Estudo Cartográficoda cidade vivida pela população em situação de rua de Londrina/PR
Authors: Minikowski Achete Janaina , Tieko Suguihiro Vera Lucia , Alievi Alan Alves
Published: February 2025

A produção da cidade, marcada pela exclusão, impede que diversos grupos tenham acesso à moradia adequada, relegando-os à informalidade e negando-lhes o direito à cidade. Tendo como recorte espacial Londrina/PR, este estudo investiga como a população em situação de rua (PSR) percebe e experiencia a cidade. Através da pesquisa-ação, com observação participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas e diário de campo, buscamos compreender a cidade a partir da perspectiva da PSR, revelando uma realidade muitas vezes invisível para a população em geral. Os resultados indicaram que a PSR vivencia a cidade de forma distinta, destacando a falta de acesso a serviços básicos, a estigmatização e a invisibilização. A pesquisa demonstra a importância de ouvir as vozes da população em situação de rua para construir uma cidade mais justa e inclusiva.
Metapher und Formular. Überlegungen zu einer allgemeinen Theorie der Erfahrung und der religiösen Sinnbildung durch Metaphern im Anschluss an Jürgen Frese und Wilhelm Schapp
Authors: Stünkel Knut Martin
Published: February 2025

Der Artikel untersucht das Zusammenspiel von Metaphern und Formularen in der Entstehung von Erfahrung und in der religiösen Sinnbildung. Dabei werden die theoretischen Ansätze von Jürgen Frese und Wilhelm Schapp herangezogen. Metaphern schaffen Anschlüsse zwischen verschiedenen Erfahrungsbereichen und strukturieren Sinn durch Geschichten. Formulare wiederum disziplinieren diese Sinnbildung, indem sie als verbindende und verbindliche Schnittstellen zwischen Individuellem und Allgemeinem fungieren. Der Artikel zeigt, wie Metaphern und Formulare gemeinsam den Prozess der Sinnbildung in religiösen Kontexten ermöglichen, und illustriert dies anhand materieller und sprachlicher Beispiele aus unterschiedlichen religiösen Traditionen.
Defining Genetic Determinism: Three Old Concepts, One New Problem and a Modest Proposal
Authors: Akbay Gökhan
Published: February 2025

In this paper, I assess whether certain concepts of genetic causation, namely, the “gene for a trait,” norm of reaction and heritability can capture a feasible version of genetic determinism in the postgenomic era. The result is mostly negative, due to the various shortcomings of those concepts. “Gene for a trait” is obsolete because it implies monogenic causality for human behavioral traits. Norm of reaction, although theoretically the best alternative, is not an option in human subjects, due to ethical considerations. The strength and the weakness of heritability lies in its being obtained by non-experimental methods. The advantage is that it is compatible with polygenic inheritance models and can be estimated by non-experimental methods. The disadvantages are related to its causal interpretation, especially in humans. Besides, the missing heritability problem demonstrated that modern genomic methods like genome-wide association studies come short on accounting for the causal paths from genomes to highly heritable traits. Based on the new understanding of genetic causation, I define a weak form of genetic determinism.

«Цезарепапизм» церковно-государственных отношений в православной империи: оценки историков и канонистов XIX–XX вв.
Authors: Бежанидзе Г.В. , Фирсов А.Г.
Published: February 2025

Понятие «цезарепапизм» используется для характеристики средневековых церковно-государственных отношений в православных странах как минимум с середины XIX в. Обвинениям в цезарепапизме подвергалась и Русская Церковь, особенно в связи с синодальной реформой императора Петра I. В современной науке существует мнение, что этот термин не вполне подходит для характеристики положения Византийского императора в Церкви. Тем с большей осторожностью следует использовать его для петровской эпохи. В конце XIX — первой половине XX в. исследователи оценивали петровскую реформу с точки зрения современных им представлений о Церкви как общественной институции, независимой от государства. Но для церковно-государственных отношений в Российской империи начала XVIII в. более подходит средневековое понимание православного государства как христианского общества, в котором Церковь и государство связаны неразрывно.

