Análise indireta do efeito da sucção em ensaios UCS cíclicos de um solo estabilizado e reforçado com fibras
Authors: Abreu Martins Ligia , Soares Correia António Alberto , Da Venda Oliveira Paulo José , Leal Lemos Luís Joaquim
Published: December 2024

Quando um material é sujeito a carregamento cíclico há alterações no comportamento geomecânico que devem ser conhecidas e caracterizadas para otimizar o binómio segurança-custo de uma dada obra. Para atingir tal objetivo, no presente trabalho apresenta-se uma série de ensaios de resistência à compressão não confinada e triaxiais, monotónicos e previamente submetidos a carregamento cíclico, com e sem membrana a envolver os provetes durante a fase cíclica, para avaliar indiretamente o efeito da sucção num solo mole quimicamente estabilizado e reforçado com fibras. Os resultados são analisados em termos de evolução da deformação axial permanente acumulada, da energia elástica e plástica e da resistência à compressão não confinada, tendo-se observado que a ocorrência de sucção promove um aumento das deformações plásticas acumuladas, da energia elástica e plástica e da resistência à compressão, sendo estes efeitos mitigados com a utilização de uma membrana a envolver os provetes.
Contato substituto e a queda do céu: aproximações entre Reich e a crítica indígena ao modo de vida capitalista
Authors: Silva Cláudia Valéria Sendra da
Published: December 2024

Nesse artigo a autora apresenta aproximações entre a teoria reichiana e narrativas indígenas, tendo como ponto central a adaptação artificial do indivíduo contemporâneo ao contexto capitalista. O conceito de contato substituto, concebido por Wilhelm Reich, e a crítica indígena sobre a disposição dos indivíduos para abdicar de suas necessidades básicas e liberdade são justapostos e dialogam, explicitando processos históricos que perpetuam noções de submissão e obediência na sociedade.
Wilhelm Reich: Neoliberalismo e Tecnologia
Authors: Macêdo Junior Gefferson Eusébio de , Almeida Gabriel Puopolo Alves de
Published: December 2024

Este artigo procura por pistas a partir de uma interrogação colocada acerca de: quais seriam as organizações e dinâmicas pulsionais e/ou libidinais características do “modelo neoliberal”?  Partindo dessa questão, e por não haver uma base de entendimento clara nas linhas que tratam diretamente desse tipo, isto é, em torno de um possível “comportamento neoliberal da libido” e de sua descrição numa formulação mais embasada, é o que se deseja desenvolver ao longo das próximas linhas deste texto. Recorreremos à uma estruturação com base em uma arqueologia das pulsões, desde Freud, articulando especialmente com as formas objetivas e materialistas erguidas por Marx e Engels, numa formulação que culmina em Wilhelm Reich, que integrou ambos fundamentos e perspectivas, unindo o material ao psíquico, e os descreveu, de forma seminal, em sua obra “Psicologia de Massas do Fascismo”, na qual desenvolve uma análise, que tem como chave de compreensão a noção de “caráter”, sobre como a ideologia se torna força material, propondo compreender as capturas que o ideário fascista operou na estrutura libidinal do povo alemão da época. Nossa intenção é atualizar uma descrição freudomarxista - tendo em vista ser Reich um dos pioneiros do campo -  no qual se descreve os processos de mobilização libidinal que promoveu a repetição da carnificina em uma segunda grande guerra e que tem suas dinâmicas renovadas sob o neoliberalismo em nossos dias. A Psicologia Política de Reich, também entendida como “o estudo do fator subjetivo da história” de um povo em uma dada época, nos serve de método a nos guiar ante a análise de uma economia libidinal  agora postas numa “Nova Razão do Mundo” (Dardot e Laval, 2016), em suas formas libidinais/instintuais e objetivas, que se apresentam a partir de uma estruturação fragmentada, ora de controle, ora de desregulação da economia da libido, especialmente no Sul Global por meio do uso de novas tecnologias. Novas formas de governamentalidade (Foucault 2012) entrópicas e que necessariamente precisam ser pontuadas para o intento de acharmos saídas para o quadro fragmentário e autofágico atual da humanidade, em meio a disputas por identidades, atenção pelo consumo, imperativos de gozo e outras modalidades de dominação e cooptação.
Global analysis of stainless steel portal frames
Authors:   , Jůza Jan
Published: December 2024

