Aim: This study was conducted to provide data on weed species composition and biodiversity indexes at different rice crops inside and outside of the dike system in An Giang province, Vietnam. Methodology: Weeds were collected from paddy rice of inner and outer side of dike system from six districts of An Giang province, Vietnam. From each sampling sites, two quadrats with 100 m2 (10 m × 10 m) per quadrat were selected to collect weed after 75-80 days of rice planting. Weeds were collected and identified for their scientific name, and the number of each species was defined, followed by calculation of the occurrence frequency and density of samples. Biodiversity indices viz. Shannon-Weaver (H’), Simpson (1- λ), Margalef (d), and similarity index were also studied among three crops and two sides of dike system. Results: The weed composition in the paddy rice in An Giang was diversity with 137 species. Among them, the most species belonged to families Poaceae, Cyperaceae, and Compositae. The species composition of Crop 3 was the highest one. Species occurrence frequency and weed density of groups C, D, E reached the highest value in Crop 1, followed by Crop 2 and 3. The biodiversity indices of weed species composition in the studied sites were high, reaching the highest value in Crop 3. Interpretation: The results of this study enhance the knowledge of weed species composition and biodiversity indexes to effectively manage and control weeds in rice cultivation.

Published: May 2021

The upper stretch of the Pek River is located in proximity to one of the largest mining sites in Serbia. To estimate the influence of copper mining on river biota, the quantitative and qualitative macroinvertebrate community structure was analyzed, and the ecological status of the river was assessed using standard biological indices. Data was gathered at 6 sites along the river. A total of 75 macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded. The reference site had the highest number of recorded taxa (48) and a high biodiversity (diversity index H=2.3). In contrast, the lowest number of taxa (8), a low diversity index value (H=1.15), and a very poor overall ecological status were recorded at site 2, which is heavily influenced by mining discharge. The Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera group (EPT) constituted 46.30% of the community at site 1 but was completely absent at site 2 where Diptera (70%) and Oligochaeta (20%) were dominant, reflecting a strong impact of the mining industry on the upper river stretch. A gradual improvement of water quality downstream of the pollution sources indicates that this medium-sized river has the capacity to overcome intensive pollution and to revitalize itself along its course.

NEWS PHOTOGRAPHY IN MODERN PHOTOJOURNALISM: TYPES AND FEATURES
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Maksymovych Myroslav
Published: May 2021

The article is about the fact that in modern mass-media photos more and more often become not only a visual background to informative, analytical or journalistic text, but as headlines attract attention of audience. Such kind of approach increases quality requirements of illustrative material in modern periodicals because popularity of texts which are published in newspapers and magazines depends on that. Some separate photos might become a kind of visual factage which does not need any verbal explanation. A lot of attention is paid to the role, purpose and features of photos for news as a genre of modern photojournalism. A short review of sources of research issues is made in the article. The author has considered the main definitions and features of news photography as one of the main informative genres of modern pictural journalism. It is accented on the fact that modern photojournalists have to orientate not only in genres of photojournalism but also to be able to use them in everyday practice. Here you can find views of photojournalism theorists on the condition of news photography. In the article are given recommendations of photojournalists practitioners and workers of information agencies on the main requirements of producing photos in this genre. In the article process of producing news photos and their use in modern periodical publications are considered. The author emphasizes on the quality of such pictures and their place in visual accompaniment of informative text. In the summary are given recommendations on preparation of photojournalists who are going to work in the genre of news photography.
THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION PROBLEMS OF ORBITAL MASS MEDIA
Authors:   Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University, Finkler Juryj
Published: May 2021

