Reduplication of figurative and onomatopoeic verbs as a means of expressing multiplicity in the Yakut language (based on the novel by N.E. Mordinov-Amma Achchygiya "Springtime")
Authors: Samsonova Ekaterina Maksimovna
Published: October 2024

The object of research in this article is the reduplicated forms of Yakut figurative words and verbs, and the subject is the functional features of the manifestation in their semantics of various shades of multiplicity and repeatability. Based on the material of the famous novel by the Yakut classic writer N.E. Mordinov – Amma Achchygya "Springtime" (1944), cases of the use of such vocabulary in a literary text are considered. The structure of the article is made in such a way that the analysis of doubled figurative and onomatopoeic verbs is carried out separately; this is quite consistent with the differentiation of these two categories of words accepted in the Yakut linguistic tradition. Special attention is paid to examples of reduplication in analytical constructions formed by combining figurative (onomatopoeic) words with service verbs, and affixal action forms with the meaning of multiplicity. The application of a functional-semantic approach based mainly on the principle of "from to meaning", "from means to functions" allowed us to determine the list of multiplicity values expressed by doubled figurative and onomatopoeic verbs. The practical material was extracted by continuous sampling and presented in the text using the method of morphemic glossing. The novelty of this study lies in the consideration of doubled figurative and onomatopoeic words as one of the main representatives of the functional-semantic field of multiplicity. It has been established that these verbs, when used in a reduplicated form, have similar structural and semantic characteristics. If singleness is expressed by analytical formations of the type "onomatopoeic (figurative) root + gin- 'make' (also dee- 'speak' with onomatopoeic)", then the reduplication of the components of this construction conveys the meaning of multiplicity. In contrast to analytical tools, the semantics of repetition in affixal action forms of figurative and onomatopoeic verbs becomes more frequent and intense during reduplication. The analysis of the text showed that, depending on the object of description, these tools can perform either an artistic and descriptive function or convey an emotional assessment.
Vocabulary of the lexeme "memory" in the works of V.M. Garshin
Authors: Sun Yao
Published: October 2024

The author studies the fiction prose of V.M. Garshin, who was a vivid exponent of the painful issues of his epoch. The main attention is paid to the word "memory" - one of the key words in the writer's works. We find out whether the lexeme "memory" can be attributed to one of the fundamental bases in the prose of Vsevolod Mihailovich Garshin; and whether it is important to take into account the peculiarities of its use in translations of the Russian writer's texts into Chinese, taking into account that in China the interest to Russian literature is only increasing, and translations of Russian writers' works into Chinese have acquired a systematic character. Following the current processes of intercultural dialog, the question of the adequacy of text translation from one language into another arises in parallel. The article uses formal (statistical) analysis, as the work is just a precursor to a serious analysis of semantic variants and hermeneutic possibilities of a word. The analysis of scientific publications, as well as personal experience of reading Garshin's works convinces that such a phenomenon of the writer's artistic world as "word-accent" expressed by lexical forms of the noun "memory" remains outside the circle of study. It is concluded that Garshin's works are mostly built on memories with the key word "memory" and its derivatives. The using of this sign word is subject to the author's intention, it is intensional, characterizes the most important aspects of the writer's artistic world. As for the issue of translational interpretation of the writer's texts, special attention should be paid to the semantic shades of the word, its contextual sounding.
On the issue of using the features of the Chinese-language media discourse in teaching Chinese
Authors: Fomenko Evgeniia , Popova Anastasiia
Published: October 2024

