Authors: Rukavytsia Volodymyr , Ivashchenko Olha , Khudolii Oleg , Yermakova Tetiana , Iermakov Sergii
Published: December 2022

Background and Study Aim. The study purpose was to determine the effect of exercise performance modes on the effectiveness of teaching the vault to 8-year-old boys. 
Materials and methods. The study participants were 32 boys aged 8 who were divided into 4 groups of 8 pesons. The children and their parents were informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. The pedagogical experiment investigated the effect of the number of sets (х1), the number of repetitions in a set (х2), and a 60-second rest time on the change in the gain in the level of proficiency of 8-year-old boys in straddle vault over the buck. A method of algorithmic instructions was used in the training. The participants proceeded to the next exercise after three successful attempts.
Results. Statistical analysis of the significance of the discriminant functions showed that the first function explains 81.2% of the data variation and has a high canonical correlation value (r = 0.751).  The first function has a high discriminative ability (λ = 0.332, p < 0.021) and can be used to classify the modes of physical exercise performance in the process of formation of motor skills.
Conclusions. The use of multivariate statistics makes it possible to determine the structure of the training program, confirm the effectiveness of the selection of motor tasks, and classify the modes of physical exercise performance during the training process. The best mode of physical exercise performance in teaching the vault to 8-year-old boys is 12 sets of 3 repetitions with a rest time of 60 seconds.

Published: December 2022

Daphnia magna as a live feed in the maintenance of striped catfish larvae in the form of frozen feed is still limited. Evaluation of the production performance of striped catfish larvae using live feed D. magna in both live and frozen compared with feeding Tubifex became the objective of this research activity. The experimental design used feed treatment with Tubifex (P1) as a control, live D. magna (P2), and frozen D. magna (P3) with four experimental replications for 15 days of rearing using a completely randomized design. Twelve aquariums with a water volume of 150 L were used in the experiment. Striped catfish larvae (1.5 cm TL), as many as 9 fish/L were stocked in each aerated aquarium. The amount of feed given was 15% of the weight of fish biomass with a frequency of 4 times a day and increased every day by 10% from the total feed of the first day. Results of the experiment showed different feeding significantly affected absolute length growth, total biomass, and feed conversion, with the best treatment being Tubifex (P1) with values of 0.6 ± 0.02 cm, 83.93 ± 5.99 g, and 1.31, respectively. The best growth rate of weight and length were obtained on larvae fed Tubifex (P1). The best protein efficiency and retention ratio resulted from frozen D. magna feed (P3) treatment of 12.45 and 7.11%, respectively. Live and frozen D. magna was not significantly different, so frozen D. magna feed can be used as an alternative natural feed with a high level of availability.

Introduction and aim. We aimed to investigate whether systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) were associated with short-term mortality in geriatric patients with SARS-CoV-2. Material and methods. Our study was designed retrospectively. The data of patients that presented to a single center. The primary outcome of the study was the diagnostic value of SII and PNI in predicting 28-day mortality in geriatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Results. 272 geriatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 included. The median PNI was 42.5, and the median SII was 687.6 (430–1404.2). In univariant analysis, PNI and SII has a significant relationship with mortality (p<0.001 and p=0.008, Mann-Whitney U test). PNI had an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.680, which was significantly higher than that of SII (AUC: 0.6). The odds ratio of PNI (>40.1) and SII (<1.267) for 30-day mortality were determined as 1.12 , and 1. Conclusion. In conclusion, the blood tests used to calculate PNI and SII are routinely included in complete blood count and biochemistry tests that can be performed in every hospital. According to the results of the current study, the mortality group had significantly higher SII values and significantly lower.

