Authors: Hurrahma Mifta , Sylvia Ike
Published: September 2022

This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students of class XI Social Sciences at SMA N 5 Padang. This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of the Liveworksheet-based LKPD in improving student learning outcomes in class XI IPS SMAN 5 Padang. This experimental study uses a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest research design. The population in this study amounted to 36 students of class XI IPS SMA N 5 Padang. The sampling technique used was total sampling with a total sample of 36 class XI IPS 1 SMA N 5 Padang students. The data collection technique uses pretest and posttest questions with a question indicator that presents a phenomenon so that students can identify the meaning of social integration and actual examples of social integration in the surrounding environment and the driving factors of social integration. The average pretest score was 52, and the average posttest score was 86. This study was analyzed using David Ausubel's meaningful learning theory. The data analysis techniques used were normality, homogeneity, and paired t-tests. Normality test and homogeneity test function as test requirements to find out whether the t-test data analysis can be continued or not. In contrast, the paired t-test is used to determine the difference between samples after and before using the live worksheet-based e-LKPD. To measure the effectiveness in this study using SPSS 22 with normality test results of 0.43, homogeneity test results of 0.68 proven sig value. > 0.05 means that the data is usually distributed and homogeneous so that the T-test can be carried out, and the T-test results are 0.00, which proves the sig value. <0.05 so that H0 is rejected, which means that there are differences in students' sociological learning outcomes. So it can be concluded that using Liveworksheet-based worksheets effectively improves student learning outcomes.

Faktor-Faktor Penyebab Rendahnya Karakter Disiplin Siswa Kelas X IPS di SMA Negeri 1 Junjung Sirih
Authors: Ananda Ghandy Putra , Nora Desri
Published: September 2022

This research is motivated by the occurrence of various problems with the character of discipline in SMA Negeri 1 Junjung Sirih, especially among students of class X Social Sciences. Problems with the character of discipline, such as students not obeying the rules that apply at school and the low attendance list of class X IPS students during the Covid-19 pandemic. This makes the researcher ask what factors cause the low discipline character of class X IPS students at SMA Negeri 1 Junjung Sirih. The study aimed to explain the factors causing the low discipline character of class X Social Studies students of SMA Negeri 1 Junjung Sirih. To analyze the problem of this research, the researcher used Structural Functional Theory from Talcott Parsons to analyze this research. The research method used is a qualitative method with the type of case study, and the informant selection technique uses purposive sampling with a total of 16 informants. In-depth interviews carry out data collection, observations, and documents—data analysis using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis technique. Based on the results of the research that the researchers got at SMA Negeri 1 Junjung Sirih, it can be concluded that the factors causing the low character of students' discipline are internal factors such as the lack of awareness of students and low self-motivation of students. In contrast, the external factors are teacher factors such as socialization. Regulations to students, habits, and character of teacher discipline in schools, and inconsistent teachers in giving punishment to students, while environmental factors are the school environment that has not been fully fenced, and road access to schools is less supportive.
THE POLITICAL ROLE OF THE ORTHODOX CLERGY IN THE UNION OF THE ROMANIAN PRINCIPALITIES (1859)
Authors: BOICU Dragoș
Published: September 2022

The union of the Romanian Principalities was a decisive moment in the history and evolution of the modern Romanian state, but its realization cannot be separated from the actions of the bishops and clergy, who were co-opted in the electoral process from the very beginning. The activity of the clergy was not strictly limited to the bureaucratic management of the elections but revealed a set of political beliefs, actively supporting the idea of Romanians’ national unity. This paper aims to insist on the political partisanship of the clergy respectively, on the immediate consequences of their involvement in political life.
FAMILY AS THE CHURCH IN MINIATURE: A PANACEA TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN CHRISTIAN FAMILIES IN AFRICA
Authors: KIBOI John Michael
Published: September 2022

