Governance of local government and foreign direct investment - A study for Lam Dong province
Authors:   University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNUHCM, Nguyễn Hoàng Thanh
Published: June 2023

A foreign enterprise's decision with respect to investing in a certain locality dramatically depends on factors that can help the enterprise increase profits and grow. One of the existing factors that cannot be ignored is the ``hand'' of state agencies. This paper sheds light on the impact of governance on foreign direct investment activities in the locality. The study deploys the quantitative method through a questionnaire survey to all foreign-invested enterprises in Lam Dong province. Regression analysis results from 54 opinions of business managers indicate that governance activities have an important influence on the investment of enterprises. These positive effects are attributed to two main factors called ``conditions on government apparatus'' and ``conditions on civil servants''. These factors comprise respectively transparency, the quality of administrative procedures, intervention from policy stability, the quality of civil servants, accountability, and political will of the entire local government system. This study supports the ``tectonic'' thinking of state agencies in managing foreign investment activities. With this result, the study not only contributes an important part to the theory of foreign direct investment in developing countries with the role of local tectonic government but also offers practical value in terms of promoting governments to regulate governance manners to achieve optimal efficiency.

Published: June 2023

It is a given that many people are concerned about their financial situations. Households in the agricultural areas, in particular, are highly concerned, as the agriculture sector faces several hazards owing to natural and environmental causes. As a result, academics are constantly interested in discovering the factors that influence household income. The goal of this study is to analyze whether social capital is a significant factor in increasing household income. Unlike earlier research, this paper examines the factors that influence family income using both economic and social theories. Research scales and models are provided based on Putnam's social capital theory and the findings of prior investigations. The study model comprises 19 observed variables, seven of which are connected to individual and household characteristics, and twelve of which represent the household's social capital. In Long An province of Dong Thap Muoi region, data was collected from 701 families. The findings of data analysis using the multivariate regression (OLS) approach reveal that social capital is certainly one of the major variables that impact household income. Based on the findings of data analysis, the study makes a number of recommendations to help boost household income through building social capital.

The influence of aggressive environments on the operational characteristics of metal structures of wheeled vehicles was investigated. It has been established that, in comparison with their dry concentrates, solutions of mineral fertilizers nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer and ammonium sulfate cause local corrosion damage not only to ordinary structural steels, but also to alloyed steels (Steel 25, Steel 45, Steel 1X13). At the same time, the rate of corrosion reaches 0.29...0.33 mm/year, which is up to 3 times higher than the rate of corrosion in rainwater. The specified metal materials have the highest rate of corrosion propagation during the first day, then the intensity of corrosion decreases to values equivalent to the rate of corrosion propagation in rainwater. Stationary potentials of steels have the largest negative value for ammonium sulfate solutions, and corrosion currents, in turn, in nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer solutions.

Authors:   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Aulin Viktor , Holub Dmytro ,   Central Ukrainian National Technical University
Published: June 2023

The four-link mechanism of the car's mechatronic windshield cleaning system is substantiated using different ratios of links and analysis of their kinematic and dynamic characteristics. A mathematical model of the glass cleaning mechanism in the Matlab/Simulink environment is presented and its kinematic synthesis is carried out. A mathematical model of the movement of the brush on the glass was developed for the case of close to uniform pressure distribution along the length of the brush, taking into account the unevenness of the law of movement associated with the operation of the transmission mechanism. The influence of the material properties of the rubber element on the quality of glass cleaning and the obtained values of the values characterizing the elastic and dissipative properties of the neck in the limit modes of the system are considered. The possibility of regeneration self-oscillations is shown when the dissipative properties of the neck are reduced as a result of wear or an aggressive environment. The processes of dry friction and hydraulic movement resistance occurring in the system are clarified, the limits of possible visually noticeable self-oscillations depending on the parameters of the friction mode and system operation are shown. It was found that the presence in the system of the possibility of regenerative self-oscillations in critical operating modes requires the introduction of micro-oscillations into the law of movement of the brush on the glass, which can effectively reduce the amplitudes of these self-oscillations. Analytical dependencies are proposed for calculating the parameters of the software, which implements the management of the dynamic characteristics of the system by superimposing the law of motion of micro-oscillations. The necessary hardware and software requirements for the controller are shown, as well as the possibility of saving the windshield wiper control unit as a functional unit of the mechatronic system for ensuring the comfort of movement.