Introduction and aim. It is very important for nurses to experience post-traumatic growth in order to protect their mental health after traumatic events such as a pandemic. The aim of this study is to determine the post traumatic growth status of infection control nurses, who play an important role in health services in the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods. This study is a cross-sectional, descriptive study. The study was conducted with 170 infection control nurses working in infection control committees of hospitals in Turkey. “Nurse Descriptive Information Form” and “Post Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI)” were used as data collection tools in this study. Results. As a result of this research, the mean PTGI total score of the infection control nurses was 70.73±23.03, and it was determined that they experienced moderate growth from the sub-dimensions of the scale. Also it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the changes in philosophy of life sub-dimension scores of PTGI according to the age and marital status of the nurses. In addition, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the total PTGI scores according to the year of working as an infection control nurse and the loss of a relative of the healthcare worker due to the COVID-19 disease. Conclusion. In this study, it can be said that infection control nurses experienced a moderate post-traumatic growth after the COVID-19 pandemic. Age, marital status, working year and loss of a healthcare worker friend during the pandemic period seem to affect nurses’ post-traumatic growth. It is very important to determine the mental health of infection control nurses working on the front lines in the pandemic.

Introduction and aim. Thyroid hormones play an important role in glucose metabolism as in many metabolic events. The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and insulin resistance, especially in obese women. Material and methods. Newly diagnosed SCH patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥30 who applied to our outpatient clinic between March 2021 and October 2021, and euthyroid obese women who applied for routine control were included in the study. In this study, we used homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and triglyceride glucose (TyG) indexes, which are noninvasive, simple and useful methods for evaluating insulin sensitivity. Results. The study included 78 female patients between the ages of 19 and 64. A correlational analysis was performed between thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and HOMA-IR, TyG, and BMI. The results showed that TSH levels were positively correlated with HOMA-IR (R=0.297, p=0.008), TyG (R=0.316, p=0.005) and BMI (R=0.307, p=0.006). This relationship was stronger for TyG compared to the other variables. As another finding, BMI was positively correlated with HOMA-IR (R=0.359, p=0.001) and TyG (R=0.404, p<0.001). This relationship was stronger for TyG than HOMA-IR. Conclusion. These results show that patients with SCH are at risk of developing diseases that accompany insulin resistance, such as metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disorders. The most important finding of our study is that the TyG index gives more significant results than HOMA-IR, especially in obese women.
Development Challenges in South Asia: A Contemporary Discussion on Gender Inequality
Authors:   Faculty of Political Science and International Studies, University of Warsaw, Poland, Bharti Simant Shankar
Published: December 2022

The human development index (HDI) ranking and its value indicate the development challenge in South Asia, where the region is performing impressively in terms of economic growth. However, social development is still perceived in terms of the worst scenario. The South Asian region continues the policy of socio-economic exclusion on the basis of caste, ethnicity, religion and gender. According to the study, the international organisations and the countries of the region are following the development indicator adopted by the United Nations and its institutions. The background of South Asia is like a battleground for a cycle of conflicts; religious, ethnic, and caste conflict cause people to be economically marginalised due to these tensions. The political tension between India and Pakistan results in a constantly fragile situation. In this context, the article explores contemporary development challenges and gender inequality in South Asia.
Authoritarianism as a “Wicked Problem” in Contemporary International Relations
Authors:   Rev., Ph.D., The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland, Ficek Ryszard
Published: December 2022

This study aims to explore the concept of authoritarianism, which - presented in terms of the “wicked problem” of the contemporary world – seems to be a severe challenge to presentday International Relations (IR), both in theoretical and practical dimensions. The concept of authoritarianism is defined in the article as a form of political system in which the power and material resources of the state have been centralized, appropriated, and put at the disposal of either an individual or an elitist group “in power.” In this way, the possibilities of integrating the authoritarian state – both in the political and economic dimension – with the global system of international relations are limited, and the vital administrative institutions of the state have been manipulated and appropriated. The research method applied allows for the interpretation of the discussed issues in a complex – albeit specific – systemic form, characteristic not only for politically fragile or declining countries and regions but also for those which are politically stable and economically developed. The author’s analysis allows for the presentation and reinterpretation of the issue of contemporary authoritarian regimes concerning international relations in terms that not only define but often legitimize – and repeatedly even validate – some of the most despotic, autocratic, and hegemonist forms of the political systems in modern times.
O korzyściach płynących z wykorzystania elementów mediacji w obszarze interwencji kryzysowej

