Introduction. Today the world is becoming different, and such a world requires a different education system. Man is put as a subject of life and a subject of education. In these conditions, a teacher is forced to constantly expand the range of his competencies, to fill professional deficiencies. Mentoring is the most optimal form for this. The result of interaction in the “mentor – mentee” pair is the development of the subjectivity of the mentee, his personal and professional development. The purpose of the article is to present tutoring tools that can be used in mentoring practice. Methodology. The study was carried out using theoretical methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization of scientific research on the definition of the concepts of subjectivity, mentoring, comparison of the positions of the tutor and mentor, as well as empirical methods: survey, qualitative and quantitative data processing. Results. Within the framework of this study, the form of mentoring “teacher – teacher” was considered. The study was conducted within the framework of the implementation of the state assignment of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation “Reverse mentoring as a means of ensuring professional growth of teaching staff in general education organizations” during 2022 and 2023 among teachers (n = 256) who took part in a series of master classes on the use of tutoring tools in the activities of mentor teachers. The target audience is teaching staff from the Sverdlovsk and Irkutsk regions, Krasnoyarsk region. The master classes were organized in face-to-face and online formats. Conclusions. The article substantiates and presents the authorʼs definition of mentoring, emphasizes the relevance of using tutoring tools (participant observation, conversation, storytelling, personal resource mapping, navigation, reflection) by a mentor teacher to compensate for the professional deficiencies of the mentees.

The paper prepared in the context of mainstreaming artificial intelligence (AI) school teaching describes a model of AI and data analysis variant teaching of schoolchildren in computer science class and its components based on the integrative approach. The main aim of this study is to provide scientific and teaching community with the results of a methodological research that was carried out in Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science (Moscow Pedagogical State University) to develop methodological support for teaching schoolchildren topics related to AI technologies in both basic and secondary general education organizations and basic or advanced computer science classes. The paper summarizes current experience in AI and data analysis school teaching, with an integrative approach being the main methodological approach to designing a course for schoolchildren. The paper proposes the structure and the components of a methodology of variant teaching of AI and data analysis that considers project and extracurricular activities possibilities and the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Basic General Education and the Federal State Educational Standard of Secondary General Education. The paper concludes that the model that is designed in accordance with the requirements of Federal State Educational Standard and which is in a sense an “ideal” model for teaching schoolchildren AI and data analysis basics can be interpreted by educational organizations, for example, to design various learning trajectories that meet the personal needs of schoolchildren, the technical and methodological capabilities of an educational organization, and the personal character of students. Moreover, the paper emphasizes that this model for variant teaching AI and data analysis basics centered on an integrative approach is already supported with practical educational learning materials for schoolchildren (Basic General Education and Secondary General Education level) and can be used by computer science teachers in their classroom, extracurricular, and project-research activities, as well as in preparing high school students for AI and data analysis Olympiads.

Published: December 2024

The relevance of the work is due to the conclusions about the lack of a clear and generally accepted definition of the concept of “integration” in relation to the educational sphere. The novelty of the study is due to the fact that integration educational processes are described in terms of competency-oriented training. The work substantiates the theoretical foundations of educational integration, defines the phenomenon of integrative competence, and describes its structure. The authors analyzed the driving force, content and essence of integration processes in education. The laws of integration processes are given: the interdependence of the processes of integration and disintegration, the organic unity of the whole and its parts, the inextricable connection between the process and the result. The stages of educational activities aimed at integrating the competencies acquired by students are identified, and the mechanism for integrating such competencies in the educational process is schematically presented. Based on theoretical research, areas of pedagogical activity are identified that contribute to the effectiveness of the integration of competencies in the process of professional training. The purpose of the article. The article presents theoretical base and the results of an experiment on the acquisition of complex integrative competencies by university students. Research methods. The described theoretical foundations for the formation of integrative competencies of students made it possible to identify areas of pedagogical activity that contribute to the acquisition of complex integrative competencies by students: development of functional and structural modules for integrative training of students; coordinating the methodological interaction of teachers of the humanitarian and professional educational cycles of the university, assessing the efficiency of the research process. To test the hypothesis, students were offered a course of professional communication training, which integrated elements of such disciplines as a foreign language, Fundamentals of professional management and Theoretical foundations of electrical engineering. The authors used statistical processing methods to judge the objectivity of the data obtained. Results. Students’ mastery of integrative competencies, which act as indicators of training effectiveness, was assessed before and after students completed the developed course, as well as in the control group. At the control stage of the experiment, the Fisher criterion was used for mathematical processing of the results. Conclusions. The results of the experiment confirmed the hypothesis put forward by the authors. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that the topic of educational integration is promising from the point of view of ensuring the effectiveness of vocational training and requires further development within the framework of vocational education.

