Early in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, there was a high level of optimism based on observational studies and small controlled trials that treating hospitalized patients with convalescent plasma from COVID-19 survivors (CCP) would be an important immunotherapy. However, as more data from controlled trials became available, the results became disappointing, with at best moderate evidence of efficacy when CCP with high titers of neutralizing antibodies was used early in infection. To better understand the potential therapeutic efficacy of CCP, and to further validate SARS-CoV-2 infection of macaques as a reliable animal model for testing such strategies, we inoculated 12 adult rhesus macaques with SARS-CoV-2 by intratracheal and intranasal routes. One day later, 8 animals were infused with pooled human CCP with a high titer of neutralizing antibodies (RVPN NT50 value of 3,003), while 4 control animals received normal human plasma. Animals were monitored for 7 days. Animals treated with CCP had detectable but low levels of antiviral antibodies after infusion. In comparison to the control animals, CCP-treated animals had similar levels of viral RNA in upper and lower respiratory tract secretions, similar detection of viral RNA in lung tissues by in situ hybridization, but lower amounts of infectious virus in the lungs. CCP-treated animals had a moderate, but statistically significant reduction in interstitial pneumonia, as measured by comprehensive lung histology. Thus overall, therapeutic benefits of CCP were marginal and inferior to results obtained earlier with monoclonal antibodies in this animal model. By highlighting strengths and weaknesses, data of this study can help to further optimize nonhuman primate models to provide proof-of-concept of intervention strategies, and guide the future use of convalescent plasma against SARS-CoV-2 and potentially other newly emerging respiratory viruses.
Capoeira: An exploration of animism and the representation of the spirit through ethnographic animation
Authors: Martins Mary
Published: April 2022

This study investigates the relationships between ethnographic study and animation practice, focusing on the Brazilian martial art, capoeira, often referred to as a dance, fight and game. This approach was adopted to explore the ways animation can be placed in relation to both historical and more recent critical theory. A local capoeira community group based in South East London participated in the study for a period of twelve months. The respondents were a combination of teachers and learners, and semi-structured interviews in the form of a conversational style were conducted with several participants. The Capoeira music was composed remotely in collaboration with a capoeira practitioner and a professional berimbau instrumentalist, based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Additional music was recorded in a studio in London by main subject of this study, Professor Saruê. Practice-based investigations are currently in development, consisting of footage recorded on 16 mm black-and-white negative film. Direct animation and scratch film were created using 16 mm black leader and 35 mm film, forming a series of animated experiments. The ethnographic methods later revealed a strong connection between capoeira and the Brazilian religion of Candomblé, and attempts to determine how animation can be used to represent the phenomenon of the spirit. Evaluation and reflection of animation practice revealed a strong relationship between ethnography and animation, a relatively new area with promising developments and scope for further research within visual anthropology. Further research is needed to identify other factors that could strengthen the effectiveness of this methodology. The practice-based components of the overall study revealed the potential for in depth fieldwork, overseas travel and longitudinal study spanning the space of one to two years. This would expand a relatively small yet emerging area of academic research.
The shifting grounds of humour: The case of Masameer in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alaoui Khadija El , Pilotti Maura A. E.
Published: April 2022

Masameer (which means ‘nails’ in Arabic) is a series of cartoons posted on YouTube. Each cartoon addresses, in a manner that is both jocose and analytical, a critical issue that shapes the everyday life of residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Masameer exemplifies not only the views of humour by those who practice and consume it, but also its boundaries within a society both immersed in tradition and forced to respond to calls for change. In the present study, Masameer is used as a tool to understand the practice of humour, from the viewpoints of both producers and users. Guided by the principles of thematic inquiry, the analyses of viewers’ reactions to selected Masameer videos are based on four conceptual categories: overall attitude, specific references to content, orientation and connotation of expressions and analysis/interpretation. Results indicate that most audience’s responses to the issue(s) raised by each video are relevant to its content and exhibit positive sentiment. Although videos succeed in focusing their viewers on content-relevant issues and matters (as demonstrated by the preponderance of relevant comments), they fail to engage a large segment of their viewers in critical analyses of such issues and matters. These findings are interpreted as illustrating the limits of this medium as a device for either fostering social change or merely measuring it.
Towards a representation model of Arabs and Muslims: USA TV series as an amplifier of the cultural hegemonic speech (case study: Homeland)
Authors: Guarinos Virginia , Berciano-Garrido Darío
Published: April 2022

During the last few decades, the production of TV series has experienced a boom, reaching a wider audience and achieving international success. At the same time, these shows absorb social realities and project them, feeding back to the society that creates them. In western society, especially in the United States, Arabs’ and Muslims’ characters are based on social stereotypes, contributing to their expansion of stereotypes and reflecting a totally distorted reality. Hollywood has relied on this almost from its beginning, portraying Arabs and Muslims as others, strange and dangerous beings. This representation has evolved depending on the social, political and economic conflicts of each decade.

