rescate de cautivos musulmanes: nueva clave de las relaciones Mallorca-Magreb en la Baja Edad Media
Authors: BURGUERA I PUIGSERVER Victòria A.
Published: January 2023

This article investigates the specific conditions that made Majorca one of the strategic places for the development of captive redemption processes in the late Middle Ages. Through the study of the tax levied on the departure of Muslims from de Kingdom of Majorca, the eixides de sarraïns, a privileged way of access to the rescue of Muslims is revealed in which the Majorcan Jewish convert merchants played a relevant role. Likewise, the same source allows to trace direct connection routes between the greater Balearic Island and the Hafsid sultanate of Tunisia, considered secondary until now with respect to the routes directed to other areas of the Maghreb.

El presente artículo indaga en las específicas condiciones que hicieron de Mallorca un lugar estratégico para el desarrollo de procesos de redención de cautivos en la Baja Edad Media. A través del estudio de los impuestos de salida de musulmanes del reino de Mallorca, las eixides de sarraïns, se desvela una vía privilegiada de acceso al rescate de musulmanes en la que los mercaderes mallorquines judeoconversos jugaron un papel relevante. Asimismo, la misma fuente permite trazar rutas de conexión directa entre la isla balear mayor y el sultanato hafsí de Túnez, consideradas hasta el momento secundarias respecto a las dirigidas a otros puntos del Magreb.
Papado, monarquía y ciudad: la política religiosa de Alfonso V en la frontera sur de la Corona de Aragón (1416-1458)
Authors: CAÑIZARES GÓMEZ María José
Published: January 2023

This study seeks to analyse the religious politics that the king Alfonso V developed on the South of the Crown of Aragon, focusing on the suit for the episcopal autonomy in Orihuela. To this end, we will focus mainly on two elements: on the one hand, the performance of the king regarding the religious instability of the papacy during the 15th century and, on the other hand, the Mediterranean foreign policy of the monarch, and how his differences with the papacy affected the matter of Orihuela.

En este estudio se pretende realizar un análisis sobre la política religiosa que desarrolló el rey Alfonso V sobre el territorio meridional de la Corona de Aragón, focalizando en el pleito por la autonomía episcopal de la Gobernación de Orihuela. Para ello nos vamos a centrar fundamentalmente en dos aspectos: por un lado, en la actuación del monarca ante la inestabilidad religiosa del papado durante el siglo XV y por otro, en la política exterior mediterránea del rey y cómo afectaron sus problemas con el pontificado a la cuestión oriolana.

En la medida de lo posible, examinaremos algunos aspectos y elementos que merecen ser confrontados con el mundo islámico.
Diplomática y gesto. El ejemplo de la documentación medieval valenciana
Authors: PONS ALÓS Vicente
Published: January 2023

In the process of revitalisation of Diplomatic there is an area that has hardly been dealt with, although it is known and studied from other perspectives. It is the set of gestures and signs that used to be reflected some documentary typologies, rarely analysed in relation to the document itself, to which they are associated: touching with the hands, the ceremonial of taking possession; some relevant signs, such as the key, the book or the tree; privileged spaces; cutting the document to indicate multiple originals or their cancellation, and the materiality of the details. In this paper we seek to examine some of these gestures in the medieval documentation of the kingdom of Valencia. The reading of these gestures, together with the documents they accompany, allows us to improve the understanding of the meaning of the document in a specific society.

En el proceso de revitalización de la Diplomática existe un ámbito apenas tratado, aunque conocido y estudiado desde otras perspectivas, se trata del conjunto de gestos y signos que suelen acompañar a algunas tipologías documentales, pocas veces analizado en relación con el mismo documento, al quese asocian: tocar con las manos, el ceremonial de las tomas de posesión; algunos signos relevantes, como la llave, el libro o el árbol; espacios privilegiados; cortar el documento para indicar originales múltiples o su cancelación, y la materialidad de los detalles. Con el presente trabajo pretendemos realizar una aproximación a algunos de estos gestos en la documentación medieval del reino de Valencia. La lectura de éstos, unidos a los documentos, a quienes acompañan, nos permite identificar mejor el significado del documento en una sociedad concreta.
Notas a la diacronía y la fraseología de andana y traque
Authors: Ribes Lorenzo Juan Manuel
Published: January 2023

The study of Spanish phraseology still lacks a lexicographical work that describes its units from a historical perspective. Even though DHISFRAES (Spanish historical and phraseological dictionary) partially fills that gap, several studies have surveyed the history of an important number of phraseological units. Our study then aims to contribute to historical phraseology by exploring the phraseological units with andana and traque (two phraseologically bound words) as their nucleus.

