The article provides an overview of activity of the department of logic and methodology of science of the H.S. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy, National Academy of Science of Ukraine. This activity includes scientific research, translation of philosophical literature, organization of seminars on urgent problems of modern philosophy. Research projects, on the one hand, are based on scientific traditions formed over the years in the Institute, and on the other hand, they focus on the transformations in scientific cognition and science, and build the projections for the future. It presents methodological backgrounds of the project «Semiotic analysis of cultural phenomena» (2018–2020), and outlines research tasks of the projects «Communicative transformations in modern science» (2020–2021) and «Logical, ontological and axiological dimensions of modern scientific knowledge» (2022–2024). Involvement of young scholars in research in logic, methodology and philosophy of science is the major challenge for the department.
Memory in Terms of Logic and Semiotics
Authors: Viatkina Nataliia
Published: December 2021

The phenomenon of memory is considered as a component implicitly present in the process of information communication. A short typology of memory kinds that form a referential field around so-called semantic memory is given. Through the approaches of Yu. Lotman and R. Jacobson, the classical notion of time is considered through the relationship "Past-Present-Future", which is closely related to the problems of memory. The focus is on how could the memory be considered within logic and by means of logic? As one of the ways of solving the point, to apply the tools of tense logic to the problem through the analysis of the works of Anatoly Ishmuratov (1946–2017), a prominent Ukrainian logician, is proposed. The classifications of the tenses by O. Jespersen, H. Reichenbach, W. Bull are considered. The subjective and objective axes of orientation, which form the basis of calendars, charts and scales, as fragments of time, are analyzed. According to Ishmuratov, these instruments – schemes, diagrams, etc. can be considered languages. The possibility of language objectification of meaning determines the relationship of logical inference, and thus the structuring of semantic areas, which are memories, by means the language of logic and in accordance with its structures. Through the study of logical and cognitive conditions of action, A. Ishmuratov continued to develop ideas of tense logic and their application to explain the psychological perception of objective time. He construed a scheme of semantic connections of memory as a mental act that reproduces the life path of the individual; he distinguished between memories and "pseudo-memories", which together influence the reassessment of past events, shape the individual`s experience and his ability to construe alternatives to the future and reasoning about it. A special place in A. Ishmuratov's research is occupied by his explication of temporal three-valued logic and application of temporal modalities to the analysis of so-called transient states. Further study of such approaches could help to make sense of rational explication of memory, testimonies, reminiscences of past events and give interesting results.
Will and Volition: Personal Conditions of Possibility of Being an Agent
Authors: Laktionova Anna
Published: December 2021

Will is a very old important philosophical concept, an analysis of which is very specific, if not odd, comparatively with the others (when it fruitfully proceeds in terms of criteria). This concept (‘will’) is going to be used to provide and clarify conditions of possibility for person of being an agent. In doing that I refer to the correspondent pieces of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus and Philosophical Investigations; and to their interpretations by M. Alvarez in “Wittgenstein on Action and Will” (2009) and D. K. Levy in “Morality without Agency” (2017). Person is essentially constituted by ‘powerless’ will in terms of ‘understanding’ that is experienced during her life. Action depends on and manifests understanding by will of a personal attitude to some states of affairs. Will does not incline a person to particular desires about preferable states of affairs or actions. Will is not about states of affairs. By willing I value the world, its portions, they appear significant, important to me. Volition is treated as related to will. Both are personal conditions of being an agent with priority of agency as capacity realized by rational actions.
Age and Geochemistry of Basite-Ultrabasite Intrusions of Saltych Anticlinorium (West Azov)

