A lot of research on the problem of discourse has been carried out all over the world and is still going on. Although in the works of scholars  on historical discourse talk  about historical facts, historical events, historical records, historical narratives, historical figures, the influence of historical plots in a literary text in the literary mind of readers has not been experimentally studied. Also in this article, based on the historical story of Duman Ramazan’s The Day of Death,  questions necessary for the study are formulated, the level of perception of historical postcolonial events and historical figures by the reader are considered. 18 students of the Buketov University aged 18-19 years voluntarily took part in our experiment. The study classified two categories (historical event and historical figure) based on qualitative content analysis of Mayring. The participants answered questions on the historical story of Duman Ramazan’s The Day of Death in the Google Forms. The questions were devoted to historical figures and historical events. The results of the study indicate that the historical consciousness of the reader in the postcolonial period has not yet been fully formed, the low level of historical documentary perception in the literary text. In conclusion, the main reasons for it are the continuous upbringing of several generations in a colonial country; the mass persecution and execution of the national intellectuals; the impact of the economic crisis after independence on the education sector (one-sidedness in school textbooks and programs).
The Influence of Andalusian Literature on Arabic Literature
Authors: Sheng Du , Singh Gurdip Kaur Saminder
Published: January 2025

As a significant and integral part of medieval Arab civilization, Andalusian literature not only contributed to the expansion of Arabic literary forms and the philosophical depth of its tradition but also played a crucial role in influencing both the Arab world and European literature. Emerging during the Islamic rule of the Iberian Peninsula, Andalusian literature represents a unique blend of Arabic, Jewish, Christian, and Berber cultural elements, reflecting a rich tapestry of ideas, philosophies, and artistic expression. This paper delves into the distinctive characteristics of Andalusian literature, focusing particularly on its groundbreaking contributions to both poetry and prose. Andalusian poets, with their intricate use of language, introduced innovative forms such as muwashshah and zajal, which were highly influential in the development of poetic traditions in both the Arab world and Europe. The study also examines the thematic elements, such as love, nature, and mysticism, which were explored with unprecedented depth and originality. Stylistically, Andalusian literature blended classical Arabic influences with local dialects and diverse literary traditions, resulting in a unique and dynamic literary heritage. Furthermore, the cultural exchanges between the Arab and non-Arab communities of Andalusia fostered an environment of intellectual and artistic flourishing. This synthesis not only bridged cultural and religious divides but also laid the foundation for future literary developments in both the Arab world and Europe.
The Construction Method and Material Selection of the Concept of Linguistic-Cultural Type in Russian Linguistics
Authors: Li Tianying
Published: January 2025

This paper is based on the study of language and cultural type theory. It explores the construction method of the type of personality concept and the selection of materials behind it. This study selects and analyzes the research successes in linguistics since the linguist V.I. Karasik proposed the theory of Linguistic-cultural Type in 2002, with the screening criteria of having a clear object of study and a source of research materials, and the time period of works that have been published between 2002 and 2024. We conclude that the use of diverse methods and sufficient data sources can ensure the comprehensiveness of the research results, while the diversity of research materials should be accepted, no longer limited to dictionary entries and literary texts, and the concept of Linguistic-cultural Type should be collated and analyzed from a comprehensive range of materials over time in order to ensure the representativeness of the research data. Theoretical aspect: This study expands the theory of Linguistic-cultural Type and enriches the theoretical model from the original “term + structural composition” to “term + structural composition + material collection method and optional material sources”. Practical aspect: All the material selection and collection methods provided in this study can be applied to the study of Linguistic-cultural Type in other research subjects, and also provide material inspiration for the study of Linguistic-cultural Type in language and cultural communication, foreign language teaching and learning, and cross-cultural Type personality research.

Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of a study on the professional linguistic personality of a specialist in the legal industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the linguistic rhetorical Ideal aspect in the concept of the Sochi Linguistic & Rhetorical School. An idealized linguistic rhetorical model of the professional linguistic personality of a Kazakhstani lawyer has been created, in which the most significant personal, professional, and speech-thinking qualities of the ‘ideal specialist’ are collected and systemized. Modeling was performed in stages. First, the professional linguistic personality structure of a lawyer is analyzed at four levels: verbal-semantic, linguistic-cognitive, motivational and situational-synthesizing. The verbal and non-verbal means forming each structural level are revealed. Second, the professional competence of a Kazakhstani lawyer is considered and its key professional competencies are determined. The necessity for a lawyer to form and develop an integral linguistic rhetorical competence, combining language, linguistic, rhetorical competencies, which, in turn, integrates textual, communicative and ethno-cultural-speech competencies, is justified. Third, the dominants of the linguistic rhetorical Ideal of speech actions are described, which are Logos, Ethos, Pathos, and Sophia. A generalized scheme is provided upon completion of the modeling of the lawyer's professional linguistic personality. It is concluded that Kazakhstani lawyers, who are most consistent with the linguistic rhetorical model developed in this article, collectively embody the image of an ‘ideal specialist of the legal industry in Kazakhstan’.

The Legal Treatment of Smart Contracts under Croatian Law
Authors: Perkušić Marko
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes smart contracts and the possibilities of applying legal regulation to them. Since smart contracts are not specifically regulated in the Republic of Croatia, the paper considers the possibility of applying European secondary law and Croatian civil law. In doing so, we consider the mode of operation of smart contracts, as well as the various systems by which they can function. Then we determine whether a smart contract is a contract at all and what are the legally relevant features of smart contracts that could help us classify smart contracts. Accordingly, we determine the differences between smart contracts based on the public (decentralized) blockchain and smart contracts based on the private (centralized) blockchain, as well as the differences between the so-called strong and weak smart contracts. From the legal aspect, we analyze the method of concluding smart contracts, their execution, terms of the contract and its interpretation, as well as the fulfillment of the contract itself. The mentioned aspects are considered and compared from the aspect of the applicable law, and special attention is paid to voidability of smart contracts and termination due to non-performance, as well as consumer protection.
Knjižni režim za zakonsko založno pravo na pokretninama velike vrijednosti s posebnim osvrtom na pomorski privilegij – de lege lata i de lege ferenda
Authors: Vuleta Dean
Published: January 2025

Između zakonskog založnog prava na brodu i zrakoplovu postoji pravna korelacija, s obzirom na slične imovinskopravne karakteristike i globalnu zakonsku regulativu stvarnopravnih odnosa na tim pokretninama velike vrijednosti. Odredbama čl. 175. Zakona o obveznim i stvarnopravnim odnosima u zračnom prometu u postupku ovrhe na zrakoplovu predviđena je adekvatna primjena odredbi čl. 867. – 988. Pomorskog zakonika o postupku ovrhe na brodu. Analiza odredbi Pomorskog zakonika i Zakona o obveznim i stvarnopravnim odnosima u zračnom prometu o knjižnom režimu za zakonska založna prava na brodu i zrakoplovu (pomorski i zračni privilegiji) ukazuje na identičnu problematiku koja se može pojaviti u postupku sudskog namirenja tražbina vjerovnika. Ovlaštenik zračnog privilegija ima zakonsku ovlast upisati svoju tražbinu, ako ishodi upis tražbine podnošenjem zahtjeva za upis u registar civilnih zrakoplova, za razliku od pomorskog privilegija u pogledu kojeg je zakonskim odredbama određeno da za postanak pomorskog privilegija i pravne učinke prema trećima nije potreban upis u upisnik brodova, ali se tim odredbama posebno ne spominje ovlast na podnošenje zahtjeva za upis. Ako je ovlaštenik zračnog privilegija podnio zahtjev za upis u registru, njegova se upisana tražbina nalazi u ovršnim spisima i poznata je ovršnom sudu pa nema zapreke da bude obaviješten od strane suda o postupku ovrhe koji je pokrenuo drugi vjerovnik kao ovrhovoditelj i poduzima postupovne radnje u svome interesu. Međutim, ako ne ishodi upis svoje tražbine, jer nije podnio zahtjev za upis vlastitom voljom ili iz objektivnih razloga, izložen je identičnoj problematici vezanoj za ovlaštenika neupisanog pomorskog privilegija, odnosno problematici skrivenih (nevidljivih) tražbina za ovršni sud, vjerovnike i druge zainteresirane osobe u pokrenutom postupku ovrhe. Skrivene tražbine mogu spriječiti ostvarenje samog cilja ovrhe – neupitno namirenje tražbina vjerovnika. Stoga se u radu prvenstveno iznose prijedlozi dopuna i izmjena odredbi Pomorskog zakonika o pomorskom privilegiju koji su adekvatno primjenjivi i na zračni privilegij. Prijedlozi dopuna i izmjena usmjereni su prema reguliranju upisa priznatog i stečenog te osporenog pomorskog privlegija do pokretanja postupka ovrhe, nakon donošenja rješenja o ovrsi i privremene mjere zaustavljanja broda, a najkasnije na ročištu za prodaju broda. Predložena rješenja odstupaju od trenutno važećih odredbi hrvatskoga i poredbenoga prava.