Modern media not only (such as radio, newspapers, television or online journalism), but also the full range of media (e.g. theater, music, exhibitions, cinema, drama, opera, visual arts etc.) promote narrative – interpretive both the journalist and the audience the contexts of the realities referred to in the journalistic presentation. But with the introduction of holistic systems of ideologically united mass media, the narrative is no longer characterized by the temporality or length of interpretations. Contexts and narratives of mass media content no longer mask under assumptions or hypotheses a specific ideological, party, worldview position, which is far from thinking about the cognition of life, journalism, the work of a journalist. The once dualistic use of the context of the interpretive environment has turned into a non-constructivist model of pressure on the audience not through plots, but from fundamental ideological and ideological, and often direct, party proposals. It is proposed to consider the context as a basis for interaction and different media, which are not only united by common ideological narratives, but which have a certain center around which all the content is not loaded on the target audience. We have the effect of orbital mass media – within their content proposals there is an interaction of authors and audiences in order to distribute such content, which in the framework of informing about something or someone not so much improves media and audience interaction as an element of severe content pressure on the audience. Those journalistic broadcasts that are broadcast by these groups of media.
FAN FICTION AS ALTERNATIVE MEDIA: MODERN COMMUNICATIVE PRACTICES
Authors:   Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, Hudoshnyk Oksana , Iarovkina Valeriia ,   Oles Honchar Dnipro National University
Published: May 2021

The modern directions of development of fan fiction as a media system that has acquired the characteristics of self-organization are actualized. Three stages of development of scientific views on the formation of the process of collective authorship are presented: from narrative criticism and isolation of media features of fandoms to comprehension of the facts of the reverse influence of fan fiction on culture and communication processes. On the example of the development of modern fan fiction space, the phenomena that express the communicative nature of the fan fiction community, as well as the network nature of its organization are proposed for analysis: creation of podcast systems; according to the logic of canonical blockbuster universes, the development of complex multi-story stories with the involvement of a large number of participants. The paradoxical phenomena that arise in this media system - the growth of original works not related to rethinking and implementing alternative lines of the canon, the emergence of the phenomenon of the passive spectator - are explained by the influence of general cultural trends and local national practices. Indirectly, the influence of fan-fiction activity is presented in various manifestations and trends: the phenomena of secondary and tertiary communication, the transformation of the fan into canonical texts for further fiction, the active departure of fans outside closed communities and the impact on modern cultural practices. Examples of the latter are illustrated by the use of fan fiction in writing scripts for series; creation of spin-products; taking into account fan thoughts when developing the plots of TV series and books. The prospects of communication research are motivated by the dynamics of growth of the object of study and the complexity of modern methods of analysis. The presence of contradictory tendencies and manifestations problematizes the finality and immutability of already established scientific approaches, forces to turn to technical approaches using big-date methods.

I Choose for Myself, Therefore I Am
Authors: Dold Malte , Stanton Alexa
Published: May 2021

Behavioral economics and existentialism both present informative perspectives on human choice. We argue in this article that the dialogue between the two approaches can enrich the current debate about the normative implications of behavioral economics. While behavioral economics suggests that our capacity to choose is constrained by cognitive biases and environmental influences, existentialism emphasizes that we can (and should) treat ourselves as free and ‘becoming’ beings in spite of the many constraints we face. Acknowledging these two perspectives in the form of a theoretical synthesis—which we propose to call existentialist behavioral economics—provides us with reasons why we should protect our choices ‘as our own’ and how doing so may be more difficult than we anticipate. It also provides a framework to analyze the threat of identity-shaping social and technological developments, such as preference-altering nudges and artificially intelligent prediction algorithms.

