REGIONAL COOPERATION ON THE BLACK SEA: ACHIEVEMENTS, PROBLEMS, PROSPECTS
Authors: Eshba E. D.
Published: June 2021

Throughout the history The Black Sea region attracted attention of both regional states and those lying far beyond its borders . One of the main reasons for increased attention to the Black Sea coast is its transit location : it is crossed by transport routes connecting the West with the states of Central Asia and Transcaucasia that are rich by hydrocarbon resources . A large-scale and fairly ambitious gas pipeline projects that are scheduled to take place on the territory of the Black Sea countries and across the Black Sea lead us to expect the increasing role of the Black Sea region in the world economic system. In this regard, the author brings to light the problem of the main stages of the development of cooperation among the Black Sea countries be means of analysis of the most successful attempts at regional cooperation. Special attention is paid to the policy of Turkey in the Black Sea and on the interactions of two major regional actors (Russia and Turkey) . In addition, the work highlights the most promising areas of transport, logistics , trade and economic development of the region , including the project of ring highway around the Black Sea, as well as prospects for the intensification of maritime transport and the development of new marine transportation routes. To summarize, the author concludes that , despite the development of cooperation in the region , there are problems in the formation of a comprehensive system of regional security and cooperation, so as major obstacles to the successful implementation of the plan of cooperation in the Black Sea region still remain .
Church and Land in Basutoland: The Paris Evangelical Mission and its Implications
Authors: Tšeuoa Ntabanyane
Published: June 2021

This paper investigates how the Paris Mission acquired land in Basutoland upon the arrival of its missionaries in 1833 and in subsequent years. It also looks at changing notions of land and the missionaries’ utilisation of it throughout their tenure in Basutoland. It explores how the Basuto as a people understood the possession of land vis-à-vis the European notion of buying and selling land as a commodity. Particular focus is given to the extent of the misunderstanding that took place upon the initial allocation of land to the missionaries of the Paris Mission, as well as to the Methodist Wesleyan Mission missionaries who settled at ThabaNtšo (Nchu) in 1833. The missionaries gave Moshoeshoe some gifts—an act which was misconstrued by the two parties. The missionaries thought that the gifts were in exchange for the land granted to them and that they were actually buying it, while Moshoeshoe on the other hand thought that the gifts were a gesture of allegiance and goodwill to him as the king. To achieve the goal of the study, all old stations of the Paris Mission were looked into, as well as their founding missionaries to ascertain how land was granted to them by Moshoeshoe, and then how that land was utilised by the mission and the community. The study perused archival materials kept in the Morija Museum and archives. Some interviews were conducted among people well versed on the issue of land and the Paris Mission.
Whose Land Is it anyway? A historical Reflection on the Challenges URCSA Encountered with Land and Property Rights
Authors: Plaatjies-Van Huffel Mary-Anne
Published: June 2021

The proposal to amend the Constitution of South Africa 1996 regarding the expropriation of land without compensation has invigorated a robust discourse with regard to the land issue in South Africa. Cognisance should be taken of how the land issue was handled during the apartheid dispensation and the way it has played out in the constitutional democracy dispensation since 1994 in South Africa. This article will attend to issues relating to land in the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA). URCSA was constituted in 1994 due to a merger of two racially segregated churches, the Dutch Reformed Mission Church (DRMC) and the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa (DRCA). The DRMC was constituted through mission endeavours of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) during 1881 to serve so-called coloured members of the DRC. The DRCA was constituted in or about 1910 to serve African members. In order to understand the controversy in URCSA from 1994–2012 with regard to property rights, one has to understand how the colonists and missionaries (and later the apartheid regime) utilised “divide and rule” and supremacy strategies to secure property rights for churches of people from mixed descent and Indian people (the DRMC) and the Reformed Church in Africa [RCA]); while at the same time restricting property rights for churches of members from African descent (the DRCA). This is evident in the way the constitutions of the above-mentioned mission churches were drafted. This article will attend to the following subthemes: property rights of the DRMC challenged by apartheid laws; property rights of the DRCA challenged by apartheid laws; a court case regarding the expropriation of land without compensation; controversy regarding property rights (1998–2012); from litigation to out-of-court settlement on property rights (1998–2012); and lastly out-of-court settlement between the DRC, the DRCA and URCSA.
Ecclesiological Renewal for a Relevant Ministry and Church Polity, with reference to UCCSA and UPCSA in Zimbabwe
Authors: Maseko Xolani , Dreyer Wim A.
Published: June 2021