Change on Quality
Authors: Siavashani Nafiseh Salehi
Published: January 2025

This paper investigates the effects of change on air quality . air quality is a critical concern in this region, where climate change affects rainfall patterns, temperature, and hydrological processes. The study assesses changes in key water quality parameters such as T, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate concentration, and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Using historical water quality data and future climate projections, this paper highlights the potential implications for environmental management in the Basin.Human activities and climate change threaten quality in basin. We simulated the monthly concentrations of riverine total nitrogen (TN), ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus (TP), and chemical oxygen demand (CODMn) in 613 sub-watersheds of the nation’s 10 major river basins during the 1980–2050 period based on a 16-year (2003–2018) monitoring dataset using the stacking machine-learning models. The results showed that water quality improved markedly, except for the TN concentration, which was probably due to the lack of a TN control target and assessment system. Quantitative analysis indicated that anthropogenic factors were the primary controls compared with climatic drivers and geographical drivers for TN, TP, and NH3-N concentrations. On the basis of all 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) relevant to water quality in China, the water resources, water environment, aquatic ecology and water security should be considered collectively to achieve improvements in the ecological status of China’s rivers.
A mixed-methods dataset on maternal-reported experiences of breastfeeding difficulties and mental health
Authors: Braithwaite Elizabeth , Wright Nicola , Keenan Joseph , Fawcett Hannah , Kidd Athina , Hughes Karen , Pearson Rebecca
Published: January 2025

Here we provide information on data from an online survey, conducted in October 2023, of 2,010 people who gave birth to their first child within the past decade. Participants must have given their first-born child breastmilk at any timepoint, which could have been directly from the breast or expressed milk. The survey included questions on demographic characteristics, experiences of breastfeeding and any breastfeeding difficulties, the impact of breastfeeding difficulties on lifestyle and mental health, as well as information on perinatal and current depression and anxiety symptoms. The data set includes both qualitative and quantitative responses. Current and in-depth information on links between breastfeeding difficulties and maternal mental health are needed to formulate recommendations to policy makers and support groups. Additionally, this information will be useful for identifying prevention/intervention targets to both support the maintenance of breastfeeding and maternal mental health in the postnatal period.
Innovative Neural Cryptographic Framework for Detecting Ransomware in Encrypted Communication Channels
Authors: Sirik Samuel , Pemberton Algernon , Featherstone Alexander , Braithwaite Harriet , Barmingsley Thaddeus
Published: January 2025

Encrypted communication channels present significant challenges for detecting malicious activities, particularly ransomware, due to the inherent complexity and obfuscation of data. The proposed Neural Cryptographic Framework integrates advanced neural architectures with cryptographic principles to provide a novel approach to detecting ransomware activities within encrypted traffic without compromising privacy. By leveraging latent feature extraction and incorporating temporal dependencies, the framework achieves high detection accuracy and robust classification across various ransomware families and encryption schemes. Comparative experiments highlight its superior performance over traditional signature-based systems and conventional machine learning models, particularly in scenarios involving high entropy and polymorphic attacks. The system's design ensures adaptability to diverse network configurations while maintaining computational efficiency, making it viable for real-time deployment. An entropy-aware mechanism enhances its capability to process encrypted payloads effectively, addressing one of the primary limitations of existing detection techniques. Rigorous testing under controlled environments demonstrates consistent results across multiple evaluation metrics, including precision, recall, and false positive rates. The ability to classify ransomware variants with high accuracy further underscores its practical applicability in mitigating sophisticated cyber threats. The findings validate the feasibility of merging neural computation with cryptographic analysis to address increasingly complex ransomware detection challenges in modern digital ecosystems.
Journalistic Tactic and Intercultural Deficit: Post–publication Audience Engagement in a Finnish News Case Study
Authors: Khalimzoda Ilkhom , Sadaf Shomaila , van Oosten Sanne
Published: January 2025