In the Saltych anticlinorium of the West Azov, small intrusions of rocks of basic and ultrabasic composition are known in the middle reaches of the Obitochna, Kiltychiya and Burtychiya rivers and in the upper reaches of the Obitochna river. They are composed from amphibolized peridotites, pyroxenites, actinolithites, tremolithites, hornblendites, amphibole and other shales. These intrusions are considered "fractured intrusions", which are rooted in the already deployed rocks of the Archean age. In the stratigraphic scheme they are referred to the Novoselytske association. Intrusions break through the veins of syenites, pegmatites and aplite-like granites. Metaultrabasites, according to I.S. Usenko and G.L. Kravchenko, these are ultrabasic rocks of the normal series, which were formed, probably, because of differentiation of basaltic magma. The main and ultrabasic rocks of these intrusions have not been studied enough yet — their age, geodynamic conditions of formation have not been determined, the potential for minerals has not been fully revealed. For this purpose, we determined the microelement composition of meta-ultrabasites, metabasites and acid rocks by the ICP MS method and determined the age of monazite from veins of aplite-like granites that break through the metapyroxenites of the Kamyshuvatka intrusion. According to the obtained geochemical and mineralogical data, the vein rocks of medium and acid composition, which break through the intrusions of the ultrabasite-basite composition at the Saltych anticlinorium, have a core genesis. Zircon in them is relict, and syngenetic monazite was found only in the veins of aplite-like granites that break through the metapyroxenites of the Kamyshuvatka intrusion. According to the dating of this monazite, it has been determined that the upper age limit for the formation of intrusions of the ultrabasite-basite composition of the Novoselytske association is 2051.8±3.8 Ma. Peridotites and pyroxenites of these intrusions could be formed from melts of the depleted upper mantle, which were fractionated in intermediate magmatic chambers. In peridotites (#mg = 0.74-0.86) of the Kamyshuvatka intrusion and intrusion near the Reva farm, the Ni content (510-826 ppm) is lower than that of Clark for ultrabasic rocks, and the chromium content at the level of Clark and below it is Cr — 1250-2260 ppm. Positive anomalies of Ti and Eu indicate the processes of fractionation of the original magma of pyroxenites. The formation of intrusions of the ultrabasite-basite composition of the Saltych anticlinorium of the Azov megablock is probably connected with the activation of the Earth’s mantle about 2050 million years ago.
The Attempts of the Mazepian Emigration to involve the Crimean Question into the International Policy of French Kingdom in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century
Authors:   M.S. Hrushevskyi Institute of Ukrainian Archaeography and Source Studies, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Potulnytskyi Heorhii
Published: December 2021

