RESIDÊNCIA DO SENHOR ANTÔNIO: HABITAÇÃO DE TAIPA E BARRO, LUGARES DE MEMÓRIA E MEMÓRIA DE LUGARES
Authors: Oliveira Cícero Ney , Mega Orestes Jayme
Published: January 2025

A noção de patrimônio edificado mais difundida no Brasil é representada pelos grandes casarões e estabelecimentos elitistas que remontam às épocas colonial e imperial e, em alguns casos, até mesmo a projetos do início do século XX. Logo, a legitimação desta noção de patrimônio interfere no processo de autoafirmação dos indivíduos, apresentando-se como instrumento de afirmação de um projeto de poder, ao mesmo tempo que obscurece e silencia a memória de outros segmentos sociais.  Neste artigo, trabalhamos com a história oral segundo o conceito de Michael Pollak que, ao dar voz às “memórias subterrâneas” faz com que grupos subalternos possam ser ouvidos e terem suas memórias preservadas. O artigo parte dos dados obtidos junto à comunidade Barreiro do Café, localizada na área rural do município de São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí. Tais dados, oriundos de uma pesquisa que se localiza na interface entre a Arqueologia e a História, demonstram a necessidade de ampliação da noção de patrimônio para que agregue a memória de grupos subalternos do semiárido nordestino que são representativos da memória regional e que costumam ser esquecidos.
PLANTAS EXÓTICAS, POPULAÇÕES NATIVAS: HUMANOS E NÃO HUMANOS NA PAISAGEM DE UMA UC DE PROTEÇÃO INTEGRAL
Authors: Fernandez Annelise Caetano Fraga , Oliveira Rogério Ribeiro de , Dias Marcia Cristina de Oliveira
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo descreve a paisagem agrícola e florestal de uma  unidade de conservação de proteção integral -  o Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca-,  levando em conta as disputas territoriais que se estabelecem entre espaços de produção e de conservação da natureza.  Nossa intenção é fornecer novos referenciais de interpretação da paisagem a partir de princípios socioambientais e da agrobiodiversidade que resgatam o papel do manejo humano sobre a natureza, na domesticação de plantas e animais e para a produção de variedade das espécies. O reconhecimento dos processos de co-evolução das sociedades humanas com o meio natural nos oferece um convite à colaboração interdisciplinar e a superação de fronteiras antes rigidamente estabelecidas entre as ciências naturais e as ciências humanas. Permite também a construção de um plano mais horizontal de relacionamento entre a produção do conhecimento científico aquele produzido pelas populações locais. Defendemos que embora existam critérios objetivos para a classificação de humanos e não humanos que podem ou não permanecer em UCs, em ambos os casos, princípios jurídicos e ecológicos devem considerar a historicidade da paisagem, assim como valores, práticas e conhecimentos locais que "tornam nativos" plantas, homens e animais.
POVOS INDÍGENAS, DESENVOLVIMENTO E CONFLITOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS: APANIEKRÁ E RAMKOKAMEKRA-CANELA, PODER TUTELAR E AGRO-NEGÓCIO NO SERTÃO MARANHENSE
Authors: Oliveira Adalberto Luiz Rizzo de
Published: January 2025

O centro-sul do Estado do Maranhão experimentou, nas últimas décadas, mudanças econômicas e socioambientais decorrentes do desenvolvimento regional. Esse processo impactou a organização social e simbólica dos grupos indígenas locais, com a imposição da lógica do mercado sobre a da auto-sustentação destes grupos. Os Apaniekrá e Ramkokamekra-Canela (Jê-Timbira) foram envolvidos por essa nova fronteira econômica, com a implantação do Projeto Ferro-Carajás e do Programa Grande Carajás, transformando fazendas e núcleos sertanejos em empreendimentos do agro-negócio - lavouras de soja, cana-de-açúcar, eucalipto, criação de gado - o que levou a FUNAI a realizar estudos para a revisão demarcatória das Terras Indígenas Kanela e Porquinhos. Com apoio de políticos locais, os sertanejos têm obtido junto ao INCRA e ITERMA, a titulação das terras que ocupam e a criação de novos assentamentos rurais, enquanto agências federais, estaduais e ONGs têm implementado projetos de desenvolvimento étnico e local junto a grupos indígenas e regionais. O trabalho analisa os impactos das intervenções vinculadas ao desenvolvimento sobre os Apaniekrá e Ramkokamkra-Canela e as respostas por estes elaboradas, através de movimentos sócio-religiosos e do associativismo indígena.

