Talk the Poem: Re-positioning Poetry Recitation as Transformative Pedagogy
Authors: Lewis-Fokum Yewande , Moore Schontal , Spencer Aisha T.
Published: October 2021

Poetry is often perceived by many as the genre of Literature, which is only accessible to specific kinds of individuals, with special artistic sensibilities. As much as we have moved away from formalistic notions of engaging with poetry, the text or written word itself, continues to be treated as an isolated substance, awaiting profound interpretation from those who are gifted with the skills of response. This article explores the importance of offering encounters with poetry which will enable sustainable transformation and growth for both teachers and students. The Talk the Poem (TTP) National Poetry Project was established to provide secondary students from across the island with the space and opportunity to engage with and recite Caribbean and British poetry, through interactive workshops and a national recitation competition. Through a series of critical self-reflective moments, core members of the TTP project attempted to determine the role and scope of the project in the lives of the secondary school teachers and students. This article reports findings on the positive and insightful outcomes of the TTP experience for teacher and student participants, deciphered through document analysis, team discussions, interviews, and surveys.
Parenting Of Parents Work In Instilling Religious Attitudes And Respectful Attitudes In Adolescents
Authors: Fatmawati Fauziyah , Erlangga Rifqi Aulia
Published: October 2021

Parents, especially mothers are responsible for instilling the value of religious and social life in children, including adolescents through proper parenting. However, many parents choose to entrust the child completely to the school because it is busy with their work. This study aims to explain the parenting of working parents in instilling religious attitudes and respectful attitudes in adolescents, explain the factors that influence parenting, and explain the obstacles and solutions parents work in foster care. This study is a qualitative descriptive field study involving ten working parents. This research data is obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study found that the parenting used by sources is democratic parenting. Trust factors, comparison of parenting models, child gender, parental behavior, and character of children are factors that influence parenting in instilling religious attitudes and respectful attitudes in adolescents. In addition, there are obstacles in applying parenting, such as limited time together between parents and children because parents are busy working, child characters, mobile phones, child association, and social media. The solution in overcoming these obstacles is to be a good role model, make the best use of time to get to know the child's friendship environment, not only be a parent but can be a good friend and listener, and have to check the child’s phone.
El concepto de crisis y sus denominaciones: tipos y causas de las variaciones en la terminología de la crisis económica mundiao
Authors: Alves da Silva Manoel Messias , Zuluaga Molina Juan Felipe
Published: October 2021

El objetivo de este articulo es presentar el concepto de crisis en el ámbito económico y sus denominaciones en portugués brasileño (PB) y español europeo (EE), por medio del estudio de sus variantes denominativas en ambas lenguas, a saber: crise económica, crise de 2008, grande crise e grande crise global; crisis económica, crisis de 2008, gran crisis y gran crisis de la globalización; respectivamente, todo esto con el fin de identificar los tipos y causas de estas variaciones. Estas variantes, retomando la descripción propuesta por Freixa (2014), presentan los siguientes tipos: variantes morfosintácticas, que son variaciones de carácter inferior al léxico, ya sea por el cambio en su estructura sintagmática o el mantenimiento o cambio del género o el número; o léxicas, que pueden considerarse como la sinonimia propiamente, ya que el cambio es total entre las dos unidades léxicas que tienen el mismo significado. Entre las causas propuestas por la misma autora (2014), solo se considerarán las siguientes: funcional, que tiene su origen en los diferentes registros  comunicativos; y estilística, que está relacionada con las opciones y necesidades comunicativas de un autor. Los tipos y las causas de las variaciones se presentarán, ejemplificarán y analizarán, a partir de contextos recopilados en un corpus brasileño y un corpus español del proyecto Valores culturais e didácticos na metáfora de especialidade: as múltiplas imagens da crise económica mundial na imprensa escrita (Valores culturales y didácticos en la metáfora de especialidad: las múltiples imágenes de la crisis económica mundial en la prensa escrita), proyecto de investigación integrado que involucra a la  niversidade de Sao Paulo, Unesp, UEM y a la Universidade de Vigo, con fondos de la CAPES (Coordenacao de aperfeicoamento de pessoal de nivel superior, Coordinación de Perfeccionamiento de Personal de Nivel Superior) / DGPU (Dirección General del Patrimonio Universitario). Se concluye que la búsqueda de variantes denominativas es importante para presentar una terminología in vivo ya que, en el caso específico del concepto de crisis y sus enominaciones, ya se han identificado variaciones que van mucho más allá del principio de univocidad.
Public R&D procurement: main factors of effectivness
Authors: Osipova E. V. , Smirnova T. G.
Published: October 2021