The subject of the research in this article is the peculiarities of the discourse of Chinese-language media in East and Southeast Asia. The authors pay close attention to identifying linguistic tools used in them as part of the editorial board's targeted strategy, as well as the possibilities of using texts of this kind in the development of communicative competence when teaching interpretation and translation in a pair of Chinese – Russian languages. The source of materials for the study was the Internet news portals of a number of leading newspapers in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. The subject of the study is the discourse of texts on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The possibility of comparing texts posted on various media platforms was provided by the unity of the subject and the synchronicity of publication (October–November 2023). The following methods were used in the study: typological analysis in the selection of specific media, the study of selected articles using contextual and comparative analysis, linguodidactic analysis to determine the potential of using the type of texts under study as educational material. The authors solved the following tasks: criteria for the selection of Chinese-language media and news articles were developed, an analysis of the structure, vocabulary, grammar, and means of artistic expression of texts of Chinese-language media in the Asian region was carried out, patterns determining the features of the discourse of articles of a particular media were identified; targeted strategies of selected media resources in the representation of news publications were described; a conclusion was given on the possibility of using materials from Chinese-language media of Asian countries in the process of teaching translation from Chinese to students of various specializations, including linguistics, regional studies, Oriental studies. The relevance of this study is due to the need to expand the linguistic and regional horizons of future Sinologists in the context of the intensification of relations between Russia and China, as well as the countries of Southeast Asia. The authors did not find any works comparing the linguistic techniques of the discourse of Chinese-speaking media resources in China and Southeast Asian countries, as well as considering the possibility of using texts of this kind in teaching Chinese. This study is intended to partially fill this gap in sinological linguodidactics.
Comparative analysis of parataxis in conditionals and unconditionals as exemplified in Chinese and Russian
Authors: Dudanov Timofey Vasil'evich
Published: October 2024

Conditional and unconditional constructions of the Chinese language have been studied by a relatively small number of Russian linguists. Usually, both types of structures are considered in the context of conjunctions, but asyndeton in conditional sentences may also be of great interest, which was the subject of the author’s research while writing an article. The goal was to find different variants of expressing conditional and unconditional meanings from the point of view of parataxis (without conjunctions or connective words), as well as to compare these variants with the ways of expressing meanings in Russian. The material in Russian is provided only for the opportunity to compare different ways of expressing the condition in their native language and a foreign language by people who are not engaged in the study and research of the Chinese language. The selection of the material was carried out on the basis of the works by prominent Chinese and Russian linguists, as well as dictionaries and articles by Russian and foreign researchers. All the meanings given below are confirmed by examples from Chinese and Russian literature. Chinese examples are provided with transcription, subscript and overall translation of the sentence. According to the results of the study, a variety of conditionals and unconditionals without conjunctions was revealed. Asyndenton in Chinese is the object of scientific novelty in the research process. There were only cases where it was possible to choose a similar version of expressing conditionals and unconditionals in both Chinese and Russian. The material can be useful not only for sinologists and specialists in general linguistics, but also for people studying Chinese or Russian languages to expand their vocabulary and study various ways of expressing conditionality and unconditionality.
The evolution of the idea of the “beautiful soul” in Friedrich Schiller’s dramas
Authors: Voloshchenko Gleb Eduardovich
Published: October 2024

The article examines the evolution of the views of the German poet and playwright Friedrich Schiller on the concept of a "beautiful soul" as a harmonious combination of mind (form) and sensuality (matter). The idea of this evolution is formed on the basis of the poet's artistic works. The main objects of research are six of Schiller's dramas ("The Robbers", "The Fiesco Conspiracy in Genoa", "Don Carlos, Infante of Spain", "Mary Stuart", "The Maid of Orleans" and "William Tell"), which most vividly depict the poet's attempts to resolve the conflict between form and matter. A number of Schiller's theoretical works are considered as additional sources: on physiology, history and aesthetics. In turn, additional sources allow us to form an idea of the socio-political significance that Schiller attached to his vision of a "beautiful soul." The research is based on the following methods: descriptive, comparative and biographical methods of analyzing works of art. The author of the article proceeds from the premise that the poet, who began under the strong influence of the literary movement "Storm and Onslaught", quickly became disillusioned with Sturmer's individualist hero, whose goal was to maximize his own potential, albeit to the detriment of society. At the same time, it is noted that Schiller did not have confidence in the state and its laws, which seek to simplify the diversity of life by subordinating it to ideal forms. It is concluded that the existence of a "beautiful soul" acting at will and not limited by the law is possible only in a society in which the state has disappeared as an independent institution, merging with the people; in which there is no class stratification and a gap between ordinary citizens and rulers. The contribution of the author of the article is to develop the idea of Schiller as a kind of "ideologue" of a stateless society. The results obtained are planned to be developed in a series of articles devoted to the consideration of Schiller's philosophical views.
To the issue of specifics of Vasiliy Rozanov’s creativity (the experience of the interpretation of suppositions)
Authors: Akimov Oleg Yur'evich
Published: October 2024