Being at the political and diplomatic service of King of France Louis XV for more than three decades (from 1729 to 1759) Hryhor Orlyk, the son of the Ukrainian Hetman Pylyp Orlyk, was committed to furthering the cause of his father. Traditionally, in the context of the political tasks of the French kingdom, he addressed, on the one hand, the incorporation of the Cossack factor into the foreign policy of the Versailles Cabinet, and, on the other hand, the Crimean question. At every stage of his diplomatic service, which we have distinguished (the 1730s, 1740s, and 1750s respectively), the Hetman’s son set different tasks to resolve the Crimean issue and, accordingly, tried to implement them. Through his consistent, permanent, and persistent actions, Hryhor Orlyk contributed to the traditional matter of Hetman’s Ukraine integration into the international policy of the Versailles Cabinet, along with the Cossack and Crimean factors. In the 1750s, one of the last representatives of the Mazepian emigration Fedir Myrovych and Fedir Nakhymovskyi joined the corps of Orlyk’s son Hryhor. They became his effective assistants in the matter of political and legal recognition of the Cossack factor as one of the dominant foreign policy activities of the Versailles Cabinet by the French political elite. Being in Crimea in the 1750s, Myrovych and Nakhymovskyi acted as special emissaries of the Versailles Cabinet maintaining contacts with it directly through Hryhor Orlyk. They contributed in every way to the policy of the kingdom in Crimea in connection with the activation of the Cossack factor there. Old Mazepa’s supporters assisted the Hetman’s son in the implementation of the military and political cooperation between France and Crimea and the Ottoman Empire, but they also attempted to explain the essence of Russian policy aimed at terminating the independence of the Kosh both to the Khan and to Zaporozhian Cossacks in Crimea. The author concludes that as the envoy of the French Crown in Crimea, Hryhor Orlyk made the last attempt to involve the Crimean Khanate to the problems related to the restoration of the Cossack statehood solving the Crimean-Cossack problem, which had been consistent since the sixteenth century. All Mazepa supporters by conducting their activities in Crimea not only contributed to raising the issue of integrating the Cossack factor as an integral part into the international policy of the Versailles Cabinet, but also helped to legitimize and substantiate the latter in the concept of involving Turkey and the Crimean Khanate into the struggle for Ukraine’s liberation from Russian domination
Activities of Consulates of Socialist Countries in Kyiv (Late 1940s – 1980s)
Authors:   the Institute of History of Ukraine, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Matiash Iryna
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the study is to clarify the main activities of foreign consulates in Kyiv in the period after World War II to the restoration of state independence of Ukraine in 1991 and to determine the features of their interaction with public authorities and NGOs of the Ukrainian SSR. The research methodology is based on the principles of scientificity, historicism, systematization. General scientific and special scientific methods are used, in particular archival heuristics, potestar imagology, prosopography. The scientific novelty of the research results consists in the reconstruction of activities of foreign consulates in Kyiv during the researched period, the creation of a collective portrait of foreign representatives in Kyiv, the clarification of the personalities of consuls general and features of their interaction with the state government and public organizations of the Ukrainian SSR based on the archival information found in published and unpublished sources by the author. Conclusions: The right of the Ukrainian SSR to foreign policy was restored on February 1, 1944, but the Soviet leadership did not intend to give the republic real powers. This decision was due to the desire of the USSR to get the opportunity for the largest possible representation in the emerging UN. The center of the formation of organizational and legal bases of the interaction of the Ukrainian foreign policy department was the Soviet People's Commissariat (later - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), the Central Committee of the CPU exercised control over the implementation of the center's decisions. In the cities of destination, foreign missions were under the triple supervision of the foreign ministry, party bodies and the soviet KGB structures, which led to their balancing between official cooperation and veiled ideological confrontation. Given the subordinate status of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, there were established not diplomatic missions (embassies), but consular offices (consulates general and consulates) in its administrative center Kyiv. Foreign consuls were mostly career diplomats with work or study experience in the USSR or party workers
1991: at the Origin of Building Hungarian-Ukrainian Inter-State Relations
Authors:   Eötvös Loránd University, Paladi Renata
Published: December 2021

On 31 May 1991, during the three-day visit of the leadership of the Ukrainian SSR to Budapest, there were signed nine documents, which ultimately were crucial for the development of Hungarian-Ukrainian bilateral relations. The working visit of the Ukrainian delegation, headed by the Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Leonid Kravchuk, was preceded by many months of intensive preparatory work on both sides. In this study, the author tries to give an overview of this process based on declassified archival documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary and primarily referring to the Hungarian bibliography. At the beginning of the study, the author gives a brief description of the foreign policy goals of the Republic of Hungary to the Ukrainian SSR on the verge of the 90s. Then will be given a brief description of the content of the main meetings that were organized between the Hungarian and Ukrainian sides, as well as the reaction of the Soviet leadership to the mutual rapprochement of the two neighbouring states. Based on archival materials, the author pays special attention to issues that were of great importance in the development and regulation of Hungarian-Ukrainian bilateral relations, namely 1) the Treaty of Good Neighborliness and Cooperation, 2) the Declaration on National Minorities and 3) the Consular Convention. The paper concludes with a brief review and assessment of the visit of the Ukrainian delegation to Budapest in May-June 1991 and gives a summary of the content and the terms of all nine signed documents
Human Being in History vs History in Human Being – Part 3: Noospheric Transformation, Empathy and Phenomenon of Cognitive History
Authors:   the Institute of History of Ukraine, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Gorenko Oleg
Published: December 2021