This article is a critique of Reformed Ecclesiology, particularly as regarding ministry and church polity. It is argued herein that a static ecclesiology results in church ministry that is seemingly deficient in responding to the context. This is seen in the current church polities and ways in which different denominations explain and carry out their ministry in the face of the new religious environment of the 21st century. This critique demands imperatives from the church, especially now in the advent of the emerging church, virtual ministry and such pandemics as Covid-19. The church cannot afford to remain ambivalent; her relevance is at stake. This article deals with Reformed Ecclesiology and polity in the context of Zimbabwe, with a special focus on the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA) and the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa (UPCSA) in Zimbabwe. These two denominations are in a “prolonged” engagement for church unity. From a strategic perspective, a possible ecclesiology will be proposed that can facilitate this renewal in the context of a Calvinistic ecclesiology. It is argued that a change in ecclesiology will result in a refined church ministry and polity. This is done by investigating the “church as epiphany.”
Crafting Nationness: DIY Venezuela in Deborah Castillo’sRAWand Violette Bule’sREQUIEM200≤
Authors: Troconis Irina R.
Published: June 2021

This article proposes the concept of nationness to explore the nuances and complexities that permeate the symbolic and material efforts to remember, imagine, and re-present the nation among the diasporic community of Venezuelan artists. Focusing on Deborah Castillo’s exhibitionRAW(2015) and Violette Bule’s installationREQUIEM200≤(2018), it analyzes how the two artists engage in a form of crafting that re-presents the nation as raw matter (wood, nails, clay) that never achieves a state of completeness or stability. I argue that this act of crafting is interactive and critical. It does not simply remember Venezuela and reproduce it as a spectacle to be passively consumed abroad; it provides the possibility to intervene in systems of power and representation that determine which bodies are visible and which are not, which bodies have power and which do not, which bodies are mourned and who should mourn them. In crafting what I call “Venezuelanness,” the artists’ work offers the space and the means to think (about) the country differently, beyond the spatial boundaries of its territory, beyond the icons that monopolize its collective imaginary, and beyond the extreme polarization of its politics.
Memory Activism and Mexico’s War on Drugs: Countermonuments, Resistance, and the Politics of Time
Authors: Alonso Alexandra Délano , Nienass Benjamin
Published: June 2021

The widespread violence in Mexico by state and nonstate actors since the government launched a military strategy against drug cartels in 2006 has generated demands for justice, including spaces of mourning and commemoration that recognize hundreds of thousands of Mexican nationals and migrants from other countries who have been killed or disappeared. Creating memorial spaces for ongoing forms of violence whose perpetrators and victims are hard to define has proven difficult from a bureaucratic, political, and aesthetic perspective. This article examines and contrasts three commemorative and transformative memorial interventions to show that in a context that lacks a clear transition and access to justice, memory activists respond to the state in a playing field that is not simply concerned with a politics of memory—who gets to decide how to remember the past—but with delineating the past from both the present and the future in the first place: a politics of time.
Legislative Behavior, Mass Media, and Foreign Policy Making: The Case of Paraguay
Authors: Ribeiro Pedro Feliú , Burian Camilo López , Urdinez Francisco
Published: June 2021

Does national media news coverage affect the behavior of legislators when deciding foreign policy matters? This article aims to disentangle the relationship between the media and legislative behavior in foreign policy, using Paraguay as a case study. We analyze the level of public debate on international affairs, measured by the frequency of news in the newspaper ABC Color in the six months before the roll-call votes on the Chamber of Deputies of Paraguay. The literature on Latin American studies finds a lack of parliamentary interest in foreign affairs due to low voter attention to this subject, and therefore a low impact on reelections. We find the relationship between parliamentary polarization and public interest in a bill to be mediated by mass media. After estimating a Tobit model, we observe a significant and positive relationship between the news coverage a law receives and the degree of polarization among parliamentarians. Thus, our empirical evidence contradicts the idea that there is a lack of electoral interest in foreign policy. We confirm this finding through qualitative data gathered from in-depth interviews.