El estudio fraseológico del español carece todavía hoy de una obra lexicográfica en la que sus unidades se vean descritas en su historia. Aunque el DHISFRAES llena parcialmente ese vacío, no pocos trabajos han podido detallar la historia de un número importante de unidades fraseológicas. El presente estudio pretende adherirse a ellos, explorando desde los preceptos de la fraseología histórica las unidades fraseológicas que tienen como núcleo andana y traque, ambas palabras diacríticas.

Published: January 2023

Humorous discourse uses diverse linguistic strategies and devices to elicit laughter from viewers. This paper studies metalinguistic reflection as a creative and cohesive element of humorous discourse. To this end, we analyze a corpus of 50 examples taken from a well-known Spanish comedy TV show. These examples of metalinguistic reflection are then classified according to the linguistic elements involved in each of them (polysemies, folk etymologies, euphemisms, metalinguistic expressions, etc.). The results show that metalinguistic reflection functions as a device of linguistic creativity with a high degree of dynamism in the creation of humorous situations.

Authors: Sanz-Simón Laura
Published: January 2023

For years, people with disabilities have felt hurt by the terms used to refer to them. The aim of this research is to find out whether there has been a change in the vocabulary employed and to collect information about the words with which people from this group feel identified. To this end, the experiences, preferences and proposals of 400 people with disabilities living in Spain and from two different periods —one of them, the present— were collected by means of a questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions. The results show that the treatment has improved since the year 2000, but they also reveal new inappropriate terms and a common feeling that there is still a long way to go.

Durante años, las personas que presentan discapacidad se han sentido heridas a causa de los vocablos con que se las designaba. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer si existe un cambio con respecto al vocabulario empleado y recoger aquellas voces con las que estas personas se sienten identificadas. Para ello, se han recabado las experiencias, las preferencias y las propuestas de 400 personas con discapacidad —residentes en España— de dos épocas distintas —una de ellas, la actual— a través de un cuestionario conformado por preguntas abiertas y cerradas. Los resultados reflejan que existe un mejor trato a partir del año 2000 y, sin embargo, muestran nuevos vocablos inadecuados y un sentimiento común de que todavía queda mucho camino por recorrer.

Authors: Sidrach de Cardona López María de los Ángeles
Published: January 2023

This paper analyses the vocabulary on clothing accessories from the 16th and 17th centuries. The data were obtained from original and unpublished notary documents preserved in the Provincial Historical Archive of Murcia. This research has allowed us to deepen our understanding of some terms which until now had been scarcely documented. The analysis has also made it possible to date the first documentation of these terms further back, to expand the semantic or geographical extension of some words, to attest the creation of words or neological meanings that emerged in the Spanish Golden Age, and to confirm the presence of loans from other languages motivated by factors such as geographical proximity, historical contacts and the adoption of foreign usages.

Este trabajo pretende ofrecer un recorrido por el léxico de los complementos de vestir de los siglos XVI y XVII, partiendo del estudio de documentación notarial, original e inédita, conservada en la sección de protocolos notariales del Archivo Histórico Provincial de Murcia. El análisis de los testimonios recopilados ha permitido profundizar en el conocimiento de algunos términos escasamente documentados hasta la fecha, adelantar su primera documentación, ampliar el ámbito de extensión semántica o geográfica de algunas palabras, atestiguar la creación de voces o acepciones neológicas surgidas en los Siglos de Oro y constatar la presencia de denominaciones tomadas de otras lenguas debido a factores como la proximidad geográfica, los contactos históricos o la adopción de usos extranjeros.