This article is devoted to the analysis of several suppositions, related to Rozanov’s creativity and options of it’s interpretation. We mean by the supposition the guess and at the same time the concrete plan. This position makes it possible for us to bring together the different treatments to Rozanov’s creativity that can be found in the history of Russian philosophy. Simultaneously we consider as the supposition the convergence between different schemes of the mind and sides of the world, that Rozanov had suggested in his first book “On Understanding”. This approach helps us to realize, that the prepositions of the interpreters concerning the creativity of Rozanov are connected with his own suppositions. We presume the phenomenon of the potentiality is the general base of Rozanov’s vision, that links Rozanov’s suppositions to the conceptions of researchers and puts early and late Rozanov’s works together. We suggest, that the late works of Rozanov are the realized potentialities of his early ideas, that he expressed in his treatise “On Understanding”. Rozanov’s creativity gives us the opportunity to examine Rozanov’s spiritual search as the movement from the concrete particular images to the general (Rozanov’s metaphysics). Our theory basis on the conception of the hermeneutic circle. We come to the conclusion, that the main statement of Rozanov’s creativity, integrating it’s different features is the symbolism of Rozanov’s world. This symbolism can be explained by means of A.F. Losev's theory of the interpreted symbol and by some aspects of the doctrine of the chronotope by M. M. Bakhtin. We try to unite these theories, according to the creativity of Rosanov and understand his searches in such way. This approach gives us the opportinity to realize the ideas of Rozanov better.
An innovative city in modern culture
Authors: Baraboshina Natal'ya Vladimirovna , Ilivitskaya Larisa Gennad'evna
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the phenomenon of an innovative city from a cultural and philosophical perspective. The paper substantiates the characteristic features of an innovative city, namely: the tendency to move forward, dissatisfaction with the existing existence, the development of the category of opportunity from the point of view of assessing the innovative prospects of the city. The concept of "innovative city" in this study was compared with similar concepts of "ideal city", "city of the future", "fast city", "creative city". The distinction was made regarding the substantive, operational and dynamic aspects of the innovative potential of cities. In particular, for the concepts of "ideal city" and "city of the future", the most important is the substantive side of the innovation process, embodied in the ideal image of the city; while for the "fast city" the potential of innovation is associated with the idea of movement, trend, speed and multi-vector flow of change.  The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a phenomenological approach that substantiates the city as a semantic space-time construct with innovative development potential. The authors consider the substantive, operational and dynamic aspects of the concept of "innovation" in relation to urban transformation projects. Special attention is paid to the phenomenological aspects of the generation, implementation and translation of innovations to determine the strong semantic dominants of the "creative city", "fast city", "ideal city", "city of the future", innovative city as a whole. Analyzing the models of urban development, the difficulties of innovative programs related to the problem of determining the specific results of transformations, the lack of processality as such, inconsistency, utopianism, the predominance of the effect of the significance of mega-events over the practical results of innovation are emphasized. The methods of neutralizing the negative consequences of innovative strategies by maintaining a wide range of semantic alternatives that identify strong semantic dominants of the city; controlling the speed of changes that allow to "remove" the conflict between the anthropological and innovative dimension of the city; overcoming the ratio of innovativeness and trendiness, in favor of building the city's own unique imagery.
The interaction of social reality and cultural values in the art of installation
Authors: ZHang Rui
Published: October 2024

The subject of the study is the cultural definition of the phenomenon of installation as a phenomenon of modern art, in which there is an interaction of social reality and cultural values of society. The author examines in detail the development of installation art, which originated in the 1960s and developed under the influence of Dadaism, surrealism and environmental art. It is shown that the art of installation, which has unique advantages such as conceptuality and openness, has redefined the role and importance of works of art in socio-cultural discourses. Special attention is paid to the importance of various types of representation in works of art – installations – of the nature of social reality and cultural values. At the present stage, the development of installation art not only expands the boundaries of artistic innovation and promotes interdisciplinary research, but also has a significant impact on the development of the value sphere of society. Using the methods of scientific analysis, comparative research, generalization and literature review, the authors analyzed specific manifestations of installation art in modern socio-political realities: the impact on the formation of cultural identity in the context of globalization, the role in public life and public art, reflections on memory and history, as well as on future development. The main conclusions of the study are the provisions that installation art through its works reflects and criticizes social phenomena, identifies problems and contradictions in society, promotes cultural exchange and understanding, and also stimulates the creative abilities of viewers through involvement in active interaction with works of installation, strengthening the social function of public art. These provisions are confirmed by the analysis of examples of modern installation art, which allowed the author to determine the immediate prospects for development. In the forecast for the future, the author notes that installation art will depend on interdisciplinary cooperation with technology and social sciences, while such cooperation will provide opportunities for the development of not only culture and art, but also high-tech technologies and the social sphere.
The "Global Art Project" in Empirical Aesthetics
Authors: Popov Evgeniy Aleksandrovich , Zabneva El'vira Ivanovna
Published: October 2024