The concept of “caesaropapism” has been used to characterize medieval churchstate relations in Orthodox countries since at least the middle of the 19th century. The Russian Church was also accused of Caesaropapism, especially in connection with the synodal reform of Emperor Peter I. There is an opinion in modern science that this term is not quite suitable for characterizing the position of the Byzantine emperor in the Church. The more caution should be used for the Petrine era. At the end of the 19th — the first half of the 20th century, researchers evaluated the Petrine reform from the point of view of their contemporary ideas about the Church as a public institution independent of the state. But for church-state relations in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 18th century, the medieval understanding of the Orthodox state as a Christian society, in which Church and state are inextricably linked, is more suitable.
Святитель Мардарий (Ускокович) и И. С. Пальмов
Authors: Костромин К.А.
Published: February 2025

Известный сербский святитель, основатель Американо-Канадской сербской епархии, в дореволюционную эпоху жил в России и в 1916 г. закончил Петроградскую Духовную Академию. Его научным руководителем был профессор Академии Иван Саввич Пальмов, который сочувственно отнесся к его работе. Известно, что они пересекались и ранее, в рамках деятельности Славянского благотворительного общества. В статье история их контактов рассматривается в динамике и подвергается осмыслению. Использован еще неизвестный российским читателям важный исторический источник — мемуары святителя Мардария. Главные выводы статьи заключаются в том, написание иеромонахом Мардарием диссертации об А. С. Хомякове было в известной степени предопределено сходством взглядов будущего святителя и профессора Пальмова, которое проявилось во время их общения во внеакадемической активности обоих, что не помешало святителю Мардарию впоследствии занять кардинально иную идейную позицию, когда он оказался в США.

The famous Serbian saint, founder of the American-Canadian Serbian Diocese, lived in Russia in the pre-revolutionary era and graduated from the Petrograd Theological Academy in 1916. Its reviewer was Academy Professor Ivan Savvich Palmov, who was sympathetic to his work. It is known that they intersected earlier, as part of the activities of the Slavic Charitable Society. In the article, the history of their contacts is considered in dynamics and subjected to comprehension. An important historical source, still unknown to Russian readers, is used — the memoirs of St. Mardary. The main conclusions of the article is that the writing of a dissertation on A. S. Khomyakov by Hieromonk Mardary was to a certain extent predetermined by the similarity of the views of the future by the saint and Professor Palmov, who manifested itself during their communication in the extra-academic activity of both, which did not prevent Saint Mardary from subsequently taking a radically different ideological position when he ended up in the USA.

Published: February 2025

Hydrotherapy, or water-based rehabilitation, is a therapeutic practice that utilizes the physical properties of water—buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure,
viscosity, and temperature modulation—to facilitate healing, pain relief, and functional recovery. This approach provides a low-impact environment ideal
for individuals with musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain conditions, and mobility challenges. Hydrotherapy is increasingly adopted in clinical and athletic
settings for its multifaceted benefits, including improved circulation, reduced inflammation, enhanced muscle strength, and relaxation. This paper explores
the physiological and psychological mechanisms underlying hydrotherapy, highlights its applications in rehabilitation and wellness, and examines its role
in enhancing patient outcomes across diverse populations. By integrating scientific principles with practical applications, hydrotherapy offers a versatile
and effective solution for promoting health and recovery
Roman Jakobson and Slavische Rundschau (1929-1939)
Authors: Mecco Martina
Published: February 2025

In 1929-1939, during his stay in Czechoslovakia, Roman Jakobson collaborated intensively with the Prague German-language journal Slavische Rundschau (Slavic Review). The periodical was founded and run by two German Slavists affiliated with the Deutsche Universität Prag, Gerhart Gesemann and Franz Spina. Being the head of Slavische Rundschau’s Ostslavisches Referat (East Slavic Section), Jakobson had to handle the correspondence with scholars from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and edit or co-edit their contributions. Slavische Rundschau’s collection, which was never processed, contains an extensive number of materials related to Jakobson’s activity in the journal. This article aims to give a preliminary analysis of these materials (correspondence and editorial documents). Due to their importance, particular attention will be given to correspondence Jakobson received from Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian scholars (mainly linguists or philologists) and institutions.