The facilitation of creative self-actualization of a person with disabilities and people with disabilities finds itself at the forefront of the conditions that lead to the organic inclusion of the people with specific educational needs into the society. At the university, this process determines the need for an academic mentor able to fulfill the function of facilitation within a developed system of cross-level connections in between all the elements of special and inclusive education that considers a multi-level model of personal development and upbringing through environmental interaction in full. The purpose of this research is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the process of creative self–realization of a person with disabilities and people with disabilities. Modeling environmental characteristics, substantiation of network cooperation in the interests of a self-fulfilling personality are in the focus of this paper. The research methodology is based on the theoretical constructs of the cultural and historical concept (L. S. Vygotsky); holistic approach in psychology (A. Maslow); humanistic psychology (K. Rogers). The results of the study represent a scientific generalization of empirical experience and the results obtained within longitudinal procedures of more than twenty years. In special psychology, there is a tradition of the long-term, rigorous research on a person with special educational needs and people with disabilities. The survey analysis gives grounds for a holistic perspective of a person – “a unified personality in a holistic world.” In conclusion of the research based on theoretical modeling and a longitudinal experiment that covers twenty years, we present a comprehensive psychological and pedagogical model of support at various stages along with the path of self–actualization for each of them. Based on self-realization via creative self-actualization in the space of assistive solutions aimed at combining efforts and a kind of “holistic ecumenism” the survey presents a predicted development space individuals in special inclusive education.

Authors:   Voronezh State Pedagogical University, Alekhina Ekaterina Valentinovna
Published: December 2024

In the article, the author raises the question of the specifics of the organization of education in an inclusive school, defines the limitations and risks of this process. Based on domestic legislation, domestic and foreign authors, the article formulates a set of features of an inclusive school. The lack of consideration of the risks of education in an inclusive school can lead to undesirable consequences in the educational process not only for children with disabilities, but also for other students. The purpose of the article. The purpose of the article is to identify problem areas, risk situations and limitations in the organization of the educational process in an inclusive school. Methodology and methods of research. The article examines the issues of education in an inclusive school from the standpoint of socio-pedagogical and inclusive approaches. Some issues of the organization of an inclusive educational system are based on concepts about the educational space, the way of school, and the culture of the educational organization. In the course of the research, methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis, collection of empirical material through observation, pedagogical reflection, etc. were used. The results of the study. The author characterizes the limitations of education in an inclusive school, which are systemic, but are not defined or difficult to determine in the process of introspection of an educational organization. Among them are the peculiarities of the nosology of students, the substitution of the upbringing of children with disabilities only with correctional and developmental activities, the specifics of the inclusion of children with disabilities in the school team. The characterization of restrictions allows us to identify the risks of education in an inclusive school, which, in turn, create conditions for changing the nature of education to an inappropriate inclusive approach, that is, excluding students with disabilities from certain types of activities. Conclusion. In conclusion, conclusions are drawn about the results of the analysis of education in an inclusive school.