The article is a continuation of the author’s previous attempts to investigate profound ties between history and psychology. The perspectives to enrich cognitive potential of modern historiography as well as possibilities to apply cognitive science achievements and, in particular, cognitive psychology, are being analysed in this study. Special attention is paid to so called “cognitive history”, peculiarity of its interpretation and scientific functioning in the paradigm of Information society. The concept of cognitive history, put forward by O. Medushevska is studied; the estimation of its informational goals and cognitive priorities is proposed. Steady growth of cognitive competition on global and national levels in the period of transition from biosphere to noosphere as well as epistemological topicality of classic approach of V. Vernadsky and P.T. de Chardin are stated here. The necessity to reconsider basic approaches of harmonizing biospheric processes with consideration of steady development requirements is accentuated and cognitive aspects of interaction between world and national history are outlined. The need to significantly strengthen the cognitive dimension of the general process of updating the theoretical and methodological tools of modern historiography as a key area of accumulation of historical experience is emphasized. The urgent need for a new historical and methodological reflection on the concept of empathy is emphasized both in the interests of productive research perception of historical reality and in order to adequately adapt to the challenges of noosphere civilization
Written Heritage of Transylvanian Princes in the Archival Funds of Ukraine
Authors:   Ferenc Rákóczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education, Chotari Yurii
Published: December 2021

The written legacy of the Transylvanian princes preserved in Ukrainian archival funds is a less researched area. The aim of the article is to shed light on the documentary heritage of two Transylvanian princes preserved by the archival funds of Ukraine. The methodology of the research is based on the description of the sources, with the help of which new data is introduced into the scientific stream. Archival-descriptive methods were applied that can be used to exploit the historical data in the records. The scientific novelty of the article is about exploring sources that have not been published so far or have already been mentioned in the foreign literature, but are less known in the historical literature of Ukraine. Conclusions: The present study covers the documentary legacy of two princes, György Rákóczi I (1593-1648) and his great-grandson Ferenc Rákóczi II (1676-1735), examining the letters in the State Archives of the Transcarpathian Region, which were signed by them. Although the Transylvanian princes were not independent rulers, they left a significant mark in European history in the administrative, military and political spheres. Their military-political careers had an impact on the peoples of the region, the Ukrainians, the Hungarians, the Poles and the Germans alike. Of all the princes of the Rákóczi dynasty, the documentary legacy of the princes mentioned above is the richest in the State Archives of the Transcarpathian Region. The princes in question were suffering in the European space between the two great powers of the time, the Habsburgs and the Turkish Empire, and could succeed only with great effort. Letters, decrees, and other orders written or issued in the princely chancelleries, the description of which appears in this article, are essentially the result of the present research. These expand the image of the relationship between the peoples living in the principality and the Rákóczis, who often acted in political coercion. A detailed examination of the princes' letters of donation, the treaties with the rulers, or the relations with the poor peasantry may be of interest for further research

This article finds out the main internal and international political events and processes in the Kingdom of Romania in the first half of 1921 covered at the reports of the envoy, later the Ambassador, of the Republic of Austria Wilhelm Stork, much of which is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. In writing the article, the authors used general scientific and special methods, including archival heuristics. According to the results of the study, it was stated that in the first half of 1921 the internal political situation in Romania looked tense, but controlled. At that time were taken measures to prevent events of internal strife, as was the case with the newly formed Communist Party, being controlled externally, fact, which drew the attention of diplomats. The Government, comprehending the inevitability of changes, carried out agrarian reform and streamlined church relations, while pursuing a consistent policy of Romanianization of the territories that were included in the kingdom after the First World War. At the same time, everything was done to get along with the neighbors, protecting themselves from misunderstandings with them and from the threat of being left alone in the case of a Bolshevik invasion. It has succeeded in either concluding relevant agreements, signing protocol of intentions or making significant progress during the negotiations. An example of such success was the Polish-Romanian agreement on a defense alliance and joint defense against the enemy from the east. The actions aimed at creating a defense alliance for protection against Hungary, in which other interested states were involved, seemed more consistent. One of the ways to consolidate the actions of diplomats was the conclusion in 1921 of marriages between members of the Romanian and Greek dynasties. This practice will continue with the marriage between a representative of the Romanian and a representative of the Serbian dynasty later more. The only thing that failed was to reach an agreement with Soviet Russia, respectively in two main tasks - to achieve recognition by the Bolsheviks of the inclusion of Bessarabia in Romania and the return of Romanian gold and foreign exchange reserves, the waste of which the Bolsheviks denied
Uso de denosumab para el quiste óseo aneurismático de columna. Reporte de un caso y revisión bibliográfica
Authors: Lanari Zubiaur Felipe , Godoy Adaro Alfredo Osvaldo , Bazán Pedro Luis
Published: December 2021