Published: December 2022

The area of social support, especially in overcoming crises and the availability of social services, is undergoing continuous development in Poland. In recent years, much attention has been paid to strengthening the availability of crisis intervention and mediation services. Both services have many references in common, as well as the potential to complement each other. The aim of this paper is to analyse the potential which may be connected with using elements of mediation in the practice of those institutions of the social assistance system which deal with crisis intervention. Interdisciplinary reflection on the common features of crisis intervention and mediation leads to the conclusion that both fields, despite noticeable differences, have to some extent convergent goals and assumptions, and what is more, they are based on similar scopes of knowledge, mainly from the field of psychology and social work. Moreover, they can complement each other and complement aid processes.
Analiza genologiczna podcastu kryminalnego na wybranych przykładach
Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Polska, Dul Beata
Published: December 2022

This article studies in detail two examples of the so-called ‘true-crime podcasts’, following the genological analysis scheme introduced by Maria Wojtak in her “Introduction to Genology”. It addresses not only their textual aspect, but also the audial part. In a broader perspective, this article attempts a systematic investigation of the ‘podcast’ in the genological context (as a relatively new and still dynamically evolving notion, it lacks a genre template) and its correlations within the mediasphere.
Teatralizacje Cypriana Norwida
Authors:   University at Buffalo, Stany Zjednoczone Ameryki, Braun Kazimierz
Published: December 2022

The article investigates selected uses of theatricality by the poet and playwright Cyprian Norwid (1821-1883). Based on his previous works on theatricality, among others, his book “Theatricality of Life. Practices and Startegies” (A. Marszałek, Toruń 2020), as well as his numerous publications on Norwid, Kazimierz Braun focuses on four, especially evident, cases of Norwid’s bringing theatricality into play in his life. They are discussed in the chapters of the article: “Norwid on Horseback, Norwid Without a Coat, Norwid in a Cap “Konfederatka”, Norwid as Dalang”. (The latter chapter compares Norwid with an Indonesian Dalang, who is a “total” artist of theatre). Each case of use of theatricality by Norwid brought about a significant literary output such as poems, dramas, short stories and letters.
„Dusza moja była pełna skarbów bożych od dawna, lecz nie było w niej miłości”. Owoce medytacji Juliusza Słowackiego
Authors:   Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, Polska, Duszyca Paulina
Published: December 2022

The article focuses on the meditative aspect of Juliusz Słowacki’s spiritual transformation and discusses the fruits of his meditative attitude. The poet’s correspondence became the main research material in the deliberations and findings. The work analyses successively such qualities and derivatives of the poet’s meditative lifestyle as: inner joy and delight, submission to God’s drawing action, spiritual indifference, but also such actions and activities, the specificity and essence of which turn out to be the result of a meditative act. By isolating and examining these particular effects of the act of meditation, we once again agree to the research opinion of Ewa Szczeglacka-Pawłowska that the poet fully deserves to be called homo meditans. The poet’s spiritual transgression has been described many times, however, placing it in the light of meditation allows us to extract new meanings from the issue.
„Wyspa doktora Moreau” Herberta George’a Wellsa – rewizja tropów mitologicznych
Authors:   Polski Uniwersytet Na Obczyźnie w Londynie (PUNO), Wielka Brytania, Ligęza Adrian
Published: December 2022