Observably, many African Christians, on church-going days, put on reverend moods and are kind towards one another, both at home and at the Church premises. It is not uncommon that these same Christians are violent the rest of the week, treating members of their families unkindly. This shows how much the church is revered as a holy institution. This is the problem of sacred-secular dichotomy; between the church and worshipping days versus away from the church and non-worshipping days. Therefore, we argue that if the human institution –the family, is understood as God’s own instituted basic unit of the church and therefore holy, peace will prevail among its members. The approach applies the principle of analogia entis to argue that the human family is God’s family in the same manner we speak of the church as the Family of God since both are prefigured in God’s eternal plan. In this research, the anthropological data is gathered by non-probability sampling.
La política de México en torno a las armas de fuego: “¿candil de la calle, oscuridad de la casa?”
Authors: Ben Hamo Yeger Moshe , Pérez Ricart Carlos A.
Published: September 2022

El artículo trata el tema de la (muy activa) política exterior de México en torno a la regulación de las armas de fuego y la falta de cumplimiento interno de varios de los tratados que la cancillería impulsa en foros multilaterales alrededor de este tema. Como hipótesis principal, se propone que la brecha entre la política exterior activa y la falta de medidas a nivel interno se explica por la resistencia de actores internos y la ausencia de una política de Estado articulada y coherente en torno a las armas a nivel federal. Si bien la cancillería ha adoptado una política activista y protagónica sobre el tema, ésta se inscribe más bien en la tradición diplomática que favorece el desarme, la no proliferación y la solución pacífica de los conflictos. Se argumenta que las recientes acciones diplomáticas que han respondido al tráfico ilícito de armas han sido iniciativas aisladas de la cancillería. Además de contribuir a la literatura sobre la interacción entre la política exterior y la política interna en torno a las armas de fuego (tema que ha recibido atención insuficiente), el propósito de este texto es presentar un análisis integral de la política del Estado mexicano sobre este tema, incluyendo sus contradicciones y áreas de oportunidad.
Malvinas, una guerra que no para de contarse
Authors: Svetliza Exequiel
Published: September 2022

Mientras transcurrían las batallas finales de la guerra de Malvinas en junio de 1982, Rodolfo Fogwill inaugura el relato del conflicto bélico en la ficción con su novela Los Pichiciegos (1983). Esa es la obra fundacional de una tradición literaria que reescribe el episodio histórico a contramano de la épica heroica y de los grandes relatos nacionales. Se trata de un prolífico corpus narrativo que, con diferentes modulaciones, tonos y estéticas, se continúa escribiendo hasta nuestros días y que busca deconstuir las distintas representaciones de la identidad nacional.
cine argentino y Malvinas
Authors: Herrscher Roberto
Published: September 2022

Este texto se encuentra en línea con la idea de la doctora en Literatura Julieta Vitullo quien señala que Malvinas es un malestar en la conciencia nacional al que el discurso político no puede enfrentarse, pero la literatura sí. Aquí se expande esa idea más allá y se rastrea los distintos modos en que el cine ha encarado las incomodidades que generan la guerra de 1982 y su larga y difícil posguerra. Las representaciones de la dictadura, la voluntad y la posibilidad de escuchar al otro, y las formas de construcción de la memoria son tres de los ejes para revisar seis películas filmadas en distintas décadas de los últimos cuarenta años que, puestas en diálogo, nos ofrecen una importante serie de matices para pensar el vínculo de las islas con el cine argentino, donde hay tanto de lo no dicho en la discusión pública sobre el tema.

Isolated Bridgeless PFC Converter Based on Active-Clamped SEPIC
Authors:   Shanghai University, Wu Deliang
Published: September 2022

A new isolated bridgeless PFC converter based on active-clamped SEPIC is proposed. Compared to conventional active-clamped SEPIC PFC converter, the proposed converter reduces conduction loss by removing two diodes in the line current path, while preserving the advantages of the active-clamped SEPIC such as zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and active voltage clamp for all the high frequency switches, soft turn-off of the output diodes and well damped control-to-input-current response. In addition, the peak voltage stress on the output diode is inherently clamped by the center-tapped transformer configuration. Experimental results from a 3.3 kW prototype verified the operation of the converter and demonstrated peak efficiency of 97.26% with 140 kHz switching frequency. The power density of the single-phase PFC module is 101 W/in3.
Multi-Constraint Optimization and Co-Design of a 2-MHz All-GaN Based 700 W 95.6% Efficient LLC Converter
Authors:   Arizona State University, Jolly Nitish
Published: September 2022

