Una resignificación proteica
Authors: Caetano Gerardo
Published: December 2024

Durante el período investigado (1770-1870), el uso de la voz Democracia se fue popularizando en Iberoamérica en forma progresiva, sufrió resignificaciones de importancia y se ubicó en una cada vez más extensa y compleja red conceptual, dentro de la cual fue configurando sus diversos sentidos, sus ambigüedades, sus contenidos en disputa y su radical polisemia. Su éxito derivó en buena medida de su alejamiento de sus raíces clásicas y, en especial, de su asociación con el «jacobinismo» y sus connotaciones de tumulto y radicalismo. También los cruces con la «cuestión de la representación» y con los «liberalismos» de la época habilitaron una resemantización intensa de la voz. Su capacidad «proteica», su versatilidad para mutar, a la vez que complejizaron el concepto, le permitieron una difusión extendida, tal vez más extensa que intensa. Para recorrer en clave transversal las trayectorias de la voz Democracia en Iberoamérica, en este texto de síntesis se toman como prioritarios los casos de España, Brasil, Argentina, Perú y México, cuyos textos específicos se incluyen en este dossier.
The Role of Technology in Shaping Modern Human Resource Management
Authors: Manekar Ankita U
Published: December 2024

The use of technology has caused a dramatic shift in Human Resource Management (HRM). Human resources (HR) technology has come a long way, baby, from simple payroll systems to cutting-edge AI and ML-powered applications. By automating mundane processes and offering data-driven insights, modern HR solutions streamline personnel management, training, performance assessment, and recruiting. The training and development of employees is being transformed by new technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). Nevertheless, difficulties continue to exist in tandem with these developments. There are a number of potential downsides to using technology in human resource management, including worries about data protection, expensive implementation costs, ethical quandaries, and reluctant employees. Organizations must resolve these concerns to preserve confidence and guarantee justice, according to the evaluation. The human aspect is still crucial in creating an inclusive and supportive workplace, even when technology is changing HR practices.

The research conducted in this paper targets to examine the efficiency of the 24-bits floating-point (FP24) format on data modelled by the Gaussian distribution. To accomplish this goal, we exploit a connection that exists between binary formats and quantization, so we apply the objective measures such as distortion and SQNR (signal-to-quantization noise ratio) to estimate the performance of the FP24 format. In particular, performance investigation of this format is performed in the theoretical domain for both mean-squared error (MSE) and absolute error (AE) measures. Results for both metrics are provided in the wide dynamic range of the input data variances and show that the SQNR is high (103.79 dB for MSE and 105.19 dB for AE) and varies negligibly. Therefore, the FP24 format can be considered as an excellent candidate for representing Gaussian data in practical variance-sensitive applications.

Published: December 2024

This study explores the adoption of lateral thinking among XII standard students in Madurai district, focusing on its relationship with background variables such as gender, type of family, and subject group. Employing a normative survey method, a random sample of 200 students was selected, and data were collected using a lateral thinking scale developed and validated by the researcher. Statistical techniques including mean, standard deviation, and t-tests were utilized for analysis. The findings reveal a moderate level of lateral thinking among students overall. Significant differences were observed in lateral thinking based on gender, with female students demonstrating higher levels compared to male students. Similarly, students in science groups exhibited greater lateral thinking capabilities compared to their peers in arts groups. However, no significant differences were found between students from joint and nuclear families. The study underscores the importance of fostering lateral thinking as a skill that enhances creativity and problem-solving abilities. It recommends psychological support and encouragement from parents and teachers to nurture this skill in higher secondary students. Additionally, schools are encouraged to balance academic excellence with the development of creative abilities through innovative teaching strategies and rewards. This research provides valuable insights into the factors influencing lateral thinking and highlights the potential for further studies to explore its impact on academic achievement and its relationship with critical and reflective thinking in diverse student populations.
Advances in Membrane Technology for Gold Extraction: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Kee Lim Cee , Shoparwe Noor Fazliani
Published: December 2024

