SURREALISMO E SUAS REVERBERAÇÕES
Authors: Alvarenga Marcello Nicole , Maciel Cíntia
Published: December 2024

Este artigo discute como a criação poético-imagética surrealista configura tanto uma atitude estética quanto ética. Defende-se a perspectiva de que as práticas do surrealismo possibilitam a abertura a novos modos de subjetivação dos indivíduos pertencentes às sociedades ocidentalizadas, na medida em que questionam as dicotomias comumente estabelecidas, tais como: corpo-mente; consciente-inconsciente; humano-não-humano; natureza-sociedade; sujeito-objeto. Para isso, parte-se de uma discussão acerca da imagem surrealista, a partir do Primeiro Manifesto escrito por André Breton. Na sequência, discute-se também como a obra de Antonin Artaud e a de Hilda Hilst reverberaram algumas das propostas surrealistas, cada uma a seu modo. Evidencia-se, por fim, que os artistas e poetas que adotaram as práticas do surrealismo buscaram afetar tanto o campo da linguagem quanto da literatura, desestabilizando-os e, ao mesmo tempo, formando imagens novas e até aquele momento impensadas.
DIÁLOGOS TEXTUAIS SOBRE A LIBERDADE
Authors: Pinto de Azevedo Érika
Published: December 2024

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre textos redigidos ao longo do século 20 em espaços sociais, culturais e literários diversos, mas que têm relações ora divergentes ora contíguas entre si. Assim, Massak (1986), peça teatral do escritor guianense Elie Stéphenson, tem relações com Le Nègre du Gouverneur (1972), narrativa de Serge Patient, outro escritor guianense. Ambas têm em comum um personagem lendário da Guiana Francesa, o africano D'Chimbo. Começo por uma breve abordagem desse personagem e da narrativa de Serge Patient para depois apresentar Massak, que encena o episódio da revolta dos marrons na Guiana Francesa. Em seguida, menciono “Que foi o Quilombo dos Palmares” (1956), ensaio do poeta surrealista Benjamin Péret, para relembrar a proximidade entre marronnage e revolta dos Palmares, sua defesa da liberdade sem concessões, oposta em tudo à assimilação negra. Comento enfim como as opções da liberdade e do não conformismo absoluto aparecem no Manifesto do surrealismo (1924) de André Breton. A defesa dessas duas opções se manifesta tanto na trajetória dos autores em questão, quanto em seus textos e, ainda hoje, parece ser fundamental para as histórias e as literaturas da América Latina.

Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on the analysis of the China-Mozambique cooperation and the megaproject’s role in the territorial development plan of Mozambique during the 2000s. Its objective is to answer the question: is it possible to assume that Chinese investments in megaproject’s constructions can increase economic growth and result in productive and social development in Mozambique? In this regard, the paper proposes to identify the main economic and social effects related to the implementation of Chinese infrastructure megaprojects in the country to understand if it’s possible to appoint the strategy adopted by Mozambique as a real kind of transformation and socioeconomic development.

Ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from Doñana (SW Spain): an updated checklist, including new records, of Recent and Quaternary non-marine, marine and brackish species in the area
Authors: Baltanás Ángel , Bravo-Utrera Miguel Ángel , González-Regalado María Luz , Tasso Stephani , Ruiz Francisco
Published: December 2024

Here we provide an updated list of ostracod taxa (Crustacea, Ostracoda) identified from freshwater, brackish and marine (infralittoral) environments in the 'Doñana Natural Area' and alongside its adjacent shores. This list, based on both published and new records, encompasses a total of 101 species spanning a stratigraphic sequence from the Lower Pliocene to the present. Sixty-five marine species have been found to occur in the area (11 of which also thrive in brackish waters); of which just over 50% (34 spp.) are present both in Recent samples collected in the infralittoral zone, and as fossils/subfossils found in sediment cores. Nineteen other marine species have been found solely in the infralittoral zone whereas other twelve species occurred exclusively as fossils or subfossils in sediment cores. Conversely, the total number of non-marine species recorded amounts to thirty-seven, eight of which are new records for ‘Doñana Natural Area’. All the non-marine species recorded have been found as living organisms in Recent samples although seven of them have been found as subfossils in sediment cores as well. In agreement with the diversity of aquatic habitats in the area and the sampling effort carried out over more than six decades, the non-marine ostracofauna of Doñana constitutes a significant portion (~33%) of the overall known species richness across the Iberian Peninsula.