Stainless steel is an attractive structural material due to its high ductility, appropriate toughness, significant strain hardening and good fire resistance. However, there is a very limited amount of experimental data on whole structures made of stainless steel members. Therefore, loading tests were carried out on seven austenitic stainless steel frames, with five frames made of hollow sections and two frames made of I-sections. The frames had pinned columns and were loaded both vertically and horizontally. The objective of the loading tests was to capture the effects of material nonlinearity on the global behaviour of the stainless steel frames. In fact, material nonlinearity leads to a gradual loss of stiffness, which results in higher deformations and thus a higher second order effect. A numerical model of the studied frames was developed and validated on the basis of the performed experiments. The validated numerical model was further used for the parametric study, which aimed to achieve a wider range of results than could be covered experimentally. The numerically determined ultimate capacities were compared with the analytical procedure according to the Eurocodes. It was found that the ultimate capacity according to the Eurocodes was on average 6.5% higher than the ultimate capacity determined by advanced numerical simulation, which means the Eurocodes prediction is on the unsafe side. A modification of the design procedure was proposed concerning an increase in the magnitude of the sway imperfection (initial inclination of the columns). The results of the modified design procedure were found to be consistent with the results of the numerical simulations within the parametric study. A safety assessment of this proposed design procedure was carried out. The proposed design procedure was found to be acceptable and the resulting partial factors fit within the existing framework of codified values of the partial safety factors.

An examination of the perception of future time among university students from the perspective of demographic variables
Authors: Ekinci Nurullah Emir
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to examine the future time perspective of students in the faculty of sports sciences and the factors influencing this perception in relation to various variables. The population of the study consists of university students, while the sample includes a total of 266 students (128 males, 48.1%, and 138 females, 51.9%) studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Kütahya Dumlupınar University. The data collection instruments include a personal information form developed by the researcher, as well as the Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS), developed by Husman and Shell (1996) and adapted to Turkish culture with validity and reliability studies conducted by Avcı and Erden (2009). In this study, a non-experimental causal-comparative model, one of the quantitative research methods, was employed to identify the current situation. The data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Descriptive statistics such as means, standard deviations, and percentages were included in the analysis. Skewness and kurtosis values were examined, revealing a normal distribution, and Independent Samples T-Test and MANOVA were used to compare the differences. According to the findings, no statistically significant differences were found regarding students' gender, participation in recreational sports, and academic success (p>0.05). However, significant differences were found in favor of students in upper classes based on the class variable (p<0.05). These findings indicate that students become more focused on career goals as they approach graduation, which creates differences in their future time perspectives.

Published: December 2024

The effects of helium plasma seed treatment on lettuce growth under salt stress were studied. Lettuce seeds were treated with an atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) helium plasma at different discharge voltages and then planted in different concentrations of salt solution hydroponic tanks. The results show that under the same NaCl concentration (6 g/L), with the increase of the treatment voltage, the growth and quality of the lettuces gradually improved, as confirmed by the measurement of seedling height, root length, the contents of chlorophyll and nitrogen in the leaves. Similarly, under the same treatment voltage (45 kV), with an increase in NaCl concentration, the promotion effect of plasma treatment gradually strengthens, as verified through significance analysis. These results indicate that plasma seed treatment could improve the salt resistance of lettuces.

Published: December 2024

The growing demand for high-quality rice and rice products is motivating farmers to cultivate traditional rice varieties. To meet this demand, rice production must increase significantly, which requires effective nutrient management practices. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the impact of integrated nutrient management practices on the growth, root morphology, yield parameters and overall yield of improved black Kavuni rice during the Early Kar season (April - August 2023) and Late Samba season (September - January, 2023-24). The experiment followed a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 12 treatments and 3 replications. Based on nitrogen (N) equivalence, appropriate amounts of inorganic fertilizers, farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost (VC) and poultry manure (PM) were applied. Data on plant growth, root morphology, yield parameters and yield were recorded and analysed using LSD at a 5 % significance level. The results indicated that the treatment involving 50 % of the recommended nitrogen dose (RDN) from inorganic fertilizer, 50 % from vermicompost and foliar sprays of 0.5 % ZnSO? and 1 % FeSO? at the tillering, panicle initiation (PI) and flowering stages (T11) produced significantly better growth, root morphology and yield parameters. This treatment was statistically on par with the treatment involving 50 % RDN from inorganic fertilizer, 50 % from vermicompost and foliar sprays of 0.5 % ZnSO? and 1 % FeSO? at the tillering and panicle initiation stages (T8).

