KINETIC PARAMETERS OF THE ENZYMATIC REACTION OF OXIDATION OF 2,3,6-TRIMETHYLPHENOL
Authors: Гребенникова Ольга Валентиновна
Published: December 2020

В работе приводится расчет кинетических параметров V и K для реакции окисления 2,3,6-триметилфенола пероксидом водорода в присутствии нативной и иммобилизованной пероксидазы корня хрена. Иммобилизация пероксидазы осуществлялась на магнитные наночастицы FeO и неорганические носители SiO, AlO. Образцы SiO и AlO были предварительно модифицированы и активированы, с помощью хитозана и глутарового альдегида, соответственно. Магнитные наночастицы предварительно обрабатывались 3-аминопропилтриэтоксисиланом для обеспечения поверхности носителя необходимыми для ковалентной иммобилизации функциональными группами -NH. Установлено, что магнитные наночастицы являются наиболее подходящим носителем для гетерогенного биокатализатора в реакции окисления 2,3,6-триметилфенола. К тому же, такой катализатор может легко отделяться от реакционной смеси и продуктов реакции с помощью внешнего магнитного поля.

In the work the calculation of the kinetic parameters V and K for the oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of native and immobilized horseradish root peroxidase was presented. Peroxidase was immobilized on magnetic FeO nanoparticles and inorganic carriers SiO, AlO. Samples of SiO and AlO were previously modified and activated by chitosan and glutaraldehyde, respectively. Magnetic nanoparticles were pretreated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to provide the functional groups -NH required for covalent immobilization on the support surface. It has been established that magnetic nanoparticles are the most suitable carrier for a heterogeneous biocatalyst for the oxidation reaction of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol. Besides, such a catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reaction products using an external magnetic field.
«CHOKING LOVE» OF NON-CLASSICS OR ANALYSIS OF THE REASONS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE INTO MYTHOLOGY
Authors: Сафонов Андрей Леонидович , Бондарева Яна Васильевна
Published: December 2020

Цель данной работы состоит в определении механизмов формирования научного знания. Процедура и методы исследования: авторами был проведен анализ существующих концепций развития науки. В процессе исследований использовались методы сравнительного анализа. Результаты исследования: проведенный анализ показал, что процесс познания в неклассической науке зависит от взглядов субъекта познания, который не отделяется от объекта. Они создаются под влиянием как научного знания, так и представлений других форм сознания. Вследствие этого парадигмы неклассической науки формируются как на основе знаний классической науки, так и на основе мифологических, магических и т.п. представлений, которые вносятся в процесс познания через индивидуальные и коллективные взгляды субъекта исследования. Неклассическая наука стала новой мифологией. Теоретическая и практическая значимость: проведенное исследование позволило обосновать новую роль философии, которая заключается в создании оснований для формирования интерсубъектного знания в форме неоклассической науки.

The aim of this work is to determine the mechanisms for the formation of scientific knowledge. The authors analyzed the existing concepts of the development of science. In the research process, comparative analysis methods were used. The analysis showed that the process of cognition in non-classical science depends on the view of the subject of knowledge which is not divided from the object. Their creation is influenced by both scholarly knowledge and vision of other forms of cognition. Due to this paradigm formation of non-classical sciences is based on knowledge of classical science, and mythological, magical vision which are introduced into the process of cognition by individual and collective views of the subject of research. Non-classical sciences have become new mythology. The study made it possible to justify the new role of philosophy, which consists in creating the foundations for the formation of intersubjective knowledge in the form of neoclassical science.
N.I. KAREEV ON THE DIALOGUE OF CULTURES IN LINE WITH THE VIEWS OF WESTERN EUROPEAN PHILOSOPHERS OF XVIII-XIX CENTURIES
Authors: Михайлова Елена Евгеньевна , Соболева Надежда Александровна
Published: December 2020

