Authors: Fajardo Pascagaza Ernesto , Cervantes Estrada Luis Carlos , Hernández Rincón Yuri Katherine
Published: May 2024

Las dinámicas comunicacionales actuales han llevado a que los ciberusuarios busquen escenarios que propendan por ambientes de ciberconvivencia y seguridad ciudadana, tal como lo hace la Policía Nacional. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar los retos de la Policía Nacional de Colombia respecto a la aplicación de estrategias de ciberconvivencia a partir de los principios de la Ley 1801 del 2016, con el fin de prevenir y disminuir la incivilidad digital y fortalecer las dinámicas comunicacionales entre los usuarios del ciberespacio. Como alcance se busca que las estrategias de ciberconvivencia sean conocidas y aplicadas por toda la institución policial. Para ello, se empleó un método de estudio de tipo descriptivo con enfoque cualitativo, a partir de la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas a personal experto. El procedimiento para aplicar el instrumento de investigación tipo entrevista se estableció según el método no probabilístico, teniendo como referente el muestreo por conveniencia. Los resultados evidenciaron que el principal problema radica en el impacto de las campañas de desinformación que circulan por redes sociales, las cuales instan al odio, la indignación y el caos social, provocando la polarización ideológica que traspasa los límites de la interacción tolerante y respetuosa. Como conclusión, se reconoce que la misión de la policía debe estar direccionada hacia la promoción de la ciberconvivencia, teniendo en cuenta los principios de la Ley 1801 con el fin de favorecer la convivencia y la seguridad de los ciudadanos.

Aim: The present study was designed to assess the toxic effect of oxytetracycline in the fish Cyprinus carpio using multi-biomarker approach following acute exposure. Methodology: The fish were exposed to sub-lethal concentration (80 mg l-1) of oxytetracycline for 96 hrs. Blood samples were collected 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs after treatment. Biomarkers such as genotoxicity, biochemical parameters and alteration of the morphology of scales were used to assess the health status of fish after exposure to oxytetracycline. Genotoxicity was assessed using blood cell micronucleus assay. Results: Significant alterations in the nucleus and cytoplasm were noticed such as the aberrant nucleus and vacuolated cytoplasm which were time dependent in the treatment group compared to the control. Biochemical parameters such as blood glucose, total plasma protein, aspartate transaminase and creatinine levels were significantly altered in the oxytetracycline exposed groups. The examination of body scales of treated fish revealed significant alterations such as uprooted and damaged lepidonts and dispersed chromatophores. Interpretation: The data of the present study indicates that oxytetracycline is toxic to fish at sub-lethal concentration.

Extensions of G-outer inverses
Authors: Mosic Dijana , Stanimirovic Predrag , Ciric Miroslav
Published: May 2024

Our first objective is to present equivalent conditions for the solvability
of the system of matrix equations ADA = A, D= B and CAD = C, where D is
unknown, A, B,C are of appropriate dimensions, and to obtain its general
solution in terms of appropriate inner inverses. Our leading idea is to find
characterizations and representations of a subclass of inner inverses that
satisfy some properties of outer inverses. A G-(B,C) inverse of A is defined
as a solution of this matrix system. In this way, G-(B,C) inverses are
defined and investigated as an extension of G-outer inverses. One-sided
versions of G-(B,C) inverse are introduced as weaker kinds of G-(B,C)
inverses and generalizations of one-sided versions of G-outer inverse.
Applying the G-(B,C) inverse and its one-sided versions, we propose three
new partial orders on the set of complex matrices. These new partial orders
extend the concepts of G-outer (T, S)-partial order and one-sided G-outer
(T, S)-partial orders.