This article focuses on the significance of post-9/11 TV series as a propaganda tool, particularly in relation to cultural domination and identity conflict, using textual and content and narrative analysis to study the representation of Arabs’ and Muslims’ characters in Homeland. For this purpose, exhaustive analysis templates have been designed to assist the in-depth analysis of the characters at different levels.

Since the on-screen image of these characters has been changing in recent years, the research aims to highlight a new way of configuration of Arab and Muslim characters, which transcends old representations and consolidates a new model, involving a new perspective of cultural and ideological production against Arab and Muslim identities. In this sense, the exhaustive analysis of Homeland points out that by using narrative instruments to camouflage classic discriminatory stereotypes, the show has become an epitome of ideological and propagandistic projection. Accordingly, Homeland does not propose a resignification of the stereotypes about Arabs and Muslims, despite the time that has elapsed, manifesting in a lack of cultural reconciliation which continues today.
Archaeological Culture and Structure of Archaeological Science
Authors:   State Autonomous Cultural Institution of the Rostov Region “Don Heritage”, A. Faifert
Published: April 2022

The article gives a definition of archaeological culture, which assumed to become consensual. There are three main approaches to the identification of archaeological cultures: typological, territorial-chronological and sociological. Each one individually has irremediable disadvantages. The article substantiates the need for a separate consideration of the archaeological cultures of the primitive era and the cultures of early class societies. A scheme is proposed in which these approaches become consistent procedures within the analytical methodology of archaeology. A description is given to the phratrial model of cultural genesis explaining the change of archaeological cultures. The article proposes a criterion for the sufficiency of sources for the identification of archaeological culture - the manifestation of a system of self-identification through typological analysis. The scheme also allows you to determine the ratio of the terms technocomplex, group of monuments, archaeological culture, etc. On the basis of the above theoretical constructions, the structure of archaeological science consisting of field, desk, theoretical sciences and the history of primitive society is build. The separation of methodological and theoretical branches of science is substantiated.
New Data on the Results of the Study of the Funeral and Memorial Complex the Tsagan-Khushun-II “a” on the Coast of Lake Baikal
Authors:   Irkutsk National Research Technical University, A. Korostelev
Published: April 2022

Funeral and memorial complexes are the objects consisting of human burials and memorial structures or ritual masonry, under which there may be objects that have some symbolic meaning for the people who built them. One of such objects on the Baikal coast is the site of the Iron Age Tsagan Khushun-II in the Priolkhonye. Until now, it was considered an object with one type of funeral rite — the Elginsky, which existed on the territory of the Baikal region from the 3rd century BC to the 4th century AD. Those buried in the grave pits were laid crouched, on their sides, with their heads oriented to the southeast. However, the excavations carried out in recent years have revealed an earlier type of burial — Butukheysky. For the Butukheysky burial rite, the position of the person buried in the grave pit is elongated, on his back, with his head oriented to the southeast. Radiocarbon dates were obtained from the bones of those buried from two Butukheysky burials discovered in the southern part of the burial ground. The age of burial No. 23 corresponds to the erd — beginning of the 2nd centuries BC, the age of burial No. 31 — II — beginning of the 1st centuries BC. Thus, the Butukheysky and Elginsky burial traditions have existed together for more than two centuries. Their representatives buried their dead in the same burial grounds.
Tools from the Objects of the Xianbei Period of the Karban-I Complex (North Altai)
Authors:   Altai State University, N. Seregin , M. Demin ,   Altai State Pedagogical University, S. Matrenin ,   Barnaul Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia
Published: April 2022

