Forgiveness as a Therapeutic Approach and a Factor in Everyday Life: Methods of Research and Means of Enhancing
Authors: Todorova Vera
Published: December 2024

Forgiveness, traditionally rooted in religious beliefs and theology, has evolved into a significant psychological concept, influencing mental health and well-being. While religion emphasizes forgiveness as a spiritual mandate, modern psychological research explores its therapeutic value, focusing on self-forgiveness and its efficacy in addressing depression, anger, and trauma. Tools such as Enright Forgiveness Inventory are the breaking ground for research and interventions; REACH method, and Unconditional Forgiveness Method demonstrate how forgiveness can enhance emotional resilience and personal growth. Furthermore, the cultural, educational, and familial modeling of forgiveness plays a pivotal role in shaping individual’s capacity to forgive. The integration of forgiveness into psychotherapy highlights its potential to reconcile emotions, foster hope, and improve life satisfaction across diverse contexts. However, challenges such as misconceptions and cultural attitudes require further exploration to maximize forgiveness’s benefits in therapeutic and societal applications.

Comprehensive Assessment of Artificial Intelligence Adoption Among Elementary School Teachers
Authors: Darmawan Erlan , Rahman Titik Khawa Abdul , Thamrin Nani Ronsani
Published: December 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer system that mimics the human brain's ability to process information and make decisions. AI technology is used to learn patterns in data and make predictions or decisions based on that learning. Based on the current situation, elementary school teachers need help in adopting AI technology due to limited training, lack of resources, and resistance to change. In order to address this problem, this research aims to identify the factors influencing the adoption of AI technology among primary school teachers in West Java, Indonesia. The research involved 384 participants and used a quantitative approach. Specific factors influencing AI adoption were identified by developing a model for AI-based teaching and learning and assessing readiness factors. The results from the study identified optimism, innovativeness, insecurity, discomfort, perceived validity, trust, usefulness, and ease of use as factors in the successful adoption of AI among primary school teachers in West Java. The customized adoption model provides a practical roadmap for integrating AI into teaching and learning processes, highlighting regional specificities while remaining relevant to similar educational challenges worldwide. The assessment of readiness factors provides actionable insights for fostering a supportive environment for technology integration. The study concluded with recommendations for future research and implications for educators, administrators, and policymakers
Urban transport lines and their role in the reintegration of marginalized neighborhoods. Case study of the Old Town of Mila City, Northeast Algeria
Authors: Gherabi Nedjla , Bounemeur Nabila , Dib Yasser
Published: December 2024

The transport sector has seen significant development in recent years. Algerian cities, like other cities in the world, have grown and expanded their geographic area, and the population has increased as well, leading to increased demand for transportation. However, this increase and growth have not been accompanied by development in the policies adopted in organizing transportation and its means.
The city of Mila, like other Algerian cities, suffers from several problems, including marginalization, which dominates several neighborhoods. This is characterized by isolation and difficulty of access to an area or region within the city, and results from several internal and external factors. What has worsened the situation in these neighborhoods is that they are victims of urban development tools and planning policies, along with poor management and organization of transportation and traffic movement. This has deepened the crisis, depriving them of mobility and vitality, and has led to their continued marginalization and isolation from other neighborhoods
in the city.
The objective of this research is to implement innovative solutions and proposals for the marginalized neighborhood, aimed at fostering balance and harmony while ensuring its integration into the dynamics of development through the enhancement of public urban bus transportation.
Divine Transcendence and the Possibility of Theological Dialogue between Christians and Muslims
Authors: Orbih William I
Published: December 2024

Using the works of Christian and Muslim theologians, this article is a comparative study of the relationship between divine transcendence and revelation in the two religions to demonstrate how an understanding of divine transcendence can engender the proper disposition and motive for Christian-Muslim dialogue. It argues that a more robust understanding of the concept of divine transcendence, distinct from “negative theology,” among Christians and Muslims would invariably lead to doctrinal humility, which will, in turn, lead to a theological dialogue that is mutually transforming. Without doctrinal humility, which Catherine Cornille in her 2008 book, The Im-possibility of Interreligious Dialogue, defines as “the humble awareness of the limitation of one’s understanding,” this kind of productive dialogue remains elusive. Entering dialogue for the wrong reason or with the wrong disposition, such as wanting to assert the superiority of one’s religion, often leads to counter-productive consequences.
From Polemical to Dialogical Encounter
Authors: Haworth Marcus Timothy
Published: December 2024