Published: December 2024

In Ukraine, the destruction of natural aquatic ecosystems has reached a critical point. The purpose of the study is to analyse foreign experience in the development and revitalization of aquatic ecosystems and resources, and the possibilities of implementing modern monitoring and management systems, as well the state and public regulation in the field of water resources consumption and reproduction. During the study, the methods of system analysis, synthesis, generalisation, and synergistic approaches and methods of inference were used in the assessment and development models of overly complex aquatic ecosystems. It has been determined that the experience of European countries in the field of water protection, such as the rules for wastewater management and the use of nitrates in agriculture, is particularly relevant for Ukraine. Adopting this experience will help to form an integrated water resources management in Ukraine. The study shows that Ukraine's European integration encourages interstate cooperation on water bodies and water basin management, when a comprehensive integrated principle of basin management on an interstate basis will allow Ukraine to revitalize rivers and important reservoirs and maintain them in a state of sustainable development. The author suggests the need to form a new paradigm of state monitoring and sustainable development of aquatic ecosystems in Ukraine in terms of concentrating available resources on priority water bodies and comprehensive coverage of a water body (small river basin), systematic revitalization of the Dnipro reservoirs through reconstruction, and elimination of most artificial structures in the floodplains.

Published: December 2024

Public speaking anxiety is a common issue faced by students, particularly in academic settings. It may arise from a range of factors, including humiliation, physical appearance, preparation, audience interest, personality traits, rigid rules, unfamiliar role, negative result, and mistakes. This research seeks to determine the factors influencing different levels of public speaking anxiety among students at Universitas Negeri Padang through the application of ordinal regression with LASSO regularization. This method allows for automatic selection of significant variables and addressesmulticollinearity issues. The results indicate that eight factors influence low public speaking anxiety levels, while only six factors impact high public speaking anxiety levels. The ordinal regression model with LASSO penalty demonstrates good performance in classifying public speaking anxiety levels, achieving an accuracy of 71.33%. This study is expected to help students and educators better understand and manage public speaking anxiety, thereby enhancing public spekaing competence among students

Earworms: Caracterizando uma imaginação musical cotidiana
Authors: Yamaguchi Vitor
Published: December 2024

Earworms, ou Imaginação Musical Involuntária (Involuntary Musical Imagery, InMI), constituem uma das formas mais difundidas da imaginação musical, designando a experiência mental espontânea com fragmentos musicais geralmente melódicos, familiares ao indivíduo e de maneira repetitiva. A terminologia InMI é imprecisa, pois pode englobar fenômenos diversos como obsessões ou alucinações, enquanto que earworms constituem uma experiência mais específica, cotidiana e não patológica, altamente prevalente, ainda que compreendida de forma incipiente. Este trabalho visa discutir (1) a literatura atual sobre o fenômeno, identificando consensos emergentes e pontos controversos, (2) certas limitações metodológicas, e (3) as interpretações generalistas correntes que associam a experiência a conceitos cognitivos correlatos. A partir de uma revisão narrativa das pesquisas teóricas e empíricas nos campos da cognição musical, psicologia e neurociências, os resultados mostram que tratar o fenômeno como mera rememoração involuntária valida alguns preditores intuitivos, como a exposição musical repetitiva e gatilhos associativos, mas obscurece nuances mnemônicas específicas à cognição musical. O artigo contribui para o entendimento interdisciplinar dos earworms, oferecendo insights sobre sua natureza enquanto uma manifestação cotidiana da musicalidade humana, indicando a existência de alguma especificidade cognitiva musical para a compreensão do fenômeno.

