Authors: Lembcke Oliver W.
Published: May 2022

The article undertakes an overall view of the political science contributions to federal constitutional court research in the last 15 years. It assigns the development strands to different designs and theoretical paradigms. What follows is a brief introduction into the relationship between the rule of law and constitutional courts and a short review of the relevant impulses and favoring factors within the German-speaking research landscape for this branch of research. This overview reviews then three research fields – rationalities of action, networks, and impact – are examined in more detail and their innovations and desiderata.

Remarks on Government of Dalmatia in the Twelfth Century
Authors: Szeberényi Gábor
Published: May 2022

Because of the rare and very heterogenous sources, reconstructions of medieval governmental systems in ‘frontier zones’ such as twelfth-century Dalmatia can only often be based on the titles of governing officials, and on terms used for denominating the ruled territories. In this paper the author – after the examination of terms used in Venetian, Byzantine, and Hungarian official writings referring to Dalmatia - concludes that if we can contextualize these terms by taking into consideration of regional origins and local contexts of their meanings and their usage, structural differences and similarities lying behind the superficialy identical terminology can be revealed.

Prokopovich, Pravda and Proof: Some Myths about Pravda Voli Monarshei
Authors: Lentin Antony
Published: May 2022

Revisiting some conclusions advanced in his 1996 edition of Pravda Voli Monarshei, the author first considers the meaning of 'Pravda' in the title of the work. He then reconsiders the doubts as to its authorship raised by James Cracraft in 1981 in his influential article 'Did Feofan Prokopovich really write Pravda Voli Monarshei?' (Slavic Review, vol. 40, No. 2, pp.173-93). Finally he examines the accepted belief, now current for almost a century, that Hobbes is a source of Pravda Voli Monarshei.

Symbols of power in the wills of the Grand Princes of Moscow (14th– 15th Centuries)

After a thorough examination of the valuables listed in the will, I came to the conclusion that symbols of the later autocratic political power (gold cap, barmy, carneol box, gold chain with cross) first became part of the inheritance of the eldest son in the will of Vasily II in 1462. It was during the reign of Vasily II that they acquired a prominent role and became the regal symbols of the first-born son, the future Grand Prince.
Einige Bemerkungen zur gescheiterten Kronkandidatur Bertholds V. von Zähringen im März 1198
Authors: Srodecki Paul
Published: May 2022

Following the death of Emperor Henry VI on September 28th 1197 in Messina, Sicily, a dispute arose over the accession to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. A large opposition to the Staufer dynasty, centred around the “kingmaker” Adolf I of Altena, the Archbishop of Cologne, refused to accept Frederick, the deceased emperor`s two-year-old son, as successor. As a result of this resistance, Philip, Henry VI’s brother and Duke of Swabia, declared his candidacy for the Roman-German throne. His election by the pro-Staufer party in Mühlhausen on March 8th 1198 finally led to his coronation in Mainz half a year later. Meanwhile, the anti-Staufer group of nobles searched for their own suitable counter-candidate. Before the election in Cologne on June 9th 1198 of Otto of Poitou, the son of the Welf Henry the Lion and the nephew of English king Richard Lionheart, Adolf of Altena looked for other alternatives. Besides Duke Bernhard of Saxony, who relinquished his candidacy fairly early on, another who took on this role was Berthold of Zähringen. The following essay will explore his candidacy.
Delegated Papal Jurisdiction and the Religious Orders in the Diocese of Veszprém in the First Half of the 13th Century
Authors: Barabás Gábor
Published: May 2022

The paper is a short contribution to the history of papal delegated jurisdiction in Hungary in the first half of 13th century. The main aim of the study is to analyse the participation of the monasteries of religious orders in the diocese of Veszprém at the practical work of the system of papal judge-delegation. The connection could be formed in two quite separated ways: their officials, or as legal persons the convents themselves could function either as papal judges-delegate in foreign litigations, or they could be contestants of their own cases. The paper introduces the known cases of the second group from the selected era, since the main characteristics of the activities as papal judges-delegate are presented as well.
The Role of Economy in the Early Wars of Novgorod
Authors: Péderi Tamás
Published: May 2022