This paper analyzes and develops a multi-variable & multi-constraint design optimization approach with the goal of minimizing power losses in a 2 MHz LLC resonant converter for next-generation data center applications. For a thorough co- design of a multi-MHz resonant converter, intricately curated performance constraints and associated design-based trade-offs are presented. In addition, accurate characterization, and parametric minimization of the AC resistance by optimal selection of transformer winding configuration, while achieving a controllable leakage flux for the resonant inductor integration into the high frequency planar transformer (HFPT) thereby reducing the effective winding losses by 6%. An all-GaN based 700 W, high power density (6.2 W/cm3) experimental proof-of-concept was built for a conversion from a variable input bus voltage (380–420 V) to 12 V stiff output at a resonant frequency of 2 MHz. The results portrayed a steady state peak efficiency of 95.65%, with an improvement of 2.2% over the state-of-the-art (SOA) operable at MHz frequency
Analysis and Design of Cascaded DC-DC Converter Based Battery Energy Storage System With Distributed Multimode Control in Data Center Application
Authors:   Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Yang Jiatao
Published: September 2022

Cascaded Isolated DC-DC Converters (IDCs) is a popular topology for battery energy storage system in data center application with the advantage of galvanic isolation, higher efficiency and independent control capability. However, the absence of normal operation under unbalance conditions among battery modules is a big issue. To this end, considering the voltage-power relationship and limited voltage gain of IDC, a distributed multimode control is proposed in this paper. Each IDC can be switched flexibly between multiple operation modes to extend the range of system optimization operation. Individual power regulation and autonomous distribution of output voltage are achieved without real-time communication under the proposed control strategy. Meanwhile, boundary operation conditions are analyzed in detail. Furthermore, a parameter design procedure for cascaded IDCs based battery energy storage system is also proposed considering the upper/lower gain limits of IDCs and three kinds of boundary operation conditions. In this way, modular design is achieved and the operation efficiency and robustness are improved. A simulation system and a down-scaled experimental system is constructed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
A Switched-Capacitor Multilevel Inverter Using Series-Parallel Conversion With Reduced Components
Authors:   Zhengzhou University, Wang Yaoqiang
Published: September 2022

The switched-capacitor multilevel inverters (SCMLIs) are the popular type of multilevel inverter. This kind of inverter topology uses the on-off states of switches to control the charging and discharging of capacitors to achieve multilevel output. Most SCMLIs make use of an H-bridge structure to change the polarity of the output voltage, which cause the switches to withstand the peak of the output voltage. The H-bridge is replaced by two half-bridges on both sides of the proposed inverters, and the maximum voltage stress (MVS) on switches in half bridge is kept within 2Vdc, as well as in the extended structure. Therefore, the voltage stress of the switches is greatly reduced. In addition, the topology has a modular structure, which makes the expansion and modulation of the topology simple, while achieving a higher voltage gain. Moreover, with the growth of output levels, the MVS of the switches in the topology remains unchanged, which has good practical application scenarios. In this study, the correctness and feasibility of the topology have been verified by experiments.
Hacia una teoría de los artefactos como realizadores
Authors: Parente Diego , Vaccari Andrés
Published: September 2022

Este trabajo presenta el esquema básico de una “teoría de los realizadores”, una propuesta programática que busca establecer una alternativa al modelo dominante en los debates actuales sobre la ontología de los artefactos. Nuestra posición es que podemos comprender mejor el mundo artificial si nos acercamos a los artefactos en términos de "realizadores" y sus correspondientes "realizaciones" en lugar de como objetos esencialmente "funcionales". Con este objetivo en mente, el artículo desarrolla en primer lugar la caracterización de los artefactos como "realizadores" y, en segundo lugar, defiende esa idea en el contexto de la ontología de los artefactos y otras discusiones en filosofía de la tecnología. La última sección reconstruye a nuestros adversarios intelectuales: una serie de dualismos que estructuran los debates actuales tales como materialidad-función, material-simbólico, estructura-función. Sostenemos que la teoría de los realizadores / realizaciones puede superar estos dualismos dominantes y ofrecer una versión mucho más rica de la vida de los artefactos.
La imagen como documento para una historia de la cultura
Authors: Montesinos Castañeda María , Baixauli Raquel
Published: September 2022