This article puts forward a reinterpretation of the presence of mythological tropes in H. G. Wells’s, “The Island of Doctor Moreau”. Once the various contexts within which the novel tends to be read have been presented, attention is drawn to the interpretative approaches adopted by literary critics, such as Bergonzi, Bowen, Hayes, to name but a few, who search for connections between the author’s chosen text and myths. Among the cited interpretations, we will find references to, among others, Circe, Comus and Prometheus. Availing himself of the research methodology adopted by John White and Marie Miguet-Ollagnier, the author identifies the sections where allusions to the myths pertaining to Daedalus and Dionysus are to be most frequently encountered. At the same time, the author expands on the findings of previous research by highlighting newly-found mythological motifs. In his conclusion, the author of this article highlights the need for Wells’s work to be now read against the background of the mythological allusions which he has identified as being present in the world of this novel.
Krąg mitów arturiańskich w twórczości Johna Ronalda Reuela Tolkiena i Andrzeja Sapkowskiego
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Polska, Kosiba Jowita
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the functioning of the Arthurian legends in the works by both J.R.R. Tolkien and A. Sapkowski. The universe of Andrzej Sapkowski, who inscribed his own story into the Arthurian myth, makes an impression of being rooted in a long, centuries-old tradition. Tolkien also drew from the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, using the eternal desire for the coming of the king – restorer. The most interesting issue is the different approach to the legend presented by both writers. Tolkien omitted elements „contaminated” with Christian influence, extracting the pure essence of pagan Celticism, while renouncing an inspiration from the medieval history. Sapkowski, on the contrary, openly admits to his fascination, apotheosing the Arthurian myth in both its forms – the primitive one and the one filtered through the Christian tradition.
W kręgu historiografii czasów saskich
Authors:   Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, Polska, Prabucki Krzysztof
Published: December 2022

The review describes Piotr Sebastian Ślusarczyk’s book entitled “Horizons of erudition. A study on Szymon Majchrowicz’s Triazoic szczęśliwa królestw”. The cognitive value of this publication is manifested in its extraordinary approach to historiographic matter which is extremely often marginalized by researchers studying the late Baroque literary heritage. The review focuses on showing the erudite nature of Ślusarczyk’s monograph first of all and also examining the antecedents of the ideas explicated in the Jesuit’s work and also polemics with the author about the „Sarmatian nature” of Szymon Majchrowicz’s treatise.
„Panorama badań aksjologicznych we współczesnym literaturoznawstwie polskim” (polemiczne dopowiedzenia)

This publication contains polemic commentaries to the text by Beata Garlej „Panorama badań aksjologicznych we współczesnym literaturoznawstwie polskim” [Panorama of axiological research in contemporary Polish literary studies] („Tematy i Konteksty” 11(16)/2021). This publication has been divided into three parts: “Lublin school (KUL school)”, “Torun school” and “Warsaw school”. The lack of the authoress’s explanations of her understanding of the term ‘school’ allows to overestimate the significance of “Torun school” and underestimate the significance of “»Garden« school”.
„Wspomnienia wygnanki” Pauliny Krakowowej – robinsonada z perspektywy kobiecej. Re-lektura
Authors:   Uniwersytet Łódzki, Polska, Berkan-Jabłońska Maria
Published: December 2022

The aim of the article is to remind Paulina Krakowowa’s robinsonade “Memories of the exile” created in 1843, and to indicate the possible directions of its contemporary reading. The analysis covers the female characters appearing in the novel, their strategies accepted in the face of unfavorable circumstances, as well as the pro-civilizational actions undertaken already on the abandoned island. According to the author of the article these depictions could have a double meaning for the Polish writer: both feminist and patriotic. A separate issue indicated in the sketch is the positioning of Krakowowa’s work in the context of the Western European female robinsonades of the eighteenth and nineteenth century which have been already the subject of attention of such researchers as e.g. Jeannine Blackwell, Thomas Fair, and Michelle Smith.
Szopka – między sacrum a profanum. Genologia widowiska
Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Polska, Nabiałek Magda
Published: December 2022