This study examines audience interaction with a Finnish news article on Facebook, scrutinizing the influence of clickbait headlines and their contribution to intercultural divisions. Utilizing positioning theory and the concept of ‘othering,’ the research enriches our comprehension of media framing, post–publication gatekeeping, and audience conduct in the digital realm. The comment analysis indicates that the audience primarily reacts to the headline, positioning in regard to the incident, often employing sarcasm and emojis to underscore their points. The media entity abstains from participating in post–publication conversation. The study underscores additional significant insights and scrutinizes the scant presence of rational–critical reasoning, proposing strategies for its augmentation on digital platforms. By examining these dynamics within the digital milieu, the research offers a more layered portrayal of the perceived ‘other’ and addresses detrimental positioning.
The Relevance of Visual Backgrounds in Video Conferencing in Professional Telework Contexts
Authors: Stautner Stefan
Published: January 2025

The widespread adoption of telework has elevated video conferencing from a convenience to a core modality of professional communication. While bandwidth, audio quality, and participant engagement have often been at the forefront of discussion, the role of visual backgrounds—be they physical or virtual—warrants closer theoretical examination. This paper explores established frameworks from organizational psychology, media studies, communication theory, and critical theory to elucidate how backgrounds influence professional credibility, attention, privacy, and organizational culture in remote work settings. By drawing on symbolic interactionism, social presence theory, impression management, and insights from the Frankfurt School—particularly Walter Benjamin’s concept of “aura”—this study offers a theoretical roadmap for understanding how visual backgrounds can subtly shape professional perceptions, authenticity, and outcomes.
The end into the beginning: Prolepsis and the reconstruction of the collective past
Authors: de Luna Ignacio Brescó
Published: January 2025

Prolepsis – or the narrative manoeuver consisting of narrating or evoking a future event in advance – is a concept borrowed from literary theory that has been used in Psychology for studying the contribution of culture and meaning to development. Cole applies the notion of prolepsis to upbringing insofar as parents’ imagined goals vis-a`-vis their offspring guide their educational childrearing, thus channelling the child’s present towards the parents’ imagined future. This view coincides with cultural psych- ology in that humans are considered as future-oriented beings, constructing cultural tools that mediate the way we interpret the world and act within it. Drawing from this theoretical framework, this paper applies the notion of prolepsis to collective memory in order to examine how imagined futures are brought into the present by means of particular ways of reconstructing the past, thus mobilizing collectives towards certain political goals. Along these lines, the narrative, pragmatic and normative dimensions of collective memory are discussed. The paper concludes with some reflections on the role of politics of imagination in promoting different ways of relating past, present and future.
How do voters react to diversity in politics?
Authors: van Oosten Sanne
Published: January 2025

Under what circumstances are voters likely to vote for women, ethnic minorities and Muslims in politics? I studied voter reactions to women, ethnic minority, and Muslim politicians, as well as how women, ethnic minorities, and Muslims themselves respond to in-group politicians. I specifically explored how policy stereotypes influence these perceptions. I identify two main schools of thought in the literature: “unjust” stereotypes, which reflected negative associations with minority politicians, and “useful” stereotypes, which helped voters infer policy positions based on gender or ethnicity. Through a meta-analysis of existing candidate experiments, I revealed no significant discrimination against politicians of colour, mostly based on US data. In Europe, I also found no significant discrimination against politicians with a migration background, though I found very strong discrimination against Muslim politicians. Voters tend to stereotype Muslim politicians, and I research the extent to which voters stereotype Muslim politicians as being homophobic. I revealed that discrimination against Muslim politicians disappears if they distance themselves from stereotypical policies, a strategy I termed “broadstancing.” This suggests that voters use identity as a proxy for policy, but when fears of certain policies are removed in the eyes of voters, discrimination against Muslim politicians disappears, pointing towards the use of “useful” stereotypes that make it easier to decide who to vote for. Muslim voters did not strongly prefer in-group candidates, except for in the Netherlands, where they are also more likely to vote for DENK because of a preference for politicians who stand for Muslim interests. My findings suggest that Muslim voters are less likely to use identity as a proxy for policy because they are more aware of the constraints faced by Muslim politicians in representing their interests.
The Bioelectrics of Immortality and Mortality in Cold-Sensitive Hydra oligactis
Authors: Kapsetaki Stefania E. , Levin Michael
Published: January 2025

