Wpływ ‘doktryny sygnatur’ Paracelsusa na nominację językową w botanice (na przykładzie nazw roślin zielarskich)
Authors: Stec Wanda Małgorzata
Published: May 2021

W artykule przedstawiono założenia sformułowanej przez Paracelsusa w XVI wieku tzw. doktryny sygnatur oraz pokazano jej wpływ na nominację językową w botanice. Asocjacje między podobieństwem cech morfologicznych roślin do narządów i objawów chorobowych człowieka, sugerujące związek wyglądu roślin z przypisywanym im działaniem leczniczym, zostały zilustrowane na przykładzie nazewnictwa roślin zielarskich. Z przeprowadzonej analizy wynika, że krytykowana i odrzucona przez uczonych teoria sygnatur znalazła swoje odzwierciedlenie nie tylko w łacińskiej nomenklaturze naukowej, ale również w polskich i rosyjskich nazwach zwyczajowych (botanicznych narodowych) oraz w mianownictwie ludowym. Mimo nieracjonalności i nienaukowości, wywarła ona pewien wpływ na postrzeganie świata roślin przez użytkowników języka, co przełożyło się na nazewnictwo. Część nazw utworzonych na zasadzie skojarzeń budowy roślin z ich działaniem leczniczym nie znajduje uzasadnienia i prowadzi do mylnych wniosków, niektóre jednak są trafne.
Strategie aktu przeproszenia w nauce języku portugalskiego jako obcego
Authors: Wiśniewska Justyna
Published: May 2021

We begin our considerations with claiming that in the process of teaching a foreign language, the primary aim is to develop the pragmatic and communicative competence which means, among others, the ability to construct utterances that are correct and adequate for a particular communicative situation. The subject of this article is to present formal strategies concerning the act of apology, employed by Polish students in the process of learning Portuguese as a foreign language. Since the act of apology can be considered as one of the most essential acts of speech in communication, it is, therefore, important to verify which type of the act of apology is employed by students who are not native users of the Portuguese language.
Wspominane, wyobrażone, przesunięte. Rosja i Francja w emigracyjnej korespondencji Zinaidy Gippius
Authors: Krycka-Michnowska Iwona
Published: May 2021

The topic of this article are the letters of Zinaida Gippius from 1920-1945, which permit one to read the images of Russia and France contained therein as the result of the emigration experience. The analysis of correspondence leads to the conclusion that emigration shapes the identity of the writer, who over the years begins to perceive France as her new home and new homeland. However, in creating her autobiographical place, Gippius does not limit herself to one model. In her correspondence permanently there is a  tension between Russian and French fate. Next to the aforementioned and Bolshevik Russia there is the picture of a new, imaginary Russia: free, just, based on the principles of brotherhood.
From Cerisy to Oubapo
Authors: Groensteen Thierry
Published: May 2021

Thierry Groensteen’s memoir recalls the intellectual ferment of colloquia held at Cerisy-la-Salle in Normandy, subsequently the venue for two conferences organised by Groensteen himself. The first, the ground-breaking Bande dessinée, récit et modernité [Comics, Narrative and Modernity] in 1987, was a key moment in the history of the theorisation of comics as art form. Groensteen’s own presentation explored the threshold of narrativity in comics, and other noteworthy contributions included those of the philosopher Henri Van Lier and Marc Avelot, whose reading of Martin Vaughn-James’s La Cage rescued this masterpiece from obscurity. This conference also laid the foundations for the Oubapo movement, the production of comics under constraint, whose later development Groensteen chronicles. The second, ‘La Transécriture’, in 1993, was an early exploration of comics as part of a cross-media environment.