Novgorod became the mercantile centre of the Northern Rus’ in the 10th century. After the city (or city-state) gained independence from Kiev in 1136, its main aim was to keep this position as its economy was based on trade. Evidently, the military and economic interests of the Novgorodian elite met and determined the city’s war policy. The early period, especially the 12th century was the creation of the “Novgorod Land”, expanding the city’s possessions in all corners of the region. During this expansion, Novgorod conquered local tribes and settlements in north-eastern Europe but instead of incorporating them directly into its realm, the city-state rather maintained taxing centres to get primary products as tribute for the Baltic trade. This expansive period ended around the 1220s when strong new enemies appeared at Novgorod’s borders: “Latin” crusaders in the West and Mongols in the East. Facing these new challenges Novgorod strengthened its dependencies and began to follow new, defensive policy. In this paper, my aim is to introduce the early, expansive period of Novgorod’s history and to highlight the links between the military activities and the economic interests of the city.
Evaluación del impacto de la urbanización y el cambio climático sobre la recarga de aguas subterráneas y el balance hidrológico en la subcuenca del río Turbio, Guanajuato
Authors: Orozco Medina Ismael , Aguilera Rico Hugo Alejandro , Martínez Bárcenas Adrián , Pineda Capacho Pablo Andrés
Published: May 2022

Evaluar los potenciales impactos del cambio climático y las urbanizaciones en un sistema hidrológico resulta de gran importancia al momento de elaborar estrategias de mitigación y adaptación para garantizar agua a todos los sectores de la población. Es por ello, que en esta investigación se evalúa, mediante proyecciones y un modelo hidrológico distribuido, los efectos de una de las zonas urbanas más importantes del estado de Guanajuato sobre los procesos del ciclo hidrológico, específicamente en la recarga de los acuíferos y las implicaciones futuras que tendrá el cambio climático en las grandes ciudades. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la precipitación disminuirá y el almacenamiento en el suelo se verá reducido principalmente en las zonas urbanas. Se producirá menor infiltración y percolación en el sistema. En condiciones de cambio climático se pronostica una disminución en la recarga de los acuíferos de hasta un 24.9% para el año 2035.
Narrating Looted and Living Palestinian Archives
Authors: Estefan Kareem
Published: May 2022

After the Palestine Liberation Organization withdrew from Beirut as a result of Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, the most significant Palestinian film archive, comprising more than 100 documentaries, was nowhere to be found. This article examines Kings and Extras: Digging for a Palestinian Image (dir. Azza El-Hassan, 2004), a documentary that ostensibly chronicles the director’s search for the archive, but ultimately explores Palestinians’ recurrent efforts to narrate and visualize their historical reality in the face of archival appropriation and destruction. As El-Hassan travels between Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and occupied Palestine, her journey becomes a quest for Palestinian freedom dreams, generating its own, living archive, uniquely Palestinian in its unauthorized, stateless, and itinerant form. Engaging Palestinian archival imaginaries alongside decolonial feminist critiques of positivist historiography, I propose “reparative fabulation” as an act of the radical narrative imagination that animates unrealized political potentialities glimpsed in the gaps endemic to violated archives.
Specific N‐glycans regulate an extracellular adhesion complex during somatosensory dendrite patterning
Authors: Rahman Maisha , Ramirez‐Suarez Nelson J , Diaz‐Balzac Carlos A , Bülow Hannes E
Published: May 2022

N‐glycans are molecularly diverse sugars borne by over 70% of proteins transiting the secretory pathway and have been implicated in protein folding, stability, and localization. Mutations in genes important for N‐glycosylation result in congenital disorders of glycosylation that are often associated with intellectual disability. Here, we show that structurally distinct N‐glycans regulate an extracellular protein complex involved in the patterning of somatosensory dendrites in Caenorhabditis elegans. Specifically, aman‐2/Golgi alpha‐mannosidase II, a conserved key enzyme in the biosynthesis of specific N‐glycans, regulates the activity of the Menorin adhesion complex without obviously affecting the protein stability and localization of its components. AMAN‐2 functions cell‐autonomously to allow for decoration of the neuronal transmembrane receptor DMA‐1/LRR‐TM with the correct set of high‐mannose/hybrid/paucimannose N‐glycans. Moreover, distinct types of N‐glycans on specific N‐glycosylation sites regulate DMA‐1/LRR‐TM receptor function, which, together with three other extracellular proteins, forms the Menorin adhesion complex. In summary, specific N‐glycan structures regulate dendrite patterning by coordinating the activity of an extracellular adhesion complex, suggesting that the molecular diversity of N‐glycans can contribute to developmental specificity in the nervous system.
Impact of parathyroidectomy on quality of life in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1

Published: May 2022

Background

Potential influences of parathyroidectomy (PTx) on the quality of life (QoL) in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1-related primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT/MEN1) are unknown.