Published: May 2024

Background and purpose: The Drug Rediscovery Protocol (DRUP) is a Dutch, pan-cancer, nonrandomized clinical trial that aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of targeted and immunotherapies outside their registered indication in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer.
Patients: Patients with advanced or metastatic cancer are eligible when there are no standard of care treatment options left and the tumor possesses a molecular genomic variant for which commercially available anticancer treatment is accessible off-label in DRUP. Clinical benefit is the study’s primary endpoint, characterized by a confirmed objective response or stable disease after at least 16 weeks of treatment.
Results: More than 2,500 patients have undergone evaluation, of which over 1,500 have started treatment in DRUP. The overall clinical benefit rate (CBR) remains 33%. The nivolumab cohort for patients with microsatellite instable metastatic tumors proved highly successful with a CBR of 63%, while palbociclib or ribociclib in patients with tumors harboring CDK4/6 pathway alterations showed limited efficacy, with a CBR of 15%. The formation of two European initiatives (PCM4EU and PRIME-ROSE) strives to accelerate implementation and enhance data collection to broaden equitable access to anticancer treatments and gather more evidence.
Conclusion: DRUP persists in improving patients access to off-label targeted or immunotherapy in the Netherlands and beyond. The expansion of DRUP-like clinical trials across Europe provides countless opportunities for broadening the horizon of precision oncology.

Authors: Romaní Rivera Alex , Parellada Guillamón Sergi , Tirado Serrano Francisco
Published: May 2024

This article describes the phenomenon of the “governance of well-being,” which includes the use of happiness as a tool of power used by governmental, non-governmental, and public and private organizations around the world. Based on a chronological exploration of contemporary global policies and through the happiness practices that we can find in the different areas of daily life, it is explained that happiness is becoming a device of social control and that it is being institutionalized through its 1) universalization, 2) privatization, 3) scientification, and 4) blackboxing. Finally, the consequences of all this are exposed in order to prevent the imperative of happiness from governing us towards a Huxleyan “brave new world,” in which a “welfare regime” could prevail that seems less and less utopian.

PROPERTIES OF ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN PLANNING CREATION DOWNTOWNS IN THE SAME NAMES CITIES DERAZNE AND DERAZNIA
Authors:   Department of Architecture and Restoration Lviv Polytechnic National University, Rybchynskyi Oleh
Published: May 2024

The properties of the downtown architectural and town-planning creation in the historical cities of Derazhne and Derazhnya are considered. It has been found that in Derazhne the castle was located in the southern part of today's village, on a wedge ledge formed at the place where the stream flows into the Horyn River. The downtown stood northeast of the castle. Its territory had features of a regular rectangle, and the gates were located on the western and northern sides. Unfortunately, today it is difficult to determine the location of the wooden Roman Catholic church in the downtown, instead, the brick church of the beginning of the 19th century was built on the territory of the castle. It was established that the castle in Deraznya was rectangular in plan with two corner roundels located in the southern and northern corners of the western side. The indistinct fragments of the downtown ramparts preserved to this day, the configuration of the streets and the graphic image of the urban defense complex of Deraznya on the map of the mid-17th century by the military engineer Guiyaume Levasseur de Beauplan indicate that the northern and eastern parts of the fortifications of the city center had bastion-like protrusions, and the northeastern corner had a special fortification purpose . Rynok Square was located in the center of the downtown. A wooden church stood in its northeastern corner, and a brick Roman Catholic church in the southeastern corner. Relying on the determined properties of architectural and town-planning creation in the downtown of Derazhnye and Derazhnya settlements, we can record their equivalent historical and cultural value. The development vector of their cities was identical, but the architectural image was individual. The spatial composition of the connection between the castle and the city center, the abundance of temples and the fortification system differed. Instead, the street network in Derazne and Derazne was ordered, calculated and synchronized with two entrance gates. The current state of the downtown is unsatisfactory. In Derazhnya, Khmelnytskyi region, the street network, quarters with several houses of the 19th century, and castle ramparts have been partially preserved. The downtown of Derazne, Rivne Oblast, has preserved parts of historic streets, completely lost quarters, and faint traces of the castle. In both settlements, uncontrolled green spaces hinder the spatial perception of the historical center. Therefore, recommendations have been formulated for the return of service functions to the downtowns, their unification with the rest of the settlement territories, saturating them with new functions, and the reproduction of the traditional historical and urban landscape.