The dynamic development of market relations in Ukraine causes increased requirements for the staffing system of enterprises. Personnel management acquires special importance in enterprises belonging to the sphere of trade. Whereas in this sector there are specific labor relations, which are formed in accordance with a large number of types of trade; personnel in this area cannot be replaced by automated work; the human qualities of the employees are important. The conditions in which commercial enterprises operate today require a clear awareness of management that personnel management is one of the components of effective enterprise management. Modern conditions require changes in the basic requirements for employees; increasing attention is paid to the search for new approaches to building a personnel management system; Ukrainian companies adapt the experience of foreign companies. The activity of any enterprise is directly dependent on how competent the personnel policy is. Therefore, there is a need to find modern concepts of personnel management and approaches to improving personnel policy. The research of theoretical and methodical approaches to formation of concepts of personnel management is generalized, the tasks and the basic principles of their realization are specified. The preconditions for increasing the efficiency of the personnel of a trade enterprise are determined, the ways of applying effective motivation in increasing labor productivity are specified. The principles of formation of rational personnel policy of trade enterprises in modern conditions are investigated.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the methodological support of investment processes in order to make effective management decisions. Key investment indicators have been identified. Theoretical aspects of investment are generalized, its features in the conditions of post-reform development of agrarian formations in the context of institutional transformations are defined. As a result of the study, the theoretical and methodological principles for studying investment processes in the agricultural sector are summarized by establishing their special features and conditions of implementation in accordance with the specifics, needs and importance of agricultural formations for food security. The investment of agrarian formations in the conditions of market relations, which takes place at different levels, in different conditions and with different purposes, requires a comprehensive study from different points of view, methodological approaches with the use of appropriate methodological apparatus. In the most general terms, research is carried out at different levels of investment activity. Accordingly, the main indicators of investment efficiency will differ at the macro level (level of resource provision of capital and financial investments, level of sectoral and regional concentration of investment resources, investment climate in the country) and micro level (resource provision of fixed assets at the enterprise level). levels of individual and institutional investors, investment qualities of investment instruments; investment attractiveness of enterprises, securities, real estate). Thus, the knowledge of investment activity in terms of different approaches that reveal the essence of its basic principles and principles is the most complete from a methodological point of view. Accordingly, considering investing in terms of systemic and process approach based on risk factors and calculated performance indicators, we get the opportunity to draw conclusions, generalizations, predictions that characterize its current and future state and contribute to the formation of holistic scientific knowledge about it. The methodology of investment activity research includes a subsystem of indicators that characterize the investment process and a subsystem of indicators of investment results obtained as a result of investment projects. An important approach that allows you to optimize the pace and structure of investment over time is a process approach that considers the phenomena in motion. This allows you to manage costs and make effective decisions before you start investing.

Published: May 2021

National security is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that ensures the stability of political, economic, diplomatic, military and other spheres in the state. The processes currently taking place in our country impose certain restrictions on the growth and development of all spheres of public life, thus creating a critical threat to Ukraine’s national security. In order to reduce the negative effects of globalization, the level of threats to national security, on the one hand, and to create conditions for the development of innovative ideas and increase competitiveness – on the other, it is necessary to develop a strategy for clustering socio-economic systems as a tool for national security. The article is devoted to the strategy of clustering of socio-economic systems as an effective tool for ensuring the appropriate level of national security. It is proved that the strategy of clustering of socio-economic systems should be an effective incentive for the state to develop effective steps towards ensuring its national security. The main problems that hinder the clustering process and pose a threat to the national security of the state are identified. It is determined that the formation of the relevant strategy should include strategic goals that must be achieved by taking into account the existing external conditions, resources and needs within the framework of the goal, as well as tasks that should meet existing resources and goals. The essence of cluster policy, which is implemented on the basis of cluster programs, is clarified. Conceptual bases of development of strategy of clustering of social and economic systems in the context of national security of Ukraine are developed that provide allocation of such components as the general structure, the basic tasks and tools of strategy of clustering.

Authors:   National Scientific Center “Institute Agrarian Economics”, Khioni G.
Published: May 2021

The purpose of this study is to assess the current methodological support for the analysis of indicators of investment attractiveness of enterprises and agribusiness projects, identify shortcomings and justify proposals in order to make effective management decisions on the feasibility of investing. Methods of analysis of indicators of investment attractiveness of enterprises, approved at the legislative level, are investigated, their shortcomings are defined. Indicators of investment attractiveness are indicators on the basis of which investors determine the feasibility of investing. In most cases, in order to make effective management decisions, it is customary to conduct a comprehensive analysis. One of the methods of independent inspection of an enterprise or object for investment, based on an integrated approach, is the Due Diligence method. To date, there is no single comprehensive method of Due Diligence. Such verification is carried out by enterprises with the use of foreign practices, with the adaptation of the methodology to the peculiarities of the national business and economic environment, as well as with the use of national methods of analysis and evaluation of enterprises. Having analyzed the methodological support for the analysis of enterprises in Ukraine, we can state that the main criteria for assessing the financial stability of the enterprise are: financial stability, profitability, solvency, creditworthiness, liquidity and business activity. According to the functional purpose, the assessment of agribusiness enterprises has the same methodology as the assessment of enterprises of other sectors of the economy. However, when analyzing the performance of agricultural enterprises, it is necessary to take into account specific objects – biological assets of plant and animal origin, seasonality, climatic conditions, land relations, heterogeneity of equipment and means of production over time. As a result of the study, the method of analysis of investment attractiveness of agricultural enterprises taking into account sectoral characteristics was further developed, including the following indicators: environmental and economic effect, budget effect, social efficiency of the project, efficiency of modernization, efficiency of innovation. The use of these indicators will increase the efficiency of managing indicators of investment attractiveness of investments.