Authors: Minigalieva Ilzira A. , Sutunkova Marina P. , Klinova Svetlana V. , Kungurtseva Alexandra K. , Valamina Irina Е. , Sahautdinova Renata R.
Published: February 2025

Introduction. Nanoscale particles, which are formed as a by-product of technological processes in the mining and metallurgical industries, pose high risks to workers’ health. The liver, as the center of detoxification processes in the body, is a target organ when almost any harmful chemical factors of the production environment enter the body, and their impact can cause the development of pathological processes in the liver.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the features of the hepatotoxic effect of various elementoxide nanoparticles (EO NPs) on an experimental in vivo model under subchronic exposure.
Material and methods. We examined hepatotoxicity of EO NPs in rats in three experiments with repeated intraperitoneal injections of NPs (1) PbO and CdO, (2) NiO, (3) CuO and SeO in total doses from 4.5 to 72 mg/kg body weight. Each experiment had its own control group. NPs were synthesized by laser ablation from pure metal plates. The assessment of hepatotoxicity in rats was carried out after the end of the experimental period according to the following indicators: liver mass, biochemical parameters of blood, cytological composition of liver cells and morphometric parameters in it.
Results. Of the NPs studied, NiO NPs and CdO NPs had the most pronounced hepatotoxic effect. At the same time, essential elements (such as selenium and copper) in the form of oxide nanoparticles at the studied doses had a hepatotoxic effect.
Discussion. Negative changes were observed following repeated intraperitoneal injections of different element oxide nanoparticles in all experimental animals, the most pronounced being related to exposures to CdO and NiO NPs. Alterations of biochemical parameters did not always correlate with structural damages revealed by histology and imprint cytology.
Limitations. The study is limited to examining toxic liver injury in only one animal species and sex.
Conclusion. The severity of the hepatotoxic effect of the studied nanoparticles (PbO, CdO, NiO, CuO, SeO) in a subchronic toxicological experiment on animals depends on their chemical nature.

Published: February 2025

Introduction. The lack of information about the health safety of firefighters and those taking part in extinguishing landscape fires from short-term exposure to sublethal concentrations of carbon monoxide determines the relevance of this work.
Material and methods. The study on rats used methods for assessing the state of the central nervous system, including behavioral tests, electroencephalography, morphology of the cerebral cortex, cardiac tissue, testes and liver. Chemical research methods included the determination of the content of CO and PM2.5 in the air of the exposure chamber. Genotoxicity on blood cells was determined by the DNA comet method.
Results. The experiment showed that exposure to peat smoke with a level of CO=99±2.5 mg/m3 and PM2.5=0.72±0.3 mg/m3 for 30 minutes had no pronounced adverse effect on male rats. The results of studying the motor research behavior of animals, EEG parameters, the structure of cardiomyocytes, epicardium, myocardium and pericardium did not differ from those in control rats. In the tissue of the sensorimotor cortex of the rats of the experimental group, an increase in the number of acts of neuronophagy was revealed, and in the liver tissue – a decrease in the number of polynuclear hepatocytes. In animals exposed to peat smoke, a decrease in the spermatogenesis index was revealed, which demonstrates a violation of the formation of germ cells of the final stages of spermatogenesis. No genotoxic effect was detected. Collectively, the identified changes may indicate a compensatory reaction of the rat body when ingested with toxicants.
Conclusion. The toxicity of a multicomponent mixture of forest biomass combustion products with short-term exposure, containing a CO concentration of 100 mg/m3, may be underestimated when predicting long-term effects on the reproductive potential of the adult population.
Limitation. It is caused by a number of uncertainties related to insufficient information about the short-term effects of high concentrations of CO and solid particles PM2.5 in the smoke of landscape fires on the nervous, reproductive, genome/epigenome system of male rats.

