Chiesa cattolica e diffusione della “prassi pattizia” a livello locale in Italia. Una rinnovata stagione di relazioni
Authors: Bolgiani Isabella
Published: December 2018

Il crescente sviluppo in Italia, nell’ultimo ventennio, della prassi pattizia a livello decentrato apre la via ad una “ulteriore nuova stagione” di relazioni tra Stato e Chiesa cattolica. Si tratta di una condizione che risulta riconducibile ad una pluralità di fattori. Da un lato, occorre ricordare il percorso di evoluzione delle autonomie locali successivo alla riforma del Titolo V, Parte II della Costituzione e, dall’altro, le trasformazioni che hanno toccato il diritto della Chiesa con riferimento, in particolare, al ruolo delle Conferenze episcopali regionali.

E’ così possibile riscontrare nel tempo una sempre più significativa presenza di accordi a livello regionale ed “infra-regionale”. Al riguardo, si deve tuttavia precisare come, mentre la prima tipologia di fonti appaia inquadrabile prevalentemente in tre “macro-aree”, sia pure suscettibili di espansione qualora tale necessità venga avvertita, il secondo gruppo di accordi mostri contenuti estremamente diversificati quanto ai temi affrontati. Ciò nasce dall’esigenza di offrire risposte ai bisogni specifici di una determinata comunità, mediante relazioni tra i soggetti istituzionali e confessionali ad essa più vicini presenti sul territorio.

In questo senso, può affermarsi come nell’ambito sociale, complice l’attuale percorso rivolto alla realizzazione di una cittadinanza “partecipativa”, il principio di sussidiarietà orizzontale trovi il suo “punto di contatto” con quello di collaborazione, sancito dall’art. 1 dell’Accordo di revisione concordataria. Si è dunque di fronte ad un articolato sistema di fonti, aventi diversa natura giuridica, ma in grado di misurarsi – in forza della loro duttilità – con la costante evoluzione dell’ordinamento civile e canonico, nel pieno rispetto del principio di laicità dello Stato.
Konstytucyjna zasada oddzielenia państwa od kościoła w działalności Wydziału do Spraw Wyznań Urzędu Wojewódzkiego w Krośnie wobec Kościoła Katolickiego
Authors: Dyda Konrad
Published: December 2018

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza działań Wydziału do Spraw Wyznań w Krośnie wobec Kościoła Katolickiego w perspektywie realizacji konstytucyjnej zasady oddzielenia państwa od kościoła. Konstytucja Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej z 22 lipca 1952 roku stanowiła, że kościół jest oddzielony od państwa (art. 70 ust. 2) i jednocześnie może swobodnie wypełniać swoje funkcje religijne (art. 70 ust. 1). Regulacja ta dotyczyła także innych związków wyznaniowych. Ówczesna nauka prawa konstytucyjnego pojmowała tę swobodę jako wolność głoszenia doktryny, organizowania zgromadzeń religijnych, udzielania posług, nauczania, tworzenia zakonów, utrzymywania kontaktów z zagranicznymi współwyznawcami. Swoistym standardem wobec Kościoła Katolickiego stało się dyskryminujące stosowanie prawa. Za przykład takiej sytuacji można uznać blokowanie i ograniczanie budownictwa sakralnego za pomocą środków prawnych – zwłaszcza karnych i administracyjnych. Wydział do Spraw Wyznań w Krośnie zasadę oddzielenia państwa od kościoła pojmował jako pełną laicyzację życia społecznego prowadząc m.in. akcję przeciwdziałania rozwojowi budownictwa sakralnego oraz podejmowania inicjatyw duszpasterskich przez kler katolicki (zwłaszcza w zakresie duszpasterstwa młodzieży).

Controling and governance of audiovisual media services in Poland
Authors: Zvozdetska Oksana
Published: December 2018

The paper attempts to outline the Polish National Broadcasting Council’s establishing and evaluating its activities. The author observes that after 1989, one of the most essential achievements of the Polish media market was the creation of the National Broadcasting Council (Krajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji KRRiT), that laid the foundations for a new media landscape in Poland. In a broader perspective, despite being criticized, the National Broadcasting Council is to meet high expectations for the electronic media regulation, its impact on state policy in implementing cultural and educational tasks by the Polish community broadcasters. Concurrently, making mistakes and handling criticism was partly caused by the Council politicization bias, a large executive subordination that doesn’t comply both with the Law “On Television and Radio Broadcasting” and European practice. Notable, the success of community broadcasters, who value interaction with viewers and listeners, should be a model for audiovisual sector to emulate.