ALIMENTAÇÃO, CORPORALIDADE E DOENÇA: regimes de subjetivação do outro a partir de um estudo entre os índios Xavante (Mato Grosso, Brasil)
Authors: Fernandes Estevão Rafael
Published: January 2025

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a relação entre alimentação, corporalidade e doença entre os índios Xavante, a partir de trabalho de campo, entrevistas e do diálogo com a literatura antropológica sobre aquela etnia. Ao longo da pesquisa por diversas vezes percebeu-se uma relação entre alimentos e doenças não-indígenas, mas operando a partir da lógica nativa de corporalidade e substância. O que se propõe são estudos que levem em conta a interlocução entre as explicações nativas sobre a doença, da perspectiva indígena sobre as relações interétnicas, dos conceitos indígenas de corporalidade bem como de suas concepções cosmológicas.
A COMIDA E A SOCIABILIDADE NA CULTURA POMERANA
Authors: Schmidt Adriele , Pereira Farias Rita de Cássia
Published: January 2025

Este artigo objetiva identificar as comidas de origem pomerana e as tradições a elas associadas, explorando o processo de construção continuada das tradições culinárias nos rituais, nas festas e no cotidiano dos pomeranos. Trata-se de uma etnografia realizada em duas comunidades rurais do estado do Espírito Santo - Brasil. As comidas típicas pomeranas e as tradições associadas à culinária local estão repletas de significados e podem ser consideradas como uma linguagem que fala sobre família, relações sociais, trabalho, gênero e religião. A reciprocidade, troca e doações de comida são muito presentes no cotidiano e nos rituais pomeranos, envolvendo não só a comida, mas também sementes e até o empréstimo de utensílios de cozinha para a organização das festividades. Nesse sentido, nas comunidades pomeranas estudadas, além de alimentar o corpo físico, a comida alimenta o corpo social, amalgamando as relações sociais e afetivas.

COMIDAS DE RAIZ: a retomada da cultura quilombola no Seridó (Brasil)
Authors: Cavignac Julie Antoinette , Dantas Maria Isabel , Pereira da Silva Danycelle
Published: January 2025

No Seridó potiguar, mulheres são conhecidas por suas habilidades culinárias e são contratadas para cozinhar e preparar os doces consumidos em ocasiões especiais e festivas. Ao cozinhar, as mestras expressam sua marca e identidade, trazendo o conhecimento de seus ancestrais. Nas últimas décadas e apesar das transformações ocorridas na zona rural, algumas ¨cozinheiras de festas¨ se profissionalizaram e o sertão conheceu um processo de patrimonialização: os antigos locais de produção (sítios, fazendas, fábricas de algodão), as manifestações culturais e as festas religiosas atraem uma população urbana à procura das suas origens culturais e de uma cultura “autêntica”. Assim, a comida e as cozinheiras continuam ocupando um lugar central na redescoberta de uma ¨cultura de raiz¨ e de um passado colonial. Propomos aqui entender como o passado se revela nas práticas alimentares e como acontecem os processos de patrimonialização da cultura sertaneja, a partir de exemplos etnográficos coletados durante a pesquisa sobre as práticas alimentares e as cozinheiras negras no Seridó potiguar.
INTEGRIDAD DEL DEPORTE EN BRASIL: UN ANÁLISIS DE LOS ORGANISMOS GUBERNAMENTALES NACIONALES DEL DEPORTE Y LOS PROCEDIMIENTOS ANTIDOPAJE DEL GOBIERNO FEDERAL
Authors: KOHLER Emily
Published: January 2025

Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar si los procedimientos de antidopaje implementados por los organismos nacionales de deportes y el gobierno en Brasil garantizan efectivamente la integridad del deporte. La investigación es de naturaleza descriptiva y cualitativa, empleando entrevistas semi-estructuradas como método de recogida de datos. Se realizaron dieciséis entrevistas con representantes de tres grupos distintos: Grupo I: compuesto por representantes de los organismos nacionales de deportes; Grupo II: que incluye a miembros de la comunidad de expertos en antidopaje; y Grupo III: que abarca a otros interesados relevantes. Se utilizó como técnica el “análisis documental” de contenido para procesar la información recopilada. El estudio revela que las iniciativas de educación en antidopaje en Brasil se implementan tanto de manera presencial como en línea. Estos esfuerzos son coordinados por los organismos nacionales de deportes, la comunidad de expertos en antidopaje y otros interesados responsables del antidopaje. Estas acciones se llevan a cabo de forma independiente y en colaboración con universidades y departamentos municipales de deportes. Si bien estos organismos y las instituciones gubernamentales se adhieren a las regulaciones internacionales, la ausencia de procesos de evaluación sólidos obstaculiza la disponibilidad de datos completos para monitorizar la efectividad de estas iniciativas. Además, los conceptos erróneos sostenidos por algunos gestores involucrados en la investigación resaltan la necesidad de una comprensión más clara del antidopaje dentro de la comunidad deportiva, lo cual es crucial para fomentar una cultura antidopaje y garantizar la integridad del deporte en Brasil.

