Research on the Connotation of Teacher Ethics in Chinese Higher Educational Institutions in the New Era
Authors: Qiao Xiaohu
Published: April 2024

Currently, the discussion of public or private ethics, high or low standards, self-discipline or self-discipline, etc., has emerged in Chinese university teacher ethics, which marks a profound change in the connotation of teacher ethics in Chinese universities in the new era, with new features. Based on the vision of international teacher ethics, learning and understanding General Secretary Xi’s important discussions on teacher ethics, and sorting out China’s policies and systems for teacher ethics construction, this study argues that teacher ethics in Higher educational institutions is a combination of the “first-level index” of ethics, and three “second-level indexes” of “occupational ethics, personal ethics, and social ethics”, and it is a unity of ethical concepts and ethical behaviors. It is not a specific quality or ability, but an important guideline for regulating the mutual relations between teachers and other communities of interest, and is the ethical foundation of teachers’ quality.

Authors: Kim Jumin , Park Dasol , Lee Hyeryun , Leem Jungtae
Published: April 2024

This case report demonstrates the effect of modified Bangibokryeong-tang (Fangji Fuling Decoction), a traditional herbal prescription in treating dyspnea and palpitations, symptoms that often lead to anxiety and reduced quality of life of cardiac patients. A female patient in her late 70s with congenital valve malformation and atrial fibrillation presented with dyspnea and palpitations, each rated at a severity of 8 on a numeric rating scale (NRS). After voluntarily discontinuing Western medication, she received modified BGBRT for 25 days, leading to significant symptom relief and NRS improvement to 0-2. The patient reported maintaining an improved condition and showed a significant increase in vitality. This improvement was sustained for 7 months, but the symptoms recurred; thus, modified BGBRT was restarted. Modified BGBRT showed substantial effects on persistent cardiac-origin dyspnea and palpitations. Thus, this TKM has the potential to manage symptoms and enhance the quality of life of cardiac patients.

Published: April 2024

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of Ssanghwa-tang (SHT) on lung injury and muscle loss in a COPD mouse model.Methods: C57BL/6 mice were challenged with cigarette smoke extract and lipopolysaccharide, and then treated with two concentrations of SHT (250 and 500 mg/kg). After sacrifice, the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) or lung tissue was analyzed by cytospin, ELISA, real-time PCR, flow cytometry analysis, and H&E and Masson’s trichrome staining. The grip strength of COPD mice was measured using a grip strength meter. The running time of COPD mice was measured by a treadmill test. Muscle tissue of the quadriceps was stained with H&E and Masson’s trichrome staining.Results: SHT significantly inhibited the increase in neutrophil numbers in BALF and significantly decreased immune cell activity in BALF and lung tissue. It also significantly inhibited the increase in TNF-α, IL-17, and MIP2 in BALF. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-17, MIP2, and TRPV1 in lung tissue showed a significant decrease compared with the control group. Lung tissue damage was significantly reduced in the histological analysis. The grip strength and running time of the COPD mice showed a significant decrease compared with the control group. In histological staining, SHT was found to reduce the damage to muscle tissue.Conclusions: This study indicates that SHT can be used as a therapeutic agent for COPD patients by inhibiting lung injury and muscle loss.

This case report highlights the efficacy of traditional Korean medicine in treating chronic levator ani syndrome.
A 47-year-old male suffered from chronic anorectal pain for 14 years. Over the last 5 months, the severity and frequency of the pain increased, and he was unresponsive to Western medicine and acupuncture outside Korea.
The patient reported moderate anorectal pain from early morning until midday, affecting daily efficiency and concentration. The pain was triggered by defecation and alleviated by lying down. He was diagnosed with levator ani syndrome related to “cold symptoms of the liver and kidney - Yin”, for which modified Nangan-jeon was prescribed. Indirect moxibustion (CV4, Ki1), Aconitum ciliare Decaisne pharmacopuncture (GV1, BL33), and acupuncture (HT7, ST36, SP6, LR3, LI4) were also administered weekly. After 8 weeks, the anorectal pain decreased by 2 points on a numeric rating scale, leading to patient satisfaction and return to his home country.
Investigating the Status of WHO VigiAccess Adverse Drug Event Reporting and Exploring its Potential for Application Using Anti-Obesity Agents as Examples
Authors: Kim Mikyung
Published: April 2024