Published: June 2021

Objective: Most students spend years in formal education settings without being explicitly taught how to learn effectively. Our objective was to evaluate an innovative intervention designed to effectively equipping all students with learning skills, called the Growth & Goals Module, which is an adaptable open education resource available in English and French.Methods: We evaluated the module using a Practical Participatory Evaluation approach and the 4-level Kirkpatrick Evaluation model. To investigate ten research questions aligned with the model, we collected data from 1845 students and five educators from nine undergraduate courses in science, engineering, and mathematics through questionnaires, focus groups, course assessments, and institutional data.Results: Students and educators reported high satisfaction (Level 1, Learning). The training was new to most students and most completion rates were over 75% when educators provided an incentive. Students in some demographics used the module less than others. In Level 2 (Learning), students’ metacognitive skills increased. They could identify SMART goals and differentiate growth/fixed mindset statements. At Level 3 (Behaviour), students reported intending to use the module in the future. Most educators created learning outcomes for the first time. The module required little time of students and educators; however, greater support, incentives, and rewards are needed for project sustainability. Educators have used the module in courses in many disciplines and levels (Level 4, Results).Conclusions: The Growth & Goals module explicitly teaches core learning skills for students in science, engineering, and mathematics courses and has the potential to scale to other disciplines and levels.
Holistic Evaluation of Biodegradation Pathway Prediction: Assessing Multi-Step Reactions and Intermediate Products
Authors: Tam Jason , Lorsbach Tim , Schmidt Sebastian , Wicker Jörg
Published: June 2021

The prediction of metabolism and biotransformation pathways of xenobiotics is a highly desired tool in environmental and life sciences. There are several systems that currently predict single transformation steps or complete pathways as series of parallel and subsequent steps. Their accuracy is often evaluated on the level of a single transformation step. Such an approach cannot account for some specific challenges that are related to the nature of the biotransformation experiments. This is particularly true for missing transformation products in the reference data that occur only in low concentrations, e.g. transient intermediates or higher-generation metabolites. Furthermore, some rulebased prediction systems evaluate accuracy only based on the defined set of transformation rules. Therefore, the performance of different models cannot be directly compared.

Published: June 2021

The measurement of the H-projected density of phonon states (H-DOPS) of polycrystalline ice Ic has been performed with an unprecedented accuracy, and in a sample having an almost perfect crystallographic purity, as it was obtained from the transformation of ice XVII. Results are compared with new accurate measurements of H-DOPS in ice Ih, and with centroid molecular-dynamics (MD) computations. The differences between the experimental H-DOPS in these two forms of ice are subtle, but quantitatively measurable. In addition, they are reproduced semi-quantitatively by computational methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of this innovative simulation tool for reproducing the dynamical properties of the ice structures.
Mixing and Flow-Induced Silk Fibroin Self-Assembly in Microfluidic and Semi-Batch Nanoprecipitation
Authors: Matthew Saphia A. L. , Rezwan Refaya , Perrie Yvonne , Seib F. Philipp
Published: June 2021

