Authors: CHINAKI Christina , SERGAKI Panagiota
Published: March 2021

In recent years, Greece experiences a very intensive financial crisis that -as it is expectedhasimportant effects on the primary sector. ? new form of entrepreneurship for Greece,contract farming, appeared the last years. A successful case study of contract farming inGreece is between the large enterprise “ATHENIAN BREWERY” and the producersmembersof two agricultural cooperatives of Northern Greece. The main aim of this paperis to examine the process of contract farming through agricultural cooperatives.Specifically, this paper investigates the production process of malted barley throughcontracts of members of the cooperative of Epanomi and the cooperative of Trilofos, in thePrefecture of Thessaloniki (Northern Greece) and the private firm “ATHENIAN BREWERY”.Using a structured questionnaire that it was distributed in 132 producers- members of theagricultural cooperative of Epanomi or Trilofoss it was examined the advantages and thedisadvantages of this form of cooperation for both growers-members of these twocooperatives and the private firm. Moreover, it was investigated the role of agriculturalcooperatives in the process of contract farming. The results reveal that the most importantbenefit for the growers is to ensure availability of the products in a predetermined price.The most important benefit for “ATHENIAN BREWERY” is a better production plan whichensures a certain quantity and quality of raw materials. The role of both cooperatives isdeterminative as it guarantees the safety of the process for both contracting parties.

Political Meaning of Stasys Šalkauskis’ Philosophy of Culture
Authors: Jokubaitis Alvydas , Jokubaitis Linas
Published: March 2021

The philosophy of culture put forward by Šalkauskis is a version of political philosophy. By using a typology of the relationship between philosophy and democracy we attempt to prove that his philosophy of culture encompasses not one but few different understandings of the relationship between democracy and philosophy. By comparing the ideas of Šalkauskis with the issues of contemporary political philosophy we can see that democracy today is developing by distancing itself from the principles that Šalkauskis presented in his philosophy of culture. The philosophy of culture as developed by Šalkauskis has two distinctive features. First of all, Christianity is interpreted through the matrix of culture and this is why it becomes compatible with democracy. Secondly, philosophy of culture is consciously transformed into ideology and this transformation is what allowed it to become an important factor in political discussions.

Authors: Safaei Pegah , Khadjeh Gholamhossein , Tabandeh Mohammad Reza , Asasi Keramat
Published: March 2021

Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is an economically important disorder in broiler chickens with unknown aetiology. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the metabolic and molecular alterations related to hypoxia in the myocardium of broiler chickens with SDS. Samples from the cardiac muscle of internal control broiler chickens (ICs) (n = 36) and chickens having died of SDS (n = 36) were obtained during the rearing period. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and the concentration of lactate were measured in the cardiac tissue using available commercial kits. The expression of hypoxia-inducing factor 1α (HIF1α), glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDHK4) and monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) genes was determined in the myocardium by real-time PCR analysis. The results showed the elevation of lactate level and activities of LDH and CPK in the cardiac muscle of SDS-affected chickens compared with the IC birds (P < 0.05). The cardiac muscle expression of HIF1α, MCT4 and GLUT1 genes was increased, while the PDHK4 mRNA level was decreased in the SDS-affected group compared to those in the IC chickens (P < 0.05). Our results showed that metabolic remodelling associated with hypoxia in the cardiac tissues may have an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiac insufficiency and SDS in broiler chickens.