In 1902, Ghulam Ahmad, the Indo-Pakistani founder of the Ahmadiyah Muslim Community—a revivalist, messianic movement within    Sunni Islam—issued “an answer” to John Alexander Dowie’s, the Scottish-born non-denominationalist Christian preacher and forerunner of modern-day Pentecostalism’s, impassioned renunciation of the Islamic faith. In doing so, Ahmad invited Dowie to engage him in a mubahala, or a “prayer duel” to the death, to determine the truthfulness or fallacy of each other’s faith expression. With Dowie’s subsequent passing in 1907, Ahmad’s presumed “great victory” became one of the foundational narratives upon which Ahmadi Muslims constructed the validity of the Ahmadiyah and, consequently, structured their relationship with Christians. In this article, I explore the general contours of this mubahala invitation as well as Ahmadis differing responses to its historical and contemporaneous narrativization. Due to increased contact between Ahmadis and Christians living in the West, I contend that Ahmadi narratives surrounding this event, while historically polemical in nature, ultimately became the cornerstone upon which a positive and constructive Ahmadi Muslim-Christian engagement could be fostered, namely one built on shared collegiality and reciprocal, interfaith understanding garnered through deep, pluralistic encounter.
Who is Hosting Whom? Guest-Host Relations in Eucharist and Prasada
Authors: Moore-Keish Martha
Published: December 2024

This comparative theological essay explores the dynamic interplay of guesting and hosting in (Reformed Protestant) Christian and (Vaishnavite) Hindu understandings of Eucharist and prasada. In both cases there is a delicious reversal of expectation of who is guest and who is host. Yet the direction of the roles and their reversals are inverted: in Vaishnava Hinduism, devotees welcome Vishnu as guest and make him welcome, even as they are also ultimately guests themselves; in Christianity, the devotees are guests, and they learn from that experience how to be hosts. In both cases, guest-host relations facilitate mutual relationship, even union, between humanity and God. For both, guesting and hosting are important for distinguishing between deity and devotee—and also for crossing that line of distinction.
The Assessment of the Effectiveness of Ultrasound and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of the Lungs for the Differential Diagnosis of Transient Tachypnea of Newborns and Congenital Pneumonia in Children over 350 Weeks of Gestation. The Prospective Study
Authors: Shestak Evgenii V. , Kovtun Olga P. , Starkov Vadim Yu.
Published: December 2024

Background. The most common cause of respiratory disorders (RD) in the first hours after birth in children older than 35 weeks of gestation are transient tachypnea of the newborns (TTN) and early neonatal infection, in particular, congenital pneumonia (CP). However, in the first 4 hours of life, there are no reliable methods for diagnosing these diseases. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound (US) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of the lungs for the differential diagnosis of TTN and CP in children older than 35 weeks of gestation. Methods. A prospective single-center cohort study based on the Yekaterinburg Clinical Perinatal Center. Newborns older than 35 weeks of gestation with the development of RD in the first 4 hours of life were included, the sample size was 200 children. Upon admission to NICU, he performed studies: US and NIRS of the lungs on the lateral and posterior surfaces of the chest on both sides. A comparative analysis of the score of lung US and NIRS indicators in patients with TTN and CP was carried out. Results. During the study and subsequent analysis of the results, it was revealed that the studied methods for the differential diagnosis of TTN and CP have sensitivity and specificity, respectively: only US of the lungs 75.9% and 57.0%; only lung NIRS 77.6% and 74.6%; US and lung NIRS 86.2% and 84.5% together, the area under the curve 0.898, 95% CI 0.854–0.943, р < 0,001. There is also evidence that the pattern of consolidation in the lungs is significantly more often recorded by US at VP (р < 0,001). Conclusion. The study showed that the combined usage of US and lung NIRS has high sensitivity and specificity for the differential diagnosis of TTN and CP and is a promising method for early diagnosis of these diseases.