A novel undiscovered fungal species was obtained from brackish environments located in Al-Faw city, situated in the southern region of Basrah, Iraq, through phylogenetic assessments of the ITS and TEF1α genomic regions. Sediment sample was collected from the seacoast of Al- Faw region and cultured on Potato carrot agar (PCA) and Potato dextrose agar (PDA), then incubated at 25 °C for 14 days. It was ascertained that this species clustered within the genus Preussia. Subsequent in-depth examinations of its morphological and anatomical features corroborated its distinctiveness. This previously unknown species is introduced here as P. aseelix. One of its notable characteristics is the absence of a true fruiting body, which is replaced by an asexual state represented by pycnidia.
A Memoir of London: A Reading on Ghazi AlQosaibi’s Bye-Bye London and Anna Quindlen’s Imagined London
Authors: M. Nadeem Kutb Afraa
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to present impressions of London “indisputably the capital of literature”, by two culturally diverse novelists and their works: the first is the Saudi diplomat, novelist, and poet Dr. Gazi AlQosaibi’s (1940-2010) Bye-Bye London (2002) and the American renowned Pulitzer Prize winner Anna Qindlen’s (1953) Imagined London (2004). The researcher used a textual analysis approach to analyze the novels. This study is an add-value to the body of knowledge by contributing to the literature of A Memoir of London and Imagined London. It addresses the manifold concept and diverse determinations of images related to the identity of London. In addition, it examines the different representations that reflect the different circumstances, defined by time and place in London. A thorough reading of both works will not only provide many insights about London, the city, but also a literary and intellectual biography of the writers themselves. Thus, a reading of their works, comparing, and contrasting them will be ostensible to further highlight their recollections, reminisces, and experiences of “the capital of the world”. The results showed that Bye, Bye London, and Imagined London are examples of honor to a metropolitan that includes one of the greatest fictional and ancient pasts. These novellas are not as thorough as Peter Ackroyd’s London: a Biography (2001) which Quindlen positions in the volume.
Enhancing Post-Editing Machine Translation Skills Among Iraqi Undergraduate Students
Authors: Saad Mudheher Al Sammarraie Huda , Ghassemiazghandi Mozhgan
Published: May 2024

Post-editing machine translation often results in discrepancies between industry expectations and the actual quality of the final product. Despite the usually, low-quality outcomes associated with machine translation, it remains underutilized, even when there are opportunities for improvement through post-editing jobs. This study focuses on the impact of technology-assisted training on English proficiency among students. It investigates a standard error observed among Iraqi students during the post-editing of machine translations using Google Translate deciding whether to edit the machine translation output or to translate from scratch and understand the source text. This research involved 20 undergraduates from Al-Mustansiriyah University and employed a mixed methods approach, collecting data through an online questionnaire completed by students in the undergraduate translation program. The findings indicate a significant improvement in the frequency of post-editing skills among Iraqi students, serving as a distinguishing factor between the two groups. It also highlighted differences in translation abilities among students in Iraqi higher education, with notable improvements observed in the experimental group. In summary, this study supports previous research from the last five years, indicating a more favourable attitude toward machine translation and suggesting that post-editing is considered an essential sub-competency in translation education.
The Journey in Hisham Matar’s The Return: Between Freedom and Confinement
Authors: Hanafy Noha
Published: May 2024

The paper explores how Hisham Matar’s journey in his 2016 memoir, The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between. In the book, Matar undertakes a journey back to his homeland in Libya to uncover the truth of what happened to his father, who was targeted by the Gaddafi regime during the sixties and was subsequently imprisoned for 20 years. While the memoir primarily focuses on the journey “back” to Matar’s homeland in Libya, the memoir’s depiction of “home” problematizes the concept, raising questions about its limitations beyond being merely geographical. Therefore, home becomes elusive and not necessarily at all feasible altogether. Matar’s journey across continents foregrounds the contestation of boundaries. The oscillation between confinement and freedom overshadows the family’s journey that seems to involuntarily revolve around finding a home. This struggle is also connected to the relentless attempts to find the father before finally deciding to go back to Libya. With the ongoing struggle in searching for the father who was abducted before his imprisonment, the father himself becomes a metaphoric border. Reading the memoir, the reader senses that this overshadowing presence of the father’s legacy is juxtaposed with his perpetual absence signaling both a struggle to find the father and escape him. The interplay between freedom and imprisonment becomes intricately woven with the poetics of the journey and ultimately offers a narrative that defies victimhood and foregrounds agency.