Method

Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire was prospectively applied to 30 HPT/MEN1 patients submitted to PTx (20, subtotal; 10, total with autograft) before, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Parameters that were analyzed included QoL, age, HPT-related symptoms, general pain, comorbidities, biochemical/hormonal response, PTx type and parathyroid volume.

Results

Asymptomatic patients were younger (30 vs 38 years; P = 0.04) and presented higher QoL scores than symptomatic ones: Physical Component Summary score (PCS) 92.5 vs 61.2, P = 0.0051; Mental Component Summary score (MCS) 82.0 vs 56.0, P = 0.04. In both groups, QoL remained stable 1 year after PTx, independently of the number of comorbidities. Preoperative general pain was negatively correlated with PCS (r = −0.60, P = 0.0004) and MCS (r = −0.57, P = 0.0009). Also, moderate/intense pain was progressively (6/12 months) more frequent in cases developing hypoparathyroidism. The PTx type and hypoparathyroidism did not affect the QoL at 12 months although remnant parathyroid tissue volume did have a positive correlation (P = 0.0490; r = 0.3625) to PCS 12 months after surgery. Patients with one to two comorbidities had as pre-PTx PCS (P = 0.0015) as 12 months and post-PTx PCS (P = 0.0031) and MCS (P = 0.0365) better than patients with three to four comorbidities.

Conclusion

A variable QoL profile was underscored in HPT/MEN1 reflecting multiple factors associated with this complex disorder as comorbidities, advanced age at PTx and presence of preoperative symptoms or of general pain perception. Our data encourage the early indication of PTx in HPT/MEN1 by providing known metabolic benefits to target organs and avoiding potential negative impact on QoL.
Repensar la restricción externa en tiempos de pandemia: la política de empleador de última instancia para Latinoamérica.
Authors: Cruz Hidalgo Esteban , Mario Agustín
Published: May 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer la estrategia de desarrollo de la peri­feria, proponiendo un cambio de perspectiva: en lugar de buscar conseguir divisas para crecer y, con ello, generar empleo, se defiende un estabilizador automático, basado en una reserva de empleados, lo que llamamos política de empleador de última instancia, como eje para una estrategia de desarrollo, estable y autónoma. Si bien la periferia puede ver limitada su capacidad de importar, argumentamos que los gobiernos eligen entre el pleno empleo y el desempleo. Los efectos económicos de la pandemia de COVID-19 obligan a examinar esta elección.

Tres momentos de la época del coronavirus: obedecer, indignarse y sublevarse
Authors: Gallo Acosta Jairo
Published: May 2022

Así como hay un instante de ver, un tiempo de comprender y un momento de concluir en la teoría lacaniana, también hay un instante de obedecer, un tiempo de indignarse y un momento de sublevarse. Lacan introduce estos tiempos lógicos para pensar el lugar del Otro. En este trabajo se introducirán otros tiempos lógicos para pensar el lugar del coronavirus en nuestra realidad. El coronavirus y su pandemia han ocasionado una serie de respuestas subjetivas ante la angustia como la obediencia y la indignación; la propuesta en este trabajo es que existe otro camino, una salida a esa angustia por medio del acto de sublevarse con los otros.
El nazismo es la especie. Lacan, Adorno, Horkheimer
Authors: Larrauri Olguín Gibrán
Published: May 2022

El artículo ofrece un análisis de las causas económicas, políticas, sociales y psicológicas del ascenso de los totalitarismos, tomando como modelo al nazismo. Primeramente, señala que el fascismo alemán no se explica sin relacionarlo con el colonialismo de Occidente hegemónico. En un segundo momento, se explica el fenómeno a través de la decadencia de la autoridad paterna al interior de la familia burguesa y las consecuencias subjetivas que ello acarrea de manera masiva. El texto establece una continuidad teórica entre Adorno, Horkheimer y Lacan. Teniendo a la psicología de las masas de Freud como común basamento, intenta ser una crítica aguda de la dominación capitalista contemporánea.
El malestar de una sociedad sin límites: cuando del entre-los-dos se pase al entre-dos
Authors: Javier Alexandra
Published: May 2022