The use of new reserves of the process of grinding the flat surfaces of parts allows to significantly increase the productivity of processing, reduce the uneven wear of the wheel profile and increase the accuracy and quality of the processed surfaces, therefore, it is an urgent scientific problem, the solution of which is of important national economic importance. The analysis of research and publications showed the importance of the development and implementation of grinding technologies with crossed axes of grinding wheels and workpieces, for which a special profile adjustment of the wheel is carried out, which makes it possible to obtain an area for removing the rough allowance and a calibration area on the surface of the wheel. At the same time, the entire allowance is cut in the area adjacent to the calibration area. The calibration section at the entrance of the parts to the processing area does not participate in cutting the allowance, has high stability and at the exit forms the final accuracy of the end surfaces. The paper describes the calibration area of the tool end when it is profiled on a machine with a diamond pencil using the transformation matrices of coordinate systems that model movements and rotations along and around the coordinate axes, the optimal length of the calibration area and the ratio of the orientation angles of the grinding wheels in the horizontal and vertical planes are proposed, which give the best results in terms of accuracy.

During operation, the hinge connections of mine supports practically stop rotating. This is due to the fact that, as a result of the aggressive mine water and strong dustiness, the diametrical clearance of 1-2 mm between the axis and the bushing is tightly filled with oxides and coal dust, especially in the connections of the base. This circumstance leads to the fact that the axes (pins) in the hinges lose their mobility and require significant effort for their dismantling. To repair the mechanized mine support, it is necessary to dismantle the hinge connections, which are formed by axes and holes in levers (traverses), base ears, and overlaps. Currently, the dismantling of hinge connections of mine supports is carried out using manual impact tools. This operation is extremely labor-intensive, physically heavy, and belongs to hazardous work. The goal of the study is to improve the working conditions of the operator during the dismantling process of axes in hinge connections of mine supports by using a mechanized specialized hydraulic press. To achieve the set goal, the following tasks must be solved: to determine the maximum permissible disassembly force of the axes, taking into account the strength of the load-bearing structure elements; to develop a concept of a mechanized hydraulic press, including the composition of the installation, the general technical description, the principle of operation, the kinematic scheme, and the tool. Studies have been carried out on the deformation modeling of mine support elements under load using the SOLIDWORKS Simulation calculation module to determine the maximum permissible disassembly force of the axes. It has been shown that the disassembly load of the shaft support axis with a force of more than 1000 kN leads to the loss of the structural strength reserve, which is unacceptable. An effective technology for dismantling the axes of a mechanized mine support has been proposed. A concept of an original specialized hydraulic press "Kit-100" for dismantling axes has been developed, which allows replacing the physically heavy and dangerous work of the operator with a lighter, mechanized process.

The article presents methods of customs clearance of goods in wartime. The tasks of accounting for the sale of export and import goods and settlements with foreign buyers are: control over the movement of goods; constant monitoring of the timely conclusion and fulfillment of the terms of foreign trade contracts; control over the correct customs clearance of export operations; determining the expediency of independent customs clearance of export and import of goods by the exporting enterprise. The development of foreign economic activity gives enterprises the opportunity to use the advantages of international production cooperation, which increases the efficiency of their functioning. In connection with this, there is now an objective need to develop methodical approaches to assessing the effectiveness of export-import operations, which are the basis of foreign economic activity. The proposed method of analysis of export and import operations and their impact on the financial condition of the enterprise is of practical interest for enterprises. On the basis of the analysis of the current legislation of Ukraine on matters of state customs affairs, specific proposals were made for the development of a single balanced approach to law-making and law enforcement in the sphere of state customs affairs, and a scientifically based holistic administrative-legal concept of implementation of state customs affairs was developed. Prospects for further scientific research should be based on the monitoring of current legislation in the context of customs clearance of goods and may relate to the construction of algorithms for interaction with customs procedures. Based on the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine on some issues of state customs affairs, specific customs proposals were made to develop a unified balanced approach to law-making and law enforcement in the field of state customs affairs.