Published: February 2025

Introduction. The presence of prohibited compounds undeclared by the manufacturer in specialized food products (dietary supplements and sports nutrition products) is a violation of TR CU 021. However, the variety of chemical classes of prohibited compounds, their high biological activity and low effective concentrations determine the need for the use of highly sensitive chromatomass spectrometric methods for their detection. The aim of the work was to improve methodological approaches to identification during HPLC-MS/MS analysis of food products for the content of prohibited substances.
Material and methods. The study were carried out by HPLC with tandem mass-selective detection with ionization in electrospray in the target screening mode. Samples of dietary supplements and sports nutrition products were used as objects.
Results. The probable sources of false positive results of the analysis are considered and classified, examples from real practice are given. It is indicated that the main reasons for the appearance of false positive results may be: close values of the m/z precursor ions of the compounds being determined (the difference is less than 1 unit m/z); similarity of the structure of the compounds under study; the compound under study does not form a molecular precursor ion; matrix effects; cross-contamination.
Limitations. 5 main sources of identification errors associated with incorrect interpretation of mass spectra are analyzed.
Conclusion. The solution of the problems of reliable identification of prohibited compounds in dietary supplements is possible through the continuous development and improvement of screening methodology, the development of new methodological approaches, evaluation of their advantages and possible limitations.

Published: February 2025

Employee motivation is a critical determinant of organizational success, particularly in educational institutions where staff productivity is directly linked to institutional performance. This study examines the factors influencing employee motivation among technical university staff, emphasizing both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. The research focuses on key elements such as remuneration, leadership practices, opportunities for professional growth, and the work environment. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires distributed to academic and administrative staff, followed by analysis using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings reveal that while extrinsic rewards like remuneration and career development opportunities play significant roles, intrinsic factors such as the organizational climate and leadership practices are more impactful in fostering motivation. Regression analysis identifies the work environment as the strongest predictor of employee motivation, followed by leadership style, professional growth, and remuneration. Furthermore, the study highlights barriers such as unfavorable work conditions, inadequate remuneration, limited career advancement opportunities, and ineffective leadership practices, which undermine motivation levels. These results align with established motivational theories, including Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, affirming the importance of balancing hygiene factors and intrinsic motivators to enhance employee engagement. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for technical universities to address motivational barriers, fostering a more engaged and productive workforce and improving institutional outcomes.

Authors: Walioli Ruth Wangu
Published: February 2025

Language and speech development lay the foundation for a child’s academic, emotional and social success. The goal of this research was to understand the Effect of Language and Speech Impairments among Early Learners in Kenya. It utilized desktop review approach whereby secondary sources of data namely government reports, academic papers as well as publications by relevant stakeholders were scrutinized for relevant empirical data informing the research question. The research yielded qualitative data which were analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that language is foundational in the learning process, and that the period before 8 years is formative and is a developmental timing associated with critical periods when speech and language develop rapidly. Effects experienced by children with SLI include learning and behavioral difficulties associated with reading during early childhood and later school years and that the impairments are more common among children from economically challenged households. Findings also revealed the need for capacity building of stakeholders working with children on early identification, assessment, intervention and referral system. Kenya has enacted legislations and policies to support children with language and speech difficulties. The research recommended creation of awareness on identification, assessment, intervention and referral process for early learners with language and speech difficulties. Assessment and intervention plans should preferably be made by multidisciplinary teams. The enacted legislations and policies need to be operationalized in order to benefit children with SLI.

Introduction: Hypokalemic paralysis secondary to Conn’s syndrome is rare. The most common presentation of this condition is hypertension, which may be asymptomatic or range from mild to severe to refractory. Case Report: A 34-year-old hypertensive female presented with acute onset of lower limb weakness. She reported two similar episodes in the past. She had profound hypokalemia and further evaluation revealed high aldosterone and low renin levels, suggesting an adrenal adenoma. She was managed with antihypertensives and spironolactone. After CT confirmation of a right adrenal adenoma, she underwent surgery. She showed significant improvement in both her symptoms and laboratory parameters after surgery, and is doing well on her follow-up. Conclusion: This case illustrates that a high index of suspicion leads to early recognition and timely management of an unusual and potentially severe clinical manifestation of primary hyperaldosteronism in the form of hypokalemic periodic paralysis, especially in the setting of unexplained hypertension.
Improving CSR Transparency Through Blockchain
Authors: Ojog Silviu , Miron Alina-Andrea
Published: February 2025

