Masculinity and femininity
Authors: Hristova Gergana Nikolova
Published: April 2024

The article examines the different interpretations of masculinity and femininity within the contexts of sociology, cultural studies, and psychology. In sociology, gender roles are considered to be socially constructed and variable, with feminist studies emphasizing the social construction of femininity in the context of gender inequality. In cultural studies, Hofstede views masculinity and femininity as cultural dimensions that influence societal attitudes and behavior. Overall, gender is interpreted as a complex of biological, social, and psychological aspects, which are expressed on a continuum and are often subject to social and cultural reconstruction. In psychology, these characteristics are associated with social and behavioral aspects, rather than with biological sex alone. Gender schema theory highlights that individuals can exhibit both masculine and feminine traits. Psychoanalysis introduces concepts of gender identity and the role of parents in the gender socialization of children.
The Postmodern Challenges in Chuck Palahniuk’s Prose
Authors: Korjuhina Jekaterina
Published: April 2024

Today, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Chuck Palahniuk is recognized as a literary genius, a hero for the generation of nihilists. Among the epithets used are: "king of countercultural prose", author of fascinating anti-social novels, cult author and a number of others. In this article, I comment on the profound connection between his philosophically insightful and abstract prose and the postmodern challenges that together lead him to reveal the deepest vices of the crisis-ridden contemporary American society. Palahniuk's postmodernism presents a generalized expression of modern man's disgust with the consumer society of crimes and injustices. He sees a way out only in individual anarchist rebellion, which rests on the denial of all false values.
La reconfiguración de las identidades y las relaciones de los sujetos eclesiales en una Iglesia Pueblo de Dios
Authors: Luciani Rafael
Published: April 2024

Este artículo profundiza en la recepción y maduración del carácter orgánico de la eclesiología del Pueblo de Dios. Destaca la igualdad de todos los christifideles enraizada en la dignidad bautismal, al tiempo que reconoce las diferencias funcionales en un marco de corresponsabilidad diferenciada. El sacramento fundacional del bautismo se destaca como elemento clave que fomenta las relaciones de mutua completitud (AA 6) entre todos los fieles. La dignidad bautismal se concibe como el carácter común y la condición compartida para reconfigurar la identidad de todos los christifideles y sus dinámicas relacionales, incorporando la igualdad de derechos y deberes para todos. Del Vaticano II surgió una figura y forma distintiva de la Iglesia, que expresa el vínculo orgánico y permanente de todos los fieles por necesidad recíproca, superando así una comprensión piramidal y clerical de la Iglesia. El artículo pretende contribuir a la comprensión y a las implicaciones de la categoría de christifideles en el estado actual de la recepción de la eclesiología del Concilio Vaticano II y, a la luz de la sinodalidad, haciendo hincapié en sus repercusiones para la renovación y reconfiguración de las identidades y las relaciones de todos los sujetos eclesiales en una Iglesia Pueblo de Dios.

Assessment of the quality of life by correctional officers
Authors: Сперанская А.В.
Published: April 2024

В статье рассматривается оценка качества жизни как показатель психологического благополучия. Качество жизни с психологической точки зрения подразумевает восприятие человеком своего положения в жизни через призму личностных структур: ценностные ориентации, потребности, чувства, мотивы деятельности. Отмечается, что на оценку качества жизни особое влияние оказывает трудовая деятельность, поскольку она занимает значительную часть жизни взрослого человека. Представлены результаты исследования оценки качества жизни сотрудниками различных подразделений исправительного учреждения. Установлено преобладание высоких и средних уровней выраженности по каждой шкале методики ВОЗКЖ-100, что позволяет судить о психологическом благополучии сотрудников исправительного учреждения.