En esta época inédita de la historia humana, la necesidad de reanudar y reforzar el lazo social se revela más vital que nunca. El virus covid-19 ha cambiado radicalmente nuestros modos de comunicar y relacionarnos, dejándonos cautivos en un mundo virtual sometido al discurso capitalista, en el que el cuerpo se sustituye por su imagen. Un discurso que incita al consumo sin límites, a la búsqueda frenética del objeto material que pueda llenar el vacío estructural del ser humano y, además, a la autoexplotación aumentada por una vigilancia recíproca y multidimensional, sirviéndose de dispositivos digitales. La virtualización hace que la palabra se desligue del cuerpo que no se encuentra en el mismo espacio físico que el Otro con quien se habla; por lo tanto, hay un entre-dos que no puede acontecer sin una presencia física.
La revolución ya ha ocurrido
Authors: Sauret Marie-Jean
Published: May 2022

Este mundo es insensato, y el humano no puede vivir sin poner su vida en relato. Es una de las lecciones de la Revolución Francesa. La elección del Ser supremo no la protegió de la religión capitalista. Pero planteó la pregunta sobre una trascendencia laica que indizaría el agujero en el saber. Y la pregunta persiste: ¿sabremos estar a la altura? Se impone, más que nunca, poner al psicoanálisis a la cabeza de la política: para dar la posibilidad al sujeto de interpretar el genio de su división, el antídoto en el clivaje. Atrevámonos a afirmarlo: sin el Discurso Analítico, no hay lazo social. ¿Qué lugar damos nosotros, los que practicamos el análisis, a la Ciudad en el psicoanálisis?
El evento y el psicoanálisis: las políticas de ruptura en la sociedad capitalista
Authors: Lara Junior Nadir , Urban Kist André
Published: May 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre el concepto de evento [acontecimiento en su traducción al español], formulado por Alain Badiou, como una categoría política-filosófica-psicoanalítica necesaria para comprender el contexto actual, en el cual la hegemonía del capitalismo impide que cualquier idea de ruptura social, política, económica y afectiva pueda ser construida. El psicoanálisis puede reconocer el saber del proletario sobre el evento y así también apuntar al lado sombrío de la sociedad capitalista que omite ese saber del trabajador. La política del psicoanálisis se aproxima a la verdad del sujeto que, en este caso, trae algo del orden del saber sobre el evento.
La impotencia de la demanda rizomática: desafíos a la emancipación en la época del discurso capitalista
Authors: Foa Torres Jorge , Reynares Juan Manuel
Published: May 2022

En este trabajo abordamos la dificultad estructural de las protestas contemporáneas para traducirse en movimientos emancipatorios, a partir de la noción lacaniana de (pseudo) discurso del capitalista. Por una parte, afirmamos que la radical novedad que trae la época nos conduce a asumir que el terreno de lo social ya no está exclusivamente marcado por la tensión equivalencia/diferencia. Por otra, que lo rizomático, más que dar lugar a la proliferación de demandas de contenido emancipatorio, atrapa a los sujetos en un goce comandado. Por último, apostamos por la identificación de una demanda-que-hace-lazo, en la medida en que se apoya en una lógica del no-todo demanda del Otro para causar un deseo de emancipación.
De las rebeldías bicentenarias a las rebeldías contemporáneas. Una interpretación feminista
Authors: Ramírez María Himelda
Published: May 2022

En este artículo se exponen algunas de las manifestaciones de las rebeldías de las mujeres en contextos de la crisis de las Independencias en la Nueva Granada, que alteraron los ritmos y procesos de la vida cotidiana de los diferentes estamentos sociales en los espacios urbanos y rurales del territorio. Esas rebeldías se expresaron tanto en los dominios de la vida privada como en los escenarios públicos de revuelta, revolución y guerra. Por ello, las mujeres experimentaron en forma particular las represalias por la insubordinación de un orden que se tambaleaba, habida cuenta de la circulación de los principios de la Ilustración, en tensión con las tradiciones ortodoxas. Ello ocurrió en momentos de cambio orientado hacia la construcción de un Estado moderno y la promesa de civilización de las relaciones de género. Doscientos años después, la irrupción de los movimientos feministas juveniles en las calles y las avenidas de las redes virtuales continúa reivindicando el compromiso de las sociedades de garantizar a las mujeres una vida libre de violencias.
Obediencia, indignación y sublevación en la psicología prepsicoanalítica de Friedrich Nietzsche
Authors: Pacheco Jorge
Published: May 2022

