Practicing interdisciplinarity
Authors: Messer Jane
Published: December 2021

Practice-led research is inherently interdisciplinary, with practitioners engaging with a range of

knowledges and methods through processes of selection, integration and synthesis. Claims are

made for the unique qualities of both the creative arts artefacts produced through this practice,

and for the research approaches used by creative researchers. However, a substantial amount

of ‘genre blurring’ (Geertz 1980) is occurring within the humanities and social sciences, with

researchers outside of the creative arts utilizing creative practices and incorporating creative

products in their research. Further, the history of interdisciplinary research reaches back to as

early as the 1920s (Klein 1996) and is not subsequent to the rise of practice-led research in

academe. Seen in this context, what can practice-led research claim as its own, and is there a

benefit to conceptualising it as part of the ‘interdisciplinary turn’ (Geertz 1980)?
How Do Social Networks Have Become the “Panacea” or “Protective Firepower” of Flood Victims? A Case of Community Flood Disaster Management in Sri Lanka
Authors: Y. KARUNARATHNA Ananda
Published: December 2021

Social support networks have been become one of the mostly influential metaphors in many areas around the world, especially in terms of mitigating disaster consequences and revivifying disaster affected livelihoods. More importantly, reciprocal supports ties are more powerful in healing disaster wounds of communities. Especially social capital legacies enrich by reciprocal support networks by the ways in which making may hopes among disaster victims. In this context, the objective of this study is to investigate the social support network behaviors in supporting 16 flood-affected households in the mass flooding event occurred in 2017. Particularly, the study researched social support network behaviors at different flood inundation phases such as before, during, and after. This study collected primary data (mainly social network data) using household survey and filed observations. The study used the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method for the network data analysis. This article shows that flood affected households have received social network supports in different magnitudes at before, during, and after flood inundation phases. More importantly, provision of foods, water and basic needs, sheltering, clearing contaminated households, and emotional supports have mobilized and reciprocated among victims in reviving their livelihoods. The social support network legacies have evolved at different flood inundation phases. This study fills the gabs in the flood disaster discourse on Sri Lankan context.

Authors: Dimitrov Nikolay , Nakov Radoslav
Published: December 2021

The paper outlines recent results from estimation of 23 years GPS measurements on the geodynamic network around Sofia. The obtained result, clearly provide new more accurate GPS geodynamic data on the considered area. All velocities clearly exceed 1.5–2 mm/y reaching up to 3–4 mm/y. As a general tendency the velocities tend to increase from North to South. According to the new results analysis of geological processes is given. The newly acquired velocities from three campaigns 1997, 2000 and 2020 years confirm that the general tendency of movement of the stations in the region of Central West Bulgaria is in the south direction with respect to stable Eurasia. The velocities tend to increase from north to south. This pattern is in agreement with the extensive movement of southern Bulgaria and northern Greece. The new results provide much better accuracy, reliability and local details.

Outdoor Recreation and Rural Transitions in Central Appalachia: Revisiting the Economic Impact of Rock Climbing in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge
Authors: Maples James , Bradley Michael
Published: December 2021

Kentucky’s Red River Gorge is a popular rock climbing destination located amid longstanding poverty in America’s Central Appalachian region. Climbing represents an important part of the outdoor recreation economy and may provide one alternative to mono-economic extractive industry dependency in this region. This study examines the economic impact of climbing in the Red utilizing an online survey of rock climbers and economic impact methodology. The survey examines expenditures in lodging, food purchases, travel, retail purchases, and services. The survey also collected visitation and demographics data. The authors estimate climbers spend $8.7 million annually (up from $3.8 million in 2015) and support over 100 jobs in some of the poorest counties in the region and nation. The study reiterates previous findings indicating climbers are well-educated with incomes higher than those typically found in this region. The study’s results help reframe the value of climbing’s economic impact in rural transitional economies throughout Central Appalachia. These findings also raise policy implications regarding public land access and reducing climber environmental impacts on public lands.