Published: March 2021

The conceptual basis of the article is based on the following position: in modern conditions of innovative development of social systems (both international and national), the structure of migration processes loses the quality of the first position, migration becomes an integral part of its everyday life. The analysis of the social dynamics of migration processes, the strategies of migrants against the background of intensified risks and uncertainty in the receiving side is of particular relevance. The article presents statistical data of the Population Division of the UN international organization – a member of the Global Group on Migration, on the ratio of the number of migrants and the total population on a global scale, as well as the number and share of immigrants in gender and geographic context, a review of scientific foreign and domestic literature is carried out. which reflects the assessments of the features of horizontal movements in recent decades, describes the behavioral strategies of migrants, representatives of a foreign cultural environment. The author’s theoretical multifactor model is presented, aimed at identifying promising areas for further research, reflecting the escalation of the impact of migration flows and the increase in the confrontational component as a counter strategy on the part of local, local communities in the course of intergroup interaction. The paper also provides statistical information on migration growth in the Russian Federation, interprets data from all-Russian research projects collected by a survey method, and a sociological survey of residents of the Yaroslavl region, characterizing the situation of migrants, their involvement in the functioning of economic sectors in the views of Russian residents (at the regional level), as well as revealing the content of relations between local communities with visiting representatives of a foreign cultural environment. An empirical study made it possible to draw a conclusion about the ambivalent response of the residents of the receiving country to the volumes of migration flows and the strategies of migrants. The author substantiated that multiple scaling of the probability of the conflict component in the socio-cultural interaction of the receiving party and arriving representatives of a foreign cultural environment requires a comprehensive implementation of programs for mutual adaptation of the above-named entities, agreed by government agencies and non-profit organizations as parity partners.
Economy and Culture: Is It Possible to Decode the Economy? [Book Review: “Because We Decided So”: Behavioral Economy of Belarus and Its Decoding / K. V. Rudy [et al.] ; Under the Scientific Ed. of K. V. Rudy. – Minsk: Zvezda, 2017. 368 р.]

Published: March 2021

Slowing economic growth, failures of a number of reforms, and rising social tensions are problems encountered in many countries. K.V. Rudy, assistant to the President of the Republic of Belarus for economic issues (2013–2016), brought together a number of leading scientists of the Republic of Belarus and attempted to analyze the failure of the economic policy implemented by him during his public service. As one of the main reasons that the reform of the Belarusian economy could not be carried out according to the planned plan, he calls the culture of Belarusians and offers his view on the cultural matrix of Belarus. The monograph also offers a solution to the identified problem through decoding the economy by changing the cultural matrix, which should proceed in three directions: economic, institutional and socio-logical. The authors see economic decoding in improving the investment climate in order to attract foreign investment; institutional decoding – in changing existing economic, social and innovative development institutions; socio-logical decoding – in using educational paternalism through improving the education system, socio-political transformation by means of nudge ("nudge") and the renewal of the political system, which implies a multi-party system. Discussing the experience of a particular country, the authors of the monograph touch on an important topic of studying the influence of culture on the economy. The history of research on the relationship between economy and culture is rich, but the materials of the post- Soviet countries are of an isolated nature. The review discusses methodological issues that are fundamentally important in the organization of such research and substantiates the relevance of scientific analysis of this topic on the example of Russia.
Forming a Culture-Centric Image of Russia Through Metaphorical Framing
Authors: Gorina Tatyana
Published: March 2021

The paper analyzes the opportunities of applying metaphorical framing in constructing a culturecentric image of Russia. Methodologically it relies on the conceptual metaphor theory elaborated by G. Lakoff and M. Johnson, according to which metaphor is a fundamental cognitive mechanism and enables us to understand and structure a more complex abstract target domain in terms of a more concrete familiar and embodied source domain. Metaphors perform a function of a framing tool: they establish frames and boundaries of human understanding of the world around; focus our attention on a posed problem; affect a recipient's attitude to phenomena, personalities, events foregrounding some the features of a target domain while overshadowing others. In this connection, by applying metaphorical framing one can single out certain aspects of the Russian reality making them salient, either appealing or repulsive, components of the Russian image. Metaphorical frames also enable to disguise some aspects of reality, thus constructing positive or negative attitudes to the country. The study emphasizes that, although the image of Russia within and outside the country is commonly constructed by referring to its political position, economic climate, its negative aspects do not seem to affect the attitudes to the Russian culture, and its development is seen as a process unfolding contrary to the current situation. The cultural component in the image of Russia is currently expressed vaguely, yet some research findings show a high potential for its application in constructing a positive image of Russia, including through metaphorical framing. Promoting a culturecentric image of Russia is possible through employing a range of metaphors such as Russia is a Spring, Russia is a Family and Russia is a Book. The paper concludes that metaphors tuned to the Russian culture will contribute to a change in the deeply rooted negative stereotypes about Russia, to constructing a modern, stable positive image of Russia comprehensible both within and outside the country. Metaphors are capable of stressing the country's openness to interacting with other peoples, its willingness and interest in cooperating with them.

