The Concept of Power in Russian Conservatism and Liberalism (Based on the Works of L.A. Tikhomirov and B.P. Vysheslavtsev)*
Authors: Ilya Demin
Published: June 2022

The article provides comparative analysis of the two interpretations and methodological strategies of substantiating the idea of power, presented in the philosophical and political concepts of L.A. Tikhomirov and B.P. Vysheslavtsev. Both philosophers considered the concept of power in the general context of the Christian worldview and raised the question of the moral justification of power. In Tikhomirov’s concept power, where it is the primary fact of social life, it receives moral justification through service to God and the moral ideal of the nation. Power is justified to the extent that it is the power of the ideas, of ideocracy. In Vysheslavtsev’s political philosophy, on the contrary, the incompatibility of the ideocratic model of state power with the Christian doctrine of freedom is affirmed, and power receives relative justification insofar as it is sublimated and actually annihilated in law. Tikhomirov considered power as the primary and constitutive principle of social life which is not opposed to the idea of the independence of personal existence. Vysheslavtsev, on the other hand, saw the essence of power in heteronomous coercion, incompatible with the presumption of freedom and dignity of an individual. The incompatibility of the two interpretations of power is explained not only by the fact that Russian philosophers defined the scope of the concept of “power” in different ways, but also by the fact that they were guided by different philosophical and anthropological presumptions. Tikhomirov proceeded from the concept of man as a being striving not so much to rule over others but to submit to the supreme power of an idea, while Vysheslavtsev saw the primary and natural intention of the human self in the rebellion against heteronomous commanding order.

Empire as the Feat of Freedom: Evangelic Basis of Russian Imperial State System
Authors: Vitaliy Darenskiy
Published: June 2022

The article shows that Empire as type of statehood is part of the sacred history of mankind. The Lord incarnated and came to earth only when the Good news about this could already spread among the peoples, and not remain at the level of intra-tribal cult. The adequate understanding of the nature of imperial statehood was destroyed by the secular ideologies of Modern times. The Orthodox monarchy is the church formation of statehood. Imperial statehood, that created Russia and still remains its foundation, is a very important and powerful social institution that cultivates in the people those high moral qualities without which it cannot exist. The Empire as type of state is based on certain national character – not selfish and consumerist, but moral attitude towards one’s state. Imperial people are the people of heroic deeds and spiritual freedom, not of “comfort”. Therefore, the culture of freedom of the imperial people is the closest to the Christian one. The article shows the meaningful connection between the beatitudes given in the Sermon on the Mount and the principles of the imperial state.

The Colonial Elephant in the Room: Michael Parekōwhai’s The Lighthouse and Captain James Cook
Authors: O'Riley Alanna
Published: June 2022

Imperial rule has long been supported by the establishment of monuments. However, in our current climate of tumultuous politics and failing social systems, these monuments occupy increasingly shaky ground. Given a growing crusade against monumental statues the public silence on Michael Parekōwhai’s statue of Captain James Cook in The Lighthouse (Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, 2017) is deafening. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Captain James Cook is a familiar, albeit divisive, figure. To some, Cook is known as a British navigator, explorer, and cartographer; a founder of nations, friend to natives, with enlightened and scientific motivations. To indigenous communities, Cook was the thief, murderer, and kidnapper who knowingly spread disease when arriving in the Pacific with the intent to find ample land for the British Crown to colonise. This essay explores the significance of the statue of Cook within The Lighthouse, particularly in relation to the legacy of colonial monuments and memorialisation. In The Lighthouse, sculptor Michael Parekōwhai recasts Cook as a complex emblem of personal and collective identity, highlighting issues of place, legacy, and sovereignty. Parekōwhai revises the role of the colonial monument, reclaiming Cook as an instrument in the balancing of historical and national narratives.
Practicum - A space for leadership and mentoring
Authors: Dayman Tracy , Woolston Debbie
Published: June 2022

Associate teachers (AT) play a crucial role in supporting beginning teachers but there is little research that identifies the practicum as an opportunity for advancing ATs’ leadership capability. While research identifies mentoring as central to the way ATs support beginning teachers entering the profession, there is little explicit discussion of the leadership skills ATs engage in and model to student teachers during a practicum experience. Nor is there explicit acknowledgement of the AT role as a pathway to leadership for early childhood educators.

