equipo de fútbol femenino barrial. Será a través del análisis de sus propias narrativas donde se evidencian los procesos de resignificación que transformaron ciertos contextos de recuerdos personales y privados en textos comunes y compartidos.
Relación de la naturaleza y sociedad vinculada al tiempo de ocio de los visitantes en dos parques en un valle seco interandino, Ecuador
Authors: Muñoz - Barriga Andrea , Díaz Tapia Alejandra
Published: April 2023

Este artículo analiza la relación naturaleza y sociedad a través de la percepción de los usuarios de dos parques (Cochasquí y Jerusalem) ubicados en un valle seco interandino, cerca de Quito. La metodología empleada fue eminentemente cuantitativa (encuestas), que fue complementada con técnicas cualitativas (entrevistas semi-estructuradas y observación). Entre los principales hallazgos se detecta la importancia que dan los usuarios a la naturaleza como un espacio para la recreación, el ocio y el tiempo libre, dejando de lado muchas veces valores culturales que pudieran estar asociados sobre todo a Cochasquí. Por otra parte, hay diferencias entre ambos parques en cuanto al perfil socio demográfico, pero también a las preferencias; aunque en general existe la necesidad de tener espacios verdes para la relajación, esparcimiento, y el dejar atrás los entornos urbanos. En el marco de la pandemia y la emergencia climática, los parques constituyen espacios de conservación, pero también de encuentro y disfrute del tiempo libre.
DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING MATERIALS FOR STAD-TYPE COOPERATIVE MODELS WITH BLENDED LEARNING METHOD ON MATERIAL SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS
Authors: Talib Ahmad , Para'pak Yulianti
Published: April 2023

Learning and teaching materials are two things that complement each other. Learning will work if equipped with teaching materials such as textbooks and LKM. The learning process must be able to increase the independence and creativity of students so that their skills are more focused and produce output that is ready to face challenges in the 21st century. One of the alternative 21st-century learning methods that is appropriate to use is the blended learning method . The implementation of the blended learning method will work effectively if it is equipped with teaching materials such as textbooks and LKM as reference materials for students in learning. Therefore, in this study developed STAD type cooperative teaching materials with the blended learning method . The method used in this research is Nieveen's (1999) development method which includes the initial investigation stage, the prototype stage, and the assessment stage. The results of the development showed that: (1) the expert's assessment of the STAD cooperative model teaching materials (textbooks and LKM) with the blended learning method was feasible to use, (2) the trial results of the STAD cooperative model teaching materials with the blended learning method were practically used by lecturers and students in learning and effective for students mastering the material system of linear equations.
THE NUCLEAR ISSUE IN KAZAKHSTAN POLICY AT THE FIRST STAGE OF INDEPENDENCE (1991-1992)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sharueva Marina V.
Published: April 2023

The article is about an issue of the Kazakhstan denuclearisation in the first half of the 1990s, which is considered from two points of view. On the one hand, the author analyses the independent Republic of Kazakhstan heading for the closure of the Soviet test sites, cessation of nuclear weapons testing and full-scale rehabilitation of the territories and population affected by the Soviet nuclear programme in the 1950s – 1980s. The author emphasises that the idea of Kazakhstan “cleaning” originated and began to be implemented before the Republic sovereignization in 1989–1990, and notes an important role of the “Nevada Semipalatinsk” movement. On the other hand, the country pays special attention to the political aspects of denuclearisation. In particular, the author elaborates on the doubts of Kazakhstan’s leadership as to whether the Soviet nuclear legacy should be abandoned. She also considers the political and economic factors that shaped such hesitation and ultimately influenced Nursultan Nazarbaev’s decision to sign the 1992 Lisbon Protocol. In that context the author pays special attention to the “image conflict” between vision of Kazakhstan as a state which voluntarily refuses nuclear weapons or a state that seeks to join the nuclear-power club as a full member