This comprehensive review investigates recent advancements in separation technologies for gold extraction, focusing on sustainable and efficient methods to address environmental concerns associated with traditional practices. The study explores innovative techniques such as hydrometallurgical methods, biocyanidation, biosorption, and membrane technology, evaluating their mechanisms and environmental implications. Significant trends in gold extraction have emerged over the past five years, as revealed by a comprehensive review of numerous studies. One such trend is the increasing adoption of non-toxic leaching agents like thiocyanate, which show comparable recovery rates to cyanide while posing lower environmental risks. Additionally, advancements in bioleaching through engineered microbial strains have demonstrated improved gold solubilization efficiencies, with reported increases of up to 25% in recovery rates. Membrane technologies, particularly composite and nanostructured membranes, have emerged as promising alternatives for selective gold ion separation, offering enhanced permeability and selectivity. The integration of these advanced technologies into hybrid systems further enhances overall recovery rates, with efficiencies of over 95% when combining biological and physical separation methods. This review concludes that the future of gold extraction lies in the combination of these innovative technologies, which improve recovery efficiencies and address critical environmental concerns. The ongoing research in this field is vital for the development of sustainable gold recovery processes that meet both economic and ecological demands. By examining the mechanisms, efficiencies, and environmental impacts of these methods, this paper highlights the future potential of separation technologies in sustainable gold recovery.

Religious Literacy as The Future Direction of Islamic Education and The Basis of Teaching Civic Education in Pesantren
Authors: Usman Usman
Published: December 2024

Since religious literacy originated in Western society, it is important to first address its application in America and Europe. The teaching of the Bible in American contexts faces several serious issues, particularly in Texas public schools. These issues include anti-Semitism, sectarianism bias, the authority to interpret the Bible as God's word, understanding Judaism through a Christian lens, the Bible as a science textbook, and the Bible's role as the foundation of America. If Bible education in general continues to confront numerous issues in America, then Indonesia's issue is determining whether religion must be taught in formal education. Practically speaking, religious literacy refers to the capacity to comprehend various religious doctrines and rituals to maintain societal harmony and prevent conflicts stemming from religious differences. The significance of religious literacy and civic education in Islamic education and pesantren will be emphasized in this article. This article employs interdisciplinary methodologies to conduct qualitative research. Participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies are the approaches used to collect the data. Comparative constant and symbolic interaction are the analysis techniques used. This article concluded that teaching about religion in accordance with the religious literacy idea is far superior to placing a strong emphasis on dogma and indoctrination. The religious education policy determines whether religious literacy instruction is successful. It is necessary to reconstruct and rework the goal and methodology of religious education in the instance of Indonesia.

Organisational values are the principles and beliefs that help companies build culture and act
as a guiding tool in shaping a company’s behaviour. They are the basis for making decisions
and prioritising tasks. Also, aligning values is essential for a committed workforce to enhance
performance both at individual and organisational levels. The study examines the effect of
organisation-shared values and value congruence on organisational performance. This work was
done based on a sample assessment of 550 employees working in IT companies in Bangalore. The
response was collected using value taxonomy and value congruence statements. HR dimensions of
qualitative organisation performance, such as employee sati sfaction, employee morale, turnover
and absenteeism, communication, HRM practices, and Top management, were tested using a
questionnaire. Regression, correlation, and factor analysis techniques were used to derive the
statistical values to support the interpretations. The findings indicated that shared organisational
values such as individual values, organisation core values, values about relationships, and societal
values have an optimistic impact on the performance of an organisation. Further, the study also
revealed that higher congruence values significantly impact organisational performance.