Objectives: This study reviewed the status of adverse event (AE) reporting in VigiAccess using anti-obesity agents as examples and explored the possibility of its use and future challenges.Methods: AE reports related to some representative drugs among herbal medicines (HMs), complex HM prescriptions, ingredients of supplements, and over-the-counter and prescription medicines were investigated using VigiAccess on February 1, 2024.Results: AE reports on prescription drugs were overwhelmingly higher than those on HMs or supplements. Although most reports were submitted from North America, reports on Ephedra sinica and green tea extract (GTE) were more from Asia and Europe, respectively. The female population reported more, and the difference in the sex ratio was the smallest for Ephedra spp. The age group was concentrated on young adults, but many older patients reported GLP-1 receptor agonist-related AEs. Symptoms related to the gastrointestinal and nervous systems were most commonly reported, but mental and cardiac disorders were common in Ephedra-type HMs. Hepatobiliary disorders are also commonly found in GTE-related reports.Conclusions: VigiAccess was useful for easily checking the global status of AE reporting for prescription drugs. However, several limitations were observed in using VigiAccess for HMs because of the few reports. Thus, it is necessary to increase the number of reports by education and to promote AE reporting among HM prescribers and users. The full range of HMs should be included in the pharmacovigilance system, and the coding and classification of HMs should be revised.

Published: April 2024

Candidamycosis causes significant damage to the poultry industry. Mortality rate in young birds reaches 95100 %. The aim of the study was to optimize formation and intestinal colonization resistance under the influence of biologically active bee products (BABP) and the features of recovery in birds infected with candidamycosis of digestive tract (CDT). Studies were carried out on Japanese meat 10-day-old to 90-day-old quails. All the studied beekeeping products extracts of wax moth, drone homogenate and propolis contribute to the stabilization of the hidden genetically laid down mechanisms of natural intestinal microbiocenosis in healthy quails bred in captivity, without causing damage to the body, restoring the balance of normoflora and opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms to physiological values. However, a constant complex of stressors encountered during bird breeding, associated with the conditions of keeping, feeding, veterinary and zootechnical measures, lead to a significant activation of Candida albicans in large intestine, with the subsequent development of candidiasis of digestive tract, deep dysbacterioses, characterized by increased reproduction and increase in the content of opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms: Candida albicans by 8.34 times, Staphylococcus aureus by 4.37 times, Pseudomonas spp. by 3.29 times; inhibition of reproduction and decrease in the level of normoflora: Lactobacillus spp. by 6.0 times, Bifidobacterium spp. by 7.25 times. The use of extracts of wax moth, drone homogenate and propolis in candidamycosis-i nfected birds contributed to restoration of quail intestinal microbiocenosis, which was manifested by: a) decrease in the level of opportunistic pathogenic Candida albicans by 3.3; 4.61 and 3.97 times; Staphylococcus aureus by 4.0; 7.78 and 4.5 times; Pseudomonas spp. by 3.05; 5.32 and 3.96 times; b) activation and increase of normoflora: Lactobacillus spp. by 6.38; 10.0 and 8.84 times; Bifidobacterium spp. by 5.36; 8.42 and 7.5 times.

Authors: Gnezdilova Larisa A. , Fedotov Sergey V. , Muradyan Zhora Y. , Rozinsky Serafim M.
Published: April 2024

The research was carried out in the dairy complexes of Lednevo breeding farm in the Yuryev- Polsky district, the Vladimirov region. The purpose of the study was to scientifically substantiate the influence of mycotoxins on quality indicators of milk in cows in a large livestock complex. At each of the complexes, 20 cows were selected. The milk samples were taken to determine the content of protein, fat, casein, albumin, globulins, lactose, total solids, dry skimmed milk residue using automatic milk composition analyzer (Combi Milkoscan, FossElectric, Denmark). Analysis of mycotoxin residues in milk was carried out using liquid chromatography mass spectrum. To determine hematological parameters and perform biochemical tests, BioSystemsA25 automatic analyzer (USA) was used. The results of automatic Foss analyzer showed a decrease in dry matter content in milk from cows that received feed with a higher concentration of mycotoxins (10.44 0.22 versus 14.71 0.45 %). Thus, mycotoxins in high concentrations affect amino acid metabolism. Threonine, an essential amino acid obtained from aspartate in bacteria and plants, is metabolized to form glycine and serine, which have a great influence on metabolic processes. Thus, feeding lactating cows with fodder containing mycotoxins reduced feed consumption, milk yield, and also had negative effect on hematological and biochemical blood parameters of experimental cows.