Therefore, this article is dedicated to the procedure regarding the hospitalization of the person in the medical institution, on the basis of grounds and reasons on which the hospitalization can take place, the attribution of the criminal investigation body and the prosecutor in cases when there is a need to hospitalize the person.
Internal limitations of liability and criminal irresponsibility and persons in the state of affect
Authors:   Universitatea Liberă Internaţională din Moldova, Şomicu Marcela
Published: December 2021

The explanatory dictionary of the Romanian Language offers the following definition of the notion of affect: emotional reaction with a strong and relatively short development. The notion of affect comes from the Latin affectionus, which has the meaning of emotional emotion, horror. Although the legislator does not indicate the types of affect, at the same time in psychology it is considered that it manifests itself under several types. The most common are anger, hatred, horror, fear (and its most intensified form - nightmare, contempt). The appearance of one or another type of affect is in an interdependence on the physiological mechanisms, on the character of the person, as well as on the complex of other internal and external factors. Thus, for the correct appreciation of the actions committed in a state of affect, it is necessary to establish in detail the type of affect, the reason, its causes, the form of guilt, etc. When differentiating the diagnosis of pathological and physiological affections, it is necessary to keep in mind that these are different conditions, although they have an accumulation of common characteristic traits. The common elements of the physiological and pathological affections are attributed to a short duration; sudden onset; emotional reaction; explosive flow; sudden onset; strong emotional discharge; mental and physical exhaustion; partial amnesia.

Mediation has represented and represents an alternative for state justice that impartially solves a conflict between two parties. Mediation used to exist from the early times of the civilization, and in the form we see it nowadays appeared in Europe ‘90s through the American way, as through Directive CE / 52/2008 of the European Parliament, all the Member States needed to take steps in including the mediation in civil and commercial cases where issues appear most frequently related to the parties’ affiliation to different and cross-border legal systems. In Romania, the mediation institution operates based on Law no. 196/2006 in regards to mediation and mediator profession, and in the Republic of Moldova based on Law no. 137/2015 in regards to mediation. We consider that analyzing the history of the mediation institution could help strengthen citizens’ trust in this way of resolving voluntary and alternative disputes through a mediator.
Legal nature of social assistance benefits provided to persons at risk
Authors:   Universitatea de Stat din Comrat, Republica Moldova, Sacara Ana
Published: December 2021

Social assistance is an important link in the national social protection system, through which the state is committed to protecting and supporting people and families who are at risk or vulnerable. The nature of the vulnerability depends on poor material condition, physical and health status, family status (single-parent families, orphans), exposure to situations of violence, etc. To prevent and annihilate social risks, state institutions with social functions provide citizens in need with a range of social benefits to alleviate existing inequalities, normal integration into society and regain their autonomy. In this article, we will identify the problems of the social benefits system, which make the purpose and objectives of providing these monetary supports remain purely ideological, because they do not ensure a visible improvement in living conditions. In the author’s opinion, the state’s social policy must be aimed at combating in time the causes that lead to the risk of poverty, and not get involved post factum, when a large part of our citizens are in a situation of absolute poverty. In this context, it is found that all reforms, policies, and budgetary decisions, regardless of the field they regulate (education, agriculture, economy, construction), negatively or positively influence the well-being of the family, and must be directed towards the healthy development of families in the Republic of Moldova.

The serious state of affairs in the field of road safety determines the firm intervention of the state in order to prevent and combat effectively, in particular, the acts of drunk driving, which has proven to be one of the main causes of road accidents. In this context, the state established liability for this type of deviant behavior, criminalizing in article 233 of the Contraventional Code of the Republic of Moldova the acts of driving a vehicle in a state of alcohol with a minimum degree or handing over the vehicle to a person who is in a state of drunkenness. An in-depth analysis of the structure and content of Article 233 of the Contravention Code allowed us to form the opinion that the author of the legal norm was poorly inspired, admitted several errors and technical-legislative deficiencies, neglected the basic requirements that must comply with the normative acts. This caused misinterpretation and misapplication of the law.