Authors: Andjani Alifia , Munandar Moh. Aris , Beny Mukti Setiyawan Wahyu , Hardi Saputro Iwan
Published: December 2024

Political thought has a crucial role in determining policies and shaping the ideal social order. In Indonesia, various ideologies are present, including Pancasila as the foundation of the state as well as the concepts of pluralism, nationalism, and democracy. Hamdan Zoelva's thought emphasizes the importance of the constitution as the basic norm of the state of law and the protector of human rights. Hamdan criticized liberalism and capitalism which he considered could erode the values of Pancasila in Indonesia's political and economic system. In his book Constitutional Struggle, he warns that the dominance of capitalism must be controlled according to the principles of Pancasila. This research aims to 1) understand Hamdan Zoelva's political journey, and 2) find out the causes of his political thinking about the constitution. The research data includes primary and secondary sources, processed through interviews and documentation. The validity of the data was checked by examining Hamdan's background, such as his curriculum vitae, education, influence, and political and cultural conditions at the time. The results of the study show that Hamdan Zoelva sees the constitution as the will of the people that must be respected. He emphasized the role of the Constitutional Court (MK) in maintaining the balance of power and protecting human rights. However, Hamdan criticized the amendment to the 2024 Constitutional Court Law which he considered threatening the independence of judges.
O que é religião pura? Uma reflexão em Tiago 1,26-27
Authors: Gonzaga Waldecir , Bustamante Rosendo Javier
Published: December 2024

This study explores the concept of “pure and undefiled religion” in Jas 1,26-27, a central passage of the epistle that emphasizes the relevance of practical faith, evidenced through concrete actions. It is one of the seven texts referred to as catholic, universal, general, or non-Pauline letters, written by apostles from the group of twelve (James, Peter, John, and Jude). These texts may be small in size but hold immense significance in contributing to the Christian faith. The research begins with a detailed textual and critical analysis, aiming to understand the essential aspects of the definition of religion presented by James. Two fundamental components are investigated: the care for orphans and widows, representing the commitment to the most vulnerable in society, and the act of keeping oneself unstained by the world, reflecting the need for maintaining a morally upright life. The study offers a theological and exegetical reflection on these precepts, analyzing their ethical implications for Christian life and religious practice. This analysis examines the practical and theological dimensions emerging from the text, focusing on the integration of faith and works as defended by the author of the epistle. Additionally, the work seeks to contextualize James' teachings within the reality of the early Christian communities and reflects on their relevance to contemporary Christianity. For this purpose, the text of Jas 1,26-27 is presented in Greek and Portuguese translation, followed by a textual criticism and a biblical-theological-pastoral analysis, drawing conclusions for Christian life in various contemporary communities.

Кратко рассмотрены жизненный путь и научное наследие выдающегося российского ученого, ботанико-географа, естествоиспытателя, исследователя природы Сибири и Центральной Азии, организатора науки и образования профессора Томского государственного университета Василия Васильевича Сапожникова. Рассмотрен вклад ученого в географическую науку: кратко описаны его экспедиции на Русский (1895, 1897, 1898, 1899, 1905, 1911, 1920, 1921 гг.) и Монгольский (1905, 1906, 1908, 1909 гг.) Алтай, в Семиречье (нынешние Казахстан и Киргизия) (1902, 1904, 1912, 1913, 1914 гг.), Турецкую Армению (теперь территория Турции) (1916 г.). Отмечено, что в экспедициях В.В. Сапожникова собраны обширные ботанические, зоологические и минералогические коллекции, проведены инструментальные измерения высот на всех маршрутах, изучены современное и древнее оледенение Алтая, открыты новые, измерены и закартированы уже известные ледники всех исследованных горных стран, сделаны метеорологические наблюдения. Научное наследие ученого позволяет судить об изменениях климата и растительности, отступании ледников и скорости их таяния, описывать новые для науки виды растений по прошествии 100 и более лет.

The life path and scientific heritage of the outstanding Russian scientist, botanist and geographer, naturalist, researcher of the nature of Siberia and Central Asia, organizer of science and education, professor of Tomsk State University Vasily Vasilyevich Sapozhnikov are briefly described. The contribution of V.V. Sapozhnikov to geographical science is considered. Among them are his expeditions to the Russian Altai (1895, 1897, 1898, 1899, 1905, 1911, 1920, and 1921), to the Mongolian Altai (1905, 1906, 1908, and 1909), to Semirechye (now it is the territory of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan) (1902, 1904, 1912, 1913, and 1914), to Turkish Armenia (now it is the territory of Turkey) (1916). It is pointed out that V.V. Sapozhnikov’s expeditions gathered extensive botanical, zoological and mineralogical collections, made instrumental measurements of altitudes on all routes, obtained meteorological observations and observation of modern and ancient glaciation of Altai, discovered new glaciers as well as providing results of measurements and mapping of all glaciers in all of the mountain systems studied. His scientific heritage makes it possible to judge changes in climate and vegetation, the retreat of glaciers and the rate of their melting, and to describe new plant species even after 100 years.