Este texto tiene como objetivo desarrollar una serie de propuestas prácticas para introducir los contenidos indispensables del método iconográfico-iconológico en el análisis y estudio de la imagen. Para ello, se parte de la experiencia docente de las asignaturas ‘Introducción a la Historia del Arte’ y ‘Análisis e Interpretación de la Imagen’, materias de formación básica impartidas en el primer curso de los grados en Historia e Historia del Arte de la Universitat de València. Desde su implantación en el marco del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) se planteó como un reto el poder trasladar en dos semestres las nociones básicas en cuanto al estudio de la imagen como documento para una historia cultural. De este modo, las presentes propuestas didácticas tratan de aproximarse al objeto artístico tratando diferentes temas, desde las disciplinas artísticas, hasta la forma y el significado. Para ello, se organiza el discurso explicativo de la visualidad en torno a tres aspectos clave: la localización de la obra, el análisis formal y la aproximación al significado. Siguiendo este proceso, el estudiantado aprende a realizar una lectura descodificada del lenguaje artístico a través del análisis de sus elementos, aproximándose así al contenido y significado de la visualidad. Por lo tanto, las guías didácticas, además de guiar el proceso de aprendizaje, facilitan la comprensión y aplicación práctica del contenido.
La coordinación del profesorado ante el reto de la docencia en pandemia
Authors: Monzón Pertejo Elena
Published: September 2022

El eje central de reflexión en el presente texto reside en la importancia de la coordinación del profesorado ante el desafío que ha supuesto la docencia durante la pandemia por el COVID. Para ello se toman dos casos concretos: uno de docencia en posgrado (Máster Propio en Análisis y Autentificación de Obras de Arte) y otro de docencia en grado (Seminarios de cultura visual para los grados de Historia e Historia del Arte), ambos impartidos en la Facultat de Geografia i Història de la Universitat de València. Con la experiencia surgida de estos dos casos, se plantean las modificaciones que se tuvieron que realizar con el abrupto cambio a la docencia online. Para la buena adaptación se muestra como fundamental el trabajo en equipo del profesorado así como las modificaciones que se llevaron a cabo para no alterar, en la medida de lo posible, el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el contexto de la pandemia mundial. En este sentido, se hace hincapié no sólo en las decisiones tomadas a la hora de crear materiales y en la organización de las sesiones, sino también en la importancia del trabajo cooperativo tanto del profesorado como del alumnado. Del mismo modo, se muestran las problemáticas surgidas así como la importancia de la flexibilidad y constante adaptación a la nueva situación.

En la parte final del artículo, se ofrece una valoración global del proyecto en la que se subraya el estudio de las imágenes femeninas del pasado no sólo para visibilizar su presencia en las sociedades de la Antigüedad, sino también para reflexionar sobre la creación de estereotipos sobre las mujeres.
Tra utopia e alteritá
Authors: Voltan Eleonora
Published: September 2022

A partire dal III secolo a.C. si delinea in maniera più nitida quella feconda ma, al tempo stesso, ambivalente relazione tra Egitto e Roma. Con la stipula del trattato di amicitia nell’anno 273 a.C., appaiono sempre più evidenti le ripercussioni sul piano politico, culturale, economico e religioso sul suolo italico. Peculiare interesse riveste anche il ruolo della produzione artistica generata dall’incontro-scontro tra il mondo romano e quello egiziano. In particolare, l’interesse di questo contributo è indirizzato verso l’elaborazione del paesaggio ispirato alla terra del Nilo nella produzione pittorica romana di I secolo d.C. La delineazione di questa tipologia iconografica si fonda su alcuni dettagli figurativi specifici, tra cui quelli legati al mondo della flora e della fauna. Un insieme di elementi che, fondendosi armoniosamente insieme, conducono verso la configurazione di un’ambientazione naturale tesa ad un’ideale di fluttuante utopia che, tuttavia, collide con l’insita portata di alterità dell’immaginario nilotico. Un’alterità fortemente vincolata alla presenza dei pigmei, figure contraddistinte nella maggior parte dei casi da tratti caricaturali e grotteschi, inseriti spesso in situazioni comiche, se non paradossali. Obiettivo del presente articolo è quello di mettere in luce la relazione chiaroscurale tra la “natura” costituente il paesaggio nilotico, ovvero la flora e la fauna tipica, riflesso di una cristallizzata utopia naturalistica, e l’elemento umano, in questo caso i pigmei, sinonimo di alterità per antonomasia, concretizzazione non tanto di una realtà esistente quanto più di uno status estraneo ai limiti del tempo e dello spazio umanamente concepiti.
The titers, duration, and residual clinical protection of passively transferred nasal and serum antibodies are similar among beef calves that nursed colostrum from vaccinated or unvaccinated dams and were challenged experimentally with bovine respiratory syncytial virus at three months of age