The aim of the study is to analyze the existing problems in R&D procurement for the federal and municipal needs. The authors carried out a comparative analysis of the conducted surveys of the government customers and contractors representing research organizations and universities as well as of bidding documents and evaluation criteria for choosing the best offers in government procurement of social science research. The results of the study show that the currently applied approaches to the effectiveness evaluation of research organizations do not allow the selection of a duly qualified executor of a government order. A customer has to take decisions in conditions of high uncertainty both for the assessment of scientific capacity of a contractor and for the estimation of necessary resources to achieve the set goal. That makes the authors conclude that there is an urgent need in elaboration of alternative competitive criteria.
O sujeito criador através da autoanálise da própria produção artística.
Authors: Alvarez Fernando
Published: October 2021

O presente artigo propõe-se analisar a posteriori, tanto uma série de imagens plásticas -esboços, desenhos e pinturas-, quanto registros escritos desde uma óptica psicanalítica. Tomando como ponto de partida o pensamento de Freud sobre arte e estética, e em especial, as inter-relações entre o inconsciente e os processos criativos, a técnica da psicanálise possibilitaria às próprias pessoas examinadas solucionarem os seus enigmas oníricos. O que poderia ser extensível às imagens visuais. Pretende-se, portanto, analisar alguns recortes do próprio fazer artístico no intuito de obter uma visão de conjunto -embora subjetiva- do concomitante processo de maduração psicológica do indivíduo mediado pelos processos criativos.
Não caminho sozinho
Authors: Silva Camila Calolinda da , Alonso Alex Fabiano , Ghizzi Eluiza Bortolotto
Published: October 2021

O presente artigo interessa-se pela obra do artista contemporâneo mineiro Paulo Nazareth (1977). Em um primeiro momento, analisa o seu fazer artístico por meio de percursos de viagem com base nos conceitos de “lugar” e “não lugar” antropológicos, cunhados por Marc Augé. Em seguida, no intuito de aprofundar-se no estudo dos significados com os quais o artista trabalha, detém-se em um registro videográfico da obra “Árvore do Esquecimento” (2013), a qual analisa recorrendo a uma aplicação da semiótica peirciana à imagem, proposta pela semioticista Lúcia Santaella. Os resultados mostram uma obra que valoriza o sentido de lugar na medida em que vai na contramão das figuras de excesso que Augé associa aos não lugares e, ao mesmo tempo, reconstrói simbolicamente vivências ancestrais dele próprio e de todos os outros com os quais se identifica.
A Lança e o Arco, ou Por um devir-quilombista da arte
Authors: Vasconcellos Jorge
Published: October 2021

Afirmamos que há em curso um giro minoritário da arte contemporânea, a partir do qual defendemos que é possível pensar que, em certas práticas artísticas caracterizadas por nós como contra-arte, articula-se um devir-quilombista realizado por artistas-ativistas negrxs-indígenas. Este devir-quilombista é autodefesa e contra-ataque, por intermédio de ações de guerrilha artística, do Povo Preto brasileiro.
Navegante
Authors: Oliveira Rafaela Pupin de , Serrano Eliane Patricia Grandini
Published: October 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão sobre as possibilidades poéticas e educativas da experiência estética, uma forma particular de interação com objetos artísticos, tanto do ponto de vista da fruição como do fazer poético. Ambos podem ser explorados pelo arte/educador, como mediador, pesquisador e agente em processos criativos. Estes aspectos são explorados pela metáfora do navegante, o qual é conceituado como sujeito que é desafiado a criar seu próprio caminho para vivenciar a experiência. Os conceitos teóricos, o olhar poético e suas relações evidenciam a importância do “navegar” em momentos desafiantes como o de pandemia. Identifica-se o processo orgânico e subjetivo da experiência, o papel do professor-artista, a educação estética e o potencial da arte na formação do ser humano.

