Satan’s Empire: Ancient Rome’s anti-Christian appeal in extreme metal
Authors: Swist Jeremy J.
Published: March 2019

This article discusses the previously unexplored intersection of the reception of classical antiquity in extreme metal with Satanic and anti-Christian themes. It is demonstrable that the phenomenon has roots in the genesis of extreme metal itself, especially in its inheritance from biblical and literary history of the associations between Satan and Roman emperors. As extreme metal evolved over the past three decades, that theme combined with the perception that imperial Rome had undertaken widespread and sustained persecutions of Christians, including spectacular executions for the sake of popular entertainment, throughout the three-century history of the early Church. This is despite the consensus of many modern historians that the Romans were largely tolerant of Christians and persecutions were brief, isolated, more humane, and cost much fewer lives than early Christian sources suggest. It is evident that metal artists inherit, and thereby perpetuate, a tradition manufactured by Christian sources that have largely been debunked; yet these artists depart from those Christian sources by denying the appeal of martyrdom and shifting sympathies to imperial Rome and its ‘Satanic’ emperors. Like Satan himself, these emperors function as symbols of masculine aggression and liberation of the passions from contemporary political and moral systems. Such anti-establishment sentiments, especially among Italian artists, can manifest in fantasies of a Roman Empire reborn. By their artistic license, extreme metal artists continue to reshape a literary and artistic legacy of the imperial Rome and constructions of persecution narratives developed over the course of the late antique, medieval and modern periods.
Negative determinations of intellect: A Hegelian critique of Slayer’s phenomenology
Authors: Copilaș Emanuel
Published: March 2019

This article sketches Slayer’s phenomenology in close connection with Hegel’s philosophy. It argues that, while the conceptual and teleological distance between the two parts is definitively a very large one, there are also important and rather unusual points of convergence on several topics, religion and war being the most prominent of them. Taking into account other seminal themes existent both in Slayer’s lyrics and, to a certain extent, in Hegel’s philosophy – like evil, criminality, scepticism and nihilism, besides the already mentioned religion and war, the article tries to introduce possible common grounds between these two radically different continents, arguing that Hegel’s dialectical method can be successfully extended also to apparently ‘exotic’ themes, as Slayer’s phenomenology, among many others.

Descifrando el desorden: instituciones participativas y conflictos en torno a megaproyectos en México
Authors: Zaremberg Gisela , Torres Wong Marcela , Guarneros-Meza Valeria
Published: March 2019

Este artículo ofrece un mapa de las «instituciones participativas» (ip) que se presentan en escenarios de conflicto en megaproyectos en minería, hidrocarburos e industrias de energía eólica e hidroeléctrica en México. Argumentaremos que existen disonancias significativas entre el marco jurídico que regula las ip y su implementación. Adicionalmente, se establecen hipótesis exploratorias en torno a posibles relaciones entre ip y tres resultados perseguidos por los principales actores involucrados en los conflictos antes señalados, que a su vez implicarían intercambios subóptimos entre sí: 1) impedir la instalación de megaproyectos, 2) disminuir la violencia y 3) obtener beneficios pecuniarios por parte de las comunidades afectadas por megaproyectos.
Reduction of Side Effects by Segmented Electrodes in Case of Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson Disease: A Case Report.
Authors: Schwarm Frank P. , Reuter Iris , Swoboda Maximilian , Uhl Eberhard , Kolodziej Malgorzata A.
Published: March 2019

Patients suffering treatment resistant Parkinson´s disease (PD) are potential candidates for deep brain stimulation (DBS). Commonly most implanted electrodes have a cylindrical shape with quadripolar electrode contacts and generate a symmetrical stimulation field around the lead. To reduce side effects through activation of neighboring fibers a new electrode design with segmented contacts was developed and enables a better adaption of the field of stimulation as well as a multi-target stimulation to improve therapeutic benefits.

We report about a 51-year-old male patient with a 15-year history of treatment-refractory PD, who was implanted with bilateral segmented electrodes in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) with St. Jude Medical Infinity™ DBS System (Abbott/St. Jude Medical, Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA). Despite a clear mood-enhancing effect, stimulation with ring electrodes caused motor side effects including rigor and speech disorder. With segmented electrodes an effective and gentle stimulation was achieved. The stimulation of the anterior segments in the central position of the electrode in the STN showed no side-effects and allowed a reduction of initial symptoms in an low stimulation amplitude.