The present study examined the impact of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) on the operational
efficiency of companies within the manufacturing sector, focusing on a period from 2013 to 2023.
Employing a quantitative research methodology, the analysis encompasses a decade of financial
data for six manufacturing companies, divided into pre-merger (2013-14 to 2017-18) and postmerger (2018-19 to 2022-23) phases. This study employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to
evaluate operational efficiency based on one output variable (revenue) and nine input variables,
including operating costs, debt level, capital expenditure, and others. The findings reveal
significant variations in efficiency scores, indicating that M&As have a heterogeneous impact on
the operational efficiency of companies. Specifically, the study identifies shift s in the efficiency
rankings of companies post-M&A, with some firms demonstrating marked improvements in
operational performance. The research underscores the utility of DEA as a tool for analysing
and enhancing the success of M&As in the manufacturing sector, highlighting the importance of
strategic planning and operational efficiency in achieving favourable M&A outcomes.
Mieux vaut une avarie qu’une avanie. Les officiers de marine face à la honte d’une expérience combattante jugée indigne (été 1914-hiver 1915)
Authors: Martinant de Préneuf Jean de , Vaisset Thomas
Published: December 2024

En août 1914, les officiers de marine français, qui baignent dans une mystique de l’offensive fondée sur l’exaltation du courage viril face au feu adverse, entrent dans la guerre avec pour horizon d’attente une bataille décisive qui serait livrée escadre contre escadre. Mais l’ennemi se dérobe et refuse l’affrontement. Ces conditions opérationnelles très déstabilisantes des premiers mois de guerre sont à l’origine, chez les officiers, d’un sentiment de honte dont les manifestations et les ressorts peuvent être saisis dans leurs correspondances privées. Ces marins sont en effet convaincus d’être privés de l’opportunité de vivre une expérience combattante conforme à un système de valeurs qui participe d’une éthique chevaleresque, héroïque et viriliste alors même que la réalité quotidienne des opérations invite à nuancer le topos de l’inaction de l’Armée navale. Cet article entend questionner l’expérience sensible de la honte au sein d’une catégorie singulière et peu connue des combattants des débuts de la Grande Guerre pour ensuite étudier la manière dont ces hommes s’efforcent de s’en accommoder et de la dépasser. Cela passe par des attitudes visant à demeurer en phase avec le système de valeurs traditionnel. Mais aussi par des tentatives pour réagencer le code de l’honneur propre aux officiers et redéfinir l’éthos combattant dans l’écriture de soi en va-lorisant de nouvelles pratiques guerrières liées à la guerre d’usure qui s’impose en mer.
In August 1914, French naval officers, steeped in a mys-tique of the offensive based on the exaltation of virile courage in the face of enemy fire, entered the war with the expectation of a decisive battle to be fought fleet against fleet. But the enemy evaded them and refused to engage. These very destabilizing operational conditions in the early months of the war gave rise among officers to a sense of shame whose manifestations and underlying causes can be grasped in their private correspondence. These sailors were indeed convinced of being deprived of the opportunity to experience combat according to a system of values that partook of a chivalric, heroic, and virile ethic, even as the daily reality of operations invited a nuanced view of the perceived inaction of the naval forces. This article aims to question the sensitive experience of shame within a singular and little-known category of combatants in the early days of the Great War, and then to study how these men sought to come to terms with it and overcome it. This involved attitudes aimed at remaining in harmony with the traditional value system. But also attempts to rearrange the code of honor specific to officers and to redefine the combat ethos in self-writing by valorizing new warfare practices linked to the grinding war that was imposed at sea.

Published: December 2024

Men are heads of households and wives are housewives. That is the paradigm embedded in our society in general, because so far men have always been the main ones in the front line while wives have always been in a limited area, the problem is that contextually, the role of women is no longer in the domestic area alone, but many have also played a role outside the home to help their husbands earn a living. The question in this article is how can the rights and obligations of husband and wife be carried out in this context? The purpose of this research is to obtain a reconstruction of new rights and obligations that are based on fikih mubadalah. This research is a literature research study, qualitative analysis approach with analysis of mubadalah theory, primary data sources obtained from several documents related to this study. The result of this study is that partners between men and women in realizing justice in the household must be equal, such as mutual deliberation, mutual realization of democracy and mutual good deeds in relationships. The contribution of this article can be applied in households to achieve a harmonious and prosperous household.