Los tumores vertebrales de columna tienen una frecuencia muy baja. La incidencia de quiste óseo aneurismático es del 1-4% de todos los tumores. Su ubicación predominante es la columna lumbar, en mayor medida, en el arco posterior. Según estudios publicados, esta enfermedad se comporta de forma agresiva, por la compresión radicular que genera debido a su expansión. Si bien hay bibliografía sobre el tratamiento quirúrgico del tumor y su resección en bloque y embolización, no hay experiencias sobre el tratamiento con anticuerpos monoclonales. Existen muy pocos artículos que corroboren un tratamiento para las recidivas o los quistes óseos aneurismáticos inoperables o intralesionales, los cuales dejan la posibilidad abierta a otras técnicas. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 38 años con lumbocruralgia. En los estudios, se detecta una tumoración, y la biopsia por punción y las imágenes confirman que se trata de un quiste óseo aneurismático. Se planifica el tratamiento con embolización preoperatoria y exéresis intracompartimental mediante cirugía posterior con liberación del saco dural. A los seis meses, el tumor recidiva. Se indica tratamiento con denosumab por dos años, se realizan controles periódicos y se constata la remisión de los síntomas y la mejoría de las imágenes.

Festa do Jazz
Authors: Dias José , Nunes Beatriz
Published: December 2021

Since 2003, each year for three days, the cultural heart of Lisbon becomes a unique space, adopted and shaped by a diverse jazz ecology. Festa do Jazz is a jazz festival which showcases Portuguese artists, hosts a national jazz schools’ competition, and provides an annual space for debates on the state of jazz in the country. Festa do Jazz emerged as a multidimensional experience and celebration of Portuguese jazz in a country still reinventing itself as a modern democracy, and within an ever changing and challenging European context as a European Union member-state. It became the first annual and regular large-scale event to bring together different generations of the Portuguese jazz ecology. More importantly, it was accepted and embraced by that ecology as the national platform for debating the ways in which they could promote gender balance, multigenerational interchange and social inclusion through jazz. In this article, the representation of female musicians at Festa do Jazz is analysed. The study was conducted combining dialogic ethnography and quantitative and comparative analysis of all occurrences of female participation in Festa, from 2003 to 2018. Results show overwhelming evidence of gender imbalance and an extremely low participation of female artists and students in what is broadly accepted as the most important showcase of jazz talent in Portugal.

Pricing and promotion: A literature review
Authors: Aguilar-Barrientos Sara , Villegas-Gomez Juliana , Arias-Salazar Alejandro
Published: December 2021

This article intends to carry out a systematic review of the literature on pricing and promotion, as variables that impact profitability in organizations. To achieve this purpose, a systematic review was performed upon the most relevant academic journals (according to Scimago and Country Rank), for the period between 2018 and 2020. The article puts into evidence the correlation between pricing and promotion, as well as the different price-promotion tactics employed by organizations (including coupons, free samples, loyalty programs, discounts and cross selling, among other practices). An array of external factors was also found that affected pricing and promotion performance, making the study more complex. Therefore, despite the correlation existing between the variables at issue, it can be concluded that the success of a price-promotion strategy does not depend exclusively upon itself, but that the results of a monetary discount can be affected by multiple environmental phenomena. Finally, the text concludes with a presentation of certain endogenous factors that can impact the results of price-promotion strategies.