Рассматривается диалог культур в трактовке западноевропейских мыслителей XVIII-XIX вв. Показано, что изучение истории взаимоотношений различных, в своем основании и формах, культур прошло три содержательных этапа: первый - начало «разговора» о взаимоотношении культур и постановка понятий «Запад» и «Восток» (просветители); второй - смещение вопроса о дуальности «Запад - Восток» на уровень дилеммы философии истории и всемирной истории (представители немецкой классической философии); третий - применение новой, многофакторной методологии (позитивисты). Сделан вывод о том, что русский историк и представитель позитивистской философии истории Н.И. Кареев дал конструктивно-критическую оценку воззрениям западноевропейских мыслителей на проблему взаимоотношений разных культур и творчески использовал их идеи в построении своей философии истории.

The article deals with the dialogue of cultures in the interpretation of Western European thinkers of the XVIII-XIX centuries. It is shown that the study of the history of relations between cultures, which differ in their basis and forms, has passed three meaningful stages. The first stage is the beginning of a «conversation» about the relationship of cultures and the formulation of the concepts of «West» and «East» (enlighteners). The second stage is characterized by a shift of the question of the duality of «West-East» to the level of the dilemma of the philosophy of history and world history (representatives of German classical philosophy). The third stage is the application of a new, multi-factor methodology (positivists). It is concluded that the Russian historian and representative of the positivist philosophy of history N.I. Kareev gave a constructive and critical assessment of the views of Western European thinkers on the problem of relations between different cultures and creatively used their ideas in building his philosophy of history.

Published: December 2020

Para una mejor educación se necesitan mejores profesores. Estudiar las prácticas de enseñanza de los docentes universitarios en la Universitaria Uniagustiniana implica detallar si existe la reflexión en la acción o la reflexión de la acción (Schön, 1992) y si realmente los docentes universitarios, además de poseer un dominio en su saber disciplinar específico, tienen nociones sobre lo que significa la pedagogía y la didáctica. Uno de los aspectos que indagó esta investigación, como lo señala Herrán (2013), es detallar si para enseñar en la universidad solo basta con saber la disciplina específica, pues la docencia universitaria no exige algún estudio en pedagogía y didáctica y esto antepone algunas situaciones problemáticas en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Este trabajo respondió a la siguiente problematización: ¿cómo formar a los docentes universitarios en el saber didáctico desde el análisis, la reflexión y la transformación de sus prácticas de enseñanza basado en la construcción del concepto de la buena enseñanza? El proyecto se enmarca en la necesidad de formación didáctica de los docentes universitarios. Cada uno de los docentes y a su vez cada uno de los programas de la universidad tuvo la oportunidad de analizar desde la estructura administrativa y pedagógica lo que implica planear, desarrollar, evaluar y reflexionar acerca de los procesos de enseñanza en la docencia universitaria y lo que conlleva formar docentes para la calidad académica, pues la buena enseñanza es un equilibrio entre el saber disciplinar y el saber didáctico. Por medio de observaciones de clase, entrevistas semiestructuradas y grupos focales, los docentes pudieron reflexionar desde sí mismos sus prácticas de enseñanza y proponer el concepto de buena enseñanza para la formación didáctica en la universidad desde las necesidades, experiencias y el contexto propio, y concluyeron que es necesaria la formación didáctica en los docentes universitarios.

MOTIVATION PROBLEMS IN FOREIGN PERSONALITY THEORIES
Authors:   Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis, Altunina Inna R.
Published: December 2020