Published: March 2021

Recognizing the importance of the development of human capital, many countries contribute to the growth of international student mobility through various state grants and scholarships for their citizens and foreign students. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research on the state's benefit from sponsoring scholarship programs and study abroad grants in the context of the development of the country's human capital. This article examines scholarship programs and grants to study abroad regarding human capital development, how they can help build human capital, and what can be an obstacle for that. The authors analyze the features and implementation mechanisms and provide typology of the programs in modern conditions. Based on a review of state scholarship programs and grants for studying abroad, and an analysis of scholars' studies and regulatory documents, authors identify existing and potential obstacles to building up and effectively using human capital such as non-return of scholarship holders to their homeland, deskilling, bureaucratic employment procedures, emigration intentions after fulfilling obligations under the program, etc. Exploring of foreign and Russian experience in implementing state scholarship and grant programs, authors determine several ways for the further development of the programs in the context of the idea of human capital building. The results of the study can be applied to the development and improvement of the Russian scholarship programs and grants for studying abroad.

A pandemia de Covid-19 traz desafios aos governos e às sociedades. Os efeitos da pandemia nas regiões marcadas por extrema desigualdade social e nas populações com maior vulnerabilidade e precariedade das condições de vida são deletérios, o que demanda referenciais teórico- metodológicos para compreender seus impactos e construir estratégias para enfrentá-la. Neste ensaio crítico, aborda-se a interconexão de marcadores sociais da diferença na produção das desigualdades que atingem os grupos sociais já marginalizados, como usuários de drogas em situação de rua, trabalhadoras sexuais, trabalhadoras domésticas e jovens LGBTQIA+, e analisam-se as potencialidades da perspectiva interseccional nas análises e na construção política do enfrentamento do problema.
Assessing asset management competency with focus on levels of service and climate change
Authors: Piryonesi S Madeh , El-Diraby Tamer
Published: March 2021

This paper aims at exploring the practice of municipal asset management (AM) planning in Ontario, Canada, and discovering the needs of municipalities. The study is based on conducting a survey of 58 municipalities, studying their AM plans and interviewing municipalities and experts. The findings show that the state of awareness and practice of AM in Ontario has progressed well. Almost all municipalities in Ontario are involved or working on AM systems, and some have reached advanced levels of AM practices. However, several issues persist. Capacity building is at the core of the gaps. There is a need for training professionals on AM concepts and tools. Also, providing guidelines and support for change management in decision-making practices is needed. Smaller municipalities are still facing issues defining the levels of service and linking them to decision making. The next need for AM in Ontario is to link it to climate change strategies and programmes. While some of the municipalities are aware of climate change, they mostly have taken no practical steps regarding adaptation or mitigation. Among key challenges to the success of the Ontario AM strategy is the management of data. There is inconsistency in the specifications for data and limited quality assessment or interoperability guidelines.

We examine the effect of the social networks of bank directors on board gender diversity and compensation using a unique, newly compiled dataset over the 1999-2018 period. We find that within-board social networks are extensive, but there are significant differences in the size and gender composition of social networks of male vs female bank directors. We also find that samegender networks play an important role in determining the gender composition of bank boards. Finally, we show that those connected to male directors receive higher compensation, but we find no evidence that connections to female directors are influential in determining pay and bonuses.