The article presents the analysis of the tools found in the burials of the Bulan-Koby culture of the Karban-I necropolis. Research on this site, located in the Chemal region of the Altai Republic, was carried out by an expedition of the Barnaul Pedagogical Institute (now Altai State Pedagogical University) in 1989–1990. The source base of the work is composed of the materials from eight undisturbed burials of adults (mounds No. 9, 11, 14, 25, 27, 30, 33, 39). They are represented by four knives, five awls, two whip handles, one adze, one oselok. The authors analyzed the general, special and individual morphological signs of these objects to determine their relative chronology, taking into account dated analogies from other necropolises of the Bulan-Koby culture, as well as archaeological sites of Central and North Asia of the last quarter of the 1st millennium BC — the first half of the 1st millennium AD. It has been established that most of the recorded tools have an initial period of existence among the population of Altai no earlier than the 2nd century AD. A significant standardization of the location of knives and awls in the graves, in almost all cases at the right thigh of a deceased person, was revealed. The results of the study of materials from the excavations of the Karban-I necropolis allow us to conclude that all the categories of tools discovered were an attribute of the accompanying equipment of men.

Authors:   Altai State University, T. Parshikova , N. Dubova ,   Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2022

The article presents the main aspects of the study of materials from the personal archive of the world famous archaeologist Viktor Ivanovich Sarianidi. For a long time, the scientist’s personal fund was in a state of archival placers, which did not allow using it fully. To organize the entire array of documents, their analysis, description and systematization were carried out. Several key thematic sections have been formed, including materials related to the period 1960–2013. These are manuscripts and copies of scientific papers, field materials from excavations of archaeological sites, photographs, documents on the organizational activities of V.I. Sarianidi, his correspondence, and documents of other persons deposited in the archives of the researcher. For a number of documents of the fund (field diaries, photographs and films), work was carried out on electronic digital copying. Working with the archive made it possible to systematize the entire available array of materials, contributed to a more detailed study of all sources, as well as the introduction of previously unknown information into scientific circulation.
Elga Borisovna Vadetskaya. Two Letters to Mikhail Petrovich Gryaznov. Publication and Comments
Authors:   Institute for the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences, N. Smirnov
Published: April 2022

The archives of Mikhail Petrovich Gryaznov are a remarkable source of information which concerns not only scientific problems and their solution but, to a large extent, also human interrelations. The expansive scientific and friendly relations of M.P. Gryaznov with persons of the same age, as well as his senior and younger colleagues, resulted in the appearance of a huge corpus of the epistolary heritage of the scholar which is fortunately preserved at the scientific archives of the Institute of the History of Material Culture, RAS. Among hundreds of letters to M.P. Gryaznov, some messages by Elga Borisovna Vadetskaya are preserved. For the publication, two letters were selected of the early summer of 1969 written in the expedition when Vadetskaya was already conducting field surveys while Gryaznov seemed to have remained in Leningrad and was just preparing for the trip. In my opinion, these letters describe the situation of the everyday life of the participants of the Krasnoyarsk expedition and vividly characterize Elga Borisovna herself as an independent, ambitious and devoted to science young researcher who studied the antiquities of Southern Siberia. Of particular interest is the subject touched in the second letter and concerned with the history of the resumption of the excavations of the famous burial site of Oglakhty
The Collection of the Elovka Settlement in the Funds of the Museum of Archaeology and E thnography of Oms u (Excavations By V.I. Matyushenko 1982)
Authors:   Omsk Laboratory of Archaeology, Ethnography and Museology, S. Tikhonov
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the consideration of the state of the collection of the Elovka settlement, stored in the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography of Omsk State University. In the 251 Theory and practice of archaeological research cultural layer of the site which is up to 1 m thick, numerous fragments of ceramics and ruins of vessels, mainly from the 12th–10th centuries BC, belonging to the Elovka and Irmen archaeological cultures, were found. Numerous tools, weapons, jewelry made from bronze, animal bones, clay, and shells were found. The cultural layer has not been affected by human activities, so all objects lie in situ. All of the above allows us to consider the settlement as one of the main ones for studying the Late Bronze Age of the Upper Ob region. Unfortunately, V.I. Matyushchenko, who conducted excavations at the settlement, did not have time to complete the analysis of the collection, since he paid much attention to the analysis of cemeteries synchronous to the settlement. The collection is currently available for study. Unfortunately, some of the ceramic dishes have not been organized and are in the bags in which they were brought to Omsk. Another part of the utensils was subjected to office processing, and partially restored. Therefore, it is possible to describe the shape and ornamentation of several hundred vessels. The complex of weapons, tools and decorations has been organized and is available for study. Materials can play an important role in the study of the genesis of cultures of the Late Bronze Age, in connection with an attempt to correct the scheme of their development.