Foreign author’s psychological theories of personality from the point of view of formulating and solving issues related to the field of motivation of human behavior are examined in the article. The theories are mainly presented, which are usually considered both in monographs devoted to theoretical issues of personality psychology, and in books, the purpose of which is to illuminate motivational issues. The provisions of these theories related to the topic of motivation are revealed and discussed. Particular attention is paid to the lack of clear scientific criteria for classifying a particular theory as a personal or motivational problem, although in fact motivation is only a particular aspect of personality psychology. In conclusion, the point is made that in modern theories of personality, the issues of motivation of human behavior are disclosed quite fully and versatile, however, there is still no unified, holistic psychological theory of motivation and a clear division of the theory into personal and motivational. The same is stated with regard to psychological theories of personality, which differ significantly from each other in terms of terminology, problems considered in them and scientific solutions offered to them.
HUMANITY IN THE ORGANIZATION: IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PRINCIPLE OF CULTURAL MEDIATION
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Bulgakov Alexander V.
Published: December 2020

On the basis of the principle of cultural mediation in aspects of culture – environment, mediation – the model of “Humanity in interpersonal and intergroup relations in the organization”, which is a deep modernization of T. Pittinski’s allophilia model, is considered. The subscales of the A scale (sympathy, comfort, involvement, enthusiasm, closeness) were added to the subscales of the D scale (dominance, antiegalitarianism). Stable feedbacks were determined between subscales A and D: the maximum - r = -0.853 with the “Sympathy” subscale, and the minimum – r = -0.456 “Comfort”, while the subscale “Antiegalitarianism” makes a greater contribution. A real experiment was carried out according to L.S. Vygotsky, in which the situations of study during the period of self-isolation from COVID-19 in humanitarian and departmental universities are considered. It was revealed that the humanity index (HIO) in educational organizations under the influence of the pandemic has a non-linear dynamics: from a sharp drop in the index in the first month to a gradual increase in the next 3 months (to the level of everyday life). With a balanced sample (66 people in total), by age (20-22 years old), gender (90% girls), the training program “Psychology of Service”, similar quality of teachers selection, learning conditions, the HIO level in a humanitarian university is lower than in the departmental. It has been proven that the reason is the result of the interaction of a more ordered organizational environment of a departmental university with the personal characteristics of students, which reduces uncertainty, paradoxically leads to an increase of HIO. The culture of mediation was manifested in the presentation of the typicality of ideas about group and intergroup interactions, assessments of stereotyping and bias. A similar social typicality of groups was determined, with differences in the interrelationships between HIO and stereotyping and bias. A stable positive correlation of HIO with stereotyping at the level of 0.01, negative with a bias at the level of 0.05 was revealed, which speaks about the possibilities of HIO in predicting the manifestation of cognitive and motivational social-psychological phenomena in various groups of subjects.

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Gavrichenko Oksana V. , Zotova Irina G. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: December 2020

The psychological aspects of attitudes to marriage in women with different marital status in a transitive society, the main characteristics of which are the dynamism of social processes, diversity of positions, value systems, uncertainty of norms, are presented in the article. The work analyzes the specifics of motivation and marital attitudes, as well as peculiarities of interrelation between current attitudes toward marriage and psychological well-being of the study participants at different ages. The results of the study demonstrate that women retain a basic attitude toward the importance and value of marital relations. Emotional and socio-cultural motivations are dominant for respondents in this sample. The attitude of women to egalitarian relations in marriage confirms the priority of individual desires in marriage and strengthening the position of partner type interaction in modern marriage. The study on the relationship between psychological well-being and attitudes toward marriage confirms the general trend of pragmatic attitudes toward marriage and the desire to postpone the birth of children to a later date. The prospect of motherhood for divorced women at different ages is associated with limited life prospects, inability to control their lives and reduced opportunities for development.