Liberal Pluralism and Multiculturalism in Central and Eastern Europe (W. Kymlicka Views’ Analysis)
Authors: Kozachuk Oleh
Published: December 2018

Will Kymlicka is widely known in the world for the research in the field of the theoretical principles of liberal pluralism and justification of the policy of multiculturalism. In his scientific work, he pays attention not onlyto his native Canada but also draws attention to other regions of the world, including Central and Eastern Europe. The scientist asks whether the export of Western model of liberal pluralism and multiculturalism policies available in the region? Are Western models of multiculturalism and minority rights relevant for the post-Communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe? In the following article, we analyze Will Kymlicka’s views on this issue. Kymlicka explains why conventional ways of distinguishing between ethnic relations in the East and West do not help in understanding or responding to ethnic conflicts in the post-Communist world. He argues why the states of Central and Eastern Europe are not inherent in the territorial autonomy in their state building. He also argues why federalism as a form of government is not the solution of interethnic interaction’s problems. In addition, Will Kymlicka tries to highlight the unique characteristics of the region, which do not suggest the possibility of the introduction of liberal pluralism and multiculturalism in Central and Eastern Europe in the near future.

Main trends and contents of updates political and ideological principles Russian Federation
Authors: Melnychuk Ihor
Published: December 2018

Nowadays RF have a lot of obstacles. The intense process of globalization, the rapid development of information technology, development of a new instruments of geo-cultural and ideological influence not only lead to problems in the way of expansion of the Russian world, but also to the need to enhance the security of the current geo-cultural space of Russian Federation and design its system concept.

The author notes that the new internal doctrine of RF is penetrated by a nostalgia for a powerful state status. Its main task is to strengthen the unity of society by strengthening civic identity. Therefore we do not underestimate the practical importance of theoretical developments in cultural, ideological and informational spheres.

The ideology which promoted by Russian state media includes the concept of «russkiy mir» that actually justify claims to territories which are inhabited by ethnic Russians. This idea appeals to the Orthodox fundamentalism, as well as the Eurasian geopolitical and historical myths of permanent confrontation between Russia and the West. The main reason for the success of ideological propaganda – in a primitive but effective substitution of concepts.

In conclusion the author stresses that the process of forming a single geo-cultural world of the Russian Federation does not impose functional and effective integration ideology and current Russian civilization and socio-cultural projects are not attractive and competitive position to societies and elites of neighbor states but can be used to consolidate the political situation inside Russia.

Migration Processes in the EU as an Imperative of Cosmopolitanism in the Theory of the Second Modern E. Giddens
Authors: Mykhailytsia Kateryna
Published: December 2018

The article analyzes migration processes in the European Union as an imperative of cosmopolitanism in the theory of the Second Modern by E. Giddens. It is established that when assessing migration processes in the context of the crisis of the policy of European multiculturalism, the scientist, as a representative of the theory of the Second Modern, proves that they coincided with deeper transformations in the system of political relations and political communication. A system of Giddens's arguments has been defined in favor of the thesis that migration in European societies of the Second Modern is not so much a local or regional issue as a result and a means of globalization. An important element in the theory of the Second Modern E. Giddens is the characterization of migration through the reference to the concept of “diaspora”, which exist today in the form of not only physical but also virtual communities, which are often characterized by a higher degree of self-awareness than before. E. Giddens argues that the European rethinking of the essence of migration processes occurs in the context of the crisis of the paradigm of multiculturalism. In the societies of the Second Modern, the political risks caused by the system of migration - globalization, arise when individual groups of society are treated as “isolated and another’s” or when they refer to themselves as such.

It was suggested to perceive the partnership establishment, in particular in the plane of international relations, as a new form of cooperation in transformation challenges and in the establishment of threats for the existence of modern global system of international relations. The need of further investigation of equal partnership in the legal framework and in the system of international relations was proved.