Published: December 2024

Brejos Nordestinos (northeastern highland wet forests) is a unique ecosystem within the Northeastern Atlantic Forest. This area encompasses remmants of humid forests above 600 meters in the semi-arid region. These environmental conditions create an optimal ecosystem for the diversification of plants, including ferns. Pico do Jabre in Paraíba state, with an elevation of 1,208 meters above sea level, is an example of Brejo Nordestino. This study reports the occurrence of Pleopeltis pleopeltidis in the Northeastern Atlantic Forest, particularly at Pico do Jabre, a new record of P. pleopeltifolia for Paraíba state, and the local fern flora. Additional records of P. pleopeltidis were found in the municipalities of Triunfo and Floresta, in Pernambuco state, which are also classified as Brejos Nordestinos with elevations exceeding 1,000 m a.s.l. These findings extend the species known extent of occurrence by approximately 40%. The conservation status of P. pleopeltidis is suggested as Vulnerable (VU) across its entire range and Endangered (EN) in Northeast Brazil. The distance between populations in the Northeastern Atlantic Forest and the nearest populations in Bahia state ranges from 763–931 km, indicating a potential disjunction. Although the species occurs in three relatively close Brejos Nordestinos, the fragmented nature of the Northeastern Atlantic Forest results in isolated populations on these biogeographical islands, surrounded by a Caatinga (seasonally dry tropical forest) matrix.

Calibration coefficients of epitaxial diodes used in diagnostic radiology and computed tomography beams
Authors: Gonçalves Josemary A. C. , De Lara Antonio Patrícia , V. E. Caldas Linda , C. Bueno Carmen
Published: December 2024

The assessment of the calibration coefficients of an epitaxial diode, previously characterized for diagnostic radiology (RQR qualities) and computed tomography (RQT qualities) dosimetry, is reported in this work. The diode, with an n-type epitaxial layer (50 µm) grown on a thick (300 µm) Czochralski silicon substrate, is directly connected to an electrometer Keithley 6517B in the photovoltaic mode and exposed to X-ray beams from a Pantak/Seifert generator, model Isovolt 160 HS. Under this operational condition, the dosimetric quantity is the dose rate correlated with the output current signal from the diode when exposed to radiation. The corresponding collected charge (the integral of the current signal) is proportional to the dose. The repeatability of the current signals and the dose response of the diode are investigated in several RQR and RQT beam qualities spanning from 50 kV to 150 kV.  The calibration coefficients (Nk) are assessed by linking the diode readings to those from the standard ionization chambers for reference beam qualities (RQR-5 and RQT-9) following the formalism recommended by Technical Reports Series No. 457. To take into account the variations of the X-ray beams related to the correspondent reference beam qualities, the correction factors are also calculated. Despite being close to 1, they evidence the energy dependence of the EPI diode for voltages above 100 kV.
BIOTECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEM FOR THE SEARCH OF SUBSTANCES WITH POTENTIAL ACTIVITY AGAINST CORONAVIRUS
Authors:   Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Kyiv, Ukraine, Smetiukh M.P.
Published: December 2024

Aim. Development of a biotechnological system based on a non-pathogenic coronavirus strain for humans and a sensitive cell line to the selected strain aimed at identifying compounds with potential antiviral activity.

Methods. The study was conducted on the cell lines CEF, CEFs, and ВНК-21, which are sensitive to the avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Cell cultivation was performed in flasks and microplates with adhesive surfaces at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. To detach the cells from the growth surface, a Versene solution (0.02%) was used, and for trypsinization of CEF, a trypsin solution (0.25%) was applied. Growth media for all cell cultures were prepared based on a mixture of RPMI-1640 and DMEM in a 1:1 ratio, supplemented with 5% fetal serum.