Authors:   Department of Animal Biotechnology, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati – 517502, Jinka Chaitra
Published: January 2023

CRISPR/Cas-9 mediated genome editing has recently emerged as a potential and innovative technology in therapeutic development and biomedical research. Several recent studies have been performed to understand gene modification techniques in obtaining effective ex vivo results. Generally, the disease targets for gene correction will be in specific organs, so understanding the complete potential of genomic treatment methods is essential. From such a perspective, the present review revealed the significant importance of the CRISPR/ Cas9 delivery system. Both the promising gene-editing delivery systems, such as synthetic (non-viral) and viral vector systems are discussed in this review. In addition, this paper attempted to summarize the tissue-specific and organ-specific mRNA delivery systems that provide possible research information for future researchers. Further, the major challenges of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, such as off-target delivery, immunogenicity, and limited packaging, were also elucidated. Accordingly, this review illustrated a wide range of clinical applications associated with the efficient delivery of CRISPR/ Cas9 gene-editing. Moreover, this article emphasizes the role of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in treating Intra Cerebral haemorrhage (ICH), thereby suggesting future researchers to adopt more clinical trials on this breakthrough delivery system.

Published: January 2023

Anemia during pregnancy causes 40% of maternal fatalities in underdeveloped nations, according to statistics from the WHO. Pregnant women should meet the requirements for various nutrients, notably micronutrients, to ensure a better pregnancy outcome in the future. Cucurbita moschata (Pumpkin) seeds contain a variety of compounds, such as m-carboxyphenylalanine, amino butyrate, and citrulline, as well as a number of other amino acids. It has a wide variety of biological activity such as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory etc. However, the community's use of pumpkin seeds is still limited. The present study was aimed to assess the impact of supplementation of pumpkin seeds on anemia among antenatal mothers in relation to Demographic and obstetric variables at Amalapuram Mandal, East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. In the third stage of the study, antenatal mothers' pre- and post-test scores for indicators of anaemia, pica, nail health, level of activity, heart rate, capillary refill, nutritional status, extremities, and level of hunger were compared. According to age, education, occupation, monthly income, and information source, the data demonstrates that according to three prenatal moms' consumption of pumpkin seeds in the morning, three in the afternoon, and one in the evening. The data available indicates that, of the 5 prenatal moms, 2 displayed symptoms of anemia with respect to the length of the menstrual cycle, the volume of menstrual flow, and the method of the previous delivery. Additionally, it was discovered that three of the pregnant mothers had appropriate hemoglobin levels and three of them had inadequate levels based on their past deliveries, menstrual flow volume, and cycle length. It also revealed that there is no discernible relationship between pregnant mothers in Amalapuram Mandal's diet of dry fruits and nuts and menstrual cycle length, flow volume, or method of prior birth.

Authors:   PG & Research Department, Department of Biochemistry, Bhaktavatsalam Memorial College for Women, Korattur chennai-600080, Tamilnadu, India, Sekar Gayathri
Published: January 2023

Changes in life style, such as high-calorie diet intake and lack of exercise, have increased the global prevalence of obesity and diabetes. The major pathophysiological event contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus is the target tissues to insulin action. Currently available drugs are unsuccessful for the treatment of type 2 diabetes due to their unwanted side effects. Hence, search drugs, from plant sources. β-sitosterol is plant sterols with structurally almost like that of cholesterol. It is widely present in various medicinal plants. It has been reported to elicit multitude of bioactivities including anti-lipidemic and anti-hyperglycemic activity. However, specific effect of β-sitosterol on insulin signalling molecules of quadriceps muscle remains unclear. Hence, the study aimed to assess the beneficial role of β-sitosterol on the expression of insulin signalling molecules in quadriceps muscle of high fat diet and sucrose-induced type‑2 diabetic rats. The oral effective dose of β-sitosterol (25 mg/kg body weight) was given once each day until the end of the study (30 days post‑induction of diabetes) to HFD- fed diabetic rats. At the end of the experimental period, fasting blood sugar (FBG), oral glucose (OGTT) and insulin tolerances (IT), Tissue glycogen, Serum insulin, Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI), as well as the levels of insulin signalling molecules like insulin receptor (IR), glucose transporter subtype 4 (GLUT4) proteins and glycogen concentration within the quadriceps muscle were assessed. A diabetic rat indicates impaired glucose and insulin tolerances and insulin signalling molecules (IR and GLUT4) proteins and glycogen concentration. Serum insulin, were found to be increased in diabetic rats. The treatment with β-sitosterol normalized the altered levels of blood glucose, serum insulin, and IR and GLUT4 protein levels. Thus, we concluded that β-sitosterol enhances glycemic control through activation of IR and GLUT4 in the quadriceps muscle of high fat diet and sucrose‑induced type2 diabetic rats.