Published: December 2024

Background. After a coronavirus infection, a number of people have long-term health abnormalities, often requiring therapeutic intervention.
Aims — to describe the features of the course of the convalescence period in patients who have had a coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Methods. A special questionnaire was prepared for patients, which included questions to assess the course of the convalescence period in patients who had a coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The survey was conducted electronically on the platform testograf.ru.
Results. The study involved 24,126 people aged 18 to 95 years. After the primary disease, 67.58% of respondents had complaints, and 66.1% had complaints after the second one. Asthenic syndrome, cognitive and memory disorders were most often recorded, as well as respiratory function disorders (cough, shortness of breath) and gastrointestinal tract functions (diarrhea, constipation, dyspepsia), olfactory and taste disorders, hair loss. Skin manifestations, decreased visual acuity, complaints of frequent acute respiratory infections, sleep disorders, prolonged subfebrility and others were rare. Among the group of patients who had an exacerbation of somatic pathology, the most significant were diseases of the cardiovascular system and musculoskeletal system. After a coronavirus infection in the form of pneumonia in the period of convalescence, respiratory disorders were significantly more often recorded, and in the gastrointestinal form, damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
Conclusions. the classification of clinical forms of postcovid syndrome includes four main blocks of clinical manifestations of the period of convalescence of coronavirus infection: virus-associated manifestations, iatrogenic, genetically determined, associated with somatic pathology.
Habitual Accommodative Excess: Current State of the Problem
Authors: Morozova Tatiana A. , Pikusova Svetlana M.
Published: December 2024

Accommodation disorders play an important role in the formation and progression of refractive errors in the modern world. Habitual accommodative excess is observed in patients starting from childhood up to the age of presbyopia, and may have a different nature. This article summarizes prevailing ideas about etiology, classification, diagnosis and treatment of accommodation disorders. The authors of the article proposed their own etiopathogenetic classification of habitual accommodative excess, which includes following groups: habitual accommodative excess in progressive myopia; habitual accommodative excess in uncorrected hyperopia and/or astigmatism; habitual accommodative excess at pre-presbyopic age; habitual accommodative excess in patients taking psychotropic medications; habitual accommodative excess as a result of acute ciliary stress after refractive surgery; habitual accommodative excess due to anisometropia; habitual accommodative excess in patients with keratoconus. The concept of acute ciliary stress was introduced for the first time. Acute ciliary stress is characterized by acute dysfunction of the ciliary muscle in early postoperative period of refractive surgery due to exposure to a femtosecond laser vacuum ring and microvascular dysfunction. This classification includes not only the causes and mechanisms of development of accommodation disorders, but also includes a differentiated approach in treatment of habitual accommodative excess.
Reasons for the Increase and Ways to Reduce the Frequency of Cesarean Sections in Modern Obstetrics
Authors: Baev Oleg R.
Published: December 2024

The progressive increase in the number of cesarean sections, which is not accompanied by a decrease in the perinatal mortality rate, is an urgent problem not only in obstetrics, but in the health care system in general. The frequency of operative delivery is influenced by both medical and non-medical factors. Moreover, the frequency varies across regions of the world and countries with different levels of economic development. At the present stage, the increase in the number of surgical deliveries in developed countries is due to changes in population health indicators (age, morbidity). The attention of WHO and associations of obstetricians and gynecologists is drawn to the development of measures to stabilize and reduce the frequency of cesarean sections. However, the proposed measures to reduce it through administration in obstetric hospitals and non-medical measures do not have an effect. There is evidence of an increase in the incidence of complications for the mother and fetus when indications for cesarean section are limited. A safe reduction in the frequency of caesarean sections is possible only with an integrated approach, including new solutions that improve the quality of medical care in general (social measures to support families, optimization of medical processes, introduction of decision support systems, improvement of medical technologies for pregnancy and childbirth).