Here, we report the modulation of silk fibroin self-assembly by varying factors which control shear and mixing during nanoprecipitation in semi-batch and micro-mixers. For feeds processed at low shear in a semi-batch format, the properties of secondary assemblies (nanoparticles) were scalable by reducing the mixing time by stirring (0 < 400 rpm). For low mixing times, moving from low to high shear processing increased the extent of self-assembly (0.017 < 16.96 mL min-1) for 0.5, 2 and 3% w/v silk. In high shear regimes, the size and polydispersity index of assemblies decreased with mixing time, as stirring rate (800, 400 < 0 rpm) and feed addition height (3.5 < 0 cm) increased. Finally, in conditions of high shear and low mixing time, the feed concentration controlled the assembly shape, size, and polydispersity index in microfluidic (0.5, 3.0 < 2% w/v) and semi-batch format (3.0 < 0.5% w/v). This work provides new insight into the manufacture of low polydispersity, spherical and worm-like silk nanoparticles.
Synthesis of Boroxine and Dioxaborole Covalent Organic Frameworks via Transesterification and Metathesis of Pinacol Boronates
Authors: Hamzehpoor Ehsan , Jonderian Antranik , mccalla eric , Perepichka Dmitrii F.
Published: June 2021

Boroxine and dioxaborole are the first and some of the most studied synthons of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs). Despite their wide application in the design of functional COFs over the last 15 years, their synthesis still relies on the original Yaghi’s condensation of boronic acids (with itself or with polyfunctional catechols), some of which are difficult to prepare, poorly soluble, or unstable in the presence of water. Here we propose a new synthetic approach to boroxine COFs (based on transesterification of pinacol aryl boronates (ArBpin) with methyl boronic acid (MBA) and dioxaborole COFs (through the metathesis of pinacol boronates with methylboryl-protected catechols). The ArBpin and MBA-protected catechols are easy to purify, highly soluble, and bench-stable. Furthermore, kinetic analysis of the two model reactions reveals high reversibility (Keq~1) and facile control over the equilibrium. Unlike the conventional condensation which eliminates water by-products, the by-product of the metathesis (MBA pinacolate) allows for easy kinetic measurements of the COF formation by conventional 1H NMR. We show the generality of this approach by synthesis of seven known boroxine/dioxaborole COFs whose crystallinity is better or equal to those reported by conventional condensation. We also apply metathesis polymerization to obtain two new COFs, Py4THB and B2HHTP, whose synthesis was previously precluded by their insolubility and hydrolytic instability, respectively, of the boronic acid precursors.

Selective surface modification of bio-sourced colloids affords effective fractionation and functionalization of polysaccharide-based nanomaterials, as shown by the classic TEMPO-mediated oxidation. However, such route leads to changes of the native surface chemistry, affecting interparticle interactions and limiting the full exploitation of the supermaterial properties associated with such nanomaterial assemblies. Here we introduce a methodology to extract elementary cellulose fibrils by treatment of biomass with N-succinylimidazole, achieving spatially confined (92% regioselectivity towards primary C6-OH) and dynamic surface functionalization, as elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. No polymer degradation or crosslinking nor changes in crystallinity occur under the mild conditions of the process yielding elementary fibrils. The structure of the fibrils was validated by cross-corelating solid-state NMR, chromatographic analysis, and atomic force microscopy imaging. We demonstrate the fully reversible nature of the dynamic modification, which offers a significant opportunity for the reconstitution of the interfaces back to the native states, chemically and structurally. Consequently, access to 3D structuring of native elementary cellulose I fibrils is made possible, reproducing the supramolecular features of the native cellulosic supermaterials. Overall, we propose the reversible and regioselective surface succinylation as a suitable route to overcome current limitations in the production of cellulose nanomaterials, which is required to unlock the full potential of cellulose as a sustainable building block.
Clasistas, antiimperialistas y revolucionarios. Trayectoria política e intelectual del socialismo chileno contemporáneo. 1932-1973
Authors:   Universidad libre de Berlin, Garrido Pablo
Published: June 2021