Authors: Drozdowicz Jarema
Published: December 2024

The paper attempts to highlight key aspects of the impact of war in Ukraine on educational practices ans schooling system not just in the Ukraine alone, but also in a broader context of the collective West. The role of the school becoes thus crucial in understanding how war influcences the changes in the public sphere, but also influences directly practices and coping strategies allowing educators and academics to continue with their work. The effect of war on ukrainian pupils and chidlren is yet to be edtimated, however it becoes clear now that the long term conseqences of the Russian agression will force educators to introduce new pefdagogical tools and methods in order to deal with the psychological trauma and learning deficits related to war time operations. The issue of war education affects not only schools but also universities. The case of the Pedagogical University of Bierdyansk might serve here as an example how bottom up direct actions and cooperation between students, academics, and local authorities helps to maintain the learning and scientific activity despite obvious obstacles. The text identifies therefore main boundaries and issues of war education with the goal of redefining educatioanl paradigms and adjusting them to the contemporary context.
Sztuczna inteligencja (AI) w modyfikacjach biznesowych i niezauważone przejście od informacji do inwigilacji
Authors: Puślecki Zdzisław W.
Published: December 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming the foundation of IT systems and will gradually take over many decision-making processes. Passion for modern technologies is commonly combined with many years of experience gained in analyzing large data sets and creating analytical applications. Interdisciplinary teams specializing in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools (Machine Learning), in particular classification and prediction models and data clustering, are formed. In the new development conditions, there were radical restrictions on social and economic activity and the emergence of new barriers, which resulted in an increase in the importance of innovative products and services based on modern technologies, aimed at overcoming the economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trends such as gamification, Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) were visible. Thanks to this, the right vision was created, supported by the necessary technical knowledge to implement solutions that open the gate of undiscovered potential. Acceleration of digitization processes resulted in long-term organizational changes, including more frequent remote work of some employees. Uncertainty in the global economy caused by the pandemic has prom pated many companies reassess their development models. Instead of relying on global supply chains, more and more companies have invested in robots, resulting in a manufacturing renaissance in industrialized countries. The main aim of the study is to present artificial intelligence and the threats of its use.

Non‐pharmaceutical interventions are needed to target the growing intergenerational cycle of obesity. We aimed to determine whether in utero exposure to different exercise doses during pregnancy directly reduces infant cellular and whole‐body adiposity. Pregnant women completed ~24 weeks of supervised exercise training; for standardization of exercise analysis (frequency, intensity, time, and volume‐FIT‐V), metrics were assessed from 16 to 36 weeks. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) collected from the umbilical cord at delivery underwent 21 days of adipogenic differentiation, then Oil Red O staining for lipid content. Infant body composition was measured at 1 month of age. ANCOVA and Pearson correlations determined the influence of prenatal exercise on infant adiposity. Exercise decreased infant MSC lipid content (p = 0.01) and body fat percentage (p = 0.009) irrespective of dose. Total exercise volume throughout pregnancy was negatively correlated with infant body fat % (R2 = 0.31, p = 0.02) due to lower subscapular skinfolds (R2 = 0.30, p = 0.02), while weekly exercise duration influenced adipogenic MSC lipid accumulation (R2 = −0.23, p = 0.03) and BF% (R2 = −0.15, p = 0.01). In utero exposure to exercise reduced cellular and whole‐body infant adiposity in a dose‐dependent manner.
Ethnophyletism, War and (Just) Peace: Towards a Theology of
Tolerance
Authors: Asproulis Nikolaos
Published: December 2024

One of the key challenges Orthodox Christianity presents to contemporary society is the imperative to genuinely consider and embrace the “other” without imposing our desires upon them. The article first explores ethnophyletism for the background for any discussion about peace from an Orthodox perspective. Then the involvement of Orthodoxy in the ongoing discussion is critically examined. Finally the article attempts to develop a theology of just peace and tolerance, where the latter is conceived as perhaps one of the most substantial premises often neglected in the respective debates.
Structural and morphological behavior of Al-based hybrid composites reinforced by SiC and WS2 inorganic material
Authors: Biswal Sweta Rani , Sahoo Seshadev
Published: December 2024