Bioelectric properties of cells are an important aspect of development, regeneration, and cancer. Because of their relevance to establishment and maintenance of tissue form and function, bioelectric patterns have been hypothesized to have a role in aging. However, no data on bioelectric patterns of the whole body of young and old individuals have been available. We observed and quantified the bioelectrics of whole-body immortal (growing at 22°C) and aging mortal (growing at 10°C) cold-sensitive (CS) Hydra oligactis. We found that the membrane-voltage-sensitive dyes FluoVolt and VF2.1.Cl can be used to reveal large-scale patterns of cellular membrane resting voltage potentials in Hydra. The consensus whole-body bioelectric atlas of immortal H. oligactis shows a consistently depolarized foot, and occasionally depolarized tentacles. Immortal hydra are on average more depolarized and exhibit less sharply-defined bioelectric patterns than old mortal hydra. Immortal hydra have a sharper foot:central body ratio than old mortal hydra. These data establish hydra as the first model system in which whole-body bioelectric imaging can be performed; the different bioelectric patterns of immortal versus old mortal hydra are consistent with a bioelectric component to the aging process and suggest a roadmap for using this model organism in anti-aging therapeutic screens involving electroceuticals.
How Politics Percolates Through Science Assessment
Authors: Choi Dahyun
Published: January 2025

Scientific research has been considered a primary source of information for improving policy outcomes, but its use is inevitably intertwined with political considerations. Using a comprehensive dataset of peer-reviewed journal articles evaluated for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, this paper examines the trade-off between partisan bias and evidence quality in internal science evaluation by government agencies. I find that the integration of science into policymaking is guided by a pursuit of expertise but biased in favor of the presidential administration. The evaluation of low-quality studies is more susceptible to partisan bias, while high-quality studies remain relatively unaffected. This work not only provides an empirical examination of long-standing questions about how information is used by politically divergent factions but also illuminates the pathways through which academic research connects the contours of evidence-based policymaking.

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing for Industrial Part Fabrication: A Short Review
Authors: Ejiri Shinichiro
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this review is to summarize the status of wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) in industrial parts and identify future research topics. First, a literature review of the results of studies on WAAM for industrial parts was conducted to summarize the current literature. Based on the study results obtained through the literature review, the main current issues are summarized. It was found that studies on WAAM have been conducted for a variety of industries, but not for all industries where arc welding, the basis of WAAM, is used. In addition, many studies have been conducted on steel, whereas no studies have been conducted on titanium or multi-materials. The study concluded that an effective means of expanding the industrial use of WAAM is to treat the uncovered topics.
People spontaneously partition their visual space when retrieving concepts from memory
Authors: Viganò Simone , Cristoforetti Giulia , Mizzon Gaia , Bottini Roberto
Published: January 2025

In the physical world, we efficiently organize objects in space to facilitate finding them when mostly needed. Does this tendency to order the external environment extend to conceptual information that is internally stored in memory? Here we report that when people were asked to retrieve different concepts from memory, they spontaneously directed their gaze to distinct and minimally overlapping portions of their visual space. This effect was replicated across two experiments, and was correlated with retrieval performance. Interestingly, this categorical partitioning, which differentiated the content of the retrieved information, was paired with a temporal partitioning, which reflected the temporal progression of the retrieval experience. These findings reveal a tendency of humans to separately organize their memories during retrieval, disentangling content (the “what”) and time (the “when”) via a spontaneous oculomotor behavior.
Neural Substrates Associated with Character Amnesia in Chinese Handwriting: An fNIRS Study
Authors: Xu Zebo , Yang Yang , Yuan Tai , Feng Gangyi , Cai Zhenguang Garry
Published: January 2025

