UNSTRUCTURED

Expert insight on nutrition and healthy aging along with concise takeaways for practitioners were developed from the 8th Annual Virtual Conference of the Healthy Aging Dietetic Practice Group. With six distinguished professionals presenting on an array of topics, the conference highlighted both emerging trends and advances in established practices in the field. The first topic explored the safe implementation of a low-carbohydrate diet, elucidating its effects on metabolic health and discussed both the best uses and contraindications. The second lecture focused on continuous glucose monitoring in older adults with diabetes, emphasizing the role of technology in improving glycemic control and patient outcomes. In the third expert lecture, the discussion surrounded the adaptation of the Diabetes Prevention Program (a landmark lifestyle intervention) for older adults, underscoring the need for tailored, age-specific strategies and tactics. The fourth lecture addressed the importance of providing culturally appropriate patient care in dietetics, highlighting the nuances of dietary habits across diverse cultures and cuisines. In the fifth presentation, the speaker deconstructed the concept of “anti-aging” or longevity diets, separating fact from fiction and providing evidence-based insights into emerging nutritional therapies to extend lifespan, including counter-intuitive dietary approaches like protein restriction and calorie restriction. Lastly, the conference was wrapped up with a discussion on the aging brain, highlighting the relationship between nutrient-rich diets and cognitive function in older adults, including key micronutrient needs and the impact of multivitamin supplementation. Overall, the conference served as a platform for knowledge exchange and emphasized the pivotal role of dietetics in promoting healthy aging and longevity.
Requirement Analysis of Different Variants of a Measurement and Training Station for Older Adults at Risk of Malnutrition and Reduced Mobility: Focus Group Study (Preprint)
Authors: Happe Lisa , Sgraja Marie , Quinten Vincent , Förster Mareike , Diekmann Rebecca
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

Demographic change is leading to an increasing proportion of older people in the German population and requires new approaches for prevention and rehabilitation to promote the independence and health of older people. Technical assistance systems can offer a promising solution for the early detection of nutritional and physical deficits and the initiation of appropriate interventions. Such a system should combine different components, such as devices for assessing physical and nutritional status, educational elements on these topics, and training and feedback options. The concept is that the whole system can be used independently by older adults (aged ≥70 years) for monitoring and early detection of problems in nutrition or physical function, as well as providing opportunities for intervention.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to develop technical and digital elements for a measurement and training station (MuTs) with an associated app. Through focus group discussions, target group requirements, barriers, and favorable components for such a system were identified.

METHODS

Older adults (aged ≥70 years) were recruited from a community-based setting as well as from a geriatric rehabilitation center. Focus group interviews were conducted between August and November 2022. Following a semistructured interview guideline, attitudes, requirements, preferences, and barriers for the MuTs were discussed. Discussions were stimulated by videos, demonstrations of measuring devices, and participants’ ratings of the content presented using rankings. After conducting 1 focus group in the rehabilitation center and 2 in the community, the interview guide was refined, making a more detailed discussion of identified elements and aspects possible. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using content analysis.

RESULTS

A total of 21 older adults (female participants: n=11, 52%; mean age 78.5, SD 4.6 years) participated in 5 focus group discussions. There was a strong interest in the independent measurement of health parameters, such as pulse and hand grip strength, especially among people with health problems who would welcome feedback on their health development. Participants emphasized the importance of personal guidance and interaction before using the device, as well as the need for feedback mechanisms and personalized training for everyday use. Balance and coordination were mentioned as preferred training areas in a MuTs. New training options that motivate and invite people to participate could increase willingness to use the MuTs.

CONCLUSIONS

The target group is generally open and interested in tracking and optimizing diet and physical activity. A general willingness to use a MuTs independently was identified, as well as a compelling need for guidance and feedback on measurement and training to be part of the station.

Authors: Grieve Natalie , Braaten Kyra , MacPherson Megan , Liu Sam , Jung Mary E.
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

Background: Technology is more likely to be used when it is designed to meet the needs of end-users. To supplement the [PROGRAM] diabetes prevention program, a smartphone application was developed in partnership with past [PROGRAM] clientele.

OBJECTIVE

A focus group with seven participants was conducted to examine the application’s usability and collect feedback for future iterations.