Published: May 2024

This study examines Judy Grahn (1940- )’s poem “Marilyn Monroe” through the lens of the Iserian reading theory (1972), using two multilingual perspectives. The results indicate that instructors should pay close attention to the gap-filling stage when implementing the Iserian reading stages in their literature classes. While the paper includes two responses from the author and co-author, representing multilingual students, it highlights the significance of the implied reader’s background knowledge in navigating the various identities that arise during the reading process. A future article will delve into students’ responses to the Marilyn Monroe poem in detail and will be published in the upcoming volumes.
Liminality and Knowledge Production in Egyptian Stand-up Comedy: Reflecting Perspectives and Defying Restrictions
Authors: Esmat Lotfy Nohayer
Published: May 2024

This paper aimed to examine how Egyptian live stand-up performances act as a liminal space where comedians present their perspectives on issues of concern, offering a different source of knowledge other than mainstream views and ideas. Data collected for this study included selected excerpts from Egyptian live stand-up shows in addition to interviews with stand-up comedians to collect more in-depth information about how they perceive stand-up comedy as a form of art and how they select their topics and develop their stand-up material. For this paper, two analytical approaches were applied: 1) A thematic approach to closely investigate the range of topics women and men Egyptian comedians tackle in their shows and how these topics introduce a new angle to knowledge production, and 2) Van Dijk’s (2007) macro-level critical discourse analysis that aimed to examine the context in which the selected performances have taken place, how comedians’ stances are expressed and whether their material defy or adapt to the surrounding incidents/contexts. Analysis of data showed that comedians discuss taboo topics both implicitly and explicitly, and in reaction to possible restrictions on stand-up material, comedians employ various techniques of humor to defy these restrictions using the space and time of the live show to share their views with the audience
Cultural Nationalism or National Culture as Portrayed in Indian Popular Culture: The Case of Indian Visual Media
Authors: Sherfudeen Chagla , Mahmood Khalid , Jakir Hossain Md.
Published: May 2024

Ever since Friedrich Meinecke proposed the distinction between the terms “cultural nation” (Kulturnation) as expressed in fine art and “Statsnation” (political nation), the cultural sphere of nationalism or nationalist idealogy/culture has been quoted either out of context or misquoted/misinterpreted to demean other cultures and reinforced ostensibly to carve out a false or “imagined” national identity in the Indian context and more so in the Indian popular culture. Does it reflect the culture of the majority populace in India? Why does it hegemonize other cultures? With the mainstream narratives and myths that underlie the Indian media, popular culture galvanizes around terms like nationalism, national identity and others. The main aim of this article is to unravel and deconstruct the notion of national culture and all the accompanying terms associated with it. It becomes significant in the present socio-cultural-politico-Indian context with its approach towards feudalism and postcolonial imperatives. The main question is how these terms are appropriated and subverted to form a new meaning, perhaps a historical revision. Randomly, nine Indian films were chosen for observation. The analysis reveals that a microscopic minority invokes the metanarrative of hypernationalism and cultural homogenization to placate the democratic forces and achieve their hidden agenda. Since it is value-based, its recommendations too primarily belong to the moral turpitude of those who are in power.

Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Petrash Nikolay D. , Petrash Elena V. ,   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: May 2024

The article delves into the multifaceted influence of film communications on human consciousness from a social-philosophical perspective. Emphasizing the significance of cinema as a potent medium of communication in modern society, the analysis explores the intricate dynamics through which films shape individuals’ perceptions, values, and behaviors. Concepts such as media effects, ideological hegemony, and symbolic interactionism are employed to elucidate the complex interplay between cinematic narratives and individual consciousness. Analyzing the process of film reception, the article elucidates how viewers subconsciously internalize cinematic narratives, projecting themselves into the characters and situations depicted on screen. This process engenders a cognitive resonance wherein viewers assimilate the existential themes and values propagated by the film, thereby shaping their worldview and cognitive frameworks. Moreover, the article explores the dual nature of film communication’s influence on human behavior, distinguishing between covert and overt forms of influence. While covert influence operates on the subconscious and emotional levels, shaping individuals’ values and attitudes, overt influence manifests as deliberate and purposeful actions informed by cinematic narratives. By examining the social-philosophical dimensions of film communication, this article contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between media, ideology, and human consciousness. Acknowledging cinema’s role as a powerful agent of socialization and cultural dissemination, the article underscores the relevance of critical engagement with cinematic texts and the need for media literacy in modern society.

Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Fokina Natalya Yu.
Published: May 2024

Nowadays, society is undergoing a shift in its perception of individuals within a changing world. Accelerating globalization, the transformation of social institutions and the increasing importance of non-traditional values in Western society are becoming not only a matter of personal perception, but also a topic of public discourse. In these conditions, the formation of gender identity is not merely a biological process but also significantly influenced by societal understanding, as the definition of gender roles in society undergoes shifts. The phenomenon of gender dysphoria emerges, characterized by a contradiction between personal perception of gender identity and societal perceptions. The study is devoted to identifying the role of this phenomenon in modern discourse, considering an analysis of its interpretation. The author concludes that the phenomenon of gender dysphoria in the formation of gender identity is associated with understanding gender as a sociocultural category. By recognizing gender as a complex interplay of biology, culture, and personal identity, society can move towards more inclusive and understanding frameworks for gender expression.

This article delves into the cultural-philosophical prerequisites preceding the formation of the “soft power” concept. As a result of the study, the philosophical and cultural-anthropological factors of the emergence of this concept are highlighted. Conceptually, its philosophical origins are intertwined with two primary inquiries: firstly, the influence of the communicator on the recipient (the Maieutics of Socrates, the “Rhetoric” of Aristotle), secondly, the study of individual properties of culture, educational (Plato, Cicero, Confucius), unifying (Sun Tzu), regulatory (N. Machiavelli). Culture, as a full-fledged instrument of the “soft power” influence encompassing all these properties, is analyzed in the works of A. Gramsci. Another significant source shaping the “soft power” concept is the scientific tradition of cultural anthropology as a distinct discipline, which views culture as an essential element of colonial administration (E.B. Tylor, F. Boas, B. Malinowski) and interstate confrontation (R. Benedict). The French School of Social Anthropology has focused on the study of the mechanisms of formation of public opinion (G. Tarde) and methods of influencing the masses (G. Le Bon). In conclusion, the concept of “soft power” emerges as a product of diverse intellectual traditions, blending philosophical inquiries, cultural analyses, and anthropological insights. By elucidating its cultural and philosophical foundations, this article provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities of modern power dynamics and international relations.
Expanding Human Rights and Freedoms or Its Dehumanization?

The article delves into the analysis of the “8 March Principles” presented by the International Commission of Jurists together with UNAIDS and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights as a set of legal principles that decriminalize behavior in the field of sex, drug use, HIV, sexual and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty. Utilizing ostensibly civilized forms, these principles serve the Malthusian idea of population reduction (“corruption clothed in legal forms”, Malthus’s term), with law being no exception. However, while in traditional contexts, “dissolute living” (Malthus’s term) like marriage, contributes to population growth, emphasizing the need for chastity among the lower classes, neo-Malthusianism normalizes debauchery, indeed leading to population reduction. The aim of this article is to identify the dehumanizing content, reducing humans from social subjects to biological objects. The study’s subject encompasses dehumanizing conditions reflected in the “March 8 Principles” including the destruction of family, cultural, familial-role, gender, and sexual identities; legalization of drugs and pedophilia, prostitution, and begging as forms of commercial activity; as well as the destruction of culture. The methodological basis of this research is dialectical materialism. In scrutinizing the “March 8 Principles”, this study highlights the dichotomy between the purported expansion of human rights and the underlying trend towards dehumanization. By elucidating how these principles relegate individuals from social subjects to biological one, the research underscores the erosion of fundamental societal structures and cultural values. As such, it prompts critical reflection on the broader implications of legal frameworks ostensibly designed to promote human rights. Through the lens of dialectical materialism, this analysis provides valuable insights into the complexities of modern legal and socio-cultural dynamics, inviting further scholarly inquiry into the intersection of law, morality, and human dignity.
Ethical Issues and Risks of Digital Transformation of a Higher Education Teacher
Authors:   Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University, Valeeva Galina V.
Published: May 2024