El presente trabajo reconstruye la trayectoria político-intelectual del Partido Socialista de Chile entre los años 1932 y 1973, revisando su irrupción y desenvolvimiento en la vida política nacional a través de momentos claves para el desarrollo de la reflexión partidaria. Como se expone en sus páginas, estos momentos frecuentemente sobrepasaron los límites de la vida partidaria, estando ligados a acontecimientos y procesos propios del desarrollo político global, continental y nacional del siglo XX. Se argumenta que durante el periodo en cuestión se registraron una serie de debates que dieron cuenta de distintas etapas en el desarrollo organizativo, social e intelectual del socialismo chileno contemporáneo. Estos debates se enmarcaron en tres conceptos clave y que fueron frecuentemente discutidos durante toda la trayectoria: clase, antiimperialismo y revolución. En distintos momentos, y con significados diversos, las tendencias se definieron a sí mismas y a su organización como clasista, antiimperialista y revolucionaria, sin que existiera un consenso sobre el alcance político y programático de estas definiciones.

Published: June 2021

Study on the data of forage quality was conducted to determine the quality of napier grass forage with different growth and morfological type. In Indonesia, there are two types of napier grass, namely the tall and short type. The data used in this study were of proximate and van soest analysis of tall-type napier grass forage Pennisetum purpureum Schum and short-type napier grass, cultivar Mott dwarf, which were obtained from the Bekasi Feed Quality and Certification Center and data obtained from journals. The results of the study showed that dry matter content of short-type napier grass was higher than those of tall-type napier grass (23% vs 20%), while fiber fractions such as crude fiber, NDF and ADF of short-type napier grass were lower than those of tall-type napier grass 32% vs 29%, 70% vs 65%, 43% vs 39%, respectively. It is therefore relative forage quality (RFQ) of short-type napier grass was higher than those of tall-type napier grass (68 vs 57). It is concluded that related to dry matter and fiber fraction value, the quality of short-type napier grass (cv. Mott) is better than those of tall-type napier grass.

Key words: cultivar Mott, Pennisetum purpureum, relative forage quality (RFQ), short-type napier grass, tall-type napier grass

Published: June 2021

Today, fixatives from natural raw materials are gradually replacing fixatives synthesized from chemicals. The arm of this research is the study of same useful resin in Vietnam for fixative substance in blending fragrance. We obtained Benzoin resin from Styrax tonkenensis Pierre plant in Ha Giang province, Canarium resin from Canarium Album L. in Dak Nong district, Dak Lak province, and Agarwood pulp of Aquilaria crassna plant in Binh Thuan province Vietnam. The material used in the experiment for the natural fragrance was taken from the project of Vietnam essential oils and related natural products. The method of this process is resin extraction by volatile solvents. The resin is dissolved in alcohol 96% and the distilled alcohol is removed to obtain absolute. The method of assessment of product quality in this study is using the olfactory to assess the odour of samples over time. Benzoin resin, Canarium resin, and Agarwood resin of Vietnam are useful fixatives in blending fragrance. The fixative ability of Benzoin resin absolute is not equal to the ability of Agarwood resin absolute but better than the ability of Canarium resin absolute. Through research and experiment, we can see Benzoin resin, Canarium resin and Agarwood resin are precious. They can be used as a good fixative in aromatherapy. This is a natural resin, a kind of resource available in Vietnam. Therefore, it is recommended for further research, exploitation, and effective use of this resource.
INDIGENOUS MINORITIES IN THE CONTEMPORARY ETHNOPOLITICAL SPACE OF THE ALTAI REPUBLIC

Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of contemporary ethnopolitical processes in the Altai Republic. It is based on a polyparadigm approach and a wide range of sources. In the 1980–1990s, a number of organizations emerged in the Altai Republic; they represented the interests of the region’s minorities: the Kumandins, Chelkans, Tubalars, Teleuts. These groups, which were assessed as subethnoses in the academic and social-journalistic discourse, had crisis parameters in the preservation of languages and cultures, but demonstrated a high level of political activity. In the 2000s, the Kumandins, Chelkans, Tubalars, and Teleuts’ political choice was made in favor of the status of indigenous small peoples, which did not prevent them from considering themselves as a part of the Altai community as a whole. The authors’ study showed that the priorities of ethnic structuring of the Altai’s ethnopolitical space in the 2000s combined with integration trends. The realization of the rights of the indigenous peoples of the Altai Republic formed a new socio-cultural and ethno-political reality. The characteristic features of this reality are: activation of the national and ecological-cultural movement of indigenous small peoples and mobilization of ethnicity, cultural and linguistic identity; multi-level nature of identity. By analyzing the socio-cultural and ethno-political practices of the indigenous small peoples of the Altai Republic, the article demonstrates that despite all the difficulties associated with preserving the unity of the republican community, the movement of the region’s indigenous minorities has built a system of effective dialogue with the state and the regional community, taking into account Russian and international political and legal support.