OBJECTIVES

To compare initial titers, duration, and residual clinical protection of passively transferred bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) nasal immunoglobulin (Ig) G-1 and IgA, and serum neutralizing (SN) antibodies.

ANIMALS

40 three-month-old beef steers born either to unvaccinated or vaccinated cows.

PROCEDURES

During the last trimester of gestation, cows were assigned randomly to either vaccinated or unvaccinated groups. Calves were grouped on the basis of whether they nursed colostrum from unvaccinated dams (NO-VACC group; n = 20) versus dams vaccinated with 2 doses of an inactivated BRSV vaccine (VACC group; n = 20). At 3 months of age, calves were challenged with BRSV. Respiratory signs were scored. Nasal BRSV IgG-1 and IgA and SN antibodies were compared before and after the challenge. The presence of BRSV in nasal secretions was evaluated by reverse transcription-PCR assays.

RESULTS

Respiratory scores after BRSV challenge were similar between treatment groups. Nasal BRSV IgG-1 and SN antibodies were significantly greater in VACC calves at 48 hours of life; however, by 3 months of age, titers had decayed in both groups. Nasal BRSV IgA titers were minimal after colostrum intake and before the BRSV challenge, and increased in both groups after the challenge. The NO-VACC group had a significantly greater probability of shedding BRSV compared with VACC calves.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

At 3 months of age, titers of passively transferred BRSV antibodies in VACC and NO-VACC calves had decayed to nonprotective levels. Calves born to vaccinated dams had a decreased probability of BRSV shedding; however, this was not related to differences in SN or nasal BRSV antibody titers.

Published: September 2022

A 3 × 3 factorial study was conducted in the southern province of Sri Lanka to compare two cultivars of Napier hybrid grass, CO-3 and CO-4, and fodder sorghum (var. sugar graze) at three cutting intervals (4, 6, and 8 weeks) during a 2-year period. For cultivars, plant height followed the order sugar graze > CO-4 > CO-3, while the stem diameter was greater for CO-3, followed by CO-4 and sugar graze. Number of leaves was always greater in hybrid Napier compared with sugar graze. Cultivar had a significant effect on annual dry matter (ADM) production (CO-3 > CO-4 > sugar graze) during both years. Sugar graze had a higher crude protein (CP) and a lower crude fiber (CF) concentration compared to CO-3 or CO-4. Cutting interval also had a significant effect on ADM production and CF concentration, with higher values obtained in the following order: 8 weeks > 6 weeks > 4 weeks. The results revealed that cultivars CO-3 and CO-4 were superior in overall DM and CP yields while Sugar graze performed equally well with highest CP and lowest CF concentrations while cutting interval of 8 weeks appears optimal for the environmental conditions in the area.

Die in Nordamerika heimische Dreilappige Papau (Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal) wird aufgrund ihres Potenzials als Ziergehölz, Fruchtpflanze und als Quelle wichtiger Sekundärprodukte mit Antitumor- und Pestizideigenschaften zunehmend geschätzt. Sie erfreut sich wachsender Beliebtheit in Gärtnereien und Baumschulen, vor allem als solitäres Obstgehölz für den Hausgarten, aber auch als Kuriosität in Obstbaubetrieben und in der Gourmetküche. Die Art ist wenig anfällig für Schädlinge oder Krankheiten und trägt Früchte mit einem einzigartigen Geschmack. Das Fruchtfleisch hat einen hohen Nährwert, ist reich an den Vitaminen A, B3 und C, Eiweiß und Mineralien, und kann als ausgezeichnete Quelle für Eisen, Kalium, Kalzium, Magnesium und Phosphor angesehen werden. Diese Mikronährstoffe fehlen häufig in der Ernährung von Kindern und Senioren.
Beardsley Movement in the Russian Silver Age Culture
Authors: Ryabchenko-Shats V. D.
Published: September 2022