The article considers assessment of the quality of life as an indicator of psychological well-being. The quality of life from a psychological point of view implies persons’ perception of their position in life through the prism of personal structures: value orientations, needs, feelings, and motives. Assessment of the quality of life is particularly influenced by work, since it occupies a significant part of an adult’s life. The article presents results of the study assessing the quality of life by employees of various departments of the correctional institution. The predominance of high and medium levels of severity on each scale of the WHO Quality of Life-100 methodology is established, which allows us to assess the psychological well-being of correctional facility staff

Authors: Печерский В.А.
Published: April 2024

В статье на основе впервые вводимых в научный оборот источников рассматривается состояние тюрем в Красноярском крае в послевоенный период. Показано количество заключенных в шести тюрьмах края в различные временные промежутки, проанализированы причины превышения их лимита. В частности, из-за бюрократических проволочек осужденные долгое время не переводились из тюрем в лагеря и колонии, в результате чего спецконтингента в тюрьмах становилось слишком много, в нарушение закона заключенные оказывались в одних камерах с подследственными. Немалое количество узников со- держалось в тюрьмах незаконно, вследствие ошибок милиционеров, прокуроров и судей. В разоренной войной стране заключенным не хватало пищи и постельных принадлежностей, наблюдался произвол охраны

In a war-ravaged country, prisoners lacked food and bedding, employees of security units abused discretion
Ontological meaning of patriotism
Authors: Оботурова Н.С.
Published: April 2024

В статье осуществлен анализ патриотизма как особого феномена со своей структурой, специфическими способами проявления и развития. Патриотизм рассмотрен в единстве и взаимосвязи естественной, гражданской и духовной форм, как процесс интеграции естественной любви человека к родине как к определенному месту и времени, в которых он родился и вырос, через рефлексию, или духовное опосредствование, в гражданскую форму, реализующуюся в общественной солидарности и деятельной любви к Отечеству, и духовную форму, основанную на признании объективного достоинства и совершенства Родины и отождествлении своей судьбы с духовной судьбой своего народа. Выявлено значение патриотизма как онтологической основы формирования социального единства, показано, что для современной России осмысление патриотизма, ориентированное на классическую философскую традицию, является важным условием обоснования актуальных форм консолидации общества и разработки стратегий его позитивного развития

The article analyzes patriotism as a special phenomenon with its own structure, specific ways of manifestation and development. Patriotism is considered in the unity and interrelation of natural, civil and spiritual forms, as a process of integrating a person’s natural love for the motherland as a certain place and time in which he/she was born and grew up, through reflection, or spiritual mediation, into a civil form realized in social solidarity and active love for the fatherland, and a spiritual form, based on the recognition of the objective dignity and perfection of the motherland and the identification of one’s fate with the spiritual fate of one’s people. The importance of patriotism as an ontological basis for the formation of social unity is revealed. It is shown that for modern Russia, understanding of patriotism, focused on the classical philosophical tradition, is an important condition for substantiating actual forms of consolidation of modern Russian society and developing strategies for its positive development

Published: April 2024

Introduction: In Indonesia, regulations have been issued that guarantee certainty over land in Indonesia, one of which is Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Law, which was subsequently derived using Government Regulation Number 10 of 1961 concerning Land Registration and replaced by Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration, Foreign nationals who have an interest in investing in Indonesia do not have a few lease agreements to lease land, especially in Bali, lease agreements in general regulations are regulated in Article 1548 of the Civil Code but because the lease period in Indonesia is not specifically regulated, So there is often a legal smuggling where a lease agreement has a long term, even indicating a lease for life. Therefore, the importance of legal certainty regarding the lease period is regulated in a law and regulation, so that in determining the period in the lease agreement still has a propriety and fairness in its implementation. Purposes of the Research: namely regarding the time limit for leasing for foreigners on land in Indonesia which needs a special regulation that is clearer and more detailed.Methods of the Research: The research method in this writing uses normative juridical legal research with a statutory approach, legal concept approach and case approach. In this thesis, the author discusses two legal issues related to legal certainty of lease time limits on freehold land in Indonesia for Foreign Nationals and legal consequences arising from the blurring of legal norms regarding arrangements related to lease time limits for freehold land in Indonesia.Results of the Research: The results showed that in terms of determining legal certainty related to the lease period for now, we can look for determining indicators regarding time limits. The consequences that arise when a lease agreement has a time limit that indicates a live well lease is a Non-Existent legal act.