Published: April 2024

Comparative effectiveness of veterinary antimastitis drugs in the treatment of subclinical and clinical mastitis of dairy cows was studied. During the experiment, two treatment regimens were used. Cows from the 1st and 3rd experimental groups were treated according to the traditional scheme for this farm - intracisternal administration of Mastiet Forte; for the treatment of cows from the 2nd and 4th experimental groups, Mamikur was administered intracisternally. The effectiveness of therapy was assessed by clinical signs, by the number of somatic cells in milk, response to Kenotest and hematological parameters. It was established that the use of Mamikur as a monotherapy for serous-catarrhal clinical and subclinical mastitis in cows is well tolerated and gives a positive effect when administered intracisternally in the volume of one dosing syringe three times with an interval of 12 hours.

Creative accounting in times of turbulence: Empirical evidence in Greek SMEs governance
Authors: Toudas Kanellos , Boufounou Paraskevi , Parenaki Maria-Georgia
Published: April 2024

This paper’s objective is to critically assess issues related to creative accounting in times of turbulence, presenting the findings of an empirical study carried out in Greek small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Greece was chosen because the financial crisis that the country has been facing since 2010 has created a highly prolonged uncertainty in its businesses and according to Goel (2017), this leads to an extension of the application of creative accounting. As this is Greece’s first empirical study published surveying professional corporate accountants and auditors, its findings are particularly noteworthy for regulation and corporate governance policy implications. As in Mindak et al. (2016), earnings manipulation is considered the most popular method of creative accounting in Greece after the Memorandums. The majority of this study’s findings are in line with those of Bhasin (2016) and Karim et al. (2016). Almost half of the respondents considered creative accounting to be legitimate, as Bhasin (2016), leading to the conclusion that strengthening the institutional/corporate governance framework is a key method of limiting the use of creative accounting.

Published: April 2024

Baseando-nos em experiências dialéticas de crianças com artefatos arquitetônicos e urbanísticos, buscamos oferecer a elas uma série de dispositivos que lhes possibilitem a identificação de territórios educativos (TEs), por meio do programa Crianças arquitetando no território. Nossa premissa é de que as teorias e conceitos de Paulo Freire, pelo campo da Educação progressista, fecundam a práxis destes dispositivos da área da Arquitetura e Urbanismo, ao mesmo tempo em que colaboram para o alargamento deste campo teórico e prático dos TEs, que tem se revelado multidisciplinar e em construção. Assim, o objetivo é apresentar de forma sumária os dispositivos e seu diálogo com os conceitos freirianos de modo a colaborar para o seu aprofundamento teórico-conceitual. Pudemos estabelecer nexos sobretudo com as ideias de alfabetização e processo cognitivo, formulando uma concepção híbrida de alfabetização territorial, que preza pela autonomia das crianças em seu processo de aprendizagem.

Ultrasound Evaluation of the Impact of Disparities of the Pulsatility Indices on Fetal Outcomes in Preeclamptic Pregnancies: A Pilot Study from a Tertiary Hospital in South South Nigeria
Authors: Akagbue Vivian N , Ugboma Enighe Wananyo
Published: April 2024

Objective: To examine the relationships between fetal Doppler indices and perinatal outcomes in women with preeclampsia and normotensive controls. Methods: Middle cerebral artery (MCA) pulsatility index (PI), umbilical artery (UA) PI, and cerebroumbilical PI ratio were measured in women with preeclampsia (n=50) and normotensive controls (n=50). Associations with birth weight, gestational age at delivery, and 1- and 5-minute Apgar scores were evaluated. Predictive accuracy of indices for adverse outcomes was also assessed. Results: In pre-eclamptics, MCA PI correlated with birth weight, Apgar scores, and gestational age (p<0.05). UA PI correlated negatively with all outcomes (p<0.05). Cerebroumbilical ratio correlated positively with birth weight and Apgar scores, and negatively with gestational age and 1-minute Apgar (p<0.05). UA PI demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for predicting outcomes except prematurity. Cerebroumbilical ratio showed balanced sensitivity and specificity except for stillbirths. Conclusions: Fetal Doppler indices provide valuable prognostic information in preeclampsia. UA PI may be optimal for predicting adverse outcomes. Cerebroumbilical ratio balances sensitivity and specificity. Larger multicenter studies are needed to standardize criteria and validate predictive accuracy across disease severity. Fetal Doppler surveillance warrants further research to optimize preeclampsia management.
Personal Pronouns in Biden’s Inaugural Speech: A Critical Discourse Perspective
Authors: Romadlani Muhammad Masqotul Imam
Published: April 2024