The Blockchain could potentially transform the way CSR reporting is conducted. Initially, Bitcoin brought blockchain into public opinion for peer-to-peer immutable decentralized financial transactions. The second generation of blockchains, Ethereum, has introduced the concept of smart contracts, immutable pieces of code saved on the blockchain. Smart contracts elevate transactions into trust-minimizing agreements, thus disrupting existing markets and organizations. A CSR report outlines a company’s environmental, social, and ethical efforts, highlighting its impact on society. It informs stakeholders about the company’s commitment to sustainability. However, challenges like transparency, data manipulation, and inconsistent standards persist in traditional CSR reporting. Many reporting needs, such as trust between multiple parties, transparency, progress monitoring, autonomy and automation, seem to be covered by the blockchain value proposition: a distributed, immutable, publicly accessible ledger. Regardless of its potential, blockchain has lacked massive adoption due to its still very technical, security-oriented nature. This paper includes an in-depth review of academic literature to outline the current understanding of CSR reporting and blockchain technology. It proposes a theoretical framework for implementing blockchain in website CSR reporting.

Authors: Maniam Pushpavalli , Zolkepli² Izzal Asnira , Thurasamy3 Ramayah
Published: February 2025

Individuals forge and nurture relationships through social media platforms, engaging actively with content and connections in the digital landscape. Understanding user behaviour on these platforms is pivotal for organisations, facilitating consumer bonding and potentially enhancing brand advocacy. Leveraging social media, businesses in Malaysia bolster online visibility, broaden audience reach, and foster engagement, thereby strengthening relationships and promoting brand advocacy. With Malaysian users predominantly engaging with businesses on Facebook, this examines how relationship marketing influences brand advocacy within this context. Amidst limited research on relationship marketing and brand advocacy, this study scrutinises the relationship among Malaysian Facebook users. Data from 159 users interacting with various brand pages on Facebook were analysed using the partial least square method of structural equation modelling (SEM-PLS). The analysis revealed that commitment and consumer engagement significantly influence brand advocacy. This study illuminates the pivotal role of establishing and nurturing connections on social media to amplify brand advocacy. In conclusion, it delves into the dynamics of consumer-brand relationships among Malaysian Facebook users, advocating for future comparative studies across diverse social media platforms and recommending the utilisation of PLS-MGA analysis in forthcoming research endeavours.

Authors: Ahmad Jamilah
Published: February 2025

This study uses Schwartz’s Value Theory as a conceptual framework to examine the impact of Altruistic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the employability prospects of final-year university students in Malaysia. Through a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys of 400 final-year students from various disciplines across public and private universities, alongside Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), the research investigates the importance placed on altruistic CSR elements such as employee welfare, ethical business practices, environmental stewardship, and community engagement in shaping graduates’ employment preferences. The findings reveal that Malaysian students prioritise these altruistic CSR attributes, which align closely with Schwartz’s values of universalism and benevolence. The study offers actionable recommendations for Malaysian organisations to enhance their CSR strategies to meet the expectations of the future workforce. These insights also contribute to the broader objectives of Malaysia’s Social Development Goals (SDGs), emphasising the role of CSR in sustainable development and talent acquisition.

Published: February 2025

The present study refers to a new type of bullying between peers, cyberbullying, which consists of using (ICT), mainly mobile phones, computers and tablets to intentionally and repeatedly cause harm over time. We live in a society in which globalization has driven extensive use of new technologies, allowing the rapid dissemination of information, thereby causing more harassing behavior to take place online. The present research aims to analyze this phenomenon in a sample of 1820 young people between 12 and 16 years old (1 to 4 ESO) from the Foral Community of Navarra (Pamplona) and the CC. AA of Andalucia (province of Córdoba and municipality of Lucena). For this, both approaches will be used; qualitative and quantitative. The most significant results indicate that approximately 10-11% of the participating students acknowledge having been victims of cyberbullying, while 3-4% admit to having exercised this type of behavior. This implies that between 150-160 students have experienced bullying behavior and 60-70 have participated in it.