Results. The adaptation of the model virus IBV strain H120 to cultivation in ВНК-21 cell cultures was carried out using intermediate CEF and CEF cultures. In ВНК-21 cells, IBV induced a pronounced cytopathic effect and demonstrated high infectious titers, reaching 5.5 lg TCID50/mL. The use of intermediate CEF and CEF cell cultures facilitated the gradual adaptation of the virus to the new cultivation conditions due to the antigenic affinity between chicken embryo fibroblast cells and avian embryos.

Conclusions: As a result of the conducted research, the vaccine virus IBV H-120 was successfully adapted to cultivation conditions in ВНК-21 cell cultures, using primary trypsinized chicken embryo fibroblast cells as an intermediate system. The obtained system "ВНК-21 cell culture + IBV H-120," cultivated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere, can be recommended for use in further biotechnological and virological studies, particularly for evaluating the antiviral activity of potential drugs against coronaviruses.

The article discusses the latest approaches to the role and place of social workers in healthcare, related to the transition of many countries, including Ukraine, to a new disability assessment model – bio-psychosocial. The aim of the research is to determine the role of a social worker in multidisciplinary teams providing rehabilitation assistance in a rehabilitation facility, and to substantiate the optimal tool for assessing the degree of disability of individuals with limitations in daily functioning. The considered methods of disability assessment in different countries made it possible to state the application of different approaches and the possibility of involving social workers in this process. It is stated, that the implementation of ICF principles in the health care system significantly increases the role of social workers, who assess the level of limitation of a person’s vital activities in separate domains. The authors show that there is currently no universal tool for assessing ICF domains. Most countries develop their own assessment tools for use in the context of social policy, but the basis is the universal health and disability assessment tool developed by WHO experts (WHO Disability Assessment Schedule, WHODAS). The article analyzes the experience of Korea, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Sweden regarding the assessment of violations carried out by a medical social worker. The necessity and expediency of the participation of social workers as part of an interdisciplinary team is proved. It is substantiated that the new role of the social worker in the field of health care is that he/she, as a member of the multidisciplinary team of the rehabilitation institution, should participate in the process of determining disability in addition to assessing social needs. The authors proposed a tool for assessing the degree of limitation of a person’s vital activities in accordance with WHODAS 2.0, which will contribute to the effective implementation of the ICF in Ukraine.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Preterm birth results in neonatal and childhood morbidity and mortality. Additionally, population-based studies show poorer cardiovascular health in adult survivors, but a full range of health outcomes has not been investigated into midlife. We aimed to assess the health outcomes after preterm vs term birth at 50 years in survivors of a randomized trial of antenatal betamethasone.

METHODS

Participants were asked to complete a health questionnaire and for consent to access administrative data. Participants deceased prior to follow-up were assessed with administrative data alone. The primary outcome was a composite: any of diabetes mellitus, prediabetes, treated hypertension, treated dyslipidemia, or a previous major adverse cardiovascular event. Secondary outcomes included respiratory, mental health, educational, and other health outcomes.

RESULTS

We included 470 participants: 424 assessed at mean age 49.3 years and 46 who died after infancy. The primary outcome occurred in 34.5% (112/325) of those born preterm and 29.9% (43/144) of those born at term; adjusted relative risk (aRR) 1.14 (95% CI, 0.85-1.54; P = .37). Cardiovascular events were less common in those born preterm (9/326 [2.8%] vs 10/144 [6.9%]; aRR 0.33, 95% CI, 0.14–0.79), while self-reported hypertension was more common (101/291 [34.7%] vs 23/116 [19.8%]; aRR 1.74, 95% CI, 1.16–2.61), although treated hypertension was not statistically significantly different (66/323 [20.4%] vs 22/143 [15.4%]; aRR 1.32, 95% CI, 0.84–2.06). Other components of the composite endpoint were similar between those born preterm and at term.

CONCLUSIONS

Those aged 50 years born preterm were more likely to have hypertension but had similar risk of diabetes, prediabetes, and dyslipidemia than those born at term, and their risk of cardiovascular events was lower.

Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) screening was added to the US Recommended Uniform Screening Panel in 2011 and adopted by all US states and territories by 2018. In addition to reviewing key developments in CCHD screening since the initial American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) endorsement in 2011, this clinical report provides 3 updated recommendations. First, a new AAP algorithm has been endorsed for use in CCHD screening. Compared with the original AAP algorithm from 2011, this new algorithm a) has a passing oxygen saturation threshold of ≥95% in both pre- and post-ductal measurements; and b) has only 1 retest instead of 2 for infants who did not pass the first screen. Second, to continue to improve screening, state newborn screening programs should collect a recommended minimum uniform dataset to aid in surveillance and monitoring of the program. Finally, stakeholders should be educated on the limitations of screening, the significance of non-CCHD conditions, and the importance of protocol adherence. Future directions of CCHD screening include improving overall sensitivity and implementing methods to reduce health inequities. It will remain critical that the AAP and its chapters and members work with health departments and hospitals to achieve awareness and implementation of these recommendations.
Кіровоградщина у 1941 році: соціальні виміри військової історії
Authors: Житков Олександр
Published: December 2024

Актуальність теми статті полягає в осмисленні сучасних тенденцій розвитку регіональної історіографії Другої світової війни. У статті стверджується думка, що висвітлення специфіки оборонних боїв в Центральній Україні  уможливлює деконструкцію радянського міфу про народний характер війни, сприяє відтворенню «історичної правди» у світлі розвитку вітчизняних історико-краєзнавчих досліджень першої чверті 2000-х років.
Мета, сформульована автором публікації, полягає у виявленні нових тенденцій вивчення історії оборонних боїв, соціальних аспектів військової історії початкового періоду окупації Кіровоградщини 1941 року  у дослідженнях краєзнавців.
Результати. На основі розмаїтих за походженням джерел авторами розглядалися хід оборонних боїв 6 та 12 армій Південно-Західного та Південного фронтів, історія окремих військових частин, персоналії. Окреслено історію військових дій, пов’язаних з обороною окремих районних центрів Кіровоградської області: Малої Виски, Новоархангельська, інших. Велика частка дослідженого матеріалу, включно архівних документів, мемуарів, фронтових щоденників вперше стали об’єктом аналізу істориків-краєзнавців. На їхній основі висвітлювалися соціальні аспекти військової історії. Однак, актуалізовані проблеми не стали складовою комплексного наукового дослідження, на яке очікує громадськість.
Висновки автора статті констатують здобутки дослідників та засвідчують важливість і нагальність продовження пошуків краєзнавців у напрямках виявлення причин окупації регіону, перших кроків окупаційної влади щодо організації управління у тилу, економічного виживання та облаштування повсякденного життя громадян. Зазначається потреба у поновленні розпочатого дослідницького проекту вивчення історії спротиву національно-патріотичних сил в межах Центральноукраїнського регіону.

Кралицького на сторінках галицьких видань, і на її основі вивчити науковий доробок вченого, охарактеризувати його погляди та роль для культурної співпраці між Закарпаттям та Галичиною та процесу національного усвідомлення.  При підготовці статті використано наступні методи дослідження – метод біографістики, методи критичного аналізу джерел, історико-порівняльний та історико-генетичний методи.
Результати. В статті опрацьовано публіцистику А. Кралицького на сторінках галицьких видань «Науковий сборник Галицько-русской матиці», «Слово», «Галичанин». Окреслено джерельну вартість цих публікацій, історичну цінність та важливість для формування спільної історичної пам’яті. Звернуто увагу на тези А. Кралицького  про етнічну спорідненість закарпатських українців з українцями по той бік Карпат. В студії також використано епістолярну спадщину А. Кралицького до Я. Головацького та Б. Дідицького, що були редакторами видань, де публікувався закарпатський вчений.
Висновки. На основі опрацьованих матеріалів, дійшли до висновків, що публіцистика А. Кралицького на сторінках галицьких видань не тільки важливе джерело для розуміння його творчої спадщини, а й важливий сегмент для детальнішого висвітлення становища українців в добу національного відродження та культурної співпраці між елітою українського суспільства тієї доби.
Онтологічна риторика в контексті сучасного соціально-гуманітарного дослідження
Authors: Палагута Вадим
Published: December 2024