Despite precise preoperatively planning and intraoperative trial stimulation, side effects of STN stimulation are very common. The application of segmented electrodes permits more options to reduce side effects rather than using ring electrodes. Studies with larger samples sizes are needed to establish the optional DBS electrode.
“A Broken Voice”: Iconic Distress in Shakespeare’s Tragedies
Authors: Amelang David J.
Published: March 2019

This article explores the change in dynamics between matter and style in Shakespeare’s way of depicting distress on the early modern stage. During his early years as a dramatist, Shakespeare wrote plays filled with violence and death, but language did not lose its composure at the sight of blood and destruction; it kept on marching to the beat of the iambic drum. As his career progressed, however, the language of characters undergoing an overwhelming experience appears to become more permeable to their emotions, and in many cases sentiment takes over and interferes with the character’s ability to speak properly. That is, Shakespeare progressively imbued his depictions of distress with a degree of linguistic iconicity previously unheard of in Elizabethan commercial drama. By focusing on the linguistic properties of three passages of iconic distress – Hamlet’s first soliloquy, Othello’s jealous rant, and King Lear’s dying words – this article analyses the rhetorical adjustments Shakespeare undertook in his effort to raise the level of verisimilitude of emotional speech in his plays.1
Playing With Tempests
Authors: Mahler Andreas
Published: March 2019

Current adaptations of Shakespeare’s Tempest invariably tend to focus on the postcolonial. Despite the indubitable contemporary political relevance of the postcolonial in Shakespeare’s play, this article argues that a much larger receptional impact of it lies in its aesthetic structure. Drawing on the Tempest’s comedic nature, it contends that the play’s ‘romantic’ content (or syntagmatic romance plot) is secondary only in relation to its primary point of enabling, and staging, funny and/or metafictional inventions and ideas (i. e. paradigms), thus displaying and corroborating the play’s elaborate polyperspectivity. This ‘open perspective structure’ (M. Pfister) finds itself in particular taken up in the cinematographic Tempest adaptations by Derek Jarman and Peter Greenaway, who use the well-known plot to foreground, and celebrate, the possibilities and options of the multimedium ‘film’. But where Greenaway tends to re-harmonise this unleashed plurality again by synchronising all the different paradigms back into a unified (and at times rather lengthy and monotonous) celebration of art as art, Jarman takes the play’s enabling structure much more seriously in opening up his movie to a well-nigh endless inclusion of ever more unexpected, and new, paradigms of pleasure.
Re-Walking the Paths of Pride and Prejudice: Intersectional Perspectives on Pedestrian Mobility in Jo Baker’s Longbourn
Authors: Dinter Sandra
Published: March 2019

This paper examines the appropriation of the pedestrian theme from Jane Austen’s famous novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) in Jo Baker’s rewriting Longbourn (2013). First, it analyses walking in Austen’s novel, where it appears as a mild but harmless form of female rebellion and emancipated courtship in a coherent pastoral landscape. Subsequently, it moves on to Longbourn, which, by focusing on the walking of the servants who remain marginal in Austen’s pretext, recasts this pedestrian theme as a mode of intersectional critique and subjectivises and fragments the topography of Pride and Prejudice. The paper scrutinises how Baker depicts the differences in and limits of pedestrian mobility in Georgian society under the influence of dominant ideologies of race, gender and class and finally eradicates these inequalities by constructing a female character who transgresses the boundaries that Austen’s protagonist Elizabeth Bennet always leaves intact.
ATP Synthase: Structure, Function and Inhibition
Authors: Neupane Prashant , Bhuju Sudina , Thapa Nita , Bhattarai Hitesh Kumar
Published: March 2019

Oxidative phosphorylation is carried out by five complexes, which are the sites for electron transport and ATP synthesis. Among those, Complex V (also known as the F1F0ATP Synthase or ATPase) is responsible for the generation of ATP through phosphorylation of ADP by using electrochemical energy generated by proton gradient across the inner membrane of mitochondria. A multi subunit structure that works like a pump functions along the proton gradient across the membranes which not only results in ATP synthesis and breakdown, but also facilitates electron transport. Since ATP is the major energy currency in all living cells, its synthesis and function have widely been studied over the last few decades uncovering several aspects of ATP synthase. This review intends to summarize the structure, function and inhibition of the ATP synthase.
Regulating Speculative Housing Markets via Public Housing Construction Programs: Insights from a Heterogeneous Agent Model
Authors: Martin Carolin , Westerhoff Frank
Published: March 2019