Published: December 2021

The study was conducted to know the perceived social support of elderly of Dharwad, Karnataka and Sibsagar district of Assam. A differential research design was used to compare the perceived social support of elderly residing in rural areas of Northern Karnataka and Upper Assam. The sample of the study 60 constituted 60 elderly aged 60 years and above, were randomly selected from two rural areas namely Kuburgatti (Dharwad district) and Halwating (Sibsagar district), comprising of 30 samples (15 male and 15 female) from each area. The tools used were the self structured questionnaire, Socio Economic Status (Aggarwal et al., 2005) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988). The result showed that 51.66 per cent of elderly of both the regions received high support from their spouse, family and friends, followed by 40.00 per cent who reported moderate support and 8.33 per cent who reported low support. Significant relationship was found between family type, family size, marital status, education, occupation, socio-economic status and perceived social support of elderly. Thus, age, education, occupation, marital status, family type, family size and socio-economic status might be the associated factors for perceived social support among older people. Apart from spouse, family members and friends also played non-negligible roles on the elderly’s wellbeing. Frequencies of contacting with family members and friends were more strongly associated with life satisfaction, happiness, and self esteem of the elderly.

A pot experiment was conducted during summer season of 2018 at Net House, Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh to study the influence of different levels of saline and sodic irrigation water on soil properties. The treatment consists of four levels each of salinity (2, 4, 6 and 8 dS m-1) and sodicity (5.0, 10.0, 15.0 and 20.0 SAR) of irrigation water by adopting factorial CRD with three replications. The available macronutrients (N, P2O5 and K2O) and organic carbon of soil after harvest of the crop were found maximum with EC-2 dS m-1 and SAR-5.0 level of irrigation water. The water soluble and exchangeable Ca, Mg and Na and soil properties like EC2.5, ECe, pH2.5, pHs, CEC and ESP was found maximum with EC-8 dS m-1 while water soluble and exchangeable K was found maximum with EC-2 dS m-1. The water soluble and exchangeable Na was found maximum with SAR-20.0, whereas water soluble and exchangeable Ca, Mg and K were found minimum with SAR- 20.0. The soil properties like ECe, pH2.5, pHs and ESP of the soil was found maximum with SAR- 20.0, but CEC was found maximum with SAR-5.0. The combined effect of saline and sodic irrigation water was found significant on available N and water soluble cations Ca++, Mg++, Na+, K+, exchangeable Na+, ESP, ECe and pH2.5 of soil after harvest of groundnut.

The Lumbajong block of Karbi Anglong district of Assam is characterized by undulating topography comprising of hillocks and lowland paddy fields. Cultivation of rice in traditional ways for years without adequate and balanced use of chemical fertilizers and with little or no use of organic manure have caused severe fertility deterioration resulting in stagnating or even declining productivity of the paddy field soils. Spatial distributions for organic carbon, available N, available P and available K were examined in the soil samples of selected rice fields in 102 different locations covering six villages in the block to evaluate the fertility status of the block. The study revealed that there is much variation in soil fertility status of soils developed on various land forms in the area as the soils were having low to high in organic carbon (0.42 to1.12 %), low to medium in available nitrogen (175.62 to 376 kg/ha) content; low in available P (3.86 to 28.29 kg/ha) and low to high in available K (71.68 – 439.04 kg/ha) contents. The soils of Lumbajong block were characterized as medium-medium-low-medium (MMLM) category based on the nutrient index calculated with respect to organic carbon, available N, available P and available K.

The present investigation was conducted to find the correlation and path-coefficient analysis for yield and yield contributing characters in Ramnad Mundu chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) during Kharif 2018-19. The experiment was conducted on Forty-seven Mundu chilli genotypes for 15 characters, which was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with two replications. From correlation study dry fruit yield per plant showed highly positive correlation with number of fruits per plant (0.971 G, 0.894 P), ripened fruit yield per plant (0.991 G, 0.949 P), number of seeds per fruits (0.383 G, 0.32 P), 1000 seed weight (0.369 G, 0.332 P), capsaicin % (0.302 G, 0.256 P) and number of primary branches per plant (0.267 G, 0.251 P) at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Path-coefficient analysis of different characters contributing towards the highest positive direct effect via number of fruits per plant (0.973), ripened fruit yield per plant (0.991), no. of seeds per fruit (0.383), 1000 seed weight (0.364), capsaicin % (0.302) and number of primary branches per plant (0.267). Hence, direct selection based on these characters would be effective in crop improvement through plant breeding in Mundu chilli.