Aluminum-based composites exhibit significant potential in automotive engineering, especially in engine components, with potential to improve efficiency and lifespan. The potential and usability of developing high-performance aluminum-based hybrid composites with silicon carbide and tungsten disulfide for automotive applications were investigated in the present study. This study investigates a novel aluminum-based hybrid composite, incorporating 10 wt.% SiC and varying WS2 concentrations (0–12 wt.%). WS2 addition reduces friction, enhancing engine efficiency and lifespan. The structural and morphological features with mechanical behavior of the hybrid composites manufactured via powder metallurgy were examined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis reveals the phase identification with topographical features. Microstructural analysis reveals uniform SiC distribution and WS2 clustering at aluminum grain boundaries. Microhardness increases from 52.86 ± 1.264 HV to 71.12 ± 2.175 HV with increase in WS2 (1–9 wt.%). Wear decreases from 70.56 to 8.48 μm, indicating better lubrication. After 120 h, corrosion rates drop from 0.041 to 0.013 mm a−1 with WS2 (up to 9 wt.%). The research findings suggest that with addition of WS2 and SiC improves corrosion resistance and hardness, minimizing wear.

Pombalismo e a agenda reformista, por uma atuação mais reguladora no Portugal de meados do século XVIII
Authors: Ferreira Pâmela Campos
Published: December 2024

A historiografia portuguesa consolidou a partir dos estudos célebres de António Manuel Hespanha, a imagem de uma monarquia corporativa, onde se verifica a existência de uma complexa e intrincada rede de poderes e jurisdições, a materialização de uma arquitetura de poderes, sendo o monarca representado como a “cabeça” de um extenso corpo social. A propósito de tal assertiva, nos interessa pensar as reformas que tiveram lugar na monarquia lusa a partir de meados do século XVIII, movimento inspirado nas linhas do cameralismo alemão e na police francesa, e que teve na atuação de Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo – marquês de Pombal – um papel fundamental. É sobre tal agenda reformista, extremamente alinhada à police de Nicolas Delamare que passaremos nesse artigo. Palavras-Chave: Pombalismo; ciência de polícia; reformas.  AbstractPortuguese historiography consolidated, from the famous studies by António Manuel Hespanha, the image of a corporate monarchy. This led to the existence of a complex and intricate network of powers and jurisdictions, beyond the materialization of an architecture of powers, in which the monarch is usually represented as the “head” of an extensive social body. Regarding this assertion, we are interested in thinking about the reforms that took place in the Portuguese monarchy from the Middle of 18th century onwards, a movement inspired by the lines of the German cameralism and the French police, in which Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo – marquis of Pombal – had the performance of a fundamental role. In this paper, we bring discussions about this reformist agenda, extremely aligned with the police of Nicolas DelamareKeywords: Pombalism; police science; reforms.
Teoria pós-colonial, decolonialidade e a escrita da História: aproximações epistemológicas e demandas políticas subalternas em emergência
Authors: Do Prado Kelvin Oliveira
Published: December 2024

A historiografia tem lidado com os múltiplos discursos que requerem inclusão e abrangência nas experiencias antes silenciadas por narrativas ditas “oficiais”, em que novas propostas não universalistas apregoam outros olhares. Por isso, este trabalho objetiva pensar a escrita da História tendo em vista algumas proposições emergentes que adentram no campo, como no âmbito da teoria pós-colonial e das insurgências decoloniais. Outrossim, como reflexões de abrangência relativamente recentes, tais contribuições possibilitam evitar o olhar eurocentrado e totalizante na aprendizagem, no ensino e na escrita. Portanto, defende-se uma ótica que tenha em mente múltiplas experiências frente ao saber e ao fazer histórico alinhado às perspectivas que por muito tempo forjaram sujeitos ao espaço da subalternidade. Assim sendo, as novas bases teórico-conceituais possibilitam olhares descentralizadores nas narrativas históricas.Palavras-chave: Historiografia; Desobediência Epistêmica; Decolonização; Subalternidade. AbstractHistoriography is dealing with multiple discourses which require the inclusion of experiences previously silenced by the “official” narratives, in which new non-universalist proposals proclaim other perspectives. For this reason, this research aims to think about the writing of History in view of some emerging propositions entering in the field, such as the studies of post-colonial theory and decolonial thinking. Furthermore, being a relatively recent undertaking, such contributions make it possible to avoid the totalizing Eurocentric view in learning and writing. Therefore, we advocate a treatment which takes into account multiple perspectives when it comes to knowledge and the historical knowledge aligned with the perspectives that for a long-time forged individuals to the space of subalternity. In this way, the new theoretical-conceptual bases enable the decentralization of views in the historical narratives. Keywords: Historiography; Epistemic Disobedience; Decoloniality; Subalternity.