Authors: SantoshKumar  , Niveditha M Madinur  , Sharanabasava Patil
Published: April 2024

Pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction generate large quantities of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Recycling into new asphalt paving mixtures is the predominant application. The RAP contains aggregates coated with bitumen. Recently utilization of RAP in asphalt mixes has been gaining worldwide popularity. Use of RAP in asphalt mixes can reduce cost of materials (aggregates and bitumen), conserve aggregates and asphalt, save environment, and can solve problem of solid waste disposal. The present study is used to design and evaluate the performance of bitumen mix with 2 different percentage of RAP. The preliminary laboratory tests were conducted to check the quality of aggregate, bitumen and RAP. The use of different percentage of RAP (i.e. 0%, 40% and 50%) for Bituminous concrete (BC) were designed as per specifications of Ministry of Road Transportation and Highway (MoRTH). The Marshall Mix design method was utilized to design mix with different percentages of RAP. The moisture damage potential of different mixes was determined in the laboratory by estimating retained indirect tensile strength also called tensile strength ratio (TSR). The test was conducted by applying a compressive load at a rate of 50.8 mm/min and their TSR values were determined. Furthermore, the rutting performance of different types of mixes was determined in the laboratory using flow time test. The results indicate that addition of RAP increases rutting resistance. This study would be helpful for highways engineers to utilize RAP for construction of sustainable highways in India.

El trasplante de hígado es el tratamiento de elección para una persona con enfermedad hepática terminal. La atresia biliar es la enfermedad con mayor prevalencia en niños. El cuidado dental es indispensable para el receptor del trasplante. Ese proceso evita infecciones y complicaciones. Objetivo: Informar sobre el tratamiento odontológico y su relevancia en la programación del trasplante hepático pediátrico. Reporte de caso: Niño de cinco años con atresia biliar en programación para trasplante hepático y con indicación de tratamiento odontológico antes de la cirugía. Durante la exploración bucal se observaron focos infecciosos orales. Así pues, se planificaron procedimientos que incluían profilaxis dental, restauraciones dentales con cemento de ionómero de vidrio y extracciones dentales. Para evitar eventos hemorrágicos en las cirugías, se utilizó una pasta hemostática compuesta por dos tabletas de ácido tranexámico de 250 mg, maceradas y mezcladas con 1/3 de anestésico con un vasoconstrictor. Todos los procedimientos dentales incluyeron el manejo conductual del niño. Conclusión: La atención odontológica a los niños sometidos a trasplante hepático tiene como objetivo eliminar los focos de infección y orientar a los padres sobre la importancia de la higiene bucal en todas las fases del proceso. El conocimiento de la enfermedad hepática permite al odontólogo elegir el tratamiento odontológico idóneo y, en el caso de los niños, el manejo comportamental es indispensable para el éxito del tratamiento.

Biofuels are one of the renewable fuels needed to replace fossil fuels. Making biofuels requires an acid/base catalyst to speed up the reaction, one of which is esterification. This study aimed to produce sulfonated carbon from coconut shells and water hyacinth, which was carbonized at 300 °C for 6 h. It was reacted with 96 % sulfuric acid at 150 °C with variations in sulfonation times and variations in sulfonation cycles. The highest acid concentration catalyst results were obtained on water hyacinth raw materials at 1.2 mmol/g and coconut shells at 1.215 mmol/g. The more sulfonation cycles will increase the acid concentration value. The value of the catalyst activity test in the esterification reaction of the water hyacinth catalyst can convert Free Fatty Acid (FFA) better than the coconut shell catalyst. Conversion of esters in the esterification process is 75.28 % in the water hyacinth catalyst and 57.62 % in the coconut shell catalyst. The coconut shell and water hyacinth catalysts were sulfonated in the presence of Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) absorption spectra at wave numbers 1,035.77 cm–1 for the coconut catalyst and 1,033.85 cm–1 for the water hyacinth catalyst, which is a strong S=O group. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis results indicate that the carbon sulfonate acid catalyst is amorphous. The constant kinetics of the water hyacinth catalyst reaction is 0.0139 L/mol.h, while for the coconut shell catalyst, it is 0.0045 L/mol.h. Coconut shell and water hyacinth raw materials can be used as heterogeneous acid catalysts after sulfonation.