Since the instability of housing markets may be quite harmful for the real economy, we explore whether public housing construction programs may tame housing market fluctuations. As a workhorse, we use a behavioral stock-flow housing market model in which the complex interplay between speculative and real forces triggers reasonable housing market dynamics. Simulations reveal that plausible and well-intended policy measures may turn out to be a mixed blessing. While public housing construction programs may reduce house prices, they seem to be incapable of bringing house prices much closer towards their fundamental values. In addition, these programs tend to drive out private housing constructions.

Nachleben der Antike und Figurationen barocker Zeiterfahrung in Cy Twomblys Orpheus-Studien
Authors: Eusterschulte Anne
Published: March 2019

An einer Serie von Studien Cy Twomblys zum antiken Orpheus-Mythos versucht der Beitrag, in Rekurs auf Walter Benjamins Überlegungen zu Zeitlichkeit, Schrift und Allegorie, Transpositionen des barocken Vanitas- Verständnisses nachzuzeichnen. Der Fokus liegt auf paradoxen Figuren von Entschwinden und überzeitlichem Nachleben, Verstummen und Nachhallen, die sich als Spuren eines transitorischen Prozesses inmitten entrinnender Zeit lesen lassen. Anklänge an barocke Vergänglichkeits-Allegorien manifestieren sich über die Verschränkung von Temporalitäten in der materialen Faktur von Schrift und Schreibgesten. Sie weisen auf Bedeutungsschichten antiker Mythologie, auf die klangliche Dimension poetischer Sprache und führen auf ein Nachleben der Antike in musikalischer Skripturalität
Die Ästhetik des Todes und der Vanitas im Italo-Western
Authors: Borgstedt Thomas
Published: March 2019

Motive des Todes und der Vanitas kennzeichnen den Italo-Western auf markante Art, was ihn sowohl vom klassischen Hollywood-Western als auch von den deutschen Karl May-Verfilmungen deutlich unterscheidet. Das Genre erfährt in den italienischen Western eine umfassende Adaptation an die katholisch-mediterrane Kultur Italiens. Neben ihrer spezifischen Ikonographie betrifft dies auch die Hervorhebung der Zeitlichkeit als filmisches Darstellungsmittel und eine spezifische negative Anthropologie und Naturauffassung mit quasi-barocken Zügen. Die Zitation und Verwendung dieser traditionellen Elemente dient aber nicht nur der Kritik des amerikanischen Westernmythos und der Anpassung an das Ethos der eigenen Kultur. Sie steht zugleich im Dienst der kulturellen Erneuerungsprozesse der 1960er-Jahre, des Individualismus und Hedonismus der Popkultur, der ‚Coolness‘ ihrer neuartigen Heldenfiguren und dem spielerischen Traditionsverhältnis ihrer postmodernen künstlerischen Darstellungsweisen
„Ein Rauch / diß Leben ist“

NovelexcGenes Involved in Formation of the Tubular Excretory Canals ofCaenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Al-Hashimi Hikmat , Chiarelli Travis , Lundquist Erik A , Buechner Matthew
Published: March 2019

Regulation of luminal diameter is critical to the function of small single-celled tubes, of which the seamless tubular excretory canals of Caenorhabditis elegans provide a tractable genetic model. Mutations in several sets of genes exhibit the Exc phenotype, in which canal luminal growth is visibly altered. Here, a focused reverse genomic screen of genes highly expressed in the canals found 18 genes that significantly affect luminal outgrowth or diameter. These genes encode novel proteins as well as highly conserved proteins involved in processes including gene expression, cytoskeletal regulation, and vesicular and transmembrane transport. In addition, two genes act as suppressors on a pathway of conserved genes whose products mediate vesicle movement from early to recycling endosomes. The results provide new tools for understanding the integration of cytoplasmic structure and physiology in forming and maintaining the narrow diameter of single-cell tubules.
Brugada Syndrome: Progress in Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Pappone Carlo , Santinelli Vincenzo
Published: March 2019