Published: December 2024

Déjà en 2009, l’éducateur à l’entrepreneuriat devait être un jardinier selon Camille Carrier. Nous proposons d’expérimenter en pensée cette proposition d’un enseignement dans et par les jardins pour y découvrir une approche de l’entrepreneuriat alternative au modèle néolibéral et à son rapport extractiviste, opportuniste et calculateur à la nature et à la société. Arpentant les jardins, la réflexion nous emmène avec Freire dans une volonté de s’entreprendre en commun ; Rancière (2020) nous rend sensible aux implications politiques, épistémologiques, esthétiques et éthiques d’une conception du paysage ; Benjamin, Dewey et Foucault nous font découvrir les possibilités d’espace de jeu, de seuil, d’expérience et d’hétérotopie du jardin. De nombreuses possibilités d’accompagnement vers l’entrepreneuriat se découvrent ainsi en lien avec les jardins… Pour un entrepreneuriat décidé à d’autres usages du monde, soucieux pour la planète, pour le commun et du sens de son action.
“There’s Just No Real Way to Win”
Authors: Brilmyer Gracen Mikus , Denison Veronica , Sadler Jill K. , Brar Tara
Published: December 2024

Centring around first person accounts, this article shows how some disabled archivists have experienced many different ableist expectations and assumptions in their work: through requirements in job descriptions, performance, and productivity and attitudes around comportment, accommodations, and disability. Drawing on a wide array of literature on disability, affect, and the archival profession while using data collected through interviews with disabled archivists, this article highlights some affective dimensions of archival labour. Interviewees’ past experiences led to an acute awareness of how they might or might not be perceived as “professional.” And managing this awareness and their concerns led to a variety of strategies: participants described overperforming, denying their own needs, and “pushing through” as well as expending significant amounts of time, energy, and work in anticipating, navigating, and managing others’ feelings and ableist attitudes. Together, these findings outline some of the ways disabled people experience the archival profession, perform labour that might be less legible and under-recognized, and feel about their place in the profession. Moreover, such labour illustrates a double bind for disabled archivists – what we might call a paradox of archival ableism. As they navigate others’ assumptions about disability – discriminatory opinions about capabilities, harmful behaviour, and ableist expectations – they simultaneously have to overperform, advocate for their own worthiness for accommodations, and balance the ways these efforts might counteract, contradict, or work against each other. In other words, the paradox of archival ableism is how ableism produces a double bind of having to prove that one is both capable of work and also deserving of the very accommodations needed to do the work and how these efforts often work against each other.
Instabilité politique et chômage en Afrique subsaharienne
Authors: Jacques Hakizimana , Ngakala Akylangongo Olga Euphrasie , Ndinga Mathias Marie Adrien
Published: December 2024

L’Afrique subsaharienne fait face à des situations d’instabilité politique dans un contexte de chômage de masse. À ce sujet, la littérature économique demeure mitigée sur la relation entre les deux phénomènes. Certains auteurs pensent que c’est l’instabilité politique qui est la source du chômage, d’autres pensent le contraire. A cet égard, l’objectif du présent article est d’étudier la relation entre l’instabilité politique et le chômage en Afrique subsaharienne à l’aide du modèle autorégressif à retards échelonnés (ARDL) en données de panel et des données de 2002 à 2022. Les résultats montrent une relation unidirectionnelle allant du chômage vers l’istabilité politique. Ils permettent de soutenir que, d’une part, le chômage est un lubrifiant de l’instabilité politique et que, d’autre part, le chômage est une conséquence marginale de l’instabilité politique. Ces résultats impliquent que soient élaborées et mises en oeuvre des politiques publiques susceptibles de promouvoir la croissance économique et l’emploi et de renforcer la démocratie et la gouvernance afin de rompre les liens vicieux (chômage-instabilité politique) qui handicapent le processus de développement dans les pays au sud du Sahara. Il s’agit, entre autres, de faire les investissements appropriés dans le capital humain, dans les services sociaux de base et dans la promotion de l’industrialisation afin de faciliter l’accès à l’emploi, notamment pour la jeunesse, qui constitue une partie importante de la structure démographique.
La problématique de l’autonomie fiscale des régions à l’aune de la réforme de la décentralisation au Cameroun
Authors: Goudem Laméné Berthelot
Published: December 2024