The theoretical and empirical analysis of the concepts of coping strategy, locus of control (internality-externality) and achievement motivation is provided in the article. Various points of view on coping strategies, as well as on achievement motivation, social intelligence and internality as professionally important personality characteristics of leaders of the real sector of the economy are considered. The structure of the relationship of socio-psychological characteristics and coping strategies of leaders is revealed. The correlation of coping strategies and locus of control, achievement motivation is investigated. The results of the study of the relationship of coping strategies, locus of control, achievement motivation and socio-psychological characteristics among managers allowed us to draw the following conclusions. 1. Two types of leaders were obtained: “Internal” and “External”. 2. Each type of leader has his own combination of coping strategies. 3. Within each of the two types of leaders, subtypes are distinguished. As a result, we get a two-level typology, the second level of which includes five types of leaders, depending on their socio-psychological characteristics and preferred coping strategies. 4. All types are characterized only by their inherent features of coping behavior. The greatest differences in usage patterns were found in strategies such as Confrontational Coping, Positive Reappraisal, Self-Control, Distance, and Emotional Coping. All types of executives have the greatest preference for strategies such as Problem Coping and Problem Solving Planning. 5. The greatest contribution to the psychological characteristics of types was made by such qualities as aggressiveness, friendliness, dominance, altruism and authoritarianism. In addition, the level of internality (including general and relative to one’s own failures and achievements), personality traits (courage, suspicion, high normative behavior, dominance).

Published: December 2020

The experience of working with chronic trauma in the framework of children’s psychodrama, which allows exteriorization, acting out and understanding of internal drama in the external space of group play interaction, is presented in the article. The dynamics of roles and game behavior of a 10-year-old girl with communicative, cognitive and psychosomatic difficulties is traced and analyzed. The content of 13 psychodramatic sessions is presented. The observed evolution is considered from the point of view of Melanie Klein’s theory in terms of the development of elements of the depressive position against the background of the predominance of the paranoid-schizoid platform, the microdynamics of fluctuations between these two positions and their consequences for the experience of the “I” and the object. Gradually, the group’s work has seen a reduction in the manifestations of anxiety and the need to protect against a dangerous, intruding and attacking world. There has been a transformation of the security object, acceptance of a state of scarcity, easing control over the object, acceptance of the connections of dependence, compassion and reparation, although the period of 13 meetings was not sufficient for permanent changes, which led to pronounced fluctuations in the prevailing position. The conclusion is made about the importance and fruitfulness of timely psychological work with the consequences of chronic traumatization, despite the apparent “normativity” of the child, the adaptability of his seemingly normal part of the personality.
EUROPEAN UNION FINANCIAL POLICY IN THE POST-SOVIET SPACE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 21ST CENTURY. EXPERIENCE AND PROSPECTS
Authors:   Moscow State Regional University, Ershov Vitalii F.
Published: December 2020

The paper deals with the formation of a modern style of financial relations between the European Union and post-Soviet states. The author explores the objectives and features of the implementation of two main components of the European financial policy in the post-Soviet space: investment in the development and commercial activities of private capital. The EU financial policy in the post-Soviet states advances in the context of pan-European humanitarian, geopolitical and energy concepts established at the beginning of the 21st century. Despite certain differences that exist in the approaches of the European Union to dialogue with groups of countries within the frameworks of the Eastern Partnership and the EU Strategy for Central Asia, a common line is seen here on investments in promoting the education, European values, legal standards of banking. At the same time, in relations between Europe and the post-Soviet countries there is a tendency towards the adoption of the principles of financial pragmatism and a desire for long-term investment ties. The expanding role of the European banks and investment companies in economic life in the post-Soviet space is in direct connection with the realization of the modernization potential in post-Soviet states.
RUSSIAN-BELARUSIAN TUTORIAL "HISTORY OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR. ESSAYS ON THE SHARED HISTORY"
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Kosovan Elena A.
Published: December 2020