Authors: SOLIANYK A. A. , SHELESTOVA A. M. , KORZHYK N. A. , BORYSOVA A. O.
Published: December 2024

Objective. The aim of the study is to develop conceptual foundations for medialization as the most effective communication strategy for university libraries. The unique experience of analytical and marketing practices in scientific libraries of universities enables them to effectively monitor the impact of their official accounts on social networks and messaging platforms, thereby contributing to the formation of their unique image. Methods. Employed methods include observation, comparison, Internet marketing, content analysis of official university websites, references to official web representations on social networks (messengers), statistical and mathematical methods, as well as systemic and socio-communicative approaches. Results. The study clarified the extent of Kharkiv universities’ incorporation into the global communication space through their web presence activity on various social networks/messengers. Rankings for the popularity of social networks/messengers (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Telegram) among Kharkiv universities, as well as for their Telegram channels based on the number of subscribers were developed. Conclusions. University libraries possess powerful analytical potential for enhancing the effectiveness of universities’ branding campaigns through medialization – effective communication activities on social networks/messengers. Systematic use of web analytics tools to monitor the effectiveness of communication strategies and adapt content according to subscribers’ interests can improve the quality of communication and marketing activities in higher education institutions.

Authors: TIURKEDZHY N. S. , MARINA O. YU. , DAVYDOVA I. O. , MARIN S. O.
Published: December 2024

Objective. The article examines the global experience of digital inclusion and the state of the creation of information spaces for people with special needs in leading document and information institutions of society. Methods. The research was conducted based on content analysis of 20 sites of US academic libraries and webometric analysis of 41 sites of Ukrainian document and information structures (libraries, archives, and museums) using the "Web Accessibility Checker" functionality. Monitoring of library sites was carried out during May 2024. Results. The conducted analysis proved that today digital inclusion in document and information institutions of libraries in the USA, Great Britain, and France is aimed at overcoming the lack of information resources for different groups of users, introducing computers with special software and assistive technologies for people with disabilities, and creating comfortable information space. This activity is only a desirable prospect for Ukraine's libraries, although work in this direction is unfolding. Conclusions. A conclusion was made regarding the importance of implementing assistive technologies in document and information structures and ensuring comfortable access to information for various categories of users, including those with special educational needs and people with disabilities. The development of digital inclusion and the creation of specialized products and services for special users is a strategic direction of the development of document and information institutions. Libraries are leaders in implementing and using assistive technologies among various document and information institutions. Compared to museums and archives, they have the greatest experience in serving users with disabilities and the most powerful potential for developing social inclusion and embodying diversity in the digital environment.
Ukrainian Databases as a Competitive Alternative to International Databases
Authors: TSIURA M. A.
Published: December 2024

Objective. To assess the potential of modern Ukrainian open-access databases initiated by national or technical libraries as a viable alternative to international commercial and open databases for retrieving metadata on periodicals and their articles, including Ukrainian scholarly journals. Methods. The study involved the analysis of databases such as Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, OpenAlex, "Scientific Periodicals of Ukraine" (developed by the Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine), "Scientific Periodicals of Ukraine" (developed by the Association of Users of Ukrainian Research and Academic Network), Open Ukrainian Citation Index, Ukrainian Research Information System, and "Ukrainian Scientific Periodicals." A tabular method (three comparative tables were developed), analytical methods (quantitative and qualitative analysis), and statistical methods were applied. Results. It was found that the completeness of metadata representation varies depending on the resource. Commercial databases like Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection offer the most comprehensive metadata, while Ukrainian resources provide unique data relevant to Ukraine, including information on state registration, knowledge categories, and specializations aligned with Ukrainian regulatory documents. Conclusions. Ukrainian databases developed by national or technical libraries are continuously improving and have the potential to serve as an effective alternative to international commercial databases due to their free access, unique data, and extensive coverage of national scholarly periodicals. Although they cannot fully replace databases like Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection, their combined use holds promise. Given the challenges related to the high subscription costs and content quality in commercial databases, Ukrainian resources have the potential for further development within the global movement towards open science.
Accessibility of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Library for Students with Disabilities: An Evaluation
Authors: MARWIYAH MARWIYAH , ZAIN LABIBAH , CHASANAWATI ASRI YUNA , KHOTIMAH KHUSNUL
Published: December 2024