In this article we draw from a case study located in a provincial New Zealand town and a review of literature to demonstrate that practicum is largely overlooked as a space for early childhood teachers to develop and advance their leadership skills. We argue that mentoring and supervision of student teachers during practicum provides a rich opportunity for associate teachers to increase their own professional knowledge and expertise as leaders within early childhood.
Occurrence of community-acquired Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing and enterotoxin-producing methicillin-resistant staphylococci in companion dogs

In Nigeria, available data on drug-resistant bacterial infections that are caused by companion dogs are scarce. Hence the present study evaluated the occurrence of some community-acquired toxigenic methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) on companion dogs harboured in Nigerian homes, as a pointer to the extent of exposure of humans to these pathogens. Samples were collected from 70 healthy companion dogs during dry and rainy season periods by swabbing a 125 cm2 fur area on the lumbar and thoracic sites. Phenotypic tests, Kirby Bauer disc diffusion test and 16S rRNA gene analysis were used to identify presumptive colonies of staphylococci and MRS. Molecular methods were employed to detect Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) and prototypic enterotoxin B in MRS isolates. The counts of staphylococci on fur of companion dogs during the rainy season exceeded usual limits of bacteria (≤ 2.54 log10 CFU cm-2) on a healthy dog, thus, suggesting that companion dogs harboured in homes situated in Nigeria may be reservoirs of bacteria, especially during rainy season. The mean counts of staphylococci during the rainy season were estimated at 3.09 ± 2.78 log10 CFU cm-2 and 2.77 ± 2.43 log10 CFU cm-2 in Edo and Delta States, respectively. The main Staphylococcus species that were carried on fur of companion dogs included S. pseudintermedius, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. simulans and S. saprophyticus. Amongst the staphylococci, expression of methicillin and multidrug resistance was mainly exhibited by S. pseudintermedius and S. aureus, while enterotoxigenicity was mainly expressed by methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Enterotoxigenic S. aureus was carried on the fur of companion dogs during the rainy season at estimated prevalence of 8.57% in both Edo and Delta States, respectively; while PVL-producing S. aureus was estimated at 5.71% and 2.86%, with PVL-producing S. pseudintermedius estimated at 25.71% and 34.29%, respectively. The high prevalence of toxigenic-producing isolates seen on the fur of companion dogs, especially during rainy season, could pose a risk for humans, particularly those that harbour pet dogs at their homes.

SOCIAL RESTRICTIONS: MUJAHADAH AS A SPIRITUAL BRIDGE IN SUFISTIC ETHICS IN THE PANDEMIC ERA
Authors:   Universitas Islam Negeri Alauddin Makassar, Amri Muhammad , Ismail Ahmad La Ode ,   Universitas Islam Negeri Alauddin Makassar, Mosiba Risna ,   Universitas Islam Negeri Alauddin Makassar
Published: June 2022

This article discusses the social restrictions: mujahadah as a spiritual bridge in Sufistic ethics in the pandemic era. Some Muslim societies do not understand the Covid-19 pandemic, so they shut themselves and even refuse to make changes, especially in implementing worship. They believe in the loss of ethical aspects of religious teachings that they believe in because of trapped in fiqh-oriented dogmas and glued to jurisprudential texts so that they become exclusive and radical. Understanding and knowing human nature is a door to knowing oneself, life, the environment, nature, and God. If a man does not know himself, surely he will not know his God. Recognition and understanding of human nature require earnest mujahadah as a bridge for the establishment of religious qualities that balance esoteric and exoteric aspects. Humans are free social beings but limited by divine laws to maintain the authenticity of humanity. Social restrictions such as constitutional ijtihad that permeates the formal aspects of religion are a manifestation so that humans remain ihsan to themselves, others, and their environment. The Covid-19 pandemic is a love letter from God as the holy verses revealed to the Prophet Muhammad as a warning because humans have been separated from the cycling of other orbits, namely God and nature. Social restrictions as constitutional ijtihad are the right moment for humans to return to greet God, themselves, nature, and khuruj from a materialistic vision of life.