Authors: Olanrewaju Saliu Mojeed , Funlayo Akeju Kemi
Published: May 2021

This study verifies the validation of Wagner’s theory and Keynes's hypothesis between three main government expenditure components (Health expenditure, education expenditure, and capital investment expenditure) and economic growth in Nigeria and Angola. The study employs Johansen cointegration and pairwise granger causality as the estimation techniques. Findings revealed no evidence of long-run relationships with government expenditure components of health, education, and capital investment and economic growth. The study equally reveals the validation of Wagner’s theory between growth and expenditure on health in both Nigeria and Angola. Evidence that confirms both Wagner’s theory and Keynes's hypothesis between growth and expenditure on education in Angola and validation of only Keynes hypothesis in Nigeria was found. Also, the study confirms the validation of Keynes's hypothesis between government expenditure on capital investment in both Nigeria and Angola

La República Argentina tiene una extensa historia en la Antártida, que comienza en el Gobierno de las Provincias Unidas del Río de La Plata, continúa en 1904 con la creación de la primera base científica del mundo, la Base Orcadas, y se prolonga a la actualidad con la existencia de más de una docena de bases en el territorio antártico. En el siglo XXI la actividad científica y su apoyo logístico serán centrales para enfrentar los desafíos que se presentan. Las nuevas estrategias de los principales actores que participan del Sistema del Tratado Antártico hacen prever una profunda transformación conceptual, política, cultural y operativa de la problemática antártica. En este artículo se analizan, entre otras cuestiones, los desafíos que se presentan en la Argentina. Se discute cómo las ventajas comparativas del Programa Antártico Argentino para enfrentar estos desafíos no alcanzan para sostener el nivel de presencia territorial adecuada en la Antártida y se proponen una serie de medidas para fortalecer esta presencia de manera integral.
“Twice Crowned” (Leonid Yuzefovich – Laureate of the Big Book)
Authors:   Russian State Library, Babicheva Maya
Published: May 2021

The article discusses the two-aspect nature of the contribution of L.A. Yuzefovich into Russian culture, as a reflection of the specifics of his gift. The criterion for the writer’s achievements was chosen to be a double leader in the national literary prize «Big Book» (a unique case in its history). The purpose of the article is to show the genre specificity of the individual style of Yuzefovich, which doubled the significance of his works for Russian literature and culture in general. The well-known Bulgakovʼs metaphor is applicable to the work of this writer completely. In this case, the right and left hand of the pianist can be considered fiction and documentary proze. A writer’s achievements in each of these areas greatly contribute to his success in the other. The leading place in the work of Yuzefovich the fiction writer is occupied by a large epic form. His novels with criminal plot, as a rule, have a pronounced detective line. The action takes place in different eras in different locations. These are Moscow and Western Europe of the 17th century, imperial Petersburg of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, Perm in the 1920s., etc. Specific historical details are reproduced in detail, the atmosphere of the era is recreated. Critics have repeatedly noted the writer’s ability to convey the spirit of the times in artistic form. The documentary prose of this author is a continuation of his scientific career (he is PhD in historical sciences). The beginning of this direction in his work was laid by the artistically revised dissertation research of the scientist. Subsequently, the main interest of Yuzefovich as the author of documentary proze focused on the events of the Civil War in Siberia and the Far East. The writer’s historical books have a fascinating plot and are written in good literary language. The best (to date) works of Yuzefovich of each of the named directions were awarded the Big Book Prize (the 1st place), awarded for a significant contribution to Russian culture and increasing the social significance of Russian literature. These are the novel «Cranes and the Dwarfs» (prize 2009) and the documentary novel «Winter Road» (prize 2015). Both works reveal important stages in Russian history and, at the same time, deserve high praise for their artistic form.
Perception of family and close relationships in the post-Soviet space: factors and directions of transformation
Authors: Smirnov V. A. , Gruzdev V. V. , Yershov V. N.
Published: May 2021

The article deals with the peculiarities of transformation of ideas and social attitudes of residents of post-Soviet countries concerning family life and close relationships. The article is based on the analysis of the results of the third and sixth waves of the international longitudinal study — World Values Survey. The authors substantiate the conclusion that traditional value orientations are widely spread in post-Soviet countries as an adaptation strategy of the state and society in response to big challenges. At the same time, the article concludes about ambivalence and asymmetry of transformations in the sphere of close relationships. There are four models of such relations in post-Soviet countries. According to the authors, state policy plays a special role in the transformation of close relations. It is pro-tanalistic in nature, does not take into account the peculiarities of different forms and types of relationships and is mainly focused on increasing childbearing. This undoubtedly reduces its potential as a mechanism for adapting the state to the situation of demographic transition.
Inclusion in urban environmental governance of small and intermediary cities of the global South
Authors: Adelina Charrlotte , Archer Diane , Johnson Oliver , Otieno Opiyo Romanus
Published: May 2021