Cotidiano, corpo e processos de subjetivação na espiral poética de Rubiane Maia
Authors: Alves Lindomberto Ferreira
Published: October 2021

O artigo investiga como que corpo, cotidiano e processos de subjetivação são agenciados nos processos artísticos de Rubiane Maia. Persegue-se, aqui, a hipótese de que esses três verbetes se constituem como eixos norteadores dos deslocamentos poéticos explorados no decurso dos seus primeiros dez anos de carreira. Busca-se situar em perspectiva suas intenções poéticas de indissociação entre vida e obra – tendência que, em Rubiane Maia, parece conduzi-la à afirmação de um horizonte mais expansivo de relações entre a arte e a vida.

Published: October 2021

A study of the flame-retardant (FR) properties, the degree of expansion (DE) and the strength properties of thermally expanding sealing tapes (TST) based on polyolefin thermoplastic elastomers is presented. Experimental TST based on ethylene vinyl acetate rubber (БК-E), and a semi-crystalline copolymer of ethylene and propylene (БК-V) with additives of oxidized graphite (OG) were obtained on laboratory equipment. DE, categories of FR and strength properties of БК-E and БК-V differ slightly. The morphology of the char foams of the obtained compositions was determined. Based on the summary of the results it was found that the composition of БК-E has a better FR in comparison with БК-V. It is estimated that this is primarily due to the nature of the polymer matrix of the compositions, as well as the distribution of components in it, in particular, OG, and their interaction with each other during the combustion process. It is shown that the properties of the developed TST are at the level of the existing ones. A further series of research is expected.

Authors: Verma Arjun Prasad , Meena Hans Ram , Patel Diksha , Meena B. S.
Published: October 2021

The study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of an educational module on brucellosis among commercial dairy farmers. Experimental research design before and after was used to test the effectiveness of the Educational module. A total of 120 commercial dairy farmers were selected and interviewed using a well-structured interview schedule from six districts of Haryana and Punjab States during 2018. The results revealed that the majority of the respondents (55%) had not heard about brucellosis and didn’t know causative agent of brucellosis (55%). The majority of the respondents mentioned that they did not know the symptoms of brucellosis, mode of transmission, method of prevention and vaccine used for brucellosis in dairy animals. Before exposure to the educational module, the percentage of knowledge was 12.03 per cent and after exposure 46.54 per cent. Mean knowledge gain was 34.51 per cent. Knowledge gain through educational module on brucellosis in dairy animals was positively and significantly correlated with education, landholding, income, herd size and experience in commercial dairy farming.

The purpose of the study is to assess the financial performance of selected dairy-based producer companies in India. The data were collected from four dairy-based FPCs which were more than three years old from three states of India i.e., Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Major four financial performance indicators i.e., liquidity, solvency, efficiency, and profitability were studied. Each indicator has four ratios and thus a total of 16 ratios were used for financial performance assessment. A financial ratio analysis methodology was used and performance was indicated by the performance score method. The study found that all four Farmer Producer Companies are in the red zone and perform poorly in terms of solvency, efficiency, and profitability during the three years under study. The overall Combined Performance Score of all four FPCs was in the yellow (average) zone. The study suggests that suitable measures like increase the share of stakeholders, fund generation and financial support from donor institutions, effective and efficient business plan for the company, suitable marketing linkage, and strategy, enhance the business capacity of the company, etc. should be taken immediately to improve the financial performances of FPCs in India to make them sustainable and viable.