Hablar de psicología en Nietzsche ya genera polémica; lo es aún más si concebimos aquella posibilidad como una psicología prepsicoanalítica. Sin embargo, concebir una propuesta psicológica en los planteamientos del filósofo alemán no es algo impensable; tampoco es algo poco frecuente. De igual manera, observar sus planteamientos como precursores del psicoanálisis es una tarea que ya ha sido abordada en numerosas ocasiones, tanto por el mismo Freud y sus discípulos, como en recientes investigaciones. A pesar de lo anterior, en este artículo, tomo distancia de aquellas lecturas de Nietzsche como precursor del psicoanálisis y planteo la posibilidad de una psicología diferenciada en su obra.

Physiological adaptation indicators of three Colombian Creole cattle breeds
Authors: Correa-García Zoilo Andrés , Campos Gaona Rómulo , Flórez-Díaz Hernando
Published: May 2022

The present study aimed to determine the physiological response and its relationship with the caloric impact (stress) index of three breeds of Colombian Creole cattle (Hartón del Valle, Blanco Orejinegro y Sanmartinero). These breeds have been considered adapted to low-tropical conditions and important to the sustainable meat and milk production in Colombia. To determine two heat tolerance indexes and two hormones and their relationship to the physiological response to heat stress in three Colombian Creole cattle breeds, Pearson’s correlation methodology and mean comparison study were used. The adaptability indexes such as temperature-humidity index (ITH) and heat load index (HLI) and cortisol and T3 hormones were estimated and subsequently, the indexes were correlated with the hormones using the Pearson methodology, also the mean comparison study was used. Physiological variables were analyzed such as heart rate, respiratory rate, rumen patterns, and rectal temperature; during the study, serum concentrations of cortisol and triiodothyronine hormones were detected in seven different instances during the rainy season in the Piedemonte Llanero. ITH and HLI were used as indicators of thermal compensation. The HLI appeared to be a better indicator when the environmental conditions included wind speed and solar radiation. No variations were found between the breeds (P≥0.05), while the measurement periods did show variations (P≤0.05). It may conclude that the HLI provides better information to study physiological parameters and it may confirm that the animals are considered adapted to the conditions of the local environment.
Effect of integrated plant nutrient management on indicators related to yield and productivity of spring barley (Hordéum vulgáre) under drought conditions in the growing season

Published: May 2022

The agricultural production of the world is becoming increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather conditions, but adaptation to such conditions still suffers from a lack of integrated solutions and approaches that should cover relevant plant nutrition management issues, as well as technological mechanisms and tools. This study aimed to investigate the impact of fertilizer systems on yield indicators and the productivity of spring barley under arid growing conditions and determine the correlation between yield indicators and barley productivity to form a fertilization strategy for this crop under drought conditions. Two separate field experiments were conducted in 2018 in a small plot in six replications based on a long-term research field experiment on chernozem-type soil (black soil). As components of an integrated plant nutrient management system, the combined application of mineral fertilizers and stress protectors was used (for seed inoculation and foliar treatment), as well as the local application of mineral fertilizers at different depths (10-12 cm, 20-22 cm and at two depths simultaneously). The application of components of an integrated plant nutrient management system increased the chlorophyll content, leaf water content, and grain yield. These benefits of integrated fertilizer management led to significant improvement in grain yield. The maximum values of this indicator were noted for foliar treatment of plants by a stress protector at a rate of 1.0 L ha-1 (once per growing season) or 0.5 L ha-1 (twice per growing season) and for deep localization of mineral fertilizers (to a depth of 20-22 cm). The content of chlorophyll and bound water in the tissues of barley plants can be used as an indicator to determine the resistance of plants to arid growing conditions since these physiological characteristics are closely correlated with the yield of barley.
Improvement of productive and metabolic indicators of broiler by the application of Lippia origanoides essential oil in an in vivo intestinal inflammation model
Authors: Madrid Garcés Tomás Antonio , González Herrera Luis Gabriel , López Herrera Albeiro , Parra Suescun Jaime
Published: May 2022