Cross-border regions most often are territories which are claimed by two neighbouring countries. History of the last several hundred years shows that treaties, agreements concerning borders and arrangements did not offer assurance to keep demarcated borders. The dispute about the most benificial demarcation dominated in the foreign policy, which very often led to armed conflict.

Refugees, as a challenge to the modern migration policy of the European Union
Authors: Vatamanyuk Anastasiya
Published: December 2018

The article presents migration policy of the European Union and its evolution under the influence of modern challenges, including the problem of Refugee.In the context of recent events, the problem with the number of refugees in the world is becoming more and more urgent. Due to the instability and the state of war, the policy of regulation and management of migration flows has deteriorated and complicated in general. This explains why the issue of solving the problem of refugees and illegal migrants is on the agenda in Europe today. To stop the huge flow of refugees can be possible only by applying the radical changes of the situation in the problem countries, such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, by not only fighting against migration, but also implementing appropriate administration.

The increase in the number of terrorist attacks, the social tension among the citizens of the recipient countries, the aggressive refugees’ attacks on peaceful citizens, the criminal action against the police and other executive branches, the mass riots in the developed, democratic countries lead to some correction of the European migration policy. The increased number of refugees in the last 5 years forces the European community not only to help and support the victims, but also to introduce stricter measures to protect their own borders, citizens and political stability.

Keywords: The refugees, the migration policy, the European Union, the donor countries, the recipient countries

Along with traditional engineering knowledge and skills, this training should provide the development of students’ competencies in the field of computer technology for design automation, production preparation. It is noted that the rich practical experience of engineers and teachers of the older generation in new conditions becomes obsolete; they can hardly acquire the rapidly changing computer systems of scientific research of subject areas, new technologies, such as 3D graphics and engineering analysis of structures, the system digitalization of production technologies as a whole. To train specialists of a new generation, technical universities should provide: modern educational and laboratory facilities including various computer and controller systems; applicants who have sufficient basic background and technical aptitude; high-skilled teaching staff specialized in modern computer technology willing to upgrade their teaching skills and personal qualifications. The paper dwells on the state support measures for universities to improve personnel training for high-tech industries, which include as a priority the system of personnel training for the military-industrial complex. The authors present an accumulated experience of the Aerospace Institute of the Orenburg State University in the area of stage-by-stage construction of modern educational and laboratory facilities, the formation of student contingent, retraining and raising qualification of the teaching staff, interaction with employers and partners.
Horizontal Management at Russian University: Current Trend or Urgent Need?
Authors: Butsyk S. V.
Published: December 2018

The article addresses an actual problem of using horizontal methods in university management in Russia. Two organizational processes are analyzed, which are relatively new for Russian universities, which came, in many respects, from the Western education system: postgraduate training (Master’s programs) and training of foreign citizens in the preparatory departments (programs in Russian). These two processes, in the opinion of the author, over the past few years could become a platform for approbation of new modern approaches to management in Russian universities and institutes. The sample study included three federal universities located in one of the regions of Russia (classical university, university for humanities and pedagogy, and institute of culture and arts). It is shown that large educational organizations, as a rule, try to integrate new processes in the traditional (vertical) management structure. The basic prerequisites for implementing horizontal ma- nagement in the institutes of culture, were mainly economic, not organizational or innovative. At the same time, the practical experience of using mixed (horizontal-vertical) management structures in the Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture and Arts showed positive results both in terms of economic and educational-organizational indicators.

In this regard, the purpose of this publication is to substantiate scientifically the key aspects of the relationship between the merger of universities and the competitiveness of their educational activities in order to develop practical recommendations for managing the process of university merger.

As an empirical base of the research, the published data on 53 leading universities in Russia were used, most of them have experienced merger processes (federal universities, Universities of Project 5-100, national research universities, “first wave” pillar universities). As a methodical basis for the study, we used generalization, comparison, abstraction, prediction; methods of empirical research: interviewing focus groups, content analysis of universities’ Web sites, expert evaluation, case-method.