METHODS

Past [PROGRAM] clientele participated in a cognitive walkthrough (CW) of eight novel tasks and completed the System Usability Scale (SUS) survey. Participants were then given the option to use the application for three weeks before completing the user Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS).

RESULTS

Analysis of the CW identified 26 usability problems; each were coded using a heuristic evaluation to describe usability errors. The most frequently coded errors included inappropriate progress feedback, information appearing in an illogical order, counterintuitive design, and issues with application aesthetics. A mean summary score of 66.8% was reported for the SUS, representing a marginal acceptability score and indicating that design issues needed to be resolved. A uMARS mean score of 3.59±0.33 was reported, implying an average acceptability rating.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings identified necessary improvements in the application, ranging from minor aesthetic problems to major functionality problems. Involving end-users allows the application to be tailored to the client’s preferences and increases the likelihood of usage. This application aligns with [PROGRAM]’s program components and behavior change techniques which can improve health outcomes for future clients and allow them to self-monitor their exercise, diet, and goals.

This paper also attempts to have an insight into the moral and ethical problems in modern families, or the problems between contemporary people, trying to analyze the main characters’ self-developments of morality and the author’s ethical values from the discussion of the main characters’ ethical choices, the construction of ethical identities and the human and human relationship in this novel.
Research on the Principles of Translation and Dubbing of Translated Films under the Threshold of Intercultural Perspective
Authors: Zhang Ruien
Published: April 2024

Amidst the deepening tide of globalization, cultural exchange emerges as a pivotal conduit knitting together disparate nations and peoples. The art of dubbing, serving as a significant modality of cultural dissemination, finds its role in intercultural communication increasingly conspicuous. Dubbing transcends mere linguistic conversion; it engenders the transmission and reshaping of cultures, constituting a process of cultural creation in its own right. Consequently, the exploration of intercultural principles in dubbing assumes paramount significance in fostering global cultural exchange. Against the backdrop of globalization, the dubbing of films faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities. On one hand, audiences from diverse cultural backgrounds exhibit varying degrees of comprehension and acceptance towards works, necessitating dubbing to not only ensure linguistic accuracy but also embrace cultural adaptability and innovation. On the other hand, with technological advancements and the application of innovative strategies, the methods and means of dubbing are in constant evolution, offering myriad possibilities for cross-cultural dissemination.
GENETIC VARIABILITY OF ROSELLE (HIBISCUS SABDARIFFA L.) GENOTYPES
Authors: M Z ULLAH
Published: April 2024

Roselle is more than an eye-catching crop and has been used in a number of dishes, beverages, and conventional remedies for diseases for centuries. It is a source of antioxidants and anthocyanin, which acts as a free radical scavenger and inhibits lipid peroxidation. Five Roselle genotypes were evaluated in the Kharif 2 season in 2021 to assess genetic variability, association of traits, and path differentiation of different characters. A field experiment was conducted at the BIRTAN regional station farm in Noakhali, Bangladesh, in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data were collected on twelve plant attributes. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the five genotypes for most of the characters studied except petiole length (cm) and fruit diameter (cm). The phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than the corresponding genotypic coefficient of variation for all the studied traits. Phenotypic as well as genotypic coefficients of variability were high for the trait branches per plant (75.92% and 77.81%) and fruits per plant (69.33% and 77.01%), whereas they were medium for calyx per fruit and low for fruit diameter. High heritability estimates (>0.70) were recorded for plant height (cm), leaves per plant, branches per plant, fruit length (cm), calyx per fruit, fruit weight (g), and fruits per plant. On the other hand, the yield components showed medium heritability estimates (<0.70). Medium heritability coupled with a high expected genetic gain was observed for leaves per plant and fruit yield per plant. The highest genetic advance as a percent of men was also observed in branches per plant (152.59%). Fruit yield per plant was found to have a positive and highly significant correlation with branches per plant and fruits per plant, both at genotypic and phenotypic levels, whereas only at the genotypic level for leaf length and fruit diameter. Partitioning the correlation coefficients of various components direct effects on fruit yield into direct and indirect contributions revealed that fruits per plant have the maximum direct effect on fruit yield, followed by fruit weight and branches per plant at the genotypic level. High positive correlation coefficients for branches per plant were due to the indirect effects of fruits per plant. Hence, selection for the traits fruits per plant, branches per plant, and leaf length may be successful for fruit yield improvement in roselle. According to morphological traits and yield attributes the genotype RL 2 is the best among the studied genotypes.