Measuring Concentration and Efficiency in Bosnia and Herzegovina Banking Sector using Dynamic Panel Model
Authors: Rebić Mladen , Paunović Slađana , Popović Borka
Published: June 2022

This paper seeks to examine the determinants of the profitability of the B&H banking sector, using an empirical framework that incorporates the traditional SCP - structure conduct-performance and ESX efficiency hypothesis. The main goal of this paper is to measure the level of concentration and investigate how concentration and other determinants influence the profitability of the banking sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the period from 2008 to 2017. We also tried to determine whether the profitability of the banking sector is more contributed by concentration, i.e. enlargement of the banking market (SCP) rather than increased efficiency of banking organization (ESX). For this purpose, we use a sample of 26 banks from B&H, and our empirical research is based on panel data analysis. The performance of the banking sector is measured by the conventional return on assets (ROA). Besides concentration as a main industry-specific factor, profitability determinants include bank-specific and macroeconomic profitability factors. Obtained results reveal that concentration has positive impacts on B&H banking profitability. But when we talk about competing concentration hypotheses, the paper results here generally support the ESX efficiency hypothesis rather than the traditional SCP approach. It was confirmed that credit risk, deposit risk and cost to income ratio from bank-specific variables, and GDP growth rate from macroeconomic variables have a statistically significant influence on banking performance.
Institutions and Foreign Direct Investment: What Role for Investment Policy in Southeast Europe?
Authors: Silajdzic Sabina , Mehic Eldin
Published: June 2022

Institutions are generally perceived as an important determinant of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Which institutions matter and why for FDI, remains however one of prominent questions in public policy debate amid complexities related to different institutional dimensions, and incomplete or even vague understanding of underlying mechanism(s) at work. In this paper we account for these ambiguities, and focus on institutions that reveal government efforts to design proper institutional and policy framework to attract FDI, as opposed to considering institutions in broader sense. Specifically, we contribute to FDI policy debate by analysing the impact of institutions measuring Investment policy and promotion on inward FDI flows in South East Europe (SEE). To this end we use a unique dataset that is comprised of specific, FDI related institutional indicators developed and published by the OECD. The results of this empirical investigation deeper our understanding on whether differences in FDI policies and institutional set-up across South East European (SEE) countries explain variations in inward FDI flows relaying on bilateral FDI flows and the gravity modelling technique. We bring novel evidence that investment policy efforts seemingly do pay off, highlighting the importance of progress and reforms embodied not only in FDI regulation, but also in FDI policy variables including FDI Promotion and Facilitation, Transparency, Privatisation policy and Public Private Partnership in attracting FDI in SEE. The analysed institutional effect properly accounts for the possible time-variant and context-dependant effect of institutions. The suggested importance of FDI policy variables seem valuable in terms of general FDI policy issues and trade-offs.
Economic and Political Drivers of Remittance Transfer
Authors: Alshammari Nayef , Faras Reyadh , Alshuwaiee Wael
Published: June 2022

This paper explores the political and economic determinants of remittance transfers by foreign workers in hosting countries with an application to the case of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Our empirical model is estimated with the fixed-effects technique applied on annual data covering the period 1996-2019. The main result confirms that both the economic and political stability do matter to remittance transfers. First, our findings suggest that higher per capita growth across the GCC region tends to discourage remittance transfers. Second, we find a statistically significant and positive relationship between oil prices and remittance transfers. Third, our findings show that political stability across the host countries can shape remittances. Put it simply, higher political stability tends to induce lower remittance outflows. While conventional findings on importance of economic factors for remittances are confirmed, this research signifies that any change in political stability across the GCC might affect decisions made by foreign workers. This finding has general implications for similar regions throughout the world suggesting that political stability has a strong effect on the flow of remittances.