The article attempts to look at the nativity play in a genological context. The author’s aim is to broaden the context of reading this form of the show. It represents a polemical position towards the unambiguous linking of the nativity play with folk culture. Instead, he suggests looking at it in the context of such forms as literary mimes, mysteries, comedy dell’arte and some mass spectacles. The consequence of this type of considerations is noticing the characteristic, according to the author, tension between the mystery and the farce, sacrum and profanum.
Znaczenia pieśni w wierszu „Do obywatela Johna Brown”
Authors:   Uniwersytet Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego w Warszawie, Polska, Nurzyńska-Kozak Agnieszka
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article was the analysis of the meanings of song and their transformations in the poem by Cyprian Norwid “Do obywatela Johna Brown”. As a result of interpretational close-ups (especially to the initial phrase and the climax of this poem) the polysemic song by Norwid appears not only as a lyrical genre, a term synonymous to poetry in general but also as an act with performative and transgressive features leading the lyrical subject – also through a specifically ‘musical’ shaping of this poem – towards the experience of epiphany of sacrum (Marian and Christological motives).

Published: December 2022

The role of viral infection in bronchial asthma (BA) is well-known being reflected particularly in GINA. An effect of pneumotropic intracellular persistent herpesviruses on the course of BA is of particular interest. The most common viruses of this group are cytomegalovirus (CMV), EpsteinBarr virus (EBV), and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). The CMV role has been discussed in our previous publications allowing us to focus here on EBV and HHV-6. We examined 167 children with BA that was diagnosed and clinically assessed in accordance with the current national clinical guidelines. Patients with controlled asthma (70 patients), partially controlled and uncontrolled asthma (97 patients) were stratified into several groups. The detection of EBV and HHV-6 DNA was carried out in throat swabs by PCR; the level of total and virus-specific IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE as well as serum level of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-8 and TNF was assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay; lymphocyte subpopulations were analyzed by flow cytometry. The dose of topic GCS was taken into account with reference to the fluticosone equivalent; the function of external respiration was studied by spirometry. It was revealed that EBV DNA was found in 14.2% of cases, whereas HHV-6 in 19.0% of cases, but 14.4% and 52.4% of patients, respectively, shed no pathogen-linked DNA. At the same time, patients with uncontrolled BA are significantly more likely to shed the pathogen DNA, so that EBV is released in 17.1% vs 4.5% of patients with controlled BA, HHV-6 in 19.5% vs 13.6%. On the contrary, children with controlled BA were significantly more often (63.6% vs 51.2%) negative for viral DNA shedding. Moreover, virus shedding was paralleled with higher levels of IL-5: it was as high as 0.91 pg/ml and 0.29 pg/ml for EBV and HHV-6, respectively; those shedding DNA of both pathogens vs no shedding had IL-5 at level of 0.25 pg/ml vs 0.11 pg/ml. Similar pattern was observed for higher total IgE: 184.5 IU for EBV, 113.1 IU for HHV-6, and 371.7 IU shedding both viruses vs 95.2 IU in without DNA pathogen shedding; lower level of FEV1: EBV 96.6%, HHV-6 98.8%, and 106.2% in patients shedding both viruses vs 109.8% in patients not shedding the pathogen DNA. Patients shedding EBV DNA require higher doses of topic GCS to achieve disease control: EBV 325.0 mg, HHV-6 186.4 mg; shedding both viruses 328.1 mg of topic GCS vs 198.6 mg in patients without pathogen DNA shedding. Thus, activation of both EBV and HHV-6 worsens BA control and aggravates its course, but EBV persistence has a more pronounced effect on the course and control of the disease.
Non-Liberal Democracy and the Possibilities of Its Consolidation
Authors:   University of Gdańsk (Poland), Plecka Danuta
Published: December 2022

The notion of non-liberal democracy has become an inseparable element of the debate on the crisis of liberal democracy. For some scholars and journalists, non-liberal democracy is a consequence of the crisis of liberal democracy. It should be pointed out that when indicating the causes of this crisis in the economic, political, and cultural spheres, researchers rarely address the issue of the legitimacy of identifying democracy as non-liberal and its characteristics. Moreover, no one has initiated a broad debate on the possibility of a retreat from non-liberal democracy and the conditions that must be met to return to liberal democracy. That is why this paper attempts to describe the phenomenon called nonliberal democracy and analyse the conditions which should be fulfilled, both in political and social terms. It is to enable the return to the idea of liberal democracy.