The article analyzes the problems of mobility of indigenous minorities of the North of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) — the Evenks, Evens, Dolgans, Chukchi and Yukaghirs, whose language, identity and culture were formed in conditions of prolonged exposure to permafrost and the cold. Using Russian and foreign anthropological and sociological “mobile” ideas and theories, the paper examined and reinterpreted spiritual meanings and material practices of the movement and their representations; it expanded the understanding of the phenomenon of the movement as a social flow and a locomotive of their development, transformation, and modernization. The authors also studied the historical and anthropological concept of “multi-roadness” as a structureforming principle of life, sacred and profane world, travel strategy in life scenarios in a variety of its manifestations in history and modernity of the peoples of the North and the Arctic. Within the framework of interdisciplinary discourse, the authors develop the concept of “northernness” as a way of life in different texts (scientific, verbal, artistic, visual, field) of indigene communities of the Far North. The study has established that the “northern” way of life of tundra and taiga nomads is inseparable from the road “paradigm” and associated with the modus “multi-road” as a way to adapt to the changing reality, a strategy of choosing new life trajectories, focused on sustainable development of indigenous minorities of the North.
“THE PARTY’S COMMANDS OR THE HEART’S DESIRE…”: SEVERAL PAGES FROM THE HISTORY OF THE SVERDLOVSK BRANCH OF THE UNION OF SOVIET WRITERS (1946)
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Rusina Yulia A.
Published: June 2021

The article considers the traces of external influences on the works of Soviet (including Ural) writers in the first post-war year, which marked the end of the so-called first thaw period (1943–1946), a brief spiritual upsurge in the society recovering from the global catastrophe. In this article, the term external influence refers to the ideological pressure coming from the literary critics, colleagues, and other similar phenomena of Soviet culture expressed in ideological discourse. Addressing historical materials that preserved such evidence makes it possible to see the goals of the authorities aiming to control creative processes and, to a certain extent, intellectual and moral level of the authorities themselves as well. The protocols of general and party meetings of the Sverdlovsk branch of the Union of Soviet Writers for 1946 used in this study can be attributed to this kind of documentary sources. Theoretically, the analysis builds on E. A. Dobrenko’s ideas about “formation of the Soviet writer” and on the concept of “ideal type of social realism writer” proposed by T. A. Kruglova, as well as on the understanding of socialist realism as a method of structuring a literary work within the framework of socialist ideology. It was impossible to ignore the impact that the resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party on the journals “Zvezda” and “Leningrad” (August 14, 1946) had made on the Soviet writers. It provoked numerous discussions on “insufficiently high ideological level” of fiction in the regional branches of the Union of Soviet Writers, and restricted the course of national literature that impeded its development for years. Much attention is paid to the discussion of the unpublished short story “Meeting” (1946) by the Ural writer Nina Popova that took place in the Sverdlovsk regional organization of the Union of Soviet Writers and at the Moscow regional seminar of prose writers, as well as to the analysis of the text of the story.
THE RUSSIAN DEPARTMENT’S CARVED STONE AT THE 1893 WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION: RECONSTRUCTION OF THE COLLECTION
Authors:   Ekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts, Budrina Ludmila A.
Published: June 2021