El presente artículo presenta parte de los resultados de la investigación histórica que supone la tesis doctoral de Esther Apesteguía Lanseros, dirigida por María Eugenia Martínez Gorroño y María Teresa Calle Molina, sobre las circunstancias sociales y culturales que posibilitaron el inicio del lanzamiento femenino en España entre 1960 y 1990. Al tratarse de un estudio sobre la Historia del Tiempo Presente, la metodología utilizada ha sido específicamente diseñada, utilizando y categorizando diversas fuentes, para posteriormente realizar un análisis documental, contrastando y triangulando la información de las fuentes mencionadas para obtener validez y fiabilidad en los resultados obtenidos. Basándonos en la posibilidad de poder realizar entrevistas a las fuentes orales primarias relacionadas con el lanzamiento de peso, se expone una aproximación a la historia de vida de Margarita Ramos Villar, primera española en participar en unos Juegos Olímpicos en esta modalidad y parte fundamental de la historia del atletismo español.
ЭФФЕКТИВНЫЙ ОНТИЧЕСКИЙ СТРУКТУРНЫЙ РЕАЛИЗМ И КОНТЕКСТУАЛЬНЫЙ РЕАЛИЗМ
Authors: ПРИСЬ И.Е.
Published: January 2025

В статье рассматриваются разновидности эффективного реализма (ЭР) в философии физики. Дж. Лэдиман и Л. Лоренцетти предлагают устранить проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются версии ЭР, улучшить и объединить их при помощи эффективного онтического структурного реализма (ОСР). На наш взгляд, (эффективный) ОСР содержит важные интуиции, но не является подлинно реалистической позицией. Общее у него со стандартным научным реализмом - метафизическое предположение о существовании внешнего мира и репрезентационализм. Мы предлагаем альтернативу - контекстуальный реализм (КР). КР утверждает категориальное различие между идеальными нормами и реальностью, в которой они укоренены, чувствительность онтологии к контексту и, соответственно, отвергает модальный реализм ОСР. Мы устанавливаем соответствие между эффективным ОСР и КР, избавляющее ОСР от спекулятивной метафизики. Структуре соответствует витгенштейновское правило/норма (вправило). Реальные паттерны - контекстуальные объекты, идентифицируемые вправилом в рамках языковых игр своих применений. Масштабная относительность онтологии - частный случай чувствительности онтологии к контексту. КР предлагает лучшее решение проблем теоретических реликтов, смены теорий и пессимистической (мета)индукции, чем это делают ЭР или эффективный ОСР. Наша интерпретация (эффективного) ОСР с точки зрения КР согласуется с подходом Д. Уоллеса «сначала математика» и некоторыми другими новыми интерпретациями ОСР.

The article considers varieties of effective realism (ER) in the philosophy of physics. J. Ladyman and L. Lorenzetti propose to eliminate the problems faced by ER versions, improve them, and unify them through effective ontic structural realism (OSR). In our view, (effective) OSR contains important intuitions but is not a genuine realism. It shares with standard scientific realism the metaphysical assumption of the existence of an external world and representationalism. We propose an alternative: contextual realism (CR). CR asserts the categorical distinction between ideal norms and the reality in which they are anchored, the sensitivity of ontology to context and, consequently, rejects the modal realism of OSR. We establish a correspondence between effective OSR and CR, which rids OSR of speculative metaphysics. The structure corresponds to the Wittgensteinian rule/norm (Wrule). Real patterns are contextual entities identified by the Wittgensteinian rule within the language games of its applications. Scale relativity of ontology is a special case of ontology’s sensitivity to context. CR offers a better solution to the problems of theoretical relicts, theory change and pessimistic (meta)induction than either ERs or effective OSR do. Our interpretation of (effective) OSR in terms of CR is consistent with D. Wallace’s mathematicsfirst approach and some other new interpretations of OSR.
ЧИСЛО И ВРЕМЯ: Ч. II. ИДЕЯ НУЛЯ И ЕДИНИЦЫ В ТЕМПОРАЛЬНОМ ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИИ
Authors: СПАСКОВ А.Н.
Published: January 2025

Во второй части статьи обосновывается возможность генезиса в индивидуальном сознании общего понятия числа и натурального ряда чисел на основе врожденных идей Я и не-Я и способности к когнитивным действиям. В качестве первичных понятий, с которых начинается генезис понятия числа, берутся понятия времени и сознания. Для описания темпоральной структуры сознания используется рассмотренная в первой части (Философия науки, 2015, № 4 (67), с. 48-69) модель расслоенного времени, заданного на базе линейного физического времени. Понятия Я и не-Я определяются как единичный темпоральный цикл в сознании. Вводятся понятия положительной темпоральной единицы, отрицательной темпоральной единицы и темпорального нуля.