Fundamentals of the methodology of political economy in the USSR in the 1950
Authors: Osin R.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the remarks of I.V. Stalin on the draft textbook of political economy in 1950. The remarks concerned both the methodology of presenting the material and the subject of political economy, the principle of historicism in presenting the material, taking into account the socio-economic conditions that have changed since the time of Marx. These remarks seriously influenced the All–Union discussion organized by the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks in November – December 1951.

Authors: Celis Estrada Diego Javier
Published: April 2024

Lo más destacado:

Profundiza en el sistema defensivo costero del siglo XIX en el virreinato del Perú, incluyendo la estrategia militar, la adaptación al territorio y las amenazas potenciales.
Resalta la importancia del reconocimiento y preservación del patrimonio militar virreinal del país al ofrecer información sobre la arquitectura, las técnicas de construcción y las estrategias militares de la época.
Emplea la fotogrametría y el sistema de información geográfica (SIG) para lograr una visión minuciosa de la arquitectura, la planificación y la adaptación al territorio de estas estructuras defensivas.

Resumen:
El virreinato del Perú, pieza fundamental en el Imperio Español, se caracterizó por su capital, Lima, y el estratégico puerto del Callao. A pesar de la presencia de la Fortaleza del Real Felipe en el Callao, el territorio enfrentó numerosas amenazas extranjeras. Esta investigación explora los planes defensivos del virreinato desde los primeros ataques piratas en el siglo XVII hasta las amenazas británicas del siglo XIX, con énfasis en el papel del virrey Abascal en la defensa contra movimientos independentistas y ataques enemigos desde Buenos Aires. La estrategia del virrey Abascal se centró en fortalecer las defensas militares en Lima, el Callao y proteger la costa peruana, dando lugar a la construcción de las baterías de costa en la playa La Chira. Estas baterías constituyen un testimonio invaluable de la arquitectura militar virreinal. La investigación no solo contribuye al reconocimiento de estas estructuras como parte del patrimonio histórico, sino que también proporciona una comprensión de la historia y la identidad cultural de la región. El estudio busca enriquecer la comprensión del sistema defensivo costero del siglo XIX empleando herramientas avanzadas como fotogrametría y sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) para analizar la arquitectura y planificación de las baterías, así como evaluar su estado actual. Este estudio invita a la comunidad académica a explorar a fondo estas baterías de costa e insta a las autoridades culturales a actuar para preservarlas y reconocerlas oficialmente como parte integral del patrimonio del Perú. La falta de acción no solo arriesga la pérdida de estas estructuras históricas, sino también priva al país de una comprensión más completa de su pasado. La preocupación sobre el estado de conservación es apremiante, ya que, a pesar de resistir las inclemencias del tiempo durante dos siglos, su deterioro se ha acelerado por la intervención humana.