Published: April 2023

The publication analyzes the monograph “30 years of the CIS. Transformational processes in the post-Soviet space” issued for commemorating the anniversary of the organization’s creation. The study is the result of a long-term scientific work of the Institute of post-Soviet and Interregional Studies of the Russian State University for the Humanities that for many years has been a leading center for the study of post-Soviet countries abroad in Russia and the world. It is a fundamental study of geopolitical and socio-cultural processes in the former Soviet Republics. The author emphasizes that the studying the experience of transformational processes in the post-Soviet space is relevant both from a scientific and practical point of view, especially now when the world is in a state of extreme geopolitical turbulence. In addition, it is noted that the monograph touches on the entire spectrum of modern geopolitical, economic and socio-cultural issues and processes of the post-Soviet space: the prerequisites and reasons for the formation and development of the Commonwealth of Independent States, integration and disintegration processes at the present stage, prospects for business cooperation, modern security threats, challenges to the spread of the Russian language, the role of the energy sector in within the framework of cooperation between post-Soviet countries. The monograph is distinguished by its scientific novelty and relevance, it contributes to the development of important questions from a scientific point of view, and gives impetus to further effective research development of such problematics.
Curso de Biblioteconomia da UFAL: uma trilha sobre sua memória histórica
Authors: Santos Almiraci Dantas dos , Lima Maria de Lourdes
Published: April 2023

O curso de Biblioteconomia da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, criado em 1998, se apresenta como uma alternativa para a formação de profissionais em Biblioteconomia para atuar na organização e disseminação da informação no âmbito da sociedade e de unidades de informação em Alagoas. Por ocasião dos 50 anos da UFAL, em 2011, o ICHCA instigou a necessidade do curso de Biblioteconomia de construir uma história da sua trajetória institucional. Logo, o curso de Biblioteconomia procurou, a partir de um projeto de pesquisa, construir uma trilha da sua memória institucional, pois a memória possibilita a formação e construção histórica, assim como também é uma extensão da informação e do conhecimento registrados. Em síntese, para a construção dessa memória foi realizada uma investigação por meio de fontes primárias e secundárias, tais como os documentos oficiais e extraoficiais (depoimentos de ex-coordenadores e coordenador, ofícios, projetos político-pedagógicos, portarias, resoluções, entre outros). Portanto, o resgate dessa memória institucional se inscreve na tentativa de se pensar a história da UFAL como a soma das histórias e/ou das memórias das suas respectivas unidades acadêmicas.

A presente pesquisa objetiva discutir a competência informacional necessária aos profissionais enfermeiros na promoção à saúde, considerando as estratégias de prevenção do câncer de colo do útero na ESF. Para tanto, aborda especificamente os fundamentos da promoção da saúde, as questões que envolvem a prevenção do câncer de colo do útero e a competência do profissional enfermeiro na realização das diversas atividades promocionais. Nesse sentido, o estudo foi realizado a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, a partir de levantamentos, fichamentos, análises e interpretações de fontes secundárias de informação, notadamente, livros e artigos científicos. A partir dessas análises e interpretações, considerou-se finalmente que a promoção à saúde é fundamental para prevenção do câncer de colo do útero. Com efeito, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de competência dos profissionais enfermeiros envolvidos com essas atividades, especificamente, no domínio do conjunto de informações sobre a doença e as atitudes preventivas.
Gestão da Informação e Qualidade: investimentos teóricos para a Ciência da Informação
Authors: Monteiro Samuel Alves
Published: April 2023

Apresenta a relação da gestão da informação com o conceito de qualidade estabelecido pela Administração e que pode ser aplicável em serviços de informação, com a pretensão de explicitar conceituações dialógicas possíveis objetivando contribuir para o desenvolvimento teórico da Ciência da Informação. Dessa maneira, procurou-se, considerando por base uma análise teórica, discutir sobre o significado do termo informação apresentando diversas concepções de autores ligados à Ciência da Informação. Apresentam-se também, compreensões teóricas sobre gestão da informação ampliando a discussão em torno de sua aplicabilidade nas organizações, tendo como produto final informações de qualidade. Por fim procurou-se construir um diálogo da qualidade com a Ciência da Informação. E de forma conclusiva esse estudo percebeu a existência de uma imperiosa necessidade da Ciência da Informação em utilizar a qualidade como uma estratégia de base para resolução de seus problemas e dilemas informacionais. Indagações ainda pairam no ar. Como é possível desenvolver gestão da informação com qualidade? É possível qualificar a informação de maneira unívoca? Em que momento da gestão da informação, deve ser adotado a qualidade? Esses questionamentos provocam discussões posteriores que servirão de base teórica para futura estabilização de um conceito de “qualidade da informação” na Ciência da Informação.