Objective. This research aims to identify the accessibility of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Library for users with disabilities to uncover the gap between the standard of library services for people with disabilities and the condition of the library to support an accessible environment. Methods. This research applies qualitative methods to explore the accessibility of library services for users with disabilities using the IFLA checklist, a standard for providing library services for people with disabilities consisting of 3 main areas; physical access, media format, and service and communication. Results. UIN Sunan Kalijaga Library has met the most of criteria for providing services for users with disabilities. Physical access covering the area outside the library, entry to the library and access to library collections and services, is largely in accordance with the standard. However, the absence of an elevator prevents users with wheelchairs from accessing to upper floor in which the library collections are stored which means that access to library collections is hindered. To address this problem, the library provides the Difable Corner, a department for users of all types of disabilities. The research also found that for library collections, the library provides more for the blind, while for the deaf it is still not maximized. Therefore, the library, in collaboration with the Center for Disabilities Service provides volunteers to students for whom inclusion requirements have not yet been met. Conclusion. Being under the parent institution that promotes inclusive value requires UIN Sunan Kalijaga Library to provide an inclusive environment that welcomes all users regardless of their abilities. The library has made some effort to fulfill the standards for providing a library for the disabled. The gap between ideal standards and real conditions in the library related to accessibility for the disabled can be taken into consideration to improve inclusive-based library services.
Impact of Information Disorders in Librarians’ Community
Authors: YAP J. M. , HAJDU BARAT A. , KISZL P.
Published: December 2024

Objective. Librarians' role is crucial in combating information disorders. Their ability to identify false information is a core professional competency. As librarians refine their professional identities, they also cultivate a robust knowledge practice. This paper delves into the impact of information disorders on the librarian community. Methods. A group of Filipino public librarians were interviewed to understand the librarians' perceptions of the severity and impact of information disorders on their communities. Results. After careful analysis of qualitative data, five themes emerged including credibility threat, detrimental information, unfounded claims, manipulation of information, and promotion of truthful information. Conclusions. Information disorders pose a serious threat to librarians and the public. Malicious actors exploit these to manipulate public opinion, leading to fraud and false expertise. Librarians can counter these threats by sharing credible resources. They can also address the crisis of credibility by sharing expert advice and advocating for the value of accurate information
Developing a Sense of Community in the Activities of the University Library of Ukraine in Wartime (on the Example of the Scientific Library of USUST)
Authors: KOLESNYKOVA T. O. , DEMIDKO M. M.
Published: December 2024

Objective. The authors believe that during the crisis of the highest level, associated with the threat to human life and health, the socio-cultural aspects of the activities of libraries of higher education institutions are important for different countries and require more detailed study. The purpose of the paper is to highlight the practices of developing a sense of community in the socio-cultural activities of a university library in Ukraine in wartime (on the example of the Scientific library of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies). Methods. The article is based on self-reflection, direct experiences and crisis experience of the authors in organising and conducting library leisure activities for students at the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies (USUST) (Dnipro, Ukraine). The work uses a combination of research approaches and methods: to determine the state of development of the scientific problem, the author used a source search and analysis of relevant publications on the topic of the study; a comparative approach – to compare the similarities and differences in the main functions of university libraries in Ukraine and abroad; the method of observation – to determine the features of various library activities aimed at developing a sense of community among students. Results. The crisis experience of wartime librarians demonstrates the ability to quickly replace (despite narrow specialisation in peacetime) and unite colleagues, the ability to integrate cultural and social activities into a single process, simultaneous involvement in various types and forms of professional activities aimed at communities of students, teachers, researchers, and the public. The article presents a fairly wide landscape of leisure practices in the socio-cultural work of the university library of USUST in the frontline city of Dnipro, which allows students, teachers and their children to escape from the already everyday and familiar danger. Librarians help students to restore a sense of unity, cohesion, community, a sense of “I am not alone” and “together we are many”, even when they are often physically separated. Conclusions. Community has become a phenomenon that represents Ukrainian spirituality, humanity, dignity and resilience. The activities of university libraries aimed at developing community are especially important for those countries that are experiencing social and political transformations as a result of military conflicts.
University Libraries on the Path to Enhancing Equity, Diversity, Accessibility, Inclusion
Authors: KOLESNYKOVA T. O.
Published: December 2024