The article dwells on the phenomenon of Russian Beardsleism, which was formed by the influence of the works and personality of the English graphic artist Aubrey Beardsley on the Russian intellectual society at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries. Being the brightest representative of English aestheticism and Art Nouveau, Aubrey Beardsley became a champion of the ideas of new art for Russia. In his homeland, Aubrey Beardsley managed to make a real revolution in the field of illustration and book graphics, separating them into independent elements of creativity and raising the art of graphics to a completely new, unprecedently high level. No less revolutionary was the behavior of the artist — Aubrey Beardsley turned his life into art, postulating innovative aesthetic and philosophical aspirations by his very appearance. The worth of his personality was undoubtedly comparable to the worth of his works, and one became inseparable from the other. Thus, the very image of Aubrey Beardsley became a symbol of the Art Nouveau era, containing a lot of complex concepts. Therefore, no wonder that the sphere of influence of this master in Russia was extremely wide — not limited only to the field of graphics, it extended from new artistic methods up to the lifestyle and demeanor. The significance of Beardsleism in the Russian artistic life of the turn of the centuries is also indicated by its scope — the most prominent figures of the Silver Age, such as S. Diaghilev, L. Bakst, N. Feofilaktov, and rather obscure A. Silin, A. Arapov and M. Durnov — both those and others experienced a significant influence of Aubrey Beardsley on their works and life.
Traditions of German Expressionism in the Cinematography of the Second Half of the 20th – Early 21st Centuries
Authors: Radaeva E. A.
Published: September 2022

The subject of this study is the influence of the traditions of German expressionism on modern cinema, primarily the horror genre. The relevance of this work is due to the need to study the genesis of modern trends in one of the most popular types of art and its popular genres in the context of cultural history in terms of allusions and reminiscences, traditions and innovation. In order to prove that the traditions of expressionism are clearly traced to this day and promise to be quite productive in the long run, as well as to trace the nature of their presence in the history of the film industry, in line with the culturological approach, the method of comparative historical and historical situational analysis, as well as content analysis was mainly used regarding cinematography of the period under consideration. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the very prism of the study and its object — the films of 2021–2022 were considered in terms of traditions of expressionist aesthetics; in addition, the article presents a slightly different view on the masterpieces that have become classics of the cinema of the 20th century. As a result, it was revealed that the expressionist concept of man and the world is strong in the artistic world of cinema art of this period. The methods of German filmmakers of the beginning of the previous century were continued in a somewhat modified form at the level of the play of light and shadow, framing, the figurative system itself (vampires, homunculi, ghosts), mechanistic acting, sinister paraphernalia, and deceitful details. The common denominator of foreign and domestic films of all the genres and subgenres considered in the article was the use of a special musical setting — music that originates from the new Viennese school (in other words, musical expressionism), which also confirms the theory put forward.

Temporary Scheme of Modern Jihadism
Authors: Suleimenov A. R.
Published: September 2022

Based on the propaganda materials of the international terrorist organization Islamic State*, the article examines the temporal scheme and the historical narrative of jihadist propaganda. Studies of the politics of memory and historical narratives of organizations of radical Islamism are practically absent due to the inaccessibility of the source base. This study is based on the official jihadist propaganda materials coming from the propaganda bodies of the Islamic State*, and on the corpus of sources of spontaneous propaganda of supporters of radical Islamism. Due to the extremely different socio-cultural basis of its supporters, jihadist propaganda is forced to operate not with an integral narrative, but rather with a set of plots, building a discrete narrative about the past. These plots correspond to the ethnic myth scheme proposed by Smith A. D. Despite the fact that modern jihadism is not an ethnic community due to the orientation towards internationalism and universalism of the dogma, the commonality of religious and, more importantly, political ideas make it possible to analyze the historical narrative of radical Islamism from the point of view of an ethnosymbolic approach. The study of representations of the past, characteristic of a modern jihadists, is carried out because of the types of cultural memory identified by Jan Assman. The study main historical points fixing the temporal scheme of the Islamic State*; and some stable ideas about the past of Islamic civilization, characteristic of jihadist propaganda. Of particular interest is the mythology of the centuries-old global conspiracy against the Muslim Ummah, which is in many ways the key concept of the jihadist narrative, as well as the eschatological representations of jihadist propaganda.
Human Rights Mechanisms in Latin America from the Perspective of Intersection of Regional and Universal Human Rights Concepts
Authors: Sheremet N. A.
Published: September 2022