The current stage of development of the quality of life of the Ukrainian people is associated with the period of the coronavirus pandemic and the need to solve the problem of healthy nutrition, rational use of energy and material resources. The development of a smart food system for soldiers of the Armed Forces, miners, metallurgists and people living in areas with high levels of pollution in the conditions of probable diseases on Covid-19 requires innovative solutions to develop a wide range of competitive products with high consumer properties. Developed a system for modeling and optimizing the recipe of smart food for people who work and live in areas with man-made pressure and built a digital platform frame. Digital platform “Food” evaluates the nutritional composition of the product, the properties of the object of study, analyzes information and creates databases, precedents, knowledge and operational data through frames and algorithms introduced into the software environment. The principles of simulation modeling of smart food products with the help of digital platform “Food” balanced in nutritional composition are substantiated. Such products can be recommended for certain categories of people: with difficult working conditions (services) and those living in areas with man-made pollution. The system allows real-time assessment of the environmental characteristics of raw materials (environmental friendliness, safety, functional and technological properties, chemical composition, nutritional and energy value) and smart food. Developed smart products with nutrient-balanced meat products have health and preventive properties and are recommended for consumption by miners, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and people living in areas with man-made pollution. Socio-economic effect of the developed food is achieved due to the multifactorial preventive effect on the human body. The preventive effect for the human body occurs under the influence of a balanced set of useful nutrients and biologically active substances.

Published: May 2021

The focus on the simultaneous solution of social, economic and environmental problems allows to form programs of sustainable and inclusive development, which should be based on innovative projects that provide more efficient use of resources with higher returns, increase productivity, increase the level of intellectualization of production. A special feature of innovative projects is their high level of risk. This has a decisive influence on management decisions regarding their implementation. That is why risk assessment of innovative projects occupies a special place in the field of economic research. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological principles of selection of innovative projects by the subjects of the agricultural sector of the economy on the basis of the proposed methods of assessing their risk. It has been established that one of the key aspects of comparing projects and portfolios is risk consideration. The list of risk groups of innovative projects is established. It is proposed to use evaluation by quantitative methods (statistical, analytical, cost-effectiveness method, normative method) and qualitative (impact analysis, probability of loss analysis, expert method). As a result of evaluation, data sets are formed for each individual project, which include the values of quantitative indicators of the effects of agroinnovation, ranking values for qualitative parameters of achieving benefits, quantitative values of risks and integral value for qualitative risk assessment determined using fuzzy sets. The process of assessing the impact of risks on the qualitative parameters of the effects of the implementation of agro-innovative projects and the procedure for assessing the generalized impact of risks on all qualitative parameters on the project using the fuzzy set method are detailed. The implementation of the developed algorithm allows to ensure a synergistic effect from the interaction of agro-innovative projects in the process of ensuring the innovative development of the agricultural sector of Ukraine’s economy.

Published: May 2021

In the conditions of financial and economic crisis the problem of formation of human potential for sustainable development of rural areas arises with special urgency. The personnel problem is faced not only by farms in crisis, but also by economically stable agricultural organizations with efficient dynamics of reproduction, high profitability and competitive positions. Carrying out an active personnel policy requires the development of an appropriate management strategy, the definition of specific organizational and managerial decisions, the implementation of which should lead to the improvement of all work on the staffing of the agro-industrial complex. The use of personnel technologies contributes to the optimal solution of strategic and current issues of personnel policy, the formation of a competitive professional qualification structure, the identification of promising employees. Monitoring of personnel processes allows tracking trends, modeling and forecasting personnel situations in order to take the necessary measures in a timely manner. This requires a radical overhaul of existing statistical reporting on personnel, which will create the necessary database for the creation and implementation of flexible personnel policy and the adoption of sound management decisions on human resources in the industry. It is necessary to develop at all levels of management long-term programs of staffing of agriculture, taking into account its diversity. The priority of the governing bodies of the agro-industrial complex, agricultural education institutions is to improve the structure and quality of training, implementation of measures for their consolidation in specialized organizations and effective use of the received specialty. Solving personnel problems of multifaceted agriculture requires increasing the role of information and consulting services of the agro-industrial complex in non-formal education of staff and villagers, to expand the network of relevant services on the basis of educational institutions and research institutions. To solve the existing problem, it is necessary to organize a single professional and competence approach in the training of new generation of managers, which are necessary in connection with the introduction of innovative technologies in agricultural production.