The paper provides a review on the joint Russian-Belarusian tutorial “History of the Great Patriotic War. Essays on the Shared History” published for the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The tutorial was prepared within the project “Belarus and Russia. Essays on the Shared History”, implemented since 2018 and aimed at publishing a series of tutorials, which authors are major Russian and Belarusian historians, archivists, teachers, and other specialists in human sciences. From the author’s point of view, the joint work of specialists from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus in such a format not only contributes to the deepening of humanitarian integration within the Union state, but also to the formation of a common educational system on the scale of the Commonwealth of Independent States or the Eurasian integration project (Eurasian Economic Union – EEU). The author emphasises the high research and educational significance of the publication reviewed when noting that the teaching of history in general and the history of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War in particular in post-Soviet schools and institutes of higher education is complicated by many different issues and challenges (including external ones, which can be regarded as information aggression by various extra-regional actors).
"75 YEARS OF THE GREAT VICTORY - COMMON VICTORY - COMMON MEMORY". MATERIALS OF THE INTERNATIONAL RUSSIAN-UZBEK RESEARCH AND PRACTICE CONFERENCE
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Khanova Irina E.
Published: December 2020

The publication deals with the International Russian-Uzbek research and practice conference “75 Years of the Great Victory – Common Victory – Common Memory”. Based on the conference materials, the author of the publication analyses approaches of the scientific community representatives of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan to assessing the common contribution of our countries to the victory over fascism. The speakers focused on discussing such topical issues as the historiography of the Great Patriotic War in Uzbekistan, coverage of the Great Patriotic War in foreign historiography, new educational approaches to teaching the history of the Great Patriotic War in higher and secondary educational institutions, using the memories of evacuees as a historical source, etc. The author emphasises that all the speakers expressed concern about the strengthening of modern trends to “falsify the history” of the Great Patriotic War and World War II and indicated, in that regard, the need for careful attitude towards the history of the events of 1939–1945 and the importance of preserving the historical memory of them. An idea was also expressed at the conference that a great responsibility falls on the shoulders of scientific community representatives now, since the community’s main task is to preserve the memory of the courage and heroism of all the soldiers who fought against fascism, without distinction of nationality. During the discussion, interesting proposals were made for cooperation in the field of historical knowledge, educational activities, as well as in the promotion of joint educational projects by Russia and Uzbekistan.
LEGAL BASIS OF THE UNION STATE OF RUSSIA AND BELARUS: DEVELOPMENT AND OUTLOOKS
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sharueva Marina V.
Published: December 2020

The article examines particular features of the modern legal framework of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, as well as foundations of political and economic cooperation between Moscow and Minsk. Reciting positive integration outcomes in certain areas, the author gives examples of contradictions and incomplete provisions that are contained in the legislative documents of the Union State and that restrain the integration. According to the author, the current state of the Union legislation is such that the Union State, being in fact an emerging international organization, can not act as a subject of international law. Serious problems also accompany the implementation of bilateral relations between Russia and Belarus within the framework of this integration association, since the legal basis of the Union state is made up of normative acts that do not have the force of law, which are either purely declarative in nature, or are aimed at solving current organizational problems. The author emphasizes that from the legal point of view, the creation of a full-fledged Union state of Russia and Belarus is a feasible task. However, its implementation requires clear formulations of the basic principles of integration by the leaders of the Union republics, which is purely a political task.
THE CONCEPT OF THE BALTIC-BLACK SEA ARC AND UKRAINIAN FOREIGN POLICY (1990 - EARLY 2000)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Levchenkov Alexandr S.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the influence of the concepts of the Intermarium and the Baltic-Black Sea Arc on the formation of Ukraine’s foreign policy in 1990 – early 2000. The use of these concepts in American, European and Ukrainian geopolitical thought, which historically included the idea of opposing Russian influence in the region, contributed to the increase in tension and was aimed at further disintegration of the Western flank of the post-Soviet space. The article proves that the design of the Euro-Atlantic vector of Ukraine’s foreign policy was already active under the first two Ukrainian presidents – Leonid Kravchuk (1991–1994) and Leonid Kuchma (1994–2005). One of the concrete attempts to implement the idea of forming a common political, economic, transport and logistics space of the Black Sea-Caspian region with a promising expansion of the cooperation zone to the whole of Eastern Europe and the Eastern Baltic during the presidency of Leonid Kuchma was the foundation and launch of a new regional organization, Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, better known as GUAM (composed by the initial letters of names of member states – Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Moldova; when Uzbekistan was also a member of Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, the name of the organization was GUUAM), which is an alternative to Eurasian projects with the participation of Russia.
Tourism Competitiveness by Shift-Share Analysis to way-forward Destination Management: A case study for Sri Lanka
Authors: Fernando Imali N.
Published: December 2020