Time series data on area, production and productivity of major millets (2000-01 to 2019- 20) was analyzed for Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh state. Sorghum was the most important millet crop that accounted for highest area (36.6%) and (34%) of total millet area and production in UP state, respectively. Chitrakoot district contributed highest area (31.6%) under millets. Among all the millets, pearl millet recorded highest growth rate in area (0.97%), production (3.57%) and productivity (1.59%) with low instability index for area. The overall area and production of millet crops recorded decline in all the seven districts of Bundelkhand region during overall study period (2000-20). Lalitpur district recorded highest decline in area (-22.02%), followed by Chitrakoot (-10.82%) and Jhansi district (- 10.63%) during overall study period, while during the same period Banda district recorded a growth in area (1.16%) and production (4.77 %) of pearl millet. The overall area, production and productivity of millets registered a decline in Bundelkhand region during 2000-20. This calls for aggressive promotional activities for enhancing millets production in the region.
Phytonymic Phraseology and Linguocultural Features of Paremiological Units
Authors: Aysu Mirzayeva
Published: October 2021

The article comparatively examines phytonomic phraseology, forming a branch of onomastic phraseology of English and Azerbaijani languages. Internal classification of onomastic phraseology is provided for this purpose and the criteria for designation of phytonymic phraseology are determined. Such a system of markers embraces lexical units that are more or less connected with the plant world, as well as words denoting the species of plants. Phytonymic phraseologies were selected from relevant lexicographic sources and grouped on the basis of materials of Azerbaijani and English languages. The research shows that phytonymic phraseology forms an independent group in the onomastic phraseology of each language. The characteristics of the development of phytonomic phraseology by species and type names were studied and high frequency of some species’ names in phytonomic phraseology was found out. The article also addresses the issues over adequacy and equivalence of phytonomic phraseology of diferent-system languages. The study in this area indicates considerable role of phytonomic phraseology in the verbalization of national-cultural indicators. Direct connection of ethnocultural marker and the code with the onym used in the composition were clarified in phytonomic phraseology.

Esta entrevista se realizó el 6 de septiembre de 2019 con Kenneth Frampton, Ware Professor à la Graduate school of architecture, planning, and preservation, Columbia University of New York. Esta conversación forma parte de una serie de entrevistas con destacados historiadores y arquitectos que marcan la primera generación de estudios sobre la figura y la obra de Le Corbusier, realizada con el apoyo de la Fundación Le Corbusier. Este intercambio filmado y transcrito cuestiona el terreno en el que Kenneth Frampton ha estudiado a Le Corbusier e integrado la obra del arquitecto en su investigación sobre la arquitectura moderna. Aborda cuestiones relacionadas con la arquitectura y los edificios de Le Corbusier (como la Unité d’habitation, las villas Roq y Rob y la Maison de week-end); el proyecto del Movimiento Moderno y la influencia de sus ideas antes y después de las guerras mundiales en Europa, Londres, Gran Bretaña y la escena americana. Figuras como el Atelier 5, Peter Eisenman, Lluis Sert e instituciones como la Conference of Architects for the Study of the Environment y Harvard, así como una comprensión más profunda de nociones como el regionalismo crítico o lo vernáculo en la obra de Le Corbusier también han sido temas de conversación. Frampton evoca su relación con Le Corbusier y habla de sus escritos, como editor técnico de la revista Architectural Design y posteriormente como historiador, con la edición de Modern Architecture: A Critical History.
Giuliano Gresleri : «Interroger l’histoire», ou «les leçons du voyage»
Authors: Pauly Danièle
Published: October 2021