La réforme de la décentralisation en 2019 a dynamisé l’institution régionale par l’accélération de sa mise en place et l’octroi d’un statut spécial aux régions du Nord-Ouest et du Sud-Ouest, alors en crise. Cependant, elle n’accentue pas l’autonomie fiscale de ces collectivités locales, pour lesquelles l’accomplissement des missions de développement reste un défi crucial. Forte de ce constat, la présente réflexion sur l’autonomie fiscale des régions au regard de l’évolution actuelle de la décentralisation met en évidence la limitation de ladite autonomie par l’État. Il est ainsi démontré, en premier lieu, que cette autonomie est retenue au profit de l’État qui, en plus, n’a pas arrimé de régime fiscal dérogatoire au statut spécial des deux régions susmentionnées. En second lieu, cette autonomie est rationnalisée en vue de préserver la stabilité et l’autorité de l’État ; mais l’aménagement de cette rationalisation peut être envisagé dans une perspective de concrétisation du développement local.
Lumpen Logistics: Stop Working and Get Mad, or Get Mad and Have Fun
Authors: Boscagli Maurizia
Published: December 2024

Resumen 
Gran parte de la creación artística contemporánea apela al cuerpo y al espacio para hacer consciente al público de su rol activo en la experiencia estética. Un rol, no obstante, a menudo incómodo, perceptible en obras que, por ejemplo, comprometen al espectador o espectadora haciéndole tomar decisiones inesperadas, o que despliegan ambientes poco acogedores, complicando incluso el movimiento alrededor de ellas. En este artículo nos preguntamos cómo este habitar frustrado en el contexto del espacio expositivo establece paralelismos con el espacio resultante del proceso mismo de habitar: el entorno doméstico. Nos centramos en artistas que tratan dicho espacio pero como un lugar paradójicamente incómodo, de ahí su inoperancia. En concreto, acudimos a la cama por ser el umbral mínimo de lo doméstico –al proporcionar descanso, reposo y cobijo– , pero cuya incómoda apelación nos permitirá trascender sus límites, apuntando a temas como el derecho a la vivienda, la privacidad, el descanso o la violencia ortopédica en nuestras actuales y disciplinadas sociedades del rendimiento. 
Palabras clave: resistencia; incomodidad; cama; arte contemporáneo; inoperancia. 
Abstract 
A large part of contemporary artistic creation appeals to the body and space to make the public aware of their active role in the aesthetic experience. A role that, nonetheless, is often uncomfortable, perceptible in works that engage the spectator by making him or her make unexpected decisions, or that display unwelcoming, precarious environments that even complicate movement around them. In this article we ask how this frustrated inhabiting around the exhibition space establishes parallels with the space resulting from the very process of inhabiting: the domestic environment. We focus on artists who treat this space as a paradoxically uncomfortable place, hence the loss of its operability. We will turn to the bed as the minimum threshold of the domestic –the one that primarily provides rest or shelter– and whose uncomfortable appeal will allow us to transcend its limits, raising issues such as the right to housing, privacy, rest and orthopaedic violence in our current disciplined societies of efficiency. 
Keywords: resistance; discomfort, bed; contemporary art; inoperosity.
¿Se puede hoy ejercer la pereza en un sentido emancipatorio?