In the 19th century stone-cutting art has become one of the brightest elements in the representation of the Russian Empire. World’s fairs provided ample opportunities for this representation. The article examines the structure of the collections and the list of the exhibitors at one of the largest fairs — The World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. The paper draws upon both published and archival documents, including those which have not yet been used for the examination of the representation of Russia’s stone art at this exhibition. It reconstructs mineralogical, technical and typological diversity of the exhibited items and the principle of reciprocal completing of the exhibitors. It also analyzes the items presented by the imperial Petergof, Ekaterinburg lapidary and Kolyvan grinding factories, by Carl Woerffel’s enterprise and a wide range of small Ural producers as well. Due to discovering of archival materials, a number of items, exhibited in Chicago, was identified in themuseum collections in Russia and abroad. Some attributional details for the exhibited Woerffel items are offered which made it possible to propose the authorship and dating for the items from Russian and foreign collections.

The article analyzes folk stories about COVID-19 recorded in the urban environment during March–December 2020. The authors identify different varieties of “COVID” prose (the cases from medical practice, “confessions” of the people on the way to recovery, “hypotheses” of the virus’s origin, gossips about the planned chipping, traditional recipes for “the Chinese infection”, etc.), determine their subject matter (the origin of the virus, the duration of the pandemic, methods of COVID treatment, the vaccine’s effectiveness, means of transmission, etc.); distinctive features of oral stories are also given: the content’s relevance, the responsiveness to new hypotheses and versions of the virus’s origin and treatment, the mobility of genre’s boundaries. The tales of medical workers, telling about extraordinary incidents in medical practice, combine the tragic and the comic features. Their characters are doctors, showing miracles of endurance and selflessness, and “sufferers” — patients who are worthy of respect and sympathy. Narratives existing in a vast sociocultural space are based both on personal experience and on information obtained from “official sources” (mass media, Internet, medical workers). The emergence and active development of “COVID” folklore is an indication of folklore’s dominant features to respond vividly to changes in human life and society and acts as a clear demonstration of the sustainable development of folk traditions at the present stage.

The contours of the image of the Great Patriotic War and the Victory formed in the post-war 20th century laid the content of the “matrix” of Russian historical memory. The strengthening trend of national and state-oriented policy of historical memory actualizes addressing the genesis of this image and commemorative (traditions, rituals, symbols). In the USSR, the tool for creating and promoting technologies of commemorative practices, preserving and transmitting the memory of the Great Patriotic War to society was newspapers highly demanded by the Soviet population. The article analyzes the materials published in 1946–1965 in central, regional, and local newspapers (“Pravda”, “Ural’skii rabochii”, “Sovetskaya Sibir′” and “Magnitogorskii Metall”). The use of content and discourse analysis methods made it possible to identify the dynamics in the presentation of the Victory image on the pages of the press: from a chaotic festive extravaganza to a “cultural” recreation of citizens and ritualized practices (laying wreaths, holding concerts, exhibitions). The paper also captures the changes caused by a change in the political situation, a decrease in the intensity of the company, aimed at the labor mobilization of the Soviet society. The 1946–1965 newspapers of various levels reveal the specifics in the coverage of the Victory theme: the central newspapers published more theoretical materials on this topic, while the regional and factory newspapers more often covered practices dedicated to this date (labor, holiday).

La Educación Física presenta cierta diversidad de enfoques metodológicos por parte del profesorado que la imparte, dado su carácter eminentemente práctico. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la posible influencia del género y años de experiencia docente en las preferencias metodológicas del profesorado de Educación Infantil y Primaria que imparte la materia de Educación Física en centros educativos de Galicia. La muestra estuvo constituida por 205 docentes de los cuales 57 eran mujeres (27.8%). Se realizó una recogida de datos a través del cuestionario validado Estilos de Enseñanza en Educación Física (EEEF). Los resultados obtenidos mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el factor género en los estilos individualizadores (p < .001), cognitivos (p < .001) y creativos (p < .001). En cuanto a los años de experiencia docente, se han encontrado diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los estilos tradicionales (p < .001), en los individualizadores (p = .006), en los que fomentan la participación y socialización del alumnado (p < .001), en los cognitivos (p < .001) y en los creativos (p = .045). Se concluye que el profesorado con menos años de experiencia muestra una mayor preferencia por los métodos de individualización de la enseñanza, de socialización, participación del alumnado y enfoque metodológico que fomente la creatividad. Los métodos tradicionales son acogidos mayoritariamente en todas las etapas de experiencia profesional siendo más altos en la franja de profesorado con 6 a 11 años de experiencia. Por su parte, los profesores optan más por los estilos individualizadores, cognitivos y creativos que las profesoras, aunque en ambos casos emplean los estilos tradicionales. Estos resultados ayudan a mejorar los planes de formación de profesorado estableciendo estrategias que aborden diferentes perspectivas y enfoques metodológicos aprovechando así los beneficios de cada uno de ellos.