The second part of the article substantiates the possibility of the genesis of the general concept of number and natural numbers in the individual consciousness on the basis of innate ideas of Self and non-Self and the ability for cognitive actions. The concepts of time and consciousness are taken as the primary concepts with which the genesis of the concept of number begins. To describe the temporal structure of consciousness, we use the model of fibered time defined on the basis of linear physical time, which was discussed in the first part (Philosophy of Science, 2015, No. 4 (67), pp. 48-69). The concepts of Self and non-Self are defined as a single temporal cycle in consciousness. We also introduce the concepts of positive temporal one, negative temporal one and temporal zero.
ФИЛОСОФСКИЕ ВОПРОСЫ ЭВОЛЮЦИИ ПОЛА И ПОЛОВОЙ ЛЮБВИ: ИСТОРИЯ И СОВРЕМЕННОСТЬ

Published: January 2025

Проблема пола находит все большее отражение в современных исследованиях, чему способствует актуализация гендерной проблематики в культурной и общественной сферах. При этом подходы к изучению проблемы пола носят во многом односторонний характер, фокусируясь либо на социальных, либо на биологических аспектах пола (гендера). С опорой на работы русских философов (В.С. Соловьева, И.А. Ильина, Н.А. Бердяева и В.В. Розанова) в статье представлен интегративный подход. Он направлен на междисциплинарный анализ проблематики пола с позиции, объединяющей результаты исследований в биологии, социологии, психологии, культурологии и философии. На основе сравнительного анализа проводится сопоставление философских и естественнонаучных теорий пола и половой любви, исследуются основные детерминанты пола. Выявлено, что в природе и обществе детерминация пола происходит с участием не только биологических, но также социальных, и когнитивных факторов. Отмечается необходимость дальнейшего сохранения «романтической» традиции понимания пола и половой любви.

The popularity of the problem of gender has increased significantly in modern science. This interest was facilitated by the boost of gender issues in culture and society. However, available approaches to the study of the problem of gender are largely onesided, focusing either on the social or biological aspects of sex (gender). Borrowing ideas from the works of Russian philosophers (V.S. Solovyov, I.A. Ilyin, N.A. Berdyaev and V.V. Rozanov), the article presents an integrative approach. It is aimed at an interdisciplinary analysis of gender issues from a position that combines the results of research in biology, sociology, psychology, cultural studies and philosophy. Based on a comparative analysis, the research provides a juxtaposition of theories of sex and sexual love in philosophy and natural sciences and examines the main determinants of sex. It has been revealed that in nature and society, the determination of sex occurs by involving not only biological factors but also social and cognitive ones. The necessity of further maintenance of the “romantic” tradition in the understanding of the nature of sex and sexual love is emphasized.

По количеству видов доминировали базидиомицеты порядка Agaricales. В семейственном спектре ведущее положение занимали Inocybaceae, Mycenaceae, Russulaceae, Agaricaceae. Среди родов видовой насыщенностью отличались Inocybe (Fr.) Fr . , Mycena (Pers.) Roussel. В эколого-трофической структуре превалировала группа симбиотрофных грибов, вторую позицию заняла группа подстилочных сапротрофов, а третью - гумусовых сапротрофов, остальные группы были представлены незначительным числом видов. Анализ экотопной приуроченности показал, что большинство видов встречается в искусственных насаждениях ботанического сада.

Based on studies of the biota of macromycetes in the territory of the Kuzbass Botanical Garden, 53 species of larger fungi (macromycetes) were identified of higher fungi were identified. The identified species belonged to the divisions Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, 25 species being new records for the Kemerovo Region, and Inocybe salicis Kühner being reported for the first time in Asia. In terms of the number of species, basidiomycetes from the order Agaricales dominated. In the family spectrum, the leading position was occupied by Inocybaceae, Mycenaceae, Russulaceae, Agaricaceae. Among the genera, Inocybe (Fr.) Fr . and Mycena (Pers.) Roussel differed in species richness. In the ecological-trophic structure, the group of symbiotrophic fungi prevailed, the second position was occupied by the group of litter saprotrophs, and the third by humus saprotrophs, the remaining groups were represented by a small number of species. Analysis of ecotopic occurrence showed that most species are found in artificial plantings of the Botanical Garden.
A Comparative Study of Competencies of Future Management Accounting Professionals in Lithuania and Latvia Using a Multi-Criteria Model
Authors: Tamulevičienė Daiva , Vareikaitė Aistė , Būmane Inga
Published: January 2025