Authors: Suseno Edy , DARMA IKIP WIDYA
Published: April 2024

Speaking is the most important part of communication. Many students in universities, junior high schools, and senior high schools have trouble conveying their ideas to others. Using YouTube to help students ease their ability to practice speaking is promising. Eleven articles showed that kind of notion. They were found on the Google Scholar website. Filtering them by the keyword “learning to speak through YouTube” and the year setting “since 2018” has determined that they are appropriate to be analyzed. All articles adapted method designs such as qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches differently. The analysis done by each article showed the effectiveness of using YouTube to enhance speaking ability. This kind of finding could be used by teachers to teach the related subject. It also triggers other researchers to do related studies.

Experiencias de desigualdad y malestares juveniles durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en México
Authors: Suárez Zozaya María Herlinda
Published: April 2024

"El objetivo de este capítulo es mostrar las desigualdades presentes en la vida de las personas jóvenes durante la pandemia causada por la enfermedad COVID-19 en México. La exposición se basa tanto en indicadores microeconómicos, en los que se expresan sus condiciones de vida, como en la subjetividad juvenil. Cabe advertir que no está dentro de los propósitos del texto comparar entre antes, durante, ni después de la pandemia, lo que se busca es ofrecer “escenas” que sirvan para comprender lo que significó “ser joven” durante la crisis sanitaria; estar y sentirse en riesgo en un país caracterizado por una enorme brecha entre los pocos que tienen mucho y los muchos que apenas tienen algo, y en donde la inseguridad, la exclusión y la violencia forman parte de la vida cotidiana. Poco antes de que llegara a México la enfermedad covid-19, el Consejo Nacional para Prevenir la Discriminación (Conapred) había reconocido que “las personas jóvenes enfrentan un problema de discriminación estructural perpetrada por el Estado, la sociedad y el sector privado” (Conapred, 2019). Por su parte, en agosto de ese mismo año, durante las celebraciones del Mes de las Juventudes, el director general del Imjuve afirmó: “la emergencia sanitaria por COVID-19 ha visibilizado y exponenciado las desigualdades existentes, situando al grupo poblacional de personas jóvenes en un panorama complicado” (Imjuve, 2020). En efecto, lo hizo.
Desigualdad de ingresos y participación salarial: efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19 a través del teletrabajo
Authors: Valdivia López Marcos , Borrayo López Rafael
Published: April 2024

El cometido central de este capítulo es analizar si la mayor demanda por teletrabajo impulsada por la pandemia de covid-19 modificó la estructura de desigualdad de ingresos de la población ocupada en México. Adicionalmente, el capítulo explora si los cambios observados también podrían impactar en la tendencia decreciente de la participación salarial en el ingreso total (ws),1 la cual ha caracterizado a la economía mexicana desde el inicio de la liberalización económica. En este capítulo se analiza la distribución de los ingresos de la población ocupada asociada a las condiciones de teletrabajo y no teletrabajo antes, durante y después de la pandemia, con base en la información de la Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo (enoe) del tercer trimestre de los años 2019, 2020 y 2021. La hipótesis central de este trabajo establece que la desigualdad de ingresos es mayor entre las ocupaciones más proclives al teletrabajo y que la pandemia provocó un incremento en la desigualdad en este segmento ocupacional. En cuanto a su estructura, en la segunda sección del capítulo se ofrece una revisión de la literatura que atiende principalmente los vínculos entre el ws y la desigualdad de ingresos. En la tercera sección se analiza el comportamiento estructural del ws en la economía mexicana durante 1990 y 2020, y se provee una estimación del ws segmentada entre ws asociados a situaciones de teletrabajo (wst) y a no teletrabajo (wsnt). En la sección cuarta se analiza cómo afectó la pandemia la distribución del ingreso laboral antes, durante y después de la irrupción de la COVID-19; en particular, se estima el efecto que tuvo el teletrabajo en los cambios distributivos de los ingresos de la población ocupada entre los diferentes segmentos ocupacionales. El capítulo cierra con una sección de reflexiones finales, donde se conjetura sobre las consecuencias que tuvo la pandemia — vía la mayor demanda de teletrabajo— en la desigualdad de ingresos y sus conexiones con el ws.
INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND MARKET STRUCTURE AS DRIVERS OF BANKING INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE
Authors: Muñoz Mendoza Jorge A. , Veloso Ramos Carmen L. , Delgado Fuentealba Carlos L.
Published: April 2024