Brugada syndrome (BrS) represents an inherited disorder associated with risk of sudden cardiac death due to VF in patients without structural heart disease. Currently, BrS is diagnosed by typical cove-shaped ST-segment elevation >2 mm in >1 RV precordial lead V1, V2 occurring spontaneously or after a sodium-channel blocker provocation test without any further evidence of malignant arrhythmias. An ICD should always be implanted in symptomatic BrS patients to prevent sudden death, despite high rates of complications with these devices. In asymptomatic people, an electrophysiological study should be performed to evaluate the need for an ICD. The recent discovery of a functional substrate has revolutionised our approach to the pathophysiology and management of BrS. Promising new therapeutic options have emerged in the last 3 years. Ajmaline is able to determine the extension of the substrate by prolonging the duration and fragmentation of abnormal epicardial electrograms. Substrate ablation results in the disappearance of both coved-type ECG and ventricular tachycardia/VF inducibility. These findings are clinically relevant, suggesting that epicardial ablation guided by ajmaline infusion may be an effective therapeutic option in BrS, potentially removing the need for ICD implantation.
Obesity and Atrial Fibrillation: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology and Novel Therapeutic Opportunities
Authors: Vyas Vishal , Lambiase Pier
Published: March 2019

Obesity is already a major global public health issue, implicated in a vast array of conditions affecting multiple body systems. It is now also firmly established as an independent risk factor in the incidence and progression of AF. The rapidly rising morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs associated with AF despite implementation of the three pillars of AF management – anticoagulation, rate control and rhythm control – suggest other strategies need to be considered. Compelling data has unveiled novel insights into adipose tissue biology and its effect on arrhythmogenesis while secondary prevention strategies targeting obesity as part of a comprehensive risk factor management programme have been demonstrated to be highly effective. Here, the authors review the epidemiological basis of the obesity–AF relationship, consider its underlying pathophysiology and discuss new therapeutic opportunities on the horizon.
Ventricular Tachycardia Isthmus Characteristics: Insights from High-density Mapping
Authors: Martin Ruairidh , Hocini Mélèze , Haïsaguerre Michel , Jaïs Pierre , Sacher Frédéric
Published: March 2019

In the context of structural heart disease, ventricular tachycardia (VT) is related to surviving fibres in incomplete scar. New technologies which allow electroanatomic mapping at higher density and with smaller, more closely spaced electrodes have allowed new insights into the characteristics of VT circuits. VT isthmuses are complex structures, with multiple entrances, exits and dead ends of activation. The isthmus is frequently defined by regions of functional block and several VT circuits can be possible in a VT “critical zone”. In this review, we discuss these new insights and how they may improve VT ablation strategies, as well as discussing emerging technologies which may further develop our understanding.
Atrial Fibrosis: Translational Considerations for the Management of AF Patients
Authors: Tzeis Stylianos , Asvestas Dimitrios , Vardas Panos
Published: March 2019

Fibrosis plays a fundamental role in the initiation and maintenance of AF, mainly due to enhanced automaticity and anisotropy-related re-entry. The identification and quantification of atrial fibrosis is achieved either preprocedurally by late gadolinium enhancement MRI or intraprocedurally using electroanatomic voltage mapping. The presence and extent of left atrial fibrosis among AF patients may influence relevant decision making regarding the need for anticoagulation, the adoption of rate versus rhythm control and mainly the type of ablation strategy that will be followed during interventional treatment. Several types of individualised substrate modifications targeting atrial fibrotic areas have been proposed, although their impact on patient outcome needs to be further investigated in adequately powered prospective randomised controlled clinical trials.
The Atrial Phenotype of the Inherited Primary Arrhythmia Syndromes
Authors: Conte Giulio , Schotten Ulrich , Auricchio Angelo
Published: March 2019

Over the past two decades, our understanding of inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes has been enriched by studies that have aimed to define the clinical characteristics and the genetic, cellular and molecular features predisposing patients to an enhanced risk of ventricular arrhythmias. In contrast, very little is known about the causative role of inherited cardiac channelopathies on atrial conduction abnormalities possibly leading to different atrial tachyarrhythmias. The diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with an inherited cardiac channelopathy presenting with atrial arrhythmias remains highly challenging and is in urgent need of improvement. This review will assess the current knowledge on atrial electrical abnormalities affecting patients with different forms of inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes, including long and short QT syndromes, early repolarisation syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and Brugada syndrome.