Published: January 2023

The process of testing newborn infants for hormonal, genetic, metabolic, and other disorders is known as newborn screening (NSB). Newborn screening is essential for detecting, diagnosing, and treating disorders that could save serious consequences for a newborn's health. Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH), Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deﬁciency, and Profound Biotinidase deficiency (BD) are common disorders in India. A retrospective analysis of the results of NBS by Cord blood spots was performed at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 7 Airforce Hospital, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, from June 2022 to September 2022. During this period, 26 newborns were screened for four disorders, including CH, CF, G6PD deficiency, and BD. In this investigation, no cases of CH, CF, G6PD deficiency, or BD were found to be positive. The results of the current data provide a distinct opportunity to investigate the birth prevalence of inborn metabolic disorders in the area close to the city of Kanpur.

Authors:   Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia – 741235, Mukul Das Monish
Published: January 2023

Accurate investigation and prediction of essential genes from bacterial genome is very important as it might be explored in effective targets for antimicrobial drugs and understanding biological mechanism of a cell. A subset of key features data obtained from 14 genome sequence-based features of 20 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria whose essential gene information was downloaded from ePath and NCBI database for mapping and matching essential genes by using a genome extraction program. The selection of key features was performed by using Genetic Algorithm. For each of three classifiers, 80%, 10% and 10% of subset key features were used for training, validation and testing, respectively. Experimental results (10-f-cv) illustrated that DNN (proposed), DT, and SVM achieved AUC of 0.98, 0.88 and 0.82, respectively. DNN (proposed) outperformed DT and SVM. The higher prediction accuracy of classifiers was observed because of using only key features which also justified better generalizability of classifiers and efficiency of key features related to gene essentiality. Besides, DNN (proposed) also showed best prediction performance while compared with other predictors used in previous studies. The genome extraction program was developed for mapping and matching of essential genes between ePath and NCBI database.

Published: January 2023

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) coupled with hypertension (HTN) are leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Association of Interleukin 6 and uric acid levels can be used for early detection of CAD in patients with T2DM. This cross sectional study included 120 study participants, were sub grouped into three Group 1: controls (n=30), Group 2: CAD, HTN without T2DM (n=30) and Group 3: CAD, HTN with T2DM (n=30). Basic biochemical, clinical and experimental parameters were analysed and recorded for all the study subjects. The statistical analysis was done by using the SPSS 20.0. Individuals with CAD, HTN with T2DM had higher BMI, weight, SBP, and DBP levels than patients CAD, HTN without diabetes and controls. In CAD, HTN with T2DM study participants has been found to have higher serum levels of inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and uric acids when compared to CAD, HTN without T2DM and controls. IL6 was significantly positive association with uric acid and negative association with age and HDL. These findings demonstrated a statistically significant positive connection between IL-6, and uric acid concentrations. The identified elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and uric acids in type 2 diabetic and hypertensive CAD patients may aid in the identification of patients at higher risk.
Structure based functional annotation of a MYND-less lysine methyl transferase in Candida albicans
Authors:   Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University, Silchar, Assam-788011, India, Dey Joydeb
Published: January 2023