Broiler meat is the animal origin protein source with the highest nutritional quality, growth, and projection in the last decade. However, the presence of traces of antimicrobials in the final products, mainly due to the indiscriminate addition of antibiotics (prophylactic use) as growth-promoters antibiotics (GPA) has raised major concerns. In the search for viable alternatives, natural additives such as essential oils appear, among which the oregano (OEO-Lippia origanoides) stands out. It has been used with success at an industrial level and its antimicrobial properties are well known. The current study aimed to evaluate the zootechnical parameters (accumulated weight gain, feed conversion, and feed efficiency) and blood metabolites (Alanine aminotransferase, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, phosphorous, calcium) in broilers adding OEO into their diet in an in vivo inflammation model achieved by adding Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from E. coli. 1200 animals were distributed in six diets: D1: basal diet (control) or balanced commercial diet without the addition of GPA, OEO, and LPS; D2: D1+150 ppm GPA (Avilamycin); D3: D1+150 ppm OEO (Lippia Origanoides); D4: D1+1.0 ppm LPS; D5: D1+1.0 ppm LPS+150 ppm GPA; D6: D1+1.0 ppm LPS+150 ppm OEO. The trial was carried out under a randomized block design. OEO-Lippia origanoides improved the zootechnical and metabolic variables (P<0.05) of birds in the face of in vivo inflammation at different ages; furthermore, it improved the animal response and the metabolic conditions of the animals under study. The zootechnical and blood metabolites results at different ages evidenced the technical feasibility of OEO as a nutritional growth promoter.
Use of Ultrafiltration Technology to Concentrate Whey Proteins after White Cheese Manufacturing
Authors: Bejarano-Toro Edinson , Sepúlveda-Valencia José Uriel , Rodriguez Sandoval Eduardo
Published: May 2022

Dairy industry generates contamination due to whey dumping from the manufacture of coagulated products. Ultrafiltration technology has been extensively studied in acid whey; however, research on sweet whey ─which is obtained from the production of fresh white cheese (Campesino cheese)─ is scarce. The objective of this study was to concentrate sweet whey proteins by ultrafiltration and to evaluate the process conditions. A polyethersulfone membrane with a molecular weight cut-off of 10 kDa was used. The effect of volumetric concentration factor between 5 and 18, transmembrane pressure between 2.5 and 5 bar was evaluated on the permeate flow, protein retention coefficient, and retention yield using a response surface methodology. The process optimization was carried out in that same range. Protein and fat were concentrated and underwent ultrafiltration; however, a less stable system was obtained. A higher concentration of protein can result in more collisions between molecules, thus generating flocculation. Whey protein concentrates had 18.2% of total solids out of which protein represents 45%.
Scenarios of the Union State of Belarus and Russia Evolution: values and pragmatics
Authors: Bakhlova Olga V. , Bakhlov Igor V.
Published: May 2022

Introduction. The Union State of Russia and Belarus, as well as its participating countries, are once again in their history facing a choice of further development path. Multiple challenges and threats affect the formulation and interpretation of many issues, including those related to axiological parameters, determining the variability of their solutions and increasing the need to anticipate, prevent or minimize the negative consequences of existing/probable risk situations. The purpose of this study is to identify possible options for the evolution of the Union State of Belarus and Russia as an integration format from the perspective of its geopolitical significance and socio-philosophical meaning in a dynamically changing internal and external environment. Methods. The study was based on a systematic approach that allowed us to consider the Union State of Belarus and Russia as a complex integration system. The methods of traditional document study, comparative analysis, political diagnostics, scenario analysis were used. Results and Discussion. The key parameters of the complexity of the Union State as an integration association are determined, the scenarios of its evolution in the positive and negative spectrum are substantiated. The generalized trends for them are the deepening of integration – with a wide coverage of the spheres and sectors of integration and the deactualization of bilateral integration with the loss of the creativity of the idea and the effectiveness of integration practice, the narrowing of the overall integration field, respectively. Conclusion. The most plausible scenarios of the first group include the option of “Belarusian-Russian Confederation”, the least acceptable – “Russian-Belarusian Federation” and “Slavic integration”, although their axiological component is the most obvious. Among the scenarios of the second group are “Back to the Future” and “Marginalization of the Union State”, as well as a catastrophic option. Systemic vulnerabilities that enhance the prospects for the implementation of negative scenarios are shown. The ill-considered nature of the general strategy, ideology and model of union construction, the lack of formation of union law, the rudimentary nature of supranationality in the management system of the Union State, the imbalance of integration levers, the limited tools of integration, the elitism of political communications, the insufficiency of socio-political support for union construction are emphasized. Conclusions are drawn about the need to ensure a reasonable balance between values and pragmatics in the Russian-Belarusian integration, the importance of constructive and active work in the internal dimension, a joint response to external destructive influence.