The paper considers the theoretical and methodological grounds of university competitiveness in the conditions of higher education modernization, measurement indicators and factors influencing the competitiveness of university’s educational activity. The analysis of the results of university merger is carried out, the specifics of this processes as an instrument for the development of higher education in Russia is highlighted. A methodology has been developed and implemented to justify the interconnection of universities and the competitiveness of their educational activities. The key aspects of the interconnection of university associations and the competitiveness of their educational activities have been determined, taking into account the positive and negative effects resulting from the merger. The author gives practical recommendations on managing the process of university merger with the purpose to increase the level of competitiveness of their educational activities.

The results of the conducted research show the direct relationship between the process of universities’ merger and the preservation of their competitiveness in the development of educational activities. The author stresses the predominantly positive impact of merger processes on the educational potential of an enlarged university.

Published: December 2018

Este artigo comunica sobre a memória e a cultura imaterial por meio das práticas do trabalho artesanal e, indagando como tem se dado o processo de transmissões desses saberes. Partindo desse posicionamento desenvolvemos uma investigação para responder a seguinte indagação da pesquisa: Como têm sido as trocas de saberes e o desenvolvimento dessa cultura imaterial em Paranã, TO? Acreditando que o patrimônio imaterial seja uma herança e, que precisa ser empoderada e repassada às novas gerações, delineamos esses objetivos: descrever e contextualizar a historiografia do patrimônio imaterial e as produções artesanais dessa tradição; identificar a diversidade material nas produções artesanais e relacionar os aspectos do patrimônio imaterial ao material das práticas artesanais. Nesse sentido, com fotografias, filmagens, questionários individuais, entrevistas semi estruturadas e não estruturadas elencou-se um forte significado no tocante às atividades artesanais com o uso da madeira, do buriti e do barro nos relatos dos próprios atores. Além disso, inspirou-se em alguns autores, dos quais cabem citar: Maia (2007); Pedreira (2012); Pelegrini (2008); Rede (1996) e Rovai (2013), trabalhos que serviram como subsídios cruciais para esse estudo. Os resultados dessa pesquisa indicam que muitas dessas práticas artesanais que vigoram até os dias atuais, têm ficado em situação marginalizada, pois os meios de produções e as condições materiais em que artesãos/artesãs enfrentam para produzirem seus trabalhos têm diminuído ao longo do tempo, bem como a interação desses saberes e fazeres também às futuras gerações.
MÚSICA NEOCAIPIRA E A RETERRITORIALIZAÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE CAIPIRA
Authors: Malaquias Denis Rilk
Published: December 2018

A música caipira no decorrer da sua história sempre demonstrou ser pré-disposta a influência de gêneros musicais alheios. Essa se evidencia ainda mais a partir da sua entrada no mercado fonográfico. Dentre os fatores contribuintes para uma mescla cultural na música caipira, levamos em consideração nessa análise fenômenos de ordem geográfica, como o êxodo rural, pois no instante que o caipira transfere sua moradia para os centros urbanos, este fica diretamente exposto a novas dimensões culturais, que outrora no campo teria mais dificuldade de acesso. Ressaltamos ainda, o fenômeno da globalização como outro fator influenciador, sobretudo com a difusão da cultura de massa através dos vários meios de informação, o rádio, a TV e etc. Com isso, grande parte dos “caipiras” enveredaram-se influenciados por tendências musicais alheias ao seu campo de produção, especialmente de músicas populares massivas. Em meio a esse panorama surge um grupo de violeiros dispostos a retrabalhar a música caipira. Incorporando nessa elementos advindos principalmente da música erudita em suas performances no instrumento. Essa música hibridizada e ressignificada desses violeiros denominados como neocaipiras, seria de certa forma uma reterritorialização (HAESBAERT, 2009), e não uma desconfiguração da identidade caipira. Com isso, além de se reterritorializar culturalmente, estes, através dessa música, vêm conquistando também respeito e prestigio cultural que não se havia alcançado em nenhuma outra fase da música caipira. Inclusive um apreço acadêmico-erudito. Esse trabalho tem como objeto de estudo a música produzida pelos violeiros neocaipiras, nas suas implicações representacionais e idenditárias relacionadas com a territorialidade caipira.