The article reveals the interdisciplinary potential of empirical aesthetics, including from the perspective of the formation of the concept of a "global art project". The main emphasis in the material is on the conceptualization of empirical aesthetics in comparison with other levels of aesthetic scientific reflection, such as philosophical aesthetics, analytical, receptive and others. It is shown that it is precisely in the aspect of the development of empirical aesthetics that relevant research practices have been developed that make it possible to study art from the point of view not of a form of social consciousness, but as an independent phenomenon of individual and collective human life. The article also provides arguments in favor of the opinion that art grasps reality, revealing its consolidating properties. Thus, the background of empirical aesthetics is revealed, which is necessary for understanding its scientific strategy.   The research methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach, as well as system analysis. These directions allow us to reveal the purpose of the article and solve the tasks set in it, in particular, the use of such a method as event analysis contributes to the formation of the so-called "global art project". The evaluation of this project is carried out at the theoretical and applied levels. A special contribution of the authors to the study of the "global art project" is the chosen perspective of the conceptualization of this research area, as well as the assessment of the heuristic value of the proposed methods and research practices in line with empirical aesthetics, confirming the importance of the "global art project". The main results of the undertaken work include the following provisions: (1) the specificity of empirical aesthetics in the study of the deployment of social reality and the meanings of human individual and collective existence in art is revealed; (2) it is established that the theoretical background of empirical aesthetics arises not only under the influence of the philosophy of art or classical aesthetics, but also in interaction with social knowledge and in particular, with the sociology of art; (3) The experience of using event analysis in the study of art is summarized.
Transformation of attitudes toward the history of the USSR in the regional press of the perestroika period
Authors: Saenko Angelina Vyacheslavovna
Published: October 2024

The policy of glasnost in the perestroika period served as an impetus for the transformation of the historical discourse adopted in the Soviet press. In addition to the revision of approaches to the country's pre-revolutionary past, the discussion centred on the so-called "white spots" in the history of the USSR. The aim of the paper is to trace the content and peculiarities of the transformation of attitudes towards Soviet history in the regional party and Komsomol press of the Kaliningrad region during the perestroika period. The study is based on the analysis of the total number of publications on historical issues in the main newspapers of the region in 1985-1991. - "Kaliningradskaya Pravda" and "Kaliningradsky Komsomolets". In the publications devoted to the history of the USSR before 1985, the main stages of Soviet history mentioned in the newspapers were identified. The list of the most significant historical figures, whose biography is reflected in the newspaper, was determined on the basis of the frequency dictionary. Special attention is paid to the issues of transformation of historical memory about the Soviet past. The newspapers were analysed using Max QDA 2020 content analysis software. Based on the frequency dictionary and expert analysis, a system of categories was developed: "stages of Soviet history", "subjects of the historical process", "political system of the USSR", "historical memory". The conclusions are drawn about the predominant preservation in the Kaliningrad press until the early 1990s of the previously accepted historical narrative with a fragmentary reference to the debatable historical topics of the glasnost era (the cult of personality, political repressions of the 1930s, the problem of reforming socialism).
Reconstruction of images encrypted in Nostradamus's "Prophecies".
Authors: Razumov Il'ya Kimovich
Published: October 2024