Candida albicans is opportunistic pathogenic yeast that is widely distributed throughout the world and is classified as the most critical fungal pathogen group. Candida albicans is a common microbiota of healthy individuals but can cause superficial and invasive infections in immune compromised individuals. Protein Post-translational modifications involving methylation of lysine amino acids stand for a major regulator of eukaryotic transcription, and pathways controlling several cellular processes. SMYD makes up a SET (Su (Var) 3–9, Enhancer-of-zeste and Trithorax) and MYND (Myeloid, Nervy, and DEAF-1) domain containing lysine methyl transferase subfamily that transfers methyl groups from methyl donors onto lysine residues in histones (H3 and H4) and non-histone proteins. The SET domain is the methyl transferase catalytic domain, while MYND participates in both protein and DNA interactions. Well-studied examples of SMYD proteins are five human and two Saccharomyces cerevisiae, constituting examples of histone and non-histone protein lysine methyl transferase members. However, there is limited understanding of SET lysine methyltransferases, including the SMYD subfamily, in the pathogenic fungi Candida albicans. Using bioinformatics tools, we characterized the SMYD domain containing proteins in the important pathogen. We report the presence of an atypical SMYD member (CaO19.3863) as a new lysine methyltransferase that can be a target for antifungal therapy.

Authors: Muninathan Natarajan
Published: January 2023

According to estimates from the World Health Organization [WHO], in 2020, 685000 people worldwide died and 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer will be the most common cancer in the world by the end of 2020, when 7.8 million women will still be living who had received a diagnosis within the previous five years. The current study was formulated to note the effects of ethanolic extract of Propolis and Withaferin-A on Breast tumor initiation by benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)p], and its effects on ATPase enzyme levels. Na+/ K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, and calcium ATPase enzyme activities were decreased in the erythrocyte membrane and tissues of breast cancer-bearing animals compared with control groups. The levels of enzyme activities were near normal in Propolis treated animals. It was apparent that the beneficial effect of Propolis was primarily exerted during the initiation and post-initiation stage of B(a)p-induced breast carcinogenesis. Overall, the data indicated that Propolis has modulating effects when administered intra-peritoneally on breast cancer-bearing animals.

Published: January 2023

Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a usually autosomal recessive disorder linked to a deficiency of the enzyme systems of DNA repair. The pathological sensitivity to the sun exposes the patient to develop multiple cancers. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study over a period from January 2006 to December 2014. A total of twelve patients were enrolled. Results: These were nine male cases and three female, with a sex ratio of 3/1. The average age was 7.9 years, ranging from 1 to 40 years. Consanguinity between the parents was found in ten cases (83.3%). The first non-tumor cutaneous manifestations appeared in eight patients before the age of six months. During follow-up, seven patients, including three (43%) at the age of eight years, died from metastasis. Conclusion: XP is complicated in the development of cancers, even in children, and is linked to the intensity of solar radiation in Niger.

Published: January 2023

The co-existence of different autoimmune disorders in the same individual is known as multiple autoimmune syndrome (MAS), which was described by Humbert and Dupond in 1988. Pathogenesis in the immune system occurs with more recurrence in patients with a background marked by another immune disorder. Around 25% of patients with immune system sicknesses tend to foster more immune disorders. In MAS, patients frequently have, at any rate, one dermatological condition, usually vitiligo or alopecia areata. Herein, we report a case of MAS in a sixteen-year-old male suffering from vitiligo with Crohn’s disease and thyroid disease.

Published: January 2023

Background: The 2000–2011 period was for Côte d’Ivoire a period of sociopolitical crisis resulting from an electoral dispute. Skin diseases have long been recognized as an important cause of morbidity among the military, in times of conflict or peace, regardless of their geographic location. In the literature, we found no study on the prevalence of dermatoses in the civilian population during or after the war. In this study, we sought to describe the sociodemographic characteristics of patients and determine the dermatoses observed during this period. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective database study of patients who consulted the dermatology department of the CHU of Treichville from April 18 to July 18, 2011. Data collection was performed with a survey form. The data collected was analyzed with EpiData 3.0. Results: We analyzed the files of 1755 patients and found that 56.75% were males and 43.25% were females. Teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 49 were the most numerous to consult (71.11%). A total of 1923 dermatoses were diagnosed. The five most frequent dermatoses observed were as follows: immunoallergic dermatoses (35.36%), infectious (bacterial, mycotic, parasitic, and viral) and tropical dermatoses (27.04%), inflammatory dermatoses (7.23%), skin tumors (4.52%), and sexually transmitted infections and dermatoses associated with HIV/AIDS (4.26%). Conclusion: The spectrum of dermatoses in the city of Abidjan following the sociopolitical crisis was similar to that prevailing in most large African cities, as industrialization and better living conditions had reduced the prevalence of infectious dermatoses while increased immunoallergic pathologies.