The article examines the logistics of the transportation of pharmaceuticals, as well as the study of current data and a comparison of the volume of transportation of drugs in Ukraine with other countries. The volume of transportation, warehouse logistics and the cost structure of logistics services is considered. The volume of transportation of drugs for 2022 is analyzed, modern methods and innovative technologies are described transportation in logistics. The use of such technologies makes it possible to reduce logistics costs and increase the efficiency of logistics processes. Thus, the logistical justification of decisions in the field of road transport of medicines is an important element of the logistics system. When solving this problem, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of logistics in the field of pharmaceuticals, as well as apply innovative technologies and methods that ensure the efficient functioning of the supply and transportation chain. In addition, compared to Ukraine, European countries have a more developed logistics infrastructure that ensures fast and efficient delivery of medicines. For example, in 2022, the total length of highways in Germany was 231,000 km, in France - 1.057 million km, and in Poland - 422,000 km. Compared to these countries, the length of Ukrainian roads is only 169.6 thousand km, of which 28% are public roads. This leads to difficulties in transporting goods, including medicines, which can deteriorate during long-term delivery.

The article examines the dynamics of international trade, the investment attractiveness of markets, the development of logistics infrastructure, the principles of choosing a methodology for evaluating the development of logistics systems by region. The index of the development of the logistics market proposed by the International Financial Group "Agility", which has been successfully used for more than five years, was analyzed. The Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index reflects the degree of attractiveness of the logistics market for investments, and the level of investment attractiveness is assessed by a set of indicators: the development of transport communications, magnitude and dynamics of development, market compatibility. The ranking of countries according to the Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index 2023 was analyzed, including with details. It was determined that, in these difficult conditions in the domestic market, processes of transformation of logistics firms into logistics operators working with the provision of a complex of logistics services are taking place, as well as the entry of some powerful logistics operators into the market, which will contribute to the strengthening of competition and the expansion of the portfolio of offers. A significant trend is the transformation of logistics firms into logistics operators. It was concluded that there is practically no competition between retailers in Ukraine, trade networks transfer logistics functions to suppliers of goods, manufacturers compete fiercely in matters of their own presence in trade networks, which increases competition between enterprises - manufacturers and distributors, increasing the level of logistics service.The use of the services of 3PL providers by domestic enterprises with the delegation of the functions of managing supply chains and inventory to operators will be expedient under the conditions of stable markets as a significant competitive advantage, which will consist in reducing costs by outsourcing logistics as a non-core function, excluding distributors. The activity of 3PL providers is determined, conceptually, by the search for a supplier and a consumer with the transfer of supply chain management directly to the 3PL operator, who at the same time is forced to compete with a pure distributor as commercial intermediaries in the commodity market. Conversely, a distributor with developed stable sales technologies through the development of logistics functions will have advantages and the opportunity to compete in the provision of 3PL services.

Sheet glass is used in the creation of transparent constructions of building structures, for glazing of airplanes, helicopters, boats, as a structural material for instrument and aggregate construction, production of technical products in mechanical engineering. Structures made of sheet glass include fastening devices with sealing elements. Calculations of such structures cause difficulties, which are associated with the imperfection of their mathematical models. For the preliminary selection of the main parameters of the newly developed structures, it is advisable to use calculation software complexes with the preliminary development of the method of choosing the structure of fixing the glass sheet, taking into account the main sealing parameters according to the results of the study of the structure model. The nature of the stress state of the plate depends mainly on the type of load and the nature of its distribution, the ratio of the long and short sides to the thickness of the sheet glass, as well as the clamping parameters. The assessment of the stress-strain state of the structure is carried out according to the criteria of strength, rigidity and based on the study of dynamic characteristics. The calculations are reduced to justifying the choice of structural parameters of sheet glass, caliper and rubber sealing material, taking into account the stress-deformed state of the structure, operational, structural requirements and economic indicators. The paper presents a methodology for substantiating the selection of the parameters of a transparent structure, which includes a rectangular glass plate, elastic sealing and rigid frames based on model research in the SOLIDWORKS PC environment. It is shown that the parameters of fixing the sheet glass, including the sealing characteristics, significantly affect the mechanical properties of the structure. The developed model makes it possible to estimate the stress-deformed state of sheet glass and the dynamic properties of the structure depending on the parameters of the elastic seal.