Previous historical and philological commentaries on Nostradamus' "Prophecies" by Prof. Brind'Amour, R. Prevost, P. Guinard, A. Penzensky, and D. Crouzet have led to the unexpected conclusion that many quatrains are uninformative as predictions; moreover, some of them describe events preceding the moment of publication, raising questions about the predictor's motivation. Against the background of the increased interest in the development of cryptology methods in the first half of the 16th century, it is appropriate to assume the existence of a hidden message in the "Prophecies". Recent work by the author has shown that the text of the "Prophecies" contains two types of cipher. The modified algorithm "scytale" is apparently used to change the sequence of quatrains and assign them certain dates of real time. Additionally, a large graphical cipher is invisibly embedded in the text, so that specific words or letters, when mapped as stains on a plane in the coordinates "century number – quatrain number", lead to images of human faces. These images likely serve as illustrations to the prophetic text, however, their low quality and the cipher author's tendency towards surrealism make it difficult to identify the characters. The aim of this work is to propose a new method for processing the raw data to obtain higher-quality images, called the "smooth assembly" method, and to discuss Nostradamus' graphical cipher in a historical context. The results of the study suggest that Nostradamus' graphical cipher was a unique experiment in embedding images in text and had significant scientific value for the development of steganography in the 16th century. This leads to the assumption that, in addition to predictive motivation (or instead of it), the cipher author pursued a purely scientific goal – the creation of a new promising method of covert information transmission.

The school was organized by the Faculty of History of Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Association "History and Computer". The purpose of the school is to introduce students to the latest trends in the development of the field of application of information (digital) technologies and methods of Historical Data Science in historical research, to form a modern understanding of data and methods of their processing in the field of historical science. This is the fourth Summer School in a row, which is held annually at the end of June and attracts a lot of attention from scientific youth. The school was attended by students, postgraduates and young scientists representing universities and scientific institutions from Russia and neighboring countries. The School lasts 4 working days. First, a lecture day was held, the next 2 days of classes were held in the format of master classes, during which participants had the opportunity to learn practical skills of working with methods and software. The final day included a plenary session, a conference of students and 2 round tables, then the results of the school's work were summed up. A memorable event of the school was a plenary report by a well-known expert in the field of artificial intelligence, K.V. Vorontsov, dedicated to artificial intelligence technologies in text analysis, information search and socio-humanitarian research, which caused a large number of questions and a lively discussion among the participants. Within the framework of the conference, scientific reports of students on various topics were presented, all of them made a positive impression on the audience, which included many teachers of the school. During the work of the final round table, an express survey was conducted regarding proposals on the topics of the master classes of the next school, in which the largest number of participants spoke in favor of artificial intelligence. The feedback from students received after graduation noted the relevance of the topic and the high scientific level of lectures and master classes.
Virtual reconstruction of the Tea Pavilion of the Usachevs’-Naydenovs’ city estate in Moscow of the 19th - 20th centuries: historiographical and source studies aspects
Authors: Yakovlev Fedor Vladimirovich
Published: October 2024

The preservation of historical and cultural heritage is one of the main tasks of modern science. Historians pay special attention to solving this problem, since a large number of historical cultural objects need to be preserved or have already been lost. In this regard, it is often necessary to reconstruct their appearance based on the existing set of sources. The problem of preserving historical and cultural heritage has also affected the Moscow city estate of the Usachevs - Naydenovs, located in the center of Moscow near the Yauza River on an Earthen Rampart. The territory of the estate is notable for a number of iconic buildings. Unfortunately, some of them have been lost. One of these objects was the Tea Pavilion, a building created in the late 1820s and early 1830s. Designed by Domenico Gilardi and Afanasy Grigoriev, famous architects who worked in the Moscow Empire style. The Tea Pavilion fell into disrepair after the 1917 nationalisation and, despite the fact that the Tea Pavilion underwent a restoration in the 1950s, the building was damaged after the fire. The ruins of the Tea Pavilion were finally lost by the end of the 1980s. This article aims to recreate the history of the Usachevs' - Naydenovs' estate and its owners, as well as the formation of a source base, including descriptive sources, drawings, plans, photographs, pictorial sources – in order to further develop a virtual reconstruction of the lost Tea Pavilion, which will have the necessary degree of reliability and will represent the way the Tea Pavilion looked like in the end of the 19th century. Our next article, which will be based on the materials of this study, will aim to describe the development of 3D models of the elements of the Tea Pavilion and the creation of its virtual reconstruction.
"Using Metaverse technologies to conduct virtual multi-user excursions: The experience of the Borodino Battle Panorama Museum"
Authors: Akhtamzian Nurlan Ildarovich , Ahtamzyan Amir Ildarovich , Nosova Ksenia Aleksandrovna
Published: October 2024