Las muertes y lesiones de personas privadas de la libertad en la Cárcel La Modelo de la ciudad de Bogotá, en los hechos del 21 de marzo de 2020, deslegitiman las acciones estatales desplegadas en procura de mantener el orden penitenciario y degeneran en una masacre.
La función selectiva del sistema penal por el origen étnico y el género, según los datos de mujeres extranjeras en prisión en España por tráfico de drogas
Authors: González Agudelo Gloria
Published: March 2021

El perfil de las mujeres encarceladas por tráfico de drogas en España ha ido cambiando en los últimos años. Cuantitativamente, hay menos mujeres extranjeras en prisión, proceso que se ha producido en paralelo al descenso generalizado de los datos totales de criminalidad conocida y las de internamiento en prisión. Sin embargo, estudios cualitativos muestran que el origen étnico sigue siendo uno de los factores determinantes para el ingreso de mujeres a prisión por tráfico de drogas, estando sobrerrepresentadas en las diferentes etapas del proceso penal, especialmente, las mujeres extranjeras. En este estudio, analizamos las distintas situaciones que, previsiblemente, en los últimos cinco años, han impactado en las cifras oficiales de criminalidad por tráfico de drogas, con el objetivo de determinar si, efectivamente, los datos y perfiles inicialmente identificados en nuestros trabajos previos, se mantienen, o si se han producido cambios reales, en la respuesta penal.

“It’s Not Just Instagram Models”: Exploring the Gendered Political Potential of Young Women’s Instagram Use
Authors: Caldeira Sofia P.
Published: March 2021

With over one billion monthly users worldwide (Constine, 2018) and being embedded in the everyday lives of many young people, Instagram has become a common topic of discussion both in popular media and scholarly debates. As young women are amongst the predominant active users of Instagram (WeAreSocial, 2019) and the demographic stereotypically associated with online self-representation (Burns, 2015), Instagram carries an underlying gendered political potential. This is manifested through online political practices such as hashtag activism (Highfield, 2016), as well as through Instagram’s use of user-generated content to challenge existing politics of representation, broadening the scope of who is considered photographable (Tiidenberg, 2018). This article explores how this gendered political potential is understood by young women using Instagram. This research is based on 13 in-depth interviews with a theoretical sample of female ‘ordinary’ Instagram users (i.e., not celebrities or Insta-famous), aged 18–35. Our findings illustrate how the perception of political potential is grounded in the participants’ understanding of Instagram as an aesthetically-oriented platform (Manovich, 2017). Most participants recognised the potential for engaging in visibility politics (Whittier, 2017), representing a wider diversity of femininities often absent from popular media. However, this was seen as tempered by the co-existence of idealised beauty conventions and the politics of popularity within social media (Van Dijck & Poell, 2013). Furthermore, this political potential is accompanied by the possibility of receiving backlash or being dismissed as a slacktivist (Glenn, 2015). As Instagram becomes a central part of contemporary visual cultures, this article seeks to critically explore the nuanced ways in which young women’s everyday experiences of Instagram intersect with broader cultural and political questions of gender representation.
What a Girl Wants, What a Girl Needs: Analyzing Postfeminist Themes in Girls’ Magazines
Authors: Boschma Marieke , Daalmans Serena
Published: March 2021

Girls’ magazines play an important role in the maintenance of gender perceptions and the creation of gender by young girls. Due to a recent resurgence within public discussion and mediated content of feminist, postfeminist, and antifeminist repertoires, centered on what femininity entails, young girls are growing up in an environment in which conflicting messages are communicated about their gender. To assess, which shared norms and values related to gender are articulated in girl culture and to what extent these post/anti/feminist repertoires are prevalent in the conceptualization of girlhood, it is important to analyze magazines as vehicles of this culture. The current study analyzes if and how contemporary postfeminist thought is articulated in popular girl’s magazines. To reach this goal, we conducted a thematic analysis of three popular Dutch teenage girls’ magazines (N = 27, from 2018), Fashionchick, Cosmogirl, and Girlz. The results revealed that the magazines incorporate feminist, antifeminist, and as a result, postfeminist discourse in their content. The themes in which these repertoires are articulated are centered around: the body, sex, male–female relationships, female empowerment, and self-reflexivity. The magazines function as a source of gender socialization for teenage girls, where among other gendered messages a large palette of postfeminist themes are part of the magazines’ articulation of what it means to be a girl in contemporary society.
EVERYDAY LIFE OF VOLYN JEWS IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD (ACCORDING TO THE HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM IN THE USA)