Artistic culture: new dimensions of a person (a plurality of identifications in time moving simultaneously in all directions)
Authors:   National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, Kornienko Nelly
Published: December 2021

The author considers artistic culture as a subject of synergetics and pre-quantum / quantum culture. The author’s reflections are in the field of searching theater, literature, performative art, and cinema. The theater of the future is the research subject, a “scientific” project. The level of the theater rises by an order of magnitude to its surpassing scenarios. Universalism, or rather, trans-professionalism, is becoming an indispensable component of the future artistic process. The leader, the Scientist–Researcher–Poet (Artist), becomes of current interest. The stage works by Castellucci, Suzuki, music by Scott Gibbons and others have modeled this future. Time moves simultaneously in all directions refuting the laws of classical physics. The trajectory of movement indicates quantum measurements. Faulkner, Joyce, Proust, Andre Gide, John Dos Passos, Rilke successfully polemicize with physics. The new dimensions of a person imply a plurality of identifications. Calvino – “The Cloven Viscount”.
The influenza pandemic in colonial Asante: Lesson drawing for the fight against COVID-19 in the twenty-first century

This paper pays attention to colonial strategies that were deployed to fight against the influenza pandemic among the Asante of Ghana. It does a comparative analysis of the outbreak and mode of spread of COVID-19 and influenza pandemics in Ghana and Asante, in particular. Based on the theory of lesson-drawing, the authors aimed to ascertain whether the strategies adopted to fight the current COVID-19 pandemic reminisce the earlier strategies deployed during the influenza pandemic of 1918. Based on primary and secondary data, the authors have constructed a history which proffers some insights into the fight against COVID-19. Authors conclude that the various health interventions toward the prevention and control of influenza in Asante during the colonial period were skewed in favour of Europeans and natives who worked within the colonial civil service. This did not support relevant strategies and efforts to reduce the spread of the disease at a faster pace. Despite several efforts made to curtail the spread of the disease, the colonial administration together with traditional authorities encountered challenges of inadequate health personnel, culture conflict, financial. The role of security agencies and the collaboration between the colonial administration and traditional authorities offer a very significant lesson for confronting the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana.
Nutrition of children in orphanages in the Moldavian SSR (1944–1947)
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Dolghi Adrian
Published: December 2021

In this article, we elucidate the problem of providing food products to orphanages in the Moldavian SSR in the years 1944–1947. The research found that the expansion of the orphanage network in the MSSR in the post-war years was due to the social policy of reducing the number of wandering and orphaned children suffering from hunger. The number of orphanages increased during the famine, and gradually decreased after its overcoming. The controls carried out by the authorities in the field of education and healthcare found serious gaps in the process of providing food to orphanages, irregularities in the management of products and even abuse of staff towards children. These realities aggravated the situation of children in orphanages, who were affected by the difficult family situation, famine and precarious conditions in institutions. Survivors’ testimonies show that most of the orphans who were taken to orphanages were rescued from starvation, and in some cases, when taken by relatives for maintenance, they died. The archive documents, but also the testimonies of the survivors show that the difficult situation of the children in the post-war years, the starvation, the vagrancy, the increase in the number of orphaned children, etc. were a consequence of the totalitarian politics and the irresponsibility of the local authorities.

Maternity and baptismal rites of the Lipovans of the Republic of Moldova
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Zaicovschi Tatiana
Published: December 2021

In this article, based on interviews with informants from settlements of the Republic of Moldova with a compact residence of Old Believers (Lipovans), the features of the maternity and baptismal rituals in their environment are presented. The maternity and baptismal cycle contains a number of successive stages, including the customs and rituals that precede childbirth, the birth itself, as well as the subsequent stages associated with purification and socialization. The origins of the belief about the contradictory character of the female nature, inherent in ancient views of the world, originate in the concept of her duality, which is associated with the rites of passage. In order to prevent the influence of the otherworldly sphere, traditional culture prescribes a woman to observe the prohibitions associated with ritual impurity. Along with this, there are also regulations designed to protect the mother and child from manifestations of evil forces. The article describes the prohibitions and prescriptions for a pregnant and giving birth woman, the relationship of the latter with a midwife, the peculiarities of the choice of godparents among the Old Believers. The customs and ceremonies associated with the birth of a child are aimed at: 1) preserving the life and health of the woman in labor and of the baby, 2) eliminating the danger of the transition period. The author reveals the attitude of the respondents to popular beliefs.