Partindo desse posicionamento desenvolvemos uma investigação para responder a seguinte indagação da pesquisa: Como têm sido as trocas de saberes e o desenvolvimento dessa cultura imaterial em Paranã, TO? Acreditando que o patrimônio imaterial seja uma herança e, que precisa ser empoderada e repassada às novas gerações, delineamos esses objetivos: descrever e contextualizar a historiografia do patrimônio imaterial e as produções artesanais dessa tradição; identificar a diversidade material nas produções artesanais e relacionar os aspectos do patrimônio imaterial ao material das práticas artesanais. Nesse sentido, com fotografias, filmagens, questionários individuais, entrevistas semi estruturadas e não estruturadas elencou-se um forte significado no tocante às atividades artesanais com o uso da madeira, do buriti e do barro nos relatos dos próprios atores. Além disso, inspirou-se em alguns autores, dos quais cabem citar: Maia (2007); Pedreira (2012); Pelegrini (2008); Rede (1996) e Rovai (2013), trabalhos que serviram como subsídios cruciais para esse estudo. Os resultados dessa pesquisa indicam que muitas dessas práticas artesanais que vigoram até os dias atuais, têm ficado em situação marginalizada, pois os meios de produções e as condições materiais em que artesãos/artesãs enfrentam para produzirem seus trabalhos têm diminuído ao longo do tempo, bem como a interação desses saberes e fazeres também às futuras gerações.

Comprehensive studies were performed during an acute outbreak of horses with symptoms of exanthematous lesions of the external genitalia, observed in 2018. The lesion of the external genital organs was observed in the form of puffiness of the vestibule of the vagina and vulva in mares and prepuce in stallions, formation on the mucous membrane and skin of papules, vesicles and pustules, in the last stage - ulceration and crusts on the affected areas. A fragment of the genome of equine herpesvirus type 3, the causative agent of coital exanthema, was found in scrapings from the affected areas using the methods of molecular genetic analysis. The results of the determination of nucleotide sequences showed a high degree of phylogenetic relationship with the strain «YS-1» isolated from sick horses in Japan in 2017. The homology of alignment of nucleotide sequences within the studied region of the genome ― a fragment of the gpG gene (813…1292 bp) ― was 100 %. In 90 % of the samples containing the DNA of the coital exanthema virus, DNA of the virus of rhinopneumonia-viral abortion (equine herpesvirus type 1) was also found, and only in 10 % of cases monoinfection of EHV-3 was observed. Participation in the EHV-1 infectious process was confirmed by a retrospective serological study. In NT, antibodies to EHV-1 were detected in a titer of 1: 16…1: 32. A comparative analysis of retrospective data showed that a similar outbreak of coital exanthema observed in 1980–81 was due to EHV-3 monoinfection.