Digital archives are transforming the Humanities and the Sciences. Digitised collections of newspapers and books have pushed scholars to develop new, data-rich methods. Born-digital archives are now better preserved and managed thanks to the development of open-access and commercial software. Digital Humanities have moved from the fringe to the centre of academia. Yet, the path from the appraisal of records to their analysis is far from smooth. This book explores crossovers between various disciplines to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and use of born-digital archives and other cultural assets.
Zwischen Anstalt und Schule
Authors: Garz Jona Tomke
Published: April 2022

Die Entscheidung darüber, ob ein Kind die Volksschule besuchen kann oder in einer besonderen Schule unterrichtet werden muss, ist ein umstrittener Vorgang. Ab Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Umgang mit »schwachsinnigen« Kindern anhand eines sogenannten Aufschreibesystems - Beobachtungsbögen, ärztliche Untersuchungen, IQ-Tests, Gutachten - dokumentiert und organisiert. Bis heute nimmt diese Praxis eine Schlüsselfunktion bei der Entscheidung über den schulischen Verbleib der Kinder ein. Jona Tomke Garz untersucht in seiner interdisziplinär angelegten historischen Studie das sonderpädagogische Aufschreibesystem am Beispiel Berlin mit Fokus auf die damit verbundenen Wissenspraktiken. Dabei zeigt er auf, welche Bedeutung das Beobachten, Schreiben und Verarbeiten für die Formation des Wissens über »Schwachsinn« hat - gerade im Hinblick auf die Institutionalisierung und Professionalisierung der »Schwachsinnigenpädagogik«.

Tiefenresonanz
Authors: Wolf Luise
Published: April 2022

Die Drone Music von The Haxan Cloak bespielt den Körper und macht ihn in seiner Tiefenresonanz spürbar. Hörer*innen erleben eine ›ganze Welt‹, andere verlieren sich darin, empfinden Angst, Leere oder Ohnmacht. Welche Rezeptionsweisen führen zu so unterschiedlichen Hörerfahrungen? Wie kann Musik, die die Sinne überwältigt, andere Selbst- und Wirklichkeitserfahrungen evozieren? Luise Wolf verschränkt kunst- und kulturwissenschaftliche mit (psycho-)akustischen Perspektiven, um die Resonanz in ihren leiblich-reflexiven und künstlerisch-materiellen Bedingungen zu ergründen.
Soziale Medien als Feldzugang und Erkenntnisgegenstand

Michelle Gutstein, Svenja Kneer und Tabea Mildenberger widmen sich in diesem Beitrag der Frage, inwiefern die Wahl des methodischen Vorgehens die Forschungsergebnisse (mit-)produziert. Dabei veranschaulichen und reflektieren die Autorinnen das Zusammenspiel von Methode und Erkenntnis anhand ihres studentischen Forschungsprojektes. Der Feldzugang wurde über den vermeintlich unkonventionellen Weg via soziale Medien ermöglicht. Zugleich ist die zentrale Erkenntnis, dass soziale Medien als Vermittlungsinstanz zwischen verschiedenen Netzwerken fungieren. Diese Beobachtung führt zu den im Beitrag diskutierten Thesen: (1) Soziale Medien stellen eine unterschätzte Möglichkeit des Feldzugangs für zukünftige Migrationsforschung dar (2) die Interaktionen von Netzwerken sind für transnationale Arbeitskräftemobilität von Relevanz.
"To Live Your Life Again, Turn to Page 1"
Authors: Schubert Stefan
Published: April 2022

In this article, Stefan Schubert explores a trend in contemporary popular culture of combining elements of narrative and play via a case study of Neil Patrick Harris's Choose Your Own Autobiography. He introduces play and narrative as intermingling symbolic forms that come with particular affordances. The article then analyzes the 'mechanics' of Harris's text by investigating how these affordances shape the experience of reading the autobiography, and it connects these characteristics to the book's politics. Schubert argues that these ludonarrative elements allow the autobiography to portray the multiplicity of Harris's identity and to self-consciously highlight the constructedness of life-writing stories.
Trauma im Computerspiel
Authors: Spies Thomas
Published: April 2022