The article examines the concept of “digital transformation of a teacher” and its implications. It identifies the advantages of digital transformation for teacher while highlighting and analyzing the ethical issues arising from this transformation in the context of modern university education. Potential risks associated with the digital transformation of teacher are identified, along with recommendations for their mitigation. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the digitization of higher education leads to fundamental changes in the university educational process, affecting the activities of teacher and triggering his digital transformation. This shift facilitates a transition from traditional to digital education, aligning with the needs of a digital society. However, this comprehensive transformation through digital technologies also gives rise to ethical issues that can have ambiguous consequences for both the teacher himself and higher education institutions. The author concludes that the digital transformation of higher education teacher is a complex and contradictory process. On one hand, it fosters professional engagement and enhances teachers’ skills, leading to the effective development of digital university education. On the other hand, it generates numerous ethical issues and associated risks that require careful consideration to ensure the quality of digital higher education. Balancing the benefits of digital transformation with ethical considerations is crucial for fostering a sustainable and responsible digital education environment.

Unravelling the factors that influence plant-insect interactions remains a fundamental concern in terrestrial ecology. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of varying degrees of drying on cerrado areas adjacent to veredas on the species richness, abundance and composition of the insect herbivore fauna. Additionally, we examined differences in these impacts between various guilds (chewing and sucker insects) and developmental stages (adult and immature insects). The research has been performed in study areas located in three Protected Areas in Brazil. In total, we recorded 106 species of herbivorous insects across five orders (Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and Orthoptera). Hemiptera and Coleoptera stood out as the orders with the highest species diversity and individual numbers. Among the families, Cicadellidae and Curculionidae exhibited the highest richness in species and abundance of individuals. We found that richness of herbivorous insects was higher in wet zones (20.2 ± 6.5) of the veredas compared to dry zones (12.3 ± 7.5), as well as the abundance of herbivorous insects was higher in wet zones (49.4 ± 25.5) than in the dry zones (15.8 ± 7.9). Whithin insect guilds, the abundance of chewing insects was higher in wet zones (34.0 ± 13.6) than in dry zones (16.3 ± 14.8), but this difference was not observed for the diversity of sucking insects. Regarding developmental stage, immature insects exhibited higher species richness in wet zones (10.4 ± 5.0) compared to dry zones (5.3 ± 2.1), while adult insect diversity did not show differences between the studied zones. Furthermore, the species composition of herbivorous insects, various trophic guilds (chewers and suckers) and developmental stages (adults and immature insect) did not significantly differ among the zones studied within the veredas. According to our findings, herbivorous insects exhibit a preference for wet environments, which provide better conditions and higher-quality food resources for development and reproduction.

All the species of the genus Panochthus are reviewed. This taxon is one of the most important glyptodontid genus of the Pleistocene of Argentina because of its high frequency in the Ensenadan, Bonaerian and Lujanian units, as well as because of its wide geographical distribution that spans from the Santa Cruz province to the northern Argentina. Its record also extends to the Pleistocene of Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Up to now, a total of ten species of Panochthus remained in force. In this contribution only six species are considered to be valid, and they are: (1) Panochthus tuberculatus (Owen), (2) P. frenzelianus Ameghino, (3) P. intermedius Lydekker, (4) P. subintermedius Castellanos, (5) P. greslebini Castellanos and (6) P. jaguaribensis Moreira. Conversely, four species are invalidated, and they are: (1) P. lundii Burmeister, because it is based on different species of already known glyptodontid material; (2) P. (?) nodotianus Ameghino, a nomen dubium; (3) P. voghti Ameghino, and (4) P. rusconii Castellanos, both synonyms of P. tuberculatus. Other 15 species that in some instance were attributed to Panochthus are discussed, but whose location had been rectified prior to this review. Finally, we consider the stratigraphic and geographic distribution of the species of Panochthus and its relation to the Pleistocene climate changes in South America.