We analyze the effects of market concentration, income diversification, and institutional environment on banking industry performance. We used a sample of 168 countries for the 1994-2019 period and the GMM estimators for dynamic panel data regressions. Our results show that market concentration and diversification have a positive effect on bank performance. The institutional environment, both public-political and private-regulatory, has a negative effect on bank profitability, showing that these financial institutions obtain higher returns in countries with institutional weaknesses. When countries have a high institutional quality, the positive impact of market concentration and income diversification is reversed. Strengthening countries’ institutional quality makes it possible to combine competition between banks and specialization in traditional activities with higher performance. These results are relevant for bank stability and financial policy design, given that the institutional framework includes both direct and indirect channels that affect the general behavior and strategies of banks in the industry.We analyze the effects of market concentration, income diversification, and institutional environment on banking industry performance.

REVISITING PURCHASING POWER PARITY IN EMERGING-7 COUNTRIES: A POWERFUL UNIT ROOT TEST
Authors: Yilanci Veli , Ursavaş Uğur , Mike Faruk
Published: April 2024

This paper introduces a newly developed unit root test procedure named the Fourier Quantile AESTAR (FAESTAR-QKS) test that allows nonlinearity and structural changes. The FAESTAR-QKS unit root test is mainly based on the quantile approach and provides more powerful results since it is robust toward non-normal errors. Then, we test the Purchasing Power Parity hypothesis (PPP) [or the mean-reverting properties of real exchange rates] in emerging seven (E7) countries (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, and Turkey) from 1995:1 to 2023:6 by using a novel FAESTAR-QKS test procedure. The results show that the FAESTAR-QKS unit root test provides more evidence on the validity of PPP than the traditional unit root test. Accordingly, the PPP hypothesis is valid in all E7 countries except for Turkey in the long run.

Authors: Reyes-Gómez Horacio , Martínez-González Enrique Genaro , Aguilar-Ávila Jorge , Aguilar-Gallegos Norman
Published: April 2024

El poder alcanzar sistemas agroalimentarios sostenibles (SAS) implica el trabajo conjunto de múltiples actores. Utilizando un enfoque analítico sistémico, se estudiaron los factores limitantes para la transición sostenible del sistema agroalimentario (SA) de la cadena de valor (CV) del aguacate mexicano. Se consultaron fuentes de datos internacionales, nacionales y gubernamentales; la información se complementó con tres casos de estudio. Las políticas de corto plazo, las estructuras de gobernanza actuales de la CV y del SA, insuficiente infraestructura para el aprovechamiento sostenible de recursos naturales e inseguridad, limitan alcanzar los SAS. Los indicadores económicos aceptables del sector deberían permitir mejoras en el aspecto social y ambiental, al adoptar sistemas de riego más eficientes y mejorar las condiciones laborales actuales.

Antidiabetic Potential of Herbal Plants
Authors: Kaushal Sahil
Published: April 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM), both insulin-dependent DM (IDDM) and non-insulin dependent DM (NIDDM) is a common and serious metabolic disorder throughout the world. Traditional plant treatments have been used throughout the world for the therapy of diabetes mellitus. Among many medications and polyherbal plants, several herbs have been known to cure and control diabetes; additionally they have no side effects. Diabetes mellitus is a dreadful disease found in all parts of the world and is becoming a serious threat to mankind health. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels thatresult from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both. Thus, plants are a potential source of anti-diabetic drugs which can be proved by the ethnobotanical information reports about 800 plants that may possess anti-diabetic potential. Although, synthetic oral hypoglycemic agents/insulin is the mainstream treatment of diabetes and effective in controlling hyperglycaemia, they have prominent side effects and fail to significantly alter the course of diabetic complications. This forms the main reason for an increasing number of people finding alternating therapies that may have less severe or no side effects. This article presents a review on some reported antidiabetic medicinal plants (with their botanical name, common name, constituent and mechanism of action for antidiabetic action) and plant based marketed polyherbal herbal formulations
UMA (AUTO)ETNOGRAFIA INTERSECTIONAL SOBRE O PRIVILÉGIO DA BRANQUITUDE NA ACADEMIA CONTÁBIL
Authors: Da Silva Caetano Dourado Janaína Rute , Pereira de Castro Casa Nova Silvia
Published: April 2024