Published: December 2024

A chegada da bicicleta em Belém no início dos anos 1890 representou a inserção de um elemento que ajudou a produzir novas formas de sociabilidades. Como veículo de transporte, esporte e lazer, sua imagem, associada ao momento de riqueza e ostentação que a cidade vivenciava, foi utilizada como produto de movimentação do mercado e símbolo de progresso e modernidade. Notícias presentes em diversos jornais da época, divulgadas em suas seções esportivas e informes cotidianos dão uma ideia do uso disseminado que o veículo alcançou nos anos de 1890 a 1910, bem como dos debates entre autoridades da medicina que expunham algumas restrições de uso, em especial, às mulheres, as quais, já se fazendo presentes em passeios e modalidades específicas de competição, tiveram que lidar com algumas limitações na prática ciclística.Palavras-chave: Bicicleta; Ciclismo; Gênero; Belém. AbstractThe arrival of the bicycle in Belém in the early 1890’s represented the insertion of an element that helped to produce new forms of sociability.

It points out the differences in relations with space between traditional and non-traditional societies. It analyzes modern hybrid societies as a result of modernity. It researches the birth of non-places and their impact on the formation of the identity of the modern subject. The methodology started from the dialogue between authors who approach the relationship between territory and identity, such as Marc Augé, Anthony Giddens and Stuart Hall. It declares that identity is the result of the relationship between the subject and the territorial environment in which he/she is inserted. It defines modernity as the transformation in the individual's relations with the territory. It concludes that the current identity crisis is the result of the way of perceiving space.Keywords: Modernity; Perception; Identity; Non-place; Space.

In mammals, the central circadian clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus, which transmits circadian information to other brain regions and regulates the timing of sleep and wakefulness. Neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH), particularly those producing melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and orexin, are key regulators of sleep and wakefulness. Although the SCN receives nonphotic input from other brain regions, the mechanisms of functional input from the LH to the SCN remain poorly understood. Here, we show that orexin and MCH peptides influence the circadian period within the SCN of both sexes. When these neurons are ablated, the circadian behavioral rhythms are lengthened under constant darkness. Using anterograde and retrograde tracing, we found that orexin and MCH neurons project to the SCN. Furthermore, the application of these peptides to cultured SCN slices shortened circadian rhythms and reduced intracellular cAMP levels. Additionally, pharmacological reduction of intracellular cAMP levels similarly shortened the circadian period in SCN slices. These findings suggest that orexin and MCH peptides from the LH contribute to the modulation of the circadian period in the SCN.
The Managerial and Government Ownership Effect on Dividend Policy: The Moderating Role of Investment Opportunities
Authors: Ismail Abdul Fatah , Anridho Nadia
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study investigates agency conflicts related to dividend policy within corporate companies, focusing on managerial ownership and government ownership.
Methods: Using a quantitative approach, the study employs multiple linear regression and moderation regression analyses. Data from 89 observations of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2019 are analyzed to examine the relationships between ownership structures and dividend policy, and the moderating role of investment opportunities.
Results: The findings indicate that managerial ownership negatively influences dividend policy, with investment opportunities failing to moderate this negative effect. Conversely, government ownership positively impacts dividend policy, but investment opportunities weaken this positive effect. These results underscore the distinct impacts of managerial and government ownership on dividend policies within SOEs.
Novelty: This research offers new insights into agency conflicts and dividend policies of SOEs, a less explored area in corporate finance. It highlights the moderating role of investment opportunities, adding a unique perspective to the understanding of these relationships. However, the study is limited by its sample size, focusing only on publicly listed SOEs, while most SOEs have not gone public. Further research is necessary to fully understand agency conflicts in corporate financial relations across a broader range of SOEs.
Can Advocates’ Legal Culture in Civil Law Enforcement Drive Reform in Indonesia’s Modern Justice System?

Published: December 2024

This study examines the urgent need to reform the legal culture of advocates in Indonesia, specifically in relation to the use of e-court and e-litigation systems in civil law enforcement. These systems were designed to streamline legal processes, offering faster, cheaper, and more accessible trials for material parties. However, advocates have been slow to adopt these technologies, often sticking to traditional methods, which undermines their potential effectiveness. The novelty of this research lies in its exploration of how the legal culture of advocates can be reformed to better leverage e-court and e-litigation. Rather than focusing solely on the technical aspects of these systems, the study emphasizes the socio-legal implications of such reforms. Advocates, as both legal professionals and agents of social change, play a critical role in bridging the gap between new technologies and the material parties they represent. This research contributes to the development of civil procedural law and aims to improve the legal culture of both advocates and clients. Using a qualitative, socio-legal approach, the study gathers data through interviews, observations, document analysis, and personal experiences. The urgency of this reform is underscored by the need for advocates to fully embrace their role in Indonesia’s digital transformation of justice. The study also examines how regulatory tools like PERMA No. 1 of 2019 and No. 7 of 2022 can support these reforms, ultimately driving systemic change in Indonesia’s legal culture and enhancing the effectiveness of e-court and e-litigation.
Wildfires and tourism in the Mediterranean: Balancing conservation and economic interests
Authors: Abrham Josef , Soukupova Jana , Prochazka Petr
Published: December 2024