Published: December 2024

ResumenEste artículo explora la noción de pereza en el contexto del capitalismo cognitivo-digital contemporáneo. Cuestiona si es posible ejercer la pereza como forma de resistencia voluntaria frente la captura constante de datos y las formas de valorización del presente. Analiza cómo las tecnologías digitales han transformado el trabajo, desdibujando los límites entre tiempo laboral y de ocio. Retoma ideas de Georg Simmel sobre la pereza como fin último de la acción y reflexiona sobre formas de deserción y sustracción de la lógica productivista actual. Propone una política negativa, inspirada en el feminismo, para abrir espacios de oposición al poder contemporáneo e imaginar futuros de autonomía para individuos y sociedades.

It questions whether it is possible to exercise laziness as a form of voluntary resistance to the constant capture of data and forms of valorisation of the present. It analyses how digital technologies have transformed work, blurring the boundaries between work and leisure time. It takes up Georg Simmel’s ideas on laziness as the ultimate end of action and reflects on forms of desertion and subtraction from the current productivist logic. It proposes a negative politics, inspired by feminism, to open up spaces of opposition to contemporary power and to imagine futures of autonomy for individuals and societies.

Poética de la inoperosidad. La potencia-de-no de la imagen en Guy Debord
Authors: Taccetta Natalia
Published: December 2024

Resumen 
Este artículo se propone reflexionar sobre lo que Giorgio Agamben denomina «poética de la inoperosidad». En este sentido, el concepto de potencia-de-no resulta central en tanto propone que todo acto de creación no solamente resiste (lo cual es posible sostener siguiendo una línea que va de Michel Foucault a Gilles Deleuze), sino que se opone asimismo a la expresión en términos de detener su movimiento hacia el acto y, así, conservar su potencia. A la luz de estas consideraciones, se pretende explorar cómo se construye la imagen cinematográfica de Guy Debord para comprender el gesto de destrucción de la imagen de la sociedad espectacular, como suspensión y crítica de sus mecanismos en la consolidación de la imagen cinematográfica como su propia negación. 
Palabras clave: inoperosidad; potencia-de-no; creación; arqueología; Guy Debord 
Abstract 
This article aims to reflect on what Giorgio Agamben calls «poetics of inoperability». In this sense, the concept of power-of-not is central insofar as it proposes that every act of creation not only resists (which can be maintained following a line that goes from Michel Foucault to Gilles Deleuze), but also opposes expression in terms of stopping its movement towards the act and, thus, preserving its potency. In light of these considerations, the aim is to explore how Guy Debord’s cinematographic image is constructed to understand the gesture of destruction of the image of spectacular society, as a suspension and criticism of its mechanisms in the consolidation of the cinematographic image as its own denial. 
Keywords: inoperosity; power-of-not; creation; archaeology; Guy Debord
Vindicación del gesto mínimo. Entrevista a Taller Placer

Published: December 2024

Resumen 
En esta entrevista, el colectivo artístico Taller Placer, conformado por Paula Miralles y Vicente Arlandis, reflexionan sobre su trayectoria, su modo de entender el arte y el lugar que ocupan la pereza y el rechazo del trabajo en su producción. Se proponen el «gesto mínimo», la «creatividad burocrática» y el «hackeo» como técnicas perezosas (Lazzarato), y conciben el arte desde la teoría de los afectos, la política de los cuidados y la idea de mediación. Además de un análisis de algunas piezas de Taller Placer, como El esfuerzo constante de ganarse la vida o Cuerpo gozoso se eleva ligero, su propuesta se pone en relación con la de otros artistas de su generación, como el colectivo Nyam Nyam o Fermín Jiménez Landa. Así, se presenta un pensamiento coral sobre la vocación política del arte y su capacidad de disidencia frente a la ideología neoliberal de la competencia y la centralidad del trabajo y la eficiencia en la vida contemporánea. 
Palabras clave: pereza; mediación; gesto mínimo; rechazo del trabajo; artes vivas. 
Abstract 
In this interview, the artistic collective Taller Placer, formed by Paula Miralles and Vicente Arlandis, reflect on their career, their way of understanding art and the role displayed by laziness and the refusal of work in their practices. They propose the «minimal gesture», «bureaucratic creativity» and «hacking» as lazy techniques (Lazzarato), and conceive art from the theory of affects, the politics of care and the idea of mediation. In addition to an analysis of some of Taller Placer’s pieces, such as El esfuerzo constante de ganarse la vida or Cuerpo gozoso se eleva ligero, a dialogue between his poetics and other artists of their generation, such as the Nyam Nyam collective or Fermín Jiménez Landa, is established. Thus, a choral thought is presented on the political vocation of art and its capacity for dissidence in the face of the neoliberal ideology of competitivity and the centrality of work and efficiency in contemporary life.