This research primarily examines the first-person personal pronouns in political discourse, political speech in particular. This research aims to reveal how the pronoun I and we are exploited by the politician for the specific intention in political discourse. This research contextually investigates those personal pronouns and their inflectional forms based on the critical discourse analysis perspective, revealing the function and the purpose of producing a particular and an intentional personal pronoun to refer to specific addressee(s). That linguistic strategy in political context indicate the social and political relation between the speaker and the referents. The data in this research were taken from the script of Biden’s inaugural speech given in 2021. From 224 first-person personal pronouns, Biden produced the pronoun I and its inflectional forms 63 times or 28,1% and the pronoun we and its inflectional forms 161 times or 71,9 in percentage. Even though the plural form was identified as the most first-person personal pronoun produced by Biden, the occurrence of the pronoun we and its inflectional forms excluded Kamala Harris as his vice president. Biden exploited the first-person singular personal pronoun to express his gratitude, quality, positive image and persuasively to ingratiate the citizens. On the other hand, Biden expressed the pronoun we and its inflectional forms to establish a sense of national unity, togetherness to confront the challenges, and sharing responsibility. Personal pronouns no longer deal with language structure analysis only, but they are also employed to persuasively affect socio-political position, especially in a political context.
Post-feminist Discourses in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Authors: Khairunnisa Liyana , Supiastutik Supiastutik , Murti Ghanesya Hari
Published: April 2024

This research analyzes feminist success in post-feminist discourse related to neoliberalism in the Hollywood film industry through The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. This research aims to reveal how Evelyn's actions within the neoliberalism framework criticize the discourse of post-feminism. Postfeminism emerged as a response to feminism, suggesting that women can embrace traditional feminine roles while still feeling empowered and in control, as post-feminism believes that feminism has largely achieved its goals. Angela McRobbie's post-feminism theory is used to analyze the novel because it identifies the form of neoliberal practice in post-feminism. The results show that the success of neoliberal feminists portrayed by Evelyn is false because the dominance of neoliberalism practices still idealizes a heterosexual matrix with seven marriages possible in the Hollywood industry. Women are capitalized as sexual objects for heterosexual audiences for neoliberal interests. Women must comply with these two things through the sexual contract by participating in the fashion beauty complex to survive in the work environment. The resulting impact is that women then repress their gender identity and discipline it to fit the industry's logic. This discourse is disseminated in the novel as a social discourse even though the author's critical position seeks to reject the application of heteronormativity in the novel and also the social practices of the Hollywood industry.
Comparative Study of Thematic Choice and Progression on Text Written by Humans and AI Machine
Authors: Suharsono Suharsono , Ashadi Ashadi , Sudartinah Titik
Published: April 2024

The development of AI technology has enabled machines to carry out tasks that previously could only be done by humans. Scientists of AI have recently launched a tool called ChatGPT. It is a tool that can do whatever is ordered by humans, including making academic writing like an abstract. Thus, this study aimed to compare thematic choice and thematic progression on the text of research abstracts of undergraduate students of Teacher College and those by ChatGPT (AI machine). To analyze the data, this study employed the thematic structure of Systemic Functional Linguistics developed by Halliday Matthiessen and thematic progression developed by Bloor Bloor. The thematic choice was analyzed by observing the variety of themes appearing in the two texts, as well as the level of complexity and diversity used. Thematic progression was evaluated by examining how the themes are arranged and developed along with the development of the texts. The results of this study show that AI machine has reached a level of proficiency allowing AI to rival humans. Even though there are fundamental differences in thematic progression patterns between texts written by undergraduate students and ChatGPT, this study concludes that the two are not significantly different. Therefore, the researchers suggest that further research in a similar field may explore issues such as quality, creativity, and originality. Afterwards, this study also suggests that English teachers use this thematic structuring knowledge and skills to improve students’ writing skill. This study provides valuable insight into the capabilities and limitations of AI machine in imitating the human creative process of writing.
Extending the Dialogue: Responding to Indonesian Multicultural Children’s Literature Cap Go Meh
Authors: Durriyah Tati Lathipatud , Dewayani Sofie
Published: April 2024