Published: June 2023

The work is devoted to the adaptation of the planar approximation method to determine the characteristic values of snow cover weight and wind pressure at a given design point based on the data of a local network of weather stations. Important elements of the research are the provision of specified reserves for the determination of characteristic values, as well as the analysis of the possibility of using a single equation for the entire territory of each of the administrative regions of Ukraine. The initial data are characteristic values of snow cover weight and maximum wind pressure with a recurrence period of 50 years at 171 plain weather stations of Ukraine. According to the data of the weather stations of the region, the equation of the Euclidean plane is established by the method of least squares, which generally reflects the trend of territorial changes in the characteristic value of the load. Calculations for three project points from different geographical regions of Ukraine showed that the equations of the approximating Euclidean plane should be made taking into account the data of the local network of weather stations located within a radius of 100...150 km from the project point. Based on the obtained equation and the geographical coordinates of the design point, the desired characteristic value of the load is calculated. The necessary reserves in determining the characteristic values of the loads are provided taking into account the statistical distribution of the data of individual weather stations relative to the obtained Euclidean plane. In order to substantiate the possibility of describing the trends of territorial changes in the characteristic values of snow and wind loads within the entire territory of the administrative region with a single equation of the Euclidean plane, calculations were made for five regions of Ukraine. The deviations obtained by this equation of the characteristic values of the loads from the actual data of individual weather stations are basically close to the similar deviations of the territorial zoning maps of the current DBN B.1.2-2:2006 "Loads and influences". The results of the study confirmed the possibility of determining the characteristic values of climatic loads at a given geographic (design) point with a given level of security according to the equation of the Euclidean plane, which was established by the method of least squares based on the data of the local network of weather stations in the region. In most cases, this equation can be the same for the entire territory of the administrative region. The division of the territory of the region into parts with significantly different climatic conditions contributes to the reduction of probable errors in determining the characteristic values of loads.

This article analyzes the international relations of Ukraine during the national liberation struggle of 1917-1918. The prerequisites for the intensification of Ukrainian-German contacts at the end of the First World War are studied. The peculiarities of contacts between Germany and Ukrainian governments are analyzed, the significant influence of German policy in the context of the formation and development of Ukrainian state-building processes is indicated. The participation of the Ukrainian delegation at the Brest-Litovsk negotiations and the conclusion of a peace treaty with the Central Powers are characterized. The methodology is based on the principle of historicism and scientificity. The method of comparative analysis, retrospective, historical-typological, was used. Scientific novely. The article examines the economic and political components in the system of Ukrainian-German bilateral relations, which significantly influenced the structure of the foreign policy course of the official UNR and Germany, and also became the basis for the conclusion of international agreements. The active work of Ukrainian diplomacy and trade and economic missions abroad was studied, which was aimed at ensuring the development of the Ukrainian economy and the needs of the war for independencе. Conclusions. It has been proven that the signing of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, which certified the international recognition of the state of the Ukrainian People’s Republic, can be called a significant result of the formation of interstate Ukrainian-German relations. It is shown that Ukrainian-German relations influenced further interstate military-political and diplomatic relations. The most important achievement of Ukraine at that time was the preservation of state independence, which made it possible to continue national liberation struggles in the future. In general, conducting such a study is appropriate not only in the context of the history of Germany and Ukraine, but also in the context of world history, since the evolution of Ukrainian-German relations during this period largely depended on the development of events in the international arena.
An Interpretive Study on the Public's Preference for the Fireplace Videos
Authors:   Academic Association of Global Cultural Contents, Kim Kihong
Published: June 2023

This study focuses on the popular video content of fireplace videos that have gained popularity on platforms such as YouTube over the past few years. As most popular videos on video platforms have a plot and even very short videos contain narrative elements such as events or twists, it is noteworthy that monotonous fireplace videos without a story have gained such widespread popularity. This study attempts a critical analysis of the phenomenon by linking the online reproduction of fireplace videos with the trendy term “hitting mung” which has received significant attention from the public.
Starting from the discourse on “daydreaming” being linked to psychological effects and being presented as the purpose of the production and distribution of videos, previous research on the psychological effects of campfire videos was explored. Then, to specialize in “hitting mung” among various “daydreaming” contents, the unique media history of “hitting mung” videos and the cultural context of Western households were examined. In addition, by examining Gaston Bachelard's discussion of the imagery of fire in relation to daydreaming, material imagination, relaxation, and healing, the study interpreted the psychology of modern people who prefer “hitting mung” videos. The study presents a content critique that gives meaning to the imagery of fire as a cultural archetype through an interpretive analysis of the epistemo- logical relationship between “fire” and “hitting mung”.
Karmel Daoud's Meursault Investigation: Language and Identity of Multicultural Subjects
Authors:   Academic Association of Global Cultural Contents, Cho Mijeung , Woods Great Root
Published: June 2023