In this issue, our distinguished authors share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about the role of higher education institution (HEI) libraries in promoting equality, diversity, accessibility, and inclusion in today's society. Conversations around this topic are not a new focus in HEI libraries. Librarians create and strive for improvement in developing a comfortable and welcoming environment (online and offline) for all students, faculty and staff. Librarians care about the diversity and accessibility of collections and services. But in this time of uncertainty, university communities want answers to general or ‘point’ questions about library support for vulnerable university communities (especially students with disabilities) and local communities. The articles pay special attention to the consideration of practices, tasks and strategies for the near future, provided by the Ukrainian authors as their selfreflection, direct experience of working in wartime, i.e. a crisis of the highest level, involving a threat to human life and health.
REDUCING GRAPHS BY LIFTING ROTATIONS OF EDGES TO SPLITTABLE GRAPHS
Authors: Baransky Vitaly , Zuev Valentin , Senchonok Tatiana
Published: December 2024

A graph \(G\) is splittable if its set of vertices can be represented as the union of a clique and a coclique. We will call a graph \(H\) a splittable ancestor of a graph \(G\) if the graph \(G\) is reducible to the graph \(H\) using some sequential lifting rotations of edges and \(H\) is a splittable graph. A  splittable \(r\)-ancestor of \(G\) we will call its splittable ancestor whose Durfey rank is \(r\). Let us set \(s = ({1}/{2}) (\mathrm{sum}\,\mathrm{tl}(\lambda) - \mathrm{sum}\,\mathrm{hd}(\lambda))\), where \(\mathrm{hd}(\lambda)\) and \(\mathrm{tl}(\lambda)\) are the head and the tail of a partition \(\lambda\). The main goal of this work is to prove that any graph \(G\) of Durfey rank \(r\) is reducible by \(s\) successive lifting rotations of edges to a splittable \(r\)-ancestor \(H\) and \(s\) is the smallest non-negative integer with this property. Note that the degree partition \(\mathrm{dpt}(G)\) of the graph \(G\) can be obtained from the degree partition \(\mathrm{dpt}(H)\) of the splittable \(r\)-ancestor \(H\) using a sequence of \(s\) elementary transformations of the first type. The obtained results provide new opportunities for investigating the set of all realizations of a given graphical partition using splittable graphs.
GRAPHICAL PROPERTIES OF CLUSTERED GRAPHS
Authors: Gurunathan Sambanthan , Yogalakshmi Thangaraj
Published: December 2024

Clustering is a strategy for discovering homogeneous clusters in heterogeneous data sets based on comparable structures or properties. The number of nodes or links that must fail for a network to be divided into two or more sub-networks is known as connectivity. In addition to being a metric of network dependability, connectivity also serves as an indicator of performance. The Euler graph can represent almost any issue involving a discrete arrangement of objects. It can be analyzed using the recent field of mathematics called graph theory. This paper discusses the properties of clustered networks like connectivity and chromaticity. Further, the structure of the antipodal graph in the clustered network has been explored.

Published: December 2024

In this paper, we prove certain Littlewood–Tauberian theorems for general matrix summability method by imposing the Tauberian conditions such as slow oscillation of usual as well as matrix generated sequence, and the De la Vallée Poussin means of real sequences. Moreover, we demonstrate \((\bar{N},p_{n})\) and \((C,1)\) – summability methods as the generalizations of our proposed general matrix method and establish an equivalence relation connecting them. Finally, we draw several remarks in view of the generalizations of some existing well-known results based on our results.
INTERPOLATION WITH MINIMUM VALUE OF \(L_{2}\)-NORM OF DIFFERENTIAL OPERATOR
Authors: Novikov Sergey I.
Published: December 2024

For the class of bounded in \(l_{2}\)-norm interpolated data, we consider a problem of interpolation on a finite interval  \([a,b]\subset\mathbb{R}\) with minimal value of the \(L_{2}\)-norm of a differential operator applied to interpolants. Interpolation is performed at knots of an arbitrary \(N\)-point mesh \(\Delta_{N}:\ a\leq x_{1}<x_{2}<\cdots <x_{N}\leq b\). The extremal function is the interpolating natural \({\cal L}\)-spline for an arbitrary fixed set of interpolated data. For some differential operators with constant real coefficients, it is proved that on the class of bounded in \(l_{2}\)-norm interpolated data, the minimal value of the \(L_{2}\)-norm of the differential operator on the interpolants is represented through the largest eigenvalue of the matrix of a certain quadratic form.
Essay on Comparative Demononymy: The “Wild People” of Central and Western Europe
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Neklyudov Sergei Yu. ,   Presidential Academy of National Economy
Published: December 2024