Hospitality and Tourism are among the fastest-growing sectors and the source of foreign exchange with indirect-direct employments for quite an appreciable number of economies worldwide. The nature of the sector provides an avenue towards regional development through entrepreneurship venture creations, value addition to the abandoned resources, and regeneration of abandon natural resources with new themes as a novel approach. Tourism currently in a paradigm shift as a comparative advantage of destination is becoming less important than a competitive advantage. The traditional destinations are diminishing while creating novel destinations more relaxation-oriented while leading to residents' economically enriched livelihood. The paper critically analyzes the current tourism competitive position of Sri Lanka with a panel of five rival destinations by adopting shift-share analysis by developing two propositions. Regional Tourism arrivals in rival tourism destinations have been used to perform Shift-share analysis. Findings revealed (a) Sri Lanka as a destination is gaining the competitive advantage of four tourism regions out of six markets. The competitive strategies proposed as recommendations to gain market specialization to the regions with a competitive advantage; (a) market specialization by targeting the markets with a competitive advantage, (b) new marketing programs for markets with competitive disadvantage, and (c) collaborative programs among Asian tourism destinations. The results would be beneficial to Asian region tourism decision-makers trusted with the growth and application of competitive strategies.

Authors: Juan José Tarí  , Jorge Pereira-Moliner  , José F. Molina-Azorín  , María D. López-Gamero
Published: December 2020

This work aims to identify quality standard adoption levels and their relationship with quality management practices and performance (customer, employee and social results, and organizational performance) in tourism organizations in Spain. This work uses 279 tourism organizations in the following subsectors: hotels, travel agencies, restaurants, and rural accommodations. The work applies cluster and regression analyses. Results show three levels of adoption and a lower degree of development of the continuous improvement dimension. Organizations with a significantly lower level of development of the quality standard have started to integrate the quality requirements in their daily practices to some extent and where continuous improvement practices are little developed. These organizations have significantly lower results than those organizations with higher adoption of quality. The results also indicate that a greater level of adoption of a quality standard leads to a higher development of QM practices. These results are interesting for managers, destination managers, and the wider tourism professional community. It contributes to supplementing previous studies about taxonomies of quality standard adoption in the particular case of tourism organizations in Spain and may serve as a starting point for further research on that topic.

Authors: Yağmur Yenal , Aksu Akın
Published: December 2020

The study's primary purpose is to reveal the destination image evaluations of Antalya by the tourists staying with the concept of halal tourism with the proposed model. In this context, the study was designed as survey-based quantitative research and was carried out on 660 tourists selected by a simple random sampling method in 6 hotels in Antalya destination. As a result of the structural equation modelling analyses, it was determined that the cognitive images of the tourists staying in hotels with the concept of halal tourism affected tourist satisfaction positively. Their effective images did not significantly impact tourist satisfaction, and that their effective images affected intention to recommend positively while their cognitive images influenced it negatively. Besides, it was found that both cognitive and affective image dimensions did not significantly affect intention to revisit. Furthermore, the results of the analyses indicated that cognitive images of the tourists positively affected their affective images. Tourist satisfaction had a positive impact on their intention to recommend and intention to revisit. According to the research results, it was determined that the cognitive image is a key element for the tourists staying in the halal concept to evaluate Antalya's destination. In this regard, it is evident that public policymakers and hotel managers should formulate their policies and strategies, taking into account the results of the research, as well as implementing policies and practices aimed at increasing the affective evaluations of tourists, which are more important than the cognitive evaluations of tourists in Antalya destination. Finally, it is believed that the study will reveal important practical implications in the context of developing policies and strategies for the managers of the hotels with the concept of halal tourism and for local authorities in the destination and revealing the relationship between destination image, tourist satisfaction and behavioural intentions.