Management accountants' high level of competence is essential for every company, as they manage a large amount of financial and non-financial information based on which managers make appropriate and timely decisions. However, the question arises as to whether the knowledge, skills and values of a management accountant, as referred to in the academic literature, are equally important in assessing such professionals' competence. Some elements are likely more important than others. This paper aims to identify the competencies required for a modern management accountant and quantify the importance of each competence element using a multi-criteria assessment approach. Such a multi-criteria model could be helpful for companies looking for management accountants to define the required level of competence, for management accountants and accounting students to assess their competencies and, if necessary, to improve the missing competencies. The study identified six competencies needed for a modern management accountant, among which the essential competencies identified by the experts were analytical skills and knowledge of corporate finance. Based on the experts' estimates, two multi-criteria models for assessing the competencies of a modern management accountant were developed and applied to evaluate the level of management accounting competencies of Lithuanian and Latvian accounting students.
In Search of Lost National Epic: Poem Kastītis ir Juraite by Auszra poet Andrius Vištelis
Authors: Kristinaitytė Ieva
Published: January 2025

The article discusses the manuscript poem Kastītis ir Juraite (1889) by Andrius Vištelis and the vision of an imagined utopian Lithuanian culture emerging in the poem. Vištelis was a then-known poet of the 19th-century Lithuanian national movement who, in the current historiography, is perceived as a marginal writer. The poem has not been analysed until now, although it is one of the earliest texts in Lithuanian about the myth of Jūratė and Kastytis. The poem can be considered as an attempt to create the missing Lithuanian national epic for the emerging modern Lithuanian national community. The cultural tensions and negotiations that appear in the poem are reviewed. The images appearing in the poem that was destined to unite the community are also analysed.The first part of the article discusses the paradigm of poetic and linguistic reconstruction and its significance for the creative program of one of the initiators of Auszra, thus including Vištelis in the significant field of the romanticism, which was manifested in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, whereas the second part analyses the idea of a new egalitarian society proclaimed in the poem Kastītis ir Juraite in the 19th century through the context of utopias. In the analysed poem, a new religion emerges, which was supposed to combine pagan and Christian ‘traditions’. The circulation of Hugues Felicité Robert Lamennais philosophy on the work of Vištelis is discussed, the circumstances of the poem’s creation are specified, and the possible narrative of the poem is reconstructed from the drafts, thereby supplementing the discourse of the first national Lithuanian paper Auszra.
On the Handing over of the Exhibits of the 1900 Paris Exposition. Correspondence among the Lithuanian Alliance of America, Morta Zauniūtė, and Jonas Basanavičius (1905–1909)
Authors: Vaicekauskas Mikas
Published: January 2025

Rallied by national revival, Lithuanians also presented their display at the 1900 Paris Exposition. The Lithuanian section of the Paris Exposition was opened on 14 May. Since it was impossible to have a separate pavilion for political reasons, it was shown in the ethnographic part of the exposition at the Trocadéro Museum of Ethnography, that is, at the Trocadéro Palace. It had been agreed that the exposition would be ethnographic in nature. However, taking the key interests of the participation in the exhibition into account, the organisers made effort to organise a section on the Lithuanian press, which attracted the attention of the international community to the ban on the Lithuanian press. The Lithuanian exhibition was a success and was covered by the foreign press; it closed on 12 November. In addition to the extremely complex matters of its organisation, the issues of its liquidation – meeting the obligations of the exhibition, preparation of reports, using the surplus funds, gifting the exhibits, returning the borrowed exhibits, handling the remaining exhibits, etc. – arose after it. When eventually a decision was made to hand the remaining exhibits over to the Lithuanian Alliance of America and later to the Lithuanian Science Society, this was not carried out smoothly and without delay. After lengthy journeys around the world and in Europe, these remaining exhibits reached Vilnius and were integrated in memory institutions; they became accessible to the general public, and have remained such up until now. The sources available – the correspondence between the organisations and individuals involved in this matter and publications in the press, which are currently stored at Vilnius University Library and at the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore – make it possible to introduce the history of the transfer of the exhibits consistently, while also covering some individual and psychological nuances.