In certain traditions of lower mythology, alongside depictions of guardian spirits, protectors of the natural landscape (including flora, fauna, elemental forces, diseases, and spheres of activity) there is mention of an anthropomorphic figure commonly referred to as the “wild man.” This being is believed to inhabit areas untouched by human development, occasionally encountering nearby populations. According to local traditions, the “wild man” is described as a creature of flesh and blood, distinct from all categories of “spirits” but not entirely akin to either animals or humans. His image is found in various cultural expressions, including folklore, ancient and medieval texts, visual art, ritual practices, and performances. Although the “wild man” is known by different names across regions, these variations reflect a limited number of conceptual models, each highlighting a single dominant characteristic. Examining these models allows researchers to defi ne the semantic field in which this image was formed, identify specific ethnic and cultural types, reconstruct historical connections, and ultimately trace the origins and development of the concept of “wildness.” These names also possess notable onomastic potential: they may give rise to toponyms (often oronyms) associated with particular natural landmarks or lead to the “personalization” of the “wild man.” In this context, the figure may represent an outsider living beyond their community or take on the role of a mythological “guardian” of other wild creatures in the region. Thus, the “generic” designation of the wild man can evolve into a kind of proper name.
Rajac and Paradise: Names of East Serbian Villages in Folk Tradition
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Plotnikova Anna A.
Published: December 2024

The article examines folk motivations for the names of villages in the southern part of the Negotin region in Eastern Serbia, exploring their historical context and legends about local heroes. The first section analyses the onomastic elements within these legends. This is followed by an analysis of the perception of the name of the central village, Rajac, by contemporary speakers of the local dialect. The final section considers the narratives concerning visions and dreams associated with the imagery of paradise, continuing the folk interpretations of this oikonym. The findings are based on the author’s fieldwork conducted during expeditions in 2023 and 2024. The region studied forms part of a wine-producing area that was under Ottoman rule for an extended period. Consequently, many folk stories explaining the origin of village names are connected with local resistance to the Ottomans and tales of heroes (including the voivode Veljko) whose adventures often involved the consumption of alcoholic beverages. These narratives frequently take on a humorous tone, especially when wine and winemaking are central to the stories. The interpretations of village names vary among informants from different ethnic groups and neighboring villages, which often compete in their winemaking traditions. The name of Rajac, in particular, is widely understood as meaning “paradise corner.” Scholarly explanations of this toponym either partially align with this modern interpretation or suggest links to a reconstructed Slavic cultural concept of paradise as a space associated with water.
A New Historiographical Path
Authors: Cascales Raquel
Published: December 2024

This article proposes Arthur Danto’s ‘analytical narrativism,’ and his conceptualization of history as representation, as an unexplored path which can be an alternative to the development of postnarrativism from Hayden White’s ‘figurative realism.’ Danto’s historiographic can shed some light on postnarrativism and on the present-day dilemmas which cloud the academic debates around the writing of history. The article also highlights the need for interdisciplinary dialogue.
Narrar tudo aquilo que está abaixo do Céu
Authors: Pinto Otávio Luiz Vieira
Published: December 2024

Este artigo objetiva discutir o papel definidor do conceito de “Céu”, ou tiān 天, na estruturação de uma epistemologia historiográfica chinesa, especialmente durante o período aqui entendido como pré Moderno – ou seja, anterior às alterações políticas, sociais e culturais que marcaram o Qīng 清 Tardio e o início do período republicano. Essa análise parte das apreciações metodológicas de Nicola di Cosmo, Chenshan Tian e Huaiqi Wu, que apontam para a íntima relação entre teorias políticas gestadas ainda no período Zhōu 周 e a escrita da História, de forma que se pode argumentar pelo caráter relativamente pragmático do registro e interpretação do passado. Essa perspectiva será entendida em variada produção historiográfica chinesa, como o Shǐjì 史記 de Sīmǎ Qiān 司馬迁 e o Shˇıtōng 史通 de Liú Zhījī 刘知几. Conclui-se que a ideia de tiān atua como principal elemento de coesão entre passado e presente, garantindo assim a função política e intelectual da historiografia.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the surface morphology of 51CrV4 and 55Cr3 spring steels after undergoing tempering and testing at various temperatures, with a focus on dynamic fracture behavior. For this purpose, 51CrV4 and 55Cr3 spring steel samples were normalized at 870°C for 30 minutes for the same initial microstructure. Then, samples were austenitized at 870°C for 30 minutes and rapidly quenched in oil following tempering at 300°C-525°C range for 2 hours. Tensile tests at room temperature were performed to identify tensile properties, especially percent elongation values. Charpy V notched impact tests were carried out at 40, 0, room temperature, and +80°C testing temperatures to examine the fracture surface morphology of steels according to heat treatment procedures and testing (environmental) temperature. The fracture surfaces were examined by micro and macro analysis, respectively achieved by a digital camera and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mix mode (ductile and brittle) fracture (quasi-cleavage type) was detected for all quenched and tempered steels. Increasing tempering and testing temperatures resulted in more ductile fractures with many dimple formations and fewer secondary cracks.
Recasting agent exclusivity in passive nominals
Authors: Garcia-Pardo Alfredo
Published: December 2024