Modelling Determinants of Inflation in CESEE Countries: Global Vector Autoregressive Approach
Authors: Jakšić Saša
Published: June 2022

After a prolonged period of relatively stable price levels, the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century has brought inflation once again into the spotlight. This paper focuses on the inflation dynamics in a set of post-communist countries that eventually became members of the European Union. Due to EU accession augmented by the globalization process and involvement in global value chains (GVC), the international impacts are becoming progressively important for the domestic inflation dynamics and domestic variables are not sufficient to fully describe the domestic inflation dynamics. The employed methodology, Global Vector Autoregressive (GVAR) approach, allows modelling interactions and spillovers among countries, making the most of its advantages over the usual VAR models that model each economy separately and panel models, where countries are often treated as independent units. The results of the empirical analysis confirm that the globalisation process has led to increasing the importance of international impacts on the domestic inflation dynamics. On the other hand, the results also indicate that accounting for a larger set of countries decreases the severity of the commodity price shocks and makes them less persistent. Furthermore, monetary policy acts as a buffer against adverse shocks, especially in the countries that are still not members of the euro-zone. The findings of the paper show that the analysed countries are pronouncedly heterogeneous. Hence, each of the analysed economies has its own set of country-specific factors which, from country to country, play a more important or a less significant role in explaining national inflation dynamics. Thus, the paper should contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the inflation dynamics in the policy-making context.
The interpretation module in the framework of the cognitive-discursive model of diachronic plurality in the translation of Shakespeare’s plays
Authors: Boiko Yana
Published: June 2022

The article offers procedures for the linguistic and cognitive modelling of diachronic plurality in the translation of Shakespeare’s plays. Cognitive-discursive analysis is provided to reveal different interpretations of Shakespeare’s ideas embodied in chronologically distant retranslations produced by Ukrainian translators in different historical periods, namely, by Panteleimon Kulish at the end of the 19th century, Leonid Hrebinka in the 1930s, and Yurii Andrukhovych at the beginning of the 21st century. The research proposes the interpretation module as a component part of the cognitive-discursive model of diachronic plurality in translation, presented as a two-component structure consisting of invariant components such as genre, characters and plot, and variant components including historically different social and cultural contexts of Ukrainian retranslations, different literary styles of the corresponding epochs, and translators’ creative personalities. The research postulates the idea that the linguistic and cognitive modelling procedure of the interpretation module is an effective tool in reconstructing the conceptual content of Shakespeare’s plays in chronologically distant Ukrainian retranslations.
APPLICATION OF INNOVATIVE ANALYSIS TOOLS TO ASSESS THE QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY OF STORAGE OF SMOKED EXTRUDED FUNCTIONAL PRODUCTS
Authors:   Bunin Yelets State University, Shubkin S.Yu.
Published: June 2022

The article presents the results of the study of the process of smoking extruded products by vacu-um saturation with vapors of spicy-smoky flavors. The proposed solution makes it possible to in-crease the environmental friendliness and controllability of the smoking process, to obtain or-ganoleptically attractive products with increased shelf life, which seems relevant for the science and practice of smoking. In the course of laboratory studies, the effectiveness of saturation of ex-truded meat loaves with pairs of spicy-smoky ingredients was evaluated by identifying the pres-ence of aromatic components in them that block the growth of microorganisms. To determine the nature of the changes occurring with smoked extruded loaves during storage, highly sensitive de-tection was carried out using a gas analyzer with the "electronic nose" methodology. It has been established that the samples obtained by the technology of vacuum vapor saturation with spicy-smoky flavors have more stable indicators during storage and deteriorate under the same condi-tions less intensively than the samples smoked in the traditional way.