Authors:   Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, Russian Federation, Golant Natalia , Ryzhova Maria ,   Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, Russian Federation
Published: December 2021

The article discusses the lexical borrowings from the Serbian language in the incantations of Vlachs (Romanians) from Eastern Serbia and is based on the authors’ field materials. Incantation vocabulary analysis is carried out on the example of two texts recorded from native speakers of Oltenian dialect of the Romanian language from the villages of Zaječar and Negotin. There is an incantation called Întorsura mare (literally „Great return“, this incantation aims at removing damage and returning it to the person who caused it); the spell De noroc (Good luck) is meant to attract good luck. During the field research were recorded other incantations, mainly aimed at curing various diseases: the incantation of toothache or ear inflammation (De năjit), boils (De buboaie), inflammation of the glands (De gâlci), mercury poisoning (De argint viu, lit. “Of live silver”) etc. The informants from whom the incantations were recorded are elderly women, all of whom completed at least primary school, but do not know the written form of their native language, because they studied in Serbian. The texts of incantations have a stable character (exclude the variability of the components). However, some borrowings from the Serbian language, which are part of modern lexical duplicates and are not recorded in Romanian dictionaries, are still preserved in the texts of the incantations
"The Gypsy issue” in Hungary during the interwar years (I)
Authors:   Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church, Hungary, Hajnáczky Tamás
Published: December 2021

During the interwar years in Hungary, the authorities approached the issue of Gypsy settlements mainly through regulations concerning public health. Measures to try to settle the so-called “wandering Gypsies” resulted indirectly in the creation of new Gypsy settlements. The conflicting interests of government ministries and the local authorities became all the more apparent, as they both expected the provision of the accompanying necessary funds to resolve the “Gypsy issue” from the other party. The implementation of the decrees issued by the central authorities were often obstructed and faced criticism from officials, doctors, and gendarmerie responsible for their implementation at the local level. During the period in question, the content of the “Gypsy issue” gradually changed: during the 1920s it mostly meant the setllement of “wandering Gypsies”; while later, in the 1930s, along with the old ones new challenges arose related to the Gypsy settlements, which increased both in size and number. The author uses little-researched primary sources: resolutions approved by the Hungarian authorities and Hungarian interwar periodicals such as: the Csendőrségi Lapok (Gendarmerie Journals), Magyar Közigazgatás (Hungarian Public Administration) and Népegészségügy (Public Health).

This period is very significant for the restoration of the history of Soviet Romani literature for almost two years. From September 1939 to June 1941, Roma writers sought new productive contacts with the authorities in an attempt to revive Romani book publishing. The article presents new data based on previously unstudied archival documents and two letters from Roma writers. New facts about the book collection (almanac) of Romani stories translated into Russian and planned for publication in 1941 are presented and confirmed by archival documents, in particular, letters from the famous writer and poet Mikhail Timofeevich Bezlyudsky (1901–1970) and from the Crimean Roma Yu. B. Dzhaltyrov to Elizaveta Aleksandrovna Muravyova (1922–2007), whose contribution to the work of the Section is described on the basis of her biographical data.

The features of the sociocultural identity of the residents of Vinnitsa region are analyzed through the prism of cultural landscape based on field ethnographic materials collected during expeditions by students of the Faculty of History, Law and Public Administration and educators of the Department of History and Culture of Ukraine of Vinnitsa State Pedagogical University named after M. Kotsyubynsky in 2020. This has been achieved through combining objects of material culture with varieties of worldview manifestations and behavioral practices. The prospects of the research are important both in the scientific and in the public areas emphasizing its applied value. There is the question of the further process of the sociocultural identity of the residents of Vinnitsa region through the prism of decentralization reform, the expressiveness of the own “face” of the region due to active exploitation of distinctive local resources, strengthening the tourist attractiveness and comfort of the region. The outcomes of this study could interest researchers involved in developing methodological tools in the context of rethinking sociocultural identity and (re)planning the cultural landscape in the post-Soviet space.
On the formation of the Roma (Gypsy) ethnos
Authors:   Baltic Romani Missionary Society, Kalinin Valdemar
Published: December 2021