Wildfires have been a recurrent issue in the Mediterranean region due to its hot, dry summers and dense vegetation, exacerbated by human activities and climate change. This paper examines the complex relationship between wildfires and tourism in Southern Europe, focusing on their regional patterns, interactions, and socio-economic impacts. The study identifies key drivers of wildfire incidence, such as climatic conditions, vegetation type, human activity, and topography, and analyzes their implications for the tourism sector. Through a systematic review of the literature, the authors highlight the increased frequency and intensity of fires in the Mediterranean, which have caused significant ecological, economic, and social damage. The research also discusses the regional diversity of fire occurrences, revealing that most large fires are concentrated in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, France, and Croatia, among the most popular tourist destinations. The impact of wildfires on tourism is multifaceted. At the same time, they decrease the attractiveness of affected areas, leading to reduced visitor numbers and economic losses. The paper suggests that effective fire management and prevention strategies, including public awareness, sustainable tourism practices, and international cooperation, are essential to mitigate the adverse effects of wildfires. It calls for integrating risk management into tourism development plans to enhance the resilience of Southern European destinations to future fire events.
UN Resolution 16/18: An Attempt to Reconstruct the Indistinctness of the Blasphemy Law in Religious Life in Contemporary Indonesia
Authors: Rasyid Abd. , Wasil Wasil
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to describe the vagueness of the concepts and the negative effects of the Blasphemy Law, which is operated in contemporary Indonesia with the law No. 1/PNPS/1965. Since its enactment in 1965, this law has been used by various intolerant groups to vilify, to discredit and to discriminate minority communities, including indigenous people, aliran kepercayaan groups (often used interchangeably with aliran kebatinan or Kejawen), and other non-conformist groups as deviant. According to the Blasphemy Law contents, opethese groups are not recognized as official religions because their religious doctrines are not allowed to be practiced and contradict those held by the majority. This article argues that the maintenance of the Blasphemy Law in Indonesia is not only detrimental to interfaith relations and harmony among the country’s diverse religious communities, but also contributes to the high number of violations of religious freedom and belief. Furthermore, a lot of researchers measure that the blasphemy law is one of two major problems in Indonesia — the other problems are related with religious conversion and proselytism. Its repeal is essential to promote religious tolerance and respect for individual beliefs. Certain doctrines are accepted on the basis of majority rather than merit, while those of minorities are often disregarded. Alternatively, this article will consider Resolution 16/18, also called “Combating Intolerance, Negative Stereotyping and Stigmatization of, and Discrimination, Incitement to Violence against Persons Based on Religion or Belief,” which was submitted by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries to the UN Human Rights Council in 2011 to address the problems caused by the controversial blasphemy law. Keywords: Blasphemy Law, Religious Freedom, and UN Resolution 16/18.
Subordinative Bilingualism Development when Teaching Foreign Language in Higher Education
Authors: Fedkova Olga S. , Lukmanova Natalia V.
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the psychological mechanisms that underlie the formation of subordinate bilingualism among students of non-linguistic specialties in the context of teaching the discipline “Foreign Language.” Subordinate bilingualism is defined as the initial stage of productive speech formation, which is necessary for the further development of mixed coordinated bilingualism and balanced (professional) bilingualism. The emphasis is made on the main stages of transcoding mechanism formation, which contributes to the automation and interiorization of internal speech programs and the development of oral-speech skills. The theoretical analysis of methodological and pedagogical literature, the use of empirical methods such as conversation, observation, interview, testing resulted in the pedagogical technology aimed at the subordinative bilingualism formation among the Elementary level students. The algorithm of this technology is presented as the example of investigating a particular topic. The analysis of the results of systematic and prolonged application of this algorithm in the study of language material proved its effectiveness in relation to the subordinate bilingualism formation, the development of productive speech skills.