Über das Medium Computerspiel findet zunehmend eine Auseinandersetzung mit psychologischen Traumata statt. Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung, Krankheit und Tod sowie Depressionen und Phobien sind hierbei vorherrschende Themen und Motive. Thomas Spies zeigt in einem historischen Überblick und in vergleichenden Analysen Tendenzen der kulturellen Repräsentation auf. Die Beschäftigung mit Titeln wie »Papers, Please«, »Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice« und »Disco Elysium« lässt deutlich werden, wie Computerspiele zunehmend medienspezifische Möglichkeiten finden, die Vielfalt und Komplexität traumatischer Erfahrungen zu vermitteln.
Imaging the Scenes of War
Authors: Decker Christof
Published: April 2022

In American visual culture, the 1930s and 1940s were a key transitional period shaped by the era of modernism and the global confrontation of World War II. Christof Decker demonstrates that the war and its iconography of destruction challenged visual artists to find new ways of representing its consequences. Dealing with trauma and war crimes led to the emergence of complex aesthetic forms and media crossovers. Decker shows that the 1940s were a pivotal period for the creation of horrific yet also innovative representations that boosted American visual modernism and set the stage for debates about the ethics of visual culture in the post-9/11 era.
Design and implementation of protocols for monitoring the condition of vast collections: the case of the treasure of the Spanish Civil War
Authors:   Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute, Madrid, Spain, García Martínez Elena , Pascual Marcos Maria Carmen
Published: April 2022

Cultural heritage institutions, such as archives, libraries, or museums commonly own collections composed of numerous objects, which, due to their large number are not subject to regular and systematic condition monitoring. In the industrial field, inspection standards to evaluate the quality of products have already been developed and certified, based on the evaluation of random pieces. The present research aimed to adapt one of those industrial standards to monitor the conservation condition of vast cultural heritage collections. We used, as a test subject, a numismatic collection composed of 22777 iron coins minted during the Spanish Second Republic. In our first inspection (2018), 1520 coins were sampled according to the industrial standard. Assessment and recording of the conservation condition was carried out through image analysis and coin weighing. In our second inspection (2020- 2021) no significant deterioration of the coins was detected. This second inspection also corroborated the effectiveness of the implemented monitoring protocol.
Comparative Study of Somatic Phraseological Units in English and Azerbaijani Languages
Authors: Malikova Adila Malik
Published: April 2022

Somatic phraseological units, also known as somatisms, consist of a simple word composition that has multiple meanings and form the most ancient lexical layer of the language. Researchers’ growing interest in somatic phraseology stems from the fact that, in terms of the plan of expression and the plan of content, we think that somatic phraseology has two opposite polarities. In other words, the components of the phraseological units as well as their combined whole are, in one way or another, aimed at describing and characterising humans and their activities.

Somatic phraseologies play a special role in the expressiveness of the language and in its emotionality, with one of their main features being the fact that they are figurative, emotional, and expressive. In fact, somatic phraseologies are the most effective and figurative way to reflect concepts than any other phraseological  combinations.

The purpose of this article is to conduct a comparative analysis of phraseological combinations based on the materials of both English and Azerbaijani languages. The study included somatic phraseologies with mouth, foot, head and hand components in English and Azerbaijani, and analysed these from the point of view of semantic differences.

Evaluation of parameters influencing the performance of photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) hybrid system
Authors: El Mliles Mustapha , Amiry Houssam , El Kouari Youssef , Hajjaji Abdelowahed
Published: April 2022

This study analyzes the feasibility of the photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) hybrid system and examines the appropriate parameters to optimize the design of the hybrid system. A new formula that sets a minimal working condition from which the output power of the hybrid system will exceed that of the PV cell alone at 298 K was developed. The experimental results showed that the hybrid system outperformed the PV cell alone at 298 K, once the minimal working condition is attained. Moreover, the results illustrated that we can enhance the performance with a slight change in the cold side temperature of the TE using PV cells with a relatively small temperature coefficient and efficiency. The results indicated also that the model can produce trustworthy predictions, consequently, it may be useful during the design of a hybrid system with optimized performance.
The role of circulating miRNAs in leptin resistance in obese children
Authors: Altınkılıç Emre Murat , Bayrakdar Selami , Seymen Karabulut Gülcan , Haliloğlu Belma , Attar Rukset
Published: April 2022

Objectives

Leptin resistance is one of the important causes of obesity in children. Besides known causes of leptin resistance like mutations in leptin and leptin receptor genes, overexpression of SOCS3 in arcuate nucleus is a potential cause of leptin resistance. We aimed to determine the effects of circulating miRNAs on leptin resistance in obese children by targeting SOCS3 pathway.