Objectives: Dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular events are highly prevalent in Pakistan, which could be attributed to a lack of education, poverty, unhealthy dietary habits, and the absence of local guidelines. Our main goal was to develop a comprehensive comparison of the existing international dyslipidemia guidelines, highlighting the different nutritional recommendations proposed by each. A secondary objective was to establish local food sources beneficial for dyslipidemia coexistent with other morbidities. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of three databases Pubmed, Scopus, and International Guidelines Library to acquire guidelines for the management of dyslipidemia. The guidelines fulfilling the criteria of the Clinical Practice Guidelines developed by the Institute of Medicine in 2011 were selected for data extraction and their quality was assessed by the Mini-Checklist (MiChe) tool. Using the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate, a modified MyPlate describing portion of each macronutrient was established. Dietary recommendations for dyslipidemia and other comorbidity conditions were developed based on the review of guidelines and data from randomized control trials. Results: A total of 23 guidelines were selected based on our inclusion criteria. Final guidelines presented dietary patterns beneficial for the management of dyslipidemia, which differed due to the availability and cost-effectiveness of nutritional sources in Pakistan. After developing a modified MyPlate better suited to the dietary intakes of the population of Pakistan, nutritional recommendations for dyslipidemia with other comorbids were developed using local sources suggested by practicing dietitians. Conclusions: Dietary modification is the cornerstone of managing dyslipidemia. Due to Pakistan’s unique dietary patterns and the economic condition, a multidisciplinary approach with physicians and dietitians is required to develop easily applicable dietary regimes for dyslipidemia.
Factors Influencing Real-World Use of the More-Affected Upper Limb After Stroke: A Scoping Review

Published: April 2024

Importance: Current interventions are limited in improving use of the more-affected upper limb in real-world daily occupations and functional independence poststroke. A comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing real-world upper limb use is required to develop interventions to improve functional independence poststroke.

Objective: To systematically review the factors that influence real-world use of the more-affected upper limb poststroke.

Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database for English-language articles from 2012 to 2023.

Study Selection and Data Collection: Of 774 studies, we included 33 studies that had participants at least age 18 yr who exhibited upper limb impairments poststroke, objectively measured real-world upper limb use using a movement sensor, and measured factors affecting upper limb use. Two reviewers independently screened the abstracts.

Findings: The results were categorized by International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health domains. Prominent factors were upper limb impairment; motor ability; functional independence; task type; hand dominance; stroke-related factors, including time since stroke; and perception of use of the more-affected upper limb.

Conclusions and Relevance: Existing interventions primarily focus on upper limb impairments and motor ability. Our findings suggest that interventions should also incorporate other factors: task type (unilateral vs. bilateral), hand dominance, self-efficacy, and perception of more-affected limb use as active ingredients in improving real-world use of the more-affected upper limb poststroke. We also provide recommendations to use behavioral activation theory in designing an occupation-focused intervention to augment self-efficacy and confidence in use of the more-affected upper limb in daily occupations.

Plain-Language Summary: In order to develop interventions to improve functional independence poststroke, occupational therapy practitioners must have a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence real-world more-affected upper limb use. The study findings provide a set of distinct factors that practitioners can target separately or in combination to improve real-world use of the more-affected upper limb poststroke.
Examining differences in teachers’ agricultural mechanics professional development needs: A national study
Authors: Wells Trent , Hainline Mark
Published: April 2024

Agriculture teachers need knowledge and skills in a range of agricultural mechanics topics, such as metal fabrication and power mechanics. Teacher professional development (PD) is one method for improving teacher competence. Both Sorensen et al. (2014) and Yopp et al. (2020) reported differences in teachers’ PD needs based on years of teaching experience. Could their findings be consistent on a national level? Moreover, do other teacher demographic factors such as teacher certification route and career phase yield differences in teachers’ agricultural mechanics PD needs? Using human capital theory as our guiding framework, the purpose of our study was to examine potential differences in teachers’ agricultural mechanics PD needs based on selected teacher demographic factors. We employed Borich’s (1980) needs assessment model to structure our study. Further, we used a valid and reliable 72-item instrument and followed Dillman et al.’s (2014) recommendations to collect data from a random sample of teachers from across the United States. One hundred teachers responded to our instrument, yielding a response rate of 27.5%. We found that: (1) there were no statistically significant difference in teachers’ agricultural mechanics PD needs based on teacher certification route and (2) there were statistically significant differences in teachers’ agricultural mechanics PD needs based on career phase. We recommend that Agricultural Education stakeholders facilitate career phase-differentiated PD opportunities for teachers. Doing so will help to positively impact the teacher competence development process for those who most need it.