The research is devoted to the application of metaverse technologies in museum practice to create virtual multi-user excursions using the example of the Borodino Battle panorama Museum. The article discusses the possibilities of using 3D digitization of museum exhibits, which allow you to create digital copies of exhibits and integrate them into a virtual stage in which excursions take place. It also describes the development of a virtual space on the Spatial platform, which provides multi-user access to excursions through VR headsets, computers and mobile devices. Special attention is paid to the role of metaverse technologies in the museum business to popularize historical heritage, attract a new audience, and increase the accessibility of museum facilities for people with limited mobility and users from remote regions, which makes virtual tours an innovative approach in Russian museum practice.  The research uses the photogrammetry method to digitize museum objects and create digital copies of exhibits. The resulting models are processed in the software and loaded into a single scene on the Unity game engine. This scene is published on the Spatial metaverse platform, where multi-user tours are conducted on it. The novelty of the work lies in the integration of metaverse technologies for the popularization of historical heritage, which represents a new approach in the museum practice of Russia. For the first time, an interactive multi-user virtual tour of the digital copy of the museum was created, which allows visitors not only to inspect, but also to interact with museum exhibits in a 3D scene format, immersing themselves in the historical atmosphere of the 1812 era. Special attention is paid to the use of the photogrammetry method to create digital copies of exhibits and the development of a virtual space on the Spatial platform, which significantly expands access to museum objects. The article concludes that such excursions significantly increase the accessibility of museums to a wide audience, including people with limited mobility and residents of remote regions, and is also a new way of presenting historical and cultural heritage among a young audience.
Senior Personnel of the NKVD/MVD Special Camps in East Germany (1945-1950): Experience in Creating and Analyzing a Relational Database
Authors: Leontyeva Nadezda Il'inichna
Published: October 2024

The subject of this article is the specifics of staffing the leadership of the special camps of the NKVD/MVD, which existed on the territory of East Germany in 1945-1950. The indicators obtained as a result of the creation and processing of the database of the leadership of the special camps are analyzed. The information potential of the created database accumulating information from the studied array of documentary sources is characterized. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the following characteristics of the senior staff of special camps, reflecting the career trajectories of employees: departmental origin; previous service experience; promotion in the system of special camps; partisanship and party seniority. In addition, through the analysis of identified archival sources, general changes in the staffing of special camps and their personnel structure are considered. Based on the queries constructed to the database and the analysis of the information structured in it, the general and specific essential characteristics of the senior staff of special camps in their dynamics are revealed. The research is based on database methods and technologies closely related to the tradition of using quantitative methods in historical research. By its type, the created database is a datalogical relational model consisting of tables connected to each other. The database was created in the Microsoft Access database management system program. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that for the first time, on the basis of a wide range of archival sources, using database methods and technologies, such a little-studied problem in historiography as staffing of NKVD/MVD special camps in East Germany is considered comprehensively. A relational database created as part of the study, containing information about 80 senior employees of the special camps system, made it possible to identify the principles of filling the senior staff. It is shown that the staffing was heterogeneous. Its sources were both directly the structures of the NKVD/Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, as well as the SMERSH counterintelligence units and purely army structures. It is noted that non-core personnel were actively involved due to the constant shortage of personnel in the system of special camps, which became a characteristic feature of their functioning outside the USSR, in the occupied territory.
Del Olvido a la Recuperación: Usos y permanencia en los sitios de memoria abandonados de Chile: el caso de Pisagua
Authors:   , Yaksic Zumarán Isidora
Published: October 2024