Methods

miRNAs potentially targeting SOCS3 were determined by using online target prediction databases. Polymorphisms in miRNA target sequences were determined by using online genome browsers. miRNA expression levels of obese (n=35) and non-obese (n=30) children were determined by qPCR method, genotyping were performed by real-time PCR method and serum leptin, leptin receptor and SOCS3 levels were measured by ELISA method.

Results

miRNA profiling have shown that serum miR-218-5p levels are significantly (p<0.05) increased in accordance with serum leptin levels in obese children.

Conclusions

In this study we used target prediction methods for evaluating potential miRNAs which may involve in development of leptin resistance. We have shown that miR-218-5p might be taking part in leptin resistance in obese children.

Metodología para la gestión de riesgos asociados al suministro de medicamentos de alto costo
Authors: Galeano Ruiz Angie Viviana
Published: April 2022

El suministro de medicamentos de alto costo en los servicios farmacéuticos conlleva un conjunto de procesos críticos que con frecuencia generan pérdidas económicas para dichas organizaciones. La ausencia de procesos estandarizados aunado a la alta probabilidad de errores asociados con el manejo de estos medicamentos, son parte de un panorama recurrente que impone la necesidad de implementar estrategias eficaces para mitigar estas pérdidas al interior de dichas organizaciones. Como estrategia se presenta la propuesta de la guía metodológica para la gestión de los riesgos asociados al suministro de medicamentos de alto costo, la cual es desarrollada en seis (06) pasos que comprenden: la discriminación del contexto; la identificación del riesgo; la tipificación del riesgo; el análisis del riesgo; la evaluación del riesgo; y finalmente, el tratamiento, monitoreo y revisión del riesgo. Todo esto estructurado desde la norma NTC-ISO 31000:2018, la cual permite convertirla en una herramienta de fácil implementación, y de gran utilidad para el tratamiento de los diferentes riesgos que se presentan con el proceso de suministro de medicamentos. Esta guía metodológica ha sido desarrollada a partir de un método descriptivo de revisión fuentes y datos cualitativos y cuantitativos.
Irregular Migrants in Ukraine: Attempt at Quantitative Evaluation
Authors: POZNIAK O. V.
Published: April 2022

Ukraine is in a similar position to many other countries in the world in regards to the challenges in accurately estimating migrants irregularly staying in the country. The lack of reliable estimates has for a long time prevented the government authorities from planning an adequate response to irregular migration in the country, including the development of regularisation programmes. Furthermore, the lack of reliable estimates also results in the replication of obviously exaggerated information on the number of irregular migrants, promotes the spread of migrant-related phobias and allows for irregular migration to be misused in political dialogue. The purpose of the article is to form an estimate of the number of migrants (foreign citizens and stateless persons) staying in Ukraine without legal grounds. The novelty of the study lies in the creation of a scientifically sound algorithm for estimating the number of migrants with unregulated status. The presented assessment is based on the data of official statistics of the state executive authorities of Ukraine using the achievements of international experience and the results of surveys conducted during the study realized by the International Organization for Migration in 2020. Research methods: analysis of documents - regulations, statistics, research materials; sociological methods; system of methods for estimating the volume of unregulated migration (methods of multiplication, coefficients, demographic method, method of re-accounting, method of building social networks, etc.); comparative method. An assessment of unregulated migration trends in Ukraine is made on the basis of official data. It is established that in Ukraine there is a significant increase in the number of detected migrants with unregulated status by the State Migration Service of Ukraine, an increase in the number of potential migrants with unregulated status who were denied entry by the State Border Guard Service and a tendency to stabilization in the number of detainees. A system of methods for estimating the number of migrants with unregulated status is proposed, and, based on its application, it is established that the corresponding number in Ukraine at the end of 2019 ranged from 37.7 to 60.9 thousand people. An algorithm for estimating the number of migrants with unregulated status in the coming years is developed.
Labour Costs: Social Investment for Sustainable Human Development
Authors: NOVAK I. M.
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the study of social investment as elements of labor costs to ensure sustainable human development at the corporate level. Based on the generalization of approaches to understanding and evaluating social investment, concepts of sustainable human development and social responsibility of the organization, it is proposed to consider certain elements of labor costs as internal social investment to ensure sustainable human development. The purpose of the study is to analyze internal social investment in the structure of labor costs, identify key issues and areas for improvement to ensure sustainable human development at the corporate level. The scientific novelty of this work is the substantiation of the methodological approach to the study of labor costs in terms of separation in their structure of internal social investment to ensure sustainable human development in the context of the concept of social responsibility of the organization. This allows to analyze the overall dynamics and structure, sectoral and regional disparities in internal social investment of companies as elements of labor costs, to identify the main problems of social investment in sustainable human development at the corporate level and suggest the ways to improve labor cost statistics, in particular, to improve mechanisms of social dialogue in terms of concluding collective agreements and contracts. To achieve this goal, the following research methods are used: comparative and statistical analysis of data, graphical method of presenting results for quantitative assessment and study of the dynamics of labor costs; methods of system approach, logical analysis, induction and deduction, generalization and analogy in substantiation and development of a methodological approach to the definition of internal social investment at the corporate level as elements of labor costs. Global and European approaches to understanding social investment, sustainable human development, and social responsibility of the organization and labor costs are generalized. Based on the national and international statistics, the dynamics and structure of labor costs by type of economic activity, size of enterprises and regions of Ukraine, their sectoral and regional disparities are analyzed, and the main problems of social investment of sustainable human development at the corporate level are identified. The directions of improvement of statistics of labor costs are proposed, in particular for increase of efficiency of mechanisms of social dialogue in the part of the conclusion of collective agreements and agreements.
ОЦІНКА ВКЛАДУ ІОННОГО ОБМІНУ В ПРОЦЕСАХ ДЕМАНГАНАЦІЇ МОДИФІКОВАНИМ КАТІОНІТОМ КУ-2-8