Genangan air di Jalan Cak Doko khususnya di depan SMA Negeri 1 Kupang, sudah sangat memprihatinkan, karena genangan yang terjadi bisa mencapai ketinggian hingga 0.75 m, sehingga sangat mengganggu aktivitas lalulintas di lokasi tersebut. Genangan air di ruas jalan ini sering menyebabkan kemacetan karena, kendaraan yang melewatinya harus mengurangi kecepatan untuk menghindari cipratan air dan kemungkinan adanya lubang pada jalan, bahkan tak jarang ada kendaraan yang mogok karena mesin kendaraan tiba-tiba mati. Selain itu, genangan air tersebut juga dapat menyebabkan kerusakan jalan yang berpotensi membentuk lubang atau cekungan yang membuat jalan tidak rata sehingga rawan kecelakaan. Dengan kondisi tersebut, maka diperlukan suatu studi untuk mengevaluasi dan menentukan upaya penanganan terhadap permasalahan genangan air/banjir yang ada di Kota Kupang, khususnya di Jalan Cak Doko Kelurahan Oetete. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi di lapangan terhadap jaringan drainase yang ada di lokasi studi, terlihat bahwa saluran drainase secara umum sudah tidak berfungsi dengan baik, karena di dalam saluran terdapat banyak sekali sedimen dan sampah-sampah, baik itu sampah organik maupun sampah non organik sehingga menyebabkan penyempitan saluran. Genangan banjir di jalan Cak Doko (depan SMAN I) terjadi karena beberapa hal, antara lain adanya perubahan penggunaan lahan, di mana banyak daerah resapan yang kini telah beralih fungsi menjadi kawasan perumahan, sekolah, dan gedung lainnya, selain itu lahan-lahan kosong di sekitar gedung dan permukiman, banyak yang sudah dibeton, atau dipaving, sehingga mengurangi lahan untuk peresapan, serta adanya penyempitan saluran akibat sedimen dan sampah, sehingga saluran drainase tidak lagi mampu menampung air hujan, yang akhirnya menyebabkan luapan yang menggenangi daerah-daerah cekungan, terutama di sekitar jalan Cak doko. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi debit banjir rencana periode kala ulang 5 tahun terhadap kapasitas saluran eksisting diperoleh kapasitas saluran (Qs) lebih kecil dari debit banjir rencana (Qr) sehingga kapasitas saluran eksisting tidak dapat menampung debit banjir yang terjadi. Saluran drainase eksisting juga tidak berfungsi dengan baik yang disebabkan terdapat banyak sekali sedimen dan sampah baik itu sampah organik maupun sampah non organik yang masuk ke dalam saluran sehingga menyebabkan penyempitan saluran. Dari hasil evaluasi kondisi debit banjir rencana terhadap kapasitas saluran eksisting, maka diperoleh pada ruas 1 sampai ruas 6 kapasitas saluran (Qs) lebih kecil dari debit banjir rencana (Qr), sehingga saluran drainase pada ruas 1 sampai ruas 6 tersebut tidak dapat menampung debit banjir rencana. Oleh kerena itu, perlu direkomendasikan untuk merencanakan dimensi saluran berdasarkan hasil perhitungan debit banjir rencana (Qr) kala ulang 5 tahun agar dapat menampung dan mengalirkan debit air hujan dan debit air kotor yang terjadi.

Permasalahan yang dihadapi penyelenggara di Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) adalah ketidakseimbangan alokasi dana dengan tingkat kerusakan jaringan jalan kabupaten. Realisasi Penanganan jalan di Kabupaten TTS sejak tahun 2011 hingga tahun 2014 terjadi peningkatan panjang jalan pada kondisi baik dan kondisi sedang, untuk kondisi rusak ringan dan rusak berat mengalami penurunan. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui kebutuhan biaya penanganan jaringan jalan, mendapatkan model optimasi biaya penanganan jalan, dan juga mendapatkan urutan prioritas penanganan jalan. Penelitian ini menggunakan Metode Simpleks untuk menyusun model optimasi biaya penanganan jalan berdasarkan kondisi jalan dan biaya penanganan jalan, Metode Metode Analitic Hierarchy Process (AHP) untuk mengetahui urutan prioritas penanganan jalan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa total kebutuhan anggaran penanganan jalan tanpa peningkatan lapis permukaan jalan sebesar Rp. 90.097.135.000, penanganan jalan dengan peningkatan lapis permukaan jalan menjadi Lapis penetrasi macadam sebesar Rp. 195.940.825.000. Model optimasi biaya untuk skenario penanganan jalan tanpa peningkatan lapis permukaan jalan adalah Y = 42713,955 + 499,299 ΔX4 dimana X4 adalah pekerjaan rekonstruksi perkerasan beraspal, sedangkan untuk model optimasi biaya peningkatan lapis permukaan jalan menjadi lapis penetrasi macadam adalah Y = 46266,005 + 623,165 ΔX7 dengan X7 adalah pekerjaan peningkatan perkerasan tanpa pengikat aspal. Urutan prioritas penanganan jalan dengan metode (AHP) ditinjau berdasarkan persepsi stakeholder’s adalah, Ruas jalan dalam kota Soe, ruas jalan oe’oh – Wanibesak, ruas jalan Tumu – Kolbano, ruas jalan Neonmat – Kolbano, ruas jalan Oinlasi – Menu, ruas jalan Oinlasi – Kotolin, ruas jalan Pope – Panite, ruas jalan Sp. Mnelaanen – Fatuatoni, ruas jalan Kaeneno – Nasi, ruas jalan Naususu – Noebesi, ruas jalan Benlutu – Bati, ruas jalan Sp. Kilobesa – Oenino.