Este estudio analiza los sitios de memoria en abandono y su reactivación, centrándose en los sitios de memoria de Pisagua, Chile. Los sitios principales incluyen la Ex Cárcel Pública, el Teatro Municipal y Mercado, y el Campo de Prisioneros. A pesar de que los sitios de memoria en Chile cuentan con protección oficial, algunos de estos lugares han sido abandonados y han perdido su importancia. Esta investigación aborda el problema del deterioro y abandono de estos sitios, planteando la hipótesis de que este fenómeno se debe a la variabilidad en la importancia asignada a la preservación del patrimonio, la fragilidad material de las estructuras y la erosión de la memoria colectiva y sus archivos. El objetivo principal es examinar cómo la reactivación de estos sitios puede contribuir a la regeneración urbana y la preservación de la memoria histórica y cultural. La metodología empleada es cualitativa, combinando estudios bibliográficos, análisis de campo y entrevistas con comunidades locales. Se realiza un levantamiento histórico y una clasificación de los sitios de memoria en abandono y rehabilitados, identificando su potencial para usos alternativos. Los hallazgos indican que la falta de uso y mantenimiento de estos sitios conduce a su degradación, lo que afecta negativamente la memoria colectiva y la identidad cultural local. Se destacan estrategias de conservación y reactivación que podrían revitalizar estos espacios, promoviendo su integración en la vida comunitaria y su preservación para futuras generaciones. Este estudio subraya la importancia de mantener vivos estos lugares de memoria no solo como recordatorios del pasado, sino también como activos valiosos para el desarrollo urbano y social. La reactivación de los sitios de memoria en Pisagua podría servir como modelo para otras localidades que enfrentan desafíos similares, demostrando cómo una conservación y uso adecuado de estos lugares pueden enriquecer la cultura y cohesión social, además de ofrecer oportunidades para el desarrollo económico y turístico.
Amenidades Comunes: Las áreas comunes en condominios como oportunidad para el desarrollo urbano de la periferia de la Región Metropolitana
Authors:   , Leal Velasco Juan Pablo
Published: October 2024

En un contexto de expansión de la mancha urbana, el desarrollo inmobiliario ha formado un escenario suburbano aislado y disperso en las periferias de Santiago, con el surgimiento de una amplia gama de condominios. Uno de los elementos más destacables dentro de las plusvalías de los condominios son las ‘amenidades’: equipamientos privados de uso colectivo tales como gimnasios, canchas deportivas, quinchos y — principalmente — áreas verdes comunes, representativas de una aspiración por un modo de vida autocontenido e idílico. Para lograr este modo de vida, las amenidades construyen un escenario artificial, basado en una naturaleza ajena al contexto real en el que se enmarcan. Esto asegura una experiencia de resguardo, seguridad y comodidad al interior de los condominios, supliendo las carencias recreativas y de esparcimiento del subdesarrollado contexto periférico.Las dimensiones desproporcionadas de las amenidades de los condominios periféricos con respecto su baja frecuencia de uso constituye un problema, especialmente si se considera la actual situación de crisis de acceso a áreas verdes en Santiago. Especulando sobre un escenario futuro de expansión de la mancha urbana y densificación de las periferias, el modo de vida suburbano autocontenido y de baja densidad de los condominios, carente de equipamientos y servicios públicos, no es urbanamente sostenible. Ante este escenario, replantear el uso y acceso de las amenidades representa una oportunidad para guiar desarrollo de las comunas periféricas. El proyecto de parques periurbanos busca transformar las amenidades en bienes de acceso público, interviniéndolas desde sus límites, sus usos de suelo y sus redes de equipamientos para crear nuevas centralidades beneficiosas para las futuras comunidades periféricas.
ELUCIDATION OF THE COMPOUNDS INVOLVED IN THE APPEARANCE OF AN HERBACEOUS OFF-FLAVOR WHICH AFFECTS QUALITY OF SWEET CHERRY (Prunus avium L.) cv. REGINA.
Authors:   , Villavicencio Romero Juan David
Published: October 2024

Este trabajo busca identificar los compuestos responsables del sabor herbáceo en la cereza (Prunus avium L.) cv. Regina, percibido por productores y consumidores. Se enfocó en el análisis de metabolitos volátiles y la expresión génica durante el desarrollo del fruto. El estudio se realizó en seis huertos del centro-sur de Chile, comparando la calidad y composición de volátiles. Mediante microextracción en fase sólida y cromatografía de gases-masas, se identificaron 39 volátiles. Las cerezas con sabor herbáceo mostraron mayor concentración relativa de aldehídos de seis carbonos y menor de alcoholes y ésteres, lo que sugiere un retraso en la maduración. Además, se caracterizó la familia de genes LOX en cereza y se cuantificó su expresión mediante RT-qPCR durante el desarrollo del fruto. Se evaluó el efecto del metil jasmonato en la reducción del sabor herbáceo, la distribución de volátiles y la expresión de los genes LOX, identificando a PaLOX10, PaLOX11 y PaLOX12 como candidatos clave en la producción de volátiles asociados a este sabor.