Folklore tradition of the Novgorod region: the problem of the area
Authors: Korolkova Inga
Published: December 2024

The subject of the study is the folklore traditions that existed on the territory of the Novgorod region. Veliky Novgorod is an ancient city that played one of the main roles during the formation of Russian culture and art. Various forms and types of folklore developed on his lands, which had a huge impact on the development of folk music in the Russian North, the Urals and Siberia. The objectives of the article include: clarifying the nature of the relationship between the modern administrative borders of the Novgorod region and local folklore traditions spread on its territory; clarifying the areas of these traditions, taking into account the border areas; highlighting the territory of the spread of folklore traditions representing the Novgorod folklore system proper. The methodology of the work is based on the principles of systematic study of folklore, which have developed in Russian science. One of the leading methods is the areal research method. The allocation of musical and folklore areas is carried out taking into account historical and ethnographic factors. The characteristic of local traditions is given on the basis of the genre composition of musical folklore, its stylistic and structural properties. The article establishes the boundaries of the concept of "Novgorod folklore traditions". It can be applied to the folklore and ethnographic system that developed in the settlement zone of the Ilmen Slovene tribe in the early period of Russian history. There are three folklore and ethnographic complexes on the territory of the modern Novgorod region – southwestern, central and eastern. The Novgorod traditions themselves were formed in Priilmenye, but they were most systematically preserved in the eastern part of the region, which was mastered by immigrants from the central zone.

The subject of the study is the features of the implementation of symbolic meanings of images-symbols of the elements in the phraseological picture of the world based on the material of the Ukrainian language. Research objectives: to identify phraseological units with components-names-of-elements from the phraseological composition of the Ukrainian language; to determine the place of phraseological units of the Ukrainian language of the studied group in the language picture of the world; to consider the characteristic manifestations of the implementation of symbolic meanings of components-names of the elements in Ukrainian phraseological units. The research methodology is based on a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches using the methods of analysis, generalization and synthesis. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that phraseological units with the components water, fire and earth are analyzed using the material of the Ukrainian language: the study of phraseological units associated with the designation of natural phenomena makes it possible to identify the features of the linguistic picture of the world and folk thinking and allows for a better understanding of the value attitudes and specifics of the worldview of the Ukrainian people. Over the centuries, the elements have personified various aspects of human life and nature, thereby creating a rich palette of images that are reflected in phraseology. The symbolic meaning of the image-symbol fire is most often realized in the meanings: destructive or dangerous force, intensification of feelings, anger, speed, test. The symbolic meanings of the image-symbol fire are represented in the phraseology of the Ukrainian language by the following semes: danger, speed, suffering, illness, anger, excitement, blushing, negative character traits, exaltation. Phraseologisms with the symbolic image of earth are often associated with the concepts of social status, respect, life.