The study of species diversity and the state of grassy ground cover in the station territories of 5 cities of the Murmansk region (Murmansk, Apatity, Olenegorsk, Polyarnye Zori, Kandalaksha) have been carried out. It has shown that the floristic composition of herbaceous plants was monot-onous, poor and was represented by species characterized by a wide range of ecological tolerance. Common species found in all cities were Taraxacum officinale Taraxacum officinale Wigg. s. l., Trifolium repens L., Achillea millefolium L., Equisetum arvense L., E. Palustre L., Rumex confer-tus L. and cereals (Dactylis glomerata L., Deschampsia cespitosa (L)., Festuca rubra L., Festuca pratensis Huds., Poa annua L., Poa pratensis L., Phleum pratense L.). The greatest species diver-sity was found in Apatity and Polyarnye Zori. The plant state was satisfactory, no pests and dis-eases were found, no damage in the form of necrotic spots was noted. Of the ornamental flower plants, 20 species were found, Aconite firmum Reichenb., Primula elatior (L.) Hill var. tatrica Domin, Primula amoena Bieb. were widely distributed. The analysis of the projective cover of herbaceous vegetation showed the presence of a different number of areas with disturbed ground cover. The highest percentage of wastelands (56%, due to trampling and other types of anthropo-genic impact) was found in Olenegorsk, the least – in Kandalaksha (84%).

The purpose of the study is to identify the possibility of using the sensorimotor method for modeling variable situations of the use of physical force by police officers and organizing the level structure of the sequential use of variable situations for training cadets and students of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The scientific novelty lies in identifying the effectiveness of sensorimotor method in situational training of police patrol officers, which makes it possible to rank simulated situations of the use of physical force, including combat techniques of struggle by levels of complexity, and thereby realizing the didactic principle of consistency and accessibility of learning educational material. As a result, the effectiveness of the use of the developed sensorimotor method for teaching police patrol officers to use the physical method was proved.
Density Functional Theory Study on the Insertion Reaction Mechanism of Methylidyne with Ethanol
Authors: Nghia Nguyen Trong
Published: June 2022

CH and C2H5OH are important species in the combustion system. The reaction mechanism between CH and C2H5OH was elucidated at the CCSD(T)//BHandHLYP/6-311+G(3df, 2p) level of theory. The results of quantum chemistry calculation showed that the CH free radical preferentially inserted the O-H and C-H bonds of CH2 and CH3 groups in the C2H5OH molecule. Meanwhile, the insertion of the CH radical into C-O and C-C bonds are much more difficult due to the high energy barriers. The main products of the reaction are: CH3CHCH2 + OH, CH3C(OH)CH2 + H, CH3CHO + CH3, CH3COCH3 + H, C2H4 + CH3O, CH2O + CH3CH2 and C2H4 + CH2OH. The geometries of the species and the heats of reaction at 0 K are in good agreement with the available experimental results. These results can provide guidance for future experimental work.
Desacuerdo y (des)cortesía en hablantes españoles e ingleses: un análisis de variación pragmática
Authors: Fernández García Francisco
Published: June 2022

Tras plantear el marco de trabajo investigador en torno a la variación cultural, social y situacional de la (des)cortesía, se ofrece una breve caracterización del acto de habla de desacuerdo. Se presenta, a continuación, la muestra de análisis sobre la que se trabaja y se aclaran ciertos aspectos metodológicos. Y, a partir de ahí, se aborda el análisis contrastivo del comportamiento de hablantes españoles e ingleses al enfrentarse a sendas situaciones de desacuerdo en tres escenarios diferentes. Después de distinguir entre quienes deciden expresar su desacuerdo y quienes no lo hacen, se analiza, dentro de los primeros, quienes lo hacen de manera mitigada, abierta o potenciada. Se alcanzan resultados en torno a una caracterización cultural diferenciada, a su variación interna y a ciertos  patrones de comportamiento estables interculturalmente. Se aborda, además, la caracterización del acto de habla de desacuerdo respecto de la (des)cortesía.
Coloquialidad en el aula y percepción del estilo de enseñanza del docente universitario: varios estudios de caso
Authors: García Cardona Juan , Checa García Irene
Published: June 2022