Published: March 2021

The interview is an important historical source of studying the problematic issues of the history of Ukraine in the XX century. The interview has a lot of factual materials, interpretations, impressions, observations, and development of the interviewees about the described events. Between the two world wars, Western Volhynia remained a part of Poland. About 10% of its population was Jews. This article examines historical evidence of the life of the Jewish population in the cities of Volhynian Voivodeship in the interwar period from the collection of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM). USHMM documents, studies, and interprets the history of the Holocaust. The mission of the museum, due to the museum's strategy, is to help citizens of the world to fight hatred, to prevent genocide, to promote human dignity and to strengthen democracy. Interviews from the USHMM collection are semi-structured and focused, thus aimed at studying a person’s "experience" of individual historical divisions and situations that arose.

The examined memoirs show the construction and spread of Jewish public cities of Volhynian Voivodeship, which was inhabited by about two-thirds of their inhabitants. Education issues are most often addressed to in interviews for those reasons that the interwar period lead to the formation and maturation of respondents. The articles describe the construction, professional employment, religious and social life, as well as the perception of urban space. The analysis of memories gives us idea of a young resident of the Jewish community. On average, this was a person from a religious family which had own small business. Such person attended public and religious school, had acquaintances or friends from different ethnic groups, knew several languages and was not interested in politics at all.

The material presented in this article represents the experience of Holocaust victims. Attention of the researchers in this group is evidence of one-sidedness — one of the main methodological problems of oral historical research. The exploitation of traumatic experience in this article is changed due to the chronological limits of the interwar period. Despite the above problem of oral historical research, methods permit us to add some kind of personal to the general narrative.
THE ROLE OF THE GEORGIAN CONTINGENT IN THE MONGOL TROOPS (1220-1265)
Authors: Machai O.
Published: March 2021

Mongol forces have appeared in the Caucasus since 1220. The desire of the empire was to create world domination. That`s why was necessary to have a powerful army, which included the conquered peoples, among whom were Georgians.

Georgian queen and mtavars resisted the conquerors since the establishment of Mongol rule in the Caucasus. However, due to the lack of competent rulers and strong centralized power, the mtavars later recognized the power of the Mongol commanders and sided with the conqueror. As a result, Georgian Queen Rusudan also recognized the authority of the Mongols.

Every ruler who recognized the power of the khan had to bear military duty - haraj, and pay tribute, among which were taxes on military needs. The article examines various military campaigns in which Georgians participated on the side of the Mongols: the battle against the Romanian sultan in 1243, the capture of Baghdad in 1258, the campaign in Egypt in 1260, the fight against the expansion of the Golden Horde in the early 60s of the thirteenth century. The paper reveals the peculiarity of the Mongolian taxes paid by Georgians - kalan, ulup, the technique of the Mongol battle - hashar, yabagan.

Based on the source and historiographical database, an analysis of the attitude of Georgians to participate in the Mongolian military campaigns is conducted. In particular, the article covers cases when the Mongols suspected Georgians of treason, focusing on the anti-Mongol uprising of King David Ulu. The causes and consequences of the uprisings are explained on the basis of testimonies of Georgian and Armenian chronicles.

Separately, the article reveals the participation of Georgians in the fight against the troops of the Golden Horde, which sought to capture the North Caucasus. Thanks to the participation of Georgians in battles and the construction of fortifications, the Hulaguids were able to protect the region from the invasions of the Juchids.