India has been known as a rich source for valuable medicinal Shrubs. These Shrubs are found and distributed in throughout India and various parts of world. Since the ancient time, Shrub species have been used as the source of botanical medicine by the human beings. Shrubs are the richest source of medicine due to the presence of biochemical, which are useful to cure the various diseases. Usefulness of medicinal Shrubs is well documented since the time immemorial. The present study includes ethno-botanical importance in which vegetative parts of Shrubs which is commonly used by different local community. Ethno-botanical density as well as diversity may variable region to region and habitats to habitats. Keeping this in view an extensive survey work was carried out in Agra (Western part) of Uttar Pradesh state of India, for the medicinal Shrubs resources of Agra, Uttar Pradesh to obtain info about the traditional uses, knowledge of local people and traditional healers about these popular shrubs. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that find 21 species is a useful medicinal used to treat different human and livestock ailments. Their body parts are using for curing different types of serious diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, asthma, piles, dengue fever, typhoid fever, blood bleeding etc. in human beings, domestic animals and other wild animals.

Kindergartens education influence on primary school students' educational success in the parent's assessments
Authors: Proshkova Zoya
Published: December 2021

The article examines the influence of kindergarten education on primary school students' success in the students' parents' assessments. The research relevance is explained by the need to comprehend the family factor in the educational process at the early stages of personality development. The following issues are discussed: family ideas about primary school student educational success, the relationship between school choice and kindergarten attendance, parental involvement in kindergarten, and primary school education of children.
In the study's empirical part, 40 informal interviews were conducted with informants whose children studied in public and private kindergartens. The author presents a parental assessments comparative analysis of kindergarten education effectiveness. When studying the interviews, Russian computer programs for processing unstructured texts were used.
It was found that the majority of parents believe that kindergarten education has a positive impact on the child's school success in primary grades. Parents who have sent their children to a private kindergarten rate the education benefits they receive most highly. The main criteria for the primary school student's success in the family are the child's academic performance. Among other indicators of success, the interviewed parents named friendship with classmates, respect for the first teacher, work in study clubs, participation in an intellectual academic competition, and a child's good mood for attending classes. No connection was found between school choice and the preschool education type. The school choice is influenced by the parental involvement style in the child's education in the early educational socialization stages: mentoring or liberal. It turned out that families whose children attended a public kindergarten tended to be mentoring behavior, as opposed to a more liberal attitude towards the children education of parents who chose a private kindergarten.
The prospect of the study is to expand the empirical base of the project and include in the sample informants who choose to homeschool their children.
Figuras retóricas para registrar história(s): discursos sobre as mortes por Covid-19 no Brasil
Authors: Carmelino Ana Cristina , Ramos Paulo
Published: December 2021

Este artigo busca refletir sobre o funcionamento de uma das técnicas retóricas usadas em discursos: as figuras. A abordagem será feita com base em mortes provocadas por Covid-19 no Brasil. Para isso, consideram-se como corpus de estudo duas capas de jornais brasileiros, o carioca O Globo e o paulistano Folha de São Paulo, mais especificamente as edições que registram quando o país ultrapassou as 100 mil e as 200 mil mortes pelo coronavírus. O objetivo é mostrar o papel argumentativo que a metonímia e a repetição imprimem aos textos em questão. Essas figuras foram relevantes para a composição das duas capas. A de O Globo utiliza fotos de várias pessoas que morreram por causa da doença. A da Folha de São Paulo reproduziu calçados usados por algumas das vítimas. A análise se fundamenta em pressupostos teóricos de estudiosos da Retórica e da Nova Retórica, especialmente no que diz respeito às figuras retóricas.