Objetivo: Compreender, a partir de uma (auto)etnografia, as experiências, ausências, presenças e permanências, silenciamentos e vozes no ambiente acadêmico, pelo estudo de atravessamentos de raça, gênero e classe social, adotando uma perspectiva interseccional e refletindo sobre o privilégio da branquitude na academia contábil.
Método/abordagem: Com abordagem qualitativa, o estudo reflete o contexto do ambiente da educação contábil no Brasil. Considera os atravessamentos de raça, gênero e classe social da primeira autora, em uma interlocução com a segunda autora. A partir da teoria interseccional, os relatos são entrelaçados pela classe social, pois esse é o marcador social em comum entre a primeira autora e as demais pessoas que tiveram suas trajetórias representadas. Vale ressaltar que os relatos foram realizados partindo do ponto de vista da primeira autora.
Principais Resultados: Os principais achados estão relacionados com a compreensão de como atravessamentos e a reflexão sobre o privilégio da branquitude podem colaborar com a permanência e com o ecoar das vozes de pessoas negras no ambiente acadêmico em contabilidade.
Contribuições teóricas/práticas/sociais: Uma das contribuições é o registro de como o privilégio da branquitude possibilitou que a primeira autora desta (auto)etnografia ocupasse algumas posições que naturalmente pessoas negras teriam maior dificuldade para alcançar, quando conseguem. Assim, houve uma reflexão sobre como esse privilégio pode ser acionado para quebrar, talvez, o pacto narcísico da branquitude e contribuir para a possibilidade de permanência das pessoas negras no ambiente acadêmico.
Originalidade/relevância: A originalidade desta pesquisa está em questionar os privilégios da branquitude e em refletir como pessoas brancas, de grupos hegemônicos, podem colaborar para a permanência e para que mais vozes possam ecoar no ambiente acadêmico contábil. A relevância se relaciona ao fato de não encontrarmos estudos em contabilidade no Brasil que tratem da questão de classe social, questão-chave em um país que está entre os mais desiguais do mundo, alinhada com reflexões sobre a branquitude.

Activity of youth movements in Ukraine at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries
Authors: Naumov Aleksandr Olegovich
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the study is to analyze the evolution of the youth protest movement in Ukraine in the late 1990s - early 2000s. A comparative historical method and an interdisciplinary approach are applied. The author’s scientific contribution consists in the fact that for the first time in Russian historiography, such problems as the role of Ukrainian youth and students in the Revolution on granite and the “Ukraine without Kuchma” campaign are seriously studied, as well as the history of the creation of the youth organization “Pora”, which was destined to play one of the key roles in the Orange revolution in Ukraine at the end of 2004. The author comes to the conclusion that the genesis of the Ukrainian youth protest movement at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries is distinguished by a significant originality, and its result was the emergence of a phenomenon unique for the Ukrainian socio-political space - the organization “Pora”. It is emphasized that this structure was created on the theoretical and practical basis of previous anti-government campaigns, in which Ukrainian youth took a direct part. At the same time, it was guided by the experience of similar foreign movements that had previously successfully applied the methodology of nonviolent struggle against the ruling regimes developed in the West. Like its European associates, “Pora” has made a significant contribution to the victory of the Color revolution in its own state.
The Conservative Turn in Memory Policies of the the Republic of Korea
Authors: Kim Natalia Nikolaevna
Published: April 2024