The article analyzes the intersection of universal and regional human rights concepts in Latin America. The regional approach to human rights protection has been proposed by anthropologists who argue that cultural relativism is the basis for the development of the concept of human rights protection. The evolution of human rights is examined by scholars through the prism of both cultural relativism and universalism. While proponents of the first approach assert the importance of cultural and civilizational particularities, proponents of universalism promote the idea of universal morality. The novelty of this study lies in the examination of a different academic approach to human rights protection that encompasses features of both of the aforementioned concepts in order to provide a more objective picture of the current state of the system of human rights protection. The interaction of these concepts is demonstrated through the example of the system for the protection of women's rights in Latin America, as well as of the rights of other vulnerable groups such as indigenous peoples. This leads to the conclusion that both the universalist and the regionalist approaches to human rights protection are mutually supportive. Furthermore, universal and local moral systems borrow elements from each other despite the contradictions between them. In general, the interaction between universalization and regionalization of human rights is clearly visible in Latin America. The elaboration of a new approach that incorporates the features of the two old ones is necessary in order to better understand this process, since human rights protection is acquiring new features that fit into the so-called paradigm of relative universalism. An explanatory model to account for this phenomenon is needed for better understanding of the common patterns of the process.

Authors: ITYGILOVA Elena Yu.
Published: September 2022

Subject. This article deals with the issues of interpretation of scientific accounting terms Business Operation Item and Accounting Event, and the development of their theoretical content.
Objectives. The article aims to reconsider the term Business Operation Item, clarify the boundaries of its application and justification, taking into account the eventuality of the causes of its occurrence in the activities of the enterprise.
Methods. For the study, I used formal and logical methods, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison, and analogy.
Results. The article presents an interpretation of the concept of Business Operation Item, taking into account the eventuality of the enterprise's life, defines the criterion for attributing events to the facts of economic life, the mechanism of influence of facts and events on accounting statements, their past, present and future state.
Conclusions and Relevance. Modern accounting is not focused on prospective assessments of the company's activities, is not related to the concept of economic development and forecasting. In this sense, the definition of the term Business Operation Item taking into account past, present and future events is an urgent issue. The results of the study can be used in the theoretical and practical adaptation of international financial reporting standards to domestic accounting traditions, as well as in order to develop accounting practices in the light of current and future events that affect the financial position, financial results and cash flow of the enterprise.

Subject. This article examines the economic essence of inflation, its impact on the activities of companies in the Syrian Arab Republic, the indicators of financial reporting and the adjustment of its data taking into account hyperinflation on the basis of the provisions of IAS 29.
Objectives. The article aims to study the effects of inflation on the Syrian economy, identify and solve the problems of forming financial reporting in the conditions of constantly rising prices and reducing the purchasing power of the monetary unit as a result of hyperinflation.
Methods. For the study, we used the methods of observation, comparison, generalization, and interpretation.
Results. The article describes the impact of inflation on the economic activities of Syrian companies. It shows that in a hyperinflationary environment, financial reporting based on historical value is unreliable, misleading to users, and causes difficulties in making management decisions.
Conclusions and Relevance. The article confirms the hypothesis about the positive impact of the adoption of IAS 29 on the formation of financial reporting and on the analysis of its indicators in the event of hyperinflation. The significance of the study lies in the substantiation of the position that the ongoing negative changes in economic conditions caused by hyperinflation require adjustments to the indicators of reporting compiled on the basis of historical data.