Chinese speakers have long suffered from character amnesia in handwriting, failing to handwrite a character despite being able to recognize it. The neurocognitive mechanisms underlying character amnesia remain unclear. The current study employed functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to explore brain regions that are associated with character amnesia; in particular, we tested whether character amnesia is associated with deactivation in the fusiform gyrus (FG), the superior parietal gyrus (SPG), or the supramarginal gyrus (SMG), which have been shown to respectively associated with the orthographic lexicon, graphemic buffer, and phonology-orthography conversion. In a handwriting-to-dictation task, twenty-three Cantonese-speaking adults handwrote a character according to a dictation prompt and then reported whether they correctly handwrote the character or suffered from character amnesia. fNIRS results showed that, compared to correct handwriting, character amnesia elicited significantly reduced neural activation in the bilateral FG, the SPG, and the SMG. Parametric analyses showed that character frequency and number of strokes positively correlated with activation of the FG and the SPG respectively. Functional connectivity analyses further demonstrated that, compared to correct handwriting, character amnesia was associated with significantly decreased connectivity between the left FG and the left SMG, the right FG and the right SMG, the right FG and the right SPG, the right FG and the left SMG, the right FG and the left SPG, but with increased connectivity between the left SPG and the left SMG. Together, these results suggested that character amnesia is associated with the decayed orthographic representations (in the orthographic lexicon) and failure in phonology-orthography conversion, resulting in reduced orthographic information being retrieved (into the graphemic buffer) for handwriting execution.

People tend to show greater liking for expressions of sadness when these expressions are described as art. Why does this effect arise? One obvious hypothesis would be that describing something as art makes people more likely to regard it as fictional, and people prefer expressions of sadness that are not real. We contrast this obvious hypothesis with a hypothesis derived from the philosophical literature. On this alternative hypothesis, describing something as art makes people more inclined to appropriate it, i.e., to see it as an expression of their own sadness. Study 1 found that describing the exact same sad text as art (e.g., a monologue) as opposed to not-art (e.g., a diary entry) led to increased liking for the work. Study 2 showed that this effect is not mediated by fictionality. Study 3 showed that the effect is mediated by appropriation. Study 4 looked at the impact of a manipulation of fictionality. Describing a work as fictional did lead to increased liking, but this effect was completely mediated by appropriation. These results provide at least some initial support for the appropriation hypothesis.

Using two bots with varying degrees of sophistication, our research evaluates the effectiveness of existing bot detection techniques in identifying whether a survey was completed by actual bots. Our findings suggest that while existing bot detection techniques can identify responses generated by simple bots, they may not be effective in identifying AI-powered bots.

ІСТОРИЧНІ ТА ЕТНОПОЛІТИЧНІ ВИМІРИ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ МІЖНАРОДНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ
Authors: Гуменюк Борис
Published: January 2025

Стаття присвячена аналізу змін у концепції міжнародної безпеки після Холодної війни, з особливим акцентом на ролі етнополітики у сучасних міжнародних кризах. Після завершення Холодної війни міжнародна безпека зазнала значних змін, однак нові загрози, зокрема етнополітичні конфлікти, стали одними з головних викликів для глобальної стабільності. Етнічний націоналізм, сепаратизм, культурні чинники стають причинами внутрішніх конфліктів, які можуть ескалюватися в міжнародні кризи, що потребують уваги міжнародних організацій та держави. Одним із ключових аспектів статті є взаємозв’язок між етнополітичними конфліктами та міжнародною безпекою, де етнічні групи часто залишаються фактором не тільки національної, але й глобальної нестабільності. Ці конфлікти нерідко виходять за межі національних кордонів, отримуючи підтримку або викликаючи зовнішнє втручання. Зовнішні сили, намагаючись забезпечити свою політичну та економічну вигоду, можуть підтримати певні етнічні або національні рухи, що посилює ескалацію конфліктів. Важливе значення має роль міжнародних організацій у врегулюванні етнополітичних криз. Однак така організація міжнародної безпеки стикається з труднощами при вирішенні конфліктів, де етнічні питання є основними. У статті також розглядається роль зовнішнього втручання в етнополітичні конфлікти, адже гуманітарні операції, миротворчі місії чи військові втручання можуть мати як позитивні, так і негативні наслідки. Увагу приділено аналізу феномену «етнічної безпеки» в умовах глобалізації, де міжетнічні напруги можуть бути посилені економічними та соціальними факторами. У статті розглядаються також приклади конфліктів, які виникли внаслідок глобальних змін, які можуть спричинити нові етнополітичні кризи. Автор підкреслює важливість перегляду концепції міжнародної безпеки в умовах зростання ролі етнічних та історичних факторів, адже вони мають значний вплив на глобальну стабільність. Врахування етнополітичних і ретроспективих аспектів у міжнародній політиці допоможе ефективніше реагувати на кризову ситуацію та забезпечити довготривалу стабільність.
ПОЛІТИЧНА СТАБІЛЬНІСТЬ ЯК КЛЮЧОВИЙ ЧИННИК ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ: ІНСТИТУЦІЙНИЙ ПІДХІД
Authors: Пустовар Владислав
Published: January 2025