Authors: Monteiro Igor Viana , Pereira Eliton Perpetuo Rosa
Published: December 2024

O texto apresenta uma investigação que objetivou elaborar uma proposta educativo musical com base no multiculturalismo a partir de uma perspectiva crítica. Propusemos, assente na Abordagem Triangular, a criação de dois e-books para a Educação Musical Coletiva com Instrumentos Musicais, voltados para o ensino de música na educação básica. A elaboração do material tomou como referência os direcionamentos pedagógicos presentes em um projeto de música intitulado ‘Cajuzinhos do Cerrado’ e nas minhas experiências vividas enquanto Educador Musical no Brasil. A pesquisa se justifica na necessidade de investigar a temática em questão, haja vista o reduzido número de pesquisas na área da Educação Musical Multicultural, sobretudo no que concerne as metodologias coletivas de ensino de instrumento, tencionando contribuir para a ação pedagógica de outros educadores. Ante o apresentado, considera-se que a abordagem musical multiculturalista está intrinsicamente relacionada a ação pedagógica do corpo docente e que, portanto, deve valer-se de medidas didáticas que tornem a ação pedagógica efetiva.
The ‘breakthrough generation’ as the bearer of the idea of a European federation
Authors: Svoboda Jan
Published: December 2024

The term ‘breakthrough generation’ was coined by the German philosopher Hugo Fischer (1897–1975) in 1930, at the very beginning of the Great Depression. This structural notion represents a timeless, emancipation oriented ideal that effectively integrates the relevant positive qualities and abilities of modern and critically thinking man, which he has potentially picked up in the course of his historical development towards a higher humanity as a European and realist, and which he actually possesses as qualities and norms. This complex ethos is intended to form the initial basis on which the modern idea of a European federation is consciously realised. The purpose of this paper is not only to creatively point to these concrete and supporting motivational starting points and qualitative-historical assumptions of the modern European and to place them in a functional framework of intelligibility, but also to recall the important historical-philosophical fact that Fischer’s specifically grasped and developed idea of the formation of post-war Europe is very closely linked to the thinking of T. G. Masaryk, whom Fischer admired and respected as a philosopher and statesman and whose democratizing idea of a ‘new’ Central European space fundamentally inspired him in many ways.
Transformations and controversies in ethical and moral thinking in Slovak philosophical thought in the 1950s and 1960s
Authors: Foltin Martin
Published: December 2024

The aim of the present paper is to examine ethical and moral philosophical thinking in Slovakia in the 1950s and 1960s, with particular emphasis on the content of the journal Filozofia published by the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA). This study analyses how political and social transformations, especially after February 1948, influenced philosophical discourse, paying particular attention to the development and reformulation of ethical and moral concepts. The main hypothesis of the paper is that, despite the dominant influence of Marxist-Leninist philosophy in the period under study, efforts to criticize and reinterpret this ideology gradually emerged in the 1960s, while alternative approaches began to take shape. The first part of the study focuses on an analysis of the journal Filozofia from its beginnings in 1946 to the end of the 1950s. The second part examines how the authors gradually revised the dogmatic principles of Marxist-Leninist philosophy, criticized Stalinist distortions, and opened the way for new ethical and moral approaches. The controversies that arose in this context reflect an effort to overcome ideological limitations and find new ways of philosophical thinking in a period of fundamental socio-political change.
Philosophical generations in contemporary Russia
Authors: Sineokaya Yulia
Published: December 2024