For several decades, a number of agreements have been in force at the international level on the protection of biological diversity in general, individual species, in certain regions of the globe. The objects of legal protection are also different. In view of the significant number of international documents in the field of the protection of biological diversity and its components, the author analyzes the features of individual agreements of a global nature within the framework of this article. Despite the fact that many of them entered into force more than a decade ago, their enforcement activities in various States are carried out taking into account the latest recommendations of their permanent bodies and conferences of the parties, developed taking into account the achieved or unachieved goals set earlier.  The problem of biodiversity conservation is extremely important for ensuring human life on the planet. In today's changing world, there are an increasing number of threats to both biological diversity and its components, and the environment as a whole. Thus, intensive economic activity and the growth of the Earth's population pose an increasing threat to the planet's biodiversity from year to year. Only consolidated efforts of all countries of the world community, regardless of their political and economic interests, can solve the problems of eliminating emerging threats, including through the formation of unified legal approaches to environmental and biodiversity protection. This must be remembered even in the context of global economic and political conflicts. International agreements of a global nature, which have been in force for decades with varying degrees of effectiveness, are also called upon to solve this problem. The main thing is that in the process of implementing their provisions, the tasks to be solved should be set before the States, as well as the implementation of their provisions should be among the main priorities of the Governments of the States that are parties to them.

Published: January 2023

The subject of the study is the psychological characteristics of the individual, their content and features. The object of the study is the interpersonal relationships that arise between an employee of an operational unit and a citizen in the process of establishing trust. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as the emergence and strengthening of neural connections, the peculiarities of the manifestation of a sense of trust and its importance for solving the tasks that face operational investigative activities. The importance of establishing trusting relationships in the process of obtaining the necessary information by the operative and the person of interest to him is noted. Particular attention is paid to the establishment and maintenance of psychological contact between an operative and an object of operational interest, as well as techniques for manipulating the interlocutor using neuro-linguistic programming techniques. The main conclusions of the study are: trust as a moral category is used by operational officers to solve the tasks of operational investigative activities; the foundation of sincere communication and mutual understanding of two personalities is a sense of trust; for the emergence of trusting relationships, it is of great importance to establish and maintain psychological contact in the process of communication between an operative and a citizen by modeling mutual interests and mutual understanding. In the course of establishing trust, neural connections arise. Neurolinguistic programming techniques allow you to establish psychological contact between an operative and a person of interest to him. Neurotechnics are also used to achieve and strengthen trusting relationships.

The subject of the study is the psychological mechanisms that produce a person's character. The classical ideas of character, reflected in its modern definitions and interpretations, are considered. The concepts of "intention" and "attitude" are compared. On this basis, the traditional understanding of character as an expression of the system of human relations to people, objects, etc. is transformed into considering it as an intentional "relief" of the subject. The psychological content of the relationship as a substitute for action (activity) is analyzed. The connection of character with the structure of human activity is substantiated. The idea of the imitation-activity nature of character is put forward. Based on the consideration of the types of intentions and relationships, an attempt is made to develop a basic typology of character. Examples illustrating the imitation-activity nature of character types are given. The advantage of the presented concept of the psychological nature of character is that, unlike existing approaches to character (character as accentuation, social character according to E. Fromm, etc.), it allows you to combine a descriptive approach to character with the possibility of analyzing its internal psychological mechanisms. In addition, since the structure of activity (means, function, etc.) correlates with the fundamental composition of these mechanisms, then our typology of characters is not one of the possible ones, but, as we believe, reflects the basic types of character.