El rol de director escolar conlleva la ejecución de múltiples actividades que, muchas veces, van en paralelo con la actividad didáctica lo que podría estar relacionado con rendimiento y clima escolar. Por esta razón, la investigación persigue tres objetivos: i) describir las actividades llevadas a cabo por los directores escolares; ii) identificar quiénes acompañan a los directores en las distintas actividades; iii) analizar la relación entre las actividades directivas con el rendimiento de la escuela. Hemos optado por un estudio cuantitativo en el que se analizan las prácticas diarias de 42 directores de escuelas con buen rendimiento escolar y 42 directores de escuelas con bajo rendimiento escolar, según los resultados de las Pruebas Nacionales. Para identificar la frecuencia de ejecución de actividades se utilizó un Registro Diario. Por otro lado, se utilizó una escala para medir el clima escolar. Los resultados indican que los directores de los distintos grupos conformados, distribuían el tiempo de gestión en las 10 actividades directivas identificadas, arrojando como resultado que las actividades a las que los directores invertían más tiempo fueron: 1) No escolares; 2) Relaciones con los estudiantes; 3) Liderazgo Instructivo y Planear metas. Las actividades que menos tiempo recibían fueron: 1) Crecimiento profesional; 2) Finanzas; 3) Infraestructura. Con relación a los tipos de acompañamientos que tuvieron los directores escolares, en el grupo de las escuelas clasificadas por su rendimiento y por el clima escolar, no se obtuvieron diferencias. Los directores realizaron esta actividad con los siguientes tipos de acompañamientos: En primer lugar, Solo (sin acompañantes); en segundo lugar, acompañados de Profesores líderes, facilitadores y maestros. En tercer lugar, con vendedores y contratistas. Por último, no se evidenció una fuerte correlación entre las actividades que realiza el director y el rendimiento escolar.

Tradicionalmente el Pueblo Gitano ha encontrado en el seno familiar su mayor fortaleza para adaptarse a un medio adverso. Este estudio empírico con metodología cuantitativa explora la contribución respectiva del contexto (calidad del vecindario y apoyo social), del sistema familiar (coherencia y adaptabilidad) y del individuo (bienestar subjetivo) sobre la resiliencia de las figuras parentales desde una perspectiva psicosocial y comunitaria. Los participantes fueron 95 familias de etnia gitana residentes en las Islas Canarias y 16 técnicos del ámbito social, cuyas respuestas a los cuestionarios fueron sometidas a análisis estadísticos descriptivos y un modelo de regresión. Las familias viven en vecindarios desfavorecidos debido a su baja formación, el empleo precario y los escasos apoyos formales recabados. Las figuras parentales perciben un buen nivel de cohesión familiar y de bienestar subjetivo.El modelo de regresión sobre la resiliencia muestra la contribución negativa de la problemática social del vecindario, y la contribución positiva de los ingresos económicos estables, vivir en un barrio inclusivo, disfrutar de cohesión familiar y de bienestar subjetivo.En conclusión, las familias de etnia gitana presentan fortalezas y potencialidades que, junto con los apoyos comunitarios apropiados, garantizan una resiliencia normalizadora sobre aquellos valores familiares que permitieron su supervivencia en tiempos difíciles.