Urban sustainability is governed beyond the urban scale through trans-local networks and assemblages of actors and institutions. There is an emerging field of interest that aims to understand the outcomes of urban sustainability interventions, both from the environmental and social equity perspectives. This paper contributes to the literature on governing urban environmental sustainability transitions, with a distinct focus on small and intermediary cities of the global South. Actors in cities of the global South are adopting a variety of ways towards achieving urban sustainability transitions in the realm of disaster risk reduction, adaptation building, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and natural resource management. Our paper employs an analytical framework derived from Bai et. al. (2010) to chart the actors, drivers, finances, barriers, and the inclusivity and sustainability outcomes in seven interventions led by different actors. Five of the cases are drawn extensively from literature, while two case studies reflect on our primary engagement in the cities of Nakuru in Kenya and Udon Thani in Thailand. We find that the actors leading and financing the projects and the drivers of the intervention can explain differential outcomes in the inclusion processes and the framing of environmental solutions. We then delineate the opportunities and barriers to achieve multi-level governance approaches that are relevant to planning transformations in the South.
Generative pedagogies from and for the social production of habitat
Authors: Weesley Julia , Allen Adriana , Zárate Lorena , Silvia Emanuelli María
Published: May 2021

Re-thinking dominant epistemological assumptions of the urban in the global South implies recognising the role of grassroots networks in challenging epistemic injustices through the co-production of multiple saberes and haceres for more just and inclusive cities. This paper examines the pedagogies of such networks by focusing on the experiences nurtured within Habitat International Coalition in Latin America (HIC-AL), identified as a ‘School of Grassroots Urbanism’ (Escuela de Urbanismo Popular). Although HIC-AL follows foremost activist rather than educational objectives, members of HIC-AL identify and value their practices as a ‘School’, whose diverse pedagogic logics and epistemological arguments are examined in this paper. The analysis builds upon a series of in-depth interviews, document reviews and participant observation with HIC-AL member organisations and allied grassroots networks. The discussion explores how the values and principles emanating from a long history of popular education and popular urbanism in the region are articulated through situated pedagogies of resistance and transformation, which in turn enable generative learning from and for the social production of habitat.

Fenomena Ajang Pencarian Bakat di Indonesia Ditinjau dari Perspektif Poskolonial
Authors: Setiawan Afrizal Yudha
Published: May 2021