Cancer research focuses on new pharmacological agents. Enzymatic approaches have shown promise in reducing cancer burden in experimental models. In this study, Aspergillus fumigatus, a new high-productivity L-methionine-producing fungus, was isolated from soil samples. The enhancement of enzyme production by A. fumigatus was carried out using the method. One-factor-at-a-time for seven different parameters: temperature (25°C, 30°C, 35°C, and 40°C), pH (6 to 10), incubation time (4 to 8 days), inoculum (1% to 3%), substrate concentration (0.2% to 0.5%), and various carbon sources (glucose, fructose, maltose, and lactose), and organic and inorganic nitrogen sources (Yeast extract, peptone, potassium nitrate, and ammonium sulfate). The statistical method, Plackett-Burman (PB), and response surface method design were used for optimization using Design Expert 13 software. The PB formula consisted of 12 run trials and 9 factors: temperature, pH, glucose, and yeast extract. Incubation time: dipotassium phosphate, potassium nitrate, magnesium sulfate, and potassium chloride Three important parameters were identified in this analysis: temperature, yeast extract, and dipotassium phosphate with p-values <0.05. The enzyme yield was then optimized using these important parameters through central composite design with 20 run trials; the highest L-methionase enzyme production was achieved at 30°C, with a yeast extract concentration of 2.4 g/l and a dipotassium phosphate concentration of 1.2 g/l. Regression model analysis resulted in the R2 value of 96.5%, indicating that it was well suited to describe the relationship between the response and the variables.

We consider the problem of olfactory searches in a turbulent environment. We focus on agents that respond solely to odor stimuli, with no access to spatial perception nor prior information about the odor location. We ask whether navigation strategies to a target can be learned robustly within a sequential decision making framework. We develop a reinforcement learning algorithm using a small set of interpretable olfactory states and train it with realistic turbulent odor cues. By introducing a temporal memory, we demonstrate that two salient features of odor traces, discretized in few olfactory states, are sufficient to learn navigation in a realistic odor plume. Performance is dictated by the sparse nature of turbulent plumes. An optimal memory exists which ignores blanks within the plume and activates a recovery strategy outside the plume. We obtain the best performance by letting agents learn their recovery strategy and show that it is mostly casting cross wind, similar to behavior observed in flying insects. The optimal strategy is robust to substantial changes in the odor plumes, suggesting minor parameter tuning may be sufficient to adapt to different environments.

Cerebellar nuclei (CN) neurons serve as the primary output of the cerebellum and originate from the cerebellar primordium at early stages of cerebellar development. These neurons are diverse, integrating information from the cerebellar cortex and relaying it to various brain regions. Employing various methodologies, we have characterized a specific subset of CN neurons that do not originate from the rhombic lip or ventricular zone of the cerebellar primordium. Embryos were collected at early stages of development and processed for immunohistochemistry (IHC), western blotting, in situ hybridization (ISH), embryonic culture, DiI labeling, and flow cytometry analysis (FCM). Our findings indicate that a subset of CN neurons expressing α-synuclein (SNCA), OTX2, MEIS2, and p75NTR (NGFR) are located in the rostroventral region of the NTZ. While CN neurons derived from the rhombic lip are positioned in the caudodorsal area of the NTZ in the cerebellar primordium. Utilizing Otx2-GFP and Atoh1-/- mice, we have determined that these cells do not originate from the germinal zone of the cerebellar primordium. These results suggest the existence of a novel extrinsic germinal zone for the cerebellar primordium, possibly the mesencephalon, from which early CN neurons originate.

Structural hemispheric asymmetry has long been assumed to guide functional lateralization of the human brain, but empirical evidence for this compelling hypothesis remains scarce. Recently, it has been suggested that microstructural asymmetries may be more relevant to functional lateralization than macrostructural asymmetries. To investigate the link between microstructure and function, we analyzed multimodal MRI data in 907 right-handed participants. We quantified structural asymmetry and functional lateralization of the planum temporale (PT), a cortical area crucial for auditory-language processing. We found associations between PT functional lateralization and several structural asymmetries, such as surface area, intracortical myelin content, neurite density, and neurite orientation dispersion. The PT structure also showed hemispheric-specific coupling with its functional activity. All these functional-structural associations are highly specific to within-PT functional activity during auditory-language processing. These results suggest that structural asymmetry underlies functional lateralization of the same brain area and highlights a critical role of microstructural PT asymmetries in auditory-language processing.