Автор досліджує стійкість та ефективність політичної системи як один із ключових факторів економічної безпеки держави. В сучасних умовах політична стабільність стає основою для ефективного функціонування державних інституцій, прийняття стратегічно важливих рішень і забезпечення стабільного економічного розвитку. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що стійкість політичної системи визначається низкою факторів, зокрема інституційною стабільністю, політичною легітимністю, соціально-економічними умовами та впливом зовнішніх загроз. Ці фактори взаємодіють між собою, створюючи основу для сталого розвитку та зниження ризиків.
Одним із головних аспектів політичної стійкості є інституційна стабільність, яка передбачає надійну роботу державних органів влади, таких як парламент, уряд і судова система. Стабільні та ефективні інституції забезпечують дотримання законів, прозорість рішень і передбачуваність політичних процесів, що зміцнює довіру громадян до влади. У статті зазначено, що інституційна стабільність є важливим елементом у запобіганні кризових ситуацій, які можуть дестабілізувати політичну систему і мати негативний вплив на економічну безпеку. Політична легітимність, яка полягає в суспільному визнанні законності влади, також відіграє важливу роль у забезпеченні стабільності. Зазначено, що довіра громадян до політичної системи й уряду знижує ризик соціальних конфліктів, сприяючи таким чином стабільному політичному середовищу. Крім того, легітимність влади значною мірою залежить від її здатності відповідати на запити суспільства та забезпечувати реалізацію економічних і соціальних програм, що сприяє зміцненню економічної безпеки.
У статті також розглядаються соціально-економічні фактори, які мають значний вплив на стійкість політичної системи. Економічне зростання, справедливий розподіл ресурсів і доступність основних послуг, таких як охорона здоров’я та освіта, знижують соціальну напругу та сприяють політичній стабільності. Натомість економічні кризи, високий рівень безробіття та соціальна нерівність можуть стати каталізаторами протестів і політичних заворушень, що загрожують стійкості держави.
НАЦІОНАЛЬНІ ЦІННОСТІ ТА ОБОРОННА СВІДОМІСТЬ У ФОКУСІ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ
Authors: Волянюк Ольга
Published: January 2025

У статті аналізуються трансформації державної політики України у сфері розвитку оборонної свідомості громадян, а також ціннісних орієнтирів політичної нації в умовах війни. Це переосмислення політологічних категорій свідомості, цінностей, ідентичності через безпековий вимір, що вплинув на наукові дослідження, освітні програми, нормативно-правові документи, політичні практики. Оборонна свідомість, як політико-аксіологічний феномен і елемент національної ідентичності, розглядається у контексті її взаємозв’язку з патріотичним вихованням, громадянською освітою, політичною консолідацією. Державна політика у цій сфері вкотре осмислюється як мистецтво можливого, через цінності, пріоритети, суб’єктність, межі втручання. У дослідженні використовуються політико-аксіологічний підхід, аналіз нормативно-правових актів, наукових текстів, даних соціологічних опитувань. Розкрито, як війна сприяла зростанню пріоритетів безпеки, патріотизму, соціальній зрілості українського суспільства, трансформації цінностей і структури ідентичностей. Визначено, що оборонна свідомість є комплексним явищем, яке потребує міждисциплінарного аналізу, водночас виклики політики ідентичності (пов’язані з політичними маніпуляціями, популізмом, зовнішніми загрозами тощо) потребують якісного політологічного дослідження. Стверджується, що прийняття нових нормативно-правових документів свідчить про спроби посилення ролі держави у сфері національної ідентичності. Водночас важливо уникати міжвідомчих дублювань і суперечностей, прагнути подальшого узгодження такої політики з новими стратегічними цілями, врахувати досвід у сфері розбудови демократичної моделі етнополітики, політики пам’яті, реінтеграції у документах з політики ідентичності. Результати дослідження вказують на необхідність розвитку державної політики у сфері національної ідентичності (та оборонної свідомості як її складової) через науково обґрунтовані концепти та поширення політичних цінностей, які відповідають викликам сучасності.