This paper studies the thematic restrictions on by-phrases in passive nominals, focusing on Spanish. I argue that Spanish passive nominals are not subject to the agent exclusivity effect, as such nominals can have by-phrases introducing experiencers and possessors. The real requirement, I contend, is that the external argument denotes a human entity. I further show that Romanian passive nominals behave in the same fashion. I discuss apparent cases of inanimate by-phrases in Spanish and argue that they are actually instances of causal adjuncts, and thus are not true external arguments. My account makes the prediction that, crosslinguistically, passive nominalizations do not discriminate against non-agents: rather, agent exclusivity, when found, is a side effect of the interplay between aspectual restrictions and the requirement that the external argument denote a human entity.

A fast and precise spectrophotometric approach was made to measure nickel (II) using the chromogenic compound 5-(2-bromo-5-methoxybenzylidene)-thiazolidine-2,4-dione (BMBT), which forms a yellow-brown complex when combined with other chemicals. It has been investigated whether bmbt can be used to measure Ni (II) through photometry. In the ph range of 7.1 to 8.9, the nickel (II) complex is roduced. A BMBT concentration of 510-4 mol/l is offered for the optimal complex formation and extraction. Water (as the base medium), methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, chloroform, hexane, dichloromethane, and acetonitrile were among the solvents investigated in the study. Methanol performed best among all, making it the most appropriate solvent for the experiment. At 482 nm, the complexation of nickel with bmbt reveals the strongest analytical signal. The bathochromic shift in this instance is 146 nm, which is the shift of the absorption peak to the long wavelength side. 1.75 104 is the molar absorption coefficient. Ni: BMBT = 1:2 is the component ratio in the complex. It is known that the complexing form of nickel, Ni2+, removes one hydrogen atom from a BMBT molecule. The complex's structure was investigated by empoying thermogravimetry and infrared spectroscopy. The research demonstrated that a number of metal ions, containing Fe(III), Cu(II), Mo(VI), Se(IV), Pt(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), and Pd(II), as well as form colored complexes when bmbt is used as a chromogenic reagent. The presence of masking agents or a change in the solution's ph considerably improves the accuracy of nickel measurement in the presence of these metal ions.at nickel concentrations of 0.3–13 g/ml, the fundamental rule of light absorption is observed. By utilizing masking agents, adjusting the medium's pH, or using extraction, the disruptive influence of irrelevant ions is removed. Methods for figuring out the amount of nickel in different things, like bottom deposits, wastewater, and steels, have been created based on the discoveries of a spectrophotometric analysis of the nickel (II) complex with BMBT.

The issues of estimating systematic errors in setting the angular position of the apparent radiation center of a radar object simulated by a two-point model when using antennas with difference radiation patterns are considered. The dependence of the angular error on the model parameters, such as the spacing of the emitters, the expected position of the apparent center of radiation and the coefficients of the antenna radiation pattern approximation, is established. The angular error of the bearing is determined by including it in the direction finding characteristic of the antenna as a correction to the angular position with further analytical expression. Calculations were performed for the sum and difference directional diagrams, on the basis of which the error values were compared. The ratio of the approximation coefficients for the sum and difference radiation patterns of the antenna is determined. The obtained analytical results can be used in solving applied problems related to the development of matrix simulators and forecasting the accuracy characteristics of simulation complexes.