Authors: Obydennov Konstantin L. , Kalinina Tatiana A. , Ryabova Daria V. , Kosterina Maria F. , Glukhareva Tatiana V.
Published: December 2022

1,3-Thiazolidin-4-one derivatives with a exocyclic C=C double bond in position 2 of the hetero ring have a wide spectrum of biological activity, but their fungicidal activity has not been studied as much as it should be. This paper presents a simple and convenient approach for obtaining potential antifungal agents based on 2-(4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin-2-ylidene)acetamides. The first examples of evaluating the fungicidal activity of 8 obtained compounds on 8 strains of phytopathogenic fungi are presented. A highly active compound 4e with EC50 of 0.85 and 2.29 µg/mL against A. solani and P. lingam, respectively, was found to be promising for further study.

OUTPUT CONTROLLABILITY OF DELAYED CONTROL SYSTEMS IN A LONG TIME HORIZON
Authors: Ananyev Boris I.
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we consider the output controllability of finite-dimensional control systems governed by a distributed delayed control. For systems with ordinary controls, this problem was investigated earlier. Nevertheless, in many practical and technical problems the control acts with some delay. We give the necessary and sufficient condition for the output controllability. The main goal of our control is to govern the output of the system to some position on a subspace in a given instant, and then keep this output fixed for the remaining times. This property is called the long-time output controllability. For this, sufficient conditions are given. The introduced notions are applied for the investigation of averaged controllability of systems with delayed controls. The general approach for that is to approximate the system by the ordinary ones. Some examples are considered.

We study the sharp inequality between the uniform norm and \(L^p(0,\pi/2)\)-norm of polynomials in the system \(\mathscr{C}=\{\cos (2k+1)x\}_{k=0}^\infty\) of cosines with odd harmonics. We investigate the limit behavior of the best constant in this inequality with respect to the order \(n\) of polynomials as \(n\to\infty\) and provide a characterization of the extremal polynomial in the inequality for a fixed order of polynomials.
COMBINED ALGORITHMS FOR CONSTRUCTING A SOLUTION TO THE TIME–OPTIMAL PROBLEM IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE BASED ON THE SELECTION OF EXTREME POINTS OF THE SCATTERING SURFACE
Authors: Lebedev Pavel D. , Uspenskii Alexander A.
Published: December 2022

A class of time-optimal control problems in three-dimensional space with a spherical velocity vector is considered. A smooth regular curve \(\Gamma\) is chosen as the target set. We distinguish pseudo-vertices that are characteristic points on \(\Gamma\) and responsible for the appearance of a singularity in the function of the optimal result. We reveal analytical relationships between pseudo-vertices and extreme points of a singular set belonging to the family of bisectors. The found analytical representation for the extreme points of the bisector is taken as the basis for numerical algorithms for constructing a singular set. The effectiveness of the developed approach for solving non-smooth dynamic problems is illustrated by an example of numerical-analytical construction of resolving structures for the time-optimal control problem.