Introduction. In the rapidly changing conditions of modern life, only a person who realizes his spiritual and moral potential is able to act outside the box, make quick decisions in conditions of risk, and take responsibility when solving especially difficult group and intergroup problems. In this regard, it is highly relevant to carry out a conceptual analysis of the concept of spiritual and moral potential and study its influence on the integral process of self-realization of the individual. The purpose of the article is to examine the spiritual and moral potential of an individual as the basis of his self-realization in the contradictory conditions of Russian society. Materials and Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was the cultural-historical approach, the activity approach, the normative-value concept of social action, the epigenetic theory of personality development by E. Erickson, the theory of social attitude, the humanistic approach. The transdisciplinary approach allowed the metatheory of various scientific disciplines to be generalized by philosophical judgments. Results. Spiritual and moral potential is a phenomenon, the consideration of which is possible under the condition of combining secular and philosophical-religious paradigms that explore their side of a single being. Spiritual “something” penetrates into the deep and potential, manifesting itself in the form of an essential spiritual force that allows a person to self-realize their potential. Spiritual and moral potential becomes a realizing essential principle that creates a spiritual basis for the existence of an individual and society. In the socio-cultural space, determined by moral norms, the potential and the mental, the spiritual and the moral are combined, the dichotomies of the internal and the external are removed, the personality is self-determined, and, identifying with the spiritual, reaches the heights of being. Discussion and Conclusions. Of great importance is the need for Russians to return to the origins of their civilization, the basis of which is the essential spiritual, which actualizes the spiritual and moral potential and reproduces the spiritual and moral models of behavior, which are psycho-protective mechanisms for regulating life, the basis of the cultural security of the people. In this regard, in Russia it is necessary to create a spiritual resource space that contributes to the actualization and self-realization of the spiritual and moral potential of the individual and the formation of a new type of personality – a “self-actualizing person” who achieves transcendence, overcomes crises by integrating all aspects of life.

Authors: Aleshin Pavel N.
Published: May 2022

Introduction. The idea of introducing zemstvo self-government in the Russian Empire from the very beginning divided the population into bright supporters and ardent opponents, who for decades proved their case. The process of creating zemstvos began in 1864. The state determined socially significant functions for these self-government bodies: the development of medicine, education, agronomy, veterinary medicine, road construction, etc. The problems faced by the zemstvos were big: relationships with power structures, budget deficits, and the attitude of society. You can get acquainted with the activities of the zemstvos, the difficulties in the work by studying the journals of the meetings of the zemstvo assemblies. Also, of interest is the opinion of contemporaries about these self-government bodies. The purpose of the article is to consider the mechanism of formation of zemstvo budgets through the analysis of the works of contemporaries. Materials and Methods. The set goals were solved using narrative (description of the history of the issue), historical and genetic (development of zemstvo self-government and changes in the principles of taxation), comparative (positions of A. A. Golovachev and V. N. Tverdokhlebov), systemic (analysis of the consequences of changes in local self-government) methods. Results. For more than half a century of activity of zemstvo self-government bodies, the problems have not changed much. Both in the initial and in the final period there were great difficulties with the formation of the budget and the designation of taxable items. Discussion and Conclusion. Land remained the main taxation item, which led to an increase in the deficit due to the overtaxation of landed property, the poverty of the main taxpayers – the peasants; a low level of taxation was observed for urban real estate, commercial and industrial enterprises, which was supported by the government.