The generational approach aims to reconstruct the existential context of the development of philosophy, to study the personal ties within the philosophical community. Russia’s invasion in Ukraine in February 2022 has led to a split in the Russian philosophical network. The years of war practically destroyed professional solidarity in the Russian academic community, which is divided into three camps. In the first one, there are researchers opposed to Putin’s regime who have left Russia and found new work in universities and research centres around the world. These colleagues have united in a number of new structures aimed at critically analysing the origins and consequences of the military catastrophe unfolding before our eyes. Some academics who have not found a use for their professional skills abroad have been forced to either change their occupation or return to Russia. In the second camp, there are colleagues working in Russia who see their mission in passive resistance and escapism. Most of them are intimidated and depressed. By the end of 2024, they began to remark that the Kremlin and the Duma were increasingly turning to academics for expert opinion and assistance in developing a new ideology. In the third camp, there are philosophers who share the values of the Russian far right and support the war and repression in Russia, and who are developing a Russian military philosophy. The article examines the transformation of values over two years of war in four generations of Russian philosophers active today (the so-called generations of “stagnation”, “glasnost”, “market reforms” and “relocalisation”).

Purpose

This study examines the potential of the sharing economy model and its application in different economic sectors. It seeks to understand the dynamics of each sector and provide a comprehensive view of the sharing economy’s landscape from a sectoral perspective.

Research methodology

An expert survey approach was adopted for this study. Twelve experts with more than four years of experience and significant influence in different economic sectors were interviewed.

Results

The results showed that the sharing economy model is seen as an important factor with a high potential to change traditional business models, especially in the research and knowledge sector.

Novelty

This research is among the first to take a sectoral perspective on the sharing economy’s development. By examining its implications across different sectors, this study offers a holistic view of the sharing economy, moving beyond the often singular focus on specific platforms. The insights derived from the research can inform policymakers, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs about the potential trajectories and considerations for the sharing economy in diverse sectors.
Interest Rate Exposure of Households in Croatia: A Simulation of the National Reference Rate
Authors: Zauder Krunoslav
Published: December 2024

The 2022-23 monetary policy tightening of the European Central Bank led to a strong rise in bank credit interest rates in the euro area. However, the regulatory specifics of the Croatian banking system, namely the existence of the National Reference Rate and the interest rate limit on variable rate loans have so far muted the effects of the increase in key ECB interest rates. Towards the end of 2023, while the interest rates on new household credit and term deposits have significantly increased, the effect on regulatory benchmarks is absent and expected with a time lag. This paper uses an algorithmic approach to univariate time-series modelling to estimate three scenarios, differing in the intensity of the rise in the volume and interest rates on new term deposits. The estimated series are then used in stock-flow consistent calculations to simulate three possible paths of the National Reference Rate over a three-year horizon. A strong rise in the National Reference Rate of 210 basis points towards the end of 2026 is associated with a scenario which entails the most intense rise in term deposits, such which would result in almost three quarters of all deposits being in the form of term deposits, the level which was previously observed a decade ago. The used approach could be employed to provide inputs to stress-testing and sensitivity analyses.

Exploratory Methodology for Sustainability Assessment in Tourist Destination Planning
Authors: Pardo-López Maria Carmen , García Mónica Cecilia Cortés
Published: December 2024

Objective: The study aims to identify effective planning tools for sustainable tourism destination development, creating a framework that helps planners produce robust, sustainable plans aligned with international standards. This framework bridges the gap between sustainability management and planning, ensuring that tourism plans truly reflect their sustainability goals through actionable content.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study draws on established sustainability certifications like Biosphere, Green Destinations, and toolkits such as the European Tourism Indicators for Sustainability (ETIS). The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Criteria (2013) serves as the core benchmark for evaluating tourism plans.
 
Method: The theoretical approach involved three steps: (1) Confirming the initial hypothesis through literature review, revealing the lack of a formal methodology for sustainable tourism planning. (2) Selecting the GSTC Criteria as the most suitable global system due to their alignment with the SDGs, broad applicability, and credibility. (3) Adapting GSTC management indicators into planning monitoring indicators for effective evaluation.
 
Results and Discussion: The study highlights the absence of clear guidelines for creating actionable sustainable tourism plans. The proposed framework provides tools for destinations to assess the true sustainability of their plans, with a call for further research to validate the framework in different contexts.
 