Aunque tradicionalmente la clase universitaria se ha considerado una situación comunicativa formal, el grado de coloquialidad del registro seguido por el docente en el aula podría variar en distintos aspectos. Este estudio se plantea observar el impacto que produce en el alumno esta elección de estilo. Para medir el grado de coloquialidad empleado por cada docente universitario hemos escogido diez rasgos morfosintácticos y léxicos señalados por la literatura como característicos de registros más informales en situaciones comunicativas menos tensas. Se analizó la frecuencia de cada uno en clases grabadas de cuatro docentes. Estudiamos después la coaparición de estos rasgos con las opiniones acerca de los profesores y su estilo docente en cinco parámetros: respeto, interactividad, facilidad de seguimiento, cercanía y monotonía, mediante un cuestionario suministrado a 255 estudiantes que formaban parte de estas clases. Se ha detectado cierta influencia del estilo del profesor en la percepción del alumnado, según la cual el profesor más coloquial es considerado más cercano, más interactivo y más fácil de atender, mientras que se ha considerado menos monótono, si bien en el presente estudio no consideramos los rasgos morfosintácticos y léxicos analizados como los únicos que han potencialmente influido en esta percepción.
El descubrimiento de un estereotipo clásico a través del discurso oral de un personaje con discapacidad: El caso de Cata en "3 bodas de más"
Authors: Sanz-Simón Laura
Published: June 2022

La oralidad puede proporcionar mucha información útil sobre nuestra forma de ser. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación es comprobar si el discurso oral de un personaje cinematográfico con discapacidad aporta suficientes datos para revelar su personalidad y clasificarlo como un Vengador Obsesivo (un viejo estereotipo vinculado a la discapacidad física en el cine desde sus inicios). Con este propósito, se ha recopilado e interpretado cada aspecto relativo a la comunicación verbal y la paralingüística del personaje seleccionado (Cata, 3 bodas de más) en función de su significación pragmática. Los resultados muestran que todas las cualidades del personaje son negativas excepto una; y todas estas características negativas definen perfectamente la figura del Vengador Obsesivo.

Objectives:

Anchorage preservation is crucial in orthodontic treatment success. Mini-implants make a revolution in this domain. The failure of orthodontic mini-implants due to inflammation and infection is one of the reasons for anchorage loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a novel mini-implant surface modification to improve resistance against microbial contamination and surrounding tissue inflammation.

Material and Methods:

Twenty-four orthodontic mini-implants (Jeil Medical Corporation, Korea) with 1.6 mm diameter and 8 mm length were randomly divided into three groups: Group 1: Control group, Group 2: Nanotubes were made on the surface with anodisation, and Group 3: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) doped into nanotubes, and then doxycycline is added to them. The anti-bacterial efficacy against Porphyromonas gingivalis was evaluated using the disk diffusion method. To analyze data, Kruskal–Wallis, Friedman, and Wilcoxon tests were done. The significance level was set at 0.05.

Results:

No zone of the inhibition was formed in Groups 1 and 2. In Group 3, the mean (SD) diameter of the inhibition zone in the first 5-day to sixth 5-day were 38.7(8.2), 25(4.8), 17.8(5.6), 7.63(5.37), 1.5(2.83), and 0 millimeters, respectively.

Conclusion:

Nanotubes containing doped ZnO and Doxycycline are capable of preventing bacterial growth around the mini implant surfaces for at least up to 30 days. To manage inflammation of surrounding tissues of mini-implants, nanotubes are not effective alone. Therefore, the presence of diffusible materials in addition to nanotubes on the surface of mini-implants is necessary.