AbstractThis article aims to examine the phenomenon of Indonesia's talent search arena using a postcolonial perspective. Various talent search programs in Indonesia are imported products, which can be interpreted as an effort to globalize Indonesia. This has indirectly changed the Indonesian people's mindset and culture, one of which is the taste of music, which prefers westernized songs. Postcolonial can be interpreted as a form of analysis unit that can be used to study the form of the new cultural colonial phenomenon, primarily carried out by the west towards nations in the developing (eastern) category of regions. The form of colonialism that occurred was no longer physical colonialism. However, colonization was carried out through language texts, culture, and the development of a negative image of the east by the west, hegemony as a form of power practice. The postcolonial approach in looking at the phenomenon of the talent search arena in Indonesia can provide an overview of how western culture enters Indonesia and hegemony through television media. This form of hegemony is represented in the talent search event, which is full of westernized nuances. The meaning of western culture can be conveyed to the audience and constructed within the audience.AbstrakArtikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji fenomena ajang pencarian bakat di Indonesia, dengan menggunakan perspektif poskolonial. Berbagai program ajang pencarian bakat di Indonesia merupakan produk import, yang dapat dimaknai sebagai upaya untuk mengglobalkan Indonesia. Hal tersebut secara tidak langsung telah mengubah pola pikir dan kebudayaan masyarakat Indonesia salah satunya seperti selera musik, yang lebih menyukai lagu bernuansa kebarat-baratan. Poskolonial dapat dimaknai sebagai sebentuk unit analisis yang dapat digunakan untuk mengkaji bentuk fenomena penjajahan kebudayaan model baru terutama yang dilakukan oleh Barat terhadap bangsa-bangsa yang ada di kategori wilayah yang sedang berkembang (timur). Bentuk penjajahan yang terjadi tidak lagi penjajahan secara fisik, namun penjajahan dilakukan melalui budaya, teks bahasa, dan pembangunan citra negatif tentang timur oleh barat, menghegemoni sebagai bentuk praktik kekuasaan. Pendekatan poskolonial dalam memandang fenomena ajang pencarian bakat di Indonesia dapat memberikan gambaran tentang bagaimana budaya barat masuk ke Indonesia dan menghegemoni melalui media televisi. Bentuk hegemoni tersebut direpresentasikan dalam acara ajang pencarian bakat yang sarat akan nuansa kebarat-baratan, sehingga makna kebudayaan barat tersebut dapat tersampaikan kepada audience dan terkonstruksi dalam diri audience.

The current military and political situation in the world raises the necessity of use by Russia of all existing tools to counter actions targeted against it. Participation of the country in international export control regimes, including the Wassenaar Arrangement (the WA), is one of these tools. Membership in the WA allows to Russia to maintain its international status, to contribute to strengthening of international stability, to ensure the non-targeting of this forum against the country, to participate in the development of decisions affecting its interests. Participation in the WA is also important from the view of modernizations of Russian economy towards transition to a new technological mode accompanied by emergence of new groups of innovative products and modification of existing ones. Control of crossing the country's borders by dual-use goods and services is one of conditions for carrying out their export. The Wassenaar Arrangement was established in 1995 to replace COCOM in order to contribute to regional and international security and stability. A huge work is carried out within the forum aimed at enhancing control over transfers of conventional weapons and high-tech dual-use goods. Russian export control system fully meets requirements of international export control regime, including the WA, and effectively functions. Export of the controlled goods from Russia or their transfer to foreign individuals and legal entities are possible only on the basis of decisions of the Export control Commission of the Russian Federation. The dilemma between the need to support exporters by reducing administrative barriers and the ensuring security interests of the country gain momentum in current stage of scientific-and-technological advance development.
RUSSIAN–JAPANESE TRADE AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS: IS THERE A NEW FULCRUM?
Authors: Streltsov D. V.
Published: May 2021

Against the background of political chilling between Russia and Japan trade and economic cooperation objectively form a basis for a positive development of bilateral relations in the foreseeable future. The structure of mutual trade has not changed significantly for a number of years. Russia plays the role as a pivotal supplier of certain raw materials for the Japanese market, namely energy resources, non-ferrous metals, seafood and timber. From Japan Russia imports mainly passenger cars and a certain amount of industrial equipment. With regard to investment relations between Russia and Japan, there exists a serious structural problem - the two economies are interdependent from the point of view of the technological division of labor. Russia, particularly its Eastern regions, not possessing sufficient infrastructure and logistics capabilities, as well as cheap labor resources, does not have any competitive advantages for Japanese investment compared to other countries like China. The potential of Russia is mostly viewed in Japan just as an energy donor. Thus the largest prospects of investment cooperation lie in the energy sphere. One can talk of the possibility for raising Russia's share in the Japanese oil and LNG markets. This perspective is supported by the instability of the political situation in the Middle East, which is Japan's main partner for energy supplies. In this connection, large-scale investment projects in the energy field, like the construction of gas pipeline "Sakhalin - Japan" or a power bridge "Sakhalin - Hokkaido", retain their perceptiveness. However, given the political, juridical, organizational, technical and other problems, these projects are difficult for implementation at the present stage. In this situation, the allocation of a certain share for Japan in the strategic energy deposits of Siberia and the Far East and the admission of Japanese capital to the exploration and development of these deposits seem to be a realistic choice for Russian strategic planning towards Japan, as such a cooperation would not be a subject of Western sanctions against Russia. For Russia it is important to build with Japan relationship on a more long-term and lasting basis. One of the possible ways here is to conclude a bilateral economic partnership agreement.