En janvier 2004, alors qu’il dédicaçait à mon heureuse intention son ouvrage Le Corbusier. Il linguaggio delle pietre, paru en 1988, Giuliano Gresleri écrivait : « on travaille dur chaque jour à l’intérieur d’un puit noir. On ne voit pas le fond et la lumière… On ne parvient jamais à la fin. Donc, la question est d’avancer, de continuer, de vouloir terminer, c’est une question de courage… ». Dans cet ouvrage, il publie la précieuse série d’aquarelles intitulée par le futur Le Corbusier : « le langage des pierres ». Dès 1985, il est ainsi le premier historien en Europe à s’intéresser au voyage d’Italie de 1907, identifiant, commentant et datant, au jour près, chacun des dessins et chacune des aquarelles, grâce notamment à l’étude de la correspondance corbuséenne, celle avec sa famille ou ses mentors Charles L’Eplattenier ou William Ritter ; tout cela à une époque où ces documents n’étaient alors accessibles que sous la forme de centaines de feuillets manuscrits qu’il convenait de décrypter.
Immagine e parola scritta. L’Esprit Nouveau 1920-1925, la costruzione del Purismo
Authors: Gresleri Giuliano
Published: October 2021

Questo saggio, parzialmente completato nel 1976, ha visto la luce in forma non completa sul n. 50 della rivista PARAMETRO dedicato a LʼEsprit Nouveau. Nella scarsa conoscenza che si aveva in quegli anni degli argomenti qui trattati, il lavoro preparatorio allo scritto che si è sviluppato in oltre un anno di ricerche presso la Fondation Le Corbusier di Parigi, è singolarmente scivolato in avanti rispetto alle ricerche che Carlo Olmo conduceva sullo stesso argomento un anno prima. Solo per caso i due testi non si sono incrociati. Dalla conoscenza e dalle discussioni accademiche e non, intervenute su quanto qui affermato è scaturita lʼidea di affrontare il problema concreto della ricostruzione de LʼEsprit Nouveau che, iniziata sotto la direzione scientifica mia e di José Oubrerie (1977) ha visto la luce nel settembre dello stesso anno. Ciò che vediamo oggi nel parco di Piazza della Costituzione è il restauro dell'opera che, dopo quarantʼanni di vita, mostrava evidenti segni di maquillage epidermico e strutturale.
Estudio comparativo de algoritmos de control para maniobras de DAECs* de primera generación y dos grados de libertad
Authors: Del Horno L. , Somolinos J.A. , Segura E. , Morales R.
Published: October 2021

Los Dispositivos de Aprovechamiento de la Energía de las Corrientes (DAECs), denominados de primera generación, se emplean para la obtención de la energía de las corrientes submarinas en profundidades que no superan los 40 ó 50 m, lo que los configura como estructuras apoyadas en el fondo marino. Para que la explotación energética de este recurso sea competitiva -desde una perspectiva técnica y económica-, se requiere superar diversos retos tecnológicos y además, reducir los gastos de explotación, focalizando los esfuerzos en un abaratamiento de los costos de mantenimiento. Gracias a la implantación de un sistema de control de lastres, se dotan a estos generadores de la posibilidad de cambiar automáticamente de orientación y profundidad durante las maniobras de emersión-inmersión que pueden reducir dichos costos. En este trabajo se presenta el modelado dinámico de un dispositivo de dos grados de libertad y varios algoritmos de control multivariable, todos ellos basados en una matriz no lineal de desacoplamiento, junto con el término de compensación de la pérdida de empuje en las cercanías de la superficie libre. Se evalúan las prestaciones de estos controladores mediante la simulación de la maniobra de emersión de un dispositivo a escala real, y se validan los resultados con un prototipo a escala en Canal de Ensayos. Finalmente, se comparan los resultados obtenidos en simulación y se presenta su validación experimental.
Introduction to the Special Issue: Inquiring Into, About, and During Covid-19
Authors: Dana Nancy Fichtman , Kilgore Karen
Published: October 2021