Development and implementation of a measurement system for PTW water phantom in the determination of absorbed dose to water
Authors: Leon Andreina , Rodrígruez Carlos , Durán José Alexander Durán
Published: January 2025

At Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL) in Venezuela is the only one in the country that performs calibrations of dosimetry systems with an IAEA water phantom. However, SSDL has a PTW water phantom, for which there is no procedure for the calibration of dosimetry systems. Therefore, a methodology was developed for its validation using a cobalt-60 equipment, a secondary standard, an IAEA water phantom and a PTW phantom. The adapter for ionization chamber type NE 2561 was studied and designed to protect it from water. The methodology consisted of calculate of absorbed dose rate to water in IAEA water phantom and PTW water phantom. Subsequently, the absorbed dose rates to water were compared between both phantoms and finally, the validation of the new procedures and their respective uncertainties was performed. The adapter of ionization chamber was built with PMMA material. Comparisons between absorbed dose rates to water showed that there is no difference between the two phantoms. The absorbed dose rate to water was calculated with the procedure updates along with their associated uncertainties, obtaining =0.13482 ± 0.00292 Gy/min. Finally, the validation obtained a value of less than 0.7%, which means that the implementation of the new procedures for the calibration of dosimetry systems is valid and applied at the SSDL-Venezuela.
Epidemiological aspects and new perspectives for the prevention of diabetic foot and its consequences
Authors: Araújo Cruz Ana Karina , Caetano Mosca Livia de Paula , da Silva Matheus Tavella , Faria Elaine Cristina , Pagnossa Jorge Pamplona
Published: January 2025

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a clinical condition characterized as a chronic non-communicable disease, which imposes challenges in the lives of individuals when neglected in the context of community and preventive health. In this context, the identification and description of the consequences acquired by this disease imply greater chances of early diagnosis of bacterial infections and mitigation of the occurrence of antibiotic resistance, developed mainly by people who have complications of DM, such as diabetic foot. This complication leads to a high number of lower limb amputations. As discussed in the article, people who exhibit diabetic foot can resort to alternative therapies such as larval and photodynamic therapy. Therefore, this narrative review aims to cover the main contextual elements of DM in the Brazilian population, microbial infections that affect diabetic foot patients, innovative therapies, and the general implications for the Unified Health System (SUS).
Resilience of the Socio-Economic System of Ukraine to the Shocks Caused by the War: Specifics of Formation and Response
Authors: ЕLLA LIBANOVA
Published: January 2025

The full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation has caused a number of fundamentally new shocks for Ukraine, which it had neither economic nor time resources to adapt to. The ability to anticipate possible attacks, quickly recover from shocks and adapt to the new reality (constant bombardment, destruction of housing, lack of electricity, mobilisation, lack of convenient transport links with other countries, etc.) has become critical.

The strength and nature of war shocks determine new methods and tools for their prediction and measurement, which is extremely difficult in the context of the inevitable limitation of information, both comprehensive and selective, during war. In such circumstances, measuring the actual state of the system after the shock has started relies on models and big data, while assessment and forecasting, primarily ex ante, relies on monitoring, including defined development trajectories.

Determining possible responses to the effects of shocks requires clarifying the main aspects of the formation and implementation of resilience (natural resource, economic, demographic, socio-psychological), taking into account their interrelationships and different rates of change, powers and capabilities of individual governance actors (supranational, national, local, and personal), including the specific role of household resources and their consumption behaviour.

Of particular importance is the scale of the system and the appropriate response tools, the focus on mono- or multi-subject governance, coordination mechanisms, and the formality/informality of institutions. In particular, in Ukraine, informal institutions, mainly at the local level (territorial defence, volunteer movement, etc.), have proved to be very important.
Assessment and Ways to Improve the Resilience of Ukrainian Society
Authors: MYKOLA KYZYM , VIKTORIIA KHAUSTOVA , OLEKSANDR YAHOLNYTSKYI
Published: January 2025

The article examines the problems of assessing and ensuring the resilience potential of society in Ukraine and other countries. The need to ensure the resilience potential of countries so as to withstand crises and shocks of various origins, which lead to economic stagnation or decline, justifies the relevance of this research area. The purpose of the article is to assess and identify areas for ensuring the resilience potential of society and its spheres in the countries of the world and Ukraine. The novelty of the results obtained in the study lies in the development of scientific and methodological approach to assessing the resilience potential of society and its spheres and substantiating the factors of its increase. The study uses the following methods: general scientific (comparison and generalisation, analysis and synthesis) and special (integral assessment, cluster analysis, correlation analysis, cognitive modelling). The article clarifies the essence of the concept of ‘society’s resilience’ and proposes a scientific and methodological approach to assessing the resilience potential of society and its spheres (social, political, economic, environmental), based on a set of indicators presented in international indices and rankings characterising the relevant spheres. Based on the study, it is determined that Ukraine ranks 43rd among the 48 countries studied in terms of the integral indicator of resilience potential. The study also clusters these countries according to comprehensive indicators of the resilience potential of the spheres of society and builds a cognitive model of the mutual influence of indicators for assessing the resilience potential of the spheres of society. It is substantiated that in order to increase the resilience potential of Ukrainian society, it is necessary first of all to ensure the rule of law and the effectiveness of public administration in the country.
Study of the Evolution of the Theory of Resilience in Application to Territorial Systems
Authors: TETIANA KALASHNIKOVA
Published: January 2025