Electricity production has the greatest impact on socio-economic development in Romania. However, it is also responsible for the cumulative (often negative) environmental effects. In order to meet the energy demand, while achieving the Energy and Climate Change goals, Renewable Energy has become an important alternative, especially during 2010-2013 period when substantial funding has been allocated. Renewable energy sources available in Romania (hydro, solar, geothermal, wind and biomass) have the capacity to reduce greenhouse gases and improve population health by producing energy without using fossil fuels. The current study focuses on the examination of environmental and socio-economic impact of photovoltaic (PV) energy in the West Development Region (WDR). The area is located in the western part of Romania, covering 32,028 km2 (13.4% of the country's surface) and gathering 1,828 million inhabitants (9.4% of the country's population). It includes four counties: Timiș, Arad, Caraş-Severin and Hunedoara. For the current study, 35 photovoltaic parks were identified, mapped and analysed, based on which several indicators were computed in order to highlight the environmental and socio-economic consequences: share of PV parks/land use category/main soil type; distance to forests, waters, Natura 2000; no. of jobs created during the construction/operation of the PV parks; the value of PV parks investment; the impact on the local budget. The total analyzed area covers 177.76 ha.

Environment protection, like a new religion consists of: environmental programmes, objectives and targets, training, incentive schemes, audit frequency, site inspections, administration and community relations. This paper presents the main environmental performance indicators. They should therefore be cost-effective and appropriate to the size and type of organization and its needs and priorities. Organizations should make the optimum use of the environmental information they collect. To this end the indicators should fulfill the dual purpose of assisting the management of the organization and providing information to stakeholders. In article we present a set of Environmental Performance Indicators (EPI). These indicators should therefore be cost-effective and appropriate to the size and type of organization and its needs and priorities. We present many categories of environmental performance indicators: comparability (indicators should enable a comparison and show changes in the environmental performance); balance between problematic (bad) and prospective (good) areas, continuity (indicators should be based on the same criteria and should be taken over comparable time sections or units); timeliness (indicators should be updated frequently enough to allow action to be taken); clarity (indicators should be clear and understandable).

CULTURE – HOUSE RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF CULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY: EVALUATION ON EXAMPLES
Authors: Geçimli Meryem , Nuhoğlu Mehmet
Published: May 2021

There are close relationships between the cultural structures of societies and residential areas. The place where the society chooses to live and the ways it is organized is an expression of the cultural structure. Traditional houses are accepted as the most obvious indicator of this situation. One of the ways of preserving cultural sustainability today is to read the design principles of these houses correctly. Culture is about what kind of environment people live in and how they live. Human behaviors are based on cultural references. Religion, view of life and perceptions of the environment are both dialectically shaped culture and shaped by culture. Culture is about where and how human meets his needs throughout his life. It can be said that culture is one of the basic factors that direct human behavior and life. Therefore, the cultural embedding of sustainability thought is important in shaping the world in which future generations will live. Regarding various cultures in the literature; the structure of the society, their way of life and how they shape their places of residence, etc. there are many studies. The riches that each culture possesses are considered to be indisputable. These important studies are mostly based on an in-depth analysis of that culture, concentrating on a single specific culture. In this study, it is aimed to make a more holistic analysis by examining more than one culture. Thanks to this holistic perspective, it is thought that it will be possible to make inferences that can be considered as common to all societies. This study, which especially focuses on Asian and African societies, is the tendency of these societies to maintain their cultural structure compared to other societies. The reflections of cultural practices on residential spaces are examined through various examples. The dialectical structure of Berber houses, integration of Chinese houses with natural environmental references, Toroja houses associated with the genealogy in Indonesia, etc. examples will be examined in the context of cultural sustainability in this study. With this holistic approach, where the basic philosophy of cultural sustainability can be obtained, important references can be obtained in the design of today's residences.