Актуальність. Стаття розглядає в контексті «онтологічного повороту» у соціально-гуманітарному пізнанні особливості онтологічної риторики, яка з нових позицій розкриває глибинний зміст соціально-політичних реалій для життєдіяльності індивіда у сучасному глобалізованому суспільстві. Надається новий зміст риториці як новітньої стратегії втілення відношень між соціальним, політичним та індивідуальним виміром буття у сучасному світі.
Метою статті є висвітлення витоків, особливостей, значення та перспектив використання онтологічної риторики у соціально-гуманітарному пізнанні.
Результати. При розгляданні витоків та особливостей онтологічної риторики встановлено, що одними із фундаторів онтологічної риторики в плані взаємозв’язку риторичних форм, як основи мовленнєвих практик та формування індивідуальної суб’єктності, є французький філософ і психоаналітик Ж. Лакан; а розробці принципів онтологічної риторики присвятив свій науковий шлях Є. Лаклау, який спирався на розробки Ф. де Сосюра, Р. Якобсона, П. де Мана, Ж. Женетта. Розглянуто специфіка металогічних конструкцій, починаючи від  континууму метонімії та метафори та закінчуючи висвітленням значущості в сучасному соціально-політичному і гуманітарному пізнанні катахрези. На думку автора, подальше розширення онтологічна риторика набуде не тільки за рахунок базисного тропу, як катахреза, а й із залученням таких стилістичних фігур та тропів, як – амфіболія, перифраза, антитеза, парадокс, еліпс, аномінація, алюзія, апосіопеза (замовчування), антономазія, гіпотипоза.
Висновки. Доведено, що використання онтологічної риторики у соціально-політичному та гуманітарному вимірі дозволить зв’язати в єдиний вузол соціальне, політичне з індивідуальним буттям людини.  Простежено вплив французького філософа та психоаналітика Ж. Лакана на формування основних положень онтологічної риторики Е. Лаклау, яка спирається на значення мови та мовлення для індивіда, які визначаються  переважно несвідомими процесами та розповсюджуються у сучасності на соціально-політичні явища. Доведено, що онтологічна риторика базується на основі нового розуміння риторики та потребує залучення інших стилістичних фігур, не тільки метафори та метонімії, а й катахрези та споріднених з нею тропів, які причетні до утворення нових смислів, тобто мають тотожні смислові характеристики. Показано, що онтологічну риторику можна представляти в більш широкому контексті, оскільки тропологічні моделі стають способом побудови логічних моделей несвідомих процесів, що зумовлюють створення та особливості функціонування всіх знакових систем. В якості перспективи для майбутніх досліджень існує потреба в розробці міждисциплінарної методології, яка буде в змозі поєднати онтологічну риторику не тільки з соціальною та політичною філософію та теоретичним психоаналізом, а й розширити її з залученням інших напрямків соціально-гуманітарного дослідження.
Environmental Imagination in Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping and Lila
Authors: Světlíková Anna
Published: December 2024

This article considers how the natural environment is represented in two novels by Marilynne Robinson and also references her non-fiction work. While Robinson is an outspoken advocate of various social causes in her essays and public speeches, environmental themes do not appear very frequently in her non-fiction texts. However, in her novels and particularly in Housekeeping and Lila, nature a large role. These two novels have some significant connections, and yet they differ fundamentally in their environmental implications. This difference can be related to the difference between first- and second-wave ecocriticism.
L'imaginaire linguistique à travers l'analyse d'adjectifs. Comprendre les motivations des apprenants tchèques dans le choix de langues étrangères
Authors: Lemonnier Moïse
Published: December 2024