Ефективним методом очищення води від сполук марганцю є застосування магнетиту, тому доцільним було вдосконалення методу його використання. В роботі очищення води від іонів марганцю проводили в динамічних умовах при фільтруванні води через шар сильнокислотного катіоніту КУ-2-8 в H+, Na+, Ca2+ формах модифікованого магнетитом. Це дозволяє забезпечити постійний контакт розчину з іонообмінним матеріалом та знижує роль лімітуючого дифузійного фактору на процес очищення води. При оцінці ефективності катіоніту КУ-2-8 при вилученні іонів Mn2+ із води в залежності від форми іоніту було встановлено, що ПОДЄ для іоніту в H+, формі становить 2198 мг-екв/дм3, Na+ – 2175 мг-екв/дм3, Ca2+ – 1717 мг-екв/дм3. Отже, при переході від H+ до Na+ і до Ca2+ форми відбувається зниження сорбційної здатності катіоніту КУ-2-8 по іонах Mn2+. При підвищенні початкової концентрації з 5 до 10 та 30 мг/дм3 в дистильованій воді залишкова концентрація зростає від 0.14 до 0.35 та до 1.95 мг/дм3 при фільтрування через 10 см3 іоніту в Ca2+ формі. При вилученні іонів Mn2+ із артезіанської води залишкові концентрація становили 4.0; 7.0 та 27.0 мг/дм3 відповідно. Отже, на модифікованому магнетитом катіоніті іони марганцю вилучаються лише частково за рахунок іонного обміну, а повне вилучення їх із води можливе лише за рахунок каталітичного окислення та висадження на магнетиті.

Invasive ant species are a serious threat to native fauna, especially in highly diverse tropical countries. Therefore, new distribution reports and information on the interactions with other species are essential to understand the potential effects of invasive ants on biodiversity. Here we report for the first time the presence of colonies of Monomorium floricola (Jerdon, 1851) in the nest of the Neotropical social spider Anelosimus eximius (Keyserling, 1884) in the southern part of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Our report extends the known distributional range of M. floricola to the southern Ecuador.

Apples for Audubon and Eggplant for Oya

Harlem’s historic Sugar Hill neighborhood possesses several public parks and cemeteries used by African and Afro-Caribbean Diaspora communities for religious activities. In my research, I have identified and mapped sites of religious activities and conducted interviews with community members, revealing how practitioners of Santería, Vodou, and Yoruba traditions have adapted to their urban home via the use of public space. The religious traditions explored here require interaction with nature and the physical land. Therefore, I argue that public space serves as critical infrastructure for facilitating the practice of these religious traditions. I build on the views of Erika Svendsen, Lindsay Campbell, and Heather McMillen that practitioners who engage in this use of public space derive a psycho-social-spiritual benefit from those spaces, while simultaneously contributing to the diversity and democracy of these public spaces as Frederick Law Olmsted and others have theorized.