Effect of voluntary exercise on intracellular signalling pathways of angiogenesis in the sciatic nerve of type 1 diabetic castrated male rats
Authors: Zanjani SB , Chodari L , Bavil FM , Sadeghzadeh P , Shahabi P
Published: March 2019

Objectives

Impaired angiogenesis in sciatic nerve is a major complication of diabetic neuropathy. Protein kinase B (AKT) and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathways play critical roles during capillary-like network formation in the angiogenesis process.

Methods

Twenty-four adult male Wistar rats (weight: 250–300 g) were used in the research. The rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 6): (1) diabetic (Dia), (2) diabetic + castration (Dia-Cas), (3) diabetic + exercise (Dia-E), and (4) diabetic + castration + exercise (Dia-Cas-E). Type 1 diabetes (T1D) was induced with streptozotocin (50 mg/kg). After 6 weeks, sciatic nerve was separated and used for histological evaluation and determination of phosphorylated AKT (P-AKT) and phosphorylated ERK (P-ERK) levels by ELISA method.

Results

Glucose levels decreased in the Dia-E group compared to the Dia-Cas group (p < 0.01). In addition, our finding shows that exercise in the Dia-Cas group diminished blood glucose levels compared to the Dia-Cas group but this effect of exercise was not significant. Voluntary exercise in the diabetic castrated group decreased P-AKT protein and increased P-ERK 1/2 protein levels in the sciatic tissue compared to the diabetes group significantly (p < 0.05). Histopathological findings showed that Dia-Cas group with 6-week exercise training significantly raised the number of microvascular density in the sciatic tissue of diabetic rats compared to the diabetic group (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Voluntary exercise in diabetic rats increases angiogenesis in the sciatic nerve. The possible mechanism is the increase of P-ERK 1/2 but not P-AKT levels in the sciatic nerve of T1D rats.

“A way to think of the client holistically”: Factors influencing students’ ICF regard and uptake
Authors: Scholten Ingrid , Ross Kate , Bickford Jane
Published: March 2019

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Adoption of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) may facilitate holistic delivery of health and social care and improve interprofessional practice, however there is limited uptake across the spectrum of health professions. Improved commitment will partially depend on student education, yet related educational research is scant.MethodIn order to inform teaching, learning and future research practices, this exploratory mixed methods investigation surveyed 101 student speech-language pathologists to describe how the ICF is regarded and used, and factors contributing to its acceptance.ResultsAs with their professional colleagues, student uptake of the ICF was limited. Those who did use the ICF applied the framework and terminology alone, rather than its classification, coding or core set features, for client-centred rather than management tasks. Similarly, students appreciated the ICF for its ability to foster holistic practice, rather than its capacity to enhance workplace communication, a key factor in interprofessional practice. Statistical analysis of responses to scaled survey questions revealed those learning experiences valued by students, especially case studies, lectures, ICF application in university assignments and on placement. Survey responses were significantly influenced by two factors: number of student placements and whether or not students had only a paediatric placement. Thematic analysis of students' open responses revealed two principal and one secondary theme: "ICF framework as a way of thinking"; "experiential learning optimises application of the ICF"; and "rudimentary understanding restricts ICF uptake".DiscussionFindings are discussed in relation to a proposed Transition from Theory to Practice model. Explicit integration of a biopsychosocial approach to practice across the curriculum should result in deeper understanding of the ICF, increased ability to apply it to interprofessional practice and, importantly, a greater sense of agency to effect change.
On Wittgenstein, Radical Pluralism, and Radical Relativity
Authors: Ramal Randy
Published: March 2019

In this paper, I introduce the idea of ‘radical relativity’ to elucidate an undervalued justificatory context for Wittgenstein’s affirmation of radical pluralism. I accept D.Z. Phillips’s definition of radical pluralism as the view that certain radical differences between people’s ordinary practices prevent the latter from being reduced to a necessary set of common interests, meanings, or truths. I argue that radical relativity provides this form of pluralism with the logical justification it requires in that it accounts for how pluralism became radical. More specifically, I argue that the contingent, non-causal, and yet non-arbitrary relation between ordinary concepts and the pluralistic world through which they emerge explains the reality of radical pluralism. Radical relativity is suggested in Wittgenstein’s three notions of ‘concept formation’, ‘agreement in reaction’, and ‘world pictures’, I argue, without endorsing traditional forms of relativism. Finally, I show that although D.Z. Phillips and Hilary Putnam promote notions of pluralism indebted to Wittgenstein, neither philosopher utilizes the radical relativity suggested in his work to justify his respective version of pluralism or Wittgenstein’s version of radical pluralism.