In the modern context, the problem of ensuring the resilience of territorial economic systems and the economy of Ukraine as a whole is extremely relevant. The purpose of the article is to study the evolution of the theory of resilience in application to territorial systems, which was proposed by foreign economic theory in response to the challenges of the global financial and economic crisis of 2008 and the period of recovery after it. To form the main postulates of the study, general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, classification, system analysis were used. The work analyzes the basic theories of resilience. The main contradictions that were faced by researchers during their development were investigated as well. The views on the question of the ultimate goal of resilience have been investigated. In particular, the evolution from the point of view that this goal is to maintain the state of equilibrium of the regional (urban) economic system, to the abandonment of this thesis, when the ultimate goal is blurred and either is considered as a continuous process of balancing the economic system, rather than returning to a previously existing or a new stable equilibrium condition, or there is a thesis of interrupted equilibrium, which is a sequence of stable forms or pathways of sustainable growth that is interrupted by periodic shocks. Engineering, ecological and evolutionary approaches to regional (urban) resilience have been studied by scientists on the way to finding an analogy from other fields of science, where the phenomenon of “sustainability — resilience “ has been developed quite carefully. The analysis gives the grounds for highlighting the adaptive approach as the most promising and adequate for the purpose of studying the economic content of the territorial aspect of the economy and the formation of relevant practical recommendations. According to the adaptive approach, economic resilience is understood as a multidimensional property, which includes not only the ability of the territorial system to recover from shock, but also the adaptive properties of its economic structure and the ability to restore positive economic dynamics.

Summary. Aim: to identify genes encoding metabolic enzymes downregulated in various types of renal tumors, aiming to develop novel metabolic therapeutic strategies for renal cancer treatment. Object and methods: twenty pairs of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) samples and adjacent normal tissues were analyzed. DataSet and Series files containing microarray results with gene expression data from different types of renal tumors and normal tissues were compared. Using cross-platform normalization for several reference genes, we identified downregulated genes encoding metabolic enzymes that could serve as potential targets for novel metabolic strategies in renal cancer treatment. Expression of selected genes (ALDOB, ASS1, DAO, HPD and PAH) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma was validated by real-time RT- PCR. Results: using comparative microarray analysis with cross-platform normalization across multiple reference genes, we identified seven downregulated genes in various types of renal tumors that may serve as potential targets for developing novel metabolic strategies for renal cancer treatment. The enzymes encoded by these genes are involved in amino acid metabolism (ACY1, ASS1, DAO, PAH, HPD, PIPOX) and glycolysis (ALDOB). Decreased expression of ASS1, ALDOB, DAO, HPD, and PAH in clear cell RCC was confirmed using real-time RT-PCR. Conclusion: although monotherapy has shown limited efficacy, employing diverse metabolic strategies in renal tumor treatment may yield significantly better results, particularly when combined with conventional therapies. To expand the range of antitumor targets, the identified downregulated genes could be supplemented with upregulated genes, as well as those with expression changes specific to particular tumor types. Once a comprehensive panel of potential targets is established and gene expression profiles are analyzed for individual patients, personalized metabolic strategies for renal tumor treatment can be developed.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is similar in symptoms to pneumonia, is caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). From March 3, 2020, when COVID-19 was first diagnosed in Ukraine, to April 13, 2024 (https://index.minfin.com.ua/ua/reference/coronavirus/ukraine/), in Ukraine, with a population of 41 130 thousand, there were 5 557 995 infected people, of whom 112 418 died, or approximately 2%. Of note, vaccination against coronavirus in Ukraine began only on February 24, 2021, and on June 18, 2024 approximately 38.0% of the population (15 729 617 people) have been vaccinated, with 36.96% (15 201 112 people) fully vaccinated, and only 1.76% (724 557 people) of the country’s population, received a booster dose. Previously, the genetic characteristics of the SARS-COV-2 virus variants in three waves of the pandemic in Ukraine were discussed, now the main attention will be paid to the mechanism of interaction between the virus and the host cell, as well as the molecule that serves as the coronavirus receptor — ACE2 (Angiotensin I-converting enzyme 2).