Almost all Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta functions have an asymmetrical zero distribution. All the results in this work are new.
“I always share content to be seen”: Unpacking sociability affordances in youth motivations and strategies for sharing content on Facebook

From its origins in social media usage, the term “sharing” has become an umbrella term for socio-technological competency. Even though sharing is a multifaceted construct – influenced by user motivations, expectations, and particularly the intrinsic and extrinsic social benefits to be gained – there are few definitions that approach it around these terms. We analyze these benefits in terms of what we call sociability affordances - i.e., social network site (SNS) affordances that arise outside either the merely material or imagined affordances - which enable individuals to take social actions toward social integration and interaction. Semi-structured interviews with young Chileans from three representative social media use typologies showed that each were closely linked with the performance of sharing actions for intrinsic and extrinsic social integration and interaction gains. Coding of interviews found four main sociability affordances from sharing practices: social visibility; audience engagement; social strengthening and enduring intra-personal communication. Based on U&G and self-determination theories, and rooted in an affordance approach, this study finds that online sharing behaviors are carefully weighed upon to achieve either factual or imagined social gains.

O texto resulta de pesquisa de mestrado em Educação que objetivou analisar o ensino das relações étnico-raciais nos cursos de Pedagogia de quatro universidades públicas federais situadas no Estado do Pará (Universidade Federal do Pará - UFPA, Universidade Federal do Oeste do Pará - UFOPA, Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia - UFRA e Universidade Federal do Sul e Sudeste do Pará - UNIFESSPA) na perspectiva da Lei n° 11.645/08 e da Resolução CNE/CP 01/2004. Para isso, utilizamo-nos de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, por meio de levantamento de produções acadêmicas em artigos, teses e dissertações e; análise de documentos produzidos pelas instituições pesquisadas como os Projetos Pedagógicos de Curso (PPC). Além disso, realizamos a aplicação de questionários aos docentes que ministram disciplinas sobre a ERER nos respectivos cursos. Os resultados apontam avanços no que concerne a presença de disciplinas relativas às questões étnico-raciais, porém identificamos que o percurso de formação dos cursos busca satisfazer as demandas legais de forma periférica e protocolar, sem a incorporação nas demandas institucionais da perspectiva de uma educação antirracista.

Authors: YILDIZ AKYOL Elvan , ÖZTEMEL Kemal
Published: December 2022

The present study includes a revision of the Romantic Relationship Assessment Scale (RRAS; Kılınçer and Tuzgöl Dost, 2013). Personal Information Form, RRAS, and Relationship Satisfaction Scale (RSS) were used as data collection tools. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyzes were performed on the RRAS. As a result of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a structure consisting of 28 items and five sub-dimensions was obtained. When the first and second-level CFA results are evaluated together, it was seen that five sub-dimensions consisting of 28 items were supported. In order to provide evidence for the validity of the scale, its relationship with the RSS was examined. The results revealed a negative and statistically significant correlation between the revised form of RRAS and RSS. In addition, the reliability of the scale was examined in terms of internal consistency, and the Cronbach Alpha coefficient values of the dimensions were found to vary between .78 and .92.
COVID-19 Stress in Married Individuals in Terms of Dyadic Coping and Problem-Solving in Marriage
Authors: KURT İdil Eren , SANBERK İsmail
Published: December 2022

This study aims to examine the relationship between the levels of married individuals being affected by the new life form that has emerged due to COVID-19 and the variables of dyadic coping with stress and problem-solving in marriage. The study group consists of 487 married individuals (77% women, 23% men) living in Turkey. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used in data analysis. It is found that regression model was significant and 46% of the COVID-19 pandemic effect was explained by problem-solving in marriage and dyadic coping with stress. The effect of both predictor variables on the COVID-19 Impact Index was moderate. This finding reveals that the couple can show greater resilience in the face of challenging life events if the ability to jointly cope with stress and problem solving is acquired. Explaining the impact of stressful life events such as Covid 19 on dyadic or triadic relationships with internal variables such as personality provides less information about the nature of relationships. In a couple relationship, the way one of the partners copes with stress and solves problems can be a source of stress for the other. For this reason, there is a need for studies that reflect the social context in studies examining the couple relationship.
The Concept of ‘Home’ in the Essaysby F. Salten ‘New People in the Old Land’
Authors:   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Khalezina Oxana P.
Published: December 2022