La productividad neológica de la derivación en un léxico técnico: una mirada diacrónica.
Authors: Corveddu Mario Salvatore
Published: March 2019

En la España de los siglos XVIII y XIX, los avances de la ciencia y de la técnica impactaron profundamente los antiguos oficios, modificando la estructura conceptual a través de una masiva introducción de nuevas nociones. A nivel lingüístico, esta situación se tradujo en una necesidad léxica cuya extensión condujo la lengua a un rápido proceso de creación neológica. El articulo pretende contribuir al conocimiento de este período de la historia de la lengua española, analizando la productividad del mecanismo lexicogenético de la derivación en un léxico técnico[1]: el curtido y adobo de cueros. Adoptando una perspectiva diacrónica, el estudio se propone dos objetivos. El primer objetivo es la descripción cuantitativa del fenómeno, observando las dinámicas neológicas en los apartados que constituyen el dominio investigado. El segundo objetivo es analizar los afijos con el fin de individuar los patrones que regularizan el recorrido a este mecanismo.[1]El estudio presenta algunos de los resultados de un trabajo más amplio de tesis doctoral donde, a partir de la reconstrucción del léxico histórico del curtido y adobo de cueros, los mecanismos neológicos han sido objeto de estudio.
La situación de Cuba en las investigaciones sobre disponibilidad léxica
Authors: Fernández Leyva Haydeé , Pérez  Marqués Celia María
Published: March 2019

Dentro de los estudios lexicales a comunidades lingüísticas, los de disponibilidad léxica han cobrado auge en las últimas décadas, especialmente en la española a partir del llamado de Humberto López Morales con la coordinación del Proyecto Panhispánico de Disponibilidad Léxica (PPHDL). Valiosas y numerosas han sido las respuestas en toda la extensión de la Península Ibérica e Hispanoamérica. Sin embargo, fundamentalmente por dificultades materiales, los avances de Cuba son incipientes. Dada la dispersión en áreas geográficas, momentos de realización, publicaciones en eventos y el hecho de que algunos se encuentran inéditos, el objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer una panorámica de los estudios de disponibilidad léxica (DL) realizados en Cuba (2011-2017) para aquilatar los avances del país en este tipo de investigación. Para cumplirlo se relacionan 26 investigaciones, que constituyen la totalidad de las que se tiene conocimiento. Entre ellas, se encuentran trabajos de diplomas, tesis de maestría y artículos científicos que demuestran la labor que se está realizando en distintas provincias del territorio cubano.
RURAL TOURISM: THE ESSENCE AND ASPECTS OF CONCEPTS AND TERMINOLOGY
Authors: Matviyenko Natalia , OKLOVYCH Iryna
Published: March 2019

Many scientists work on the research of various aspects of the rural tourism functioning, but despite this, in the scientific field still remains the problem of uncertainty and ambiguous interpretation of the definitions in rural tourism, which is primarily due to the multidimensional nature of this type of activity and the lack of understanding of its essence. Therefore, the objective of this article is to study and generalize the terms and concepts that occur in the conceptual field of rural tourism. Different approaches are applied to determining the essence of rural tourism not only in Ukraine but also abroad. The most common of them is the definition of rural tourism as one being implemented within rural areas. But, in our opinion, this approach is controversial and cannot claim to be the most objective, as in the practices of dif ferent countries there is diversity not only in the types and forms of rural tourism, but also in relation to the territorial size of rural administrative units, their definition by population etc. And the peculiarity of rural tourism is not only in its implementation in the countryside, but also in the specifics of tourist services that are provided. The article analyzes the definition of the “rural tourism” concept proposed by different authors, specifies the use of the terms “rural tourism” and “rural green tourism” in the scientific field, describes the foreign approaches to the definition of rural tourism. The relationship between the concepts of “rural tourism”, “agro-tourism” and “ecotourism”, which is often debatable, is also defined. It can be argued that rural, agro- and ecotourism have different contents and imply different goals of activity. But in the field of science there is a commonplace approach to understand rural tourism as a kind of synthesis of three varieties - eco-tourism (green), agro-tourism (farmer) and rural tourism. At the same time, the concept of “rural tourism” in its contents is much broader than the concept of “agro-tourism”, which acts as one of its most common organizational forms, and to a certain level correlates with the notion of “ecological tourism”, although they are not identical. The article proposes a generalization of the essence, specific features and functions of rural tourism, based on modern research in this direction and the asser tion that the main service of rural tourism is not just providing tourists with temporary residence in the country farmstead, but provision of a comprehensive service for tourists, as well as taking into account its role as an instrument for ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of rural areas
URBAN SETTLEMENT IN THE KYIV REGION: DYNAMICS AND STRUCTURE
Authors: DOTSENKO Anatoly
Published: March 2019