Pre-school education (TK) adheres to the principle of "playing while learning or learning while playing". Therefore, learning activities for kindergarten students should be carried out inside the classroom or outside the classroom or school yard. The use of the school yard is one of the facilities that plays an important role in the process of teaching and learning activities in early childhood education institutions, because it can be used as a target, facility, media and learning resource. The focus and purpose of this service is the development of community assets of TK Dharma Wanita 02 on the quality aspects of teacher human resources in utilizing the school yard as a medium and learning resource during the Covid-19 pandemic. The service method uses the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. The result of the mentoring process in the TK Dharma Wanita 02 community is to make the Kindergarten Institution Superior and Resilient based on the Yard in the Middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Why Do Roma Migrate? A Critical Analysis of Academic Silence in Polish Scholarship
Authors: Garapich Michal P. , Fiałkowska Kamila , Mirga-Wójtowicz Elżbieta
Published: December 2020

The article discusses the case of academic silence with regards to the migration of Roma from Poland – both in Polish Romani studies and in migration studies. The absence of Romani migration in migration research in Poland is contrasted with the absence of the subject of migration in Romani studies, offering a glimpse into fundamental assumptions, and politically and ideologically determined paradigms within both areas. Paradoxically, the group associated in the social imaginary with mobility is absent in migration studies in Poland. Quite surprisingly, Polish Roma are static and immobilized in Polish Romani studies. The aim ofthis paper is to critically explore this particular type of discursive silence and how it impacts migration and Romani studies.
A Beautiful, Sad Tale about Nonexistent Socialism in Hungary: The Story of Gyuri Cséplő
Authors: Majtényi György
Published: December 2020

In the 1970s, director Pál Schiffer and his colleagues filmed the life story of Cséplő Gyuri (1978), a documentary feature about the prospect of a Gypsy protagonist breaking free from a slum in socialist Hungary. The original footage from the production is held in the Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives in Budapest. The footage brings to light how the Gypsy/Romani protagonist of the film was cast, how he was brought from a Gypsy settlement in Németfalu to Budapest, how the film was screened,  how audiences reacted, and what the filmmakers debated withlocal communities. The tragic early death of Gyuri Cséplő raised the question among the filmmakers how it would be possible to break free from poverty and from Gypsy settlements. In a socialcritique, the filmmakers presented a parallel world outside that of modern socialist Hungary. The theory of multiple modernities – and studies written as a result – suggest that modernization is not a singular phenomenon; that it affected various social and ethnic groups and actors in divergent ways. This microhistory investigates what differences can be revealed between the perspectives of minority and majority communities in socialist Hungary.
Depositional Environment And Vertical Distribution Based on Core Analysis to Evaluate The Production Rate of The Reservoir (Case Study: Arun Carbonate Reservoir, North Sumatra, Indonesia)
Authors: Perdana M., W.
Published: December 2020

The Arun natural gas field is one of the world biggest gas fields by volume of reserves and this field was found in a coastal region within the North Sumatra Basin, Indonesia. This field has been producing gas and condensate since 1977. Based on Atmadibrata and Joenoes (1993) gas production in this field had increased at that time up to an average level of 3,300 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD). The total daily volume of 2.230 MMSCFD was transported to the LNG plant for liquefaction and trade, 145 MMSCFD was provided to the household showcase and domestic market, 55 MMSCFD was utilized for fuel and 870 MMSCFD was reinjected into the reservoir in order to maximize condensate recovery. This study intends to understand the relationship between the depositional environment of the Arun field reservoir to the production rate of the reservoir. The data in this study is mainly secondary data and consists of geological properties (core description and petrographic analysis), geophysical properties (well logging) and petrophysical properties (porosity and permeability).
Depositional Environment and Petroleum System Analysis Based on Outcrop Analogue in Sukolilo Outcrop, Tuban Regency, East Java Province
Authors: Irsani N., S.,
Published: December 2020