The author attempts to consider the history and dynamics of the formation of the Roma (Gypsy) a result of different impacts between the local population and the publiceconomic institutions of those countries, where Roma (Gypsy) lived temporarily or permanently; how ethnic contacts were established; reasons, results and post-effects of the enemy conquests of the territories, where Gypsies settled for good causing mandatory and natural changes in the language, traditions and customs, as well as religion. The issue of the ethno-genesis of the Roma/Gypsy – the process of the formation of this given ethnic community on the basis of various ethnic components – does not lose its relevance. Discussing this topic, the author revises the issue of the Indian origin of the ancestors of modern Roma in the light of new achievements in the field of genetics and the obtained irrefutable evidence that allows to put forward as one of the hypothesis the ability of Roma/Gypsy for genetic resistance, which helped them to preserve their mentality, traditions and customs, the foundations of customary law, without losing their native language. The author also touches upon the issue of defining the type of Gypsy social structure and culture, which often arises in the cases when the Gypsies are seen as exclusively nomadic people. The author puts forward his hypothesis regarding the word ‘nomadic‘ used in relation to the Gypsies.

The tradition (and, the lexeme also) of /по|ч’естнe/ ‘the preliminary gifting to bride and groom in the early stage of wedding’ exists among the Bulaestian Ukrainians. During the /по|ч’естнe/ guests entering the wedding hall come to the small table with wine and jam and/or sweets. They congratulate the bride / groom, throwing small money on the tray (which is denoted as /к’е|датеи на по|ч’естнe/, ‚to throw on pochestne‘), and then they are poured a glass of wine, offered jam or sweets for a snack. The task of the research is to analyze the term /по|ч’естнe/ and its analogues in the Ukrainian and Romanian areas. The analysis has demonstrated that a kind of semantic interference between the words [почесне] and частувати exists in the Carpathian-Ukrainian region. The closest analogies to the Bulaestian /по|ч’естнe/ addresses us to the South-Podolian Ukrainian dialects. The existence of ritual parallels that are structurally close to the Bulaestian почестнэ, and at the same time are denoted semantically (and, in some cases etymologically, like the Romanian cinste,) similar, albeit different, lexemes namely in the Romanian area, suggests that the appearance of the ceremony of почестнэ, as well as the semantic shift in the meaning of this word in the Carpathian-Ukrainian dialects occurred precisely under the Romanian influence.
Everyday Life and Traditions of the Russian Community of Interwar Сhisinau in the Memoirs of Contemporaries
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Garusova Olga
Published: December 2021

The article examines the everyday and cultural traditions of the Russian population of interwar Сhisinau based on sources of personal origin. There were selected and analyzed unpublished memoirs of contemporaries who belonged to the noble and intelligent urban stratum, kept in the personal funds of the National Archives of Republic of Moldova. The range of topics and plots is very wide, but Russian problems are implicitly present in all memoirs. Describing everyday habits, leisure, professional occupations, social activities of the Russian-speaking intelligentsia of those years, the authors reflect the world outlook and opinions inherent in their ethno-cultural environment. The studied memoirs show that the everyday life and culture of the Russian population of the 1920s and 30s reflected continuity with those that were characteristic of the previous decades. During the period when Bessarabia was part of Royal Romania, the Russian community, being in new social and ideological conditions, tried to preserve their religious and cultural forms of everyday life. However, while remaining outwardly unchanged, many traditions were filled with a different content moving from social to private life. These personal documents and memoirs allow us to focus on the key topic in ethnology: investigation of the daily life of the Russian population in Bessarabia during the interwar period, less studied in historical discourse.

This study identifies 25 Roma traditions, fragmentarily represented in 10 texts, which were discovered by the author in Romanian interwar periodicals. Traditions are an integral part of the Roma identity (in addition to the Romani language and the Romani crafts); they are used by the Roma only in the Romani environment, in a specific historical, socio-economic and territorial context. The author conventionally divides the Roma traditions into 5 functional compartments: 1) traditions that regulate the way that Romani crafts are fulfilled; 2) traditions that regulate everyday social relations within the Romani community; 3) traditions that regulate the relations between Roma and government authorities; 4) traditions that reveal the way the Roma express themselves towards the variety of external natural and social phenomena; 5) traditions that regulate the development of the marriage ceremony among the nomadic Roma community. The main objective of this study is focused on the partial disclosure and variable description of Roma traditions, applied in a specific historical, socio-economic and territorial context, to facilitate the process of building the cultural mosaic of the Roma, which is part of the European cultural mosaic.