New technologies and automation systems have changed the traditional smart grid systems into new and integrated intelligent systems. These new smart systems are adopted for energy efficiency, demand and response, management and control, fault recovery, reliability and quality of services. With various benefits, smart grids have vulnerabilities due to open communication systems, and open infrastructures. Smart grids systems are based on real-time services, where privacy and security id one of the major challenge. In order to address these challenges and deal with security and privacy issues, we proposed a Trust Evaluation Model for Smart Grids (TEMSG) for secure data aggregation in smart grids and smart cities. This model tackles privacy and security issues such as data theft, denial of services, data privacy and inside and outside attacks and malware attacks. Machine learning methods are used to gather trust values and then estimate the imprecise information to secure the data aggregation in smart grids. Experiments are conducted to evaluate and analyze the proposed model in terms of detection rate, trustworthiness, and accuracy.

BACKGROUND: Many patients visiting physiotherapists for musculoskeletal disorders face psychosocial challenges which may form a large barrier to recover. There are only a limited number of evidence based psychosocial therapies, but they are mainly based on breathing exercises. OBJECTIVE: to study which respiration frequency would lead to the highest relaxation, reflected in vagal tone derived from the heart rate variability (HRV) in healthy subjects. METHODS: A randomized controlled cross sectional study was performed. Respiration cycles of four, five, six, seven and eight breaths per minute (BPM) were delivered in randomized order for two minutes each. HRV metrics were measured during the sessions with electrocardiogram (ECG). Repeated Measures ANOVA’s were performed to analyze differences between breathing frequencies. RESULTS: 100 healthy volunteers were included (40 male). Standard Deviation of inter beat intervals (SDNN) values were significantly highest at 5 BPM, whereas the Root Mean Square of Successive Differences (RMSSD) values appeared highest at 7 breaths per minute (p< 0.01). High Frequency (HF) power was lowest at 4 BPM, whereas Low Frequency (LF) power was not significantly influenced by respiration frequency. CONCLUSIONS: Breathing at a frequency of 5 to 7 breaths per minute leads to highest HRV values, but there is no single respiration ratio that maximizes all metrics. Physiotherapists may use five to seven BPM as guidance to determine ideal breathing frequencies.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal problem, which commonly affects balance. Sustained natural apophyseal glide (SNAG) is a successful treatment approach for LPB. However, its influence on balance problems has not been studied before. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the immediate effect of SNAG on postural stability and pain in individuals with flexion-dominant chronic low back pain (FCLBP). METHODS: Randomized placebo-controlled trial in which 64 participants with FCLBP were randomly allocated into two groups (SNAG and sham). SNAG group (n= 32) received central lumbar SNAG on the symptomatic lumbar level(s). Sham group (n= 32) received sham SNAG. The outcome measures were postural stability indices; overall stability index (OSI), anteroposterior stability index (APSI), and mediolateral stability index (MLSI) in addition to pain intensity. Outcomes were assessed using the Biodex Balance System and visual analog scale respectively. Measures were taken before and immediately after interventions. RESULTS: There were statistical significance and high effect size (ES) in favor of the SNAG group regarding OSI, APSI, and pain (p< 0.01, cohen’s d ES =1.3, 1.4, 1.1 respectively). MLSI showed moderate ES (cohen’s d= 0.7) but did not reach a statistically significant level (p= 0.05). CONCLUSION: Lumbar SNAG produces an immediate improvement in postural stability and pain in individuals with FCLBP.

BACKGROUND: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common knee problem. The foot posture in a relaxed stance is reported as a distal factor of PFP. However, the effects of short foot exercise (SFE) on the knee and functional factors have not yet been investigated in patients with PFP. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the additional effects of SFE on knee pain, foot biomechanics, and lower extremity muscle strength in patients with PFP following a standard exercise program. METHODS: Thirty patients with a ‘weak and pronated’ foot subgroup of PFP were randomized into a control group (ConG, n= 15) and a short foot exercise group (SFEG, n= 15) with concealed allocation and blinded to the group assignment. The program of ConG consisted of hip and knee strengthening and stretching exercises. SFEG program consisted of additional SFE. Both groups performed the supervised training protocol two times per week for 6 weeks. Assessment measures were pain visual analog scale (pVAS), Kujala Patellofemoral Score (KPS), navicular drop test (NDT), rearfoot angle (RA), foot posture index (FPI), and strength tests of the lower extremity muscles. RESULTS: Both groups displayed decreases in pVAS scores, but it was only significant in favor of SFEG. NDT, RA, and FPI scores decreased in SFEG whereas they increased in ConG. There was a significant group-by-time interaction effect in hip extensor strength and between-group difference was found to be significantly in favor of SFEG. CONCLUSIONS: An intervention program consisting of additional SFE had positive effects on knee pain, navicular position, and rearfoot posture. An increase in the strength of the hip extensors may also be associated with improved stabilization by SFE.