Research Implications: The study offers two practical applications: 1. Verifying the sustainability of tourism planning documents, and 2. Guiding the creation of plans to ensure sustainability, avoiding shifting these concerns to management.
 
Originality/Value: This study fills a critical gap in sustainable tourism planning by providing a methodology that ensures planning documents meet sustainability standards, offering a fresh contribution to the field.

Published: December 2024

Objective: Determine the factors of significant influence on entrepreneurial motivation in university students at UNA-PUNO.
 
Theoretical Framework: The influencing factors on entrepreneurial motivation arise from risk assessment, desire to set goals, search for new opportunities and self-confidence. generated within the university, based on their entrepreneurial skills and abilities.
 
Method: The methodology is a quantitative approach, descriptive-correlational design, non-experimental. The population considered was 18,000 enrolled students, with a sample of 380, the technique was a structured questionnaire that has proven reliability (Crombach's alpha of 0.959, prior to the use of exploratory factor analysis, its relevance was analyzed, using the KMO statistic, whose value is 0.952.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained were that the KMO is “excellent”, which indicates that it is advisable to continue with the EFA, the Bartlett sphericity test that uses the Chi-square distribution is 9913.86, with the value “sig= 0.00”. Using factor analysis, it was possible to identify four main factors that influence entrepreneurial motivation, factors that we call underlying variables, these are: risk assessment, desire to set goals, search for new opportunities and self-confidence. It is suggested that although university students show a significant interest in entrepreneurship, they face important challenges that could inhibit the creation of new companies, which is why entrepreneurship support programs must be improved with the aim of strengthening entrepreneurial capabilities and thus reducing the barriers perceived by students
 
Research implications: A comprehensive approach that not only develops skills and knowledge but also addresses the barriers that students perceive as obstacles to entrepreneurship is crucial.
and give it economic value.
 
Originality/Value: The study contributes to the literature on entrepreneurial motivation factors in young students, which is evident in the results of this research.
In vitro antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and in silico molecular docking studies of Clerodendrum thomsoniae
Authors: Kar Pallab , Oriola Ayodeji O. , Oyedeji Adebola O.
Published: December 2024

Clerodendrum thomsoniae is a member of the Lamiaceae family and is found throughout Asia, Australia, Africa, and America. C. thomsoniae (CT), mostly utilized in the floriculture sector, is sometimes referred to as bleeding heart vine or bag flower due to its exquisite decorative qualities. Apart from its high value in the floriculture industry, the plant has been utilized in traditional Indian and Japanese medicine to treat a variety of ailments. There is a dearth of information on the biological properties of the plant and its putative ingredients. Therefore, this study evaluated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer potentials of the extract, as well as identified its phytocompounds. The antioxidant screening was based on nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl, and superoxide radical scavenging assays. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity of the extract was based on the egg albumin denaturation (EAD) assay, while the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell viability assay was used to determine its anti-cancer potential. The chemical composition of the extract was determined using the hyphenated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. Lastly, the identified phytocompounds were molecular docked against the inflammatory [NF-κβ (4DN5)] and cancer [mdm2 (3W69)] proteins. At 200 μg/mL, CT extract-treated Vero normal cells exhibited more viability (78.32±1.19%) than the one treated with the human renal adenocarcinoma (ACHN) cell line (33.45±0.66%), which suggests CT extract to be selectively cytotoxic to the cancer cells. The extract also demonstrated considerable inhibition of EAD (IC50=164.59±17.85 μg/mL). Thus, the observed anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties of CT extract may be attributed to its notable NO and H2O2 radicals scavenging activities, with IC50 values of 205.7±11.44 and 69.74±6.50 μg/mL respectively. GC-MS analysis of the extract revealed sixteen major compounds. In silico studies indicated α-tocopherol and stigmasterol as the most promising compounds, having exhibited the highest binding energy scores of -9.9 and -8.7 kcal/mol against NF-κβ (4DN5) and mdm2 (3W69) proteins respectively. In conclusion, C. thomsoniae leaf extract showed considerable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties, which may be attributed to its α-tocopherol and stigmasterol contents.