A famous Islamic philosopher Fethullah Gulen backed up the nowadays president Erdogan in the beginning of creation of his Justice & Development Party (AKP). Gulen though backed up Erdogan criticized some of his actions. He was against the "Freedom Flotilla" that was sent be Erdogan to raise the blockade of Gaza sector. He visited the Roma Pope while defending the idea of the "Dialog of civilizations" and was sharply criticized for this visit by the Islamists. In 2013 he criticized Erdogan for the police attacks against mass demonstrations of protest in Istanbul. Besides he sharply criticized corruption of the AKP officials. Erdogan was irritated by this criticism. In spite of many common ideas of contemporary «moderated Moslems» - the supporters of Erdogan and followers of Gulen severe inter-political struggle among them lead to massive attacks against gulenist's "Hizmet" Movement and Nurcilar (Nur movement - the followers of anti-secular cleric Said Nursi). In respond "Hizmet" started a broad campaign against corruption and nepotism among the Erdogan's supporters. The latter charged gulenists in conspiracy activities against the ruling party and "betrayal of Turkey". They closed gulenist's educational schools and started the cleansing campaign against "Hizmet" in the state structures. This struggle may influence on the ideologic basement and the future of Turkey.

DEFENSE COOPERATION IN EUROPE: SUBREGIONAL LEVEL
Authors: Nadtochey Y. I.
Published: May 2021

The evolution of subregional cooperation among European nations in security and defense area is the topic of the article. It describes sub-regionalism as a phenomenon and explains the reasons why small states of Europe are eager to cooperate in defense area after the end of the Cold War. Such cooperation is analyzed within the broader context of European integration - a trend which still has a great impact on sub-regional cooperation in certain parts of a common EU and NATO space. According to the article former socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe as well as some European neutral states viewed sub-regional groupings as means of security enhancement in a period of transition - a time when these countries were getting ready for fully-fledged integration into European or Euro-Atlantic organizations. Nevertheless, subregional groupings have become even more relevant while EU and NATO enlargements were slowing down. So called threat perception gap among individual members of the EU and NATO contributed to forming of small subregional groupings based on members' security common vision and their aspiration to reach common goals. These groupings estimated as marginal by pan -European organizations, are extremely important for the grouped countries themselves. For European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance it is not easy to govern these subregional trends of multinational cooperation and synchronize them with European and Euro-Atlantic integration as such.
"SOFT POWER": THE DARK SIDE (ON THE CASE OF GERMANY)
Authors: Lebedeva M. M. , Rustamova L. R. , Sharko M. V.
Published: May 2021

Despite of the fact that numerous researches on the concept of soft power were conducted by Russian as well as by foreign scholars, negative aspects of soft power, especially concerning actors that implement it, were almost disregarded. This article focuses on possible adverse consequences for such actors and illustrates them with the example of Germany that intensively forms its attractive image in the international arena. The authors affirm in particular that actors should form their comprehensive positive image rather than attractiveness of distinct spheres and features. They should also consider side-effects of soft power and harmonize NGO's activities in implementation of this policy. The latter is becoming more relevant against the background of broader application of soft power through public diplomacy with the help of non-governmental organizations. In addition, the article emphasizes the necessity of further theoretical and empirical researches on the issue.