The North East Java Basin has become one of the most promising basins in Indonesia. Over 150 million barrels of oil have been extracted from the Rembang Zone in the North East Java Basin. The Sukolilo outcrop, located in Sukolilo, Bancar, Tuban Regency, East Java, represents all the components of an exposed Middle Miocene petroleum system. The objective of this study is to present an excellent analogue for the depositional environment and petroleum system of the Middle Miocene formation of the Rembang Zone that can be expected in similar subsurface settings and as a tool for outcrop preservation with modelling using photogrammetry. Data consists of measured section, photogrammetry data, petrographic analysis, TOC content measurement and Rock-Eval Pyrolysis. Observed formation at this outcrop includes Ngrayong, Bulu, and Wonocolo Formation. The facies distributed in this outcrop consist of claystone-carbonaceous shale bedded, cross-bedded quartz sandstone, foraminiferal limestone and calcareous siltstone intercalated calcareous sandstone. Based on depositional environment analysis, the depositional environment changes from Lagoon – Tidal Flat – Shallow Marine – Shelf. The result of petrographic analysis shows that quartz sandstone porosity from the Ngrayong Formation can be identified as reservoir rock. Seal rock potential is shown by carbonate minerals diagenesis of the foraminiferal limestone sample. Source rock potential which is identified using TOC content and Rock-Eval Pyrolysis, reveals that the sample tends to be gas prone (kerogen type III) and has low thermal maturity (immature). Ductile deformation (conical anticline) and brittle deformation (normal fault) is predicted to be the migration path for this petroleum system.
Library technicians collaborating with librarians on knowledge syntheses: a survey of current perspectives
Authors: Bradley-Ridout Glyneva , Epworth Alissa
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Though it is well recognized that librarians bring value to knowledge synthesis teams, library technicians have largely been excluded from this process. This study was designed to determine the extent to which library technicians are currently participating in knowledge syntheses, to investigate where these two professional groups, librarians and library technicians, see opportunities for future collaboration, and to identify the challenges and successes perceived by both groups.
Methods:  An electronic survey, consisting of multiple choice and short answer queries, was distributed to targeted listservs. The target audience for survey participants was librarians, or library technicians, who worked in a library with any scale of knowledge synthesis service. Responses were collated, coded, and organized by themes.
Results: 170 responses were received and evenly represented librarians (n=84) and library technicians (n=79), including 7 incomplete responses. 31% (n=50) of respondents stated that they currently collaborate or have collaborated in the past on knowledge synthesis projects with the other professional group. Tasks completed by the library technician included article retrieval, citation management, retrieving reference lists, and database searching. The major challenge reported with collaboration on knowledge synthesis projects was the library technician qualifications. Major successes included time efficiency for librarians, and the opportunity for technicians to develop new skills.
Is the Low Electoral Turnout of Indigenous People a Myth? Evidence from Subnational Elections in Chile, 2012-2017
Authors: Morales Mauricio
Published: December 2020

Abundant evidence exists of the low electoral turnout of indigenous people. Among the reasons that explain this result are the weakness of political parties in representing indigenous people, the economic circumstances of ethnic minorities, and their experiences of discrimination. In general, these findings are based on analyses of national elections, and it is unclear if they hold equally at the subnational level. This study of the Mapuche ethnic group in Chile analyzed the electoral turnout in Chile’s 345 municipalities for the national elections of 2013 and 2017 and the subnational elections of 2012 and 2016. The study found the following. First, the electoral turnout in municipalities with the highest concentration of Mapuche is above the average for subnational elections and comparable to the average for national elections. Second, the electoral turnout in these municipalities increases in those subnational elections in which candidates with Mapuche surnames compete. Third, the electoral turnout increases even more in those municipalities in which Mapuche mayoral candidates win in subnational elections.