The subject of the study is public disagreements on certain issues of Korean history. The study aims to determine the theoretical principles underlying the memory policies of the conservative government of Yun Seokyeol. On the example of the controversy over the transfer of the bust of the Korean independence movement fighter Hong Beomdo and the restoration of the legacy of Syngman Rhee, the author shows what arguments conservatives and progressives make to defend their position, what tools and techniques they use to establish a certain interpretation of history as the dominant one. The reason for the dispute about the legacy of the fighters for Korean independence, who belonged to the left wing of the national liberation movement, was the decision of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Korea to move the bust of Hong Beomdo, installed in front of the Military Academy, to another place. This decision caused protests from progressive political parties and public organizations, which accused the Yun Seokyeol’s government of an anti-communist approach and disdain for independence fighters. The dispute over Hong Beomdo’s bust also showed that there is no unity among conservatives on this issue. The government of Yun Seokyeol, largely, proceeds in its memory policies from the theoretical approach of the “new right,” the far-right group of the South Korean conservatives, which diminish the importance of anti-Japanese resistance, especially the left wing, in restoring Korean state sovereignty. At the same time, the “new right” proponents highly appreciates the role of the first President Syngman Rhee in the establishment of the Republic of Korea, ensuring its security and prosperity. The conservative government supports public initiatives to restore the positive image of Syngman Rhee, who resigned as a result of the 1960 April Revolution. Progressives have an extremely negative attitude towards conservative’s attempts to revive the legacy of Syngman Rhee, who was guilty of the presidential election fraud and political repressions.
Crime and Punishment in Ottoman Egypt in the Last Quarter of the 18th Century: the Yusuf Bey Murder Case
Authors: Smirnov Valery Evgenievich
Published: April 2024

The study, executed in the form of a case-method, focuses on a story from the chronicle of the prominent Egyptian historian Abd al-Rahman al-Jabarti, describing the murder of Yusuf Bey, one of the ruling emirs of Egypt. By using this particular historical episode, the author illustrates the complicated relationship between the Muslim religious leaders of Egypt (ulama) and the military elite of the country represented by the neo-Mamluk “nobility”. Investigating these, at the first glance, ordinary circumstances of this gloomy case, the author comes to an unexpected conclusion. However, according to the researcher, the assassination of this key figure of the Egyptian military elite does not fit into the traditional struggle between or within the ruling factions, that filled the entire history of Egypt under the Ottomans. According to the author, the main reason for Yusuf Bey’s unenviable fate was his unceasing confrontation with the representatives of the Alim corps, the guardians and interpreters of the centuries-old Muslim heritage. By putting himself in opposition to the Muslim scholars, imprisoning and threatening them, infringing on their lives for the sake of his personal ambitions, Yusuf Bey violated the principles of respect and deference to the holders of spiritual authority and suffered the deserved punishment according to the generally accepted norms of behavior among the ruling elite of Ottoman Egypt.
Diplomacy of European States and the Revolution of 1830 in Belgium
Authors: Zhidkova Oksana V. , Popova Elena A.
Published: April 2024

The nature of interstate and international relations in the post - Napoleonic period was determined at the Vienna Congress of 1814-1815. Maintaining peace and stability in Europe, preserving the legitimacy of the ruling dynasties and controlling the balance of power were considered one of the main tasks of the Vienna system of international relations. The main obstacles to compliance with these principles were the revolutionary events of 1820-1830, which arose in different regions of Europe. The response to the “challenges” of the new system of international relations was both diplomatic and military measures to maintain the status quo of European states. The purpose of the article is to analyze the positions of the leading European states at the initial stage of the revolution in Belgium, which began in August 1830. In the context of the growing revolutionary crisis in Europe, it is important to understand what motives guided the Russian, French, Austrian, Prussian and English sides in developing their positions, what were the motives of their foreign policy in Belgium and how they influenced multilateral relations during the Belgian revolution. The study of the diplomatic correspondence of representatives of European countries through the channels of foreign ministries made it possible to identify the differences that existed between Russia, England, France, Austria and Prussia on the Belgian issue, to trace the changes in the positions of the countries in the process of developing a joint solution. An analysis of the process of European countries making decisions about the future of Belgium showed the desire of the participants of the “European concert” to comply with the principles of the Vienna system of international relations.
Soviet Federal Project and the Collisions of Nation Building in the 1920-1930s
Authors: Amanzholova Dina A.
Published: April 2024

The author examines the collisions of the Soviet nation-building which are actively debated in modern historiography. The source base for the research is the published materials, as well as the archival documents of the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History and the Archive of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. There are analyzed some specific historical subjects and the contribution of modern historiography to the understanding of the current problems and the formulation of new ideas and approaches to the analysis of the designated set of issues including the tools of Soviet socio-political engineering, the role and significance of ethnopolitical elites in the creation of the USSR as a complex hierarchical structure. It is concluded that the contradictions in the implementation of ethnonational policy were directly related to the formation of the Soviet federation, which became a concession to the ethnopolitical movements of the early XX century; and managing diversity was the central task of the state as an alternative to previous political systems for culturally complex societies.