The study aimed to karyologically analyse three Lallemantia species [L. peltata, L. iberica Mey. and L. canescens] grown in Turkey. Also, it was calculated various karyotype asymmetry and S/AI, CVCL and MC values in this study. Current study found that the chromosome numbers are 2n=14 and they possess median (m) and submedian (sm) centromere. In addition, this study suggested that three Lallemantia species are 2A group based on Stebbins classifications. Furthermore, present study showed Pearson correlation using karyotype asymmetry values and a scatter diagram was formed using A1 and A2. On the other hand, the results obtained from the study were compared with the results of karyotype analysis performed by different literatures and it was concluded that there may be differences according to locality.
Постполитика в сетях постправды
Authors: Костырев Андрей
Published: March 2021

Специфика политических процессов в условиях новой коммуникационной реальности получила название “постправда”. Автор рассматривает постправду как среду множественности информационных влияний, которую можно считать продуктом развития интернета и, особенно, соцсетей. Анализ данных эмпирических исследований позволяет констатировать, что перцепция постправды – это естественный процесс, обусловленный тем, что в ситуации стресса, вызванного информационной перегрузкой, люди больше полагаются не на рациональные аргументы, а на переживания, связанные с внутренними убеждениями. В этих условиях личностные моральные ценности стали влиятельной силой при выборе источников, а также в интерактивных процессах реакции и продуцирования информации. Обретая большую степень свободы в информационном пространстве и становясь субъектом коммуникационного процесса, индивид принимает на себя и большую степень ответственности за принятие решений. Моральные ценности становятся основой политической коммуникации и структуризации в сетевом обществе. Автор делает вывод, что модальность постправды отражает глубинные аксиологические установки индивида. Эффективность политики постправды определяется ее антропоцентричностью. В сетевом обществе политика постправды базируется на закономерностях функционирования и развития онлайн-сетей. В мультимодальном коммуникационном поле постполитика осуществляется как сетевая игра. В процессе этой игры социальные акторы с наибольшей аттрактивностью и высшим уровнем соучастия получают возможность конвертировать свое коммуникационное влияние в политическую власть.
Инновационный и лидерский потенциал в структуре политических установок молодежи (на примере Алтайского края и Новосибирской области)
Authors: Асеев Сергей , Шашкова Ярослава
Published: March 2021

В статье оценивается возможность молодежных политических лидеров и молодежной среды российских регионов выступить субъектом инноваций в общественно-политической сфере. Основное внимание уделяется исследованию представлений молодежи об инновационном потенциале молодежных лидеров и условиях его актуализации. Установлено преобладание у молодых людей прагматичного отношения к своим лидерам, которые должны прежде всего решать проблемы молодежи – если необходимо, в том числе с помощью инноваций. Главными критериями эффективности деятельности лидеров в сознании молодежи выступают их активность и наличие видимых результатов деятельности. Анализ массовых опросов молодежи Алтайского края и Новосибирской области выявил низкий лидерский и инновационный потенциал молодежной среды. Только небольшая часть представителей данной социально-демографической группы готова активно участвовать в политических процессах и взять на себя ответственность за принятие и реализацию управленческих решений. Авторы подчеркивают, что молодежь в большинстве своем негативно оценивает текущее влияние ее лидеров на политический процесс в стране и регионах. Это объясняется действием объективных и субъективных факторов – низкой политической активностью лидеров и наличием ограничений в реализации их инновационного потенциала со стороны политических институтов и элит. На основании опроса депутатов молодежных парламентов и руководителей молодежных общественно-политических организаций изучаемых регионов в статье отмечается, что инновационный потенциал молодежных политических лидеров в современной российской политике не может реализоваться в силу доступности для них только локального уровня управления и сферы молодежной политики, а также отсутствия у них ресурсов и опыта для преодоления установившихся “правил игры”.