One of the most pervasive ways the inquiry movement has needed to be reshaped since its inception is as a mechanism to respond to a global pandemic. As COVID-19 necessitated an abrupt transition to remote delivery of instruction, teachers needed a powerful form of professional learning to understand and respond with changes to serve their students during this challenging time. At P. K. Yonge Developmental Research School, a K-12 school, the leadership team designed a Canvas website devoted to teacher inquiry, enabling teachers to share experiences, collaborate, and address issues regarding the abrupt transition to emergency remote instruction. In this issue, five pandemic inquiry teams present their reflective essays, to describe their collaborations to re-imagine classroom communities; empower students to express their views of the pandemic; re-construct curricula to capture essential learnings; modify for struggling students, and bridge the opportunity gap for students of color.
Sinister Resonance
Authors: Toop David
Published: September 2021

Sinister Resonance begins with the premise that sound is a haunting, a ghost, a presence whose location is ambiguous and whose existence is transitory. The intangibility of sound is uncanny – a phenomenal presence in the head, at its point of source and all around. The close listener is like a medium who draws out substance from that which is not entirely there.

The history of listening must be constructed from the narratives of myth and fiction, ‘silent’ arts such as painting, the resonance of architecture, auditory artefacts and nature. In such contexts, sound often functions as a metaphor for mystical revelation, forbidden desires, formlessness, the unknown, and the unconscious. As if reading a map of hitherto unexplored territory, Sinister Resonance deciphers sounds and silences buried within the ghostly horrors of Arthur Machen, Shirley Jackson, Charles Dickens, M.R. James and Edgar Allen Poe, Dutch genre painting from Rembrandt to Vermeer, artists as diverse as Francis Bacon and Juan Munoz, and the writing of many modernist authors including Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett, and James Joyce.
Intellectual humility: an old problem in a new psychological perspective
Authors: Bąk Wacław , Wójtowicz Bartosz , Kutnik Jan
Published: October 2021

Though having been emphasised by philosophers and theologians for centuries, it is only in the last few years that the concept of intellectual humility has been explicitly defined and studied by empirical psychology. However, it has been long enough to recognise the prominent role that being intellectually humble plays for humane functioning, both at an intra- and inter-individual level. Having started with a broader philosophical and historical context, the present paper discusses the psychological conceptualisations of intellectual humility. Then the recent empirical studies are reviewed, including four strands of research referring to personality traits, cognitive functioning, social relations and religiosity. After presenting selected results, the prospects of psychological research on intellectual humility are discussed, including the limitations and challenges of measurement techniques as well as possible directions for future studies.
Short Polish version of the Highly Sensitive Person
Scale – exploring its multidimensional structure
in a sample of emerging adults
Authors: Baryła-Matejczuk Monika , Poleszak Wiesław , Porzak Robert
Published: October 2021

Introduction

Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a heritable trait and persons who are characterized by a high level of it are termed highly sensitive. The first and the most frequently used scale developed to measure high sensitivity is the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), which has become increasingly popular and has been adapted to many languages in recent years. The present article forms a part of the publications which deal with the subject of tool adaptation and the exploration of their structure.

Material and methods

This article presents the results of research conducted on a Polish sample of emerging adults consisting of 470 persons. The aim of this study is to further analyse the psychometric properties of the HSPS, as well as to provide initial evidence for the properties of the scale on a Polish sample. The analyses conducted to date have been extended and the item response theory (IRT) model has been included. Also, a proposal for a shortened scale is presented.

Results

The results show that the Polish version of the HSPS constitutes a reliable method whose validity is proven by correlations with the Pavlovian Temperament Survey as well as being a reliable measure of the SPS construct.

Conclusions

The results obtained support the multi-factor structure of the scale. There is a need for further analysis of the cultural aspect in sensitivity studies as well as for exploring gender differences.
Satisfaction with job and life and remote work
in the COVID-19 pandemic: the role of perceived
stress, self-efficacy and self-esteem
Authors: Kondratowicz Blanka , Godlewska-Werner Dorota , Połomski Piotr , Khosla Meetu
Published: October 2021

Introduction

The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between performing remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of job and life satisfaction, as well as the assumed, intermediary role of the level of perceived stress and such resources as self-efficacy and self-esteem.