The article deals with the socio-geographical processes of the development of urban settlement in a specific region of Ukraine, such as Kyiv Region, where a relatively large, branched and stable urban settlement network has historically been formed. In the process of functioning of this network, cer tain features and disproportions of the structure of the urban network, in par ticular towns and cities of urban type, have been identif ied, which has caused some problems for the further development of urban settlements. Geographical situation (location around the Ukrainian capital) makes significant influence on the development of urban settlements in the Kyiv region. Over the past 27 years there have been significant shif ts due to its dynamism: e.g., two new cities emerged on the basis of urban-type settlements; one city has moved from the middle-size to the small category; two large villages have been moved to the category of urban-type settlements, etc. Multivectoral socio-economic development resulted in significant differences in the urban settlement systems of the Kyiv region and adjacent regions. Taking into account the tendency of urban settlement system development in 2001-2016, as well as peculiarities of the structure of urban and urban-type settlements, the author developed the forecast of the development of urban settlements in the Kyiv region and justified directions for solving their problems. Solving the problems of socio-economic development of urban settlements in the Kyiv region requires a differentiated approach to the study of settlements, depending on their population, functions, geographical location, etc. The problem of activating the socio-economic development of small cities is particularly acute. This problem at the beginning of the XXI century began to be gradually solved in the process of implementing two national programs for small cities, but these programs have not been implemented due to the termination of the state funding. Monofunctional small towns of Kyiv region need special attention. The main directions of their development are: technical and managerial improvement of existing enterprises, construction of new industrial enterprises, operationally interconnected with the existing ones, increase of investments, strengthening of transport and social infrastructure, thus contributing to attractiveness and competitiveness of these cities.
ON BİRİNCİ KALKINMA PLANINDA YER ALACAK ÖNCELİKLİ KALKINMA POLİTİKALARINA YÖNELİK TOPLUMSAL BAKIŞ AÇISININ İNCELENMESİ: TR72 BÖLGESİNDE BİR UYGULAMA

Araştırma kapsamında on birinci kalkınma planında
kalkınma ana başlığı olarak yer verilmesi düşünülen politikalardan hangilerinin
Türkiye için öncelik taşıdığının ve bu ana başlıkların altında öncelikle
izlenmesi gereken kalkınma politikalarının neler olduğunun ortaya konulması
amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla on birinci kalkınma planı il yerel paydaşı
toplantılarına Kayseri, Sivas ve Yozgat illerinde Şubat 2018 döneminde katılan
genel katılımcılardan, genç katılımcılardan ve kadın katılımcılardan
Türkiye’nin kalkınmasında öncelikli gördükleri ilk beş ana başlığı ve bu
başlıklar altında izlenmesi gereken politikalardan en önemli gördükleri iki
tanesini işaretlemeleri istenmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak T.C
Kalkınma Bakanlığı tarafından oluşturulan on birinci kalkınma planı vatandaş
anket formu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin frekans dağılımları çapraz
tablo yardımıyla ve ki-kare bağımsızlık testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.
İllere göre ve katılımcı kategorilerine göre yapılan analizler sonucunda
öncelikli görülen kalkınma politikaları olarak eğitim, tarım ve kırsal kalkınma
ile demokrasi, adalet ve güvenlik politikalarının ön plana çıktığı tespit
edilmiştir. Bu üç kalkınma ana başlığına ilave olarak Kayseri ilinde enerji,
Sivas ilinde teknolojiye dayalı yenilikçi ve rekabetçi üretim, Yozgat ilinde
ise istihdam politikaları öncelikli görülen kalkınma politikaları olarak ön
plana çıkmaktadır. On birinci kalkınma planında yer verilecek olan kalkınma
politikalarının önem olarak önceliğinin belirlenmesinde araştırmanın
bulgularının dikkate alınmasının önem arz ettiği düşünülmektedir.