The subject of research is the ethnospecific concept of ‘home’ in the essays of the Austrian writer of Jewish origin Felix Salten New People in the Old Land. The writer’s spiritual quest, embodied in the reflections of the narrator-traveler observing the developing Palestine of the early 20th century, is found in many novels and short stories written by him. It was the conviction of the importance of building a new house on the old land that gave rise to Salton’s further search for a way to create a ‘universal world’ on the pages of literary works. The purpose of the article is to identify the place of the concept of ‘home’ in Salten’s concept sphere and to define what it means to the author himself. The research methods rely on the principles of the relational-realistic paradigm of methodology, indicating the features of the concept’s implementation in the text. Salten creates a complex ambivalent concept, the content of which reflects doubts and the problem of self-identification of the writer himself. The article shows the connection between the historical changes of the critical borderline period and the artistic system of F. Salten’s essays. For Salten the concept of ‘home’ is, first of all, a utopian space of Eden, the hope of finding a lost paradise. ‘Home’ is also an object of creation – long patience and hard work in the desert lands of Palestine. At the same time, this is a utopia of saving civilization as a whole because finding a home is closely related to the pacifist idea of human unity.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Grigorieva Olga N. , Li Xilian ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: December 2022

The article examines the words that implement the semantic opposition ‘cold-warm’ in the modern Russian language and reflect a person’s perception of temperature, which depends on many conditions, including geographical location and climate features. The material for this study comprised temperature nominations selected from explanatory dictionaries, synonym and antonym dictionaries. Acting as one of the means of describing the weather, temperature lexemes are an integral part of the vocabulary of the Russian language. We study this group of words from the point of view of their lexical meaning, belonging to the thematic group, typical collocations, as well as the use in texts of various functional styles. We come to a conclusion that the uniqueness of the semantic opposition ‘cold-warm’ related to the discourse of weather, is manifested in many metaphorical expressions reflecting the uniqueness of Russian culture and the peculiarities of the Russian people’s mentality. Most of the words that implement this opposition are antonyms, some of them express opposite meanings in set phrases. Sometimes their original meaning changes when they are part of such phrases. We note that lexical units that implement the semantic opposition ‘cold-warm’ and are used in the modern Russian language in a figurative sense can acquire a symbolic meaning. The article concludes that in the Russian language temperature nouns collocate with adjectives derived from toponyms. In the media texts these lexical units make it possible to express the author’s assessment not only of weather phenomena but also of political events. This article can be used as a basis for further research in this field.

The article is devoted to the analysis of lexical units related to the dyeing of threads and fabrics in the traditional peasant economy of the Perm region’s inhabitants. Homemade threads and fabrics (linen and woolen), often being unattractive in color, were treated with various improvised dyes. There are a large number of words related to the thematic group ‘Dyeing of fabrics’ noted in the Permian dialects. The article analyzes lexical units that have the meanings ‘to dye, to impart color’, ‘names of fabrics by color’, ‘characteristics of fabrics by color and pattern’, ‘pattern, coloring of fabrics’; the names of dyes and coloring materials are considered, and also the names of people engaged in this craft. The author of the article comes to a conclusion that the vocabulary related to the manufacture and dyeing of fabric is a valuable source for studying the life of peasants in the Perm region, their aesthetic ideas. The presence of a large number of lexical units of this thematic group indicates the desire to make fabrics and clothes from them not only comfortable to use but also beautiful. Vocabulary related to the production of fabrics by peasants mainly comprises originally Russian words. Many words of this group are found in other Russian dialects, but some of them are specific to the territory of the Kama region. These are lexemes of purely Russian origin that appeared as a result of new meanings developing in words or due to the formation of new words with the help of affixes. The vocabulary of fabric dyeing is connected with other thematic groups in the dialect lexical system, different names of clothing are often formed from the names of dyed fabrics.