Authors: H. Abood Raghad , H. Hamad Ali
Published: December 2024

Accurate and rapid classification of diabetic retinopathy is critically significant in order to prevent vision loss. The advent of artificial intelligence introduces novel and potent methodologies for enhancing the classification of diabetic retinopathy as derived from medical imaging. Due to the large size of the model make it unsuitable in real world. This research paper is dedicated to the classification of diabetic retinopathy utilizing constrained resources while achieving elevated accuracy levels. We implemented weighted clustering technique within deep convolutional neural networks and transfer learning architectures: VGG 19, DenseNet 121, and EfficientNet B6. To mitigate the challenge posed by considerable model sizes without sacrificing accuracy, the best fit results were observed with EfficientNet-B6, where applying weighted clustering reduced the model size by a factor of 12 while maintaining high accuracy results of 92% for the APTOS-2019 data. This underscores the efficacy of employing lightweight techniques to enhance the practicality of extensive models for the early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy.

Objetivo: Avaliar a conformidade dos protocolos de profilaxia do HIV em recém-nascidos e a atuação da equipe interdisciplinar no acompanhamento clínico. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado em um Hospital de referência materno-infantil em Belém do Pará, abrangendo 87 recém-nascidos expostos ao HIV, nascidos entre outubro de 2023 e março de 2024. Foram coletados dados referentes à prescrição de antirretrovirais, adesão ao protocolo e orientações aos cuidadores, com análise estatística realizada através do software BioEstat 5.4. Resultados:  Descreveram que 85,1% dos esquemas profiláticos seguiam as diretrizes do Ministério da Saúde, e 19,5% exigiram intervenção junto as equipes médica e de enfermagem. Todos os pacientes receberam Zidovudina, e 79,3% receberam Lamivudina. Apesar disso, foi identificada uma taxa significativa de subnotificação de neonatos (36,8%) e uma preocupante lacuna na orientação farmacêutica, com 43,7% dos responsáveis sem receber as orientações adequadas. Conclusão: A importância da integração da equipe interdisciplinar e da educação farmacêutica para o sucesso da profilaxia do HIV. No entanto, as lacunas observadas na notificação e orientação sugerem a necessidade de melhorias nessas áreas para garantir a eficácia do tratamento e prevenção da transmissão vertical do HIV.

Conservation tillage is a practice that positively affects the soil's physicochemical and biological characteristics. The type of tillage influences the richness and diversity of the soil microbiota since organic matter favors specific genera that, in turn, can significantly impact crop productivity. The aim was to analyze the bacterial communities in soils subjected to conservation and intensive tillage practices in two experimental platforms with more than 25 years of being subjected to this type of cultivation practices. Five composite samples of soils subjected to different tillage methods were analyzed. The treatments were Treatment 1=IT-R, Treatment 2=RT+R, Treatment 3=ZT+R, Treatment 4=IT+R and Treatment 5=ZT+R, where IT= Intensive Tillage, CT= Conservation Tillage, RT= Reduced Tillage, ZT=Zero Tillage, with (+R) and without (-R) removal of plant residues. Metagenomic DNA was extracted and sequenced using the 16s rRNA gene. CT showed higher species diversity, while IT showed higher richness. A higher beta diversity was observed in CT. IT was grouped in the same phylum range, while CT was in a different range. CT treatments improved the physicochemical properties of the soil and modified the diversity of bacterial communities. It is evident that conservation practices substantially impact the soil microbiota and favor the presence of microorganisms with a high capacity to degrade plant matter, improving the physicochemical characteristics of agricultural soils.