This study examines the novel Meursault Investigation by Algerian author Kamel Daoud, focusing on the language and identity of multicultural subjects. Meursault Investigation reinterprets Albert Camus' classic French novel “The Stranger” from the perspective of an unknown Algerian man called “Arab” who was killed by the main character Meursault. The novel deals with the tools of colonialism, identity and oppression in Algeria during the French occupation. Daoud argues that French, imposed on colonial Algerians, has become a tool of oppression, and that Algerians must regain their language in order to claim their cultural and ethnic identity. It is also a strong criticism of French colonialism and its continued influence on Algeria, and raises important questions about language and identity related to other post- colonial societies as well as Algeria.
Algeria's historical background, which had been under long colonial rule, also had a profound influence on literature, resulting in a triple structure of the literary expression language of Arabic, French, and Berber. Under French colonial rule, writers had no choice of language due to the implementation of French language assimilation policies. French was a forced language and a language of oppression. So why did Kamel Daoud choose French, the language of the enemy, to write his work in 2014, 70 years after Kamel Daoud's Stranger was published? Daoud has two reasons for choosing French, the language of the enemy, as an expression tool for literary works. First, it is to restore the name of ‘Arab’ (‘Moussa’) that was not even given a name under colonial rule. This means the restoration of national identity. Second, after his brother's death, he had to represent the mother's voice, who did not possess the ruler's language, and his eyes were always separated from the mother's delusion and protected himself. This is reminiscent of Algeria, which remains under French influence, and means separation and independence from it. For Dowd, French, the language of the colonial state, is the language of recovery, the language of independence, the language of creation and order, and the language of subversion that summons past situations and events.
In Daoud's work, the unknown “Arab” and “Harun” are multicultural subjects of the times. Multiculturalism has be- come a downgraded expression of our society for strangers and migrants. Rather than accepting diversity that is distinct from mainstream Koreans, we evaluate them from the perspective of discrimination and exclusion. Why should they be called “multicultural” that excludes personal identity, including their own ethnicity, historicality, and cultural diversity? Since the situation of “Arabians” and “Moussa” in Kamel Daoud's work resembles the existence of multicultural subjects coexisting in our time, we would like to examine their language and identity, diagnose the present of multicultural sub- jects, and predict the future.

Published: June 2023

Apesar de o adenocarcinoma primário do esôfago ser uma afecção rara, sua incidência vem aumentando nos últimos anos. As hipóteses mais aceitas para explicar a etio-patogenia dessa doença são metaplasia glandular, persistência de mucosa embrionária, mucosa gástrica ectópica e degeneração de glândulas submucosas do esôfago. Sua única possibilidade de cura é através de um diagnóstico precoce, seguido de resseção dentro dos princípios oncológicos. Apresentamos um caso onde foi feito o diagnóstico precoce. A lesão era originária de degeneração maligna de glândulas esofágicas remanescentes e o seu tratamento cirúrgico foi curativo.

Nos 24 animais do grupo-controle foi injetado, por via intraperitoneal, soro fisiológico a 0,9% (20% do peso corporal) e 24 horas após realizou-se laparotomia mediana associada à ressecção de 1 cm de íleo e anastomose término-terminal com fio de seda 6-0 em plano único total com sutura contínua. Nos ratos do grupo-experimento foi administrada cisplatina (5 mglkg de peso corporal) associada a soro fisiológico a 0,9% na proporção de 20% de peso corpóreo e, após um dia, foi efetuado o mesmo procedimento cirúrgico do grupo-controle. Os animais foram sacrificados nos 79, 142e 219dias de pós-operatório. O estudo histológico com microscopia óptica evidenciou: o número de vasos/campo foi maior no grupo de ratos tratados com cisplatina (p < 0,01), e o número de fibroblastos e histiócitos em transformação (núcleos, fusiformes/campo) foi maior no controle (p < 0,01) no 79 dia de pós-operatório; o tecido de granulação e a área de necrose foram maiores nos tratados com cisplatina (p < 0,01); no 212dia de pós-operatório o número de vasos/campo foi maior no grupo controle (p < 0,01). Concluem que a cisplatina retarda a cicatrização de anastomoses do intestino delgado em ratos.