The subject of the study is violations of the perception of oral and written speech presented during the instruction of the examinee and the presentation of stimuli of diagnostic techniques during the primary psychodiagnostics of candidates for service in the penal enforcement system and newly arrived convicts, suspects, accused, who lead to a decrease in the reliability of the psychodiagnostic information received about personal qualities and current psychoemotional state. The purpose of the study is to develop recommendations for the diagnosis of the quality of perception of oral and written speech in the framework of primary psychodiagnostics of candidates for service and newly arrived suspects, accused, convicted. Methods of theoretical and comparative analysis, generalization and systematization are used. The article presents the possible causes of the violations under consideration, systematizes the variants of their manifestations, provides recommendations on the organization and methodology of primary psychological diagnostics, which, subject to its further successful testing without the use of additional neuropsychological diagnostic techniques, reveals violations of oral and written speech perception and assesses the possibility of conducting reliable psychological diagnostics of personality traits and psycho-emotional states. The results of the study are intended for use by penitentiary psychologists, but can be used by psychologists-diagnosticians of any areas of practical activity. It is planned to further develop forms of diagnostic forms for conducting primary psychodiagnostics of service candidates and convicts, suspects, accused upon admission to institutions of the penitentiary system, testing and evaluation of their diagnostic capabilities.

The purpose of our work is to identify the relationship between reflection and self–regulation among teachers of a general education institution. Reflection is one of the most important mechanisms of self-regulation, as the ability to manage the development of one own competencies, i.e. to carry out personal and professional growth. The development of self-regulation helps a modern teacher to find an individual style of professional activity, allows him to achieve adequate professional and personal self-esteem, predict and analyze the results of his activities. Subject of research: the relationship of reflection and self-regulation among teachers of a general education institution. The following were selected as the main research methods: 1. Methodology for diagnosing the level of development of reflexivity (Karpova A.V.). 2. Basic questionnaire "Style of self–regulation of behavior - SSPM" (Morosanova V.I.). The study was conducted on the basis of secondary schools No. 4 and No. 19. Krasnoyarsk. In total, 56 teachers aged 30 to 35 years with more than 5 years of experience in school participated in the study. The sample was mainly made up of women (93%) – subject teachers. After statistical data processing, the following conclusions are made. Teachers with high and low levels of reflection have differences in the level of general self-regulation. There is also some peculiarity in the development of self-regulation processes and regulatory-personal properties. Therefore, we can say that the hypothesis put forward at the beginning of our study has been confirmed. That is, the relationship of reflection and self-regulation among teachers of a general education institution exists. This fact should be taken into account in order to influence the process of professional self-development, to understand the reasons for his professional failures and failures and to regulate his pedagogical activity.
Od dyskursu do dyspozytywu: zarys krytycznej dydaktyki języków obcych
Authors: Kumięga Łukasz
Published: January 2023

Celem artykułu jest naszkicowanie zrębów krytycznej dydaktyki języków obcych, czerpiącej z Krytycznej i Postfoucaultowskiej Analizy Dyskursu oraz analizy dyspozytywu. Pierwsza część to rekonstrukcja kontekstów politycznych, migracyjnych i integracyjnych, w które uwikłana jest edukacja zawodowo-językowa. Krytyczna dydaktyka języków obcych mająca za przedmiot swoich dociekań edukację zawodowo-językową w Niemczach postrzegana będzie jako interdyscyplinarny program badawczy nawiązujący do refleksji nad edukacją i wychowaniem (w ramach pedagogiki krytycznej), nauczaniem i uczeniem się (w ramach dydaktyki ogólnej o nachyleniu krytycznym) oraz edukacją językową i jej specyfiką w nauczaniu i uczeniu się poszczególnych języków (w ramach dydaktyki języków obcych). W ostatniej części artykułu przedstawione zostaną implikacje metodologiczne poprzez wskazanie potencjalnych kierunków i poziomów analizy edukacji zawodowo-językowej w Niemczech oraz próba ich dalszej specyfikacji zmierzająca w kierunku krytycznej analizy formowania podmiotu oraz form subiektyfikacji, która czerpie z analizy dyspozytywu.