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterised by pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. It gradually worsens over time, making it difficult to move the shoulder. The exact cause is not always clear, but it can be associated with injury, surgery, or certain medical conditions. Treatment typically involves physiotherapy and pain management. The authors present a case of a 41-year-old male who complained of acute pain in the right shoulder joint over a period of 15 days. Examination revealed a restriction in shoulder Range Of Motion (ROM). The case was treated with a single session of three therapist-administered posterolateral Mobilisation With Movement (MWM) glides. No medication was prescribed to the patient and he was asked to follow-up in the Outpatient Department (OPD) for three days. The single session of posterolateral MWM glide, along with conventional physiotherapy, led to an increase in shoulder ROM and a reduction in pain. This approach can be considered a viable treatment option for frozen shoulder.

Class III malocclusion in growing patients is one of the most challenging problems in orthodontics in terms of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, mainly due to the unpredictability of the growth pattern in these patients. At this stage, malocclusion can be corrected in a variety of ways, depending on the degree of discrepancy and the pattern of malocclusion. Thus, the objective of this study was to demonstrate the importance of early treatment of Class III malocclusion in a child treated by using interceptive and corrective orthodontic treatment, first with an orthopedic approach associated with the rapid palatal expansion and Petit mask, and after with conventional orthodontic camouflage therapy using corrective fixed appliances and premolars extractions. We conclude that early interception through orthodontic mechanics and facial orthopedics proved to be an effective treatment alternative, yielding satisfactory and stable aesthetic-functional results, along with the patient’s satisfaction in utilizing orthodontic camouflage instead of undergoing orthognathic surgery.

A survey of 210 farmers in Haveri district, Karnataka, was undertaken to investigate the constraints they encountered in utilizing the extension services provided by the Department of Agriculture during 2018-19. The constraints encountered by farmers were categorized into five major categories. The study revealed that, in terms of information services, over two-thirds (71.90%) of the farmers reported a lack of available extension workers in their offices and irregular visits to villages and fields. This indicates a significant gap in the availability and accessibility of information resources for farmers. Majority of the farmers (73.33%) reported that time constraints prevented them from participating in extension activities offered by RSKs, followed by more than half (58.57%)  of the respondents who expressed that the location of extension activities was inconvenient. Regarding input services availed by farmers 70.00 per cent of farmers expressed non availability of required inputs (variety, chemical). Additionally, over three-quarters of farmers expressed dissatisfaction with the distance between their villages and Rural Service Centers (RSKs), making it difficult to access diagnostic services and technical support. Regarding developmental activities, a significant number of farmers, 77.14 per cent, reported delays in the construction of Krishi-Honda (agricultural machinery). Additionally, over two-thirds of farmers expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of access to drip and sprinkler irrigation sets for all categories of farmers. These constraints hinder the adoption of modern agricultural practices and limit the potential for increased productivity and income.

Employee engagement is one of the critical ingredients for organizational success, and ensuring high levels of attainment has always been among the nightmares of managers in the banking sector. Based on the situation described above, the study examined the impact of internal branding on employee engagement in commercial banks in Tanzania, and CRDB Bank at Morogoro Municipality is used as a case study. Knowing how internal branding strategies drive engagement is important, as the literature suggests that engaged employees are generally more productive and loyal and exhibit more commitment to their organizations than others. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 108 employees from a population of 136, using Likert-type scales to measure key variables. Information will be obtained by questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results indicate that brand leadership, commitment to the brand, and brand knowledge are substantial predictors of employee engagement. Brand leadership and commitment to the brand have higher coefficients, therefore being the strongest predictors of employee engagement. These facts, thus, mean that to achieve an enabling working environment that motivates and engages staff in workplace settings, internal branding strategies through investments in leadership development should be implemented within Morogoro Municipality and align leaders with the brand vision and values.

It assesses the relationship between bank credit variables such as bank loan, savings and lending rates on SME growth. The study population was the SMEs in Nigeria, and employed secondary data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s statistical Bulletins over a 27-year period (1992 – 2022). An ex-post facto research design was employed to determine the attributed of the quantitative research. The study employed the auto-regressive distributed Lag length (ARDL) to determine the long run and short-run relationship between the dependent variable and independent variables. The findings reveals that bank credit to SME’s has positive insignificant effect on SME’s growth. Savings and tine deposit has positive significant effect on SME’s growth. Lending rate has positive insignificant effect on SME’s growth.
Therefore, the bank should encourage savings and loans to provide adequate financing for SMEs expansion, which will thus have a significant effect on their growth.