Cap Go Meh is an Indonesian picture book with interreligious and multiethnic themes and has been translated to English and been awarded for promoting multiculturalism. Studies that focus on reader response to interreligious theme of children’s literature are scarce. This study examines a reading engagement of a group of Muslim preservice to Cap Go Meh read aloud. Using a framework of reader response theory that pays attention to cultural influences including religions, this qualitative study posed a question: How do Indonesian Muslim preservice teachers respond to the multicultural story in Cap Go Meh. The respondents’ writing responses generated two major themes. One was concerned with how the preservice teachers relate to Cap Go Meh and how its narrative leads to their reflections about diversity. The other one focused on how the participants might extend the story of Cap Go Meh and highlighted the preservice teachers’ concerns with the role of adults (parents) in the story. Additional data from one participant could potentially show a case for furthering literary experiences using multicultural children’s literature. The researchers note that responses to sensitive issues such as religious diversity occur mostly in a context where there is encouragement from teachers. In this case, it is crucial to highlight the importance of bringing multicultural children’s literature like Cap Go Meh as a medium to discuss the lives and perspective of others.

Network Learning and Education
Authors: Sudlow Darren
Published: April 2024

Technology, and in particular the internet, has had an undeniable impact on all aspects of society. Professor Manuel Castells, conceptualises this change as the rise of a ‘Network Society’ with the internet being the decisive technology in this change - “with the explosion of wireless communication in the early twenty-first century, we can say that humankind is now almost entirely connected”. The network society is constructed around personal and organisational networks, powered by digital networks and communicated by the internet. This, in turn, means society is both boundaryless and global.

 

If this is the emerging paradigm, then we need to reconsider how we ‘do’ education. Our current approach does not yet align with this. In fact, it only amplifies our vulnerabilities. Schools operating as silos, in a competitive, market-driven environment, focused entirely on the local context, makes little sense. It is no wonder that as schools compete to attract all the best teachers for their particular area, others suffer as a result. Teacher shortages are inevitable in such an environment.

 

Networks of schools and networked learning are just one key to addressing many of the challenges we face in a fast-changing world. This is clear in the development of Kōhui Akos which recognises the importance of schools working together to provide meaningful pathways for learners within or across local communities. However, networked and flexible education needs to be deeply embedded at a system level to really achieve meaningful change.

 

In such a paradigm shift, schools work together as networks of learning to create efficiencies in the use of their resourcing, to cater to a wide variety of learner needs and interests and to prepare them for a ‘connected’ world. We embed a system level solution. This solution has operated within New Zealand for close to thirty years with little central support. It is a grass roots development led by rural schools who had to work together to remain sustainable. Operating as regional clusters schools used the internet to share teachers and programmes across schools.

 

We certainly recognise the challenges to this. Self-managing, autonomous schools is embedded into our educational pysche. It is how we expect things to work. However, networked education actually strengthens the local rather than dissipating it. It does not deny autonomy. It just asks schools to think at both a networked and local level.

 

We have an opportunity to leverage technology to realise a vision for education in New Zealand which establishes schools as networks, as collaborators and as providers in a boundaryless environment. The significance of this vision is that is a based on an established, proven model that has been in place in some form since 1994. 

 

Join me as we explore the possibilities and opportunities with such a paradigm shift. What does this look like in practice? What are the challenges? What needs to happen to embed networked education at local, regional and system level?

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Liu Xuezhen
Published: April 2024

Environmental aesthetics, or aesthetics of environment represents one of the most recent in constitution and one of the most dynamic subdisciplines of contemporary aesthetic discourse. Chinese ecological aesthetics has become a complex and original set of ideas, which is of great importance for other cultures, including Russian, due to the scale of environmental problems that China has recently faced in connection with economic growth, as well as the applicability of ways to solve them in Russian conditions. For these reasons, the author of this article offers a historical and theoretical analysis of the content of the concepts of modern Chinese ecological aesthetics, developed on the basis of A.N. Whitehead's theory of procedural understanding of nature, Marxist dialectics and traditional Chinese philosophy.

The aim of the article is to analyze the trends in the field of education under the influence of the leading innovative technology of the modern world – artificial intelligence. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research includes the use of general philosophical approaches and methods of historical-comparative, historical-genetic, historical-typological, historical-systemic for the analysis of specialized scientific works and legal acts. It is shown that educational methods for the development of students’ cognitive abilities and formation of the required knowledge and skills, originated in ancient times and actual nowadays, gradually became more and more diverse and effective under the influence of scientific and technological progress, but their essence and purpose throughout history remained unchanged, which gives grounds to consider education as a conservative sphere of society. Artificial intelligence, which has fundamentally new capabilities compared to all previous technologies, is capable of making qualitative changes in the field of education, but the result will not only be enormous opportunities, but also serious risks, since in a number of its parameters it is superior to humans. However, abandoning artificial intelligence does not seem likely or feasible; the progressive development of humanity without the use of artificial intelligence is no longer possible.