This study, part of a thesis dedicated to foreign language learning in the Czech school system since the country’s entry into the European Union in 2004, aims to understand Czech students’ choices regarding foreign language learning. The research includes a thorough analysis of data from the Czech Ministry of Education, an exploration of the impact of educational and linguistic policies, and a study of the linguistic imaginaries of learners. The evolution of foreign language learning in the Czech Republic shows dynamics specific to each educational level. English dominates, while German, Russian, Spanish, and French experience various fluctuations. The study of linguistic imaginaries, based on a survey of pupils and students, reveals different perceptions for each language. English is perceived as useful, international, and easy. German is considered useful and interesting by learners, but unpleasant and discordant by non-learners. Russian is seen as interesting and melodious by learners, but uninteresting and unpleasant by non-learners. Spanish is described as beautiful, attractive, and melodious by everyone. Finally, French is perceived as beautiful, elegant, and romantic, but difficult. The study concludes that linguistic imaginaries help explain the evolution of foreign language learning in the Czech Republic, although other factors also play a role. Understanding these imaginaries can aid in developing appropriate linguistic and educational policy strategies.

Published: December 2024

This paper presents the experimental investigation of the behavior of square reinforced concrete columns with high-strength (100 ksi [690 MPa]) steel coiled strips as embedded confinement reinforcement under reversed-cyclic lateral loading and constant axial compression load. Six full-scale specimens (20 × 20 in. [508 × 508 mm] cross section) with the following vari¬ations were tested: confinement type (strip or reinforc¬ing bar), layout (hoops and ties, spirals), and reinforce-ment ratios. The strip-confined specimens had similar peak strengths as a specimen confined by reinforcing bar ties, and this strength exceeded analytical predic¬tions. The stiffness of the strip-confined specimens was greater than the reinforcing-bar-confined specimen. In accordance with the American Concrete Institute’s Acceptance Criteria for Moment Frames Based on Structural Testing (T1.1-01), all specimens met the cri¬terion that the lateral load at 3.5% drift was not below 75% of the peak. Strip-confined specimens demonstrat¬ed improved residual strength behavior relative to the reinforcing-bar-confined specimen. Overall, the study demonstrated the promise of steel strip confinement for reinforced concrete columns in seismic regions.

This work aimed to investigate interactions between antibody-opsonized SARS-CoV-2 and monocytes enriched from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to determine whether antibody dependent enhancement might contribute to the pathophysiology of COVID-19. Pre-incubation of SARS-CoV-2 with sera from hospitalized COVID-19 patients led to significantly increased virus uptake and viral replication in monocytes. Remarkably, SARS-CoV-2 pre-incubated with sera from patients with severe COVID-19 but not those with mild disease or post vaccination strongly increased IL-6 secretion by monocytes. Antibody dependent viral uptake was partially inhibited by monoclonal anti-FcγRIIa antibody whereas IL-6 secretion was completely abolished. FcγRIIa preferentially binds IgG2, and sera from patients with severe COVID-19 contained lower IgG2 levels as compared to mild COVID-19 cases whereas IgG1 levels were increased. These data suggests that FcγRIIa-mediated binding of antibody-opsonized SARS-CoV-2 critically impacts monocytic inflammatory cytokine release and COVID-19 pathophysiology.
The Roles of Persis in Education Development in Indonesia 1923-2024
Authors: Samsudin Samsudin , Sudana Djodjo Sukardjo , Suwanda Satya Adilaga
Published: December 2024

Persis (Persatuan Islam –Islamic Union) is one of the Islamic organizations in Indonesia that has made a significant contribution to the development of education since it was founded in 1923. This article aims to analyze the role of Persis in building an education system based on Islamic values, starting from the colonial era and the independence to the current modern era. Using a historical and qualitative-descriptive approach, this research examines the educational strategies, challenges and innovations carried out by Persis through madrasas, Islamic boarding schools and formal educational institutions. The findings show that Persis is consistent in fighting for education based on pure Islamic beliefs, both through curriculum formation, teacher training and the development of educational institutions. In the reform and digital era, Persis continues to adapt to technology and global needs to ensure the relevance of Islamic education in producing a generation with noble character and high competence. This research confirms that the role of Persis education does not only cover the Islamic realm but also contributes to Indonesia's national development.
Contribution: By promoting character education through various community initiatives, including social media outreach, Persis demonstrates its commitment to fostering a generation that embodies noble values while being equipped for modern societal roles.