The response of plants to heavy metals involves phytohormones, particularly cytokinins, with zeatin being one of the active forms. Exogenous phytohormones are believed to induce plant resistance to heavy metals and enhance phytoextraction. We investigated the impact of exogenous zeatin on the morpho-physiological characteristics of young and mature sporophytes of Salvinia natans and their ability to extract zinc ions from the aquatic environment. It has been shown that zeatin mitigated the adverse effect of zinc sulfate on dry weight accumulation, but did not alleviate its negative impact on fresh weight accumulation in both young and mature sporophytes. During intensive growth and sori formation and spore maturation stages under zinc loading, exogenous zeatin (at 10–6 M concentration) led to 40% and 50% increase in the dry weight of young and mature sporophytes, respectively. In the presence of zinc sulfate, the total chlorophyll content decreased by 23% in the fronds of young sporophytes and by 44% in the fronds of mature sporophytes, while total carotenoids decreased by 21% in both cases. Zeatin addition alleviated the negative impact of the metal on the pigment complex in young sporophyte fronds but exacerbated it in mature sporophyte fronds. The pigment complex of the sporophyte was more susceptible to metal action during sori formation and spore maturation, resulting in frond browning and pronounced chlorosis. However, chlorosis was less intense and localized upon zeatin addition. The capacity of S. natans sporophytes to extract zinc ions from the aqueous medium was demonstrated, with zinc concentration decreasing by over tenfold from 10 mg·L–1 to 0.6 mg·L–1after 14 days of cultivation. The application of zeatin did not affect the efficiency of zinc ions extraction from water.

Dynamical behavior of damaged railway sleeper subjected to moving loads: Parametric study of crack properties
Authors: Le Thuy-Duong , Tran Le-Hung
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the dynamic responses of cracked beams placed on a visco-elastic foundation and subjected to moving loads. Utilizing the Euler–Bernoulli beam model, the behavior of the beams is characterized, accounting for multiple open cracks on one side with varying depths. Through the application of Fourier transform techniques and Green's function, the dynamic response of the beam is analytically determined in the frequency domain. Furthermore, an analytical model for railway sleepers is developed by integrating them with a periodically supported beam model. This integrated model enables efficient computation of the dynamic behavior of damaged sleepers, where cracks are present at specific locations. Additionally, a calculation model utilizing the finite element method is established and compared with the analytical model. The parametric study shows the influence of crack properties on the dynamic beam responses.
Spirit Possession and Intimate Partner Violence in the Law of Jealousy (Numbers 5:11–31)
Authors: Carlson Reed
Published: January 2025

Historically, interpretation of the “law of jealousy” (Num 5:29) has focused on the supposed “straying” wife (Num 5:12) and assumed that resolving the consequences of her behavior was the primary purpose of the text. More recently, feminist interpreters have demonstrated how the law of jealousy functions to validate a husband’s suspicions and protect patriarchal power by subjecting his wife to a degrading public ritual regardless of her guilt or innocence. Building on these insights, in this essay I adopt the framework of spirit possession for assessing the “spirit of jealousy” (רוח־קנאה, vv. 14, 30) that overwhelms the husband. I analyze how notions of spirits and jealousy are related in the Hebrew Bible and other texts from antiquity, then compare this to data from fields outside of biblical studies, including ethnography, cultural anthropology, and social science research on intimate partner violence (IPV). I conclude that the nature of the husband’s spirit possession is not a suspension of his executive faculties but a spirit syndrome that operates like a pathology. The law of jealousy does not protect the woman from shame or mob violence, but rather protects the community by providing the husband with a contained ritual setting to mollify his jealous spirit.
2 Corinthians 8:16–9:5 as a Letter of Commendation and Instruction
Authors: Sumney Jerry L.
Published: January 2025

Discussion of the integrity of 2 Cor 8–9 since 1985 has not seen new arguments for either reading these chapters as a unit or seeing two letters in these chapters, and the several decades before that saw no real new arguments either. In this essay, I argue that there are two letters in chapters 8–9, but their boundaries are not the same as the chapter designations. Rather, finding 8:16–9:5 as a separate letter provides a solution that accounts for the arguments understanding the two chapters as parts of a single letter and those that have been used to identify all of chapter 8 and all of chapter 9 as separate letters. In addition, this division of the letter conforms to the conventions of letters of commendation and instruction that appear in both official and nonofficial correspondence.
From flame to fame: Transformation of firesticks to art in North Queensland
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Henry Rosita
Published: January 2025

Among the many different kinds of artefacts collected in the rainforest region of North Queensland by European collectors during the late 1800s and early 1900s is a uniquely shaped fire-making tool. This paper explores the significance of such fire-makers for the Aboriginal people who originally made them, the collectors who sought them, and Aboriginal artists today who reference them in contemporary works of art for a global art market. Tracing the history of transactions concerning this particular type of fire-maker provides a dynamic field for reflection on the concept of value.