Authors:   Almetyevsk State Oil Institute, Ilyin Alexey N.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the works of postmodernist philosophers such as Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, and Michel Foucault. It analyzes their views on the nature of madness, the influence of language and power on the formation of this concept in postmodern thought. Various concepts of madness presented by postmodern philosophers are covered. The topics of deconstruction of traditional ideas about mental health and the influence of socio-cultural factors on the formation of alternative views on madness are discussed. It is also analyzed how the philosophy of postmodernism influences the public perception of insanity and methods of its diagnosis. The issue of social integration of people with mental disorders in postmodern culture is also addressed. It is argued that the postmodern view of madness provides new angles for understanding and solving the problem of the presence of madness in public being. The position is highlighted that an adequate understanding of mental health requires not only theoretical revision but also practical changes in society, diagnosis and support for people. Research in this area is needed to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between the social, cultural and individual aspects of mental health in the modern world.
Formation the Image of the Future in Modern Russia: Mass Dynamics and the Role of the State
Authors:   State University of Management, Titov Victor V.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of forming the image of the future in Russia in the late 2010s – early 2020s. The above problem is considered from two perspectives: from the point of view of factors influencing the crystallization of Russians’ perceptions of the collective future, and in the context of the state policy of constructing the image of the future. It is stated that the fragmentation of the image of the future in modern Russia is due to such factors as the complex nature of Russian society and its generational specifics, the intensive digital transformation of the socio-political environment, the lack of horizontal and vertical social trust, the eclecticism of political values and hypertrophied retrospective orientations of mass consciousness. It is pointed out that the state policy of constructing a national image of the future in today’s Russia is characterized by an insufficient level of institutionalization and elaboration. At the same time, in the semantic sense, at the turn of the 2010–2020s it was consistently aimed at actualizing such mass political values as paternalism, social justice and improving the quality of life. It is emphasized that the political events of the early 2020s were a stress factor for the Russian society and had a serious impact on Russians’ perceptions of the country’s future. Therefore, the role of the state policy of constructing the image of the future as a key tool for the value-semantic consolidation of Russian society is significantly increasing.

The Ideological and Political Spectrum: General Methodological Context and the Situation in Modern Russia
Authors:   Moscow Financial and Industrial University “Synergy”, Mikheeva Vitalina V.
Published: April 2024

The concept of the “ideological and political spectrum” in the political science literature is used to describe various ideologies and their propagators, such as political parties and social movements. However, there is no single definition of this term. In fact, the ideological and political spectrum reflects the diversity of political parties or their counterparts. As a rule, this refers to the main characteristic of the internal structure of the ideological and political scale, that is, the positioning of parties and social movements based on the right-left spectrum. The aim of the article is to identify the specifics of the tradition of distinguishing between right-wing and left-wing political parties in the methodological context. Objectives: to identify the basic principles on the basis of which certain political parties belong to the right or left political spectrum; to consider the situation of differentiation between left and right in the Russian political field. It is concluded that there is practically no division between left and right in Russian society. A significant part of respondents in the Russian Federation are unaware of the differences between right-wing or left-wing parties, which indicates a low level of their political awareness. It is stated that the main feature of the majority of political parties in modern Russia is a gravitation towards values and principles, rather than ideological doctrines.
Political Opportunities and Risks of Opening the Zangezur Corridor, Its Role in Increasing Transport Connectivity in the South Caucasus
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Karimov Shovgin I. ogly
Published: April 2024

This article assesses the potential of using the Zangezur corridor linking the main territory of Azerbaijan with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (NAR) within the framework of the West-East international transport corridor projects. The key risks of implementing this project in the absence of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the incompleteness of the border delimitation process are highlighted. The positions of other parties interested in increasing transport connectivity in the South Caucasus – Turkey, Iran and Russia – are analyzed. It is stated that the main problem in the implementation of the Zangezur corridor is the lack of trust between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well as the risk that Azerbaijan’s control over traffic along the route could be used to distort the existing balance of power in the region. The solution to these problems is proposed through the creation of a platform for constructive dialogue between Armenia, Azerbaijan and stakeholders on general issues of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, including the corridor issue. The creation of an alternative route through Iran is also seen as an adequate solution in case Armenia is not ready for agreements.