Material and methods

The study, implemented with the use of an internet application, included 283 employees. Data were gathered using a job and life satisfaction scale, the Short Scale for Measuring General Self-Efficacy Beliefs, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Perceived Stress Scale PSS-4 and a demographic information form.

Results

The results showed the existence of a relationship between performing remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and job and life satisfaction, and that the level of perceived stress, self-efficiency and self-esteem plays an intermediary role in this relationship. Remote working is associated with life and job satisfaction, and this relationship is mediated by levels of experienced stress, self-efficacy and self-esteem.

Conclusions

Findings indicate that remote working is associated with higher levels of job and work satisfaction. This relationship is mediated by levels of perceived stress, self-efficacy and self-esteem.
Volunteerism in the last year as a moderator
between empathy and altruistic social value
orientation: an exploratory study
Authors: Nowakowska Iwona
Published: October 2021

Introduction

Volunteerism is a sustained prosocial activity, and young adults are one of the most important targets for organizations recruiting volunteers. Empathy and altruistic social value orientation measured by a decomposed game are dispositional traits that might foster engagement in volunteerism.

Material and methods

Using a self-report online-based questionnaire study on two groups of young adults (aged 18-35, N = 224 non-volunteers and N = 178 volunteers in the last year) the relationship between empathy and altruistic social value orientation in both of these groups was explored.

Results

The results showed that volunteers scored significantly higher on empathy and altruistic social value orientation than non-volunteers. In non-volunteers, empathy is positively linked to altruistic social value orientation, whereas for volunteers the relationship is inversed.

Conclusions

The results provide evidence that volunteers, when high on empathy, might not necessarily be ready to share financial resources with others, as operationalized by a decomposed game.

Authors: Prykhodko Ihor
Published: October 2021

Introduction

From 2014 to the present, Ukrainian military personnel have been fighting in Eastern Ukraine against illegal armed formations of separatists. The resulting combat stress negatively affects servicemen’s mental health status. This study aimed to examine the factor structure of a scale to assess the psychological safety of a soldier’s personality (PSSP), taking into account changes in the conditions of military service to improve the professional and psychological training of military personnel.

Material and methods

The study involved 118 officers of the National Guard of Ukraine. The semantic differential method, expert judgment, and exploratory factor analysis were used to determine the factor structure of the PSSP.

Results

The PSSP model to maintain combat readiness in daily activities includes four components: “Moral and communicative”, “Motivational and volitional”, “Value and meaning of life” and “Inner comfort”. For activities in extreme conditions (during combat deployment), the personality potential of four structural components is used: “Moral and volitional regulation”, “Coping strategies”, “Value and meaning of life” and “Post-traumatic growth/regression”.

Conclusions

The PSSP model consists of four components that have different content depending on the conditions for performance of professional tasks by military personnel. It is advisable to use the obtained results of the content of the PSSP model in the development of professional and psychological training programs for the purposeful formation of the resilience of military personnel, taking into account the conditions of their activities.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease with an increasing prevalence all over the world. The treatment includes an integral intervention with medical treatment, healthy diet, and regular exercise. High Intensity Interval Training has been recently proposed as part of this treatment to improve glycaemic control. The aim of this meta-analysis is to determine the effect of High Intensity Interval Training on glycosylated haemoglobin in people with type 2 diabetes during at least 12 weeks of intervention. The search was performed in EBSCOHost, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and EMBASE. A total of 250 records were obtained and 22 studies met the inclusion criteria to be meta-analysed. The results showed that High Intensity Interval Training could significantly lower glycosylated haemoglobin; in the sedentary control group, glycosylated haemoglobin significantly increased, making glycaemic control worse. The improvement of glycosylated haemoglobin with High Intensity Interval Training can be influenced by diet, intensity of the intervals, and age. There were some limitations because of lack of control group and appropriate information in some studies. An adequate prescription program should be developed by a qualified professional to ensure best results.

À partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, la croissance urbaine rapide dans la région du Witwatersrand (Afrique du Sud) offre des perspectives d’avenir à une classe émergente de colporteurs et de camelots africains, ainsi qu’à des commerçants « indigènes » qui cherchent à s’établir de façon sédentaire dans les quartiers réservés aux « indigènes ». Le présent article étudie comment cette catégorie sociale naissante a grandement contribué à l’émergence d’une culture noire urbaine dynamique, alors même que ces acteurs sociaux luttaient, au temps de la ségrégation et de l’apartheid, pour établir des commerces viables et pour combattre les mesures racistes visant à exclure les Noirs des villes, ou à les marginaliser. Ce faisant, leur participation a été importante dans le développement de nouvelles pratiques culturelles noires dans les villes, surtout sur le plan des modes de consommation.
« En ville, les Africains sophistiqués ne mangent pas de ces plats-là »

Published: October 2021

Fondée en 1840, la ville de Bulawayo témoigne du développement urbain et de l’évolution des cultures alimentaires en Afrique australe et en Rhodésie du Sud (actuel Zimbabwe). Au temps du Gouvernement Responsable de 1923, la ville compte une population très diverse et s’impose non seulement comme le centre économique de la colonie britannique naissante, mais aussi comme le lieu emblématique des relations complexes entre Noirs et Blancs qui caractérisent la période coloniale. En s’appuyant sur l’histoire de la cuisine et des habitudes alimentaires liées aux petites céréales africaines – sorgho, millet et rapoko –, cet article retrace le développement de pratiques alimentaires nouvelles à Bulawayo. Basé sur les Archives nationales du Zimbabwe et l’historiographie existante, il a recours à l’histoire de ces petites céréales dans l’alimentation des citadins pour repenser certains aspects des relations socio-politiques entre Noirs et Blancs dans les cultures urbaines africaines, du début des années 1920 à l’aube de la Fédération des Rhodésies et du Nyassaland en 1953. Contribuant à une historiographie des villes africaines en plein essor, cet article démontre aussi comment, à l’époque coloniale, l’histoire des relations sociales et des changements de consommation à Bulawayo peut être analysée au prisme de l’estomac.

Since the dawn of mankind, science and faith have always been given as antonyms and have fought for popular recognition. However, these days the association between these areas is discussed for a better result, since believing in one of these aspects does not mean disregarding the importance of the other, even in terminal patients. The objective was to analyze the experience of spirituality/religion in supporting cancer patients and to discuss the lack of preparation and use of these tools by health professionals. The literature review was based on the BVS Brazil (Virtual Health Library), Google Scholar and PubMed databases from 2017 to 2020. The keywords used were “spirituality”, “religion”, “neoplasms” and "health". As an inclusion criterion, free full texts in English were used. The scientific search initially showed 86 articles where after the evaluation of their titles and respective abstracts, duplicates and those that were incompatible with the scope of the study were excluded, totaling 31 articles. After attaching an article separately, 31 articles were fully read for the construction of this work. Concluding that spirituality and religion are important in the lives of terminally ill patients who seek tools to cope with the disease and to continue treatment, showing the importance of these in the way of dealing with the patient, thus improving the prognosis.

COVID-19 pandemic seems to be associated with increased incidence in mental health disorders in pregnant women. Cross-sectional studies identified control measures, social isolation and recurrent fear of COVID-19 infection may rise risk of depression and suicidality in this specific population. Considering the consequences of the pandemic to health systems, such as saturation and the removal of health professionals, it is crucial to discuss and develop new strategies to maintain antenatal and psychiatric follow-ups to help prevent and treat impairments; teleconsultations may be an alternative to keep contact with these patients. Also, in anticipation of COVID-19 fourth wave (which includes increasing psychiatric disorders) it is important to strengthen mental health services to help absorb this demand.