Стаття присвячена актуальній проблемі, яку розглянуто у психолого-педагогічних та мистецьких наукових розвідках. Формування творчого самовираження в майбутніх музично-педагогічних працівників засобами естрадної музики порушуються здебільшого у зв’язку з пошуком шляхів і засобів оптимізації, підвищення ефективності майбутніх фахівців у творчій діяльності. З’ясовано, що проблема розвитку творчої особистості викликає гострий інтерес у дослідників. Розв’язання її суттєве у зв’язку з тим, що головна умова прогресивного розвитку суспільства - людина, що здатна до творення. У сучасному світі необхідно від початку, з перших років життя людини закладати основи розуміння світу як такого, що динамічно змінюється, в якому особистість перебуває в стані постійного творення цього світу і самої себе. Зазначено, що серед науковців немає єдиного концептуального підходу щодо проблеми творчого самовираження майбутніх музично-педагогічних працівників, тобто визначення того універсального чинника, що забезпечує розвиток їх творчих, інтелектуальних, спеціальних здібностей. Зокрема, представники так званого діяльнісного підходу виходять із положення провідної ролі творчої діяльності у творчому самовираження майбутніх музично-педагогічних працівників; розвиток креативності залежить від характеру і структури діяльності. Інші вчені, не заперечуючи ролі діяльності у розвитку особистості, виходять із позиції провідної ролі у розвитку творчих здібностей, наявності спеціальних здібностей. Третя точка зору вчених базується на положенні суб’єктно-особистісного під- ходу, згідно з яким творчість пов’язується з діяльністю особистості, яка спрямована на її самовираження, самоактуалізаці Актуалізовано, що творче самовираження майбутніх музично-педагогічних працівників засобами естрадної музики неможливо уявити поза історією народу чи нації, до якої вона належить, оскільки людина входить у суспільство як представник певної нації через систему освіти, виховання, знайомство з музичним мистецтвом тощо. Тому ми вважаємо, що естрадний спів є дієвим засобом формування готовності до творчого самовираження майбутніх музично-педагогічних працівників, оскільки, особистість як суб’єкт творчості – це носій власне людських, тобто соціальних властивостей.
Historietas: una perspectiva tillichiana sobre la religión y la cultura
Authors: Moraes Gerson Leite de , Domingues Rebecca
Published: June 2023

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo comprender cómo los historietas, también llamados cómics, son capaces de manifestar religiosidad, tomando como perspectiva la teología de la cultura de Paul Tillich. El principal delimitador del tema propuesto está en la actitud de marginación e infantilización de las historietas, lo que las ubica en un lugar de irrelevancia para la mirada teológica. Surge entonces la pregunta: ¿qué son los cómics? ¿Son arte? ¿Cuál es su origen y desarrollo? ¿Existe una posible relación entre la teología y los cómics? ¿Cómo entiende esto la perspectiva de Paul Tillich? Para lograr esta comprensión se utilizó la metodología de revisión bibliográfica, que primero buscó narrar la historia de las historietas; y, posteriormente, relató la comprensión de religión y cultura de Tillichi, en un intento de demostrar si este elemento es capaz de proporcionar un discurso religioso digno de la mirada y el análisis de la teología. Durante esta investigación se verificó, a partir de una breve discusión sobre sus aspectos artísticos, que la historieta puede ser considerada como arte y, por lo tanto, como parte de la cultura. En segundo lugar, se encontró que para Tillich, la religión tiene un significado profundo de relación con la dirección de nuestra conciencia a lo que él llama “Incondicional”, y lo Incondicional, a su vez, puede llegar a manifestarse tanto en lo que llamamos religiones concretas, como en lo que llamamos cultura. De esta manera, la cultura se mostró como escenario de discursos religiosos que se manifiestan, especialmente, a través de la preocupación última. Esta inquietud es la que Tillich describirá como tomada por lo que nos toca incondicionalmente, y se reveló, en esta investigación, como una realidad completamente posible para las historietas, haciéndolas susceptibles de ser objeto de miradas y estudios teológicos. Así, tanto la cultura en su conjunto como el cómic -como elemento cultural- pueden identificarse como entidades conducentes a la teología, y relevantes para este campo de estudio.