The authors consider the issues of involvement of native minorities of the Russian North in the Soviet construction in the first half of the 1920s. The problem is illustrated through the example of Turukhansk region (until 1930 it united the peoples that populated the North of Yeniseysk Governorate). The source base includes the documents from the fund of the State Archive of Krasnoyarsk Territory. It is noted that during the early Soviet period the national policy towards the indigenous peoples of the North was characterized by flexibility and search for balance between the interests of the government and the northern peoples. This policy was mostly founded on socio-economical tasks, rather than political ones. At this stage the government assumed the administration management, provision of economic aid to the native minorities of the North, preservation of the life-sustaining system for using natural resources, all that determined their traditional lifestyle. There began the creation of institutions of self-government (clan councils), trade services, medical care and school education. It was the Northern instructors that acted as conductors of Soviet policy among indigenous peoples. It was intended, on the one hand, to streamline the activities of Soviet institutions among the indigenous peoples of the North, and on the other hand, to help the latter adapt to the new socio-economic conditions. The authors determine the specifics and role of Northern inspectors (from 1924 - instructors in foreign affairs) through the nature of interaction between state, local administrative and clan institutions in the process of developing and implementing support for indigenous peoples of the Yenisey North; their general catastrophic situation could entail irreversible processes of the extinction of these peoples.

The authors present a comparative description, some socio-demographic features and migration processes of the ethnic groups of the Tobolsk Governorate in order to assess the level of the formation of ethno-confessional communities and diasporas there, to determine strategies for their adaptation and/or integration with local urban society at the turn of the XX century. Special attention is paid to representatives of the Jewish, Polish and German populations. The sources of the study are both the published results of the 1897 First General Census of the Russian Empire for the Tobolsk Governorate and census forms. Using the comprehensive analysis of personal data, there was obtained a sample based on the criterion of native language (Polish, Jewish, German) which included 308 Germans, 1840 Poles and 1876 Jews. The authors come to the conclusion that the number of local natives, the registered population, the structure of their families, and the religious buildings indicate the presence of Jewish and Polish diasporas in Tobolsk, a Jewish community in Yalutorovsk, and a Polish community in Ishim. At the same time, it was established that the German population in the towns was sparse; the Jewish community was the most closed one; mixed marriages were more common in the Polish and German communities and they were actively replenished by immigrants from the Kingdom of Poland and Baltic provinces.

The article discusses the main directions of ensuring information sovereignty in the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, as well as ways to improve them. To date, some problems have been identified that relate to the security of the information sphere of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, which made it possible to create specific measures to resolve them.

Aim. In the information sphere of countries such as the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, various studies of a comprehensive plan were conducted by various scientists, politicians, as well as the military. Thanks to these studies, today there is a theoretical basis for improving the entire mechanism for protecting the information sovereignty of the two countries. However, due to the dynamism of the integration plan processes, changes in globalization, as well as due to the situation in geopolitics, it becomes necessary to conduct more and more analytical studies regarding the application of practical experience in ensuring national security in the information sphere.

Tasks. Identification and justification of priority areas for improving the provision of information sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation as the basis of the information component.

Methods. During the study, standard scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, expert-analytical, structural-logical, comparative and structural-functional methods, as well as a forecasting method were used.

Results. The study showed that the information sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation ensures their political, economic, social stability and sustainable progressive development, since in the context of the globalization of the information space and key areas of public life, the influence on the information field increases and the importance of information security at the national levels increases for each state.

Conclusions. It is expedient to consolidate the equal importance in the composition of the structural mechanisms for ensuring the information sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, their constitutional and legal status and equivalent nature. The use of exclusively control and supervisory, regulatory and restrictive procedures in the information environment is not sufficient to maintain information sovereignty.