The overuse of chemical fertilizers in agriculture is a major cause of subsurface water contamination and greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, cutting back on the use of chemical fertilizer is crucial without compromising on agricultural yield. In this context, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), compost, and biochar (BC) can offer a more affordable and sustainable option. We evaluated the effect of wheat derived biochar and municipal solid waste compost on spinach under 100% or 50% of the recommended fertilizers(RF), in the presence or absence of a PGPR i.e., Bacillus tropicus. Spinach was grown on a sandy clay loam soil in pots for 48 days. Biochar and compost were mixed at 1% (w: w basis) with soil in all possible combinations of 100% or 50% of the recommended fertilizers. Plants receiving 100% and 50% of recommended fertilizers served as control. Biochar and PGPR significantly increased shoot-root length, with the maximum increase of 42.14-43.51% where BC+PGPR under 50RF were added. Moreover, co-application of biochar with PGPR further increased the root biomass, with the maximum increase of 150% when biochar and PGPR were co-applied while sole application of biochar significantly increased the shoot biomass by 58.15% under 50RF regime. Co-application of BC and PGPR further increased soil nitrate content with the maximum increase of 107.72% found under 50% fertilizer regime. The ammonium content was significantly increased 278.18% and 757.14% when compost was applied alone under 100RF and 50RF regimes. Addition of compost increased the microbial biomass C by 61.06% and 156.87% under 100RF and 50RF regimes, respectively. Overall, all the three amendments improved plant production and/or soil health indicators. However, the improvement in soil health indicators translated significantly into higher spinach biomass only in co-applied biochar and Bacillus tropicus treatment. Our results indicate that biochar and PGPR worked in tandem. PGPR solubilized phosphorus presumably from biochar, whereas the latter provided suitable environment for growth of PGPR. We recommend that this combination can be used to partially replace chemical fertilizers to produce spinach.

Введение. Актуальность обсуждаемой проблемы определятся значительным вниманием к разработке педагогических условий, отсутствием единого подхода к их определению и значительным количеством работ, в которых понятие педагогических условий используется без должного методологического обоснования. Цель исследования - выделить признаки понятия педагогических условий, уточнить их природу и определить методологическую базу выделения комплекса педагогических условий. Материалы и методы . Использованы методы теоретические - анализ психолого-педагогической литературы и диссертационных исследований по проблеме выделения педагогических условий, обобщение и систематизация результатов исследований; эмпирические - анализ продуктов исследовательской деятельности педагогов, формулировка заключений о наличии методологических оснований выделения педагогических условий. Результаты. Проведен анализ и выполнена оценка существующих подходов к определению педагогических условий, уточнена их природа и методологические основания выделения комплекса педагогических условий, выделена закономерность их определения, уточнен деятельностный характер условий. Обсуждение. Новизна результатов исследования, представленных в статье, заключается в подтверждении правомерности и объективности исследования педагогических условий как предмета, цели и гипотезы научных исследований; доказано, что формулировка каждого условия и комплекса условий должны иметь предметную, целевую и функциональную направленность, деятельностную природу, дифференциацию на необходимые и достаточные условия. Заключение. Таким образом, исследование педагогических условий эффективности решения проблем образования в отношении того или иного предмета является объективной научной потребностью. Понятие педагогических условий должно рассматриваться на философском, общенаучном и конкретно-научном уровнях методологических оснований. Определение педагогических условиях должно рассматривать их как комплекс предпринимаемых действий для обеспечения эффективности процесса выполнения деятельности субъектов образования, существования, успешного функционирования и развития компонентов образования личности Основные положения: - рассмотрены представления ученых о понятии «условие»: - дана оценка диссертационных исследований на правомерность использования понятия «условия» в их теме, предмете и цели; - обоснована актуальность исследования условий решения проблем образования личности; - предложен авторский вариант определения понятия «педагогические условия»; - определена деятельностная природа педагогических условий и уточнено их место в структуре образовательного процесса; - для подтверждения выводов приведены примеры комплексов педусловий в решении проблем образования личности.
